14:20 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (14/1 -100%) Kojin	14 14/1(-100%)	(5) Kojin 14/1, Good second of 9 in handicap (5/2) at Brighton (9.9f, good) 2 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Lacks any significant form beyond 1m4f or on AW; second at Brighton on Tuesday.
1	7 1st (7) (9/4 +10%) Wannabe Brave	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(7) Wannabe Brave 9/4, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Won 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (16f, 3/1) 7 days ago despite missing break. Ought to be taken seriously in his hat-trick bid. 2m AW wins at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford last two runs; unpenalised; more to prove here.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -18%) Daaris	10 10/1(-18%)	(4) Daaris 10/1, Knocking on the door at the minute, creditable second of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 35 days ago. Should go well again. 2nd at up to 2m on AW tracks at Newcastle, Wolverhampton and Chelmsford last three starts.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 +15%) Greek Giant	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(1) Greek Giant 11/2, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in April. 5/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 1st and 2nd at Chelmsford in his two AW runs this year; now blinkered; each-way claims.
4	2 4th (2) (11/4 +39%) Abraaj	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(2) Abraaj 11/4, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 2/1, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago. Has his quirks but his AW profile is much more reliable than his turf one. This year's four AW runs have all been good shows over 2m, winning over C&D on latest.
5th	9 5th (9) (20/1 -67%) Ship To Shore	20 20/1(-67%)	(9) Ship To Shore 20/1, 11/2, good second of 11 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy), running on. Off 7 months. 1-17 but holds an each-way chance, assuming he returns on song from 220-day absence.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 -41%) Doublethetrouble	12 12/1(-41%)	(6) Doublethetrouble 12/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. 9/1, creditable 3¼ lengths third of 9 to Abraaj in handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago. Placed in seven of last nine starts (third to Abraaj over C&D latest) but 0-28 overall.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 +18%) African Star	7 7/1(+18%)	(3) African Star 7/1, 4/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW), collared final strides. Off 131 days. First run for yard after leaving Sylvester Kirk. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Pipped over C&D in January; left Sylvester Kirk for 28,000gns in February; cheekpieces now.
8th	8 8th (8) (25/1 -25%) Dotties Star	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Dotties Star 25/1, 4/1, respectable return when fifth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 13-race maiden; has usually given his running but is unraced beyond 1m4f under Flat rules.

WANNABE BRAVE has been much improved since returning from a short-lived hurdling campaign and supplemented a Wolverhampton triumph by again justifying favouritism at Chelmsford. He escapes a penalty for that apprentices' race success and can capitalise on being 3lb well-in. Abraaj showed his appreciation for the return to the all-weather by winning emphatically over C&D and looks a big danger. Daaris has been hammering on the door and will surely be let in before too long, with Greek Giant another to consider.

WANNABE BRAVE arrives in top form, much like his stable, so should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Abraaj was a decisive winner over C&D 2 weeks ago so is feared most ahead of Daaris, who has been knocking on the door in recent months.

Last-time-out winners Wannabe Brave and Abraaj are major players but it might just pay to give another chance to AFRICAN STAR.

14:28 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (5/1 +38%) Double Dragon	5 5/1(+38%)	(10) Double Dragon 5/1, Shaped with promise when fourth in a bumper on debut but went backwards at Newbury next time. Third on hurdles debut at Hereford, despite jumping left, so this track should help. Encouraging third of ten on hurdling debut at Hereford 23 days ago; in the mix.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 +25%) Nowmelad	9 9/1(+25%)	(6) Nowmelad 9/1, Point winner who ran to a modest level both starts in bumpers, again racing freely after 7 months off when fourth of 11 at Warwick last month (also short of room). Goes hurdling at a very realistic level. Point winner who showed promise in two bumpers; needs watching in market on hurdling debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 +14%) Boyles Hill	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Boyles Hill 3/1, Fetched £17,500 after landing a maiden point at the second attempt in February. Encouraging start when runner-up in a C&D bumper. Bred for jumping so one to take seriously. Point winner who was runner-up in a bumper here last month; interesting on hurdling debut.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 -9%) Guard Duty	3 3/1(-9%)	(5) Guard Duty 3/1, Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Al Clay. Has the frame and pedigree to think he'll make a hurdler/chaser but he was talented enough to make a winning bumper debut at Southwell in November. Good third at Warwick 3 months later and lots to recommend now hurdling. Bumper winner; returns after 474 days off but he's respected on his hurdling debut.
5th	12 5th (12) (50/1 -213%) Razzle Dazzle Boy	50 50/1(-213%)	(12) Razzle Dazzle Boy 50/1, €42,000 3-y-o: third foal, dam (c121/h121) 21f/2¾m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 25f). Could be one for longer trips later on and is best watched unless market is persuasive.
6th	11 6th (11) (100/1 -203%) Katstar	100 100/1(-203%)	(11) Katstar 100/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m, creditable effort last time. Sold from Harry Eustace 4,400 gns in May. Modest six-race maiden on the Flat and looks opposable on hurdling/stable debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (125/1 -89%) Pooroldmackley	125 125/1(-89%)	(7) Pooroldmackley 125/1, £5,000 3-y-o, fifth foal, dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Gallant Oscar. Failed to complete both starts in points (pulled up last time, Mar 24). Failed to complete in two points and is probably best watched on this switch to rules.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 +34%) Easter Icon	33 33/1(+34%)	(3) Easter Icon 33/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat but too free both starts over hurdles, latterly unseating rider at Chepstow. Last of 7 back on the level since. No joy under both codes in his last four runs and others are preferred.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 -203%) Shadow's	100 100/1(-203%)	(9) Shadow's 100/1, Half-brother to fair hurdler Bluefortytwo (17f winner, by Overbury), stays 2½m: dam unraced. Twice-raced in points, last of 3 finishers last time (May 2023). Well held in two points last spring and is best watched on hurdling debut.
2	2 \|B\| (2) (16/1 -113%) Country Park	16 16/1(-113%)	(2) Country Park 16/1, £150,000 Walk In The Park gelding. Brother to bumper winner Goodtimecrew from the family of Wicklow Brave. Won sole start in Irish points but failed to finish his race off either start in bumpers. He's in good hands though and now goes hurdling. Point winner but disappointing in two bumpers and needs a transformation on hurdling debut.
13	13 \|B\| (13) (16/1 +0%) Scintillante	16 16/1(+0%)	(13) Scintillante 16/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, stays 1½m, won final start in 2023. Sold from Andrew Balding 30,000 gns later in November but failed to see his race out having pulled hard on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Hood may help in that regard. Fairly useful on Flat and he ran well for long way on his hurdling debut; not ruled out.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (6/1 +45%) Full Metal Jacket	6 6/1(+45%)	(4) Full Metal Jacket 6/1, From a good family and filled the frame both starts in Irish bumpers last spring. Failed to meet market expectations when fifth on hurdles debut and left Emmet Mullins cheaply after. Held up in a steadily-run race over 20f here a fortnight ago. Well-related 6yo who shaped better than the bare facts here latest; one to keep an eye on.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 +50%) Pub Crawl	33 33/1(+50%)	(8) Pub Crawl 33/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) but was tailed off on most recent outing and looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling at Hereford recently. 0-19 on the Flat and was tailed off on his hurdling debut three weeks ago.

GUARD DUTY presumably hasn't been the most straightforward to train having only seen the track twice so far, but the seven-year-old has already shown a useful level of form in bumpers and it will be no surprise if he is up to the task on his hurdling bow. Point-to-point winner Boyles Hill made a pleasing start to life under Rules when second in a bumper here and he can emerge as the main danger. 150,000-pound purchase Country Park is also noted, but he will need to improve on his bumper form if he is to take the gold medal.

GUARD DUTY laid a really solid foundation for hurdling in bumpers, winning on debut before a sound third under a penalty and this looks a good starting point for him over obstacles. Boyles Hill should also have a fair future as a jumper and is a threat, with Scintillante capable of better if settling, with a hood looking a good move.

The vote goes to Irish point winner BOYLES HILL, who was runner-up in a bumper here last month and should have a future over hurdles.

6	6 (6) (12/1 -33%) Sunshine Soul	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Sunshine Soul 12/1, Foaled February 28. 68,000 gns foal, 72,000 gns 2-y-o, Mehmas filly. Dam, 10.7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m French Navy out of useful 1¼m winner First Fleet. One of two Boughey newcomers. 72,000gns breeze-up buy; Beronia may be yard's chief hope but a market check is advised.
1	5 1st (5) (8/1 -33%) Royalty Bay	8 8/1(-33%)	(5) Royalty Bay 8/1, Foaled April 4. £23,000 yearling, £125,000 2-y-o, Kodiac filly. Dam, 7f/1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Go Bears Go and half-sister to useful 7f-9.5f winner Earth Drummer. Ticks boxes on debut. Cost £125,000 at last month's breeze-ups; dam related to some classy 2yo winners.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -45%) Beronia	4 4/1(-45%)	(2) Beronia 4/1, Foaled February 9. €210,000 yearling, Hello Youmzain filly. Dam, useful French 6.5f-1m winner, half-sister to smart 1¾m-16.6f winner (stayed 2½m) Lismore. Highly respected on debut. 210,000euros yearling; trainer's 2yos are in excellent form; she could play a leading role.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/6 +59%) Substitute	0.666667 4/6(+59%)	(1) Substitute 4/6, Ignored in the betting giver her stable but overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 7-runner minor event (14/1) at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 11 days ago, Sets the bar pretty high and selected to defy a penalty. Useful pedigree and won at 14-1 over C&D on recent debut; strong claims under 7lb penalty.
4	4 4th (4) (11/2 +8%) Pretty Thing	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(4) Pretty Thing 11/2, Foaled May 3. €23,000 yearling, 78,000 gns 2-y-o, Calyx filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Sincerest. Dam unraced. Likely-looking newcomer on paper. Cost 78,000gns at last month's breeze-ups; trainer can ready one first time; a possible.
5th	3 5th (3) (28/1 +44%) Midnight Starlight	28 28/1(+44%)	(3) Midnight Starlight 28/1, 66/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. Bred to have a future but well beaten at 66-1 on recent debut at Thirsk.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

George Boughey has two runners here with Hello Youmzain filly Beronia possibly the pick of the two, but she will need to be a smart performer to get the better of SUBSTITUTE, even in receipt of 7lb. Charlie Johnston's filly made an excellent start to her career when scoring a shade cosily over C&D and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if she backed that performance up. Pretty Thing and Royalty Bay are others likely to make an impact on their racecourse bows.

