Dam 1¼m winner out of useful 1½m-1¾m winner Jane Austen. One of 3 representing last year's winning yard and the market should point to which is the stable No 1.

4 4th (11) (7/1 +72%) Marianne North	7/1(+72%)	(11) Marianne North 7/1, Foaled February 6. Belardo filly. Dam, 9.7f winner, closely related to 7f/1m winner One Spirit and 7f winner Some Spirit (both useful), out of winning half-sister to high-class 6f-7f winner Diktat. Some of the others are more appealing on paper. Second foal,dam middle-distance winner, closely related to useful 7f winner One Spirit.
5th 5th (3) (9/1 +36%) Brosay	9/1(+36%)	(3) Brosay 9/1, Foaled March 10. 25,000 gns yearling, Tasleet colt.

6th 6th (9) (8/1 +68%) Far At Sea	8/1(+68%)	(9) Far At Sea 8/1, Foaled March 15. Far Above filly. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister useful 1½m-2m winner Mrs Gillow. Others make more appeal on paper. Fifth foal; by smart sprinter Far Above;, no shortage of speed in the pedigree.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (9/2 -50%) Felton Bellevue	9/2(-50%)	(2) Felton Bellevue 9/2, Winless for over 2 years, in which time he's finished place on 6 occasions, including when third of 7 in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, heavy) 23 days ago. Should give his running again. Last win was in Feb 2022; mainly sound efforts this term and should go well again.
2 2nd (6) (7/1 -180%) Wide To West	7/1(-180%)	(6) Wide To West 7/1, In first-time blinkers and fared better than previously under Rules when- second of 4 in handicap chase (5/1) at Leicester (22.7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time here and he should stay long distances, so holds place claims again if able to back that up. Two fair efforts this term including after a wind op with blinkers last time; a possible.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (4) (4/1 +60%) Tiny Tantrum	4/1(+60%)	(4) Tiny Tantrum 4/1, Captalised on a falling mark to land 2¾m Stratford handicap hurdle (heavy) in April. Came on for his seasonal return when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this here (soft) 61 days ago and he's not discounted on chase bow. Stratford hurdle winner on heavy last April; fair effort last time; first run over fences.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (5/1 +38%) Unwanted Attention	5/1(+38%)	(3) Unwanted Attention 5/1, Off mark over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2½m) in June. Showed aptitude when fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) on debut over fences in December and he's entitled to come on for that experience. Won a novice hurdle in June; fair fifth on chase debut; first run on soft/3m; bit to prove.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (5) (10/1 +50%) Patient Owner	10/1(+50%)	(5) Patient Owner 10/1, Found just one too good on chase debut at Uttoxeter in December 2022 but has gone the wrong way since and pulled up all 3 starts this season. Fair form last term; pulled up on all 3 starts this season (after a wind op last time).
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (15/8 -7%) Samourai One	15/8(-7%)	(1) Samourai One 15/8, Modest hurdler bettered his efforts in that sphere when winning a 7-runner handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft, 4/1) on chase debut last month. Manner of that victory was impressive and he rates as the one to beat again from 9 lb higher mark. Off the mark on chase debut at Market Rasen (form sound); the one to beat despite 9lb rise.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (7) (50/1 -52%) Moroval	50/1(-52%)	(7) Moroval 50/1, Sole win came here in November 2022 but nothing to write home about of late and he's opposable again. Disappointing since 100-1 win over C&D in 2022 and would be a surprise winner again.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (3) (40/1 +20%) Clinton Lane	40/1(+20%)	(3) Clinton Lane 40/1, Appeared to take a sizeable step forward when third in an 8-runner maiden at Wincanton in October but hasn't been able to repeat that effort since, including in handicaps. Has undergone breathing surgery since last seen. Placed at huge odds in a maiden in October but has struggled in low-grade handicaps since.
2 2nd (1) (1/4 +24%) All Authorized	1/4(+24%)	(1) All Authorized 1/4, Debut bumper winner who has been brought along steadily over hurdles, patiently ridden when fourth of 5 in novice at Sandown (16f, soft) last month. Better form when runner-up on handicap debut 16 days ago and that sets the clear standard back in a maiden. Second on recent handicap debut at Newbury; has strong claims in this maiden.
3 3rd (9) (22/1 +33%) Dance In The Park	22/1(+33%)	(9) Dance In The Park 22/1, Posted good second (with hood on) in a course bumper on NH debut in September but not at that level in a brace of bumpers since. Second in mares' bumper here in September but subsequent bumper form was underwhelming.
4 4th (6) (9/2 +0%) Seaside Legend	9/2(+0%)	(6) Seaside Legend 9/2, Fair in bumpers for Paul Nicholls and left behind a low-key hurdles debut when fifth of 12 at Plumpton last month, finishing with running left. Capable of better. Made steady late headway at Plumpton last month and has each-way claims here.
5th 5th (5) (11/1 -120%) Mount Washington	11/1(-120%)	(5) Mount Washington 11/1, Out of a bumper winner and showed something to work on when third on debut in November. Well beaten in listed company at Newbury since but now goes hurdling at an ordinary level. Struggled in Listed bumper last month but his debut third was a pretty good effort.
6th 6th (2) (50/1 -150%) Brave Ruler	50/1(-150%)	(2) Brave Ruler 50/1, Showed ability when fourth in a bumper at Chepstow in January but folded over the same C&D since. Shaped quite well on bumper debut but his second run was disappointing; hurdle debut today.
7th 7th (4) (28/1 +15%) El Bandido Pancho	28/1(+15%)	(4) El Bandido Pancho 28/1, Westerner gelding. Dam, no form over hurdles/fences, sister to useful chaser (stayed 21f) Mr Medic. Shaped better than end result suggests in a Chepstow. Beaten about 52l in heavy-ground Chepstow bumper on debut in January.
8th 8th (8) (66/1 +34%) Ballygelly	66/1(+34%)	(8) Ballygelly 66/1, £25,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the second attempt in October. Low-key start to Rules career. Irish point winner in October but has shown no significant promise in two recent hurdles.
9th 9th (10) (125/1 +38%) Surrey Nemesis	125/1(+38%)	(10) Surrey Nemesis 125/1, Little in the way of solid form in a trio of bumpers. Well down the field at triple-digit odds in all three bumpers; hurdle debut today.
\|F\| \|F\| (7) (80/1 -21%) Sir Maximus	80/1(-21%)	(7) Sir Maximus 80/1, Limited impact in a bumper/maiden hurdle 6 months apart. Pulled up in run-of-the-mill Plumpton maiden on last month's hurdling debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (8/11 +34%) Fiston De Becon	8/11(+34%)	(2) Fiston De Becon 8/11, Dual-winning hurdler who has made a promising start over fences this season, no extra only close home when third in handicap at Carlisle (20f, heavy) last time. Could be ready to open his chase account back down in trip with tongue strap reapplied. Won over 2m/2m2f over hurdles; good third over fences last time (2m4f); chance.
2 2nd (3) (10/3 +0%) Great Samourai	10/3(+0%)	(3) Great Samourai 10/3, Had been disputing the lead when falling 2 out in an Irish point and showed fair form in maiden hurdles last spring. After 6 months off, ran to a similar level when second at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) on handicap/chase debut in October. First run for yard after leaving Dan Skelton. £12,000 buy from the Skeltons in Jan; fair over hurdles and on chase debut; stable debut.
3 3rd (4) (7/2 +22%) Abaya Du Mathan	7/2(+22%)	(4) Abaya Du Mathan 7/2, Returned to form when runner-up on first 2 starts for his current yard and quickly left behind a lesser effort when beating his sole rival at this C&D (soft) in January. However, no match for a pair of younger rivals back here (20.4f) on his latest outing. £4000 buy in October; fair form since, including match win over C&D; acts on soft; chance.
4 4th (1) (12/1 -200%) Post No Bills	12/1(-200%)	(1) Post No Bills 12/1, Has enjoyed a productive campaign in handicap chases, gaining his third success of the season when readily making all at Plumpton (17f, good) in September. Shaped as if still in good form when third over hurdles the following month, so he's not taken lightly back over fences. Won three times at up to 2m5f last year; back after a break on going that isn't ideal.

