Apples Jane

3
3/1(-50%)
(2) Apples Jane 3/1, Improved for debut experience when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time. Effective at 2m, well bred and consistent in bumpers, and she may do better over hurdles in time.
Seven-race maiden but has shown enough ability to suggest she can have a big say.

11/2(+54%)
(6) Klassy Pearl 11/2, Outpaced and below form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Taunton last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and should do better yet, possibly over further.
Two-time point runner-up; also some promise over hurdles; place claims, perhaps at best.

12/1(+64%)
(9) Society Soldier 12/1, Green and made mistakes but showed minor promise on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Kelso last time. Off a long absence and may want further than 2m in time.
Returns from absence and may need further but she's not discounted each-way.

11/8(-106%)
(5) Coolkatie 11/8, Fell in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time when booked for runner up spot. Effective at 2m5f and should be able to find a modest maiden, having shown enough to suggest this level is within reach.
In second when falling at the final flight at Warwick and she's a leading player today.

Berwick Law

100
100/1(-52%)
(3) Berwick Law 100/1, Below par when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time. She looks in need of more experience and has yet to show her best form under rules.
Has contested one bumper and two novice hurdles and she's yet to make an impact.

Sagonige

2.75
11/4(+63%)
(8) Sagonige 11/4, Solid effort under a penalty when second, beaten 4 1/4l, in a mares' bumper at Musselburgh last time. Absent for a very lengthy period and may need this, though she could have more to offer over hurdles.
Promising in bumpers in 2023-24; absent since; contender if retaining that ability.

Royal Maggs

50/1(-100%)
(7) Royal Maggs 50/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when well beaten in a bumper at Newcastle last time. Hood is worn for the first time and, as a point winner, she may need further than 2m under rules.
2-3 in British points; well beaten in sole bumper but not ruled out e-w on hurdle debut.

300/1(-100%)
(1) Am I Bovvered 300/1, Poor again despite racing too freely when well beaten in a bumper here last time. Hood is worn for the first time after a short break, but she has yet to show any worthwhile form in bumpers and up against it on hurdle debut.
Well beaten in all three bumpers and she would be a shock winner on hurdle debut.

COOLKATIE was still in contention when falling at the final flight over 2m5f at Warwick and this could prove a suitable opportunity for some compensation. The six-year-old travelled with enough verve to suggest that she will cope with a return to 2m and edges the vote over Apples Jane. Gordon Elliott's mare arrives on the back of a respectable fifth at Clonmel and isn't taken lightly in this weaker affair. Klassy Pearl may fare best of the remainder.

Preference is for the Dan Skelton-trained COOLKATIE, who was running well in second when falling at the final flight at Warwick.

Regressive sprinter; wide draw to contend with and that won't help him settle.

THECOFFEEPODDOTCO has improved since returning from a break with a string of consistent efforts and this may be the day that Richard Hannon's filly gets her head in front for the first time. Gustav Graves didn't get the rub of the green when fourth at Wolverhampton last week and is respected along with Level Up, who finished third over C&D on his penultimate start.

This drop into Class 6 company could see BANG ON THE BELL return to winning ways. Thecoffeepoddotco is feared most.

(9) Toor Khov 7/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Navan on his latest run. Effective around 3m, but needs to show more now switching back to chasing.

Didn't show much over hurdles; from staying jumping family so worth a look on chase debut.

(3) Figurehead 50/1, Outclassed when finishing down the field on handicap debut in a handicap chase at Leopardstown most recently. Effective at 2m to 2m2f, but appears exposed now and others make greater appeal.
No wins in a varied 44-race career, although ran well in a couple of beginners' this term.

Winning hurdler for Gavin Cromwell in 2020; never a factor in 2 chase starts for this yard.

JOHN THE DIVA has been runner-up in a couple of similar events and wouldn't be winning out of turn now. The nine-year-old chased home Banter At The Bar at Punchestown last time, despite a bad mistake at the second last. He won twice over similar trips to this over hurdles, including breaking his maiden at this venue. Hello Jack comes here off the back of a solid enough placed effort in handicap company and looks an obvious danger. Cowper Hall made little impression before unseating on his chase debut at Tramore but is capable of better and stepping up in trip may help.

