SIGN AGAIN had plenty in hand when winning by 19 lengths at Plumpton last month and Charlie Longsdon's gelding is very hard to oppose on the back of that performance. The main threat is clearly Pigeon House, who hit the crossbar at Hereford a couple of weeks ago. The rest all have questions to answer, but Monteplex is the pick of them.

A potential match between penalised-winners PIGEON HOUSE and Sign Again, the former taken to resume winning ways.

This looks between Pigeon House and SIGN AGAIN, with preference for Charlie Longsdon's runner, who won well on hurdle debut

BLACKWATER LILLY arrives here on the back of another second on her hurdling debut at Newcastle a month ago and Brian Ellison's filly appears to have been found an ideal opportunity to go one better. Paddys Policy was third to a useful rival over C&D last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Broderick completes the shortlist.

BLACKWATER LILLY was unlucky not to make a winning debut in this sphere at Newcastle and is fancied to make amends. Broderick and Paddys Policy both have potential and can fill the places.

The one who makes most appeal is BLACKWATER LILLY, who showed enough on her hurdle debut at Newcastle to suggest she's the one to beat.

FEARLESS ACTION failed to fire at Hexham last time but the eight-year-old could be hard to beat in this company if a first-time visor sparks a return to form. I'm Too Tired has made the frame on his last couple of starts and could make his presence felt once again, while Flash Du Pistolet is another with valid form claims in an open event.

I'M TOO TIRED offered something to work on when third on chase debut at Musselburgh so could be the answer in a weak race. Chase/handicap debutant Wild Grouse may emerge as the biggest threat.

This can go to I'M TOO TIRED, whose best hurdle form was at this venue and who shaped encouragingly on his chase debut last time.

Not the deepest contest despite a healthy field size, and preference is for MISS APPLEJACK. Charlie Longsdon's mare benefitted from a drop in trip and the application of first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie (retained) when on target at Southwell earlier this month. She pulled well clear with the runner-up that day, so a subsequent 8lb rise might not be as harsh as it may seem. Market support for handicap debutant Hill Of Scarriff would be noteworthy, while others to consider include Mr Sundancer and Knacker Trapper.

KNACKER TRAPPER was in a higher grade than necessary when fifth here last time and remains of interest back in calmer waters. Hill of Scarriff looks the type who will improve now switched to handicaps so is feared most ahead of Miss Applejack and Achnamara.

The suggestion is POWEROFJET, who has only hinted at ability over hurdles but he should do better up in trip on second handicap run.

YEALAND made the perfect start to life over fences when winning at Doncaster recently and with plenty of scope for improvement, he can defy a 4lb rise en route to further success. The Paddy Pie was a comfortable winner over 2m5f here last time out and the veteran ought to be a real threat from a 5lb raised mark. Kaproyale heads the remainder.

YEALAND stepped up on his hurdles form at the first attempt when making a winning debut in this sphere with a bit in hand at Doncaster 2 weeks ago and looks capable of defying a 4 lb rise with further improvement forthcoming, Kaproyale looks on a handy mark back in a handicap so is next best ahead of the veteran The Paddy Pie.

A chance is taken with LE JEUNE BRESIL, who pulled up when last seen but he's a point winner who may do better now he goes chasing

SALSADA put a Wetherby no-show behind her when comfortably accounting for Punxsutawney Phil over C&D and can confirm that superiority on only 2lb worse terms. The runner-up has since gone one better at Musselburgh, although the biggest threat here could come in the shape of Foster's Fortune, who has been progressing really well over shorter. Harper Valley had to settle for third as favourite behind the selection last time, but it would come as no surprise if he at least closed the gap.

This can go to SALSADA who travelled powerfully when scoring over C&D in similar conditions 30 days ago, and judging by the manner of her victory, a 7 lb rise may not be enough to stop her. Foster's Fortune is a standout danger. He loves it here and should relish the step up in trip, although his latest win did come on ground much slower than he will encounter today. It would not be a surprise to see C&D winner Harper Valley run well either.

The one who appeals most is FOSTER'S FORTUNE (nap) who turned in his best effort here last time and this longer trip can suit.

Lady Kluck cost 75,000 pounds after winning between the flags and built on a satisfactory Ludlow third to break through over C&D. She has obvious claims but will do well to successfully concede weight to KINGSTON QUEEN, who also struck on her sole appearance between the flags and has shaped like an imminent winner when making the frame at Chepstow and Plumpton. Nicky Richards' team is flying so 70,000-euro Authorized filly La Zoubida is worth keeping a close eye on.

KINGSTON QUEEN can make it third time lucky under Rules, following two encouraging efforts since joining this yard. Both Lady Kluck and Arctic Duchess have made the running and could set this race up for the selection, the former is respected having already scored over C&D, while the latter can build on a pleasing debut.

Kingston Queen looks the pick of those with experience but it could be worth chancing LA ZOUBIDA, whose yard does well in bumpers

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.
