Trainer is in form, effective at 2m on yielding ground, and should improve plenty for a top yard. Unbeaten in French bumpers; no match for Ballyfad on stable debut; can make amends.
2	10 2nd (10) (3/1 +10%) Straight John	3 3/1(+10%)	(10) Straight John 3/1, Made a promising debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown. Tongue-tie is applied for the first time, has been effective at 2m with cut, and should improve for a top yard. Not disgraced on debut at Leopardstown; can get involved with normal improvement.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 +9%) Laxxio	10 10/1(+9%)	(6) Laxxio 10/1, Showed a big improvement when fourth, beaten 25l, in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective at around 2m1f with cut in the ground and there may be more to come. Faller on debut when well beaten in race Leader d'Allier was runner-up; 25l 4th last time.
4	14 4th (14) (50/1 -100%) Cherry Pink	50 50/1(-100%)	(14) Cherry Pink 50/1, Bit below form when beaten 4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time. Effective up to 11f on the Flat, but looks difficult to fancy on her hurdles debut. Five-time Flat winner is rated 64 in that sphere; others preferred.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -29%) Cloudio	18 18/1(-29%)	(2) Cloudio 18/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a bumper at Fairyhouse last time. Returns from a short break and has been effective at around 2m3f, so may do better now switching to hurdles. Point winner (runner-up won subsequently); second on bumper debut but tailed off latest.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +60%) Eyetrap	16 16/1(+60%)	(3) Eyetrap 16/1, Below form and did not stay when finishing down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recently. Effective at 2m and has handled heavy ground, with the type to do better when handicapping. Record of 2-7 on Flat; well beaten in m'den hurdles and on AW latest; more time needed.
7th	1 7th (1) (200/1 +20%) Boston Fire	200 200/1(+20%)	(1) Boston Fire 200/1, No worthwhile form to date and has plenty to prove for now. All recent efforts have been modest and he looks up against it at this stage, with low-grade handicaps likely to be more suitable in time. Failed to complete two points; same story on Rules bow; SU last time when always behind.
8th	11 8th (11) (200/1 -100%) Woodie Campelltown	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Woodie Campelltown 200/1, Made a poor rules debut when finishing down the field in a bumper at Wexford last time. Has been effective at 3m in points, but a fair bit of improvement is needed here. Runner-up in only completed point; tailed off on Rules bow; unlikely..
9th	16 9th (16) (200/1 -203%) Sylkie	200 200/1(-203%)	(16) Sylkie 200/1, Never involved from off the pace when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Looks the type to do better once switched to handicaps. Three-time winner on Flat at Galway; tailed off on hurdles debut latest.
10th	4 10th (4) (50/1 -25%) Fulminis Instar	50 50/1(-25%)	(4) Fulminis Instar 50/1, Pulled up in a maiden at Dromahane on his latest start and returns from a long absence. Faces a stiff task on his rules debut and will need to show marked improvement. Still in contention on point debut when falling but PU on better ground next time; watch.
11th	13 11th (13) (125/1 -89%) Banphrionsa Alainn	125 125/1(-89%)	(13) Banphrionsa Alainn 125/1, Pether's Moon mare; half-sister to Grove Ash, moderate at 19f; not an easy one to fancy on debut. Half-sister to two winners; can improve for this debut.
12th	15 12th (15) (200/1 +20%) Question Asked	200 200/1(+20%)	(15) Question Asked 200/1, Ran poorly when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel on her only start so far. Needs to show much more and may require this run. Sent off 100-1 for hurdles debut 18 days ago and ran like it; hard to recommend.
13th	12 13th (12) (200/1 +0%) Zarushio	200 200/1(+0%)	(12) Zarushio 200/1, Made a moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse. That was his only start so far and he may need more time before showing his best form. Tailed off on debut at Fairyhouse at 200-1; ruled out.
14th	5 14th (5) (200/1 +20%) Jetstream Jeff	200 200/1(+20%)	(5) Jetstream Jeff 200/1, Has shown no worthwhile form so far and there is plenty to prove on what he has achieved. Likely to need more time and may be better suited to handicaps further down the line. Failed to complete opening points and tailed off on hurdling debut; unlikely..

