Just the two runners and with the pair making their debuts over fences and the chance of a tactical race, anything could happen. Both have been known to front run, but Ben Pauling has his horses in the better form so PERSONAL AMBITION gets the nod. He does have a few pounds to find on hurdles ratings with Lookaway, but he is lightly raced and could go on to be even better over the larger obstacles. His rival, also a Grade 2-winning novice hurdler, has an exciting future at this game too.

There wasn't a massive amount between LOOKAWAY and Personal Ambition as hurdlers and both possess the physique to excel over the larger obstacles this term. The former won his point and was notably slick over timber, which tilts the scales his way.

Both of the runners were Grade 2 winners over hurdles but LOOKAWAY had the best form in that sphere and he gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

THE YELLOW CLAY was far from disgraced when finishing sixth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham on his penultimate start, before finding only a classy sort too good in a Punchestown Grade 1 on his most recent start. Now stepping up in trip on his hurdles debut, he looks a novice hurdler to keep on side. Stable companion Wingmen impressed when winning a Punchestown bumper in May and he merits respect on his debut over flights, while My Lyka can also go well.

Willie Mullins' MY LYKA is the clear pick of those with experience and fancied to get off the mark in this sphere. Gordon Elliott saddles two interesting hurdling newcomers though in the shape of Wingmen (second choice) and The Yellow Clay and they should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way.

Gordon Elliott's challenge looks a daunting one and good bumper performer THE YELLOW CLAY looks to possess most of the guns
Class & Speed Card

Noble Champion cost 500,000gns last year and goes for an in-form yard, as does 400,000gns purchase Charming Life. However, a chance can be taken on fellow newcomer MAGNETITE, who changed hands for 575,000gns as a yearling and is a full-brother to Group 2 winner Elarqapm. Therefore, it would be no surprise to see him make an instant impression, while any market confidence behind Baloo's Blues would be interesting.

WHITE CROWN STAR left his debut behind when third at Yarmouth 6 weeks ago and can put his experience to good use up against some interesting newcomers, notably Charming Life, Magnetite and Grow Old With Me.

There are some interesting newcomers to consider and CHARMING LIFE gets a tentative vote over Sacred Fire.
Class & Speed Card

Battle Born Lad struck on his debut over hurdles at Hexham in October and should mount a bold bid, but he might find it tough to give 1lb KART D'ESTRUVAL. A hurdles winner in France, Dan Skelton's charge is related to plenty of winners and he looks to have found a suitable assignment on his British debut. I Play County was victorious in a bumper at Taunton when last seen in March and completes the shotlist.

French recruit KART D'ESTRUVAL is taken to provide the Skelton yard with its third winner in this novice since 2020. The 4-y-o looked highly promising in a couple of runs in France and he is not short of potential. Battle Born Lad made a positive start to his hurdles career at Hexham and, with the promise of better to come from him now upped in trip, he is second choice ahead of bumper winner I Play County.

Having got off the mark on his jumps debut BATTLE BORN LAD is taken to follow up by beating the ex-French Kart D'Estruval.
Class & Speed Card

An interesting mares' maiden that sees the highly-regarded QUEENS MELODY make her hurdling debut. A comfortable Hereford bumper winner in March, she was then thrown in at the deep end in a Grade 3 at Punchestown when only 10th, but ought to find this company more to her liking. Seas The Day was second in both her bumpers and should be a different proposition now sent jumping, making her a serious danger to all, while Walkadina and Sunset Marquesa are others for the shortlist.

This looks wide open but SUNSET MARQUESA displayed plenty of ability in bumpers last season and returning with her yard in fine form, she could be the answer. Queens Melody and Seas The Day also displayed plenty of ability in that sphere and rate likely types, too.

An interesting race in which the vote goes to useful bumper performer SUNSET MARQUESA, who could have a bright future over hurdles.
Class & Speed Card

JIMLI'S CAVE accounted for Il Silenzio (fourth) when scoring in decisive fashion over 2m6f at Downpatrick on his latest outing and he has a 7lb higher mark to contend with. Considering the manner of that success, he could prove very hard to beat again. Mullaghmore Wave has been thereabouts on each of her last two starts over fences and has to be respected on her return to this sphere, while Emily In Paris is another to keep an eye on.

BRANDT has been much improved over fences since joining his current yard and is fancied to translate that form to hurdles here and strike. Downpatrick scorer Jimli's Cave heads the list of dangers, although a case can also be made for Tilloughna, Paddy's Milestone and Sammy Smart in this very open handicap.

