1	5 1st (5) (10/1 -122%) Be Fierce		10 10/1(-122%)																															(5) Be Fierce 10/1, Outpaced and possibly found the ground a bit quick when down the field in a handicap chase at Killarney last time; returns from a break and is effective around 2m with some cut; may do better this time. Both wins at Tramore, absent since tailed off in a handicap chase at Killarney last August.
2	12 2nd (12) (15/8 +53%) Where Are You Now		1.875 15/8(+53%)																															(12) Where Are You Now 15/8, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; effective at 2m with cut in the ground and may do better now handicapping. May need further but worth a market check to see if his opening mark tempts backers.
3	10 3rd (10) (4/1 +75%) Couldntmakeitup		4 4/1(+75%)																															(10) Couldntmakeitup 4/1, Made mistakes and was unsuited by soft ground when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and was in fair form before that run. Mid-field in a 2m4f handicap at Fairyhouse a month ago; others preferred..
4	11 4th (11) (5/1 +23%) Jumble Light		5 5/1(+23%)																															(11) Jumble Light 5/1, Outpaced and looked in need of further when fourth, beaten 15l, in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2m on good ground; fairly treated on maiden form and could do better over further. Satisfactory fourth behind the in-form Spinola Bay at Navan last month, worth considering.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +76%) Trebizond		12 12/1(+76%)																															(3) Trebizond 12/1, Below his best on return from a lengthy absence when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface but must prove what ability remains. Fair form in Ireland and Britain early in his career, showed up well enough on comeback.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -11%) Mo Ghille Mar		20 20/1(-11%)																															(4) Mo Ghille Mar 20/1, Produced a poor run when tried in a tongue-tie and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface and needs to bounce back. Useful Flat h'capper for Jessica Harrington, weak hurdles form, tailed off on stable debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 +47%) Walk On Annilog		4 4/1(+47%)																															(8) Walk On Annilog 4/1, Had too much to do having conceded first run and needed the outing when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective at 2m on good ground, consistent in maidens and may improve. Can be given an each-way chance in this company following a lively display at Leopardstown.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 +15%) Metamorpheus		28 28/1(+15%)																															(7) Metamorpheus 28/1, Made no impact from off the pace when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective at 2m and suited by a decent surface; well treated on old juvenile form but a frustrating type. No further success since winning a maiden hurdle over C&D three years ago, tough task.
9th	1 9th (1) (33/1 -18%) Black Soul		33 33/1(-18%)																															(1) Black Soul 33/1, Again below form when back hurdling and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface and needs to bounce back. Point and maiden hurdle winner, faded from two out on recent stable debut at Tramore.

ZUZUKEL was narrowly beaten here in November and has obvious claims. Although a 13-race maiden, the son of Frankel showed some promise on the Flat and produced a much improved jumps performance on his latest start. He is 4lb higher, but his rider claims 4lb. Be Fierce hasn't run since a disappointing chase effort in August, but he has winning hurdles form and is suited by heavy ground. He is rated 7lb higher over fences and should compete on his reappearance. Jumble Light offered more encouragement at Navan last month, while Where Are You Now is open to plenty of progression and debuts in handicaps.

A 100-1 chance when contesting her first handicap at Leopardstown, WALK ON ANNILOG is put forward as an each-way option

