13:30 Perth Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (6) INVICTUS WORLD seems to be the most promising horse with potential to do well on its hurdle debut. 2.75/1 (2) BLEU D'ENFER and 7/1 (8) JEM IN EM also have good earlier form and could be contenders. However, it is important to note that market check and further improvement are factors to consider in predicting horse racing outcomes.

BLEU D'ENFER failed to fire at Fairyhouse last time but the five-year-old could be very hard to beat in a race of this nature based on the pick of his form this season. Invictus World has shown good form in bumpers and has to be of some interest on his hurdling bow, while Jem In Em and It's Dan are others who could go well.

INVICTUS WORLD got off the mark in bumpers at the third attempt at Navan in September and, with this step up in trip promising to suit, he could be up to making a successful hurdling debut. Jem In Em and Bleu d'Enfer both disappointed on their most recent outings, but warrant respect on their earlier form.

This could be a good opportunity for BLEU D'ENFER to get off the mark. Navan bumper winner Invictus World is feared most.

13:40 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

6.5/1 (5) MAGICAL MAGGIE is likely to do well in this race, having won over C&D this month and already having 2-4 wins over hurdles. Despite the double penalty making life tougher, she is still respected as a contender. Other horses that could potentially do well are 4.5/1 (11) VE DAY, who won a 4-runner juvenile hurdle at Musselburgh on NH debut, and 8/1 (3) TROLLEY BOY, who won a Worcester maiden last summer and has had some respectable efforts.

Several to consider in a wide-open contest, with TROLLEY BOY getting a tentative vote. Neil Mulholland's charge finished a solid second in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster in December and this return to novice company may see him record a second triumph over timber. Postmark is a useful performer on the Flat and, while he wasn't quite up to the task when finishing sixth in the Dovecote at Kempton in February, better is expected in these calmer waters. Magical Maggie rates as best of the remainder.

POSTMARK was set a stiff task in the Dovecote just 6 days on from winning an ordinary Newbury maiden, so he has to be worth another chance back in calmer waters based on his useful Flat ability. VE Day scored with a bit in hand on his Musselburgh hurdling debut and can be expected to improve, while Call Me Tara made a good start to her hurdle career last summer and remains with potential back from a break.

The suggestion is MAGICAL MAGGIE, who quickened nicely clear on the run-in here three weeks ago and won't mind if there's rain about.

13:50 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 5/1 (9) TOMMYTWOHOOTS and 8/1 (8) BIRDIE BOWERS seem to have the strongest chances. Both have had recent good performances and are only slightly higher in weight. 4.5/1 (1) SIR BENEDICT and 4.5/1 (3) DAPPER MAN Up also have some potential, but their recent form is not as strong as the other two. The rest of the horses either have limited appeal, are returning from a break, or have not achieved much on turf.

The key to this race could be the recent clash over C&D between TOMMYTWOHOOTS (second) and Birdie Bowers (third), with preference for the former, who is now 4lb below his last winning mark. Dapper Man did it well at Southwell last time out and is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Spanish Angel, who was somewhat unlucky when short of room in that aforementioned contest over C&D.

DAPPER MAN returned to winning ways at Southwell last month and is still feasibly treated on old form. He may be able to follow up. Tommytwohoots and Birdie Bowers rate the principal dangers.

The filly GOLDEN GAL returns after wind surgery, goes well here and fresh and can make her return to this mark another winning one.

14:00 Perth Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

4.5/1 (3) FUSAIN is likely to do well based on the summary. The horse has recently opened its chase account and won two races after a wind op. Although it struggled in a Grade 1 race recently, it will be back at a more realistic level and could be on a good mark.

A case can be made for all of these but none more so than FUSAIN, who was out of his depth in a Grade 1 at Aintree last time. However, his previous two victories suggest that a mark of 122 may underestimate his ability. Universal Folly scored over hurdles last month and has to be of some interest off the same mark now switched back to fences. Huelgoat is a consistent performer who is likely to be in the mix once again.

UNIVERSAL FOLLY returns to fences off the same mark as when successful over hurdles at Market Rasen last month and gets the vote. Paul Nicholls won this race last year and his Huelgoat is much respected back from a break. Captain Quint is another who should go well.

Preference is for FUSAIN who posted two easy wins in February, and is back in the right company today having taken on Jonbon recently.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

1.88/1 (1) WHATSDASTORY is predicted to do well based on the summary.

SAINTE DOCTOR recorded a first career success over fences at Chepstow earlier in the month and the seven-year-old looks more than capable of completing a brace off only 4lb higher. Whatsdastory has filled the runner-up berth on her last two appearances and is feared most operating off the same mark as last time at Market Rasen. The lightly-raced Feuille De Lune may appreciate this return to 2m4f and is another to note.

SAINTE DOCTOR confirmed the promise of her previous run over fences when opening her account in this sphere at Chepstow 16 days ago and, remaining with handicapping scope on her hurdles form, she could well be up to continuing the good work. Whatsdastory may emerge as the chief threat ahead of Feuille de Lune.