Course winner JOHN THE DIVA bumped into a big improver at Punchestown but was 30 lengths clear of the third. He can go one better

(6) Katie's Melody 5/1, Had every chance and ran to form, albeit comfortably held, in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Effective at 2m to 3m on soft and good ground, but she has yet to match her bumper form and is probably one for handicaps.

Questionable what she achieved when a well-beaten second at Fontwell.

Strong Run was highly tried in bumpers last season and broke her hurdling duck at the second attempt last month. The mare can improve to go close again, but she might struggle to contain COOLANNA. The daughter of Affinisea hit the woodwork in a couple of point-to-points before streaking clear on her Rules debut at Uttoxeter, a performance that suggests she might be useful. Katie's Melody can chase the pair home.

The penalised winners appeal most and COOLANNA is the one proven under these conditions. She looks a thorough stayer.

Diamond Geezer hasn't really kicked on as expected after his Perth triumph, for all that his defeats at Warwick and Lingfield have been respectable. Olly Murphy's charge may come up short once more, with SARACEN BEAU fancied to be the beneficiary. The seven-year-old found only a subsequent winner too strong on his chase bow at Bangor and, back under the tutelage of Nicky Richards, reverting to timber holds no fears. Eloi Du Puy is also of interest in first-time cheekpieces.

The vote goes to the unexposed SARACEN BEAU (nap), who was runner-up in a chase in October and is only 1lb higher back over hurdles.

Maskatto needed every yard of the trip to score over C&D at the start of the month and it wouldn't be a huge shock if Andrew Balding's colt wanted further already to be seen to best effect. With that in mind, preference is for SPACE INVASION. He got off the mark here at the third time of asking and an opening mark of 80 appears to be more than fair. Sovereign Wealth and Try Storm Cat complete the shortlist.

Recent C&D winners Space Invasion and MASKATTO appeal most. The selection remains capable of better at the trip.

MAGIC SADLER ran a cracker for Emily Costello at Clonmel three weeks ago and can go one better now. Pat Doyle's charge was in fine form in point-to-points towards the end of last year, with three wins. He made I Walked The Line work for his victory at Clonmel recently, with the pair pulling well clear. A similar effort may be enough now. Keep On Dreaming was a touch disappointing at Limerick when sent to post favourite. He's capable of better. Gale Force Jet has won two points recently and is another for the shortlist.

A prolific winner in points and highly dependable since a burst blood vessel mishap last season, MAGIC SADLER looks the part here

ATREIDES didn't get far when attempting to complete a hat-trick over C&D on Boxing Day, in a race which saw Mutley Crew fill the runner-up spot. Both have been given a month off since and are the pair the focus on, but Neil Mulholland's charge can put that blemish behind him to regain the winning thread. The Blueberry One makes his fencing bow following a lengthy absence but must not be underestimated.

Only two completed when MUTLEY CREW went close here on Boxing Day but it was still a good run and she's fine on heavy ground.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Grade 2 John Francome winner WENDIGO acquitted himself really well when third in the Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day and he should take all the beating in these calmer waters. Jamie Snowden's charge has enough class to concede 6lb to his rivals, with Maximilian rating as the biggest threat. The 10-year-old has posted two creditable efforts in defeat over fences and can keep the selection honest. Donny Boy might be out of his depth on his comeback.

Grade 2 novice chase winner WENDIGO drops back in grade and this is an excellent opportunity to get back on the scoresheet.

POKE THE BEAR won here over 7f last Saturday and the return to a mile will definitely play to his strengths. Despite carrying a 5lb penalty for that success, the four-year-old may prove a tough nut to crack. Celtic John won a classified event over C&D when last seen and commands plenty of respect, while Volendam appeals most of the remainder.

Poke The Bear and CELTIC JOHN (nap) arrive on the back of course wins and the latter, whose success has been franked, gets the nod.

French import CHARME DE FAUST could be another one for Willie Mullins here. The filly was runner-up on her sole outing in her native land at Auteuil last September. She was held up well off the pace then and survived a blunder at the last before chasing home easy winner Maskina. Dawn Coming chased home a smart sort in The Reverend at Cork earlier this month and is entitled to play a big part now. He had Mode Avion behind in fourth when third to Bertutea at Limerick over Christmas and may be able to confirm that form. Triumph Hurdle entry Ismahane is a debutante to note.