1	7 1st (7) (2/1 -7%) Loaded And Locked		2 2/1(-7%)																															(7) Loaded And Locked 2/1, Raced a bit wide but ran to form when 11l third in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on good to soft or good; holds a good chance in this. H'dle debut form reads very well in today's context; didn't see out 2m3f here subsequently.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 -67%) Glancing Jack		20 20/1(-67%)																															(5) Glancing Jack 20/1, Ran to form under a penalty when comfortably held in an amateurs' bumper at Worcester last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m on good to soft or good; brings promise to hurdles. Won on the first of his two bumper starts; could have a part to play on hurdle debut.
3	10 3rd (10) (66/1 -200%) Western Cross		66 66/1(-200%)																															(10) Western Cross 66/1, Took a step back from a promising debut when down the field in a bumper here last time. Effective at 2m on good ground; may do better now hurdling. Retains potential but makes hurdle debut with others higher up the pecking order.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +10%) Race To Base		3 3/1(+10%)																															(2) Race To Base 3/1, Keen and outpaced but improved again when 7 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Aintree on latest start. Effective at 2m on good ground; form of hurdle debut franked and looks progressive, may stay a bit further. Won over C&D then third of three in hot little novice at Aintree; respected under penalty.
5th	13 5th (13) (40/1 -186%) Lady Magic		40 40/1(-186%)																															(13) Lady Magic 40/1, Ran to form when winning a bumper at Le Lion-D'Angers by 1 1/4l last time. Effective over 12f on soft and good; dual French bumper winner with more to come over hurdles. Two French bumper wins; brings potential to British debut & she's one to be interested in.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 -340%) Guardami Ancora		33 33/1(-340%)																															(6) Guardami Ancora 33/1, Improved when second, beaten 2l, in a novice hurdle at Taunton last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and capable of better again. Might have won at Taunton but for a final-flight stumble; he's in with a chance.
7th	14 7th (14) (14/1 -115%) Donegal		14 14/1(-115%)																															(14) Donegal 14/1, Made a promising debut when second, beaten a neck, in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster last time. Effective at 2m1f on good to soft; open to further progress over hurdles. Went close in juvenile hurdle on British debut; might not be far away.
8th	3 8th (3) (300/1 -100%) Ahanaglogh		300 300/1(-100%)																															(3) Ahanaglogh 300/1, Outpaced and never involved when well beaten on debut in a novice hurdle at Chepstow last time. Likely to need further than 2m over hurdles. Displayed ability in points but tailed off at triple-figure odds on both hurdle runs.
9th	4 9th (4) (250/1 -150%) Boston Savr		250 250/1(-150%)																															(4) Boston Savr 250/1, Showed improvement from debut but never threatened when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Haydock last time. May need more time and further. Took step forward on second start but it was still a long way short of what's needed today.
10th	12 10th (12) (150/1 -50%) Glancing Back		150 150/1(-50%)																															(12) Glancing Back 150/1, Too free and comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Off a short break; bred to be effective from 2m to 2m4f but has shown little so far. Unable to threaten when sixth at triple-figure odds in her two maiden hurdles.
11th	11 11th (11) (300/1 -200%) Ciao Bellisima		300 300/1(-200%)																															(11) Ciao Bellisima 300/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby on her only start. Type to do better once qualified for handicaps. Backed at big prices but soundly beaten eighth of 14 on debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day.
12th	9 12th (9) (300/1 -100%) Triple Haych		300 300/1(-100%)																															(9) Triple Haych 300/1, Found little when well beaten down the field in a novice hurdle here last time. Hard to fancy in this company. Well beaten at 150-1 over C&D on last month's rules debut.
13th	8 13th (8) (300/1 -100%) Lootenay		300 300/1(-100%)																															(8) Lootenay 300/1, Keen, green and made mistakes when down the field in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m; may need more time over hurdles. No threat in either bumper and well beaten on both hurdle starts.
1	1 |RO| (1) (5/2 +25%) Looping D'arc		2.5 5/2(+25%)																															(1) Looping D'arc 5/2, Quickened clear comfortably, very promising debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Southwell by 4 1/4l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on GS; bumper form looks strong, should progress over hurdles. Did it comfortably on hurdle debut at Southwell; could have plenty more left in the tank.

RACE TO BASE impressed here when getting off the mark over timber in November before facing a stiff enough task against a pair of promising novices at Aintree. That said, he still wasn't disgraced and the six-year-old can prove too strong for Looping D'arc, who made a winning start to life over hurdles at Southwell last month. Guardami Ancora and Lady Magic are others to note.

Point and bumper winner LOADED AND LOCKED should be getting off the mark over hurdles sooner rather than later and earns the vote.

2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 -23%) Alasrae		2 2/1(-23%)																															(3) Alasrae 2/1, Back to form when fourth beaten 2l in a nursery here last time; wears blinkers for the first time; trainer in form; effective over 5f to 6f on the all-weather and generally consistent. 0-7 but he hasn't had much luck recently and was an eyecatcher over C&D latest; respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +25%) Comprador		3 3/1(+25%)																															(4) Comprador 3/1, No Nay Never colt; full-brother to Trillium, smart at 5f as 2yo; dam very smart at 8f at 2yo; probably need the experience, as many newcomers from the yard do. Well-related newcomer who needs a close look in the market.
4	6 4th (6) (17/2 -55%) Tactical Blitz		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(6) Tactical Blitz 17/2, Needed run when beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden at Wolverhampton on debut; speed in pedigree; drop in trip may help. Well held on recent Wolverhampton debut and needs plenty of progress dropped in trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -100%) Charging Bull		11 11/1(-100%)																															(1) Charging Bull 11/1, Too keen, step back from debut after a year off comfortably held in a novice at Chelmsford last time; top course trainer; effective at 6f on AW; should come on for return. Unexposed 4yo but he flopped on his comeback at Chelmsford last month; bit to prove.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -257%) No Drama Mama		100 100/1(-257%)																															(7) No Drama Mama 100/1, Outpaced when beaten 9 1/4l in a novice here last time; looks the type to improve when switched to handicaps. Well held in both runs last month and minor handicaps will be more like it.

It is not the most daunting standard set by Alasrae, but he's posted a number of positive efforts in defeat so far and perhaps the addition of blinkers can elicit some improvement. However, it might be worth chancing newcomer COMPRADOR. The No Nay Never colt is related to a host of smart individuals, most notably the speedy Trillium, and he won't need to be anything near that level to scoop this prize. Charging Bull is also noted.

Preference is for ALASRAE, who hasn't had much luck for his current yard and was an eyecatching fourth over C&D 12 days ago.

