12:20 Windsor (Class 2) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (13/8 -18%) Getawhisky	1.625 13/8(-18%)	(3) Getawhisky 13/8, Had rivals under pressure when falling in an Introductory Hurdle at Ascot last time. Trainer in form. Off a short break; effective at 2m on a sound surface. Could make amends for that unlucky run, though ground remains an unknown. Promising in bumpers last season and was running well before falling in latest hurdle race.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +0%) Hornica	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(4) Hornica 11/2, Made too much use of when comfortably held in Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed) at Newbury last time; off a short-break; effective 2m on G; may improve for bit further in time. Showed promise in two good-quality Newbury contests in November; can improve.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 +17%) Anariza	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(1) Anariza 11/4, Returned to form back from break tried in a hood when winning a novice hurdle at Wetherby by 2l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on S, G; spring form franked and can go well. Beat a next-time-out winner on seasonal debut and has another big role to play here.
4	6 4th (6) (50/1 -257%) Penn Avenue	50 50/1(-257%)	(6) Penn Avenue 50/1, Showed some promise on debut when 13l third in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster last time. Effective at 2m1f on good ground and should improve with experience. Fair Flat-racer; respectable third on recent stable/hurdle debut; needs to build on that.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 +20%) Yasmina	100 100/1(+20%)	(5) Yasmina 100/1, Improved for debut experience when fourth, beaten 17l, in a novice hurdle at Fontwell last time. Effective at 2m and may need more time to develop over hurdles. Did not achieve a huge amount when making the frame on her first two hurdling starts.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (5/2 +25%) Lau And Shaz	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(2) Lau And Shaz 5/2, Improved when winning a novice hurdle at Wincanton by 3/4l last time. Effective at 2m, not proven beyond, acts on soft and good ground, and remains capable of better. Delivered on Irish promise when too good for 1-6 favourite on British debut; big player.

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

LAU AND SHAZ accounted for a useful rival when winning on her debut for these connections at Wincanton on Boxing Day and the six-year-old could be hard to beat if repeating that level of form here. Anariza also struck on her most recent outing and may prove to be the main threat, although Getawhisky and Penn Avenue should not be discounted.

Useful in bumpers last season, GETAWHISKY was running very well before she fell at Ascot in November.

12:30 Fakenham (Class 5) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/1 -157%) Belcamo	9 9/1(-157%)	(1) Belcamo 9/1, Below form when up in class and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster most recently. Effective over 2m on a sound surface but needs to bounce back. Competitive off even higher marks but has to bounce back from two below-par efforts.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +55%) Lord Of The Glance	5 5/1(+55%)	(4) Lord Of The Glance 5/1, Failed to feature from off the pace when tried in a tongue-tie and well beaten in a novice hurdle at Plumpton last time; may improve now switched to handicaps. Handicap newcomer but positives fairly thin on the ground after six starts.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 +0%) Path Of Stars	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(5) Path Of Stars 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton last time after a short break. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on good ground; needs to bounce back. Had a break since her last run which was too bad to be true; may need further.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (13/8 +41%) Lusso Milan	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(3) Lusso Milan 13/8, Ran to form when 6 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Southwell on most recent outing. Effective at 2m on good ground and has handled cut in bumpers; appears to be running into form. Has some solid races in handicaps, including on her last four appearances.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (15/8 -7%) Castle Quarter	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(2) Castle Quarter 15/8, Took a step back in the right direction when 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton on latest start. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective around 2m on good to soft and good ground but inconsistent. Placed in a Class 4 last time at Wincanton so a likely contender at this level.

Lusso Milan has yet to get her head in front, but it's not for the want of trying and she can make her presence felt. Castle Quarter was far from disgraced at Wincanton on Boxing Day and he could find a little more in the newly-applied tongue-tie, but a chance is taken on LORD OF THE GLANCE. Alex Hales' charge showed precious little in novice events, but his opening mark reflects that and this is only a moderate handicap.

The mare LUSSO MILAN deserves to make the breakthrough and handicaps don't come a lot more winnable than this one.

