1	8 1st (8) (2/1 +20%) Tropical Retreat		2 2/1(+20%)																															(8) Tropical Retreat 2/1, Promising sort. 11/2, fourth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f) on debut 54 days ago, doing too much too soon. Likely to improve and looks the one to beat. Beaten a length and a half in fourth behind a 76-rated colt on debut, definite chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 +56%) Tino Pai		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(7) Tino Pai 7/2, Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 12 in maiden (10/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Ten-race maiden, yet to place; beaten under 4l on last two C&D runs, needs to find extra.
3	1 3rd (1) (28/1 +30%) Viamonte		28 28/1(+30%)																															(1) Viamonte 28/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eighth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (66/1) 14 days ago. 2 3/4l behind fifth-placed Tino Pai over C&D two weeks ago, younger rivals preferred.
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +29%) Shoney		5 5/1(+29%)																															(6) Shoney 5/1, Mehmas filly. Dam, sprint maiden (placed several times), half-sister to smart 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Ol' Man River out of 1000 Guineas/Irish 1000 Guineas winner (stayed easy 10.5f) Finsceal Beo. Newcomer to note. Dam placed 6f and a half-sister to several winners including Group 1 scorer Ol' Man River.
5th	5 5th (5) (2/1 +60%) Ms Olivia		2 2/1(+60%)																															(5) Ms Olivia 2/1, €38,000 yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Newcomer to note. Dam 7f AW 2yo winner out of unraced half-sister to Group 1 winner Aussie Rules.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +20%) Havana Goodtime		16 16/1(+20%)																															(4) Havana Goodtime 16/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 12 in maiden (16/1) at this C&D on debut 14 days ago. Around 3l behind fifth-placed Tino Pai on debut, trainer also runs newcomer Ms Olivia.
7th	3 7th (3) (80/1 -60%) Edana Of Ireland		80 80/1(-60%)																															(3) Edana Of Ireland 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 12 in maiden at this C&D (16/1) 14 days ago. Ran well over 6f on debut, made no impact over C&D two weeks ago, well held by Tino Pai.

REPOSADO represents connections who recorded a double here last Friday, and the son of Wootton Bassett may have found a good opportunity to open his account. The selection showed his best form over this trip in the UK and was far from disgraced when finishing in mid-division in the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot. Tropical Retreat made an encouraging debut here just before Christmas showing good pace throughout when a close fourth to Sharkii, and she could be suited by this drop back to the minimum trip. Ms Olivia and Shoney are two newcomers, both by Mehmas, to keep a close eye on for market moves.

TROPICAL RETREAT showed plenty to work on when fourth here before Christmas and the drop to 5f should suit at this stage. Reposado should be bang there but is proving expensive to follow, while market support for one of the newcomers would look significant.

It is feasible that a change of scene will do the trick for REPOSADO who showed promise early in his juvenile career in Britain.

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +71%) Analiese		4 4/1(+71%)																															(1) Analiese 4/1, 50/1, needed the experience when 23 lengths fourth of 6 in a Doncaster listed juvenile hurdle on debut 18 days ago. May do better. Safely held when fourth in a Listed race on debut but has her sights lowered here.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/13 +32%) Play It Again		0.615385 8/13(+32%)																															(9) Play It Again 8/13, French raider who sets a clear standard on her runner-up effort on 2m Cagnes-Sur-Mer hurdle debut in December. Hard to beat with improvement likely. Second of 13 behind a useful filly on debut at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in December; major player.
3	7 3rd (7) (28/1 -40%) Lara Kaleo		28 28/1(-40%)																															(7) Lara Kaleo 28/1, €16,500 Doctor Dino filly. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Kaleosun. Dam 11f bumper winner in France. Bred to have a future but a watching brief is the percentage call this time. Out of a French AQPS Flat winner; entitled to benefit from this debut outing.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 -54%) Graecia		10 10/1(-54%)																															(3) Graecia 10/1, Fairly useful 7f winner on the Flat for John Butler. Changed hands for 18,000 gns in October. Her stamina for hurdling isn't assured but should have enough ability to make her presence felt. Wears a first-time hood. Signed off on the Flat with 7f win in October and has plenty of stamina in her pedigree.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 +36%) La Cantate		16 16/1(+36%)																															(6) La Cantate 16/1, No Risk At All filly who ran to only a poor level when sixth in Newbury bumper on debut in December. Not an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles after that. Not disgraced on Newbury debut in December but others have more pressing claims.
6th	2 6th (2) (11/1 -22%) Christian Bruce		11 11/1(-22%)																															(2) Christian Bruce 11/1, Fair form in maidens on Flat (should be suited by at least 1½m) for William Haggas. sold for 22,000 gns in December. Her new stable traditionally does well in these races. Showed only minor promise in three Flat maidens but new yard does well in juvenile hurdles.
7th	5 7th (5) (150/1 0%) L'inoubliable		150 150/1(0%)																															(5) L'inoubliable 150/1, 150/1 when pulled up on last week's Taunton debut. Pulled up when 150-1 for recent debut at Taunton; can only be watched here.
8	8 |PU| (8) (10/1 -82%) Nini Star		10 10/1(-82%)																															(8) Nini Star 10/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for David Menuisier. Can play a prominent role if taking to her new discipline. Fairly useful on the Flat and holds a Triumph Hurdle entry; must be considered.
12	12 |PU| (12) (100/1 -203%) Whiteley Way		100 100/1(-203%)																															(12) Whiteley Way 100/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, including third in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago on her first outing for Gary Brown. Stamina might be an issue now hurdling. 0-12 on the Flat but was placed on recent stable debut; now tries hurdling.
10	10 |PU| (10) (125/1 -25%) Urban Hydrangea		125 125/1(-25%)																															(10) Urban Hydrangea 125/1, Down the field in varied events on Flat for John Gallagher and beaten a long way in 2 juvenile hurdles for Fergal O'Brien before Christmas.

Blinkered first time. Poor Flat maiden who struggled to get competitive when 250-1 for last month's hurdle debut.

A promising second on her debut at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in December, connections look to have found an ideal opportunity for PLAY IT AGAIN to get off the mark on British soil. The daughter of Nathaniel may have too much for the more experienced Irisante, who also started her career in France and has been placed on each of her last two outings. A winner at Ayr on the Flat last October, Graecia looks the pick of the newcomers on her first outing for the Charlie Longsdon team.

This looks a good chance for PLAY IT AGAIN to build on her promising debut second in France before Christmas. Nini Star showed a decent level of ability on the Flat and may prove best of the rest having switched to David Pipe. Graecia was also good enough on the Flat to think she could make an impact in a race like this if her stamina holds.

Second to a subsequent Class 1 winner on her debut in France, PLAY IT AGAIN gets the nod here.

This keen-going sort needs to settle better. Failed to threaten in bumpers and tailed off at 150-1 here on her two hurdle starts.
7th	4 7th (4) (22/1 +45%) Bold Jury		22 22/1(+45%)																															(4) Bold Jury 22/1, Showed promise when sixth at Uttoxeter on his debut but he ran out in novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Fair sixth on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter but needs a bigger run today; ran out since.
8th	8 8th (8) (150/1 +25%) Too Cool Forshrule		150 150/1(+25%)																															(8) Too Cool Forshrule 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden and he came in last of 8 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 22 days ago.

9th	7 9th (7) (12/1 +25%) Strolling Along		12 12/1(+25%)																															(7) Strolling Along 12/1, Debut fourth in Carlisle bumper but looked in need of the experience when ninth of 12 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft, 10/1) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Likely to improve. Fair 4th in sole bumper, then well beaten on hurdle debut, but not ruled out for a place.

This ought to be a penalty kick for WENDIGO, who finished a highly creditable second to The New Lion in the Challow at Newbury in December. Jamie Snowden's charge sets a lofty standard to aim at and it is difficult to see past him. That said, South Omo Zone made an impressive hurdling debut at Wincanton last month and should not be underestimated with improvement on the cards. Klapton Boy chased home dual hurdles winner Rubber Ball in a point-to-point in April before occupying the same position on his jumping bow. He appeals most of the remainder.

Jamie Snowden's WENDIGO is impossible to oppose on the back of his fine second to The New Lion in Newbury's Challow Hurdle last time out so gets a confident vote. South Omo Zone made a winning start for Olly Murphy at Wincanton and appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of the unexposed Strolling Along, who can build on his hurdling debut ninth at Taunton.

Grade 1 Challow Hurdle runner-up WENDIGO can add to his hurdle win at Ludlow in November. South Omo Zone is the danger.

1	5 1st (5) (13/2 -44%) Mumayaz		6.5 13/2(-44%)																															(5) Mumayaz 13/2, Course winner. Three wins from 22 runs last year. 9/2, landed 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. In the mix. Things panned out nicely for him last time; up 2lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +18%) Ben Y Bryn		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(1) Ben Y Bryn 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 11 days ago, left poorly placed. Shortlisted. Can build on return fifth if this doesn't come too soon.
3	7 3rd (7) (15/2 +6%) Dicko The Legend		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(7) Dicko The Legend 15/2, 4/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. First start here and could at least get closer to Northcliff.

5th	8 5th (8) (11/2 +31%) Al Ameen		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(8) Al Ameen 11/2, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (13/2) at Kempton (7f) 14 days ago. Blinkers back on. Unreliable individual. Tricky customer but Kieran Shoemark is as likely as any to get a good tune out of him.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/1 +44%) Royal Pleasure		9 9/1(+44%)																															(4) Royal Pleasure 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 11 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.

7th	6 7th (6) (33/1 -106%) Master Dandy		33 33/1(-106%)																															(6) Master Dandy 33/1, Latest win at Lingfield in September. First run since leaving James Fanshawe when last of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Reasons to expect much better here; interesting to see what the market makes of him.
8th	3 8th (3) (8/1 -14%) Rambuso Creek		8 8/1(-14%)																															(3) Rambuso Creek 8/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (7/1). Off 130 days. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Not taken lightly. Possibly best watched unless market vibes are positive on yard debut; no headgear.
9th	9 9th (9) (22/1 -633%) Walking On Clouds		22 22/1(-633%)																															(9) Walking On Clouds 22/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (4/6) at this C&D 55 days ago. Considered. Remains well handicapped and will be a danger to all if on a going day.

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from NORTHCLIFF's second-placed stable bow at Newcastle last month and compensation might be on the cards. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings for Michael Keady's charge could prove on the lenient side and he's taken to repel last-time-out winner Mumayaz. The six-year-old relished a return to 6f at Wolverhampton 23 days ago and he looks set to go close again. Walking On Clouds is the pick of the remainder.

A few with chances but course scorer NORTHCLIFF rates the pick of the weights so edges the vote from in-form duo Rambuso Creek and Mumayaz, who can chase home Michael Keady's 5-y-o in that order. Walking On Clouds completes the shortlist.

Now back racing around a bend, DICKO THE LEGEND is fancied to turn the tables on Northcliff.

1	5 1st (5) (9/1 -29%) Solomon Coop		9 9/1(-29%)																															(5) Solomon Coop 9/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 12/1, last of 14 in handicap at this C&D 70 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Miss Natalia Lupini. Twice placed in maidens last spring, handicap form has been disappointing, new stable now.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 +8%) Winsome		6 6/1(+8%)																															(8) Winsome 6/1, Thrice-raced filly. 14/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at this course (12f) 84 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Good run in third over 7f in November, appeared not to stay 1m4f two weeks later.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/11 +47%) Mythical Rock		0.727273 8/11(+47%)																															(4) Mythical Rock 8/11, Fairly useful colt. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 4/1, creditable third of 14 in maiden at this C&D 54 days ago. First run for yard after leaving James M. Barrett. Has to be taken seriously. Third on both AW attempts, 76-rated filly makes plenty of appeal on stable debut.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +0%) Maharajjah		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Maharajjah 7/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 40/1, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when third of 10 in maiden at this course (7f) 16 days ago, never nearer. Gave a much-improved display over 7f on stable debut, jockey booking a positive.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -13%) Dontgowithjoe		18 18/1(-13%)																															(2) Dontgowithjoe 18/1, Once-raced gelding. Eighth of 14 in maiden (20/1) at this C&D on debut 54 days ago. Slowly away when eighth of 14 over C&D on debut, held by Mythical Rock on that running.
6th	6 6th (6) (250/1 -400%) Browned Off		250 250/1(-400%)																															(6) Browned Off 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at this course (7f) 16 days ago. Has run twice at this venue, safely held by Maharajjah on running over 7f last month.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 -106%) Lakota Lady		33 33/1(-106%)																															(7) Lakota Lady 33/1, Once-raced mare. Sixth of 10 in novice (4/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on debut. Off almost 3 years. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara. Not beaten far in sixth over 5f at Thirsk on only start at two, best watched now.
8th	1 8th (1) (4/1 +27%) Autumn Twist		4 4/1(+27%)																															(1) Autumn Twist 4/1, Fairly useful gelding. 16/1, third of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, very good on last Flat outing. Can make presence felt. Showed ability as a juvenile for Andre Fabre, fit from hurdling, worth considering.

