ME TARZAN returned from a 183-day break to make the frame at Kempton earlier in the month and competes off the same mark here. James Fanshawe's gelding looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Amber Honey showed more when fifth on her first start in a handicap at Redcar last time and may get into contention off a 1lb lower rating. Latona is the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to LATONA whose latest effort here could be forgiven. She travelled well into that race and this is a drop in class.

RYEHILL arrives on the back of a 10th on good to soft ground at Cheltenham but it is hard to forget his penultimate outing in Naas, where the mud was flying. He put the field to the sword by 12 lengths and gets the nod on that basis. Run Wild Fred could build upon a runner-up spot at Bandon point-to-point last month. That was just his second run back after an absence and he gets first-time cheekpieces. Hollow Games showed more in second behind a prolific winner at Portrush, while deep ground doesn't look ideal for Big Interest.

The going will pose no problem to St James's Place also-ran RYEHILL whose two wide-margin hunter chase wins have come on soft
Class & Speed Card

MAGIC BOX cost 34,000 pounds as a yearling and is a half-sister to Boy Browning, who was a winner over 6f as a juvenile. With William Haggas' string starting the season in fine order, it would be no surprise to see her make an instant impression in a winnable contest. Greek Gold's dam is a half-sister to Group 1 winner Arabian Queen, so he may be seen in a better light as he takes a step up in trip. Alkuwarrior brings the most experience to the table and will be looking to put that to good use.

This may go to MORETONS who cost a bit as a yearling and has more than enough in his pedigree to make him of interest.
Class & Speed Card

Fiver Friday got off the mark on her first start over hurdles at Naas and if she improves for that, her journey over from Ireland may easily prove worthwhile. DOUBLE DIGITS has to give her 7lb but has an experience edge with four starts over timber, winning the latest at odds-on at Carlisle. On ground that is expected to suit, he could come out on top. Keady Town returns from a wind operation for his hurdling debut and he might prove best of the rest.

Useful Flat racer FIVER FRIDAY beat a big field on last month's hurdling debut and could have a very good future over jumps.

ZENTA bounced back to winning ways with a lovely performance over a similar trip in a mares' beginners' chase at this track in February. Attritional ground holds no fears for her and it is worth noting that she was a Grade 1 winner over flights, so there could be more to come from her in this sphere now that she has got her head in front. La Malmason didn't feature in the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival but has claims on her previous efforts, including when third in a Listed mares' chase at Exeter. Majestic Force is a lightly-raced seven-year-old who knows how to win and appreciated a staying test at Wexford on St Patrick's Day.

The vote goes to MAJESTIC FORCE who won on heavy ground over hurdles and has chase form linked to Sunday's Grade 1 winner Spindleberry
Class & Speed Card

QUEEN OF THIEVES finished a fair third on her return to action at Newbury earlier in the month and it would be no surprise to see her take a big step forward from that effort. This step up in trip could unlock further improvement and she looks the one to beat. Miss Wong showed ability on both of her starts as a juvenile and needs to be taken seriously, while Highland Midge faces a tough task on debut.

The step up to middle distances can only suit MISS WONG this year and she's preferred to Queen Of Thieves in what looks a match.
Class & Speed Card

Tread Softly Now is the only course winner in this field after she scored narrowly over shorter last time out, but her record over 2m4f-plus isn't good and she may have to settle for a top-three spot. Isabel De Clare is coming down the handicap and could be of interest if first-time cheekpieces bring any improvement, although WINDS OF WINTER is still preferred. Second to Tread Softly Now earlier in the month, she is better off with the winner, which can help her turn that form around.

Third in a big-field series final at Musselburgh last month, ANAMANDA might open her hurdling account in this easier race.

SECRECIES OF STONE is up in class but the way he travelled to win in Leopardstown, he could be up to the challenge. He kept wide and strode in by eight and a half lengths, so a 7lb rise doesn't look excessive. The hike is offset by Georgie Benson's claim and, if he can get into a similar rhythm, she should get a good spin. Ik's Man powered home to win by a big margin over further at Clonmel, so looks threatening. Aine O'Connor is a notable booking for Potters Party, while in-form British raider The Boola Boss would prefer better ground.

The groun should be fine bVAUREAL\p who reverts to handicap company after a satisfactory run in a beginners' event on stable debut
Class & Speed Card

Sonic Pioneer arrives in good form and if he takes to the turf at the first attempt he could go well. Divot looks interesting ahead of his handicap debut with the step up in trip expected to bring improvement, but SOMETHING SPLENDID might be the one. Third on his first start for Peter Chapple-Hyam over shorter at Nottingham last month, he was repeatedly denied a clear run that day but was still beaten less than two lengths.