12:40 Thurles 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (10/1 +38%) Hillberry Hill	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Hillberry Hill 10/1, Showed some promise on debut when well beaten in an auction hurdle at Clonmel; returns from a short break and proven at 2m1f on soft ground; should improve with the step up in trip. Not too bad on Clonmel debut when sixth of nine; improvement needed all the same.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +22%) Ifallgoeswell	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(1) Ifallgoeswell 7/2, Improved when second, beaten 1/2l, in a novice hurdle at Limerick last time; trainer in form and effective from 2m to 2m3f on heavy or good ground; has a clear chance here. Good run in a moderate novice hurdle last time; trip to suit and stable in good form.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/9 +33%) Forty Coats	0.444444 4/9(+33%)	(6) Forty Coats 4/9, Well below form when well beaten in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle last time, likely needing the run; effective from 2m3f to 2m5f on any ground; sets the standard and should be fitter now. Leading contender based on good runs in defeat inc' in Gr.1 company; last run raises doubt.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +0%) Campbell Black	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Campbell Black 12/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when third, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle at Newbury last time; effective at 2m with some cut and may benefit from a longer trip. Respectable third on debut and another good effort last time; may find a few too talented.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 -129%) Loyal Praetorian	16 16/1(-129%)	(8) Loyal Praetorian 16/1, Still in contention when falling in an auction hurdle at Limerick last time; effective from 2m to 2m3f on heavy ground; looks an improving type. Point winner; second at Clonmel before falling at two out last time when looking dangerous.
6th	5 6th (5) (66/1 -100%) Diamond Secret	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Diamond Secret 66/1, 10,000 euros Agent Secret gelding; half-brother to Pretty King, winner of the Swedish Grand National; makes limited appeal on debut. Half-brother to Swedish Grand National winner Pretty King; best watched on debut.
7th	11 7th (11) (100/1 -100%) Written In My Soul	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Written In My Soul 100/1, Found little and likely needed the run when well beaten in an auction hurdle at Down Royal last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface; one to note for future handicaps. Point runner-up has made no impact in opening m'dens; may do better in h'caps.
8th	9 8th (9) (125/1 -89%) Its All Yellow	125 125/1(-89%)	(9) Its All Yellow 125/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork; may require more time to progress. Tailed off at Cork on debut at 33-1, albeit badly hampered at three out; others preferred.
9th	2 9th (2) (33/1 +0%) Green Chef	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Green Chef 33/1, Showed little on debut when down the field in a 4yo bumper at Punchestown; returns from a long layoff but has shown effectiveness at 3m in points; could improve now hurdling. 7.5l third on point debut and beaten 26l in Punchestown festival bumper; best watched.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (18/1 +28%) King Of Westeros	18 18/1(+28%)	(4) King Of Westeros 18/1, From a yard that won this race last year; poor debut when down the field in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle; wears a hood for the first time and needs that to bring improvement. Moderate runner-up in point was tailed off at Leopardstown last time; others preferred.
10th	10 10th (10) (125/1 -150%) La Tene	125 125/1(-150%)	(10) La Tene 125/1, Marginally improved when fourth, beaten 19l, in an auction hurdle here last time; returns after a very long absence but effective at 2m on soft ground and should come forward for that run. Not disgraced in maiden hurdles to date but needs more to be serious contender.

FORTY COATS appears to have been found a good opportunity to open his account over hurdles. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding won a point-to-point and a bumper before being sent hurdling and has filled the runner-up spot three times behind some useful types. He signed off last season with a fine fourth behind The New Lion at the Cheltenham Festival and hopefully can bounce back after a below-par effort when reappearing at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. Ifallgoeswell showed promise when placed three times in bumpers and went close over hurdles at Limerick last month, while Loyal Praetorian was in the process of running a big race when falling two out at the same fixture.

Likely to start at a short price FORTY COATS\b just about shades the vote, but \bLoyal Praetorian and Ifallgoeswell have EW chances

