1	11 1st (11) (12/1 +70%) Sadie Hill		12 12/1(+70%)																															(11) Sadie Hill 12/1, Improved when second on yard/handicap debut at Fontwell (19f, good) in October but has disappointingly failed to build on it since. Maiden (0-9); pretty modest since returning from wind surgery; competes from easing mark..
2	7 2nd (7) (7/1 -56%) Kalpaga		7 7/1(-56%)																															(7) Kalpaga 7/1, French import who was backed at big prices when cashing in on a reduced mark at Hereford (19.7f) 19 days ago. Did the job easily and though up 11 lb, she demands consideration. Made all to score (from a plummeting mark) at Hereford 19 days ago; sits 11lb higher here..
3	10 3rd (10) (10/1 +60%) Getbazoutofhere		10 10/1(+60%)																															(10) Getbazoutofhere 10/1, Hasn't returned in top form, but fourth-place finish at Stratford in first-time cheekpieces was more like and she's down to a tempting mark, Better in tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination at Stratford (2m6f); others make more appeal..
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +33%) Houi Cherie		4 4/1(+33%)																															(3) Houi Cherie 4/1, Showed fair form in bumpers last term and opened her account at the third attempt over timber in emphatic fashion here (20f, heavy) last month, jumping well. Switched to handicaps and never really looked comfortable at Carlisle. Now goes up in trip. All-the-way C&D maiden winner (6-4 fav) penultimate; much less effective at Carlisle since.
5th	9 5th (9) (2.5/1 +44%) Nikhi		2.5 2.5/1(+44%)																															(9) Nikhi 2.5/1, Fairly useful 2m Flat winner for Jedd O'Keeffe. Changed hands for 78,000 gns and shaped promisingly when third on hurdles debut here over 2m. Failed to jump with fluency both starts since but better expected now handicapping up in trip. Dual Flat winner (1m/2m); some promise over hurdles; tackling new trip for handicap debut..
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 -14%) Phillapa Sue		4 4/1(-14%)																															(2) Phillapa Sue 4/1, Placed both starts in novice hurdles last season and made a successful handicap debut on return at Hereford in November. Solid if unspectacular efforts sicne though this is easier than the Newbury race she contested latest. Reliable, despite being set some tough tasks, since winning at Hereford (2m3f) in November.
1	1 |PU| (1) (6.5/1 +7%) Jane Du Berlais		6.5 6.5/1(+7%)																															(1) Jane Du Berlais 6.5/1, Looked a bright prospect when winning on first completed start over hurdles at Lingfield (2m) in December. Found out under a penalty at Wetherby and brushed aside on handicap debut at Kelso a month ago. Still early days and he's now up significantly in trip. Solid enough Lingfield winner (2m mares' novice); jumped poorly at Kelso latest; capable.
6	6 |PU| (6) (28/1 -133%) Cotton End		28 28/1(-133%)																															(6) Cotton End 28/1, Lacked scope for chasing and pretty disappointing over those obstacles this season. On the plus side, her mark has come down a lot switched to hurdling and cheekpieces now go on. Stamina to prove but she's an interesting contender. Close third at Hereford (2m3f) last October; no joy over fences since; cheekpieces go on..

LTO Selection:

4.5/1 (7) KALPAGA seems to have the best recent form, having won easily at Hereford just 19 days ago. Although she is now up 11 lbs in weight, she still demands consideration. 5.5/1 (4) FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS won from a lower mark in January but subsequent efforts suggest she may be in the grip of the assessor. 6/1 (3) HOUI CHERIE also showed promise last month but struggled in her last race at Carlisle. 25/1 (10) GETBAZOUTOFHERE is down to a tempting mark but hasn't returned to top form yet. 12/1 (6) COTTON END is an interesting contender with her mark having come down a lot since switching to hurdling, but she still has stamina to prove. 3.5/1 (2) PHILLAPA SUE has been solid but unspectacular, and 4.5/1 (9) NIKHI is tackling a new trip for her handicap debut. 7/1 (1) JANE DU BERLAIS is early on in her career and is now up significantly in trip. Based on this information, 4.5/1 (7) KALPAGA is the most likely to do well in the next race.

KALPAGA bolted up at Hereford last time over 2m3f and she was put up 11lb for that effort, which might not be enough to prevent the mare from going in once more. With conditions in her favour and the step up in trip a possible source of improvement, she could prove tough to beat. Fay Ce Que Voudras has to be respected, as she takes a drop in class and was dropped 2lb for a respectable effort at Chepstow last time. Phillapa Sue is another to consider.

It might be worth taking a punt on COTTON END, who arrives in no sort of form over fences but the assessor has given her a major chance returned to the smaller obstacles and the fitting of cheekpieces can be viewed as a sign of intent. Kalpaga will doubtless be popular given the ease in which she won at Hereford, with Nikhi a potential improver over this trip.

Kalpaga may have more to offer, but the tentative suggestion is Fergal O'Brien's PHILLAPA SUE who boasts a consistent profile.

1	1 1st (1) (0.4/1 +0%) Epictetus		0.4 0.4/1(+0%)																															(1) Epictetus 0.4/1, Very good at 2, winning on Newmarket debut in July before runner-up in Group 2 Autumn Stakes there (Rowley Mile) and Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (beaten 3½ lengths by Auguste Rodin). Sets a high standard for a yard with an excellent record in this race. Runner-up in the Vertem Futurity on final 2yo start; well clear on the figures.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 +25%) Hadrianus		9 9/1(+25%)																															(2) Hadrianus 9/1, Promising start to his career on AW at the end of 2022, second at Newcastle before going better at Kempton (11f). Definitely more to come from him. Made all in 1m3f AW race at Kempton when last seen; open to further progress.
3	6 3rd (6) (33/1 +18%) Cite d'Or		33 33/1(+18%)																															(6) Cite d'Or 33/1, Two wins from 6 runs in Britain last year but struggled in Dubai at the start of 2023 and fared no better in a French Group 3 24 days ago. Hard to fancy. Rather an exposed filly but she's the only runner with Epsom form.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 +24%) Think First		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Think First 25/1, Back-to-back novice winner at Chelmsford in August/September before finding listed company too much back on turf at Pontefract in October. Needs improvement to get heavily involved here. Came up short in Listed grade when last seen; appears to have a tough task.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.33/1 +45%) Stormbuster		3.33 3.33/1(+45%)																															(4) Stormbuster 3.33/1, Second in a 1m Salisbury listed before producing a useful effort to get off the mark in a 1m Newbury novice in September. Well behind Epictetus in Futurity at Doncaster on final start, though. Possibly unsuited by heavy ground in the Vertem Futurity; progressive otherwise.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary, 0.4/1 (1) EPICTETUS seems to be the strongest candidate as they have had a very good 2-year-old season and have set a high standard for their yard. 6/1 (4) STORMBUSTER and 8.5/1 (3) INTRICACY also have potential, but 0.4/1 (1) EPICTETUS' record and performance in Group races suggest they may be the one to beat. 12/1 (2) HADRIANUS also seems like a promising prospect with room for further improvement. 33/1 (5) THINK FIRST and 40/1 (6) CITE D'OR may struggle to keep up with the top contenders.

EPICTETUS sets a high standard having filled the runner-up spot to leading 2000 Guineas hope Auguste Rodin in the Vertem Futurity at Doncaster in October and the son of Kingman looks to have found a good opening to kick off his season. Stormbuster weakened into last on that occasion, but it's too early to write him off and this step up in trip could bring about enough improvement to mount a challenge. Last-time-out winners Intricacy and Hadrianus are likely capable of better and can't be discounted either.

It's hard to see past EPICTETUS, who rapidly developed into a smart performer at 2 and can enhance the Gosden stable's fine record in this race. Intricacy looked good when readily accounting for some reasonable opposition at Wolverhampton in December and could be the one to give him most to think about.

Standard-setter EPICTETUS can enhance the Gosden yard's great record in this race. Stormbuster is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (1.25/1 -56%) Sir Bolton		1.25 1.25/1(-56%)																															(3) Sir Bolton 1.25/1, Foaled March 10. €155,000 yearling, Blue Point colt. Dam winner around 1m (including at 2 yrs) out of winning half-sister to smart 2-y-o 1m/9f winner (stayed 1½m) Taranto. Connections have had a good start with their newcomers and lots to like. Blue Point colt rates an interesting newcomer for stable which is going really well.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 +64%) Clueless		12 12/1(+64%)																															(5) Clueless 12/1, Foaled April 19. Bobby's Kitten filly. Dam, placed at 6f at 2 yrs, should have been suited by 7f. 1 of 2 newcomers for yard. Daughter of Bobby's Kitten; market can prove a good guide for this newcomer.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +60%) Kurimu		10 10/1(+60%)																															(6) Kurimu 10/1, Foaled March 12. Study of Man filly. Dam unraced sister to smart winner up to 9.5f Euro Charline. 1 of 2 newcomers for yard. Study Of Man filly; betting can be an accurate indicator for this newcomer.
5th	4 5th (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Cake By The Ocean		6.5 6.5/1(+19%)																															(4) Cake By The Ocean 6.5/1, Foaled April 18. €45,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Hototo and 1½m winner Jazz Party. Dam 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Soldier's Call filly is a half-sister to two winners so she can't be ruled out.
6th	1 6th (1) (33/1 +34%) King Garwood		33 33/1(+34%)																															(1) King Garwood 33/1, 28/1, 21¾ lengths last of 9 to Yorkshire Terrier in novice at Southwell (5f) on debut 16 days ago. That form isn't great and blinkers need to transform him. Last on his debut in 5f Southwell novice; blinkers are quickly reached for now.
2	2 |DQ| (2) (1.88/1 +44%) Shayekh		1.88 1.88/1(+44%)																															(2) Shayekh 1.88/1, Foaled March 26. £37,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Closely related to winner up to 1m Believe Your Eyes. Dam, useful winner up to 9f (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to useful 1m-9f winner Kaanoon. Yard can ready one and he's got to be feared. This son of Kodiac needs considering on his debut for yard among the winners.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary, the 0.8/1 (3) SIR BOLTON Blue Point colt and the 3.33/1 (2) SHAYEKH Kodiac colt are both rated as interesting newcomers for their respective stables, with the connections having a good start with their newcomers. They are both likely to do well, but it is difficult to predict which one will do better without more information. The 5/1 (7) PHOENIX DUCHESS daughter of Phoenix of Spain also catches the eye on paper and is an interesting newcomer. The other three newcomers have less information available, but they cannot be ruled out completely. The 50/1 (1) KING GARWOOD was last on his debut and needs blinkers to potentially improve his performance.

The in-form team of Dominic Ffrench Davis and Kevin Stott team up once again for owners Amo Racing and they can add another win to their growing tally with debutant SIR BOLTON. Out of a German Listed-winning dam, the son of Blue Point cost 155,000 euros as a yearling and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking. Cake By The Ocean is related to plenty of winners and rates the most immediate danger, while Shayekh is another to consider.

This is likely to go to a newcomer, with SIR BOLTON making plenty of appeal for connections who have enjoyed a fine start to the season. Shayekh and Phoenix Duchess are a couple of others to note, and the betting will be informative.

Dominic Ffrench Davis's Blue Point colt SIR BOLTON fetched 155,000euros as a yearling so is taken to continue the yard's fine run.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +60%) Garincha		4 4/1(+60%)																															(2) Garincha 4/1, Dual chase winner this season. Had a possible excuse (badly hampered eleventh) when a remote fourth at Taunton last time and treated as if still in form. Won at Fontwell in March and badly hampered at Taunton since; he's one for the shortlist..
2	3 2nd (3) (1/1 +64%) Eaton Collina		1 1/1(+64%)																															(3) Eaton Collina 1/1, It's all clicked for him over fences this spring, opening his account at Chepstow in late February and following up over 21f at Ascot 23 days ago. A further 6 lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick. On hat-trick after wins at Chepstow and Ascot; up 6lb but he's still not taken lightly.
3	1 3rd (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Viva Lavilla		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Viva Lavilla 5.5/1, Point/hurdles winner who posted his best effort over fences when third of 5 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.5f, soft) In January. Cheekpieces on first time. Thereabouts if reacting positively to the headgear. Good third in 2m4f Wetherby handicap in January; cheekpieces on now; not ruled out.
4	8 4th (8) (10/1 +9%) King Turgeon		10 10/1(+9%)																															(8) King Turgeon 10/1, Placed both starts over fences in France. Back on track following a wind op when scoring at Fontwell (21.5f, soft) last month but he disappointed when a remote fifth at Exeter since. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces now. Won for current yard at Fontwell but remote Exeter 6th since; blinkers replace cheekpieces.
7	7 |PU| (7) (6/1 +57%) Marco Island		6 6/1(+57%)																															(7) Marco Island 6/1, Bumper winner who opened his hurdles account at the second attempt at Chepstow (19.5f) last February. Looked an interesting one for handicaps after that but has disappointing switched to fences this season. Still early days but something to prove for now. Scored over hurdles at Chepstow last February but yet to fire in two runs in this sphere.

LTO Selection:

---

It's difficult to make a definitive prediction based on this summary alone, but two horses stand out as potentially strong contenders: 2.75/1 (3) EATON COLLINA and 3/1 (5) JAZZ KING. Both have recent wins and appear to be in good form over fences. 5.5/1 (4) WEWILLGOWITHPLANB and 10/1 (2) GARINCHA also seem to have potential, but may need to prove themselves further in this sphere. The others have either yet to show their ability over fences or have had recent struggles, making them less likely to be top contenders in their next race.

