1	2 1st (2) (10/3 +26%) Andashan		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(2) Andashan 10/3, Made a winning bumper debut here last February and bettered that form when third of 20 in a valuable event at Newbury 6 weeks later. Only a modest third on his completed start over hurdles but he should have bigger performances in him soon. Successful in a bumper on this card last year and warrants respect back here.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 +61%) Absolutely Doyen		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(1) Absolutely Doyen 11/2, Maiden Irish pointer, runner-up last time (Dec 1). The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling for Fergal O'Brien. 0-5 in Irish points, good second the final time; heed the market signals.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/11 +17%) High Fibre		0.909091 10/11(+17%)																															(6) High Fibre 10/11, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) and has shaped well in maidens at Wincanton and Taunton switched to hurdles. Likely would have won at the latter track but for losing momentum at the last and can gain compensation now. Clear second at Taunton last time despite a late stumble; leading player.
4	8 4th (8) (11/2 -57%) Indemnity		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(8) Indemnity 11/2, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m). Sold out of Roger Varian's yard for 80,000 gns in October. Interesting new recruit for Emma Lavelle and Harry Cobden takes the ride. Fairly useful on Flat for Roger Varian; possibilities if taking to hurdles.
5th	12 5th (12) (250/1 -25%) Sgian Dubh		250 250/1(-25%)																															(12) Sgian Dubh 250/1, Fair maiden at best on the Flat but hasn't offered a great deal in his 2 hurdle starts. First-time blinkers need to spark major improvement. First-time headgear needs to make a big difference.
6th	4 6th (4) (150/1 -200%) George Darling		150 150/1(-200%)																															(4) George Darling 150/1, Unplaced both starts in points and remote sixth on Huntingdon hurdle debut 15 days ago. Outsider. Comfortably held at Huntingdon on rules debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (22/1 -57%) Graham		22 22/1(-57%)																															(5) Graham 22/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Richard Hannon but well beaten on Leicester hurdle debut (heavy) for new yard 17 days ago. The likely less testing ground now may see him in a better light. Flat form suggests he can't be dismissed in this second hurdles attempt.
8th	3 8th (3) (20/1 -25%) Busy Being Busy		20 20/1(-25%)																															(3) Busy Being Busy 20/1, Promising third of 8 in 2m Thurles maiden hurdle on debut in November. Not in the same form when a well-held sixth at Down Royal on Boxing Day but retains potential now starting out for Stuart Edmunds. Debut effort in Ireland gives him frame possibilities for new yard.
9th	9 9th (9) (125/1 -25%) Low Expectations		125 125/1(-25%)																															(9) Low Expectations 125/1, Promising third of 11 in a Downpatrick bumper for Paul Nolan in September but comfortably held in novice hurdles for Nick Gifford in recent months. Needs to show improvement.
7	7 |U| (7) (10/1 0%) I'd Go Maniac		10 10/1(0%)																															(7) I'd Go Maniac 10/1, Bumper winner last summer but beaten a long way when reaching the frame in hurdles at Wetherby and Wincanton this winter. Surely capable of better at some point but possibly not until handicapping. Hurdles efforts suggest he may be more interesting in handicaps soon.
10th	10 10th (10) (300/1 -50%) Now I Know		300 300/1(-50%)																															(10) Now I Know 300/1, Well held in 2 bumpers last spring and similar story on C&D hurdle debut in November. Plenty to find.
11th	14 11th (14) (150/1 -275%) Bluenose Belle		150 150/1(-275%)																															(14) Bluenose Belle 150/1, Fair AW Flat winner. Has had wind surgery ahead of this hurdle debut. Hurdles debutante; inferior to some of these rivals on Flat.
12th	11 12th (11) (250/1 -213%) Rocks Up Late		250 250/1(-213%)																															(11) Rocks Up Late 250/1, No show in a bumper and maiden hurdle before Christmas. Very weak claims on form.
13	13 |PU| (13) (300/1 -20%) Simply Ed		300 300/1(-20%)																															(13) Simply Ed 300/1, Well held in varied events on Flat and 150/1 when pulled up on Plumpton hurdle debut 11 days ago. Poor claims on form.

HIGH FIBRE improved on his debut third over hurdles to occupy the runner-up berth at Taunton last month and is likely to have plenty of improvement in him. This looks a reasonable assignment and he could put his experience to good use. Previous course bumper winner Andashan put his Plumpton mishap behind him when making the frame at Fontwell on Boxing Day, and he would be foolish to dismiss. I'd Go Maniac is another to note.

Plenty of runners but it's unlikely many count. HIGH FIBRE is the obvious one after 2 promising runs over hurdles, although Indemnity could pose a threat if translating his pretty useful Flat ability to hurdles at the first time of asking. Andashan should have more to come in this sphere and is next on the list.

On hurdles form, HIGH FIBRE is the pick ahead of Andashan. On Flat ability, Indemnity and Graham also enter calculations.

3	3 (3) (250/1 -400%) D Day Major Winter		250 250/1(-400%)																															(3) D Day Major Winter 250/1, Once-raced colt. 20/1, last of 6 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Improvement required. Green and always behind on last month's Southwell debut (1m); bred to need further.
1	5 1st (5) (4/6 +59%) This Farh		0.666667 4/6(+59%)																															(5) This Farh 4/6, Found improvement when good third of 9 in handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago, faring best of those held up. Holds strong claims back in maiden company. Consistent without progressing; latest handicap third brings him right into the picture.
2	11 2nd (11) (125/1 +38%) Spoilt		125 125/1(+38%)																															(11) Spoilt 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 250/1, last of 9 in maiden at this course (8f, AW) 35 days ago. Looks one for low-grade handicaps down the line. Huge prices and well beaten in two maidens this winter; can't be recommended.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 -113%) Enchanted Way		4 4/1(-113%)																															(6) Enchanted Way 4/1, Upped her game when second in Epsom maiden in July and may have needed outing, on first start since, when fifth of 7 in novice over C&D (AW) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely player. Fluffed her lines when fav here last month; that was after a break and now gets headgear.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 +18%) Willow's Kiss		33 33/1(+18%)																															(2) Willow's Kiss 33/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f, 250/1) 22 days ago. Others preferred. Big step forward from her debut run when 5th at Chelmsford 3 weeks ago; e-w claims here.
5th	9 5th (9) (8/1 +0%) Amber Honey		8 8/1(+0%)																															(9) Amber Honey 8/1, £15,000 yearling, Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Sterling Knight and useful winner up to 6f Charmed. Dam 1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Interesting newcomer. Half-sister to seven winners, notably Sterling Knight (RPR 99); starts out in modest event.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 +43%) Jungle Cruise		4 4/1(+43%)																															(1) Jungle Cruise 4/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 8 in maiden (20/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Hood on 1st time. Each-way claims. Ran to a fair level at Chelmsford three weeks ago (7f); now hooded; capable of better.
7th	7 7th (7) (22/1 -38%) Rhodes Royce		22 22/1(-38%)																															(7) Rhodes Royce 22/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 7 in novice at this C&D (AW, 16/1) on debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Work to do. 16-1, green and always in rear on last month's C&D debut; should do better at some point.
8th	4 8th (4) (50/1 +24%) My Friend Charles		50 50/1(+24%)																															(4) My Friend Charles 50/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 8 in maiden (28/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 22 days ago. Hard to fancy. Well beaten in two AW runs so far but he's bred to do much better at some point.

THIS FARH has run well in defeat on all three starts since being gelded and, still open to improvement over 7f, a breakthrough success is well within reach if stepping forward from his promising handicap debut last month. Enchanted Way is surely better than she managed when qualifying for a mark here 16 days ago and could give the selection a scare if revved up by first-time cheekpieces on her first run in this sphere. Jungle Cruise and Amber Honey are others to keep an eye on.

THIS FARH continues to run well and made a solid start in handicaps at Wolverhampton last month. He can gain a deserved first success. Enchanted Way looks the likeliest danger on form whilst Amber Honey may be the pick of the newcomers.

Jungle Cruise has more to offer but ENCHANTED WAY is given another chance to confirm the promise of last summer's Epsom second.

1	6 1st (6) (6/1 -33%) Lagonda		6 6/1(-33%)																															(6) Lagonda 6/1, Point/hurdles winner who has posted solid efforts when placed in handicap chases around 3m at Ludlow, Hereford and Wincanton under this rider this winter. In the mix once more. 0-9 over fences but has made the frame on all three outings this season; likely contender.
2	2 2nd (2) (85/40 -42%) Micks Jet		2.125 85/40(-42%)																															(2) Micks Jet 85/40, Bumper/hurdles winner who responded very well to headgear when wide-margin winner at Wetherby 2 weeks ago. 10 lb higher now but that was only her second start over fences and should take the beating if seeing out this longer trip. Won by 18l at Wetherby (2m3f) last month, her second chase, and commands respect.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 +8%) Gold Clermont		11 11/1(+8%)																															(7) Gold Clermont 11/1, Won a couple of staying chases at Fakenham (under this rider) and Fontwell last season but her 4 starts this term have been poor. Headgear now given a whirl and Sean Bowen is back in the plate. Pulled up on last two outings and needs a huge boost from the new cheekpieces.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 -100%) Flintara		14 14/1(-100%)																															(5) Flintara 14/1, Took well to chasing last season, scoring at Fontwell before runner-up next 3 starts. Presumably was having a pipe-opener back over hurdles on return and better expected now. Pulled up on seasonal debut but a big player if judged on last April's Cheltenham second.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +57%) Lilting Verse		6 6/1(+57%)																															(1) Lilting Verse 6/1, Listed bumper winner who opened her account over hurdles at Ludlow last season. However, hasn't looked straightforward switched to fences this term despite winning at Huntingdon on second start. Risky. Quirky mare; pulled up twice since her November win; too risky.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 +72%) Victoria Milano		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(3) Victoria Milano 9/2, Dual hurdles winner who reportedly bled when pulled up on final start of last season. Seems high enough in the weights judged on her 2 efforts this term so needs to improve for the switch to chasing (fourth of 5 finishers sole outing in Irish points). 2-7 over hurdles; unexposed over 3m and has Irish point experience to call upon today.
8	8 |PU| (8) (8/1 -100%) Heva Rose		8 8/1(-100%)																															(8) Heva Rose 8/1, Back on track following a second wind op and switched to fences last season, winning 2 of her 3 starts. Shaped as if needing the run after 13 months off at Wetherby 2 weeks ago and should be much closer to form this time. Pulled up on last month's seasonal debut but landed a good prize off this mark last term.
4	4 |PU| (4) (12/1 +14%) Shighness		12 12/1(+14%)																															(4) Shighness 12/1, Consistent over hurdles and got off the mark at the fourth time of asking in this sphere in 4-runner Catterick handicap a year ago. Solid effort on final start of last season but she now needs to bounce back following 2 heavy defeats this term. Ended last season in good form but has struggled on both outings this term.

Second on her chasing debut at Fakenham before bolting up in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wetherby last time, MICKS JET looks set to progress further now upped to three miles. A 10lb rise will make things tougher but, even so, that might not be enough. Lagonda continues to run well in defeat and she's unlikely to be far away, although chasing debutant Victoria Milano could be a bigger threat.

MICKS JET confirmed the promise of her chasing debut in emphatic style tried in cheekpieces at Wetherby 2 weeks ago and can defy a 10 lb rise over this longer distance. Heva Rose shaped as if needing the run when pulled up behind the selection that day and better is expected now, while her stablemate Lagonda should give another good account.

With cheekpieces added, MICKS JET produced an excellent performance last month. She is taken to overcome a 10lb rise.

