13:15 Leopardstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Irish Derby entrant AUTUMN WINTER can get his three-year-old career off to a winning start. The twice-raced son of Galileo stepped up on his debut effort when runner-up in a big field Curragh maiden on his second run. This looks a good opportunity to get his head in front for the first time. Versatile showed ability on his sole outing as a juvenile when finishing fourth in his maiden at the Curragh. The Jessica Harrington-trained colt should be all the better for that initial experience so has to rate as one of the main threats. Fine Print, who finished mid-division in two runs for Ger Lyons last season, now starts out for John McConnell. Although his future may lie in handicaps, he does have the advantage of previous experience to call upon.

Newcomer THEQUIETMAN will need to perform to a decent level if he's to get the better of experienced colts Autumn Winter and Versatile, but the son of Farhh certainly ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and the aforementioned rivals do not set an insurmountable standard. If there is confidence behind Joseph O'Brien's representative in the betting, all the better. Autumn Winter, who holds an entry in the Irish Derby, is feared most ahead of the promising Versatile.

Having shown enough ability in his two starts last year to suggest that he can win a maiden, AUTUMN WINTER is the selection.

(8) Quadruple 13/2, Once-raced filly. 5/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut in November. This Frankel filly is open to improvement and should have a part to play.

Definite promise at two for Barry Fitzgerald, good start for new yard when second at Navan.

13:45 Leopardstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having finished runner-up at Naas last month on her first start for Dermot Weld, HARBOUR GEM can shed her maiden status on just her second outing for the yard. Placed on both runs for Barry Fitzgerald last term, the daughter of Zoffany shouldn't be long in gaining a first success. The Jim Bolger-trained Nativity Square is only a pound behind Harbour Gem on official ratings. The Vocalised filly faced a stiff task when only fourth in a winners' race last time but will be much more at home in these calmer waters. Wingspan, out of a dual Group 1-winning mare, has to be respected on her racecourse debut. Although she holds no fancy entries at this point, she could be one that comes to life on the track.

There's an awful lot to like about the Ballydoyle newcomer WINGSPAN on paper, for all that she doesn't hold any fancy entries at this stage. Needless to say it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour and, if so, the hint should be taken. That said, she will need to go a bit in order to lower the colours of Harbour Gem, who shaped well both starts for Barry Fitzgerald at 2 yrs and again when runner-up on recent debut for new yard at Naas. Quadruple is third on the list.

The experience gained by HARBOUR GEM may prove crucial, especially since her ability to cope with the conditions is not in question.

Never out of the first three in ten starts; up in grade but has less to prove than many.

13:58 Bath Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

BET ME showed plenty of promise when third over a mile at Kempton last month and the step up in trip, along with a first-time hood, could see the four-year-old return to winning ways. City Streak has continually improved over the last couple of seasons and has to be respected on his seasonal bow, while Champagne Piaff and Miss Dolly Rocker are others who merits a place on the shortlist.

MISS DOLLY ROCKER ended last year with a ready win at Kempton in November and that form looks solid. She's run well at this track before and can defy a 5 lb rise. City Streak's final start last season is best forgiven given his positive profile so he may emerge as the main threat, though the one-time smart Tasman Bay has been given a chance by the handicapper back with his former yard.

The one with the least to prove on balance is MISS DOLLY ROCKER. The filly is up in grade but on ground she handles.

14:12 Carlisle Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Stuart Crawford landed this contest last year and he ran repeat the feat with the returning GOLD CUP BAILLY, who was last seen finishing down the field in a valuable handicap chase on Aintree Grand National day last year. Going back over hurdles should not inconvenience the son of Turgeon and he is preferred to The Big Jetaway and Milcree, who should be suited by the step up in trip, having stayed on to go very close over 2m1f at Newcastle last month.

A likely match between MILCREE and useful chaser Gold Cup Bailly, with marginal preference for the former who looks sure to go on improving, especially now stepping back up in trip.

Talented chaser Gold Cup Bailly is returning from an absence and preference is for the promising and lightly raced MILCREE.

14:20 Leopardstown Group 3 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Leopardstown Group 3 winner ATLANTIC COAST can make a winning return at a track he clearly appreciates. Successful on his racecourse debut at the Curragh last August, the colt subsequently ran a big race when third in Group 2 company at this venue. Madrid Handicap winner Take Me To Church steps up markedly in grade but shouldn't be underestimated given ground conditions. Not only has the Jack Davison-trained colt proven himself when the mud is flying, he also has the benefit of a recent run. With Ryan Moore in the saddle, Battle Cry appears the pick of the three Aidan O'Brien contenders in this race. A York maiden winner in August, the colt subsequently ran well in two outings in Listed company. He needs to improve but has plenty of scope so is certainly capable of doing so.

