3	3 (3) (5/1 +17%) Bo Zenith		5 5/1(+17%)																															(3) Bo Zenith 5/1, Promising juvenile hurdler for Gary Moore in 2022/23, winning twice and second in Grade 1 at Aintree. Good start for new yard following a 20-month absence in a Cheltenham handicap in December and, though he failed to build on that at Ascot next time, this 6-y-o could still have untapped potential. Couple of encouraging efforts since returning from lengthy absence; one to consider.
9	9 (9) (6/1 +20%) Go Dante		6 6/1(+20%)																															(9) Go Dante 6/1, Did well last term, the highlight being a narrow success in this race off 2 lb higher 12 months ago. Encouraging reappearance when fifth to Lump Sum in the Welsh Champion Hurdle in October and, though well held on his next 3 starts, he shaped as though coming back to the boil at Newbury last month. Landed this contest off 2lb higher last year (got up on line); interesting back here.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +30%) Wreckless Eric		7 7/1(+30%)																															(8) Wreckless Eric 7/1, Confirmed the promise of his reappearance when winning a competitive 2m handicap at Cheltenham in November. Another good effort at Prestbury Park when runner-up the following month and latest sixth of 14 in a valuable Windsor contest was creditable, too. Couldn't rule out. Record is 3-7; ran well on bare figures the last twice; still open to further progress.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +33%) Ooh Betty		8 8/1(+33%)																															(5) Ooh Betty 8/1, Useful mare who had a breathing operation prior to a successful reappearance over C&D in November and quickly back on track to double her tally for the season at Kempton during the Christmas period. Latest third in an Ascot Grade 2 was no backward step and she's not without each-way hope. Largely consistent mare who has won over C&D; ran creditably in Grade 2 most recently.
12	12 (12) (8/1 +33%) Afadil		8 8/1(+33%)																															(12) Afadil 8/1, Winner of the Scottish County Hurdle at Musselburgh last term and returned to form when runner-up in this season's renewal of that handicap. Remains on an attractive mark and of strong interest for top yard, which has saddled the winner of this twice during the last 5 years. Attractively handicapped; yard landed this prize in 2019 and 2023; commands respect.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -7%) Lump Sum		8 8/1(-7%)																															(1) Lump Sum 8/1, Grade 2 novice hurdle winner last season and improved again to make a winning return in the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las in October. Runner-up on 2 of his 3 subsequent starts, including in a valuable 17-runner Newbury handicap (16.3f, soft) last month, and he has to enter calculations. Largely progressive; good second in major handicap at Newbury last time; strong claims.
10	10 (10) (11/1 -38%) Spirits Bay		11 11/1(-38%)																															(10) Spirits Bay 11/1, Did little wrong last season and has acquitted himself well all 3 starts since returning to action in December, finishing third to Constitution Hill in the International Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft) last time. Solid each-way chance back in handicap company. Ran well at the weights in Grade 2 most recently; interesting off unaltered mark.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -14%) Knickerbockerglory		16 16/1(-14%)																															(2) Knickerbockerglory 16/1, Enhanced fine record when fresh by landing a heavy-ground C&D handicap on return in December, proving 8 lengths too strong for multiple subsequent winner Nemean Lion. Had 3 of these behind when a cracking third off this 7 lb higher mark when going for a big pot at Windsor next time. Each-way shout. Has a career-high mark to overcome in this third Imperial Cup attempt.
15	15 (15) (16/1 +36%) Sorceleur		16 16/1(+36%)																															(15) Sorceleur 16/1, Progressive hurdler who landed good-ground novices at Exeter and Wincanton on successive days in November. Runner-up next 2 starts but safely held when third off a similar mark at Newbury last weekend and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Afadil. Generally consistent but needs to improve on latest piece of form.
7	7 (7) (18/1 -29%) To Chase A Dream		18 18/1(-29%)																															(7) To Chase A Dream 18/1, Consistent type who completed the hat-trick when cosily seeing off Hardy du Seuil and 6 others at Carlisle (17f, soft) in December. Hasn't done much wrong in handicaps at Cheltenham and Doncaster since but it could be that he's now a shade too high in the weights. Latest effort took his hurdles record to 222211142; each-way possibilities.
11	11 (11) (18/1 +28%) Tintintin		18 18/1(+28%)																															(11) Tintintin 18/1, Made good strides forward last season, typically proving strong at the finish to land a big-field handicap over 16.8f at Cheltenham in April. Has shaped well on a couple of occasions during present campaign but this demands a clear career-best. Has made the frame in two major handicaps this term; each-way squeak.
6	6 (6) (18/1 +36%) Hardy Du Seuil		18 18/1(+36%)																															(6) Hardy Du Seuil 18/1, Returned as good as ever over hurdles when runner-up at Carlisle in December and, back up in grade, he again ran well when fifth of 14 at Windsor (2m, good to soft) in January. However, he was mid-field in the 2023 renewal of this and a similar scenario is likely this time round. Has won over C&D but came up short in this race two years ago; now 1lb higher.
16	16 (16) (22/1 -22%) We're Red And Blue		22 22/1(-22%)																															(16) We're Red And Blue 22/1, Bumper winner last term and, save for a poor handicap debut display at Ascot in December, he hasn't done much wrong since switched to hurdles, landing novice events at Carlisle and Warwick either side of that Ascot debacle. However, this demands a significant step forward. Last three runs include two wins; upped sharply in class but is unexposed.
4	4 (4) (22/1 -175%) Batman Girac		22 22/1(-175%)																															(4) Batman Girac 22/1, French recruit who has yet to strike for this yard but he's on a workable mark judged on some pieces of form, including on latest start when coming down at the final flight in a major handicap at Leopardstown (2m, good to soft) where he was staying on well at the time. Merits respect. Was in the process of running well when final-flight faller at Leopardstown; in the mix.
13	13 (13) (25/1 -25%) King William Rufus		25 25/1(-25%)																															(13) King William Rufus 25/1, Likeable front-runner who put an end to a frustrating run of seconds when the dominant winner of what had looked a competitive contest at Ascot (2m, good to soft) in December. By no means disgraced in a major Newbury handicap last time but more will be needed if he's to emerge on top here. Held by Lump Sum on Newbury running and may need a drop back in class.
17	17 (17) (28/1 -40%) Big Ginge		28 28/1(-40%)																															(17) Big Ginge 28/1, Free-going sort who showed plenty of ability in bumpers last term and similar story in finishing runner-up all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles this winter. On the downside, it was disappointing that he failed to land the odds at Bangor last time and faces an uphill task on this handicap debut. Maiden who has some good pieces of form; could show progress now handicapping.
14	14 (14) (66/1 +0%) Tapley		66 66/1(+0%)																															(14) Tapley 66/1, Took advantage of a drop in class at Plumpton (2m, soft) in October but he has struggled since, both in this sphere and over fences, and others make more appeal. Far from solid judged on form since last win; opposed.