1	9 1st (9) (8/1 +43%) Slipway		8 8/1(+43%)																															(9) Slipway 8/1, Useful chaser at his best who resumed winning ways over 3m here last March but lightly raced and below that level since, a forward move in the back straight coming to nothing when well-beaten ninth in handicap chase back here 6 weeks ago. May be vulnerable back over timber. Had wind op. Four-time chase winner; hasn't raced over hurdles for nearly four years.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/10 +84%) J J Moon		1.1 11/10(+84%)																															(4) J J Moon 11/10, Much improved when making third bumper start a winning one at Southwell in May. Easily best effort over hurdles when just denied at Wincanton (19.8f) 52 days ago and he appeals as the type to progress further in this sphere. Respected. Proved resurgent (clear second) at Wincanton last time; one of the main form contenders.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +10%) Jus De Citron		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(1) Jus De Citron 9/2, Made frame both starts in Irish points and made perfect start under Rules equipped with a tongue strap when winning 5-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f) 6 weeks ago, produced to lead after 2 out and asserting final 100 yds. Looks sure to progress and he's respected. Irish point form has substance; won at Doncaster for new stable; open to further progress.
4	3 4th (3) (9/1 +25%) Doctor Kildare		9 9/1(+25%)																															(3) Doctor Kildare 9/1, Built on encouraging NH debut when landing 12-runner bumper at Bangor (16.6f) in April. Folded tamely after 7 months off when pulled up in novice hurdle back at that venue in November but he's in leading hands and no surprise to see him get back on track following wind surgery. Had wind surgery since last run; still unexposed but he's the stable second string.
5th	6 5th (6) (80/1 -220%) Little Big Kev		80 80/1(-220%)																															(6) Little Big Kev 80/1, Runner-up on his only start in points and fair form on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers during first half of last year. This looks a pretty warm race now hurdling after 8 months off though, and others appeal more. Form dipped in latest bumper outing; difficult task on return from layoff.
6th	5 6th (5) (3/1 +14%) Juventus De Brion		3 3/1(+14%)																															(5) Juventus De Brion 3/1, 6-y-o who appeared to squander a winning position equipped with tongue tie/following wind op when runner-up in a Newcastle maiden (20.3f) 3 weeks ago, hanging left and not run on when headed final 1f. Clearly possesses plenty of ability but degree of caution advised on back of that. Capable of being involved but didn't look straightforward when beaten fav the last twice.
7th	7 7th (7) (150/1 -50%) Minella Kaiser		150 150/1(-50%)																															(7) Minella Kaiser 150/1, Placed on the first of 2 starts in Irish points but looks one for handicaps later on based on his 2 starts in maiden/novice hurdles this winter. Has plenty to find on the figures.
8	8 |PU| (8) (200/1 -400%) Simiyann		200 200/1(-400%)																															(8) Simiyann 200/1, Fairly useful stayer on Flat, successful twice on all-weather during second half of last year. Had underfoot conditions as a plausible excuse when pulled up sole previous try over hurdles at Stratford last spring and this should reveal more. Flat form suggests he rather lacks potential returned to this code.

KINGSTON PRIDE was a disappointing favourite when being pulled up in a Grade 2 event at Sandown in December, but he might be worth another chance. Nicky Henderson's charge looked an exciting prospect on his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter prior to that and could bounce back. Jus De Citron struck in good style over an extended 2m3f at Doncaster and might take a step forward on only his second start under Rules. J J Moon is the pick of the remainder.

KINGSTON PRIDE had excuses on account of the ground when pulled up in Grade 2 company a couple of months back, yet he'd previously looked one to keep firmly on side and is well worth another chance to resume progress back in calmer waters. J J Moon following his smashing Wincanton second, Juventus de Brion and Jus de Citron head up the dangers, in that order.

Back down in class, KINGSTON PRIDE gets the vote ahead of J J Moon and Jus De Citron.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +67%) Counsel		2 2/1(+67%)																															(1) Counsel 2/1, Course winner. 14/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Others more persuasive. Unplaced in two sprint handicaps after a seven-month layoff; others appeal more at 5f.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +0%) Diamond Dreamer		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Diamond Dreamer 4/1, Four-time winner last year who put a poor previous run behind him when creditable third of 8 in handicap (12/1) over C&D (AW) 16 days ago, running on late. Enters calculations. Split two of these over C&D last month, a run that can be marked up; leading contender.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/2 +6%) Gogo Yubari		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(3) Gogo Yubari 15/2, C&D winner. Five wins from 16 runs last year. 4/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago, going off too hard. Not out of things. Conditions to suit & this winter's 5f form is solid; easy lead unlikely; others preferred.
4	5 4th (5) (11/2 -22%) Harry Brown		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(5) Harry Brown 11/2, Course winner. 7/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Warrants respect. Two sound efforts here last month; blinkers now tried; shouldn't be far away.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +20%) Recon Mission		4 4/1(+20%)																															(4) Recon Mission 4/1, Arrives in good form and only narrowly failed to return to winning ways in 8-runner handicap over C&D (AW) 16 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and looks sure to make his presence felt. Banging at the door since last April; finished in front of two of these here last month.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 -450%) Havechatma		11 11/1(-450%)																															(6) Havechatma 11/1, Course winner who posted career best when taking 8-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) under this rider 8 days ago. Can race off same mark here and holds obvious claims. Front-runner; won off this mark at Southwell last week but in a lower grade.

RECON MISSION has shown few signs of his enthusiasm waning and, after a close second in a similar race over C&D last month, the Tony Carroll-trained nine-year-old is hard to ignore off just a 1lb higher mark. Havechatma is an obvious threat after a ready success off 3lb lower at Southwell. Track-and-trip winner Diamond Dreamer tends to go well for David Probert and cannot be ruled out.

HAVECHATMA carries no penalty for last week's Southwell victory and looks the one to beat. Recon Mission may provide the chief threat.

Recon Mission finished in front of DIAMOND DREAMER (nap) here last time but the selection endured a rough trip in comparison.

1	13 1st (13) (12/1 +45%) Laskalin		12 12/1(+45%)																															(13) Laskalin 12/1, It's now 14 starts since his last win in 2022 and he came in last of 5 in handicap chase (8/1) at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) 36 days ago. Blinkers now go on but it's easy to look elsewhere. Has lost his way but now tries new headgear off a much reduced mark.
2	1 2nd (1) (40/1 +0%) The Big Breakaway		40 40/1(+0%)																															(1) The Big Breakaway 40/1, It's now 21 runs since his last win in 2020 and pulled up in handicap chase (22/1) at Wincanton (26.7f, soft) 22 days ago. Visor on 1st time, tongue strap goes back on with something to prove. New headgear provides some cause for optimism but far too risky to trust.
3	12 3rd (12) (12/1 +14%) Betterforeveryone		12 12/1(+14%)																															(12) Betterforeveryone 12/1, Failed to build on his reappearance fourth when only seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Warwick (24f, soft, 13/2) 57 days ago, going in snatches. Blinkers are reached for now. Hasn't progressed since sole chase win and trainer rolls the dice with new headgear.
4	14 4th (14) (9/1 +25%) Schalke		9 9/1(+25%)																															(14) Schalke 9/1, Eleven runs since his last win in 2022 but he recorded a creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle (85/40) at Haydock (24.3f, soft) 39 days ago. Possibilities back over fences. Running well over hurdles for new yard but this a belated return to fences.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 -100%) Rockinastorm		9 9/1(-100%)																															(2) Rockinastorm 9/1, Enjoying a very good season, scoring at Ludlow and Wetherby before an excellent second of 5 in handicap chase (15/8) at Ascot (23.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly now stepping up in trip. Front-runner with good strike-rate over fences and ran well in his hat-trick bid at Ascot.
6th	15 6th (15) (11/4 +61%) Caeruleum		2.75 11/4(+61%)																															(15) Caeruleum 11/4, Arrives on a hat-trick after 3m2f handicap wins at Wincanton and Taunton this winter. Not taken lightly in his current mood despite taking a 10 lb weights hike. Hit hard by the handicapper for recent wins but this 7yo looks firmly on the upgrade.
6	6 |PU| (6) (6/1 +25%) Rouge De L'quest		6 6/1(+25%)																															(6) Rouge De L'quest 6/1, Easily opened his chase account at Ffos Las (3m) in March and has continued in good nick, third of 11 in 3m6f Exeter handicap in December. Ought to be in the shake-up once more. Consistent at up to 3m1f but stamina appeared stretched by 3m6f at Exeter; new headgear.
5	5 |PU| (5) (7/1 +7%) Well Dick		7 7/1(+7%)																															(5) Well Dick 7/1, Bounced back to form with success in 8-runner handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 25 days ago. Up 5 lb but needs considering once more back up in trip. His profile is all or nothing but a relentless galloper and this is his sort of race.
3	3 |PU| (3) (15/2 -25%) Duke Of Deception		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(3) Duke Of Deception 15/2, A three-time winner over fences who has returned to his best of late, third of 7 in handicap chase at Aintree (3m) 43 days ago. Second to Stellar Stream in this last year and ought to go well again. Appears to have little margin for error off this mark but has each-way claims.
4	4 |PU| (4) (16/1 -14%) Poppa Poutine		16 16/1(-14%)																															(4) Poppa Poutine 16/1, Resumed winning ways at Wincanton in December and not disgraced when fourth of 9 in handicap chase (18/1) at Newbury (26f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Tongue strap back on. No forlorn hope. Below par latest but getting back on soft ground should help and he'll stay okay.
9	9 |PU| (9) (16/1 -14%) Fern Hill		16 16/1(-14%)																															(9) Fern Hill 16/1, Twelve runs since his last win in 2022 but he got right back on track when second of 8 in handicap chase at Fakenham (29.1f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and in the mix. Got himself well handicapped and returned to form with a near miss at Fakenham (3m5f).
10	10 |PU| (10) (20/1 -43%) Haute Estime		20 20/1(-43%)																															(10) Haute Estime 20/1, Has a mixed record over fences but he returned to form when second of 8 in handicap chase (4/1) at Kelso (26.2f, good to soft) 40 days ago. One for the shortlist off a 2 lb lower mark. Third 12 months ago off 5lb higher; signs of a return to form last time at Kelso.
7	7 |PU| (7) (20/1 -11%) Animal		20 20/1(-11%)																															(7) Animal 20/1, Scored at Sandown last December but ended last season below par and pulled up at Windsor on his seasonal return. Others appeal more. He never got involved before pulling up on his Windsor reappearance (3m4f).
11	11 |PU| (11) (25/1 +0%) Bushypark		25 25/1(+0%)																															(11) Bushypark 25/1, Yet to hit top form this season, sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Switches to chasing with more required. Front-runner who loves the mud but an 11yo who struggles with his consistency these days.

CAERULEUM has made real strides over the larger obstacles recently, winning at both Wincanton and Taunton in December. This marathon trip promises to suit Robert Walford's seven-year-old and, off a handy racing weight, he may well complete the hat-trick. Fern Hill was just touched off at Fakenham last time and must be taken seriously, while others to note include Duke Of Deception and Rouge De L'quest.

The thriving ROCKINA STORM heads the list, with Rouge de L'Quest, Duke of Deception and Well Dick all in the mix too in a cracking handicap.

Plenty with chances but the selection is FERN HILL (nap) who emerged from the shadows with a brighter display at Fakenham.

1	5 1st (5) (2/1 +33%) Eyed		2 2/1(+33%)																															(5) Eyed 2/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Paul Webber and confirmed stable debut promise when off the mark in this sphere at Market Rasen. Got no further than the first fence at Lingfield next time but quickly resumed winning ways at former track 3 weeks ago and sure to go well again. An improver for new yard, winning at Market Rasen in last two completed starts.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 -125%) Ideal Des Bordes		4.5 9/2(-125%)																															(2) Ideal Des Bordes 9/2, Winning pointer who made a successful return from wind surgery in 21f Kempton maiden hurdle in May and made a satisfactory winning start in this sphere at Wincanton after 8 months off 3 weeks ago. Should progress over fences. 2-2 since having wind surgery, winning at Wincanton switched to chasing last time.

Regressive form over fences but this drop in grade may prompt a turnaround.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 +13%) Gentleman's Relish		14 14/1(+13%)																															(7) Gentleman's Relish 14/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who was pulled up first 2 starts in maiden hurdles but much more like it following an absence when third of 8 in a Kempton maiden (21f) in May. Might have needed the run at Ascot after 6 months off in November but enough to prove on chase bow. Ties in with stablemate Ideal Des Bordes on a piece of hurdles form here.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/4 +8%) Moulins Clermont		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(3) Moulins Clermont 11/4, Dual hurdles winner in 2022. Off almost 2 years before coming in last on chase debut at Newbury in November but took a big step forward when second there following month, looking a big threat to winner but perhaps still just needing the run after such a long absence. Can go one better off same mark. Solid effort upped to 2m7f at Newbury last time; possibilities off same mark.
6th	4 6th (4) (25/1 -79%) Onethreefivenotout		25 25/1(-79%)																															(4) Onethreefivenotout 25/1, Made a winning bumper debut at Worcester in October 2021 then off 2 years. Mixed record over hurdles last season (has bled) but did win a maiden at Wincanton. Made an inauspicious start over fences after 9 months off at Warwick 8 weeks ago. Ran dismally switched to fences last time and this trip is an unknown.
1	1 |PU| (1) (13/2 -8%) Roger Pol		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(1) Roger Pol 13/2, 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) 37 days ago. Merits consideration back up in trip. Sound form switched to chasing in the autumn; goes well fresh; solid claims.

IDEAL DES BORDES showed a likeable attitude when running out a game winner on his chasing debut over 3m1f at Wincanton last month and, with the promise of more to come over fences, another bold bid looks likely off 3lb higher. Eyed is progressing nicely with each start and he looks the main danger following a recent Market Rasen success, while Sea Invasion also merits consideration.

MOULINS CLERMONT proved a completely different proposition on his second attempt over fences when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Newbury and is fancied to one better off the same mark. Eyed continued his positive start for this yard when resuming winning ways at Market Rasen and rates the main threat ahead of the unexposed Ideal des Bordes.

