Won in good style on chase debut then scuppered by early mistake at Newbury last month.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +55%) Queensbury Boy		2.25 9/4(+55%)																															(5) Queensbury Boy 9/4, Never competitive after series of errors when beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Kempton last time; effective 2m4f on S, G; fair mark on hurdle form but jumping must improve. Fifth on both chase starts but unlucky on first occasion; the step up in trip could help.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +47%) Saint Davy		4 4/1(+47%)																															(3) Saint Davy 4/1, Too keen tried in blinkers when pulled up in Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter latest; cheekpieces first time; returning from long layoff; effective 2m4f-3m with plenty of cut; likely to need this. Things went wrong way last season after promising reappearance but a break may have helped.

Effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft or good ground, and looks to have more to offer over fences. Won at Kelso last month and yard excels with progressive staying chasers; in calculations.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 -129%) Gamesters Guy		4 4/1(-129%)																															(1) Gamesters Guy 4/1, Improved from debut up in trip when winning a novice chase at Doncaster by 1/2l last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on S, GS; more to come over fences as a stayer. Won two-runner novice at Doncaster in second chase; could have more to offer over fences.

GAMESTERS GUY turned over a red-hot favourite in a Doncaster match and is expected to have a lot more to offer. The seven-year-old has been set some stiff assignments in his relatively short career to date, but hasn't done a great deal wrong. He is preferred to Guard The Moon, who made a race-ending blunder at Newbury following a successful chasing bow and it is that Aintree display which makes him of interest. King Of Answers put an ordinary first effort over fences behind him when going in at Kelso, although he will find this a lot tougher.

A break may have been beneficial for SAINT DAVY, who is very much of interest off this mark judged on last season's reappearance effort.

Won comfortably on heavy ground last month; 10lb higher and back on a quicker surface here.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +61%) Tzarmix		2.75 11/4(+61%)																															(3) Tzarmix 11/4, Scored by 6½l off a 6lb lower mark at Ludlow on his penultimate start; effective at 3m and handles decent ground; back in form and remains well treated on his best efforts. Won at Ludlow last month, after a break, and went close at Hereford soon afterwards.

Won twice here last year (2m4f/2m7f) but might find this race too competitive.
4	7 4th (7) (50/1 +24%) Face D'music		50 50/1(+24%)																															(7) Face D'music 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Taunton latest; blinkers on for the first time; effective at 3m but currently out of form.

Ended 2025 with two wins; contests much deeper race today but evidently in very good nick.
7th	2 7th (2) (22/1 -57%) Hudson		22 22/1(-57%)																															(2) Hudson 22/1, Ran to form on stable debut, beaten 2¼l off a 1lb higher mark at Exeter last time; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; showed useful French Flat form, progressing over hurdles, on a fair mark and could improve over fences. Close fourth over 2m on stable debut; first run beyond 2m3f today; a possible.

Won twice in the autumn (3m1f/2m5f) and also ran well when third on next two outings.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/2 -22%) Gotthereintheend		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(8) Gotthereintheend 11/2, Travelled strongly and improved when suited by a positive ride, landing a handicap by 6½l off a 9lb lower mark here last time; effective from 2m to 2½m, acts on good to soft and good; not fully exposed and could build on that winning return. Made all for clear 2m4f win here on Boxing Day; might improve again over this new trip.

AVADA KEDAVRA appears to have turned a corner since being stepped up in trip and arrives following successes at Taunton and Plumpton. A 5lb rise for his most recent victory seems more than fair and David Bridgwater's gelding is taken to land the hat-trick. Gotthereintheend won as she pleased here on Boxing Day and has to be respected, despite going up 9lb. Others to note are Princesse Milania and Born In The West.

The suggestion is GOTTHEREINTHEEND, who looked in excellent nick when dominating from the front over 2m4f here on Boxing Day.

Trainer in form; suited by 7/8f and acts on AW; drop in trip looks fine. Six-time AW winner but is more exposed than most of today's rivals.

7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -33%) Rajindri		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Rajindri 16/1, Well below form when finishing down the field in the Prix Miss Satamixa (Listed) at Deauville last time; in good form prior and has a significant jockey booking. Effective at 7/8f, acts on AW; capable but needs to bounce back. Mixed results in a light 2025 campaign; by no means certain to defy top weight.
8th	6 8th (6) (15/2 +17%) Stellenbosch		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(6) Stellenbosch 15/2, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford two starts ago; ran to form last time and is 1lb higher here.

Nikki Swango has been absolutely flying at Dundalk, but her compatriot INDIGO DREAM might be the better value. Ross O'Sullivan's filly broke through as her odds suggested she would last month and her early form, especially her Curragh second to the classy Red Letter, suggests she could be well treated off 83 for her handicap debut. Bela Sonata ran out a comprehensive winner at Newbury on her first foray outside of maiden/novice company and has been freshened up since. Stellenbosch and Stateira also enter the equation in a good race.

Lightly raced BELA SONATA is particularly interesting and she's first choice ahead of Mollie Foster.

Won his first two chases; made mistakes on next two starts; chance if cutting out blunders.

BE AWARE had the unenviable task of chasing home Lulamba in the Henry VIII but he stuck to his guns well and although expected to be most effective over further, he possesses the necessary pace for this task. Alnilam's jumping let him down in that Sandown Grade 1, and again in the Wayward Lad at Kempton when Hansard was a couple of positions ahead of him in second. No Questions Asked could only manage third when sent off favourite for an Ascot Grade 2, but he travelled well and is interesting now back at 2m.

Having bumped into Arkle favourite Lulamba when second at Sandown, this could be a good opportunity for BE AWARE.

Enjoys making the running and effective at 2 1/2m on soft or good ground; still looks fairly treated. Didn't jump well enough last time but still has good strike-rate over fences (4-9).
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +38%) Mahons Glory		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(5) Mahons Glory 5/2, Kicked clear and made too much use of himself up in trip when outstayed and beaten 5 1/2l in the Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree last time. Enjoys forcing the pace and is effective from 2m4f to 2m6f; in form and worth dropping back in trip off what looks fair mark. Generally in very good form for this stable since last spring and current mark is workable.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/4 -10%) Doyen Du Bar		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(6) Doyen Du Bar 11/4, Ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark at Wetherby last time; likes to make the running and is effective at 2m.

MAHONS GLORY was far from disgraced when filling fifth place in the Becher Chase at Aintree, where the trip probably stretched his stamina. Fourth in the Grand Sefton there prior to that, the 10-year-old is likely to go well if transferring that form to regulation fences. Doyen Du Bar remains unexposed for a horse of his age and Nicky Richards' gelding should not be underestimated. Bill Baxter and Filanderer enter the equation too.

After two commendable runs over the big Aintree fences, MAHONS GLORY (nap) is taken to dominate this lesser contest from the front.

Effective from 12f to 16f and acts on all-weather. Worth a step back up in trip. He's had mixed fortunes over 2m and probably ideally suited by shorter.