Provided she's just as good in cheekpieces, SAINTE DOCTOR could well follow up her Chepstow win. Whatsdastory is second choice.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, based on the information given, 2.25/1 (1) CHANGEOFMIND and 2.25/1 (5) HIGH OVATION seem to be the most promising contenders. 2.25/1 (1) CHANGEOFMIND scored in fast time on debut and landed a maiden on the sole start at 2 years old, suggesting he has potential to improve. 2.25/1 (5) HIGH OVATION has shown good form on the all-weather and could be a major player if he can transfer that form to turf.

HIGH OVATION is bred to go on the turf being a son of Harry Angel, and recent efforts over further on the all-weather suggest that dropping back in trip could be just what the doctor ordered. Changeofmind had Erosion Risk (third) behind when scoring on debut at Chester last June, but he has not been in action since and this is a tough ask on his return.

The percentage call is to side with HIGH OVATION, who was very well supported when second at Kempton on his second start and benefits from a longer break between outings this time. Changeofmind perhaps retains the most potential having won a Chester maiden cosily on his sole outing last summer and is feared, whilst Erosion Risk is a largely consistent sort and should be able to bounce back to form.

Changeofmind is a nice prospect but likely improver WHALLEY ROAD looks an interesting alternative.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but Sword of Fate seems to have the best recent form with a recent win at Wetherby. However, there are other horses with potential such as 2/1 (2) CORRIGEEN ROCK who has been a progressive novice chaser and Dreams of Home who won this race last year and has dropped down in the weights. It may also be worth considering 4/1 (3) ASHINGTON who ran well on his last chase outing and has versatility.

SWORD OF FATE was an impressive winner at Wetherby earlier in the month and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here, despite a 5lb rise. Ashington hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and cannot be discounted in this company. Corrigeen Rock was disappointing at Ascot when last seen but his previous form is decent and is another to consider.

ASHINGTON is threatening to come good soon and looks on a workable mark back over fences. Last year's winner Dreams of Home may emerge as the biggest threat now he's dropped to a career-low mark.

Ascot last time was disappointing from CORRIGEEN ROCK but this is an easier race and he's enjoyed a fine novice campaign in the main.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (4) BALLYCAMUS and 5/1 (1) EGBERT seem to have the best chance of doing well. 2.25/1 (4) BALLYCAMUS has recently won a race and has shown potential over a longer distance, while 5/1 (1) EGBERT has won a maiden hurdle and seems ready for a longer distance as well. 5.5/1 (2) HARDY FELLA and 4/1 (5) WHAT ABOUT TIME also have a chance, but may not be as strong as 2.25/1 (4) BALLYCAMUS and 5/1 (1) EGBERT. The other horses in the summary seem to have less potential or have not performed well in recent races.

BALLYCAMUS proved a different proposition when winning on the step up in trip over 3m at Newbury last month and Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding may shrug off a 6lb rise in the ratings. Hardy Fella found only a subsequent winner too strong on his handicap debut over 2m5f here earlier in the month and the six-year-old could improve for this stiffer test. Egbert won at this venue on his penultimate start in January and is another who could relish this longer distance.

A few in with a shout but the vote goes to HARDY FELLA, who was unable to live with Norley (easy winner again over fences since) on handicap debut at this track just over 3 weeks ago but looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account over hurdles. Ballycamus won well at Newbury last month so he heads up the dangers, ahead of Egbert, who may well relish this step up to 3m.

The most persuasive option is BALLYCAMUS (nap), who looked in really good nick when scoring at Newbury last month.

This can go the way of SERA DAWN, who proved her liking for soft ground when scoring narrowly at Nottingham recently and a mark of 70 could prove lenient on her handicap debut. Premier Option ran a fine race on his return over C&D and he is likely to be a key player, as well as the hat-trick seeking Doctor Mozart.

DOCTOR MOZART and Sera Dawn appeal as clear stand-outs in this company, with narrow preference for the former, who shouldn't be overfaced by this mark returning to handicap company for his hat-trick bid. Sera Dawn progressed when winning at Nottingham last time and looks to have been allocated a fair opening mark. Premier Option appeals as best of the rest.

Jack Channon's SERA DAWN looks the way to go given she went smoothly when scoring at Nottingham and has what looks a viable mark.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as each one has solid claims and potential for improvement. However, 2/1 (1) MAKIN'YOURMINDUP and 4/1 (4) HITCHING JACKING seem to have the most consistent form and potential for success based on their recent performances. 4.5/1 (5) HURRICANE BAY and 5.5/1 (6) REGAL BLUE also have potential and should be respected, while 6/1 (2) CARNFUNNOCK and 7/1 (3) GIOVINCO may have more to prove at this level. Ultimately, it will come down to the individual horse's ability on the day and how they handle the race conditions.

