12:20 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
17	17 (17) (50/1 +20%) Robeam	50 50/1(+20%)	(17) Robeam 50/1, Not disgraced when fourth at Hereford in October but well held at Uttoxeter just before Christmas and his losing run is mounting up. A lesser show 19 days ago was on heavy going; looks vulnerable to some less exposed rivals.
1	5 1st (5) (5/2 +50%) Townhill	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(5) Townhill 5/2, Point winner who has shown promise in both handicaps 8 months apart. rallying to finish third of 15 over 21.5f at Exeter 20 days ago. Return to 3m will suit. Has first-time cheekpieces added to regular tongue tie. Might prove the answer. His two handicaps (near 3m and 2m6f) suggest he's a stayer; cheekpieces now; shortlisted.
2	13 2nd (13) (4/1 +0%) Pipers Cross	4 4/1(+0%)	(13) Pipers Cross 4/1, Modest maiden hurdler for Sandy Forster. Made a decent start for new trainer Robbie Llewellyn when second of 7 in 23f Bangor handicap 19 days ago. Cheekpieces go on now. Could have more to offer for her new yard. On the shortlist. Second at Bangor (2m7f; favourite) on debut for new yard; now has headgear first time.
3	6 3rd (6) (40/1 -100%) Little Talks	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Little Talks 40/1, Runner-up only start in Irish points. Only poor form in maiden/novice hurdles (beaten 21 lengths when third at Fakenham latest) but does rate a possible improver now handicapping over further. Seemed to be crying out for further over 2m4f latest; needs improvement on handicap debut.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +17%) Faha Belle	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Faha Belle 10/1, Irish point winner who has yet better modest form in bumpers and novice hurdles but no surprise were she to fare better now handicapping. Check the betting. Needs improvement on handicap debut; the marked step up in trip holds possibilities.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -71%) Rickety Gate	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Rickety Gate 12/1, Won pair of handicaps in autumn 2022 and arrives on the back of 3 successive placed efforts in 3m handicaps, the latest when second of 11 at Musselburgh 6 weeks ago. Ought to be competitive again. Placed over 3m on last three outings, latest when second at Musselburgh six weeks ago.
6th	15 6th (15) (80/1 -21%) Smart Connection	80 80/1(-21%)	(15) Smart Connection 80/1, Left his previous hurdles form behind when causing an 80/1 upset at Cartmel) in August but no big surprise that he's failed to back that up at Market Rasen on his 2 outings since. Cartmel win in August; below form both starts since; stamina not proved beyond 2m6f.
7th	16 7th (16) (17/2 +39%) Harkangel	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(16) Harkangel 17/2, Some promise when fourth of 14 in 21f Sedgefield handicap on reappearance in November but comfortably held at Ffos Las since. Needs to bounce back. Others have more pressing claims judged on her three runs in handicaps (2m, 2m5f and 2m4f).
8th	11 8th (11) (18/1 -29%) Dequall	18 18/1(-29%)	(11) Dequall 18/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1, fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23f, heavy) 28 days ago. Needs to step up on recent efforts. 556 days off before Kelso third in October; there have been two major backward steps since.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 -25%) Derwent Dealer	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Derwent Dealer 25/1, Just modest in bumpers and well held both completed starts over hurdles. More chance in handicaps but his opening mark demands improvement. Cheekpieces also go on. Goes handicapping off a lowly mark; also upped in trip and cheekpieces are enlisted.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (13/2 +13%) I'm On My Way	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(10) I'm On My Way 13/2, Improved to make a successful handicap debut over 2½m at Wincanton last month, proving suited by the step up in trip. Could have more to come now tackling 3m. Needs considering. Won handicap debut at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) by neck with strong finish; up 4lb and to 3m.
10th	12 10th (12) (22/1 -83%) Baby Sham	22 22/1(-83%)	(12) Baby Sham 22/1, Won at Fakenham (2½m) and Fontwell (3¼m) at the start of the season. Below-form fourth at Plumpton in 2 runs since returning from a break but has been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper. Good-ground wins last May (2m4f) and June (3m2f) but not in the same form since.
11th	14 11th (14) (6/1 +57%) Poppop	6 6/1(+57%)	(14) Poppop 6/1, Poor maiden hurdler but has shown he can be competitive from his mark when reaching the frame at Market Rasen and Ludlow (both around 3m) in recent months. More will be needed to gain a first win here, though. Handicaps on last three starts, on last two occasions taking minor honours (2m7f/3m).
12th	18 12th (18) (33/1 -175%) Lough Salt	33 33/1(-175%)	(18) Lough Salt 33/1, Successful twice in 3m handicap chases here in early-2022. Form patchy since but he did go close over fences at Sedgefield when last seen in October. First hurdle start since 2019. First run over hurdles since 2019; short-headed at Sedgefield (3m3f) in his latest chase.
13th	7 13th (7) (25/1 -25%) Sadie Hill	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) Sadie Hill 25/1, Struggled over fences this autumn but nicely treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival having dropped back to the mark she won off at Ffos Las in April. Won off this mark last April; back hurdling but others look more solid.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (40/1 -233%) Iron Horse	40 40/1(-233%)	(2) Iron Horse 40/1, Runner-up on last 2 completed starts in this sphere but he's now 13 years of age and was tailed off in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter back from a break in November. 13yo who has had 18 races, winning once in 2019; switch back from chasing looks a positive.

LTO Selection:

I'm On My Way found an opening mark of 79 to be within range when opening her account over 2m4f at Wincanton and a 4lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, she will need to settle better if she is to see out this distance, which is something that TOWNHILL should relish. Tom Lacey's charge found the drop in trip against him when third on his reappearance at Exeter and compensation could await here. Pipers Cross may fare best of the remainder.

The unexposed TOWNHILL might prove the answer to this competitive opener. The way Tom Lacey's charge rallied for third in a big field at Exeter last month suggests he could have more to come now stepping back up to around 3m. Pipers Cross made a sound start for Robbie Llewellyn when second at Bangor and could have more to offer for her new yard so she's second choice ahead of I'm On My Way and the consistent Rickety Gate.

Plenty bring some interest to this large-field handicap but the pick may be TOWNHILL, I'm On My Way and Post Chaise.

12:20 Doncaster Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:50 Doncaster Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +0%) Personal Ambition	1.25 5/4(+0%)	(1) Personal Ambition 5/4, Placed in Irish point and prior to winning a 12-runner novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, heavy) on NH debut, beating a subsequent winner. Struggled in Grade 2 at Sandown since but expected to bounce back in this company. Has 7 lb penalty. Won at Warwick then well-beaten 3rd in Sandown Grade 2; leading claims back down in grade.
2	5 2nd (5) (13/8 +28%) Inoui Machin	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(5) Inoui Machin 13/8, Made it 2 wins from 3 starts in bumpers at Chepstow (2m) in April. Just fair form when third both starts over hurdles here, not finding much in this headgear last time. Drops back in trip and leading player in winnable event. Two-time bumper winner for whom the drop back in trip could help on this third hurdle run.
3	14 3rd (14) (10/1 -43%) Lightfoot Lady	10 10/1(-43%)	(14) Lightfoot Lady 10/1, Overcame greenness to make a winning bumper debut at Stratford in March 2022. Seemingly amiss (back from 15-month absence) on hurdles bow at Worcester in June before remote fifth at Huntingdon in November. Won bumper in March 2022; yet to shine on either hurdle run but things may click again.
4	12 4th (12) (100/1 -100%) Charmian's Place	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Charmian's Place 100/1, Fair form when reaching the frame in 2 bumpers in the spring but well below that level after 6 months off next 2 starts, including on hurdles bow. Ran well in first two bumpers but not on her last two starts (hurdle debut last time).
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 +36%) Finn Lough	16 16/1(+36%)	(3) Finn Lough 16/1, Successful sole start between the flags but probably more one for handicaps further down the line given how he's shaped both starts over hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time. 3m point winner; one to watch in the market but he may be of greater interest in handicaps.
6th	9 6th (9) (13/2 -8%) Skiffle Man	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(9) Skiffle Man 13/2, €45,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Tim Pat. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Resolute Bay. One to note on debut. In top hands and could play leading role on debut, especially if strong in betting.
7th	15 7th (15) (100/1 -52%) Mrs Tabitha	100 100/1(-52%)	(15) Mrs Tabitha 100/1, Debut bumper winner at Bangor in April but well held both starts over hurdles. Won bumper on debut last April but she's struggled on her first two hurdle starts.
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -186%) Badlands Boy	40 40/1(-186%)	(2) Badlands Boy 40/1, Much better effort in bumpers when fourth of 12 at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy, 66/1) 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Fourth in second and final bumper but needs to take a step forward on hurdle debut.
9th	7 9th (7) (200/1 -100%) Martalite	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Martalite 200/1, Big price when well held in bumper/novice/maiden hurdle. Hasn't shown enough across his first three runs to suggest he'll be making an impact today.
10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -142%) Ronaldoreturns	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Ronaldoreturns 80/1, Well held in point bumper but exceeded market expectations in filling the frame when fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) on NH debut. Dropped away quickly here since, however. Fair fourth on rules debut and has had wind op since last month's flop; each-way possible.
11th	4 11th (4) (250/1 -150%) Gold Ring	250 250/1(-150%)	(4) Gold Ring 250/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 2m), shaped as if amiss last time. Makes NH debut. Two-time Flat winner but at a lowly level; may be best watched on hurdle debut.
12th	10 12th (10) (300/1 -200%) The Old Bull	300 300/1(-200%)	(10) The Old Bull 300/1, Well held in bumpers. Off 9 months. Tailed off at big odds in 2 bumpers; has to be entirely different proposition now hurdling.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (33/1 +0%) Mafia Power	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Mafia Power 33/1, Fair performer on the Flat (stays 1½m). Sold from Archie Watson's yard for just 5,000 gns during the spring but offered something to work on when fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft, 80/1) on NH debut 62 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Three-time Flat winner whose hurdle debut fourth came in a race that has worked out well.