The one to beat is likely to be BRANDT who would have collected over fences at Sligo last month but for a last-fence unseat
Class & Speed Card

Marching Mac hosed up by 11 lengths in a class 4 event at Leicester last time and he holds an obvious chance to complete the hat-trick under a 6lb penalty. However, he might be worth taking on with KISS AND RUN, who occupied the runner-up berth in a stronger contest than this at Windsor in October and goes off the same mark today. If she can run to a similar level, she could be the one to beat. Monsieur Beaulieu completes the shortlist.

THUNDER STAR has failed to fire on all cylinders in both starts since returning from a break in September but she's down to an attractive mark and is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Marching Mac. It's rare for sprint handicaps to be won by margins such as those via which the latter has scored of late and he is a much-respected main danger. Bang On The Bell is third choice ahead of Kiss And Run and Level Up.

Marching Mac has obvious claims but KISS AND RUN is also on the up and she can record her third win of the season.
Class & Speed Card

WEST BALBOA put in an underwhelming display on her first chase start at Worcester last time, but she should improve with that experience under her belt. If she can run to the level of form she showed over hurdles, then she will prove very difficult to beat. Farnoge finished third in a Listed event over the smaller obstacles at Perth in April and is an interesting contender on his chase debut, while Cadell can beat Edison Kent home for third.

WEST BALBOA was turned over when odds on for her chase debut at Worcester but she can be expected to leave that form well behind now moving back up in trip for the yard that has saddled two of the last three winners of this novice. If Farnoge's jumping passes the test he will likely emerge as the main danger, for all that Cadell first run over fences at Perth was not devoid of promise and he should have more to offer.

The choice is FARNOGE who looks the sort to make a useful novice chaser this term. West Balboa is an obvious danger.
Class & Speed Card

Star Walking arrives unbeaten after a victory between the flags and a bumper success at Fakenham, although the form isn't really working out. RAILWAY BELL reached the frame in both her point-to-points and made the best possible start under Rules with a comfortable win in a Newton Abbot bumper in May. She may prove good enough to run the leaders down late on over this trip, while Kenmya is a multiple Flat winner on the continent and is worth a market watch ahead of her debut for Dan Skelton.

The market should reveal plenty but it's hard to ignore the claims of STAR WALKING who followed up her Irish points success with a stylish winning bumper debut at Fakenham and can now follow suit going hurdling. Fellow newcomer Railway Bell also comes here on the back of a bumper victory and is feared most, although fellow debutantes Kenmya, Reel Rosie and Jessie Jump Jet need factoring in too.

An interesting race in which bumper winner RAILWAY BELL gets the vote ahead of Star Walking, who is unbeaten in a point and bumper.
Class & Speed Card

In a wide-open contest where cases can be made for the majority of the field, it may be worth siding with SPECULATRIX, as Gordon Elliott looks to win this race for the third time in six years. She looked sure to win before falling at the last on her hurdling debut at Killarney last month and could well make amends here. Mystical Goddess won as she pleased at Clonmel and may prove her biggest rival, followed by Sansrisk, Miss Dishy and Savante, who could all have a say in the finish.

Bumper winner SAVANTE made an emphatic start to her hurdling career at Tramore recently and can find enough improvement to make an immediate breakthrough at Grade 3 level. Royal Hollow sets the standard and Speculatrix can get involved if she's recovered from a nasty fall (when looking set to win) on hurdling debut.

The Cullentra runner SPECULATRIX(nap) would have bolted up on her hurdles bow at Killarney but for falling at the last and can win this
Class & Speed Card

Magic Mild attempted to make every yard of the running when fading into third in a Group 3 at Salisbury in September and another prominent role is forecast. However, the vote goes to KODILICIOUS, who has been far from disgraced in nursery company in Ireland of late and she looks capable of landing a race of this nature. It Ain't Two arrives on the back of a solid second in the Rockingham at York and is another to consider.

KODILICIOUS has run well off big weights in handicaps the last twice and could be the way to go up in class. Magic Mild is feared most, with Magic Basma also considered on just her third start.

Jessica Harrington's KODILICIOUS (nap) won a Sligo maiden that has worked out terrifically well and she has continued to improve.
Class & Speed Card

A lengthy spell on the sidelines hasn't set LUCKIE SEVEN back because he has returned with a couple of Perth victories. The form of his latest win has been franked by the runner-up and 115 could be a lenient initial figure now Nicky Richards' useful prospect goes handicapping. Isle Of Sark and Kaituna River also dip their toes into handicap waters for the first time, although the biggest threat could come in the shape of Singapore Trip, who tasted success at Perth when last seen.

