Windtothelightning is likely to do well based on the summary, as she has completed a hat-trick in novice races and still looks ahead of her mark. Lone Star is also expected to have another bold showing as she is at the very top of her game and completed a four-timer in a competitive affair at Musselburgh. Dollar Bae, Presenting A Queen, and Princess T are also mentioned as having made a positive start over hurdles and could be contenders.

In a wide-open contest, only a tentative vote can go to LONE STAR. A winner on five of her last six starts, Philip Kirby's mare has risen through the handicap ranks this season. She was raised 8lb for last month's facile Musselburgh success, but that might not be enough to stop her. Terresita (third) meets her Chepstow conqueror Dollar Bae (winner) again and the latter, who remains unexposed under Rules, is fancied to confirm that form. An improver in recent starts, Progressive should not be underestimated either.

This is fiercely competitive but WINDTOTHELIGHTNING still appears to have a lot of improvement left in her and she's fancied to complete a hat-trick. Dollar Bae and Lone Star, another pair of improving types, could pose a serious threat, while there are a whole host of others for whom a case can be made.

The pick is SASHENKA, who got the better of a subsequent winner at Newbury last month and could still be well treated after a 4lb rise.

YELLOW BEAR has shown promise in his recent showing at Southwell and could have definite claims if he continues to improve. HORTZADAR is also one to note, starting the new campaign down in grade off a career-low mark and boasting a good track record. GLOBAL SPIRIT could also make a strong contender, having shown promise with a creditable third place finish at Newcastle and step up in trip should suit. Meanwhile, DOGGED and UGO GREGORY are struggling for form and may not be the top contenders in this field.

The value may lie with YELLOW BEAR, who ran a promising race on his return at Southwell and should be suited by the extra furlong. The fact he has won fresh before on turf is another plus and Declan Carroll's charge is preferred to the likes of course winner Cosmos Raj and Tothenines, who will appreciate the drop in class. Placed on two of his three starts here, Global Spirit cannot be ruled out either.

HORTZADAR slipped down the weights towards the end of last season and returns to action over a C&D that suits him well, so he might be worth chancing in an open-looking race. Sandret is a danger for an in-form yard and Global Spirit seems likely to give another good account.

The class-dropping HORTZADAR won off 11lb higher here last spring so is dangerously well treated on his reappearance.
Class & Speed Card

CHANGING COLOURS and KERDOS look like the most promising horses based on their past performances and potential for improvement. Ferrous, Pinafore, and Yacowlef also merit consideration.

Shouldvebeenaring kept on for second over 6f at Newcastle on his latest outing earlier this month, but he makes his handicap debut off top-weight here and could struggle with that in mind. Therefore, it may pay to side with ONCE MORE FOR LUCK, who was last seen finishing seven and three-quarter lengths behind Blackbeard in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes over C&D last September. Bluelight Bay contested much hotter races last summer and is another to bear in mind on his return, along with Changing Colours.

KERDOS looks a useful sprinter in the making and should be spot on after last month's fine Lingfield reappearance. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive opener. Pinafore and Changing Colours head the list of dangers.

Godolphin's CHANGING COLOURS (nap) is open to plenty of improvement in this 3yo campaign and he is the pick ahead of Grace Angel.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone, as it only provides information about each horse's recent performance and past successes. However, Tweed Skirt and La Renommee seem to be in good form, while Walk In Clover is at a disadvantage being 14 lb out of the weights.

Tweed Skirt has been faced with a couple of tough assignments recently but she could fare better back in a handicap, while Miah Grace, who struck over hurdles at Newcastle last month, is another to note. Preference, however, is for LA RENOMMEE. She showed plenty of determination to score at Ludlow 17 days ago, her second win in as many starts. Dr Richard Newland's mare remains open to improvement over fences and must be taken seriously.

An interesting final of the series and if there's a runner with the potential to be better than their mark it's LA DOMANIALE, who should come on plenty for last month's return at Warwick. Fairfield Ferrata and Tweed Skirt are feared most.

The suggestion is LA DOMANIALE, who made an excellent start to her chasing career in the early part of this season.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to determine with certainty which horse will do well. However, some of the horses that show promise are Ziggy's Phoenix Kodiac filly, Desert Master, and Kandy House Invincible Spirit filly. These horses have either shown potential in previous races or are closely related to successful horses in their lineage. Ultimately, the outcome will depend on various factors such as the training, jockey, and race conditions on the day of the race.

ZIGGY'S PHOENIX caught the eye when staying on late to finish a close-up fourth on her debut at Kempton last week, and there is no reason to suggest why she can't improve on turf. A promising fifth in the Brocklesby, Havana Prince looks to be her chief threat, ahead of the newcomer Stage Door, who should be a speedy type being a daughter of Windsor Castle winner Soldier's Call.

One of only two with previous experience, ZIGGY'S PHOENIX showed promise and rates the type to improve from her recent Kempton debut effort 8 days ago and she gets the tentative vote to come out on top. Desert Master, Kandy House and Stage Door are all newcomers to note in the betting.

James Tate sent out a son of Blue Point to make a winning debut at Newmarket on Tuesday and DESERT MASTER might be able to follow suit.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary as there is limited information provided. However, some of the horses with noteworthy backgrounds and close relations to successful runners include Syllabus, Mighty Nebula, and Tribute. Additionally, the fact that the yards won this race in previous years may be a positive sign for their entries. Ultimately, it is important to consider additional factors such as current form, training, and race conditions when making predictions.

A half-brother to Listed-placed filly Sound Angela, New Business makes plenty of appeal on paper and the fact he cost 240,000gns as a yearling must make him of additional interest on his racecourse debut. Nonetheless, KATHAB's dam is a half-sister to dual Group 3 winner Chrysanthemum and the gelded son of Kingman must hold every chance of being in the mix. Others worthy of consideration include Enrico Caruso and Passenger for reputable stables.

