CHARLATAN got off the mark in handicap company over a mile at Kempton a couple of weeks ago and that form gives the unexposed four-year-old a big chance at this level. Twistaline won a similar race to this at Southwell on Tuesday and has to be of interest, despite having to concede weight all round. Thoughtful Gift and United Force are others to consider.

CHARLATAN pulled clear with the runner-up when off the mark at Kempton 2 weeks ago and this unexposed sort is fancied to follow up. Thoughtful Gift and Twistaline are feared most.

Lightly raced 5yo mare THOUGHTFUL GIFT is taken to build on her latest effort and go one better. Charlatan is feared most.

The consistent Artisan Dancer has to be respected following his deserved win over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle recently. That said, a 5lb rise could leave the four-year-old vulnerable and preference is for APPARATE, who ran well in some competitive events last season and he could prove to be a class above these rivals. Others to note are Red Flyer and Spartan Army.

BARENBOIM hinted at a revival when eighth at Southwell last time so this course winner is taken to capitalise on a reduced mark at the chief expense of recent Newcastle scorer Artisan Dancer. In-form pair Moliwood and Red Flyer both need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

The drop back in grade may enable BARENBOIM to stage a revival. Red Flyer is second choice.

TWILIGHT MADNESS, a C&D winner two starts ago, was only beaten a neck when second over 5f at Chelmsford on Thursday and he should be hard to beat off the same mark here. Laheg was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat, although King Cabo and Incrimination must not be underestimated on their returns.

LAHEG has been given a chance by the handicapper and ran well on the back of 8 months off latest start when third in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, that despite a poor start. He earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with the returning pair Incrimination and King Cabo heading the dangers.

Preference is for LAHEG (nap), ahead of Twilight Madness. Incrimination and Whenthedealinsdone are interesting types.

The combination of wind and gelding procedures appeared to rejuvenate DEAR MY FRIEND, who was quite taking when landing a handicap at Newcastle on New Year's Day. Charlie Johnston's inmate looks ready for this return to Listed company and he could get the better of potential improver Nine Tenths, who might relish this step up to a mile. Diderot and Bopedro also have the form to go close.

NINE TENTHS has marginally the best form and was better than the result when second at Newcastle a month ago, so he takes preference over Dear My Friend, who took a marked step forward to score at the same course last time. Bopedro also has form claims.

The upped-in-trip NINE TENTHS could well show the best turn of foot in what may prove a tactical affair. Dear My Friend is feared.

ANNAF capped off a fruitful campaign with a victory in the Bengough Stakes at Ascot in October, having previously landed the Portland, and the King's Stand third can successfully concede weight to his rivals now eased in class. Coachello may have found that his fifth-placed finish at Kempton came too soon, just four days on from a Newcastle triumph. Gordon Elliott's raider could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Willem Twee and Diligent Harry.

DILIGENT HARRY was narrowly denied by Annaf in this 12 months ago but meets Mick Appleby's charge on 5 lb better terms this time and, from a good draw, might be able to turn the tables with Ryan Moore taking the reins on him for the first time. The progressive William Twee is another who should play a prominent role in a good renewal of this listed prize.

Armed with a 5lb pull, last year's runner-up DILIGENT HARRY could well go one better and reverse placings with Annaf.

WORLD OF DARCY was well beaten in Group 3 and Listed company either side of a novice-race victory at Nottingham towards the back end of last season. However, in a handicap for the first time and now gelded, he is fancied to get his three-year-old campaign off to a flyer. The hat-trick seeking Blue Prince rates as the main danger, even though he finds himself on a career-high mark. Brave Empire also warrants consideration, but he needs to bounce back from a laboured comeback at Newcastle.

BLUE PRINCE had 2 of today's rivals behind when scoring at Newcastle on New Year's Day and looks up to completing a hat-trick from a 4 lb higher mark. Brave Empire was beaten at short odds in the contest but was returning from a 6-month absence and remains of interest from a mark in the mid-90s, whilst Roman Emperor built on his novice win with a sound effort in a C&D handicap last time and also merits respect.

John Ryan holds a robust hand with the improving ROMAN EMPEROR and interesting World Of Darcy.

MAKE CLEAR came agonisingly close to making all over C&D last week, only finding an in-form rival a neck too good. Nudged up just 1lb, she should make a solid fist of trying to go gate to wire from a handy stall. Red Walls warrants consideration, although he scrambled home in a 6f classified event at this course recently, and the suspicion is the handicapper may have him where he wants for the time being. Royal Agent makes her handicap debut for her astute stable and is worth a look.

This can go to MAKE CLEAR, who bounced back to form when caught close home over C&D last week and, nudged up just 1 lb for that near miss, Robert Cowell's filly can open her account at the expense of Red Walls, who has hit the target 3 times already this winter and looks sure to go well returned to handicap company. Victors Dream and handicap-debutante Royal Agent can fight out third.

On the back of a good C&D effort, MAKE CLEAR could well go one better and open her account. Victors Dream is second choice.

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.
