This looks an ideal opportunity for GOOD N' KIND. An easy winner of a Dromahane point-to-point when in the care of Colin Motherway, he has filled the runner-up spot in two track starts since. He was 23 lengths clear of a subsequent winner on his return from over a year out at Limerick last month, and a reproduction of that performance will make him hard to beat. A five-time winner on the level in the UK, Qaasid showed promise when fourth at Fairyhouse recently and he might appreciate this step up in trip. Well supported when sixth on her debut over flights at Clonmel, Miss Penny Copper warrants respect for local connections, while Milanova is another for the shortlist.

This looks a golden opportunity for GOOD N' KIND (nap). He has the best form and granted a clear round he should win now upped in trip

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

Having supplemented his debut victory in France with a respectable second at Chantilly, stable/seasonal debutant ROMIEU sets a strong standard for the others to aim at. The four-year-old is likely to take all the beating if handling the forecast quicker ground and a second career victory may await. The biggest threat might emerge from Jenubiyah, who offered plenty of encouragement with her third at Kempton. Newcomer Earthwatch warrants a market check.

Romieu sets the standard but he has a big weight on new ground. Obito should improve but EARTHWATCH is a newcomer of note.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

VERY MINDFUL failed to help her cause by hanging left when second at Kempton on her introduction. Archie Watson's promising filly will have benefitted from that experience and can launch a serious challenge with improvement likely. Amo Racing purchased Love Olivia for 140,000gns and the daughter of Havana Grey may well feature on debut, while Acceptance is the first foal of a winner France and is another newcomer to note.

Runner-up on her debut, Very Mindful could take some catching if again sent forward but LOVE OLIVIA looks an interesting newcomer.

PRAGNELL figured prominently in his two previous starts under Rules and could come into his own over this longer trip. Having gained experience of this course when a good second last time, this could be an ideal opportunity for the Charlie Longsdon-trained six-year-old. Fellow point-to-point recruit Gaelic Rambler wasn't beaten far when last of three on his Rules deut here last month and can figure with another step forward. Deep Purple commands respect dropped in class for his second run over hurdles.

Several have claims but preference is for PRAGNELL who battled on so well over the extended 2m3f here eight weeks ago.

Turned out again quickly after filling the runner-up spot at Clonmel on Thursday, it might be worth siding with OLD KENMARE. On just his second start in handicap company, the six-year-old came from off the pace, finishing a never-nearer second. Knocking on the door of late, Cramers Valley will have plenty of supporters, while it will be interesting to see how recent Wexford winner On The Tide fares back over hurdles after his breakthrough success. A case can be made for many others in this very competitive affair, with The Vegas Raider, Mahlers Cove, A Nod To Getaway, Queen Of Seduction and four-time winner Romella all likely to be well supported.

A chance is taken on A NOD TO GETAWAY. He'll enjoy the ground, 2m is fine and he ran well over further here in December.

Lady Of The Garr put a good string of efforts together on the all-weather during the winter and must enter calculations on the back of a 79-day break. However, this demands a career best and dual Redcar winner MRS TRUMP is more compelling. The five-year-old didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages on her reappearance at Pontefract and reverting to the C&D of her last triumph may see her capitalise. Garifullina and Ustath are also noted.

Having shaped nicely at Pontefract on her return MRS TRUMP is fancied to make it 3-3 at Redcar. Little Muddy is feared most.

A game winner over C&D on her penultimate start, LA DOLCE DOLLY proved that was no fluke when she shrugged aside a 4lb higher rating to follow up at Wincanton three weeks ago. A further 4lb rise might not be enough to prevent Andy Irvine's mare from completing a hat-tick. Fellow last-time-out winner Gwennie May Star is feared the most, although Warranty and Kaituna River are also capable players.

This looks open but it's worth chancing the stamina of GWENNIE MAY STAR who appeared to be sweetened up by the cheekpieces last time.

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

KING IN LOVE has progressed well this year, winning at Naas on his penultimate start, and should appreciate the drop back to 2m having been caught close home over 2m3f last time. Solsbury Hill won an 18-runner Leopardstown maiden over this trip and the form of his subsequent third to Mercury Mission and Imadpour at Wexford has worked out very well since. Chosen Diamond relished testing conditions when scoring over 2m4f here earlier this year and the form of his second to Dunboyne at Navan last month has been well advertised. Stuntman Steve and Last Kingdom are others to consider.