LEADER D'ALLIER won five bumpers in France and was sent off a warm favourite on his hurdle debut at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting when beating all bar Ballyfad with Straight John over four lengths behind in sixth. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding should benefit from that experience and can go one better. The latter was making his racecourse debut on that occasion and is entitled to improve from that display. Maxfort made a pleasing start to his career when placed behind the selection's stablemate The Reverend at Cork earlier this month, while point-to-point winner Cloudio was second in a strong Cork bumper last spring and is an interesting recruit to hurdles.

LEADER D'ALLIER was a three-time French bumper winner and can gain his first win on Irish soil following a second on hurdles debut

13:20 Plumpton (Class 4) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/10 +8%) Quay Item	1.1 11/10(+8%)	(6) Quay Item 11/10, Outpaced but showed promise when beaten 8l into third on debut in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster. Back from a short break, effective at 2m4f on good to soft ground, and there is more to come from this top-yard runner. Made a promising start for the stable when third on hurdle debut; leading player.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/8 +7%) Catch On Me	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(3) Catch On Me 13/8, Ran to form when beaten 3l into third over a longer trip in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective between 2m and 2m4f on ground with cut, and has been competitive since moving from France. Improved switched to a handicap latest and a leading contender back in maiden company..
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 -83%) Lola De Magny	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Lola De Magny 22/1, Improved when winning a maiden point by 1 1/2l at Ballycrystal last time. Returns from a break, is a point winner, and has since joined a yard that does well at this venue. Irish point winner and one to watch in the market on hurdle debut..
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -9%) Lirone Du Seuil	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) Lirone Du Seuil 12/1, Made a modest debut when well beaten in the Introductory Hurdle at Wetherby. Returns from a short break and is effective around 2m2f on very soft ground, so should be capable of better for a leading yard. Ex-French; disappointing on British debut but in excellent hands and may now do better..
5th	1 5th (1) (9/2 +25%) Alan Bresil	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(1) Alan Bresil 9/2, Below form when fourth, beaten 19l, over an increased trip in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time. Effective at 2m5f on good ground, but this looks easier and may suit handicaps later. Made low-key handicap debut but may do better dropping in trip with new headgear..
6th	2 6th (2) (125/1 -56%) Blazing Saint	125 125/1(-56%)	(2) Blazing Saint 125/1, Outpaced and well beaten on his only start in a maiden hurdle at Hereford. The debut effort was modest and he has plenty to prove based on that performance. Well-related 5yo but beaten 77l on hurdle debut and looks one for the longer term..
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (100/1 -355%) Willshebe Court	100 100/1(-355%)	(8) Willshebe Court 100/1, Outpaced and failed to build on debut when finishing well down the field in a mares' bumper here last time. The trainer is in form, and while a longer trip could suit on hurdle debut, improvement is required. Well held in two bumpers and needs to improve for the step up in trip on hurdle debut..
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (100/1 +0%) Hialeah	100 100/1(+0%)	(4) Hialeah 100/1, Did not find much on debut when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Lingfield. Returns from a short break and was regressive on the Flat, leaving plenty to prove now switching to hurdles. Modest Flat maiden who showed little on November's hurdle debut..

Keep an eye on Alan Bresil now connections try their gelding in first-time cheekpieces, but CATCH ON ME is the one to beat. Despite a pretty quiet season by Venetia Williams' standards, her gelding won't get many better opportunities than this and it was a lot better last time out in a Uttoxeter handicap. Quay Item is another to take seriously.

6yo CATCH ON ME shaped with definite promise on last month's reappearance and looks the one to beat with that run behind him.