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +14%) Scorpio Rising	3 3/1(+14%)	(2) Scorpio Rising 3/1, Did it readily when landing a handicap by 4 1/4l off a 8lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f, acts with cut; progressing and good chance of hat-trick. Up 8lb for comfortable handicap debut win but he's clearly on the upgrade.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 +17%) Top Jimmy	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Top Jimmy 5/1, Bit free in front when third, beaten 8 1/4l, in the Winter Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Sandown last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and likely to stay further; acts on soft and good; debut form franked at Graded level, with more to come. 2-3 over hurdles, the defeat coming in a Grade 2; this mark might not be beyond him.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -13%) Lisbane Park	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Lisbane Park 9/1, Travelled, not find much up the hill, ran to form when fourth beaten 19l in a novice hurdle at Cheltenham latest; effective 2m, acts on G; more to come, likely get bit further in time. Ran quite well at Cheltenham given he carried a penalty against older horses.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +0%) Fresh Kicks	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Fresh Kicks 10/1, Below form up in trip on handicap debut, may not have stayed when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time; effective 2m4f/2m5f, acts on S, G; with top yard and could yet do better. Won his maiden at 2m4f and didn't appear to stay the extended 2m7f on handicap debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/4 +39%) Harry Lowes	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(4) Harry Lowes 11/4, Improved on debut upped in trip when 6l third in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen most recent run; effective 2m1f-2m5f, acts on GS; capable of much better now handicapping and could be nicely treated. Beaten under a penalty at Market Rasen but the winner's useful; handicap debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (17/2 -42%) Maldini Milano	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(8) Maldini Milano 17/2, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when winning a maiden hurdle at Plumpton by 3 1/2l last time; back from a short break; effective from 2m to 2m6f and acts on good to soft and good; can progress in handicaps though the mark looks demanding. Maiden winner in November; yard won this two years ago with a handicap debutant.
7th	9 7th (9) (7/1 -8%) Kel Du Large	7 7/1(-8%)	(9) Kel Du Large 7/1, Bit free but ran to form when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time; trainer in form; effective over 2m and acts on soft and good; consistent performer in a short career. Fifth in a Cheltenham handicap last time and might improve for this step up in distance.
8th	10 8th (10) (66/1 -164%) Tyson	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Tyson 66/1, Made mistakes and disappointed on chase debut when well beaten in a beginners' chase at Sligo last time; returns from a break; effective around 2m4f and acts on soft and good; reverts to hurdles now. 0-10 in Ireland but showed ability; makes debut for Dan Skelton after wind surgery.
9th	7 9th (7) (16/1 +0%) Fashion Hunter	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Fashion Hunter 16/1, Bit below form when second, beaten 24l, in a novice hurdle at Fontwell last time; effective from 2m to 2m2f and acts on soft and good to soft; should have more to offer now going handicapping. Two promising runs and connections go straight into a handicap for just his third start.

MALDINI MILANO had plenty in hand when beating two subsequent winners in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton in November. Given the strength of that form, Paul Nicholls' gelding may be underestimated by an opening mark of 114. Top Jimmy wasn't disgraced in Grade 2 company at Sandown and has to be noted at this level. The progressive Scorpio Rising is another who arrives with strong form claims.

A good race. The suggestion is FRESH KICKS who moved well for a long way on handicap debut and didn't appear to stay the extended 2m7f.

1	5 1st (5) (15/8 +81%) Apieceovfortune	1.875 15/8(+81%)	(5) Apieceovfortune 15/8, Won by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell two runs back. Had every chance but below form last time, off the same mark here. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on good to soft and good ground; inconsistent but fairly treated on recent win. Catterick was disappointing but a 3m winner the time before and could bounce back.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +43%) Getaway With You	4 4/1(+43%)	(2) Getaway With You 4/1, Won by 7 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Lingfield three starts ago. Below form dropped in trip last time but 1lb lower here. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on heavy and good to soft ground; step back up in trip may help. Heavy ground perhaps not ideal on last two starts but now looks high in the weights.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -140%) Lelantos	3 3/1(-140%)	(1) Lelantos 3/1, Returned to form suited by positive ride at sharp track landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; suited by 3m on a sound surface; can go well again. Again below his former best but he still won at Huntingdon; 4lb rise no big deal.
4	4 4th (4) (5/2 +79%) Jack The Savage	2.5 5/2(+79%)	(4) Jack The Savage 5/2, Hung up the hill and below form when fourth, beaten 27l, in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time. Returning from a break; effective from 2m4f to 3m1f and acts on a sound surface; needs more. Struggling for form when last seen and has been off since early September.

Lelantos returned to form with a victory at Huntingdon and given that his only previous visit to this track resulted in a C&D success, there should be optimism of a similar outcome. That being said, CASTANEA BREEZE has few miles on the clock and Lucy Wadham often does well here. The six-year-old made a winning handicap bow before finding one too strong at Wetherby and he's open to plenty more improvement so is fancied to go one place better. Getaway With You can chase the pair home.

Lelantos doesn't look as good as he was despite winning last time and CASTANEA BREEZE (nap) is the one with momentum behind him.

