13:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 2) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (12/1 +14%) Arkhalia Flynn	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Arkhalia Flynn 12/1, Fifth of 9 in minor event at Newbury (7f, good, 16/1) on debut. Off 8 months with work to do. Pulled hard on 7f turf debut last summer so the drop in trip may help.
1	5 1st (5) (7/2 +36%) Auric	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(5) Auric 7/2, Promising individual. 40/1, fourth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 35 days ago, finishing well. Sure to improve so he's in the mix. Promise on 6f Wolverhampton debut; Murphy takes over from 5lb claimer; player.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +68%) Harry Did	3.5 7/2(+68%)	(2) Harry Did 7/2, Twice-raced maiden, very good second of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 5/2) when needing stiffer test 147 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Stepped up a little on 7f debut here when second over 6f at Newcastle; more to come.
3	9 3rd (9) (80/1 -264%) Boadicia	80 80/1(-264%)	(9) Boadicia 80/1, 12/1, fifth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut, not clear run. Off 137 days. Open to progress. Better than result (met trouble) when fifth on 7f debut in November; likely improver.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 -211%) Grandlad	14 14/1(-211%)	(7) Grandlad 14/1, Promising Acclamation colt. 5/1, second of 5 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) on debut 15 days ago, edged out only late on. Leading form claims. Plenty to like about his near miss on recent 6f Newcastle debut; likely to improve.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 -14%) Star Pupil	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Star Pupil 16/1, 6/1, sixth of 13 in minor event at this course (8f) on debut. Off 115 days. Down in trip with more needed. Faded into sixth on 1m course debut in December but he was only 6-1; down 2f in trip.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/2 +36%) Kodi Lion	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(8) Kodi Lion 7/2, 7/2, third of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut. Off 8 months but he's open to improvement. Travelled well for a long way when 3rd on 7f AW debut last summer; 6f should suit; player.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 +44%) Sky Warrior	5 5/1(+44%)	(1) Sky Warrior 5/1, Won 12-runner maiden at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 7/2). Off 8 months but should have more to offer. Winner over 6f on turf last July; off since but remains likely to go on to better things.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 +9%) Ethandun	10 10/1(+9%)	(6) Ethandun 10/1, Fair maiden. Gelded/off 9 months before posting a good third of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4) 15 days ago. Needs considering. Fair form and might be sharper for recent Lingfield reappearance; shouldn't be far away.

The Harry Eustace stable has a decent record around here and this looks like an ideal opportunity for HARRY DID to break the maiden. The son of Exceed And Excel improved from his first to his second start when runner-up at Newcastle and may have too much for promising Wolverhampton fourth Auric, as well as Kodi Lion, who has been gelded since his debut third at Newcastle last summer. Sky Warrior has a much tougher task on his hands under a 7lb penalty after scoring at Doncaster on his second appearance.

None of these can be ruled out but James Horton's GRANDLAD holds the edge on the form of his promising debut second at Newcastle so looks the way to go. Hugo Palmer's once-raced Auric also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list, with Harry Did and Sky Warrior both in the picture too in an intriguing novice.

There was a lot to like about the way KODI LION moved through the race on his 7f Newcastle debut last summer so he's the suggestion.

13:40 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +54%) Hawk Stone	1.625 13/8(+54%)	(1) Hawk Stone 13/8, Has left efforts in maiden/novice company well behind switched to handicaps the last twice, finding just one too good at both Wincanton and Chepstow. Clearly effective when the mud is flying and likely to give another good account. Runner-up in both handicaps and was perhaps a shade unfortunate in the latest.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 -140%) Orbys River	12 12/1(-140%)	(7) Orbys River 12/1, Confirmed she possesses ability when finishing runner-up at Huntingdon (15.8f) 2 starts ago and in process of showing improved form when unseating 2 out at Hereford (16.2f) 10 days ago, looking a big threat at the time. Worth a second look from 2 lb lower mark. Second at Huntingdon and in contention when unseating next time; things are looking up.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +50%) Bullets Hill	4 4/1(+50%)	(3) Bullets Hill 4/1, Fairly useful dual winner in bumpers who hasn't offered a great deal in face of stiff tasks on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles following a second wind op this winter. Switch to handicaps rates an obvious plus but he's not the easiest to weigh up on balance. Makes handicap debut after being highly tried but has yet to match his bumper form.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +0%) Gambie Tiep	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Gambie Tiep 4/1, Four-time winner for this yard in 2023, the latest an all-the-way success at Bangor (17.3f, soft) in October. Not at his best in 3 starts since, well held fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) 25 days ago. Needs to bounce back returned to timber. Four wins for this yard; below par the last twice but very capable of bouncing back.
5th	8 5th (8) (50/1 -52%) Canal Rocks	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Canal Rocks 50/1, One-time fairly useful handicapper on Flat but well below that level over hurdles, though did capitalise on his falling mark when successful at Worcester in June 2022. However, recent efforts in this sphere don't inspire confidence ahead of this. Flat/hurdle winner but exposed and this 8yo looks opposable under these conditions.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -789%) Good Impression	40 40/1(-789%)	(4) Good Impression 40/1, Boasts a pretty good strike rate over hurdles, regaining winning thread at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in September and similar form when runner-up at that venue later that month. Absent subsequently but possibilities if arriving in same groove. Dual course winner but, on heavy ground and lacking a run, others appeal more.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 -83%) Beat Box	11 11/1(-83%)	(2) Beat Box 11/1, 3-time winner over hurdles who ran well to hi the frame on first 3 starts in handicaps this term. Ran no sort of race (possibly amiss) when last of 6 at Newcastle early last month but he rates a likely type to bounce back. Ran no race last time but a contender if shrugging aside that disappointment.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/2 -38%) Yellow Jacket	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(6) Yellow Jacket 11/2, Took advantage of a slipping mark when shedding his maiden tag in a 7-runner handicap chase (10/3) at Bangor (17.4f, heavy) in February prior to finishing solid second from 4 lb higher at Huntingdon (16.5f) 18 days ago. Not discounted back over hurdles. Placed in one of his two handicaps over hurdles but his improvement has come as a chaser.

With the likelihood of this being a gruelling test of stamina if the ground remains heavy, the previous course experience held by the returning GOOD IMPRESSION could be a key asset. Already a dual C&D winner, the selection is proven under the forecast conditions and resumes from a workable rating. Hawk Stone is still open to progress and is feared, despite a modest round of jumping taking its toll when he was narrowly touched off last time out. Yellow Jacket needs to improve but rates pick of the rest.

ORBYS RIVER has displayed more promise for the switch to handicaps, finishing a creditable second at Huntingdon on her penultimate start, and she looked set to play a part in the finish before unseating 2 out at Hereford 10 days ago. She could be worth chancing from such a lowly mark, with recent Chepstow second Hawk Stone rating a big danger particularly if sharpening up his jumping. Yellow Jacket, who arrives on the back of good efforts over fences, is another to consider.

Harriet Dickin's HAWK STONE is a scopey 5yo with the build to cope with a big weight and he probably should have won at Chepstow.

