The Gordon Elliott-trained OMNISCIENT should prove difficult to beat. A dual winner on the Flat when trained in Britain, the five-year-old has shaped with distinct promise on both starts over hurdles to date. The form of his Fairyhouse fourth received a boost at the weekend when the fifth placed horse easily landed her maiden. His latest Naas third was also franked in that the winner would almost certainly have won a competitive handicap next time but for unseating at the last. Hurdling debutant Mywayofthinkin lacks experience but was runner-up in two bumper starts, so clearly has ability. Thurles second Clonshire River should also be competitive.

OMNISCIENT has some useful form to his name on the Flat and looks ready to open his account in this sphere on the back of a good third in a big-field Naas novice last time out. Thurles runner-up Clonshire River could emerge as the main danger ahead of newcomers Mywayofthinkin and Nevereverever.

After finishing second in two good bumpers and being well related, MYWAYOFTHINKIN looks a nice prospect.

Info	Form	Odds

15	15 (15) (250/1 -25%) Lucy Rocco	250 250/1(-25%)	(15) Lucy Rocco 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 150/1 and hooded, pulled up in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 6 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Also hooded for debut at Tipperary where she was 150-1 and finished tailed off.
1	1 1st (1) (4/5 -40%) Belloccio	0.8 4/5(-40%)	(1) Belloccio 4/5, Smart performer on Flat, last seen when 5¾ lengths third of 4 in listed race at Kempton (12f). Off 6 months. Since joined Willie Mullins and is of obvious interest on NH debut. Tongue strap on for first time. 1m4f Listed winner in 2022; bought for 60,000 euros and has to be of interest.
2	9 2nd (9) (28/1 +15%) Starcrossed Lover	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Starcrossed Lover 28/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Pillar Coral gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Bumble Bee Bet. 20,000 euros 3yo; third foal; half-brother to bumper winner Bumble Bee Bet.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/2 -38%) Martinstown	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(7) Martinstown 11/2, Below par on Flat when last seen in November but is capable of useful form on the level and warrants plenty of respect on hurdles debut for new yard. Reached a useful level for Aidan O'Brien and he should make a hurdler.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -25%) Bold Brook	25 25/1(-25%)	(3) Bold Brook 25/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 33/1) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Each-way claims. Improved for cheekpieces when sixth in a Downpatrick maiden but this looks stronger.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 +25%) Jhentong Enki	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(5) Jhentong Enki 9/2, Promising individual. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 8 in bumper (9/2) at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Remains open to improvement back in this sphere and drop in trip looks a good move. Ran well in two maiden hurdles last year and showed similar form in a bumper last time.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/1 +21%) Bodybuilder	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) Bodybuilder 11/1, £32,500 5-y-o, Nutan gelding. Half-brother to Flat winner abroad Bahamian Indy. Dam unraced. Point winner last year. Market check advised on Rules debut. Bought for £32,500 after winning a British point and should have a future under rules.
7th	6 7th (6) (125/1 -25%) Leabaland	125 125/1(-25%)	(6) Leabaland 125/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 7/1, fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 38 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Well held on last hurdle run. Flat winner but stamina looked an issue when previously seen over hurdles.
8th	4 8th (4) (125/1 -25%) Highland King	125 125/1(-25%)	(4) Highland King 125/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 11f on flat. Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft) 32 days ago. Modest Flat winner who finished well held in a Ballinrobe maiden a month ago (80-1).
9th	17 9th (17) (50/1 -52%) Ol Man Dingle	50 50/1(-52%)	(17) Ol Man Dingle 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/2, last of 7 in bumper at Naas (16f, soft) on NH debut 47 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. RESERVE. Point run reads well but he then finished last in a bumper at Naas.
10th	13 10th (13) (10/1 +38%) Mortimer Duke	10 10/1(+38%)	(13) Mortimer Duke 10/1, Nathaniel gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 5f/6f winner Liberty Bay. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Worth a second look in the market on NH debut. Only 7-2 before misbehaving and being withdrawn at Kilbeggan last Friday.
11th	14 11th (14) (80/1 +47%) Zero Fighter	80 80/1(+47%)	(14) Zero Fighter 80/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Modest winner at 7f on flat. 40/1, fifteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Finished a 14l fourth in a Bellewstown maiden hurdle but fared less well at Down Royal.
12th	12 12th (12) (150/1 +0%) Jim's Cracker	150 150/1(+0%)	(12) Jim's Cracker 150/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. Ninth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Dundalk (12f). Off 6 months. Twice runner-up on the Flat but 0-11 and fairly limited; unlikely to be the answer to this.
13th	10 13th (10) (12/1 +25%) Wepushourlucksofar	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) Wepushourlucksofar 12/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Tramore (21.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 30 days ago. Down in trip. Likely capable of better. Winning pointer and his fourth at Tramore was a positive start over hurdles.
14th	16 14th (16) (250/1 -25%) Starita	250 250/1(-25%)	(16) Starita 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (18f, good to soft, 125/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving David Harry Kelly. Beaten a distance in two maidens for a different trainer; best watched for now.
18	18 \|PU\| (18) (150/1 -127%) Yourenotthebossame	150 150/1(-127%)	(18) Yourenotthebossame 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, heavy) on hurdles bow, tailed off when pulled up before 5 out. Off 7 months. Down in trip. RESERVE. Reserve; tailed off in a bumper before pulling up on hurdling debut at Tramore when 125-1.

It is difficult to see past the Willie Mullins-trained hurdling debutant BELLOCCIO on his first start in this country. A 105-rated Listed horse on the level, the six-year-old should have far too much class for these rivals if jumping adequately. It would be no surprise to see the son of Belardo run up a sequence over the summer. Former UK point-to-point winner Bodybuilder also makes his hurdling here in this contest. Now in the care of Gordon Elliott, the gelding will almost certainly need further in time. However, he still commands respect on this introduction to these shores. With the Paul Nolan string in great form at present, Jhentong Enki is another worthy of consideration.

Smart Flat performer BELLOCCIO will be a tough nut to crack if taking to this discipine for his new yard. Jhentong Enki and Martinstown are also of interest.

Martinstown did win for Aidan O'Brien but BELLOCCIO was the superior Flat horse.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (22/1 -120%) Silky Robin	22 22/1(-120%)	(6) Silky Robin 22/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 8/1, third of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f), well positioned. Off 157 days. Not out of things. Ability on the AW; makes turf debut after five months off; may again find a few too good.
1	1 (1) (22/1 +45%) Bateman	22 22/1(+45%)	(1) Bateman 22/1, First run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when fifth of 6 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/1) 24 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Likely best watched on debut for new yard. Makes his debut for his third different yard; looks one for handicaps over further.
1	4 1st (4) (Evens +17%) General Assembly	0 Evens(+17%)	(4) General Assembly Evens, Much improved in a couple of starts for George Boughey, latest when close third of 8 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 34 days ago. The one to beat. Has run well in both starts on the AW for this yard; latest form has worked out very well.
2	2 2nd (2) (22/1 +12%) Duran	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Duran 22/1, Twice-raced gelding. Third of 12 in minor event (125/1) at this course (6.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago, slowly away. Improvement required. Finished third here ten days ago, albeit well behind the winner; drop in trip not ideal.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 +0%) Fahrenheit Seven	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(3) Fahrenheit Seven 13/2, Posted fair form in both starts thus far, latest when fourth of 7 in minor event at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Has shown ability in both starts over this trip; shortlisted in this field.
4	7 4th (7) (13/8 +7%) Felicity	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(7) Felicity 13/8, 70,000 gns yearling, 350,000 gns 2-y-o, Blue Point filly. Dam French 5f/6f winner (including at 2 yrs) out of winning half-sister to King's Stand Stakes winner Prohibit. Interesting newcomer. Bred for speed; market support on debut for her top stable would be highly significant.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 +50%) Midnight Missile	33 33/1(+50%)	(5) Midnight Missile 33/1, Once-raced gelding. Sixth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.3f, good, 100/1) on debut 11 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly down in trip. Likely a longer-term prospect. Well beaten on his debut over 1m here; plenty to prove on this big drop in trip.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY finished a close-up third over 6f at Kempton on his latest outing and has been given a rating of 80 after that display. If the son of Starspangledbanner can settle better down in trip with William Buick booked, he could be the one to beat. Duran outran his big odds to reach the frame on his return from a year off the track over 6f here last time and he has to be respected with the likelihood of more to come, while any market confidence behind newcomer Felicity would also be interesting.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY has come close in both outings for his new yard and can deservedly open his account. Fahrenheit Seven look the likeliest danger on form whilst market strength behind newcomer Felicity could prove significant.

Newcomer Felicity is respected, but the vote goes to GENERAL ASSEMBLY whose latest Kempton third has worked out so well.

14:20 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (5/1 +0%) Street Parade	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Street Parade 5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 22/1) 12 days ago, staying on final 1f. Enters calculations. Ran encouragingly in C&D event on seasonal debut; won off 9lb higher here in 2022.
1	1 1st (1) (11/4 +17%) Jacquelina	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(1) Jacquelina 11/4, Won 10-runner handicap (14/1) at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 15 days ago, closed down final 1f and all out to hold on. Nudged up 2 lb and likely she can remain competitive. All out at Windsor last time; record suggests she's not an obvious type to follow up.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/8 +66%) Anglesey Lad	1.375 11/8(+66%)	(6) Anglesey Lad 11/8, 4/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, heavy) 15 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he's another in with a shout dropping down to the minimum trip. Has encouraging form; possibilities provided he takes well to first-time headgear.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -14%) Suanni	8 8/1(-14%)	(2) Suanni 8/1, Latest win at Lingfield (5f) in April. Sixth of 7 in handicap (16/5) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 41 days ago, hassled for the lead and weakening over 2f out. Won on turf in 2021 but his subsequent record in this sphere is unconvincing.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 -29%) I'm Mable	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(5) I'm Mable 9/2, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago. Not out of things operating 10 lb below last successful mark. Won off 10lb higher over C&D last June; respectable third back here 12 days ago.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -13%) Darcy's Rock	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Darcy's Rock 18/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Last of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 50/1). Off 158 days. First run for yard after leaving J. J. Lambe. Tongue strap on 1st time and the betting may prove a useful guide. Fitted with tongue-tie on debut for another new yard; heed the market signals.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 -14%) Arzaak	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Arzaak 16/1, C&D winner. Forty one runs since last win in 2020. Fourth of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f, 13/2) 68 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Close third in this race last year; losing spell goes back to 2020.

