LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

CAPTAIN CIANO and Shamanka were only separated by a nose in a mile maiden earlier this year and the Jack Davison-trained gelding now reopposes on significantly better terms. The selection probably ran to a similar level last Friday, while Shamanka and Timandi are very closely matched on their run over C&D in December. Elegante Lady is on an attractive weight judged on the pick of her form and it's probably best to put a line through her latest effort after clipping heels early on.

CAPTAIN CIANO possesses the best form on show so is taken to open his account at the chief expense of Merchants Arch who didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when a good C&D sixth last time out. Shamanka can also have a say reverted to her optimum distance.

Merchants Arch brings a solid level of dependable handicap form but may nopt be able to concede weight to Captain Ciano

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

AMEMRI has gained all bar one of her six career wins over this trip and is taken to complete a C&D hat-trick following wins in December and January. She will need a career best to score here but the form of her latest win has been well advertised since. Notforalongtime was behind the selection last time and he had Pink Oxalis just over a length away in third when successful here last month. Still She Blooms and Knockmore Prince are others to consider.

PINK OXALIS has knocked on the door here this winter and is taken to get off the mark. Colin Keane takes over the reins on Still She Blooms who can turn around recent C&D placings with the hat-trick seeking Amemri and provide the main threat. Last month's C&D scorer Notforalongtime completes the shortlist.

Colin Keane may be able to guide STILL SHE BLOOMS to success on her first start for Chris Timmins who fits her with a hood

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

HAPPY FOR EVVA has been placed twice in four maiden starts, both over this C&D, and may have more scope for improvement than her rivals as she steps into handicap company for the first time. She showed plenty of pace when second last time and gets the vote over I'm Spartacus, who had Rattletheonionbag and Hasiyna behind when recording a fourth career win over this trip last month. Velvet Skies merits respect, while Devil's Angel is another to note with Colin Keane taking the ride.

VELVET SKIES had an excuse last time and is given another chance to confirm the promise of her penultimate C&D second with Billy Lee taking the ride this time. Dream Today is at the veteran stage but is still a potential class act at this level and is feared most ahead of last-time-out C&D scorer I'm Spartacus.

A reproduction of his good run behind the in-form Fly To Glory here in January might be enough to see VELVET SKIES home in front

AIRD proved a frustrating sort to follow before decisively opening her account over 1m4f here last month. The daughter of Teofilo finished strongly to suggest she can stay this extra half mile and remains on a reasonable mark. Pralognan has been placed twice here this winter, including when second over 1m4f, and is another that could find more progress. Scott Lang beat Inchiquin Maid by half a length over C&D last month and there shouldn't be much to choose between the pair again, while Nusra is another holding her form well at this venue.

PRALOGNAN could be the answer to this open-looking handicap with Derek O'Connor doing the steering. He failed to get competitive over hurdles at Down Royal last time but made the frame in 3 runs on the bounce here prior to that and stepping up to this trip looks a good move. Aird opened her account in a maiden here three weeks ago and is feared most ahead of Beauforts Storm and Nusra.

Rated 125 over hurdles after getting into the money in good company over hurdles, BEAUFORTS STORM gets the vote to exploit her 65 mark

DROMORE GLORY won over C&D in January and has filled the runner-up spot on both outings since. The Paul Flynn-trained gelding was just denied last time, with Slowdownbarney a length and a half back in third. The booking of talented 7lb claimer Nicola Burns could prove significant, while Gallo Dell Cielo is another with an ultra-consistent profile. He won at Gowran last autumn and following three placed efforts on the Polytrack, successfully stepped up to 1m4f just before Christmas with Slowdownbarney in third. Highland King and Noble Expression may prove best of the remainder.

A few with chances but the vote goes to C&D scorer DROMORE GLORY who arrives in top form and now has the services of talented 7 lb claimer Nicola Burns. Highland King is feared most stepping back up in trip with Slowdownbarney and Gallo Dell Cielo also in the picture.

The joint top weights can benefit from the 7lb allowance claimed with slight preference for DROMORE GLORY over Gallo Dell Cielo

Dual winner of this race but best recent form over further.

There are stamina concerns about a number of this quintet, and it may prove best to side with SAN ANDREAS. The selection has gained all bar one of his ten career wins at this venue, with three of those coming over a mile, and scored twice here over longer trips in December when ridden by Shay Wallace. Apache Outlaw steps up to a mile for the first time but is on a hat-trick following two handicaps wins, while Big Gossey has proved a tremendous servant to connections but is best suited by shorter trips. Riding arrangements suggest Valiant Force is preferred of the two Adrian Murray runners.

Having taken his course record to 2 wins from 3 starts in February, VALIANT FORCE again ran well in listed company at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago. Adrian Murray's 4-y-o arrives unexposed at this trip and could be the way to go. Likeable 8-y-o Big Gossey and Apache Outlaw head up the dangers.

An interesting renewal with question marks in trip surrounding all five runners. VALIANT FORCE may come out on top on 1m debut

MOUNT KILIMANJARO is Aidan O'Brien's first domestic runner of the year, and this looks a good opportunity to make a successful reappearance. The son of Siyouni won a valuable Longchamp event last October and later that month was second to stablemate Twain in the Group 1 Criterium International over a mile at Saint-Cloud. Powerful Lady and Spicy Margarita have both won maidens in good style here this year, while it will be interesting to see how strong the latter's stablemate Titanium Emperor is in the market. The Night Of Thunder colt is out of a Sea The Stars mare that has already produced two Group 2 winners.

MOUNT KILIMANJARO progressed with each outing as a 2-y-o, signing off with an excellent second in a French Group 1 in the autumn, and he's tough to oppose on this return to action with further progress distinctly possible. Titanium Emperor makes plenty of appeal on paper, and along with stablemate Spicy Margarita, can do battle for minor honours.

This looks a good opportunity for MOUNT KILIMANJARO on seasonal return, even though he'll probably want further in time

COMFORT LINE has gained half of his eight career wins over this C&D and is still on a competitive mark judged on his latest second. Volatile Analyst held a career-high rating of 105 and has been revitalised by Stephen Thorne to score twice this year, although those victories have resulted in a combined hike of 21lb. Little Empire won over this trip at Ayr last year and now steps back up to a mile following a number of promising efforts at this venue.

MORNING APPROACH has been in good heart during the winter and, judged on her latest fourth of 14 over C&D last time, she looks capable of winning off this mark. She may have most to fera from Comfort Line, who found just one too good here last time. Mythical Rock deserves to get his head in front and he should be on the premises once again. Little Empire also enters calculations.

By some way the most heavily-raced of the ten runners, nonetheless COMFORT LINE (nap) may be able to record a ninth career win

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
