1	9 1st (9) (1.75/1 +22%) Fast Tara	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(9) Fast Tara 1.75/1, Twice-raced filly. Third of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 10/1). Off 6 months. Stiffer test on this ground will suit on return and she can go well.

3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +0%) Hutton Glen	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Hutton Glen 5/1, Aclaim gelding. Dam, 11f-2½m winner, also won over hurdles, half-sister to useful 1½m/12.5f winner Magellan Strait. Bred for further but an interesting newcomer all the same.

9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -100%) Believe Me Now	50 50/1(-100%)	(7) Believe Me Now 50/1, Make Believe filly. Dam unraced.
10th	1 10th (1) (250/1 -25%) Buzzen	250 250/1(-25%)	(1) Buzzen 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 250/1, fourteenth of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, soft), unable to sustain effort. Off 166 days.
11th	10 11th (10) (150/1 -50%) Good Fit	150 150/1(-50%)	(10) Good Fit 150/1, Once-raced filly. Eleventh of 14 in maiden (66/1) at Dundalk (7f) on debut 13 days ago.
12th	12 12th (12) (18/1 -157%) Vikki Wall	18 18/1(-157%)	(12) Vikki Wall 18/1, Twice-raced filly. 2/1, first run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when fourth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (6f), finding less than looked likely. Off 92 days. Significantly up in trip.

LTO Selection:

FAST TARA beat Love Mocha last October and might confirm placings and win. Both the selection and barrier-trialled Love Mocha had previous experience going into Dundalk and while Love Mocha is 4lb better off, Fast Tara has a slight edge. Both are by soft ground-liking stallions. Gunsight ran well on soft at Killarney but disappointed on his latest run in October. Similarly 75-rated Hokusai was keen last year but also showed ability while Vikki Wall, which showed ability on debut, is best watched stepping up to a mile on testing ground. Newcomers are at a disadvantage here although Hotton Glen, already gelded, is out of an Ascot Stakes-winning mare and is by a sprinting stallion. Grey Leader is a half-brother to two capable winners.

This stiffer test of stamina will suit FAST TARA on her return and she showed enough in a brace of juvenile runs to think she can win a maiden. Love Mocha is feared, while some of the newcomers may come to the fore, with Grey Leader and Hutton Glen a couple of likely-looking sorts.

There wasn't much to separate Love Mocha and FAST TARA at Dundalk in the autumn. The latter may be able to confirm the form.

13:50 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (9/1 -6%) Robyndzone	9 9/1(-6%)	(6) Robyndzone 9/1, After 28 months off, shaped as if retaining ability on first run since leaving Fergal O'Brien when fifth of 12 over C&D in November but pulled up in a Plumpton race won by Gold Clermont since. That leaves him with something to prove.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 +0%) Duc De Beauchene	3.33 3.33/1(+0%)	(1) Duc De Beauchene 3.33/1, Scored over fences at Newbury (22.5f) last spring. Not so good this season but his reduced mark reflects that and he's been placed the last twice (C&D first occasion). Thereabouts.
3	5 3rd (5) (1.88/1 +32%) Prince Des Fichaux	1.88 1.88/1(+32%)	(5) Prince Des Fichaux 1.88/1, Fair maiden hurdler, running up to best when second in handicap at Fontwell 19 days ago. Should be thereabouts if taking to fences at the first time of asking.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -25%) Marettimo	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Marettimo 25/1, Three wins last spring. Not in anything like the same form when pulled up in 2 comeback runs in the autumn but could bounce back after wind surgery.
5th	4 5th (4) (5.5/1 +35%) Pottlerath	5.5 5.5/1(+35%)	(4) Pottlerath 5.5/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022, latterly here in October. Even better form when runner-up on his final 3 outings in 2022. Seemed to find 19.5f at Chepstow an inadequate test when remote fourth on his chase debut 6 weeks ago and may fare better now back up in trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (3/1 -71%) Gold Clermont	3 3/1(-71%)	(3) Gold Clermont 3/1, Well suited by the return to fences when scoring twice at Plumpton last month. Won easily on the second occasion and an 8 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent her completing a hat-trick.

LTO Selection:

GOLD CLERMONT is in the form of her life at present and there is no reason to suggest why she can't complete the hat-trick off an 8lb higher mark than last time at Plumpton. Prince Des Fichaux has shown a decent level of form over hurdles and is interesting on his debut in this sphere, while Duc De Beauchene remains very well handicapped.

The thriving GOLD CLERMONT is taken to defy the handicapper and complete a quick chase hat-trick. Duc de Beauchene is down to a mark he can be very competitive from and is feared most ahead of Sam Thomas chase newcomer Prince des Fichaux.

It is hard to escape the claims of GOLD CLERMONT, now that she has found her form.

13:55 Bellewstown Handicap 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (5/1 +29%) Rhythm King	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Rhythm King 5/1, Winner at Gowran in October. 10/3, seventh of 11 in nursery at Naas (5.9f, heavy). Off 151 days. Significantly back up in trip.
2	8 2nd (8) (3.5/1 +36%) Secret Sauce	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(8) Secret Sauce 3.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in maiden (150/1) at Dundalk (7f). Off 134 days/gelded. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Could do better.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -155%) Knockmore Prince	7 7/1(-155%)	(7) Knockmore Prince 7/1, 2/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 21 days ago, just failing. Blinkers on 1st time. Expected to be bang there.
4	4 4th (4) (16/1 -60%) Rio Largo	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Rio Largo 16/1, 11/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 13 days ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (7.5/1 -7%) Master Garvey	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(5) Master Garvey 7.5/1, 20/1, first run since leaving Gerard Keane when creditable third of 14 in handicap at Naas (5f, heavy) 11 days ago, finishing well. One to consider back up in trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 +0%) The Snapper	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) The Snapper 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2 and visored for 1st time, respectable fourth of 16 in nursery at Galway (7f, heavy). Off 157 days. Tongue strap on 1st time. Could have more to offer in 2023.
7th	1 7th (1) (2.75/1 +45%) Givemefive	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(1) Givemefive 2.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, tenth of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, soft), hampered. Off 166 days. Makes handicap debut.
8th	11 8th (11) (40/1 -60%) Not Even Maybe	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Not Even Maybe 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5f, heavy) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 +57%) Indian Outlaw	12 12/1(+57%)	(6) Indian Outlaw 12/1, 100/1, very good sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 34 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
10th	10 10th (10) (33/1 -18%) Trident Star	33 33/1(-18%)	(10) Trident Star 33/1, 33/1, last of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 13 days ago. Stable in good form.
11th	9 11th (9) (50/1 -79%) Jackie Brown	50 50/1(-79%)	(9) Jackie Brown 50/1, Below form eighth of 13 in nursery (9/1) at Dundalk (7f). Off 134 days.

LTO Selection:

GIVEMEFIVE debuts in handicaps. A half-brother to Sandringham Stakes-winning stablemate Create Belief and smart Star Girls Aamaal, he contested hot maidens last year and while well held, nonetheless showed ability, has been gelded since, has a soft-ground pedigree and handicaps should see him in a better light. Rhythm King has useful soft-ground handicap form and ran well enough in the Birdcatcher in November but is vulnerable to an unexposed type. The Snapper defeated the selection in a maiden but was behind Rhythm King last October and reappears in a first-time tongue-tie. Master Garvey has testing-ground form and has place claims. Knockmore Prince has been running well on the all-weather (beating Indian Outlaw last month) but reverts to testing conditions and runs in first-time blinkers.

KNOCKMORE PRINCE has only just failed at Dundalk on his last 2 starts so is ready to strike in a change of headgear. Master Garvey made a positive start for this yard when third at Naas and will appreciate the return to further, so is next best ahead of The Snapper.

Knockmore Prince has been running well at Dundalk but preference is for MASTER GARVEY who is proven in these conditions.

14:00 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (14/1 +50%) City Derby	14 14/1(+50%)	(10) City Derby 14/1, Won for Fergal O'Brien around this time last year but hasn't made much impact in 3 starts for current stable and looks opposable again.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -6%) Butch	2 2/1(-6%)	(1) Butch 2/1, Progressed all 3 starts over hurdles, taking another significant step forward when winning 5-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 19 days ago. Showed good attitude there and opening mark looks more than workable with further improvement expected.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Hurlerontheditch	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Hurlerontheditch 4/1, Presumably not the easiest to train but he ran respectably on handicap debut when third of 10 at Haydock (18.9f, good to soft) 15 days ago and remains relatively unexposed, so no surprise to see him in the mix again.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -11%) Hasty Brook	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Hasty Brook 5/1, Supported in the market and returned to form to finish second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (18.9f, good to soft, 6/1) 15 days ago. Looks competitive on form.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 +11%) Icone D'Aubrelle	8 8/1(+11%)	(5) Icone D'Aubrelle 8/1, Won juvenile hurdle at Bordeaux and produced similar form in 3 runs upon joining present yard last term. Perfectly adequate start over fences when third at Ffos Las (19.4f) in February and he's respected quickly switched back to smaller obstacles (withdrawn on vet's advice last intended start).
6th	4 6th (4) (22/1 +56%) Palm Beach	22 22/1(+56%)	(4) Palm Beach 22/1, Flat/hurdles winner in Ireland who made a successful start for this yard in 3-runner Hexham novice last season. Step back in right direction when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at this course (16f, good) 145 days ago but overall profile this term remains unconvincing.
7th	9 7th (9) (7.5/1 -25%) Montys Medoc	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(9) Montys Medoc 7.5/1, Won at Newton Abbot in September 2021 on penultimate start for Paul Nicholls. Returns from 17-month absence on last winning mark.
8th	3 8th (3) (7.5/1 +38%) Finnthemagician	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(3) Finnthemagician 7.5/1, Perth bumper winner in August who would have likely followed up on Down Royal hurdles debut but for departing at the last. In frame without improving on next 2 starts and is certainly worth market check making handicap debut for new yard.
9th	8 9th (8) (80/1 -100%) Batman For Ever	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) Batman For Ever 80/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser at up to 2½m in France in 2021 but has offered little in 4 starts for current yard. Best avoided unless market speaks favourably.