8th	9 8th (9) (7/1 -8%) New York Minute		7 7/1(-8%)																															(9) New York Minute 7/1, Scored by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell penultimate start; ran to form last time, 2lb higher here; effective 12-17f, acts on any; strong stayer to go well again. Failed in his bid for a four-timer but ran Berkshire Sundance close at Kempton.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/1 +30%) Tryfan		7 7/1(+30%)																															(8) Tryfan 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time. Effective from 12f to 16f and suited by a sound surface. Needs more off this mark. Second of 19 over C&D last summer and has since won comfortably at Southwell.
10th	6 10th (6) (4/1 +11%) Berkshire Sundance		4 4/1(+11%)																															(6) Berkshire Sundance 4/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Effective up to 16f and acts on all-weather. A 6yo who remains firmly on the up. All five career wins have come in his last eight races so something has clicked.
11th	4 11th (4) (7/1 +42%) Sheradann		7 7/1(+42%)																															(4) Sheradann 7/1, Won by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton on his penultimate start. Better than the result when hampered late last time and runs off the same mark here. Significant jockey booking and considered over 16f on the all-weather. Kempton winner in October but only tenth there last time, behind Duke Of Oxford.

Berkshire Sundance got the better of New York Minute by half a length at Kempton last month and that form is likely to be upheld, despite the revised terms. Even so, TRYFAN looks the way to go. Harry Charlton's charge finished a fair third in this grade over 1m4f at Southwell in November and goes off an unchanged rating. He was a neck in front of Sheradann in second when last seen over the marathon trip in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle in June and could regain the winning thread.

Very competitive. DUKE OF OXFORD excels at Kempton where he won last time but he was placed in a Northumberland Plate here.

Opened her rules account in Uttoxeter event last time; may show further progress.
3	3 3rd (3) (40/1 -122%) All The Glory		40 40/1(-122%)																															(3) All The Glory 40/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced, possibly finding the ground too testing when 27l third in a novice chase at Exeter last time. Effective 2m-2m2f on a sound surface and needs to find more. Has failed to back up reappearance effort but is now 2lb below last winning hurdles mark.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 -33%) Georgi Girl		16 16/1(-33%)																															(5) Georgi Girl 16/1, Found little up the hill when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground but can be a weak finisher. Has failed to show her form in two starts this season, taking chase record to 0-6.
5th	2 5th (2) (2/1 +50%) Hollygrove Cha Cha		2 2/1(+50%)																															(2) Hollygrove Cha Cha 2/1, Improved from debut, down in trip and suited by positive ride when winning a novice chase at Exeter by 5l last time; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on any; more to come over fences, good chance of confirming form with Bluey. Progressive; beat Bluey at Exeter most recently, taking overall record to 6-9; respected.
6th	9 6th (9) (22/1 -83%) Followango		22 22/1(-83%)																															(9) Followango 22/1, Poor effort back chasing when well beaten in a handicap at Hereford last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective from 2m4f to 3m1f and acts on soft or good ground. Needs to rebound. Chance of landing this prize largely depends on how well she responds to headgear.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/2 -35%) Alfie's Princess		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(4) Alfie's Princess 9/2, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Effective 2m-2m5f and handles soft and good to soft ground. Has more to offer. Scored comfortably at Wincanton on reappearance and may continue to improve; big player.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -75%) Ostrava Du Berlais		28 28/1(-75%)																															(8) Ostrava Du Berlais 28/1, Made mistakes when pulled up in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time. Effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface and now wears a hood again; needs to bounce back. May need a return to calmer waters; gained her only wins in Class 4 and Class 5.
6	6 |PU| (6) (22/1 -83%) Malaita		22 22/1(-83%)																															(6) Malaita 22/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 11l, in a handicap chase at Hereford last time. Enjoys making the running and is effective from 2m4f to 3m1f on decent ground. Fair chance again. Currently in a consistent vein of form but this 10yo faces some improving types.

ALFIE'S PRINCESS was returning from a lengthy break when winning over this trip at Wincanton on Boxing Day and Sam Thomas' mare can follow up here, despite a 5lb rise. Hollygrove Cha Cha also struck on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Largy Force and Bluey are others who are capable of going very well.

The last-time winners look open to further progress. First choice is LARGY FORCE, ahead of Alfie's Princess.

Kept on for second on debut but was no match for clear winner The Flaggy Shore.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -129%) Red Wine Supernova		16 16/1(-129%)																															(7) Red Wine Supernova 16/1, Last year's winning yard; impressive debut winner by 3 1/4l in a mares' bumper at Sedgefield; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; more needed up in grade but not dismissed. Beat only three rivals on recent rules debut at Sedgefield but did so comfortably.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -56%) Potters Angeltiers		125 125/1(-56%)																															(6) Potters Angeltiers 125/1, Benefited from an easy lead when 4 1/2l third in a maiden bumper at Huntingdon last time; should stay 2m but faces a stiff task rising in class. Improved form when 100-1 third at Huntingdon last month; needs another big step forward.
7th	9 7th (9) (4/1 +60%) Galaxy Star		4 4/1(+60%)																															(9) Galaxy Star 4/1, Improved from debut when second, beaten a head, in a mares' bumper at Newbury last time; effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; debut form franked in Grade 2 over hurdles; consistent and looks capable of another bold show.

1	1 |PU| (1) (14/1 -56%) Analitheia		14 14/1(-56%)																															(1) Analitheia 14/1, Quickened clear cosily for a 5l bumper win at Exeter on debut; effective at 2m and acts on soft; more required now raised in class. Created good impression when beating males on soft ground at Exeter last month.

Katios Queen was third in a similar event at Huntingdon last month and is likely to go very well once again, but preference is for RED WINE SUPERNOVA. David Pipe's mare created a good impression when winning on her Rules bow at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and she is likely to have plenty of improvement forthcoming. The Flaggy Shore edges out Malina Road and Lady Litigator to be best of the rest.

There is no strong temptation to oppose THE FLAGGY SHORE, who was very impressive when darting clear of Jollie Dame at Warwick.

