It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform best based on this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on the information provided, 2.5/1 (1) GINGER MAIL and 3.5/1 (6) LETTERSTON LADY appear to be serious contenders, with the former having narrowly lost its latest race and the latter bringing unexposed potential to its handicap debut. 4.5/1 (7) CUBAN CIGAR is also a consistent horse and likely to put in a good performance. The other horses have mixed form or need to improve significantly to win.

The addition of cheekpieces could make all the difference to GINGER MAIL, who was just touched off at Ayr last month. The winner boosted that form when subsequently hitting the frame in a stronger race, so Nick Alexander's gelding is taken to go one better. Cuban Cigar struck at Musselburgh on his latest outing and he merits respect from a 4lb higher mark, while previous C&D winner Well Planted can't be ruled out on his first start post wind surgery.

GINGER MAIL has had a solid campaign and he won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces to get his head back in front. The reliable Cuban Cigar bagged a nice prize at Musselburgh last month and is likely to go well again, while Letterston Lady might have needed last month's comeback run at Market Rasen and is an interesting one for handicaps.

Preference is for LETTERSTON LADY on her handicap debut.

6/1 (3) HOOTS TOOTS has a good chance of winning, as they have just won in good style after a 6 month break and are bidding for a 4th win. 10/1 (10) ALBESEEINGYER is another strong contender, having ended 2022 with a hat-trick and showing promise for more success this year. 6/1 (16) TWO SUMMERS and 11/1 (5) TRIGGERED also have potential to be in the running.

HOOTS TOOTS picked up where he left off last year when making a successful return to action over this trip at Thirsk, and a 5lb rise looks unlikely to stop him following up here. The gelded son of Outstrip kept on to prevail by a length and a quarter on that occasion and there is likely more in his locker. Albeseeingyer was last seen completing a three-timer of her own at Redcar in September and has to be feared on her comeback, while recent Wolverhampton winner Lincoln Gamble completes the shortlist.

Any number to consider but TWO SUMMERS has shaped well in a couple of handicaps back on turf in recent weeks and looks the way to go back in trip. Hoots Toots bidding for a 4-timer and the likeable Albeseeingyer are a couple of the other principal challengers.

The return to turf is a potential banana skin but DAAFY needs a good pace to aim at and he may finally get that today.

Based on the summary, Silver in Disguise and 8/1 (13) GENTLEMAN DE MAI seem to be the strongest contenders, with 5.5/1 (10) CONCETTO and 6/1 (12) DESTINY IS ALL also having a good chance. The others have either proven to be inconsistent or have not shown enough recent form to suggest they will do well in this race.

Fresh from her success in the Grand National with Corach Rambler, Lucinda Russell will be hopeful that DESTINY IS ALL can round off a fine month. A good second over 3m5f at Warwick 47 days ago, the nine-year-old may benefit from a further step up in trip and his current mark ought to be well within range. Stablemate Return Fire is worthy of consideration, along with If Not For Dylan, who has always given the impression a marathon trip would play to his strengths. Geryville should not be underestimated either.

CONCETTO lost his unbeaten chasing record at the hands of another progressive novice at Ludlow, but he looks the one who could still be ahead of his mark given his lightly-raced profile so is well worth another chance. Gentleman de Mai is another unexposed sort who's taken well to fences so rates the main threat ahead of Destiny Is All and Geryville.

The unexposed Concetto will be a real threat if staying but this could be the chance for DESTINY IS ALL (nap) to win again.

Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (2) UNITED APPROACH and 2.5/1 (10) SMOKY MOUNTAIN seem to be the ones with the most potential and are likely to do well in the upcoming race. 0.8/1 (2) UNITED APPROACH has already demonstrated an impressive performance in Ayr, while 2.5/1 (10) SMOKY MOUNTAIN has shown promise in recent races despite being bumped into a smart filly. 7.5/1 (8) LEAP DAY also has potential as a promising sort with room for improvement. On the other hand, 40/1 (3) ACRESWOOD and 80/1 (11) SWANLAND may be best to be watched on this occasion as newcomers, while 200/1 (1) NOOO MORE has an unimpressive track record.

A 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop UNITED APPROACH, who confirmed the promise of his Ascot introduction when justifying favouritism at Ayr in September. Billy Loughnane negates most of the penalty with his 5lb claim and James Tate's colt appears to have a bright future ahead of him. Desert Games was beaten less than a length into fourth at Pontefract and can step forward from that reappearance. Smoky Mountain chased home a smart filly at Wolverhampton and completes the shortlist on his turf debut.

With UNITED APPROACH's penalty largely negated by top apprentice Billy Loughnane's claim, the Fastnet Rock colt is taken to add to his ready success in an Ayr maiden on the second of his two starts as a juvenile. Smoky Mountain has shaped well in a couple of runs over 7f on the all-weather and will be a threat if coping with this drop in trip. Leap Day's debut third at Newcastle was promising and he is best of the rest.

Leap Day shaped well on debut but UNITED APPROACH looked a promising sprinter when winning easily at Ayr when last in action.

It is likely that 1.5/1 (1) RESPLENDENT GREY will do well based on the summary provided. The horse has won with ease on its hurdle debut, has shown promise in bumpers, and has

RESPLENDENT GREY had some good bumper form in the book prior to his recent Wetherby success, and the unexposed son of Walk In The Park is taken to follow up under a penalty. It should only be a matter of time before Charles St opens his account in this sphere having posted a series of consistent efforts, while Bells Express could be best placed to chase them home.

RESPLENDENT GREY has to concede weight all round but he looked a good prospect when going in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Wetherby so gets the nod. Charles St has the form to play a big part but looks booked for minor honours once more ahead of newcomer Bix Beiderbecke.

