(5) Artisan Dancer 11/8, Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in January. 5/2, close fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 5 days ago, proving vulnerable only late on having made a big move around the outside. Will continue to give a good account.
Went close at Lingfield on Sunday and he has a record of 22232 at this track; key player.

13:32 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ARTISAN DANCER has been kept busy over the last few months and his admirable reliability could be rewarded now Jason Hart returns to the saddle in a bid to revive a previous winning partnership. Hart is 1-3 aboard Charlie Johnston's four-year-old and his familiarity with this habitual closer rates a key factor, with race tactics likely to be crucial in a field of this size. Captain Kane is feared most on his return, while Melakaz is also respected, despite a below-par effort over 2m latest.

Claims can be made for all 5 with the vote going to AQWAAM, who shaped as if still in top form over this C&D 3 weeks ago. Artisan Dancer also shaped better than the bare result when a close fourth at Lingfield on Sunday and is next best.

The most striking contender is ARTISAN DANCER, who went close at Lingfield on Sunday and has form figures of 222232 at this track.

1st (1) Georgi Girl (11/10 +45%)
Georgi Girl

11/10(+45%)
(1) Georgi Girl 11/10, Gained valuable experience in junior hurdles last season and doubled his tally with a bloodless 19-length success at Sandown (16f, heavy) a fortnight ago. Has scope for better still, so she may well take some stopping especially if any rain falls.
Easily justified favouritism at Sandown two weeks ago; could well improve further.

Amelia's Dance

11/4(+66%)
(4) Amelia's Dance 11/4, Added to an excellent record at Taunton when winning in December 2022. Lost her way last spring but back on song of late, runner-up in 3 of her last 4 starts, latest when beaten 16 lengths by a well-treated rival at Newbury just under 6 weeks ago.
Largely consistent form this term includes a close second here in November.

Mucuna

14/1(-75%)
(3) Mucuna 14/1, Just a modest Flat winner but quickly made up into a better hurdler in summer 2022, winning 4 juveniles. Shaped as if retaining ability in that sphere back from 18 months off at Newbury in December and similar comments applied for her recent spin on the all-weather last month.
Record suggests she'll be more interesting when back on good ground.

(2) On My Command 28/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles for Harry Fry but following another yard switch, offered little sent chasing sole outing for Nicky Henderson 14 months ago. Betting should prove a useful guide returned to hurdling on debut for another new yard.
Absent for 14 months; debut for new yard; market can guide.

No No Tonic

(7) No No Tonic 11/2, Dual winner last term and put up a couple of solid placed efforts in recent months. Has never looked a 3-miler but was in trouble too far out to blame the trip alone at Wincanton on Boxing Day so she needs to leave that behind back down in distance.
Veteran who has done her winning at Wincanton; not the percentage call.
6th
6th (8) Parikarma (15/2 +25%)
Parikarma

15/2(+25%)
(8) Parikarma 15/2, Taunton novice winner (16.5f) last season who added another victory to her tally in 6-runner claiming hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) last month, not that it looked likely for most of the way. Looks one to take on back in a handicap.
Fortunate to win Leicester claimer last month; unlikely to follow up.

13:40 Kempton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

GEORGI GIRL ran out a very easy winner on her latest outing on Grand Military day at Sandown a fortnight ago and commands the utmost respect, especially with Elizabeth Gale's 8lb claim to aid her cause. Smurfette has shown promise on both hurdles outings to date and has to enter calculations making her handicap bow from the foot of the weights. Amelia's Dance and Mucuna are others to consider.

This could boil down to a match between GEORGI GIRL and Smurfette, with preference for the former having handled testing conditions with aplomb at Sandown a fortnight ago, and with plenty of rain in the forecast, she could well take some stopping. Dan Skelton's mare makes a quick switch to handicaps and she makes plenty appeal from an opening mark of 100, with Amelia's Dance seemingly best of the remainder.

