Having unseated on his first two attempts over timber, RONNIES RULES was able to keep the partnership intact to record a commanding success at Ffos Las recently. He must shoulder a penalty for that success but can repeat the dose. Twice a beaten favourite over flights so far, perhaps returning to the scene of last year's bumper triumph will help Bear Market. Lemon Leaf heads the remainder.

Recent Ffos Las winner Ronnies Rules is opposed with LEMON LEAF, who was fourth in a good Naas bumper in December.

Although ASTA LA PASTA struggled in the Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton last month, this isn't as competitive and there is a real chance he'll gain an uncontested lead. Flic Ou Voyou hit the woodwork in a valuable veterans' final at Haydock latest and is respected, along with Sainte Doctor, who has improved markedly over the larger obstacles since returning in February.

The vote goes to PRINCE ESCALUS who ran well to a point at Perth last month, after a layoff, and has slipped to a tempting mark.

RAMBO T left it late to get up at Perth on his return to action and although a 4lb rise looks harsh given the manner of that victory, another bold showing likely beckons. The son of Ocovango has an excellent strike-rate over timber and is taken to repel the likely challenge of Fingal's Hill, who struck the woodwork at Kelso when attempting to follow up on his earlier Newcastle success. Aucunrisque should not be underestimated either.

Neil Mulholland's IKE SPORT ran well in two competitive handicaps (one over C&D) last month and gets the verdict in this easier race.

FANTASTIC LADY has struggled in some very competitive events the last twice but it would be no surprise to see Nicky Henderson's mare bounce back to form in this company. The Wolf has been knocking hard on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Sail Away edges out Stormin Crossgales to be best of the rest.

This can go to SAIL AWAY (nap), who is only 2lb higher than when keeping on well to go close in a series final in March.

MASKED DANCE showed more when second at Huntingdon earlier in the month and that form gives the seven-year-old a big chance here. That said, Versace Twentyone got off the mark over hurdles at Ludlow last time and has to be noted with the prospect of further progression. Others who merit places on the shortlist include Midnight Ginger, Wudya and Hiconic.

Last year's winner MASKED DANCE returned to form with a pretty good second at Huntingdon last week and can defend her crown.

LIVELY CITIZEN benefited from the application of cheekpieces when running out a comfortable winner over fences at Ffos Las 10 days ago, and the veteran performer may take advantage of running off the same mark back over timber. It's A Love Thing has been in excellent form on the level and may well be fairly handicapped switching back to hurdles. Others to note are Bannister and Fandabidozi.

The pick is IT'S A LOVE THING, who has been back in very good form on the Flat lately and is still unexposed over hurdles.

ANGEL OF MY DREAMS impressed when scoring in a point-to-point in March and the daughter of Jack Hobbs makes plenty of appeal on her Rules bow, especially in receipt of the four-year-old allowance. Amatchmadeinheaven got the better of Couer D'alene at Exeter and the pair are likely to go well, while others to consider include Call Me Early and Out On Her Own.

The filly ANGEL OF MY DREAMS easily won a point bumper on her debut in March and looks a pretty good candidate for this.

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.
