7	7 (7) (4/11 +9%) Maughreen		0.363636 4/11(+9%)																															(7) Maughreen 4/11, Won 12-runner bumper at this course (16.2f, soft, 1/2) on debut last January, soon clear. Obvious claims for top yard now switched to hurdles, despite the 12-month absence. Impressive bumper winner last year is highly thought of and is a major player on return.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +44%) Familiar Dreams		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(5) Familiar Dreams 9/4, 506/100, last of 7 in minor event on the Flat at Kentucky Downs (16.5f, firm) when last seen in September (perhaps unsuited by the quick ground). Fine record in bumpers for Anthony McCann (listed/Grade 3 winner in that sphere last season) and will prove hard to beat if taking to hurdles. Grade 3 bumper winner at this track; poor on the Flat in USA last time; hurdles debut.
4	4 (4) (8/1 -45%) Dee's Lady		8 8/1(-45%)																															(4) Dee's Lady 8/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft, 16/1) on NH debut 44 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Beaten 25l by what seems a smart mare on bumper debut; can run respectably.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -83%) Clody Diamond		11 11/1(-83%)																															(3) Clody Diamond 11/1, £42,000 4-y-o, Diamond Boy mare. Half-sister to fair hurdler Clody Flyer and fair hurdle winner around 2m Emily's Choice. Off the mark at fourth attempt in maiden points when last seen in October and she's of interest on Rules debut. Point winner was sold for GBP42,000 after; can run well on rules debut.
10	10 (10) (25/1 +24%) Mount Shenshan		25 25/1(+24%)																															(10) Mount Shenshan 25/1, Modest hurdler. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Clonmel (20f, soft) 12 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Has run well at times in bumpers and maiden hurdles but has plenty to find today.
11	11 (11) (80/1 -100%) Native Glory		80 80/1(-100%)																															(11) Native Glory 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in minor event hurdle (200/1) at Leopardstown (19.8f, good) on NH debut 30 days ago. Beaten 47l in a maiden hurdle on debut and enormous improvement needed.
12	12 (12) (80/1 -60%) Patty O'farrell		80 80/1(-60%)																															(12) Patty O'farrell 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1 and hooded, eleventh of 12 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) on NH debut 26 days ago. Pulled-up in a point and well beaten in a maiden hurdle so enormous improvement needed.
9	9 (9) (100/1 +33%) Mollys Dolly		100 100/1(+33%)																															(9) Mollys Dolly 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in bumper at Tramore (16.2f, heavy, 22/1) 62 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Two bumper runs; promise on debut but was well below that level since.
2	2 (2) (100/1 -25%) Bossing It		100 100/1(-25%)																															(2) Bossing It 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 16 in bumper (50/1) at Cork (16f, soft) 10 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. The best of two bumper runs came at Cork last time; still plenty to find.
13	13 (13) (125/1 -25%) Paul's Dream		125 125/1(-25%)																															(13) Paul's Dream 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.2f, soft, 100/1) on NH debut 45 days ago. Beaten 33l in a maiden hurdle on debut and enormous improvement needed.
1	1 (1) (150/1 -50%) Artic Dais		150 150/1(-50%)																															(1) Artic Dais 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fell in novice hurdle (200/1) at Limerick (20f, soft) 31 days ago. Hasn't shown enough in both maiden hurdle runs to warrant consideration today.
6	6 (6) (150/1 -50%) Huscari		150 150/1(-50%)																															(6) Huscari 150/1, Modest Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Brought down in novice hurdle at Limerick (20f, soft, 300/1) 31 days ago. Well beaten in two completed maiden hurdles and handicaps will suit better.

This contest features a very interesting clash between Familiar Dreams and MAUGHREEN. Familiar Dreams cut a swathe through bumpers when handled by Anthony McCann and her winning spree culminated in a Grade 3 success at the Punchestown Festival. She makes her hurdling debut for Gordon Elliott and is a very talented mare. Slight preference is for Maughreen, who represents Willie Mullins. She was impressive on bumper debut at this track just over a year ago when powering 11 lengths clear of her rivals. She met with a minor setback last season, but was the subject of a favourable report in a stable tour. Clody Diamond's point-to-point victory is working out nicely ahead of her track debut.

The sight of Qatar Racing's silks over jumps is a rare one but in FAMILIAR DREAMS the operation has a nice prospect on its books. A winner of four of her nine starts in bumpers for Anthony McCann and successful on the second of her three starts on the Flat for Gordon Elliott, she will likely be holding her own at a higher level in this sphere before long, provided that her jumping passes the test. Maughreen, an impressive winner of a bumper last winter, is feared most ahead of Clody Diamond.

Though she has only run once, MAUGHREEN created such a favourable impression in that course bumper win a year ago and can win on return

4	4 (4) (7/4 +0%) Smart Casual		1.75 7/4(+0%)																															(4) Smart Casual 7/4, Went close without success over hurdles and similar form both starts switched to larger obstacles this winter, second of 7 in handicap chase at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last time. Solid claims. 12-race maiden but he's progressing over fences and this could be his day..
1	1 (1) (9/4 +25%) Diplomatic Ash		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(1) Diplomatic Ash 9/4, Fair maiden hurdler who didn't get far on chase debut but got round ok when fourth of 11 over 2½m on second run in this sphere at Lingfield. Surprisingly short in the betting (sent off at 6/4) when third here (carried his head awkwardly) next time and the tongue strap is now refitted. Eight-race maiden but he's open to progress over fences and hard to rule out down 3lb..
7	7 (7) (11/4 +50%) Bumpy Evans		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(7) Bumpy Evans 11/4, Offered little in a trio of starts over hurdles for Ben Lund in 2022/23 but successful between the Flags subsequently, winning each of his last 2 starts, the latest in May 2024. 10 lb out of the weights now handicapping in this sphere for new yard but worth a second look all the same. Dual point winner but he has a bit to find at the weights on chase/handicap debut..
3	3 (3) (11/1 -175%) Extraordinary Man		11 11/1(-175%)																															(3) Extraordinary Man 11/1, Just the one success from 22 starts overall but has been placed on several occasions, too, both over hurdles and in this sphere. Not at his best with hood refitted at Huntingdon last time but now tried in blinkers and will have a chance if responding well to the new headgear. Can be forgiven most recent effort and likely to be in the mix with blinkers now added..
5	5 (5) (18/1 +0%) Miss Fedora		18 18/1(+0%)																															(5) Miss Fedora 18/1, Got back on track reverted to hurdling when landing 8-runner handicap at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) last summer. However, record stands at 0-9 over fences and she's 7 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Out of the weights but has the ability to figure on the pick of her best efforts..
6	6 (6) (25/1 +11%) Clondaw Robin		25 25/1(+11%)																															(6) Clondaw Robin 25/1, Still winless over fences (0-29 in this sphere and just 1-38 overall) and while he posted his best effort of present campaign when third at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last time, he was 8 lengths adrift of the re-opposing runner-up Smart Casual that day and is 8 lb out of the handicap here. 29-race maiden over fences; has something to find from 8lb out of the handicap..

Although a 12-race maiden, SMART CASUAL has proved a model of consistency throughout the past year and compensation could be on the cards. The seven-year-old arrives on the back of a solid second at Lingfield and a similar performance may prove sufficient. Diplomatic Ash shouldn't be inconvenienced by today's shorter trip and he must enter the reckoning in these calmer waters, while first-time blinkers could spark some improvement in Extraordinary Man.

SMART CASUAL was a beaten favourite (not for the first time) at Lingfield last month but that was a creditable effort nonetheless and he has shown more than enough to suggest that a race of this nature will be within his grasp. Extraordinary Man should make his presence felt if taking well to the new headgear and Bumpy Evans merits respect, despite being 10 lb 'wrong' on this handicap/chase debut for new yard, on the back of two wins between the flags.

Diplomatic Ash is open to progress but might struggle giving so much weight away to the equally progressive SMART CASUAL.

1	1 (1) (11/8 +27%) Rath Gaul Hill		1.375 11/8(+27%)																															(1) Rath Gaul Hill 11/8, Ended last season in fine heart, proving 1¼ lengths too strong for Duhallow Tommy at Newbury prior to following up in a 16.5f handicap at Ayr's Scottish National meeting. Up total of 11 lb for that brace and more needed back from a 9-month break but, on the upside, he still has low mileage. Absent since completing 2m double last spring; now 3-4 over this trip; major player.
2	2 (2) (7/4 +0%) Duhallow Tommy		1.75 7/4(+0%)																															(2) Duhallow Tommy 7/4, Proved to be a different proposition switched to fences following a wind op last term, winning 3 times (at up to 19.8f, all at Plumpton) before finishing a good second to Rath Gaul Hill at Newbury. Now 10 lb better off with that rival and has performed with credit both starts so far this season. Better off with Rath Gaul Hill on Newbury running last March; solid effort last time.
4	4 (4) (7/2 -17%) Famoso		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(4) Famoso 7/2, Registered second success over this C&D in November (also runner-up 3 times here), which proved to be the first-leg of a hat-trick. Below par back here on latest start but that race may have come too soon (just 3 days after scoring at Ludlow) and he may well bounce back with a bold show. Had a possible excuse here last month when bidding for four-timer; not written off.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +0%) Cat Tiger		12 12/1(+0%)																															(3) Cat Tiger 12/1, Useful chaser at best but below par both starts since rejoining former yard, including with first-time cheekpieces enlisted (retained here) at Lingfield latest. Sole success over a trip shy of 2½m was gained back in 2018 and he will almost certainly find things happening too quickly returned to 2m. Veteran who seemingly isn't the force of old; on a three-year losing spell.

Connections appeared to find the key to RATH GAUL HILL at the end of last season with a drop back to 2m seeing him record back-to-back victories at Newbury and Ayr. The seven-year-old remains unexposed over this distance and it wouldn't be a major surprise if he could improve further. Duhallow Tommy chased home the selection at Newbury and has performed with credit on both outings this season, while Famoso can beat Cat Tiger for third.

The vote goes to DUHALLOW TOMMY, who chased home the progressive Hasthing (winner again since) over 20.2f at Windsor last month. He is likely to benefit from this drop back in trip and he meets the hat-trick seeking Rath Gaul Hill on significantly better terms compared to when beaten 1¼ lengths by that rival at Newbury last spring. The latter should make his presence felt all the same but the selection may have most to fear from Famoso, who boasts a good record round here.

Armed with a 10lb pull, DUHALLOW TOMMY (nap) could well reverse Newbury placings with Rath Gaul Hill who is nevertheless respected.

4	4 (4) (11/10 +27%) Port Joulain		1.1 11/10(+27%)																															(4) Port Joulain 11/10, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Third of 10 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good, 14/1) 29 days ago. Looks the most solid option. Lame when pulled-up on hurdling debut at this track but ran a solid race at Leopardstown.
5	5 (5) (9/4 +10%) Sermandzarak		2.25 9/4(+10%)																															(5) Sermandzarak 9/4, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Below form sixth of 12 in minor event hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good, 6/4) 30 days ago. Showed plenty of ability in bumpers and big chance if he's back to the form he showed on hurdling debut. Two bumper wins here; coughing last time but is a big player if back to his best.
1	1 (1) (3/1 -50%) Bossofthebrownies		3 3/1(-50%)																															(1) Bossofthebrownies 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, good fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good) 29 days ago. Should be on the premises. Almost 2l behind Port Joulain at Leopardstown last time and has to find more to take this.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -256%) Champagne Kid		16 16/1(-256%)																															(2) Champagne Kid 16/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 11/2, third of 12 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) on hurdles bow 26 days ago. Likely to improve and can't be ruled out. Jumped to the left and novicey on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse and needs to improve plenty.
6	6 (6) (200/1 +0%) Sonny Fella		200 200/1(+0%)																															(6) Sonny Fella 200/1, Modest hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at this course (20.2f, good to soft) 73 days ago. Has plenty to find. Pulled in a C&D handicap last time and is rated only 85; huge outsider.