Viva Lavilla returns from a short break for the in-form Dan Skelton yard and the seven-year-old tries first-time cheekpieces, which could spark some improvement. However, he may have to play second best to JAZZ KING, who hacked up over this trip at Ludlow on his latest outing and was only put up 7lb for that effort. The son of Kapgarde is likely to have loads more to come on only his second chase start and can strike once again. Wewillgowithplanb returns back to this sphere and that could prove a positive move.

An interesting novice handicap. JAZZ KING is open to improvement on the back of his comfortable Ludlow chase debut success and can make light of a 7 lb rise. Wewillgowithplanb is another who likely has more to offer in this sphere and may provide the chief threat ahead of the hat-trick seeking Eaton Collina.

Richard Bandey's 6yo WEWILLGOWITHPLANB looks the way to go here with this longer trip very much in his favour now he goes back chasing.

1	7 1st (7) (6.5/1 +28%) Bad Company		6.5 6.5/1(+28%)																															(7) Bad Company 6.5/1, Reliable operator who ended 2022 in good form, winning in the mud here (1½m) before runner-up on final 3 starts (including C&D). Fourth in this race last year. Likely to be on the premises if fully tuned up. Has some respectable course form but he's currently weighted to the hilt.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -9%) Caius Chorister		6 6/1(-9%)																															(3) Caius Chorister 6/1, Rapid improver switched to handicaps last year, completing a 5-timer (third and fourth legs over 1½m here) at Glorious Goodwood. Also excellent second in ultra-competitive 1¾m Melrose at York Ebor meeting. Yard won this race last year but this trip on the short side for her. Generally progressive last season; 2-2 at Epsom and 4-4 under Benoit De La Sayette.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -50%) Soto Sizzler		12 12/1(-50%)																															(2) Soto Sizzler 12/1, Won this off an identical mark last year when under the care of David Menuisier. Well beaten on Kempton reappearance/yard debut 15 days ago. The refitting of cheekpieces might help but he needs to leave that effort well behind. Has form figures of 112212 at Epsom, including a success in this contest last year.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 +0%) Fantastic Fox		8 8/1(+0%)																															(4) Fantastic Fox 8/1, Back on track when runner-up on heavy ground over this trip at Newbury last October and had an excuse (trapped wide) when below form on AW final start. Good third over the extended 1m here at last year's Derby meeting. Best effort last term when third in useful handicap here on Oaks day; place claims.
5th	9 5th (9) (5/1 +33%) Scampi		5 5/1(+33%)																															(9) Scampi 5/1, Three wins 1½m wins last term, including here. Ended his campaign with a creditable fifth of 12 in a competitive race at Newcastle (12.5f) in September. Consistent type but might be best to look elsewhere this time over a trip shorter than ideal. Largely consistent; all wins at 1m4f but could go well if coping with return to 1m2f.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 -14%) Rhythmic Intent		25 25/1(-14%)																															(6) Rhythmic Intent 25/1, Useful sort who bagged Mallard Handicap at Doncaster in September 2021. Creditable third of 7 in 1½m Newmarket handicap last April but he hasn't been seen since then. Watching brief is the percentage call. Badly lacks recent match practice and may find this trip too sharp now.
7th	5 7th (5) (3.5/1 +30%) Lord Protector		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(5) Lord Protector 3.5/1, Back to winning ways in 1¼m Sandown handicap last June. Unlucky not to finish closer (had to wait for gap) when fifth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood next time and something can't have been right at the Ebor meeting on final start. Type to bounce back on reappearance for yard going well. Has had wind op. Had wind surgery since last run; the pick of his 2022 form puts him in the picture.
8th	8 8th (8) (2.25/1 +18%) Educator		2.25 2.25/1(+18%)																															(8) Educator 2.25/1, Made a winning handicap debut/reappearance at Newmarket (1¼m) last April. Not seen again until the autumn, finishing second at Salisbury before well held in a valuable handicap back at Newmarket. Returns as an unexposed sort from a top yard. Has to be high on the shortlist. Lightly raced; could well resume his progress back down in distance; remains of interest.

LTO Selection:

---

5.5/1 (3) CAIUS CHORISTER seems like a strong contender as a generally progressive horse who has had recent success in handicaps and finished second in a competitive race at the York Ebor meeting. The fact that the yard won this race last year also adds to his appeal. 5/1 (5) LORD PROTECTOR may also be worth considering as he has had wind surgery and has shown good form in the past, including winning a Sandown handicap and finishing fifth in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood. 2.75/1 (8) EDUCATOR might also be of interest as an unexposed sort from a top yard who has previously made a winning handicap debut.

HARROVIAN hasn't quite hit the same heights since being campaigned on the all-weather, but he returns to handicaps on the turf off what appears to be a tempting mark, so the seven-year-old could return to winning ways. Educator may find some improvement for a gelding operation and has to command the utmost respect, having won on his seasonal reappearance at Newmarket last April, with the returning Scampi making most appeal of the remainder.

EDUCATOR is proven when fresh and it'll be a surprise if he's reached his limit after only 6 starts so he gets the nod. Ralph Beckett has his team in form and Lord Protector is an interesting contender back from wind surgery. The classy Harrovian may prove best of the rest.

Preference is for CAIUS CHORISTER (nap), who could well have more to offer this season. Educator is feared most.

Half-brother to useful 1m-1½m winner Warnaq and 1m winner Glaceon, from good family. 22/1 and hooded, third of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 31 days ago, running on and shaping well.

Dam 7f-9.5f winner, runner up in UAE 1000 Guineas and Balanchine. 1 of 2 appealing newcomers for top yard. 525,000gns yearling; lots to like on paper; son of Kingman is a most interesting newcomer.

Make Believe colt; half-brother to four winners; appeals on pedigree but market can guide.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 -65%) Folk Star		66 66/1(-65%)																															(8) Folk Star 66/1, From a good family but well held in a couple of fillies' novice events in October. Seventh in novices at Windsor and over C&D last October; more is needed on her return.

2.5/1 (6) ZIRYAB and 4/1 (5) SAVANNA KING are the most likely to do well based on their impressive pedigrees and being trained by respected yards. 3.33/1 (1) BEAR ON THE LOOSE also showed promise in their debut, so could also perform well in future races.

Bear On The Loose hit the line with plenty of conviction when third at Lingfield last month and he warrants consideration with the in-form Daniel Muscutt in the saddle. Preference, however, goes to the 525,000gns purchase, ZIRYAB. The stoutly-bred son of Kingman is a full-brother to King Leonidas and he can replicate his sibling by landing the spoils on his racecourse debut. Although Kingfisher King's pedigree suggests his best exploits may come over further, he could also hit the ground running.

BEAR ON THE LOOSE shaped well on debut at Lingfield last month and gets the vote before market clues can sort out the newcomers, Kingfisher King and Ziryab two in particular to note.

Some potentially useful newcomers on show and the Gosden's costly Kingman colt ZIRYAB gets the nod over stablemate Savanna King.

1	6 1st (6) (3/1 +14%) Prince Des Fichaux		3 3/1(+14%)																															(6) Prince Des Fichaux 3/1, Fair maiden over hurdles and ran to similar level when 2¾ lengths third of 6 to Robyndzone in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good to soft) on debut over fences 19 days ago. Claims if building on that in first-time cheekpieces. Made good start to chasing career when third at Hereford this month; cheekpieces may help.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 -133%) Robyndzone		7 7/1(-133%)																															(9) Robyndzone 7/1, Returned to form when taking 6-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, driven out. 4 lb rise fair and another bid is on the cards. Came good for stable when making virtually all at Hereford this month; 4lb rise manageable.
3	8 3rd (8) (6/1 +33%) Pilot Show		6 6/1(+33%)																															(8) Pilot Show 6/1, Point winner who improved on hurdles form to make a successful debut over fences at Catterick (25.3f) in December and ran creditably when fourth at this course (23.8f) the following month. Not been in same form since, however. Finished well to make winning chase debut in December but not in same form again since.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +39%) Last Quarter		5.5 5.5/1(+39%)																															(3) Last Quarter 5.5/1, Hurdles winner who left his chase bow well behind when just failing at this course (23.8f) last month. Below par at Uttoxeter since but could well bounce back here. Went very close here two starts ago but has become unreliable.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 +36%) Alkopop		16 16/1(+36%)																															(2) Alkopop 16/1, Run creditably in defeat over hurdles this term but failed to complete both starts in this sphere and makes limited appeal. Won off this mark last season but has poor completion record over fences; pulled up latest.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 +12%) Sandy Boy		22 22/1(+12%)																															(7) Sandy Boy 22/1, Successful off 8 lb higher at Uttoxeter in November 2021 but nowhere near that level since returning from 15-month absence, beaten a long way when fourth at Exeter latest. Quirky customer who hasn't really fired since returning from a long absence this year.
7th	10 7th (10) (4.5/1 +44%) Copper Cove		4.5 4.5/1(+44%)																															(10) Copper Cove 4.5/1, Fairly useful winner in bumpers but just modest form in 4 starts over hurdles and remains to be seen if switch to chasing brings about improvement. Just a respectable sixth on handicap hurdle debut but still has low mileage; interesting.
8th	5 8th (5) (5/1 +29%) Premier D'troice		5 5/1(+29%)																															(5) Premier D'troice 5/1, Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when landing a Uttoxeter handicap chase (26f) last June. Largely below that level since but offered more the last twice (latest over hurdles) and could be a player. Sound effort when placed in latest chase and now 5lb below last winning mark.
11	11 |F| (11) (28/1 -133%) Easkey Lad		28 28/1(-133%)																															(11) Easkey Lad 28/1, Off the mark over fences at Uttoxeter (24f) in October and backed that up with good third in Worcester handicap (23f). Given a break since disappointing over hurdles subsequently and can't be ruled out. Made good start to chasing career in autumn; off since poor hurdle run six months ago.
1	1 |PU| (1) (33/1 -313%) Ebony Gale		33 33/1(-313%)																															(1) Ebony Gale 33/1, Won 4 handicaps (at up to 24.3f) for Philip Hobbs in 2021 and ran creditably when last seen at Kempton 13 months ago. Now with Peter Bowen and returns on a workable mark. Cheekpieces back on. Worth a second look in the market. Four-time chase winner in 2021 but today's stable debut comes after a 402-day absence.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as each horse has their own strengths and weaknesses and there is no clear standout. However, some horses that may be worth considering include 3/1 (9) ROBYNDZONE, 3.5/1 (6) PRINCE DES FICHAUX, 8/1 (1) EBONY GALE, 9/1 (3) LAST QUARTER, and 12/1 (11) EASKEY LAD. These horses have either shown recent good form or have potential based on their past performances. Ultimately, it may be wise to wait and see how the market reacts to each horse before making a betting decision.

Robyndzone won for the first time in almost three years when beating a subsequent winner at Hereford earlier in the month, but he may be worth taking on now effectively 10lb higher in the handicap with Charlie Deutsch back in the saddle. PRINCE DES FICHAUX was just under three lengths behind on that occasion and holds strong claims in reversing the form now only 1lb higher in the ratings. Premier D'troice arrives in good heart and is another to note.

ROBYNDZONE has a good strike rate over fences and arrives on back of a recent victory at Hereford. Still fairly treated, he can score again. Prince des Fichaux and Premier d'Troice rate the principal dangers.

Prince Des Fichaux still has potential but it might be worth chancing unexposed 6yo COPPER COVE, who makes his chasing debut today.

