14:00 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (17/2 -113%) Brickadank	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(6) Brickadank 17/2, Finally got off the mark when just holding on here (19.2f, soft) 29 days ago but not an obvious one to follow up. Record of 1-37 but his win came here (2m3f) last month; could go well again back in trip.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 -43%) Superstylin	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(3) Superstylin 5/2, Irish point winner who left hurdling form well behind when a ready scorer at Lingfield on chase bow in November. Not seen to best effect after 3 months off at Southwell (15.8f, heavy, 7/4) earlier in the month, making his effort earlier than ideal, and remains open to progress. Won on chase debut at Lingfield before a fair third at Southwell two weeks ago; respected.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/2 +70%) Texard	7.5 15/2(+70%)	(1) Texard 15/2, Fairly useful handicap chaser at best but lost his way and sold from David Pipe £7,500 in May. Well held both starts for this yard in January. Last win was in July 2022 and he's been well held in both runs for new yard this year.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +18%) Happy Du Mesnil	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(2) Happy Du Mesnil 9/2, Maiden hurdler who made mistakes and never figured on sole chase try in late 2022. Offered little back from 14 months off over hurdles at Southwell and looked a tricky ride back over fences when third at Bangor 3 weeks ago on for first outing since leaving Evan Williams. Change of headgear. Unexposed over fences and was promising third at Bangor on recent stable debut; in the mix.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 +0%) My Portia	11 11/1(+0%)	(5) My Portia 11/1, Well held in bumper/3 starts over hurdles and offered little sent chasing for handicap bow. Off 12 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Down the field in all five runs and has plenty to prove after a year off; tongue-tie added.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (5/2 +0%) Zara's Universe	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(4) Zara's Universe 5/2, Won a couple of handicap chases last spring and back on track last 2 starts, resuming winning ways with cheekpieces refitted at Southwell 16 days ago. Respected. Made it 3-9 over fences when scoring at Southwell last time; big player again up 3lb.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (16/1 +20%) Out For Justice	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Out For Justice 16/1, Poor handicap chaser nowadays who offered little after 19 months at Hereford 65 days ago. Headgear applied. 11yo who was well beaten at Hereford on his comeback in January; others have less to prove.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

ZARA'S UNIVERSE kept on well to score over 2m at Southwell 16 days ago and still has plenty of room to move off just 3lb higher. Superstylin was a respectable third in that race but was readily brushed aside by the selection in the closing stages. Therefore, the recent course winner Brickadank is suggested as a bigger threat on this occasion, with the drop back in trip potentially countering a 4lb higher mark.

SUPERSTYLIN wasn't seen to best effect when 11 lengths behind Zara's Universe at Southwell 16 days ago and is fancied to come out on top this time aided by a 4 lb swing in the weights.

Top of the list is C&D winner ZARA'S UNIVERSE, who made it 3-9 over fences when scoring at Southwell two weeks ago.

14:15 Haydock Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (4/6 +33%) Golden Maverick	0.666667 4/6(+33%)	(3) Golden Maverick 4/6, Fairly useful 5-time winner on the Flat (stays 14.5f) for Ian Williams. New connections acquired him for 100,000 gns in the autumn and promise amidst inexperience in making frame both starts over hurdles, latterly when third in a Ludlow maiden (15.7f) 4 weeks ago. Big shout with more to come. Useful Flat form and strong contender on what he's shown in two hurdle starts.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +40%) Ma Belle Artiste	12 12/1(+40%)	(5) Ma Belle Artiste 12/1, Useful 1m winner on Flat for Joseph O'Brien. Changed hands for 45,000 gns in October but not seen things out in a couple of spins in juvenile/mares' maiden hurdles in recent weeks. Exploits on the level offer hope she can do better in this sphere at some stage. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Dual Flat winner but beaten 28l (soft) and 34l (heavy) in her two hurdles.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -100%) Aire Spray	12 12/1(-100%)	(1) Aire Spray 12/1, Fair form when runner-up on second of 2 starts in bumpers. Has the size for jumping but took a heavy fall 3 out just as the race was beginning to unfold on hurdles bow at Wetherby (2m, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Hopefully none the worse and this may reveal more. Went close in a bumper and was running well when falling three out on hurdling debut.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -12%) Lord Of All Saints	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Lord Of All Saints 28/1, Didn't achieve a great deal when fourth on hurdles debut at Taunton (16.5f) in December. Overjumped and fell third back at that venue 9 days ago and low-grade handicaps promise to be more his bag. Showed ability in his first run but looks vulnerable in a race of this nature.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/4 -50%) Glorious Lion	2.25 9/4(-50%)	(2) Glorious Lion 9/4, Fair maiden on the Flat for James Ferguson and definite encouragement to glean from hurdles exploits for new yard, early enthusiasm catching him out late on when second of 6 in juvenile maiden at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Live player here. Beaten fav last time but even a repeat of that form should see him right in the mix.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

GOLDEN MAVERICK has proven costly to follow since turning his attentions to the jumps. This does not look the strongest of contests, though, and any further improvement might suffice. Glorious Lion posted another solid effort when occupying the runner-up spot at Kelso 10 days ago and he is the main danger, while Aire Spray, who showed promise in a couple of bumpers before falling on his hurdling bow last time out, might prove to be best of the remainder.

