A race which has thrown up subsequent Guineas winners in Cachet and Mawj over the last couple of years, this is sure to be an informative contest. Seldom have we seen one representing Amo Racing run poorly on their debut, so it would come as no surprise were La Guarida to know her job on this first day at school. Mammy might have a say in proceedings, but a chance is taken on JABAARA, whose pedigree would suggest she should have plenty of speed about her.

JABAARA is bred to be useful and, without the benefit of market clues, she gets the nod. Oops and South Kensington also make plenty of appeal on paper.

The pair that make the most appeal are OOPS, from the 2021 winning yard, and South Kensington, with preference for the former.
Class & Speed Card

Faded Fantasy ran his best race to date when third in a juvenile hurdle at Taunton in March and a similar performance should see him involved once more. Preference, however, is for WASPY, who was last seen falling at the first flight at Sedgefield. Donald McCain's gelding will need to put that mishap behind him, but his penultimate second over course and distance in February looks the best form on offer. Churchman completes the shortlist.

FADED FANTASY shaped with conspicuous promise on his third start in this sphere at Taunton and he is a tempting alternative to likely favourite Waspy, who sets the standard on his C&D hurdles debut second in February. If bumper winner Luna de la Mer lines up here rather than at Aintree on Friday he will also be of interest.

Second to a useful rival over C&D in February, WASPY earns the vote.
Class & Speed Card

CINSA should prove very hard to beat as she takes a massive drop in class. The French import has been campaigned at the highest level since joining Willie Mullins, finishing a creditable seventh in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. Back in against her own sex for the first time since finishing fourth to Lossiemouth on debut at Auteuil last year, she gets a weight allowance on account of her age. Artemis Angel is given second preference. A half-sister to Journey With Me and eight-time winner Yorkist, she has some decent form to her name and finished seventh to Marine Nationale on her most recent start at Punchestown in October. Point-to-point winner Young Darleen should be able to make her presence felt, while Another Bonnie and Matilda Park are others with place claims.

An excellent opportunity for CINSA, who's down appreciably in grade having contested Grade 1s on all her 3 starts for Willie Mullins. Artemis Angel and Alo's Vision are a couple with place claims.

Having acquitted herself respectably in three Grade 1s this year, CINSA will find this far easier and should get off the mark.
Class & Speed Card

NOBLE STYLE emerged with plenty of credit from the 2000 Guineas when fading into sixth after travelling smoothly into the race, suggesting a step back down to this distance is a positive move. The son of Kingman won the Gimcrack over this trip last year and he could prove to be a cut above his rivals. The main threat might be Aesop's Fables, who landed the Futurity at the Curragh as a juvenile and offered enough encouragement when second on his return at Navan. Shaquille is a rapid improver to keep an eye on.

Usually a hot early-season 3-y-o sprint and a trial for the Commonwealth Cup, with one of the ante-post favourites NOBLE STYLE taken to book his Royal Ascot ticket with victory. He met with defeat in the 2000 Guineas on his return when not seeming to stay (though still not beaten far) and promises to do a lot better back over 6f. Shaquille's Commonwealth Cup entry doesn't look fanciful after his impressive comeback victory at Newmarket and he's feared. Rabaah should have more to offer also.

Noble Style is strongly respected back over 6f but he's taken on with tempting alternative SHAQUILLE.
Class & Speed Card

TOKYO DRIFT shaped with plenty of promise when third at Kempton on debut and that form has been boosted with the fourth Ziggy's Phoenix winning twice since, including the Lily Agnes. The daughter of Showcasing can be forgiven her latest effort at Windsor as the ground was softer than ideal and she gets a tentative vote. Any market confidence behind the smartly-bred Roger Varian newcomer Sheffa would have to be noted, with the same applying to Tallulabelle for last year's winning combination.

This could go the way of a newcomer, with SHEFFA taken to make a winning start for her leading connections. She makes plenty of appeal on paper and is preferred to fellow debutante Tallulabelle, who also catches the eye with her pedigree. Of those with experience, Tokyo Drift made a promising debut and could get back on track on less testing conditions.

Boardroom is the pick of some interesting newcomers but ALFA MOONSTONE could leave her Chester debut well behind her.
Class & Speed Card

It looks best to side with ACOTANGO, who finished a good second at Haydock on his reappearance last month. He bumped into a progressive rival that day, who has subsequently followed up off a 6lb higher mark. The gelded son of Kodiac could be well handicapped nudged up 3lb in the ratings, and he's well fancied. Recent Lingfield scorer Totnes is respected back on the turf, while handicap debutant Ceanna is another who merits consideration.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap with TOTNES top of the list. The Kingman filly appeared to win with a bit left up her sleeve at Lingfield and this 5 lb higher mark may not be enough to stop her, provided she is able to translate her all-weather progression back on turf. The form of Acotango's Haydock reappearance effort is solid and he is greatly respected, while Ceanna and Good Gracious are also appealing.

Preference is for TOTNES who did well to come from the back of the pack to win at Lingfield. Acotango is a danger.
Class & Speed Card

Oceans Red boasts a course and distance success to his name, but he returns here off a high enough mark and the seven-year-old may prove worth taking on. COO STAR SIVOLA shaped better than the beaten distance at Warwick last month and the veteran could be ready to capitalise on a declining rating. Heart Of A Lion has often appeared as if this stiffer test could suit and he's another to consider now 5lb lower than his last triumph.

