A promising second on his debut over hurdles for new connections at Stratford, SIXMILEBRIDGE is entitled to improve plenty on that effort and, as a former point-to-pointer, the step up in trip is likely to suit. The five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Newcastle bumper winner Lawrenny and Je Viens Du Large, who wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D last month. Sole Solution and Tintagel Queen are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

SIXMILEBRIDGE made a promising start over hurdles when second at Stratford on return and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better with the longer trip sure to suit. Lawrenny was progressive in bumpers so may emerge as the biggest threat.

Despite failing favourite backers on his hurdling debut at Stratford, SIXMILEBRIDGE remains a good prospect.

A tad unlucky not to get his head in front last season, WILLIAMDECONQUEROR looks to have been found an ideal opportunity on his first run since February, and soft ground should play to his strengths. A relatively promising third over C&D last month, Shesupincourt is capable of building on that effort, while Pearl Island is interesting on his chase debut for the in-form Henry Daly team.

WILLIAMDECONQUEROR held his form well last season and has been found a good opening to make his reappearance, so he's the one to beat if fully tuned up. Pearl Island and Jikala are both noteworthy chasing debutants.

The 5yo EVERYONESACRITIC ran pretty well at Ludlow last time as 2m on good ground wouldn't be what he wants.

INSIDE MAN arrives on the back of a taking success at Exeter and there is likely to be plenty more to come from the four-year-old, despite having to carry a 10lb penalty. Carismatic Soldier showed up well when second on his debut in a Huntingdon bumper in March and he must enter calculations, along with French import Authodidacte and Malinificent, who is related to the stable's smart staying chaser Bob Mahler.

CARISMATIC SOLDIER ran well on debut in a bumper 9 months ago and is the sort to take to hurdling, so he's narrowly preferred to recent Exeter winner Inside Man. Auithodidacte is another interesting hurdling newcomer based on Flat form.

This may go to CARISMATIC SOLDIER who ran well behind a respected rival in his only bumper and his yard is going great guns.

In a moderate event, a chance can be taken on TRUST HOUSE, who won on the Flat and he may be suited by this switch to handicap company. Night Jet could prove to be the main danger based on an encouraging fifth at Ludlow two starts ago, while Mr Zee edges out Nedzor and Mount Washington to be best of the rest.

This looks decidedly trappy but TRUST HOUSE goes handicapping from a potentially lenient mark in this sphere judged on his Flat exploits and could be the way to go with the Olly Murphy yard continuing in good order. Mr Zee and Nedzor are others to consider.

The interesting runners are handicap debutants and a chance is taken on NEDZOR who has a nice pedigree.

SAMAZUL failed to fire on his most recent outing at Fontwell, but that followed a success at the same venue in October. It would be no surprise to see Ben Pauling's gelding bounce back to form given how weak this race appears to be. Johnny Mac was well held when third at Warwick but should not be underestimated, while similar comments apply to My Portia.

DAVID'S WELL failed to meet expectations on his handicap bow when last seen but he was progressive over hurdles prior to that and makes his chase debut in a weak event. Samazul is the obvious threat despite his weak finish at Fontwell last month.

The intriguing runner is DAVID'S WELL who could quite easily outclass his rivals on this switch to fences.

SHANTWOPOINTFIVE had plenty in hand when winning a maiden hurdle at Cartmel in May and she merits the utmost respect on her handicap debut, despite a 194-day break. Easy To Follow only found one too good on her return to action at Bangor and is likely to be in the mix once again. The shortlist is completed by Leading Choice and McGowan's Pass.

Provided she is ready to roll, the unexposed SHANTWOPOINTFIVE will have every chance of adding to her Cartmel maiden success when last seen in May. The form of that race is admittedly nothing special, but that doesn't detract from that the fact that this 6-y-o is promising and she has been handed a fair-looking mark for this handicap debut. Tommie Gun looks dangerous back on deep ground, while One Eye On Vegas is third on the list ahead of Easy To Follow.

This can go the way of EASY TO FOLLOW, a mudlover who has already run well in two handicaps. Leading Choice is feared most.

FILLYFUDGE made the frame on her return to hurdling over C&D last month and Amy Murphy's mare gets the vote off the same mark here. Passing Kate was a consistent performer last season and should not be underestimated in this company, even if a 227-day layoff is a slight concern. Twyford's Diamond has had a wind operation since her last appearance and any market support for her would have to be noted.

The vote goes to C&D winner PASSING KATE, who shades preference ahead of the 3-y-o Malinka. The latter got back on track when third at Sedgefield and she has to be taken seriously now handicapping, while it would be no surprise if Fillyfudge were to make her presence felt, too.

The consistent PASSING KATE (nap) appeals as the safest option. She lacks a run but her yard is having winners.

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.