Effective at 2m on heavy or good ground and should improve stepping up in trip. Shock bumper winner on good ground at Cork last March, mid-field on hurdling debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/7 +86%) Poetisa		0.571429 4/7(+86%)																															(9) Poetisa 4/7, The yard won this race last year. Not clear run but showed promise when a neck winner in a mares' bumper at Cheltenham on debut. Returns from a long layoff, effective at 2m1f on good ground, and brings potential to hurdles. Bought for £300,000 after debut win at Cheltenham in May, form has taken several knocks.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +40%) Forceonmyown		6 6/1(+40%)																															(4) Forceonmyown 6/1, Ran to form on hurdles debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Had been in good form prior and looks effective from 2m to 2m4f with cut; more to come. Course winner of a six-runner bumper 12 months ago, possibly needed recent Limerick run.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 +20%) Carrigmoorna Beech		20 20/1(+20%)																															(2) Carrigmoorna Beech 20/1, Again below form when fourth, beaten 21l, in a bumper at Cork last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 2m with plenty of cut and may show improvement now switching to hurdles. Ground was testing when she won readily at Gowran last January, questions to answer now.
5th	11 5th (11) (200/1 -60%) Thecouncillorswife		200 200/1(-60%)																															(11) Thecouncillorswife 200/1, No show from off the pace when down the field in a maiden hurdle here last time.

7th	8 7th (8) (250/1 -100%) Nothing Da Now		250 250/1(-100%)																															(8) Nothing Da Now 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and could do better once handicapping. Poor form in bumpers and maiden hurdles, headgear combination tried now..
10	10 |F| (10) (4/1 +78%) Susie Lenglen		4 4/1(+78%)																															(10) Susie Lenglen 4/1, Produced a fair run back over hurdles when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Had been in good form prior; trainer is in form; effective at 2m4f on yielding ground and capable of better. Won a six-runner bumper at Tramore, fair fifth at Naas four weeks ago; place chance now..
3	3 |F| (3) (17/2 +87%) Doing It In Style		8.5 17/2(+87%)																															(3) Doing It In Style 17/2, Built on her debut when fourth, beaten 8l, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective around 2m on soft or heavy ground and has more to come. Has shown enough to suggest she can pick up a race of some description, tough task here.
12	12 |PU| (12) (200/1 -60%) Wings Of Africa		200 200/1(-60%)																															(12) Wings Of Africa 200/1, Made a modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles on her only start. Has plenty to prove. Struggling a long way from home on debut at Thurles in November, can be ruled out.

It was disappointing that Champion Bumper winner BAMBINO FEVER went under on her hurdling debut, but she remains a fine prospect for jumps. Undefeated in four bumpers, including twice at Grade 1 level, she may have needed the run when beaten by smart performer Oldschool Outlaw at Naas, with the third scoring next time. Willie Mullins also saddles Poetisa, who was bought for 300,000 pounds following her debut bumper win at Cheltenham last April but although she could be smart, she debuts over jumps against the race-fit selection. Bumper winners Forceonmyown and Susie Lenglen were each well enough held in recent maidens.

Last season's outstanding bumper performer BAMBINO FEVER can show that her Naas maiden hurdle defeat was just a minor blip

Third on British debut at Exeter and could settle better in a first-time hood; considered.

Has shown some ability but others have more substance to their form.
5th	12 5th (12) (100/1 -25%) Raging Al		100 100/1(-25%)																															(12) Raging Al 100/1, Too keen and again ran to a moderate level when down the field in a novice hurdle here last time; usually held up and may improve once handicapping.

8th	4 8th (4) (66/1 0%) Cote D'ange		66 66/1(0%)																															(4) Cote D'ange 66/1, Again ran to a modest level when down the field in a novice hurdle at Stratford last time; trainer in form but hard to fancy after a short break. Things may click at some point but he's been well beaten over hurdles on both starts.
9th	9 9th (9) (300/1 -100%) Lovis De Sceaux		300 300/1(-100%)																															(9) Lovis De Sceaux 300/1, Produced another poor effort when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 2m on good ground but yet to show much over hurdles. Runner-up in bumper here last April but a long way below that level subsequently.
10th	3 10th (3) (33/1 +67%) Cooler Than Me		33 33/1(+67%)																															(3) Cooler Than Me 33/1, Failed to make an impact from off the pace when dropped in trip and well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kempton last time; stays 3m in points and looks up against it.

VOL ROYALE benefited from dropping in trip and front-running tactics when a comfortable winner over C&D last month and the six-year-old probably wouldn't need to improve from that display to double up. Aguellid has a hood applied after racing keenly on his first start in the UK at Exeter, which may aid his cause. Peter's Last Deal appeals most of the remainder.

This looks weaker than division one and AGUELLID could benefit from the hood on his second run for JP McManus. Vol Royale is feared.

MIDNIGHT CALL followed up her handicap win at Wolverhampton with a victory at this level at the same venue 10 days ago and, on that evidence, the in-form five-year-old could make it a hat-trick here. Autumn Angel was narrowly denied on her most recent outing and has to be of interest, while Beauzon is the clear pick of the remainder.

With the form of her Wolverhampton wins franked by the second-place finishers since, MIDNIGHT CALL could well complete a hat-trick.

SEAN MC was runner-up to a subsequent winner on just his second handicap start last month and can win from his revised rating. Out of a half-sister to his trainer's high-class Accordion Etoile, the selection's form was initially poor but he showed improvement at Fairyhouse, where he was the subject of a morning gamble. He is 3lb higher but is suited by conditions. Kinturk Nelson is a lightly-raced seven-year-old who ran reasonably well on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse, while Sarandon offered some encouragement on her handicap bow at Cork and steps up in trip.