13:45 Curragh Maiden 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (4/5 +0%) California Dreamer	0.8 4/5(+0%)	(1) California Dreamer 4/5, Foaled April 5. 130,000 gns Mehmas filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1½m/13f winner Pennymoor and 7f winner Ceanna. Dam winner up to 11f (2-y-o 6f winner). Stable has already had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner here this season. Market confidence significant. Half-sister to four winners including 1m5f Listed winner; yard has good line to 2yo form.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -33%) Cradle Of Love	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Cradle Of Love 4/1, Foaled April 7. €170,000 Kodiac filly. Sister to 6f winner Rumaythah and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Stela Star and 2-y-o 1m winner Caroline Herschel. Very interesting newcomer. Yard's first 2-y-o runner of season cost E170,000 as a yearling; related to 2yo winners.
6	6 (6) (5/1 -11%) Usdi Atohi	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Usdi Atohi 5/1, Foaled March 17. €150,000 Ten Sovereigns filly. Sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Asean. Bred to be sharp. Sister to Asean who won twice at two for yard last season, including Listed contest here.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +0%) Pleasant Dawn	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Pleasant Dawn 10/1, Foaled January 14. Dawn Approach filly. Dam unraced. The betting should help guide to expectations. First foal; unraced dam is out of 1m winning sister to 6f-1m2f winner Rince Deireanach.
3	3 (3) (25/1 +0%) Marianne North	25 25/1(+0%)	(3) Marianne North 25/1, 7/1, well-held fourth of 8 in C&D maiden (heavy) on debut 19 days ago, not knocked about. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Open to improvement. Fourth of 8 over C&D last month, beaten 11l, and third won since; experience an asset.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -32%) Ms Highway	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Ms Highway 33/1, Foaled March 20. €1,500 yearling, Prince of Lir filly. Sister to 7f winner No News and half-sister to 3 winners, including temperamental 8.3f winner Modakhar and 7f-8.3f winner Cliff Bay. California Dreamer has to be considered the stable first string unless the market hints otherwise. Cheaply bought sister to 7f AW winner, half-sister to three other winners over 7f/1m.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

USDI ATOHI, a full-sister to 5f Listed winner Asean, appears to have been found a good starting point and this daughter of Ten Sovereigns, who cost 150,000 euros as a yearling, can lay down an early marker for youngsters set to come from the Donnacha O'Brien yard. Cradle Of Love also has an appealing pedigree and, being by Kodiac, can be fancied to cope with the forecast ground conditions. California Dreamer looks the pick of Adrian Murray's pair, although a longer trip is likely to suit before long.

Adrian Murray has already had a first-time-out 2-y-o winner here in the Amo Silks this year so CALIFORNIA DREAMER is the suggestion before any betting clues are known. Cradle of Love and Usdi Atohi are other likely types on breeding.

Adrian Murray and AMO Racing have a good line to early-season juvenile form in Ireland and can strike with CALIFORNIA DREAMER

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (5/2 +44%) Choisya	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(3) Choisya 5/2, Useful filly. Four wins from 11 runs last year. 7/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D by neck from Julia Augusta, all out. Off 138 days. Shortlist material. Progressing well despite an inclination to hang left; C&D winner; leading form claims.
2	2 (2) (10/3 +17%) Adelaise	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(2) Adelaise 10/3, Useful mare. Course winner. 11/1, creditable 2 lengths fifth of 11 to Dancing Goddess in listed race at Longchamp (9f, good). Off 174 days. Respected. Has only a novice win to her name but has regularly run well in good company; contender.
5	5 (5) (4/1 +33%) Julia Augusta	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Julia Augusta 4/1, Useful mare. C&D winner. 6/4, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 96 days. Can give a good account with posing serious threat to principals. Low mileage for her age; ran well over C&D in November but work to do with Choisya on that.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -50%) Many Tears	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Many Tears 6/1, Useful filly. Career best when winning 12-runner listed race (17/2) at Dundalk (8f) by 2¼ lengths from Didn'thavemuchtodo, suited by increase in trip. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons (300,000 gns). Leading player. Impressed in 1m Dundalk Listed race in November; sold 300,000gns December; unexposed at 1m.
8	8 (8) (17/2 -42%) Mystic Pearl	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(8) Mystic Pearl 17/2, Useful filly. 7¼ lengths fourth of 7 to English Rose in Balanchine at Meydan (9f, good, 25/1) 43 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. 1m Listed win on turf last summer; struggled in Group 2s in Dubai this year; headgear now.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +50%) Mother Mary	14 14/1(+50%)	(6) Mother Mary 14/1, Lightly-raced winner. 8/1, very good third of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft), suited by increase in trip. Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. Plenty to find on form. 7f turf winner last summer; beaten off a mark of 82 on handicap debut; this looks too hot.
10	10 (10) (18/1 -112%) Zouky	18 18/1(-112%)	(10) Zouky 18/1, Useful filly. 50/1, 4¾ lengths eighth of 12 to Queen Aminatu in listed race at Lingfield (8f, AW). Off 151 days. More needed to make a more significant impacr at this level. Unexposed at the trip but she'll need a clear personal best to trouble the principals.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -12%) Enola Grey	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Enola Grey 28/1, Fairly useful filly. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f, evens) 21 days ago, overcoming positional bias. Arrives in good heart but something to find in this company. Thriving for new yard this winter; this represents a much stiffer test of her credentials.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -230%) Mysterious Love	33 33/1(-230%)	(7) Mysterious Love 33/1, Useful filly. Below form 17½ lengths eighth of 14 to Sparks Fly in listed race (11/1) at Saint-Cloud (8f, heavy). Off 159 days. Makes polytrack debut. Others preferred. Shown a good level of ability without making the frame in five stakes races; AW debut.
9	9 (9) (50/1 -178%) Rose Prick	50 50/1(-178%)	(9) Rose Prick 50/1, Fairly useful filly. 25/1, 8 lengths seventh of 9 to Random Harvest in Valiant Fillies' Stakes at Ascot (8f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Makes polytrack debut. Uphill task. Beaten only 3l at this level in France last summer but opposable on balance of her form.

A determined winner over C&D from the reopposing Julia Augusta back in November, CHOISYA was a relatively progressive filly last season and she looks ready for her first go at black type. Now in the hands of James Ferguson, Many Tears is interesting on the back of a Listed success at Dundalk, while Mystic Pearl should be fit and firing after a couple of spins at Meydan. Irish raider Adelaise may be winless since scoring here over two years ago, but she has run in some highly competitive races.

CHOISYA progressed into a smart performer at 3 yrs and looks up to taking the step into listed company in her stride. Many Tears was acquired for 300,000 gns after winning at Dundalk in November and makes plenty of appeal having since joined the James Ferguson yard, with Mystic Pearl also respected having stepped back in the right direction at Meydan last time.

Choisya looks the one to beat but MANY TEARS could well have more to give on AW for her new yard and is narrowly preferred.

2	2 (2) (1/2 +32%) One Big Bang	0.5 1/2(+32%)	(2) One Big Bang 1/2, Improved to land a gamble starting out for an up-and-coming yard in extended 3m Haydock novices' handicap a week ago, drawing clear from the last under this rider. Might easily raise his game again and leading claims back in a novice. Career-best form on stable debut last week when coming clear in a Haydock handicap (soft).
1	1 (1) (7/4 -46%) Livin On Luco	1.75 7/4(-46%)	(1) Livin On Luco 7/4, Runner-up in an Irish point and quick to show fairly useful form in this sphere, landing 10-runner novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy). Decent runner-up efforts under a penalty both starts since and can go well again. Change of headgear. Has form claims but he's up in distance in new blinkers, so there are some doubts.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +0%) Valfortore	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Valfortore 33/1, Tailed off in a bumper/completed start over hurdles. In a leading yard but has shown next to nothing so far, from 2m to 3m1f; hard to trust.

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

ONE BIG BANG, who showed a good deal of ability during his time in Ireland, fully justified the strong support he received in the betting when he made a successful debut for the James Own yard in a deeper-looking race at Haydock last week, and is hard to oppose in his bid for a quick follow-up success. Livin On Luco has finished a close second on both starts since his maiden success at Chepstow in January and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Valfortore has plenty to find.