LTO Selection:

PERSONAL AMBITION likely found the testing conditions against him when a distant third in a Grade 2 at Sandown last month. Ben Pauling's inmate was quite taking prior to that disappointment when landing the spoils at Warwick and he can get back on the winning trail here. Inoui Machin receives 7lb from the selection and is feared most on his return to an extended 2m, although any market support for newcomer Skiffle Man would be interesting.

PERSONAL AMBITION struggled in a Grade 2 at Sandown but can quickly resume winning ways under a penalty dropped markedly in class. Inoui Machin didn't find much here last time but is a big player on these terms, while Zain Nights is worth another chance to build on his eye-catching hurdles debut with cheekpieces re-fitted.

Warwick winner PERSONAL AMBITION drops back in grade from a Sandown Grade 2 and is taken to defy a 7lb penalty.

12:50 Doncaster Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:05 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (10/3 -11%) Royal Mer	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(5) Royal Mer 10/3, Mixed bag over hurdles for this yard but returned to something like his best back over fences, showing a good attitude to land 7-runner Ffos Las handicap (19.4f). Respectable second of 6 in at this course (22.7f, heavy, 3/1) 4 weeks ago and has to be taken seriously back down in trip. Soft-ground winner in November and ran well on heavy here last month; respected.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/2 -22%) Supasunrise	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(8) Supasunrise 11/2, Gained his second chase win when seeing off 9 rivals over 2½m at Warwick in November and his subsequent Market Rasen run is easy to ignore (pulled up early after rein snapped). Good second at Hereford since and can go well again. More exposed than some of these but was in good form towards the end of last year.
3	9 3rd (9) (18/1 +28%) Higgs	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Higgs 18/1, Out of sorts in the spring and little encouragement at Bangor on return. Struggled on latest outing, after a break, and is difficult to enthuse over at present.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +75%) Eyed	3 3/1(+75%)	(3) Eyed 3/1, Winner over hurdles at Huntingdon in March. Should make a chaser but proved a let-down after 7 months off when eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, heavy, 11/1) on debut over fences 64 days ago. Has had a breathing operation. Given wind op after low-key seasonal/chase debut; may yet do well over fences.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/2 +36%) Has Troke	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Has Troke 9/2, Fair hurdler who was more miss than hit last season and much better for chase bow/return second at Wincanton. Needs to build on that again. Sound effort when second on heavy ground last month but overall profile not that appealing.
6th	7 6th (7) (8/1 -78%) Our Friend Mo	8 8/1(-78%)	(7) Our Friend Mo 8/1, Best effort when runner-up in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy, 12/1) on debut over fences 26 days ago, doing her best work late on. May need further if she's to build on that. Kept on well to snatch second on chasing debut and has plenty of scope for progress.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 -175%) Malpas	11 11/1(-175%)	(2) Malpas 11/1, Successful 3 times over 17f at Carlisle in 2021/22 but winless last term. However, made a much better fist of things on his second try chasing back from 9 months off when third at Carlisle and may well come on again for the run. Needs considering. Fairly good third on seasonal debut at Carlisle; today's ground ought to suit.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (14/1 +0%) Out The Glen	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Out The Glen 14/1, Three chase wins at the start of 2022. Also runner-up twice at Huntingdon last spring but has run badly all 3 starts since returning from 5 months off. Dual course winner in 2022 but has regressed and become inconsistent; others preferred.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (33/1 -313%) Arlo	33 33/1(-313%)	(1) Arlo 33/1, Fair hurdler for Stuart Crawford in Ireland and, after 18 months off, showed that he retains plenty of ability when third in Sedgefield maiden in October. However, shaped with minimal encouragement on chase bow at Southwell last month. Placed over hurdles on stable debut but subsequent chasing debut was disappointing.

LTO Selection:

Lurking towards the foot of the weights, SUPASUNRISE makes plenty of appeal for Nigel Twiston-Davies and Finn Lambert. With a line put through his penultimate effort (left rein snapped), he has been in fine form of late and everything looks in place for another bold bid. Malpas is entitled to improve for his comeback run at Carlisle and warrants respect stepping up in trip off a 3lb lower mark. Our Friend Mo, Royal Mer and Has Troke are other names to note.

MALPAS made a much better fist of things on his second try chasing back from 9 months off when third at Carlisle and has potential to do better again given his hurdles form. He gets the vote eased in class, with Royal Mer and Supasunrise feared most.

This is a drop in grade for MALPAS (nap), who made a pleasing seasonal debut at Carlisle last month and is still unexposed over fences.

13:25 Doncaster Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	13 1st (13) (14/1 +58%) Sammy's Guarantee	14 14/1(+58%)	(13) Sammy's Guarantee 14/1, Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers and has shown a bit of promise in a trio of starts over hurdles, finishing with some running left at Exeter on her latest outing. Remains capable of better on the back of a breathing operation but is probably more one for handicaps. 2nd in a point bumper; beaten between 29l and 37l in her three runs over hurdles; wind op.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/5 +30%) Classic King	0.4 2/5(+30%)	(1) Classic King 2/5, Fair in bumpers and ran to a similar level when making a winning start over hurdles at Wincanton (15.2f) in October. Showed improved form when runner-up to a good prospect at Kempton since and sets a clear standard on that form. Won hurdle debut and Kempton 2nd is a long way ahead of anything else shown by this field.
3	12 3rd (12) (6/1 -9%) Linda Moon	6 6/1(-9%)	(12) Linda Moon 6/1, Bumper winner who looked badly in need of the experience when sixth of 10 in novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft, 7/1) on debut in this sphere 15 days ago. Entitled to do better. 2nd and 1st in bumpers; showed enough on hurdle debut to be a serious each-way contender.
4	10 4th (10) (200/1 -33%) West Hill Shadow	200 200/1(-33%)	(10) West Hill Shadow 200/1, Well held in bumper/novice hurdles. Beaten about 40l in his bumper and both starts over hurdles.
5th	7 5th (7) (80/1 -300%) Lawmans Blis	80 80/1(-300%)	(7) Lawmans Blis 80/1, Modest Flat winner who ran to a similar level on completed start over hurdles here last month. 1m4f Flat winner (fair form); modest on hurdle debut; brought down at the first next time.
6th	5 6th (5) (200/1 -1329%) Glenvango	200 200/1(-1329%)	(5) Glenvango 200/1, €12,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Glencassley and bumper winner Nana Joan. Market for clues. 12,000euros 3yo; ninth foal; half-brother to two jumps winners; dam 2m/2m3f hurdle winner.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -100%) Molly's Third Man	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) Molly's Third Man 66/1, Comfortably held in 2 bumpers in the spring and similar story both outings over hurdles. Well held in two bumpers in the spring and tailed off at 40-1 in his two runs over hurdles.
8th	4 8th (4) (200/1 -900%) Fixed Wing	200 200/1(-900%)	(4) Fixed Wing 200/1, Showed a bit more on debut when fifth in 8-runner bumper (40/1) at Hereford (16.2f, good) 42 days ago. Tries hurdling now. Closer when front-running in his second bumper but this still needs a transformation.
9th	2 9th (2) (125/1 -150%) Dexperado	125 125/1(-150%)	(2) Dexperado 125/1, Cost plenty and has a good pedigree but hasn't looked anything out of the ordinary in a bumper/pair of novice hurdles 5 months apart. Minor promise from a bumper and two runs over hurdles.
10th	3 10th (3) (4/1 -14%) Dino Bellagio	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Dino Bellagio 4/1, Dual bumper winner who fluffed his lines completely when pulled up before 5 out in a maiden hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, soft) on debut in this sphere 98 days ago. Surely capable of much better in first-time cheekpieces. 2-4 in bumpers and jumpers in his pedigree but hurdle debut was poor; cheekpieces now.
11th	14 11th (14) (250/1 -150%) Telefenney	250 250/1(-150%)	(14) Telefenney 250/1, Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles 6 months apart, so can't be recommended. Hooded but raced freely when suffering heavy defeats in maiden hurdles in April/October.
12th	9 12th (9) (25/1 -79%) Platenium	25 25/1(-79%)	(9) Platenium 25/1, Went backwards from debut when ninth of 12 in bumper at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy) 35 days ago, folding. Makes hurdles debut. Raced freely and weakened when well held in two bumpers; had wind surgery in between.
13th	6 13th (6) (200/1 -900%) Jean De Monts	200 200/1(-900%)	(6) Jean De Monts 200/1, Showed some ability when sixth in 2m minor event on his only outing on Flat in France but was tailed off on his recent C&D hurdles debut. One French Flat run; 15-2 for stable/hurdle debut over C&D (good) in December, tailed off.
14th	11 14th (11) (250/1 -400%) Gladys Eva Jane	250 250/1(-400%)	(11) Gladys Eva Jane 250/1, Some promise in bumpers but has shown little in 2 maiden hurdles and easily passed over. Placed in her final two bumpers but heavy defeats at 200-1 and 150-1 over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

