13:30 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (9/1 +50%) Umming N' Ahing	9 9/1(+50%)	(5) Umming N' Ahing 9/1, Fair maiden who failed to improve sent handicapping when fourth in 7-runner contest at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in January. Gelded since. Others preferred.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +17%) Sera Dawn	10 10/1(+17%)	(8) Sera Dawn 10/1, Offered something to work on when fourth of 9 on her Yarmouth debut (6f) but failed to progress at Catterick a week later and was too keen at Chelmsford on her most recent outing.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +17%) Fair Wind	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Fair Wind 5/1, 58,000 gns foal, 52,000 gns yearling, Tasleet gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Major Jumbo and useful/temperamental 2-y-o 6f winner Uncle Jumbo. Dam unraced. One to note on debut. Wears hood.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 -100%) Medici Chapel	7 7/1(-100%)	(7) Medici Chapel 7/1, Fair maiden who ran creditably when third in 6-runner novice at Southwell (5f) 29 days ago. Likely to give her running but remains vulnerable to less-exposed sorts.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 +25%) Storm Fox	12 12/1(+25%)	(9) Storm Fox 12/1, Offered something to work on in a pair of novice events at up to 5.4f in September. Will possibly be of more interest in handicaps after this.
6th	1 6th (1) (2.25/1 +68%) Bright	2.25 2.25/1(+68%)	(1) Bright 2.25/1, Starspangledbanner gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 1m-10.2f winner Sinjaari and 2-y-o 5.7f winner Calypso Choir. Dam ran twice.
7th	3 7th (3) (22/1 +12%) Gimcrack Warrior	22 22/1(+12%)	(3) Gimcrack Warrior 22/1, Muhaarar gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner King of Spirits and 1¼m winner Frankendael. Dam 5f/6f winner.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 -40%) Victors Dream	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Victors Dream 28/1, Oasis Dream gelding. Dam 5f winner. Market for clues.
9th	4 9th (4) (3.5/1 -133%) Popular Dream	3.5 3.5/1(-133%)	(4) Popular Dream 3.5/1, Oasis Dream colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Policy Maker. Well backed and showed ability amidst greenness when third in 7-runner novice at Chelmsford (6f) in December, keeping on. Will improve.

LTO Selection:

MEDICI CHAPEL has been running with credit on the all-weather over the winter months and connections might wonder how she has yet to get her head in front. The daughter of Iffraaj is bred to appreciate further than the minimum trip but she's likely to be allowed the lead here and, if stamina comes into play on forecast soft ground, the others might find it hard to catch her. Popular Dream shaped with promise when finishing a good third at Chelmsford in December and he must enter calculations with improvement likely. Storm Fox ran well on soft ground at Beverley last season and this less demanding finish could see her to greater effect.

POPULAR DREAM showed plenty amidst greenness when third on her debut at Chelmsford in December and seems sure to progress, especially with her yard going well, so she's an appealing candidate. Fair Wind is clear pick of the newcomers before market clues, while it would come as no surprise to see Medici Chapel placed again.

Nicely bred for sprints, FAIR WIND has been found a realistic opportunity on debut. Popular Dream is taken to chase him home.

13:40 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Wouldubewell	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(1) Wouldubewell 2.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who improved to score twice at up to 26f during novice chase campaign. Better than bare result first 2 starts this season but recent exploits have been well below par, last of 4 in mares' handicap at Warwick (3m) 6 weeks ago. Mark continues to ease at least.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.25/1 +9%) Shirocco's Dream	1.25 1.25/1(+9%)	(3) Shirocco's Dream 1.25/1, Successful twice (at up to 20f) over hurdles last term and perfect start over fences with assured round of jumping to land 4-runner mares' handicap at Huntingdon (23.6f) in February. Probably best excused subsequent Taunton run (slipped after fourth) and definite chance here.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (1.88/1 -25%) Emmpressive Lady	1.88 1.88/1(-25%)	(2) Emmpressive Lady 1.88/1, 4-time hurdle winner who left previous chase exploits behind when landing 5-runner Bangor handicap (3m, soft) 11 days ago, length ahead and asserting when left clear last. 3 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent her going well again.

LTO Selection:

EMMPRESSIVE LADY likes a good test of stamina and she looks the pick of the trio set to face the starter. The forecast going should ideally suit the Sue Gardner-trained mare and she is is a strong fancy to follow up after her wide-margin success off 3lb lower in a similar race at Bangor last month. Wouldubewell has faced stiffer tests recently but today's ease in grade can see her in a better light, while Shirocco's Dream has a bit to prove back up in trip.

A tricky small-field affair and it may pay to side with SHIROCCO'S DREAM. Probably best excused her Taunton run last month, she'd previously impressed with her jumping when scoring on chase debut at Huntingdon in February and it would come as no surprise to see her bounce back. Easy Bangor winner Emmpressive Lady can emerge as the chief threat.

Huntingdon winner SHIROCCO'S DREAM can gain a tactical advantage if allowed an uncontested lead and might be the answer.

13:40 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:55 Leopardstown Maiden 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (20/1 -25%) Savethelastdance	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Savethelastdance 20/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 8 in maiden (17/2) at Thurles (8f, soft) on debut, not knocked about. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Should have more to offer moving forward but yard may hold stronger claims elsewhere in this.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 -17%) Boogie Woogie	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(4) Boogie Woogie 3.5/1, Thrice-raced filly. 10/11, third of 10 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy) in October, headed well inside final 1f and no extra. Bred in the purple and strong suspicion she can do better again this term up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (1/1 +28%) Azazat	1 1/1(+28%)	(3) Azazat 1/1, Camelot filly. Attracted support and showed plenty to work on when second in a 14-runner Curragh maiden (7f, heavy) on debut in October, clear of remainder. Longer trip promises to suit on return and sound claims with more to come.
4	10 4th (10) (4.5/1 -35%) Star Galaxy	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(10) Star Galaxy 4.5/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 15 in maiden (12/1) at this course (8f, soft) on debut. Off 172 days. Up in trip. Should progress.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 +0%) Fleadhfest	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Fleadhfest 33/1, Vocalised filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Oh Grace. Dam once-raced sister to smart/moody 1½m winner Via Galilei.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 +44%) Night Blue	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Night Blue 14/1, €14,500 yearling, Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to 1½m-16.3f winner Takarengo and winner up to 7f Herewegodandy. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), half-sister to winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Takarian and winner up to 1m Takar (both smart). Betting should guide on debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (7/1 -8%) All Time Great	7 7/1(-8%)	(1) All Time Great 7/1, Justify filly. Half-sister to 2 winners by War Front, notably useful US 2-y-o 1m winner Caisson. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner (including Ribblesdale Stakes), half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Power. Makes obvious appeal on paper for leading yard.
8th	8 8th (8) (125/1 -25%) Point To Prove	125 125/1(-25%)	(8) Point To Prove 125/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in maiden (33/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) on debut 10 days ago, always behind. Rates a likely longer-term project.
9th	5 9th (5) (125/1 -25%) Fancy Gloves	125 125/1(-25%)	(5) Fancy Gloves 125/1, Twice-raced filly. Thirteenth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, soft, 125/1), merely closing up late. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip and handicaps likely to be more her bag.
10th	2 10th (2) (200/1 +0%) Annorah	200 200/1(+0%)	(2) Annorah 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in maiden (250/1) at Dundalk (1m) in December, headed 2f out and folding tamely. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

