1	1 1st (1) (Evens +9%) Easy Peasy		0 Evens(+9%)																															(1) Easy Peasy Evens, Dual bumper winner who made a successful debut over hurdles in 9-runner maiden at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) 62 days ago, readily. Open to improvement and has obvious claims under a penalty. Created pretty good impression when moving clear to win readily on hurdle debut at Exeter.
2	7 2nd (7) (13/8 +60%) Twyford's Diamond		1.625 13/8(+60%)																															(7) Twyford's Diamond 13/8, Showed little in a brace of bumpers but better signs over hurdles, finishing a good third in a novice (16.6f) at Market Rasen in February. Failed to repeat that effort at Wincanton last time, though. Below form when odds-on last month but a contender if back on song here.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +79%) Of Course You Can		6 6/1(+79%)																															(5) Of Course You Can 6/1, Placed in bumpers but looked to be being brought along gradually in this sphere (needs this for a mark). Looked promising in bumpers but both hurdle runs have been disappointing; drops in trip.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 +0%) Janworth		14 14/1(+0%)																															(4) Janworth 14/1, Placed sole outing in bumpers but comfortably held both starts over hurdles. Needs this for a handicap mark. Kept on for modest fourth at Hereford in February; further progress is needed here.
5th	6 5th (6) (250/1 -150%) Too Shy Shy		250 250/1(-150%)																															(6) Too Shy Shy 250/1, Modest winner on Flat who went with no promise sent hurdling on first outing for 18 months/since leaving John Flint when pulled up at Wincanton 26 days ago. Won basement-grade Flat race last summer but struggled on recent hurdling debut.
2	2 |PU| (2) (400/1 -300%) Don't Cheddar Tear		400 400/1(-300%)																															(2) Don't Cheddar Tear 400/1, No impact in bumper/novice hurdle. Struggled when 200-1 for last month's hurdling debut at Chepstow.

EASY PEASY lost her unbeaten record when finishing down the field in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November, but the daughter of Walk In The Park put that behind her to make a successful hurdling bow at Exeter 62 days ago. This doesn't look the strongest of contests, so she's taken to carry a penalty to success. Get Sky High might not have been seen for 504 days, but she had some useful form in the book prior to her absence and market support would be interesting. Twyford's Diamond heads the remainder.

GET SKY HIGH offered plenty to work on behind the now smart Nemean Lion on her Hereford hurdling debut back in November 2022 and, with fitness rarely a concern with runners from the Skelton yard, she's taken to come out on top. Easy Peasy won a decidedly ordinary maiden at Exeter but surely has more to offer based on her bumper form, with Twyford's Diamond fancied to fill the places.

Far too good for a fair rival when winning on her hurdling debut in January, EASY PEASY has a very good chance to follow up here.

1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +25%) Justus		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(5) Justus 9/2, Fair winner on the Flat for Ian Williams and left his stable/hurdling debut form behind when landing a Catterick novice on New Year's Day. Difficult ask when pulled up at Kelso on his latest outing, but he's back down to his last winning mark on the level. Dual Flat winner at about 2m on soft ground; positives to take from recent hurdling form.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/8 +72%) Maxident		1.375 11/8(+72%)																															(4) Maxident 11/8, Won by a huge margin in testing conditions at Leicester (11.8f) on debut but didn't go on from that effort, albeit facing a stiff task when well held in Long Distance Cup at Ascot in October. Needs to find more on his return. 0-4 since his maiden win but still of interest, as the least exposed of these.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -256%) Robert Johnson		8 8/1(-256%)																															(2) Robert Johnson 8/1, Enjoyed a fine campaign in 2023, winning 5 times and runner-up at Glorious Goodwood (20.5f) in August. Had an off day at the York Ebor meeting on final start but no surprise were he to resume his progression this year. Highly progressive last year in winning five times, from 1m4f to 2m on all sorts of ground.
4	1 4th (1) (10/3 -33%) Goobinator		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(1) Goobinator 10/3, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who, after 18 months off, showed that he retains all of his ability when winning on the level at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) in October. Ran well when second at Haydock back over hurdles in December, so he looks a major player. Useful dual-purpose performer and in good form when last seen; plenty in his favour.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 -71%) Black Kalanisi		6 6/1(-71%)																															(3) Black Kalanisi 6/1, Recorded back-to-back wins on the Flat at the end of last season, scoring at this C&D in October and at Newmarket (2m, soft) the following month. Pulled up over hurdles at Ludlow in February, but he could bounce back returned to this venue. Will need to be approaching his best and he pulled up on his final run over hurdles.

GOOBINATOR gamely won his latest Flat outing in October and backed that up with a solid placed effort over hurdles two months later. Today's forecast testing conditions will pose no problems and he could give weight and a beating to his rivals. Black Kalanisi has struggled over timber recently but a return to the level could see him bounce back to form, while Robert Johnson also holds claims.

GOOBINATOR defied a lengthy absence when making most at Catterick in October and, having run well over hurdles next time, he is taken to add to his tally back on the level. C&D winner Black Kalanisi could be the biggest threat returned to this track, ahead of the reappearing Robert Johnson.

All five have chances. The suggestion is JUSTUS, who is well handicapped even without factoring in Aiden Brookes taking off 5lb.