MYTHICAL ROCK has been placed on a number of occasions for various trainers and now makes his first start for Pat Murphy who has already trained a couple of winners here this year. He went close in a 1m1f Punchestown maiden last autumn and was again prominent throughout when third over C&D in December. Autumn Twist showed promise for Andre Fabre as a juvenile including when runner-up at Chantilly over 1m1f and now reverts to the Flat after being soundly beaten twice over hurdles, while Solomon Coop was placed twice on turf last spring for Natalia Lupini but disappointed last time when switched to this surface. Maharajjah and Winsome are others to consider.

MYTHICAL ROCK can finally get off the mark in a weak maiden. Autumn Twist is the obvious threat on his French form.

This looks like a good opportunity for the 76-rated MYTHICAL ROCK to step up a couple of places after two good efforts at the venue

1	6 1st (6) (17/2 +15%) Puddlesinthepark		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(6) Puddlesinthepark 17/2, Now 15 runs since his last win in 2023 but he recorded a solid fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good to soft) 11 weeks days ago. Cheekpieces back on and not taken lightly. Kept on for fourth over C&D on latest outing and remains well handicapped..
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -71%) Lock Out		12 12/1(-71%)																															(5) Lock Out 12/1, Firmly back on track when making a winning return in handicap chase at Chepstow in October. Respectable in-the-frame efforts next 2 starts but not at best back both starts since. Better ground here will at least help. Won off 1lb lower in the autumn but has been out of form lately; has a point to prove.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/11 +27%) Simple Getaway		0.909091 10/11(+27%)																															(1) Simple Getaway 10/11, Fetched £180,000 after winning an Irish point but only minor promise on second of his 3 hurdle starts during 2023/24. Type to make a better chaser and stepped up on return/chase debut when second at Ludlow last week, clear of rest. Big shout off same mark. Lightly raced 7yo; clear second at Ludlow last week; competes off same mark again here.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 +8%) Get Cracking		11 11/1(+8%)																															(3) Get Cracking 11/1, Successful in points and left hurdles form behind sent chasing when fifth at Hereford. Not in same form at Huntingdon since but that was on heavy ground. Headgear applied. Unexposed as a chaser and has claims if judged on his fifth here (2m5f) in December.
5th	4 5th (4) (25/1 -127%) Daring Plan		25 25/1(-127%)																															(4) Daring Plan 25/1, Yet to make an impact in 3 starts over fences but no doubt he's on a good mark on the pick of his hurdles form. Placed twice over hurdles in early 2024 but has struggled in three chases this season.
6th	2 6th (2) (15/2 -50%) Scotch On Da Rocks		7.5 15/2(-50%)																															(2) Scotch On Da Rocks 15/2, Well held in 2 maiden hurdles for Ben Pauling at the end of last season. Stepped up on return for new yard when fifth at Plumpton on handicap bow 10 weeks ago and should make a chaser (won sole start in points). Headgear on. Shaped well over 2m4f on handicap hurdle debut; up in trip for chasing debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 +39%) Nordic Storm		20 20/1(+39%)																															(7) Nordic Storm 20/1, Little form over hurdles and not an obvious chasing type. Beaten 57l over hurdles last month and needs significant improvement on this chase debut.
10	10 |U| (10) (14/1 +30%) No Drama		14 14/1(+30%)																															(10) No Drama 14/1, No surprise that he looked in need of the run when safely held on chase/yard debut following more than 3 years at Fontwell in October but failed to progress from that there next time. 2 lb out of handicap. Shaped well in October, after a mammoth absence, but his next run was less encouraging.
9	9 |PU| (9) (12/1 +33%) Totowolfe		12 12/1(+33%)																															(9) Totowolfe 12/1, Irish point winner who has shown little since shaping with some encouragement on his hurdling bow, though at least fared a little better on his second chase start when seventh at Taunton. Still unexposed over fences and wasn't disgraced at Taunton last time; more needed, though.
8	8 |PU| (8) (25/1 -108%) Release The Kraken		25 25/1(-108%)																															(8) Release The Kraken 25/1, Potentially on a handy mark but is a long-standing maiden over hurdles and was let down by jumping on his sole start over fences over 2 years ago. Unseated rider in only previous chase and has 0-19 strike-rate over hurdles; others safer.

SIMPLE GETAWAY showed significant improvement from first to second start over fences when runner-up over 3m at Ludlow last week and sets the standard on this occasion off an unchanged mark. Venetia Williams' charge is preferred to the largely unexposed Scotch On Da Rocks, who could be of interesting going up in trip on his chasing bow, while Lock Out has dropped back to a mark just 1lb higher than his last success at Chepstow in October.

SIMPLE GETAWAY stepped forward from his chasing debut when runner-up at Ludlow last week, pulling clear of the rest, and has obvious claims off the same mark. Scotch On da Rocks has the profile to make a better chaser so may emerge as the main threat ahead of Lock Out.

This looks good for SIMPLE GETAWAY (nap), who is 4lb well-in for last week's close second at Ludlow and still has potential.

1	1 1st (1) (13/2 -30%) Sound And Fury		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(1) Sound And Fury 13/2, Lightly-raced winning pointer/hurdler, who looked rather fortunate when opening his chase account at Uttoxeter in December (looked booked for second when left in front at the last). Only fifth in an 8-runner Newbury handicap next time and improvement needed now equipped with first-time blinkers. Won at Uttoxeter on second chase start and fair 5th since; could still have more to offer.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +50%) Latenightrumble		2.25 9/4(+50%)																															(5) Latenightrumble 9/4, Four-time point winner who surpassed his hurdles form when making a winning handicap chase debut over this C&D in December. Ultimately done for finishing speed in a steadily-run race at Leicester (22.7f, soft) over Christmas but it was a solid effort nonetheless and he remains open to improvement. Won over C&D before good second at Leicester and he's firmly in calculations.
8	8 |PU| (8) (5/1 +50%) Jar Du Desert		5 5/1(+50%)																															(8) Jar Du Desert 5/1, Fairly useful ex-French 17f chase winner. Produced much his best effort to date on these shores when runner-up over C&D off this mark in November but failed to repeat that at Aintree since and he looks vulnerable. Back to form when second here in November but only fifth at Aintree since.
3	3 |PU| (3) (14/1 -87%) Moon Hunter		14 14/1(-87%)																															(3) Moon Hunter 14/1, Winning pointer who was 2-5 over hurdles and didn't shape at all badly on chase debut at Cheltenham last season. However, he has looked rather laboured since, in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when last of 3 in handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, good) on most recent start in November. Ran in snatches at Market Rasen but this return to a left-handed track may help.
6	6 |PU| (6) (17/2 -6%) Magical Escape		8.5 17/2(-6%)																															(6) Magical Escape 17/2, Resumed after a wind op with a promising second of 5 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, good) in October. Below par both subsequent starts, though, and hopes here pinned on the new headgear (first-time visor replaces usual cheekpieces) helping him to get back on track. Underwhelming the last twice but the visor may help him tap back into chase debut promise.
9	9 |PU| (9) (20/1 -25%) Rostello		20 20/1(-25%)																															(9) Rostello 20/1, Not straightforward but put it all together under a good ride when winning 4-runner Southwell handicap last spring. Left previous efforts for this yard behind when going close at Catterick last time but it remains to be seen if he'll again rise to the occasion. May well have won at Catterick three weeks ago with a better jump at the final fence.
7	7 |PU| (7) (85/40 +29%) Montregard		2.125 85/40(+29%)																															(7) Montregard 85/40, Dual hurdles winner who left chase debut effort well behind when cosily landing a 3-runner affair at Market Rasen (3m, good) in November. Merely plugged on when a safely-held third at Taunton next time but it's still early days for him over fences and he has to enter calculations. Won at Market Rasen on second chase start and third in strong race at Taunton since.
2	2 |PU| (2) (100/1 -257%) Cap Du Nord		100 100/1(-257%)																															(2) Cap Du Nord 100/1, Successful twice in 2024, bagging handicaps at Plumpton and Perth (latter success gained off a mark 2 lb higher than his current one) but he has struggled in 4 appearances since returning from a break in October. 2lb lower than when winning at Perth last July but has struggled on his five starts since.

A winner over C&D before finding one too strong when dropped in trip at Leicester in December, LATENIGHTRUMBLE still has few miles on the clock and looks set to resume his progress back over a more suitable distance. Rostello went agonisingly close at Catterick three weeks ago and is of definite interest from 1lb higher, while Montregard, who won a three-runner contest at Market Rasen before finishing third at Taunton in November, might be best placed to chase the pair home.

LATENIGHTRUMBLE outpointed a progressive sort when getting off the mark over C&D on his penultimate start, and then followed home another upwardly mobile type at Leicester where the lack of a strong end-to-end gallop counted against him. The 8-y-o should have more to offer in this sphere and earns the vote ahead of Montregard and Champagnesuperover.

The 6yo MONTREGARD (nap) was third in a very hot little race at Taunton last time and can regain the winning thread.

1	7 1st (7) (13/2 +28%) Cliffcake		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(7) Cliffcake 13/2, 4-time course winner. 9/4, good second of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 13 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces on 1st time and well in the mix. Lot to like and cheekpieces could sharpen him up back sprinting.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +64%) Hierarchy		2.5 5/2(+64%)																															(1) Hierarchy 5/2, 7/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 7 days ago, left with too much to do. Can give a good account. Seemingly given too much to do at Kempton last week and could easily make amends here.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 -88%) One More Dream		16 16/1(-88%)																															(6) One More Dream 16/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 5/4, only fourth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 8 days ago so needs to bounce back. Has really lost his way and can't support until showing signs of a revival.
4	4 4th (4) (13/2 -8%) City Cyclone		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(4) City Cyclone 13/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Respectable third of 11 in handicap there (6.1f, 4/1) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. In the picture. Engaged 6.00 Wolverhampton Tuesday. January is his favourite month and last-time-out third can be marked up.
5th	8 5th (8) (3/1 -118%) Ash Wednesday		3 3/1(-118%)																															(8) Ash Wednesday 3/1, 4/9, won 8-runner handicap at this course (7.1f) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Could easily land the four-timer if okay back sprinting and not missing usual tongue-tie.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 -20%) Caffu Zafeen		6 6/1(-20%)																															(2) Caffu Zafeen 6/1, 10/3, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 25 days ago, left poorly placed. Expected to be bang there off a 2 lb lower mark. Doubt we've seen the best of him in handicaps.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 +25%) Alreet Cha		12 12/1(+25%)																															(5) Alreet Cha 12/1, Winner at Newcastle in October. 14/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Just one real run of note since breakthrough win; no headgear back sprinting.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 +33%) Ramon Di Loria		22 22/1(+33%)																															(9) Ramon Di Loria 22/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago, never nearer. Back up in trip. Something to find on form. Looks best watched for now having failed to build on a fair return last time.
9th	3 9th (3) (50/1 -52%) Reinforce		50 50/1(-52%)																															(3) Reinforce 50/1, 22/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 8 days ago. Back up in trip with more required. Can probably oppose back up to 6f (seems best at the minimum trip).

Having completed a hat-trick with something to spare over 7f here 20 days ago, ASH WEDNESDAY still looks one to keep the right side of. Heather Main's strong-travelling gelding should have little issue with today's ease in distance and he's fancied to defy a 5lb rise. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Kempton runner-up Hierarchy, while first-time cheekpieces could eke some improvement out of Cliffcake.

CAFFU ZAFEEN didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at Lingfield last time out so looks the way to go here off a 2 lb lower mark in his bid for a maiden success. Hierarchy is next on the list on the back of a good Kempton second when also not seen to ideal effect. Alreet Cha, Cliffcake and Ash Wednesday all need factoring in too.

A chance is taken that things pan out better for CAFFU ZAFEEN than they did in Class 4 company the last twice.

1	3 1st (3) (5/2 -11%) Scott Lang		2.5 5/2(-11%)																															(3) Scott Lang 5/2, Boasts just the one win to his name from 22 Flat runs but again ran well when second of 13 in a C&D handicap 26 days ago, collared close home. Nudged up 4 lb on the back of that but he's one to bear in mind nevertheless. Went close over C&D last month, a fourth second placing at this venue, may go one better.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/4 +14%) Inchiquin Maid		1.5 6/4(+14%)																															(2) Inchiquin Maid 6/4, First run since leaving David Kenneth Budds when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 54 days ago by 5 lengths from Mephisto, looking better the further she went on first crack at the trip. Of interest again for all the handicapper has had his say. Breakthrough came over C&D on 31st start and stable debut, up 10lb but good chance again.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -40%) Curious Bride		14 14/1(-40%)																															(1) Curious Bride 14/1, Latest win at Clonmel in September. 22/1, may of needed the run after 3 months off when 10½ lengths ninth of 14 to Inchiquin Maid in handicap at this C&D 54 days ago. However, she looks no more than averagely treated at present. Good turf form last year between June and September, modest Dundalk record is a concern.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 +40%) Is She Now		12 12/1(+40%)																															(7) Is She Now 12/1, 16/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 12 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Unplaced twice since a respectable middle-distance run here in December, cheekpieces added.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 -20%) Mephisto		6 6/1(-20%)																															(5) Mephisto 6/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Possibilities again in present groove. Dual C&D winner in 2023, solid recent course form linked to Scott Lang and Inchiquin Maid.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 +13%) Lispendense		7 7/1(+13%)																															(4) Lispendense 7/1, Bumper winner earlier in his career and best effort over hurdles when runner-up in handicap at Cork (18.5f) in August. Well held next 2 starts but returns to this sphere for new yard after a break and worth noting if the market spoke in his favour. Bumper winner in 2021, placed over hurdles last year, Flat form is not persuasive.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 +20%) Figurehead		20 20/1(+20%)																															(6) Figurehead 20/1, Long-standing maiden. 28/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (12f) 33 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Tongue strap back on but others hold much stronger credentials. 35-race maiden, placed only once from eight starts at this venue, up against it.