It is hard to get away from SEAN MAC (nap) after the form of his Fairyhouse second was boosted by the winner at Naas on Friday

Trainer in form. Effective at 2m4f and has dropped in the weights. Needs to build on his recent revival. Beaten on last 11 starts but went close at Ludlow latest; in the mix if backing it up.

Returning from a long layoff; consistent in maidens, acts on soft or good to soft ground, and may improve over further in handicaps. 3m point runner-up who could be a big improver up in trip for his handicap/chase debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 0%) Ede'iffs Rock		10 10/1(0%)																															(8) Ede'iffs Rock 10/1, Fell in a Wincanton handicap chase last time when still travelling well. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and handles any ground. Has a chance if none the worse for that fall. Two chase wins last season; in front when falling five out on return; could be in shake-up.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 +21%) Zestful Hope		22 22/1(+21%)																															(7) Zestful Hope 22/1, Below form comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time; effective 2m4f, acts on S, G; remains 3lb above last win mark. Two wins last year, including here, but he's failed to shine on his last three starts.
1	1 |PU| (1) (5/1 -25%) Noahsgreatrainbow		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Noahsgreatrainbow 5/1, Showed a good attitude when well on top late, winning a handicap by 6l off a 6lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Effective around 2m4f on soft or good ground and looks capable of better still over fences. Won on handicap/chase debut at Wincanton and could take a 6lb rise in his stride.
10	10 |PU| (10) (8/1 +33%) The Magus		8 8/1(+33%)																															(10) The Magus 8/1, Ran to form when 8 1/4l third in a Taunton handicap chase last time. Effective from 2m4f to 2m7f and acts on good ground. Could have more to come. Third on both chase starts and could have more to offer over fences; each-way claims.
5	5 |PU| (5) (9/1 +73%) Gold For Alec		9 9/1(+73%)																															(5) Gold For Alec 9/1, Moderate on first run over fences when well beaten in a Warwick handicap chase. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground but needs to find improvement. Tailed off on chase debut at Warwick; needs to leave that latest performance miles behind.
4	4 |PU| (4) (11/1 -38%) The Winslow Boy		11 11/1(-38%)																															(4) The Winslow Boy 11/1, Returned to form on chase debut after a wind operation, finishing an 11l third in a Chepstow handicap. This is his second run after wind surgery and he should come on for the outing. Effective at 2m on soft or good ground.

Rodney made it third-time lucky over the larger obstacles at Leicester, but a 7lb rise will require more of him and NOAHSGREATRAINBOW may prove the safer option. Things didn't go to plan over hurdles after a promising bumper campaign that saw him finish second in a Listed contest at Newbury. However, he seems to have turned the corner recently, winning on his chase debut at Wincanton, and he may well continue to progress. Pepe Le Moko completes the shortlist.

Having won in good style on his chase and handicap debut at Wincanton last month, NOAHSGREATRAINBOW can make it 2-2 over fences.

Capable of being involved but remains a longstanding maiden.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/5 +56%) Mount Mogan		2.2 11/5(+56%)																															(4) Mount Mogan 11/5, Did not get the best of runs and ran below form when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; had been in good form prior; suited by 7f or 8f with all recent form on the all-weather; needs more. Course regular who holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form.

Close second to Jackson Street over C&D last time; major contender.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -32%) Mishy's Star		66 66/1(-32%)																															(8) Mishy's Star 66/1, Didn't find much when tried in cheekpieces and was beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; effective 6f or 7f on the all-weather; drop in trip may suit. Six-race maiden who brings the worst form.

Jackson Street beat CHLOE'S COURAGE by a head into second over C&D three weeks ago, but the latter is 1lb better off now and may improve for the application of a first-time visor. With that in mind, it would be no surprise to see her reverse the form. Mount Mogan should not be inconvenienced by the return to 7f and is another to consider.

The suggestion is ROMAN EMPEROR whose most recent Lingfield start resulted in a solid effort. Mount Mogan is second choice.

5th	11 5th (11) (125/1 +17%) Royal Soldier		125 125/1(+17%)																															(11) Royal Soldier 125/1, Lacked pace when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; could do better once tackling handicaps.

6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +11%) Double Power		16 16/1(+11%)																															(3) Double Power 16/1, Outpaced but promising debut in a good race when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective at 2m4f and debut form looks strong, merits consideration. 0-9 in points, late headway on hurdles debut at Leopardstown, place shout.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 +23%) Lord Tobin		5 5/1(+23%)																															(6) Lord Tobin 5/1, Improved on bumper form when finishing 22l third in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; effective over 2m with some cut in the ground; strong chance based on that run. Remote third on hurdles debut at Navan, strip fitter now, preferred by Kennedy.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -79%) Albus		50 50/1(-79%)																															(1) Albus 50/1, Made mistakes and was green on a modest hurdle debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal on only start; likely to have more to offer for a top yard.