HEART OF A LION has been very lightly raced since his chase debut success at Ludlow in 2021 but arrives here having very much caught the eye from a long way back when third at Fontwell (19.5f) 4 weeks ago and, unexposed at this sort of trip, he could be worth chancing to build on that now. The returning Oceans Red and Kabrit head up the dangers, with Lady Tremaine not out of things either.

Despite reservations about her ability to act on good ground, LADY TREMAINE is worth chancing.
Class & Speed Card

A competitive contest, with recent winners Good As Hell, Hot As Pepper and Presenting Doyen all leading contenders. For a selection, it might be worth taking a chance on BUTTONS AND BOWS, who will appreciate the drying ground. A dual course winner, she failed to make an impact on her return to action at Kilbeggan last month, but fitted with blinkers for the first time now, a much improved performance can be expected. Fruit Blossom has been knocking on the door of late and is given second preference in first-time cheekpieces. A dual winner for Willie Mullins, Gelee Blanche is an interesting contender on her debut for Barry Fitzgerald, while North Of Nashville and Knocknagappagh are others to consider in this competitive affair.

There wasn't much between PRESENTING DOYEN and Fruit Blossom when first and second at Kilbeggan last month with the lesser-exposed Presenting Doyen taken to come out on top again. Recent chase-winner Good As Hell is potentially on a good mark back over hurdles and is another to consider.

FRUIT BLOSSOM can take revenge on her Kilbeggan conqueror Presenting Doyen with a 3lb pull in the weights and cheekpieces on.
Class & Speed Card

Yibir is top-rated in this contest by upwards of 9lb and is likely to be a warm order. The 2021 Breeders' Cup Turf hero regained the winning thread in the Princess Of Wales's at Newmarket last July but has been off since, which is a concern. A chance is taken on ISRAR, who has improved in the handicap ranks so far. The son of Muhaarar, out of champion filly Taghrooda, is expected to progress again this year and can bridge the gap into Group company. Haskoy, second past the post in the Leger, is another to note on her return to the fray.

YIBIR has been a globe-trotting money-spinner for Godolphin and looks set for another profitable campaign. Unpenalised for his Group 2 Newmarket win when last seen in July, he can make a successful return. 4-y-o filly Haskoy was second past the post in the St Leger and could have more to offer in 2023. Israr and Gaassee are also ones to follow this year.

Yibir dominates on form but is not straightforward. HASKOY makes more appeal, having surged to prominence so quickly last term.
Class & Speed Card

SAMPERS SEVEN was thrown into Listed company at Bath on her reappearance and showed up well for most of the race, perhaps just getting tired in the latter stages. With that under her belt and now dropped in class, she would appear to have solid credentials. Papa Don't Preach returned to form when runner-up at Wetherby and must enter calculations off the same mark. Prospect disappointed at Doncaster, but is a previous course winner and can't be ruled out.

MID WINSTER stepped up on her reappearance run when fourth at this C&D a fortnight ago and, back down in grade, she can build on her latest effort to resume winning ways. Sampers Seven gave a good account at listed level on her return and is feared most back in a handicap, ahead of Papa Don't Preach.

Navello and MID WINSTER drop in class and Paul Midgley's mare could prove strongest now she's back on better ground.
Class & Speed Card

Eminency caught the eye when finishing an unlucky fourth at Kempton last month. Clive Cox's charge was going easily throughout, but ultimately struggled to challenge the leaders having been repeatedly short of room inside the final couple of furlongs. He's a leading candidate granted a better trip, along with handicap debutant Revenite. The form of MUTAANY's October Brighton success has proved to be very strong and, though a beaten favourite on his reappearance, he's fancied to take a step forward.

A useful handicap. EMINENCY was an eyecatcher on his Kempton reappearance and gets the nod but the likes of Expert Agent, Revenite and Quinault are other young sprinters who look capable of better.

The progressive Revenite is feared but the verdict goes to WASHINGTON HEIGHTS who boasts a rock-solid profile.
Class & Speed Card

EL BORRACHO confirmed his well-being with a cosy success on the Flat recently and he looks more than capable of following up on his return to hurdles. Hidalgo De L'isle was down the field at Musselburgh in March and this course and distance winner is feared most. Copper Beach could also have a say if putting his latest appearance at Market Rasen on Boxing Day behind him.

HIDALGO DE L'ISLE needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Musselburgh in March but he had impressed when scoring in good style over C&D previously and is well worth another chance to get back on the up given his low-mileage profile. The likeable El Borracho, who arrives on the back of success on the Flat recently, is feared, with Band of Outlaws also worth a second look equipped with a first-time visor.