This is a wide-open handicap to kick the card off, but marginal preference is for I'M MABLE. Michael Attwater's six-year-old won over C&D off a 10lb higher mark in June last year and looked unlucky when finishing third here 12 days ago. Off an unchanged mark of 47, she looks the one to beat. Street Parade might turn out to be the main danger, having finished a place in front of the selection when second here last time out and has leading claims. The Charlie Wallis-trained Arzaak, who will be ridden by Hollie Doyle, could also pose a threat.

This looks likely to be run at a good clip which can play to the strengths of STREET PARADE. Michael Attwater's 8-y-o ran well on the back of 8 months off when runner-up over C&D 12 days ago and he's on a handy mark if building on that now. 3-y-o Anglesey Lad and Windsor scorer Jacquelina are others to consider. I'm Mable isn't out of things either.

Well-treated C&D winners I'M MABLE and Street Parade ran encouragingly here 12 days ago and hold solid claims.

Ninth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Dundalk (10.7f), going off too hard. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle run. RESERVE. Reserve; Flat winner; this ground should help on belated return to hurdling.
13	13 (13) (40/1 +0%) The Cooleen	40 40/1(+0%)	(13) The Cooleen 40/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 22/1). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving J. P. Flavin. Only had six races but three of those were heavy defeats in handicaps; has to step up.

Below form on last hurdle outing. Can make presence felt, if she makes the cut. RESERVE. Fair AW runs this year and she has placed in handicap hurdles.

Down in trip. Expected to be bang there. Bit underwhelming back over hurdles last time but he won well over fences before then.

Third at Down Royal on his reappearance last month, the Paul Flynn-trained SCOTT LANG followed that run with a highly creditable fourth on the level last time. Dropping back to the minimum trip could well suit the seven-year-old, who tends to race prominently. Although yet to win from seven starts over hurdles, he looks fairly handicapped in this code. Son Of Hypnos won over fences at Downpatrick last month before running below-par when reverting to hurdles at that same track next time. The Kevin Smith-trained gelding has to be given another chance here in what looks an ordinary race despite the numbers. In For The Night can also get involved after his recent return at Ballinrobe.

SON OF HYPNOS ran out of petrol over 2¾m at Downpatrick recently but much better is expected back down in trip here. Indeed, the 7-y-o proved his wellbeing when scoring over fences back from a break at the same course last month and he remains feasibly treated. Got To Fly has claims judged on her peak form and she is just about feared most ahead of Edge of My Seat and Sayitfirst, while Springboard will probably leave the form of his efforts in maiden hurdles well behind now handicapping.

A chance is taken on CONTAINER MADNESS who hinted at improvement on his handicap debut.

Placed both starts on turf at Newmarket last season and he's the one to beat. Just beaten at Newmarket last autumn; not disgraced on Kempton return; sets the standard.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 +46%) Fayqa	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(8) Fayqa 7/2, Promising sort. 11/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good) on debut 20 days ago.

Another who may be seen in a better light in handicaps later on. Seventh in both starts on the AW last month; handicaps over further may be more his thing.

Likely type from a top yard and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say. Half-brother to five winners; market support on debut would be significant.

Half-brother to 7f winner Mr Kodi and useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Glounthaune. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 9.5f-11f winner Motamarris. One to note in the betting. Nice pedigree and well worth monitoring in the market.

A rating of 90 may overestimate Native Warrior's ability after his below-par fourth at Kempton on his return to the fray last month, so he can be taken on with FIELD OF PLENTY. The son of Inns Of Court changed hands for 105,000gns and is a half-brother to Glounthaune, who struck at Group 3 level, so he could make an impression on his debut. Far Lane is another newcomer that needs to be monitored in the betting.

FAR LANE ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and confidence behind this Cracksman colt in the betting would look highly significant. He is taken to make a winning start to his career, perhaps at the chief expense of Fayqa, who showed clear promise despite landing a meaningful blow on her introduction at Ascot. Native Warrior is a strong candidate but there's an air of vulnerability about him. Field of Plenty is another newcomer to note in the betting.

This can go to NATIVE WARRIOR who sets a fair standard, including when fourth behind Notable Speech at Kempton last month.

There was plenty to like about the way COGSWORTH opened his account over 7f at Chelmsford 19 days ago, and a 4lb rise in the handicap should not prove to be a hindrance to his outstanding credentials, with Silvestre De Sousa retained to ride. Gary and Josh Moore have been in good form recently and their handicap debutant Red Cloud could be worth a second look. Take Care may do best of the remainder.

COGSWORTH was having just his second start at this trip when scoring at Chelmsford earlier this month and remains fairly treated. He can follow up. Krysdanjord and Dancing The Dream can also make their presence felt.

On current form COGSWORTH (nap) holds the best chance, followed by Krysdanjord. Dancing The Dream completes the shortlist.

Having twice reached the frame in similar races here last season, Gordon Elliott's LIGHTKEEPER can finally make the breakthrough. The six-year-old was unquestionably disappointing at Navan on his final start but prior to that had run well in competitive maidens all winter and he looks the most likely winner if bouncing back. Camino Rock boasts an almost identical profile in that he too had been running well all year before failing to get involved last time. The Mouse Morris-trained gelding also has placed form at this venue. Fenway Park also holds strong claims on the strength of his fourth-placed finish at the festival here earlier this month.

FENWAY PARK got back on track here earlier this month and will appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. He can open his account. Camino Rock and Lightkeeper rate the principal dangers.

Preference is for FENWAY PARK who had an excuse when pulled up two starts back and he ran well on either side of that.

MUTAAWID makes plenty of appeal on his pedigree as a full-brother to Group 1 winner Mostahdaf and it would be no surprise to see him make an impact on his debut for the John and Thady Gosden team. The main danger might be Battle Queen, who brings solid form to the table after filling the runner-up spot at Southwell last month and she should go well, while Zoffandia would be of interest if the market spoke in his favour.

MUTAWID hails from an excellent family so this son of Frankel is taken to go in at the first time of asking for the in-form Gosden team. Battle Queen rates much the pick of those with experience and is a major threat with debutant Zoffandia another highly respected, epecially if the market vibes are positive.

This can go to the newcomer MUTAAWID, a brother to the stable's high-class Mostahdaf and a half-brother to another Group 1 winner.

Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 22 days ago, well positioned. Should remain competitive.

3	1 3rd (1) (13/2 -117%) Uncle Dick	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(1) Uncle Dick 13/2, Bounced back to form when winning 8-runner handicap (5/2) at this course (8f, good) 20 days ago by short head from Otago. 2 lb rise fair but this drop back in trip isn't sure to suit. Has an impressive record over 1m at Brighton; not crying out for this return to 7f.

5th	7 5th (7) (25/1 +0%) Marayel	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Marayel 25/1, Fair maiden. 25/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Leicester (7f, soft). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Shaun Lycett. Far from solid in terms of form; market can guide on debut for another new yard.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -127%) Impeach	50 50/1(-127%)	(2) Impeach 50/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 11/1, probably needed the run after 3 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Modest effort over 6f here 12 days ago, taking turf record to 0-10.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 -14%) Rabinal	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Rabinal 16/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March but never involved after blowing the start back there (7f, AW, 13/2) 19 days ago. Has lost his form on AW; won on turf in Germany and is unexposed in this sphere.
8th	3 8th (3) (9/2 -13%) Otago	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Otago 9/2, 3-time C&D winner. 4/1, good short-head second of 8 to Uncle Dick in handicap at this course (8f, good) 20 days ago. Shortlist material. Three-time C&D winner; nabbed on the line by Uncle Dick over 1m here last time; respected.

Despite all of his wins here coming over 7f, five-time course winner UNCLE DICK could be hard to beat. The top-weight did very well to snatch victory off Otago in the final stride here 20 days ago, having come from further back than ideal, and should be in the shake-up off only a 2lb higher mark. The latter does renew rivalry with the former on better terms, though, and must be respected. Hitched is returning from a 213-day absence but scored at Wolverhampton off 2lb lower when last seen and is worth a second look.

OTAGO ran better than for a while when collared on the line by Uncle Dick here earlier in the month and, with the drop back in trip likely to suit him better than his old rival, he's selected to reverse the form and come out on top. Hitched was steadily progressive last year and could have more to offer in 2024, while Dion Baker ought to remain competitive.

Last year's winner DIAMOND COTTAGE is preferred. Otago is second choice.

5th	10 5th (10) (9/2 -29%) Benjis Benefit	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(10) Benjis Benefit 9/2, Produced a career best on first run since leaving Emmet Mullins when winning 20-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft, 9/2) 15 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Much respected in follow-up bid up 7 lb. Runner-up last twice on good ground; should go well if seeing this trip out.

7th	3 7th (3) (20/1 -43%) Faux Fur	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Faux Fur 20/1, Winner of a Tramore maiden in October but handed a stiff-looking mark on the back of that and finished only tenth of 12 in a handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.5f, soft) on final outing. Absent since poor handicap debut effort in November; stiff mark still.

10th	2 10th (2) (20/1 +20%) Hereditary Rule	20 20/1(+20%)	(2) Hereditary Rule 20/1, 40/1, tenth of 17 in handicap chase at this course (20.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and has plenty to prove. Out of form chasing last season; back hurdling here and yard seem to be coming into form.
11th	5 11th (5) (33/1 -175%) Ragin Cajun	33 33/1(-175%)	(5) Ragin Cajun 33/1, Successful at Thurles in November but failed to repeat that effort at Fairyhouse the following month. Off since. Back from a break and quicker ground may not be ideal.