AZAZAT made a pleasing debut when second over 7f on testing ground in the Curragh at October and could go one better. Being by Camelot out of a Sea The Stars mare, she should enjoy the step up in trip. She holds an entry in the Irish Oaks. Aidan O'Brien runs three, all with big-race entries. Ryan Moore is on Boogie Woogie who is the most experienced horse in the field with two placings from her three outings. She will handle the ground. Savethelastdance could improve from her opening fifth at Thurles in October. She had subsequent winners in front of her. All Time Great is a regally-bred newcomer by Justify out of a Group 1 winner. She is likely to have a bright future ahead of her, but may not want the ground to be too deep. Star Galaxy is likely to improve on her second start.

AZAZAT displayed plenty of promise when runner-up on debut in a Curragh maiden (7f) back in the autumn and, with progress anticipated in line with the longer trip, she gets the nod to make a winning return. Boogie Woogie was another who showed plenty of ability at 2 yrs and she's feared, with newcomer All Time Great and Star Galaxy completing the shortlist.

The one to beat is AZAZAT who ran a really nice race on debut at the Curragh last autumn when touched off by a decent filly

13:55 Leopardstown Maiden 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:05 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.38/1 +77%) Expressionless	1.38 1.38/1(+77%)	(1) Expressionless 1.38/1, Below form over longer trip when last seen in October but had made the frame in a couple of maidens previously and is not out of things.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 +36%) Macho Sun	9 9/1(+36%)	(4) Macho Sun 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 200/1). Off 159 days/gelded. Step forward required to take a hand here.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 -180%) Invested	3.5 3.5/1(-180%)	(3) Invested 3.5/1, Improved on debut form when taking 7-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 13/8) 39 days ago, comfortably. Tries longer trip now and further progress may be forthcoming.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -122%) Goldkit	5 5/1(-122%)	(2) Goldkit 5/1, Made the frame all 4 starts to date, latest when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago. Holds solid claims on switch to turf.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +43%) Zara's Return	4 4/1(+43%)	(5) Zara's Return 4/1, Below par when last seen in August but had posted fair form previously and must enter calculations on return to action.

LTO Selection:

INVESTED kicked clear to score over 6f at Chelmsford in February and, with stamina in her pedigree, a step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Her biggest danger could arrive in the form of Goldkit, who continues to run well in defeat and she may relish the switch to turf. Expressionless outran her odds in a valuable auction race at Newmarket first time out and, though he failed to kick on, Dylan Cunha's gelding is likely to have strengthened up over the winter and should not be underestimated.

GOLDKIT has proved consistent on the AW this winter and can get off the mark at the first time of asking on turf. Invested is progressive and rates the principal danger.

The change of surface poses a big question but INVESTED and Goldkit, who have been in AW action this year, top the list.

14:05 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:15 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5.5/1 +27%) Oscars Moonshine	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(5) Oscars Moonshine 5.5/1, Completed a hat-trick sent handicapping in October 2020 (last win here). Seemingly had his problems since, though, and hasn't troubled the judge in 4 starts this term. Tried in cheekpieces now.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -33%) Enjoy Your Life	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Enjoy Your Life 16/1, Fairly useful ex-French winning hurdler but made little impact on UK debut for new connections at Warwick last month.
3	9 3rd (9) (4.5/1 +55%) Great Ocean	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(9) Great Ocean 4.5/1, Sole Rules success came over hurdles here last year for Philip Hobbs. Held back by jumping over fences for new yard but was running creditably when unseating late on back in this sphere at Doncaster last month and could be a player.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 -17%) Cluain Aodha	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Cluain Aodha 7/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, soft) 14 days ago, pushed out. 6 lb rise fair and is one for the shortlist.
5th	10 5th (10) (4/1 +33%) Hatos	4 4/1(+33%)	(10) Hatos 4/1, Made a winning start over hurdles at Chepstow in January 2022 but has been rather underwhelming since, including over fences. However, lack of stamina an excuse back in this sphere latest and top amateur booked now returned to more suitable trip. Engaged 3.30 Fontwell Tuesday.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 +38%) Longshanks	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Longshanks 10/1, Off the mark over fences in handicap at Exeter in March of last year but not gone on from that and ran poorly back in this sphere latest.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 -14%) Caspers Court	4 4/1(-14%)	(8) Caspers Court 4/1, Backed up his C&D victory in February by easily taking 9-runner handicap hurdle (3/1) at Exeter (21.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Raised 7 lb since but looks sure to go well again.
8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 +22%) Seelotmorebusiness	7 7/1(+22%)	(2) Seelotmorebusiness 7/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2020 who scored on return from 15-month absence at Huntingdon (20.7f) on Boxing Day. Disappointed here since, though, and bit to prove now.
9th	1 9th (1) (22/1 -83%) Good News	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Good News 22/1, Won 5 times in 2022, the fifth coming at Kempton (24.5f) in November. Not at his best when fading into fourth at Fontwell on Boxing Day and given a break since.

LTO Selection:

Following a C&D success, CASPERS COURT proved his mettle when he ran away with a class 5 handicap hurdle at Exeter 26 days ago and he could be hard to peg back again despite a 7lb higher mark. This is a deeper race as Cluain Aodha arrives in good form and has to be respected, but Good News is of more interest dropping back in trip and he may be the main threat to the selection.

This can go to CASPERS COURT, who arrives at the top of his game and remains feasibly treated. Cluain Aodha and Hatos can also make their presence felt.

The cheekpieces are taken to help OSCARS MOONSHINE cash in a competitive mark, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Caspars Court.