El Borracho is greatly feared but the unexposed HIDALGO DE L'ISLE (nap) can gain a second C&D win.
Class & Speed Card

TENNESSEE TITAN has been knocking on the door of late and would be a deserving winner for local trainer Seamus Neville. Second on his penultimate start here in March, the Fame And Glory bay finished third of 17 on his most recent outing at Cork. Philip Rothwell is responsible for Only One Plan and Prince Of Air and they both look to have strong claims. The former went down by just half a length in an 18-runner contest at Naas in March and had a subsequent winner a place behind him in third. Paul Nolan, who does well with his runners at Wexford, is represented by handicap debutant Doyen For A Drink. While she hasn't shown much to date, it would come as little surprise if she ran well here. Miss Us O is best watched on her return from a break, while the well-bred Bite That is capable of making his presence felt.

TENNESSEE TITAN ran well enough when third in a big field at Cork last time to think he has a race in him from this sort of mark. Only One Plan is respected on the back of a good second at Naas last time, while Doyen For A Drink and Gigantamax Eevee rate potential improvers now moving into handicap company.

TENNESSEE TITAN has hit a vein of form and coming back in trip after a fine run over 3m last time can see him get off the mark.
Class & Speed Card

DESERT HERO is two out of three to date, with the latest of those victories a comfortable three-length verdict under a penalty in a Redcar novice event back in October. The son of Sea The Stars, who is still in the Derby, is likely to find improvement for this further step up in trip and he ought to go very close on his handicap bow. Royal Rhyme, who struck over this distance by five lengths at Newmarket's Guineas meeting, could get in contention off 10lb higher, while Bertinelli has to be of interest for the Aidan O'Brien stable.

Nearly always one of the strongest 3-y-o handicaps of the season. DESERT HERO is in the Derby and gets the vote to take his record to 3-4 on his reappearance. Irish-raider Bertinelli is another low-mileage colt with plenty of potential and heads the dangers along with easy Newmarket handicap winner Royal Rhyme. The other Sheikh Mohammed Obaid runner Exoplanet chased home Lingfield Derby Trial winner Military Order on his C&D return and can also figure if stall 16 isn't too troublesome.

Having shaped well over C&D on his reappearance, EXOPLANET may well have the class to prevail. Mr Mistoffelees is next on the list.
Class & Speed Card

Owen Burrows' team seems to be coming into form and ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ is fancied to get off the mark. He ran well enough for fifth in a decent event at Haydock and shouldn't find this quite as competitive. Edge Of Darkness may have been in need of the run in a Haydock handicap last week and that should have tightened him up. Moush was too keen at Doncaster on his first run since being gelded and is respected if settling better.

ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ showed a bit more than on debut when mid-field at Haydock 3 weeks ago and in a contest that is unlikely to take much winning Owen Burrows' charge is selected to make it third time lucky. The two geldings rate as the obvious dangers, Moush taken to edge out Edge of Darkness for the forecast spot.

Moush and Edge Of Darkness set the form standard but ALLO AL KHAWANEEJ and Charli Sands may well improve past them.
Class & Speed Card

A case can be made for most of these but marginal preference is for POWERDRESS, who struggled in the 1000 Guineas last time but her previous effort over C&D suggests that a mark of 88 should be workable. Striking Star is an obvious danger after hitting the crossbar here two weeks ago, although a 5lb higher mark will make his life tougher. Changing Colours should not be discounted now upped in trip, while Mile End and Signcastle City are others to consider.

SIGNCASTLE CITY shaped well when fifth on his Haydock return and should strip fitter now so edges the vote off a handy-looking mark in a very open handicap. Striking Star rates a big threat though on the back of his very good C&D second, while Powerdress, a stablemate of the selection, and Berkshire Phantom complete the shortlist.

The step up to 7f could prompt improvement from HAVANA BY THE SEA and she is the selection ahead of Signcastle City.
Class & Speed Card

GABRIEL'S GETAWAY hasn't looked back since making his chase debut in February, with three victories to his name, and another 9lb rise in the ratings for his latest success at Exeter may not prevent him from completing a four-timer. Norley gained his first success over fences last month and is likely to have more to offer in this sphere, despite a 9lb hike. The Paddy Pie makes most appeal of the remaining rivals.

GABRIEL'S GETAWAY has looked a totally different proposition switched to chasing, maintaining his 100% record in this sphere when readily completing the hat-trick at Exeter in April and, with the prospect of more to come, he gets the nod to complete the 4-timer. Norley also arrives at the top of his game, having registered victories over hurdles/fences recently and rates the chief threat.

The progressive GABRIEL'S GETAWAY can maintain his unbeaten record over fences.
Class & Speed Card

BELLA BLISS was strong over 3m when delivering at Down Royal and has prospects of following up. She appreciates better ground and isn't on a bad mark at all. In addition, Ben Harvey takes 5lb off her back. Ceroc took the step up in trip to 2m4f at Cork in his stride and has to be considered over this further trip. Ladiam could make no impression on the winner over an extended 3m at Tipperary, but did finish second. That was her first crack at that sort of trip. There is another race in Tangental who has been a beaten favourite in second at both Thurles and Naas, however, he would appreciate some rain and it isn't in the forecast. Elle Dorado Rock isn't out of it off a light weight.

TANGENTAL appears handily weighted on the back of his good Naas second so looks the way to go in an open handicap. Elle Dorado Rock is feared most back in this sphere with more to offer, while Down Royal scorer Bella Bliss is also in the picture.

