NEWFANGLED shades the verdict in what looks a tricky apprentice handicap to kick things off. Although yet to win on turf, the four-year-old has run well in defeat on numerous occasions and recent all-weather performances suggest that he has gone to a new level since last running on this surface. My Ambition brings winning C&D form to the table and he warrants respect following a narrow defeat in 0-80 company at Bath. Drumstick and Windsor Pass are others to keep an eye on.

The vote goes to MY AMBITION (nap), who is the sole course winner in the field and looks like he's about to hit peak form.
Class & Speed Card

A whole host of potential improvers with bright futures ahead of them, but the vote goes to LOVE OLIVIA. Karl Burke's filly made light work of her opposition on her introduction at Wolverhampton last month and she is clearly held in high regard at Spigot Lodge. The biggest threat may emerge from Harry's Girl, who displayed a willing attitude to score at Newmarket. Fellow debut winners Eternal Solace and Awraad add further spice to the mix.

Karl Burke won this in 2022 and 2023, and saddled last year's second, and LOVE OLIVIA earns the vote having bolted up at Wolverhampton.
Class & Speed Card

STRATOCRACY has made the frame on both starts since scoring over a mile at Southwell in October and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways in this company. Onemorenomore showed promise when sixth at Doncaster most recently and has to be noted off a 2lb lower mark, while Split Elevens and Zina Colada are others who merit consideration.

Perhaps STRATOCRACY is the safest option and his prominent tactics will be well suited to the Rowley Mile.
Class & Speed Card

A whole host of these look to hold claims, so BEAULD AS BRASS receives what can only be a tentative vote. This undeniably represents a step up in class for George Baker's charge but he looks to be improving all the time. With four wins under his belt in little over three weeks, the five-year-old arrives razor-sharp in terms of fitness and could take another step forward to land his biggest pot to date. Sweet Reward struck over C&D on his seasonal return and must enter calculations off a 5lb higher mark, while Sovereign Sea, Burrito and Expert Witness add further spice to the race.

Preference is for INTO BATTLE, who has a highly notable piece of C&D form and whose reappearance effort can be marked up.
Class & Speed Card

Having signed off his last campaign with a triumph at Sandown, Flying Frontier likely has more to offer this year. However, the lack of a recent run and 2lb nudge up the ratings does demand more from James Tate's charge and TONY MONTANA ticks more of the right boxes. The son of Kingman arrives on the back of a good second at Goodwood and a 2lb higher mark looks workable on this second outing of the season. Have Secret and Austrian Theory are others to consider.

Extremely competitive but BINT AL DAAR gets the vote ahead of Debora's Dream and Tony Montana. Man Of Desert is fascinating.
Class & Speed Card

BEDOUIN PRINCE confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when winning at Doncaster in March and Charlie Appleby's colt is clearly the one to beat on that evidence, despite a penalty. Noble Horizon displayed ability when fourth on his racecourse bow at Kempton in December and the well-bred son of Kingman should not be underestimated. Any market support for Favorite Memory would also have to be noted.

There are some reservations about Bedouin Prince being able to defy a penalty so a chance is taken on once-raced NOBLE HORIZON.
Class & Speed Card

Secret Santa and French Affair probably ran to a similar level on debut and both are respected with that experience under their belts, but there are a number of interesting newcomers here and WORDS OF TRUTH might prove the one. Charlie Appleby is often the go-to man in these juvenile races and his representative in this contest is certainly bred to have plenty of ability, being a half-brother to last year's Superlative Stakes winner Ancient Truth. Title Role cost 500,000gns at the recent Breeze-Ups and is worth a market check at the very least, along with Morris Dancer and Commander's Intent.

There are several interesting types among the newcomers, most notably WORDS OF TRUTH, Title Role, Humidity and Lohoobb.
Class & Speed Card

Unbeaten duo Glittering Surf and Kon Tiki share similar profiles stepping up in class and neither can be dismissed in an open affair. However, there is a sneaking suspicion that we've yet to see GULYA fulfil her potential and she could be worth chancing. Roger Varian's filly endured a luckless passage when denied by a short head at Ascot last month and, granted better luck, compensation could be on the cards.

The unbeaten GLITTERING SURF looks a very smart prospect and she can take the rise in grade in her stride. Consecrated is feared.
Class & Speed Card

SIXTEEN ONE did not appear to get home over 1m2f last time but her previous form over a mile suggests that George Boughey's filly could make a winning handicap debut here. Zaraquelle and Manyana Blue are others who are likely to benefit from a drop in trip and neither should be discounted. The application of a first-time visor may bring about some improvement from Hot Like Me.