PORT JOULAIN won a point-to-point and a Gowran bumper on testing ground and, having suffered an overreach when disappointing here on his hurdle debut, advertised his claims when third to The Enabler in a 2m4f Leopardstown maiden. The selection had Bossofthebrownies about two lengths behind in fourth on that occasion and may now have most to fear from Sermandzarak. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding won the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at the Festival here last April and made a pleasing start over hurdles when narrowly denied by Butch Cassidy over C&D. He was found to be coughing when disappointing subsequently at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.

PORT JOULAIN's career hasn't quite gone to plan as yet but he arrives on the back of a good effort and there may well be more to come, so he's preferred to Sermandzara and Bossofthebrownies, who are closely matched on form.

PORT JOULAIN bounced back from two poor efforts with a solid third at Leopardstown last time and can hold Sermandzarak

7	7 (7) (2/7 +57%) Risk It All		0.285714 2/7(+57%)																															(7) Risk It All 2/7, Easy 6-length winner of 2m minor event at Nort-sur-Erdre only outing on Flat for Elisabeth Allaire. Very strong in the betting and shaped well on hurdles debut at Kempton last week, taking keen hold but sticking to his task. More to come and should take all the beating. Made a promising start to his hurdle career when third at Kempton in December; key player..
4	4 (4) (11/4 +61%) Rogue Tornado		2.75 11/4(+61%)																															(4) Rogue Tornado 11/4, Fairly useful Flat winner who ran well in that sphere last time. Bled on his only previous try over hurdles but he's in good hands and not without hope. Pulled up on hurdle debut in September but in good form on the Flat of late; interesting..
2	2 (2) (25/1 +50%) Dotties Star		25 25/1(+50%)																															(2) Dotties Star 25/1, Third a bumper at the start of her career but only modest on the Flat and limited encouragement in a novice over C&D on hurdling debut. Modest maiden on the Flat who was soundly beaten on last month's C&D hurdle debut..
5	5 (5) (150/1 -50%) Simply Ed		150 150/1(-50%)																															(5) Simply Ed 150/1, Well held in varied events on Flat and makes very little appeal on hurdle debut for new yard. Tongue tied. Needs to take a big step forward on hurdle/stable debut; tongue-tie added..

Having opened his account in good style at Southwell last month, Land Of Moon must enter the reckoning in his follow-up bid. However, a 7lb winner's penalty will make life tougher for the son of Spanish Moon and RISK IT ALL is preferred. The four-year-old looked a likely improver on his third-placed hurdles bow at Kempton 31 days ago and he could take advantage of a handy 13lb weight-for-age allowance. Rogue Tornado is also noted.

French Flat winner RISK IT ALL made a pleasing start to hurdling when third in a juvenile at Kempton a month ago and, having been found a good opportunity, he can probably open his account in this sphere now. Land of Moon is the biggest threat, although Rogue Tornado would be a player if able to replicate his Flat form.

With his age allowance, this looks an inviting opportunity for RISK IT ALL to open his account over hurdles.

5	5 (5) (5/2 +17%) Moulins Clermont		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(5) Moulins Clermont 5/2, A fairly useful winner over hurdles in 2022. Off almost 2 years before coming in last on chase debut at Newbury in November but took a major step forward when second there last month, looking a big threat to winner but perhaps still just needing the run after such a long absence. Can go well again. Solid effort at Newbury last month; possibilities off same mark in this similar event.
1	1 (1) (11/4 +17%) El Rio		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(1) El Rio 11/4, Low-mileage 7-y-o who has won a pair of handicap chases around 2½m this autumn, impressing with his accurate jumping at Sandown. Good third at Kempton since and remains of interest. Ran well at Kempton on Boxing Day when bidding for a hat-trick; may do better still.
3	3 (3) (3/1 -9%) Don't Tell Su		3 3/1(-9%)																															(3) Don't Tell Su 3/1, Bumper winner. Bright start over hurdles last season, completing simple task in a Wincanton maiden (15.2f) in March. Returned with good runner-up efforts at Sandown and Warwick and will make a chaser. Form figures of 222 in handicap hurdles; likely player, provided he takes to chasing.
2	2 (2) (10/3 +0%) Leave Of Absence		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(2) Leave Of Absence 10/3, Looked a smart prospect in bumpers and a novice hurdle for Chris Gordon in 2022. Showed he retains plenty of ability back from a long absence when second to Iberico Lord in 2-finisher Kempton maiden chase (2¼m) 9 weeks ago and likely player on handicap bow. Lightly raced; ran encouragingly at Kempton two months ago; may build on that effort.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +25%) Gyenyame		12 12/1(+25%)																															(4) Gyenyame 12/1, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner who has the size to make a chaser and built on his debut over fences when off the mark easily at Exeter in November. Beaten 24 lengths when third in a Wincanton handicap since, though. Blinkered first time. Won weak race at Exeter; laboured effort last time and now goes in blinkers.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE showed a good attitude when runner-up to Iberico Lord at Kempton in November, returning from over two years off the track. Given enough time to recover, Anthony Honeyball's gelding is likely to appreciate a step up in trip and can prove a cut above the opposition. El Rio is respected following his third at Kempton on Boxing Day, while Don't Tell Su was a useful type over hurdles and is likely to progress further over the larger obstacles.

MOULINS CLERMONT proved a completely different proposition on his second attempt over fences after an absence when second at Newbury and should come on again. He gets the vote over the progressive El Rio and chase-debutant Don't Tell Su.

Most of the runners hold solid-looking claims. The percentage call goes to MOULINS CLERMONT, ahead of Don't Tell Su.

2	2 (2) (11/8 +8%) Goraibhmaithagat		1.375 11/8(+8%)																															(2) Goraibhmaithagat 11/8, Promising individual. Won 16-runner novice hurdle at Navan (16f, soft, 16/1) on NH debut 51 days ago, cosily. Hasn't finished improving and this trip should suit, so he's the one to beat. Point and maiden hurdle winner is respected even though seems owner's second-string.

A solid effort in a listed novice event last time; shouldn't be far away with a repeat.
3	3 (3) (13/2 -247%) Mywayofthinkin		6.5 13/2(-247%)																															(3) Mywayofthinkin 13/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Lame when pulled up in For Auction Novices' Hurdle (8/1) at Navan (16.2f, good to soft) 72 days ago. Impressive winner on hurdling debut prior to that and remains with potential after a break. Course winner was lame last time but is the pick of owner's retained rider so respected.
7	7 (7) (9/1 -29%) Bayrann		9 9/1(-29%)																															(7) Bayrann 9/1, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 18-runner novice hurdle (3/1) at Thurles (16.1f, good) 37 days ago, pushed out. Respected. Won a 2m maiden at Thurles last time; can run well if staying this trip.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -33%) Frankendael		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Frankendael 16/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good) 57 days ago. Definite player if he's back on song after a short break. Was well below his best at Fairyhouse last time and has to rebound after a break.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -25%) Topgun Simmy		25 25/1(-25%)																															(5) Topgun Simmy 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner. 7/1, fell in novice chase at Listowel (22f, soft) 123 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon. Has the ability to compete but there's a bit to prove. Two chase outings lately and might find this trip a bit sharp on hurdles return.

The Gavin Cromwell-trained MYWAYOFTHINKIN and Fenway Park both need to bounce back after disappointing last time and preference is for the former. The well-bred son of Flemensfirth showed promise in bumpers before winning a 2m maiden when switched to hurdles here last spring and was found to be lame after pulling up on his reappearance in a Grade 3 at Navan. Fenway Park also won a maiden hurdle here last May but was let down by his jumping last month at Leopardstown. Bayrann gained reward for his consistency when taking a 2m Thurles maiden just before Christmas, while Goraibhmaithagat also won a Navan maiden over 2m and has plenty of scope for improvement.

GORAIBHMAITHAGAT had something up his sleeve when scoring at Navan 51 days ago and it will probably be a while before he finishes improving, so he gets the nod in an interesting affair. The Great Nudie could pose a threat to the selection with another step forward and Mywayofthinkin can't be ruled out after one poor run.

Found to be lame after being pulled-up last time, MYWAYOFTHINKIN is the pick of Mark Walsh and can bounce back

2	2 (2) (2/1 -7%) Squiggles		2 2/1(-7%)																															(2) Squiggles 2/1, 45,000 buy after winning point in Ireland. Chased home decent types in maidens before winning on handicap debut (Doncaster, 24.4f), looking an out and out stayer, ridden 3 out and found plenty. Up 5 lb but lightly-raced and remains of interest for excellent yard. Improving 6yo who made a winning start to handicaps last time; respected off 5lb higher..
3	3 (3) (11/4 +31%) Fortuna Ligna		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(3) Fortuna Ligna 11/4, Decent third at Ascot in November (closely matched with Midnightreflection) and build on that, running respectably in a much warmer handicap than this last-time (Sixth of 8, Kempton, 24.6f). Respected. Only the two wins but she's a strong stayer who needs serious consideration down in class..
1	1 (1) (7/2 +56%) Midnightreflection		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(1) Midnightreflection 7/2, C&D winner isn't the force of old but fared better last twice, fourth of 10 in a handicap at Warwick last month and ran to a similar level in first-time blinkers, fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft, 20/1) 10 days ago. Should be competitive in an open looking race. Recent efforts have been more encouraging but she still needs to find a little more..
5	5 (5) (4/1 -78%) River Tyne		4 4/1(-78%)																															(5) River Tyne 4/1, Course winner scored on 3 of her last 4 over fences, career-best when winning a 6-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, soft) 32 days ago, joined 3 out but rallied to lead, showed a game attitude. Arrives in good heart and one for the shortlist racing off an 8 lb lower mark over hurdles today. In cracking form over fences and needs serious consideration back over hurdles..
7	7 (7) (12/1 +33%) Ellie's Warrior		12 12/1(+33%)																															(7) Ellie's Warrior 12/1, Beaten a fair way both starts in bumpers and similar story in maiden hurdles. Makes handicap debut from 1 lb out of the handicap (following wind surgery) and others preferred. Shown little in two bumpers and three starts over hurdles; has been given wind surgery..

River Tyne reverts to hurdles on a 5lb lower mark than when landing a Fontwell chase on Boxing Day, but she is winless from six previous outings over timber and slight preference is for SQUIGGLES. A 5lb rise for a neck success over Doncaster's extended 3m last month may seem a little harsh, but James Owen's lightly-raced mare has scope for improvement. C&D winner Midnightreflection showed a bit more promise when not beaten too far at Market Rasen 10 days ago.

Lightly-raced Squiggles and prolific chaser River Tyne will both need to be ridden aggressively to bring their stamina into the mix and that could play into the hands of live outsider GATA BAN who has shown signs of promise on his last two runs and will be nursed into the race by a jockey who excels under patient tactics. Fortuna Ligna and Midnightreflection have both operated at a higher level than this, and a revival from either would not come as a surprise.

Squiggles is respected but a chance is taken on FORTUNA LIGNA who ran well in a higher grade last time.