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (8/1 +50%) Sopelana	8 8/1(+50%)	(4) Sopelana 8/1, Ran to form when well beaten in the QuinnBet Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Limerick on her latest start. Effective at 2m on heavy and good ground, and in fair form over hurdles. C&D winner, out of depth twice since, this easier but more needed in new headgear combo.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/4 +9%) Bibe Mus	1.25 5/4(+9%)	(1) Bibe Mus 5/4, Yard has won last two runnings of race; ran to form when second beaten 5l in Wirral Juvenile Hurdle (Listed) at Aintree latest; effective at 2m, acts on S; chance in this. Gowran maiden winner, runner up in Aintree listed juvenile latest, respected on h'cap bow.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 +64%) Rua Mor	12 12/1(+64%)	(6) Rua Mor 12/1, Did not get home when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on his latest run. Effective at 2m and may do better now he moves into handicap company. Well held in three maidens including one here, likely best watched on handicap debut.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -43%) Ahellofaman	40 40/1(-43%)	(7) Ahellofaman 40/1, Ran to form when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Returns from a short break, is effective around 2m, and may do better now handicapping. Well held in bumper and three maiden hurdles, can only be watched on h'cap debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/2 +54%) Kasper Hauser	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(5) Kasper Hauser 11/2, Poorly placed off steady pace in race dominated from front when beaten 4l off this mark here last time; effective 2m, acts on S and G; good mark on maiden form, worth another chance in handicaps. Not beaten far on handicap debut here latest, this shorter trip a plus, could go well.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/3 -11%) Crooked Path	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(3) Crooked Path 10/3, Ran to form when second, beaten 9l, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective at 2m with cut in the ground and on good going, and can go well again. Maiden form ties in with Bibe Mus and Kibris, 7lb claimer on for h'cap bow, can't discount.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (8/1 -129%) Kibris	8 8/1(-129%)	(2) Kibris 8/1, Ran to form 14l third in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent run; top course trainer; stays 2m, acts on S and G; likely improver now handicapping. Promise in all three maidens, opening mark looks fair, go well with jockey claiming 5lb.

The familiar colours of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede are doubly represented here and riding arrangements suggest BIBE MUS is preferred of the pair. The Camelot gelding beat Crooked Path in a Gowran maiden in October and has been placed on both outings since, including when runner-up to Lord in an Aintree Listed race. This represents a drop in class and he gets the vote over Kibris, who won a Curragh maiden on debut as a juvenile but is without a win in three outings over hurdles. Kasper Hauser has plenty of jumping experience and is weighted to reverse previous Cork places with Crooked Path.

KASPER HAUSER wasn't beaten that far on handicap debut over 19.5f here two weeks ago and this shorter trip should suit

1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +0%) Eddie My Eagle	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Eddie My Eagle 4/1, Improved from debut when second, beaten 2l, in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Off a short break, effective at 2m on S and GF, though the form had knocks. Has reached the frame on both runs over hurdles and worth considering with more to come..
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 0%) Looping D'arc	2.5 5/2(0%)	(2) Looping D'arc 5/2, Refused in a novice hurdle at Hereford latest after a debut victory. Effective at 2m on GS and bumper form looks strong, so he should progress over hurdles with more experience. Pulled up when hanging badly latest but looked promising prior to that; respected..
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +58%) Land Of Punt	14 14/1(+58%)	(6) Land Of Punt 14/1, Green and made mistakes but improved a little from debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Hereford last time. Off a short break and point form suggests further than 2m will suit. Well beaten on both previous runs over hurdles and looks one for the longer term..
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 +0%) Ambiente Friendly	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(1) Ambiente Friendly 5/2, Far too free and stopped quickly after bad late errors when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Huntingdon last time. Effective at 2m on S and G, and the former Derby runner-up should have more to offer over hurdles. High-class Flat performer who has taken well to hurdles; key player back in a novice..
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 -60%) Northwest Passage	12 12/1(-60%)	(9) Northwest Passage 12/1, Green and made mistakes on a modest debut when well beaten in a juvenile hurdle at Newbury last time. Had been in good form prior, is effective at 2m and progressive on the Flat, but may need more time over hurdles. Well held on last month's hurdle debut, but there were some positives and he can improve..
6th	5 6th (5) (40/1 +20%) Golden Prince	40 40/1(+20%)	(5) Golden Prince 40/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Haydock last time. Acts on S but may want further than this 2m trip. Irish point third is strong form but he's disappointed so so far in bumper/over hurdles..
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -567%) Canopus	40 40/1(-567%)	(8) Canopus 40/1, Far too free in front and stopped quickly when well beaten in a maiden at Nottingham last time. Had been in good form prior, is returning from a break and yard does well with similar types; of interest. Fair Flat maiden who is of interest making hurdle debut for a respected stable..
8th	3 8th (3) (150/1 -50%) Back On Track	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Back On Track 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Warwick last time. Showed some promise in point-to-points but has plenty to prove under Rules. Pulled up on last month's hurdle debut and others have more obvious claims..