If there is an improver on the premises then it could be ZARAQUELLE. She either failed to stay or needed the run on her return.
Class & Speed Card

A taking winner on debut at Thirsk last month, the well-bred MONTPELLIER is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming, and he can follow up under a 7lb penalty with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. Narrowly denied at Doncaster last time out, Sea Force can follow him home for in-form connections, along with Abundance, who could be better suited by dropping back to 7f after a respectable third over further at Windsor.

Doncaster runner-up SEA FORCE has a leading chance at the weights and is taken to go one better. Montpellier is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

The globetrotting Rebel's Romance has only tasted defeat once on these shores - in last year's King George - and he ought to go very close if seeing out the trip. With stamina proven, though, SWEET WILLIAM is taken to come out on top. Last seen chasing home outstanding stayer Kyprios in the Long Distance Cup at Ascot on Champions Day, the Gosdens' gelding can pick up where he left off to set up a tilt at the Gold Cup. Continuous is a class act on his day and first-time blinkers could give him an added boost.

There are major tactical imponderables but the back-to-form EPIC POET put up a bold show in a very tactical race for the Dubai Gold Cup.
Class & Speed Card

LOGI BEAR has shown promise on both career starts to date, with a third at Leicester followed by him filling the runner-up spot at Goodwood, and Richard Hannon's colt has a fine opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Somebody is better than his latest effort at Chester and is capable of being in the mix, along with Faithful Dream, who is entitled to step forward from his debut at Beverley.

Some interesting newcomers on show but LOGI BEAR\ has shown useful form and the benefit of two races under his belt.
Class & Speed Card

INDIAN SPRINGS impressed on his first start as a three-year-old when scoring at Newmarket last month and he can uphold form with Time Allowed (fourth), who has over three lengths to make up with him. A 7lb penalty will make life more difficult, but Charlie Appleby's charge should have too much for Accentuate, who has not been in action since a promising third at Ascot last July. A well-bred son of Siyouni, Tokyo Joe is another open to improvement for connections who have been in excellent form lately.

There was a lot to like about the power-packed finish of INDIAN SPRINGS at Newmarket and he can follow up en route to better things.
Class & Speed Card

This is fiercely competitive and only a tentative vote can go to AGAINST THE WIND. Fifth in a valuable sales race here as a juvenile, it didn't work out in the Harry Rosebery at Ayr next time, but he returned with a convincing handicap triumph at Thirsk last month. Now 6lb higher but well drawn, there is plenty in his favour and he can go close. Mearall appears to be on a competitive mark so must be of interest along with The Quiet Gent, who might appreciate dropping to the minimum trip. Loom is also noted.

Loom can go well back at 5f but AGAINST THE WIND (nap) looked one to keep on the right side of when winning at Thirsk last month.
Class & Speed Card

KNIGHTSWOOD has bounced back to form in 2025, having scored at Ripon on his penultimate start before finishing third in a valuable handicap here on Guineas weekend under a 5lb penalty. The six-year-old will find this a much simpler task and can strike off 2lb lower. Fouroneohfever produced his best effort for a while at Chester last Thursday and has to enter the reckoning, while Lavender Hill Mob appears best of the remainder.

A tight handicap. KNIGHTSWOOD has returned this year in really good order and looks to have as good a chance as any.
Class & Speed Card

Bred in the purple being related to several Group winners including Arc hero Waldgeist, CROWN IMPERIAL could be forward enough to take this on debut for leading connections. The trip is likely to suit and he is preferred to fellow newcomer and stablemate Valiancy, who is a half-brother to the classy Givemethebeatboys. Of those with experience, Caughtredhanded is entitled to come on plenty for his introduction.

The Wood Ditton fourth HINCHINBROOKE and fifth Caughtredhanded are preferred but the Haggas newcomers must be noted.
Class & Speed Card

Meaningful form is very thin on the ground under the conditions of this race and perhaps STICKTOTHEPLAN could be the answer. Cormac Farrell's charge hasn't run badly in three bumpers, particularly when eighth in a big field at the Punchestown Festival. Skyscraper wasn't a factor on slow ground at Naas but, prior to that, his mid-division finish in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown almost a year ago gives him a chance. Charlie's Gift kept on for seventh at this track last month and should improve upon that finish in this field.