It may be worth siding with handicap debutant REQUIEM, whose seven winning siblings include three with triple-figure RPRs.
Class & Speed Card

It may pay to take a chance on top-weight TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS, who won seven races for Nigel Twiston-Davies and was last seen coming home fourth at Sedgefield on his third appearance since joining Ollie Pears. A mark of 105 is a massive 37lb lower than his highest rating, and even at the age of 11 there may be one more victory in him. Instinct D'ainay is an obvious danger on his handicap and chasing debut, and is a bit of an unknown quantity. Pure Surf arrives in good form and is another to consider.

The one with least to prove is PURE SURF, who has her limitations but has posted two good efforts under Pippa Brown this month.

The 125-rated KAINSBOURG has shown ability on rain-softened ground. The Doctor Dino gelding won twice in his native France on very testing ground and four outings over hurdles in Ireland have yielded a couple of runner-up berths at Limerick and Punchestown, and two fourth-placed runs. Kir is a potential improver up in trip, while Letos has plenty of solid form in France and began life in Ireland with a fourth over fences at Wexford. It is interesting that he reverts to hurdles, so a market check is advised.

A maiden which may not take much winning and a good opportunity for KAINSBOURG (nap) whose previous runs have been in stronger maidens
Class & Speed Card

Rebel Star is an obvious contender after coming home second on her last three starts, going down by half a length, a short head and a head, but a chance is taken on IT'S SHOWTIME. Conrad Allen does well with his small string and, with Taryn Langley claiming 7lb off the four-year-old's back, she can go close back in this class on her return to grass. Although last of 10 on his return at Wolverhampton, Cabeza De Llave missed the break and is easily forgiven.

Rebel Star remains open to improvement but IT'S SHOWTIME returns to grass on a handy mark and gets the nod back in headgear.
Class & Speed Card

STARLYTE made her way through the field to run out a ready scorer over track and trip last month and this looks a slightly easier assignment. The eight-year-old is only 7lb higher and can make it four victories from her last five starts. Sauce Of Life broke his hurdling duck at Doncaster in December and should go well again, while Imperial Data is another to note after his second behind the selection last time.

Left with a lot to do from the third-last flight, IMPERIAL DATA (nap) did very well to take second in a competitive C&D race in March.
Class & Speed Card

Back to form with a strong runner-up effort over 5f at Doncaster last month, ABATE looks the one to beat off a mark 7lb lower than his most recent success at Newmarket in September 2023. A revelation since joining the Ruth Carr team with three wins from three starts on the all-weather, Kats Bob must enter calculations, along with Profiteer, who was a determined winner at Pontefract on his penultimate outing.

Kats Bob is unbeaten for Ruth Carr but preference is for ABATE, who went close in a big field at Doncaster on last month's return.

A very competitive contest. Willie Mullins is well represented and his FISHERY LANE could be the answer. The Grade 1 Albert Bartlett proved too hot for him at Cheltenham, but his best form has been on rain-softened ground and his decisive maiden hurdle success at this track in January merits plenty of respect. Blaze The Way has been mixing in good company and his second at Navan and fourth in Uttoxeter read well. Custom Taylor arrives in rude health from a cruise around Limerick and he very rarely runs a below-par race, so is one for the shortlist. Autoportrait is a very consistent horse for Mouse Morris, while Stuart Crawford's Ayiko is another to consider.

Tramore maiden winner FAIRYLAND OPERA could be ahead of the handicapper at this longer distance and she gets a tentative vote
Class & Speed Card

COORAMOOK was weak in the betting ahead of her Chelmsford return, but she finished a pleasing third. The Harry Eustace-trained daughter of Mehmas goes handicapping from a potentially lenient mark and given that she's a half-sister to useful sprinter Eminny, she could find progress back on turf. Maelstrom flattered to deceive at times last year, but he is in good hands and much better is expected. Others to note include Blue Empress and Maids Head.

Cooramook is worth a look but this can go to MAELSTROM, who's evidently thought capable of better.
Class & Speed Card

ROGER RAREBIT finished a well-held fourth at Haydock in January, but may appreciate this step back up in trip judged on his second at Warwick two starts ago. Tom Lacey's eight-year-old remains on a workable mark and can regain the winning thread. Super Citizen beat Whosmydaddy by just under a length at Carlisle and is expected to confirm that form to go close. Achille Des Rocs sports first-time cheekpieces and isn't out of it either.