AMBIENTE FRIENDLY finished runner-up in the 2024 Derby and must have a big chance here if punters can look past one lacklustre effort in a Huntingdon handicap last time. Before that, he won in this company on soft ground and the second has recently franked the form by winning impressively at Lingfield. He makes more appeal than Looping D'arc and Reteti.

Looping d'Arc is feared, but marginal preference is for AMBIENTE FRIENDLY who is a key player back in novice company.

Effective at 3m in point-to-points on soft and good to soft ground, and looks a type to do better when handicapping. Dual point winner in February/March but well held on both starts over hurdles..
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -43%) Handin Manypockets	5 5/1(-43%)	(4) Handin Manypockets 5/1, Made a promising debut under rules when fourth, beaten 10l, in a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Effective over 2m4f on good ground and should improve for that experience. Made a promising start to his hurdles career when fourth at Cheltenham this month..

Just 1lb separates DRACO MALFOY and Big Ticket on official ratings. The latter is favoured in receipt of 7lb but there have to be reservations given that he was pulled up latest, so Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls' charge is fancied to come out on top. He hit the woodwork under a penalty at Doncaster but had excelled on soft ground prior and that could be crucial today. Handin Manypockets can chase the pair home.

This looks likely to develop into a match and preference is for DRACO MALFOY to return to winning ways at the expense of Big Ticket.

Cheekpieces are tried for the first time and she may do better now hurdling. Placed in point and opening bumpers; questions to answer after well beaten last time.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/4 -13%) Miss Doyenne	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(9) Miss Doyenne 9/4, Improved on switching to hurdles when beaten 3l into third in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and is a likeable sort who appeals plenty. Point and bumper winner likely to improve from hurdles debut when fading late; player.
4	12 4th (12) (15/2 -15%) Shadys Lady	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(12) Shadys Lady 15/2, Finished below her bumper level when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Effective at 2m and is surely better than she showed on hurdles debut. Good bumper form but was 30l behind on hurdles debut last time; capable of better.

Returns from a short break and may do better when switching to handicaps. Best of maiden runs came here on debut (2m4f), but was 32l behind all the same; unlikely.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +43%) Courtmac Gesture	16 16/1(+43%)	(3) Courtmac Gesture 16/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel on her latest start. Returns from a short break and is effective at 2m; has a chance if none the worse for that fall. Steadily improved RPRS in bumpers but fell on hurdling debut; place chance.
7th	5 7th (5) (250/1 -213%) Forever And A Day	250 250/1(-213%)	(5) Forever And A Day 250/1, Eliot mare; half-sister to Alltalknoaction, moderate at 20f; doesn't appeal too much on debut with the experience likely to be needed. Distant relation to Grand National winner Hedgehunter; unlikely to make immediate impact.
8th	4 8th (4) (14/1 -56%) Doing It In Style	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Doing It In Style 14/1, Fell in a graduation hurdle here last time. Effective around 2m and looks the type to do better once going handicapping. Some ability in bumpers and positive efforts over hurdles recently; stable back in form.