Plenty with chances but, for local connections, KOOL ONE is taken to score with ground conditions set the to suit the four-year-old

STARFIGHTER has won five times here and looks likely to run his race again. Mark Loughnane's veteran is only 3lb higher than when last successful at this track in January and returns with solid claims. Boasty is potentially well treated on last year's winning form here and he can make his presence felt over this longer distance, while Prince Hector had the measure of Two Plus Two when landing a classified contest over course and distance last month and could be in the mix.

Unexposed over this far, BOASTY looks interesting, especially as he finished runner-up in his only previous attempt over C&D.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

CHAMPAGNESUPEROVER made his way through the field to score at Hereford in February and should have no issues with this drop back in trip. With Olly Murphy's string in fine order at present, he will prove very tough to beat. Stormin Crossgales was well beaten in a class 3 handicap at Market Rasen on his latest outing, but this should be an easier assignment and he is expected to give the selection a real race.

This is tricky but STORMIN CROSSGALES meets his rival on favourable terms and should be hard to beat if he can turn things around.

Anzac Day won by an easy five lengths last time out at Newmarket, but that was in October 2023 and it may prove a huge ask to give weight away to all of his rivals on his first start since. Ernst Blofeld caught the eye when third over the mile here and he can go well upped in trip, but MODERN STYLE is preferred. An unraced son of Frankel who cost 900,000gns as a yearling, the Godolphin representative is fancied to strike at the first attempt.

The main form contenders are ERNST BLOFELD, Sword Of Wessex and long-absent Anzac Day.

Paul Nicholls has trained five of the last nine winners of this race and his ZAOCHEN ENKI is the first to consider. This well-related four-year-old was a promising second on his sole start in France before emerging as the ready winner of a maiden on debut for Nicholls at Wincanton last month. A 7lb penalty looks manageable and a follow-up success is a realistic expectation. Inside Man, Sage Green and Golden Echo are others to consider.

The vote goes to ZAOCHEN ENKI, who sauntered to clear to make a winning British debut at Wincanton last month.

An easy winner on his handicap debut at Limerick last month, COMING UP EASY might be able to follow up. His two wins to date have come at Greenmount Park and he had the reopposing My Gaffer a long way behind on his latest start. Less exposed than the majority of his rivals, he could still be ahead of the handicapper on a mark of 125. Golden Joy is another unexposed contender, starting off in handicap chase company after his Leopardstown success. Down the field at Cheltenham, Je T'ai Porte will appreciate this drop in class, while local representatives Jay Pee M and Kings Halo are sure to have plenty of supporters.

JAY PEE M appeals most. He'll relish the ground, 2m1f is fine and a 7lb rise for his Navan win may not halt his progression

STROXX has been in fine fettle this month, with a close-up second at Musselburgh followed up by a dogged Catterick victory. This looks a suitable opportunity for Liam Bailey's sprinter to go in again and he makes plenty of appeal off just 2lb higher. Brian The Snail returned to form with a solid third at Nottingham and the evergreen 11-year-old is feared most, ahead of Variety Island.

Veteran Brian The Snail can go well at 6f but the unexposed WIGGINS B could take a step forward now handicapping at a low level.

After a 37-length success at Ayr, ASTA LA PASTA is very hard to ignore. Admittedly, the selection's task was made easier by the departure of his main rival three out that day, but he was barely extended in the closing stages and a 5lb higher mark is manageable. Sans Bruit also won well last time and could prove to be the main danger, although Westport Cove should not be discounted.

Class act JPR ONE (nap) can be given another chance in handicap company, as a mistake two out cost him all hope in the Grand Annual.

Wendrock has run at all three big Festival meetings this year, including when fifth to Murcia at Aintree last time, and may be vulnerable to a fresher rival in ITS BILBO. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding won a Punchestown maiden on soft ground and was far from disgraced behind Hello Neighbour in a Leopardstown Grade 2 over Christmas. He was narrowly denied on his only outing since at Limerick last month, while Blue Lemons also handled soft ground when winning a Gowran maiden but needs to bounce back after disappointing in the Triumph Hurdle.

The selection is ITS BILBO who lost little in defeat when just foiled by a useful type at Limerick and won't mind the soft ground

SYNERGISM has the profile of a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver as he showed little in three starts over shorter trips in novice company last year, but will likely prove a different proposition upped in distance for his handicap debut. Electric Bass is worth keeping an eye on now handicapping, although Sweet Cicely looks to have stronger claims on the back of finishing a creditable third at Newcastle.