LUCKIE SEVEN had appreciably more in hand than the narrow margin of victory implies when defying a penalty at Perth in September and, open to more improvement now venturing into handicaps, he makes plenty of appeal. Welsh Charger has a good strike rate and reappears with his yard amongst the winners, so is second choice ahead of the lightly-raced Kaituna River.

The two unexposed sorts appeal most here with dual Perth scorer LUCKIE SEVEN (nap) preferred to Plumpton winner Kaituna River.
Class & Speed Card

DIAMOND DEALER had plenty in hand when winning over C&D by 26 lengths just under a month ago and the five-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite a 7lb penalty. Julius Des Pictons showed ability when trained in France and has to be of interest on his debut for these connections, while J J Moon and Gamblergo are also noted.

GOT A DREAM was the best of these in bumpers, finishing better than mid-field in a Grade 2 at Aintree on final start, and is preferred over last month's C&D winner Diamond Dealer, who shoulders a 7 lb penalty. Julius des Pictons looks an interesting recruit from France having split a pair of subsequent winners when just edged out in a novice hurdle at Fontainebleau when last seen 12 months ago.

The penalty asks a question of him but DIAMOND DEALER delivered a useful performance here last time, for all that he was left clear.
Class & Speed Card

Although official ratings would suggest Daddy Long Legs, an emphatic winner at Tipperary last month, is the one to beat, BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD can prove too strong. Six from seven so far, Gordon Elliott's mare put the boys in their place when routing the field in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April. Her only defeat came at the Cheltenham Festival the previous month and she will take all the beating if returning on song. Stablemate King Of Kingsfield appeals most of the remainder.

BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD is taken to enhance Gordon Elliott's fine recent record in this Grade 3 contest, a race he has saddled the winner of three times in the last four years. The 5-y-o has tasted defeat just once from seven career starts and she looked very good indeed when landing a Grade 1 at the Aintree Grand National meeting. Daddy Long Legs thumped Smooth Tom and three others in a Tipperary Grade 3 last month and he is the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemate King of Kingsfield.

Impressive against geldings in a Grade 1 at Aintree in April, BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD can make a winning start to her campaign
Class & Speed Card

MONTEZUMA showed plenty of pace over 7f at Kempton on debut, but paid the price when tiring in the closing stages. This drop to 6f looks the logical move and the Godolphin colt may prove the one to side with. Sixtygeesbaby finished strongly to take fourth at Windsor on his introduction and he can feature with improvement expected having been subsequently gelded, while Stardancer is a brother to three winners and the son of Dark Angel is preferred to Jolly Roger of the newcomers.

Things conspired against MONTEZUMA on his recent Kempton debut and given his pedigree and connections, it would come as no surprise whatsoever were he a different proposition this time. Sixtygeesbaby also shaped nicely on debut and he can improve, with Jolly Roger perhaps the pick of the newcomers.

Charlie Appleby's MONTEZUMA is preferred to Sixtygeesbaby among those who have run, but they don't set a particularly high standard
Class & Speed Card

LIAM SWAGGER is part of a good team of early-season juveniles for James Owen and the Gredley family, and comfortably accounted for Torrent and subsequent dual winner Model Approach when making a successful start to his jumping career at Market Rasen. Torrent is much better off at the weights but, even so, Liam Swagger is fancied to take the next step up the hurdling ladder. Denzil didn't have much to beat at Stratford but still couldn't have done it any easier, while Static has picked up plenty of experience in France.

LIAM SWAGGER is a relative to one that connections have already enjoyed success with and he looked a good prospect in his own right when scoring easily at Market Rasen on his first hurdling outing, so he's marginally preferred to Model Approach, who should take a hand under a positive ride. Inspire Hope is another one to consider.

The vote goes to TORRENT, who was second to Liam Swagger at Market Rasen last time and can reverse the form on these better terms.
Class & Speed Card

CHARLOTTE'S WEB made a winning handicap debut over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in September. The Night Of Thunder filly looks certain to have more in the locker, and she is taken to defy a 5lb rise en route to further success. Typical Woman came up short when finishing second in her hat-trick bid at Newmarket last month but this is a drop in class and she features prominently in calculations. Three Platoon struggled over timber last time out, but he's of definite interest back on the Flat.

CHARLOTTE'S WEB took a big step forward when making a winning handicap bow at Wolverhampton in good style 6 weeks ago and can defy a 5 lb rise with further progress likely. Typical Woman was unable to complete the hat-trick when second at Newmarket but she still pulled clear of the rest and remains of interest, while Johnny Ringo caught the eye over C&D last month.