KIMI DE MAI won three bumpers in her native France and can now build on some useful hurdling form. Her smart French form was all on testing ground and having run well on her hurdling debut last January, she was subsequently well held at the Cheltenham Festival. Last month's reappearance run was a useful effort in a hot maiden as the Champion Bumper winner finished second, while the third scored last week, and this won't be quite as competitive. Lord Tobin has ability and although beaten 22 lengths on his hurdling debut at Navan, the first two horses are smart performers. Bergamasquo disappointed at Naas, but showed better form previously.

A tentative vote goes to Willie Mullins' mare KIMI DE MAI after her promising seasonal reappearance effort at Naas

Effective at 3m and appears to be heading in the right direction. 0-10 but he ran well at Wetherby last time and could be dangerous if he can back that up.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +44%) Shorten Sassy		5 5/1(+44%)																															(6) Shorten Sassy 5/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective around 3m with some ease in the ground. Has a good chance dropped again in the weights. Lightly raced 6yo but she made mistakes last time and needs to raise her game.

Effective from 2m4f to 3m and handles soft or good to soft ground. Could take another step forward. Newton Abbot winner who was a fair fourth over C&D last month; in the mix.
5th	12 5th (12) (200/1 -100%) Dontworrywegotthis		200 200/1(-100%)																															(12) Dontworrywegotthis 200/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time and yet to show any worthwhile form over a variety of trips. Impossible to fancy. Has struggled in all ten starts and he's a long way out of the weights again.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 +52%) Harksman		16 16/1(+52%)																															(10) Harksman 16/1, Didn't get home when up in trip and comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. Usually held up and effective at 2m4f. Still early days but has something to prove in handicaps, including stamina. Down the field in all six runs including when tailed off on handicap debut at Kempton.
9	9 |PU| (9) (12/1 +52%) Getaway Sam		12 12/1(+52%)																															(9) Getaway Sam 12/1, Made mistakes and went too quickly when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Chepstow last time. Effective at 2m in bumpers and may need more time to progress. Handicap newcomer but he needs a transformation on this switch to a staying trip.

BOLLIN THOU was making just his third start for this yard when justifying favouritism at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve and the unexposed eight-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that effort, despite a 7lb rise. Briery Butterfly has made the frame on both starts this season and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Smart Bucks completes the shortlist.

Top of the list is the lightly raced 8yo BOLLIN THOU (nap) who won in good style at Uttoxeter and is open to more progress.

Largely sound results at Lingfield since August; successful in C&D handicap last time.
4	4 4th (4) (10/1 +50%) Huntly Lodge		10 10/1(+50%)																															(4) Huntly Lodge 10/1, Again ran to a poor level, finishing down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recently; off a short break; effective over 7f and acts on all-weather; form tenuous and hard to assess accurately. Further 5lb drop allows him into this 0-50 classified, which may help.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 -20%) Monks Mead		6 6/1(-20%)																															(5) Monks Mead 6/1, Bit wide but ran to recent level when fourth beaten 2l in a handicap here latest; effective 7/8f acts on a sound surface; in fair form off reduced mark. Respectable fourth over C&D on return from break last time; frame possibilities.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 -79%) Rainbow Sign		25 25/1(-79%)																															(8) Rainbow Sign 25/1, Comfortably held when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; effective over 8f and acts on a sound surface; needs to bounce back. Has plenty of course form but last two efforts don't bode well.
7th	11 7th (11) (22/1 -10%) Unknown Journey		22 22/1(-10%)																															(11) Unknown Journey 22/1, Below form when upped in trip and didn't get home, finishing down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective at 8-10f and acts on good to firm and all-weather; needs more to get off the mark.

Remains a longstanding maiden; below par at Lingfield on Saturday.
9th	3 9th (3) (80/1 -142%) Duke Orsino		80 80/1(-142%)																															(3) Duke Orsino 80/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; effective at 7f and acts on all-weather; falling in the weights and capable of a good run. Still a maiden and his form claims are far from solid.
6	6 |F| (6) (28/1 -40%) Mr Trick		28 28/1(-40%)																															(6) Mr Trick 28/1, Below form when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; effective over 7-10f on a sound surface; form going the wrong way. On a long losing run and lacks recent match practice.
10th	7 10th (7) (16/1 +11%) Princess Pw		16 16/1(+11%)																															(7) Princess Pw 16/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; effective at 7/8f and acts on good and all-weather; has lost form and drops again in the weights. Maiden who has lost her early consistency; others preferred.

ROYAL JET beat a subsequent winner when scoring in a handicap over C&D last month and a repeat of that form may well be good enough at this level. Monks Mead was not far behind the selection last time and is 2lb better off at the weights, which makes him of interest. Taskheer and Celtic John are others who arrive with strong form claims.

Solid ROYAL JET (nap) is taken to follow up his C&D handicap success. Celtic John is second pick.

Extended a sequence of placings when third at Fairyhouse, needs to find a little extra.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +13%) Folly Master		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) Folly Master 7/2, Needed the run when comfortably held in a point at Kirkistown last time; in good form previously under rules and returns from a short break; effective from 2m4f to 3m, handles soft ground and could be well treated back hurdling.

