Class & Speed Card

Big Sip was a bit costly to follow last season, but nevertheless showed plenty of promise and he has been gelded since finishing midfield in a 100k race at York. His two previous all-weather outings have resulted in Kempton seconds but he lacks the recent match practice of I'LL GIVE IT A GO, who offered considerable encouragement when finding only an experienced favourite too strong on debut at Southwell. Absolutely Not made a satisfactory return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines and is another to consider.

This may develop into a straight fight between promising pair BIG SIP and I'll Give It A Go, with preference for Andrew Balding's charge.

This can go to BIG SIP who showed useful form in four starts last year and can make a successful return from five months off.
Class & Speed Card

Collingham has the ability to go well in a race of this nature but his lack of a recent run just gives the edge to HONNEUR D'AJONC. James Owen's gelding was a well-held third in handicap company last time, but the drop in grade and application of a visor could see a much-improved effort here. Matchless is another who makes the shortlist.

There's not much to separate HONNEUR D'AJONC, Collingham and Matchless in this opening claimer. The first-named has Callum Pritchard taking a handy 5 lb off and gets the nod in the hope that a change of headgear gives him a bit extra.

The tentative selection is COLLINGHAM who would win this with ease if close to his best. The second choice is Honneur d'Ajonc.
Class & Speed Card

The penny dropped late for LUNANOVA on her course introduction and she finished her race off to good effect to make the frame. The winner has gone in again since, so the form is solid, and Amanda Perrett's filly can make it second-time lucky. Lightening Mann acquitted himself quite well in a decent Doncaster event last summer and has been gelded since. The biggest threat, though, could come in the shape of Monty Beau, who belatedly tastes competitive action for the first time but appeals on pedigree.

The returning LIGHTENING MANN gets the vote with the Jack Channon stable among the winners. This is a rather belated debut for Monty Beau but Hugo Palmer's charge would rate a danger if the betting suggests he's fancied. Course debut third Lunanova completes the shortlist.

The choice is LUNANOVA who showed enough when third on debut here in December to suggest that a race like this was within her reach.
Class & Speed Card

MAGICAL ANNIE took a big step forwards when getting off the mark over hurdles at Wetherby last month and the six-year-old is the one to beat on that evidence, despite a 7lb penalty. Assorda won on her final start in France earlier this year and has to be of some interest on her UK debut, while Uokhun is the pick of the remainder.

MAGICAL ANNIE should have more to come on the back of her Wetherby success and is preferred to Paula Smith's French recruit Assorda.

Having won at Wetherby in February on her second hurdle start, MAGICAL ANNIE can defy a penalty and follow up.
Class & Speed Card

A wide draw and drop in distance didn't see Rosenpur to best effect when finishing last over 5f at Wolverhampton recently, but there is a suspicion that the five-year-old still has more to offer. Regardless, WATERMELON SUGAR arrives on the back of a ready triumph over C&D and a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent Chelsea Banham's inmate from following up. Harry Brown is the pick of the remainder.

ROSENPUR had a ready excuse last time and can land a third win of 2025 with Warren Fentiman taking a useful 7 lb off. Last month's C&D scorer Watermelon Sugar is feared most.

This can go to WATERMELON SUGAR who won in good style here last month. A 6lb rise may not stop him from making it 3-3 over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

TREATY BOY appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over C&D eight days ago and even a 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop the son of Well Chosen from following up. Ensel Du Perche failed to fire last time but is a player based on his track-and-trip victory the time before. Cases can be made for Beny Nahar Road and McGrath From Clune, but the former is the pick of the pair.

An excellent opportunity for TREATY BOY to follow up under a penalty at a track that evidently suits. Beny Nahar Road is selected for the forecast.

