1	9 1st (9) (11/1 +8%) Moe's Legacy		11 11/1(+8%)																															(9) Moe's Legacy 11/1, Winner at Kempton in February and made frame next 2 starts on all-weather. However, not been in same form on turf of late, 5½ lengths sixth of 8 to Revenue in handicap (14/1) at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago. Visor on 1st time. 1-16; below form lately, as when well behind Revenue at Bath last time; visor goes on.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +50%) High Violet		6 6/1(+50%)																															(2) High Violet 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (7f) 55 days ago, headed under 2f out and weakening. Tongue strap on 1st time back from a break but more needed. Has not built on a promising debut last summer; tongue-tie on.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 -414%) Revenue		9 9/1(-414%)																															(1) Revenue 9/1, Displayed more encouraging signs when runner-up over C&D on penultimate start and built on that to score for the first time since debut in 8-runner Bath handicap (5.7f) 18 days ago. Possibilities from revised mark. 5lb higher than when winning at Bath last time, but still well treated; major player.
4	4 4th (4) (80/1 -471%) Miss Idunn		80 80/1(-471%)																															(4) Miss Idunn 80/1, Acclamation filly who ran poorly on return at Kempton in April and fared no better (again easy to back) when last of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 40/1) 41 days ago. Return to sprinting needs to have positive effect now. Hasn't finished within 7l of the winner in five starts over a variety of trips.
5th	3 5th (3) (50/1 -809%) Match Anthem		50 50/1(-809%)																															(3) Match Anthem 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 7 in minor event at Chelmsford City (5f, 6/1) 19 days ago, no match for winner. Makes handicap debut and can go well. Runner-up at Chelmsford last time and shortlisted on handicap debut back on turf.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 -57%) Mullins Beach		11 11/1(-57%)																															(7) Mullins Beach 11/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7f, good) 17 days ago, beaten when hampered inside final 1f. Better showing not ruled out returned to sprinting from career-low mark. Placed six times last year, but well held in both outings since returning and is now 0-12.
7th	5 7th (5) (40/1 -471%) Hot Front		40 40/1(-471%)																															(5) Hot Front 40/1, 12/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, good) 17 days ago, shaken up over 2f out and weakening. Refitting of blinkers may help and return to 6f shouldn't hold any fears. Won last August but below form lately; vulnerable to less exposed rivals.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -100%) Liege		50 50/1(-100%)																															(8) Liege 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 80/1) 81 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. That run best excused (reported to have finished lame) and blinkers/eyeshields now the headgear of choice. Hasn't built on a mildly promising debut; new headgear combination on turf debut.
9th	6 9th (6) (40/1 -264%) Meganissi		40 40/1(-264%)																															(6) Meganissi 40/1, 33/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 14 days ago, weakening final 1f. That was her first start for 7 months and she's entitled to be sharper with that run under her belt. Disappointing since showing early promise last summer; more needed.

REVENUE was able to take advantage of a sliding handicap mark when winning at Bath last time out, so a subsequent 5lb rise might not stop the son of Profitable from completing a double. Liege hasn't been able to find any immediate progress having been switched to handicaps in March, but he's not without a chance on his turf debut. Match Anthem, who finished a creditable second at Chelmsford last month, makes obvious appeal now sent handicapping.

MATCH ANTHEM matched the pick of his previous form when runner-up at Chelmsford (5f) 3 weeks ago and earns the vote to come out on top now handicapping back up in trip. Bath scorer Revenue is a live threat, whilst it would come as no surprise to see a better showing from Hot Front with blinkers refitted/back up at 6f and she also makes each-way appeal.

This can go to REVENUE (nap) who looks the safest option having returned to winning form at Bath 18 days ago. He can defy a 5lb rise.

3	3 (3) (8/1 -23%) Dream Jet		8 8/1(-23%)																															(3) Dream Jet 8/1, Placed in an Irish point and left his previous form under Rules behind when landing a Stratford maiden hurdle in August. Ran respectably in this sphere when fifth in Sedgefield handicap (17f, good) latest and would be a player if able to build on that. Ran well for a long way at Sedgefield last month but is yet to be placed over fences.
1	5 1st (5) (17/2 -31%) Neigh Botha		8.5 17/2(-31%)																															(5) Neigh Botha 17/2, Winner of sole bumper start in February 2022 and best effort for current yard came when third on chase debut at Sedgefield (19.3f) in October. Not built on that but returns from a break here and has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper. Cheekpieces back on. Had mixed record and some jumping issues in the autumn but resumes on a good mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 -29%) Abaya Du Mathan		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(2) Abaya Du Mathan 9/2, Has done well since joining current connections, winner of a match over C&D in January and 12-runner handicap chase at Warwick in April. Posted solid fourth in stronger contest here last week and is one for shortlist. Long in the tooth now but ran well here a week ago and won't mind if there's rain about.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 -167%) Guillaume		16 16/1(-167%)																															(4) Guillaume 16/1, Made the most of what ended up a good opportunity to get off the mark under Rules at Catterick in December. Tame efforts both subsequent starts, though. Ended 2023 with win at Catterick and has excuses for both defeats this year; a possible.
4	7 4th (7) (125/1 -942%) Rafferty		125 125/1(-942%)																															(7) Rafferty 125/1, Fair chaser at best, winning twice in 2021/22. Disappointing since, though, including back over the smaller obstacles at Fakenham latest. Cheekpieces reapplied. Regressive 10yo who has been out of form over hurdles and fences for a good while now.
5th	11 5th (11) (350/1 -961%) Lonimoss Bareliere		350 350/1(-961%)																															(11) Lonimoss Bareliere 350/1, Long-standing maiden. Bled when pulled up in handicap chase at Hereford 63 days ago and remains hard to recommend. 5 lb out of the weights. Pulled up on last two appearances and now 0-33 under all codes.
6th	6 6th (6) (300/1 -2400%) We Got Your Back		300 300/1(-2400%)																															(6) We Got Your Back 300/1, Winless following half-a-dozen attempts over hurdles but was runner-up twice here in handicaps earlier this year. However, offered little on chasing bow at this course last week. Second twice over hurdles here this year but never competitive on recent chasing debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (125/1 -1289%) Man Of Light		125 125/1(-1289%)																															(8) Man Of Light 125/1, Modest winner at 17f over hurdles but suffered a heavy fall on chase debut at Taunton in March and he's finished well held in a couple of handicaps at Exeter/Ffos Las since. Tried in headgear now. Very well handicapped on some of his hurdling form but has basically become disappointing.
8th	1 8th (1) (400/1 -7173%) Minella Choice		400 400/1(-7173%)																															(1) Minella Choice 400/1, Shaped well on his return/chasing debut at Ludlow in December but not been in same form since (reportedly bled for second time at Market Rasen in March). Clearly comes with risks attached at moment. Creditable third on chasing debut but yet to build on that run; bled on last two outings.
9	9 |PU| (9) (400/1 -4900%) Berliet Express		400 400/1(-4900%)																															(9) Berliet Express 400/1, Still looking for first success over fences but not disgraced the last twice and has had a wind operation since his last start at Catterick in February. Enters calculations. Began year with two decent efforts; a possible if subsequent wind op aids finishing effort.
10	10 |PU| (10) (450/1 -5525%) Pencil		450 450/1(-5525%)																															(10) Pencil 450/1, Still looking for first victory but ran creditably, back from 5 months off, when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, good) 26 days ago. Claims if building on that. 1 lb out of the weights. Ran quite well last month, after a break, but needs to find something extra here.

A respectable fourth over C&D last time out, where errant jumping cost him, ABAYA DU MATHAN looks the one to be with dropping in grade, having scored comfortably at Warwick in April off 3lb lower. Minella Choice has yet to get it together over fences but remains unexposed, while Neigh Botha wasn't beaten too far when switching to hurdles at Newcastle when last in action.

ABAYA DU MATHAN arrives in good form and can take advantage of a drop back in grade here. Sean Bowen is an eye-catching booking for Berliet Express and is worth monitoring in the market, whilst Pencil can also make his presence felt.

It's hard to build a robust case for any of these but NEIGH BOTHA is handicapped to win if his autumn jumping issues do not resurface.

1	8 1st (8) (3/1 +20%) Miss Stormy Night		3 3/1(+20%)																															(8) Miss Stormy Night 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form 7¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Thunderous Love in handicap (11/8) at this C&D (heavy) 26 days ago. Player with return to quicker ground likely to be more in her favour. Ran well on fast ground at Bath in April and may not have handled soft ground last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (25/1 -150%) Ten Commitments		25 25/1(-150%)																															(1) Ten Commitments 25/1, Due Diligence gelding. Showed promise when third on debut in a Wolverhampton maiden (7f) in January. Hasn't progressed in 2 subsequent runs over 5f but switch to handicaps rates a plus now tackling 6f and better anticipated. Some promise on debut over 7f but twice held over 5f; watch market on turf/handicap debut.
3	5 3rd (5) (40/1 -21%) Kingwood Queen		40 40/1(-21%)																															(5) Kingwood Queen 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 11 in maiden at Bath (8f, good, 250/1) 27 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Didn't look the easiest of rides then and others make more appeal now handicapping. Well beaten in three starts over 7f/1m; makes handicap debut; not bred for sprinting.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -20%) Crocus Time		9 9/1(-20%)																															(2) Crocus Time 9/1, Maiden who returned to form when runner-up at Chelmsford (7f) in February. Never involved following 6 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 8 days ago but she could well be sharper with that run under her belt now. Hasn't built on the promise she showed last summer; now 0-10 and is looking exposed.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/2 +10%) Little Miss Magic		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(3) Little Miss Magic 9/2, Calyx filly who is bred to be useful and offered encouragement on second of 3 starts in novice/maiden company at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in April. Not in same form over C&D latest but she's very much the type to do better now handicapping and worth considering under William Buick. Has hinted at more ability; no surprise if she steps forward now handicapping.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -191%) Thunderous Love		8 8/1(-191%)																															(6) Thunderous Love 8/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 25/1, relished the switch to sprinting when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy) 26 days ago, readily. Totally unexposed as a sprinter and possibilities again if proving as effective on these forecast quicker conditions. Won on soft ground over C&D last time, but different ground and 7lb rise pose a question.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -456%) Melisende		25 25/1(-456%)																															(4) Melisende 25/1, Returned to action with a good second in a first-time hood at Yarmouth (6f) in April. Not in same form with headgear left off when fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago, outpaced 2f out before plugging on. Cheekpieces back on returned to turf. Close second on her Yarmouth return and had an excuse at Kempton last time; respected.
8th	7 8th (7) (100/1 -525%) Eighth Army		100 100/1(-525%)																															(7) Eighth Army 100/1, Last of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time and good deal to prove now. Three efforts in handicaps have been poor; blinkers need to make a huge difference.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -21%) Dream Of Keda		80 80/1(-21%)																															(10) Dream Of Keda 80/1, 80/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time now but others make much more appeal. One fair piece of form but looks flattered by that; blinkers go on.
10th	9 10th (9) (100/1 -300%) Trois Blancs		100 100/1(-300%)																															(9) Trois Blancs 100/1, 22/1, 9¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Thunderous Love in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 26 days ago, weakening inside final 1f. Out of the frame in seven starts including when behind two of these over C&D last month.

Thunderous Love returned a 25/1 winner on soft going here last month, with the favourite MISS STORMY NIGHT back in fourth. The latter had finished much closer when third at Bath before that, and Clive Cox's filly gets another chance back on a faster surface. The handicap-debutant Little Miss Magic is worth keeping an eye on with William Buick doing the steering.

