1	5 1st (5) (9/4 -20%) Soaring Sun		2.25 9/4(-20%)																															(5) Soaring Sun 9/4, Ran to form when third, beaten 2l, in a handicap here last time; effective from 8f to 12f on the all-weather; solid chance back in a maiden. Solid 1m2f form here of late; contender if staying this longer trip.
2	9 2nd (9) (25/1 -25%) Tyraxes		25 25/1(-25%)																															(9) Tyraxes 25/1, Never threatened from off the pace when down the field in a maiden here last time; effective over 12f on the all-weather and could be a contender if bouncing back. Mild promise in Britain for A Balding but C&D yard debut in November was poor.
3	2 3rd (2) (33/1 -32%) Jet Renegade		33 33/1(-32%)																															(2) Jet Renegade 33/1, Tried in a hood when well beaten in a Leopardstown bumper last time; hard to recommend making this Flat debut. Mild promise in bumpers, notably at Galway in October; best watched on Flat debut.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Kidam Roque		12 12/1(-20%)																															(3) Kidam Roque 12/1, Some promise on debut beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden here last time; effective 12f on AW; possible improver. Okay C&D Flat debut last month when hooded; more needed.
5th	7 5th (7) (1/2 +60%) Dancingondiamonds		0.5 1/2(+60%)																															(7) Dancingondiamonds 1/2, Some promise on debut beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden at Killarney on debut; trainer in form; effective 8f on G; improvement possible up in trip. Debut promise in May; gelded since and won't have to improve too much to play major role.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 +18%) Miners Cabin		33 33/1(+18%)																															(8) Miners Cabin 33/1, Met trouble and had too much to do when well beaten in a Naas juvenile hurdle last time; difficult to fancy switching to the Flat. Well held in both recent hurdle runs; hard to fancy switched to Flat.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -67%) Battling Siki		20 20/1(-67%)																															(6) Battling Siki 20/1, 40,000gns Churchill gelding; dam was smart and Listed-placed over 14f; looks up against it on Flat debut. Unraced for the late Kevin Prendergast; bought for 4,600gns in July; market best guide.
8th	4 8th (4) (25/1 -56%) Kings Gesture		25 25/1(-56%)																															(4) Kings Gesture 25/1, Matched debut effort when beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden here last time; stays 12f on the all-weather and could yet progress. Some C&D promise but too keen back in trip here last time.
9th	1 9th (1) (200/1 +0%) Crab Road		200 200/1(+0%)																															(1) Crab Road 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; faces a stiff task on this Flat debut and makes little appeal. Poor form in maiden hurdles, easily overlooked on Flat debut.

DANCINGONDIAMONDS hasn't been seen since his May debut, but ran nicely and will be ready for his return in an ordinary maiden. Out of an unraced half-sister to two black type performers, he was purchased for 220,000 euros at a breeze-up sale in May 2024 and while he has clearly had problems since and wears a tongue-tie, he showed ability in a Killarney maiden that has worked out well. The dependable Soaring Sun goes back up in trip, but should stay as he finished midfield in a heavy-ground Curragh maiden over this distance in November. Jet Renegade has reasonable bumper form and is race-fit.

A weak maiden in which DANCINGONDIAMONDS could be good enough to see off the more exposed Soaring Sun

1	1 1st (1) (15/2 +12%) Tarbat Ness		7.5 15/2(+12%)																															(1) Tarbat Ness 15/2, Won by 2 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Catterick on his penultimate start; disappointing on hurdles return when sixth beaten 24l off 100 last time, 40lb lower here. Consistent in both codes and suited by 2-3m; effective on this surface and not ruled out after after a short break. Form figures of 22121 in last five Flat attempts; won comfortably the final time.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 0%) Dollar's Dream		4.5 9/2(0%)																															(4) Dollar's Dream 9/2, Outpaced but ran to form when seeing out the longer trip, beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Usually held up; effective 12-14f on this surface; could build on a promising handicap debut now stepped up in trip. Signs of improvement last time (handicap debut); may build on that effort.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/4 +8%) Billy Bathgate		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(2) Billy Bathgate 11/4, Won by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; ran to form when fifth beaten 5 1/4l off 58 last time, same mark here. Trainer in form; effective 14-16f; consistent and should give a good account once more. Dual C&D winner last year; unsuited by drop back to 12.5f most recently.
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 -9%) Arcimboldo		3 3/1(-9%)																															(8) Arcimboldo 3/1, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap at Southwell last time, though in good form prior. Effective at 2m and acts on this surface; stays well and looked a bit unlucky penultimate start, considered a threat. Maiden; form dipped last time; consistent efforts otherwise for current yard.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 +14%) Young Merlin		6 6/1(+14%)																															(5) Young Merlin 6/1, Outpaced but ran to form when third beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle on latest outing. Visor on for the first time; effective 2m-2m2f and proven on this surface; mark could be generous based on jumps form; could run well back on the level. Chance of winning may depend on how well he responds to new headgear.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/2 -10%) Tupero		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(6) Tupero 11/2, Outpaced but ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time. Cheekpieces first time; top course jockey booked; effective at 12f; type to do better handicapping over further. May do better now handicapping, upped in trip and fitted with headgear.
7th	3 7th (3) (50/1 -52%) Inspire Hope		50 50/1(-52%)																															(3) Inspire Hope 50/1, Outpaced and never threatened down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Wears a visor first time; effective over 1m3f on the Flat and 2m over hurdles; in poor form in both codes of late. Chance depends on how well she responds to tongue-tie and visor.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 +20%) Khangai		40 40/1(+20%)																															(7) Khangai 40/1, Never threatened and ran well below form when comfortably held in a classified race at Southwell last time. Effective 10-16f and probably handles any surface, though not the most resolute; form has dipped since returning to the all-weather. Has a doubt over current form and the trip to some extent.

Already a dual C&D scorer, the Ewan Whillans-trained 10-year-old BILLY BATHGATE is only 3lb above his last winning mark, which came just last month, and his proven liking for Tapeta is a big asset in this company. Arcimboldo has shown promise since joining Mike Sowersby and is feared more than the code-switching pair Tarbat Ness and Young Merlin, whose previous form on synthetic surfaces is modest at best.

With improvement plausible, interesting handicap debutant TUPERO gets the vote. Dollar's Dream is second pick.