Effective at 2m2f and should improve now switching to hurdles. Shaped with promise on bumper debut here and place chance if taking to hurdles first time.
11th	7 11th (7) (100/1 +20%) Lady Aquarelle	100 100/1(+20%)	(7) Lady Aquarelle 100/1, Managed to complete for the first time in a maiden point last time. No worthwhile form to her name and, returning from a short break, faces a tough task on rules debut. Fell on opening two points before beaten 30l last time; that form shouldn't be good enough.
12th	13 12th (13) (150/1 -127%) Starski	150 150/1(-127%)	(13) Starski 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on her latest run. Looks to need more time but is with a good yard. Never better than midfield before PU when saddle slipped on debut (80-1); unlikely.

BLUE VELVET won a Thurles bumper last season and made a pleasing reappearance over hurdles when runner-up to better fancied stablemate Espresso Milan over 2m here last month. The winner has franked the form since and this daughter of Blue Bresil has plenty of scope for improvement. Miss Doyenne has a similar profile to the selection and looks an obvious threat. The point-to-point winner beat Torpille Dagrostis in a Cork bumper last April and was also placed on her hurdles debut last month over 2m4f at Down Royal. Shadys Lady beat Torpille Dagrostis by 10 lengths in a Naas bumper but was soundly beaten on her hurdling bow at the same venue.

There's substance to BLUE VELVET (nap)'s form and he can build on his runner-up finish behind Espresso Milan on hurdles debut to win

Effective at around 2 1/2m and her debut effort was strong. A big chance off generous mark based on hurdles form. Was running a big race when falling three out on chasing debut at Exeter last month..
2	1 2nd (1) (7/4 -92%) Superstylin	1.75 7/4(-92%)	(1) Superstylin 7/4, Did it cosily but beat very little when landing a handicap by 19l at Fontwell last time, off a 5lb lower mark.

SUPERSTYLIN should prove tough to beat in this handicap chase. He gained the success his previous form deserved at Fontwell on Boxing Day and he's performed well at this track before. Sanitiser needs a bit more but has the form in the book to at least keep the selection honest, while Sea Thrift could be the one for third place.

Superstylin has already won twice over fences this term but it may be worth taking him on with SEA THRIFT.

FOLLOWCATO has really gotten the hang of things over fences lately, winning at Ludlow before following up in cosy fashion at Exeter. Ben Pauling's gelding is only 6lb higher and with further progress likely, he is taken to land the hat-trick. Ski Lodge continues to knock at the door and is unlikely to be far away, whilst Risk De Pluie should benefit from a return to further.

This looks to be a good opportunity for SKI LODGE (nap) to get off the mark over fences at the chief expense of Followcato.

THE PASSING WIFE hails from a yard returning to form and was a smart sort in bumpers, winning three times. The selection has taken well to hurdles this term notably finishing best of all when third to Koktail Brut in the Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse. He was soundly beaten in a Grade 1 last time but will appreciate this drop in class and should be suited by the step up in trip. Doctor Du Mesnil impressed when beating Thedeviluno by 11 lengths on debut in a Cork bumper last April and was narrowly denied when switched to hurdles at Leopardstown last month. Springhill Warrior had Atlantic Gamble over 20 lengths behind when second here last time.

This looks a gilt edged opportunity for THE PASSING WIFE to get his head in front

Good To Be Alive has been running well without getting his head in front on both starts in handicap company and a stiffer track may play to the strengths of Olly Murphy's gelding. Lucky Manifest didn't appear to stay 3m when sent off favourite at Cheltenham and commands plenty of respect back over a more suitable trip, but the vote goes to IKE SPORT. The eight-year-old wasn't at all disgraced when finishing sixth in the Lanzarote at Kempton earlier in the month and he has every chance off the same mark.

Good To Be Alive is feared but IKE SPORT (nap) has returned to form of late and can appreciate this ease in grade.

