13:15 Exeter Selling Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2.25/1 +0%) Symphorine	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(6) Symphorine 2.25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who showed promise at the start of her hurdle career. Her efforts in handicap company the last twice have been a little disappointing but she drops in grade here and should make a bold bid if a first-time visor has the desired effect.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 +10%) Happy Company	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Happy Company 9/1, Revived when belying odds of 40/1 in 2m Lingfield handicap in December but has rather lost his way since. Latest 23 lengths second in Fontwell handicap no real step back in right direction and others are preferred again.
3	4 3rd (4) (50/1 -150%) Dirk Gently	50 50/1(-150%)	(4) Dirk Gently 50/1, Little show in bumpers/over hurdles. This a drop in class but still hard to fancy. Visored first time.
4	7 4th (7) (150/1 -127%) Defferella	150 150/1(-127%)	(7) Defferella 150/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, including well held in Wolverhampton handicap for new yard in January. Others are preferred now hurdling.
5th	5 5th (5) (2.75/1 +63%) Fortune Cookie	2.75 2.75/1(+63%)	(5) Fortune Cookie 2.75/1, Has shown a bit when fourth in handicap hurdles at Leicester and Huntingdon on her last 2 outings. Won't need to take much of a step forward to play a prominent role here.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/1 -25%) Captain Jack	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Captain Jack 5/1, Back in form lately, finishing second in selling company at Stratford last time. Unlikely to be far away again.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (3.2/1 -60%) First Class Return	3.2 3.2/1(-60%)	(1) First Class Return 3.2/1, Perked up by a change of headgear (first-time blinkers) when making a winning return to hurdles in Wetherby seller last week. Prominent showing likely if in similar form.

LTO Selection:

First Class Return gained a first success over hurdles in a seller at Wetherby on Thursday and he is likely to be competitive along with Captain Jack, who has been running consistently well of late with a brace of placed efforts. The vote, though, goes to SYMPHORINE. Gary Moore's mare had shown promise in novice company earlier in the year and she could bounce back from her disappointing handicap efforts in a first-time visor.

If a visor works SYMPHORINE might be the answer to this seller as she holds good claims if recapturing the form she showed on her first 2 outings over hurdles. Last week's Wetherby scorer First Class Return may give her most to do.

It's surprising to see SYMPHORINE in a seller as she had shown some nice promise before getting stuck in the mud in her latest handicap

13:45 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7.5/1 +0%) King's Threshold	7.5 7.5/1(+0%)	(3) King's Threshold 7.5/1, Well held in bumpers but has shaped with promise when in the frame both starts over hurdles. Step up in trip will suit now handicapping but his opening mark could have been kinder.
2	1 2nd (1) (8.5/1 +29%) Bumpy Johnson	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(1) Bumpy Johnson 8.5/1, Fontwell bumper winner who opened his hurdles account following a second breathing op at Ffos Las (2½m) in February. Consistency not his strong suit but he shaped as if still in good form following a 4 lb rise at Doncaster (24.4f) since.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.33/1 +56%) Sporting Mike	3.33 3.33/1(+56%)	(4) Sporting Mike 3.33/1, Point winner who made a successful handicap debut in this sphere at Southwell (20.4f) in November. Shaped really well from 10 lb higher in his follow-up bid at Wetherby and looked back in form following a mini blip when fourth at Newbury (24.2f) 18 days ago. Not dismissed.
4	7 4th (7) (18/1 -29%) Exmoor Forest	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Exmoor Forest 18/1, Left previous efforts well behind on first run since leaving Ben Lund when third in 10-runner novice at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft, 200/1) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut and it remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.
5th	13 5th (13) (16/1 +60%) Arthalot	16 16/1(+60%)	(13) Arthalot 16/1, Fair on Flat but beaten a long way on his completed starts over hurdles in maiden/novice company and needed to see more on February's handicap debut. Difficult ask from 2 lb out of the weights.
6th	2 6th (2) (7.5/1 -36%) Riskintheground	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(2) Riskintheground 7.5/1, Has been a bit disappointing over hurdles given his earlier promise in bumpers, underperforming at Cheltenham and Ludlow prior to opening his account in a weak race at Fontwell (21.8f) 34 days ago. More required back in a handicap.
7th	8 7th (8) (3.5/1 +46%) Gingerbred	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(8) Gingerbred 3.5/1, Confirmed previous promise when winning a handicap here (18.5f) in February and returned to a similar level when third in 19f event at Taunton 22 days ago. Step up in trip likely to suit and must enter calculations.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -83%) Tikitov	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Tikitov 22/1, Finished runner-up for the fifth start in succession in 5-runner novice at Ludlow (21.2f) 19 days ago. Doesn't look obviously well treated on handicap debut.
9th	10 9th (10) (8.5/1 -6%) Saturday Song	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(10) Saturday Song 8.5/1, Placed on the first of his 2 starts in bumpers for Gary Brown and stepped up on his hurdling debut form after 19 months off when second in Uttoxeter maiden (15.7f) in January. Not seen to best effect back up in trip on his Doncaster handicap debut subsequently, so worth another chance.
10th	9 10th (9) (50/1 -100%) Commander Of Ten	50 50/1(-100%)	(9) Commander Of Ten 50/1, Has gone backwards from an encouraging hurdling debut/return in the autumn, albeit out of his depth on most recent outing. Has had another breathing operation ahead of this switch to handicaps and longer trip should suit, but his opening mark looks on the stiff side.
11th	11 11th (11) (14/1 -133%) Marmalaid	14 14/1(-133%)	(11) Marmalaid 14/1, From the family of Katchit and left her hurdles debut form behind when off the mark in a thin race at Ffos Las (20f) last spring. Shaped as if needing the run after 10 months off when second in another small-field novice at Plumpton 3 weeks ago and looks to have been allotted a fair opening mark.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (14/1 -87%) Bombay Sapphire	14 14/1(-87%)	(12) Bombay Sapphire 14/1, Fair bumper winner in Ireland. Yet to reach that level over hurdles, though again showed promise after 3 months off when fourth in 6-runner novice at Plumpton (20.5f) 29 days ago, fading only late. Into handicaps now in a refitted tongue strap and remains capable of better.

LTO Selection:

MARMALAID was no match for a useful mare of Fergal O'Brien's when returning from 10 months off at Plumpton last time and the manner of her finishing effort suggested the run was likely needed. Now making her handicap debut up in trip, the six-year-old is open to progression and is preferred over her stable companion Bombay Sapphire. Commander Of Ten is of interest following a wind operation, while others to note include Tikitov and King's Threshold.

An open-looking handicap but there's a strong argument that SPORTING MIKE has the best piece of form on offer. He was thwarted only by the progressive Santos Blue at Wetherby on Boxing Day and is sure to benefit from a return to around 2½m, so he's put forward as the answer. Gingerbred, Saturday Song and Marmalaid are a trio of others to consider.