This offers CHARLES ST a golden chance to gain an overdue hurdling win.
Class & Speed Card

3.5/1 (1) TYKE is the most likely to do well, having won a maiden race recently and showing promise to improve. 1.25/1 (12) ROYAL DRESS C&D also has strong form and is a contender, while 9/1 (13) STORMY DENISE and 14/1 (11) ELUSIVE ANGEL are live each-way candidates. The rest of the field either lack experience or have not shown much promise recently.

TALHA filled the runner-up spot on both juvenile starts - most recently over C&D - and has been gelded during his winter break. Better is expected of the son of Havana Grey this year and he could be worth siding with, although Royal Dress was steadily progressive last summer and bumped into subsequent Oh So Sharp winner/Breeders' Cup fourth Midnight Mile, also over track and trip. Tyke is another who could have a say in proceedings, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for his debut Southwell triumph.

This looks a good opportunity for ROYAL DRESS, who shaped well on each of her three starts as a juvenile, culminating in a C&D second to Midnight Mile. The winner followed up in a Group 3 before finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, so the form is very solid. Tyke made a highly promising start at Southwell a fortnight ago but he'll need to be pretty useful in order to successfully concede 12 lb to the selection. Stormy Denise and Talha are each-way players.

Talha should win races this year but ROYAL DRESS can make a successful return to action. Her C&D second when last seen is good form.

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (6) HERE COMES THE MAN and 5/1 (3) KAKAMORA seem to be the strongest contenders. 4.5/1 (6) HERE COMES THE MAN won easily on his chasing debut just 13 days ago and has a lot to like, while 5/1 (3) KAKAMORA won emphatically in his last outing and is expected to progress. 2.75/1 (1) BRIDGE NORTH and 7/1 (4) UNIVERSAL FOLLY could also be in the running, but may face tougher competition. The other horses have some question marks around their recent form or ability to compete at this level.

There was a lot to like about BRIDGE NORTH's triumph in a small but competitive contest on his chase debut at Newbury last month and the handicapper may have underestimated the strength of that form with only a 3lb rise in the ratings. Here Comes The Man also impressed when winning on his first attempt over fences at Newcastle recently and an 8lb hike in the handicap is unlikely to stop another bold bid. The in-form Everyday Champagne will need to overcome a career-high mark to capitalise here, but he still enters calculations.

HERE COMES THE MAN created an excellent impression when making a winning chasing debut at Newcastle so Rose Dobbin's son of Flemensfirth is fancied to defy a 8 lb rise and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Bridge North also went in at the first time of asking in this sphere at Newbury and is feared most ahead of the handily-weighted Captain Quint and Huntingdon-scorer Kakamora.

A competitive contest could go to BRIDGE NORTH, who is open to improvement as a chaser.
Class & Speed Card

4.5/1 (9) EQUATORIAL is likely to do well based on the summary. The horse has a strong pedigree and the trainer has a good record with newcomers. The fact that the horse is wearing a hood suggests that the trainer may have identified some potential behavior issues and is taking steps to address them, indicating that the trainer is invested in the horse's success. The market may also give an indicator of how well 4.5/1 (9) EQUATORIAL is expected to perform.

SUPREME KING looked as if he failed to see out the mile in handicap company at Newmarket's Craven meeting, but he has plenty of solid placed form to recommend him and the return to a maiden might help him break through. Equatorial looks the part on paper as a son of Showcasing and he could go well for Roger Varian, while the Ed Walker-trained Sherood cost 130,000gns as a foal so the Night Of Thunder colt is also worth a market watch ahead of his racecourse bow.

Having finished runner-up 4 times already, SUPREME KING sets a pretty solid standard so Richard Hannon's colt is fancied to go a place better back in maiden company. Harry Eustace's runners tend to come on plenty for a run so his Bill Silvers could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Eddie Temple and newcomer Lowton another couple worth considering.

Although now 0-7 SUPREME KING sets a useful standard including on his two performances this year.

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary, as many of them have poor form or limited experience. However, 3.5/1 (5) HAPPY VICTORY and 9/1 (6) JET FIGHTER are both described as having strong chances, with 3.5/1 (5) HAPPY VICTORY having won both of their starts in points and 9/1 (6) JET FIGHTER being a fair chaser with a respectable recent performance. 12/1 (8) MATTHEWS HILL and 8/1 (2) ARTIC WEATHER are also worth a market check, with 12/1 (8) MATTHEWS HILL having made the frame in completed starts in points and 8/1 (2) ARTIC WEATHER being runner-up twice from four starts in points.

The form of FR GILLIGANSVOYGE's dead-heat for first place in Borris House in March received a massive boost when the horse that joined him on the line won over the banks at the festival on Tuesday. Pat Taaffe did the steering that day and takes a handy 7lb off his back. Speaker Thomas was well behind Fr Gilligansvoyge in sixth, but arrives in winning form after landing a point-to-point in Stradbally this month. He gets first-time cheekpieces. Artic Weather was beaten a length and a half into second by Speaker Thomas that day, but has a 7lb pull in the weights with James Hannon's claim, and a tongue-strap and blinkers are applied. This seven-year-old gelding is very much unexposed. Gordon Elliott's Happy Victory won his last two point-to-points before a couple of underwhelming track efforts.

JET FIGHTER acquitted himself well when sixth in the cross country earlier in the week and, if he can reproduce that sort of performance he should be hard to beat in what looks quite a thin race. An Droichead Gorm looks the chief threat and Artic Weather merits respect.

Despite two undistinguished hunter chase displays, HAPPY VICTORY will be hard to beat on the evidence of his point-to-point form

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will perform the best. However, 3/1 (2) UNCLE ALASTAIR Carlisle may have an advantage as they have previously won on the track and are benefitting from a first-time visor. 6/1 (4) SAINT ARVANS also has a good record this season with four wins and may be a contender. The other horses have either been inconsistent or are out of form, so they may have a bit to prove.

