4	4 (4) (15/8 +53%) Master Of My Fate		1.875 15/8(+53%)																															(4) Master Of My Fate 15/8, Latest win at Southwell in December. Ran creditably enough attempting to follow up from 4 lb higher mark when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 2/1) 13 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Back in better form on Tapeta last month; ran well in sole attempt here.
7	7 (7) (7/2 +42%) Gogo Yubari		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(7) Gogo Yubari 7/2, C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs last year. 13/2, wasted no time getting back on track when fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 4 days ago. Can give another good account. On last winning mark and has a very good record (1211) at this course; strong claims.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +8%) Nogo's Dream		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(3) Nogo's Dream 11/2, Runner-up 6 starts in a row this year but remains with just a maiden win to his name. Well-backed 7/2, shaped better than the bare result when fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) when last seen 3 months ago. Cheekpieces back on. Looks well capable of winning off current mark but he's a frustrating sort.
1	1 (1) (10/1 -54%) Rainyniteingeorgia		10 10/1(-54%)																															(1) Rainyniteingeorgia 10/1, 66/1 and had breathing operation, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago, suited by way race developed to lead close home. Carries penalty but should be in the mix with a repeat. Badly in under a penalty but still warrants respect, being 2-2 at Lingfield.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +60%) Level Up		10 10/1(+60%)																															(5) Level Up 10/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Run best excused when eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 33/1) 13 days ago, caught deep from poor draw. Won off 4lb higher over C&D last January; far from consistent since October.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -300%) Harb		11 11/1(-300%)																															(6) Harb 11/1, 4/1, won 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) just over 6 weeks ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race to lead near line. Will remain competitive granted a strong pace. Got up in the final strides over C&D last time; remains well treated on peak form.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -56%) Diamond Dreamer		14 14/1(-56%)																															(2) Diamond Dreamer 14/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 10 runs last year. 18/1, length fifth of 7 to Rainyniteingeorgia in handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago, keeping on when short of room final 100 yds. Suited by Lingfield; ties in with Rainyniteingeorgia on C&D running last time.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -155%) Pop Dancer		28 28/1(-155%)																															(8) Pop Dancer 28/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, run best excused when ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) just under 3 weeks ago, racing wide. Should fare better from inside stall. Form dipped the last twice, taking 2024 score to 0-11; others preferred.

A wind procedure worked the oracle for recent 66-1 C&D winner Rainyniteingeorgia and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid from Alice Haynes' filly. However, HARB looks a more solid proposition after his track-and-trip triumph in November and a 2lb rise may prove to be lenient. Nogo's Dream hasn't proved the easiest to win with, but the reapplication of cheekpieces could enable an improved bid.

Cases can be made for most of these but the most persuasive is for MASTER OF MY FATE, who doubled his tally at Southwell last month and ran creditably attempting to follow up from 4 lb higher at Wolverhampton 8 days later. Harb came late to resume winning ways over C&D just over 6 weeks ago, so he may emerge as the main danger, with Gogo Yubari and recent big-priced C&D scorer Rainyniteingeorgia taken to fight out minor honours.

Being a nicely treated contender who has an excellent record at this course, GOGO YUBARI (nap) is preferred. Harb is second choice.

4	4 (4) (11/8 -15%) Malicash		1.375 11/8(-15%)																															(4) Malicash 11/8, Fair form in bumpers for Ewan Whillans and made a positive start over hurdles for new connections when second of 10 at Carlisle (17f, soft) in October. Below that level both starts since but still sets a clear standard. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Good second on hurdle debut; safely held twice since but still considered here.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +27%) Clearisthewater		4 4/1(+27%)																															(1) Clearisthewater 4/1, Winning Irish pointer. No great shakes in bumpers but showed an aptitude for hurdling when second in 12-runner novice hurdle at Plumpton (15.8f) last month. Upped markedly in trip. Just a modest second on hurdle debut (2m) but open to improvement over 3m.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +27%) High Dancer		4 4/1(+27%)																															(3) High Dancer 4/1, Off the mark in Irish points at third attempt in May and sound start to hurdles career when third of 10 at Kelso in October. Not in same form at Wetherby subsequently but it remains early days. Upped markedly in trip. Irish point winner; placed in 2m hurdle in October; hiked up in trip today.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +55%) Reflection Of You		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(5) Reflection Of You 9/2, Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 2023) and followed up in 6-runner bumper here first time out under Rules in April. Hasn't come close to that form in 2 starts over hurdles, though. Weakened into modest third in 2m5f Kelso mares' race last month; improvement needed here.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -60%) Flawless Clarity		8 8/1(-60%)																															(2) Flawless Clarity 8/1, £30,000 5-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Drumacoo. Runner-up completed start in Irish points in April and needs a market check now switching to Rules. Second to a recent hurdle winner in an Irish point in April; bought for £30,000.

This appeals as a good opportunity for MALICASH to open his account. Donald McCain's unexposed hurdler has shown signs of ability in defeat and, sporting a tongue-tie on his first attempt at this trip, he looks the one to be with in a very a winnable affair. Point-to-point winner Clearisthewater was last seen finishing a good second at long odds over 2m at Plumpton recently and another prominent showing appears likely. High Dancer rates the pick of the remainder.

MALICASH sets a clear standard on his hurdling debut form and should prove hard to beat if returning to anywhere near that level in a first-time tongue strap. Flawless Clarity finished runner-up on his completed start in Irish points and could be the one to give the selection most to think about.

After keeping on for second over 2m on his hurdling debut CLEARISTHEWATER has travelled a long way to tackle 3m here.

4	4 (4) (10/3 +0%) Therapist		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(4) Therapist 10/3, Respectable third of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 17/2) 30 days ago. Not taken lightly back up in trip. Kept on strongly for third in valuable 1m2f fillies' race here last month; respected.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +33%) Knockbrex		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Knockbrex 4/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 22 days ago. Ended 2024 with three good runs over 1m2f, and this return to 1m4f ought to suit.
3	3 (3) (5/1 -25%) Crystal Mariner		5 5/1(-25%)																															(3) Crystal Mariner 5/1, 15/2, good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 16 days ago, clear of rest. Shortlist material. Built upon promising stable debut when clear second at Kempton last month; shortlisted.
7	7 (7) (13/2 +19%) Raintown		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(7) Raintown 13/2, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win here in September. 8/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 4 days ago. Placed at Wolverhampton on Monday and sure to be suited by return to this C&D.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +13%) Gallant Lion		7 7/1(+13%)																															(6) Gallant Lion 7/1, 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Not dismissed back down in class. Down the field on first two stable starts; considered only if lively in the betting.
9	9 (9) (7/1 +13%) Hebridean Nomad		7 7/1(+13%)																															(9) Hebridean Nomad 7/1, Thrice-raced winner. 14/1, fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 31 days ago. Returned from long layoff with promising fourth here (1m2f) on last month's handicap debut.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +40%) Damascus Steel		12 12/1(+40%)																															(5) Damascus Steel 12/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in October. 66/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Has work to do. Will find this easier than latest assignment but current mark demands a career-best run.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -133%) True Courage		28 28/1(-133%)																															(1) True Courage 28/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 6/1) 29 days ago, slowly away. Didn't fire last time but accustomed to stronger races than this; player if back on song.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -211%) Early Morning Dew		28 28/1(-211%)																															(8) Early Morning Dew 28/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 71 days ago, slowly away. Arguably in career-best form when last seen in October; back from ten-week break.

Dropping back down in trip appears to be an interesting move for DAMASCUS STEEL, who has a good record over this sort of distance and can make the most of a competitive rating. Early Morning Dew was reliable to follow last year and needs to be taken seriously. The Nicky Henderson-trained Therapist reverts to the Flat on a winnable mark and also commands respect.

CRYSTAL MARINER has made a positive start for this yard, pulling clear of the rest when beaten only by a thriving sort at Kempton last time, and he's taken to go one better. Therapist ran well back on the Flat when third here last month and is feared returned to a more suitable trip, with Gallant Lion another to consider back down in class.

The one with most potential is HEBRIDEAN NOMAD, who was returning from a long absence when fourth on last month's handicap debut.

