1	7 1st (7) (9/4 +25%) Ferrybank		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(7) Ferrybank 9/4, Course winner. Latest win here in January. 3/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago, challenging 1f out and no extra late on. Not taken lightly returned to 7f. Didn't get home over C&D two weeks ago and dropping back to 7f could be a good move.
2	6 2nd (6) (14/1 +30%) Bungle Inthedesert		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) Bungle Inthedesert 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 35 days ago, keeping on having not been ideally placed. Remains less exposed than most and he could yet have more to offer eased 2 lb. Did not do at all badly on his handicap debut here last month; can progress further.
3	9 3rd (9) (20/1 -122%) Tynamite		20 20/1(-122%)																															(9) Tynamite 20/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Respectable 3¾ lengths eighth of 14 to River Derwent in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 51 days ago, not seen to best effect having been short of room final 1f. Not out of things. Most recent of his six wins here came over C&D in December; below form twice since.
4	1 4th (1) (10/3 +33%) River Derwent		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(1) River Derwent 10/3, Back-to-back winner over C&D earlier this year and finished a creditable third of 14 in 1m handicap here on debut for new yard 2 weeks ago. Should be in the mix again in this groove. Good third in a 1m handicap two weeks ago off this mark; back at his best trip here.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 -10%) The Cola Brasil		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(2) The Cola Brasil 11/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Good neck third of 14 to River Derwent in claimer (9/2) at this C&D 49 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and one to consider returned to handicaps with rider taking off valuable 5 lb. Closely handicapped with River Derwent and every chance of being thereabouts again.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -71%) Hero Of The Hour		12 12/1(-71%)																															(8) Hero Of The Hour 12/1, Course winner. 17/2, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago, never better than midfield. First-time visor may well have positive effect now and step back up in trip rates a plus. Interesting. Consistent this winter without winning and coming down the handicap slowly; visor tried.
7th	11 7th (11) (20/1 -100%) Sunset Nova		20 20/1(-100%)																															(11) Sunset Nova 20/1, 3-time C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, every chance 2f out and fading final 1f. Expected to give it his best shot again. Consistent lately off a higher mark and has to be respected back down to a mark of 49 here.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 -100%) Chica Power		12 12/1(-100%)																															(3) Chica Power 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. 16/1, eighth of 12 in claimer at this course (8f) 35 days ago, driven entering straight and fading. Drop back to 7f fine and booking of Colin Keane a plus so worth a second look. Has to bounce back from a poor run in a claimer last month; champion jockey booked.
9th	5 9th (5) (18/1 -50%) Allo Arry		18 18/1(-50%)																															(5) Allo Arry 18/1, Visored for 1st time, respectable third of 12 in claimer at this course (8f, 16/1) 35 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian McGuinness. Claimed out of Ado McGuinness yard here last month; interesting for in-form yard.
10th	10 10th (10) (18/1 -100%) Maestro Stick		18 18/1(-100%)																															(10) Maestro Stick 18/1, Showed benefit of recent run when ending losing run in 11-runner claimer here (6f) 3 weeks ago, leading final 100 yds and just holding on. Possibilities back in handicap company for all he wouldn't be sure to back that up. Up 20lb for his claimer win and that is probably too much to overcome here.
11th	14 11th (14) (66/1 -100%) Thirtysecondstreet		66 66/1(-100%)																															(14) Thirtysecondstreet 66/1, 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 42 days ago, beaten early in the straight. Lines up here with a bit to prove now headgear is quickly discarded. Good third in a C&D handicap in December but well beaten since; others preferred.
12th	4 12th (4) (25/1 -25%) The Bog Bank		25 25/1(-25%)																															(4) The Bog Bank 25/1, Course winner who largely held her form well following success over 1m here last summer. Rare below-par display over C&D in December but better showing not ruled out having fallen 1 lb below last winning mark. Off since December and might well have appreciated the break; could go well.
13th	15 13th (15) (40/1 -150%) Princess Rajj		40 40/1(-150%)																															(15) Princess Rajj 40/1, Creditable 2½ lengths fifth of 11 to Maestro Stick in claimer (20/1) at this course (6f) 21 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Mrs J. Harrington. Tongue strap back on. Reserve 1. First reserve; on a long losing streak but ran okay in a 6f claimer last time.
14th	13 14th (13) (40/1 -21%) Saoirses Lulaby		40 40/1(-21%)																															(13) Saoirses Lulaby 40/1, Maiden who returned to form when third in a C&D handicap on final outing last year and shaped as if amiss back from 11 weeks off when last of 14 in 1m handicap back here 2 weeks ago. This should reveal more. Close third to Tynamite here in December sandwiched between two very poor efforts.

