Johnny Murtagh has started the season in fine form and TASHIR can give him another winner. The Kingman colt shaped really well on his sole start last term when chasing home Monumental at Gowran in September. That form looks strong, with the winner finishing runner-up in Group 2 company subsequently. Omni Man has the benefit of an outing this term, when losing out in a tight finish at Navan 11 days ago, and he is entitled to play a big role again. Jagged Edge also has placed form this year, having been third at Dundalk, and is another who has to be on the shortlist.

TASHIR'S debut effort behind Monumental has worked out very well and he should go close if handling the likely softer ground here.

JOKERS 'N' CLOWNS showed plenty of promise when second on her debut for these connections at Newton Abbot last week and that form gives the six-year-old a big chance here. Soleil D'arizona disappointed at Wetherby when last seen in November, but Dan Skelton's mare should not be underestimated having finished runner-up on her hurdling bow. The rest all have questions to answer, but Forcetoreckonwith is the pick of them.

Although she bled last time, SOLEIL D'ARIZONA shaped well enough the time before to suggest a race like this would be within her range.

LADY BABS failed to complete the four-timer but was far from disgraced when third in a stronger event at Musselburgh last month. The 11-year-old takes a drop in trip and may only need to produce a similar effort in order to continue her brilliant form. The Navigator was well beaten into fifth over an extended 2m3f here last time, but could get closer off a 1lb lower rating. Quaresome is the pick of the remainder.

This looks a very good opportunity for the thriving C&D scorer LADY BABS to resume winning ways on the back of a good Musselburgh third.

WILTSHIRE LAD was one of the last winners to be trained by Sir Michael Stoute when he landed a nursery at Southwell in October. That was an encouraging performance from the son of Wootton Bassett, who appeals strongly returning off 5lb higher with his new yard in excellent form. The runner-up from that Southwell race also filled the same position behind Invited when he scored at Kempton last month. George Boughey's gelding is highly respected back on turf off 6lb higher. Zowal and Hot Dancer complete the shortlist.

Andrew Balding is in flying form and his new recruit WILTSHIRE LAD gets the vote ahead of Hot Dancer and Invited.

JAXONNE bounced back to form with a promising second over slightly shorter at Wincanton and this looks like an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread, with Ben Jones a positive booking. Runner-up on his handicap debut at Chepstow, Bells Of Ufford is expected to be thereabouts, as is Klapton Boy, who was placed behind a classy novice at Wetherby in February.

Dan Skelton's STROLLING ALONG has not yet shown a great deal over hurdles, but could have some improvement to come in handicaps.

WALK ON HIGH has the strongest form and will likely start a warm order to open his account. That was also the case when he found one too good at Fontwell last time, although Harry Fry's charge still finished well clear of the rest and can make amends now. Loki's Mischief has bits of form, notably a narrow defeat at Taunton, that give him a shout, while the unexposed Southfield Finale is one to note.

This looks a golden opportunity for WALK ON HIGH to finally shed his maiden status as a hurdler.

A couple in this with Classic entries and CURRAWOOD may prove the pick. The Paddy Twomey-trained colt made a winning return on the all-weather at Dundalk last month having bumped into some smart types as a juvenile, including Derby favourite The Lion In Winter. Rowdy Yeats also has a win under his belt this year, scoring with a bit in hand at Naas, and he could be the danger. Irish 1,000 Guineas entry Va Va Vroom ran with credit in a couple of stakes races last term and was a bit unlucky on her final outing at Dundalk. She's another who has to be considered.

The most solid one is ROWDY YEATS (nap). The form of his maiden runs last season is strong, he'll love the ground and he should stay 1m

GIVEMEFIVE had plenty in hand when scoring at Newcastle a month ago and a 4lb rise for that success may underestimate Harry Derham's five-year-old. That said, Bluegrass has won three of his last five starts and the progressive gelding should not be discounted. Luttrell Lad finished in mid-division at Aintree, but his previous Taunton win suggests that he can go well in a race of this nature.

Givemefive is respected but GOT GREY has had excuses for several below-par efforts and could be ready to strike again.