This looks open. The suggestion is KING'S THRESHOLD, for whom this longer trip should be a big positive on his handicap debut.

14:00 Pontefract Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (2.2/1 +37%) Claritudo	2.2 2.2/1(+37%)	(8) Claritudo 2.2/1, Winner at Redcar (1¾m) in May. Ended last season with a good third there (1¾m, good to soft) in October. Contender if ready to roll after 6 months off.
2	9 2nd (9) (14/1 -17%) Big Cheese	14 14/1(-17%)	(9) Big Cheese 14/1, Showed fair form in 3 qualifying runs last year and his lightly-raced profile makes him an interesting one for handicaps. Respected.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -344%) Appier	10 10/1(-344%)	(1) Appier 10/1, Won his first 4 handicaps at the start of last summer and went in again at Newcastle in September. Ended the year with a couple of respectable efforts on AW. Can be very competitive off this mark but soft ground would be an unknown.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -11%) Tralee Hills	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Tralee Hills 10/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021 but there have been plenty of creditable efforts since then, including third close at Lingfield in January. Freshened up since a respectable fifth there at the end of that month. Handles soft turf well.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/1 +21%) The Nu Form Way	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) The Nu Form Way 11/1, Made winning start for this yard at Chester last July but largely struggled thereafter and watching brief is advised on this first outing since November.
6th	7 6th (7) (5.5/1 +0%) Highlighter	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(7) Highlighter 5.5/1, Unexposed sort who didn't make too bad a start in handicaps when fifth of 9 at Doncaster (1¼m, heavy) 10 days ago and is likely capable of better again now stepping up in trip. Big player under Ryan Sexton.
7th	4 7th (4) (8.5/1 +23%) Al Azhar	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(4) Al Azhar 8.5/1, Successful twice on turf at the start of last season, including reappearance. Ended 2023 on a low note but he's back on a favourable mark and is clearly capable when fresh. One of the more likely types.
8th	2 8th (2) (8.5/1 +74%) Myboymax	8.5 8.5/1(+74%)	(2) Myboymax 8.5/1, Has started 2023 on a low note but he's now back to the mark off which he gained the last of his 3 wins in 2022. Has a tongue tie refitted. Placed on both previous visits here. No shock were he to stage a revival.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/1 +50%) Tidal Storm	7 7/1(+50%)	(3) Tidal Storm 7/1, Successul over this trip on AW at Kempton last summer. Third on hurdle debut just after Christmas but ran poorly at Doncaster next time and now reverts to the Flat after 2 months off.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -100%) Virtuoso	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Virtuoso 40/1, Won a 1¾m Ffos Las handicap on soft for Andrew Balding last summer. Beaten a long way in 3 hurdles for current yard this year but may fare better back on the Flat with ground conditions likely to be in her favour.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of APPIER, who wasn't beaten far when last in action at Wolverhampton and his record on the grass makes for good reading. The son of Holy Roman Emperor gets the vote ahead of the unexposed Highlighter and Claritudo, who is 5lb above his last winning mark and should be suited by the drop in trip.

HIGHLIGHTER's pedigree suggests he could have more to offer now stepping up to 1½m so he's the suggestion. Fellow unexposed sort Big Cheese is an interesting opponent, particularly if the betting vibes are positive on his return to action. Claritudo hit the ground running last spring and also makes the shortlist.

A first crack at this stiff 1m4f might see 9yo TRALEE HILLS come to the fore. Claritudo and Highlighter are next on the list.

14:15 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (7/1 -8%) Kincardine	7 7/1(-8%)	(8) Kincardine 7/1, Landed 2m Newbury maiden hurdle last February before backing it up with good second over 2m4f there later in spring. However, stopped quickly both starts in handicaps this winter and hopes rest on a breathing op doing the trick. Headgear also on.
2	5 2nd (5) (8.5/1 -55%) General Medrano	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(5) General Medrano 8.5/1, Showed promise both starts in bumpers and much improved over hurdles when winning a Fontwell maiden in February, easing clear. Respectable third under a penalty later that month and now goes handicapping.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +56%) Maclaine	3.5 3.5/1(+56%)	(6) Maclaine 3.5/1, Made most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in a Fontwell novice (17.7f) in November. Ran below that level switched to a handicap at Doncaster next time and has since had a breathing operation/break.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 -14%) Gyenyame	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Gyenyame 4/1, Fair Flat winner for Andrew Balding who bagged 2m handicaps at Kempton and Ffos Las last summer. Acquired for 42,000gns after and he cranked it up a notch over hurdles with a dominant win in maiden company from the front at Wincanton a month ago. More to come in handicaps.
5th	1 5th (1) (6.5/1 +28%) Midnight Ginger	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(1) Midnight Ginger 6.5/1, Likeable mare who added to her tally in 2m Newbury handicap on New Year's Eve. Shaped as though in reasonable nick both outings since and just 1 lb above that winning mark.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 -133%) Bannister	28 28/1(-133%)	(9) Bannister 28/1, Dual 2m winner of Worcester handicaps in the summer but ended 2022 in disappointing fashion and his jumping is now a concern.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 -136%) Jolly Nellerie	33 33/1(-136%)	(10) Jolly Nellerie 33/1, Showed fairly useful form on all 3 starts over hurdles in France last summer, winning a juvenile at Aix-Les-Bains in between a pair of runner-up efforts. Stopped as though amiss on British debut 3 weeks ago but turned out quite quickly switched to a handicap.
8th	12 8th (12) (28/1 -56%) Haloa Mail	28 28/1(-56%)	(12) Haloa Mail 28/1, Caused an upset in 9-runner maiden at Newton Abbot in July. Off the track since but retains potential at this level.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 -164%) Platinumcard	66 66/1(-164%)	(7) Platinumcard 66/1, Ayr winner (16f) a year ago starting out for Gordon Elliott but more miss than hit for that yard after and made a low-key stable debut fitted with cheekpieces in November.
10th	13 10th (13) (150/1 -127%) Saintemilion	150 150/1(-127%)	(13) Saintemilion 150/1, Last of 6 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, soft, 80/1) 16 days ago on return from 2 years off. This will reveal more.
11th	4 11th (4) (4/1 +47%) Le Patron	4 4/1(+47%)	(4) Le Patron 4/1, Winner in France and shaped well when second on stable debut in December. Failed to build on that twice since at Plumpton but it's still early days and yard in superb form.
12th	3 12th (3) (11/1 +8%) Gentle Connections	11 11/1(+8%)	(3) Gentle Connections 11/1, Won 4 maiden/novice events between April and June last year. Not up to graded level at Chepstow in October and ran poorly back in calmer waters there later in the month. Returns from a break with something to prove minus cheekpieces.
13th	11 13th (11) (25/1 +0%) Gregor	25 25/1(+0%)	(11) Gregor 25/1, Fairly promising as a novice in 2021 but off 16 months and little promise all 3 starts in handicaps to end 2022 for Dan Skelton.