STICKTO HE PLAN finished eighth of 22 on his most recent start two weeks ago and that could be enough to win here.
Class & Speed Card

John and Thady Gosden can complete a hat-trick of wins in this race with BOWMARK. Impressive at Kempton on debut, the son of Kingman sets a good standard after a neck defeat to a progressive rival in a Listed race at Newcastle. He should be very hard to beat back in novice company. Point Of Contact, who had a luckless Crown Of Oaks back in third at Newbury, is feared most, although nicely-bred filly Sea The Wonder, is a must for a betting check.

Having gone close in a Listed race at Newcastle last month, BOWMARK is taken to go one better. Crown Of Oaks is a big danger.
Class & Speed Card

Having shaped with plenty of promise when fourth on his debut at Navan, IPANEMA BEACH can take a significant step forward. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained colt was slowly into stride and had plenty to do at halfway, but ran on nicely once getting the hang of things inside the final furlong. Stepping up in trip should allow the son of Siyouni to travel easier in the early part of the race. With the Aidan O'Brien string really hitting form of late, newcomer Italy has to be respected. A well-bred son of Wootton Bassett, he should know his job first time up. Star Chamber is another who merits attention.

An interesting and likely informative maiden. IPANEMA BEACH can confirm Navan form with Estoublon over this longer trip
Class & Speed Card

Having unseated on his first two attempts over timber, RONNIES RULES was able to keep the partnership intact to record a commanding success at Ffos Las recently. He must shoulder a penalty for that success but can repeat the dose. Twice a beaten favourite over flights so far, perhaps returning to the scene of last year's bumper triumph will help Bear Market. Lemon Leaf heads the remainder.

Recent Ffos Las winner Ronnies Rules is opposed with LEMON LEAF, who was fourth in a good Naas bumper in December.
Class & Speed Card

FOREVER MY PRINCE won on his nursery debut at Lingfield last July and a subsequent gelding operation might yield further improvement on his return to action. The handicapper only raised him 2lb for that success and he gets the vote at the main expense of My Mate Kev, who finished third at Doncaster earlier this month. Royal Accord and Dapper Guest complete the shortlist.

Preference is for MY MATE KEV (nap) who gave it a good go from the front at Doncaster and he's effectively 7lb lower here.
Class & Speed Card

SILENT AFFAIR showed a lot more when finishing second on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton. The daughter of Saxon Warrior races off the same mark and can take full advantage. Blue Tempus was put in his place by an impressive winner on his own handicap bow at Beverley, but the form is strong and Alan King's gelding should progress. Channagide and Glenridding are just two others to consider.

Blue Tempus bumped into one at Beverley and can go well but the longer trip can see an improved showing from SPLIT SILK.
Class & Speed Card

KAPTAIN BAY travelled well before winning by more than four lengths at Bellewstown last month. He relished the better ground there so this dry spell is very much in his favour. Prove Yourself is another recent winner to note. He enjoyed the undulations in Tramore, which bodes well for a spin around Kilbeggan. Malbay Madness showed an aptitude for this track when he took advantage of a handy mark in April. The handicapper has had a say, but he still looks one of the leading protagonists. Jhentong Enki has been off for almost a year, but is not without a chance on his handicap hurdle debut.

PROVE YOURSELF could still have more to give after winning a Tramore maiden last time and is a tentative selection.
Class & Speed Card

Only one of the last 10 favourite has emerged successful in this race and, with a maximum field of 22 competing, this year's edition is naturally competitive. Feel The Need won this off 4lb lower in 2024 and is respected with his repeat bid, while cases can obviously be made for penalised runners Eldrickjones and Delicacy based on recent from. However, it could be worth taking a chance on AL MUQDAD, who is a specialist over this trip and has proven to be effective from his current mark. From opposite sides of the draw, Yaaser and Sword are just two others with solid credentials.