Sandown scorer GEORGI GIRL could well show further progress. Smurfette and Notnowlinda give Dan Skelton an interesting hand.

Made all in a classified event last week; respected under penalty on his stable debut.

14:02 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A winner of a classified stakes over this trip at Chelmsford and competitive in handicaps since, DUE DATE is tenacious when he puts his mind to a task and can strike again from a workable rating. Monsieur Fantaisie was a close third in that aforementioned Chelmsford race and is a notable contender under a penalty on debut for the Peter Niven yard. Higher Law has to be feared after running on to finish a respectable second behind an upwardly mobile rival here.

Despite remaining a maiden HIGHER LAW again ran well when runner-up over C&D 11 days ago and a repeat from the same mark should see him bang there again. Monsieur Fantaisie ended a lengthy losing run in good style at Chelmsford recently and he's feared on debut for Peter Niven. Due Date may do best of the others.

The vote goes to MONSIEUR FANTAISIE, who put in a dominant display at Chelmsford last week. Higher Law is feared most.

(2) Masaccio 1/6, Useful bumper winner who returned from 6 months off to make a successful start over hurdles in a Chepstow maiden (19.5f, heavy) in October. Better form in defeat at Newbury since whilst seeming to have his limitations exposed. Obvious claims back in calmer waters.

14:10 Kempton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Gentle Slopes made a winning start for Nicky Henderson over 2m here last month and the Listed bumper winner should have more to offer. That said, his stamina isn't entirely assured stepping back up in trip and MASACCIO could be in place to take full advantage. Alan King's grey has achieved a solid level of form, including when fifth in the Challow at Newbury, and he may well benefit from a sounder surface. Defi Nonantais rates best of the rest.

MASACCIO has some solid form and, having been spared a hard race once held in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury, he's fancied to resume winning ways now returned to calmer waters. Gentle Slopes remains totally unexposed for Nicky Henderson and ought to prove equally as effective over this longer trip, with Thunder N Lightnin in the running for minor honours.

Eased in grade after a very respectable fifth in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury in December, MASACCIO looks the one to beat.

14:32 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Molly Gunn was seen to good effect aboard DOC SPORTELLO when she guided the veteran to a creditable second over track and trip last month, and her 7lb claim could be a very useful asset in a race of this nature. Jumira Bridge boasts winning C&D form and is a must for the shortlist at this level, while Peachey Carnehan is just 2lb higher than for his own C&D success last month and also rates a leading contender.

DOVES OF PEACE has yet to get his head in front but has returned from a short break in good order, and with the drop back in trip unlikely to inconvenience him, he looks a player with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb. Peachey Carnehan, a multiple C&D winner, including on his latest start,and Jumira Bridge head the dangers.

Top of the list is PEACHEY CARNEHAN, who recorded his eighth win at this track when scoring over C&D last month.

14:40 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ERNEST GRAY clearly benefited from his chasing debut at Wetherby in November when justifying favouritism at Southwell last month. Open to further improvement, a 5lb rise is unlikely to be an inconvenience in what appears a winnable contest on paper. Pedley Wood is unbeaten in two starts over fences, with victories at Hereford and Taunton to his name, and he has to be of interest once again. Others to note include Shot Boii and James Jet.

Cases can be made for several of these, with SCRUM DIDDLY the one who appeals most. He is 2 lb below the mark off which he was a good second in a small-field Ascot handicap on his penultimate start and, with just three runs in this sphere under his belt, he could have more to offer. Pedley Wood made it 2-2 over fences at Taunton and he's a live contender, while Godot, Midnight Centurion and Shot Boii should all have parts to play, too.

Bottom-weight PEDLEY WOOD is taken to maintain his unbeaten record over fences. Ernest Gray is second choice.

15:02 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A 2lb rise for BRIGHT's C&D victory last month looks more than workable and a double could be on the cards for Mark Loughnane's gelding. Ice Cool Harry offered more encouragement after a 165-day break when posting a fair fourth at Southwell, with a 1lb drop in the ratings likely to help. He may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Muscika, who was just pipped at Lingfield last weekend.