Quite competitive but BELLA BLISS (nap) is taken to defy top-weight under Ben Harvey
Class & Speed Card

A highly competitive renewal of this prestigious contest and it can pay to side with MODERN GAMES, who ended his three-year-old campaign with a dominant success in the Breeders' Cup Mile. Charlie Appleby's colt was consistent at the highest level throughout last season and his comeback second at Keeneland should have put him spot-on. His chief threat may be My Prospero, who ran crackers for third in the St James's Palace Stakes and Champion Stakes at Ascot. Laurel has only been beaten once in her career, when pipped in the Sun Chariot, and could still be anything, while Jadoomi brings strong mile form to the table but is perhaps best suited by cut in the ground. Mutasaabeq (first) and Light Infantry (third) renew their rivalry from the bet365 mile and cannot be underestimated.

A competitive renewal on ratings but MODERN GAMES is the only runner to have won at the highest level (4 times) and he was rather unlucky not to add to his tally at Keeneland 5 weeks ago. He looks the most solid option and can provide Godolphin with a ninth success. Exciting-filly Laurel has the most potential in the field so rates the biggest threat ahead of Mutasaabeq, who has responded very well to blinkers.

The vote goes to highly promising filly LAUREL. Solid performers Modern Games and My Prospero are feared most.
Class & Speed Card

RATHBONE showed marked improvement from his first to second start for new connections at Doncaster last month and he must hold every chance if building upon that effort. The seven-year-old was narrowly denied by Tinto in this last year off 5lb higher and he is preferred to Aberama Gold and Music Society, who was runner-up over C&D last time out. Bay Breeze and Hiya Maite have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

RATHBONE shaped well for new trainer Michael Herrington when third at Doncaster last time and might be able to add to his 2021 success in this race. Aberama Gold is another who arrives on the back of a decent run at Doncaster and is second choice ahead of Tinto, another former winner of this race.

Arguably unlucky not to be bidding for a third straight win in this race, RATHBONE (nap) can build on his promising Doncaster third.
Class & Speed Card

The Gatekeeper had Star Of Orion (second) and Persuasion (third) behind when scoring over C&D earlier in the month and he is fancied to confirm the form. However, preference is still for the William Haggas-trained MONTASSIB, who was stopped in his run at a vital point at Haydock on his latest outing when fourth. With a clearer passage this time, he could be the one to beat.

MONTASSIB shaped well enough when fourth at Haydock recently to think he might have more to offer again this year so he's taken to resume winning ways. The Gatekeeper and Star of Orion were 1-2 in a C&D handicap at the Guineas meeting and might be the pair to give the selection most to think about.

The Gatekeeper won at the Guineas meeting but runner-up STAR OF ORION is taken to exact his revenge. Montassib is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

Universal Folly remains in good form and he's considered along with Landen Calling, who appeals as the type to find improvement now switched to the larger obstacles, although preference is for THE WREKIN. Henry Daly's charge hit the woodwork on his chasing bow last month and, with the benefit of his rider's 7lb claim, it would be no surprise were he to go one better.

An interesting race despite the small field with the narrow vote in favour of SUPERVISOR. He again shaped well (looked likely winner) when falling 4 out when last seen at Ludlow in November and, in the hope this trip doesn't stretch him, he can prove his mark a lenient one. Universal Folly should appreciate this step back up in trip and is feared, with The Wrekin also worth a second look.

Runner-up on his chasing debut last month, THE WREKIN can go one better.
Class & Speed Card

Stuart Crawford has high hopes for THE FLIER BEGLER after he got off the mark in a beginners' chase at Down Royal. He had posted some solid efforts across all codes prior to that breakthrough success and could be the type to build upon it. Uncle Phil makes his chasing debut for Willie Mullins having won a bumper and a maiden hurdle. He has to be respected. Senecia is another recent chase winner at Ballinrobe. He overturned an odds-on favourite that day and adds plenty to this deep race. Galore Desassences has banked three hurdle races and a bumper. He has been mixing in very good company over flights and has to rate a danger on just his second chase start. The Banger Doyle won over fences in Tipperary and there should be more to come from him.

UNCLE PHIL promises to do a lot better over fences if he can settle better and he's taken to make a winning start in this sphere. There is more to come from Senecia and he's the clear danger.

Having impressed on his chasing debut at Ballinrobe SENECIA is taken to follow up in what could be a strongly-run race which would suit
Class & Speed Card

INTELLOGENT shaped encouragingly on his return in the Earl Of Sefton and the form of that race has worked out well, with the winner following up in a Grade 2 in the States. The eight-year-old was unlucky not to land a major handicap last season, but remains on a mark off which he can score. Kingdom Come arrives on a four-timer and must enter calculations, along with Unforgotten and Wanees, who is far better than he showed in the Lincoln. C&D winner Atrium and Top Secret are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Clive Cox's low-mileage 4-y-o KINGDOM COME still looks well ahead of his mark and with this step up to 1m also a positive he rates a confident choice to land a four-timer. Intellogent is next on the list back in handicap company after his good Earl Of Sefton fourth, with C&D scorer Atrium and the still unexposed Wanees completing the shortlist in a useful handicap.