Starts out in an ordinary bumper and a market move could prove significant. French-bred; 42,000euros 3yo; from family of smart Un De Sceaux; worth a market check.
3 3rd (2) (80/1 -21%) Icare Colombe	80/1(-21%)	(2) Icare Colombe 80/1, 80/1, seventh of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen on debut last March. Can only watch on return. Half-brother to winning pointer; well-beaten 80-1 shot on debut last March; more needed.
4 4th (5) (6/5 +47%) Strong Foundations	6/5(+47%)	(5) Strong Foundations 6/5, Runner-up sole start in Irish points. Promising first effort under Rules when fourth of 15 at Cheltenham in October and seemed to unsuited by a much sharper track when only fifth at Catterick 2 months later. Can bounce back after a 3-month break. Ex-Irish pointer; fair form in two bumpers including fourth at Cheltenham; chance.
5th 5th (4) (66/1 -780%) Joyeux Mans	66/1(-780%)	(4) Joyeux Mans 66/1, Pulled up sole start in points and ran to only a modest level when 10 lengths second of 4 in a Bangor bumper in December. Has changed yards since. Second of four in a bumper on rules debut before 10,500gns sale; more needed.
6th 6th (6) (6/1 +57%) Desiderata	6/1(+57%)	(6) Desiderata 6/1, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Little Awkward. Stable 0-13 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons but Sam Twiston-Davies (2-7 for yard) is an interesting booking. Worth a look in the betting. Half-brother to a bumper winner out of a 9f Flat winner; likely type; worth a market check.