SCOTT LANG is without a win since taking a 1m5f Navan handicap nearly three years ago but has given plenty of encouragement when runner-up here on his latest two Flat starts. The Paul Flynn-trained gelding had Mephisto over three lengths back in fourth when only headed close home by Elle Dorado Rock over 2m last month. Inchiquin Maid's form also ties in with Mephisto as she beat that rival by five lengths on her first start for Chris Timmons over C&D in December but has gone up 10lb in the ratings as a result. Curious Bride was soundly beaten in that race and has gained all four career wins on turf. Lispendense, a Ballinrobe bumper winner for Denis Cullen, has now joined Ian Donoghue.

SCOTT LANG's strike rate tempers enthusiasm but he ran another solid race returned to this venue when runner-up in a C&D handicap 26 days ago and he could be worth chancing to go one place better. Inchiquin Maid is an obvious threat following her clear-cut C&D victory in December. Mephisto should be thereabouts, too.

Runner-up in four of his five races at this venue SCOTT LANG may get a winning turn. He has an edge over Mephisto on recent form

1	11 1st (11) (6/1 +14%) Everyonesacritic		6 6/1(+14%)																															(11) Everyonesacritic 6/1, Winning hurdler who fared better than previously in this sphere when second at Leicester. Bit disappointing off the same mark there next time, though. Ended 2024 with two very respectable runs at Leicester but needs to find extra here.
2	9 2nd (9) (14/1 -17%) Kingcormac		14 14/1(-17%)																															(9) Kingcormac 14/1, Won a 21f Hereford handicap on heavy in January 2023. Below par in a light career since, although he is entitled to strip fitter for his New Year's Day reappearance at Exeter after 22 months off. C&D winner in early 2023 but pulled up last month, after a long absence.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +68%) Mourzouk		4.5 9/2(+68%)																															(3) Mourzouk 9/2, Has generally struggled since his last win almost 3 years ago and was gradually left behind on chase bow over C&D. Headgear on. Didn't run badly over C&D on chasing debut but has basically become very disappointing.
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +33%) Jikala		5 5/1(+33%)																															(6) Jikala 5/1, French import who was successful in juvenile hurdle here in March 2023 but below par all 3 starts over fences this season after a 20 month-absence. Last month's third here was encouraging and she might be building up to something.
5th	8 5th (8) (13/2 -30%) Kings Justice		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(8) Kings Justice 13/2, Did well over fences last season, winning once and runner-up on 3 other occasions. Back to best when only just failing at Catterick 12 days ago and needs considering. Went very close at Catterick recently and will be suited by the return to this C&D.
6th	10 6th (10) (4/1 +20%) Boys Of Wexford		4 4/1(+20%)																															(10) Boys Of Wexford 4/1, Showed benefit of his reappearance run when winning at Fontwell in November and backed that up with good third of 13 in Hereford handicap chase (20.9f, good to soft) 9 weeks ago. Races off same mark here and must enter calculations. Placed over C&D since Fontwell win in November; likely contender again today.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -313%) Mystic Man		66 66/1(-313%)																															(4) Mystic Man 66/1, Modest chaser who folded several times for Harry Derham last season. Left that yard cheaply and hasn't offered much in 2 starts for current stable. Soundly beaten over hurdles on both stable starts; considered only if lively in betting.
8th	1 8th (1) (33/1 +18%) Old Painless		33 33/1(+18%)																															(1) Old Painless 33/1, Plumpton winner first time up over fences over 2 years ago but not much impact for current yard. Headgear now tried but others make more appeal. Regressive 9yo who needs to respond very well to the addition of blinkers.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 -400%) Chestnut Pete		20 20/1(-400%)																															(2) Chestnut Pete 20/1, Fair maiden hurdler who has gone close a few times over fences, including at Worcester in September 2023. Not seen since and has left Sophie Leech. Potentially on a good mark. In good form when last seen in 2023 and makes stable debut from a tempting mark.
10th	12 10th (12) (20/1 +60%) Arctic Footprint		20 20/1(+60%)																															(12) Arctic Footprint 20/1, Limited sort on the whole and she hasn't taken to chasing. Needs a major turnaround to compete. Badly out of form since last season's hurdle win; headgear switch today.
5	5 |PU| (5) (4/1 +11%) Greenways		4 4/1(+11%)																															(5) Greenways 4/1, Justified support having joined this yard from Dominic Ffrench Davis when readily scoring in handicap hurdle here in November. Best effort since when close third at Warwick last month and now goes chasing (last of 3 finishers completed start in points). Course winner over hurdles this season; contender if he takes well to fences.

GREENWAYS stayed on well to take third in a similar event over 2m3f at Warwick and should find stepping back up in trip is an ideal move given he won over the extended 2m5f when last tried at this venue. Chestnut Pete has been knocking on the door of late and, having also posted some respectable course form, cannot be ruled out in this company. Kings Justice and Boys Of Wexford are other notable options.

BOYS OF WEXFORD looks the most solid option having backed up his win at Fontwell with a decent third over C&D. Chestnut Pete is potentially on a handy mark back from an absence for a new yard so needs keeping an eye on, while Kings Justice only just failed at Catterick 12 days ago.

Venetia Williams' mare JIKALA kept on from the rear for third over 2m3f here last month and is selected to exploit a good mark.

1	1 1st (1) (1/9 +44%) Live Conti		0.111111 1/9(+44%)																															(1) Live Conti 1/9, Winner of 17-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (2¼m, soft) on debut in October. a race that has already thrown up a handful of subsequent winners. Looks a potentially very useful recruit for his powerful connections and should win this before going on to better things (holds Triumph Hurdle entry). Triumph entry whose French form reads well and should be in a different league to these.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 +31%) Scotland The Brave		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(6) Scotland The Brave 11/2, Hasn't shown much in a couple of juvenile hurdles but he did score on the Flat at Newcastle (16.2f) last week. Each-way chance if able to translate that improved form back to this sphere. Well held over hurdles but did win a 2m handicap on the AW Flat last week.
3	3 3rd (3) (50/1 -52%) Lautrec De Cougny		50 50/1(-52%)																															(3) Lautrec De Cougny 50/1, Half-brother to yard's useful hurdler/chase winner Herbiers but looked badly in need of the experience when 24 lengths last of 7 on in Bangor novice hurdle on debut in November. Like stablemate L'Air du Large, he's probably more one for the future. Tongue strap applied. Finished a remote last at Bangor but went off at 11-2 and a tongue-tie is now fitted.
4	4 4th (4) (50/1 +67%) Likleman		50 50/1(+67%)																															(4) Likleman 50/1, Modest miler on the Flat and his future in this sphere doesn't look particularly bright judged on what he showed in a Catterick juvenile event 12 days ago. Limited on the Flat and 200-1 when beaten 28l in a Catterick maiden hurdle.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +52%) Mandarb		16 16/1(+52%)																															(5) Mandarb 16/1, Fairly useful on the Flat but didn't jump with any fluency when trailing in last of 6 on hurdles debut over this C&D in November. 1m4f winner in France; well held on Flat and over jumps for this yard.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 -133%) Remarkable Flight		28 28/1(-133%)																															(8) Remarkable Flight 28/1, Fair winner on the Flat for Charlie Hills but achieved very little when second of 2 finishers on Leicester hurdle debut in November. Subsequently finished out with the washing at Catterick and minor place money is the most likely scenario here. Went off at 40-1 for a Catterick maiden 12 days ago and was always behind.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 -18%) L'air Du Large		33 33/1(-18%)																															(2) L'air Du Large 33/1, Hasn't shown a great deal of spark in a bumper/juvenile hurdle so far and probably more of a long-term prospect. Last of four in his bumper and beaten 50l on hurdling debut at Haydock.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 +24%) The Three J's		25 25/1(+24%)																															(7) The Three J's 25/1, Well held in a Catterick bumper on debut 3 weeks ago and readily passed over now switched to hurdles. In trouble some way out when beating one home in a Catterick bumper (good to soft; 50-1).

Triumph entry LIVE CONTI made a winning debut at Auteuil in October and should Dan Skelton's charge have any hope of turning up there, he will need to be winning this impressively to fuel those aspirations. Scotland The Brave won on the Flat recently and is perhaps one of the more likely threats back jumping, although Lautrec De Cougny, who was prominent in the betting ahead of his hurdling debut at Bangor in November, should not be written off in a first-time tongue tie.

It will be disappointing should LIVE CONTI fail to deliver on his debut for the Dan Skelton yard. Indeed, the race he won in France during the autumn looked pretty strong and this will likely serve as a stepping-stone on the path to bigger and better things. Recent Flat scorer Scotland The Brave is preferred to Remarkable Flight for forecast purposes.

Dan Skelton's LIVE CONTI needs to be winning this easily if he's to take up his Triumph engagement. His French form looks good.

1	5 1st (5) (6/4 +14%) Orangesandlemons		1.5 6/4(+14%)																															(5) Orangesandlemons 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/4, respectable second of 5 in maiden at Newcastle (8f) 8 days ago, no match for winner. The one to beat. Evidently beatable but commands respect.
2	3 2nd (3) (8/1 -7%) I'll Give It A Go		8 8/1(-7%)																															(3) I'll Give It A Go 8/1, Ulysses filly. Closely related to 1½m winner George Bancroft. Dam maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to 1¼m winner Posteritas. Interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting. May need further than 1m in time; 16-1 when upset in stalls/withdrawn from intended debut.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/2 +0%) Manyana Blue		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(9) Manyana Blue 9/2, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, third of 8 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 16 days ago. That was a fairly encouraging introduction but, at the same time, she appeals as the type who will be seen in a better light when tackling middle-distance handicaps in due course. Might need even further than 1m in time but can grab minor honours, at least.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 -60%) Yes Honey		40 40/1(-60%)																															(6) Yes Honey 40/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden (18/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 60 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Probably more one for handicaps later on. Held back by inexperience and not disgraced on debut; probably needs more time.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 +31%) Zabeel Rain		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(2) Zabeel Rain 11/4, Once-raced maiden. 10/1, third of 8 in maiden at Kempton (8f) on debut 56 days ago, running on. Couldn't be sure that there will be much in the way of improvement in the locker but, that said, a mere reproduction of that effort would give her a solid each-way chance. Pleasing debut third and this half-sister to seven winners shouldn't be long in scoring.
6th	1 6th (1) (125/1 -25%) Rajlakshmi		125 125/1(-25%)																															(1) Rajlakshmi 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, last of 9 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 62 days ago. Yard also saddles Manyana Blue. Last of nine when sent off 66-1 for debut at Chelmsford in December (7f).
7th	8 7th (8) (7/1 -17%) Good Shot		7 7/1(-17%)																															(8) Good Shot 7/1, Lightning Spear filly. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Elm Park. Shade disconcerting that she's equipped with a hood on debut but, on the upside, she represents a leading yard and it will look significant if she's strong in the betting, Yard in excellent form and a positive market move would bring her into the reckoning.
8th	4 8th (4) (18/1 -80%) Maundy Thursday		18 18/1(-80%)																															(4) Maundy Thursday 18/1, King of Change filly. Dam 1½m winner out of useful 1m-9.5f winner Caserta. Yard occasionally strikes with newcomers and she's one to note in the betting. Trainer had just two Flat runners this year; possibly best watched.
9th	7 9th (7) (100/1 0%) Adaay's Grace		100 100/1(0%)																															(7) Adaay's Grace 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 7 in novice at this course (6.1f) 12 days ago. Hopes pinned on this step up in trip sparking improvement. Well held in two 6f novices at the track; upped to 1m; can't support.

Orangesandlemons sets the standard and should be capable of being on the premises at the very least. However, she is also starting to look exposed and there are solid grounds for taking her on, with ZABEEL RAIN rated the most obvious candidate. A respectable third on her debut at Kempton in December, the well-related daughter of Masar should be wiser and a step forward could suffice at his stage. Betting support for newcomers Maundy Thursday and Good Shot would also be noteworthy.

While it's true that ORANGESANDLEMONS doesn't look especially progressive, she has, to her credit, found just one to good on each of her four starts and the Mayson filly is now presented with a golden opportunity to deservedly get her head in front. If she is to be beaten again, it will likely be one of the newcomers who will emerge on top, with Good Shot and Maundy Thursday the most likely-looking candidates. Zabeel Rain showed enough on debut at Kempton to also warrant consideration.