7	7 (7) (4/1 +0%) Clap Of Thunder		4 4/1(+0%)																															(7) Clap Of Thunder 4/1, Placed on 3 of 4 starts in bumpers last season. Struck in a 2m Ascot novice in November and shaped better when result when fifth of 15 in 2m Cheltenham handicap a fortnight later. Too keen when third at Chepstow last month and he could be a big player here if first-time hood has the desired effect. Novice hurdler who has largely consistent form; solid claims in first-time hood.
2	2 (2) (11/2 -57%) Hms President		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(2) Hms President 11/2, Useful handicapper on Flat and has looked equally capable in this sphere, built on facile maiden hurdle success at Kempton when second of 10 in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) 50 days ago. Lightly-raced over obstacles and open to more improvement. Record of 212 over hurdles; well treated judged on useful Flat form; respected.
10	10 (10) (6/1 +29%) Wasthatok		6 6/1(+29%)																															(10) Wasthatok 6/1, Final run for Gavin Cromwell a creditable second behind a then progressive sort in a Market Rasen novice hurdle in August 2023. Well-backed in first-time tongue-tie on chase debut for new yard in January 2024 but failed to fire. Notable that stable jockey rides and interesting if he's well-backed. Absent since a poor effort on this card 12 months ago (chase/stable debut).
3	3 (3) (6/1 +25%) Manuelito		6 6/1(+25%)																															(3) Manuelito 6/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Richard Hannon and improved with each of his 4 starts over hurdles for previous connections (formerly with David Pipe) prior to very disappointing effort when pulling up at Market Rasen 175 days ago. One to note in the market making comeback for new and in-form yard. Progressive over hurdles for David Pipe until something looked amiss last time.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +33%) Black Hawk Eagle		6 6/1(+33%)																															(5) Black Hawk Eagle 6/1, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner for Noel Meade, landed 2m handicaps at Wincanton and over C&D for new handler last winter. Couple of decent placed efforts this year but outclassed in a premier handicap last month. Not ruled out down in grade but interesting stable jockey rides yard's other runner. Sole attempt at Hereford resulted in a comfortable success in this race last year.
11	11 (11) (8/1 +0%) Imaginarium		8 8/1(+0%)																															(11) Imaginarium 8/1, Useful Irish 9f winner on Flat for Ger Lyons and made a successful start over hurdles on his sole start for Lucinda Russell in May (Perth, 2m). Stiff task at Cheltenham starting out for this yard and then a below-par run on final qualifying run. Could do better now handicapping with yard going well. Not solid on last two efforts but opening mark is handy judged on Irish Flat form.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +25%) Maxcel		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) Maxcel 12/1, Clearly been hard to train but has won 4 races for this yard, including a pair of handicaps last summer, but season finished with a whimper when well-beaten at Market Rasen (16.6f) in July and bit of a concern that we haven't seen him since. Record of 3-5 in handicaps; absent since well held in better race six months ago.
4	4 (4) (12/1 -50%) Luttrell Lad		12 12/1(-50%)																															(4) Luttrell Lad 12/1, Scored at Cartmel in July 2023. Some quieter runs at the back of last-term / start of this season has seen his rating dip 2 lb below his latest winning mark and has to be of interest now having showed more when a decent fourth of 8 at Southwell (15.8f, soft) at the beginning of the month. Remains well treated on peak form; second off 9lb higher in sole Hereford run.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +0%) Anyharminasking		14 14/1(+0%)																															(1) Anyharminasking 14/1, Poor runs last twice, pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, heavy, 12/1) 26 days ago. Arrives here on the back of a near 3-year losing streak and best to look elsewhere for win purposes. On a three-year losing spell and has regressive form this term.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +13%) Holly		14 14/1(+13%)																															(8) Holly 14/1, Best efforts have come over smaller obstacles, but disappointing on return to hurdles when last of 12 in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago, raced keenly and one paced in home straight. Dropped 4 lb for that effort and may be inching towards a workable handicap mark. This drop back in trip/grade is suitable and mark is workable.
9	9 (9) (20/1 +20%) Maasai Mara		20 20/1(+20%)																															(9) Maasai Mara 20/1, Fairly useful on Flat and hurdles winner at Catterick (2m, soft) in February. Has refused over obstacles and missed break/shown awkward head carriage on Flat. Down 5 lb for below-form third of 4 here (19.7f), down in trip today but seems as if his temperament is hindering his talent at present. Refused to race once; has consistent form at Hereford; could go well.

Maxcel failed to complete a hat-trick when well beaten in a stronger event at Market Rasen last July, but he is an interesting contender on his seasonal return. However, HMS PRESIDENT gets the nod. Alan King's eight-year-old justified short odds at Kempton before hitting the crossbar at Huntingdon next time and he now makes his first start in a handicap in this sphere. Black Hawk Eagle is next best.

A competitive enough handicap and this can go to CLAP OF THUNDER who caught the eye when fifth in a decent Cheltenham handicap on his penultimate run. He was too keen last time and with a hood to help him relax, he's expected to relish this sharper test. Luttrell Lad is back down to an appealing handicap mark and could be a big danger having shown more last time. Kerry Lee saddles two interesting runners, and it could be significant that Richard Patrick has chosen to ride Wasthatok.

Last year's winner BLACK HAWK EAGLE is first choice ahead of HMS President, Imaginarium and Clap Of Thunder.

2	2 (2) (5/1 +29%) Silas Marner		5 5/1(+29%)																															(2) Silas Marner 5/1, Good fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 11 days ago. Should remain competitive. Solid effort at Fairyhouse last time on handicap debut and should go close with a repeat.
5	5 (5) (11/2 -10%) Bridie's Beau		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(5) Bridie's Beau 11/2, Fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) 31 days ago, not knocked about. Has more to offer and this longer trip should be in his favour, so one to be interested in. Didn't show much in a handicap last time; likely capable of better for an in-form yard.
1	1 (1) (13/2 +64%) Useta Lover		6.5 13/2(+64%)																															(1) Useta Lover 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, good twelfth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good) 30 days ago. Has been soundly beaten in two handicaps lately; likely capable of better, though.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +28%) John The Diva		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(6) John The Diva 13/2, Unseated rider in novice chase at Cork (20f, soft, 9/2) 10 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Shaped ok on penultimate outing and not dismissed back over the smaller obstacles. Maiden hurdle winner can run well with a repeat of his best.
20	20 (20) (12/1 -9%) C'est Rien		12 12/1(-9%)																															(20) C'est Rien 12/1, One win from 31 NH runs. Winner in chase at Tramore in September. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 26 days ago, mistake fourth. Not firing at present. Pulled up over hurdles and fences on latest starts and has to rebound.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +33%) Mighty Soldier		12 12/1(+33%)																															(8) Mighty Soldier 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at this course (16.4f, heavy) 27 days ago. Better effort on handicap debut over 2m at this track last time; could improve up in trip.
11	11 (11) (12/1 -33%) Ghumama		12 12/1(-33%)																															(11) Ghumama 12/1, Creditable sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16.2f, good to soft, 50/1) 42 days ago, barely adequate test. Can't be uled out if the race is run to suit. Solid efforts on last two starts; however, might find this ground too demanding.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +22%) Pana To Milan		14 14/1(+22%)																															(7) Pana To Milan 14/1, 9/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 55 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Well beaten on her last two hurdle starts and is still 10lb above last winning mark.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -14%) Aine's Lad		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Aine's Lad 16/1, Ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, soft, 12/1) 6 days ago. Others make more appeal. Has been soundly beaten in handicaps including six days ago at Down Royal.
21	21 (21) (16/1 +20%) Realtin Lonrach		16 16/1(+20%)																															(21) Realtin Lonrach 16/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.6f, soft, 25/1) 14 days ago, running on late. Worthy of respect. Not a bad effort in a novice handicap over C&D last time but needs more.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +0%) Driveonwill		20 20/1(+0%)																															(4) Driveonwill 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, thirteenth of 21 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. A hint of ability in three maiden hurdles; worth watching in the market for a shrewd yard.
17	17 (17) (20/1 -150%) El Phenomeno		20 20/1(-150%)																															(17) El Phenomeno 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, soft, 33/1) 10 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Not discounted. Beaten 16l on second handicap start last time after racing keenly; hood added.
16	16 (16) (20/1 -122%) Bridie Whittle		20 20/1(-122%)																															(16) Bridie Whittle 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Unseated rider in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy). Off 13 months. Hard to weigh up. Was beaten when unseating on handicap debut over a year ago and is best watched on return.
13	13 (13) (33/1 -200%) Hitthehayson		33 33/1(-200%)																															(13) Hitthehayson 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, fifteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.2f, soft) 45 days ago, going in snatches. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. May do better. Beaten a long way in three maiden hurdles but can do better now in handicaps; cheekpieces.
19	19 (19) (40/1 -122%) Kadys Dirha		40 40/1(-122%)																															(19) Kadys Dirha 40/1, Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. 33/1, brought down in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, soft) 10 days ago. Has a bit to prove and others are more persuasive. Maiden after 16 hurdle starts isn't easy to fancy.
15	15 (15) (66/1 -32%) Good Time Belle		66 66/1(-32%)																															(15) Good Time Belle 66/1, 40/1, last of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 94 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Something to prove. Beaten a long way on both handicap starts and isn't easy to fancy.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -60%) Niosfearabolt		80 80/1(-60%)																															(10) Niosfearabolt 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, first run since leaving Peter McCreery when seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, soft) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Well beaten in all completed maiden hurdle starts and has to improve plenty.

BRIDIE'S BEAU was placed on both bumper starts for Paul Nicholls and kept on into fifth on his first handicap outing at Limerick last month. That 2m event has thrown up a couple of subsequent winners and the selection is bred to appreciate this longer trip. Silas Marner has yet to score in 16 career starts but did give some encouragement when fourth to Duffys Hodey in a similar 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap earlier this month, while Klassman was placed a number of times in November before going off favourite when unseating rider three out here on New Year's Eve. Mighty Soldier, Mywayorthehighway and Dolly Watkins are others to consider.

BRIDIE'S BEAU looks to have been building up to something and, having not had a hard race last time, he's worth a chance to defy a mark of 95 at the possible expense of Klassman, who had been knocking on the door prior to unseating at this course last time. Silas Mariner is also respected.

Having run a solid race on handicap debut at Fairyhouse last time over a similar trip, SILAS MARNER could improve enough to take this

3	3 (3) (5/2 +0%) Invincible Nao		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(3) Invincible Nao 5/2, Opened chase account with a wide-margin victory at Fakenham (21f, soft) in February before finishing a fine second at Sandown. All the better for return when second at Leicester, beaten only by a subsequent winner. Big shout if staying longer trip. Shaped as though this trip might suit when second to a subsequent winner latest; player..
5	5 (5) (3/1 +40%) Vision De Maine		3 3/1(+40%)																															(5) Vision De Maine 3/1, Irish point winner who has made an excellent start (at around 3m) in this sphere, scoring at Uttoxeter and Lingfield before an excellent second of 8 back at Lingfield. Excuses at Wincanton since (found to have been struck into) so expected to bounce back. Headgear on. Had excuses when pulled up latest; could resume progress in the newly fitted cheekpieces..
6	6 (6) (7/2 +59%) Whydah Gally		3.5 7/2(+59%)																															(6) Whydah Gally 7/2, Hit the target twice in handicaps chases at Lingfield last season but yet to hit top form this term and needs to take a big step forward. Handles most ground and has the ability to get involved but he comes with risk..
1	1 (1) (6/1 -50%) Fantastikas		6 6/1(-50%)																															(1) Fantastikas 6/1, On a losing sequence and last of 4 finishers at Haydock 4 weeks ago. Career-low mark and good-value amateur booking are the positives. Hasn't won for 3 years but could figure with a capable 7lb amateur booked down in class..
4	4 (4) (15/2 +32%) Morfee		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(4) Morfee 15/2, At least as good as ever having another try at chasing last season, winning twice, including this race off this mark. Well held first 2 starts this season but did show a bit more when third over hurdles at Fakenham. No surprise to see him go well. C&D winner but out of sorts since returning from a break and easy to look elsewhere..
2	2 (2) (8/1 -191%) Northern Poet		8 8/1(-191%)																															(2) Northern Poet 8/1, Recorded a hat-trick switched to fences in the second half of 2022/23. Lightly raced since but mark is fair and he was denied only by an improving sort at Plumpton on return. That form has been boosted and he's one to be interested in. C&D winner who was a good second over C&D latest but the forecast rain would be a concern..

Invincible Nao is very interesting now upped in trip and the 2m5f winner has shaped as though it may suit, but the safer option appears to be C&D winner NORTHERN POET. Nick Gifford's 10-year-old returned from seven months off and wind surgery to chase home a progressive sort over this track and trip last month, and he can improve for that pipe-opener. Whydah Gally may be best of the remainder off a tumbling mark.