SUBSTITUTE overcame inexperience and a tardy start when a ready winner over C&D 11 days ago and with the prospect of more to come, is very much the percentage call. The quartet of debutantes all make appeal on paper, particularly Beronia and Pretty Thing and the market may well help split them,

There are some interesting newcomers but C&D winner SUBSTITUTE sets a strong standard under her 7lb penalty and is taken to make it 2-2.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (12/1 -167%) Trueman	12 12/1(-167%)	(1) Trueman 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 3/1). Off 11 months. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara (sold for 6,500 gns in September). Had one run for William Haggas and three (won one) last April-June for David O'Meara.
1	4 1st (4) (7/4 +22%) Smart Deal	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(4) Smart Deal 7/4, Fair gelding. Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/2) 28 days ago. Hood back on. Expected to be bang there in this company. Below form latest outing; wore a hood earlier in career and it's now restored; considered.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/6 +76%) Poetic Force	0.833333 5/6(+76%)	(5) Poetic Force 5/6, Fair gelding. Course winner. 17/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 30 days ago, coming from further back than the trio that finished ahead of him. Needs considering. 10yo with 15 wins, including four last January (here) to August; usually thereabouts since.
3	3 3rd (3) (17/2 -42%) Silastar	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(3) Silastar 17/2, Well held last 4 starts, last of 8 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Plenty to prove currently. 1m2f double in turf handicaps last spring; subsequent efforts leave a lot to be desired.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -85%) Lafan	12 12/1(-85%)	(2) Lafan 12/1, Fair gelding. 16/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 82 days ago, weakening quickly. Others more persuasive. Inconsistency has crept in; tailed off when trying front-running in March on latest start.
5th	7 5th (7) (80/1 -60%) No Sinner	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) No Sinner 80/1, Limited gelding. Modest maiden last spring and not so good last autumn or when upped to 7f on reappearance.

Trueman is top-rated and comes out best even when the weights are taken into account, but he has been off for almost a year and has never raced on an artificial surface so POETIC FORCE is probably the safer option. Tony Carroll's veteran hasn't been far away in fourth the last twice and should relish the drop out of handicap company. The same can be said for Smart Deal, who might be the primary threat.

The obvious ones are SMART DEAL and Poetic Force, the former taken to make all from stall 1. Trueman remains unexposed starting out for a new yard and is worth a market check.

The most solid options appear to be the veteran POETIC FORCE and Chelmsford winner Smart Deal, both in creditable form this spring.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (8/1 +20%) Steppenwolf	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Steppenwolf 8/1, Winning hurdler/fair maiden chaser for Gavin Patrick Cromwell (sold 21,500 gns in February). Opposable off current mark starting out for new connections. Winning hurdler but inferior chase form in eight attempts; stable debut after wind op.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +18%) Exmoor Forest	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(5) Exmoor Forest 9/2, Winner of Warwick maiden hurdle last season. In-and-out since, though his fourth at Chepstow on chasing debut offered encouragement, so he's worthy of consideration with improvement on the cards. Disappointing hurdler but last month's chase debut at Chepstow was encouraging.
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 -25%) Magic Dancer	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Magic Dancer 20/1, Form nosedived after he landed a Cheltenham handicap at the beginning of his 2022/23 campaign, and this veteran is probably worth taking on, for all that he has slipped to a dangerous mark. Out of form during light campaign last season and last month's run was no better.
4	8 4th (8) (17/2 -55%) Iron Heart	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(8) Iron Heart 17/2, Back to form back over hurdles when readily scoring at Market Rasen and backed that up with good second back over fences at Bangor. Possibly found his recent busy spell catching up with him at Huntingdon since but turned out relatively quickly again. Reappears only nine days after running moderately at Huntingdon.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/2 -86%) Ballinsker	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(3) Ballinsker 13/2, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark returned to fences in 7-runner handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 38 days ago, the refitting of cheekpieces back down in trip and less testing ground having a positive effect. Remains potentially well treated up 3 lb. Returned to form with front-running C&D win last month; high on the list.
6th	6 6th (6) (15/2 +38%) Jack The Savage	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(6) Jack The Savage 15/2, Won 2m handicap hurdle at Huntingdon in October. Failed badly to back that up next 2 starts and it was a rather hollow second at Hereford on return. Not an obvious chasing type. Capable hurdler; not bred for fences but a fair shout should he fancy it.
7th	1 7th (1) (12/1 -118%) Dan's Chosen	12 12/1(-118%)	(1) Dan's Chosen 12/1, Triple chase in 2023, jumping fluently for latest of them in October. Presumably having a pipe-opener back over hurdles after 6 months off at Taunton 5 weeks ago and better expected now. Four chase wins; this race is a better fit than the novice hurdle he contested last time.
8th	9 8th (9) (3/1 +40%) Boston Joe	3 3/1(+40%)	(9) Boston Joe 3/1, Remains a sketchy jumper over fences but capitalised on some lenient handicapping to enhance his good course record here in 11-runner handicap chase (16f, good to soft, 9/2) earlier this month. Pulled up quickly at Bangor 11 days ago but presumably all is well. Recent course winner; struggles with consistency but has a big run in him.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 +25%) Blue Shark	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) Blue Shark 9/1, Highly progressive over hurdles in 2022/23 but badly out of form last season so plenty to prove switched to fences. 6-17 over hurdles but nothing positive to take out of his last five runs; chase debut.

Iron Heart finished an excellent second over 3m at Bangor before posting a below-par effort at Huntingdon just three days later, but the quick turnaround may have been his undoing on that occasion and better can be expected. Preference, though, is for BALLINSKER. Evan Williams' charge put in a front-running exhibition when a game winner over C&D last month and, upped 3lb, another bold showing looks imminent. Steppenwolf is a fascinating contender on his debut for the David Pipe team and he cannot be overlooked lightly.

BALLINSKER bounced back to form re-united with this rider when scoring over C&D last month and remains potentially well treated up 3 lb. Exmoor Forest offered plenty to work on starting out over fences when fourth at Chepstow and rates the main threat ahead of Dan's Chosen, who should be much closer to form after his comeback spin over hurdles.

Most of these have chances but the ex-Irish STEPPENWOLF might yet turn a corner over fences for his new yard.

1	2 1st (2) (8/13 +15%) Chilled Out	0.615385 8/13(+15%)	(2) Chilled Out 8/13, First run since leaving Alexandra Dunn and caused a surprise (stablemate of the favourite) when winning 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 8 days ago, kept up to work. Carries penalty but retains plenty of handicap scope. 25-1 win on last week's stable debut at Yarmouth; strong claims if able to back that up.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 +0%) Loddon	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(4) Loddon 7/2, Strong in the betting but brushed aside when sixth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, soft) 29 days ago. Eased 2 lb and dominating this field will be easier. Good third at Beverley last month and her next run at Pontefract may have come too soon.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/2 -10%) Jewel Maker	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Jewel Maker 11/2, Shaped as though in need of the run when fifth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Pontefract (10f, soft) 29 days ago. Will step up on that and just 1 lb above last successful mark. Two wins last year; may have needed reappearance fifth and he's not discounted.
4	1 4th (1) (25/1 -79%) Man Of A'an	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Man Of A'an 25/1, Last of 9 in handicap (22/1) at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 38 days ago. Back up in trip with hood on for the first time. Tailed off on both runs this spring; transformation needed in the new hood.

A small field may see this turn tactical and if that is the case, Loddon may try to make all the running and have an easy time of it on the front end. CHILLED OUT showed some serious improvement to win on his first start for Michael Wigham following wind surgery and a 5lb penalty may not stop him from following up. Jewel Maker has to do more, but with eight career wins he is hard to ignore.

JEWEL MAKER is sure to step up on his reappearance, and just 1 lb above his last winning mark, he's preferred to last-time-out winner Chilled Out at the forecast prices.

Having made a winning start for Michael Wigham last week, this looks a good opportunity for CHILLED OUT to follow up.

Dam, 11.5f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Alder. Last of 6 in maiden (33/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 50 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Always behind over 5f on debut (AW) but Rossa Ryan booked and this trip more suitable.

Thecoffeepoddotco's Ripon fourth sets the bar but while it offered some encouragement, the standard isn't exactly insurmountable. The Gosdens are beginning to get their two-year-olds out and Gonna Fly Now is bred to be quick, but Archie Watson could hold all the aces and even though Wathbah is related to several useful performers, DEL RAY gets the vote. The daughter of Kameko is a half-sister to an Albany runner-up, as well as a couple of Listed-winning juveniles, so should hit the ground running.

Those with experience don't set a high standard so this could go to a newcomer with some well-bred sorts on show, Del Ray, Gonna Fly Now and Wathbah making the most appeal before market clues.

This looks ripe for one of the newcomers and DEL RAY is tentatively preferred to Naturally and Gonna Fly Now.

Has failed to build on that, though, only sixth of 9 in Wincanton novice 39 days ago. Goes chasing with a bit to prove. First poor show last time (April); needs overall improvement on this chase/handicap debut.

Current mark probably doesn't leave much wiggle room now going chasing but respected all the same. Absent since October; makes chase debut and it looks as if he needs good ground or firmer.
3	6 3rd (6) (2/1 +27%) The Gypsy Davey	2 2/1(+27%)	(6) The Gypsy Davey 2/1, Point winner who defied a penalty to make it 2 from 2 over hurdles at Hereford in January.

4	5 4th (5) (20/1 +39%) Rathmacknee	20 20/1(+39%)	(5) Rathmacknee 20/1, Mixed record over hurdles for Nicky Henderson no real impact in a handful of appearances for new connections last season (often finds little). Dead-heated in Irish point but opposable on chase bow. Chase debut and looks none too solid, although there are notable chasers in his family.
5th	1 5th (1) (17/2 -6%) Give Me A Moment	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(1) Give Me A Moment 17/2, Useful chaser at best but declined last season. Not disgraced off lower hurdles mark at Huntingdon last month but others make more appeal. 5-19 as chaser; best efforts and results have been dominated by races on good ground.
6th	4 6th (4) (3/1 +0%) Fearless	3 3/1(+0%)	(4) Fearless 3/1, Has slipped in the weights and returned to form back from a break when close third at Kelso 3 weeks ago. Player off same mark. 1-13 over fences; close third at Kelso (good) three weeks ago and has good chance on that.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 -273%) Showbusiness	28 28/1(-273%)	(3) Showbusiness 28/1, Belatedly off the mark over hurdles at Punchestown 2 years ago for Gordon Elliott. Well held at Ffos Las 12 months later on yard debut but encouraging chase debut back from another lay-off when runner-up at Chepstow in November. Ran no sort of race there following month, however, and off since. Three runs for yard, far and away the best of those when second on chase debut in November.