1	3 1st (3) (18/1 -200%) Legionar		18 18/1(-200%)																															(3) Legionar 18/1, Bumper/novice hurdle winner a few years ago. No impact in 2 handicaps (remote third latest) for Anthony Charlton back from an absence this winter but Harry Cobden has been booked now starting out for new yard. Worth a second look in the betting. Not at best on either start for Anthony Charlton this season; now with new stable.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 -86%) Bucksy Des Epeires		6.5 13/2(-86%)																															(1) Bucksy Des Epeires 13/2, French recruit who made a winning return/yard debut at Lingfield in November prior to chasing home an improver on handicap debut at Sandown (2m) in December. Below that level on both completed starts since but given a chance by the handicapper as a result and the one to beat if back to best. Strong claims if judged on autumn form but not much has gone to plan lately.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +0%) Tedley		6 6/1(+0%)																															(4) Tedley 6/1, Off the mark at the sixth time of asking over hurdles in 2m Wincanton maiden in February. Found the EBF Final at Sandown too competitive 10 days later but he might fare better in these calmer waters. Soundly beaten in hot race on handicap debut but still has potential.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 -8%) Masked Dance		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(5) Masked Dance 13/2, Much improved for switch to handicaps, second twice prior to running out a dominant winner at Doncaster (19.5f, soft) in January. Something surely not right when stopping quickly here in early February. Given time since. Wide-margin winner two starts ago; stopped quickly after racing too freely last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +36%) Pearl Island		9 9/1(+36%)																															(6) Pearl Island 9/1, Placed in 2 bumpers last spring but barely modest form in maiden/novice hurdles this winter. Unexposed but her opening handicap mark demands plenty of improvement. Made quite promising hurdle debut in November but has gone the wrong way since.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/10 +37%) El Saviour		1.1 11/10(+37%)																															(2) El Saviour 11/10, Big improvement when making it 2-4 over hurdles on her 21f Warwick handicap debut last month. Came 24 lengths clear with another improving type on that occasion so a 7 lb rise looks fair. Sure to go well. Won when upped to 2m5f for last month's handicap debut and is now 2-4 over hurdles.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +0%) Illico De Montave		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Illico De Montave 10/1, Unplaced in sole point but displayed some ability in 2 bumpers for Tom Weston before Christmas and likewise when reaching the frame in a pair of 2m novice hurdles for Rosemary Gasson. Steps up in trip now making a quick switch to handicaps. Fourth over 2m on both hurdling starts; likely to be suited by today's longer trip.

Wincanton winner Tedley was far from disgraced in a warm premier handicap at Sandown last time out and he must be of interest at this lower level, but the vote goes to EL SAVIOUR. The six-year-old recorded a comfortable success at Warwick when pitched into a handicap for the first time and a subsequent 7lb rise might not be enough to stop him. Bucksy Des Epeires should not be underestimated either.

The handicapper has taken a bit of a chance dropping BUCKSY DES EPEIRES to 2 lb lower than when a good second at Sandown in December and he'll take a bit of stopping if back to that form. The progressive El Saviour is the obvious danger.

Preference is for EL SAVIOUR, who was one of two to pull a long way clear of the others when winning on last month's handicap debut.

1	3 1st (3) (10/1 -25%) The Bell Conductor		10 10/1(-25%)																															(3) The Bell Conductor 10/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Latest win at Southwell in January. Not up to listed company there the following month but this more realistic having a rare recent outing on turf. Has won on turf but five of his six wins have been on the AW, which is more his scene.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 -25%) Glorious Angel		5 5/1(-25%)																															(7) Glorious Angel 5/1, Three wins from 22 runs last year. Creditable 4½ lengths sixth of 7 to Montassib in listed race (50/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 10 days ago. Weighted to go well back in a handicap. Ran well in a Listed race at the Lincoln meeting and ought to handle today's ground well.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +25%) Wen Moon		3 3/1(+25%)																															(5) Wen Moon 3/1, Deservedly got his head back in front at York last October. Ended last season with a below-par run at Catterick but capable of bouncing back at a venue where he made a successful reappearance last April. Mostly consistent during last season's productive campaign; may have more to offer.
4	8 4th (8) (11/2 +39%) Elegant Erin		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(8) Elegant Erin 11/2, C&D winner. Sharper for reappearance when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 10 days ago. Her last win came off a similar mark but it was back in 2022. Fine on soft; came from a long way behind to be close up on the Newcastle AW recently.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +40%) Hiya Maite		4.5 9/2(+40%)																															(4) Hiya Maite 9/2, Won 3 times in 2023, including when easily landing 9-runner event at Southwell (5f) in December. Might have needed his first outing in nearly 3 months when well held at Newcastle 18 days ago but he'll need to come on a good bit to go close. Career-best form on the AW two runs back; rated lower on turf and goes on this ground.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 -20%) Looking For Lynda		9 9/1(-20%)																															(6) Looking For Lynda 9/1, Better than ever when winning in a big field at York last September. Ended last season with a disappointing run back at York but he's on a competitive mark if ready to roll after 172 days off. Front runs; today's stiff 5f perhaps not ideal and especially under these conditions.
7th	1 7th (1) (13/2 -63%) Vintage Clarets		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(1) Vintage Clarets 13/2, Enjoyed a very successful 2023 campaign, scoring 4 times over 5f. Ground conditions fine and should give a good account if fully primed after 5 months off. Wouldn't want to be at all rusty off his current mark but he's hard to rule out.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -115%) Spoof		14 14/1(-115%)																															(2) Spoof 14/1, Won 4 times last season. Shot back up in the weights as a result but he does well on soft ground and should have a say under Hollie Doyle if ready to roll (went close on 2023 reappearance). Plenty in his favour but he's an exposed 9yo and perhaps too high in the weights.

VINTAGE CLARETS, who was due to run in a valuable sprint at Musselburgh prior to it's abandonment on Saturday, is taken to land the spoils. Richard Fahey's charge progressed well last season, finishing third at Doncaster when last seen in October, and this career-high mark could still be within range. It would be unwise to rule out a Paul Midgley sprinter and Elegant Erin, who is lurking on a dangerous mark, must be considered. Wen Moon can chase the pair home.

WEN MOON took his form up a notch when dropped to 5f last autumn and still looks to have some mileage in his mark so is taken to making a winning reappearance at this venue for the second year running. The classy Vintage Clarets is second choice ahead of Spoof.

There should be plenty of pace on and such a scenario will suit WEN MOON, who made a successful return on this card 12 months ago.