A fairly useful, 5-time winner on the Flat, GOLDEN MAVERICK has twice shaped with promise over hurdles for his new yard, seemingly finishing with something left when third at Ludlow 4 weeks ago. Open to further improvement and with conditions holding no fears, he can come out on top. Glorious Lion, who is also getting the hang of things over hurdles, rates the lead threat.

Both GOLDEN MAVERICK and Glorious Lion are likely to be seen to better effect on drier ground but they can still dominate this.

14:30 Market Rasen Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/11 +18%) Excelero	0.363636 4/11(+18%)	(1) Excelero 4/11, Has a good pedigree and showed plenty to work amidst inexperience when second of 9 in a juvenile at Warwick (2m, heavy) in November. Improved when third behind Sir Gino in Cheltenham Grade 2 in January and he rates the one to beat back in calmer waters with prospect of more to come. Creditable fourth in Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January and he sets a clear standard here.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 +5%) Glimpse Of Glory	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(2) Glimpse Of Glory 10/3, Passing Glance gelding who attracted support and was noted putting in some good late work having lost his position when third on hurdles debut at Wetherby (2m) 3 weeks ago. Looks sure to improve, for all longer trips may suit ideally in due course. Eyecatching third when well backed on his debut at Wetherby last month; in the mix.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -38%) Opera King	9 9/1(-38%)	(3) Opera King 9/1, Fair form when fourth in a couple of bumpers in December and not discredited when midfield in 13-runner Lingfield bumper a month later, outpaced before keeping on final 1f. Cheekpieces go on for hurdles debut. Showed promise in all three bumpers and he should have a future over hurdles.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -100%) Honeybun	40 40/1(-100%)	(5) Honeybun 40/1, Blue Bresil filly. Dam, modest 19f/3m hurdle winner, sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Upstager. Offered little when pulled up in juvenile maiden at Hereford (16.2f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Represents excellent yard but she's likely one for further down the line. Fell when 10-1 on her debut at Hereford last month; could be one for further down the line.
5th	4 5th (4) (125/1 -213%) Wonderful Delight	125 125/1(-213%)	(4) Wonderful Delight 125/1, In good hands but no short-term promise in 2 hurdle runs at Hereford/Taunton in recent weeks. One for later on. Remote seventh in two hurdle runs this year and remains best watched for now.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -500%) Rotarua	150 150/1(-500%)	(6) Rotarua 150/1, Sholokhov filly who showed more than on debut when fifth of 9 in bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, standard) 74 days ago. Tongue strap applied for hurdles debut but she's likely best watched. Modest form in bumpers and this looks tough on her hurdling debut; best watched.

EXCELERO, runner-up to Triumph Hurdle third Salver on debut, was thrown in at the deep in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time and is very hard to ignore dropping back down to this level. The application of a first-time hood can keep the selection focused and, with ground conditions to suit, the four-year-old is readily fancied to be too good for the likes of Glimpse Of Glory and hurdles-debutant Opera King at this stage.

EXCELERO took a step forward from his encouraging hurdling debut effort when third behind Sir Gino in a Cheltenham Grade 2 in January and he rates the one to beat returned to calmer waters with further progress in the offing. Glimpse of Glory should appreciate the demands of this track judged on her debut effort at Wetherby and is a threat. Opera King is also worth a look on hurdles bow.

This looks a good opportunity for EXCELERO, who ran well behind Sir Gino in a Grade 2 event at Cheltenham in January.

14:45 Haydock Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/5 -9%) Prairie Wolf	1.2 6/5(-9%)	(2) Prairie Wolf 6/5, Largely progressive over hurdles and improved for switch to chasing, off the mark at second attempt at Doncaster (20.5f) in December. Solid fourth at Cheltenham subsequently (strong form) and capitalised on the drop in grade at Catterick since. Remains of strong interest at this level. Two wins from his last three starts; unexposed over fences and could have more to offer.
2	4 2nd (4) (2/1 +43%) Heros	2 2/1(+43%)	(4) Heros 2/1, Started his chase career with a brace of 18f wins at Taunton and back to his best when a close second at Wetherby (19.4f, heavy) 20 days ago. Player. Back on song when going close at Wetherby three weeks ago and can make another bold bid.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 -43%) Glory And Honour	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Glory And Honour 5/1, Done well over fences since joining this yard and resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good to soft) before Christmas. Good second at Musselburgh since and should give another decent account. First or second on all seven starts for this yard; admirably consistent and respected.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (8/1 -129%) Carcaci Castle	8 8/1(-129%)	(3) Carcaci Castle 8/1, Bumper/dual hurdle winner. Disappointed in handicap hurdles on his first 2 outings this winter but got his career back on track with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie when ½-length second of 5 on chase debut at Carlisle (2m, soft). Went backwards at Ayr next time, however. Underwhelming at Ayr last time but promising second on chase debut at Carlisle previously.

There aren't many as consistent as Glory And Honour, who hasn't finished outside of the first two home in his last seven chase starts. Raised 2lb in the handicap for his latest second at Musselburgh last month, he is unlikely to be far away, but PRAIRIE WOLF might prove to be too strong. Sue Smith's charge recorded a comfortable victory at Catterick last month, having been far from disgraced in a warm Cheltenham contest previously, and a subsequent 7lb hike does not look insurmountable. Heros can chase the pair home.