LTO Selection:

BUTCH shed the maiden tag at the fourth time of asking last month and it would be no surprise were the son of Kayf Tara to kick on now. Hurlerontheditch finished a creditable third at Haydock 15 days ago and he remains capable of better eased 1lb in the handicap, while market support must be noted for Finnthemagician, who makes his stable debut for the Nicky Richards team.

BUTCH looks to have been let in fairly leniently on his handicap debut and he's taken to follow up from his likeable Uttoxeter success. Hasty Brook sprang back to form at Haydock last time and heads the list of dangers, with the lightly-raced Hurlerontheditch another player.

Harry Derham is very much among the winners and MONTYS MEDOC is taken to defy a long absence on his stable debut.

14:10 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -20%) Calin's Lad	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) Calin's Lad 3/1, 13/8, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 7 days ago. Looks well treated under a 4 lb penalty.
2	7 2nd (7) (50/1 +0%) Compere	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Compere 50/1, Cheekpieces on first time, eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (1¼m, 28/1) 26 days ago. Has work to do.
3	6 3rd (6) (8.5/1 +6%) Damascus Finish	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(6) Damascus Finish 8.5/1, Finally came good when seeing off 9 rivals at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, although he benefited from a canny front-running ride and doesn't strike as an obvious type to follow up.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +25%) Rhubarb Bikini	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) Rhubarb Bikini 3/1, Ungenuine C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 33 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.33/1 -11%) Galileo Glass	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(4) Galileo Glass 3.33/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 29 days ago, running on late. Likely to give another good account.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -11%) Simply Gorgeous	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Simply Gorgeous 10/1, C&D winner in February. 4/1, respectable third of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive.
7th	2 7th (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Eagle Eyed Freddie	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(2) Eagle Eyed Freddie 4.5/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 15/2) 12 days ago. Likely to give his running but a 4 lb rise means another career best will be required if he's to follow up.

LTO Selection:

SIMPLY GORGEOUS was beaten by a pair of subsequent winners when finishing third of four in a 0-70 handicap at Lingfield last month. Eased 1lb in the ratings and down in class, it might be worth taking a chance on Phil McEntee's charge, whose sole success to date came over C&D. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Eagle Eyed Freddie must feature prominently in calculations, along with Calin's Lad, who has to carry a 4lb penalty for his win in selling company one week ago.

CALIN'S LAD might be good to land a second win in quick succession. Galileo Glass has been knocking at the door lately and is feared most ahead of Mick Appleby's Eagle Eyed Freddie.

The recent winners Calin's Lad and Eagle Eyed Freddie are respected but this could be the day for GALILEO GLASS to shine.

14:25 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.67/1 +55%) Everyonesgame	0.67 0.67/1(+55%)	(1) Everyonesgame 0.67/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who was well backed when making a bright start over hurdles when second in a Worcester maiden in September. Below that level at Warwick but wasted no time getting back to form when fifth at Newbury (20.5f) in November. Has had a breathing op since. Leading claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.5/1 +22%) Max's Champ	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(3) Max's Champ 3.5/1, Winning pointer who was fair in bumpers and has shown a similar level of form over hurdles, though it wasn't a particularly likeable display tackling a new trip when sixth at Chepstow (23.6f) 18 days ago, merely plugging on. Fitted with first-time blinkers and tongue strap combination.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 -125%) Another Day Out	4.5 4.5/1(-125%)	(5) Another Day Out 4.5/1, Winning Irish pointer at third attempt who shaped with encouragement when second in 8-runner novice at Southwell (15.8f) 17 days ago, rallying back into second crossing last. Step up in trip will suit and open to improvement.
4	8 4th (8) (80/1 -21%) Passing Kate	80 80/1(-21%)	(8) Passing Kate 80/1, Made more impact than previously when sixth in 10-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f) 18 days ago but won't be of interest until handicapping at a low level.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -32%) Internet Biddy	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Internet Biddy 33/1, Just modest form at best in 2 bumpers but shaped better than the distance beaten suggests sent hurdling when fourth at Lingfield (2m). However, jumped erratically when well held at Chepstow since. Up in trip.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (150/1 -88%) There's Lovely	150 150/1(-88%)	(9) There's Lovely 150/1, £2,000 3-y-o, Jeu St Eloi filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Union Park, stays 21f. Best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (9/1 +10%) Hurricane Le Dun	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Hurricane Le Dun 9/1, Offered little in 2 bumpers but slightly more encouraging signs over hurdles, including when fourth in small-field maiden at Ffos Las (21.9f) latest.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (20/1 -43%) Pippin Took	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Pippin Took 20/1, Showed a bit when fourth in 9-runner bumper at Haydock (15.6f, soft) on debut in December. Upped in trip for hurdle debut.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (300/1 -50%) Bellamys Girl	300 300/1(-50%)	(6) Bellamys Girl 300/1, Has shown nothing in a pair of maiden hurdles.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of EVERYONESGAME, who may have been beaten a long way at Newbury when last seen but the form of that race has worked out a treat. Wind surgery in the interim may also aid his cause and the six-year-old gets the vote ahead of the capable Max's Champ and Another Day Out, who ran a promising race on her Rules debut at Southwell last month.

ANOTHER DAY OUT shaped well with a view to stepping up in trip when runner-up on her Southwell debut 17 days ago, so she gets the nod to go one better. Everyonesgame wasn't disgraced in a warm race at Newbury on his most recent outing in November and is an obvious threat returning from a break having also had a breathing operation since last seen. Max's Champ isn't without hope if responding well to headgear.

Although soft ground may be an issue, EVERYONESGAME has the form to win.

LTO Selection:

ELMOS FIRE was well held on his last runs of 2022 but won in June and likes testing ground. He won his maiden over this distance in June and while he failed to build on that, has slipped down the ratings and contests a winnable handicap. Skontonovski's form figures are also uninspiring but has all-weather form this winter and notably won a soft-ground handicap last October, so should get involved. Both Above It All and My Little Tip's form is over seven furlongs on faster surfaces, while Ten To Ten debuts in handicaps from a poor draw. Scarlet Dancer has won just once and would prefer better ground but has slipped to a career low mark.

SCARLET DANCER has won just one of his 25 starts but he's pretty consistent on the whole and should be in the mix if at least matching the level of form he's shown on the AW in recent months now back on turf. James Henry will be a threat if ready to roll on debut for new yard, while Secret Road and Skontonovski are both capable of going well if on-song.

It might be worth taking a chance on TEN TO TEN who showed more on the AW last time. He may come on for that first run in 10 months.

LTO Selection:

Resplendent Grey wasn't disgraced at Huntingdon last month, having won on his debut at Market Rasen in December, and Olly Murphy's gelding appeals as the type to progress now switched from bumpers to hurdles. However, preference is for the Stuart Crawford-trained debutant JOKER DU CHENET. The son of Doctor Dino is related to some smart types and he ought to posses the ability to land a race of this nature. Stablemate Sunshine Girl heads the remainder.

RESPLENDENT GREY created a good impression when landing a Market Rasen bumper on his debut before not being seen to best effect under a penalty at Huntingdon, so he's very much of interest now switching to hurdles in what looks a winnable contest. Newcomer Joker du Chenet makes plenty of appeal on paper and strong market support for him would put a slightly different slant on matters. Super Stars may prove best of the rest.

Those with hurdles experience set a modest standard and this could go to the newcomer JOKER DU CHENET, who has a useful French pedigree

LTO Selection:

AMERICAN BELLE was no match for a progressive rival (now rated 101) when filling the runner-up spot over C&D in November but a similar performance could see her shed the maiden tag at the sixth time of asking. Archie Watson often excels in these types of contests and he boasts a strong hand with Concon Candy, who looks likely to improve on her debut third, and newcomer Hildegard. Any market support for her would be interesting.

CONCON CANDY showed some ability when third at Wolverhampton on debut and she's preferred by Hollie Doyle (stable also has an interesting newcomer), so she's worth chancing despite the fact that she has something to find with the more experienced Puntarelle and American Belle.

Concon Candy and Puntarelle both have chances but preference is for AMERICAN BELLE.

LTO Selection:

A fairly weak contest, in which preference is for YELLOW JACKET, who arrives following a fair second on his chase debut at Ffos Las last month. He loses Peter Kavanagh's 5lb claim here but should not be taken lightly in the hands of Theo Gillard. Lonimoss Bareliere has proven to be capable of better than his latest showing and can bounce back, while Ardmayle is another to note.