1	1 1st (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Sir Rumi		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Sir Rumi 5.5/1, Tasted success only once last year but proved most reliable and returned from 5 months off with good second at Doncaster (10.2f) 23 days ago. Failed to threaten at Kempton since but better showing anticipated back on turf. Generally consistent on turf; versatile regarding trip/ground; should go well.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.33/1 +49%) Flyin' Solo		3.33 3.33/1(+49%)																															(3) Flyin' Solo 3.33/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who is evidently not the easiest to train but didn't shape too badly returning from 11 months off when sixth in 10-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f) 23 days ago. Possible he can build on that provided he stands more regular racing. Ran well at Ascot on sole start last year; seemed to need his 2023 reappearance.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 +36%) Tashi		14 14/1(+36%)																															(5) Tashi 14/1, Just the one win from 21 starts for Sheila Lavery in Ireland and she ran below her best when eighteenth in 20-runner Naas handicap (2m) in final start in November. Interesting to see if yard switch has positive effect here (acquired for 30,000 gns later that month). Record of just 1-21 for Sheila Lavery; opposed on debut for new yard.
4	12 4th (12) (7.5/1 +17%) Saligo Bay		7.5 7.5/1(+17%)																															(12) Saligo Bay 7.5/1, Ran well back from 5 months off when third at Windsor (10f) in October and added to his tally over hurdles at Lingfield (2m) in November. Revised mark halted any further progress in that sphere but he returns to the Flat with his yard continuing amongst the winners. Finished well over 1m2f when last seen on Flat; return to 1m4f looks ideal.
5th	4 5th (4) (7.5/1 +25%) Haseefah		7.5 7.5/1(+25%)																															(4) Haseefah 7.5/1, Hit the ground running with back-to-back victories at 1m 4f last May prior to hitting the frame next 2 starts. Below best on final start at Newmarket (12f) in October but returns with yard in good form and she's no forlorn hope. Won at Chester and Goodwood last May; should take well to Epsom; interesting.
6th	10 6th (10) (11/1 -38%) Madame Ambassador		11 11/1(-38%)																															(10) Madame Ambassador 11/1, Showed fine attitude when winning 4-runner handicap at Newmarket in August and matched that form when adding to that on the Rowley course in October. Not disgraced faced with testing ground when fourth at Doncaster (11.9f) final start but present mark does demand a little more. Consistent filly who scored twice at Newmarket last season; not dismissed.
7th	13 7th (13) (14/1 +13%) The Conqueror		14 14/1(+13%)																															(13) The Conqueror 14/1, Fairly useful handicapper who added to his tally over 10f at Baden Baden for Andreas Wohler last summer. Entitled to come on for his return/yard debut effort at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 15 days ago and yard enjoy plenty of success at this venue. Ex-German; not crying out for this new trip on second British start.
8th	9 8th (9) (2.75/1 +45%) Neandra		2.75 2.75/1(+45%)																															(9) Neandra 2.75/1, Drew clear impressively when making a winning handicap debut at Lingfield (12f, AW) in July and shaped well for a long way when midfield in a deep handicap over extended 13f at York in October. This sort of mark within reach on that evidence and interesting on return/down in trip. Open to further progress back at 1m4f; trainer has won this race three times; respected.
9th	7 9th (7) (11/1 -57%) Open Champion		11 11/1(-57%)																															(7) Open Champion 11/1, Fairly useful winner for Roger Varian last term. Fell on yard/hurdles debut in February but shaped much better than bare result back on Flat when sixth at Kempton (11f) 24 days ago. Remains relatively unexposed and he's one to be interested in. Latest effort needs marking up; good chance off same mark granted better luck.
10th	8 10th (8) (100/1 -203%) State Legend		100 100/1(-203%)																															(8) State Legend 100/1, Successful 3 times at up to 12f last year for James Ferguson. Offered only a modicum of promise over hurdles for new yard since the turn of the year and he needs to do a little more to defy this mark back on the Flat. Holds weak claims on his Flat/hurdles form for current yard.

LTO Selection:

---

7/1 (7) OPEN CHAMPION and 5/1 (9) NEANDRA are the most promising horses based on the summary. Both have shown good form in the past and have recently put in respectable performances. 7/1 (7) OPEN CHAMPION is relatively unexposed and is one to be interested in, while 5/1 (9) NEANDRA's trainer has won this race three times, which adds to his appeal.

In this competitive contest marginal preference goes to the lightly raced four-year-old, OPEN CHAMPION, who found plenty of trouble in-running when sixth at Kempton last time out. The son of Postponed shaped better than the bare result suggested and gets the tentative vote stepping up in trip. Sir Rumi takes a step into calmer waters and must be respected with William Buick on board. The handicapper has loosened his grip on Dark Pine and he completes the shortlist.

A dual winner on all-weather last year, NEANDRA shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when finishing midfield in a stronger race over further at York in October and, from what rates a workable mark, she earns the vote to come out on top returned to action. Kempton eye-catcher Open Champion similarly remains low-mileage and he's feared, along with Lingfield-scorer Wonder Starelzaam and Sir Rumi.

Several runners are interesting, most notably NEANDRA. Open Champion and Haseefah give Alan King a strong hand.

Creditable 5¼ lengths sixth of 21 to You Wear It Well in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle (66/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft) 40 days ago. Good shout.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +25%) The Model Kingdom		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(4) The Model Kingdom 4.5/1, Useful hurdler. C&D winner. 33/1, 34¼ lengths sixteenth of 21 to You Wear It Well in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft) 40 days ago.

Could go well if this becomes a speed test.

5th	8 5th (8) (5/1 -82%) Night And Day		5 5/1(-82%)																															(8) Night And Day 5/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in January. 16/1, pulled up in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago won by Ashroe Diamond, behind when pulled up early in straight.
6th	13 6th (13) (80/1 -100%) Dame Rapide		80 80/1(-100%)																															(13) Dame Rapide 80/1, Useful Flat winner. 66/1, first run since leaving Barry Fitzgerald when fourth of 21 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 16 days ago. Plenty more needed.
7th	2 7th (2) (4/1 +11%) Nikini		4 4/1(+11%)																															(2) Nikini 4/1, Useful hurdler. Below form 16¼ lengths twelfth of 21 to You Wear It Well in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle (14/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft) 40 days ago. Big player on best form.
8th	9 8th (9) (25/1 +24%) Popova		25 25/1(+24%)																															(9) Popova 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Thurles in December. Respectable third of 9 in minor event hurdle (11/2) at Naas (16.3f, soft) 26 days ago. Not out of it.
9th	6 9th (6) (11/1 -22%) Ladybank		11 11/1(-22%)																															(6) Ladybank 11/1, Won (dead-heated with Princess Zoe) over further here in January. 100/1, 16¾ lengths thirteenth of 21 to You Wear It Well in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft) 40 days ago.
10th	14 10th (14) (66/1 -100%) Enfranchise		66 66/1(-100%)																															(14) Enfranchise 66/1, Useful handicapper on Flat, good second final start in 2022. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Ennistown (winner up to 3¼m, by Authorized), stays 4m. This is a tough starting point over jumps.
11th	5 11th (5) (66/1 -100%) All About Lucy		66 66/1(-100%)																															(5) All About Lucy 66/1, Improved when winning 13-runner novice hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft, 13/2) 16 days ago. Plenty more needed.
12th	1 12th (1) (25/1 -39%) Henning		25 25/1(-39%)																															(1) Henning 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle (13/2) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 26 days ago, driven out. This is a step up again and she'll need more.
13th	3 13th (3) (7/1 +30%) Saylavee		7 7/1(+30%)																															(3) Saylavee 7/1, Useful hurdler. 33/1, sixteenth of 21 in Martin Pipe at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft) 39 days ago.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as there are several horses with varying levels of experience and recent form. However, some contenders may include 2.75/1 (8) NIGHT AND DAY, who won a hurdle at Clonmel in January, or 4/1 (10) SHECOULDBEANYTHING, who had a creditable performance at Cheltenham 40 days ago. 33/1 (9) POPOVA, a winner at Thurles in December and a respectable third at Naas 26 days ago, may also be a challenger. Ultimately, it will depend on the individual horse's performance on the day of the race.

THE MODEL KINGDOM disappointed when down the field at Cheltenham last time but should be much better suited to these conditions. A Grade 3 bumper winner at the festival last season, the Noel Meade-trained mare is at her best on tight flat tracks. She finished in front of Shecouldbeanything when the pair clashed in a Grade 2 Hurdle at Naas in January and looks capable of upholding that form here. The latter mare, trained by Gordon Elliott, was an honourable sixth at Cheltenham on her most recent start, so should appreciate the less demanding task she now encounters. With only four career runs over flights, the six-year-old has more scope than the majority of this field. Willie Mullins has a strong hand with Saylavee appearing the best of his three representatives.

SHECOULDBEANYTHING fared best of these in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham and looks the way to go. Walk With Paul and Nikini are a couple of the other likely sorts.

As the pick of Paul Townend, Night And Day has to be respected but THE MODEL KINGDOM saves her best for this track and is chosen

1	5 1st (5) (1.75/1 +42%) Kessaar Power		1.75 1.75/1(+42%)																															(5) Kessaar Power 1.75/1, First run since leaving J. S. Moore when making all in an 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 11/4) 40 days ago. May face competition for the lead this time but 4 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations. Gelded since latest start. Won on yard debut at Chelsmford last month; since gelded and warrants respect.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 -20%) Open Market		6 6/1(-20%)																															(7) Open Market 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. 16/1 and hooded for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 13 days ago. She doesn't look straightforward, though, and is probably worth taking on. Good Nottingham 2nd for her new yard latest; she's well in the mix off the same mark.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.25/1 -50%) Beelzebub		2.25 2.25/1(-50%)																															(4) Beelzebub 2.25/1, Promising type. One win from 3 runs last year. 6/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 22 days ago, just holding on. 4 lb rise tolerable and he probably has more to offer. Improving sort; won at Newcastle despite going freely/racing wide; can complete hat-trick.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +36%) Sassy Belle		3.5 3.5/1(+36%)																															(2) Sassy Belle 3.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 6/4 and blinkered for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 11-runner minor event at Leicester (6f, heavy) on the final of her 5 starts last season. Resumes on what is probably a workable mark and, while more is needed, she's certainly not discounted. Signed off last autumn with 6f Leicester novice success; must enter calculations.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 -45%) Pembrokeshire		16 16/1(-45%)																															(3) Pembrokeshire 16/1, Lightly-raced C&D winner. 20/1, fifth of 6 in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f), doing too much too soon. Off 8 months and will need to have improved during the winter if he's to take this. Debut C&D winner last June but he failed to go on in three runs after; lots more needed.

LTO Selection:

---

1.5/1 (4) BEELZEBUB is the most likely to do well in this race, as he has recently won two races and is expected to have more to offer.

SASSY BELLE displayed her liking for heavy underfoot conditions when travelling strongly to win a restricted novice stakes contest at Leicester in October and returns to handicaps on her seasonal debut with leading claims. Beelzebub completed a double on his return to action at Newcastle earlier in the month and is feared most off only 4lb higher in the ratings. Fellow last-time-out winner Kessaar Power made the perfect stable debut at Chelmsford last month and also enters the fray having received an identical rise.

Despite still looking a shade rough around the edges, BEELZEBUB built on his Chelmsford novice success when following up on his handicap bow at Newcastle earlier this month. It's likely that there's better to come from this son of Dark Angel and he shaped well on his sole previous turf start when making his debut at Newbury in October. Kessaar Power is a much-respected main danger on the back of his all-the-way win at Chelmsford, while Fox Master also needs considering now handicapping.

The verdict goes to improving BEELZEBUB (nap), who can make light of a 4lb rise in the weights and complete his hat-trick

1	2 1st (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Bumpy Johnson		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(2) Bumpy Johnson 4.5/1, Fontwell bumper winner who opened his hurdles account following a second breathing op over C&D in February. Decent efforts in defeat at Doncaster and Exeter since, particularly at the latter course where he was just touched off, but more needed if he's to defy this career-high mark. Won over C&D in February and went very close at Exeter recently; solid claims.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 +67%) Stans The Man		3 3/1(+67%)																															(6) Stans The Man 3/1, Bumper winner on yard debut in October and got on top close home when opening hurdles account at Fontwell (19f, soft) in January. Well beaten on handicap bow at Sandown since but that was a much hotter race than this and returning to a left-handed track will probably be in his favour here. Well beaten on handicap debut but heavy ground may have been too much; retains potential.
3	9 3rd (9) (4/1 +0%) Big Ambitions		4 4/1(+0%)																															(9) Big Ambitions 4/1, Brother to smart hurdler/chaser Death Duty. Encouraging start over hurdles when second in 17-runner Wetherby novice (2m, soft) last month and while he was beaten a fair way when third upped to 19.5f at Lingfield next time, improvement may well be forthcoming now pitched into a handicap. Very lightly raced 5yo who is open to improvement on handicap debut.
4	8 4th (8) (8.5/1 -31%) Republican		8.5 8.5/1(-31%)																															(8) Republican 8.5/1, Snapped a long losing run when edging home in front in a 4-runner Hereford handicap (19.7f, good) in February. Wasn't in the same form on soft ground at Southwell next time but would have an each-way chance granted quicker conditions here. Won at Hereford in February but it was a weak race; soundly beaten 4th at Southwell since.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 -14%) Mr Muldoon		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Mr Muldoon 16/1, Left tame reappearance well behind when landing a 19.5f handicap hurdle at Chepstow in January. However, his profile during the last couple of years has become increasingly patchy and he was never in the hunt back in this sphere at Haydock last time. Started the year in good form but he's failed to fire the last twice.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 +36%) Val Dancer		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Val Dancer 9/1, Runner-up in a bumper and made second hurdles start a winning one at Bangor (19.6f. heavy) in November. No real impact in 3 subsequent starts, though, and while his heavy handicap debut defeat at Plumpton can probably be attributed to the step up to 25f, he now needs to get back on track. 3m1f may have stretched him on handicap debut but he still has something to prove.
7th	1 7th (1) (28/1 -100%) Message Personnel		28 28/1(-100%)																															(1) Message Personnel 28/1, Hurdles winner in France and runner-up twice from 3 starts on these shores last term. Absent since poor reappearance/handicap bow at Uttoxeter on New Year's Eve (that was his first run following a wind op and since undergone another) but that was surely too bad to be true. Cheekpieces applied. Pulled up in sole handicap but has had another wind op since and is in top hands.
8th	5 8th (5) (4/1 +27%) King Of Brazil		4 4/1(+27%)																															(5) King Of Brazil 4/1, Modest form in bumpers but much better signs over hurdles, confirming debut promise when landing 2m novice at Warwick last month. Didn't do a great deal wrong when third of 12 under a penalty upped to 20.5f at Newbury since and may have more to offer now handicapping. Warwick novice winner; begins handicap life on fair mark and could have more to offer.
9th	4 9th (4) (18/1 -50%) No No Tonic		18 18/1(-50%)																															(4) No No Tonic 18/1, Likeable mare who was in good order during the winter, scoring twice at Wincanton and also runner-up on 2 occasions at Chepstow in February. However, form has taken a turn for the worse recently and she needs to bounce back. In good form in the winter but below best the last twice and a revival is required.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well from this summary as each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that stand out are 4/1 (2) BUMPY JOHNSON, 4/1 (9) BIG AMBITIONS, 4.5/1 (5) KING OF BRAZIL, and 9/1 (6) STANS THE MAN. 4/1 (2) BUMPY JOHNSON has solid claims and has performed well in recent races. 4/1 (9) BIG AMBITIONS is lightly raced and is open to improvement on handicap debut. 4.5/1 (5) KING OF BRAZIL has shown improvement over hurdles and could have more to offer in handicaps. 9/1 (6) STANS THE MAN has potential and may do better in this race as the heavy ground may have been too much for him in his last race.