The vote goes to Sir Mark Prescott's SYNERGISM who could look a different proposition now upped in trip on his handicap debut.

DAMBUSTER shaped with lots of promise when only finding a long odds-on favourite too good at Stratford and will have lots more to offer. Olly Murphy's juvenile may only need to reproduce that level of form in order to get off the mark. Zenato was well held in fourth off a figure of 96 at Huntingdon but, of those with official ratings, he sets the standard back in maiden company. Jumping newcomer Wind River makes most appeal of the remainder.

Okeechobee is the best of these on official ratings but he has finished second on both of his seasonal debuts, which has to be a worry for his supporters. Botanical pulled too hard on his return at Doncaster but may be better at this trip and, if he settles, he could get involved, yet TEUMESSIAS FOX might be the one to beat. A record of three wins from four here shows a liking for the track, and with race fitness on his side after a victory in the Rosebery, he has every chance.

Two of the main form contenders have been absent since last April. BOTANICAL and Checkandchallenge are interesting alternatives.

IDEALLKO lurks on a potentially workable rating and could be worth chancing given he gets weight all round. The Evan Williams-trained gelding is versatile regarding distance and, having overcome a couple of mistakes to finish a respectable second over 2m3f here last month, cutting back to two miles could be a good move. Plumpton specialist Alto Alto would also be a key player if he transfers his peak ability to this venue, while Olly Murphy's pair Sao Carlos and El Muchacho shouldn't be underestimated.

Once-smart 11yo ROUGE VIF has a poor record in recent years but comes here fresh and is very well handicapped for his stable debut.

While ultimately disappointing when in the care of Henry de Bromhead, THE GREAT UNKNOWN has found her level in recent times and looks capable of taking this. She completed a quick hat-trick when successful at Ballycahane last month, with her winning streak coming to an end in a four-runner race at Daramona House. Only beaten a length and three-quarters, she can regain the winning thread now. Two from three since joining current connections and bidding for a hat-trick of her own, Justlikejessejames is an obvious danger. Eyes Off Annie and Defeat The Dark are other leading hopes, with the former a dual winner between the flags.

It might be worth siding with EYES OFF ANNIE who beat a future Rules' winner at Durrow and she should strip fitter for her last run

MEDIA MOGUL appreciated the application of first-time cheekpieces when scoring by half a length over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and now makes only his fourth handicap start. With this step up in trip a possible source of further improvement, he can complete a double. Trojan Sun raced way too keenly to do himself justice when last of five at Musselburgh, but has Paul Mulrennan back on board and could bounce back. Gastronomy looks best of the rest.

Media Mogul has the clearest potential but also a bit to prove and GASTRONOMY looks a reasonable alternative.

NORN IRON looks to be the safest option based on his proven reliability. Well supported for a handicap contest at Newbury last month, Harry Derham's gelding didn't do much wrong as that race unfolded and was only denied by a neck at the line. Compensation is attainable with another step forward. The unexposed Roman Roy and Start Again are the logical players for the forecast slot.

Harry Derham's NORN IRON has been running well in handicaps and could be expected to win a much stronger maiden than this one.

COME WALK WITH ME has come up against some smart sorts in maidens and gets the vote on his handicap debut. The locally-trained gelding filled the runner-up spot behind Sounds Victorius over 2m4f here on New Year's Day and also finished second on both outings since, including behind Redemption Day at Naas. The lightly-raced Farmers Lodge is on a hat-trick and handles cut in the ground well, while Oscars Brother is also reappearing after a break and was only narrowly denied last time in a valuable 3m1f Navan handicap. Lucky Lyreen, Mordor and UK raider Idefix De Ciergues are others to note.

He didn't perform at Cheltenham but course winner LUCKY LYREEN ran well on his previous two starts and has fair each-way claims

DARK SORCERESS only won by half a length on her seasonal return at Chelmsford, but she was value for more after idling in front and an added 3lb may not stop her doubling up. Rogue Dancer is another improver after winning at Southwell on her final start of 2024, but she has to give 13lb to the selection on her return, while Elland Road Girl is also progressing with her win at Bath a career-best effort.

There may well be more to come from Rogue Dancer, but ELLAND ROAD GIRL has looked on the upgrade for her new yard this spring.