1	4 1st (4) (11/2 +39%) Shoeshine Boy		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(4) Shoeshine Boy 11/2, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time when beaten; trainer is in good form; effective over 3m and suited by plenty of cut in the ground; fairly treated and looks to be returning to form until latest. Not getting any younger but last month's C&D second was a good effort.
2	6 2nd (6) (15/2 +46%) Maura Jeanne		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(6) Maura Jeanne 15/2, Travelled well but found little and ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; usually held up; effective at 3m and handles soft and good ground; in fair form though her mark demands more. C&D winner last year; below form last time but has claims if judged on earlier Hexham run.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -50%) Kelvin Forlonge		3 3/1(-50%)																															(1) Kelvin Forlonge 3/1, Improved up in trip and down in grade when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here last time; effective over 3m and unexposed at staying trips, with scope to progress further. Clearcut C&D winner when upped in trip for last month's handicap debut; major player.
4	8 4th (8) (11/1 +31%) Better Be Definite		11 11/1(+31%)																															(8) Better Be Definite 11/1, Made mistakes and was never put into the race when fourth, beaten 24l, in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time after a short break; unsuited by the drop in trip; well treated on old form; effective at 3m and can bounce back when stepped back up in distance. Returned from long layoff with fairly encouraging run but seems best on good ground.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +0%) Piaff Bubbles		12 12/1(+0%)																															(2) Piaff Bubbles 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; usually held up; best around 3m and handles soft ground; had been consistent prior to that run. Placed on seasonal debut but pulled up since; headgear switched.
6th	10 6th (10) (28/1 +58%) Nae Bother At A'		28 28/1(+58%)																															(10) Nae Bother At A' 28/1, Made mistakes and may not have stayed when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Perth last time; drop in trip could suit better in time. Well beaten on handicap debut in June; now with new stable; 7lb wrong.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 -100%) Holly Bird		7 7/1(-100%)																															(7) Holly Bird 7/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 4l, in a handicap hurdle at Catterick last time, benefitting from first-time cheekpieces; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and finding form at a modest level while longer trip could suit. Second in first-time cheekpieces last month; moves up from 2m3f; a possible.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Blue Indigo		50 50/1(-52%)																															(9) Blue Indigo 50/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time; effective over 2m5f on good ground and may improve now entering handicaps but needs to. Showed nothing more than minor promise in four novice/maiden hurdles; handicap debut.
9th	5 9th (5) (7/2 -17%) Gather Yourself		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(5) Gather Yourself 7/2, Travelled well and returned to form when 12l third in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time; fair mark on best Irish form; effective from 2m6f to 3m but can be inconsistent. Good third at Navan last month and Sean Bowen takes the ride; high on the list.
10th	3 10th (3) (17/2 +39%) Monsieur Le Fuzz		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(3) Monsieur Le Fuzz 17/2, Never travelled and looked lazy when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; tongue-tie fitted for the first time; prefers 3m and acts on soft and good ground; still early in his career and needs to bounce back. Narrow C&D winner in March but has not fired on either appearance this season.

A confident vote goes to KELVIN FORLONGE, who made a mockery of his opening mark to score over C&D at the start of December. He was raised 6lb for that performance, but conditions might not be too dissimilar here. He's completely unexposed at this sort of trip and is expected to take another step forward. Irish raider Gather Yourself merits the utmost respect in the hands of Sean Bowen, while Shoeshine Boy wouldn't be without a chance if putting a recent fall behind him.

There could still be a fair bit more to come from KELVIN FORLONGE (nap), who won over C&D on last month's handicap debut.

Up 15lb for two recent wins over 7f; tough enough task from this draw.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -75%) Bint Majestic Roi		14 14/1(-75%)																															(9) Bint Majestic Roi 14/1, Improved and caused a surprise when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective at 8f on all-weather; didn't stay further; chance if building on that run. C&D win over Una Matata last month; 4lb worse off but could have greater improvement.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -136%) Comfort Line		33 33/1(-136%)																															(10) Comfort Line 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l in a claimer here last time; effective at 7-8f on all-weather; needs to find a bit more. Claimed for 5,000euros last month; wide draw not ideal and opposable back in a handicap.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 +0%) Aratayvo		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Aratayvo 16/1, Up in trip and didn't stay when well beaten in a handicap here last time; tongue-tie first time; off a short break; effective at 8f on the all-weather; drop in trip should suit. Too keen of late; tongue-tied now and back to 1m; nice mark.
8th	12 8th (12) (50/1 -100%) March To The Band		50 50/1(-100%)																															(12) March To The Band 50/1, Back to form when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective at 7f on all-weather; may improve for this longer trip. Didn't run too badly on yard debut here over 7f last month; unexposed so don't rule out.
9th	11 9th (11) (10/1 -18%) Johnny's Oasis		10 10/1(-18%)																															(11) Johnny's Oasis 10/1, Scored by 4l off a 11lb lower mark here three starts back; ran to form last time, same mark here; top course trainer; effective 8-10f, acts on G, AW; drop in trip fine. Dual C&D winner of late; deserves respect back at best trip and from a good draw.
10th	14 10th (14) (16/1 -33%) Magna Gee Gee		16 16/1(-33%)																															(14) Magna Gee Gee 16/1, Ran to form but didn't stay when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; effective at 10-11f on all-weather; mark continues to ease and drop in trip may help. Handicapper giving him every chance; interesting back in trip although draw a negative.
11th	2 11th (2) (125/1 -150%) Urban War		125 125/1(-150%)																															(2) Urban War 125/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective up to 10f on the Flat and handles a sound surface; difficult to fancy. Mild promise in recent maiden hurdles, hard to see him making an impact back on the level.
12th	6 12th (6) (40/1 -43%) Hurricane Helen		40 40/1(-43%)																															(6) Hurricane Helen 40/1, Again below form when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; off a short break; effective from 8-10f on a sound surface; difficult to fancy.

13th	16 13th (16) (66/1 -200%) Smaoineamh Sile		66 66/1(-200%)																															(16) Smaoineamh Sile 66/1, Below form down the field in a handicap here last time; visor first time; enjoys racing prominently; effective from 8-10f on all-weather; inconsistent and needs to bounce back.

The well-bred BINT MAJESTIC ROI sprung a surprise over C&D and might build on that. Out of a half-sister to a 2000 Guineas runner-up and the granddaughter of a Group 1 winner, she was initially rated 74 and had been frustrating, but found her niche here last month. She is 5lb higher and reopposes runner-up Una Matata, but is open to more progression. Lahore Da King's regular veteran apprentice rider is out of commission due to suspension and while he won well in December, he is by Sands Of Mali so stepping up to a mile is a concern.

Lots with chances but perhaps there may be more to come from recent shock C&D winner BINT MAJESTIC ROI

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +0%) Teardrops		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Teardrops 4/1, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Every chance and ran to form when fifth beaten 6l off 55 last time, running from the same mark here. Effective at 6/7f and acts on all-weather; a stiff 6f and strong pace would help, but his mark demands more. Dual C&D winner; not disgraced when fifth over C&D last time; ought to be in shake-up.
2	1 2nd (1) (17/2 -89%) Sibyl Charm		8.5 17/2(-89%)																															(1) Sibyl Charm 17/2, All but refused and was never in the race when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time.