INVINCIBLE NAO was clear of the others when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Leicester and can go one better having been eased 1 lb. Northern Poet has been beaten only by a couple of progressive sorts on his last 2 starts here and is the obvious threat.

A few to consider but it could be worth chancing FANTASTIKAS now down to a class 4 with a capable amateur booked.

1	1 (1) (9/4 +0%) Famous Clermont		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(1) Famous Clermont 9/4, Useful chaser who shaped vastly better than the bare result when seventh in Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown before readily landing a lesser race at Stratford 8 months ago. Is the class act in this field and makes most appeal. One of the best hunter chases in 2023; not quite so good in 2024 but still respected.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +0%) Jet Plane		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Jet Plane 4/1, Back-to-back winner of handicap chases at Sandown and Market Rasen last spring, and positive start to this season when third of 8 at Wetherby in October. Shouldn't be judged too harshly on latest effort at Kempton during the Christmas period and he's a key player on this hunter debut. Useful handicapper; inconsistent, but a danger to all if on song for hunter chase debut.
3	3 (3) (9/2 -29%) Joker De Mai		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(3) Joker De Mai 9/2, Useful chaser in France and also landed 2m3f handicap hurdle at Lingfield for his new yard last winter. Has held form since and travelled well for a long way when third in a hunter at Taunton on casing debut last time. Worthy of interest. Consistent over hurdles last season and a respectable third in a recent hunter chase.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +0%) Take All		7 7/1(+0%)																															(5) Take All 7/1, Fairly useful chaser. 28/1, first run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when second of 9 in hunter chase at Taunton (21.7f, soft) 19 days ago. Can make his presence felt again if he's in the same form. Useful when based in Ireland and kept on for second on recent hunter chase debut.
8	8 (8) (8/1 +20%) Percussion		8 8/1(+20%)																															(8) Percussion 8/1, On a lengthy losing run but he ran right up to form when second from out of the weights in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter in June. Not at best in good handicaps since but this looks a bit easier. Didn't run badly in good-quality Haydock handicap last month; good chance here.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +25%) Willewonga		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) Willewonga 12/1, Successful in a maiden hunter at Cartmel when last seen under Rules and has a good record in points, albeit he unseated last time. Has a fair bit to find on form. 5-19 in points; comfortably won modest hunter chase last May but others look stronger.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +13%) One True King		14 14/1(+13%)																															(4) One True King 14/1, Dual handicap winner for Nigel Twiston-Davies last season and not disgraced between the flags last time. Could make an impact if his jumping holds up. Safely held when making the frame in two open points last month; more needed here.
11	11 (11) (20/1 +0%) Solomon Grey		20 20/1(+0%)																															(11) Solomon Grey 20/1, Back-to-back hunter winner in April 2022 but hasn't tasted success since and this 13-y-o is opposable. Quite useful hunter chaser in 2022 and 2023; not at same level in 2024 and now a teenager.
12	12 (12) (25/1 +0%) Upton Road		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Upton Road 25/1, Irish point winner who remains a maiden under Rules. Hasn't been seen for almost 2 years and others make more appeal. Fair handicapper in 2022-23 (C&D second); makes hunter chase debut after long absence.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +24%) Drakes Well		25 25/1(+24%)																															(7) Drakes Well 25/1, Fair hurdler. 11/2, respectable third of 8 in hunter chase at Stratford (20.9f, good to soft). Off 8 months and has plenty to find with some of these rivals. Placed in handicap hunter chase on latest outing in May but faces a tough task here.
9	9 (9) (33/1 +0%) Scoresby		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Scoresby 33/1, Point winner (dead-heated) in March, but well held in a couple of bumpers (for Christian Williams) and has shown little to date over hurdles. Multiple point winner since but latest effort wasn't great. Won three points last year but makes rules debut in a strong race and has fitness to prove.
10	10 (10) (50/1 -25%) Shang Tang		50 50/1(-25%)																															(10) Shang Tang 50/1, Fairly useful chaser who produced his best effort since joining this yard when second in a 5-runner affair at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) in February. Disappointed since and others are preferabele. Safely held when 33-1 third in eventful edition of this race a year ago.

FAMOUS CLERMONT went in by three lengths in a deeper contest than this at Stratford last May and this looks a good starting point. If the veteran retains that same enthusiasm, he will prove very hard to beat. Take All accounted for Joker De Mai (third) when filling the runner-up spot at Taunton earlier in the month and can confirm his authority over that rival. Jet Plane is the pick of the remainder.

FAMOUS CLERMONT is a veteran now but he showed there's plenty of life in him when last seen and he's worth a chance to make a winning return for all that Joker de Mai arrives on the back of a positive start to chasing. Jet Plane is another one to consider having his first go in this sphere.

Preference is for PERCUSSION, who ran well before tiring in a 3m1f Haydock slog last month and ought to find this race easier.

7	7 (7) (6/1 +50%) Westernersunrise		6 6/1(+50%)																															(7) Westernersunrise 6/1, Creditable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, soft, 18/1) 30 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Never landed a blow on handicap debut at Limerick but could still be more to come.
11	11 (11) (6/1 -50%) He Fitz In		6 6/1(-50%)																															(11) He Fitz In 6/1, 9/2, seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Navan (24f, soft) 9 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Not discounted. Mixing hurdling and chasing of late, penultimate C&D fourth gives him place claims.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +56%) Person Of Interest		7 7/1(+56%)																															(2) Person Of Interest 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, first run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Not taken lightly. Recent handicap debut run at Fairyhouse mildly encouraging but others better handicapped.
17	17 (17) (7/1 0%) That's Me Finished		7 7/1(0%)																															(17) That's Me Finished 7/1, 8/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, soft) 159 days ago, going clear. Up 7 lb and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to back that up. Absent since breaking his duck at Sligo in August; 7lb higher but ground in his favour.
5	5 (5) (9/1 -80%) Stellar Symphony		9 9/1(-80%)																															(5) Stellar Symphony 9/1, Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in October. Creditable fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft, 20/1) 29 days ago. Back up in trip and she enters calculations. Clonmel winner at this trip but held by the handicapper since.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +0%) Phoenix Cowboy		10 10/1(+0%)																															(3) Phoenix Cowboy 10/1, 66/1, creditable sixth of 17 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 30 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. 0-14 over hurdles but capable of giving a good account. Nowhere near as good hurdling as on Flat; previous attempt at 3m didn't inspire confidence.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -22%) Bernie's Legacy		11 11/1(-22%)																															(8) Bernie's Legacy 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Limerick (21f, soft) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive. Faded quite tamely over 2m5f at Limerick; limited appeal upped in trip here.
18	18 (18) (12/1 +45%) Alright George		12 12/1(+45%)																															(18) Alright George 12/1, 40/1, sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.9f, heavy) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Cheekpieces now tried and upped in trip on second handicap attempt.
19	19 (19) (16/1 -60%) Imperial Tune		16 16/1(-60%)																															(19) Imperial Tune 16/1, 18/1, seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (22f, soft) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Needs to improve on recent efforts but drops in grade so don't rule out.
15	15 (15) (18/1 -29%) Callmedusty		18 18/1(-29%)																															(15) Callmedusty 18/1, Fell in novice chase (28/1) at Cork (20f, soft) on debut over fences 10 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Uphill task. Faller on recent chase bow; previous handicap hurdle runs leave him with fair bit to find.
12	12 (12) (18/1 +0%) Shuil Na Tra		18 18/1(+0%)																															(12) Shuil Na Tra 18/1, Winner in hurdle at Sligo in August. 20/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft) 30 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Bit to prove. Won over 3m2f at Sligo last summer on soft but pulled up on two of three outings since.
16	16 (16) (20/1 -11%) Doyen Flyer		20 20/1(-11%)																															(16) Doyen Flyer 20/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Limerick (24f, soft) 30 days ago. Entitled to come on from Christmas comeback run and has form at this trip.
9	9 (9) (20/1 +0%) Cher Why Not		20 20/1(+0%)																															(9) Cher Why Not 20/1, 18/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.5f, soft) 26 days ago, tailing off some way out. Opposable. Veteran's recent comeback run was poor; hard to be confident in at this stage.
21	21 (21) (25/1 -108%) Manhattan Brook		25 25/1(-108%)																															(21) Manhattan Brook 25/1, 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 45 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Opening two handicap efforts poor; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie tried last time.
10	10 (10) (25/1 +50%) Midleton Rare		25 25/1(+50%)																															(10) Midleton Rare 25/1, 22/1, seventeenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Bumper winner is 0-6 hurdling, both recent handicap efforts poor; cheekpieces now tried.
20	20 (20) (25/1 +50%) Imbolc		25 25/1(+50%)																															(20) Imbolc 25/1, 22/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Tramore (22.8f, heavy) 26 days ago, dropping away quickly circuit out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Hasn't completed on both chase runs; hurdles run in between leaves him with plenty to find.
22	22 (22) (40/1 -60%) Volez Vous		40 40/1(-60%)																															(22) Volez Vous 40/1, 50/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 45 days ago, pulled up 3 out. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Maiden seemingly of little account; cheekpieces now tried and upped in trip.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -471%) Backonthegoagain		40 40/1(-471%)																															(1) Backonthegoagain 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.6f, soft) 14 days ago. None too fluent on latest in 2m4f novice handicap here a fortnight ago; others preferred.
13	13 (13) (50/1 -52%) Siul Molly Siul		50 50/1(-52%)																															(13) Siul Molly Siul 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Tramore (21f, heavy) 62 days ago. Dropped out quickly on handicap debut at Tramore; hard to fancy.
14	14 (14) (100/1 -456%) Awakino		100 100/1(-456%)																															(14) Awakino 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable 18½ lengths seventh of 14 to That's Me Finished in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Sligo (20.6f, soft) 159 days ago. Sligo handicap debut run leaves her with lots to find.

A chance is taken on the fitness of THAT'S ME FINISHED, who left all previous known form behind when getting off the mark at Sligo last summer. There is the potential for plenty more to come and he can pick up where he left off. Point-to-point winner Master Of The Sums caught the eye when keeping on into third in a 2m3f Limerick maiden last month and any market move would be interesting on his handicap debut. Stellar Symphony has won twice at around 3m and still looks on a competitive mark, while Westernersunrise is another to note.

COMEONARCHIE has found just one too good over similar trips to this here on his last two starts and is taken to get his head in front this time. With improvement likely now making the switch to handicap company, Master of The Sums may emerge as the main danger, while Person of Interest and Phoenix Cowboy may both have a say in the finish, too.

Not too many appeal. Perhaps COMEONARCHIE (nap) can go one better than on his two recent visits here

7	7 (7) (10/3 +33%) Gorcombe Moonshine		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(7) Gorcombe Moonshine 10/3, Fair hurdler and sole victory came over fences back in December 2023. Ran well after 6 months off when second in a chase at Fontwell (17.8f) last month and has to be of interest back over the smaller obstacles with yard in good form. Reached the frame over hurdles and fences in four of his last five runs; in the mix again.
5	5 (5) (7/2 -17%) Eliza Dolittle		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(5) Eliza Dolittle 7/2, Career-best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20.5f, good to soft) 42 days ago by ¾ length from Tara Iti, went with enthusiasm, headed 2 out but rallied to lead final 100 yds. Up 3 lb but should be in the mix again. Off the mark when beating Tara Iti here (2m4f) last time; big player again back in trip.
9	9 (9) (4/1 +56%) Sawpit Samantha		4 4/1(+56%)																															(9) Sawpit Samantha 4/1, No real impact for Sam Drinkwater but fitted with a hood/tongue tie, she made more of an impact starting out for new yard when third of 11 at Plumpton (20.5f) last month. Claims if she can build on that. Good third here (2m4f) on stable/seasonal debut last month; player if she can back that up.
3	3 (3) (9/2 +36%) Grasshopper Time		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(3) Grasshopper Time 9/2, Fair maiden hurdler who may have needed first run for 7 months when third of 5 at Uttoxeter and build on that with fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 38 days ago, weakened late on. Has had wind surgery since and he wouldn't need to improve much to be challenging for honours. 0-12 but mark continues to fall and he could find more on his first run after wind surgery.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -67%) Tara Iti		5 5/1(-67%)																															(2) Tara Iti 5/1, It's 14 outings since his last win in 2023 but he's finished in the frame on his last four runs. Didn't find as much as looked likely when third of 8 in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, soft) 26 days ago. Back down in trip shouldn't be a problem and has good claims in a winnable race. Didn't fire at Fakenham latest but he was in good form at this track before that.
4	4 (4) (9/1 +36%) Mount Washington		9 9/1(+36%)																															(4) Mount Washington 9/1, Showed a fair level of ability on first of 2 starts in bumpers but mixed record in 6 starts over hurdles to date, some promise on handicap debut but below-for last twice, including in first-time hood (removed today) and tongue tie latest. Would be more interesting if market speaks in his favour. Down the field in his three handicaps and he needs improvement after a short break.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -10%) Mi Sueno		22 22/1(-10%)																															(1) Mi Sueno 22/1, Bagged handicaps at Fakenham and at Plumpton last winter but well held in a pair of Flat handicaps in early summer and offered on two starts over hurdles this season. Best to look elsewhere. Has struggled since his C&D win last March and he needs a big turnaround.