The market should provide plenty of clues with no form to go on, but ENRICO CARUSO hails from a yard that has won the last 2 renewals of this maiden, so is an obvious place to start. The Simon & Ed Crisford stable has an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so Penzance and Tribute are other likely types.

John & Thady Gosden have won the last two runnings and the well-bred ENRICO CARUSO is taken to make it three in a row for the stable.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as each horse has varying levels of success and potential. However, some horses that may be worth considering include Ilovethenightlife, who has recently won a Grade 2 race and is attempting a hat-trick, and Zestful, who has already made a good start to her hurdling career and is open to improvement. It is also worth keeping an eye on Ahorsewithnoname, who has posted some good efforts and was second in the Dawn Run at the Cheltenham Festival.

Having finished a good third behind subsequent Mares' Novices' Hurdle winner You Wear It Well in a Grade 2 at Sandown on her penultimate start, DEEPLY SUPERFICIAL made no mistake when readily accounting for five rivals at Limerick last time out. Gordon Elliott's mare has looked well up to winning at this level and is fancied to make her mark. Nicky Henderson landed the corresponding event last year and must hold every chance with Queens Rock, who bolted up at Doncaster on her handicap debut. Stablemate Ahorsewithnoname is capable on her day, while Ilovethenightlife is also considered.

QUEENS ROCK has been kept fresh for this since making a mockery of her opening mark at Doncaster (19.4f) in early February, which can't be a bad thing, especially at this stage of the season, so she looks to have a fair bit going for her. Deeply Superficial and Lutinebella head the dangers.

The call is DEEPLY SUPERFICIAL, whose good efforts behind those smart horses Inthepocket and You Wear It Well take the eye.

It is difficult to make a confident prediction based solely on this summary, but Kingsley Pride and Kardia both have encouraging past performances and are expected to improve. Mishraq is a relatively unknown quantity, but has a strong pedigree and may be worth considering depending on the market. Fox Vision is also considered but may need more time to show improvement after being gelded.

A half-brother to multiple Group 1 winner Poet's Word, KINGSLEY PRIDE is bred to be much better than what he has shown on the track thus far and this looks like as good an opportunity as any to get off the mark. Fox Vision arrives with a similar profile and should be suited by conditions, while Kardia performed well for fifth in a Doncaster maiden last October on debut and can also get competitive.

KINGSLEY PRIDE holds the edge on form so is fancied to go one better than when a very good Kempton nursery second in December having since been gelded. Fox Vision still looks to have better days ahead of him and is feared most ahead of Kardia, who can enhance her form now her stamina is drawn out more.

Fox Vision and Kingsley Pride have shown the odd quirk so it might be worth opposing them with the well-bred KARDIA.

Based on the summary provided, Creative Force seems to be the one to beat with a strong record in top sprints and a perfect record over the course and distance. Garrus and Jumby also have promising records and could be each-way players, while Tiber Flow and Silky Wilkie may struggle in this class. Commanche Falls had a disappointing reappearance, and Saint Lawrence likely faces a big challenge after a long absence.

CREATIVE FORCE makes his return to action following a far from disgraced third in a Grade 1 at Keeneland over an extended 5f last November and he must hold every chance. He was Group 1-placed behind Kinross in the British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot on his penultimate outing and has proven to run well fresh in the past. Jumby landed a Group 2 at Newbury last August and could bounce back from his most recent runs off a break. Ehraz is another to bear in mind.

Provided he is fully tuned-up, CREATIVE FORCE will prove hard to beat for his powerful, in-form connections. The 5-y-o failed to add to his tally in 2022 but performed with plenty of credit in four of the hottest sprints of the season and this should serve as the perfect springboard for a return to Group 1 company soon enough. Garrus, who was only just denied in this race 12 months ago, is second choice ahead of Ehraz and Jumby.

This looks a good opportunity for CREATIVE FORCE on his return to action. Garrus also has a good run in him.
Class & Speed Card

Rose of Arcadia is the most likely to do well based on the summary, as she has recently resumed winning ways and easily beat her competitor Good Luck Charm by 10 lengths in a handicap at Fontwell last month.

ROSE OF ARCADIA has taken a step in the right direction this season, having won on three occasions, and the eight-year-old, who scored in decisive fashion on testing ground at Fontwell on her latest start, will have no issue in tackling a sounder surface, despite an 8lb rise. Good Look Charm chased home the selection in the aforementioned contest and may get closer this time, with Harry Cobden a notable jockey booking. Others to note include Credo and Lady Kk.

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE is becoming well handicapped and is worth another chance having failed to stay a marathon trip at Exeter last time. Rose of Arcadia had plenty in hand when scoring at Fontwell so is a player, while Lady Kk responded well to this headgear when winning with a bit to spare at Taunton.

Joe Tizzard's ROSE OF ARCADIA is a bit too up and down for comfort but she's good on her day and is built to carry weight.
Class & Speed Card

Based on the summary, some horses to consider as potential winners are Fortamour, Bay Breeze, Asadjumeirah, Burj Malinka, Muscika, Showtime Mahomes, and Cooperation. These horses have either shown good past form, have recent good performances, or have potential for improvement. However, as with any horse race, there are many factors that can affect the outcome and any horse has the potential to win on the day.

It can often pay to be drawn high over sprint trips here, and that should aid the chances of last year's winner FORTAMOUR. Ben Haslam's charge is 2lb higher than that victory 12 months ago but remains 3lb below his last winning mark, which also came over C&D. Asadjumeirah has been in good form, without winning, on the all-weather over the winter months and he's considered along with Muscika and Mark's Choice.

Race fitness is likely to be an advantage given the conditions and dual C&D-winner BAY BREEZE ticks plenty of boxes having shaped better than the bare result at Musselburgh on his return. There are plenty of potential dangers, however, including the veteran Muscika and last year's winner Fortamour.