C&D winner; very slowly away when eighth over C&D in November; very much considered.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +10%) Profit Street		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(3) Profit Street 9/4, Scored by 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back. Ran to form when second beaten a neck off 56 last time, 1lb higher here. Effective at 6/7f and acts on a sound surface. Back in form and should go well again. Thriving for current yard; excellent Lingfield second 13 days ago; big shout nudged up 1lb.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +38%) Bad Habits		5 5/1(+38%)																															(7) Bad Habits 5/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. Possibly hit the front too soon when fourth beaten 2 1/2l off 54 last time, running from the same mark here. Trainer in form; effective at 6/7f and best on all-weather. A consistent sort. Did well when fourth at Southwell latest given he helped set a strong pace; in the picture.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -140%) Court Of Session		18 18/1(-140%)																															(6) Court Of Session 18/1, Produced best work late and ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark at Southwell last time. Effective from 5f to 8f and acts on a sound surface. Inconsistent and on a long losing run. On very long losing run but good runner-up at Southwell nine days ago; weighted to go well.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/2 +36%) Penny Mountain		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(5) Penny Mountain 7/2, Scored by 2l off a 4lb lower mark here on her penultimate start. Ran to form when third beaten 1 1/4l off 55 last time, running from the same mark here. Effective at 6f and acts on all-weather. Progressing of late and still looks fairly treated. C&D winner; good C&D third only three days ago so she can make her presence felt.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -13%) Spun To Gold		9 9/1(-13%)																															(2) Spun To Gold 9/1, Scored by a nose off this mark here in November. Every chance but below form when sixth beaten 7l off 59 last time. Has a top course jockey; effective at 6/7f and acts on good, good to soft and all-weather surfaces. Disappointing in recent runs but dangerous if returning to form off last winning mark. A two-time C&D scorer but he arrives under something of a cloud.

Bad Habits and Court Of Session are being kept busy and have each-way prospects, although TEARDROPS and Penny Mountain are suggested as the pair to focus on. The latter was a ready winner over track and trip on her penultimate start and wasn't beaten far when third back here on Saturday. However, Richard Spencer's gelding is less exposed and may have benefited from being given a bit more of a break since his bid for a C&D hat-trick went awry.

Recent excellent Lingfield second PROFIT STREET hasn't looked back since joining James Owen and can bag a second success for the yard.

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 -127%) Meetmebythesea		2.5 5/2(-127%)																															(2) Meetmebythesea 5/2, Won a handicap chase at Wetherby by 1/2l last time after a short break. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and handles soft and good to soft ground. Debut form has been franked at Graded level, with plenty more to come over fences and likely to stay further in time. Useful novice hurdler last season; won Wetherby handicap on chase debut; good prospect.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/1 +30%) Dedicated Hero		7 7/1(+30%)																															(4) Dedicated Hero 7/1, Disappointed when stepped back up in trip and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time. Effective between 2m and 3m, though his previous Grade 2 win looks a weak piece of form. Must bounce back on chase debut. G2 novice hurdle winner; not progressing in handicaps but still of interest on chase debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/13 +51%) Fingle Bridge		0.615385 8/13(+51%)																															(1) Fingle Bridge 8/13, Made mistakes but was untested as a sole rival fell when winning a beginners' chase at Uttoxeter by a length last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and handles soft ground. Should improve further over fences and remains a leading threat. Won Listed novice hurdle last season and has made promising start to chasing career.

Effective around 2m and handles heavy and soft ground. A progressive type capable of further improvement as a chaser. Second in C&D handicap on chasing debut; needs a good step forward today.

Returns from a long absence. Effective from 2m4f to 2m7f on soft and good to soft ground, and should have more to offer over fences but likely to find this sharp enough test back from lay off. Promising novice hurdler in 2024 but makes chasing debut after a long absence.

An interesting clash between FINGLE BRIDGE and Meetmebythesea, with preference for the former. Olly Murphy's gelding was unbeaten over hurdles, with a Listed success at Exeter the highlight, especially given how the form has worked out. He returned to the same venue for his chasing bow when second to Lulamba before being left alone in a match at Uttoxeter and this appeals as a decent opportunity to continue his progression. Meetmebythesea was also a useful hurdler who scored on his chasing debut at Wetherby, while Big John Wayne looks the pick of the remainder.

It's not easy to choose between Fingle Bridge and MEETMEBYTHESEA, who have already shown very useful form over fences.

1	4 1st (4) (10/1 -43%) Another Day Done		10 10/1(-43%)																															(4) Another Day Done 10/1, Produced his most reliable form to date when beaten 4 1/2l in a nursery here on handicap debut last time. Wears a visor for the first time. Trainer in form. Effective over 7f and acts on the all-weather; further may suit this big colt with a 10f pedigree. Visor now fitted and could have more to offer upped in trip.
2	10 2nd (10) (10/1 +38%) Grey Sands		10 10/1(+38%)																															(10) Grey Sands 10/1, Below form well beaten in a maiden here latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; some speed in pedigree but dam a 1m4f winner; may do better handicapping. Nothing in maidens; tongue-tied now for handicap debut and market only guide.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/4 +10%) Apiary		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(7) Apiary 9/4, Had plenty to do but ran at least to form when beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark here last time on handicap debut. Effective at 7f and acts on the all-weather. Looks competitively handicapped. Just denied on recent handicap debut over 7f; could take the beating now upped in trip.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 -13%) Arcabulle		9 9/1(-13%)																															(1) Arcabulle 9/1, Probably raced too close to a strong pace when finishing down the field in a maiden here last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time. Effective over 6f to 7f on the all-weather but has a bit to prove after a modest effort latest. Tame recent maiden effort here; upped in trip for handicap debut.
5th	11 5th (11) (11/2 +50%) Sapphire Dream		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(11) Sapphire Dream 11/2, Ran to recent level tried in a visor when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a nursery here latest; effective 6-7f; modest form so far, longer trip may not suit judged on breeding. More encouraging in a visor last time; 5lb wrong here though.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +43%) Divelment		4 4/1(+43%)																															(2) Divelment 4/1, Fair run off a break when beaten 7 1/4l in a two-year-old race here last time. Effective over 7f to 8f on the all-weather and generally consistent. Should improve for the reappearance. Some Turf promise but safely held over C&D last month; opening mark looks on the high side.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 -40%) Stolen Treasure		14 14/1(-40%)																															(9) Stolen Treasure 14/1, Ran to form down in trip when beaten 3 1/4l off a 4lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6f on the all-weather, though the mark looks only fair. Some promise last month; 4lb lower now and steps up in trip so could improve.
8th	5 8th (5) (13/2 +46%) Dawn Flame		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(5) Dawn Flame 13/2, Again well held when beaten 8l in an auction race here last time. Returns from a break and probably needs further than 6f. Looks one for handicaps. Moderate form in three maidens last autumn; opposable off this mark on handicap debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (66/1 -230%) No More Hiding		66 66/1(-230%)																															(3) No More Hiding 66/1, Disappointed when dropped in trip and finished down the field in a maiden here last time. Has a stout pedigree and may do better back up in distance now switching to handicaps. Trip too short last time; potential improver upped in trip for handicap debut.
10th	8 10th (8) (20/1 0%) Iryna's Star		20 20/1(0%)																															(8) Iryna's Star 20/1, Settled better and showed minor improvement from the previous start when beaten 10l in a maiden here last time. Quite speedily bred and a strong type but yet to show reliable form. Little in maidens last month; market best guide upped in trip on handicap debut.
11th	6 11th (6) (12/1 -85%) Guildhall Graduate		12 12/1(-85%)																															(6) Guildhall Graduate 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l in a maiden here last time. Effective over 7f to 8f on the all-weather and a consistent performer. Maiden runs here at 7f suggest this longer trip will suit on handicap debut.

