13:10 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (11/8 +0%) Tranquil Sea	1.375 11/8(+0%)	(9) Tranquil Sea 11/8, Fair hurdler. 11/4, good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Will take the beating. Sets a good standard here on his last two runs and probably the one to beat.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 -10%) Firebrand	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(1) Firebrand 11/2, Fair maiden on the 33/1, fourth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 53 days ago, travelling as well as any. Likely to figure. Gelded since Fairyhouse and no surprise should he improve enough to be involved.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 +29%) Park That	10 10/1(+29%)	(6) Park That 10/1, Getaway gelding out of a bumper winner who was placed over hurdles. The betting should guide to expectations. Home-bred son of Getaway; likely to improve for what he does here but worth a market check.
4	5 4th (5) (5/2 +0%) Malbay Madness	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(5) Malbay Madness 5/2, Fairly useful Flat winner. Well beaten in Auteuil listed race on hurdle debut but could prov a different proposition in these calmer waters. Tailed off in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil on his sole start over flights but interesting.
5th	10 5th (10) (66/1 -100%) Tyson	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Tyson 66/1, Lord of England gelding. Dam maiden on Flat. Wears hood. Flat pedigree and best watched on his hurdles debut; hooded.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -100%) Thegreenthirteen	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) Thegreenthirteen 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 20 in juvenile hurdle at this course (16.7f, heavy, 66/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Jumped poorly on his hurdles debut here last week but not disgraced; others more likely.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 -71%) Let Him B	12 12/1(-71%)	(4) Let Him B 12/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, well-beaten last of 10 to Shuttle Diplomacy in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) on NH debut 7 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Check the betting. Likely to be better than Limerick and market moves will be the best indicator.
8th	13 8th (13) (66/1 -32%) Duhallow Jury	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) Duhallow Jury 66/1, Jukebox Jury filly. Jukebox Jury filly; may need more of a stamina test.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -10%) Kilcrea Castle	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) Kilcrea Castle 22/1, €5,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam, made frame in points, showed little in bumpers/over hurdles. Stoutly bred newcomer; likely to appreciate time and distance.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (20/1 +0%) Drum Roll	20 20/1(+0%)	(12) Drum Roll 20/1, Fair on Flat in France. Shaped as if better for run when seventh of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 125/1) on NH debut 29 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve. Showed a bit on the Flat in France but tailed off on hurdles bow at Navan this month.
10th	7 10th (7) (66/1 -32%) Shahbaz	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Shahbaz 66/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fourteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 66/1) 14 days ago. Stable having good spell. Soundly beaten in both maiden hurdles and likely to be more effective handicapping.
11th	2 11th (2) (22/1 -10%) Kartel And Co	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Kartel And Co 22/1, Racinger gelding. Dam unraced. Half-brother to a pair of winners in France; best watched on debut.
12th	14 12th (14) (28/1 -12%) Nannie Dee	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) Nannie Dee 28/1, Modest on Flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Ffos Las (10f, heavy). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Placed in a couple of handicaps for the Crisfords; best watched on her hurdles debut.
13th	11 13th (11) (33/1 +0%) Connemara Shore	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) Connemara Shore 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 22 days ago. Beaten out of sight on debut at Gowran three weeks ago; hard to make a case for.

TRANQUIL SEA has plenty of experience over hurdles and appears to have found a decent opportunity to open his account. The son of Teofilo was only beaten half-a-length by Eagles Reign at Punchestown and the winner went on to finish a highly creditable second at the Cheltenham Festival. He also filled the runner-up spot behind hotpot Angostura in a Gowran maiden earlier this month. Malbay Madness has earned a rating in the 80s following two wins on the Flat including at the Galway Festival last summer and was quite highly tried on his only hurdle start in a Listed race at Auteuil. Firebrand showed some promise on the Flat in France and wasn't disgraced on his hurdle debut at Fairyhouse while Shahbaz and Park That are others to consider.

TRANQUIL SEA sets the standard and gets the nod, although a strong market move for the Emmet Mullins-trained Malbay Madness back over hurdles would put a slightly different slant on things. John Nallen's Fairyhouse hurdle debut fourth Fireband may prove best of the remainder.

Slight preference is for TRANQUIL SEA after two runner-up efforts at Punchestown and Gowran and might just be good enough

13:10 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:25 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f - 20 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (Evens +0%) Rath Gaul Boy	0 Evens(+0%)	(12) Rath Gaul Boy Evens, Promising individual. 8/11, pulled up in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 27 days ago (reportedly coughed post race). Better judged on good hurdles debut second at Galway last summer, form which gives him very strong claims. Excuses offered for Leopardstown failure, probably the one to beat if restored to form.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/1 -25%) Pen To Paper	5 5/1(-25%)	(11) Pen To Paper 5/1, Promising sort. 2/1, eleventh of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (15.6f, heavy) on NH debut 35 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Open to improvement. Second-favourite when failed to run to expectations on debut in a 25-runner maiden at Naas.
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 +0%) Elusive Prince	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Elusive Prince 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, soft) 108 days ago. Rachael Blackmore prefers Cobra Queen. Point winner on good ground, ordinary form over hurdles, Rachael Blackmore on Cobra Queen.
4	9 4th (9) (11/4 +0%) Omniscient	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(9) Omniscient 11/4, Useful Flat winner for Sir Mark Prescott Bt. 7/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f), unsuited by way race developed. Very much of interest on hurdles/yard debut. Two wins on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott, interesting recruit but may need good ground.
5th	22 5th (22) (20/1 -25%) One Night Standard	20 20/1(-25%)	(22) One Night Standard 20/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 16 in novice hurdle at Navan (15.7f, heavy) on NH debut 8 days ago. Stable in good form. RESERVE. Second reserve, showed some promise when the stable's second-string on hurdling debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (50/1 +0%) Depalma	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Depalma 50/1, Ocovango gelding. Dam poor maiden over hurdles. Market should point the way. Second foal, dam point winner, sister to good-ground 2m3f hurdle winner Shadows Return.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 -11%) En Or	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) En Or 10/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 14/1, fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Navan (15.7f, heavy) 8 days ago. Player for yard that has won this maiden 3 times since 2015. Four wins on Flat, needs to raise his game on the evidence of two respectable hurdle runs.
8th	17 8th (17) (7/1 -40%) Cobra Queen	7 7/1(-40%)	(17) Cobra Queen 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 16 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy, 16/1) 94 days ago. Remains of interest. Remote fourth behind the talented Jade De Grugy at Leopardstown, place chance here.
9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 +0%) Fairytale New York	150 150/1(+0%)	(6) Fairytale New York 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 20 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 14 days ago. En Or appears to be the stable first-string. Nothing so far to suggest he could feature, his stablemate En Or has shown ability.
14	14 \|U\| (14) (100/1 +0%) Wardens Whisper	100 100/1(+0%)	(14) Wardens Whisper 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, heavy) on NH debut 15 days ago. Always at the back when a big price on his debut at Thurles just over a fortnight ago.
10th	19 10th (19) (250/1 -25%) Realtin Lonrach	250 250/1(-25%)	(19) Realtin Lonrach 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, thirteenth of 21 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy) 21 days ago. Down the field in three outings in recent months, impossible to make a case for her.
11th	1 11th (1) (25/1 +0%) Bernie's Legacy	25 25/1(+0%)	(1) Bernie's Legacy 25/1, Promising individual. Sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 33/1) on NH debut 22 days ago. May well do better. Plenty of improvement is required from debut sixth in a maiden over this trip at Gowran.
12th	18 12th (18) (250/1 -25%) Georgia Celena	250 250/1(-25%)	(18) Georgia Celena 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 200/1, tenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 14 days ago. Two mid-field finishes in maiden hurdles, perhaps one for handicaps in due course.
13th	16 13th (16) (250/1 -25%) Borora River	250 250/1(-25%)	(16) Borora River 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Navan (15.7f, heavy, 200/1) on NH debut 49 days ago. Huge price when in rear first time out in a maiden hurdle at Navan seven weeks ago.
14th	2 14th (2) (250/1 -25%) Darcy's Friend	250 250/1(-25%)	(2) Darcy's Friend 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixteenth of 21 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy, 200/1) 21 days ago. Third in a small-field maiden point, has struggled in two maiden hurdle attempts.
15th	8 15th (8) (250/1 -25%) Mywayorthehighway	250 250/1(-25%)	(8) Mywayorthehighway 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 18 in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, heavy) 15 days ago. Has posed no threat in two outings over hurdles, will need a handicap mark.
16th	15 16th (15) (100/1 +0%) Albatala	100 100/1(+0%)	(15) Albatala 100/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Sixth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 8/1). Will need to improve for the switch to hurdles if she's to emerge on top. Placed on the Flat off a modest handicap mark, this looks demanding for hurdling debut.
17th	7 17th (7) (250/1 -25%) Helicon	250 250/1(-25%)	(7) Helicon 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 250/1, fifteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on hurdles bow 14 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Well held in three bumpers, down the field on recent hurdling debut, tongue-tie on now.
18th	20 18th (20) (250/1 -25%) Stellar Jury	250 250/1(-25%)	(20) Stellar Jury 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 12 in bumper at Naas (18.5f, soft) 63 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Poor bumper form, can be safely left out of calculations.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (66/1 +0%) Real Lord	66 66/1(+0%)	(13) Real Lord 66/1, £24,000 3-y-o, Lord of England gelding. Closely related to 2 winners on Flat and half-brother to French 17f hurdle/chase winner Coudree. Dam 9f winner. German-bred gelding with a decent pedigree, will probably need to acquire experience.

It is probably best to put a line through the latest run by RATH GAUL BOY as he had a number of issues on veterinary examination post-race after being pulled up at Leopardstown earlier this month. The point-to-point and bumper winner previously beat all bar Enfranchise in a maiden hurdle at the Galway Festival and hopefully can put that latest disappointment behind him. Omniscient won twice on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott to earn a rating in the mid 90s and is an interesting hurdle recruit for Gordon Elliott, while point-to-point winner Cobra Queen has shown some promise over hurdles including behind Jade De Grugy at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.

The fact that RATH GAUL BOY is turned out again 27 days after what was ultimately a disappointing reappearance display at Leopardstown suggests that all is well, and he will prove a tough nut to crack if able to put that run behind him and build on his very promising hurdles debut second at Galway last summer. Four-time Flat winner En Or rates the main danger, though Omniscient, who scored twice on the level in 2022, will also be a threat if his jumping passes the test.

