ALNILAM bolted up over 2m here two starts ago before being highly tried and put in his place in Grade 2 company over track and trip last month. The son of Sea The Stars has since switched to the in-form Olly Murphy yard and he could have too much class for these. Dollar Collar got off the mark on her second start over the smaller obstacles at Hexham and, with improvement forthcoming, she could have a say. Of the remainder, Tigga Time makes the most appeal.

ALNILAM will find this much easier than the Grade 2 Premier he contested here last month and can get back on track with victory. Dollar Collar, who beat a subsequent winner at Hexham, and Ozzy Cosmo are the dangers.

This looks good for ALNILAM, who cruised to a 2m course win in February and can be excused his subsequent Grade 2 defeat.
Class & Speed Card

The wheels fell off MAXIMUM IMPACT after a bright start with victories at Leicester and Ascot, as he disappointed at the Royal meeting when finishing last in the Windsor Castle. He failed to fire in two subsequent outings, but a change of scenery, along with the handicapper giving him a chance, makes him of interest. Dashing Harry has been gelded since his Bath success in October and is capable of being in the mix, while Kendall Roy appeals most of the remainder.

Much depends on the state of the ground. Provided it's good or faster, MC LOVEN could be the way to go on the back of his encouraging reappearance fourth in a fairly valuable 6f handicap on the all-weather at Lingfield. On that evidence, this drop back in trip is just what the doctor ordered. The Coffee Pod and Maximum Impact won't mind some give underfoot, a remark which also applies to Irish raider Kendall Roy, while the unexposed Dashing Harry also merits respect.

Preference is for DASHING HARRY who improved in three starts last year and looks just the type to carry on progressing this season.
Class & Speed Card

Lahardaun made every yard to score over 2m4f at Hexham last month and he is likely to go well once again in first-time cheekpieces. However, the vote goes to BOTH BARRELS, who only found the favourite too good when hitting the crossbar over an extended 2m4f at Ayr in February and he makes only his second handicap start off the same rating, so looks the way to go. Last-time-out winner Gypsey's Secret holds an obvious chance too.

GYPSEY'S SECRET belatedly opened her account when beating Artic Mann by 3¼ lengths at Carlisle recently and Sandy Forster's 9-y-o is fancied to kick on now up and running at the expense of Lahardaun, who was a shade fortunate to score at Hexham last month but is lightly raced and should have more to offer. Woodie Flash scored under this rider last month and he can edge out Both Barrels for third.

This can go to BOTH BARRELS (nap), who ran well in defeat on his handicap debut at Ayr in February and should still have more to offer.
Class & Speed Card

KING OF LIGHT makes plenty of appeal on paper, being a 160,000-euro purchase at the Goffs November foal sale, and Karl Burke's colt is expected to know his job on his racecourse bow. Off The Bench is entitled to step forward from his debut effort at Southwell, while others capable of a decent showing include Clay Shoveler and newcomer Golden Paradise.

Karl Burke saddled a newcomer to win this race last year and KING OF LIGHT is another likely-looking type for the yard. Indeed, he fetched €160,000 as a foal and is bred to make a 2-y-o, so the hint should be taken if the market vibes surrounding this colt are upbeat. Fellow newcomer Golden Paradise is marginally preferred to likely improvers Majestic Heights and Jimmy Henry for forecast purposes.

The runners with experience set an ordinary standard. KING OF LIGHT and Golden Paradise are appealing types among the newcomers.
Class & Speed Card

LARGY TRAIN is seeking the four-timer after justifying favouritism at Carlisle on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 7lb for that success. Harry Hogarth's seven-year-old continues to improve and he can go in again, with his main danger likely to be Indian Louis. The son of Mahler is 1lb lower than his close-up third in a class 4 event at Ayr last time and has to be of interest, while Empty Nest also has claims.

Lots of these enter calculations but the vote goes to GRAND VOYAGE who hinted at a revival when fourth at Carlisle last time and now figures on an attractive mark. Empty Nest fluffed his lines at Catterick but still heads the list of dangers at these weights with Indian Louis, Stowaway John and Largy Train all in the mix too.

Largy Train will no doubt go well again but INDIAN LOUIS can jump better than when close up last time at Ayr and he gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

HARPER'S FERRY has achieved a solid level of form on both outings to date, finishing runner-up to a pair of useful types trained by Ralph Beckett. The most recent of those at Doncaster last month saw him come well clear with the winner and a repeat of that performance should be more than enough to go one better. That said, Raging Al represents the same connections of both winners the selection has bumped in to and his pedigree, out of a Listed-winning filly who broke her maiden over C&D in impressive fashion, makes him of interest. Poniros and Dambuster are others likely to go well.