14:25 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 +0%) Sweet Mist	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(4) Sweet Mist 2.5/1, 14/1, good second of 8 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 9 days ago, not clear run over 1f out and running on. Not taken lightly.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -122%) Revolutionary Man	10 10/1(-122%)	(2) Revolutionary Man 10/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Respectable second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) in November, headway when short of room entering final 1f and keeping on well.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +13%) Almodovar Del Rio	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Almodovar Del Rio 7/1, Shed maiden tag in first-time cheekpieces at Brighton (6f) in July and similar form on back of an absence when fourth in 12-runner C&D handicap when last seen in November. Not seen again since but this arguably a little less demanding.
4	8 4th (8) (20/1 -25%) Coast	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Coast 20/1, Successful twice over 6f here last year and bounced back to form from out of the blue when second over that trip back here 11 days ago, leading inside final 1f and headed line. Whether she can back that up is open to question, however.
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 +25%) My Boy Jack	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(6) My Boy Jack 4.5/1, In first-time blinkers, off the mark over 6f here in February prior to good second at Southwell (6f). Latest Lingfield run has to go down as a disappointment but he's a likely candidate to bounce back.
6th	1 6th (1) (3.5/1 -17%) The Nail Gunner	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(1) The Nail Gunner 3.5/1, Course winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. 9/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 33 days ago, edged out post. Expected to be thereabouts despite a less-than-ideal draw.
7th	9 7th (9) (8.5/1 +39%) Suzi's Connoisseur	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(9) Suzi's Connoisseur 8.5/1, Snapped a long losing run in 8-runner Lingfield handicap (7f) in March and unlucky not to finish closer when fifth back at that venue 7 days ago, short of room home turn and nearest at the finish. Entitled to give another good account in this groove.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 +30%) Cailin Saoirse	14 14/1(+30%)	(5) Cailin Saoirse 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 25/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -12%) Kodi Gold	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Kodi Gold 28/1, 25/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago, weakening last ½f. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

LTO Selection:

The Nail Gunner was only beaten a short head over this trip at Lingfield last time and he was only raised 1lb for that effort, which gives him every chance of being thereabouts once more. However, preference is for ALMODOVAR DEL RIO, who returns from a break after running with great credit over C&D. In addition, the four-year-old is less exposed than most of these and is only 2lb higher than his last winning mark. Suzi's Connoisseur completes the shortlist.

THE NAIL GUNNER quickly returned to form when runner-up over this trip at Lingfield 33 days ago and gets the nod to build on that and come out on top with all 3 of his previous victories having come at this venue. Sweet Mist, Almodovar Del Rio and Suzi's Connoisseur head up the dangers.

A few with chances but SWEET MIST got back on track with her recent second here and returning to 7f is a bonus.

1	8 1st (8) (3.5/1 +22%) The Prairie	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(8) The Prairie 3.5/1, Once-raced colt. Fourth of 10 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 12/1) on debut, never nearer. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Should progress and merits plenty of respect.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +40%) Duke Cador	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Duke Cador 6/1, Twice-raced colt. 11/1, sixth of 15 in maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy). Off 169 days. Remains with potential.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 +33%) New Variant	22 22/1(+33%)	(4) New Variant 22/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Below form ninth of 20 in maiden at Naas (8f, heavy, 22/1). Off 150 days. Up in trip.
4	9 4th (9) (4.5/1 +36%) Walsingham	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(9) Walsingham 4.5/1, Thrice-raced colt. 7/1, fourth of 20 in maiden at Naas (8f, heavy), met some trouble. Off 150 days. Up in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 -78%) Harsh	4 4/1(-78%)	(3) Harsh 4/1, Twice-raced colt. Second of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (9f, soft, 11/4), clear of rest. Off 179 days. Will take the beating.
6th	5 6th (5) (66/1 -32%) No Big Deal	66 66/1(-32%)	(5) No Big Deal 66/1, Zoffany gelding. Brother to useful 1m winner Good Heavens. Worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 -25%) Dubawi Delight	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Dubawi Delight 10/1, 425,000 gns yearling, Dubawi gelding. Brother to smart 1m-1¼m winner Maydanny and half-brother to numerous winners, including very smart winner up to 11f Elarqam.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -100%) Pinot Gris	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) Pinot Gris 50/1, €8,000 foal, 25,000 gns yearling, Mastercraftsman gelding. Dam, 1½m/12.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Zanughan.
9th	7 9th (7) (2.75/1 +0%) The Black Tiger	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(7) The Black Tiger 2.75/1, Justify colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 7.5f/1m winner Ancient Rome, useful 2-y-o 6f winner Etoile. Of obvious interest on debut.

LTO Selection:

The 87-rated WALSINGHAM has each-way claims. Although vulnerable to a decent newcomer, the form of his fourth in a big field on heavy ground over 1m at Naas in November has been well franked. Harsh has posted two solid efforts on slow ground. He stayed on for fourth over an extended 1m at Galway in September and improved upon that when getting to within half a length of the winner in second at the Curragh the next month. Again, Aidan O'Brien fields three horses including debutant The Black Tiger who is by Justify and has Ryan Moore up. The Prairie was noted keeping on well for fourth on debut at Killarney towards the end of last season. The ground was testing that day, so the experience will stand to him. Dubawi Delight is by Dubawi out of a multiple Group 1 winner and made 425,000 guineas at Tattersalls. A market check is imperative.

HARSH sets a good standard and may do better still, so he's a straightforward choice despite the presence of an interesting newcomer in the shape of The Black Tiger. The Prairie is open to improvement, so he also merits strong consideration.

Moore is on the newcomer The Black Tiger which is significant but DUKE CADOR ran well on soft ground in a good maiden at Gowran

1	6 1st (6) (4/1 -129%) Regheeb	4 4/1(-129%)	(6) Regheeb 4/1, €80,000 foal, New Approach colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1¼m New Treasure, closely related to 7f/1m winner Thrifty One and half-brother to useful 7f winner Aerialist. Interesting newcomer.
2	12 2nd (12) (50/1 +38%) Awesome Georgie	50 50/1(+38%)	(12) Awesome Georgie 50/1, 4,000 gns yearling, Awtaad filly. Half-sister to 1¼m-1½m winner Teofilo Star. Likely to need this initial experience.
3	5 3rd (5) (1.38/1 +54%) Bleak	1.38 1.38/1(+54%)	(5) Bleak 1.38/1, Half-brother to a couple of winners and shaped with promise when fifth in a novice at Newcastle. Will have learned plenty from that, so he's worth a chance to open his account.
4	9 4th (9) (11/1 +0%) Military Tycoon	11 11/1(+0%)	(9) Military Tycoon 11/1, Related to winners but will need to step up markedly from his debut if he's to land this.

6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -71%) Yeoman	12 12/1(-71%)	(7) Yeoman 12/1, Stepped forward from his debut when fifth at Kempton last time and further improvement would put him in the mix back from a break.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 -52%) Stan	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Stan 50/1, Signs of ability in two starts to date, but handicaps after another run are more likely to see him get competitive.
8th	1 8th (1) (125/1 -89%) Gonnetot	125 125/1(-89%)	(1) Gonnetot 125/1, Yet to show any ability, so easily passed over.