With further progress on the cards, IDEAL DES BORDES could well complete a hat-trick. Moulins Clermont is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 +9%) Tyrrhenian Sea		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(3) Tyrrhenian Sea 5/2, Smart gelding. Course winner. Good 1¾ lengths second of 6 to Royal Champion in listed race (6/4) at this course (1¼m) 38 days ago. Fully effective over this trip earlier in his career. Looks sure to go well. Reliable on AW and he's a Listed winner at this track (1m2f); should be involved.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/9 -11%) Maljoom		0.444444 4/9(-11%)																															(1) Maljoom 4/9, Took well to fitting of blinkers when second in Group 1 Sussex at Goodwood (1m) in July. Failed to back that up in International at York and Leopardstown Group 2 later in summer. Headgear off on return. Not entirely straightforward but won his previous AW start and a potential class act. High-class at 1m on his day; headgear off; the one to beat but not sure he's bombproof.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 +0%) Popmaster		9 9/1(+0%)																															(2) Popmaster 9/1, Smart gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 21 days ago. Third in listed company at Kempton in December. Listed winner; in good form over a mile on AW this winter; big run expected.
4	4 4th (4) (100/1 -52%) Imperial Express		100 100/1(-52%)																															(4) Imperial Express 100/1, Fairly useful filly. Latest win at Hamilton (9f) in August. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, AW, 40/1) 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Has plenty to find at this level. Two turf wins last summer; big personal best required to win at this level.

MALJOOM may not have scored since a Group 2 success at Cologne in May 2022, but the six-year-old was placed at the top level twice last summer and this represents a significant drop in grade. On his seasonal debut, he can get back to winning ways at the main expense of Tyrrhenian Sea, who goes well around here and could be suited by dropping back to 1m for the first time in over two years. Popmaster may be capable of picking up the pieces if the leading contenders falter.

TYRRHENIAN SEA has a strong AW record and might be a more solid option than Maljoom, who has the best form courtesy of his Sussex Stakes second last summer but failed to reproduce that on his final 2 outings in 2024 and hasn't won for nearly 3 years.

Maljoom's peak form would make him hard to beat but he isn't straightforward and POPMASTER is a sporting alternative at the prices.

Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Wishfull Thinking. Beat a subsequent winner when making a successful start in 6-runner novice at Haydock 6 weeks ago. Sure to improve and big shout under a penalty. Debut was a while coming but he beat useful opposition at Haydock.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +11%) Malinificent		8 8/1(+11%)																															(6) Malinificent 8/1, £52,000 buy who was runner-up on sole completed start in points. Showed promise on hurdles debut when third of 6 in novice at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) in December and failed to build on that next time. Looks one for staying handicaps later on. Shown enough to believe he should have say in a race of this nature.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/5 +57%) Big Ginge		0.8 4/5(+57%)																															(3) Big Ginge 4/5, Free-going sort who showed plenty of ability in trio of bumpers last season and similar story in finishing runner-up all 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles this winter, improving again at Newbury latest. Form pick. Has been coming up short behind respected opposition and has solid form claims.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -67%) Paddys Policy		10 10/1(-67%)																															(2) Paddys Policy 10/1, £45,000 buy after finishing runner-up only outing in Irish points and has improved with each start under Rules, off the mark in novice at Sedgefield 6 weeks ago, making all. Respected under a penalty. Sedgefield winner; this should take more winning and he has the penalty.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -20%) J'aime El Mars		12 12/1(-20%)																															(5) J'aime El Mars 12/1, From a good family and made a pleasing start when runner-up in bumper at Southwell in March. Disappointing turned out quickly at Ffos Las next time but clearly has potential now jumping on return. First bumper run was better than the second but well bred and still promising.
6th	4 6th (4) (80/1 -220%) Captain Trigger		80 80/1(-220%)																															(4) Captain Trigger 80/1, Telescope gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Captain Cattistock and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner King's Threshold. Stable's latest debutant was a winner so worth a market check. Half-brother to four winners including very useful staying chaser Captain Cattistock.

LAGANHILL did it well when scoring comfortably on debut at Haydock in December, and the runner-up from that contest has gone on to win easily since. Henry Daly's charge can defy a penalty, with the consistent Big Ginge looking best placed to chase him home having finished second on each of his last four starts. A taking winner at Sedgefield last time out, Paddys Policy must enter calculations too.

LAGANHILL did well to make a belated winning debut at Haydock and the way he drew clear on the run-in suggests there's a good deal more to come. He can find the required improvement under a penalty to beat the free going but progressive Big Ginge.

A reluctance to settle is not helping BIG GINGE but he's still performed to a useful level and this looks winnable with his form.

1	9 1st (9) (3/1 +14%) Star Of Affinity		3 3/1(+14%)																															(9) Star Of Affinity 3/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Exeter (16.7f) in October and found further improvement when resuming winning ways in 16-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 20 days ago, keeping on well. 7 lb higher now but must enter calculations. Convincing winner at Taunton last time and has less to prove than many in here.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +36%) The Long Point		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(6) The Long Point 9/2, Won sole start in bumpers at Huntingdon in May and showed benefit of hurdling debut experience when fourth of 9 in Hereford novice (19.7f, good to soft) 58 days ago. Looks the type to progress further in handicaps. Open to progress though this mark looks tough on what he's achieved to date.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -45%) Bredon Hill		8 8/1(-45%)																															(4) Bredon Hill 8/1, Shaped with encouragement in bumpers and stepped forward from hurdling debut when off the mark in novice at Warwick (19f) in November. Posted good third on handicap debut at same course (21f, soft) since and remains low mileage. Still inexperienced when third to a sharp improver on handicap debut at Warwick.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 +30%) Holokea		14 14/1(+30%)																															(2) Holokea 14/1, Irish point/bumper winner who made a successful hurdle debut over 3m at Southwell in October. Has found life tougher under a penalty twice since, though, and his opening handicap mark could have been kinder. Not kicked on from his maiden win and doesn't look on that good a mark for handicap debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (3/1 +75%) Thunderclap		3 3/1(+75%)																															(1) Thunderclap 3/1, Back from 9 months off when creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, soft) 15 days ago. Won this contest last term (off 4 lb lower) and may well have been primed for a repeat bid. Won this last year and ran as though his race 15 days ago would bring him on.
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 +45%) Sirekoff		18 18/1(+45%)																															(3) Sirekoff 18/1, Won a maiden on debut for David Pipe at Newton Abbot (18.5f) back in August but misfired both subsequent starts, latterly following wind op/equipped with tongue strap at Wincanton last month. Eased 3 lb ahead of this. Beaten about 20l in his two handicaps on either side of wind surgery.
7th	8 7th (8) (17/2 +15%) Sun Joy		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(8) Sun Joy 17/2, Opened account over hurdles at Huntingdon (20.7f) a year ago and back to that sort of form, on second start over fences, when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Sedgefield (19.3f) in November. Returns to smaller obstacles now and others are more convincing. Won off 1lb higher just over a year and rediscovered some form on latest chase start.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 +34%) Storm Dennis		33 33/1(+34%)																															(10) Storm Dennis 33/1, Won handicaps at Huntingdon and over this C&D in 2022 but restricted to just 4 starts since and offered little, back from 22 months off, at Wincanton recently. Well handicapped and a C&D winner but current wellbeing is a major issue.
9th	13 9th (13) (22/1 -83%) Hawk Stone		22 22/1(-83%)																															(13) Hawk Stone 22/1, Confirmed previous promise when opening account in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) in April. Let down by jumping, back from 10 months off, when eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (16.9f) 22 days ago but figures off a handy mark and could benefit from this longer trip. Has to rebound from a quiet reappearance but he should be sharper for that.
7	7 |PU| (7) (14/1 -56%) Touquet		14 14/1(-56%)																															(7) Touquet 14/1, Made winning start over timber at Plumpton (15.9f) in October. Hasn't really built on that as yet but is in good hands and can't be ruled out on switch to handicapping. Free-goer; proving his own worst enemy at the minute and others are safer.
12	12 |PU| (12) (18/1 -64%) Blairgowrie		18 18/1(-64%)																															(12) Blairgowrie 18/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Newbury at the end of 2021/22 season and made an encouraging belated return/chase debut when second there 12 months ago. However, has gone backwards since and first-time blinkers had little effect returned to hurdling last time. After a fall at Ludlow he finished tailed off back over hurdles at Newbury.
11	11 |PU| (11) (40/1 +20%) Rathmacknee		40 40/1(+20%)																															(11) Rathmacknee 40/1, A fair winner at 20f over hurdles for Nicky Henderson but has rarely threatened for current yard, finishing well held when last seen over fences at Worcester in August. Had wind operation since. Cheekpieces on first time. Last win came in a handicap hurdle in late 2022 when with Nicky Henderson.
15	15 |PU| (15) (66/1 +34%) Gladiatus		66 66/1(+34%)																															(15) Gladiatus 66/1, Rarely threatened in a handful of starts for Christian Williams, including on chasing bow at end of 2023, and is best watched on first start since for new connections. Low-mileage 9yo who returns from another absence; has too much to prove.

A case can be made for a few of these so only a tentative vote goes to BREDON HILL. He shaped with promise when finishing third on his handicap debut over this trip at Warwick in December and this lightly-raced gelding could go close off the same mark. Bumper winner The Long Point looked to be learning on the job when fourth over an extended 2m4f at Hereford and merits respect on his handicap bow, while last-time-out scorer Star Of Affinity is noted too.

Harry Cobden is an eye-catching booking for THE LONG POINT, who improved from his hurdles debut when fourth at Hereford last time and remains open to improvement now handicapping. He gets the nod. Star of Affinity and Bredon Hill head the list of dangers.

The tongue-tie could make a difference to MAXIBOY DAGROSTIS who stopped quickly last time. His previous run reads really well.

1	8 1st (8) (11/2 +15%) Rey De La Batalla		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(8) Rey De La Batalla 11/2, C&D winner. Good ½-length second of 7 to Tadreeb over C&D 25 days ago.

2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 -45%) Giorgio M		8 8/1(-45%)																															(7) Giorgio M 8/1, Unreliable sort but on a going day when second of 8 in 6f course handicap 20 days ago, finishing well. No certainty to be in the same mood this time. Good second over 6f here three weeks ago; return to 7f a plus; should go well.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 -60%) Thapa Vc		16 16/1(-60%)																															(6) Thapa Vc 16/1, C&D winner. Also went close over C&D on New Year's Eve. Unsuited by how race developed when last of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (7f) since. Treated as if still in good form. Fine 2nd over C&D in December; troubled run latest; will need luck in running from stall 1.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 -25%) Tadreeb		2.5 5/2(-25%)																															(3) Tadreeb 5/2, Thriving for new trainer Rod Millman, completing a C&D hat-trick last month. A further 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him. 3-3 over C&D since joining this yard; useful turn of foot and he should remain competitive.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/3 +33%) Bravo Zulu		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(2) Bravo Zulu 10/3, Won over 1m here in December and followed up over 7f at Southwell later in the month. 7/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 41 days ago. Came up short in hat-trick bid latest but still ran with credit; could be more to come.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +11%) Beattie Is Back		4 4/1(+11%)																															(5) Beattie Is Back 4/1, Latest win at Newcastle (7f) in November.

7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 +50%) How Impressive		10 10/1(+50%)																															(4) How Impressive 10/1, Five wins from 20 runs last year, including this race. Also successful twice in the autumn but has struggled for form since. Dangerous mark and has suitable conditions; revival not impossible.

TADREEB has been a revelation since joining the Rod Millman stable, and a 4lb rise for his most recent success may not be enough to prevent him from landing a C&D four-timer. Rey De La Batalla (second) has half a length to make up on the selection from that contest, but he is better off at the weights with that rival now and looks the main danger. Beattie Is Back has been consistent of late and may be suited by the switch to Polytrack.

TADREEB can defy the handicapper again and make it 4-4 over C&D since switching to the Rod Millman yard. Beattie Is Back, Rey de La Batalla and Thapa Vc can fight it out for the minor honours.

Tadreeb and Thapa Vc need serious consideration but BRAVO ZULU had to do too much early last time and he could bounce back.

1	4 1st (4) (6/1 +25%) New Found Fame		6 6/1(+25%)																															(4) New Found Fame 6/1, Scored over hurdles here in December but came in a below-form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers go on with a bit to prove. Course winner in new cheekpieces in December; well held since; now tried in blinkers.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/2 +9%) The Grafter		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(2) The Grafter 5/2, Low-mileage sort who posted a good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f, soft) 39 days ago, travelling best. Since had a wind op and a likely player once more. Runner-up in first two handicaps; possible improver after last month's wind op; considered.