1	4 1st (4) (11/4 +21%) One True King		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(4) One True King 11/4, Ended long losing run when taking 7-runner handicap chase at this course (16f, soft) 12 days ago. 5 lb higher mark to contend with now but can't be discounted back up in trip. 2m course winner 12 days ago; 5lb rise ought to be manageable and 3m also suits.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +25%) Kestrel Valley		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Kestrel Valley 3/1, Out of depth at Cheltenham Festival latest but gained second success for this yard in comfortable fashion over C&D in January and remains feasibly treated. Very progressive over the last year, winning four times (twice here); must be considered.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +58%) Jacamar		2.5 5/2(+58%)																															(5) Jacamar 5/2, Ended last season on a low-key note but made the frame on several occasions this term. Possibly stretched by extreme trip when below par latest and booking of Cobden catches the eye on debut for new yard. Went close off much-reduced mark in January but safely held twice since; others preferred.
4	3 4th (3) (11/4 +17%) Georges Saint		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(3) Georges Saint 11/4, Drew a blank over hurdles for current connections but upped his game since sent chasing, scoring at Ffos Las (19.4f) and Fakenham (21.2f) before a good third at Wincanton (20.2f, heavy) in January. Tries longer trip now and must enter calculations. Ended 2023 with two wins, and his close third in January was another good effort.

JET PLANE bounced back to form with a victory at Sandown last month following a string of disappointing efforts. Dan Skelton's gelding, whose previous success had come over 3m2f at Newton Abbot in October, is likely to relish stepping back up in trip and gets the vote to handle a 2lb rise from the handicapper. Georges Saint finished third at Wincanton when attempting to land a hat-trick and is respected along with Kestrel Valley, who should find this easier than the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham.

KESTREL VALLEY has upped her game this season and goes particularly well at this course. She can return to winning ways. Georges Saint is feared most.

Preference is for late-blooming mare KESTREL VALLEY, who runs this track very well and will find this easier than her last two races.

1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +0%) James's Delight		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(1) James's Delight 9/4, Made a winning start at Newbury in July and similar form all 3 starts since, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f) on final outing. Has been gelded and should have more to offer as a 3-y-o. Had a fair first season; now gelded and might well progress further.
2	3 2nd (3) (15/2 -25%) Beyond Borders		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(3) Beyond Borders 15/2, C&D winner who improved further to complete a hat-trick back on tapeta at Newcastle in November. Shaped as if needing the run when ninth of 12 in 6f AW handicap at Lingfield on return 32 days ago. Never got involved at Lingfield but went into that with a record of 3-3 in 6f handicaps.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -100%) Bellarchi		12 12/1(-100%)																															(4) Bellarchi 12/1, Completed hat-trick when landing 6f Hamilton nursery in September. Latest effort at Doncaster best excused and could well bounce back on her seasonal return. Hat-trick last season before progress stalled; 5lb higher than for her final win.
4	2 4th (2) (11/8 +45%) Twilight Romance		1.375 11/8(+45%)																															(2) Twilight Romance 11/8, Confirmed promise of Haydock debut third when running out a comfortable winner of a York maiden in June. Good second over C&D second time prior to finishing well held in a valuable sales race back at York on final outing. Has been gelded and retains potential. York maiden winner; might well have more to offer but soft ground is an unknown.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 -50%) South Shore		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(5) South Shore 9/2, Blue Point colt who made a promising start when second of 6 in 5f novice at Ripon in August. Below that level both outings since, though, including when no match for an odds-on favourite at Wolverhampton on yard debut in November. Into handicaps now. Unraced on ground softer than good but he's an unexposed handicap debutant.

Twilight Romance disappointed despite being well fancied in a fiercely competitive two-year-old race at York when last seen 222 days ago but newly-formed father and son partnership John and Sean Quinn will be hopeful he can improve this season. However, likely soft ground would have to be a slight concern and so preference is for JAMES'S DELIGHT. The Invincible Army gelding showed a useful level of form as a juvenile and given that his sire improved with age, he could follow suit. Beyond Borders is also noted.

TWILIGHT ROMANCE and James's Delight both strike as if they'll have more to offer this season, with slight preference for the former, who created an excellent impression when scoring in a good time at York back in June. Bellarchi's final run is easily excused and he could bounce back on this return to action.

The now-gelded JAMES'S DELIGHT had not run a bad race until running below market expectations on his nursery debut.

1	1 1st (1) (11/4 -69%) Balhambar		2.75 11/4(-69%)																															(1) Balhambar 11/4, Fairly useful on the Flat for Michael Bell and shaped encouragingly when sixth of 14 on second hurdles start for that yard at Huntingdon (2m, soft). Improved third on debut for new yard in a maiden over the same C&D since and may have more to offer now pitched into a handicap. Tongue strap added. Kept on for third in Huntingdon maiden on stable debut; can progress again in handicaps.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +43%) Passing Kate		2 2/1(+43%)																															(3) Passing Kate 2/1, Off the mark with a last-gasp success at Leicester in November and added to her tally in ready fashion at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) on penultimate start. Below par when bidding to follow up from 3 lb out of the weights at Hereford but competes off correct mark here and likely to bounce back. Won in good style at Wincanton in February and latest run was perfectly respectable.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/5 -7%) Royal Deeside		3.2 16/5(-7%)																															(4) Royal Deeside 16/5, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and has finished in the money on 3 of his 4 starts since switched to hurdles, including when a clear second to the runaway winner on his handicap debut over C&D (heavy). Provided conditions are not so testing this time, he should have a big part to play. No match for winner when second over C&D on handicap debut but was clear of the others.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Dundory		5 5/1(+0%)																															(5) Dundory 5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who stepped up on low-key efforts in maiden company when third off 11 on his handicap debut in this sphere at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) last month. 2 lb lower now and, if able to build on that, he should pick up a race before long. Cheekpieces refitted. Six-time Flat winner; ran big race when third on handicap hurdle debut; must be considered.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +0%) Glengolly		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Glengolly 12/1, Showed some promise on first of his 2 starts in bumpers and appeared to take a step forward on third run over hurdles when making the frame in 2m Sandown novice in February. However, subsequent handicap debut display was poor. Shaped with promise in Sandown novice in February but well beaten in first handicap.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 -52%) Mo Zola		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Mo Zola 50/1, Won sole start in point bumpers but she has shown nothing in 4 starts under Rules so far. Yet to show any promise over hurdles; 3lb wrong for handicap debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 -150%) Fort Nelson		50 50/1(-150%)																															(6) Fort Nelson 50/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and well held all 3 starts over hurdles in 2022. Huge step forward needed now pitched into a handicap in this sphere on the back of an absence of almost 2 years. Remains unexposed but makes handicap debut after a 713-day absence; tricky to weigh up.