MUSCIKA was only just denied at Lingfield on Sunday and this 3-time C&D winner looks ready to strike again. The progressive Bright looks the obvious threat.

Bright is respected but preference is for 16-time winner MUSIKA, who was only just caught off this mark at Lingfield on Sunday.

Thunderclap

12/1(+40%)
(4) Thunderclap 12/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and made steady progress in this sphere last season, winning a Sedgefield maiden in April. Better for return when fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick 4 weeks ago and connections now opt for a step up in trip.
Not beaten far when fifth of seven at Catterick (1m7f) last month; tries a new trip today.

Found only one too good both starts since, latterly at Sandown 919.8f) 2 weeks ago. Should go well again partnered by promising young rider.

Possibly found race coming too soon back there in December and highly likely there's more to come now handicapping.

15:10 Kempton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Wot You Wearing has found only the progressive Gyllen too strong on his last two outings and Freddie Gingell's 5lb claim puts the seven-year-old on an appealing mark. However, it may be worth chancing last year's winner of this contest, SAMI BEAR. Chris Gordon's gelding has shaped better than the beaten distance this season and he may be able to capitalise now racing off his last winning rating. Handicap debutants Katate Dori and Bentley's Return also warrant a second look.

Claims can be made for plenty including BENTLEY'S RETURN who makes a quick switch to handicaps following an encouraging third in novice company at Plumpton when last seen in December and he promises to do better still at this sort of trip. Wot You Wearing is building up a most admirable record and is feared, along with Hurricane Danny. Katate Dori and last year's winner Sami Bear complete the shortlist.

Progressive 7yo WOT YOU WEARING benefits from Freddie Gingell's very useful 5lb claim here and gets the nod ahead of Katate Dori.

15:32 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 4) 8.5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

LOVEALOT BEAR defied market expectation when causing an upset on her Flat bow at Kempton. David Evans' mare did well to score from a position towards the rear, and Jordan Williams' 5lb claim can help her to record back-to-back victories. The returning Prince Maxi is interesting on his opening bid on the all-weather and he's feared most if improving on last season's sixth-placed debut at Newmarket. Sugar Hill and Silverbridge possess the ability to feature too.

PRINCE MAXI showed ability in what has turned out to be a strong Newmarket novice at the Craven meeting and he's taken to make a winning start for George Scott. Lovealot Bear defied massive odds when making a winning Flat debut at Kempton but there's no reason to doubt the form so she's next best under a penalty, while useful-hurdler Parramount warrants respect on his belated Flat bow.

The most interesting contender is PRINCE MAXI, who showed promise at Newmarket last spring and that form has worked out really well.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

FIRST LORD DE CUET lost little in defeat when finding only subsequent scorer Anglers Crag too strong at Market Rasen last month and he's effectively 2lb well-in before his revised mark kicks in. The veteran ticks plenty of the right boxes and an overdue first success over fences could be imminent. Wincanton runner-up Iconic Muddle is a potential improver now upped in distance and he must also enter calculations, along with the returning Highstakesplayer.

FIRST LORD DE CUET is one to be interested in again suddenly having pulled clear of the rest when second to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen last month. Killer Kane landed a gamble in this race last year and is an obvious threat on the back of a decent third at Newbury, while low-mileage 11-y-o Iconic Muddle made a promising comeback at Wincanton.

With useful claimer Freddie Gingell taking off 5lb, KILLER KANE (nap) looks poised to follow up last year's win.

16:00 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

There was very little to choose between INISHMOT PRINCE, Musical Tribute and Collective Power here last month in the 6f event won by Dream Today and perhaps the former can add to his impressive course record. The Tom McCourt-trained gelding appears equally effective over five or six and bids for a ninth victory at this venue. Musical Tribute outran odds of 66/1 on that occasion and could be suited by this drop down to the minimum trip on just her third Irish start. Havana Notion won over this trip at Tipperary last summer and gained reward for some consistent efforts at this venue when scoring over 6f last month.