PRAIRIE WOLF is a chaser who is very much on the upgrade and has sound claims of adding another win to his tally kept to this level. Heros got back on track when just edged out at Wetherby so is feared most.

Having won in good style at Catterick last time, the unexposed chaser PRAIRIE WOLF can make it three wins from his last four starts.

15:00 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (8/11 +58%) Theformismighty	0.727273 8/11(+58%)	(4) Theformismighty 8/11, Expensive point winner who was much improved from hurdling debut when chasing home Gidleigh Park at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) in December. Not in same form under positive ride at Warwick in January but worth another chance on back of wind surgery/equipped with a tongue tie. Irish point winner who has shown promise in some good hurdle races this winter; respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -157%) Anytrixwilldo	4.5 9/2(-157%)	(1) Anytrixwilldo 9/2, Friendless in betting but showed plenty when midfield in 10-runner Chepstow novice (2m) on debut 13 months ago. Disappointed with that in mind on return at that venue in November but he remains with potential intact, particularly now his stamina is tested further. Had two hurdle runs at Chepstow (2m) last year and he looks interesting on his debut form.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/2 -11%) Dr Seb	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(2) Dr Seb 5/2, Rather green in 2 bumpers but fair form in pair of maiden hurdles 20 months apart, shaping as if this longer trip would suit when third here (16.5f) in November. Absent again subsequently but in good hands and he could yet do better again. Returned after a long absence with a good third in a C&D maiden in November; shortlisted.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 -100%) Home Sweet Highway	16 16/1(-100%)	(3) Home Sweet Highway 16/1, Rules debut effort in a maiden hurdle at Ayr in November 2022 certainly wasn't devoid of promise and whilst he's not progressed since, it's reasonable to assume last month's return (from 11 months off/on back of wind op) was needed. Still, handicaps may be more his bag. Showed ability in his first three hurdle runs but has been tailed off in the last two.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (200/1 -100%) Massima Bella	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Massima Bella 200/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare who has finished nearer last than first in trio of bumpers to date. Rates a likely outsider now attentions switch to timber. Half-sister to some useful hurdlers but she needs plenty of improvement on hurdling debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (250/1 -25%) Sky's Your Limit	250 250/1(-25%)	(6) Sky's Your Limit 250/1, Well held in a trio of bumpers and showed nothing in pair of hurdle outings in recent weeks. Cheekpieces reached for. Down the field in three bumpers and she's been pulled up in both hurdle runs.

Dan Skelton appears to have found a good opportunity for the lightly-raced THEFORMISMIGHTY to prove his worth on his first start since having a wind operation. The fitting of a tongue-tie can also benefit the selection, who takes a step down in class. Dr Seb ran well over an extended 2m here when last seen and could improve now up in trip, while Anytrixwilldo was a disappointing favourite at Chepstow last time but cannot be ruled out given his obvious scope to improve.

THEFORMISMIGHTY weakened out of things having helped force the pace at Warwick in January but he'd previously showed plenty to work on when third at Newbury in December and, having undergone wind surgery ahead of this (also fitted with a tongue strap) he's fancied to get back on track with the Skelton team in excellent order. Anytrixwilldo promises to be suited by this increase in trip and he's worth monitoring. Dr Seb can do best of the remainder.

This looks a bit trappy but Dan Skelton's THEFORMISMIGHTY gets the vote ahead of Dr Seb and Anytrixwilldo.

1	1 1st (1) (2/1 +6%) Ascending Lark	2 2/1(+6%)	(1) Ascending Lark 2/1, Encouraging start to her career when runner-up in a Cork bumper last January. No progress in 2 subsequent starts for previous connections but it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting now switched to hurdles for her new yard. Has undergone a wind op. Placed in Irish bumpers and new trainer does very well with recruits from other yards.
2	8 2nd (8) (2/1 +0%) Dameofthecotswolds	2 2/1(+0%)	(8) Dameofthecotswolds 2/1, Bumper winner who looked in need of the experience when runner-up in junior event at Ludlow on her hurdles bow in December. Rather disappointing next 2 starts but seemingly back on track when third in C&D Victor Ludorum and big chance if able to reproduce that level of form. Receives valuable 10lb allowance from the older mares and she's a strong candidate.
3	7 3rd (7) (100/1 -203%) Wrappedinrubies	100 100/1(-203%)	(7) Wrappedinrubies 100/1, Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Dec 10). Little immediate encouragement when well beaten on Rules/bumper debut at Wetherby (2m) in January and looked one for later on/longer trips when midfield on hurdles debut at Bangor (16.6f) 3 weeks ago. Point runner-up but well beaten on first two rules starts (bumper/maiden hurdle).
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -186%) Barrons Land	20 20/1(-186%)	(2) Barrons Land 20/1, Runner-up four times in Irish points and filled the same position in a Doncaster bumper on her Rules debut in January. Showed aptitude for hurdling when fourth in mares' maiden at Musselburgh (19.8f) 31 days ago and this drop back in trip may help. Runner-up in 4 points & a bumper; soundly beaten on sole hurdle run but retains potential.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/3 +33%) Phone Home	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(4) Phone Home 10/3, Telescope filly who again ran to a fair level when second of 13 in mares' maiden at Catterick (15.7f) in January. Not in same form when fourth at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 6 weeks ago but not taken lightly now back down in trip. 0-6 but runner-up on two of her last four starts and best form reads well in this context.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 -136%) Santapietra	33 33/1(-136%)	(6) Santapietra 33/1, £40,000 4-y-o, Flemensfirth mare. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 12) but could never get on terms when seventh of 12 in Kelso bumper on Rules bow 33 days ago. In good hands and better showing likely now hurdling. Point runner-up who was soundly beaten on bumper debut but it wasn't without promise.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 -100%) Lady Pretender	14 14/1(-100%)	(3) Lady Pretender 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in France. Changed hands for €130,000/had wind operation, probably needed the run when fifth of 9 in Hereford maiden (16.2f) 24 days ago and likely her yard will find the key to her. Soundly beaten fifth on British debut but could improve for it; showed ability in France.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (17/2 +47%) Poppy Rose	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(5) Poppy Rose 17/2, Irish raider who returned in good heart late last year, finishing good second in 17-runner Naas handicap (2m, soft) in December. Disappointed next time and again not at her best when 10 lengths sixth of 7 in Ayr mares' handicap (21.4f) 11 days ago. Another dropping back in trip. Placed a few times but below best the last twice and now 0-13.

