Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (33/1 -50%) Miss Havre	33 33/1(-50%)	(4) Miss Havre 33/1, 90,000 gns foal, Le Havre filly. Half-sister to useful 6.5f-9f winner Fonthill Abbey and 1m winner Blondynka Mnm. Dam, unraced, closely related to high-class 2-y-o 7f winner Teofilo, out of smart 1m winner Speirbhean.
2	2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 +15%) Anjo Bonita	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(2) Anjo Bonita 5.5/1, Fair form when placed 4 times at up to 1m as a juvenile. Failed to meet expectations at Thirsk on return but might have needed it and player on best form.
3	7 3rd (7) (5.5/1 +45%) Tarraff	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(7) Tarraff 5.5/1, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Kaasirr. Dam, 2-y-o 6f-1m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Yattwee. Wears tongue strap. Yard has excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so she must be respected.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +25%) Rosa Chinensis	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Rosa Chinensis 12/1, Oasis Dream filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Madame Chiang and useful 1m/8.3f winner Oriental Scot. Dam useful 1¼m-11.6f winner who stayed 1¾m.
5th	1 5th (1) (0.44/1 -10%) Rainbow Sky	0.44 0.44/1(-10%)	(1) Rainbow Sky 0.44/1, 1,500,000 gns Sea The Stars filly who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Kempton in November, leading well inside final 1f. Not seen to best effect in a useful event there on return 3 weeks ago and looks the one to beat under a penalty.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 -175%) Cracked Up	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) Cracked Up 33/1, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Sense of Humour and 2-y-o 1m winner Kings Joy. Dam lightly raced half-sister to 2000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand and smart 1m winner Belle d'Or, out of useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Glatisant. Wears hood.
7th	5 7th (5) (150/1 -50%) Ms Greer	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Ms Greer 150/1, Bobby's Kitten filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 6f winner Glass Office. Well held in novice events at Lingfield/Yarmouth.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 0.4/1 (1) RAINBOW SKY is the most likely to do well as she has already won a race and was not seen to her best effect in her last race due to the competition. Other horses like 12/1 (3) CRACKED UP and 10/1 (7) TARRAFF also have potential, but there is not enough information to confidently predict their performance.

RAINBOW SKY was well held in conditions company at Kempton last time but she made a big impression on her debut at the same track. Bred to get further, this trip looks right up her street and she can get the better of Anjo Bonita, who ran a promising race on her return at Thirsk earlier in the month. Tarraff looks the pick of the newcomers for a team who can ready one first time out.

A good opportunity for RAINBOW SKY to resume winning ways having not been seen to best effect in a useful event at Kempton on return. Simon & Ed Crisford have an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so Tarraff may emerge as the biggest threat, with Anjo Bonita needing to shrug off a below-par reappearance.

Well-bred filly RAINBOW SKY probably has considerable latent ability and can collect this prize before moving on to bigger targets.

13:55 Wetherby Stakes (Class 5) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:15 Sligo Maiden 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (1.1/1 +20%) Aussie Girl	1.1 1.1/1(+20%)	(6) Aussie Girl 1.1/1, Lightly-raced filly. Hooded for 1st time, very good fourth of 12 in handicap at Cork (7f, heavy, 7/2) 22 days ago. Stable having good spell. Looks hard to beat with headgear retained. Fourth when hooded on h'cap debut at Cork; travelled well and drop back from 7f might help.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 -10%) Yuzu	11 11/1(-10%)	(10) Yuzu 11/1, Twice-raced filly. 11/2, eighth of 12 in maiden at Cork (7f, heavy) 22 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Two runs over 7f; encouraging debut at Punchestown but well held on testing ground at Cork.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 -129%) Hasiyna	16 16/1(-129%)	(7) Hasiyna 16/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, soft, 5/1) on debut. Off 7 months. Down in trip. Should have more to offer. Only 5-1 for Curragh bow over 1m but beaten 13l; drop in trip not sure to suit on pedigree.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +50%) At Long Last	9 9/1(+50%)	(1) At Long Last 9/1, Kodi Bear filly. Dam, 10.7f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Bahaarah (by Iffraaj) out of Italian Group 3 winner Love Intrigue. Market can guide. Kodi Bear filly; dam was 10.6f AW winner; yard won both maidens on this card a year ago.
5th	2 5th (2) (22/1 -38%) Elda	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Elda 22/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 20/1) on debut. Off 6 months with work to do. Fourth of 12 and showed speed at the Curragh (7f, heavy) last term; sharper test will suit.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 +0%) Un Bacio Ancora	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Un Bacio Ancora 10/1, Fair filly. Creditable second of 17 in handicap (20/1) at Bath (5f, soft) 23 days ago. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Fast-finishing second of 17 in 5f Bath handicap (soft); stiff task on ratings but in form.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -230%) Run For You	33 33/1(-230%)	(4) Run For You 33/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 11 in maiden (40/1) at Dundalk (8f) on debut 30 days ago. Can do better down in trip. Green on debut over 1m at Dundalk last month when beaten roughly 3l; should improve.
8th	9 8th (9) (2.5/1 +38%) Thunder Dance	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(9) Thunder Dance 2.5/1, Promising type. Visored, third of 12 in maiden at Cork (7f, heavy, 15/2) on debut 22 days ago, running on late. Open to improvement. Promising debut when third at Cork (7f, soft to heavy); drop in trip not sure to suit.
9th	8 9th (8) (50/1 -25%) Only A Star	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Only A Star 50/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 16 days ago. Hooded for 1st time with a big step forward needed. Huge odds but has shown ability in AW maidens; gets a mark after this and best watched.
10th	3 10th (3) (80/1 -21%) Nil Desperandum	80 80/1(-21%)	(3) Nil Desperandum 80/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 9 in maiden at the Curragh (5f, good to soft, 125/1) on debut. Off 18 months. First run for yard after leaving Miss Natalia Lupini. Huge odds and finished in rear only start for Natalia Lupini; off over 18 months.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 4/1 (9) THUNDER DANCE and 1.38/1 (6) AUSSIE GIRL seem to be the most promising. 4/1 (9) THUNDER DANCE had a promising debut and is open to improvement, while 1.38/1 (6) AUSSIE GIRL finished fourth in a handicap race and is expected to do well with headgear retained. 10/1 (5) UN BACIO ANCORA has been in good form but remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 16/1 (2) ELDA and 18/1 (1) AT LONG LAST have also shown some potential in their debut races. The rest of the horses seem to have long odds and are not expected to perform well.

AUSSIE GIRL could take advantage of stall one in this sprint. The form of her third place at Dundalk in November is more than decent and, since then, she has handled rain-softened ground in finishing fourth at the Curragh and Cork. The drop back in trip at this sharp track should suit as she tends to race prominently. Thunder Dance attracted support before her debut third in Cork. There was a lot to like about that effort and improvement should be forthcoming. Hasiyna was only 5/1 for her debut in a Curragh maiden in the autumn. She finished in rear of mid-division, but could be a different proposition after a winter's development. Un Bacio Ancora has extensive experience and ran well in second at Bath this month. The drop in trip could help Yuzu.

AUSSIE GIRL possesses much the best form on show on the back of her very good Cork handicap fourth so looks the way to go reverted to maiden company. Cork third Thunder Dance looks to have better days ahead of her and is next on the list ahead of Dundalk debut sixth Run For You.

Maybe the drop in trip will be okay for the well-drawn AUSSIE GIRL who travelled well for a long way over 7f at Cork

14:15 Sligo Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:30 Wetherby Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2.75/1 -22%) Golden Maverick	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(4) Golden Maverick 2.75/1, Suited by the step up to 1m when making a promising start to his handicap career at Southwell 16 days ago, finishing well from further back than ideal. Open to further progress and leading claims under Buick. Came from well off the pace to be third at Southwell and can improve again..
2	1 2nd (1) (2.75/1 +8%) Obama Army	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(1) Obama Army 2.75/1, Fair maiden. Good second of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Nottingham (1¼m, soft) 8 days ago. Back down in trip. Likely to go well. Improved the last twice and handled the softish ground fine at Nottingham latest..
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 +90%) Brabusach	10 10/1(+90%)	(2) Brabusach 10/1, Modest form. Hooded and tongue tied first time, never involved on 7f Wolverhampton handicap debut last month. Headgear off. Steps up to 1m and tackles turf for the first time now. Has gone backwards since a fairly decent debut on the AW last October; debut on grass..
4	10 4th (10) (3.5/1 -56%) Angel De Luz	3.5 3.5/1(-56%)	(10) Angel De Luz 3.5/1, Beaten a long way in 3 outings for George Boughey last autumn. Has switched yards (same owner) ahead of this handicap debut/reappearance. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting. Didn't show much in these colours when trained by George Boughey, from 7f to 1m..
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 +76%) Ribkana	16 16/1(+76%)	(7) Ribkana 16/1, Poor form at 2, including in handicaps. Improvement will be needed back from 7 months off. 0-5 and never improved for nurseries but this softer ground may help..
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 +72%) Carmentis	28 28/1(+72%)	(9) Carmentis 28/1, Poor form, faring no better for cheekpieces at Newcastle (7f) 47 days ago. Yard going well but still hard to fancy. Not that competitive in any of her six runs and has much to prove..
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 +36%) Seraphia	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Seraphia 16/1, Didn't show much in 3 outings over 7f/1m last autumn but could prove a different proposition in handicaps. One to note in the betting. Quiet last season (6f/7f) but has a good pedigree and may improve as a 3yo handicapper..
8th	5 8th (5) (7.5/1 -67%) H Key Lails	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(5) H Key Lails 7.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and backed that up when narrowly denied at Southwell (1m) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt. Competitive of late on the AW and obvious contender if handling the conditions..
9th	8 9th (8) (40/1 -82%) Havanawing	40 40/1(-82%)	(8) Havanawing 40/1, Down the field in 3 outings over 6f last summer. Steps up in trip for this handicap debut from a basement mark. Betting should guide. Quiet in her three qualifying runs over 6f and there's plenty of speed in her pedigree..
10th	3 10th (3) (50/1 -25%) Lough Swilly Lass	50 50/1(-25%)	(3) Lough Swilly Lass 50/1, Well held in 3 runs on turf in Ireland last year and fared no better on 6f Newcastle handicap debut for new yard 8 weeks ago. Still early days but this longer trip needs to spark improvement. Modest Irish form and beat only one home on British/handicap debut over 6f on the AW..