1	1 (1) (7/4 +0%) Inox Allen		1.75 7/4(+0%)																															(1) Inox Allen 7/4, Scored twice in a light campaign over hurdles last term. Off 8 months and resumed with a promising third of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) on his debut over fences 40 days ago, closing up late. Can take a sizeable step forward now. Interesting. Kept on for third in stronger race than this on seasonal/chase debut; still unexposed.
2	2 (2) (5/2 +9%) Roger Pol		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(2) Roger Pol 5/2, Went in at the first attempt over fences at Southwell in October and backed it up with a good staying-on third of 5 in handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good) 34 days ago. Merits serious consideration back up in trip. Won over 2m4f on chasing debut in October and looks ready for a crack at a staying trip.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +10%) Cardamon Hill		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(5) Cardamon Hill 9/2, C&D winner in November and comes here on the back of a solid third of 6 in handicap chase here (20.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Enters calculations off an unchanged mark. Triple chase winner this season (once over C&D) and further progress remains possible.
4	4 (4) (8/1 +6%) Leading Force		8 8/1(+6%)																															(4) Leading Force 8/1, Off 4 months/had wind op before a creditable fourth of 6 in handicap chase here (20.3f, good to soft) 25 days ago. This fair 2m5f chase scorer is a likely player eased 2 lb with that run under his belt. 2m5f winner in May and returned from break with satsfactory 2m4f run here last month.

Hurdles winner INOX ALLEN made a pleasing start to life over fences when finishing a staying-on third over 3m in a warm Uttoxeter handicap chase on his seasonal reappearance and, with the promise of improvement to come, it would be no surprise if he were to land the spoils. Last seen finishing third over 2m3f, this step up in trip should help Roger Pol and he looks the main danger to the selection for the in-form Jamie Snowden team. Cardamon Hill is respected most out of the remainder.

Lucinda Russell's INOX ALLEN caught the eye on his chasing bow when a patiently-ridden third at Uttoxeter so looks the way to go here. Roger Pol has made a good start to life over fences too and rates a big danger though, with Leading Force also weighted to have a say in an interesting contest.

Sedgefield winner LEADING FORCE may have needed last month's reappearance run and might be allowed an uncontested lead today.

3	3 (3) (7/4 +71%) Tadreeb		1.75 7/4(+71%)																															(3) Tadreeb 7/4, Last win over C&D back in March 2022. In first-time cheekpieces, only sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 18/1) in September. However, he's dropped in grade on first run since leaving Michael Attwater. Regressed last year but may have been revitalised by a change of scenery.
1	1 (1) (5/2 -82%) Havana Sky		2.5 5/2(-82%)																															(1) Havana Sky 5/2, Course winner. Six wins from 12 runs last year, completing the 5-timer in good style in 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 15/8) 7 days ago. Penalty might not be enough to prevent another victory. Very progressive 4yo who ended 2024 with five consecutive 6f wins; commands respect.
4	4 (4) (4/1 -14%) Charlie Mason		4 4/1(-14%)																															(4) Charlie Mason 4/1, Twelve runs since last win but ended 2024 in good form, caught too far back when third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 16 days ago. Enter calculations. Placed twice over 7f when cheekpieces were added last month; probably in the mix again.
2	2 (2) (9/2 -29%) Lord Rapscallion		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(2) Lord Rapscallion 9/2, Without a win since May 2023. Wasn't quite in same form as previous outing when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/4) 3 weeks ago, but he could be in the mix from his career-low mark. Only fourth when favourite last time but looked a shade unlucky off this mark two runs ago.
6	6 (6) (25/1 0%) Crow's Nest		25 25/1(0%)																															(6) Crow's Nest 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Ended last year with a lesser effort when eleventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights but more needed to take advantage. 40-1 fourth over C&D last month but quickly back in the doldrums on latest outing.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -12%) Lahina Bay		28 28/1(-12%)																															(8) Lahina Bay 28/1, Promise on penultimate start, but was caught wide from poor draw when last of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 28/1) 16 days ago. Has dropped back down to her last winning mark. Held her form well after 6f turf win in summer but ended 2024 with a disappointing run.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -230%) The Smiling Wolf		66 66/1(-230%)																															(7) The Smiling Wolf 66/1, Struggled for form last year, seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 40/1) 16 days ago. However, he lurks on a dangerous mark as he makes only fourth start for current yard. Safely held on first three starts for John Butler but still needs a check in the betting.
5	5 (5) (100/1 -400%) Juan Solo		100 100/1(-400%)																															(5) Juan Solo 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Back on turf after 4 months off, probably unsuited by conditions when last of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 28/1) in May. Has been absent for another 8 months since, though. Still unexposed but has been off since his 73l defeat on heavy turf in May.

Havana Sky rounded out a five-timer with a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last week and is a must for the shortlist given he is 2lb well-in. However, his previous attempts over 7f were less inspiring and with that in mind, dual C&D winner TADREEB could be worth chancing from a whopping 22lb below his last winning mark. Lord Rapscallion is another viable alternative on these terms.

HAVANA SKY has been thriving of late, getting the better of another penalised runner when scoring at Wolverhampton a week ago, and he can go on to land the 6-timer in his current mood. Charlie Mason has made the frame on his last 5 starts and could be the main danger, with dual C&D winner Tadreeb also considered on stable debut.

The most obvious answer is thriving 4yo HAVANA SKY, who ended 2024 with five wins over 6f and is probably still ahead of the game.

7	7 (7) (9/4 +25%) Summergrounds		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(7) Summergrounds 9/4, Winner at Market Rasen in May and has held his form well since, finishing runner-up at Ayr (19.5f) on most recent outing. Likely to give another good account. Placed four consecutive times since breakthrough win in May and enters calculations.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +11%) Park Annonciade		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) Park Annonciade 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler who was in the process of running well (in second at the time) when falling 3 out in handicap chase at Doncaster (19f) 3 weeks ago. Never on terms at Ayr on Thursday and back hurdling now. On good mark over hurdles but was safely held in small-field chase yesterday.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +10%) Hostile Hotelier		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(6) Hostile Hotelier 9/2, Ran only respectably in a first-time visor when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 15 days ago, looking short of speed. Largely consistent 7yo won ran well on slower-than-ideal ground last month.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +9%) Kilbrainy		5 5/1(+9%)																															(5) Kilbrainy 5/1, Capitalised on a falling mark at Carlisle in October and ran at least as well in defeat when fourth at Ayr (20.4f, good to soft) the following month. In good form in the autumn but current mark probably demands a career-best performance.
3	3 (3) (6/1 -33%) Klitschko		6 6/1(-33%)																															(3) Klitschko 6/1, Not straightforward but ran much better than for a while in a first-time tongue strap when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good) last week, left poorly placed. Can't be dismissed. Flopped on stable debut but, after a wind op, fared better when fourth on Saturday.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -33%) Rory The Cat		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) Rory The Cat 16/1, Dual winner of juvenile hurdles here last winter and added to his tally on the Flat returned to this venue in August. However, ran below form back in this sphere at Wetherby last month and improvement needed now stepping up in trip. Dual 1m7f hurdle winner; stays well on the Flat, so looks interesting over this new trip.

SUMMERGROUNDS has been running well so far this season and arrives here on the back of a second over 2m3f at Ayr in November. A 2lb rise and a 51-day break are slight concerns, but the nine-year-old still tops the shortlist. Kilbrainy could prove to be the main threat on the back of a couple of decent efforts, while Hostile Hotelier looks next best.

SUMMERGROUNDS has held his form well this season and is taken to notch a second career win. Klitschko and Park Annonciade are feared most.

This can go to Flat stayer RORY THE CAT (nap), who won twice over hurdles here last season and and ought to be suited by this new trip.

Blinkers back on. Well handicapped on his best form last year and needs checking in market back from a break.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -60%) Sonmarg		16 16/1(-60%)																															(4) Sonmarg 16/1, First run since leaving S. P. C. Woods when last of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 20/1) 16 days ago. Just one win from 17 starts and he struggled on recent stable debut; down the list.
1	1 (1) (20/1 -25%) Sedgemoor		20 20/1(-25%)																															(1) Sedgemoor 20/1, Last of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has lost his way and needs a tongue-tie to make a big difference back at this trip.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -233%) Mount Mogan		40 40/1(-233%)																															(8) Mount Mogan 40/1, C&D winner. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (AW) 31 days ago. Last success was 14 months ago and well held on Polytrack in last two runs.