Cyclop appeared to be retreating when falling in the latter stages of the race at Fakenham earlier in the month and the veteran may be worth taking on running off the same mark in this contest. UNCLE ALASTAIR proved a different proposition when cruising home in a first-time visor at Carlisle last month and a 5lb rise in the handicap might not be enough to stop Nicky Richards' gelding from going in again. Fellow last-time-out winner Saint Arvans could have more to offer over staying distances and is another viable alternative.

DOYEN BREED looks to be on the way back and can resume winning ways in a change of headgear. The Wolf's long losing run dents confidence for win purpose but he ran well for second at Ludlow last time and can fill the forecast spot again. Recent Carlisle scorer Uncle Alastair may prove best of the rest.

Although his winning run came to an end last time, CYCLOP is taken to return resume winning ways on a track that suits him.

Based on the summary, it seems that 2.5/1 (4) WONDER LEGEND and 3.5/1 (3) WESTERTON are the most promising horses for this race. 2.5/1 (4) WONDER LEGEND has won a maiden race and is now venturing down the handicap route, and the longer trip should suit his style. 3.5/1 (3) WESTERTON, on the other hand, has been a runner-up in a maiden race and is expected to do well now that he's on handicap debut and running in a longer trip. While 9/1 (5) MINDSET and 4.5/1 (7) DENIS ANTHONY are also promising horses, they may be outmatched by the other contenders.

HOPE YOU CAN RUN takes a drop in class after finishing third in a good nursery at Newmarket on his final start as a two-year-old. Although he has to give weight away to all his rivals, the added two furlongs here might see plenty of improvement. Wonder Legend got back up to take his maiden at Wolverhampton and is one to consider on his turf/handicap debut, though Mindset may prove the bigger danger now stepping up to the trip he was bred for as a son of New Approach.

The two that appeal most are WESTERTON and Wonder Legend. Marginal preference is for the former, who took a step forward when runner-up in a Nottingham maiden on his final start of 2022 (dual subsequent winner Like A Tiger back in third) and further progress is anticipated now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. Wonder Legend has improved with each of his three starts on the all-weather and will be a big threat if taking to turf, while Denis Anthony is another likely improver.

Several of these are open to more improvement, but WONDER LEGEND is race-fit having got off the mark at Wolverhampton this month.

4/1 (3) KILCRUIT seems to be a strong contender based on being Paul Townend's choice and having promising overall form. 4/1 (6) LIFE IN THE PARK and 9/1 (5) GRANDERO BELLO also have good Grade 3 running form and are worth considering. 10/1 (4) MACS CHARM and 12/1 (2) AUTHORIZED ART both have recent wins and could have potential in handicap chases. However, horses like 22/1 (8) HALLOWED STAR and 25/1 (10) TULLYBEG may be risky due to recent poor form or long absences.

LIFE IN THE PARK has an each-way chance at the prices. Henry de Bromhead's six-year-old gelding made a highly encouraging seasonal reappearance at Limerick when nearest at the finish in a close third in a Grade 3 novice chase. There ought to be plenty more to come from him in this sphere. He won the Adare Manor Opportunity Final Handicap Hurdle at last season's Punchestown Festival. Kilcruit is three from four across all codes (a Grade 1 bumper, a maiden hurdle and a beginners' chase) at Punchestown. His last two unplaced outings came in Grade 1 company over fences and he is clearly a big player in this company. Emmet Mullins' So Scottish is very talented and can rebound from an unplaced run at Cheltenham. Grandero Bello was a neck in front of Life In The Park in second at Limerick and gets first-time cheekpieces. Dropping back in trip will suit him.

SO SCOTTISH shaped well when seventh in the Magners Plate at Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago, travelling strongly for a long way before the lack of a recent run told, and that should leave him spot on now. Life In The Park shaped much better than the bare result in a Grade 3 at Limerick last month and is of interest now handicapping, while Kilcruit heads a strong team for Willie Mullins.

A hard race to get a handle on with three Mullins runners at the top of the handicap. None of the trio may cope with GRANDERO BELLO

3/1 (12) CHUMLEE and 5/1 (14) WATCHOUTITSCOOKIE seem to be the strongest contenders based on their recent form and abilities. However, 5.5/1 (4) WHAT A STEAL and 7/1 (1) MAILLOT BLANC cannot be completely ruled out as they have shown some decent performances and could surprise. The rest of the field seems to have some question marks and will need to improve significantly to be competitive.

CHUMLEE has been hit with an 11lb hike in the ratings after romping home by 10 lengths over 2m1f on his handicap debut at Newcastle last month, but Sandy Forster's inmate looks capable of more now stepped up to 2m4f and gets the vote. Maillot Blanc was far from disgraced when placing third off 1lb lower in a class 2 event at Kelso last time and he isn't taken lightly in these calmer waters. What A Steal may have more to offer here on his handicap debut and completes the shortlist.

Tom George has a healthy 22% strike-rate here so a chance is taken on his WHAT A STEAL who showed promise at the start of his career and rates a potential improver now handicapping under Brian Hughes. Maillot Blanc ran a solid race at Kelso last month and is also on the shortlist, along with recent Newcastle scorer Chumlee and Nigel Hawke's Watchoutitscookie.

In a trappy race ULTRA VIOLET, who has improved with cheekpieces, is the tentative choice. Watchoutitscookie is an obvious threat.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, the following horses seem to have some potential: - 2.75/1 (7) INVISIBLE FRIEND: This horse has not been seen since winning easily in August and is described as unexposed. The summary states that improvement is on the cards, which could make them a contender. - 3.5/1 (6) MY LITTLE QUEENS: This horse won in fine style at Chelmsford City and had a career best performance. While they are higher in weight for this race, they are still considered a possibility. - 6.5/1 (1) MISS DOWN UNDER: This horse is expected to do better in this race after their third-place finish in their last race. They will be wearing cheekpieces again, which could improve their performance. - 12/1 (5) SILVER SCREEN: Although their last two performances were modest, this horse has placed in previous races and has possibilities now that they are up in distance. - 16/1 (10) VALLAMOREY: This horse is making their handicap debut and the summary suggests that they may

Compliant will try to make her fitness advantage pay after winning at Kempton in February before a close-up third at Newcastle the following month, but she is yet to prove her worth on the grass and INVISIBLE FRIEND may be the one. Third on her Haydock debut, she won very easily at Carlisle, despite showing signs of her inexperience, and could be in for a successful season with any further improvement. My Little Queens also makes the shortlist after her Chelmsford triumph.

