LARGY POET put in a career best when a 12-length winner of a maiden hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Exeter last month. That performance suggests that the Paul Nicholls-trained five-year-old could be hard to beat off a mark of 127 on his handicap bow. Samuel Spade struggled in the Lanzarote over C&D on his most recent outing, but he could make his presence felt at this more realistic level. Joker De Mai and Get A Tonic are also noted.

Chris Gordon saddled the winner of this in 2022 and in SEA INVASION the yard fields an intriguing candidate this time round. The 6-y-o took a step forward when fourth in a maiden here on Boxing Day, form which is working out well (second and third both won since), and he promises to be suited by this stiffer test now pitched into a handicap. Top-weight Pentland Hills will be a big threat if able to build on his encouraging reappearance, while Largy Poet and Joker de Mai are also key players.

Interesting handicap debutants SEA INVASION and Largy Poet head a shortlist that is completed by Joker De Mai.

KALIF DU BERLAIS created a big impression when winning on his UK/stable debut over C&D last month and Paul Nicholls' juvenile merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance, despite having to concede weight all round. Givemefive appears to be a big threat following his 18-length success under a penalty at Warwick. Cases can be made for most of the remainder, but Captain Marvellous is marginally the pick of them.

KALIF DU BERLAIS created an excellent impression when scoring in good style on his UK/stable debut over C&D 6 weeks ago and is fancied to maintain his unbeaten record upped in grade. Givemefive is well worth his place in this company after blowing away the opposition on his most recent outing at Warwick, while Captain Marvellous and Peking Opera shouldn't be overlooked for all that they have something to find on ratings.

In a strong Adonis, KALIF DU BERLAIS has to give his rivals 5lb but he has looked an excellent prospect and may well be up to the task.

TAHMURAS may have been a beaten favourite on his most recent start at Exeter, but he was giving a useful rival 5lb on that occasion and he gets a tentative nod in this wide-open event. Arclight is unbeaten in three starts over fences and Nicky Henderson's mare should not be underestimated. Le Patron is more than capable of going well if leaving his disappointing Scilly Isles run behind him, while similar comments apply to Pembroke and Blow Your Wad.

Paul Nicholls recorded a third consecutive win (and a thirteenth overall) when taking this with Solo last year and he can enhance that record further with TAHMURAS, who left his chasing debut effort well behind when scoring at Aintree on Boxing Day and confirmed that improvement when finishing runner-up at Exeter next time. Grade 1 winner Le Patron rates as an obvious danger, while Arclight, who is unbeaten in 3 starts over fences, adds another layer of intrigue to an open-looking Grade 2.

The combination of cheekpieces and return to Kempton hands the percentage call to BLOW YOUR WAD. Second choice is Tahmuras.

The Ben Pauling yard can do little wrong at present and FIERCELY PROUD should be well suited by this test, having shown plenty of pace at Doncaster last month before fading into third. He can overturn form with Lump Sum (second), whose jumping can still be brushed up on, which is a worry on a sharp track like this. Panjari made a fine impression at Musselburgh, while Secret Squirrel must also be considered on the drop in trip.

None of these can be ruled out but LUMP SUM has improved a chunk with each of his three hurdling runs and is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent second in Doncaster's Rossington Main. Ben Pauling's Fiercely Proud came in a place behind Sam Thomas' improver that day and rates the main threat, although the likes of Panjari, Idy Wood and Secret Squirrel need factoring into this cracking Grade 2 too.

The rematch between Lump Sum and Fiercely Proud looks tight. SECRET SQUIRREL and Helnwein are interesting alternatives.

A comfortable winner over C&D last month and narrowly denied in this contest last year off 5lb lower, FLEGMATIK must hold strong claims of going one better. Soft ground may not be ideal, but his form stands up and he is narrowly preferred to Lord Baddesley, who looks to have been saved for this since a strong runner-up effort at Newbury in December. Denied by the narrowest of margins in the Great Yorkshire at Doncaster, Forward Plan is another to note, along with the classy Il Ridoto going up in trip, and dual course winner Tweed Skirt.

BLACKJACK MAGIC has shown enough the last twice to think he's still on a good mark if he can eliminate late jumping errors and can lead home an Anthony Honeyball 1-2 ahead of Great Yorkshire runner-up Forward Plan. Ben Pauling has his team in flying form and Bowtogreatness could also have a big say having shaped as if coming to hand when fifth in the traditionally-strong Timeform novice handicap at Cheltenham last month.

Preference is for LORD BADDESLEY (nap), who promises to be suited by going up further in distance. Tweed Skirt is second choice.

CHAMPAGNE MYSTERY ran with promise when fifth at Cheltenham on his return to UK soil and, easing 2lb in the handicap, he may represent value in what appears a competitive affair. Heltenham looked a progressive chaser with a bright future when notching three victories last season, but he hasn't quite kicked on as expected and needs to bounce back from a couple of subdued efforts. Impressive last-time-out C&D winner Pepe Le Moko warrants consideration, despite a 9lb rise.

This is tougher than the C&D handicap PEPE LE MOKO landed last time and he has a 9 lb higher mark to contend with, but he looks a chaser going places and is taken to strike again. Champagne Mystery is feared most on the back of his admirable effort in a big Cheltenham handicap, while Heltenham is also accorded respect and Golden Son is not one to write off just yet.

Clear preference is for PEPE LE MOKO and Grandads Cottage, who both finished so firmly on top last time out.

ROMAN ROY shaped with promise when second in a Wincanton bumper and with that experience under his belt, he can make a bold bid to go one place better for his top stable. Point-to-point winner Oak Grove posted an encouraging fifth-placed finish at Ascot and he may prove the main danger, although any positivity in the market for newcomer Mythical Moon should be noted.

Several notable newcomers but they'll all have a job getting the better of ROMAN ROY, who made a bright start when runner-up at Wincanton on debut. Oak Grove also shaped with promise first time out and Country Mile is an interesting recruit from points.

Chesh is an interesting newcomer but top of the list is ROMAN ROY who ran a race full of promise on debut and can go one better.

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.