Up 4 lb but this strong-travelling sort is expected to be bang there. Made winning handicap debut at Leicester last month and is open to further progress.
4	8 4th (8) (20/1 -43%) The Secret Pearl		20 20/1(-43%)																															(8) The Secret Pearl 20/1, Low-mileage sort who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Warwick (21f, soft) 38 days ago. Down in trip but much respected on her handicap hurdle debut. Showed promise in bumpers and in her qualifying races; a possible on this handicap debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 -10%) Risk D'argent		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(7) Risk D'argent 11/2, Fourteen runs since his last win in 2021 but not discredited after 9 months off when third of 5 in handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy) 56 days ago. Not taken lightly with that run under his belt. Ran well over C&D on seasonal debut in December and remains on a good mark; interesting.
6th	11 6th (11) (17/2 +6%) Bellbird		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(11) Bellbird 17/2, In good form without winning this winter until only sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (18.1f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time and the sort to bounce back. Not at best last time but came second on three of four previous outings; headgear on today.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 -108%) Clinton Lane		25 25/1(-108%)																															(6) Clinton Lane 25/1, Scored at Plumpton in October and still close up when fell 4 out in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Can't be discounted. 2-14 over hurdles; does not look well handicapped and is too inconsistent to rely upon.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 +44%) Falco Des Pins		14 14/1(+44%)																															(10) Falco Des Pins 14/1, Ex-French performer who was steadily progressive last season, second in juvenile hurdle at Angers (16.9f) in March. Yet to fire for current yard though and arrives with something to prove. Yet to make a splash in Britain but may yet come good for Venetia Williams.
9th	3 9th (3) (12/1 +0%) Feel The Pinch		12 12/1(+0%)																															(3) Feel The Pinch 12/1, 3-time C&D winner who hinted at a revival when fourth of 10 to The Grey Man in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy, 40/1) 17 days ago. Needs considering off a 4 lb lower mark. Three C&D wins; not firing on all cylinders since the autumn but lurks on a good mark.
9	9 |U| (9) (100/1 +0%) Imperial Storm		100 100/1(+0%)																															(9) Imperial Storm 100/1, Bumper/hurdles winner for Fergal O'Brien but has struggled since returning from an absence for his new yard. Out of sorts since returned to racing under rules and only hurdle win was over 3m.
10th	1 10th (1) (28/1 -40%) El Jefe		28 28/1(-40%)																															(1) El Jefe 28/1, Enjoyed a fine 2023/24, gaining a fifth victory at Aintree in April. Yet to fire in a couple of runs this term though, last of 7 at Ayr 18 days ago. Needs a big step forward. 40-1 winner at least season's Aintree festival but twice well beaten in recent weeks.

Given wind surgery since his last start when second at Haydock in December, THE GRAFTER has been consistent since switching to hurdles and he still looks on a workable mark, despite a 2lb rise for that latest effort. The six-year-old may have too much for The Grey Man, who has been raised 4lb for a determined success over shorter at Leicester recently. Completing the shortlist are Bellbird, Clinton Lane and Risk D'Argent.

A case can be made for a few of these but the vote goes to THE GREY MAN who impressed when going in at Leicester and can make light of a 4 lb rise. The Grafter rates a big threat though on the back of his promising Haydock second, while Risk d'Argent, Clinton Lane and The Secret Pearl all need factoring in too.

The only one to give the progressive winner any sort of race when third here on his seasonal debut, RISK D'ARGENT gets the vote.

1	9 1st (9) (4/1 +27%) El Rio		4 4/1(+27%)																															(9) El Rio 4/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who has won a pair of handicap chases around 2½m this autumn, impressing with his accurate jumping at Sandown. Good third in 8-runner C&D handicap 6 weeks ago, likely to have been closer still but for a bad mistake last. That looks solid form and he's one to consider. Ran creditably in the novice handicap chase over C&D on Boxing Day; solid and respected.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 -10%) Triple Trade		11 11/1(-10%)																															(10) Triple Trade 11/1, Course winner who was successful twice in 2023/24. Good fifth in Red Rum at Aintree final start but is struggling to recapture his best form this term, seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (2m) 27 days ago. Tongue strap goes on now stepping back up in trip. Defied an 11lb higher mark at Ascot on last attempt at this sort of distance.
3	7 3rd (7) (2/1 +43%) Flegmatik		2 2/1(+43%)																															(7) Flegmatik 2/1, Very useful handicap chaser at his best, successful from 6 lb higher mark over 3m here 13 months ago. Low-key start to present campaign but showed more spark from his easing mark when third at Ascot (21f) 3 weeks ago. Record here a particularly good one and blinkers could put an extra edge on him. Good record at Kempton features three wins and he returns here off a very attractive mark.
4	5 4th (5) (16/1 -33%) Galop De Chasse		16 16/1(-33%)																															(5) Galop De Chasse 16/1, Won his only start of last season at Newbury (19.9f) and resumed from 12 months off with respectable placed efforts at Wetherby/Newbury. Reportedly bled when pulled up at Ascot on latest start but given a 48-day break ahead of this. Type to bounce back. Normally consistent but turned in a stinker last time; others preferred.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 -8%) Issar D'airy		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(6) Issar D'airy 13/2, Dual Newbury winner at around 2m last winter who has returned to action in good order, reacting well to a positive ride when runner-up behind the upwardly-mobile Libberty Hunter at Cheltenham (16.3f) 55 days ago. Effective at this longer trip and not discounted from this sort of mark. Has useful 2m form over fences; gained both hurdles wins at about 2m4f; in the mix.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -100%) Crebilly		10 10/1(-100%)																															(1) Crebilly 10/1, Did well over fences last term, his highlight coming when a fine second in Plate Handicap at the Cheltenham Festival. Never figured on return over hurdles in the autumn but shaped as if back in good heart returned to chasing when third at Windsor (2m) 3 weeks ago. Step back up in trip a plus here. Runner-up off this mark at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival on most recent 2m4f chase start.
2	2 |PU| (2) (9/1 +25%) Sans Bruit		9 9/1(+25%)																															(2) Sans Bruit 9/1, Ran out a fine winner of the Red Rum Handicap at Aintree back in April and posted creditable placed efforts on first 2 starts this season. Had excuses since, a switch to hold up tactics not seeming to suit when fifth in handicap chase at Windsor latest. Mark has eased now stepped back up in trip. Campaigned mostly at about 2m for current yard; not crying out for step back up in trip.
4	4 |PU| (4) (10/1 -18%) Lounge Lizard		10 10/1(-18%)																															(4) Lounge Lizard 10/1, Signed off last term with success at Huntingdon in March and shaped better than distance beaten when third of 7 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20.9f, soft, 4/1) on return in December. Not at best when fourth in stronger company at Cheltenham 37 days ago but this more suitable with blinkers back on. Suited by sharp/flat tracks and should take well to Kempton; on last winning mark.
8	8 |PU| (8) (12/1 +33%) Straw Fan Jack		12 12/1(+33%)																															(8) Straw Fan Jack 12/1, Smart form as a novice and standout effort of an otherwise low-key campaign last season was his fine third in the 20.6f Plate at the Cheltenham Festival. No easy task from out of weights in Paddy Power on return but let down by jumping at Doncaster (3m) in December. Quickly back down in trip now. Not solid on this season's efforts and has failed to win since 2022.
11	11 |PU| (11) (150/1 -200%) Equinus		150 150/1(-200%)																															(11) Equinus 150/1, Fairly useful winner at 25f over hurdles for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Early faller on his return/chase debut starting out for new yard at Aintree (25f) 3 months ago and whilst this should reveal more, others make greater appeal. Engaged 4.30 Doncaster Thursday. Early faller at Aintree on stable/chase debut; best watched.

FLEGMATIK loves it around here and gets the vote to add another course win to his CV. Dan Skelton's charge is 6lb below his last winning mark and, after shaping with plenty of promise when third in a deeper race over 2m5f at Ascot last month, he ticks plenty of boxes. Lounge Lizard predictably found a few too good in a warm Cheltenham handicap last time out but, eased 2lb with his sights lowered, he looks capable of playing a hand. Issar D'Airy is respected most of the remainder.

FLEGMATIK is now into the veteran stage but he displayed more spark than previously this season when a good third from his reduced mark at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Boasting an impressive record at this track, it's interesting connections now opt for first-time blinkers and he could be worth chancing to come out on top. El Rio has made a solid start over fences and he, along with Issar d'Airy and Crebilly head up the dangers in a competitive affair.

The eyecatcher is three-time course winner FLEGMATIK (nap), who looks very attractively treated back here. El Rio is second pick.

1	5 1st (5) (6/1 +8%) The Thames Lady		6 6/1(+8%)																															(5) The Thames Lady 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/2, seventh of 9 in novice at this course (7f) 38 days ago. Potential improver in handicaps. Not solid on racecourse achievements but there are grounds for expecting better in h'caps.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +63%) Psychodrama		2.25 9/4(+63%)																															(2) Psychodrama 9/4, Modest form. Good fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 24 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Fair 4th on last month's handicap debut at Southwell; down 2lb but more needed to win.
3	11 3rd (11) (7/1 -8%) Apple's Angel		7 7/1(-8%)																															(11) Apple's Angel 7/1, 22/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago, always holding on. Should remain competitive after a 2 lb nudge. Two 6f handicap wins on Polytrack; should remain competitive up 2lb.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 -56%) Blue Force One		25 25/1(-56%)																															(8) Blue Force One 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 7 in novice at Newcastle (5f). Off 157 days/gelded. First run for yard after leaving Karl Burke. Hood on first time. Makes handicap debut. Didn't progress for K Burke last season; sold for 2,600gns and gelded in Nov; now hooded.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 +15%) She Went Whoosh		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(1) She Went Whoosh 11/2, 9/2, creditable second of 6 in nursery at Nottingham (5f, soft). Off 93 days. Makes polytrack debut. Consistent on turf as a 2yo but she needs improvement for this switch to AW.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/2 -27%) Little Bittern		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(7) Little Bittern 7/2, Promising type. Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Southwell (6f) under Oliver Carmichael 21 days ago. Raised 6 lb but she almost certainly has more to offer. Big improver when winning at Southwell (handicap debut); up 6lb but full value for the win.
7th	4 7th (4) (15/2 +25%) One For Harvey		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(4) One For Harvey 15/2, Modest form. Bit below form fifth of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (5f) 78 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Showed ability, including on Polytrack, as a 2yo; needs more now handicapping.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 -20%) Dandy Khan		12 12/1(-20%)																															(6) Dandy Khan 12/1, Modest form in Ireland for Jessice Harrington. Well drawn but will need improvement to strike on debut for new yard. Showed some promise for J Harrington but hard to say she was obviously well handicapped.

Little Bittern won at Southwell last month and is entitled to be thereabouts again, but a 6lb hike makes life tougher. Apple's Angel got off the mark in determined fashion off 3lb lower at Kempton last month and she is also considered, but SHE WENT WHOOSH gets the nod. She is entitled to have improved since last seen in a Nottingham nursery and could go well on her all-weather bow.

LITTLE BITTERN still didn't look the finished article when scoring at Southwell last month and is taken to defy the handicapper. The Thames Lady is one who could improve now moving into handicaps.

The Thames Lady is an interesting handicap debutante but LITTLE BITTERN won well at Southwell and can make light of her 6lb rise.

1	2 1st (2) (3/1 +33%) Coastal Rock		3 3/1(+33%)																															(2) Coastal Rock 3/1, Offered plenty to work on in 3 qualifying runs for Harry Fry/Lucinda Russell. Disappointing when beaten favourite at Ayr (16f) on debut for new yard but appreciated stiffer test of stamina when scoring at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy). Possibly amiss when pulled up at Taunton since and now upped to 3m. Came home strongly to win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft); showed little at Taunton (2m3f, soft).
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -186%) Visual Impact		5 5/1(-186%)																															(1) Visual Impact 5/1, £100,000 after finishing runner-up in a maiden point. Only fourth sole outing in bumpers but has offered plenty more since switched to hurdling, producing her best effort to date when second in 9-runner maiden at Ayr (24.3f) 17 days ago, sticking to task. Appealing on handicap bow. 20-1 but gave the odds-on favourite a big fright in maiden at Ayr (3m, soft) 17 days ago.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/4 +69%) Fresh Speculation		1.25 5/4(+69%)																															(4) Fresh Speculation 5/4, Made a promising start in handicaps, building on his Stratford third to win 10-runner event at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) in November, suited by emphasis on stamina. Ran too badly to be true at Uttoxeter and could get back on track now stepping up to 3m. Blundered latest; considered seriously in small field over a new trip that may well suit.
4	6 4th (6) (3/1 +45%) Miami Steve		3 3/1(+45%)																															(6) Miami Steve 3/1, Improved on hurdling debut form when fourth of 9 in a Leicester maiden (20.5f) in December. Failed to improve any further at Newcastle but his opening mark looks fair and he could benefit from the step up in trip. Needs improvement on this handicap debut but the extra 3f could be a plus point.

Visual Impact found only a useful novice too strong at Ayr 17 days ago and she enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark. Coastal Rock is another to bear in mind, but this can go the way of FRESH SPECULATION. A beaten favourite at Uttoxeter last time, the Ffos Las winner could be worth another chance back on soft ground and the booking of Sam Twiston-Davies is a big plus.

VISUAL IMPACT benefited from the step up in trip when runner-up in a maiden at Ayr 17 days ago and, with her opening mark not looking especially harsh judged on that effort, she's taken to go one better under a 7-lb conditional. Gege Ville is a lightly raced 9-y-o who could have more to offer now stepping up to 3m and might be the danger.