This can go to CHARLOTTE'S WEB (nap) who won nicely on her Wolverhampton handicap debut. It's likely she still has improvement left.
Class & Speed Card

HONNEUR D'AJONC bounced back to form when winning over an extended 2m1f at Fontwell, on just his third start for this yard. A 6lb rise for that success seems fair as he may have more improvement left to come. The hat-trick seeking Hawaii Du Mestivel is an obvious threat, but he is 14lb higher than when scoring at Bangor in September. Others to consider are Call To Duty and Tommie Gun.

A case can be made for a few of these but HAWAII DU MESTIVEL arrives firmly on the up so is taken to bag his hat-trick and defy a career-high mark. Honneur d'Ajonc is feared most on the back of his Fontwell victory, with Kay Tara Tara, Horsesomeharry and Chankaya all in the mix too.

The pick is hat-trick-seeker HAWAII DU MESTIVEL (nap) who won in emphatic style in his last two runs and is open to more progress.
Class & Speed Card

SOMEONE'S WISH won a beginners chase at Downpatrick in September and was only narrowly denied at Cork last time. Now switched to handicaps, the four-year-old could be hard to beat off a workable mark. If You Let Me hit the crossbar on the level last week and should not be underestimated, while Calico and Hypotenus are others who merit places on the shortlist in an open event.

SOMEONE'S WISH has made a positive start over fences, proving 1¼ lengths too strong for the re-opposing Tuckmill on debut in this sphere at Downpatrick prior to going close in his follow up bid at Cork last month. The 4-y-o probably has more to offer as a chaser and earns preference ahead of Hypotenus and General Clermont.

Most of them have a life but maybe CALICO, after a couple of runs to blow away the cobwebs, can capitalise on a drop in grade
Class & Speed Card

CLAXTON BAY has improved for a change of scenery and was having only his third start for Richard Hannon when winning at Beverley in September. He has scope for further improvement off his current rating and is taken to defy a 3lb rise. Sixfiveseven appreciated the drop in distance when finishing runner-up over a mile at Brighton and there looks more to come from him, while Buy The Dip placed at Brighton in August and he makes more appeal than Dembe.

CLAXTON BAY has been bang in form lately and, while this is a step up in grade, he's fancied to put up another bold showing. Dembe is an obvious threat in that he scored off the same mark at Kempton last time, but he's seemingly not as effective on turf. Buy The Dip should give another good account.

Dakota Power is interesting on his best form but GROVELY BELLE looks a potential improver now she goes handicapping.
Class & Speed Card

Galop De Chasse has been off for the best part of a year but proved by winning at Newbury that he goes well fresh. Midnight River has been absent for almost as long - since falling in the Coral Gold Cup - but is another who doesn't usually need a run to put him right. His stablemate Heltenham came to grief in the Ayr race in which PRAIRIE WOLF finished third and that seven-year-old is given the nod to get a win on the board for the new partnership of Joel Parkinson and Sue Smith, with last month's spin over timber here expected to have brought him to the boil.

Compelling cases can be tabled for each member of the quintet. PRAIRIE WOLF made good progress in this sphere last season and, with the promise of better to come from him this time round and a recent run over hurdles under his belt, he gets the nod. Galop de Chasse enhanced his good record when fresh by landing a Newbury handicap on his sole start of last season and he is a big threat, while Heltenham could be the pick of the Skelton-trained duo, despite jockey bookings suggesting otherwise.

A trappy handicap. PRAIRIE WOLF was a progressive chaser last season and he's readily forgiven his comeback run over hurdles.
Class & Speed Card

Kaleidoscope Eyes finished a creditable second over 7f at Southwell last time out. If coping with the drop in trip, he can be a real force from an unchanged rating, but preference is for BLUE LAKOTA, who showed signs of ability across his three runs in novice company. A half-brother to two winners on the all-weather, the switch to nurseries looks more realistic and an opening mark of 55 may underestimate Kevin Ryan's gelding. Monticristo Boy can chase the pair home.

KALEIDOSCOPE EYES surpassed the form for her previous yard when runner-up at Southwell last week and she has strong claims of going one place better. Monticristo Boy is solid at this level and feared most.

Preference is for KALEIDOSCOPE EYES, second on stable debut at Southwell last time. He is 2lb well in and a drop to 5f is interesting.
Class & Speed Card

CRYSTAL GLANCE confirmed the promise that she displayed on debut when scoring at Bangor in May. An opening mark of 85 should be workable for the four-year-old and she edges out Ivegotdapower to be the pick in an open event. The latter also won on his most recent outing and may have more to offer, while George Mallory is next best.

It wasn't a deep race that CRYSTAL GLANCE won at Bangor during the spring but the assessor has by no means gone overboard and, very much the type to go improving, this well-bred filly makes plenty of appeal. She isn't the only runner in here with potential though as Gwennie May Jem and Military Tycoon and surely open to progress.