More than one possible explanation emerged after RATH GAUL BOY flopped at Leopardstown and he can probably make amends here

13:25 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 11f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (11/2 +15%) Steps In The Sand	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(10) Steps In The Sand 11/2, 10/1, creditable 1¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Defence Treaty in handicap at this course (12.1f) 5 days ago, left poorly placed. Threatening to come good. 1-26 but ran on from the rear when fifth of 14 here (1m4f) five days ago; each-way player.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/1 +8%) The Bay Warrior	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) The Bay Warrior 11/1, Latest win at Kempton in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (12f) 46 days ago. Others more persuasive. Multiple Polytrack winner who's had four seconds on Wolverhampton Tapeta.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +0%) Destinado	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Destinado 10/3, Has thrived since joining his current yard, scoring for the first time on turf in 11-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 4/1) 8 days ago, well on top finish under this rider. Up 7 lb but jockey claims 5 lb now and this C&D scorer can feature again. Four AW wins (two here) for new yard this year; also Doncaster (1m2f, soft) eight days ago.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 -29%) Defence Treaty	9 9/1(-29%)	(12) Defence Treaty 9/1, 28/1, won 14-runner handicap at this course (12.1f) 5 days ago, just about making the most of an uncontested lead. Now 3 lb lower with rider's claim but he's not an obvious one to follow up. Made most to score by a nose off this mark here five days ago; solid sequence this year.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 -27%) Hashtagmetoo	14 14/1(-27%)	(2) Hashtagmetoo 14/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 71 days ago, faring best of those held up. More needed to prevail off current mark. Each-way claims on Wolverhampton record but has a little more to prove at Southwell.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/2 +25%) Optik	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) Optik 9/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Respectable second of 8 in handicap (2/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. 4 lb rise has kicked in now. Four AW wins this year and creditable second over C&D (sole run here) on latest outing.
7th	13 7th (13) (33/1 -106%) Hot Team	33 33/1(-106%)	(13) Hot Team 33/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, good second of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago. This is tougher. Beaten a head in a classified at Newcastle nine days ago but this is a stronger race.
8th	14 8th (14) (50/1 +0%) Princess Nieve	50 50/1(+0%)	(14) Princess Nieve 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 125/1) 28 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Visor back on. Not easy to make a case for. Won in January 2023; not much to shout about from last April onwards.
9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 -25%) Bay Of Naples	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Bay Of Naples 20/1, C&D winner. Respectable 3¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Defence Treaty in handicap at this course (12.1f, 12/1) 5 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time (replacing cheekpieces). Latest start wasn't too bad and he now has a switch from recent cheekpieces to blinkers.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 -100%) Toscan Genius	16 16/1(-100%)	(11) Toscan Genius 16/1, Modest on the all weather, respectable on last Flat outing. Off 136 days. Could take a hand if ready to go. Off since a hurdles fop in November but peak form (Newcastle 1m4f win) gives her a shout.
11th	9 11th (9) (40/1 -60%) Oceana Orange	40 40/1(-60%)	(9) Oceana Orange 40/1, 200/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at this course (7.1f) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and plenty of improvement needed. No persuasive claims but she moves back up in trip (markedly) on this handicap debut.
12th	3 12th (3) (10/1 -54%) Mickey Mongoose	10 10/1(-54%)	(3) Mickey Mongoose 10/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (8.1f, 66/1) 26 days ago. Stamina to prove raised 6 lb. 66-1 here 26 days ago but surged back to form with a clearcut win, albeit over 1m.
13th	8 13th (8) (11/1 +8%) Very Classy	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Very Classy 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago, having run of race. Must improve. Front-running 3rd of eight at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) early this month on handicap debut.
14th	5 14th (5) (11/1 +8%) Loom Large	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Loom Large 11/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 12/1) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Can make presence felt. Big step back in the right direction last time; has not convinced for stamina beyond 1m2f.

Raised 7lb for a comfortable victory on the turf at Doncaster last week, DESTINADO is turned out again quickly over a track and trip where he was successful just last month. The six-year-old could have more improvement to come and he is narrowly preferred to recent C&D runner-up Optik and Mickey Mongoose, who must prove himself over this trip having sprung a surprise over a mile here last time out. Others to note include Defence Treaty, Hashtagmetoo and Loom Large.

STEPS IN THE SAND shaped well here on Tuesday and could come good now. Doncaster-winner Destinado and Loom Large are a couple of the other likely players.

There's a competitive look to this race but, going from strength to strength for his new trainer this year, DESTINADO may score again.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (6/1 -50%) Patriotik	6 6/1(-50%)	(5) Patriotik 6/1, Won a 2-finisher point in Ireland. Second of 4 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (2½m, soft) on Rules debut 44 days ago. Should have more to offer. Wide-margin point winner; second of four on last month's hurdle debut; more needed here.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/4 +17%) Tommys Charm	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(2) Tommys Charm 5/4, Runner-up sole start in Irish points in October and went one better in 7-runner Chepstow maiden hurdle (19.5f, heavy) on last month's hurdle debut for a new stable. Can be expected to improve. Asserted on run-in to make winning rules debut at Chepstow last month; obvious contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (13/8 -9%) Tactical Affair	1.625 13/8(-9%)	(1) Tactical Affair 13/8, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Solid start for new yard when second over 2m at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Should stay the longer trip. Leading claims. Won at Cork in November and was clear second on recent stable debut; new trip; big player.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -65%) Mount Washington	33 33/1(-65%)	(4) Mount Washington 33/1, Showed a fair level of ability when third on first of 2 runs in bumpers but never dangerous when fifth of 10 on Fontwell hurdle debut 13 days ago. Needs to leave that form behind. Third in course bumper in November but made underwhelming hurdle debut this month.
5th	3 5th (3) (150/1 -50%) League Clash	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) League Clash 150/1, Third sole start in Irish points but showed nothing on recent Hereford hurdle debut. Struggled to get competitive when 200-1 for recent Hereford maiden hurdle.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (12/1 -33%) Privilege	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Privilege 12/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Peter Fahey. Looks vulnerable unless a change of stable sparks improvement. Became disappointing in Ireland; bought for £2,500 in January; revival needed for new yard.

TACTICAL AFFAIR sets a useful standard with an official rating of 124, and Warren Greatrex's five-year-old is the one to beat if building on his recent stable debut, when runner-up at Warwick. Tommys Charm can only improve having won on his Rules bow at Chepstow and he is the main danger, although Patriotik bumped into an improver at Fakenham last time and must not be underestimated.

This might develop into a straight fight between previous hurdle winners TACTICAL AFFAIR and Tommys Charm, with a narrow preference for the former now stepping up to 2½m for the first time.

Preference is for TOMMYS CHARM, who was not fully extended when when winning at Chepstow on last month's rules debut.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (2/7 +0%) Sir Gerhard	0.285714 2/7(+0%)	(1) Sir Gerhard 2/7, Leading novice hurdler of 2021/22 campaign and a smart novice chaser last term. Landed the odds back hurdling at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and stiff task in the Stayers' Hurdle 17 days ago. Hard to oppose back at 2m. Failed to stay 3m in the Stayers' Hurdle last time but this looks a good opportunity.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 -25%) Sempo	20 20/1(-25%)	(5) Sempo 20/1, Useful chaser. Off over 2 years. Significantly down in trip. Suspect he'll need this. Ran a cracker in the 2021 Irish Grand National; best watched returning from a huge absence.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +0%) Call Me Lyreen	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Call Me Lyreen 5/1, Useful hurdler. Six wins from 23 NH runs. 50/1, ninth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 56 days ago. Good chance on these terms on best form. Ran a fine race at Leopardstown last time when hampered and looks the main danger to fav'.
4	6 4th (6) (100/1 +0%) Varna Gold	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Varna Gold 100/1, Fair hurdler. Ran badly in handicap at Tipperary in early-2022/23. Off 21 months. Impossible to fancy. Rated only 105; can't be fancied on these terms returning from a long absence.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (14/1 +0%) Maidenstreetprince	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Maidenstreetprince 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Off 10 months, 20/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) on return 154 days ago. Not seen again since but could be capable of better. Well below best at Galway after an absence and best watched returning after another break.

SIR GERHARD looks the one they all have to beat. The three-time Grade 1 winner landed both the Weatherbys Champion Bumper and the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and, after some disappointments over fences, successfully reverted to hurdles at Punchestown this winter. He appeared not to get the trip last time in the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham and is well treated here at the weights. Call Me Lyreen won a valuable handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival back in 2022 but has been soundly beaten both over hurdles and fences in the past year. Sempo was fifth behind Freewheelin Dylan in the Irish Grand National but now reappears after nearly three years on the sidelines, while Doyen Ta Win likes to force the pace and has won three handicaps at a low level.

The classy SIR GERHARD sets a clear standard back down markedly in trip and is hard to get away from. Call Me Lyreen is the danger.

Though SIR GERHARD was poor last time at Cheltenham in the Stayers' Hurdle, he can't be opposed down in trip in this company.

1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +13%) King William Rufus	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) King William Rufus 7/2, Showed plenty when placed all 3 bumper outings last season. Took a step forward over hurdles when runner-up in Newbury maiden in December, but hasn't built on that in 2 handicaps since. However, he enters calculations back in maiden company. Below par last time but strong contender at this level on his previous efforts.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/4 -29%) Beny Nahar Road	2.25 9/4(-29%)	(1) Beny Nahar Road 9/4, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and runner-up on first 2 starts over hurdles. In first-time hood/tongue strap, snatched up approaching home turn when sixth of 9 in handicap at Taunton last time. Could yet do better in this sphere, though he could do with settling better. Has run okay in novices won by good horses and certainly has the form to win this.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/4 +25%) Fourtowns	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(3) Fourtowns 6/4, Progressive in bumpers for Stuart Crawford and encouraging yard/hurdles debut display when fourth of 13 in novice at Newbury in February. Ran to a similar level when third at Ludlow 19 days later and he could be ready to get off the mark. Not far away in novices at Newbury and Ludlow; drier ground today could help him.
4	8 4th (8) (66/1 +0%) St Just In Time	66 66/1(+0%)	(8) St Just In Time 66/1, Fair maiden on the level but ran to just a poor level when down the field in juvenile at Ludlow on his hurdling bow last month. Looks to be up against it. Didn't really progress on the Flat and finished well behind on hurdling debut at Ludlow.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (8/1 -60%) Secret Sauce	8 8/1(-60%)	(7) Secret Sauce 8/1, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in Hereford novice in January, faring best of those held up. Not discredited when mid-field in maiden at Huntingdon next time and now makes first run for yard after leaving Anthony Charlton. Best run when second at Hereford but he'll need to better that effort here.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (50/1 -52%) The Orchard Boy	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) The Orchard Boy 50/1, Ocovango gelding. Dam placed in points, half-sister to fairly useful but ungenuine hurdler/chaser (2¼m-3½m winner) Present To You. Last of 7 finishers on sole outing in points in February. Difficult ask. Beaten 15l into seventh in a 2m4f good-ground British point two months ago.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 +0%) Dancing Master	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Dancing Master 100/1, Poor handicapper on the Flat in Jersey and hasn't offered much in 4 outings for his current yard, tailed off on his second start over hurdles before making little impact back on the level. Best watched. Limited Flat performer who showed nothing in two hurdles this year; no appeal.
6	6 \|RO\| (6) (18/1 -80%) Night Stalker	18 18/1(-80%)	(6) Night Stalker 18/1, Showed ability when third at Ludlow on bumper debut but hasn't progressed in a pair of outings in that sphere since. Others make greater appeal switched to hurdling. Backward step in his final bumper, which reduces his appeal on hurdling debut.

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

BENY NAHAR ROAD has previously fared well against stronger calibre opponents than he faces here and is readily suggested as the one to be with now returning to maiden company. Fourtowns has shown some ability in two previous starts over hurdles and can ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way if he continues to flourish. Night Stalker and Dancing Master complete the shortlist.

Having improved with each run in bumpers, FOURTOWNS has made a promising start over hurdles for his current yard and he can build on those efforts to open his account. Beny Nahar Road wasn't seen to best effect last time and the Paul Nicholls-trained 5-y-o could be the main danger, with King William Rufus completing the shortlist.

Three stand out and preference is for FOURTOWNS, who has run well in both his hurdles despite racing freely.

Has been keeping ahead of the handicapper but 11lb rise for latest win could anchor him.

