The combination of a return to maiden company and this better ground ought to suit Don Virginia, who sets the form standard having placed on his first three starts over timber before going handicapping. He can mount a serious challenge, but the vote goes to COURT IN A STORM. The six-year-old landed a bumper in impressive fashion at Ludlow in October and could prove too strong now sent hurdling under suitable conditions. Rock On Cowboy can chase the pair home.

With Rock On Cowboy looking risky, bumper winner COURT IN A STORM may well win this hurdle debut by denying Don Virginia.

1	1 1st (1) (8/13 +26%) Yes Indeed	0.615385 8/13(+26%)	(1) Yes Indeed 8/13, Suited by drop in trip when landed handicap by 4l off 112 over 2m1f at Stratford last time; remains thrown in on French form; can follow up Comfortable winner on stable debut last month; 6lb rise may not be enough to stop a repeat.

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

The face value of YES INDEED's winning return at Stratford gives the eight-year-old an obvious chance of registering back-to-back wins given he seemed to respond well for the retained rider, Sean Bowen. That said, Famoso gets 12lb from Bowen's mount and is capable of making this a good test on these terms. Dexter has something to find with the latter based on their encounter at Ludlow three weeks ago and needs everything to go his way if he is going to spring a surprise.

None of the three can be ruled out but YES INDEED might be the sort to run up a sequence and can win again.

Fairyhouse runner-up JANES HARBOUR looks to have been found a nice opportunity to go one better. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly shaped as though ready to open her account when taking minor honours on her two previous starts and, with the benefit of that run in handicap company sure to stand to her back in maiden grade, the daughter of Camelot can register a first career success. Game Phoenix, who is a modest handicapper on the Flat, looks a different proposition over flights. Twice finishing second at Killarney earlier in the season, she should appreciate the return to better ground. Navan fifth Rhythm Of Life is entitled to be all the better for that experience.

This looks a good opportunity for JANES HARBOUR (nap) to get off the mark. Her experience gives her the edge over Rhythm Of Life

The penny dropped too late for HARPSICHORD when fourth behind a stable companion on her Southwell introduction but the performance still offered plenty of encouragement and, as a half-sister to Godolphin's classy stayer Siskany, she is expected to come into her own now tackling this trip and further. Lesson Of Life is also bred to relish a test of stamina, although Maraaheb might be the primary threat following a solid debut effort at Wolverhampton.

The one to appeal most is HARPSICHORD who looks a good candidate for this longer trip after showing promise over 1m on her debut.

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

EVERYONESGAME was beginning to edge into contention when unseating three from home at Kempton last week. Sent off the even-money favourite that day, Emma Lavelle's gelding faces an easier task now dropped in class and, if able to put in a clear round, he could be difficult to beat. The Gypsy Davey has posted a number of creditable efforts in defeat but would need more to land the spoils, so chasing debutant Red Hugh might pose a bigger threat.

Everyonesgame may make amends for last week's unseat but a chance is taken on RED HUGH, who's won a maiden point and maiden hurdle.

Iris Des Issards is a potential improver with cheekpieces tried for just the second time, while She Has Notions, who was sensibly pulled up after a bad mistake at Catterick when last seen, commands respect off 2lb below his last winning mark and can figure if his jumping holds up better. Nevertheless, this really won't take much winning and a speculative vote goes to BOSKILL BORDEN, who is back on a winning rating and he could provide a bit of value in a weak event.

This is unlikely to take much winning and looks a golden opportunity for IRIS DES ISSARDS to land a first success

Having returned to form when faced with better ground at Cork, CRAMERS VALLEY might be able to build on that effort. Runner-up for just the second time in his career, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding indicated that his turn may not be that far off. It is also a positive that Tiernan Power Roche partners the six-year-old ahead of the second stable runner, Splendid Choice. At these weights, the son of Mount Nelson should be able to confirm the form of that aforementioned race with the third-placed Phoenix Cowboy, who had been racing over further and appeared suited by dropping in trip. Clonmel winner Tingarran Express also enters calculations, despite a 5lb rise.

WHO'S IN MIDFIELD has 6.5l to find with Cramers Valley but he's open to improvement and he might be able to turn that form around

MELERI ended her 2024 campaign with a couple of seconds at Sandown and Goodwood and although she doesn't have much in the way of all-weather experience, her dam won on Polytrack and Jim Boyle's mare is fancied to make a successful comeback. Darysina Gold has been very consistent since entering the handicap ranks, while Nivelle's Magic is worth a look on her debut for a new stable.

Topweight COUNTESS CANDY is taken to record a first handicap win. Darysina Gold is second choice.

