Now that the penny has dropped for WONDERWEASLE after a taking success over C&D last month, there should be more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off a 3lb higher mark. A consistent sort up until a disappointing performance at Chepstow when upped in grade last time, Followango is capable of being in the shake-up, along with Bert Wilson, who is just 1lb above his last winning mark and fell when still in contention on his latest outing.

FOLLOWANGO looked promising before a respectable handicap debut at Chepstow last time and she looks feasibly treated based on her bumper form, so she gets the nod over last-time-out C&D winner Wonderweasle. Hermes Le Gris is a potential player if back on track.

A few with chances but GHOST HUNTER appeals as a likely improver now going into handicap company so Warren Greatrex's 5yo gets the nod

Twice a winner here over hurdles, it is difficult to oppose PILGRIMS KING, who has made a strong start to racing back over fences and did well when rallying late for second in a higher grade at Haydock last month. Peter Bowen's charge is preferred to Out Of Focus, who was an eye-catcher on his chase debut at Hereford when keeping on late for fourth over 2m. Kap Chidley hasn't shown much since finishing second at Uttoxeter last October, though dropping in trip could aid his cause.

Having shaped with encouragement on his chase debut at Hereford, OUT OF FOCUS could be the answer here with improvement likely now moving back up in trip. Pilgrims King has been in good form since the turn of the year and, with Kap Chidley needing to bounce back following a couple of below par efforts, he is second choice.

Pilgrims King is solid but bOUT OF FOCUS\p could quite easily step up on an encouraging chase debut now back at 2m3f.

WIDE TO WEST was one of only two to finish in a gruelling contest at Southwell last month and, as long as he is over those exertions, this looks like an ideal opportunity for the seven-year-old to get off the mark. Grizzly James is one to be interested in despite the recent form of his stable, while Frankie Faulkner cannot be ruled out either if bouncing back to the form that saw him finish an encouraging third at Musselburgh on his penultimate start.

A lesser effort over hurdles last time needs forgiving but FRANKIE FAULKNER has dipped to a good mark judged on the form he was showing over fences in the autumn and might prove the answer for last year's winning yard. Wide to West has been runner-up the last twice and should figure promisingly again, while Grizzly James could also have a say if bouncing back from his latest Hereford no show.

This looks a good opportunity for WIDE TO WEST (nap) to get off the mark after posting two second placings since wearing blinkers.

DENEMETHY impressed when scoring with consummate ease over 1m7f at Wincanton on his first start after wind surgery last month, and it would be no surprise if Fergal O'Brien's charge were to bring up the double. If Panjari returns to the sort of form which saw him run out a comfortable winner over 2m at Musselburgh on his penultimate start, he may emerge as the main danger, but inconsistency continues to be the main concern with him. Dartmoor Pirate completes the shortlist.

DARTMOOR PIRATE improved when fourth in a competitive handicap at Sandown last time and he's worth a chance to double his tally back in novice company/trip for all that Patriotik and Panjari are formidable dangers. Last-time-out winner Denemethy is also open to more progress.

Preference is for DARTMOOR PIRATE who reverts to novice company after a fine fourth in a big-field Sandown handicap (form franked).

MAHLAND has hit the crossbar on his last couple of starts, and he gets the vote to gain a well-deserved victory. Mel Rowley's charge found himself tapped for toe at a crucial stage before staying on into second over an extended 2m5f at Exeter last month and, nudged up 3lb back up to 3m, he edges preference. Better can be expected from Thunderclap, who finished down the field over 2m5f at Kempton in a stronger race than this most recently, while the reapplication of cheekpieces can help Longshanks.

MAHLAND has few miles on the clock and made an encouraging switch to handicapping at Exeter last month. He can get off the mark. Fevertre and Longshanks should also go well.

This is competitive and open. MAHLAND is a different proposition now than when behind Minella Blueway in a maiden.

Point-to-point winner MULINAS was sent off a warm order when finishing second on his Rules debut at Chepstow and the suspicion is Paul Nicholls' charge wasn't seen to best effect in that tactically-run affair. He gets the vote to go one place better this time around. As Legends Have It should strip fitter for his second in a Stratford bumper last month and can give the selection most to think about for the in-form Ben Pauling team. 37,000-euro purchase Johnny Boy also warrants respect.

It's likely that AS LEGENDS HAVE IT and Mulinas will come to the fore in this bumper. They both hit the crossbar on their respective Rules debuts at Stratford and Chepstow, and the former is marginally preferred. Newcomer Johnny Boy will be of interest if the market vibes are positive, while point winner Boyles Hill is by no means ruled out.

A few with chances but Ben Pauling's AS LEGENDS HAVE IT made a promising bumper debut when second at Stratford and can go one better.

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.

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.