BALHAMBAR has shown some promise recently over hurdles, including when third at Huntingdon last month, and the application of a tongue-tie for his handicap bow may yield enough improvement to see him get off the mark in this sphere. Passing Kate was dropped 3lb for her recent third at Hereford and is capable of going close, while Royal Deeside and Dundory appeal most of the remainder.

The one with the most attractive profile is BALHAMBAR, who achieved a pretty useful level of form on the Flat and he appears to be going the right way in this sphere judged on his latest effort. That was his first start for new connections and further progress is anticipated now that he goes down the handicap route. Royal Deeside and Passing Kate are feared most in that order of preference.

If judged on his Flat ability, BALHAMBAR (nap) could go very well off his opening hurdle mark. Dundory is second choice.

Up 10lb for his emphatic Doncaster win but could still be on a good mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +63%) Bushfire		3 3/1(+63%)																															(3) Bushfire 3/1, Below form when last seen at York in October but won a pair of handicaps last summer and hails from a yard in good form. Last season didn't end well but he returns with the yard having winners.

5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +30%) Flying Scotsman		14 14/1(+30%)																															(5) Flying Scotsman 14/1, Yet to trouble the judge in half a dozen starts for this yard and makes limited appeal. Useful in Ireland but uncompetitive in six Flat handicaps for Ben Haslam.
6th	4 6th (4) (17/2 -21%) Damascus Steel		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(4) Damascus Steel 17/2, Dual winner (at up to 11.5f) last season but campaign ended rather tamely and others appeal more. Two wins last year; form fell away but on a fair mark if getting his act together.

The combination of soft ground and a drop in trip worked for BUSTAAM when shedding the maiden tag at Doncaster and he makes plenty of appeal in his bid to back that performance up. Lord Melbourne is open to improvement on his handicap bow with conditions potentially being in his favour, while Bushfire and Damascus Steel are others capable of being in the mix.

BUSTAAM had plenty in hand when scoring at Doncaster last month and is taken to follow up. Destinado and Lord Melbourne are feared most.

Although up 10lb for his decisive win at Doncaster, the well-bred BUSTAAM (nap) appeals as the type who could move through the ranks.

1	1 1st (1) (4/7 +37%) Iskandar Pecos		0.571429 4/7(+37%)																															(1) Iskandar Pecos 4/7, Multiple point winner who posted an encouraging second on hunter debut at Haydock (22.2f) in February and landed the odds with minimum of fuss at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) last time. Likely more to come yet. Easy winner latest and, unlike some of these, he looks a good bet to give his true running.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 -38%) Before Midnight		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(2) Before Midnight 11/4, Ridden more handily than previously this term and best effort yet for new yard when third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (20.5f) on penultimate start. Latest effort best excused and warrants respect on switch to hunter chasing. A long time without a win and wouldn't want the ground too soft, but he's strong on form.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 -120%) Senior Citizen		5.5 11/2(-120%)																															(6) Senior Citizen 11/2, Useful chaser, gaining last success in 3m handicap at Doncaster in December 2022. Shaped as if better for run when sixth in Taunton hunter (21.7f, soft) in January and holds solid claims. Not the easiest to predict and ideally wants drier ground, but too talented to rule out.
4	4 4th (4) (66/1 -65%) Dalahast		66 66/1(-65%)																															(4) Dalahast 66/1, Multiple chase winner in France but obviously not the force of old and finished well held in similar event here last month. A regressive 11yo without a performance of note for a good while now; very opposable.
5th	3 5th (3) (50/1 -25%) Boughtbeforelunch		50 50/1(-25%)																															(3) Boughtbeforelunch 50/1, Three-time chase winner for Paul Webber but offered little on debut for new yard in Leicester hunter last month. He was pulled up in a hunter chase last month after a long absence.

ISKANDAR PECOS produced a fine effort on his hunter chase debut when runner-up at Haydock and the six-year-old didn't need to repeat that level of performance at Leicester just 10 days later. He is open to further improvement which is unlikely to be the case for his main rivals, Before Midnight and Senior Citizen, who were both more than useful performers in handicap company.

ISKANDAR PECOS has looked a good prospect in a couple of starts under Rules and is fancied to take the finale. Senior Citizen and Before Midnight should give him plenty to think about, though.

The 6yo ISKANDAR PECOS is the progressive one and most likely to give his true running.