A match between ONE BIG BANG and Livin On Luco, with James Owen's charge taken to make it 2 wins in a week for his new trainer.

This is best left to last week's comfortable Haydock handicap winner ONE BIG BANG. That was a career best from him.

Half-sister to Listed winner Flaming Princess; dam half-sister to Group winner Hawksmoor.
7	7 (7) (6/1 -20%) Glen Princess	6 6/1(-20%)	(7) Glen Princess 6/1, €48,000 yearling, Calyx filly.

6	6 (6) (15/2 +6%) Bleak Midwinter	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(6) Bleak Midwinter 15/2, €40,000 yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to smart 11.6f/1½m winner Brimham Rocks out of useful 2-y-o 8.3f winner (stayed 1½m) Colima. Shrewd yard is frugal enough with their outlay but spent E40,000 on this one; note market.
9	9 (9) (8/1 -60%) Kailasa	8 8/1(-60%)	(9) Kailasa 8/1, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Kailash and 7f winner Kaliysta. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Market should guide. Half-sister to winners Kailash (1m2f) and Kaliysta (Qatar 7f); apparent second string.

Dam twice-raced half-sister to very smart 5f (Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp)/6f winner Gilt Edge Girl. Yard seems to be in decent nick and this E30,000 yearling is from a speedy 5f family.
10	10 (10) (16/1 +0%) Miss Meagher	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Miss Meagher 16/1, €11,000 yearling, Galileo Gold filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 7.5f), half-sister to smart winner up to 9f Doctor Geoff. Dam half-sister to 7f Irish Listed/Hong Kong 1m1f Group 3 winner Doctor Geoff; shrewd yard.

4	4 (4) (66/1 +0%) Abbey Actress	66 66/1(+0%)	(4) Abbey Actress 66/1, Once-raced filly. Hooded, last of 14 in maiden (50/1) at Dundalk (7f) on debut. Off 113 days. 50-1, eased to finish in rear in AW maiden in December; nice enough pedigree.
11	11 (11) (80/1 -21%) Nans View	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Nans View 80/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Gowran (8.3f, heavy, 33/1) on debut, missing break. Off 172 days. Soundly beaten in back-end Gowran maiden run on heavy ground; watching brief.
1	1 (1) (200/1 +0%) Barrogstown Girl	200 200/1(+0%)	(1) Barrogstown Girl 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 13 in maiden at Galway (7f, heavy, 100/1), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 159 days. 100-1 and never a factor in two runs last year.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Those with experience have hardly set the world alight, so it is probably best to concentrate on the newcomers. It is interesting that Coolmore have kept Uncanny on the team as a four-year-old and she warrants obvious respect, but fellow Churchill filly IT'SONLYJUSTBEGUN also represents Coolmore interests and the weight this 120,000gns half-sister to a Listed winner receives sways the vote in her favour. Kailasa is from a good Aga Khan family and looks the pick of Johnny Murtagh's two.

It looks significant that powerful connections have been patient with UNCANNY and she's taken to make a belated winning start. This looks likely to be dominated by newcomers, with It'sonlyjustbegun and Glen Princess heading the dangers before market clues.

A guessing game. Barry Fitzgerald often produces a useful type or two in early-season maidens so MISS MEAGHER is a hopeful selection

9	9 (9) (9/4 +36%) Old Harrovian	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(9) Old Harrovian 9/4, Lightly-raced winner. 7/1, 9½ lengths sixth of 7 to Haskoy in Aston Park Stakes at Newbury (12f, good to firm). Off 10 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Considered if fully tuned up for his comeback. Easy winner of AW starts; off since sixth in turf Group 3 in May; very interesting runner.
3	3 (3) (11/4 +50%) Intinso	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(3) Intinso 11/4, Gelded/off 7 months before easily resuming winning ways in good style in 9-runner handicap (8/15) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago. Up 8 b but this low-mileage 4-y-o looks to have plenty more to offer. Big shout. Gelded prior to easy win on Wolverhampton reappearance; likely more to come for top yard.
13	13 (13) (17/2 +23%) Cannon Rock	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(13) Cannon Rock 17/2, First run since leaving Charlie Appleby when winning 12-runner minor event at Southwell (12.1f) 32 days ago, despite missing break. Cheekpieces go back on for his handicap debut and not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. Returned from long layoff to make it 2-3 in Southwell novice recently; an unknown quantity.
5	5 (5) (9/1 -64%) Chillingham	9 9/1(-64%)	(5) Chillingham 9/1, Creditable second of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (14f). Off 135 days. Down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Looks competitive on form. His second at Wolverhampton in November is very solid AW form; big player.
11	11 (11) (14/1 -27%) Youthful King	14 14/1(-27%)	(11) Youthful King 14/1, 10/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 8 days ago, left with lot to do. One for the shortlist. Shaped well last twice, finishing with rattle for fourth at Lingfield on Good Friday.
14	14 (14) (14/1 +13%) Old Peculier	14 14/1(+13%)	(14) Old Peculier 14/1, Latest win at Dundalk in January. Good second of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 36 days ago. Progressing well recently so this Irish challenger is much respected. Big improver on AW in blinkers this winter; yet another who has to enter reckoning.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -50%) Killybegs Warrior	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Killybegs Warrior 18/1, Creditable third of 12 in handicap (9/1) at York (10.2f, soft), having run of race. Off 175 days but he can't be dismissed. Useful on his day and placed on AW last spring but others are more appealing.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -43%) Valsad	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Valsad 20/1, 8/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 27 days ago, well positioned. Makes polytrack debut. Firmly in the picture. Latest Southwell win was a career best but a 5lb rise demands more from him again.
12	12 (12) (22/1 -38%) Dream Harder	22 22/1(-38%)	(12) Dream Harder 22/1, Creditable 4 lengths third of 9 to Intinso in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 12/1) 21 days ago. Can give a good account. Four Tapeta wins but also acts on Polytrack; fair third to Intinso on Wolver reappearance.
1	1 (1) (25/1 -127%) Cemhaan	25 25/1(-127%)	(1) Cemhaan 25/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (12f, 17/2) 70 days ago. Needs considering. Course winner; sound fourth on 1m4f course return but will need a smart effort to prevail.
4	4 (4) (28/1 -155%) Laafi	28 28/1(-155%)	(4) Laafi 28/1, Latest win at Newmarket in November. Possibly found the run coming too soon when twelfth of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 147 days ago. Well worth another chance. 1m2f win on turf last autumn; well held final start but remains low mileage for top stable.
6	6 (6) (33/1 +0%) Londoner	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Londoner 33/1, 6/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 169 days. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien but not discounted. Useful for Aidan O'Brien, including on AW; gelded ahead of first run for Jim Goldie.
10	10 (10) (33/1 +34%) Duc De Kent	33 33/1(+34%)	(10) Duc De Kent 33/1, 80/1, 8½ lengths fifth of 9 to Intinso in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) on UK debut 21 days ago. Must improve. Better signs when fifth to Intinso latest; down another 4lb and Buick booked.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -264%) Captain Wierzba	40 40/1(-264%)	(8) Captain Wierzba 40/1, Fifth of 6 in minor event (25/1) at Goodwood (8f, good to soft). Off 11 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack/handicap debut. Others look better treated at these weights. No impact in good company last spring but leading yard perseveres; has been gelded.