Finished 10l behind today's rival Westernsunrise when fourth at Limerick, others preferred.
5th	17 5th (17) (3/1 +75%) Nettuno Italia		3 3/1(+75%)																															(17) Nettuno Italia 3/1, Bit below form when comfortably held in a Limerick handicap hurdle last time; returns from a short break; suited by 3m on soft ground and can go well. Fair form at a modest level, has been costly to follow, may pick up a race at some stage.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -79%) Money Heist		25 25/1(-79%)																															(2) Money Heist 25/1, Failed to find much after looking a threat when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Naas last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on any going, but generally better over fences. Disappointing at Naas on first run for this team, well treated relative to best chase form.
7th	14 7th (14) (16/1 +20%) Difficult Decision		16 16/1(+20%)																															(14) Difficult Decision 16/1, Ran to his recent level back chasing when comfortably held in a Limerick handicap chase last time; effective from 2m2f to 2m7f on soft ground; veteran who needs more back hurdling but remains capable. Veteran has not done a great deal of racing, good effort over 3m here on penultimate start.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -21%) Cornmarket		40 40/1(-21%)																															(6) Cornmarket 40/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark at Sligo on his penultimate start; departed just as the race was developing when going well last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m on a sound surface and looks progressive.

8	8 |F| (8) (9/2 +63%) Westernersunrise		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(8) Westernersunrise 9/2, Ran to form when flattening out late back from a break, finishing 5 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective from 2m4f to 2m7f on heavy or soft ground and should come on for that run. Fair third in a mares' handicap at Limerick on first outing since June, could feature.

The well-bred EMPIRE WALK had shown ordinary form prior to an encouraging run last month. Out of an unraced half-sister to Grand National hero Many Clouds and Grade 1 winner The Tullow Tank, the five-year-old was beaten eight lengths in an ordinary maiden at Naas, but shaped with promise and should be able to score from this sort of figure. Folly Master has a higher chase rating and is well suited by a test of stamina. He had a pipe-opener in a November point-to-point and should compete, despite carrying top weight. Westernersunrise had a nice reappearance at Limerick.

This could be the day on which nine-time points winner ROCKY'S HOWYA gets his act together on the track

Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft or good to soft ground and has a chance if building on that run. Course winner over hurdles in 2023 but struggling to recapture form following an absence.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 +41%) Sweet Honey B		5 5/1(+41%)																															(1) Sweet Honey B 5/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time.

Point winner; showed promise in bumper/over hurdles before absence; fair return; improve.
7th	12 7th (12) (50/1 -213%) Formel Park		50 50/1(-213%)																															(12) Formel Park 50/1, Won by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Sedgefield two starts ago but ran well below form latest.

Promising bumper debut; nothing special hurdling but may do much better now handicapping.
13	13 |PU| (13) (14/1 +65%) Lady Fortune		14 14/1(+65%)																															(13) Lady Fortune 14/1, Still green, made mistakes, and flattened out up in trip when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m1f on soft ground, and the slight drop in trip should help. Modest form in a handful of hurdle starts, including two handicaps; new yard.
8	8 |PU| (8) (66/1 -100%) Make Sunshine		66 66/1(-100%)																															(8) Make Sunshine 66/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here on latest start.

JAMAICAINE had plenty in hand when landing the odds over C&D a month ago and even a 10lb rise might not be enough to stop the seven-year-old from following up. Feet On The Ground may have to settle for second once again, although Time Was and Prairie Queen are others who are likely to be in the mix for the places.

Recent C&D winner JAMAICAINE is taken to follow up although Feet On The Ground and Noble Grace are also of interest.

REPERTOIRE got up late to deny Way To Dubai over this track and trip earlier in the month and the veteran can confirm that form to follow up, despite a 1lb swing in the weights. Way To Dubai is likely to go very well once again as he has proven to be consistent in recent months. H Key Lails could reward each-way support.

The margins are fine but WAY TO DUBAI is taken to reverse C&D placings with the 10yo Repertoire and finally add to his German wins.

FASTNET CRYSTAL was heavily supported on her debut but just failed to reward favourite backers. Having been ridden from off the pace she couldn't reel in the winner, though she is likely to have learned plenty and is expected to take the necessary step forward. Simply Natural has been beaten in three bumpers but her most recent Naas effort was extremely promising. Seven-year-old How's Hannah won a point-to-point in March following a lengthy absence and while she debuts for top connections, she might prove vulnerable.

Joseph O'Brien's FASTNET CRYSTAL is taken to go one place better after a highly promising second on debut at Thurles

COOL CUSTOMER displayed plenty of promise when filling second place on his Rules debut at Southwell last month and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. That'll Be Oxo was third that day and is an obvious threat, while Loch Ness Pineau and Britway Belle were expensive purchases out of the point-to-point field and any market support would have to be noted.

This could go to the bumper newcomer LOCH NESS PINEAU, who changed hands for £100,000 after winning a point in October.

Effective from 14f to 16f, acts on all-weather, and is on a useful mark back in form. C&D scorer who arrives in good nick; she ought to be in the shake-up again.

Wears a hood for the first time, usually held up, and acts on all-weather. Bred to stay further and could improve on handicap debut off a fair mark.

Effective from 8f to 12f and acts on all-weather; the drop back in trip should help this maiden. Below-par sixth of 12 in 1m6f Southwell handicap 24 days ago; more is needed.

Trainer in form; effective from 10f to 14f and acts on all-weather. More consistent since a wind operation. In good form until ninth in 1m4f handicap here 37 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back..