CLASSIC KING found only subsequent Listed winner Queens Gamble too good at Kempton in November and the six-year-old is likely to take all the beating in this weaker event. Linda Moon is entitled to build on her sixth-placed hurdles bow at Wincanton on Boxing Day and she could give the selection most to think about. Even though Dino Bellagio failed to fire on his opening bid over timber at Bangor in October, it's too early to write this dual bumper winner off.

CLASSIC KING built on his Wincanton hurdling debut success when runner-up to a useful mare under a penalty at Kempton in November and, with that form proving strong, he ought to take plenty of beating. Dino Bellagio completely fluffed his lines on his hurdling bow at Bangor but is surely capable of better based on his bumper exploits, with Linda Moon taken to fill the places.

This is a superb opportunity for CLASSIC KING to register his second win over hurdles. Linda Moon can follow him home.

13:25 Doncaster Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Leicester Claiming Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/4 -25%) Parikarma	1.25 5/4(-25%)	(6) Parikarma 5/4, Taunton novice winner (16.5f) who added another solid effort to her tally when runner-up at Market Rasen in December. Underwhelming display at Newbury followed last month but no surprise to see her bounce back and good claims on these terms eased in class. Below form at Newbury recently but was second in Market Rasen handicap earlier in December.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +40%) Iddergem	3 3/1(+40%)	(2) Iddergem 3/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 4-runner selling hurdle at Stratford (19f, heavy) in November. Second in a novice claimer at Ludlow since. Should go well but bit to find with stablemate Swinging London. Has gone close in a Ludlow claimer since winning Stratford seller in November; a player.
3	5 3rd (5) (200/1 -203%) Tampico Rocco	200 200/1(-203%)	(5) Tampico Rocco 200/1, Yet to better poor form in bumpers/trio of maiden/novice hurdles and hard to make a case for even allowing for this drop in class. Struggled to get competitive in three maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (2/1 +20%) Swinging London	2 2/1(+20%)	(1) Swinging London 2/1, Fair winning hurdler who returned to form when fourth at Lingfield (2m) in November but he got no further than the second on the back of a heavy fall at Southwell (20.4f) 24 days ago. Still, not discounted now eased in class with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. Fell heavily last time but ran quite well when fourth in Lingfield handicap in November.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (14/1 -155%) Vorashann	14 14/1(-155%)	(3) Vorashann 14/1, Dual hurdles winner for Gary Moore in 2022 but well held in a Huntingdon claimer on first start for 10 months/yard debut in November. Not out of things if he can show benefit of that run here. Fairly useful in his prime but safely held in this grade on stable debut in November.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (50/1 -100%) Man Of The North	50 50/1(-100%)	(4) Man Of The North 50/1, Veteran who was running to a poor level when last seen over fences during the spring. Hard to make a case for returned to timber following a 7-month layoff. Lowly rated veteran; suited by slow ground but has fitness to prove after 238-day layoff.

LTO Selection:

Olly Murphy looks to have a couple of solid chances here with first-time blinkered Swinging London and IDDERGEM. Although the former is rated 10lb superior, Lewis Stones' mount has posted solid win and placed efforts at this sort of level since returning and he looks a more solid option. Parikarma drops in class and has every chance if on a going day, while Vorashann comes out top on official figures but was disappointing in a similar event at Huntingdon last time.

PARIKARMA needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Newbury last month but this marked drop in grade rates an obvious plus and, with conditions holding no fears, she's expected to bounce back. The Olly Murphy trained-pair Swinging London and Iddergem may emerge as the lead threats.

Gary Moore's mare PARIKARMA will find this much easier than her latest assignment and is selected ahead of Swinging London.

14:00 Doncaster Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +25%) Raffle Ticket	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(2) Raffle Ticket 9/2, Winning pointer who has developed into a better chaser than hurdler, winning back-to-back handicaps at Huntingdon and Worcester last year. Stepped up on his recent run when second at Taunton (18.2f) in December and he looks to hold leading claims. Better than ever on latest start when beaten a head at Taunton; 4lb rise could be worse.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 +36%) Cruz Control	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(4) Cruz Control 7/4, Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner who opened his account at the third attempt over fences with a battling success at Newcastle (20.1f) in November. Again ran well when second at this course (19.1f) 25 days ago, so he's respected with tongue strap now applied. In good form over fences last two runs; tongue tied now; should be seriously involved.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/2 -22%) Hitching Jacking	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Hitching Jacking 11/2, Runner-up on sole outing in points and won a pair of novice hurdles in 2022/23. However, failed to meet expectations on his seasonal/chase debut when fifth of 7 at Huntingdon (23.6f) in November, jumping ponderously. Cheekpieces now reached for. Well beaten on last two starts, off 193 days before chase debut on latest; first headgear.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -64%) Dreams Of Home	18 18/1(-64%)	(6) Dreams Of Home 18/1, Made a winning return at Kelso (17f) last season and took a step back in the right direction when third at Musselburgh (15.8f) on his first start of the current campaign. However, pulled up last time and others are more persuasive as he goes back up in trip. Down the weights, having failed to fire on all cylinders; best efforts over 2m/2m1f.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +33%) Nothin To Ask	12 12/1(+33%)	(5) Nothin To Ask 12/1, Hit the ground running over fences last term, bagging handicaps at Chepstow and at this course (19.2f). However, has largely been below that level since, pulled up under testing conditions at Aintree in December. Needs to get back on track. Back to his last winning mark but has patchy chase form; others in this look more solid.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 -400%) Getaway Luv	40 40/1(-400%)	(9) Getaway Luv 40/1, Scored at Cartmel last summer and would have won at Uttoxeter in September but for unseating 2 out. After a below-par effort a week later, resumed winning ways at Wetherby (19.4f) in October, before making the frame at Catterick last time. Can give his running again. Inconsistent and can make mistakes but he won last year in March, July and October.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/2 -50%) Demachine	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(1) Demachine 9/2, After 4 months off (had a second wind op), returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (20f) in May 2022. Didn't go on from that effort during the remainder of last season, but he's an interesting contender as he drops down in grade on his return. Not so good in his last three starts but they were in much better races than this.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (12/1 +33%) One Fine Man	12 12/1(+33%)	(8) One Fine Man 12/1, Thrived for switch to chasing last year following a lengthy absence, landing back-to-back 2m handicaps at Carlisle/Ayr in February. After 8 months off, finished well held at Aintree on his stable debut in November, so he needs to leave his latest run well behind. Tailed off at 33-1 for yard debut at Aintree in November; others have more pressing claims.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (22/1 -100%) Ubetya	22 22/1(-100%)	(7) Ubetya 22/1, Off the mark for current yard in Cartmel handicap (21.2f) in May and not discredited back from a break when third at Wetherby (19.4f) in November. Shaped as is amiss last time, but he's now back down to his last winning mark so he's not discounted. Backward steps on last two starts, on heavy ground but he has plenty of form on that.

LTO Selection:

With a win over this sort of trip at Newcastle on his penultimate start, followed by a respectable second-placed finished over 2m3f here last month, CRUZ CONTROL has shown stacks of promise since switching to chasing and looks worth siding with again. Now tried in a tongue strap, the seven-year-old has just a 2lb higher mark to contend with and may prove to be too progressive for the likes of Raffle Ticket and Getaway Luv, who appeal most of the rest.