The unexposed INVISIBLE FRIEND looks the way to go having shown plenty of promise on her two starts last summer, finishing third to a subsequent listed winner on debut at Haydock prior to landing the odds in a 9f Carlisle novice. She is probably capable of better than her opening mark would imply. Miss Down Under is likely to come on for her reappearance spin on the all-weather and is feared back at what appears to be her optimum trip. Silver Screen and Vallamorey both make some each-way appeal.

The choice is MISS DOWN UNDER who looked in need of her reappearance. This trip suits her better and she wouldn't mind any more rain.
Class & Speed Card

0.83/1 (2) WALK IN CLOVER has the highest chance of doing well based on the summary.

Walk In Clover has been put up 11lb for future races by the handicapper, meaning that even with a 7lb penalty here, she is still effectively 4lb well in at the weights. She seems likely to go well but she may not be able to cope with MIDNIGHT MARY, who was only beaten half a length in a better race at Warwick in March, and racing off the same mark here. She may have too may gears for these, leaving Western Jill as a tentative suggestion to chase them home.

WESTERN JILL is interesting starting out over fences and could be the way to go over Midnight Mary and Cheltenham-winner Walk In Clover (no banker to back that up over this longer trip).

Off an unchanged mark and with longer to recover, MIDNIGHT MARY can capitalise if this comes too soon for Walk In Clover.
Class & Speed Card

0.83/1 (3) FORTUNA LIGNA looks like the strongest contender based on her leading claims and superior form compared to her rivals. 2.75/1 (1) ALL THE GLORY and 10/1 (7) LA PAGERIE also have potential to be contenders, but may not be as strong as 0.83/1 (3) FORTUNA LIGNA. The rest of the field appears to have less promising form and may not be as likely to do well.

FORTUNA LIGNA performed as well as expected when fourth in the EBF Mares' Final at Newbury last month and looks to have been found a good opportunity returning to maiden company. All The Glory posted an improved effort to place third at Haydock earlier in the month and rates as the only conceivable danger, with Cooleenymore making most appeal of the remainder.

Preference is for ALL THE GLORY, who upped her game when third at Haydock earlier this month and remains low mileage in this sphere. Fortuna Ligna has performed well in handicap company recently and is the obvious danger, whilst Cooleenymore can also make her presence felt.

This is a great chance to get off the mark for FORTUNA LIGNA, with All The Glory almost her only conceivable danger.

0.91/1 (3) IMPERVIOUS is likely to do well based on the summary. She has won her last four races over fences and had a career-best win at Cheltenham last month. She has obvious claims and is a promising sort. 2.75/1 (1) ALLEGORIE DE VASSY and 6.5/1 (7) INSTIT also have respectable chances, having run well in their previous races. 33/1 (2) ELIMAY and 250/1 (6) ECHOES OF FAMILY are unlikely to be good enough, based on their recent form.

IMPERVIOUS has been a joy to watch over fences and is taken to maintain her unbeaten record in this discipline. She was a more than useful hurdler in winning a Grade 3 in Down Royal, but has taken her form to a whole new level over the bigger obstacles. She is a perfect four from four including the Grade 2 mares' chase at Cheltenham where she won a battle on the run-in with Allegorie De Vassy. The latter comes back for more and is a threat as she is the closest to Impervious on ratings (4lb inferior). She has had a run since Cheltenham when clearly not at her best in second at Fairyhouse. Instit, a stablemate of Allegorie De Vassy, beat her at Fairyhouse and has a shot at finishing in front of her again.

IMPERVIOUS maintained her unbeaten record over fences with a very smart performance when readily beating Allegorie de Vassy in the Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) at the Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago and should prove hard to beat once more. Allegorie de Vassy can follow her home again despite a rather disappointing performance at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago.

IMPERVIOUS (nap) is the one to beat after her Cheltenham success last month and she arrives fresher than her two main rivals

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well as there are several contenders, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. However, 4/1 (11) THE BANDIT and 6.5/1 (13) EDEN MILL seem to have a better chance as they have recently shown improved form and are only slightly up in the weights. 8/1 (6) PATS DREAM and 12/1 (1) MINELLA YOUNGY, although unproven in handicaps, also have potential to do well if they can build on their previous performances.

The booking of Brian Hughes to ride Rory And Me for the trainer who won a division of this in 2021 catches the eye, and he could go well at a price as he comes down the weights, along with Sanosuke, who looks well handicapped but isn't guaranteed to be at his best over this trip. It may be more sensible to side with EUCHAN FALLS, who returns to a more suitable grade after failing in better company the last twice and he races off just 4lb higher than his latest winning mark.

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is HARIBO COLLONGES who seemed to have his stamina stretched over 25f at Carlisle last time and his Market Rasen third prior to that is solid form in the context of this race. The Bandit pieced it all together at Southwell last time and is second choice ahead of Rory And Me, who might have needed the outing last time and has Brian Hughes up. Rose Dobbin's Pats Dream is a potential improver in handicaps.

Although below form last time, EUCHAN FALLS appeals most with the drop in class a positive.

4/1 (5) QUERCUS ROBUR is likely to do well in this race based on the summary. They have had four wins from their last nine starts and were a clear second in their last race. They have also won at the distance of this race and are described as

Several of these are old rivals and it's likely this will be a tactical affair. With that in mind, it might be worth chancing that PRINCE ABU adapts to turf well enough to exploit the fact he gets weight all round, and he could be good value to stage a repeat of December's defeat of Quercus Robur on the Tapeta at Southwell. Star Angel and Cogital are also closely matched on past form and complete the shortlist, in that order of preference.

