Deteriorating ground conditions might have been the undoing of COUNTRY LADY when third at this venue in December. Back on a sounder surface, and pitched into a handicap for the first time, it would come as no surprise were Paul Nicholls' mare to take a step forward today. Tribesmans Glory kept on at the one pace over 1m7f here last month and the son of Jeremy can post an improved effort returned to further, while Nordic Tiger is also noted.

COUNTRY LADY remains open to improvement and looks fairly treated on her handicap bow. She is taken to land the opener. Tribesmans Glory and Nordic Tiger can also make their presence felt.

Paul Nicholls' mare COUNTRY LADY should be capable of paying her way off this sort of mark in handicaps.

BRAVE JEN was touched off in a Listed event on her penultimate outing and although subsequently pulled up in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle at Newbury, she looks to have been found a golden opportunity eased in class. Larchmont Lass is another that should benefit from a drop in grade and must feature prominently in calculations, along with Goodtimecrew and Betty's Tiara. Asian Spice goes in search of her hat-trick having notched a brace of Exeter handicap wins in November, but this looks tougher under a double penalty.

Having shaped well on hurdling debut, BRAVE JEN was pitched in too deep last time, so she's capable of getting off the mark back in calmer waters. Betty's Tiara is open to improvement and looks a feasible danger, while Larchmont Lass could feature if the longer trip brings more out of her.

The Challow was always going to be a big ask for BRAVE JEN and the form of her previous second in a Listed race earns her the vote.

DARTMOOR PIRATE must concede weight all round having landed a C&D maiden in December, but he found only a now 135-rated rival too strong at Huntingdon last month and looks the one to beat. Steel Ally was unable to do himself justice after pulling too hard on heavy ground at Ffos Las, though he is unlikely to be far away here if settling better. Kentucky Bluegrass boasts some solid Flat form and warrants respect now switched to hurdles.

STEEL ALLY weakened out of things pretty quickly when last seen at Ffos Las in December yet, he'd previously shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on his hurdles debut at that venue in November (despite bad mistake last) and is worth another chance to get back on track. C&D winner Dartmoor Pirate rates the chief threat, ahead of Salvatore and American Land.

Dartmoor Pirate probably has less on his plate than at Huntingdon last time but he may struggle to concede 6lb to STEEL ALLY.

It is difficult to look past FIRE FLYER on the back of a highly encouraging hurdling debut effort at Newbury behind a subsequent Grade 2 scorer. A winner over a similar distance to this in bumpers, Paul Nicholls' charge should not be inconvenienced by the drop in trip and he sets the standard ahead of the likes of Johannes and Thank You Ma'am, who seems to be improving.

FIRE FLYER made a promising start in this sphere at Newbury in December and has been found a good opportunity to open his account here. Thank You Ma'am looks the obvious danger on form, whilst fair Flat performer Zhang Fei warrants respect on his first crack over hurdles.

This looks a golden opportunity for FIRE FLYER to get his head back in front after chasing home smart horses on his last two starts.

Slight preference is for MANOTHEPEOPLE, who has not shown much in his last two starts but ran very well on his first start of the season at Exeter. Tom Broughton's 7lb claim is a help and he may be able to regain some of his early chasing form from last season. An easy winner over C&D last time out, albeit on heavy ground, Take Your Time can give him the most to think about, ahead of Jacamar.

TAKE YOUR TIME has relished the switch to chasing this season and looks well capable of maintaining his unbeaten record in this sphere. The in-form Jacamar is unexposed over this trip and could pose the main threat, while veteran Copperhead isn't without hope.

The 10yo COPPERHEAD (nap) is beginning to look a horse ready to exploit his reduced mark and returning to further has to be a plus.

Grade 1-winning hurdler LALOR makes his hunter chase bow after a 670-day layoff and the veteran could have too much class for these rivals. Paul Nicholls' charge was last seen dominating a class 2 handicap chase at Newbury and a reproduction of that performance would make him extremely tough to beat. Goose Man has race fitness on his side and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Wick Green.

LALOR has an absence of almost two years to overcome but, if he retains the bulk of his ability, he should outclass his rivals here. Goose Man is the solid alternative if the selection isn't on his game and Wick Green should give his running again.

The market can guide with Lalor. WICK GREEN has been holding his own in some good handicaps and he's preferred to Goose Man.

Northern Symphonie failed to build on her promising second at Newbury in December when only mustering a seventh-placed finish at Warwick the following month. With several interesting newcomers on show, it may pay to look elsewhere and NOTORIOUS PINK edges the vote. The Martaline mare, a half-sister to the Grade 2-placed chaser One For The Team, ticks plenty of the right boxes. She may have enough speed to fend off fellow debutant Jubilee Alpha, who warrants respect representing Paul Nicholls.

This can go to a newcomer, with JUBILEE ALPHA preferred over Notorious Pink and I've Madeupmymind before market clues.

Most of the newcomers are interesting, particularly JUBILEE ALPHA and Notorious Pink. The betting should give further guidance.

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.