Mount Mogan is notably well handicapped off 5lb lower than a C&D win 14 months ago, while Sedgemoor, in a first-time tongue-tie, and Star Pupil, who also tries new headgear, are potential improvers to consider. However, OVERNIGHT OATS, who has won four of his last five starts, is worth forgiving his latest effort given he was forced to race wide and didn't get a clear run over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. Reverting to 7f and this venue can prove highly beneficial for James Owen's gelding today.

OVERNIGHT OATS can quickly resume winning ways in a weak event. The drop back in trip in first-time blinkers looks an interesting move for Star Pupil and he's feared most.

5yo OVERNIGHT OATS had a wide trip in his bid for a five-timer on Boxing Day and he can get back on the scoresheet here.

4	4 (4) (15/8 +25%) Heart Above		1.875 15/8(+25%)																															(4) Heart Above 15/8, Opened hurdles account in a 12-runner handicap at Perth (2m, soft) in September before a solid second at Kelso. Added to his tally over this C&D at the end of November and while a shade more is needed up 5 lb, he looks a big player in current form. Struck form in the autumn, winning twice, and is not yet fully exposed; respected.
1	1 (1) (9/2 -29%) Sea Legend		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(1) Sea Legend 9/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) and showed an aptitude for hurdling when fourth on debut in this sphere Sedgefield in October. Understandably put in his place by Wise Owl (winner again since) following a wind op over C&D next time and cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap bow. Useful Flat racer who has shown promise in maiden hurdles; can improve in handicaps.
5	5 (5) (6/1 -20%) Game Management		6 6/1(-20%)																															(5) Game Management 6/1, Flat winner for Kevin Ryan who made a successful start over hurdles for new yard when seeing off 6 rivals at Catterick in November. Didn't do much wrong when third under a penalty over the same C&D since (the runner-up won next time) and he may have more to offer on handicap debut in this sphere. Won juvenile hurdle at Catterick in November and placed there since; handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +33%) La Quarite		8 8/1(+33%)																															(7) La Quarite 8/1, Much-improved in the first-time hood when a neck second to Bashful over C&D last February. Has failed to reproduce that level of since, though, and probably worth taking on, for all that he has edged down to an attractive mark. Keen-going front-runner; faded into sixth on first three starts for current stable.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -14%) Bashful		8 8/1(-14%)																															(2) Bashful 8/1, Winner of back-to-back C&D handicaps last February (the latest off 1 lb lower). Subsequently struggled on the Flat and little impact in 3 starts since returned to this sphere in October but he's dangerous to discount having slipped back down the weights and given that he's 2-2 over this C&D. Dual C&D winner in early part of last year and back on a good mark now.
6	6 (6) (10/1 +9%) Skiddaw		10 10/1(+9%)																															(6) Skiddaw 10/1, Signs of ability in maiden hurdles last term and bettered previous handicap efforts when fifth in the 10-runner C&D contest won by Heart Above. Finished 8 lengths behind that rival and now 7 lb better off, so entitled to close the gap, but others preferred for win purposes all the same. 0-6 over hurdles but his C&D fifth in November was quite encouraging.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +0%) Breadalbane Lass		16 16/1(+0%)																															(8) Breadalbane Lass 16/1, Telescope filly who showed ability when sixth in a Newcastle bumper in December but no impact as yet over hurdles. Entirely possible that she'll be seen in a better light now handicapping and worth a peek in the betting. Showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden/novice hurdles; handicap debut.
10	10 (10) (20/1 +39%) Don't Look Back		20 20/1(+39%)																															(10) Don't Look Back 20/1, Winner of just one of his 13 starts on the Flat and took hurdles record to 0-19 when sixth of 19 to Heart Above over C&D last time. Looks vulnerable once more. Didn't run badly over C&D in November but remains a difficult horse to enthuse over.

HEART ABOVE has won two of his last three starts and a 5lb rise for the most recent of those wins, which came over C&D in November, may not be enough to stop him in this company. Game Management remains unexposed and an opening mark of 100 may underestimate the four-year-old, while Sea Legend edges out Milajess to be the pick of the remainder.

The one who appeals most is GAME MANAGEMENT, who followed his winning hurdles debut at Catterick with an arguably even better effort under a penalty at the same course next time. The 4-y-o makes his handicap debut in this sphere off what looks a workable mark. Bashful may well return to form back at this venue and, if so, he will be a threat off a mark just 1 lb higher than for the second of his two C&D wins last winter. The in-form Heart Above and Sea Legend are others to consider.

In view of his Flat ability, SEA LEGEND could be dangerous in this grade of handicap. Heart Above is second choice.

10	10 (10) (9/4 +44%) Etretat		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(10) Etretat 9/4, Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. 11/2, good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago, conceding first run. Remains of interest. Ran creditably on Monday; consistent sort who again has place possibilities.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +56%) Spectacular Style		4 4/1(+56%)																															(8) Spectacular Style 4/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 4/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Below best in 2024 but has a good chance granted a return to his 2023 form.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +72%) Tribal Wisdom		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(5) Tribal Wisdom 9/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (AW) 31 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has remained in form since October win; Ryan Kavanagh's 7lb claim is a help; solid.
7	7 (7) (6/1 +25%) Detroit Lion		6 6/1(+25%)																															(7) Detroit Lion 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Enters calculations. Has raced only four times and may be capable of progress; one to consider.
4	4 (4) (17/2 -21%) Rey De La Batalla		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(4) Rey De La Batalla 17/2, Course winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 40/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Gelded prior to shaping well over 1m here last time; stamina to prove over 1m2f.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +20%) Imperial Fighter		16 16/1(+20%)																															(6) Imperial Fighter 16/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. 0-20 since debut win and has largely unconvincing form for current stable.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -122%) Calanthe		20 20/1(-122%)																															(9) Calanthe 20/1, Course winner. Winner here in September. Ninth of 11 in juvenile hurdle (66/1) at Catterick (15.7f, good) on NH debut 17 days ago. Up in trip. Fair on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Successful in sole Lingfield run; fighting chance provided he stays new trip.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -120%) Joycean Way		22 22/1(-120%)																															(3) Joycean Way 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/8, second of 8 in novice at this course (7f, AW), unsuited by drop in trip. Off 14 months/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Roger Varian. Makes handicap debut. Steady improvement in three races in autumn 2023 for Roger Varian; interesting.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -56%) Gordon Grey		25 25/1(-56%)																															(2) Gordon Grey 25/1, Latest win at Epsom in July. 11/4, second of 6 in novice hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Back down in trip. Fairly useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Needs a career best to open his AW account; both turf wins off lower marks.
11	11 (11) (25/1 -56%) Stipulation		25 25/1(-56%)																															(11) Stipulation 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, very good fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago. Must improve again. Showed clear improvement the last twice; could take another step forward.

The winner of two her last three outings, SILVER NIGHTFALL returned the emphatic winner over 1m3f at Kempton last time. She beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and is taken to defy a 4lb rise on the strength of that form. Rey De La Batalla is of interest stepping up in distance after a creditable fourth over a mile here, while the unexposed Detroit Lion looks a likely improver for the Richard Hannon team.

SILVER NIGHTFALL continues to go from strength to strength for this yard and produced a career best to resume winning ways in comfortable fashion from a subsequent winner at Kempton last month and a 4 lb rise may underestimate her. Detroit Lion and Etretat both shaped better than the bare result last time and they head the dangers.

Handicap debutant JOYCEAN WAY looks interesting on his belated return to action. Silver Nightfall is second pick.