ISMAHANE produced strong Flat form in Europe and she could be tough to beat if she takes to this discipline

Overexuberance has hindered AGUELLID's finishing effort so far, though it hasn't stopped him from running well. This big-field scenario could suit him perfectly given a solid pace and that makes him of greater appeal than Pourquoi Pas Papa, who receives 12lb from the selection whilst being rated 2lb higher. Bright Legend has yet to fire since arriving from Ireland but he's shown enough to suggest a race of this nature is within his compass.

There's no depth to this maiden. POURQUOI PAS PAPA has been beaten by promising horses in his two British races.

Those carrying a 7lb penalty appear to have this between them and STEDE BONNET could be the pick. Gordon Elliott's charge was able to build on his hurdling introduction to finish second over C&D, before winning in fine style at Tramore. Given an official rating of 125 following that performance, he should be too strong for the likes of Sanilam, Irandando Has and Kelso winner Cavalier Du Luy.

Having shown strong form when winning a maiden hurdle at Tramore on New Year's Day, STEDE BONNET can follow up for Gordon Elliott.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Royal Jet has won two of his last three starts and is entitled to the utmost respect, as is Tilsworth Max, who defeated a pair of subsequent scorers over C&D. Sarabi is worth a second look, despite her lack of proven stamina, but a chance can be taken on HUNTLY LODGE. Amanda Perrett's charge took a big step forward to finish fourth over the mile here and is still lightly raced. The drop in trip could be beneficial and the application of first-time blinkers might eke out more too.

Keiran Burke looks to have a strong hand and VITALLINE is marginally preferred to stablemate Stacey Racey.

EL CAIROS is obviously going to be a very short price here as he bids for a confidence-boosting success. The No Risk At All gelding was a smart bumper performer last season, finishing fifth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and runner-up in a strong contest at Punchestown. He was set for an impressive start over timber at Leopardstown over Christmas when stumbling and falling after the last flight. Roc Dino couldn't lay a glove on impressive stablemate Mighty Park at Fairyhouse and may have to play second fiddle again. Tangara Bay has shown promise but will find easier opportunities.

A final flight mishap robbed EL CAIROS of an impressive victory at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting and he should make amends in style

BRADMAN has turned a corner on his last couple of starts, with a pair of victories at Fontwell. The five-year-old was a surprise winner on Boxing Day, but proved that effort to be no fluke last time and a 6lb rise might not be enough to stop him from landing the hat-trick. Broomfield Gale benefited from a sounder surface when scoring at Taunton so testing conditions are a concern. With that in mind, Inchagoill Lady might prove to be the biggest threat to the selection.

Top of the list is the progressive BRADMAN (nap) who completed a double in smooth style at Fontwell 18 days ago.

Shoeshine Boy put a Wetherby fall behind him to record a cosy success over C&D and a 4lb rise won't ask too much more of him, but he might be vulnerable to the unexposed CANUNCLECANI. The seven-year-old showed ability over a variety of trips in maiden/novice events but a switch to handicaps, coupled with the step up to three miles, might bring out the best in him. Others to note include Buzz Iceclear and Adveram.

Stamina looked a strong suit for CARISMATIC SOLDIER when he kept on for third over Wetherby's extended 2m5f in November.

There has been no stopping TOMMY'S PROMISE, whose winning streak started at Chelmsford last month. He's since added a hat-trick of C&D victories and although the latest was the narrowest of all, he is still fancied to defy a further 4lb rise. That hike now looks fair considering the runner-up has notched up a double in recent days. Alta Rica went close in a blanket finish over track and trip and is considered, while Bownder completes the shortlist.

The flourishing TOMMY'S PROMISE hasn't been harshly treated for his latest win and he can complete a five-timer.

WHERE ARE YOU NOW can gain compensation after a narrow defeat at Punchestown recently. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding just failed to peg back Be Fierce having made a mistake two from home. Stepping up half a mile in trip should suit. Jay Pee M looks nicely treated back over timber. The Valirann gelding was runner-up off a mark of 115 over fences when last seen at Cork in April last year, and he could be a big player if ready to roll on his return. Gaelic Des Chastys has been knocking on the door and is another that has to be respected.