5th	16 5th (16) (11/1 -22%) Chosen Diamond	11 11/1(-22%)	(16) Chosen Diamond 11/1, Chase winner at Naas in November. 4/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Limerick (17.5f, heavy) 21 days ago, ridden when jumping left 3 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Below-par chase effort latest but big player on previous hurdles form at this trip.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 -29%) Joyeux Vivo	9 9/1(-29%)	(10) Joyeux Vivo 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 11/2, very good second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, soft) 76 days ago, running on. Back up in trip and he has to enter calculations. Punchestown second should appreciate return to 2m4f and handles ground.
7th	14 7th (14) (7/1 -17%) Pacini	7 7/1(-17%)	(14) Pacini 7/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Course winner. Up in trip and blinkers on 1st time for this handicap hurdle debut. Couldn't rule out. Sole 4yo in the field, could go well if seeing out this longer trip.
8th	15 8th (15) (33/1 -65%) Shraheen	33 33/1(-65%)	(15) Shraheen 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Good fourth of 21 in novice hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy, 80/1) 21 days ago.

Can make presence felt. Solid form here over further; tame recent Punchestown effort at this trip raises questions.
10th	11 10th (11) (11/1 -22%) Secrecies Of Stone	11 11/1(-22%)	(11) Secrecies Of Stone 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 15 in novice hurdle (5/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 94 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap hurdle debut. Solid runs in all three maidens over various trips so one to consider.
11th	4 11th (4) (12/1 +0%) Banprionsa	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Banprionsa 12/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Successful at Tramore in November. Makes handicap hurdle debut and needs to raise her game. Lost action latest; bit to find on maiden form but remains unexposed.

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve. Return to 2m4f sure to suit and potential improver entering handicap company.
13th	12 13th (12) (16/1 -45%) Explosive Boy	16 16/1(-45%)	(12) Explosive Boy 16/1, Running well when falling 2 out in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, soft, 13/8) when last seen in December 2022 (was going better than winner at the time of his departure). Resumes on a 2 lb lower mark but 16-month absence is naturally a concern. Absent 15 months and ground concerns.
14th	8 14th (8) (33/1 -32%) Ceroc	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Ceroc 33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in May. Fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft, 15/2). Off 7 months. Cheekpieces back on. Long absent and probably wants better ground.
15th	13 15th (13) (12/1 -9%) Our Boy Rocky	12 12/1(-9%)	(13) Our Boy Rocky 12/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Won 14-runner novice hurdle (2/1) at Thurles (19.8f, soft) 47 days ago, kept up to work. Likely there's more to come now that he ventures down the handicap route. Didn't beat much at Thurles but likely more to offer; could play a role on handicap bow.
16th	7 16th (7) (12/1 -33%) Silver King	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Silver King 12/1, Winner at Punchestown in January. 17/2, creditable second of 6 in novice hurdle at that course (20f, heavy) 62 days ago. Place possibilities. Likes these conditions and recent Punchestown form at this trip gives him definite chance.

A 30lb rise in the ratings for three narrow handicap wins may seem excessive but BUACHAILLBOCHT has a canny knack for not winning too far and certainly idled in front before winning with a bit in hand at Punchestown last month. Mark Walsh should be able to produce him a bit later here and the main threat could be posed by another JP McManus-owned gelding in Joyeux Vivo. He showed promise in maidens and kept on well over two miles when runner-up to the progressive Morricone on handicap debut at Punchestown. Lucky Lyreen won't lack for stamina having beaten Kinturk Kalanisi (won since) in a three-mile maiden at Punchestown last time while Silver King and Pax are others to consider.

The finish may well be dominated by JP McManus-owned representatives, with handicap debutant PAX taken to strike. He shaped as though getting the hang of things when fourth in a big-field Punchestown maiden last month and this step back up in trip looks a good move. It's no great surprise that the owner's retained jockey, Mark Walsh, sides with the progressive Buachaillbocht and, despite going up 11 lb for his latest success, he is a big danger. Joyeux Vivo is third choice.

Wide open and slight preference for SILVER KING, who comes here in good form at this trip and on similar ground

LTO Selection:hiden content,

Owners Amo Racing could not have made a better start to the season, having landed the Lincoln last week, and they might have a promising two-year-old on their hands in the shape of VIOLET LOVE. Her sire Havana Grey is developing into an excellent stallion and the George Boughey-trained filly should have plenty of pace to see off fellow newcomer Deal Maker, who is a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Salute The Soldier. Awj and Far Above Mary must also be noted for any market support.

FAR ABOVE MARY, Awj and Deal Maker are the three against the field before the all-important market clues. Chalena didn't offer much on debut here on Tuesday and needs a marked step forward.

Chalena sets a modest standard. AWJ and Violet Love are particularly interesting types among the debutantes.

BOLSOVER BILL has been a revelation since joining the Harry Derham stable and the form of his penultimate success at Exeter has worked out particularly well in the interim. The seven-year-old seems more than ready to step back up to three miles and he gets the vote ahead of Everything'sontick, who was a slightly fortuitous winner at Plumpton last month. Ladronne is another who must hold strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his victory at Doncaster earlier in the month.

The form of BOLLSOVER BILL's Exeter wins in January have been boosted several times and he was in with a shout when unseating 3 out at Uttoxeter since. He's taken to show he's still on a good mark, most likely at the main expense of November's C&D scorer Post Chaise.

In an open-looking race POST CHAISE is taken to repeat his C&D win of earlier in the season with Ladronne second choice.

Not the strongest of contests, in which a chance can be taken on chasing debutant SHIROCCOSMAGICBABY. Christian Williams' seven-year-old, a previous point-to-point winner, took a few backwards steps after making a promising hurdles debut. However, she will appreciate the switch to fences and it would come as no surprise were she to move forward now fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. Dancing Dani arrives having posted two solid efforts over 2m and must enter the reckoning, while Santa Clarita appeals most of the remainder.

FASHION'S MODEL has shown enough on her last 2 outings to think she has a race in her from this sort of mark so she gets the nod, although a strong market move for Christian Williams chase newcomer Shiroccosmagicbaby

This looks good for FASHION'S MODEL (nap), who was a commendable fourth on unfavourable terms in a recent novice chase.

CAST A SPELL won a bumper at Southwell last summer for Gary Moore and appeared to show much improved form over hurdles when fourth to Birdie Or Bust in a Listed mares novice at Thurles just before Christmas. A reproduction of that latest effort would leave her hard to beat although this testing ground is a concern. Jokers 'n' Clowns won a point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm but weakened on the run-in when runner-up to Queen Nel in a Gowran maiden hurdle on very heavy ground earlier this month. Lep Around is another point-to-point winner to consider having also filled the runner-up spot both in a bumper and over hurdles, while Smiling Bess and Royal Cave are others to note.

SMILING BESS shaped well when runner-up on her recent hurdling bow at Navan and looks the way to go here with improvement very much on the cards. Cast A Spell and Jokers 'N' Clowns both have the form to have a say and can chase home Kevin Prendergast's daughter of Mount Nelson in that order.

This may got to JOKERS 'N' CLOWNS who was far more convincing at Gowran last time and looks to have more to offer

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +0%) Kansas City Star	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Kansas City Star 4/1, Off the mark at the first time of asking for Harry Derham in 2m handicap chase at Huntingdon on his debut over fences but he came in last of 5 at Newbury (2m) 30 days ago. Worth another chance. Successful stable debut before a lesser show at Newbury; new headgear now tried.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 -25%) Alto Alto	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(5) Alto Alto 5/2, Rejuvenated by cheekpieces and a tongue strap when bagging 2m handicap chases over C&D this winter. Expected to be bang there despite being raised another 4 lb. Rallied gamely to fend off a subsequent winner over C&D latest; 4lb rise very fair.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -25%) Hystery Bere	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Hystery Bere 5/1, Fairly useful hurdles scorer who made a winning start in this sphere in 4-runner handicap at Warwick last May. Pulled up in Newbury handicap chase before coming in last of 6 on the Flat at Lingfield last 2 starts though. Has a bit to prove. Pulled up in his final chase and then last on the AW; blinkers are now turned to.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -14%) Voice Of Calm	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Voice Of Calm 8/1, Triple hurdle winner who also scored over fences at Leicester (match race) last February. Posted a solid third of 8 in handicap chase at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft) 139 days ago. Possibilities. Below par the last twice and has been off since November; drop in trip a further worry.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +0%) You Say Nothing	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) You Say Nothing 14/1, Scored at Ffos Las (2m) last May but he has twice failed to back up a good Chepstow second over Christmas since. Needs to bounce back. Capable on his day but inconsistent and has performed poorly the last twice.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/2 -5%) Vicki Vale	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(4) Vicki Vale 7/2, Signed off last term by winning a mares' novice hurdle at Taunton and has acquitted herself well in handicap company this season. Of strong interest now switched to fences. May want further but a consistent hurdler who commands respect on this switch to fences.

The hat-trick chasing ALTO ALTO appeals strongly based on a couple of hard-fought successes registered at this course and, having adapted well since being tried with the cheekpieces and tongue-tie combination, the seven-year-old gets the vote once again. Vicki Vale is feared on her chasing bow, while Kansas City Star is capable of a decent showing, especially with a first-time tongue-tie applied.

ALTO ALTO has taken his form up a level since fitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap and can complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of Dan Skelton's chasing-debutante Vicki Vale. Voice of Calm and Kansas City Star need factoring in too if at their best.

Chris Gordon's ALTO ALTO is always a force to be reckoned with around here and he beat a subsequent winner on his latest visit.

Willie Mullins is mob-handed here with ten runners and perhaps FUN FUN FUN can come out on top. The daughter of Martaline won twice in bumpers last term including a Grade 2 at Leopardstown and is unlucky not to be unbeaten in four hurdle starts this term. She easily landed a Grade 3 at Naas last time and just gets the nod over stablemate Jade De Grugy who is the choice of Paul Townend. She also won a Grade 3 in good style at this venue and ran with plenty of credit when fourth under a 5lb penalty in the mares' novice hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Jetara was pulled up in this race last year but has progressed well this term winning three times including when readily beating Pink In The Park over this trip at Leopardstown while the prolific Springtime Promise is a welcome UK challenger.

Ten of the 18 set to go to post represent the Willie Mullins yard and CUTA DES AS could be the pick of them, for all that she's not the pick of Paul Townend. Cuta Des As achieved a pretty strong level of form in bumpers last season and her hurdles debut success at Punchestown was pretty much faultless. Townend opts to ride Jade de Grugy, who landed a Grade 3 here in January before running well at the Cheltenham Festival. Jetara and Fun Fun Fun are others to consider.