3	3 (3) (2/1 +33%) Chapel Green		2 2/1(+33%)																															(3) Chapel Green 2/1, Back down in grade and ridden by Alan Doyle, doubled his tally for the season when scoring at this C&D (good to soft) in November. However, his form hasn't been the most consistent, so task is now to build on his latest effort. Clearcut C&D winner in November and now 3-10 over fences; one to consider.
5	5 (5) (9/2 -50%) Thistle Ask		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(5) Thistle Ask 9/2, Improved form when winning maiden hurdle at Ayr in March 2023. After 20-month absence (had wind op), shaped as if retaining plenty of ability when runner-up back at Ayr on chasing debut in October. Enters calculations. Back from long absence with clear second on chase/handicap debut in October; big player.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -25%) Mint Gold		5 5/1(-25%)																															(2) Mint Gold 5/1, Made light of a lengthy absence when successful over C&D back in November 2023. Ran well on this season's reappearance, before respectable fourth of 5 at Sandown 28 days ago. Merits consideration returned to this venue. Dual C&D winner; has developed a tendency to raze lazily and comes with risk attached.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -25%) Chase A Fortune		5 5/1(-25%)																															(6) Chase A Fortune 5/1, Made a winning chase debut at Catterick in February last year and back on track after 4 months off when runner-up at Sedgefield in October. Not in the same form when fourth of 6 at Kelso last time, but he could make a bold bid with cheekpieces added. Back from break with two pretty good efforts in the autumn; cheekpieces added today.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +0%) Fostered Phil		6 6/1(+0%)																															(8) Fostered Phil 6/1, Returned from a long absence to reach the frame in a trio of handicap hurdles in 2022/23. Continued in good heart when runner-up at Perth on chasing debut in May 2023 and he's not ruled out given his good record fresh (has had another breathing operation). Close second on chasing debut in May 2023 but not seen again since.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +29%) Lively Citizen		10 10/1(+29%)																															(4) Lively Citizen 10/1, Confirmed previous promise when winning his first race over hurdles for 2 years at Ffos Las in March last season. Below form both starts during the current campaign, so others more persuasive despite his lower mark back over fences. In front when coming to grief after penultimate fence in this race last year; a possible.
1	1 (1) (20/1 +39%) Gua Du Large		20 20/1(+39%)																															(1) Gua Du Large 20/1, Useful at his best in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead but form has gone the wrong way this season, making second start for current yard when pulled up at Kelso on his latest outing. Dropped in grade but has enough to prove at present. Ex-Irish 9yo who struggled on his first two starts for Mike Smith.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +39%) Captain Ivan		20 20/1(+39%)																															(7) Captain Ivan 20/1, Won back-to-back handicap chases in June 2023 when trained by L J Morgan, but after 16 months off he hasn't offered much in 2 starts for current trainer this season, well-beaten fifth of 9 at Doncaster 20 days ago. Soundly beaten on both starts for new stable and has done all his winning on good ground.

James Ewart trained last year's winner of this race and he runs two today, with THISTLE ASK boasting much stronger claims than stablemate Fostered Phil. The former was having his first start over fences when finishing second at Ayr and he can go close if building on that promising effort. C&D winner Mint Gold faced a tougher assignment at Sandown last time and the veteran should fare better in this lower grade, while stable companion Chapel Green scored over this track and trip off 6lb lower in November and could go well again.

Having made most on his chasing debut last season, CHASE A FORTUNE produced a good effort when runner-up at Sedgefield in October and he is taken to bounce back from a lesser run last time with cheekpieces applied. He can see off the challenge of Thistle Ask, who made an encouraging seasonal/chase debut, while Mint Gold could also go well back at this C&D.

Second to the odds-on favourite on his chasing debut, THISTLE ASK is selected in the hope he can dominate off the same mark here.

Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Eleanora Duse out of useful 1¼m winner Drama Class. 12/1, seventh of 12 in novice at Newbury (8f, heavy) on debut 70 days ago. Up in trip. Heavy ground possibly wasn't ideal at Newbury; gelded since; should do better.
10	10 (10) (11/1 -120%) Queen Of Mercia		11 11/1(-120%)																															(10) Queen Of Mercia 11/1, Golden Horn filly. Half-sister to useful 1½m-1¾m winner Pappano. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner who stayed 11.5f out of smart 1¼m-1½m winner Gertrude Bell. One to note. Golden Horn filly who is from a family that has served her connections well; interesting.

6	6 (6) (50/1 -25%) Navalanche		50 50/1(-25%)																															(6) Navalanche 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in maiden (100/1) at this C&D (AW) 43 days ago. Ties in closely with Secret Force on C&D running last time and could go well.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -164%) Ray Gun		66 66/1(-164%)																															(7) Ray Gun 66/1, $75,000 yearling, €135,000 2-y-o, Gun Runner colt.

SECRET FORCE left himself with plenty to do after missing the break at Kempton on his racecourse debut. The son of Frankel failed to threaten that day, but finished with a late flourish and Charlie Appleby's inmate will know more here. Boatswain cost 240,000gns as a yearling and is worth closely monitoring on debut with his yard in such good form, while both Queen Of Mercia and Broker Charlie represent powerful teams and are other newcomers to note.

The well-bred SECRET FORCE offered enough on his debut over C&D to suggest he can win a novice. There are some interesting newcomers in opposition, namely Boatswain, Broker Charlie and Queen of Mercia.

The form standard is ordinary but SECRET FORCE is one runner who could take a big step forward. A few of the newcomers are interesting.

7	7 (7) (15/8 -15%) Caballo De Guerra		1.875 15/8(-15%)																															(7) Caballo De Guerra 15/8, Soldier of Fortune gelding who shaped promisingly amidst greenness when third of 9 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, heavy) on debut just under 4 weeks ago, doing well to last as long in the conditions as he did given the hold he took. One to be interested in on the back of that. Shaped with considerable promise when third at Wetherby last month; likely contender.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +13%) Beyond The Verge		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(1) Beyond The Verge 7/2, Has an ordinary pedigree but belied odds of 18/1 and looked potentially above average when scoring at Kelso first time out in September. Acquitted himself well under a penalty when runner-up back there just under 8 weeks ago and he should be in the shake up again. 18-1 winner at Kelso in September and clear second under penalty there in November.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +20%) Noble George		4 4/1(+20%)																															(3) Noble George 4/1, Order of St George gelding who offered something to work on when second of 6 in bumper at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) on debut 4 weeks ago, shaping as if more of a test will suit. That was a weak race, so he will need to improve to go one better. Second of six in modest Sedgefield race on debut; improvement needed here.
4	4 (4) (9/2 -35%) Soldier In Mayo		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(4) Soldier In Mayo 9/2, £40,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner). Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 3). Needs keeping a close eye on. First foal from a fair hurdler; bought for £40,000 after Irish point win in November.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -14%) Centurion's Sister		16 16/1(-14%)																															(6) Centurion's Sister 16/1, Getaway filly who shaped better than bare result on debut when eighth of 11 in bumper at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) in November and should come on for that experience. Not discounted. Made low-key debut when eighth of 11 at Carlisle in November.
5	5 (5) (20/1 +39%) Wild Reiver		20 20/1(+39%)																															(5) Wild Reiver 20/1, Valirann gelding who was hooded and ran as if in need of the outing for fitness and experience when last of 6 in bumper at Ayr (16f, good to soft) in November. He may well leave that behind (has had a breathing operation since). Last of six at Ayr in November; needs subsequent wind op to have made a difference.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +0%) Lester Mail		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Lester Mail 25/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Great Pretender gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Elvis Mail. Dam, raced once over hurdles in France, also maiden on Flat, half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (17f-21f winner) True Love Mail. Betting should guide expectations. Brother to stable's smart chaser Elvis Mail; market support will make him of interest.

A bumper winner at Kelso, Beyond The Verge ran well again under a penalty when runner-up at the same venue last time. He can feature once again, but the point-to-point winner SOLDIER IN MAYO debuts under Rules having joined Donald McCain's yard, and the five-year-old may prove good enough to take advantage of the weight concession from Susan Corbett's gelding. Caballo De Guerra showed plenty of promise when third at Wetherby on his racecourse debut and is another to consider.

CABALLO DE GUERRA shaped with promise amidst greenness when third at Wetherby on debut recently and, with improvement on the cards, Lucinda Russell's 4-y-o may well take some stopping. Beyond The Verge already has a bumper win to his name, so he can give the selection most to think about under a penalty, with Irish point winner Soldier In Mayo a Rules debutant worth keeping a close eye on, too.

Lucinda Russell's CABALLO DE GUERRA travelled strongly for a long way when placed at Wetherby and might be the answer.

Opened her account in Southwell contest on Sunday; consistent; should remain competitive.