The 125-rated KAINSBOURG has shown ability on rain-softened ground. The Doctor Dino gelding won twice in his native France on very testing ground and four outings over hurdles in Ireland have yielded a couple of runner-up berths at Limerick and Punchestown, and two fourth-placed runs. Krak hasn't run badly in third in a trio of decent maiden hurdles which gives him a chance, while Kir is a potential improver up in trip. Letos has plenty of solid form in France and began life in Ireland with a fourth place over fences at Wexford. It is interesting that he reverts to hurdles, so a market check is advised.

A maiden which may not too much winning and a good opportunity for KAINSBOURG (nap), whose previous runs have been in stronger maidens

Empty Nest justified favouritism at Newcastle on his most recent start and should mount a bold bid to complete a double, despite having a 3lb higher mark to contend with. However, TOP OF THE BAY gets the vote. Sam England's eight-year-old was denied by half a length into second at Newcastle earlier in the month and can defy his 1lb rise for that display. Yes And Yes completes the shortlist.

This could go to EMPTY NEST who is on the up and taken to defy a 3lb rise for his recent Newcastle win with that form working out well.

GWEEDORE bounced back to form when second over C&D last weekend and the veteran merits plenty of respect off the same mark here. That said, Alzahir arrives on the back of two victories in recent weeks and could give the selection plenty to think about. Rockymountainway is another with strong form claims and edges out Benacre to be best of the rest.

A warm contest can go to course specialist GWEEDORE who showed he still has fire in his belly when second here last weekend.

Runner-up on both starts over fences at Leicester, OVERABOTTLEOFRED sets the standard on that form and as long as she handles better ground, she may be able to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking. Stepping up in trip looks like a good move for Oneforthefairgreen, while Lucky Rose must be of interest on her debut in this sphere.

Tom Gretton's OVERABOTTLEOFRED ran well in defeat in her first two chases and has strong claims here if she handles the quicker ground.

MILITARY TYCOON left his previous form over hurdles behind when opening his account at Fontwell. He needs to prove that was no fluke, but the runner-up has subsequently boosted the form so it could pay to stick with Neil Mulholland's charge. Mach Ten may well have finished closer than fourth at Wincanton if not for being hampered at the last and he has to be of interest. Manala makes her handicap debut and is a likely improver.

Despite a 7lb higher mark MILITARY TYCOON (nap) can follow up last month's Fontwell success, the form of which has since been boosted.

GENUINE JIM ran a big race on his return at Leopardstown late last month and may be able to go one better. The Galileo Gold entire stayed on well when getting within a head of Brains and looks capable of another big run, despite a 2lb rise. Royal Pippen also ran well when third at Gowran on his comeback run and, off the same mark, he could be a big player. Notforalongtime comes here in fine form from Dundalk and is another who has to be respected.

A chance is taken on the two-time heavy ground winner MANHATTAN DANDY. He's 3lb below his last success and he has run well here before.

BURROWS HALL arrives here on the back of a hat-trick in recent months and the progressive eight-year-old tops the shortlist, despite a 5lb rise for the latest of those victories. The consistent Thank You Ma'am has to be noted returning to handicap company after his Doncaster win last month, while Land Genie edges out High Game Royal and Bold Recruit to be best of the rest.

This looks competitive, including with regard to who will make the running, but TINY TETLEY is narrowly preferred to Burrows Hall.

Plenty of rain in the forecast is music to the ears of RYEHILL. Ross O'Sullivan's charge arrives on the back of a 10th place finish on good to soft ground at Cheltenham. It is hard to forget his penultimate outing in Naas, though, where the mud was flying as he put the field to the sword by 12 lengths. Run Wild Fred could build upon a runner-up spot at Bandon point-to-point last month. That was just his second run back after an absence and he gets first-time cheekpieces. Hollow Games showed more in second behind a prolific winner at Portrush, while deep ground doesn't look ideal for Big Interest.

Down the field at Cheltenham, RYEHILL may be able to resume the progress shown in winning decisively at Naas in February

BEL AMIGO made every yard of the running to score in easy style over 2m1f here last month and sets the standard with a rating of 115. The six-year-old should have no problems with this extra distance and can go in again. He's A Diamond sprung a 20/1 surprise to get off the mark in smart fashion at Market Rasen last time and is the main danger. Any market confidence behind Berry Edge would be interesting.

Even under a double penalty, BEL AMIGO looks the one to beat, with two course wins to his name and Dominic Hislop's 10lb claim to help.