Favourite for a competitive handicap at Musselburgh last week before the meeting was abandoned, CHILLINGHAM has been rerouted to this valuable contest and dropping back in trip could be ideal, having travelled with plenty of zest when runner-up over 1m6f at Wolverhampton. Cemhaan may have a tough task off top weight, but he won easily here last May and must enter calculations along with the unexposed Old Harrovian and Intinso, who looked much improved when scoring at Wolverhampton.

A cracking renewal of the Rosebery in which the Gosdens' upwardly-mobile INTINSO is hard to side against on the back of his impressive reappearance success at Wolverhampton with the promise of plenty more to come. Old Harrovian looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is feared most despite lacking a recent run, while hat-trick seeking Cannon Rock and the progressive Irish raider Old Peculier can also have a say.

If there's one in this competitive handicap who could be well ahead of its mark it's OLD HARROVIAN (nap), who can make it 3-3 on AW.

2	2 (2) (11/8 +69%) Blue Beach	1.375 11/8(+69%)	(2) Blue Beach 11/8, Useful-looking mare who showed some aptitude for chasing when third in small-field affairs at Exeter and Huntingdon earlier this season. Went close back over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.6f, soft) subsequently and looks sure to go well again. Went very close last time and another big run looks on the cards off just 2lb higher.
7	7 (7) (7/2 +30%) Majestic Jameela	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(7) Majestic Jameela 7/2, Capitalised on handy opening mark at Plumpton (15.9f) in February and took a step forward up in trip when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f) 24 days ago. Should go well again despite being nudged up further 4 lb. Up 4lb for Huntingdon defeat but she's a willing mare who should have some say.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +29%) Crem Fresh	5 5/1(+29%)	(6) Crem Fresh 5/1, Made all in mares' handicap at Fakenham (20f) on her return in November and only just touched off at Leicester (15.5f) a week later. Form dipped thereafter but she did at least run better when third over 23.4f back at first-named venue in February. She did win her last race at about this trip (Fakenham in November) and heavy is fine.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +42%) Tilly Toughnut	7 7/1(+42%)	(4) Tilly Toughnut 7/1, Won a point bumper in November 2021 and showed much improved form to get off the mark under Rules on handicap debut at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) in February, suited by emphasis on stamina. Not in anything like the same form at Chepstow (19.5f) 3 weeks ago, however. Won easily at Exeter (7lb lower) and did not give her true running next time.
5	5 (5) (11/1 -120%) Our Pink Lady	11 11/1(-120%)	(5) Our Pink Lady 11/1, Lightly raced and firmly on the up now for in-form stable, scoring again in 4-runner event at Southwell last time. This is a bit more competitive but she merits plenty of respect in hat-trick bid with underfoot conditions holding no fears. Up 6lb since Southwell win latest but might take that in her stride.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -645%) Emily's Choice	14 14/1(-645%)	(3) Emily's Choice 14/1, Off the mark at seventh attempt in points and boasts a record over 2-2 over hurdles, conceding weight all round for the latest of them at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) in March. Cheekpieces go on for handicap debut and step up in trip may unlock further progress. Point winner who is 2-2 over hurdles; this mark no gift for handicap debut; trip can suit.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -250%) Ottoline	28 28/1(-250%)	(1) Ottoline 28/1, Imposing sort got off the mark in a Uttoxeter novice hurdle in December but failed to make an impact in 2 starts over fences earlier this year. Return to timber may have positive effect but present mark demands progress now handicapping in this sphere. Has to prove herself worthy of current mark but she won her last hurdle race (here).

A winner on the Irish point-to-point scene before scoring on her first two starts for Donald McCain, there is a lot to like about the chance held by EMILY'S CHOICE, who debuts in a handicap from a competitive mark and is a strong fancy to extend her winning sequence. Blue Beach has faced stiffer tests than this and is a must for the shortlist, while Crem Fresh is also dangerous to rule out.

Following a couple of in-the-frame efforts over fences initially this term, BLUE BEACH returned to this sphere at the top of her game when just touched off at Market Rasen 46 days ago and she looks sure to go well again partnered by Harry Cobden. Our Pink Lady and Emily's Choice are others fancied to be firmly in the mix.

Harry Cobden takes the ride aboard BLUE BEACH who has solid form credentials after only just missing out at Market Rasen.

7	7 (7) (4/1 +11%) Reverberation	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) Reverberation 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 11/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Consistent since joining this yard; has crept up the weights but should make presence felt.
3	3 (3) (9/2 +31%) Optik	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(3) Optik 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 6 days ago. Four winter wins but last week's well-held sixth at Southwell was somewhat underwhelming.
2	2 (2) (9/2 -13%) Mc'ted	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(2) Mc'ted 9/2, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago, driven out. Needs considering under a penalty. Clearcut winner at Wolverhampton on Tuesday; leading contender under a 5lb penalty.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +50%) Twilight Guest	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(4) Twilight Guest 9/2, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 3 lengths last of 7 to Optik in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Promise on several occasions but 0-17 overall and proving expensive to follow.
10	10 (10) (10/1 -82%) Crazy Maisie	10 10/1(-82%)	(10) Crazy Maisie 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 15/8, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 31 days ago. C&D winner off 1lb lower and notably consistent since; real each-way possibilities.
6	6 (6) (10/1 -100%) Come On John	10 10/1(-100%)	(6) Come On John 10/1, Three wins from 20 runs last year. 10/3, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 14 days ago, slowly away. Has fallen to a workable mark. Close fourth at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and again unlikely to be far away.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -11%) Frankfreya	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Frankfreya 10/1, C&D winner. 11/4, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this C&D. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Roger Teal. Others more persuasive. C&D winner last summer; may not be fully exposed after six runs; interesting for new yard.
9	9 (9) (11/1 -57%) Platinum Prince	11 11/1(-57%)	(9) Platinum Prince 11/1, Unreliable individual. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 37 days ago. Hasn't won since September 2022 and unplaced last five outings; needs to turn a corner.

Alice Bond coaxed the best out of Mc'ted at Wolverhampton on Tuesday and it's a logical move to have another go under a penalty. However, this is a deeper race and the slightly longer trip demands more so it may be more prudent to side with REVERBERATION, whose consistency is hard to fault and he can gain some just reward after a couple of second-placed finishes. Optik and Crazy Maisie complete the shortlist.

REVERBERATION continues to run well, simply unlucky to bump into one on a sharp upward curve at Wolverhampton last time, and he remains one to be interested in at this level. Mc'Ted was revived all of a sudden when scoring at Wolverhampton and remains potentially on a good mark under a penalty, while Come On John is threatening to come good now dipped below his last winning mark.

Mc'Ted commands plenty of respect under a penalty but slight preference is for the reliable CRAZY MAISIE each-way.