14:25 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

LUMP SUM has encountered high-class or progressive rivals in his most recent starts and victory in an event such as this wouldn't be coming out of turn. Having had last year's winner, Go Dante, a long way behind when second in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury last month, there is a lot to like despite the burden of top-weigtht. Wreckless Eric and Bo Zenith are closely matched based on their encounter at Cheltenham in December and are capable of being on the premises. Knickerbockerglory has improved since finishing fifth in this 12 months ago and also has each-way appeal.

The answer to this pre-Cheltenham Festival puzzle could be AFADIL, who is 8 lb lower compared to when finishing fifth in the County Hurdle at last season's Festival and he arrives here on the back of a solid effort in the Scottish equivalent of that valuable handicap at Musselburgh. Go Dante is also on a good mark (now 2 lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago) and he is feared most ahead of Spirits Bay, while cases can also be made for the likes of Batman Girac, Bo Zenith and Lump Sum.

Preference is for AFADIL (nap), an attractively treated contender who does well in the spring. Go Dante is second choice.

4	4 (4) (7/4 +22%) Charisma Cat		1.75 7/4(+22%)																															(4) Charisma Cat 7/4, Looked a good prospect when going 2-2 in bumpers at Southwell and Warwick 6 months apart. Posted a good neck second of 10 in listed bumper at Market Rasen last time, just failing under a patient ride. The form choice. Unlucky in Listed grade at Market Rasen last time; 2-2 previously; remains of interest.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +31%) Dream Shadow		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(5) Dream Shadow 11/4, Irish point winner and scored in this sphere at Uttoxeter in October. Good third of 10 in listed bumper at Market Rasen 50 days ago. Very much one to consider. Ties in with Charisma Cat on Market Rasen running last time; enters calculations.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +11%) Supreme Malinas		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) Supreme Malinas 4/1, Irish point winner who landed listed bumper at Huntingdon in December. Recorded a solid third in Windsor bumper in January so she must enter calculations for top yard. Listed scorer on penultimate start; represents last year's winning connections; solid.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +0%) A Path To Ronda		8 8/1(+0%)																															(2) A Path To Ronda 8/1, 16/1, made a winning start in 13-runner bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 67 days ago. This half-sister to the high-class hurdler/top-class chaser Simonsig is open to improvement. Likely player. Nicely bred mare; scored comfortably at Uttoxeter; brings potential to this better race.
9	9 (9) (16/1 -33%) Philippa's Choice		16 16/1(-33%)																															(9) Philippa's Choice 16/1, Built on debut promise when landing 8-runner bumper at Huntingdon 44 days ago, always holding on. May do better still so she can make her presence felt. Solid effort on rules debut; still green but won at Huntingdon since; possibilities.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -29%) Easy Love		18 18/1(-29%)																															(6) Easy Love 18/1, Cost €80,000 after winning an Irish point and 10-runner bumper at Plumpton (17.8f) in December. Can improve further so not ruled out. Won at Plumpton last time; this is harder but further progress is possible.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +60%) Gower Spirit		20 20/1(+60%)																															(7) Gower Spirit 20/1, Yorgunnabelucky mare. Sister to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chase winner Lucky Zebo. Market can guide for this newcomer. Sibling to four winners; sole newcomer in the field and it looks a difficult task.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -52%) Madame La Papillon		50 50/1(-52%)																															(8) Madame La Papillon 50/1, Made a winning bumper debut at Huntingdon last spring and not disgraced after 11 months off when fifth of 13 in similar company at Warwick 28 days ago. Possibilities. Has shown ability in two races but is held by Roses All The Way on latest effort.