ROYAL MER has found it difficult to get his head in front for some time now but it hasn't been for the want of trying. The son of Montmartre had the measure of Passing Kate (fifth) and Wewillgowithplanb (eighth) at Exeter. There are questions mark over the remaining pair too, so with Rian Corcaran removing a handy 7lb this looks a fine opportunity. Hors Jeu was by no means out of it when unseating at Lingfield last month and he could be the biggest threat.

The safest option here is five-time chase winner ROYAL MER who finished ahead of Passing Kate (second choice) last time.

I'M SLIPPY won a valuable bumper on debut at last year's Fairyhouse Easter meeting and easily landed the odds when switched to hurdles at Cork in November. The Robert Tyner-trained gelding was no match for Talk The Talk subsequently at Fairyhouse but that form was put in perspective when the winner looked set to follow up in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown only to fall at the last. Point-to-point winner Spinningayarn took a Navan bumper on his Rules debut and made all last time for a decisive victory in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. Holy See is another to watch out for.

An interesting contest. PARNELL STREET already has a victory over Spinningayarn off level weights and may confirm the form

EITHER OR tried chasing on her return to action at Warwick before switching straight back to the smaller obstacles and winning on her first attempt over 3m at Doncaster. Unexposed over staying distances, a 5lb rise appears unlikely to stop Nicky Henderson's mare from taking another step forward. Tankardstown Diva returns to hurdling after falling at Fakenham just before Christmas and is noted along with Getaway Theatre.

Either Or has staying potential but GETAWAY THEATRE is thoroughly proven under the conditions and looks a safer bet.

Five wins for new yard in the autumn, including over C&D; below best in 3 of last 4 runs.

Only a tentative vote can go to GEORGES SAINT. The 10-year-old hinted at a revival when third at Warwick on New Year's Eve and is likely to go close if able to build on that performance. Minella Blueway didn't make it past the first fence at Ascot but drops in class and is appealing nonetheless, while it would be dangerous to rule out Shantou Lucky, who won over C&D as recently as November.

The recent rain will play in GEORGES SAINT's favour and there is less guesswork about him than any of his three rivals.

C&D winner East Tyrone and Up The Monk are in good enough form to suggest they should play their part in the finish, but MASTER DANDY is the one. Billy Loughnane keeps the ride following last week's 5f triumph here and the manner of that success gives hope that the step back up to 6f will prove no issue. Koji is noted too.

The race didn't really go EAST TYRONE's way at Lingfield last time out but he had taken well to this C&D the time before.

STATTLER, who won the National Hunt Chase at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival and runner-up in the 2023 Irish Gold Cup when at his peak for Willie Mullins, is very hard to ignore on his debut in a hunters' chase. The obvious concern is the 653-day absence since he last saw competitive action. However, given that last appearance came in the 2024 Grand National, it's safe to say this level is readily eclipsed by his usual standard. Quel Destin's form under Rules is respected and he is suggested as the biggest danger. Snipe is a logical alternative.

Providing he retains a good chunk of his ability after a long absence, STATTLER should take all the beating on his hunter chase debut.

COMEONARCHIE seems best with plenty of cut in the ground and was fitted with cheekpieces for the first time when making all over a similar trip here last month. He still appears reasonably treated off just a 5lb higher mark and gets the vote over fellow nine-year-old One Horse Army. The latter showed stamina is his strong suit when scoring twice over fences last term and had a couple of these rivals behind when a creditable fifth over hurdles at Limerick last time. Nettuno Italia can also get competitive.

The vote goes to dual chase winner ONE HORSE ARMY, who runs off a 19lb lower mark in this sphere and will be suited by this distance

FRANK STAMPER has shown a glimmer of ability in a couple of juvenile hurdles so far but, switched to handicaps for the first time, we may now see much better from him. Andy Irvine saddles two in Ephyra and Suzy Wood, both of whom will need to be monitored in the betting, and Warwick maiden winner Our Papa Smurf could bounce back.

This looks to be a weak contest but one that could show more on his handicap debut is FRANK STAMPER. Suzy Wood is the main danger.