Effective up to 16f, acts on all-weather, and a consistent type who should be involved again. Good second over C&D 16 days ago; can make her presence felt again off an unchanged mark.

From a top course trainer; effective from 14f to 16f and best on all-weather. Nicely treated but struggling for form. Comes here out of sorts, beating one in h'cap here four weeks ago; others are preferred.
9th	6 9th (6) (3/1 +14%) Moon Over The Sea		3 3/1(+14%)																															(6) Moon Over The Sea 3/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Southwell last time.

Won at Southwell latest having conceded first run to the second; big shout under 4lb pen.

A few of these arrive with something to prove and it looks best to side with MOON OVER THE SEA. The Tony Carroll-trained seven-year-old won over 1m3f at Southwell and must shoulder a 4lb penalty but he remains competitively treated, especially taking into account Tyrese Cameron's claim. Returning to further is no bad thing either. The consistent Zooks won't be far away, nor will Fascinating Shadow, and Grand Duchess Olga should not be underestimated, despite her wide draw.

Tony Carroll's MOON OVER THE SEA did well to reel in a long-time leader when scoring at Southwell and is taken to defy a 4lb penalty.

Won on 6f handicap debut; close up in two of his 6f runs since; needs to settle better.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +25%) Tafah		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) Tafah 12/1, Made late headway off a break when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell latest. Trained by a leading course trainer. Effective at 6f but probably wants 7f. Acts on all-weather and may improve stepped up in trip. Signs of ability on debut; fair 4th to well-treated winner on yard debut; should improve.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -12%) Faithful Dream		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Faithful Dream 28/1, Disappointing on handicap and all-weather debut when beaten 10l in a nursery at Kempton last time. Off a short break and bred to be best at 5-6f. May do better in handicaps in time but must bounce back on return from break.

Top course jockey booked. Effective at 5/6f, acts on all-weather, and remains consistent. Thereabouts in 3 sprint handicaps under B Loughnane; competitive from low draw.

Drawn wide and tricky to judge whether 5f or 6f suits best. Acts on all-weather but yet to find ideal conditions. Two siblings have won on AW/dirt; minor 6f promise; handicap debut; bred to stay further.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -213%) Life After Love		50 50/1(-213%)																															(8) Life After Love 50/1, Appeared not to stay when well beaten in a novice here last time. Drawn wide but has a nice pedigree, by a miler out of a sprinter and proven at 6f. Drop in trip looks appropriate. Useful pedigree; minor form in 3 runs; can improve now handicapping but drawn widest.
9th	10 9th (10) (66/1 -136%) Lina Codina		66 66/1(-136%)																															(10) Lina Codina 66/1, Well held off a stiff mark, beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Thirsk last time.

ESPONA BAY is still learning his trade and was a little unfortunate to bump into a progressive rival at Kempton. Although absent since that effort in October, the handicapper has only raised him 1lb and with a handy draw to work from, he could gain compensation. There are a number of threats, primarily Southwell winner Grey Horizon. Far Too Fizzy does not lack for speed and that may well tee things up nicely for the selection.

This is competitive but ESPONA BAY was second to improvers on both his AW starts and should go well on the switch to Tapeta.

Proven over 7f on the all-weather and continues to progress, so could defy the penalty. Readily scored at Southwell 15 days ago; she's a player with more progress on the cards.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 -14%) They All Know Me		4 4/1(-14%)																															(7) They All Know Me 4/1, Had too much to do after meeting trouble at a key stage when 2l third in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective from 7f to 8f on the all-weather; not entirely straightforward but in good form and has fair claims again. Very good third at Newcastle 23 days ago when set a lot to do; holds very good form claims.

Has the top course jockey booked and is effective over 1m on the all-weather; should come on for that run and the drop in trip may suit. Off 14 months before third at Chelmsford 32 days ago; form franked so he needs considering.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 -29%) Counting Cards		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(2) Counting Cards 9/2, Far too free when beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time but had been in good form before that. Effective from 6f to 8f on the all-weather and consistent until latest; could bounce back if settling. Only seventh of ten in 7f Newcastle handicap 23 days ago; needs to bounce back.

Returns from a long layoff and is effective over 7f on the all-weather; likely to need this on stable debut. Some promise when sixth in C&D novice 13 months ago; has fitness to prove for new yard.
8th	8 8th (8) (300/1 -20%) Miss Helena		300 300/1(-20%)																															(8) Miss Helena 300/1, Has shown no worthwhile form so far but could do better once switched to handicaps. Last of ten in 9.5f novice here three weeks ago; easy to look elsewhere.

Having to shoulder a penalty will make life tougher for ALL MOONSHINE, but she is still expected to prove too strong. The filly built on an encouraging debut performance to score in comfortable fashion at Southwell and further progress may well suffice. Counting Cards has the edge on these terms, but does need to bounce back from a disappointing Newcastle effort. They All Know Me and Thequietman are more than capable too.