BUMPY JOHNSON returned to form when a neck second at Exeter earlier in the month and a 3lb raise from the handicapper may not be enough to prevent David Pipe's inmate from gaining a second success over C&D. Big Ambitions makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair opening mark and he can't be discounted over this slightly stiffer test. King Of Brazil also makes his first foray into this sphere and enters calculations too.

BIG AMBITIONS chased home a decent novice in Etalon on his hurdles debut at Wetherby and again showed promise at Lingfield next time. The 5-y-o appeals as the type to take a step forward now going down the handicap route off what may well turn out to be a handy opening mark. King of Brazil is also unexposed in this sphere and is next on the list ahead of Stans The Man, who will find this more palatable than the valuable Sandown handicap he contested last month.

The very lightly 5yo BIG AMBITIONS (nap) is open to improvement on this handicap debut and he's the pick ahead of Stans The Man.

1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +11%) Kadovar		2 2/1(+11%)																															(2) Kadovar 2/1, Left reappearance well behind when a very good third of 8 in a handicap at Nottingham a fortnight ago. That is just about the best form on offer. 0-5 but good handicap third last time and trainer won this in 2018 and 2019; solid claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -60%) Hey Lyla		4 4/1(-60%)																															(5) Hey Lyla 4/1, Fairly useful filly. 5/1, good third of 7 in nursery at Kempton (7f). Off 139 days. Up in trip and a big player at this level if returning in that form. 0-6 but runner-up three times and entitled to considerable respect on reappearance.
3	3 3rd (3) (8/1 +6%) Merry Minister		8 8/1(+6%)																															(3) Merry Minister 8/1, Churchill gelding. Half-brother to ungenuine 1¼m winner Herodotus and useful winner up to 7f Bell Shot. Dam 1m winner who stayed 10.5f. Half-brother to 2 winners; likely to improve for this debut but no shock if he goes well.
4	1 4th (1) (40/1 -60%) Dotties Star		40 40/1(-60%)																															(1) Dotties Star 40/1, Fair form in a trio of bumpers, third of 9 at Fontwell (13.7f) 21 days ago. Tough ask conceding plenty of weight on Flat debut. Has shown ability in bumpers & is bred for the Flat, but this 4yo is probably best watched.
5th	6 5th (6) (1.38/1 +27%) Jalapa		1.38 1.38/1(+27%)																															(6) Jalapa 1.38/1, Well-bred filly who showed plenty to work on when third of 6 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 10/3) on debut. Off 8 months. Up in trip and sure to improve. Needs to better her sole 2yo run but there's bundles of potential in her pedigree.
6th	7 6th (7) (33/1 +18%) La Espanola		33 33/1(+18%)																															(7) La Espanola 33/1, Showed a bit more than on debut when sixth of 12 in novice event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December. Looks one for handicaps. Better effort last December on her second start but needs another big step forward today.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but 2.25/1 (2) KADOVAR seems to have the best chance based on their recent form and their trainer's success in this race in previous years. 2.5/1 (5) HEY LYLA also has solid claims based on their previous performances and could be a strong contender if they return in good form. 1.88/1 (6) JALAPA and 8.5/1 (3) MERRY MINISTER have potential but may need more experience before they can compete at this level. The other horses are likely to struggle in this race.

Hey Lyla has been knocking on the door on most of her six outings and demands the utmost respect on seasonal reappearance. However, she may be vulnerable to an unexposed rival, though, and the Ralph Beckett-trained JALAPA, who showed glimpses of promise when third on her sole outing at Newmarket in August, gets the vote. The stoutly-bred filly is a half-sister to the same connections' Irish Derby winner, Westover, and may prove capable of shedding her maiden tag. Kadovar could benefit from a drop back in trip after a respectable effort at Nottingham.

JALAPA is from an excellent family and displayed a lot more ability than her debut rating suggests at Newmarket last summer. Sure to do a lot better as a 3-y-o, she's taken to improve past the standard-setting pair Kadovar and Hey Lyla.

Westover's half-sister JALAPA is open to improvement now up in trip on her second start and she earns the vote ahead of Kadovar.

1	2 1st (2) (0.67/1 +0%) Facile Vega		0.67 0.67/1(+0%)																															(2) Facile Vega 0.67/1, Won all 4 starts in bumpers last season, including Champion Bumper, and looked just as special over hurdles when ready winner of Leopardstown Grade 1 over Christmas period. Lost his unbeaten record in tame fashion there next time but proved that running all wrong when runner-up in the Supreme. Fine effort but just beaten by a better horse in the Supreme Novices'; the one to beat.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.33/1 +33%) Il Etait Temps		3.33 3.33/1(+33%)																															(4) Il Etait Temps 3.33/1, Much improved since fitted with a hood, building on his Tramore maiden win when second to Facile Vega at Leopardstown over Christmas. Capitalised on that rival underperforming when resuming winning ways in Grade 1 there next time and far from disgraced when fifth in Supreme since. Respected. Keen and didn't jump well in the Supreme Novices'; better than that and can't ignore.
3	5 3rd (5) (66/1 -32%) No Looking Back		66 66/1(-32%)																															(5) No Looking Back 66/1, Bumper winner who made it 2 from 2 over hurdles in a Grade 2 match at Limerick in December. Confirmed himself a useful novice when runner-up in Grade 3 at Naas but failed to give his running at Aintree subsequently and faces another stiff task. Grade 2 winner was well below form at Aintree last time and has to rebound in a big way.
4	3 4th (3) (28/1 -40%) Found A Fifty		28 28/1(-40%)																															(3) Found A Fifty 28/1, Runner-up in his only bumper and made an impressive start to life over hurdles when making all in 25-runner maiden at Fairyhouse (2m, soft). Improved when narrowly touched off in Naas Grade 2 and travelled well for a long way at Aintree (16.5f) on most recent outing. This requires more, though. Grade 2 runner-up was well below that form at Aintree recently and has to rebound.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 -14%) Diverge		4 4/1(-14%)																															(1) Diverge 4/1, Fairly useful performer on the level in France who left his hurdling debut form well behind when running out an emphatic winner of a 22-runner C&D maiden. Progressed again up in grade in a first-time tongue strap when third in the Supreme at the Cheltenham Festival and may do better still. Just 2.75l behind Facile Vega in the Supreme Novices'; further improvement is likely.

LTO Selection:

---

The horse with the strongest prediction of doing well based on the summary is Won all 4 starts in bumpers last season, including Champion Bumper, and looked just as special over hurdles when ready winner of Leopardstown Grade 1 over Christmas period. This horse has a strong track record and has already shown success in both bumpers and hurdles.

FACILE VEGA should be good enough to end his season on a high, having redeemed his huge reputation when an excellent second in the Supreme Novices Hurdle last month. Some judges questioned his capabilities following a shock defeat at Leopardstown in February but the six-year-old silenced the doubters with a big performance. In fact, only for a mistake at the final flight, he may well have gone much closer. A Grade 1 bumper winner at this meeting last year, he looks the horse to beat. Stablemate Diverge outran odds of 25/1 when keeping on well to take third place in the aforementioned Cheltenham race. Given his lack of hurdling experience, the Chris Jones-owned gelding is entitled to show improvement. Il Etait Temps could only manage fifth in the Supreme Novices but is a real contender on the form of his Dublin Racing Festival win on his penultimate start.

FACILE VEGA proved his Leopardstown running in February all wrong when beaten only by a highly-promising rival in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and sets the standard on that piece of form. Stablemates Diverge and Il Etait Temps can battle it out for the forecast spot.

Though Facile Vega finished ahead of DIVERGE in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle the latter could have more improvement in him

1	6 1st (6) (3/1 +33%) Dog Fox		3 3/1(+33%)																															(6) Dog Fox 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 168 days (gelded in the interim) and significantly up in trip for this handicap debut. Hood on 1st time. Hinted at promise in three runs as a 2yo; can take a step forward in hood on h'cap debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.25/1 +36%) Burnish		2.25 2.25/1(+36%)																															(1) Burnish 2.25/1, Winner at Southwell in February. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago. Headgear now discarded at entirely possible that this step up in trip will prompt some improvement. Not disgraced when 4th at Kempton latest; step up in trip should suit so not discounted.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -25%) Intergalacticat		5 5/1(-25%)																															(2) Intergalacticat 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fifth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 8/1) 66 days ago, needing stiffer test. Gets that here and may well be seen in a better light on this handicap/turf debut. Gelded. Brought along steadily, Lingfield 5th latest; sort to take big step forward on h'cap debut.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +10%) Absolute Queen		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(3) Absolute Queen 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in nursery (18/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f), left poorly placed. Off 128 days and faces a significant step up in trip here in first-time cheekpieces. Beat only one in Wolver h'cap in December; cheekpieces on; she's no forlorn hope.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +0%) Zebra Star		8 8/1(+0%)																															(4) Zebra Star 8/1, First run since leaving George Boughey when a below-par fourth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 13 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run but whether this stiffer test is what she needs remains to be seen. Not disgraced on yard debut when 4th at Nottingham 13 days ago; needs shortlisting.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -233%) Smooth Ryder		10 10/1(-233%)																															(5) Smooth Ryder 10/1, 4/7, third of 4 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 12 days ago. Drop back in trip looks a good move and he has to be taken seriously on the strength of his previous efforts in handicap company. In the frame all 5 AW runs in 2023; he ought to be in the shake-up once more back on turf.

LTO Selection:

---

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as all of the horses have some limitations or uncertainties mentioned. However, 3/1 (5) SMOOTH RYDER stands out as having a strong track record in handicap company and is dropping back in trip, which could be a good move. 3.5/1 (1) BURNISH also has potential with a step up in trip, but there are no clear indications of improvement from recent form. 4/1 (2) INTERGALACTICAT is an unknown in handicap/turf debut but has potential for improvement. 4.5/1 (6) DOG FOX and 5/1 (3) ABSOLUTE QUEEN are both lightly-raced maidens with limited experience, but could surprise with gear changes or step up in trip. 8/1 (4) ZEBRA STAR has potential but is a bit of an unknown in terms of whether this stiffer test will be a good fit.

SMOOTH RYDER's stamina appeared stretched by the 1m5f distance last time at Chelmsford and Charlie Johnston's charge can resume his progression now returned to 1m2f. Burnish has been running with credit over 1m of late and the son of Kingman rates the main threat, with this extra yardage expected to unlock some improvement. Intergalacticat's opening mark looks on the stiff side, but a recent gelding procedure may see him fulfil his potential.

INTERGALACTICAT showed enough in maiden/novice company on the all-weather to suggest that this opening mark will be within reach, particularly now that he is faced with a stiffer test. The fact that his yard has been among the winners of late also augurs well. Smooth Ryder was turned over when odds on at Chelmsford recently but is likely to make a bold bid back down in trip here, while Burnish, who shapes as though this step up in distance could be what he needs, merits respect, too.

James Fanshawe's INTERGALACTICAT appeals as the sort to show a fair bit of improvement now he steps into handicaps so gets the verdict.

1	4 1st (4) (18/1 -100%) Long Symphony		18 18/1(-100%)																															(4) Long Symphony 18/1, Improved in a first-time tongue strap following almost 2 years off when winning bumper at Wetherby in February. Folded tamely on hurdles debut at Newcastle just 3 weeks later, however. Steps up markedly in trip after a breathing operation. 40-1 bumper winner but well beaten on hurdle debut at Newcastle; wind surgery since.
2	6 2nd (6) (2.5/1 +29%) Norton Hill		2.5 2.5/1(+29%)																															(6) Norton Hill 2.5/1, Bumper winner for Jack Barber who had been shaping up well over hurdles but took a crashing fall upped in trip at Fontwell (25.8f) on Boxing Day. Remains with potential if that hasn't left a mark. Has had a breathing operation and sterner headgear tried. Bumper winner who brings respectable handicap form; she's one to consider.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 -57%) James Jet		11 11/1(-57%)																															(3) James Jet 11/1, Another staying chaser in the making who was successful from a couple of subsequent winners when landing an Irish point on debut in November (fetched £45,000 after) and shaped well enough on recent hurdles debut at Ascot. Longer trip here will suit. Improvement needed on second rules start but this point winner has potential.
4	7 4th (7) (4/1 -78%) St Patricks Bridge		4 4/1(-78%)																															(7) St Patricks Bridge 4/1, Showed much more than previously over hurdles when second in 9-runner novice at Taunton (19f, good to soft, 66/1) in December, clear of rest. This longer trip should suit on breeding and he's one to consider. Second to useful rival at Taunton last time when back on better ground; key player.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 -43%) Hill Of Tara		40 40/1(-43%)																															(2) Hill Of Tara 40/1, From a good jumping family but well held in bumper (in December 2021) and 2 races over hurdles. Fair fifth of 17 in sole bumper but well beaten this year on first two hurdle starts.
8	8 |PU| (8) (1.1/1 +51%) Wideeyedandlegless		1.1 1.1/1(+51%)																															(8) Wideeyedandlegless 1.1/1, Comfortably won sole start in Irish points and has shown plenty in maidens/novice over hurdles. Has races in him. Form reads well in this line-up; could be good opportunity to get off the mark under rules.
1	1 |PU| (1) (50/1 -127%) East Bridge		50 50/1(-127%)																															(1) East Bridge 50/1, Cost plenty but easy to back and well held in the Warwick mud on debut in bumper at the turn of the year. Step up in trip will suit now going hurdling. Chaser on looks. Goes up in trip on hurdle debut but was tailed off on sole bumper start at Warwick.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary provided, the horse with the most potential to do well is 2.25/1 (8) WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS. The form of this horse reads well in the line-up, and it has shown plenty in maidens/novice over hurdles. Additionally, it comfortably won its sole start in Irish points, which suggests it has races in it. While it took a crashing fall upped in trip at Fontwell, the horse remains with potential if that hasn't left a mark. With a breathing operation and sterner headgear tried, 2.25/1 (8) WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS is one to consider for this race.

WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS posted creditable efforts in defeat at both Chepstow and Wincanton last month and may have been found a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag under Rules at the fourth time of asking. St Patricks Bridge ran his best race to date when runner-up over 2m3f at Taunton in December and this longer trip of 2m6f could unlock some improvement. Norton Hill was still travelling okay when falling in the back straight at Fontwell on Boxing Day and also warrants consideration now returned to maiden company.

ST PATRICKS BRIDGE ran well at Taunton in December and this longer trip should suit so he gets the vote over Wideeyedandlegless and Norton Hill.

Point winner WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS has shown promise on all three hurdle starts and gets the nod ahead of St Patricks Bridge.

Gelded since last seen. On a handy mark but looks more exposed than most of these rivals.
1	7 1st (7) (4.5/1 +10%) Expressionless		4.5 4.5/1(+10%)																															(7) Expressionless 4.5/1, Career best when making a winning return in 5-runner minor event at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 11/8) 20 days ago, well on top finish. Remains low mileage and every chance of further progress now sent handicapping. Won going away at Nottingham on reappearance; may well improve further.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.88/1 +16%) Alpha Crucis		1.88 1.88/1(+16%)																															(2) Alpha Crucis 1.88/1, Much improved when taking 8-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) on return 8 days ago, staying on well. 6 lb penalty to carry now but looks the one to beat nonetheless. Respected under a penalty for last week's Windsor win; open to further progress.

Visor now added for first time and should give another good account. Record is 0-10; chance partly depends on whether the first-time visor helps.

5th	1 5th (1) (3.5/1 +30%) Serious Look		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(1) Serious Look 3.5/1, Course winner who posted creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on return 20 days ago. Entitled to come on from that. 2yo win came at this venue; interesting back here with reappearance under his belt.
6th	3 6th (3) (20/1 -67%) Rule Of Thumb		20 20/1(-67%)																															(3) Rule Of Thumb 20/1, Failed to trouble the judge in a trio of maidens last term but should do better in handicaps this term, more likely when stepped up in trip. Gelded since last seen. Looks open to improvement now handicapping; note the market signals.
7th	10 7th (10) (5.5/1 +31%) Buy The Dip		5.5 5.5/1(+31%)																															(10) Buy The Dip 5.5/1, Posted fair third of 9 at Lingfield (7f, AW) on handicap debut 27 days ago. Step up in trip should suit and merits consideration. Made an encouraging handicap debut at Lingfield last time; not ruled out.
8th	5 8th (5) (14/1 +0%) Sea Urchin		14 14/1(+0%)																															(5) Sea Urchin 14/1, Fair form in France last year and showed a bit on debut for new yard when sixth of 11 in minor event (100/1) at Southwell (7.1f) earlier this month. Entitled to build on that but others look better treated. Ex-French; sixth in 7f event on British debut; may do better now upped in trip.

LTO Selection:

2.25/1 (2) ALPHA CRUCIS looks like the most likely winner, having won last week and showing further potential for improvement. 9/1 (6) GIFTED ANGEL and 5/1 (7) EXPRESSIONLESS also stand a chance of placing based on recent performances. The rest of the field either lack recent form or have yet to prove themselves in handicaps.

EXPRESSIONLESS hit the line with plenty of conviction when landing the spoils at Nottingham earlier this month. Despite being handed a 5lb rise, the Dylan Cunha-trained three-year-old may continue to improve and is given the vote of confidence. There are plenty of dangers, though, including Alpha Crucis, who stayed on stoutly in attritional conditions to record a first career victory at Windsor last time out, while Ludo's Landing is of interest after a gelding operation.

ALPHA CRUCIS took a big step forward when making a successful handicap bow at Windsor last week and a 6 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Buy The Dip and Serious Look should also go well.

The shortlist is headed by the recent winners ALPHA CRUCIS and Expressionless. Third choice is Serious Look.

11th	14 11th (14) (9/1 +36%) One Last Tango		9 9/1(+36%)																															(14) One Last Tango 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in October. Creditable second of 5 in minor event hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft, evens) 76 days ago, conceding first run. Can go well. Solid runs in defeat last two starts but needs a bit more back from a break.
12th	5 12th (5) (20/1 +29%) Grand Roi		20 20/1(+29%)																															(5) Grand Roi 20/1, Creditable ninth of 26 in Coral Cup (50/1) at Cheltenham (21f, soft) 41 days ago. Down in trip.

Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft, 10/1) 16 days ago, running on. Running with credit over further lately and is a player under a leading amateur.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well from this summary as there are a few with promising potential, such as 5/1 (6) MERLIN GIANT, 6/1 (15) TEKAO, and 6/1 (4) BRAZIL. However, based on recent form, 10/1 (12) TELECON and 16/1 (1) FILS D'OUDAIRIES may be worth considering as they have both had career-best wins in their last outings. Ultimately, it will depend on how each horse performs on the day and how they handle the conditions.

TEKAO holds leading claims off a mark of 130 on just his second run in a handicap. The Willie Mullins-trained four-year-old was sent off favourite for the Boodles Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival but in truth, his chance had gone before the tapes went up. A buzzy sort, he suffered more than most from the false starts that plagued that particular race. Too keen in the initial stages, he never ran his race and is better than the bare form. Man O Work failed to complete on his last two starts but deserves consideration on his promising fourth placing at Fairyhouse in December. A strong traveller, he should enjoy the likely fast pace. Tax For Max was third in this contest last year and connections have probably had a repeat bid as a long-term target. He hinted at a revival when a close-up fifth at Fairyhouse last time.

A red-hot handicap that can go to MERLIN GIANT. He was impressive when scoring at Fairyhouse in December and seems sure to improve further. Fred Winter favourite Tekao never got the chance to show what he's capable of at Cheltenham and could go well. Fils d'Oudairies, Telecon and Brazil are also on the shortlist.

This looks very tricky but a chance is taken on GLAN in the hope that the ground dries out enough for her.

1	5 1st (5) (3.33/1 -11%) Bang On The Bell		3.33 3.33/1(-11%)																															(5) Bang On The Bell 3.33/1, Three wins from 16 runs last year. 4/1, won 5-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago, slowly away. Hasn't made much of an impact in 4 previous starts on turf but his mark reflects that (6 lb lower than for his Wolverhampton win). Won at Wolverhampton latest; 6lb lower but best form has been shown on the AW.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -100%) Han Solo Berger		4 4/1(-100%)																															(4) Han Solo Berger 4/1, C&D winner. Won 10-runner handicap at Southwell (5f, 8/1) 19 days ago. Remains on a handy mark up 4 lb and another bold show anticipated. Won 5f Southwell h'cap latest; this C&D winner needs considering despite going up 4lb.
3	6 3rd (6) (1.88/1 +53%) Gustav Graves		1.88 1.88/1(+53%)																															(6) Gustav Graves 1.88/1, 11/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago, not clear run. Good second at Doncaster on penultimate start and he has to enter calculations. Not clear run when Wolver 4th a fortnight ago; ought to be in the shake-up again.
4	3 4th (3) (3.33/1 +26%) Trois Vallees		3.33 3.33/1(+26%)																															(3) Trois Vallees 3.33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f), badly hampered. Off 6 months and down in trip on debut for new yard. Her mark appears to be a workable one and she's not discounted. Consistent for James Tate in 2022; no forlorn hope on her seasonal return/yard debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 +0%) Media Guest		8 8/1(+0%)																															(2) Media Guest 8/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy) 8 days ago. Hopes pinned on the first-time visor sparking a revival. Course scorer but it's now 13 outings since that victory; others are preferred.

Based on the summary, 2/1 (4) HAN SOLO BERGER and 3/1 (5) BANG ON THE BELL seem to have the best recent form and are favorites for the race. 4/1 (6) GUSTAV GRAVES and 4.5/1 (3) TROIS VALLEES could also be contenders based on their recent performances. 8.5/1 (2) MEDIA GUEST may be a long shot based on their lack of recent success.

Bang On The Bell landed a similar event at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and races off a 6lb lower mark now back on turf. However, he is 0-4 on grass and preference is for fellow last-time-out winner HAN SOLO BERGER. The eight-year-old has proven himself on softer conditions and also won over C&D off 3lb higher in June last year, which suggests he is well treated today. Trois Vallees is an interesting contender making her first start for the Charlie Fellowes yard.

HAN SOLO BERGER isn't the easiest to predict but he looked on good terms with himself when making a winning reappearance at Southwell earlier this month. The 8-y-o remains 3 lb below the mark off which he scored over this C&D last summer and earns the vote ahead of Gustav Graves. If recent all-weather winner Bang On The Bell is able to continue the good work back on turf he should also be in the shake-up.

ang On The Bell has a bit to prove back on turf so preference is for HAN SOLO BERGER who has no question mark on that front.

1	7 1st (7) (5/1 +9%) Abaya Du Mathan		5 5/1(+9%)																															(7) Abaya Du Mathan 5/1, Kept busy and on a long losing run but found only one too good for second successive start at Chepstow (19.5f) 10 days ago. Eased further 1 lb since and another entitled to be in the mix in his present groove. Now 16lb lower than when winning this contest 12 months ago; seemingly in decline..
2	8 2nd (8) (22/1 +33%) Beannaigh Do		22 22/1(+33%)																															(8) Beannaigh Do 22/1, Made frame sole start in Irish points but no impact over hurdles, again well held from basement mark at Hereford (16.2f) 19 days ago. Marked improvement required if he's to figure now sent chasing. Nothing remotely positive in bumpers or hurdles (0-7); 3lb 'wrong' for chase debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (2.75/1 -46%) Bolsover Bill		2.75 2.75/1(-46%)																															(1) Bolsover Bill 2.75/1, In fine form with the tongue tie refitted, gaining a fourth success over fences at Plumpton (19.7f) 6 weeks ago. Up 5 lb/had wind op since but he's a player once more. Wind surgery since scoring at Plumpton (5lb lower mark) six weeks ago; 3-6 for Dylan Kitts.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +0%) Natty Night		4 4/1(+0%)																															(3) Natty Night 4/1, Dual Flat/maiden hurdle winner and best effort yet over fences when 8 lengths second at Hereford (20.8f) 32 days ago. Remains early days in this sphere and not out of things with a repeat. Runner-up at Hereford (2m5f) last month; still unexposed as a chaser; worth considering..
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 +40%) Ring The Moon		6 6/1(+40%)																															(4) Ring The Moon 6/1, Fifth career success when taking a Chepstow handicap hurdle (2m) on penultimate start in March and similar form when third in a Stratford seller (18.6f) 24 days ago. Has better form to his name as a chaser and 4 lb below last winning mark in this sphere. 33-1 winner two starts ago; beaten in seller since & switches back to fences; risky enough.
5	5 |U| (5) (4.5/1 +68%) Higgs		4.5 4.5/1(+68%)																															(5) Higgs 4.5/1, Dual hurdles winner back in 2018 who wasn't disgraced when runner-up over further here in March but lines up having been pulled up at Hereford (20.8f) 19 days ago. Bounce back called for. Runner-up here (2m5f; 5lb higher) last month; less productive since; questions to answer..
9	9 |U| (9) (40/1 -21%) Gala Des Lys		40 40/1(-21%)																															(9) Gala Des Lys 40/1, Modest in bumpers/little form over hurdles and little to shout about in 2 tries over fences so far this spring. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Maiden; poor form over hurdles & fences; hard to consider; 6lb 'wrong'..
6	6 |PU| (6) (8/1 +43%) Fanfan La Colmine		8 8/1(+43%)																															(6) Fanfan La Colmine 8/1, Modest over hurdles for Chris Down and given a considerate return from 2 years off when distant third on yard/chase debut at Exeter (19.2f) 14 days ago. This should reveal more. Maiden (0-10); remote third on Exeter stable/chase debut (2m3f) a fortnight ago; 4lb lower.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform well. However, 1.88/1 (1) BOLSOVER BILL and 3.5/1 (2) HAVEANOTHERGOFLO seem to have positive recent form and may be worth considering. 4/1 (3) NATTY NIGHT and 10/1 (4) RING THE MOON also have potential as they are relatively unexposed as chasers. 14/1 (5) HIGGS, 14/1 (6) FANFAN LA COLMINE, Beannaigh, and 33/1 (9) GALA DES LYS have either had recent setbacks or lack form, making them less attractive options.