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

HERO OF THE HOUR won three times over six furlongs here early last year but may now be better served by this trip. The selection didn't enjoy a clear run on his latest try over seven when keeping on behind Prince Of Abington in January and certainly found five furlongs too sharp last time. The Cola Brasil was only headed close home in that race won by Prince Of Abington and is closely matched with River Derwent having finished a close third to that rival in a claimer last month. The booking of James Ryan catches the eye. Maestro Stick showed much improved form when causing a 66/1 shock in a claimer over six earlier this month.

This looks ultra-competitive and it may pay to take a chance on HERO OF THE HOUR. He needs to shrug off a lesser effort over the minimum trip latest but there have been definite signs his turn isn't far away previously this winter and the fitting of a first-time visor could well put an extra edge on him. The Cola Brasil and Ferrybank are others to consider, with Maestro Stick, a winner in claiming company over 6f here 3 weeks ago another in the mix with a repeat.

The one to beat could well be FERRYBANK who won for this rider here in January and could well appreciate dropping back to this trip

1	11 1st (11) (1/4 +31%) Sakti		0.25 1/4(+31%)																															(11) Sakti 1/4, Showed useful form when runner-up all 3 starts last season, including in Group 2 and 3 company. Chance is there for all to see back in a maiden. Very high-class maiden last year and very hard to oppose here if she has trained on.
2	2 2nd (2) (100/1 +0%) Arnaman		100 100/1(+0%)																															(2) Arnaman 100/1, Dandy Man colt. Brother to useful 6f winner Arnhem and half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1¼m Andok and 2-y-o 7f winner Lady Mandeville. Dam maiden. Mixture of speed and stamina in his pedigree but best watched on debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +25%) Cill Mocheallog		2.5 5/2(+25%)																															(4) Cill Mocheallog 5/2, Phoenix of Spain gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Kodiac Express. Dam, 2-y-o 5f/6f winner, sister to smart winner up to 6f Taajub. Worth a market check. Stable got off to a flyer with a winning newcomer at the Curragh on Monday; respected.
4	10 4th (10) (20/1 +20%) Presence		20 20/1(+20%)																															(10) Presence 20/1, 33/1, showed a bit when seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) on debut. Off 147 days. Did well after shipping an early bump in a 1m maiden here in October; capable of better.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 +0%) Ateenosix		33 33/1(+0%)																															(3) Ateenosix 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. 4/1, eleventh of 13 in maiden at this C&D. Off 128 days. Has been gelded. Failed to step up on his debut effort last time and gelded since; each-way claims.
6th	14 6th (14) (40/1 +20%) Spunog		40 40/1(+20%)																															(14) Spunog 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 50/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Creditable efforts in two 1m maidens this year; drop in trip may well suit.
7th	5 7th (5) (66/1 +0%) Finito Bonito		66 66/1(+0%)																															(5) Finito Bonito 66/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eighth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 150/1) 4 days ago. One for low-grade handicaps later on. Value for finishing a little closer in a Curragh maiden on Monday; needs this for a mark.
8th	12 8th (12) (66/1 -100%) Sheen Falls Time		66 66/1(-100%)																															(12) Sheen Falls Time 66/1, 33/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) on debut. Off 153 days. Should do better in time. Showed a little promise in a heavy ground maiden at Leopardstown in October; interesting.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -50%) Enola Nation		150 150/1(-50%)																															(9) Enola Nation 150/1, Well held in 2 maidens. Has beaten one rival in two starts and looks a forlorn hope here.
10th	6 10th (6) (150/1 +0%) Solar Drive		150 150/1(+0%)																															(6) Solar Drive 150/1, Well held in 2 course maidens. Shown little at big prices in two runs so far; makes no appeal.
11th	8 11th (8) (40/1 +60%) Adaaylikethis		40 40/1(+60%)																															(8) Adaaylikethis 40/1, 22,000 gns yearling, 40,000 gns 2-y-o, Adaay filly. Half-sister to useful 5f/6f winner Rathbone. Nicely bred newcomer with plenty of speed in her pedigree; worth a market check.
12th	13 12th (13) (80/1 -60%) Sliogan		80 80/1(-60%)																															(13) Sliogan 80/1, €15,000 foal, €25,000 yearling, €17,000 2-y-o, Zelzal filly. Sister to 7.5f/1m winner Full Gain and half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Magari. Dam French 1¼m winner. Probably stable second string and best watched on debut.
13th	16 13th (16) (66/1 -65%) Varly		66 66/1(-65%)																															(16) Varly 66/1, 22/1 and hooded, sixth of 8 in maiden at this C&D on debut 37 days ago, slowly away. RESERVE. Second reserve; caught they eye after a slow start here on debut; much more needed though.