1	4 1st (4) (25/1 -39%) King's Code		25 25/1(-39%)																															(4) King's Code 25/1, Scored by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Chelmsford three starts back and ran to form last time. Now 1lb lower and effective from 10f to 12f on all-weather. The handicapper may have caught up. Bang in form but might be a shade high in the weights now for a race this hotly contested.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +31%) Parlando		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(8) Parlando 9/2, Picked up well from off the pace, strong at finish in landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 8-10f, acts on GS, GF and AW; respected in hat-trick bid. Had 26 races but arrives here in career-best form and handicapped to go well.
3	3 3rd (3) (22/1 -144%) Beylerbeyi		22 22/1(-144%)																															(3) Beylerbeyi 22/1, Ridden confidently and improved in a new headgear combination when landing the Cesarewitch Handicap by 1 1/4l off an 8lb lower mark at Newmarket last time. Usually held up and effective from 12f to 18f, but more needed off a higher mark dropping markedly in trip. Cesarewitch winner; 8lb higher this afternoon and he's returning from a lengthy break.
4	11 4th (11) (13/2 -63%) Time Loop		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(11) Time Loop 13/2, Ran to form when second beaten a short-head in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; significant jockey booking; effective 8-10f, acts on Hy, AW; more to come now handicapping. Improving mare from a top yard and could be on a good mark for this handicap debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 -22%) Teumessias Fox		11 11/1(-22%)																															(2) Teumessias Fox 11/1, The yard won this last year. Ran to form despite a slow start when beaten 1 1/2l off this mark here last time. Off a short break and effective from 10f to 12f on a sound surface, so capable off this mark. Capable of being in the shake-up granted a solid pace to chase; claimer enlisted.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/4 +70%) Regal Ulixes		1.5 6/4(+70%)																															(5) Regal Ulixes 6/4, Yard won this last year; didn't stay and probably out of depth well beaten in King Edward VII Stakes (Group 2) at Ascot latest; in good form prior; suited by 8-10f, acts on S, G; more to come handicapping back from a break. 2-4 and gelded since finishing seventh in a 1m4f Group 2 at Royal Ascot.
7th	1 7th (1) (6/1 +63%) Military Academy		6 6/1(+63%)																															(1) Military Academy 6/1, Bit below form when tried in a visor and beaten 5l in the Quebec Stakes (Listed) at Lingfield last time. The trainer is in form, and he's suited by 1m4f with some give, but has something to prove at present. Not seen to best effect on recent stable debut and too classy to put a line through.
8th	12 8th (12) (18/1 -13%) Dark Moon Rising		18 18/1(-13%)																															(12) Dark Moon Rising 18/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off a 5lb lower mark at York last time. Off a short break and effective from 10f to 12f on all-weather, though inconsistent but capable. Went up 5lb for narrow York defeat in October but he can deal with this mark.
9th	9 9th (9) (12/1 +0%) Cristo		12 12/1(+0%)																															(9) Cristo 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Returning from a long layoff but effective from 7f to 10f on all-weather and can go well again. Ran well in defeat here in May; now gelded and there could be more to come as a 4yo.
10th	13 10th (13) (28/1 -133%) Zryan		28 28/1(-133%)																															(13) Zryan 28/1, Scored by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton two starts back and ran to form last time off the same mark. Effective from 8f to 10f on all-weather and remains in good form. Running well but was put in his place by Parlando off this mark three weeks ago.
11th	6 11th (6) (33/1 +0%) Storm Catcher		33 33/1(+0%)																															(6) Storm Catcher 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective from 8f to 12f on all-weather, but others look stronger. Multiple AW winner but looks vulnerable at the minute in a race of this nature.
12th	14 12th (14) (20/1 -100%) Flame Of Forest		20 20/1(-100%)																															(14) Flame Of Forest 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective from 7f to 9f on all-weather; a big gelding with more to come. Looks ready for this stiffer stamina test but he has raised in grade from a Class 4.
13th	7 13th (7) (40/1 -344%) Night Breeze		40 40/1(-344%)																															(7) Night Breeze 40/1, Travelled well and ran to form when landing the Shergar Cup Challenge by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Ascot last time. Enjoys making the running, effective from 10f to 12f on a sound surface, and capable after a break. Won at Ascot in August despite a wide trip and only 4lb higher now; placed form here.

Despite being disadvantaged by a slow pace, Teumessias Fox did well to finish as close as he did when third over C&D last time and remains on a workable rating. He needs to be taken seriously, along with the hat-trick seeking Midnight Lion, but it may pay to side with TIME LOOP. William Haggas' mare made a deep impression when returning from a long time away from the track at Chelmsford in November, prior to just being touched off into second under a penalty at Wolverhampton. An opening mark of 87 may prove workable and she looks the one to side with.

This will take some winning. As it could be run at a true pace it may pay to risk TEUMESSIAS FOX who is a classy operator on the AW.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Looks to have reached his level over hurdles but can still have a say. Outstayed when fourth in 3m Grade 1 Long Walk and one to consider now back down in trip.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Altobelli		5 5/1(+29%)																															(4) Altobelli 5/1, Didn't stay when comfortably held in the Long Walk Hurdle (Grade 1) at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on soft and good ground, and goes well at Ascot. Has a bit to find in this company. Best runs have come at Ascot; not had many chances elsewhere; in the picture on peak form.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 -17%) Take No Chances		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(3) Take No Chances 7/2, Outpaced and had too much to do but ran to form when 4l third in the Long Distance Hurdle (Grade 2) at Newbury on her latest start. The trainer is in form. Effective from 2m to 3m and an admirably consistent mare. Running really well in defeat against males in 3m Grade 2s; fine now back down in trip.
4	1 4th (1) (15/8 -15%) Nemean Lion		1.875 15/8(-15%)																															(1) Nemean Lion 15/8, Won this last year and finished 2l third in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle (Grade 1) at Newcastle on his most recent run. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and suited by cut in the ground. Should come on for that latest effort and holds a strong chance again. Won this last year and reappeared with positive performance in Grade 1 Fighting Fifth.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -50%) Royal Infantry		18 18/1(-50%)																															(5) Royal Infantry 18/1, Ran poorly on chase debut when 49l third in a novice chase at Cheltenham last time. The trainer is in form. Effective from 2m to 2m5f on soft and good ground and may be happier returned to hurdling. Some solid handicap hurdle form in the autumn but a career-best is needed today.

All of these have claims, but none more so than last year's winner NEMEAN LION. Kerry Lee's gelding also claimed the National Spirit at Fontwell and was far from disgraced when a close third in the Fighting Fifth on his return in November. That level of form may well be good enough, although Potters Charm should not be discounted back at this sort of trip. The seven-year-old ran well in the Long Walk and this is arguably his easiest task in quite a while. Take No Chances is another who may be better off now dropped back from 3m.

Last year's winner NEMEAN LION (nap) reappeared with a creditable performance in the Fighting Fifth and can return to winning ways.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Consistent performer but a frustrating maiden. Showing signs that he can open his rules account; fighting chance.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +58%) Lone Soldier		5 5/1(+58%)																															(8) Lone Soldier 5/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter latest. Effective around 2½m but remains an inconsistent maiden. Place claims on bits of form but this big drop back in trip looks a negative.

Effective between 2m and 2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft. Could be finding form for new yard and well treated on old Irish ratings. Latest effort took chase record to 0-5 but this drop back in distance may help.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 +44%) Icare Colombe		5 5/1(+44%)																															(2) Icare Colombe 5/1, Continued in poor form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ludlow last time.

5th	1 5th (1) (3/1 +33%) Disco Annie		3 3/1(+33%)																															(1) Disco Annie 3/1, Keen and travelled well but may not have stayed when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time. Usually held up; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Unexposed over fences, touch unlucky penultimate chase, a bit frustrating, but should go close. Market Rasen is an unknown but she otherwise has possibilities dropped in class.
6	6 |PU| (6) (6/1 -50%) Flashy Boy		6 6/1(-50%)																															(6) Flashy Boy 6/1, Ran to form on second start after wind surgery when 4 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Stratford last time. Returning from a long absence; effective around 2½m. Fairly treated for chase debut but must show ability remains after the layoff. Absent for 15 months but otherwise quite interesting switched to chasing.
3	3 |PU| (3) (9/1 -64%) Hawk Stone		9 9/1(-64%)																															(3) Hawk Stone 9/1, Bit better tried in blinkers and may have needed the run when 9 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective at 2m, suited by some cut in the ground, and should come on for the return. Looks on a good mark based on hurdle form. Chase debutant who is attractively treated; gained sole hurdles win off 5lb higher.
7	7 |PU| (7) (22/1 +33%) Walk The Plank		22 22/1(+33%)																															(7) Walk The Plank 22/1, Ran to form on chase debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time.