7	7 (7) (7/1 +7%) Sophosc		7 7/1(+7%)																															(7) Sophosc 7/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 15 days ago. Losing spell goes back to 2022 but his recent form is encouraging; fighting chance.
9	9 (9) (8/1 +0%) Further Measure		8 8/1(+0%)																															(9) Further Measure 8/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 10/1) 8 days ago, conceding first run. Has good chance on form. Ran well at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day; due to go back up 1lb in future.
11	11 (11) (12/1 -9%) Sir Joseph Swan		12 12/1(-9%)																															(11) Sir Joseph Swan 12/1, Latest win at Southwell in November. 9/2, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 8 days ago. Won in November and generally consistent otherwise of late; ties in with Arch Legend.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +52%) Capstan		16 16/1(+52%)																															(2) Capstan 16/1, Course winner. Three wins from 6 runs last year. Pulled up in novice hurdle (66/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Not solid on recent form and still has something to prove over this trip.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -57%) Brividi		22 22/1(-57%)																															(8) Brividi 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Has work to do. Needs improvement to get off the mark but that's not impossible.
12	12 (12) (22/1 +33%) Balgowan		22 22/1(+33%)																															(12) Balgowan 22/1, First run since leaving Milton Harris when creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 40/1) 25 days ago, needing stiffer test. Up in trip. Something to find on form. Maiden who hinted at retaining ability last month on debut for new stable.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -164%) Spitfire Bridge		66 66/1(-164%)																															(5) Spitfire Bridge 66/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 12 days ago. Failed to get home in C&D event last time and remains a maiden.

DOUBLETHETROUBLE was left with plenty of ground to make up at Kempton last time but missed out by only a nose when bidding for a hat-trick. Another prominent showing is expected from the seven-year-old and he can resume winning ways. Daaris has gone close in both starts since winning over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and is another with solid claims, while Sophosc is potentially well treated on this return to 2m and cannot be ruled out.

ARCH LEGEND is down to a very attractive mark (successful off 55 and 61 in the spring) and looks interesting in first-time headgear after his good second over C&D under this rider 12 days ago. Further Measure shaped as if ready to end his losing run at Wolverhampton last week and rates the main threat ahead of Doublethetrouble, who was thriving when last seen in the autumn.

Being unexposed over 2m, ARCH LEGEND could well build on his C&D effort and go one better. Sir Joseph Swan is second pick.

4	4 (4) (8/11 +58%) Paradoxical		0.727273 8/11(+58%)																															(4) Paradoxical 8/11, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 11/10) 3 days ago. Scored readily there so well in the mix under a 5 lb penalty. In fine form on Tapeta elsewhere before 1m4f winner at Lingfield on Tuesday; good claims.
9	9 (9) (11/4 +17%) Khangai		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(9) Khangai 11/4, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Good second of 8 in handicap (9/4) at this course (14.1f) 5 days ago, no extra late on. Visor on 1st time and a player back in trip. C&D winner who's in a good run of form at 1m4f and 1m6f for this yard; solid chance.
10	10 (10) (11/1 -120%) Coloane		11 11/1(-120%)																															(10) Coloane 11/1, One win from 25 Flat runs but he recorded a good third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 25 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Up in trip. Enters calculations. Turf winner at 1m; 0-13 on turf but narrow defeats at 1m1f on last 2 starts; new trip.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -14%) Mr Nugget		16 16/1(-14%)																															(7) Mr Nugget 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 32 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive. Modest form at big prices in qualifying runs; well held on 1m6f handicap debut last month.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +52%) Ace Rothstein		16 16/1(+52%)																															(2) Ace Rothstein 16/1, 50/1 and blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (11.1f) 15 days ago, merely closing up late. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Last won in Britain during 2021; struggled badly for many months despite big weights drop.
1	1 (1) (22/1 -83%) Sisterandbrother		22 22/1(-83%)																															(1) Sisterandbrother 22/1, 18/1, good third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Can give a good account. Four turf wins; 0-7 on AW but two good efforts here of late, over C&D last month; claims.
3	3 (3) (22/1 -193%) Young Endless		22 22/1(-193%)																															(3) Young Endless 22/1, Course winner. Three wins from 8 runs last year. 9/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, good). Off 7 months. Cheekpieces back on and more is needed. Has won 3 of his last 4 course starts (1m6f/2m); has a trip query and off since last June.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -257%) Yakhabar		50 50/1(-257%)																															(6) Yakhabar 50/1, 6/1, only sixth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good). Off 7 months and needs to hit the ground running. Off since June but has possibilities on 1m4f form at Newcastle earlier last year.
5	5 (5) (100/1 -400%) Pilgrim Of Culture		100 100/1(-400%)																															(5) Pilgrim Of Culture 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden.

Some promise on 1m4f handicap debut (AW) but off since April; new yard.

PARADOXICAL appeared to appreciate the step back up to this trip when running out a comfortable winner at Lingfield on Tuesday and, turned out again quickly, he gets the vote to defy a 5lb penalty. Khangai has been performing consistently well of late and, on the back of a solid second over 1m6f here last week, he can emerge as the main danger to the selection. Coloane has been knocking on the door and she could make her presence felt again.

C&D victor KHANGAI was worn down late on upped to 1m6f when runner-up here recently and is fancied to resume winning ways now back to his optimum distance. Recent Lingfield scorer Paradoxical rates a big threat under a 5 lb penalty for that stylish success, with Coloane also firmly in the picture now her stamina is drawn out more.

Preference is for PARADOXICAL following a convincing win over this trip at Lingfield on Tuesday. Khangai is next best.

1	1 (1) (9/4 +36%) Palmar Bay		2.25 9/4(+36%)																															(1) Palmar Bay 9/4, Latest win at Windsor in July. Good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 3/1) 30 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and, provided he takes to tapeta, another bold show could be on the way. Triple turf winner who found only one too good under a prominent ride on AW debut.
2	2 (2) (18/5 +20%) Lattaash		3.6 18/5(+20%)																															(2) Lattaash 18/5, Didn't need to be at best when winning 10-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 2/11) 25 days ago. That was a straightforward assignment but he nevertheless did the job well and merits respect back in handicap company. Third off this mark before making the most of a simple task back in novice company.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +15%) Ziggy's Condor		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(6) Ziggy's Condor 11/2, Creditable third of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 12 days ago. Every inch a leading candidate off the same mark here. Nine defeats since his winning debut but has been bang there in his last three races.
9	9 (9) (6/1 -9%) So Quiet		6 6/1(-9%)																															(9) So Quiet 6/1, Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Now 1 lb lower and he's one for the shortlist. Fourth of 14 over C&D last time when dropped in from a high draw.
11	11 (11) (11/1 +0%) Federal Envoy		11 11/1(+0%)																															(11) Federal Envoy 11/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. First run since leaving K. R. Burke when landing a 9-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D 21 days ago, keeping on well. This is tougher up 4 lb but couldn't rule out all the same. On stable debut he made all in gritty fashion over C&D 21 days ago.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -9%) Newsreader		12 12/1(-9%)																															(3) Newsreader 12/1, Three wins from 7 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton in November. Tenth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others preferred. Won with a bit in hand at Kempton (7f) and perhaps didn't stay 1m at Lingfield a month ago.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -17%) Judgment Call		14 14/1(-17%)																															(7) Judgment Call 14/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago. Still relatively unexposed on the AW and likely to be on the premises. Best of those who raced prominently when narrowly missing out at Newcastle (7f) latest.
12	12 (12) (22/1 -10%) Beauty Choice		22 22/1(-10%)																															(12) Beauty Choice 22/1, Three wins from 10 runs last year. 16/1, won 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 29 days ago, just holding on. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this looks more demanding. Narrow winner at Chelmsford last time but this looks sure to take more winning.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -180%) Perennial		28 28/1(-180%)																															(8) Perennial 28/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap (retained here) when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 40/1) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Entitled to come on for that and the return to this trip look a good move. Made a likeable debut for this yard and can improve for this return to 7f.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -75%) Billy Mill		28 28/1(-75%)																															(5) Billy Mill 28/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Ascot in July. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, soft, 12/1). Off 112 days and he's likely to find a few of these too strong. Multiple winner but below par the last twice and record when fresh is not the best.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -40%) How Impressive		28 28/1(-40%)																															(4) How Impressive 28/1, C&D winner. Five wins from 20 runs last year. Latest win here in October. 8/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 15 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Has not been at his best of late, albeit in higher grades; others preferred.
10	10 (10) (40/1 -21%) Legal Reform		40 40/1(-21%)																															(10) Legal Reform 40/1, C&D winner. 40/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper but it's easy enough to look elsewhere all the same. Dual C&D winner but only seventh here 15 days ago after a break.

