TIMETOSHINE has won three times on the level in France and although comprehensively beaten on her stable debut in that discipline at Lingfield last month, she appears to have been found a great opening on her NH debut. Wotter Trotter was a shade disappointing at Newbury but a repeat of his opening fourth over C&D should put him in the picture, while Guchen and Not So Sobers also bring decent hurdles form to the table.

WOTTER TROTTER wasn't up to quite a useful race at Newbury but his C&D debut prior to that was promising and he can come good back in slightly calmer waters. Guchen and Not So Sobers showed promise on their respective hurdle debuts and head the dangers along with Nicky Henderson hurdle newcomer Timetoshine.

The standard is set by WOTTER TROTTER. Ex-French Timetoshine comes from the Henderson yard and several others should be considered.

RULA BULA may have disappointed when pulled up over further at Chepstow last month, but she is better judged on her second in Listed action at Newbury in November. That form sets the standard and she may have too much for Irish raider Miss Dishy, who drops in grade having contested a Grade 3 contest at Down Royal last time. Placed on each of her last four starts, the consistent Game Colours cannot be ruled out either.

RULA BULA needs to shrug off her latest run at Chepstow 23 days ago, yet she'd previously looked a mare to keep on side, not least when posting a fairly useful effort when second in listed company. She gets the nod to bounce back, with Game Colours, who continues to shape up well, and Irish raider Miss Dishy heading up the dangers.

Assuming that heavy ground was behind RULA BULA's disappointing run last time, there's good reason to believe she can bounce back.
Class & Speed Card

THANK YOU BLUE has clearly had his jumping issues, falling in two of his last three starts, but he still held every chance when coming a cropper three out at Perth last time and his stable have been firing in the winners of late. With William Shanahan taking a valuable 5lb off his back, he gets the vote ahead of chasing newcomer Stardhem, who has placed on his last couple of hurdle starts and also represents an in-form yard. Kankin completes the shortlist.

Having edged back down in the weights, PITTSBURG ran well when third behind a chasing debutant at this C&D a fortnight ago and he could be ready to take advantage of his current mark. He is preferred to Thank You Blue, who has been showing ability over fences but could do with brushing up his jumping, while Pescatorius also enters calculations.

All of these come with some risks. STARDHEM perhaps has the most upside now switched to fences.

Not beaten too far in his attempt to complete the double at Chepstow last month, TWILIGHT GLORY can mount a bold bid here, especially if his jumping sharpens up. A comfortable scorer over an extended 2m7f at this track on his penultimate outing, the nine-year-old gets the vote ahead of Felton Bellevue, who has been placed on two of his last three outings. Racing Snake and Summer In Milan are likely to enter the reckoning as well.

TWILIGHT GLORY has returned better than ever this season, adding to his tally at this C&D before a good third at Chepstow (form boosted by the runner-up since) last month, so he is taken to resume winning ways. Racing Snake fared better than previously under Rules when third here 20 days ago and could be the main danger, ahead of Watchoutitscookie.

Tim Vaughan's TWILIGHT GLORY arrives in good form for his bid to emulate his 2023 win in this race.
Class & Speed Card

PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL has shown twice in his last four starts that he is dangerous when allowed to dictate matters and, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for last week's Newcastle success, he is fancied to dominate from the front again. If there is one to pester him it could be Tigerbythetail, who warrants plenty of respect following his first Rules victory at Catterick 10 days ago. Southwell scorer Playtogetaway will be waiting to pick up the pieces if they go too hard.

PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL quickened right away in the straight at Newcastle last week and will surely be hard to beat if turning up in similar form under a penalty. Playtogetaway is feared most ahead of Gustoso.

A winner last week, PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL is the form pick if he backs that up. It's a new trip for Playtogetaway but he is feared most.

Runner-up on both career outings thus far, including on his hurdles debut over 2m here last month, DRAYTON FLYER looks just the type to improve for going up in distance and this may be an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. Behind him last time was Blue Bellamy (third), who may well be in the mix again, while Golan Loop aims to bounce back from a disappointing effort when a short-priced favourite at Plumpton most recently.

