13:15 Newcastle Listed (Class 1) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (5.5/1 +21%) Dear My Friend	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(5) Dear My Friend 5.5/1, Pivotal colt who won novices at Carlisle (6f) and Beverley (7.4f) first 2 starts. Better form in defeat since, 4¼ lengths third of 9 to Flying Honours in Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (10f, good, 11/2). Off 6 months. Respected back down in trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 +13%) Flight Plan	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(6) Flight Plan 6.5/1, Night of Thunder colt who left debut run well behind to win 10-runner novice event at this course (7.1f), ridden out to pull well clear of rest with runner-up. Off 147 days. Open to further improvement (Entered for 2000 Guineas, Dante).
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -118%) Galeron	12 12/1(-118%)	(7) Galeron 12/1, Useful colt. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Showed improved form stepping up to 7f when winning valuable 19-runner sales event at the Curragh (7f, good to soft, 16/1), keeping on well. Off 6 months. Makes AW debut. Will stay and form pick (entered for 2000 Guineas).
4	2 4th (2) (18/1 -13%) Benacre	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Benacre 18/1, Three wins from 5 starts at 2 yrs, improving again to take 5-runner nursery (10/3) at Goodwood (7f, good), well on top finish. Off 180 days. Likely to go on improving given his physique.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -136%) Chuzzlewit	33 33/1(-136%)	(3) Chuzzlewit 33/1, 450,000 gns Showcasing colt who found the penny dropping late on (well backed) when fifth in a Redcar novice (6f) on debut in July. Showed a bit more pitched into Group 2 Gimcrack before leading dying strides in Ayr novice. Off 6 months. Others have achieved more but remains with potential.
6th	9 6th (9) (14/1 -27%) Oviedo	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Oviedo 14/1, Winning debut at Doncaster in July and better form when 3¾ lengths third of 9 to Chaldean in Acomb Stakes at York a month later. Failed to give his running in valuable sales race at the Curragh so bounce back is required. Off 167 days. Makes AW debut.
7th	4 7th (4) (66/1 -100%) Dark Thirty	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Dark Thirty 66/1, Debut winner at Newbury in May but below par last 3 starts, seventh of 9 in nursery at Chester (7f, good to soft, 33/1). Off 6 months. Makes AW debut.
8th	8 8th (8) (4/1 +11%) Obelix	4 4/1(+11%)	(8) Obelix 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Won 6-runner novice event at this C&D (1/4), hard held. Off 6 months. More needed here but is progressive and from top stable.
9th	1 9th (1) (1.75/1 +42%) Arabian Storm	1.75 1.75/1(+42%)	(1) Arabian Storm 1.75/1, Twice-raced winner. Close second in decent Newmarket maiden before landing odds in similar event at this course (7.1f, 1/4) 23 days ago, pushed out. Remains a useful prospect (entered for 2000 Guineas).
10th	10 10th (10) (22/1 -38%) Rousing Encore	22 22/1(-38%)	(10) Rousing Encore 22/1, Useful colt. Easily best effort when runner-up in Mill Reef at Newbury, no chance with winner. Only 3½ lengths fourth of 8 to Alpha Capture in listed race at York (6f, good to soft, 8/1). Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Player on best form.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 +24%) Tenjin	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Tenjin 25/1, Useful gelding. 14/1, good close third of 7 in class 2 event at Kempton (8f) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not taken lightly.

LTO Selection:

Dear My Friend made the frame in the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket last autumn, and also took third behind subsequent Breeders' Cup winner Victoria Road in France, and he sets the standard on official ratings. However, ROUSING ENCORE's second in the Mill Reef just shades things when it comes to prestige and the Richard Fahey-trained colt could be the one to side with now he steps up in trip. Obelix holds a 2000 Guineas entry and also has to be feared.

GALERON progressed well at 2 yrs, bagging a valuable big-field sales event at the Curragh on his final start, and gets the vote with that form looking rock solid. This does look a very competitive listed race though, with useful prospects Arabian Storm and Flight Plan heading the dangers.

Plenty have possibilies in this fascinating event but the Gosdens' impressive C&D winner OBELIX gets the vote on his return.

