1	8 1st (8) (8/1 -14%) Porta Fortuna		8 8/1(-14%)																															(8) Porta Fortuna 8/1, Overcame inexperience to win 8-runner maiden (9/2) at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut 35 days ago by neck from Neo Smart. Should be plenty more to come from her. Looked ready to step up in trip when beating Neo Smart over 5f on debut; form is suspect.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 -146%) Launch		16 16/1(-146%)																															(4) Launch 16/1, Promising sort. ½-length second of 13 to Bated Moon in maiden at Cork (5f, soft, 16/1) on debut 16 days ago. May well do better and is 4 lb better off with that rival. Headed in the closing stages by Bated Moon on debut at Cork, longer trip may favour winner.
4	9 4th (9) (1.62/1 +68%) Ribchestina		1.62 1.62/1(+68%)																															(9) Ribchestina 1.62/1, Cheap yearling who was well prepared to win 9-runner maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 27 days ago, comfortably. First run for yard after leaving Ms Sheila Lavery. Open to improvement. Beat odds-on chance Vanity Pays over C&D, has now joined that filly's trainer, respected.
5th	2 5th (2) (100/1 -52%) Blame Thechampagne		100 100/1(-52%)																															(2) Blame Thechampagne 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 5¼ lengths fourth of 5 to His Majesty in listed race at the Curragh (5f, soft, 22/1) 20 days ago. Needs to step up the form she has shown in notching two fourth placings at the Curragh.
6th	13 6th (13) (3.5/1 -75%) Ziggy's Dream		3.5 3.5/1(-75%)																															(13) Ziggy's Dream 3.5/1, Winning debut at Doncaster in April. 7/2, better form when second of 11 in minor event at Chester (5.1f, heavy) 11 days ago, not having run of race and strong at the finish. Open to progress. Won on debut, confirmed ability with Chester second despite not getting a clear run.
7th	10 7th (10) (150/1 -127%) Smart Impression		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Smart Impression 150/1, Fifth of 9 in maiden at this course (5f, good, 22/1) on debut 15 days ago, never nearer. Ran green at this venue first time out, should improve but this looks too demanding.
8th	12 8th (12) (25/1 +24%) What A Squeeze		25 25/1(+24%)																															(12) What A Squeeze 25/1, Fourth of 6 in novice event at this C&D (good, 12/1) on debut 15 days ago. Should progress. Looks capable of improving from her initial run; closely matched with Making Time.
9th	1 9th (1) (7.5/1 -15%) Bated Moon		7.5 7.5/1(-15%)																															(1) Bated Moon 7.5/1, 11/2, won 13-runner maiden at Cork (5f, soft) on debut 16 days ago by ½ length from Launch. Sure to improve for her leading yard so has to be of major interest. Got the better of today's rival Launch over 5f on debut at Cork, can probably uphold form.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 +20%) Making Time		16 16/1(+20%)																															(5) Making Time 16/1, Third of 6 in novice event (11/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 15 days ago, finishing well. Likely to improve. Made an encouraging debut over C&D, could hold her own again previous winners.
12th	11 12th (11) (14/1 +13%) West Of Wichita		14 14/1(+13%)																															(11) West Of Wichita 14/1, Promising start when. 2¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Bated Moon in maiden (15/2) at Cork (5f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Sure to know more this time. Started slowly and stayed on well first time out at Cork. held by Bated Moon and Launch.
13th	7 13th (7) (50/1 -25%) Neo Smart		50 50/1(-25%)																															(7) Neo Smart 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 15 in maiden at Cork (5f, good, 9/1) 4 days ago, not much room. Does look vulnerable at this level. Has failed to build on her neck second behind Porta Fortuna on debut, others preferred.

LTO Selection:

WEST OF WICHITA will be a bit of a price but makes some appeal after a promising debut at Cork. Kevin Coleman's filly wasn't unsupported but lost her chance with a slow break before coming home well to finish fourth. It wouldn't be the greatest surprise to see her turn around form with the first two home that day, Bated Moon and Launch, over this extra furlong. Ziggy's Dream has shown plenty of ability on soft ground and represents a yard which has won a couple of stakes races when sending horses over to Ireland while course and distance winner Ribchestina has switched yards but may not have beaten a lot in that debut victory. Making Time ran well against colts here on her first start while both Jakku and Navassa Island cost plenty and are notable newcomers.

There should be one or two useful fillies coming out of this, with bargain-buy RIBCHESTINA the most promising of all on the back of her stylish win over C&D a month ago. She's since transferred to the powerful Paddy Twomey team and there should be lots more to come. Bated Moon saw off Launch at Cork but a 4 lb weight pull may see the latter reverse the form, while British raider Ziggy's Dream adds extra interest.

A debut C&D winner for Sheila Lavery RIBCHESTINA may score on her first run for this stable, Ziggy's Dream rates a big danger

4	6 4th (6) (1.2/1 -9%) Valadero		1.2 1.2/1(-9%)																															(6) Valadero 1.2/1, Made a promising debut when second of 16 in the Brocklesby at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 3/1), worn down near finish. Unable to land the odds at Thirsk next time but that form is working out well. Can put his experience to good use. Close second twice over 5f; step up in trip positive; should again go close..
5th	4 5th (4) (40/1 +50%) Sergeant Mayer		40 40/1(+50%)																															(4) Sergeant Mayer 40/1, Foaled March 23. €50,000 foal, £40,000 yearling, Soldier's Call gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 6f Lorna Cole and 6f-1m winner Shalkar. Dam maiden (stayed 8.5f), sister to winner up to 7f Hatta Fort and 1¼m-1½m winner Spirit of Appin (both smart). Half-brother to winners Lorna Cole (5f-6f including 2yo) and Shalkar; dam maiden 1m-2m4f..

LTO Selection:

---

VALADERO, who was second in both the Brocklesby and a Thirsk maiden, has proven ability and can put his experience to good use in an attempt to make it third-time lucky. There are a few interesting newcomers in opposition, though, with Strong Request, a half-brother to decent sprinter Crispy Cat, the most appealing on paper. Asadna and Sergeant Mayer are also worth a second look.

VALADERO sets a high standard for his rivals who are all newcomers and can put his experience to good use. Asadna and Strong Request are both likely types, but they will probably need to be well above-average to beat Valadero.

The step up from 5f looks a good move where the dual second VALADERO is concerned and he is taken to break his duck this time.