Eliza Dolittle must be respected following her game success over the extended 2m4f here last month, but she's 3lb higher now and a drop in trip may not be ideal either. With that in mind, the vote goes to TARA ITI, who has been knocking on the door of late and has two C&D wins to his name, including one off 5lb higher than his current mark. This looks competitive, though, with Grasshopper Time, Gorcombe Moonshine and Rapid Mission also in with a shout.

Back down in trip and with a 2 lb pull at the weights, TARA ITI can reverse the form with Eliza Dolittle who narrowly came out on top when the pair met here last month. Grasshopper Time and Sawpit Samantha can fight it out for a place on the podium. Mount Washinhton has been hit and miss but would be of interest if the market spoke in his favour.

This looks a bit trappy but it might be worth sticking with ELIZA DOLITTLE (nap), who got off the mark with a brave win here last time.

1	1 (1) (11/4 -10%) Kitaro Kich		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(1) Kitaro Kich 11/4, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (17/2) at this C&D 7 days ago by 1½ lengths from Pessoa, readily. Enters calculations under a penalty. Cosy C&D win last week; penalty and wide draw to overcome but he's high on the list.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +47%) Falcon Nine		4 4/1(+47%)																															(4) Falcon Nine 4/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/1) 30 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Others look more solid. Exposed 16-race maiden; pulled too hard in this headgear last time.
10	10 (10) (9/2 -50%) Pessoa		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(10) Pessoa 9/2, Four-time course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Creditable 1½ lengths second of 9 to Kitaro Kich in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Has to be taken seriously. Knocking at the door; would have finished closer to Kitaro Kich with clear run last week.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +6%) I Can't Believe		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(9) I Can't Believe 15/2, Visored for 1st time, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at this course (9.5f) 32 days ago. Others make more appeal for win purposes. Eight-race maiden but has shown promise; conditions should suit; may yet do better.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +18%) My Brother Mike		9 9/1(+18%)																															(7) My Brother Mike 9/1, C&D winner. 9/1, last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Back up in trip and not without an each-way chance. Conditions to suit; had an excuse last time and type to bounce back quickly.
3	3 (3) (9/1 +36%) King Of Speed		9 9/1(+36%)																															(3) King Of Speed 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 16/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 30 days ago, never nearer. Place possibilities. Two C&D wins last year, the latest in November off 3lb lower; should make a bold bid.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +27%) Light Up Our Stars		16 16/1(+27%)																															(8) Light Up Our Stars 16/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 16/1) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Conditions to suit and on a dangerous mark; consistency an issue but capable on a good day.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +36%) Al Suil Eile		16 16/1(+36%)																															(2) Al Suil Eile 16/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Sixth of 9 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7.2f) 14 days ago, finishing with running left. Up in trip and needs to raise his game. 3 Southwell wins last winter; yet to shine this winter but he's slipping down the weights.
5	5 (5) (22/1 -57%) Fior Di Bosco		22 22/1(-57%)																															(5) Fior Di Bosco 22/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Others more persuasive on balance. No improvement for handicaps on last three starts; down in weights but risky.
6	6 (6) (22/1 -144%) Marioento		22 22/1(-144%)																															(6) Marioento 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in novice (150/1) at this C&D 20 days ago, slowly away. Big step forward needed now handicapping. Looks a likely improver now handicapping at a low level; betting should be revealing.

Kitaro Kich wasn't winning out of turn over C&D last week and is expected to go well again. However, a 5lb penalty makes life tougher and on 5lb worse terms, he isn't guaranteed to confirm that form with runner-up PESSOA, who has been knocking hard on the door of late. It will be interesting to see how Marioento fares in the betting now he swaps novice company for handicaps.

A good opportunity for PESSOA, who has gained all four of his career wins at this course and can deservedly add to that having found just one too good on each of his last two starts. He was beaten 1½ lengths by Kitaro Kich last time and is weighed to reverse those placings, now 5 lb better off with that rival. Kitaro Kich should give a good account, though, and is clear second choice ahead of My Brother Mike.

Kitaro Kich and the unexposed Marioento are of interest but there could be a bigger effort forthcoming from I CAN'T BELIEVE.

10	10 (10) (5/1 +0%) Drash On Ruby		5 5/1(+0%)																															(10) Drash On Ruby 5/1, Yet to win a race but shaped better than the bare result after 9 weeks off when third of 11 in a handicap hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy), travelled well but made shuddering error 3 out. Clearly on a workable mark and could make amends here. Third at Exeter this month, despite bad jumping error, and remains on a good mark.
4	4 (4) (6/1 +0%) State Of Fame		6 6/1(+0%)																															(4) State Of Fame 6/1, Best run for this yard when third of 16 in a first-time visor 9 days ago (Taunton, 19f), finishing to good effect under today's conditional jockey. Solid claims again. Creditable third of 16 at Taunton (2m3f) last week; today's longer trip will suit.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +13%) Sparkling Duke		7 7/1(+13%)																															(8) Sparkling Duke 7/1, Best effort in handicaps when fourth of 18 at Chepstow (19.5f, good to soft) in November, probably didn't see out the longer distance when third of 10 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Wincanton (24.7f, heavy) 53 days ago and this trip may suit better. Placed twice at end of last year (2m3f/3m); today's trip could be ideal for him.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +13%) Hellfire Princess		7 7/1(+13%)																															(9) Hellfire Princess 7/1, Twice a winner here, latest a hard-fought victory, digging deep to land a 15-runner handicap hurdle this time last year. Slight step up in trip shouldn't be a concern and market should tell us if he's ready to roll after a year-long absence. 2m3f course winner just over a year ago; resumes on 8lb higher mark.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -7%) Nollyador		8 8/1(-7%)																															(5) Nollyador 8/1, Fair placed form in bumpers in 2021/22 but only modest form in maiden/novice hurdles in the 2022/23 season. Made handicap debut after nearly 2 years off, third of 8 in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, heavy) proving he retains ability. Had a hard enough race but claims if he can back that up. Placed on last month's handicap debut, following a long absence, and remains unexposed.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Activist		8 8/1(+0%)																															(1) Activist 8/1, Latest win in hurdle at Leicester in November but could not follow it up when sixth of 9 there 15.5f, heavy) last month, Blinkers back on when fourth of 10 at this venue 12 days ago, outpaced and kept on late. Up in trip but doesn't appear to have much in hand off his current mark. Won three times in 2024 and began this year with a good effort here; one to consider.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Rock Hurley		8 8/1(+0%)																															(3) Rock Hurley 8/1, Won pair of 4-y-o hurdles in France but hasn't reached those heights for current connections. Step in the right direction when third of 8 in a handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) 45 days ago and has scope to be competitive off this mark. Generally disappointing in Britain but was placed off his much-reduced mark last month.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +0%) Sangiovese		8 8/1(+0%)																															(6) Sangiovese 8/1, Won a novice handicap hurdle this time last year and although runner-up twice since, he's been making hard work of it, not travelling fluently. Lightly raced so further progress couldn't be ruled out on comeback, however he clearly has his own ideas about the game and others preferred today. In good form in early part of last year but tends to race lazily and has fitness to prove.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +29%) Ted's Friend		10 10/1(+29%)																															(2) Ted's Friend 10/1, Running with credit of late, third of 10 in handicap hurdle at this venue (21.7f, good) in November and chased home a less-exposed rival when second at Fakenham (23.4f) on New Year's Day. Will be ridden positively back down in trip and could hit the frame again. Largely consistent 9yo; likely contender if ground is no worse than good to soft.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -9%) Jack The Savage		12 12/1(-9%)																															(7) Jack The Savage 12/1, Well-supported when second here in November, although the race did fall apart a bit. Has every chance in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Huntingdon (20.7f, good) 76 days ago, one-paced. Has finished second on both runs here and each-way claims again here. 1-14 over hurdles; good second here two starts ago but overall record not persuasive.
11	11 (11) (20/1 +0%) Musique De Fee		20 20/1(+0%)																															(11) Musique De Fee 20/1, Probably needed the run on her recent comeback at Wincanton but failed to come on for that when pulled-up at Chepstow 82 days ago. Needs to bounce back from that disappointing effort. Needs to bounce back from a poor run but current mark is workable and Sean Bowen rides.
12	12 (12) (20/1 +0%) Beaufort Breeze		20 20/1(+0%)																															(12) Beaufort Breeze 20/1, Irish point winner but big prices and well-beaten in 3 maiden hurdles for current yard. Up in trip on handicap debut and hard to recommend unless significant market support arrives. Well beaten in his three qualifying races but worth a glance in the betting today.
13	13 (13) (66/1 +0%) Trudie Glen		66 66/1(+0%)																															(13) Trudie Glen 66/1, Showed something to work with in bumpers/maiden hurdles for Dan Skelton but since left that yard and pulled-up on debut for new connections. Up in trip wearing first-time hood and tongue-tie for handicap debut but difficult to make a strong case for. Pulled up when 50-1 for stable/handicap debut; sports new headgear here.

State Of Fame made the frame in this grade at Taunton on his latest outing and it would be no surprise to see him play a leading role off only 1lb higher. However, it may pay to side with NOLLYADOR, who finished third at Huntingdon last month and goes off an unchanged mark. With the booking of Harry Cobden catching the eye, he could make his second handicap start a successful one. Sangiovese completes the shortlist.

With plenty of pace on paper, this could suit the patiently-ridden DRASH ON RUBY who was still going well when making a significant error 3 out last time and she looks very fairly treated off this mark. State of Fame ran well under today's rider 9 days ago and should be staying on at the business end of the race. Rock Hurley has fallen to a workable mark and he can finish in the money today.

The suggestion is STATE OF FAME, who did well to finish third at Taunton recently and will be suited by today's longer trip.

5	5 (5) (3/1 +25%) Livingston Range		3 3/1(+25%)																															(5) Livingston Range 3/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 10/1) 45 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Better draw now and was placed here off 72 last January; good chance; blinkers on.

2	2 (2) (4/1 0%) Sam's Xpress		4 4/1(0%)																															(2) Sam's Xpress 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November.