11th	4 11th (4) (4/1 -14%) Bauhinia Rhapsody	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Bauhinia Rhapsody 4/1, Placed on two of his three starts last year and appeals as the type to do better as a 3-y-o (gelded since last seen). Sets the standard and demands respect.
12th	3 12th (3) (11/1 +78%) The Waiting Game	11 11/1(+78%)	(3) The Waiting Game 11/1, From an excellent family but hasn't shown enough to date to make her of serious interest in this.

LTO Selection:

Bauhinia Rhapsody sets the standard with an official rating of 76 and he's likely to make his presence felt, along with Bleak, who made a promising debut at Newcastle 22 days ago despite racing freely. However, the vote goes to MILITARY TYCOON, who wasn't beaten far by a potentially smart rival, Yaanaas, first time out. Jim Crowley alluded to the latter having the ability to contest much stronger races in the upcoming season, giving a solid look to the form. With improvement likely from Hugo Palmer's charge, and in the hands of promising apprentice Harry Davies, he could open his account.

BLEAK made a promising start and should improve plenty, so he takes marginal preference over Bauhinia Rhapsody, who has the best form to date. Regheeb strikes as a notable newcomer.

The William Haggas-trained BLEAK showed promise when fifth on his debut at Newcastle three weeks ago and earns the vote.

1	9 1st (9) (7.5/1 +77%) My Rockstar	7.5 7.5/1(+77%)	(9) My Rockstar 7.5/1, After 9 months off, went with a glimmer of promise when mid-field in handicap at Taunton (18.2f) on chase debut in December. However, failed to build on that effort at the same C&D next time and he remains with little form.
2	5 2nd (5) (2/1 +11%) Hard Frost	2 2/1(+11%)	(5) Hard Frost 2/1, Bred for chasing and improved on his hurdles form at the first attempt over fences when runner-up in handicap at Market Rasen (17.2f) 15 days ago, just failing. Open to improvement and can get off the mark back up in trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -8%) Begin The Luck	7 7/1(-8%)	(4) Begin The Luck 7/1, Twenty runs since his last win in May 2021 but has made the frame on his last 2 starts, only narrowly denied when runner-up in handicap hurdle at this course (19.8f) last month. Task is build on his recent form as he now goes over fences.
4	8 4th (8) (5.5/1 +31%) Broadoak	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(8) Broadoak 5.5/1, Lightly-raced 8-y-o who has been going the right way sent chasing this season, a late mistake proving costly when runner-up in handicap over C&D a month ago. Can give another good account.
5th	2 5th (2) (2/1 -14%) Ithaka	2 2/1(-14%)	(2) Ithaka 2/1, Didn't show much over hurdles for Ronan McNally in Ireland and on first 3 starts for his current yard. However, dropped in grade, justified strong support when landing handicap at this course (21.4f) 9 days ago. Not taken lightly on chase debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (20/1 +20%) Toad Of Toad Hall	20 20/1(+20%)	(6) Toad Of Toad Hall 20/1, Didn't need to improve when off the mark in 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (3m2f) in June. Off 5 months following that success and below form on his 3 outings since, well held at Taunton when last seen in December.

LTO Selection:

Doubts can be cast over all of these for one reason or another and, with that in mind, it might be worth chancing that HARD FROST can cope with a 4lb higher mark which was dished out after his near-miss at Market Rasen last month. The gelding handled an extended 2m5f well enough when he posted another good second at Fontwell three starts back, which bodes well for today's test. Begin The Luck and Ithaka look the pick of the rest.

HARD FROST bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt over fences when runner-up at Market Rasen 15 days ago, closing all the way to the line, and he is open to progress now back up in trip. The 6-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Ithaka, who showed improved form when scoring over hurdles here last time, with Broadoak the pick of the remainder.

Harry Derham's HARD FROST shaped as though this longer trip will suit when going very close on his recent chasing debut.

7th	2 7th (2) (25/1 -56%) Ghassan	25 25/1(-56%)	(2) Ghassan 25/1, Footstepsinthesand colt. Fair form first 2 starts in 7f maiden/novice events last summer but rather disconcerting how quickly he dropped away at Haydock (6f) when last seen in September. Market could prove a useful guide on return/now handicapping.

LTO Selection:

TOTNES makes her handicap debut after getting off the mark last time over C&D and her opening mark could prove to be a lenient one based on the ease of that win. The main danger looks to be Seagrave Fox, who was put up 2lb for his latest effort when caught close home. Rossmore Nation has won two of his five starts for the Michael Appleby stable and is also respected.

TOTNES showed much-improved form after 5 months off when comfortably landing a C&D novice event 25 days ago and with the prospect of more to come now handicapping, she gets the nod to follow up. Seagrave Fox and Rossmore Nation similarly arrive in good order and are feared, whilst Pearl Eye is another worth a look on his return.

This will take a bit of winning but HARLEM NIGHTS (nap) did well to finish third in his final nursery start and he's now gelded.

LTO Selection:

There should be races to be won with BRAZIL on the Flat off a mark of 83. There's no doubt he disappointed when beaten in a match race for a Grade 2 hurdle at Limerick over Christmas but, prior to that, his form had been rock solid and featured Grade 3 victories in Naas and Cheltenham. He will be very much at home on this ground. He won over a mile on deep ground at the Curragh during his juvenile campaign. New Hill was only caught on the line over this trip at Naas in November. The handicapper didn't miss that effort, but she is a contender on her return. Cristal Clere was eye-catching in powering three and three-quarter lengths clear over a mile at this track on Sunday, but it was a race where the pace collapsed. Smooth Tom is another with a chance while first-reserve Purple Gown has started this season well and could enter the equation if getting a run.

CRISTAL CLERE is turned out quickly after winning in good style here 3 days ago and can follow up. Brazil and Dalvey rate the principal dangers.

Sunday's 1m winner Cristal Cleere has good claims but there should be more to come from SMOOTH TOM this year and heavy ground is ok

LTO Selection:

Just Bring It landed the odds at Kempton on his reappearance last month and a subsequent 4lb rise in the handicap could prove lenient, but WOODSTOCK edges the vote. He finished a good second on his racecourse debut having attracted significant market support and the Sixties Icon colt gained immediate compensation, winning his next two starts. The switch to turf should hold no fears and he could provide Jack Channon, who has enjoyed a productive start to his training career, with another winner. Racingbreaks Ryder should relish the forecast ground conditions and he merits respect on his handicap bow.