MUSICAL TRIBUTE produced a promising effort, not least with a view to having a crack at this trip when fourth on yard debut here (6f) 3 weeks ago and she could just be worth chancing to build on that here. The admirable Inishmot Prince and Collective Power are others fancied to be in the shake up.

Though MUSICAL TRIBUTE drops to this trip for the first time, she has early speed and can overturn form with Inishmot Prince

16:07 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

WADACRE GOMEZ won a shade cosily when making all at Chelmsford last week and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent Charlie Johnston's colt from following up. Master Of Combat looked close to his best when a close-up third at Southwell recently and he is likely to be in the thick of the action once more, with a return to this distance promising to suit. Warren Hill may fare best of the rest.

Having eased a little in the weights, ARCADIAN NIGHTS found only a far less exposed sort too good on his latest outing over C&D 5 weeks ago and he could be worth siding with to build on that now. Master of Combat, Ernie's Valentine and Warren Hill head up the dangers in what rates a very competitive affair.

16:15 Kempton NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

OFF THE JURY was purchased for 170,000 euros a few days after winning between the flags in Ireland, and suggested that it could be money well spent when an eyecatching second in a Doncaster bumper. He can make it second-time lucky under Rules, although Electric Mason won't make it easy for him because his Ascot third was very encouraging. Ken Roy is a 92,000-euro half-brother to a Listed-placed hurdler in France and he is the most interesting of the newcomers.

OFF THE JURY, a point winner, caught the eye on debut at Doncaster a month ago and looks the one to be with. Ken Roy is a notable newcomer.

The pick of the runners with experience is OFF THE JURY. Ken Roy and Les's Jersey Royal are respected newcomers.

16:30 Dundalk Stakes 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

This looks a great opportunity for HARRY'S BAR to add to his 15 career wins. The selection won seven times for James Fanshawe and has recorded all eight wins for Ado McGuinness at this venue including twice in this race. The nine-year-old has built up a good association with Cian MacRedmond and this represents a significant drop in class after tackling the Group 3 Mercury Stakes last time. Tarsus caused a 66/1 shock in a sprint maiden here in December and showed that was no fluke by shaping well on both outings since. Army Of India won three times on the all-weather in the UK but has plenty to do at the weights, while Old Chicago needs to progress considerably from his debut here last week.

Last year's winner and multiple C&D winner HARRY'S BAR will find this much less demanding than his Group 3 assignment here when last seen in October and he should prove tough to beat. Tarsus comfortably rates the lead threat.

If HARRY'S BAR is back to form after his break then he should have too much for Tarsus and win this event for the third time.

16:37 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

OPTICIAN has been a revelation since joining the Shaun Lycett stable and a 3lb rise for his most recent success over C&D could prove lenient as he looks to land the hat-trick. The four-year-old is preferred to the likes of fellow C&D scorer Pysanka, as well as Optik, who arrives on a four-timer for his in-form connections. Others to note include At Liberty, Rubeus and Starfighter.

This is a strong race for the grade with several last-time-out winners, two of whom arrive on a sequence. The four-timer chasing OPTIK (who had a bit to spare last time) is marginally preferred to Optician, who bids to make it three from three for his current yard. Rubeus is also of interest.

A competitive Class 6. OPTIK (nap) is on a roll and, while it was a close call last time, he was only put into the race late on.

16:50 Kempton NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

TRADECRAFT only found one too good on his first taste of competitive action at Ascot in November and the son of Blue Bresil looks to have every chance of going one better here. The Bluesman was purchased for 200,000 pounds after finishing second on his sole start between the flags so he has to be of interest. Others to consider are Night Stalker and White Riot.

Although only third in a point, THE BLUESMAN is well bred and was acquired for £200,000, so he's a likely candidate to make a successful Rules debut having joined a top yard. Tradecraft is an obvious danger on the back of a positive start at Ascot and Andashan isn't easily dismissed.