Chasing debutant ACHILLE DES ROCS won twice over hurdles in late 2024 and has plenty of Irish pointing experience to call upon.
Class & Speed Card

Trainer Karl Burke and Amo Racing look like a potent combination for an early season two-year-old contest like this, and the well-bred JAN STEEN is taken to get off the mark at the first time of asking. Related to a couple of useful sprinters, Bring It On is likely to know his job on debut, while the same can be said of Sailor Batt, who hails from a family that connections know well.

Judged on breeding and other factors, JAN STEEN is particularly interesting. Sailor Batt is the suggested second choice.

A host of winners have come out of the maiden hurdle that KALIX DELABARRIERE won at Naas in February and he looks like a horse who could begin to move through the grades for Willie Mullins. There wouldn't be many deeper races to make a handicap debut in, but he has considerable upside and holds two Grade 1 entries for Punchestown. Nicky Henderson's Joyeuse was very impressive on her penultimate start in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury. She faced a tough task in sixth behind Lossiemouth at Cheltenham, but has to be given plenty of respect here. Grand Annual hero Jazzy Matty could be very dangerous off a mark of 125, while Le Grand Peinture couldn't have won any more easily in Navan.

A chance is taken on SERIENMOND. He won going away on debut for Gavin Cromwell at Leopardstown and could well have more to offer
Class & Speed Card

MR ZEE opened his account over hurdles with a cosy victory at Taunton last month. Michael Blake's charge had a subsequent winner back in third, so another bold bid looks on the cards on the strength of that form. Pooroldmackley makes a quick reappearance having won over fences on heavy ground at Newton Abbot just three days ago. He makes less appeal reverting to hurdling, and handicap debutant Zarhanya could prove a bigger threat with a conditional rider taking 10lb off her back.

Michael Blake's MR ZEE is consistent, versatile ground-wise and a winner last time out. He's preferred over Pooroldmackley.
Class & Speed Card

A slow start might have made the difference to GINCIDENT's finishing position because he was beaten just three-quarters of a length into third at Wolverhampton on Saturday. James Owen's charge tackles an extra furlong, which should suit, and provided he can break on terms, he ought to go very close. Zariela wasn't disgraced on her reappearance at Lingfield and could step forward with a visor applied for the first time. Corundum heads the remainder.

A slow start over an easier 7f did for GINCIDENT (nap) on the AW at the weekend and he's selected to bounce back.
Class & Speed Card

Point-to-point winner CHANONRY POINT made a strong impression when scoring comfortably on her bumper debut at Musselburgh and will have lots of improvement in her. Lucinda Russell's mare may only need to produce a similar performance in order to defy her 7lb penalty. Jimmy Hurdstrom improved from his first start under Rules to fill the runner-up spot at Wetherby and would be foolish to dismiss. Any market support behind newcomer Abbey Scope would be interesting.

Chanonry Point created a good visual impression at Musselburgh but preference is for Wetherby runner-up JIMMY HURDSTROM.
Class & Speed Card

Despite displaying a shade of greenness when pulling hard, TEROOMM was always in control when scoring over this distance at Bath last time out, and a 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. A comfortable winner at Epsom last August, Parole D'oro is also a key player, as well as Four Fifty, who was a taking scorer first time out at Newcastle recently.

Having won tidily at Bath 18 days ago on his second start, TEROOMM is taken to follow up. Parole d'Oro is another useful prospect.
Class & Speed Card

ZANOOSH has an each-way chance at a price. Colm Murphy's charge was beaten a fair way into fourth in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in January, but that form has been very well franked. Hello Jean was beaten less than a length into third on debut at Leopardstown and there should be plenty more to come from her considering she did her best work in the latter stages. She is sure to be popular. Derryville's second at Punchestown in December received a massive boost when the winner landed the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. Lau And Shaz has been mixing hurdling and bumpers and has shown enough to play a part.

It could pay to take a chance on debut point winner SOLDIERSTOWN. Her dam has a good record, and her rider claims a valuable 7lb
Class & Speed Card

Doctor Love may well have finished closer than fourth at Ludlow if settling better in the early stages. He could be on the premises, but GOD OF FIRE is marginally preferred. A fair handicapper on the Flat with four wins to his name, the five-year-old made a promising debut over timber when runner-up at Plumpton and he should prove a more potent force with that experience under his belt. Jackstell makes most appeal of the remainder.