LTO Selection:

GYENYAME ran out an easy winner when getting off the mark at Wincanton on his third attempt over hurdles and the five-year-old is entitled to improve again on his handicap debut. Gentle Connections remains open to progression dropped back in trip, having run up a sequence of four wins in the spring/early summer of last year, while General Medrano and Maclaine appeal most of the remainder.

GYENYAME took a while to come to hand on the level but he needed just 3 attempts to get off the mark over hurdles, value for extra to boot at Wincanton last month and on that evidence, this opening mark should be within range. Le Patron and Midnight Ginger head the opposition.

Jolly Nellerie comes into it on his French form but GYENYAME has taken well to hurdles and can add to his Wincanton win last month.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +50%) Indian Falcon	7 7/1(+50%)	(4) Indian Falcon 7/1, 25/1, never involved on 6f Redcar debut last August. Desert Games looks the yard first string unless the betting hints otherwise.
2	9 2nd (9) (10/1 +0%) William Dewhirst	10 10/1(+0%)	(9) William Dewhirst 10/1, 6/1, fourth of 8 in 6f novice at Newcastle on debut 18 days ago, running on after slowish start. Will improve.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 -113%) Snuggle	4 4/1(-113%)	(7) Snuggle 4/1, Much improved when second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) on reappearance in February but not in the same form when turned over at short odds in novice company at Newcastle 19 days later. Bang there if back to the Lingfield form, though.
4	2 4th (2) (1.38/1 +27%) Desert Games	1.38 1.38/1(+27%)	(2) Desert Games 1.38/1, Promising start to career when third on AW last August and little went right when fifth of 9 over C&D a fortnight later. Remains capable of better and likely to have a big say.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 -18%) Shotley Royale	33 33/1(-18%)	(6) Shotley Royale 33/1, Hot Streak half-brother to several winners, including useful 5f winner March and 7f-8.6f winner Mykonos St John. Stable not known for winning newcomers but is enjoying a good spell at present so he's worth a precautionary betting check.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +44%) Whalley Road	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) Whalley Road 9/1, Dandy Man gelding. Half-brother to 5f/6f winner Springwood Drive and useful winner up to 6f Bickerstaffe. Makes some paper appeal and very interesting to see how much strength there is behind him in the betting.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 -9%) Raven's Applause	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) Raven's Applause 12/1, 50,000 gns Acclamation gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners abroad, including US 6f minor stakes winner Conformist. Dam US 6f winner. Betting should help guide to expectations on debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (150/1 +25%) Blame The Farrier	150 150/1(+25%)	(1) Blame The Farrier 150/1, Modest in bumpers and no form over hurdles. Never involved on last month's 7f Flat debut. Easy to look elsewhere.
9th	3 9th (3) (7/1 +13%) Global Crisis	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Global Crisis 7/1, 16/1, showed a bit amidst greenness when fourth of 13 on 5f Beverley debut last July. It's taken a while to get him back to the track but he should have more to offer, particularly at 6f.

LTO Selection:

SNUGGLE may be a maiden through five starts but he sets a decent standard, and his most recent effort at Newcastle pointed towards him needing to go back up in distance. Desert Games showed promise on both outings last year and he looks to be the chief threat, ahead of the newcomers Raven's Applause and Whalley Road, who should be monitored for market support.

Although DESERT GAMES failed to build on his promising AW debut when only fifth over C&D last autumn there were excuses and he's well worth another chance. Snuggle would be a big threat if anywhere near his peak form. Whalley Road is a newcomer who catches the eye on pedigree and could play a part if the betting vibes are positive.

The Richard Fahey-trained DESERT GAMES showed promise on the first of his two 2yo starts and is taken to make a winning return.

7	7 (7) (1.88/1 +84%) Aces Full	1.88 1.88/1(+84%)	(7) Aces Full 1.88/1, Modest form at best in Ireland for Patrick Breen and, easy to back, showed nothing on back of 16 months off when pulled up at Stratford 919.5f) in October. Absent again since and can only be watched unless market spoke in his favour.
1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 +44%) Investment Manager	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(1) Investment Manager 4.5/1, Fair winner at 21.5f over hurdles but hasn't really built on his promising chase debut effort at Ffos Las in the autumn in trio of subsequent outings, pulled up on latest outing at that venue in February. However, does come here with yard in better form.
2	5 2nd (5) (6.5/1 +54%) Blue Ribbon	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(5) Blue Ribbon 6.5/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner for Dr Richard Newland in 2021 but been below his best upon returning from a lengthy absence over fences for his new yard so far this year. Others possess more compelling claims.
3	3 3rd (3) (28/1 +15%) Fanfan La Colmine	28 28/1(+15%)	(3) Fanfan La Colmine 28/1, Offered minor promise in novice/maiden hurdles but never kicked on in handicaps thereafter during early 2021. Likely best watched now chasing for new yard on the back of a lengthy absence.
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 +14%) Eros	3 3/1(+14%)	(8) Eros 3/1, Has been placed on 5 of his 6 starts this season, again going close despite the drop in trip when runner-up at Warwick (16.2f) 3 weeks ago, untidy last and rallying final 100 yds. 2 lb higher now but he's a definite player nevertheless.
5th	2 5th (2) (6.5/1 +24%) Electric Annie	6.5 6.5/1(+24%)	(2) Electric Annie 6.5/1, Dual winner of mares' handicap hurdles at Wincanton for Jack Barber during 2021/22 season. Yet to scale same heights in handful of chase/hurdle starts for present yard though and cheekpieces/tongue tie go on ahead of return to chasing.
6th	11 6th (11) (9/1 +50%) Baily Gorse	9 9/1(+50%)	(11) Baily Gorse 9/1, Long-standing maiden who ran best race for some time when runner-up over 3m here 12 months ago but never threatened either start thereafter and others make greater appeal returning from 10 months off.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (18/1 -29%) Professor Calculus	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Professor Calculus 18/1, Found a bit of improvement in a first-time visor to get off the mark in 12-runner Taunton handicap hurdle (19f) in February. Headgear failed to have same effect back at that venue last month and didn't convince with his jumping on sole previous chase try.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (2.75/1 +8%) Shutthegate	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(9) Shutthegate 2.75/1, Left previous form over fences well behind (in first-time blinkers) when scoring comfortably at Chepstow (19.5f) 23 days ago, in control when left clear last. Remains low-mileage in this sphere and a repeat gives him sound claims again.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (22/1 +12%) Dannystory	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Dannystory 22/1, Runner-up on final outing in points but little form under Rules, jumping none too fluently when well held sixth of 9 on chase debut at Fontwell (21.6f) in February. Engaged 5.18 Plumpton Monday.