With his recent run behind him, RAFFLE TICKET got back on the up when second at Taunton last time, pulling clear of the rest, and he can build on that effort to resume winning ways. Cruz Control has shown improved form on his last 2 starts, including at this course on his latest outing, and could be the main danger, ahead of Demachine.

Raffle Ticket and Cruz Control are the conspicuously in-form candidates but DEMACHINE can make the most of this drop in class.

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -20%) Johnny Mac	4 4/1(-20%)	(6) Johnny Mac 4/1, Has shown improved form since joining his current yard, getting off the mark in handicap at Hereford in November and doing well to follow up at this C&D, overcoming mistakes and trouble in running. Respected despite running from out of the weights. 7lb wrong today but is 2-2 for current stable after last month's heavy-ground C&D win.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/4 +17%) Hunter Legend	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(5) Hunter Legend 5/4, Maiden hurdler but this half-brother to the yard's very smart chaser Cepage shaped promisingly on his chasing debut when second in handicap at Ludlow in November, clear of the remainder. Can build on that effort to go one better. Ran big race in defeat on chasing debut at Ludlow two months ago and commands respect.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +36%) Clonakilty	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(4) Clonakilty 9/2, Made it second time lucky over hurdles at Uttoxeter last season, but he failed to progress thereafter and below expectations when well held on his chase debut at Huntingdon in November. However, it remains early days over fences, having had a wind op with tongue tie added. Given wind op after disappointing chasing debut; probably still has potential.
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 -10%) Harel Du Marais	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Harel Du Marais 11/2, Still looking for his first win but denied by only a neck at this C&D in November on his stable debut. Again ran well when fourth at Doncaster the following month, but will need to find more as he switches to chasing. Made the frame on both hurdling starts for this stable; a possible if he takes to fences.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -25%) Limetree Boy	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Limetree Boy 10/1, Winning hurdler and showed aptitude for chasing when third in handicap at Worcester (20f) on his return last season. Wasn't able to build on that effort when fifth at Chepstow next time, but he could still have more to offer, albeit after a further 11 months off. Placed on chasing debut in 2022 but off since last February's respectable Chepstow fifth.
6th	1 6th (1) (40/1 -300%) Kalkas	40 40/1(-300%)	(1) Kalkas 40/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner who posted best effort over fences when runner-up in Leopardstown novice in March 2022. Disappointed on final start for Henry de Bromhead and market best guide on belated return for new yard (has had a wind op). Hood on first time. Second in novice chase in Ireland in 2022; makes stable debut after long absence.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (22/1 -38%) No Quarter Asked	22 22/1(-38%)	(7) No Quarter Asked 22/1, Sole win came in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f) in June 2021. Runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts for present yard, most recently in a 3-runner C&D handicap, but looks vulnerable from 9 lb out of the weights here. Sound effort when second of three over C&D last month but 9lb wrong today.

LTO Selection:

JOHNNY MAC has won his last two starts, including when turning over an odds-on favourite over C&D last time, and a further 10lb hike in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him. Hunter Legend is just 3lb higher than when touched off at Ludlow in November and he is likely to be in the thick of the action again. Limetree Boy has few miles on the clock and is worth a market check at least, while Harel Du Marais cannot be ruled out either.

HUNTER LEGEND made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Ludlow in November, pulling clear of the rest, and he can open his account with improvement to come. He is taken to see off the challenge of Johnny Mac, who has won both starts since joining Matt Sheppard, while Clonakilty could yet do better as a chaser.

It's hard to get away from HUNTER LEGEND, who went down fighting when a clear second on his chasing debut at Ludlow.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -14%) Masked Dance	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Masked Dance 4/1, Unseated on handicap debut at Ludlow in April but took strides forward to finish runner-up both starts since, finishing strongly (following wind op/6 months off) at Ludlow (21.2f) in November. Mark has crept up 4 lb but she's worth considering nevertheless. 0-8 but runner-up on last two starts and a first win looks imminent.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -200%) Kay Tara Tara	6 6/1(-200%)	(1) Kay Tara Tara 6/1, Above-average bumper performer who made it first time lucky over hurdles in mares' maiden at Huntingdon (19.6f) in October. Matched that form when third under a penalty at Fontwell (19.2f, heavy) 4 weeks ago and good chance there's more to come now handicapping. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner who has the potential to be better than her opening mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 +17%) Midnight Shuffle	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(3) Midnight Shuffle 15/2, Steadily progressive prior to a below par display at Perth (16.2f) in April but did shape as if she'd strip fitter for her reappearance run here (16.6f) 26 days ago, losing place approaching 3 out and not knocked about. Eased 2 lb since and goes back up in trip now. May have needed reappearance run and case can be made on last season's best form.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +40%) Could Be Trouble	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(2) Could Be Trouble 9/2, Hurdles/chase winner who shaped better than distance beaten suggests when third at Aintree (20f) on Boxing Day, tying up late as positive ride told. Lurking on a handy mark and she's one to consider. Well-beaten 3rd at Aintree but it may have been a warm race; 2nd previously; not ruled out.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/2 +40%) Malina Jamila	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(7) Malina Jamila 9/2, Bumper/hurdles winner who lost her way in handicaps but did at least stop the slide from reduced mark (equipped with cheekpieces) when fourth in mares' handicap here (24.4f) 25 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Encouraging fourth over 3m here last month and today's shorter trip looks a plus.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -250%) Ravenscar	14 14/1(-250%)	(4) Ravenscar 14/1, Dual 2m scorer last season (latterly here) who showed benefit of reappearance run when third at Newcastle (16.9f) in November. Never went with same fluency when last of 3 at Southwell (15.8f) since and she needs to bounce back ahead of this return to further. Not at the top of her game this term but she's below her last winning mark; check betting.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (3/1 +73%) Mrs Grimley	3 3/1(+73%)	(5) Mrs Grimley 3/1, Fair bumper winner who has shown similar form over hurdles, opening her account in a Ffos Las novice last winter. Mixed bag subsequently though, below best when eighth in 14-runner handicap here (16.6f) in December. Remains unexposed at this trip at least. Down to a handy mark but needs to produce more than she's managed this season (two starts).

LTO Selection:

Masked Dance posted a pleasing effort when second at Ludlow and as that was her first start since undergoing wind surgery, she should have more to give. Could Be Trouble is also open to progression and rates highly after a respectable third at Aintree on Boxing Day. However, preference is for KAY TARA TARA, who is still very low-mileage over hurdles and having won over this sort of trip on her jumping debut in October, she looks the pick of the bunch on her handicap debut.

COULD BE TROUBLE has fallen plenty in the weights and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when third behind a less exposed pair at Aintree over Christmas, tying up late on as positive ride told. She could be worth siding with to confirm the promise of that run with the forecast quicker ground here holding no fears. Masked Dance, who finished with a flourish at Ludlow back in November, and low-mileage Kay Tara Tara are others shortlisted.

The improving MASKED DANCE (nap) has been a good second on her last two starts and is taken to get off the mark at the ninth attempt.

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 -40%) Dominic's Fault	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(2) Dominic's Fault 7/2, Expensive purchase who is closely related to 2 winners, including smart hurdler/fairly useful chaser Midnight Game. Held in a share of second when falling at the last on hurdles debut at Aintree back in May 2022 and absent since but he's presumably capable of a good deal better. In process of running well before falling on debut in May 2022; not seen again since.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/4 +32%) Wal Buck's	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(7) Wal Buck's 9/4, Fourth sole outing in Irish points and built on a considerate bumper introduction when fourth of 10 in novice at Carlisle (17f, soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago, staying front rank for a long way. Capable of better. Kept on for fourth on hurdle debut a Carlisle and almost certainly has more to offer.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +57%) Jo Lescribaa	6 6/1(+57%)	(4) Jo Lescribaa 6/1, Placed in 2 bumpers in France but hasn't made a significant impact in 2 starts for current yard and will be of more interest in handicaps after this. Placed in two French bumpers but has shown only minor promise over hurdles.
4	1 4th (1) (9/4 -63%) Tommie Gun	2.25 9/4(-63%)	(1) Tommie Gun 9/4, From a good jumping family and built on bumper promise to make a successful debut over hurdles in 13-runner novice event at Southwell (15.8f, soft) 24 days ago. Impressed with attitude there and he's open to improvement. One of two to sprint clear of the others when scoring on hurdle debut at Southwell.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -27%) Donald Llewellyn	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Donald Llewellyn 7/1, Won 3 times on the Flat last year and showed something to work on having a belated second crack at hurdling when fifth of 18 in novice at Newbury (16.3f, heavy) 21 days ago. Should do better. Triple AW winner in 2023; fair fifth over hurdles at Newbury last month; more needed here.
6th	5 6th (5) (150/1 -50%) Lunar Ocean	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Lunar Ocean 150/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers during the spring and was held when unseating at the last at Warwick on hurdles debut. In rear before unseating rider at last flight on hurdle debut in November..