Alarm bells ring for Gwennie May Jem but there's guesswork involved and CRYSTAL GLANCE is taken to improve on her Bangor win in May
Class & Speed Card

Gordon Elliott has won seven of the last eight renewals of this contest, and the smart hurdler FIREFOX makes the most appeal of the yard's three runners this time. The six-year-old finished runner-up in the Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown in April and is the one to beat if transferring that level of form to the larger obstacles. Stablemate Big Stage could also go well, although Mossy Fen Park may prove a bigger threat on his chasing bow.

This maiden chase has been won by some smart types over the years and FIREFOX is taken to add his name to that list. He performed with great credit in Grade 1 novice hurdles at the three big festivals on both sides of the Irish Sea during the spring, and he has the potential to develop into a top-notch novice chaser. Mossy Fen Park showed plenty over hurdles last season, too, and he gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of the long-absent Gringo D'aubrelle.

It will be a shock if classy novice hurdler FIREFOX, placed in Grade One company at the spring festivals, doesn't score on chase debut
Class & Speed Card

Marsh Benham has been kept busy and seems to have two ways of running, but he did win twice last month and can't be written off following a Leicester defeat. Astronomica and SWATCH were both ahead of him there, though, and while the former gave favourite-backers a good run for their money in second, the Moores' new recruit might be able to improve past her now faced with an additional furlong. Chourmo went agonisingly close at Brighton and is another to consider.

CHOURMO comes here at the top of his game and, with the form of his recent Brighton second having been franked, he looks the way to go. Astronomica signalled he is ready to go close though when runner-up at Leicester last time out so rates a big threat, while Little Tiger, Midsummer Music, Swatch and Moonlit Cloud all command respect too in this competitive handicap.

This looks open but JACK SPAROWE, Chourmo and Ataser make up the shortlist.
Class & Speed Card

QUEENS VENTURE made it two wins from two handicap starts when fairly bolting up over an extended 2m4f at Southwell recently, defying a 7lb penalty in the process. He races off an 11lb higher mark now, but the suspicion is that the handicapper might not have her where he wants her just yet and she is can complete the hat-trick. Knacker Trapper just failed to get up over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time and, stepping up in trip off a 1lb higher mark, he must enter calculations. Sauce Of Life is also noteworthy.

QUEENS VENTURE is improving too fast for the penalty system to keep a lid on her, so she's taken to complete the hat-trick. Knacker Trapper and Bitsnbuckles can battle it out for minor honours.

This can go to QUEENS VENTURE who is 2-2 in handicaps and has plenty of scope for further progress. Knacker Trapper is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

An open contest with a few of these expected to improve for the switch to nurseries, so only a tentative vote can go to U S GRANT. The gelded son of Camelot faced a stiff task at York last time and, though yet to beat a rival, his latest effort wasn't devoid of promise. He's a half-brother to a few useful types and, from a basement mark with cheekpieces applied for the first time, it would come as no surprise to see him step forward. Miss Lalita has already proven her liking for this surface and she is considered, along with Fastnet Jenkins.

FASTNET JENKINS took a step forward when fourth on her nursery bow here last time and gets the vote over Miss Lalita and Coverbridge.

The vote goes to previous course winner COVERBRIDGE. The evidence of his last two starts suggests this stiff mile may suit him.
Class & Speed Card

BRIDGET MARY wasn't always the most fluent on her chasing bow, but that didn't stop her from winning at Stratford. The six-year-old ought to have learned plenty from that experience and, with the prospect of more to come, a 4lb rise might prove lenient. Blue Ridge Hill showed only moderate form over hurdles, but he's bred to appreciate the switch to fences and is of interest with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Others to note include Minella Miracle and Song Of Earth.

PEP TALKING failed to meet expectations after 4 months off at Southwell but she's worth another chance with that run under her belt. Bridget Mary made a winning chase bow at Stratford despite making mistakes so is entitled to progress, while Paddy In The Caddy makes most appeal of the chasing newcomers.

This looks tricky but it might be worth sticking with BRIDGET MARY who produced a strong finish when scoring on her recent chase debut.
Class & Speed Card

Gordon Elliott won this with Firefox last year and has a strong chance once again with JACOB'S LADDER. The five-year-old was caught at the finish on his Rules debut in a Punchestown bumper and a repeat of that level of form would make him a tough nut to crack. Stable companion Kalypso'chance was bought for 85,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point in England and he is likely to pose a solid threat along with Jerry From Kerry, who scored at Ballinrobe on his penultimate start.