Top Of The Class has a good record here with three successes, but she needs a career best off this mark and may have to settle for a place. SKY SAFARI looks a character, but with the Fanshawe team in good form and with two wins from her three starts, she looks the sort to improve as she matures and strengthens. Mercury Day drops in grade after a seventh to Soprano in Listed company and she could also get involved.

Back at Kempton, TOP OF THE CLASS is a solid alternative to the unexposed Sky Safari who commands major respect all the same.

Having routed his rivals once again when scoring at Hereford last month, Western General warrants respect in his hat-trick bid. However, a further 10lb rise demands another career-best performance from Joe Tizzard's charge and preference is for fellow in-form rival SAINT SEGAL. Jane Williams' gelding has posted three creditable efforts in defeat since scoring at Newbury in December and he looks ready to regain the winning thread. Light N Strike is the pick of the remainder.

Habitual front-runner SAINT SEGAL has performed commendably well in some competitive handicaps since his Newbury win in December.

I MASKED DU POTIER has been a revelation this season, winning three times with owner Pandora Briselden aboard. The Pat Doyle-trained seven-year-old was particularly impressive on his latest start at Ballycrystal and he is clearly a progressive type. West Of Carrig has also won three times this season, but unseated when out of contention at the Cheltenham Festival. Taking a big drop in class, it will come as no surprise if he makes his presence felt. Successful 12 months ago with Ryehill, Ross O'Sullivan and Luke Shanahan are represented by Arkhill. Unlucky on debut at Punchestown, he since made the breakthrough at Durrow and it will be interesting to see if he can follow up. A fast-finishing second at Tramore last week, Long Road is another for the shortlist.

Plenty with chances, the selection going to Cheltenham also-ran WEST OF CARRIG now dropped markedly in grade

CRUYFF TURN only weakened late on to finish a respectable fourth in a stronger event over a mile at this venue and the handicapper may have been kind to leave his mark alone. The eight-year-old ran out a two-length victor when last seen in this grade at Thirsk in September and he looks the way to go. Al Muqdad hit the crossbar at Ayr to sign off his 2024 campaign and has cheekpieces removed for his return to action. Circe is also noted.

He may be the old man of the party but CRUYFF TURN (nap) shaped well on his reappearance and can register a fourth C&D success.

WICKED THOUGHTS appreciated the faster underfoot conditions in maiden company at Ascot last month. He forged clear of his rivals in the closing stages and Paul Nicholls' charge looks one to keep on the right side of now handicapping. Escapologist and Ambion View are others of interest on their handicap debuts, with the former marginally preferred, but Excelero bids for a hat-trick and may prove the biggest threat to the selection.

This looks wide open. A chance is taken on AS THE FELLA SAYS in the hope that wind surgery can trigger some improvement.

There is little to choose between Colonel Mustard, Beacon Edge, Staffordshire Knot and SANDOR CLEGANE on running behind Jimmy Du Seuil in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and slight preference is for the Paul Nolan-trained gelding, who is quite well treated by the conditions of this race and won't be inconvenienced by soft ground. Kopeck De Mee was well touted prior to disappointing on his debut for current connections at the Cheltenham Festival, but showed the talk wasn't misplaced when just failing to land a valuable 2m4f handicap at Aintree. Lantry Lady has been lightly raced since finishing fourth to Lossiemouth at Cheltenham last year, while Kala Conti is another talented mare to consider.

This has the look of an open renewal. KOPECK DE MEE really should have won at Aintree and he can improve again on this testing ground.

Midnightattheoasis has won his last five starts including a dead-heat last time out at Lingfield, but an added 7lb now may mean he has to settle for a place.

Placed in seven of his eight starts over hurdles to date, DIAMOND KODA gets another chance. He was no match for the winner when runner-up at Haydock last month, but this looks an easier assignment and Nick Kent's charge can finally open his account. Reforme failed to fire at Ayr on his latest outing, although he has a shout on his second at Catterick in January. Victoria Milano could prove best of the remainder.

This looks a good opportunity for DIAMOND KODA (nap), who has form figures of 3322 in handicaps. Police Academy is feared most.

Ahlain hit the crossbar at Lingfield when last seen and as long as she has wintered well, she may go close again on her return to the fray. However, FOLLOW YOUR HEART went in by a length at Wolverhampton last month and might have been worth more than the winning margin suggests. With William Buick booked, Mark Loughnane's seven-year-old could record a fifth C&D victory. Supreme King completes the shortlist.