A few of these arrive with something to prove and it might be best to side with PITTSBURG. The nine-year-old recorded a comfortable victory at Market Rasen last month and, if turning up in a similar mood, a 4lb rise will be no barrier to further success. Zmiinyi was by no means disgraced at Warwick a fortnight ago and he could benefit from a drop in trip. My Portia appeals most of the remainder.

A win last time seemingly puts Pittsburg in pole position but a repeat is not assured. The new trip might do the trick for ZMIINYI.

MIGHTY FLEUR has jumps winners in her pedigree and could be well placed by Peter and Michael Bowen as she bids to make a winning start over hurdles. Having finished placed in three bumpers in 2024, the daughter of Scorpion ticks the right boxes and looks ready for this next phase of her development. Merry Shuil hinted at ability when fourth at Carlisle on her debut over timber in February and can play a strong role with another step forward. Jokers 'N' Clowns is readily suggested as the best of the remainder.

Mighty Fleur can go well on her hurdle debut but MERRY SHUIL is taken to improve upon her first attempt in this discipline.

THE DANCING TREE can prove himself to be a real course specialist by getting off the mark over flights. Runner-up in a novice handicap hurdle here in January, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding easily landed his bumper at this track the previous year. A lightly-raced six-year-old, he could be well handicapped off a mark of 112. Mercury Mission had looked to need a trip before dropping down in distance to open his account at Wexford. While this stiffer track should play to his strengths, he will almost certainly need a strong gallop. Thurles maiden winner Nowwhatdoyouthink is also a contender if handling the better ground on this occasion.

Runner-up to Romeo Coolio in a point-to-point, NOWWHATDOYOUTHINK finally came good over hurdles at Thurles last time and can win again

Havana Joy has made a promising beginning to her career, getting on to the podium in all three appearances, and reverting to this trip will suit after she was put in her place by an impressive winner over 7f at Wolverhampton. ANNSAR showed plenty of pace on her debut, though, making the frame over 7f at Kempton, and this seems a nice opportunity for her on her return. Cupola is a danger if judged on her C&D third rather than her subsequent Wolverhampton display.

Twice-raced CUPOLA is worth another chance to confirm her debut promise. Annsar and Havana Joy are the main dangers on form.

TIME INTERVAL went close to gaining a second victory here when making a bold bid from the front. Despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper, this doesn't appear to be a particularly deep contest for the grade and the seven-year-old can prove too strong for the opposition. Across Earth will need to jump better but undoubtedly has the ability to be competitive, while Grenardier completes the shortlist.

The top three are the most persuasive, with TIME INTERVAL (nap) preferred to Across Earth and Captain Attridge.

MUSIQUE DE FEE bolted up over an extended 3m1f at Hereford on her penultimate start before defying an 11lb rise at Sedgefield three weeks ago, and Georgina Nicholls' progressive mare is fancied to complete the hat-trick despite a further 7lb hike. Coconut Twist won under Robbie David at Exeter recently and he's unlikely to be far away, while Guy should not be overlooked.

Cases can be made for most of these but the thriving mare MUSIQUE DE FEE (nap) is taken to land the hat-trick.

Ballyragget point-to-point runner-up MASHALLA HABIBI can register a first win under Rules. The form of his only start between the flags has been well boosted, with the victor having made a winning UK debut for Harry Derham before running mid-division in the Aintree bumper. Although yet to reach the frame in four starts over hurdles, Mashalla Habibi has shaped with enough encouragement to suggest he can win a race such as this. Tattersalls Farm point-to-point winner Thetownilovedsowel has to be of interest on his Rules debut. Despite switching stables since that success, the six-year-old merits close attention. Jonny Carrol has yet to see action under any code but, coming from these quarters, he has to be considered.

The standard set by MASHALLA HABIBI isn't an insurmountable one and he's unproven on good ground but he is the one they have to beat

MOUNT MOGAN continues to go from strength to strength and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards for the son of Helmet after a 4lb rise for his most recent success over C&D. A taking winner over further here last month, Mister Mojito is a key player for in-form connections, as well as Lilkian, who had G'daay (second) over a length behind when scoring at Chelmsford.

Lilkian and G'Daay are ahead of the assessor. MISTER MOJITO is a solid alternative, while Thapa Vc is also respected.

MY VIRTUE clearly appreciates a sound surface judged on her success at Southwell last May and the fact that came after a break gives plenty of hope that she can strike after nearly a year off. Mistral Blue took a step in the right direction when fourth over C&D last month and the assessor may have been kind to drop her 2lb. Any market support for Briery Bee should be noted on her first taste of handicap action.