QUERCUS ROBUR has developed into a reliable sort and continues in good heart having pulled clear of the rest when runner-up off this mark at Catterick 16 days ago. He shades the vote over Justus and Star Angel in what looks a competitive event.

Preference is for QUERCUS ROBUR (nap) who has won four of his last nine starts and stays this trip well.

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (4) JOLY MAKER Stratford and 3/1 (3) LUCKOFTHEDRAW seem to be the strongest contenders. 2.5/1 (4) JOLY MAKER Stratford has won his latest race despite being a heavy underdog and has a good track record at Stratford. On the other hand, 3/1 (3) LUCKOFTHEDRAW has been successful in handicap chases in the past and has recently returned to form. 9/1 (1) SOMEKINDOFSTAR and 8.5/1 (5) HERE WE HAVE IT could also potentially perform well, but they need to overcome recent poor form. The other horses have either not been successful in recent races or have not had enough recent performances to gauge their form accurately.

Here We Have It represents the stable who won this last year and although he won here over two miles in December, he has been pulled up on both starts since and it may be sensible to look elsewhere. JOLY MAKER is inclined to arrive late on the scene in his races, making it difficult for the handicapper to get to grips with his true ability, and following a one-length success at Stratford last time out, he arrives in good form. He may follow up off 4lb higher, while Luckofthedraw is the pick for third spot.

In a light 2022/23 campaign, JOLY MAKER has recorded two wins at Stratford from 3 starts and this strong-travelling type can score again on his second run back following a 7-month absence. Luckofthedraw has been in good form of late and could be the main danger, with Quid Pro Quo completing the shortlist on his handicap hurdle debut.

If anyone is going to deny Joly Maker it may be the still well-treated LUCKOFTHEDRAW, assuming the errors are kept in check.

3.5/1 (6) KINGSMILL GIN is likely to do well based on the summary provided. She has recently won by a significant margin and has bounced back to her best form. She is also racing off a slightly higher weight, which suggests that she is in good condition.

Kingsmill Gin returned to winning ways when leading from an early stage at Exeter earlier in the month and a 6lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable. Jackie Du Plessis' mare, however, could struggle to dominate in this larger field and DOYENS DE ANTE makes slightly more appeal. The seven-year-old finished a never-nearer second at Huntingdon last Sunday and, as he was 3lb out of the handicap on that occasion, a bold bid is expected. Eceparti's mark continues to drop and he also can't be discounted at this level.

KINGSMILL GIN looked back to her very best when scoring at Exeter 17 days ago, pulling clear with the runner-up, and a repeat performance should see her go very close. Doyens de Ante should be on the premises again, with the unexposed Kings Krackertara another to consider.

This extra distance looks a positive for KINGS KRACKERTARA who has got her act together again when tongue tied for her last two starts.

Based on the summary, it appears that 0.4/1 (4) STATE MAN is the favorite to do well, having won four Grade 1s in a row and being described as

STATE MAN is very hard to get away from in this field, but is priced accordingly. He couldn't land a blow on the imperious Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, but did come home in a clear second. His record prior to that reverse was excellent as he accumulated four Grade 1 victories in a row. He is ground versatile. His stablemate, Sharjah, is still a very solid operator. He was placed at both the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals and is likely to give Patrick Mullins another good spin. Zanahiyr finished third in the Champion Hurdle and occupied the same berth in the Aintree Hurdle. He could land another good cheque. Vauban chased home State Man in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown in December and February. He weakened in fourth in the Champion Hurdle, but has plenty of ability.

STATE MAN has no Constitution Hill to contend with this time so is confidently expected to resume winning ways after his Champion Hurdle second and make it 5-6 for the season. Stablemates Sharjah and Vauban are fancied to chase home Willie Mullins' top-class hurdler in that order.

Everything points to STATE MAN resuming the sequence interrupted by Constitution Hill at Cheltenham. Vauban can take second

1.25/1 (6) EL ELEFANTE and 3/1 (5) THE KALOOKI KID are the most likely to do well based on their recent strong form and encouraging performances, with 1.25/1 (6) EL ELEFANTE having won a good race at Musselburgh last month and 3/1 (5) THE KALOOKI KID having shown promise in previous races. 5.5/1 (4) MARTY MCFLY may also be a contender with his previous Irish point win and solid fourth place in a recent Rules debut. The other horses have either shown limited ability or are debutants without much to go off in terms of performance history.

With precious little form to work with it may be safest to take the side of EL ELEFANTE, a four-length winner on her debut under Rules at Musselburgh, where she made all to come home alone. She carries a 4lb penalty for that victory but still gets a mares' allowance and any improvement may see her follow up. Stuart Crawford sends Largy Ray over from Ireland and he may be worth a market watch here, while twice-placed The Kalooki Kid and newcomer Buck Of Maine are others to consider.

EL ELEFANTE was second in a point before going one better in comfortable fashion at Musselburgh a month ago and she's firmly expected to go in again. The Kalooki Kid looks the main danger ahead of Marty McFly.

Good Musselburgh winner EL ELEFANTE can defy a 4lb penalty and win again.

Based on the summary, 3/1 (5) VASILISSA seems like a good bet as she has recently won a handicap on the polytrack and is expected to perform just as well on the grass, especially with her in-form claimer. 4.5/1 (2) INSPIRED KNOWHOW is also worth considering as he has shown promise in his previous races and may benefit from the step up in trip, but his lack of experience on turf may be a concern. The other horses don't have as strong of a case based on their recent performances and/or lack of experience, but it's always wise to keep an eye on the market and see if any surprising developments arise before making a final prediction.