Having shaped well when third on handicap debut at Bath, MISS STORMY NIGHT may have found the rain-softened ground against her when finishing fourth behind Thunderous Love over C&D 26 days ago. With forecast conditions set to be more to her liking here she could be worth chancing to come out on top having eased in the weights. Little Miss Magic and Melisende are others to consider.

Preference is for MELISENDE who ran well when second on her Yarmouth return and had excuses for her latest Kempton effort.

4	4 (4) (9/2 -29%) Sanitiser		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(4) Sanitiser 9/2, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat. Yet to strike over hurdles but has been knocking on the door in similar company this spring and should figure prominently again here. Flat winner; threatened a few times over hurdles but he will need goodish ground.
1	2 1st (2) (10/3 +49%) Shinji		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(2) Shinji 10/3, Fairly useful bumper winner but yet to better modest form over hurdles, finishing sixth on his completed start in handicaps. Improvement needed. Has the form to feature should he bounce back from just an okay effort at Kempton.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +17%) Dog Fox		5 5/1(+17%)																															(5) Dog Fox 5/1, Fairly useful 1¼m Flat winner for Ed Dunlop. Has shown an aptitude for hurdling this spring and interesting now switching to handicaps. 1m2f winner; has made a reasonably promising start over hurdles and now goes handicapping.
3	7 3rd (7) (33/1 -230%) City Of Ruins		33 33/1(-230%)																															(7) City Of Ruins 33/1, Promise in juvenile hurdles for Donald McCain last summer. Returns for a new stable from a handicap mark which looks workable. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Ability in three runs for former yard; new trainer sends him straight into a handicap.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 -83%) Thats Jet		22 22/1(-83%)																															(6) Thats Jet 22/1, Runner-up in a Killarney maiden last summer (final start for Ross O'Sullivan) but hasn't matched that in 4 starts since coming to Britain, including on handicap debut last time. Slipping down the weights and cheekpieces are added; could stage a revival.
5th	9 5th (9) (150/1 -1567%) Zhang Fei		150 150/1(-1567%)																															(9) Zhang Fei 150/1, Fair winner on Flat and potential improver for his leading stable now handicapping for the first time over hurdles. Well beaten in three non-handicap hurdles on good to soft; sole Flat win came on quicker.
6th	10 6th (10) (125/1 -1289%) Morandi Second		125 125/1(-1289%)																															(10) Morandi Second 125/1, Second of 17 in 2m Doncaster handicap hurdle in January 2023 but has largely struggled since, beaten when unseating 3 out in a chase when last seen 6 months ago. Brian Hughes up but could only consider if backed. Bit to prove but five runs back (January 2023) he was second of 17 off a 10lb higher mark.
7th	3 7th (3) (100/1 -900%) Captain's Pick		100 100/1(-900%)																															(3) Captain's Pick 100/1, Runner-up in a bumper in Ireland last summer but hasn't achieved a great deal in a bumper and 4 starts over hurdles in Britain, including a remote fifth on 2½m Worcester handicap debut 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Handicap debut forgettable but we know he's capable of better form than that.
8th	8 8th (8) (400/1 -3233%) Jysuis		400 400/1(-3233%)																															(8) Jysuis 400/1, Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers in France. Has raced too keenly when comfortably held in maiden hurdles since coming to Britain. Needs to learn to settle better if he's to take a step forward now handicapping. Tongue tied first time. Best run yet over hurdles when beaten 12l in a good-ground maiden here.
9th	13 9th (13) (300/1 -2900%) Alright Dai		300 300/1(-2900%)																															(13) Alright Dai 300/1, Made the frame in a trio of bumpers for Dan Skelton but yet to better poor form over hurdles, including a never-dangerous sixth on heavy-ground Uttoxeter handicap debut when last seen in December. Still early days and perhaps a return to a sounder surface will help back from a break. Best form was in bumpers but wasn't far away on heavy-ground handicap debut.
10th	14 10th (14) (350/1 -1300%) My Mate Polly		350 350/1(-1300%)																															(14) My Mate Polly 350/1, No promise in bumpers and poor form over hurdles. Not hard to look elsewhere. Beaten about 15l in uncompetitive mares' hurdles in two of her last three appearances.
11th	11 11th (11) (300/1 -2043%) Sunset In Paris		300 300/1(-2043%)																															(11) Sunset In Paris 300/1, Three AW Flat wins at a low level over the winter. Best effort over hurdles when fourth in 2m Huntingdon maiden 15 days ago and handicaps should provide him with a more realistic chance of success. Three 1m2f AW wins; some promise over hurdles but can be keen and has to be ridden cold.
12th	12 12th (12) (100/1 -1011%) Martin Spirit		100 100/1(-1011%)																															(12) Martin Spirit 100/1, Winner over fences in France and, having had a wind op, opened his hurdles account with a comfortable success at Plumpton in March. Hasn't reproduced that since, including only seventh on Flat last time. March's clearcut win off 4lb higher was on soft ground and may prefer those conditions.
1	1 |PU| (1) (400/1 -1500%) Montys Rock		400 400/1(-1500%)																															(1) Montys Rock 400/1, Reached the frame in maiden hurdles in Ireland for Eoin Doyle. Off for 13 months ahead of this handicap debut for new connections. The betting should help guide to expectations. Bought for £25,000 after four runs in Ireland, showing ability in maidens.

SANITISER may still be a maiden through eight starts over hurdles, but recent efforts at Hereford and Huntingdon suggest that he may be about to change that. Conditions are in his favour once again and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of promising Chepstow third Dog Fox and City Of Ruins, who must be monitored for market support on his first run for new connections.

SANITISER has been consistent this spring and can get his head in front for the first time over hurdles now. The main opposition may be provided by Dog Fox and Zhang Fei, who hail from good stables and appeal as potential improvers now moving into handicap company over hurdles.

This looks very open. ALRIGHT DAI earns marginal preference as it wasn't a bad handicap debut on testing ground.

1	8 1st (8) (12/1 -33%) Perennial		12 12/1(-33%)																															(8) Perennial 12/1, 32,000 gns foal, 240,000 gns yearling, Masar gelding. Starts out in a winnable race representing yard very much amongst the winners so worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. 240,000gns yearling; withdrawn (upset in stalls) last month on intended debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +38%) Amsterdam		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(1) Amsterdam 5/2, Offered something to work on having shown his inexperience when sixth of 12 in minor event (28/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut 6 months ago, not knocked about. Can do better again as a 3-y-o on that evidence. Showed promise at Kempton and the form of that race has substance; respected.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/3 +17%) Ravishing Beauty		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(11) Ravishing Beauty 10/3, Promising sort. 16/1, left debut form behind when fifth of 11 in maiden at Bath (8f, good) on return 27 days ago. Should still have more to offer yet and she's one to consider. Has shaped with promise in two races, fifth at Bath latest; leading player on form.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 +0%) Drumstick		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(3) Drumstick 13/2, Land Force colt. Shaped as if needing the run when ninth of 12 in minor event (5/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 20 days ago. Represents very good yard and he's likely to improve. Shaped as if he needed the outing/experience at Kempton; should improve.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 -67%) Jodhpur Blue		5 5/1(-67%)																															(6) Jodhpur Blue 5/1, Blue Point gelding. Dam, 13.3f winner, sister to 2000 Guineas third Gan Amhras and smart stayer Forever Now. Starts out with his yard amongst the winners and market confidence behind him would look significant with William Buick aboard. Debutant by Blue Point out of a well-related 1m5f AW winner; market instructive.
6th	4 6th (4) (80/1 -567%) Happy Chandler		80 80/1(-567%)																															(4) Happy Chandler 80/1, Modest form in 2 runs at 2 yrs. Off 9 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Owen Burrows. Others make more appeal. Withdrawn (upset in stalls) in April on intended debut for new yard.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -400%) Sarmiento Power		100 100/1(-400%)																															(9) Sarmiento Power 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in minor event (18/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 11 days ago. Debut effort at Newbury previously certainly contained promise but he could be one for handicaps moving forward. Made no impact last time; may be more interesting in handicaps shortly.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -1567%) Harmoniser		100 100/1(-1567%)																															(5) Harmoniser 100/1, Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 8.6f winner Yeoman. Dam 1m/8.3f winner, closely related to useful 7f-11f winner Tiffany. One to note on debut. Newcomer; from a family that has served his owners well; check the betting.
9th	10 9th (10) (125/1 -25%) C'mon Pompey		125 125/1(-25%)																															(10) C'mon Pompey 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 250/1, fifteenth of 19 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good) on debut 25 days ago, not knocked about. This should reveal more but she can only be watched. Never figured at Newbury; one for handicaps later on.
10th	7 10th (7) (300/1 -200%) King Of Codes		300 300/1(-200%)																															(7) King Of Codes 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 4 in minor event (125/1) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago, left behind from 2f out. Can only be watched until tackling low-grade handicaps. No form claims.
11th	2 11th (2) (251/1 -151%) Capital Love		251 251/1(-151%)																															(2) Capital Love 251/1, Washington DC gelding. Half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Norse Magic. 150/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at this course (6f, good) on debut 17 days ago, running green and always behind. Soundly beaten in 6f maiden here last month.

RAVISHING BEAUTY has shown promise on both previous starts and the return to this trip should suit Harry Charlton's filly. Both Amsterdam and Happy Chandler return to action with a shout on last year's form, while Roger Varian has trained two of the previous three winners of this, so Harmoniser is a newcomer to note. Perennial and Jodhpur Blue are other debutants to keep an eye on.

Market support for one of the newcomers would need to be viewed positively but RAVISHING BEAUTY readily surpassed the form she showed on her only start as a 2-y-o when an encouraging fifth on return at Bath 4 weeks ago and gets the narrow vote with further progress anticipated. Jodhpur Blue is a debutant to note, with Ed Walker's pair Amsterdam and Perennial others to monitor.

The vote goes to AMSTERDAM, whose 2yo effort has received several boosts. Ravishing Beauty is second choice.