Asadjumeirah is handicapped to win but BAY BREEZE can build on his promising reappearance at a track where he's 2-2.

It is difficult to definitively predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each has their own strengths and potential. However, the Mysterious Night and The Foxes colts seem to have solid records and are expected to improve, while Mostabshir and Ancestral Land are described as having lots more to offer and progressing with each run. Mr Mistoffelees may struggle in a tougher field. Ultimately, it will depend on the specific race and conditions on the day.

Mysterious Night was the choice of William Buick over stable companion Naval Power, before the latter was declared a non-runner, and the son of Dark Angel was a Grade 1 winner at Woodbine in September when tackling a mile for the first time. The dry forecast will aid his cause on his first run since and he warrants serious consideration. Mostabshir comes from a family connections know well, especially his half-sister Nazeef, a two-time Group 1 heroine, but he may need more time to come to himself and the vote goes to the Royal Lodge winner THE FOXES. Considered good enough to run in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, having shaped with promise on debut at Newbury, he was given time to recover before winning a Goodwood maiden and backed that up over C&D in a contest run at a slow pace. The form has worked out well, with the runner-up winning a Group 1 in France and the third landing the Zetland, and conditions are unlikely to faze him.

Charlie Appleby has an excellent record in the Craven and again looks to hold sway with his MYSTERIOUS NIGHT, who won at Woodbine when last seen and could have more to offer over 1m. Royal Lodge victor The Foxes and Mostabshir should ensure this is no one-horse race however.

Charlie Appleby and William Buick have teamed up to win three of the last four runnings and they combine with MYSTERIOUS NIGHT.

It is difficult to make a clear prediction as there are several horses with potential. However, Under Control looks promising after a successful start in France and a good performance in a recent Newbury juvenile. Obsessedwithyou also has a fair mark for her handicap bow and could be a strong contender. Golden Glance has improved with each hurdle start and could have more to offer, while Komedy Kicks has shown promise and is not without each-way hope.

Under Control struggled to make an impact at the Cheltenham Festival when stepping up markedly in grade from her UK debut success at Newbury. This should be more to her liking and along with stable companion Arclight, the pair form a strong team for Nicky Henderson. The vote, though, goes to KOMEDY KICKS. She was an unlucky faller at Doncaster on her latest start when hampered before the second last, but her run prior to that, when runner-up to Boodles hero Jazzy Matty at Fairyhouse, gives her a big chance.

The one with the most obvious potential is Irish-raider MEDIA NARANJA, who delivered a fluent round of jumping when opening her account from the front at Limerick. This is tougher but her opening mark looks fair and she may well be equal to the task. The Nicky Henderson-trained duo Arclight and Under Control rate the main dangers, with the former feared most, for all that she is the apparent second-string judged on jockey bookings. Komedy Kicks and Obsessedwithyou are live each-way candidates.

If bouncing back from a rare blip at Musselburgh, PRETENDING could be on better terms with the handicapper than some in here.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each horse has varying levels of performance and potential. However, Centre Court appears to have recently produced their best effort and won a handicap race, albeit with a penalty. If allowed to dictate the race again, they could be dangerous. Impulsive Reaction also has potential, having won a maiden race and run creditably on their next two outings. However, they will need to be back on track after a disappointing performance in their last outing.

JAMES MCHENRY posted a couple of decent efforts on the turf last season, perhaps most notably when finishing second to the now 101-rated Alpha Capture on his debut at Carlisle. He failed to notch up a victory thereafter, but it would be no surprise were he to excel in handicap company this year. Recent Newcastle scorer Centre Court enters calculations under a 6lb penalty, while Spioradalta should appreciate the forecast conditions.

JAMES MCHENRY finished only fourth at Newcastle on his nursery debut when last seen, though he did race more towards the near side than the first 3, so he's worth another chance with the form of his previous runner-up effort at Southwell working out well. He can see off the challenge of Violeta, while Centre Court could make another bold bid under a penalty.

The vote goes the way of CENTRE COURT who won nicely on AW last week and can make light of a 6lb penalty.
Class & Speed Card

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Edwardian and Jungle Dance seem to have more promising pedigrees and could potentially do well in their races. Expecto may also improve after his debut race. Velvet Skies' pedigree is not mentioned as being particularly noteworthy.

EDWARDIAN catches the eye as a well-bred colt who is a half-brother to Group 3 winner Aspen Grove. The son of No Nay Never is one of two Ballydoyle runners in this opening contest but his pedigree suggests that he may be more of an early type than stablemate Leap Year. A high draw is usually an advantage when the ground is on the easy side at Tipperary so that further increases confidence. Leap Year should not be discounted as jockey bookings don't always signify which is the stable first-string. A rails draw may not be ideal but if he jumps smartly, he could use it to his advantage. Locally trained Jungle Dance is of obvious interest for Willie Browne. Having already sent out an impressive juvenile winner this season, Browne will know just what is required to win this.

LEAP YEAR is bred for a bit further than 1m but should have enough speed to be able to make a winning start at the possible expense of his stablemate Edwardian, who is also by No Nay Never. Expecto could improve for her initial experience, so she's worthy of consideration, too.

With his powerful yard running at a 50% strike-rate with it's juveniles this season, LEAP YEAR is selected.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but Britannica, Time's Eye, Decipher, and Queens Award are all mentioned as appealing newcomers to watch for in the betting. Prepense and Shoolaa are mentioned as potential improvers, while Awtaar may struggle against stronger competition. Willow Tree is not given a clear likelihood of success but may be worth paying attention to based on the yard's recent performance.