APIARY was well supported when failing by a head on her handicap debut and having seen out 7f well, she should stay this trip. Out of a well-related winning mare, she didn't show much prior to her recent run and was beaten in a claimer in November, but is now open to plenty more progression. Arcabulle showed promise on debut but has disappointed recently, while Another Day Done finished behind the selection in December and is now tried in a first-time visor.

Just denied when coming home strongly here last month, the extra furlong could see APIARY go one better now

1	8 1st (8) (8/1 -60%) Maria Da Silva		8 8/1(-60%)																															(8) Maria Da Silva 8/1, Disadvantaged by a very wide draw but improved when beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden at Lingfield last time. Likely to stay 1m, acts on all-weather; open to further progress. Showcasing filly; encouraging sixth at Lingfield 41 days ago; she can do better still.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 +44%) Clonquest		3.333333 10/3(+44%)																															(2) Clonquest 10/3, Showed significant late gains after not being put into the race when beaten 6 1/2l in a novice here on debut. Effective at 7f, will stay further, acts on all-weather; open to marked improvement. Shaped well on his debut when C&D fifth; son of Ulysses can take a sizeable step forward.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 -23%) Somebody		8 8/1(-23%)																															(5) Somebody 8/1, Below form when back up in trip, finishing fourth beaten 9l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Stiff 6f may suit best; acts on all-weather and a drop back in distance looks appropriate. Is 0-12 and only fourth of five at Southwell ten days ago; needs to bounce back.
4	4 4th (4) (10/11 +55%) Lakota Chief		0.909091 10/11(+55%)																															(4) Lakota Chief 10/11, 35,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Sioux Nation; half-brother to Nellie Leylax, smart at 8f; dam useful at 7f at 2yo. Top jockey booked and yard can get them ready first time. Closely related to an AW winner; this Sioux Nation newcomer rates an interesting prospect.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 -220%) Evolve		16 16/1(-220%)																															(3) Evolve 16/1, Out-kicked and finished as if wanting further when fourth beaten 2l in a novice here last time. From a top course trainer; although sprint-bred, 7f may suit on all-weather; more to come, especially up in trip. Dream Ahead colt who has shown modest form shown in his two runs; may do better.
6th	9 6th (9) (50/1 -488%) Populus		50 50/1(-488%)																															(9) Populus 50/1, Made minor late headway when beaten 5l in a maiden here last time. Bred for 6/7f and acts on all-weather; progressing steadily. Still green when fifth here last time; first start under the care of Stephen Hanlon.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 +13%) Star Of Emerald		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Star Of Emerald 7/1, 8,000 euros Recoletos colt; half-brother to Beautiful Heroine, high-class at 10f; trainer in form. A half-brother to five winners; this son of Recoletos is very much one to consider.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 0%) Evelyn's Garden		40 40/1(0%)																															(7) Evelyn's Garden 40/1, Time Test filly; full-sister to Times Ticking, useful at 8f as a 2yo; dam useful at 7f; faces a tough enough task on debut. Time Test filly; the betting can prove an accurate guide to this newcomer.
9th	11 9th (11) (300/1 -140%) Thependleburyfox		300 300/1(-140%)																															(11) Thependleburyfox 300/1, Missed the break and was always outpaced when well beaten in a maiden here on her only start. Sprint-bred and has plenty to prove. Failed to beat a rival in maiden here on her debut 25 days ago; significantly more needed.
10th	10 10th (10) (200/1 -203%) Spirit Of Tokyo		200 200/1(-203%)																															(10) Spirit Of Tokyo 200/1, 1,500gns Sergei Prokofiev filly; half-sister to Albert Camus, very useful at 12f; faces a tough enough task on debut.

Returns from a long absence and has plenty to find. Off for 13 months since coming in last of seven on her debut in 6f maiden here.

Somebody has filled the runner-up berth in five of his 12 previous starts and scores highly for reliability. However, he was well held when upped to 7f at Southwell and needs to settle better if he is going to get home over this stiffer course. EVOLVE, by contrast, was in the process of rallying when finishing fourth over 6f here and stepping up a furlong could be ideal at this stage. Maria Da Silva and Populus are also potential improvers.

Archie Watson has his string in good nick and his Sioux Nation newcomer LAKOTA CHIEF, who is bred to be above average, gets the nod