Point winner JACOB'S LADDER travelled like the best horse in the race when runner-up at Punchestown on debut and, 6 months on, he should be able to go one better at the likely expense of stablemate Kalypso'chance, who has also tasted success between the flags. Jerry From Kerry deserves some respect, too.

There was nothing to dislike about the debut of JACOB'S LADDER at Punchestown in May and he should take the beating
Class & Speed Card

On The River has justified market support in testing conditions at York and Haydock, while First Officer also arrives in winning form following a determined display over a furlong shorter here. Loving Look has made the frame twice since going handicapping on the back of a Kempton triumph, but a chance is taken that SEA JOURNEY's initial mark is a workable one. The beautifully-bred filly offered encouragement at this venue and Lingfield prior to a Kempton disappointment and is open to any amount of improvement.

LOVING LOOK has taken her form up a notch since sent into handicaps and can gain a deserved victory here at the chief expense of On The River, who rates a major danger in his bid for a fifth win of 2024. Both First Officer and Sea Journey can't be discounted either in an intriguing event.

The consistent LOVING LOOK is taken to get the better of First Officer. On The River is unraced over this far.
Class & Speed Card

In a race stacked with unknown quantities, GLOBAL ECLIPSE gets the tentative vote. The three-year-old son of Pether's Moon is out of a half-sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run and, making his debut for the in-form Dan Skelton team, he may have enough in the locker to score first time up. Adaay Forever is a half-brother to several Flat winners and Alan King's gelding may emerge as the main danger, while 11,000gns purchase Snow Dragon completes the shortlist for a yard among the winners of late.

This is tricky to assess without the benefit of market clues but GLOBAL ECLIPSE is bred for hurdling where as the majority of his rivals have predomintantly Flat-based breeding, so he's worth a chance to make a winning start for a top yard. Romancier and Adaay Forever are both worthy of consideration bearing in mind their trainers should have them well schooled.

The market should be highly informative, but at this stage the vote goes to GLOBAL ECLIPSE, who is a brother to a French hurdle winner.
Class & Speed Card

A small field over the six furlongs could play into the hands of DIMSONS, who may make all dropping back a furlong. Caught late on over further at Kempton to go down by a neck in May before being beaten twice since, that still looks the best form on offer. Instant Bond showed some promise despite a slow start when sixth at Southwell and he may follow the suggestion home, leaving Bear Rock as the tentative suggestion for third place.

This is a good deal easier than the handicap DIMSONS contested at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago and with 6f no issue and credible rivals thin on the ground, he really should make no mistake. Instant Bond is the tentative forecast shout.

This is about as weak as you can get. DIMSONS hasn't built on his promising return, but his form is still way above that of the others.
Class & Speed Card

Norr's Cross was just touched off at Tipperary on his Rules debut in May and, now in the care of David Pipe, he is likely to prove popular. Fergal O'Brien often does well in this type of contest so Nathan's Run warrants a market check, as does Jamie Snowden's Fresh Perspective, who won between the flags in January. However, a chance can be taken on BEAU GOLD. The 92,000-euro purchase is a half-brother to the smart Predators Gold, who won on his sole bumper appearance, and it would come as no surprise were the O'Neills' four-year-old to follow suit.

This looks an interesting bumper on paper with point winner FRESH PERSPECTIVE selected before any betting clues. Good cases can also be made for Norr's Cross, Nathan's Run, Beau Gold and Little Dipper.

Little Dipper and RIVER RIDER shaped well in one start last season and the selection is fancied to make a winning stable debut.
Class & Speed Card

Trainer Jessica Macey took this race last year with Jenever and bids to repeat the dose with Phoenix Star, a five-time C&D winner (the latest off 2lb higher) who could get involved again. Blue Force may prove popular despite carrying top-weight after his Wolverhampton second, but NORTHERNER is narrowly preferred. Due to go up 1lb for future contests after his recent C&D second, stall one has produced two of the six winners of this contest and that may be all the advantage he needs.

Plenty are in with a shout but the vote goes to CALAFRIO who is able to race off the same mark as when a resurgent Southwell second last time out. C&D winner Blue Force heads the list of dangers with in-form pair Northerner and Jack of Clubs both firmly in the mix too. Cuban Rock completes the shortlist.

An open race in which PHOENIX STAR is marginally preferred to Blue Force and Northerner.
Class & Speed Card

FLASH THE CASH wasn't disgraced at a big price in Listed company on her last visit here and is up to winning a maiden. She finished mid-division in the Legacy Stakes after meeting some trouble in running. The Bungle Inthejungle filly had run a big race when second in a maiden here previously and her mark of 84 sets the standard. Tempest Star had a couple of nice placed efforts in the summer and she is one to note on her return from a little break. Aidan O'Brien runs two and Brightest Star could be an improver. She was too keen on her debut at Naas and may be capable of better now.