YELLOW JACKET made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up at Ffos Las and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better here off just a 1 lb higher mark. Both Ardmayle (second choice) and Lonimoss Bareliere were not at their best last time out but are weighted to have a say if back on their A-games in a handicap where lots have a question mark against them.

After his encouraging chase debut at Ffos Las there should be a big run in YELLOW JACKET, who has the lowest mileage of these.

LTO Selection:

LOVEJOY won a big-field maiden on debut and returns to a suitable surface. The form of her maiden win has worked out nicely (fourth was runner-up recently, fifth-placed won twice subsequently) and while probably unsuited by the all-weather subsequently, has has a break and remains unexposed. Course and distance winner Escaping Thejungle finished second in that Dundalk race and has strong claims but her best form is on a sounder surface. She defeated Polar Bear to win here in September although is now 9lb worse off and Polar Bear has winning soft-ground form, albeit over six-furlongs. Sam's Xpress won two recent all-weather handicaps but reverts to contrasting ground conditions, which is a concern. CD maiden winner Charming Lady was well held on her last handicap run although has form on testing ground. Thunderbear's form is on good ground and runs in first-time blinkers.

SAM'S XPRESS arrives firmly on the up so is strongly fancied to complete a quick hat-trick at the chief expense of C&D winner Escaping Thejungle. Charming Lady didn't enjoy the rub of the green at Dundalk when last seen and appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

ESCAPING THEJUNGLE was last seen finishing runner-up in a Dundalk handicap that's worked out well and her course form is appealing.

4	6 4th (6) (3.33/1 +33%) On The Wild Side	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(6) On The Wild Side 3.33/1, One-time fairly useful hurdler who has lost his way. Stable going better now, though and cheekpieces are tried, so return to form not completely out of the question.

7	7 \|PU\| (7) (33/1 -65%) Rob Royal	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Rob Royal 33/1, Progressive a few seasons back but he hasn't shown much this term. Something to prove down in grade.

LTO Selection:

NO REMATCH has been disappointing since landing a claimer at Leicester in February, but he's favoured at the weights this time around and could get back to winning ways down in grade. First-time cheekpieces could see On The Wild Side improve on recent efforts, while Captain Jack, who hit the crossbar in a similar event five days ago, is another to be interested in.

MARAJMAN has been better than the result on his last two outings and, returned to hurdling with Brian Hughes booked, he could be the answer to a tricky race. Captain Jack looks a solid alternative and On The Wild Side would be a major player if back in form.

It's hard to trust any of these and preference is for the 10yo maiden CAPTAIN JACK who is at least in some sort of form.

LTO Selection:

Things appear to have clicked into place for LETMELIVEMYLIFE, who is 2-3 since joining the Sean Curran yard. He must saddle a 5lb penalty in a deeper race than those successes, but he's less exposed than most and could yet have more to offer. Barging Thru left it late to land a similar C&D event 26 days ago and a first-time visor could unlock further improvement. Revolutionise is fancied to chase them home.

Sean Curran has very quickly found the key to LETMELIVEMYLIFE who is taken to make light of a 5 lb penalty and complete a hat-trick. Secret Strength is more than capable off his current mark and is second choice ahead of Revolutionise.

The in-form LETMELIVEMYLIFE (nap) is beginning to deliver on his 3yo promise and is taken to complete a hat-trick.

10th	6 10th (6) (7/1 -40%) Treyarnon Bay	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Treyarnon Bay 7/1, Bumper winner who hasn't offered much over hurdles but could prove a different proposition now handicapping off a low mark.

LTO Selection:

A 5lb raised mark following a game success over 2m at this track last month looks unlikely to stop I Giorni having a say in proceedings, but it could be worth siding with the reopposing CHANTILLY HAZE. She was only denied by half a length in the aforementioned contest and can reverse that form now 2lb better off with Anthony Honeyball's charge. Treyarnon Bay is another to bear in mind.

I GIORNI impressed with the way she travelled when making a successful handicap debut here and, with the scope for better still, she's fancied to go in again. Treyarnon Bay looks an interesting handicap debutante for a top yard and Mrs Kinsella is interesting starting out for a new yard.

The unexposed I GIORNI (nap) won here recently and can defy top weight over this longer trip.

7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 -186%) Distillate	20 20/1(-186%)	(7) Distillate 20/1, Winner at Dundalk in March. Eighth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Dundalk (7f) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 +55%) Mass Gathering	18 18/1(+55%)	(8) Mass Gathering 18/1, C&D winner. 33/1, twentieth of 23 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, heavy). Off 169 days.
9th	9 9th (9) (40/1 -60%) Bang Po	40 40/1(-60%)	(9) Bang Po 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Naas (5f, heavy) 11 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.
10th	2 10th (2) (25/1 -285%) That's Mad	25 25/1(-285%)	(2) That's Mad 25/1, C&D winner. Last of 11 in handicap (18/1) at the Curragh (5f, good to soft). Off 12 months.

LTO Selection:

TAWAAZON has yet to win on turf but has recent heavy-ground form and is suited by five furlongs. He has been in fine form this winter and was beaten by a 4lb-well-in rival at Navan eight days ago (Ecclesiastical finished sixth, It'll Do My Day seventh) so should comfortably cope with a 3lb hike. Iva Batt is suited by testing conditions and while well held on recent runs, has had a winter's break and drops to a career low rating. Tai Sing Yeh is better over six furlongs and would prefer better ground while Distillate should find the distance too sharp. That's Mad returns from a long layoff.

TAWAAZON travelled fluently for a long way when runner-up at Navan and is weighted to resume winning ways here. Iva Batt is feared most now starting out with Adrian McGuinness, with It'll Do My Day another to consider.

TAWAAZON (nap) is in the form of his life of late and was only narrowly denied at Navan on Wednesday. He gets similar conditions here.

5	5 (5) (7.5/1 +53%) Kannapolis	7.5 7.5/1(+53%)	(5) Kannapolis 7.5/1, Last success came in 3-runner handicap hurdle 12 months ago and yet to fire this season. Likely best watched on switch to chasing.
1	6 1st (6) (22/1 +33%) Sword Of Fate	22 22/1(+33%)	(6) Sword Of Fate 22/1, On a lengthy losing run and no signs of improvement back from a break at Kelso recently.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 -64%) Sao	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(1) Sao 4.5/1, Not successful since bagging 3 victories in 2020/21 but has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and didn't shape too badly (on return from 4 months off) when third at Kelso recently.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +14%) Greenrock Abbey	3 3/1(+14%)	(3) Greenrock Abbey 3/1, Has taken well to fences this season, winning 2 of his 5 starts. Chance undone by bad mistake at Stratford latest and must enter calculations here.
4	9 4th (9) (4/1 +11%) Onesoc	4 4/1(+11%)	(9) Onesoc 4/1, Hurdles winner at Southwell last summer and opened chase account at the fourth time of asking there (15.8f) last month. Not disgraced when third over longer trip at Newcastle since and must be respected.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -106%) First Revolution	33 33/1(-106%)	(7) First Revolution 33/1, Three-time winner at Sedgefield last year but ran badly when last seen at Hexham in September and wouldn't want too much rain on his return to action.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Oscars Leader	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(4) Oscars Leader 3.5/1, Dual chase winner (both 16.3f) last season who returned to form when second of 10 in handicap at Bangor (17.4f, soft) 12 days ago. Races off same mark here and holds strong claims.
7th	2 7th (2) (25/1 +0%) And The New	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) And The New 25/1, One-time useful 2m4f winning hurdler who proved plenty of ability remains when hitting frame twice over fences for present yard last summer. However, struggled more recently and is tough to recommend.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 -33%) Da Vinci Hand	10 10/1(-33%)	(8) Da Vinci Hand 10/1, Yet to trouble the judge in 4 starts this season and makes little appeal despite a tumbling mark.

LTO Selection:

GREENROCK ABBEY may have disappointed at Stratford last time but he had been in excellent form before that and his record since beginning over fences speaks for itself. The seven-year-old can bounce back to winning ways, with the capable Oscars Leader and last month's Southwell winner Onesoc looking best placed to chase him home. First Revolution and Sao are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

OSCARS LEADER is 9 lb below his last winning mark and turned in his best effort of the season at Bangor last month. He can land the spoils. Sao and Greenrock Abbey head the list of dangers.

This may go to GREENROCK ABBEY who has made a solid start to his chasing career and he made a mistake at the wrong time at Stratford.

1	2 1st (2) (4.5/1 +25%) Crescent Lake	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(2) Crescent Lake 4.5/1, 20/1, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m) 33 days ago. Not long with this yard and possible he can build on that.
2	7 2nd (7) (2/1 +50%) Winklevi	2 2/1(+50%)	(7) Winklevi 2/1, Course winner in January. 7/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 7 days ago. Player off the same mark with Hollie Doyle doing the steering.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +53%) Social City	4 4/1(+53%)	(6) Social City 4/1, C&D winner. 13/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1¾m) 7 days ago. Losing run dates back to 2020.
4	1 4th (1) (2/1 +11%) Later Darling	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Later Darling 2/1, Winner at Kempton in February. Respectable sixth of 9 in handicap (2/1) at Lingfield (1½m) 40 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up.
5th	5 5th (5) (20/1 -25%) Choral Work	20 20/1(-25%)	(5) Choral Work 20/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Something to find on form.