LTO Selection:

SHUTTHEGATE was a decisive winner of his latest start at Chepstow in first-time blinkers when making his debut for Henry Oliver, and it would be no surprise if the nine-year-old were able to back that performance up. Eros nearly shed his maiden tag when beaten a neck at Warwick and he is capable of another decent showing. Professor Calculus may have been inconvenienced by a quick turnaround at Taunton under a penalty and is better judged on his success at the same venue a week earlier.

SHUTTHEGATE left his previous chase exploits in his wake when scoring comfortably in first-time blinkers at Chepstow (19.4f) 23 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more. Eros is proving to be a model of consistency and is feared stepping back up in trip, whilst it would come as no surprise to see a better showing from Investment Manager back from a short break.

If INVESTMENT MANAGER can shrug aside his latest disappointment he may provide the answer.

2	4 2nd (4) (0.53/1 +27%) Coquelicot	0.53 0.53/1(+27%)	(4) Coquelicot 0.53/1, Fairly useful winner at up to 3m over hurdles and career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 6 days ago, forging clear.

3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +0%) Ghadbbaan	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Ghadbbaan 10/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. 12/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at York (16.2f) from out of the weights a fortnight later. Won on last season's reappearance.
4	6 4th (6) (4/1 +38%) Flint Hill	4 4/1(+38%)	(6) Flint Hill 4/1, C&D winner, latest win here in October. 5/1, third of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 48 days ago. Merits consideration given he's a regular at this venue and usually gives his running.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -20%) Military Two Step	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) Military Two Step 12/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year, latterly at Chelmsford in November. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 6/1) 27 days ago and now tries a new trip returned to turf.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +29%) Land Of Winter	10 10/1(+29%)	(1) Land Of Winter 10/1, Ended 2021 with an emphatic win in 2m Nottingham handicap but has found life tougher last campaign, sixth of 8 in minor event at this C&D (good to soft) final start in October. This represents a slight drop in class.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -75%) The Navigator	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) The Navigator 28/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (17.4f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Fitness assured but has to prove stamina for this far on the level.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 -136%) Detective	66 66/1(-136%)	(3) Detective 66/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Pulled up in handicap chase at Musselburgh on debut over fences 41 days ago. Significantly up in trip on previous Flat outings and stamina isn't certain.

LTO Selection:

A taking winner at Nottingham last week, COQUELICOT is turned out again quickly under a 4lb penalty and there is every reason to suggest that she can improve for the extra two furlongs. Ground conditions are also in her favour and she should have too much for course specialist Flint Hill and Ghadbbaan, who is interesting on his return having won first time out last season.

COQUELICOT relished the emphasis on stamina when a decisive winner at Nottingham last week and with this further step up in trip sure to suit (has winning hurdles form over 3m) a 4 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Flint Hill is a regular over this C&D and he's likely to give it a good go, with Champagne City another to consider.

If last week's win at Nottingham has not taken anything out of her, COQUELICOT (nap) can score again. Flint Hill likes it here.

1	11 1st (11) (11/1 +8%) Kingsmill Gin	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) Kingsmill Gin 11/1, Now just 1 lb above the mark off which she gained breakthrough success over fences in December 2021 but largely below par this season (often let down by her jumping) and 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights here.
2	7 2nd (7) (1.75/1 +42%) Haldon Hill	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(7) Haldon Hill 1.75/1, Opened chase account in November and firmly back on track upped in trip with cheekpieces enlisted the last twice, landing handicaps at Ffos Las (3m) and Taunton (27f). 5 lb rise for latest success could have been worse and he's a must for the shortlist.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 -13%) No Hubs No Hoobs	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) No Hubs No Hoobs 9/1, Proved better than ever when landing a 25f handicap chase at Wincanton on Boxing Day. He is not a model of consistency, though, and made very hard work of things when third over the same C&D last time.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -150%) Sandy Boy	40 40/1(-150%)	(5) Sandy Boy 40/1, Successful off 6 lb higher at Uttoxeter in November 2021 but has shown precious little in 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in February.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 +56%) Marettimo	22 22/1(+56%)	(2) Marettimo 22/1, Bagged a trio of handicap chases at up to 3m last season, the latest off a 5 lb lower mark at Ffos Las 12 months ago. However, nowhere near that level in a handful of appearances this time round.
6th	4 6th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) King Turgeon	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(4) King Turgeon 4.5/1, Placed both starts over fences in France and while he completely misfired on debut for new connections here in January, he got back on track following a wind op when scoring at Fontwell (21.6f, soft) last month. 3 lb rise fair and shapes as though this trip will be within range.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (3.33/1 +33%) The Macon Lugnatic	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(1) The Macon Lugnatic 3.33/1, Best effort for a while when runner-up over 30.7f here (good) in February but record stands at 0-9 over fences and, moreover, he's by no means certain to be in the same form this time.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (12/1 +40%) Mormon	12 12/1(+40%)	(6) Mormon 12/1, Stepped up on previous efforts for this yard when fourth in a 9-runner handicap chase at Chepstow but merely passed beaten horses without ever looking a serious threat. 0-12 over fences and likely to find a few too good once more.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (14/1 -75%) Henschke	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Henschke 14/1, Good start over fences following a second wind op when runner-up at Hereford in January and went one better over 21f at Ffos Las later that month. Has failed to complete the last twice, though, and now tried in cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

Haldon Hill arrives on a hat-trick after wins over similar trips to this at Ffos Las and Taunton last month and should go well again. However, a 5lb rise for his latest success leaves him with no margin for error and slight preference is for KING TURGEON, for whom the penny dropped when scoring with authority over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell 34 days ago. He was doing his best work at the finish that day and this extra yardage could help him defy a 3lb rise. The Macon Lugnatic was second over further latest and completes the shortlist.

KING TURGEON was full value for his Fontwell win and could have more to offer. He gets the vote over the hat-trick seeking Haldon Hill and Monday's Huntingdon-scorer Head And Heart.

This is very open. HALDON HILL is unbeaten in staying races and he might be a hard horse for the handicapper to nail.