Lucinda Russell's VISUAL IMPACT raised her game with a bold show over 3m on soft last time and is surely open to further improvement.

Likely type for leading stable. £82,000 3yo; half-brother to three French AQPS Flat winner; major yard; likely type.

4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +31%) Vol Royale		11 11/1(+31%)																															(7) Vol Royale 11/1, Successful on the second of 2 starts in British points last year. The betting should help guide to expectations on Rules debut. Readily justified favouritism in British point (second start); dam bumper winner.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/2 +0%) Bebe And Bean		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(1) Bebe And Bean 9/2, 11/2, showed plenty of ability when fifth of 13 in Southwell bumper on debut 53 days ago. Has a tongue tie added now. Big player. Faded into fifth at Southwell, nevertheless showing ability; tongue-tie now applied.
6th	8 6th (8) (125/1 -25%) Oh My Guinness		125 125/1(-25%)																															(8) Oh My Guinness 125/1, Westerner mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Kingston Retreat, stayed 3m. Dam unraced half-sister to Italian jumps winner around 2m A Plus Ma Puce. Stable 0-9 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Not a likely sort on breeding and yard is 0-11 in bumpers.
7th	3 7th (3) (66/1 -100%) Harksman		66 66/1(-100%)																															(3) Harksman 66/1, 80/1, ran to only a modest level when sixth of 11 in Hereford bumper on debut in December. Can only watch. Friendless in the betting at Hereford where he ran to an ordinary RPR.

Point-to-point winner ETNA BIANCO, a full-brother to a winning hurdler who set connections back 140,000 pounds at Cheltenham's autumn sale, boasts a solid jumps pedigree and is in good hands to make a big impact on his Rules debut. Kadastral is related to jumps winners in France and is another to note for a powerful yard. Frontier Prince, the only four-year-old in the field, gets weight all round and can figure if building on a couple of promising efforts at Ludlow and Wincanton.

BEBE AND BEAN gets the nod to build on a promising opening run at Southwell in December. Dan Skelton has an excellent 20-62 record in bumpers this season so a market mover for his newcomer Kadastral would make him a potential big threat. Frontier Prince and Kiwi Rush are others likely to have a say.

The 4yo FRONTIER PRINCE has particularly solid claims on form. Kadastral, Etna Bianco and Bebe And Bean are respected.

1	7 1st (7) (3/1 +14%) Watermelon Sugar		3 3/1(+14%)																															(7) Watermelon Sugar 3/1, C&D winner. 18/1, ran best race for some time when third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 53 days ago. Successful from a 2 lb higher mark here last year and of definite interest if building on latest run. C&D winner last April; went close at Wolverhampton in December; solid claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +33%) Brunel Charm		2 2/1(+33%)																															(3) Brunel Charm 2/1, Course winner who ended a losing run stretching back to summer 2022 in 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 6/1) 18 days ago, having run of race. Remains well treated on old form and he's respected in an open contest. Given canny ride to win at Kempton last month; retains handicapping scope up 4lb.
3	9 3rd (9) (17/2 +39%) Nordic Glory		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(9) Nordic Glory 17/2, 5-time course winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 8/1) 20 days ago, weakening over 1f out having been caught a little wider than ideal. Mark has eased a little more and he's worth a second look back at this venue. Form dipped twice since his C&D second in December; dangerous mark if reviving.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 -80%) Libra Tiger		18 18/1(-80%)																															(5) Libra Tiger 18/1, Latest win at Kempton (6f) in March. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Brighton (5.3f, soft) in September, holding every chance. Handicap has eased his grip further if he's ready to roll back from 5 months off. Ended 2024 quietly; has the widest stall to overcome back from five months off.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -14%) Arlecchino's Gift		16 16/1(-14%)																															(4) Arlecchino's Gift 16/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year, the at Wolverhampton (6f) in September. 50/1, last of 12 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f) 55 days ago, left poorly placed. Fallen back down to last winning mark. Won four times in a productive 2024; quiet the last twice but could bounce back.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 -14%) Flag Carrier		16 16/1(-14%)																															(2) Flag Carrier 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 9/1, last of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) 20 days ago, weakening quickly having refused to settle. Visor back on. Dangerous mark but dropped right away here (7f) last month; down in trip/class today.
7th	11 7th (11) (66/1 +0%) Moorgate		66 66/1(+0%)																															(11) Moorgate 66/1, Sole success came over this C&D last winter. However, recent exploits have been uninspiring, well-beaten eleventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago. Visor now the headgear of choice returned to sprinting. Not found last winter's AW form this time around; new headgear but opposable.
8th	1 8th (1) (13/2 -18%) Francisco		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(1) Francisco 13/2, Fair form in pair of starts for Andrew Balding in late 2023. Absent/sold cheaply prior to confirming he retains ability after 14 months off when second of 5 in novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago. That was a solid display with handicaps now on the agenda and he's worth a second look. Unexposed 4yo; sharper for last month's stable debut/return from a long absence.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 -14%) Dream By Day		16 16/1(-14%)																															(8) Dream By Day 16/1, 25/1, good 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Brunel Charm in handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago, no extra last ½f. That was his first start for 10 weeks and he's entitled to be sharper with that under his belt. More promising signs when fourth at Kempton last month; now has something to build on.
10th	6 10th (6) (28/1 -12%) Alfa Moonstone		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) Alfa Moonstone 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Craig Lidster when ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, AW, 28/1) 78 days ago. Others more persuasive. 28-1 and never in the hunt on her stable debut here (5f) in November; hood off today.
11th	10 11th (10) (11/1 +31%) Fai Fai		11 11/1(+31%)																															(10) Fai Fai 11/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Not disgraced from a tricky draw when seventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago. Better showing not ruled out returned to class 6 company. Fine C&D run in December but less good twice since; return to Lingfield needs to revive.

Last month's Kempton winner Brunel Charm must enter calculations in his current mood and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, WATERMELON SUGAR is now 2lb lower than his C&D victory in April 2024 and the six-year-old looks slightly better treated than the former having been dropped 1lb after a close-up third at Wolverhampton in December. Francisco and Dream By Day are others to consider in an open-looking contest.

WATERMELON SUGAR took a big step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton in December and, operating 2 lb below his last winning mark, he could well be ready to strike. Unsurprisingly this is competitive though, with Nordic Glory, Kempton scorer Brunel Charm and handicap debutant Francisco others on the shortlist.

The unexposed Francisco can go well but WATERMELON SUGAR, representing a yard going well, could be the answer.

1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +40%) Symbol Of Light		6 6/1(+40%)																															(3) Symbol Of Light 6/1, Shaped well after 8 months off when fourth of 7 at Newcastle (8f) on New Year's Day. Unable to sustain effort when tenth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at the same C&D 3 weeks ago, but he could bounce back dropped in grade. Failed to build on earlier promise when tenth at Newcastle latest; not written off.
2	8 2nd (8) (2/1 +60%) Cracking Gold		2 2/1(+60%)																															(8) Cracking Gold 2/1, Won on all-weather first 2 starts last year and acquitted himself well in handicaps subsequently, fourth of 6 at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 10/3) when last seen in August (gelded since). One to note with cheekpieces applied. Off since a good fourth at Newmarket in August; since gelded and remains with potential.
3	11 3rd (11) (16/1 -60%) Enola Grey		16 16/1(-60%)																															(11) Enola Grey 16/1, C&D winner and gained reward for consistent spell when scoring at Wolverhampton in December. Again not seen to best effect when third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 11/2) 13 days ago, shuffled back 2f out. Could be in the mix. C&D scorer and a good third at Newcastle 13 days ago; firmly in the picture eased 1lb.
4	10 4th (10) (7/1 -8%) Bajan Bandit		7 7/1(-8%)																															(10) Bajan Bandit 7/1, Having dropped in the weights, returned to winning ways in 12-runner handicap (11/1) at this C&D 15 days ago. Scored readily last time and he could still have more to offer as he makes only his third all-weather start. Ended a lengthy losing run over C&D 15 days ago; up 4lb but is not taken lightly.
5th	13 5th (13) (14/1 -65%) Eligible		14 14/1(-65%)																															(13) Eligible 14/1, Successful 3 times at this course last year, including twice in December. Better than he could show when fourth of 11 in handicap here (7.1f, 10/1) 23 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Can make his presence felt. C&D winner in December and an excellent fourth here since; form been franked so a player.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 -18%) Empirestateofmind		10 10/1(-18%)																															(7) Empirestateofmind 10/1, Took advantage of much-reduced mark when scoring at York in October. Has continued in decent heart since, having run of the race when second of 7 in handicap (6/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago. Respected. Scored at York (1m) in October and he's continued in good nick; can go well again up 1lb.
7th	5 7th (5) (8/1 +20%) Nikovo		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Nikovo 8/1, Made second start for current yard a winning one at Newcastle (8f) in December, before unsuited by way race developed when fifth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at the same C&D 3 weeks ago. Can give his running again. Won at Newcastle in December and a good fifth there since; he must enter calculations.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -100%) Golden Pharaoh		80 80/1(-100%)																															(12) Golden Pharaoh 80/1, Fairly useful winner in France and ran close to that level on first 3 starts for current yard. However, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to firm, 66/1) in August and off 6 months ahead of tapeta debut. Resumes from six months off (gelded) but still enters calculations on his Tapeta debut.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 +10%) Diderot		9 9/1(+10%)																															(1) Diderot 9/1, Useful performer on all-weather though went without a win last year, lesser effort when eighth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 10/1) 57 days ago. Below his last winning mark but more needed to take advantage. Beat only one home at Chelmsford in December; needs to get back on track.
10th	9 10th (9) (20/1 +0%) Tropez Power		20 20/1(+0%)																															(9) Tropez Power 20/1, Three-time course winner, with latest success here last April. After 5 months off, last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 16/1) 13 days ago, so will need to take a big step forward from that outing. Last in 7f Newcastle handicap on return 13 days ago; again goes without usual headgear.
11th	6 11th (6) (11/1 +21%) Kind Of Kiss		11 11/1(+21%)																															(6) Kind Of Kiss 11/1, Fairly useful form in France, winning maiden at Fontainebleau on second start. After 7 months off, first run since leaving A. Fabre when seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 20/1) 3 weeks ago. Has something to find. Solid seventh on his yard/handicap debut at Newcastle three weeks ago; possibilities.
12th	4 12th (4) (16/1 -33%) Thunder Roar		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) Thunder Roar 16/1, Ended last season in top form, building on run of in-frame efforts when winning 8-runner handicap at Redcar (8f, heavy, 4/7) in October. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 3 months off with cheekpieces added. Won at Redcar in October; has gone well when fresh so needs considering after a break.

Bajan Bandit went in by a length over C&D on his latest outing and is only 4lb higher for that triumph, but this step up in grade might catch him out. With that in mind, EMPIRESTATEOFMIND gets the vote. The seven-year-old had Enola Grey (third) behind when hitting the woodwork over 7f at Newcastle last time and can confirm that form in order to go one better. Last-time-out Redcar scorer Thunder Roar sports first-time cheekpieces and is another to consider.

ELIGIBLE ended last year as good as ever, winning twice at this course in December, and he could be able to add to his tally having not been seen to best effect when fourth here on his latest outing. Heading the list of dangers is Symbol of Light, who is worth another chance back down in grade, while Empirestateofmind also merits consideration.

Lots with chances but ELIGIBLE goes really well here and can resume winning ways on the back of an excellent fourth last time out.

1	2 1st (2) (6/1 +8%) Jered Maddox		6 6/1(+8%)																															(2) Jered Maddox 6/1, 7-time course winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Laytown in September. 50/1, good third of 11 in handicap at this course (6f) 56 days ago. Nine-time winner on this surface, including over this trip; can go well after a break.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/4 +58%) Never Shout Never		1.25 5/4(+58%)																															(3) Never Shout Never 5/4, 7/2, won 10-runner C&D handicap 63 days ago by head from Sporting Hero. Likely to give another good account. C&D winner latest; likely to go close again with the stable in terrific form at this venue.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 +8%) Sporting Hero		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(4) Sporting Hero 11/2, Course winner in November. Also close second to Never Shout Never over C&D in December. Might just have needed the outing after a short break when respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (7/2) at this course (6f) 9 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Ordinary effort over this trip last week and probably a shade more effective over 6f.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +38%) Dontspoilasale		4 4/1(+38%)																															(1) Dontspoilasale 4/1, Course winner over 6f in November. 9/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. 6f winner here; might just need a little more leeway from the handicapper though.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 +35%) Li Ban		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(6) Li Ban 13/2, Fairly useful performer. Tailed-off last of 10 to Deauville (8f, heavy, 21/1) when last seen in October. First run for yard after leaving Raphael Freire. Makes handicap debut. Debuts for Adrian Murray and the drop back to five may not be ideal.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -50%) Crystal Luna		18 18/1(-50%)																															(7) Crystal Luna 18/1, C&D winner in December. Last of 6 in handicap (15/2) at this course (6f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Poor run over 6f here latest (in season); back over 5f will probably help here though.