BOBBI ROSA took a big step forward on her nursery bow when second over C&D last week and sets the standard back in a maiden. Tempest Star is worth another chance to confirm debut promise back from a break so is next best head of Bansha Belle, who caught the eye on debut here 6 weeks ago.

Plenty of these have a shout but a chance is taken on NEVER NOT LUCKY who appeals as the type to improve dropping to 5f.
Class & Speed Card

Rogue Encore was supported in the market at Haydock when finishing sixth of 11, but connections add first-time cheekpieces here as he drops a class looking for a better performance. He can go well, but AFRICAN SPIRIT could make the most of a drop in trip after campaigning unsuccessfully over further in better company. His one win was here over 7f on debut, and a repeat of that form may be all he needs. Wind River is another dropping back in trip and he may follow them home.

COMMANDER OF LIFE is on a long losing run but is weighted to go close on the back of his good recent Wolverhampton fourth. In-form top-weight Siam Fox appeals next, with Bear Force One the pick of the remainder.

The selection is COMMANDER OF LIFE who looked unlucky not to go even closer when fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton a week ago.
Class & Speed Card

BABYFACE ran a nice race when fourth at the Curragh last time and looks up to winning a race of this standard. The Kuroshio gelding was beaten two and a quarter lengths in a competitive contest, won by Art Of Unity, and that run looks even better considering he was racing from 3lb out of the handicap. Senado Square tops the weights and drops back to five again having run well over this trip on his penultimate visit. He could be a big player in a moderate looking contest. My Girl Sioux is a long standing maiden but has been knocking on the door and might grab prize-money again.

It could be worth chancing SAM'S XPRESS, who's potentially on a good mark back on AW. Babyface and Iva Batt are feared most.

A few interesting jockey bookings here including Ben Coen's presence on SENADO SQUARE who was runner-up over C&D two runs ago

PROJECT GEOFIN's two previous visits to Gosforth Park have yielded two victories, and he looks well capable of going in again here. Geoff Oldroyd's charge did it well when scoring over this track and trip last time, making eye-catching headway before finding plenty when asked, and the suspicion is that a 3lb rise underestimates him. A 2lb rise for a recent Kempton victory doesn't discount Follow Your Heart, while this represents an ease in grade for Swiss Ace and he completes the shortlist.

PROJECT GEOFIN resumed winning ways with his best effort to date when scoring over C&D 4 weeks ago and can make it 3-3 here. Danielsflyer and Follow Your Heart are feared.

Follow Your Heart remains feasibly weighted but the return to AW can see MIGHTY POWER bounce back to his best.

Course specialist HARRY'S BAR can bag another win here. The Exceed And Excel gelding has eight course victories under his belt and ran well on his return to the track when chasing home Valiant Force in a conditions race early last month. He looks capable of scoring off this kind of mark in handicap company. Tango Flare is another smart sort and heads the weights. He has been behind progressive sprinter My Mate Alfie on his last couple of outings and this looks like a slightly easier task. Arnhem was a couple of lengths behind the selection here last month and is weighted to get closer now.

This looks decidedly trappy so a chance is taken on DONTSPOILASALE, who is anything but prolific but the assessor has given him a chance returned to his favoured surface. Arnhem is back at a much more suitable level so is feared, along with Daamberdiplomat returned to his optimum trip.

It may be worth taking a chance on DAAMBERDIPLOMAT, not the most straightforward but down to just 1lb above what he won off last winter

STREAK LIGHTNING impressed when scoring cosily over this track and trip on his penultimate start and, with excuses for his recent low-key display over C&D, he gets the vote to return to winning ways here. Cancan In The Rain has been knocking on the door of late and, on the back of a solid third over this trip at Southwell last time out, he can emerge as the main danger to the selection off an unchanged mark. This ease in grade should see Bajan Bandit in a better light and he merits consideration.

ALREET CHA reacted well to first-time cheekpieces when landing a C&D novice last time and the handicapper has given her a chance by not altering the mark too much, so she gets the nod over in-form pair Cancan In The Rain and Patontheback.

The vote goes to BEATTIE IS BACK whose record over 7f on Tapeta reads 31612.

EMPRESS XJ looks the potential improver in the field and may be able to step forward from her debut effort at Naas. The Inns Of Court filly missed the kick that day and made up ground in the straight before flattening out in the closing stages to finish fifth to Whispersinthewind. The second and fourth from that race have won since so the form looks solid. There are a few of these are rated very similarly. Touch The Sound is still relatively unexposed. She didn't get home after travelling well at Navan last time but had run a big race when second previously at Leopardstown and could be the danger. Polaris Dancer is more exposed but has some solid form.