1	2 1st (2) (10/1 +50%) Catchim		10 10/1(+50%)																															(2) Catchim 10/1, €72,000 3-y-o, £3,000 6-y-o, Doyen gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Ballycoose, stays 3m, and poor hurdler The Bandit. Dam unraced. Made frame all 5 completed starts in points (latest Apr 21). Wears tongue strap for Rules debut (also had breathing op). Displayed significant ability in points but is probably best watched on this rules debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 -100%) Chancycourt		4 4/1(-100%)																															(3) Chancycourt 4/1, Third in an Irish point before shaping well when second in a Worcester bumper (heavy) in October 2021. Very lightly raced over hurdles since, though was going as well as any bar the winner when coming down 3 out on his handicap debut at Ffos Las 12 days ago. Obvious contender back in maiden company. Seemed to be moving into contention before falling on handicap debut; leading contender.
3	4 3rd (4) (400/1 -9900%) Electric Jet		400 400/1(-9900%)																															(4) Electric Jet 400/1, Placed in points and made the frame on 2 of his 3 starts in maiden hurdles. Fell heavily first on his handicap debut at Bangor 2 weeks ago but has claims if none the worse. Made frame on two of first three hurdling starts; early faller on recent handicap debut.
4	14 4th (14) (400/1 -1500%) Amberelli		400 400/1(-1500%)																															(14) Amberelli 400/1, 14/1, shaped as if needing the run when ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (15.8f, good to soft) on debut 28 days ago. Up in trip. Made low-key debut when ninth of 13 over 2m here four weeks ago.
5th	13 5th (13) (400/1 -1500%) Cocco Madonna		400 400/1(-1500%)																															(13) Cocco Madonna 400/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers 3 months apart. Tongue tied for hurdle debut. Safely held in two mares' bumpers this year; makes hurdling debut today.
6th	6 6th (6) (150/1 -4900%) Matchadam		150 150/1(-4900%)																															(6) Matchadam 150/1, Picked up for £50,000 after getting on top close home in his sole point last November. Tongue tied and showed promise when fourth of 13 in a Hereford bumper on Rules debut 7 months ago. Upped in trip for hurdle bow and one to consider. Point winner; close fourth in Hereford bumper on rules debut in October; in the mix.
7th	5 7th (5) (400/1 -1500%) Happy County		400 400/1(-1500%)																															(5) Happy County 400/1, Will be better off in low-grade handicaps in due course. Achieved very little when fourth of six in thin race at Market Rasen last month.
8th	12 8th (12) (350/1 -3400%) Solution		350 350/1(-3400%)																															(12) Solution 350/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who showed some aptitude for hurdling when fourth in a maiden at Plumpton last month. Should build on that, so not a forlorn hope. Safely held when fourth on stable/hurdle debut but Flat form makes him of interest.
9th	8 9th (8) (350/1 -3400%) Noble Cave		350 350/1(-3400%)																															(8) Noble Cave 350/1, Proved very green when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Warwick (19f, good) on debut 47 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. With a top stable but flopped badly on debut; now sports cheekpieces.
7	7 |PU| (7) (200/1 -3233%) Montys Soldier		200 200/1(-3233%)																															(7) Montys Soldier 200/1, Easy winner of sole start in Irish points. Showed promise on his only outing in bumpers for Michael Scudamore and has shaped with some encouragement both starts over hurdles. Step up in trip a plus but may be one for handicaps after this. Remote when making the frame in first two hurdles but still has significant potential.
10	10 |PU| (10) (350/1 -1300%) Passwidenslow		350 350/1(-1300%)																															(10) Passwidenslow 350/1, Schiaparelli gelding. Dam well held in bumpers/maiden hurdle. Makes little appeal on paper. Third foal; dam well beaten bumpers/2m1f hurdle; makes belated debut today.
11	11 |PU| (11) (350/1 -430%) Wheresmemoneygone		350 350/1(-430%)																															(11) Wheresmemoneygone 350/1, €20,000 3-y-o, £4,000 5-y-o, Champs Elysees gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Dusky Raider, stayed 19f. Dam unraced. Finished a well-held fourth on completed start in Irish points (May 5). Bought for £4,000 after remote fourth in Irish point last month; rules debut today.
9	9 |PU| (9) (400/1 -1112%) No Promises		400 400/1(-1112%)																															(9) No Promises 400/1, Showed little in a bumper/maiden hurdle in 2021. Successful in points since but pulled up last time (Nov 22). Maiden point winner in June 2022; off since pulled up in restricted point later that year.
1	1 |PU| (1) (400/1 -506%) Castlecomer Bill		400 400/1(-506%)																															(1) Castlecomer Bill 400/1, Looks one for handicaps after this run. Well beaten in a bumper and on first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m1f).

CHANCYCOURT still looked to be going well when falling three out at Ffos Las on his handicap debut recently, and Fergal O'Brien's charge may be able to gain compensation back in maiden company. Electric Jet would have strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort at Fontwell, while Matchadam is interesting on his hurdles bow having shaped well in a bumper at Hereford last October.

CHANCYCOURT clearly isn't the easiest to train, but he was going as well as any bar the well-treated winner when coming down 3 out on his handicap debut at Ffos Las 12 days ago and is the percentage call back in maiden company. Matchadam showed promise on his sole outing in bumpers and is bred to be suited by the step up in trip on hurdle debut, with Electric Jet another to consider.

Not much has gone to plan for CHANCYCOURT since his promising bumper debut in 2021 but this looks a good opportunity for him to strike.

1	4 1st (4) (6/1 +0%) Leicester Square		6 6/1(+0%)																															(4) Leicester Square 6/1, 160,000 gns yearling, Masar gelding. Closely related to 11f winner Shazia and half-brother to several winners, including 9.5f/1¼m winner Shalamba and 11f-15f winner Shalakar, both useful. Dam won Prix de l'Opera. 7/1, third of 12 in novice at Nottingham (10.2f) on debut 21 days ago. Will improve. Showed promise at Nottingham three weeks ago, finishing third; open to progress.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +20%) Liam Swagger		4 4/1(+20%)																															(5) Liam Swagger 4/1, Consistent rather than progressive in maidens/novices but surely has races in him given the level he has run to. Headgear on. Ties in with Eben Zaabeel and Steel Tiger on last two efforts; contender.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 -14%) Crown Of India		4 4/1(-14%)																															(2) Crown Of India 4/1, Left sole 2-y-o run well behind when close third in novice here (9.9f, heavy, 10/1) 26 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Should have more to offer up in trip again. Clear third, one place behind a subsequent winner, at this course on seasonal debut.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 -7%) Eben Zaabeel		8 8/1(-7%)																															(3) Eben Zaabeel 8/1, Thrice-raced colt. Progressive form, fourth of 8 in maiden at Chester (10.3f, good, 9/1) 34 days ago, running on. Should have more to offer still. Moving steadily in the right direction; bred to be suited by this new trip; in the mix.

Runner-up in novices at Yarmouth, beaten only by a smart prospect 2 weeks ago. Player. Runner-up in two races at Yarmouth; wouldn't need to improve much to go one better.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -2400%) Pagan Sun		100 100/1(-2400%)																															(7) Pagan Sun 100/1, €80,000 yearling, €360,000 2-y-o, Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Wootton'sun. 15/8, looked in need of experience when sixth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f) on debut. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving P. Twomey. Should improve. Showed promise in sole Irish start; bred to be suited by this longer trip; interesting.
7th	10 7th (10) (100/1 -525%) Mawayed		100 100/1(-525%)																															(10) Mawayed 100/1, Sea The Stars filly. Closely related to useful 1½m winner Alaroos and half-sister to very smart 1m winner Madhmoon. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 1¼m. Fourth of 8 in novice (10/1) at Leicester (10f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Should progress. Modest form when fourth at Leicester but should be suited by this longer distance.
8th	6 8th (6) (250/1 -150%) Mr Cliff		250 250/1(-150%)																															(6) Mr Cliff 250/1, Well held in novices 10 months apart. Poor claims on form.
9th	8 9th (8) (251/1 -151%) Shaad		251 251/1(-151%)																															(8) Shaad 251/1, Well held in novices at Wolverhampton/Yarmouth. Needs major improvement.

STEEL TIGER has chased home two smart rivals in his short career to date and the son of Almanzor can go one better here. Liam Swagger was a place behind the selection last time, having finished ahead of Eben Zaabeel at Chester before that, while Crown Of India went close when third over a shorter trip here in May. Leicester Square showed some promise at Nottingham on his debut and is another to consider.

There was little to choose between STEEL TIGER and Liam Swagger when placed behind a smart prospect at Yarmouth 2 weeks ago and both should go well again in what looks an open maiden. Crown of India and Pagan Sun head the dangers.

The percentage call goes to CROWN OF INDIA, ahead of Pagan Sun in a competitive-looking maiden.

6	6 (6) (40/1 -21%) Edge Of Darkness		40 40/1(-21%)																															(6) Edge Of Darkness 40/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, third of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 15/2) 11 days ago. Four-time 1m4f winner for the Johnstons; ran okay in two maiden hurdles.
15	15 (15) (40/1 +0%) Jupiter Rock		40 40/1(+0%)																															(15) Jupiter Rock 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 9 days ago.

1	10 1st (10) (10/3 -11%) Kendancer		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(10) Kendancer 10/3, Fair hurdler. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner claiming hurdle (15/8) at Limerick (16.4f, soft) 12 days ago by 3¾ lengths from Gino Drummer Boy, shaken up to assert. Should go well again. This may be stronger than the Limerick race he won; rain would be a concern.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/1 +36%) Broken Ice		7 7/1(+36%)																															(7) Broken Ice 7/1, Fair chaser. 3/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap chase at Limerick (25.5f, good) 19 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Respectable handicap chase form of late; respected despite trip being on the sharp side.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -40%) Routine Excellence		14 14/1(-40%)																															(1) Routine Excellence 14/1, Fairly useful chaser. Respectable third of 12 in claiming hurdle at Clonmel (19f, good to soft, 7/1) 26 days ago. Third in a Clonmel claimer last month and won't be far away with something similar.
4	3 4th (3) (15/2 +38%) Gordons Aura		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(3) Gordons Aura 15/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Twelfth of 17 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Cork (20f, good) 31 days ago. Maiden winner in 2023; forgettable recent efforts in handicaps; this is at least easier.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -29%) Summer Tide		18 18/1(-29%)																															(4) Summer Tide 18/1, Fairly useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Cork in March. Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 11/1) 8 days ago. No impact back hurdling last week but fully entitled to have some say at this level.
6th	12 6th (12) (18/1 -157%) Gino Drummer Boy		18 18/1(-157%)																															(12) Gino Drummer Boy 18/1, Fair hurdler. Creditable 3¾ lengths second of 10 to Kendancer in claiming hurdle at Limerick (16.4f, soft, 17/2) 12 days ago. Respected. Behind Kendancer in his last two claimers and this 12-race maiden is looking exposed.
7th	14 7th (14) (25/1 +38%) Young Fitzy		25 25/1(+38%)																															(14) Young Fitzy 25/1, Modest hurdler. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Hurdle/chase winner but not in great form right now and these terms are tough enough.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 +28%) Flaming Moon		18 18/1(+28%)																															(8) Flaming Moon 18/1, Fair chaser. 10/1, sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (17.8f, good). Off 9 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith. Flat/hurdle winner but hard to trust after pulling up in his last two points.
9	9 |B| (9) (9/1 -100%) Tom Mcgreevy		9 9/1(-100%)																															(9) Tom Mcgreevy 9/1, Unreliable type. Running below form when fell in claiming hurdle (7/2) at Limerick (16.4f, soft) 12 days ago won by Kendancer. Ability respected but notoriously headstrong and always comes with an element of risk.
11	11 |F| (11) (4/1 +27%) Clever Currency		4 4/1(+27%)																															(11) Clever Currency 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Seventeenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 28/1) 40 days ago. Expected to be bang there down in class. In form until Punchestown last time; looks one of the better options on these terms.
5	5 |U| (5) (33/1 -136%) Doctor Nightingale		33 33/1(-136%)																															(5) Doctor Nightingale 33/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in April. Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 16/1) 14 days ago. Rain is welcomed and could leave recent handicap form on goodish ground behind.
13	13 |PU| (13) (33/1 -32%) Kellyiscool		33 33/1(-32%)																															(13) Kellyiscool 33/1, Fair chaser. Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. 11/2, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, soft), broke blood vessel when. Off 9 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. 10yo who is a 21-race maiden and also beaten in seven points; unlikely to be the answer.

KENDANCER landed a similar contest in good style at Limerick 12 days ago and can collect again. He was pulling away for a cosy three-and-three-quarter length win last time over Gino Drummer Boy and going a bit further now should suit. The runner-up is entitled to get a bit closer at the revised terms. Tom McGreevy was disputing when falling two from home in that Limerick contest and is another who has to come into calculations now. He holds the top official mark of 116 in this two-mile-two contest. The consistent Routine Excellence is another who has to be considered but has to give away a chunk of weight to the ones mentioned above.

CLEVER CURRENCY isn't the most consistent but he's down in class here and is the one to beat on the pick of his form on these terms. Kendancer and Gino Drummer Boy were first and second in a similar event at Limerick 12 days ago and head the dangers.

These claimers are rarely straightforward. The forecast rain bodes well for heavy-ground maiden winner DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE.