TAKE ME TO CHURCH looks ready for this step up in class judged on his impressive handicap debut success at Naas and he is taken to complete the four-timer. There wasn't much between Atlantic Coast and Bright Stripes in the Killavullan Stakes here during the autumn and they should be on the premises once again, while The Liffey could be the pick of the Ballydoyle trio, despite being passed over by Ryan Moore in favour of Battle Cry.

With the benefit of race-fitness, the very impressive Madrid Handicap winner TAKE ME TO CHURCH can continue his progress.

14:25 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

HOWAYA NOW was second over 3m1f at Hereford when last seen and a reproduction of that level of form could see the six-year-old get off the mark, despite the drop in trip. Anytrixwilldo was well held when runner-up over 2m4f at Market Rasen a couple of weeks ago but he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Worldwide Fury.

ANYTRIXWILLDO got back on track when second at Market Rasen 18 days ago and could yet build on the abundant promise of his Chepstow debut given his lightly-raced profile, so he earns the vote over the more exposed Howaya Now. Irish point winner Worldwide Fury makes a quick switch to hurdling in a first-time tongue strap and can't be dismissed, either.

The percentage call is HOWAYA NOW who has threatened to shed his maiden status on more than one occasion.

14:33 Bath Maiden (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HAYA confirmed the promise that she showed on debut when chasing home a talented rival on her second start at Newmarket in September. Andrew Balding's filly may progress further this year and just gets the vote in an open contest. Star Jasmine hit the crossbar on both starts at Newcastle last month and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Painite has a similar profile and cannot be discounted.

HAYA was beaten only by a useful sort in a Newmarket novice in September so sets a good standard. Painite and Star Jasmine both remain with potential having finished second in a couple of similar events so need considering, too.

She does not have the best form but perhaps race fitness will count for STAR JASMINE. The other principals are Haya and Painite.

14:47 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Now that TRAC has regained the winning thread with a taking performance at Newcastle last month, there should be plenty more to come from Micky Hammond's charge and a 7lb rise in the weights may not be enough to halt him here. Netywell arrives on a four-timer but will find life tougher off a career-high mark, while Travail D'Orfevre (second) has six lengths to make up with him from their recent clash at Ayr but the latter enjoys a huge swing in the weights with that rival today.

Plenty hold claims in this Series Final and it could well be worth chancing FIA FUINIDH. He needs to dispel a couple of lesser efforts at Ayr in February but he's on a workable mark on the pick of his form over fences and this drop back in trip rates a likely plus. Dangers aplenty are headed up by Travail d'Orfevre, Netywell and Trac in a competitive affair.

Topweight NETYWELL (nap) thrived in the winter and he can exploit his class edge and make it four in a row. Trac is second choice.

14:55 Leopardstown Group 3 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although Ryan Moore has sided with course and distance winner Buttons, the vastly more experienced CHERRY BLOSSOM should take beating. The No Nay Never filly should appreciate this much easier task having contested Group 1 races on her final two outings as a juvenile. Jockey bookings certainly suggest that she may need this first start since November but her prospects look strong all the same. The aforementioned Buttons must be pleasing connections at home so is high on the shortlist in this ultra competitive heat. Kitty Rose, a Listed winner at this venue last September, subsequently ran well in a Group 3 at the Curragh. Having won on her juvenile debut at Naas last term, the Natalia Lupini-trained filly is obviously a forward type.

The vote goes to A LILAC ROLLA, who made it 2-2 when narrowly getting the better of Opera Singer at the Curragh in August, form which now looks seriously good in light of the latter's subsequent exploits, which include a very impressive performance in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp. Opera Singer's stablemate Buttons, who Ryan Moore prefers to Cherry Blossom and two others from the O'Brien yard, is feared most. Kitty Rose and Wendla need considering, too.

Joe Murphy has good prospects here with ALPHERATZ who has the benefit of a run under her belt and handles heavy ground

BEHIND THE CURTAIN relished the return to hurdles when winning at big odds over 2m5f at Wincanton 11 days ago and the 10-year-old is hard to oppose off just a 4lb higher mark here. Rivers Corner's winning run came to an end when third at Newcastle last time but he was not disgraced on that occasion and cannot be discounted. Others to note are Bobo Mac and Malago Rose.