Was seen to good effect on that occasion but he's equally as effective on turf and can be tough to peg back if getting into a rhythm.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -64%) Arecibo	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) Arecibo 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021 but couldn't have come much closer when short-head second of 7 to Live In The Dream in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 17 days ago, just failing. Looks competitive on form.
3	1 3rd (1) (7.5/1 +32%) Dakota Gold	7.5 7.5/1(+32%)	(1) Dakota Gold 7.5/1, Fifteen wins from 55 Flat runs. 13/2, didn't need to improve for latest of them in 6-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) when last seen, battling well. Off 172 days and record fresh suggests he may just need this.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 +52%) Copper Knight	16 16/1(+52%)	(8) Copper Knight 16/1, 14/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy) when last seen in October. Still retains plenty of dash/enthusiasm but no surprise were he to need this.
5th	9 5th (9) (2/1 +60%) Ey Up It's Maggie	2 2/1(+60%)	(9) Ey Up It's Maggie 2/1, Won 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 6/4) 9 days ago. Carries penalty and also 3 lb out of the weights but fit and in form, which may count for a lot.
6th	5 6th (5) (28/1 -133%) Justanotherbottle	28 28/1(-133%)	(5) Justanotherbottle 28/1, Admirable 9-y-o who enhanced his fine course record at Ripon when successful there in June. Mixed bag after and little to suggest in previous reappearance runs that he'll be fully up to speed.
7th	6 7th (6) (4.5/1 -50%) King Of Bavaria	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(6) King Of Bavaria 4.5/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (6f) 56 days ago. Hasn't been with this yard long but does need to improve to defy this mark.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 +45%) Intrinsic Bond	18 18/1(+45%)	(7) Intrinsic Bond 18/1, Dual winner last season, including in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon (6f) in August. Didn't look comfortable on heavy ground on reappearance last week and now back at the minimum trip.

LTO Selection:

The key to this race could be the recent clash between LIVE IN THE DREAM (first) and Arecibo (second) at Lingfield, and it is the former who is taken to come out on top again. Adam West's charge was a progressive sprinter last season and he should appreciate the return to turf as he looks to see off the likes of King Of Bavaria and the classy Dakota Gold.

The market will be informative with several of these making their reappearance but CLARENDON HOUSE was an excellent second first-time-out last season and having been highly tried as a 4-y-o, he has an appealing mark to work with. Live In The Dream and Arecibo finished first and second at Lingfield recently and are definite threats, while Ey Up It's Maggie demands consideration, even from out of the weights.

The front-running LIVE IN THE DREAM was better than ever on his reappearance at Lingfield and can follow up from stall two.

1	4 1st (4) (2.12/1 +29%) Ioupy Collonges	2.12 2.12/1(+29%)	(4) Ioupy Collonges 2.12/1, Bumper winner in November and stepped up on hurdles debut second here when landing a Chepstow maiden in good style (19.4f, good to soft). Turned over when odds-on for handicap bow at Taunton since but this 5-y-o remains of interest and may well benefit from this step up in trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -8%) Ballymagroarty Boy	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(6) Ballymagroarty Boy 6.5/1, Sole success to date was gained in a Haydock handicap hurdle back in December 2018 but appears to retain plenty of ability judged on placed efforts on last 5 starts in this sphere. Probably vulnerable for win purposes but likely to give another good account all the same.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 -27%) Come On Gruff	14 14/1(-27%)	(3) Come On Gruff 14/1, Dual winner last term and stepped up on low-key reappearance when a close third in a 10-runner Kempton handicap (24.5f. soft) in November. Absent since and more needed here up 2 lb but he still has low mileage.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 +0%) Miss Fairfax	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Miss Fairfax 14/1, Fairly useful novice hurdler around 3m last term, landing the odds in a C&D maiden before following up in a weak Catterick novice. Ended that campaign with a respectable third in a listed race at Doncaster but she was well held on belated reappearance/handicap bow at Newbury 18 days ago.
5th	10 5th (10) (11/1 +8%) Snipe	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Snipe 11/1, Duly landed the odds in a 2¾m Ffos Las maiden back from a break in February. Subsequent Cheltenham handicap bow was disappointing and while he's probably worth another chance, others make more appeal on this occasion.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 +29%) So Said I	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) So Said I 10/1, Off the mark in a C&D mares' novice last term and went on to bag handicaps at Ludlow and Newbury. Understandably looked in need of the run back from 13 months off at Chepstow and this run should reveal more.
7th	9 7th (9) (4.5/1 +10%) Ballydisco	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(9) Ballydisco 4.5/1, Maiden Irish pointer who appeared to improve for the step up to 3m at Ffos Las (heavy) where he forced a dead-heat with a bang in-form rival in The Imposter (successful again since). 5 lb rise tolerable and he needs considering.
8th	12 8th (12) (22/1 +45%) Raddon Top	22 22/1(+45%)	(12) Raddon Top 22/1, Landed hat-trick of handicap hurdles here last term and built on promising chasing debut when landing an 8-runner handicap back at this course (3m, heavy) in January. Subsequent efforts have been poor, though, and now has a bit to prove.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (6/1 +20%) Gerico Ville	6 6/1(+20%)	(8) Gerico Ville 6/1, Good second to Ramo (winner again since) at Plumpton last month and has hit the target either side of that, digging deep when landing the odds back at Plumpton (25f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Nudged up just 2 lb for that and further progress is possible.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (16/1 +20%) Biowavego	16 16/1(+20%)	(11) Biowavego 16/1, Won a Uttoxeter maiden in the summer and struck at the second time of asking in handicaps at Worcester (23f, heavy) in October. However, needs to bounce back having flopped at Southwell next time.

LTO Selection:

Come On Gruff went close over the extended 3m at Kempton when last seen in November but preference is for the match-fit IOUPY COLLONGES, who followed a facile maiden victory by chasing home a progressive sort on his handicap debut over 2m3f at Taunton last month. There should be more to come from the Paul Nicholls-trained five-year-old and he is taken to bounce back, although Gerico Ville has only gone up 2lb for his recent Plumpton success and rates a serious threat.

This is tougher than the Plumpton handicap GERICO VILLE landed last month but he is clearly progressing and could still be on a handy mark having gone up just 2 lb. Next on the list is Ioupy Collonges, who brings potential to the table now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Ballydisco has to be feared judged on his improved effort at Ffos Las where he shared the spoils with a prolific and progressive rival, while Hauraki Gulf, another making his handicap bow, also merits respect.

Ioupy Collonges will be popular over this longer trip and is the most likely improver, but BALLYDISCO (nap) is no less progressive.

6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 -18%) Revision	10 10/1(-18%)	(6) Revision 10/1, Confirmed debut promise when successful over this trip at Newcastle in June. 33/1, very good third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 34 days ago, having run of race but stuck to his task after getting hampered. Fitness assured.
7th	7 7th (7) (4.5/1 -29%) Amy Santiago	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(7) Amy Santiago 4.5/1, Promising type. Winner at Southwell in February. 12/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 34 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Cheekpieces on first time and mark looks attractive.

LTO Selection:

Richard Fahey has won five of the last eight renewals of this contest so his Amy Santiago must be considered, having run well enough in defeat when bidding for a double off 1lb lower at Kempton last month. Project Black created a good impression when winning at Redcar and going very close at Newcastle late last year and an opening mark of 81 looks workable, but preference is for PRAIRIE FALCON. The Michael Dods-trained colt won a good contest at Ayr off 5lb lower before a fine effort in a valuable sales race at Newmarket in October, and should go close if fully wound up for his return. Dods also saddles Phoenix Fire, who hacked up in a 7f novice event at Redcar in November and makes his handicap bow off a feasible mark of 80.