THE GYPSY DAVEY performed with credit when finishing third over 2m3f at Market Rasen on his chasing debut last week, just giving best on the run-in, and easing in trip off the same mark, he can go two places better. This represents a drop in grade for Fearless and he cannot be dismissed on the back of an excellent placed effort over 2m1f at Kelso, while the consistent Nibras Gold also merits consideration on his debut over the larger obstacles.

THE GYPSY DAVEY might have lost his unbeaten record when third on his chase/handicap bow at Market Rasen last week, but it was still a promising start in this sphere, and this looks a good opportunity with most of his rivals arriving with something to prove. Fearless bounced back to form when a close third at Kelso 3 weeks ago and is the obvious threat.

This can go to THE GYPSY DAVEY (nap), who followed his two wins over hurdles with a solid third place on his chase debut.

Likely to build on that so has to be taken very seriously. Yet to threaten but could improve for this month's reappearance run; not ruled out.

9th	3 9th (3) (9/2 +0%) Medician Star	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Medician Star 9/2, Shaped quite well on reappearance at Lingfield but proved to be a disappointment when eighth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 37 days ago.

FIRST ENCOUNTER looks likely to go well despite carrying 1lb more than his allotted mark. Put in his place when second at Redcar on his first run for six months, he was a long way clear of the third and has every chance in his attempt to gain his first career success. Medician Star might go close in first-time cheekpieces under the in-form Danny Tudhope, while Bitcoin Profit has a win to his name this season and cannot be ignored back on turf.

LADY OF TIME shaped much better than a fifth-placed finish would suggest on reappearance at Redcar a month ago and, expected to build on that, she looks the answer. Medician Star has headgear on for the first time and he's a threat, with First Encounter despite being just out of the weights.

Preference is for FIRST ENCOUNTER who ran well when runner-up over C&D last time. Medician Star is feared most.

In a moderate event, marginal preference is for DAME DARCEY, who showed promise when filling third place over this trip at Salisbury last time. Given that the second from that contest has won since, Ed Walker's filly merits plenty of respect off a 2lb lower mark. Call Me The Breeze could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Pannonica and War Zone.

CALL ME THE BREEZE has promised more with the way she's travelled on both outings this term and she may be capable of defying her lowly mark now dropped back to 6f in a weak race. Dame Darcy and Pannonica look the chief dangers.

Tom Ward's CALL ME THE BREEZE (nap) has threatened better and she is preferred to Moreginplease.

Not beaten far on each of his last three starts, including twice at this track, THATZA DAZZLER deserves a change in luck and as long as he handles the potentially quicker ground on this occasion, the six-year-old looks the one to be with. Danny's Friend only weakened late on into fourth when delivering a career-best effort at Stratford and he is of interest on handicap debut, along with Come To Pass.

THATZA DAZZLER is the most solid option after a couple of recent placed efforts, including over C&D. Ocean Heights remains one who could click over hurdles given his bumper/Flat ability and he's a possible threat. The unexposed Danny's Friend may prove best of the rest.

Consistency counts for a lot at this lowly level and THATZA DAZZLER has finished bang there on his last three starts.

Off 8 months and gelded ahead of this debut for new yard. Others look stronger. Promising start to career somewhat tailed off, but not written off for new yard on return.

Ey Up Its The Boss scored over C&D last time and another bold bid can be expected, but he may struggle to defy a 5lb penalty for that head success. Therefore the preference is for LOYAL TOUCH, who was a good second over the extended 1m2f at Chester on his penultimate start - the winner has since confirmed that form - and the four-year-old might prove a tough nut to crack, should he arrive here in similar form. Titian could also have a say off 4lb lower than his last winning mark.

LOYAL TOUCH wasn't disgraced in a competitive contest at York and he gets the nod ahead of Titian and Cockalorum.

The mare ZARABANDA won three times on soft going last season and earns the vote now back in a handicap and back on slow ground.

May well do better as a 3yo, so not a forlorn hope on return. Promise in two 6f AW runs as a 2yo; big step forward needed to trouble Dorney Lake.

DORNEY LAKE created a big impression when getting off the mark over this distance at Yarmouth recently and the son of Ardad is hard to oppose, despite having to carry a 7lb penalty. The Cutest was not disgraced on either of her starts as a juvenile and Andrew Balding's filly should not be discounted, while any market support for Balmoral Lady would have to be noted.

DORNEY LAKE took a sizeable step forward when off the mark readily at Yarmouth on return and he should have little trouble following up with a tongue strap applied. The Cutest is open to improvement and probably the main danger, while Balmoral Lady makes some appeal on pedigree.

This looks a good opportunity for DORNEY LAKE to defy a penalty for his impressive Yarmouth win. The Cutest can chase him home.

Firmly on the up and should take all the beating in hat-trick bid. Up in the weights for winning his last two but only a 5yo and has more to offer.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 +45%) Kepagge	11 11/1(+45%)	(1) Kepagge 11/1, Won twice over hurdles last spring. Struggled over fences in more recent times and returned to smaller obstacles with a tame effort at Kempton 24 days ago. He didn't take to fences and was no better on a recent return to hurdling.
3	8 3rd (8) (20/1 -43%) Coup De Gold	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Coup De Gold 20/1, Snapped losing run at Sedgefield (16.8f) in January and held form since, in the process of producing a creditable stable debut (had left David Thompson) when falling in a handicap here last time. Not dismissed. 11-2 for stable debut over 2m here recently and was still in contention when falling.

Back to form when second to Jasmin de Grugy over C&D last time but might find it tough to turn the tables. No answer to Jasmin De Grugy over C&D 23 days ago and there are others to worry about.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -25%) Mourzouk	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Mourzouk 25/1, Much improved when racking up a hat-trick in April/May 2022 but back from a long absence with a couple of tame displays last season. Has had another 5 months off and it's hard to know how much ability he retains. Needs good ground and could stage a revival should conditions remain favourable.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 +0%) Rascal	9 9/1(+0%)	(3) Rascal 9/1, Fair hurdler who produced a solid showing at Huntingdon in April but failed to back it up at Perth last time. Not one to completely write off. Soft ground possibly against him last time; runner-up off 3lb lower the time before.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +8%) Gavin	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Gavin 11/1, Landed a hat-trick around this time last year, the second two wins coming at this track. Generally held form in the winter and is one to be interested in if the market speaks in his favour after 6 months off. Bit to prove over 2m4f but this is his time of year and he's well handicapped.

Seen only twice over hurdles since but latest effort was respectable and he could do better now handicapping up in trip. Positive 4th in latest maiden and returns to further for handicap debut; that's a plus.

JASMIN DE GRUGY continues to go from strength to strength and an 8lb rise for his recent comfortable success at Uttoxeter may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick. Anthony Honeyball's charge can uphold form with Crossbeau (second) from his penultimate victory over C&D, despite being 18lb worse off at the weights for just over six lengths. Coup De Gold and Rascal have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

JASMIN DE GRUGY arrives on an upward curve and has already tasted success here, so he seems an obvious choice as he bids for a quick hat-trick. Gavin is of interest returning to a track where he boasts a good record and Crossbeau deserves respect for all that he was firmly put in his place by the selection last time.

The progressive Jasmin De Grugy is the obvious answer but CHANCYCOURT ran better last time ahead of this handicap debut.

LA LA LUCRATIVE ran a good race when he was beaten just a neck over 6f at Catterick last week and this looks a good opportunity to go one better today. Gemma Tutty's charge looks primed to offer another bold bid, especially being 3lb well-in compared to future events. Raft Up won over 6f at Newcastle earlier this month but a 5lb rise may not be easy to overcome, while Woodleigh is also capable of staking a claim.

If able to build on his improved effort at Catterick last week LA LA LUCRATIVE will prove a tough nut to crack off the same mark. Raft Up also showed improved form when striking at Newcastle earlier this month and he is next on the list ahead of Vintage Love.

The unexposed LA LA LUCRATIVE (nap) went close at Catterick last week and is taken to go one better here. War Memorial is a danger.

SO OBSESSED only found one too good when attempting to supplement a Wolverhampton win over C&D a couple of weeks ago and Marco Botti's filly tops the shortlist off the same mark here. That said, Milliethemollie also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and should not be underestimated. Restricted was a neck behind the selection two starts ago and edges out Musical Diva to be best of the rest.

SO OBSESSED is on the up and was only beaten by an improver over C&D last time, so she's the one to side with under Oisin Murphy. Milliethemollie should be a danger having returned to form at Bath recently and Musical Diva isn't without hope.

Ten O'Clock can go well but MILLIETHEMOLLIE is marginally preferred now dropping into a Class 6.

A tentative vote goes to BRIDGET MARY, who drops in trip after a highly creditable second at Stratford, where she looked the likely winner, only to be collared late in the piece. The Rebecca Curtis-trained six-year-old may be able to dictate this contest and she gets the vote ahead of Huntingdon runner-up Valentine Getaway, as well as Faerie Cutlass, who shaped well on her first run back from a break at Ludlow last month. Others to note include Jolie Baie, Of Course You Can and Rubys Reward.

Plenty with claims here, including BRIDGET MARY, who found some improvement when runner-up at Stratford last time and remains fairly treated. Valentine Getaway and Of Course You Can head the list of dangers.

A good few with chances but OF COURSE YOU CAN has run well the last twice and given the impression that this trip should suit.

FELIX DESJY stands out dropping to this level. The 11-year-old made little impact when last seen in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham in 2023, after a couple of jumping errors. He had run well off a mark of 140 in handicap company at Navan previously, though, and retains enough ability to make him the one to beat in this. Vado Forte has been put in off a low weight and looks the danger. He ran off a mark of 124 over fences recently and is a previous course winner. Tom McGreevy is another who looks on a nice weight with Tom Harney taking off 7lb and he also has to enter calculations.

FELIX DESJY has an absence to overcome but could easily prove too good for these. Vado Forte is next best ahead of Clever Currency.