There isn't much to choose between AMERICAN AFFAIR and Jer Batt on bare form and while the latter surely looks capable of paying his way at this level, the former has a better record when fresh and narrowly shades the vote. A winner over C&D on his seasonal debut 12 months ago, Jim Goldie's five-year-old did nothing but progress in 2024 and resumes with the potential to be a stable star in similar handicaps for his highly capable yard. Cover Up, Jm Jungle and Tatterstall are also notable options.

Jer Batt is still capable of better but COVER UP (nap) has been running well in Dubai and this could set up perfectly for him.

This looks to be a relatively straightforward task for GIVE IT TO ME OJ, who scored at Newbury before finishing a highly creditable fourth in Grade 1 company at Aintree. The form of the stable is another plus and it may be Alvesta who gets closest to him, having run respectably of late on the level. Bradshaw pulled up behind the selection at Newbury and did little better at Fontwell next time.

It's impossible to oppose GIVE IT TO ME OJ, who drops steeply in grade after last month's commendable Grade 1 fourth at Aintree.

TIME TO BITE is enjoying a purple patch, having landed a double with last month's victory at Taunton. He has been raised a further 3lb, but the hat-trick looks a distinct possibility in his current frame of mind. Chris Honour's inmate is preferred to Tribesmans Glory, who posted one of his better efforts when placed at Chepstow. Kadex was in the process of running a big race when falling a couple of fences from home at Plumpton.

It may be worth taking a chance with BEGIN THE LUCK who has winning form over C&D and who has dropped to a favourable mark.

WATERFORD FLOW comes here fit from the all-weather and may be able to get his head in front. The Ghaiyyath colt was edged out by Tiberius Thunder on his most recent outing at Dundalk and that form looks good now with the winner going on to finish third in the Group 3 Ballysax Stakes. Dermot Weld-trained newcomers are always worth noting around here and money for Kasgani, a Sea The Stars colt out of Group 3 winner Kastasa, would be noteworthy. Kingstonian was no match for the impressive Eastwatch at Gowran, but could be place material again.

RED KING has the highest published rating in the field and Billy Lee sticks with him, so he can take this.

All out to win at Exeter but only 2lb higher and historically well handicapped.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -300%) Eldorado Allen	14 14/1(-300%)	(1) Eldorado Allen 14/1, Possible to make excuses for latest two of three below-par runs (bad mistake last time and tough task time before); strong claims on December third at Cheltenham off 7lb lower now. The season started well but his form has cooled and now has to stage a revival.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -43%) Spyglass Hill	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Spyglass Hill 20/1, On a good mark on old form while he was a hunter chase winner here (2m6f) last winter; seemingly back to form with latest second in four-runner Exeter race; respected. Perhaps unfortunate not to beat The Widdow Maker at Exeter as he made a bad mistake.

Although 13lb higher than when landing the corresponding event in 2024, NUMITOR looked better than ever when pulling clear to score at Ascot last month. Heather Main's charge has now won three of his last four starts and, given his liking for the forecast conditions, further success could await. The Flier Begley (third) is only 3lb better off with Dubai Days, who beat him by the best part of 10 lengths over C&D in February and there aren't any obvious reasons that form should be reversed. Eldorado Allen can fare best of the remainder.

The suggestion is GLYNN who looks well in with Numitor and he's had a break since predictably struggling in a Grade 2 last time.

ZENTA bounced back to winning ways with a lovely performance over a similar trip in a mares' beginners' chase at this racetrack in February. Attritional ground holds no fears for her and it is worth noting that she was a Grade 1 winner over flights, so there could be more to come from her in this sphere now that she has got her head in front. La Malmason didn't feature in the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival, but has claims on her previous efforts including when third in a Listed mares' chase at Exeter. Majestic Force is a lightly-raced seven-year-old who knows how to win and appreciated a staying test at Wexford on St Patrick's Day.

On these terms. BALLYBAWN BELTER has fair prospects of reversing form with La Malmason, who relegated her to third here in December

HELLO JUDGE seems to raise his game at this venue and he could be tough to deal with as he bids for a fifth course success. The Ann Hamilton-trained gelding showed battling qualities in registering his latest C&D success and a 5lb higher rating might not be enough to prevent him from adding to his tally. Geryville also likes it here and is feared most, while Special Rate appeals most of the remainder.