Several of these are open to improvement as they are develop as handicappers and the likes of Inspired Knowhow, Rockonmecca and Juryman all merit betting checks. However, VASILISSA took a big step forward when she won over this trip at Kempton 16 days ago and, from just 1lb higher, she is an appealing option now switched to turf. With her yard in good form and Alec Voikhansky keeping the partnership intact, the daughter of Kingman could be the answer in a tough one to call.

An ultra-competitive finale in which the suggestion is VASILISSA, who did well under the circumstances given the lack of pace to open her account at Kempton just over a fortnight ago, and operating from just a 1 lb higher mark, she's fancied to double her tally. Inspired Knowhow should have more to offer making his turf debut, so he heads up the opposition, with Juryman and Annie Law rounding off the shortlist.

The vote goes to JURYMAN who has run well in his last four starts and gives the impression he has improvement in him.

Based on the information provided, 3/1 (4) CALL THE DANCE and 10/1 (3) BETHPAGE seem to have the best chances of performing well in their next races. 3/1 (4) CALL THE DANCE has shown promise in previous races and is closely related to successful horses, while 10/1 (3) BETHPAGE showed potential in a competitive event on debut and is expected to improve. However, other horses such as 11/1 (9) MALAGO ROSE and 11/1 (8) LUCKY ROSE cannot be completely ruled out.

Lucky Rose showed promise with a second at Lingfield and a fourth here in March, but she was beaten 16 lengths on the latter occasion and will need to do more here. Young At Heart ran well on her only start when third at Fakenham and she may prove to be the biggest danger to CALL THE DANCE. Fourth on her sole start at Ludlow, she encountered trouble in running that day and will have learned from the experience, which she could put to good use here.

CALL THE DANCE is well bred and left the impression she'd improve for her debut at Ludlow in January, so a chance is taken on her to see off Young At Heart, who also made an encouraging start. Bethpage is the pick of the remainder.

Call The Dance should be more streetwise today but BETHPAGE made a promising start in a better race at Newbury.

Based on the summary provided, the horse with the best chance of doing well appears to be 2.25/1 (8) HUNTERS SONG, who finished 2nd in a handicap at Thurles and has shown the best form overall. 3/1 (4) GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY and 3/1 (11) PRINCE NINO also seem like likely contenders based on their recent performances. The rest of the horses have not shown as much promise in their recent races, so they may have a harder time competing in this particular race.

This maiden contest won't take much winning and GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY gets the vote. Ben Clarke's gelding finished a respectable second over C&D earlier in the month and a reproduction of that effort may suffice. Hunters Song should prove more competitive in these calmer waters having finished sixth on his stable debut in a handicap hurdle here a few weeks ago, with hurdling debutant Parsons Stone looking a potential improver in this sphere.

HUNTERS SONG finished with running left on his yard debut here earlier this month and is taken to get off the mark. Good Friday Fairy and Prince Nino are also respected.

This looks a low-level contest and GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY showed enough over C&D 18 days ago to suggest that he can go well.

0.33/1 (4) IMPAIRE ET PASSE is likely to do well based on the summary. They have won multiple races, including the Moscow Flyer and the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle, and have remained unbeaten in their last four races. Additionally, they are described as a

IMPAIRE ET PASSE is a top-class novice and can follow up his Ballymore win. A debut bumper winner at Nancy in March 2022, he has done everything right in his three hurdle wins, scoring impressively at Cheltenham and should confirm placings with third-placed Champ Kiely. The selection's main rival could be one-time Derby favourite High Definition, who should be suited by stepping up in distance. He is quirky and keen but was only beaten seven lengths by top-class runner-up Facile Vega in the Supreme at Cheltenham, when he appeared caught for pace. Champ Kiely is a Grade 1 winner but was beaten seven lengths by the selection at Cheltenham and perhaps High Definition might beat him for second. Amir Kabir, Inothewayurthinkin and Thecompanysergeant are each capable but need to improve.

Impressive Ballymore Hurdle scorer IMPAIRE ET PASSE remains unbeaten over hurdles and looks the way to go here with Willie Mullins' most exciting prospect holding much the best form on show with the prospect of even better to come. Stablemate Champ Kiely came home third there at Cheltenham so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of improving duo Amir Kabir and Thecompanysergeant.

There doesn't seem to be much point in opposing IMPAIRE ET PASSE who arrives unbeaten and sets a clear standard after his Ballymore win

2/1 (10) WHITE RHINO Improver looks like a strong contender for the race based on the summary provided. The horse has been in good form in handicaps, winning its latest race over the same course and distance as this race. Furthermore, it has shown improvement since moving up in trip and switching to handicaps, suggesting there may be more to come. All in all, 2/1 (10) WHITE RHINO Improver is a

White Rhino is likely to prove popular having completed a hat-trick over C&D last month, but there may be some value in taking on the seven-year-old, who has been hit with another 10lb rise in the ratings for that latest success. Bumper winner SWAPPED makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and a wind procedure since his midfield finish at Plumpton in January may unlock enough potential to triumph here. Sageburg County and Inchester D'amsyl also make their first appearance in this sphere and any market support would make them of interest.

WHITE RHINO's form has taken off since going handicapping up in trip, recording a second C&D success when scoring comfortably here last time, and he can land the 4-timer with the promise of still more to offer. There are several interesting handicap debutants in the line-up, though, with Swapped feared most ahead of Inchester d'Amsyl and Sageburg County.

The vote goes to the highly progressive WHITE RHINO (nap), who made it 3-3 in handicaps with his comfortable win over C&D last month.

6.5/1 (5) LE LIGERIEN and 4.5/1 (4) NOTHIN TO ASK seem like strong contenders based on their recent form and previous success over course and distance. 2.5/1 (1) JETOILE also has a good chance based on consistent form and a recent win over course and distance. 9/1 (6) ENZO D'AIRY and 4/1 (2) NORTHERN BOUND cannot be ruled out entirely but may need to improve or overcome past issues. 10/1 (7) MOONLIGHTER and 14/1 (8) GATS AND CO may struggle with the distance or recent form respectively. 12/1 (3) JEMIMA P could be a wildcard with previous success in handicap chases but has not performed as well this term.