DRAYTON FLYER has gone with some promise when runner-up on both his runs to date and is fancied to get off the mark here now stepping up in distance. Last Rodeo also has better days ahead of him and could emerge as the main danger to Olly Murphy's 6-y-o, although Golan Loop has the form to play a big part if back on his A-game. Blue Bellamy and Dark Mystery need shortlisting too.

Several have possibilities but last month's Lingfield runner-up DRAYTON FLYER gets the vote ahead of Last Rodeo and Cauvicourt.
Class & Speed Card

DIAMONDS GALORE showed promise in her three bumper starts, placing in two of them, and she now makes her hurdling debut for the Nicky Henderson team. The daughter of Diamond Boy looks to have found a suitable opportunity and could get off the mark at the first time of asking in this sphere. Betty's Tiara beat Sea Presenting (third) when she occupied the runner-up berth at Ludlow last time and she can confirm that form in order to have a say. Dramatic Encore completes the shortlist.

It was by no means a strong race PISMO BEACH was runner-up in at Warwick last month, but she shaped notably well in coming from the opposite end of the field to the winner and is taken to get off the mark with the likelihood of further improvement. Smile Back and Sea Presenting are considered the main threats.

Betty's Tiara was just ahead of SEA PRESENTING at Ludlow but the latter came from much further back.

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD arrives here on the back of a second over an extended 2m7f at this venue last month and the drop in trip could see the seven-year-old go one better, despite a 1lb rise. Mighty Moth is another with claims in first-time cheekpieces, while it's also worth keeping a close eye on Bolintlea, who placed at this track two starts ago.

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD confirmed her return to form when a rallying second over further here 3 weeks ago and she could be ready to strike from her reduced mark, with cheekpieces refitted. Bolintlea might be the danger.

This is trappy as a case can be made for all four. MIGHTY MOTH edges preference after her stamina was stretched over further last time.
Class & Speed Card

MORANDI SECOND produced a good effort when he finished second at Market Rasen earlier in the month and only has a 1lb higher rating to contend with today. Patrick Neville's six-year-old remains on a workable mark and he looks the one to beat. Dirty Den took the silver medal home at Wincanton last month and is a previous course winner to take seriously. Of the remainder, Soldier's Leap makes the most appeal.

FAR AWAY WEST found only an improving sort too good for her at Catterick last month and remains on a workable mark. She gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Soldier's Leap and Dirty Den head the list of dangers.

The pick is FAR AWAY WEST (nap) on the back of a promising first run for Dan Skelton at Catterick last month.

In a moderate event it is hard to oppose SAN PEDRO, who bounced back to form when winning over 3m1f at Plumpton 10 days ago. He does not have to carry a penalty for that success here, which leaves Chris Gordon's gelding 3lb well in. Weaver's Answer had to settle for second at Hereford most recently and may have to do so again. The rest all have questions to answer, but Tropical Speed is the pick of them.

Twice a winner over hurdles following a break, WEAVER'S ANSWER has been freshened up for this following a creditable second at Hereford in December and can land the spoils. San Pedro took this in 2023 and is interesting racing off the same mark as when making all at Plumpton 10 days ago, although he's unlikely to have it all his own way with fellow front-runner Westtara for company on this occasion. Engaging Sam has placed over C&D previously and may be able to finish in the money once again.

Most of these have something to prove but SAN PEDRO (nap) won at Plumpton last time and is now 3lb well in off the same mark.
Class & Speed Card

Next Left hasn't been seen since finishing second two starts on the bounce in October and he's an obvious contender, but today's drop in trip doesn't appear to be of benefit to him. With that in mind, preference is for FLAMELCO. Sarah Humphrey's charge hasn't always been the most consistent over fences, but he impressed when scoring over C&D from 7lb lower last month and a return to that level of performance would make him a tough nut to crack. Rumoursareflying heads the remainder.

ROYAL KING has chasing experience from his days in France and arrives on the back of a solid hurdles run here last month. He makes plenty of appeal. C&D winner Flamelco is feared most.

A chance is taken on ROYAL KING, who acquired chase experience in France and should prove suited by the return to 2m.