LTO Selection:

Based on the information provided, the horse with the most promising chance of doing well is 3/1 (1) OBAMA ARMY. They have shown improvement in their last few races and have handled the ground conditions well. They also have a good recent performance in a handicap race and are back down in trip, which could work in their favor. The other horses either have poor past form or lack experience, making 3/1 (1) OBAMA ARMY the strongest contender.

Denied by the narrowest of margins on his most recent start at Nottingham, OBAMA ARMY can gain compensation down in trip despite a 3lb rise. Jack Channon's charge was behind both H Key Lails (second) and Golden Maverick (third) at Southwell earlier in the month, but he is taken to triumph on this occasion. Seraphia could be on a decent mark as well on her handicap debut.

This looks a good opportunity for GOLDEN MAVERICK to build on an encouraging handicap debut second at Southwell. Obama Army and H Key Lails are the obvious threats unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the handicap newcomers.

Jack Channon's OBAMA ARMY just missed out at Nottingham last time and his proven ability on softish ground is a big selling point.

14:30 Wetherby Handicap (Class 6) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:45 Sligo Maiden 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (66/1 +34%) One For The Gap	66 66/1(+34%)	(2) One For The Gap 66/1, Alhebayeb gelding. Dam, 1¼m winner, out of a lightly-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Barricade. Cheaply bought newcomer best watched.
1	4 1st (4) (1/1 -10%) Semblance Of Order	1 1/1(-10%)	(4) Semblance Of Order 1/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Very good third of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Gowran (8f, soft) 11 days ago, running on. Back down in trip. Difficult to oppose. Form over further but has the speed for this; major player.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.75/1 +21%) Arniemac	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(1) Arniemac 2.75/1, Once-raced gelding. Fourth of 13 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy, 22/1) on debut, never nearer. Off 175 days. First run for yard after leaving J. J. Feane. Hooded for 1st time. Likely to improve. Definite promise sole 2yo start but bred to want much further than this.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Love Mocha	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Love Mocha 4/1, Twice-raced filly. 2/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Down in trip. Respected. Back in trip here on better ground and improvement likely.
4	3 4th (3) (22/1 -100%) Gustav Ucicky	22 22/1(-100%)	(3) Gustav Ucicky 22/1, Ungenuine type. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. Fifth of 6 in minor event (80/1) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Recent turf return respectable; drop back in trip may suit, hood left off today.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 +11%) Brasilian Princess	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Brasilian Princess 8/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 14/1) 36 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Blinkers on 1st time. Tried blinkered now and drying ground to suit so definite contender.

LTO Selection:

0.91/1 (4) SEMBLANCE OF ORDER may do well as the summary highlights that it has good speed and performed well in its recent race, running on to get third place. It also mentions that it is difficult to oppose, which indicates that it has a strong chance of winning. 5/1 (6) LOVE MOCHA and 9/1 (5) BRASILIAN PRINCESS are also mentioned as respected and definite contenders, respectively, but 0.91/1 (4) SEMBLANCE OF ORDER has the strongest indication of doing well in the race.

Andy Oliver won this race last year and has prospects with the 81-rated SEMBLANCE OF ORDER. This Buratino three-year-old has been in good form this season in coming home second at Cork and then a close third at Gowran Park in a head-bobbing finish. he has been racing prominently which will help on this drop in trip. Arniemac has switched to Joseph O'Brien after a never nearer fourth on debut at Naas in November. He has a lovely low draw to work from, so a big run could be on the cards. Love Mocha attempted to make all in Bellewstown, but didn't appear to get home over the extended 7f on heavy ground. This shorter trip could help her cause. Brasilian Princess has been placed three times on the Polytrack in Dundalk. She has still to prove her fondness for cut in the ground, though.

SEMBLANCE OF ORDER ran well at Gowran recently and looks to have found a good opportunity to belatedly open his account. Arniemac is open to improvement and could pose the main threat.

The experienced SEMBLANCE OF ORDER should have the pace for this shorter trip and gets the nod ahead of the less exposed Love Mocha

14:45 Sligo Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:05 Wetherby Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3.2/1 -7%) Mahanakhon	3.2 3.2/1(-7%)	(3) Mahanakhon 3.2/1, Placed all 3 starts last year, running to a fairly useful level when runner-up at Hamilton on his second outing. Shaped as if needing run after 11 months off (gelded) when fourth in minor event at Redcar (1m, soft) 20 days ago, so could fare better this time. Not at best on seasonal debut but the ground was soft; contender on last spring's form.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.75/1 -27%) Westernesse	1.75 1.75/1(-27%)	(5) Westernesse 1.75/1, Placed on last 4 starts in 2022, again running creditably (in first-time cheekpieces) when third of 16 in maiden at Listowel (1m good to soft) in September. Can get off the mark on first run for yard after leaving Dermot Weld. Fairly useful form when placed four times in Ireland last year; stable debut today.
3	4 3rd (4) (5.5/1 +35%) Trueman	5.5 5.5/1(+35%)	(4) Trueman 5.5/1, Made appeal on paper, but easy to back (10/1) when finishing sixth of 10 in maiden at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) on debut. Off 12 months (gelded) ahead of first run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Should improve at some point. Not seen since underwhelming debut for William Haggas a year ago; market may point the way.
4	2 4th (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Cresta De Vega	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(2) Cresta De Vega 2.25/1, After 15 months off (gelded), ran best race when second in minor event at Lingfield (7f) in January. Failed to meet expectations when fifth in handicap at the same course (1m3f) the following month, but could still have more to offer back down in trip. Didn't see out 1m2f on handicap debut but went close in 7f novice two starts ago.
5th	6 5th (6) (80/1 -60%) Flash Bulb	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Flash Bulb 80/1, Maiden on the Flat (leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien after third start) and has offered little in a pair of novice hurdles this year, having a wind op prior to latest outing. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on first time as she switches back to the level. Placed in Ireland last year but disappointing on Flat and over hurdles for current stable.
6th	1 6th (1) (80/1 +0%) Blame The Farrier	80 80/1(+0%)	(1) Blame The Farrier 80/1, Modest form in bumpers and little impact in maiden/handicap hurdles. No impression on his Flat debut in March, but showed a bit more when 3¾ lengths eighth of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Still up against it on these terms. Not disgraced at huge odds in his two Flat races but can't be recommended here.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 3/1 (3) MAHANAKHON seems to be the most promising horse with a track record of being placed in all three starts last year and finishing as a runner-up at Hamilton on his second outing. Although he didn't perform well on his seasonal debut, the ground was soft, and he could fare better this time. Additionally, the other horses have either had mixed performances or have not been seen in a long time.

The Ralph Beckett yard can do little wrong at present and CRESTA DE VEGA must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form that saw him narrowly denied at Lingfield on his penultimate start. He may have too much for Westernesse, who showed a decent level of ability in Ireland last year, while Mahanakhon has the form to also get involved in proceedings.

WESTERNESSE held his form well last season when trained by Dermot Weld, placing on his last 4 starts, and he looks the one to beat on his first outing for David O'Meara. Mahanakhon can fare better with his reappearance run behind him and is feared most, ahead of Cresta de Vega.

Today's drop back in trip looks the right move for CRESTA DE VEGA, who didn't see out 1m2f on his handicap debut in February.

First run since leaving James McAuley when third of 20 in handicap (50/1) at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 8 days ago. Not taken lightly.

12th	11 12th (11) (33/1 -50%) Dani's Boy	33 33/1(-50%)	(11) Dani's Boy 33/1, First run since leaving P. A. Fahy when creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this course (5.8f, good to soft). Off 22 months. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Both wins for Pat Fahy were over much longer trips; off 684 days so readily opposable.
13th	6 13th (6) (20/1 -67%) Praying Mantis	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Praying Mantis 20/1, 33/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f). Off 6 months. Three wins over 1m and landed 7f handicap at Gowran last year; held on AW when last seen.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 4/1 (3) CELTIC MANOR appears to be the most likely to do well, as they have won first time out in the past, won at the same course and distance previously, and have a good chance on form. Other horses to consider are 5/1 (2) AURORA NOVA, 6.5/1 (10) SILVER NEMO, and 7/1 (13) SIN E SHEKELLS, who have all shown creditable performances recently despite not winning.

CELTIC MANOR could repeat his victory of last year in this race. He has been off since placed efforts at this track and in Fairyhouse last summer, but has gone well fresh before and his new stable will doubtless have him primed for this. Sin E Shekells finished third in a big-field apprentice-handicap at Navan and Oisin Enright is now able to use his full 10lb claim. The pair have bagged the best draw in stall one. Silver Nemo has had a good stint on the Polytrack in Dundalk, but has form on slower ground in Britain. He was last seen finishing a close third at Dundalk before Christmas. Siobhan Rutledge knows him well and takes a handy 5lb off his back. Aurora Nova has a tough draw, but could come home better than most. Sense Of Security's form is on better ground.

CELTIC MANOR did well in a handful of runs last season, including when making a winning return in this race, and is taken to do the same starting out for a new yard. Silver Nemo and Sin E Shekells head the dangers.