Preference is for VADO FORTE who is very well in on his chase form despite not being at his best last twice

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (22/1 -120%) Tilsworth Turf	22 22/1(-120%)	(6) Tilsworth Turf 22/1, Winner at Leicester in April. 40/1, pulled up in handicap at Leicester (6f, good) 19 days ago. Claims if he puts his best foot forward but his profile is too up-and-down for comfort. Pulled up last time (reportedly took false step); 125-1 win on soft ground the time before.
1	4 1st (4) (4/5 +84%) Run This Way	0.8 4/5(+84%)	(4) Run This Way 4/5, 13/2, much improved when winning 14-runner handicap at Redcar (6f, soft) 2 days ago, readily. Visor goes on and will need to pull out more if she's to follow up under a penalty. Won with something to spare at Redcar on Tuesday; key player if repeating that form.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +0%) Hurstwood	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Hurstwood 8/1, Three-time C&D winner. Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 14/1) 17 days ago. Place possibilities. Won this last year; one to be interested in if the ground dries.
3	10 3rd (10) (17/2 -21%) Fylingdale	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(10) Fylingdale 17/2, 11/1, seventh of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Will be a threat if getting away on terms here. Could do with breaking better but has shown promise in big fields at Thirsk the last twice.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -60%) Fircombe Hall	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Fircombe Hall 16/1, Latest win at Newcastle in May. Ninth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Catterick (7f, good) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Two AW wins this spring but just 1-20 on grass and mid-division back on turf last time.
5th	11 5th (11) (22/1 -120%) Hard Solution	22 22/1(-120%)	(11) Hard Solution 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 12/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 13 days ago. Not discounted. Won AW classified in March; some reasonable handicap form since but needs something extra.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -100%) Variety Island	14 14/1(-100%)	(8) Variety Island 14/1, Latest win at Catterick in April. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (6/1) at Catterick (7f, good) 17 days ago. One to consider off the same mark. Positive efforts at Catterick the last twice; something to prove if slow ground prevails.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 +0%) Ernest Rutherford	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Ernest Rutherford 7/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good, 13/2) 17 days ago, never nearer. Chance if rediscovering old form. Has a regressive profile but ran okay last time and the step back up to 6f is worth a go.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 -250%) Gunnerside	28 28/1(-250%)	(2) Gunnerside 28/1, 10/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft). Off 8 months. Now 4 lb below last winning mark and he needs considering. Two wins last spring but patchy form from June onwards and returns from absence.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 +24%) West End Lass	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) West End Lass 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, 5 lengths eighth of 12 to Fircombe Hall in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 27 days ago. Makes turf debut. Soundly beaten this spring in both handicaps (6f, AW); has to raise her game; turf debut.
10th	5 10th (5) (20/1 -186%) Protest Rally	20 20/1(-186%)	(5) Protest Rally 20/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 10/1) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Each-way squeak. Fair runs the last twice; each-way claims if handling conditions (unproven on slow turf).

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

PROTEST RALLY blew his chances at the start when beaten just fewer than two lengths over 5f at Hamilton earlier this month and he would hold solid credentials with a more alert start on this occasion. Liam Bailey's charge has been eased by the handicapper which could be the perfect tonic. Ernest Rutherford shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when sixth over 5f at Catterick last time and he can get involved, while Fircombe Hall is also worthy of consideration.

A chance is taken on FYLINGDALE, who has caught the eye with her finishing effort the last twice and she looks capable of exploiting this attractive mark if breaking more sharply this time. Gunnerside has also edged down the weights and he is feared most ahead of Variety Island.

Slow ground will be ideal for TILSWORTH TURF, who was a 125-1 winner on soft going at Leicester two starts ago.

Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Uphill task. Maiden winner last summer for a different yard; well beaten this season.
2	17 2nd (17) (6/1 +57%) Lady Christa	6 6/1(+57%)	(17) Lady Christa 6/1, 11/2, bit below form trying front-running tactics for the first time when fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 6 months ago. Has threatened once before but having first run since November and looks best watched.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 +0%) Complete Fiction	11 11/1(+0%)	(2) Complete Fiction 11/1, 14/1, made little impression when ninth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Must bounce back. Galway Festival winner last year and he's entitled to be sharper for his comeback run.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -13%) French Company	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) French Company 18/1, Course winner. 12/1, shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (12.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Last season was a good one but now finds himself high in the weights.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 +12%) Out On Friday	22 22/1(+12%)	(7) Out On Friday 22/1, Course winner but out of sorts since scoring at Tramore last summer. Often goes well here but has some questions to answer after a run of heavy defeats.
6th	4 6th (4) (3/1 +40%) Master Dunraven	3 3/1(+40%)	(4) Master Dunraven 3/1, 6/1, opened his account from a career-low mark after 6 months off in 18-runner handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago, winning with a bit more in hand than the bare margins imply. Handicapper reacted with an 8 lb rise but certainly not dismissed. Won nicely at Navan but an 8lb rise asks a question and he's drawn wide.
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 +0%) Encosta	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(3) Encosta 13/2, 6/1, improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Leopardstown (10f, good) 13 days ago, awarded the race in the stewards room after meeting trouble approaching final 1f. Should be bang there again. Up 6lb for latest success (1m2f) when interfered with and ultimately promoted.
8th	15 8th (15) (8/1 -7%) Storm Eric	8 8/1(-7%)	(15) Storm Eric 8/1, Shaped as if still in good form after 4 months off when fifth of 16 in handicap (9/2) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Back up in trip. It was a good recent run at Leopardstown over 1m and returning to further is a positive.
9th	1 9th (1) (13/2 +35%) Alma Libre	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(1) Alma Libre 13/2, C&D winner. 12/1, turned in a rare poor effort when fifteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 9 months ago. Enters calculations if ready to roll. Won this last year but lacks a run and recent rain has done her few favours.
14	14 \|U\| (14) (18/1 -50%) Mr Mills	18 18/1(-50%)	(14) Mr Mills 18/1, Produced a laboured effort when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, soft, 4/1) 8 months ago (reportedly finished lame). Not taken lightly on return. Dual 1m2f winner, at Dundalk/Navan; most recent efforts not his best but can go well fresh.
10th	9 10th (9) (10/1 -25%) Gunsight	10 10/1(-25%)	(9) Gunsight 10/1, 10/1, shaped better than the bare result back under a fully-fledged rider when sixth of 8 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good) 15 days ago, no room entering straight. Dropped 2 lb for that effort and every chance he can feature. Twice runner-up at Killarney, latterly in a 1m handicap off 6lb higher.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 +0%) Blackberry Jack	25 25/1(+0%)	(11) Blackberry Jack 25/1, 66/1, always behind going without headgear after 7 months off at Killarney (16.8f, soft) 16 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Career-low mark to work with but will need a big step forward. Better trip than the 2m1f he ran over on the Flat at Killarney but remains opposable.
12th	13 12th (13) (66/1 -32%) Cu Chulainn	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) Cu Chulainn 66/1, Well held all 3 starts this year so can only be watched. Dual winner on the AW in Britain but has offered precious little since arriving in Ireland.

Respected having a rare turf start. Won at Dundalk in April; never been as profilic on turf hence this lower mark.
14th	10 14th (10) (25/1 +24%) Morning Soldier	25 25/1(+24%)	(10) Morning Soldier 25/1, Ran no sort of race in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Easy to look elsewhere making a rare Flat start these days. Hasn't been in great form over hurdles; first Flat start since last August when well held.

ENCOSTA was awarded her last race at Leopardstown in the stewards' room after being badly checked at the business end. That was a much-improved effort on better ground and she is due to encounter the same trip and ground, so should be right in the thick of it off 6lb higher. Power Drive made all and swept home by four lengths in Dundalk last month. He's not exactly drawn to attack in stall 14, but competes off just 2lb higher and is clearly in good humour. Master Dunraven is 8lb higher after delivering in Navan and ought to have a part to play, while Storm Eric is a consistent horse and his turf mark is 17lb lower than his all-weather rating.

A host in with chances but it could pay to side with GUNSIGHT, who shaped better than the bare result when sixth at Sligo just over a fortnight ago and Michael O'Meara's 4-y-o can open his account at the expense of Alma Libre, who needs to leave a rare-poor effort behind at the Curragh when last seen 9 months ago but returns on a handy mark. Encosta and Mr Mills are another couple to consider, too.

The 4yo MASTER DUNRAVEN is drawn wide and 8lb higher than at Navan, but he did look a horse well ahead of his mark that day.

PAMPAR LADY fell before the action heated up at Tipperary last time, but was still travelling then and is up to winning a race of this standard. The Malinas mare had run a big race at Tramore previously when pushing Gaillimh A Run to half a length and has been placed in her three completed starts over timber. Drumgill is another with solid placed form who has to be on the shortlist. He chased home Wandering Rocks at Ballinrobe last time and had Break The Boundary in behind when runner-up at Bellewstown last month. Field A Thistles may improve from her initial run over hurdles in Cork and is another to consider.

PAMPAR LADY would have gone close but for falling 3 out at Tipperary 2 weeks ago and can make amends if none the worse. Drumgill and Field A Thistles are feared most.

The selection is PAMPAR LADY (nap), unlucky at Tramore and going well when falling at Tipperary last time

Having returned to form when scoring over 5f at Hamilton earlier this month, Giselles Izzy commands respect raised only 1lb for that head success, but a chance can be taken on COUNT D'ORSAY. Tim Easterby's runner has plummeted down the handicap after struggling to beat many rivals home so far this term, but a return to any kind of form would see the eight-year-old go close off a lowly mark of 70 - he won rated 75 last July - with Thomas Easterby claiming a useful 5lb. Burj Malinka is also worthy of consideration.

BURJ MALINKA continues in form and could be the way to go. Willingly and Hamilton winner Giselles Izzy are a couple of the other likely players.

The vote goes to WILLINGLY who is suited by testing ground, is on a fair mark and should have no problem with the return to 5f.