Time's Eye (second) and BRITANNICA (fifth) were closely matched over C&D in October, with the front five horses on that occasion covered by just-three quarters of a length. The former had improved from her debut effort at Salisbury, when just headed in the dying strides by a filly who contests the Nell Gwyn on Wednesday, but the latter, who was making her debut, is expected to know more this time and holds every chance of reversing that form. Spring Dawn will likely prove popular on debut for top connections, while any market support for Decipher would make her very much of interest.

PREPENSE produced a very promising debut effort when runner-up behind subsequent Fillies' Mile heroine Commissioning here last summer and, whilst she couldn't build on that at Chester, there's a good chance she can get back on the up following a wind op. Time's Eye, runner-up in a C&D event in the autumn and Britannica (narrowly behind her) can emerge as the chief threats, whilst Spring Dawn is a newcomer to note.

Slight preference among those who have run is for BRITANNICA who made her debut when Time's Eye finished narrowly ahead in October.

Based on the summary provided, the best prediction for a horse that may do well would be Ages of Man. The horse recently had its best performance and is expected to perform well in maiden company. Bridgehead also has a chance due to its past performances in both flat and hurdle races. Other horses in the race have not had impressive results in previous races, making it less likely for them to do well.

BRIDGEHEAD sets a good standard. He is returning from an absence of more than six months, but has finished runner-up in both starts over hurdles and the form looks strong. He was a close second in Punchestown, when last seen, and the winner went on to be placed in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham. The horse that beat him by a head in Ballinrobe came out and won on his next start. This sharp track could suit Ages Of Man if he adopts front-running tactics.He attempted to make all on his last start in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle and had to settle for second place. He has shown enough form to make the breakthrough particularly when third in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last year. Wasthatok has finished behind some useful sorts in bumpers and is interesting on his hurdle debut.

A case of quantity over quality which may develop into a match between BRIDGEHEAD and Ages of Man, the former taken to go one better than on both previous efforts in this sphere provided he's ready to roll after 6 months off. Wasthatok and So They Tell Me can battle out third spot.

Ages Of Man has a possible race-fitness advantage but preference is for the reappearing BRIDGEHEAD

Based on the summary provided, Hawthorn Cottage seems to be the most likely to do well as it has won a recent race and has shown enthusiasm. However, it may prefer a drop of rain. Pink Legend and Royale Margaux also have strong recent performances and should be considered contenders. Fortunes Melody and Doyannie have had mixed form and may struggle in this race. Lost Connections is also unlikely to do well given its lack of success and handicap disadvantage.

PINK LEGEND went well for a long way in the Mares' Chase here last month and the drop in trip could prove ideal as she lowers her sights in handicap company. The daughter of Midnight Legend won on this card two years ago and she can do so once more, with the consistent Doyannie looking best placed to chase her home. Fortunes Melody and Hawthorn Cottage have the form to get involved as well.

Preference is for ROYALE MARGAUX, who looks nicely treated and offered more for her current yard at Ascot last time. Pink Legend is feared most.

It can pay to trust Festival form and, with no classy Irish mares to worry about, PINK LEGEND (nap) can secure a sixth win over fences.
Class & Speed Card

Based on the summary, Painters Palette and Strawman seem to have the most promising recent form and are both returning to the track from their last winning marks, making them strong contenders. Society Red also has potential with a previous C&D win and recent success for his yard. Val Bassett is an unknown quantity with new connections and a long layoff, making him more of a risky bet. The other horses have less compelling claims or question marks surrounding their current form or readiness.

Painters Palette has been kept busy on the all-weather in the early part of this year and secured a double over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton earlier this month, so he should not be dismissed back on turf. However, WHITEFEATHERSFALL has proven to go well fresh in the past and is fancied having finished a good fourth over a mile at this track last August. Poet's Dawn is another to consider.

PAINTERS PALETTE has made a fine start for Rebecca Menzies, scoring twice at Wolverhampton. Unpenalised for last week's victory, he gets the nod to complete the hat-trick returned to turf. Whitefeathersfall rates next best, with Cockalorum and Strawman others fancied to be thereabouts.

It's hard to oppose the hat-trick seeking PAINTERS PALETTE (nap) who escapes a penalty for his recent AW win and acts on turf.
Class & Speed Card

Based on the summary, Daisy Jones seems to be the strongest contender as she has shown improvement in her recent races and sets the standard for this race. Parting Glass is also a potential contender as he showed promise in his debut and is expected to improve after being off for 6 months. Beaumadier may also have a chance if he can build on his recent improvement in his last race. The rest of the runners have either shown limited potential or have had poor performances in their previous races.

BEAUMADIER didn't show a great deal in two runs on the polytrack but has looked a different horse since switching to turf. The Michael Grassick-trained gelding belied odds of 200/1 when fourth at Naas last month, then followed that up with a second placing at the Curragh recently. Well drawn in stall 11, expect to see the son of Kuroshio jump out and make all. Parting Glass has to be respected given the fine start trainer Fozzy Stack has made to the season. This colt showed definite promise on his sole outing at the Curragh as a juvenile and the stable struck with a similar type recently. Daisy Jones has to concede weight to younger rivals but holds a leading chance all the same. In fact, her Navan third from last October is just about the best piece of individual form on offer.

DAISY JONES ran a cracker first time up last season and is still low mileage for her age. She can open her account. Beaumadier and Parting Glass can also make their presence felt.

Blinkers and a drop to 5f may do the trick for HEARTRATE. Likely dangers are the once-raced Parting Glass and Beaumadier

Based on the information provided, it seems that Liberty Lane and Majestic Warrior are the most promising horses. Both won their debut races and are expected to improve in their next outings. Quantum Cat and Prince Maxi are also worth keeping an eye on as they are described as promising types, with Quantum Cat having won his debut race and Prince Maxi being a 160,000 gns yearling with a strong pedigree.