CLUB MANAGER can provide another winner for in-form trainer Gavin Cromwell. A stayer on the Flat when trained in the UK, the four-year-old did well to win his maiden hurdle at Bellewstown. However, the son of Nathaniel showed that he could be very well treated off a mark of 113, when staying on strongly in a better race than this one on handicap debut when fifth here earlier this month. With connections wisely opting to step up in trip, the gelding should be hard to beat. Benjis Benefit has had three different trainers in his last four runs but the six-year-old has been runner-up in two of those. He clearly has plenty of ability. Handicap debutant Dorans Law is another to consider.

BENJIS BENEFIT was much improved when landing a 20-runner handicap on his first start for his current yard at Down Royal 15 days ago (later awarded race having suffered interference run-in) and a 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. Club Manager wasn't ideally placed at this course on his most recent outing and remains capable of better, with Johngus heading up the remainder.

This step up in trip could well suit CLUB MANAGER although he'll have to jump better than at the festival

Equipped with a first-time visor and, unless the headgear sparks improvement, he'll probably come up short once again. Hasn't threatened on either run this year; first-time visor has to prompt something extra.
1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +83%) Liveandletlive	2.75 11/4(+83%)	(6) Liveandletlive 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 3/1) 39 days ago. However, he'll need to better that effort by some way in order to take this handicap. Only fifth on handicap debut but was sent off at just 3-1 and was struck into.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +50%) Great Chieftain	4 4/1(+50%)	(8) Great Chieftain 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, very good fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago, running on. Now tried in cheekpieces and gelded since latest start. One to consider. Fair fifth on handicap debut at Epsom; gelded since and could have more to offer.

A game winner of a maiden at Goodwood 17 days ago, WORRALS created the impression she has a bright future and can flourish now she steps into handicap company from a highly workable mark. Charming Whisper and Beauty Generation are couple of other promising types to consider, but Alvesta makes her handicap bow from a tempting rating and may be the one to give the selection most to think about here.

WORRALS is from a good family and this opening mark looks reasonable judged on her recent success in a Goodwood maiden. She is the most appealing candidate, with Great Chieftain nominated as the main danger and the likes of Beauty Generation, Phoenix Duchess and Yaajooz are others to consider from an each-way perspective.

There can be optimism that the attractively bred LIVEANDLETLIVE remains capable of better and he had an excuse on his handicap debut.

Marcus Tregoning boasts an impressive 37 per cent strike-rate here in the last five seasons, with seven winners from just 19 runners, and his only representative on today's card is ATALANTA BREEZE. This eight-year-old mare has an absence of 292 days to overcome, but she won off this mark over C&D on her return from a layoff in September 2022 and could be primed to run a big race. Bottom-weight Hurtle only found one too good off this mark at Bath six days ago and could make an impact. At the other end of the handicap, top-weight Sailing On should be thereabouts after returning with a good placed effort at Bath.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK was too free on his recent return at Lingfield and is fancied to bounce back in style and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Course-winner Hurtle can also have a say and is next on the list ahead of in-form duo Sailing On and Atalanta Breeze.

This looks the time to catch ATALANTA BREEZE. On recent form, Hurtle and Sailing On warrant respect.

Recent Tipperary fifth CHAMPAGNE SALOON has every chance of registering a first career success. The Sean Aherne-trained eight-year-old kept on nicely to run a big race in a stronger grade than he encounters here. Having only had the seven starts under rules, the gelding should be open to some improvement. Handicap debutant One Flew Eau Verte showed enough in just three maiden outings to suggest she has a future. Although lacking the experience of some of these rivals, Peter Fahey's mare could play a leading role. The former French trained Drum Roll catches the eye on her first handicap start and any market support would be of interest.

A wide-open contest in which it could pay to take a chance on CLANDARA. He didn't shape at all badly returning from a lengthy absence at Bellewstown 4 weeks ago and, still lightly raced, he may well be up to building on that run here. Likable Chancer, Champagne Saloon and Arthor are others to consider.

Ordinary fare but CHAMPAGNE SALOON shaped as if he was ready for this step up in trip at Tipperary last week and gets the nod

Super Superjack has won over 2m when fresh in the past and is an intriguing option on debut for a new yard. However, the 654-day absence is a concern and there is too much guesswork involved to put the seven-year-old forward as a confident selection. With that in mind, FOX VISION shades preference as a potential improver and, reunited with in-form Oisin Murphy, the son of New Approach can strike on just his second start over this trip. Trooper Bisdee and Seal Of Solomon can fight it out for the minor honours.

Sir Mark Prescott's TROOPER BISDEE enjoyed a fine 2023 and is fancied to return in style given he has a good record when fresh. Tenerife Sunshine didn't enjoy the rub of the greeen when fifth at Southwell last time out and is next on the list, with Fox Vision, Sarsons Risk and Seal Of Solomon also in the picture.

The vote goes to VALLEY OF FLOWERS who enjoyed a productive time of it last year and has proved that she can go well fresh

The Scott Dixon-trained THANKS DAD exceeded market expectations on his belated debut last month when finishing third over 7f at Chelmsford at 80/1 and confirmed that initial promise when going down narrowly in second over the same C&D 12 days later. With potentially more to offer on his turf debut, the four-year-old could have a major say in the outcome. Archie Watson's February Kempton winner Perfectly Timed and Marco Botti's Drink Dry are others to consider in what looks a tricky race.

DRINK DRY has been running well in Dubai over the winter and was only just denied in a maiden here last summer, so gets the vote. Thanks Dad stepped up on debut when only just failing at Chelmsford and is next best ahead of Masterofgreygoose, who made an eyecatching debut last month.

The pick at the weights is DRINK DRY. Second choice is Post Rider.

A winner over course and distance back in January, SILENT FLIGHT may be able to add to that here. The eight-year-old was subsequently raised 9lb but showed that mark may not be beyond him when third at Down Royal after. Back from a break, the gelding appears to have been found a nice opportunity to register a second career success. On My Bike has snippets of form that would give him a chance in a race of this nature. With Gavin Cromwell continuing to send out winners this may be the time to catch the six-year-old. Mrs Biddle made a pleasing handicap debut when third at Tramore. Granted normal improvement, the mare can make her presence felt.

SILENT FLIGHT backed up his C&D victory with a good run at Down Royal when last seen and gets the vote off the same mark. Warmer Days Ahead and Mrs Biddle are a couple of the other likely players.

Having made up good late ground over 2m at Naas last time WARMER DAYS AHEAD could be ready to strike now upped in trip

Switching to racing on turf can unlock further improvement from REYAADAH STAR, who broke her maiden with an emphatic seven-length success at Kempton at the start of this month. The daughter of New Approach could easily be underestimated from an opening mark of just 72 and has to be of high interest. Elladonna is notable now she is tried with a hood added for stepping back up in distance, while Invisible Friend is another taken seriously.

It's likely we haven't seen the best of CARPATHIAN, who found improvement when third on handicap debut at Kempton earlier this month. She can get off the mark. Reyaadah Star and Elladonna are feared most.

The unexposed XIOMARA may have more scope than these on her turf debut. Reyaadah Star has been progressing on AW.

POWERFUL NATION should benefit from his career debut over C&D recently and looks quite capable. He showed some signs of greenness pre-race but ran well when failing by a short-head to concede 4lb to the winner. Ballydoyle's Alfred Tennyson was a 220,000gns yearling purchase and boasts a top pedigree, with his grand-dam a winner of the Cheveley Park. He could be smart but meets an experienced selection. Shamrock Breeze was a 100,000-pound breeze-up purchase on April 24 and it is very encouraging to see her debut so soon.

A warm-looking maiden with POWERFUL NATION fancied to put his experience to use and come out on top. He sets a good standard on his narrow defeat here on debut and seems sure to improve. Flash The Cash and Alfred Tennyson are a couple of the more interesting newcomers.

While POWERFUL NATION did a lot wrong on his debut over C&D, he showed plenty of ability and should go one better.

1	5 1st (5) (13/2 -63%) Rivas Rob Roy	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(5) Rivas Rob Roy 13/2, Three-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last success in 2023. Respectable 1¾ lengths third of 7 to On The Nose in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/4) 21 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark and should make his presence felt. Back to form last time and his five course wins include this race last year; on shortlist.
2	6 2nd (6) (17/2 +15%) Bhubezi	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(6) Bhubezi 17/2, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, heavy) 15 days ago. Continues to edge down the weights and has run well here in the past, so all is not lost. On a long losing run and not running well this spring, but he seems to like it here.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 -60%) Mudlahhim	4 4/1(-60%)	(2) Mudlahhim 4/1, Very good second of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, good to soft, 5/1) 12 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Running well in defeat over 7f here of late and he may be okay now back up to 1m.
4	10 4th (10) (11/2 +31%) Kalama Sunrise	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(10) Kalama Sunrise 11/2, 10/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen 6 months ago. Others preferred. Lightly raced 4yo; signs of promise last September in first 2 handicaps; chance on return.
5th	11 5th (11) (9/1 +0%) Red Hot Rose	9 9/1(+0%)	(11) Red Hot Rose 9/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 16/1) 19 days ago. Back down in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Not beaten far last time but her form has been modest across her six starts.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 -25%) On The Nose	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) On The Nose 20/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap (28/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago. Her record is too hit-and-miss for comfort. Cheekpieces now discarded and blinkers refitted. Won over C&D last month and subsequent flop at Lingfield came just two days later.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -14%) Kenstone	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Kenstone 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 101 days and he's probably worth taking on. First run since February and he won at Chepstow last June after a break; not ruled out.
8th	8 8th (8) (9/2 +25%) Arlo's Sunshine	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(8) Arlo's Sunshine 9/2, Good ½-length second of 7 to On The Nose in handicap (16/5) at this C&D (good) 21 days ago, running on. Likely to be on the premises. On 16-race losing sequence but often runs well here; went close over C&D three weeks ago.
9th	3 9th (3) (50/1 -52%) Twilight Kiss	50 50/1(-52%)	(3) Twilight Kiss 50/1, Fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 16/1). 13-month absence to overcome and it's probably best to look elsewhere. 11-race maiden who appears for the first time since last April and may be best watched.
10th	1 10th (1) (16/1 -14%) Dolores Abernathy	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Dolores Abernathy 16/1, 28/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Likely to come up short once more, unless the first-time blinkers spark improvement. Lightly raced but soundly beaten in her three handicaps and a major turnaround is needed.
11th	4 11th (4) (12/1 +52%) La Rav	12 12/1(+52%)	(4) La Rav 12/1, 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 60 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. This distance is more suitable but he's opposable all the same. 10yo; unable to get competitive on his last few starts and needs to turn things around.