AMY SANTIAGO finished behind Revision at Kempton a month ago but she had little chance given how that race unfolded and is fancied to reverse the form this time back on turf. Prairie Falcon should have plenty more to offer this season so he completes the shortlist.

Preference is for REVISION, who did very well to rally for third at Kempton last month having been hampered.

LTO Selection:

SHANTOU FLYER defied his advancing years with another fine effort when third in the hunters' chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Olive Nicholls has formed a good partnership with the 13-year-old gelding and the pair could be hard to beat now eased in class. Dandy Dan pulled up in that same contest last month but has claims on the pick of his form, while Singapore Saga built on a couple of point-to-point victories when scoring over this C&D 16 days ago and the eight-year-old can have her say again.

SHANTOU FLYER may be 13 but a placed effort in the premier hunter chase of the season at last month's Cheltenham Festival shows he still retains plenty of ability and enthusiasm and he can prove too strong for last month's C&D scorer Singapore Saga. Dandy Dan failed to figure behind the selection at Cheltenham but should make more of an impact in this less competitive environment.

Singapore Saga is in fine form but the forecast rain will be a big help to SHANTOU FLYER who was an excellent third at the Festival.

LTO Selection:

LEGACY POWER cost 400,000gns and shaped like he would soon be winning a contest like this when second over 1m4f at Lingfield on debut in February, despite running very green. Andrew Balding's well-related colt should come on for that and his experience could give him the edge over Sir Michael Stoute-trained newcomers Crystal Mariner (cost 160,000gns) and Perfuse. King Sharja displayed some promise over 1m at York in October and is expected to have more to offer now upped to 1m2f.

LEGACY POWER's greenness was apparent starting out at Lingfield in February so it was promising that he managed to finish second, and with improvement forthcoming, he rates the percentage call. Sir Michael Stoute saddles a pair of well-bred newcomers in Crystal Mariner and Perfuse and the market may help in establishing a pecking order.

This could go to the newcomer CRYSTAL MARINER, who hails from a fine family his trainer Sir Michael Stoute has done very well with.

15th	16 15th (16) (66/1 -32%) Top Attraction	66 66/1(-32%)	(16) Top Attraction 66/1, Temperamental sort. One win from 23 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago. Something to find on form.

LTO Selection:

A tricky puzzle for punters to solve and only a tentative vote goes to BARNEY'S BAY, who was doing his best work at the finish when narrowly held off 1lb lower over 7f at Southwell 11 days ago. He should relish this extra furlong. The Vik was last seen winning over this distance at Killarney in October and the top-weight warrants respect on his first start for Liam Bailey, while Dougies Dream also bids for a double after landing a 1m contest at Newcastle last month.

An open finale. BARNEY'S BAY hasn't won for a while but his latest Southwell second suggests he could put that right soon and he also has a few good efforts to his name here. Agonyclite, a winner at Newcastle recently, and Irish-recruit The Vik have less-exposed profiles than the majority of these and head the dangers along with Win Win Power, who has thrived since joining Mick Appleby, and Dougies Dream.

The lightly raced 4yo AGONYCLITE won at Newcastle (AW) last month on his first crack at 1m and earns the vote ahead of Mr Strutter.

LTO Selection:

Paddy Twomey introduced a smart looking debutant winner at Cork on Saturday so market vibes regarding newcomer VANITY PAYS will be interesting. In general, stable debutants tend to come on from the experience but there was plenty of confidence behind the weekend winner. Vanity Pays is a half-sister to a French horse who was good enough to pick up blacktype on his juvenile debut. Brighter also boasts a decent pedigree being related to a filly that won her first two starts as a two-year-old. If ready for this assignment, then she is unlikely to be far away. Love Ya catches the eye as a full-sister to the Listed filly Loveday. The latter picked up her blacktype at this track so that in itself can be regarded as a positive.

Paddy Twomey struck with his first 2-y-o runner of the season at Cork on Saturday and VANITY PAYS is a likely-looking type for the yard. She fetched 100,000 gns as a yearling and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour. Ballydoyle representative Brighter is of obvious appeal and, needless to say, it will also be noteworthy if there's confidence behind her in the betting. Ally Pally and Love Ya are others who make some appeal on paper.

The eyes are naturally drawn towards BRIGHTER, whose powerhouse yard has introduced some top-notch 2yos at this venue.

6th	6 6th (6) (80/1 -100%) Pink Walls	80 80/1(-100%)	(6) Pink Walls 80/1, Looks limited on early evidence. Significantly up in trip.

LTO Selection:

Margaret Beaufort arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having proved too strong for SECRET CONTACT (second) when the pair met over this C&D on Saturday. However, with George Scott's filly carrying a 6lb penalty, there is every chance the latter can reverse that form to gain her first victory. Fox Flame is capable of being in the mix with the step up in trip potentially in his favour.

SECRET CONTACT and Margaret Beaufort were separated by only half a length over C&D 3 days ago, so on 6 lb better terms, the former is taken to gain her revenge and come out on top. Damascus Steel appeals as the type to do better now tackling a low-grade handicap over a markedly longer trip and requires a market check.

A quick rematch between MARGARET BEAUFORT and Secret Contact, who were first and second over C&D on Saturday.

LTO Selection:

CARA SUSANNA could be a well treated filly now that she steps into handicap company for the first time. The Dermot Weld-trained four-year-old showed fair form in two maiden runs over a mile last term before catching the eye over this trip on her final start. While lack of experience is an obvious concern, she is bred to be much better than this class and could have too much ability. Bring Us Paradise made a pleasing reappearance when fourth here last month. A former course and distance winner, the Zoffany gelding is still quite high in the ratings but shouldn't be too far away. Dalvey has been running well all winter in stronger grades than this one, so is another that looks capable of going very close.

Fit from a spell over hurdles, BOOLA BOOLA wasn't seen to best effect making his handicap debut in this sphere when midfield over the extended 10f trip here 11 days ago and, unexposed granted this sort of test, he could well be worth chancing to build on that now. Cara Susanna rates a likely improver now handicapping this term and along with the thriving Celtic Revival, heads up the dangers.

A wide draw is worrying but SUPREME LAW has the ability to win this if Jamie Powell can get him into a good early position.

LTO Selection:

DUKE OF OXFORD made a pleasing start when scoring at Chelmsford last month and the extra couple of furlongs might yield some improvement, with his dam being a Group 3 winner over this distance. Captain Potter finished second over 1m2f on his racecourse bow at Newcastle and he is capable of being in the mix along with Postergal, who is related to some useful stayers.

The one who appeals most is CAPTAIN POTTER, who couldn't match strides with an experienced stablemate at Newcastle last week but he in turn pulled nicely clear of the rest and improvement is on the cards. The Johnston yard is also represented by Grain of Hope but she will be of greater interest in handicaps in due course. Bigger threats are likely to be posed by Postergal, who shaped with encouragement at Lingfield recently, and Chelmsford debut winner Duke of Oxford.