This can go to BLEU D'ENFER who twice ran well here before struggling in a deep Listed handicap at Navan.

Danny Tudhope has been aboard the last two winners of this contest, including Wise Eagle, who he gets back aboard today. Adam Nicol's charge merits the utmost respect despite being 5lb higher this time around, but the vote goes to ALIGN THE STARS. A progressive handicapper last season before coming up short in a couple of Group contests, he returned with a creditable third in the Further Flight at Nottingham recently and is sure to mount another stern challenge with that outing under his belt. Wild Waves was by no means discredited in the St Leger when last seen and he looks a real player back in a handicap, especially with his yard in flying form.

Wild Waves was last seen when running with credit in the St Leger but ALIGN THE STARS made a bright reappearance ten days ago.

TARA ITI appreciated the application of a first-time visor when a three-length victor at Plumpton earlier in the month and competes off a 6lb higher rating. If the seven-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove hard to beat. Aotano took a big step forward to score on his second handicap start at Doncaster and has to be respected off 8lb higher. Mill Street is another to note.

After catching the eye in a Market Rasen novice last month, useful Flat racer INDEMNITY (nap) can make a winning handicap hurdle debut.

JOHN BETJEMAN was well held in fourth at Plumpton, but he has been dropped another 3lb and now sports a first-time visor. The nine-year-old lurks on an appealing mark and could finally return to winning ways. Clear Storm made the frame on her first handicap start in this sphere at Taunton and is an interesting contender on her debut for the Neil Mulholland stable. Of the remainder, Thankyouandplease makes the most appeal.

Clear Storm should be a factor preference is for OPTICALITY, who ran well when back over hurdles last month.

KIBRIS may prove the pick here. The Lope De Vega colt won a Curragh maiden on debut last November, but failed to make much impression in the Ballysax Stakes on his return after missing the kick. This is easier and any rain that falls should help. Stablemate Emit won a maiden on his third outing last year before also finding Group 3 company tougher at Leopardstown. He could be the danger. Carolina Jetstream comes here in fine form from Dundalk and although her official mark of 91 suggests she has a bit to find, it would be no surprise if she ran a big race.

There isn't much to separate the Joseph O'Brien-trained colts KIBRIS and Emit but slight preference is for the former.

DUKE OF DECEPTION arrives following a brace of runner-up efforts and although 2lb higher, the eight-year-old can go one place better now afforded an ease in grade. Safe Destination remains in excellent form and should be thereabouts, even though he perhaps requires some assistance from the handicapper now. Impatient was well in contention when coming to grief two from home at Southwell and will be a threat if none the worse for that tumble.

While all have possibilities, SAFE DESTINATION with his excellent record this season has to top the list from Duke Of Deception.

SECRECIES OF STONE is up in class but, the way he travelled to win in Leopardstown, he could be up to the challenge. He kept wide and strode in by eight and a-half lengths, so a 7lb rise doesn't look excessive. The hike is offset by Georgie Benson's claim and, if he can get into a similar rhythm, she should get a good spin. Ik's Man powered home to win by a big margin over further at Clonmel, so looks threatening. Aine O'Connor is a notable booking for Potters Party, while in-form British-raider The Boola Boss would prefer better ground. Read To Return and Maxine O'Sullivan aren't out of it.

In good form in January, DON'T TALK may have found the ground too lively at Limerick recently and may now regain the winning thread

KILMORE ROCK won readily over just shy of 3m at Newcastle 19 days ago and assuming the cheekpieces have the same impact second time around, the low-mielage six-year-old has a good chance of following up. Cruden had a wind problem addressed after failing to justify odds-on favouritism at Newcastle last month and is another to monitor closely in the betting. The others have been mainly struggling to find their form but perhaps Forged Well could improve and figure with a first-time visor added.

Cruden takes a significant step up in distance and will be dangerous if seeing things out, but a safer option is KILMORE ROCK.

Cases can be made for all of these so only a tentative vote can go to AMALFINA. Outpaced over the mile at Doncaster on her debut in October, the daughter of Nathaniel will relish a step up in trip and she appeals as the type to progress over middle distances this term. Canavan might be a longer term prospect, but he showed clear promise last season and is another likely to benefit from a considerable rise in distance, while Ivatt appeals most of the remainder.