Makin'yourmindup has improved with each run over hurdles this season and further progress can't be ruled out for Paul Nicholls' charge, but a 5lb penalty may be enough to thwart his bid in landing a fourth career success. A chance could be taken on the lightly-raced REGAL BLUE finding the necessary improvement to land this Listed contest, with the six-year-old creating a good impression when winning on his NH debut at Ffos Las in January. Hitching Jacking and Giovinco are viable alternatives.

HITCHING JACKING shaped as if a step up in trip would suit when an excellent second over 19.9f at Uttoxeter last time and he gets the narrow vote in what looks set to be a well-contested listed event. Makin'yourmindup is a danger and Regal Blue can't be ignored with improvement on the cards.

One of the strongest pieces of form belongs to HURRICANE BAY and he's taken to come out on top. Giovinco is second choice.

5/1 (5) THE WREKIN looks interesting on chase debut as a three-time winner of novice hurdles in 2021 who largely performed well in handicaps subsequently in 2021.

SEIGNEUR DES AS' only career win came over C&D in February and a return to this track is a major plus. The son of It's Gino has performed well over hurdles since at Doncaster and conditions are in his favour as he looks to master the likes of chasing debutant The Wrekin and Hipop Des Ongrais, who bounced back to form with a strong placed effort at Taunton.

HIPOP DES ONGRAIS quickly got back on track when third at Taunton and looks capable of defying this sort of mark. Kabrit is potentially well treated if ready to go after 7 months off so is shortlisted, while it's still early days for Rocky Lake, who is back down in class.

The vote goes to Robert Walford's unexposed chaser HIPOP DES ONGRAIS, who was an eyecatching third when uppped to 2m7f last time.

FORGETMENOTBLUE (third) had Turbulent Power (sixth) well held over this trip on her latest outing at Thirsk on soft ground and, even though she is 3lb worse off at the weights this time, she ought to go very close to getting her head in front. The main danger is Breguet Boy, who showed up well at Southwell on his latest outing when beaten four lengths into third.

Preference is for TURBULENT POWER, who pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago and remains fairly treated. Forgetmenotblue and Pallas Lord head the list of dangers.

Sam England's WE'LL GO AGAIN posted a good chasing second last time and can make a winning return to the Flat.

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (1) PINK LEGEND looks like the most likely contender to do well as she has recently won a handicap at the same course and has a good track record at Cheltenham.

BRIDES HILL wasn't quite ready for Grade 1 level when pulling up at Fairyhouse earlier in the month, but she'd previously looked a mare on the up when winning a similar event to this at Thurles in February and looks to have been found a good opportunity to resume her progress. Pink Legend arrives at the top of her game having won a handicap at Cheltenham on Thursday and rates as an obvious threat, with Kapard making most appeal of the remainder.

PINK LEGEND arrives in fine fettle and can record her third win of the season. Brides Hill will appreciate the drop in grade and looks the obvious danger.

Pink Legend is an admirable mare who is hard to knock but Irish raider BRIDES HILL (nap) looks a serious threat in receipt of 2lb.

5/1 (11) UNANSWERED, Mighty Mo, 12/1 (12) CILLIANS CHARM, and 9/1 (5) BREAD AND BUTTER are the most promising horses based on the summary provided.

LA MALMASON looks to have plenty of scope. This mare has only had three outings and got off the mark on debut at Cork. She was beaten half a length into second when last seen in a rated novice hurdle over a similar trip at this track in January, and that form got a tremendous boost when the winner took a Grade 3 novice hurdle in Thurles on his next start. Unanswered has experience of big fields and is a major contender. He has been placed on his last two starts and was a notable six-length winner of a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in November. He has won at this track before and drying ground will be to his advantage. Liam McKenna's 2lb claim is a bonus. Jessica Harrington's Mighty Mo Missouri could go well off bottom-weight. He is up in trip, but has some decent placed form at Cork, Gowran Park and Naas. Harrington has won two of the last five renewals of this race.

Plenty in with a shout in an ultra-competitive opener, including UNANSWERED. Tony Martin's 6-y-o arrives on the back of solid placed efforts in similar big-field events in recent months and, clearly still on a workable mark, he could well be the way to go. Bread And Butter, starting out for Olly Murphy, La Malmason and Butterflyvespiere are a trio of others to consider, with Cillians Charm another likely capable of better now stepping up in trip.

Very hard to fathom but there could be a bit of value to be had in GOLD SPEED, a previous C&D winner and down to a nice mark

The rest of the field are less likely to feature.

JIKALA looks just the type to improve for going up in trip following a determined success at Hereford last time out, while a mark of 98 looks manageable on her handicap debut. Mrs Kinsella made up some decent late ground to finish third at Hereford last time out and she must enter calculations, along with C&D winner Regal Renaissance. Kalpaga would have a big chance if lining up here following her Ffos Las second on Tuesday.