Up in trip. Can give a good account. Disappointing in two handicap attempts, has finished in front of only one rival both times.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 +0%) Sinbad My Dad	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Sinbad My Dad 16/1, Got back on track to a certain extent after 6 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 10/1) 16 days ago. Up in trip. Must build on that. Did not get the best of runs over 1m at Killarney, may improve over the extra two furlongs.
4	8 4th (8) (18/1 -50%) Ringside Timing	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Ringside Timing 18/1, 8/1, failed to improve back up in trip when sixth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Now exposed after nine defeats, cheekpieces for the first time, improvement required.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/5 +47%) Naturally Nimble	1.2 6/5(+47%)	(1) Naturally Nimble 6/5, Ran well when second of 9 in maiden (6/4) at Navan (10.1f, good) 12 days ago. Looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark so every chance he can go one better. Beaten only a head over this trip at Navan last time, opening mark seems reasonable.
6th	10 6th (10) (13/2 +24%) Dont Do Dramas	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(10) Dont Do Dramas 13/2, Latest win at Sligo in May. Ran at least as well in defeat when third of 9 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, good, 11/2) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly. Won 1m2f Sligo handicap early this month, 1m4f probably stretched his stamina at Roscommon.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -78%) Northern Sonas	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) Northern Sonas 16/1, Matched reappearance effort when third of 6 in maiden (4/1) at Limerick (11.2f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to improvement having had only three runs, placed twice, makes handicap debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -80%) Kiki Roberts	18 18/1(-80%)	(7) Kiki Roberts 18/1, Possibly needed the run over 3f longer trip after 7 months off when sixth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 25/1) just under 7 weeks ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Navan maiden winner over an extended 5f at two, handicap form has been uninspiring.
9th	9 9th (9) (7/1 -56%) Gushing	7 7/1(-56%)	(9) Gushing 7/1, 9/2, shaped better than the distance beaten suggest when third of 10 on handicap debut at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 16 days ago, possibly making his effort earlier than ideal. Up in trip. Closely matched with Sinbad My Dad on Kiilarney form, may improve if ground stays good.

NATURALLY NIMBLE is 6lb clear on official ratings and has bright prospects here. The form of his close second in Navan looks strong as the horse that pipped him was previously second to a subsequent Listed-placed horse. American Pharoah filly Gushing can get in the mix up in trip on better ground for powerful connections. Barnso should come on from an unplaced run in a higher grade at Naas, while Tachos makes her handicap debut off a mark of 72 and has shown enough to suggest she will be competitive. Dont Do Dramas is in decent nick after winning at Sligo and finishing third in Roscommon and goes to work off a light weight.

NATURALLY NIMBLE went down by just a head in a Navan maiden 12 days ago and with better to come now handicapping, Joseph O'Brien's charge is fancied to go a place better. Dont Do Dramas arrives in fine form, so he could give the selection most to think about, with Gushing another to consider stepping up to 1¼m for the first time.

Good ground may make a crucial difference for GUSHING though she does not have much to spare over Sindad My Dad on Killarney form

1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +33%) Prince De Juilley	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Prince De Juilley 4/1, Maiden jumper but more encouraging signs when runner-up in handicap hurdles around 3¼m at Stratford and this course in recent weeks. Likely to be very competitive again. Point winner; maiden over hurdles but good efforts last twice (2nd here last time); chance.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +0%) Thirtyfour Thirty	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Thirtyfour Thirty 4/1, Fairly useful bumper winner for Nigel Twiston-Davies and found some improvement when opening his account over hurdles at Fontwell in in December. Best effort since when runner-up back at Fontwell (3¼m) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now. Clear second over 3m2f last time; should be suited by first-time cheekpieces; considered.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 +0%) Jessie Lightfoot	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(8) Jessie Lightfoot 9/2, Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver, scoring over fences at Taunton (3¼m) and Southwell (3m) in recent weeks. Same mark back hurdling. Needs considering. In good form in chases since rejoining current yard; well handicapped over hurdles.
4	9 4th (9) (11/2 +21%) Stiletto	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(9) Stiletto 11/2, Still a maiden under both codes but went agonisingly close in handicap hurdles at Fontwell (3¼m, good) and Wincanton (25f, soft) last autumn. Another sound effort when third of 7 over 3m at Taunton when last seen in November. Claims if returning from a break in similar form. Maiden; sound runs on good ground at up to 3m2f last autumn; could go well if tuned up.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -78%) Dynamite Kentucky	16 16/1(-78%)	(4) Dynamite Kentucky 16/1, Dual hurdles winner. Good second in a 3m Hexham handicap chase on his return from a long absence in April but pulled up at Ffos Las since. Reverts to hurdles now. Second in a chase after 432-day break last month; quite interesting back over hurdles.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -10%) Pottlerath	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Pottlerath 22/1, Completed a chase hat-trick at the start of last summer but more miss than hit since, including pulling up over fences at Hereford 23 days ago. Remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles sparks him back to life. Experienced hurdler/chaser; suited by good/fast ground; out of form but on a good mark.
7th	2 7th (2) (17/2 +15%) Marmalade Time	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(2) Marmalade Time 17/2, Steady improvement in novice hurdles, scoring at Doncaster (19.5f, heavy) in March. Her progress has come to a halt in 2 handicaps since (remote fourth last time) and now steps up in trip with cheekpieces added in a bid to get her career back on track. Novice winner in March; not as good since; takes marked step up in trip; cheekpieces tried.
8th	7 8th (7) (16/1 -100%) Samtara	16 16/1(-100%)	(7) Samtara 16/1, Improved over hurdles last spring, winning a Hereford handicap before finishing a fine second of 13 at Cheltenham. Pretty much his best run since when second of 7 in 3m Huntingdon handicap chase 3 weeks ago. Player if he can build on that now back over the smaller obstacles. 1-30 overall; good second over fences last time (good); well handicapped at present.
9th	12 9th (12) (50/1 +0%) Enforcement	50 50/1(+0%)	(12) Enforcement 50/1, Shows more temperament than ability these days and is hard to fancy from a long way out of the handicap. Fair third in a chase in December; faces stiff task from 17lb out of the handicap.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (20/1 -82%) Ladronne	20 20/1(-82%)	(1) Ladronne 20/1, Fair handicap chaser, scoring at Doncaster and second at Market Rasen (both 3m) in March. Only sixth at Sedgefield (21f) 3 weeks ago but he might fare better back up in trip on this return to hurdles. Latest win was a 3m chase; equally effective over hurdles; a possible.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (28/1 -40%) Fort Lauderdale	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Fort Lauderdale 28/1, Well held in bumpers (for Lucinda Russell) and 3 maiden hurdles. More chance now handicapping but his opening mark demands improvement. Modest efforts at up to 2m3f; top amateur booked; may improve for this trip on h'cap debut.

THIRTYFOUR THIRTY was beaten less than a length over this trip at Fontwell last time, despite making a couple of blunders. First-time cheekpieces may help him to concentrate and Syd Hosie's charge is taken to come out best. Prince De Juilley has been threatening to open his account and another good effort is expected on the back of a second here, while Jessie Lightfoot won over fences last time and is next best.

SAMTARA took a step back in the right direction over fences last time and has handicapping scope back hurdling having scored off 3 lb higher last spring. Jessie Ligfhtfoot will be a major threat if she can translate recent chase form over to the smaller obstacles. Prince de Juilley is next on the list.

The vote goes to JESSIE LIGHTFOOT, who has won two of her last three races over fences and is on a good mark back over hurdles.

JUST FOR LOVE can make a winning start over jumps. The Affinisea mare was heavily backed when taking a bumper at Galway last September. The penny dropped late on then as she asserted in the closing stages for a convincing success and she looks to have plenty of ability. Farfromnowhere is a danger coming here race-fit after her success in a Wexford bumper last month. The Shirocco mare did well to round the field then and get up in a tight finish. She already has jumping experience from a point-to-point victory. Cast A Spell has been placed twice over hurdles, most recently at Cork behind Jolie Jewel, and also has to be on the shortlist.

JUST FOR LOVE had a bit to spare when landing short odds on her Galway bumper debut last autumn and can follow up switched to hurdles on her return. Gordon Elliott's Disco Dancer shaped well when fourth on her Tipperary hurdle debut earlier in the month and is second choice ahead of point/bumper winner Farfromnowhere.

The one to beat is JUST FOR LOVE, decisive winner of a Galway bumper in September and looks a decent prospect

KISS ME MY LOVE made a very pleasing start to her career when she was beaten just more than a length over 5f at Hamilton on her racecourse debut and this looks a good opportunity for Charlie Johnston's charge to go one better. Larchill Lass is feared most after a brace of seconds on her two starts to date at Beverley and a win looks just around the corner for Karl Burke's runner, while her stablemate Party Bear makes most appeal of the newcomers.

KISS ME MY LOVE made a promising start at Hamilton and could be the one to beat with improvement likely. Larchill Lass won't be far away again, while stablemate Party Bear and Final Angel are interesting newcomers.

Preference is for KISS ME MY LOVE who finished well clear of the third when second of five on her Hamilton debut.

SIGNOR FERRARI may be the safest option in a claimer where plenty of horses have something to prove. He kept on well to make the breakthrough in an apprentice handicap over 7f at Cork last week and has placed form over this sort of trip in Dundalk. Alto Sax got his confidence boosted with a victory in a claiming maiden at Roscommon, but this is a much longer trip. His one previous effort over an extended 1m2f in Dundalk was inconclusive. Your Out Of Line has some upside after a close fourth over shorter in a claimer at Gowran Park. Sylkie flopped when favourite for that Gowran Park race and the blinkers have been left off now.

Preference is for SIGNOR FERRARI, who won with something in hand at Cork last week and has run well over this sort of trip before. Alto Sax and Your Out Of Line are feared most.

Two recent winners go head-to-head. SIGNOR FERRARI probably achieved more in winning a handicap than Alto Sax in a claimer

3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +13%) G A Henty	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) G A Henty 7/2, Lightly-raced 7-y-o who shaped well on first run since leaving Tom George when second in a maiden at Market Rasen (20.6f) in January. Yet to build on that but returns to calmer waters here. Point winner; 2nd over hurdles in January but disappointing since; chance.
4	13 4th (13) (20/1 -67%) St Just In Time	20 20/1(-67%)	(13) St Just In Time 20/1, Fair maiden on the level (stays 10f) and showed more than previously over hurdles when third in maiden at Wincanton (15.2f) a month ago. Could still have more to offer as he learns with experience in this sphere. Best run when third over 1m7f last time; needs to improve for this step up in trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -136%) Galway Reel	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Galway Reel 33/1, Half-brother to numerous winners and showed more than on debut when second in bumper at Fakenham. Only fourth in a novice at Uttoxeter on hurdling debut but should build on that at some point. Second in a bumper and fair fourth at 50-1 on hurdles debut this month; a possible.
6th	9 6th (9) (150/1 -200%) Politicianspromise	150 150/1(-200%)	(9) Politicianspromise 150/1, Tailed off in a maiden hurdle in Ireland in 2021 and won once from 10 starts in points subsequently. Fared no better making first start for his current yard when down the field in a Ffos Las novice (21.9f) 23 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Exposed maiden point winner; poor form over hurdles; best watched for now..