LTO Selection:

TOMMIE GUN showed sterling qualities to face down a challenge when he made a winning start over hurdles at Southwell last month and could be difficult to overhaul with a similarly determined effort here. A 6lb penalty makes life tougher for the selection, though, with the Gary Moore-trained Donald Llewellyn suggested as one who could capitalise if the weight becomes an issue on the likely testing ground. Wal Buck's is also considered after his respectable hurdles bow at Carlisle 24 days ago.

TOMMIE GUN found plenty for pressure to make a winning start over hurdles at Southwell last month and he can succesfully concede a penalty. Wal Buck's created a positive impression on his hurdling bow at Carlisle and is also respected, whilst six-figure purchase Dominic's Fault is most interesting 20 months on from his debut.

Preference is for TOMMIE GUN, who quickened up well to fend off a strong finisher on his hurdling debut at Southwell.

Shaped just as well when third there last time and he remains unexposed. Won on chase debut at Carlisle; third there since but could still be improvement to come.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +0%) Betterforeveryone	7 7/1(+0%)	(8) Betterforeveryone 7/1, Got off the mark at Bangor (23f) over hurdles on return last year but couldn't really build on that and never threatened when last of 3 finishers on chase debut at Warwick in November. First fence faller here last time and others are preferred. On a handy mark if the first-time visor can help him jump with greater fluency.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/3 +49%) Iberio	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(4) Iberio 10/3, Matched winning hurdles form when fourth at Exeter on chase debut. Compromised his chance with a bad blunder and probably wasn't to blame for his exit last time, so isn't fully discounted. Made bad mistakes on first two chase starts but can go well if minimising the blunders.
4	2 4th (2) (10/3 +52%) Lyrical Genius	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(2) Lyrical Genius 10/3, Has an unattractive style (takes plenty of riding) but arrives on the back of 2 good runner-up efforts, coping well with the step up to marathon trip when second of 7 in handicap chase (6/1) at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) 28 days ago. Others make greater appeal on balance, though. Runner-up on both starts this season and has some strong course form; can make bold bid.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (4/1 +67%) Marco Island	4 4/1(+67%)	(6) Marco Island 4/1, Reached a fairly useful level in a handful of starts over hurdles but didn't take to chasing last season and he'll need to return a different proposition after 8 months off. Struggled on first three chase starts but market move would be interesting on reappearance.

LTO Selection:

TOM CODY has been in terrific form since reverting to the larger obstacles and a further step up in trip can eke out further improvement as he looks to land the hat-trick, following easy successes at Newcastle and Wetherby last month. Rebecca Menzies' charge is preferred to Leicester scorer Val Dancer and Lyrical Genius, who was narrowly denied over this distance at Carlisle on his penultimate outing.

FENLAND TIGER has a prolific record in handicaps and Sam England's gelding again shaped encouragingly in a race which turned into a sprint at Carlisle last time, so he's fancied to enhance his positive strike rate. Leicester winner Val Dancer and the hat-trick seeking Tom Cody are also leading players in an interesting contest.

The highly progressive TOM CODY can make it 3-3 in cheekpieces following impressive wins the last twice. Val Dancer is a danger.

1	1 1st (1) (15/8 +53%) Galice Macalo	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(1) Galice Macalo 15/8, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who ran with credit in novices over fences on her first 2 outings this term but disappointing when a remote fourth back hurdling at Ludlow last month. Bounce back needed. Not as good as she was but still managed to hold her own in a Listed chase in November.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/8 -30%) Inspiratrice	1.625 13/8(-30%)	(4) Inspiratrice 13/8, 200/1-winner of 2m Taunton juvenile hurdle last winter. Drawn a blank since but has got better with each start over fences this season, chasing home a useful sort in a 17.5f novice at Exeter last time. Opening chase mark looks very workable. Close second to higher-rated rival in novice chase last month; has good chance here.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +0%) Artemis Kimbo	2 2/1(+0%)	(3) Artemis Kimbo 2/1, Fair winning novice hurdler last season who showed her first form over fences when making the most of a good opportunity in a 3-runner race over C&D (heavy) 4 weeks ago. Raised 3 lb for that. Made all in three-runner C&D handicap last month; obvious contender today.

LTO Selection:

ARTEMIS KIMBO is hard to oppose after her facile success over course and distance last month and, given she was eased towards the finish that day, a 3lb higher mark hardly looks restrictive in her bid for a follow-up success. Inspiratrice is an obvious threat after she went close in a similar race at Exeter last time, while Galice Macalo and Terresita may have to settle for scrapping it out as the best of the rest.

If the form of INSPIRATRICE's latest Exeter second to a useful rival is taken at face value she looks on a good mark now moving into a handicap. Last month's C&D scorer Artemis Kimbo is the obvious danger.

After splitting higher-rated rivals when second in a novice chase last month, INSPIRATRICE is well handicapped here and gets the nod.

15th	11 15th (11) (150/1 -355%) Pottersjetamay	150 150/1(-355%)	(11) Pottersjetamay 150/1, Well held in bumpers at Huntingdon (well backed) and Stratford (tongue tied) 6 months apart. Some ability in his first bumper but was tailed off in the second one; had wind op since.
16th	13 16th (13) (50/1 -100%) Tank Top	50 50/1(-100%)	(13) Tank Top 50/1, Scorpion gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Top Cloud, from good NH family. Yard has had a debut bumper winner this season and he needs checking in market.
17th	9 17th (9) (300/1 -200%) Master Hobbs	300 300/1(-200%)	(9) Master Hobbs 300/1, Some appeal on paper but showed nothing on debut at Kempton in February. Has had a breathing operation. Finished a tailed-off last at a big price in a Kempton bumper (2m, good) last February.
18th	17 18th (17) (300/1 -200%) Lady Haleth	300 300/1(-200%)	(17) Lady Haleth 300/1, Showed nothing at Wetherby on debut in November and looks set for another struggle. 25-1 on her Wetherby debut in November and she finished a tailed-off last of eight..

LTO Selection:

This represents a drop in grade for DIAMOND DICE following a respectable effort in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham in November. The son of Diamond Boy sets the standard on form, with Hereford third French Symphony and newcomer The Happy Chapati, a half-brother to The New One, looking best placed to chase him home. Completing the shortlist are I Play County, Land Of Moon and Off The Jury.

This will probably go to one of the newcomers and the betting could be revealing, with OFF THE JURY chanced first time up for Alan King, who had an impressive bumper winner here last month. The Happy Chapati and Royal Infantry are also interesting, while Diamond Dice is the pick of those with bumper form.

This looks wide open but Irish point winner OFF THE JURY gets the vote ahead of Diamond Dice and newcomer The Happy Chapati.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (11/2 -38%) Billytherealbigred	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(12) Billytherealbigred 11/2, From the family of useful chaser Storm Control and has shown some promise on both completed starts in junior hurdles. Into handicaps now armed with healthy 4-y-o allowance and could improve. Made the frame in two junior hurdles in the autumn; on slower ground for handicap debut.
2	13 2nd (13) (10/3 +67%) Robber's Bridge	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(13) Robber's Bridge 10/3, Poor maiden who ran one of his better races when third of 13 in handicap at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) 48 days ago. Back down in trip. Placed off this mark on four of last five outings and is versatile regarding ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 -155%) Hara Kiri	14 14/1(-155%)	(3) Hara Kiri 14/1, Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers and some promise to glean from his exploits in novice hurdles for Alex Hales early in 2022. Lengthy absence to overcome but no big surprise to see him hit the ground running now handicapping on debut for new yard. Makes stable/handicap debut after long absence but well worth a glance in the betting.
4	9 4th (9) (2/1 +60%) Lady Balko	2 2/1(+60%)	(9) Lady Balko 2/1, Has failed to trouble the judge in a trio of novice hurdles but this former point winner may well be seen in a better light now handicapping at a low level. Safely held in three novice hurdles but ought to fare better in low-grade handicaps.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -20%) One Eye On Vegas	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) One Eye On Vegas 12/1, Third on bumper debut in March 2021. Has failed to better modest form in a trio of hurdle starts after a long absence but he's the type to do better now handicapping. Ran well to a point in first two qualifying races; can improve in handicaps.
6th	5 6th (5) (15/2 -50%) Ingennio	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(5) Ingennio 15/2, Modest maiden who posted creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) 27 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Every chance with a repeat. 0-10 over hurdles but was close second to a next-time-out winner on heavy going last month.
7th	7 7th (7) (17/2 -31%) Embolden	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(7) Embolden 17/2, Largely consistent performer but didn't go about things in a straightforward manner when finishing third at Plumpton (15.9f) 23 days ago. Raced lazily in rear before staying on for third at Plumpton last month; others look safer.
8th	14 8th (14) (100/1 -52%) Milton Boy	100 100/1(-52%)	(14) Milton Boy 100/1, Has made little impact in 4 starts over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Plumpton last time. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Always behind when 66-1 for handicap debut; cheekpieces now added.
9th	8 9th (8) (150/1 -200%) Howdy Partner	150 150/1(-200%)	(8) Howdy Partner 150/1, Poor maiden who failed to complete for the third time from 5 starts in this sphere when unseating rider early on in a Ffos Las handicap a year ago (had breathing op prior). Absent since and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Unseated rider at fourth flight when 50-1 for handicap debut in late 2022; not seen since.
10th	4 10th (4) (12/1 -200%) Letthedustsettle	12 12/1(-200%)	(4) Letthedustsettle 12/1, Successful on his sole outing in points and has shaped with promise on the first 2 of his 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles in recent months. Longer trips may suit ideally but worth noting if the market speaks in his favour on this switch to a handicap. Kept on for third in heavy-ground maiden in November; handicap debut today.
11th	10 11th (10) (150/1 -355%) Invincible Wish	150 150/1(-355%)	(10) Invincible Wish 150/1, Veteran who has been absent since pulling up in a handicap chase at Stratford in July 2022. Best watched on this belated return. Absent since poor chase run in July 2022 and probably wants better ground.
12th	11 12th (11) (80/1 -60%) James Baie	80 80/1(-60%)	(11) James Baie 80/1, No great shakes in bumpers and has offered little in a trio of hurdle outings in recent months. Needs to show much more now sent handicapping in first-time cheekpieces. Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three novice/maiden hurdles.