The easy ground will suit CELTIC MANOR who won a division of this first time out last year; note Silver Nemo and Sin E Shekells

1	2 1st (2) (1.88/1 +53%) Clear Angel	1.88 1.88/1(+53%)	(2) Clear Angel 1.88/1, Successful over C&D last June and stepped up on reappearance when sixth in a big field at Doncaster last month. One to consider from a handy mark. Never far away when sixth of 22 in a Class 2 handicap at Doncaster's Lincoln meeting..
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Forward Flight	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Forward Flight 12/1, Won a 1m Yarmouth handicap last spring but has struggled since, down the field at Lingfield on first outing since leaving Alan King. Might step forward from that. Struggled since winning a small-field Yarmouth handicap (1m, soft) for Alan King last May..
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 -40%) Nine Elms	7 7/1(-40%)	(8) Nine Elms 7/1, Has looked back to his best lately, scoring twice in a short space of time at Nottingham. Merits respect as he bids for hat-trick. His last four wins have come at Nottingham, the latest only last week; career-high mark..
4	14 4th (14) (9/1 +25%) Yellow Bear	9 9/1(+25%)	(14) Yellow Bear 9/1, Well treated and returned with a positive showing at Southwell. Failed to back it up at Ripon but tongue strap is back on and it's too soon to write him off. Won his novice over 1m on soft ground and could bounce back from last time..
5th	16 5th (16) (22/1 +12%) Mac Ailey	22 22/1(+12%)	(16) Mac Ailey 22/1, Resumed winning ways at Southwell (1m) in December and didn't do much wrong when runner-up over the same C&D next time. However, form took a turn for the worse since, and he has a poor strike rate on turf. Has to bounce back from two poor runs and he's an infrequent winner..
6th	11 6th (11) (40/1 -43%) Ahamoment	40 40/1(-43%)	(11) Ahamoment 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden who didn't fire in a handicap at Musselburgh 22 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Low mileage but no better than seventh in his two handicaps (7f/1m)..
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +0%) Zumurud	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Zumurud 12/1, Signed off last season with an excusable effort and ran well on previous outing, so not a forlorn hope if tuned up after 6 months off. Five-time winner but he's exposed and tends to need his early runs..
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 +0%) Frog And Toad	28 28/1(+0%)	(10) Frog And Toad 28/1, First run since leaving David O'Meara when last of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Ripon (8f, soft) 10 days ago, lost all chance at start. Quite consistent last year and might return to form if he breaks on terms. Didn't start this campaign with a bang on his debut for current yard when last at Ripon..
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 -25%) Absolute Dream	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Absolute Dream 20/1, Notched third win of last campaign when landing a big-field handicap over a mile at Doncaster last in September. Poor efforts to sign off, though, and might need his first run in 6 months. This mark isn't beyond him but looks best watched after a break..
10th	5 10th (5) (7.5/1 +38%) Perfect Swiss	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(5) Perfect Swiss 7.5/1, 11/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Performing with consistency of late and handicapper has given him a chance since latest effort. Fourth of 17 over 1m at Pontefract on his last turf run and off a similar mark..
11th	15 11th (15) (33/1 -32%) Darker	33 33/1(-32%)	(15) Darker 33/1, Hasn't shown much in 3 runs to date (left David O'Meara and off 8 months prior to latest effort). Faces a more realistic task in low-grade handicap for the first time. Poor so far and goes handicapping with much to prove..
12th	13 12th (13) (11/1 -10%) Engles Rock	11 11/1(-10%)	(13) Engles Rock 11/1, Consistent performer who is reliant on a solid gallop and didn't get it at Newcastle last time, shaping as if still in form. Should play a part if the race is run to suit. She won twice at Ayr last year and it was off this mark the last time..
13th	12 13th (12) (10/1 +17%) End Zone	10 10/1(+17%)	(12) End Zone 10/1, Hasn't won for a while but is becoming feasibly treated and wasn't seen to best effect at Pontefract last time. Not discounted. Capable on his day but recent form is not encouraging..
14th	6 14th (6) (22/1 -83%) Mr Trevor	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Mr Trevor 22/1, Three wins last season, including on penultimate outing at Newcastle, and final run at the same track is easily excused. Might need his return, however. Probably better on the synthetics and this is a belated first run over 1m..

LTO Selection:

5/1 (8) NINE ELMS is likely to do well as he has won his last four races, including the latest only last week, and is in good form. He is also bidding for a hat-trick and merits respect. 4/1 (2) CLEAR ANGEL and 10/1 (13) ENGLES ROCK are also worth considering as they have performed well in their previous races and have the potential to win.

Nine Elms has found another level of late and his latest 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold display. Roy Bowring's inmate, however, does have stall 15 to overcome and CLEAR ANGEL may thwart him in his bid to land a hat-trick. The five-year-old was far from disgraced when finishing sixth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster at the beginning of the month and he makes plenty of appeal off 2lb lower. Perfect Swiss completes the shortlist.

CLEAR ANGEL won here last season and his latest sixth in a competitive race at Doncaster looks like a solid piece of form, so he could be the answer to this wide-open contest. The hat-trick seeking Nine Elms is an obvious danger and End Zone warrants a mention.

Not many come here on the back of positive performances. CLEAR ANGEL (nap) is an exception after a good effort in the Spring Mile.

1	2 1st (2) (1.75/1 +47%) Jer Batt	1.75 1.75/1(+47%)	(2) Jer Batt 1.75/1, After 4 months off, made a winning stable debut in maiden at Southwell (5f) in February. Bumped into an improver when runner-up at the same C&D on his handicap bow 6 weeks later, so he's a major player with Billy Loughnane on board. Has done well on AW for new yard; key player if transferring improvement back to turf.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.5/1 -17%) Winter Crown	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(5) Winter Crown 3.5/1, On first outing since leaving Charlie Appleby after 9 months off (also gelded), opened account with a cosy success in 7-runner minor event at Newcastle (5f) in February. Not taken lightly as he now goes handicapping under good apprentice. Ex-Godolphin; won on stable debut in February and could have a part to play in first h'cap.
3	1 3rd (1) (8.5/1 -55%) Jm Jungle	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(1) Jm Jungle 8.5/1, On softer ground than previously, ran well after 7 months off (had been gelded) when third of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Successful on his second start last year and he can give another good account. Reappeared with good third at Thirsk last Saturday and every chance he'll be in the mix.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -67%) Belsito	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Belsito 20/1, Down in trip, showed improved form when off the mark in 7-runner minor event at Redcar (5f, good) on final start at 2 yrs. Off 7 months (gelded) ahead of his handicap debut. Second ride under Rules for his pilot. Redcar novice winner; both that form & pedigree suggest he has potential off opening mark.
5th	9 5th (9) (66/1 -164%) Royal Mariner	66 66/1(-164%)	(9) Royal Mariner 66/1, Kept busy at 2 yrs, winning at Lingfield (6f) on his first 2 starts in nurseries. Hasn't progressed since, though, in blinkers when sixth of 7 at the same C&D last time. First run for yard after leaving James Tate (has been gelded). Unproven on turf and may be best watched minus headgear on this stable debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -9%) Three Beauz	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Three Beauz 12/1, In first-time hood after 6 months off, produced a good effort despite meeting trouble when third of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 3 weeks ago. Task is now to build on that. Denied clear run when good third on reappearance and she's one to consider.
7th	3 7th (3) (6/1 +25%) Girl Magic	6 6/1(+25%)	(3) Girl Magic 6/1, Gained her second win at 2 yrs when successful at Chelmsford City (6f) in November. However, didn't manage to find any progress when fourth of 5 at Kempton on handicap debut at the start of the month. Reappeared with fair fourth of five on AW and could show the benefit of that run today.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 -133%) Kelpie Grey	28 28/1(-133%)	(7) Kelpie Grey 28/1, Progressed gradually in 3 starts last summer, still green when second of 6 in minor event at Hamilton (5f, good) on his final outing. Off 8 months (gelded) ahead of first run for yard after leaving Declan Carroll. Makes handicap debut. Pedigree suggests he could evolve into something better than a 71-rated sprinter.
9th	6 9th (6) (5.5/1 +35%) Wreck It Ryley	5.5 5.5/1(+35%)	(6) Wreck It Ryley 5.5/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Southwell (5f) in February and has been running well since his next outing, again finding only one too strong in 11-runner contest at Ripon (6f, soft) 10 days ago. Can go well again. Runner-up on his last four starts and can be bang there once more.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 +0%) Cuban Rock	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Cuban Rock 66/1, In first-time cheekpieces after just 7 days off, failed to build on his previous effort when seventh of 8 in nursery at Lingfield (7f, AW) when last seen in August. Others preferred as he drops back in trip following 8 months off (has been gelded). Second in C&D seller last June but didn't really threaten in handicaps later in summer.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 3/1 (5) WINTER CROWN and 3.33/1 (2) JER BATT seem to be the most promising contenders. 3/1 (5) WINTER CROWN has already won on stable debut and is now going handicapping under a good apprentice. 3.33/1 (2) JER BATT has done well on the all-weather and made a winning stable debut in February, and with Billy Loughnane onboard, could be a major player. 8.5/1 (6) WRECK IT RYLEY, 11/1 (8) THREE BEAUZ, and 12/1 (4) BELSITO also have potential based on their recent form. 12/1 (7) KELPIE GREY and 25/1 (9) ROYAL MARINER are more uncertain as they are making their handicap debuts for new yards, while 66/1 (10) CUBAN ROCK is not favored due to recent poor form and dropping back in trip. 8/1 (3) GIRL MAGIC may improve following a recent run but is considered less likely to contend.

With the likelihood of a strong pace, this could be run to suit GIRL MAGIC, who is unexposed in handicap company and should have little to fear from dropping back to the minimum trip. Her juvenile form stands up to scrutiny at this level and a big run can be expected from the Alice Haynes-trained filly. Wreck It Ryley is consistent and is a prime contender, although Three Beauz is weighted to reverse recent all-weather form with that rival and is also feared.

Having previously been trained in Ireland, JER BATT made a winning seasonal/stable debut at Southwell in February and, having bumped into an improver on his handicap bow last time, he is taken to resume winning ways with Billy Loughnane in the saddle. Winter Crown could be the main danger as he makes his first start in a handicap, ahead of Jm Jungle.

Having done well on AW since joining the Barron yard, JER BATT (nap) is taken to continue his good form and win on this return to turf.

LTO Selection:

2.75/1 (12) SENADO SQUARE is the most likely to do well based on the fact that he had five of his rivals behind him in his last race and is well worth another chance. He also has a previous win at Naas and has performed well on heavy ground. 4.5/1 (8) REDSHORE CITY and 6.5/1 (5) LITTLE KEILEE are also strong contenders based on their recent performances and suitability for the distance. 11/1 (11) AMERICAN IN PARIS has also shown a recent improvement in form and could be in the mix, while 12/1 (4) LISIEUX and 16/1 (1) DISTILLATE will need to bounce back from recent below-par performances. The remaining horses have limited appeal or need to improve significantly to be in contention.