The step up in trip may well be a positive for the unexposed 4yo MUSICAL TOUCH, who has won 6f handicaps the last twice.
Class & Speed Card

REFUGE is already a four-time winner over C&D and is an attractive proposition back here off 1lb below his last successful rating. Fast ground ideally suits the eight-year-old and, with Lewis Chalkley claiming 7lb, there is an awful lot to like. Match Play, a fellow track-and-trip winner, is also attractively weighted and appears the chief danger on the back of an improved effort when third at Redcar. Royal Duke and Kyber Crystal are the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND whose record over C&D reads 112. He only found a well-handicapped rival too good last time.
Class & Speed Card

Gowran Park runner-up SENNA'S GIRL should be good enough to open her account. Placed on her introduction at the Curragh last season, the Diego Dias-trained filly was highly tried in subsequent starts. Back in maiden company for the first time since her debut, the daughter of Arizona stayed on strongly when just failing to get up at the Kilkenny track last month. Stepping up to a mile for the first time should help bring about the minimal improvement needed to win in this grade. Hopes Are High, who was less than a length behind the selection in third, should again be involved. Banner Beauty is also worthy of consideration on debut for shrewd connections.

SENNA'S GIRL (nap) flew home for second over 7f at Gowran and can confirm that form with both Hopes Are High and Dahoma
Class & Speed Card

Although ASTA LA PASTA struggled in the Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton last month, this isn't as competitive and there is a real chance he'll gain an uncontested lead. Flic Ou Voyou hit the woodwork in a valuable veterans' final at Haydock latest and is respected, along with Sainte Doctor, who has improved markedly over the larger obstacles since returning in February.

The vote goes to PRINCE ESCALUS who ran well to a point at Perth last month, after a layoff, and has slipped to a tempting mark.
Class & Speed Card

MOLTEN SEA made it two from four in handicap starts at Musselburgh when last seen and returns off just 2lb higher. William Haggas' filly should have no issues with this drop in distance and can go in again. Nibras Gold struck on his first start for the James Owen yard at Beverley last month and has to be respected, while One Cool Dreamer sports first-time cheekpieces and is another to consider.

Plenty of possibles but there should be more to come from AN BRADAN FEASA and he's preferred to One Cool Dreamer and Amancio.
Class & Speed Card

COSTACURTA could progress from an opening runner-up berth at Fairyhouse in January. He was beaten a fair way, but the winner has since gone on to be successful in a Listed novices' hurdle at Perth so the form has depth. Couldntmakeitup stayed on well for a close third at Naas in December, which was a big step forward. He has earned a mark of 105 and is a big player. Kasanova's Dream kept on for third in Tramore so this extra distance could suit him well. Philip Rothwell runs three horses and his newcomer Damoso is worth a market check with Tiernan Power Roche up.

Providing he has suffered no lasting effects from a fall at Punchestown last November, RAPARREE CHAMP has good credentials for this
Class & Speed Card

Dacres Cross has shown some promise in his two previous starts and sets the current standard. However, the bar isn't too high and he could be worth taking on with one of the newcomers. HARLEQUIN BAY, who is a half-brother to a 5f winner, fits the bill on paper and is suggested as the first one to consider. Market support for Blue Mantle and Kolkata Knight would also be highly noteworthy.

The choice is BLUE MANTLE who may be suited by this stiff 6f on debut.
Class & Speed Card

Recent C&D winner BRAINS can make it back-to-back victories. Prominent throughout, the Dick Donohoe-trained gelding led over a furlong from home before staying on in determined fashion to score by a head. That form was given a boost when the runner-up won on his next start. Only raised 4lb, Brains can effectively run off the same mark, with the excellent Nicola Burns using her valuable claim. Well drawn for one who likes to race up with the pace, the nine-year-old has plenty in his favour. James Henry, who caught the eye at the Curragh, can be forgiven a poor run on very testing ground at Limerick. Notforalongtime and Pandion Power are others to consider.

A likely strong pace on here, not least from the well-drawn BRAINS who is taken to follow up a recent C&D win off a 4lb higher mark
Class & Speed Card

RAMBO T left it late to get up at Perth on his return to action and although a 4lb rise looks harsh given the manner of that victory, another bold showing likely beckons. The son of Ocovango has an excellent strike-rate over timber and is taken to repel the likely challenge of Fingal's Hill, who struck the woodwork at Kelso when attempting to follow up on his earlier Newcastle success. Aucunrisque should not be underestimated either.

Neil Mulholland's IKE SPORT ran well in two competitive handicaps (one over C&D) last month and gets the verdict in this easier race.
Class & Speed Card

FINAL ORDERS is due to get the good ground he enjoys and could exploit his lower hurdles mark. His close second in the Ulster National at Downpatrick was endorsed when the winner finished fourth in the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse. Willie Mullins supplies Armed And Fabulous, who races off a light weight. She was fifth in a valuable handicap hurdle at Ayr and gets first-time cheekpieces. Plains Indian and prominent-racer Slane Hill are both capable of a bold show, while Yeats Star is another eyeing a share of the prize money.

