Although yet to score in a handicap, this could be BEL AMIGO's day. Three from three at this venue, the gelding has race fitness on his side and is fancied to regain the winning thread back at his favourite track. Ambassador made all to score at Cartmel in August and is not ruled out, despite a couple of lacklustre performances since. The returning King Ulanda is also noted.

Three-time course winner BEL AMIGO ran well when third at Perth three weeks ago and earns the vote now back here.

TELLHERTHENAME faced a number of stiff tasks over timber last season but, if taking to fences, this could be a fine opportunity. The son of Malinas is weighted to go well on these terms and gets the vote, but so is Push The Button, who struggled in a warm handicap hurdle at Sandown when last seen in April. Ruby Island receives weight from the boys and is by no means out of this herself.

The lightly raced point and two-time hurdle winner TELLHERTHENAME has a good record when fresh and is the selection.

Point-to-point winner Cave Bridge makes his debut under Rules and is one of the more appealing candidates, but DRIVER'S PICK is preferred. The son of Too Darn Hot showed ability on the Flat when trained in France but disappointed on his stable bow at Ripon latest. A switch to hurdles could be beneficial, though, and it would come as no great surprise were he to find the necessary progress. Ryebridge can chase that pair home.

Point winner CAVE BRIDGE has joined a good stable for his rules career and can make a winning start in this sphere.

ALMAZHAR GARDE has hit a rich vein of form of late, and his race fitness can tell in a contest of this nature. A 3lb rise for his most recent success at Worcester could prove lenient, and he is likely to have too much for the returning Your Own Story, who was runner-up at a higher level on his penultimate start at Kelso. A creditable third on each of his last two outings, Presentandcounting is entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Dare To Shout is respected but preference is for the resurgent 10yo ALMAZHAR GARDE, who has won at Worcester on his last two starts.

A consistent sort throughout last season, BORN IN THE WEST wasn't beaten far on his two latest outings over further and dropping back in trip could suit ideally on his return. A mark of 105 still looks manageable and he is narrowly preferred to Looking Splendid, who is due to go up 3lb after this having scored comfortably at Kelso earlier in the month. Hexham runner-up Longstone Cowboy and Kuzco are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Topweight BORN IN THE WEST ran well in defeat in two strong races at the end of last season and is taken to make a winning return.

HELLO JUDGE counts the 2023 renewal of this race among his four previous course wins and his affinity with this venue makes the consistent nine-year-old a highly tempting proposition once again. Realisation is of low-mileage as a chaser and is a noteworthy danger to the selection on his first start after wind surgery. Forged Well also boasts a course win (over hurdles) to his name and he could be a better alternative than Busty Boy, whose sole win over regulation fences came over further.

The 5yo ALSHADHIAN (nap) has made a promising start to his chasing career this season and gets the nod ahead of Realisation.

FRANKIES FORTUNE won an Irish point-to-point in a ready manner before joining Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore. The daughter of Soldier Of Fortune is an exciting prospect and this could be a good starting point for her career under Rules. Red Dart's two starts between the flags also read well and he merits a close inspection in the betting market. Nobotheratall and Knockeranna Rose are the pick of those with previous bumper experience.

Nobotheratall sets the standard but possible improver WESTERN GEORGE is the selection for the O'Neill yard.

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.