PORFIN got back to winning ways at Lingfield recently and wasn't winning out of turn judged on his previous third at the same venue. Switching to this track is no issue for the past C&D winner and the advice is to stick with him for now. Nordic Glory is noted following a solid second here latest and Okami also makes some appeal.

Top of the list is OKAMI, who made it 2-4 for Paul Midgley when scoring at Newcastle 17 days ago. Porfin is feared most.

PRINCESS KERI was many lengths clear when her rider became unbalanced and was unseated after an awkward landing at the last at Fakenham eight days ago. Although the Evan Williams-trained mare doesn't have the recognition, she could almost be considered a winner without a penalty and a safe round can see her put the record straight. Gower Spirit and Ezmerellda can fight it out for second place.

Had been in good form prior and is generally reliable. Seven-race maiden who was disappointing over 1m at Lingfield last time; down the list.

There are some progressive three-year-olds going to post for this sprint handicap and just a tentative vote is for GREY HORIZON, who is on a hat-trick, is the most experienced in the field and brings proven C&D form to the table. Watchdog won a Newcastle nursery at the expense of the selection but Scott Dixon's charge has improved markedly since. Jamie Sommers is also noteworthy.

It might be worth sticking with WATCHDOG, who came good with an emphatic win at Newcastle last month and is open to more progress.

Effective at 5f and 6f and may be a fraction better than that latest run. Lightly raced filly but she's been well held in both handicaps and others are preferred.
2	7 2nd (7) (14/1 -87%) Corniche Girl	14 14/1(-87%)	(7) Corniche Girl 14/1, Was too far back after being dropped in from a wide draw when beaten 5l in a nursery at Lingfield last time. Had been in good form prior and is normally reliable, with a better draw expected to help. Exposed filly who is 1-11 and was down the field at Lingfield last time.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/4 +61%) Yachtsman	2.75 11/4(+61%)	(4) Yachtsman 11/4, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Windsor last time. A hood is fitted for the first time; the trainer is in form and, being speedily bred, he may yet do better. 0-4 for the Gosdens and he needs improvement on return for new yard; hood on.

Unexposed filly and she needs a close look back up in trip on handicap debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 -38%) Mighty Vega	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(1) Mighty Vega 11/2, Had run of race in front and ran to form beaten a length off this mark at Kempton last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 6f, only just gets 7f, acts on AW; consistent. Has solid record and could be a big factor if he can find a bit extra; cheekpieces added.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/2 -11%) Moretons	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(3) Moretons 5/2, Well backed, ran to form beaten a neck off this mark here last time; returning from a break; wide draw; effective 5f on good; early runs in weakish races and bit to prove. 0-6 but she went close over 5f here in October; interesting back up in trip on return.
7th	8 7th (8) (7/1 -8%) Mister Moet	7 7/1(-8%)	(8) Mister Moet 7/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 5 1/2l, in a handicap at Lingfield latest. Suited by 6f and fairly consistent, although he has not always been the most convincing in a finish. Runner-up at Lingfield last week but was beaten 5l and he's now 0-7 in handicaps.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/1 -10%) Hello It's Me	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) Hello It's Me 11/1, Made a modest handicap debut when beaten 5l in a nursery at Kempton last time. A visor is applied for the first time and she returns from a short break; needs to improve for the longer trip. Some promise in novice events but was last of seven on nursery debut at Kempton.

With many of these lacking early pace, it would be no surprise to see a bold showing from MISTER MOET. Having fluffed the start at Lingfield last week, Scott Dixon's three-year-old rattled home to be the best of the rest behind a clear winner. A sharper exit from the stalls can see him go one better this time. Nala's Dream and Mighty Vega can also set good fractions and they warrant close inspection.

Most of these have something to prove but MORETONS went close here in October and looks interesting back up in trip on his return.

Effective at 7f, will probably get 10f in time and more to come. Made a bright start with a comfortable win over C&D last month; respected under penalty.