The chief question facing MY VIRTUE derives from her 338-day absence but she left last May on a positive note.

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

Jaramillo has shown enough to suggest his current mark is well within range over fences, but the vote goes to INVESTMENT MANAGER. Although below-par on his last two starts, Joe Tizzard's gelding seldom runs poorly here with a record of five wins from 11 visits (two over hurdles). If allowed to dictate terms, he could be tough to beat. Lord Baddesley can chase the pair home.

This isn't a strong race for the grade and LORD BADDESLEY can make the most of the drop in grade now back at 2m5f.

WEST AWAY should improve following a recent reappearance run and contests a race in which many of his rivals are out of form. He performed consistently well last spring/summer and while beaten 53 lengths at Naas last month, that was a much stronger race and reverting to better ground will help. My Friend The Wind is winless since August 2023 but has shown consistent form, is ground-versatile and should get involved. Grange Walk was beaten 50 lengths at Gowran last month, but finished third in a Listed handicap chase at the Dublin Racing Festival. He is rated 12lb lower over hurdles, although he has won just once in this sphere.

Local trainer Eric McNamara runs two and MY FRIEND THE WIND has the best chance of the pair. The biggest danger could be West Away

Narrowly denied over C&D by the reopposing Midnightattheoasis last month, with whom she is now 6lb better off, REBEL STAR has since gone close at Chelmsford and this represents an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Beaten a neck over C&D recently himself by Midnightattheoasis, Recon Mission is expected to be thereabouts, as well as Harb, who was third in that contest.

Maiden REBEL STAR is knocking firmly at the door and may be able to open her account. Recon Mission is second pick.

Having won over C&D from 3lb lower back in October, MISTYMAL has plenty going for him in this company and the return to Hereford could help iron out some of the jumping issues that have blighted his last couple of efforts. Cave Article stays well and rates the chief danger with cheekpieces added, although King Of Brazil has hinted at a revival of late and can also figure if coping with the step back up in trip.

Christian Williams may well hold the key with his runners CAVE ARTICLE and Side Stepper, while Mistymal is third on the list.

The progressive KING CHAOS rates the pick of this bunch after getting off the mark in a relatively cosy manner over 1m3f at Southwell in December. The son of Kingman did show signs of greenness in that race but eventually knuckled down to register a five-length success. Cadarn was readily brushed aside by the selection when they met in a novice stakes here on his latest appearance. With that in mind, the fully-exposed hat-trick seekers Molinari and Cusack could be the pair fighting it out for second.

Newmarket trainer George Boughey operates at a very healthy 21% strike-rate here and CADARN is taken to make a winning handicap debut.

Not the deepest of contests and previous experience could prove key to the chances of JOSH CENTRAL. Tom Weston's gelding was far from disgraced on his racecourse bow at Taunton last month and is likely to have learned plenty from that spin. The booking of Sean Bowen is perhaps the most notable factor of all. Call Me Legend has experience between the flags and it would come as no surprise were he to be involved, while Border Gem is noted too.

Ex-Irish pointer CALL ME LEGEND needs watching in the market but he's not highly tried on his debut. Josh Central can be next best.

GIVE HIM A CHANCE ran well on his handicap debut last month and looks the type who should better his rating. Placed in an ordinary good-ground point-to-point last April, he was well held in his initial hurdle runs but showed much improved form at Gowran, where a cumbersome landing at the last hindered progress. Flemens Intrest won here last week and, although raised 10lb for that success, is lightly raced so open to more progression. One And Only had a good winter campaign and has form on good ground.

The vote goes to FLEMENS INTREST, who won in the manner of a horse well ahead of the assessor over C&D nine days ago

ANCIENT STATE benefited from a drop to 5f and the application of a tongue-tie when getting off the mark at Wolverhampton, despite not making the best of starts. The extra furlong on this occasion shouldn't pose any issues for the son of Dandy Man, who remains open to further improvement. Rock Master is entitled to step forward from his Chelmsford return with cheekpieces swapped for blinkers. Royal Accord and Sunny Time complete the shortlist.

The way he's heading this term, ROYAL ACCORD (nap) looks set to open his account. Woodhay Whisper is second choice.

SINCHI ROCA made light work of the opposition on his only start in a point-to-point and followed up that smooth performance with a ready win in a Taunton bumper in February. The five-year-old is heading in the right direction and can defy the 7lb penalty. Getaway Vic carries the same burden for an equally taking performance on his Rules debut at Worcester, and he was far from disgraced when second at the same venue subsequently. Mighty Gesture and Windsor Blue complete the shortlist.