Catterick brings out the best in TREATY BOY, who won comfortably over C&D last week, and he can defy a 7lb penalty.
Class & Speed Card

Although thwarted in her hat-trick bid when finishing fourth in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket last July, BOUNTIFUL lost little in defeat and she makes grand appeal on her all-weather/seasonal debut. George Boughey's filly is a potential improver stepping up in trip and she edges the vote over Rebel's Gamble. The son of Dark Angel boasts a recent run and he warrants respect on the back of that solid second at Southwell. Rajeko and Dance In The Storm are noted too.

REBEL'S GAMBLE has come a long way in a short time and can take the step up to listed level in his stride now tackling 7f for the first time. Bountiful will be a danger if replicating the form of her Group 2 fourth when last seen in July. Rajeko looks best of the rest.

The choice is RAJEKO who made a pleasing return when second in a Local Group 2 in Qatar last month. He can take another step forward.
Class & Speed Card

EDGEWELL supplemented his Southwell triumph when scoring with something in hand at Fakenham 19 days ago. Although Rebecca Menzies' charge is a further 6lb higher in the ratings, he still looks ahead of the handicapper and a hat-trick may beckon. The biggest threat may emerge from Hostile Hotelier, who showed a bit more when runner-up at Musselburgh last month. Ridin Solo is also noted.

There's plenty of hope in RIDIN SOLO's pedigree that he'll stay the longer trip, so Donald McCain's consistent 8-y-o is taken to follow up his Sedgefield maiden win back in handicap company. Hostile Hotelier and Edgewell both arrive in top form also and are obvious threats.

This is all about EDGEWELL (nap) who has taken off on his last two starts. The consistent Hostile Hotelier is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Kitaro Kich relished a return to this 7f distance when scoring with something in hand at Chelmsford six days ago. However, a quick turnaround and a 5lb penalty does demand more from the five-year-old and SPLIT ELEVENS is marginally preferred. John Butler's inmate arrives on the back of a victory at Kempton and a mere 2lb rise looks lenient. Portoro, Kondratiev Wave and Runaround Sioux all warrant respect as well.

KITARO KICH arrives at the top of his game and is taken to secure his third victory of the year. Runaround Sioux and Split Elevens may provide the chief threat.

The vote goes to KITARO KICH who appeared to score with plenty in hand at Chelmsford recently and can make light of his 5lb penalty.
Class & Speed Card

This looks a trappy affair so only a tentative vote goes to ONE HORSE TOWN. Harry Derham's gelding stayed on into third over 1m3f here last week and, with his stamina drawn out further, he gets the vote to score. Nobleman was runner-up behind a potentially useful colt over 1m3f at Southwell and he could emerge as the main danger now stepping up in trip. Of the newcomers, Cracksman filly Rommie The Miracle is respected most.

ONE HORSE TOWN improved for the step up in trip when third on his handicap bow here last week and looks the one to beat back in a maiden. La Trinite caught the eye when third on debut here and is another to consider along with Nobleman, who's open to further improvement.

It's hard to get away from ONE HORSE TOWN, who sets the standard on his third here last week and is open to more progress.
Class & Speed Card

A return to 3m proved just the tonic for last month's Musselburgh winner Evenwood Sonofagun and a 3lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, this extended 2m3f distance may not suit the seven-year-old and it could be worth taking a punt on REHILL RELIC. Sam Allwood's charge hasn't proved the most consistent this season, but he lurks on a dangerous mark and first-time cheekpieces may spark his interest. Lahire and Born In The West are noted too.

BORN IN THE WEST has upped his game in recent starts and remains relatively low mileage. He can open his account. Lahire and Evenwood Sonofagun should also go well.

Preference is for BORN IN THE WEST who has been runner-up on his last two starts. Lahire boasts a similar profile.
Class & Speed Card

Coolagh Magic has to be of interest following his C&D win last month but a 5lb rise just gives the edge to ECCLESIASTICAL. The eight-year-old was only beaten a head into second over 5f at Wolverhampton recently and, off the same mark, he could go one better here. Others who make the shortlist are Mick's Spirit, Recon Mission and Unavailable.

Preference is for the pacey UNAVAILABLE, who has bagged the plum draw against the rail and will benefit from the reapplication of a tongue strap. Ecclesiastical and Coolagh Magic are feared most.