JUST BRING IT boasts a progressive profile and had something to spare when scoring at Kempton recently, so he should take the beating if he proves as effective back on turf. Woodstock arrives on a hat-trick and is a big danger, while Goodfella is worthy of interest having set a solid platform in 3 runs last season.

Topweight JUST BRING IT was a well-backed winner on his reappearance at Kempton last month and is taken to follow up.

LTO Selection:

BOOM BOOM has struggled so far over hurdles and failed to complete when last seen at Chepstow. That said, the five-year-old could still play a leading role in a race of this nature if putting in a clear round of jumping. Dylan's Double remains unexposed and is likely to be in the mix, while Queens Fortune and Gun Runner Cash are the pick of the remainder.

Not a lot of depth to this at all and BOOM BOOM is the way to go now faced with by far his easiest assignment over hurdles. Dylan's Double looks in need of a longer trip but is clearly the biggest danger to the selection on what he's shown.

It's unlikely we've seen the best of BOOM BOOM, who has make a shaky start to his hurdling career but looked promising in bumpers.

Pick of his efforts in novice/maiden company came on AW and longer trip on return very much promises to suit. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

LTO Selection:

Fariba is an interesting contender as she steps into much calmer waters than when contesting a Listed race last time and makes her handicap debut taking a step up in trip. However, the vote goes to the George Boughey-trained RAZONI, who hit the line well over 1m at Southwell on his latest start and is only 1lb higher for that display. Moreover, the first-time tongue-tie could aid his chances stepping up in distance, while The Renegade is another to note.

Off the mark at third attempt in novice company at Newcastle (7f) in February, RAZONI matched that level when runner-up on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) 4 weeks ago and he shades the vote to come out on top now his stamina is tested further. The Renegade and Blue Universe head up the dangers in an interesting race.

Razoni has the benefit of some recent action and won't be far away, but BLUE UNIVERSE is interesting now raised in trip.

LTO Selection:

Everything looks in place for a big run from HOMELESS SONGS. Dermot Weld's star filly was impressive in slamming the Irish 1,000 Guineas field at the Curragh last May. Afterwards, she was minded from fast ground before finishing fourth in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September and then she disappointed in a Group 1 at Newmarket in October. It is worth noting that she wasn't at her best in the previous autumn as well. This could be more her time of year and she is well clear of her rivals on official ratings. In addition, she has won on seasonal debut before. Buckaroo has plenty of class and finished sixth in last season's Irish 2,000 Guineas. He has run well fresh before. Mea Domina is the dark horse. She has joined Paddy Twomey after winning twice in her native France including in Listed class when last seen in October. She is proven on heavy ground. Power Under Me is up in class, but showed a real aptitude for 1m in Listed class over C&D in October. He will love the ground.

Having looked destined for the very top, HOMELESS SONGS failed to finish her race off both starts in the autumn having missed the summer. She's in top hands though and this is a huge drop in class so she can hopefully get her career back on track. Power Under Me won on last season's reappearance at this level and rates the pick of the opposition.

There is no doubt on the ground about SALTONSTALL who carried last season's form through to an agonising defeat in the Lincoln

3	7 3rd (7) (33/1 -83%) Jon Snow	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Jon Snow 33/1, Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins. Low-key stable debut over hurdles but fitted with blinkers, he showed a bit more on the level at Kempton last month. Did have the run of the race on that occasion.

10th	11 10th (11) (11/1 +45%) Tin Fandango	11 11/1(+45%)	(11) Tin Fandango 11/1, Just about a career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Newbury (16f, heavy) in October. 5 lb rise and or return to the AW enough to prevent the follow up a month later. May just need this.
11th	4 11th (4) (25/1 -79%) De Vega's Warrior	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) De Vega's Warrior 25/1, Has never stood much racing and shaped as though better for the run on AW reappearance 3 weeks ago. Worth another go at 2m with that under his belt.

LTO Selection:

It might pay to side with the Michael Bell-trained HAARAR in what would appear to be a wide-open contest. He kept on powerfully over 1m4f at Newmarket when last seen, only to be narrowly denied by a well-treated rival. His pedigree, along with that effort, would offer hope that he can stay the marathon trip and connections could use this as a springboard to other staying events over the upcoming turf season. Three-time hurdles winner Coquelicot remains open to improvement in this sphere, while Orin Swift has dropped to his last winning mark and he could be involved.

TUDDENHAM GREEN retains plenty of potential as a staying handicapper and fit from a hurdles win in a match a fortnight ago, he has a lot in his favour. Haarar returns with his yard among the winners so he's a threat, with Orin Swift completing the shortlist given his good record fresh.

Orin Swift and Tin Fandango can go well but this may be decided by the less exposed pair COQUELICOT and Tuddenham Green.

LTO Selection:

In a moderate event it is hard to oppose GALLOPADE, who has improved with every start over hurdles and the form of his narrow defeat at Ludlow a couple of weeks ago puts him well clear here. Diamond Egg was well held when third at Newbury last time but may improve for a first-time tongue-tie. West End Boy and Royal Max are others who merit a place on the shortlist.

Dual-bumper winner GALLOPADE is getting the hang of things over hurdles now and this looks a good opportunity. Royal Max showed something to work on when fifth in a Ludlow maiden 6 weeks ago and is the obvious threat in what looks a weak maiden.

The one with least to prove is GALLOPADE, who was only collared in the closing stages by the warm favourite at Ludlow a fortnight ago.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up over this trip at Southwell on his most recent outing in January, RAY VONN can shed his maiden tag at the sixth time of asking on his debut for Ben Brookhouse. Star Sound has shown enough on both of her career starts to suggest that she can play a hand here, while newcomer Pearly Star is another to bear in mind.

STAR SOUND shaped well both starts at Newcastle during the autumn and with improvement expected as a 3-y-o, she's selected to make a winning reappearance. We haven't seen the best of Wall Game either and he's a threat, while debutantes Pearly Star and Desert Swirl represent successful yards and a market move for either would have to be taken seriously.

The two newcomers need checking in the betting but as things stand preference is for NATIVE BEACH, who made a promising return.

LTO Selection:

FARNBOROUGH is one of two Aidan O'Brien representatives and looks to have solid claims. He was beaten half a length into second in a 7f maiden at Dundalk in November, and the horse two and a-half lengths behind him in third has been good enough to easily win a Curragh maiden last month. Fleetfoot was placed in all three starts, on better ground, in his juvenile campaign. His third at the Curragh behind a subsequent Group 1 winner is strong form. O'Brien's Canute gets blinkers after a debut fourth on fast ground at the Curragh last summer. He's superbly bred by US sire Quality Road out of a top-class mare, but deep ground may not see him at his absolute best. Ger Lyons introduces a pair of newcomers and Colin Keane takes the ride on Tipsy Scholars.