Blinkers on for the first time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; fair dual-code form last year but needs a bit more to feature from this mark. 0-9 over jumps; first-time headgear needs to make a difference.

Having finished runner-up on three of his last four outings, El Rojo Grande must enter calculations. A repeat of his latest effort at Warwick is sure to see him involved but he may have to play second fiddle once more, with HAWK STONE edging the vote. The seven-year-old shaped well on his third-placed reappearance over hurdles at Leicester and may take some stopping if adapting to chasing. Icare Colombe is also worth a second look now dropping in trip and class.

Provided he takes well to fences, HAWK STONE may be the answer off a handy mark in retained blinkers. El Rojo Grande is second pick.

4	8 4th (8) (16/1 +27%) Sergeant Wilko		16 16/1(+27%)																															(8) Sergeant Wilko 16/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap at Ayr last time.

C&D winner; had a wind op since last seen and well treated on 3yo exploits; not ruled out.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 +8%) Heavenly Heather		11 11/1(+8%)																															(9) Heavenly Heather 11/1, Ran to form off a new mark when dropped in trip, winning by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 5-7f and suited by a sound surface; hat-trick chance with return to longer trip no issue. Thriving 5yo but a penalty for Tuesday's 5f win leaves her vulnerable at this level.

Fast-improving 4yo whose last two runs can be significantly upgraded; not reached ceiling.
8th	1 8th (1) (6/1 +14%) Ten Pounds		6 6/1(+14%)																															(1) Ten Pounds 6/1, Didn't quite get home when beaten a length off this mark at Southwell last time, running without the declared tongue-tie.

Returns from a short break; effective at 6/7f and on this surface; mark still competitive. Record of 121 on AW and still well treated despite a 6lb rise for his C&D win in November.
10th	14 10th (14) (33/1 -136%) Oriental Prince		33 33/1(-136%)																															(14) Oriental Prince 33/1, Won by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here in November, then ran to form back up in trip when third last time. Just 1lb higher now; effective at 5/6f and acts well on this surface; remains on a fair mark. Multiple course winner; arrives in form but this is tougher than he is used to.
11th	13 11th (13) (25/1 +24%) Purest Time		25 25/1(+24%)																															(13) Purest Time 25/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Suited by 6f and acts well on this surface; respected off current mark. Behind three of these when close fifth at Southwell last time and no obvious excuse there.
12th	4 12th (4) (9/1 -13%) Berkshire Whisper		9 9/1(-13%)																															(4) Berkshire Whisper 9/1, Bit keen but ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark at Kempton last time. Top jockey returns to the saddle; effective at 6f on this surface; more to come if settling better. 10lb higher than for C&D win last Good Friday; two fair runs after a break; more needed.
13th	10 13th (10) (16/1 -14%) Eminency		16 16/1(-14%)																															(10) Eminency 16/1, Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Chelmsford on penultimate start, then ran to form when second last time. Now 2lb higher; effective at 6/7f and acts on this surface; can go well again. Thriving in recent months and pushed Pocklington hard on New Year's Day; each-way shout.
14th	12 14th (12) (12/1 +40%) Photosynthesis		12 12/1(+40%)																															(12) Photosynthesis 12/1, Showed a good attitude and ran to best when landing a handicap by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Newmarket last time. Returning from a break; suited by 6f and barely stays 7f; still on a competitive mark back on this surface. Ended 2025 with a game Newmarket win; up 3lb and in a deeper race on his return.

Ten Pounds ran without his declared tongue-tie when a close fourth behind Pocklington at Southwell and there is every chance that form can be overturned, especially on these more favourable terms. However, BERKSHIRE WHISPER attempted to make all but faded into fourth near the finish at Kempton last time and goes off the same mark. With both of his career victories coming over C&D and Oisin Murphy back on board, he looks the one to beat. Germanic completes the shortlist.

A competitive sprint but GERMANIC (nap) looks to hold outstanding claims. Impressive over C&D in November, a 6lb rise is manageable.

Enjoys making the running and effective at 2m on decent ground; steadily progressive. Made all in competitive handicap at Ascot and this progressive 7yo is respected up 7lb.

Unexposed novice who won comfortably on sole handicap start and could be a contender.
7th	15 7th (15) (100/1 -52%) Stoner's Choice		100 100/1(-52%)																															(15) Stoner's Choice 100/1, Made mistakes and was made too much use of when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Effective 2m-2m4f on decent ground; needs to find more than of late. On a reduced mark but this 11yo hasn't posed a serious threat on his last six starts.

Effective at 2m with some cut; inconsistent dual Imperial Cup winner. Won at Sandown latest but that's his favourite course; has never won off a mark this high.
11th	12 11th (12) (25/1 -79%) Saligo Bay		25 25/1(-79%)																															(12) Saligo Bay 25/1, Did it readily and improved when landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Haydock last time. Effective at 2m on soft or good; consistent and improving. Thriving 8yo who did it in good style at Haydock last time; up in grade but could go well.

Trainer in form; enjoys making the running; effective at 2m on any ground; consistent though the handicapper is not relenting. Consistent 10yo; career-high mark but in-form Harry Atkins removes useful 7lb.
10	10 |PU| (10) (20/1 -186%) Great Fleet		20 20/1(-186%)																															(10) Great Fleet 20/1, Converted a good opportunity when winning a maiden hurdle at Kelso by 2l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-3m, acts on S, G; more to come handicapping. Won maiden hurdle at Kelso and should be suited by a strongly run race on handicap debut.

Dan Skelton saddles a quarter of the field and, on jockey bookings, Live Conti would appear the main hope, although he raced far too keenly on his return in a valuable handicap at Ascot. Great Fleet, who has proven versatile with regards to distance, and LISTENTOYOURHEART both make plenty of appeal and it is the latter who gets the vote following a tough success here over 2m4f on New Year's Day. Heidi Palin's 7lb claim negates her 5lb rise and that effort suggested she had more in the locker. Wilful won the aforementioned Ascot contest just before Christmas and isn't discounted off 7lb higher, while the progressive Saligo Bay deserves his chance in a race of this nature.

Preference is for KNICKERBOCKERGLORY, a consistent 10yo who was third in this last year and has 7lb removed by the in-form Harry Atkins.