Orangesandlemons deserves plenty of credit but is evidently beatable and ZABEEL RAIN could be up to the task.

3	3 (3) (11/1 +8%) Devil's Angel		11 11/1(+8%)																															(3) Devil's Angel 11/1, Twenty-two runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, creditable 2¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Clonmacash in claimer at this course (7f) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Poorly drawn but back to this trip probably in his favour as he re-opposes Clonmacash.
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +33%) I'm Spartacus		4 4/1(+33%)																															(1) I'm Spartacus 4/1, C&D winner. Creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 14 to Hasiyna in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 14 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Ran on late behind Hasiyna over C&D two weeks ago and likely to play a leading role again.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +10%) Clonmacash		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(2) Clonmacash 9/2, 5/1, won 11-runner claimer at this course (7f) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Expected to be bang there. Won a 7f claimer here two weeks ago; won over 6f at 2 but ineffective over it of late.
3	14 3rd (14) (11/1 +45%) Rattletheonionbag		11 11/1(+45%)																															(14) Rattletheonionbag 11/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 17/2, below form fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. 16-race maiden has run well in a couple of sprint handicaps here; could run into a place.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 -56%) Hasiyna		14 14/1(-56%)																															(7) Hasiyna 14/1, 16/1, won 14-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, driven out. More needed up 6 lb. 6lb higher for her win here but well drawn and should go close if in similar heart here.
5th	17 5th (17) (16/1 +52%) Eric Lock		16 16/1(+52%)																															(17) Eric Lock 16/1, 28/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 12 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. RESERVE. Third reserve; didn't get home over 7f here two weeks ago; drop back to six in his favour.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 +44%) Jazzy Dancer		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(5) Jazzy Dancer 9/2, C&D winner. Good ½-length third of 14 to Hasiyna in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Each-way chance. Just lost out late to Hasiyna here two weeks ago and on the same mark as his last win.
7th	8 7th (8) (11/1 -10%) Hastily		11 11/1(-10%)																															(8) Hastily 11/1, Course winner. Latest win here in December. Last of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 23 days ago, very slowly away. Others more persuasive. Should find this trip to her liking although the cheekpieces have been discarded.
8th	13 8th (13) (15/2 +12%) Nordic Passage		7.5 15/2(+12%)																															(13) Nordic Passage 15/2, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 22/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago, never nearer. Down to a basement mark and a good third after a slow start in a 5f handicap here latest.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 +38%) Havana Notion		25 25/1(+38%)																															(10) Havana Notion 25/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, 40/1) 16 days ago. Opposable. Off for five months and no show in three runs over 5f and 6f since December; hard to fancy.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 -32%) No Speed Limit		33 33/1(-32%)																															(12) No Speed Limit 33/1, 4-time course winner. Four wins from 86 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago. Ran okay when sixth on return from three months off over C&D last month.
11th	6 11th (6) (16/1 +52%) Shelbourne Flyer		16 16/1(+52%)																															(6) Shelbourne Flyer 16/1, 40/1, 2½ lengths eighth of 14 to Hasiyna in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Moderately progressive in three handicap starts but a bit more needed here.
12th	9 12th (9) (8/1 +20%) Livingston Range		8 8/1(+20%)																															(9) Livingston Range 8/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, 3/1) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly. Style of running always suggested that five is his trip; likely to find a couple too good.
13th	11 13th (11) (66/1 -100%) Hezahunk		66 66/1(-100%)																															(11) Hezahunk 66/1, C&D winner. One win from 34 Flat runs. 33/1, first run since leaving Adrian McGuinness when 5¼ lengths eleventh of 14 to Hasiyna in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Blinkers back on. Won a maiden claimer over this C&D in September but that's his only win in 33 starts.

The C&D win of Hasiyna a fortnight ago looks a key piece of form with five of her rivals on that occasion reopposing here and perhaps fourth-placed I'M SPARTACUS can now come out on top. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding has gained all three career wins over this trip including here in September and has held his form well since. Hasiyna has won twice here this winter but now races off a 7lb higher mark, while Velvet Skies has been generally consistent and the booking of Billy Lee could prove significant. Nordic Passage caught the eye when finishing well over 5f here last time.

The vote goes to CLONMACASH, who remains on a good mark following his recent success in a 7f claimer here and should get away with this drop back in trip given the likelihood of a strong gallop. Though below par last time, Livingston Range is capable of a bold show and he is just about second choice ahead of I'm Spartacus and Velvet Skies.

A tentative vote goes the way of JAZZY DANCER, just run out of it behind Hasiyna last time and capable of going two better

1	7 1st (7) (11/4 +63%) Gata Ban		2.75 11/4(+63%)																															(7) Gata Ban 11/4, Irish point winner is yet to better modest form over hurdles and hasn't finished better than mid-division in 3 starts since returning from a near 2-year absence. Now below last winning mark. Ran well for a long way over 3m2f on Boxing Day and today's trip looks more suitable.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -100%) Hellfire Princess		12 12/1(-100%)																															(5) Hellfire Princess 12/1, Twice a winner at Hereford, latest a hard-fought victory, digging deep to land a 15-runner handicap hurdle last January. Slight step up in trip shouldn't be a concern and market should tell us if she's ready to roll after a year-long absence. 2m3f course winner 13 months ago but not seen again since.
3	13 3rd (13) (4/1 +56%) Miss Pearl		4 4/1(+56%)																															(13) Miss Pearl 4/1, Only just found the line coming too soon when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) 5 days ago. Has to be taken seriously on the back of that effort. 0-9 over hurdles but went very close at Bangor on Friday and has same mark here.
4	14 4th (14) (11/1 +21%) Happy Returns		11 11/1(+21%)																															(14) Happy Returns 11/1, Made the frame all 4 completed starts in handicaps during 2023, equipped with first-time cheekpieces when third in an 8-runner Southwell handicap upped to 24.3f in July of that year. Subsequent absence is naturally a concern but the ability is there if she's ready to roll. Placed in first-time cheekpieces in summer 2023 but not seen again since.
5th	10 5th (10) (3/1 +50%) Olivia Kate		3 3/1(+50%)																															(10) Olivia Kate 3/1, Improved to score at Ludlow in November and arrives on the back of a pair of solid placed efforts, albeit jumping badly left late in the contest at Wincanton (19.8f, heavy) 13 days ago. Player again nonetheless. Placed twice since her wide-margin romp in November and a likely contender again here.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 +60%) Marmalade Time		10 10/1(+60%)																															(2) Marmalade Time 10/1, Improved in novice hurdles, winning at Doncaster (19.5f, heavy) last March. Lost form subsequently and offered little returning from 8 months off at Exeter last month, so others are much easier to fancy. Lost her way last spring and was pulled up last month, after a layoff; revival needed.
7th	8 7th (8) (10/1 -186%) Ironed Out		10 10/1(-186%)																															(8) Ironed Out 10/1, Only narrowly denied at Fakenham before Christmas and confirmed improvement shown then when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f) 35 days ago. Should stay this far and remains low-mileage from a handicapping perspective. Opened account over 2m last month and could easily have more to offer over this new trip.
8th	4 8th (4) (10/1 -33%) El Fabienne		10 10/1(-33%)																															(4) El Fabienne 10/1, Looked a weak finisher in a trio of bumpers for Willie Mullins but has displayed some ability over hurdles for this yard, improving when runner-up in a Uttoxeter novice in December. Unsuited by the drop in trip at Doncaster last time and she's worth a market check now handicapping. Displayed promise in all three qualifying runs; could have a say on handicap debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (100/1 -52%) Trudie Glen		100 100/1(-52%)																															(11) Trudie Glen 100/1, Showed something to work with in bumpers/maiden hurdles for Dan Skelton but since left that yard and pulled-up on debut for new connections. Up in trip wearing first-time hood and tongue-tie but difficult to make a strong case for. Pulled up when 50-1 for stable/handicap debut; upped in trip with headgear added here.

HELLFIRE PRINCESS did just what was required to edge a tight finish over the extended 2m3f here in January 2024. Despite a spell on the sidelies,she could be well placed to follow up off 8lb higher, especially with the longer trip not expected to be an issue. Ironed Out was also a game winner over Taunton's extended 2m last time out and should also figure if taking another step forward for this sterner test of stamina. Miss Pearl and Olivia Kate are others for the shortlist.

IRONED OUT has made a positive start to life in handicaps and Evan Williams' mare can defy a 5 lb rise to follow up from last month's Taunton success. Olivia Kate could do with brushing up her jumping but is in good form and remains on a competitive mark, with Miss Pearl also in the mix after being narrowly denied at Bangor last week.

Well-handicapped 8yo GATA BAN signalled a return to form on her latest outing and ought to benefit from today's drop back in trip.

1	5 1st (5) (11/1 -69%) New Order		11 11/1(-69%)																															(5) New Order 11/1, Got off the mark at Warwick (24f) in December but beat only one at Newbury following month. Hooded and worth another chance with few miles still on the clock. 7l winner two runs back before racing too freely at Newbury; considered in the new hood.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -33%) Theformismighty		6 6/1(-33%)																															(1) Theformismighty 6/1, Got off the mark in this sphere at Southwell in December but only seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Newbury (22.4f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Went up 10lb for his 10l Southwell win and it could be that he's now on a tough mark.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 -57%) Stringtoyourbow		11 11/1(-57%)																															(7) Stringtoyourbow 11/1, Looked on the up when bagging handicaps at Southwell and Musselburgh before Christmas but he found little when only second of 4 back at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) last time. Needs to get back on track. An improving chaser but wouldn't want the ground to any worse than good to soft.
4	6 4th (6) (11/2 +0%) Kilta		5.5 11/2(+0%)																															(6) Kilta 11/2, Scored at Cartmel in May and has continued in largely good nick, third of 7 in handicap chase at Haydock (21.6f, soft) 70 days ago. Needs considering. He's dropped back down the weights and latest Haydock run was quite encouraging.
8	8 |F| (8) (13/2 +54%) Rumoursareflying		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(8) Rumoursareflying 13/2, Reliable maiden hurdler who came in a respectable fourth of 10 in novice here (16f, heavy) 20 days ago. Much respected now going over fences. Doesn't look on an obviously lenient mark but may improve for fences.
3	3 |PU| (3) (5/1 +17%) Taras Halls		5 5/1(+17%)																															(3) Taras Halls 5/1, Opened his chase account at Uttoxeter in December but he beat only one in handicap chase at Haydock (19.9f, soft) 25 days ago. Has a bit to prove now. His first real blip over fences when running no race last time at Haydock.
2	2 |PU| (2) (13/2 +24%) Hurricane Bay		6.5 13/2(+24%)																															(2) Hurricane Bay 13/2, Looked rusty after 6 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (19.8f, good) on his debut over fences, doing too much too soon. Off another 15 months so needs to hit the ground running. Absent a good while but potentially well handicapped if he's as good as he was.
4	4 |PU| (4) (16/5 +9%) Getaway Drumlee		3.2 16/5(+9%)																															(4) Getaway Drumlee 16/5, Has made a good start in this sphere, travelling strongly but collared late on when second of 7 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, soft) 64 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. Dual hurdle winner who has run well in both his handicap chases; untouched mark.

A respectable second when going from the front over this distance at Fontwell last time out, GETAWAY DRUMLEE sets the standard on form and he can strike for a third career success at a track that should suit. Kilta did well when coming from off the pace to finish third at Haydock in December and must enter calculations, along with Stringtoyourbow, who has scored on two of his last three starts.

Ben Pauling's GETAWAY DRUMLEE signalled his turn is near when runner-up at Fontwell last time and can go one better now off the same mark. The consistent Kilta is next on the list, with Theformismighty appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

This looks open. Lucy Wadham is enjoying a solid season and her HURRICANE BAY has the potential to be well handicapped.

1	1 1st (1) (17/2 +6%) Montrachet Girl		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(1) Montrachet Girl 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when good fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 16/1) 28 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and she looks vulnerable. Got going too late when 4th on last month's stable/handicap debut last month; more needed.
2	8 2nd (8) (25/1 -79%) Sabrimento		25 25/1(-79%)																															(8) Sabrimento 25/1, Winner at Bath in October. Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago. Blinkers back on and he needs to raise his game a touch. Latest Kempton second (6f) was better but this is a stronger race; yard also run McKenna.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +38%) Mckenna		2.5 5/2(+38%)																															(4) Mckenna 5/2, Promising type. Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago, readily. This 7 lb higher mark may not prove to be beyond him. Impressed in blinkers 15 days ago, scooting clear of the reopposing Blue Seeker; up 7lb.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 +19%) Standput		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(3) Standput 13/2, Lightly-raced winner. 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago by ½ length from Bad Habits. 3 lb rise fair enough and should be in the shake-up. Improved for the switch to handicaps when beating Bad Habits at Wolverhampton; unexposed.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +14%) Blue Seeker		3 3/1(+14%)																															(5) Blue Seeker 3/1, Promising sort. Winner at Wolverhampton in December. 10/11, respectable 3¾ lengths third of 7 to Mckenna in handicap back there (7.2f) 15 days ago. Wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and he remains with potential. Beaten at odds-on when 3rd to McKenna at Wolverhampton latest; not fully exposed just yet.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/3 +17%) Easily Convinced		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(2) Easily Convinced 10/3, Twice-raced winner. Won 8-runner maiden (2/5) at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. Open to progress now handicapping and he needs considering. Overcame inexperience (hung sharply left late on) when winning at Chelmsford latest.
7th	7 7th (7) (10/1 +0%) Azoozi		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Azoozi 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f, well-backed 10/3) 28 days ago. Has work to do. Only midfield when favourite on handicap debut last month; this looks warm for the grade.
8th	6 8th (6) (66/1 -560%) Bad Habits		66 66/1(-560%)																															(6) Bad Habits 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good ½-length second to Standput in first-time blinkers (retained) at Wolverhampton recently (since left George Boughey). Live each-way candidate up 2 lb. Chased home Standput at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago; changed hands for 12,000gns since.