RIVAS ROB ROY has established himself as a Brighton specialist, with five course wins to his name, including three over today's distance. His penultimate victory here was off today's mark of 51 and he should be able to build on his recent C&D third. Arlo's Sunshine was ahead of him three weeks ago, though, when staying on strongly to finish a half-length second, and he has knocked on the door several times here to suggest a return to winnings ways could be imminent. Mudlahhim came within three-quarters of a length of victory when second over 7f here 12 days ago and, off an unchanged mark of 52, he could be an appealing alternative.

Having slipped below his last winning mark and knocking firmly on the door of late, MUDLAHHIM looks the way to go. He was beaten under a length by Voodoo Ray over 7f here recently and that rival boosted the form when going in again at Bath last week. Rivas Rob Roy could be the one to follow him home, with Bhubezi and Arlo's Sunshine also worth considering from an each-way perspective.

A chance is taken on BHUBEZI now back at Brighton, where he has recorded positive performances in the past.

Beaten less than a length when runner-up at Downpatrick last time, the John McConnell-trained DINOLAND can gain a deserved first victory under rules. Wearing blinkers for the first time, the gelding raced prominently throughout, keeping on strongly up the stiff hill. With connections opting to retain the headgear now, he should make another bold bid. Inchidaly Copper returns to the racecourse having landed a point-to-point at Dromahane last month. His 7lb conditional jockey is good value for that claim. Bearwithmenow, who ran well when fourth on his recent stable debut, can get involved here under Jody McGarvey.

HYPERSONIC MISSILE should have more to offer upped markedly in trip and could be the way to go over Dinoland and Fill The Tank.

The John McConnell yard is showing signs of a return to form and recent Downpatrick second DINOLAND (nap) is taken to go one better

In excellent hands though, so highly surprising were he not capable of better. Well-held fifth on his Windsor debut last month; improvement likely but it will be needed.
2	3 2nd (3) (33/1 -136%) French Mistress	33 33/1(-136%)	(3) French Mistress 33/1, Kingman filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner French Polish and smart 1m-1¼m winner Mohaafeth. Dam won both her starts at 1¼m/10.4f winner (likely to have stayed 1½m). Wears hood and interesting where she figures in the market on debut. Plenty to like on breeding and market support would be interesting; hood on.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -47%) Leicester Square	11 11/1(-47%)	(6) Leicester Square 11/1, 160,000 gns yearling, Masar gelding. Closely related to 11f winner Shazia and half-brother to several winners, including 9.5f/1¼m winner Shalamba and 11f-15f winner Shalakar, both useful. Dam French 1¼m/10.5f winner, won Prix de l'Opera. Interesting newcomer. Plenty to like on pedigree and one to monitor in the market.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 -33%) Las Ramblas	4 4/1(-33%)	(4) Las Ramblas 4/1, 250,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Well backed, made the perfect start when landing 11-runner Newcastle novice (1m) in February, coming from further back to run down one boasting experience. In excellent hands and sure to be suited by this step up to 1¼m. Player. Won narrowly on Newcastle debut in February; form not worked out so improvement needed.
5th	11 5th (11) (20/1 -150%) Anglepoise	20 20/1(-150%)	(11) Anglepoise 20/1, Zoustar filly who showed benefit of Kempton debut experience when third of 11 in a Windsor novice (1m, heavy) 2 weeks ago, no extra only last ½f. Well bred and in good hands, so very much the type to progress further. Improved from debut when third at Windsor last time; longer trip should suit.
6th	12 6th (12) (66/1 -164%) Implacable	66 66/1(-164%)	(12) Implacable 66/1, Churchill filly. Friendless in betting but displayed definite signs of ability when fifth of 11 in Wolverhampton novice (8.6f) back in November, progress home turn without being knocked about. Capable of better but handicaps could be more her thing in due course. Some promise when fifth on last November's Wolverhampton debut; may need a bit more time.
7th	5 7th (5) (6/4 +25%) Niigata	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(5) Niigata 6/4, 85,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 8-runner Chelmsford novice (10f) 3 weeks ago. Good chance he will have derived plenty from that effort and claims with progress anticipated. Overcame greenness to make a winning debut over 1m2f at Chelmsford; good chance.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 -56%) Saji	28 28/1(-56%)	(9) Saji 28/1, Invincible Spirit colt who was easy to back and looked badly in need of the experience when last of 11 in maiden at Kempton (1m) on debut 48 days ago. This should reveal more now stamina is tested further. Tailed-off on his Kempton debut; gelded since but others are more convincing.
9th	10 9th (10) (40/1 -82%) Sydney Seabreeze	40 40/1(-82%)	(10) Sydney Seabreeze 40/1, €125,000 yearling, Cloth of Stars colt. Half-brother to smart French 1m/9f winner Galova. Dam, placed at 7.5f-9f in France, half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Nicaron. Nice pedigree and the market may reveal what is expected on debut.
10th	1 10th (1) (66/1 +0%) Lesrico	66 66/1(+0%)	(1) Lesrico 66/1, Steele Tango gelding. Showed ability when fourth of 6 in novice event at Newcastle (1m) in March, staying on final 1f. Longer trip should suit here and he may do better but handicaps likely to be more his bag. Not disgraced on his Newcastle debut, but faces some promising 3yos; looks up against it.
11th	2 11th (2) (16/1 +36%) The Glen Rovers	16 16/1(+36%)	(2) The Glen Rovers 16/1, Dark Angel gelding who showed plenty of ability when second of 14 in a Lingfield bumper (2m) on sole start for T. J. Kent in November, collared dying strides. Should have a future in this sphere on that evidence. Went close in an AW bumper last November; bred for the Flat, but others still appeal more.
12th	8 12th (8) (40/1 -186%) Nogradi	40 40/1(-186%)	(8) Nogradi 40/1, $135,000 yearling, American Pharoah colt. Dam, 8.5f/9f winner in US (including Grade 1 QEII Challenge Cup), half-sister to smart US 7f-9f winner Liveyourbeastlife (Grade 2 runner-up on dirt). Interesting if the market speaks in his favour on racecourse bow. Pedigree makes him well worth a market check.

NIIGATA overcame inexperience to make a winning start to his career over this trip at Chelmsford earlier in the month and the manner of that victory suggested there might be a fair amount of improvement to come. Las Ramblas boasts a smart pedigree, being a half-brother to three-time Group 1 heroine Legatissimo, and lived up to it when getting up close home over 1m on debut at Newcastle in February. He commands plenty of respect, along with newcomer French Mistress and Anglepoise.

LAS RAMBLAS makes loads of appeal on paper and justified good support to make a winning debut at Newcastle in February, coming from further back to run down one boasting previous experience. Very much the type to improve, including now tackling this longer trip, he earns the vote on turf debut. Fellow debut winner Niigata for the Crisford yard is another to consider. Newcomer Leicester Square is worth keeping an eye on, with Anglepoise also expected to do better again.

Two of these won their only previous starts and NIIGATA is preferred to Las Ramblas as his success came over this trip.

1	3 1st (3) (28/1 -100%) Scorchio	28 28/1(-100%)	(3) Scorchio 28/1, Latest win at Dundalk in November. Fourth of 6 at Dundalk (5f, 11/2) following month. Off 158 days. More needed on return. Won two Dundalk nurseries over this trip last year; has to prove effectiveness on turf.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/8 +45%) Kendall Roy	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(7) Kendall Roy 11/8, 10/11, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at Thirsk (5f, heavy) 31 days ago. Another rise to overcome but 3-3 in handicaps/tongue tied and got to be respected. Rattled off a quick double in UK last month; could have more to give, so taken seriously.

Very good fourth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Naas (5.9f, good) 10 days ago, never nearer and unlucky. Big shout down in trip. Won a 6f Dundalk maiden before a luckless run in a Naas handicap; should have speed for 5f.

Seen to best effect there and walloped with a 13 lb rise. Improved form to win well from the front at Navan last time; this tougher off 13lb higher.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/1 -27%) Heavenly Being	7 7/1(-27%)	(6) Heavenly Being 7/1, Winner at Navan in October. Visored for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 22 days ago, too free. Cheekpieces on 1st time now. Close 3rd at Curragh over this trip but went too fast over 6f last time; back in trip now.

OHAILBHIC met trouble in-running when finishing strongly at Naas recently and appears nicely handicapped. He was a capable performer at Dundalk last winter and having been blocked in his run last time, the son of Exceed And Excel is now proven on turf and should progress. Branding is closely matched with the selection on a Dundalk maiden meeting last December but that was the selection's debut run. Michael O'Callaghan's colt was himself a good handicap winner over this distance at Navan recently but is now 13lb higher. Kendall Roy is unbeaten in three handicap runs, all at this distance, and may well have more to offer.

OHAILBHIC would likely have gone very close had the right gaps appeared at Naas and can gain compensation off the same mark. Kendall Roy is 3-3 in handicaps and has to be feared. Branding came clear as he pleased on his own at Navan and has a hefty rise to overcome but can't be left off the shortlist.

