CHARLES DARWIN has to carry a penalty for winning in Navan, but should be up to it. This full-brother to the top-class Blackbeard powered away from his rivals to win by five and a half lengths on soft ground. Afterwards, Aidan O'Brien commented that it could be the Coventry Stakes or Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot for him, so he looks to be a colt with a bright future. Joseph O'Brien's Spring Is Here started out in Listed company at the Curragh and acquitted herself well to be beaten just over two lengths into fourth, so that experience will stand to her. Cardiff By The Sea is a half-sister to a Listed winner so should be checked in the market along with the other newcomers.

CHARLES DARWIN' showed enough speed when winning impressively at Navan to suggest the drop back to 5f here should not inconvenience him

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

MONASTERBOICE could be a shade of value on this drop in class. He hasn't been at his best on his last couple of starts but, crucially, he has a fast-ground success over the same trip in Killarney last summer in the book. Colin Keane has been on board for his three career successes and is reunited with him. Instant Appeal was a market mover on his seasonal reappearance over further at Leopardstown last month, but weakened out of contention. He has been dropped 2lb and gets a first-time tongue-strap. A better performance is more than likely. Recent Cork maiden hurdle runner-up Killeaney Bear could have a say, while Nakasero and Independent Expert are others in the mix for a cheque.

With his fitness advanced by a recent run over hurdles KILLEANEY BEAR has good prospects of recording a fourth Flat success.

4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +14%) Glory Hyde	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Glory Hyde 3/1, Wide trip beaten 3l off 66 at Beverley last time; better under 3l 3rd off 66 at Wetherby previous start; trainer in form; may contend Third off 2lb higher at Wetherby last month and also ran well on latest outing; big player.
5th	8 5th (8) (17/2 +15%) Canaria Queen	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(8) Canaria Queen 17/2, Every chance when beaten 3/4l off 52 at Catterick last time; top course trainer; in good form and should figure prominently Close third at Catterick on Monday and remains very well handicapped on 2024 form.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 +50%) Herakles	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(5) Herakles 9/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; below par beaten 4l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; generally out of form this year and hard to fancy Yet to strike form this season but scored over C&D off 6lb higher last June.
7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 -180%) Arlington	28 28/1(-180%)	(7) Arlington 28/1, Career handicap best latest scoring with a bit in hand by 3l off 47 at Southwell; if as good on turf would be the one to beat Made all on AW this month but recent 8lb rise asks quite a lot of him here.

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

Now that SERGEANT MAYER has deservedly regained the winning thread with a determined performance at Redcar, the son of Soldier's Call is likely to have more to come off 3lb higher. Arlington did it well himself when scoring comfortably at Southwell and he must be a key player, despite an 8lb higher mark. Recent Wolverhampton winner Brian The Snail is another to consider.

This ease in grade provides a good opening for GLORY HYDE (nap), who's now 2lb lower than when placed behind a big improver last month.

4	5 4th (5) (80/1 -142%) Dusky Spyglass	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Dusky Spyglass 80/1, Probably needed race comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Fontwell last time; good ground suits plenty more needed Not disgraced on recent stable debut but needs significant further improvement.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (22/1 +78%) Batsman	22 22/1(+78%)	(1) Batsman 22/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Doncaster latest; second run after wind op; not proven trip; off a short-break; yet to match form of point win; all to do Won a point bumper in early 2024 but has struggled on all three starts under rules.

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

ALL INN HAND has shown some improvement with a tongue-tie added the last twice and the addition of cheekpieces could enable the five-year-old to notch a first win. Woodythewoodpecker, who would be conceding weight all round if this was a handicap, is an obvious danger based on the official ratings. Dusky Spyglass won't need to improve by much to fend off the others and finish third.

This seems likely to be fought out by the two Welsh runners. ALL INN HAND may handle the ground better than Woodythewoodpecker.

The Ger Lyons-trained ONE SMACK MAC shaped well enough when third in this grade at Cork last month to suggest he should be good enough here. Staying on nicely inside the final furlong to reach the frame, the son of Kodiac gave the impression that he would be all the better for this additional furlong. With the form of that race having been franked by the winner subsequently, he holds leading claims. Copacabana Sands, who ran very well when fifth in a Group 3 at Leopardstown, should be competitive. Although still a maiden, Michael O'Callaghan's filly has plenty of upside. Dance Night Andday should be all the better for her recent return at Cork.