9	9 (9) (11/4 +0%) White Birch	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(9) White Birch 11/4, Smart colt, notably third in the Derby at Epsom in June. Bounced back from a lesser run in the Irish Derby when fourth in a Leopardstown Group 3 on final 3-y-o start. Won in the mud on last year's reappearance so these ground conditions won't worry him. Should go well. Might be better over 1m4f but the one to beat on figures if back to his best; new rider.
6	6 (6) (4/1 +27%) Maxux	4 4/1(+27%)	(6) Maxux 4/1, Took her form up a notch when winning 9f Fairyhouse fillies' Group 3 on her final start last year. Only had 4 starts so should have more to offer for her leading stable. Readily landed 1m1f Fairyhouse Group 3 in September; unraced on worse than yielding.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +50%) Village Voice	5 5/1(+50%)	(8) Village Voice 5/1, Useful filly who rounded off her 3-y-o season with a 10.5f Saint-Cloud Group 3 success on soft. All three wins on soft or heavy including Navan Listed contest on last year's return.
1	1 (1) (6/1 -20%) Greenland	6 6/1(-20%)	(1) Greenland 6/1, Smart colt who won a Group 3 in France last May. Last seen finishing 5¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Fantastic Moon in Prix Niel at Longchamp in October. Respected for top yard. Raced exclusively in France last year, winning Group 3 at Saint-Cloud on his second start.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -15%) Layfayette	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(2) Layfayette 15/2, Smart 3-time C&D winner, including this in 2022. Below par in Bahrain when last seen but capable of bouncing back. Multiple stakes winner including this race two years ago and will handle the ground.
3	3 (3) (10/1 +9%) Mashhoor	10 10/1(+9%)	(3) Mashhoor 10/1, Smart gelding who bagged listed/Group 3 wins here last summer. Has a penalty to shoulder but should still be competitive if ready to roll. Behind Lafayette and White Birch at Leopardstown on final start last term; ground concerns.
4	4 (4) (11/1 -10%) Crypto Force	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Crypto Force 11/1, Not seen since his Group 2 Beresford win over 1m here in the September of his 2-y-o season. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations after such a long absence. Every chance of staying 1m2f on pedigree but stiff task after an absence since 2022.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -14%) Helvic Dream	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Helvic Dream 16/1, Useful C&D winner. Latest Flat win here in October. Has also won over hurdles this winter but well held in a handicap at Fairyhouse last weekend. Others are preferred back on the Flat. Former Group 1 winner not at that level nowadays; race fit from hurdling.
7	7 (7) (66/1 +18%) The Shadow Lingers	66 66/1(+18%)	(7) The Shadow Lingers 66/1, Won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (1m, 66/1) on debut 52 days ago. Up in trip. Promising but very much pitched in at the deep end on second start. Was 66-1 when easily winning 1m AW maiden on debut in February; ordinary form though.

CRYPTO FORCE beat none other than Auguste Rodin on his debut back in June 2022 and although he hasn't been seen since winning the Group 2 Beresford Stakes over a mile here in September of that year, his class might see him through for him to make a winning return to action. Maxux impressed when running out a decisive winner of a Group 3 over 1m1f at Fairyhouse in September and she heads the dangers. If White Birch is back to the form which saw him finish third in the Derby at Epsom last summer, then he would be a big player.

Last year's Epsom Derby third WHITE BIRCH won a Group 3 in the mud on his 3-y-o reappearance and can start off his 4-y-o campaign in similar fashion. Maxus and Greenland head the dangers in a competitive Group 3, with all bar one of the runners already successful at pattern level.

Multiple stakes winner LAYFAYETTE won't mind conditions and generally goes well fresh so he is taken to land this for a second time

Drawn wider than ideal but arrives in top form and has to be respected from 4 lb higher mark. Reached new heights during a pretty busy AW campaign; tidy 2m win at Lingfield 8 days ago.
1	1 (1) (4/1 -20%) Novel Legend	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Novel Legend 4/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 7 runs last year. Well-beaten eighth of 11 to Double Major in Prix Royal-Oak (19/1) at Longchamp (15.4f, heavy). Off 160 days. Now 3 lb above last winning mark and merits respect back in a handicap. C&D winner; had a cracking campaign last term before his heavy defeats on last two starts.
14	14 (14) (5/1 +64%) Circuit Breaker	5 5/1(+64%)	(14) Circuit Breaker 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. 3/1, good second of 5 in handicap at Haydock (14f, soft), clear of rest. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett. Tongue strap on 1st time. Still relatively unexposed and has the physical scope to make a better 4-y-o. Left R Beckett for 260,000gns October; off since; tongue-tie now; lightly raced; potential.
12	12 (12) (6/1 +57%) Duty Of Care	6 6/1(+57%)	(12) Duty Of Care 6/1, C&D winner. 9/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. Looks competitive from this kind of mark but widest draw means he'll have work to do. Two C&D wins before 2nd in this race last year; has a 2lb lower mark; not disgraced lately.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +35%) Spirit Mixer	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(5) Spirit Mixer 13/2, Landed hat-trick in first half of 2022 but seen only sparingly since. Presumably needed run when eighth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 36 days ago. On an interesting mark if able to build on that. One race in 2023 and off 328 days before his stiff task five weeks ago, below form in both.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +29%) Sleeping Lion	10 10/1(+29%)	(4) Sleeping Lion 10/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 63 days ago. Consistent should do himself justice again, but others strike as better treated for win purposes. Won this race in 2021; C&D 3rd two months ago showed again that he should not be far away.
13	13 (13) (12/1 -336%) Sweet Fantasy	12 12/1(-336%)	(13) Sweet Fantasy 12/1, Won a pair of 1½m handicaps with give in the ground for Ralph Beckett last summer and 2-2 over hurdles in 2024 for her new yard. Interesting back on the Flat. Has won on AW; did well on soft since; needs to transfer improvement but highly respected.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -56%) Tritonic	14 14/1(-56%)	(2) Tritonic 14/1, In frame in Ascot Stakes and Old Borough Cup at Haydock (1¾m) last season. Notched a chase win in November and handicapped to play a prominent role if primed after 113 days off. Sole AW run was 2021; 3rd of 19 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) last June but others look more solid.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -43%) Splendent	20 20/1(-43%)	(9) Splendent 20/1, Latest win at Kincsem in September. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, soft, 11/2). Off 155 days. Makes polytrack debut. Remains on fair mark, so not discounted if seeing out the longer trip. Registered three turf wins last season; more to prove going beyond 1m6f for the first time.
7	7 (7) (33/1 -83%) Solent Gateway	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Solent Gateway 33/1, Won at Haydock last May before signing off for season with sound in-frame efforts at Newbury and York. Abject performance when last at Lingfield on retur, though, so bit to prove on back of that. Had a solid campaign last year and is effective over C&D; each-way chance if back on song.
3	3 (3) (40/1 -60%) Island Brave	40 40/1(-60%)	(3) Island Brave 40/1, Useful handicapper who scored in determined fashion at Haydock in 2022. Raced only once last season, when beaten 18 lengths second of 3 to Trawlerman in listed race at Newmarket (16f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Others preferred. Ran once 2023; reliable and effective on AW but the handicapper has not cut him any slack.
6	6 (6) (80/1 -60%) Manu Et Corde	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Manu Et Corde 80/1, Useful at up to 1¾m at his best for Jim Bolger in Ireland in 2022. Long absence to overcome on return for a new yard but he's still worth a precautionary betting check. Tongue tied first time. Ex-Jim Bolger; 70,000gns buy in October 2022 and this is his first outing since; AW debut.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -150%) Galactic Jack	100 100/1(-150%)	(11) Galactic Jack 100/1, Won at Salisbury in July for Andrew Balding but little show since, including over hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Anthony Charlton. Has work to do. First start since leaving Tony Charlton, for whom he was in modest form; not proven on AW.

Having found the Irish Cesarewitch and Prix Royal-Oak too much of a stretch at the end of last season, C&D winner NOVEL LEGEND should prove far more competitive in these calmer waters. James Fanshawe's inmate was a progressive stayer prior to those tall assignments and a fifth career victory could be in the offing. Sweet Fantasy has been in fine form over the sticks since joining James Owen and she's feared most now reverting to the all-weather, ahead of recent Lingfield scorer Aqwaam.

SWEET FANTASY has made a fine start to life hurdling for her new yard and looks an interesting contender returned to the Flat given her current vein of form. Circuit Breaker reached 260,000 gns for his primarily jumps-focused yard and is a particuarly intriguing runner on debut for Jonjo O'Neill, appealing very much as the type to do better at 4 yrs, with the in-form Aqwaam just preferred to Novel Legend for third.