This can go to COOLAGH MAGIC (nap) who is thriving just now and another 5lb rise may not stop him from making it 3-3 over C&D.
Class & Speed Card

Richard Hughes has his string in decent form at present and THE THAMES LADY gets the nod. She improved for a switch to handicaps when scoring cosily at Lingfield last month and could prove tough to stop off 4lb higher. Blue Anthem shaped as if he will be suited by a return to this distance when letting down favourite-backers over a mile at Southwell and is respected off just 3lb higher than his previous winning mark. Toughly enters the equation too.

TOUGHLY confirmed debut promise despite still showing signs of greenness when scoring at Southwell and an opening mark of 70 may underestimate her. The Thames Lady took a big step forward when making a winning handicap bow at Lingfield and is the obvious threat, with Blue Anthem best of the others back down in trip.

Ollie Sangster's TOUGHLY overcame greenness to score at Southwell and looks to have a fair bit more to offer on her handicap debut here.
Class & Speed Card

EVA'S OSKAR put a below-par sixth at Warwick behind him when rallying to land the spoils at Bangor last month. Tim Vaughan's veteran beat a competitive field that day and he can go in again. Presentandcounting was somewhat underwhelming at Fakenham 19 days ago, but a return to the scene of his last triumph may help. The son of Presenting shouldn't be far away, with Ask A Honey Bee the pick of the remainder.

EVA'S OSKAR left his comeback behind when winning a similar event at Bangor and this likeable sort could well take another step forward. The obvious threat is Presentandcounting, who disappointed on his hunter debut at Fakenham but rates a big player on the pick of this season's efforts.

None of these have rock-solid credentials and a chance is taken on DIDERO VALLIS, who ran okay last time and seems to like it here.
Class & Speed Card

Sonic Pioneer made a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton recently and may still have more to offer. That said, a 6lb penalty is a slight concern and preference is for ALL COST, who was only denied by a short head on his handicap bow at Kempton three weeks ago and the first-time application of cheekpieces may bring about further progression. Backer Bilk is another who arrives here with valid form claims.

ALL COST only narrowly failed to justify strong support at Kempton last month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod in the finale. Wolverhampton 1-2 Sonic Pioneer and Backer Bilk look the obvious dangers.

Preference is for BACKER BILK with the step back up in distance looking sure to suit. The danger to the selection could be All Cost
Class & Speed Card

TOO SWEET took a step forward on her first appearance for this stable, shaping with promise when runner-up at Chelmsford. She gets the vote to make a winning switch to handicaps at the chief expense of Blue Eclipse, who showed a game attitude when opening his account at Chelmsford and the unexposed son of Oasis Dream should go well again. Montrachet Girl is respected most out of the remainder.

MONTRACHET GIRL confirmed the promise of her stable debut when getting off the mark with a bit in hand on just her second outing in a handicap at Southwell 3 weeks ago and can defy a 3 lb rise. Maids Head is still on the upgrade judged on her close third at Southwell in November so is feared most.

Stylish Southwell winner MONTRACHET GIRL has taken her form up a level since joining Roger Varian and can make light of a 3lb rise here.
Class & Speed Card

A creditable second at Lingfield on her third career outing, NAUGHTY EYES could be well treated off a mark of 75 on her handicap debut and she can regain the winning thread. This Farh got off the mark with a taking success at the same track last month and he must enter calculations, along with Political Power, who has been runner-up on two of his last three starts.

INVINCIBLE MELODY found some improvement when just denied in this headgear at Wolverhampton and this well-bred sort should be up to winning a race of this nature. Lady Manzor quickly settled matters once organised in a novice at Lingfield and she rates the main threat ahead of This Farh.

Ralph Beckett's INVINCIBLE MELODY took a step forward on his handicap debut when runner-up at Wolverhampton and can go one better here.
Class & Speed Card

Now in the care of Jim Boyle after scoring at Lingfield in December, ERNIE'S VALENTINE is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up off 3lb higher for a third course success. Starshiba has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than his last win and he is a key player. City Cyclone has run with credit since a pair of victories at Wolverhampton in January and rounds out the shortlist.