SAKTI showed smart form when filling the runner-up spot on all three starts as a juvenile and should prove difficult to beat. The daughter of Caravaggio was narrowly denied by Brilliant on debut at Leopardstown and was highly tried on both subsequent outings including behind Vespertilio in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes at the Curragh. Paddy Twomey wasted no time getting off the mark for the new turf season at the Curragh on Monday and he introduces Cill Mocheallog, a son of Phoenix Of Spain from a speedy family. Aratayvo is another to consider as he was only beaten a length by hot-pot Bright Stripes over this trip at Naas last autumn.

SAKTI sets a very high standard back in maiden company and ought to prove hard to beat. Aratayvo and newcomer Cill Mocheallog can battle it out for minor honours.

The overall strength of her form from last year makes SAKTI very hard to oppose here on the way to possibly much better things

1	8 1st (8) (7/1 +13%) Galician Girl		7 7/1(+13%)																															(8) Galician Girl 7/1, Promising sort. 12/1, good 2¾ lengths third of 14 to Mary Bagot in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Open to progress. Comeback C&D third to Mary Bagot, could get a lot closer this time.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -50%) Blue Soul		12 12/1(-50%)																															(2) Blue Soul 12/1, Creditable 3½ lengths fifth of 14 to Mary Bagot in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Not dismissed. Didn't appear to get home over 1m three weeks ago so stamina questions again here.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 -50%) Fivecromwellplace		9 9/1(-50%)																															(5) Fivecromwellplace 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. 40/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago, readily. Likely to be on the premises again. Shock winner here a week ago; up 9lb but should stay and respected.
4	7 4th (7) (25/1 -108%) Special Angel		25 25/1(-108%)																															(7) Special Angel 25/1, Respectable 5 lengths sixth of 14 to Mary Bagot in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 21 days ago. Booking of Hassett a plus. Blinkers on 1st time. Merits consideration. C&D second but recent form leaves her with a bit to find and blinkers now reached for.
5th	11 5th (11) (50/1 -52%) Hanoi		50 50/1(-52%)																															(11) Hanoi 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9¼ lengths ninth of 14 to Mary Bagot in handicap (33/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Plenty to find with several of these on handicap debut run here three weeks ago; 4lb wrong.
6th	4 6th (4) (4/5 +64%) Natural Ruler		0.8 4/5(+64%)																															(4) Natural Ruler 4/5, Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, second of 13 in maiden at this C&D 14 days ago, clear of rest. Makes handicap debut. Looks to have been let in lightly and boasts leading claims. C&D comeback run a fortnight ago filled with promise; likely big player on handicap debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 -100%) Mary Bagot		9 9/1(-100%)																															(6) Mary Bagot 9/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (6/1) 21 days ago, driven out. One to consider. C&D winner 3 weeks ago; 7lb rise makes this tougher but good draw and should run her race.
8th	1 8th (1) (28/1 -180%) Zenato		28 28/1(-180%)																															(1) Zenato 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at this course (7f). Off 100 days. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Potential for improvement on handicap debut with encouraging jockey booking.
9th	9 9th (9) (8/1 -78%) Aisling Oscar		8 8/1(-78%)																															(9) Aisling Oscar 8/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (7f, 11/8) 49 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Mary Bagot, readily. Firmly on the upn and deserves plenty of respect in the hat-trick bid. Hat-trick seeker now 12lb higher but has the scope to improve again.
10th	3 10th (3) (18/1 -80%) Hoover Dam		18 18/1(-80%)																															(3) Hoover Dam 18/1, Creditable third of 13 in maiden at this C&D (9/1) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Enters calculations. Quite well handicapped on his best maiden form so likely each-way value.
11th	10 11th (10) (150/1 -355%) The Man Above		150 150/1(-355%)																															(10) The Man Above 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at this course (10.7f, 200/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Mild improvement latest but doesn't appeal as one to make immediate impact in handicaps.