Getaway Vic and Windsor Blue have possibilities but SINCHI ROCA's career has started in a most promising fashion.

BRUCE BANNER has swapped yards twice since he won gamely at Kempton in January and appears to have been found a good opportunity to make a winning start for Rebecca Menzies. The son of Starspangledbanner has improved since being stepped up to middle distances and, with the likes of U S Grant and Bellator Bullet having shown very little to get excited about so far, this could be a straightforward task for the three-year-old.

On the face of it this looks an excellent opportunity for BRUCE BANNER to make a winning stable debut.

EMILY LOVE showed consistently useful point-to-point form before finishing third at this venue last month. She has form on fast ground between the flags and now has a race-fitness edge over some of her principal rivals. Amina ran well on debut at last summer's Galway Festival and will also appreciate good ground, while Knockarina has been off since disappointing in last year's race but had previously chased home the smart Familiar Dreams at Cork. Good Girl Kathleen showed useful point-to-point form, but is also long-absent.

Related to some smart types including Faugheen, a chance is taken on GOOD GIRL KATHLEEN to come out on top on her rules debut

BACKER BILK has been a model of consistency since beginning life in handicap company, which includes a victory here over 1m2f in February, and he's well respected. Spoilt proved her runner-up effort in maiden company wasn't a fluke when a decent fourth on handicap debut latest, and the extra furlong should help. Skyelight and Eva Dickson appear best of the remainder.

Another chance is given to EVA DICKSON who, judged on breeding, should do better still. Backer Bilk is a solid danger.

Georgecandoit and DOUBLE PARKED set the standard on the official ratings and while the former was consistent in a six-race campaign as a juvenile, the latter is less exposed and caught the eye with a close-up third-place finish in a maiden here last month. That run should have put an edge on the son of Bated Breath and his match-fitness could be the telling factor. Princess Pw appeals most from the rest with experience, while the debutants Four Fifty and Bin Ajwad merit betting checks.

Preference is for SHAMADOR, who was runner-up over C&D on last September's debut and has been gelded since his last run.

Noche Clasica, Naallat and Bun Bang Fai all make their respective debuts and each make a certain level of appeal although the former, a 100,000gns purchase, might prove the strongest. However, the vote goes to JOWDDAH. Roger Varian's filly, who hit the woodwork on each of her three starts as a juvenile, can count herself unfortunate given the horses she lost out to. She ought to have strengthened up over the winter though and if picking up from where she left off, looks to have every chance of recording an overdue maiden success.

The clear standard is set by three-time runner-up JOWDDAH. Newcomers Naallat (same owner) and Noche Clasica need a close check.

A competitive sprint in which only a tentative vote can be afforded to GRANT WOOD. Down the field in the Ayr Silver Cup in September, Paul Midgley's charge returned to action with a creditable second at Wolverhampton last month and is a real player off the same mark, especially given his favourable draw. Monks Dream was on target over 5f here last month and although 6lb higher, should appreciate a return to further. Solar Aclaim found steady progress in handicaps last season and he catches the eye back from a break, while others to note include Jungle Land and William Dewhirst.

Jessica Macey's horses are running well and JENEVER, who has a solid record here, earns the vote ahead of Monks Dream.

FRANCIS DRAKE was touched off by an improver on his handicap debut at Lingfield recently, but the son of Belardo is fancied to make amends and go one place better despite a 3lb rise. Snow Creek enters handicaps from a potentially workable mark and must enter calculations along with Sun Keeper, who hit the crossbar over 5f here last time out and is sure to appreciate the extra furlong today.

Having been caught in the final stride over 7f on his recent handicap debut at Lingfield, FRANCIS DRAKE (nap) is taken to go one better.

A highly promising second when not getting the clearest of runs over C&D last month on his first start for new connections, CUBAN FIESTA looks capable of breaking the maiden at the 12th time of asking. That may be at the main expense of Rooska, who was back to form with a strong runner-up effort over 7f here most recently. Impeach and Odd Socks Havana are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Having run well at Southwell three weeks ago, six-time course winner POP FAVORITE is taken to return to winning ways now back here.

A revelation on his first start for new connections when scoring comfortably over C&D last month, CORAMENTO is likely to have more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up off 4lb higher. Behind him on that occasion were the reopposing Wyvern (second) and Just Typical (third), who are well capable of being involved in proceedings once again. Not outside the first two on each of his last four starts, Urban Dandy cannot be ruled out either.

The lightly raced 4yo CORAMENTO made a successful handicap and stable debut here last time and can build on that.

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.