13:15 Newcastle Listed (Class 1) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -25%) Mr Inspiration	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) Mr Inspiration 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Kempton in February. Very good fourth of 11 in handicap back at that venue (12f, 11/2) 28 days ago, outpaced home turn and keeping on. This sort of test may be on the sharp side on that evidence.
2	16 2nd (16) (14/1 -27%) Sausalito	14 14/1(-27%)	(16) Sausalito 14/1, Comes here on a roll, landing quick-fire 5-timer in a C&D handicap last month. Not disgraced despite having winning run ended from career-high mark when third back here 7 days ago and this demands even more.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 +0%) Dream Harder	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Dream Harder 14/1, Improved model for Ian Williams, adding to his tally at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. Probably best not judged too harshly on either of his starts since and worth noting he remains unexposed at this sort of trip.
4	1 4th (1) (9/1 +10%) Buxted Too	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Buxted Too 9/1, Enjoyed a highly-productive winter, gaining sixth success since October over C&D in March. Not in same form when fifth at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 3 weeks ago but bounce back certainly not ruled out.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +0%) Satono Chevalier	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Satono Chevalier 5/1, Irish raider who comes here on a roll, readily landing back-to-back Dundalk handicaps at around this trip in February. Mark has understandably risen considerably but feasible to think he's not yet reached his limit.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 +50%) Idee Fixee	6 6/1(+50%)	(9) Idee Fixee 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/5, creditable second of 7 in minor event at this course (10f, AW) 30 days ago, no match for winner. Present mark looks a workable one and he's totally unexposed at this sort of trip so possibilities with cheekpieces enlisted.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -135%) Legendary Day	20 20/1(-135%)	(4) Legendary Day 20/1, Made a fine start for this yard, tasting success over hurdles at Sedgefield (16.8f) in November and landed each of his last 2 starts on the Flat, latterly at Newcastle (12.5f) 24 days ago. Should remain competitive operating from 3 lb higher mark.
8th	13 8th (13) (11/1 -10%) Dinoo	11 11/1(-10%)	(13) Dinoo 11/1, 5/2, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 43 days ago, decisively on top at the line. Longer trip within range and rider's claim off sets subsequent rise in weights so he's worth a second look.
9th	7 9th (7) (3/1 +33%) Vega Sicilia	3 3/1(+33%)	(7) Vega Sicilia 3/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in December. Evens, good second of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 36 days ago, clear of rest. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Expected to be bang there.
10th	14 10th (14) (9/1 +18%) Muzaffar	9 9/1(+18%)	(14) Muzaffar 9/1, Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 7 to Legendary Day in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 10/11) 24 days ago, having plenty go wrong in the race. Remains unexposed on back of just 6 career starts and strong chance he can rate higher still.
11th	15 11th (15) (50/1 -79%) Thefastnthecurious	50 50/1(-79%)	(15) Thefastnthecurious 50/1, Winner at Southwell in January. 9/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 45 days ago, nearest finish. Clearly in good form but this rates tougher.
12th	3 12th (3) (18/1 -13%) Pirate King	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Pirate King 18/1, 4-time C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 6 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 36 days ago, not well served by a modestly-run affair. Stronger gallop will help returned to a venue he's often saved his best for.
13th	11 13th (11) (20/1 +9%) Fairmac	20 20/1(+9%)	(11) Fairmac 20/1, Back on last winning mark, returned to form following 4 months off when 1¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Legendary Day in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 11/2) 24 days ago, rallying last ½f. However, suspicion is he will find a few too good here.
14th	12 14th (12) (28/1 -12%) Pistoletto	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Pistoletto 28/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Never figured in face of stiff task when 18½ lengths last of 8 to Lord North in Winter Derby at this course (10f, AW) 41 days ago. This more suitable bothers make greater appeal on balance.

LTO Selection:

Satono Chevalier has really found his stride since being campaigned over 1m4f, with two comfortable victories recorded in the space of five days at Dundalk in February. The Irish challenger, however, does race off a 12lb higher mark on these shores and he may prove vulnerable to the progressive VEGA SICILIA. The four-year-old lost little in defeat when runner-up to the improving Barenboim at Newcastle last month and the application of first-time cheekpieces might aid his cause further. The lightly-raced Mr Inspiration should have more to offer and is another to note.

Plenty hold claims in a competitive opener and it may pay to side with VEGA SICILIA. Runner-up on each of his last 3 starts in handicaps, he pulled a long way clear with a thriving sort on the latest occasion at Newcastle 5 weeks ago and the application of first-time cheekpieces may just put an extra edge on him here. Irish-raider Satono Chevalier, low-mileage 4-y-o Muzaffar and Idee Fixee head up the dangers, whilst Dream Harder isn't underestimated either.

This can go to SATONO CHEVALIER who, despite a big hike in the weights, can complete the hat-trick after two emphatic wins at Dundalk.

13:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	13 1st (13) (28/1 +15%) Harry With Style	28 28/1(+15%)	(13) Harry With Style 28/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 16/1) 11 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.
2	12 2nd (12) (6/1 -50%) Exceed	6 6/1(-50%)	(12) Exceed 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (5f) 3 days ago, outpaced over 1f out and keeping on well last ½f. This slightly longer trip will suit and he's one to be interested if turned out quickly.
3	2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +47%) Zous Baby	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(2) Zous Baby 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, last of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford (5f) in November, no room last ½f and finishing with running left. Absent/switched yards since and interesting what the market makes of him here.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 +10%) Mintana	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) Mintana 9/1, Latest win at Chelmsford (5f) in February. 15/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 32 days ago, not clear run. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt.
5th	15 5th (15) (4.5/1 +25%) Captain Dandy	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(15) Captain Dandy 4.5/1, Had displayed signs of ability prior to getting off the mark in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 25 days ago, well served by the leaders going off hard in front. Still, he may yet have more to offer from this sort of mark.
6th	16 6th (16) (28/1 +44%) Tranquillity	28 28/1(+44%)	(16) Tranquillity 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 17 in nursery (40/1) at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in October. Needs to find good deal of improvement on the back of a break to figure. Tongue strap on 1st time.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/1 -38%) Twayblade	11 11/1(-38%)	(1) Twayblade 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Captain Dandy in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/2) 25 days ago, weakening when hampered inside final 1f.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -43%) Regal Glory	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Regal Glory 20/1, Winner at Lingfield in December. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap back at that venue (7f, AW) 11 days ago. Proved consistent in handicaps to date and she rates an each-way player if proving as effective on turf.
9th	14 9th (14) (12/1 -33%) Ok Pal	12 12/1(-33%)	(14) Ok Pal 12/1, Winner at Kempton in February. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Clearly still in good form and expected to give a good account back down in trip from a handy draw.
10th	7 10th (7) (14/1 +0%) Furnicoe	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Furnicoe 14/1, 12/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 32 days ago, weakening when met some trouble final 1f. Mark has eased a little more now eased slightly in trip.
11th	6 11th (6) (20/1 -25%) Lukla	20 20/1(-25%)	(6) Lukla 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, good fourth of 8 in nursery at Ripon (5f, good to firm) in August, outpaced before rallying final 1f. Stiffer test may well suit ideally moving forward.
12th	3 12th (3) (14/1 +13%) Byefornow	14 14/1(+13%)	(3) Byefornow 14/1, Course winner. 25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 27 days ago, not much room. Return to turf may help now.
13th	9 13th (9) (28/1 +44%) Kodi Dancer	28 28/1(+44%)	(9) Kodi Dancer 28/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 100/1) 27 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time.
14th	17 14th (17) (33/1 +0%) Lashes	33 33/1(+0%)	(17) Lashes 33/1, Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Muredach Kelly when seventh of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 7 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.
15th	5 15th (5) (8/1 -14%) Ma Famille	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Ma Famille 8/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, progressed a little more when second of 7 in maiden at Kempton (5f) 44 days ago, no match for winner. Far less exposed than most and in good hands so further improvement likely now handicapping.
16th	11 16th (11) (50/1 -52%) Enterprising Lady	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Enterprising Lady 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 158 days. Makes handicap debut and betting may prove a useful guide.
17th	10 17th (10) (50/1 -100%) Wrenegade Lad	50 50/1(-100%)	(10) Wrenegade Lad 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (5f) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