A chance is taken on LESSAY, who's certainly capable from this mark if things drop right for him. City Cyclone should give another good account, while Ernie's Valentine remains well treated on old form now setting out for another new yard.

Preference is for CITY CYCLONE. who won twice over 7f last month and looks interesting on this step back up in trip.
Class & Speed Card

VINCE LOMBARDI has switched yards since finishing runner-up at Lingfield shortly before Christmas and he can strike on the drop in class off a mark 2lb lower than his last success. A shade unlucky when short of room and eventually finishing third at Chelmsford, Enpassant is likely to be thereabouts, as is Ben Y Bryn, who bounced back to form with a highly encouraging second over 6f at Southwell.

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for ENPASSANT, who won over C&D last month and ran respectably in his follow-up bid when third at Chelmsford 17 days later. Tea Sea was unable to land the 4-timer at Wolverhampton but he remains of interest with the blinkers back on, with Ben Y Bryn and the stable-switching Vince Lombardi taken to fight out third.

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to the lightly raced 4yo PORT ROAD, who didn't get any luck over C&D last time.
Class & Speed Card

MR BALOO is 2-5 at this track and 1-1 over C&D, so makes plenty of appeal on the back of a close-up Chelmsford second and a Southwell success. Richard Hannon's colt is in great nick and will likely prove popular, likewise the unexposed Patch's Bond, who also struck on his sole previous attempt over track and trip. Tadreeb has won three of his four starts since joining Rod Millman, and the returning He's Got Game is another to bear in mind.

MR BALOO showed a gutsy attitude to get back to winning ways at Southwell 11 days ago and, nudged up just 2 lb, Richard Hannon's colt gets the nod to go in again at the expense of Patch's Bond, who is less exposed than all of these and took a big step forward making his handicap debut at Lingfield just under 6 weeks ago. More Than A Feelin and Tadreeb round off the shortlist.

Preference is for PATCH'S BOND, who went very close on his handicap debut at Lingfield and is open to more progress back in trip.
Class & Speed Card

The fitting of a tongue-tie has really helped Rebel Empire over the winter months (3-5) and another bold showing looks assured. However, slight preference is for SHALLOW, who made an eyecatching debut here in September 2023 and has improved no end since, racking up four wins from six starts, including two over this C&D. She might have more improvement in her than Richard Hannon's gelding and can complete the hat-trick. Keep an eye on Supreme King too.

SUPREME KING ran up to his best when narrowly denied at this C&D 2 weeks ago, coming from a lot further back than the winner, so he could be ready to open his account for the year. He is taken to reverse the placings with Shallow from when the pair met last time, while Ultramarine helps to give David Evans a strong hand.

Top of the list is SHALLOW (nap), who made it 4-7 when making all to complete a C&D double last time. Rebel Empire is feared most.
Class & Speed Card

A winner at Hamilton last July, VICTORY SHOUT has since moved to Anthony Charlton's yard and, following a lacklustre attempt over hurdles at Cheltenham, he got back on track reverting to the Flat at Southwell when outrunning huge odds to finish second behind a progressive Roger Varian inmate. It is interesting that Hollie Doyle keeps the partnership intact and connections reach for first-time cheekpieces, so it might be worth giving the Frankel colt another chance. The unexposed Almosh'her will no doubt prove popular and confirmed the promise of his debut Southwell success when narrowly denied over 1m3f here. He joins Buxted Too on the shortlist.

ALMOSH'HER has made a promising start to his career, winning at Southwell on debut before sticking to his task well when runner-up at this course last time, so he is taken to double his tally with further improvement to come. Buxted Too won with something in hand over C&D on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Victory Shout.

Preference is for ALMOSH'HER, who had a win and near-miss in his two novice events and is open to more progress on handicap debut.

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.