The vote goes to SWEET FANTASY ahead of Novel Legend, Aqwaam and Circuit Breaker.

Fences may have settled him down and he made all over C&D last time; up 7lb.
5	5 (5) (10/3 +5%) Fine Casting	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(5) Fine Casting 10/3, Fairly useful hurdles winner who run to a similar level first 3 starts over fences, not looking well served by further drop back in trip when runner-up at Sandown (15.5f) in first-time cheekpieces. Rare poor effort at Exeter since but should bounce back granted stiffer test here. Solid start over fences until pulling up at Exeter; seems at his best racing left-handed.
1	1 (1) (9/2 -80%) Happy And Fine	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(1) Happy And Fine 9/2, Likeable sort who tasted success in handicaps on heavy at Leicester/Haydock at around this trip in December.

Tongue tied, strong in the market and every chance after 13 months off when third for new yard at Newbury 5 weeks ago. Wouldn't be certain to build on that now chasing but is a point winner. Bit to prove on recent form but this Irish maiden point winner should make a chaser.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +36%) Carbon King	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Carbon King 16/1, Three-time winner over hurdles in Ireland last season but December's win at Ffos Las over fences rates as a clear standout amongst his efforts this term (has failed to complete in 3 runs since, held when fall last in race here won by Jupiter du Gite latest). Risky. He was held when falling in Jupiter Du Gite's race here 21 days ago (22-1).

JUPITER DU GITE relished the step up in trip when making all over C&D last month. A 7lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent Gary Moore's gelding from going in again and he looks capable of better over fences. The biggest challenge may emerge from last-time-out Chepstow faller Happy And Fine, who appeared to be travelling okay before that mishap at the fourth-last obstacle, while a 40-day break may have freshened up Gardener.

HAPPY AND FINE went as though back in top form at Chepstow, falling 4 out when in front, and has a good shout here if none the worse. Jupiter du Gite has made a fine start over fences, scoring over C&D 3 weeks ago, and is a big player up 7 lb. Fine Casting is also respected.

There's a chance that fences will be the making of JUPITER DU GITE who was in command throughout here three weeks ago.

Makes handicap debut. Remains unexposed. Handicap debutant with a record of 3-5; could well prove himself worthy of this mark.
5	5 (5) (6/1 +14%) Casanova	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Casanova 6/1, Twenty eight runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 19 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D (heavy) 19 days ago. Fourth in the Irish Lincolnshire recently and Adam Caffrey takes off 5lb this time.

Crystal Black relished a return to 1m2f when landing the Northfields Premier Handicap here in September and he warrants respect on his return to action. However, the combination of a 9lb rise in the ratings and this drop in distance may leave Gerard Keane's charge vulnerable, so the race-fit MR RANGO edges the vote. The six-year-old offered plenty of encouragement in third on his stable bow over an inadequate 7f at Naas last month and he looks ready to land a race of this calibre. The progressive Grey Leader also demands a second look now handicapping.

Dual C&D winner SIRJACK THOMAS has been holding his form well in recent weeks could be ready to strike (2 lb below last winning mark) with the return to 1m in his favour. Grey Leader progressed to win 3 of his 5 starts as a 3-y-o so must be respected, while Fast Tara is potentially on a nice mark back in a handicap and starting out for a new yard.

The 8yo CASANOVA (nap) is back to a mark he should be winning off and it was an excellent return effort in the Irish Lincolnshire

Karl Burke holds big aspirations for Cuban Tiger, who showed sterling qualities to land last week's Burradon Stakes at Newcastle, where he comfortably accounted for Orne (third). This presents a stiffer test, however, with Royal Lodge third CAPULET a high-calibre opponent who sets the standard on the figures. Having broke his maiden on Polytrack at Dundalk on debut, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Justify colt has to be of considerable interest returning to action, with the Ballydoyle handler tasting success with two of his six previous Chelmsford runners.

CAPULET was placed in a couple of Group 2s as a juvenile so can make the most of the drop in class despite ideally wanting further than this now. Cuban Tiger improved again when winning a listed race at Newcastle last week and rates a big threat, while Orne finished over 3 lengths behind him that day but is now 5 lb better off.

Cuban Tiger and Orne are closely matched but CAPULET was placed in Group 2s last autumn and can beat them both if fully fit.

There was a lot to like about DEVOTED QUEEN's debut victory at Newmarket in October and another impressive performance here could even see her take up her engagement in the 1000 Guineas. Les Bleus posted some creditable efforts in defeat towards the end of last season's campaign and Richard Hughes' filly isn't taken lightly on her all-weather debut. Marcella and Ahlain aren't out of it either.

The regally-bred DEVOTED QUEEN made an impressive winning debut at Newmarket in the autumn and rates as the best prospect in this field, so is fancied to make a successful comeback with bigger prizes surely in her sights further down the line. Ahlain is proving steadily progressive and appeals as best of the rest, though Les Bleus would also hold sound claims on the pick of her juvenile form.

There was a lot to like about DEVOTED QUEEN's debut win last autumn and she can improve past Les Bleus and Ahlain.

A 7lb penalty for ROUGE DE L'QUEST's easy triumph at Ffos Las on Sunday looks far from insurmountable for the eight-year-old. A quick turnaround could make life tougher for Rebecca Curtis' charge, but he looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to double his tally. Glance From Clover shouldn't be inconvenienced by a return to this distance and the gelded son of Passing Glance may put up most resistance to the selection, ahead of top-weight Not Sure.

French-recruit JACKS PARROT made a decent start for this yard back from 3 months off when fourth at Carlisle and is potentially on a handy mark if building on that. Rouge de L'Quest responded well to a tongue strap when a comfortable winner at Ffos Las on Sunday so is feared most under a penalty.

Returned to 3m from a couple of marathon assignments, NOT SURE appeals as the way to go in a tight handicap.

Changed hands for €170,000 in November and has to be of interest returning in a maiden lacking depth. Ran to a smart level in five French defeats last year, from 6f to 1m; bought 170,000euros.

ECLIPSE EMERALD outran his odds to finish a highly-encouraging second over C&D in October and he should have learned a great deal from that debut experience. The son of Holy Roman Emperor has plenty of speed in his pedigree and, with normal progression, he could prove hard to beat. Ojw Legacy has finished third on both of her starts to date and she could still have more to offer, so she has to be considered as she takes a drop in trip. Any market confidence behind Judge Me Not on his debut would also be interesting.

FOLLOW ME displayed fairly useful form in a handful of starts in France during the second half of last term and, picked up for €170,000 thereafter, he looks to have been found a good starting point in a maiden lacking depth. Eclipse Emerald showed plenty to work on when second in a C&D maiden on debut in October and he's a lead threat. Panny Poe and newcomer Judge Me Not are others to keep an eye on.

Follow Me sets the standard on his French form but the Stack yard has two strong contenders in ECLIPSE EMERALD and Pansy Poe

German import Roxanne, who was 3-3 in her homeland, is a noteworthy contender on her UK debut under Ryan Moore, while Avon Light enters calculations after her determined victory in a decent handicap at Kempton. However, STRONG IMPACT was highly consistent during her three-year-old season and with the promise of more to come now she has probably strengthened up further, the daughter of Saxon Warrior appeals most for an in-form yard.

AYYAB has some strong form to her name and shaped well when second (despite interference) at Southwell recently so, with a fitness edge over her main rivals, she's the one to side with. Roxanne is unbeaten to date and looks an intriguing British debutante, while Strong Impact and Moogie should both have more to offer

A fascinating event can go to MOOGIE (nap), who may notch another personal best after landing a quickfire C&D double last autumn.