FLEETFOOT sets a solid standard and narrowly shades the vote over Aidan O'Brien's pair Farnborough and Canute, who both have potential.

The standard is set by FLEETFOOT on his three summer maiden runs last year and he is the one to beat if he handles the ground

Easy to back and never figured on nursery debut at Newmarket (9f, soft) later that month and she may just find a couple too good on return to action.

LTO Selection:

Each of these have the scope to progress up in trip, so only a tentative vote can go to ROADWAY. The 300,000-dollar purchase, a half-sister to Group 2 winner Storm The Stars, perhaps paid the price for pressing the pace at Wolverhampton last month. That shouldn't be the case here, however, and in receipt of weight all round (when factoring in Benoit De La Sayette's 3lb claim), she could get her head in front. Entrancement won here in October and that track craft could prove vital as she looks to mount another serious challenge on her stable debut for David Menuisier, while Reflective Star merits the utmost respect as the Godolphin juggernaut attempt to continue their dominance.

The market should prove informative but ENTRANCEMENT proved her effectiveness under these conditions when making her final start for Harry Dunlop a winning one over 1m here in the autumn and she shades the vote now tackling this longer trip. Peace of Mine and Reflective Star are others to consider, whilst Fantizzy is also well worth keeping an eye on.

Having won on soft ground over the extended 1m at this track last October for Harry Dunlop, ENTRANCEMENT (nap) has the least to prove.

9th	1 9th (1) (1.75/1 -59%) Tallulah Myla	1.75 1.75/1(-59%)	(1) Tallulah Myla 1.75/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/2) 4 days ago, impressively. Open to further progress and will take all the beating under a penalty.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -178%) Marinakis	50 50/1(-178%)	(7) Marinakis 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in minor event (25/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 99 days and more realistic chance now handicapping.
11th	10 11th (10) (80/1 -264%) Cloudy Breeze	80 80/1(-264%)	(10) Cloudy Breeze 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in minor event (12/1) at this course (7f) 35 days ago. Makes handicap debut and may do better.

LTO Selection:

TALLULAH MYLA made a pleasing return off a short break when scoring over this trip at Chelmsford on Saturday and she can secure a double here. A 6lb penalty looks unlikely to stop her, especially given she kept on to win by three and a quarter lengths. Beauld As Brass was last seen securing a comfortable victory over C&D in October and he is feared, while Full Prime completes the shortlist.

TALLULAH MYLA looked well ahead of her opening mark when impressively making all at Chelmsford last week and should take a bit of stopping under a penalty. Missing You and Beauld As Brass are a couple with solid each-way claims.

Full Prime can go well again but TALLULAH MYLA looked well ahead of the handicapper on Saturday and can defy her wide stall.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2.75/1 +17%) Puffin Bay	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(6) Puffin Bay 2.75/1, C&D winner who has been pretty disappointing in handicaps for Oliver Sherwood but lurks on a handy mark starting out for an up-and-coming yard. Tongue strap on for 1st time and market support would look interesting on first run since July.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 -17%) Lady Adare	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(1) Lady Adare 3.5/1, Made all in a bumper for Micky Hammond and completed straightforward tasks when winning first 3 starts over hurdles in 2021/22. Lost her unbeaten record with a bit of a whimper on her return at Taunton in January and has had a breathing operation since.
3	8 3rd (8) (2.75/1 +45%) Petticoat Lucy	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(8) Petticoat Lucy 2.75/1, C&D winner who bounced back to form when fourth at Fontwell in February and backed that up in a far better-quality contest when third at Chepstow (2m) last time. Well worth considering back against her own sex.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +71%) No No Tonic	3.5 3.5/1(+71%)	(2) No No Tonic 3.5/1, Likeable mare who enhanced an excellent course record when scoring easily over C&D on Boxing Day. Fine runner-up efforts at Chepstow next 2 outings but found her run of good form coming to an abrupt halt at Fakenham last time. Bounce back needed.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 +31%) Amelia's Dance	11 11/1(+31%)	(5) Amelia's Dance 11/1, Added to an excellent record at Taunton when getting off the mark for the season there in December. However, needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 +14%) Addosh	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Addosh 12/1, Proved better than ever when recording a third success over hurdles at Southwell in June. Held in fifth when falling last at Uttoxeter next time and then suffered a tack problem at Hereford. Folded on most recent Flat outing, so returns to this code with a bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

LADY ADARE may have disappointed on her return at Taunton in January but she remains a talented mare, who was unbeaten before that. She can bounce back to winning ways for her in-form connections, while Amelia's Dance and Petticoat Lucy are capable of being in the shake-up as well. The former is feared most on the basis that she was beaten less than a length into second off this mark at Taunton three starts ago.

PUFFIN BAY has been a bit disappointing so far in handicaps, but she lurks on a handy mark setting out for a progressive new yard following a break, so could easily revive. Petticoat Lucy looks to be coming to the boil again and is feared most.

Harry Derham has made an impressive start to his training career and C&D winner PUFFIN BAY (nap) may provide him with further success.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +11%) Bang On The Bell	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Bang On The Bell 4/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. 12/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 8 days ago. Others make more appeal.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.1/1 +63%) Em Jay Kay	1.1 1.1/1(+63%)	(3) Em Jay Kay 1.1/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in February. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 4 days ago, left poorly placed. Should go well again.
3	4 3rd (4) (6.5/1 -63%) Josies Kid	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(4) Josies Kid 6.5/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 8 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Merits respect.
4	5 4th (5) (4.5/1 -64%) Glorious Charmer	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(5) Glorious Charmer 4.5/1, 5-time course winner. Latest win here in March. 3/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 11 days ago. Likely to be on the premises.
5th	1 5th (1) (8.5/1 -113%) Soul Seeker	8.5 8.5/1(-113%)	(1) Soul Seeker 8.5/1, 11/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D. Off 156 days. Potentially well treated and worth monitoring in the betting on seasonal debut.

LTO Selection:

This could go the way of EM JAY KAY, who finished a fair third over 6f at Chelmsford on his latest outing. He retains the mark from that run, which makes the gelded son of Brazen Beau of additional interest, although it would be foolish to dismiss Glorious Charmer having proven exceptionally consistent of late. Josies Kid sports a first-time visor and is another of interest.

EM JAY KAY has been in excellent form of late and, if the pace is sound, he's likely to resume winning ways in a thin race. Glorious Charmer is an obvious danger and Josies Kid can't be ruled out.

A tight handicap. EM JAY KAY is a course winner who held his own in a higher grade four days ago and he's tactically versatile.