3	3 (3) (66/1 +0%) Celtic Queen		66 66/1(+0%)																															(3) Celtic Queen 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden, posting her best effort when tongue tied and third of 9 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, soft) 35 days ago, clear of rest. This demands more though. Placed in two of her three outings; faces a stiffer assignment upped in class.

15:00 Sandown NH Flat Race (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

CHARISMA CAT lost her unbeaten record when second in a Listed bumper at Market Rasen most recently. A troubled passage proved costly that day, as she was beaten only a neck and Alan King's progressive mare is taken to resume winning ways. Dream Shadow finished third on that occasion and is likely to prove competitive once again, while Supreme Malinas had the measure of Roses All The Way when successful at Huntingdon in December and is worthy of consideration on that form.

CHARISMA CAT went down only narrowly at Market Rasen last time having been patiently ridden and is taken to quickly resume winning ways and go 3-4. Dream Shadow came in a place behind Alan King's mare that day and rates the main danger, although the unexposed Uttoxeter scorer A Path To Ronda could also have a say along with Supreme Malinas and Roses All The Way.

Leading form contender CHARISMA CAT is taken to gain compensation for her unlucky defeat last time. Dream Shadow is second pick.

4	4 (4) (9/4 +32%) Hoe Joly Smoke		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(4) Hoe Joly Smoke 9/4, Point winner who confirmed chase debut promise when scoring over C&D (good to soft) on penultimate start. Ultimately disappointing at Newbury next time (travelled notably well before finding little at the business end) but there was an excuse (reportedly bled) and he's worth another chance. Well beaten at Newbury latest but progressive previously; could bounce back with bold show.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +33%) Goshen		4 4/1(+33%)																															(1) Goshen 4/1, Very smart hurdler at his best. Opened chase account at third attempt on final run at Exeter last term and, following a couple of spins over the smaller obstacles, he wasn't disgraced back in this sphere at Ascot (23.8f, good) 3 weeks ago. Needs considering down 3 lb in this lower-grade handicap. Somewhat mercurial but he's run pretty well the last twice; drops in grade & likes it here.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +43%) Excello		4 4/1(+43%)																															(2) Excello 4/1, French import who showed useful form when winning a 21f Ascot graduation chase last winter. Placed in 3 novices back hurdling this winter but safely held in an Exeter handicap in that sphere on latest start and he's opposable now returned to fences Not at his best over hurdles this term but chasing seems his preferred discipline; chance.
5	5 (5) (9/2 -80%) Dreaming Blue		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(5) Dreaming Blue 9/2, Resumed winning ways at Ludlow in December and has backed that up with creditable efforts in defeat at Kempton and over this C&D the last twice. Drying ground no bad thing for this 8-y-o and he should be in the thick of things once again. Three wins last year and good second over C&D last time; solid claims.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +42%) Hubrisko		7 7/1(+42%)																															(3) Hubrisko 7/1, Useful chaser at best for Willie Mullins and bettered what he showed on first 2 starts for this yard when fourth in a 6-runner Musselburgh handicap (23.6f, good to soft) last time. Down another 2 lb and he's of interest here for his burgeoning, in-form yard. Needs to build on his fair Musselburgh fourth but that's possible.
6	6 (6) (9/1 -64%) Java Point		9 9/1(-64%)																															(6) Java Point 9/1, Largely consistent sort who made a bright start to this season when runner-up at Cheltenham in November. By no means disgraced in a valuable handicap at the same course next time but rather blotted his copybook when pulled up at Ascot on his latest start. Pulled up at Ascot last time but in higher grade; won over C&D last February; interesting.