Bolsover Bill recorded a fourth success over fences when winning a small-field affair at Plumpton last month, but a career-best performance will be required today having gone up 5lb in the ratings for that victory. The son of Getaway still demands respect, but a chance is taken on the lightly-raced HAVEANOTHERGOFLO, who makes both his chase and handicap debut on this rare visit to Ffos Las by the Donald McCain team. Abaya Du Mathan arrives in good heart and the veteran is likely to be in mix once more too.

A winner of his only start in points, HAVEANOTHERGOFLO has shown fair form on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles and, making a quick switch to chasing/now handicapping, he's an intriguing runner with his yard boasting a solid record with it's runners here. The likeable Bolsover Bill rates a lead threat, with Natty Night another fancied to be in the mix.

The long-distance traveller and chasing debutant HAVEANOTHERGOFLO is narrowly preferred to the Plumpton scorer Bolsover Bill.

1	3 1st (3) (0.29/1 +19%) Energumene		0.29 0.29/1(+19%)																															(3) Energumene 0.29/1, Top-class chaser who wasted no time getting back to form and enhanced his fine strike rate with a dominant display in last month's Queen Mother Champion Chase, quickening clear entering straight and impressive. Very much the one to beat again. Last year's winner the undisputed champion 2m chaser and the one they all have to beat.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 +39%) Chacun Pour Soi		20 20/1(+39%)																															(2) Chacun Pour Soi 20/1, Top-class chaser in his pomp (won this 2 years ago) and finished runner-up behind Energumene 12 months ago. Hasn't looked the force of old in handful of starts so far this campaign however, and likely set for another struggle here. 2021 winner but age clearly catching up with him and hard to fancy.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 +0%) Blue Lord		10 10/1(+0%)																															(1) Blue Lord 10/1, Has made up into a top-class chaser, adding another Grade 1 victory to his tally at Leopardstown over Christmas. No match for stablemate Gentleman De Mee back at that venue in February and gave impression his stamina run dry late on in last month's Ryanair at Cheltenham. Back down in trip. Disappointed twice since Leopardstown Christmas win; likely strong pace here will suit.
4	4 4th (4) (6.5/1 -30%) Gentleman De Mee		6.5 6.5/1(-30%)																															(4) Gentleman De Mee 6.5/1, Beat Edwardstone when winning an Aintree Grade 1 last spring and having failed to fire on his first 3 starts this season, got back on track in no uncertain terms when taking care of hot favourite Blue Lord in the Dublin Chase at Leopardstown in February. Sound claims of making the frame. Impressed at Leopardstown; similar conditions likely here so could go well.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 +0%) Magic Daze		28 28/1(+0%)																															(6) Magic Daze 28/1, Showed a really good attitude when gaining third chase success at Naas (2m, listed) in February. Probably best not judged too harshly on her refusal to race in Mares' Chase at Cheltenham latest but she's set for a struggle in this field in any case. Mare faces by far her stiffest task to-date and unlikely to get her own way in front.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 0.36/1 (3) ENERGUMENE seems to be the favorite and the one to beat as last year's winner and undisputed champion. Top-class chaser 5/1 (4) GENTLEMAN DE MEE also has sound claims of making the frame, while 10/1 (1) BLUE LORD may struggle to keep up with the likely strong pace. 28/1 (6) MAGIC DAZE faces a stiff task and is unlikely to do well, while 33/1 (2) CHACUN POUR SOI's age seems to be catching up with him. 66/1 (5) REBEL GOLD may struggle now that he's facing Grade 1 company.

ENERGUMENE can repeat last year's win in this contest, having also won the Queen Mother Champion Chase on his previous start. If anything, the Tony Bloom-owned gelding was even more impressive at the festival this time round, travelling strongly throughout before easily disposing of his rivals. Granted a clear round, it is difficult to see the nine-year-old getting beat. Stablemate Gentleman De Mee could be the one to lay down the biggest threat. An all-the-way winner at Aintree last April, he was hugely impressive at the Dublin Racing Festival in February but was a late absentee from Cheltenham. When on song, he is one of the best two-mile chasers in training. Blue Lord can complete a clean sweep for trainer Willie Mullins by taking the third spot.

ENERGUMENE confirmed himself back at the very top of his game when running out an authoritative winner of the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago and a repeat can see him follow up his win in this corresponding race 12 months ago. Gentleman de Mee, who defeated Blue Lord at Leopardstown in February, can confirm those placings and emerge as the lead threat.

A good-class renewal in which there should be plenty of pace on and last year's winner ENERGUMENE can't be opposed

1	1 1st (1) (8/1 -60%) Munificent		8 8/1(-60%)																															(1) Munificent 8/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Bit below form third of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 45 days ago. Can make presence felt. Reliable type on the AW; he's only twice raced on turf but can't be ruled out eased 1lb.
2	6 2nd (6) (5.5/1 +50%) Enchanted Night		5.5 5.5/1(+50%)																															(6) Enchanted Night 5.5/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at this course (6f, heavy) 10 days ago, no extra final 1f having taken a very keen hold early on. Longstanding maiden; one of her better efforts when fourth of 11 over 6f here 10 days ago.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 +0%) Autumn Flight		9 9/1(+0%)																															(2) Autumn Flight 9/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. Last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 12/1) 14 days ago, making little impression. Bounce back not ruled out returned to turf. Ended long losing sequence at Lingfield in March but he's failed to back it up twice since.
4	5 4th (5) (2.12/1 +47%) Mr Fayez		2.12 2.12/1(+47%)																															(5) Mr Fayez 2.12/1, 40/1, creditable 2 lengths fourth of 12 to Autumn Flight in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 25 days ago, staying on final 1f. Remains a maiden but not out of things from this basement mark back on turf. Remains winless but good fourth at Lingfield 25 days ago; he's one for the shortlist.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 -80%) Jenever		4.5 4.5/1(-80%)																															(3) Jenever 4.5/1, Winner at Southwell (6f) in February. Creditable second of 12 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f) 19 days ago, keeping on final 1f. Has good chance on form. Won at Southwell and posted a good 2nd there latest, especially as raced wide; big shout.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/1 -83%) The Tron		11 11/1(-83%)																															(4) The Tron 11/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap back there (5f, 8/1) 19 days ago, never nearer. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won at Southwell in February and another solid 4th there 19 days ago; considered.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -317%) Espiritu Moreno		50 50/1(-317%)																															(7) Espiritu Moreno 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 300/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Southwell (5f) 49 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Has offered little on all his three runs; has lots to find now going into handicaps.
8th	8 8th (8) (5/1 +44%) Good To Go		5 5/1(+44%)																															(8) Good To Go 5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 3 days ago, finishing with running left and unlucky not to finish closer. Still to win but good Nottingham 3rd latest; not discounted with headgear retained.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as it provides limited information about their previous performances and current form. However, 2.5/1 (3) JENEVER and 4/1 (5) MR FAYEZ both have recent creditable performances in handicaps, and 9/1 (8) GOOD TO GO had an unlucky third place finish in their latest race with a new piece of headgear, so they may be worth considering for potential success in their next race. It is also worth monitoring if 9/1 (2) AUTUMN FLIGHT can bounce back after a string of poor performances.

JENEVER (second) finished in front of Autumn Flight (fifth) on his latest outing at Southwell over 6f and although he is 2lb worse off at the weights with that rival today, he's still strongly fancied to confirm that form and win for the first time on turf. The son of Swiss Spirit remains in fine form and, if coping with softer conditions, ought to go close once more. Another to consider is Enchanted Night, who ran well in this grade over 6f at this track last time and goes off the same mark.

JENEVER arrives less exposed than most and, having run well when runner-up at Southwell (6f) on his latest start 3 weeks ago, he could be the answer returned to turf. Good To Go and Munificent are just a couple of others to consider in a tricky finale.

Jessica Macey's JENEVER looks the way to go, given he had to race wide throughout when 2nd at Southwell and can race off the same mark.

First run for yard after leaving David Evans. Cheekpieces on first time and this looks a more sensible trip. 0-22 and makes stable debut after three months off; cheekpieces on.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 -122%) Doonbeg Farmer		40 40/1(-122%)																															(9) Doonbeg Farmer 40/1, Hood on for first time in this code, pulled up in novice hurdle (150/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) on NH debut, pulling hard. Moved yards again. Has lost his way and makes debut for another new yard after 233 days off; tongue-tie on.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 -75%) Tacitus		28 28/1(-75%)																															(2) Tacitus 28/1, 25/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, soft). Off 6 months but has a career-low mark to exploit. Has run well fresh before, but he is inconsistent and is now 0-15.
8th	13 8th (13) (28/1 +30%) Independent Beauty		28 28/1(+30%)																															(13) Independent Beauty 28/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 31 days ago. Fair efforts over C&D the last twice; record of 0-23 suggests others are more likely.
9th	7 9th (7) (4.5/1 +36%) Superstar Dj		4.5 4.5/1(+36%)																															(7) Superstar Dj 4.5/1, Winner at Southwell in October. 13/2, tenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 18 days ago. Shortlist material with drop in trip sure to suit. Twice held since off the mark at Southwell last October, but could bounce back.
10th	4 10th (4) (66/1 -230%) Dutch Admiral		66 66/1(-230%)																															(4) Dutch Admiral 66/1, Cheekpieces on for first time in this code, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 50/1) 12 days ago. That was a bit more like it having been in a slump and a visor is now on. Ran better at Chelmsford last time, but needs more and shorter trip may not suit; visor on.
11th	1 11th (1) (18/1 -140%) Well Prepared		18 18/1(-140%)																															(1) Well Prepared 18/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 5/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 10 days ago. Likely to give it another good shot. Won twice on AW early in year and a close third here last time, but may need further now.
12th	11 12th (11) (9/1 +36%) Dew You Believe		9 9/1(+36%)																															(11) Dew You Believe 9/1, C&D winner. 4¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Caracristi in handicap (9/1) at this course (9.5f) 46 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Dual C&D winner and just beaten over 9.5f back here in February, but is inconsistent.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary, 4/1 (8) NON MOLLARE and 6/1 (6) INEXPLICABLE Six are likely to do well as they have recent wins and good performances in their last races. 7.5/1 (1) WELL PREPARED and 7.5/1 (5) CARACRISTI are also strong contenders, while 14/1 (10) STORM ASSET and 40/1 (13) INDEPENDENT BEAUTY may struggle given their recent performances and overall record.

Well Prepared has to be respected off the same mark as when beaten under a length at this track last time and the six-year-old is likely to be thereabouts once more. However, a chance can be taken on INEXPLICABLE, as he ran well into third over C&D on his penultimate start and is fancied to show that level of form to go close off the same rating. Caracristi completes the shortlist.

The return to the AW coupled with this slight drop back in trip looks ideal for SUPERSTAR DJ, so he's selected to double his career tally. Non Mollare and Well Prepared are solid opponents.

Preference is for NON MOLLARE who won well over C&D last month and was a close third in a similar contest at Southwell last time.

LTO Selection:

---

2.5/1 (16) SPECULATRIX and 3.33/1 (9) PREDATORS GOLD are the most likely to perform well, based on their previous performances and strong pedigrees. However, other runners like 5.5/1 (4) FARLAND, 7/1 (13) TACTICAL AFFAIR, and 16/1 (15) ARUNTOTHEQUEEN also have promising profiles and could potentially surprise. The market will likely provide more insight into the chances of each horse.

Under the conditions of this race, SPECULATRIX escapes a penalty for her course-and-distance debut win earlier this year. On that occasion, the Gordon Elliott-trained filly led over a furlong out and kept on strongly to repel all challengers. With that initial experience a big factor against a field made up largely of racecourse debutants, she sets a high standard. Predators Gold is an obvious danger representing Willie and Patrick Mullins. Anything the champion trainer runs at this meeting commands respect but his record in bumpers is second to none. Derek O'Connor is a significant booking on Farland for Sean Doyle. A half-brother to a Grade 1 winner over hurdles, he is out of a dam who also won at Graded level over both hurdles and fences.

Gordon Elliott saddles 6 and unless the market suggests one of his newcomers is very useful, SPECULATRIX is the percentage call following a taking winning debut here in February. Predators Gold and Tactical Affair are probably the pick of the debutants.

A token vote goes to ARUNTOTHEQUEEN, whose dam won a bumper here and comes from the in-form Harrington yard

Off 173 days. Makes tapeta debut. Something to find on form. Down the field in sole 2yo handicap and improvement needed on reappearance.

Step back up in trip a plus, though, and not ruled out. Could appreciate this step back up in trip but claims aren't compelling on recent evidence.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 -100%) Eight Mile		4.5 4.5/1(-100%)																															(2) Eight Mile 4.5/1, Off the mark at Lingfield (8f) last month and backed that up with good third of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 13/2) 18 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Likely contender. In good form over 1m the last twice; drops back in trip here but has a progressive profile.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 +58%) Beautiful Star		5 5/1(+58%)																															(5) Beautiful Star 5/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 18/1) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Needs a couple of these to falter. Below par the last twice and now 0-10 but mark has fallen and stable is in fine form.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 -43%) Bridge Water		10 10/1(-43%)																															(6) Bridge Water 10/1, 14/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Encouraging 3rd at Kempton in February and soft ground may not have suited a fortnight ago.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (1) AIHAWAWI and 2.25/1 (2) EIGHT MILE seem to be the most likely contenders, with 1.88/1 (1) AIHAWAWI setting the standard and 2.25/1 (2) EIGHT MILE having a progressive profile and good recent form. 9/1 (3) VICTORY HOUSE and 12/1 (5) BEAUTIFUL STAR may have an outside chance if they can improve from their recent performances. 5.5/1 (4) CHALK MOUNTAIN and 7/1 (6) BRIDGE WATER seem to have something to find on form.