There were excuses for SENADO SQUARE's below-par run at the Curragh and he is worth another chance. He was trainer Andrew Slattery's first winner of the turf season in Naas last month when winning comfortably by two lengths. He will relish cut in the ground. Redshore City was fourth to Senado Square in Naas and could have more to offer on only his third start on turf. Lisieux finished behind Senado Square in sixth at Naas, but she is coming down the weights and Adam Caffrey's 7lb claim is more than useful. Little Keilee was only beaten a pair of necks into third when last seen at Dundalk. She is unproven on the ground, but certainly has a chance at the weights.

SENADO SQUARE looked on the up when a ready scorer at Naas and is well worth forgiving his subsequent effort at the Curragh given he reportedly banged his head in the stalls. Recent Dundalk scorer American In Paris heads the list of dangers ahead of in-form pair Little Keilee and Redshore City.

Having had a legitimate excuse for his no-show at the Curragh, the powerfully-built Naas winner SENADO SQUARE can resume progress

Tongue strap back on. Can go well again. Dual 5f Tapeta winner in late 2022 and ran well when back on turf last week (6f).

Needs to get back on track. Awarded AW race in January and is on a workable mark if all goes to plan.
3	1 3rd (1) (4.5/1 +59%) It Just Takes Time	4.5 4.5/1(+59%)	(1) It Just Takes Time 4.5/1, Four-time 6f/7f winner in 2022 who raced wide when ninth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and can bounce back. Won four times in 2020 (6f-7.4f) but may find today's trip a bit sharp.
4	8 4th (8) (18/1 -29%) King Of Tonga	18 18/1(-29%)	(8) King Of Tonga 18/1, Four-time 5f scorer last year who looked rusty after 6 months off when fifteenth of 16 at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Can take a big step forward now. Won four times on turning tracks in 2022 but was never involved on recent reappearance.
5th	4 5th (4) (22/1 -83%) Oso Rapido	22 22/1(-83%)	(4) Oso Rapido 22/1, Fairly useful 6f winner but he came in only twelfth of 14 in 6f handicap at Newcastle in October. Sort to bounce back on his seasonal return though. Won off this mark last summer but absent since two down-the-field runs in the autumn.
6th	10 6th (10) (7.5/1 -88%) Black Friday	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(10) Black Friday 7.5/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2021 but he recorded a good second of 16 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 22 days ago, nearest finish. Firmly in the picture despite a 2 lb rise. Not the force of old but ran well over 5f on seasonal debut and this longer trip will suit.
7th	6 7th (6) (12/1 -9%) Sound Reason	12 12/1(-9%)	(6) Sound Reason 12/1, Had wind op/off 6 months before coming in only fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago.

8th	3 8th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Twelfth Knight	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(3) Twelfth Knight 5.5/1, Resumed winning ways after 7 months off on his yard debut in 12-runner handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 20 days ago. Back up 4 lb but well on top at the finish there so another bold showing is on the cards. Scored on recent seasonal/stable debut and today's 4lb higher mark ought to be manageable.
9th	7 9th (7) (6.5/1 +59%) Baba Reza	6.5 6.5/1(+59%)	(7) Baba Reza 6.5/1, Fairly useful 6f winner who saw the track only three times in 2022, left poorly placed when eighth of 16 at Haydock (6f) in September. In good hands so no forlorn hope on his return. Not far off best form when placed on second of three runs last year; has fitness to prove.
10th	5 10th (5) (4/1 +0%) Ey Up It's Maggie	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Ey Up It's Maggie 4/1, Resumed with 5f success at Doncaster and not disgraced when fifth off higher marks at Pontefract and Newmarket since. Remains high on the shortlist. Won with a bit in hand on seasonal debut; drops in grade after two very respectable runs.

LTO Selection:

5/1 (3) TWELFTH KNIGHT is likely to do well based on the summary. The horse has recently scored on a seasonal/stable debut and has a manageable 4lb higher mark. It seems to be in good form and is expected to show another bold performance.

TWELFTH KNIGHT appeared to win with something in hand on his stable/seasonal debut for Ruth Carr at Redcar earlier in the month and the handicapper may have let him in lightly off only 4lb higher. Hiya Maite lost little in defeat when placing third at Thirsk recently and he should be in the mix once more running off the same mark. Black Friday should appreciate this extended 5f trip and is another to note.

TWELFTH KNIGHT capitalised on a much-reduced mark when getting off the mark at Redcar on his first run for Ruth Carr and can make light of a 4 lb rise in the weights here. In-form Ey Up It's Maggie remains handily weighted and seems sure to have a say, with both Sound Reason and Hiya Maite in the mix too in an open sprint.

Today's slightly longer trip is sure to suit BLACK FRIDAY, who ran a big race in defeat over 5f at Musselburgh this month.

1	7 1st (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Love Billy Boy	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(7) Love Billy Boy 2.25/1, Foaled February 20. £90,000 yearling, Invincible Army colt. Half-brother to 1¼m-12.5f winner Kanzino. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Areen. Speedily-bred newcomer is worth a market check. From powerful southern yard & could go well on debut, especially if strong in the betting.
2	8 2nd (8) (4.5/1 +55%) Moonstone Boy	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(8) Moonstone Boy 4.5/1, Calyx colt produced a promising first effort when third of 8 in minor event at this C&D (soft, 8/1) on debut 22 days ago, perhaps caught bit wider than ideal. Will progress. Fair third over C&D on debut and open to improvement; could be involved.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Myconian	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(2) Myconian 2.5/1, Magna Grecia colt looked sharp when winning 13-runner newcomers race at Saint-Cloud 38 days ago, always holding a narrow advantage and responding to pressure when tackled. Should progress. Won in France on debut and dam was 5f 2yo Listed winner; could have plenty more to offer.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 +17%) Lochaber	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(6) Lochaber 7.5/1, Foaled February 1. 37,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Dam useful 2-y-o 5f winner. Bred to be sharp and merits respect on debut. Bred to be speedy and respected trainer won this last year; in calculations on debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) East Bank	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) East Bank 4.5/1, Aclaim colt. Knew his job and knuckled down well when winning 9-runner minor event at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut 11 days ago. Entitled to improve. Won on recent debut at Beverley; speedier track today but not ruled out under penalty.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -13%) Dark Points	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Dark Points 18/1, Blue Point colt. Made appeal on paper but couldn't keep up from halfway when fourth of 5 in minor event at Leicester (5f, heavy) on debut 16 days ago. Needs to leave that form behind. Flopped on debut but on heavy ground and could be a different proposition here.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to make a definitive prediction as there are several horses with potential to do well. However, 3/1 (3) BLUE PRINCE, 3.5/1 (2) MYCONIAN, 3.5/1 (7) LOVE BILLY BOY, and 10/1 (8) MOONSTONE BOY all show promise after their respective debut performances and are worth keeping an eye on.

It's difficult to evaluate the depth of the maiden MYCONIAN won in France last month but he showed tenacity that day and may well be able to cope with the penalty imposed for that success. East Bank has the same burden after his triumph over this trip at Beverley 11 days ago and he too merits serious consideration. Moonstone Boy is the pick of the rest given his previous C&D experience, although Lochaber is an interesting newcomer.

A decent heat, in which BLUE PRINCE is fancied to build upon the evident promise of his debut over C&D 3 weeks ago and get off the mark with the benefit of experience under his belt. Myconian showed speed and a good attitude when winning on debut in France and is feared most, whilst Beverley scorer East Bank and Moonstone Boy, who finished ahead of the selection last time, are also in the mix.

Newmarket challenger MYCONIAN carries a penalty against some interesting rivals but the form of his French win has been boosted.

16:25 Sligo Handicap 13f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (16/1 +20%) Nostra Casa	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Nostra Casa 16/1, 150/1, fourteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy). Off over 2 years. First run for yard after leaving Brian Francis Cawley. Tongue strap on for 1st time, cheekpieces on for 1st time. New headgear combination tried but likely best watched after two-year absence.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Grappa Nonino	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(4) Grappa Nonino 3.33/1, 8/1, respectable fifth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Potentially well treated returning to this sphere. Still improving 4yo could have more to offer back on the Flat and good chance of staying.
3	10 3rd (10) (10/1 +0%) Lariat	10 10/1(+0%)	(10) Lariat 10/1, Two wins from 50 Flat runs. 80/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Modest on the Flat. Others make more appeal. Heavily raced Bellewstown winner last year for Ado McGuinness; recent hurdles form modest.
4	13 4th (13) (25/1 +11%) Mythical Times	25 25/1(+11%)	(13) Mythical Times 25/1, 22/1, sixteenth of 21 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Others more persuasive. Lacks a recent run and wide draw here so others preferred.
5th	9 5th (9) (4.5/1 -35%) Elle Dorado Rock	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(9) Elle Dorado Rock 4.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, very good second of 12 in handicap at Gowran (13.7f, soft, 9/1) 11 days ago, faring best of those held up. Has to be taken seriously. Recent Gowran second rates a major player off 4lb higher.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 +22%) Five Zeros	14 14/1(+22%)	(1) Five Zeros 14/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to firm, 11/2). Off 8 months. Hood back on. Others more persuasive. Progressive last season and runs well fresh so don't rule out.
7th	2 7th (2) (8.5/1 +47%) Rock On Pedro	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(2) Rock On Pedro 8.5/1, Below form seventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 12/1) 50 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Fair on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Cheekpieces tried for flat return here but wide draw a likely negative.
8th	6 8th (6) (2/1 +43%) Kalmira	2 2/1(+43%)	(6) Kalmira 2/1, Very good second of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, heavy, 12/1) 32 days ago, clear of rest. Should give another good account. Last month's clear Navan second a player despite 6lb hike.
9th	14 9th (14) (14/1 +36%) No Hassle	14 14/1(+36%)	(14) No Hassle 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 18 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy, 33/1). Off 6 months. Fair effort in Galway handicap when last seen in October; others preferred.
10th	5 10th (5) (22/1 -10%) Jomont	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Jomont 22/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (10.2f). Off 6 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Michael Dods. Not easy to make a case for. 2,000gns buy from Michael Dods; probably best watched on yard debut.
11th	12 11th (12) (50/1 -52%) Dixon Line	50 50/1(-52%)	(12) Dixon Line 50/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16f, good to soft, 40/1) 56 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Others make more appeal. Precious little over hurdles of late although did run well in late-season Flat handicaps.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (66/1 -65%) Keep Sharp	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Keep Sharp 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, first run since leaving J. S. Bolger when creditable seventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (12f). Off 144 days. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. Of limited appeal on handicap debut upped markedly in trip.