Caspi Star could be dangerous if getting an easy lead, but the one with the most potential is probably Charlie Fellowes' IVATT.

Law Of Supply ran too badly to be true when beaten out of sight in a warmer event at Newbury, but could put that effort behind him. However, the vote goes to MUSKOKA, who finished a fair third at the same venue and has since undergone a wind operation. He should have more to offer on only his fifth chase start. Pearly Island isn't ruled out with any confidence.

Law Of Supply will be dangerous if back on song, but preference is for MUSKOKA who has also taken well to chasing this season.

SCARFACE finished three lengths clear of the third when filling the runner-up spot in a warmer event at Newbury and is just 1lb higher. The eight-year-old has lots in his favour to go one better, with his main threat possibly Happy And Fine, who could only manage third at Sandown in February but may get closer off a 1lb lower rating. Royal Jewel is in good form and the booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye.

Plenty in here have the form to feature but some are on recovery missions. Not so SCARFACE who ran so well at Newbury.

One-time Classic hope LOPE DE LILAS is interesting on her handicap debut. The Willie Mullins-trained filly was impressive when winning her maiden at Leopardstown last May, but weakened at the business end when pitched into the Irish Oaks subsequently. She also made little impression in Listed company on her final start of 2024, but looks on a fair mark of 92. Money Dancer ran well to chase home Hurricane Ivor on her return to the Flat at Naas and could be a danger. The admirable San Andreas is on a nice turf mark and is another to note.

Very tricky but a chance is taken on MONEY DANCER. She was twice placed in juvenile hurdles and ran a fine race on Flat return over 7f

Recent Newbury winner Mahler Moon should be a key player off just 4lb higher and were it not for his tendency to jump right, he would be a solid option. However, it may be worth honing in on BORN IN THE WEST, who has bags of scope as a stayer and could be tough to reel in if allowed to dominate on the front end. The hat-trick seeking Elusiveness is another shortlisted contender, despite a 7lb rise for her latest success.

A tight race. MAHLER MOON still looks well treated off only a 4lb higher mark than when winning at Newbury.

A very competitive contest. Willie Mullins is well represented and his FISHERY LANE could be the answer. The Grade 1 Albert Bartlett proved too hot for him at Cheltenham, however, his best form has been on rain-softened ground and his decisive maiden hurdle success at this track in January merits plenty of respect. Blaze The Way has been mixing in good company and his second at Navan and fourth in Uttoxeter read well. Custom Taylor arrives in rude health from a cruise around Limerick and he very rarely runs a below-par race, so is one for the shortlist. Autoportrait is a very consistent horse for Mouse Morris, while Stuart Crawford's Ayiko is another to consider.

A tentative selection is FAIRYLAND OPERA who could be ahead of the handicapper at this trip

HOMME D'UN SOIR has won three of his six starts over fences, having scored at Ludlow last time with plenty left in the tank. He looks to have more to offer over the larger obstacles, so a 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor Billy Aprahamian's charge. Newcastle winner Coup De Coeur found one too good back at the same venue, though the third home has subsequently boosted that form, and the seven-year-old can feature again. Clean Getaway is preferred of the remainder.

Coup De Coeur is building up a solid CV and commands respect, but the one to beat is the upwardly mobile HOMME D'UN SOIR (nap).

EPIDAVROS put in a promising display when fifth on her seasonal debut at Southwell a couple of weeks ago and, with the benefit of that outing, Katie Scott's filly could be hard to stop here. Reach struggled on her final couple of starts last year but should not be underestimated on her return to action, while similar comments apply to Alessia Fernanda.

Reach (second choice) and Zapphire should go well if fully primed but the percentage call is EPIDAVROS.

THE WISE TRAVELLER saves his best for this track and recorded his third victory here when making all over C&D last week. He'll take some pegging back, despite a 4lb rise, if allowed his own way in front again. The Dark Edge resumed winning ways at Warwick and can make his presence felt, while Bobalot has returned to a handy mark and showed a bit more when third at Fontwell last time.

The pick is BOBALOT who has been running fairly well for his new stable this year and may benefit from today's move back up in trip.