LTO Selection:

INGENNIO was only narrowly beaten when second in a similarly modest handicap at Newcastle last month and, having now posted three respectable efforts on the bounce since being tried in cheekpieces, a change of fortune could be imminent for the Richard Hobson-trained six-year-old. Testing ground seems ideal for the selection and his proven liking for the forecast going earns him the nod over Embolden and Robber's Bridge, who appear to be the pick of the opposition.

HARA KIRI has a long absence to overcome but he's joined a yard whose runners rarely lack for fitness and, having shown promise in a trio of novice hurdles for Alex Hales he makes plenty of appeal from a modest opening mark. Billytherealbigred is another interesting handicap debutant, with Ingennio likely to be on the premises if reproducing his latest effort.

The pick is handicap debutant LETTHEDUSTSETTLE, who caught the eye making steady late headway in a heavy-ground maiden in November.

1	8 1st (8) (11/1 -57%) Rhasidat	11 11/1(-57%)	(8) Rhasidat 11/1, Winner at Dundalk in November. 7/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in claimer at Dundalk (7f) 40 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian McGuinness. Others more persuasive. The form of her Dundalk win isn't working out well; debut for new yard.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/1 +29%) Tea Leaf Ted	5 5/1(+29%)	(11) Tea Leaf Ted 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 13 in nursery at this C&D 28 days ago. Close third over C&D last month on AW debut; place claims.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -43%) Irrelevant	20 20/1(-43%)	(3) Irrelevant 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Last of 9 in nursery (8/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 67 days ago. Interesting back at Kempton, being 2-2 here for previous yard; third run for new stable.
4	10 4th (10) (15/2 -150%) Maverick Style	7.5 15/2(-150%)	(10) Maverick Style 15/2, Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Chelmsford City (7f, 15/2) 20 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Took well to first-time blinkers at Chelmsford three weeks ago; respected up 3lb.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/3 +17%) Majorelle Blue	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(1) Majorelle Blue 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 10 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f, 11/2) 20 days ago, no match for winner. Makes handicap debut. May do better again. Open to progress now handicapping and looks ready for a crack at this new trip.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +50%) Magnificent Match	4 4/1(+50%)	(5) Magnificent Match 4/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 11 in nursery at Lingfield (6f, AW) 28 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Possibilities if he improves for this extra furlong and change of headgear.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/2 +50%) Haya Taal	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(4) Haya Taal 9/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/2) 2 days ago. Shaped better than bare result at Newcastle on Monday; has C&D form.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 -71%) High Sport	12 12/1(-71%)	(6) High Sport 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 11 in nursery (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 46 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Respected. Improvement is entirely possible if she takes well to first-time visor.
9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 -67%) Fly Pass	20 20/1(-67%)	(7) Fly Pass 20/1, 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 8 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago. Fighting chance on best efforts but is an exposed sort, being 0-12.
10th	2 10th (2) (50/1 -79%) Pannonica	50 50/1(-79%)	(2) Pannonica 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in nursery (150/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 54 days ago, slowly away. Makes polytrack debut. Not particularly solid on overall form; others preferred.
11th	9 11th (9) (40/1 -186%) War Zone	40 40/1(-186%)	(9) War Zone 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 9 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 102 days. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask. May take another step forward now qualified for handicaps.

LTO Selection:

MAJORELLE BLUE filled the runner-up spot at Chelmsford just before Christmas and the manner of that performance suggested the extra furlong would play to her strengths. Maverick Style won on the same card the selection contested last time and she has to be of interest, despite a 3lb rise. Rhasidat won a nursery at Dundalk on her penultimate start and isn't one to discount on her UK debut for Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole.

MAVERICK STYLE showed improved form to get off the mark at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago, proving a lot more straightforward in first-time blinkers, and she's taken to defy a 3 lb rise. Majorelle Blue may do better again now switched to handicaps and is next best ahead of High Sport.

With progress looking plausible, MAJORELLE BLUE could well defy top weight. Maverick Style is second chioce.

2	10 2nd (10) (6/5 +76%) Time Patrol	1.2 6/5(+76%)	(10) Time Patrol 6/5, Modest gelding. Winner at Windsor in September. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 18/5) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Hood on 1st time. Respected in this company. Won on turf in September and placed over C&D two outings ago; in the mix.
3	8 3rd (8) (2/1 +20%) Sea The Buckthorn	2 2/1(+20%)	(8) Sea The Buckthorn 2/1, Unreliable type. 9/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Player on these terms. In-form maiden whose Boxing Day effort can be marked up; shortlist material.

9th	1 9th (1) (66/1 -313%) Canimar	66 66/1(-313%)	(1) Canimar 66/1, C&D winner. One win from 32 Flat runs. First run since leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis when last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 80/1) 15 days ago. C&D winner in 2021 but her 2022/2023 efforts represent a sharp dip in form.

LTO Selection:

HANNAH'S RETURN won over this distance at Wolverhampton two starts ago before dropping back to the minimum trip at the same venue and finishing less than a length away in third. Top-rated in the line-up, this represents an excellent opportunity for Gary Brown's mare to gain a fourth career victory. Sea The Buckthorn is capable of a decent showing, while a repeat of Penny Be's fourth at Lingfield last Thursday would give her every chance of going close.

HANNAH'S RETURN arrives at the top of her game and looks the one to beat on these terms back up in trip. Sea The Buckthorn and Time Patrol are others to consider.

In-form mare HANNAH'S RETURN (nap) looks the strongest option. Sea The Buckthorn is second choice.

2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 -11%) Lupset Flossy Pop	5 5/1(-11%)	(7) Lupset Flossy Pop 5/1, Modest filly. One win from 23 Flat runs. 14/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 37 days ago.

6th	10 6th (10) (3/1 +45%) Safe Passage	3 3/1(+45%)	(10) Safe Passage 3/1, Modest mare who turned in her best effort of the season when 2 lengths second of 10 to Marchetti in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. In-form maiden who ran well behind Marchetti over C&D most recently; in the mix.

Expected to be bang there again with a repeat. C&D winner last month, beating Safe Passage by 2l and finally opening her account.
8th	5 8th (5) (6/1 +33%) Hawajes	6 6/1(+33%)	(5) Hawajes 6/1, Modest gelding. Has made little impact in handicaps but has possibilities judged on some of his earlier form in novices. Switch to classified grade is a possible source of improvement.

11th	1 11th (1) (150/1 -50%) Apple Gin	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Apple Gin 150/1, Looks of little account. Latest heavy defeat has earned her a BHA mark of just 27; poor claims.

LTO Selection:

MARCHETTI clearly benefitted from wind surgery when scoring by two lengths over course and distance from Safe Passage last month.The former is taken to confirm that form, with the pair meeting on effectively the same terms here. Essme could be the main danger to the selection given that her most recent effort at Lingfield can be upgraded after being hampered leaving the stalls.