1	6 1st (6) (9/1 -29%) Nevendon		9 9/1(-29%)																															(6) Nevendon 9/1, Modest hurdler. Pulled up in claiming hurdle at Clonmel (18.5f, heavy, 14/1) 61 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Tongue strap on 1st time. More needed. Fair fourth in Limerick claimer in January but pulled up in same grade on final Irish run.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.75/1 +0%) Book Of Secrets		1.75 1.75/1(+0%)																															(1) Book Of Secrets 1.75/1, Fair on the Flat and matched that form when placed in a pair of juvenile hurdles in late 2021. Shaped better than the distance beaten after 15 months off at Southwell on return and he's respected Fourth in run-of-the-mill maiden in February, after a layoff; a contender at this level.
3	2 3rd (2) (0.83/1 +25%) Call Me Rocky		0.83 0.83/1(+25%)																															(2) Call Me Rocky 0.83/1, Fair maiden hurdler ran one of his better efforts when fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft, 22/1) 87 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan and has the ability to get involved. Not beaten far when fifth of 18 in Thurles handicap in February; should feature here.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 -38%) Ambush Annie		11 11/1(-38%)																															(7) Ambush Annie 11/1, Runner-up in pair of ordinary Irish points and failed to see race out when seventh of 11 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Progress required with cheekpieces applied. Second in two Irish points in autumn; quickly dropped in grade after low-key rules debut.
4	4 |PU| (4) (66/1 +0%) Le Douet Vacu		66 66/1(+0%)																															(4) Le Douet Vacu 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, sixteenth of 17 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Tailed off when 66-1 for last month's bumper debut at Warwick.
5	5 |PU| (5) (125/1 +0%) Naasik		125 125/1(+0%)																															(5) Naasik 125/1, Remains a maiden after 32 runs and offered little following lengthy absence last time. Well beaten off lowly handicap mark last week and now 0-28 over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

---

CALL ME ROCKY was last seen finishing a respectable fifth of 18 in a competitive handicap hurdle at Thurles in February and he's fancied to make a winning start for Cian Collins, who makes the long trip over from Ireland to send this sole runner. Book of Secrets is also of interest for a top stable and will go well if running up to his rating of 107, while Ambush Annie completes the shortlist.

BOOK OF SECRETS pulled too hard to be involved in the finish on his return from over a year off at Southwell last time but went through the race as if retaining all his ability and he's fancied to score for the first time over hurdles. Irish-raider Call Me Rocky is another player if putting his best foot forward.

1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -17%) Cosmic Vega		14 14/1(-17%)																															(2) Cosmic Vega 14/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win here in November. Good 2 lengths third of 7 to Goldana in Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 12/1) 35 days ago, running on late. Useful form last season when won twice over 1m, solid third in Curragh Group 3 on latest.
2	11 2nd (11) (6/1 +70%) Sharlouk		6 6/1(+70%)																															(11) Sharlouk 6/1, 6/5, won 13-runner maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, heavy) 14 days ago, suited by drop in trip. This asks a different question. Won a maiden over this trip at Leopardstown, rise in class may be a bit much for him.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 +29%) New Energy		2.5 2.5/1(+29%)																															(4) New Energy 2.5/1, Smart colt. 5/4, 4 lengths fourth of 6 to Power Under Me in Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. This is a slight drop in class and he's a major player on these terms. Second in last year's Irish 2,000 Guineas, capable of much better than on seasonal debut.
4	10 4th (10) (4.5/1 +72%) Panic Alarm		4.5 4.5/1(+72%)																															(10) Panic Alarm 4.5/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Creditable 2¾ lengths third of 6 to Lord Massusus in minor event (2/1) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 33 days ago. Won twice at two including over C&D, appears held by Lord Massusus on Gowran running.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Mutasarref		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(1) Mutasarref 3.5/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Career best when winning 7-runner listed race at Cork (7f, good, 6/5) by 3 lengths from Cigamia, pushed out. Off 9 months and must concede weight all round but he's in top hands. Completed a hat-trick of 7f wins when taking a Listed race at Cork last August, respected.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -14%) Monaasib		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Monaasib 16/1, Useful gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. 10/3, good ¾-length third of 6 to Villanova Queen in minor event at Tipperary (7.4f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Two wins were as a juvenile, overall profile suggests he is flattered by his 103 rating.
7th	8 7th (8) (6.5/1 +19%) Yerwanthere		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(8) Yerwanthere 6.5/1, First run since leaving Patrick T. Foley when winning 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f, 10/1). Off 170 days but she's unbeaten and limit hasn't been reached. Joined this stable after debut win last June, Dundalk winner in December, jumps in class.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 -178%) Villanova Queen		25 25/1(-178%)																															(7) Villanova Queen 25/1, Useful form when making winning reappearance in April. 10½ lengths last of 6 to Power Under Me in Amethyst Stakes (9/2) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Merits consideration away from the mud back down in trip. Did not handle testing conditions on latest, this should be more suitable at least.
9th	12 9th (12) (50/1 -52%) La Dolce Vita		50 50/1(-52%)																															(12) La Dolce Vita 50/1, Fairly useful filly. 28/1, 9½ lengths last of 10 to Never Ending Story in 1000 Guineas Trial at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 49 days ago. Pretty exposed. Fifth in the Moyglare on final start at two, in rear in a Group 3 event on seasonal debut.
10th	5 10th (5) (33/1 -32%) American Kestrel		33 33/1(-32%)																															(5) American Kestrel 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 3½ lengths fifth of 11 to Times Square in listed race (83/10) at Longchamp (7f, heavy). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving David Menuisier and a big career best is needed. Went close to winning at this level in France last September, more needed on Irish debut.
11th	6 11th (6) (28/1 -40%) Smile Of Love		28 28/1(-40%)																															(6) Smile Of Love 28/1, Useful filly. Tongue strap on for first time, respectable 2¾ lengths third of 14 to Juncture in listed race at Dundalk (8f, 10/3). Off 6 months and this no easy task. Progressive in her four starts last year, not in the same league as stablemate Mutasarref.

Last year's Irish 2000 Guineas second NEW ENERGY should be a lot sharper now having had the benefit of a recent outing at Leopardstown. The Sheila Lavery-trained colt was slightly disappointing in managing only fourth in a Group 3 at the Foxrock venue but he wouldn't have been suited by the heavy ground. Back on a quicker surface now, it would be a surprise if he didn't play a major role in the outcome of this race. The improvement of Lord Massusus as a three-year-old has been one of the stories of the flat season to date. The Joseph Murphy-trained gelding was value for more than the winning margin over 6f here last time and he is already proven at this trip. Yerwanthere has a bit to find on official ratings but is a thoroughly unexposed, unbeaten filly who has further scope for progression.

LORD MASSUSUS produced a performance verging on smart when a cosy winning of a handicap a fortnight ago despite a less-than-ideal run and he can take the step up to listed company in his stride. New Energy is a big threat, along with unbeaten filly Yerwanthere and Villlanova Queen on drying ground.

It could pay to forgive the Classic-placed NEW ENERGY for his failure to shine in testing conditions on his seasonal debut

1	7 1st (7) (1.25/1 +0%) Market Value		1.25 1.25/1(+0%)																															(7) Market Value 1.25/1, Bred in the purple and she took a marked step forward from her sole start as a 2-y-o when third of 7 in novice event at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago. Possible she'll be sharper for that and big player with more to come. Improved effort latest; step up in trip should suit; likely to be a big player..

Likely improver with that under her belt. Showed promise on debut; step up in trip looks positive; should be very competitive..

Likely to do better again with this longer trip expected to suit. Improved effort on first start for this trainer; step up in trip looks positive; player..
4	6 4th (6) (6.5/1 +54%) Lady Claypoole		6.5 6.5/1(+54%)																															(6) Lady Claypoole 6.5/1, Thrice-raced filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 16 in maiden (100/1) at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) 32 days ago. Remains the type to do better but handicaps likely to be more her bag.

Low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag further down the line. 125-1 and unable to get in a serious blow on AW debut at Newcastle (12.5f) latest; watch..

Can only be watched. Big prices and well beaten on both starts at around 1m; much more needed..