BLACKACRE remains lightly-raced granted this sort of test and ran his best race yet when runner-up at Fontwell 3 weeks ago, making his effort from further back than ideal in a falsely-run race. He could just be worth chancing to build on that in a wide-open contest from such a lowly mark. Recent-winner Bobo Mac and in-form Rivers Corner head up the dangers, with Behind The Curtain and Jemura completing the shortlist.

Sprightly teenager BOBO MAC kept on strongly to fend off a next-time-out winner at Ffos Las in February and is only 4lb higher here.

15:08 Bath Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ADAAY IN DEVON was far from disgraced when fourth against older rivals in the Listed Cammidge Trophy over 6f at Doncaster last month and Rod Millman's filly could be hard to stop in this company on the back of that performance. Equity Law showed plenty of ability as a juvenile and has to be interest on his return to action following a gelding operation, while similar comments apply to Hedge Fund.

ADAAY IN DEVON was a prolific scorer in her juvenile campaign and made a pleasing return in the Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster last time, so gets the nod to resume winning ways dropped into handicap company. Equity Law proved this mark a workable one when a good third at Sandown on his final start last season and is also respected, whilst Macanudo shaped better than result at Lingfield last time and also holds claims.

An ability to handle conditions may prove more signficant than handicap marks and ADAAY IN DEVON is preferred to Hedge Fund.

Not hard pressed to notch another success at Sedgefield (26.9f, heavy, 9/2) last month and he's not discounted, for all jumping remains a concern.

15:22 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A winner of two of his last three starts here and an impressive winner at Newcastle on his latest outing, HELLO JUDGE continues to improve and a 7lb rise for that latest victory may still underestimate him. Jet Legs won over further here on his penultimate start and could be suited by dropping markedly in trip, whereas Carrigeen Castle arrives on the back of an easy success at Wetherby for which he has been raised a hefty 10lb. Others to note include Coolkill, Deep Charm and William Of York.

A competitive affair, with WILLIAM OF YORK fancied to complete the hat-trick after recent wins at Doncaster and Carlisle. Hello Judge, runner-up to the selection on the latter of those victories, has since won again himself and can give another good account, with Monochromix and Jet Legs completing the shortlist.

The Rebecca Menzies-trained WILLIAM OF YORK is 2-2 in the cheekpieces and earns the vote ahead of Jet Legs.

15:30 Leopardstown Group 3 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ILLINOIS looks the pick of the Ballydoyle trio with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Rated 109 after a juvenile campaign which saw him follow up his maiden win at the Curragh with a creditable third in Group 1 company at Saint-Cloud. Given the strength in depth that Aidan O'Brien has in this division, it is surely significant that the Galileo colt makes his return in a race the yard have dominated over the years. Ocean Of Dreams couldn't have done it any easier when winning his maiden over this course last October. Stepping up in trip should bring about further improvement in the once-raced son of Fastnet Rock. The Paddy Twomey-trained Deepone has to concede 5lb to his rivals here but is a classy sort capable of running a big race.

OCEAN OF DREAMS has been passed over by Ryan Moore in favour of Illinois, but it's worth noting that two of the last four Aidan O'Brien-trained winners of this were supposedly stable second-strings. The Fastnet Rock colt was most impressive when winning his maiden here during the autumn and he gets the nod. Illinois did little wrong in his two starts as a juvenile, latterly finishing third in a French Group 1, and he is greatly respected. The penalised Deepone also has claims.

Deepone has to concede 5lb and ILLINOIS(nap) can be the one to take advantage. His third in a Group 1 last year is high-class form.

15:35 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 31f Race Class Flow

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

The Galloping Bear has to be of interest following an encouraging effort at Ffos Las a week ago, but marginal preference is for NO HUBS NO HOOBS. Joe Tizzard's gelding arrives here on the back of two impressive victories over 3m1f at Wincanton in recent months and a 7lb rise for the most recent of those wins may still underestimate him. The shortlist is completed by Enjoy Your Life and Musical Slave.

THE GALLOPING BEAR returned to form when runner-up off this mark at Ffos Las last week and a repeat of that performance could well be enough. No Hubs No Hoobs has thrived since fitted with blinkers but he does have stamina to prove as he bids for the hat-trick.