Distances around 8f will suit and she is open to improvement. Promising third on C&D debut last month and she should improve for that experience.
5th	8 5th (8) (8/1 +11%) Uthooba	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Uthooba 8/1, Fair effort off a break when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l, in a maiden at Lingfield last time. Stayed 8f well and further may suit, and she remains open to improvement. Encouraging fourth at Lingfield but she needs more progress on this drop back in trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (80/1 -60%) Cari Bay	80 80/1(-60%)	(4) Cari Bay 80/1, Again ran to a moderate level when down the field in a maiden at Kempton most recently. Off a short break and related to smart 6-8f winner Tacarib Bay, but looks up against it. Useful pedigree but she struggled in two runs at Kempton (6f/1m) in the autumn.
7th	3 7th (3) (125/1 -279%) Ada Rose	125 125/1(-279%)	(3) Ada Rose 125/1, Showed similar moderate form to debut when beaten 8l in a novice at Lingfield last time. Trainer is in form but she has a good bit to prove after two modest runs. Well held in two 7f runs this winter, with an RPR of 47 on both occasions.
8th	1 8th (1) (250/1 +0%) Miss Helena	250 250/1(+0%)	(1) Miss Helena 250/1, No worthwhile form shown so far and hard to make a case for on what has been achieved. Likely needs to reach handicaps at a lowly level before becoming competitive. Tailed off in two bumpers and same story in two runs at Wolverhampton this winter.

CHANTELLE impressed with a cosy winning debut over C&D just after Christmas. That impressive start is easily the best piece of form on offer and the daughter of Gleneagles looks an attractive proposition ih her bid to follow up. Get An Attitude has filled the runner-up berth in both previous starts and will be more interesting when she qualifies for a mark after this. Therefore, the well-bred Denver Doll, who ticks the right boxes on paper, could be worth chancing for the forecast slot.

It's hard to get away from CHANTELLE, who won on her C&D debut last month and that form has been boosted by the third since.

Has a top course trainer, is effective at 6/7f and can contend again from a similar mark. C&D winner; narrow defeats in his last two outings suggest he is capable of playing a part.
8th	8 8th (8) (4/1 -33%) Maid In Chelsea	4 4/1(-33%)	(8) Maid In Chelsea 4/1, Would have gone close with a clear run when beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time.

TOUSSAROK was touched off over C&D before losing out in identical fashion at Lingfield, but the former C&D winner is drawn to attack and can now go one place better. Conversely, Landlordtothestars will have to navigate a wide draw if he is to continue his fine form and although not dismissed, Maid In Chelsea could be a bigger threat in a first-time visor.

The vote goes to LESSAY who is just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D last month and drops into a Class 6 for the first time.

EUPATOR didn't have to come out of first gear when winning in emphatic fashion here on Friday and he might be hard to stop under the penalty. That said, there are a few dangers, namely unexposed five-year-old Monty Beau, who finished hot on the heels of Oman at Chelmsford latest. Rhythm N Rock went agonisingly close at Kempton and is also respected.

It may be worth taking a chance with EAGLE DAY who has slipped 9lb lower than for the latest of his four course wins.

WELLJUDGED has shown a fair amount of promise in three runs so far, including when runner-up over C&D in November, and Roger Varian's filly gets the vote to shed the maiden tag on her handicap debut. Caramay stays further but did run with plenty of credit when third here over almost a furlong further on her penultimate start and is noted along with Electric Avenue.

This can go to handicap newcomer WELLJUDGED (nap), who showed enough in three runs in the autumn to suggest she can win a race like this

KNIGHT OF MAGIC won at Southwell earlier in the month before underperforming when turned over at short odds at Chelmsford five days later. Luke Morris is reunited in the saddle and the step back up in trip promises to suit the seven-year-old. Desiderata produced his best effort for a while when runner-up here last time and a repeat of that would see him in the mix. Others to note are Prince Hector and Dancing Bay.

Preference is for KNIGHT OF MAGIC, who won at Southwell on his penultimate run and is a big player if he can recapture that form.

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.