LTO Selection:

Ripon has been a happy hunting ground for William Haggas and the Newmarket handler can enjoy more success at the Garden Racecourse courtesy of the progressive MARKET VALUE, who made a pleasing reappearance when third in a decent novice stakes at Haydock last month. Stepping up in trip looks a good move for this half-sister to Evaluation, a useful staying handicapper, and a big run can be expected. Jo's Rainbow and Bosc Girl are the dangers.

MARKET VALUE makes plenty of appeal on paper and stepped up plenty on her sole start as a 2-y-o when third on return in a Haydock novice (1m) 3 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that, she remains open to improvement and gets the nod to come out on top. There is a good deal of potential in opposition though, with Beautifulasalways and Bosc Girl heading up the dangers.

This step up in trip should suit MARKET VALUE, who looks to have slightly better form than the rest and is taken to score.

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +20%) First Angel		4 4/1(+20%)																															(1) First Angel 4/1, Fair maiden who ran right up to best when placed in 2 starts over fences last summer, latterly at Perth (2m) in July. Shaped as if needing the run (on return from 8-month absence) at Market Rasen 61 days ago and merits consideration starting out for new yard. Returned from break with disappointing run in March; now with new stable.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -14%) Copper Fox		4 4/1(-14%)																															(2) Copper Fox 4/1, Didn't need to improve when winning mediocre Uttoxeter maiden hurdle in June but took a step forward when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Newcastle when last seen in December. Should make a chaser (runner-up sole start in points) and makes plenty of appeal in this field. Good second on latest hurdling start in December; shortlisted on today's chasing debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +50%) Henri Le Bon		4 4/1(+50%)																															(5) Henri Le Bon 4/1, Only win came when awarded race at Uttoxeter in July. Well held last 2 starts over hurdles and pulled up both previous attempts in this sphere. Well handicapped on some hurdle form but is a risky option on this return to chasing.
4	6 4th (6) (7.5/1 -36%) George Bancroft		7.5 7.5/1(-36%)																															(6) George Bancroft 7.5/1, Out of sorts over hurdles and lit up by first-time blinkers on chase bow at Fontwell last month. Ran well to a point on last month's chasing debut but has basically become disappointing.
5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 +0%) Blue Ribbon		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(4) Blue Ribbon 5.5/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner for Dr Richard Newland in 2021 but struggled to make a significant impact in handicap chases for current yard last season, beaten 19 lengths when second at Exeter latest. Ran big race under enterprising ride when second at Exeter last month.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 -33%) Lonimoss Bareliere		10 10/1(-33%)																															(7) Lonimoss Bareliere 10/1, Remains a maiden and last 2 efforts were below par. Others preferred. 0-24 under all codes but his Southwell second in March makes him of interest here.
8	8 |F| (8) (16/1 +20%) Phoebus Lescribaa		16 16/1(+20%)																															(8) Phoebus Lescribaa 16/1, Veteran who struggled over hurdles last season and easily passed over operating from out of the weights on belated return to chasing. Well beaten on both hurdling starts this year; new headgear tried on this chasing return.
3	3 |PU| (3) (14/1 -250%) Fancy Stuff		14 14/1(-250%)																															(3) Fancy Stuff 14/1, Fair bumper winner but hasn't progressed over hurdles, finishing weakly at Warwick 3 weeks ago. However, no surprise if she fared better now switched to this sphere (won sole start in Irish points). Soundly beaten in two handicap hurdles this spring; has a point to prove on chasing debut.
9	9 |PU| (9) (14/1 +65%) Foillmore		14 14/1(+65%)																															(9) Foillmore 14/1, Maiden hurdler who ran one of his better races when 14 lengths third in 13-runner Taunton handicap hurdle 919f) 69 days ago. However, will need to step up a good bit to figure now chasing from 4 lb out of the weights (little impact in Irish points). Kept on for modest third over hurdles in March but out of the weights again on chase debut.

LTO Selection:

---

COPPER FOX must hold every chance if building upon a strong runner-up effort at Newcastle last December behind a winner that has gone in multiple times since. Good ground is another plus and he can see off the likes of Fancy Stuff and First Angel, who may be a maiden through 11 starts but is very interesting on his first run for new connections.

COPPER FOX arrives with a decent profile over hurdles and has been found a weak race starting out in this sphere. First Angel should come on for his return and is next best starting out for a new yard, with another chasing newcomer Fancy Stuff best of the others.

1	5 1st (5) (1.62/1 +19%) The Antarctic		1.62 1.62/1(+19%)																															(5) The Antarctic 1.62/1, Smart colt. Course winner. 4/5, 6¾ lengths third of 5 to Ocean Quest in listed race at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. Stable in good form. Has to be taken seriously. Arguably the pick of the field on juvenile form, probably not suited by heavy at Navan.
2	15 2nd (15) (2.5/1 +29%) Ocean Quest		2.5 2.5/1(+29%)																															(15) Ocean Quest 2.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/1, career best when winning 5-runner listed race at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 29 days ago by 6 lengths from Aesop's Fables. Can make presence felt again. Routed a field that included The Antarctic and Shartash in testing conditions at Navan.
3	14 3rd (14) (14/1 +0%) Ocean Jewel		14 14/1(+0%)																															(14) Ocean Jewel 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. 2¼ lengths second of 9 to Beauty Crescent in listed race (11/2) at Fairyhouse (6f, good). Off 8 months. Should improve. Possibilities. Second in a 6f Listed race last September, capable of making further progress at three..
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 -317%) Thunderbear		50 50/1(-317%)																															(6) Thunderbear 50/1, Useful gelding. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 18/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 19 days ago, easily. This demands more though. Nottingham handicap winner, needs to improve again in order to feature at this level.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 -43%) Shartash		10 10/1(-43%)																															(1) Shartash 10/1, Useful colt. C&D winner. 10/3, 20¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Ocean Quest in listed race at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. In the mix. Failed to do himself justice on seasonal debut, held his own at top level last season.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 +0%) Torivega		150 150/1(+0%)																															(7) Torivega 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, heavy, 11/2) 14 days ago, slowly away. Plenty to find on form. Out of the money in two maiden outings, this looks highly ambitious.
7th	12 7th (12) (5.5/1 +21%) Mauiewowie		5.5 5.5/1(+21%)																															(12) Mauiewowie 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner. Creditable 1½ lengths second of 9 to Fix You in listed race (5/2) at Cork (5.5f, soft) 16 days ago. In the picture. Solid chance now after second to a British-trained rival in a Listed sprint at Cork.
8th	11 8th (11) (14/1 +13%) Maria Branwell		14 14/1(+13%)																															(11) Maria Branwell 14/1, Fairly useful filly. First run since leaving David O'Meara when creditable 3½ lengths fourth of 9 to Fix You in listed race (13/2) at Cork (5.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Stable in good form. Not discounted. Best form early last season. 2l behind runner-up Mauiewowie at Cork on seasonal debut.
9th	2 9th (2) (50/1 -100%) Apache Outlaw		50 50/1(-100%)																															(2) Apache Outlaw 50/1, Useful colt. 18/1, 5¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Aesop's Fables in Futurity Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to firm). Off 9 months. Stable having good spell. Tongue strap on 1st time and not discounted. Third behind Shartash in Railway Stakes, plenty to prove in this grade on overall form.
10th	9 10th (9) (80/1 -100%) Badb		80 80/1(-100%)																															(9) Badb 80/1, Fairly useful filly. 11/1, 5¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Fix You in listed race at Cork (5.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Trainer going well. Uphill task. Seems well exposed, looks safely held by Mauiewowie on running at Cork on reappearance.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 +0%) Clever And Cool		33 33/1(+0%)																															(10) Clever And Cool 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable 5½ lengths fourth of 8 to Honey Girl in Athasi Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft, 25/1) 20 days ago, never nearer. Stable in good form so she's no forlorn hope. Has shown a tendency to start slowly, needs to raise her game considerably.
12th	8 12th (8) (25/1 +24%) Apricot Twist		25 25/1(+24%)																															(8) Apricot Twist 25/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. 6 lengths seventh of 11 to Funny Money Honey in listed race at Dundalk (5f, 5/1). Off 7 months and needs to take her form up a notch. Fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh last August, second-string for trainer of Mauiewowie.
13th	13 13th (13) (80/1 -21%) Nightcliff		80 80/1(-21%)																															(13) Nightcliff 80/1, Useful filly. 16 lengths eighth of 11 to Zarinsk in Cornelscourt Stakes (25/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 14 days ago, slowly away. Down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not dismissed. Did not seem to stay 1m at Leopardstown a fortnight ago; others have strong credentials.
14th	3 14th (3) (80/1 +0%) Running Cool		80 80/1(+0%)																															(3) Running Cool 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Good third of 15 in maiden (11/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Has more to offer but this is a difficult ask. Showed maiden-winning potential on seasonal debut at Gowran, up against it at this level.
15th	4 15th (4) (33/1 -32%) Song For Whoever		33 33/1(-32%)																															(4) Song For Whoever 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. 8/15, career best when winning 7-runner minor event at Dundalk (6f), readily. Off 114 days. Makes turf debut with more required. Will need to surpass Dundalk form considerably in order to make an impact on turf debut..