The most appealing of these is WHENTHEPENNYDROPS, who held every chance when falling at the second-last in a Southwell handicap 2 weeks ago and she will surely go close off the same mark here, provided her confidence hasn't been dented by that tumble. Jikala's stamina has to be taken on trust but she appears to be on the up judged on her Hereford success and, armed with a handy 4-y-o weight allowance now handicapping, a bold show could be on the way. Mrs Kinsella is best of the rest.

Running a big race in first-time cheekpieces before her fall at Southwell a fortnight ago, WHENTHEPENNYDROPS might be the answer here.

Westmorian (third) had Newyorkstateofmind (fourth) a neck behind last time at Wolverhampton, and that form could be reversed with the latter getting a 1lb pull at the weights. However, the vote goes to SPECIAL MAYSON, who should relish conditions once more and was only beaten a length and a half at this track over 7f earlier this month. The son of Mayson won over this trip off a 4lb lower mark in October at Leicester and holds very strong claims.

After 6 months off, SPECIAL MAYSON did well under the circumstances when third here a fortnight ago, racing more towards the centre of the track than the pair that finished ahead of him, so he is taken to build on that effort and gain a second course success. Westmorian returned to form last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Newyorkstateofmind.

Ruth Carr's new recruit NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND is taken to build on the promise of his reappearance Wolverhampton fourth and emerge on top

However, 4/1 (5) STARLYTE and 8/1 (7) MAIMIE'S MAGIC are mentioned as having recently won races and may be worth considering, while 6/1 (1) HOLLY HARTINGO is mentioned as vulnerable under top-weight. 8/1 (8) ROCKONSOPH is also mentioned as having potential if able to build on a recent improved performance. Ultimately, it will come down to each horse's form on the day of the race.

AUTUMN RETURN (fourth) may have been a length and a half behind Notnowlinda (third) in a valuable contest at Kelso last month, but she is taken to overturn that form with the step up in trip expected to suit. Brian Hughes is an eye-catching booking as well and she can see off the likes of Headscarf Lil and Holly Hartingo, who is in need of a revival in form.

This looks pretty trappy and the suggestion is STARLYTE, who acquitted herself well in a higher-grade handicap at Musselburgh last month and both this drop back in trip and 2 lb lower mark will help. Maimie's Magic shouldn't be judged too harshly on her last 2 starts and remains of interest having made a good start in handicaps but Rockonsoph is second choice on the back of a creditable effort at Ayr. Autumn Return is also shortlisted now upped in trip.

This is very open. AUTUMN RETURN looks ready for this longer trip and she's 2-2 under the returning Brian Hughes.

2.75/1 (5) SENIOR CHIEF is predicted to do well in this race, as they have won two out of three runs this season and had a career best win at Navan. They are also described as a promising individual and capable of better, making them a strong contender.

SANDOR CLEGANE brings strong Grade 1 form to this contest. Paul Nolan's Fame And Glory gelding ran third in both a novice hurdle at Leopardstown and the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival. Those races were over further, however, this intermediate trip shouldn't be an issue as he has plenty of form over the minimum trip. Three Card Brag finished over four lengths behind Sandor Clegane in fifth at Cheltenham. He has been particularly effective at this sort of trip, though. A neck second to a subsequent Grade 1 winner at Naas before Christmas stands out. Three Card Brag then went on to win a novice hurdle in Fairyhouse by 12 lengths. He comprehensively defeated Sandor Clegane over an extended 2m at Galway in October. That was on deep ground, though, and drying ground wouldn't be ideal for him. Senior Chief is up in class, but has won his last two races. He's in good hands and can get involved.

SENIOR CHIEF is selected to continue his trend of run-by-run improvement and complete a hat-trick for the Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore partnership. The drop back in trip is a slight concern for Albert Bartlett third and fifth Sandor Clegane and Three Card Brag but they should still have the class to figure. Noel Meade's Nucky Johnson is another unlikely to be too far away.

THREE CARD BRAG was behind Sandor Clegane in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham but can gain his revenge over this trip.

ATJIMA disappointed over further at Taunton last time out, but she is much better judged on the form she showed when scoring at Ffos Las prior to that. She remains on a workable mark and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get back to winning ways. Easy Newcastle winner Our Laura B, as well as Ol'river Shine, look to be her chief threats. Dana's Gem and Iconic Rock are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

OUR LAURA B had something in hand when making a successful start to her handicap career at Newcastle last month and may be able to defy a rise in the weights with the Ben Haslam team continuing in good form. Ol'river Shine and My Virtue both bring unexposed potential to their handicap debuts, while Div Ine Tara might have needed the outing after a break when fading into fourth on her handicap debut and could last longer this time.

Topweight OUR LAURA B travelled strongly and seemed to have quite a bit left in the tank when winning on her handicap debut.

LANGHOLM was only beaten a length into second over C&D on his seasonal return two weeks ago and, with the benefit of that run, the seven-year-old could go one better off the same mark. Milbanke was in good form on the all-weather when last seen in November and merits respect, while Barney's Bay and Miss Britain are others to note.