LTO Selection:

Several hold chances including Winklevi, who is 1lb well-in and appeals on these terms, whereas Later Darling is respected under top-weight but has to prove his stamina over this new trip. Crescent Lake could also be a factor now he has had a couple of spins for his new yard. However, preference is for dual C&D winner MURHIB, who is still well handicapped despite a 3lb rise after a 2m success last time .

WINKLEVI was back on song when second at Wolverhampton last week and might be able to land a second course win of the year. Veteran Murhib got his head back in front at Lingfield last month and is feared most ahead of Amanda Perrett's Later Darling.

It could be worth chancing CRESCENT LAKE, who has his third start for Gary Moore, is on a handy mark again and this trip could suit.

1	4 1st (4) (7.5/1 -67%) Old Soul	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(4) Old Soul 7.5/1, Winning hurdler in December who matched that form at the second attempt over fences when second of 13 in novice chase (8/1) at this course (20f, heavy) 7 weeks ago.
2	6 2nd (6) (5.5/1 +31%) Takarengo	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(6) Takarengo 5.5/1, Winless since 2021 and arrives below par too, running no sort of race back in cheekpieces in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham Festival (24f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Attentions now turned to the larger obstacles.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 -20%) Gali Flight	3 3/1(-20%)	(2) Gali Flight 3/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 15 in beginners chase at Thurles (20.9f, soft) on debut over fences 24 days ago, bad mistake last. Has good chance with a repeat effort.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -56%) Magheralin Mick	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Magheralin Mick 14/1, Found the test inadequate down markedly in trip when third of 6 in novice hurdle (13/2) at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 5 months ago. Not dismissed on chase debut.
5th	9 5th (9) (8.5/1 +47%) Butterflyvespiere	8.5 8.5/1(+47%)	(9) Butterflyvespiere 8.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, given considerate introduction to chasing after 18 months off when sixth of 8 in beginners chase at this course (20f, soft) on 5 weeks ago. Should progress.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.5/1 +0%) Rolly Bowley Boy	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(5) Rolly Bowley Boy 3.5/1, Promising individual. 2/1, in the process of running well when departing in beginners chase at this course (16.2f, heavy) on debut over fences 16 days ago, still in front when unseated 2 out (sure to have been second at worst). Should feature.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -213%) Top Line Tommy	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Top Line Tommy 50/1, Fair hurdler. 22/1, respectable fourth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, good). Off 9 months. Switches from hurdles to chase.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 +45%) All For Rachel	12 12/1(+45%)	(1) All For Rachel 12/1, Fair hurdler. 40/1, stepped up on chasing debut when seventh of 16 in beginners chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 47 days ago. More needed.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (5/1 +17%) Teescomponentsyess	5 5/1(+17%)	(7) Teescomponentsyess 5/1, Bounced back to form after 3 months off when second of 11 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 7 days ago, clear of remainder. Has failed to complete on both starts in this sphere so far but better expected here.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (125/1 -89%) I Must	125 125/1(-89%)	(10) I Must 125/1, Poor hurdler. 66/1, possibly needed run after 4 months off when ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (24f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Percentage call is to look elsewhere on chase debut.

LTO Selection:

BUTTERFLYVESPIERE is joint-top-rated hurdler at 116 and receives 7lb. She returned from 529 days off when jumping well on chase debut and while she tired, that was a better race and looks sure to improve, albeit she might prefer slightly better ground. Old Soul failed to concede 7lb to a now-128 rated mare over course and distance in February and had previously run well at Punchestown (the runner-up won subsequently). He has strong claims but might prefer further. Rolly Bowley Boy held every chance when exiting on chase debut here last month. He should be more suited by today's distance so can get involved. Gali Flight showed improvement on recent chase debut but is a 21-race maiden. Teescomponentsyess notably ran out over today's same course and distance in February 2022 while Takarengo, third in the 2020 English Cesarewitch, isn't a natural jumper and debuts over fences. Reappearing Magheralin Mick debuts over fences and might prefer summer ground.

Cases can be made for several, but ROLLY BOWLEY BOY was still in front before departing late at this track last month on chasing bow so, provided he's none the worse from that spill, Ciaran Murphy's charge can make amends. Gali Flight went as close to winning as he ever has when finishing runner-up on chase debut last month, so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Teescomponentsyess and Old Soul.

ROLLY BOWLEY BOY was running a big race on chasing debut here last time before falling and is preferred.

1	1 1st (1) (11/1 -22%) Grizzly James	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Grizzly James 11/1, Fairly useful ex-French hurdles winner but yet to score for his current yard and was rather concerningly pulled up sharply 4 out in 3m handicap chase at Ludlow last month.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 +40%) Abaya Du Mathan	12 12/1(+40%)	(5) Abaya Du Mathan 12/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022 and his mark has been tumbling ever since, finishing a well-beaten third at Huntingdon (19.9f, heavy) 9 days ago.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +14%) Family Pot	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) Family Pot 6/1, Won both outings at this venue in February but folded tamely in his hat-trick bid over C&D just under a fortnight ago, found to have lost a shoe. Fancied to bounce back quickly partnered by a handy 3 lb conditional rider.
4	8 4th (8) (2.25/1 +36%) Just Go For It	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(8) Just Go For It 2.25/1, Won her first race in 2 years courtesy of the stewards with a tongue strap refitted at Wincanton early last month and improved further to gain her victory on the track back there (21.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Well held on both previous starts over fences but much better anticipated now.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 -57%) Leskinfere	11 11/1(-57%)	(9) Leskinfere 11/1, Back-to-back Huntingdon winner last March (from marks in the 70s) but largely disappointing this term. However, he seemed to excel himself from 33 lb out of the handicap when third at Market Rasen (19.2f, soft) 8 days ago and has much more realistic claims from his proper mark here.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -522%) Layerthorpe	28 28/1(-522%)	(3) Layerthorpe 28/1, Landed a hat-trick in staying handicap hurdles in 2019 but having offered little on chase debut/return at Ludlow in November, seemed to excel himself in a first-time tongue strap when runner-up at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 3 weeks later. Not seen since, though.
7th	6 7th (6) (12/1 -41%) Loud As Lions	12 12/1(-41%)	(6) Loud As Lions 12/1, Out of form for some time now and the switch back to hurdling at Ffos Las last month failed to spark a revival. More severe headgear reached for back over fences but tough to recommend.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (2.75/1 +58%) From This Moment	2.75 2.75/1(+58%)	(7) From This Moment 2.75/1, No encouragement in 7 starts over hurdles in Ireland (including in handicaps) so will need this switch of yard/to fences to transfigure him (was at least placed on last 3 completed starts in points).
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (9/1 -50%) Higgs	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Higgs 9/1, Dual hurdles winner back in 2018 who proved expensive to follow for Dr Richard Newland. Sold for just £2,500 and yet to make much of a serious impact for this yard, holding his form well enough without getting that close to a first win in this sphere.

LTO Selection:

Only narrowly denied over 2m7f at Taunton in December, LAYERTHORPE could benefit from a shorter stamina test having been headed up the run-in that day and should not be taken lightly off a short break. Just Go For It reverts back to fences following a comfortable success over timber last month and is feared most, ahead of the Sheila Lewis-trained Family Pot.

A few in with chances but LESKINFERE seemed to excel himself from well out of the weights at Market Rasen last week and, back racing from his proper mark in this, he has much more realistic claims of notching a third career success. He gets the nod over Just Go For It, who is expected to leave both previous efforts in this sphere behind after a pair of Wincanton victories over timber last month. Family Pot and Layerthorpe can fight out third spot.

A few of these are of some interest but the consistent HIGGS ought to give supporters a good run for their money.

LTO Selection:

STELLIFY is an absolute mud-lover and might return to her best. All her form is on testing ground and while well held on recent runs, contested a stronger race at Navan, has dropped 2lb and is race-fit. Bolero is an eight-year-old 16-race maiden mare but has her chance, despite a poor draw in 17. She too is suited by testing conditions and while she has thrice been beaten by the selection, her most recent runs were consistent, today's rider claims 5lb and has returned following a break. Theonewedreamof has form both on the flat and over hurdles and is race-fit while Carslake improved on heavy ground over hurdles recently and has place claims under a feather weight. Quirky but capable Dollar Value will be unsuited by testing ground while Too Bright has winning form on easy ground but mightn't want heavy.

THEONEWEDREAMOF caught the eye with a strong finish over hurdles at Thurles last time and, with cheekpieces back on, he makes most appeal. Dollar Value's mark looks potentially favourable as he returns to the Flat and Bolero should play a part if she's tuned up for her return.

A good fourth over this trip on testing ground at the Curragh last autumn, THEONEWEDREAMOF has been in fine form over hurdles of late.