MISS FEDORA went in by 14 lengths in this class at Plumpton on her latest outing and a 4lb rise may prove to be on the lenient side. The six-year-old is relatively unexposed over fences and can complete the double. The main danger might be previous C&D winner Superstylin, who finished midfield over 2m4f at Huntingdon earlier in the month. This drop in trip and a 3lb lower rating could see him get closer, while Shaw's Cross is another to note.

Suzy Smith's C&D winner SUPERSTYLIN shaped as if this return to 2m would suit ideally when a strong-travelling sixth over 2m4f at Huntingdon last time so looks the way to go off a handy mark. Recent Plumpton scorer Miss Fedora rates the obvious threat with the reliable Shaw's Cross and C&D scorer Angel's Dream also in the picture.

Top of the list is MISS FEDORA who made her breakthrough over fences with a 14l win from out of the weights at Plumpton last month.

Alexandra Larose took a giant leap forward on her handicap debut last month, as she went down by a narrow margin at Leicester. A 5lb rise in the handicap shouldn't be any barrier to success and she merits respect, along with recent Market Rasen scorer Seasmoke, but the vote goes to LOVE TRUE. The five-year-old looked set to play a leading role when coming to grief two from home at Catterick recently, she was eased 1lb for her troubles and, if none the worse for that tumble, won't be far away.

ALEXANDRA LAROSE was well clear of the third when narrowly denied on her Leicester handicap debut last month and is taken to go one better now. Love True had yet to be asked for her effort when coming down 2 out at Catterick last time and is a possible threat if none the worse, while Queen of Steel has been the subject of an interesting trainer change and also merits respect.

Alexandra Larose and Love True are shortlisted but a chance is taken on QUEEN OF STEEL on her first run for Fergal O'Brien.
Class & Speed Card

Book Of Life was said to have benefitted from a step up in trip when winning over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton recently. Another bold showing is likely today, but the vote goes to ROCK ARMOUR. John Butler's charge recorded a comfortable victory over track and trip last Friday and a 5lb penalty might not be enough to prevent him from repeating the dose. Rampant is another to consider.

BOOK OF LIFE and Rock Armour readily appeal most as a pair of last-time-out winners, the former narrowly selected to come out on top with the possibility of more to come at this sort of trip. Rampant can emerge best of the remainder.

Last-time-out winners BOOK OF LIFE and Rock Armour may dominate, with the narrow preference for the former.

DOUBLE OBAN successfully completed the double in a conditional jockeys' handicap over C&D on his latest outing and is able to compete off the same rating. Olly Murphy's five-year-old could have more to offer and can continue his rise through the ranks. Through The Ages finished second behind the selection last time and it would be no surprise if he were to prove the main threat again, while Simon The Seagull is worth a second look after his third-placed effort here last month.

Hat-trick seeking DOUBLE OBAN will be racing off a 10 lb higher mark in future following his decisive win in a conditional jockeys' race over C&D 9 days ago, and he is difficult to oppose racing unpenalised. Through The Ages chased him home that day and connections may choose to revert to more positive tactics which saw this horse to good effect when winning as a juvenile hurdler. Lightly-raced Moonshine Man shaped a bit better than his latest finishing position, having help force a strong pace.

Olly Murphy's DOUBLE OBAN will be hard to beat if holding his form as he hacked up off the same mark here nine days ago.
Class & Speed Card

SUGAR BABY was able to take advantage of a sliding handicap mark when hitting the target over track and trip recently and with Alec Voikhansky's claim negating the 3lb rise incurred for that success, he should go very close again. A strong challenge could come from Show Me Show Me, who ought to benefit from a drop in trip having posted a creditable third under Ethan Tindall last time out. Doddie's Impact might not be far away either.

Having eased in the weights, SUGAR BABY found things much easier down in class when resuming winning ways over C&D 12 days ago. With his rider's claim off-setting his rise in the weights, he makes obvious appeal in his follow-up bid. Doddie's Impact and Lady Nunthorpe head up the dangers in an open-looking handicap.

This can go to SUGAR BABY, who returned to winning ways over C&D last week. He's taken to beat Show Me Show Me, who is back in trip
Class & Speed Card

SAXONIA contested a number of warm novice events last season before posting a career-best performance on his return earlier this month. The son of Saxon Warrior ought to progress with that run under his belt and may not need much improvement to land what looks a moderate affair. My Mate Beattie sets the standard with an official rating of 71 but she's beginning to look a little vulnerable. Absolutely Not hasn't been seen since making his debut at Wolverhampton last February but she might prove best of the rest.