SAINT LE FORT was a game winner at Cork on his penultimate start and the good ground and increase in trip will suit his chances.
Class & Speed Card

MAFTING was heavily backed for his debut and although he found one too good in that novice event at Beverley, he showed enough promise to suggest he could be hard to beat in this smaller field now he has some experience. Me And Bobby Mcgee is a half-brother to plenty of winners and won't need to be anything special to have an impact on his introduction. Talismans Time, who has been gelded since last seen, is preferred for third, despite Kabuki's jumps form suggesting he could have a say.

This looks a good opportunity for MAFTING who probably only need repeat his debut form to go one better.
Class & Speed Card

Well supported when runner-up at Navan on her Irish/stable debut, the Gerard O'Leary-trained SECRET WORLD can go one better. Having briefly led over a furlong out, the filly carried her head high and it is significant that connections have wasted little time in reapplying the cheekpieces she wore towards the latter end of her time with Charlie Johnston. Fortuna Vera should be all the better for a recent fourth at the Curragh. Racing in better company, the Joseph O'Brien-trained three-year-old stayed on nicely having missed the break. If getting away on terms, she should go close. Love Sonnet is interesting making a quick return after winning at Killarney.

Preference is for the 3yo FORTUNA VERA who caught the eye running on strongly over 7f at the Curragh last time. This trip should suit
Class & Speed Card

FANTASTIC LADY has struggled in some very competitive events the last twice but it would be no surprise to see Nicky Henderson's mare bounce back to form in this company. The Wolf has been knocking hard on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Sail Away edges out Stormin Crossgales to be best of the rest.

This can go to SAIL AWAY (nap), who is only 2lb higher than when keeping on well to go close in a series final in March.
Class & Speed Card

Point-to-point winner NASTYA is of interest on her first crack at racecourse fences. She was placed behind smart sorts in maiden hurdle company at Down Royal and Limerick before cruising home by 25 lengths over flights in Down Royal. Gavin Cromwell's Next Stop Paris switches to fences after being victorious over the smaller obstacles at Cork last weekend. On Lovers Walk has been placed in his last couple of chases so has to enter calculations. Ballybrittas and Beggars Rock will also have their supporters, while all of the reserves have a squeak if getting a run.

BALLYBRITTAS was probably not best suited by a shorter trip last time and is preferred to Nest Stop Paris and Nastya
Class & Speed Card

FAYLAQ showed the benefit of his reappearance at Musselburgh when making all over 1m5f here 12 days ago. A 4lb penalty and slight drop in trip are unlikely to hamper the veteran's follow-up bid and a seventh career victory may beckon. The progressive Creatif makes plenty of appeal reverting to 1m4f and he should give the selection plenty to think about. Per Contra is the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to CREATIF who remains unexposed and won't have a problem with the return to this trip.
Class & Speed Card

Having made a winning reappearance in the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan last month, KYPRIOS can book his Royal Ascot ticket here. Unbeaten in his last eights runs, Aidan O'Brien's remarkable stayer has looked better than ever on recent starts. With upwards of 21lb in hand of these rivals, the seven-year-old can maintain his sequence before heading back to defend his Gold Cup crown. Last year's Ballysax winner Dallas Star has plenty to find on ratings but could get closest to the selection. Cork Derby runner-up Satin looks best of the remainder.

Champion stayer KYPRIOS continues on his route to Ascot and is unopposable here as he attempts a third win in the last four years
Class & Speed Card

MASKED DANCE showed more when second at Huntingdon earlier in the month and that form gives the seven-year-old a big chance here. That said, Versace Twentyone got off the mark over hurdles at Ludlow last time and has to be noted with the prospect of further progression. Others who merit places on the shortlist include Midnight Ginger, Wudya and Hiconic.

Last year's winner MASKED DANCE returned to form with a pretty good second at Huntingdon last week and can defend her crown.
Class & Speed Card

GENERAL CLERMONT wouldn't be winning out of turn having finished runner-up at Limerick and Tramore on his last two starts. His last victory in this discipline came over a similar trip at Wexford. Marv Michael showed plenty of ability when winning a beginners' chase by seven lengths last September. He wasn't at his best when next seen in a good race at Cheltenham, but there is scope for more with him. The handicapper has given The Dasher Conway a chance and he's noted too.