No member of this field has a rating in three-figures, so this is not an intimidating task for the maiden COPACABANA SANDS

By a speedy sire in Mehmas and hailing from a family that Richard Fahey has had success with, FAST GENERATION may have enough quality to strike first time out. Anaisa showed major improvement from her first to her second start to score at Thirsk earlier in the month, but a 4lb penalty will make life much tougher. A well-bred sort by Kameko, Spinning Lizzie looks one to monitor for market support on debut, with Danny Tudhope a noteworthy booking.

Tim Easterby's ANAISA showed fair form when scoring at Thirsk and can make light of a 4lb penalty with this step up to 6f a likely plus

With the step back up in trip not expected to pose a problem, SUMMERLEAZE appears well placed to supplement her facile course win from 10 days ago. Portobello Girl gets 10lb from the selection and should be capable of putting up a fight on these terms. However, as a previous course and distance winner, Bright Sunbird could be a more potent threat with her stamina more proven.

It's hard to oppose SUMMERLEAZE, who has been transformed by Olly Murphy in recent months and can extend her winning streak.

Narrowly denied over C&D last time, MISSISSIPPI RIVER can get back on the winning trail. Having reached the frame on all three starts as a juvenile, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt was a staying-on third here on his reappearance in March. Getting off the mark in a maiden at Navan next time, he went very close on his handicap debut back at this venue subsequently. Despite being raised 5lb, the son of Lope De Vega looks progressive. Curragh maiden winner Beckman should appreciate this drop in class, on his first start in handicap company. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding has acquitted himself well in better grades. Va Va Vroom is another to consider on her seasonal reappearance.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER met trouble in running over C&D latest and a 5lb rise may not stop him from gaining compensation here

C&D winner COSMOS RAJ should appreciate going back up in trip, having scored in comfortable fashion at Hamilton last time out. A 2lb rise could prove lenient and David O'Meara's charge is preferred to Titainium, who went well for a long way at Thirsk and might be suited by dropping back from 1m4f. Jez Bomb and Spioradalta have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

It could pay to side with C&D scorer POET'S DAWN who caught the eye when a C&D fourth last time and is now below his last winning mark

ALMAZHAR GARDE enjoyed an uncontested lead and wasn't for catching at Ludlow on his most recent start. A 5lb rise for that performance could prove to be lenient and the Charlie Longsdon-trained gelding could again be difficult to reel in. Climbing stays well and is a notable danger, while Nickelforce is handicapped to be winning races and is another to seriously consider.

Preference is for CLIMBING (nap), who is very effective at this track and who was a long way clear of the third when second last month.

Having been very weak in the market when runner-up at Limerick on her reappearance, INDIGO DREAM should be much straighter now. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained filly kept on nicely inside the final furlong to take minor honours, while giving the impression she would be better for the outing. Her juvenile form, including when second at Leopardstown to a subsequent Listed winner, is very strong in the context of this race. Candleford Green, who cost 230,000gns as a yearling, was touched off on her introduction last October and Willie Mullins' filly shouldn't be long in going one better. Limerick third Hanamaya is entitled to have improved from that debut run.

Providing CANDLEFORD GREEN has made satisfactory progress over the winter, she should go one better than at Leopardstown last October

Having returned to complete a double at Redcar, the unbeaten FLUORESCENCE makes obvious appeal debuting in handicap company. Ed Bethell's filly has made light work of her rivals in both outings to date and an official mark of 85 could prove lenient. Mae Amor ended her juvenile campaign with a breakthrough victory at Wolverhampton and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Beaujolais Nouveau.

The unexposed FLUORESCENCE looks to start handicap life on a sensible mark and can make it 3-3. Beaujolais Nouveau is next best.

LTO Selection:

Charlie Appleby won this last season with Ancient Truth, who went on to win the Group 2 Superlative Stakes, and he is represented this time by TREANMOR. A son of Frankel who cost 2,000,000 euros as a yearling, he could make a winning debut before moving on to bigger things. Vlad also looks the part on paper and is related to plenty of winners, while Dontwaryboutathing looks interesting in receipt of her fillies' allowance.