SAXONIA proved a different proposition when a close third over C&D earlier this month and remains low mileage. He can open his account. My Mate Beattie and Absolutely Not look the likeliest dangers.

Saxonia is a player but this can go to SOVEREIGN CLASS, who has shown ability and is capable of improvement
Class & Speed Card

The hat-trick seeking Paddy's Day has to be respected but the step up in grade is a slight concern. As a result, preference is for ELEGANT ERIN, who beat a useful rival over C&D when last seen in November and the eight-year-old is only 2lb higher here. Mon Na Slieve has dropped to a mark off which he could be competitive and Kevin Ryan's inmate may improve for a recent gelding operation, while Badri is another to note.

This is wide open but BADRI got back to winning ways at Southwell last time and remains handily weighted on past exploits so edges the vote. Paddy's Day heads the list of dangers on the back of his recent C&D victory, ahead of Mon Na Slieve, Mondammej and Dark Kestrel.

The choice is MON NA SLIEVE, who has slipped in the weights and has been gelded since his last run. He ran respectably last time.
Class & Speed Card

CONCERT BOY has been in top form in recent weeks and Katie Scott's gelding sets the standard having finished second off this mark over 7f here on Saturday. Odd Socks Havana showed signs of a revival when fourth at this venue a few weeks ago and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Just Typical and Urban Dandy.

CONCERT BOY can take full advantage of Warren Fentiman's 7 lb claim and land a third course win of 2025. Odd Socks Havana knows where the winning post is over this C&D and is next on the list ahead of Urban Dandy, who went close in a classified event here last week.

With Alan Brown in tremendous form, it's worth chancing LIKEASHADOW, who has had a wind op, can return to winning ways after a break.
Class & Speed Card

MERESIDE MADNESS accounted for Tasever (second) when winning over C&D a couple of weeks ago and four-year-old could make it a double. The aforementioned Tasever has to be of interest, although a 2lb swing in the weights may not be enough to reverse the form. The rest all have questions to answer right now, but Havana Prince has the ability to run well if ready to go after a 214-day break.

Four of these contested the race in which MERESIDE MADNESS notched his third C&D victory earlier this month, and he travelled powerfully through the race in the style of a horse who might be capable of winning again. Tasever chased him home that day and may have to settle for second despite a pull at the weights, while Streak Lightning is better than he showed on that occasion.

This could be another C&D win for MERESIDE MADNESS, who turned in his best effort last time and holds several of these.
Class & Speed Card

JUST TEN HIGH did it well when scoring at Wolverhampton last time and a 3lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent him from making it three wins in his last four starts. Runner-up over C&D on his most recent start, Bellagio Man is a key player, as well as Tomorrow Day, who has not been outside the first three on each of his last four outings over track and trip.

HURSTWOOD was a close second at this venue on his penultimate run and would have gone closer with a clear passage when fifth here earlier this month. Now 3 lb lower than his last winning mark, he may be able to get his head in front with a promising claimer in the saddle. Just Ten High is in fine form and can hit the frame for the fourth race in a row, while Captain Vallo remains of interest off his current mark but needs a good gallop to be seen to best effect. Kats Bob may be a live outsider.

Kat's Bob is a player for his new team but the progressive JUST TEN HIGH (nap), who ran his best race last time, is preferred.
Class & Speed Card

REBECCA'S GIRL is in cracking form at present and dropping back in trip should not inconvenience as she looks to complete the hat-trick after success over 7f here last Saturday. Gary Rutherford's mare is 4lb well in and can see off Asadjumeirah, who was a comfortable winner over C&D on his penultimate start. Not beaten far over track and trip last time, and a capable sort on his day, King's Crown can have a say in proceedings as well.

REBECCA'S GIRL arrives at the top of her game and carries no penalty for her latest success. She can complete the hat-trick. Conquest of Power and King's Crown may give her most to think about.

The one who appeals most is the in-form REBECCA'S GIRL, who gets no penalty for winning over 7f here last time. She's effective at 6f.

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.