That form lacks substance but he could do no more than win easily. Holds Group entries. Impressed in the mud on sole 2yo run (8.5f); has some lofty entries; interesting contender.

May have more to offer but will need to raise his game a good bit to come out on top here. 2-4 as a 2yo, showing improvement when upped to 1m here on final run; this is tougher.
5	5 (5) (14/1 -180%) Witness Stand	14 14/1(-180%)	(5) Witness Stand 14/1, Useful on turf at 2, culminating with a second in Newmarket Group 3 in November. Switches to AW for the first time on return. Tudhope seemingly prefers Native Warrior. Did well on slow ground in the autumn, 2nd in a 7f Group 3 latest; likely more is needed.

A fascinating contest in which it is difficult to rule out anything, so only a tentative vote can go to VALVANO. The expensive Night Of Thunder colt, a taking winner on his debut at Nottingham in October, holds some lofty entries and this looks to be a good springboard en route to later targets. Notable Speech defeated subsequent Listed scorer Cuban Tiger over C&D in February and he is the main danger. Witness Stand, who finished a good second in the Horris Hill, heads the remainder.

The form of NOTABLE SPEECH's second C&D win was strongly boosted at Newcastle over Easter and he should prove hard to beat again. Nottingham debut winner Valvano and Karl Burke's Native Warrior are others who should do well this year and can fight it out for the forecast spot.

With his latest C&D win boosted, this looks good for NOTABLE SPEECH to extend his unbeaten record to three. Valvano is feared most.

KRUGER PARK appears to be going the right way based on his last couple of starts, having finished runner-up on his handicap bow at Fontwell before going one place better in authoritative style at Newbury. The handicapper reacted accordingly by putting him up 11lb, which is negated slightly by Freddie Gingell being able to use his full 5lb allowance as opposed to 3lb last time, and further progression may be forthcoming, especially now stepping up in trip. Accidental Legend, who has been a consistent performer of late, and the hat-trick seeking Here Comes McCoy appeal most of the remainder.

KRUGER PARK stands out as an unexposed improver in this field and even an 11 lb rise for Newbury doesn't look enough to stop him with the longer trip here promising to suit. Accidental Legend has remained in good form since his course win in December and can give the selection most to do.

The most interesting horse is KRUGER PARK (nap) who has reportedly taken time to come to himself. He's on the right track now.

EVENING BLOSSOM showed plenty of promise on her debut here over 7f and the form of that maiden has worked out well. A daughter of Australia, stepping up in trip should be no inconvenience to Joseph's O'Brien's Irish Oaks entry and she is narrowly preferred to Lady Doris, who herself was an eyecatcher first time out at Dundalk when staying on late for fourth. Opaque looks the pick of the newcomers for leading connections, while Nativity Square has already run twice this year so should be plenty fit enough.

EVENING BLOSSOM showed plenty on debut and there's the scope for a chunk of improvement, so she gets the nod over newcomer Opaque, who has plenty to recommend her on breeding and represents top connections. Lady Doris is another obvious player.

An Irish Oaks entry heightens interest in EVENING BLOSSOM who ran a thoroughly likeable first race here in October

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

Johnny Johnson has plenty of experience to draw upon and a winter break should have freshened him up for this return to action. However, 145,000gns newcomer CAPO VATICANO, a Calyx half-sister to a Listed winner in France, could have too much class for her rivals and Andrew Balding's filly can take this en route to bigger things. Rebel Empire may post an improved bid on his third start and with Ryan Moore booked.

CAPO VATICANO is related to numerous winners and represents a top yard, so she's worth chancing to make a successful start in a race where the bar isn't set high at all. Rebel Empire shaped quite well last time and looks the obvious danger, while Johnny Johnston could, theoretically, make his presence felt if he returns back on his game.

This looks a sound opportunity for REBEL EMPIRE to get off the mark, with the drop in trip not expected to pose him too many problems.

AZURE ANGEL was able to maintain her unbeaten all-weather record when recording an eyecatching success at Newcastle in February, and a subsequent 4lb rise might not be enough to stop the progressive daughter of Harry Angel. Knebworth responded well to first-time cheekpieces when on target at Doncaster and must be respected, along with Ferrous, who beat him at Wolverhampton, and the returning Fresh.

AZURE ANGEL is highly progressive and had something to spare when getting the better of another improving sort at Newcastle last time, so she boasts excellent claims once more. Ferrous and Knebworth also arrive on the back of career-best, winning efforts, so they could well trouble the selection.

Ferrous has obvious claims but AZURE ANGEL, 4-4 on AW, won tidily at Newcastle on her return and may not have reached her ceiling.

REALCO made a promising start for a stable more renowned for their chasers than bumper horses when third at Chepstow last month under similar conditions and that experience may prove to be vital today. Rockchoeur has shown ability on both starts to date and he's capable of having a big say, while any market support for Misteroddsocks would make him of considerable interest.

REALCO made a solid start when third of four at Chepstow first time out and might be able to improve enough to get the better of Rockchoeur, who shaped well on debut before a lesser effort. Kalize is the pick of the newcomers.

The filly KALIZE could easily be the answer on her debut for a yard that wins bumpers for fun.

Stag Night built on his runner-up display here when just getting up in the closing stages to head Two Stars at Cork last week. Both command plenty of respect and the latter may well reverse the form with a 2lb swing, but a chance is taken with TOUGH TALK. Best known for making a winning debut here in April 2022 when getting the better of Little Big Bear and Shartash, things didn't go to plan last season. However, a promising effort after a gelding operation when fourth at Leopardstown in July gave hope he was heading in the right direction and the handicapper has given him an excellent chance to bounce back.

TWO STARS has been going the right way for a while and is fancied to turn the tables from old rival STAG NIGHT following a tight finish at Cork a week ago. Laugh A Minute also arrives on the back of a solid effort and deserves respect.

The evergreen 9yo LAUGH A MINUTE was a luckless third here last month and he looks sure to be seriously involved

8	8 (8) (11/2 -57%) Zivaniya	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(8) Zivaniya 11/2, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (5/1) at Kempton (16f) 10 days ago, well positioned. In good nick and can go well again. Seemingly aided by tongue-tie when belatedly coming good with two Kempton wins last month.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +42%) Coolnaugh Haze	7 7/1(+42%)	(2) Coolnaugh Haze 7/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 22/1, good seventh of 16 in handicap at this course (14f) 8 days ago, hampered. Visor on 1st time. Didn't run badly in valuable 1m6f handicap here on Good Friday; new trip/headgear today.
9	9 (9) (7/1 -100%) Natacata	7 7/1(-100%)	(9) Natacata 7/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 9/4, creditable 1½ lengths second of 6 to Zivaniya in handicap at Kempton (16f) 35 days ago, always prominent and every chance. Respected. A maiden after 16 starts but has posted two good efforts this year (one over C&D).
3	3 (3) (22/1 +56%) Champagne City	22 22/1(+56%)	(3) Champagne City 22/1, Last of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Veteran who struggled on consecutive outings at Southwell last month; too risky.

LEGACY POWER relished the step up in distance when opening his account over this trip at Kempton in February. The Andrew Balding-trained four-year-old is effectively racing off a 2lb lower mark if taking Callum Hutchinson's 3lb claim into account, with first-time cheekpieces expected to help too. The biggest threat may emerge from fellow last-time-out winner Zivaniya, who likely has more to come in retained blinkers. Natacata also makes some appeal at the foot of the weights.