There was plenty to like about the way OUTBREAK (nap) scored on good ground at Newmarket two weeks ago. Top Secret is next best.
Class & Speed Card

Compensation may await LIAMARTY DREAMS after finishing first past the post at Haydock last week, only to be demoted to second for causing interference. Karl Burke's charge is just 3lb above his last official winning mark and he could have too much for All The King's Men and The Cookstown Cafu, who has won three of his four starts since undergoing wind surgery and was just denied in the other. Completing the shortlist are Autumn Festival, Billyb and Carnival Zain.

ALL THE KING'S MEN's AW form this year for current connections is proving strong and he remains of firm interest back on turf. Autumn Festival stepped up considerably on his comeback run when fourth here 2 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Liamarty Dreams, who bids to make amends having been disqualified at Haydock.

This can go to THE COOKSTOWN CAFU who can complete the hat-trick. Carnival Zain and Another Batt can also go well.
Class & Speed Card

In a small field it may pay to side with Roger Varian's lightly-raced STRONG IMPACT, a daughter of Saxon Warrior who returned to action with a running-on second to Infinite Cosmos here earlier in the month. The added quarter mile may prove ideal and she could prove hard to beat. Sumo Sam drops in class after her Listed second and is noted along with Barrier, who appears one to watch for the future.

SUMO SAM looked a smart prospect when runner-up in the Pretty Polly here on her return 2 weeks ago and can defy a penalty back in a novice. Strong Impact was beaten only by subsequent Musidora-third Infinite Cosmos in a maiden here on her return and can follow the selection home.

The clear pick on form is SUMO SAM, and with further progress on the cards she's emphatically the one to beat.
Class & Speed Card

Donald McCain has often found success when sending his seasoned chasers back over timber, and that could be the case with ARMATTIEKAN. The nine-year-old was pulled up on his last two starts over fences, but he looks well treated back in this sphere and it would come as no surprise were he to rediscover the winning touch. Luna Dora remains capable of going well and must be on the shortlist, along with Dee Eire.

Given that RHODIA was second twice in bumpers, an opening mark of 96 could underestimate him, so he's worth chancing up in trip after a break. Armattiekan is a danger based on chasing form and Pass The Love On is another likely improver now her attentions are turned to handicaps.

Several of these might be capable of better, among them RHODIA on his handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

HARDY BLOKE kept on for fourth in a higher grade at Down Royal which gives him claims. He made all to win a novice hurdle on his sole previous visit to Wexford. Conor Clarke claims 7lb off him again. Walking The Walk posted a runner-up finish over a staying trip at Downpatrick on his last start. He is more than capable of having a big say and has actually been placed on all three outings over fences at this track. Ben Harvey gets the leg up on him for the first time. Hascoeur Clermont is one to keep an eye on in the market coming off a break. He met some very decent sorts in races last year. Trickey Trix's form is in and out, but she has shown that she can pop up at a price.

Though HARDY BLOKE has yet to match his hurdles form in this sphere, there were positives to glean from his latest effort at Down Royal and he could be the answer, granted a clean round of jumping. Walking The Walk was a good second on his recent return from a break at Downpatrick and he looks dangerous. Goodnightngodbless also enters calculations, along with probable improver Hascoeur Clermont.

Having travelled like a winner WALKING THE WALK was effectively outstayed by Ocean Legacy at Downpatrick but could now take revenge
Class & Speed Card

BLUESTOCKING created a deep impression when staying on strongly to win on her debut at Salisbury in September and she is fancied to book her Oaks ticket, for which she is as short as 10/1. Warm Heart improved plenty for the step up to this trip to break through at Leopardstown and the daughter of Galileo isn't taken lightly as she potentially puts her own Classic aspirations on the line. Polly Pott, who has a penalty for springing a surprise in the May Hill, wasn't up to the 1000 Guineas but better is expected now.

BLUESTOCKING made a striking winning debut at Salisbury in September and looks the type to go on to better things as a 3-y-o, especially now moving up in trip. Therefore, she earns a confident vote to maintain her unbeaten record. Warm Heart should continue to go the right way given her excellent pedigree, with Lmay another interesting contender following a promising debut at Haydock.

Warm Heart is probably set for a big run but BLUESTOCKING left a very positive impression with her 2yo win.
Class & Speed Card

Slight preference is for TWO SUMMERS, who has been knocking on the door of late and should be well suited by dropping back in trip. The booking of Paul Mulrennan is another plus, with last week's Leicester runner-up Autumn Flight and Hurt You Never the ones who might give her most to think about. Dandys Gold ran very well over 7f here last time out and the drop in trip may well suit. Impressor and Quercus are others to consider.

Wide open and TWO SUMMERS can play a big part after another good run at Catterick on Monday. Andromedas Kingdom is interesting starting out for Mick Appleby, with Impressor another to consider.

Gullane One is one of many dangers but perhaps YAZAMAN can finally take advantage of a weights drop on his third run for this yard.
Class & Speed Card

Celsius has gone well fresh in the past and makes the shortlist here, but he needs a career best off this mark and that may be asking too much at the age of seven. AL BAREZ didn't have the best of runs on his return when fourth here and, as that was his first start after a wind operation, he could do even better now. Spring Bloom was ahead of him in second that day, but may have to settle for another place on this occasion if the selection gets a clearer run.