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (5/6 +39%) Espresso Milan	0.833333 5/6(+39%)	(3) Espresso Milan 5/6, Yard has won 3 of last 5 runnings of race; promising hurdles debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Punchestown by 1 1/2l last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m3f with cut; more to come over hurdles for top yard. Untidy jumping at times at Punchestown, won quite snugly, can prosper over staying trips.
2	6 2nd (6) (17/2 -6%) Minella Emperor	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(6) Minella Emperor 17/2, Improved again when finishing 6 1/4l third in a maiden hurdle at Limerick on his most recent run. Effective from 2m3f to 2m5f and acts on any ground. Has more to come. Looks capable of losing his maiden status before too long, winners make more appeal here.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/1 +39%) Long Branch	11 11/1(+39%)	(4) Long Branch 11/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a novice hurdle here by 1/2l last time. Effective from 2m to 2m7f, and acts on soft and good ground. Probably needs more in this stronger contest. Got up late for a C&D win last month, this opposition is likely to prove more challenging.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 +0%) American Jukebox	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(1) American Jukebox 15/2, Yard has won 3 of last 8 runnings of race; big improvement tried in cheekpieces when winning a maiden hurdle at Tramore by 19l last time; effective 2m3f-2m6f with cut; more to come over hurdles for top yard. Made almost all to win a 2m5f maiden at Tramore, Jack Kennedy on Sept Etoiles.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 +13%) Daydream Nation	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Daydream Nation 7/1, Ran to form when finishing 2 1/2l third in a novice hurdle at Newbury on his most recent start. Effective around 2m4f with cut, and appears in good form, so can go well again. Point and maiden hurdle winner, respectable run in a novice contest at Newbury last month.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 -50%) Sept Etoiles	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(5) Sept Etoiles 9/2, Yard has won 3 of last 8 runnings of race; improved upped in trip when winning a maiden hurdle at Down Royal by 1 1/4l last time; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts on Y; capable of better for top yard. Stuck to his task well when scoring at Down Royal, staying type, can raise his game.

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

SEPT ETOILES progressed from his debut run and appreciated the step up to 2m4f when taking a Down Royal maiden. The son of Doctor Dino should relish this extra quarter-mile and has plenty of scope for further improvement. Espresso Milan showed promise in bumpers for Fergal O'Brien and made a successful start over hurdles for his current yard in a 2m Punchestown maiden. He's bred to appreciate this test of stamina and rates a greater threat than Daydream Nation, who won in decisive fashion at Gowran and was placed at Newbury last month.

The momentum of the campaign seems to be shifting in favour of Willie Mullins. ESPRESSO MILAN may get the better of Sept Etoiles

1	1 1st (1) (7/5 +38%) Salver	1.4 7/5(+38%)	(1) Salver 7/5, Travelled and ran to form when fourth, beaten 5 1/2l in the Kauto Star Novices' Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Effective from 2m to 3m and suited by plenty of cut; has a strong chance down in grade. Comfortably bagged Grade 2 honours at Sandown on penultimate start; leading player.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -100%) Doyen Quest	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Doyen Quest 12/1, Jumped boldly, big effort up in class under aggressive ride when second beaten 12l in Esher Novices' Chase (Grade 2) at Sandown latest; trainer in form; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by good ground; may have reached level over fences. Not disgraced at Sandown last time but looks held by Salver on that form.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 +14%) Laurens Bay	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Laurens Bay 12/1, Outpaced and made mistakes when third, beaten 16l, in the Esher Novices' Chase (Grade 2) at Sandown most recently. Effective from 2m4f to 3m, acts on soft and good ground; can race lazily and must improve his jumping. Latest effort (behind two of these rivals) leaves him with something to find.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +11%) Wade Out	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Wade Out 4/1, Improved, relishing step up in trip when winning Listed Novices' Chase at Cheltenham by 3 1/4l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on S, G; more to come over fences as a stayer. Record of 7-10 overall and 2-2 since switched to chasing (solid form); respected.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 +56%) Jeriko Du Reponet	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(4) Jeriko Du Reponet 7/2, Produced his best effort over fences when second, beaten 4 1/4l, in a beginners' chase at Wincanton last time. Effective from 2m2f to 3m, acts on soft and good to soft ground; yet to match his hurdle form but may do better when handicapping. Gives the impression he'll shine in handicaps at the big spring festivals.
6th	6 6th (6) (13/2 -160%) Moon Rocket	6.5 13/2(-160%)	(6) Moon Rocket 13/2, Ran to form and rallied gamely when second, beaten 1/2l, in a novice chase at Doncaster last time. Effective at 3m, acts on soft and good to soft ground; a useful chasing recruit who looks ready for this higher grade. Ran creditably in his bid for a Doncaster double; had Grade 2 form over hurdles.