LTO Selection:

The unexposed MA FAMILLE steps into handicap company on a workable mark and could provide the answer to a tricky contest. The daughter of Starspangledbanner showed improved form in two spins on the all-weather in February and having chased home a progressive opponent when a good second at Kempton last time out, she is worth following switched back to turf. Mintana is respected in the first-time cheekpieces, while Furnicoe and Regal Glory are others worthy of consideration.

EXCEED ran his best race to date and caught the eye to boot when runner-up at Southwell (5f) 3 days ago, outpaced over 1f out and keeping on well last ½f. He gets the nod to come out on top back on turf from a handy draw. Ma Famille chased home a next-time-out winner at Kempton in February and is feared on handicap debut, with Mintana and Captain Dandy completing the shortlist.

The vote goes to CAPTAIN DANDY, who won at Wolverhampton last month and is a big player if he can transfer his progress back to turf.

13:40 Bath Handicap (Class 6) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:50 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (2.75/1 -22%) Shaquille	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(5) Shaquille 2.75/1, Promising sort. Three wins from 4 runs last year. 2/1, career best when winning 8-runner novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f). Off 125 days. Hood back on. Should progress further and leading contender.
1	2 1st (2) (11/1 +31%) Desert Cop	11 11/1(+31%)	(2) Desert Cop 11/1, Has improved with every run and got off the mark having his first go at 6f when making all in good style in Kempton novice 51 days ago. Bare form needs improving upon quite a bit, however.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 +33%) Shouldvebeenaring	2 2/1(+33%)	(6) Shouldvebeenaring 2/1, Useful colt. Three wins from 7 runs last year. 3/1, 1¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Iconic Moment in listed race at Lingfield (7f, AW) 34 days ago, left poorly placed. Expected to be bang there.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 +12%) The X O	22 22/1(+12%)	(7) The X O 22/1, Fairly useful colt. Latest win at Southwell in February. 1¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Danger Alert in handicap (10/3) at Kempton (6f) 30 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains open to improvement but others still preferred.
4	3 4th (3) (50/1 -127%) Michaela's Boy	50 50/1(-127%)	(3) Michaela's Boy 50/1, Useful colt. Course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 12½ lengths eighth of 9 to Perdika in listed race (9/1) at Chantilly (5.5f, soft) 17 days ago, possibly unsuited by the soft ground returned to turf. Progressive on AW so worth another chance.
5th	10 5th (10) (6.5/1 -18%) Perdika	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(10) Perdika 6.5/1, Prolific on the AW last year (4-5), latest win at Kempton in December. Took form to another level when narrow winner of listed event at Chantilly 17 days ago by a head. Respected.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -38%) New Definition	11 11/1(-38%)	(4) New Definition 11/1, Useful colt. Latest win at Lingfield in December. Excellent short-head second of 7 to Iconic Moment in listed race at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month before excuses at Chelmsford last week.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -50%) Glorious Angel	33 33/1(-50%)	(8) Glorious Angel 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Course winner. Latest win here in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/1) 11 days ago. Vulnerable to progressive sorts.
8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 +0%) Hello Queen	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Hello Queen 12/1, Better for debut when winning novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f) and progressed again to defy penalty at this C&D 35 days ago, making all and beating a subsequent winner. Respected but needs to take another big step forward.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 +44%) Danger Alert	9 9/1(+44%)	(1) Danger Alert 9/1, Fairly useful gelding. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 5/2) 30 days ago, suited by emphasis on speed. This tougher.

LTO Selection:

PERDIKA has already faced some stiff tests on her travels this year but she has coped with them admirably, as is testified by her Listed triumph in France last month. This is tougher back against the boys, but her sex allowance creates strong hope that she will again rise to the challenge. Shouldvebeenaring, who wasn't beaten far in the Spring Cup at Lingfield, has progressed well and should be capable of another bold showing. Shaquille heads the remainder.