LANGHOLM was successful second time out last season and may well repeat the dose on the back of a highly encouraging reappearance second over this C&D a fortnight ago. He boasts a good record here and is versatile ground-wise. Milbanke merits respect on the back of his Wolverhampton victory but bigger threats may be posed by Barney's Bay and Brunello Breeze, both of whom figure on tempting marks.

The vote goes to LANGHOLM (nap), who loves this track and ran well in defeat again last time, when it took a career best to beat him.

16:35 Perth Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

6/1 (5) LASTOFTHECOSMICS and 7.5/1 (1) RED MISSILE seem to have the most consistent recent form and could be in with a chance in this open-looking handicap. 3.5/1 (8) SOMETHING GOLDEN also has potential to improve over this new distance and may be worth considering.

FORTCANYON gave the impression that a win may be around the corner when putting in a solid placed effort at Carlisle last month, and he is taken to uphold the form with Lastofthecosmics (second) from there meeting at Newcastle in January when the selection won well. The Lucinda Russell stable continues in fine form and the experienced Lucy Turner is a good asset to have in a contest of this nature aboard Red Missile.

Plenty in with a chance and it could just pay to side with SOMETHING GOLDEN. He's acquitted himself well in hitting the frame all 3 starts in handicaps and, still unexposed granted this sort of test, it would come as no surprise to see him go well from a career-low mark. The selection's stablemate Lastofthecosmics and Fortcanyon head up the dangers, whilst Theirshegoes requires a market check on handicap debut.

Marginal preference is for SOMETHING GOLDEN who remains relatively unexposed as a stayer.

16:40 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to predict with full confidence based on the limited information given, but 1.88/1 (1) SOVEREIGN SPIRIT and 2.25/1 (4) BOOK OF TALES seem like the strongest contenders. 1.88/1 (1) SOVEREIGN SPIRIT has recent form and a fair track record, while 2.25/1 (4) BOOK OF TALES is well-bred and could be a big improver over a longer trip in handicap company. 4.5/1 (5) DUVEEN and 14/1 (3) HIGHLAND FLYER also have some form and potential, but 6/1 (2) LIONELLA seems like more of a long shot.

Duveen had her first crack at this trip last time and was beaten under a length into third at Wolverhampton in this grade. She is likely to remain competitive, but preference goes to SOVEREIGN SPIRIT, who has Oisin Murphy booked. The three-year-old was dropped 2lb from his latest effort at Southwell, when racing wide and staying on well at the finish, and he is fancied to be on the premises once more. Book Of Tales completes the shortlist.

BOOK OF TALES is bred to be a lot better than an opening mark in the 50s and earns the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle on Sovereign Spirit for the first time and Andrew Balding's charge may give the selection most to think about.

The form standard is set by SOVEREIGN SPIRIT and Duveen. The others are open to improvement (check for market moves).

16:45 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as most of them have had mixed performances in their recent races. However, '2.25/1 (4) IMAGINE Course' and '14/1 (5) PERFECT ATTITUDE' have shown consistent form in their recent races and could be considered as major players. Additionally, '10/1 (6) PORT STANLEY' has been a useful chaser and is switching from chase to hurdles, which could work in their favor.

GRANGECLARE WEST can take advantage of a drop in class. He has questions to answer after unplaced efforts at Naas and Leopardstown, however, they were in Grade 1 races. He looked a horse of considerable promise in winning his bumper by a wide margin at this track and then sauntering home in a maiden hurdle at Navan. Imagine wasn't beaten far into fifth in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival. Prior to that, he had three runner-up finishes in-a-row including in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan. He is another horse with a bumper and maiden hurdle in his locker. He is a big player with Danny Gilligan taking 7lb off his back. Tag Man has a chance in receipt of weight from his rivals. The seven-year-old gelding has had the misfortune to run in maiden hurdles won by some very smart sorts. He was placed in two of them and came in fourth in another, and the form is strong. He won a bumper at the Punchestown Festival last year on decent ground.

IMAGINE fared best of the handicap debutants when a very good fifth of 21 in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago and that form is arguably the best on offer. Grangeclare West wasn't up to Grade 1 level the last twice but should make much more of an impact here, while Da Capo Glory could figure if his latest run is forgiven.

If GRANGECLARE WEST returns to his best form he will win this but there is a doubt about him after two lesser runs.

16:53 Ludlow Hunter Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary, 0.67/1 (1) SECRET INVESTOR seems to be the strongest contender for the upcoming race. The summary mentions that he fell early at Cheltenham but is still considered the one to beat at a lower level. He has also had little trouble winning hunter chases at Bangor and Kelso. Although he fell at Cheltenham, he is expected to get back to winning ways if he is not injured.