6th	4 6th (4) (4/1 -14%) Fiadh	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Fiadh 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when landing 9-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D 16 days ago by 4½ lengths from Rumble B. Up 5 lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 +70%) Velasco	20 20/1(+70%)	(1) Velasco 20/1, Twice runner-up for Tom Lacey last season but his jumping became an increased issue and that problem has again been on show for this yard. Easy to look elsewhere.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -20%) Just Jess	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Just Jess 12/1, Scored at Catterick (25f) on New Year's Day but pulled up at Hexham three weeks ago. Hard to catch right.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (8.5/1 -113%) Joanna I'm Fine	8.5 8.5/1(-113%)	(12) Joanna I'm Fine 8.5/1, Got off the mark in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Up 5 lb but form has been franked so she ought to be in the shake-up.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (9/1 +0%) Classic Lady	9 9/1(+0%)	(16) Classic Lady 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden, only eighth of 9 in 2m novice hurdle here 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip and tongue strap goes on for her handicap debut. No forlorn hope.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (22/1 -83%) Voyburg	22 22/1(-83%)	(5) Voyburg 22/1, Fair winning hurdler but he's been under a cloud this season, well-held fifth at Exeter last time. Hard to warm to.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (25/1 -213%) Baby Jane	25 25/1(-213%)	(9) Baby Jane 25/1, Maiden hurdler and off for 14 months since posting a good second in handicap hurdle at Catterick (25.3f). Needs to hit the ground running.
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (150/1 -88%) Halfway House Lad	150 150/1(-88%)	(17) Halfway House Lad 150/1, Yet to show any ability, last of 9 in 2m novice hurdle at Catterick 37 days ago. Significantly up in trip for his handicap bow with lots to prove.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (150/1 -50%) Choungaya	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Choungaya 150/1, One-time useful chaser but very much on the downgrade these days and he hasn't shown anything in 6 starts for present yard.

LTO Selection:

A taking winner at Ayr last time, JOANNA I'M FINE must hold every chance of following up off a 5lb higher mark with conditions in her favour. Similar comments apply to recent C&D winner Fiadh, who should be able to uphold form with Rumble B (second) despite being 5lb worse off at the weights. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Baby Jane, Braganza Bay and Storm Force One.

Plenty with chances but FIADH proved revitalised by the fitting of cheekpieces when going in over C&D and still looks handily weighted despite taking a 5 lb rise with the headgear crucially on again here. Joanna I'm Fine is feared most on the back of her recent breakthrough Ayr success, with in-form pair Rumble B and Dillarchie completing the shortlist.

In an open handicap it might pay to take a chance on VOYBURG rediscovering his touch with the stable back in better form.

LTO Selection:

THE BAY WARRIOR is holding his form well and having been nudged up just 2lb for winning over course and distance in a higher grade last time, he has a solid chance of following up. It's notable that Rhys Clutterbuck was in the saddle for each of the gelding's three previous career successes, all over C&D, and it would come as no surprise to see the statics enhanced. Boasty is an obvious threat, while Mc'ted and Angels Roc are others to note.

BOASTY has been in excellent form lately and he's fancied to defy a penalty for his tough victory over C&D 5 days ago. They Don't Know looks a danger back down in trip and The Bay Warrior can't be ruled out.

The manner of BOASTY's C&D victory last time suggests he is capable of successfully defying a penalty in this slightly better contest.

LTO Selection:

EMANCIPATOR won last year's renewal on chase debut by 20 lengths and returns to fences. Ideally suited by conditions, he won a hurdle last November and while pulled up, when reported to be coughing, in January, has had a break and will have had today's race as a target. Joy Of Life was hampered when pulling up at Limerick but is better judged by previous chase runs and should compete. Eddies Pride won from 5lb lower when last seen in November while Pana To Milan is interesting on chase debut, as she also steps up to this distance for the first time. Three-time winner Earths Furies is able at this level but hasn't won since February 2022. Four-time winner Sean Says has been running reasonably well.

C&D winner EMANCIPATOR looked on the up until pulled up at Gowran and is taken to return in style after a break. Sean Says is next on the list on the back of his solid Thurles fourth ahead of the handily-weighted Joy of Life.

EMANCIPATOR won over C&D on chasing debut last year and can repeat the feat.

9th	2 9th (2) (11/1 -69%) Tokyo Live	11 11/1(-69%)	(2) Tokyo Live 11/1, Made the frame all 3 starts in 4-y-o hurdles for Francois Nicolle in 2021 and in process of running creditably when coming down at last in Lingfield handicap for current yard 13 months ago. Not seen since but in good hands and is worth a second look in the market.

LTO Selection:

PLAY BY THE RULES bolted up at Taunton on his handicap debut last month and a subsequent 8lb rise in the handicap might not be enough to halt further progress. Good ground might have been the undoing of Accidental Legend when he was tailed off at Ffos Las last time and the return to an easier surface could see the son of Shirocco bounce straight back to form. Others to note include Hi Riko and Executive Pool.

PLAY BY THE RULES won in emphatic fashion at Taunton last month and a 8 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent a follow-up success. Accidental Legend and Tokyo Live may provide the chief threat.

Despite giving the impression he wasn't fully concentrating, PLAY BY THE RULES won in style at Taunton and can follow up.

LTO Selection:

Lightly-raced STAR KISSED ran well in two maidens last year and is suited by soft ground. A half-sister to Group 3-winning stablemate Thunder Kiss, she was beaten by an 86-rated stakes-placed winner at Killarney and a reproduction, albeit on her reappearance, might suffice. The Gossiper is quite capable on his day and beat subsequently smart hurdler Ashroe Diamond to win a 2021 Galway festival bumper. However he has clearly had setbacks and might struggle to beat an on-song selection on his first run for 282 days. Douglas DC is useful but needs to improve to win, although has place claims on seasonal return. Bumper winner Art Of Silence's form is on good ground.

STAR KISSED sets the standard on her second at Killarney six months ago and there's more to come, so she's worth siding with. Douglas Dc is feared, with useful bumper winner The Gossiper potentially interesting on his return.

This looks a golden opportunity for STAR KISSED, a half-sister to the yard's smart Thunder Kiss, to get a winning bracket.

7	7 \|F\| (7) (16/1 +11%) Rowdy Rustler	16 16/1(+11%)	(7) Rowdy Rustler 16/1, Newcastle maiden hurdle winner last season. Promising second on his chase debut/reappearance there in November. Disappointing at Ayr on his 2 outings since but still early days and his yard's excellent form in recent weeks provides hope.

11	11 \|PU\| (11) (6.5/1 +24%) Post Chaise	6.5 6.5/1(+24%)	(11) Post Chaise 6.5/1, Made a very good start to his chase career when winning at Hereford and Huntingdon in January. Latest Doncaster fifth would suggest the handicapper has him about right so he'll need to pull out more for first-time cheekpieces.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (12/1 -100%) Hotel Du Nord	12 12/1(-100%)	(8) Hotel Du Nord 12/1, Dual point winner who made it 13th time lucky under Rules when landing a 25f Warwick veterans' chase 10 days ago on his first outing for Keiran Burke. Will be very competitive under a 7 lb penalty if showing up here in similar form.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (14/1 +58%) Crixus's Escape	14 14/1(+58%)	(12) Crixus's Escape 14/1, Runner-up twice off significantly higher marks last term, but he's hard to warm to based on what he's shown in 4 starts so far this season. Goes back up in trip now.
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (14/1 +65%) Ballynagran	14 14/1(+65%)	(17) Ballynagran 14/1, Backed at long odds, despite being 15 lb out of the handicap, and showed much improved form when off the mark in a C&D handicap in January. Not in anything like the same form twice since so his hopes are pinned on a return to this venue sparking a revival.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (33/1 +0%) Kaphumor	33 33/1(+0%)	(16) Kaphumor 33/1, Winless since 2021 and produced another laboured effort when a distant last of 4 finishers at Hexham last week. Now refitted with the cheekpieces he wore when third over C&D in January but he's still tough to make a case for.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of GENTLEMAN DE MAI, who ran a cracker on his chase debut at Ayr in February, a race which has produced no fewer than four winners since. Rose Dobbin's charge is taken to go one place better on this occasion and can strike at the main expense of the in-form C&D winner Tango Boy, and Hotel Du Nord, who did it well at Wincanton last time out.

The form of GENTLEMAN DE MAI's Ayr chase debut second has been boosted a few times since so he's taken to go one better with improvement on cards. Last-time-out scorers Not Sure, Hotel du Nord and Tango Boy head the many dangers. It would also be no surprise to see Rowdy Rustler bounce back to form with the Lucinda Russell stable going so well.

With the form of his chase debut second at Ayr in February having worked out extremely well, GENTLEMAN DE MAI (nap) earns the vote.

7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 -39%) Skyblue Expert	25 25/1(-39%)	(6) Skyblue Expert 25/1, 15/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 9 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces back on. Not discounted.

LTO Selection:

Charlie Johnston is enjoying a good spell and the Middleham based trainer can strike again if SMOOTH RYDER enjoys a smoother passage than the one he endured during a near miss at Lingfield last month. He was a bit short of room at a crucial stage near the finish that day and from just a 1lb higher mark, he could make amends. Corporate Raider is tried in cheekpieces and could find improvement, while Chester Tonik remains unexposed over the trip.

DABBOUS has been gelded since last seen and promises to be well suited by the longer trip, so he's preferred to the in-form Smooth Ryder, with Corporate Raider also worthy of consideration.