The return of blinkers swings the vote in favour of bottomweight NORTH VIEW (nap). Topweight Ahlain is second choice.

The application of first-time blinkers saw NEW FOUND FAME back in the winner's enclosure at Bangor in February and a short break shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Kerry Lee's charge shouldn't be inconvenienced by a 3lb rise in the ratings and a fourth career victory may beckon. El Curamach ended 2024 with a breakthrough triumph in a maiden hurdle at Warwick and he warrants consideration, along with fellow handicap-debutant Let Me Go Boys.

The suggestion is very unexposed 5yo LET ME GO BOYS, who ended 2024 with two encouraging runs in 2m maidens.

LIFETIME AMBITION looks the one to beat. The winner of this race 12 months ago and successful in point-to-points at Belharbour and Belclare this season, he was an excellent third over the big fences at Aintree earlier in the month. Overcoming a lengthy layoff to win on his debut for Eugene O'Sullivan at Dromahane recently, Bugs Moran is of definite interest. A smart hurdler when in the care of Noel Meade, he starts off over racecourse fences now. Third to the selection in last year's renewal, Early Doors will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort in the Tetratema if he is to feature here, while others for the shortlist are Lisleigh Lad and West Cork Wildway.

Very hard to look beyond last year's winner LIFETIME AMBITION who comes here in equally good form

GRABAJABBA outran odds of 28/1 to finish a close third over 7f at Doncaster's Lincoln meeting and is just 2lb higher. Mick Appleby's colt makes only his fourth handicap start and could have more to offer. Rhythm Master was closing all the way to the line after striking trouble in running at Thirsk and should go well, while Cadarn has Danny Tudhope booked for his handicap debut and has to be respected.

Barley shaped well on his recent return to action and can go well but BOY DOUGLAS resumes his career on a dangerous mark.

LADY JAGO will likely be raised by more than her 7lb penalty in the future, having trounced the opposition when scoring at Warwick a week ago. The hat-trick beckons for Dan Skelton's progressive chaser. Sea Invasion posted a better effort when runner-up at Exeter last time and could pose a threat if the application of headgear has the desired effect, while Fakenham winner Lyrical Genius is preferred of the remaining pair.

Title-chasing Dan Skelton can bank some handy prize money here as hat-trick seeking LADY JAGO could be well in under the penalty.

HEART WOOD is well treated at the weights and may prove difficult to beat. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding got his season off to a winning start on soft ground at Wexford and has shaped well on all three outings since in Grade 1 company, including when second to the impressive Fact To File in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham. Riding arrangements suggest Blood Destiny, who handles soft ground well and is lightly raced this season, is preferred of Willie Mullins' trio, while stablemate Saint Sam has proved a great servant to connections in this type of event.

To Be Sure was attempting to build on an Exeter near-miss when unseating Ellis Collier at Ffos Las.

Coup De Force made it three wins out of her last four starts at Southwell in November and if she is ready on her return to action, she ought to go close. However, REBEL PATH made the frame at Wolverhampton last month and goes off an unchanged mark. Granted a similar performance and with Jack Dace claiming a handy 7lb, he could be the one to beat. Cypriot Diaspora is another to consider.

Back at Kempton, another chance over this distance is given to the attractively treated GIANT. Hierarchy is second pick.

Having justified favouritism over an extended 2m3f here earlier this month, IMPECUNIOUS is one to keep the right side of. The son of Imperial Monarch is a potential improver on this step up in trip and he could make light work of a 4lb higher rating. The biggest threat may emerge from Ri Na Cuirte, who returned to form with a close second over C&D 32 days ago, ahead of Penthouse Poppet.

A return to form among the others is possible but recent evidence points to RI NA CUIRTE (nap), Sawpit Samantha and Impecunious.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

Emmet Mullins and Paul Byrne won this race 12 months ago and the pair again look to have strong claims with CLAY PIGEONS. Previously in the care of Jonathan Fogarty and the winner of a point-to-point on his third start at Boulta in December, he was subsequently bought for 62,000 pounds. Generous Risk was third to the selection at Boulta, but since won by 15 lengths at Belclare. Sold for 250,000 pounds after that success, the No Risk At All chestnut warrants the utmost respect starting off for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown House Stud. Plenty of locally-trained contenders are of interest, with Hunt Away, Wings Of A Swallow and Deerpark Hill all sure to have their supporters.