The vote goes to LADY PRETENDER, who was prominent in the betting ahead of her stable/UK debut last month. Venetia Williams' mare struggled to make an impact that day, but she can improve for that experience on her second run following wind surgery. Dameofthecotswolds marks highly for consistency and she ought to go well in receipt of weight from her elders, while Barrons Land weakened over 2m4f at Musselburgh last time out and could improve for the drop in trip.

DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS returned to form when third behind subsequent Triumph Hurdle-third Salver in the Victor Ludorum over C&D 32 days ago and a repeat of that could well be enough to see her score here in receipt of weight all round. Ascending Lark, now hurdling/following a wind op is worth a look on debut for Harry Derham, with Phone Home another who is fancied to be in the mix.

This could be a good opportunity for the hurdling newcomer ASCENDING LARK to make a winning start for Harry Derham.

1	2 1st (2) (10/3 +39%) Phillapa Sue	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(2) Phillapa Sue 10/3, Winner of a 3m Doncaster mares handicap hurdle (good to soft) before Christmas but below par both starts since. Makes chase debut. Still has potential as a stayer but she needs to kick on again on this switch to fences.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/4 +0%) Flintara	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(4) Flintara 7/4, Won 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles last season and all the better for her return when recording an easy success in 3-runner mares handicap chase at Fontwell (26f) in December. Backed that up with good second in similar event at Huntingdon 6 weeks ago and that form is working out well. Big shout. Easy win and good second in her last two runs over fences and she's a key player here.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 +21%) Pougne Aminta	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(3) Pougne Aminta 11/4, Irish point winner who scored with plenty in hand in maiden hurdle a year ago. Fair third on stable/chase debut at Ludlow (20f) and built on that at the second attempt when second at Wetherby (19.4f, heavy) 55 days ago. Up in trip. Unexposed over fences but she still has stamina to prove at this trip; others preferred.
4	1 4th (1) (10/3 +26%) Midnight Ginger	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(1) Midnight Ginger 10/3, Reliable hurdler who went in on only her second run over fences in 3-runner handicap at Chepstow (16f, heavy). That form is muddling, however, and only third of 5 there since. Stamina to prove back up in trip. Still unexposed over fences and she looks worth another try over this trip; not ruled out.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

FLINTARA has undergone wind surgery since a highly creditable runner-up effort at Huntingdon last month, and a 2lb rise seems lenient as she looks to make it two wins from her last three starts. Richard Bandey's charge gets the vote ahead of the Wetherby second Pougne Aminta, as well as Midnight Ginger, who has been quite consistent of late and should appreciate the step up in trip.

An excellent opportunity for FLINTARA to quickly resume winning ways in what looks a thin race. Pougne Aminta is next best.

Preference is for FLINTARA, who was runner-up at Huntingdon last time and is open to more progress on her first run after wind surgery.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 -11%) Jubilee Express	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(2) Jubilee Express 5/2, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Similar form over fences this season, good second at Lingfield 5 weeks ago, clear of rest and held only late on. Respected. 2nd when upped to 3m5f at Lingfield and this unexposed 7yo is open to further improvement.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 -20%) Gold Emery	9 9/1(-20%)	(6) Gold Emery 9/1, Point/hurdles winner who got better with each run over fences last season and came on for return when just failing here (25.6f). Disappointed at Bangor since but worth another chance at this trip. Pulled up after jumping errors at Bangor; could have a part to play if minimising blunders.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +68%) Conkwell Legend	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(1) Conkwell Legend 9/2, Useful winning handicap hurdler who was in the process of leaving his previous chasing efforts behind when falling 3 out at Exeter. Disappointed back over hurdles at Chepstow since, however, and others more solid. Untested at trip; below par latest but that may have come too soon after previous good run.
4	4 4th (4) (7/2 +0%) O'connell	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(4) O'connell 7/2, Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark in handicap chase at Market Rasen. Decent efforts in defeat since, shaping like the best horse at the weights when second at Carlisle 2 weeks ago. That was a third successive defeat when trading odds on in-running, however, and return to further not ideal. Running consistently well this season and could be bang there if seeing out the trip.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (5/1 -11%) Ali Star Bert	5 5/1(-11%)	(8) Ali Star Bert 5/1, Has been better than ever of late, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Wetherby 3 weeks ago, well on top at the finish. Up in class now but go well again. Thriving 8yo who has won three of his last four and has to be firmly in calculations.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (16/1 -14%) Atakan	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Atakan 16/1, Won 2 of his 3 starts switched to fences last season for Joe Tizzard. Shaped as if better for the run after 14 months off when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. 3m4f win in January 2023; then absent until fair comeback run last month; one to consider.