1	4 1st (4) (11/4 +50%) Wintercrack		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(4) Wintercrack 11/4, Off the mark in a 1¼m Leicester maiden last spring and signed 2023 campaign off with a solid second over the same C&D (front two clear of the rest). 2 lb rise for that effort is fair and she's proven on slow ground. Possibilities. Last seen going close in a Leicester handicap off just 2lb lower.
2	12 2nd (12) (4/1 +60%) Do I Dream		4 4/1(+60%)																															(12) Do I Dream 4/1, Winner of this race 12 months ago off a 3 lb higher mark. Rather hit-and-miss thereafter and needs luck owing to her come-from-behind style of racing but conditions in her favour and she's dangerous to discount. Won this last year off a 3lb higher mark (on soft); didn't run badly on the AW last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 -150%) Harswell Duke		10 10/1(-150%)																															(5) Harswell Duke 10/1, Ultimately well held when bidding to repeat his 2023 success in the Spring Mile at Doncaster recently but that run is probably best overlooked (went off too hard and the strong headwind meant that it wasn't the day for front-running on Town Moor). Down another 3 lb and couldn't rule out. Handy mark but hasn't fired for a while now and remains best watched.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 -78%) Star Shield		16 16/1(-78%)																															(8) Star Shield 16/1, Notched third success of 2023 at Newcastle in December and has made the frame all 4 starts since. Latest success on turf was gained off a 3 lb higher mark at Wetherby last summer and claims if handling conditions (has performed well on slow ground in the past but that was some time ago). Below par latest on the AW; has won on soft but tends to steer clear of it these days.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 -150%) On The River		10 10/1(-150%)																															(1) On The River 10/1, Enjoyed an excellent first season with this yard in 2023, winning 4 times, including over this C&D on his reappearance last spring. Best to overlook his effort back here when last seen in September and he's one to consider. Last year was a good one for his new yard and he's back on his last winning mark.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 -100%) First Dynasty		80 80/1(-100%)																															(7) First Dynasty 80/1, Bagged a novice event at Chelmsford on final start for David Simcock last January and positive start for Tom Clover at Wolverhampton 3 months later. However, no show in 3 subsequent starts (including 2 runs since joining present yard) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Has won a race but not so clever in two runs for this yard, well beaten both times.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 -27%) Pol Roger		14 14/1(-27%)																															(10) Pol Roger 14/1, Benefited from the application of headgear when hitting the frame in a trio of handicaps in July/August last year. Ended that campaign on a downer but starts this season on a mark 19 lb lower than that of which he kicked off 2023 and Connor Beasley seemingly prefers him to Phoenix Fire. No wins since a 2yo but has come down the weights and conditions are fine.
8th	3 8th (3) (6/1 +25%) Gainsbourg		6 6/1(+25%)																															(3) Gainsbourg 6/1, Back-to-back winner at Ayr last summer and by no means disgraced in a couple of spins at Newcastle since returning to action in February. Has slipped back to his last winning mark and is proven round here (C&D winner in 2022), so there is cause for optimism. Back on his last winning mark and not without hope of him staging a revival.
9th	6 9th (6) (14/1 -40%) Young Fire		14 14/1(-40%)																															(6) Young Fire 14/1, Won 4 times in total last year, the latest off a 9 lb higher mark at Leicester in August. Failed to fire when last seen on the AW in January, though, and Daniel Tudhope prefers Star Shield. Needs a good pace to aim at and on a dangerous mark should he get one.
10th	9 10th (9) (13/2 +46%) Phoenix Fire		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(9) Phoenix Fire 13/2, Winless last season but made the frame on several occasions, including twice over this C&D, and probably best not to read too much into his effort at Wolverhampton when last seen in November. Conditions no problem (won on heavy at 2 yrs) and he could have a part to play if fully tuned-up. Fourth of 16 over C&D before running too bad to be true on the AW.
11th	11 11th (11) (28/1 -300%) Perfect Swiss		28 28/1(-300%)																															(11) Perfect Swiss 28/1, Has enhanced positive strike rate on the AW with victories at Southwell and Newcastle (both at 7f) on 2 of his last 3 starts. Clearly in good nick and has winning form over this C&D but a 7 lb rise for his latest success will make things tougher. Something has clicked in the blinkers; could have this run to suit if held up.
12th	2 12th (2) (50/1 -150%) King Sharja		50 50/1(-150%)																															(2) King Sharja 50/1, Showed ability in a handful of outings in maiden/novice company for Richard Hannon but failed to make an impact pitched into a handicap on return/yard debut at Newcastle. Failed to show enough on stable/AW/handicap debut last month to trust for this.

WINTERCRACK went close to getting her head back in front when beaten a neck at Leicester on her final outing in 2023 and the drop to a mile on her return to action may provide an ideal opportunity for Pam Sly's filly. Pol Roger boasts form with cut in the ground and he could bounce back after a couple of disappointing efforts when last seen. Others to consider include On The River and Phoenix Fire.

ON THE RIVER made a winning reappearance over this C&D last April, which turned out to be the first leg of a hat-trick, and he will have every chance if resuming in similarly good form this time round. Harswell Duke and Pol Roger have both slipped to dangerous marks and warrant respect, while last year's winner Do I Dream, Star Shield and Wintercrack are others with claims in a typically competitive and open-looking handicap at this venue.

A chance is taken that WINTERCRACK will be sufficiently straight to show her best form. She stays further, which could be an asset.

2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 +0%) Kingston Joy		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(3) Kingston Joy 7/2, Good second of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 18/1) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Back up in trip and merits respect off the same mark. Finished second over 9.5f here ten days ago; respected off the same mark back up in trip.

Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at this course (9.5f) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and can make his presence felt. 3-9 at the track including a win over this trip; good third off this mark here last time.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 -54%) Still Standing		10 10/1(-54%)																															(6) Still Standing 10/1, Unreliable type. Twenty-two runs since last win in 2021. 5/2, creditable third of 9 in minor event at this C&D 17 days ago. Blinkers back on. Chance if rediscovering old form. Staying-on third over C&D last month; each-way possibilities again.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 -25%) Pittsburg		5 5/1(-25%)																															(4) Pittsburg 5/1, Winner at Kempton in March. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (11/4) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Place possibilities. 1-15 on the Flat but finished a creditable fourth over C&D last time; each-way claims.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +29%) Tables Turned		5 5/1(+29%)																															(5) Tables Turned 5/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 14 days ago but record stands at 0-15 and likely to come up short once more. 0-15 but unlucky not to go closer when fifth over C&D last time; can't be dismissed easily.
7th	7 7th (7) (80/1 -142%) Biscoff Joe		80 80/1(-142%)																															(7) Biscoff Joe 80/1, First run since leaving Syd Hosie when seventh of 9 in minor event (100/1) at this C&D 17 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Readily passed over. 0-12 under rules and well held on stable debut over C&D last month; cheekpieces on.
8th	8 8th (8) (125/1 -150%) Ella's Angel		125 125/1(-150%)																															(8) Ella's Angel 125/1, First run since leaving Syd Hosie when ninth of 11 in minor event (200/1) at this course (9.5f) 22 days ago. Up in trip and it's best to look elsewhere. Well beaten all seven starts; hard to recommend up in trip.

The vote goes to KINGSTON JOY, who filled the runner-up spot over an extended 1m1f here 10 days ago. David Simcock's charge is competitively handicapped from an unchanged mark, and, with the return to further a positive, she can go one better. Moon Over The Sea continues to run well and must feature prominently in calculations, while others to note include Virtual Hug and Tables Turned.