EASILY CONVINCED showed promise on debut at Kempton early last month and readily eclipsed that when he won going away at Chelmsford shortly after. Keeping the son of Kodi Bear busy is a logical move and he steps into handicap company with a live chance of taking advantage of potentially lenient opening mark of just 71. Fellow last-time-out winner McKenna is another appealing option having proven he can win races. Sabrimento and Bad Habits complete the shortlist.

Competitive stuff, with several appealing candidates on show. Top of the list is BLUE SEEKER, who wasn't seen to best effect when third to McKenna at Wolverhampton and, provided that things pan out more favourably this time, the son of Blue Point has a good chance of reversing those placings on 8 lb better terms. That being said, McKenna remains open to improvement and is greatly respected, along with the unexposed Easily Convinced and Risk, who appears to be gradually progressing.

Standput and MCKENNA (nap) won different divisions of a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and the latter can follow up.

Sure to improve. Player. Should come on plenty for her debut although does not appear to be the stable first string.

6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 +8%) After Love		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(1) After Love 11/2, Twice-raced filly, solid third of 14 in maiden (9/2) at this C&D 16 days ago. In the picture. Tried over 7f once more and has an each-way chance but may again find one or two too good.
7th	10 7th (10) (10/1 +29%) Sottsands		10 10/1(+29%)																															(10) Sottsands 10/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 14 in maiden (9/1) at this C&D on debut 16 days ago, never nearer. Should improve. Beat some useful sorts in a barrier trial here; off until running okay here two weeks ago.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 +20%) Oiche Rua		40 40/1(+20%)																															(7) Oiche Rua 40/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at this C&D on debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Should improve for her debut run and not without a chance at probably a big price.
9th	5 9th (5) (14/1 -56%) Lady Astronaut		14 14/1(-56%)																															(5) Lady Astronaut 14/1, $80,000 foal, Uncle Mo filly. Dam US maiden half-sister to US 9f winner Trojan Nation (runner-up in US Grade 1 9f event) out of Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' winner Storm Song. Noteworthy newcomer. Well-bred filly with a good mix of speed and stamina in her pedigree; others more likely.
10th	6 10th (6) (200/1 -203%) Madam Zen		200 200/1(-203%)																															(6) Madam Zen 200/1, Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 66/1) on debut 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Not a factor in a 1m maiden here last week; others more likely.
11th	4 11th (4) (200/1 -203%) Jasmine Affanalis		200 200/1(-203%)																															(4) Jasmine Affanalis 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at this course (8f) 33 days ago. Well down the field in two maidens here and needs this for a handicap mark.
12th	3 12th (3) (28/1 +15%) Faye Presto		28 28/1(+15%)																															(3) Faye Presto 28/1, £10,000 yearling, Gleneagles filly. Dam, 7f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m London Icon. Inexpensively bought filly best watched on debut.
13th	8 13th (8) (16/1 -78%) Ribean		16 16/1(-78%)																															(8) Ribean 16/1, €80,000 2-y-o, Bolt D'oro filly. Half-sister to 2 US winners by Exaggerator, notably useful 1m minor stakes winner Candidate. Dam US 4.5f-7f (including minor stakes) winner. Wears tongue strap. Considered debutante. Bred to be effective at around this trip but not the stable first-string.

AFTER LOVE has shown promise on both outings over C&D and had Sottsands over three lengths behind in fourth, with Oiche Rua fifth, when making the frame behind Thunder Song last month. The form of that maiden looks solid enough as the runner-up, Ze Do Asfalto, went close here again last Friday. Beautiful Affair is an obvious threat. She didn't enjoy the clearest of passages on debut and again went off favourite here over a mile when runner-up to Powerful Lady last month. Timandi won a barrier trial at Leopardstown and shaped well on this surface when fourth to Honeysuckle Rose in December. Spicy Margarita and Wannabe Royal are others to note.

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand here and his WANNABE ROYAL gets the vote on the back of a good C&D third, ahead of stablemate Beautiful Affair who also looks to have more to offer. Timandi can also have a say along with Spicy Margarita.

It might be worth giving a chance to TIMANDI, who put up an improved effort here last time and should have more to offer

1	6 1st (6) (7/2 -75%) Oh My Johnny		3.5 7/2(-75%)																															(6) Oh My Johnny 7/2, Made amends for his luckless Bangor effort when scoring in ready fashion at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) in December, pushed out near finish. Proved to be a rare disappointment for his in-form yard switched to a handicap at Haydock and now steps up in trip. Looked promising before a flop when hot favourite for handicap debut at Haydock (2m, soft).
2	3 2nd (3) (9/4 +32%) Reallyntruthfully		2.25 9/4(+32%)																															(3) Reallyntruthfully 9/4, Runner-up sole outing in points last spring and showed promise in a Huntingdon bumper/maiden hurdle before opening his account at Warwick (21f). Improved again when fifth of 10 on handicap debut at Windsor subsequently and remains capable of better. Fifth on handicap debut (2m4f, soft) but it was a bold show from the front; down in class.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/3 +44%) Klic Boum		3.333333 10/3(+44%)																															(11) Klic Boum 10/3, Caught the eye in maiden/novice hurdles and again shaped well when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 15 days ago, finishing with running left. Still unexposed and one to be interested in. Needs improvement in this second handicap but dropped 3lb and may be capable of better.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 -14%) Maxcel		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Maxcel 16/1, Resumed progress when landing back-to-back handicaps in June but off since finishing tailed off in a deeper race at Market Rasen in July. Tailed off in Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen (2m) in July last time; unproven beyond 2m1f.
5th	4 5th (4) (12/1 -20%) Maasai Mara		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Maasai Mara 12/1, Fairly useful on Flat and similar form when landing a Catterick juvenile last season. Unconvincing in 3 runs on the Flat last summer and was below form back over hurdles in 4-runner event over C&D in December. Refused to race on penultimate hurdle race; well held latest; work to do but drop in class.
6th	2 6th (2) (40/1 -100%) Pounding Poet		40 40/1(-100%)																															(2) Pounding Poet 40/1, Useful handicap hurdler at best but completely out of sorts last season, faring no better on the back of a breathing operation at Doncaster (24.4f) on final outing. Needs to hit the ground running on this return to action. Last season was a struggle; off 357 days and it's ages since he ran over a trip this short.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 -300%) Dj Pete		100 100/1(-300%)																															(9) Dj Pete 100/1, Malinas gelding who showed fair form in bumpers and definite promise despite jumping none too fluently when fifth in a Doncaster maiden (2.8f) in January 2023. Failed to progress in 2 subsequent starts however and sold out of Harry Derham's yard for only 1,600 gns in September. Handicap debut; last seen in May 2023 for Oliver Sherwood, posing a major question.
8th	8 8th (8) (11/2 +39%) Melton Mossy		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(8) Melton Mossy 11/2, Gained a fourth win of a very productive first half of the season when striking under Eleanor Williams at Ludlow (21f, good to soft) in November. Has remained in form since and should give another good account back up in trip. Did well last year; perhaps hindered by soft ground last time; up another 3lb.
9th	5 9th (5) (14/1 +0%) Guy		14 14/1(+0%)																															(5) Guy 14/1, Produced a much stouter finish than usual when scoring at Kelso in May but below form all 3 outings since. Back over hurdles. Backward steps in the autumn over fences; first hurdle race since a novice win in May 2023.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -52%) Gentle Frank		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Gentle Frank 50/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) on reappearance 18 days ago, labouring before 4 out. Easy enough to oppose. No show when he reverted to hurdling last month after a 406-day absence.

MAASAI MARA returned from a break to finish third over C&D behind smart performer Nemean Lion just before Christmas and the five-year-old may still be fairly treated in this discipline. Reallyntruthfully is expected to benefit from this more conventional track based on his latest effort at Windsor and remains with potential. Others for the shortlist include Melton Mossy and Oh My Johnny.

REALLYNTRUTHFULLY is building up a positive profile and, with this looking a slightly weaker handicap than the one he contested at Windsor last time, he's fancied to resume winning ways. Klic Boum again caught the eye at Chepstow just over a fortnight ago and seems sure to be winning before long, while it remains early days for Oh My Johnny, who'd impressed prior to disappointing on his handicap bow at Haydock.

Oh My Johnny is second choice. REALLYNTRUTHFULLY still had a narrow lead over the final flight on his handicap debut at Windsor.

1	3 1st (3) (17/2 +15%) West To The Bridge		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(3) West To The Bridge 17/2, Stepped up on his comeback run when third at Bangor (19.6f, soft) in November but not in the same form both starts since, fifth of 9 at Ffos Las (23.9f, heavy) last month. Veteran of the line-up, though he's on a handy mark as cheekpieces go back on. A 12yo who has been beaten the last twice and he would prefer soft ground.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/2 0%) Bertie's Ballet		4.5 9/2(0%)																															(9) Bertie's Ballet 9/2, Has got back on track quickly reverted to hurdling this season, better than ever when scoring in determined fashion at Haydock (15.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Remains lightly raced at this longer trip and he could be thereabouts once more. His first handicap success when digging deep for a narrow verdict at Haydock.
3	11 3rd (11) (28/1 +30%) Balboa		28 28/1(+30%)																															(11) Balboa 28/1, Fairly useful juvenile hurdler, winning at Chepstow on third start, and ran well when second at the same course on return in October. However, form has gone the wrong way the last twice, well held at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Has stamina to prove and his current form after two quiet runs in January.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 +7%) Range		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(5) Range 13/2, Confirmed promise of hurdling bow when winning a Chepstow novice last term and also scored at the same course on second start over fences this season. Let down by jumping on 2 most recent outings, but he could fare better making handicap hurdle debut. Fell in a Grade 2 chase last time; could be dangerous off this mark back over hurdles.
5th	13 5th (13) (3/1 +50%) Highlands Legacy		3 3/1(+50%)																															(13) Highlands Legacy 3/1, Off the mark at third attempt over hurdles with a wide-margin success at Southwell last spring. Failed to land the odds next time, but after 8 months off he was a good second of 15 on handicap debut at Wincanton (19.8f, soft) last month. Could be in the mix. Bumped into one with potential when runner-up on his handicap debut; in the mix.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 -33%) American Sniper		12 12/1(-33%)																															(6) American Sniper 12/1, Back to best with cheekpieces refitted when gamely landing 4-runner handicap at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) in November. Has continued in good heart both starts since, third at this course (21.2f, soft) on Boxing Day, and he can give his running again. Capable on his day but may be vulnerable over this shorter trip (last win was at 3m).
7th	12 7th (12) (22/1 +21%) Rich Spirit		22 22/1(+21%)																															(12) Rich Spirit 22/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler in 2023/24 but failed to complete on final 2 races in March. Also fell twice in 3 starts over fences to begin the current season, before finishing well beaten back hurdling at this C&D (soft) 11 days ago. Chasing has not gone to plan and he offered little on return to hurdling here 11 days ago.
8th	10 8th (10) (3/1 +33%) Il Va De Soi		3 3/1(+33%)																															(10) Il Va De Soi 3/1, Ended last season with victories at Chepstow and Uttoxeter in April and shaped well on second start of the current campaign, travelling fluently under a positive ride when runner-up at Sandown (19.8f, soft) 19 days ago. Major player with more still to offer. Although beaten 10l into second at Sandown (2m4f, soft), the winner is on a roll.
2	2 |PU| (2) (20/1 -67%) Persian Time		20 20/1(-67%)																															(2) Persian Time 20/1, Won 2 of first 4 starts over fences last term, but ended the campaign in underwhelming fashion and hasn't shown much spark in 2 outings this season. However, he's capable if on a going day as he makes handicap hurdle debut with blinkers applied. Regressed over fences but returns to hurdling in first-time headgear; on a good mark.
4	4 |PU| (4) (40/1 -100%) Pinot Rouge		40 40/1(-100%)																															(4) Pinot Rouge 40/1, Took well to hurdling last season, winning listed novice at Doncaster ahead of good fourth in Aintree Grade 1. Having started current campaign over fences, returned to form back hurdling at Ayr in January, before facing a stiff task at Doncaster last time. More needed. Has some flashes of smart form but 3m looks more her trip.
8	8 |PU| (8) (40/1 -60%) Herbiers		40 40/1(-60%)																															(8) Herbiers 40/1, Useful handicap hurdler/chaser at best, but there has been little to shout about since returning from a lengthy absence in November, pulled up on 2 of 3 starts this season (over fences last 2 outings). Has enough to prove now tried in visor. A sudden turnaround is needed with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces.