NATURAL RULER had Hoover Dam three lengths back in third when beating all bar the long odds-on Al Mudhaffar in a maiden over C&D a fortnight ago. The Johnny Murtagh-trained colt showed nice progress compared with his two outings at the Curragh last year and appears reasonably treated on handicap debut. Aisling Oscar twice beat Mary Bagot here earlier this year and the latter franked the form by going one better over a mile earlier this month with Galician Girl about three lengths behind in third, and Blue Soul and Special Angel in fifth and sixth respectively. Fivecromwellplace belied odds of 40/1 when prominent throughout to score on his handicap debut last Friday.

NATURAL RULER came clear with a promising sort when second in a C&D maiden last time, so a mark of 69 is likely to underestimate him. As such, he takes marginal preference over last-time-out winners Aisling Oscar and Mary Bagot in what looks a competitive contest for the grade.

NATURAL RULER (nap), who stayed on well into a clear second over C&D a fortnight ago on handicap debut and has likely more to offer

1	1 1st (1) (11/4 +8%) Exquisite Acclaim		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(1) Exquisite Acclaim 11/4, C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 11/2, very good second of 12 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Comes here in fine form but mark now 8lb higher so more needed.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 +8%) Rockbury Lad		11 11/1(+8%)																															(10) Rockbury Lad 11/1, C&D winner. Hooded for 1st time, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, slowly away. Eyeshields on 1st time , blinkers back on. Merits consideration. Not much went right on return from a break a fortnight ago; new headgear combination.
3	2 3rd (2) (15/2 +17%) Chavajod		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(2) Chavajod 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (16/5) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Dual C&D winner this winter but handicapper looks to have his measure now.
4	11 4th (11) (16/1 +20%) Rio Largo		16 16/1(+20%)																															(11) Rio Largo 16/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 66 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Two wins on turf over 7f but is now 0-10 on AW and remains opposable.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 +8%) Shoot To Kill		6 6/1(+8%)																															(4) Shoot To Kill 6/1, Latest win at Lingfield in September. First run since leaving Robyn Brisland when creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D 14 days ago. Not discounted. Encouraging enough C&D yard debut a fortnight ago; entitled to improve for it too.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 +0%) Not Forgotten		6 6/1(+0%)																															(3) Not Forgotten 6/1, C&D winner. Winner here in November. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Each-way shout. C&D third a fortnight ago a career-best; not the strongest of finishers though.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 -60%) Garrick Painter		16 16/1(-60%)																															(6) Garrick Painter 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (12f, 5/1) 28 days ago, hampered. Significantly back down in trip. Best form at 1m2f, back in trip here with cheekpieces retained.
8th	9 8th (9) (11/2 +27%) Rampage		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(9) Rampage 11/2, Latest win at Galway in September. Respectable seventh of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 15/2) 4 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor back on. Fair Curragh run on Monday; previous close fourth over C&D puts him in the mix.
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 +20%) Alexander John		16 16/1(+20%)																															(5) Alexander John 16/1, Course winner in February. 11/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Something to find on form. Yet to prove himself over this far and needs to settle better.
10th	8 10th (8) (8/1 -14%) Skontonovski		8 8/1(-14%)																															(8) Skontonovski 8/1, Four-time C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 14/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 35 days ago, running on. Place possibilities. Good run over 7f latest; four-time C&D winner now has Keane aboard and definite claims.

Ado McGuinness holds a strong hand here and EXQUISITE ACCLAIM may prove the pick of his trio. The top-weight appears equally effective over seven or a mile and recorded a second win here this winter when beating stablemate Hightimeyouwon last month, with Chavajod and Not Forgotten back in fourth and fifth respectively. The selection has continually progressed over the past six months and there may still be some juice in his current rating. Not Forgotten, Rampage, Shoot To Kill and Rockbury Lad were all only separated by about a length when running behind Super Over over C&D a fortnight ago, while Skontonovski recorded a seventh career win here last November and Colin Keane is an interesting booking.

The vote goes to RAMPAGE, who caught the eye when fourth on his reappearance over this C&D and he wasn't beaten far in a big-field handicap at the Curragh next time. He remains unexposed on the all-weather and is up to winning a race off this sort of mark. It's hard to knock Exquisite Acclaim and he is likely to make another bold bid from the front, with Not Forgotten and Shoot To Kill others to consider in an open-looking contest.