6	6 (6) (8/1 +11%) My Girl Sioux		8 8/1(+11%)																															(6) My Girl Sioux 8/1, C&D winner in November, her sole success from 37 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 12/1) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Won over C&D in November; below form of late and can often start slowly.
12	12 (12) (17/2 +23%) Rattletheonionbag		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(12) Rattletheonionbag 17/2, Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (7/1) at this course (7f) 40 days ago. Down in trip and not without each-way hope. Can go well again but this is her first try at 5f and it might be sharp enough for her.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -69%) Cuban Grey		11 11/1(-69%)																															(1) Cuban Grey 11/1, 8/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (5f, good). Off 7 months but could have a part to play if fully tuned-up. Second at Down Royal in June; talented 7lb claimer on board; 217-day absence.
11	11 (11) (22/1 -57%) Nordic Passage		22 22/1(-57%)																															(11) Nordic Passage 22/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fifth of 27 in handicap (40/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to soft), unable to sustain effort. Off 102 days. Back down in trip. Really well treated; market will be revealing for the yard's first runner of the year.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -79%) No Speed Limit		25 25/1(-79%)																															(9) No Speed Limit 25/1, Four-time course winner.. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, below form sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 13 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor. 10yo has been below his best for some time but is back down to his last winning mark.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -150%) Havana Notion		40 40/1(-150%)																															(4) Havana Notion 40/1, Course winner. Last of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 22/1) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won here around this time last year; workable mark but risky at present and drawn high.
3	3 (3) (100/1 -186%) Happy Henry		100 100/1(-186%)																															(3) Happy Henry 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago, missing break. Opposable. No closer than 7l in three maidens and on handicap debut around here; should struggle.
13	13 (13) (125/1 -213%) Clarabell		125 125/1(-213%)																															(13) Clarabell 125/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 28/1) 13 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Something to find on form. Soundly beaten on all starts including a pair of handicaps here; will be tapped for toe.
14	14 (14) (200/1 -300%) Magna Beauty		200 200/1(-300%)																															(14) Magna Beauty 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap (66/1) at this course (8f) 13 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Well beaten in four latest starts; best watched for now despite the first-time blinkers.

TURN UP THE BEAT ran really well back at Dundalk last month and may be able to go one better now. The Outstrip gelding stuck on well when headed inside the final furlong and was only beaten a head by Crystal Luna. Off just a 2lb higher mark, he's expected to run a big race again. Livingston Range is a candidate to race prominently as well and could be a danger. He drops back in trip after a solid run to finish third here last month. Leblon Girl showed some ability in England and is one to note on her first outing for Adrian Murray.

LIVINGSTON RANGE was beaten in the C&D handicaps won by re-opposing pair My Girl Sioux and Sam's Xpress respectively in November, but he has clear prospects of reversing the placings with those rivals on these revised terms. Moreover, the 7-y-o left the strong impression that his turn is near when third here last time. Turn Up The Beat put in a good shift back at this course last month and he is a threat, while Sam's Xpress is third choice ahead of Cuban Grey.

The tentative vote goes to LIVINGSTON RANGE, who ran a huge race from a terrible draw here last time and is handicapped to strike

Should go well again. Off the mark with a comfortable defeat of Top Of The Class at Kempton 12 days ago; solid.
4	4 (4) (9/4 -38%) Top Of The Class		2.25 9/4(-38%)																															(4) Top Of The Class 9/4, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton in August. Creditable length second of 9 to Gaiety Musical in a handicap at Kempton (8f, 6/1) 12 days ago, not ideally placed over a muddling pace, finished well. Merits consideration. Two Kempton wins last year; second to Gaiety Musical 12 days ago; should go well again.
5	5 (5) (10/3 +52%) Celebrating Ethel		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(5) Celebrating Ethel 10/3, One win from 24 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 10 in a handicap at this course (9.5f, 15/2) 14 days ago, that came off career low mark. Up 1lb but should be competitive again. Best run for a while when second over 9.5f here two weeks ago; up in class but feared.
1	1 (1) (11/1 -100%) Zandita		11 11/1(-100%)																															(1) Zandita 11/1, Thrice-raced winner. Couldn't build on comeback run when last of 11 in a handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 20/1) 27 days ago. Needs to improve for the extra distance today. Good runs in novice company; well beaten at 20-1 on h'cap debut; new trip; down in class.
2	2 (2) (25/1 +0%) Signora Bellissima		25 25/1(+0%)																															(2) Signora Bellissima 25/1, Last of 11 in a handicap (50/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 26 days ago, slowly away. Makes limited appeal back down in trip. Generally struggled for this yard but down in the weights and has the ability to feature.

Going back up to a mile really helped GAIETY MUSICAL when she scored at Kempton recently and there could be more to come. Her supporters will be pleased to see that Richard Kingscote keeps the ride and she can confirm form with Top Of The Class (second), with this extra half a furlong potentially a source of further improvement. Keep an eye on Celebrating Ethel too.

TOP OF THE CLASS wasn't ideally placed when chasing home Gaiety Musical earlier this month and with a 2 lb pull at the weights, Mark Loughnane's mare may be able to reverse the form. Celebrating Ethel should run well again having only gone up 1 lb for finishing second here two weeks ago.

Top Of The Class is 2lb better off with GAIETY MUSICAL today but the result may be the same as at Kempton 12 days ago.

BEAUTY BELLA has some solid handicap form here in recent weeks and looks up to landing a claimer. The daughter of Buratino is top-rated in the field, with a mark of 64, and appears to be nicely treated at the weights. Belles Feuilles comes here in winning form, having posted a C&D success last month, and she looks to have a big shout. Deed Pole has been knocking on the door in handicap company and is another to consider.

BELLES FEUILLES made a winning start for this yard over C&D last month and, still on a good mark up 5 lb, she is taken to strike again. Next on the list is Beauty Bella, who was below par on her latest start but she performed well on first two starts for this yard and has a leading chance on these terms. Jawhary is best of the rest.

Preference is for BEAUTY BELLA, consistent in handicaps of late and well enough treated at the weights.

2	2 (2) (8/11 +52%) Dance In The Storm		0.727273 8/11(+52%)																															(2) Dance In The Storm 8/11, Promising individual. Fifth of 12 in novice (33/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 79 days ago. That race has worked out well and she looks to have excellent claims. Pleasing start to her career at Chelmsford (7f) in November; open to plenty of improvement.
3	3 (3) (13/8 +0%) Dancing Colours		1.625 13/8(+0%)																															(3) Dancing Colours 13/8, Twice-raced maiden. Took a step forward from debut when second of 14 in a novice event at Kempton (7f, 8/1) 54 days ago, stayed on well suggesting a mile won't be beyond her in time. Good claims today. Better effort at the second attempt, chasing home a promising sort at Kempton; contender.
8	8 (8) (15/2 -125%) Phrygia		7.5 15/2(-125%)																															(8) Phrygia 15/2, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, fifth of 10 in maiden (20/1) at this C&D on debut 21 days ago, penny dropped late on. That was a promising introduction and is entitled to progress. Kept on steadily for a never-nearer fifth over C&D 3 weeks ago; better to come; respected.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -135%) Love You More		20 20/1(-135%)																															(6) Love You More 20/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, sixth of 12 in novice at this C&D on debut 31 days ago and looks one for the longer term. Debut effort here last month wasn't without promise; improvement needed to feature though.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -12%) Manyana Blue		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Manyana Blue 28/1, Postponed filly Dam, French 9f-11f winner, also won over hurdles. This might be on the sharp side on debut. Dam a Flat/hurdle winner; suspicion she'll need 1m+ before she's of serious interest.
4	4 (4) (100/1 0%) Dixie's Delight		100 100/1(0%)																															(4) Dixie's Delight 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at this C&D 21 days ago, hampered late but never involved. Needs more. Promise in two C&D maidens this winter; more to come, probably when handicapping.
5	5 (5) (125/1 -25%) Island Ocean		125 125/1(-25%)																															(5) Island Ocean 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 8 in maiden (22/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut 40 days ago. Unlikely to trouble market principals. In need of the experience when last of eight on her debut six weeks ago; can do better.
1	1 (1) (250/1 -67%) Love Is A Rose		250 250/1(-67%)																															(1) Love Is A Rose 250/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (8f). Off 93 days. First run for yard after leaving Michael Wigham. Opposable. Regressive 11-race maiden; no appeal at this level now starting out for a new yard.

The eye is immediately drawn to DANCING COLOURS, who represents the powerhouse Charlie Appleby yard and she improved from her first to second run when taking the silver medal at Kempton last month. Entitled to have progressed again since, she gets the nod ahead of Chelmsford debut fifth Dance In The Storm, a potential improver for another top yard. Phrygia makes the most appeal of the remainder.

DANCE IN THE STORM made a very pleasing start to her career, in a race that had some substance, and she lose her maiden tag today. Dancing Colours is progressive and should go close again, while Phrygia is open to improvement having showed plenty to work with on debut.

Dancing Colours still has more to offer but DANCE IN THE STORM is preferred after her promising Chelmsford debut in November

Has been holding form well and promises to put up another bold showing in a weak event. Went close on a few occasions before the turn of the year; stays and a leading contender.
6	6 (6) (3/1 -33%) Vivacious Lady		3 3/1(-33%)																															(6) Vivacious Lady 3/1, Good second of 14 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D 38 days ago. On a fair mark and arrives at the top of her game, so she's the one to beat. Just failed to get up in a handicap last month; there may well be more to come from her.
1	1 (1) (11/2 +0%) Sir Callisto		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(1) Sir Callisto 11/2, Tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 45 days ago. Still unexposed and worth monitoring in the betting. Has struggled since arriving here from France and best watched at the moment.
7	7 (7) (6/1 -9%) Someone's Wish		6 6/1(-9%)																															(7) Someone's Wish 6/1, Good fourth of 9 in novice chase (14/1) at Down Royal (16.5f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Running respectably when last seen in this sphere and isn't without hope. Two-time AW winner in 2023; ran well in two of his last three chase starts; interesting.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +9%) Darkened		10 10/1(+9%)																															(8) Darkened 10/1, Course winner. Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Down Royal (17.2f, soft) 6 days ago. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Looks capable of getting competitive back on the level. Enough to like about his most recent form, here and in a couple of handicap hurdles.
2	2 (2) (22/1 -120%) Gracesolution		22 22/1(-120%)																															(2) Gracesolution 22/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good). Off 148 days. Will probably need this. Has run well here in the past including over this trip; off since September but capable.
3	3 (3) (28/1 -133%) Rhythm And Tyne		28 28/1(-133%)																															(3) Rhythm And Tyne 28/1, Course winner. Last of 11 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back quickly. Reported to have a swollen knee after a bad run here last week; claims at his best.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -18%) Gregorina		33 33/1(-18%)																															(9) Gregorina 33/1, Latest win at Hamilton in August. 50/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (16f) 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Others preferred. Yet to score on this surface; cut no ice over this trip last twice and readily passed over.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -200%) La Tulipe Noire		66 66/1(-200%)																															(5) La Tulipe Noire 66/1, Course winner. 25/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Bit below form on last Flat outing. Hard to recommend. Winner on this surface but out of form on the Flat and over hurdles for some time.
10	10 (10) (125/1 -150%) Sing A New Song		125 125/1(-150%)																															(10) Sing A New Song 125/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in maiden at this C&D (200/1) 13 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Poor form on the Flat and in one run over hurdles; 5lb wrong and makes no appeal.

KONIAG has been knocking on the door during the winter months and compensation could be on the cards. The four-year-old is only 1lb higher than when finishing second here 38 days ago and Paddy Harnett's 5lb claim could prove decisive. Vivacious Lady has filled the runner-up spot on her last couple of visits here and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Darkened, who hasn't been disgraced over timber of late.

VIVACIOUS LADY is on a fair mark and arrives on the back of two likeable performances, so she's fancied to go one better than her second over C&D last month, Koniag looks the main threat and Someone's Wish should give his running back on the Flat.

The one to be on should be VIVACIOUS LADY (nap) who narrowly failed over C&D last month and has more to offer.

Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 9 days ago, needing stiffer test. Should go well again. Multiple course winner; solid contender on this winter's best; should give her running.

6	6 (6) (16/1 -60%) Copper Mountain		16 16/1(-60%)																															(6) Copper Mountain 16/1, 22/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f). Off 7 months.

First run for yard after leaving John & Sean Quinn. Chance on last season's best efforts; starts out for new yard in an uncompetitive event.

Off 7 months. Hard to fancy. Went the wrong way for this yard in the first half of 2024; bit to prove after an absence.