AIHAWAWI was just touched off on his return to action at Newcastle last time and a repeat of that display would give him a leading chance to gain a first career success. The son of Ribchester looks the only likely pace angle in the race and that could prove to be significant. The main threat comes from Eight Mile, who has run with great consistency this year and can remain competitive, while Beautiful Star could benefit from dropping back in distance.

AIHAWAWI upped his game when runner-up at Newcastle earlier this month and is taken to go one better here. Eight Mile arrives in good form and is the obvious danger.

Having shown improved form when runner-up at Newcastle on his recent reappearance, AIHAWAWI is taken to go one better.

1	3 1st (3) (7/1 +30%) Feronily		7 7/1(+30%)																															(3) Feronily 7/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who got off the mark over hurdles at Limerick (19f) in March and improved further when second on chase debut at Cork (3m) 16 days ago, having no issues with the longer trip. Open to improvement but this understandably demands more. Fine recent chase debut for one so inexperienced; trip/ground to suit so respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Appreciate It		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(1) Appreciate It 3.5/1, High-class hurdler (landed 2021 Supreme) and solid start over fences when landing maiden/novice events around the turn of the year. Ran to a similar level in hitting the frame in trio of Grade 1's since, hanging left when third at Fairyhouse (Sir Gerhard second) 16 days ago. In the mix upped to 3m. Impressive chasing start has stuttered of late; tongue tie tried and first attempt at 3m.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -20%) James Du Berlais		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) James Du Berlais 12/1, Smart over hurdles and ran to a similar level when off the mark in a Fairyhouse maiden chase (21f) on New Year's Day. Has seemingly had his limitations exposed at this level in trio of subsequent starts, however. Well held all three attempts in Graded company; another stiff task awaits here.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 -29%) Classic Getaway		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(2) Classic Getaway 4.5/1, Useful hurdler who took his form to a new level when getting off the mark at the first attempt over fences at Gowran (20f) back in November, jumping on last and driven out. Bred to stay 3m and of interest with further progress likely returning from 5 months off. Gowran maiden winner in November should relish this stamina test; respected.
5	5 |F| (5) (2.25/1 +25%) Journey With Me		2.25 2.25/1(+25%)																															(5) Journey With Me 2.25/1, Bumper/dual hurdles winner and bright start over fences, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts at Naas (20f) in March. The manner of that victory suggests he's well worth his place at this higher level and he's a player with prospect of more to come. Jumping still novicey and unproven over this far but progressing nicely.
6	6 |PU| (6) (3.5/1 +0%) Sir Gerhard		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(6) Sir Gerhard 3.5/1, Leading novice hurdler of 2021/22 campaign who got off the mark on chase debut (despite some mixed jumping) at Gowran (2m) in January. Inexperience a factor in Grade 1 at Cheltenham next time but back on track when second at Fairyhouse (19.7f) 16 days ago. In the mix back at 3m. Fairyhouse 2nd an improvement but didn't exactly look to be crying out for a return to 3m.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary provided, the horse that is most likely to do well is 3.5/1 (1) APPRECIATE IT. Despite a recent stutter in performance, the horse has a solid track record both in high-class hurdling and in impressive starts over fences. Additionally, the horse has been trying out new techniques such as a tongue tie and an attempt at 3m, which suggests a potential for further improvement. However, 3.5/1 (2) CLASSIC GETAWAY may also be a contender given its stamina and breeding, as well as its past success in maiden events.

JOURNEY WITH ME arrives here fresher than most, having skipped the earlier spring festivals. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding easily landed a Grade 3 Chase at Naas last month, having finished a close-up second to a subsequent Cheltenham winner on his previous outing. Stepping up to 3m for the first time over fences is also a positive factor for the Robcour-owned seven-year-old. While Classic Getaway doesn't appear to be the Willie Mullins first string on paper, the Cheveley Park-owned gelding very much catches the eye. A former point-to-point winner, he was an impressive winner on his chasing debut at Gowran in November and has proven that he runs well fresh. Sir Gerhard is arguably the class act in the line-up so is a real threat if over his Fairyhouse run.

This has a wide-open feel but JOURNEY WITH ME shaped like a horse well worth his place at Grade 1 level when successful at Naas in March and, returned to this longer trip, he could well be worth siding with to come out on top. Sir Gerhard, on the back of his second at Fairyhouse 16 days ago, and low-mileage Classic Getaway

Wide open but the lightly-raced CLASSIC GETAWAY could have most improvement in him now upped in trip

Well worth a try at this longer trip and holds strong claims. Placed in her last two starts as a 2yo and should get the longer trip; very much a player.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.38/1 -15%) Polar Princess		1.38 1.38/1(-15%)																															(4) Polar Princess 1.38/1, Posted promising fourth of 6 in minor event at Kempton (11f, 10/1) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away.

Up against it. Beaten a long way in four bumpers last year and on stable debut over C&D 15 days ago.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 -191%) Stepmother		16 16/1(-191%)																															(2) Stepmother 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, third of 12 in minor event at Kempton (12f). Off 10 months. Improvement required on debut for new yard. Ran well on her second start and makes her stable debut after ten months off.

LTO Selection:

---

1.25/1 (3) GOOD MORALS is likely to do well as she has placed in her last two starts and has performed consistently in all three starts to date. She also holds strong claims and should do well over the longer trip.

POLAR PRINCESS kept on well to finish fourth on debut at Kempton and the daughter of Ulysses is open to a fair amount of improvement, with the extra furlong potentially aiding her cause. Good Morals showed up well on a couple of occasions as a juvenile, most notably when a head second at Newcastle in October, and she could have a say taking a big step up in trip. Stepmother can get the better of She's Out Of Reach in the battle for third.

This can go to POLAR PRINCESS, who offered plenty to work on from her Kempton debut earlier this month. Good Morals is the obvious danger.

Preference is for GOOD MORALS who showed ability in her final two starts last year and may have more to offer over middle distances.

Pulled-up over C&D on debut for this yard in February; won a point' since; a lot to find.
7th	7 7th (7) (7/1 -27%) Old Style Humor		7 7/1(-27%)																															(7) Old Style Humor 7/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Aizavoski gelding. Dam, point winner, sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Preists Leap. Wears cheekpieces. Multiple winning pointer, third last time. Beaten 75l in a winners' of three race latest and cheekpieces need to galvanise him.
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 -203%) Bonny Dazzler		100 100/1(-203%)																															(10) Bonny Dazzler 100/1, First run since leaving D. Berra when pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Thurles (23.9f, good to soft) on IRE NH debut, pulled up before 2 out. Maiden pointer, unseated rider last time (Apr 16). Beaten a long way by Vital Island in a banks point' in March and is difficult to fancy.
9	9 |U| (9) (11/1 +21%) War Call		11 11/1(+21%)																															(9) War Call 11/1, Modest hurdler. 8/1 and hooded for 1st time, pulled up in hunter chase at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 98 days ago, tailing off home turn. Up in trip but looks up against it. Pulled-up twice and fell in his three chase starts under rules and has to find improvement.
6	6 |U| (6) (33/1 +0%) Lesssaidthebetter		33 33/1(+0%)																															(6) Lesssaidthebetter 33/1, Poor hurdler. Remains a maiden after 27 NH runs. 16/1, pulled up in hunter chase at Thurles (25.4f, soft) 43 days ago, weakening from 5 out, jumping none too fluently. Maiden point' winner in February is 0-27 under rules and has a lot to find.
3	3 |U| (3) (50/1 -25%) Ballyday Star		50 50/1(-25%)																															(3) Ballyday Star 50/1, Arcadio gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 33f) Special Portrait. Unplaced completed starts in points, fifth of 6 finishers last time (Mar 5). Struggling to win a maiden point' and is out of his depth here.
11	11 |PU| (11) (66/1 -100%) Lavinia Fontana		66 66/1(-100%)																															(11) Lavinia Fontana 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Bit below form eighth of 14 in hunter chase at Cork (24f, soft, 20/1) 15 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Winning pointer but this looks too tough. Has been well-held in hunter chases under rules and is difficult to fancy.

Based on the summary provided, it seems that 1.2/1 (2) VITAL ISLAND has the best chance of doing well as it won this race last year and has been performing well in recent open points' at banks courses. Additionally, it had a very good fifth-place finish in a minor event chase at this course in November, which is the best form on offer. The other horses either have modest or poor form or are out of their depth in this race.

Last year's winner VITAL ISLAND can make it back-to-back wins in this contest. The 11-year-old arrives here in excellent form having won his last two starts in point-to-points. With a handicap mark of 122 over regulation fences, he is arguably the best horse in this race, before even taking his prowess for the banks course into consideration. War Call didn't set the world alight during his time with Dan Skelton but has won twice between the flags since joining Sam Curling. This represents a more realistic assignment for the Martaline gelding. Jet Fighter disappointed on his debut for Peter Maher at this venue in February but redeemed himself somewhat when winning a point-to-point last time. His trainer is well able to prepare a horse for these banks races.

Having won this race last year, VITAL ISLAND ran a cracker when fifth in a better race over the banks in November and a brace of point wins of late should have him spot on for a follow up. De Nordener was well behind the selection in the 2022 renewal but he's in top hands and won't lack for assistance form the saddle, with Jet Fighter another to consider.

Not much strength in depth to this and VITAL ISLAND(nap) is taken to repeat last year's win.

Stepped up on debut when just under 6 lengths third of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) in December. Likely capable of better again. Improved to finish third at Kempton in December; worth a second look.

First run since leaving Ger Lyons when below form sixth of 10 in maiden (28/1) at Chelmsford (7f) in January. Will need to leave that effort behind.

Fifth of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut in September. Subsequently gelded. Capable of better and leading claims.

5th	9 5th (9) (125/1 -594%) Pedrar		125 125/1(-594%)																															(9) Pedrar 125/1, Modest form in 3 French claimers last summer, finishing runner-up in blinkers (off now) on the third occasion.

6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +52%) Moonfleet Moment		16 16/1(+52%)																															(4) Moonfleet Moment 16/1, Down the field in 2 C&D maidens last November. Possibly more one for handicaps after this. Eighth in both starts over C&D last November; looks one for handicaps after this.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 -208%) Pearly Star		20 20/1(-208%)																															(8) Pearly Star 20/1, 7/1, offered something to work on when sixth of 9 in maiden over C&D on debut 20 days ago, running green. Should improve. Showed ability when sixth on her debut over C&D this month; drawn wide.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -100%) Arawan		50 50/1(-100%)																															(1) Arawan 50/1, 21,000 gns Starspangledbanner gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Shadn out of smart winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner) Amethyst. Betting should help guide to expectations. Something to like on pedigree, but stable not renowned for winning newcomers.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 +20%) Blissfilly		40 40/1(+20%)																															(7) Blissfilly 40/1, Dandy Man filly. Dam 7f winner. One of 2 newcomers from his stable. Bred to handle the surface, but would be a rare winning newcomer from the stable.

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone, as all of the horses have shown some level of ability or potential. However, 1.5/1 (2) BALLYMORE VISION and 7/1 (6) WALL GAME both have promising previous starts and are seen as capable of improvement, making them potential contenders. 6/1 (8) PEARLY STAR also showed some ability in her debut and may improve. Betting and market trends could help guide expectations for 14/1 (1) ARAWAN and 50/1 (7) BLISSFILLY.

BALLYMORE VISION shaped with plenty of promise when fifth on his sole outing at Newmarket in September. Richard Hannon's charge, who has been gelded since that effort, cost 120,000gns as a yearling and gets the nod on his seasonal reappearance. If he fails to fire, the most experienced runner in the contest, Valkyrian, may be able to pick up the pieces. Eden Storm gave a good account when fifth at Southwell earlier this month and is another to consider.

BALLYMORE VISION made an encouraging start to his career at Newmarket last autumn and might have struck upon a weakish race on his return to action. Wall Game, Nine Six Five and Pearly Star have the potential for better and can fight it out for minor honours.

Preference is for BALLYMORE VISION who showed ability on his Newmarket debut last autumn and is a half-brother to two AW winners.

Fifth of 12 in bumper (80/1) at Naas (15.6f, good to soft) on NH debut 73 days ago. Respectable bumper debut at Naas without really threatening; should improve.

Beaten 20 lengths when third at Gowran (16f, heavy, 4/5) 89 days ago but had shaped with promise when runner-up on debut at Naas prior to that. Player on the debut form.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary. However, some horses that stand out are 3.5/1 (4) DOWNMEXICOWAY, Belharbour, 9/1 (20) RAINBOW LILY, and 12/1 (2) ANKUD. 3.5/1 (4) DOWNMEXICOWAY has had a successful sole start in points and has an eyecatching jockey booking for his Rules debut. Belharbour has a strong pedigree and comes from a top yard. 9/1 (20) RAINBOW LILY is the Elliott pick with Jamie Codd on and has a pedigree that suggests she will do well. 12/1 (2) ANKUD has shown promise in his two maiden races and could perform well on better ground. Ultimately, the betting will guide on many of these horses' debut performances.