A 4lb rise for a Punchestown second might not be enough to stop WHERE ARE YOU NOW (nap) from going one better

COLLECTORS ITEM struggled to land a blow on Chepstow ground faster than ideal in the Welsh National and he is better judged on his second there the time before. The nine-year-old boasts winning form here, having taken the Somerset National last January, and this kind of test should bring out the very best in him. My Silver Lining stays forever and is worth another chance after pulling up following a mistake at Lingfield last week. Others to consider are Jupiter Allen and Take Your Time.

The mare MY SILVER LINING was running into form again before her unfortunate incident in the Surrey National.

10yo who isn't the force of old but was runner-up off this reduced mark last month.

A confident vote goes to BALLYFORT, who has really got the hang of things over fences this term. On target at Kelso in October, he wasn't as good over the same C&D next time but he was back in the winning groove over this track and trip earlier in the month. Nick Alexander's charge is only 3lb higher and can brush aside class dropper Coup De Coeur en route to further success. Tommy Combats is also noted.

Having travelled smoothly into the straight over the extended 2m4f here last time, GREAT PEPPER earns the vote now back down in trip.

0-6 but has shown ability; blinkers left off today; vulnerable to anything progressive.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Although Chhota Saab hasn't been the most consistent, he has some fair form in the book and will put his experience to good use. A repeat of last month's third here should see him in the mix, but there are some intriguing newcomers on show. SILENT STRIKE, a 220,000-euro half-brother to Listed sprint winner Stormy Girl, tops the bill and market support would increase confidence. Fellow debutant Seven Of Hearts is another of interest.

This looks ripe for a newcomer and SEVEN OF HEARTS is tentatively preferred to Silent Strike and Bucklow Hill.

This looks like a nice opportunity for ELIODAM. The No Risk At All gelding didn't look the most straightforward when jumping the path here last month prior to crashing out at the fifth flight. He was sent to post favourite that day though and should possess the ability to make his presence felt at this level. The 104-rated Blow Wind Blow was soundly beaten into mid-division in a strong event at Naas last time but should have a part to play. Albus also faces an easier task, on just his third outing, and is another to consider.

Although not especially attractive at the likely odds ELIODAM could be in a different league to these rivals

Thunder Rock switches to the hunter chase sphere in a bid to regain some confidence having lost his way over hurdles. Despite winning twice in Listed company over fences at his best, his jumping was never the most assured and last year's winner MR GLASS gets the vote. The 10-year-old relished similar conditions 12 months ago and has every chance of making it back-to-back victories. Illico De Cotte and Pyleigh Court complete the shortlist.

A trappy hunter chase. The 10yo MR GLASS may repeat his win in this last year which was on similar ground.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

With many of these arriving from the pointing sphere, it looks best to heed the market signals. Dan Skelton's The Skecher makes appeal, as do stable companions Allfor and Finisk Pride, but the previous experience of KATAGAT might be crucial. The Diamond Boy gelding made a pleasing introduction at Wetherby and with the aid of a tongue-tie this time, he could take the necessary step forward.

Preference is for THE SKECHER, who pushed a subsequent bumper winner very close in a point in October. Finisk River is feared.

All Too Beautiful has proved a revelation since returning to the all-weather and she merits respect in her bid to complete a four-timer. However, a 5lb higher mark for her latest triumph over C&D could leave her vulnerable and it may be worth chancing INVINCIBLE SPEED. Mark Loughnane's inmate found himself with too much to do when fourth at Southwell and this smaller-field affair should suit. Porfin completes the shortlist.

A small field but still a trappy affair. PORFIN steps up in class but may be up to the task. Mart may prove best of the rest.

KING IN LOVE ran with real credit in a competitive event at Leopardstown over Christmas and is fancied to land the spoils today. Sean Aherne's charge stayed on well into third that day and stepping up a further two furlongs looks like it should be right up his street. Sarah Beara was a shade unlucky when fifth at Limerick last time and she could be dangerous from just 1lb higher. A Nod To Getaway reverts back to hurdles from a 5lb lower mark and is another for the shortlist.