Northern Bound has been highly consistent over fences and again looks a player at this level off just 2lb higher than his Newbury success last November, while Le Ligerien also makes some appeal. However, JETOILE was a very comfortable winner over C&D last month and, as he has bags of scope to improve over the trip, a 5lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the gelding from following up.

Dual course winner JETOILE is still relatively low mileage for his age and remains on a workable mark. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. Northern Bound and Le Ligerien rate the principal dangers.

Preference is for JETOILE who has had the form of his clearcut win over C&D last month boosted by the runner-up.

Based on the summary, it is predicted that 2/1 (10) VAUCELET will do well as it is mentioned that it is capable of making amends, had been on a steady upward curve, and is expected to bounce back quickly. 4.5/1 (7) ITS ON THE LINE, 4.5/1 (2) BILLAWAY, and 6/1 (3) CHRIS'S DREAM are also mentioned as useful chasers and should be considered. 7/1 (1) ANNAMIX is mentioned as having a surprise return to form and merits respect for its stable in rude health. 10/1 (8) LOUGH DERG SPIRIT is also mentioned as having a fine run in the Foxhunter at Aintree and should give another good account. The rest of the horses are either fairly useful chasers or out of their depth.

ITS ON THE LINE might overcome an Aintree fall and win, with neither UK rivals Premier Magic nor Shantou Flyer running due to an administration mess. Returning from a fall isn't ideal but the selection had previously finished a staying second at Cheltenham, with a sounder surface being an advantage to the progressive six-year-old. Chris's Dream is 7lb better off, having finished fifth at Cheltenham, but is his rider's first chase ride and prefers soft ground. Billaway beat Vaucelet to win last year's renewal and while both are fine hunters, Billway is now a gear slower with Vaucelet disappointing at Cheltenham. Annamix showed no regard for the form book at Fairyhouse and while suited by good ground, faces a tougher task. Aintree-third Lough Derg Spirit is suited by a sound surface but has been beaten in Open points this season. Dinny Lacey steps up from his Cork win.

VAUCELET was slightly disappointing at Cheltenham but he's a reliable character who should bounce back quickly. Chris's Dream was ahead of the selection that day and deserves respect, while Billaway is a player if he has one of his better days in terms of jumping.

A little unlucky here last year, VAUCELET may make amends for that and for last month's Cheltenham disappointment

Based on the summary provided, it appears that

THANKSFORTHEHELP was unable to justify favouritism when finishing midfield in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival last month, but David Pipe's inmate is of strong interest now returned to novice company and looks to have been found a good opportunity to return to winning ways. Amrons Sage recorded a first success under Rules when winning a handicap hurdle at Ludlow last time and warrants respect, despite having 8lb to find on the ratings with the selection, while Richhill makes most appeal of the remainder.

THANKSFORTHEHELP shaped better than the result in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham last month, unable to sustain his effort, and he can resume winning ways back in novice company. The 6-y-o can see off the challenge of the improving Amrons Sage, while Gentle Frank could also have further progress to come.

Thanksforthehelp holds leading claims provided he copes with the drop back to a sharp 2m4f. A solid alternative is RICHHILL.

3.33/1 (1) HARDY DU SEUIL has had a good campaign and is predicted to do well again despite being raised 3 lb. 4.5/1 (2) SOUL ICON is also a strong contender, having won seven of his first eight handicaps and proven to be a different proposition when switched to handicaps. 6/1 (6) TAKEIT EASY and 8/1 (3) LUNAR SOVEREIGN are interesting options to keep an eye on, while 22/1 (4) RATHMACKNEE and 66/1 (9) ATHOLL STREET have struggled recently and may need a revival.

HARDY DU SEUIL showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when he was a close second in a series qualifier at Wetherby 28 days ago, and he may be able to go one place better off just 3lb higher. Soul Icon may have been in need of the run at Aintree a fortnight ago and also rates as a player with Harry Kimber, who has won five times aboard the gelding, back in the saddle. Shared is another to note.

TAKEIT EASY lurks on a very tempting mark (10 lb lower than for last success) and could be the way to go having not enjoyed much luck in a stronger race at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Hardy du Seuil can go well again, while it remains early days for Sam Thomas' Deere Mark and he could get back on the up after struggling in the Morebattle.

Another chance can be given to DEERE MARK, who looks very promising before his disappointing run in a hot handicap last month.

Based on the summary provided, 2.5/1 (4) MONBEG PARK seems to be the strongest contender with a recent second-place finish (although later disqualified) and a track record of being a course winner and useful hurdler. 2.75/1 (5) SA MAJESTE and 5/1 (2) FIRM FOOTINGS also have potential, but 2.5/1 (4) MONBEG PARK seems to have the best chance of doing well in this race.

SA MAJESTE is absent since winning 341 days ago and while he has probably had a setback, is suited by race conditions and could be smart. His two French runs were at Auteuil, beating blacktype-placed horses last-time and should be ok on drier ground. Monbeg Park has a big race-fitness edge having been disqualified, following interference, at Fairyhouse. It now seems he is ideally suited by this distance and while vulnerable to smart types, should get involved. Spillane's Tower could prove better than 126 but nonetheless steps up from his Naas win and drops in distance. Firm Footings ran well in the Coral Cup and has won at this distance but faces a tough task. Arctic Bresil is possibly best watched reappearing in a first-time tongue-tie having disappointed in a January Grade 1, with his Cork form being nothing outstanding. Uncle Phil looks Willie Mullins' second-string having had veterinary issues on recent runs.

MONBEG PARK was much improved at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago only to lose the race in the stewards' room. He can gain compensation back at the scene of his November success. Sa Majeste starting out for Willie Mullins and Firm Footings, who ran a blinder in the Martin Pipe, are among the chief dangers.