Not a strong-looking maiden and EMPRESS XJ might be the way to go. She was fancied in the betting when showing a fair bit on debut at Naas 3 weeks ago, and with 2 of her rivals in front of her that day having scored since she could be set for a big run with improvement likely. Lady Pagasa and Touch The Sound are a couple of the threats.

A very open look to this maiden but TOUCH THE SOUND may have more improvement in her than most

This may prove to be a good opportunity for JUST TYPICAL to land a breakthrough victory. Ian Williams' charge was touched off late on when finishing a half-length second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton recently and, eased in trip off an unchanged mark now sporting cheekpieces for the first time, he looks well capable of going one place better. Gunnerside wasn't disgraced when a staying-on fifth over 6f here on Tuesday and, stepping up in trip off the same mark, he can make his presence felt. Concert Boy fared best of those held up off the pace when third over C&D latest and he completes the shortlist off a 1lb lower mark.

CONCERT BOY is well handicapped and has been shaping up well, again travelling well in rear when third over C&D last time, so he can make his presence felt if the race is run to suit. Believe Me Now and Just Typical are obvious dangers.

The vote goes to the top-weight GUNNERSIDE who is usually seen over shorter trips but is 1-1 over this C&D.

All PUNK POET's wins here have come over a mile and he may be able to bag a sixth course success now. The Power gelding ran well over seven here three weeks ago when third to Eddie G and remains on the same mark of 73. Black Storm won a weak enough maiden here early last month and has been given a mark of 79 for his handicap debut. This is tougher now but he's open to further improvement on just his third career outing. The handicapper has been giving the consistent Pier Pressure a bit of a chance and he's another that has to come into calculations.

PUNK POET has slipped to a handy mark and left the strong impression that his turn is near when third over 7f here three weeks ago. The return to this trip will be no bad thing and he is preferred to Black Storm, who confirmed his debut promise when landing a maiden here and there should be better to come from this unexposed 3-y-o. Letiza took a step back in the right direction when third on debut for new yard at Cork and she is a live each-way player, along with Rampage.

Following a good debut run for Henry de Bromhead at Cork recently when well-backed, LETIZA can recoup losses here

Four-time C&D winner FEATURE THIS may be able to strike again at the venue. He has run well on his two starts since joining Ian Donoghue and was a bit unlucky when meeting traffic and failing by a nose to get up here a fortnight ago. The handicapper gave him 4lb for that effort but connections take 10lb off now by legging up Sam Coen. Comfort Line ran really well on his last visit here when going down by half a length to Dynamite Defense and is an obvious contender again. Finsceal Annie has been holding her form well and has place claims.

NAWRAQ has never really looked a natural over hurdles so his recent efforts in that code can be excused and he's fancied to get back on track returned to the Flat. Feature This has a good-value 10 lb claimer up so she's in the mix, along with Comfort Line.

Already a four-time C&D winner, FEATURE THIS can add another to that haul after running a fine race in defeat over 7f here.

GLENCULLEN looks capable of landing one of these based on recent showings. He has run solid races on his last couple of outings at the Curragh and was a good third on his last visit here in late September. This doesn't look the strongest race now and is a nice opportunity for the relatively lightly-raced four-year-old. Poppy Pimento was placed a couple of times on the turf during the summer and could be a big player here if taking to the all-weather surface first time. Master Garvey has dropped a few pounds and ran a decent race at Navan last time. He could get involved now.

VIVA VOCE continues in form and looks the way to go making a belated return to AW (this is his polytrack debut but he did well on tapeta when trained in Great Britain). Moyassr and Ascendent are a couple of the other likely players.

RAGTIME MILLY likely found the ground too soft at the Curragh last time and can get off the mark today.
Class & Speed Card

BURREN SONG has run well in competitive contests on his last couple of outings and looks to have a big chance under title chaser Wayne Hassett. He was eased a pound after finishing fourth to Squire Danagher here three weeks ago and this looks a slightly lesser contest now. Church Mountain obviously commands respect coming here in search of a hat-trick. He got up late on over the extended 1m2f here a fortnight ago but went up 7lb for that victory and doesn't have a claimer on board this time. Slieve Binnian has gained three of his four wins around here and is another that has to come into the mix.

PRALOGNAN lurks on a tempting mark and is worth chancing back on AW having gone close on his only other start on polytrack. Autocrat and the hat-trick seeking Church Mountain, if he stays, are dangers.

It could pay to keep the faith with IT'SONLYJUSTBEGUN, who looks to have been crying out for this sort of trip

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.