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

All of these have claims, but marginal preference is for WADE OUT. The seven-year-old took a while to get going but ended up winning impressively at Cheltenham in November. With the prospect of further improvement likely, Olly Murphy's gelding appears to be the safest pick. The return to 3m will suit Jeriko Du Reponet and he should not be written off, despite two underwhelming efforts over fences this season. Moon Rocket and Salver are next best.

With further improvement still likely, MOON ROCKET is the selection on these terms. Wade Out and Salver are respected.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +38%) King Jon Oliver	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(3) King Jon Oliver 5/2, Ran to a similar level as on debut when second, beaten 6l, in a maiden hurdle at Tipperary last time. Returns from a break and is effective from 2m to 2m4f on good to yielding ground. Has a good chance on debut for his new yard. Placed in both his maiden hurdles when trained in Ireland; bought for £54,000.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/11 +18%) Clay Pigeons	0.363636 4/11(+18%)	(1) Clay Pigeons 4/11, Improved to defy a penalty when winning a bumper at Catterick by 3l last time. The trainer is in form and he is effective from 2m1f to 2m3f on yielding or good to soft ground. Much more to come for top connections now hurdling. Point and dual bumper winner; every chance of making a winning start over hurdles.
3	5 3rd (5) (20/1 -100%) Oneinthewell	20 20/1(-100%)	(5) Oneinthewell 20/1, From the yard that won this last year. Outpaced but ran to form and saw out the longer trip when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft or good to soft ground and may do better in handicaps. James Owen has yet to find the key to him and he was beaten off a modest mark last time.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 -50%) Masked Mistress	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Masked Mistress 12/1, Showed some promise on hurdles debut when third, beaten 4l, in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton last time. Usually held up and effective from 2m to 2m4f on soft or good ground. Improvement looks likely. Dual bumper winner and finished third in a small field on hurdle debut at Plumpton.
5th	4 5th (4) (66/1 -164%) Lawsky	66 66/1(-164%)	(4) Lawsky 66/1, From the yard that won this last year. Moderate debut when fourth, beaten 62l, in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m4f on soft ground but needs to show significant improvement. Quiet in two bumpers and same again on recent stable/hurdle debut at this venue.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 -50%) Kampari	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Kampari 150/1, Outclassed when finishing down the field in the King Edward VII Ascot Membership NH Flat Race (Listed) at Ascot most recently. Effective at around 2m on good ground but has plenty to prove now going hurdling. No closer than 22l in his four bumpers and tailed off in Listed events on last two starts.

King Jon Oliver finished a creditable second at Tipperary back in October and looks an interesting recruit for the Olly Murphy yard, but CLAY PIGEONS gets the vote. The six-year-old won a point-to-point before landing a pair of bumpers, the most recent at Catterick, and is likely to appreciate a switch to hurdles. He is Willie Mullins' first ever runner here and is unlikely to go home empty handed. Masked Mistress completes the shortlist.

One of two runners on the card for Willie Mullins, CLAY PIGEONS should be the answer if transferring his bumper form to hurdling.

Off a short break and effective from 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface. Former Grand Annual winner who appears better over fences.

Effective around 2m4f on a sound surface, and the jockey booking looks significant. Dual hurdles winner was moderate third on Flat when last seen; Kennedy 1-1 for trainer.

JAZZY MATTY was second in this race 12 months ago before landing the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival. The Cian Collins-trained gelding is undoubtedly better over fences, but he was a creditable fifth back at Cheltenham in October and remains on a reasonable mark. Eachtotheirown made all on his hurdling debut in a Galway maiden, but found Grade 2 company too hot subsequently at Fairyhouse. Immutable is a useful sort on the Flat and the Cork maiden hurdle winner has further scope for improvement over obstacles. Chichester Park scored over C&D last month and is another for the shortlist.

An immediate winner over hurdles, EACHTOTHEIROWN was too keen in the Royal Bond next time, but makes appeal here on handicap debut.

MIRABAD was well fancied on stable debut when pulling his chance away in the Greatwood before making a winning start in this discipline at Exeter. He then wasn't disgraced when third behind Mambonumberfive in the Wayward Lad at Kempton and the switch to handicap company gives him a suitable opportunity to get his head back in front. Highlands Legacy could be the main threat, although Torneo should not be discounted.

With further progress still plausible, HIGHLANDS LEGACY is taken to confirm recent Newbury placings with Torneo.

APPLES MOON was progressive last season and has continued in that vein of form with victories at Exeter and Wincanton. Nicky Martin's mare has a 5lb rise to contend with, but the manner of her performances suggest there could be more in the locker. Fellow hat-trick seeker Princess Keri went up 7lb after scoring at Ludlow in November, although Ned Fox's 5lb claim negates most of that. She has to be respected along with Looking As You Are, who may have found the ground too lively at Windsor.