Value could be had in RAMPAGE, unlucky in running when a close fourth over C&D prior to a fair run at the Curragh on Monday

1	5 1st (5) (11/1 -69%) Darkened		11 11/1(-69%)																															(5) Darkened 11/1, Two wins from 52 Flat runs. 7/1, creditable 3¾ lengths third of 14 to Dark Street in handicap at this course (12f) 21 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Two decent efforts over 1m4f for his new stable; each-way claims again back in trip.
2	14 2nd (14) (10/1 +17%) Anjah		10 10/1(+17%)																															(14) Anjah 10/1, Remains a maiden after 30 Flat runs. 14/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, nearest finish. Each-way claims with Shane Foley back onboard. Went close in a couple of handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f here; not so effective last time.
3	3 3rd (3) (28/1 +0%) Comfort Line		28 28/1(+0%)																															(3) Comfort Line 28/1, Back-to-back winner over 1m here in December.

Well beaten last thrice and goes back up in trip here; others more convincing at present.
4	1 4th (1) (17/2 -155%) Dark Street		8.5 17/2(-155%)																															(1) Dark Street 17/2, 3-time C&D winner. 4/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (12f) 21 days ago by neck from Picpoul, edging ahead final strides. Should be in the thick of things again in present groove. Won over 1m4f here three weeks ago under this rider; as effective over this trip.
5th	11 5th (11) (40/1 -21%) Miss Heartbreak		40 40/1(-21%)																															(11) Miss Heartbreak 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden who displayed more positive signs when making the frame in pair of C&D handicaps during second half of last year. Possible the run was needed back from 3 months off when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago and she's less exposed than most. Well beaten over C&D last time, but ran with credit in a pair of handicaps late last year.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -12%) Shining Aitch		28 28/1(-12%)																															(8) Shining Aitch 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 14/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (12f). Off 91 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. Beat Comfort Line in a C&D handicap in November but soundly beaten twice since.
7th	10 7th (10) (17/2 +15%) Power Drive		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(10) Power Drive 17/2, 5-time course winner. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 14 days ago, running on without threatening. Losing run is mounting up but this mark certainly not beyond him. Coming down the handicap and a few respectable runs of late, but a little more needed here.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/2 -10%) Picpoul		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(2) Picpoul 11/2, C&D winner. Respectable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 14 days ago, keeping on having raced off the pace. One to bear in mind. Never really to get competitive back to this trip last time; has to be considered.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 +0%) Hi Sur Multi		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Hi Sur Multi 16/1, Maiden who justified support but failed to land a meaningful blow when eighth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago, no extra final 1f. Not one to give up on just yet. Disappointing last twice but the champion jockey is booked and better may well be expected.
10th	6 10th (6) (15/2 +38%) Snag It		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(6) Snag It 15/2, C&D winner. 8/1, fourth of 14 in claimer at this C&D 7 days ago, better placed than most. Others more persuasive returned to handicap company. Up 6lb for a C&D success in November and consistent since from 1m to 1m2f; each-way chance.
11th	7 11th (7) (7/2 +22%) Trishuli River		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(7) Trishuli River 7/2, Opened account over 1m here in November and creditable efforts both starts since, fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 9/2) 42 days ago, not ideally placed. Unexposed granted this sort of test and she's worth a second look. Steps up to this trip for the first time and comes into the reckoning if she stays.
12th	12 12th (12) (16/1 +0%) Nawraq		16 16/1(+0%)																															(12) Nawraq 16/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 49 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but others make greater appeal. 18-race maiden went close in a C&D handicap in November; soundly beaten here last time.
13th	13 13th (13) (8/1 -33%) Together Aclaim		8 8/1(-33%)																															(13) Together Aclaim 8/1, One win from 30 Flat runs. Didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap (11/1) at this C&D 49 days ago by ½ length from Snag It, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Possibilities again now he's off the mark. Progressing and gets on well with this rider; no surprise if he went close.
14th	4 14th (4) (16/1 -78%) Doctor Grace		16 16/1(-78%)																															(4) Doctor Grace 16/1, Latest win over C&D in November. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this course (8f) 66 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. C&D winner has been below that level twice since and has to bounce back.

TRISHULI RIVER appreciated the step up to a mile when successful here last November and the evidence of her two subsequent starts suggest she could be suited by this longer distance. The Shane Crawley-trained filly was denied a clear run early in the straight before staying on into fourth last time and her pedigree also gives cause for optimism at the trip. Dark Street beat Together Aclaim (won since) over C&D in January and recorded a further course win over 1m4f earlier this month when pegging back Picpoul close home, with Darkened over three lengths back in third. Dylan Browne McMonagle is an eye-catching booking on five-time course winner Power Drive.