PALMAR BAY was far from disgraced when finishing runner-up after conceding first run to the winner this trip at Lingfield recently and, nudged up 2lb since but with his sights lowered slightly today, he gets the nod to go one place better. Lattaash was entitled to score in the manner that he did when landing the odds over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and he must enter calculations back in a handicap. Ziggy's Condor is becoming attractively handicapped and shouldn't be ignored.

Not many of these can be safely discounted. PERENNIAL is interesting on the back of an encouraging all-weather/stable debut over 6f at Chelmsford last month and he looks just the type to do well for the shrewd Stuart Williams yard. So Quiet shaped well on his first run here last month and he is second choice ahead of Lattaash, Judgment Call and Ziggy's Condor.

Karl Burke's LATTAASH (nap) was found a straightforward opportunity last time but he has the look of a 4yo on the upgrade.

6	6 (6) (5/4 +9%) Rebel's Gamble		1.25 5/4(+9%)																															(6) Rebel's Gamble 5/4, 85,000 gns foal, 135,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel colt. Brother to smart 6f/7f winner Nahaarr and half-brother to useful 1m winner Gleneagle Bay. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). Likely type on paper and it'll look significant if he's strong in the betting. Lacks experience but lots to like on paper, being a well-related 135,000gns yearling.
1	1 (1) (2/1 +56%) Coul Angel		2 2/1(+56%)																															(1) Coul Angel 2/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, fourth of 10 in novice at this course (5f) on debut 14 days ago, finishing well. Up in trip and he is open to progress. 16-1, did well to finish so close over 5f here two weeks after clear signs of inexperience.
7	7 (7) (16/5 -7%) Stardancer		3.2 16/5(-7%)																															(7) Stardancer 16/5, Promising type. Second of 9 in novice at this C&D (7/2) 15 days ago, running on. Remains open to improvement and should make a bold bid to go one better. Improved second over C&D 15 days ago and that form is right up there.
5	5 (5) (4/1 +33%) Macedonian		4 4/1(+33%)																															(5) Macedonian 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in novice (10/3) at Kempton (6f). Off 121 days (gelded in the interim) and, in good hands, he's likely to do better in due course. Good debut run and gelded since a lesser second effort at Kempton.
4	4 (4) (9/1 +10%) Invincible Melody		9 9/1(+10%)																															(4) Invincible Melody 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, seventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (6f) on debut 30 days ago. May well do better with that run under his belt. Weak in the market at Kempton (6f; 14-1) and he was slowly away and then ran green.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -142%) California Fling		80 80/1(-142%)																															(10) California Fling 80/1, 10,000 gns yearling, Sir Prancealot filly. Dam 1m/9f winner. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run. 10,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 1m-1m1f AW/US winner (RPR 80).
8	8 (8) (100/1 +0%) Threatening		100 100/1(+0%)																															(8) Threatening 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in novice (33/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) on debut 86 days ago, missing break. Likely to show himself in a better light when going down the handicap route later on. 33-1 and never got competitive at Nottingham in October (6f, heavy).
2	2 (2) (100/1 -203%) Helaali		100 100/1(-203%)																															(2) Helaali 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 9 in novice at Newcastle (5f, 9/2) 25 days ago. Back up in trip and probably more one for handicaps in due course. Yard also saddles Sun Keeper. Newcastle last time was better but that form still gives him plenty to find.
12	12 (12) (150/1 -275%) Sun Keeper		150 150/1(-275%)																															(12) Sun Keeper 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in novice at Chelmsford (6f, 5/1) 15 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time hood sparking improvement. Minor form in both her runs and headgear is soon turned to; hard to recommend.
9	9 (9) (200/1 -100%) Trust Sergei		200 200/1(-100%)																															(9) Trust Sergei 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden (66/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) on debut 55 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over. Never dangerous when beaten just over 20l on soft ground at Doncaster (6f; 66-1).
11	11 (11) (400/1 -300%) Sharp Call		400 400/1(-300%)																															(11) Sharp Call 400/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 9 in novice at this C&D on debut 15 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Finished last over C&D 15 days ago and she'll be one for handicaps.

Those with experience don't appear to set a lofty standard so it may pay to side with REBEL'S GAMBLE. There is plenty to like about the 135,000gns son of Dark Angel on paper and he gets the vote to score first time up for the in-form Karl Burke team. Macedonian was too keen for his own good when fourth over 6f at Kempton last time out and, on his first start since being gelded, he could make his presence felt. Recent C&D runner-up Stardancer is also noteworthy.

The vote goes to STARDANCER, who stepped up on his debut when chasing home a potentially decent type from the Crisford yard over this C&D recently and he should continue to improve with experience. Newcomer Rebel's Gamble makes plenty of appeal on paper and it will be an ominous sign for the others if he's strong in the betting, while Coul Angel and Invincible Melody should both build on their encouraging debuts.

Clive Cox's STARDANCER is taken to make it third-time lucky after a much improved second effort here.

9	9 (9) (7/4 +65%) The Outlaw		1.75 7/4(+65%)																															(9) The Outlaw 7/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in maiden (20/1) at Newbury (6.5f, heavy) 70 days ago. Still much respected for good yard on his handicap debut after a break. Never figured in three starts on turf last year; bred to be much better than he has shown.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +13%) Whizz By		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(6) Whizz By 7/2, Lightly-raced winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 12-runner nursery at this C&D (7/2) 52 days ago. Not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid despite a 5 lb weights rise. Still looks to be improving and is a major player in her bid for a C&D hat-trick.
5	5 (5) (4/1 -33%) Cosmic Force		4 4/1(-33%)																															(5) Cosmic Force 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good sixth of 12 in nursery at this course (6.1f, 11/1) 20 days ago. One to consider. Shaped as though this extra furlong would suit here last time; worth a second look.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +7%) Brightandbeautiful		7 7/1(+7%)																															(3) Brightandbeautiful 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 9 in nursery (15/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 15 days ago, slowly away. In the picture. This trip may be a bare minimum for her, but she comes right into the reckoning on form.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -71%) Empowered Queen		12 12/1(-71%)																															(7) Empowered Queen 12/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good fourth of 12 in nursery at this course (6.1f) 20 days ago. Player off an unchanged mark now back up to 7f with the headgear again sported. Finished in the frame in all three nurseries late last year; return to this trip may suit.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -80%) Minelone		18 18/1(-80%)																															(4) Minelone 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 31 days ago. Visor/tongue strap on 1st time for his handicap debut with more required. Well beaten last time but had shown ability in first two starts; new headgear combination.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -214%) Bantz		22 22/1(-214%)																															(8) Bantz 22/1, 8/1, respectable fifth of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 22 days ago, finishing well. Can make his presence felt once more. Got no run last time; extra furlong should be within range but improvement will be needed.
1	1 (1) (25/1 +0%) Foro Romano		25 25/1(+0%)																															(1) Foro Romano 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm). Off 129 days. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey. Below form last two starts after showing early promise; stable debut after four months off.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -180%) Rock Diva		28 28/1(-180%)																															(2) Rock Diva 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Reared leaving stalls when eighth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 43 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Remains with potential. Promise in first two starts; open to progress in handicaps and a player on form.
10	10 (10) (33/1 -32%) Desert Eye		33 33/1(-32%)																															(10) Desert Eye 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, respectable sixth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 20 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and respected now going into handicaps. Shaped last time as though she needs further than this now; blinkers on.

A winner here in October on her handicap debut, WHIZZ BY defied a 7lb hike to complete a C&D double on her latest start. Tom Ward's progressive filly should have more to offer and she gets the vote to land a treble, despite a further 5lb rise. Brightandbeautiful posted her best effort to date when finishing an encouraging fourth at Chelmsford and another good effort looks likely from her, while breeding suggests this extra distance could play to the strengths of Cosmic Force.

A few with chances but the vote goes to EMPOWERED QUEEN who rates the pick of the weights on the back of her very good recent fourth here and should find this return to further also a plus. Hat-trick seeking Whizz By rates the obvious threat, with Bantz and Rock Diva also in the picture.

These conditions have brought out the best in WHIZZ BY and she is taken to complete a C&D hat-trick.