A chance can be taken on JERED MADDOX, who bounced back to form when finishing a close-up third over 6f here in December. David Marnane's gelding hasn't always been the most consistent but he won from 4lb higher over C&D last April and ought to go very close if building on that latest effort. On target over track and trip last time out, Never Shout Never is completely unexposed on the surface and must be respected off just 2lb higher, along with Mint Man.

SPORTING HERO might have just needed the outing after a short break here last week and should be spot on now. Never Shout Never, who edged out the selection over C&D in December, and Mint Man are also likely to be in the thick of things.

Preference is for NEVER SHOUT NEVER, closely handicapped with Sporting Glory from two runs here, but is more effective over 5f

1	10 1st (10) (14/1 +30%) Chosen Bae		14 14/1(+30%)																															(10) Chosen Bae 14/1, Placed in Irish points but pulled up on Newton Abbot hurdle debut in July 2023 and beaten a long way both starts this winter. Goes handicapping now from a low base but big leap forward required if she's to feature. No worthwhile in her three hurdle races but goes handicapping and needs a market check.
2	6 2nd (6) (18/1 +10%) Miss Pearl		18 18/1(+10%)																															(6) Miss Pearl 18/1, Found to be lame after finishing fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) back in July 2023. Easy to back and shaped as if needing the run after 18 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f) 23 days ago but this should reveal more. 9yo mare who is a nine-race maiden; absent 546 days before well beaten at 125-1 last month.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 -33%) Walkinthecotswolds		2 2/1(-33%)																															(2) Walkinthecotswolds 2/1, Handles testing ground well and improved on back of a breathing operation/addition of a tongue strap when making all in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.5f, heavy) 10 days ago. Escapes a penalty for that success and she's one for the shortlist. Wind op and tongue-tie, made all at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) ten days ago off the same mark.
4	7 4th (7) (10/3 +70%) Auntie Maggie		3.333333 10/3(+70%)																															(7) Auntie Maggie 10/3, Third on sole start in Irish points and showed some promise when runner-up on second start in maiden hurdles here (2m) in May. Weakened out of things on return/handicap debut at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago but that was her first start for 7 months and her yard have been amongst the winners. Front-runs; off 211 days before beaten 26l on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft).
5th	8 5th (8) (80/1 +20%) Prairie Queen		80 80/1(+20%)																															(8) Prairie Queen 80/1, Has looked limited in bumpers and over hurdles, including pulled up on handicap debut at Plumpton in December. A first-time tongue tie needs to spark improvement. Yet to show any worthwhile form, pulled up when 66-1 for handicap debut at Plumpton (2m5f).
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 +21%) Barra Blue		11 11/1(+21%)																															(4) Barra Blue 11/1, Left her maiden form in this sphere well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) in December. However, failed by a long chalk to replicate that form in 2 starts since. Needs to bounce back. Won in fine style on handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, heavy); ran badly both races since.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/3 -48%) Wrappedinrubies		3.333333 10/3(-48%)																															(1) Wrappedinrubies 10/3, Showed some ability in mares' maiden hurdles last season and, despite being easy to back following 8 months off, she displayed improved form to make a winning start in handicaps at Catterick (19.3f) 52 days ago. Respected nudged up 4 lb. 20-1, snatched the win on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December; up 4lb.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/1 -40%) Edmond		7 7/1(-40%)																															(3) Edmond 7/1, Fair bumper winner for Rod Millman who has made little impact in trio of maiden/novice hurdles for new yard this winter. Switch to handicaps in her favour here with cheekpieces refitted and the betting can prove a useful guide. Handicapping should make her more interesting and cheekpieces (worn for bumper win) return.
9th	9 9th (9) (100/1 -52%) Nancy Till		100 100/1(-52%)																															(9) Nancy Till 100/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points but little show over hurdles and fared no better in 2 tries chasing 12 months apart, tailed off when falling 5 out at Exeter (17.5f) 50 days ago. Hard to make a case for back over smaller obstacles. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Modest at best; fell last time on second chase start, after a year off; tries cheekpieces.
10th	5 10th (5) (50/1 +0%) Flora Paget		50 50/1(+0%)																															(5) Flora Paget 50/1, Showed some promise over hurdles during early 2023 but missed whole of last year and her run at Warwick 18 days ago following 19 months on the sidelines offered little encouragement. Passed over returned to handicaps. Never dangerous at 40-1 on handicap debut (2m4f) in June 2023; pulled up sole start since.

The combination of a 236-day break and entry into handicap company proved just the trick for WRAPPEDINRUBIES when opening her account at Catterick in December. Donald McCain's mare is entitled to build on that seasonal bow and she's fancied to make light work of a 4lb nudge up in the ratings. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Chepstow winner Walkinthecotswolds, while market support for handicap debutant Edmond would be interesting.

WALKINTHECOTSWOLDS showed the benefit of wind surgery/fitting of a tongue tie when opening her account in good style at Chepstow last week and, unpenalised for that, she makes a good deal of appeal again with underfoot conditions holding no fears. Fellow last-time-out winner Wrappedinrubies rates next best for Donald McCain. Handicap debutant Edmond and Auntie Maggie are others worth a look.

Walkinthecotswolds has the same mark as when winning ten days ago. WRAPPEDINRUBIES brings potential after a winning handicap debut.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler Hannon and fair hurdler Duleek Street. Dam unraced. Runner up on second of 2 starts in Irish points in November and trainer’s newcomers command respect. Rules debutant whose trainer has an excellent record in this race; interesting.

Entitled to improve and merits consideration. Almost 5l behind Edward Sexton at Sandown but could bridge the gap with improvement likely.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 -25%) Edward Sexton		2.5 5/2(-25%)																															(4) Edward Sexton 5/2, Made a promising start when second in Sandown bumper under this rider in November, edged out only by a stable companion with pointing experience. Likely more to come and looks the one to beat. Out of a useful bumper winner; mounted a strong late challenge at Sandown; leading claims.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +27%) Surrey Lord		8 8/1(+27%)																															(7) Surrey Lord 8/1, Posted promising third on NH debut at Uttoxeter in November and ran to similar level when fifth of 12 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) 57 days ago. Ought to give another good account. Bare form gives him something to find in this field.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 -20%) Choice Runner		6 6/1(-20%)																															(3) Choice Runner 6/1, Shaped as if run was needed when fifth of 10 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 93 days ago and can be expected to improve on that. Chepstow effort has received a couple of boosts; likely to improve; shortlisted.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -113%) Amazing Cleni		16 16/1(-113%)																															(1) Amazing Cleni 16/1, Bred for longer trips than this but offered something to work on when fourth of 12 in bumper (33/1) at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 38 days ago. Could be in the mix. Showed ability at Warwick but likely needs improvement to win this contest.

Dam, bumper/2m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 21f) Cultivator. Rare NH runner for yard and is worth monitoring in market.

Market should prove best guide to claims on debut. Newcomer; the subject of positive words in Stable Tour; possibilities.

Chris Gordon won both divisions of this last year and his Bold Action warrants a betting check on his debut under Rules. However, EDWARD SEXTON posted a most encouraging effort to finish second when introduced in a similar event at Sandown in November and, sure to be wiser, he can go one place better. Old Park Star, a respectable third in that race, is feared most, although Amazing Cleni and Choice Runner could also go well.

EDWARD SEXTON only narrowly failed to make a winning debut at Sandown in November and sets the standard on that form. He can go one better in the finale. Old Park Star and Choice Runner look the likeliest dangers.

Edward Sexton and Old Park Star bring the best form, while BOLD ACTION and Choice Runner are interesting types.

1	3 1st (3) (5/4 +100%) Backer Bilk		1.25 5/4(+100%)																															(3) Backer Bilk 5/4, Down the field in trio of maiden/novice events but well backed, showed improved form when second on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 6 days ago, staying on final 1f having been shuffled back early on. High on the shortlist here. Well backed and showed much more when a close 2nd on last week's h'cap debut (8.6f); solid.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +31%) Emily Rebecca		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(2) Emily Rebecca 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fared no better than previously on qualifying run when last of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 49 days ago. However, she's certainly not without hope on pedigree and this switch to handicaps can see her in a better light. Up in trip. Not quick enough for 7f in her three novice runs; should be seen to better effect here.
3	4 3rd (4) (50/1 -52%) Bear Baby		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) Bear Baby 50/1, Muhaarar filly who has offered very little all 3 starts in novice/maiden company so application of cheekpieces/switch to handicaps needs to bring about a good deal of improvement if she's to feature over this longer trip. Poor form in three novice/maiden runs at up to 8.6f; reasons to expect better this time.
4	1 4th (1) (11/10 +0%) Ignition		1.1 11/10(+0%)																															(1) Ignition 11/10, Not long with this yard and he posted best effort to date sporting first-time blinkers when very good third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/4) 6 days ago, snatched up 2f out before finishing well and just failing. Unexposed at this trip and he's of interest at this level. Close 3rd (unlucky) at Wolverhampton six days ago; obvious claims and likely to stay.

Hard to fancy on what he's achieved to date. Poor form in four starts, including his handicap debut seven weeks ago; too much to prove.

Having found only a progressive rival too strong on his handicap bow over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton six days ago, compensation could be on the cards for BACKER BILK. The gelded son of Ulysses is due to go up 2lb in the future and he should take plenty of stopping if seeing out today's 1m2f trip. Fellow in-form rival Ignition is a potential improver now also upped in distance and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Emily Rebecca.

BACKER BILK showed much improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Wolverhampton 6 days ago and he shades the vote to come out on top now his stamina is tested further. Ignition never had the rub of the green when placed himself at Wolverhampton recently and he's a big threat. Emily Rebecca needs monitoring on handicap debut, too.

Emily Rebecca rates a likely improver now handicapping but BACKER BILK can gain compensation for last week's narrow defeat.

Looks up to scoring again under a penalty. Cosily went 3-3 for new yard at Wolverhampton ten days ago; big shout under a 4lb penalty.

C&D winner but he comes here below par; others appeal more.

Enters calculations as she moves further up in distance. Belatedly got off the mark in h'cap at Newcastle 13 days ago; up 3lb but not discounted.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 +8%) Global Resolve		11 11/1(+8%)																															(4) Global Resolve 11/1, Followed a good run with a below-par one when eleventh of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Lingfield (10f) 66 days ago. Given a longer break since and he's capable of getting involved if on a going day. Remains a maiden and he beat only one in 1m2f Lingfield handicap in December.
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -32%) Keen Interest		33 33/1(-32%)																															(12) Keen Interest 33/1, Doubled his tally at Newcastle in November. Lesser effort when last of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Lingfield (12f) 38 days ago, though did have a wide trip. Others still more persuasive. Scored at Newcastle but last in Lingfield handicap since; he's not one to rely on.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -38%) Jaamir		22 22/1(-38%)																															(7) Jaamir 22/1, Improved when fourth at Chelmsford (8f) on handicap debut but well held both starts since, last of 12 in handicap (28/1) at the same course (7f) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Failed to beat a rival in handicaps here and at Chelmsford last month; lots more needed.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -83%) Lhebayeb		33 33/1(-83%)																															(6) Lhebayeb 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Placed at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in November/December but below form last 2 starts, ninth of 10 in minor event (6/1) at the same C&D 11 days ago. Needs to get back on track. It's 11 starts since last win but raced wide when ninth at Wolver latest; no forlorn hope.
10th	10 10th (10) (125/1 -468%) Keeper Of Secrets		125 125/1(-468%)																															(10) Keeper Of Secrets 125/1, Has offered little in 3 starts so far, last of 11 in maiden (250/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 36 days ago. Hood and tongue strap applied as he goes back up in trip for handicap debut. Has failed to beat a rival on all his three runs to date; has plenty to prove.
11th	8 11th (8) (33/1 -83%) Mist Rollin In		33 33/1(-83%)																															(8) Mist Rollin In 33/1, Placed in first 2 handicaps last year but below form both subsequent outings, ninth of 11 at this course (8.1f, 7/1) when last seen in September. Up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Declan Carroll. Below par in the summer for Declan Carroll; needs yard switch to spark a resurgence.

INIT TOGETHER is unbeaten in three starts since joining Tony Carroll, with his most recent success coming over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton. The seven-year-old carries a 4lb penalty for that triumph, but that is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. Eva Rosie shed her maiden tag in this grade at Newcastle last month and would be foolish to dismiss off 3lb higher, while previous C&D winner Come On John is another to keep an eye on.

INIT TOGETHER maintained his unbeaten record since joining Tony Carroll when getting the better of an improving rival at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and he can land the 4-timer in his current form. Come On John had been proving consistent prior to his latest run and could be the main danger with his regular cheekpieces back on, ahead of Eva Rosie.

Tony Carroll's thriving INIT TOGETHER can defy a penalty for last week's Wolverhampton success and complete his four-timer.