With Heavenly Being and Branding sure to set a strong pace, it could suit a hold-up horse like OHAILBHIC.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/4 +22%) Better Be Definite	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(3) Better Be Definite 7/4, Much improved away from testing ground when off the mark in 15-runner Ayr handicap (24.3f) in March and progressed further when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago, beaten only by one who got first run. High on the shortlist again. Progressing nicely; Ayr winner (3m); bettered that in defeat over C&D latest; 5lb higher..
2	7 2nd (7) (9/1 +44%) Dequall	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Dequall 9/1, It's been a while since he last hit the target and while his comeback effort following a lengthy layoff at Kelso in October was fairly encouraging, it's hard to get excited about what he's shown subsequently. No win since March 2021 (Kelso, 3m2f); masses to find with Better Be Definite from Ayr..
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -43%) Kiss My Face	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Kiss My Face 5/1, Flat/hurdles winner who ran up to his best on the level when runner-up at Wolverhampton (16.5f) 2 starts back and not disgraced when sixth of 11 over 20f here 10 days ago. Return to further won't inconvenience him and respected from easing mark. Outpaced over 2m4f here latest; 2lb lower; return to further could assist..
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 -40%) Didnt Ask	7 7/1(-40%)	(1) Didnt Ask 7/1, Won the first of his 2 starts in points. Lightly raced over hurdles but showed more than previously when third on qualifying run in a C&D maiden 10 days ago. Tongue tie worn then retained for handicap debut and he's one to consider. Tongue-tie on when placed over C&D (maiden, good) recently; handicap debut; noteworthy..
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 -40%) Reagrove Lord	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Reagrove Lord 14/1, Placed in points in Ireland and not disgraced on each of his first 2 starts in handicaps in this sphere equipped with a tongue strap. Proved to be a disappointment when last of 5 in a C&D handicap in March but given a break since and the assessor is relinquishing his grip. Six-race rules maiden; last of five to stablemate of Better Be Definite over C&D latest..
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (11/2 +45%) Buto	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(9) Buto 11/2, Belatedly off the mark when landing this race 12 months ago and ran well from revised mark next 2 starts back here. Lightly raced since and he weakened out of things pretty quickly when last seen at Sedgefield (19.8f) in February. Return to better ground following a break could help. 1-32 overall; won this last year from a similar mark; returning from a three-month absence.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (16/1 +0%) Just Call Me Al	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Just Call Me Al 16/1, Veteran who won 3 times in 2021/22 season. Drawn blank since but signs he can do something from his reduced mark when second over 3m at Musselburgh in December. However, been disappointing in 2 subsequent outings. Veteran; backwards since Musselburgh second (3m) in December; better to look elsewhere.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (20/1 -100%) Court Case	20 20/1(-100%)	(8) Court Case 20/1, Minor promise in bumpers but has offered little in handful of novice/maiden hurdles in recent months. Marked improvement required to figure on handicap debut. Pulled up in three of four hurdle starts; set for handicap debut on much better ground..
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (22/1 -10%) Bolt Man	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Bolt Man 22/1, Maiden who offered little back from 14 months off when eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good) 13 days ago. Needs to step up considerably on that if he's to figure here. Eight-race maiden; down the field on recent Kelso return (2m5f); makes little appeal..
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 -21%) Shoughall's Boy	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Shoughall's Boy 40/1, Dual winner here (20f) in 2021 but has largely struggled since, beaten some way out when sixth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (19.8f) in April. Passed over from out of the weights. Both wins here at Hexham (2m4f) in late 2021; mostly poor since; an unlikely candidate..

Although he was unable to complete a double when a close-up second over C&D earlier this month, BETTER BE DEFINITE lost little in defeat in that 16-runner affair. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks workable for Nick Alexander's gelding and compensation could await. The biggest threat may emerge from handicap debutant Didnt Ask, who posted a solid third over track and trip in a maiden hurdle recently, while Reagrove Lord should enjoy the return to a sounder surface.

BETTER BE DEFINITE showed improved form when opening his account at Ayr in March and took another step forward when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago, beaten only by one who got first run. Still lightly raced, he looks to hold sound claims again and earns the vote. Kiss My Face is still fairly lightly raced at this sort of trip and he's considered, with last year's winner Buto and Didn't Ask in the mix too.

The shortlist is limited to Kiss My Face, Didnt Ask and BETTER BE DEFINITE. The selection went close in defeat over C&D latest.

PATRONAGE saw out the trip fine when runner-up at Beverley on his first try at 1m2f and that form has since been franked by the winner following up under a 6lb penalty. The son of Masar makes plenty of appeal with the handicapper leaving him on the same mark and the addition of cheekpieces further enhances his credentials. Givitawhirl is bred to be a good deal better than a mark of 58, coming from the family of Poet's Word and Malabar, and stepping up in trip is likely to be a positive. Others to note include Emerald City and Eccentric.

ECCENTRIC disappointed in cheekpieces at Kempton last time but he was progressive on the AW prior to that so is worth another chance off this sort of mark switched to turf. The dangers are headed by Wannabeawallaby and Daring Leader, who are potential improvers now handicapping.

Many may improve now they are handicapped but PATRONAGE (nap) has already won and can go in again. Penalty Shootout can grab second.

8	8 (8) (5/2 +0%) Ojw Legacy	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(8) Ojw Legacy 5/2, Lightly-raced filly. 3/1, good second of 14 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago, ridden over 1f out and keeping on. Return to 6f a plus and with fitness on her side, she's very much one for the shortlist. Just denied in maidens at Dundalk (6f) and Navan (5f) last twice; can be a big player.
1	2 1st (2) (33/1 -32%) Gerrit's Gem	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Gerrit's Gem 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eleventh of 14 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 40/1) 30 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Decent Dundalk debut but got stuck in the mud at Curragh on return; can better that effort.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 -30%) Dalva's Boys	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(1) Dalva's Boys 13/2, Farhh gelding. Dam ran twice, out of useful 2-y-o 5f winner Loch Jipp. Shaped promisingly first time up when third of 8 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 11/1) on debut 7 days ago, losing second near line. Type to do better again down in trip. Solid debut over 1m on soft at Killarney a week ago; big drop in trip but has some ability.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/4 +42%) Annie Edson Taylor	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(6) Annie Edson Taylor 7/4, Mayson filly who confirmed debut promise when again finding only one too good in 18-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft, 13/8) in October. Respected on return to action. Went close in two Navan maidens over 5.5f last year; big shout if ready enough on return.

Tongue tie applied now. A solid return at Sligo and can improve from that, so has a shout with a tongue-tie on.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/2 -30%) Cuban Confusion	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(3) Cuban Confusion 13/2, Fairly useful gelding who ran best race when second in a Dundalk maiden (1m) in October. Disappointed back there a month later (refused to settle) but gelded ahead of return and he could yet get back on track. Some solid runs last year but disappointed final start when keen; gelded, could go well.
6th	9 6th (9) (7/2 +50%) Ringabella	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(9) Ringabella 7/2, Thrice-raced filly. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at this C&D (good) 11 days ago. Likely type to progress further. A solid return over C&D with a tongue-tie on; can improve for that and go close.

8th	7 8th (7) (4/1 +50%) Lanzerac	4 4/1(+50%)	(7) Lanzerac 4/1, No Nay Never filly. Closely related to winner up to 1m Aswan. Dam maiden (stayed 1¼m), closely related to smart winner up to 8.6f King George River. Yard in good form. Unsold for 95,000euros as a 2yo; well bred and worth a market check from a top yard.

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR hasn't run since October but showed solid form on her latest run at Navan. The form was significantly boosted by the winner scoring twice subsequently and improving his rating to 87, while the well-held third also won subsequently and is now rated 73. Ojw Legacy is herself a proven and consistent performer and has recent form. Despite being rated 2lb higher than the lesser-exposed selection, her form possibly isn't as strong but can be counted upon to run her usual race. Cuban Confusion raced too keenly when last seen at Dundalk but may benefit from dropping in trip.

OJW LEGACY matched her previous best and shaped well with a view to stepping back up in trip when runner-up in a 5f Navan maiden 2 weeks ago and she earns the vote to build on that here. Annie Edson Taylor on return and likely improvers Ringabella and Dalva's Boys are others to consider.

Having rallied up the hill over 5f at Navan last time to be just denied over 5f, the return to this trip can see OJW LEGACY(nap) score.

Little separates Rumble B (third) and Dillarchie (fourth) on their recent encounter over C&D, with the pair likely to be involved once more if running to a similar level. However, they could prove vulnerable to something unexposed, and ITURGEON DU BREUIL fits the bill. Barry Murtagh's charge caught the eye when a staying-on third on his handicap bow at Ayr in March and 1lb nudge up in the ratings is unlikely the ceiling of his ability.

A few of these come here with question marks against them but RUMBLE B arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to bag another C&D success. Very good Ayr third Iturgeon du Breuil could emerge as the main danger, with Balkotic and Dillarchie also in the picture.

Lucinda Russell's GREENHILL GARDENS is better than his form figures suggest and earns the vote over this new trip.

THERAPIST returned from a short break with a solid display when landing a novices' handicap at Southwell a fortnight ago and looks very capable of another big run. A 7lb higher mark looks fair for the Nicky Henderson-trained mare and, with ground conditions to suit, she has plenty in her favour. Obsessedwithyou wasn't beaten far when third at Stratford last month and is another likely to find more given that was her first run since December. Billams Legacy and Lady Gwen complete the shortlist.

None of these can be ruled out but it's still impossible to ignore the claims of Southwell scorer THERAPIST who still looks ahead of her mark despite taking a 7 lb rise here. Billams Legacy could be set to extend her sequence of second placings to six, with Lady Gwen, Obsessedwithyou and Well Done Dani all in the mix too.

There is no strong temptation to oppose THERAPIST (nap), who quickened clear to make a winning handicap hurdle debut two weeks ago.

