MISS GOLDFIRE built on a string of creditable efforts in handicaps when returning to novice company and scoring at Fontwell last month. The six-year-old is capable of further progression with the extra furlong unlikely to be an issue. Leader Wing was beaten less than a length into fourth at Kelso over 3m2f and is likely to go well dropping in trip. Others to note are Stylia and Chatshow Host.

The confidence boost of her novice win may enable MISS GOLDFIRE to kick on now, ahead of last year's second Tis But A Scratch.

WALK ON HIGH brings a solid level of form to proceedings and a 7lb penalty for his first victory at Newton Abbot shouldn't be enough to stop Harry Fry's gelding from following up. Ilestdancingspirit returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines to be denied by a neck at Market Rasen in March and he should go well, while his stable companion Knightsbridge warrants a market check.

Take close Market Rasen second ILESTDANCINGSPIRIT to capitalise if the penalty and/or going compromise Walk On High sufficiently.

EARTH CRY progressed well over timber and returned from a break with a solid first attempt over the larger obstacles at Ffos Las. Neil Mulholland's charge is more than entitled to step forward from that effort and gets the vote ahead of Muskoka, who sports cheekpieces for the first time following a productive campaign in recent months. Heroique De Maulde and Champagnesuperover can have a say too.

Neil Mulholland's EARTH CRY (nap) enjoys this good ground and can improve on his solid first effort over fences.

Wa Wa won over a longer trip at Perth on only his third start for Olly Murphy's yard and another good effort looks assured. West To The Bridge faced a tougher task here a fortnight ago, having won at Wetherby before that and he could get also get involved. However, FARNOGE reverts to hurdling on his return from a break and handicap debut, and Paul Nicholls' charge gets the nod on the evidence of his third in a Listed contest over timber at Perth last April.

Very little went right for FARNOGE during last season's truncated chasing campaign but he may fare better now back over hurdles.

ISHOLO DU VIVIEN separated a couple of subsequent winners when finishing runner-up at Stratford in September. That looks the strongest form on offer and Donald McCain's charge is taken to go one better on his return to action. Special Dragon finished a creditable third at Haydock last month considering she failed to get a clear run. The six-year-old can confirm running with Kings Justice, who finished fourth and may prove best of the rest.

Special Dragon is unexposed but a chance is taken that the well-handicapped SHADOWS IN THE SKY is revived by a change of scenery.

Having been successful over 2m3f at Warwick last month, dropping in trip proved to be no issue for HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE, who was able to follow up over C&D a fortnight ago. An 8lb rise might not be beyond the son of Sageburg now that he has found the winning groove, and he's preferred to the consistent Maple. Portcammon enters handicaps with cheekpieces applied for the first time and market support would be noteworthy.

With Highway One O Five having nothing in hand of his mark, handicap debutant PORTCAMMON may be able to deny him the hat-trick.

Present Fair was able to take advantage of a sliding handicap mark when successful at Bangor last time out but although respected from 4lb higher, it is MONTANA GOLDEN that shades preference. Down the field on soft ground at Wetherby in January, he was sent off as favourite, but disappointed, when returning from a 78-day absence over 3m1f at Huntingdon last month. He travelled well for a long way, though, and perhaps he can repay that faith now dropped in trip. Rock On Tommy could also have a say.

Down another 5lb and upped to a potentially suitable new trip, WHISPERING ROYAL is narrowly preferred to Montana Golden.

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.