AL BAREZ should be all the better for his reappearance C&D fourth after a long absence and can regain the winning thread here. Ascot-fourth Isle of Lismore could emerge as the chief threat to Tom Clover's low-mileage 4-y-o, with Spring Bloom and Ancient Times in the mix too in a competitive sprint.

The most compelling profile belongs to AL BAREZ (nap) who shaped well after a year off when fourth over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

SUNDAY SOLDIER was no match for an impressive winner at Southwell when second on her latest outing. However, that form appeals as the best on offer and she could open her account if running to a similar level. Queen Of Hindsight shaped encouragingly at Hexham on her racecourse debut and will be a threat should she take a step forward. Others to note include Granny Hawkins, Presently and Emma Hamilton.

PRESENTLY is bred for the Flat and the booking of Brian Hughes looks significant, so she gets the nod ahead of Sunday Soldier, who made a promising start for Fergal O'Brien at Southwell last time. Granny Hawkins is another notable newcomer.

A good second at Southwell on her British debut, SUNDAY SOLDIER can go one better.
Class & Speed Card

Even by his own standards, Willie Mullins is having a sensational month. It wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see Walk In The Park filly Cool Park make a winning start to her career. That said, there are plenty of horses with form in this race. One of them is certainly RHAENYRA. Colm Murphy's filly put in an excellent effort when coming home a clear second in a Grade 3 mares' bumper at Punchestown last month. Little Soiree was a close second in a pair of bumpers for Mullins and has switched to Paul Nolan. She has John Gleeson's assistance. Familiar Dreams was runner-up in Listed class at Limerick before being a beaten favourite in second at Cork. Oneforthefairgreen wasn't beaten far into third at Kilbeggan last month.

RHAENYRA improved markedly from her debut when runner-up in a competitive affair at Punchestown last time and she's fancied to go one better despite the presence of Cool Park, a notable debutant for a top yard. Little Soiree is the best of the remainder.

Second in a Grade 3 at Punchestown last month gives RHAENYRA the form edge here
Class & Speed Card

LEAP ABROAD lost little in defeat when finishing a fine fourth in an ultra-competitive affair at Newmarket a fortnight ago, more so given he carried 2lb overweight, and he makes most appeal now dropped in class slightly. Bernardo O'Reilly has hit some good form of late and is expected to be in the mix once more, while Twilight Madness has another go at 6f after a solid comeback fourth over Epsom's flying five. Letmelivemylife and Sergeant Tibbs are just two others who require consideration.

LEAP ABROAD again shaped well and highlighted he's one to be interested in when fourth in a similar big-field contest at Newmarket recently and, from a 2 lb lower mark, he could well be ready to open his account for the season. Unsurprisingly claims can be made for plenty, with Aplomb, the in-form Bernardo O'Reilly and Shobiz just a trio of others fancied to be thereabouts.

Class may come to the fore here with POPMASTER preferred to Leap Abroad back on better ground.
Class & Speed Card

Shamekh, who went for just a tenth of his initial 180,000gns purchase price when he left Godolphin at Tattersalls last autumn, is noteworthy on only his second start for current connections. However, COPPER AND FIVE strikes as a more attractively handicapped contender and given he has gone well here before, he is worth chancing on these terms. Arranmore and Cosmos Raj also appeal, while Little Jo, who won this in 2021, is on a hat-trick and has to be feared too.

COPPER AND FIVE is more than a stone lower in the weights than this time last season and shaped well with a recent run under his belt at Doncaster last time, so is fancied to score for the first time since September 2021. Little Jo is enjoying an Indian summer at the age of 9 but a 6 lb rise for winning a weak contest at Nottingham last week asks for more, whilst Menelaus is entitled to be sharper for his return and should prove competitive from this sort of mark.

The suggestion is class-dropper MOBASHR. Second choice is Shamekh. Several others have possibilities in an open race.

JACK THE FARMER benefitted from a step up in trip when second at Warwick last time, he has been put up 4lb but that may not be enough to stop him here. Dancingontheedge tries a tongue-tie for the first time looking to recapture the level of her second in March and she could also go well, leaving Hurricane Vichi as an interesting alternative after his wind-operation.

The vote goes to JACK THE FARMER, who pulled clear of the rest when second upped to 25f at Warwick recently and he could have more to offer over this sort of trip. Eaton Lady is next on the list on the back of an improved effort at Ludlow, while Hurricane Vichi is also shortlisted.

In good form for his new stable this spring, JACK THE FARMER went down fighting and was clear of the others when second at Warwick.

Four-year-olds have dominated this race in recent years taking the last three renewals, and if YORKINDNESS can adapt to the shorter trip after her second at Ripon, she may continue that run. Divine Comedy ran on well when third on her return over C&D last month and any improvement would make her a player, while Great Colaci intrigues. A winner off 2lb higher in September 2021, he is entitled to improve for his only start since when sixth at Musselburgh.

DIVINE COMEDY did well for Chris Wall last season and showed enough on her comeback run over C&D 3 weeks ago to suggest she can defy her current mark for her new yard. Franco Grasso looked better than ever on his second start for this stable when making a winning return to turf at Yarmouth and rates the main threat ahead of Yorkindness, who pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Ripon last week.