Both Generous Risk and Clay Pigeons have been bought since their point' wins but are opposed by three-time winner HUNT AWAY

Flamborough Head has the potential to build on his recent C&D win and should go well given this doesn't appear to be any deeper. However, GROUNDHOG was only a length and a half away in third and, armed with a 5lb pull at the weights, the Barrons' low-mileage three-year-old can turn the form around, assuming he settles better this time. Southwell winner I Can Boogy has to enter the equation, with Ottoman and Mwafaq others for the shortlist.

Flamborough Head's finish won him a C&D race two weeks ago but he may find that I CAN BOOGY proves too strong.

Aggagio is talented on his day and he has won off this mark in the past, albeit back in 2023. He can still go well here, but if PUBLIC ENEMY takes a step forward from his maiden win over course and distance earlier this month, he could be the one to be on under Rex Dingle. Alan King's Dickens and Synchronist are the pick for the minor prize money.

Public Enemy could be interesting as an unexposed 4yo with a C&D maiden win to his name but SYNCHRONIST edges preference.

Haiti Couleurs is an obvious contender coming here off the back of winning the National Hunt Chase over a similar trip at the Cheltenham Festival. However, NOW IS THE HOUR was still in contention when falling two out and enjoys a 4lb swing in the weights, plus he relishes testing conditions. The recent wet spell has also come in time for stablemate Bioluminescence, who won a Grade 2 on her chasing debut at Limerick and stays well, while stamina will not be a concern for Any Second Now, who was runner-up here last year and is now 1lb lower. Daily Present beat Johnnywho by a neck in the Kim Muir, while Dunboyne and Bushmans Pass also landed valuable staying handicap chases last time.

This will be a serious test of stamina in the conditions. NOW IS THE HOUR may have the resources required for a battle of attrition.

Heerathetrack failed to back up his success at Chelmsford when only fifth at Southwell earlier in the month, but he may be worth another chance. However, MATCH ANTHEM gets the nod. The four-year-old was only beaten a length over C&D on his penultimate start and competes off an unchanged rating. If he can reproduce that level of form, he could be the one to beat. Embarked isn't out of it either.

It may be worth siding with GALEL who returns to this trip for the first time since going down by a head over C&D in November.

Soft ground looked a legitimate excuse for CLAIM DU BRIZAIS returning a beaten favourite at Warwick. There was a lot to like about her previous third on faster going at Aintree back in October and Dan Skelton's inmate will be hard to keep out of the finish. Jack N Jones made an encouraging debut under Rules when runner-up at Plumpton and she can feature, while Irish point-to-point winner Eastern Shores is worth noting having her first start for Fergal O'Brien's yard.

This can go to point winner JACK N JONES who returned from a long absence with a front-running second on her rules debut at Plumpton.

Study Up went from last to first to score on his debut at Salisbury last summer and will have lots more to offer, but it may pay to side with HOODIE HOO. Charlie Hills' three-year-old had Topwarrior back in third when accounting for a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton last month and, judged on his professionalism that day, he is fancied to strike again. Keybaar cost 190,000gns as a yearling and needs to be monitored in the market.

Wolverhampton winner HOODIE HOO looks potentially useful and could well defy a 7lb penalty. Palmarian is second pick.

Old Park Star was a four-length second at Kempton in February but he needs to improve to win here. Sinchi Roca followed a point-to-point victory with a comfortable success at Taunton but he has to give 7lb or more to all of his rivals, and a chance is taken on ROMANY KING. A point-to-point winner in Ireland and now in the care of Charlie Longsdon, he will be better over hurdles or fences in time but could win a bumper first.

Anthony Charlton's SINCHI ROCA quickened quite stylishly to make a winning rules debut and can overcome his penalty.

LTO Selection:

All but three of the 13 have winning point-to-point form, with Carry On Heidi and Dora D'or the only dual victors in the line-up. The former claimed the GAIN Mares Final at Ballynoe last month, while the Ross O'Sullivan-trained latter is two from two. For a selection, SIMPLY NATURAL gets the nod. An easy winner on debut when in the care of Pat Turley, with a subsequent victor back in third, she has since joined top connections and it will be interesting to see what she can achieve. Starting off for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown House Stud, Torpille Dagrostis is an obvious danger. Second at Loughanmore in October and subsequently bought for 62,000 pounds, she is a sister to Grade 1 winner Itchy Feet. The Henry de Bromhead-trained Miss Doyenne and Tallow winner Changeyourstars are others of interest.