8th	3 8th (3) (50/1 -257%) Full Monty	50 50/1(-257%)	(3) Full Monty 50/1, Fourth of 13 in bumper at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) on NH debut. Only seventh at Taunton 7 months later and may need this initial experience of hurdling. Fair form in two bumpers; improvement needed on hurdles debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (250/1 -150%) Darcy's Glance	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Darcy's Glance 250/1, Well held all 3 starts in bumpers and no better since switched to hurdling. Modest efforts in bumpers and over hurdles; looks one for handicaps later on..

11th	1 11th (1) (20/1 -43%) Amarillobymorning	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Amarillobymorning 20/1, £58,000 buy after finishing second in his sole point in April 2022. Took a while to get to the track subsequently and shaped as if needing the run when third in a novice at Newbury on hurdling debut. Off a further 3 months since. Second (of three) in a point; long break before 3rd on hurdle/stable debut; more needed.
12th	6 12th (6) (100/1 -100%) Miami Jim	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Miami Jim 100/1, Quite well bred but failed to complete in a couple of points and only fifth in a novice at this course on hurdling debut. Likely to need more time. Failed to complete in 2 points; 24l fifth when 66-1 for hurdles debut; best watched.

Willie Mullins sends ONLYAMATTEROFTIME over from Ireland and the eight-year-old posted a better effort when dropped in class and finishing runner-up at Ballinrobe last month. With that in mind, he looks the one to beat in this company. Espoir Des Forges ran well for third over track and trip on his Rules debut and should go well again, while St Just In Time and Galway Reel may prove best of the rest.

ONLYAMATTEROFTIME is the clear form pick and, while there are reservations as to his temperament, he should have enough to make a winning start at the likely expense of G A Henty, who is the danger on ratings. Espoir des Forges is open to improvement and could feature.

The choice is G A HENTY who has been below par on his last two runs but was a fine second in a strong race at Market Rasen in January.

20	20 (20) (8/1 -7%) Must Be Dreaming	8 8/1(-7%)	(20) Must Be Dreaming 8/1, One win from 23 NH runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt if she gets in. RESERVE. Encouraging Tipperary comeback run, definite player if getting a run; reserve.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -10%) Del Girl	11 11/1(-10%)	(8) Del Girl 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, good ninth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 24 days ago, not knocked about. Remains with potential and warrants close inspection in the market. Opening two handicap efforts have been ordinary; longer trip could bring improvement.
19	19 (19) (14/1 -17%) Dark Image	14 14/1(-17%)	(19) Dark Image 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Bumper winner here but still struggling to find her level in handicap hurdles; reserve.
21	21 (21) (15/2 +0%) Across The Ocean	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(21) Across The Ocean 15/2, 14/1, very good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft) 14 days ago. Open to improvement. RESERVE. 0-9 but recent Clonmel comeback run gave definite cause for encouragement; reserve.
18	18 (18) (25/1 -25%) Trim To Milan	25 25/1(-25%)	(18) Trim To Milan 25/1, Respectable seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Tramore (21f, soft). Off 6 months. Likely to need the run. Modest overall form, though recent efforts off this basement mark mildly encouraging.
17	17 (17) (66/1 -65%) Take A Punt	66 66/1(-65%)	(17) Take A Punt 66/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy, 80/1) 140 days ago. Up against it. Veteran has looked regressive in recent times; back from a break and remains opposable.
1	2 1st (2) (11/1 +8%) Seasett	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Seasett 11/1, Fairly useful winner at 8f on flat. Pulled up in handicap chase at Downpatrick (19.4f, good, 17/2) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Likely to bounce back. Let down by jumping on chase debut latest and reverts to hurdles with ground concerns.
2	12 2nd (12) (7/1 +42%) Cullenwaine	7 7/1(+42%)	(12) Cullenwaine 7/1, 16/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft) 14 days ago. Not dismissed. Below best of late, more needed.
3	11 3rd (11) (6/1 +14%) Depeche Mo	6 6/1(+14%)	(11) Depeche Mo 6/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Wexford (17.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. Recent Wexford run hinted at a return to form although ideally wants an ease in the ground.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 -45%) A Nod To Getaway	4 4/1(-45%)	(7) A Nod To Getaway 4/1, 4/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.2f, heavy) 12 days ago, getting first run. Excellent chance of following up in a weak race. Recent Wexford winner likely more to offer at this longer trip; quicker ground though.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 +36%) Champagne Vacation	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Champagne Vacation 9/1, Seventh of 12 in handicap chase (7/1) at Thurles (20.5f, soft) on debut over fences. Off 7 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. 12-race maiden hurdler lacks a recent run and opposable.
6th	13 6th (13) (16/1 +20%) Kadys Dirha	16 16/1(+20%)	(13) Kadys Dirha 16/1, Sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Naas (19.3f, soft) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Last month's comeback run at Naas respectable but remains of limited appeal.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 -40%) Tropical Image	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Tropical Image 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, very good sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy). Off 7 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Lightly raced mare absent since October and opening mark looks on the high side.
8th	4 8th (4) (3/1 +57%) Stellar Symphony	3 3/1(+57%)	(4) Stellar Symphony 3/1, Winner in hurdle at Kilbeggan in September. 9/2, below form sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy) 175 days ago. Others preferred. Recent charity run outing should have her straight and one to consider.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 -60%) Onebrightbluerose	16 16/1(-60%)	(9) Onebrightbluerose 16/1, Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.2f, heavy, 25/1) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Claims if she can build on that. Let down by jumping on recent handicap debut at Wexford so needs to be more fluent here.
16	16 \|U\| (16) (28/1 +30%) Mourne Mist	28 28/1(+30%)	(16) Mourne Mist 28/1, 28/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (21f, heavy). Off 7 months. Yet to trouble the judge in 9 attempts hurdling, soundly beaten when last seen in October.
10th	15 10th (15) (18/1 +28%) Frazel Express	18 18/1(+28%)	(15) Frazel Express 18/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 38 days ago. Tramore specialist but 12yo has questions to answer at this stage.
11th	6 11th (6) (28/1 +15%) Daly Pursuit	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Daly Pursuit 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at Cork (19.2f, good, 125/1) 19 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Maiden form not progressive and hard to see her making an immediate impact in handicaps.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (14/1 +58%) Hesasmoothoperator	14 14/1(+58%)	(5) Hesasmoothoperator 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13½ lengths tenth of 11 to A Nod To Getaway in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Wexford (17.2f, heavy) 12 days ago, inadequate test. Never sighted on handicap debut at Wexford 12 days ago, lots more needed.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (20/1 +50%) Knock On Steel	20 20/1(+50%)	(14) Knock On Steel 20/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, first run since leaving R. Donohoe when tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.2f, heavy) 99 days ago. Lightly raced in recent years and his best seems long behind him.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (66/1 -100%) Hamazing	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Hamazing 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (20.2f, soft) 136 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Hard to derive much encouragement from the form of three maiden hurdle runs.

Not the strongest looking contest and A NOD TO GETAWAY may be able bag a follow-up win. The Getaway gelding was a game winner at Wexford last time, when holding Rightfolksplease by a neck, with the front two pulling a few lengths clear. Judging by the jockey's comments afterwards, better ground and slightly further should suit now. Depeche Mo didn't run too badly when staying on into fourth at Wexford and is another who might benefit from better ground now and a step up in trip. Champagne Vacation had a couple of decent runs in competitive races last autumn and dropping into this bottom grade for the first time, he could play a part.

A NOD TO GIFT improved to open his account at Wexford last time and he looks the obvious answer to a race that lacks depth. Del Girl shaped quite well at Down Royal last time and appeals as the sort to do better when the market speaks in her favour, whiel Seasett isn't without hope returning to the smaller obstacles.

One of the few progressive types looks to be recent A NOD TO GETAWAY, who could have more to offer now upped in trip

Beaten favourite at York after her successful Newmarket debut; major chance down in grade.

4	4 4th (4) (4/1 -14%) Rex Carver	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Rex Carver 4/1, Expert Eye gelding. Closely related to smart 6f winner Staxton and 7f winner Satin Snake and half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Lazarus Bell. Well-backed 7/4, second of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good) on debut 10 days ago. Should improve. Second of ten on his Redcar debut, but beaten 5l by the winner; improvement needed.

Having been sent off favourite in Listed company last time, this looks a good opportunity for IT AIN'T TWO to gain some compensation for connections. Hugo Palmer's runner scored on her first taste of racecourse experience over 5f at Newmarket in a race that has thrown up three subsequent winners and she looks set to get back to winning ways. Rex Carver is feared most after a decent second on debut over 6f at Redcar, while Almanjoor heads the remainder.

Newmarket debut winner IT AIN'T TWO wasn't beaten far from a poor draw at York and she can get back on the up with victory. Rex Carver looks the danger being open to improvement from his first run at Redcar when well backed.

This can go to IT AIN'T TWO who had excuses when a beaten favourite in a York Listed contest last time.

MADAME PLAINTIFF was successful on penultimate start in Gowran Park and showed that her new mark isn't beyond her when a fair fourth in a higher class at the Curragh. She has the best draw in stall one, so jockey Robert Whearty has options. Vivienda has ability and this new trip could unlock it as her half brother won over 7f in Gowran Park. Elegant Madame has been highly tried since getting off the mark on debut at Lingfield last summer and should appreciate these calmer waters, while Velvet Skies is more than capable of banking a cheque.

A wide-open handicap with the vote going to MASOUN, who will hopefully settle better without the blinkers on this time and his mark is a very fair one on the pick of his form. Mark's One also has a bigger performance in him, with Auburn Avenue completing the shortlist.

It's easy to make cases for a whole host of these and AUBURN AVENUE could easily improve on her first handicap run at the Curragh.

Swearer was still in contention when falling three out at Fakenham on his handicap bow and could figure in this. The vote, though, goes to BLOW YOUR HORN, who has proven himself to be a useful stayer on the Flat and recent hurdles efforts suggest he is capable of striking off his initial jumping mark. Prairie Diamond is another who may do better now handicapping for the first time.

This is highly likely to boil down to a head-to-head between BLOW YOUR HORN and Let It Shine. Preference is for the former, who appears to be gradually getting the hang of things in this sphere and he makes plenty of appeal with headgear enlisted off a potentially handy mark now handicapping. Let It Shine has been give a helping hand by the assessor and he will be a big threat if fully tuned-up for this yard debut, while Prairie Diamond is best of the rest.