The suggestion is MISS CYNTHIA, who might have needed last month's seasonal debut and remains open to improvement for her new stable.

JADE DE GRUGY was high-class over hurdles, winning twice at Grade 1 level including at Punchestown last May, and has performed with credit since going over fences this season. She has come up against some smart mares and put in an improved round of jumping when runner-up to The Big Westerner over an extended 2m6f at the Limerick Christmas meeting. Tareze won twice over hurdles, including a Listed race at Navan, and the point-to-point winner had Stormalong and Femme Magnifique both behind when runner-up to better-fancied stablemate July Flower over fences at Limerick. Ad Caelum is another to consider for minor honours.

This looks straightforward for JADE DE GRUGY. Despite her status as beaten favourite at Limerick, her showing marked an improvement

Lud'or was very impressive on his return to action at Bangor before acquitting himself with plenty of credit in third when sent off favourite at Newbury. He does need to prove his stamina for 3m, so ROYAL RAMBLER gets the vote. Emma Lavelle's charge finished sixth in the aforementioned Newbury contest before improving plenty for going up in trip when runner-up at Chepstow. That was a career-best effort and a 4lb rise doesn't appear likely to stop him from taking another step forward. Nab Wood, Tranquil Sea and Keable appeal most of the remainder.

With further progress on the cards kept to this sort of trip, ROYAL RAMBLER (nap) is preferred. Lud'or is second pick.

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE stepped forward from her return to action at Windsor when running out a 21-length winner over C&D just before Christmas. If in the same sort of form, the 10-year-old may prove a tough nut to crack. Sainte Doctor won here last February before going on to score twice more, and she ran with huge credit off this mark at Cheltenham in April. Overabottleofred and It's Easy appear best of the remainder.

In this series final, the mare with a touch of class about her is SAINTE DOCTOR, who was in good form when last seen last spring.

Effective from 2m to 3m on a sound surface but has something to prove at present. Won two h'cap chases over summer; return to this trip can help after 3m runs last twice.

Effective around 2m to 2m4f and handles soft ground. Has dropped to an attractive mark but must rebound from latest effort. No wins since Jan' 2024 but good placed runs in Dec'; below that level last time.

Effective from 2m4f to 3m and handles any ground, though remains an unreliable performer. Below best in points this term, but third here last time was step in right direction.
8th	1 8th (1) (8/1 +33%) Meet And Greet	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Meet And Greet 8/1, Had every chance and improved from his debut but finished well below his hurdle form when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Naas last time.

Effective from 2m to 2m7f, best over longer trips, and handles soft and good ground. Needs to find more. Consistent over fences this term, inc' one win; h'cap chase debutante.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (40/1 -100%) Individualiste	40 40/1(-100%)	(5) Individualiste 40/1, May have found the ground too testing and was unsuited by the drop in trip when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Navan last time. Usually held up and effective from 2m4f to 3m on yielding or good ground. Needs to bounce back. Four-time winner has been way below his best in recent times; best watched.

BRAVE FORTUNE was beaten 30 lengths on his most recent start, but that was his stable debut and also a first run for 187 days so it is hoped he can step forward considerably. A course winner over hurdles, he is capable on his day and ran well at Tipperary last May before scoring at Roscommon. That Tipperary race has worked out extremely well and a return to slightly better ground will be a big help. Rising Dust incurred a second 15lb hike in the weights for his second successive chase win here last month and now drops in distance. Battle Of Mirbat has been running well in the main and is another to consider.

Up 15lb after an easy win last time, Rising Dust will be popular but perhaps A WAVE OF THE SEA can down him back at his best trip

Produced a huge effort when third, beaten 4 1/4l, in a Cheltenham handicap chase on his return under a big weight. Trainer in form; consistent veteran effective from 2m4f to 3m on heavy or good ground. Bolted up in this race last year and positive performance on reappearance in November.

Previously in good form and effective from 2m4f to 3m5f, best at staying trips on soft or good ground, but faces a tough task here. Has won some nice prizes but soundly beaten in Coral Gold Cup and has something to find.

Effective at 2m4f and barely gets 3m; handles any ground but looks up against it in this field. Won veterans' chase at Cheltenham in November but looks vulnerable in today's company.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +33%) Matata	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Matata 3/1, Keen but returned to form under a more restrained ride off a strong pace when winning the Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase at Cheltenham by 9 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m to 2m4f and handles any ground, though stamina over this trip remains unproven. Won handicap over Cheltenham's stiff, extended 2m4f on New Year's Day; entitled to respect.