Given he holds entries in both the English and Irish Derby's, LIBERTY LANE currently looks to be one of the flag bearers for Karl Burke's three-year-old colts this season. The son of Teofilo impressed with a five-length success on his sole start as a juvenile and while that form has taken a few subsequent knocks, this fellow still has bags of potential and is a highly appealing option on his reappearance. All-weather scorers Majestic Warrior and Quantum Cat rate as the pick of today's opposition.

LIBERTY LANE looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut at Nottingham in the autumn and a couple of Group 1 entries suggest he's been showing all the right signs at home. A successful reappearance is therefore a distinct possibility, for all there's plenty of depth to this novice with Quantum Cat and Majestic Warrior also unbeaten and likely to improve plenty.

Nottingham soft-ground winner LIBERTY LANE is the easiest to see in the same role today, with Majestic Warrior next best.

Based on the information provided, the horse with the most promising chances appears to be Charlie Luciano, as it has shown strong performances in hurdling before and is favored to perform well in this race. Other promising horses include Starman and Up And Out, although they are considered to be less likely to win than Charlie Luciano.

CHARLIE LUCIANO has finished runner-up in two of his four hurdle races and wouldn't be winning out of turn. A spin on the Flat at Dundalk last month should have blown the cobwebs away. Gordon Elliott's Up And Out was pulled up on his last start when he got bogged down on heavy ground at Wexford in October. He is coming off a break, but has two placed efforts on better ground in the book. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him show up well. Starman ran freely when a beaten favourite in Clonmel. If he settles better, he could get in the mix. Hey Skipper is a half-brother to a horse that has won seven times over hurdles, so isn't without hope on debut.

Having finished runner-up twice in this sphere last year, CHARLIE LUCIANO gets the verdict to go one better arriving on the back of a spin on the level at Dundalk early last month. Starman was a very disappointing favourite at Clonmel last month, but he may well get back on track here, with Up And Out and He Picked Us another couple to consider.

Providing the ground continues to dry out CHARLIE LUCIANO looks to have a good chance of providing trainer Noel Meade with a double

Mary Yeats has solid claims, having made a promising start when clear second of 8 in a bumper at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 39 days ago.

Grand National-winning handler Lucinda Russell could be about to unleash a smart type for the future in the shape of easy Musselburgh winner EL ELEFANTE. A half-sister to the talented Snake Roll, she can get the better of Mellificent and Dontyawantme, who may not have been in love with the ground when placed in a Listed bumper at Sandown last month. Blue Baloo, Flying Fortune and Leave Her To Me complete the shortlist.

Lots with chances but the vote goes to DONTYAWANTME who just holds the edge on form and also looked to have more to offer when third in a Sandown listed bumper last time. Mary seems sure to build on her debut Warwick second and rates the chief threat, although Irish point winner Bobbi's Beauty and Musselburgh-scorer El Elefante both need considering too along with the re-hooded Whisperonthewind.

4yos have held their own in this bumper and not only is FLYING FORTUNE's form right up there, but she's also battle-hardened.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there is limited information on their recent form and abilities. However, some horses that have shown promising form or potential include Purple Martini, Carvetii, Cinque Verde, Wreck It Ryley, and Havana Rum.

Only narrowly denied over 5f at Southwell on his latest outing, WRECK IT RYLEY has been highly consistent recently and commands respect if transferring that form to turf. He is rated 5lb above his last winning mark on the all-weather, but there is likely more to come from him. Havana Rum was a facile winner over this trip at Newcastle last October and is feared most, while Purple Martini also warrants a market check.

HAVANA RUM reacted really well to cheekpieces when a taking winner at Newcastle in October and having been gelded ahead of reappearance for his in-form yard, there's every chance he will pick up where he left off. Wreck It Ryley and Purple Martini are fit and in form so they are fancied to get involved.

Havana Rum will be a danger to all if handling the ground but NIGHTOUT may be the answer on his seasonal return.

It is difficult to make a confident prediction with limited information, but New Variant seems to be the strongest contender based on its recent performance and experience. Albert Park and King Leodegrance could also be potential competitors, with interesting breeding and some room for improvement. Sleepless Knight and Smooth Gale are less likely to perform well, especially since they are debutants.

Derby entry ALBERT PARK wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary in order to make a winning racecourse debut. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt is bred to appreciate a test of stamina and has been set a realistic target on his introduction. New Variant who showed ability on four starts as a juvenile, proved he had trained on when a fair third at Leopardstown recently. However, with a handicap mark of 83, he appears vulnerable to an improver. King Leodegrance is certainly bred for the job, being a half-brother to Group winner Mohawk. While he needs to step forward from an ordinary debut, the application of first-time blinkers could see the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt in a better light.

NEW VARIANT showed improved form in line with the step up in trip when third at Leopardstown (10f) on return 2 weeks ago and with this even greater test worth exploring he could well put his experience to good use and come out on top. Albert Park, on debut, and likely-improver King Leodegrance can provide the chief threats.

With an improved showing at Leopardstown on seasonal debut under his girth, NEW VARIANT can get off the mark.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform the best from this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that stand out as potential contenders are Harry Magnus, Naaser, Novus, and Rossmore Nation, all of whom have shown recent form and potential for improvement. Ultimately, handicapping races are often unpredictable, and any horse can surprise and win on the day.

HARRY MAGNUS has shaped well on the all-weather after undergoing surgery for a wind problem and having impressed with his attitude when he successfully stepped up to 7f at Kempton in January, he is taken to follow up on his turf return with a first-time tongue-tie applied. Monopolise, who won over C&D last autumn, is another serious contender after a respectable effort on the all-weather 15 days ago. Novus, Chartwell House and Havana Blue also warrant consideration.

The finale can go the way of HARRY MAGNUS, who got off the mark at Kempton earlier this year and remains capable of better now handicapping with a tongue tie added. Heading the list of dangers is Giant, whose runner-up effort at Kempton has been boosted by the third and fourth winning since, while Havana Blue and Naaser are two others who merit consideration.