The handicap hurdle newcomers PRAIRIE DIAMOND and Blow Your Horn look the most interesting candidates in a weak race.

Top-weight PHOENIX COWBOY looks very well treated on handicap debut if primed for his first run since last September. Having had just the three starts over hurdles for current connections, the former 90-rated Flat horse looks to be leniently treated off 109 in this discipline. Recent Downpatrick winner That's About Right should be competitive if coping with the drop in trip. Successful over three furlongs further last time, he will need to be sharper here. Conor Owens can claim an additional 3lb now, which should help negate the 5lb rise the gelding received for winning. Wa Wa should be straighter here following a promising return at Tipperary recently.

SON OF HYPNOS was a good third over 2m at Punchestown last week and might prove the answer to this handicap with the step back up in trip in his favour. Penalised Downpatrick winner That's About Right should go well if coping with the quick turnaround. Missus Beeton also makes the shortlist, while the Charles Byrnes-trained The Mass Path would also enter the reckoning should the betting speak in his favour.

Open-looking with preference is for BETTY DUTTON, who has her ground and shaped nicely on her recent comeback run

Blufferonthebus seems likely to prove popular after winning over a furlong shorter here last time out, but she has a 6lb penalty to carry and may struggle to confirm that effort with both the runner-up Oceanic Wonder and third placed JESMOND DAWN. The selection was a beaten favourite when pulling too hard for his own good but he remains open to improvement and is taken to get off the mark.

BLUFFERONTHEBUS was a decisive winner here earlier this month and looks well in under a 6 lb penalty. She can follow up. Infinite Honour and Top Flight Century rate the principal dangers.

Preference is for INFINITE HONOUR who has run well to be placed the last twice despite hanging left. There is stamina in his pedigree.

The Ger Lyons-trained NATIONAL LADY looks the one to beat, despite the obvious negative of being drawn out wide. Placed twice in juvenile maidens last season, the form of those particular races could hardly have worked out any better. With the benefit of a comeback run when second at Cork in March, the filly should be primed for this assignment. Emerald Harmony stepped up on two promising earlier efforts when staying on nicely to finish runner-up at Limerick. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly has an advantageous draw if Ben Coen elects to make use of it. Emerald Eclipse had shaped well in two maidens prior to disappointing in handicap company. He may find a return to this grade easier.

NATIONAL LADY gave another good account of herself when runner-up on reappearance in March and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Emerald Eclipse and Blue Poppy are a couple of potential threats.

National Lady sets the standard but EMERALD ECLIPSE is drawn lower and he's better than he showed in a handicap last time.

A 10lb rise is bound to make life more difficult for TIME FOR A PINT after a success over C&D earlier in the month, but the seven-year-old could not have won any easier that day and he looks capable of continuing his progress. Flemen's Tipple looked value for more than the winning margin when getting up late to score at Huntingdon and he must enter calculations, along with the likes of Dusautior and Pilot Show.

Cases can be made for several of these with PILOT SHOW topping the list. He has returned to form with solid placed efforts at Hereford the last twice, leaving the strong impression that his turn is very near. Time For A Pint dotted up over this C&D recently and he has to be feared, along with fellow last-time-out winners Dusautior and Flemen's Tipple.

Preference is for DUSAUTIOR, who was game when winning at Bangor and looks likely to have more to offer over this trip.

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Tailed off at Killarney latest; hard to fancy on handicap debut.

Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft, 9/2) 9 days ago, going clear. Open to further progress. Can make light of a 7 lb rise. 7lb rise for recent Punchestown win fair; big run again expected.

Although it took the Gavin Cromwell-trained ON MY BIKE 11 attempts to get his head in front, the gelding may well follow up his recent Punchestown win. The six-year-old was always travelling easily before quickening up to win smartly. Provided the ground doesn't deteriorate further, the son of Gatewood can make it back-to-back victories. Having reached the frame on both starts since returning from a break, the locally-trained My Friend The Wind is sure to be primed for this contest. A previous dual winner, he looks capable of adding to those successes in the coming weeks. Tipperary maiden winner Slip Jig is difficult to assess on her handicap debut. A mark of 102 could well underestimate her abilities.

Gavin Cromwell's ON MY BIKE could have more to offer on the back of last week's Punchestown success and can go in again off 7 lb higher. Recent Tipperary maiden winner Slip Jig could progress again in handicaps and is second choice ahead of My Friend The Wind. Walk In Time did well last summer and should also have a part to play if fully primed after 9 months off.

Winning with seemingly a bit in hand at Punchestown recently, ON MY BIKE can follow up here off a 7lb higher mark now upped in trip

Haya has a race in her after coming home in the first four on every start, including when second at Windsor last time out, and she can go well in receipt of her sex allowance. GALYX caught the eye with a comfortable success over a mile at Windsor when powering clear on soft ground and there may be more to come. Bebeto might be the best of the Jim Goldie trio and could be booked for third.

This can go to GALYX, who opened his account in good style at Windsor earlier this month and remains with potential. Haya looks the obvious danger on form, whilst positive market vibes for fairly-useful bumper winner Bolton on his return to action could prove significant.

This may become a straight fight between GALYX and Haya. The former is given the nod as he may be open to more improvement.

LAYOFTHELAND can credit Sean Davis with a first success in the training ranks. Runner-up on her two most recent starts, when beaten less than a length on both occasions, the filly can gain compensation now. Colin Keane is a very significant booking on the lightly-raced daughter of Land Force. Navan runner-up Rappell also holds leading claims for in-form trainer Paul Flynn. The gelding was making his handicap debut when finding just one too good at the County Meath track last time. Alex Belardo was behind the latter horse on his reappearance, but didn't get the clearest of runs and should be more competitive this time. However, he does have to overcome the widest draw.

This represents a golden opportunity for LAYOFTHELAND to deservedly get her head in front. She has gone close at Sligo and Navan on her last two starts and the booking of Colin Keane suggests that connections mean business. Rappell raised his game when runner-up at Navan earlier this month and he could be the one for the forecast. Marvellous Lady is best of the rest.

A slow starter in a Navan event in which Rappell finished second, LAYOFTHELAND (nap) is tipped to reverse that form.

Mixed bag last year and arrives fit from a couple of spins on the all-weather in recent months. Does come with risks attached, however (far from a fluent hurdler).

GET SKY HIGH could hardly have won any easier when scoring over C&D last time out, and a mark of 110 looks manageable for Dan Skelton's mare on her handicap debut. The daughter of Getaway should have too much for fellow handicap debutant and Ludlow scorer Bellbird, while Addosh is another of interest on the back of a creditable third at Huntingdon.

BELLBIRD had plenty in hand when opening her account at Ludlow earlier this month and promising to adapt to handicaps, Donald McCain's 4-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Get Sky High, who is also making her handicap debut after making it third time lucky in this sphere over C&D recently. Addosh arrives in form so she can edge out Linda Moon for third place.

Unexposed BELLBIRD (nap) is taken to make it two out of three over hurdles by beating recent C&D maiden hurdle winner Get Sky High.

Third in a maiden hurdle at Wexford on her racecourse debut, LONG GONE can gain a first career success. The Declan Queally-trained mare kept on well from the final flight on that occasion. Fitted with a first-time hood on her bumper debut, the six-year-old should be hard to beat. Former Flame, a half-sister to a dual winner, has to be respected on her introduction. Liz Doyle is well able to ready a debutant so any market support should be noted. Kate Knows Best, a staying-on fourth at Ballinrobe last time, looks best of those with previous form in this grade. The John Ryan-trained mare had also run well when second on her debut at Gowran Park.

LONG GONE didn't cost much but showed plenty when a staying-on third in a novice hurdle at Wexford a month ago, so he's worth a chance to build on that switched to bumpers. Former Flame is a notable newcomer and Mount Senshan is the best of those with experience.

A sporting selection goes to newcomer FORMER FLAME with John Gleeson booked from a stable with a good reputation with bumper horses

6th	4 6th (4) (13/2 +13%) Grid Iron Maiden	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(4) Grid Iron Maiden 13/2, Modest form. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good third of 9 in seller at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 33/1) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Seemed to run above her mark in a Beverley seller last time; not hard to have reservations.

MAMBHA was beaten only a neck upped to 7f for the first time at Redcar on her handicap debut. She looks up to winning off her current mark if proving as effective on this soft ground. Kode Secret also found one too good at the same Redcar meeting as the selection and should be in the mix once again, while Calafrio will be sharper for a recent comeback run at Ripon and makes more appeal than Grid Iron Maiden.

KODE SECRET and Mambha were runner-up in the 2 divisions of the 7f 3-y-o handicap at Redcar last week and looks the pair to focus on, with both due to go up 2 lb from the weekend. The former is narrowly preferred.

Mambha and KODE SECRET finished runner-up at Redcar ten days ago, but the latter may cope better with the forecast soft ground.