5th	10 5th (10) (14/1 -75%) Jazzy Dancer	14 14/1(-75%)	(10) Jazzy Dancer 14/1, Latest win at Dundalk in March. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Naas (5f, good, 7/1) 10 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Won twice on AW last winter; found 5f too sharp on return and this can suit better.
6th	15 6th (15) (25/1 -108%) Amemri	25 25/1(-108%)	(15) Amemri 25/1, Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Dundalk (7f) in November, never better than midfield having been caught further back than ideal. Possible this run will be needed following 6 months off. Won at Dundalk last autumn but below that level twice after; has to be ready on return.
7th	14 7th (14) (25/1 +0%) Trueba	25 25/1(+0%)	(14) Trueba 25/1, C&D winner. 33/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 7 days ago, pushed along over 2f out and soon beaten. Others make much greater appeal. C&D winner last August has been well held on soft ground lately but faster conditions suit.
8th	8 8th (8) (15/2 -15%) Run Forrest Run	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(8) Run Forrest Run 15/2, Course winner. 11/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Limerick (6.7f, soft) 5 days ago, ridden from 2f out and keeping on. Remains above last winning mark but not discounted if building on that here. Won his fifth race when scoring over 6f here last autumn; can better Limerick effort.
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 +38%) Little Keilee	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Little Keilee 10/1, 18/1, bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 8 days ago, ridden over 2f out and not quicken. Others arrive with more pressing claims. Not bad runs in defeat lately and creeping down the weights but needs more.
10th	12 10th (12) (3/1 +45%) Summer Snow	3 3/1(+45%)	(12) Summer Snow 3/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Gowran in April. 13/8, respectable fifth of 19 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 22 days ago. Possibilities again. C&D winner won well at Gowran over 7f before not seeing out 1m at Naas; can run well.
11th	1 11th (1) (33/1 -65%) Mindthegap	33 33/1(-65%)	(1) Mindthegap 33/1, Won second of 2 starts as a juvenile but failed to progress in 4 subsequent outings for Richard Hannon last term. Returns for new stable/after 9 months off with a visor fitted and betting may prove a useful guide. Yard also saddle Shawaamekh. A 2yo winner in UK lost his form last year; visor on for return; questions.
12th	7 12th (7) (8/1 +33%) Red Heel	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) Red Heel 8/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft, 20/1) 16 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Has dropped in weights in last year; didn't stay 1m2f last time and this more suitable.
13th	6 13th (6) (10/1 -54%) Shanadar	10 10/1(-54%)	(6) Shanadar 10/1, Fair colt. 5/2, bit below form 2½ lengths sixth of 14 to Miqdaad in maiden at Dundalk (7f) in January, fading over 2f out. Gelded ahead of return/handicap debut and better showing anticipated. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has run well in defeat in maidens but didn't progress; gelded and tongue-tie on could help.

SUMMER SNOW was beaten two lengths under a 7lb penalty at Naas last month, but she has better recent form than most of her rivals and is suited by conditions. She won at this distance five days prior at Gowran Park and might fare better having had a longer break between races. Run Forrest Run is a five-time winner and while he has been running over shorter trips recently, he won twice at this distance in 2021 and is ground-versatile. Veteran Shawaamekh has run well twice already this season and while suited by this distance, drying ground is a concern.

SHAWAAMEKH is now into the veteran stage but has twice run well upon returning this term, again finding only one too good at Limerick 5 days ago, and he could be worth siding with to end a losing run. Summer Snow has made a bright start for his new yard and is feared, with Superior Force and Shanadar others to consider.

A flier is taken on C&D winner TRUEBA to come back to form now that he gets back on a sound surface, having been poor on soft recently.

Handily weighted reverted to this sphere though so well worth considering. Should be thereabouts on the pick of his form back over fences off a competitive mark..
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 -29%) Meetmeinthemorning	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Meetmeinthemorning 9/1, Has twice failed to build on his hurdling debut fourth at Kelso in October. A winning Irish pointer so he's no forlorn hope now going chasing after 173-day lay-off. A good-ground point winner but drop in trip might not be ideal on chase/handicap bow..
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +0%) Royal Rhythm	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Royal Rhythm 4/1, Made a successful debut for Jonjo O'Neill at Carlisle in October. Added to that at Wetherby on Boxing Day and has remained in form since, fourth in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle 27 days ago. Interesting now going chasing. Has it to prove on good ground at 2m but a likely type to improve for fences..

Has it to prove off his current mark but respected nonetheless if his jumping holds up..

BREIZH RIVER has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in novice/maiden hurdle company this year. Connections have wasted little time in sending the son of Stormy River over fences for his handicap debut and the six-year-old could take all the beating if taking to this discipline. Fellow chasing newcomer Royal Rhythm has enjoyed a respectable campaign and is feared most, while an improved bid from C&D scorer Rollerruler wouldn't surprise on his return to this track either.

A few with chances. ROYAL RHYTHM enjoyed a good first season over hurdles for his current yard and is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere at the chief expense of Harel du Marais who reverts to this sphere on an appealing mark. Breizh River is another starting out over fences with some potential and he can also have a say.

Royal Rhythm makes some appeal but preference is for another chase debutant in BREIZH RIVER.

1	4 1st (4) (2/5 +45%) Mostly Sunny	0.4 2/5(+45%)	(4) Mostly Sunny 2/5, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat for Heather Main, successful at Kempton in January (sold for 32,000 gns the following month). Bad mistake at the last proved costly on recent hurdles debut at Southwell (2m, good) and, granted a clean round of jumping, he will prove hard to beat here. Fairly useful Flat-racer; looked unlucky not to win modest maiden hurdle this month.
2	10 2nd (10) (30/1 -50%) Vivid Pink	30 30/1(-50%)	(10) Vivid Pink 30/1, Best effort in bumpers when second of 5 at Market Rasen last summer and she was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when fourth of 8 in a mares' maiden at Exeter in October. However, she was in the process of running poorly when unseating rider 3 out at Ludlow next time. Safely held when fourth in weak mares' maiden on hurdling debut.
3	2 3rd (2) (125/1 -279%) Bristol Hill	125 125/1(-279%)	(2) Bristol Hill 125/1, Modest handicapper on the Flat nowadays and, having shown little spark in recent appearances on the AW, he doesn't make a great deal of appeal now switched to hurdles. Placed on AW in February and can be competitive here if he takes to hurdling.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 +52%) Natchez Trace	16 16/1(+52%)	(5) Natchez Trace 16/1, Didn't show much sole previous hurdles start back in 2021 and recent efforts on the Flat hardly augur well. Fair Flat-racer; soundly beaten over hurdles in 2021 but still more appealing than some.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 +0%) United Front	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(7) United Front 11/2, Originally trained by Aidan O'Brien before winning 4 times for at up to 1¼m for Michael Appleby. Has joined a good yard as he embarks on a career over hurdles and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. Very useful on the Flat in his prime; should be fine stamina-wise on stable/hurdle debut.
6th	11 6th (11) (250/1 +0%) Saved Lizzie	250 250/1(+0%)	(11) Saved Lizzie 250/1, Well held in a pair of bumpers and tailed off on hurdles debut at Kempton in March. Down the field in two course bumpers and also when 250-1 for hurdling debut.

Open to improvement in this sphere. Pulled up in heavy-ground Listed race on hurdle debut but has since won on the Flat.
9th	6 9th (6) (28/1 -40%) Sunset In Paris	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Sunset In Paris 28/1, Hinted at promise on debut in this sphere last June and in good form on the Flat since, winning 3 times on the AW between December and March. Each-way shout if able to continue the good work back hurdling. Shaped quite well on last summer's hurdle debut; three low-grade AW wins since.
10th	1 10th (1) (200/1 -100%) Barbarosa	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Barbarosa 200/1, Pulled up both starts over hurdles during the winter and recent efforts on the Flat haven't been overly inspiring either. Basement-grade AW winner in February but struggled on both previous hurdling attempts.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (200/1 -100%) Jack The Law	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Jack The Law 200/1, Beaten a fair way on debut when last of 4 in a Market Rasen bumper last June. Tongue strap enlisted for this hurdles bow. Well beaten when last of four in poor Market Rasen bumper last June.

A versatile staying handicapper on the Flat for his previous yard, there was a lot to like about the display MOSTLY SUNNY put in on his hurdling debut at Southwell and the five-year-old might well have made a winning start in this discipline, barring a costly mistake at the last. Sure to be wiser for the experience, the selection can go one place better here. Fit from the the Flat, the betting market will be revealing as far as the likes of hurdling newcomers United Front and Bristol Hill are concerned.

MOSTLY SUNNY's achievements on the Flat don't quite match those of United Front but the 5-y-o already has a run under his belt in this sphere, and it was a very promising effort, too, at Southwell where he probably would've run out a convincing winner but for a bad mistake at the final flight. It will be interesting to see what the market makes of United Front and he is clear second choice ahead of Midnight Lion and Sunset In Paris.

Dan Skelton's MOSTLY SUNNY was unlucky not to make a winning hurdle debut a fortnight ago and can gain compensation here.

TIMANA has run well in two maidens thus far and debuts in handicaps. She lacks a recent run and wears first-time cheekpieces against more experienced rivals, but her February form was boosted by the runner-up winning a recent maiden, which suggests she might be nicely treated rated 69. The Bear Trap is in form, ground-versatile and has gone well at this distance but is nonetheless an 11-race maiden who might bump into one or two too strong. Dream Ticket missed the break when disappointing on her latest run at Dundalk in December but had previously shown good form in nurseries and should be well suited by a sounder surface.

TIMANA is not yet the finished article having been placed in a couple of maidens at Dundalk and she looks the way to go off what looks a fair opening mark. The Bear Trap is next best ahead of Byzantine Empress.

Having run fine races in defeat over 6f the last twice, running on, THE BEAR TRAP can get off the mark back up to this trip.