LEGACY POWER, a 400,000 gns yearling, remains with few miles on the clock and can follow up his February Kempton success. Zivaniya was another winner from the front at that track last week and looks set to go well again along with old-rival Natacata.

Recent Kempton winners Legacy Power and Zivaniya are respected but NATACATA is taken to get an overdue win on the board.

Off 10 months and 4/5, second of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) 66 days ago, no match for subsequent handicap winner. More to come now handicapping for leading yard.

Makes handicap debut and could improve again. Beat Neptunes Staircase by a neck at Navan in October; scopey sort and well bred.
11	11 (11) (14/1 -40%) St Faz	14 14/1(-40%)	(11) St Faz 14/1, 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, very good third of 22 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 91 days ago.

13	13 (13) (16/1 -14%) Whimsy	16 16/1(-14%)	(13) Whimsy 16/1, Second of 4 in novice hurdle (6/5) at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Poor on last Flat run. On a very tempting mark. Has been handling heavy ground well over hurdles lately and race fitness will be an asset.
16	16 (16) (22/1 -10%) Valleyoftheeagles	22 22/1(-10%)	(16) Valleyoftheeagles 22/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) when last seen. Off 8 months. Blinkers on 1st time. Wouldn't dismiss. Hurdles winner not beaten far when mid-division on Flat handicap debut at Killarney.
14	14 (14) (22/1 +12%) Young Lucy	22 22/1(+12%)	(14) Young Lucy 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. Seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Cork (16f, soft) 153 days ago. One to consider. Bumper winner faces stiff task on handicap debut after five months off, ground not ideal.
1	1 (1) (22/1 +33%) Edge Of Darkness	22 22/1(+33%)	(1) Edge Of Darkness 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Charlie Johnston when below form seventh of 14 in claimer at Dundalk (10.7f, 13/2) 22 days ago, not knocked about.

7	7 (7) (33/1 -65%) Voice Of Reason	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Voice Of Reason 33/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. 11/1, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when seventh of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 102 days ago.

Poor/ungenuine hurdler for this yard. 50/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 22 days ago. Won on heavy in Britain; not done much over hurdles for this yard, ok AW run last month.

Having been narrowly denied by the reopposing Bay Of Sanibel at Navan in October, NEPTUNES STAIRCASE went agonisingly close once again when touched off by the now 97-rated Queenstown over C&D the following month. The pair ought to be closely matched on their switch to handicap company, although Ger Lyons' gelding is proven on heavy ground and can exact his revenge. Carlo Bianconi, runner-up on both of his career starts, should relish a step up in trip, while others to note include Nostringsattached and Narlita.

NOSTRINGSATTACHED likely has more to offer this year and is taken to make a successful return back at the scene of her September success. Dangers include Neptunes Staircase, Carlo Bianconi and St Faz in a good-looking handicap for the grade.

A competitive finale in which the unexposed NEPTUNES STAIRCASE, touched off in a C&D maiden at the back-end of last season, gets the nod

5	5 (5) (11/2 +45%) King Of Ithaca	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(5) King Of Ithaca 11/2, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) when last seen, not ideally placed. Off 121 days. Enters calculations. Ended 2023 with two good efforts over C&D; returns from four-month break today.
11	11 (11) (6/1 +20%) Harry The Haggler	6 6/1(+20%)	(11) Harry The Haggler 6/1, Latest win at Kempton in November. 3/1, respectable 2 lengths fifth of 11 to Once Adaay in handicap at this course (8f) 76 days ago. Began year with three good runs in January but may find others better handicapped here.
6	6 (6) (7/1 +65%) Surprise Picture	7 7/1(+65%)	(6) Surprise Picture 7/1, Three wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 22/1) 7 days ago. Largely consistent since ready win off 2lb lower in January; well drawn; high on the list.
10	10 (10) (8/1 -60%) Freetodream	8 8/1(-60%)	(10) Freetodream 8/1, 7/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) under this rider 31 days ago. Can go well again up 3 lb. Back up in grade after last month's Kempton win but at least we know he's in good nick.
1	1 (1) (8/1 -14%) Smart Deal	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Smart Deal 8/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (3/1) at this course (8f) 28 days ago, showing good attitude. Respected again. Front-runner; battled well for 1m course win last month; shade vulnerable after 2lb rise.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -14%) Island Native	8 8/1(-14%)	(2) Island Native 8/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in February. 5/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago, eased off. Should bounce back. Career-best effort when very close second over C&D last month; 3lb rise demands even more.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +44%) Wake Up Harry	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Wake Up Harry 9/1, Blinkered for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 15/8) 54 days ago, cosily. Cheekpieces back on. Remains well treated and good shout again. Drawn wide today but is 2-4 for Brian Toomey and must be considered in current form.

KING OF ITHACA didn't do himself any favours when caught out wide and pulling too hard over C&D back in December, but the way he finished off his race was encouraging and this represents a drop in grade for the son of Ulysses. There wasn't much to separate Once Adaay (first) and Island Native (second) over track and trip last month, and the latter is now 1lb better off. A winner of two of his last four Chelmsford starts, including over further most recently, Smart Deal may be the chief threat to the selection.

A competitive race for the grade, with WAKE UP HARRY taken to make it 3-5 for his new yard having scored cosily at Wolverhampton when last seen 8 weeks ago. Smart Deal and Once Adaay, who is unbeaten here, are a couple of others respected having also won last time out.

On a workable mark even before Joe Leavy's useful 5lb claim is considered, SURPRISE PICTURE is taken to exploit his favourable draw.

Nudged up 4 lb and big player again on that evidence. More exposed than some of these but came good with ready win at Wolverhampton last week.
6	6 (6) (5/2 +9%) Blacklion	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(6) Blacklion 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden who showed first form when second of 6 on handicap debut here (1m) on penultimate start. Well backed, raced too freely when seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, evens) 15 days ago. Not one to write off returned to 7f. Below form after racing too freely last time; good second here on h'cap debut two runs ago.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -36%) Lord Danielson	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(2) Lord Danielson 15/2, Maiden who ran best race yet when runner-up over C&D in February and dispelled a lesser effort when fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 17/2) 31 days ago, weakening last ½f. Should go well again with Rossa Ryan a positive booking. Went close over C&D in February and returns here after very respectable Kempton run.
4	4 (4) (11/1 -10%) Brinton	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Brinton 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in maiden (28/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW). Off 7 months.

Possible she could build on that here. 33-1 for last month's handicap debut but ran well until fading into fourth; a possible.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -14%) Red Troop	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Red Troop 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 21 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Made underwhelming handicap debut over 6f last month; moves up in trip here.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -75%) Clionia	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Clionia 28/1, Didn't offer a great deal in handful of starts as a juvenile for Gemma Tutty and not fared any better in 4 runs for present yard, fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (8f) in this headgear mix 23 days ago. Needs to show more. Unable to make a significant impact off basement marks in four handicaps for new stable.

Now that the penny has dropped for PROFITMAN after a taking success over this distance at Wolverhampton last week, the son of Profitable should have plenty more to come off a 4lb higher mark. Ruth Langmore (fourth) had Lord Danielson (fifth) less than a length behind at Kempton most recently and both are capable of being in the shake-up. Related to a host of winners, Brinton is of interest on her handicap debut.

PROFITMAN opened his account in the style of one with a good deal more to offer when defeating 8 rivals at Wolverhampton 7 days ago and a 4 lb rise for that breakthrough success shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid. Blacklion isn't one to be giving up on at this sort of level, and along with Lord Danielson, heads up the dangers.

It's worth giving another chance to BLACKLION, who ran well in defeat here on his handicap debut two starts ago.

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.