10	10 (10) (50/1 -150%) Misscarlett		50 50/1(-150%)																															(10) Misscarlett 50/1, Losing run stretches back to 2021 and she ran some way below her best with a spin on the Flat under her belt when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Others preferred operating from out of the weights. Safely held at Hexham last month and remains without a win since 2021; 5lb wrong here.
1	1 1st (1) (5/2 -11%) Bethpage		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(1) Bethpage 5/2, 6-y-o mare who showed improved form to make a winning handicap debut at Fontwell (17.7f) in April and she progressed again stepped up in trip when scoring in good style at Ludlow (21.2f) last month. 4 lb rise for that looks fair and she's a live player in hat-trick bid. 2-2 since switched to handicaps this spring and might still be on the upgrade; big player.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 +7%) Auditoria		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(3) Auditoria 13/2, Hurdles/chase winner. Failed to complete on last 2 starts over fences last season but not for the first time failed to convince with her stamina beyond 3m when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f) 23 days ago. Better expected back down in trip from easing mark. Did not see out 3m2f last month but still ran quite well; this trip ought to suit better.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/2 -25%) Culligran		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(5) Culligran 15/2, Unplaced both completed starts in points but some promise in pair of maiden/novice hurdles and upped her game when runner-up on handicap debut at Newton Abbot 22 days ago. Going the right way, so she's worth a second look. No match for winner when second on recent handicap debut but that was still a good run.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 -400%) Our Friend Mo		40 40/1(-400%)																															(6) Our Friend Mo 40/1, Maiden hurdler/chaser who didn't kick on from a promising start over fences but did at least fare better returned to this sphere when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good to soft, 8/1) 36 days ago, having run of race. Not dismissed out of hand. Pulled up in two chases at end of last season but recent hurdle run was much better.
5th	9 5th (9) (66/1 -560%) Bella Cavalla		66 66/1(-560%)																															(9) Bella Cavalla 66/1, Milan mare who showed much more than previously (equipped with cheekpieces) when third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 24 days ago, keeping on gradually straight. One of the least exposed but even longer trips may suit moving forward. Struggled on handicap debut but, with cheekpieces added, was placed at big odds last month.
6th	7 6th (7) (350/1 -3400%) Miss Applejack		350 350/1(-3400%)																															(7) Miss Applejack 350/1, Bumper winner who has been well held on her completed starts in novice/maiden hurdles. Possibly needed the run (after 3 months off) when seventh of 9 on handicap debut at Huntingdon (19.6f) 3 weeks ago and this promises to reveal more. Not beaten far when seventh of nine on handicap debut but improvement needed here.
7th	8 7th (8) (80/1 -300%) Bella Madonna		80 80/1(-300%)																															(8) Bella Madonna 80/1, Poor form in bumpers/hurdles, beaten some way out when pulled before 3 out in mares' novices' handicap at Worcester (20f) in September. Absent/undergone wind surgery since but percentage call to look elsewhere. Unplaced all five hurdling starts; had breathing issue when pulled up last time.
2	2 |PU| (2) (350/1 -9900%) Trump Lady		350 350/1(-9900%)																															(2) Trump Lady 350/1, Dual winner earlier in her career and, with a reappearance from a lengthy absence under her belt, she returned to something like her best when scoring at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 13 days ago, allowed to dictate and always holding on. Can give another good account. Made all at Newton Abbot; 3lb rise offset by Bradley Harris's useful claim here.
4	4 |PU| (4) (400/1 -3233%) Mrs Grimley		400 400/1(-3233%)																															(4) Mrs Grimley 400/1, Fair bumper/hurdles winner but ended time with Ben Pauling out of form and didn't offer much short-term encouragement on debut for new yard (also had wind op) when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 38 days ago. Up in trip. Became disappointing for Ben Pauling last season and made low-key stable debut last month.

BETHPAGE completed a brace of handicap victories when winning at Ludlow last month and Emma Lavelle's progressive mare can bring up the hat-trick off a 4lb raised mark. Trump Lady, a comfortable winner at Newton Abbot last time out, appears to be the main threat, while Culligran, who was no match for an emphatic victor at the same venue 22 days ago, is also noted.

BETHPAGE has gone from strength-to-strength in handicaps in recent months, finding the step up in trip right up her street when adding to her tally at Ludlow 4 weeks ago. She can make light of a 4 lb rise and complete the hat-trick. Trump Lady also arrives on the back of success and she's feared, with Our Friend Mo and Auditoria both lurking on handy marks and capable of playing a part also.

The suggestion is BETHPAGE, who is 2-2 since switched to handicaps this spring and remains unexposed over this sort of trip.

1	1 (1) (4/1 -14%) Elladonna		4 4/1(-14%)																															(1) Elladonna 4/1, Hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 8-runner handicap (15/8) at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 21 days ago by 1½ lengths from Xiomara, cosily. No complaints with a 5 lb rise and she's a key player with William Buick again aboard. 5lb higher than for latest Nottingham win; should go well if headgear continues to work.
1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +55%) Quietness		2.5 5/2(+55%)																															(3) Quietness 5/2, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving George Baker when winning 7-runner handicap (15/8) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 29 days ago. 4 lb nudge fair enough and this slight drop back in trip shouldn't pose too much of a problem. One to consider with Oisin Murphy booked. 4lb higher than when making a successful stable debut at Windsor last month; not dismissed.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 +11%) Alhattan		4 4/1(+11%)																															(9) Alhattan 4/1, Promising individual. Winner at Newcastle in January. 9/2, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 24 days ago. Unexposed at this trip and she has to enter calculations given that she remains capable of better. Not beaten far on turf debut at Newmarket last time; this track could suit her better.
3	11 3rd (11) (33/1 -200%) Frankelian		33 33/1(-200%)																															(11) Frankelian 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 10/3). Off 8 months ahead of this handicap debut and she needs to take a step forward. Makes her handicap debut after 251 days off but the longer trip should suit on pedigree.
4	12 4th (12) (14/1 -56%) Pratigya		14 14/1(-56%)																															(12) Pratigya 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. 11/8, won 8-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 41 days ago, driven out. This stiffer test should suit now handicapping and she should have more to offer. Off the mark at Wolverhampton last month; one for the shortlist on turf/handicap debut.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/1 -50%) Xiomara		9 9/1(-50%)																															(10) Xiomara 9/1, Promising sort. 1½ lengths second of 8 to Elladonna in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 6/1) 21 days ago, running on. Can make presence felt. 4 lb swing at the weights gives her a fighting chance of reversing the placings with that rival here. Just over a length behind Elladonna at Nottingham last time; respected.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 -233%) Ciara Pearl		40 40/1(-233%)																															(2) Ciara Pearl 40/1, Three wins from 4 runs this year. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (10f, good to firm, 15/2) 31 days ago, missing break. It could be that the handicapper has now caught up with her. Did well in her first six starts before a lesser effort at Ascot; unraced on fast ground.
7th	4 7th (4) (100/1 -100%) Switchel		100 100/1(-100%)																															(4) Switchel 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (10f, heavy). Off 8 months and significant step forward needed in a first-time hood here. Lightly raced 4yo who is 0-5; returns from another nine months off; hood on.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -525%) Glimmer Of Light		100 100/1(-525%)																															(6) Glimmer Of Light 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, third of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f), having run of race. Off 175 days. Entirely possible that she'll be seen in a better light now handicapping but there'll be easier opportunities than this. Some ability in three starts on AW last year; open to improvement on handicap/turf debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (66/1 -371%) Miss Bielsa		66 66/1(-371%)																															(8) Miss Bielsa 66/1, Twice-raced winner. Third of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 13/8) 29 days ago, running on. In good hands and unexposed but will need to raise her game in order to make a successful handicap bow. Made winning debut on AW; 1m4f maybe too far next time; respected on turf/handicap debut.
10th	5 10th (5) (66/1 -100%) Bigtime Bridget		66 66/1(-100%)																															(5) Bigtime Bridget 66/1, Lightly-raced winner. 50/1, 23½ lengths sixth of 7 to You Got To Me in listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time for this handicap debut. Looks up against it. Best efforts on AW; out of her depth in Listed Oaks Trial last time; tongue-tie on.

This can go the way of PRATIGYA, who scored from a subsequent winner when getting off the mark over shorter at Wolverhampton last month. The step up in trip could eke out further improvement on her handicap bow, and the daughter of Decorated Knight is preferred to the recent Nottingham scorer Elladonna, as well as Quietness, who is of interest following a determined success at Windsor. Alhattan and Ciara Pearl have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

XIOMARA was beaten fair and square by Elladonna at Nottingham three weeks ago but that was a highly promising handicap debut nonetheless, particularly given that she still looked rough around the edges. David Menuisier's representative is armed with a 4 lb pull and, moreover, she arguably possesses greater scope for improvement than that rival. Others with potential include Alhattan, who did well under the circumstances at Newmarket last time, and Quietness and Pratigya.

The vote goes to ALHATTAN who gives the impression there is a bigger performance in her.

1	1 1st (1) (6/1 +20%) Andyourbirdcansing		6 6/1(+20%)																															(1) Andyourbirdcansing 6/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. Bit below form fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 11/1) 25 days ago. Has a mark of only 90 and that's a fair reflection of her ability after eight defeats.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/2 -27%) Sainte Baol		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(8) Sainte Baol 7/2, Fair hurdler. 12/1, shaped as if amiss in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20.4f, good) 10 days ago, folding tamely early final circuit. Standard bearer but risky on the back of that. Poor last time but previous 4th in a Ballinrobe handicap would see her on the scene.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 -33%) Doyen Magic		3.333333 10/3(-33%)																															(5) Doyen Magic 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, best effort when fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy, 7/1) 99 days ago. Form contender. Shaped better than the bare result in a Leopardstown maiden in March and this is easier.
4	13 4th (13) (10/1 -67%) African Lady		10 10/1(-67%)																															(13) African Lady 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 15 in juvenile hurdle (15/2) at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Should improve again. Disappointing given useful Flat pedigree but finished closer in each of her four starts.
5th	12 5th (12) (6/1 +14%) Sydney Cruiser		6 6/1(+14%)																															(12) Sydney Cruiser 6/1, Modest hurdler. Very good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 66/1) 14 days ago. Player with a repeat. Progress in maidens, beaten 12l and 7l on recent visits to Ballinrobe; likes good going.
6th	2 6th (2) (33/1 -32%) Ballycommon Chapel		33 33/1(-32%)																															(2) Ballycommon Chapel 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Peter Cluskey when seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft, 200/1) 10 days ago. Lowly rated under both codes and would have brighter prospects in a handicap.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 +0%) Leste		100 100/1(+0%)																															(6) Leste 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, twelfth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy). Off 6 months. Tailed off on either side of falling at Thurles when looking well held; others preferred.
8th	11 8th (11) (80/1 -220%) Silin Alainn		80 80/1(-220%)																															(11) Silin Alainn 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Ballinrobe (22.6f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Appeared to take a forward step when beaten 24l in a maiden at Ballinrobe (2m6f, good).
9th	10 9th (10) (14/1 +13%) Seventy Eight Team		14 14/1(+13%)																															(10) Seventy Eight Team 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fell in novice chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft, 66/1) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Probably has to step up on her two hurdle efforts if she's to threaten.
3	3 |F| (3) (80/1 +20%) Crimlin Rose		80 80/1(+20%)																															(3) Crimlin Rose 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 200/1) 27 days ago. Beaten 77l, 67l and 65l in her three runs to date; couldn't make a case.
10th	9 10th (9) (33/1 -32%) Seren Ni		33 33/1(-32%)																															(9) Seren Ni 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 16 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Tailed off in all her runs and has earned an official mark of only 86; lots more needed.
11th	7 11th (7) (50/1 -150%) Me And Mrs Lee		50 50/1(-150%)																															(7) Me And Mrs Lee 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.3f, good to soft, 66/1) 14 days ago. There's no compelling evidence to suggest she can win a maiden.
12th	4 12th (4) (13/2 +80%) Crystal's Heir		6.5 13/2(+80%)																															(4) Crystal's Heir 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 16/1, eighth of 22 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good) 3 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. 6/9 on last hurdle outing. Brings weak form claims and was midfield in a low-grade Flat handicap at Navan on Saturday.