There are several unexposed contenders to consider but LAND OF SUMMER is on a handy mark and is preferred to Giant.

Based on the summary provided, Doyenna 2 seems to be the strongest contender, having won recently and placing well in previous races. Tipp For Mac and The Big Chap also have potential, having performed well in recent races, while Mister Wilson and Second Subaltern are both lightly-raced but could surprise as they make their handicap hurdle debut. The other horses mentioned are less likely to win based on their recent performances.

DOYENNA is a useful mare who could be worth chancing on her return to action. She was unplaced in a Grade 3 mares' novice hurdle at Down Royal in November, but that was on unsuitable soft ground. She had earned a crack at that company by posting two victories over flights in Tramore and Fairyhouse. She will welcome this drying ground. Tipp For Mac was still in with a chance when unseating his rider at the last in Downpatrick. Rachael Blackmore stays loyal and the pair have brighter prospects than most. Second Subaltern showed ability in bumpers and could make an impact on handicap hurdle debut. The Big Chap and Steppenwolf will have their supporters. First-reserve I Don't Get It won off the front in Downpatrick and is likely to make this a searching test if getting a run.

SET POINT was fairly useful on the Flat and, while he hasn't reached that level yet over hurdles, there's every chance he will improve now handicapping, so he's preferred to Doyenna, who is down in grade. Tipp For Mac looked likely to win had he not unseated at the last at Downpatrick 18 days ago, so he's another obvious player.

After unseating when holding every chance at Downpatrick TIPP FOR MAC can gain compensation here

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do the best. However, if we take into account their recent performances and potential, Rogue Soldier and Flame Spirit seem to be strong contenders. As for preference, it depends on personal opinions and factors such as odds, jockey, and trainer.

CUE'S BEAU overcame a slow start to finish with a late rattle on debut at Kempton last month and could be a different proposition now she knows more about what is required. She got better the further she went that day and has been found a suitable race to make progress. Flame Spirit sets a reasonable standard on official ratings and is feared most, although Monte Linas is an interesting newcomer worth noting in the betting market.

CUE'S BEAU may have been sent off at big odds on her debut, but she caught the eye with her finishing effort when runner-up at Kempton last month and she can build on that effort to go one better. Flame Spirit got back on track when third at Wolverhampton last time and could be the main danger, with Monte Linas the pick of the newcomers.

There was plenty to like about CUE'S BEAU's recent debut second and she gets the vote with improvement on the cards.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, based on recent form, Chally Chute seems to have the potential to pick up where he left off with three wins from seven runs last year and a career-best win in his last outing. As a preference, I would choose Chally Chute, but it is important to consider all factors such as the distance and ground conditions before making a final decision.

NEWFOUNDLAND is interesting on his first start for Joseph O'Brien. The Deep Impact gelding, a full-brother to Oaks winner Snowfall, hasn't been seen since finishing mid-division in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot. He had won his maiden at Navan prior to that, after some good placed efforts, and there looks scope for further improvement this season. Chally Chute was in flying form towards the end of last season, with three wins and has to be respected. He now races off a 12lb higher mark than when last seen at Galway. Dalvey has been running consistently for the in-form James McAuley and can pick up some more prize-money.

Plenty to consider in this useful handicap but NEWFOUNDLAND appeals as the type to make a better 4-y-o so he gets the vote on reappearance. Taipan and Burren Song are fit and in form and they look the chief threats.

Jessica Harrington's TAIPAN has done a lot of his racing in smart company and may be capable of handicap success in this grade

Based on the summary, Bal De Rio seems to be the most promising contender as it won its last race comfortably and remains well treated on old form. However, if I had to give a preference, I would go with Lucky Zebo as it has shown promise on penultimate outing and has potential now handicapping. The other contenders either have below-average form or are yet to prove themselves in handicap hurdles.

GOLDEN SANDBANKS could exploit a hurdle mark 11lb lower than his chase rating. His second place in a rated novice chase at Cork in October reads very well as the winner has landed another three races since then, including a Grade B handicap chase at Leopardstown. Golden Sandbanks has been in decent nick on the Flat in winning at Dundalk in November and returning with a close fourth at the same venue last month. She's Tobias has switched to Ciaran Murphy and looks dangerous. She was second in maiden company at Roscommon in September before being a beaten favourite in third in a Sligo handicap hurdle the following month. The two horses that beat her have both scored since. Bal De Rio has won two of his last three. Those races were on testing ground, however, he has back form on better ground. Mister Twist is another to consider.

SHE'S TOBIAS shaped well on several occasions last season and is open to improvement back up in trip starting out for a new stable, so he's worth chancing. Lucky Zebo might well get back on the up, so he's regarded as a danger along with last-time-out winner Bal de Rio.

The manner in which BAL DE RIO (nap) justified market support at Ballinrobe suggested he could defy a penalty over this longer trip

Letmelivemylife and Wyvern are the most likely to do well based on their recent form and performance in their respective races. Spirit Of Nguru and Mobashr could also potentially be contenders if they are able to bounce back from their recent performances. Baileysgutfeeling and Gobi Sunset are less likely to be in the running for the win. Priscilla's Wish has potential to bounce back but may be a lower odds choice.

Letmelivemylife is on a roll and is respected in his bid for a four-timer, while Baileysgutfeeling warrants consideration on his first start since being gelded. However, preference is for MARLAY PARK, who has gone well fresh in the past and still has scope to improve on a synthetic surface. The selection wasn't beaten far in either of his two previous AW starts and, having previously won under Pat Cosgrave, there is a lot to like on his seasonal return.

LETMELIVEMYLIFE hasn't looked back since joining Sean Curran and a 2 lb rise in the weights for his latest C&D success doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from completing a four-timer. Both Wyvern and Mobashr arrive in good nick and can chase home the selection in that order.