As regards the runners with experience, TRADECRAFT and The Bluesman look best. White Riot is the pick of the newcomers.

17:00 Dundalk Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

IMPERO stayed further than this trip on the turf at Killarney last summer and is tempting on his first crack at 2m on Polytrack. He returned from a break with a fine second place over 1m4f at this track last month. Tyson Fury kept on for second behind a classy sort over an extended 10f at this venue last month. He stays 1m4f and is interesting over this extra distance. Longclaw really served it up to a 101-rated horse over C&D last month before going down by a short head. He was able to dictate at a slow pace in that small field, so the form has to be taken with a pinch of salt. He does get the trip, though, and he did battle hard in the closing stages. Given that Raving Royal is trained by Willie Mullins, she has to be given a market check as a lightly-raced sort who is making her Polytrack debut. Satono Chevalier takes a marked step up in trip after being a beaten favourite on his last couple of starts here.

LONGCLAW was only just denied by a useful sort in a minor event over C&D 3 weeks ago and is preferred to Tyson Fury and Satono Chevalier, who both have their stamina to prove.

Maybe NEXT WEEK, an eyecatcher in a 1m4f maiden last time can go in on handicap debut now stepping up to a trip he stays well.

17:07 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

This can go the way of TOPLIGHT (fourth), who may have just under a length to find with Rockley Point (second) from their most recent clash over C&D last month but Chelsea Banham's charge has won here four times, which bodes well as he bids to reverse the form. Red Walls didn't seem to be suited by dropping back to this distance at Lingfield recently, but he was an authoritative winner over 6f on his penultimate start and cannot be overlooked.

ROCKLEY POINT has been in good order for a while and, having only been denied by a neck at Newcastle a week ago, he's worth a chance to go one better. Toplight and Red Walls are the only other pair that arrive in form, so they're the main dangers.

This can go to RED WALLS, who has won three times this winter and was a creditable third in a 5f handicap at Lingfield on Sunday.

17:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Reverberation scored by just under a length when justifying favouritism over a mile here last month and he should go well off a 3lb higher rating now up in trip. However, the vote goes to PRINCE HECTOR, who was only headed inside the final furlong when finishing third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last time and could appreciate the drop in distance off the same mark to go two places better. Escobedo completes the shortlist.

It could be worth chancing ALICE KITTY, who hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late but she's now 6 lb below the mark off which she hit the target over this C&D last spring and the booking of Simon Walker is another positive factor. Reverberation is 2-2 here and remains fairly treated, so he has to be high on any shortlist, while Escobedo is best of the rest.

It may be worth taking a chance with ALICE KITTY who has dropped 6lb lower than when winning over C&D last May. Simon Walker rides.

17:30 Dundalk Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Joseph O'Brien's EMERALD ECLIPSE was backed down to favouritism for his debut over C&D in January and did little wrong in finishing well for second, beaten half a length. There should be improvement forthcoming and his stable has been firing in the winners at Dundalk. His stablemate Tranquil Steps certainly catches the eye on paper ahead of her debut. She is a half-sister to a Group 1-winning sprinter so must be checked for market strength. As the sole winner in the field, Take Me To Church has to give 6lb to all of his rivals. He sets a useful standard with a mark of 82 having won an auction maiden over a furlong shorter at this track. Willie Browne and Seamie Heffernan have a good record when teaming up together, so debutant Sir Sagacious shouldn't be disregarded. Sobriety Blue was a couple of places behind Emerald Eclipse over C&D and isn't out of it.

TAKE ME TO CHURCH didn't have to improve to beat a subsequent winner here in November and is the form pick under a penalty. Emerald Eclipse made a promising start when runner-up in a C&D maiden 2 weeks ago and is an obvious threat, while his stablemate Tranquil Steps is a newcomer to note.