DOYEN MAGIC takes a drop in class on her third outing over hurdles and this looks a nice opportunity for the point-to-point winner. She ran in a couple of strong contests over the winter and wasn't disgraced when fifth at Leopardstown when last seen in March. This is an easier task now and better ground may suit as it was yielding when she won her point. African Lady has run better on her last couple of outings and should get involved now at this level. Sainte Baol was pulled up quickly at Listowel 10 days ago but is capable of better than that and has a chance on previous form.

SAINTE BAOL ran no sort of race at Listowel 10 days ago but she's worth another chance in such a weak event. Doyen Magic and Sydney Cruiser are at least showing steady progress so rate the main threats.

Having fetched £140,000 after winning a point and shaping okay in a Leopardstown maiden, DOYEN MAGIC should be going close.

1	5 1st (5) (9/4 -125%) Yes I'm Mali		2.25 9/4(-125%)																															(5) Yes I'm Mali 9/4, Foaled May 6. Sands of Mali colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f debut winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 11f Cosmic Horizon. Solid contender for yard with very strong 2-y-o squad again. First foal of a 6f AW 2yo winner; yard won this with a newcomer in 2023.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 +66%) Territorial Knight		2.75 11/4(+66%)																															(4) Territorial Knight 11/4, £25,000 yearling, Territories colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Hellomydarlin from family of high-class 6f/7f winner Muarrab. 33/1, tenth of 14 in minor event at York (6f, good) on debut 17 days ago. That had the look of a good contest and this is easier. Outpaced from halfway in a 6f York novice 17 days ago; bred to need more of a test.
3	9 3rd (9) (22/1 -83%) Misdreavous		22 22/1(-83%)																															(9) Misdreavous 22/1, Foaled March 14. 19,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam French 2-y-o 1m winner out of very smart US 6f-1m winner Mizdirection (dual winner of Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint). Some appeal on paper and one to note. 19,000gns yearling; dam a 1m winner in France; of interest on paper in race lacking depth.
4	1 4th (1) (25/1 +24%) Balzarini		25 25/1(+24%)																															(1) Balzarini 25/1, €60,000 foal, Dark Angel colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f/7f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m-2m winner Johann Zoffany, 6f-7f winner Crown Choice and 1¼m winner Hail, latter 2 useful. 100/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Leicester (6f, soft) on debut 14 days ago. Well-beaten 100-1 shot on recent Leicester debut (6f, good to soft); not easily fancied.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -567%) Bobby Jones		40 40/1(-567%)																															(6) Bobby Jones 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 10 in maiden (17/2) at Redcar (6f, good) 22 days ago. Modest form in two maidens last month; may do better and he's a possible.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -1011%) Mavetheforcebewivu		100 100/1(-1011%)																															(8) Mavetheforcebewivu 100/1, Foaled May 6. Land Force filly. Dam maiden (stayed 6f) sister to useful winner up to 7f Roundhay Park. Yard have had a few 2-y-o runners show up well on debut this term. Dam a maiden sister to prolific sprint winner Roundhay Park; makes her debut in weak race.
7th	2 7th (2) (100/1 -525%) Crimson Lad		100 100/1(-525%)																															(2) Crimson Lad 100/1, 19,000 gns yearling, Ribchester gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 5f winner Pursuing The Dream and French winner up to 8.5f Izlaz, both useful. Eighth of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, firm, 22/1) on debut 24 days ago, slowly away. Never in the hunt on last month's Doncaster debut but should know more here; can do better.
8th	3 8th (3) (50/1 -150%) Inshad		50 50/1(-150%)																															(3) Inshad 50/1, Twice-raced colt. 12/1, last of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, firm) 24 days ago. Weak finishes in his two runs this spring; may not come into his own until handicapping.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -471%) Sun Petal		80 80/1(-471%)																															(10) Sun Petal 80/1, Twice-raced filly. 15/2, sixth of 8 at Salisbury (5f, good) 17 days ago. Suspect she'll need more time and further. Modest form in two 5f runs last month; should do better at some point.
10th	7 10th (7) (66/1 -65%) Captain Kinsella		66 66/1(-65%)																															(7) Captain Kinsella 66/1, £10,000 yearling, Rajasinghe colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 6f See The Sun and 5f-7f winner Port Noir. Last of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, firm, 28/1) on debut 24 days ago. Hung badly right from an early stage on last month's Doncaster debut; best watched.

Territorial Knight may find this to be easier than last month's introduction in a higher grade at York, while Sun Petal ran well for a long way at Salisbury before fading in the closing stages. However, Richard Fahey sent out a newcomer to win this race 12 months ago and YES I'M MALI, who is out of a debut winner, could make a bold bid on his racecourse bow.

Not a deep-looking maiden and it would be no surprise to see YES I'M MALI emulate his dam and make a successful debut in these colours. Territorial Knight showed a bit in a warm race at York first time up and could improve plenty, while Mavetheforcebewivu is another interesting newcomer.

An unappealing betting race and CRIMSON LAD is tentatively preferred to Yes I'm Mali.

5	5 (5) (5/1 +9%) Mays Hill		5 5/1(+9%)																															(5) Mays Hill 5/1, Winner of a Fontwell bumper but yet to really threaten from 4 starts over hurdles, albeit she wasn't disgraced when fifth of 9 on handicap bow at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) last time. Likely to do better at some point. Lacked the pace to land a telling blow on handicap debut but wasn't beaten far in the end.
9	9 (9) (12/1 -50%) Lady Salvador		12 12/1(-50%)																															(9) Lady Salvador 12/1, Showed she can make an impact from a basement mark when second of 7 on her Fontwell handicap debut/reappearance in November. Not helped by a late mistake when seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle back there on return in May but she has work to do from out of the weights here. Second on heavy ground in November; not seen to same effect on good last month; 4lb wrong.
1	7 1st (7) (10/3 +17%) Emily Wade		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(7) Emily Wade 10/3, Opened hurdles account off a 2 lb higher mark over C&D last March. Not at her best in 5 starts since returning from a break in October but it could be that she's essentially a spring/summer horse and she will have a real chance if responding well to the first-time tongue strap. C&D winner; bled from the nose when well backed last time; remains well handicapped.
2	6 2nd (6) (20/1 +20%) Fiadh		20 20/1(+20%)																															(6) Fiadh 20/1, Won over 3m at Wetherby last March but has shown very little recently since returning from an 11-month absence in March. Passed over. Out of sorts this year and needs to turn things around.
3	8 3rd (8) (40/1 -21%) Far Away West		40 40/1(-21%)																															(8) Far Away West 40/1, Yet to trouble the judge under Rules and improvement was not forthcoming on last month's handicap debut at Fontwell. Never really got involved when 50-1 for last month's handicap debut at Fontwell.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -1367%) Mrs Tabitha		33 33/1(-1367%)																															(4) Mrs Tabitha 33/1, Debut bumper winner at Bangor and left previous hurdling form well behind when justifying support in a 9-runner event on handicap debut at Ludlow in April. Didn't do much wrong when runner-up at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) since and she should have a part to play. Scored on handicap debut and has run well in defeat since; must be considered.
5th	1 5th (1) (33/1 -500%) Our Pink Lady		33 33/1(-500%)																															(1) Our Pink Lady 33/1, Lightly raced and improved when landing back-to-back C&D handicaps in March. Never looked like completing the hat-trick at Uttoxeter and while that race may have come too soon given that it was her third within a 5-week period, she looks up against it under top-weight. Dual C&D winner on soft ground in March; flopped on latest outing; may need some rain.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 -789%) Blow The Budget		40 40/1(-789%)																															(2) Blow The Budget 40/1, Remains a maiden but this will be just her seventh start over hurdles and, having undergone a wind op following a low-key effort at Musselburgh in February, she posted arguably her best effort yet when third of 10 back from a break at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) recently. Possibilities. Showed the benefit of a wind op when close third at Market Rasen last month; respected.
7th	3 7th (3) (100/1 -1011%) Kellie's Dream		100 100/1(-1011%)																															(3) Kellie's Dream 100/1, Dual handicap hurdle winner for Andrew Slattery in Ireland and showed a bit when making the frame at Carlisle on her stable debut in February. Yet to fully click for present yard but she's dangerous to discount back up in trip here with her mark continuing to head south. 0-4 for current stable but comes here after two respectable 2m runs at Perth.

MRS TABITHA bumped into an improver when filling the runner-up spot at Sedgefield last month, and the lightly-raced five-year-old is fancied to get back in the winning groove nudged up 2lb in the handicap. Blow The Budget found improvement at Market Rasen on her first start following wind surgery and she can throw down another stern challenge, along with Mays Hill, who made a pleasing return to action 19 days ago.

A chance is taken on KELLIE'S DREAM, who is 11 lb lower in the weights compared to when making her debut for present connections in February and this step back up in trip/drying ground may help. Emily Wade also figures on a good mark and she will be a big threat if on-song, while Mrs Tabitha is third choice ahead of Blow The Budget.

The most obvious answer is MRS TABITHA, who launched her handicap career with two big runs this spring and is open to further progress.

1	2 1st (2) (11/4 +31%) Regal Envoy		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(2) Regal Envoy 11/4, Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 6/1, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, good) 10 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and another bold show anticipated with Oisin Murphy booked. Returned to form at Lingfield ten days ago, taking turf record to 5-18; back up only 2lb.
2	9 2nd (9) (20/1 -122%) Lihou		20 20/1(-122%)																															(9) Lihou 20/1, Course winner. 20/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good) 18 days ago and he's likely to come up short once before. Most wins at 5f; not seen over this trip since November 2022.
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 -843%) Strike		33 33/1(-843%)																															(8) Strike 33/1, 4/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 50 days ago. 3 lb rise looks about right and he should be in the mix. May struggle to follow up Windsor win but has place claims; third in this race last year.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 -567%) Big R		40 40/1(-567%)																															(6) Big R 40/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 11/2) 22 days ago, slowly away. Not without each-way hope. Both wins on Polytrack at Kempton; drops back in class.
5th	1 5th (1) (100/1 -2122%) Crimson Angel		100 100/1(-2122%)																															(1) Crimson Angel 100/1, 2/1, creditable second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 40 days ago. Definite chance if she's able to reproduce that effort back on turf but a cloud of doubt looms in that respect, as she was well held at Windsor (sole previous run on turf) last August. Consistent on AW this year; major player provided the form is transferred back to turf.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -83%) She's Centimental		22 22/1(-83%)																															(4) She's Centimental 22/1, Five wins from 19 Flat runs. 16/1, below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good) 18 days ago. Others make more appeal. Has failed to transfer her AW form back to turf the last twice.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 +0%) Ultramarine		16 16/1(+0%)																															(5) Ultramarine 16/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good, 28/1) 11 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Something to find on form. All wins on AW; latest effort took turf record to 0-17.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 -100%) Bright		28 28/1(-100%)																															(3) Bright 28/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 50/1) 17 days ago. Place possibilities. Both wins on Tapeta at Wolverhampton; ran respectably at Windsor on return to turf.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 -450%) Cooperation		66 66/1(-450%)																															(7) Cooperation 66/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 25/1) 24 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark and place claims if able to build on that reappearance effort. Well treated on best form; inconsistent in four races for new yard.