SHAQUILLE took his form to another level when defying a penalty at Wolverhampton in December, clocking a good time in the process, and he shades the vote over Shouldvebeenaring, who was left with too much to do at Lingfield last time. Perdika is another to consider having won a listed event at Chantilly last month.

Perdika and Danger Alert are greatly respected but SHAQUILLE is a classy sprinter in the making and can make it 3-3 over 6f.

13:50 Newcastle Stakes (Class 2) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 3) 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	12 1st (12) (9/1 -13%) Carzola	9 9/1(-13%)	(12) Carzola 9/1, Lightly-raced winner. 5/1, career best when winning 4-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 35 days ago, drawing clear final 1f and well on top finish. That shouldn't prove her limit and she's in excellent hands. Well worth a second look.
2	2 2nd (2) (4.5/1 +78%) Halic	4.5 4.5/1(+78%)	(2) Halic 4.5/1, Low-mileage sort who is beginning to make up for lost time, off the mark over 12f here in January and career-best display when following up on yard debut at Chelmsford (13.3f) by 2½ lengths from Protected Guest 6 weeks ago. Can give another good account now tackling this even longer trip.
3	8 3rd (8) (28/1 -211%) First Emperor	28 28/1(-211%)	(8) First Emperor 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in January. 4/1, good second of 7 in handicap back at that venue (2m) 9 days ago, no extra only late on. Ought to give another good account.
4	14 4th (14) (10/1 +60%) Blow Your Horn	10 10/1(+60%)	(14) Blow Your Horn 10/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Last of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (10f, 11/1) 22 days ago, needing stiffer test. This rates more suitable from his much-reduced mark but he may just be vulnerable to less exposed sorts.
5th	13 5th (13) (20/1 -43%) Khadaash	20 20/1(-43%)	(13) Khadaash 20/1, Didn't kick on in bumpers but more like it switched to this code, building on his maiden exploits to land 2m Dundalk handicap (2m) 5 weeks ago, staying on to lead final 1f. Remains very low-mileage for a 6-y-o and shrewd stable no stranger to success on these shores.
6th	5 6th (5) (33/1 -83%) Danni California	33 33/1(-83%)	(5) Danni California 33/1, 4/1 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 74 days ago, doing it readily having been produced to lead over 1f out. Blinkers again the headgear of choice having been given a short break ahead of this.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 -17%) Diamond Bay	14 14/1(-17%)	(4) Diamond Bay 14/1, C&D winner. 11/4, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly.
8th	7 8th (7) (20/1 -25%) Pons Aelius	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Pons Aelius 20/1, Four wins from 16 runs last year, including London Stayers' Final at Kempton (2m) in December. Not seen to best effect in a muddling contest back at that venue last month and he's an each-way player on balance.
9th	9 9th (9) (1.75/1 +13%) Mr Escobar	1.75 1.75/1(+13%)	(9) Mr Escobar 1.75/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 13-runner maiden (5/6) at Dundalk (12f) 79 days ago, headed briefly 1f out and finding extra. Shapes as if he'll stay further and he's a most intriguing handicap debutant having joined top Irish NH yard.
10th	11 10th (11) (28/1 +15%) Forge Valley Lad	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Forge Valley Lad 28/1, Course winner. Latest win here in February. 15/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Significantly up in trip.
11th	6 11th (6) (14/1 +13%) Haku	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Haku 14/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 8/1) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Significantly up in trip.
12th	1 12th (1) (50/1 -25%) Protected Guest	50 50/1(-25%)	(1) Protected Guest 50/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. 7/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago, carrying head awkwardly but keeping on. Finished runner-up in this race from 2 lb higher mark 12 months ago but likely he'll find a few too good here.
13th	3 13th (3) (6.5/1 -117%) Ehteyat	6.5 6.5/1(-117%)	(3) Ehteyat 6.5/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 11/8, very good neck second of 10 to First Emperor in handicap at this C&D (AW) 76 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there.
14th	10 14th (10) (28/1 -12%) Silverscape	28 28/1(-12%)	(10) Silverscape 28/1, Course winner. Creditable 2¼ lengths second of 6 to First Emperor in handicap (5/2) at Kempton (16f) 72 days ago, running on. Stronger gallop to aim at will aid his cause here and he remains low-mileage at around 2m.

LTO Selection:

MR ESCOBAR may well need to improve to win off his opening mark, but that looks a distinct possibility having joined Willie Mullins since his maiden triumph at Dundalk in January. Ehteyat was headed near the finish by reopposing rival First Emperor over C&D in January, but may gain his revenge now 8lb better off in the weights and is feared most. Halic arrives in fine form and is another who can't be discounted as he bids in his quest to land a hat-trick.

MR ESCOBAR has improved with each outing in maidens in Ireland, getting off the mark at the third attempt at Dundalk in January. Stepping up in trip on handicap debut, he's joined a leading NH outfit and it would be no surprise to see him make a bold bid with Ryan Moore in the plate. Carzola is going the right way and she's feared along with Ehteyat. Halic may also have more to offer now his stamina is drawn out further.

John McConnell's KHADAASH is preferred to Halic, Ehteyat and Mr Escobar. Stacks have each-way claims.

Final start at Wolverhampton in October was disappointing though and she's still to prove herself as effective on turf.
6th	10 6th (10) (8.5/1 +6%) Autumn Angel	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(10) Autumn Angel 8.5/1, Winner at Southwell in February. 5/2, sixth of 9 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f) 24 days ago, brief headway 2f out and no extra final 1f.