A progressive sort at the end of last season, IL VA DE SOI's recent effort when second at Sandown was highly encouraging. The return of 3lb claimer Alice Steven to the saddle is a big plus, having won him twice before, and the seven-year-old may have enough to see off Haydock winner Bertie's Ballet and American Sniper, who was a respectable third over further here in December. Others to note include Hardy Du Seuil, Herbiers and Range.

IL VA DE SOI ended 2023/24 on the up and caught the eye with how fluently he travelled at Sandown on his second run back this season, only beaten by a progressive type, so he is taken to resume winning ways. He can see off the challenge of Hardy du Seuil, who is respected back down in grade, with Bertie's Ballet completing the shortlist.

A return to hurdles has been forced upon RANGE after he fell in two of his four chases and that move could be a blessing.

1	5 1st (5) (SP +100%) Soames Forsyte		0 SP(+100%)																															(5) Soames Forsyte SP, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D (3/1) 13 days ago. Can give a good account. Solid option having won and finished third over C&D this year.
2	4 2nd (4) (SP +100%) Emily Post		0 SP(+100%)																															(4) Emily Post SP, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Sixth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (6f) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly if back on her A-game. Hard to fancy on balance but does at least drop into a 0-65 for the first time.
3	9 3rd (9) (SP +100%) Turbo Command		0 SP(+100%)																															(9) Turbo Command SP, 3-time C&D winner. 9/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, running on. Given a chance by the handicapper. Thrives off an honest pace and a few of these like to get on with it; interesting.
4	1 4th (1) (SP +100%) Miss Sunset Strip		0 SP(+100%)																															(1) Miss Sunset Strip SP, 7/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 60 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can't be supported on what's been seen away from Chelmsford.
5th	8 5th (8) (SP +100%) Jump The Gun		0 SP(+100%)																															(8) Jump The Gun SP, Course winner. 10/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, merely closing up late. Unreliable sort. In the doldrums and C&D fifth 19 days ago wasn't enough of a revival.
6th	11 6th (11) (SP +100%) Pembrokeshire		0 SP(+100%)																															(11) Pembrokeshire SP, Resumed winning ways at Ayr (7.2f) in July and largely creditable efforts before a lesser run when seventh of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to soft) in October. Starts out for new yard operating 2 lb below last winning mark, so interesting if the market speaks in his favour. Market informative starting out for Mick Appleby off 121-day break.
7th	7 7th (7) (SP +100%) Royal Jet		0 SP(+100%)																															(7) Royal Jet SP, Lightly-raced winner. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 55 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Edward Smyth-Osbourne and not ruled out. New yard likely to find the key to him but Cut To The Chase looks their main hope in this.
8th	2 8th (2) (SP +100%) Aram		0 SP(+100%)																															(2) Aram SP, First run since leaving A. Bin Harmash when fourth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on UK debut 29 days ago. Not ruled out with that run (first for 11 months) under her belt. Considered if market vibes are more positive on second start for Karl Burke.
9th	10 9th (10) (SP +100%) Exceed Now		0 SP(+100%)																															(10) Exceed Now SP, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 66/1). Off 161 days. Hard to fancy on what's been seen for new yard in his two handicaps; now gelded; up to 7f.
3	3 |U| (3) (SP +100%) Cut To The Chase		0 SP(+100%)																															(3) Cut To The Chase SP, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/5) 25 days ago. Up 6 lb but he scored readily there so he's a likely player again in his hat-trick bid. Could easily defy another 6lb rise with new track and return to further both likely okay.

On the back of a couple of facile successes, CUT TO THE CHASE is progressive enough to cope with a 6lb rise imposed for his latest win and is readily suggested as the one to be with here. Turbo Command is attractively weighted off 1lb below his last winning mark and can give the section the most to think about. Soames Forsyte and H Key Lails are the pick of the remainder.

CUT TO THE CHASE arrives on the up and from a yard well among the winners so is fancied to make light of a 6 lb rise and complete his hat-trick. Turbo Command has slipped to a handy-looking mark and could emerge as the main danger ahead of H Key Lails and Soames Forsyte.

Hat-trick seeker CUT TO THE CHASE shouldn't be inconvenienced by returning to further and will surely take to another new track.

1	6 1st (6) (7/2 +30%) Follow Your Heart		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(6) Follow Your Heart 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago. Place possibilities. Three-time C&D winner who has a fighting chance with Warren Fentiman taking off 3lb.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +60%) Hieronymus		8 8/1(+60%)																															(2) Hieronymus 8/1, Four-time course winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 40/1) 56 days ago. Now below last winning mark but others make more appeal all the same. Four course wins, the most recent last February; inconsistent since.
3	1 3rd (1) (13/2 +7%) Brasil Power		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(1) Brasil Power 13/2, Three-time C&D winner. 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago, running on. Not without each-way hope. Three-time C&D scorer who is interesting back at Kempton; Fred Daly takes off handy 5lb.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 +30%) Billy Mill		7 7/1(+30%)																															(5) Billy Mill 7/1, Course winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/2) 18 days ago. Others more persuasive. Less reliable since last success; not a solid option at present.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 -144%) Bell Shot		11 11/1(-144%)																															(9) Bell Shot 11/1, 10/3, creditable short-head second of 9 to Arctician in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago, just failing. Now 1 lb better off with the winner and he's a big player. Could well reverse last-time C&D placings with Arctician, as Kyle McHugh takes off 5lb.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/1 -33%) Arctician		6 6/1(-33%)																															(8) Arctician 6/1, 11/1, won 9-runner handicap at this C&D 23 days ago by short head from Bell Shot, all out. That was his fourth success over C&D and, nudged up just 1 lb, he should again have a part to play. C&D wins in two of last three starts, latest by a short head from Bell Shot; in the mix.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/3 +52%) Daring Legend		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(4) Daring Legend 10/3, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 8/1) 18 days ago. Will need a couple of these to falter if he's to get his head in front. Yard also saddles Bell Shot. Spoiled chance by taking good hold last time but he is 1-1 under Tom Kiely-Marshall.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -120%) Revolutionise		22 22/1(-120%)																															(7) Revolutionise 22/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford in November. 17/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago. Another with an each-way chance. Has lacked consistency since last win; held by Follow Your Heart on latest effort.
9th	3 9th (3) (14/1 -40%) Vibrato		14 14/1(-40%)																															(3) Vibrato 14/1, Three wins from 8 runs last year, the latest at Southwell in December. 6/1 and hooded for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 34 days ago. Back down in trip and looks vulnerable for win purposes. Has done his wining on Tapeta; still needs to show he's just as good on Polytrack.

A 77-day break proved just the trick for ARCTICIAN when regaining the winning thread over C&D last month. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks more than workable for Simon Dow's gelding and a fifth victory over today's track and trip could be imminent. The reopposing Bell Shot was just behind the selection 23 days ago and is feared most racing off an unchanged mark, ahead of Follow Your Heart.

There was very little to choose between BELL SHOT and Arctician over C&D last month, with the latter narrowly emerging on top. It should again be close but Bell Shot is taken to prevail this time, meeting the winner on 1 lb better terms, plus his rider claims a handy 5 lb. Revolutionise is best of the rest.

The two suggestions against the field are the Mick Appleby-trained runners BELL SHOT and Daring Legend.

2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +10%) Endless Dawn		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(8) Endless Dawn 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden.

3	3 3rd (3) (5/4 +38%) Merchants Arch		1.25 5/4(+38%)																															(3) Merchants Arch 5/4, Off 8 weeks before a very good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, running on. Big shout in his bid for a maiden victory. Second to a decisive winner over C&D two weeks ago; going the right way and a big player.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 +31%) Elvetham		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(2) Elvetham 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 100/1), slowly away. Off 107 days. Visor on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for. Visored for his handicap debut and no surprise should he be capable of much better.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -83%) Charanda		11 11/1(-83%)																															(1) Charanda 11/1, Respectable fourth of 12 in maiden (12/1) at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Yard in good form. Shortlisted. Running on at the finish in a 5f maiden here two weeks ago; respected back up in trip.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -10%) Weegeebear		22 22/1(-10%)																															(6) Weegeebear 22/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (28/1) at this course (6f) 33 days ago. More is needed. Didn't run badly after a slow start in a 1m nursery and not beaten far here last month.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 -175%) Dowth		33 33/1(-175%)																															(4) Dowth 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (14/1) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Must find best form. Ran like she needed it here last time and potentially interesting on her handicap debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -52%) Clarabell		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Clarabell 50/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (5f, 125/1) 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Tapped for toe over 5f latest but overall profile fails to enthuse; others more likely.

ENDLESS DAWN shaped well in two recent handicap starts since joining Ado McGuinness and may be suited by this intermediate trip. The selection showed plenty of pace over 6f and then had Tam Lin just half a length behind when not enjoying the clearest of passages in fourth behind Lost President over a mile. The latter's stablemate Merchants Arch is another to consider after beating all bar Lyle The Crocodile over C&D last time, while Charanda has been tried over a variety of distances and was keeping on in the closing stages when fourth to Red Evolution over 5f a fortnight ago.

MERCHANTS ARCH took a step foward when runner-up over C&D recently and is fancied to go one better now and get off the mark at the chief expense of handily-weighted Tam Lin. Endless Dawn and Charanda can both have a say too in this open handicap.

Preference is for MERCHANTS ARCH(nap) who showed here two weeks ago that he is going the right way and he can land this

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 +33%) Kool Kid		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(3) Kool Kid 10/3, £60,000 4-y-o, Kool Kompany gelding. Dam 1¾m winner. Runner-up last 2 starts in Irish points (latest Nov 3) and pedigree suggests he could well be suited by the demands of this sort of test. In-form yard are 2-13 with their bumper runners to date this term and he's one to note. Bought for £60,000 after going close in two Irish points in the autumn; rules debut today.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 -33%) Race To Base		3 3/1(-33%)																															(4) Race To Base 3/1, £75,000 4-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 19) and offered something to work on when fourth of 6 in bumper at Aintree 7 weeks ago. One to consider down in class with that run under his belt. Irish point winner; satisfactory start to rules career when fourth of six at Aintree.
3	8 3rd (8) (15/2 +32%) Peter's Last Deal		7.5 15/2(+32%)																															(8) Peter's Last Deal 15/2, Walzertakt gelding. Half-brother to Liliput Has and Limpopo Has. Dam (c111/h106) 2¼m chase winner. Yard 1-8 in bumpers so far this season and interesting if the market spoke in his favour on debut. Out of a French chase winner; stable 5-43 in bumpers during last five seasons.
4	5 4th (5) (28/1 -180%) Border Gem		28 28/1(-180%)																															(5) Border Gem 28/1, Out of a winning pointer and signs of ability when fifth in a bumper at Taunton in November. Will need to step forward from that if she's to make an impact, though. Finished behind Build Your Dream when fifth at Taunton in November; improvement needed.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 -80%) Harry Bright		9 9/1(-80%)																															(2) Harry Bright 9/1, 5-y-o who had wind surgery ahead of debut and ultimately shaped like a stayer when sixth of 13 in bumper at Chepstow (2m, good) in November, plugging on. Should have more to offer given connections but longer trips likely to suit ideally over jumps. Unable to land a telling blow when sixth on Chepstow debut but only beaten about 11l.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 +36%) Fight My Fire		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Fight My Fire 9/1, €22,000 3-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including 5f-6f winner Billian. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Market should guide as one of 2 representatives from the Tizzard yard. Flat-bred 4yo; one of two runners representing Joe Tizzard.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -21%) Jammy Jay		40 40/1(-21%)																															(6) Jammy Jay 40/1, Poet's Word mare. Dam unraced. Yard 0-16 with their runners in this sphere in last 5 seasons and she's probably best watched on racecourse bow. Third foal; unraced dam half-sister to minor winners; probably best watched on debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (9/2 -64%) Build Your Dream		4.5 9/2(-64%)																															(1) Build Your Dream 9/2, No Risk At All gelding who showed ability when fourth of 8 on debut in a Taunton bumper (16.5f) in November, despite a slowly-run race/sharp track not getting near the bottom of him. In top hands and he looks sure to improve. Shaped with promise when fourth in tactical race at Taunton in November; likely contender.

KOOL KID has gone close on his last couple of starts in the point-to-point sphere and the experience gained there will help him on his Rules bow. Race To Base is open to progression following his fourth at Aintree on Boxing Day with similar comments applying to Build Your Dream, who occupied the same position at Taunton in November and should step forward.

A winner of his only start in points, RACE TO BASE offered something to work on when fourth in a higher grade on bumper debut at Aintree 7 weeks ago. He's given the narrow vote to build on that, with Rules debutant Kool Kid also of interest. Build Your Dream rates a likely improver following his debut fourth at Taunton and is another needing to be factored in.