OCEAN QUEST may be able to confirm Navan form with The Antarctic, despite meeting that rival on 5lbs worse terms. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly caused a real upset at the County Meath venue when proving too strong for the dual Group 1-placed Ballydoyle colt but there appeared to be no fluke about her victory. Much will depend on the draw here, as Ocean Quest is berthed in stall 13, while her main threat has been handed a low number. The Antarctic seems certain to come on from his seasonal debut and should strip fitter for this contest. He looks a potentially top-class sprinter in the making so deserves plenty of respect. Mauiewowie made a hugely impressive winning debut over 5f at this track last season before going on to acquit herself well in Listed company subsequently. The Ger Lyons-trained filly has stamina to prove but has to enter calculations.

Lots of runners but THE ANTARCTIC looks the way to go here given he possesses the best form and can also boast a course victory. Ocean Quest rates the chief threat on the back of her recent listed success at Navan, with the less exposed Ocean Jewel also worth considering if ready to roll on her seasonal return.

With a low draw and on different ground and terms THE ANTARCTIC is tipped to reverse Navan form with Ocean Quest

5	5 (5) (11/1 -83%) Laser Guided		11 11/1(-83%)																															(5) Laser Guided 11/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 5 in maiden (13/8) at Newcastle (10.2f) 19 days ago, having run of race. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut and he remains with potential. Runner-up the last twice and possible player on handicap debut for in-form stable.
1	2 1st (2) (0.91/1 +44%) Mr Buster		0.91 0.91/1(+44%)																															(2) Mr Buster 0.91/1, Promising sort. 5/2, improved further after 5 months off when second of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 40 days ago, edged out near line. Will continue on the upgrade and holds leading claims on handicap debut having been gelded. Placed on all three runs & fine pedigree indicates this longer h'cap debut trip will suit.
2	3 2nd (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Roaring Legend		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(3) Roaring Legend 4.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, ran well when second of 8 on handicap debut (easy-to-back 3/1) at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Runner-up on handicap debut at Redcar and the 2l winner has followed up; solid claims.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 +0%) Rievaulx Raver		22 22/1(+0%)																															(7) Rievaulx Raver 22/1, Course winner who wasted no time getting back to form when third of 6 in handicap (8/1) at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 10 days ago. More needed back up in trip. Course novice winner but no threat this year and looks vulnerable in this warm race.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 +38%) Vondelpark		10 10/1(+38%)																															(8) Vondelpark 10/1, Wide-margin course winner last September. Improved after 6 months off when third of 6 in handicap at this course (8f, soft, 12/1) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Form of reappearance third here has worked out well and he's not ruled out.
5th	1 5th (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Radetsky Marsch		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Radetsky Marsch 4.5/1, Got off the mark switched to all-weather after 6 months off in 6-runner minor event at Kempton (10f, 16/1) 50 days ago, rallying to lead dying strides. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve. Showed a good attitude to win 1m2f AW novice last month and is respected on handicap debut.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 +15%) Mister Sox		28 28/1(+15%)																															(9) Mister Sox 28/1, 18/1, improved when third of 4 on handicap debut at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 17 days ago, having run of race. Up in trip. Open to improvement on this second handicap start but others are more compelling.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 +0%) Bohemian Breeze		22 22/1(+0%)																															(4) Bohemian Breeze 22/1, 9/2, well beaten after 5 months off when last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 39 days ago, possibly unsuited by such testing ground. Tailed off on h'cap debut but on soft ground; possible this Galileo colt will bounce back.

MR BUSTER found only the progressive Wonder Legend too strong at Wolverhampton last month and, given the winner subsequently bolted up off a rating of 81, Ralph Beckett's charge appears to have been let in lightly off an opening mark of 80. Radetsky Marsch is likely to have more to offer now entering handicaps and isn't taken lightly, with the in-form pair Laser Guided and Roaring Legend also worthy of consideration.

Cases can be made for a few of these, but MR BUSTER gets the nod to make a winning start in handicaps having bumped into a smart prospect on return at Wolverhampton just under 6 weeks ago. Similar comments apply for Laser Guided, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Radetsky Marsch and Roaring Legend rounding off the shortlist.

Top of the list is MR BUSTER, who has strong form and whose classy pedigree firmly indicates he will be suited by this step up in trip.