Willie Mullins throws the kitchen sink at this and JADE DE GRUGY is probably the right one despite a below-best Cheltenham run

Ran at least as well when second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 8/15) 8 days ago, headed dying strides. Leading contender. Has form figures of 112 since switched to AW; went very close on latest occasion.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -100%) Moonstone Boy	6 6/1(-100%)	(3) Moonstone Boy 6/1, Having bumped into a few promising types, found extra to deservedly get off the mark in 5-runner minor event at this C&D (evens) 26 days ago. Can make his presence felt as he goes handicapping. Off the mark in C&D novice event this month, gaining reward for his consistency.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +11%) Ashwiyaa	4 4/1(+11%)	(1) Ashwiyaa 4/1, Opened account at Down Royal in September and good 3¾ lengths third of 10 to Pipsy in listed race at Dundalk (5f, 16/1) next time. Interesting contender as she makes handicap debut on first start since leaving M. D. O'Callaghan. Ran well in Listed grade on final start in Ireland; interesting back down in class.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +17%) Boann	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Boann 5/1, C&D winner who resumed her progress when doubling her tally in 12-runner nursery at Kempton (6f, 33/1) in November, digging deep. Will need to find more again on her return. Has a record of 2-3 on AW and may have more to offer; C&D winner; possibilities.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/1 -38%) Hint Of The Jungle	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) Hint Of The Jungle 11/1, Won at Beverley and Wolverhampton last year, but ended the campaign with a lesser effort when sixth of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW, 10/1) in September. However, he's not discounted after 6 months off (has been gelded). Came up short on final 2yo start but may fare better today, with Rossa Ryan booked.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 +10%) Mini Magna	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Mini Magna 9/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year when trained by Ed Dunlop. Stepped up on reappearance when 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Ziggy's Missile in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 19 days ago. Can give another good account. Good effort behind Ziggy's Missile over C&D this month on second run for new yard.

It is difficult to look past ZIGGY'S MISSILE, who is slightly unlucky not to be arriving on a four-timer, having been denied late at Newcastle recently. A taking winner over C&D on his penultimate start, the son of Blue Point has the services of Silvestre De Sousa to call upon this time around and he can get the better of Ashwiyaa, who is very interesting on her first start for new connections. Successful over C&D himself earlier in the month, Moonstone Boy must also enter calculations on his handicap debut.

ZIGGY'S MISSILE has been going the right way this year, winning in good style over C&D before only narrowly denied at Newcastle 8 days ago, so he is taken to resume winning ways back at this venue. Moonstone Boy gained a first success here on his latest outing and is feared most on his handicap debut, ahead of Ashwiyaa.

Of the runners who have the benefit of recent match practice, ZIGGY'S MISSILE and Moonstone Boy are particularly solid.

Showed a bit tried hurdling after 6 months off when a well-held third of 14 at Hereford 6 weeks ago but she'll need to leave that bare form behind to go close here. Fair form at up to 1m4f on the Flat; pulled hard when third on hurdles debut; may improve.

7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -78%) Touch Of A Dragon	16 16/1(-78%)	(9) Touch Of A Dragon 16/1, Best effort over hurdles when third in 17f mares' maiden at Newcastle (heavy) last month but the form is only modest. Improved on hurdle debut when third at Newcastle last time; one worth considering.
8th	1 8th (1) (100/1 +0%) Chantilly Dragon	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Chantilly Dragon 100/1, Offered something to work on when third in bumper at Sedgefield in November but well held in another Sedgefield bumper and a Catterick novice hurdle since.

First-time cheekpieces need to transform her. Won a French claimer on the Flat in 2023; pulled up on both hurdles runs; plenty to prove.
10th	5 10th (5) (40/1 -100%) Macmolly	40 40/1(-100%)	(5) Macmolly 40/1, Showed more than on debut tongue tied when sixth of 8 in a bumper (28/1) at Wetherby (2m, heavy) 123 days ago, though would've been beaten further in a more truly-run race. Others preferred making hurdling debut. Better effort in bumpers when sixth last time; improvement needed on hurdles debut.

The vote goes to PITWOOD ROAD, who couldn't justify odds-on favouritism for her hurdles bow at Bangor but ran well in second nonetheless. With improvement expected, the six-year-old can get off the mark with recent Huntingdon second Locken Lady looking best placed to chase her home. Fashionelle, who has not been in action since a promising runner-up effort in a Fontwell bumper last April, is also respected.

In a race where those with hurdle experience don't set the bar that high, a chance is taken on IRISH LULLABY, who has some useful form to her name on the Flat in Ireland. Bangor runner-up Pitwood Road looks best of the remainder.

The vote goes to Irish point winner LOCKEN LADY who shaped with plenty of promise on her hurdles debut at Huntingdon last month.

Returned to hurdling, unable to sustain effort when third of 5 in handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) last time. More needed but she could yet do better at this trip. A maiden after six starts but last month's handicap hurdle debut was respectable.

Looked sure to be involved when brought down 3 out at this course (15.8f, heavy) in February, so he could be ready to get off the mark. Twice ran well on heavy ground in December and was unlucky to be brought down last month.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -17%) Mac's Legacy	7 7/1(-17%)	(3) Mac's Legacy 7/1, Much improved when second on his handicap debut at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) in January. However, he wasn't able to build on that when mid-field at the same course (21.7f, soft) next time. Needs to resume his progress with blinkers applied. Creditable second on handicap debut (good ground); not in same form on soft ground since.

Not taken lightly. Dual 2m3f winner on heavy ground this year and further progress is possible.

Has only run twice since, though, sixth of 9 at Hereford almost a year ago. Reverts to hurdling on his return. Safely held in a chase on latest start one year ago; would appeal much more on good ground.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 -23%) Ballyvaughan Bay	8 8/1(-23%)	(2) Ballyvaughan Bay 8/1, Fared better than previously when third behind a couple of useful prospects in maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) last month. Enters calculations as he makes his handicap debut. Placed in two maidens during the winter but this month's handicap debut was disappointing.

Things seem to have clicked into place for Mumbles, who arrives having won two of his last three starts. The latest of those, a comfortable 2m3f success at Fontwell, would suggest he has more than enough to defy a subsequent 4lb rise. That said, a chance is still taken on SMART CASUAL, who was going easily when brought down three from home over 2m here. The six-year-old can put that behind him and shed his maiden tag. Ballyvaughan Bay is also noted.

SMART CASUAL has been shaping up well in handicaps this season, looking sure to play a hand in the finish when departing at this course on his latest outing, and he could still have more to offer upped in trip. He is taken to see off the challenge of Mumbles, who has been progressing well during the current campaign, with Ballyvaughan Bay also considered.

There might still be more to come from SMART CASUAL, who was knocking on the door towards the end of last year.

NOW IS THE HOUR fell when holding a clear lead two out in a 2m3f Limerick maiden hurdle at Christmas but has made amends winning both outings since including an impressive success in a Grade 2 novice hurdle over three miles at Haydock. This drop back in trip may not be ideal switching to fences but on the plus side he handles heavy ground really well and showed smart form in point-to-points. An Epic Song was probably the pick of these over hurdles having been just touched off by Langer Dan in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival last year but he's been lightly raced since and jumped left when well beaten on his debut over fences at Punchestown. Fortunedefortunata and point-to-point winner Extrapolation have both won three times under Rules and merit respect.

NOW IS THE HOUR is a useful hurdler who stays much further but he promises to do even better over fences and this looks a good opening. Fortunedefortunata could be the danger.

The selection is NOW IS THE HOUR, coming here as the in-form horse after his impressive win at Haydock but he is effective over shorter

Should have more to offer now upped in trip for this handicap debut and good claims. Has bumped into good horses in his maidens and he's raised in trip for handicap debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 -45%) A Tickatickatiming	8 8/1(-45%)	(6) A Tickatickatiming 8/1, Fair bumper winner and matched that level over hurdles when holding on gamely for success in 2m mares' maiden here in November. Will need to find more again as she goes handicapping up in trip 5 months on. Both wins have been here; quite interesting up in trip on handicap debut.

Work to do now handicapping up in trip. Could have run better last time at Exeter and others appeal more on this handicap debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 +13%) Defi Nonantais	14 14/1(+13%)	(7) Defi Nonantais 14/1, Steady improvement in 3 novice hurdles but only a respectable effort without finding the necessary progress on his handicap bow at Wincanton (21.4f, heavy) last month. Tongue tie/cheekpieces on after wind op now and work to do. Made a noise when third on handicap debut; had wind op and headgear tried.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -56%) Birdman Bob	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Birdman Bob 25/1, A regular here, winning 2m novice handicap hurdle in November and good efforts when completing since under this rider. Poor run over fences fitted with cheekpieces at Exeter on Monday and this looks tough. On a tough mark but has each-way claims back hurdling on a track he runs well.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (5/1 +38%) Tregele	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Tregele 5/1, Looked on a tempting mark on his efforts in 2m novice/maiden hurdles but proved a bit disappointing on his handicap debut over this trip at Huntingdon 10 weeks ago. Remains unexposed at least. There's a suspicion that he's better than he showed on handicap debut latest.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (5/1 -11%) Two To Tango	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Two To Tango 5/1, Fair form in bumpers and again in a couple of races over hurdles this season, well positioned but lacking a turn of foot over the shorter trip (2m) when second at Newbury 7 weeks ago. Can do better now going handicapping over this stiffer test. Placed in both hurdles and should pay his way in handicaps over this sort of trip.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (7/1 -8%) Impact Du Bonheur	7 7/1(-8%)	(8) Impact Du Bonheur 7/1, Bought for €90,000 after winning the third of 3 bumper starts in France. Some promise over hurdles initially for new yard but has been well beaten in 2 handicaps, including fitted with cheekpieces at Musselburgh 8 weeks ago. Bit to prove all of a sudden. Four defeats for this yard include two handicaps; today's drier conditions may assist.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (25/1 -25%) Ca Plane Pour Moi	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Ca Plane Pour Moi 25/1, Had been shaping up quite well for Colm Murphy, but was notably weak in the market fitted with a hood by a new yard at Taunton 3 weeks ago and ran no sort of race. Back up in trip and might need his mark to drop a little further. Ability in Ireland; quiet stable debut in a Taunton handicap; hood tried there is removed.

A TICKATICKATIMING goes well at this venue and, having shown tenacity to land a mares' maiden here when last seen, the six-year-old is a striking option here. Having gone well fresh in the past, the selection debuts in a handicap off a very workable mark and, with her course experience to draw upon, everything looks in place for a big run. All Authorized is effective at this level and is feared most, although support in the betting for Two To Tango would also be tempting.

SEA INVASION ran well in a valuable 2m maiden hurdle at the King George meeting on Boxing Day and promises to do better again now handicapping up in trip. He gets the vote over Two To Tango and All Authorized.

This has an open look to it. SEA INVASION is interesting over this longer trip for a trainer recognised in the race title.

Fifth of 6 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (20f, heavy, 4/1) 62 days ago. Handicap winner over this trip, official rating not high enough to imply a strong chance.

Up in trip and he's high on the shortlist. Down the field behind No Flies On Him on Irish debut, won readily at Punchestown.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (4/1 +0%) Dee Capo	4 4/1(+0%)	(6) Dee Capo 4/1, Promising sort. 3 wins from 5 runs this season. 3/1, career best when winning 6-runner minor event hurdle at Leopardstown (18.3f, soft) 28 days ago, cosily. Enters calculations. Did well to beat the very experienced Ashdale Bob at Leopardstown, could be a factor again.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (15/2 -50%) Rushmount	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(11) Rushmount 15/2, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Won 6-runner novice hurdle at Thurles (23.6f, soft, 10/11) 38 days ago, readily. Likely to improve. Left an impression he could go on to better things when winning a maiden at Thurles.

Makes hurdles debut. Back up in trip. Promising bumper winner but his lack of jumping experience could make things difficult.

DEE CAPO won a bumper and maiden hurdle at Galway and Cork respectively last autumn and appeared to benefit from a winter break when successfully reappearing at Leopardstown earlier this month. The selection got on top on the run-in when beating Ashdale Bob and should appreciate this extra two furlongs. No Flies On Him won a 28-runner maiden at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting but was weak in the market when soundly beaten subsequently by Tullyhill at Punchestown. The Edward O'Grady-trained gelding has scope for further improvement while others to consider include easy Punchestown maiden winner Anotherway, Rushmount and Mossy Fen Park.