LTO Selection:

SUPERIOR FORCE is match fit from a placed effort at the Curragh last month and blinkers are applied. He attracted plenty of support that day and was beaten just over two and a-half lengths into fourth. The runner-up boosted the form with a victory at this track. All Lies Ahead has to rate a serious danger. She won her maiden on ground with plenty of cut in it at Killarney in May and then finished second on handicap debut (in a much higher grade) at Gowran Park when last seen in June. Cavallo Pazzo is a handicap debutant, up in trip, with a fair chance. He showed a real fondness for heavy ground last season in finishing second at Navan and then in winning his maiden at Naas. Yudish Geerdharry's 10lb claim has Loingseoir on an appealing mark. The handicapper has given Zephron a chance.

ALL LIES AHEAD is very lightly raced for a 5-y-o and there's every chance she can improve again this year. Her mark looks attractive so she's the way to go, for all Cavallo Pazzo has been crying out for 7f. Hightimeyouwon completes the shortlist.

A potential long shot that appeals is MAJESTIC COLT from a stable bang in form. He is down to a very workable mark and likes an ease

3	3 (3) (14/1 -40%) Angel's Voice	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Angel's Voice 14/1, Matched debut form when third of 9 on nursery debut at Southwell (8.1f) in this headgear in October, but vulnerable to improvers off similar mark starting out for new yard now.

LTO Selection:

ECTOCROSS took a marked step forward on what he'd shown in novice events to make a successful handicap debut at Lingfield last month. Simon Dow's colt was value for much more than the winning margin would suggest, having been short of room in the closing stages, and a subsequent 2lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to halt further progress. Dog Fox ought to benefit from a step up in trip and he's one to monitor closely in the betting market ahead of his handicap bow, while similar comments apply to the Charlie Johnston-trained Peaceful Night.

ECTOCROSS proved a different proposition upped in trip on handicap bow when coming from last to first at Lingfield on his return last month and should prove hard to beat if handling these different conditions off only 2 lb higher. Peaceful Night and Dog Fox both appeal as the type to do better now stepping up in trip and handicapping so are feared most.

This will be on a very different surface but ECTOCROSS makes most appeal after his last-gasp win in a 1m2f handicap on AW at Lingfield.

LTO Selection:

A fairly weak contest, in which a chance can be taken with DANCING EMPRESS. She makes her handicap bow on her return to action following a disappointing run in a Yarmouth maiden in September, when trained by Tom Clover, and cannot be discounted on her first run for John Butler. Kodias Sangarius and Forever Dreaming rate her most serious dangers.

SHARRON MACREADY ran below form for whatever reason at Southwell last time, but she's worth another chance back up in trip having run well from a 4 lb higher on her penultimate start. Forever Dreaming and Kodias Sangarius are considered the main threats.

A trappy race in which KODIAS SANGARIUS is tentatively preferred to Sharon Macready.

LTO Selection:

LAZY SUNDAY is in the form of her life at present and a 9lb rise for an easy win at Ffos Las may not be enough to stop the nine-year-old bringing up the four-timer. Mongol Emperor appeals as her main danger, having bounced back to form with a decisive success at Doncaster last month. Dreaming Blue and Triple Trade are entitled to be thereabouts too.

LAZY SUNDAY tanked along when completing the hat-trick at Ffos Las last time and appeals as one who can go on to better things again as a chaser, so is fancied to extend her winning sequence. Triple Trade might be one who needs plenty to drop right but he arrives after a trio of positive efforts and merits respect, whilst Dreaming Blue also can't be ruled out after his Doncaster success.

Thriving mare Lazy Sunday is respected but TRIPLE TRADE ran very well in defeat on consecutive starts in February and gets the nod.

LTO Selection:

LEXINGTON KNIGHT was far-from disgraced when headed in the final strides over C&D last month and he looks more than capable of picking up a race of this nature off only 1lb higher. Johnny Boom has failed to justify favouritism on his last three appearances, nevertheless, he arrives on a workable mark and merits consideration now returned to 1m4f. Bearaway's mark has dropped to 1lb below his Windsor triumph in October and he's another to note.

JOHNNY BOOM can boast a good Wolverhampton record and back up in trip, his relative turn of foot at this level could be decisive. Cedar Cage isn't straightforward but he got the job done last week and he can be a factor again, with Lexington Knight likely to give his running again.

Tactics will play their part but granted a good pace to run at then CEDAR CAGE might well repeat last week's course win.

LTO Selection:

REVERBERATION has an each-way chance from a wide draw. There is no doubt that he needs things to fall his way, but it is also fair to say that he is going pop up one of these days. He kept on without threatening in seventh at the Curragh last month and had been running very consistently between December and February at Dundalk. He is down to a mark of 49. Pulse Of Shanghai ran well for a long way off the front in Navan before dropping to third. He is another with a tough draw to overcome. Born Invincible is of interest on her first start for Shane Duffy after moving from Ger O'Leary. The negative is that she has tended to need her first run back off a significant break. Reserve Pallasmore Lass would be a major player if getting into the field. She is on a very handy mark.

PULSE OF SHANGHAI is on an appealing mark and arrives in good order, so he's worth siding with in a race where the majority have something to prove. Leclerc looks a danger and Sadiqaa is one to note starting out for a new yard.

A chance is taken with LISAMARIA who showed promise on handicap bow last year and Wayne Lordan is an interesting booking

Dam winner up to 1m. 66/1, tenth of 11 in novice event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut, slowly away. Off 123 days. Hooded for 1st time.

LTO Selection:

CRACK OF LIGHT made a pleasing start to her racing career when scoring over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in February and there is likely more to come from the daughter of Kingman, even though she has to shoulder a penalty for that win. Sapphire Seas cannot be underestimated for powerful connections, while the unraced Polar Princess adds further spice to the race.

Useful prospects CRACK OF LIGHT and Sapphire Seas both recorded good sectionals when winning their novices at Wolverhampton so look the pair to focus on, with the former marginally preferred. Well-connected newcomer Polar Princess may do best of the others.

The two previous winners Crack Of Light and SAPPHIRE SEAS are closely matched but preference is for the Godolphin filly.

LTO Selection:

ENGLISH SPIRIT relished the step up in trip when winning over C&D a few weeks ago and, with a 3lb rise looking more than fair, he's taken to foil Snooze Lane in his quest to land a hat-trick. Sarah Hollinshead's charge has also thrived at this track and is unlikely to go down without a fight. Seven Pockets would make more appeal over further but he cannot be dismissed off his current mark.

ENGLISH SPIRIT is two from two at Wolverhampton and unexposed over this distance, so he's worth backing in what looks a tightly-knit affair. Seven Pockets is a danger and Snooze Lane is likely to give another good account of himself.