DOLLAR NOLIMIT made a highly encouraging racecourse debut when a close-up third behind Speculatrix over course and distance in February. It will be interesting to see how the winner of that race runs in the 6.00 here. Downmexicoway was an impressive winner of his only point-to-point start and that form has been advertised by the third horse since. Peter Fahey is always a trainer to respect at these festival meetings. Tom Pepper is a rare National Hunt runner for leading Flat trainer Kevin Prendergast. A well-bred son of Morpheus, he is related to a number of winners under both codes. Ninth Loch has to be respected as the sole Willie Mullins-trained representative in this finale.

The suggestion is Willie Mullins newcomer NINTH LOCH, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Dollar Nolimit and Ankud may prove best of those with experience. Rainbow Lily, Reliance Kid and Joyeux Vivo are other newcomers to keep a close eye on in the betting.

A chance is taken on DOWNMEXICOWAY, whose point-to-point win has been franked since and has Derek O'Connor in the saddle

1	8 1st (8) (2.75/1 -46%) Mr Rumbalicious		2.75 2.75/1(-46%)																															(8) Mr Rumbalicious 2.75/1, Found it easier dropped in grade, justifying good support to land 7-runner minor event at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 29 days ago, well positioned in a steadily-run race. Still, he remains unexposed at this sort of trip and claims from such a lowly mark returned to handicaps. Won a Lingfield classified event last time; more needed, but still unexposed over this far.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 +9%) Scarborough Castle		10 10/1(+9%)																															(3) Scarborough Castle 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Southwell (12f) in March. Fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 8/1) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Four wins on Tapeta; up half a mile in trip, but is a half-brother to a 2m winner.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 -40%) Glory And Honour		7 7/1(-40%)																															(1) Glory And Honour 7/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Catterick (12.1f, heavy) 13 days ago, headed under 3f out and no extra. Heavy ground again possibly against him then and better showing not ruled out. Recent efforts under both codes leave plenty to be desired; others more solid.
4	10 4th (10) (50/1 +0%) Fleursals		50 50/1(+0%)																															(10) Fleursals 50/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 100/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 25 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Last two efforts have been poor and she is now 0-33; easy enough to swerve.
5th	7 5th (7) (66/1 -65%) Pyrrhic Dancer		66 66/1(-65%)																															(7) Pyrrhic Dancer 66/1, Modest form at best for Richard Hannon, well held last of 10 in handicap at Lingfield when last seen in July. Best watched now starting out for new yard. Tongue tie on 1st time. Regressive for Richard Hannon; stable debut after nine months off; tongue-tie on.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -208%) Ask Peter		20 20/1(-208%)																															(4) Ask Peter 20/1, Lightly-raced 4-y-o who shaped as if the run would bring her on when fourth on return from 9 months off at Chelmsford (14f) 24 days ago, outpaced home turn and plugging on. Mark has eased a little more and this even longer trip is worth exploring. 0-7 but suggested she was worth the step up to this trip last time.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -140%) Huscari		18 18/1(-140%)																															(5) Huscari 18/1, Winner at Lingfield in March. 17/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (2m) 12 days ago, hampered. Makes tapeta debut. Can give another good account. Off the mark at Lingfield last month and fair fourth in a better race last time; respected.
8th	11 8th (11) (25/1 +24%) Toutatis		25 25/1(+24%)																															(11) Toutatis 25/1, 18/1, seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, good to firm) 45 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time returned to the Flat but others boast more compelling claims. 0-17 under both codes and hasn't shown much for some time; blinkers on.
9th	2 9th (2) (3.5/1 +71%) Vienna Girl		3.5 3.5/1(+71%)																															(2) Vienna Girl 3.5/1, Fair bumper winner who has displayed some promise in a trio of AW novice events, staying on gradually for third over 10f at Newcastle in February. Promises to do better now handicapping over this more suitable trip. May appreciate the return to a stiffer test on handicap debut and worth a second look.
10th	6 10th (6) (3.5/1 +22%) Young Endless		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(6) Young Endless 3.5/1, Low-mileage sort who again hinted at ability when sixth in 11-runner maiden at Lingfield (12f) in August. Absent since but switch to handicaps rates a plus and interesting if the market speaks in his favour. Cheekpieces replace visor. Up in trip for handicap debut after 262 days off; brother to 2m AW winner; cheekpieces on.
11th	9 11th (9) (11/1 +39%) The Resdev Way		11 11/1(+39%)																															(9) The Resdev Way 11/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. 9/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (14f) 17 days ago, ridden under 2f out and making no impression. Back up in trip now. Dual course winner well down the weights, but recent efforts have been modest.

LTO Selection:

12/1 (2) VIENNA GIRL and 9/1 (5) HUSCARI are the most likely to do well based on their promising performances in previous events and their favorable conditions for this race. 1.88/1 (8) MR RUMBALICIOUS and 6.5/1 (4) ASK PETER could also be contenders given their recent successes and potential for improvement at this distance. The other horses mentioned have either had inconsistent performances or show little potential to contend in this race.

MR RUMBALICIOUS relished the step up to this distance when recording a first career victory in a classified event at Lingfield last time out. The son of Kodiac returns to handicap company off an unchanged mark and is capable of backing that performance up, with David Probert taking the ride. Huscari was by no means disgraced when fourth at Chelmsford earlier this month and remains of interest, while the handicapper has given a chance to Glory And Honour on his return to the all-weather.

MR RUMBALICIOUS matched his previous best when opening his account in a 7-runner Lingfield minor event 4 weeks ago and, from a basement mark, he looks set to go well again returned to handicaps. Vienna Girl, a fair winner in bumpers, is interesting now upped in trip for her handicap debut, with Young Endless and Scarborough Castle others worth a second look.

It may be worth taking a chance with dual course winner SCARBOROUGH CASTLE who is up in trip, but is a half-brother to a 2m winner.

Has hinted at ability in three starts; no surprise if he shows more now handicapping.

Makes handicap debut for in-form yard and may have more to offer. Won a 7f maiden here last time; return to further shouldn't be an issue on handicap debut.
4	7 4th (7) (3.5/1 +0%) So Chic		3.5 3.5/1(+0%)																															(7) So Chic 3.5/1, Winner here in March. Ninth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago, though denied a clear run. That run can be excused and she remains of interest. Likes it here, but still to prove she wants this far and is relatively exposed.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 +0%) Mahboobah		16 16/1(+0%)																															(1) Mahboobah 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/4, first run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when fourth of 7 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Bred to appreciate this stiffer test on handicap debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Hobson Point		4.5 4.5/1(-13%)																															(5) Hobson Point 4.5/1, Good third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 16/1) 13 days ago. Can make presence felt from same mark. 0-9, but has fared better since stepped up to 1m on Polytrack the last twice.
7th	8 7th (8) (7/1 -8%) Equiami		7 7/1(-8%)																															(8) Equiami 7/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 10/3) 11 days ago. This is a deeper race but he's going the right way. Narrowly off the mark at Southwell last time; shaped as though the stiffer test would suit.
4	4 |PU| (4) (16/1 -33%) Beautiful Eyes		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) Beautiful Eyes 16/1, 10/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Steps up in trip, but there is stamina in her pedigree so a case can be made.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (2) NATIVE BEACH and 6.5/1 (8) EQUIAMI seem to be the strongest contenders. 4.5/1 (2) NATIVE BEACH has won a maiden race last time out and is up in trip for her handicap debut, while 6.5/1 (8) EQUIAMI narrowly won his last race and is going the right way. 4/1 (5) HOBSON POINT and 3.5/1 (7) SO CHIC are also worth considering as they have had good recent performances despite not winning.

NATIVE BEACH showed a willing attitude when gaining a breakthrough win in a maiden contest here earlier in the month and Sir Mark Todd's colt could have more to offer now entering handicaps. Equiami returned to the winner's enclosure for his first time having got up to win at Southwell earlier in the month and he is feared most off only 2lb higher. Hobson Point also looks capable of picking up a race from his current rating and isn't taken lightly.

An open handicap with SO CHIC just about the most compelling option having won here in March and she was moving forward with purpose when denied a clear run at Kempton a fortnight ago. Hobson Point is likely to give it another good go, along with Native Beach.

The choice is EQUIAMI who has improved with each run on the AW. He shaped at Southwell last time as though the stiffer test would suit.

1	12 1st (12) (7/1 +30%) Sympathise		7 7/1(+30%)																															(12) Sympathise 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Paul George when close second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago. Needs to show she can back that up now. Improved plenty when beaten a neck on stable/handicap debut at Lingfield last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -50%) Another Angel		12 12/1(-50%)																															(4) Another Angel 12/1, Won 9-runner C&D handicap 17 days ago under 5 lb claimer Mark Winn. Should remain competitive from his revised mark but the widest stall isn't ideal. Won for the first time over 6f here this month, but 5lb higher and drawn in stall 13.
3	10 3rd (10) (5/1 +29%) Billian		5 5/1(+29%)																															(10) Billian 5/1, Runner-up 3 times this year prior to belatedly gaining a second career success in 9-runner C&D classified event 4 weeks ago. Another to consider. Running well lately including a C&D success last time, but could have been drawn better.
4	5 4th (5) (11/1 -69%) May Remain		11 11/1(-69%)																															(5) May Remain 11/1, On a course hat-trick after wins over this trip and 5f in recent weeks. Much respected in his current mood. Bids for a course hat-trick from a 2lb higher mark; drawn high again.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -13%) Catesby		9 9/1(-13%)																															(3) Catesby 9/1, C&D winner in March. 7/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6f) since. Both wins have come over C&D; not discounted back here down in class.
6th	7 6th (7) (6.5/1 +0%) Fristel		6.5 6.5/1(+0%)																															(7) Fristel 6.5/1, Remains a maiden after 16 starts. Bit below form 3½ lengths fifth of 9 to Another Angel over C&D (9/2) 17 days ago, a slow start not helping. Respectable third at Lingfield prior to that. Could get closer to Another Angel than last time with a cleaner break, but is now 0-16.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -83%) Pandemic Princess		33 33/1(-83%)																															(8) Pandemic Princess 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 66/1) 28 days ago, left poorly placed after another slowish start. Needs to break on terms. Ran better last time and return to this trip should suit; each-way claims down in grade.
8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 +7%) Toplight		7 7/1(+7%)																															(2) Toplight 7/1, Four-time course winner, the latest over 5f in March. 18/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago but respected back here. All wins at 5f and has been unplaced in seven starts at 6f; opposable.
9th	13 9th (13) (22/1 +12%) Arlecchino's Gift		22 22/1(+12%)																															(13) Arlecchino's Gift 22/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 17/2, 5½ lengths fifth of 10 to May Remain in C&D classified event 28 days ago. C&D winner who caught the eye last time, but has been generally regressive.
10th	9 10th (9) (28/1 -75%) Griggy		28 28/1(-75%)																															(9) Griggy 28/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (6f) 41 days ago. Blinkers back on. Dual C&D winner and 1lb below last winning mark; capable of playing a part off this mark.
11th	1 11th (1) (4/1 +11%) Dark Design		4 4/1(+11%)																															(1) Dark Design 4/1, 17/2, shaped better than result when fifth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 25 days ago, doing too much too soon from wide stall. Draw has been kinder this time. Shortlist material. Behind a couple of these at Lingfield last time, but better drawn here; could go well.
12th	6 12th (6) (12/1 +0%) Aikido		12 12/1(+0%)																															(6) Aikido 12/1, Unreliable individual. Back to winning ways at Southwell in March but no surprise that she wasn't in the same form back there since. Ended a losing run at Southwell last month, but never figured there next time.
13th	11 13th (11) (40/1 -43%) Gharbeyih		40 40/1(-43%)																															(11) Gharbeyih 40/1, Well-held fourth of 6 in handicap at this course (7f, 22/1) 15 days ago. Less exposed than most of these rivals but she needs improvement to play a prominent role. Lightly raced 4yo maiden; return to 6f may help, but the draw hasn't been kind.

LTO Selection:

6.5/1 (5) MAY REMAIN appears to be the favorite to do well in this race, with two recent wins on this course and distance and a bid for a possible hat-trick. Other contenders to consider are 7/1 (10) BILLIAN, who has been running well and won a C&D race last time, and 8/1 (3) CATESBY, a C&D winner in March. 8/1 (4) ANOTHER ANGEL, who won on this course and distance last time but is now 5lb higher and drawn in a wide stall, could also remain competitive.

Billian returns to handicap company having won a classified stakes contest over C&D last month and a 1lb nudge in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Preference, however, is for fellow last-time-out winner MAY REMAIN, who completed a brace of consecutive victories at this venue when holding on for victory earlier in the month, and a 2lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable. Sympathise almost caused a shock when runner-up on her stable/handicap debut at Lingfield in March and appears capable of backing that effort up.

DARK DESIGN has fared a lot better with the draw here than he did at Lingfield last time and is selected to resume winning ways. The hat-trick seeking May Remain and last-time-out C&D scorer Billian are also on the shortlist.

This can go to SYMPATHISE (nap) who left her previous form behind when beaten a neck on stable/handicap debut at Lingfield last month.

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.