SECRET INVESTOR didn't make it past the first fence in this sphere at the Cheltenham Festival after bolting up in this company at Kelso on his previous start. The 11-year-old looks to have been found a very straightforward assignment by his trainer Paul Nicholls and is difficult to oppose. Crosspark is his main danger, as he performed with credit when a close-up third at Newbury last time. Solomon Grey rates best of the rest.

SECRET INVESTOR is the class act in this field and should be hard to beat if his fall at Cheltenham hasn't left a mark. Arthur's Sixpence and Crosspark look the main dangers.

This looks good for SECRET INVESTOR who can bounce straight back from his early departure at the Cheltenham Festival.

17:00 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as all of them have either had inconsistent or poor form in their recent races, and there is no clear standout. It would be best to wait for the betting markets to open and see if any of the horses have significant support before making a prediction.

MR JETMAN has shown some promise in novice/maiden company and Grant Tuer's gelding merits plenty of respect on his handicap debut now upped in trip. Smile And Pay was third in a similar event over 6f at Redcar two starts ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Capofan edges out Centerstage to be the pick of the remainder.

CAPOFAN wasn't able to get involved after a slow start on her latest outing, but she'd finished in the frame on her first 2 starts of the year and, with cheekpieces now applied, she could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Smile And Pay had also run well in his first 2 races this season and is feared most, ahead of Mr Jetman.

This trip could prompt improvement from MR JETMAN on his handicap debut and he wouldn't need much of that.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (4) SAUSALITO seems to have the best chances of doing well, having won five races including three at the current course. He also had a solid performance in his last race, finishing second. 7.5/1 (3) PRIDE OF NEPAL also has a good record and could do well on the all-weather track. 6/1 (1) MASQOOL and 7/1 (2) ENDUED are in good form, but their marks and stamina could be a hindrance. 4/1 (6) MOTATAABEQ and 8/1 (5) SEMSER are not discounted but have fewer wins to their name.

Sausalito has been in splendid form this year, winning five of his eight starts, but he has been raised 22lb since the first of those victories, which could give a chance to the Jeremy Scott-trained PRIDE OF NEPAL. The son of The Gurkha ran well off this mark at Goodwood when last seen on the Flat in September, that was a warmer contest than this and, therefore, he could prove too good for these. Motataabeq is best of the remainder.

SAUSALITO has come a long way on all-weather in recent months, winning 5 times prior to a solid second in the All-Weather Vase over further here 3 weeks ago. He shades the vote with Billy Loughnane taking off a handy 5 lb. The returning Motataabeq and the selection's stablemate Semser head up the dangers.

Gary Moore's SAUSALITO is tactically versatile and has been a model of consistency since the visor went on.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Based on the summary, 5.5/1 (8) SALVADOR ZIGGY seems to have the strongest chance of doing well as they have a successful track record this season, including a very good second place in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Additionally, they have won at the course before and are coming off a very smart effort, which suggests they can make their presence felt in a Grade 1 novice.

GAELIC WARRIOR has obvious claims for Willie Mullins. The five-year-old gelding is comfortably highest-rated in this field on a mark of 152. He won three consecutive hurdle races culminating in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in February. He then contested the Grade 1 Ballymore at last month's Cheltenham Festival, and did as well as he could in second behind a stablemate who is out of the top drawer. He had several previous Grade 1 winners in behind him. This step up in trip shouldn't pose an issue. Favori De Champdou disappointed in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham when racing keenly. He had landed three staying races before that, including a Grade 2, and could bounce back. Embassy Gardens was pulled up at Cheltenham, but has plenty of ability and shouldn't be disregarded. Affordale Fury ran some race for a 150/1 outsider when runner-up in the Albert Bartlett. He's certainly a factor on that run, but would prefer slower ground.

GAELIC WARRIOR ran a cracker when second in the Ballymore at Cheltenham and will be a tough nut to crack if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip again. Salvador Ziggy produced an excellent performance under a big weight in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham and can give the selection most to do ahead of Albert Bartlett runner-up Affordale Fury.

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU failed to show his best in the Albert Bartlett but can bounce back today.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well from this summary as they all have different levels of experience and potential. However, 4.5/1 (5) DIAMOND DEALER seems to have a strong pedigree and a successful sole start in points, making him worth a chance to make a winning start under Rules. 8/1 (9) STAY IF U WANT TO also has a promising pedigree and makes plenty of appeal on paper. 9/1 (7) NELSON CRIQ is an interesting newcomer with a useful family history. Ultimately, it will depend on the individual horse's performance on the day of the race.

Not a great deal of form to go on in this contest and, for that reason, newcomer NELSON CRIQ just shades the vote for the Alan King yard. The four-year-old's full-sister Real Milan was a bumper winner, and he could be ready to strike at the first time of asking. Norman Fletcher disappointed at Newbury latest but, if bouncing back, could play a hand in the finish. Any market support for Ballytechno would also be interesting.

DIAMOND DEALER fetched six figures after landing his only start in points and he may well be up to maintaining his unbeaten record on Rules debut. Newcomer Stay If U Want To makes plenty of appeal and Pearl Island warrants consideration with improvement on the cards.