Having caught the eye when clear second to a stablemate at Newcastle last week, CAPTAIN POTTER can go one better here.

LTO Selection:

RED RIDING HOOD should appreciate the better surface having been a beaten favourite on heavy ground at Naas on her reappearance. A very promising second at Ascot on her debut last term, she was sent off at odds-on to collect on her return but was outgunned by a stablemate. This looks a nice opportunity for the daughter of Justify to get her head in front. A Moment Like This made a pleasing racecourse debut at Leopardstown as a juvenile but failed to back that up at Down Royal after. Something was clearly amiss on that latter occasion as she failed to see the track after. If back to her best, the Galileo filly looks a big threat. Shamwari looks best of the newcomers so any market moves in her favour should be noted.

RED RIDING HOOD showed plenty when runner-up in an Ascot novice on her sole 2-y-o start, and again when just touched off by a highly promising stablemate in a 1m Navan maiden recently. Armed with plenty of big-race entries, this well-bred filly will benefit from moving up in trip here and is confidently expected to make it third time lucky. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained duo, A Moment Like This and Nunca, may well fill the places, though Shamwari is worth a second look, too.

Some interesting newcomers but none have big-race entries and RED RIDING HOOD will be very hard to beat with a run under her belt

LTO Selection:

Despite showing signs of inexperience, TAJAWAL shaped with a fair amount of promise on his first start when runner-up at Kempton in December. The penny seemed to be dropping in the closing stages on that occasion and the son of Frankel is fancied to go one better today. Wonder Legend was no match for an easy winner at Kempton in February, but he has shown more than enough to be competitive along with Mr Buster, who is bred to improve when stepping up in trip.

MR BUSTER, Wonder Legend and Tajawal all appeal as the types to be winning races before long. Preference however is for the first named, who finished ahead of 2 subsequent winners when third at Kempton at the end of October and should make a much better 3-y-o.

After learning on the job, TAJAWAL stuck to his task very well in the closing stages of his debut and lost out only by a neck.

LTO Selection:

ROYAL TRIBUTE and Feature This are very closely matched on a couple of recent outings over this C&D with slight preference given to the James McAuley-trained gelding. The selection won twice here over seven furlongs last year and has gone close on a number of occasions since joining current connections after winning a claimer last December. He didn't enjoy the clearest of passages last time when going down by a neck to Miss Abby Jools. Feature This won here over the mile in January and has held her form well since. Double Martini held a rating in the 70s a few years back, while Boadicea Belle and Deuteronomy are others to consider.

ROYAL TRIBUTE was probably an unlucky loser over C&D last time given he came up a neck short having been denied a clear run so compensation may well await. Feature This finished fourth in that aforementioned race and can give it another good go, with Boadicea Belle another to consider.

This is wide open but ROYAL TRIBUTE earns top marks for consistency and he threatened here last time from a much wider stall.

Off 9 months ahead of this tapeta debut/first run for yard after leaving A. S. Cruz. Three-time winner with Gay Kelleway in early days but best watched here.

LTO Selection:

GIVE A LITTLE BACK ran on well to score over C&D on his latest start when tackling this distance for the first time and the four-year-old may well have more to offer, despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Goldsmith was third at Lingfield when attempting to land the hat-trick last month and appears likely to pose the most obvious threat, while any market support for Global Spectrum should be noted.

GOLDSMITH has turned the corner since joining this yard, bagging back-to-back Lingfield handicaps during the winter and shaping better than the bare result back from a break when third there 13 days ago. He clearly remains in top form and should prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark, provided he proves as effective on this surface. Give A Little Back is also in good heart but Carey Street has dipped to an attractive mark and rates the main danger.

Connections have found the key to GIVE A LITTLE BACK (nap), who wears a hood now and won when upped to this trip last month.

Dam 5f (including King's Stand Stakes) to 7f winner. Holds some fancy entries and he's a newcomer to note.

Yard can ready a newcomer and he's one to note in the betting on debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (3.5/1 +30%) Pearl Of Australia	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(7) Pearl Of Australia 3.5/1, Australia colt who showed race-by-race progress in trio of starts last summer, good third in 12-runner Listowel maiden (7f) in September. Feasible to think he can do better again this campaign.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -32%) Shamastar	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Shamastar 66/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 10 in maiden at this course (6f, 28/1) on debut. Off 160 days and this should reveal more.
7th	9 7th (9) (200/1 -100%) Curzon Queen	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Curzon Queen 200/1, Once-raced filly. Fourteenth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 25/1) on debut 17 days ago, very slowly away.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 +80%) Cristo Redentor	20 20/1(+80%)	(5) Cristo Redentor 20/1, Slade Power gelding. 66/1, thirteenth of 20 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on debut 17 days ago, fading under 2f out. Likely he can come on for that run but he's probably one for further down the line.

LTO Selection:

CHANGE SINGS appeals on pedigree and any market move for the son of Saxon Warrior would be significant. He cost 540,000 euro as a yearling at the Goffs Orby Sale and is a half-brother to ten winners notably the multiple Group 1 winner Halfway To Heaven. The selection still holds entries in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and Derby. Tanaiyla is the most experienced in the line-up filling the runner-up spot on debut behind Aesop's Fables at Navan and again behind Skip James over C&D last autumn. Broadhurst showed plenty of promise on debut at Navan last May but was then absent until reappearing on testing ground at the Curragh last month. Pearl Of Australia progressed nicely in three starts last term and is another to consider.

CHANGE SINGS makes plenty of appeal and represents a good yard so, with some fancy entries to his name, he could be worth chancing to come out on top on racecourse debut without the benefit of market clues. Broadhurst had excuses on his return at the Curragh 17 days ago and very much remains with potential so is feared most, ahead of Tanaiyla and Pearl of Australia.

Paddy Twomey has started the season well and Change Sings, who holds Classic entries, might be another winner for him

Entitled to have sharpened up for that and her mark is a workable one on balance.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 +0%) Angelic Divas	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Angelic Divas 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 32 days ago, staying on final 1f. That was her first start for 7 months and another who may well be sharper here.

LTO Selection:

SHE'S CENTIMENTAL has put together quite the record since beginning her career and there is every reason to suggest that she can bring up the hat-trick. A mark of 77 on her handicap debut looks feasible and she may have too much for Pierce, who is likely to improve for the step up in trip. Cruise is another leading contender with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching jockey booking.

CRUISE very much caught the eye on yard/handicap debut at Kempton, badly hampered entering final 1f and noted finishing with running left. She gets the nod to go one place better under Oisin Murphy, with the returning pair She's Centimental and Pierce heading up the dangers.

After looking unlucky not to win at Kempton ten days ago, CRUISE is taken to gain compensation off just a 1lb higher mark here.