15:35 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

GOSHEN arrives on the back of a respectable fifth in a competitive handicap at Ascot and a similar effort should see the nine-year-old feature here, given he was winning off a higher mark at this time last year. Hoe Joly Smoke scored over course and distance in December and can make his presence felt despite a 7lb higher rating, while Dreaming Blue is another to consider having finished a creditable runner-up over these fences last month.

HOE JOLY SMOKE has been given a short break following his below par display at Newbury and, if over whatever caused him to check out so tamely on that occasion, he may well resume winning ways having scored in good style here on his penultimate start. Dreaming Blue lost little caste in defeat when second to a bang in-form rival on deep ground over C&D last time and he is a much-respected main danger. Goshen is best of the rest.

The return to Sandown and drop back down in grade could prompt a revival from C&D winner JAVA POINT. Dreaming Blue is feared most.

7	7 (7) (13/8 +68%) Walks Like The Man		1.625 13/8(+68%)																															(7) Walks Like The Man 13/8, Bettered low-key chase/yard debut when fourth to New Order at Warwick on penultimate start. Progressed again when scoring from the front at Plumpton (19.8f, soft) last time and while more will be needed up 4 lb in this stronger race, he could have more to offer in this sphere. Won at Plumpton last month; back up in grade but remains open to further improvement.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +11%) Don't Tell Su		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Don't Tell Su 4/1, Bumper winner and, having placed on first 3 starts over hurdles last term, he landed the odds in a Wincanton maiden last March. Thereabouts all 4 subsequent appearances and this 7-y-o will be a threat if taking to fences at the first attempt. Consistent over hurdles and top trainer's horses often make better chasers; respected.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +38%) Georgi Girl		5 5/1(+38%)																															(1) Georgi Girl 5/1, Proved better than ever when scoring readily in a handicap hurdle at Warwick in November. Lacked fluency sent chasing in a listed contest at Exeter (17.5f, soft) last month and while she should come on for that, a far more assured round of jumping will be required round here. Ran respectably when facing tough task on chase debut; could improve now back up in trip.
3	3 (3) (11/2 -144%) Coco Mademoiselle		5.5 11/2(-144%)																															(3) Coco Mademoiselle 11/2, Winning Irish pointer who also scored twice over hurdles last term. Resumed with a near-miss on chase debut at Worcester in September and off for almost 3 months prior to finishing sixth of 13 in a mares' handicap at Cheltenham. Will be a big player if fully tuned-up back from a similar break here. Went close on chase debut at Worcester; didn't build on it at Cheltenham but not ruled out.
5	5 (5) (7/1 -56%) New Order		7 7/1(-56%)																															(5) New Order 7/1, Opened chase account following a wind op at Warwick in December and proved his subsequent Newbury capitulation to be too bad to be true when narrowly prevailing at Wetherby (19.4f, heavy) last time. 3 lb rise fair enough and he's a key player. 7yo who is on the up and has won 2 of his last 3 starts; could play another leading role.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +36%) Hurricane Bay		16 16/1(+36%)																															(2) Hurricane Bay 16/1, Dual hurdles winner but has offered little in 2 starts since switched to fences, including on his comeback run following 16 months off in the Wetherby handicap won by New Order. Pulled up last month after absence but well treated on his 2022-23 novice hurdle form.

16:10 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with COCO MADEMOISELLE, but it may pay to do so. Dan Skelton's mare was last seen finishing a below-par sixth in a warm Cheltenham handicap over an extended 2m4f, but she was in fine form prior to that and retains plenty of potential over fences. Walks Like The Man did it well when making all over 2m3f at Plumpton last month and commands respect off 4lb higher, while fellow last-time-out winner New Order completes the shortlist.