Turned out again relatively quickly after a determined success at Lingfield, REGAL ENVOY could have more to come off a 2lb higher mark, and with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. Crimson Angel was second at the same venue last month and can give him the most to think about, along with Strike, who has had a short break since narrowly scoring at Windsor in April.

REGAL ENVOY returned to form when narrowly prevailing at Lingfield recently and he is taken to strike again having been nudged up just 2 lb. The 5-y-o has winning course form, plus the booking of Oisin Murphy adds to his appeal. Fellow last-time-out scorer Strike has to be feared, while Cooperation shaped pretty well on return at Newmarket and he is dangerous to discount. Crimson Angel will also be a threat if able to translate her all-weather form to turf.

The most solid option is REGAL ENVOY. Second choice is Crimson Angel.

Easily best effort over hurdles when fourth of 15 in novice at Tramore (16.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Respected. Best of four hurdle runs came at Tramore last time and can be a player again.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) Janus Bede		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) Janus Bede 25/1, €14,500 3-y-o, Robin Du Nord gelding. Brother to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Imperial Bede, and half-brother to fair 21f chase winner in France Fleury Bede. Dam unraced. Cost 14,500euros as a 3yo; worth checking for market confidence.
16	16 (16) (66/1 +0%) Sarrealta		66 66/1(+0%)																															(16) Sarrealta 66/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 12 in bumper at Wexford (20f, good to soft, 33/1) on bumper debut 13 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. RESERVE.

Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Macs Charm and fair hurdler/useful chaser Monatomic. Dam unraced half-sister to Scottish Grand National winner Win My Wings. Won sole start in points (Feb 11).

2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -25%) Break The Boundary		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Break The Boundary 5/1, Won completed start in points. Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fairly useful form when second in a hunter at Cork on Rules debut in April. Well below that level in maiden hurdles since. Point winner ran well in two maiden hurdles but needs more to score.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 +60%) Leave In Secret		10 10/1(+60%)																															(9) Leave In Secret 10/1, €4,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to useful chaser Groody Hill. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 2m hurdler Relkeel. Failed to complete both starts in points, pulled up latest (Feb 10). Didn't show much in two non-completions in points and best watched.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -56%) Drumgill		7 7/1(-56%)																															(4) Drumgill 7/1, Fair hurdler. Followed a good run with a below-par one when sixth of 9 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Limerick (16.4f, soft) 12 days ago. Below form last time but has a chance if bouncing back and yard amongst the winners.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/4 +40%) Downtherefordancin		1.5 6/4(+40%)																															(3) Downtherefordancin 6/4, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 13 hurdle runs. 4/1, shaped as if still in form when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago, stretched by longer trip. This trip more suitable and big shout back in a maiden. Didn't seem to stay 2m6f when disappointing at Tramore last time; a chance if rebounding.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 +20%) Fast Felix		4 4/1(+20%)																															(6) Fast Felix 4/1, Fair hurdler. 12/1, shaped as if better for the run after 5 months off when fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Player on best form. Placed in bumpers and a maiden hurdle; well below that form last twice; needs his best.
7th	2 7th (2) (300/1 -355%) County Champs		300 300/1(-355%)																															(2) County Champs 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19f, soft, 150/1) 26 days ago. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles lately and handicaps will suit better.

Thirteenth of 22 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 149 days ago. Tailed-off in a Punchestown maiden hurdle on debut and best watched for now.

DOWNTHEREFORDANCIN may appreciate dropping back in trip here after running a touch keen and failing to get home around Tramore recently. The Passing Glance gelding had run well on his previous couple of outings in handicap company and he looks good enough to win a maiden hurdle of this standard off his mark of 108. Break The Boundary's best couple of runs on the track have come over slightly further but he commands respect having posted some solid efforts since going under rules. Drumgill was well held at Limerick last time but his previous runner-up effort at Ballinrobe gives him a chance in this.

DOWNTHEREFORDANCIN and Fast Felix had excuses last time out and both should be firmly in the mix on their best form. Koori Star won his sole start in points in February and is a newcomer to note.

The John Ryan yard has been amongst the winners recently and DRUMGILL can be forgiven a below form run at Limerick last time

Half-brother to several winners, including 5f winner Moulin Booj and 6f/7f winner Flirty Rascal. Seventh of 14 in minor event (20/1) at York (6f, good) on debut 17 days ago.

TEES AGGREGATES was slowly away at Doncaster on his racecourse bow and was also hampered in the early stages. The son of Earthlight was doing is best work at the finish, and a smoother passage here could see him in the mix in a open contest. Redcar fourth, Hickton, may finish closer on this faster going, while Lesley's Boy debuted at York and is another to consider. River Blackwater and An Realta Carraig make most appeal of the newcomers.

LESLEY'S BOY showed a bit in a useful-looking novice at York on debut a fortnight ago and could take a big step forward for Richard Fahey. He gets the vote ahead of appealing newcomers River Blackwater and An Realta Carraig, for whom the betting could be informative.

Hickton and LESLEY'S BOY may be open to the greatest improvement and the latter can build on his York seventh.

2	2 (2) (9/1 -125%) The Wise Traveller		9 9/1(-125%)																															(2) The Wise Traveller 9/1, Ended 2023 on a winning note and followed up back from a break at Fakenham in April. Shade below par next 2 starts but back on track when runner-up off this mark at Huntingdon (25f, good) recently and he's one to consider. Running well but perhaps on a tough enough mark and needs the rain to stay away.
1	5 1st (5) (16/1 -45%) Ballyvaughan Bay		16 16/1(-45%)																															(5) Ballyvaughan Bay 16/1, Placed on a couple of occasions in maiden hurdles but improvement has not been forthcoming switched to handicaps of late. Beaten 8l in his latest handicap and probably wants further than the 2m3f of that day.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/8 +53%) Hobb's Delight		1.875 15/8(+53%)																															(7) Hobb's Delight 15/8, Much-improved switched to handicaps during the winter, dead-heating at Fontwell on Boxing Day and also successful over C&D in February. Respectable fourth back from a 4-month break at Cartmel 15 days ago and looks a big player with that run under his belt. Good record here and perhaps didn't take to Cartmel when a shade below his best last time.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 -100%) Starlyte		10 10/1(-100%)																															(6) Starlyte 10/1, Losing run mounting up but her mark reflects that she shouldn't be judged too harshly on what she's shown in a couple of runs since returning from a break last month. Drying ground here will aid her cause and she has to enter calculations. On a losing run but fair latest effort at Kelso and the new visor might give her a lift.
4	12 4th (12) (15/2 +63%) Release The Kraken		7.5 15/2(+63%)																															(12) Release The Kraken 15/2, Remains winless following 15 attempts over hurdle and likely to find a few too good once more. Beaten 27l by Hobb's Delight before finishing tailed off when last to finish at Uttoxeter.
5th	1 5th (1) (450/1 -4900%) Backinaction		450 450/1(-4900%)																															(1) Backinaction 450/1, Off the mark in Irish points at third attempt in January and second of his 3 qualifying runs in this sphere at Taunton was pretty encouraging. Couldn't rule out some improvement now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Possibilities on handicap debut if judged on his 11l fourth at Taunton two starts back.
6th	4 6th (4) (300/1 -1400%) Gouazec		300 300/1(-1400%)																															(4) Gouazec 300/1, Successful 3 times from 16 starts between the flags and showed a bit more than on his first 2 starts over hurdles when fifth in a 14-runner Ffos Las novice (2¾m, good to soft) last month. Improvement is not out of the question now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Triple point winner; makes handicap debut about an improved run at novice level.
7th	13 7th (13) (150/1 -1567%) Lion's Vigil		150 150/1(-1567%)																															(13) Lion's Vigil 150/1, Remains winless in this sphere following 10 attempts but was still in contention when exiting 3 out at Uttoxeter early last month and has subsequently made the frame at Ludlow (3m, good to firm) and Newton Abbot (18.5f, soft). Solid each-way chance. Arrives here on the back of respectable efforts and could be involved off his light weight.
8th	10 8th (10) (400/1 -6567%) Justshortofabubble		400 400/1(-6567%)																															(10) Justshortofabubble 400/1, Has proved remarkably consistent and likely to continue in that vein judged on recent reappearance fourth of 11 at Bangor (23.2f, good to soft). Shaped as though he'd come on for that run and a bold show could be on the way. Three-time chase winner who is 0-18 over hurdles; still respected after his Bangor run.
9th	8 9th (8) (400/1 -1900%) Camilla's Choice		400 400/1(-1900%)																															(8) Camilla's Choice 400/1, Surpassed pick of her Irish form when making second start for this yard a winning one at Bangor (23f, good) last summer. Back down to that winning mark following a string of subsequent no-shows but she clearly needs to bounce back in a major way. Has gone off the rails since winning over a trip just shy of 3m at Bangor last summer.
11	11 |PU| (11) (300/1 -1100%) Lord Getaway		300 300/1(-1100%)																															(11) Lord Getaway 300/1, Losing run stretches back to 2018 and this 12-y-o has offered little in 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in March. No win since 2018 and he's getting on now at the age of 12; modest latest run here.
9	9 |PU| (9) (350/1 -1491%) Prince Nino		350 350/1(-1491%)																															(9) Prince Nino 350/1, Struck gold twice at Perth in 2023 but form has tailed off since his latest success in September and efforts since the turn of the year have been poor. First run beyond 2¾m. Should be well handicapped but recent efforts pour cold water on that theory.
3	3 |PU| (3) (400/1 -1112%) Charlie My Boy		400 400/1(-1112%)																															(3) Charlie My Boy 400/1, Big improver over hurdles when winning a pair of handicaps at up to 2½m for Keiran Burke at the start of last summer. However, hasn't shown any spark in a handful of appearances for present yard this year and is going into the unknown stamina-wise here. Dual winner but no worthwhile form in four handicaps for current yard.

A mistake at the business end of the race put paid to HOBB'S DELIGHT's chance at Cartmel last time out, but Neil Mulholland's C&D winner can get back on track off an unchanged mark. The Wise Traveller was no match for a runaway winner at Huntingdon last month but he should go well with Jamie Gambin taking 10lb off his back. Backinaction goes handicapping off what could be a competitive mark of 103 and he warrants a market check.

Judged on his recent reappearance effort at Cartmel, HOBB'S DELIGHT remains on a fair mark and his two best efforts to date have come over this C&D. He gets the nod ahead of Starlyte, who should be close to the boil following a couple of spins last month and she has slipped to a dangerous mark. The consistent Justshortofabubble, Lion's Vigil and The Wise Traveller all make each-way appeal, while Backinaction also needs a second look now pitched into a handicap.

Returning to Southwell, HOBB'S DELIGHT looks a good bet to give his true running which didn't appear to be the case at Cartmel.

10	10 (10) (10/1 +29%) Imadpour		10 10/1(+29%)																															(10) Imadpour 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 7f on the Flat. 11/1, very good eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Engaged 6.18 Roscommon Monday. Eighth on handicap debut and failed to build on that at Roscommon on Monday evening..
8	8 (8) (16/1 -14%) Justmadeit		16 16/1(-14%)																															(8) Justmadeit 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft) 53 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Others more persuasive. Lightly raced and shown enough to believe she might be on a fair mark now handicapping.
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 -33%) Verbal Sparring		4 4/1(-33%)																															(4) Verbal Sparring 4/1, 9/2, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16.5f, soft) 56 days ago. Another bold show likely. A late mistake perhaps cost him the race at Naas; the winner went in again next time.
2	13 2nd (13) (66/1 +0%) Boston Bobby		66 66/1(+0%)																															(13) Boston Bobby 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17f, good to soft, 80/1) 13 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 2 out. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Lightly raced but pulled up in both his handicaps when 80-1.
3	11 3rd (11) (9/2 +86%) Moulane West		4.5 9/2(+86%)																															(11) Moulane West 9/2, One win from 23 NH runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Sixteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Bumper winner but stuck in a rut right now and looks risky in the new tongue-tie.
4	9 4th (9) (5/1 +9%) Bigira		5 5/1(+9%)																															(9) Bigira 5/1, 7/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. A lot more competitive since switched to handicaps, beaten 6l, about 2l and 9l.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 -83%) Grand Cru Chatho		22 22/1(-83%)																															(7) Grand Cru Chatho 22/1, Fell in handicap chase (22/1) at Thurles (18.4f, soft) on debut over fences. Off 6 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Competitive when falling in back-to-back races last year; possibilities if fit enough.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -75%) Lucky Storm		28 28/1(-75%)																															(2) Lucky Storm 28/1, Tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Twice placed in maidens but has to rebound after a forgettable handicap debut.