15:10 Curragh Maiden 7f - 19 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
(2) (200/1 -203%) Eirinn Rua	200/1(-203%)	(2) Eirinn Rua 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) 17 days ago. Has struggled in two Dundalk outings, can be left out of calculations.
1 1st (14) (16/1 +0%) Money Dancer	16/1(+0%)	(14) Money Dancer 16/1, Belardo filly. Dam unraced out of winning half-sister to dam of high-class 6f to 1m performer Dutch Art, an excellent family. Check the betting. Unraced dam closely related to a Listed-placed 5f juvenile winner, champion jockey booked.
2 2nd (13) (13/8 -8%) Mayfair	13/8(-8%)	(13) Mayfair 13/8, Promising type. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Galway (7f, soft, 9/2) on debut last August. Tongue strap on 1st time. Likely to improve for top stable. Fourth of eight in a strong Galway festival maiden; tongue-tie applied, respected.
3 3rd (7) (5/1 -50%) Finsceal Luas	5/1(-50%)	(7) Finsceal Luas 5/1, Promising type. 10/1, fourth of 11 in minor event at this C&D (good). Off 7 months. May well do better. Leading claims. Kept good company in two C&D appearances at two, capable of making her presence felt.
4 4th (15) (150/1 -127%) Nativity Square	150/1(-127%)	(15) Nativity Square 150/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, last of 12 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut, slowly away. Off 8 months. In rear in a maiden contested by stablemate Finsceal Luas, stable's second-string again.
5th 5th (18) (14/1 -40%) Zaynab	14/1(-40%)	(18) Zaynab 14/1, €82,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Zayriyan and 1½m winner Zanahiyr. Dam 9f/1¼m winner. Probably of more interest in the long term as a half-sister to high-class jumper Zanahiyr.
6th 6th (16) (12/1 -140%) Next Trick	12/1(-140%)	(16) Next Trick 12/1, Promising individual. 4/1, third of 13 in maiden at this course (6f, soft) on debut. Off 163 days. Should improve. Made a pleasing late-season debut over 6f at this venue, this extra furlong likely to suit.
7th 7th (8) (9/4 +55%) Fleur De Chine	9/4(+55%)	(8) Fleur De Chine 9/4, Promising type. Third of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 10/3). Off 149 days. Open to progress. Promising debut at Naas last August, coped with heavy ground when third at Leopardstown.
8th 8th (9) (7/1 -119%) Gaenari	7/1(-119%)	(9) Gaenari 7/1, Fairly useful filly. 9 lengths last of 7 to Classic Flower in Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte (31/1) at Chantilly (6f, good). Off 163 days. Went close at this venue on debut, ran with credit in Pattern races, strong contender.
9th 9th (5) (40/1 -21%) Bella Mistiko	40/1(-21%)	(5) Bella Mistiko 40/1, Invincible Army filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Invasion Day and 6f winner Art Nouvelle. Twelfth foal, half-sister to six winners, trip should suit, likely to need experience.
10th 10th (12) (125/1 -89%) Marvellous Lady	125/1(-89%)	(12) Marvellous Lady 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, thirteenth of 20 in maiden at this course (8f, heavy). Off 134 days. Respectable debut on good ground, looked less effective on heavy here last November.
11th 11th (11) (250/1 -279%) Lismacbryan Hill	250/1(-279%)	(11) Lismacbryan Hill 250/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, ninth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 100/1) on debut 52 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Shaped with some promise on debut at Dundalk in January, heavy going may not be ideal.
12th 12th (10) (200/1 -203%) Lismacbryan	200/1(-203%)	(10) Lismacbryan 200/1, Kuroshio filly. Dam unraced. From a small stable and not a likely candidate for maiden success first time out.
13th 13th (19) (150/1 -50%) Zippy Rocket	150/1(-50%)	(19) Zippy Rocket 150/1, Thrice-raced filly. Seventh of 8 in maiden (25/1) at Navan (5f, heavy). Off 152 days. Significantly up in trip. Modest form in sprint maidens at two, looks more like a handicap prospect at this stage.
14th 14th (3) (250/1 -279%) Lady Delila	250/1(-279%)	(3) Lady Delila 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Ninth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 66/1) 87 days ago. Ran in a juvenile maiden won by Paddington, down the field at Dundalk on only 2023 start.
15th 15th (4) (200/1 -203%) Pearl Of Cotai	200/1(-203%)	(4) Pearl Of Cotai 200/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in maiden (50/1) at Dundalk (8f) on debut 45 days ago. Did not appear to stay 1m when 50-1 chance on belated debut at Dundalk last month.
16th 16th (6) (200/1 -203%) Decorated Princess	200/1(-203%)	(6) Decorated Princess 200/1, €2,500 yearling, Decorated Knight filly. Closely related to smart 1m-13f winner Marksmanship and 1m winner Goddess of Love and half-sister to 7f winner Goolagong. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. Tenth foal out of a 6f Listed winner who has produced several winners, others preferred.
17th 17th (1) (200/1 -203%) Charli Sands	200/1(-203%)	(1) Charli Sands 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event at Thirsk (12f, good), having run of race. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell. Unplaced in two starts in Britain, unlikely to make an impact in a maiden at this venue.
18th 18th (17) (33/1 +0%) Walkswiththestars	33/1(+0%)	(17) Walkswiththestars 33/1, 25,000 gns foal, €40,000 yearling, Camelot filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 12.5f), closely related to smart winner up to 9f Latin Love. Camelot filly whose dam did not show much, solid pedigree though, may need further.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (16/5 +20%) Only Fools	16/5(+20%)	(4) Only Fools 16/5, Gained a first success over hurdles in mares' novices' handicap at Ludlow (21.3f, soft) in November and backed up that effort when a close third at Leicester in January. Below-par run at Plumpton last time, though she's not discounted given the form she was in previously. Below par last time but was in good form beforehand and remains on a workable mark.
2 2nd (3) (2/1 +20%) Callin Baton Rouge	2/1(+20%)	(3) Callin Baton Rouge 2/1, Remains a maiden but, with cheekpieces reapplied, ran well when second in mares' handicap at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) in February. Couldn't match that level at the same C&D 2 weeks later, but no surprise to see her bounce back returned to this longer trip. 0-8 over hurdles but a major player if judged on last month's Plumpton second.
3 3rd (1) (7/1 -211%) Sailing Grace	7/1(-211%)	(1) Sailing Grace 7/1, Made a winning debut at Newton Abbot last season, before still looking in need of the experience when runner-up at Ayr next time. All but came down at the fourth at Hereford on her final outing, so she could still have more to offer now handicapping on her return. Major player. Makes handicap debut after long absence but could be on a good mark; interesting.
4 4th (5) (9/2 +25%) Luna Run	9/2(+25%)	(5) Luna Run 9/2, Bred for longer trips and shaped in kind when making the frame in Exeter mares' maiden hurdle (16.7f) on debut. However, she's finished well held both starts this season, so she has work to do as she makes her handicap bow. Unexposed after only three runs but improvement is needed on this handicap debut.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (6/1 +50%) Set In The West	6/1(+50%)	(6) Set In The West 6/1, Only poor form at best in 2021/22 and pulled up on her return from 22 months off at this course (21.8f) in January. Took a small step back in the right direction when third in handicap at Plumpton (25f, soft) 3 weeks ago, but others still make more appeal back down in trip. Didn't run badly over 3m1f last month but may benefit from this drop back in trip.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (2) (9/1 -50%) Miss Fedora	9/1(-50%)	(2) Miss Fedora 9/1, Opened her account at this C&D in November but pulled up on 2 of her 3 starts since. However, it was one of her better efforts when fourth here (21.8f, soft) on her penultimate run, not quite seeing out the longer trip, so she's capable of getting involved if on a going day. C&D winner in November but pulled up on two of three starts since; hard to predict.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (7/4 -40%) Fortunate Man	7/4(-40%)	(1) Fortunate Man 7/4, €210,000 buy after winning an Irish point in April. Unseated early on his Ffos Las hurdle debut but soon made up for that misfortune when winning an 18-runner novice in the style of a useful prospect at Newbury (16.3f, heavy). Disappointing at Wetherby since but given a break and now up in trip. Won sole Irish point; 2m maiden win followed by lesser effort but step up in trip can suit.
2 2nd (2) (4/6 +8%) Livin On Luco	4/6(+8%)	(2) Livin On Luco 4/6, Runner-up in an Irish point and quick to show fairly useful form in this sphere, landing 10-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy). Cheekpieces fitted and he matched that form when runner-up under a penalty at Taunton. One to beat. Stout staying performance to win over 2m3f, then kept battling at Taunton since; solid.
3 3rd (4) (10/1 +17%) Kaltender	10/1(+17%)	(4) Kaltender 10/1, Third foal, half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner Carole's Pass (2m-3m winner, by Authorized). Dam (h142), 2½m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Carole's Legacy. Tongue tied on debut. Useful pedigree; should be suited by at least this far but already tongue tied for debut.
\|F\| \|F\| (6) (50/1 -52%) Miss Maverick	50/1(-52%)	(6) Miss Maverick 50/1, Second of 4 in a Uttoxeter bumper last spring. Likely she needed the run on last month's hurdles debut and this will reveal more. Some bumper promise but was well adrift on hurdle debut last month; task no easier here.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (80/1 -60%) Blue Dauphin	80/1(-60%)	(3) Blue Dauphin 80/1, Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Late Night Lily and out of a bumper/2m-19f hurdle winner (stayed 21f). Reportedly bled on belated debut at Huntingdon in October. 40-1 for Huntingon debut in October, when he bled from the nose and last of six finishers.