The value angle here could be OSCARS BROTHER, who chased home a useful type on his hurdles debut prior to going one better in some style at Limerick three weeks ago. No Flies on Him landed a 26-runner Leopardstown maiden on his hurdles debut and subsequently found only Tullyhill too strong in a listed event at Punchestown. The winner rather let the form down when well held at the Cheltenham Festival but No Flies On Him is very promising and is second choice ahead of Dee Capo and Anotherway.

There could be further improvement to come from DEE CAPO who beat a seasoned campaigner at Leopardstown last time

Cases can be made for all of these but marginal preference is for ACROSS EARTH, with Marco Botti's top-weight showing ability in all three of his novice/maiden starts. An opening mark of 75 should be workable for the Golden Horn colt and he gets the vote ahead of King's School, who has a similar profile to the selection and may improve having been gelded since his latest outing. Free Speech edges out Attila The Honey to be best of the rest.

KING'S SCHOOL showed ability through the winter and, now upped in trip after a gelding operation, he's expected to improve enough to defy a feasible opening mark. Across Earth ran well last time and looks an obvious danger, while Free Speech shouldn't be far away if she's ready to go.

The pick is ACROSS EARTH, who kept on well for second at Kempton this month and might have a fitness edge over a couple of the others.

Off mark in points at second attempt (Dec 2023). Wears tongue tie. Not overfaced on debut and worth a look. Won a point bumper in 2023; related to jump winners; interesting on hurdles/stable debut.

Should improve and can go well in a thin maiden. Runner-up in three bumpers and on hurdles debut over 2m3f at Doncaster; each-way chance.

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

DIAMOND KODA didn't do himself any favours with some errant jumping on his debut in this sphere at Doncaster, but he kept on for a distant second and that form sets the standard in this moderate maiden. Nick Kent's charge may have enough to see off Pyffo and newcomer Teetotaller, who is bound to want further in time being a brother to Badger Beer winner Blackjack Magic.

TARAS HALLS's two seconds over this trip in novice/maiden hurdles read well and this looks a good opportunity having contested the EBF Novices' Handicap Final at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Diamond Koda made a good start in this sphere at Doncaster and should go well. Teetotaller is an interesting newcomer.

This can go to TARAS HALLS who has some solid form over hurdles to his credit. Pyffo and Diamond Koda should also go well.

STELLAR STREAM remains unexposed at marathon trips and he clearly benefitted from the application of cheekpieces when running out a game winner over an extended 3m5f at Bangor. Nudged up 4lb, with forecast underfoot conditions to suit, he can make a bold bid to bring up the double. The hat-trick seeking Art Decco heads the dangers, but a 7lb rise for his Taunton victory will make life tougher in this slightly warmer affair. The form of Pimlico Point's Exeter success has been franked and, tackling 3m4f for the first time, he completes the shortlist off 3lb higher.

ART DECCO hasn't looked back since fitted with cheekpieces so is fancied to defy a 7lb weights rise and complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of Exeter-scorer Pimlico Point. Well Dick, who arrives on the back of a recent success at Warwick, and dual winner of this Amateur can't be ruled out either in a very open contest.

Low-mileage 7yo PIMLICO POINT opened his chasing account with a 3m win on heavy ground four weeks ago and can probably improve again.

This ought to be a confidence-boosting success for ASTERION FORLONGE, who reverts to fences having finished a creditable sixth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham 17 days ago. He's not the most reliable at times, but the 10-year-old retains plenty of ability and, given a clean round of jumping, ought to have far too much for Lucid Dreams, who has been coming up short at this level and is rated 15lb inferior.

ASTERION FORLONGE should be able to see off sole rival Lucid Dreams and provide Willie Mullins with a third successive win in this Grade 3.

It is a while since ASTERION FORLONGE has run over fences but if his jumping holds up then he should account for Lucid Dreams.

Given that he has further scope for improvement over the larger obstacles, a subsequent 5lb rise might not be enough to stop him from landing the hat-trick. Recent Sandown scorer Rose Of Arcadia won't go down without a fight, though, and nor will Any News, who arrives having been on target at Exeter in October.

MAKIN'YOURMINDUP arrives on the up and looks the way to go here despite having a career-high mark to overcome. The consistent Rose of Arcadia rates the main danger to Paul Nicholls' hat-trick seeker, with Hudson de Grugy also weighted to have a say in this useful handicap.

Nicholls-trained 7yo MAKIN'YOURMINDUP firmly catches the eye but Any News and Rose Of Arcadia could be serious rivals.

15:45 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 -127%) Mirazur West	2.5 5/2(-127%)	(4) Mirazur West 5/2, Promising type. 4/6 and hooded for 1st time, respectable 8½ lengths third of 6 to Fun Fun Fun in Kingsfurze Novices' Hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Solid claims. Yard also fields Tounsivator and Western Diego. Quite smart form, even better if getting more fluency in jumping and settling better.
2	8 2nd (8) (100/1 -100%) Kilbarry Saint	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Kilbarry Saint 100/1, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16f, heavy, 10/3) 45 days ago, easily. Plenty to find on form. Scored off 95 in Clonmel handicap last month on heavy; this looks very ambitious.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +29%) Western Diego	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Western Diego 5/1, Promising type. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 11-runner C&D novice hurdle (11/8) (heavy) 64 days ago, pushed out. Has to be feared. Impressive C&D maiden winner in January will relish a stamina test here.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -21%) Sporting Glory	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Sporting Glory 40/1, Thrice-raced winner in bumpers. Won 5-runner bumper here (2m, heavy, 3/1) 36 days ago, digging deep. Makes hurdles debut. Good recent bumper form here but set stiff enough task on hurdles debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +14%) Fascile Mode	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Fascile Mode 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 40 lengths eighth of 10 to Ballyburn in Brave Inca Novices' Hurdle (40/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 56 days ago. Others more persuasive. Form to be competitive but likely vulnerable to more progressive rivals.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/4 +30%) Tounsivator	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(6) Tounsivator 7/4, Highly promising type. First run since leaving J. Reynier when winning 25-runner novice hurdle at Naas (15.6f, heavy, 7/2) on NH debut 35 days ago, cosily. Open to significant progress. Impressive recent maiden winner; smart prospect and could well be up to the task.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 -40%) Ataboycharlie	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Ataboycharlie 14/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Successful at Leopardstown in December. 11/2, fell in handicap hurdle there (16f, soft) 56 days ago. May well do better. Progressive handicapper steps up in class here; first time on heavy ground.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -20%) Angostura	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) Angostura 12/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. 2/5, won 15-runner novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. This is a steep rise in class but he's clearly promising. Ready Gowran winner type to continue improving, especially given better jumping.

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand and MIRAZUR WEST may prove the pick of the Closutton trio. The Westerner full brother to Ferny Hollow has always been held in high regard and easily made all in a Naas bumper last spring. He's raced very keenly on all three hurdle starts this term but still won easily over C&D in January and was placed behind Fun Fun Fun in a Naas Grade 3 last time. Tounsivator won twice on the Flat in France and made a successful start over hurdles for current connections when overcoming a mistake at the last to beat Rainbow Trail (won since) in a 25-runner Naas maiden. Western Diego also made all in a maiden over C&D while Angostura easily landed the odds at Gowran last time.

Willis Mullins boasts a terrific record in this race and saddles three strong candidates in TOUNSIVATOR, Mirazur West and Western Diego this time round. Preference is for the first-named, who was successful twice on the Flat in France and he looked good when getting the better of next-time-out winner Rainbow Trail and 23 others on his hurdles debut at Naas. Mirazur West is better than he was able to show when failing to land the odds last time and is second choice ahead of Western Diego.

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand here with TOUNSIVATOR selected ahead of Mirazur West and Western Diego

Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Best run on debut; off since October and the market may guide on this handicap debut.

JUST RITA caught the eye when filling fourth place on her handicap bow over 7f at Kempton a month ago. The daughter of Bated Breath was only beaten two lengths on that occasion, despite meeting with plenty of trouble in running, and she could make amends off the same mark here. Eccentric has to be of some interest following his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton, while Body Parts completes the shortlist.

ECCENTRIC is still well treated judged on his excellent second at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, and looks the one to beat. Desert Raider is not discounted after a break on first start for a new stable, while Body Parts has recent C&D form.

This may be decided between BODY PARTS, Eccentric and Cuban Fiesta, who are preferred in that order.

1	9 1st (9) (5/1 +44%) King Of The Road	5 5/1(+44%)	(9) King Of The Road 5/1, Maiden hurdler who failed to improve for a switch to handicap company at Taunton (19f) 40 days ago. Others appeal more. Modest form so far including in a Taunton h'cap last time (made a respiratory noise).
2	14 2nd (14) (16/1 -33%) Special Dragon	16 16/1(-33%)	(14) Special Dragon 16/1, Has offered little in a trio of novice hurdles, tongue tied when twelfth of 15 at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 102 days ago. Hooded for her handicap debut with lots to find. Unexposed; modest form; may do better on h'cap debut up in trip with a hood after wind op.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 -83%) God's Own Getaway	11 11/1(-83%)	(3) God's Own Getaway 11/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who has gone with some promise, cheekpieces on when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 67 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off a 3 lb lower mark under these less testing conditions. Placed in novices on first two runs over hurdles; disappointing in h'caps since.
4	11 4th (11) (18/1 -50%) Garitsa Bay	18 18/1(-50%)	(11) Garitsa Bay 18/1, Hasn't shown much in a bumper/3 runs over hurdles and needs to raise his game considerably now switched to handicap company. Has not shown a great deal in a bumper or over hurdles but may improve now handicapping.
5th	2 5th (2) (2/1 +20%) Mammies Boy	2 2/1(+20%)	(2) Mammies Boy 2/1, Much imporved when getting off the mark in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Up 10 lb but had plenty in hand there so can go well again. Off the mark over hurdles in a 2m3f h'cap latest (good); now 10lb higher on softer going.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/2 +59%) Highway One O Five	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(4) Highway One O Five 9/2, Fair form first 2 runs in bumpers but he arrives on the back of two below-par runs in this sphere. Needs to get back on track if he's to open his account. Placed in two bumpers; rather disappointing since fair run in a Newbury novice in December.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 -43%) Geordie Night	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Geordie Night 10/1, Good fourth in novice here (16.6f) on Boxing Day and backed up that effort when fifth of 9 at Doncaster last time.

8th	1 8th (1) (9/1 -80%) Sauce Of Life	9 9/1(-80%)	(1) Sauce Of Life 9/1, Useful bumper winner who shaped well when third in 2m novice hurdle at Ayr but off over 2 years since.

Ex-Irish; promise over hurdles but pulled up after a long break on stable debut in Feb.
11th	8 11th (8) (22/1 -175%) Treasured Company	22 22/1(-175%)	(8) Treasured Company 22/1, Successful twice in 2021 but he didn't show much in 2 appearances last year and again at Uttoxeter last summer.

Although Mammies Boy was quite taking when opening his account at Taunton last month, he's effectively racing off a 17lb higher mark with no 7lb conditional in the plate this time. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on the unexposed KING OF THE ROAD. Ben Pauling's charge proved disappointing on his handicap bow when only ninth, but there is a sneaking suspicion that this quicker ground could prompt an improved performance. Any market support for Garitsa Bay would also be interesting.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and GOD'S OWN GETAWAY is worth siding with to build on previous promise under these less testing conditions and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Easy Taunton scorer Mammies Boy rates the obvious danger, while handicap-debutants Geordie Night and Sauce of Life warrant respect too.