1	2 1st (2) (11/8 +21%) Big Zouk		1.375 11/8(+21%)																															(2) Big Zouk 11/8, Outpaced but ran to form and saw out the longer trip well when 11l third in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time. Trainer in form; effective from 2m to 3m, acts with cut; unexposed at 3m and could improve now chasing. Point winner; placed on last month's handicap hurdle debut; interesting on chase debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +44%) Rob Roy Macgregor		5 5/1(+44%)																															(5) Rob Roy Macgregor 5/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when below form in first-time visor, well beaten in a handicap chase here last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 3m, acts with cut; yet to build on a promising chase debut. Safely held over C&D in November but that was after a break; still unexposed over fences.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +0%) Jirko		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(4) Jirko 5/2, No match for the winner but ran to form when second, beaten 13l, in a handicap chase here last time. Effective at 3m and in good form since switching to fences. Placed in both chases, more recently when second over C&D six weeks ago; respected.
4	3 4th (3) (6/1 -80%) Torosay		6 6/1(-80%)																															(3) Torosay 6/1, Never travelled and had too much to do after a series of errors when well beaten in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time. Effective at 3m, acts on soft and good to soft; inconsistent overall. Didn't fire last time but is probably better judged on close second over C&D two runs ago.
5th	9 5th (9) (100/1 -150%) Muroor		100 100/1(-150%)																															(9) Muroor 100/1, Made mistakes and may have found the ground too soft when down the field in a handicap chase here last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 3m, needs decent ground; prefers positive handling but out of form. Went close at Hexham last spring but this 13yo is far too inconsistent to rely upon.
8	8 |PU| (8) (12/1 +52%) Euchan Falls		12 12/1(+52%)																															(8) Euchan Falls 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective at 2½m and just about gets 3m; currently out of form. In poor form over hurdles this winter and has too much to prove on chase return.
6	6 |PU| (6) (20/1 +29%) Maid Of Houxty		20 20/1(+29%)																															(6) Maid Of Houxty 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Carlisle last time. Suited by 3m and acts on heavy and good to soft ground; needs to prove her ability remains after a layoff. Pulled up twice since mammoth absence; needs to prove some ability remains.

Torosay is better judged on her C&D second rather than her subsequent Carlisle disappointment and the handicapper has aided her cause by dropping her 3lb. Jirko was no match for an easy winner here at the beginning of last month and remains capable of better, but the vote goes to chasing debutant BIG ZOUK. Nicky Richards' gelding won a point-to-point in February 2024 and the switch to fences can bring about the improvement required.

The suggestion is low-mileage 7yo BIG ZOUK, who was placed on last month's handicap debut and now makes his chasing debut.

Claimed after encouraging run here latest; 5lb rise but still nicely treated on old form.

Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather; more to come. Recent Newcastle winner; also C&D winner and should go well from a favourable draw.

Now 3lb higher and drawn wide; effective at 6/7f on the all-weather; respected off this mark. Fine C&D form of late and has gone well from a wide draw.
4	11 4th (11) (4/1 +50%) An Laochmor		4 4/1(+50%)																															(11) An Laochmor 4/1, No impact from a poor draw when beaten 4l in a handicap at Naas last time. Returning from a break and drawn wide; effective at 5/6f on the all-weather; a consistent maiden at a modest level. Debuts for respected trainer here (winner on Friday) off workable mark; draw not ideal.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -85%) Platino Bianco		12 12/1(-85%)																															(5) Platino Bianco 12/1, Travelled, improved landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on Y, GF and AW; player after latest. Recent Newcastle winner on yard debut; can go well from a good draw.
6th	9 6th (9) (8/1 -23%) Jackie Brown		8 8/1(-23%)																															(9) Jackie Brown 8/1, Finished well and ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Wide draw; effective at 6f on a sound surface; recent form encouraging and not ruled out. Couple of good C&D runs recently but outside draw a negative.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/2 +22%) Ballymagreehan		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(1) Ballymagreehan 7/2, Ran to form beaten 2l off this mark here last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; consistent type can go well again. Solid recent form over further but this drop in trip could find him out.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -186%) Carmina Burana		80 80/1(-186%)																															(12) Carmina Burana 80/1, Below form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 5/6f and handles all-weather; looks up against it again. Maiden whose recent runs here over 5f leaves her with a fair bit to find off basement mark.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 +11%) Charanda		16 16/1(+11%)																															(8) Charanda 16/1, Made too much use of and ran below form when beaten 10l in a handicap at Down Royal last time. Effective 5-7f; needs more to feature. Regressive early last year but rating has dropped accordingly; lacks a recent run.
10th	13 10th (13) (25/1 +11%) Fort Star		25 25/1(+11%)																															(13) Fort Star 25/1, Made late gains when up in trip but was beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 5/6f on a sound surface; others look stronger. Ran okay on return from a break over C&D last month; 3lb wrong but relatively unexposed..
11th	6 11th (6) (40/1 -82%) Star Allure		40 40/1(-82%)																															(6) Star Allure 40/1, Had the run of the race and improved but was likely flattered when 3l third in a maiden here last time. Effective 5-7f and acts on all-weather; has a chance back in a handicap. Recent maiden third makes her potentially well treated here if staying 6f.
12th	14 12th (14) (40/1 +0%) Spirit Of Eagles		40 40/1(+0%)																															(14) Spirit Of Eagles 40/1, Didn't get home when beaten 8l in a claimer here last time. Off a short break; effective 5-7f; inconsistent and on a long losing run but drop in trip should help. Win here came over two years ago (5f); good bit to find on recent form though.
13th	10 13th (10) (25/1 -25%) Moonhall Lass		25 25/1(-25%)																															(10) Moonhall Lass 25/1, Yard won this last year. Ran to form in a tongue-tie when beaten 3 1/4l off a 4lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 6/7f on a sound surface; still a maiden but handicapper has relented. Placed form here at 5f last season off higher marks; recent form not encouraging though.
14th	2 14th (2) (100/1 -100%) Greek Gift		100 100/1(-100%)																															(2) Greek Gift 100/1, Another poor run in a hood when down the field in a handicap here last time. Tongue-tie on for the first time and drawn wide; off a short break and best around 7f; has a bit to prove. Two runs for this yard have been poor, latest when hooded here in October; drops in trip.

MOUNT RUAPEHU benefited from a big drop in the weights when successful in December and is suited by today's conditions. Rated 85 at his peak in 2023, he dropped 16lb in nine months prior to scoring at Newcastle. He has been raised 5lb for that, but should prove competitive. Platino Bianco scored on just her second start on an all-weather surface, also at Newcastle last month. Rated in the high 60s at her peak in 2024, she was well held on her only previous course run in October but bounced back to form for new connections. Ballymagreehan has been running well but drops in distance, while Sovereign Banter has good recent form.

Perhaps WINEMAKER can make a winning start for his new yard off a nice mark, despite a 5lb rise for a recent claiming run here

1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +27%) Azucena		4 4/1(+27%)																															(5) Azucena 4/1, Had every chance and ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap here latest. Blinkers on for the first time. Ridden by a top course jockey. Suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface, and better on all-weather though an in-and-out performer. Signed off for Ann Duffield with a creditable C&D fourth; needs shortlisting for new yard.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/4 +13%) Digital		1.75 7/4(+13%)																															(2) Digital 7/4, Scored by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/4l off 58 last time and is 1lb higher here. Trainer in form. Effective at 5/6f, acts on all-weather, and goes well from the front. C&D winner who followed that with a very good C&D second latest; bold show on the cards.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +20%) Em Jay Kay		4 4/1(+20%)																															(1) Em Jay Kay 4/1, Scored by a nose off this mark here in November.