LTO Selection:

3.33/1 (9) ELLE DORADO ROCK rates as a major player off a 4lb higher mark and his recent form suggests he should be taken seriously. 3.5/1 (6) KALMIRA also has good recent form and is a player despite a 6lb hike in the weights. 4/1 (4) GRAPPA NONINO has potential and is returning to the flat after a respectable performance in a juvenile hurdle at Ascot. 7/1 (7) WILD SHOT and 10/1 (10) LARIAT have modest recent form and are unlikely to feature, while 14/1 (11) LISSADELL, 16/1 (2) ROCK ON PEDRO, 16/1 (15) DER MC, 18/1 (1) FIVE ZEROS, 18/1 (16) LEX MAXIMA, 18/1 (17) DOLLAR VALUE, 20/1 (5) JOMONT, 20/1 (8) NOSTRA CASA, 22/1 (14) NO HASSLE, 28/1 (13) MYTHICAL TIMES, 33/1 (12) DIXON LINE, and 40/1 (3) KEEP SHARP are all viewed as less appealing options.

ELLE DORADO ROCK showed much improved form when reverting to the Flat recently after a three-month break. The Tony Martin-trained gelding beat all bar hot favourite Striking over a similar distance at Gowran Park and a 4lb rise seems fair enough. Grappa Nonino may prove the chief threat. He showed promise on the Flat last year including when going close at the Curragh off a 3lb higher mark and was well-supported when beating Media Naranja in a Navan maiden hurdle last month. Kalmira won on the all-weather at Dundalk early last year but also handles cut in the ground and shaped well on her reappearance at Navan last month. The lightly raced mare pulled clear of the remainder when second to Black Hawk Eagle but now races off a 6lb higher rating.

GRAPPA NONINO has done quite well over hurdles since last seen in this discipline and he's on an appealing mark, so gets the nod ahead of Elle Dorado Rock, who shaped really well at Gowran last time out. Kalmira is the pick of the remainder.

Elle Dorado Rock will head the market but there may be more value to be had in GRAPPA NONINO

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (14/1 +13%) Dandy Spirit	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Dandy Spirit 14/1, Dual winner over 6f at Pontefract last summer but not troubled the judge since and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Blinkers back on. Now 8lb lower than last winning mark but way below form at 5f this season; blinkers back.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 +20%) Star Of Aria	20 20/1(+20%)	(2) Star Of Aria 20/1, Largely ran well in 2022 but little encouragement taken from either outing this year. Relatively lightly raced; did not show much on soft ground on either start this term.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -78%) High Opinion	4 4/1(-78%)	(1) High Opinion 4/1, Generally progressive last season and shaped as if better for run when sixth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Doncaster (5f, heavy) 28 days ago. Likely contender. Won at Nottingham (5f, soft) in October; not so good in two runs since but not disgraced.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 -45%) Canaria Prince	8 8/1(-45%)	(5) Canaria Prince 8/1, Bagged 3 victories (all 5f) last season and reappears on a feasible mark. Conditions should suit and is one for the shortlist. Three 5f wins last year from the front, the last of them on good to soft; considered.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 +67%) Jackmeister Rudi	4 4/1(+67%)	(8) Jackmeister Rudi 4/1, Didn't get home over 7f at Thirsk last time and posted creditable fourth at Wolverhampton (6.1f) previously. Others more appealing, though. Rare run over 7f did not go well on return to turf, but too well handicapped to be ignored.
6th	3 6th (3) (6.5/1 +46%) Shark Two One	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(3) Shark Two One 6.5/1, On a lengthy losing run and no impact in a couple of runs on AW earlier this year. Plenty to prove back on turf here. 17lb higher this time last year; his only other run over short of 6f was in August 2020.
7th	10 7th (10) (18/1 -13%) One For The Ladies	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) One For The Ladies 18/1, Belatedly off the mark at Newcastle (6f) in September 2021 but not seen for 18 months and market should prove best guide to claims on return to action. Won well on penultimate start (AW) but absent 562 days since a flop on latest.
8th	6 8th (6) (14/1 +0%) Wade's Magic	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Wade's Magic 14/1, Ended last season below form but the handicapper has reacted accordingly and he wasn't seen to best effect on return at Thirsk last week. Each-way player. Did not have the best of runs eight days ago but could still be one for later on.
9th	9 9th (9) (4.5/1 +0%) Rainbow Rain	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(9) Rainbow Rain 4.5/1, Off the mark at Redcar (6f) in June and not disgraced off 5 lb higher over same C&D the following month. Should be straighter for recent return and enters calculations with visor back on. Fair fourth on soft on reappearance, first run since July; return of the visor could help.
10th	7 10th (7) (12/1 -60%) Variety Island	12 12/1(-60%)	(7) Variety Island 12/1, Just 1 win from 16 starts but ended last year with creditable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/1) and reappears on a workable mark. Minor honours last term included first and final starts; not proven on softer than good.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 5.5/1 (5) CANARIA PRINCE and 2.25/1 (1) HIGH OPINION seem to be the strongest contenders, with 4.5/1 (9) RAINBOW RAIN and 14/1 (6) WADE'S MAGIC also potential each-way players. The rest of the field seems less likely to win.

HIGH OPINION drops in class following a below-par run over 5f at Doncaster earlier this month and he can build on that now rated just 3lb above his last winning mark. Any market support should not be ignored for the gelded son of Hellvelyn, but Canaria Prince can give the selection plenty to think about on his return from a break. Variety Island is another to bear in mind.

HIGH OPINION is still low mileage and should be straighter for his Doncaster return earlier this month. He gets the nod. Rainbow Rain and Canaria Prince can also make their presence felt.

With a run under his belt and the visor restored, RAINBOW RAIN has a fair bit going for him considering this looks a weak race.

16:45 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (1.88/1 +25%) Elim	1.88 1.88/1(+25%)	(10) Elim 1.88/1, Promising sort who landed the odds with loads to spare in Newcastle maiden over this trip last month. Opening mark demands improvement racing on turf now, but that is entirely possible. Won Newcastle maiden on third start and this unexposed 3yo brings potential to h'cap debut.
2	12 2nd (12) (6.5/1 -8%) Iato's Angel	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(12) Iato's Angel 6.5/1, Won 1 of her 6 starts in 2022 and acquitted herself well in defeat in 3 AW outings this year before resuming winning ways back on turf at Redcar (10f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, pulling clear with a subsequent winner. Big shout up only 4 lb. Won over 1m2f at Redcar recently; the way she travelled provides hope that 1m will be okay.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +10%) Ana Gold	9 9/1(+10%)	(3) Ana Gold 9/1, Steadily progressive last season but failed to get her head in front, placed last 5 starts. Has since left Richard Fahey. Winless but consistent last year and can be bang there if reappearing in similar form.
4	8 4th (8) (3.5/1 +22%) Mystic Pearl	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(8) Mystic Pearl 3.5/1, Progressive last season, winning a Thirsk novice before close third on nursery debut at Newmarket. Good second on AW debut at Southwell on return and doesn't have that much to find. Has gone close in both handicaps and this 3yo is open to further improvement for top yard.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 +27%) Vindobala	16 16/1(+27%)	(4) Vindobala 16/1, Unreliable type. Last 4 wins have come at Newcastle but well held last 3 starts on turf last season so opposable back on this surface. Some good form on AW this year; effective on turf but has much better strike-rate on AW.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 +11%) Celtic Empress	25 25/1(+11%)	(2) Celtic Empress 25/1, Twice a winner last season but may need this and others look better treated. Two wins last year but may need to drop a few pounds in the weights before she wins again.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 +0%) Floral Splendour	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Floral Splendour 33/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 11-runner 7f maiden at Haydock in July. Hasn't gone on from that in the way one may have anticipated but starts the new campaign off a fair mark at least. Stable debut 4th here last October was pretty encouraging & she's an interesting contender.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 -57%) Gometra Ginty	22 22/1(-57%)	(6) Gometra Ginty 22/1, 3-time C&D winner who often gives her running, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, soft) when last seen in October. Made a winning reappearance over C&D 2 years ago so must be respected. Kept to 7f last season but this three-time C&D winner is respected on her return.
9th	9 9th (9) (5.5/1 -22%) Chealamy	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(9) Chealamy 5.5/1, Stepped up on 2-y-o form when runner-up on handicap bow at Southwell, beaten only by a well-treated rival who had the benefit of race fitness. Should go on improving so very much a player under Billy Loughnane. Runner-up on handicap/seasonal debut at Southwell; in good hands to continue to progress.
10th	11 10th (11) (25/1 +0%) Elladora	25 25/1(+0%)	(11) Elladora 25/1, Exposed sort who has made a good start to the season, runner-up at Newcastle on return before going one better at Southwell (both class 6s). Likely to find this too competitive, however. Won at Southwell 3 weeks ago but she's going from a 0-55 into a 0-80; this could be tough.
11th	5 11th (5) (28/1 -75%) Wadacre Grace	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Wadacre Grace 28/1, Continues to hold her form well, winning 2 of her last 4 starts, and was a creditable third off a career-high mark at Lingfield 4 days ago. Unraced on turf since debut (well held). Progressive front-runner on AW this spring; can make a bold bid if return to turf is okay.
12th	1 12th (1) (66/1 -32%) Sound Of Iona	66 66/1(-32%)	(1) Sound Of Iona 66/1, Typically kept busy last year, winning 4 times from 19 starts. However, ended the campaign out of form and has needed reappearance for the last 3 seasons. Four wins last year but unproven over 1m and may need this comeback outing.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (10) ELIM and 4.5/1 (8) MYSTIC PEARL are the most promising horses. 2.5/1 (10) ELIM has won a maiden and is unexposed, while 4.5/1 (8) MYSTIC PEARL has performed well in handicaps and is open to further improvement. They both seem to have potential to do well in their respective races.