1	4 1st (4) (8/11 +100%) Valiant Force		0.727273 8/11(+100%)																															(4) Valiant Force 8/11, Useful colt. Latest win over the minimum trip here in October. 14/1, creditable ¼-length fourth of 13 to Ostraka in Mercury Stakes at this course (5f) later that month, running on. Well worth another crack at this trip on that evidence and he could be worth siding with. High-class juvenile sprinter in 2023, back to something like his best here in October.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 -13%) Harry's Bar		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(3) Harry's Bar 9/2, Useful gelding. 4-time C&D winner. Fifteen wins from 58 Flat runs. 13/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (7f) 51 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he's a likely candidate to bounce back. Did well to get within 3/4l of Valiant Force over 5f in October, that rival is preferred.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -177%) Big Gossey		4.5 9/2(-177%)																															(1) Big Gossey 9/2, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner minor event at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) in November, asserting final 100 yds and driven out. Big player on these terms on return from a break. Curragh specialist with a 2-18 record at this venue, rated the equal of Valiant Force.
4	2 4th (2) (40/1 -43%) Genesis		40 40/1(-43%)																															(2) Genesis 40/1, Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, headed over 1f out and no extra. Should be sharper now given that was his first run for 5 months but this a tough ask on these terms. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Useful C&D form, faces an unenviable task against three much superior rivals.

It's been a while since Big Gossey last won on the all-weather but he is weighted to go very well. Although respected, it looks best to side with VALIANT FORCE. The four-year-old, who landed the Norfolk Stakes in 2023 before going on to finish a close second to Big Evs in the Juvenile Turf Sprint at the Breeders' Cup that year, gained a confidence-boosting success by defeating Harry's Bar (second) here in October before running well in a Group 3 latest.

A winner over 5f here in October, VALIANT FORCE again shaped well, not least with a view to stepping back up to this trip, when fourth in Group 3 company back here later that month. He earns the vote to come out on top, ahead of the highly-admirable Big Gossey.

Two solid displays here in October are enough to sway the vote in favour of VALIANT FORCE over the identically-rated Big Gossey

TREMORGIO made a good impression when victorious on his debut at Newmarket in October and is likely to have plenty more to offer. With Oisin Murphy booked, it would be no surprise to see him carry his 7lb penalty to success. Atlantic Sunset took a sizeable step forward from his first start when second at Kempton last month and he has to be respected. Broker Charlie could improve on his debut fifth at Lingfield and isn't out of it either.

TREMORGIO created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking at Newmarket in October and looks hard to beat here with improvement very much on the cards. Broker Charlie can build on his debut Lingfield fifth and can chase home Charlie Appleby's son of Dubawi, with Atlantic Sunset next best.

Charlie Appleby's TREMORGIO overcame inexperience to make a winning start at Newmarket and he looks well up to defying a 7lb penalty.

Significantly back up in trip. Getting better and got to be respected. Previous try over this trip was far from convincing; has a chance if he stays.

Significantly up in trip. Much respected on his handicap debut. Will likely appreciate step up in trip but a mark of 80 would not appear overly generous.

5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 -115%) Ted Hastings		14 14/1(-115%)																															(5) Ted Hastings 14/1, Good fourth of 14 in handicap (15/2) at York (16.2f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Not taken lightly. Not seen since fourth in a 2m handicap at York last July; best watched on his AW debut.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/5 +47%) Jabbar		1.2 6/5(+47%)																															(1) Jabbar 6/5, Resumed winning ways in 6-runner minor event at this C&D (11/10) 21 days ago by 6½ lengths from Jerandme, pushed out. Merits serious consideration. 5lb rise for that gives him a fair chance of following up; excellent 5lb claimer on board.

Persian Bliss went in by a neck over 1m4f at this venue on his latest outing and should have no issues with this step back up in trip. Even so, JABBAR makes more appeal. Gerard O'Leary's six-year-old put Jerandme (second) to the sword over C&D last month and is expected to confirm that form to complete a double. Pavilion End struck by a short head on his first start on the Flat here last month and isn't out of it either.

A few with chances but JABBAR looks the way to go on the back of his wide-margin C&D victory. Jerandme chased home the selection that day and is again next on the list ahead of the returning Ted Hastings and Persian Bliss.

This should go the way of top-weight JABBAR, impressive winner over Jerandme over C&D with just a 5lb penalty to cope with

STANLEY SPENCER came up short in his hat-trick bid last time out, when sent over 7f for the first time at Kempton. James Tate's gelding had otherwise been progressive over 6f and with the return to this trip is his favour, it would come as no surprise were he to make an immediate return to the winner's enclosure. Many A Star defeated Ormolulu (second) over C&D a fortnight ago, and the pair ought to be closely matched once again.

STANLEY SPENCER comes here in the form of his life so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways after an excellent Kempton second. There won't be much between Ormolulu and Many A Star again and they seem sure to go well.

Only half a length separated MANY A STAR and Ormolulu over C&D last month, but the former looks a rather more straightforward ride.

Cee En Gee won in good style over a mile at this track on debut in December and is likely to have plenty more to offer. However, he might find it tough to get the better of QUEENS FURY. Adrian Murray's three-year-old sets the standard with a rating of 88 after shedding her maiden tag over C&D in November and she could be the one to beat again. Ze Do Asfalto is next best.

It's likely we haven't seen the best of CEE EN GEE, who was a comfortable winner on debut here in December. He can follow up. Queens Fury rates the principal danger.

CEE EN GEE overcame considerable greenness to win on debut here in December and above average improvement is likely

Now two from two in his career following last month's Newcastle romp, Rebel's Gamble merits plenty of respect. Karl Burke's colt looks potentially smart but an opening mark of 95 doesn't appear to be a gift and HUMAM is preferred. Andrew Balding's charge duly opened his account at Lingfield last month and the son of Kodiac could score again. Yes I'm Mali is also noted.

HUMAM had a good bit in hand when scoring at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and can defy what looks a fair opening mark. The unbeaten Rebel's Gamble is the obvious threat.

Rebel's Gamble looked a nice prospect when 2-2 last month but he has to concede 15lb to HUMAM who is also open to further progress.

8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 +0%) Eagles Whistle		33 33/1(+0%)																															(5) Eagles Whistle 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Work to do. Down the field over C&D on handicap debut, well held by Roderick on that running.
9th	11 9th (11) (12/1 +25%) Royal Tribute		12 12/1(+25%)																															(11) Royal Tribute 12/1, Course winner. Two wins from 45 Flat runs. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 28 days ago, not much room. Others more persuasive. 1-28 AW record does not inspire much confidence but his recent course form is respectable.
10th	9 10th (9) (40/1 -21%) Harbanaker		40 40/1(-21%)																															(9) Harbanaker 40/1, C&D winner. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D. Off 14 months. First run for yard after leaving James McAuley. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Likely to need this outing. Two of his three wins have been over C&D, long absence to overcome, cheekpieces tried now.
11th	13 11th (13) (14/1 -75%) Turbo Sprint		14 14/1(-75%)																															(13) Turbo Sprint 14/1, 16/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Warrants respect. Now a 24-race maiden and never in the first three in 17 AW runs, makes little appeal.
12th	8 12th (8) (14/1 -40%) Chummie		14 14/1(-40%)																															(8) Chummie 14/1, C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Laytown (6f, 20/1). Off 144 days. Significantly back up in trip. Has good chance on pick of form. Probably found 6f too sharp at Laytown last time, previous C&D third gives her a chance.
13th	6 13th (6) (14/1 +58%) Spirit Of Paradise		14 14/1(+58%)																															(6) Spirit Of Paradise 14/1, Blinkered for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft, 33/1). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Noel Meade. Lightly best watched. Generally regressive since leaving Jessica Harrington in 2023, hard to make a case for her.
14th	14 14th (14) (25/1 +0%) Zero Fighter		25 25/1(+0%)																															(14) Zero Fighter 25/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this course (7f). Off 112 days. Others more appealing. In fair form at this venue around this time last year, below his best later in the year.

This can go the way of MISS ABBY JOOLS, who has done well since joining the Timothy Doyle stable despite not getting her head in front. The six-year-old is best judged on her neck second over C&D two starts ago, and she can uphold form with Rockbury Lad (fourth) and Little Keilee (sixth) from that contest. Royal Tribute has a long losing run to overcome, but he did run well when second over this track and trip in December.

MISS ABBY JOOLS figures off a handy mark and has acquitted herself well in both starts for her new yard. She can land the spoils. Saxon Kingdom and Rockbury Lad should also go well.

The vote goes to MISS ABBY JOOLS, a reliable sort at this venue with a record of two wins and our placing from eight visits

1	7 1st (7) (15/8 -7%) Neptune Legend		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(7) Neptune Legend 15/8, Modest gelding. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Very good second of 10 in minor event (5/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there. Beaten a nose by an in-form rival at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; high on list.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 -50%) Miss Calculation		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(5) Miss Calculation 15/2, Modest mare. Creditable fourth of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f, 13/2) 8 days ago. Place claims. Fair form lately; a stiffer test may suit her ideally but she still shouldn't be far away.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 +57%) Vivency		6 6/1(+57%)																															(9) Vivency 6/1, Modest mare. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 7 days ago. Usually seen over further these days and is just 2-36.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 -60%) Ustath		16 16/1(-60%)																															(8) Ustath 16/1, Modest gelding. 4-time C&D winner. Fourth of 11 in minor event (25/1) at this course (5f) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Front-runner who has won seven times around here, but not at his best lately.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +33%) Magic Fluke		5 5/1(+33%)																															(4) Magic Fluke 5/1, Poor gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Third of 11 in minor event (5/1) at this course (5f) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Pick of his form last winter would give him solid claims and he ran with credit last time.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/4 +45%) Hello Zabeel		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(2) Hello Zabeel 11/4, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 14 days ago. Merits consideration. Losing run up to 16, but has won over C&D and drops to this level for the first time.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -100%) Motagally		40 40/1(-100%)																															(6) Motagally 40/1, Thirty two runs since last win in 2020. Last of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f, 80/1) 8 days ago. Losing run up to 32 and latest efforts don't suggest the drought is about to end.
8th	3 8th (3) (50/1 -150%) Lochaber		50 50/1(-150%)																															(3) Lochaber 50/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 33/1) 20 days ago. 1-24 and recent efforts suggest he may struggle, even in a race like this.
9th	1 9th (1) (80/1 -220%) Hallie Angel		80 80/1(-220%)																															(1) Hallie Angel 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Moderate in five starts including in a similar contest at Wolverhampton cheekpieces on.

Neptune Legend arrives having finished second in a couple of similar events recently and he ought to go close again, but the vote goes to HELLO ZABEEL. Michael Blake's charge has been running with some credit in handicaps of late and now eased into classified company, he should be capable of going well. Others to note include Magic Fluke and Miss Calculation.

A good opportunity for NEPTUNE LEGEND who was only just denied in a similar event at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and has the assistance of Rossa Ryan. Hello Zabeel rates the main threat under a good-value claimer, with Miss Calculation best of the others.

The selection is C&D winnerHELLO ZABEEL (nap) who is the only one in the field never to have raced at this level before.

1	2 1st (2) (3/1 -20%) Perfect Judgement		3 3/1(-20%)																															(2) Perfect Judgement 3/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (2/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, driven out. Must be respected in hat-trick bid. Up 10lb for those two wins and has been given a decent chance to make it a hat-trick.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/4 +21%) Elegant Madame		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(6) Elegant Madame 11/4, 14/1, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Can give another good account. Lost out in a three-way photo back over 1m here last week; should go close again.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +25%) Catch The Paddy		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(1) Catch The Paddy 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Seventh of 8 in minor event (10/3) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. C&D winner; respectable efforts last twice; others more likely but should run his race.
4	3 4th (3) (22/1 -214%) Migdam		22 22/1(-214%)																															(3) Migdam 22/1, C&D winner. 17/2 and visored for 1st time, third of 5 in minor event at this course (12f) 7 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Looks competitive on form. Returned from a year absence in December and has struggled, including over 1m4f last week.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 +0%) Wrob And Wryan		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Wrob And Wryan 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 12 in maiden at this course (10.7f, 7/2) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not taken lightly. Drops back to 1m here for his handicap debut and might have an each-way squeak.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 +0%) Glen Princess		33 33/1(+0%)																															(5) Glen Princess 33/1, 25/1, first run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when 5¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Perfect Judgement in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Blinkers back on, tongue strap back on. Has work to do. Should come on for his run behind Perfect Judgement last month but others still preferred.
7th	9 7th (9) (16/1 -60%) Punk Poet		16 16/1(-60%)																															(9) Punk Poet 16/1, 5-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Down now to a mark of 71; has been given a small chance by the handicapper.
8th	10 8th (10) (12/1 +0%) Hurricane Helen		12 12/1(+0%)																															(10) Hurricane Helen 12/1, C&D winner. 10/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 51 days ago. Back down in trip. Seven wins include two on this surface and stays further; can get into the frame.
9th	4 9th (4) (4/1 +47%) Shoot To Kill		4 4/1(+47%)																															(4) Shoot To Kill 4/1, Course winner. Latest win here in December. 5/2, creditable 2¼ lengths third of 8 to Perfect Judgement in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, never nearer. Needs considering. Better over 7f; unlikely to turn tables with Perfect Judgement from their last meeting.