Jamie Snowden's JACKSTELL was strong in the market last time at Ascot and didn't run badly behind one who got loose on the lead.
Class & Speed Card

HIGHLAND OLLY returned to the fray with a determined effort over 7f at Redcar. He rallied late to grab second place that day, and the four-year-old will likely have more to offer attempting this longer distance for the first time. Makalu scored four times last season and resumed winning ways with a victory at Southwell on his reappearance. He can feature again, along with Jez Bomb.

Having bumped into a progressive rival when runner-up at Southwell last month, JEZ BOMB can go one better. Highland Olly is feared.
Class & Speed Card

The highly progressive CAMINO ROCIO will likely prove hard to stop. The winner of five of his last six starts, he recorded his most impressive success so far when scoring easily at Huntingdon last month and is taken to defy a 10lb hike. A Definite Getaway faces a more difficult task than when successful at Exeter, but he ran out a convincing winner on that occasion and is not out of it. Kempton scorer Climbing will appreciate conditions on his return from a break.

If a wind operation has had a positive effect on ATLANTA BRAVE then he is extremely well handicapped and the chance is worth taking.
Class & Speed Card

SWIFT SALIAN has eased to an attractive mark and is taken to build on his comeback fourth at Musselburgh. He ran out of steam inside the final furlong on that occasion, but should have come on plenty for the outing and could be bang there at the finish. Harlem Nights returns to the turf, having shown promise at Wolverhampton on his first start after a wind operation. He could have a say in the outcome, while Tees George is worth noting on his reappearance.

The returning cheekpieces and drop back in trip could be major positives for TEES GEORGE and he can make a winning return.
Class & Speed Card

EVERYONESACRITIC struck the woodwork when in search of his hat-trick over C&D last month. The winner has gone in again subsequently and Evan Williams' six-year-old looks set to mount a bold bid from an unchanged mark. Chestnut Pete was raised 7lb for a facile success over 2m here, but will be a player as long as he proves as effective over this longer trip. Greenrock Abbey is another to consider.

It was good to see Chestnut Pete finally get his head in front last time but EVERYONESACRITIC (nap) can deny his follow-up bid.
Class & Speed Card

CAVERN CLUB has won twice over hurdles since joining James Owen's yard, including at Doncaster last month, and looks to have every chance off his current mark if translating that improved form back to this sphere. A winner over 1m2f, Perfectly Timed will likely stay this extra distance and can land a blow if doing so, while The Crafty Mole goes well here and could also be in the mix.

Cavern Club is a major threat after his hurdles win last time but PERFECTLY TIMED may make this first attempt at 1m4f a winning one.
Class & Speed Card

Zhang Fei bolted up at Fakenham when last seen in December and he merits respect, as does Prolific Profile, who finished a creditable second at Kempton three weeks ago. Tapley has faced some stiff assignments so is not to be underestimated now afforded an ease in grade, but the vote goes to CORNISH STORM. Stuart Kittow's gelding has been in good form under both codes recently and, with scope for further progress, he could offer some value.

A very open race. BLACK HAWK EAGLE was a dual winner last season and, bar one blip, this campaign has been going okay.
Class & Speed Card

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to NEYTIRI TE TSKAHA. Stuart Williams' filly signed off last season with a C&D win and has shaped with promise on two outings on the all-weather since returning in February. With race-fitness on her side and from a potentially handy draw, it would come as no surprise were she to take another step forward. Fuji Mountain, Balzarini and Against The Wind are all afforded an ease in class and must be given the utmost respect.

With Adrian Keatley's horses running well preference is for DO IT NOW, for whom a good case can be made on his Super Sprint fifth.
Class & Speed Card

Point-to-point winner RACE TO BASE showed promise at Aintree on Boxing Day before progressing to fill the runner-up spot over this C&D. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge sets a clear standard and any further improvement will make him difficult to beat. Nathaniel gelding No Panic makes some appeal on paper and market support would be noteworthy, while Emerald Time heads the remainder.

Race To Base could be hard to beat but CAPTAIN HUGO is bred to have a future and his yard's bumper horses have been going well.
Class & Speed Card

EMERALD ARMY kept on well to score over 6f here on his reappearance earlier this month. Just 3lb higher now and with a return to further seemingly in his favour, the son of Invincible Army is fancied to go in again. Heroism continues to tumble down the ratings and he can't be overlooked despite needing to improve on recent efforts. Captain Vallo ought to go close, and Without Delay is another to be interested in.

This can go to EMERALD ARMY (nap), who was progressive over 7f last autumn and goes back up in trip after his recent 6f win here.

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.