Last year's winner PROTEKTORAT showed the fire still burns strongly when producing a terrific effort under a big weight for third at Cheltenham in November. Over a trip that may have been considered too far beforehand, he kept on gamely and the conditions of this race suit him ideally. Ben Pauling retains plenty of faith in Handstands, who ran well for a long way in the Betfair Chase, although giving 8lb to the selection will be a tough ask. Matata proved he is finally tractable enough up in trip when impressing at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and a repeat of that performance would put him right in contention.

Last year's runaway winner PROTEKTORAT gets in off 8lb lighter this time around and could be tough to beat. Handstands is feared.

Course winner over hurdles; no surprise if he bounces back to form today.

Having capitalised on a career-low mark at Southwell, it could be worth keeping FLASH IN THE PARK on side. The eight-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 5lb higher mark is surmountable and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Little Wren has been disappointing since entering handicap company, but she might find some improvement now debuting over fences. Dan Skelton's mare is feared most, ahead of the returning As Tears Go By.

The answer might be CRAC DE MEGAUDAIS, who was a wide-margin hurdle winner on his only previous visit to Fakenham.

Grand veteran APPRECIATE IT has a difficult task at these weights, but won last year's renewal and is retaining his form. Winner of the 2021 Supreme Novices' Hurdle, he was winless for two years prior to scoring 12 months ago and finished last term with a good effort at Sandown. Although now 12, his November course form reads well as he conceded 10lb to the winner, who subsequently landed the Savills Chase. Stablemate and top-rated James Du Berlais ran satisfactorily when last of three at Ascot and is ideally suited by this distance. Gentleman De Mee is closely matched with the selection on Sandown form and is worth a look.

Having beaten two shorter-priced stablemates in this last year, APPRECIATE IT would seem like a worthy favourite this time

Special John continued on his upward trajectory when completing a double at Wincanton and he must enter calculations off 5lb higher. However, this step into class 3 company asks for more and it could be worth chancing DE LEGISLATOR. The lightly-raced nine-year-old was far from disgraced when third in the Scottish Borders National and won't be found wanting for stamina. Holokea and Jupiter Des Bordes are feasible alternatives.

Last year's winner PLANNED PARADISE is now 7lb lower and there were some encouraging signs over an inadequate 2m4f last month.

Representing Willie Mullins, LULTIMATOM is likely to prove a warm order as part of the Irish maestro's first raiding party at this venue. The five-year-old was a ready winner between the flags and finished a respectable fifth in a deeper bumper at Fairyhouse in November, so any improvement should make him tough to beat. Current Edition wasn't disgraced on his Rules bow at Warwick and may give the selection more to think about than Eastern Fire.

Impressive point winner LULTIMATOM is open to improvement on his second bumper start and gets the nod for Willie and Patrick Mullins.

Decent handicap form, has adapted well to pointing, collateral form favours Willitgoahead.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -10%) Bartlemy Boy	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Bartlemy Boy 11/1, Below form when comfortably held in an open point at Dromahane last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time. Effective around 3m with cut and respected back in a hunter chase. Generally reliable performer in points, had Panda Boy back in third for his latest win.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 -20%) Bold Fury	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Bold Fury 12/1, Seemingly improved when beaten 5l in the Hunters Chase at Down Royal last time. Effective from 2m3f to 3m, prefers decent ground; needs more but is capable of finding it. Not far behind Willitgoahead when fifth at Down Royal last time, unlikely to reverse form.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (28/1 -75%) Catalani	28 28/1(-75%)	(9) Catalani 28/1, Travelled, promising bumper debut a length third in a bumper at Fairyhouse most recent run; effective 2m-3m on Hy, G; brings significant potential to hunter chases. Progressive when scoring twice at the start of the autumn campaign, outpaced in a bumper.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (5/2 +17%) Willitgoahead	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(7) Willitgoahead 5/2, Won this last year; ran to form when second beaten a length in the Hunters Chase at Down Royal latest; effective 3m-3m2f, acts on GS, G; leading claims again. Sets the standard on last season's Cheltenham third, back near his best at Down Royal.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (22/1 -57%) Big Interest	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Big Interest 22/1, From a yard that has won three of the last five renewals; unseated in a ladies open point at Turtulla last time. Effective at 3m and acts on soft and good ground. Inconsistent under rules but capable at this level. Looked capable of becoming a major force last season, seems undependable at this stage.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 -150%) The Rebel County	40 40/1(-150%)	(6) The Rebel County 40/1, Unseated when the race was developing in a hunter chase at Stratford last time. Effective between 2m4f and 3m, acts on soft and good ground; has a chance here. Promising youngster in this sphere, lacks a recent run, tough task in this company.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (80/1 -60%) Sampoet	80 80/1(-60%)	(12) Sampoet 80/1, From a yard that has won three of the last five runnings; pulled up in an open point at Loughrea last time. Returning from a break and effective at 3m; needs to bounce back. Only one win from 16 starts in points, pulled up in two races in October, makes no appeal.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (200/1 -203%) Fakiera	200 200/1(-203%)	(10) Fakiera 200/1, Pulled up in an open point for novice riders at Ballindenisk last time. Effective around 3m with cut; once classy but hard to fancy on current evidence. Winning hurdler, weak form over fences, failed to complete his last three races in points..
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (200/1 -100%) Temptationinmilan	200 200/1(-100%)	(13) Temptationinmilan 200/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 15l, in an open point for novice riders at Ballindenisk last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective at 3m with cut and will need that aid to help. off for ten months before a recent point-to-point run, tough task in this company..