1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +0%) Maid Of The Night		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(7) Maid Of The Night 4.5/1, Point winner who justified strong support making a winning handicap debut at Hereford (21.5f, good) in February. Fell next time but put that firmly behind her when narrowly scoring at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Could have more to offer upped in trip. 2-3 since switched to handicaps; could easily have more to offer over this new trip.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 +8%) Nora The Xplorer		11 11/1(+8%)																															(1) Nora The Xplorer 11/1, Pair of mares' novice wins at up to 3m early in 2022 and ran up to best (in first-time blinkers) when third in handicap at Doncaster (19.4f) in January. Another sound effort when occupying fourth spot at Musselburgh a couple of months ago but more is needed back up in trip. Ran okay in series final over 2m4f last time; unexposed over this sort of trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Shantou Sunset		4.5 4.5/1(+0%)																															(2) Shantou Sunset 4.5/1, Won this corresponding event 12 months ago on final start for Philip Hobbs and having been rather hit and miss after, bounced back to form when scoring over C&D 4 weeks ago. She remains well treated on old form but whether she's in the same mood is another issue. Won this in 2022 and returned to form with C&D success last month; likely contender.
4	3 4th (3) (1.62/1 -8%) Hello Sunshine		1.62 1.62/1(-8%)																															(3) Hello Sunshine 1.62/1, Produced a career best to double her tally over hurdles when scoring with ease on just her second outing for her current yard at Plumpton (25f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Major claims under a penalty provided this doesn't come too soon. Won pretty comfortably by 11l at Plumpton last week; commands respect under penalty.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 +0%) Ratoute Yutty		50 50/1(+0%)																															(9) Ratoute Yutty 50/1, Both wins for her yard have come at Huntingdon under this rider but recent efforts have been rather flat. Faces a stiff task from out of the weights. This year's form is uninspiring and she's 8lb out of the weights here.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 +67%) Firefly Lane		33 33/1(+67%)																															(10) Firefly Lane 33/1, Did reasonably well in points over the winter but offered little in a couple of starts at Exeter in recent months. Well out of the weights and can only be watched. Has struggled on both starts since returned to racing under rules this spring.
7th	6 7th (6) (12/1 +40%) Danzini		12 12/1(+40%)																															(6) Danzini 12/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good) last July. However. followed that with a tame effort at Worcester the following month and probably needed the run after 8 months off at Taunton recently. More needed. Will be suited by today's return to good ground but has more to prove than some.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 +14%) Treefinch		12 12/1(+14%)																															(5) Treefinch 12/1, Fair form to twice make the frame in maiden/novice hurdles last term but only seventh on first 2 starts switched to handicap company at Uttoxeter and Huntingdon. Not beaten as far when fifth at Warwick (21f, good to soft) earlier this month and she could hit the frame. Took step in right direction this month but is not straightforward; others look safer.
9th	4 9th (4) (6/1 +8%) Hellfire Princess		6 6/1(+8%)																															(4) Hellfire Princess 6/1, Bumper winner who showed very little in her qualifying runs over hurdles but seems to be going the right way now, shaping as in need of further when third of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Needs considering upped in trip. Kept on for third at Chepstow (2m7f) last month and is not yet fully exposed.

LTO Selection:

An easy winner at Plumpton last week when stepped up in trip, HELLO SUNSHINE is turned out again quickly under a 7lb penalty and she is taken to follow up. The extra distance should not inconvenience her and she may have too much for C&D winner Shantou Sunset and Maid Of The Night, who has won two of her last three. Hellfire Princess and Nora The Xplorer cannot be ruled out either.

HELLO SUNSHINE was well suited by a longer trip when running out a facile winner at Plumpton last week and, provided this doesn't come too soon, George Baker's 7-y-o is likely to take some stopping in her follow-up bid under a penalty. Hellfire Princess should relish this extra distance so she could be the one to chase home the selection, ahead of recent winner Maid of The Night and Treefinch.

1	15 1st (15) (2.25/1 +0%) Unless		2.25 2.25/1(+0%)																															(15) Unless 2.25/1, Fairly useful filly. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable second of 20 in maiden at this C&D (good, 11/4) 15 days ago. Stable in good form. Sure to go well. Recent C&D second remains the one to beat with blinkers retained.
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +0%) Lan Cinnte		4 4/1(+0%)																															(6) Lan Cinnte 4/1, Thrice-raced filly. 11/10, second of 17 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft) in October, staying on and just failing. Significant step up in trip should suit on return to action and she's fancied to feature. Just denied here last October; trip to suit and definite player if handling quicker ground.
3	14 3rd (14) (5/1 +23%) Sweetest Rose		5 5/1(+23%)																															(14) Sweetest Rose 5/1, Lightly-raced filly. Creditable second of 15 in maiden (4/1) at Limerick (7f, soft) 29 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and another likely to be thereabouts. Front-runner has solid form but could be vulnerable over this trip.
4	12 4th (12) (2/1 +50%) Persian Jewel		2 2/1(+50%)																															(12) Persian Jewel 2/1, €145,000 yearling, Showcasing filly. 7/2, third of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut 49 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better. Last month's Leopardstown debut promise makes her of interest; better ground should suit.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -178%) Kelly's Out		50 50/1(-178%)																															(4) Kelly's Out 50/1, Promising sort. 125/1, third of 10 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) on debut 32 days ago, best work finish. Open to progress. Promising Gowran debut run but this looks a stronger maiden.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -100%) Muhaarar's Girl		50 50/1(-100%)																															(9) Muhaarar's Girl 50/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, eighth of 20 in maiden at this C&D (good, 22/1) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer. Satisfactory C&D debut but much more needed to play a major role.
9th	11 9th (11) (80/1 -60%) Pascalia		80 80/1(-60%)																															(11) Pascalia 80/1, Churchill filly. 14/1, thirteenth of 20 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 15 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Churchill filly well held on C&D debut early this month; can only be watched for now.
11th	5 11th (5) (150/1 -20%) Lady Kai		150 150/1(-20%)																															(5) Lady Kai 150/1, Once-raced filly. Twelfth of 20 in maiden (80/1) at this C&D (good) on debut 15 days ago, slowly away. Plenty keen when never featuring on recent C&D debut; likely to need more time.
12th	10 12th (10) (200/1 +0%) O Merisi		200 200/1(+0%)																															(10) O Merisi 200/1, Once-raced filly. Thirteenth of 15 in maiden (80/1) at Limerick (7f, soft) on debut 29 days ago, very slowly away. Never sighted after slow start on last month's Limerick debut; can only be watched for now.
13th	7 13th (7) (50/1 +0%) Lan Mara		50 50/1(+0%)																															(7) Lan Mara 50/1, Lightly-raced filly. 20/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.6f, heavy) 33 days ago, off bridle before most and never landing a blow. Needs to leave that well behind to figure here. Return to better ground may suit but questions to answer at this stage.
14th	2 14th (2) (200/1 -60%) Dance The Flame		200 200/1(-60%)																															(2) Dance The Flame 200/1, Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 10 in maiden (125/1) at Gowran (7f, soft) 11 days ago, making little impression. Low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag. Not much so far in maidens, best waited for in handicaps.
16th	8 16th (8) (150/1 -20%) Lolyta		150 150/1(-20%)																															(8) Lolyta 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 12 in maiden at Cork (7f, heavy, 40/1) 43 days ago. Passed over. Two modest maiden runs this year, eligible for a mark after today.

LTO Selection:

UNLESS has been a frustrating sort to follow but may finally get her turn. The impeccably bred daughter of Justify out of the Group 1 winner Clemmie has filled the runner-up spot on all three outings this year and had three of these rivals well behind when fitted with blinkers over C&D earlier this month. Sweetest Rose also has plenty of experience filling the runner-up spot on her latest three starts including when reappearing at Limerick last month and Ger Lyons now fits blinkers on the Dark Angel filly. Lan Cinnte went close at Navan last autumn and could be suited by this step up to a mile while Persian Jewel should progress from her debut last month. Hotaugustnight and Rival Queen are two newcomers to note.

UNLESS ran another solid race when beaten only by another good prospect in a C&D maiden 2 weeks ago and a repeat should see Aidan O'Brien's filly firmly in the mix once more. Lan Cinnte, on return to action, and Sweetest Rose head up the dangers, with Persian Jewel and newcomer Rival Queen a couple of others worth a look.