Dual bumper winner SAUCE OF LIFE can show that his opening mark of 105 is generous by winning this after a break of 853 days.

Back in good form over hurdles since, in contention for a long way in the Imperial Cup 3 weeks ago. Fair shout back down in class.

Fair fourth at Taunton since from this mark and that looks solid form also. Player. Made all to open account at Lingfield two starts ago; may still have more to offer.
3	3 3rd (3) (17/2 -6%) Sizing Pottsie	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(3) Sizing Pottsie 17/2, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington in 2021/22 and hit the crossbar in a 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle (heavy) in November. Not so good since, though. New headgear tried. On the downgrade but copes well with heavy ground and is well handicapped; blinkers on.

LIVELY CITIZEN has shown that he retains plenty of ability this year, most recently when finishing an admirable seventh in the Imperial Cup at Sandown, and eased 1lb with his sights lowered, he can return to winning ways. Just Over Land could only manage fourth when a warm order to supplement a facile Lingfield victory at Taunton, but he must not be written off just yet. Byzantine Empire looks thrown in judging by his chasing mark and he is worth a look on his first start for a new stable.

LIVELY CITIZEN was in the hunt for a long way in the Imperial Cup 3 weeks ago and has a big shout back down in class. Just Over Land is feared most ahead of Lelant.

David Jeffreys' LIVELY CITIZEN ran very well before fading into seventh in a major Sandown handicap on soft ground this month.

Having finished a creditable third in the Boyne Hurdle, DA CAPO GLORY was far from disgraced in the Coral Cup next time out. The son of Fame And Glory can now take advantage of using his Irish handicap mark and, in a less-competitive heat, he could regain the winning sequence. Top-weight Ashdale Bob makes significant appeal with 7lb claimer Conor Smithies aboard, while Shadow Rider, who bolted up at Fairyhouse in February, remains in contention, despite a 10lb hike in the ratings.

CHOSEN WITNESS appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps on the back of a taking Thurles novice success so edges the vote in this competitive handicap. Coral Cup seventh Da Capo Glory brings rock solid claims and rates the chief threat to Willie Mullins' low-mileage 7-y-o, although a case can also be made for Shadow Rider, Any Road and Lucky Zebo.

The selection is SHADOW RIDER(nap), who may have got away lightly with a 10lb penalty for his Fairyhouse win. He can score again

1	11 1st (11) (6/1 +40%) Our Champ	6 6/1(+40%)	(11) Our Champ 6/1, Winner of handicaps over C&D and Cheltenham on first 2 outings for Chris Gordon. His progress has stalled since but he made a sound return from wind surgery (also tongue tied) when seventh of 21 in Betfair at Newbury and his stable's good record in this affords him plenty of respect. Course winner; first run after a wind op when running well for a long way in the Betfair.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 -100%) Mr Freedom	16 16/1(-100%)	(9) Mr Freedom 16/1, Most consistent sort in the main who produced another likeable display when landing 6-runner C&D handicap at the start of the month. It was always going to be a big ask for him under a penalty in the County at Cheltenham since and he hasn't finished out of the first 3 in his 4 outings over C&D. Likeable 5yo but off his current mark he could be vulnerable to others better in.
3	13 3rd (13) (10/1 -11%) Tapley	10 10/1(-11%)	(13) Tapley 10/1, Returned to form with a bang when bagging 2m Kempton handicap in November and has remained in good form since, resuming winning ways at Fakenham (2m again) 16 days ago. No reason why this former C&D winner won't give his running but he is 5 lb higher in a stronger race now. Bang in form and consistent, but he might be vulnerable in this strong a handicap.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Gin Coco	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Gin Coco 12/1, Lightly-raced 8-y-o who showed benefit of his reappearance when taking 2m Ascot handicap hurdle in November. Freshened up since finishing down the field at Doncaster the following month but others more appealing on balance. Record fresh is encouraging, as is the drying ground; should make presence felt.
5th	12 5th (12) (5/1 +0%) Rare Middleton	5 5/1(+0%)	(12) Rare Middleton 5/1, Firmly back on the up in a first-time tongue tie (retained) when impressive winner of 2m Doncaster handicap (good to soft) in December. Might have been kept fresh for a spring campaign since and his top trainer does well in this race. Comfortable winner at Doncaster in December and a 6lb rise could have been worse.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +33%) Aucunrisque	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Aucunrisque 4/1, Betfair Hurdle winner in 2023 and good third in this last year. Few efforts of note since (well held in Lanzarote at Kempton latest) but is well treated if staging a revival in a race the stable is no stronger to success in. Not having a great season but first and third in the last two renewals of this race.
7th	6 7th (6) (15/2 -7%) Teddy Blue	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(6) Teddy Blue 15/2, Free-goer who won this last year before finishing second in the Swinton. Back on form in competitive events over longer trips on his last 2 outings and more than capable off this mark if on a going day. Has his quirks but won this last year and his latest Ascot fourth was a positive show.
8th	2 8th (2) (12/1 +14%) Too Friendly	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Too Friendly 12/1, On the up for current yard during the summer, winning three 2m handicap hurdles. His progress over hurdles stalled at the end of 2023 but returned from a break to win on AW Flat at Kempton recently. Not discounted. Five hurdle wins and successful on the AW recently; considered with a 7lb claimer booked.
9th	10 9th (10) (18/1 -80%) Moveit Like Minnie	18 18/1(-80%)	(10) Moveit Like Minnie 18/1, Posted significant improvement when winning 2m handicaps at Ludlow and Huntingdon. Good fourth to Lucia in a warm race at Ascot before Christmas but he needs to bounce back from a lesser run in the Betfair at Newbury. Ran just okay in the Betfair but he's a player on his previous fourth at Ascot.
10th	14 10th (14) (22/1 +33%) Inferno Sacree	22 22/1(+33%)	(14) Inferno Sacree 22/1, Three of his 5 wins in the first half of 2023 came here. Respectable in-frame efforts on his last 2 outings and he has dropped back to his last successful mark. Front-runner who is well suited to this track but tends to do his winning at a lower level.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (10/1 -43%) Knickerbockerglory	10 10/1(-43%)	(4) Knickerbockerglory 10/1, Typically went with plenty of zest when an impressive winner on Ascot return in November. Has run creditably on 2 of 3 starts since, no extra only from last when fifth of 16 in Imperial Cup at Sandown latest. Cheekpieces on first time. Top yard always to be feared in valuable handicap hurdles. Faced some tough tasks; now in cheekpieces but would prefer softer ground.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (18/1 -13%) Brookie	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Brookie 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland and won handicap hurdles on 2 of his 3 starts for Anthony Honeyball. Not in the same form when a well-held fourth at Kempton over Christmas and has first-time blinkers added to his tongue strap on this first outing since. 2-4 for this yard but well held in his latest run; blinkers will need to make a difference.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (20/1 -43%) Parramount	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Parramount 20/1, Had an excellent first season over hurdles, winning 3 times. Probably best to overlook final 2 starts at Aintree/Haydock and comes here on the back of 2 placed efforts on AW Flat this year. Fair runs on the AW of late; 8lb higher than his winning mark but not dismissed.

Teddy Blue landed the corresponding event 12 months ago from a 3lb lower mark and he must be respected in a bid to retain his crown, but a chance is taken on RARE MIDDLETON. He was able to put it all together when winning at Doncaster in December on just his third run in a handicap and looks set to continue his improvement in the retained tongue-tie. Gin Coco and Knickerbockerglory make plenty of appeal from their current handicap marks and must be taken seriously.

A really good renewal of this valuable handicap. RARE MIDDLETON had plenty in hand at Doncaster when last seen in December and is taken to provide Paul Nicholls with a fourth win in this race since 2015. Chris Gordon is another who has a fine record in this and his Our Champ heads the many dangers along with Knickerbockerglory and last year's winner Teddy Blue.

A whole host of these have chances but GIN COCO (nap) is classy on his day and, with a good record fresh, he has to be strong interest.

2	9 2nd (9) (13/2 -8%) Mount Frisco	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(9) Mount Frisco 13/2, Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in January. 15½ lengths last of 4 to Mister Policeman in Gr 3 chase at Thurles (17.9f, heavy, 33/1) 15 days ago. Out of depth at Thurles latest, every chance back in handicap company here.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -33%) Figaroc	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Figaroc 4/1, Good third of 11 in handicap chase at Gowran (16f, heavy, 8/1) 22 days ago, not knocked about. Top yard has saddled the winner of the last two runnings of this and he's one for the shortlist. Recent Gowran handicap debut third; more needed.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -11%) The King Of Prs	10 10/1(-11%)	(2) The King Of Prs 10/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this season. 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fell in handicap chase at Cheltenham (15.9f, heavy) 18 days ago. Stable in good form. Others more persuasive. Grand Annual faller drops in grade here so don't rule out.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -20%) Pats Choice	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Pats Choice 12/1, 3 wins from 13 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Naas in January. 11/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Gowran (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Not taken lightly. Enjoyed good season in handicaps but held by the handicapper of late.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 +0%) Cadatharla	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Cadatharla 12/1, Useful winner at 19f over hurdles. 14/1, good fourth of 10 in novice chase at Leopardstown (17f, heavy) 27 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. May well do better. Hasn't looked a natural jumper of fences so far; likely more to offer entering handicaps.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (12/1 -20%) Gua Du Large	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Gua Du Large 12/1, Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 28/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in novice chase at Leopardstown (17f, heavy) 27 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Something to find on form. Lightly raced 8yo enters handicaps but Blackmore prefers Hurricane Cliff.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (2/1 +0%) Hurricane Cliff	2 2/1(+0%)	(7) Hurricane Cliff 2/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 16/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Limerick (17.5f, heavy) 21 days ago, driven out. Shortlist material. Benefited from fallers when winning well at Limerick; 9lb rise but expected to go close.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (16/1 +20%) Skippin Court	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Skippin Court 16/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft, 12/1) 96 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Encouraging handicap debut at Leopardstown; capable of going well.

MOUNT FRISCO had Figaroc seven lengths back in third with Pats Choice well adrift in fifth when runner-up to the progressive Whiskeywealth in a similar Listed handicap chase at Gowran Park earlier this month. The selection, who won both over fences and hurdles in January, has been given a typical aggressive campaign by John Ryan and was far from disgraced behind Mister Policeman last time in a Grade 3 novice chase at Thurles. Hurricane Cliff has been raised 9lb after an ultimately clearcut win at Limerick where a number of rivals fell in the straight, while Skippin Court comes here fresh after a creditable effort at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.

HURRICANE CLIFF opened his chase account in good style at Limerick three weeks ago and looks capable of defying a 9 lb rise in the weights. He gets the nod ahead of Figaroc, who was behind Mount Frisco at Gowran earlier this month but he is 2 lb better off with that rival now and may well emerge as the main danger this time. Pats Choice was back in fifth in that Gowran handicap but would be a threat were he to put his best foot forward.