GALILEO GLASS pulled hard when sporting first-time blinkers and fading into sixth over this trip at Chelmsford on his first start for the Darryll Holland stable. If the six-year-old can settle better off a 3lb lower mark, then he could record his second course-and-distance victory. Bossy Parker ran below par when fourth over track and trip last time, but he is a player based on his second here prior to that display. Of the remainder, Plumette makes the most appeal after her third over this C&D.

PLUMETTE is the only one to arrive on the back of a solid effort, so she's taken to go two better than when third over C&D recently. Bossy Parker is expected to bounce back and is feared most, while Galileo Glass would be of interest if the market spoke in his favour.

This looks a good opportunity for BOSSY PARKER (nap) to record a third C&D win. Galileo Glass may provide the stiffest resistance.

Had a bit to spare last time and should go well again. Saw off some of these rivals over C&D off 56 last month; the runner-up has won since.

Blinkers back on. Worth a chance to go one better here. Came back to form in new headgear combination; should go well again for in-form yard.

Can make presence felt. Ran on well to finish a close 3rd over C&D last month and he's an each-way contender again.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +13%) Villemacho		7 7/1(+13%)																															(8) Villemacho 7/1, 9/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Worthy of respect. 1-28 in France but definite promise when fourth over C&D on 2nd start for Feane.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +20%) Juyush		16 16/1(+20%)																															(2) Juyush 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D.

12	12 (12) (25/1 +0%) Royal Tribute		25 25/1(+0%)																															(12) Royal Tribute 25/1, Course winner. Two wins from 45 Flat runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, not much room.

Fifth behind Daonethatgotaway over C&D last month; feasibly treated but others more likely.

FREE SOLO has run really well on his last couple of outings here and may be able to collect, despite creeping up a few pounds. He bumped into an in-form horse in Cousin Shay over C&D on his penultimate outing before another solid run to chase home Volatile Analyst 10 days ago. He wouldn't be winning out of turn. Daonethatgotaway got 6lb for his win here last month, but may still be competitive off his revised rating. Harry The Rogue has been runner-up on his last two starts and steps up to a mile. He is another who has to be on the shortlist in a competitive contest for the grade.

FREE SOLO is well handicapped and has been threatening to capitalise lately, finishing clear of the remainder when runner-up here 10 days ago, so he gets the nod ahead of last-time-out C&D winner Daonethatgotaway. Harry The Rogue is also of interest.

Sam Coen's claim will ease the burden aboard FREE SOLO and he can get his head in front for in-form trainer Pat Murphy

1	1 (1) (3/1 +10%) Ravenglass		3 3/1(+10%)																															(1) Ravenglass 3/1, Course winner. Latest win here in October. 5/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, race not ideally run to suit. One of the more consistent performers in this modest race and merits serious consideration. Below par last time but in good order beforehand; change of headgear could give him a lift.
5	5 (5) (7/2 -27%) Kranjcar		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(5) Kranjcar 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. easy to back at 3/1 when sixth of 10 in a handicap at Newcastle (6f) 6 days ago. However back up in trip with blinkers on today and could do better for excellent trainer/jockey combination. Burned the fingers of his supporters in two runs this month; accessories now added.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +50%) Big Narstie		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(3) Big Narstie 7/2, Quirky sort. C&D winner. Three wins from 17 runs last year. Tenth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 13 days ago, made little impact. Others more persuasive. On a lowly mark now and the booking of Rossa Ryan points to an improved showing.
6	6 (6) (13/2 +0%) Ajrad		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(6) Ajrad 13/2, Latest win at Chepstow in September. 6/1, respectable fifth of 12 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago, but did not look the easiest of rides. Others have stronger credentials. Has the ability to feature at this level but his recent AW runs need bettering.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -23%) Sam's Hope		8 8/1(-23%)																															(2) Sam's Hope 8/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 12 days ago, but may do better back at 7f. Is a little hit and miss but is now 3 lb below her last winning mark and that makes her interesting in this sort of company. Two runs this winter haven't been without hope; 7f could be her optimum; contender.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +0%) Bernie The Bear		8 8/1(+0%)																															(4) Bernie The Bear 8/1, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 10 in minor event (17/2) at this course (6.1f) 2 days ago. 0-20 for this yard but he's often run well; below his best over 6f here on Saturday.
7	7 (7) (11/1 +8%) Sea The Buckthorn		11 11/1(+8%)																															(7) Sea The Buckthorn 11/1, C&D winner blows hot and cold. One win from 26 Flat runs. Ninth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 79 days ago but place claims if on a going day. Poor strike-rate; conditions fine but others look stronger for win purposes.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -12%) Peachey Carnehan		28 28/1(-12%)																															(8) Peachey Carnehan 28/1, 3-time C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at this C&D 9 days ago and easy to look elsewhere. It's been a long time since he won over 7f and he looks vulnerable once again.

More was expected of RAVENGLASS when only managing fifth over track and trip earlier in the month, but he is 1lb lower now and has Cam Hardie back on board. The six-year-old made the frame in two starts at this venue prior to that most recent effort and a reproduction of either of those displays might be good enough here. Kranjcar wasn't beaten far into sixth over 6f at Newcastle last Tuesday and might appreciate this step back up in trip off an unchanged mark. Big Narstie isn't out of it either.

There might not be much pace on here, and the emphasis on speed might suit lightly-raced KRANJCAR more than it does Ravenglass, who needs a truly run 7 furlongs to be seen to best effect. Sam's Hope could be gearing up for a better effort from her falling handicap mark.

Several possibles despite the small field. Returning to 7f could suit SAM'S HOPE and she's marginally preferred to Ravenglass.

4	4 (4) (11/8 +82%) Saint Brandon		1.375 11/8(+82%)																															(4) Saint Brandon 11/8, Lightly-raced winner. Bit below form ninth of 16 in minor event at Naas (7f, good to soft, 8/1). Off 106 days. Makes polytrack debut. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Improved last year; stable in fine form and could be capable of improving on this mark.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +50%) Iowntheball		4 4/1(+50%)																															(1) Iowntheball 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 9/1, seventh of 16 in minor event at Naas (7f, good to soft). Off 106 days. Makes handicap debut. Mark of 82 does not look particularly favourable and is probably best watched.
6	6 (6) (9/2 -80%) Lost President		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(6) Lost President 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (10/3) 13 days ago, well on top finish. Shortlist material. C&D winner last week; up 7lb and this is tougher again but he could well be progressive.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +41%) Gran Habano		5 5/1(+41%)																															(2) Gran Habano 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent third of 11 in minor event at this course (6f, 15/2) 73 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Close third in a 6f race here in November; trip an unknown but comes into it if he stays.
3	3 (3) (17/2 -183%) Fortuna Vera		8.5 17/2(-183%)																															(3) Fortuna Vera 17/2, Twice-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. 3/1, won 14-runner maiden at this course (7f) 61 days ago. Makes handicap debut and more to come. Step up to 1m should suit and there should be plenty more to come from her.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -85%) Amber Blossom		12 12/1(-85%)																															(7) Amber Blossom 12/1, Course winner. Respectable seventh of 14 in nursery (7/2) at this course (7f) 40 days ago, left poorly placed. Can give a good account. Disappointed in a nursery here last month; could be high enough in the handicap.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -178%) Habari		25 25/1(-178%)																															(5) Habari 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at this C&D 66 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve. Gelded since his last run and cheekpieces tried; not that well treated but has scope.

LOST PRESIDENT looked like a horse who could improve again after his win here 13 days ago and may be able to follow up. He made up a nice bit of ground turning for home and claimed the well-backed Senior Montecristo inside the final furlong to secure success. A 7lb hike doesn't look harsh. Fortuna Vera is another with upside and it will be interesting to see how she fares on her handicap debut. The Footstepsinthesand filly stepped forward from a promising debut run to win her maiden in November. Habari wears cheekpieces for his handicap debut and is one to note having hinted at ability in maidens.

LOST PRESIDENT relished the step up in trip when off the mark over C&D 2 weeks ago and he had enough in hand that day to suggest he can defy a 7 lb rise. Fortuna Vera confirmed debut promise whe scoring here in November and should have more to offer still, while Habari is a potential improver switched to a handicap.

Marginal preference is for surface debutant SAINT BRANDON, progressive last year and on a reasonable mark for an in-form outfit.

1	1 (1) (10/3 +49%) Royal Musketeer		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(1) Royal Musketeer 10/3, Won 10-runner handicap at this C&D (5/1) 21 days ago following 4-month break, in the right place the race unfolded. Fresh might be the best time to catch him but still respected in bid to follow up. Cosy C&D win three weeks ago; up 4lb but he's still a leading contender.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -33%) City Cyclone		4 4/1(-33%)																															(2) City Cyclone 4/1, Strong in the betting and won with something to spare when landing a double here (7.2f) 16 days ago. Travels with plenty of zest so drop to 6f shouldn't pose an issue and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Two comfortable 7f wins here this month; up in class but drop in trip could spark extra.
11	11 (11) (4/1 +33%) Charlie Mason		4 4/1(+33%)																															(11) Charlie Mason 4/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 days ago, possibly not seen to best effect and not ruled out back at 6f today. Series of good runs on AW this winter; R Ryan back on board; yard also run City Cyclone.
8	8 (8) (9/2 +25%) Jimmy Knocker		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(8) Jimmy Knocker 9/2, Stepped up on reappearance run to get off the mark, winning 8-runner handicap (13/2) at Newcastle (6f) 25 days ago, second and third have won since. Lightly-raced and could be open to more improvement. Off the mark at the 5th attempt with a snug Newcastle win 25 days ago; form well franked.
3	3 (3) (11/1 -10%) Angel Of England		11 11/1(-10%)																															(3) Angel Of England 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/1) 30 days ago, doing too much too soon. Blinkers back on today and place claims if settling better. Two good runs at Newcastle in November; not so good twice last month; front-runner.
7	7 (7) (11/1 +0%) Papa Cocktail		11 11/1(+0%)																															(7) Papa Cocktail 11/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 14/1) 23 days ago, that was a backward step and needs to leave that effort well behind. Type to be popping up soon but perhaps when he's eased into Class 6 company.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +0%) Land Lover		12 12/1(+0%)																															(6) Land Lover 12/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 11/2, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when creditable third of 8 in handicap, looked a bit rusty early on but did finish off his race. Interesting to see if he can build on that. Poor strike-rate; 3rd over C&D on recent stable debut, a race where he blew the start.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -50%) Bill Plumb		18 18/1(-50%)																															(4) Bill Plumb 18/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 11 days ago but may have needed run. Up in trip and should be fitter for recent outing. Satisfactory return from a long absence 11 days ago; return to this C&D in his favour.
5	5 (5) (20/1 -67%) Jackson Street		20 20/1(-67%)																															(5) Jackson Street 20/1, Winner at Newcastle in December. Fifth of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago, plugged on. First run for yard after leaving Dylan Cunha but may find a couple too good in here. Looked good at Newcastle last month (6f); lesser efforts twice since; sold 9,000gns.
12	12 (12) (25/1 -56%) Bibendum		25 25/1(-56%)																															(12) Bibendum 25/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 7/1) 12 days ago, weakened over 1f out, although that effort did come on the back of a 9-week absence. Blinkers on 1st time and should strip fitter here. 12-race maiden; conditions no problem but below par the last twice; new headgear.
9	9 (9) (40/1 +0%) Evocative Spark		40 40/1(+0%)																															(9) Evocative Spark 40/1, Back up in trip and fared no better than on previous starts for current yard, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 9 days ago. Down in distance today but others preferred. C&D win off 2lb higher as recently as November; yet to fire for this yard; drawn widest.

City Cyclone completed a course double on his latest outing and only has a 4lb higher mark to contend with, but this drop in trip might open the door for ROYAL MUSKETEER. Steph Hollinshead's seven-year-old competes off 4lb higher than his C&D success earlier in the month, but that is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. Last-time-out Newcastle scorer Jimmy Knocker is another to watch out for.