LTO Selection:

MIGHT AND MERCY has been progressing nicely and has won two of her last four starts. She scored over a furlong further here last time and is now 6lb higher and drawn widest, but she had placed form over sprint trips as a two-year-old and might be able to follow up. Collective Power is a dual winner over 5f at this venue and has bumped into the in-form Tawaazon on his last two starts. He's been very consistent here all winter and can run another big race. Inishmot Prince is a five-time winner here including twice at this distance. He was just ahead of Collective Power when third over 5f last time and has had a little break since then.

COLLECTIVE POWER has a habit of finding one too good, doing so for the twelfth time in his career over 5f here recently. However, there's nothing wrong with his application and he is taken to deservedly get his head back in front now returned to 6f. Inishmot Prince has a good record here and should be in the mix, while Might And Mercy, successful in a 7f handicap at this course last time, and Half Nutz are others to consider.

It's been a frustrating run of places for COLLECTIVE POWER but he's admirably consistent and looks sure to threaten once more.

LTO Selection:

A comfortable winner at Thirsk last week, FREEDOM FLYER is turned out again quickly under a 5lb penalty and he can strike at a track where he has run well in the past for his in-form connections. Therehegoes did it well over C&D last time out and he is likely to be thereabouts again, along with Gustav Graves, who ran a cracker when second at Doncaster nine days ago.

FREEDOM FLYER shaped better than the bare result on return and duly built on that to end a long losing run at Thirsk 7 days ago, winning readily. He earns the vote to come out on top again under a penalty, with recent Doncaster runner up Gustav Graves and Level Up returned to the minimum trip others fancied to feature.

This can go to FREEDOM FLYER, who looked in excellent nick when dominating a big-field turf handicap a week ago .

8th	12 8th (12) (4.5/1 -13%) Amemri	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(12) Amemri 4.5/1, 40/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (7f) 18 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb and another prominent showing is likely if in the same form.
9th	7 9th (7) (16/1 +27%) Millieblue	16 16/1(+27%)	(7) Millieblue 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in maiden (66/1) at this C&D 39 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Improvement will be needed.
10th	3 10th (3) (18/1 +28%) The Stray Sod	18 18/1(+28%)	(3) The Stray Sod 18/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Naas (5f, heavy) 16 days ago but in better form on AW here prior to that.
11th	10 11th (10) (1.88/1 +69%) Inthepoorhouse	1.88 1.88/1(+69%)	(10) Inthepoorhouse 1.88/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, creditable third of 16 in nursery at Galway (7f, heavy). Off 162 days. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Blinkers on 1st time.
12th	8 12th (8) (25/1 -14%) Andrassy	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Andrassy 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 15 in maiden (80/1) at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 16 days ago. Yard in good form. One to note in the betting on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

LITTLE KEILEE had no luck in running here two runs back and was subsequently run out of things late on when third in a 7f contest won by Amemri. She drops back a furlong and headgear is fitted, so she might be able to turn around the form. Amemri was a big price when beating the selection last time but won a shade snugly and has only gone up 3lb. She may well be capable of further progress. Inthepoorhouse makes his all-weather debut and represents a yard which does very well at this venue. He was third in a Galway nursery at the back-end of last season and the winner, second and fourth have all hit the target already this term. First-time blinkers are fitted and he's another dropping back from 7f.

LITTLE KEILEE was a close third to the reopposing Amemri over 7f here last time and may have won if she'd kept straight under pressure so she's taken to turn the tables on David Marnane's filly with cheekpieces on now to help keep her mind on the job. Zaza Zut also makes the shortlist.

Returning from three months off is a concern, but ZAZA ZUT (nap) looked a bit unlucky last time and going over 6f is a big plus.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/1 -50%) May Remain	6 6/1(-50%)	(2) May Remain 6/1, 4/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner minor event at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago, soon in the lead and kicking on home turn. Not ruled out despite a less-than-ideal draw to contend with again.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +50%) Rockley Point	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(4) Rockley Point 4.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, soft, 12/1) 7 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Enjoying a good spell on artificial surfaces previously and no surprise to see him bounce back.
3	1 3rd (1) (25/1 +0%) Clownsman	25 25/1(+0%)	(1) Clownsman 25/1, Maiden who ran best race when third in 10-runner Kempton handicap (6f) in October 2021. Below that level final 2 starts last year and returns from 16 months off operating for new stable here. Betting could well prove a useful guide.
4	10 4th (10) (5/1 +29%) Reversion	5 5/1(+29%)	(10) Reversion 5/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, fourth of 10 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago, merely closing up late on back of a missed break. Needs to keep the slow starts at bay if he's to figure here.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +0%) Amazing Amaya	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Amazing Amaya 12/1, Latest win over C&D in March. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 -33%) Reckon I'm Hot	6 6/1(-33%)	(7) Reckon I'm Hot 6/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Had wind op/tongue tied, 5½ lengths fourth of 10 to May Remain in minor event at this course (6.1f, 13/2) 14 days ago, headway under pressure 2f out and plugging on. Record is a mixed one but he's entitled to be sharper for that now.
7th	5 7th (5) (6.5/1 +7%) Tilsworth Ony Ta	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(5) Tilsworth Ony Ta 6.5/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. 11/2, below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Has good chance on pick of form and yard going well.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 +20%) Coley's Koko	8 8/1(+20%)	(8) Coley's Koko 8/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021 but she did build on her yard debut effort when respectable second of 10 in minor event (66/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, ridden entering straight and keeping on. Not out of things with a repeat.
9th	9 9th (9) (10/1 -11%) Mr Pc	10 10/1(-11%)	(9) Mr Pc 10/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (5f, 12/1) 42 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others make greater appeal on balance.
10th	11 10th (11) (18/1 +10%) Our Man In Havana	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Our Man In Havana 18/1, C&D winner. 9/1, 9¾ lengths ninth of 10 to May Remain in minor event at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago, racing in midfield and weakening over 1f out. Others arrive with more pressing claims.
11th	6 11th (6) (16/1 -60%) Big Time Maybe	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Big Time Maybe 16/1, C&D winner. 22/1, below form seventh of 14 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 46 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Back down in trip. Not taken lightly for all his draw in 11 makes things tricky.

LTO Selection:

MAY REMAIN wasn't for catching when landing a classified stakes over further here last month and the drop in trip should not inconvenience as he looks to notch up an eighth career success. Coley's Koko has done well since joining her new connections and she is entitled to go close, along with C&D winner Amazing Amaya. Others to note include Big Time Maybe, Reckon I'm Hot and Tilsworth Ony Ta.

TILSWORTH ONY TA wasn't at his best at Southwell last month but comes here operating from his last winning mark with his yard in fine form, so could just be worth chancing to bounce back. Coley's Koko, May Remain and Rockley Point head up the dangers in a tricky finale.

Rockley Point should go well but the suggestion is RECKON I'M HOT, who returned from a break with an encouraging run last month.

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.