Just denied in a C&D maiden on debut two weeks ago when well-backed, EMERALD ECLIPSE(nap) can go one better now.

17:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

First-time blinkers eked out the improvement needed for Something To Do to shed his maiden tag at Lingfield last time and he can go well in his double bid, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. However, preference is for FLOWERING, who finished last of the three at Kempton over 1m4f on her handicap bow last month, but she could have more to offer off a 1lb lower rating after only four starts. Dire Wolf is another to note.

LUNAR ROCKS was strong at the finish when fourth upped to a mile at Kempton recently and, with this further step up in trip a potentially good move, he could be the answer. Something To Do has improved since being gelded/switched to handicaps and, effectively 4 lb 'well-in' here, he is greatly respected. Handicap-debutante Where Is The Love is best of the rest.

A half-sister to numerous winners, LUNAR ROCKS should be suited by the longer trip again. Something To Do rates the main danger.

18:00 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

There could be another victory in HURRICANE HELEN. She made a great start to life with Christopher Timmons over C&D in December and a 6lb rise shouldn't stop her if she is in the same mood. Eyes were drawn to her a long way out when she won in December. Eighty Eight was gambled on at this track last week (10/1 in to 4/1), but just found one rival half a length too good. The horse that beat him went in again two days later to strengthen the form. He has a shot at defying his big weight as he travelled notably well last week. Ten To Ten showed significant improvement to finish third over C&D before Christmas when only collared in the closing stages. He has a tougher draw this time, but another good run is likely. Prince Of Abington and Cousin Shay are recent winners who could get into contention.

Though he's not one to set your watch by, LEABALAND failed by a whisker over C&D on his latest start in December and he is appealing on the back of that solid effort. Last-time-out winners Prince of Abington and Cousin Shay may emerge as the main dangers.

This can go the way of C&D winner LEABALAND, who was only narrowly denied by a well treated sort last time and that form has worked out

18:15 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Al Wosol and Blazes Boylan both upset the favourite to shed their maiden tags in their respective latest outings, with a slight preference for the former's victory at Wolverhampton. However, they both carry a penalty and may struggle conceding weight to MUTASAWI, who has been gelded since he was last seen and he showed more than enough in his first three starts to suggest he could take a race of this nature.

With further improvement on the cards, BLAZES BOYLAN is selected to follow up last month's C&D success. Al Wosol proved a different proposition to his debut when making a winning start for Archie Watson at Wolverhampton recently and is considered the main threat ahead of the more exposed pair Mutasawi and Macanudo.

Narrow preference is for BLAZES BOYLAN who made all to just hold off a long-odds-on shot over C&D last month.

18:30 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

This is competitive for the grade. James Ryan is an apprentice going places and his booking for HALE BOPP looks significant. This six-year-old gelding has put in late work for fourth and second in his last couple of appearances over C&D. Not much more would be needed to grab his sixth career success. Nibras Rainbow has been beaten the same distance (half a length) into second in his two most recent starts over C&D, so he is a major player. Zero Fighter ran a stormer at 40/1 when beaten by a head into second last month. He has to back it up now, but he had winning form for his previous trainer. Rock Basher ran well for a long way off the front before finishing second last month. Oisin McSweeney gets the leg-up again and he has been among the winners in Dundalk recently.

TRISHULI RIVER hasn't done much wrong since switched to the all-weather and her latest effort over this C&D a fortnight ago was eye-catching. She was behind Rock Basher that day but may well reverse those placings, provided she doesn't get caught so far back this time. Rock Basher should give another account, while Nibras Rainbow is also accorded respect.

It may be worth taking a flyer on KUDBEGOOD who has dropped down to a career-low mark and his last 2 runs have been okay

18:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success at Lingfield on Sunday, MAKE CLEAR should have plenty more improvement forthcoming, despite a 5lb penalty. This will be her first run over C&D since finishing runner-up on debut last May, and she gets the vote ahead of Cabeza De Llave and Boom Boom Pow, who has finished runner-up on three of her last four outings.