Paul Nicholls' runner BUILD YOUR DREAM probably did not enjoy a favourable tactical scenario when fourth on his debut and can improve.

Market support interesting. Has yet to replicate best bumper form over hurdles but handicaps should be more like it.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +50%) Royal Rhythm		2 2/1(+50%)																															(1) Royal Rhythm 2/1, Course winner who has yet to fire this term, though has been given big chance by handicapper as a result.

3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 +38%) Kauto D'amour		10 10/1(+38%)																															(4) Kauto D'amour 10/1, Showed nothing after 14 months off when pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, soft) 63 days ago.

4	6 4th (6) (11/1 -38%) Perfect Arch		11 11/1(-38%)																															(6) Perfect Arch 11/1, Long-standing maiden who could only manage sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) 59 days ago. despite having the run of things. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Down the field in his latest races and now 0-43 under all codes; tongue tied first time.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 +58%) Tommy Johnson		5 5/1(+58%)																															(2) Tommy Johnson 5/1, Showed promise on 3 of 4 starts last season and is entitled to be sharper for his recent Catterick return after 13 months off. Not dismissed. Hasn't progressed and was beaten 13l and 31l in his handicaps; more needed.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/3 -78%) Prince Nino		3.333333 10/3(-78%)																															(7) Prince Nino 10/3, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but stepped up on recent run when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft, 7/1) 27 days ago, finishing to good effect. Has to enter calculations. Went down by a narrow margin last time and has to be feared off just 3lb higher.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -100%) Windsor Wife		20 20/1(-100%)																															(8) Windsor Wife 20/1, Dead-heated for first on her sole start in Irish points, but has shaped with no encouragement on all 4 starts over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut. Has shown little under rules and she's 21lb out of the weights for this handicap debut.
5	5 |PU| (5) (15/2 -25%) Silverbridge		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(5) Silverbridge 15/2, Fair form on Flat for John Joseph Murphy in Ireland. Initial efforts in this sphere were low key but upped his game when third on handicap debut at Bangor in April. Not so good both starts since and needs to get back on track after an 8-month absence. Below par on good ground the last twice but probably needs it softer; respected.

It is difficult to look past PRINCE NINO, who was narrowly denied over further at Newcastle last time out, for which he has been raised 3lb. That mark is still 10lb lower than his last success, and it may be the relatively unexposed Silverbridge that gives him the most to think about for in-form connections. A winner here over two years ago, Royal Rhythm has shown very little since, but cannot be ruled out with that course form to his name.

ROYAL RHYTHM has unquestionably been disappointing so far this season, but he's been given a major chance by the handicapper as a result and is taken to revive. Prince Nino can give another good account, while Farmer Jimmy could prove a different proposition now handicapping up in trip.

Despite lacking a recent run, SILVERBRIDGE looks worth chancing back on softer ground as most of these have questions to answer.

2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +83%) All Cost		2 2/1(+83%)																															(1) All Cost 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 11 in novice (400/1) at Chelmsford City (7f), very slowly away. Off 104 days. Makes handicap debut. Others more persuasive. Has weak form claims but may do better now handicapping and upped in trip.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, improved when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 9/1) 11 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Betting informative and needs considering. Improved form at Wolverhampton on reappearance; could take another step forward; respected.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -100%) Spinning Dancer		18 18/1(-100%)																															(7) Spinning Dancer 18/1, Poor maiden but better than bare result when sixth of 9 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago, not clear run. Has to be taken seriously in weak race. Record suggests she's not certain to back up latest effort.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/1 -9%) Eva's Eyes		6 6/1(-9%)																															(8) Eva's Eyes 6/1, Poor maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 8/1) 11 days ago. Mixed results since handicapping and is a touch exposed.

8th	6 8th (6) (7/1 +30%) Arctic Mission		7 7/1(+30%)																															(6) Arctic Mission 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, ninth of 13 in novice at this course (7f) 35 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. May improve now handicapping over a new trip and fitted with headgear.

Recent solid form is thin on the ground and it could be worth taking a punt on one of the handicap debutants, with ARCTIC MISSION a tentative selection. The son of El Kabeir should have learned plenty from his three runs to date and first-time blinkers could prove fruitful. All Cost boasts a similar profile to the selection and market support for either would be interesting. Galette is the pick of the remainder.

It could be worth chancing SPINNING DANCER, who caught the eye in a similar event at Wolverhampton 11 days ago. Galette (also shaped better than the bare result) and Ballarat Bertie ran in the same race and are considered also.

The pick of the runners who already have handicap form is BALLARAT BERTIE. All Cost is open to improvement on handicap debut.

Modest on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Some reasonable handicap form in 23-24; hurdles form is modest enough and others preferred.

DROMORE GLORY returned in good form after a seven-month break winning over C&D and made a bold bid to follow up last Friday when headed close home by Omakase with the reserves, Latin and Gardone, dead-heating for fourth. The selection has been raised 3lb in future handicaps. Deed Pole has gone close on a number of occasions here this winter and now steps back up to 1m4f after filling the runner-up spot on his latest two starts. The Cian Hughes-trained gelding is closely matched with Slowdownbarney on running here just before Christmas. Newfire tries this trip for the first time, while Warrior Lion and Esticky End are others to consider.

DROMORE GLORY hasn't finished out of the first 2 in his 3 handicap starts here and is taken to gain compensation for Friday's near miss. Colin Keane's mount Deed Pole is another with a solid course record and heads the dangers along with Slowdownbarney and Glyde Ranger.

Off the same mark as when narrowly failing here last Friday, it is hard to overlook DROMORE GLORY and he is a confident selection

The hat-trick seeking Manton Road warrants respect in his current heart and a 3lb higher mark for a cosy victory at Wolverhampton earlier this month is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, prior to his recorded double, Gay Kelleway's inmate was demoted to second behind reopposing winner PERFECT RUBY at Lingfield. The daughter of Dandy Man proved a different proposition in first-time blinkers that day and she's a shade more compelling. Stable debutant Appleblossomwhite completes the shortlist.

MANTON ROAD isn't the most straightforward but he got the better of a couple of well-backed rivals at Wolverhampton 11 days ago so should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Perfect Ruby showed big improvement when promoted to first at Lingfield last month and rates the main threat ahead of another last-time-out winner Perfect Parole.

This is competitive but MANTON ROAD has continued to progress since being demoted against Perfect Ruby and he gets the vote.

1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +50%) Genoah		1 1/1(+50%)																															(1) Genoah 1/1, 4/1, career best when winning 13-runner maiden at this C&D 89 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Beat two subsequent winners in a C&D maiden in November, good chance on handicap debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 +30%) Annaghmccanns		7 7/1(+30%)																															(5) Annaghmccanns 7/1, Course maiden winner over 1m in November. 22/1, seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (1m again) since. Up in trip. All three runs have been over 1m here, won on second start, unplaced in first handicap.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/2 -40%) Autocrat		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(2) Autocrat 7/2, Four-time C&D winner, the latest in 6-runner handicap 14 days ago, driven clear. Should remain very competitive despite a 7 lb rise. Has gained four of his five course wins over this trip, had plenty to spare two weeks ago.
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 +31%) Solar Breeze		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(3) Solar Breeze 11/2, Course winner. 20¾ lengths last of 9 to Curvature in listed race at Listowel (9f, good to soft, 100/1). Off 141 days. Well treated on pick of form if primed after a break. Faced tough task on final two turf starts in 2024, good second at the Curragh in August.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -115%) Church Mountain		14 14/1(-115%)																															(6) Church Mountain 14/1, Dual C&D winner in October. Only seventh on the hat-trick bid here (12f) in early November but could bounce back after a break. Won twice over C&D in October, went up 12lb and is possibly a bit high as a result.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -75%) Storm Eric		14 14/1(-75%)																															(7) Storm Eric 14/1, Course winner in January. Went close over C&D 4 days later but only 17 lengths fifth of 6 to Autocrat over C&D latest. Winner over 1m three second starts back, held by Autocrat on recent C&D form.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -12%) Tremaine		28 28/1(-12%)																															(4) Tremaine 28/1, Has struggled in juvenile hurdle for Denis Hogan in recent months but was an AW Flat winner in France. One to note in the betting. Decent form in France at two including on AW, fit from hurdling, potentially interesting.

GENOAH has shown his best form on this surface filling the runner-up spot over a mile last summer and appreciated the step up to this trip when opening his account last time. The form of that maiden win has worked out very well since and the selection has scope for further improvement on his handicap debut. Autocrat is well suited by this C&D and has built up a good association with Nicola Burns scoring twice this winter including a decisive success last month with Storm Eric well behind in fifth. The latter is better judged on his previous two runs, while Church Mountain won twice over C&D in October and probably didn't stay 1m4f last time.

A trappy finale in which a case can be made for most. GENOAH brings an unexposed profile to his handicap debut and is taken to add to November's C&D maiden success. Autocrat had plenty to spare here last time and is feared most ahead of Church Mountain, who was only seventh over 1½m last time but had won back to back over C&D prior to that.

C&D winner GENOAH is potentially the most progressive runner. He makes his handicap debut with the form of his maiden win endorsed

1	4 1st (4) (13/2 +54%) Advancing		6.5 13/2(+54%)																															(4) Advancing 13/2, 80,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Half-brother to 1½m winner Muktamil. Dam unraced out of useful close relative to Oaks runners-up Quarter Moon and Yesterday. One to monitor closely in the betting. 80,000gns yearling; by Lope De Vega and from a good family; check the betting.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/11 -9%) Modern Day		0.909091 10/11(-9%)																															(8) Modern Day 10/11, Dark Angel gelding. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Courageous Knight. It's always slightly concerning to see a newcomer equipped with a hood but this one is otherwise very appealing on paper. Watch the betting for clues. Already gelded and wears hood on debut but market support should be heeded.
3	11 3rd (11) (125/1 -89%) Soy Loco		125 125/1(-89%)																															(11) Soy Loco 125/1, Once-raced colt. Fifth of 9 in maiden at this C&D (22/1) on debut 14 days ago. Others preferred. Seemed in need of the outing/experience in C&D maiden.
4	9 4th (9) (5/1 +0%) Political Power		5 5/1(+0%)																															(9) Political Power 5/1, Fair gelding. 18/1, first run since leaving Adrian Murray when good second of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 12 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and hood on 1st time. Solid each-way chance. Good second at Newcastle on debut for new stable; one of the main players.
5th	10 5th (10) (7/2 +56%) Shipshape		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(10) Shipshape 7/2, Twice-raced colt. 7/2, fourth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 26 days ago. Will need to raise his game in order to play a leading role in this contest. Similar type to Final Night and has possibilities provided he improves further.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 +24%) Final Night		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Final Night 25/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 8 in maiden at this course (7f, 200/1) 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Likely he will come into his own when handicapping in due course. Ran promisingly here last time; possibilities with further progress plausible.
7th	12 7th (12) (16/1 +0%) Zarakerjack		16 16/1(+0%)																															(12) Zarakerjack 16/1, €40,000 2-y-o, Zarak colt. Dam ran twice out of half-sister to Pretty Polly Stakes winner Hanami. Worth a second look in the betting. Newcomer by Zarak; market instructive.
8th	3 8th (3) (250/1 -279%) Lovely Jubly		250 250/1(-279%)																															(3) Lovely Jubly 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 9 in maiden at this C&D (25/1) 14 days ago. Improvement needed. Modest fourth here last time; handicaps more suitable shortly.
9th	2 9th (2) (300/1 -200%) The Cooleen		300 300/1(-200%)																															(2) The Cooleen 300/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Sixth of 9 in maiden at this C&D (200/1) 14 days ago, missing break. Readily passed over. Modest maiden hurdler who has failed to land a blow in two Flat races.
10th	7 10th (7) (12/1 -300%) Megalithic		12 12/1(-300%)																															(7) Megalithic 12/1, Fairly useful gelding. Blinkered for 1st time, good third of 11 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, soft, 10/1) when last seen in October. Since left Ralph Beckett and headgear discarded. Claims if taking to this surface. Leading player on the pick of his turf form last year for Ralph Beckett.
11th	1 11th (1) (300/1 -200%) Guinness Lad		300 300/1(-200%)																															(1) Guinness Lad 300/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 54 days ago. Probably best watched on Flat debut. Flat debutant who has poor claims on bumper/hurdles form.
12th	6 12th (6) (200/1 -300%) Jack Langley		200 200/1(-300%)																															(6) Jack Langley 200/1, Time Test gelding. Brother to 1¼m-14.2f winner Granite Bay. Dam 11f-12.3f winner. Yard is not a regular source of winning newcomers and this one will likely come on for the run. Pedigree suggests he'll find this trip inadequate on debut.

Megalithic produced a consistent level of form last season and he's unlikely to be far away if running to his current mark of 78, but the vote goes to POLITICAL POWER. The son of Wooded posted a couple of solid performances for Adrian Murray as a juvenile before finishing a creditable second on his stable debut last month. Connections reach for a hood today and, if allowing him to settle better, he ought to go very close. Charlie Appleby often does well with his debutants around here but although Modern Day merits respect, it is a slight concern that he sports a hood having also been gelded.