It's hard to look beyond HARPER'S FERRY, who went close on his sole 2-y-o start and was again narrowly denied on return in a maiden at Doncaster where he pulled well clear of the rest. He is clearly held in high regard (entered in the Dante and Derby) and should take this en route to better things. Newcomer Raging Al represents the connections that have foiled the selection on both of his appearances and this son of Sea The Moon is second choice ahead of Dambuster.

An interesting novice. HARPER'S FERRY leads the way on form and would have has much potential as any of these moving forwards.
Class & Speed Card

Prince Des Fichaux was only collared in the final strides in the Eider Chase at Newcastle in February. However, the combination of a 5lb rise in the ratings and marked drop in trip may leave the seven-year-old vulnerable, with NO RISK DES FLOS making most appeal. Olly Murphy's charge was given a lot to do on his first attempt over 3m when fourth at Sandown last month and a race of this nature looks within his compass. Your Own Story is unlikely to be far away either.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to YOUR OWN STORY who should strip fitter for his reappearance Newcastle second and can go one better off a handy-looking mark. Charlie Uberalles is another weighted to go well with in-form duo Val Dancer and No Risk Des Flos also in the picture.

Last season's Scottish National sixth YOUR OWN STORY arrives here fresh and on the back of an encouraging reappearance.
Class & Speed Card

Having opened her account in comfortable fashion at Thirsk in June, DEAR DAPHNE could make light work of a 6lb rise on her return to action. George Scott has his string in good order and the four-year-old may further enhance her trainer's strong start to the season. Fellow last-time-out winners Under The Twilight and Amazonian Dream are other key contenders on their seasonal bows, with the former feared most at this level.

AMAZONIAN DREAM signed off last season with a C&D success and, still on a fair mark up 4 lb, he may well repeat the dose if fully tuned-up. There are dangers aplenty, headed by Surrey Noir, who will be a danger to all if translating his improved all-weather form to turf, while Tiger Bay will be a live contender if fit enough to do herself justice following nine months off and Under The Twilight, who scored at Salisbury when last seen in October, also has claims.

As regards the runners who have already raced in 2024, LEAP ABROAD looks the pick. Dear Daphne is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Having completed a quick-fire double at Ayr in February with some authority, EIRE STREET is taken to defy a further 8lb rise in the ratings. Jackie Stephen's gelding has proved a different proposition since handicapping and there looks to be more in the locker. The main threat may emerge from the progressive Eloi Du Puy, who has enjoyed a fruitful campaign with four victories to his name, while North Parade should give another good account.

EIRE STREET was the ready winner of his first 2 handicaps in February and could easily still be well treated after an 8 lb rise. Kilta is another who has quickly made his mark in handicaps and is second choice ahead of the thriving Eloi Du Puy. Hold-up performer Zwicky should be picking off a few late if getting a good pace to aim at, while Faithfulflyer is well treated if a short break helps to spark a revival.

Eire Street launched his handicap career with two emphatic wins but preference is for KILTA, who also still has potential.
Class & Speed Card

First-time cheekpieces were enough for Bishop's Crown to land the spoils at Doncaster in August and another prominent showing is forecast. However, the Havana Gold gelding is likely to be priced accordingly and a race-fit SERGEANT PEP could be worth chancing. The Clive Cox-trained inmate shouldn't be judged too harshly on his reappearance seventh on the all-weather a fortnight ago and this return to turf could prove fruitful. Hodler boasts a similar profile and an improved effort looks likely.

In the hope that the ground continues to dry out, EXPERT AGENT could be the answer to this competitive handicap. He twice made the frame over C&D off higher marks last season and should be spot-on following his spin over 5f at Newcastle last month. Crazy Luck may also have benefited from a pipe-opener on the all-weather and she is greatly respected off this reduced mark, while Coco Bear and Sergeant Pep also enter calculations.

Last year's winner COCO BEAR gets the vote, ahead of Capote's Dream who has been placed twice in this contest.
Class & Speed Card

CELESTIAL FASHION was rewarded for her consistency when opening her account at Newcastle last month. The daughter of Telescope is effectively racing off the same mark now that Joe Williamson's 3lb claim can be used, and a brace could be on the horizon. Bridgetjoans is relatively unexposed and she posted her best effort to date when runner-up in a first-time visor at Catterick in February. Simon Waugh's mare is a viable alternative to the selection, with C&D winner Atlantic Dancer also noted.

CELESTIAL FASHION has been going the right way this season and gained a first success of her career at Newcastle last time, rallying to get the better of the odds-on favourite, so she is taken to follow up in her current form. Dual C&D winner Atlantic Dancer ran well at Ayr on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Lexie's Moon.