15:40 Curragh Group 3 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (9) (7/2 -100%) Brilliant	7/2(-100%)	(9) Brilliant 7/2, Useful filly. 25/1, 6 lengths fifth of 8 to Ylang Ylang in Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) on final run of last season. Should be in the mix if fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance. Yard also saddles Everlasting. Just a Leopardstown maiden win to her name from nine starts, but creditable pattern form.
2 2nd (8) (4/1 +84%) Alpheratz	4/1(+84%)	(8) Alpheratz 4/1, Twice-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. Won 11-runner maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 11/8). Off 153 days. Hood on 1st time. Open to improvement but this demands a significant step forward. Runner-up at Thurles and snug winner at Gowran in two maiden outings in October; hooded.
3 3rd (1) (6/4 +77%) Goldana	6/4(+77%)	(1) Goldana 6/4, Useful mare. 66/1, 9½ lengths last of 8 to Inspiral in Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket (8f, good to firm), unsuited by way race developed. Off 163 days. Winner of the Gladness Stakes on reappearance here last season and she will be a big player if again ready to roll following a break. Won 7f Group 3 against geldings here on seasonal/yard bow last April; handles heavy well.
4 4th (10) (13/2 +19%) Everlasting	13/2(+19%)	(10) Everlasting 13/2, Twice-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. 9/2, won 11-runner maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy), responding well. Off 140 days and this represents a significant step up in class but she's clearly a promising filly. Took a nice step forward from her debut when making most on heavy ground at Galway.
5th 5th (2) (16/1 -113%) Magical Sunset	16/1(-113%)	(2) Magical Sunset 16/1, Useful filly. Off 149 days and back up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Dominic Ffrench Davis. Conditions won't be a problem and she should make her presence felt. Handles testing ground well and won a Group 3 over 7f on soft at Goodwood last August.
6th 6th (3) (18/1 -80%) Mammas Girl	18/1(-80%)	(3) Mammas Girl 18/1, Useful filly. 6¼ lengths tenth of 12 to Secret Money in Grade 3 Music City Stakes (529/100) at Kentucky Downs (6.5f, firm) when last seen 6 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon and she's one to consider. Won Group 3 Nell Gwyn over 7f (good to soft) first time out last year for Richard Hannon.
7th 7th (11) (25/1 -25%) Sli Na Ghealai	25/1(-25%)	(11) Sli Na Ghealai 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 5-runner nursery (5/2) at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy). Off 149 days and she will need to have improved during the winter if she's to follow up here. Won final two juvenile starts readily over 7f, including nursery on heavy at Leopardstown.
8th 8th (5) (33/1 +18%) Lady Of Inishfree	33/1(+18%)	(5) Lady Of Inishfree 33/1, Fairly useful mare. 12 lengths tenth of 12 to Paris Peacock in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good, 15/2), unable to sustain effort. Off 19 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Useful type has been off since August of 2022 and hasn't raced on ground this testing.
9th 9th (4) (16/1 -45%) Cadeau Belle	16/1(-45%)	(4) Cadeau Belle 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Hooded for 1st time, 14¼ lengths last of 12 to Tahiyra in Matron Stakes (80/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good to firm) on final run of last season. Tongue strap on 1st time. Won Listed contest over 1m at Navan on good ground last summer; in rear both starts since.
10th 10th (6) (100/1 +0%) Peace Of Mine	100/1(+0%)	(6) Peace Of Mine 100/1, 16/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft), folding. Off 168 days and back down in trip on first start since leaving the George Boughey stable. New yard has landed 2 of the last 3 runnings of this but she's opposable all the same. 1m2f winner on soft in Britain but 72-rated filly has no chance here on stable debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (2/1 +0%) Mumbles	2/1(+0%)	(4) Mumbles 2/1, Winner in hurdle at Chepstow in January. Creditable second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy, 5/4) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. Wide-margin winner at Chepstow in January and good second under penalty soon afterwards.
2 2nd (3) (9/4 +32%) Sangiovese	9/4(+32%)	(3) Sangiovese 9/4, Brought along steadily before getting off the mark on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f, soft) in January, forging clear. Progressed again despite going about things in laboured fashion once more when runner-up here last time and although he's 5 lb higher, he should go well again. Raced lazily in first two handicaps but finished well both times; blinkers now added.
3 3rd (2) (2/1 -60%) Molto Bene	2/1(-60%)	(2) Molto Bene 2/1, Left the form of first 2 starts behind when third in a Warwick mares' novice with a tongue strap enlisted in January. Took another step forward when making a winning handicap debut at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) recently and, with further progress likely, this 6 lb higher mark could be within her reach. Won readily by 6l on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton and can improve again.
4 4th (1) (7/1 +30%) Word Has It	7/1(+30%)	(1) Word Has It 7/1, Made a successful return in a 3-runner contest here in November. Seemed unsuited by the stiff track when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft) 32 days ago. Others are preferred up in trip. Below form last time but has dropped to a good mark and is unexposed over this trip.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (6/4 +40%) Our Pink Lady	6/4(+40%)	(2) Our Pink Lady 6/4, Opened her account at fifth attempt for this yard when landing a heavy-ground C&D handicap a couple of weeks ago, proving 4¾ lengths too good for Young At Heart. 5 lb rise fair enough and she's a big player with Harry Cobden again in the hot-seat. Produced impressive finish over C&D on third handicap start; capable of better back up 5lb.
2 2nd (1) (10/1 -82%) Walkinthecotswolds	10/1(-82%)	(1) Walkinthecotswolds 10/1, Pulled up on hurdles debut at Taunton in December but has made the frame on each of her 3 subsequent starts, chasing home a progressive type at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) a fortnight ago. Shouldn't be too far away if able to build on that now pitched into a handicap. Stays 2m4f on soft and has a greater chance of success now switched to a handicap.
3 3rd (3) (9/4 +36%) Young At Heart	9/4(+36%)	(3) Young At Heart 9/4, Stepped up on low-key form in maiden/novice company when second to Our Pink Lady on handicap debut over this C&D last time. The first-time hood she sported that day is retained and while she's clearly not entirely straightforward, a 6 lb pull with that rival gives her a fighting chance. Similar chance to Our Pink Lady on recent C&D form but probably needs extra, even so.
4 4th (4) (5/2 -100%) Ruler Of The River	5/2(-100%)	(4) Ruler Of The River 5/2, Just a modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jack Davison but is developing intoa fairly useful performer in this sphere judged on her decisive success in a Kelso maiden hurdle (16.2f, soft) 8 days ago. May well have more to offer now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Signs of ability on Flat in Ireland; ready winner in 2m maiden hurdle latest; new trip.