Won off this mark at Carlisle last March but good performances in the minority nowadays.

Having scored at Southwell and Wetherby last month, Ali Star Bert warrants respect in his bid for a hat-trick. A 3lb rise for his latest victory looks fair, but it could be worth taking the eight-year-old on now he's upped into class 3 company. JUBILEE EXPRESS ticks plenty of the right boxes having posted a respectable second at Lingfield latest and Sam Thomas' inmate may be able to shake off a 5lb higher mark. O'Connell has the form to be involved too.

ALI STAR BERT probably did well under the circumstances when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Wetherby 3 weeks ago so shades the vote over the quirky O'Connell, who is capable of winning off his current mark but needs to be played as late as possible. Jubilee Express is another to consider.

The progressive 8yo ALI STAR BERT could prove well suited by this step up in trip, and he earns the vote ahead of Jubilee Express.

9	9 (9) (22/1 -120%) Izzy's Grey	22 22/1(-120%)	(9) Izzy's Grey 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden who confirmed he possesses ability when runner-up at Fontwell and Hereford 8 weeks apart. Not in same form on first outing for new yard at Taunton when last seen in November. Unexposed 5yo but he was laboured at Taunton and needs to kick on again after that.
1	1 1st (1) (7/2 -17%) Woodie Flash	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(1) Woodie Flash 7/2, Irish point winner who got back on the up to double his tally over hurdles at Warwick (26f) in November, looking well suited by the longer trip. Possibly found the race coming too soon at Lingfield next time, so well worth another chance back from a break ridden by a competent 10-lb conditional. Emphatic win at Warwick on his penultimate run and he's respected back from a break.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/3 -33%) Accidental Legend	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(7) Accidental Legend 10/3, Returned to winning ways at Uttoxeter (19.9f) in December and has found only one too good both outings since, albeit flattered by his proximity to heavily-eased Burrows Hall at Catterick on most recent outing.

On workable mark but was well held at Huntingdon last time and is untried at this trip.

However, not in the same form the last twice, finishing well held at Exeter on his latest outing. On last winning mark but he's hard to predict and probably needs the ground to dry out.

Proved a major let-down back there a fortnight later, though. Tongue strap reapplied. Mercurial type who won on her penultimate run & has claims if she can recapture that form.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (14/1 -40%) Allo Allo	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Allo Allo 14/1, Dual winner over hurdles who opened his chase account at Bangor (20.3f) in April. Pulled up last 3 starts, however. Back over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces. Pulled up in all three runs this season and he needs a major revival back over hurdles.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (14/1 +0%) South Terrace	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) South Terrace 14/1, Attracted a fair bit of support but was pulled up back over hurdles over C&D 43 days ago. Enough to prove. Well treated on some old form but he was pulled up on his comeback over C&D last month.

There's nothing wrong with that form but he's been well held both starts in handicaps this season. Still has potential after only six runs but he needs a transformation at this new trip.

This can go the way of WOODIE FLASH, who was disappointing when last seen in November behind two rivals that have done well since, but he had impressed at Warwick before that. Returning to softer ground should be a plus and he may have too much for the consistent Accidental Legend, who has been in the first two on each of his last three outings. Dillarchie and Sister Michael are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

WOODIE FLASH most likely found the race coming too soon at Lingfield when last seen in November and is well worth another chance under a competent 10-lb conditional. Accidental Legend is considered the main threat of Sister Michael.

The vote goes to four-time hurdle winner ACCIDENTAL LEGEND, who was a good second on his step up to 3m1f at Catterick last month.

Last-time-out Southwell scorer KILTA looked way ahead of the handicapper and the Curtain Time gelding is taken to make easy work of an 8lb rise in the ratings. Not for the first time, Yealand didn't run to his best ability at Carlisle earlier this month. Jennie Candlish's inmate shouldn't be judged too harshly on that fifth-placed defeat and he isn't taken lightly judged on previous performances, while Romeo Brown is likely to enjoy a return to this distance.

KILTA looked a long way ahead of his opening mark when scoring in stylish fashion at Southwell 16 days ago and is highly likely to go in again. Yealand ought to be competitive once more and is feared most ahead of the class-dropping Gaelik Coast.

The suggestion is KILTA (nap) for whom an 8lb rise could have been worse given how comfortably he won at Southwell.