VIRTUAL HUG has been in good order since the turn of the year and, still on a fair mark, he is taken to add to his C&D success in February. Next on the list is Moon Over The Sea, who has also been holding his form well in recent months. Kingston Joy and Pittsburg should both be on the premises, too.

Preference is for VIRTUAL HUG who is fully effective over further, but did win a steadily run event over C&D in February.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -60%) Bitcoin Profit		4 4/1(-60%)																															(2) Bitcoin Profit 4/1, First run since leaving Henry Spiller when creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, 7/1) 18 days ago, sticking to task. Up in trip. Should go well. Runner-up in two of his last three starts; bred to stay the longer trip on the dam's side.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/1 -38%) Lightning Bay		11 11/1(-38%)																															(7) Lightning Bay 11/1, 28/1 and visored first time, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 19 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Tongue strap on first time. Well beaten in first four starts and not much progress in handicaps; tongue-tie on.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 +61%) Supreme Tenacity		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(6) Supreme Tenacity 11/2, Poor form. Seventh of 8 in C&D handicap 24 days ago. Placed in his first three nurseries last autumn, but has regressed badly since.

5th	1 5th (1) (8/1 -78%) Trois Blancs		8 8/1(-78%)																															(1) Trois Blancs 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving James Fanshawe when sixth of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 18 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Back up in trip. Race not run to suit when behind two of these last time; may have a bigger effort in him.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 -13%) Exceptionality		9 9/1(-13%)																															(3) Exceptionality 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 10 in C&D novice 14 days ago, very slowly away again. Makes handicap debut. Not shown much in three starts, but may show more now handicapping; worth a market check.
6th	5 6th (5) (18/1 +10%) Red Hatter		18 18/1(+10%)																															(5) Red Hatter 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, 125/1) 73 days ago. Up in trip. Hasn't beaten many in four starts; longer trip should be within range but needs to step up.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/1 -38%) Takeityouremine		11 11/1(-38%)																															(8) Takeityouremine 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1 and cheekpieces on first time, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive. Achieved little when second of four at Chelmsford and sixth of eight on handicap debut.

A maiden after nine attempts, BITCOIN PROFIT was a good second over 7f on his first start for the Max Young team last month. The way in which he kept on that day would suggest this extended mile will suit and a first career success might be in the offing. Rust E Boy, who finished behind the selection in third, holds obvious claims from an unchanged mark. Takeityouremine shaped with more promise than her finishing position would suggest last time and she's worth a second look.

RUST E BOY has been placed twice over shorter trips here in recent months and might be able to get off the mark if his stamina holds now stepping back up in distance. Bitcoin Profit made a positive start for new trainer Max Young when second over 7f here last month and is second choice ahead of Trois Blancs.

This can go to BITCOIN PROFIT who comes into this in fair form and had two of these behind when second on stable debut here last month.

2	8 2nd (8) (11/10 +56%) King's Coronation		1.1 11/10(+56%)																															(8) King's Coronation 11/10, Highly promising sort. 4/1 and tongue strap on, fifth of 10 in novice at this course (8.6f) on debut 14 days ago, running green but keeping on encouragingly in the closing stages. Open to significant progress. Looked in need of the experience when fifth on his debut here (8.6f); should improve.
3	7 3rd (7) (3/1 +25%) Hampden		3 3/1(+25%)																															(7) Hampden 3/1, Promising individual. 9/2, second of 8 in C&D novice in October. Likely capable of even better in 2024. Beaten less than a length into second over C&D in October; player if reproducing that form.
4	10 4th (10) (17/2 -240%) Roland Garros		8.5 17/2(-240%)																															(10) Roland Garros 17/2, 200,000 gns Nathaniel colt. Closely related to winner up to 8.5f Atlantic Sun and winner up to 1¼m Connect and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Leontes. One of 2 runners for his top stable. The betting should guide.

6th	1 6th (1) (250/1 -400%) Royal Observatory		250 250/1(-400%)																															(1) Royal Observatory 250/1, Comfortably held in 2 bumpers/Flat novices. More one for handicaps down the line. A bit of promise when fifth over C&D last time, but still looks one for handicaps later.
7th	13 7th (13) (125/1 -400%) Takes Time		125 125/1(-400%)																															(13) Takes Time 125/1, Time Test filly. Dam 9.5f-1½m winner. A watching brief is advised on debut. Dam won five times over 9.4f-1m4f here in 2016; worth a glance in the market.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 +0%) Dream Ocean		10 10/1(+0%)																															(6) Dream Ocean 10/1, 6/1, fourth of 5 in maiden at Goodwood (1¼m, soft) on debut in September. Off 6 months.

9th	9 9th (9) (20/1 -122%) Marhaba Million		20 20/1(-122%)																															(9) Marhaba Million 20/1, €82,000 Galileo colt. Brother to 1m winner Koubalibre and useful 1m-1¼m winner Napa Valley and half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Tiggy Wiggy. Good pedigree and needs a betting check. Nice pedigree and stable gets plenty of winners first time out but outside stall not ideal.
10th	4 10th (4) (300/1 -500%) A Twist Of Time		300 300/1(-500%)																															(4) A Twist Of Time 300/1, Well held in 2 bumpers for Robert Walford. 125/1, tailed off in C&D novice on Flat/yard debut 18 days ago. Outsider. Beaten a very long way in two bumpers and on stable/Flat debut over C&D last month.
11th	2 11th (2) (250/1 -150%) The Flying Falco		250 250/1(-150%)																															(2) The Flying Falco 250/1, Remote fifth of 10 in bumper at Hereford on debut in December. Big outsider switched to the Flat. Beaten a very long way when fifth of ten in a Hereford bumper late last year.
12th	5 12th (5) (250/1 -279%) One Colour		250 250/1(-279%)																															(5) One Colour 250/1, Fair winner bumper winner for Rae Guest but well held on C&D Flat debut 10 days ago. 2-4 in bumpers for Rae Guest, but well beaten on stable/Flat debut over C&D ten days ago.