Off 8 months but he's still not taken lightly. Won at Naas on heavy before fine second over C&D on better ground over Derby weekend.
2 2nd (6) (12/1 +52%) Smooth Tom	12/1(+52%)	(6) Smooth Tom 12/1, Course winner. Well-beaten fifth of 9 to Caldwell Potter in Future Champions Novices' Hurdle (28/1) at Leopardstown (16f, heavy) 82 days ago. Needs to get back on track. 1m2f winner at Leopardstown last May and fit from a productive spell over hurdles.
3 3rd (1) (9/2 +68%) Raadobarg	9/2(+68%)	(1) Raadobarg 9/2, C&D winner. 16/1, below form tenth of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft). Off 149 days. Stable in good form. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Won this off 7lb lower in 2022 on seasonal debut when with Johnny Murtagh; handles heavy.
4 4th (13) (25/1 -14%) Casanova	25/1(-14%)	(13) Casanova 25/1, Twenty seven runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 25/1). Off 134 days. Merits consideration if back on his A-game. Long losing run, close third in this off 97 last year albeit with the benefit of a prep.
5th 5th (14) (22/1 +0%) Earls	22/1(+0%)	(14) Earls 22/1, Has possibly gone off the boil, only seventh of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Naas (7f, soft). Off 156 days with work to do. Handles heavy and won a big pot over 7f at Cork last May; probably best around a bend.
6th 6th (12) (14/1 -56%) San Aer	14/1(-56%)	(12) San Aer 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at Galway in October. Very good seventh of 25 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Naas (15.6f, heavy) 22 days ago. Can make his presence felt back on the level. Fourth in this last year and came back to form in the autumn, winning at Galway in October.
7th 7th (3) (33/1 -83%) Serious Challenge	33/1(-83%)	(3) Serious Challenge 33/1, 9/1, respectable 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Espionage in listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to soft), needing stiffer test. Off 8 months. Makes handicap debut. Possibilities. Fairly highly tried last term over further, beaten no more than 2l on last three starts.
8th 8th (19) (40/1 -150%) Green Sky	40/1(-150%)	(19) Green Sky 40/1, Thrice-raced winner on Flat. 9/1, good third in juvenile hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 51 days ago. More is required however back in this sphere. Fit from hurdling and good claimer rides; unexposed but this looks tough and is 6lb wrong.
9th 9th (10) (22/1 -120%) Simply Sideways	22/1(-120%)	(10) Simply Sideways 22/1, Five wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Tipperary in October. 17/2, good third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy), staying on well. Off 134 days. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won five handicaps last term and mark has gone up nearly 40lb; goes well on heavy.
10th 10th (5) (16/1 -33%) Take Heart	16/1(-33%)	(5) Take Heart 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Creditable fifth of 22 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 6 months but can't be discounted for good yard. Ran in 1m2f handicaps last term, winning at Naas in between creditable efforts here.
11th 11th (7) (8/1 +11%) Rahmi	8/1(+11%)	(7) Rahmi 8/1, C&D winner. 12/1, creditable sixth of 22 in handicap at this C&D (good). Off 6 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs considering. Beat really good yardstick Dunum over C&D on Guineas weekend last year; best form on good.
12th 12th (20) (20/1 +50%) Razdan	20/1(+50%)	(20) Razdan 20/1, C&D winner. Below form fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f, 22/1) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Significantly back down in trip. Must improve. Won over C&D on this card last year at a much lower level; surprise if he's up to this.
13th 13th (17) (25/1 -213%) Joe Masseria	25/1(-213%)	(17) Joe Masseria 25/1, 6/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 148 days ago on his final run for Noel Meade. Can make presence felt for his new handler. Did well for Noel Meade; has his ground and could go well on stable debut; 1lb wrong..
14th 14th (11) (33/1 -18%) Mr Lincoln	33/1(-18%)	(11) Mr Lincoln 33/1, Below form ninth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (15.5f, soft, 8/1) 50 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat, so not ruled out back in this sphere. Fit from hurdling and ground should be okay but handicapper has been slow to relent..
15th 15th (9) (16/1 -129%) Lan Cinnte	16/1(-129%)	(9) Lan Cinnte 16/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft, 5/4), all out. Off 7 months. Can go well again despite taking a 2 lb rise. Consistent filly last term, winning Galway festival h'cap on final start; has won on soft.
16th 16th (15) (6/1 +40%) Tosen Wish	6/1(+40%)	(15) Tosen Wish 6/1, Latest win at Southwell in September. 2/1, good second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f), clear of rest. That form has been franked so he's expected to be bang there off an unchanged mark. Useful AW form in the autumn; fair form on easy turf but doubt he wants it this testing.
17th 17th (18) (125/1 -150%) High Honour	125/1(-150%)	(18) High Honour 125/1, 80/1, first run since leaving Charlie Appleby when last of 22 in handicap at this course (10f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Tongue strap back on. Not easy to make a case for. Had soft ground form for Charlie Appleby but failed to beat a rival on stable debut here.
18th 18th (8) (50/1 -100%) Current Option	50/1(-100%)	(8) Current Option 50/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D (heavy). Off 134 days with more needed. Didn't manage even a placed effort last year despite declining mark; revival called for.
19th 19th (2) (8/1 +20%) Snapraeterea	8/1(+20%)	(2) Snapraeterea 8/1, Latest win at Tipperary in October. 11/2, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 8 to Mutasarref in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, heavy). Off 148 days but still much respected. Ground will be right and he won at Listed level for third time at Tipperary in October.