After 9 weeks off, landed the odds with a wide-margin success at Warwick 10 days ago, so he looks to hold leading claims. 2-2 in handicaps and is only 4lb higher than for his runaway win last time; strong claims.

BILLYTHEREALBIGRED made it two wins from two starts in handicaps when running out an easy winner over 2m at Warwick earlier this month and, upped just 4lb, he should take some stopping in search of the hat-trick. Martin Spirit scored readily on his first start since undergoing wind surgery over 2m at Plumpton last week and even with a 7lb penalty to shoulder, he is the main danger to the selection. Earth Cry completes the shortlist on his first start in handicap company.

BILLYTHEREALBIGRED has shown improved form switched to handicaps on his last 2 starts, making a winning stable debut with ease at Warwick 10 days ago, so he is the one to beat as he bids for his hat-trick. Martin Spirit gained his first success over hurdles at Plumpton on his latest outing and could be the biggest threat, ahead of Earth Cry.

This can go to BILLYTHEREALBIGRED, who is 2-2 in handicaps and is only 4lb higher than for his runaway win at Warwick last time.

Although President Scottie could be described as a fortuitous winner having been left in the lead to open his account at Ayr last month, a current rating of 117 looks workable for Nicky Richards' charge. However, fellow in-form rival NORTH PARADE has been shaping as if this step up in distance could unlock further improvement and the nine-year-old edges the vote. Hashtag Boum and Shantou Moon are others to consider.

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for PRESIDENT SCOTTIE, who was a fortunate winner of an Ayr maiden just over 5 weeks ago but promises to be suited by the nature of a handicap and remains open to improvement. Blue Baloo is another stepping into handicaps for the first time and she may emerge as the main danger, with Hashtag Boum and Shantou Moon taken to fight out third.

The handicap newcomer PRESIDENT SCOTTIE has displayed staying promise in 2m4f novice hurdles at Ayr and he's the selection.

DOUBLE POWERFUL scored over 2m4f at Fakenham last week and he can be expected to successfully shoulder a 7lb penalty en route to another victory. Despite not showing a great deal in his qualifying runs, better can be expected from Protector Pete pitched into handicap company for the first time, while Dexperado shapes as if the application of cheekpieces could help him and he commands respect.

DOUBLE POWERFUL stands out after scoring at Fakenham last week and should prove up to defying a penalty. Handicap newcomers Lily Baloo and Dexperado are next on the shortlist.

The one that stands out is DOUBLE POWERFUL (nap), who beat an odds-on rival at Fakenham last week and is open to more progress.

NIGHT RAIDER created a big impression when winning over C&D on his debut in December and the son of Dark Angel is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Cogitate won on his racecourse bow in July before showing promise in the Acomb on his next outing and he has to be of interest. The rest all look to be up against it, but West End Lass is the pick of them.

A potential match between NIGHT RAIDER and Cogitate. The latter didn't do himself justice when sent off favourite for the Acomb at York but Night Raider looked something out of the ordinary when making a winning start over C&D in December so shades the vote.

Exciting prospect NIGHT RAIDER is one to follow. Cogitate appears to be the only realistic threat in this field.

4	3 4th (3) (10/3 +17%) Abolish	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(3) Abolish 10/3, One win from 27 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/1) 40 days ago, left poorly placed. Potentially very well treated these days. 0-17 on the AW and he's an infrequent winner on turf; drop to 5f casts further doubts.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/2 -29%) Mehmo	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(7) Mehmo 9/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 19 days ago, late headway after a slow start. Not taken lightly. On 12-race losing streak but he's consistent and has plenty of form here; hard to discount.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 -100%) Rogue De Vega	14 14/1(-100%)	(4) Rogue De Vega 14/1, Not progressing but continues to fall in the weights, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 7/1) 12 days ago. 5f winner for Tom Clover; only sixth at Newcastle latest and others are safer bets.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 -300%) Mccauley's Tavern	16 16/1(-300%)	(5) Mccauley's Tavern 16/1, Winner at Kempton in January. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Back down in trip. Not running badly but sole win was over 6f and dropping to 5f might not suit.

JEANS MAITE was not at her very best last time but can be given another chance here as she was second over C&D off this mark on her penultimate outing. The drop to 5f may help McCauley's Tavern and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Beneficiary and Mehmo are others who have valid form claims.

JEANS MAITE is handicapped to win again and she should be spot on after a respectable fifth back from a break here last week. The booking of Rossa Ryan catches the eye on Abolish, who may emerge as the main threat from a tumbling mark.

The assured strong gallop should work in favour of MASTERCLASS who now goes in blinkers.

5th	2 5th (2) (17/2 -31%) Caldwell	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(2) Caldwell 17/2, Course winner. Latest win here in February. 9/1, good third of 10 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 15 days ago. Two course wins since Dec; form is up and down but has another big effort in him.
6th	7 6th (7) (13/2 -8%) Eagle's Realm	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(7) Eagle's Realm 13/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 5 runs last year. Latest win here in February. 10/3, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 15 days ago. Excellent run of form since returning to the AW in October but in Class 6s.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/2 +31%) Pons Aelius	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(1) Pons Aelius 9/2, Ran one of this season's lesser races when ninth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at this course (16.5f) 89 days ago. Type to bounce back and is down in class. Exposed but returns from a break having been gelded; feasibly handicapped.
8th	5 8th (5) (7/1 -75%) My Chiquita	7 7/1(-75%)	(5) My Chiquita 7/1, 13/8, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner novice hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good) 154 days ago, kept up to work. Off 154 days. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Respected. Placed in 1m6f handicaps last September before going on to win twice over hurdles.
9th	3 9th (3) (50/1 -52%) Champagne City	50 50/1(-52%)	(3) Champagne City 50/1, 33/1, below form after 11 weeks off when eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 15 days ago. He was very weak in the market when behind two of these here 15 days ago.