1	8 1st (8) (13/2 +46%) Kayce Dutton		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(8) Kayce Dutton 13/2, Outpaced and never threatened when 33l third in a handicap chase at Southwell last time. Effective around 2½m on good ground; had been in form during the spring and could bounce back now stepping back up in trip. Course winner last spring but the form looks a bit iffy; needs to better recent efforts.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 +29%) Concetto		10 10/1(+29%)																															(4) Concetto 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Hereford last time. Prefers to make the running; returns from a short break and is effective at 3m on a sound surface. Had been back in form until the latest run. Ran well on seasonal/stable debut but his next run was very disappointing.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -20%) Heard That		12 12/1(-20%)																															(2) Heard That 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Southwell last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; effective from 2½m to 3m but looks on a tough mark. Looked out of sorts on both starts this season; cheekpieces added in bid to perk him up.
4	3 4th (3) (10/3 -105%) Realta Liath		3.333333 10/3(-105%)																															(3) Realta Liath 10/3, Won by 6½l off a 10lb lower mark at Fontwell two starts ago. Travelled strongly and improved again when third, beaten ¾l off 112 last time, now 2lb higher. Effective at 2½m on good to soft ground and progressing steadily. 0-5 over hurdles but has made excellent start to chasing career; leading contender.
5	5 |PU| (5) (3/1 +79%) My Bobby Dazzler		3 3/1(+79%)																															(5) My Bobby Dazzler 3/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when fourth, beaten 17l, in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft or good ground; out of form this year but has dropped in the weights. Useful hurdler in his prime but has not been firing on all cylinders for a good while now.
7	7 |PU| (7) (9/2 +10%) Vision De Maine		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(7) Vision De Maine 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Exeter last time. Effective at 3m on soft or good ground and had been in form until that latest effort. Placed at Ascot on seasonal debut and recent heavy-ground defeat is excusable; blinkers on.
6	6 |PU| (6) (13/2 +0%) Giovanni Change		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(6) Giovanni Change 13/2, Returned to form after a break when third, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase at Musselburgh most recently. Likes to make the running; effective from 2m4f to 3m on good to soft or good ground. Has good course form and should come on for the run, strong chance. Six-time course winner; returned from break with good Musselburgh third last month.
1	1 |PU| (1) (20/1 -264%) Get Up Mush		20 20/1(-264%)																															(1) Get Up Mush 20/1, Needed the run and may have found the ground on the soft side when well beaten in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Had been in good form previously, trainer going well; effective from 2½m to 3m on good to soft or good ground. Took well to chasing in early part of last season; probably needed recent reappearance run.

Although thwarted in her bid to complete a double, REALTA LIATH lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Cheltenham. A 2lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to stop the seven-year-old's progress over fences and she should take all the beating if handling this step up in trip. Get Up Mush is entitled to build on his reappearance seventh at Wetherby and isn't taken lightly, with dual C&D winner Giovanni Change another of interest.

The vote goes to REALTA LIATH, who made an excellent start to her chasing career in the autumn and drops in grade here.

Suited by 6f; very game and reliable, though the handicapper may be catching up now. 5-5 on AW and type to only do what is required; this his toughest assignment to date.

Effective over 5/6f and acts well on the all-weather; in good form. 2-2 since gelded, both wins in 6f nurseries at Lingfield; up in class but improving.
3	9 3rd (9) (50/1 -213%) One And Gone		50 50/1(-213%)																															(9) One And Gone 50/1, Raced too freely in first-time cheekpieces when taken on up front, finishing fourth beaten 5 1/2l in a nursery at Southwell latest. Effective at 6f and likes to lead; handles the all-weather. Finished behind Ten Carat Harry on his last two starts and improvement is necessary.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 -191%) Dartrey		4 4/1(-191%)																															(10) Dartrey 4/1, Went away late down in trip when landing a handicap by 3l off a 7lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Trainer in form; effective over 6/7f on the all-weather and may progress further. Three wins in a week this month; taking on stronger opposition now but still has potential.
5th	2 5th (2) (13/2 0%) Monarch's Gold		6.5 13/2(0%)																															(2) Monarch's Gold 13/2, Yard won this last year. Ran to form when winning a novice at Southwell by 3/4l last time. Off a short break; effective at 6f, bred to stay beyond 8f; good attitude and still has more to come. 2-2 on AW; makes handicap debut off a tough mark but he retains potential.

C&D winner at 2; good 2nd on handicap debut ten days ago; not reached his ceiling just yet.
7th	1 7th (1) (14/1 +13%) Rogue Supremacy		14 14/1(+13%)																															(1) Rogue Supremacy 14/1, Below form and unbalanced when not staying in the Tattersalls Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket last time. Returning from a break; effective over 5/6f on a sound surface. Game and reliable type. Best 2yo run came on only AW outing (Polytrack); needs to step forward but it's possible.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/1 +8%) Gorey Gold		11 11/1(+8%)																															(6) Gorey Gold 11/1, Probably improved slightly when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective over 6/7f and very consistent performer. Game effort to win a 7f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; up 3lb in a better race.
9th	5 9th (5) (9/1 +18%) Gold Queen Kindly		9 9/1(+18%)																															(5) Gold Queen Kindly 9/1, Ran to form on handicap debut when beaten 2 1/2l off a 3lb higher mark at Doncaster last time; off a short-break; effective at 6f, acts on GF; down in grade but ground a worry. Gelded since last seen; this mark demands more but in good hands and bred to be smart.
10th	3 10th (3) (14/1 -56%) Bassenthwaite		14 14/1(-56%)																															(3) Bassenthwaite 14/1, Improved when switching to the all-weather, landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off an 11lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time.

11th	11 11th (11) (50/1 -317%) Remi Mae		50 50/1(-317%)																															(11) Remi Mae 50/1, Too keen early off a break when 4l third in a novice at Southwell most recently. Effective at 6f on the all-weather; consistent and probably still has a bit to come. Some promise in novice company but looks to be in at the deep end on her handicap debut.

Having completed a four-timer at Southwell a shade cosily last month, TEN CARAT HARRY may still be a step ahead of the assessor. A 3lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable for Jamie Osborne's progressive gelding and he edges the vote over handicap debutant Monarch's Gold. The Too Darn Hot colt has only tasted defeat once in three outings and is open to improvement. Fellow last-time-out winners Bassenthwaite and Dartrey are others to consider.

Rogue Supremacy ran a cracker on his only AW run as a 2yo but AUGUSTUS GLOOP shaped well ten days ago and can go one better.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good; has further potential over fences. Has hinted he could be suited by this sort of trip and he's not ruled out in second chase.
2	1 2nd (1) (22/1 +12%) Tahmuras		22 22/1(+12%)																															(1) Tahmuras 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time when wearing blinkers for the first time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and handles heavy and good to soft ground, but difficult to support based on recent form. Very well treated on 2024 form but pulled up on all four starts last year; blinkers go on.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 -9%) Aviation		6 6/1(-9%)																															(7) Aviation 6/1, Showed improvement from his debut when beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Newbury last time.