16:18 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (2) (9/4 +59%) The Scorpion King	9/4(+59%)	(2) The Scorpion King 9/4, Unreliable maiden who didn't shape too badly on his chase debut here in January but subsequently ran no sort of a race at at Market Rasen. Opposable. Made quite encouraging chasing debut but his latest run was disappointing.
2 2nd (1) (9/4 -50%) Mister Murchan	9/4(-50%)	(1) Mister Murchan 9/4, Losing run stretches back to January 2021 and, not for the first time, he rather snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when collared close home after hanging/idling at Lingfield (2¾m, heavy). Still, that was a stronger race than this and dropping back in trip/refitting of cheekpieces may help. No win since 2021 but went close this month and remains well handicapped.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 +33%) Concrete King	4/1(+33%)	(3) Concrete King 4/1, Four-time winner between the flags but he's 0-18 under Rules after checking out tamely when the chips were down at Chepstow last time. Likely to come up short once more. Has quickly gone off the boil since running well in first-time cheekpieces in November.
4 4th (4) (11/2 -83%) Ideallko	11/2(-83%)	(4) Ideallko 11/2, Has improved for the switch to chasing, striking at Ffos Las and Plumpton in October. May well have added to his tally had he jumped with greater fluency when second in a 4-runner affair at Doncaster (19f, soft) recently and solid chance off the same mark here. Dual chase winner in the autumn and posted another good effort this month; big player.
5th 5th (5) (6/1 -33%) Staar	6/1(-33%)	(5) Staar 6/1, Just one effort of note under Rules, namely when going close in a Wincanton handicap hudle in December 2022. Not so good in 4 subsequent starts, though, and didn't get very far on recent chase debut at Bangor. Lightly raced for his age but unseated rider on chase debut; others have less to prove.

1 1st (3) (5/2 -11%) Hostile Hotelier	5/2(-11%)	(3) Hostile Hotelier 5/2, Made a winning handicap debut over hurdles at Hexham in November. Good second here since and also on his chasing debut when runner-up at Newcastle. Player back in this sphere off a handy-looking mrk. 2m novice handicap hurdle winner who has run creditably last twice; up in trip; a possible.
2 2nd (2) (5/2 +0%) Flying Fortune	5/2(+0%)	(2) Flying Fortune 5/2, Dual bumper winner whofposted a good second in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (17f) in October. Below-par fifth of 8 at Ffos Las (15.8f, heavy) 127 days ago. Back up in trip for his handicap debut with more needed. Dual bumper winner; good second in novice hurdle in October (heavy); chance on h'cap debut.
3 3rd (4) (11/4 +0%) Jubilee Gold	11/4(+0%)	(4) Jubilee Gold 11/4, Lightly-raced hurdle winner who got back on track when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, heavy) 40 days ago. Can go well again with that form having been franked. Maiden hurdle winner; best run since long break when second last time (form sound); chance.
4 4th (1) (6/1 -33%) Pozo Emery	6/1(-33%)	(1) Pozo Emery 6/1, Promising novice hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2021. Pulled up in 2 chase starts for new yard since returning from a long absence but not disgraced when placed in 2m handicap hurdles at Leicester and Sandown subsequently. Cheekpieces go back on and possibilities. Useful novice for Paul Nicholls; off 933 days; on a good mark; chance with headgear tried.
5th 5th (5) (10/1 +9%) Quian	10/1(+9%)	(5) Quian 10/1, Smart at one time on the Flat and he opened his account over hurdles in 2m handicap at Taunton in December. Only fifth of 6 at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) 39 days ago though so more is required. Seven-time Flat winner; won on h'cap debut over hurdles (2m); should fare better at 2m4f.
6th 6th (6) (50/1 -52%) Over Milk Wood	50/1(-52%)	(6) Over Milk Wood 50/1, Modest form over hurdles in Ireland for Olivia Hegarty in 2021. Offered little on his comeback run for his new handler when a remote fifth in Bangor novice 19 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Ex-Irish; modest form so far including on stable stable after a break of 907 days.

Significantly down in trip. Maiden has some heavy ground form Flat and hurdles and better for recent AW spin.
6th 6th (7) (9/1 +10%) Barrier	9/1(+10%)	(7) Barrier 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 16/5, good third of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 30 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Looks competitive on form. Second in 1m2f handicap on fast ground for Andrew Balding; been running well over hurdles.
7th 7th (6) (15/2 +25%) Rampage	15/2(+25%)	(6) Rampage 15/2, Latest win at Galway in September. Good fourth of 12 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 22/1) 10 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on. Can make presence felt. Sixth in this last year without a prep which he has had on AW this time; handles heavy.
8th 8th (10) (20/1 -100%) Hokusai	20/1(-100%)	(10) Hokusai 20/1, 17/2, sixth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (6f). Off 96 days. Significantly back up in trip. Runner-up in 2 heavy ground maidens and AW probably not ideal for him; mark has come down.
9th 9th (9) (14/1 -75%) Eighty Eight	14/1(-75%)	(9) Eighty Eight 14/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Dundalk (8f) 38 days ago. Booking of McMonagle a plus. Needs a couple of these to falter. Now with third trainer for whom he's been running creditably on AW; sole win was on good.
10th 10th (3) (9/2 +10%) Superior Force	9/2(+10%)	(3) Superior Force 9/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 11/1) 45 days ago, running on. Stepping back in the right direction. Dual winner on soft in Britain and been in good nick on AW; fourth in this last year.
11th 11th (24) (22/1 -83%) Tall Story	22/1(-83%)	(24) Tall Story 22/1, Remains a maiden after 31 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable fifth of 20 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy). Off 139 days. RESERVE. Longstanding maiden but has often run well here and handles the ground well; reserve.
12th 12th (12) (6/1 +45%) Breezy Zoff	6/1(+45%)	(12) Breezy Zoff 6/1, Course winner. One win from 25 Flat runs. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 14/1). Off 115 days. Back down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Placed twice over 7f here in autumn on this type of ground; tends to come on for a run.
13th 13th (21) (40/1 +0%) Kiwi Kiss	40/1(+0%)	(21) Kiwi Kiss 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 33/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 33 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Had plenty of racing in France where she won four times on AW; only fair form at Dundalk.
14th 14th (19) (14/1 +13%) Grey Fable	14/1(+13%)	(19) Grey Fable 14/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 3/1) 62 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Has been disappointing after initial handicap promise; drops in trip, tongue-tie tried.
15th 15th (1) (33/1 +0%) Clear Quartz	33/1(+0%)	(1) Clear Quartz 33/1, 18/1, fifteenth of 22 in handicap at this course (7f, heavy). Off 134 days. Others more persuasive. Goes well on heavy; missed most of last season but ran well at Galway at the backend.