MY CHIQUITA was third off this mark at Chelmsford on her most recent Flat outing in September and the five-year-old has won both subsequent starts over hurdles. With that in mind, the daughter of Postponed gets the vote back on the level. Lunar Shadow has to be of some interest on her return from a break, while Upepo and Caldwell are best of the rest.

UPEPO continues to run well and is still not necessarily handicapped out of things, so gets the vote over Pons Aelius, who's lurking on a dangerous mark back down in class. My Chiquita also needs considering having won her last 2 starts over hurdles.

Although absent since October, MY CHIQUITA was in good form under both codes back then and she's worth chancing.

1	9 1st (9) (25/1 -285%) Ninth Life	25 25/1(-285%)	(9) Ninth Life 25/1, Winner at Lingfield in December. 7/2, respectable 5¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Fox Flame in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, keeping on when no room over 1f out. Not dismissed out of hand. Better than bare result behind Fox Flame and Isle Of Sark over C&D last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (2/1 +64%) Ayyab	2 2/1(+64%)	(4) Ayyab 2/1, Justified good support when off the mark in a Kempton maiden (11f) in October. 11/2, creditable 6¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Safety Catch in listed race at Lingfield (13f, AW) a month later. Better expected returned to handicaps. Ended last season with promising AW form; open to further progress this year; respected.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +29%) Isle Of Sark	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(5) Isle Of Sark 5/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/4, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 5 days ago, challenging final 1f and just failing. Can make presence felt. Short-head second at Newcastle last Friday shows he remains in good form; solid chance.
3	6 3rd (6) (18/1 -13%) Cavern Club	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Cavern Club 18/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 12/1) 39 days ago, left poorly placed. Others make more appeal. Has a question mark over current form; others are preferred.
5th	12 5th (12) (22/1 -175%) Fox Flame	22 22/1(-175%)	(12) Fox Flame 22/1, Three wins from 17 runs last year. 16/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D 15 days ago from Isle of Sark (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Building up a solid record around this venue and not discounted nudged up 2 lb. Promoted to first in C&D event this month having been carried right by Isle Of Sark.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +14%) Masqool	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Masqool 12/1, Course winner. 13/2, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago, finishing with running left. Should give another good account back up in trip. Very consistent this year; likely player, despite remaining on career-high mark.
7th	3 7th (3) (15/2 -15%) Liseo	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(3) Liseo 15/2, Latest win at Kempton (11f) in January. 7/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 18 days ago, weakening final 1f. Likely type to bounce back. Won off just 2lb lower at Kempton on most recent 1m3f attempt.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 -50%) Mount Olympus	12 12/1(-50%)	(11) Mount Olympus 12/1, Temperamental for Eve Johnson Houghton but has thrived for a yard switch last term, winning 3 of his 5 starts on the Flat. Minor promise in couple of hurdle outings has followed and each-way player returned to the level. Has a record of 14113 on Flat for current yard and 3-4 under Rossa Ryan; interesting.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 -208%) Wind Your Neck In	20 20/1(-208%)	(2) Wind Your Neck In 20/1, Dual winner at 2 yrs who justified good support to end losing run when taking 11-runner handicap (5/2) at Newmarket (12f, soft) in November. Absent since but he remains lightly raced at this sort of trip. Not out of things from revised mark. Won in higher grade at Newmarket when last seen; has the ability to play a big role.
10th	1 10th (1) (25/1 -79%) Wahraan	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Wahraan 25/1, Useful winner at his best for Sir Michael Stoute. Off 14 months/sold 38,000 gns, probably needed run when last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in December. This promises to reveal more but yard may well hold stronger claims with Isle of Sark. Drops in class on second start for new yard; market support should be noted.
11th	7 11th (7) (28/1 -40%) Tarbaan	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Tarbaan 28/1, Latest win at Yarmouth (10.1f) in September. 22/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 21 days ago, possibly needing the run after 4 months off. This longer trip rates more suitable and entitled to be sharper here. Could go well with Kempton reappearance under his belt and back up in trip.
12th	10 12th (10) (125/1 -793%) Sonning	125 125/1(-793%)	(10) Sonning 125/1, Flat/hurdles winner for Alan King who has improved further for present stable, well-served by test of speed when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) in November 2022. Lengthy absence to overcome here and the market may prove a useful guide as to expectations. Absent since scoring over hurdles in November 2022; check the betting.

The stewards intervention denied ISLE OF SARK (demoted to second) from victory when he clashed with Fox Flame (promoted to first) over C&D earlier this month, but the six-year-old can put the record straight if he maintains a true line this time. Having also gone agonisingly close at Newcastle latest, the selection is thriving on being kept busy and, with Saffie Orborne taking over in the saddle, he's taken to strike. Mount Olympus is also noteworthy.