Running well until eighth last time; this course scorer can get back on track.

Effective at 5f and her mark is easing, but she needs to build on her latest effort and is not one to rely on. On a lengthy losing sequence but solid C&D third 12 days ago; in the mix once more.

Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather. Well treated if he can build on that recent revival. Back on track when third two weeks ago; course scorer can go well again.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +14%) Classy Clarets		12 12/1(+14%)																															(6) Classy Clarets 12/1, Far too free when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Blinkers on for the first time. Effective at 5-7f and suited by all-weather, but he has lost form. Below par in pair of 6f h'caps here for new yard recently; blinkers are reached for now.

DIGITAL has bounced back to form on his last couple of starts over C&D, winning just before Christmas before finishing second on New Year's Day. Ruth Carr's gelding makes plenty of appeal in his bid to go one better. La Rochette was one place behind the selection on the latter occasion and would be a threat if backing that performance up. Others to note are He's An Angel and Azucena.

In-form DIGITAL has been helped by reapplied cheekpieces and gets the nod to bag a second recent C&D win.

Teenager; won here off much reduced mark last March; not in same form yet this season.
6th	9 6th (9) (125/1 -150%) Don Occhetti		125 125/1(-150%)																															(9) Don Occhetti 125/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time; wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective over 2m and acts on a sound surface; needs to prove his ability remains after a long layoff. Pulled-up 66-1 shot here (2m4f) on recent stable debut.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -167%) Mr Lincoln		20 20/1(-167%)																															(6) Mr Lincoln 20/1, Made mistakes and looked green when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Kelso last time; suited by 2m and acts on heavy and good; a threat on his Irish form but struggling for new yard after a layoff. Did not get competitive on first two stable runs; still worth a market check, though.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -52%) Sao Carlos		50 50/1(-52%)																															(8) Sao Carlos 50/1, Up in trip and didn't stay on rain-softened ground when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last time; effective at 2m and acts on good; form has tailed off lately.

4	4 |PU| (4) (40/1 -43%) Jiair Madrik		40 40/1(-43%)																															(4) Jiair Madrik 40/1, Ran to a poor level back from an absence when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; effective from 2m2f to 2m4f and acts on heavy and soft; still no headgear and may need more time. Returned from long absence with 45l defeat on last month's British debut.

A switch to more positive tactics saw HE'S BRESILIAN make all in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle. The six-year-old returns to handicap company off what looks a fair mark and a similar approach may see him follow up. Tread Softly Now arrives on the back of a close-up second at Kelso and is feared most, for all that a 4lb higher rating demands more. Dance Thief could also feature after an encouraging fifth-placed reappearance over C&D.

In-form mare TREAD SOFTLY NOW ran a big race in defeat at Kelso a fortnight ago and is taken to record her third course win.

Speedily bred and open to improvement. Sent off 22-1 for debut and well beaten; improvement required.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/9 +60%) This Guy		0.444444 4/9(+60%)																															(4) This Guy 4/9, Yard won this last year; excellent effort off the front when second beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden here latest; effective at 5/6f, acts on GF and AW, goes well off the front; in good form. Consistent form in three runs here; runner-up last twice and can get deserved win now.

5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 +50%) Lock'd Up Lane		40 40/1(+50%)																															(7) Lock'd Up Lane 40/1, Impeded early and made a moderate debut when well beaten in an auction race at Navan on only start. Returns from a short break and has plenty to prove until handicapping. In rear throughout when unfancied for debut; makes stable debut now but others preferred.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 +0%) Chirac		8 8/1(+0%)																															(2) Chirac 8/1, Eased once beaten and may not have stayed when well beaten in a maiden here on only start.

7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 +38%) Princess Chloe		25 25/1(+38%)																															(8) Princess Chloe 25/1, Yard won this last year. Kessaar filly, half-sister to winners including Latifolia, a useful 7f performer in Qatar. Tongue-tied on debut and faces a tough task.

9th	5 9th (5) (125/1 -25%) Double Clutching		125 125/1(-25%)																															(5) Double Clutching 125/1, Tired badly late, probably needing the run when well beaten in a maiden here on only start. Speedily bred and faces a stiff task. Finished 21l behind on debut over 7f here last time when 50-1; hard to fancy.
10th	1 10th (1) (16/1 +0%) Cash On Black		16 16/1(+0%)																															(1) Cash On Black 16/1, Showed a good attitude and solid effort when beaten 7l in a maiden here on debut. By a sprinting sire out of a dam who stayed 10f; sound surfaces suit his action and he should improve. Ran keenly on debut before fading into sixth at 22-1; that's something to build on.

There are no previous winners in this and it looks like a nice opportunity for THIS GUY to gain a deserved success. The Blue Point gelding has been placed on his three starts since joining Danny Murphy and lost out by the narrowest of margins over C&D last month. He was a solid second here subsequently and sets the standard with his mark of 74. Joseph O'Brien runs two and they look the most likely dangers. Electric Night may improve a bit from her initial effort here last month, while newcomer Passage Of Power is one to note in the market. The US-bred colt is a out of Grade 1 winner Civil Union.

This looks like a good opportunity for THIS GUY to get his well-deserved win following three placings here recently

2	4 2nd (4) (13/8 +28%) The Green Man		1.625 13/8(+28%)																															(4) The Green Man 13/8, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Too much to do when ridden to see out the trip and ran to form when third, beaten 1/2l off 72 last time. 1lb higher now; effective 6-8f, acts on any surface, and looks fairly treated. Unexposed at 1m. Luckless C&D third (Flying Fletcher second) last time; could easily make amends.

Returning from a short break; effective over 7f/1m and acts on a sound surface. Thriving over this C&D lately, but his revised mark demands more.

6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +39%) Lessay		20 20/1(+39%)																															(7) Lessay 20/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in December. Outpaced and never threatened when seventh, beaten 7 1/2l off 67 last time, 1lb lower here. Effective over 7f/1m and acts on all-weather; can do better but his run style requires things to drop right. 2nd here (7f) in December; less effective over further since and looks the least likeliest.
7th	5 7th (5) (11/2 +31%) Eve's Boy		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(5) Eve's Boy 11/2, Never threatened when poorly placed off a modest gallop, beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Has a top course jockey. Effective over 7f/1m and acts on all-weather; currently in moderate form. Failed to settle when seventh (behind three of these) over C&D last time.

A C&D handicap on New Year's Day might hold the key to this contest, with Flying Fletcher faring best of those who reappear in second. However, third home THE GREEN MAN can reverse the form. Slowly away before meeting trouble when attempting to challenge, Phil Kirby's gelding may well have won and is taken to gain compensation. Criminal Shore appears best of the remainder.

