Cuban Grey doesn't have the most appealing of strike-rates but she had been running well before switching stables recently and must be respected, although SAMROGUE, a winner on two of her last three starts, is still fancied to continue her successful partnership with the excellent Oisin McSweeney. Billboa was on target in a maiden over 6f here and is interesting returned to handicaps, while Army Of India is also noted.

SAMROGUE arrives at the top of her game so is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise in the weights and bag a fifth C&D victory having shown a tidy turn of foot to score here last time. Billboa is feared most on the back of his own course success, with Livingston Range and Sam's Xpress also firmly in the picture in an open handicap.

Preference is for handicap debutant BILLBOA who beat a subsequent winner over 6f in a maiden but should have the speed for this trip.

The booking of champion jockey Colin Keane aboard TAI SING YEH would appear to signal a statement of intent. The admirable 10-year-old has stamina to prove at this trip, but recent performances would suggest a return to the mile might hold the key to James McAuley's veteran. Notforalongtime has been running well in similar events of late and appeals as a likely candidate. Pierre Lapin isn't the force of old, but he ought to be more than capable at this level.

TAI SING YEH had gone off the boil when last seen in November but is a classy sort for claiming level if a 3-month break has had a reviving effect. Ransom has been placed twice in handicaps here in recent weeks and is second choice ahead of Laura Hourigan's Notforalongtime.

A good standard here is set by RANSOM, who has been running very consistently and has race conditions in his favour

Having been narrowly denied over track and trip last month, Hoover Dam merits the utmost respect, but a chance can be taken on newcomer AL MUDHAFFAR. A son of Wootton Bassett and a relative of two above-average types, the 145,000gns purchase might not need to be anything out of the ordinary to strike first time, for all that a wide draw is far from ideal. Enniscoffee displayed signs of ability on her racecourse bow and could be thereabouts given natural improvement.

If HOOVER DAM can continue his trend for race-on-race progression he might be able to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Joseph O'Brien newcomer Al Mudhaffar would rate a big danger if the betting suggests he's fancied. Badda Bing is another debutant who makes some paper appeal.

The choice is Carriganog newcomer AL MUDHAFFAR, a 145,000Gns yearling who won't have to be a superstar to land this on debut

The key to this race might be last month's clash over C&D between Macadam's Rock (first) and MULLACASH BUZZ (second), and it is the latter who is favoured on this occasion due to a kinder draw in stall four. The six-year-old has run off higher in the past and clearly gets on well with Jack Cleary. Macadam's Rock is an obvious danger, while Oriental Dancer and the hat-trick-seeking James Henry are just a couple more who have to enter the equation.

JAMES HENRY arrives in the form of his life and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Macadam's Rock and Mullacash Buzz head the list of dangers.

Preference is for MULLACASH BUZZ, who hardly runs a bad race here and can turn tables on Macadam's Rock from their clash last month
Class & Speed Card

MISS BLACK JACK seems to have improved with every start and her most recent effort last September across the water at Newcastle marked a career best. The daughter of Soldier's Call must hold every chance if building upon that effort, with the relatively consistent Staysound Susie looking best placed to chase her home. Not beaten far on each of his two career outings here, Ohailbhic is a key player as well.

STAYSOUND SUSIE finished with running left when a good third at Naas in October and is taken to open her account here. Ohailbhic and Late Night Talking rate the principal dangers.

The one to beat may be STAYSOUND SUSIE, who acted on any ground last season and ended with a fine third in the Birdcatcher Nursery

This can go the way of THE POACHER DALY, who showed marked improvement on his handicap debut over C&D last month when beaten less than a length into second. Behind him on that occasion was Mary Shoelaces (third), who has over a length to find with Joseph O'Brien's colt but is 3lb better off, while Bruce Lightning was hot on their heels in fourth and should be in the mix as well.

THE POACHER DALY took his form up a level on his handicap bow when runner-up over C&D and looks weighted to go one better despite taking a 3 lb rise for that fine effort. Bruce Lightning came home a couple of places behind Joseph O'Brien's colt that day and rates the main danger ahead of in-form pair Mary Shoelaces and Coulstar.

SMART IMPRESSION might be able to improve enough from her stable debut after a break which came over 5f last time.
Class & Speed Card

SEA WAVE arguably brings the best form to the table in this contest after progressing from her debut effort to finish fourth over an extended 1m2f here last month. The daughter of Sea The Stars shaped as if this step up in distance would suit her and she looks the way to go. Plenty was expected from How About No on his first outing at Navan and he could only manage sixth, although he could easily take a big leap forward to get closer. Kiss My Lucky Egg completes the shortlist.

HOW ABOUT NO shaped with plenty of encouragement first time out and should improve enough to land this. Scatchwah and Sea Wave are closely matched with the selection on form but don't have as much potential.

Having been unlucky not to finish closer on debut in a Navan maiden in October, HOW ABOUT NO(nap) should be able to make up for that.

Dark Street (second) had Barretstown (third) behind by a neck over C&D earlier in the month and they compete on the same terms. Both have leading claims but the vote goes to VICTORY STAR, who made a promising first start for the Kevin Coleman stable when hitting the frame in a claimer over track and trip and he now steps back into handicap company. If the seven-year-old can back that performance up, he ought to go very close.

Having scored here in January, DARK STREET shaped as if still in top form when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago, so he's worth siding with in the hope that the pace is sound. Barretstown and Doctor Grace are the chief dangers.

If VICTORY STAR can improve from his recent third in a claimer then he could get the job done.

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.