Marhaba Million, a son of Galileo and a relation to a handful of useful types, and 200,000gns purchase Roland Garros, who will relish this initial test of stamina, are two interesting newcomers for their respective yards but stablemate of the latter, KING'S CORONATION, gets the vote. The son of Kingman ran well amidst greenness over the extended mile here on his debut but he is a likely improver and can put that experience to good use. Hampden and Pique' complete the shortlist.

KING'S CORONATION showed lots of promise once he grasped what was required on his recent course debut and can leave that behind and strike at the second time of asking. Hampden was placed over C&D on his final juvenile start and should have more to offer this year so he's taken to fill the forecast spot ahead of Dream Ocean. The selection's debuting stablemate Roland Garros would also need considering if the betting suggests he's fancied.

The vote goes to KING'S CORONATION who gave the impression he would come on plenty for last month's course debut.

2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 -186%) Musical Diva		10 10/1(-186%)																															(5) Musical Diva 10/1, Course winner in January who ran creditably when third in 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, 18/1) 10 days ago. Should remain competitive back up in trip. Won twice in January but her stamina remains in doubt and she is exposed after 14 starts.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/3 -11%) Say You'll Never		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(6) Say You'll Never 10/3, Took a small step forward when third of 9 in 6f maiden at Chelmsford City 47 days ago. Into handicaps now and may do better still. Latest Chelmsford third has been franked; could step up again now switched to a handicap.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -71%) Unico		12 12/1(-71%)																															(3) Unico 12/1, Easy to back and ran below form in first-time cheekpieces when ninth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (6.1f) last week. Bit to prove. Well held at Southwell a week ago, but cheekpieces worn then are removed; possibilities.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -200%) Emu War		18 18/1(-200%)																															(4) Emu War 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, respectable fourth of 11 in maiden at this C&D. Off 176 days. Makes handicap debut. Improvement needed. Some ability in her last three runs as a 2yo; bit more needed on handicap debut.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +50%) Hot Front		4 4/1(+50%)																															(1) Hot Front 4/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 12/1) 4 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Below form the last twice but interesting back against her own sex; blinkers on.
7th	2 7th (2) (3/1 +57%) Delicacy		3 3/1(+57%)																															(2) Delicacy 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, seventh of 9 in nursery at this course (7.2f). Off 140 days and shouldn't be written off. Return to this trip may suit and, back from 140 days off, market useful.

SAY YOU'LL NEVER looks to have improved from two to three judged on her third behind subsequent winner Shallow at Chelmsford in February and, making her handicap debut off a fair-looking mark of 62, she rates the one to beat. Musical Diva won readily at this venue in January and she looks the biggest threat, ahead of Horse Whisperer, who is 1lb lower than when placed at Southwell.

SAY YOU'LL NEVER took a step forward when third in a 6f maiden at Chelmsford in February and, with that form proving strong, she's selected to make a successful handicap debut. Horse Whisperer is feared most ahead of Musical Diva.

It may be worth siding with HOT FRONT whose last two appearances in fillies-only races have resulted in a win and a narrow defeat.

Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 6f/7f winner Dominus and 1¾m-2m winner Byron Hill. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at. The only newcomer in the field and market informative.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 -63%) Prefer The Sister		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(1) Prefer The Sister 13/2, In hood for debut, offered something to work on when fourth of 12 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 80/1) 19 days ago. Can make her presence felt with her first run behind her. 80-1 fourth on her Southwell debut; improvement will be needed.

Entitled to progress. Ran well when fourth on his Lingfield debut; should stay the extra furlong.
4	2 4th (2) (8/15 +36%) Bella Bisbee		0.533333 8/15(+36%)																															(2) Bella Bisbee 8/15, Improved on debut form when winning 11-runner maiden at this course (6.1f, 5/4) in November, comfortably. The one to beat with more still to offer upped in trip on her reappearance. Ran well in both starts last autumn, including a win here; major player if ready to roll.

Will be of more appeal in handicaps. Fourth on debut here but didn't back it up last time; probably needs further.

BELLA BISBEE built on her promising debut when scoring readily over 6f at Wolverhampton and, with this longer trip unlikely to pose any problems, she can complete the double. Prefer The Sister outran huge odds when fourth on her debut at Southwell last month and any improvement should see her in the mix, similarly Radiant Angel, who also made a pleasing introduction.

BELLA BISBEE went one better than on debut when scoring with a fair bit in hand at this course in November and, with the potential of further progress to come, she can follow up on her return. Prefer The Sister showed some promise on her first start and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Radiant Angel.

This can go to BELLA BISBEE who showed good form in both starts over 6f last autumn, including an authoritative win here.

1	4 1st (4) (11/10 +56%) Tamaris		1.1 11/10(+56%)																															(4) Tamaris 11/10, Course winner. Won 10-runner handicap (3/1) at Kempton (16f) 66 days ago by neck from Baileys Warrior, well positioned. First run for yard after leaving Joe Tizzard and he's high on the shortlist. Just beat Baileys Warrior at Kempton last time and has won here; a player on stable debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -100%) Doublethetrouble		12 12/1(-100%)																															(2) Doublethetrouble 12/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 17/2, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 31 days ago, needing stiffer test. Blinkers back on and likely to make his presence felt. Runner-up in four consecutive starts last autumn and a fair third last time, but now 0-26.

4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +27%) Baileys Warrior		4 4/1(+27%)																															(7) Baileys Warrior 4/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Winner at Lingfield in February. 5/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (14f) 18 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Place claims. 1-26, but twice chased home the prolific The Craftymaster over C&D during the winter.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -120%) Smokey Malone		11 11/1(-120%)																															(1) Smokey Malone 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 9/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 70 days ago.