A luckless third over C&D at the start of the month, THE GREEN MAN (nap) is fancied to make amends.

Having had something in hand when making a successful Rules bow over track and trip, COCONUT MAN may prove tough to crack. Reopposing runner-up Kingsman Mail is entitled to improve for that experience and should give another good account, although a bigger danger may emerge in the shape of winning pointer Mcelhattan. Donald McCain has his string in good order and market support for his Yeats gelding would be interesting.

He has a 7lb penalty to carry this time but COCONUT MAN beat Kingsman Mail fairly comfortably over C&D on his rules debut.

9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 +52%) Practical Move		16 16/1(+52%)																															(5) Practical Move 16/1, May not have stayed 6f off a fast pace when down the field in a nursery here last time after earlier good form. Effective at 5f or 6f on the all-weather but has something to prove off her current mark in handicaps. Not disgraced in maidens and outran 50-1 odds here in Sept'; way below best last time.
10th	8 10th (8) (8/1 -7%) Dakota Dancer		8 8/1(-7%)																															(8) Dakota Dancer 8/1, Ran to form down in trip when beaten 8l in a maiden here last time. Likely to prefer 7f but acts on the all-weather. Could improve now switched to handicaps. Just slight promise in opening maidens and others preferred on form to date.

FRIENDLY INVOICE may be able to follow up after getting off the mark over C&D in November. The Invincible Army filly showed significant improvement when scoring at a big price and looks capable of progressing judged on that performance. Nicola Burns takes the ride as connections bid to offset some of her 8lb rise. Cause I Like You has performed with credit in a couple of maidens here, at massive prices. She could be a big player now in handicap company. The Love Machine hasn't been far away here and is another to consider.

Repeatedly denied a clear run, and clipping heels last time, BATTLEFORSUPREMACY (nap) can go well with better luck

Effective over 5/6f and acts on all-weather. On an upward curve, and a 3lb rise could prove lenient. Notched another C&D win on New Year's Day; 3lb rise offset by redeployment of Rhys Elliott.

Having secured a second career victory over 6f here last month, a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing from Heavenly Heather. However, a drop to the minimum distance could leave the Shamardal mare vulnerable, with preference for recent C&D winner KING'S CROWN. The six-year-old has been in fine fettle of late and a third triumph in his last four outings is a distinct possibility. Lethal Nymph is a feasible alternative.

The claimer ridden King's Crown should be thereabouts but, with Newcastle a more suitable fit, preference is for MONKS DREAM.

EMPEROR'S SON was able to build on a couple of positive efforts to score at Wolverhampton and looks to have been found another excellent chance, with Warren Fentiman's claim negating the 3lb rise incurred. A 5lb penalty asks more of Popular Dream but he merits respect, as do Beaumadier and Brazilian Belle, who were defeated by the aforementioned pair last time. There is still plenty of life in nine-year-old Birkenhead and he is by no means out of this.

The lack of course experience needn't weigh too heavily on EMPEROR'S SON (nap) and he can follow up his recent Wolverhampton win.

LIMESTONE RED looks capable of landing one of these off his mark. The Cotai Glory gelding was a solid enough fifth here and has a better draw now. He was runner-up from a low box on his penultimate outing and has also eased 1lb to the same rating. Mapa has been knocking on the door and looks like a potential danger. She was also second on her penultimate outing and ran a solid race when fourth on her most recent visit. Aingeal Dorcha may benefit from dropping back from 1m4f and was narrowly denied over track and trip on his penultimate run.

Despite a record of 1-25, the vote goes to LIMESTONE RED who has been in solid form over C&D recently

AISLING OSCAR hasn't looked back since switching to the Adrian Keatley yard and a five-timer could be on the cards. A 4lb rise in the ratings for the five-year-old's latest triumph over 1m here appears surmountable and he gets the nod over Wyvern, who arrives on the back of a C&D victory and another bold bid beckons. Fellow last-time-out winner Moyowasi completes the shortlist.

With four successive AW wins banked, the superbly placed AISLING OSCAR is still eligible for lowly 0-60s, and rates as the pick.

LAURENS DREAM lost little in defeat when chasing home a subsequent winner at Newcastle on Friday and, kept to this level, compensation might await Mick and David Easterby's four-year-old. Zaramara needs to find some improvement, but she has few miles on the clock and is likely to appreciate an ease in class. On these terms, Headshot should make his presence felt.

Having made an encouraging classified debut four days ago, LAURENS DREAM is preferred. My Boy Jack is second pick.

STORM ERIC's three wins have come over shorter, but he may benefit from stepping up in trip again at this stage of his career. The seven-year-old kept on well when third to Georg Zhukov over a mile last week, an improvement on previous runs here over shorter. He has been runner-up over C&D in the past. Thompson Gunner had some solid runs here before the turn of the year and is a danger. Barretstown was a track-and-trip winner in September and is another to consider now coming back off a little break.

Hampered at a crucial stage over 1m4f here last time, THOMPSON GUNNER has been running well over C&D recently and can get off the mark

Turned out quickly under a penalty, this appears to be all about PINK SOCKS. Ian Williams' mare bolted up in a similar event at Newcastle on Saturday and although she's not been the most reliable previously, this will not take much winning. There are a few class droppers to be wary of, namely dual course winner Kodebreaker, who has posted a few positive efforts in handicaps of late. Aim For The Bull has yet to score, but last month's C&D second suggests he ought to be more than capable.

Judged on the manner of her Newcastle win, PINK SOCKS looks set to defy a penalty. American Rose is second choice.

1	4 1st (4) (11/8 +0%) Shiplake		1.375 11/8(+0%)																															(4) Shiplake 11/8, Too keen but strong at finish landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 6/7f, acts on GS, AW; in form and go well again. Gelded and on up for current yard, bagging C&D handicap 53 days ago; weighted to go close.

On a losing run but not disgraced when sixth in handicap here 12 days ago; not ruled out.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +77%) Candonomore		2.5 5/2(+77%)																															(5) Candonomore 5/2, A bit below form when slow to start and beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; off a short break; effective from 7f to 10f and handles any surface; still on a competitive mark. Ended time with Tim Easterby with good Newmarket fifth; likely player for in-form new yard.
4	6 4th (6) (13/2 -8%) The Turpinator		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(6) The Turpinator 13/2, Best work late back up in trip when beaten a neck off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, probably needs a sound surface; can go well again. Back on track when runner-up at Wolverhampton; veteran can go well off the same mark.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -340%) Invited		11 11/1(-340%)																															(1) Invited 11/1, Made all and ran to form when landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective at 7f or 8f and handles a sound surface; drop in trip should suit.

