A winner over 1m3f at Southwell, Rose Light commands respect despite her subsequent defeat here earlier in the week, while Louisiana Bay is effective over this sort of trip and cannot be ruled out with Grace McEntee claiming 3lb. However, DESERT QUEST, who was a surprise winner in an apprentice handicap over C&D prior to a solid Southwell fourth, shades preference.

LOUISIANA BAY looked unlucky not to finish closer still when fourth at Lingfield last time, nearest at the finish having been short of room in the last ½f, so she can build on that effort to get off the mark this time around. The main danger could be Rose Light, who had excuses for her run here 4 days ago, with Desert Quest also considered.

There's been enough from LOUISIANA BAY this winter to think she can win before long.

Recent C&D winner Redondo, along with Likeashadow and Likleman, arrives in good form, but LOVE YOURS shades preference. The Gemma Tutty-trained filly is still learning her trade, but was only a head behind a now 74-rated rival over this C&D latest, admittedly in receipt of weight. Given the winner has gone in again since, the daughter of Invincible Spirit may be underestimated from a rating of just 63, for what is only her second attempt at a mile.

REDONDO made a winning start for this yard over C&D last time and he looks capable of better again, so gets the nod to follow up. Likeashadow has built up a respectable record over C&D and is another player, with Likleman also meriting respect.

Redondo is respected after an easy C&D win two weeks ago but BELLA UMBRIA is expected to leave her earlier efforts well behind.

A comfortable three-length winner when odds-on for her debut over C&D, ALHATTAN is hard to oppose in her bid for a follow-up success. George Boughey's filly, whose dam won a Listed race as a three-year-old, is probably destined for a rise in class when she goes handicapping and is fancied to be too precocious for potential improver Alpine Oasis at this stage. Heed the market signals where newcomers Rasmah and Miss Alpilles are concerned.

ALHATTAN is impossible to oppose after a taking debut over C&D last month. Newcomers Miss Alpilles and Rasmah both make some appeal on paper but would surely have to be well above average to get the better of the selection.

Alpine Oasis can step up on her debut effort but ALHATTAN looked a smart prospect on her debut and she can follow up.

The veteran Bobby Joe Leg completed an excellent four-timer when winning over C&D 15 days ago, but this is more demanding. With that in mind, preference is for the much less exposed SMOKY MOUNTAIN, who can go one better having been narrowly denied in a stronger event at Southwell last time out. Beelzebub appeals most of the remainder, although Admiral D would not be without a chance if seeing out the extra furlong.

SMOKY MOUNTAIN has been going the right way this winter, edged out only on the line at Southwell 18 days ago, so he is taken to resume winning ways with the potential of more still to come. Beelzebub made his second start for Alice Haynes a winning one at this C&D last month and isn't taken lightly, while Bobby Joe Leg can go well once more.

Bobby Joe Leg should go well again but SMOKY MOUNTAIN (nap) can take another step up the handicapping ladder.

Having been touched off by Dingle on his penultimate outing, Oliver Show recorded a triumph of his own over 7f here recently. The pair have to feature prominently in calculations again, but TRAIS FLUORS shades preference. Linda Perratt's 10-year-old proved he retains plenty of enthusiasm when successful over C&D and although now 3lb higher, that shouldn't prevent him from mounting another stern challenge.

DINGLE regained the winning thread when proving ½-length too strong for Oliver Show over C&D last month and he looks capable of defying a 2 lb rise in the weights. The latter went one better here next time and should be in the mix once again but Dingle may have most to fear from Noble Order, who showed plenty of promise in his four starts for Charlie Appleby and is of interest on debut for new connections, despite the lengthy absence.

Titan Rock is seriously considered but OLIVER SHOW is on the up and can reverse last month's C&D placings with Dingle.

There has been no stopping BONITO CAVALO at this venue of late, with Jim Goldie's gelding completing a five-timer, despite finding trouble passing the two-furlong pole, in a handicap over the minimum trip. He is hard to oppose in his current vein of form and gets the nod over He's An Angel, who bids to extended a winning run of his own. Rory and Hurt You Never are just two others to consider.

BONITO CAVALO and He's An Angel are both going great guns and look set to fight out the finish. Marginal preference is for the former, who has predictably shot up the weights after winning five on the bounce but he clearly goes well here and probably has more to offer. Hurt You Never and Rory can do battle for minor honours.

Bonito Cavalo and HE'S AN ANGEL have recorded eight wins between them already this year. The latter is marginally preferred here.

RICH WATERS produced a much better display to go down by a neck over C&D earlier in the month and he has only been put up 1lb for that effort. If the son of Showcasing can back the performance up, he could finally record his first victory since switching to the Grant Tuer stable. Concert Boy, who finished a close-up third over a mile here last month, needs to be considered off a 1lb higher rating. Dual course winner Danielsflyer is another to note.

CONCERT BOY wasn't seen to best effect but still came in a good third here last time out so is fancied to bag a second C&D success off just a 1 lb higher mark. Rich Waters arrives on a long losing run yet still rates the chief threat ahead of in-form duo Jems Bond and One Last Hug.

A trappy event but CONCERT BOY looked ready to strike here last time and can record a second C&D success. Rich Waters is next best.

Turbo Command has been in the top two at Southwell on his last couple of starts and remains on the same mark as his latest second. However, TO THE BAR wasn't disgraced when fifth at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him a further 2lb. Alice Haynes' gelding competes off his lowest ever career figure and gets the vote. Last week's C&D winner Eleven Eleven holds an obvious chance too.

ELEVEN ELEVEN showed a good attitude when going in over C&D last week and this multiple course scorer can defy a 2 lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of Southwell runner-up Turbo Command. Angel Amadea also arrives in good nick and needs factoring in too.

This could be run to suit ANGEL AMADEA and she's tentatively preferred to Global Humor and Turbo Command.

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.