It was a pleasing reappearance from DIVINE COMEDY here three weeks ago and, if building on that, she looks sure to be involved.
Class & Speed Card

JACK DANIEL showed tenacity to score here a fortnight ago and could well follow up off just 4lb higher. He is still lightly raced and has more to offer having flourished since undergoing wind surgery last summer. Clear Angel is respected but races off 6lb higher than for his Wetherby triumph, so the reopposing Diamond Haze (second two weeks ago) might be a bigger threat to the selection on the revised terms.

CLEAR ANGEL proved his good effort in a big field at Doncaster was no fluke when producing a career best to score at Wetherby last time and he can defy a 6 lb rise to follow up. Miss Britain is another progressive sort and should be in the mix if continuing on an upward curve for her new yard, with recent heavy-ground C&D winner Jack Daniel and Diamond Haze others to consider.

As with the first division, this looks open. Last year's winner FROG AND TOAD is first choice ahead of Diamond Haze.
Class & Speed Card

Midnight Soldier is interesting on his first start for a new trainer after an easy bumper win at Fontwell in June 2021, but expecting a winning return after such a long absence may be asking too much. LOOKAWAY seems the more sensible option after an easy maiden hurdle win here over shorter, which followed fair efforts in much better races. Morning Line also warrants a mention for his powerful connections, though he does need to show more to have any say.

LOOKAWAY doesn't look like living up to his bumper promise over hurdles but he opened his account in ready fashion at this venue 2 weeks ago and should prove hard to beat under a penalty. Midnight Soldier hasn't been seen since winning his sole bumper start for Christian Williams nearly 2 years ago but the booking of Harry Cobden suggests a good run is expected on hurdle debut.

This looks good for recent course winner LOOKAWAY who has always had some class about him.
Class & Speed Card

Sankari is the only previous winner in this field after he scored by a neck at Thirsk, but he has to give 7lb or more to all of his rivals, including runner-up Unowho, who is weighted to gain his revenge. Both could get involved in the finish, but if HOORAY FOR HAZEL steps up on her debut third, she might have the edge. Slowly away and showing signs of inexperience at Beverley before running on, she could be a different proposition now.

RISING FORCE paid the price for a big mid-race move to get into contention after missing the break on his debut at Southwell but was spared a hard race once his chance had gone and strikes as the sort who could improve a lot for that initial experience. Therefore, he gets the nod, with Anfaal and Unowho considered the main threats.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see expensive Southwell failure RISING FORCE show a lot more this time.
Class & Speed Card

Bothwell Bridge is tried in first-time cheekpieces for a stable in form and, if they rekindle his enthusiasm, he is well-handicapped, although he has failed to complete on his last four starts over fences. Hawk's Well has won two of his three starts since going chasing and clearly has plenty of ability. That said, SILVER IN DISGUISE would probably have won the Highland National last time barring a mistake two out, and another 5lb rise may not stop him here.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and SILVER IN DISGUISE is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having blundered 2 out when a very good runner-up at Perth last time. In-form Cap du Nord is feared most now back in distance having not got home in the Scottish National, while Stormy Flight is another who can have a say provided he is none the worse for his Chepstow mishap.

After two very creditable runs at Cheltenham towards the end of last season, RISK AND ROLL is taken to exploit today's ease in grade.
Class & Speed Card

MCCAULEY'S TAVERN is becoming frustrating after five places from his 10 starts, but if jockey Joe Fanning can keep him on or near the early pace from a decent high draw, then this may be his best chance yet to get off the mark. Almaty Star is the obvious danger after running on to be beaten a neck by the odds-on favourite at Kempton, but he needs to repeat that back on the grass, with Surrey Noir and Dark Kestrel others to note.

ALMATY STAR holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to open his account at the chief expense of Chelmsford City second Surrey Noir, who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Dark Kestrel can take a sizeable step forward on his debut Yarmouth sixth and appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Dark Kestrel is interesting but ALMATY STAR has the benefit of a run and it was a good one at Kempton.
Class & Speed Card

TWIG only found one too strong in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month and he could capitalise off what looks a fair mark in this sphere. Although not the most reliable, Regarding Ruth bounced back to form when winning at Warwick in April and she shouldn't be underestimated off only 3lb higher in the ratings. Uhtred looks worth another go over this stiffer test having done his best work at the finish over an extended 2m5f at Ayr recently and also enters calculations.

UHTRED is unproven at this trip, but he looks ready to strike based on his fast-finishing third at Ayr 4 weeks ago, so receives the vote. Espoir de Romay and Twig head the opposition.

The vote goes to UHTRED who had tumbled in the weights prior to third at Ayr last month when shaping as if this longer trip would suit.
Class & Speed Card

Pennymoor won a Listed race on the all-weather on her most recent start and has to be respected, but her previous form on turf is not very strong and that is a worry. With that in mind, preference is for GOOD MORALS, who got off the mark at Wolverhampton last month and she remains open to improvement on her handicap bow. Aiming High is another with strong form claims on her return to turf.