6th	9 6th (9) (15/2 -50%) Tarbat Ness		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(9) Tarbat Ness 15/2, 10/3, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, heavy). Off 154 days and blinkers on 1st time. Well held both previous starts on the AW (in 2022) but has generally improved since and has to enter calculations. 1-18 but ended last turf season running consistently well; off five months; blinkers on.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +31%) Smart Champion		11 11/1(+31%)																															(6) Smart Champion 11/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 6 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Chance on old form. Losing run up to 16 despite having fallen 21lb below his last winning mark; look elsewhere.
8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 +20%) Liquid Metric		20 20/1(+20%)																															(10) Liquid Metric 20/1, Eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f, 200/1) 32 days ago. This Irish raider is hard to warm to. 0-13 under rules and a while since he has shown any worthwhile form under either code.
9th	8 9th (8) (33/1 -230%) Sullivan Bay		33 33/1(-230%)																															(8) Sullivan Bay 33/1, First run since leaving Gary Brown when last of 6 in handicap (16/5) at this course (14f) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Twice held since winning on handicap debut at Chelmsford; needs to bounce back.
10th	12 10th (12) (100/1 -100%) Rebecca West		100 100/1(-100%)																															(12) Rebecca West 100/1, 66/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip and blinkered for 1st time. Readily passed over. 0-12; hasn't built on a fair effort here in January; up in trip with blinkers on.
11th	3 11th (3) (66/1 -230%) Hamnet		66 66/1(-230%)																															(3) Hamnet 66/1, 33/1, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip and blinkered for 1st time. Plenty to prove at present. Has gone the wrong way since runner-up on his second start for Andre Fabre; blinkers on.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 -400%) Clearance		80 80/1(-400%)																															(5) Clearance 80/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 100/1), missing break. Off 130 days and likely to find a few of these too strong. Can go well fresh but is without a win on the Flat since the summer of 2020.

TAMARIS returned to the level in December and has stepped forward with each outing, the latest seeing him get his head in front at Kempton in January, and the seven-year-old remains capable of better, especially now in the care of James Owen. Tarbat Ness was a consistent performer at the back end of last year and the switch of headgear to blinkers might aid his cause. Baileys Warrior, Smokey Malone and Doublethetrouble appear best of the remainder.

TAMARIS resumed winning ways on his final start for Joe Tizzard at Kempton in January and, up just 2 lb and having since joined the shrewd James Owen yard, he is taken to follow up here. Smokey Malone didn't do much wrong when third at Southwell last time and he is feared, along with the consistent Baileys Warrior.

The choice is BAILEYS WARRIOR who twice chased home the prolific The Craftymaster over C&D during the winter.

2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +38%) Locked N' Loaded		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(5) Locked N' Loaded 5/2, C&D winner. Not scored for some time but been cut some slack by handicapper and posted creditable third of 10 at Southwell (8.1f) 12 days ago. Respected. Often races too freely but was placed at Southwell (1m) recently and this C&D also suits.
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 +40%) Muhalhel		3 3/1(+40%)																															(8) Muhalhel 3/1, Made the frame all 3 starts this year, latest when creditable third of 9 in handicap over C&D 46 days ago.

4	1 4th (1) (7/1 -100%) Cryptos Dream		7 7/1(-100%)																															(1) Cryptos Dream 7/1, Three wins from 8 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (8.6f, 10/3) 22 days ago. Merits consideration. Dual winner in the autumn and still in good form; capable 7lb claimer enlisted tonight.
5th	10 5th (10) (80/1 -100%) Persian Wolf		80 80/1(-100%)																															(10) Persian Wolf 80/1, Two wins from 41 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 150/1, first run since leaving David C. Griffiths when last of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 7 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to recommend. 1 lb out of the weights. Seems badly to have lost his way and can't be recommended.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/2 +22%) Kraken Diamond		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(7) Kraken Diamond 7/2, Back on track when fourth of 9 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 17 days ago, running on. Significantly back up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Has gone close in two recent classified races; Oisin Murphy booked; one to consider.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 +0%) Commission		14 14/1(+0%)																															(4) Commission 14/1, 17/2 and hooded for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (10f, good to firm). Off 8 months. Makes tapeta debut. Something to find on form. Six-race maiden who made an underwhelming start to his handicap career on turf last summer.
8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 -100%) Naadyaa		16 16/1(-100%)																															(9) Naadyaa 16/1, Remains a maiden after 32 Flat runs. 12/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (12.2f) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Each-way claims. Kept on well for third here (1m4f) last month but is 0-32 now and has become frustrating.
9th	6 9th (6) (25/1 -108%) She's A Mirage		25 25/1(-108%)																															(6) She's A Mirage 25/1, C&D winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. 9/2, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 158 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. Good C&D winner last August but off the boil in the autumn; back from a break.
10th	2 10th (2) (18/1 -125%) Strategic Fortune		18 18/1(-125%)																															(2) Strategic Fortune 18/1, 3-time C&D winner. 16/1, last of 7 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Ran poorly here a fortnight ago but was second over C&D on consecutive outings beforehand.

KRAKEN DIAMOND has been running with promise since joining Brian Toomey and stepping back up in trip, along with the booking of Oisin Murphy, all look to be positives in his attempt to get off the mark. Cryptos Dream is a player based on her recent efforts and her rider's 7lb claim, while Muhalhel's recent consistency entitles him to a place on the shortlist.

KRAKEN DIAMOND should be suited by the step back up in trip and gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Muhalhel and Locked N' Loaded can also make their presence felt.

Topweight CRYPTOS DREAM has done well since joining Jack Jones last summer and Archie Young's claims a useful 7lb tonight.

Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. 1 lb out of the weights. Placed over C&D on two of his last five appearances but has become wildly inconsistent.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -60%) Bristol Hill		16 16/1(-60%)																															(3) Bristol Hill 16/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. 5/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 26 days ago, finding little. Down in trip. Eyeshields on 1st time. Not out of things. Third over 12.5f in February but soundly beaten twice since; drop in trip not sure to suit.

TROJAN TRUTH won readily under tonight's rider over C&D last time and a 3lb rise probably won't be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Calcutta Dream has backed up his Chelmsford success with three solid efforts in defeat and he is likely to be in the firing line once again. Damoiseau and Eaux De Vie are others to keep an eye on.

TROJAN TRUTH was a convincing winner under this pilot here last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He can follow up. Calcutta Dream and Pink Jazz rate the principal dangers.

Having kept on strongly to win readily over C&D ten days ago, after a break, TROJAN TRUTH (nap) is taken to overcome a 3lb rise.

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.