Recent results have demonstrated that seven-figure price tags are no guarantee of immediate success but TREANMOR may buck the trend.

Tactical Affair returned to form with a respectable second at Worcester 12 days ago and he must enter calculations off the same mark. However, the six-year-old will need to cut out the jumping errors and preference is for ROYAL MAX. The son of Maxios supplemented his breakthrough victory at Sedgefield with a decent third at Market Rasen and a similar performance may suffice. Chase debutant Culligran is also noted.

Royal Max was ahead of CAWTHORNE CRACKER at Sedgefield last month but the latter might turn the tables here.

Although yet to prove her effectiveness over this distance, the Ger Lyons-trained LADY IMAN is difficult to oppose. Unbeaten in two starts over the minimum trip, the daughter of Starman has looked one of the best juvenile fillies seen out to date. With nothing in her pedigree to suggest that she won't stay the additional furlong, she is taken to maintain a perfect record. C&D winner Simply Astounding rates the main danger for Aidan O'Brien. An impeccably-bred daughter of Wootton Bassett and Minding, she couldn't have been more impressive when making a successful debut last month. Bath winner Saffron Dandy has to be respected for the visiting Hannon team.

It could boil down to a duel, and C&D winner SIMPLY ASTOUNDING just shades the vote over Lady Iman, who has won twice at 5f

Pouting did little wrong when finishing a close-up third at Wolverhampton last month and she isn't taken lightly reverting to 6f in first-time cheekpieces. However, EIGHTH AVENUE displayed enough speed last season to suggest that this trip will suit and the daughter of Starspangledbanner could be worth chancing on her return to action. Given her pedigree, it is also worth keeping an eye on newcomer Bradley Lane in the betting.

There won't be any excuses for the standard-setting POUTING, who can finally break her duck. Tanjen should fare better.

REIGNING PROFIT heads south from Ruth Carr's Yorkshire stable looking for a hat-trick after wins at Pontefract and Ripon, and although he has an added 7lb to carry now, the six-year-old could not be in better form. Sanat was all out to win by a head after missing the start at Nottingham but has only been put up 2lb which may underestimate his ability, while Spring Bloom is the only C&D winner in the field and has Tom Marquand in the saddle.

This can go to C&D winner SPRING BLOOM who has a solid record on this course and is on a handy mark.

ANNIE NAIL justified strong support in the market when scoring on just her second outing for the Tracey Leeson yard. The eight-year-old scored with plenty in hand and a 7lb higher mark could prove to be on the lenient side. Having returned to form with a solid third over hurdles at Kelso last month, chase debutant Irish Lullaby may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Kate Of The Lodge.

Last year's winner FANCY STUFF travelled well for a long way on her recent reappearance and could be primed to defend her crown today.

WHISTLEJACKET was defeated by Babouche in last year's Phoenix Stakes but ran a much stronger race than her on reappearance. A brother to Group 1 winner Little Big Bear, the selection maintained consistently high-class form through his juvenile year and can step forward from his recent Navan comeback win. Babouche was a top-class winner of the Phoenix and while forgiven a below-best effort on soft ground at Newmarket in September, she returned wearing a tongue-tie and needs to show more than that Cork fourth. Bodhi Bear steps up in grade following his Cork success over 5f.

A rematch of last year's National Stakes. Runner-up WHISTLEJACKET has started the season more convincingly than Babouche

Copper And Five may prove popular after going in at Beverley, despite a 2lb rise. He has won five races off higher marks and is hard to ignore, but preference is for SPRING FESTIVAL. Still a maiden, he ran his best race yet when third at Pontefract last month, beaten less than two lengths, and is entitled to improve for that first start since September. C&D winners Arranmore and Annalee Lass are others to take seriously on their better form.

David O'Meara's lightly raced SPRING FESTIVAL shaped well on return when third at Pontefract and can build on that to gain a first win

Mercury Day looks interesting dropping back a furlong after pulling too hard over the mile at Kempton and she could surprise a few. LORD RAPSCALLION won this in 2023 off just 1lb lower and arrives with three wins in a row to his name. Izzari is another with claims but he might have to settle for a place in this field.