6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -120%) Good Morning Alex		22 22/1(-120%)																															(3) Good Morning Alex 22/1, Ran to form when beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark at Carlisle last time; best at 8f and acts on all-weather; off since last summer but capable of a good run. Course scorer; off since good Carlisle second in June so needs to hit the ground running.

INVITED appreciated a drop to this level when he making all over a mile at Lingfield and a 2lb rise looks fair. However, he is likely to face competition for the lead on this occasion and still needs to raise his game back over 7f. Shiplake went up 7lb for November's C&D success and now requires another personal best. Therefore, Good Morning Alex, who has won on the back of a break previously, could be a bigger danger with his effectiveness at this course also proven.

Stuart Williams has his string in fine nick so new recruit CANDONOMORE, a three-time scorer in 2025, is taken to give him another win

1	11 1st (11) (16/1 -45%) Good Earth		16 16/1(-45%)																															(11) Good Earth 16/1, Stable won this race last year. Produced best work late when up in trip and beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time. Has a wide draw; suited by 5f to 6f and acts on any going; well treated on current mark. Veteran on a losing run of 18; work to do with Cargin Bhui on latest Wolverhampton run.
2	12 2nd (12) (10/3 +44%) Clover Time		3.333333 10/3(+44%)																															(12) Clover Time 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. From a top course trainer; effective over 5f to 6f on a sound surface; has been running well in cheekpieces and should remain competitive. 0-10 but he ended 2025 with four second-place finishes; should be involved once again.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/8 +28%) Cargin Bhui		1.625 13/8(+28%)																															(3) Cargin Bhui 13/8, Raced wide and should have won when beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Has a wide draw; effective over 6f to 7f and acts on all-weather; likely to go close off the same mark. Bumped into handicap blot when 2nd (front two clear) at Wolverhampton latest; big player.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 +0%) Sub Thirteen		18 18/1(+0%)																															(6) Sub Thirteen 18/1, Lacked pace to get involved when beaten 4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Had been in good form prior; wide draw; effective over 5f to 6f and acts on all-weather; mark remains fair. Still seeking a first AW win but his penultimate run was promising; not so good latest.
5th	10 5th (10) (7/1 -17%) Minnesota Lad		7 7/1(-17%)																															(10) Minnesota Lad 7/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 6f and acts on any going; down to a reasonable mark but on a long losing run. Expensive to follow for current stable; latest C&D 2nd gives him solid form claims though.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +33%) Showtime Mahomes		4 4/1(+33%)																															(1) Showtime Mahomes 4/1, Strong at the finish, scoring with a bit in hand when landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Usually held up; effective over 5f to 6f and acts on any going; remains on a fair mark. Stayed on well to win over C&D last week; penalised but down in class; each-way shout.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 +36%) Pickering Castle		16 16/1(+36%)																															(4) Pickering Castle 16/1, No show from off the pace, beaten 8l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Trainer in form; effective over 6f to 7f and acts on all-weather; mark continues to ease. Well short of his best on last two starts but now drops in class with his yard going well.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -87%) Ottawa		14 14/1(-87%)																															(2) Ottawa 14/1, Ran to form for a breakthrough win, landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 6f and acts on all-weather; still on a competitive mark. Off the mark when winning C&D handicap last month; needs more to follow up in a deep race.
9th	9 9th (9) (33/1 -18%) Dapperling		33 33/1(-18%)																															(9) Dapperling 33/1, A bit below form when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time. Effective over 5f to 6f and acts on all-weather; inconsistent, with slow starts proving an issue. Promise over 5f here last month but no so good behind Ottawa over C&D 26 days ago.

CARGIN BHUI returned from a break with a close second at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and can go one better this time. Rated 82 at his peak, he's now too well treated to ignore, especially with his match-fitness topped up. Showtime Mahomes shoulders a 4lb penalty having won over C&D last week and this represents a drop in class. He rates a bigger danger than Ottawa, who was a surprise winner here last month and needs to prove that wasn't a fluke.

Although CARGIN BHUI was beaten at odds-on last time, the mare that beat him was well handicapped and enjoyed the run of the race.

Returning from a long layoff and should improve, giving her a chance in a weak race. Hinted at ability in Lingfield contest last January for Charlie Johnston.
6th	9 6th (9) (33/1 -106%) Sirhana		33 33/1(-106%)																															(9) Sirhana 33/1, Outpaced early but made minor late gains and was not knocked about when beaten 9 1/2l in a novice at Chelmsford on debut.

7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -300%) Love Alive		20 20/1(-300%)																															(4) Love Alive 20/1, Too keen and a bit below form when beaten 7 1/4l in a nursery at Chelmsford last time.

8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 +0%) Power Of Chora		25 25/1(+0%)																															(7) Power Of Chora 25/1, Ran to debut form when made plenty of use of, beaten 6l in a novice here last time. Stays 7f and acts on the all-weather; could improve with steadier fractions. Latest 7f effort suggests this drop in trip may prompt improvement.

Has a wide draw and looks an unlikely winner on debut, though this is a weak race. 17,000gns foal; by Mohaather; looks one of the better types among the debutantes.

With an official rating of just 71, Love Alive sets only a modest standard. However, reverting to novice company could be a good move and she is one to monitor closely in the betting. Nevertheless, AUTUMN AFFAIR was a respectable second to a now 84-rated opponent on her racecourse debut at Wolverhampton last month and it's logical to suggest the filly can take a step forward with the benefit of experience. Pantheon Princess and Maybe Soon are interesting newcomers in a moderate event.

Wolverhampton runner-up AUTUMN AFFAIR is taken to go one better and emulate her siblings by winning on AW second time out.

Now 1lb higher; trainer in form. Suited by 5f and acts on all-weather; in fine form and should go well again. May remain competitive but it's a long while since he defied this sort of mark.

Although foiled in his hat-trick bid when finishing a close-up second over C&D recently, ZIGGY'S TRITON lost little in defeat. The four-year-old makes plenty of appeal from an unchanged mark and the introduction of a visor may prove fruitful. Paddy's Day secured an eighth all-weather triumph at Newcastle last month and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of fellow in-form rival Alligator Alley.

Judged on his recent C&D form, ZIGGY'S TRITON holds particularly solid claims. Atomic Force is second choice.

Having opened his account in fine style at Wolverhampton, Codiak merits consideration on his return to handicap company. However, the four-year-old is now 7lb higher than for his close-up second at Redcar in November and CANNON ROCK may prove to be better treated. James Owen's charge has been rejuvenated since having blinkers applied last month and a 5lb rise for his most recent success looks workable. Machete can make his presence felt too.

A competitive race may go to CANNON ROCK who is still on a reasonably tempting mark despite a Wolverhampton win last time out.

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.