4	8 4th (8) (7/2 +42%) As The Fella Says		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(8) As The Fella Says 7/2, A bit keen but ran to form stepped up in trip when 5l third in a Cheltenham handicap chase last time. Effective between 2m and 3m; still learning and looks capable of landing a good handicap. Promising performances on first two chase starts and this in-between trip could be ideal.
5th	6 5th (6) (17/2 +6%) Hold Up La Colmine		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(6) Hold Up La Colmine 17/2, Won here by 25l off a 9lb lower mark two starts ago but was below form back over hurdles last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft; third in this race last year and could again run well if rebounding. 3rd in this last year & bolted up here in November; capable of bold show despite 9lb rise.
6th	4 6th (4) (4/1 +20%) Margaret's Legacy		4 4/1(+20%)																															(4) Margaret's Legacy 4/1, Made mistakes and went too hard early when fourth, beaten 24l, in a handicap chase at Aintree last time. Effective at 2m4f and handles soft and good to soft ground; had been progressing before that run. Disappointing favourite at Aintree but progressive previously and could bounce back.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/2 +39%) Joe Cotton		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(11) Joe Cotton 11/2, Travelled well and looked the winner before being outbattled, beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 2m to 2m5f and handles heavy and good ground; a consistent type. Consistent sort who was second here a fortnight ago and is an each-way player once more.
8th	3 8th (3) (11/1 -57%) Gericault Roque		11 11/1(-57%)																															(3) Gericault Roque 11/1, Possibly failed to stay and was below form when finishing down the field in a Cheltenham handicap chase on his return from a long absence. Effective at 3m on soft and good ground but likely past his peak. Ran pretty well on this card last year after mammoth absence; not ruled out on comeback.
9th	5 9th (5) (33/1 -106%) Storminhome		33 33/1(-106%)																															(5) Storminhome 33/1, Outpaced and needed the run when unable to go the pace down in trip and was comfortably held in a Chepstow handicap chase last time. With the trainer in form, he's effective from 2m3f to 3m and acts on soft and good ground. Tailed off last month after absence but is in top hands and has a dangerous mark.
2	2 |PU| (2) (9/2 +10%) Westerninthepark		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Westerninthepark 9/2, Below form and again finished weakly when well beaten in the Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree last time. Effective around 2m4f and may stay 3m; handles ground with cut and needs to bounce back. On a handy mark and could have a big say now back down in trip.

Hold Up La Colmine finished third in this contest 12 months ago and returned to Windsor with a wide-margin success in November. That said, his jumping wasn't particularly fluent and a bigger field could find him out. The vote goes to AS THE FELLA SAYS, who is the sole runner on the card for Nicky Henderson and has taken well to fences, placing at Southwell and Cheltenham. The drop in trip seems ideal judged on the latter display, as his finishing effort petered out on the run-in, and the seven-year-old has every chance of giving Nico de Boinville a winner on his return. Impatient, Westerninthepark and Joe Cotton are others to consider.

The drop back in trip looks the right move for WESTERNINTHEPARK and he can exploit a handy mark.

Blinkers have been a big help recently and her latest form has been franked; mark looks fair and she should remain competitive. Down 1lb since third over C&D latest and form looks good; appealing from good draw.

PINTS IN PEACE looks dangerous dropping back in trip. This Bated Breath gelding gave best close home when third over 7f at this track last month. He has contested plenty of good races on the turf and Conor Cusack's 7lb claim has him competing off a light weight. Go Out is a well-related sort who finished fourth in a valuable maiden at Chelmsford last April, and that form has been well franked, so he could be a useful recruit for Danny Murphy. Dontspoilasale's last three victories have been over this distance and Reese Holohan's 10lb claim should have him more than competitive. Arctic Steps and Tai Tam Bay are also in the hunt for a cheque.

Just 1-25 but TAI TAM BAY was third over C&D last time on only her second AW start, and the runner-up has won twice since

Although he found his winning run coming to an end when finishing third over 7f here last month, STORM STAR is entitled to build on that first run for 239 days. Moreover, a return to 1m is also likely to help the five-year-old and a fifth career victory may be on the horizon. Talis Evolvere arrives on the back of a triumph at Southwell and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of triple C&D scorer Rogue Encore.

Storm Star is rock solid but DOSMAN is well treated if he can build on his encouraging stable debut.

Robson De Aguiar's BRYANT created a good impression when upped to 2m on the Polytrack at the end of November. He had two subsequent winners in behind him that evening and a 5lb rise is far from insurmountable. After that race, connections pinpointed the valuable card at Newcastle on Good Friday for him which shows the regard he is held in. His stablemate Dallas Star goes well fresh and won on his sole previous visit to Dundalk in February last year. He has kept good company since then, with the pick of his results a couple of Group 3 runner-up berths. The talented Tribal Star and Tyson Fury, with a rating of 100, add plenty of spice to the race.

A cosy winner over C&D last time, BRYANT is selected to follow up with the race conditions to suit

Plenty will be in the Francesi camp after he completed a double at Lingfield six days ago and his chance is there for all to see. C&D winner Stipulation remains on a workable rating and is noted, but SERAPHIC gets the vote. The six-year-old comfortably returned to winning ways at Chelmsford last weekend and if coping with this quick turnaround, he could be the one to beat.

This is highly competitive but the hat-trick seeking FRANCESI gets the vote ahead of recent Chelmsford winner Seraphic.

Several of these horses are unproven over this staying trip, so a chance is taken on BLACK GEM. During his career in France, he finished runner-up over the same trip on the all-weather track at Chantilly and he races here off a sliding mark. Numidia delivered over C&D in November and is capable of popping up again for Peter Lawlor. If Benavente stays, he would be threatening in this grade. He does have a couple of victories over 1m4f at this venue in the book. Power Of Prayer and Gallo Dell Cielo are both trying this distance for the first time, but will have their supporters. Veteran Jake Peter could outrun his odds in first-time cheekpieces.

PONS AELIUS's best form in Britain was over this trip and Declan McGuigan's first runner of the year won here on Tuesday

Fools Rush In justified favouritism over track and trip earlier this month and has to be respected, despite his 4lb penalty. Similar comments apply to Imola after her Southwell victory, but the vote goes to LATIN. James Owen's charge may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests over C&D recently and he could make it four victories from his last five outings.

Top of the list is the hat-trick seeking LATIN, who is 2lb well in under a penalty for his comfortable win over C&D ten days ago.

Behind a number of these over C&D last time, although hampered; others more likely.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 +44%) City House		14 14/1(+44%)																															(2) City House 14/1, Stable won this race last year. Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a handicap at Ascot last time. Top course trainer. Effective from 6f to 7f, acts on a sound surface. Must bounce back on stable debut. In good form this time last year in Bahrain; lesser runs following; makes stable debut now.

INSTANT APPEAL has been a fine advertisement for the skills of his trainer Stephen Thorne and can complete a four-timer. After two wins over a mile, the five-year-old defeated Big Gossey over C&D last month and may be progressive enough to defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. Grand veteran Big Gossey is partnered by a talented claimer on this occasion, which gives him a sizeable pull in the weights, but he may have to settle for minor honours again. A smart performer for Brian Meehan, the selection's stablemate Inishfallen shaped with promise on his Irish debut, while Carolina Jetstream was second to Instant Appeal over a mile but won't be suited by this sharper test.

Likeable type BIG GOSSEY is better off with Instant Appeal since beaten just over a length here last time and may reverse form now

Suited by 9f and acts on all-weather; sets the form standard and likely to progress further as he steps up in distance. Improved form when runner-up here last time and he sets clear standard on that form.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +25%) Felix Gem		3 3/1(+25%)																															(1) Felix Gem 3/1, Fair debut when beaten 9l in a novice at Lingfield on debut. Middle-distance bred, with sound surfaces suiting his action; a strong, workmanlike type who should do better over further. Shaped with some promise at Lingfield and he should know more over this longer trip.

Having posted his best effort to date when runner-up here last month, MYTHICAL BAY makes plenty of appeal. A similar performance from Andrew Balding's colt is likely to see him open his account and he's taken to fend off Felix Gem. The son of Ulysses wasn't disgraced on his opening fifth at Lingfield and any improvement should see him in the mix, along with Kindly Queen.

This looks a good opportunity for MYTHICAL BAY who was runner-up here last month and sets a clear standard on that form.