Although she's had plenty of chances, it may pay to stick with UNLESS, although the less exposed Persian Jewel could prove a threat

1	4 1st (4) (0.67/1 +19%) Pinafore		0.67 0.67/1(+19%)																															(4) Pinafore 0.67/1, Promising individual. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 31 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Likely to improve and one to be interested in again. AW winner at two; ran well in a hot race on handicap debut last month; strong claims.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +72%) International Girl		4.5 4.5/1(+72%)																															(1) International Girl 4.5/1, Won at York and Pontefract last season but ended the year with a below-par effort, in first-time tongue tie when seventh of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 50/1) in November. Needs to get back on track on her return. Won two 6f handicaps last season & still feasibly weighted; contender on good or faster.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 -38%) Coco Jamboo		5.5 5.5/1(-38%)																															(3) Coco Jamboo 5.5/1, Winner at Newmarket in September. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 6/4) 55 days ago. Two fair runs at Wolverhampton in March; drop to 6f needs to prompt extra though.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -144%) Song Of Success		11 11/1(-144%)																															(5) Song Of Success 11/1, Built on a promising debut when making all over 6f at Windsor last month. Not up to Group 3 company at Salisbury since but bounced back when close fourth of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW, 11/2), running on. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hughes. Respected. 6f turf winner for R Hughes last summer; sold 42,000gns in October; has untapped potential.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 -29%) Ey Up It's Maggie		11 11/1(-29%)																															(2) Ey Up It's Maggie 11/1, Latest win at Doncaster in April. 4/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Chance on old form. Won well on her reappearance (5f, soft) but not kicked on since; 0-9 over 6f.

LTO Selection:

---

PINAFORE made an encouraging return when fourth on her handicap debut at Newmarket last month and she looks to have a race of this nature within her capabilities. Coco Jamboo arrives here on the back of two solid efforts in defeat over 7f at Wolverhampton in March and she can be expected to remain competitive down in trip. Song Of Success could have more to offer this season and completes the shortlist.

The progressive PINAFORE shaped very well when fourth on her handicap bow/return at Newmarket last month, ridden much more prominently than the trio that beat her, and she remains of strong interest. Song of Success was a close fourth on her nursery bow at Lingfield on her final start and is feared most starting out for James Fanshawe.

There is more to come from Song Of Success this year but PINAFORE (nap) can confirm the promise of her reappearance fourth.

1	8 1st (8) (11/1 +21%) Steel Wave		11 11/1(+21%)																															(8) Steel Wave 11/1, C&D winner who posted a respectable third of 7 in handicap chase at Doncaster (24f, good) 163 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Unreliable type overall, however. A teenager now but has won over C&D and returns from a break on a good mark.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -43%) Herewegohoney		5 5/1(-43%)																															(3) Herewegohoney 5/1, Made a winning chase debut at Catterick in November but pulled up in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) 145 days ago. Enters calculations if back on song after a break. Off since poor run in December but this point/hurdle/chase winner still has potential.
3	4 3rd (4) (4.5/1 -50%) Joly Maker		4.5 4.5/1(-50%)																															(4) Joly Maker 4.5/1, Reliable sort who scored at Stratford (19.4f) before fair Southwell fifth later in April. Strong traveller who can't be discounted off a 1 lb lower mark. Finished well to cause 25-1 surprise here on heavy ground last month, his sixth chase win.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +69%) Ratfacemcdougall		5 5/1(+69%)																															(7) Ratfacemcdougall 5/1, Racked up 5 wins over hurdles in 2020/21 season but has largely struggled to make an impact since. Mark continues to fall but others are preferred. Out of form over hurdles and his chasing record in 2019 was not convincing.
1	1 |F| (1) (1.2/1 +56%) Sheldon		1.2 1.2/1(+56%)																															(1) Sheldon 1.2/1, Bagged his second chase win at Exeter on New Year's Day and in good nick since, sticking to his task despite a few mistakes when third at Kempton 27 days ago. Very much one to consider eased 1 lb. Won here in the autumn and returns after a perfectly respectable run last month.
5	5 |PU| (5) (22/1 -120%) Hunting Percival		22 22/1(-120%)																															(5) Hunting Percival 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when well-held fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f) 12 months ago on his final run for Tom Lacey. Runner-up in a point in March so he's not ruled out on yard/handicap chase debut. Second in a point in March but has a lot more on his plate on this stable/chase debut.

LTO Selection:

Herewegohoney has the ability to figure strongly and could well bounce back after a rare below-par effort when she was pulled up a Wetherby on her latest outing in December. She won a three-runner novices' handicap off this mark on her penultimate start and is open to further progress. However, SHELDON, a previous course winner, looks a shade more attractive and is taken to make the most of the drop in class today. Ratfacemcdougall is also considered.

SHELDON is proving a reliable sort and weighted to bag a third win in this sphere racing off a 1 lb lower mark than when a good recent third in a stronger contest at Kempton. The consistent Joly Maker is next on the list ahead of Herewegohoney, who could also have a big say if freshened up after a break.

This looks a good opportunity for SHELDON (nap), who drops in grade after a very respectable third in 0-135 company last month.

1	7 1st (7) (6/1 +25%) Fort Vega		6 6/1(+25%)																															(7) Fort Vega 6/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 15-runner maiden (10/3) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, well positioned. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Looked to be crying out for this trip when winning at Gowran; holds fancy entries.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.75/1 +30%) Broadhurst		1.75 1.75/1(+30%)																															(1) Broadhurst 1.75/1, Promising individual. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 10-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f, 11/8) 40 days ago, forging clear. Step up to 1m promises to suit now handicapping and he's one to consider. Ran away with Dundalk maiden last month; could have more to offer on this ground.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 +52%) Betterdaysrcoming		16 16/1(+52%)																															(5) Betterdaysrcoming 16/1, Course winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 49 days ago. Others more persuasive. Will relish the return to better ground but others may have more scope for improvement.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 -17%) Mere Accountant		7 7/1(-17%)																															(10) Mere Accountant 7/1, Promising type who got off the mark at the second attempt in a Dundalk maiden (7f) in November. Encouraging return to action when third of 11 in handicap at Cork (1m) 16 days ago and she's another open to further improvement. On a competitive mark and better ground should suit so definite player if settling better.
5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 -17%) Sea Chariot		14 14/1(-17%)																															(8) Sea Chariot 14/1, Twice-raced winner. Won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (7f, 10/3) 58 days ago, driven out. Gelded ahead of handicap debut and highly likely there's more to come. Dundalk winner not certain to appreciate return to this trip so could be vulnerable.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 +9%) National Emblem		5 5/1(+9%)																															(6) National Emblem 5/1, Promising individual. 7/2, cosy winner of 11-runner maiden at Gowran (7f, good) in August. That race has worked out well and he's high on the shortlist now handicapping on return to action. Gowran 2yo win working out really well; trip likely his limit.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 +0%) Kalikapour		10 10/1(+0%)																															(4) Kalikapour 10/1, Lope De Vega colt. Well backed and left debut form behind when off the mark at second attempt in a Dundalk maiden (1m) back in December. Open to further improvement now handicapping on return. Dundalk win looks good; potentially smart handicapper although may want further in time.
8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 +10%) Spirit Genie		18 18/1(+10%)																															(2) Spirit Genie 18/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 13/2) 27 days ago, weakening over 1f out. That was his first start for 7 months and he may be sharper here with a tongue tie refitted. Back on better ground to suit but Foley seemingly prefers National Emblem.
9th	11 9th (11) (28/1 -12%) Long Count		28 28/1(-12%)																															(11) Long Count 28/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (1m) 32 days ago, ridden approaching 2f out and one paced. Remains early days in handicaps but he may be vulnerable to one or two here. Others look better handicapped and possible ground concerns.
10th	3 10th (3) (22/1 -120%) Amazing Show		22 22/1(-120%)																															(3) Amazing Show 22/1, Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Down Royal maiden (7f) last July. Never figured in Group 1 Moyglare on final start at the Curragh (7f) in September but this rates more suitable on return to action. Moyglare also-ran could have more to offer now her sights have been lowered.
11th	9 11th (9) (14/1 -17%) Encosta		14 14/1(-17%)																															(9) Encosta 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, creditable fourth of 14 in minor event at this course (7f, heavy). Off 7 months. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress, particularly with this longer trip expected to suit. Juvenile form at 7f, slight reservations about this trip on seasonal return.