Andrew Balding's stylish Southwell scorer ALL MOONSHINE has much more scope for progress than They All Know Me and he gets the nod

BELLA BISBEE lacked a bit of acceleration over 6f here on Boxing Day, but Scott Dixon's mare is expected to be more effective over this trip. The daughter of Muhaarar won over C&D three starts ago and although higher in the handicap now, she remains well treated. Flowstate let favourite-backers down latest but is capable of a big run, as is The Caribbean, who is 4lb higher than for last month's C&D triumph.

A chance is taken that FLOWSTATE can turn the tables on his recent C&D conqueror Nacho Nacho Nacho. bBella Bisbee\p is next best.

6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -355%) Pimentel		25 25/1(-355%)																															(5) Pimentel 25/1, Improved again and probably hit the front too soon when beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Yarmouth last time; off a short break; effective at 7f and capable of better returning this year though not the most willing. Improved with cheekpieces and going handicapping and could go well on her AW debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (5/1 -43%) Surgeon Commander		5 5/1(-43%)																															(8) Surgeon Commander 5/1, Not the most willing but got the job done when landing a handicap by a nose off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; top course jockey booked; effective at 6f on the all-weather but a bit to prove after a poor run last time. Dead-heated for first place when stepped up to 7f last time; this looks stronger.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -127%) Spirit Of Mara		50 50/1(-127%)																															(7) Spirit Of Mara 50/1, On a stiff mark when beaten 6l in a nursery here last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; may need 7f, and though form has gone the wrong way, the distance may be key. Modest efforts, including over 6f on h'cap debut; needs to improve for headgear and 7f.

PIMENTEL has improved since being switched to handicap company and was last seen filling the runner-up spot at Yarmouth in October. Off a 1lb higher mark, the daughter of Pinatubo could be hard to beat. The return to 7f should help Slack Bob and he remains open to improvement, while Surgeon Commander and Crown The Future are others who make the shortlist.

The one who appeals most is CROWN THE FUTURE, who won over C&D in November and didn't run to his best over 1m next time.

7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 -56%) Lhebayeb		14 14/1(-56%)																															(8) Lhebayeb 14/1, Ran to current form when beaten 2l off a 2lb higher mark here last time; effective 8-10f and acts on the all-weather; on a long losing run but now below last winning mark and could build on latest effort.

Scenario must be respected having won a similar event here earlier in the month, but even a 2lb rise asks more of her now. As a result, preference is for R P MCMURPHY, who won here in December and has gone close when third off this mark the last twice. How's The Guvnor has also been running well in defeat of late and completes the shortlist.

Tony Carroll's recent recruit SCENARIO (nap) is taken to defy a 2lb rise for her win here, at the chief expense of R P McMurphy

1	1 1st (1) (10/11 +27%) Eagles Whistle		0.909091 10/11(+27%)																															(1) Eagles Whistle 10/11, Did it readily when returning to form on stable debut, benefitting from a drop in class and trip to win a classified race at Newcastle by 1 1/2l last time. Effective from 7-9f on a sound surface; maiden unproven on all-weather but starting out for a new yard. Very lowly rated but has made hay in AW classified races in recent days for new yard.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 +14%) Desiderata		6 6/1(+14%)																															(3) Desiderata 6/1, Continued in poor form when fourth beaten 12l in a classified race at Southwell last time. Effective up to 10f and acts on all-weather, but a touch out of sorts of late. Wide-margin winner of similar C&D race last January; unpredictable since; risky.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/1 -75%) Wrist Art		7 7/1(-75%)																															(10) Wrist Art 7/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 10l in a classified race at Southwell last time. Wears a visor for the first time; suited by 8f; out of form for some time. Two turf wins in 2023; rarely involved since; ran poorly on 2nd start for new yard latest.

Suited by 8-10f and a multiple course winner running into form after a layoff. Hat-trick at about 1m here two winters ago; lightly raced since; quite encouraging latest.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -33%) Trusty Scout		16 16/1(-33%)																															(9) Trusty Scout 16/1, Never threatened when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent. Effective 8-12f and best on all-weather, though unreliable these days with a losing run stretching over two years. Course winner in 2023; went close in similar C&D race last summer; could be thereabouts.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 +82%) Racing Country		12 12/1(+82%)																															(7) Racing Country 12/1, Outpaced and found the trip too sharp when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent. Usually held up and returning from a break; probably needs 10f nowadays and has only beaten one rival home in five starts since a layoff. C&D winner two years ago but beaten just one rival in five runs since back from absence.
9th	2 9th (2) (22/1 -120%) Bondi Man		22 22/1(-120%)																															(2) Bondi Man 22/1, Not given a hard time but finished well when fourth beaten 3l in a handicap here last time. Suited by 10f, acts on all-weather, but unreliable maiden needing to build on latest effort dropped in class. 0-19 but kept on well when 4th in C&D handicap latest; now down in grade.

EAGLES WHISTLE has given her new connections quite the thrill already, winning comfortably over 7f at Newcastle on Friday before following up just as easily over the mile a day later. Turned out quickly again with a nice bonus in sight, Daragh Bourke's charge may well take all the beating. A repeat of Bondi Man's recent C&D fourth would have him in the mix, while similar comments apply to Pyrrhic Dancer, who might benefit from a return to further.

Wrist Art could yet come good for James Owen but EAGLES WHISTLE may be resilient enough to win her third race in four days.

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.
