EVA ROSIE arrives here on the back of two seconds over a mile at this venue in recent weeks and the step up in trip could help the four-year-old to go one better. Wheres The Crumpet filled the runner-up spot when last seen over this C&D two starts ago and she has to be of interest, while Mr Coco Bean completes the shortlist.

A deserved first taste of success beckons for EVA ROSIE, who has put in good shifts on each of her three starts since returning from a break in January and she is worth another chance at this trip judged on her recent near miss over a mile here. Tiberio Force ran poorly at Wolverhampton when last seen in November but he was knocking on the door prior to that and should be in the mix if fully tuned-up for this, while Wheres The Crumpet also enters calculations.

Although back in trip following a layoff, this can go to RED BIRD, who makes her yard debut and is bred to be better than this grade

RUN BOY RUN filled second place in three of his four starts as a juvenile and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for Richard Spencer's gelding to get off the mark. Restless Prince represents a yard that can get one ready first time out and any market support for him would have to be noted. Others to consider are Grandlad and Born To Charm.

RUN BOY RUN holds the clear edge on form and should prove suited by dropping in trip so looks the way to go unless one of the trio of newcomers proves above-average, with Karl Burke's Restless Prince potentially the chief threat.

An uncompetitive maiden could go to RUN BOY RUN, who sets a fair standard and shouldn't be troubled by the drop to 6f

Blacklion has to be of interest having filled second place on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last week, but marginal preference is for TAKEITYOUREMINE. Archie Watson's filly put in a career-best when runner-up in maiden company last month and a mark of 46 should be workable on her handicap bow, especially as she may improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces. Trust Time edges out Loubiere to be best of the rest.

This represents a golden opportunity for BLACKLION, who took a significant step forward on his handicap debut/first run since being gelded when runner-up with a hood enlisted at Chelmsford last week. He is entitled to come on for that run (first start following a 5-month break) and should make a bold bid to go one better if proving equally effective on this surface. This stiffer test promises to suit Ocean Bliss and she is second choice ahead of Takeityouremine.

The one who makes most appeal is Mick Appleby's OCEAN BLISS, who has shaped as though she'll be suited by 1m and she can do better

On just his second start for Grant Tuer, LAHAB finished one and a half lengths behind the in-form Danielsflyer over a mile here earlier this month but a 5lb swing in the weights, coupled with the step back to 7f, can see that form reversed this time around. One More Dream clearly thrives off racing, having already run four times this month, and on the back of an admirable second off a 1lb lower mark last week, the consistent son of Bated Breath holds obvious claims to at least hit the frame once more.

STREAK LIGHTNING didn't enjoy the rub of the green here last time so Ruth Carr's 7-y-o is worth siding with to capitalise on a lenient mark. Fellow C&D scorer Starshiba is also weighted to have a big say, while recent victors One More Dream and Mumayaz command plenty of respect too under their penalties.

A competitive event in which ONE MORE DREAM appeals most. He was just touched off a week ago and he's now reunited with a 5lb claimer

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS scored with more in hand than the winning margin suggests when coming from off the pace over 6f at Kempton most recently and the suspicion is that a 5lb penalty may not be enough to anchor Tony Carroll's five-year-old. Water Of Leith kept on well when finishing second over 5f at Wolverhampton last week and, stepping up to 6f off an unchanged mark, he commands respect. Sydney Bay is 4lb above his last winning mark but providing a recent wind operation has the desired effect, he can make his presence felt in a race of this nature.

WATER OF LEITH signed off in 2023 by scoring at Southwell and ran at least as well when runner-up at Wolverhampton on his comeback, so he gets the nod from an unchanged mark over the penalised Glamorous Express. Dream Together is well treated on the pick of last season's form and can complete the placings from the bottom of the weights.

This can to go to GLAMOROUS EXPRESS, who won with a bit more in hand than the winning margin suggested at Kempton last time

Golden Rainbow is at the top of his game and is attractively weighted for his return to handicap company, despite a 5lb penalty imposed for Monday's cosy success in a classified stakes over this course and distance. However, this is competitive, with the likes of Mumcat, Latin Five (winner) and PHOENIX STAR (second) all boasting solid credentials. The latter in particular captures the imagination and, assuming he breaks sharply, the eight-year-old can turn around recent C&D form with Latin Five on these revised terms.

There wasn't much between LATIN FIVE and Phoenix Star when they met here in September, with the former narrowly prevailing, and they again fought out the finish of another C&D handicap a fortnight ago. Latin Five gained his revenge on that occasion, proving ¾-length too strong for Jessica Macey's charge, and he looks capable of following up off this 4 lb higher mark. Phoenix Star is consistent and should be bang there once again, while Starsong is also accorded respect.

There may be enough of a pace on to play to the strengths of LATIN FIVE (nap), who notched a first AW success over this C&D last time

DRAKEHOLES delivered his challenge a fraction too late when he finished a neck second in a similar race over this course and distance 15 days ago. However, with the third home in that race subsequently boosting the form, there is good reason to give the five-year-old another chance. Copper Mountain rates the chief danger from a handy draw, although Rum Runner cannot be dismissed either.

DRAKEHOLES can boast a C&D success and rates the pick at these weights so gets the verdict in this open classified event. Southwell scorer Headshot appeals as the one to give Alison Hamilton's 5-y-o most to do ahead of course winners Rum Runner and Billy McGarry.

Having posted a good effort here last time, DRAKEHOLES gets the vote. Variety Island 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.
