GEORGI GIRL ran out a very easy winner on her latest outing on Grand Military day at Sandown a fortnight ago and commands the utmost respect, especially with Elizabeth Gale's 8lb claim to aid her cause. Smurfette has shown promise on both hurdles outings to date and has to enter calculations making her handicap bow from the foot of the weights. Amelia's Dance and Mucuna are others to consider.

This could boil down to a match between GEORGI GIRL and Smurfette, with preference for the former having handled testing conditions with aplomb at Sandown a fortnight ago, and with plenty of rain in the forecast, she could well take some stopping. Dan Skelton's mare makes a quick switch to handicaps and she makes plenty appeal from an opening mark of 100, with Amelia's Dance seemingly best of the remainder.

Sandown scorer GEORGI GIRL could well show further progress. Smurfette and Notnowlinda give Dan Skelton an interesting hand.

Gentle Slopes made a winning start for Nicky Henderson over 2m here last month and the Listed bumper winner should have more to offer. That said, his stamina isn't entirely assured stepping back up in trip and MASACCIO could be in place to take full advantage. Alan King's grey has achieved a solid level of form, including when fifth in the Challow at Newbury, and he may well benefit from a sounder surface. Defi Nonantais rates best of the rest.

MASACCIO has some solid form and, having been spared a hard race once held in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury, he's fancied to resume winning ways now returned to calmer waters. Gentle Slopes remains totally unexposed for Nicky Henderson and ought to prove equally as effective over this longer trip, with Thunder N Lightnin in the running for minor honours.

Eased in grade after a very respectable fifth in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury in December, MASACCIO looks the one to beat.

ERNEST GRAY clearly benefited from his chasing debut at Wetherby in November when justifying favouritism at Southwell last month. Open to further improvement, a 5lb rise is unlikely to be an inconvenience in what appears a winnable contest on paper. Pedley Wood is unbeaten in two starts over fences, with victories at Hereford and Taunton to his name, and he has to be of interest once again. Others to note include Shot Boii and James Jet.

Cases can be made for several of these, with SCRUM DIDDLY the one who appeals most. He is 2 lb below the mark off which he was a good second in a small-field Ascot handicap on his penultimate start and, with just three runs in this sphere under his belt, he could have more to offer. Pedley Wood made it 2-2 over fences at Taunton and he's a live contender, while Godot, Midnight Centurion and Shot Boii should all have parts to play, too.

Bottom-weight PEDLEY WOOD is taken to maintain his unbeaten record over fences. Ernest Gray is second choice.

Wot You Wearing has found only the progressive Gyllen too strong on his last two outings and Freddie Gingell's 5lb claim puts the seven-year-old on an appealing mark. However, it may be worth chancing last year's winner of this contest, SAMI BEAR. Chris Gordon's gelding has shaped better than the beaten distance this season and he may be able to capitalise now racing off his last winning rating. Handicap debutants Katate Dori and Bentley's Return also warrant a second look.

Claims can be made for plenty including BENTLEY'S RETURN who makes a quick switch to handicaps following an encouraging third in novice company at Plumpton when last seen in December and he promises to do better still at this sort of trip. Wot You Wearing is building up a most admirable record and is feared, along with Hurricane Danny. Katate Dori and last year's winner Sami Bear complete the shortlist.

Progressive 7yo WOT YOU WEARING benefits from Freddie Gingell's very useful 5lb claim here and gets the nod ahead of Katate Dori.

FIRST LORD DE CUET lost little in defeat when finding only subsequent scorer Anglers Crag too strong at Market Rasen last month and he's effectively 2lb well-in before his revised mark kicks in. The veteran ticks plenty of the right boxes and an overdue first success over fences could be imminent. Wincanton runner-up Iconic Muddle is a potential improver now upped in distance and he must also enter calculations, along with the returning Highstakesplayer.

FIRST LORD DE CUET is one to be interested in again suddenly having pulled clear of the rest when second to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen last month. Killer Kane landed a gamble in this race last year and is an obvious threat on the back of a decent third at Newbury, while low-mileage 11-y-o Iconic Muddle made a promising comeback at Wincanton.

With useful claimer Freddie Gingell taking off 5lb, KILLER KANE (nap) looks poised to follow up last year's win.

OFF THE JURY was purchased for 170,000 euros a few days after winning between the flags in Ireland, and suggested that it could be money well spent when an eyecatching second in a Doncaster bumper. He can make it second-time lucky under Rules, although Electric Mason won't make it easy for him because his Ascot third was very encouraging. Ken Roy is a 92,000-euro half-brother to a Listed-placed hurdler in France and he is the most interesting of the newcomers.

OFF THE JURY, a point winner, caught the eye on debut at Doncaster a month ago and looks the one to be with. Ken Roy is a notable newcomer.

The pick of the runners with experience is OFF THE JURY. Ken Roy and Les's Jersey Royal are respected newcomers.

TRADECRAFT only found one too good on his first taste of competitive action at Ascot in November and the son of Blue Bresil looks to have every chance of going one better here. The Bluesman was purchased for 200,000 pounds after finishing second on his sole start between the flags so he has to be of interest. Others to consider are Night Stalker and White Riot.

Although only third in a point, THE BLUESMAN is well bred and was acquired for £200,000, so he's a likely candidate to make a successful Rules debut having joined a top yard. Tradecraft is an obvious danger on the back of a positive start at Ascot and Andashan isn't easily dismissed.

As regards the runners with experience, TRADECRAFT and The Bluesman look best. White Riot is the pick of the newcomers.

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.