Never reached same level in handful of starts thereafter, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, soft) in September but she's another who may well revive on the back of a break.
9th	13 9th (13) (11/1 -38%) Shesadabber	11 11/1(-38%)	(13) Shesadabber 11/1, Good second of 12 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy, 9/2). Off 164 days. First run for yard after leaving Michael Mullineaux and no surprise to see her go well on the front end.

12th	8 12th (8) (20/1 +29%) Frisky	20 20/1(+29%)	(8) Frisky 20/1, Last of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive.
13th	9 13th (9) (4.5/1 +10%) Enraged	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(9) Enraged 4.5/1, Two wins from 4 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in February. Good third of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 8/1) 14 days ago, headway under pressure 1f out and keeping on. Yard continues in good form and she ought to be thereabouts again.
14th	2 14th (2) (16/1 -14%) Sows	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Sows 16/1, 5f maiden winner who made bright start for this yard last spring, fifth at listed level before good third in 5f Goodwood handicap in May. Progress stalled in trio of starts thereafter, last of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las in September but time to catch her may well be fresh.
15th	5 15th (5) (50/1 -100%) Alaskan Jewel	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Alaskan Jewel 50/1, C&D winner. 22/1, last of 7 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm). Off 8 months and market may well prove a useful guide ahead of this.
16th	17 16th (17) (66/1 -65%) Red Allure	66 66/1(-65%)	(17) Red Allure 66/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year. Ninth of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (5f). Off 171 days. First run for yard after leaving Rebecca Menzies. Needs a couple of these to falter.
17th	12 17th (12) (9/1 -29%) Show Compassion	9 9/1(-29%)	(12) Show Compassion 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, keeping on final 1f. Likely she can be competitive now switched to turf.

LTO Selection:

ENRAGED finished with a rattle when a good third at Newcastle a fortnight ago and, from a handy draw, she could be hard to repel with Richard Kingscote now doing the steering. Having only raced eight times on turf, Julie Camacho's consistent filly still has more to give and she is taken to register another personal best. Kensington Agent looks a live danger and is taken seriously, while dual course winner Bluebell Time is not dismissed.

A typically wide-open affair with the narrow vote in favour of ENRAGED. Having ended last year in good form, she's continued the good work on AW since the turn of the year and, with the Julie Camacho stable continuing in fine form, she gets the nod to come out on top. The returning Sows, Kensington Agent and Four Adday are just a trio of others to consider.

Plenty have possibilities but Julie Camacho's progressive filly ENRAGED gets the vote ahead of triple turf winner Mary Of Modena.

Career best when winning 5-runner minor event (6/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 27 days ago by head from Fleurman, having run of race. Won this last year and should make another bold bid.
9th	1 9th (1) (50/1 -25%) Aced It	50 50/1(-25%)	(1) Aced It 50/1, Fairly useful gelding. Latest win at Kempton in January. Fourth of 6 in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (16f) 6 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Difficult ask.

LTO Selection:

BERKSHIRE ROCCO has a touch of class and has scope to go further now he's proven he has the stamina. His last two performances suggest a race of this nature is within his compass and, with the in-form Oisin Murphy back in the saddle, all the pieces fit together well enough to expect a big run from the six-year-old. Earlofthecotswolds doesn't have much to find with the selection judged on their encounter at Kempton in February, while Nolton Cross is also fancied to be thereabouts.

BERKSHIRE ROCCO is making up for lost time now and had a few of these in behind when runner-up to a smart one at Kempton 8 weeks ago. The likely stiffer test here will suit and he looks the one to beat. Barenboim continues to go from strength to strength for this yard and must be respected despite slight stamina doubts, while last year's winner Earlofthecotswolds just held off Fleurman at Wolverhampton last month and there shouldn't be much between the pair again.

Berkshire Rocco is the form horse on recent evidence but FLEURMAN and Earlofthecotswolds are appealing alternatives.

LTO Selection:

BREWING kept his unbeaten record intact when winning with a gutsy display at Newcastle in December and William Haggas' charge is fancied to continue his upwards trajectory now tackling a mile for the first time. Final Voyage has been given a short break since his creditable runner-up efforts at Dundalk and he warrants consideration with top apprentice Billy Loughnane now in the saddle. Aussie Banker and Mulgrave both arrive at the top of their game and add further spice to the mix.

BREWING won all 3 of his starts last year, still showing signs of greenness when making a successful handicap debut at Newcastle on his final outing, and he can extend his winning sequence with further progress to come. The main danger could be Aussie Banker who has been progressing nicely this winter, with Irish-raider Final Voyage another to consider.

A chance is taken with HAFEET ALAIN who has winning form over C&D and is on a favourable mark if rediscovering anything like his best.

LTO Selection:

The in-form Meisterzinger will be popular after his brace of wins in classified events at Kempton and he is respected running off 4lb lower than his last winning handicap rating. However, his two previous efforts on turf need to be bettered and he is worth taking on. Having won from the same mark at Yarmouth last summer, FAST FORWARD fits the bill on these terms and he is effective with some give underfoot. Hill Station completes the shortlist.

FAST FORWARD has made the frame at Wolverhampton on his last 2 starts, despite having a hopeless task from his position on his latest outing, so he could be ready to return to winning ways this time around. C&D winner My Brother Mike is feared most with his reappearance run behind him, ahead of the hat-trick seeking Meisterzinger.

Dominic Ffrench Davis's horses ran well at Doncaster last Saturday and BOY GEORGE (nap) is handicapped to play a leading role.

