A 5lb rise in the ratings for LET'S GO JOE's victory at Doncaster last month looks more than workable and a third career triumph could be on the cards. The six-year-old has improved with each outing this year and he may be able to repel chief threat The Big Breac. The Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith-trained gelding posted his best effort under Rules when runner-up at Hexham 16 days ago, while Glengolly is also noted.

This is wide open but the vote goes to GLENGOLLY who shaped well on his stable debut when fifth at Doncaster and can build on it here off a reduced mark. Let's Go Joe, who scored at Doncaster that day, is feared most, although Geordie Night, Perculator and Star Vantage all need factoring into this very open contest too.

Let's Go Joe is feared but the stoutly bred GLENGOLLY could be a sharp improver over this longer distance.

A return to 2m should see Kingston James in a better light after failing to see out 2m4f on his last two outings. However, smart Flat performer SOLENT GATEWAY ticks plenty of the right boxes now debuting over hurdles and he may take some stopping if taking to this discipline. Maghlaak has failed to threaten on his three appearances over timber, but he may fare best of the remainder.

A fairly useful winner on the Flat, MAGHLAAK caught the eye when staying on for fourth at Sedgefield 3 weeks ago and he is taken to build on that effort to open his hurdles account. Kingston James could bounce back in a first-time hood and is feared most, ahead of hurdling-debutant Solent Gateway.

Preference is for useful Flat stayer SOLENT GATEWAY, who has been found a winnable race for his hurdle debut.

Useful Flat performer CAMPAIGN TRAIL made a seamless transition to hurdling when scoring at Doncaster last month, on what was also his first start for the Kim Bailey team. The son of Mastercraftsman wouldn't appear to have much more on his plate under a penalty here, and he can find improvement to go in again. Mr Mistoffelees was no slouch on the level either and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the betting on his NH debut, although point-to-point winner Idaho Valley might be the bigger threat.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL, a progressive stayer on the Flat, overcame a lengthy absence in tidy fashion on his Doncaster hurdling debut last month and looks to have been found a good opportunity under a penalty. Idaho and Lawrenny can battle it out for minor honours.

Three-time Flat winner CAMPAIGN TRAIL made an impressive start to his jumps career at Doncaster and can make it 2-2 in this code.

Having found only a progressive chaser too strong at Kelso earlier in the month, DARE TO SHOUT holds leading claims in this small-field affair. A 1lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold showing from Ann Hamilton's charge and compensation could be on the cards. Grand Albert made a promising chase bow when third to the highly-touted Caldwell Potter at Carlisle 26 days ago and he's feared most, ahead of The Four Sixes.

DARE TO SHOUT has improved switched to fences this season and holds solid claims as he bids to resume winning ways. Grand Albert made a decent start in this sphere when third at Carlisle and is the obvious threat stepping back up in trip.

The 6yo GRAND ALBERT ran a nice first race in this discipline and he's up to a more suitable trip for his handicap debut.

Cruden recorded a narrow win at Cork on his hurdles debut in October and he is of considerable interest now in the care of James Ewart, but HOSAAMM gets the vote. The son of Zoffany achieved a peak rating of 93 on the Flat before finishing second on his hurdling bow at Catterick earlier this month. The three-year-old ought to have learnt plenty from that experience and he is taken to go one place better. Belcamo and Fine Point are others to consider.

HOSAAMM looked in need of the experience when second starting out over hurdles at Catterick and, given his Flat ability, above-average improvement is surely forthcoming. Livano Bello is also open to progress so is second choice, ahead of Cruden, who must carry a penalty.

Fairly useful Flat racer HOSAAMM took well enough to the new discipline at Catterick to suggest he could go one better today.

Following a facile triumph over 2m1f at Kelso, PAY THE PIPER had to settle for the silver medal off his revised mark over the extended 2m3f here last month. However, this drop back in trip will suit and he is taken to record a second track-and-trip victory, possibly at the main expense of fellow course winner Parisencore, who has been running well in defeat. Harper's Brook hinted at a return to form when runner-up at Newbury last week.

Supporting HARPER'S BROOK may not be for the faint-hearted but he is nevertheless appealing having returned to form when second to an unexposed 5-y-o at Newbury last time. That was just third third run for Dan Skelton (and his first since cheekpieces were refitted, headgear in which he had performed well on two of the three previous occasions worn) and he's on a winning mark. 2022 winner Malystic will be a threat if able to bounce back, while both Pay The Piper and Parisencore have claims, too.

The consistent PAY THE PIPER (nap) won twice in the autumn and earns the vote ahead of Parisencore.

The in-form Olly Murphy takes the wraps off a couple of expensive newcomers in the shape of Drayton Flyer (56,000 pounds) and Harbour Island (70,000 euros) and they must be respected. Full Force Gale repaid some of his 60,000-pound price tag by scoring first time out at Ffos Las, but he may struggle to successfully concede 7lb to BLUE BELLAMY, who stepped up on his Rules debut when a close second at Market Rasen.

HARBOUR ISLAND and Drayton Flyer are both appealing on pedigree and represent the same connections that do well in this sphere, so they might be the pair to concentrate on, with the first name marginally preferred. Blue Bellamy has experience and should go well again.

Brian Ellison's newcomer GEORDIE MACKEM gets a tentative vote, with Blue Bellamy and Full Force Gale also considered.

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.