LTO Selection:

NATIONAL EMBLEM took a nice step up from his debut at the Curragh last summer when prominent throughout to take a seven-furlong maiden at Gowran Park beating Lord Massusus and Mister Mister. That pair are now rated 106 and 97 respectively so you would have to think that the selection starts handicap life here on a reasonable mark. Down Royal maiden winner Amazing Show takes a big drop in class after running in the Moyglare Stud Stakes last time, while Fort Vega finished well to land a Gowran maiden earlier this month. He should appreciate the extra furlong but would also be suited by a little ease in the ground. Broadhurst was unsuited by testing ground when reappearing at the Curragh but opened his account in no uncertain fashion at Dundalk last month. Mere Accountant is another to consider.

A strong-looking 3-y-o handicap with the vote in favour of Jessica Harrington's NATIONAL EMBLEM. He was a cosy winner on his second start in maidens last summer, and that form has been boosted subsequently, so he looks sure to progress further now his sights are set on handicaps. Broadhurst, on the back of his Dundalk success 6 weeks ago, Mere Accountant and Kalikapour head up the dangers.

Competitive and preference is for NATIONAL EMBLEM, whose maiden win has worked out really well and has his ground

1	4 1st (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Showmedemoney		5.5 5.5/1(+8%)																															(4) Showmedemoney 5.5/1, Back to winning ways at Newcastle (8f) in February but not really built on that and is tried over a longer trip now. Last four starts suggest that the handicapper has his measure at present; each-way player..
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 -17%) Tele Red		7 7/1(-17%)																															(2) Tele Red 7/1, Dual winner over this sort of trip last term and arrives on back of respectable fifth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 15 days ago. Merits consideration. Dual 1m2f winner; step back in the right direction when dropped back to 1m latest; player..
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 +27%) Ghost Rider		8 8/1(+27%)																															(6) Ghost Rider 8/1, Not scored for some time and has been below form in a trio of outings for current connections. Returns from 6-month absence. Best form on a sound surface; sliding in the handicap; has run well fresh; revival needed..
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +45%) Light Up Our Stars		5.5 5.5/1(+45%)																															(3) Light Up Our Stars 5.5/1, Returned to form when third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 41 days ago. 2 lb below last winning mark and will be dangerous if building on that. Handy mark; step back in the right direction at Wolverhampton latest; not ruled out..
5th	10 5th (10) (7/1 +61%) Irv		7 7/1(+61%)																															(10) Irv 7/1, Ended lengthy losing run at Beverley (9.9f) last summer but form tailed off towards the end of the year and not seen since disappointing effort at Newcastle in January. Competitive mark for this return to turf but has yet to win when fresh..
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -12%) Sameem		28 28/1(-12%)																															(8) Sameem 28/1, Not successful since 2019 and largely disappointed last season. Been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper but likely best watched back from 7 months off here. C&D and Listed winner; well beaten when last seen and others make greater appeal..
7th	5 7th (5) (8.5/1 +29%) Dougies Dream		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(5) Dougies Dream 8.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Newcastle (8f) in March and ran to a similar level when creditable third of 6 in handicap at same course (10.2f) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not out of things. Dual AW and turf winner; inconsistent but best efforts would enable her to be competitive..
8th	9 8th (9) (3.33/1 +33%) Little Ted		3.33 3.33/1(+33%)																															(9) Little Ted 3.33/1, Not the most reliable but seems to reserve his best for this course (won here in 2021 and 2022) and has dropped to a handy mark. Warrants respect. Dual C&D winner on good; prominent racer; no surprise if he goes close again back here..
9th	11 9th (11) (7/1 +30%) Young Winston		7 7/1(+30%)																															(11) Young Winston 7/1, Sole success came at this course in 2021 and has come close a couple of times on AW this year. Fairly treated, back on turf, and can make presence felt. Competitive mark, as he showed last time out, but looks to be playing for places at best..

LTO Selection:

---

Runner-up on four of his last six starts, ISLE OF WOLVES deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion with conditions expected to be in his favour at a track that should suit. He is now 3lb below his last winning mark and that may be enough to see off the likes of Little Ted and Young Winston, who wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton last time out.

TELE RED is only 3 lb above his last winning mark and acquitted himself well over a shorter trip at Thirsk earlier this month. He gets the nod. Isle of Wolves and Little Ted head the list of dangers.

Preference is for LITTLE TED, whose style of racing suits the round course here. He's back up in trip and has conditions to suit.

1	3 1st (3) (2/1 +43%) Parade Away		2 2/1(+43%)																															(3) Parade Away 2/1, Shaped quite well on debut and duly built on that fitted with a tongue tie when second of 7 in bumper at Haydock (15.6f, good to firm) 8 days ago, clear of the rest. Looks the one to beat. Runner-up at Haydock last Saturday and leading form claims for last year's winning yard.
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Get The Value		6.5 6.5/1(-63%)																															(1) Get The Value 6.5/1, Getaway gelding who would probably have won but for greenness when third at Newton Abbot on debut in July. Matched that form when second at Warwick 2 months later and he's a big player if returning at that level. Promise on both starts last year and returns with trainer's horses running well.
5th	11 5th (11) (150/1 +25%) Persian Willow		150 150/1(+25%)																															(11) Persian Willow 150/1, Limited impact both starts. Down the field this spring on her first two starts and considerable improvement is needed.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -60%) Taghadoe		16 16/1(-60%)																															(9) Taghadoe 16/1, €15,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Here Comes Johny and bumper winner Emzara. Irish raider so worth a market check. Has travelled from Ireland to make his debut and he's one to be interested in.
8th	8 8th (8) (8.5/1 -89%) Renoir		8.5 8.5/1(-89%)																															(8) Renoir 8.5/1, Nathaniel gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners on Flat, including useful winner up to 1m Thrave. Dam 7f winner. Promsing start when third at Bangor last month despite being denied a clear run. Denied clear run when third at Bangor on debut and he's firmly in calculations.