LTO Selection:

Freescape has failed to make much of an impact out in Dubai, but he shouldn't be underestimated now back home and he warrants respect. However, FOREST OF DEAN shaped better than the bare form when weakening into sixth in the Winter Derby - a prize he claimed in 2021 - and the John Gosden-trained seven-year-old is fancied to regain the winning thread in these calmer waters. His stablemate Harrovian finished ahead in fourth on that occasion, but could only manage third when the selection struck over this C&D in January.

FOREST OF DEAN started 2023 with a cosy C&D success and has less on his plate than when sixth to stablemate Lord North in Lingfield's Winter Derby so looks the way to go. Irish-challenger Freescape shouldn't be underestimated and is next on the list ahead of Base Note, who wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time.

Preference is for the in-form NOTRE BELLE BETE now back up in trip. Forest Of Dean is feared most ahead of stablemate Harrovian

5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 -17%) Aberama Gold	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Aberama Gold 14/1, C&D winner. 13/2, only eleventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.
6th	9 6th (9) (8.5/1 +29%) The Green Man	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(9) The Green Man 8.5/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 9/4) 24 days ago. One for the shortlist.
7th	11 7th (11) (3.5/1 +30%) Walking On Clouds	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(11) Walking On Clouds 3.5/1, Already a three-time winner this year. 11/2, posted another very good effort when second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago, finishing well. Expected to be bang there on her polytrack debut.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +0%) Tolstoy	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Tolstoy 7/1, Good fourth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 13 days ago, despite being slowly away. It's now eleven runs since his last win, though.
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -60%) Epsom Faithfull	16 16/1(-60%)	(1) Epsom Faithfull 16/1, Four wins from 7 runs last year. Last of 10 in 5f listed race here 41 days ago when unsuited by drop in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time and not taken lightly back at 6f.
10th	3 10th (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Adeb	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(3) Adeb 5.5/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 10/3) 48 days ago with a bit in hand. Enters calculations on his polytrack debut.
11th	5 11th (5) (6.5/1 -18%) Laheg	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(5) Laheg 6.5/1, Two wins from 5 runs last year, latest at Wolverhampton in December. 13/2, good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 35 days ago. Needs considering once more.

LTO Selection:

Epsom Faithfull has struggled in much deeper waters recently, including when finishing last here in Listed company over 5f in February. She can improve at this level, but the vote goes to the Chris Dwyer-trained SIR OLIVER. The gelded son of Dark Angel runs off the same mark following a decent third at Chelmsford last month and could be worth siding with down in class. Shalaa Asker has to shoulder a 5lb penalty following a game win over this trip, also at Chelmsford, last Saturday and has to enter the reckoning with Ryan Moore in the saddle.

Lots with chances. WALKING ON CLOUDS is enjoying an excellent 2023 and can garner a fourth success on the back of his very good second here last time out. Epsom Faithfull will benefit from stepping back up in trip and is next on the list, although recent Chelmsford City scorer Shalaa Asker and in-form pair Laheg and Adeb need factoring in too.

A hot race in which EPSOM FAITHFULL is given another chance to confirm the promise of her Listed fifth over C&D in February.

14th	11 14th (11) (18/1 +55%) Grand Canal	18 18/1(+55%)	(11) Grand Canal 18/1, C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (13.1f, firm). Off 9 months but no forlorn hope.

LTO Selection:

Gastronomy remains unexposed and must hold every chance of building on a fair fifth over an extended mile at Wolverhampton, but a chance can be taken with ALPINE STROLL. He is now rated just 2lb above his last winning mark and a drop in class from his reappearance at Kempton last month could see him improve back on turf. Grand Canal and Atlantis Blue add further spice to the mix.

Lots with chances but Roger Varian's GASTRONOMY appeals as the sort to take a sizeable step forward now he goes handicapping with his stamina drawn out more so gets the vote. Cabrakan enjoyed a good winter over hurdles for Milton Harris and is feared most back in this sphere, with both Atlantis Blue and Reach weighted to have a say.

There are ifs and buts about all the runners but KING EAGLE is open to improvement at this trip for his new yard.

3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 -10%) The Wizard Of Eye	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) The Wizard Of Eye 11/1, Useful colt. Cheekpieces on first time (retained), career best when winning 4-runner listed race (20/1) at Kempton (1m) by 3½ lengths from Tinker Toy, having run of race from front. More will be required if he's to follow up here.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -29%) Lord Of The Lodge	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Lord Of The Lodge 18/1, Course scorer whose latest win came at Southwell (7f) in January. 4/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f again) 27 days ago. Lingfield listed third in February shows he stays 1m but this track provides a stiffer test at the trip.
5th	4 5th (4) (2.75/1 +31%) Positive	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(4) Positive 2.75/1, Group 3 winner as a juvenile in 2019. Understandably took a bit of time to find his feet again after returning from a long absence last summer but AW handicap wins at Wolverhampton and Kempton this winter suggest he's every bit as good as ever. Leading claims.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +33%) San Andreas	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) San Andreas 4/1, Smart gelding who got his head back in front in 1m Dundalk conditions race last month. Top Irish stable's British runners always command plenty of respect.

LTO Selection:

BERKSHIRE SHADOW looked back to his best when winning the Lady Wulfruna Stakes at Wolverhampton last month and the 2021 Coventry Stakes hero can stamp his class on this contest too. Positive is rated 5lb inferior to the selection, but is clearly in good heart having completed a brace of handicap victories. He is feared most, ahead of Irish raider San Andreas, who struck over this distance in taking fashion at Dundalk last time out.