A chance is taken on PEBBLE BLEU, who is only 4lb higher than when landing a gamble at Tramore on her penultimate run

SECRET DES LUNE made a promising start to her career when runner-up at Plumpton and, in a contest that doesn't appear to have much depth on paper, Ben Clarke's mare has a fine opportunity to go one better. Midnight Doyen finished third behind a useful type of Dan Skelton's at Warwick on New Year's Eve. She enters calculations, while any market support for Sparkling Water would be noteworthy.

This doesn't look a strong bumper. SECRET DES LUNE ran perfectly well for a debutante at Plumpton.

He's An Angel just got the better of MASTER DANDY when the pair met at Wolverhampton on Monday but the latter is weighted to reverse the form being 3lb better off on this occasion. Michael Keady's gelding was carrying a 5lb penalty for scoring at the same venue the week before and is turned out quickly before the handicapper has another say. Others for the shortlist include Desdemona and Second Collection.

He's An Angel (second choice) got up late to deny MASTER DANDY three days ago but the latter is preferred over this shorter trip.

SECRET HISTORY hit the frame on both starts as a juvenile at Newbury and York. She shaped well on each occasion, most notably on her latest run despite being hampered at a crucial point, and the drop to 6f gives her an excellent opportunity to shed the maiden tag. Welcome Retreat is capable of being in the mix on her return to action, while Tabby Kat is respected after her third at Southwell earlier in the month.

Seven Fires is second choice behind SECRET HISTORY who showed plenty in two starts last year and may be suited by the drop to 6f.

DUBAI MAGIC has appreciated the drop into classified events since the beginning of the year, with a runner-up effort at Wolverhampton followed by a victory over C&D. The four-year-old is expected to confirm the placings with Poetic Jack, who was three-quarters of a length behind in second and appears likely to be competitive once again. Under Curfew is another with valid claims based on recent evidence and completes the shortlist alongside Bishop's Glory.

Dubai Magic beat POETIC JACK over C&D three weeks ago but the latter is selected to reverse those placings.

JUSTCALLMEPETE had been in a rich vein of form prior to a below-par effort at Lingfield last time out. However, with the majority of his rivals arriving with something to prove, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the three-time C&D winner bounced back to winning ways. Aberama Gold is likely to enter the reckoning after his recent third at Newcastle, while Stanley Spencer and Twilight Fun might fare best of the remainder.

Justcallmepete is second choice behind KNEBWORTH who returns to the AW off a handy mark having been off since October.

Not beaten far on his last two novice runs but the form may not be solid; handicap debut.

(2) Edergole's Gift 6/1, Ran to form in a new headgear combination when beaten a short-head off a 1lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Effective over 6/7f and has a chance if building on that latest effort.
C&D winner who went close at Lingfield last time; one to consider.

The introduction of cheekpieces, which are left off today, saw EDERGOLE'S GIFT return to form with a narrow second at Lingfield earlier this month and she makes grand appeal. Ryan Kavanagh's 5lb claim could prove crucial in her bid to go one better and she gets the nod over My Boy Harry. The Jim & Suzi Best-trained gelding has been in good heart of late and he's forecast to be in the mix once more, along with Thomas Equinas.

A tricky handicap in which THOMAS EQUINAS is marginally preferred to Edergole's Gift and My Boy Harry.

Three-time winner but he's been struggling in recent starts; others preferred.

Having posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Wolverhampton in September, Rogue Justice must enter calculations on this reappearance. The four-year-old has the potental to find further improvement now sent over two miles and isn't taken lightly, but TARANJERINE is slightly more compelling. Jim Boyle's charge was denied a clear run at a crucial stage when finishing a narrow second at Lingfield earlier this month and compensation may await. Shibuya Song is also worth a second look in a refitted visor.

Course winner TARANJERINE (nap) went close at Lingfield last time and is selected to go one better, with Sullivan Bay next best.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

The application of first-time blinkers appeared to transform recent C&D winner LEXINGTON JET and another big run looks likely. The four-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that he can overcome a 5lb rise and he edges the verdict over Gennadius. Richard Hannon's colt opened his account impressively at the 13th time of asking in a C&D maiden latest and should remain competitive back in a handicap. H Key Lails and Luminous Warrior are others to consider.

Lexington Jet could have more to offer over this trip but LUMINOUS WARRIOR is taken to follow up last month's Kempton win.

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.