CLONMACASH and Salah Belle are closely matched on their C&D form last week, but slight preference is for the former. Twice a winner here over this trip, the five-year-old has been strong in the market on his latest two starts and Sam Coen's claim could give him an edge in the renewal of rivalry. Salah Belle was herself well supported last time and has come down a long way in the ratings, but being drawn out in stall 14 is certainly not ideal. Bella Colombia is another who was rated much higher in her younger days and she bounced back to form when a strong-travelling second over a mile here last week.

Renewing rivaly are SALAH BELLE, Clonmacash and Never Shout Never, and Sheila Lavery's mare can confirm the form

Some Nightmare returned to form with a close-up third over 5f here and reverting to 6f shouldn't hamper his bid. However, the veteran hasn't proved the most consistent and the claims of FOREVER NOAH are slightly more compelling. Joey Ramsden's inmate hit the frame at Southwell recently and has plenty going for him off an unchanged mark. Autumn Angel and Nordic Glory are others of interest in an open-looking contest.

Off a workable mark in the retained blinkers returned to handicap level, AUTUMN ANGEL is preferred. Forever Noah is second pick.

Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, VENETIAN was a snug winner over 7f here a week ago and can follow up under his promising apprentice. Ridden prominently for that success, the Awtaad gelding has been handed the inside stall and similar tactics are likely. Despite an 8lb hike, he can confirm form with the runner-up Neo Smart and fifth-placed Oiche Rua, who can often harm her chance by being slowly away. Exquisite Acclaim drops in grade, while last year's winner Perfect Judgement is looking well handicapped again. Six-time C&D winner Mulgrave should come on from last month's stable debut.

The manner in which VENETIAN (nap) won here over 7f last week was quite impressive and he will be hard to beat despite an 8lb rise

ADVANCING justified strong support in the market when scoring with something in hand over C&D last month. That was the four-year-old's first appearance for current connections and a 7lb rise looks tolerable. Hitched appears close to his best judged on his narrow defeat at Lingfield and he may give Advancing most to think about, ahead of Rajapour, who didn't enjoy the best of runs behind the selection last time out.

The vote goes to the lightly raced 4yo ADVANCING (nap), who really kicked on again with a comfortable win over C&D on his stable debut.

3	13 3rd (13) (25/1 +50%) Without Love		25 25/1(+50%)																															(13) Without Love 25/1, Below form on handicap debut when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Visor applied for the first time. Effective at 8f and acts on all-weather. Needs to improve. Big price when down the field over 1m on handicap debut; visored for first crack at 1m4f.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +31%) Baila Conmigo		11 11/1(+31%)																															(7) Baila Conmigo 11/1, Did too much too soon and needed the run on stable debut when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Effective from 7f to 12f and acts on all-weather. Should build on that effort and is on a fair mark based on spring form. Decent Navan run last April; has looked a non-stayer in two tries over this trip since.
5th	11 5th (11) (20/1 +9%) Patrick Street		20 20/1(+9%)																															(11) Patrick Street 20/1, Ran poorly when down the field in a Down Royal handicap hurdle last time. Effective from 10f to 12f on the flat and enjoys all-weather. Yet to show form over hurdles. AW win in 2022; modest form on Flat and over hurdles since joining this yard; more needed.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +36%) Desert Friend		9 9/1(+36%)																															(8) Desert Friend 9/1, Had too much to do when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 13f and acts on all-weather. Form has dipped of late but the handicapper is easing the burden. AW winner in Britain at up to 2m; fair efforts of late, including over C&D; more needed.
7th	12 7th (12) (20/1 +39%) Cowzer Soze		20 20/1(+39%)																															(12) Cowzer Soze 20/1, Disappointing all-weather debut when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Visor applied for the first time. Returning from a break. Effective at 1m and acts on all-weather. Looks on a stiff mark. Yet to threaten in five starts, albeit modest progress when beaten around 8l here latest.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 +44%) Vivacious Lady		5 5/1(+44%)																															(6) Vivacious Lady 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Effective up to 12f and suited by all-weather. Longer trip should suit but needs more. Has hit the woodwork a few times over C&D; 1m too short on latest; serious contender.
9th	4 9th (4) (9/1 +25%) Doctor Grace		9 9/1(+25%)																															(4) Doctor Grace 9/1, Never threatened off a modest pace when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. From a top course trainer. Effective from 10f to 13f and acts on all-weather. Fairly treated but unreliable. Second over C&D last month; failed to build on that two weeks later behind Jawhary.
10th	2 10th (2) (22/1 +21%) Roman Bull		22 22/1(+21%)																															(2) Roman Bull 22/1, Needed the run and may have found the ground too soft when down the field in a Cork handicap most recently. Returning from a break. Effective over 12f and acts on all-weather. Form has been going the wrong way. Gained C&D win in the summer of 2023 from 12lb higher but has lost his way since.
11th	1 11th (1) (8/1 +0%) Gracesolution		8 8/1(+0%)																															(1) Gracesolution 8/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Off a short break. Effective from 12f to 14f and acts on all-weather. Needs to bounce back. Not at best in recent starts but drops in grade here and is 7lb below last winning mark.
12th	5 12th (5) (9/1 +18%) Boyne Valley		9 9/1(+18%)																															(5) Boyne Valley 9/1, Ran to form when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 11f and acts on all-weather. Capable of going well. Good third here last month over 10.5f; outpaced last week over 1m; this trip can help.
13th	14 13th (14) (15/2 +0%) Le Fleur Princess		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(14) Le Fleur Princess 15/2, Had every chance but ran below form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time. Off a short break. Acts on all-weather and is effective from 7f to 9f, possibly stays further. Bit to prove including stamina. Fair fifth of 14 here (1m) in October; stable has good record at the track; cheekpieces.

Having chased home 50/1 winner Syosset on his penultimate start, JAWHARY gained a long-overdue success last time and the Ado McGuinness-trained eight-year-old might be able to follow up. Declan McDonogh, who rides the selection for the first time, is an interesting booking and a 4lb rise for that first victory in Ireland looks fair. Syosset lost little in defeat when only beaten a length in third on his latest outing and this unexposed type has to enter calculations. Le Fleur Princess was well backed when fourth in her first handicap and a mile was probably too short for her on her AW debut. Trying 1m4f for the first time, she can contend if her stamina holds out.