POSITIVE has looked right back on song when landing a pair of very useful AW handicaps this winter and is narrowly preferred to last month's Wolverhampton listed winner Berkshire Shadow. Irish-raider San Andreas may prove best of the remainder.

Irish raider SAN ANDREAS went very close in this last year and can emerge on top this time, having bolted up at Dundalk in March.

5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -100%) Civil Law	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) Civil Law 16/1, Four wins from 9 runs last year. 4/1, respectable 3¼ lengths seventh of 13 to War In Heaven in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 53 days ago, not clear run. Booking of Ryan Moore takes the eye but his draw isn't ideal.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 -14%) Farasi Lane	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Farasi Lane 16/1, 8/1, didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 31 days ago, staying on to lead close hime. Retains handicapping scope on peak form but he is unproven at the trip.

11th	6 11th (6) (20/1 -122%) Dembe	20 20/1(-122%)	(6) Dembe 20/1, Big improver at the start of last year, culminating with a win in this race. Started 2023 with 3 creditable placed efforts and seemingly just stretched by1½m in a truly-run race last time (likely still in form). Considered.
12th	11 12th (11) (8/1 +0%) Million Thanks	8 8/1(+0%)	(11) Million Thanks 8/1, 16/5, good second of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 6 days ago, running on. Up in trip. Benoit de la Sayette takes a handy 3 lb off. Respected.
13th	5 13th (5) (12/1 +0%) Queen Of Ipanema	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Queen Of Ipanema 12/1, Won first 5 handicaps at the end of 2022 and back on the up with cosy 1¼m Newcastle win 29 days ago. Respected under William Buick.
14th	14 14th (14) (28/1 -12%) Tequilamockingbird	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) Tequilamockingbird 28/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. Started 2023 with 2 respectable efforts but below par when 5¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Queen of Ipanema in handicap at Newcastle 29 days ago.

LTO Selection:

Although WAR IN HEAVEN failed to secure a fifth consecutive win when stepping up in class for his latest outing at Wolverhampton, he is entitled to bounce back at this level and is worth another crack here. Storm Catcher was a game winner over this trip at Chelmsford in February and he can have a say in proceedings off 4lb higher, while Obsidian Knight is capable of being in the mix.

It's fair to say this is wide open. DIDEROT has started 2023 with 3 very solid efforts and gets the vote but there are lots of dangers, headed by Obsidian Knight, who has a good course record, Million Thanks and last year's winner Dembe.

The choice is OUTBREAK who was unlucky not to go even closer when fourth in the Lincoln Trial last month after meeting early trouble.

14th	10 14th (10) (33/1 -83%) He's Our Star	33 33/1(-83%)	(10) He's Our Star 33/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton (7f) in December. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago. All his wins have come over shorter trips than this.

LTO Selection:

A game winner over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month, CARACRISTI makes plenty of appeal on her return to turf and she is fancied to have another big say in proceedings. Philip Kirby's filly has been handed a 2lb rise and can go in again. Well Prepared arrives on a hat-trick bid and should not be taken lightly back in handicap company, with Ebury and He's Our Star just a couple more to bear in mind.

The suggestion is SUPERSTAR DJ who has fewer convictions than the majority of these and shaped quite well for a long way on his Southwell reappearance 7 weeks ago. Daphne May is better than she showed last time and remains well treated on her best form so she's a possible threat. Latent Heat is another with plenty of handicapping scope if primed for this reappearance, while Knight of Kings won comfortably on the previous occasion he encountered soft turf and is one to monitor in the betting.

The step back up in trip should be a firm plus for KNIGHT OF KINGS on his second start back from a long absence and he's the pick.

5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 +20%) Fiduciary	40 40/1(+20%)	(2) Fiduciary 40/1, 6-y-o mare who ran to a useful level in North America but exploits have been mixed upon joining present yard, albeit not beaten far when last of 7 in Wolverhampton fillies' handicap (7f) 11 days ago.

6th	6 6th (6) (18/1 +40%) River Pride	18 18/1(+40%)	(6) River Pride 18/1, Dual 7f winner for Richard Hannon and better than ever to open account for present yard at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago, getting first run but always holding on. Needs to pull out a good deal more if she's to follow up in this higher grade, however.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 +0%) Smiling Sunflower	100 100/1(+0%)	(7) Smiling Sunflower 100/1, Scored on debut for Mick Appleby at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January and similar form in defeat from higher marks in trio of outings since. However, she's another with plenty to find on these terms and likely set to struggle.

LTO Selection:

It is hard to look past MANAAFITH, who beat the boys in Listed company over a mile at Lingfield. A drop in trip may not be enough to stop the Roger Varian-trained filly adding to her tally because she accounted for Aramis Grey over this distance at Southwell on New Year's Day. Queen Aminatu progressed at a rate of knots towards the back end of 2022 and is feared most on her return to the fray. Aramis Grey has held her form since that Southwell defeat at the hands of the selection, and saw off last week's impressive Cammidge Trophy scorer Vadream at Lingfield.

MANAAFITH stretched her unbeaten record on synthetics to six when posting a career-best display to land a listed event at Lingfield in February and, with further progress on the cards, she rates the one to side with again. That said, Queen Aminatu is compiling a very solid record of her own and shouldn't be underestimated. Hodd's Girl can do best of the others.

This is probably between Manaafith and QUEEN AMINATU (nap), and the votes goes the latter who sets the standard on her return.