The improving SMOOTH RYDER was a shade unlucky last time and may be capable of further progress, so he gets the vote.

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (8.5/1 +29%) Lizrona	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(4) Lizrona 8.5/1, Winner in chase at Thurles in December. Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (23.2f, soft, 16/1) 19 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Claims if back to the sort of form she showed at Thurles.
2	3 2nd (3) (7.5/1 -25%) Good As Hell	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(3) Good As Hell 7.5/1, Latest win in chase at Tipperary in October. Sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Wexford (20f, heavy, 13/2) 158 days ago, going in snatches.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -45%) Rebel Early	8 8/1(-45%)	(2) Rebel Early 8/1, Fairly useful hurdle winner but below that level in 3 chases, finishing a remote fifth in maiden at this course (20f, soft) 35 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut.
4	6 4th (6) (1.62/1 +60%) Seangoell	1.62 1.62/1(+60%)	(6) Seangoell 1.62/1, One win from 26 NH runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 19 lengths last of 6 to Thedevilscoachman in Grade 3 chase at Limerick (24.6f, soft, 150/1) 11 days ago. Much more realistic chance back in handicap company. Respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (8.5/1 +6%) Sweet Street	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(5) Sweet Street 8.5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Fairly useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 28/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in maiden chase at this course (20f, heavy) 49 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 +56%) Killisk Ben Rose	22 22/1(+56%)	(7) Killisk Ben Rose 22/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. 18/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Wexford (25.4f, heavy) 6 days ago, brushed aside from 3 out.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (2.5/1 -81%) Bay Ambition	2.5 2.5/1(-81%)	(1) Bay Ambition 2.5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Good third of 8 in maiden chase (9/2) at this course (20f, soft) 35 days ago. Stable in good form. Has good chance on form.

LTO Selection:

BAY AMBITION has been running well and is suited by testing ground and this distance. She has yet to win in 10 chases but ran quite well when third over an inadequate distance here last month, with the winner franking the form by finishing second in last weekend's Ulster National. Rebel Early was 33 lengths behind the selection in that recent race and while the pair re-oppose on similar terms, Rebel Early should at least get closer on handicap chase debut, as her own hurdle rating is 7lb higher than her chase mark. Good As Hell won on good ground last October but is possibly best watched reappearing on testing ground. Sweet Street's best form is also on good but makes her handicap chase debut from a 5lb lower mark to hurdles.

BAY AMBITION has a much more solid profile than the rest of these and can gain an overdue first chase success. Lizrona will be a danger if bouncing back to the form she showed when successful over fences at Thurles just before Christmas, while Seangoell should find this a good bit easier than the Limerick Grade 3 she contested last time.

Third in a novice over 2m4f here last time, BAY AMBITION(nap) will relish the extra distance and can get off the mark chasing.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3/1 +25%) The Doyen Chief	3 3/1(+25%)	(6) The Doyen Chief 3/1, £110,000 5-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Cooksgrove Lady. Won completed start in Irish points (Dec 4) and he's a Rules debutant well worthy of note for good yard.
2	5 2nd (5) (5.5/1 -57%) Soldierofthestorm	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(5) Soldierofthestorm 5.5/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding who has plenty of scope and he ran to a fair level when third in 12-runner Ascot bumper on debut (15.7f) in October, keeping on inside final 1f. Absent since but he's entitled to come forward from that.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.25/1 -38%) Lump Sum	2.25 2.25/1(-38%)	(2) Lump Sum 2.25/1, Authorized gelding who made the ideal start when landing a bumper at Bangor (16.6f) in October, produced to lead over 2f out and clear soon after. Clearly knew his job but way he went through the race suggests there's better yet to come.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +57%) Mac's Legacy	12 12/1(+57%)	(4) Mac's Legacy 12/1, Fame And Glory gelding. Brother to bumper winner Ballycairn. Dam, ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to very smart chaser (stayed 3m) Opera Hat.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 +56%) Oneandahalfdegrees	8 8/1(+56%)	(7) Oneandahalfdegrees 8/1, Flemensfirth mare. Sister to 4 winners, including bumper winner/smart hurdler Royal Kahala and useful 2m/25f hurdle winner Collectors Item, and half-sister to a winner. Makes good deal of appeal on paper so interesting where she figures in the betting on debut.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +0%) Largy Valley	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Largy Valley 10/1, Pulled up only start in points yet, (tongue tied) overcame definite greenness to make a winning debut in Ayr bumper (2m) in November, keeping on well. Sure to have derived plenty from that and open to improvement for new yard.
7th	8 7th (8) (8.5/1 -55%) Chevington	8.5 8.5/1(-55%)	(8) Chevington 8.5/1, Out of a winner and showed good deal of ability himself when second in 6-runner C&D bumper on debut in February. Up to playing a part on that evidence.
8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 +60%) Maryah Island	16 16/1(+60%)	(9) Maryah Island 16/1, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam, refused only start over hurdles, 1m/8.3f winner on Flat. Wears tongue strap.
9th	3 9th (3) (300/1 -200%) Catch The Crumpet	300 300/1(-200%)	(3) Catch The Crumpet 300/1, Lucarno gelding who went with no encouragement when last of 5 in a Doncaster bumper on debut 33 days ago. Tongue tie goes on. Easy enough to look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

Lump Sum and Largy Valley must shoulder penalties having struck on their respective Rules debuts, so it might pay to side with the Jonjo O'Neill-trained SOLDIEROFTHESTORM. He finished a good third at Ascot in October and, with bumper winners in his pedigree, the five-year-old is fancied to take a step forward. The Doyen Chief is another to consider representing powerful connections.

LUMP SUM justified strong support and looked a good prospect to boot when making a winning bumper debut at Bangor back in the autumn and with progress highly likely, he gets the nod to make it 2-2. Largy Valley overcame obvious signs of inexperience when landing a bumper himself at Ayr in November and can also figure, with Chevington and The Doyen Chief others worth a look.

Despite a penalty for his win last October, LUMP SUM makes most appeal.

1	5 1st (5) (2/1 +0%) Support Act	2 2/1(+0%)	(5) Support Act 2/1, €23,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 2022) and displayed plenty of ability on Rules debut in a Kempton bumper (2m) 6 weeks ago, rallying to go second late on. Definite claims of going one place better here on that evidence.
2	6 2nd (6) (100/1 -150%) Telemetry	100 100/1(-150%)	(6) Telemetry 100/1, Telescope gelding. Closely related to modest hurdler Zwicky. Dam ran twice in bumpers, out of fair 2½m hurdle winner Marsh Run. Likely best watched on debut.

Made a promising start when winning 11-runner bumper at Ayr (16f, soft) at the start of February, drawing clear over 1f out and reduced advantage again only late on. Possibilities under a penalty.

5th	4 5th (4) (125/1 -25%) Magical Arthur	125 125/1(-25%)	(4) Magical Arthur 125/1, Yeats gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Fin And Game, stays 19f, and bumper winner Nell's Bells. 28/1, didn't offer much in way of short-term promise when last of 9 in a Haydock bumper (15.6f, soft) in December. This should reveal more on back of a wind op.
6th	9 6th (9) (125/1 -25%) Stonegate	125 125/1(-25%)	(9) Stonegate 125/1, Proconsul gelding. Closely related to 2m winner Yasmin From York. Dam (h102) 2m hurdle winner.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 +15%) Ballywhatsit	28 28/1(+15%)	(2) Ballywhatsit 28/1, €65,000 3-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. Reminders and behind when ran out under a circuit out on debut at Market Rasen (16.5f) 8 days ago. Best watched on the back of that.
8th	7 8th (7) (2.25/1 +44%) Viva Valentina	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(7) Viva Valentina 2.25/1, €82,000 3-y-o, Masked Marvel mare. Sister to fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Arbarok, and half-sister to 2 winners, including fairly useful French chaser Sainte Sophie. Yard no stranger to success with their bumper runners and she's very much one to note.

LTO Selection:

IL VA DE SOI made both a pleasing stable/Rules debut for Harry Derham when only beaten a head at Kempton in February, and there is likely more to come from the gelded son of Gris De Gris. Booster Bob must hold every chance of securing a double, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for his success over this trip at Ayr on debut, and he is feared most ahead of Support Act.

An interesting bumper with the narrow vote in favour of SUPPORT ACT. He shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on Rules debut at Kempton 6 weeks ago, and with progress anticipated, he can go one place better. Booster Bob, who opened his account at the first attempt at Ayr, is feared along with Il Va de Soi, whilst Dan Skelton's newcomer Molly's Third Man demands a market check for clues.

It looked to be a warm bumper in which SUPPORT ACT was second at Kempton in February and he's the selection ahead of Il Va De Soi.

LTO Selection:

There can be little doubt that Hit Mac has the ability to win another race of this nature and his quick reappearance after a respectable fourth at Lingfield on Monday is taken as a hint that he can be expected to go well again. However, NELLIE FRENCH edges preference on these terms and, with regular partner Phil Dennis live to her quirks, the six-year-old is fancied to gain an overdue success. The Tron and Toptime are others to consider.

