SAMBEZI hosed up by 17 lengths in a class 4 event when last seen in May at Worcester and he now makes his return to action for the Oliver Signy stable. The son of Rajsaman only has two rivals to contend with and should have no issues with this shorter trip, so he is difficult to oppose. For Pleasure holds stronger credentials than Nashville Nipper after he bolted up by 15 lengths at Fakenham last week and he can give the selection a lot to think about.

FOR PLEASURE came clear readily for his new yard at Fakenham last week and looks good for the follow up under a penalty given he's been rated much higher. Sambezi has form figures of 121 over the Fontwell hurdles and is feared most on his first start for 7 months.

Front-running FOR PLEASURE looks well capable of following up his Fakenham win. Sambezi is second choice.

NATURALLY HIGH was well held in sixth in a class 4 event at Lingfield on his return from a 228-day break recently but the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 5lb for that display. The eight-year-old now takes a drop in grade and could be ready to strike. The main danger might be Cochise, who may have found 3m1f too far at Plumpton last time and could be seen in a better light as he now drops in distance. King Otis completes the shortlist.

NATURALLY HIGH hasn't shown much for a while but he now drops markedly in grade from a much-reduced mark for Gary Moore and a revival wouldn't come as a surprise. Chantilly Rose is potentially very interesting now going handicapping up in trip and King Otis can also go well again.

Off a very handy mark back in this grade, NATURALLY HIGH may be the answer. Hobb's Delight is second choice.

The Good Doctor sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 113 and he should get into contention. However, preference is for THANK YOU MA'AM, who was sent off at huge odds when finishing a fair third at Kempton last month and he could have plenty more to offer. Just One Surf warrants a market check on his debut over hurdles.

THE GOOD DOCTOR won a fair handicap over this trip in France and made an encouraging start for his new yard at Lingfield 4 weeks ago. He can build on that and come out on top under a penalty. Tea And Chats showed plenty in two races over hurdles at Plumpton this time last year and is a big player if ready to roll dropped in trip. Thank You Ma'am and Balhambar complete the shortlist.

French handicap winner THE GOOD DOCTOR arguably ran better than the bare result suggests when fourth on last month's British debut.

Winning pointer SPEAKER THOMAS posted a respectable second in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster last month. The six-year-old can improve for the switch to fences and he could make light work of an opening mark of 102. Dusky Days finished third behind a subsequent winner on his chase bow at Hereford in November and Jamie Snowden's inmate is feared most, ahead of Ballymagee.

SPEAKER THOMAS remains the type to do better over fences and can build on an encouraging start for Ben Pauling and come out on top. Dusky Days and Hector Jaguen are a couple of the other likely players.

The suggestion is DUSKY DAYS, who showed promise on his chase debut and can build on that, with this longer trip looking positive.

ELLERTON proved far more competitive on the drop in grade when finishing third over C&D recently and a similar level of performance may suffice. El Pro was a useful performer on the Flat and Jennie Candlish's charge is a viable alternative on his NH debut. Bridge and Makanao are both making their fourth appearances in this sphere and that experience could come in handy.

ELLERTON wasn't disgraced faced with a stern test in the mud here a fortnight ago and can open his account in this sphere now with more improvement likely. Fair German Flat performer El Pro is interesting starting out for Jennie Candlish, while Bridge is probably capable of better.

This weak contest can be taken by ELLERTON, who showed promise on the Flat in France and was just a bit to free over C&D last time.

Wind surgery has been the making of EDISON KENT, judging by his demolition job over hurdles at Fakenham last week, and James Owen turns him out again quickly in an attempt to strike while the iron is hot. His four previous attempts at the larger obstacles have hardly set the world alight, but he must be stuck with off the same mark. Captain Claude made a successful start to his chasing career here and should stay this longer trip. Pilot Show enters the equation too.

CAPTAIN CLAUDE looked all stamina when making a successful debut over fences here last month and this stiffer test is sure to suit Anthony Honeyball's charge. He could take the beating. Pilot Show could be the danger ahead of the quirky Edison Kent.

Pilot Show can go well but CAPTAIN CLAUDE (nap) looks the type to progress over fences and the return to further can suit.

Halondo has progressed well and returned with a solid effort to fill the runner-up berth at Lingfield. He is 3lb higher, though, and the winner has done nothing for the form since, so a chance is taken that the fire still burns bright enough in GOOD NEWS. Lydia Richards' veteran showed more enthusiasm with his back-to-form second at Stratford and he certainly knows his way around this venue. Paricolor has acquitted himself quite well in tough Cheltenham handicaps, finishing just ahead of High Stakes there last month.

HALONDO probably would have won on his return at Lingfield if he'd met the last flight better and he can make amends if he stays the longer trip. High Stakes and Paricolor are respected on the back of good efforts at Cheltenham, while Good News can never be dismissed around here.

Despite almost coming a cropper last time, HALONDO still produced a good effort and he can gain compensation today.

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.

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.