PENNYMOOR is given one more chance on turf as a mark of 90 is lenient judged on her AW exploits. Low-mileage 3-y-o Good Morals could have more to come in handicaps and gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Aiming High.

The vote goes to GOOD MORALS, who was an emphatic winner on AW last month and is open to more progress on her handicap debut.
Class & Speed Card

MILTIADES offered plenty of encouragement when third on his chase debut at Stratford last month and a further 1lb ease in the handicap may be enough for Henry Daly's gelding to gain a first success. Harry Du Berlais wasn't disgraced at Warwick last time and first-time cheekpieces could eke out some improvement. Do It For Thy Sen is now 4lb lower than his Southwell triumph last May and is dangerous to rule out.

While DO IT FOR THY SEN's handful of appearances during the winter didn't amount to much, this is the time of year that he tends to show his best. Indeed, all 3 of his previous wins under Rules (and his maiden point success) were gained during the month of May and he is very appealing off this reduced mark with conditions in his favour. Forget You Not is second choice but Miltiades could also have a major say if backing up his soft-ground chase debut third at Stratford on this faster surface.

Preference is for DOGEM BY DESIGN, who had excuses last time and is better judged on his Catterick second in February.
Class & Speed Card

LITTLE MUDDY has won two of her three starts so far this season and a 5lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop her here. Libra Tiger hit the crossbar off a 1lb lower mark at Haydock last time and could be in the mix once again, while Streak Lightning and Live In The Moment are others to consider.

STREAK LIGHTNING shaped well at Newcastle a fortnight ago and could be worth chancing off the same mark down in trip back on turf. Live In The Moment and As If By Chance are a couple of others to consider in a big-field competitive handicap.

The mare LITTLE MUDDY (nap) has been in fine form this spring and is taken to win again. Faro De San Juan is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

GETAMAN returned from a break to show improved form to fill the runner-up spot at Warwick over fences recently, when only beaten just over a length. He now switches to the smaller obstacles, which sees him race off a 10lb lower mark than his chase rating. Last-time-out winner Governor Green has to be respected, while Enthused and Getaway Tom complete the shortlist.

GETAMAN returned to action with a solid second in a handicap chase at Warwick where he pulled well clear of the rest and, if able to reproduce form akin to that back over hurdles off a 7 lb lower mark, he will surely go close. Next on the list is Getaway Tom, who shaped as though dropping back to this trip would be in his favour when fifth at Exeter. Governor Green, who did the job well at Bangor last month, and handicap-debutant Imperial Sun are others to consider.

The vote goes to the lightly raced 6yo GOVERNOR GREEN (nap), who came good with a clearcut win at Bangor and is open to more progress.
Class & Speed Card

The step up to 7f appears to have done the trick with HARRY MAGNUS, who has now won his last two starts with a comfortable success at Newmarket last month being the most recent. The son of Harry Angel has been raised 4lb for that effort but there could be plenty more to come and he's pacey enough to cope with the drop to 6f. Open Market has gone close a few times already since moving to Karl Burke last year and is noted, while Hover On The Wind showed ability on all three starts last season and any market support for him would be noteworthy ahead of his handicap debut.

HARRY MAGNUS arrrives on a hat-trick and there could be more to come from this likeable type, so he takes preference over Sporting Hero, who remains with potential despite a poor run on testing ground at Thirsk last time. Hover On The Wind is also of interest on debut for a shrewd yard.

A few of these are open to further progress and SECRET GUEST can prove himself well handicapped on this return to good ground.
Class & Speed Card

CAN'T BEAT HISTORY showed up well last time at Southwell over 3m when fading into a respectable fifth, and he now takes a step back down in distance off a 1lb lower mark. In addition, that was only his fifth start over hurdles, so is likely to have more to come. Lighthouse Mill was beaten under a length in this grade last time and has been raised 2lb, which may keep him in contention. Boomtime Banker and Kilbrainy aren't ruled out either.

A few in with chances but CAN'T BEAT HISTORY has shaped up well on both outings in handicaps so, provided he can settle a touch better back down in trip, Henry Oliver's charge is selected to open his account. Boomtime Banker won both her starts last season and she may well emerge as the main danger if ready to roll after 8 months off, with Rock On Tommy and Lighthouse Mill others worth considering.

Preference is for CAN'T BEAT HISTORY, who looked stretched over 3m last time and could resume his progress back at this trip.

The hat-trick seeking GOLDEN MAVERICK seems the obvious place to start having relished the step to a mile last month when scoring at Wetherby, before another win more recently at Southwell. There doesn't appear to be any negatives about him with ground and trip to suit, and he may still be ahead of his current mark. My Roxanne was the horse who took advantage of Pat Cosgrave's poorly-judged ride aboard Concorde at Chelmsford two runs ago, and she isn't one to dismiss lightly. Ticket To Alaska is stepping up in trip and looks to have solid place claims.

GOLDEN MAVERICK is progressing nicely and once again had something to spare when scoring at Southwell recently, so he's worth supporting in the hat-trick bid. Hidden Code looks a danger and Timedtoperfection remains open to improvement.

The progressive topweight GOLDEN MAVERICK has won his last two and can land the hat-trick. Streetstorm may be the chief danger.
Ths is the racecard key.