ELPOLOGREG has been knocking on the door of late and he is fancied to build upon a solid runner-up effort at Fontwell last month. The six-year-old has to compete from out of the handicap but is still lower than his last winning mark and he may have too much for Puddlesinthepark, who has run with credit since scoring at Hereford in February. Felton Bellevue and Jikala are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

This can go to FELTON BELLEVUE for whom it's possible to make excuses for his two defeats since winning nicely at Lingfield.

MOCKING didn't have a great passage on his handicap debut at Leopardstown late last month and looks capable of scoring off this mark. The Tamayuz gelding was short of room early in the straight and got slightly hampered inside the final furlong before finishing fourth to Serious Contender. There should be more to come. Junkyard Dog was well backed when scoring on his return at Navan 11 days ago and has to be respected. An 8lb hike makes life a bit tougher, though. Ballydoyle filly Happiest had a couple of nice runs in maidens last year and is another to note on her handicap debut.

Narrow preference is for WHAT'S YOUR GAME. He ran ok on soft on debut, this step up in trip should suit and Colin Keane is on board.

Haydock has been a happy hunting ground for Sue Smith over the years and this could be another good piece of placement by her yard as THE PADDY PIE bids to supplement his resurgent recent form. The veteran has won four of his last five starts and, with conditions ideal, this could be well within his reach from a still workable rating. Captain Ivan and Special Dragon are the main contenders to fill the runner-up slot.

Captain Ivan has a good form chance but THE PADDY PIE (nap) can extend his winning run. Kings Justice is second choice.

A host of winners have come out of the maiden hurdle that KALIX DELABARRIERE won at Naas in February and he looks like a horse that could begin to move through the grades for Willie Mullins. There wouldn't be many deeper races to make your handicap debut in, but he is a horse with considerable upside. He holds two Grade 1 entries for Punchestown. Nicky Henderson's Joyeuse was very impressive on her penultimate start in a premier handicap at Newbury. She faced a tough task in sixth behind Lossiemouth at Cheltenham, but has to be given plenty of respect here. Cheltenham hero Jazzy Matty could be very dangerous off a mark of 125, while Le Grand Peinture couldn't have won any more easily in Navan.

Very competitive as expected, a chance taken on the bottom-weight SERIENMOND following up a taking Leopardstown win

SEE A STRIDE has eased in the weights since joining Susan Corbett's yard and looks set to take advantage. She just failed to catch the winner in a maiden hurdle over course and distance last time, despite the unfavourable terms, and returns to handicapping with strong claims on that form. George Darling made a winning handicap debut at Market Rasen last month. He looks likely to pose a bigger threat than Sedgefield winner Rioja Alta, who is upped in class.

The vote goes to RIOJA ALTA who has taken his form up a notch in blinkers and can resume winning ways after a good Newcastle second.

ZARZYNI was arguably an unlucky loser when a close third over C&D last Sunday as he met with plenty of trouble in running. With a clear passage here, the veteran could provide his supporters with some valuable compensation. However, Knicks also did not get the clearest of runs when narrowly ahead in second that day and is another to consider. Only Spoofing took the spoils on that occasion but a 4lb penalty could leave him vulnerable.

Only Spoofing is solid despite his penalty but Balon d'Or and OUR ABSENT FRIENDS are interesting rivals.

Billy McGarry goes in search of a hat-trick having landed a brace of successes at Southwell recently and he is respected, although Andrea Pinna will need to be alert breaking out of stall 11. A chance, though, is taken on REBEL COVE. Simon Hodgson's four-year-old hinted at ability across her three runs in novice company but stepping up to a mile should suit, and an opening mark of 47 may well underestimate the daughter of Ribchester. Wyvern and Dappled Light are others to consider.

Irish challenger GATSBY CAP is a fascinating contender given that he has dropped to a handy mark and the stable is 2-2 here this month.

WONDERING WHY is related to several winners on the Flat, including a Listed scorer in Germany. He ran well for a long way in a valuable bumper at Newbury on debut and this is a lot less competitive. Amber Waves found only one too good over C&D on her introduction and she can build on that encouraging effort, while the newcomer Johnny Hooves should be noted representing the Skelton yard.

After a very respectable fifth in a valuable Newbury event last month, WONDERING WHY probably sets a fairly good form standard.

