BARRA BLUE disappointed at Fakenham recently having bolted up over C&D in December. That effort might raise concerns, but the daughter of Blue Bresil has less to prove than many and it would come as no surprise were she to bounce back at a venue that clearly suits. Coco Brave showed enough on her reappearance to suggest she can be a force today, while Call Blue, who sports cheekpieces for the first time, is also noted.

This could be a decent opportunity for ALEXANDRA LAROSE to get off the mark on handicap debut and she'd be a more confident selection if market vibes are positive. Having shown glimpses of ability in bumpers/novice hurdles, she wouldn't need to be anything special to take this on her first attempt over this sort of distance. In a moderate contest, Call Blue could do better in first-time headgear while Barra Blue has at least won over C&D in similar conditions.

Handicap newcomer ALEXANDRA LAROSE is bred to be suited by the step up in trip and can provide the in-form Olly Murphy with another win.

The vote goes to ATLANTIC LAD, who was able to build on a promising hurdles debut when filling the runner-up spot next time out. This isn't the deepest of contests, so any further improvement might be enough for Donald McCain's gelding to score. That said, Graham was no slouch on the Flat and he would be a real danger if taking to this new discipline. Irisante heads the remainder.

ATLANTIC LAD stepped forward from his Rules debut effort when a very good second in a Bangor novice 39 days ago. He's a lead player on that evidence and earns the vote with conditions holding no fears. Irisante is a player on the pick of her form in France and can figure in receipt of weight all round. Hurdles debutant Graham is another to note, along with the returning Pleasington.

Having been a clear second at Bangor last month behind the odds-on winner, ATLANTIC LAD is taken to go one better.

Land Afar was no match for a short-priced winner at Huntingdon recently and though the son of Kalinisi sets the standard, the 10-year-old could prove vulnerable to younger legs and BARLOVENTO is preferred. Olly Murphy's charge flattered to receive at Warwick last time having won at Carlisle on his hurdling debut, but the break should have done him some good and he can get back on track. Kepler's Law might be booked for third.

KEPLERS'S LAW has shaped with a good deal of encouragement on both starts over hurdles to date and it's unlikely we've seen the best of him yet, so he's narrowly preferred to penalised pair Barlovento and Land Afar in an intriguing small-field maiden.

The 6yo BARLOVENTO was very much up against it last time in attempting to concede 7lb to one who looks very progressive.

Shillanavogy has to be respected having got off the mark over fences at Fontwell last time, although a 6lb rise will make life tougher for him here. As a result, preference is for LAZY SUNDAY, who chased home a progressive rival at Lingfield last month and that form gives her a big chance. Percy Veering also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and is the pick of the remainder.

PERCY VEERING went down all guns blazing on his seasonal reappearance at Market Rasen and the 8-y-o is taken to resume winning ways. He may have most to fear from the mare Lazy Sunday, who found only the progressive Aworkinprogress too good in a Lingfield handicap last month and a reproduction of that effort would give her every chance. Camulus and Shillanavogy are others with claims.

Warren Greatrex's horses are running well and the unexposed 7yo SHILLANAVOGY (nap) can follow up last month's win at Fontwell.

ACHILLE DES ROCS confirmed the promise that he displayed when winning a maiden hurdle at Southwell in November by scoring on his handicap debut over 2m3f at Catterick last month. A 4lb rise for that success may still underestimate this progressive six-year-old and he has to be of interest. Snapius (first) and Trust House (second) are closely matched based on their meeting at Lingfield last time and they could both be in the mix once again.

There could be better to come from TRUST HOUSE in this sphere and he is taken to reverse last month's Lingfield placings with Snapius. Olly Murphy's charge is better off at the weights with that rival now and was a very decisive winner over this C&D 13 days earlier. While Snapius is not discounted, the unexposed Achille des Rocs and Inferno Sacree may emerge as the main dangers to Trust House this time. Tommie Gun is on a workable mark but he ideally needs a stiffer test.

Alex Chadwick gave SNAPIUS a good ride to win at Lingfield last month and the pair can follow up. Trust House is feared most.

Hunter Legend and Karuma Grey have to be of interest following impressive victories on their most recent outings. That said, this will demand more from both of them and preference is for WESTERNINTHEPARK. Olly Murphy's gelding failed to fire at Aintree last time but is arguably the one to beat based on his second in a competitive event at Cheltenham the time before.

HUNTER LEGEND is a likeable type who put up an impressive display to score readily here last month and he seems to have found a good opportunity to follow up. The class-dropping Westerninthepark is a danger and Karuma Grey should be considered after his shock success on debut for his current stable.

Karuma Grey is respected on the back of last month's 100-1 win but preference is for HUNTER LEGEND, who bolted up here last time.

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.