It's possible that MYSTIC PEARL was simply in need of the run when she failed to justify good support on last month's reappearance at Southwell. That was her first attempt over a mile and, given she is likely to be seen to better effect back on turf, the daughter of Invincible Spirit has a lot going for her this time. Ana Gold is interesting starting out for a new yard, while Chealamy is unexposed and surely has more to offer.

IATO'S ANGEL showed improved form to resume winning ways back on turf at Redcar 2 weeks ago, pulling clear with a subsequent winner, and the way she travelled suggests the drop back to this trip won't be a problem. This will be tougher, but she is only 4 lb higher so is taken to follow up. The 3-y-os could well dominate with progressive-pair Chealamy and Elim heading the dangers.

William Haggas has an excellent record at Musselburgh and the lightly raced 3yo MYSTIC PEARL is taken to come out on top.

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (3.5/1 +46%) Tellthemi'mhere	3.5 3.5/1(+46%)	(9) Tellthemi'mhere 3.5/1, Off the mark on return/yard debut when taking 14-runner handicap (15/2) at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. 8 lb higher now but likely to go well again. Bellewstown winner officially 2lb wrong here could well make a bold bid.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +56%) Marvelosa	4 4/1(+56%)	(6) Marvelosa 4/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Tipperary (12.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Likely contender. Remains of interest and this intermediate trip could be what she's looking for.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +20%) La Dame Blanche	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) La Dame Blanche 4/1, Respectable third of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 11 days ago. Return to this longer trip will suit and is one for shortlist. Needs to settle better to see out this trip but sharp track should suit and should go well.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +36%) Pachmena	9 9/1(+36%)	(8) Pachmena 9/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. 18/1, eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 157 days ago. Off 157 days. Fairly useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Others more persuasive. Hard to win with but respected despite being 1lb wrong here.
5th	2 5th (2) (2.5/1 +38%) Miramis	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(2) Miramis 2.5/1, 25/1, good 4½ lengths sixth of 14 to Juncture in listed race at Dundalk (8f). Off 177 days. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Ms Sheila Lavery. Others preferred. Bought for 30,000gns and reappears for new yard off a stiff-looking mark.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 +14%) Disco Boots	6 6/1(+14%)	(3) Disco Boots 6/1, 20/1, 18½ lengths eleventh of 12 to Yaxeni in listed race at Naas (11.9f, heavy). Off 6 months. Something to find on form. Last summer's Roscommon winner seemingly has a bit to find off this mark.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 -79%) Your Eyes Only	50 50/1(-79%)	(4) Your Eyes Only 50/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good, 10/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Others more persuasive. C&D maiden winner last summer for Willie Mullins; probably a bit high in the handicap.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary, as there are multiple horses that are considered likely contenders. However, 5/1 (7) LA DAME BLANCHE is one to consider for the shortlist, as a return to the longer trip should suit. 9/1 (6) MARVELOSA is also of interest and could perform well at this intermediate trip. Additionally, 6/1 (9) TELLTHEMI'MHERE has recently won a handicap and could make a bold bid despite being 2lb wrong here.

LA DAME BLANCHE won a Gowran Park maiden on just her second start last year and has returned in good form this season. The Mick Mulvany-trained filly shaped well over a similar trip at Leopardstown before again making the running when third to the progressive American Sonja in a valuable handicap at Gowran with Mary Salome back in fourth. Tellthemi'mhere made a successful start for new connections when finishing well to score over a mile at Bellewstown earlier this month and now tackles this trip for the first time. Your Eyes Only won a maiden over this C&D for Willie Mullins last summer and was far from disgraced subsequently over a bit further in a handicap at the Galway Festival. Disco Boots went close here last year before scoring in good style at Roscommon while Dha Leath takes a drop in class after a creditable run in the Lincoln.

This can go to DHA LEATH, who shaped well over a shorter trip on her return at the Curragh last month. Tellthemi'mhere and La Dame Blanche rate the principal dangers.

Quite competitive, preference is for LA DAME BLANCHE, who can see this out if settling better

Will stay the additional 2f here and can make presence felt on turf debut. Makes another step up in trip for today's turf debut and she should stay well.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.25/1 -50%) Cinnodin	2.25 2.25/1(-50%)	(2) Cinnodin 2.25/1, Improved for the step up in trip when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February before following up in 3-runner event at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago. Should continue progressing and looks the one to beat on turf debut. Won over 1m4f (last gasp) and 1m6f (by 8l, three ran) on Tapeta in his two handicaps.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.25/1 +10%) Michael's Pledge	2.25 2.25/1(+10%)	(3) Michael's Pledge 2.25/1, Half-brother to smart stayer Coltrane but showed very little in maiden/minor event company late last year. Since been gelded and is significantly up in trip for his handicap bow, so any market support would be of note. Stamina in family; could be seen in a much more positive light on handicap/seasonal debut.
4	5 4th (5) (6.5/1 -18%) Queenmambo	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(5) Queenmambo 6.5/1, Creditable second of 4 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 21 days ago. Up in trip again but has previously shown her effectiveness on turf and has place claims again in another weak contest with good-value claimer aboard. Last two starts showed she stays 1m4f and may well prove suited by this step up in trip.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 +78%) Have You A Minute	11 11/1(+78%)	(7) Have You A Minute 11/1, Muhaarar gelding finished well beaten in minor events and a maiden in the second half of last year. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. Huge prices when towards rear in three runs last autumn; has stamina in the family.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -100%) Ten Bob Note	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Ten Bob Note 20/1, Only minor encouragement in trio of maiden/novice events towards back end of last year. Prominent in the betting on handicap debut last time but ultimately shaped as if needing run. May make more impact here. Again cut little ice on handicap debut (1m4f, soft) early this month; dam 2m winner.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 -133%) Red Bird	28 28/1(-133%)	(6) Red Bird 28/1, Well-bred sort finished down the field in a trio of minor events late last year and looked a very difficult ride when beaten 23 lengths by Cinnodin in 3-runner handicap at Southwell last time. Blinkers now applied but she's opposable on balance. Beat just one rival in four starts; hopes seem to be pinned on the first-time headgear.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -79%) Happy Dancer	50 50/1(-79%)	(8) Happy Dancer 50/1, Could hardly have shown any less in a trio of minor events last term and would surely need to improve to make an impact on handicap debut even in relatively weak company as this is. Behind in his three runs over 7.4f/1m on good ground last July-September.

LTO Selection:

1.5/1 (2) CINNODIN is predicted to do well based on the summary provided. The horse has won over 1m4f and 1m6f on Tapeta in two handicaps and has continued to progress, winning a handicap debut at Wolverhampton in February and following up in a 3-runner event at Southwell. The summary suggests that 1.5/1 (2) CINNODIN should continue to progress and looks to be the one to beat on turf debut.

An emphatic winner over this trip at Southwell last time out, it could be worth siding with CINNODIN on his turf debut. He is rated 6lb higher for the aforementioned success, but that may not be enough to stop him landing a treble here. Queenmambo filled the runner-up spot on her last outing, also at Southwell, and is feared most, while Red Bird completes the shortlist in first-time blinkers.

The hat-trick seeking CINNODIN probably hasn't finished improving following victories at Wolverhampton and Southwell and he looks hard to beat now switched to turf. Rock N Roll Pinkie stepped forward on her handicap bow last time and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the longer trip, so appeals as the one to follow the selection home ahead of Queenmambo.

It's CINNODIN who has done most to show he has what it takes, ahead of Rock N Roll Pinkie and Queenmambo.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (11/1 +8%) Fairmac	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Fairmac 11/1, Now 2 lb lower than when scoring over this trip at Brighton last summer. Arrives fit from AW and this largely consistent sort is capable of bouncing back from a below-par effort at Lingfield on Good Friday. Down the field last time but yard's horses can swiftly bounce back to form; on handy mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 +8%) Ravenscraig Castle	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Ravenscraig Castle 11/1, Out of sorts at the end of last summer but he's capable of useful form at his best and has dropped to a favourable mark if reviving after an 8-month break. One to note in the betting. Return to form needed but he's dropped down the weights and has a good record when fresh.
3	1 3rd (1) (7.5/1 -67%) Notimeforanother	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(1) Notimeforanother 7.5/1, Second in a turf bumper in the autumn and has taken very well to AW Flat this year, winning 1m Newcastle novice before proving well suited by the step up to 1¾m when making a successful handicap debut at Southwell last month. 6 lb rise looks manageable for a 4-y-o who should have more to offer. Now 2-4 on the Flat and could be just the type to continue to improve; player.
4	13 4th (13) (28/1 +0%) Glasses Up	28 28/1(+0%)	(13) Glasses Up 28/1, Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (1m, good to soft) on reappearance 22 days ago. Step back up in trip should suit but others are still preferred. Return to form needed but the reduced mark and step back up in trip are positives.
5th	14 5th (14) (14/1 -17%) Angels Landing	14 14/1(-17%)	(14) Angels Landing 14/1, Struggled over hurdles this winter but made a promising return to the Flat after wind surgery when second of 8 at Chelmsford (1¼m) 17 days ago, keeping on from further back than ideal. Interesting now back up in trip. Returned from wind op with good second at Chelmsford this month and she's a possible.
6th	5 6th (5) (18/1 -50%) Real Terms	18 18/1(-50%)	(5) Real Terms 18/1, Three wins last year, including on reappearance. Trainer tends to target this series so no surprise to see her go well back from 6 months off. 3 wins last year; further improvement can't be ruled out but it's needed on reappearance.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 -29%) Arrange	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Arrange 9/1, Successful over C&D last August and just as good when placed at Redcar and Pontefract on final 2 outings last year. Has gone well fresh before. Not discounted. Won over C&D last August on sole course start; could play a leading role if fully tuned up.
8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 +31%) A La Francaise	11 11/1(+31%)	(12) A La Francaise 11/1, Opened her account at Hamilton (11f) in September. Not disgraced from out of the handicap in York Class 2 on final start. Unexposed around this trip and could have more to offer in 2023. Tough task to end last season but steady improvement for new yard previously.
9th	10 9th (10) (11/1 +21%) Alpine Stroll	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Alpine Stroll 11/1, Gained second success of last season over 2m at Nottingham in August. Exploits mixed next 3 starts but better for his reappearance run when third at Bath (11.5f) 23 days ago. Entitled to be reaching peak fitness now but this is a tougher assignment. Two wins last summer over 1m6f/2m but he may prefer a longer trip than this.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/1 +0%) Heights Of Abraham	11 11/1(+0%)	(3) Heights Of Abraham 11/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, good second of 15 in handicap at Ayr Western meeting (13f, good) when last seen in September. One of 2 runners for last year's winning stable. Short-head second of 15 at Ayr last September; bang there if reappearing in similar form.
11th	11 11th (11) (7/1 +36%) Dark Mystery	7 7/1(+36%)	(11) Dark Mystery 7/1, Winner over this trip at Newbury last summer for Ian Williams. Faded into sixth on Kempton hurdle and stable debut over Christmas and not seen since. Has had wind surgery since (also tongue tied first time). Returns to action having had wind surgery and he's on a competitive mark; not ruled out.
12th	9 12th (9) (9/1 -20%) Active Duty	9 9/1(-20%)	(9) Active Duty 9/1, Fair juvenile hurdler for this yard. No match for a smart prospect in novice company at Wolverhampton on his return to the Flat 3 weeks ago but much more realistic chance back in a handicap. One to consider. Respectable run when back on the Flat three weeks ago and he's not ruled out.
13th	6 13th (6) (8/1 +33%) Knightswood	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Knightswood 8/1, Didn't make the anticipated progress after maiden/novice wins at the start of last summer but he's fairly unexposed over 1½m and there's still time for him to get back on the up. Also capable when fresh. Didn't progress in 3yo campaign but might now kick on having been gelded.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (7.5/1 +58%) Muzaffar	7.5 7.5/1(+58%)	(7) Muzaffar 7.5/1, Won 11f Southwell novice in February and creditable 1¼ lengths third in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) the following month. Faded to finish down the field in a warm race at Lingfield on Good Friday but he remains unexposed after only 7 starts, particularly on turf. Cheekpieces on first time. Beaten in AW handicaps the last twice but remains lightly raced and now gets headgear.