MARCHETTI ran out a decisive winner in a well-run race over C&D 3 weeks ago and could take a bit of stopping if turning up in similar form. Ballybaymoonshiner and Lupset Flossy Pop head the dangers.

Judged on peak form, LUPSET FLOSSY POP holds particularly good claims at this level. Second choice is Ballybaymoonshiner.

12th	10 12th (10) (14/1 +0%) Hildenley	14 14/1(+0%)	(10) Hildenley 14/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 18/1) when last seen 11 months ago. Significantly down in trip for polytrack/stable debut (has left Tim Easterby). Changed hands since last seen a year ago; back down in trip; check the market for clues..

LTO Selection:

The return to a mile looks sure to suit Laura's Breeze who lost nothing in defeat when going down by a neck here last week and she could make her presence felt off an unchanged handicap mark. Recuerdame has been largely consistent in handicaps throughout the winter but will need the cards to fall in his favour to score here. Preference is for GOT NO DOLLARS who ran well when finishing fourth from a wide draw here recently and he may take advantage of the step back up in trip.

LAURA'S BREEZE found only a course specialist too good here last week so is the obvious choice to go one better from the same mark. Got No Dollars is a consistent sort who seems likely to give another good account, with Recuerdame also in the mix having shaped as if still in good form from a less-than-ideal position on his most recent outing at Lingfield.

It may be worth siding with LAURA'S BREEZE, who could do with settling better but may prove tough to beat if she can.

Dam, 7f/1m winner, half-sister to high-class winner up to 14.6f Masked Marvel from a very good family. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Siyouni colt; one of two newcomers for this stable; shortlisted.
4	9 4th (9) (6/1 +8%) West Hollywood	6 6/1(+8%)	(9) West Hollywood 6/1, Uncle Mo colt. Half-brother to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Pizza Bianca. Dam, unraced, closely related to Derby winner Pour Moi and Gagnoa, placed in Irish and French Oaks, from an excellent family. Uncle Mo half-brother to a BC winner; yard also runs Condor Pasa; market helpful.
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 -25%) Ghostlore	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(6) Ghostlore 15/2, €260,000 yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to very smart winner up to 1m Duke of Hazzard and 1m winner Vega Star. Dam, French 7.5f/1m winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Palace Episode. Wears hood. One to note. 260,000euros yearling; by Frankel; wears hood on debut; check the betting.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/1 -260%) Bursinel	18 18/1(-260%)	(2) Bursinel 18/1, Fastnet Rock gelding. Brother to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Rivet, useful winner up to 1¼m Out And About and useful 1m-1¼m winner Amanzoe. Dam winner up to 8.3f (2-y-o 7f winner). Noteworthy newcomer. Sibling to eight winners, mostly for his yard; already gelded but he's nicely bred.
7th	1 7th (1) (25/1 -108%) Advert Rules	25 25/1(-108%)	(1) Advert Rules 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, fourth of 10 in novice at this C&D 35 days ago. One of the main form contenders, having outrun his 200-1 odds over C&D last time.

LTO Selection:

EL CORDOBES was soundly beaten into sixth on debut over course and distance last month but was sent off favourite, so clearly better was expected from the Frankel colt and he could open his account here with that experience expected to bring him on. Advert Rules ran well when fourth here last month and is open to plenty of improvement after only two starts. A big run can also be expected from Morning Light, who sports first-time blinkers after boiling over in the parade ring at Doncaster on debut and she shaped like the application of headgear would suit at this track on her most recent start. A smart effort would be required from both Bursinel and Calculate to get off the mark on debut in this competitive contest.

EL CORDOBES made no more than an adequate debut considering his price-tag and spot at the top of the betting when sixth over C&D 5 weeks ago but he can put that experience to good use up against some interesting newcomers, including Bursinel and Condor Pasa.

The pick of the runners with experience is EL CORDOBES. Condor Pasa and West Hollywood are shortlisted newcomers.

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (9/4 +18%) Wait And Hope	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(6) Wait And Hope 9/4, Showed ability in maiden/novice events at up to 7f in the autumn and appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps. Might prove the answer. Likely slower pace over this longer trip may help and he's not ruled out..
2	3 2nd (3) (15/8 +44%) Claxton Bay	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(3) Claxton Bay 15/8, Fair maiden. Shaped like a non stayer over 1¼m at Chelmsford (10f) 27 days ago and treated as if still in form. Given a chance by the handicapper. 0-6; drops 3lb and back in trip; player if that helps but has that to prove..
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 -180%) Juan Solo	7 7/1(-180%)	(2) Juan Solo 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) 50 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Respected under Tom Marquand. Initial mark looks a little stiff but if he can improve again he's a player..
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -29%) Dandy Sands	9 9/1(-29%)	(5) Dandy Sands 9/1, Down the field in 3 outings in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien but more chance now handicapping for new stable. One to note in the betting. More promising effort latest; since changed hands; check market for confidence..
5th	1 5th (1) (18/1 -13%) Yeah Nah	18 18/1(-13%)	(1) Yeah Nah 18/1, Winner on 6f Salisbury debut for Richard Hannon but has struggled since, including in AW handicaps for new yard last twice. First-time cheekpieces need to spark her back to life. Has gone backwards since debut win; headgear needs to have a significant effect..
6th	4 6th (4) (5/1 -25%) Wadacre Icarus	5 5/1(-25%)	(4) Wadacre Icarus 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/5, eighth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) 23 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Type to do better at some stage. May improve now stepping up in trip for handicap debut and wouldn't need much to figure..

LTO Selection:

This drop back to a mile can help Claxton Bay, who faded in the straight over 10 furlongs at Chelmsford last month. Better can also be expected from the less-exposed WADACRE ICARUS on his first try in a handicap, with the step up to a mile looking like it will suit Charlie Johnston's colt and he gets a tentative vote. The step up in trip also promises to suit Wait And Hope, who has come up against some smart horses for the grade over 6f at Newcastle on his last two starts.

A chance is taken on Karl Burke handicap newcomer WAIT AND HOPE, who is bred to be a good bit better than an opening mark in the mid-60s. Claxton Bay had lack of stamina as an excuse over 1¼m at Chelmsford last time and is now 3 lb lower than when third at Wolverhampton in November so he's second choice ahead of Juan Solo, the mount of Tom Marquand.

The suggestion is WADACRE ICARUS, who can improve for this step up in trip and make a winning handicap debut.

9	9 (9) (80/1 -186%) River Chat	80 80/1(-186%)	(9) River Chat 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, showed a bit more than on debut when third of 5 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in July. Step up in trip rates a plus on return but low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag. Only a modest third at Wolverhampton last time out but this longer trip may suit.
1	7 1st (7) (9/1 -170%) Running The Game	9 9/1(-170%)	(7) Running The Game 9/1, Fair form in trio of maidens on Flat in France and shaped better than bare result in pair of juvenile hurdles for present yard this winter. Has the ability to play a hand returned to this sphere. Disappointing in both hurdles starts for new yard; showed ability on Flat in France.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +0%) Birthday Angel	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(4) Birthday Angel 5/2, Promising type. Fourth of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 40/1) on debut 28 days ago. Should progress. Promising debut at Lingfield; form boosted since; leading contender at the weights.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -75%) Reason To Pass	14 14/1(-75%)	(6) Reason To Pass 14/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, seventh of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/1) on debut 34 days ago, held when meeting some trouble inside final 1f. Should have more to offer. Shaped with a glimmer of promise at Chelmsford; may do better.
4	3 4th (3) (250/1 -150%) Amico Amore	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Amico Amore 250/1, No show in pair of bumpers towards end of 2022 and can only be watched on this belated Flat debut. Beaten long way in two bumpers.
5th	5 5th (5) (150/1 -50%) Green Go	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Green Go 150/1, showed a bit on his first outing when fifth of 8 in maiden (7/1) at Leicester (7f, heavy) in May but sold cheaply after and offered little when tailed-off last of 12 to Popcorn Magic in Lingfield novice (10f) 53 days ago. Can only be watched. Ran dismally in the Lingfield race won by Popcorn Magic.
6th	8 6th (8) (150/1 -88%) Spun Silver	150 150/1(-88%)	(8) Spun Silver 150/1, Showed little when last of 11 on debut in a Huntingdon bumper (13.7f) in November and passed over now attentions switch to this sphere. Tailed-off last in bumper.
7th	1 7th (1) (33/1 -65%) Stenatee	33 33/1(-65%)	(1) Stenatee 33/1, Successful only start on Flat in France (at 17f) but offered little in trio of starts over hurdles for Gary Moore this winter. Tough to assess on that basis now returning to the level for new yard. Tongue tie refitted. Poor results over hurdles for Gary Moore; wide-margin Flat winner on sole French outing.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (2/5 +60%) Popcorn Magic	0.4 2/5(+60%)	(2) Popcorn Magic 2/5, Promising sort. 10/1, won 12-runner event at Lingfield (10f, AW) on debut 53 days ago, stayed on to lead last ½f and well on top finish. Sound claims with progress anticipated. Winning debut at Lingfield in November; open to progress; respected under 7lb penalty.