This can go the way of MONBEG PARK who posted a career best when first past the post last time and he should have every chance
Class & Speed Card

9/1 (2) HILLFINCH and 10/1 (1) MONTMARTIN are the most likely to do well based on the summary. Both have recent wins or close finishes in handicaps and have been raised in the weights but still have good claims.

Upped markedly in trip for his handicap debut, it would be no surprise to see Montmartin take his form to a new level, but HILLFINCH edges the vote. Stuart Edmunds' mare has displayed significant progress since stepping up to 3m and having bumped into an improver when narrowly denied over C&D 16 days ago, she can go one better today. Recent Stratford scorer Tiny Tantrum must enter calculations, along with Just Call Me Al, who is well treated on his best form and hinted at a return to form when finishing a creditable fourth at Catterick last time.

MONTMARTIN is just the type to leave his previous form behind now handicapping upped markedly in trip and he gets the vote. Royal Lake opened his account at Fontwell earlier this month and can go well again up 4 lb. Stratford-winner Tiny Tantrum and On The Bandwagon are also considered.

Back on track after treatment for ulcers, ROYAL LAKE can defy a 4lb rise at the chief expense of Can't Beat History.

It is likely that 0.67/1 (4) FIRST PREFERENCE will do well based on the summary as they have won their last five points and are expected to perform well on their Rules debut. 2.75/1 (5) HONEY I'M GOOD and 9/1 (2) DOWER CAVES may provide some competition, but 28/1 (1) DEBACLE's form is not promising.

Debacle struck between the flags last time out and he demands the utmost respect, as does Dower Caves, who could benefit from a return to this sounder surface. The one to beat, however, is FIRST PREFERENCE. A winner of his last five point-to-points, the gelded son of Publisher is fancied to make an immediate impact under Rules. Honey I'm Good will need more if she's to feature.

FIRST PREFERENCE has won his last 5 outings between the flags and this doesn't look much of a race, so he should be able to make a successful start in hunters. Honey I'm Good looks the main danger.

It's very hard to get away from FIRST PREFERENCE, who has impressed in all three points for his new stable this year.

Based on the summary, 1.75/1 (12) LECKY WATSON seems to be the strongest contender as they have taken their form to a new level with a very good fourth place in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. They are also described as

LECKY WATSON showed real promise in the Cheltenham Bumper and is now Patrick Mullins' pick. Disqualified here due to interference in November, his big size suggests today's slightly longer distance could suit and has form on a sound surface. Stablemate Dr Eggman finished a half-length behind Lecky Watson when last seen at Fairyhouse last April and while capable, the selection seemed a work-in-progress then and has improved since. Quantum Storm finished second to a capable type in a February course bumper, and holds Irish Panther (now 5lb worse off) on that form. Littlefoot also has good form but is vulnerable to smart types while Walk Away Harry showed potential when dead-heating for second on heavy ground at Clonmel. He's My Hero has useful points form and ran well in a tongue-tie on bumper debut while Talk In The Park has been well held by the winners of his two bumpers. Did I Ask You That has twice been a beaten even-money favourite and runs in a first-time tongue-tie.

Perhaps surprisingly Willie Mullins hasn't won this race since 2012 but he can put that right courtesy of LECKY WATSON who was an excellent fifth in last month's Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. Gordon Elliott's Quantum Storm is feared most on the back of his promising second over 2m here in February. Clonmel runner-up Walk Away Harry is also on the shortlist for last year's winning yard.

LECKY WATSON sets the standard on his Champion Bumper fourth and he can give his trainer another winner this week

9/1 (5) RED VISION is likely to do well based on the summary. Although he hasn't won a hurdle race yet, he has won two novice hurdles last March and took a step back in the right direction with a good fifth in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 27 days ago. This form is also working out really well and he holds good claims off a falling mark.

ARISTOBULUS achieved a peak rating of 82 when trained on the Flat, and he's shown signs of ability in this sphere. Far from disgraced on his handicap debut 25 days ago, the gelded son of Adaay was dropped 1lb for that effort and he wouldn't need to improve much further to record a first hurdles success today. Dance At Night merits a place on the shortlist, as does Scarpered, who remains capable of better for his leading trainer. Eventful is another to consider.

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest. RED VISION hinted at a revival when fifth at Uttoxeter last time and with that form working out really well he looks the way to go off a handy-looking mark. Aristobulus is holding his form well for Stuart Edmunds and is next on the list ahead of in-form maiden Bushmill Boy.

Preference if for ARISTOBULUS, who probably didn't have the race run to suit when third on his recent handicap hurdle debut.

Based on the summary provided, 4.5/1 (2) EQUINUS and 8/1 (14) BOBALOT seem to have the best chances of doing well in their upcoming races. 4.5/1 (2) EQUINUS has shown improvement in his first season and could have a say in the new trip, while 8/1 (14) BOBALOT has won over C&D on his handicap debut and has cheekpieces on for the first time. 10/1 (6) AIMEE DE SIVOLA and 12/1 (8) HALIFAX could also be in the mix for a good performance.

Having been narrowly denied at Exeter earlier this month, Ballymagroarty Boy appears likely to throw down another stern challenge, while at the foot of the handicap Bobalot is back down to his sole winning mark, which came over C&D, and must enter calculations too. However, in an open event, EQUINUS shades the vote. Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge ought to benefit from a step up in trip and drop in class, having contested a warm 0-130 at Newbury 34 days ago.

Alan King's Bangor scorer BETTERFOREVERYONE still has few miles on the clock and comes here on a handy-looking mark so gets the nod in a very open handicap. Ballymagroarty Boy is feared most on the back of his good Exeter second, with Langley Hundred and Halifax two more who need considering.

A bold show in a hunter chase last January is the eyecatching run from HAVEN'T TIME (nap) and he now makes his handicap debut.

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.