A few with chances so it could be worth siding with course-winner TOPTIME who has gone well fresh and returns from a lay-off on a handy-looking mark. In-form Hit Mac and C&D winner The Tron appeal as the duo to give Roy Bowring's 5-y-o most to do and can chase him home in that order.

Birkenhead is better than he showed on his return but so is SAAHEQ and he can win on his second run for his new stable.

LTO Selection:

The step up in trip could be just what the doctor ordered for STORMINGIN having shown plenty of stamina at the end of each of his last two races. A mark of 54 still looks within his grasp and he can see off the likes of Liva, who is now 4lb below his last winning mark, and Reset Button. He was a fine second last time and has since undergone wind surgery.

RESET BUTTON travelled smoothly when runner-up at this course last time and has since had a breathing operation, so he should take the beating in a weak race. Liva is a danger if tuned up and Pledge of Peace can't be ruled out.

If wind surgery can unlock a fraction extra from RESET BUTTON, the consistent 5yo might well be able to edge out a returning Liva.

LTO Selection:

TOP SPEED returns following a break and receives weight from previous winners. A debut point-to-point winner, his form has been unexciting but ran well in a smart contest during Christmas, with the second, fourth and fifth all winning subsequently. Point-to-point and bumper winner Fameaftertheglory has failed in nine hurdles and four chases but has often run well in defeat, is sure to run well but carries a penalty. Feu De Bresil returned from a 1,530 days absence last Christmas and while he travels well in his races, finds little. Ex-Ballydoyle trained San Martino has been well held over hurdles but has beaten plenty rivals and has place claims under his penalty. Conyers Hill showed improvement in an ordinary race here last month while newcomer Champagne Mahler is a brother to a capable winning stayer. Marciano is a sibling to three winners and is out of a half-sister to Colonel Braxton.

FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY has been knocking at the door in similar company this year and is taken to finally get his head in front. Feu du Bresil ran his best race coming over from France when second at Thurles last time and will be a threat if building on that. Conyers Hill and Top Speed look capable of better than they've shown and also make the shortlist.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (2.5/1 -25%) Coco Mademoiselle	2.5 2.5/1(-25%)	(7) Coco Mademoiselle 2.5/1, €12,000 3-y-o, £100,000 5-y-o, Doyen mare. Dam placed in points. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Jan 8) so she's an interesting Rules newcomer for yard with a fine record at this track.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +7%) Paddy O'mahler	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Paddy O'mahler 7/1, Mahler gelding who produced a promising debut effort when third over C&D (good to soft) a couple of months ago. He's bred to stay well and could well build on that initial outing.
3	2 3rd (2) (5.5/1 +31%) Got Your Back	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(2) Got Your Back 5.5/1, €33,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Closely related to fair chaser It's Only A Number. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Feb 19) so he's one to take seriously on Rules debut.
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 -63%) Boldog	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(1) Boldog 6.5/1, Still in need of experience but left debut effort well behind fitted with a tongue strap when fifth in Navan bumper (16f, heavy, 40/1) 17 days ago. Fancied to take another step forward.
5th	8 5th (8) (2/1 +33%) Light Sentence	2 2/1(+33%)	(8) Light Sentence 2/1, Flat-bred gelding who shaped well when placed in a couple of Taunton bumpers (16.5f) last month, left with plenty of ground to make up when finishing runner-up last time. Should go close with an experience edge over most his rivals.
6th	4 6th (4) (25/1 +38%) Special Rate	25 25/1(+38%)	(4) Special Rate 25/1, Just mid-field in pair of bumpers for Mary E Doyle over the Irish Sea last summer so will need to show more on first start for his new stable. Tongue tie fitted.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 -25%) Tineggiori	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Tineggiori 20/1, Bated Breath gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Pakora. Check betting.
8th	5 8th (5) (200/1 -300%) Topcliffe Boy	200 200/1(-300%)	(5) Topcliffe Boy 200/1, Eagle Top gelding who attracted some support but offered little when finishing down the field in a Newcastle bumper (16.2f, heavy) last month. Easy to look elsewhere.

LTO Selection:

A fairly open second division of the bumper in which marginal preference is for the Dan Skelton-trained COCO MADEMOISELLE. She bolted up in a point-to-point in Ireland earlier this year, when trained by Denis Paul Murphy, and is fancied to follow up on her Rules debut for a yard which has enjoyed plenty of success at this track over the years. Light Sentence and Got Your Back add further spice to the race.

COCO MADEMOISELLE got off the mark on her second outing in Irish points earlier in the year so, representing a yard that boast a fine record at this track, she's fancied to make a winning start under Rules in a contest that may not take much winning. Light Sentence was placed on both outings at Taunton last month, so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of Irish-raider Boldog.

The 4yo LIGHT SENTENCE will need to settle better than he did when second at Taunton but he clearly has plenty of ability.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (7/1 -56%) Saint George	7 7/1(-56%)	(5) Saint George 7/1, Well-bred sort who took a small step forward from his debut effort in December when 5 lengths third in 6-runner Newcastle maiden (10.2f) 5 weeks ago, weakening final 1f. Remains open to improvement but handicaps could be more his bag.
2	2 2nd (2) (2.75/1 -38%) Sweet William	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(2) Sweet William 2.75/1, Son of Sea The Stars who is bred to stay well and showed plenty of ability when runner-up in novice events at Kempton/Ascot (at 12f) last summer. Gelded ahead of return and he's worth considering with prospect of more to come.
3	4 3rd (4) (0.67/1 +52%) Banderas	0.67 0.67/1(+52%)	(4) Banderas 0.67/1, Lope De Vega colt who is bred to be useful and may have made a winning start granted better luck-in-running when fifth in 12-runner Newcastle maiden (10f) in November. Looks sure to progress and very much in the mix.
4	6 4th (6) (28/1 -250%) Al Asmakh	28 28/1(-250%)	(6) Al Asmakh 28/1, Cracksman filly who was easy to back but offered something to work on when close-up third in 10-runner Chelmsford novice (1m) 5 weeks ago. Bred to be suited by 1¼m+ and she should do better.
5th	7 5th (7) (80/1 -264%) Rock N Roll Pinkie	80 80/1(-264%)	(7) Rock N Roll Pinkie 80/1, Well held on debut over 7f here in February but shaped with much more encouragement when fourth in 9-runner Chelmsford novice (10f) 26 days ago, running on late. This looks a warm enough race though and handicaps will be more her bag.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 +14%) Allo Al Khawaneej	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Allo Al Khawaneej 12/1, 25,000 gns yearling, Nathaniel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including high-class winner up to 1m Delegator and useful winner up to 7.6f Correspondent. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and betting should prove a useful guide.
7th	1 7th (1) (125/1 +17%) Clear White Light	125 125/1(+17%)	(1) Clear White Light 125/1, Fairly useful jumps winner who hasn't offered a great deal in pair of quick-fire Flat maidens last month. Handicaps in this sphere entitled to be more his bag.

LTO Selection:

As a half-brother to Irish Derby and St Leger winner Hurricane Lane, it's likely that higher expectations are held of SWEET WILLIAM at some stage. He showed ability in both starts as a three-year-old and he looks to have been found an ideal starting point for his return. Al Asmakh has a fitness edge and is dangerous to underestimate, while Banderas and Saint George also appeal and are recommended as shortlist material.

BANDERAS shaped with abundant promise without being seen to anything like best effect when fifth in a Newcastle maiden late last year and with progress anticipated, he earns the vote to build on that and come out on top. Sweet William, twice a runner-up in novice events last year, can do better again this term and is feared along with Al Asmakh. Newcomer Allo Al Khawaneej demands a market check.

Sweet William ran well in both his runs last season but BANDERAS was a major eyecatcher on debut and may progress past him.

3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -20%) Champagnesocialist	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Champagnesocialist 4/1, Fair hurdler. Winner a bumper at Downpatrick in September. Made the frame all 3 starts over timber, latest when second of 7 in novice (6/5) at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 87 days ago. Shortlisted.

5th	2 5th (2) (8.5/1 +6%) Apples In Winter	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(2) Apples In Winter 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Limerick (24f, heavy) 25 days ago. Others preferred.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -106%) Susie Miller	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Susie Miller 33/1, 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, pulled up in novice hurdle at Tramore (21f, good), behind when pulled up before last. Off 7 months. Stable in good form.

8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 -14%) Walk Out	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Walk Out 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 15/2, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Thurles (21f, heavy) 24 days ago headway when unseated rider 2 out looking sure to play hand in finish. Warrants respect.
9th	6 9th (6) (100/1 -100%) Flidais	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Flidais 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in bumper (66/1) at Naas (15.4f, soft) 25 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.

7	7 \|PU\| (7) (200/1 -400%) Molly Honey	200 200/1(-400%)	(7) Molly Honey 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/1 and hooded, ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 16 days ago. Up in trip. Yard having good spell.

LTO Selection:

Three-time point winner DESERT HEATHER is consistent. Her Punchestown run was boosted by the runner-up winning subsequently, suffered minor interference when beaten at Limerick and has form at this distance. It is puzzling to see Kilbarry Saint (out of a Listed flat winner and by a leading French stallion) contest a late-season maiden hurdle having shown real promise, when green, on point-to-point debut, with the runner-up subsequently selling for 150,000 pounds. She receives plenty weight and is a fascinating runner. Champagnesocialist won an ordinary bumper by 19 lengths last September, has recent form and her rider's 7lb claim mostly offsets her 8lb penalty. Bint Freya and Will You Win have minor place claims while Walk Out faces a tougher task than when exiting late-on at Thurles.