This looks the time to catch FLAG OF ST GEORGE, who is first choice ahead of Izzari and Waiting All Night.

WINDSOR BLUE offered plenty to work with on her third-placed debut at Hereford last month and that experience could prove crucial. The sharp nature of this track should play to the Blue Bresil filly's strengths and she may be able to repel Rules debutants Lord Cauvelliere and Eddie My Eagle. The former got the better of the latter when scoring between the flags 43 days ago and the four-year-old may give the selection most to think about.

The 4yo colt JUST JOHNNY travelled sweetly for a long way in what was probably a much stronger race than this at Aintree in the autumn.

MAGNUM FORCE won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint in November and can defy a 5lb penalty. Ideally suited by fast ground, his two-year-old form was consistently strong and he defeated high-class rivals at Del Mar. He holds an entry in Royal Ascot's King Charles III Stakes, which indicates that this distance is again likely to be his optimum. Bucanero Fuerte was retired to stud duties last winter, only for fertility issues to intervene. High-class on his day, he would prefer further, while his unorthodox preparation is also a negative. Powerful Nation is progressive and cannot be dismissed lightly.

If MAGNUM FORCE is fit he should be up to winning this on ground he'll relish. Powerful Nation looks the biggest danger

9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 -267%) Causin A Commotion	33 33/1(-267%)	(2) Causin A Commotion 33/1, Game when scored by a neck off 53 at Wolverhampton three starts back, but ran very poorly latest; off a short-break, may bounce back and nicely weighted if does Exposed now and will need to better his AW work if he's to take this from a wide stall.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -150%) Kilo Sunshine	50 50/1(-150%)	(7) Kilo Sunshine 50/1, Beaten 9l in a handicap here last time and form is generally poor; cheekpieces first time; hard to find positives Has not shown much in five starts; first headgear will need to make quite a difference.

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

Hype Merchant is interesting on his first start for Roger Fell after leaving the David Loughnane yard and if first-time cheekpieces and new surroundings bring improvement, he can go close in a tight contest. BARMYBLADE is just preferred, though, and with two wins from three starts this season, the latest here off 7lb lower, he could be difficult to reel in. Sanbona has more to do after his Redcar third, but may fill the same position.

Having twice run well from tough draws since returned to sprinting in a visor, SANBONA can make the most of landing stall 9.

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

Artisan Dancer placed in the Chester Plate last week and drops in distance with a shout, while Sportingsilvermine made a bold bid for a hat-trick when narrowly beaten last time and another good effort looks assured. However, ASSAIL did nothing but improve last year and, having given the strong impression this extra yardage would suit when scoring over 1m4f at both at Ascot and Kempton, David Simcock's charge gets the vote.

It's hard to bank against further improvement from SPORTINGSILVERMINE who may be well handicapped on his latest form anyway.

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

BOLO NEIGHS won a valuable sales race in fine style at the Curragh last autumn before finishing a creditable third in the Rockingham at York. The son of Coulsty makes his handicap debut with strong claims on the strength of that form and could prove better than his mark. Northern Ticker is another handicap debutant to note, having placed in Redcar's Two Year Old Trophy in October, while American Style is an improving handicapper and could also feature.

Being an impressive C&D winner who remains unexposed, SIXTYGEESBABY (nap) is preferred. Aurora Majesty is second choice.

Bopedro, who has won from this mark on the Rowley Mile before, is tremendously game and should give another good account of himself, despite this distance being at top end of his limit. However, this could set up nicely for MUTAAWID, who is a more proven stayer that can build on his Goodwood reappearance fifth. The hat-trick seeking My Margie also commands respect but this is a step into the unknown on her first attempt over 1m2f.

Bopedro, Mr Baloo and My Margie are respected on recent form but Andaleep and LORDSBRIDGE BLU could return to form.

The progressive TAKE A BREATH made a successful debut in a handicap at Doncaster 15 days ago and is a logical option bidding to follow up. A 5lb higher mark seems fair and the William Haggas-trained filly is hard to resist. Unlike the selection, Lady Manzor and Saariselka have something to prove regarding the distance, therefore, Pacifist could offer some value as the only other previous winner over a mile.

Handicap debutante MAGNA GRECIA STAR looks interesting upped to 1m and is first choice ahead of Take A Breath.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
