Despite hanging badly right in the run-in, BLUENOSE BELLE managed to hold on by just under a length at Fontwell last month and is just 2lb higher. The seven-year-old makes only his second handicap start in this sphere and may have more to offer. Rukaana finished third at Hereford last time and sports first-time blinkers, so is one to watch out for. Remarkable Flight is the pick of the remainder.

Going right handed might help BLUENOSE BELLE and she's the token suggestion in an extremely weak handicap.

ALL WELL AND GOOD put his underwhelming start over hurdles well behind him when finishing second at Ffos Las and is likely to have lots more to offer. With champion jockey Sean Bowen back on board, he will prove very hard to beat. Howth is a fair performer on the Flat and has to be respected on his first outing for the in-form Tom Lacey stable. Chantilly Moon has Brian Hughes booked and may prove best of the rest.

Howth was useful on the Flat but the chances are that ALL WELL AND GOOD will take the world of beating.

CLOUDY WEDNESDAY travelled powerfully to make every yard of the running to score at Fakenham last month and a 3lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side for the nine-year-old. Beat The Edge occupied the runner-up berth in a stronger event at Sedgefield and has to be taken seriously, while Kayce Dutton is another to keep an eye on.

The 7yo KAYCE DUTTON usually gives his running and this is a lower-grade race than the one in which he was made favourite last time.

CAN'T BEAT HISTORY continues to go from strength to strength and returning to this track is a major plus, having won here twice last summer. A 9lb rise for his most recent success at Warwick could prove lenient, and he gets the vote ahead of Giovanni Change, who bounced back to form with a determined success over C&D last month. A capable sort on his day, Choosethenews may also have a say in proceedings.

Preference is for AJP KINGDOM who continued his good work in cheekpieces with a third at Cheltenham.

BETHPAGE has returned to her best after wing surgery, and her most recent second in a valuable handicap at Cheltenham appeals as the best form on offer. Emma Lavelle's charge is likely to appreciate going back up in trip based on her penultimate success at Wincanton. Billy Boi Blue can give the selection most to think about after a narrow victory at Ayr's Scottish National meeting. A winner at Carlisle last time out off 2lb lower, Willaston is another to consider, as well as the consistent Scrum Diddly.

This looks competitive. BETHPAGE has soon shown the benefit of wind surgery and looked unlucky not to win at Cheltenham.

A taking winner over shorter here on his first start for new connections last month, ROBBER'S BRIDGE is taken to continue his progression, despite a 6lb rise from the handicapper. Iron Heart hinted at a return to form when third at Ffos Las recently and is expected to be in the mix along with Knacker Trapper, whose form could be revived by the application of first-time cheekpieces.

Last year's winner IRON HEART (nap) finished a close third at Ffos Las most recently and he looks to have more in his favour this 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.

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.