This can go to DESERT HEATHER, who is still low mileage and caught the eye when runner-up at Limerick last month. Champagnesocialist and Bint Freya rate the principal dangers.

DESERT HEATHER was 2nd at Limerick last month and a shorter trip shouldn't be an issue with testing ground in her favour

1	7 1st (7) (6/1 -100%) Kingmania	6 6/1(-100%)	(7) Kingmania 6/1, Winner of 2 of her 3 starts during 2021 campaign. Proved more miss than hit last term but definite promise to glean from her fifth in 17-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f) on final start for Chris Wall in October. Unexposed at 1m and well treated if she can build on that starting out for new yard.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +25%) Francesi	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Francesi 3/1, Off the mark in an AW novice (at 1m) 12 months ago and largely consistent in defeat switched to handicaps, good third of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 10/3) when last seen in November. Looks a likely player back from a break partnered by James Doyle.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 +50%) Plastic Paddy	8 8/1(+50%)	(3) Plastic Paddy 8/1, Latest win at Newcastle (1m) in February. 11/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Better showing not ruled out returned to 1m.
4	10 4th (10) (9/1 +50%) The Mouse King	9 9/1(+50%)	(10) The Mouse King 9/1, Course winner. 33/1, below form ninth of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, soft) in October, possibly unsuited by conditions. Makes seasonal return now and handicapper has relinquished his grip a little.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +0%) Vaccine	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Vaccine 12/1, Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (3/1) at Newcastle (8f) 22 days ago, possibly finding the quick turnaround catching him out. Another who remains low mileage but this does look a stronger affair.
6th	2 6th (2) (8.5/1 -21%) Dubai Jeanius	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(2) Dubai Jeanius 8.5/1, Enjoyed a fine winter, completing course 5-timer over extended 2m on penultimate start. Possibly a shade unlucky not to go in again at Newcastle (12.5f) 23 days ago and given his versatility, shouldn't be underestimated dropped markedly in trip.
7th	9 7th (9) (4.5/1 +36%) Athmad	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(9) Athmad 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Ran well in search of hat-trick when second of 7 in handicap back at that venue (8.6f) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Looks competitive on form.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 +12%) Intervention	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Intervention 22/1, Course winner. Seven wins from 25 runs last year. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/1) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 +14%) Chief's Will	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Chief's Will 12/1, Doubled career tally over C&D in January and backed that up when runner-up from 2 lb higher mark at Newcastle (1m) in February. Disappointed back here turned out quickly but given more of a break ahead of this.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 -65%) Candy Warhol	33 33/1(-65%)	(12) Candy Warhol 33/1, Bit below form third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 9/4) 24 days ago. Remains early days with him, including at 1m.
11th	11 11th (11) (11/1 -38%) Kaaranah	11 11/1(-38%)	(11) Kaaranah 11/1, 1m winner in Ireland who ended last season in good form for present yard, third of 13 in handicap (9/4) at Kempton (11f) in October, despite not being ideally placed. Remains unexposed on AW and market may prove a good guide back from 6 months off.
12th	4 12th (4) (80/1 -220%) My Silent Song	80 80/1(-220%)	(4) My Silent Song 80/1, Scored at Pontefract (1m) last June and plenty of solid efforts in defeat thereafter. Rare below par display on final start at Newmarket (1m) and type to bounce back on return to action.

LTO Selection:

Dubai Jeanius quietly racked up a five-timer over various trips here over the last few months and is respected back at his favourite course. However, he's also gone up 24lb in the handicap since January and arguably faces his stiffest test to date. With that in mind, it might be worth chancing that KAARANAH can find more now he's tried in a hood and dropped back to what might prove to be his optimum distance. Vaccine and Athmad are noted too.

Plenty arrive holding claims and it could just be worth siding with the returning KINGMANIA. She proved more miss than hit last term but ended the campaign with an eye-catching effort in a big-field Newmarket handicap and, starting out for her new yard (has gone well fresh), she could just be the answer from an appealing mark. Francesi, Dubai Jeanius and Athmad are others fancied to figure.

Athmad is at the top of his game but KINGMANIA could benefit from the hood and she can make a winning stable debut.

LTO Selection:

MILLSTREAM LADY's recent course form is working out and she could be ahead of the handicapper. She showed improvement when chasing home a subsequent winner (now rated 112) last month, with the third being an unlucky loser last weekend and the fourth now being rated 102. She steps up in distance and her rider claims 7lb. Keen-going Mighty Jeremy has been running well, following a layoff, and has claims from just 2lb higher. Shean Glory disappointed on her latest run but is generally consistent and beat a subsequent winner here in February. Tingarran Express has some decent form but is a 12-raced maiden, while recent point-to-point winner Lilian Bland ran well over hurdles last month.

MILLSTREAM LADY looks to have got in lightly for her handicap bow so gets the vote at the chief expense of recent course second Tingarran Express. Mighty Jeremy is another who can have a say on the back of his good Cork second.

MIGHTY JEREMY has run with credit since returning from a lengthy absence and he's only been nudged up 2lb for a narrow defeat latest

LTO Selection:

Placed on three of her four outings last year, MUBHIJAH looks just the type to improve at three and the step up to a mile is another plus. The daughter of Shamardal is narrowly preferred to Urban Decay, who showed plenty when runner-up on her debut at Kempton in November. Sea Me Dance is another to consider having placed on both starts last season.

URBAN DECAY produced a promising first effort when runner-up over this trip at Kempton in November, and with improvement likely, she can be expected to build on that now with her yard amongst the winners. Mubhijah promises to be suited by this step up to 1m on return and is feared, along with Sea Me Dance.

Mubhijah sets the standard but the once-raced URBAN DECAY may progress past her.

LTO Selection:

A chance is taken that well-bred SHANNON ROYALE wasn't himself when disappointing on bumper debut. He chased home smart dual bumper winner Willmount in a February 2022 point-to-point before selling for 300,000 pounds, and hung when disappointing at Fairyhouse. He was a reserve non-runner in February and it is encouraging connections have opted for another bumper. Willie Mullins' Toad Hall is a half-brother to three winners, including Eye Van, and while he could be smart, nonetheless makes a belated debut aged six. Points winner Extrapolation ran well on bumper debut for a new yard and looks sure to run well while seven year old Pray Tell was an unlucky loser of a winners' point at Nenagh but faces a tougher task. Walk Away Harry is a sibling to four winners and could make things interesting while Read The Room hails from the War Of Attrition academy and is a distant relative of Denman.

TOAD HALL represents top connections and may well be capable of making a successful start. Extrapolation has the best form to date and looks a danger, while Shannon Royale can't be dismissed with improvement on the cards.

EXTRAPOLATION sets a reasonable standard. The point winner ran a big race on Rules debut and he may progress from that

LTO Selection:

Now that the penny has dropped for CREME DE CACAO after a convincing win at Chelmsford last month, Roger Varian's filly can follow up from feasible opening handicap mark of 71. An eye-catcher on her first run for new connections at Kempton, In The Giving should have plenty more improvement forthcoming, while Nuthatch and Tondeuse can also have a say in proceedings.

CREME DE CACAO looks to have got in lightly for her handicap bow so is fancied to follow up her cosy Chelmsford City success at the chief expense of In The Giving, who shaped well when runner-up at Kempton on her yard debut and is a major threat. Course-scorer Evolicatt is another who can have a say in a competitive handicap.

In The Giving is open to improvement over 7f but WINNARETTA looks the type to do well in handicaps this season.

LTO Selection:

Giselles Izzy was only narrowly denied over C&D on her most recent outing in February and must enter calculations off 1lb higher. However, AUTUMN FLIGHT was a game winner over this trip at Lingfield last month and narrowly shades the vote, despite having to shoulder a 4lb penalty. Shining Crystal reverts to handicapping and adds further spice to the race.

JENEVER backed up his C&D win with a good placed effort at Kempton last time and looks to have plenty going for him again here. Giselles Izzy has been in great form this winter and looks by far the most pertinent danger, with Autumn Flight perhaps the best of the rest.

Ustath and Gunnerside are high on the list but the progressive JENEVER may be able to record his second C&D success.

LTO Selection:

A facile winner over C&D last month, it is hard to look past KISS MY FACE, especially given Harry Russell negates most of the gelding's 5lb penalty for that victory courtesy of his 3lb claim. He's taken to continue in a rich vein of form, but Huscari was a game winner over 2m at Lingfield on her latest outing and should not be taken lightly. Wannabe Brave completes the shortlist in first-time cheekpieces.

KISS MY FACE arrives on a roll and can make light of a 5 lb penalty for his emphatic C&D success to complete a four-timer. Low-mileage Huscari is feared most on the back of her Lingfield win, with Wannabe Brave weighted to have a say too if the fitting of cheekpieces have the desired effect.

It makes sense to stick with KISS MY FACE (nap) who comes here on a roll and faces plenty of rivals with questions to answer.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

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

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

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