7	7 (7) (5/1 +64%) Beveragino		5 5/1(+64%)																															(7) Beveragino 5/1, Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 22/1) 71 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Michael Bell. No forlorn hope. 1-13 for Michael Bell; well held in five handicaps; worth a market check on stable debut.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +33%) Bella Kopella		5 5/1(+33%)																															(5) Bella Kopella 5/1, 14/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip and not discounted. Fine record over 7f on AW but tries this far for the first time in 14 months; interesting.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +44%) Autumn Rose		5 5/1(+44%)																															(6) Autumn Rose 5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 21 days ago, never nearer. Needs to bounce back. Missed the break when held over C&D three weeks ago; more will be needed to defy this mark.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +14%) Style Of Life		6 6/1(+14%)																															(1) Style Of Life 6/1, Latest win at Thirsk in September. Seventh of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 31 days ago so needs to bounce back. Still 5lb above last winning mark and last two efforts leave her with a bit to prove.
8	8 (8) (15/2 +0%) Just Rita		7.5 15/2(+0%)																															(8) Just Rita 15/2, First run since leaving Marco Botti when last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/1) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. 0-13 and failed to beat a rival on stable debut last month; much more needed.
10	10 (10) (9/1 -125%) Starsong		9 9/1(-125%)																															(10) Starsong 9/1, Course winner who posted a resurgent second of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. A player off the same mark. Returned to form when just beaten at Lingfield 12 days ago; 1lb well in.
3	3 (3) (22/1 +12%) Liv My Life		22 22/1(+12%)																															(3) Liv My Life 22/1, 100/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with more needed. Down another 3lb, but best watched unless the market predicts a resurgence.
9	9 (9) (80/1 -700%) Lockdown Lass		80 80/1(-700%)																															(9) Lockdown Lass 80/1, 6/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 8 months ago. Others more persuasive. 0-13 on the AW and has enough to prove on her return from another lengthy absence.

RAPIDO GIRL has improved for the switch to the all-weather and placed for the third time in succession when going close at Newcastle on her latest outing. The daughter of Massaat looks capable of winning off her current rating on that evidence and another bold bid is anticipated. Course winner Starsong has won off higher marks in the past and returns to 7f with solid claims based on her recent second at Lingfield, while Just Rita is not badly treated on only her second start for new connections.

STARSONG got right back on track when runner-up at Lingfield last time and this course winner can capitalise on a reduced mark here. Rapido Girl is feared most on the back of her good Newcastle second, with Bella Kopella another who can have a say now stepped up in distance.

The choice is BELLA KOPELLA now back over 7f on the AW (record 212131). She has also dropped 7lb below her last winning mark.

1	1 (1) (2/1 -7%) Autumn Angel		2 2/1(-7%)																															(1) Autumn Angel 2/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. 13/8, won 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Bernie The Bear, well on top finish. Should be in the mix. Has to concede weight all round but she's one of the more reliable options.
10	10 (10) (3/1 +54%) Piperstown		3 3/1(+54%)																															(10) Piperstown 3/1, Modest gelding. Winner here on penultimate start. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 9/1) 2 days ago. Step back up in trip looks a good move and he will have every chance if turned out again quickly. Recent 5f course winner but never involved at Newcastle on Wednesday.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +46%) Jesse Luc		3.5 7/2(+46%)																															(6) Jesse Luc 7/2, Modest gelding. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 29 days ago. Still, he's not without each-way hope. Ran well for long way on stable debut and that was after a break in handicap company.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -71%) Bernie The Bear		6 6/1(-71%)																															(4) Bernie The Bear 6/1, Modest gelding. 3/1, good 1¾ lengths second of 11 to Autumn Angel in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces back on and should make his presence felt. Not without hope of reversing Monday's Wolverhampton placings with Autumn Angel.
2	2 (2) (12/1 -20%) Asadjumeirah		12 12/1(-20%)																															(2) Asadjumeirah 12/1, Modest gelding. Forty eight runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago. Not without an each-way squeak. Placed in three successive 6f handicaps before a lesser show in the latest at Newcastle.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +58%) Magic Fluke		14 14/1(+58%)																															(8) Magic Fluke 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 11 in handicap (20/1) at this course (7.1f) 46 days ago. Looks set for another struggle. A fair 6f winner on Tapeta for Marco Botti but he's yet to fire for his current yard.
3	3 (3) (20/1 -43%) Batal Dandy		20 20/1(-43%)																															(3) Batal Dandy 20/1, Latest win at Kempton in October. Hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) 8 days ago, slowly away. Needs to bounce back. Unconvincing of late and this new headgear did nothing last week.
12	12 (12) (28/1 -56%) Trulie Good		28 28/1(-56%)																															(12) Trulie Good 28/1, Modest mare. Course winner. 7/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at this C&D. Off 9 months and while she would have a chance if on-song, it's likely that the run will be needed. Two modest runs since winning a 5f classified here; has been absent since March.
7	7 (7) (66/1 -230%) Lochaber		66 66/1(-230%)																															(7) Lochaber 66/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 20/1) 51 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to bounce back in a major way. On a losing run but runs well now and again; now drops in a classified race.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -32%) Gidwa		66 66/1(-32%)																															(5) Gidwa 66/1, Poor gelding. Course winner. Last of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) 8 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others look stronger. Chance depends on what effect the new visor might have.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -300%) The Princes Poet		100 100/1(-300%)																															(11) The Princes Poet 100/1, Modest gelding. Twenty-one runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 28/1) 56 days ago. Back up in trip and likely to find a few too good once more. All headgear removed after starting slowly last time; ability is there to be involved.
9	9 (9) (125/1 -89%) One Moonbeam		125 125/1(-89%)																															(9) One Moonbeam 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in nursery (125/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) when last seen 12 months ago. Best watched. Beat only one home on nursery debut more than a year ago and has a lot to prove.

Autumn Angel is penalised for winning a handicap at Wolverhampton just four days ago, and that could hand the advantage to the reopposing runner-up BERNIE THE BEAR. Linda Perratt's charge is fancied to turn the tables on more favourable terms today, with an apprentice's allowance also in his favour. Trulie Good is capable of featuring at this lowly level on her return to action, while Asadjumeirah could be thereabouts if at the top of his game.

PIPERSTOWN failed to land any sort of a blow in a 5f Newcastle handicap on New Year's Day but he wasn't given a hard time and it'd be no surprise should connections allow him to take his chance. If so, the 4-y-o, who was successful here on his penultimate start, may well get back on the winning trail. Autumn Angel and Bernie The Bear, first and second respectively at Wolverhampton on Monday, rate the main dangers. Jesse Luc could also have a part to play.

A chance is taken on JESSE LUC who ran a promising first race for his new yard and he's down to 6f here which may suit.

6	6 (6) (9/5 +55%) Kapparis Kid		1.8 9/5(+55%)																															(6) Kapparis Kid 9/5, Temperamental sort. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 42 days ago. Claims if he puts his best foot forward. 0-13 in handicaps but hasn't been far away in two of his last three.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +0%) Glory Call		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Glory Call 4/1, Modest gelding. Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 10/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 64 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Enters calculations. Bit to prove again now but has form here and he won his last bid at a classified race.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +50%) My Boy Jack		5 5/1(+50%)																															(9) My Boy Jack 5/1, Modest gelding. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 8 days ago. Doesn't always help himself by starting slowly. Infrequent winner who has been runner-up too many times for comfort.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +20%) Jems Bond		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Jems Bond 8/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago. Others preferred. Saves his best for Newcastle, though hasn't shone there the last twice.
7	7 (7) (10/1 -25%) Liv Lucky		10 10/1(-25%)																															(7) Liv Lucky 10/1, Modest mare. Course winner. Latest win here in September. Tenth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at this course (5f) 46 days ago. Back up in trip and she needs to bounce back. Hard horse to call and has overall strike-rate of 2-34.
8	8 (8) (11/1 -47%) May Remain		11 11/1(-47%)																															(8) May Remain 11/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Very good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 14 days ago. Solid each-way chance. Hasn't been running at all badly in handicaps and has a chance on these terms.
12	12 (12) (12/1 -140%) Ustath		12 12/1(-140%)																															(12) Ustath 12/1, Modest gelding. 4-time C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 15 days ago. Has good chance on these terms. Seven-time course winner but beaten 7l in a C&D handicap 15 days ago.
1	1 (1) (14/1 +58%) Angel Of Mather's		14 14/1(+58%)																															(1) Angel Of Mather's 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (200/1) at this course (5f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and she's likely to come up short once again. Finished closer here three weeks ago but still only 11th of the 12 in a maiden.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -200%) Barnsnape Boy		18 18/1(-200%)																															(2) Barnsnape Boy 18/1, Poor gelding. 28/1, first run since leaving Adam West when good seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Looks vulnerable. Made eyecatching late progress in a 6f handicap at Lingfield latest.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -150%) Jazz State		40 40/1(-150%)																															(4) Jazz State 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in maiden (100/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 12 months ahead of this debut for new yard and sports first-time cheekpieces. Opposable. Failed to beat a rival in three 5f starts for Archie Watson; cheekpieces added.
10	10 (10) (50/1 0%) Safio's Princess		50 50/1(0%)																															(10) Safio's Princess 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice (200/1) at this course (7.1f) 43 days ago. Readily passed over. Poor form in her first three races (7f/1m); this should be easier but all to prove.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -52%) Tilsworth Silver		100 100/1(-52%)																															(11) Tilsworth Silver 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (6f) 84 days ago. Hard to fancy. Failed to raise modest profile on handicap debut last time out; has no form claims.