LTO Selection:

PARADE AWAY seemed to get better the further he went in a similar race at Haydock on his latest start. The fitting of tongue-tie (retained today) might well have been the prompt for the improved effort and another step forward looks possible from the Milton Harris-trained gelding. Get The Value has also shown a lot of promise in two previous starts and is feared most, although King Of Tara is nicely-bred newcomer to consider.

PARADE AWAY was well clear of the rest when runner-up to a useful filly at Haydock last week and a repeat of that form may well be enough to see him go one place better. Get The Value is a definite threat on his return to action, while King of Tara and Sforza Castle are perhaps the pick of a reasonable bunch of newcomers.

Haydock runner-up Parade Away is a strong contender but preference is for RENOIR, who was a promising third at Bangor on debut.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +20%) Blues Emperor		2 2/1(+20%)																															(1) Blues Emperor 2/1, Matched best form, on return from 6 months off, when second of 14 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 6/1) 29 days ago. 1 lb rise fair and holds strong claims. Limerick comeback run was good but untried on ground this quick.
2	10 2nd (10) (14/1 -17%) Navagio		14 14/1(-17%)																															(10) Navagio 14/1, Seventeenth of 19 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more appealing. Disappointed latest; tongue tie now fitted and this more his sort of ground.
3	11 3rd (11) (6.5/1 +24%) Facethepuckout		6.5 6.5/1(+24%)																															(11) Facethepuckout 6.5/1, Won back-to-back handicaps (at up to 8.3f) in October and shaped well when third of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy, 14/1) on return 56 days ago. Respected. Solid seasonal return here in March; one to consider and Keane booking takes the eye.
3	13 3rd (13) (9/1 -125%) Independent Expert		9 9/1(-125%)																															(13) Independent Expert 9/1, Returned to form when creditable third of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and is one for the shortlist. Yet to really convince at this trip and probably wants easier ground.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -57%) Red Heel		22 22/1(-57%)																															(5) Red Heel 22/1, Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Fairyhouse (7f, good). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Michael Mulvany. Others more persuasive. Seasonal return for new yard and on a competitive mark with ground to suit.
6th	12 6th (12) (11/1 +31%) Rick Dalton		11 11/1(+31%)																															(12) Rick Dalton 11/1, 9/2, creditable eighth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft) 29 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discounted. Frustrating maiden now has blinkers tried; Keane deserts.
7th	8 7th (8) (10/1 +29%) Plume Noire		10 10/1(+29%)																															(8) Plume Noire 10/1, 20/1, respectable fourth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy). Off 7 months. Remains low mileage and warrants respect on return. Struggled in handicaps last year; still appears a bit too high in the handicap.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 +9%) Redstone Well		10 10/1(+9%)																															(9) Redstone Well 10/1, 13/2, good third of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f), suited by increase in trip. Off 165 days. Back down in trip. Can make presence felt. Ran well on AW over the winter so should handle this ground; not one to rule out.
9th	2 9th (2) (16/1 +11%) Belharra		16 16/1(+11%)																															(2) Belharra 16/1, First run since leaving Francois Rohaut when ninth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft, 17/2) on IRE debut 29 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Plenty to find with Blues Emperor on Limerick run but better ground should suit.
10th	4 10th (4) (12/1 -20%) Laughifuwant		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Laughifuwant 12/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, seventeenth of 19 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 14 days ago, not clear run. Chance on old form. Not the force of old and remains opposable, especially on this sort of ground.
11th	14 11th (14) (12/1 +45%) Ms Eagleton		12 12/1(+45%)																															(14) Ms Eagleton 12/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap at Punchestown (9f, good to soft, 15/2). Off 8 months. Fairly treated on return. Has her ground for seasonal return but others preferred.
12th	7 12th (7) (14/1 +13%) Comfort Line		14 14/1(+13%)																															(7) Comfort Line 14/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (8f, soft) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Work to do. Unsuitable ground so far this year; potential improver back on favoured surface.
13th	3 13th (3) (33/1 +34%) Flaming Moon		33 33/1(+34%)																															(3) Flaming Moon 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 18/1 and hood on for 1st time in this code, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (8f, soft) 29 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Dropped away tamely on Flat return at Limerick last month; hard to fancy.

BLUES EMPEROR won a Listowel maiden over a mile last year and ran a cracker on his reappearance when beating all bar the progressive Dunum at Limerick. The Johnny Murtagh-trained gelding has only faced soft ground on the turf and could be open to further improvement on this surface. Red Heel won five times for Mick Mulvany including over this trip at the Curragh last summer and has now joined Willie McCreery, although riding arrangements suggest Belharra may be preferred of the Curragh trainer's pair. The latter won five times in France and was probably unsuited by the soft ground on her Irish debut. Comfort Line was also trained by Mick Mulvany when winning over a mile at Navan last summer and has dropped back down in the ratings after racing on soft ground so far this year.

Preference is for BLUES EMPEROR, who made an encouraging reappearance at Limerick last month and remains low mileage. Facethepuckout and Independent Expert head the list of dangers.

Very open and a tentative selection is FACETHEPUCKOUT with Colin Keane taking over

No forlorn hope for her in-form yard. Ran well on nursery debut in September but less good in two runs this year.
3	12 3rd (12) (8/1 +33%) Yorkstone		8 8/1(+33%)																															(12) Yorkstone 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fifth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 11/1) 23 days ago. Needs another step forward at these weights, though. Looked to find 7f on slow ground too far on handicap debut; capable of better.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 -14%) Mrs Trump		25 25/1(-14%)																															(8) Mrs Trump 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 50/1) 47 days ago. Can give a good account if building on that run. Didn't progress after a good start for R Fahey; fair stable debut last month; more needed.
5th	13 5th (13) (10/1 -11%) Stormy Pearl		10 10/1(-11%)																															(13) Stormy Pearl 10/1, 14/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 41 days ago. Needs considering. On her winning mark but more exposed than most and others look stronger.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.33/1 -21%) Highfield Viking		3.33 3.33/1(-21%)																															(4) Highfield Viking 3.33/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 22 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards nudged up just 2 lb. Stayed on dourly to win on last month's h'cap debut (6f, soft); bred to carry on improving.
7th	10 7th (10) (25/1 +24%) Garifullina		25 25/1(+24%)																															(10) Garifullina 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, fourth of 15 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Better effort at Redcar 17 days ago; moves into handicaps with some potential.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 +0%) Katar		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Katar 10/1, Below form sixth of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 10/1) 23 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Fair AW form over the winter; struggled since being gelded in January; new headgear today.
9th	3 9th (3) (4/1 +0%) Jack Of Clubs		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Jack Of Clubs 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden.

This can go the way of STORMY PEARL, who ran encouragingly on her return at Redcar last month in a contest that has produced several winners subsequently. Rebecca Menzies' charge likes to be prominent and is drawn well in stall three, where she could take some catching. Well-bred Doncaster winner Highfield Viking can follow her home, along with Jack Of Clubs for the in-form Michael Dods team.

HIGHFIELD VIKING took a step forward when scoring at Doncaster and is weighted to go close once again off just a 2 lb higher mark. Jack of Clubs is feared most if, as expected, building on his recent Thirsk fourth. Pontefract-third Hardy Angel is another who is in the picture along with Stormy Pearl and Lukla.

Jack Of Clubs and Highfield Viking are respected but HARDY ANGEL can confirm the promise of his latest Pontefract third.

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.
