GO TO WAR made the ideal start to his career when scoring in a bumper at this track last October before taking his chance in the Grade 2 at Aintree in the spring. He wasn't disgraced in finishing eighth on that occasion and the five-year-old gets the vote on his hurdling bow. Goodwin displayed promise in a couple of bumper outings, winning on the second occasion at Fontwell, and he is likely to pose a solid threat, along with Macanogue, who has winning form over timber in Ireland.

GO TO WAR is bred to be suited by longer trips, but he certainly didn't look slow when seeing off a subsequent winner in a C&D bumper on his debut, so he's selected to make a successful start over hurdles for his red-hot stable. Fellow bumper winner Goodwin is another interesting hurdling newcomer, while Damarta remains with potential having still looked notably raw on his recent return at Newton Abbot.

Preference is for GO TO WAR, who beat a talented horse here on his bumper debut before a respectable effort in a Grade 2 at Aintree.

This appears to be the weaker of the two divisions with the tentative vote going to HAVOCK. The five-year-old shaped with some promise when fourth on his penultimate start at Warwick on New Year's Eve and a repeat of that display might prove to be enough. Toonagh Warrior is respected on his debut for Stuart Edmunds having placed on his hurdles debut at Kilbeggan last month. Others to note include Ballynaheer and Chantilly Rose.

A few with chances and the market could prove highly revealing. Ex-Irish TOONAGH WARRIOR holds the edge on form so gets the vote on his debut for Stuart Edmunds ahead of Dan Skelton's hurdling newcomer Havock. Olly Murphy's debutant Bitsnbuckles is another who could have a say in an open-looking contest.

If HAVOCK can tap into the promise he showed in his second bumper then he could take the beating in a weak race.

ESPOIR DE ROMAY was last seen finishing third over C&D in May and the nine-year-old, who arrives following a wind operation, appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get his head in front for the first time since March 2021, especially given his appreciation for testing conditions. Martha Brae was hugely consistent last season and she is likely to enter calculations once again. Ballydisco and Conkwell Legend appeal most of the remainder.

BALLYDISCO showed improved form in line with the longer trip switched to handicaps last term, producing a career-best display when doubling his career tally at Chepstow in April. The type to potentially do better still, he could be worth siding with on seasonal bow. Conkwell Legend and Espoir de Romay can emerge as the chief threats in a competitive affair.

Kim Bailey's ESPOIR DE ROMAY could have the class to defy top weight. He won his next race after his previous wind operation.

Emitom made a perfect start to life with Alan King when landing the spoils at Newbury in March and he is likely to prove popular on his return to action. A 5lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable for the Gold Well gelding, but it may be worth taking a chance on fellow seasonal debutant BEAR GHYLLS. The handicapper has relinquished his grip on the eight-year-old and a wind procedure may unlock some improvement. Dolphin Square is another to note off an attractive rating.

EMITOM has tumbled in the weights and was evidently perked up by a yard switch when resuming winning ways at Newbury (24.2f) back in March. Remaining with plenty of handicapping scope on old form, he's fancied to make a bold bid on return. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in very good order and his Equinus is feared on return, with Dophin Square another to note given his particularly good record fresh.

All five are feasible winners off their current marks. EQUINUS (nap) is a second-season hurdler on a good mark and his yard is bouncing.

JUST OVER LAND appeared too keen to see out the extended 2m3f distance when pulling up on his handicap debut at Chepstow in April. The Sam Thomas-trained inmate is expected to prove more competitive now returned to 2m and a breakthrough success could be in the offing for a yard in flying form. Lelant's opening mark looks workable judged on his runner-up effort at Ffos Las in March and he is feared most, ahead of Kapamazov, who should enjoy ground conditions.

JUST OVER LAND failed to meet expectations on his handicap bow at Chepstow in April but he's worth another chance given his overall profile. Lelant was also progressive prior to his last run so could well bounce back now handicapping.

Sam Thomas won with all his three runners at last week's Chepstow meeting and JUST OVER LAND is interesting in his second handicap.

Betty's Tiara drew 19 lengths clear with the runner-up when scoring by half a length on her debut in a bumper at Stratford in August and, despite shouldering a 7lb penalty, she merits the utmost respect in her follow-up bid. Preference, however, is for the Dan Skelton-trained LADY JAGO, who was a winner on her sole 3m point-to-point outing in April and the four-year-old possesses enough speed in her pedigree to suggest that she could land a race of this nature. Giver The Hollie and Chase Park are also worth a second look.

LADY JAGO has joined a powerful yard since landing an Irish point and this looks like a good starting point, so she's preferred to Betty's Tiara, who made a successful start at Stratford 50 days ago. Giver The Hollie, another one who has shown form between the flags, is also worthy of consideration.

A chance is taken on EASY TO FOLLOW, who coped well with testing conditions when competitive in all her Irish points.

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.