The 6yo LEXIE'S MOON held her own against higher-rated opposition at Kempton and she's of strong interest with Brian Hughes booked.
Class & Speed Card

PERSEVERANTS posted his best effort of the year when a close-up second at Doncaster last time out. A 2lb rise in the handicap looks far from insurmountable and compensation may await for Scott Dixon's inmate. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Mudskipper, who was last seen gaining a breakthrough victory at Salisbury in September, while recent runner-up Mapogo isn't easily dismissed either.

DREAM PIRATE shaped well after a lay-off when seventh at Kempton a fortnight ago and can now capitalise on a lenient mark with his usual headgear refitted. Perseverants is feared most on the back of a good Doncaster second, with in-form pair Mapogo and Arcadian Nights also considered.

If ready for business after his break then it wouldn't be a surprise should MUDSKIPPER be too good for these.
Class & Speed Card

SOLDIER OF ROCK is very much the one to beat in here judged on this year's point-to-point form. He finished a head second in that sphere in February before going one better last month, and this looks a really good opening for the six-year-old now he's under Rules. Red Opium heads the list of dangers from recent point runner-up Toucan Sam.

Not an easy race to weigh up, with most of the form on offer from the pointing field. SOLDIER OF ROCK was a facile winner of his latest start between the flags and is more appealing than most. Toucan Sam is the one with the best form under Rules and, having finished a clear second in a point last time, he is feared most ahead of Bentley Road and Red Opium.

The most obvious answer is SOLDIER OF ROCK, who delivered on promise shown in Ireland when winning easily on his British point debut.
Class & Speed Card

PHOENIX PASSION hit the frame on his return to action after being gelded in November and he goes off an unchanged mark. Ed Walker's three-year-old makes his return to turf and he could be the one to beat. Jolty Jem lost a shoe when fourth at Wolverhampton and may do better off a 1lb lower rating, while Dan Dee Prince is of interest in first-time blinkers.

SAVVY WARRIOR's third at Ffos Las last summer reads well (4 of his 8 opponents are now rated in the 90s) and he could be primed to make a successful return having been gelded. Amancio and Phoenix Passion, who have AW runs under their belts, are dangers.

The vote goes to PHOENIX PASSION (nap), who has strong claims on his 1m form and remains unexposed. He's Got Game is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

Maritime Lady has stepped forward with each start to date and has to be a leading contender based on her second at Wolverhampton last month. That said, it wouldn't be a major surprise if the fourth from that contest, REYAADAH STAR, proved capable of reversing that form. Charlie Johnston's filly was essentially making her debut on that occasion, having unseated at Southwell on her official first racecourse appearance when leaving the stalls, and the extra distance is sure to suit. Newcomer Haydarieh completes the shortlist.

REYAADAH STAR showed promise on what was effectively her debut when fourth at Wolverhampton last month, staying on having still had plenty to do under 2f out, and she can take a step forward to open her account. She is taken to reverse the placings with Maritime Lady from when the pair met 23 days ago, with Kingmont completing the shortlist.

Maritime Lady sets the standard, but she wouldn't be sure to confirm latest Wolverhampton running with REYAADAH STAR.
Class & Speed Card

Olly Murphy enjoyed a winner in this sphere at Market Rasen recently and newcomers representing this yard are always respected. Kapal Layar is therefore considered, along with Irish point-to-point winner The Final Word. The vote is for RED NED, though, who has experience on his side and would have a great chance if coming back to the form of his Southwell second in November.

Those with experience don't set the bar that high so this may go to a newcomer, with KAPAL LAYAR the suggestion for a stable with a very healthy 22% strike-rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Inoue is another debutant from a yard which does well in bumpers, while Red Cadillac may prove best of those who have already seen the racecourse.

Top of the list is KAPAL LAYAR, who has an attractive pedigree and represents a stable that does very well in bumpers.
Class & Speed Card

Hakuna Babe was victorious by just under a length over C&D in October and she is likely to be on the premises off a 2lb higher mark on her first start for the Ed Walker stable. However, preference is for previous C&D winner FAST STEPS, who returned from a 235-day break to finish fifth at Kempton earlier in the month, which could have put him spot on for this assignment off a 1lb lower rating. Tarbaan and Mildyjama are others to watch out for.

HAKUNA BABE could have more to offer in 2024 for her new yard and is taken to make a successful return. Celebrating Ethel, also starting out for new connections, and Rival are a couple of others to note in a competitive heat.