First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Some fair maiden runs on heavy but well held when favourite for pair of AW handicaps.
17th 17th (17) (28/1 -133%) Broad Daylight	28/1(-133%)	(17) Broad Daylight 28/1, Creditable third of 16 in handicap (18/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy). Off 154 days. Merits consideration. Much better when 2l third over bit further at Gowran (heavy) in October; chance on that.
18th 18th (20) (11/1 +73%) Play It Again Zaam	11/1(+73%)	(20) Play It Again Zaam 11/1, 12/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 38 days ago. Others preferred. Ran well in a 7f maiden on this card last year; promising third on AW wasn't built upon.

21st 21st (4) (22/1 -214%) Beauty Bella	22/1(-214%)	(4) Beauty Bella 22/1, 9/1, didn't need to improve to win 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f) 45 days ago, comfortably. Something to find on form. Plenty of placed form on testing turf and off the mark in maiden over this trip on AW.
22nd 22nd (23) (100/1 -100%) Tack	100/1(-100%)	(23) Tack 100/1, First run since leaving E. D. Delany when last of 11 in claimer at Dundalk (6f, 80/1) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Modest maiden was well beaten in AW claimer on recent yard debut and no form on heavy.
23rd 23rd (13) (50/1 -100%) Tujjaar	50/1(-100%)	(13) Tujjaar 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Must improve. Frankel gelding didn't show a lot for Richard Hannon and cheaply bought in the autumn.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (5) (5/4 +9%) Twp Stori	5/4(+9%)	(5) Twp Stori 5/4, Poor form but his efforts in handicap hurdles recently suggest he has a race in him, going down only narrowly over 23f at Lingfield latest. Leading claims. Collared only in closing stages by a progressive rival when upped to 2m7f last month.
2 2nd (3) (4/1 +43%) Blackacre	4/1(+43%)	(3) Blackacre 4/1, Modest maiden hurdler who was pulled up in handicap at Hereford (25.5f, soft) last time. Others more persuasive. Remote third on handicap debut but has run poorly since; has questions to answer.
3 3rd (1) (17/2 -70%) Hello Sunshine	17/2(-70%)	(1) Hello Sunshine 17/2, Produced a career best to double her tally over hurdles when scoring with ease at Plumpton (25f) last May. Creditable fourth at Stratford later that month but not seen again until pulled up at Kempton 5 weeks ago. In good form last spring but pulled up last month, after a layoff.
4 4th (4) (9/1 -64%) Bellamy's Grey	9/1(-64%)	(4) Bellamy's Grey 9/1, Unreliable in the main but this veteran has run with credit when reaching the frame in handicap hurdles at Wincanton on his last 2 starts. In the frame twice last month but this quirky veteran races lazily and is hard to predict.
5th 5th (2) (16/5 -16%) Fortuitous Favour	16/5(-16%)	(2) Fortuitous Favour 16/5, Bumper winner who produced one of her better efforts over hurdles when third of 9 over 3m at Southwell last month. Went a little in snatches on that occasion so possible she'll benefit from today's first-time blinkers. Considered. Just a respectable third at Southwell last month; blinkers may prompt improvement here.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (4) (7/2 -133%) I'm On My Way	7/2(-133%)	(4) I'm On My Way 7/2, Improved to make a successful handicap debut at Wincanton (19.8f) in December and was in the process of running well when unseating rider 3 out at Doncaster the following month. Not taken lightly. Improved for 2m4f on soft when winning handicap debut; unseated 3 out over 3m since.
2 2nd (2) (7/4 -40%) Innisfree Lass	7/4(-40%)	(2) Innisfree Lass 7/4, Aided by first-time headgear when opening account in 6-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy, 5/1) 29 days ago. 6 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. Powered home over C&D on heavy last month; back up 6lb; proven staying ability a big plus.
3 3rd (5) (11/8 +90%) R Bernard	11/8(+90%)	(5) R Bernard 11/8, Poor maiden hurdler and little impact in 4 starts over fences. Ran no sort of race back over timber in November and remains to be seen if switch to new yard brings about improvement. Close 2nd in 3m hurdle in March 2022 but showed very little in 2023; new yard.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (1) (14/1 -133%) Guguss Collonges	14/1(-133%)	(1) Guguss Collonges 14/1, Successful over fences at Stratford (22.6f) and Lingfield (23.5f) in November. However, has run poorly on his last 2 starts, so needs to get back on track returned to hurdling (still looking for his first win in this sphere). Two chase wins at 2m7f in November (soft/good to soft); pulled up on heavy last twice.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (3) (25/1 -79%) Camilla's Choice	25/1(-79%)	(3) Camilla's Choice 25/1, Surpassed pick of her Irish form when making second start for this yard a winning one at Bangor (23f) in August. However, been very disappointing in both outings since and has something to prove now. Exposed in Ireland; off the mark on 2nd start for yard (2m7f, good); big ground query.
\|PU\| \|PU\| (6) (33/1 -136%) Clarehill	33/1(-136%)	(6) Clarehill 33/1, Maiden Irish pointer who hasn't shaped with much encouragement over hurdles as yet. May do better now sent handicapping, although is 3 lb out of the weights here. Modest form in Irish points and maiden hurdles; lowly mark now handicapping.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (6) (2/1 +43%) Merisi Diamond	2/1(+43%)	(6) Merisi Diamond 2/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at this course (7f, heavy) 139 days ago on his final run for Ms Joanna Morgan. Hiked up 11 lb but has more to offer for his new handler. Player. Won in good style over 7f here on final start last season, now 11lb higher, good chance.
2 2nd (19) (18/1 +55%) Dark Viper	18/1(+55%)	(19) Dark Viper 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 50/1) 116 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not much encouragement from his form for Richard Hannon, gelded now, cheekpieces on.
3 3rd (13) (12/1 -85%) Master Garvey	12/1(-85%)	(13) Master Garvey 12/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 5/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f). Off 94 days. Back down in trip. In the mix. 19-race maiden; decent placed form on turf last summer, never quite at best at Dundalk.
4 4th (4) (9/1 -29%) Downforce	9/1(-29%)	(4) Downforce 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft), running on late. Off 9 months but this veteran still merits consideration. Eight-time winner, well suited by testing conditions, worth considering on that basis.
5th 5th (14) (14/1 +13%) Bright Image	14/1(+13%)	(14) Bright Image 14/1, 14/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (6f). Off 103 days and one to consider. Not certain to be suited by heavy ground, produced a solid display at Dundalk in December.
6th 6th (16) (20/1 +0%) Gegenpressing	20/1(+0%)	(16) Gegenpressing 20/1, 10/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 62 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. In fair form at Dundalk lately but overall turf form is patchy, others are more appealing.
7th 7th (8) (66/1 -100%) The Stray Sod	66/1(-100%)	(8) The Stray Sod 66/1, 66/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 33 days ago. Others appeal more. Never in first three, fourth of seven at Dundalk her best effort, poor recent Dundalk run..