The vote goes to BOUNDARY JACK who should improve on his Market Rasen effort. Stay If U Want To is second choice.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, 2/1 (7) INVERLOCHY and 2.25/1 (2) BELL SONG appear to have the most promising recent form, with both horses finishing well in their respective races. 3.5/1 (1) PASTICHE also has potential, having won a maiden at Southwell and coming from a leading stable, but does have a penalty to overcome. 6.5/1 (10) REGAL FANFARE and 10/1 (11) TIGER BAY have shown some ability in their past races and could improve. 25/1 (8) LABIQA and 33/1 (3) BREAK THE SPELL may need more time or a switch to handicaps to show their potential. 33/1 (5) EXPERT WITNESS and 66/1 (9) MINE THAT SHIP have not shown enough to be considered top contenders. 66/1 (4) DIAMOND HANDS and 100/1 (6) FITZROY RIVER are also unlikely to be major players in this race.

INVERLOCHY was sent off favourite for an extremely warm maiden that has worked out very well at Newmarket in May last year, with seven subsequent winners coming out of it. She is a half-sister to recent Earl Of Sefton winner Ottoman Fleet and should appreciate the step up to 7f. Last-time-out winner Pastiche carries a 7lb penalty, which makes life tougher, but she could have more to come. Regal Fanfare is another to note.

BELL SONG showed promise behind a couple of useful colts at Southwell earlier this month and could be the way to go with further improvement on the cards. Inverlochy hasn't been seen since her Newmarket debut fourth last May but the fact she went off favourite suggests she's quite well regarded and it will be interesting to see if her supporters return back from a lay-off. Regal Fanfare could easily leave last November's debut effort well behind and also makes the shortlist.

There should be improvement to come from INVERLOCHY. Southwell winner Pastiche is second choice, ahead of Bell Song.

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS is hard to oppose and should end his season on a high. The Timos gelding was a brilliant winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month, powering clear after the last to beat Bravemansgame by seven lengths. The English raider got the go ahead the other day to take his place here, but it's hard to see him turning the tables. Aside from his mishap at Cheltenham last year, Galopin Des Champs hasn't really been seriously challenged since going over fences and looks a class apart. Envoi Allen bounced back to form when landing the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham and stays this trip, having won at Down Royal earlier in the campaign. He's very talented on his day but it would be a bit of a shock if he was able to lower the colours of Galopin Des Champs.

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS confirmed himself at the top of the chasing tree when putting up one of the best performances in the Gold Cup in recent years when beating Bravemansgame by 7 lengths and he can end the season with another Grade 1 success. Bravemansgame can follow him home again, with Ryanair winner Envoi Allen best of the others.

A rematch between the Cheltenham Gold Cup principals. GALOPIN DES CHAMPS is expected to confirm form with Bravemansgame

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (8) BURABACK and 5.5/1 (6) TASKHEER seem like strong contenders with their recent wins and good performances. 8/1 (12) INAAM also has a good track record with three course wins this year and a creditable third place in the latest race. 7/1 (13) SWISS ROWE and 12/1 (7) LUNA QUEEN also have a chance, but their higher odds suggest they may need to perform exceptionally well to win. The other horses, including 25/1 (10) NEFARIOUS and 33/1 (14) PURPLE POPPY, seem less likely to win based on their recent form.

The veteran INAAM has a terrific recent record around here and there is no reason to suggest why he can't continue in that vein as he looks to make it four wins in his last seven starts. Taskheer has done it well over further the last twice, including here last month, and he is likely to be thereabouts, along with Luna Queen and Swiss Rowe.

Plenty in with a squeak but BURABACK found life easier dropped in grade when fourth at Southwell 8 days, and with this being just his third outing for Mick Appleby, he gets the verdict to notch career success number 4 with the booking of Oisin Murphy catching the eye. The Nail Gunner's last effort is easy to excuse so he may emerge as the main danger, ahead of Bear To Dream and the hat-trick-seeking Taskheer.

Inaam and Taskheer are high on the list but BURABACK may be able to strike at the second time of asking for his new stable.

The summary states that the horse is unbeaten in four outings and has recently won the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham by 1 ¼ lengths from Fact To File. The summary also suggests that 1.25/1 (1) A DREAM TO SHARE is

Willie Mullins has dominated this race in recent years and it's interesting that Patrick Mullins sides with the Gowran winner TULLYHILL. There was plenty of buzz about the Martaline gelding before his racecourse debut last month and he looked very smart when winning without coming off the bridle. The runner-up went on to frank that form and Mullins spoke very highly of the grey afterwards. Obviously on the book A Dream To Share is the one to beat after his Cheltenham success. He was a good winner of the Champion Bumper and had a few of these in behind that day. It wouldn't be a surprise if It's For Me got a bit more involved now. He was held up well off the pace last month before staying on to finish fifth and was reported to have run too freely.