MAY REMAIN last won when landing a handicap over this C&D in February last year and should find life easier at this level. The veteran ran well for fourth at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and can go close if able to back it up. My Boy Jack is no forlorn hope returning to today's shorter distance, while Liv Lucky scored over the minimum trip here in September and she can also make her presence felt.

Four-time C&D winner USTATH should come on for his recent mid-field finish in a handicap here, given that it was his first appearance for three months, and he could be the answer back in classified company. Glory Call was a respectable fourth over 7f last time and he is greatly respected back down in trip, while Kapparis Kid and May Remain are others with reasonable prospects.

Tony Carroll's KAPPARIS KID drops into a classified race with some competitive handicap form to his name.

6	6 (6) (5/2 +17%) Union Island		2.5 5/2(+17%)																															(6) Union Island 5/2, 9/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, just failing (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Not taken lightly under a 5 lb penalty. Awarded the race here last week and he's now 611 since stepped up to 1m.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +0%) Elterwater		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(5) Elterwater 7/2, Winner at Chelmsford City in November. Good second of 11 in handicap there (8f) 29 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards with that form working out well. Off the mark over 1m at Chelmsford and got close to following up back there last month.
9	9 (9) (4/1 +0%) Commander Crouch		4 4/1(+0%)																															(9) Commander Crouch 4/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 10/3) 17 days ago. Considered. He finished well off a solid gallop to take second at Newcastle (1m); should go well.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +25%) Joolianoss		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(2) Joolianoss 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/1, very good third of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW), never nearer. Off 134 days. Can give a good account. Steady improvement, close third in a 1m Polytrack handicap most recently.
7	7 (7) (11/1 +21%) Mr Fustic		11 11/1(+21%)																															(7) Mr Fustic 11/1, C&D winner. 12/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 41 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Given a chance by the handicapper. Four-time AW winner but now has to turn a corner in the new cheekpieces.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +25%) Mykonos St John		12 12/1(+25%)																															(11) Mykonos St John 12/1, Course winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 28/1) 8 days ago. Can make presence felt. His never-dangerous fourth from off the pace at Wolverhampton was quite encouraging.
12	12 (12) (22/1 -83%) Kodebreaker		22 22/1(-83%)																															(12) Kodebreaker 22/1, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 28/1) 13 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs considering. There's always hope that a change of headgear might trigger something.
3	3 (3) (25/1 -150%) Al Suil Eile		25 25/1(-150%)																															(3) Al Suil Eile 25/1, 3-time C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Patiently ridden after a break when seventh of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 32 days ago, nearest finish. Not ruled out. Poor last time after an absence but won three times over C&D last winter.
1	1 (1) (40/1 +0%) Jack Daniel		40 40/1(+0%)																															(1) Jack Daniel 40/1, 40/1, last of 9 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm). Off 146 days. First run for yard after leaving Declan Carroll. Dual winner; has lost his way but makes yard debut having been gelded.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -100%) War Memorial		50 50/1(-100%)																															(8) War Memorial 50/1, 16/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip with work to do. Showed occasional promise for Michael Dods but it's been a quiet start for this yard.

JOOLIANOSS returns from a layoff representing last year's winning trainer. The four-year-old was beaten less than a length when third at Lingfield on his handicap bow in August and has lots of scope for further improvement off a 1lb higher mark. Elterwater has the more recent form having won at Chelmsford before just missing out at the same track last month. She has to be included in calculations, while the penalised Union Island is not out of this either as the recent C&D winner bids for a hat-trick.

ELTERWATER is thriving and fancied to quickly resume winning ways with the form of her Chelmsford second working out well. Recent C&D scorer Union Island heads the list of dangers, with Commander Crouch also firmly in the picture in this competitive handicap.

The filly ELTERWATER might be the one. Her improvement has come at Chelmsford but she's run well here before and looks progressive.

5	5 (5) (9/4 +50%) Drifts Away		2.25 9/4(+50%)																															(5) Drifts Away 9/4, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 13/8, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 41 days ago. Enters calculations. Won twice from the front in autumn; slghtly disappointing last time but still considered.
11	11 (11) (10/3 +26%) Jaamir		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(11) Jaamir 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Merits serious consideration eased 1 lb. Finished well from the rear when fourth on recent handicap debut; still has potential.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -14%) Tea Sea		4 4/1(-14%)																															(3) Tea Sea 4/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 14 days ago. Up 3 lb but he can make his presence felt once more. Back in prime form with 7f win last month and this return to 1m won't be a problem.
7	7 (7) (11/2 -22%) Devasboy		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(7) Devasboy 11/2, Off 7 months/first run since leaving Ian Williams when a promising fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 13/2) 45 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Expected to be bang there. Without a win since 2022 but kept on well for fourth on stable debut in November; a player.
1	1 (1) (13/2 +35%) Mercurius Power		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(1) Mercurius Power 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 16/1) 6 days ago so needs to get back on track. Disappointed last time but was placed twice in the autumn (once over C&D).
6	6 (6) (14/1 +0%) Timebar		14 14/1(+0%)																															(6) Timebar 14/1, First run since leaving Richard Hannon when good fourth of 8 in handicap (50/1) at this course (6.1f) 67 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Possibilities. Made fairly encouraging stable debut over 6f but makes only limited appeal on first 1m try.
10	10 (10) (28/1 -133%) Anif		28 28/1(-133%)																															(10) Anif 28/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 17/2) 46 days ago, suited by strong pace. Ought to be thereabouts. Veteran; won twice on slow turf last spring but younger rivals appeal more all the same.
9	9 (9) (28/1 -12%) Billy Mcgarry		28 28/1(-12%)																															(9) Billy Mcgarry 28/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 16/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 41 days ago. Others have achieved more. Won three times in first half of 2024; back from break with two underwhelming autumn runs.
4	4 (4) (40/1 -60%) Embarked		40 40/1(-60%)																															(4) Embarked 40/1, Course winner. Latest win here in September. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 40/1) 24 days ago. Shortlisted. Ended last year with some below-par efforts and needs to up his game.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -25%) Distinction		50 50/1(-25%)																															(2) Distinction 50/1, Four wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win at Pontefract in July. Below-par seventh of 12 in handicap (80/1) at this C&D 15 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Best suited by slow turf; looked out of sorts on both Tapeta starts last month.

A recent winner over 7f at Wolverhampton, Tea Sea is likely to prove competitive once again having been raised only 3lb. Mercurius Power returns to this venue with a shout off his current mark, having won over this C&D in August, but it could pay to side with JAAMIR. James Owen's charge should be sharper for a recent fourth at Chelmsford on his handicap debut, when giving the impression there was much more to come, and he gets the vote.

DEVASBOY shaped well on his first run for Mick Appleby when fourth at Lingfield last time and is fancied to build on that and fend off James Owen's lightly-raced Jaamir who posted a very good fourth at Chelmsford on his recent handicap debut. C&D winner Tea Sea can also have a say in an intriguing contest.

Given quite a lot to do before staying on well for fourth on his handicap debut at Chelmsford a fortnight ago, JAAMIR appeals most.

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.
