DAARIS was on target over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start before going agonisingly close over the extended 2m there a week ago. He faces a few out-of-form rivals here and from just 1lb higher, he can regain the winning sequence. Socialist Agenda, who won twice on the Flat earlier this year before finishing down the field over hurdles at Worcester in June, is of interest on his return. Sophar Sogood heads the remainder.

DAARIS had been running very well in slighter better handicaps than this at Wolverhampton in recent weeks so he looks the answer. Socialist Agenda may well get back on the up following an absence returned to the AW, with Annandale also of interest.

If DAARIS can reproduce his recent Wolverhampton form he may be good for a second win of the month.

MAMBHA, a C&D winner on two of her last three starts, including when defeating Callianassa (second), is still unexposed on the all-weather. She can keep progressing and defy a subsequent 5lb rise, although it would come as no surprise were Fior Di Bosco, who has been given some time off since disappointing on her handicap bow in August, to step forward. Disclosure is noted too.

We probably haven't seen the best of FIOR DI BOSCO after just 4 runs and, given the yard she represents, an improved showing would come as no surprise. Mambha and Callianassa finished first and second in a C&D handicap recently and they head the opposition.

It could be worth giving another chance to FIOR DI BOSCO, who was below par on her handicap debut in August but has had a break.

ORANGESANDLEMONS was slowly away on her debut last month but she picked up strongly close home to fill the runner-up spot. Ed Bethell's filly will know more this time around and, with improvement on the cards, she can go one better. Hush Puppy failed to justify strong market support at Lingfield on his first start but remains of interest. Ardaddy warrants a market check.

ORANGESANDLEMONS made a very positive start to her career when runner-up over C&D a month ago and with improvement on the cards, she'll take some stopping. Hush Puppy was too green to ever really look like landing a notable gamble on debut at Lingfield 3 weeks ago but he may show a lot more this time.

Hush Puppy is seemingly well regarded but the percentage call is ORANGESANDLEMONS on the back of her encouraging C&D debut second.

MISSILE MAC didn't cut much ice in her qualifying runs, but she shaped with promise when finishing fourth on her nursery debut over 7f at Southwell recently. Eased 2lb tackling 5f for the first time, she gets the vote to land the spoils. Keats House posted a low-key effort on his nursery bow when sixth over 6f here last month, but an improved display would come as no surprise now sporting first-time cheekpieces on his first start since being gelded. Startling is noted as well.

Dual winner STARTLING brings the most solid credentials to the table and, with this stiffer track than she has encountered of late fancied to suit, all looks set fair for a big run. Missile Mac and Keats House may emerge as the lead dangers.

This is tricky but it might be worth siding with KEATS HOUSE, who looks a possible improver dropped to 5f after a gelding operation.

LERWICK fared best of those ridden prominently when finishing runner-up over this trip at Southwell when last seen and, nudged up 1lb, it would be no surprise if he were able to go one place better this time around. Dingle was a beaten favourite in a similar contest here in the summer but he warrants a second look off 2lb lower returning from a break, while the class-dropping Nikovo is also noteworthy.

LERWICK ran up to his best making his all-weather debut when finishing a good second at Southwell in October and, lightly raced this year, he's of interest operating from a 1 lb higher mark. Dingle, back from a break, and Jewel Maker are others fancied to be thereabouts, as is top-weight Nikovo.

The vote goes to dual turf winner LERWICK, who made a bold bid when runner-up on his AW debut at Southwell in October.

RHYTHM N HOOVES was making his first start since being readily outclassed in the Ayr Silver Cup when finishing an eye-catching fourth over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton earlier this month. Robert Cowell's charge was doing his best work late on that day and, back up to 6f off an unchanged mark, he looks the one to be with. True Promise was last seen finishing third in a slightly deeper race over C&D recently, and he cannot be underestimated. Mondammej is respected most of the remainder.

An open-looking sprint but MONDAMMEJ went down narrowly in pursuit of a C&D hat-trick on Tuesday and, clearly still thriving. Antony Britain's 7-y-o can regain the winning thread at the expense of Rhythm N Hooves, who got back on track in a change of headgear at Wolverhampton recently and could well build on that. Royal Pleasure was a big eye catcher on yard debut at Thirsk back in the spring, so he can edge out True Promise for third.

The return to 6f should suit RHYTHM N HOOVES who is narrowly preferred to the thriving Mondammej.

WILLIAM DEWHIRST produced a convincing display on his latest start to land a C&D double. A 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor Ben Haslam's inmate in his current frame of mind and he looks worth sticking with. King's School may prove the main threat stepping back up to 7f, while Tomorrow Day has now won four times here, though prevailed by only a neck last time.

KING'S SCHOOL rates just the pick of the weights so edges the vote in this very open-looking handicap. Hat-trick seeking William Dewhirst heads the list of dangers, with Alreet Cha, Bobby Joe Leg and Shaw Park all in the mix too. Streak Lightning completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to WILLIAM DEWHIRST (nap), who completed a C&D double in good style 12 days ago. Tomorrow Day is feared most.

JUST TYPICAL won nicely over course and distance last month and returns to this venue with every chance. The three-year-old finished a solid fourth over a longer trip at Southwell last time and is reunited with winning partner Ryan Kavanagh. Concert Boy has a bit to find with the selection but can still make his presence felt, while Filey Beach finished runner-up here in October and is not easily dismissed.

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it is worth siding with THUNDERSTORM KATIE to capitalise on a handy-looking mark now back at a more suitable trip and gain her breakthrough success. C&D scorer Concert Boy rates the pick of the rest, although the likes of Just Typical, Yaahobby and Angel of Antrim all need factoring in too.

It could be worth taking a chance on THUNDERSTORM KATIE getting off the mark on her third run for Jim Goldie.

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.

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.