A DREAM TO SHARE had something to spare when landing the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and he's a fairly straightforward selection as he bids to take another Grade 1 event. Tullyhill was hugely impressive when making a successful Rules debut at Gowran, so he looks the main threat ahead of his stablemate Rath Gaul Boy, who was second the selection when last seen at Tipperary 11 months ago.

Unbeaten in four, A DREAM TO SHARE can make it five here, with Tullyhill selected to chase him home

It is difficult to make a clear prediction as the summary provides limited information on each horse's form and capabilities. However, 1.88/1 (1) GRANARY QUEEN seems to have had recent success and has a good track record, making her a potential contender. 3/1 (2) WINDSOR PASS also had a strong performance on their stable debut and could be worth considering. 4.5/1 (5) WADACRE GRACE has won two of her last three races and may benefit from familiar conditions. Ultimately, further research and analysis would be necessary to make an informed prediction.

GRANARY QUEEN has been knocking on the door of late and on each occasion she has given the impression that she would be well served by stepping back up in trip. The C&D winner gets that opportunity now and she is preferred to the likes of Newcastle runner-up Windsor Pass and Wadacre Grace, who has only gone up 2lb for winning over this trip at Newcastle 23 days ago.

GRANARY QUEEN needs things to just drop right but ran really well on the back of 4 months off when third over 7f here 3 weeks ago and she gets the narrow vote from a 1 lb higher mark. Windsor Pass, who also ran well on the back of a lengthy absence, and Newcastle-scorer Wadacre Grace are others to consider.

Windsor Pass ran a fine race on her stable debut but GRANARY QUEEN also caught the eye last time and she gets the vote.

Stepping up in trip again should suit HA D'OR and he can make a winning start in handicaps. The French-bred gelding has been keeping good company in novices and wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Arkle at Cheltenham last month. He had been a good winner over this trip on his chase debut at Fairyhouse back in December, beating a decent sort in The Goffer. Lieutenant Command was a good winner of a competitive event at Leopardstown early last month and could be a big player here despite a 6lb rise for that victory. Ilikedwayurthinkin was third in that Leopardstown contest and on revised terms he looks another for the shortlist.

HA D'OR was out of his depth in the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival but his opening mark is a fair one on the pick of his form so he could be the answer. Ilikedwayurthinkin took a step back in the right direction in this headgear when third at Leopardstown and rates the main threat ahead of Andy Dufresne, who failed to meet expections in the Grand Annual.

Out of depth in the Arkle, HA D'OR (nap makes plenty of appeal here on his handicap debut based on his Fairyhouse novice win

The other horses, including 10/1 (5) LIBERTUS, 16/1 (2) ALAFDHAL, 50/1 (11) KNOCKOUT BLOW, and 66/1 (1) MAMILLIUS, seem less likely to win based on recent form or other factors. It's important to note that upsets can and do happen in horse racing, so anything is possible.

GOLD MEDAL made a winning seasonal/stable debut over C&D a month ago and a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him here. That said, the unexposed Cool Lightning and Bobby On The Beat are also recent winners and they could give him plenty to think about. Others to note are Bezzas Lad, Lilkian and El Hombre.

GOLD MEDAL made a successful start for his new stable over C&D last month and looks up to defying a rise for all that it's a competitive race for the grade. Cool Lightning is an obvious danger and another solid showing is expected from Lilkian

The rest of the horses either have to find significant improvement or have too many question marks for a strong prediction.

FUN FUN FUN never got involved in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last month but gets the vote back against her own sex here. The Martaline mare had been a very impressive winner of a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival previously and would be hard to beat on that form. Slightly better going now should help. Willie Mullins saddles five in the race and the selection's stablemate Junta Marvel could be a danger. She made a good impression when scoring on her debut at Limerick last month when the front pair pulled nicely clear. Miss Agusta was no match for the impressive Tiger Bay Queen in a listed contest at Fairyhouse but it was still a solid run and she is entitled to be thereabouts again.

FUN FUN FUN looked highly promising when winning her first two starts and she can be forgiven her run at the Cheltenham Festival, so she's fancied to resume winning ways at the likely expense of stablemate Junta Marvel. who is open to improvement. Cuta Des As, another Willie Mullins-trained entry, is another one to consider.

Fun Fun Fun sets the standard but is opposed with stablemate JUNTA MARVEL who impressed in a Limerick bumper on debut.

SPARKED bounced back to form when only beaten a neck into second over C&D last week and she is hard to oppose off the same mark here. Mews House has not been disgraced on either start this year and is an obvious threat to the selection. Storm Melody edges out Reversion and Tilsworth Ony Ta to be the pick of the remainder.

SPARKED stepped up markedly on her reappearance and perhaps would have won with an unimpeded run over C&D last week. She can make amends at the main expense of Mews House and Storm Melody.

Last week's C&D handicap in which SPARKED (nap) finished in front of Storm Melody and I'm Mable may prove the key formline.

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.