1	3 1st (3) (13/2 -44%) Shadows In The Sky	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(3) Shadows In The Sky 13/2, Point winner who failed to build on his promising hurdles debut last year and, similarly, he has taken backward steps subsequent to finishing third on his second start in this sphere at Musselburgh (23.6f, soft) in December. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. 0-9 under rules but shaped over 2m7f last time as though this shorter trip may help.
2	2 2nd (2) (16/1 -14%) Backbyjet	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Backbyjet 16/1, Overcame inexperience when springing a 25/1 surprise in 19f Catterick novice hurdle on New Year's Day. However, he hasn't come close to reproducing that level of form switched to fences the last twice. Novice hurdle winner; yet to shine over fences but things may click at some stage.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 +7%) Ring Pretender	7 7/1(+7%)	(5) Ring Pretender 7/1, Couple of fair efforts over hurdles in 2022 but she's yet to show any real spark in a handful of appearances in this sphere. Looked a threat before fading quickly over C&D this month; needs to see it out better.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +20%) Edgewell	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) Edgewell 8/1, Modest form in bumpers and made little impact in a trio of maiden hurdles during the autumn. Hopes pinned on the switch to fences sparking a significant step forward. Could tap back into bumper promise now back on better going on chase/handicap debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (8/1 +0%) Hey Brother	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Hey Brother 8/1, Runner-up in an Irish point before running to a fair level when making the frame both starts in bumpers. Cut little ice over hurdles, though, and there were few positives to take from his chase debut in a first-time visor (omitted here) at Huntingdon. First run for new yard. Lightly raced 7yo who could improve for the drop back in trip on stable debut.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +14%) Rory's Story	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Rory's Story 12/1, Pulled up sole start between the flags and while she was placed on 2 of her 3 starts in bumpers, this 5-y-o hasn't pulled up any trees in several attempts over hurdles. Will need to improve for the switch to fences if she's to take this. Not easy to fancy on hurdle form but return to better ground may be a plus on chase debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 +17%) Miss Wachit	5 5/1(+17%)	(8) Miss Wachit 5/1, Hurdles winner off a similar mark to this in 2022 and positive start over fences when runner-up at Southwell in July of that year. Has failed to build on that since (both in 3 subsequent chase starts and as many appearances over hurdles) but she's dangerous to discount off this career-low mark. The drop back in trip and better ground could help but her form has become patchy.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (9/4 -20%) Warriors Story	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(4) Warriors Story 9/4, Hurdles winner who went close on his second chase start at Ayr in December 2022. Disappointing next 3 runs in this sphere but latest third over C&D (soft) when returning from a break represented a step back in the right direction. Signs of a revival over C&D recently and he's one to consider.

WARRIORS STORY returned from a 138-day break to reach the frame over track and trip earlier in the month and he now goes off a 3lb lower rating. The son of Midnight Legend lurks on an appealing mark and he gets the nod. The main danger might be Miss Wachit, who failed to fire over the smaller obstacles at Perth in September but the return to this sphere and booking of Brian Hughes suggest an improved performance may be on the cards. Hey Brother completes the shortlist.

With a dearth of credible candidates on show, WARRIORS STORY is much the most likely winner on the back of his creditable C&D effort 17 days ago when returning from a five-month absence. The 8-y-o has been eased a further 3 lb since and the drying ground will aid his cause. Miss Wachit and Shadows In The Sky can do battle for minor place money.

The lightly raced chasing newcomer EDGEWELL has potential off his opening mark in view of the ability he showed in bumpers.

Safely held when fourth here on recent chase debut; back in trip with cheekpices added.
4	2 4th (2) (22/1 +21%) Play By The Rules	22 22/1(+21%)	(2) Play By The Rules 22/1, Failed to fire over hurdles last term and is hard to recommend on debut over the larger obstacles. Quirky customer with unconvincing hurdle record this year; looks risky on chase debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 -23%) Iron Heart	2 2/1(-23%)	(1) Iron Heart 2/1, Made an encouraging stable/chase debut when runner-up at Worcester (20f) in September. Well held next 2 starts but back to form back over hurdles when readily scoring at Market Rasen last week. Good second back over fences at Bangor on Saturday and remains of interest. Clear hurdle winner this month (2m4f) and went close over fences on Saturday (3m).
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (9/1 +18%) Baghdad Central	9 9/1(+18%)	(5) Baghdad Central 9/1, Handicap hurdle winner at Carlisle (19.3f) last April and backed up that effort when third at Southwell the following month. Well held next 2 starts, including on chase bow, though latest sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at this course 57 days ago was a step back in the right direction. Ran okay over hurdles here in March but still needs to prove himself over rules fences.

An easy winner at Market Rasen on his penultimate start, IRON HEART looks the type to potentially run up a sequence during the summer jumps campaign and looks worth following, despite being edged out when attempting to follow up at Bangor on Saturday. Chantilly Rose could be the biggest threat to the selection if she adapts well to racing in first-time cheekpieces, although previous C&D winner Calvic is dangerous to underestimate.

CALVIC might have been stretched by the longer trip here last month so is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his C&D win. Iron Heart is going through a good spell at the moment and is the obvious threat.

Stuart Edmunds' CALVIC could still be well handicapped after a 3lb rise for his C&D win in March and gets the vote.

2	5 2nd (5) (14/1 +0%) Cancelled	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Cancelled 14/1, Almanzor filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 8.5f winner Basic of Gold and 1m-1¼m winner Goldsmith. Watch the betting for clues. By a useful sire and could be capable of a decent run; check market.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 -43%) Realt Na Ri	20 20/1(-43%)	(6) Realt Na Ri 20/1, Once-raced filly. 15/2, ninth of 12 in maiden at Naas (10.4f, soft) on debut 22 days ago. Yard in good form but this filly needs to take a sizeable step forward. Well held in a Naas maiden over 1m2f on debut and has to make plenty of improvement.
4	1 4th (1) (5/4 -25%) Familiar Dreams	1.25 5/4(-25%)	(1) Familiar Dreams 5/4, 4/1, won 14-runner EBF (Mares) INH Flat Race at Punchestown (16.6f, good to soft) 20 days ago. On the back of that Grade 3 success will surely have a huge shout on this Flat debut/first run for the Gordon Elliott yard. A star in bumpers, winning four in a row, incl a Grade 3; fascinating runner for new yard.
5th	4 5th (4) (15/8 +25%) Bloom Vega	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(4) Bloom Vega 15/8, Promising sort. Second of 12 in maiden (6/1) at the Curragh (10f, heavy) on debut 31 days ago, running on. Looks certain to pick up a race soon enough on that evidence. Good second against colts in a Curragh maiden (1m2f); this trip fine; take lot of beating.

FAMILIAR DREAMS became a rare four-time bumper winner when landing a Grade 3 at the recent Punchestown Festival and debuts for new connections, having sold the following day for 310,000 euros. Initially a 4,000gns purchase as an unraced three-year-old from Roger Varian, she has smart ability and should be fine at middle-distances. Sixandahalf finished second to the selection in March when in receipt of 21lb and showed improvement to also win at Punchestown. A National Hunt-bred, she might struggle to reverse placings from level weights but is expected to give a decent account. Bloom Vega is out of a Listed winner and ran really well on Curragh debut and while the third-placed horse was beaten since, she is open to improvement.

FAMILIAR DREAMS has won each of her last four starts in bumpers, including at Grade 3 contest at Punchestown last time, and she is taken to make a successful debut in this sphere. Fellow bumper winner Sixandahalf and Bloom Vega, who shaped with abundant promise when runner-up on debut at the Curragh, rate the main dangers in that order of preference.

High-class bumper mare Familiar Dreams might have to play second fiddle to BLOOM VEGA, who should have improved from her debut.

Backed that up when runner-up at Carlisle (24.5f, heavy) next time and not disgraced back over hurdles 10 days ago. Player. Won at Haydock in March; below par over hurdles latest; can be bang there now back chasing.

Up 3 lb but is down in class so should go well again. Won over C&D ten days ago; just 3lb higher today and he's a key player.

Needs considering up 6 lb. Off mark at 21st attempt over C&D this month and he's entitled to respect.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +30%) Wavelength	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Wavelength 7/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and opened chase account over this C&D 2 years ago. Best effort since returning from a lengthy absence when third at Carlisle but below par both starts since, never seemed likely to play much of a part when falling over C&D 17 days ago. C&D winner who is on a handy mark and could be a contender.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 +20%) West Lawn	6 6/1(+20%)	(8) West Lawn 6/1, Winning pointer and successful twice over hurdles here in 2022. Has looked a bit limited over fences but not disgraced from out of the weights last 2 starts and at least able to race off proper mark now. Fair fourth over C&D ten days ago following a break, and might not be far away.
6th	7 6th (7) (8/1 +0%) Royle Steel	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Royle Steel 8/1, Fair 2m winner over hurdles who got off the mark in this sphere at Sedgefield off 2 lb higher in October. Below that form since, however, and others are more appealing. Stamina to prove but the return to good ground is a plus and he's well handicapped.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (9/1 +0%) Haveyougotmymoney	9 9/1(+0%)	(1) Haveyougotmymoney 9/1, Gained reward for several good efforts in defeat when landing Southwell handicap hurdle (24.3f) in October. Well held last 2 starts 5 months apart but shaped as if needing it 2 weeks ago. Makes chase debut (hit the frame on both starts in points). On a competitive mark on best hurdle form; interesting contender on chase debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (10/1 -25%) Artic Breeze	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Artic Breeze 10/1, Irish point winner who showed little in 6 hurdle starts for Laura Morgan. Made much more of an impact when second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on return/chase debut on Boxing Day but jumping went to pot at Ayr on heavy ground next time. Worth another chance back on decent going. Patchy profile and down field last time; however, runner-up two starts ago; not ruled out.

DR SHIROCCO had West Lawn (fourth) behind when accounting for his nearest rival by a length in a class 4 event over C&D recently and he is only 3lb higher for that success. Sandy Forster's nine-year-old looks the one to beat again, with his main threat possibly being Coolmoyne, who himself went in over track and trip earlier in the month and it would be no surprise to see him involved off 6lb higher. Of the remainder, Royle Steel makes the most appeal.

DR SHIROCCO resumed winning ways over C&D 10 days ago and can defy a 3 lb rise back down in class. Coolmoyne pulled clear with a subsequent winner when finally off the mark over this C&D earlier this month and looks the obvious threat with Elleon best of the others.

With his last win having come off 2lb higher on good ground after a break, ROYLE STEEL earns the vote on his first run since February.

Seemingly back in good form when fourth at Ludlow last month; still well handicapped.

Mole Court looked better than ever when making a winning reappearance over fences at this venue last month and the seven-year-old isn't taken lightly on this switch to the smaller obstacles. However, Ben Pauling's charge has failed to succeed off significantly lower marks in this discipline in the past, which could see PLANET LEGEND regain the winning thread. The Galileo gelding arrives on the back of a close-up second at Ludlow and compensation could await off just a 3lb higher rating. Ubetya (fourth) was behind the selection that day and he may fare best of the remainder.