LTO Selection:

4.5/1 (1) NOTIMEFORANOTHER, 7/1 (4) ARRANGE, and 11/1 (11) DARK MYSTERY are the most likely to do well based on their recent performances, potential for improvement, and competitive marks. However, 12/1 (2) RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE and 12/1 (14) ANGELS LANDING could also be considered as potential contenders due to their ability to perform well when fresh and recent promising returns from a break and wind surgery, respectively.

NOTIMEFORANOTHER regained the winning thread when successful on his handicap debut over 1m6f at Southwell last month and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. His stablemate Heights Of Abraham was denied victory by a short-head at Ayr in September and is feared most if ready to roll on seasonal debut, with C&D winner Arrange another returning rival to be interested in.

Another very competitive handicap. NOTIMEFORANOTHER's Market Rasen bumper third last autumn suggests he should be at home now tackling turf for the first time on the Flat and he's selected to make light of a 6 lb rise for his convincing Southwell success and provide Keith Dalgleish with back-to-back wins in this race. Active Duty, who was placed off a higher mark on the Flat in Ireland, and Angels Landing head the many dangers.

This could go to the Charlie Johnston-trained KNIGHTSWOOD. He returns having been gelded, which could unlock some improvement.

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (1.38/1 +45%) Whisky On The Hill	1.38 1.38/1(+45%)	(7) Whisky On The Hill 1.38/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Took a step forward when good third of 13 in handicap at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not ideally placed. 2 lb rise fair and likely more to come yet. Flew home at Cork 9 days ago, still looking green; major player off 2lb higher.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Notturno	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(2) Notturno 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 7/2) 10 days ago, never nearer. Blinkers on 1st time. Must enter calculations. Staying-on Tipperary fifth now has blinkers fitted and longer trip should suit.
3	9 3rd (9) (5/1 +75%) Show No Fear	5 5/1(+75%)	(9) Show No Fear 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 25/1) 10 days ago. Improvement required. Inexperienced rider stopped riding prematurely at Tipperary last time; could improve.
4	4 4th (4) (6.5/1 +35%) Upepo	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(4) Upepo 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f). Off 163 days. May do better now upped in trip for handicap debut. Not much to show in 2yo maidens; gelded since and potential improver but high enough mark.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 +64%) Allesnick	18 18/1(+64%)	(5) Allesnick 18/1, Last of 16 in nursery at Galway (7f, heavy, 40/1). Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes limited appeal. Different headgear combination now tried and bred to appreciate this sort of trip.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +61%) Thats Jet	11 11/1(+61%)	(6) Thats Jet 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Others look better treated. Not too much went right at Tipperary recently; potential improver given better luck.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 -57%) Monnow Valley	11 11/1(-57%)	(10) Monnow Valley 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Showed more than previously, in first-time blinkers, when third of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 100/1) 10 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Claims if building on that. Recent Tipperary third an improvement but longer trip here may not suit.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 +45%) Fuli	18 18/1(+45%)	(8) Fuli 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Richard John O'Brien when eleventh of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good to soft, 18/1) 10 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Good bit to find with some of today's rivals on recent Tipperary run.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will perform well with the limited information provided. However, 2.5/1 (7) WHISKY ON THE HILL seems to have potential for improvement and has been described as a major player in the upcoming race despite being lightly-raced. 3/1 (2) NOTTURNO also has potential with the addition of blinkers and a longer trip, while 7/1 (10) MONNOW VALLEY could also be a contender if building on their recent improvement with the addition of a visor.

The 1m1f Tipperary handicap won by Apprentice ten days ago looks a key piece of form with six runners in that event renewing rivalry and perhaps TIMELESS PIECE may now come out on top. Not a lot went right for the selection on that occasion as she reared coming out of the stalls and didn't get the clearest of runs in the straight. On the bare form she's closely matched with Notturno, who now wears blinkers for the first time, and Show No Fear. The latter's inexperienced rider was suspended for mistaking the winning post and easing his mount in the final 100 yards. Monnow Valley was prominently ridden to finish third in that Tipperary race but may not be suited by this longer trip. Whisky On The Hill finished well when a close third on his handicap debut at Cork and is certainly one for the shortlist.

This can go to WHISKY ON THE HILL, who shaped better than bare result on handicap debut at Cork recently and remains low mileage. Monnow Valley and Notturno rate the principal dangers.

One who could trump them all is WHISKY ON THE HILL, who fairly flew home over this trip at Cork recently when still looking green

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +11%) Gincident	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Gincident 4/1, Improver this winter, winning 3 times on AW (latest at Wolverhampton) and posting another very good effort back on turf when runner-up over C&D 22 days ago. Well in the mix off an unchanged mark. Runner-up in good C&D handicap three weeks ago and holds solid claims off the same mark.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +17%) Urban Sprawl	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Urban Sprawl 5/1, Likeable type who signed off for 2022 with back-to-back 7f nursery wins at Sandown and Ascot. Up another 3 lb but this game front-runner rates a big player on his return with this step up to 1m a plus. Won final two nurseries last year and he's in good hands to continue to progress.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 -71%) Out Of Shadows	6 6/1(-71%)	(2) Out Of Shadows 6/1, Gelded/off 6 months before landing 7f handicap at Wolverhampton 20 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's still not taken lightly back on turf now up in distance. Did it nicely on reappearance at Wolverhampton and he's respected up 5lb.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +38%) Prairie Falcon	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Prairie Falcon 5/1, Dual 6f/7f winner last summer and he wasn't disgraced after 6 months off when fourth of 7 at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 19 days ago. Should prove effective over this longer trip. Possibilities. Kept on to win 7f nursery at Glorious Goodwood & this first crack at 1m is well worth a go.
5th	11 5th (11) (6.5/1 +59%) No Barrier	6.5 6.5/1(+59%)	(11) No Barrier 6.5/1, Fair maiden who arrives in good nick, third of 8 in 1m handicap at Southwell 68 days ago. Gelded since and needs considering back on turf off a 1 lb lower mark. Ran well in February last time out and gelded since; open to further improvement; chance.
6th	9 6th (9) (6.5/1 -8%) Spioradalta	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(9) Spioradalta 6.5/1, Got off the mark at Catterick (7f) in September and in good form since, runner-up in 1m Ripon handicap 10 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. Placed on both starts this spring and he might not be far away.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/1 +21%) El Montejean	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) El Montejean 11/1, Runner-up in 7f Newcastle novice in October but held on his handicap debut there following month. More is needed back up to 1m on his seasonal return. Has shown promise but he was down the field in his sole handicap; others more compelling.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -127%) Bajan Bandit	50 50/1(-127%)	(8) Bajan Bandit 50/1, Made a winning debut in 7f Salisbury maiden last July but he looked ill at ease on the track when last of 4 in 1m nursery at Newmarket on his final run for Richard Hannon. Changed hands for 20,000gns (also gelded) and he's worth another chance for his new handler. Market check advised on stable debut but he returns with something to prove.
9th	5 9th (5) (10/1 +0%) Venetian	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Venetian 10/1, Fair juvenile winner who ended 2022 with success in 8.5f Wolverhampton nursery in November. One for the shortlist on return (has been gelded) despite taking a 3 lb rise. 2 2yo wins; gelded since; attractive pedigree provides optimism he still has more to offer.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that stand out as potential contenders include 3.5/1 (2) OUT OF SHADOWS, 4.5/1 (4) GINCIDENT, 6/1 (3) URBAN SPRAWL, 8/1 (7) PRAIRIE FALCON, and 16/1 (11) NO BARRIER. These horses have either performed well in recent races, shown improvement over time, or have undergone changes (such as gelding) that may contribute to better performance. That being said, it is important to note that horse racing is inherently unpredictable and any horse has the potential to win on any given day.

Urban Sprawl displaying a willing attitude when completing a double at Ascot in September and the son of Iffraaj isn't taken lightly off 3lb higher. However, he may prove vulnerable to the race-fit GINCIDENT, who posted a sound runner-up effort over C&D earlier this month. Last-time-out winner Out Of Shadows likely has more to offer now up in trip, while Spioradalta is another to consider.