Rounding off the card is a competitive handicap and the tentative vote goes to VIVACIOUS LADY, whose best efforts have been over C&D

1	3 1st (3) (22/1 +33%) Ice Opera		22 22/1(+33%)																															(3) Ice Opera 22/1, Up in trip, didn't stay when comfortably held in a handicap here last time; suited by 10-12f; no appeal despite being down again in the weights. Ex-Irish 5yo; regressive 19-race maiden and others have stronger claims.
2	8 2nd (8) (33/1 +0%) Dancing Bay		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Dancing Bay 33/1, Never in the race, finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently; off a short break; may stay 2m but has very little worthwhile form; poor performer. 0-12 and he's failed to beat a rival here (2m/1m4f) in his last two starts.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/1 +0%) Ignition		7 7/1(+0%)																															(9) Ignition 7/1, Every chance but a bit below form when fourth beaten 4l in a classified race at Southwell last time; visor first time; consistent around 1m on this surface, gets 11f and should stay 12f; remains a maiden. 0-13 but was fair fourth at Southwell and has each-way claims if he can build on that.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 -60%) Damzon		3 3/1(-60%)																															(1) Damzon 3/1, Returned to form down in trip when winning a handicap at Chelmsford by 7l last time; top course trainer; effective 12-16f; may have a bit more to offer now she's had her head in front. Came good with a 7l win at Chelmsford last week; major player again back at 1m4f.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -56%) Virtual Hug		14 14/1(-56%)																															(7) Virtual Hug 14/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 2 1/2l in a handicap here last time; effective at 12-16f and suited by a sound surface; in fair form on the Flat at a modest level recently. Triple course winner who was a creditable fourth over C&D last time; in the mix.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/6 +52%) Break Point		0.833333 5/6(+52%)																															(2) Break Point 5/6, Ran to form when third beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; effective around 10-16f; drop in trip should suit; hurdles winner last year and arrives in form. Placed here (9.4f/2m) in last two starts and looks interesting on first run for James Owen.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 -100%) Irv		50 50/1(-100%)																															(4) Irv 50/1, Poorly placed off a steady pace in a race dominated from the front when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; best at 10-12f; needs a bit more back up in trip. Returning veteran who has not won since June 2024 and is 1-14 on AW; down the list.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 -54%) Starfighter		10 10/1(-54%)																															(6) Starfighter 10/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 3l in a handicap here last time; effective at 12f and suited by this surface; below form since returning from a break. His last four wins have been over C&D and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace.
9th	5 9th (5) (33/1 -83%) Rampant		33 33/1(-83%)																															(5) Rampant 33/1, Flattened out late having met trouble when beaten 5 1/4l in a classified race at Southwell last time; trainer in form; suited by 10-12f; in fairly solid form but a longstanding maiden. 31-race maiden and this looks a tough assignment on these terms; opposable.

DAMZON had plenty in hand when winning a handicap over an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last week and she is hard to oppose in this company on the back of that performance, despite a 4lb penalty. Break Point has twice made the frame since returning to the level and is likely to be in the mix again on his first start for James Owen. Virtual Hug and Ignition are also noted.

It's hard to get away from DAMZON who came good with a runaway win at Chelmsford last week and hit a personal best with that success.

1	8 1st (8) (9/2 +44%) Havachoc		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(8) Havachoc 9/2, Every chance and ran to form when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; effective at 10-14f and acts on all-weather; more consistent since wind operation. Placed at Newcastle (1m4f) in November and he looks interesting on this drop back in trip.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/2 +29%) Warrior Lion		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(7) Warrior Lion 5/2, Far too free in front when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; returning from a break; ideally wants 12f and acts on all-weather; handicapper relenting after move from Ireland but with good reason given poor form. Overall record of 0-26 and was a disappointing favourite over C&D in October.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/4 +17%) Highfield Comrade		1.25 5/4(+17%)																															(1) Highfield Comrade 5/4, Ran to form when winning a classified race at Southwell by 2l last time; effective at 12f and acts on all-weather; more to come back in a handicap now he's had his head in front and could follow up. Won a classified at Southwell ten days ago and he's open to more progress; key player.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 -180%) Arranmore		28 28/1(-180%)																															(2) Arranmore 28/1, No obvious excuse when comfortably held in a classified race at Ripon last time; returning from a break; effective at 8-10f; poor strike rate and probably flattered by summer win. Ended a long losing run in August but he struggled in his final two runs during the summer.
5th	6 5th (6) (8/1 -45%) Lawmans Blis		8 8/1(-45%)																															(6) Lawmans Blis 8/1, Made too much use of and well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; effective at 10-14f and suited by all-weather; even this basement mark now looks stiff. 66-1 second at Southwell last week but quickly back in doldrums at Kempton on Wednesday.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 +18%) Black Smoke		18 18/1(+18%)																															(4) Black Smoke 18/1, Outpaced and never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently; effective at 14-16f and acts on all-weather; has lost form. Triple course winner but he's lost his way and this drop back to 1m4f is a worry.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -108%) Celebrating Ethel		25 25/1(-108%)																															(5) Celebrating Ethel 25/1, Far too free and well beaten in a classified race at Southwell latest; top course trainer; suited by 8-10f and acts on all-weather; needs more returned to handicaps. 0-15 on AW and was tailed off in a classified event at Southwell ten days ago.
8th	3 8th (3) (28/1 +15%) Belle Of Kt		28 28/1(+15%)																															(3) Belle Of Kt 28/1, Outpaced and disappointing on handicap debut when down the field at Lingfield most recently; should do better handicapping over further. Unexposed 5yo but she's not finished closer than 9l to a winner; opposable.

Most of these have questions to answer, but not HIGHFIELD COMRADE following his win in a similar event at Southwell 10 days ago. The four-year-old did it well on that occasion and appears to be the safest pick. Havachoc's recent handicap form suggests that he could be the main danger. The rest inspire little confidence, but Warrior Lion is the pick of them.

The vote goes to HIGHFIELD COMRADE, who won a classified event at Southwell ten days ago and is open to more progress back up in trip.

Suited by 5f and acts on a sound surface. Well treated on old form but needs to build on that revival back in a handicap. Won a classified over C&D latest; this is tougher but he's respected back in a handicap.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +36%) Colors Of Freedom		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(5) Colors Of Freedom 9/4, Ran to form when second, beaten 2l in a classified race at Lingfield last time.

Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather. An inconsistent maiden. 0-14 but he went close in a C&D handicap on his penultimate run; not ruled out.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +25%) Shatin Venture		6 6/1(+25%)																															(7) Shatin Venture 6/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 6l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. In good form prior, with the trainer also in form. Effective at 5f and acts on all-weather. On a very workable mark and had been running fairly until latest. Just one win from 17 starts and was out the back at Newcastle last time; others preferred.
5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 +20%) Symbol Of Hope		40 40/1(+20%)																															(8) Symbol Of Hope 40/1, Never threatened when beaten 6 1/2l in a classified race here last time. Effective at 5/6f and acts on all-weather. Out of form and difficult to fancy. 0-15 on AW and he's finished down the field here in his last four runs; opposable.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 +44%) Sir Benedict		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(1) Sir Benedict 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark here last time. Best at 5f and acts on soft, good and all-weather surfaces. A veteran who needs a pace collapse. Hold-up performer who was a close second over C&D on penultimate run; dangerous.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -471%) Devilwala		40 40/1(-471%)																															(4) Devilwala 40/1, Returned to form down in trip when winning a classified race here by 3l last time. Returning from a long layoff; effective 6-8f and acts on all-weather. Inconsistent, fairly treated on latest win but this could prove an inadequate test on return. Won here (6f) in March but that was a shock at 100-1 and he's been on the sidelines since.

It might have only been a classified event that ROGUE DE VEGA was successful in a fortnight ago, but that first triumph in over a year will have been a real confidence booster. Antony Brittain's gelding is 6lb higher than when last in a handicap, though he is still well treated and ought to go close from a handy draw. Sir Benedict's recent form has been encouraging, as has Colors Of Freedom's, who was defeated by the selection two starts ago.

Preference is for ROGUE DE VEGA, who got back on the scoresheet when justifying support in a classified event over C&D 14 days ago.

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.