WILLITGOAHEAD won last year's renewal of this race and had a good recent run at Down Royal. A capable type who finished third at the Cheltenham Festival, he is ideally suited by a sound surface and while he disappointed at both Aintree and Punchestown at the end of last season, he bounced back over Christmas when second to another top hunter. Lifetime Ambition finished third in the Aintree Foxhunters' and although now 11, he has held his form and won well at Turtulla in November. Solitary Man is a nice recruit to hunter chasing and has done well in recent point-to-points.

Lasy year's winner WILLITGOAHEAD has developed into one of the top performers in this category and can repeat that success

1	7 1st (7) (5/1 0%) St James's Finest	5 5/1(0%)	(7) St James's Finest 5/1, Some promise on debut when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l, in a bumper at Chepstow; trainer in form; off a short break; effective at 2m1f on soft ground; should improve. Solid fourth at Chepstow where a couple of subsequent winners filled the first two places.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/1 -33%) Ti'mamzel	4 4/1(-33%)	(9) Ti'mamzel 4/1, Green under pressure but very promising debut when winning by 1 1/2l in the Henrietta Knight Mares' Open NH Flat Race (Listed) at Huntingdon; effective at 2m and acts on soft ground; looks useful and worth a step up in class. Overcame greenness to make a winning debut in Listed race at Huntingdon; promising mare.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +17%) Eustace Grenier	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Eustace Grenier 10/1, Outpaced, flew home, too much to do when 6 1/4l fourth in a bumper at Southwell first-time out; off a short-break; effective 2m on S; should come on plenty for initial experience. Shaped promisingly with running-on fourth of 11 at Southwell.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 -31%) Old Clayesmorian	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(3) Old Clayesmorian 17/2, Promising debut and strong at the finish when winning by 2 1/2l in an Amateurs' bumper at Warwick; effective over 2m on good to soft ground; looks useful. Emulated siblings by winning on debut but those relatives failed to follow up next time.
5th	2 5th (2) (13/2 -30%) Canty's Cove	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(2) Canty's Cove 13/2, Promising debut when winning a bumper at Taunton by 2 1/4l last time; off a short break; effective at 2m1f on good to firm ground; more to come but ground unknown. Justified favouritism at Taunton on the switch to rules; form franked by runner-up since.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/4 +33%) Tally Ho Back	1.5 6/4(+33%)	(8) Tally Ho Back 6/4, Improved when second, beaten a length, in the King Edward VII Ascot Membership NH Flat Race (Listed) at Ascot; effective over 2m and acts on good to soft ground; debut form franked and should win soon. Stepped up on debut 4th when strong-finishing 2nd in Listed Ascot race since; can go well.

TI'MAMZEL, who was purchased for 30,000 euros as a yearling and resold for 105,000 as a three-year-old, made a very pleasing start by winning a Listed event at Huntingdon last month. Despite picking up a 4lb penalty, her mares' allowance is a useful aid now she tackles geldings. Another step forward can see her notch back-to-back successes. Tally Ho Back's surprise second-placed finish in a deeper race at Ascot reads well and he is feared most, ahead of Warwick winner Old Clayesmorian.

A good bumper features the promising Listed winner TI'MAMZEL, who takes on some promising rivals, best of whom may be Tally Ho Back.

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.

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.