URBAN SPRAWL enjoyed an excellent first season and can kickstart 2023 in style with the step up to 1m a big positive for Charlie Johnston's game front-runner. Wolverhampton scorer Out of Shadows should be seen to good effect on his first go over this trip and is feared most, although the handily-weighted Spioradalta and recent C&D second Gincident also need considering in a competitive handicap.

Having shown improved form at Wolverhampton three weeks ago on his first run since being gelded, OUT OF SHADOWS can follow up.

1	1 1st (1) (3.5/1 +30%) On A Session	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(1) On A Session 3.5/1, Good effort at Southwell in February and hasn't been seen to best effect on both subsequent outings. C&D winner who merits respect returning to turf. 5lb lower than for C&D win last June but that was his only success in his last 33 starts.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +38%) Mister Bluebird	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Mister Bluebird 5/1, Scored over C&D from 1 lb lower mark last season and generally held form well subsequently. Notable jockey booking for return, so could get involved. Won his only start here; won his 2021 reappearance, second in 2022; one to note.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.75/1 +17%) Maywake	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(7) Maywake 2.75/1, Well handicapped and back to form when third at Redcar on return, finishing strongly having suffered interference. Well drawn and makes plenty of appeal. Creditable 3rd at Redcar (7f, soft) on 2023 return, checked over 1f out before running on.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 -213%) Manigordo	25 25/1(-213%)	(8) Manigordo 25/1, C&D winner who ended last season in good order. Stable's representatives often come on for their first run of the campaign, though. Completed a C&D double on good ground last August; won his 2020 reappearance.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 +0%) Gioia Cieca	6 6/1(+0%)	(2) Gioia Cieca 6/1, On a reduced mark and enhanced a solid track record when third over C&D on reappearance. Obvious claims if he can build on that. Following gelding and wind operations, he gave a much more positive signal three weeks ago.
6th	10 6th (10) (25/1 -14%) Gobi Sunset	25 25/1(-14%)	(10) Gobi Sunset 25/1, On a long losing run but shouldn't be judged too harshly on latest effort at Chelmsford and he's on a handy mark if able to bounce back. No win since April 2021 and it's a long time since he shone on turf.
7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -65%) Culcor	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Culcor 33/1, Winner at Gowran last year for Ger Lyons. Failed to fire in two outings for Kevin Ryan but still unexposed and worth a market check starting out for another new yard after 7 months off. Dropped right out in September on both starts for Kevin Ryan; now reappears for new stable.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +45%) Yaaser	12 12/1(+45%)	(11) Yaaser 12/1, Four wins from 15 runs in a very productive 2022. Poor start for the new campaign at Redcar but could be closer to form now. Progressive in most of 2022, including over C&D; soft ground against him three weeks ago.
9th	3 9th (3) (9/1 -13%) Walking On Clouds	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Walking On Clouds 9/1, Already a three-time winner this year. 11/2, posted another very good effort when second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle on penultimate run and had no chance from a poor position at Lingfield on latest outing. Can get involved if the race is run to suit. Return to turf the big question, off 21lb higher than August when he last ran on grass.
10th	4 10th (4) (33/1 +0%) Tilsitt	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Tilsitt 33/1, Consistent operator but doesn't have much in hand and is likely to strip fitter for this seasonal debut. Competitive mark; August 2021, however, is the last time he raced over a trip this short.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 -60%) Liamarty Dreams	16 16/1(-60%)	(9) Liamarty Dreams 16/1, Latest win at Chester in July. Quite consistent subsequently and no surprise if he makes a better 4-y-o, so one to consider returning from 6 months off. Needs to be back in peak form but it will be interesting to see the market signals.
12th	12 12th (12) (28/1 +15%) Counsel	28 28/1(+15%)	(12) Counsel 28/1, Unreliable individual who failed to beat a rival at Doncaster last month. Needs visor to perk him up. Inconsistent on AW; tailed off on return to turf but on heavy going at 80-1 in a warm race.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 6/1 (2) GIOIA CIECA seems to have the best chance of doing well as he has shown improvement after undergoing operations and has a solid track record. He is also on a reduced mark and showed promise on his reappearance. However, 8/1 (5) MISTER BLUEBIRD and 9/1 (3) WALKING ON CLOUDS could also potentially be contenders, as they have won at the course before and have had recent good performances.

This represents a drop in class for Gioia Cieca and Keith Dalgleish's five-year-old must hold every chance of improving on his seasonal debut over C&D earlier this month. However, a 1lb lower mark could see MAYWAKE build on a promising third over this trip at Redcar last time out. He has now dropped to his last winning mark and commands respect, while Manigordo is another to consider off a break.

MAYWAKE looked right back to his best when third at Redcar on return and would have gone closer with a clear run, so he's fancied to open his account for the season. The well-treated Gioia Cieca looks the main danger and Walking On Clouds deserves respect.

The low draw may offer MAYWAKE the best chance today, ahead of Mister Bluebird who is drawn out wide.

A very busy 2022 brought three wins, including this race off just 2lb lower.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 +63%) Abduction	6 6/1(+63%)	(3) Abduction 6/1, Very bright start for this yard in the autumn, landing brace of Ayr handicaps at (7.2f) before finishing unlucky second at this course in October. Likely needed recent return but drop back to minimum trip a concern. Has never raced over 5f, so this speed test gives him a fair amount to prove.
3	14 3rd (14) (8.5/1 +6%) Rock Melody	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(14) Rock Melody 8.5/1, Met plenty of trouble before finishing creditable 1¼ lengths fourth of 16 to Monsieur Kodi in handicap over C&D (soft) on yard debut 22 days ago. Entitled to come on from that and is a big player. First attempt at 5f came over C&D on stable/seasonal debut when an eyecatching 4th of 16.

5th	5 5th (5) (20/1 +20%) Shalaa Asker	20 20/1(+20%)	(5) Shalaa Asker 20/1, Been very consistent on AW this year, scoring 3 times and running up to best when third of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago. Needs to produce that form on turf now. Never better than in recent starts over 6f on AW, winning three of his last six.
6th	10 6th (10) (7.5/1 +25%) Mattice	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(10) Mattice 7.5/1, Dual winner last season who shaped as if better for run when sixth of 13 in handicap over C&D (soft) 22 days ago. 1 lb lower now and is one of the likelier contenders. Well below form over C&D three weeks ago but could be a lot more interesting today.
7th	12 7th (12) (5.5/1 +15%) Dun Na Sead	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(12) Dun Na Sead 5.5/1, Dundalk winner (5f) in February who acquitted herself well back on turf when second of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Remains on a fair mark and is one for shortlist. Front-runner; one of the more lightly raced contenders, she could have more to offer.
8th	16 8th (16) (33/1 +6%) Ramon Di Loria	33 33/1(+6%)	(16) Ramon Di Loria 33/1, Dual winner last year who posted respectable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/1) when last seen in December. Returns on a feasible mark and can make presence felt. Ended 2022 mostly over 5f, usually performing well, but he needs to be in top form.
9th	7 9th (7) (16/1 -45%) Good Earth	16 16/1(-45%)	(7) Good Earth 16/1, Solid efforts both starts this year, latest when fourth of 16 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 15/2) 11 days ago. Should give another good account but others look better treated. Satisfactory runs this year (4th of 16 over Beverley 5f latest) but needs to build on that.
10th	2 10th (2) (12/1 +14%) Edward Cornelius	12 12/1(+14%)	(2) Edward Cornelius 12/1, Below best when last seen over C&D in October but has a good record fresh and is worth monitoring in the market. Good mark judged on best efforts and he did win first time out last season.
11th	8 11th (8) (20/1 -67%) Lullaby Bay	20 20/1(-67%)	(8) Lullaby Bay 20/1, Completed a hat-trick over this trip for Karl Burke last May but below form in Deauville listed race on return/debut for new yard 24 days ago and bit to prove now. Cheekpieces back on. Behind in French Listed race for new yard; cheekpieces (tried twice, below best) return.
12th	1 12th (1) (25/1 +38%) Digital	25 25/1(+38%)	(1) Digital 25/1, Poorly drawn when well held on return here earlier this month and now 2 lb below last winning mark. Others more persuasive, though. Last of 13 here three weeks ago; chance on some 2022 form.
13th	4 13th (4) (7/1 +42%) Live In The Moment	7 7/1(+42%)	(4) Live In The Moment 7/1, Not scored since 2020 and more miss than hit last year. Bit to prove on return from 9-month absence for new yard. Peak ratings in 2020 and 2021; off since August; same owners but has left Adam West.
14th	9 14th (9) (22/1 -10%) Resilience	22 22/1(-10%)	(9) Resilience 22/1, Four wins from 14 runs last year and posted respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) on return 45 days ago. On a workable mark and not ruled out. Peak ratings at 5f on good to firm; highly competitive if returning to his best.
15th	15 15th (15) (5.5/1 +21%) Sacred Jewel	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(15) Sacred Jewel 5.5/1, Lightly-raced filly who ended 2022 campaign with close second of 15 in handicap (25/1) at York (5f, good) in September. Won first time up last term and must be taken seriously on return here. Neck second of 15 at York (5f, good) in September when last seen, making most; low mileage.

LTO Selection:

7/1 (11) MONSIEUR KODI is likely to do well based on the summary. They have recently won a race and returned with a win in a 16-runner handicap over C&D (soft) 22 days ago. They are 4 lb higher now but are not taken lightly. 9/1 (14) ROCK MELODY, who came fourth in a race with 7/1 (11) MONSIEUR KODI, is also a big player and entitled to come on from their last race. 10/1 (10) MATTICE, who shaped as if better for a run, is also one of the likelier contenders.

Shalaa Asker has been running with credit on the all-weather of late but he is yet to score on turf, so preference lies with MATTICE. Tim Easterby's charge is entitled to come on from his seasonal debut dropping in class and he can make his presence felt now 1lb lower. Monsieur Kodi kept on well to win over C&D earlier this month and is feared most, while Dun Na Sead finished second at Cork last time out and is another to note.

Plenty with claims here but ROCK MELODY caught the eye on her debut for Jim Goldie over C&D earlier this month and is fancied to land the spoils. Dun Na Sead, Monsieur Kodi and Sacred Jewel complete the shortlist.

Preference is for DUN NA SEAD who showed up so well in two of her last three runs in Ireland. Sacred Jewel is feared most.

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.