LTO Selection:

SPRING PROMISE was receiving 7lb from Choisya when coming out on top in a tight finish here in February, but the latter has since run well from a mark of 84 in handicap company, so the unexposed daughter of Lope De Vega doesn't look overburdened by her opening mark of 78, with further improvement likely. Sayifyouwill won a similar C&D event in February and she must be respected raised just 1lb, along with Miss Bella Brand, who should appreciate a step up in trip having finished a staying-on second at Chelmsford last time.

SPRING PROMISE had more in hand than the bare margin suggests when winning her maiden over C&D 7 weeks ago and an opening mark of 78 may underestimate her. The unexposed Incrimination is a possible threat, while the reliable Granary Queen should be in the mix again.

Although taking on seasoned rivals, SPRING PROMISE (nap) should have more to give at 7f. Sayifyouwill is preferred of the others.

LTO Selection:

In a wide-open contest, a chance is taken with SCHUMANN. Richard Hughes' charge couldn't land a blow across his three qualifying runs, the latest of those over 6f. He should be suited by the return to further, however, and first-time cheekpieces could spark an improved effort. Landlordtothestars has been running well on the all-weather recently and he looks capable of playing a part back on the grass. Others to note include Double Down and Eight Mile.

DOUBLE DOWN improved having been ridden closer to the pace when just edged out at Kempton 4 weeks ago and should go well up 2 lb and in a change of headgear. Eight Mile showed good speed stepped up to this trip when scoring at Lingfield last week and rates a big threat under a penalty, while Landlordtothestars should be in the mix if seeing out this longer distance.

Richard Hughes's horses are running well and SCHUMANN is the pick with the step back up in trip promising to suit on handicap debut.

Cheekpieces back on. Plenty to find even if back to best.

Last of 3 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 5/4) 34 days ago, needing stronger gallop. 6f may be ideal nowadays but others still preferred.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 -18%) Exalted Angel	33 33/1(-18%)	(4) Exalted Angel 33/1, Useful gelding. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 27 days ago. Opposable in this field.

LTO Selection:

ANNAF has taken his game to a new level this winter and completed a hat-trick when keeping on strongly to land Listed honours at Lingfield. The son of Muhaarar can continue his forward momentum, but Vadream bounced back to winning form in emphatic style at Doncaster last weekend and can give him plenty to think about. Diligent Harry was denied by the selection at Lingfield and after then defying top weight in handicap company here, struggled in France. He still merits consideration, as does Mums Tipple.

ANNAF has thrived on the AW this year, overcoming the run of the race when completing the hat-trick in a listed race at Lingfield 2 months ago, and appeals as the most likely winner. Diligent Harry was a neck behind the selection that day and has since won a C&D handicap so rates the main threat once again, while Vadream can't be ignored after her impressive win at Doncaster on Saturday.

Annaf is on a roll but the veteran SUMMERGHAND might be able to reverse February placings with him at this stiffer track.

That form has worked out, so she must enter calculations back from a break.
7th	1 7th (1) (3/1 +25%) Huberts Dream	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Huberts Dream 3/1, Shrugged off a penalty to complete a hat-trick in straightforward fashion over C&D in December.

8th	7 8th (7) (7.5/1 +6%) Maharajas Express	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(7) Maharajas Express 7.5/1, Lightly-raced winner who wasn't seen to best effect when last of 8 on handicap debut at Kempton (6f, 9/4) 30 days ago, badly hampered final 1f and not recover. Worth another chance.
9th	6 9th (6) (20/1 -67%) Matching Sox	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Matching Sox 20/1, Lightly-raced winner. Creditable second of 5 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 54 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Can remain competitive.

12th	12 12th (12) (100/1 -150%) Warminster	100 100/1(-150%)	(12) Warminster 100/1, Winner at Kempton in January but was below form at Chelmsford last week. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

LTO Selection:

EXPERT AGENT arrives in search of a hat-trick having recorded back-to-back successes recently, the latest of those coming over C&D, and a subsequent 5lb rise in the handicap might not be enough to halt further progress. Huberts Dream is weighted to reverse the form with his recent Wolverhampton conqueror Democracy Dilemma, and he should appreciate the return here, where he boasts three wins from four visits. Havana By The Sea should not be underestimated on her return from a 113-day absence.

EXPERT AGENT has returned from a break a much-improved model and there's no real urge to oppose him in his hat-trick bid after having scored with a bit up his sleeve over C&D last time. Havana By The Sea ran well in a race that's worked out well at Southwell on her most recent outing, so she must enter the reckoning, while Maharajas Express is worth another chance having had little go right on his handicap debut at Kempton.

Expert Agent is greatly respected but HUBERTS DREAM can resume winning ways back at 6f.

LTO Selection:

Waleyfa is 2lb well-in under a 5lb penalty having claimed classified honours last week and she merits respect along with Come To Pass, who continues to run well in defeat and was beaten less than a length by Recuerdame at Lingfield. SEATTLE KING split them on that occasion, but Phil McEntee's gelding is extremely well treated judged on past exploits and recent performances on the all-weather would suggest it might not be long until he cashes in on a sliding handicap mark.

WALEYFA opened her account in impressive fashion on her first outing for Allice Haynes at Lingfield 11 days ago and looks well treated under a 5 lb penalty on that effort back in handicap company, so the follow up is very much on the cards. Seattle King and Moon Over The Sea head the opposition.

This can go to WALEYFA who is 2lb well in under a penalty for her successful stable debut at Lingfield 11 days 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.