Wyvern should go well again but the thriving LETMELIVEMYLIFE (nap) is fancied to complete a quick four-timer.

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Artistic Rifles may do well based on their past performance and success in 2021. However, their absence in 2022 and change in ownership could impact their performance. Saltonstall and Indian Wish also seem like competitive runners based on their recent form and past success.

SALTONSTALL looks the safest option here after a couple of good runs this season. The Pivotal gelding lost out by the narrowest of margins in the Irish Lincoln on his return last month before running a solid race to finish fourth in a strong listed race won by Buckaroo. Stablemate Casanova could be a danger here having been just a neck behind the selection in the Irish Lincoln. He is a couple of pounds worse off now but Adam Caffrey claims 2lb more off his back than Cian MacRedmond takes off the selection. Artistic Rifles is officially top-rated in the field but has to defy a long absence and may be best watched on his first outing for James McAuley. Monaasib was narrowly denied in listed company last season and is another that has to come into calculations in a tricky enough heat.

C&D winner SALTONSTALL confirmed himself as good as ever at the age of 9 with solid efforts both starts this spring, latterly when fourth at listed level, and he could be the answer to what rates a tricky puzzle. Villanova Queen remains low-mileage and is feared on return, with Indian Wish, on debut for Joseph O'Brien, and Casanova completing the shortlist.

The yard won the Gladness Stakes last weekend with a newly-recruited filly and they could strike here again with INDIAN WISH.

Ballyglass Beauty has a good chance of doing well based on the encouraging third place finish in the last race and previous success in beauty courses. Cheerful Chap and Dr Val also have potential based on past performances.

Drying ground will will have a big part to play in this race. BALLYGLASS BEAUTY ran a fair race in third, in the same grade, on soft ground at Thurles in March. His sole victory came on better ground over a similar trip at this track last September. Townhill Penny won over an extended 2m5f at Downpatrick last August. That success came on better ground, so she should relish this assignment. Prominent-racer Cheerful Chap has a shot at his second victory over hurdles. He was only beaten half a length into second over an extended 3m at Punchestown in February. He may prefer the ground to be a bit slower, though. Ray Barron takes 7lb off Desert Heather's back and this mare is performing consistently since graduating to the track after three point-to-point successes.

BALLYGLASS BEAUTY should be spot on after his encouraging Thurles third after a break so this course winner gets the vote in an open-looking handicap. Dr Val is also handily weighted and next on the list, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out more improvement, with in-form duo Townhill Penny and Cheerful Chap completing the shortlist.

Cases can be made for more than half of these but maybe the consistent BALLYGLASS BEAUTY can get a second win on the board

Kentucky Kingdom is likely to do well based on the summary.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM was only just denied in an apprentices' race over course and distance last week and created the impression he is capable of exploiting a lenient current mark. Joe Leavy retains the ride after that near-miss and his 7lb claim is a real plus. The Bay Warrior won over C&D on his penultimate start and is feared from just 2lb higher, while Princess Nieve is respected dropped back in distance on debut for a new yard.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM is 4 lb below his last winning mark and served notice that he's ready to cash in when runner-up over C&D a week ago, just failing. He makes plenty of appeal, with Kenilworth King and The Bay Warrior potential threats.

The return to this track suited KENTUCKY KINGDOM last week and he can improve on his healthy strike-rate over C&D.

Based on the summary, Secret Sauce seems to have the best chance of doing well as it has recently performed very well in a handicap race and the step up in trip may suit it. The addition of blinkers may also improve its performance. Slaney Tide also seems competitive based on its recent form.

Fozzy Stack has made a good start to the season and SECRET SAUCE may be able to give him another winner. The Starspangledbanner gelding chased home Rhythm King on his return at Bellewstown a fortnight ago and despite going up 4lb for that performance he looks capable of landing a race of this standard now. Slaney Tide ran a solid race when fourth to easy winner Duke Of Leggagh at Navan last month and having been eased a pound since she could be a danger. Timeless Piece hasn't run too badly in a couple of maidens this season and she looks one to note on her handicap debut off a lowly enough mark.

SECRET SAUCE showed improved form when second on his handicap bow at Bellewstown on his return 2 weeks ago despite taking a while to get going and can go one place better with this longer trip to his advantage. Handicap-debutants Real History and Notturno head the dangers.

This looks like an excellent opportunity for SECRET SAUCE(nap) who made an encouraging handicap and seasonal debut at Bellewstown

Based on the summary, Final Decision appears to be the leading contender as it has improved in its recent races and performed well in the previous mares maiden bumper at Thurles. I Am Shadow has also consistently finished in the frame in all four starts this season and could give another good account. Slim Marvel and Noble Annys are also shortlisted as they have shown some ability in their recent races. The rest of the horses seem unlikely to do well in this race based on their previous performances.

While FINAL DECISION is one of the more exposed mares in this contest, the Anthony McCann-trained four-year-old sets a reasonable standard for the opposition to match. Following a promising debut at Doncaster in November, the daughter of Iffraaj has posted fair efforts in three subsequent outings. If anything, her latest run, when a close third at Thurles in February, was her best piece of form to date. River Tara looks opposable on bare form but the very fact she makes her debut for Willie Mullins now makes her one to be interested in. Although her Killarney fifth probably wouldn't suffice, improvement should be forthcoming. I Am Shadow is a relatively consistent mare who also looks capable of going close in this ordinary affair.

FINAL DECISION left her previous form behind when third at Thurles last time, keeping on having been denied a clear run home turn, and she can build on that effort to open her account this time around. The 4-y-o is taken to get the better of the consistent I Am Shadow, while Slim Marvel could progress from her Rules debut.

The drying ground should suit FINAL DECISION who showed improved form last time and she gets the vote ahead of Slim Marvel

Based on the summary, Simply Sondheim seems to have the strongest chance of doing well as they had six wins from ten runs last year and made a winning return in a handicap race 19 days ago. They are expected to be thereabouts again from a slightly higher mark.