CITY CYCLONE was well backed to land a brace here, most recently when racing with plenty of zest and scoring with something to spare over 7f. The drop back to 6f shouldn't pose a problem and he should make a bold bid for the hat-trick today. The consistent Em Jay Kay should give another good account, while Jimmy Knocker earns plenty of respect, with the form of his recent win having been franked.

With the form of his Newcastle win having been handsomely advertised since, the unexposed JIMMY KNOCKER is taken to follow up.

Gillian Scott has done well with horses from yards associated with her brother Billy Lee in the past and RED HUGH O'DONNELL is an interesting acquisition for her. The Dark Angel gelding showed ability in three runs for Paddy Twomey, particularly when second to Emerald Harmony in Tipperary last August. He is top-rated in a moderate enough maiden here. Prince Of Eyeries was collared late on over C&D last month and is an obvious contender on that run. Alhather was placed a couple of times in England and is another for the shortlist on his first start for Eoghan O'Neill.

RED HUGH O'DONNELL might have found his last coming too soon so is worth another chance to confirm his Tipperary form starting out for a new yard. Prince of Eyeries and Alhather are others to consider.

ALHATHER faced some stiff opposition when running well for Andrew Balding last year. He should take some beating if ready to roll.

1	1 (1) (8/11 +34%) Hawa Jumeirah		0.727273 8/11(+34%)																															(1) Hawa Jumeirah 8/11, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (4/1) 7 days ago, cosily. Carries penalty. Has to be taken seriously. Off the mark with a comfortable win over C&D last Monday; big player again under penalty.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -27%) Starfighter		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(3) Starfighter 7/2, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 11 to Hawa Jumeirah in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 7 days ago. Another solid showing is on the cards but he may struggle to reverse that form. Won over C&D before a creditable third behind Hawa Jumeirah here last week; respected.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +27%) Rose Light		8 8/1(+27%)																															(4) Rose Light 8/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 31 days ago. Not completely discounted. Just one win from 26 starts and she's been well held in her last three runs.
2	2 (2) (17/2 -55%) Mirabello Bay		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(2) Mirabello Bay 17/2, C&D winner. 9/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 14 days ago. Worthy of interest in a thin race. His last win was off this mark over C&D last March; dangerous if things go his way.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -14%) Bloodhound		16 16/1(-14%)																															(5) Bloodhound 16/1, Blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this course (9.5f) 28 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Not firing at present. 12-race maiden who was laboured here last time and has plenty to prove back up in trip.
7	7 (7) (18/1 -50%) Bramble Jelly		18 18/1(-50%)																															(7) Bramble Jelly 18/1, Seventh of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft, 80/1) 28 days ago. Up in trip. Modest on the Flat, creditable on last Flat run. Not ruled out back in this sphere. Tailed off over hurdles last twice and has some questions to answer back on AW.
6	6 (6) (80/1 -142%) Tancredi		80 80/1(-142%)																															(6) Tancredi 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has work to do. Still unexposed but he has something to prove on this big step up in trip; headgear added.

HAWA JUMEIRAH benefited from his return at Kempton when scoring over C&D last Monday, with Starfighter back in third on that occasion. The four-year-old was making his second appearance on the all-weather and remains with the scope for a fair amount of improvement under a 5lb penalty. The aforementioned Starfighter is likely to enter calculations, while first-time cheekpieces and stepping up in distance looks an interesting move for Tancredi.

HAWA JUMEIRAH found improvement upped in trip when scoring over C&D a week ago and a penalty might not be enough to stop him following up at the possible expense of Starfighter, who was a place behind him last time. MIrabello Bay is not dismissed.

This can go to the lightly raced 4yo HAWA JUMEIRAH, who got off the mark with a comfortable success over C&D last Monday.

4	4 (4) (13/8 +54%) Thunder Song		1.625 13/8(+54%)																															(4) Thunder Song 13/8, 90,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Sluice. Dam, 10.3f winner. Appeals as a likely type on paper starting out for a powerful yard and he could be worth chancing before the benefit of market clues. Nice pedigree and not hard to see him making an impact on his debut.
5	5 (5) (3/1 +14%) Ze Do Asfalto		3 3/1(+14%)																															(5) Ze Do Asfalto 3/1, Twice-raced colt. Second of 13 in claimer (5/2) at this C&D 59 days ago. Runner up in a C&D claimer last month; more needed to win a maiden but can get involved.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +36%) After Love		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(6) After Love 9/2, Some promise when seventh of 13 in maiden (50/1) at this C&D on debut 89 days ago. Likely to improve. Mid-division in a C&D fillies' maiden in October; should show the benefit of that.
14	14 (14) (9/1 +10%) Sottsands		9 9/1(+10%)																															(14) Sottsands 9/1, €70,000 yearling, Sottsass filly. Dam, maiden (best at 6f), sister to useful winner up to 7f Rimth. Stable in good form. Beat subsequent three-time winner Sigh No More in a barrier trial here in July; player.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +25%) Men Of Honour		9 9/1(+25%)																															(2) Men Of Honour 9/1, Once-raced gelding. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 16/1) on debut. Off 155 days. Not much went right on his debut in a 6f Naas maiden in August when not beaten far.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -17%) Dowth		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) Dowth 14/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, 25/1). Off 129 days. Tongue strap back on. Couple of okay runs in 6f maidens last year, including here; needs this for a mark.
10	10 (10) (14/1 -75%) Lyra Constellation		14 14/1(-75%)																															(10) Lyra Constellation 14/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 12 in maiden (7/1) at this course (8f) 17 days ago. Showed no real progress on her second start here two weeks ago; drop in trip may suit.
9	9 (9) (14/1 -211%) Letters Of Love		14 14/1(-211%)																															(9) Letters Of Love 14/1, Calyx filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Elliptic. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Hebridean. Newcomer to note from leading yard. Looks the stable second string but should be worth watching for future reference.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -150%) Oiche Rua		50 50/1(-150%)																															(11) Oiche Rua 50/1, €50,000 yearling, Ghaiyyath filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 1¼m Qaader. Dam maiden (should have stayed 1m). Yard in good form. Newcomer from a good mostly middle-distance family; probably best watched.
16	16 (16) (100/1 0%) Heaven's On Fire		100 100/1(0%)																															(16) Heaven's On Fire 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 12 in maiden at this course (8f, 200/1) 17 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Failed to beat a single rival in two maidens; tried in a hood here; reserve.
3	3 (3) (100/1 -525%) Tall River		100 100/1(-525%)																															(3) Tall River 100/1, €44,000 2-y-o, Magna Grecia gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including 6f winner Dutch Mist and 1m winner Touch The Sound. Dam 6f winner. Wears tongue strap. Related to plenty of winners over all trips; tongue-tied for his debut; best watched.
12	12 (12) (125/1 -150%) Rushes To Riches		125 125/1(-150%)																															(12) Rushes To Riches 125/1, Once-raced filly. 150/1, ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f) on debut 38 days ago. Not beaten far in a 6f maiden here last month; much more needed though.
8	8 (8) (150/1 -355%) Innkeeper		150 150/1(-355%)																															(8) Innkeeper 150/1, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Polar Bear. Dam, maiden (best effort at 1¼m), closely related to useful 9f-12.2f winner Blue Rockies. Speed and stamina in her pedigree; best watched on debut.
1	1 (1) (200/1 -100%) Beaune		200 200/1(-100%)																															(1) Beaune 200/1, Once-raced colt. Hooded, last of 11 in maiden (80/1) at this course (8f) on debut 52 days ago, lost all chance at start. Last of 11 in a 1m maiden here last month; blinkers dispensed with but hard to fancy.
13	13 (13) (200/1 -203%) Shuyak		200 200/1(-203%)																															(13) Shuyak 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Tenth of 12 in maiden (200/1) at this course (8f) 17 days ago. Soundly beaten in two maidens over 7f and 1m here; needs this for a handicap mark.

ZE DO ASFALTO looks the best of those with form and may prove the pick. The Ardad colt chased home a decent yardstick in William F Browne in a claimer here in late November and is open to a bit more improvement on just his third career outing. Joseph O'Brien runs a couple of newcomers and it would be no surprise if they played big roles. Thunder Song was a 90,000gns yearling and the yard won a maiden first time out with his half-sister Sluice. Letters Of Love is a half-sister to the Listed-placed Elliptic.

Joseph O'Brien saddles a couple of interesting newcomers in THUNDER SONG and Letters of Love and they could be the pair to focus on in what looks a weak maiden. After Love offered something to work on over C&D 13 weeks ago and may prove best of those with experience.

Marginal preference is for SOTTSANDS, who made a nice impression when beating a good horse in a barrier trial here in July.

Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Expected to be bang there. 0-19 on AW but went close over C&D three starts ago; leading chance at the weights.
1	1 (1) (13/2 +19%) Back From Dubai		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(1) Back From Dubai 13/2, Modest gelding. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. First run since leaving Kevin Frost when third of 7 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f, 16/1) 13 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Sixth of 9 in minor event at this C&D (15/2) 23 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Lacking consistency; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear.
10	10 (10) (17/2 +23%) Where Is The Love		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(10) Where Is The Love 17/2, Seventh of 9 in handicap (22/1) at this course (12.2f) 21 days ago. Down in trip. Form has dipped but this switch to classified level could spark a turnaround.
7	7 (7) (10/1 -186%) Disquietude		10 10/1(-186%)																															(7) Disquietude 10/1, Modest filly. Very good third of 10 in minor event at Kempton (11f, 17/2) 19 days ago. Player. Improved form in classified events this year, solid second over C&D then third at Kempton.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -85%) Advindi		12 12/1(-85%)																															(6) Advindi 12/1, Modest filly. 28/1, creditable third of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f) 18 days ago. Ran well over 1m last time (first go beyond 7f); interesting upped further in trip.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -50%) Iftikhaar		12 12/1(-50%)																															(2) Iftikhaar 12/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Creditable sixth of 10 in minor event (15/2) at Kempton (11f) 19 days ago. Placed several times but remains a maiden (0-24) and his C&D form is poor.
5	5 (5) (22/1 -10%) Rivas Rob Roy		22 22/1(-10%)																															(5) Rivas Rob Roy 22/1, Poor gelding. C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 5 days ago. Placed over C&D on penultimate start; unreliable otherwise of late.
9	9 (9) (66/1 -65%) Rohilla		66 66/1(-65%)																															(9) Rohilla 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago, slowly away. Has the weakest form claims in this field.

DISQUIETUDE has appreciated the switch to classified company on her last couple of starts, with placed efforts here and at Kempton. The four-year-old drops back in trip which looks to be the right move and the daughter of Tamayuz gets the vote to shed the maiden tag. Lhebayeb has shown some competitive handicap form in recent months and is capable of being in the mix. Others to note are National Health and Advindi.

LHEBAYEB has a good chance on these terms if building on her last run. Back From Dubai offered something to work on starting out for this yard at Southwell 2 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Disquietude.

The most appealing contenders are DISQUIETUDE and National Health who both have respectable recent C&D form at this level.

Looks competitive on form. Showed improvement over C&D last time and could well build on that effort.

SPARTAN TIMES wasn't disgraced in finishing fifth on handicap debut over C&D a fortnight ago and, off a 1lb lower mark, the four-year-old appears to have been found an excellent opportunity to gain a first career success. Northstead Gardens has been running consistently well in recent months and looks to be a leading threat. Pop Noodle didn't have much luck at the start here earlier in the month and may be worth another chance.

NORTHSTEAD GARDENS has been competitive in better races than this so can make a winning start for a yard that is in decent form. The unexposed Spartan Times took a big step forward when fifth on her handicap bow over C&D 2 weeks ago and is feared most ahead of Enzos Angel, who is back over a more suitable trip.

Unexposed SPARTAN TIMES can build on his latest effort and emulate his dam by winning at this venue. Pop Noodle is second pick.

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.