Preference is for HAKUNA BABE, who scored in a higher grade here last time out. Fast Steps is second choice.
Class & Speed Card

LADY FLORA comes from a family connections know very well, with her half-brothers Elm Park and Brorocco the main examples, and she arrives here following a decent beginning to her career when placed in a Newmarket novice last October. Entitled to improve from that experience, Andrew Balding's filly is taken to come out on top. Nancy Rose defied greenness to finish second at Newbury in July and she commands plenty of respect, while others to note include Lakota Spirit and Sunfall.

NANCY ROSE shaped well when a debut second at Newbury and can go one better on her seasonal return at the chief expense of William Haggas' debut fourth Sunfall. Lady Flora is another to consider with better days ahead of her too.

This can go to the nicely bred LADY FLORA, whose debut third at Newmarket last November has worked out well.
Class & Speed Card

CIARA PEARL clearly needed some time to develop with her debut coming in the July of her three-year-old career. However, she showed plenty of promise in three starts in maiden/novice company, winning at Lingfield in October, and returned to the same venue to make a successful handicap debut last Monday. The 5lb penalty and drop back to a mile are unlikely to stop her from progressing. Wadacre Grace has been running consistently well of late and is expected to be in the mix along with Moonlight Express.

CIARA PEARL picked up where she left off when making a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Lingfield 7 days ago and, with the potential of more still to offer, a penalty might not be enough to prevent her scoring again. Moonlight Express remains capable of better now handicapping and is next on the list, ahead of Wadacre Grace.

The tough and consistent WADACRE GRACE (nap) may know a bit too much for her rivals at a track she seems to like (2-4).
Class & Speed Card

SOAR ABOVE filled the runner-up berth over track and trip in January before finding a class 2 event too hot next time, but he will appreciate the drop in grade. John Butler's nine-year-old looks well placed to record his fourth C&D victory, with his main threat possibly Aurora Dawn. The daughter of Awtaad makes her return to action off a 5lb higher rating than her triumph at Newbury last June and she has to be considered, while Hat Toss warrants a market check too.

A trappy contest with marginal preference for AURORA DAWN, who doubled her career tally with a comfortable success at Newbury when last seen 9 months ago and Ed Walker's filly looks just the type to make into an even better 4-y-o. Stable-switcher Hat Toss can chase her home, with Oliver Show next best provided he can leave a lacklustre effort well behind.

The unexposed OLIVER SHOW is given a chance to show that his latest Newcastle effort was a blip. He had looked progressive before that.
Class & Speed Card

Old Chums remains in cracking form after hitting the crossbar over 6f at Chelmsford last time and he is likely to be competitive off the same mark, but WONDER SMILE makes more appeal. Hugo Palmer's three-year-old produced two solid efforts in novice company at Chelmsford, finishing second and third, last year and he makes his handicap bow off a workable mark of 70 with Tom Marquand booked. A first-time hood could eke out more from Lieutenant Rascal and he completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but LIEUTENANT RASCAL features on a good mark so is taken to get off the mark now stepped up in trip on his polytrack debut. Old Chums is next on the list on the back of his recent Chelmsford City second with handicap debutant Heathcliff also in the mix.

Preference is for HELLO COTAI who caught the eye when fourth of seven on his stable debut at Lingfield ten days ago.
Class & Speed Card

Marginal preference is for IMPERIAL GUARD. Andrew Balding's three-year-old has improved with each of his three runs to date, with his latest effort resulting in a smooth victory over track and trip. He relished the drop in trip that day and he could be one to watch over sprint distances going forward. Jubilee Walk has undergone wind surgery since making all to shed his maiden tag at Salisbury and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market, while Tsunami Spirit rates best of the rest.

IMPERIAL GUARD looked potentially useful in getting off the mark with something to spare on return from 6 months off over C&D last month and open to further improvement now handicapping, he gets the nod to come out on top at the expense of Tsunami Spirit, who looked potentially a decent sprint handicapper as a 2-y-o and can have a line put through his final outing.

This can go to IMPERIAL GUARD who made a successful return in a C&D novice last month and remains open to further improvement.
Class & Speed Card

PROFIT AND LOSS returned from 199 days off the track to produce an encouraging effort on debut for George Baker over C&D last month. The son of Profitable remains on the same rating and could be the one to beat. Autumn Angel, who wasn't beaten far into third over 7f at Wolverhampton last time, could get into contention despite dropping in distance. Heerathetrack tackles this trip for only the second time and could also get involved.

A tight-knit handicap in which in-form AUTUMN ANGEL is taken to resume winning ways off an easing mark. Course winner Heeratthetrack heads the list of dangers with Nubough and Revolucion also weighted to have a say in a very open contest.

The vote goes to PROFIT AND LOSS who ran well to finish third on stable debut C&D last month. He may well have come on for it.

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.