BOOM BOOM POW responded well to the fitting of a visor when finding just one too good over 6f here last month and, with this drop back to the minimum trip a potentially good move, he looks the way to go. Make Clear got the job done at Lingfield recently and she is a much-respected main danger ahead of Cabeza de Llave.

Speedy pair Make Clear and Jacquelina renew Lingfield rivalry and may set this up for hold-up performer CABEZA DE LLAVE (nap).

19:00 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Chavajod had HIGHTIMEYOUWON and Ransom close behind in the places when recording a second C&D win this winter and the handicapper hasn't been too severe with a combined rise of 10lb for those victories. Hightimeyouwon won three times for Ado McGuinness last year and having been a model of consistency here this winter, is narrowly preferred. Barbapapa recorded a second C&D win on his penultimate start and had six of these rivals behind when subsequently beating all bar Cheers Again just before Christmas. Free Solo had the selection's stablemate Exquisite Acclaim less than a length back in third when scoring over seven here last month but may not be as effective over the mile.

HIGHTIMEYOUWON finished well when runner-up to Chavajod over C&D 3 weeks ago and he's worth a chance to turn the form around despite a tricky draw in 14. Excquisite Acclaim and Free Solo, who also dominated the finish here last time, are also worthy of consideration.

This can go the way of RANSOM who has become very well treated on his form here from last winter and showed signs of a revival latest

19:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Narrowly denied over C&D in December, NOTRE DAME may be able to gain compensation on this occasion for her in-form connections. A 2lb rise could prove lenient as she looks to get the better off Southwell winner Lady In Havana and Upper Hand, who must be monitored for market support on his first run for a new stable. Bitcoin Profit gives the impression that stepping up in trip will suit.

Tough to rule out any of the septet but the vote goes to FLOATING VOTER, who possibly found a third run of the month one too many when behind Lady In Havana at Southwell 10 days ago and Ollie Sangster's gelding can double his tally with cheekpieces replacing blinkers worn last time. Notre Dame and Upper Hand are another couple also fancied to be in the shake-up.

A tight handicap can go to BITCOIN PROFIT, who's well up to winning off this mark. Lord Danielson is capable of better if settling.

19:30 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

DREAMS FLED AWAY beat Areana by three lengths over C&D last month with Glyde Ranger keeping on well into third. The Shane Crawley-trained gelding has gone up 7lb for that success but appeared to win with a bit in hand and can follow up with champion jockey Colin Keane a significant booking. John McConnell's team are back in much better form exemplified by the improved run of Arctic Blaze here last month when fourth behind Moondharrig (won again since), while Tom The Plasterer, Hi Sur Multi and Wishes And Dreams are others to consider. The latter wasn't beaten far last time when third to Golden Sandbanks and the addition of cheekpieces and Shane Foley in the saddle could eke out more improvement.

DREAMS FLED overcame some trouble in running to score comfortably over C&D last time and, while the handicapper has had his say, he's fancied to uphold the form with Areana, who is having her second start for her current yard. Tom The Plasterer is also of interest.

Last time out winner, DREAMS FLED AWAY, may be capable of going back-to-back after a 3l success here last time

Wadacre Grace

9/4(+10%)
(3) Wadacre Grace 9/4, C&D winner. Four wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win here in November. 9/4, fourth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago. Not discounted.
Back off the same mark as when winning over C&D in November; could get her own way.

11/2(+0%)
(5) Lunarscape 11/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 20/1) 16 days ago. Capable of giving another decent account, for all she seems summed up by mark at present.
On a fair mark, but 0-10 in handicaps and may not want this to be run at a crawl.

11/4(-22%)
(2) Clipsham Gold 11/4, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 10/3, fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 6 days ago. Drop back in trip rates as a plus and she's respected with cheekpieces on 1st time.
In the frame eight times in 14 starts since last win, but needs a bit more; cheekpieces on.