9th 9th (1) (5/1 +50%) Mercurial	5/1(+50%)	(1) Mercurial 5/1, Creditable second of 19 in handicap (16/1) at this course (5.9f, heavy). Off 139 days. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 1-25 record a concern but ended the season with C&D second on heavy ground.
10th 10th (17) (16/1 -100%) Liberty Looming	16/1(-100%)	(17) Liberty Looming 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden, best effort when sixth of 20 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy). Off 139 days. Makes handicap debut. Needs another step forward. Ridden by a 10lb claimer when showing improvement on final 2023 start, definite chance.
11th 11th (12) (28/1 -75%) Guest Star	28/1(-75%)	(12) Guest Star 28/1, 9/2, last of 7 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 62 days ago. First run for yard after leaving D. J. Bunyan & G. O'Leary and others are preferred. Well-exposed sort is now looking regressive after three moderate runs Dundalk.
12th 12th (11) (22/1 -57%) Angel On Fire	22/1(-57%)	(11) Angel On Fire 22/1, Winner at Gowran in October. Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 14/1), badly hampered. Off 140 days but enters calculations. Handled heavy ground well when winning at Gowran last season, this trip may be inadequate.
13th 13th (5) (10/1 +17%) Conversant	10/1(+17%)	(5) Conversant 10/1, C&D winner. Below form fourteenth of 22 in handicap (25/1) at this course (7f, heavy). Off 134 days with more needed. Suited by very soft ground, of some interest here with Colin Keane booked.

First run for yard after leaving Craig Lidster with more needed. Early promise in Britain last season, became disappointing, best watched on Irish debut.
15th 15th (15) (10/1 +38%) Timeonourside	10/1(+38%)	(15) Timeonourside 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 20 in maiden at this course (5.9f, heavy, 80/1). Off 139 days. Booking of Hassett a plus so he's much respected on his handicap debut. Ran creditably at a big price in a C&D maiden on final start at two, of some interest now.
16th 16th (3) (28/1 +15%) Livingston Range	28/1(+15%)	(3) Livingston Range 28/1, First run since leaving Leanne Breen when last of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (5f, 18/1) 10 days ago so needs to bounce back. Fit from action at Dundalk but hard to make a strong case for him, best on good ground.
17th 17th (9) (80/1 -567%) Jackie Brown	80/1(-567%)	(9) Jackie Brown 80/1, Respectable fifteenth of 24 in handicap (40/1) at Naas (5.9f, good). Off 6 months. Can give a good account if ready to roll on her return. Only success gained over this trip but on good ground, others have stronger credentials.
18th 18th (2) (80/1 -400%) Amanirenas	80/1(-400%)	(2) Amanirenas 80/1, 10/1, twelfth of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good). Off 6 months. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. All three wins on good ground, out of the money on her final three starts last season.

3 3rd (3) (11/4 -83%) Big Narstie	11/4(-83%)	(3) Big Narstie 11/4, Quirky sort. Course winner. Much improved when winning 9-runner handicap (6/5) at Southwell (7.1f) 8 days ago. Big chance under a penalty. Bang-in-form 6yo who bids to complete a quick hat-trick; commands respect.

5th 5th (10) (6/1 -20%) Angel Amadea	6/1(-20%)	(10) Angel Amadea 6/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 5/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago.

8th 8th (1) (28/1 -300%) How Bizarre	28/1(-300%)	(1) How Bizarre 28/1, Five wins from 20 runs last year. 5/1, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm), all out. More needed up 4 lb in this stronger race back from a 6-month break. In excellent form on turf when last seen but 201-day break may have checked his momentum.
9th 9th (2) (11/1 -57%) Tickets	11/1(-57%)	(2) Tickets 11/1, 11/2, bit below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f). Off 172 days ahead of this debut for new yard and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Makes stable debut from a good mark but has fitness to prove; market may guide.

Others more persuasive. 7f win here for former yard but yet to find his form for this stable; too much to prove.
5th 5th (8) (3/1 -20%) Zumaaty	3/1(-20%)	(8) Zumaaty 3/1, Back from 5 months off when good second of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is one for the shortlist. Good second back from a break last week; promising apprentice booked; major player.
6th 6th (6) (33/1 -32%) The Vik	33/1(-32%)	(6) The Vik 33/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (80/1) at this course (10.2f) 17 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip. Makes limited appeal. Only seen twice since 2022 and well beaten on both occasions.
7th 7th (1) (12/1 -538%) Man Of A'an	12/1(-538%)	(1) Man Of A'an 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted a good third on handicap debut at Newbury (10f, good to firm) in July. Since joined Liam Bailey and must enter calculations on yard/tapeta debut. Promise for H Eustace last season; absent 256 days but could do better this year.

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

Nikovo is interesting on his stable debut after wind surgery but ZUMAATY ran well last week and could be the answer.