COCO MADEMOISELLE is probably capable of a good deal better than her current mark implies and she is taken to make it third time lucky over fences. If Don't Tell Su's jumping passes the test now tackling the larger obstacles he will be a threat, while last-time-out winners New Order and Walks Like The Man also enter the reckoning.

Four-time hurdle winner GEORGI GIRL was a promising third on her chase debut last month and earns the vote now back up in trip.

7	7 (7) (2/1 +56%) Classic Anthem		2 2/1(+56%)																															(7) Classic Anthem 2/1, Expensive point recruit who tasted success over hurdles here and solid start over larger obstacles, finding only one too good for third time in a C&D handicap 23 days ago. Of interest having eased 1 lb ahead of this. Ran close to best when runner-up over C&D in February; solid claims once more.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +52%) Triple Trade		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(6) Triple Trade 10/3, 4-time winner over fences who bettered previous exploits this season tried tongue tied when second of 10 in handicap chase at Kempton (20.5f) 4 weeks ago, sticking at it behind one enjoying a fine season. Definitely worth a second look from this mark. Good second at Kempton; well treated on pick of last term's form; more appealing than most.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +8%) Issar D'airy		6 6/1(+8%)																															(1) Issar D'airy 6/1, Dual Newbury winner at around 2m last winter who matched reappearance form in first-time cheekpieces when second at Cheltenham (16.3f) in December. Weakened out of things when fourth in handicap at Kempton (20.5f) 4 weeks ago but boasts winning form at this trip and likely to bounce back. Followed good Cheltenham second by fading at Kempton; possibilities if bouncing back.
2	2 (2) (13/2 -117%) Theformismighty		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(2) Theformismighty 13/2, Hurdles winner who, as anticipated has improved for switch to chasing, opening account equipped with cheekpieces in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in December. Below best next time but quickly back on the up when chasing home another improver at Wetherby (19.4f) 24 days ago. Considered. Hit new high when beaten head at Wetherby last month; improving and high on the list.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +27%) No Tackle		8 8/1(+27%)																															(9) No Tackle 8/1, Hurdles/chase scorer who went with more zest in change of headgear when a convincing winner of 6-runner Leicester handicap chase (22.7f) 23 days ago. However, strength of that form is dubious and this a much taller ask up in class. Leicester win came in weakish race; will find this tougher off revised mark.
3	3 (3) (10/1 -82%) Fire Flyer		10 10/1(-82%)																															(3) Fire Flyer 10/1, Dual novice hurdle winner at up to 19f last winter. Didn't kick on in handicaps but sound start in this sphere when runner-up in novices' handicap at Exeter (17.5f) in December. Reportedly bled when pulled up at Kempton on Boxing Day and too soon to be writing him off. Pulled up (bled) at Kempton on Boxing Day and has something to prove.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -43%) Xcitations		10 10/1(-43%)																															(5) Xcitations 10/1, 10-y-o who loves it around here, capitalising on his reduced mark as he took his course record to 3 wins from 4 starts in 4-runner handicap chase (15.5f) 23 days ago. Nudged up only 2 lb on back of that but he does tend to do most of his running at the minimum trip nowadays. 3-4 here, latest win coming three weeks ago; stamina a possible issue beyond 2m.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +20%) Mint Gold		16 16/1(+20%)																															(8) Mint Gold 16/1, Veteran chaser who resumed with a good third at Carlisle (2m) in October. Not disgraced in form terms without going with much zest both starts at around 2m since and percentage call to look elsewhere now returning to this longer trip. No obvious excuses at Musselburgh last month and others are preferred.

16:45 Sandown Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

XCITATIONS responded well to the application of cheekpieces when scoring over 2m here last month and, upped 2lb stepping back up in trip, he gets the vote to bring up a course double. Theformismighty just failed to get up when second over an extended 2m3f at Wetherby last time and he looks the main danger to the selection off 2lb higher. Triple Trade is becoming attractively handicapped and could also go well.

CLASSIC ANTHEM lines up having again run well when a staying-on second in a C&D handicap 23 days ago, in the process leaving the impression a switch to more forcing tactics would see him in an even better light. He's of interest again from this mark and earns the vote. Triple Trade and Theformismighty may be the pair to give him most to think about in the finale.

Theformismighty is feared but preference is for the well-handicapped TRIPLE TRADE after a more encouraging effort last time.