Smiling Sunflower

5/1(+9%)
(1) Smiling Sunflower 5/1, Last of 5 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 6/1) 31 days ago. Has slipped down the weights quickly but recent efforts have left plenty to be desired.
7lb below last winning mark and considered down in grade with Tom Marquand taking over.

Capuchinero

4/1(-33%)
(4) Capuchinero 4/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. 4/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago. Remains well treated on the pick of her form.
7f winner here in November and shaped as though worth another go at this trip last time.

19:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Running with first-time cheekpieces applied, CLIPSHAM GOLD is already a three-timer winner over this sort of trip and has a live chance at the weights, with the drop back to this distance sure to suit. Having won over this C&D off the same rating in November, Wadacre Grace is an obvious player based on peak form, while Capuchinero is a potential improver now she steps back up in distance.

A trappy contest, with the consistent CLIPSHAM GOLD fancied to gain a deserved success, the return to 1m appealing as a positive move for Dylan Cunha's mare. Wadacre Grace and Capuchinero can complete the placings.

This may become tactical and if so C&D winner WADACRE GRACE could be in the ideal position if her usual forcing tactics are employed.

Lough Leane

11/2(+15%)
(6) Lough Leane 11/2, Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f). Off 173 days. Down in trip. Pick of last season's efforts came over further and he's worth market check dropped in trip for return.
Interesting to see how he goes in market coming right down in trip after six months off.

2nd (5) H Key Lails (4/1 -100%)
H Key Lails

4/1(-100%)
(5) H Key Lails 4/1, Narrowly failed to land a gamble when second of 7 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, collared only dying strides. The one to beat if in same form this time.
Short price over C&D last Thursday, when a clear second; holds leading claims on that.

3rd (1) Give A Little Back (7/1 +30%)
Give A Little Back

7/1(+30%)
(1) Give A Little Back 7/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 10/1) 41 days ago, not ideally placed. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Generally consistent for three yards and needs a second look in first-time cheekpieces.

4th (4) Split Elevens (15/8 +32%)
Split Elevens

15/8(+32%)
(4) Split Elevens 15/8, Unreliable type. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 10/3, shaped with some encouragement when sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 26 days ago, never nearer after very slow break. Sound place claims if keeping his quirks in check.
Arrives in good form but can miss the break and does need things to pan out just so.
5th
5th (3) Flying Panther (14/1 -100%)
Flying Panther

14/1(-100%)
(3) Flying Panther 14/1, Latest win at Kempton in September but no better than mid-field in 4 starts since. Hood back on. Slipped back to last winning mark and bounce back is required.
Twice run well below market expectations for his new yard; hood going back on should help.
6th
6th (2) Sienna Breeze (11/2 +45%)
Sienna Breeze

11/2(+45%)
(2) Sienna Breeze 11/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 42 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Lucy Wadham 2,000 gns. Others preferred.
Regressed for Lucy Wadham last season but ran well all three starts here, which gives hope.

7th (7) Struck Gold (12/1 -85%)
Struck Gold

12/1(-85%)
(7) Struck Gold 12/1, Won at Wolverhampton in November before following up over C&D later same month. Looked very hard ride without headgear when fFifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on but has bit to prove after that.
Below-par here three weeks ago but gives his yard a decent hand alongside Split Elevens.

20:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

H KEY LAILS was mugged near the line over this course and distance eight days ago but looks worth another chance given he can run off the same mark (1lb well-in). Give A Little Back is an interesting one to monitor in the betting, with the first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination being a possible source of improvement. Split Elevens rates the pick of the rest.

H KEY LAILS stands out on recent efforts following last week's narrow C&D second. Split Elevens is a complicated sort but went through the remainder of his Lingfield race well enough after blowing the start last time and is rated as the biggest threat, with Give A Little Back a fair pick to complete the placings.

Support for Lough Leane would look noteworthy but otherwise H KEY LAILS has plenty in his favour after last week's near-miss here.

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.
