JACK THE FARMER benefitted from a step up in trip when second at Warwick last time, he has been put up 4lb but that may not be enough to stop him here. Dancingontheedge tries a tongue-tie for the first time looking to recapture the level of her second in March and she could also go well, leaving Hurricane Vichi as an interesting alternative after his wind-operation.

The vote goes to JACK THE FARMER, who pulled clear of the rest when second upped to 25f at Warwick recently and he could have more to offer over this sort of trip. Eaton Lady is next on the list on the back of an improved effort at Ludlow, while Hurricane Vichi is also shortlisted.

In good form for his new stable this spring, JACK THE FARMER went down fighting and was clear of the others when second at Warwick.

Midnight Soldier is interesting on his first start for a new trainer after an easy bumper win at Fontwell in June 2021, but expecting a winning return after such a long absence may be asking too much. LOOKAWAY seems the more sensible option after an easy maiden hurdle win here over shorter, which followed fair efforts in much better races. Morning Line also warrants a mention for his powerful connections, though he does need to show more to have any say.

LOOKAWAY doesn't look like living up to his bumper promise over hurdles but he opened his account in ready fashion at this venue 2 weeks ago and should prove hard to beat under a penalty. Midnight Soldier hasn't been seen since winning his sole bumper start for Christian Williams nearly 2 years ago but the booking of Harry Cobden suggests a good run is expected on hurdle debut.

This looks good for recent course winner LOOKAWAY who has always had some class about him.

Bothwell Bridge is tried in first-time cheekpieces for a stable in form and, if they rekindle his enthusiasm, he is well-handicapped, although he has failed to complete on his last four starts over fences. Hawk's Well has won two of his three starts since going chasing and clearly has plenty of ability. That said, SILVER IN DISGUISE would probably have won the Highland National last time barring a mistake two out, and another 5lb rise may not stop him here.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and SILVER IN DISGUISE is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having blundered 2 out when a very good runner-up at Perth last time. In-form Cap du Nord is feared most now back in distance having not got home in the Scottish National, while Stormy Flight is another who can have a say provided he is none the worse for his Chepstow mishap.

After two very creditable runs at Cheltenham towards the end of last season, RISK AND ROLL is taken to exploit today's ease in grade.

TWIG only found one too strong in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month and he could capitalise off what looks a fair mark in this sphere. Although not the most reliable, Regarding Ruth bounced back to form when winning at Warwick in April and she shouldn't be underestimated off only 3lb higher in the ratings. Uhtred looks worth another go over this stiffer test having done his best work at the finish over an extended 2m5f at Ayr recently and also enters calculations.

UHTRED is unproven at this trip, but he looks ready to strike based on his fast-finishing third at Ayr 4 weeks ago, so receives the vote. Espoir de Romay and Twig head the opposition.

The vote goes to UHTRED who had tumbled in the weights prior to third at Ayr last month when shaping as if this longer trip would suit.

MILTIADES offered plenty of encouragement when third on his chase debut at Stratford last month and a further 1lb ease in the handicap may be enough for Henry Daly's gelding to gain a first success. Harry Du Berlais wasn't disgraced at Warwick last time and first-time cheekpieces could eke out some improvement. Do It For Thy Sen is now 4lb lower than his Southwell triumph last May and is dangerous to rule out.

While DO IT FOR THY SEN's handful of appearances during the winter didn't amount to much, this is the time of year that he tends to show his best. Indeed, all 3 of his previous wins under Rules (and his maiden point success) were gained during the month of May and he is very appealing off this reduced mark with conditions in his favour. Forget You Not is second choice but Miltiades could also have a major say if backing up his soft-ground chase debut third at Stratford on this faster surface.

Preference is for DOGEM BY DESIGN, who had excuses last time and is better judged on his Catterick second in February.

GETAMAN returned from a break to show improved form to fill the runner-up spot at Warwick over fences recently, when only beaten just over a length. He now switches to the smaller obstacles, which sees him race off a 10lb lower mark than his chase rating. Last-time-out winner Governor Green has to be respected, while Enthused and Getaway Tom complete the shortlist.

GETAMAN returned to action with a solid second in a handicap chase at Warwick where he pulled well clear of the rest and, if able to reproduce form akin to that back over hurdles off a 7 lb lower mark, he will surely go close. Next on the list is Getaway Tom, who shaped as though dropping back to this trip would be in his favour when fifth at Exeter. Governor Green, who did the job well at Bangor last month, and handicap-debutant Imperial Sun are others to consider.

The vote goes to the lightly raced 6yo GOVERNOR GREEN (nap), who came good with a clearcut win at Bangor and is open to more progress.

CAN'T BEAT HISTORY showed up well last time at Southwell over 3m when fading into a respectable fifth, and he now takes a step back down in distance off a 1lb lower mark. In addition, that was only his fifth start over hurdles, so is likely to have more to come. Lighthouse Mill was beaten under a length in this grade last time and has been raised 2lb, which may keep him in contention. Boomtime Banker and Kilbrainy aren't ruled out either.

A few in with chances but CAN'T BEAT HISTORY has shaped up well on both outings in handicaps so, provided he can settle a touch better back down in trip, Henry Oliver's charge is selected to open his account. Boomtime Banker won both her starts last season and she may well emerge as the main danger if ready to roll after 8 months off, with Rock On Tommy and Lighthouse Mill others worth considering.

Preference is for CAN'T BEAT HISTORY, who looked stretched over 3m last time and could resume his progress back at this trip.

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.

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.
