Veteran HARRY'S BAR had previously been too valuable for claimers but the 10-year-old can now register a 16th success. Rated 114 at his peak but winless since October 2023, he has been holding his form remarkably well, is suited by this distance and faces a simpler task than on his most recent over course-and-distance race. Dontspoilasale is half the selection's age and while rated 13lb less, managed a course-and-distance win last November. Fly To Glory has won twice this winter and while he receives a few pounds from his principal rivals, was beaten in a recent claimer when reported to have a small amount of blood at his left nostril.

HARRY'S BAR isn't the force of old as a 10-y-o but he remains capable of useful form and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to resume winning ways on these very favourable terms. Dontspoilasale rates the chief threat, ahead of Fly To Glory and Alhather.

Twice second from four starts at the venue since joining Stephen Thorne, HARRY'S BAR has race conditions strongly in his favour

GRAN HABANO has shown form this winter and drops in grade. Tried in Listed company on debut, he subsequently disappointed in two turf maidens but performed with plenty credit in winners' races in November and earlier this month. He seems well suited by this distance. Temperance is closely matched with No Return on their two previous meetings and appears more reliable of that pair - who finished sixth and seventh in October's Birdcatcher. Temperance met minor traffic then and should be suited by today's surface (having fast-ground turf form), while No Return debuts for new connections having disappointed over longer distances on recent runs.

TEMPERANCE has some solid 2-y-o form and could be the way to go on her return. Gran Habano and Storm Averted are other big players, while Songhai is an interesting newcomer.

Judged on a second placing at Cork and a respectable sixth in the Birdcatcher Nursery, TEMPERANCE can win a maiden of this standard

LYLE THE CROCODILE has been running consistently well here all winter and returns to the same distance over which he won over in January. The selection was handicapped on three turf runs last year and having shown a real liking for this surface, has progressed well and is reliable. He is 10lb higher than when scoring here last month but today's different rider now claims 7lb. Tam Lin defeated Endless Dawn to win recently, with little likely to separate the pair again.

Things didn't go BRIGID'S CLOAK's way when fourth in the C&D handicap won by Lyle The Crocodile and, with that run under her belt and now 10 lb better off with the winner, the Havana Grey filly is taken to emerge on top this time. Lyle The Crocodile was narrowly outpointed in his follow-up bid in a minor event here recently but he looks vulnerable back in a handicap and bigger threats may be posed by recent C&D 1-2 Tam Lin and Endless Dawn.

Sam Coen's 7lb claim may swing this in the direction of LYLE THE CROCODILE, a C&D handicap winner before going close over 6f on latest

VOLATILE ANALYST has been running consistently well in course-and-distance handicaps recently and, for an eight-year-old, is holding his form well. Just two of the selection's seven wins have come on the all-weather, but he has shown a real liking for this surface in recent months and holds Clonmacash on January form. Clonmacash admittedly stayed on well from off the pace then, although has been raised 10lb following last week's comfortable success. Elegant Madame's only success was gained at this distance as a two-year-old but might ideally prefer a mile. Solomon Coop steps up from a recent maiden win.

Following near-misses over 1m here on her last two starts, ELEGANT MADAME is appealing back at 7f. Solomon Coop made a winning start for this yard in a maiden here recently and he is second choice ahead of Anvika, Clonmacash and Volatile Analyst.

Very competitive but this could be the turn of ELEGANT MADAME after several near misses of late

ZE DO ASFALTO has shown consistent form in three winter course-and-distance runs. It is concerning that he went unsold for just 4,200gns last October and then contested a November claimer but a reproduction of his recent front-running effort in a decent race might see him difficult to peg back. Athlumney Warrior is out of a winning half-sister to Ascot Gold Cup winner Big Orange and showed nice ability on debut. The first four finishers in that January maiden were unraced (Lady Lilac finished fourth) and while well held by the winner, his rider subsequently reported that his mount was struck into from behind. J M's Joy has useful form and debuts for a new trainer.

The vote goes to ATHLUMNEY WARRIOR, who made an encouraging start to his career when runner-up on debut over this C&D and he is entitled to improve with that experience under his belt. Ze Do Asfalto looks sure to pick up a race sooner rather than later and he is clear second choice. Lady Lilac wasn't far behind the selection in the C&D maiden won by Snapaurum and she is open to improvement, a remark which also applies to Magnolia Drive.

After three second placings over 7f this looks a good opportunity for ZE DO ASFALTO (nap) to step up a place for his in-form stable

BARNSO has 4lb to find with Dallas Star on adjusted ratings and would prefer a longer distance, but is suited by this surface and is capable. Winner of a lesser handicap over this distance last May, he subsequently finishing third at Listed level last August and defeated plenty rivals when finishing fifth in a valuable handicap on Champions Weekend in September. Ballysax Stakes winner Dallas Star disappointed when last seen in the Derby and while a much better horse than the selection, looks a soft-ground type and will have bigger spring targets. In-form stablemate Persian Bliss would prefer a longer distance, while the reliable San Andreas should get involved.

SAN ANDREAS is at the veteran stage now but is still very capable, particularly here, and can make the most of the weight he receives from returning Ballysax winner Dallas Star, who hasn't been seen finishing down the field in the Epsom Derby.

Long absent DALLAS STAR drops back in trip for his seasonal debut and if handling the surface could prove hard to beat

QUICKSHOT has a fine pedigree and represents a yard which is doing very well at this course in recent weeks. By a leading sire, a half-sister won an American Grade 1 as a juvenile and while Amo Racing's jockey bookings muddy the waters somewhat, the selection is owned in partnership and, in any case, it would be disappointing if he wasn't better than 70-rated What's Your Game. Blue-blooded Heather is a half-sister to Irish Derby winner Latrobe and two other black-type performers. She showed nice ability on debut. Angelo Pio and Dreamed To Dream are noted too.

This looks a good chance for HEATHER to go one better than on debut. Her stablemate Study The Lady and Joseph O'Brien pair Palavar and Angelo Pio may provide the main opposition unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of one of the newcomers.

A fairly decent maiden in which HEATHER could take a fair bit of beating now upped in trip

OMAKASE benefitted from both a drop in the ratings and stepping up to this distance when scoring here earlier this month, and might follow up. Following a busy juvenile campaign, the selection went awol for 1,391 days but returned to action last October when showing consistent form over short distances. She beat today's rival Nusra into third when upped in trip here recently and while 4lb higher today, she remains a fraction unexposed despite being a seven-year-old. Nusra should again run her usual honest race, while Doctor Grace is also noteworthy.

OMAKASE should have more to offer at this trip so a 4 lb rise for her C&D win earlier in the month may not prevent her following up. Nusra ran well for third behind the selection last time and is second choice ahead of Doctor Grace and Tara Power.

Having scored on her first attempt at this trip here 3 weeks ago OMAKASE can confirm that form with third-placed Nusra

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.