AEROS LUCK has looked onepaced over 2m in his last two beginners' chases and the step up in trip might help on handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

Starliner has been knocking on the door in recent months and, racing off the same mark as his latest second over slightly shorter here, another bold showing is forecast. However, he may have to play second fiddle once more, with BUBBLES WONKY edging the vote. The Lope De Vega gelding caught the eye when fifth on his seasonal bow at Doncaster and is expected to take the necessary step forward. Braes Of Doune is also noted.

This may be the day STARLINER returns to winning form having been placed in all three starts off this mark since returning to turf.
Class & Speed Card

The progressive PORSCHE LAD holds leading claims on his stable debut for Charles Byrnes. A winner at Dundalk on his penultimate start, the four-year-old showed that he was capable of being competitive off his revised mark when narrowly denied back at that same venue. Although yet to show any really worthwhile form on grass, the son of Cotai Glory has had very few opportunities to do so. On pedigree, there has to be every chance that he can improve further on decent ground. Narrowly denied when well punted at Dundalk recently, Chopsticks is interesting on debut for John McConnell. Tatum has to enter the equation too.

CHOPSTICKS gets the nod on his debut for John McConnell. He's been in form on the AW, he ran well here last year and he's well drawn
Class & Speed Card

LIVELY CITIZEN benefited from the application of cheekpieces when running out a comfortable winner over fences at Ffos Las 10 days ago, and the veteran performer may take advantage of running off the same mark back over timber. It's A Love Thing has been in excellent form on the level and may well be fairly handicapped switching back to hurdles. Others to note are Bannister and Fandabidozi.

The pick is IT'S A LOVE THING, who has been back in very good form on the Flat lately and is still unexposed over hurdles.
Class & Speed Card

A return to better ground will help SOUTH OF KILLERIG's chance. He showed up nicely in a pair of maiden hurdles at Tramore and Wexford last summer, but didn't perform as well on soft ground in a bumper at Listowel in the autumn. Le Roi Du Livet could be lively on his debut for Philip Fenton. He is a full-brother to a horse who has been acquitting herself well in valuable hurdle races in France. Walk In The Park gelding Stede Bonnet is likely to be popular on debut for Gordon Elliott and Harry Swan.

Most appealing of those with is Minella Emperor, but he may cope with the Gordon Elliot-trained newcomer STEDE BONNET
Class & Speed Card

RING OF GOLD finished over five lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot at Nottingham last month and goes off the same rating. The eight-year-old lurks on an appealing mark and can return to winning ways. Bay Dream Believer took the silver medal home over 1m2f at Ripon last week and is likely to be on the premises again, while Hostelry is another to note.

Preference is for BAY DREAM BELIEVER (nap) who was back off her last winning mark when runner-up at Ripon a week ago.
Class & Speed Card

With the form of his Tipperary second appearing solid, ROCK OF IRELAND can register a first career success. The Alan McIntyre-trained four-year-old shaped with plenty of promise on his previous start when fourth at Cork on his handicap debut. A lightly-raced gelding with more scope for improvement than the majority of these, he will lack for nothing in the saddle with Georgie Benson taking the ride. Royal runner Reaching High is a significant contender for Willie Mullins. Formerly in the care of the now-retired Sir Michael Stoute, the gelding was a winner at Wolverhampton last summer. Burren Song, a previous winner of this race, is another to consider.

A chance is taken on the C&D winner BURREN SONG who went well for this rider at the Curragh last October and he's 3lb lower now.
Class & Speed Card

ANGEL OF MY DREAMS impressed when scoring in a point-to-point in March and the daughter of Jack Hobbs makes plenty of appeal on her Rules bow, especially in receipt of the four-year-old allowance. Amatchmadeinheaven got the better of Couer D'alene at Exeter and the pair are likely to go well, while others to consider include Call Me Early and Out On Her Own.

The filly ANGEL OF MY DREAMS easily won a point bumper on her debut in March and looks a pretty good candidate for this.
Class & Speed Card

ISHE WORTH AGAMBLE sprung a 22/1 surprise when going in by a length at Leicester last weekend and now has a 5lb penalty to carry. If the four-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove tough to beat. Black Cab struck by a neck on his second handicap start at Wolverhampton and is an interesting contender on his first outing for the Alison Hamilton yard. Of the remainder, Back Tomorrow makes the most appeal.

The votes goes to BACK TOMORROW who ran well when third over 5f at Ayr last time and will be suited by the return to this trip.

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.