Newcomer MODERN DAY makes obvious appeal on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Megalithic will be a threat if fully-tuned up following a break and he is next on the list ahead of Political Power. Advancing and Zarakerjack are other debutants to note in the betting.

Newcastle runner-up POLITICAL POWER is taken to go one better. Megalithic is the chief danger on form.

1	5 1st (5) (7/2 -75%) Gaiety Musical		3.5 7/2(-75%)																															(5) Gaiety Musical 7/2, Back up in trip, off the mark at this C&D in January and followed up when making all in 5-runner handicap (11/10) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. Can make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Two from two since racing in handicaps at about 1m; may improve further; respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (25/1 -456%) Lady Flora		25 25/1(-456%)																															(1) Lady Flora 25/1, Found some improvement when opening her account at Chepstow (8.1f) last summer. Below form eighth of 12 in handicap at the same C&D (good, 7/2) when last seen in August, but she returns with her yard going well. Disappointing when last seen; steadily progressive otherwise and not written off.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/4 +64%) Unassuming		1.25 5/4(+64%)																															(2) Unassuming 5/4, Won twice at Southwell last year and good second there in November. Looked unsuited by step back up in trip when sixth of 12 in handicap (10/1) at Lingfield (10f) 25 days ago, so she could resume her progress. Outstayed over 1m2f last time; has form figures of 112 in 1m handicaps; big player.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 +0%) More Than A Feelin		5 5/1(+0%)																															(4) More Than A Feelin 5/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year, including at this C&D. Only third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 6/4) 60 days ago, though seemed stretched by the longer distance. Can get back on track. Record of 1211 in AW handicaps at about 1m; possibilities back down in trip.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +13%) Forever Proud		14 14/1(+13%)																															(6) Forever Proud 14/1, Gained a fourth win this winter when successful here (7f) in January. Not in the same form, though, when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, 7/2) 10 days ago. Visor now replaces the cheekpieces. Productive in lower grades this winter; goes into the unknown at this level.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 +36%) Radiant Beauty		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(3) Radiant Beauty 9/2, C&D winner on third start and doubled her tally at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January. However, needs to bounce back after a lesser effort when ninth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton 25 days ago. Disappointing last time but her AW record suggests a rebound is likely; 1-1 here.

Gaiety Musical arrives having notched up a brace of successes, the latest coming at Wolverhampton, and she merits the utmost respect from 4lb higher. However, the vote goes to MORE THAN A FEELIN, who was chasing a hat-trick of her own when finishing third over an extended 1m1f at the Dunstall Park venue in December. Alice Haynes' charge looks certain to benefit from a drop in trip, so it would come as no surprise were she to make an immediate return to the winner's enclosure. Unassuming is also noted.

UNASSUMING ended last year with a good second behind a next-time-out listed winner at Southwell, before shaping better than the result at Lingfield on her latest outing, so she is taken to get back to winning ways returned to this shorter trip. She can get the better of the hat-trick seeking Gaiety Musical, while More Than A Feelin could also be in the mix.

Most of the runners could still have further progress in them. The percentage call goes to GAIETY MUSICAL, ahead of Unassuming.

1	2 1st (2) (22/1 +0%) Golden Mind		22 22/1(+0%)																															(2) Golden Mind 22/1, 12/1, disappointing last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 37 days ago. Has a tongue strap added on the back of that. Also makes polytrack debut. Fighting chance off current mark provided he's helped by first-time tongue-tie.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 -150%) Heathcliff		5 5/1(-150%)																															(8) Heathcliff 5/1, Promising type. Course winner. Four wins from 7 runs last year. Promising return from a 10-week break when fourth of 14 in handicap (6/1) at Newcastle (6f) 26 days ago, finishing with running left. Open to further improvement. Form figures of 1311214 (mostly at Kempton) since handicapping; solid claims back here.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 +39%) Rosario		11 11/1(+39%)																															(3) Rosario 11/1, 22/1, good fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 32 days ago, making late headway from a less than ideal track position. Remains relatively unexposed. Clear signs of a revival when close fifth, despite wide trip, at Chelmsford last time.
4	10 4th (10) (17/2 +15%) Tiger Crusade		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(10) Tiger Crusade 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 3/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 12 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Recent form includes a Class 4 win; hasn't scored at this level for two years.
5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +17%) Aramis Grey		5 5/1(+17%)																															(4) Aramis Grey 5/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Good neck second of 10 in C&D handicap 56 days ago. Previously trained by Rae Guest. One to consider. Consistent for Rae Guest; thereabouts provided she remains in same form for new stable.
6th	9 6th (9) (15/2 0%) King's Lynn		7.5 15/2(0%)																															(9) King's Lynn 15/2, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. 11/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Stable in great form. Behind some of these opponents on penultimate outing; long losing run continues.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -150%) Fivethousandtoone		40 40/1(-150%)																															(1) Fivethousandtoone 40/1, Improved for the application of a visor when landing back-to-back AW handicaps for Andrew Balding at the start of 2024, including this race. Not so good on turf at the end of the summer and will need a career best to defy his triple-figure AW mark on first outing for Tim Easterby. Won this race 12 months ago and followed up at Newcastle on AW finals day; new yard.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/3 +17%) Cajetan		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(7) Cajetan 10/3, Won 3 of his 4 AW starts in 2024 (including C&D), posting a big career best when 5-length winner at Newcastle in December. Had an excuse when only eighth of 14 back there last month and remains one to be interested in. Record of 3-5 on AW; encountered major traffic issues last time; remains of interest.
9th	5 9th (5) (17/2 +15%) Coachello		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(5) Coachello 17/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 26 days ago, not ideally placed. Record of 5-12 on AW; ties in with some of these rivals on Newcastle running last month.
10th	6 10th (6) (18/1 -64%) Sommelier		18 18/1(-64%)																															(6) Sommelier 18/1, C&D winner but ended 2024 with a couple of disappointing efforts. Has a tongue tie added in his bid to bounce back to form. Useful; good chance off current mark provided he's aided by first-time tongue-tie.

Dual C&D winner ARAMIS GREY returned from a near three-month absence to finish a narrow second over track and trip in December. The mare has since moved to Jack Jones and, from an unchanged rating, ought to hold every chance of making a winning stable debut. Heathcliff would have finished closer at Newcastle last time out were it not for traffic problems. He remains in fine fettle though and is of considerable interest, while others to note include King's Lynn and Coachello.

A useful contest. HEATHCLIFF is an AW handicapper on the up and can build on his encouraging Newcastle reappearance. Cajetan, another with a strong AW record, wasn't seen to best effect behind the selection in that Newcastle race and is second choice ahead of Aramis Grey.

With better luck CAJETAN might have gone close at Newcastle last time and he is first choice ahead of Heathcliff.

2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 +40%) Aim For The Moon		12 12/1(+40%)																															(7) Aim For The Moon 12/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 65 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. Needs to break better than last time if she's to play a part in this deeper race.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +25%) Upepo		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(3) Upepo 9/2, All 4 wins at Lingfield, the latest over 1½m in December. Better than result when sixth of 12 over 2m there since, making late headway from too far back. Considered. Highly likely still in top form despite managing only sixth last time; chance.
4	10 4th (10) (11/1 -100%) Media Mogul		11 11/1(-100%)																															(10) Media Mogul 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in maiden (100/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. Potential improver and very interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Market informative up in trip for handicap debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 -27%) Risen Again		7 7/1(-27%)																															(5) Risen Again 7/1, Best run since joining Alice Haynes when third of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (11f) 28 days ago. Respected. Close third when upped to 1m3f four weeks ago; place claims again.
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 -144%) Eton Blue		22 22/1(-144%)																															(4) Eton Blue 22/1, 25/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m) 21 days ago. Others have achieved more. Good bit more is needed if he's to open his AW account.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/1 +31%) Turner Girl		11 11/1(+31%)																															(6) Turner Girl 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m, 12/1) 11 days ago. Visor back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Backed out of contention rather quickly the last twice; others preferred.
8th	11 8th (11) (33/1 -65%) Toby Tops		33 33/1(-65%)																															(11) Toby Tops 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap and cheekpieces on first time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 11 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Can only watch after again managing only sixth (of seven) on handicap debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (9/4 +44%) Spectacular Style		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(8) Spectacular Style 9/4, Well backed but never threatened after a slow start at Wolverhampton (1½m) 11 days ago, taking his handicap record to 0-8. Bounce back needed. Bitterly disappointing 2-1 favourite when behind Turner Girl 11 days ago; can only watch.
10th	12 10th (12) (50/1 -52%) The Pug		50 50/1(-52%)																															(12) The Pug 50/1, Unreliable type. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 9 in handicap at this course (1m, 18/1) 21 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Much safer elsewhere particularly as headgear is still missing.
11th	9 11th (9) (14/1 +58%) Capstan		14 14/1(+58%)																															(9) Capstan 14/1, Course winner. Three wins from 6 runs last year. 16/1, last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (2m) 40 days ago. Back down in trip. Polytrack hat-trick this time last year but weak finisher over 2m/over hurdles of late.
12th	1 12th (1) (8/1 -33%) Sonnerie Power		8 8/1(-33%)																															(1) Sonnerie Power 8/1, C&D winner. Tongue strap on first time, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (1¼m) 27 days ago, not knocked about. Losing run mounting up but this is the first time he's tackled a 0-70. Drops to a 0-68 and returns to his optimum trip so could do much better than of late.

Buxted Too and Sonnerie Power are weighted to get competitive despite being at the top end of the handicap, while Eton Blue and Aim For The Moon could force their way into contention in this company. However, having won over this trip off 3lb lower at Lingfield on his penultimate start, UPEPO looks the type who could bounce back after finding himself having too much to do when tried over 2m at the same venue last time out.

RISEN AGAIN seems to be getting his act together for Alice Haynes now and is given a chance to build on his good third at Southwell 4 weeks ago. Upepo has done all his winning at Lingfield but is still feared most ahead of Ed Walker handicap newcomer Media Mogul.

Off a reduced mark back over his optimum trip, SONNERIE POWER (nap) can gain an overdue first success for current connections.

More to come from him. Swept past the whole field to win at Newcastle; well handicapped off 3lb higher.

A 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. After a second here he won comfortably at Wolverhampton; back up 6lb.

Had a wide trip last time at Lingfield; better expected and she has form here.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +17%) Stacey Racey		5 5/1(+17%)																															(3) Stacey Racey 5/1, C&D winner in September. 13/8, respectable fourth of 14 in C&D handicap when last seen in October. Thereabouts if returning from a 4-month break in similar form. Usually gives her running at this track and well drawn to get a good position.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -57%) Zaman Daar		11 11/1(-57%)																															(1) Zaman Daar 11/1, Turf winner last summer. 4/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 9 days ago, nearest finish after another slowish start. Needs to break on terms. Not had the breaks of late, though slow starts haven't been helping his cause.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -43%) The Cola Kid		20 20/1(-43%)																															(6) The Cola Kid 20/1, C&D winner. 7/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July. Off since. Capable at this level but finished lame last time and has had a while off the track.
8th	8 8th (8) (100/1 -150%) Reel Power		100 100/1(-150%)																															(8) Reel Power 100/1, Third over 1m here in November but 2 poor runs have followed. Lingfield (7f) 19 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival. Tailed off in three of his four runs for this yard but did hit the frame here in November.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -100%) Blue Collar Lad		50 50/1(-100%)																															(7) Blue Collar Lad 50/1, Latest win at Chelmsford (6f) in September. Reached the frame on next 2 outings but has recorded a couple of disappointing runs this winter. Has been disappointing on either side of a break in his last two races.

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX was only just denied by an in-form rival over C&D on his penultimate start but quickly made amends for that narrow defeat when routing the opposition at Wolverhampton last month. A 6lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the John Butler-trained five-year-old from following up back here. Our Dagger returned from a break with a cosy win at Newcastle 12 days ago and is feared most off just 3lb higher. The Cola Kid and Stacey Racey are interesting each-way options to consider.

OUR DAGGER needed to show a good turn of foot to come from last to first at Newcastle recently and can defy a 3 lb rise and make it 2-2 for new handler Daragh Bourke. South Dakota Sioux ran out an easy winner at Wolverhampton last month and looks the obvious danger. Stacey Racey may prove best of the remainder if fully primed after 4 months off.

There was much to like about how OUR DAGGER circled his field at Newcastle and he looks well in off just 3lb higher.

The well-handicapped KONDRATIEV WAVE, who is a previous course winner, is generally dependable at this level and his proven reliability earns him the vote in a race lacking depth. Split Elevens is a multiple winner on the all-weather and cannot be ruled out from gaining a first success at this venue in this modest company. Fact Or Fable and Irrelevant have reasonable enough chances and enter the reckoning from a place perspective at least.

The obvious one is KONDRATIEV WAVE, who was only just denied off this mark at Lingfield 10 days ago. Split Elevens was given a hopeless task at Wolverhampton last time and remains of interest, while Beveragino made a respectable start for this yard at Southwell 6 weeks ago.

John Butler's SPLIT ELEVENS gave the first three a head start when a closing fourth at Wolverhampton last time.

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.