19	19 (19) (40/1 -21%) Kuwait Direction	40 40/1(-21%)	(19) Kuwait Direction 40/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Last of 10 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 40/1) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. RESERVE. Reserve; well held lately and he struggles to convert at the best of times (3-40).
1	2 1st (2) (12/1 +70%) Amanirenas	12 12/1(+70%)	(2) Amanirenas 12/1, Course winner. Tenth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 40/1) 19 days ago, slowly away. Chance if rediscovering old form. Has always looked a 7f performer and she's been running moderately over that far and 6f.
2	13 2nd (13) (11/1 -10%) Aurora Nova	11 11/1(-10%)	(13) Aurora Nova 11/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good, 13/2) 12 days ago, very slowly away. Can make presence felt. 0-15; beaten in a claimer before never threatening after starting slowly at Navan (6f).
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 +0%) Spirit Of Eagles	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Spirit Of Eagles 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Limerick (6.7f, soft, 100/1) 14 days ago. Two best efforts have been over 5f at Down Royal; seems to be in no form at the minute.
4	14 4th (14) (11/2 +27%) Gegenpressing	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(14) Gegenpressing 11/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap (9/2) at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago, just holding on. Solid each-way chance. Likes to go right handed and he overcame a wide draw in good fashion at Sligo last month.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +13%) Rebecca's Girl	14 14/1(+13%)	(5) Rebecca's Girl 14/1, Hooded for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 13 in claimer at Sligo (5.9f, good, 14/1) 15 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Was entitled to run better than she did in a claimer last time and now 0-8.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +70%) Wild Mountain	20 20/1(+70%)	(7) Wild Mountain 20/1, First run since leaving J. J. Lambe when last of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Not a lot to shout about after seven runs in Ireland following an absence.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 -33%) Reinforce	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Reinforce 12/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Good second of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Naas (5f, good) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Back up in trip. No wins in 20 but he's often thereabouts and went down narrowly over 5f at Naas.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 +20%) Iva Batt	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Iva Batt 16/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Adrian McGuinness when below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f, 12/1). Off 176 days. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Infrequent winner but has dropped to a very dangerous mark; now tongue tied.
9th	12 9th (12) (10/1 +55%) Net A Porter Queen	10 10/1(+55%)	(12) Net A Porter Queen 10/1, 20/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 76 days ago. Readily passed over. In good hands but now 0-9 and certainly not progressive.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 +27%) Hope And Innocence	16 16/1(+27%)	(11) Hope And Innocence 16/1, 22/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good) 12 days ago, very slowly away. 6f looked too sharp last time at Navan, even on that stiff track.
11th	6 11th (6) (100/1 -52%) Viva Voce	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Viva Voce 100/1, Last of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Gowran (7f, heavy) 21 days ago, slowly away. It's been a very slow start in Ireland and unlikely that 6f is his trip these days.
12th	17 12th (17) (3/1 +40%) Atbay	3 3/1(+40%)	(17) Atbay 3/1, Creditable second of 12 in handicap (15/8) at Roscommon (7.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Down in trip. Often prominent in the betting but has yet to deliver and is now 0-13.
13th	15 13th (15) (14/1 +0%) The World's Astage	14 14/1(+0%)	(15) The World's Astage 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Gowran (8f, heavy) 37 days ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Looks competitive on form. Debut here was okay and still has some upside now sent into handcaps.
14th	3 14th (3) (18/1 -100%) Eurielle	18 18/1(-100%)	(3) Eurielle 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) 20 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Made some late headway to be sixth of ten in a 6f maiden at Cork following an absence.
15th	18 15th (18) (9/1 +55%) American In Paris	9 9/1(+55%)	(18) American In Paris 9/1, 4/1, below form eighth of 13 in claimer at Sligo (5.9f, good) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Dundalk and Cork winner last year but has to raise his game on recent efforts.
16th	10 16th (10) (10/1 -150%) Theriverrunsdeep	10 10/1(-150%)	(10) Theriverrunsdeep 10/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (9/4) at Dundalk (5f) 48 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Expected to be bang there. She's 0-16 on turf and that despite a much lower mark on this surface.
17th	1 17th (1) (100/1 -150%) Perseids	100 100/1(-150%)	(1) Perseids 100/1, 40/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft) 16 days ago. Down in trip. Regressed for Joseph O'Brien and no closer than 16l in three runs for this yard.
18th	16 18th (16) (100/1 -203%) Mumma Mac	100 100/1(-203%)	(16) Mumma Mac 100/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good, 66/1). Off 9 months. Placed form for Hughie Morrison but well behind in three runs for current connections.

Now that he has recaptured the winning habit, GEGENPRESSING can follow up his recent Sligo success. A four-time winner, the Eddie and Patrick Harty-trained six-year-old looks well treated off his current rating. Despite being raised to a mark of 51, the gelding has won off 24lb higher in the past. Naas runner-up Reinforce appears to have gradually improved this season. The four-year-old ran a career best latest when runner-up in a higher grade than this one at Naas. If he can reproduce that effort, he won't be too far away. Amanirenas doesn't appear to be in the best of form right now, but dropping into the bottom grade on a track where she has won previously could see a revival.

THERIVERRUNSDEEP is 0-16 on turf but she's been in good form on the all-weather in recent months and she is worth chancing off an attractive mark. Next on the list is Atbay, who found just one too good at Roscommon recently, while Gegenpressing, a winner at Sligo last time, is also high on the shortlist. Aurora Nova and Reinforce are others to consider for each-way purposes.

Open. GEGENPRESSING is not best drawn but he likes to go right handed and, all things considered, he was good value for his Sligo win.

20:40 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (16/1 -14%) Tribesmans Glory	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Tribesmans Glory 16/1, Fair winning chaser for Tom George in 2020 but failed to add to that for current yard, always behind over 2m 3 weeks ago. Below par recently but not ruled out each-way if back to the form of his second in March..
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 +0%) Harlem Soul	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Harlem Soul 10/1, Successful twice in Wincanton in December 2022 but more miss than hit since and he's opposable despite falling mark. Best efforts at Wincanton; handy mark but little encouragement in his recent form..
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +40%) My Rockstar	12 12/1(+40%)	(9) My Rockstar 12/1, Left previous efforts behind when off the mark at Wincanton (20. 2f) last spring and good third upped to 3m at this venue next time. Possibly better than the figures suggest this season and he's back on his correct mark here. 2m4f chase winner (good); well below that level on his last four starts; plenty to prove..
4	6 4th (6) (4/1 -14%) Over Milk Wood	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Over Milk Wood 4/1, Modest form over hurdles in Ireland for Olivia Hegarty in 2021. Low-key start for this stable but yard in much better form now and he made his second chase start a winning one at Uttoxeter 12 days ago. Up 5 lb but a big player. Up 5lb since career-best Uttoxeter win but if able to step up again he'd be a contender..
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 +0%) Bombay Sunset	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Bombay Sunset 20/1, Second in point bumper (May 2022) but well beaten under Rules so far. 5 lb out of the weights. Well beaten at big odds on his last four starts; now tongue tied..
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 -82%) Cotton End	20 20/1(-82%)	(5) Cotton End 20/1, Losing run is mounting up but ran creditably by more recent standards when third at Worcester during the summer. Left behind upped to 23.8f at Ffos Las and this more her trip. Below par on her recent reappearance but not ruled out each-way if she comes on for that..
7th	3 7th (3) (13/2 +28%) Havock	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(3) Havock 13/2, Verging on fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level when second on Stratford hurdle debut in November. No show next 3 starts but step back in right direction switched to fences when fifth at Ffos Las in April. Unable to build on that at Southwell. Still early days over fences and in good hands but needs improvement..
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 -75%) School For Scandal	14 14/1(-75%)	(8) School For Scandal 14/1, Not the most reliable but bounced back to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when second of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f) in February. Not disgraced on back of a wind op when fourth back there in March but disappointing how easily he was brushed aside at Fakenham. Cheekpieces off. 2m5f chase winner last spring; each-way player if shrugging off his last two efforts..
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 -175%) Maskia	33 33/1(-175%)	(2) Maskia 33/1, Modest form over hurdles but seemed to excel himself when just failing in 3-runner novice handicap chase at Uttoxeter in June 2022. Rather predictably failed to back that up 3 weeks later and having missed all of 2023, he was on the retreat when falling at Wetherby in March. Well treated on 2022 form; fell latest; drops 2lb and return to further looks positive..
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (7/4 +36%) Miltiades	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(1) Miltiades 7/4, Off the mark at Ludlow in December and ran at least as well when second at Taunton (23f, good to soft) later the same month. Off 4 months and stuck to his task pretty well given how free he was when third of 7 over C&D 3 weeks ago (race is working out well). Eased 1 lb and he's a big player. Equalled career-best form over C&D latest; drops 1lb; may eke out a bit more; player..

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

Third behind a pair of subsequent winners when running well over C&D earlier in the month, MILTIADES must hold every chance on the drop in grade, and with Harry Cobden taking over in the saddle. A comfortable winner at Uttoxeter recently, Over Milk Wood looks to be the main danger off a 5lb higher mark, while School For Scandal is another to consider on his best form. Cotton End and Harlem Soul cannot be ruled out either.

MILTIADES gave a really good account of himself when third on return over C&D 3 weeks ago, and with the first pair that day successful since, the form looks rock solid. Eased 1 lb he has plenty to recommend him, with Over Milk Wood feared most. Of the rest, My Rockstar could go well at a price.

A weak contest and, coming here on the back of a joint career-best effort, MILTIADES may still have more to give and is the suggestion.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (11/2 +66%) Hot Team	5.5 11/2(+66%)	(8) Hot Team 11/2, Twenty three runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (1½m, good to soft, 12/1) 3 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. Remote fourth of eight at Leicester on Monday; losing run up to 23; others preferred.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/4 +44%) Vampire Slayer	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(6) Vampire Slayer 9/4, Creditable second of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Catterick (1½m, soft) 36 days ago. That form has been boosted. 0-13 under rules, but latest second on soft ground at Catterick has been boosted since.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 +0%) Hiccups	22 22/1(+0%)	(7) Hiccups 22/1, Poor form. Tenth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Bath (11.5f, good) 15 days ago. First-time cheekpieces replace blinkers. Others are more obvious. Fair effort behind Vampire Slayer at Catterick last month, but well beaten at Bath since.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 +63%) Star Start	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(3) Star Start 9/2, Course winner. 28/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Ripon (1¼m, good) on reappearance 20 days ago. Visor back on. Might come on for the outing. Three wins last year, including here and on soft ground at Beverley; could go well.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/4 +54%) Sonning	2.75 11/4(+54%)	(1) Sonning 11/4, Good third of 12 in handicap at Ripon (1¼m, good, 12/1) 20 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. Steadily improving since returning from a long absence, but a bit to prove over this far.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -150%) Bella Bluesky	10 10/1(-150%)	(5) Bella Bluesky 10/1, Notched 2 classified wins on AW in February and good runner-up efforts in AW handicaps on both starts since. Has won a bumper and novice hurdle over jumps so no there's reason why she won't prove as good back on turf. In fine form on the AW this year, but well beaten in her only previous start on Flat turf.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 +8%) Kittykarma	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Kittykarma 11/1, Never involved in handicaps at Nottingham and Leicester this spring and remains 3 lb above the mark she defied at Thirsk last year. Has a visor refitted. 1-15; needs to better her two performances since returning last month.

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

The withdrawal of Federated has made VAMPIRE SLAYER's task a bit easier and Daragh Bourke's four-year-old can build on his Catterick second to get off the mark. Bella Bluesky began 2024 in fine form on the all-weather and is a lively threat if she can translate that to turf. Sonning is gradually working his way back into form and was ahead of Star Start when third at Ripon.

VAMPIRE SLAYER split next-time-out winners when runner-up at Catterick last month so looks well treated off only 1 lb higher. Bella Bluesky and Federated arrive in good form from AW and head the dangers in a competitive finale.

This can go to VAMPIRE SLAYER (nap) who seemed to appreciate the stiffer test when second over 1m4f on soft ground at Catterick.

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.