Henry de Bromhead has won two of the last three runnings of this race and can do so again here with MISS DOYENNE

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

PERFIDIA went agonisingly close with a strong finish at Pontefract last week and was simply outdone by one who got first run. This straighter and less demanding course should play to his strengths and quick compensation could be gained by Tim Easterby's gelding. Martha Costello showed some improvement on her handicap debut and has been given a chance by the assessor off 1lb lower. Ziva's Star and Sanbona complete the shortlist.

Perfidia plugged on past SANBONA at Pontefract last week but the placings can be reversed on today's revised terms.

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

Kajikia won a decent bumper at Ascot on his first start, although he was beaten a long way in a Listed race next time out and needs to bounce back. Willie Mullins is represented by the Yeats gelding Emerald Poet, but he is bred to be better over further and he may have to give way to LE BEAU MADRIK. Dan Skelton's newcomer has more speed in his pedigree and that may see him come out on top.

The market will make for essential reference but EMERALD POET gets the nod ahead of Le Beau Madrik, who has the 4yo allowance.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD was runner-up to subsequent Scottish National winner Macdermott in this race last year and was just denied over a similar trip the following month at the Punchestown Festival. The Robert Tyner-trained gelding is well suited by testing ground and should be ready to peak after two outings this year. Folly Master beat Rolly Bowley Boy over almost 2m4f at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and shouldn't have stamina concerns having also won a 2m7f handicap hurdle. Union Station was only sent chasing this year and appreciated the step up in trip when runner-up to Brandt over 3m4f at Leopardstown last month.

Folly Master is feared but BETTER TIMES AHEAD was a clear second in this last year behind the well-handicapped Macdermott.

Life On The Rocks has occupied the runner-up berth on each of his last two starts and should remain competitive off a 1lb higher mark than his latest effort at Doncaster. However, he could come out second best to STRATEGIC FORTUNE, who went in over track and trip on his latest outing and a 2lb rise may underestimate the authority he showed over his rivals that day. Last-time-out C&D scorer Danehill Star is another to keep an eye on.

The selection is I CAN'T BELIEVE who has been placed in both starts over C&D since winning over a furlong shorter here in January.

It will be interesting to see how French debut winner Sheriff's Court fares on his stable bow and, despite a 7lb penalty, he warrants respect. However, NACHO NACHO NACHO boasts a recent run after his third at Nottingham earlier this month and the son of Bungle Inthejungle appeals as the most solid option. Fort Augustus and Haazeez recorded some useful juvenile form last year and aren't easily dismissed.

Haazeez and FORT AUGUSTUS boast similar profiles, both having been gelded after a few costly losses, the latter shading preference.

Manalishi has place chances on his debut as a son of Malinas related to plenty of bumper winners, and he is well worth a market watch. Lazare Combo won his point-to-point readily enough and is another to consider, but the vote goes to LIMERICK LASS. Fourth on her sole start at Exeter when looking as if she would learn from the experience, the five-year-old could go on from that to get off the mark.

Paul Nicholls' newcomer ZAMEK has the right type of pedigree for bumpers and might be the answer.

SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY won two bumpers last term, including a Limerick Listed race in impressive fashion, and ran a cracker on his belated seasonal debut at the Cheltenham Festival. The Tom Cooper-trained gelding had Sortudo four lengths behind when finishing third to Bambino Fever and could progress further with that run under his belt. Kovanis was bought for 330,000 pounds after easily winning a point-to-point back in the autumn and justified favouritism in a bumper at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, while C&D winner I'll Sort That handled testing conditions well when following up at Naas last time.

The form of the Champion Bumper gets a runout and third-placed SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY finished some 4l ahead of Sortudo.

GREY FOX looked as good as ever when landing the spoils over C&D last month. The eight-year-old is entitled to build on that first appearance for 147 days and a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him from following up. Believitanducan arrives on the back of a juvenile hurdle victory at Stratford and he's feared most on his Polytrack debut, ahead of recent track-and-trip winner Cinnodin.

Only 2lb higher than when closing out last Flat season with a win, BELIEVITANDUCAN remains open to improvement over this sort of trip.

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.