The answer might be CONKWELL LEGEND, who looked the most likely winner before falling in the home straight over 3m here in February.

15:43 Bath Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Even with the burden of top-weight, KERDOS may prove tough to stop dropping back into handicap company. Clive Cox's speedball was last seen finishing a creditable eight (of 18) over 5f in the Group 1 Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp in October and although this rating of 107 is no 'gimme', he looks to have a class edge over his rivals. Silky Wilkie finished a close second behind the selection at Beverley last September and now finds himself considerably better off at the weights, but his more recent form leaves something to be desired. Desperate Hero may have been feeling the effects of a long season when disappointing at Doncaster in October, and he is respected on his return.

A good quality contest and it could be worth chancing SILKY WILKIE. He's not been operating at his best on all-weather since the turn of the year but his mark has fallen as a result and, returned to turf with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb, he may well be seen in a better light. Democracy Dilemma, returned to these shores, and Kerdos are others to consider, with Glorious Angel also in the mix following her good Pontefract second earlier in the week.

Glorious Angel has conditions to suit and is in form but KERDOS may be able to defy top weight en route to Group races.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Heritier De Sivola completed his hat-trick when repelling the challenge of a game Camp Belan (second) at Hexham 16 days ago and both must enter calculations today, but WHOSMYDADDY shades preference. Sandy Thomson's gelding has made a seamless transition to the larger obstacles, winning both starts with relative ease, and a 7lb rise for the latest of those might not be enough to stop him. Others to note include Breeze Of Wind and Uptown Harry.

Loads with chances but the low-mileage WHOSMYDADDY appeals as one who could have plenty more to come so he gets the nod. Breeze of Wind, Heritier de Sivola and Tom Cody head the many possible dangers.

The progressive and prolific 7yo BREEZE OF WIND can score once more. Whosmydaddy is 2-2 over fences and feared most.

16:05 Leopardstown Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien is a trainer to fear when running lightly raced three-year-olds in handicaps. With that in mind, Irish Derby entrant CHANTILLY catches the eye here off a mark of 89. The Galileo colt reached the frame in three maidens last term but always gave the impression he would be a better horse given time. It would be no surprise to see him rated much higher come the end of the season. Top-weight Tamrat made an impressive winning debut at the Curragh last before disappointing at Listowel subsequently. That latter run was almost certainly not his true form so he remains capable of better. Masoun could be the potential dark horse having had just the three starts in maidens. He has since been gelded and now steps up in distance on his handicap debut.

This looks ripe for CHANTILLY, who was a shade below par when third in a big-field maiden at the Curragh on his latest start in November but this Galileo colt may well have more to offer now faced with a stiffer test and pitched into handicap company. Masoun failed to trouble the judge in three runs last season but he has the look of a potential improver now handicapping and, given doubts surrounding Surfers Paradise on account of the forecast conditions, he could be the main danger.

Having shown up well in two maidens before disappointing on his final start, CHANTILLY can score for his top yard.

16:10 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

The Jeremy Scott stable can do little wrong at present and this looks like a perfect opportunity for KING OF THE LAKE to finally get off the mark. Runner-up on two of his last three starts at this venue, including last time out over further, the six-year-old gets the vote ahead of Newbury third Imperial Saint and Donnacha, who has long shaped as though a rise in distance would suit and kept on for second over shorter here on his latest start.

DONNACHA remains well treated and might be up to gaining a third win of a good season. Imperial Saint can continue his good start to his hurdle career and give Nigel Hawke's charge most to think about.

Bar his blip in the Betfair Hurdle, it's been a solid season for DONNACHA (nap) and this stiffer stamina test looks a good move.

16:18 Bath Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CHRISTIAN DAVID still looked very much a work in progress last season and it was a testament to his ability that he managed to win in a minor event over 7f at Lingfield when last seen in October. Now making his handicap debut for a yard that have been among the winners of late, he can show his rivals a clean pair of heels. Galloping On finished an admirable second off this mark at Lingfield in January, but he will need to step up on that effort if he is to get his head in front today, while Aragon Castle completes the shortlist for the in-form Andrew Balding team.

GALLOPING ON found only a more experienced rival too strong at Lingfield in January and, having been gelded since, he can take a step forward in first-time cheekpieces to get off the mark. Christian David is also open to progress on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of Aragon Castle.

It looks as if CHRISTIAN DAVID may be open to most improvement. Aragon Castle and Bill's Baar have run well on testing ground.