Haunted Dream was last seen finishing a fair third over 1m4f at Newmarket in October last year and must enter calculations on his return to the all-weather off a break, but SIMPLY SONDHEIM is narrowly preferred. George Boughey's four-year-old made a pleasing return to action when scoring by half a length at Kempton over 1m3f earlier this month and a 3lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop him following up. City Streak completes the shortlist.

An intriguing contest with the narrow vote in favour of CITY STREAK. He ended last term on the up, beaten only by one who subsequently finished runner-up at listed level and, still low mileage on all-weather, it's likely he can do better again as a 4-y-o. The likeable Haunted Dream and prolific winner Simply Sondheim are others fancied to be in the mix.

The drop back to 1m2f isn't certain to benefit Simply Sondheim who is taken on with CIVIL LAW, the mount of Billy Loughnane.

Based on the summary, Bigz Belief seems like a strong contender with a recent second place finish and a tongue strap on for the first time. Bringsty is also worth considering after a recent win and Lisamaria could be competitive based on past form. Miracles In May and Leabaland also have solid each-way chances.

MAGIC CHARM ran really well on his second outing for Martin Hassett and can strike again off this kind of mark. The Holy Roman Emperor gelding was third to Razdan on his return this season at the Curragh and that form has been boosted since with the runner-up Purple Gown going on to win in good style at Leopardstown. Bringsty handled softer conditions well when winning at Leopardstown and has to be respected despite a 9lb hike for that win. Colin Keane takes the ride again. Leabaland, third to the aforementioned Purple Gown at Leopardstown last time, has been knocking on the door and is another for the shortlist.

BIGZ BELIEF put in a good shift on his first start on the Flat for 2 years at Gowran on Tuesday and, if allowed to take his chance here, he could be the answer. The winner of that Gowran handicap, Rockview Roman, will be a threat if making the cut but, as things stand, Bringsty, who did the job well at Leopardstown recently, and Magic Charm may emerge as the main dangers.

The vote goes to MAGIC CHARM who started the season with a Curragh third placing, form boosted by the runner-up with a Leopardstown win

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there is not enough information about their recent form or potential. However, some horses to consider include Chrisco, who showed promise on their NH debut and comes from a stable in good form, and Our Uncle Jack, who has been shortlisted and has a hood on for the first time. Market indicators may also be important for horses such as Force Of The Moon and Vector Belle.

SOLDANTE should find this easier, having competed in stronger races since making his racecourse debut at Galway in October. Since then, the five-year-old has finished runner-up on two occasions and acquitted himself well on the other start. In a race which doesn't appear to hold too many surprises, he can get his head in front for the first time. Better was clearly expected of Chrisco when the Willie Mullins-trained gelding was a beaten odds-on favourite on his debut at Fairyhouse back in January. Given plenty of time to recover from those exertions, it would be surprising if we don't see a much better performance now. Brandt also failed to deliver when heading the market on his initial foray under rules but, he too, can show his true potential in this finale.

CHRISCO made a promising start, despite failing to land the odds, when third at Fairyhouse so can take a step forward here and get off the mark at the chief expense of Brandt who also looks to have better days ahead of him judged on his debut Punchestown sixth. Soldante has the form to play a part too and rates the pick of the rest.

Local hope SOLDANTE and the Mullins representative Chrisco stand out on form with slight preference for the former

Based on the summary, Jumira Bridge seems to be the most promising horse as it has won its last race and is expected to perform well with a 4 lb increase in weight. Saaheq, a C&D winner, also has a good chance of performing well having placed second in its last race. Mustaffiz and Street Life have the potential to bounce back from their recent losses and should also be considered. The other horses have either had long runs of not winning or lack a strong recent performance, so they may not fare as well.

JUMIRA BRIDGE made a winning return to handicapping over 6f at this track last month and a 4lb raised mark may not be enough to hold him back, given he kept on to score by a length and a quarter on that occasion. Saaheq filled the runner-up spot over this trip at Southwell last time and is feared, while the class-dropping Street Life is another to bear in mind.

MUSTAFFIZ was a bit too keen for his own good at Wolverhampton last time and is worth another chance back down to 5f given the form he was in. Saaheq and Red Walls are feared most.

Saaheq is of some interest after his Southwell second two weeks ago but STREET LIFE may be able to capitalise on the drop in class.

Concorde is predicted to do well based on the summary.

Turned out quickly after a stylish win at Redcar on Monday, CONCORDE must hold every chance of following up on his return to the all-weather despite a 6lb penalty. My Roxanne is a maiden through six starts but she ran a career-best last time out at Lingfield, while Dame Laura Knight remains open to improvement and is one to watch out for on her handicap debut.

CONCORDE proved a different proposition on the back of being gelded/6 months off when bolting up on handicap debut at Redcar 3 days ago and he's hard to oppose under a penalty with the prospect of more to come. My Roxanne may be one who gives the selection most to think about.

Having bolted up at Redcar on Monday this looks good for CONCORDE to defy a penalty.

Based on the information provided, Kiss My Face seems to have the strongest chance of doing well, having just won her last three races and making her polytrack debut. The other horses have either had a long period of time since their last win or have had less impressive recent performances.

KISS MY FACE has been a revelation since upped in trip on the all-weather and the four-timer looks very much on the cards - five if you include a hurdles success at Catterick in February. World Without Love has yet to win over this far but she did it well over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start, while Heath Rise will likely run well in defeat once more.

KISS MY FACE has been thriving lately and he's fancied to complete a four-timer despite the presence of World Without Love, who could find some improvement this year. The remaining trio can all have a case made for them, also.

Kiss My Face isn't opposed lightly but WORLD WITHOUT LOVE will be a real threat if reproducing her best 3yo form.
