The underfoot conditions have turned in favour of DEPUTY. Michael Dods' sprinter has won four times on soft ground, including at Redcar last autumn, and a bold bid looks likely. Sacred Falls is not badly treated either and she could go well for Joanna Mason, while Parisiac is versatile in regards to the going and steps back up in trip with a shout.

Parisiac is a leading contender but SIR MAXI could be arriving on the scene late and fast.

Banderas returns to the level with a shout, having won over hurdles at Southwell last month, while Different Drum could also land a blow following a 2lb drop for a solid enough display at Pontefract last month. The vote, though, goes to ANIMATO, who recorded victories off higher marks in 2024 and is expected to step forward from her return at Haydock.

It could pay to side with the fair ex-Irish winning hurdler A MERE BAGATELLE who starts out for James Owen on a handy-looking mark

It was soft going when ON THE RIVER prevailed by only a nose in the Carlisle Bell last month. He would have won by further with a clear run, so a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent Harriet Bethell's charge from going in again. Yermanthere went close at the same fixture and is likely to prove competitive off 2lb higher, while Goodwood winner Tempus arrives in fine form.

Low-milage 4yo SHERIFF'S COURT is much less exposed than his rivals and may be the answer. On The River is second choice.

Wheres The Crumpet was a game winner over C&D most recently and can figure prominently off just 3lb higher. However, it could be worth taking a punt on fellow track-and-trip winner ARRANMORE. The Micky Hammond-trained gelding runs off 27lb below that last winning rating and could be an ideal type for a race of this nature. Martin's Brig and Diligent Henry complete the shortlist.

This looks a good opportunity for WHERES THE CRUMPET (nap) to defy a 3lb rise and follow up her C&D victory

With many of these struggling to find their level, SHARK TWO ONE appears well placed to extend a run of good form. After following up a couple of recent placed efforts with a win at Leicester three weeks ago, he can be expected to run another big race. Mile By Mile is still lightly raced and is attractively weighted, while Top Gun Tina boasts each-way claims.

A few with chances but the vote goes to Leicester classified scorer SHARK TWO ONE, who reverts to handicaps off a handy-looking mark

RAVENSCRAIG CASTLE bounced back to form when second over this trip at Hamilton last time and the seven-year-old merits plenty of respect on the back of that performance, despite a 1lb rise. Fast Fred has been running consistently well in defeat of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Chillhi and Whatacracker are others with strong form claims.

The 5yo FAST FRED knows how to win races (had a hat-trick last year) and he beat all bar a progressive rival on his latest start.

The recent course winner Bellasio has to be noted, but a 4lb rise and step up in trip demands more from him here. With that in mind, preference is for MILTEYE, who has been running well in defeat of late and only found one too good off this mark over 1m2f at Ripon last time. The shortlist is completed by Poet's Dawn, Catton Lady and Izzari.

The 10yo POET'S DAWN ran a cracker last week at York when faring best of those who raced prominently.

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.