The hat-trick looks in sight for SNOOZE LANE who was good value for his narrow winning margin here last time.

LTO Selection:

BRINGSTY has the ability to win this on his second start for James McAuley. He kept on to get up for fourth on his last start in Dundalk and, before that, he wasn't beaten far in two races on the Polytrack in Dundalk for Pat Downey. Crucially, he won on soft ground during his career in Britain. Gudrun Genberg is one that could show up well at a price. She has to bounce back from a below-par run at Killarney in October, however, that run may have come too quickly after her runner-up spot at Navan five days earlier. Neverfindanother U has been in good form on the Polytrack, but previous efforts on testing ground haven't gone to plan. Shona Mea and Nevada Brave are others to scrutinise.

A tentative vote goes to WAYNE R WALKER, who shaped as if better for the run on his return at the Curragh 11 days ago and is operating from a career-low mark. Nevada Brave and Neverfindanother U are a couple of potential threats in an open race.

By soft ground influence Dragon Pulse, Dundalk winner NEVERFINDANOTHER U may be able to transfer that form to a testing turf surface

8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -300%) Lucky Mascot	80 80/1(-300%)	(2) Lucky Mascot 80/1, After 9 months off, offered little on first run since leaving W. McCreery when last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/1) 32 days ago. Bounce back called for returned to maiden company.

LTO Selection:

Lucky Mascot failed to fire on both her stable and handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month, but she should find this return to maiden company more to her liking and put her experience to good use. She could, however, find newcomer JEFF KOONS too hot to handle. The three-year-old colt is certainly bred to be smart and any market support would increase interest. Swing To The Stars made an encouraging debut when finishing fifth at Chelmsford in March and also merits consideration.

JEFF KOONS makes plenty of appeal on paper and the Derby entrant can get off to a winning start for his leading connections. Of those with experience, Swing To The Stars made an encouraging debut and is feared most with improvement to come, while Ralph Beckett's newcomer Wind In Your Sails completes the shortlist.

The three newcomers all appeal on paper but ISLAND STAR hinted at ability last season and can make a winning stable debut.

LTO Selection:

Lose Your Wad sets a fair standard judged on his debut fourth at Newmarket in October and he could have more to come now switched to the all-weather. ABU ROYAL, nevertheless, makes greater appeal on this opening bid, with Charlie Johnston's colt being a half-brother to some useful sorts, most notably Group 3 winner Nargys, and this looks a good introduction to his career. Prosper Legend is another interesting newcomer to note in the betting market and shouldn't be taken lightly.

ABU ROYAL has a rather precocious pedigree for one making their debut at 3 yrs but he makes plenty of appeal on paper and could well be sharp enough to see off fellow debutant Prosper Legend, whose pedigree appeals as that of a real middle distance type. Lose Your Wad was promising first time up at Newmarket late last season and can also be involved.

Lose Your Wad sets the standard but ROYAL CAPE was finishing his race off well on debut and can take a big step forward today.

LTO Selection:

HE'S A MONSTER was impressive when making all to win on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton last month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from completing the double. Monopolise chases a hat-trick of wins and can't be dismissed, as he brings winning course form to the table and is entitled to have improved again from two to three years. Seductive Power completes the shortlist.

Cases can be made for all four runners, with HE'S A MONSTER fancied to take another step forward and notch up a third win from 4 starts. Seductive Power is feared in a first-time tongue tie with William Buick booked.

Archie Watson's HE'S A MONSTER (nap) created a very favourable impression on his reappearance and can follow up.

2	2 2nd (2) (5.5/1 +39%) Rainbow Fire	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(2) Rainbow Fire 5.5/1, First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden, improved when winning 19-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, good), just holding on. Off 6 months. Remains unexposed for his age.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.5/1 -25%) All The King's Men	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(7) All The King's Men 2.5/1, Promising type. First run since leaving Fabrice Chappet when winning 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 15/8) on UK debut 74 days ago, well on top finish. Open to improvement.
4	3 4th (3) (7.5/1 -15%) Street Kid	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(3) Street Kid 7.5/1, Often thereabouts, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 29 days ago. Likely to continue in form.
5th	6 5th (6) (80/1 -186%) American Star	80 80/1(-186%)	(6) American Star 80/1, 66/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 63 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -43%) Evocative Spark	40 40/1(-43%)	(4) Evocative Spark 40/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Chelmsford City (8f), slowly away. Off 174 days/gelded. First run for yard after leaving George Boughey.

LTO Selection:

KINGDOM COME could not have done it any easier over C&D last time and, despite a hefty 15lb rise, Clive Cox's charge looks well capable of bringing up the hat-trick. He gets the vote ahead of All The King's Men, who was a taking winner on his domestic debut at Lingfield in January and should have more improvement forthcoming. Rainbow Fire can also have a say in proceedings.

KINGDOM COME followed up his novice win in devastating fashion on handicap debut here in February and can complete a C&D hat-trick. All The King's Men took his form to another level when making a winning debut for this yard at Lingfield so rates the main threat ahead of Rainbow Fire.

The handicapper didn't miss KINGDOM COME's runaway win here in February but the unexposed 4yo can make light of his 15lb rise.

1	1 1st (1) (2.25/1 -50%) Donald Llewellyn	2.25 2.25/1(-50%)	(1) Donald Llewellyn 2.25/1, Course winner. 11/10, creditable second of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 68 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Can give a good account.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.75/1 +8%) All About Alice	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(6) All About Alice 2.75/1, 3/1, good second of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 9 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 +18%) Peerless Percy	18 18/1(+18%)	(2) Peerless Percy 18/1, 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has had a breathing operation.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 +50%) King Charles	5 5/1(+50%)	(4) King Charles 5/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 10/1) 32 days ago, needing stiffer test. Not taken lightly off falling mark.
5th	3 5th (3) (2.75/1 +31%) Global Wonder	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(3) Global Wonder 2.75/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 15/2) 28 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Player.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 -29%) Nachos Cheese	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Nachos Cheese 18/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
7th	5 7th (5) (66/1 -200%) Cinzento	66 66/1(-200%)	(5) Cinzento 66/1, Course winner. 40/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f), slowly away. Off 92 days.

LTO Selection:

The step back up in trip should suit DONALD LLEWELLYN, who has the pedigree to excel over this far and a return to the track where he won on his penultimate start is another major plus. Narrowly denied over this trip at Lingfield last time, All About Alice is a leading contender, along with the capable Global Wonder, who has been in decent form of late.

GLOBAL WONDER hasn't been seen to best effect since winning at Chelmsford so is worth another chance. All About Alice and Donald Llewellyn are feared most.

Still shaping as if in form in races not run to suit the last twice, GLOBAL WONDER can account for All About Alice once again.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