VERBAL SPARRING can get a deserved breakthrough success here. The Vocalised gelding has been placed four times, including on his most recent outing at Naas in mid-April. He chased home the in-form Cheerful Chap then and the form looks strong with the winner following up subsequently. Bigira hasn't been far away on her recent outings and looks an obvious danger. She ran well for Dillon Butler when third at Kilbeggan on her penultimate run. Justmadeit ran with promise in a couple of winter maiden hurdles and is one to note on her handicap debut.

VERBAL SPARRING's record over hurdles stands at 0-13 but he went down narrowly when finding only an in-form rival too strong at Naas and is taken to deservedly get his head in front here. He may have most to fear from Highland King, who hasn't done much in a handful of runs in this sphere but he was a winner on the Flat in March and has improver written all over him now going down the handicap route in this sphere. Caoimhes Pet is best of the rest.

The mare PEARLOFFLORIDA won the maiden on this card 12 months ago and she later held her own in handicaps. She's able when fresh.

Both Tiaraqueen and Apocalyx made promising debuts last year but failed to build on those efforts on their next starts. The former makes most appeal of that pair, but TRANSITIONING looks a safer proposition. Andrew Balding's charge won at Doncaster with plenty left in the tank on debut last month and may well defy a 7lb penalty. Spring Festival is a half-brother to an Italian Derby winner, while Thunder Run and Fox Spirit are other newcomers to note.

TRANSITIONING made a bright start at Doncaster 6 weeks ago, winning readily, and might be able to make it 2-2 with improvement forthcoming. Warrior's Dance and Fox Spirit head up a number of interesting newcomers, while Tiaraqueen and Apocalyx return following disappointing efforts on the back of promising debuts.

Another chance is given to TIARAQUEEN, who should still do better. Apocalyx, a similar type, is second choice

This looks an open affair. DIVILABOTHER was an eye-catcher at Down Royal last month and might be able to build on that encouraging effort. On what was just his second start in handicap company, the Markaz six-year-old raced towards rear before making steady late headway to finish a never nearer fourth of 20. With Carl Millar again claiming a valuable 7lb, the 85-rated grey should be able to make an impact. True Destiny is a dual course winner and while down the field on his return to action at Downpatrick in April, a much-improved performance can be expected from him now. Cloughroe is sure to have plenty of supporters for the father and son team of Paul and Jack Gilligan, while others for the shortlist are top-weight Tomas O Maille, recent Flat runner-up The Truant and Dick Donohoe's Contrapposto.

The vote goes to TRUE DESTINY, who should come on for his reappearance spin at Downpatrick where he was making his debut for this yard. He is 2-3 at this course and the drying ground will be in his favour. The Truant put in a good shift on the Flat last time and he looks a big threat, while Divilabother could also have a part to play if building on his improved effort at Down Royal. Cloughroe is also worth a second look.

This looks open. Preference is for THE TRUANT who needs everything to drop just right but the ability is there. Milteye is next.

Now that the penny has dropped for ATLANTIC GAMBLE, after a comfortable success at Kempton last month, there could be more improvement forthcoming from the son of Lightning Spear, and he can strike on the return to turf. A highly-encouraging second over C&D last time out, John L Sullivan looks to be his main danger on quicker ground, along with First Encounter, who has been runner-up on his last two starts.

Preference is for ATLANTIC GAMBLE, who got off the mark in a Kempton handicap last month and remains low mileage. First Encounter and Mist Rollin In head the list of dangers.

The form of the C&D handicap in which JOHN L SULLIVAN finished second in April has received numerous boosts and he can go one better.

In first-time cheekpieces, HYPERSONIC MISSILE might be able to make the breakthrough over flights, with this drop in trip likely to suit. The winner of a bumper when in the care of John McConnell, the five-year-old came in for plenty of market support on his most recent outing at Punchestown. Third on that occasion, he finished just half-a-length behind subsequent Listowel victor Rising Dust. Getabelle will have to defy top-weight if she is to complete a hat-trick. The Liam Cusack-trained seven-year-old hasn't been seen since October and will be aided by the 7lb claim of Carl Millar. A winner at Tramore in April, Ian Donoghue's Brownstone is a leading contender, while I Am Spider Man and handicap debutant Mayday Games are others of interest.

I AM SPIDER MAN looked menacing when badly hampered 2 out at Ballinrobe last time and has now shaped on a few occasions as if there's a race to be won with him from this mark. Gavin Cromwell's Hypersonic Missile shaped well when placed at Punchestown last month and is feared most ahead of the returning Getabelle, who won back to back when last seen in the autumn.

Having lost his chance when hampered at Ballinrobe last time, I AM SPIDER MAN could make up for that and score today.

2	2 (2) (11/2 -57%) Hurt You Never		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(2) Hurt You Never 11/2, Won at Newcastle earlier this year and got back on scoreboard when landing 11-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Likely contender. Progressive mare; latest Ripon win represented a personal best; should go well again.
1	7 1st (7) (17/2 -70%) Daytona Lady		8.5 17/2(-70%)																															(7) Daytona Lady 17/2, Good second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 7/2) 19 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Player if able to reproduce that form on turf. Not shone in four turf runs but she's well treated on her AW form and headgear may help.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +36%) Canaria Queen		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(6) Canaria Queen 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Each-way claims. Won C&D handicap (soft) in April; less good twice since; fast ground a question mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/2 +0%) Angle Land		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(1) Angle Land 7/2, Returned to form when third of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good, 16/1) 18 days ago and is 2 lb lower now. Shortlisted. 2lb drop for latest 3rd in good race at Goodwood is generous; respected despite wide draw.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 -20%) Jenni		12 12/1(-20%)																															(9) Jenni 12/1, Last of 7 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 14/1). Off 108 days. Makes limited appeal. Not progressing for current stable; return to turf needs to have a positive effect.

6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 +8%) Taygar		11 11/1(+8%)																															(8) Taygar 11/1, 13/2 and hooded for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Improvement required. Failed to progress from winning 2yo debut; well beaten on reappearance; enough to prove.
7th	5 7th (5) (6/1 +33%) Isle Of Dreams		6 6/1(+33%)																															(5) Isle Of Dreams 6/1, Seven wins from 18 Flat runs. 6/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Others more appealing. Prolific in handicaps but she's not hit top gear so far this year; dangerous mark though.
8th	3 8th (3) (40/1 +0%) Nammos		40 40/1(+0%)																															(3) Nammos 40/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 40/1) 11 days ago. No impact in either start for current yard. No show in two slow-ground runs for new stable; could bounce back on a faster surface.
9th	10 9th (10) (40/1 +20%) Three Beauz		40 40/1(+20%)																															(10) Three Beauz 40/1, 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 11 days ago. Hard to fancy. Ten-race maiden who needs to leave her recent reappearance well behind her.

HURT YOU NEVER regained the winning thread with a taking performance at Ripon last month and the slight rise in distance could see her in an even better light as she looks to double up. Oneforsue arrives with similar claims, having broken her maiden in comfortable fashion over 6f at Redcar last June, while Angle Land should be able to build on a strong placed effort at Goodwood last month.

HURT YOU NEVER was well on top at the finish when scoring at Ripon last month and may be able to follow up. Angle Land and Daytona Lady can also make their presence felt.

Angle Land and Hurt You Never are solid options but DAYTONA LADY is potentially well treated on a rare turf outing.

2	2 (2) (3/1 +0%) Flicker Of Hope		3 3/1(+0%)																															(2) Flicker Of Hope 3/1, Promising type. Improved again when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle (7/2) at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 13 days ago, comfortably. Can make presence felt. Improved form to win at Clonmel (2m3f) and Wexford (3m); up 8lb but has to be respected.

Fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Limerick (25.5f, good, 8/1) 19 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Disappointing over fences the last twice and has to stage a revival back hurdling.

Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Beaten a long way on handicap debut last time and has to improve loads from that.

Should remain competitive after a 7 lb rise. Got off the mark when a 20/1 winner on return at Ballinrobe; up 7lb but could improve more.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +29%) Joya Del Mar		10 10/1(+29%)																															(6) Joya Del Mar 10/1, Good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Wexford (20f, heavy) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Can give a good account. Raced sluggishly at Wexford last time but kept on over 2m4f; this trip might suit better.

Blinkers on 1st time. Was fourth at Naas but tailed-off at Wexford since and blinkers will have to work.

The hat-trick seeking FLICKER OF HOPE is a horse on the improve and looks the safest option in this long-distance heat. Having made the breakthrough at Clonmel, the Buck's Boum five-year-old followed-up at Wexford when tried over three-miles for the first time. He is again pushed out in trip and will be helped by the 7lb claim of talented amateur Adam Ryan. There was just half-a-length between Lovely Reaction and Joy Del Mar at Wexford last month and they both look to have solid claims here. The Tom Mullins-trained former already has two wins to her name and is given second preference. Unklipped, who sprang a massive 200/1 surprise at Kilbeggan last summer, is an interesting contender on her handicap debut, while Ballinrobe winner True Or False, top-weight The Dabbler and Tim Doyle's No Fussing are others for the shortlist.

FLICKER OF HOPE had plenty to spare at Wexford and can defy the handicapper again and complete a hat-trick. The return to a longer trip will suit Lovely Reaction and she can give Mark Fahey's charge most to think about. True Or False and Joya Del Mar also make the shortlist.

A rapidly improving sort, FLICKER OF HOPE (nap) has a tougher task in pursuit of a hat-trick but could well be up to it.

8	8 (8) (40/1 -100%) Jack Daniel		40 40/1(-100%)																															(8) Jack Daniel 40/1, Successful return in the mud at Thirsk last season before 2 no shows. Off 10 months. Interesting if allowed to dominate on comeback. Big chance on Thirsk win last summer (1m, soft) but well held twice after; off 11 months.
1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +44%) Own Accord		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(1) Own Accord 9/4, 9/1, won 6-runner event at this course (7f, soft) 44 days ago, wearing down one who had gone on the bridle for a fair bit longer. She can do better still now handicapping up in trip. Strong at the finish in steadily run 7f novice here in April (soft); unexposed; ground a ?.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 +0%) Victoria Falls		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(3) Victoria Falls 9/2, Won a pair of turf handicaps at the end of last summer.