COCONUT TWIST is in the form of his life at present and a 7lb rise for last week's success over C&D may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick. A determined winner over shorter at Market Rasen and now making his handicap debut now off a handy mark of 112, Moonset can follow the selection home, ahead of Warwick scorer Barricane.

Recent C&D winner COCONUT TWIST has slower ground this time but he's won twice on soft previously and looks the one to beat.

TATUM ran well on her return at Gowran Park early in the month and may be able to go one better. The Postponed filly couldn't match Thatwilldoso in the closing stages and stepping up in trip might help her. Arthur Rose stayed on from the rear to finish fifth at the Curragh last month and it's interesting that connections try a mile and a half again with the speedily-bred filly. Gardone was just edged out in a tight finish at Dundalk recently and he's another who has to come into the mix.

Though still a maiden, TATUM came back to form when second at Gowran last time and can get off the mark raised in trip.

ZANOOSH has an each way chance at a price. Colm Murphy's charge was beaten a fair way into fourth in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse in January, but that form has been very well franked. Hello Jean was beaten less than a length into third on debut at Leopardstown last month and there should be plenty more to come from her considering she did her best work in the latter stages. She is sure to be popular. Derryville's second place at Punchestown in December received a massive boost when the winner landed the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. Lau And Shaz has been mixing hurdling and bumpers, and has shown enough to play a part.

A speculative vote goes to SOLDIERSTOWN, a debut point winner whose dam has a solid record. Her rider's 7lb claim is an asset

RED SAND won a decent novice at Goodwood in May and although not seen since, Ed Walker's colt could be useful and, being related to a couple of winners on the all-weather, it would come as no surprise were he good enough to defy a penalty. Warrior Mode provided Sir Mark Prescott with a winning debutant over C&D recently so he should not be underestimated, while Arundel, who shaped with promise over a mile at Southwell recently, is also noted.

An entry in the 2,000 Guineas suggests that JOLLY ROGER is well regarded by the Crisford stable and he can defy a penalty on his return.

A confident vote goes to GINCIDENT, who was able to justify strong market support to win on his stable debut at Leicester earlier this month. He's now 3lb higher back on the all-weather but that should be no barrier to further success, and a low draw ought to be favourable too. Drawn next door to the selection, Novak should be a threat from an unchanged mark, having struck the woodwork at Southwell last time out. How's The Guvnor looked in need of the outing here last month, but it would come as no surprise were he to show more today.

An uncompetitive race in which GINCIDENT looks to have been found a good oportunity to make it 2-2 for James Owen.

A 5lb rise for winning over C&D recently is a concern for Romantic Spirit but she should not be discounted. However, preference is for I'LL GIVE IT A GO, who has shown plenty of promise in novice/maiden company and an opening mark of 67 should be workable on her handicap bow. Magic Runner was narrowly denied over this track and trip when last seen in December and is another with strong form claims.

There may still be better to come from ROMANTIC SPIRIT following her successful reappearance over C&D last month.

SLOWDOWNBARNEY had plenty in hand when winning over C&D 12 days ago and the Irish raider is very hard to oppose, despite a 7lb rise. Moon Over The Sea also scored over this track and trip on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Grand Duchess Olga and Black Smoke should not be discounted.

Despite a 7lb higher mark it's hard to oppose SLOWDOWNBARNEY (nap), who scored by nearly 5l over C&D this month.

A track-and-trip winner last month, KENSINGTON AGENT is handily drawn to launch a bold bid and could be tough to deal with given that a 2lb higher rating is unlikely to blunt his challenge by much. Southbank has posted all his best form over 6f and reverts to this trip with a big chance of being a key player, while Radiant Angel and Saffredi are others capable of getting competitive.

The return to 6f and the prospect of a well-run race could see SOUTHBANK resume winning ways. Radiant Angel is next best.

ROYAL ACCORD was a popular and ultimately correct choice in the betting market when he cosily landed a similarly modest handicap at Lingfield last week. A 5lb higher mark looks very fair and it would be no surprise to see him follow up in this company. Wee Mary went down fighting when second to heavily-backed winner on her handicap debut at Southwell 15 days ago. She should have more to offer on just her second start for Rebecca Menzies. Trust Sergei and Baby Rover complete the shortlist.

Royal Accord is solid after breaking his duck nine days ago but AUNTIE JO can bounce back from her low-key Southwell effort.

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.