PERFECT JUDGEMENT continues to go from strength to strength, and a further 6lb rise for his most recent success may not be enough to prevent him from landing a C&D hat-trick. Over two lengths behind him on that occasion was stablemate Shoot To Kill (third), who is 5lb better off this time around and can take closer order, while Wrob And Wryan produced a career-best effort when third in a maiden over further here last time out. Runner-up on four of her last five starts, Elegant Madame has proven a frustrating sort to follow but cannot be dismissed either.

ELEGANT MADAME looked better than ever when only just denied over C&D last week and should make another bold bid. Hat-trick seeking Perfect Judgement and in-form veteran Shoot To Kill are feared most.

Preference though is for ELEGANT MADAME(nap), unlucky to be edged out here last week after a two month break and should go very close

Latest win here in January. 9/2, sixth of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 8 days ago, missing break. Has good chance on form. C&D winner last month and excuses for last two efforts; should be involved.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +50%) Miss Billie		2.25 9/4(+50%)																															(5) Miss Billie 9/4, Modest mare. 18/1, creditable fourth of 12 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 23 days ago, going off too hard. Blinkers on 1st time. Worth another go at this shorter trip. 0-14; return to this trip looks worth exploring with blinkers also given a go.
3	1 3rd (1) (125/1 -681%) Company Minx		125 125/1(-681%)																															(1) Company Minx 125/1, Poor mare. 150/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 14 days ago. Hasn't shown enough since returning last summer to suggest she will be winning this.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 +0%) My Boy Jack		4 4/1(+0%)																															(7) My Boy Jack 4/1, Modest gelding. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 5/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 6 days ago. Blinkers back on. Enters calculations. Hard to win with and moderate last time but his efforts before that put him in the mix.
5th	4 5th (4) (20/1 -122%) May Remain		20 20/1(-122%)																															(4) May Remain 20/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago. Last win came over C&D, but the veteran hasn't been firing lately.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 +29%) Mr Stanley		5 5/1(+29%)																															(6) Mr Stanley 5/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 8/1) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Bits and pieces of form that would give him a chance, but record of 0-26 is hard to ignore.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -75%) Too Much Too Young		28 28/1(-75%)																															(8) Too Much Too Young 28/1, Modest gelding. One win from 21 Flat runs. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 33/1) 17 days ago. 1-21; form has slumped of late and a major turnaround is required.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 -164%) Lil Wade		66 66/1(-164%)																															(3) Lil Wade 66/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 100/1, last of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 8 days ago. 0-25 and no improvement for the fitting of a visor in his last four starts.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -355%) Trois Blancs		150 150/1(-355%)																															(9) Trois Blancs 150/1, Seems of little account nowadays, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 100/1) 11 days ago. Out of the frame in all ten starts and latest efforts have been moderate.

MISS BILLIE probably did too much too soon when finishing fourth after setting brisk fractions over 7f here last month and, stepping down to 6f sporting blinkers for the first time, a bold bid looks likely. Kapparis Kid hasn't been seen to best effect the last twice and an improved showing under Rossa Ryan would come as no surprise. My Boy Jack is better than he showed over this trip at Newcastle last Saturday and he is another for the shortlist.

KAPPARIS KID is in better form than his recent form figures suggest and is preferred to My Boy Jack, who needs to shrug off a poor run at Newcastle. Miss Billie looks an interesting contender dropping back to sprinting and fitted with first-time headgear.

Just a head separated KAPPARIS KID and My Boy Jack over C&D last month but the former is taken to confirm the placings.

1	12 1st (12) (16/1 +36%) Omakase		16 16/1(+36%)																															(12) Omakase 16/1, 10/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 58 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Will need to settle better here if she's to see out this longer trip. Twice placed on turf, has failed to make the frame in four attempts at this venue.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +21%) Dromore Glory		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(3) Dromore Glory 11/4, Returning from 7 months off with cheekpieces refitted when justifying good support to land 10-runner C&D handicap 21 days ago, kicking on 2f out and kept up to work. Remains unexposed over middle-distances and he's one to be interested in again. Recent C&D winner showing no ill-effects after a break, up 9lb but should feature again.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -71%) Nusra		12 12/1(-71%)																															(2) Nusra 12/1, C&D winner. 10/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at this course (2m) 21 days ago. Back down in trip and he's another meriting consideration in present groove. Ran well over 2m here three weeks ago backing up a satisfactory fourth over C&D.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +9%) Gardone		5 5/1(+9%)																															(7) Gardone 5/1, Shed maiden tag here (10.7f) in August. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 7/2) 70 days ago, staying on. Well worth another crack at this longer trip given how he's been shaping and he's worth a second look. Boasts solid form over the extended 1m2f here in the second half of last year, respected.
4	9 4th (9) (50/1 -52%) Latin		50 50/1(-52%)																															(9) Latin 50/1, Fair performer at his best but out of sorts under both codes in recent months, beaten early in straight when eleventh of 13 in claimer at this course (10.7f, 80/1) 11 days ago. Best watched at present. In rear in two races over shorter trips here in recent weeks, up against it.
6th	14 6th (14) (7/1 +30%) Fine Print		7 7/1(+30%)																															(14) Fine Print 7/1, Creditable 2½ lengths third of 10 to Dromore Glory in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 21 days ago, short of room under 2f out and keeping on. Live each-way player from this sort of mark. Gave a much-improved display when third to Dromore Glory last time; could feature again.
7th	15 7th (15) (15/2 +63%) Bright Start		7.5 15/2(+63%)																															(15) Bright Start 15/2, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at this course (16f) 21 days ago, never better than midfield. Each-way claims with a run back down in trip. Reserve 1. First reserve, has shown signs of a recovery in form in recent months, each-way chance.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -25%) You Done Well		20 20/1(-25%)																															(8) You Done Well 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 10 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Has been hurdling, has failed to build on a good run at Gowran in October, weak Flat form.
9th	10 9th (10) (20/1 0%) L'immortale		20 20/1(0%)																															(10) L'immortale 20/1, Maiden who backed up his previous effort when third over on penultimate start and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when twelfth of 13 in claimer here (10.7f) 11 days ago, eased off having made rapid headway entering straight. Back up in trip. Produced two good runs here last month before a disappointing effort 11 days ago.
10th	4 10th (4) (15/8 -7%) Someone's Wish		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(4) Someone's Wish 15/8, Largely held his form well over jumps in recent months and returned to this sphere with a good second in 10-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago, that despite not being ideally placed. One to be interested in from this sort of mark. Reverted from jumps to finish second over C&D 11 days ago, holds a leading chance.
11th	13 11th (13) (100/1 -203%) Tasmanian Girl		100 100/1(-203%)																															(13) Tasmanian Girl 100/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Ninth of 13 in claimer at this C&D (150/1) 58 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat. Others hold much more pressing claims. Weak form overall, showed potential for minor success over hurdles at Thurles in November.
12th	1 12th (1) (66/1 -65%) Bambeano		66 66/1(-65%)																															(1) Bambeano 66/1, C&D winner who finished well held over hurdles prior to trailing in tenth of 11 returned to handicap over this C&D 4 weeks ago. Has it to prove for this yard. C&D winner two years ago, slowly away and never involved here four weeks ago, no appeal.
13th	11 13th (11) (50/1 -52%) Gear Flat		50 50/1(-52%)																															(11) Gear Flat 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago, always behind. Needs to step up plenty if she's to play a part here. Not a bad run when sixth here in her first handicap, failed to build on that last Friday.
5	5 |PU| (5) (18/1 -13%) Modern Talking		18 18/1(-13%)																															(5) Modern Talking 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 33/1) 86 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Cheap Godolphin cast-off, has picked up experience at this venue, may improve in blinkers.

Dromore Glory showed a likeable attitude when scoring in style over this track and trip last month and he must be of interest, although more will be required if he is to defy a 9lb rise. Therefore, marginal preference is for SOMEONE'S WISH. Gordon Elliott's charge caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish second over C&D recently and, nudged up 2lb for, he gets the vote to go one place better this time around. Gardone also looks a key player.

SOMEONE'S WISH ran well having eased a little in the weights when runner-up in a C&D handicap 11 days ago, that despite not being ideally placed, and Gordon Elliott's charge is fancied to confirm the promise of that effort and make a bold bid to go one place better. Last-time-out winner Dromore Glory is another of firm interest, with Gardone and Nusra completing the shortlist.

Preference is for SOMEONE'S WISH who had been running over fences before a strong-finishing second over C&D 11 days ago

Latest win here in January. 3/1, good third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Enters calculations. Won a handicap over C&D last month and not beaten far in both starts since; shortlisted.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/8 -10%) Cloch Nua		1.375 11/8(-10%)																															(1) Cloch Nua 11/8, 6/4, won 9-runner minor event here (7.1f) 8 days ago by 2 lengths from Mr Slicker. Scored readily there so big shout under a 5 lb penalty. 3-3 in 0-50 classified events last month; 1lb well in under penalty; should go well again.
6th	4 6th (4) (50/1 -52%) On Locust Point		50 50/1(-52%)																															(4) On Locust Point 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Hood on 1st time , tongue strap back on. Easy to look elsewhere. Well held in all four starts; much more needed in the first-time hood.
7th	8 7th (8) (22/1 -83%) Fire Eyes		22 22/1(-83%)																															(8) Fire Eyes 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ripon (16f, heavy). Off 21 months. Significantly down in trip. Hood on 1st time. Unplaced in 12 starts for this yard; off 637 days; hood on.
8th	3 8th (3) (5/1 +9%) Carey Street		5 5/1(+9%)																															(3) Carey Street 5/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago so needs to bounce back. Wolverhampton specialist; 1lb below winning mark; not sure how he will take to Southwell.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 -164%) Maguire		66 66/1(-164%)																															(7) Maguire 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, creditable fifth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 11 days ago. Needs to build on it. 0-5; showed a little at Wolverhampton last time, but may not appreciate dropping in trip.

CLOCH NUA was doing his best work late on when readily bringing up a hat-trick over 7f here last month and, upped in trip pitched back into handicap company, he looks capable of going in again. Charlatan fared best of those ridden off the pace when third over this trip at Lingfield last time out and he commands respect off an unchanged mark, likewise Mr Slicker.

CLOCH NUA rates the pick of these weights under a 5 lb penalty for his stylish recent victory here so looks the way to go. Charlatan wasn't seen to ideal effect when third at Lingfield last time out and is next on the list ahead of in-form Mr Slicker.

Nothing comes into this in better form than CLOCH NUA who is 1lb well in under a penalty in his bid for the four-timer.

2	10 2nd (10) (22/1 -57%) Masham Moor		22 22/1(-57%)																															(10) Masham Moor 22/1, C&D winner. 16/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago. 2lb lower than when winning for the second time over C&D last April, but is inconsistent.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 +45%) Imola		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(5) Imola 11/2, Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago, nearest finish. Each-way claims. 0-13 but in the frame on seven occasions; return to this trip may suit; could play a part.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +50%) Urban Dandy		8 8/1(+50%)																															(7) Urban Dandy 8/1, Course winner. 6/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago.

5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 +33%) Balqaa		4 4/1(+33%)																															(2) Balqaa 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in September. 11/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 24 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Shortlist material. Record here reads 2313 and is back off her last winning mark; one to be interested in.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 +9%) Kodebreaker		10 10/1(+9%)																															(8) Kodebreaker 10/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2024 but returned to form when third of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 8 days ago. Doesn't win often these days, but on a favourable mark and return to 1m should suit.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 0%) Lion's Dream		25 25/1(0%)																															(6) Lion's Dream 25/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022 and yet to fire for current yard, finishing only seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Continues to plummet down the weights and the return to this trip should suit.
8th	4 8th (4) (10/3 -48%) Boujee Gold		3.333333 10/3(-48%)																															(4) Boujee Gold 10/3, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December and better than the result when second of 10 in handicap back there (8.6f, 3/1) 31 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains one to be interested in. Running well lately; may need a bit further but a truly-run race could bring her into it.
9th	3 9th (3) (4/1 +11%) Leap Year Lad		4 4/1(+11%)																															(3) Leap Year Lad 4/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Newcastle (8f) 52 days ago. Needs to back that up now. Ran well when third at Newcastle last time after wind surgery; each-way claims.

LEAP YEAR LAD paid the price for setting fast early fractions when third over this trip at Newcastle in December but he looks the one to be with here. Boujee Gold was last seen finishing second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month and must enter calculations. This step back up to a mile could see Odd Socks Havana to better effect, and he completes the shortlist.

BOUJEE GOLD wasn't seen to best effect (left poorly placed) when runner-up at Wolverhampton the previous month and looks the way to go in this low-grade handicap with Rossa Ryan taking over in the saddle. Balqaa is likely to be a big threat if getting a stronger gallop to aim at, with Odd Socks Havana another to consider following a good run at Newcastle last week.

The vote goes to BALQAA whose record here reads 2313 and who is back off her last winning mark.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