LTO Selection:

Popcorn Magic made a promising start to his career when winning cosily at Lingfield over 1m2f most recently and holds obvious claims here. However, BIRTHDAY ANGEL also ran with plenty of promise on debut when finishing fourth over that same C&D, keeping on all the way to the line. That form has been well advertised since, with the second-placed horse subsequently running with credit in a Listed race and, consequently, Archie Watson's charge gets the vote here. Reason To Pass may improve for the experience of his first run and shouldn't be dismissed.

POPCORN MAGIC overcame a wide draw/signs of greenness and marked himself down as a useful prospect when landing a 12-runner Lingfield novice on debut 53 days ago. With progress anticipated, he can follow-up under a penalty. Birthday Angel and Running The Game following a spell over hurdles may emerge as the lead dangers.

In terms of British form, Popcorn Magic and BIRTHDAY ANGEL hold the strongest claims, with slight preference for the latter.

1	1 1st (1) (5/2 -25%) Composite	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(1) Composite 5/2, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 12-runner maiden at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 23 days ago, well on top finish. Should have more to offer. Won at Wolverhampton last time and looks open to further progress; major player.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +40%) Rogue Lion	3 3/1(+40%)	(6) Rogue Lion 3/1, Roaring Lion colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1½m Scarlet Dragon and winner up to 1¼m Commander Cole, both smart. Found wanting for know-how when a sedate pace lifted on her Nottingham debut back in the spring and is the type to do much better having been gelded. Modest form when fourth at Nottingham last April; gelded since; check the betting.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/4 -20%) Lartigue	1.5 6/4(-20%)	(4) Lartigue 6/4, Well backed and showed plenty of ability when second of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) on debut 32 days ago. Open to improvement. Promising second, one place in front of Composite, at Wolverhampton on debut; respected.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 -33%) Little Peter	6 6/1(-33%)	(2) Little Peter 6/1, Fair bumper winner who produced a promising first effort in this sphere when second of 9 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f, 66/1) on Flat debut 20 days ago, clear of rest. Has to enter calculations. Bumper winner; clear second at Southwell on the switch to this code; in the mix.
5th	3 5th (3) (28/1 -211%) Escarpment	28 28/1(-211%)	(3) Escarpment 28/1, Fairly useful maiden. First run since leaving Freddie & Martyn Meade when last of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and needs to recapture the pick of his form. Still has something to prove beyond 1m; second run for new connections.
6th	9 6th (9) (50/1 -79%) Starspangledsammy	50 50/1(-79%)	(9) Starspangledsammy 50/1, Showed a bit in a junior bumper at Huntingdon in November. Makes Flat debut. Showed some ability in Huntingdon bumper but the form isn't compelling.
7th	7 7th (7) (250/1 -279%) Sullivan Bay	250 250/1(-279%)	(7) Sullivan Bay 250/1, Down the field both starts in this sphere and showed more temperament than ability when pulled up in a juvenile hurdle (150/1) at Kempton (16f, soft) on NH debut 14 days ago. Not solid on Irish Flat efforts; pulled up in juvenile hurdle for new yard.
8th	8 8th (8) (250/1 -150%) Miss Billie	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Miss Billie 250/1, Well held in 2 minor events. Off 159 days. Significantly up in trip. Poor claims on her 7f/1m efforts last summer.
9th	5 9th (5) (200/1 -300%) Reign Of Thunder	200 200/1(-300%)	(5) Reign Of Thunder 200/1, Linda's Lad gelding. Dam, winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 8.6f winner), also won over hurdles. Newcomer by Linda's Lad; stable has poor strike-rate at novice level.

LTO Selection:

LARTIGUE made a promising start to his career when finishing second at Wolverhampton after displaying signs of inexperience. With that outing under his belt, it would be no surprise to see Karl Burke's colt go one better, especially as the third, Composite, who reopposes, got off the mark here subsequently and now has to give the selection 7lb. Little Peter outran his odds when runner-up on his Flat debut at Southwell and has to be respected, while a gelding operation might aid the cause of Rogue Lion.

COMPOSITE was well on top at the line when opening his account at Wolverhampton last month and, with his useful pedigree providing plenty of hope for better still, he's taken to defy a penalty. Lartigue and Little Peter are considered the main threats, though Rogue Lion appeals as the type to leave his debut form well behind and shouldn't be overlooked.

Wolverhampton runner-up LARTIGUE is taken to go one better and confirm placings with Composite.

1	2 1st (2) (13/2 +24%) Premiere Beauty	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(2) Premiere Beauty 13/2, Latest win at Lingfield in August. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, headed entering final 1f. Remains less exposed than most on AW. Beaten 1l (C&D) latest; interesting if putting inconsistency behind her and backing up..
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +25%) Dicko The Legend	3 3/1(+25%)	(5) Dicko The Legend 3/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (5/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 20 days ago, going on over 1f out and pushed out. Turned over a new leaf since dropped back to sprint trips and respected again from handy draw. Up 6lb and in grade after latest win but recent progress suggests he might cope with that..
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 +50%) Heartrate	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(3) Heartrate 7/2, Latest win at Ffos Las in September. 10/1, reverting back to sprinting, finished creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 20 days ago. Fancied to be thereabouts again. Not totally exposed and handled Polytrack in Ireland; should be thereabouts..
4	11 4th (11) (20/1 +0%) Munificent	20 20/1(+0%)	(11) Munificent 20/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in September. Last of 11 in handicap back at that venue (7.2f, 14/1) 11 days ago, the run best excused having been hampered start. Good pace to aim at will suit returned to 6f here. Back on a winning mark but yet to prove as effective when racing beyond the minimum trip..
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 -56%) Kensington Agent	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Kensington Agent 25/1, Course winner. Four wins from 10 runs last year. Last of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 69 days ago, ridden over 2f out and one paced. May be sharper with that run under her belt and mark is steadily easing. Back on a more competitive mark but needs to be much better than her latest effort..
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -501%) Global Warning	20 20/1(-501%)	(8) Global Warning 20/1, 13/8, capitalised on much-reduced mark when taking 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 31 days ago, soon clear. Claims in follow-up bid for all his best efforts in recent months have come at that venue. Eased-down winner latest but placed in 3-16 starts on Polytrack; up 8lb; bit to prove..
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 -85%) Sir Rodneyredblood	12 12/1(-85%)	(9) Sir Rodneyredblood 12/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Dead-heated in 9-runner handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford (6f) 20 days ago, leading final 1f and joined line. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again. Dead-heated at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) latest; up 3lb but not ruled out..
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -100%) Impeach	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Impeach 40/1, Latest win at Chelmsford (6f) in November. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 16/1) 21 days ago, in rear and never landing a blow. Others more persuasive for win purposes on balance. Never involved at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) latest; not ruled out if he can bounce back..
9th	7 9th (7) (13/2 +7%) Abolish	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(7) Abolish 13/2, One win from 25 Flat runs on these shores. Fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/3) 56 days ago, not clear run briefly 2f out and no extra final 1f. Handicapper has afforded him a chance but losing run is mounting up. Triple winner; half-sister won on Polytrack; has the form to go close if acting on it..
10th	10 10th (10) (9/1 -38%) Pablo Del Pueblo	9 9/1(-38%)	(10) Pablo Del Pueblo 9/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 10 days ago, leading over 3f out and headed near line. Handy draw to operate from but he may face competition on the front end back up at 6f. Went close latest; has won over 6f; place claims if holding his form..
11th	1 11th (1) (9/1 +18%) Airshow	9 9/1(+18%)	(1) Airshow 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 40/1) 12 days ago, no extra close home. May be that little bit sharper with that under his belt (first start for 12 weeks) and usual cheekpieces refitted. Draw could have been kinder. Ran creditably on return from break last time and looks a likely player.

LTO Selection:

DICKO THE LEGEND ran out an impressive winner when producing a career-best effort at Chelmsford last month and a 6lb rise is unlikely to stop the four-year-old from progressing further. Global Warning justified strong market support when scoring at Wolverhampton on his latest start and dropping in trip shouldn't be a major concern. Others to consider are Sir Rodneyredblood and Heartrate.

An open-looking finale with the narrow vote in favour of HEARTRATE. He quickly returned to form when third behind an improving sort at Southwell 3 weeks ago and he's fancied to go well operating from the same mark. Last-time-out winners Dicko The Legend and Global Warning are others to consider.

The suggestion is to stick with the improving DICKO THE LEGEND, who can make further progress up in grade.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