PLANET LEGEND looked well suited by the step up in trip when narrowly beaten at Ludlow last month and can gain compensation here. Ubetya and Mole Court rate the principal dangers.

Very progressive over fences since cheekpieces were added last year, MOLE COURT might add this hurdle race to his haul of wins.

PASCALIA has run well in 2024 and might be suited by stepping up in distance. There is plenty of speed in the dam's side but she saw out a mile quite well on testing ground at Cork last month, suggesting she could stay further. Dromore Glory returned from a huge 652-day layoff when finishing second over this distance at Dundalk last month and appears to still be fairly treated, with Colin Keane is a notable booking. Explorers Way's four wins were on the UK all-weather and he may step forward from his Irish return.

PASCALIA is still on the up judged on her latest second here last month and can go one better if seeing out the longer trip. Dromore Glory is feared most ahead of Explorers Way.

Not the strongest of handicaps and PASCALIA should prove a tough nut to crack if she handles the step up in trip

Roccovango sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 116 after his victory at Huntingdon in March, but he could find it tough to give his 7lb penalty away to REFORME. Lucinda Russell's five-year-old wasn't disgraced in third over an extended 2m1f at Musselburgh last time and he can improve for this step up in trip to get his head in front for the first time. Conquer The Breeze was beaten 10 lengths into second over 2m here earlier in the month and is another to note.

REFORME should improve for the step up in trip and is preferred to penalised winner Roccovango. Multiple winning pointer Wise Move is an interesting newcomer.

The Lucinda Russell-trained REFORME may well improve for this step up in trip and he is taken to get off the mark.

Confidence in the betting saw an improved bid from BREAD AND BUTTER, who posted a solid third over 2m3f at Taunton last month and the nine-year-old remains well treated judged on his Irish form. Hugueneau comes with risks attached having bled from the nose at Uttoxeter earlier this month, but Dan Skelton's charge is feared most if bouncing back, while Scudamore is entitled to build on last month's reappearance seventh over C&D.

BREAD AND BUTTER has fallen appreciably in the weights and gets the nod under a good-value 10-lb conditional having taken a big step back in the right direction when third at Taunton last month. Miss Applejack, a fair bumper winner, could improve switched to a handicap following a break, while Scudamore is entitled to strip fitter for his recent outing and merits consideration, also.

It might pay to give another chance to HUGUENEAU, who had an excuse when letting down favourite backers at Southwell recently.

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE's only previous win was gained over course-and-distance in July 2022 and the five-year-old has been running well in defeat in races since last July. Ground-versatile and well suited by this distance, this may be the opportunity for him to strike once again. One-time Barrier Trial winner Jeaniemacaroney is fit from hurdling and while she had form at this grade and over this distance last summer, continues to be frustrating to follow and is an 11-race maiden. Power Drive is rated just 2lb higher than when winning easily at this distance at Dundalk in April but the nine-year-old's seven wins have all come on the all-weather.

A few with chances but NOT JUST ANY EAGLE is taken to bag another C&D win on the back of his good recent Sligo second. Limerick runner-up Jeaniemcaroney heads the list of dangers, with Epaulawn weighted to go well too. Power Drive completes the shortlist.

A tight handicap and it may be worth siding with EPAULAWN who has caught the eye a few times this season

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7/1 +0%) Well Educated	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Well Educated 7/1, Five-time winner in 2022 and showed signs that he retains all of that ability last year. Shaped better than the bare result back from 6 months off in the race won by Hartur D'oudairies and, likely to strip fitter now, he has to enter calculations. Three-time course winner who could build upon his recent fifth here.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 -10%) Hartur D'oudairies	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) Hartur D'oudairies 11/4, Low-key start for this yard but firmly back on track the last twice, runner-up in a competitive Musselburgh handicap last month prior to going on better here (2m, soft) recently. Still on a good mark up 3 lb and forecast quicker ground won't be an issue. Rejuvenated the last twice (2m1f/2m), keeping on well each time; firmly in calculations.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) A Law Of Her Own	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) A Law Of Her Own 4/1, Winner of a mares' handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) for Peter Fahey last summer. Hasn't troubled the judge since but she has generally contested stronger races than this, including when mid-field in an 18-runner Cheltenham handicap on debut for this yard last month. Cheekpieces applied. Could have more to offer now up in trip on second start for top yard.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 +0%) The Churchill Lad	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) The Churchill Lad 9/1, Dual juvenile hurdle winner who struck again in 2m Haydock handicap in the mud in December. Performed well on 2 of his 3 subsequent starts, including when fourth of 17 in Morebattle at Kelso in March, but he needs to bounce back following a rather tame effort back at Haydock last time. Disappointing latest but has had break since; in good form previously; could make bold bid.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 -13%) Not What It Seems	9 9/1(-13%)	(4) Not What It Seems 9/1, Completed hat-trick of novice hurdle successes in 2022 and good second on handicap debut at Catterick in November of that year. Largely below par since (both in this sphere and over fences) but will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward off this reduced mark. Pulled up over fences last time but has dropped to a dangerous mark and is not discounted.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/2 -17%) Les's Legacy	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(5) Les's Legacy 7/2, Three-time hurdle winner during 2022/23 campaign, including here. Has found just one too good on 2 of his last 3 starts, the latest when going over this C&D 10 days ago, and a reproduction of that would give him a fighting chance. Hexham brings out the best in him and he went close over C&D ten days ago.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +38%) Palm Beach	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Palm Beach 10/1, Dual winner over hurdles but most recent success was over 2 years ago and he has been more miss than hit since. Has undergone another wind op and cheekpieces refitted. On a reduced mark and has had wind op, but he has a regressive profile.

HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES seems to have turned a corner on his last couple of starts after joining Brian Ellison at the start of the year, with his penultimate second at Musselburgh followed by the seven-year-old getting back to winning ways here over 2m earlier in the month. Stepping up in trip might yield further improvement and he is fancied to handle a 3lb rise from the handicapper. Les's Legacy is expected to be competitive once again after his recent C&D second, while The Churchill Lad is clearly better than his Haydock effort in March suggests.

HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES and Well Educated, first and fifth respectively in a 2m handicap here recently, are both on appealing marks and could be the two to concentrate on. The latter is entitled to come on for that run and should finish closer this time but Hartur d'Oudairies overcame late mistakes and traffic problems that day and he is taken to strike again. A back-to-form Not What It Seems would be a threat, while A Law of Her Own is interesting on her second start for the Skelton yard.

Preference is for HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES, who has gradually got back on track since joining Brian Ellison and remains well handicapped.

This looks another good opening. Dual point winner in March and wide-margin winner of small-field hunter chase this month.
1	2 1st (2) (11/4 +58%) Amenon	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(2) Amenon 11/4, Fair hurdler/chaser at best. Lost his way in Ireland and needs a revival. Has useful French/British form on his CV but has struggled in Ireland since the winter.
2	3 2nd (3) (1/2 +90%) Macavity	0.5 1/2(+90%)	(3) Macavity 1/2, Bumper/point winner (by wide margin latest). Not had a lot of racing under Rules. Seemingly boosted by first-time blinkers when winning open point last month.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +50%) Marton Abbey	7 7/1(+50%)	(4) Marton Abbey 7/1, Point winner (third in that sphere recently). Tailed off completed start in novice hunter chases at Stratford. Did not achieve a great deal when remote third in recent restricted point.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

TREVADA had little difficulty in dispatching a small field when coming home in splendid isolation at Fakenham earlier this month. Francesca Poste's inmate is sure to prove a warm order to follow up and he's difficult to oppose. Amenon is a potential fly in the ointment on his stable debut and the nine-year-old may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Macavity, who landed a point-to-point in April.

Another good opening for easy Fakenham winner TREVADA. Macavity might be the danger.

This looks another good opportunity for recent Fakenham winner TREVADA.

2	5 2nd (5) (7/2 +22%) For Three	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(5) For Three 7/2, Dual C&D winner who ended lengthy losing run when taking 12-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) 11 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and must enter calculations. Won at Sedgefield back from a five-month break; has plenty in his favour off a 5lb rise..

Not seen to best effect, on second start for new yard, when fourth at Uttoxeter (15.8f) latest but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Not fully exposed and she is respected back on the better ground..

Back to that sort of form when third of 12 in Sedgefield handicap (16.8f, good) latest and could be a player. Remains a maiden after 14 starts but has each-way claims after a solid effort last time..
6th	11 6th (11) (7/2 +42%) Wotyoudunnow Buddy	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(11) Wotyoudunnow Buddy 7/2, Belatedly off the mark when taking 7-runner selling hurdle over C&D (soft) 17 days ago, finding extra. Nicely treated, back in handicap company, and is one for the shortlist. Won a C&D seller this month and is seriously considered back in a handicap..
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 -100%) Agilulf	50 50/1(-100%)	(4) Agilulf 50/1, Still looking for first success and arrives on back of poor run at Perth last month. Penultimate start gives him a chance but he has plenty to prove at present..

Blinkered for first time. On a good mark but the change of headgear needs to spark a revival..
9th	2 9th (2) (14/1 -40%) Indian Louis	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Indian Louis 14/1, Dual point winner who made a winning chase debut at Musselburgh (2½m, soft) on New Year's Day.

Fairly treated if able to build on that. On a good mark and shaped promisingly back over hurdles this month..

For Three returned from a break to score at Sedgefield and is likely to enter calculations once again. However, a 5lb rise may well be enough to stop him from making it a brace of victories and a chance is taken with INDIAN LOUIS. Lucinda Russell's gelding shaped with promise when switched back to hurdles here over 2m4f earlier in the month and the drop in trip may see him in a better light. Jumping Jupiter and Brian's Jet are others capable of a decent showing.

Preference is for JUMPING JUPITER, who is relatively low mileage and made a pleasing start for Mark Walford at Southwell a fortnight ago. Recent winners For Three and Wotyoudunnow Buddy are feared most.

Jumping Jupiter is not passed over lightly but preference is for FOR THREE (nap) who makes appeal following his recent win.

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.