3	9 3rd (9) (8/1 +27%) Reidh		8 8/1(+27%)																															(9) Reidh 8/1, 3/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen. Off 7 months. Inconsistent and tricky to make a case for on return. 0-9 but has shown promise & potentially well treated; gelded since last run; yard in form.
4	6 4th (6) (100/1 -150%) Naval Academy		100 100/1(-150%)																															(6) Naval Academy 100/1, French maiden winner but little to shout about over here, off 8 months and fifteenth of 16 in handicap (40/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago. May come on for last month's return but he isn't a solid option despite a reduced mark.
5th	4 5th (4) (100/1 -614%) Cavalluccio		100 100/1(-614%)																															(4) Cavalluccio 100/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Four AW wins but 0-6 on turf; needs to step up on latest Ripon effort now back down to 1m.
6th	12 6th (12) (100/1 -900%) Copper And Five		100 100/1(-900%)																															(12) Copper And Five 100/1, 17/2, won 11-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Remains with handicapping scope up 3 lb and merits consideration. Back to form when winning at Redcar two weeks ago (1m, soft); faster ground a plus; chance.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -633%) Mount King		66 66/1(-633%)																															(7) Mount King 66/1, Good fourth of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 24 days ago. Two 1m wins last autumn; good front-running 4th at Thirsk last month; drawn wide.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 -525%) Ciotog		100 100/1(-525%)																															(10) Ciotog 100/1, Dual 1m winner at Bath in 2023. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft, 10/1) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Becoming well treated. On a good mark and this year's AW form is solid; less good back on turf the last twice.
9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -525%) Beltane		50 50/1(-525%)																															(5) Beltane 50/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Beverley (8.4f, soft) 13 days ago. Good second there before that. Front-runner; good 2nd at Beverley last month and better than the result suggests latest.
10th	2 10th (2) (25/1 -456%) Carolus Magnus		25 25/1(-456%)																															(2) Carolus Magnus 25/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 13/2, bit below form sixth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good) 17 days ago, never nearer. Certainly retains the ability to score from this reduced mark but is a difficult sort to win with and made life hard for himself last time. Edging down the weights & this is a drop in class; interesting to see if supporters return.

OWN ACCORD can go some way to repaying the faith of her connections, having started her career in April at the age of four. The daughter of Pivotal was value for more than the winning margin when scoring here last time out over 7f and the step up in trip looks like a good move on her handicap debut. Newmarket second Victoria Falls and the capable Carolus Magnus are the dangers.

COVERT LEGEND was an eye-catcher at Thirsk 3 weeks ago, not clear run on more than one occasion and finishing on the bridle, and he's worth another chance given he's lightly raced on turf. Unexposed Own Accord, Copper And Five and Victoria Falls are dangers.

Today's ground is an unknown but OWN ACCORD is potentially a cut above this level.

Tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft, 22/1) on NH debut 33 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Well beaten in a Tipperary maiden hurdle on debut and will have to improve plenty.
7th	13 7th (13) (50/1 +24%) Whatmedo		50 50/1(+24%)																															(13) Whatmedo 50/1, Soldier of Fortune filly. Half-sister to a point winner. Dam unraced. Cost 1,500euros as a yearling and not a lot of appeal on debut.
8th	12 8th (12) (14/1 +13%) Hope No Risk		14 14/1(+13%)																															(12) Hope No Risk 14/1, No Risk At All filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Bounwell and French 2¼m chase winner Miss Braltar. A newcomer to monitor in the betting. By a leading French sire and is respected on debut with a top amateur aboard.
9th	1 9th (1) (13/2 +19%) Barnahash Arch		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(1) Barnahash Arch 13/2, Arcadio mare. Dam lightly raced and little show over hurdles/fences. Wears tongue strap. Late-starter has a tongue-tie on for debut and is best watched.
10th	11 10th (11) (66/1 -100%) Breath Of Wind		66 66/1(-100%)																															(11) Breath Of Wind 66/1, Pulled up only start in points (May 3). A watching brief is advised on Rules debut. Pulled up on debut in a point; however, a leading amateur takes the ride.
11th	8 11th (8) (100/1 -203%) Spirited Lass		100 100/1(-203%)																															(8) Spirited Lass 100/1, Walk In The Park mare. Dam, placed several times in bumpers, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¾m) Forever Gold. Wears hood. Homebred is by a top sire; hood on for debut but worth a market check.
7	7 |PU| (7) (18/1 -50%) Mrs Mc Go		18 18/1(-50%)																															(7) Mrs Mc Go 18/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, second of 11 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago, racing lazily. Second in a Downpatrick bumper after running in snatches; can improve and be involved.
4	4 |PU| (4) (100/1 -203%) Lauro Lady		100 100/1(-203%)																															(4) Lauro Lady 100/1, Lauro mare. Half-sister to 2 point winners and fair hurdler Largy Shark. Dam (c120/h108) 21f-3m hurdle/chase winner. Related to winners but likely to improve from this debut.

Jonathan Sweeney has his horses in tremendous form so far this campaign, saddling four winners from just seven runners, with the three that haven't tasted success all placed. The astute Co Cork handler is represented here by Barnahash Arch and the Arcadio six-year-old warrants the utmost respect. Syndicates Racing are represented by JANA COLOMBE and Ellen Kelly, with preference for the Gordon Elliott-trained former. Bought for 28,000 euros at the Goffs Land Rover Sale in 2022, the French bred is a half-sister to five-time Grade 1 winning stable companion Gerri Colombe. Second on debut at Downpatrick, Ellen Kelly will be well fancied to go a place better, while the locally trained Wild Mandate has some solid form to her name and is another leading hope.

ELLEN KELLY can build on her promising debut second at Downpatrick last month and go one better now. Gordon Elliott newcomer Jana Colombe, a half-sister to Gerri Colombe, would rate a possible big threat if the betting speaks in her favour. Wild Mandate may prove best of the remainder.

The same owners have ELLEN KELLY and Jana Colombe from different yards. The first-named has the benefit of a run so gets the nod.

9	9 (9) (40/1 -21%) Sir Garfield		40 40/1(-21%)																															(9) Sir Garfield 40/1, Well held in 3 starts over 5f/6f at 2 but worth a betting check now handicapping over a longer trip on his reappearance and first outing on turf. Combination of first-time headgear and new trip needs to work well.
1	2 1st (2) (10/3 +49%) Savvy Warrior		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(2) Savvy Warrior 10/3, 7/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (1¼m, good to soft) 18 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Tudhope a good booking. Best to forgive latest effort; drops in grade off a reduced mark; could go well.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/3 +5%) Berry Clever		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(7) Berry Clever 10/3, Creditable third of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 25 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Has good chance on form with the return to 7f in his favour. 0-9; has performed well off this mark twice this spring; solid contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -11%) Chatty		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) Chatty 10/1, Promising sort. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 22/1) on reappearance 14 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to improvement and enters calculations from a good draw. Showed some promise amid traffic issues at Redcar on handicap/seasonal debut.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 +23%) Beechwood Star		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(3) Beechwood Star 17/2, Blinkered first time, respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to soft, 40/1) 17 days ago. 0-8; ran well in first-time blinkers at Haydock most recently; drops in class.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -256%) Marching Mac		16 16/1(-256%)																															(4) Marching Mac 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on first time, excellent second of 9 on 7f Brighton handicap debut 14 days ago. Can make presence felt. Good second at Brighton (turf/handicap debut) two weeks ago; highly respected.
6th	10 6th (10) (100/1 -525%) Inspiring Speeches		100 100/1(-525%)																															(10) Inspiring Speeches 100/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Redcar (7f, soft) on reappearance 14 days ago. Might come on for the outing. May fare better with Redcar reappearance (behind Chatty) under his belt.
7th	12 7th (12) (100/1 -1011%) Louella		100 100/1(-1011%)																															(12) Louella 100/1, 13/2, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago, first home in group. One to consider. Placed in five of her seven handicap attempts; second off this mark latest.
8th	11 8th (11) (80/1 -220%) Vintage Love		80 80/1(-220%)																															(11) Vintage Love 80/1, Modest performer. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (6f, soft, 8/1) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Revival is possible off current mark and with Brandon Wilkie taking off 5lb.
9th	6 9th (6) (100/1 -203%) Locomotive		100 100/1(-203%)																															(6) Locomotive 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in novice at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Handicap debutant who needs improvement for the new trip.

11th	8 11th (8) (100/1 -400%) Wadacre Icarus		100 100/1(-400%)																															(8) Wadacre Icarus 100/1, Modest maiden. Last of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good, 13/2) 39 days ago. Others more persuasive. Chance depends on how well he responds to gelding operation.

Berry Clever hit the frame in a warm race at Newmarket last month and he makes obvious appeal off an unchanged mark, but MARCHING MAC is preferred. The son of Invincible Army found improvement when sent handicapping for the first time at Brighton a fortnight ago, finishing second, and a subsequent 3lb rise might underestimate him. Others to note include Chatty and Louella.

CHATTY was an eyecatcher on his reappearance and is taken to build on that promise from a handy inside draw. Berry Clever shaped well from further back than ideal at Newmarket last time and is second choice ahead of Marching Mac, who made a good start to his handicap career at Brighton recently.

A maiden handicap in all but name. MARCHING MAC (nap) may well build on his Brighton effort and Berry Clever is second choice.

1	5 1st (5) (9/4 -13%) Life On The Rocks		2.25 9/4(-13%)																															(5) Life On The Rocks 9/4, Has won twice recently, bolting up at Ayr last week in a first-time visor. He's effectively running off 7 lb higher here but it may not stop him if the headgear continues to work. Manner of last two wins very different; major claims.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +33%) Laser Focus		3 3/1(+33%)																															(4) Laser Focus 3/1, Longstanding maiden hurdler but has quickly clicked on the Flat for James Owen, winning handicaps at Windsor and Lingfield last month. The handicapper hasn't missed him with a 9 lb rise but there could easily be more to come from him in this sphere One of three bidding for a hat-trick; folly to dismiss despite 9lb rise.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -27%) Dogged		14 14/1(-27%)																															(6) Dogged 14/1, 6/1, third of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, soft) 13 days ago, running on as if this return to 1¼m will suit. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces. Seemingly building up to a bigger effort; dangerous if left alone in front.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +25%) V Twelve		12 12/1(+25%)																															(3) V Twelve 12/1, Won a 2m handicap hurdle here in March but well-held fifth back on the Flat at Thirsk in April. Not easy to assess but percentage call is to look elsewhere.
5th	1 5th (1) (100/1 -4900%) Chilled Out		100 100/1(-4900%)																															(1) Chilled Out 100/1, Made it 2-2 for current yard when quickening to lead in the final 110yds at Ripon (1¼m, soft) 12 days ago. Only another 2 lb higher and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Bids to make it 3-3 for Michael Wigham and Brandon Wilkie is a good booking.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -525%) Jewel Maker		100 100/1(-525%)																															(8) Jewel Maker 100/1, 4¾ lengths third of 4 to Chilled Out in handicap at Ripon (1¼m, soft, 5/1) 12 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Others more persuasive. Regular winner but will find easier openings than this in the coming weeks.
7th	7 7th (7) (80/1 -300%) Busby		80 80/1(-300%)																															(7) Busby 80/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good, 9/2) 28 days ago. 0-11 on turf; never involved at Ayr four weeks ago and this looks warmer.
8th	2 8th (2) (100/1 -355%) Achernar		100 100/1(-355%)																															(2) Achernar 100/1, Showed ability in his 3 qualifying runs over 1m but his opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous. Up in trip. Leap of faith is required to support on handicap debut up 2f.

Chilled Out, Life On The Rocks and LASER FOCUS all arrive in search of their hat-tricks and the latter shades preference. James Owen's charge overcame traffic problems to score at Lingfield a fortnight ago and a 9lb hike in the ratings does not look insurmountable for this son of Sea The Stars. Achernar steps up two furlongs on his handicap bow and is worth a market check.

LIFE ON THE ROCKS stormed clear when equipped with a visor at Ayr last week and will take a bit of stopping if in similar form. Fellow hat-trick seekers Chilled Out and Laser Focus can give him most to do in a warm race for the grade.

Three hat-trick seekers spice up this 0-70 apprentice handicap. CHILLED OUT has been treated kindest by the handicapper.

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.