An interesting handicap with the vote in favour of AYYAB. A low-mileage 4-y-o, she was very impressive when opening her account at Kempton in the autumn and, with this more suitable than her listed assignment thereafter, she's fancied to go well from what rates a handy mark. Isle of Sark is knocking firmly on the door and feared, with Ninth Life, who wasn't seen to best effect latest, also considered. Fox Flame can also figure.

The least exposed contender is AYYAB, who looks interesting back down in grade. Mount Olympus is second choice.

Shortlist material. Very consistent of late; sole win came over C&D; enters calculations.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 -167%) Bobby Joe Leg	20 20/1(-167%)	(2) Bobby Joe Leg 20/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in February. 7/2, run best excused when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Retains ability despite his advancing years; returns to his optimum trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/4 +57%) Berkshire Phantom	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(4) Berkshire Phantom 6/4, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Again ran well when second of 12 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 8 days ago, faring best of those held up. Every chance.

5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 -33%) David's Diva	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) David's Diva 6/1, Course winner in December. Latest success at Wolverhampton in February. 10/11, proved to be a disappointment when sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 22 days ago. In the mix if leaving that effort behind. Disappointing favourite here last month; progressive otherwise and may bounce back.

Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 9/2, not disgraced when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago, weakening final 1f having been pressured a touch up front. Not out of things. Has done all his winning at 6f but ran creditably over 7f two starts ago.
7th	8 7th (8) (10/1 -25%) Souffionne	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) Souffionne 10/1, Winner at Newcastle in November. Below form when sixth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (8f) 27 days ago. Has work to do. May produce a bigger effort of this reduced mark back down in trip.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 -32%) Sluzewiec	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Sluzewiec 33/1, 80/1, took a step back in the right direction despite not being seen to best effect when fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 17 days ago, late headway. Must build on that. 0-7 in Britain but shaped promisingly at Newcastle most recently.

A case can be made for virtually all of these, but BERKSHIRE PHANTOM has an impressive strike-rate on the all-weather and, having gone close in a similar race last time out, there are solid reasons to expect another bold showing from this previous course and distance winner. The pick of the rest is King Of York, who has also been admirably consistent of late and is well worth another try over this trip. Sluzewiec and Local Bay complete the shortlist.

KING OF YORK's sole success came over C&D last month and having held his form on both subsequent starts, Scott Dixon's 5-y-o gets the nod to double his tally at the expense of Berkshire Phantom, who fared best of those held up when runner-up over C&D last week and should be bang there with a repeat. Blackjack and David's Diva complete the shortlist.

On the back of a good C&D effort, BERKSHIRE PHANTOM holds particularly strong claims. King Of York is second choice.

Has made the frame all 4 starts this year, second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 5/1) 18 days ago. Could be thereabouts once again.

4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -264%) Tilsworth Ony Ta	20 20/1(-264%)	(1) Tilsworth Ony Ta 20/1, Successful at Chelmsford City (5f) in January and soon left behind a lesser effort when second of 6 in handicap (7/2) at the same C&D 25 days ago.

8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 -7%) May Remain	8 8/1(-7%)	(2) May Remain 8/1, C&D winner in February and not discredited when third of 10 in handicap here (9/1) 4 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently.

However, she shaped well after 6 months off when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1) 30 days ago, nearest finish (form has worked out well). Merits consideration. Good second at Wolverhampton on reappearance and that form is very strong for the level.
10th	9 10th (9) (22/1 -120%) Dequinto	22 22/1(-120%)	(9) Dequinto 22/1, Making second start for current yard, ran best race when third of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, 17/2) 13 days ago, nearest finish having again been slowly away. Needs to build on his latest effort back in a handicap. Clear signs of improvement in two runs for new yard; possibilities.

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT escapes a penalty having scored in an apprentice handicap at Wolverhampton last week and the five-year-old should take all the beating if coping with a quick turnaround. The biggest threat may emerge from Tilsworth Ony Ta, who shouldn't be inconvenienced by a return to this distance. Toptime and Miss Moonshine are other key contenders in their current fettle.

ARLECCHINOS'S GIFT built on his run of placed efforts when opening his account for the year at Wolverhampton 9 days ago and, racing off the same mark, he is taken to follow up in his current form. American Rose made an encouraging reappearance and could be the main danger with that run behind her, ahead of Tilsworth Ony Ta.

With her reappearance form working out very well, AMERICAN ROSE (nap) gets the firm vote. Toptime is second choice.

A 4lb rise for ENDLESS POWER's triumph at Wolverhampton last month looks far from insurmountable. This return to a mile shouldn't hamper the four-year-old's follow-up bid and he's taken to complete a double. Master Of Combat posted a solid third over C&D earlier this month and a similar performance should see him in the fold once more. The Invincible Spirit gelding is feared most, ahead of Visibility.

ENDLESS POWER has fewer miles on the clock than most in this contest and he's fancied to follow up from last month's Wolverhampton success. Master of Combat is a generally consistent sort and should go well again, with Visibility another player if able to replicate his recent second over 7f here.

This looks the time to catch FRANCESI, who has a good reappearance record. Visibility is second choice.