Having made the breakthrough over 1m here in December, TRISHULI RIVER has run with credit both starts since and, with this step up in trip worth exploring, she could well be worth siding with to come out on top. Picpoul and Dark Street are another in-form pair fancied to feature, with Darkened another holding each-way claims.

A chance is taken here on TOGETHER ACLAIM, showing progressive form of late and who gets on well with this rider

1	6 1st (6) (3/1 +40%) Squire Danagher		3 3/1(+40%)																															(6) Squire Danagher 3/1, 2/1 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner maiden at this course (10.7f) 51 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap debut. Shortlisted. Off the mark in 1m2f maiden in January in blinkers (gelded since); opening mark workable.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -118%) Celtic Revival		12 12/1(-118%)																															(5) Celtic Revival 12/1, 5-time C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 8/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Can go well again. Last year's winner with solid recent form so has to be on the shortlist again.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 -27%) Banana Three		14 14/1(-27%)																															(4) Banana Three 14/1, C&D winner. Winner here in December. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 28 days ago, not clear run. Blinkers back on and very much one to consider. Claiming winner held on recent handicap form off today's mark.
4	7 4th (7) (28/1 -75%) Eskimo Komet		28 28/1(-75%)																															(7) Eskimo Komet 28/1, Course winner. Below form third of 14 in handicap (14/1) at this course (16f) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Mixed form in handicaps, possibly not getting 2m latest; others preferred.
5th	10 5th (10) (16/1 +20%) Fascinating Shadow		16 16/1(+20%)																															(10) Fascinating Shadow 16/1, C&D winner. 22/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, good fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Can give another good account. Best run for some time when C&D fourth last month; 2lb lower here and not one to rule out.
6th	2 6th (2) (2/1 +27%) How About No		2 2/1(+27%)																															(2) How About No 2/1, Built on debut promise when landing the odds in 13-runner maiden at this C&D 35 days ago. More to offer on his handicap debut so he's a player. Recent C&D maiden winner unexposed entering handicap company; potentially big player.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -32%) Bold Approach		33 33/1(-32%)																															(8) Bold Approach 33/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (16f, 14/1). Off 112 days. Back down in trip. Twenty two runs since last win in 2019. C&D winner; form here last autumn was well below best and others preferred now on return.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -100%) Dreal Deal		50 50/1(-100%)																															(1) Dreal Deal 50/1, Course winner. Sixth of 8 in novice chase at Leopardstown (17f, heavy, 50/1) 86 days ago. Back down in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat, so not ruled out. 2m winner here; yet to hit form for current yard but handicapper giving him a chance.
9th	11 9th (11) (66/1 -267%) Wajaaha		66 66/1(-267%)																															(11) Wajaaha 66/1, C&D winner. 17/2, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f). Off 100 days but weighted to go well if back on his A-game. Claims on best of his form last autumn and rider's 10lb claim a positive.
10th	9 10th (9) (8/1 -60%) Unterberg		8 8/1(-60%)																															(9) Unterberg 8/1, 5/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (10.7f) 51 days ago, keeping on well. Ought to be in the shake-up. Up 9lb for pair of wins over the winter but should remain competitive.
11th	3 11th (3) (10/3 -11%) Palace Rock		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(3) Palace Rock 10/3, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, good third of 9 in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 14 days ago. In the mix once more. Recent C&D third should be thereabouts but possible stronger finishers here.

PALACE ROCK can gain a deserved win after a series of solid efforts here this year. The dual-purpose gelding, who won a maiden over C&D back in 2021, had Celtic Revival, Fascinating Shadow and Banana Three all behind in third, fourth and fifth respectively when headed on the line by Nibiru and again shaped well last time in a higher-class handicap when third to Satono Chevalier. How About No justified strong support when landing a maiden over C&D last month and is not an easy one for the handicapper to assess. Squire Danagher and Unterberg both step up in trip after winning over an extended 1m2f last time.

Joseph O'Brien's unexposed C&D winner HOW ABOUT NO has more to come now he steps into handicap company so edges the vote in this competitive handicap. Celtic Renvival is feared most given his superb record round here, although a good case can also be made for Unterberg, Squire Danagher and Banana Three.

How About Now is the dark horse and likely market leader but preference is for another handicap debutant SQUIRE DANAGHER

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.