Limerick winner HURRICANE CLIFF is taken to follow up here off a 9lb higher mark

1	6 1st (6) (14/1 +0%) Monsieur Fantaisie	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Monsieur Fantaisie 14/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 20/1) 8 days ago. Ran creditably on latest 6f start; worth another crack at 7f and could go well.
2	12 2nd (12) (16/1 +0%) Coconut Bay	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Coconut Bay 16/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty five runs since last win in 2022. Creditable 3¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Drakeholes in minor event (20/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Ties in with Drakeholes on latest effort; however, strike-rate remains poor.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +43%) Drakeholes	4 4/1(+43%)	(3) Drakeholes 4/1, Won 11-runner minor event at Newcastle (7.1f, 2/1) 9 days ago, quickening clear. Remains well treated on old form and shouldn't be discounted for all that this is a stronger contest. Comfortably justified favouritism in classified event at Newcastle nine days ago.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -43%) Asmund	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Asmund 20/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Redcar (7f, heavy). Off 163 days. Liable to need the run. Capable of being involved but others are higher up the list; no win since 2022.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 -10%) Kodebreaker	11 11/1(-10%)	(7) Kodebreaker 11/1, C&D winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, respectable third of 11 in minor event at this course (8.1f) 5 days ago. Can't be ruled out. Made the frame at this course in last three runs; defied an 8lb higher mark last March.
6th	1 6th (1) (13/8 -9%) Catherine Chroi	1.625 13/8(-9%)	(1) Catherine Chroi 13/8, Course winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (6/4) at Newcastle (6f) 6 days ago, easily. Hat-trick is firmly on the cards for this thriving mare. Has form figures of 211 (all over 6f) since rejoining this yard; lesser strike-rate at 7f.

First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Not an obvious sort on paper. Only 1-17 for Mick Appleby; makes debut for new stable (still with same owner).
8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 -50%) Written Broadcast	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Written Broadcast 12/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 22 runs last year. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, very good second of 9 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago. Merits consideration. Close second in C&D classified event last time; 8lb below last winning mark; respected.
9th	11 9th (11) (66/1 -100%) Wood Farm Wag	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Wood Farm Wag 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 50/1) 12 days ago. Still a maiden and holds weak claims on overall form.
10th	10 10th (10) (25/1 +24%) Atrafan	25 25/1(+24%)	(10) Atrafan 25/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 22/1 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 9 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago. Blinkers back on. Difficult ask. Multiple AW winner but is far from solid on 2024 form.
11th	8 11th (8) (7/1 +13%) Higher Law	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Higher Law 7/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Creditable second of 8 in minor event at this course (6.1f, 9/2) 10 days ago. 21-race maiden but went close under Hollie Doyle here ten days ago; not dismissed.
12th	5 12th (5) (8/1 -60%) Inexplicable	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Inexplicable 8/1, Course winner. 11/2, good fourth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.1f) 5 days ago, slowly away. Should be on the premises again. Most wins at about 1m; doesn't appear to be crying out for this return to 7f.

CATHERINE CHROI arrives here on the back of two wins in the last 10 days and a 5lb penalty for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop her now. Drakeholes is an obvious threat following his success in a classified event at Newcastle, while Higher Law and Written Broadcast are others who merit places on the shortlist in an open affair.

CATHERINE CHROI is right at the top of her game and, with a promising claimer taking 7 lb off, she's worth siding with as she bids to complete the hat-trick. Drakeholes and Inexplicable look the chief dangers.

On the back of an encouraging C&D effort, WRITTEN BROADCAST could well go one better. Kodebreaker is second choice.

Below par last two runs, latest his chase debut at turn of the year; could build on that.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +0%) Will Sting	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Will Sting 7/2, Bounced back to form after a wind op when second at Leicester (20.1f) in January but only fourth of 6 at Wetherby following month. Weighted to go well if shrugging off latest effort. 1lb below last season's winning mark but is inconsistent; 7lb claimer is recruited.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/8 -10%) Superstylin	1.375 11/8(-10%)	(6) Superstylin 11/8, Irish point winner who was a ready scorer at Lingfield on chase bow in November. Posted an excellent second of 7 over C&D last time so big shout herer nudged up only 1 lb. C&D second 11 days ago is clearly the most persuasive recent claim in this line-up.
4	4 4th (4) (11/2 +0%) Minella Choice	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(4) Minella Choice 11/2, Lightly-raced 7-y-o who shaped well on his return/chasing debut when third in 2m4f handicap chase at Ludlow. Well below par both outings since however so others are preferred. Backward steps last two starts; reportedly bled from the nose latest; drops back in trip.

Fair second on completed start in hunters last summer for Richard Pinger but well held after 9 months off in Southwell maiden hurdle for new stable. Needs to take a big step forward. Lacks solid claims but this is his handicap debut, with a marked drop in trip.

Having found only a resurgent rival too strong over C&D recently, SUPERSTYLIN looks ready to land a race of this nature. A 1lb rise in the ratings is more than fair for Suzy Smith's charge and the seven-year-old should take all of the beating if coping with the relatively quick turnaround. The biggest danger is Grain D'oudairies, who is entitled to build on his fourth-placed chase bow at Ayr in January, while Will Sting is noted too.

SUPERSTYLIN has made a bright start to life over fences and is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of his excellent recent C&D second. Will Sting is weighted to go well too if on his A-game, while Grain d'Oudairies is another who can have a say if bouncing back to his best.

The most solid option appears to be SUPERSTYLIN (nap) who will have a huge shout if he reproduces the form shown over C&D 11 days ago.

However, it still remains early days for him in this sphere and blinkers/tongue strap are applied. No forlorn hope. Ran well for long way at Chepstow in January; tongue-tie may aid his finishing effort here.
2	6 2nd (6) (15/8 +0%) Ballyrashane	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(6) Ballyrashane 15/8, Points winner who landed 4-runner handicap chase (4/6) at Fakenham (29.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to improve further. Can go well again. Dominated Fakenham chase this month; can progress again if today's trip/ground suits.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 -71%) Dentley De Mee	6 6/1(-71%)	(2) Dentley De Mee 6/1, Made a solid start for this yard when second on 3 consecutive occasions but he came in ony seventh in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f) when last seen out 12 months ago. Has gone well fresh so possibilities. Second three times over C&D last season (once on heavy) and reappears on a good mark.

Should have more to come in this sphere. Player eased 1 lb. Runner-up in first two chases and, with conditions suitable, he's a likely contender here.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -60%) Easy Bucks	12 12/1(-60%)	(1) Easy Bucks 12/1, Made light of a 15-month absence when making a winning debut for John Joseph Hanlon at Punchestown but not quite as much promise in a trio of outings since rejoining Peter Bowen.

BALLYRASHANE comfortably accounted for some modest opponents at Fakenham and it would come as no surprise to see him lead this field a merry dance too. The Christian Williams-trained seven-year-old was put up 4lb for that all-the-way success, but has more than enough scope to handle the rise on just his third start over fences. Easy Bucks takes a drop in class and is respected at this level, while Wonder Of The Seas has shown ability in this discipline and is another potential improver.

WONDER OF THE SEAS is built for chasing and fancied to take a step forward from his recent Leicester second (form been franked) and get off the mark. Point-scorer Ballyrashane also looks to have better days ahead of him and rates a big threat though, with the returning Dentley de Mee another to consider off a handy-looking mark.

He's been off the track for over a year but DENTLEY DE MEE ran some good races in defeat over C&D last season and is on a good mark.

There was a lot to like about the manner in which LOVELY REACTION asserted herself when she was asked to win the race at Leopardstown at the start of this month and a 9lb higher mark might not prevent the mare from following up here. That performance reads well in the context of the task in hand here and although Jerk and Thedancingfarrier also rate highly on the back of successful performances, neither caught the eye as much as the selection.

LOVELY REACTION was quite impressive at Leopardstown last time and the longer trip could bring more out of her, so she's to fellow last-time-out winner Jerk, who is also going the right way. Thedancingfarrier can't be ruled out.

Preference is for JERK, who relished this trip at Leopardstown last time in similar conditions and can defy an 8lb hike.

2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -5%) I See You Well	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(1) I See You Well 7/2, Something of a course specialist, winning 5 times over fences here. Solid showing over hurdles here recently and this looks very winnable, so he's worth chancing. Questionable what he achieved back hurdling last time; had been struggling over fences.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 -22%) Star Flyer	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(6) Star Flyer 11/2, Winner in chase at Southwell in February. Fourth of 6 in handicap chase (5/1) at Taunton (23f, heavy) 31 days ago.

I See You Well returned to form with a solid second over hurdles earlier this month, but this drop in distance may be enough to prevent the veteran from regaining the winning thread. With that in mind, it may be worth taking a chance on I SHUT THAT D'OR. Although Joe Tizzard's inmate hasn't progressed as expected during his novice chase campaign, a subsequent wind procedure may unlock his true potential. Star Flyer could also prove dangerous if dictating the pace.

Veteran I SEE YOU WELL loves it round here and the bulk of his opponents have a bit to prove, so he's worth siding with over Star Flyer, who is a big player if back to the sort of form he showed at Southwell on his penultimate outing. Inedit de Mee can't be dismissed having his first go over the larger obstacles.

A chance is taken on FAME AND FUN coming good at just the third time of asking over fences, as his handicap mark is fine.

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (11/8 +27%) Spillane's Tower	1.375 11/8(+27%)	(4) Spillane's Tower 11/8, Notched second success in this sphere when outpointing Blood Destiny in a Punchestown Grade 3 in January. Beaten 6½ lengths by that rival in the Flyingbolt at Navan (2m, heavy) since but meets that rival on 7 lb better terms here and, moreover, this step back up in trip looks a good move. Failed to confirm previous form with Blood Destiny over 2m last time, should go close.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -50%) Tactical Move	9 9/1(-50%)	(5) Tactical Move 9/1, Hasn't done much wrong since switched to fences, chasing home stablemate Nick Rockett on chase debut here in January and has hit the target at Gowran and Naas since. Should make his presence felt. Has rewarded the patience of connections with two wins in recent months, can hold his own.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 -14%) Blood Destiny	2 2/1(-14%)	(1) Blood Destiny 2/1, Smart hurdler who resumed his progress over fences with victory in the Flyingbolt at Navan (2m, heavy) 29 days ago, proving 6½ lengths too strong for Spillane's Tower. Jumps really well and open to further improvement. Reversed previous form with Spillane's Tower at Navan, may prevail again in the rematch.
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -25%) Thecompanysergeant	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Thecompanysergeant 20/1, Useful hurdler who was in the process of matching that level of form when departing at the last at Leopardstown (17f, heavy) on debut over fences earlier this month. Confirmed that promise when second in a Thurles Grade 3 recently but this is much tougher. Solid run against an odds-on shot in a four-runner contest at Thurles, tough task here.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 -43%) Zanahiyr	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Zanahiyr 10/1, Very smart winning hurdler who got off the mark over fences in 2m maiden at Thurles last month, despite making some mistakes. By no means disgraced when fourth of 11 in the Turners Novices' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival since and he merits respect. Best of the Irish when fourth in the Turners at Cheltenham, not out of his depth here.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 +0%) Flanking Maneuver	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Flanking Maneuver 33/1, Opened chase account over 21.5f here in October. Well adrift of Blood Destiny and Spillane's Tower in the Flyingbolt at Navan (16f, heavy, 16/1) on penultimate start, though, and he was a first-fence faller at Naas last time. Won beginners' event over a longer trip here on seasonal debut, limitations evident since.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (12/1 +0%) Saint Felicien	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Saint Felicien 12/1, Smart hurdler who has quickly reached a similar level over fences this season, off the mark at the fourth attempt in a Gowran maiden (2½m, heavy) last month. Didn't get the chance to show what he can do at the Cheltenham Festival since and further progress possible. Second to Tactical Move at Gowran before win at the same venue, brought down at Cheltenham.

The score is 1-1 between BLOOD DESTINY and Spillane's Tower over fences this season with the latter having come out on top over just short of 2m4f in a Grade 3 at Punchestown but the places were decisively reversed over two miles at Navan earlier this month. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding appreciated a more patient ride at Navan and despite a 7lb swing at the weights and the longer trip, is fancied to again come out on top. Stablemate Tactical Move beat Saint Felicien over this distance at Gowran, although it's interesting that Jack Kennedy rides the latter in favour of Zanahiyr, the pick of these over hurdles and a creditable fourth in the Turners Novices' Chase at Cheltenham.

The head-to-head between SPILLANE'S TOWER and Blood Destiny stands at 1-1 and they could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter represents the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard (responsible for the last five winners of this Grade 1 contest) and he is not passed over at all lightly. However, Spillane's Tower appeared to find 2m too sharp in the Flyingbolt and he has a good chance of turning the tables on the winner here. Saint Felicien remains open to improvement and he is third choice.

Having reversed previous form with Spillane's Tower last time, BLOODY DESTINY gets the vote to confirm his superiority.

In what looks a trappy affair on paper, it may pay to side with the largely consistent BROTHER DAVE. Ruth Carr's charge came from last to first with a sweeping run in a classified race over C&D earlier this month and, pitched back into handicap company, he can bring up the double. Marcello Si arrives on the back of a creditable second at Newcastle and may prove the main danger off an unchanged mark. Jems Bond ran on well for third over 6f and can make his presence felt stepping back up in trip.

A repeat of the form BROTHER DAVE showed to win a C&D classified race a fortnight ago might be good enough to see him follow up back in a handicap. Bluebells Boy, Outreach and Marcello Si head the dangers.

In-form BROTHER DAVE (nap) is taken to build on his C&D success and follow up. Marcello Si is second choice.

Below form at Sandown last time, but he was ridden more patiently that day and he can bounce back returned to this grade with tongue tie applied.

Left his chasing debut form behind when second at Wetherby in November, but failed to repeat that effort at Doncaster a month later. Goes up in trip with tongue strap added (has had wind op). Third chase; has had wind surgery, tongue-tie is added and this is a much longer trip.

UKANTANGO has shown promise on his last couple of starts over 2m and the seven-year-old may improve having had a wind operation since his last appearance. The application of a first-time tongue-tie could also help, while the step up in trip is another potential positive. Harjo looks to be the main threat following his second at Hereford, while Mylesfromwicklow is next best.

Having made the frame on his first 3 starts in chases, MYLESFROMWICKLOW ran below par in a premier handicap at Sandown on his latest outing, but he is well worth another chance as he drops back down in grade. He is preferred to Harjo, who quickly left behind a lesser effort when runner-up at Hereford earlier this month.

Two of his last three performances earn HARJO the vote in his first-time cheekpieces and Mylesfromwicklow looks the chief threat.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

The betting can shed a revealing light on the chances of a few of these, with point-to-point seconds Potters Charm and King Of Thieves both suggested as ones to monitor closely. However, J'AIME EL MARS, who was only denied by half a length in a similar race at Southwell on his debut 13 days ago, has an edge in terms of experience in this sphere and is readily suggested as the first one to place on the shortlist.

J'AME EL MARS showed plenty on debut and his stable is still flying, so he gets the nod over Andy Amo, who also arrives on the back of a promising start. Potters Charm is another to consider.

Inexperience probably cost J'AIME EL MARS the race on his recent Southwell debut but he will hopefully be more streetwise here.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

There is a tried and trusted formula being put to the test here as Willie Mullins sends out an unraced individual who boasts a live chance of making a winning debut on paper. A 95,000 euros-purchase, JACKSON WOOD is the one to fly the flag for the Closutton powerhouse yard and the son of Al Namix is too difficult to ignore. Churchroad Prince showed promise on his hurdling debut at Punchestown in January and has to be of interest back in this sphere, while Donnie Devito is another potential improver to bear in mind.

JACKSON WOOD might not be as well bred as some of his stable's string but he should be well forward and this won't take much winning, so he gets the nod over Churchroad Prince, who ran well in a novice hurdle at Punchestown last time.

Preference is for CHURCHROAD PRINCE, possibly unlucky to be beaten in a 2m7f maiden hurdle at Punchestown in January

First-time cheekpieces saw a career-best performance from last month's Ascot scorer MOTHILL. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks more than fair for landing that 16-runner affair and Neil Mulholland's charge is fancied to complete a double. Colours On Canvas warrants respect in his hat-trick bid over C&D, although a 10lb hike in the handicap will undoubtedly make life tougher for the five-year-old. Emailandy and Whatsupwithyou also merit a second look.

COLOURS ON CANVAS is thriving and makes plenty of appeal as he bids to complete a hat-trick over C&D. Emailandy and Mothill also arrive at the top of their game and strike as formidable threats in a competitive event.

Emailandy has strong claims but PERSEUS WAY was a smart juvenile last season who might be glad to see the back of heavy ground.

KOPEK DES BORDES is hardly an original choice from the powerful Mullins stable in a race where the market will provide vital clues as to the relative merits of these young prospects. Riding arrangements suggest he's preferred of the three newcomers from the yard and the half-brother to five winners cost 130,000 euros at the Derby Sale last June. Butchers Bill is a brother to Romeo Coolio and was another purchased at the Derby Sale for 265,000 euro while Gordon Elliott is also represented by Spinola Bay. We're Red And Blue was odds-on when winning on debut at Hereford while there is further UK interest with Clap Of Thunder who has shown promise on all three starts.

BUTCHERS BILL makes plenty of appeal on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. He is marginally preferred to the Willie Mullins-trained newcomers Kopek Des Bordes, La Note Verte and Doctor Steinberg (in that order of preference), while British raiders Clap of Thunder and We're Red And Blue both have claims.

As usual, it should pay to focus on Willie Mullins' runners and KOPEK DES BORDES is the choice of Patrick Mullins from the stable

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (10/1 -11%) Secret Road	10 10/1(-11%)	(11) Secret Road 10/1, 5/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Drawn widest here. Generally consistent in AW handicaps; won off this mark in November; one to consider.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -29%) Airshow	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Airshow 9/1, C&D winner. 12/1, won 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 17 days ago, just holding on. Only nudged up 2 lb for that. In-form 9yo; raised only 2lb for Chelmsford win; should remain competitive.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/2 -29%) Late Arrival	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(9) Late Arrival 9/2, Won 10-runner C&D handicap 15 days ago, well on top finish. Has a 7 lb higher mark to contend with now and his draw could make life awkward. Scored comfortably over C&D two weeks ago; still well treated on historical data.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 -18%) Blazing Son	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(5) Blazing Son 13/2, C&D winner. 11/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) on reappearance 23 days ago. Should go well. Reappearance effort took his AW form figures to 13112; 1-1 at Southwell; strong claims.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/2 +31%) Hiatus	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(6) Hiatus 11/2, C&D winner in January. 7/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago, faring best of those held up. C&D winner in January; did well to finish third at Kempton last time; in the mix.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -106%) Bowman	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Bowman 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Laura Mongan when seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 18 days ago, not knocked about. Lurking on a good mark. One to note in the betting. Recent 7f efforts suggest this return to 6f may suit.
7th	3 7th (3) (8/1 +43%) Cavalier Approach	8 8/1(+43%)	(3) Cavalier Approach 8/1, Three wins from 10 runs last year, including tapeta. Should be competitive if fully primed for this first outing in 5 months. 2-4 for current yard and may do better still.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -9%) Daytona Lady	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Daytona Lady 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Back on last winning mark and could go well.
9th	12 9th (12) (12/1 +25%) Lord Abama	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Lord Abama 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 starts but is well treated on his peak form from last season. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting on reappearance. Still a maiden but starts this campaign on a reduced mark.
10th	2 10th (2) (6/1 +33%) Rodborough	6 6/1(+33%)	(2) Rodborough 6/1, Three course wins but all over 5f. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, 10/3) 19 days ago. Could have a big say if as effective on a rare outing over 6f. Three-time course winner but has something to prove back at 6f.
11th	13 11th (13) (14/1 -56%) Man On A Mission	14 14/1(-56%)	(13) Man On A Mission 14/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. 6/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago. Placed at Kempton last time; has form figures of 54232323 at Southwell; solid chance.
12th	1 12th (1) (33/1 -106%) Yoshimi	33 33/1(-106%)	(1) Yoshimi 33/1, Dual turf winner last summer. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (7f) when last seen in October. Has won when fresh but may find this trip inadequate.
13th	8 13th (8) (22/1 -38%) King Of Tonga	22 22/1(-38%)	(8) King Of Tonga 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) when last seen in the autumn. Has a wide stall to overcome on reappearance. Place possibilities, provided he's as effective returned to AW.

LATE ARRIVAL comfortably accounted for a subsequent winner over C&D and the suspicion is that, off a 7lb higher mark, there is more winning to be done before the handicapper has his measure. Daytona Lady has run with more credit than the form book suggests on her last two starts and, back down to her last winning figure, it would be no surprise if she could get competitive. Hiatus acquitted himself well when third at Kempton and he has every chance of hitting the frame again off an unchanged mark.

BLAZING SON arrives on the back of a good reappearance run at Newcastle and might prove the answer to this competitive finale. Rodborough will be a big danger if her stamina holds back up at 6f. Airshow and Hiatus also make the shortlist.

Preference is for BLAZING SON, who should build on his reappearance effort. Late Arrival is second choice.

Makes plenty of appeal for stable that does well in this sphere. Has a pretty useful jumps pedigree and won an Irish maiden point (3m, soft) in November.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +33%) Ace Of Spades	2 2/1(+33%)	(1) Ace Of Spades 2/1, 25/1, fifth of 18 in bumper at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 81 days ago. Should have learned plenty from that and is open to improvement back from a break. 25-1 at Doncaster (good to soft) in January, making late headway from rear into 5th of 18.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -82%) Jubilant	10 10/1(-82%)	(3) Jubilant 10/1, £40,000 5-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Halibut.

4	6 4th (6) (9/2 -29%) Positivia	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(6) Positivia 9/2, Related to a fairly useful hurdler but has some speed in her pedigree and made a pleasing start when runner-up at Sedgefield recently. Merits consideration. Flat bred but second of seven in bumper at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) 19 days ago.
5th	2 5th (2) (15/2 -25%) Chantilly Moon	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(2) Chantilly Moon 15/2, Related to a couple of winners and offered something to work on when fourth at Catterick 103 days ago. Could step forward from that. Weak 11-1 at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft) in December but showed some promise.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 +0%) My Mate Charlie	40 40/1(+0%)	(4) My Mate Charlie 40/1, Garswood gelding. Half-brother to 11.5f/1½m winner Capla Huntress. Dam unraced. Flat bred; rare bumper runner for yard; probably best watched.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

WADE OUT won his sole start between the flags in Ireland last November and it would be no surprise to see the son of Shantou make a winning debut under Rules. Positivia showed plenty of promise on her racecourse bow at Sedgefield recently and she is entitled to improve for that experience, while Ace Of Spades and Jubilant are others to consider.

WADE OUT has already won a point and has joined shrewd connections that do well in bumpers, so he gets the nod over Ace of Spades, who shaped with encouragement at Doncaster on debut 81 days ago. Jubilant is another one to consider.

Wade Out and Jubilant were first and second respectively in Irish points. ACE OF SPADES is the pick of those with bumper form.

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.