16:32 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Two For Gold posted a much-improved effort when filling the runner-up spot in a first-time tongue-tie at Ascot a fortnight ago and, though he merits respect from 2lb higher, genuine heavy ground might not be what the veteran wants nowadays. With that in mind, ASK ME EARLY, who struggled in the Midlands National at Uttoxeter having bolted up over 3m at Exeter on his previous start, might be the answer now eased in trip. Omar Maretti can chase the pair home.

ELVIS MAIL won off this mark at Kelso on his reappearance and can return to winning ways dropped to a veterans' event for the first time. Two For Gold responded well to a tongue strap when a close second at Ascot 2 weeks ago so is feared most ahead of Ask Me Early, who will find this less demanding than the Midlands National.

Course specialist HOUSTON TEXAS hasn't been at his best on his last few starts but the first-time cheekpieces could trigger a revival.

16:40 Leopardstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With Dylan Browne McMonagle back in the saddle, TURBULENCE catches the eye towards the foot of the weights. The former champion apprentice was also on board when the Ross O'Sullivan-trained seven-year-old finished runner-up at Naas last season. Having run a big race when fourth of 19 on his reappearance at this venue first time up in 2023, the gelding is clearly at his best in the early months. Rhythm King will absolutely relish these ground conditions as the Mark Fahey-trained four-year-old loves to get his toe in. He will be finishing better than most. Sirjack Thomas is race-fit and the Ado McGuinness-trained grey is another that should make his presence felt.

This looks wide open and it could be worth chancing TURBULENCE, who has yet to add to his maiden success back in 2021 but he is on a tempting mark judged on several pieces of subsequent handicap form. The consistent Perfect Poise will be a threat if fully tuned-up, while handicap debutant Come On The Lads, Mowgli and French import Belles Feuilles are others to consider.

The very experienced MOGWLI has helped provide valuable experience to young riders, one of whom may reap the reward now.

WHATSDASTORY still looked to be going well when unseating her rider on the final bend before three out at Wincanton last time out. That was the 11-year-old's third start for new connections and she is now 12lb lower than for her last victory, which may be enough to help her see off Desert Fortune, who must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form of her penultimate second at Leicester. Cooleenymore and Head And Heart are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

WHATSDASTORY was still going well in second when stumbling and unseating at Wincanton 11 days ago, so she could be ready to take advantage of her reduced mark this time around. Head And Heart also drops in grade and is feared most, with C&D winner Kingsmill Gin completing the shortlist.

Lightly raced 8yo INCHAGOILL LADY seemed to have benefited enormously from a wind op when placed over C&D on her chasing debut.

16:53 Bath Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

PLATINUM JUBILEE justified market support when scoring a shade cosily over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month and, upped 3lb for this debut for new connections, she holds every chance of bringing up the double here. The combination of the ease in grade and step up in trip can see Measured Moments emerge as the main danger to the selection, while Loughville didn't fire when sent off a warm order on her first start since undergoing wind surgery at Chelmsford last month, but clearly better was expected and she shouldn't be overlooked.

A competitive handicap. BIG BEAR HUG was 3¼ lengths behind the reopposing Destinado at Doncaster last month but Adam West's mare is entitled to come on for that first outing of the season and might be able to turn the tables on 6 lb better terms. Abu Royal and Cavalluccio head the many possible dangers.

The selection is BIG BEAR HUG to win by reversing his Doncaster placings with Destinado on the revised terms.

17:05 Carlisle NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Having been on target at Uttoxeter on his racecourse bow, Gamesters Guy was far from disgraced under a penalty at Aintree next time. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's charge ought to be on the premises once again, but in receipt of 7lb, HELSGETAWAY might prove too strong. The son of Getaway was only denied by half a length when runner-up at Newcastle in December and this represents a fine opportunity to go one better. Any market support should be noted for the Nicky Richards-trained Robby ahead of his debut.

HELSGETAWAY sets the standard on his second at Newcastle last time and, with the scope for better still, he might be the one to side with over Gamesters Guy, the only winner in the field. Robby is comfortably the most appealing of the newcomers.

Having kept on well for a close second at Newcastle on his second start, the uphill finish should prove ideal for HELSGETAWAY.

17:12 Leopardstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STARTING MONDAY has a bit to prove now having disappointed on a couple of occasions last season but it is difficult to ignore his claims off a mark of 62. The Gillian Scott-trained seven-year-old relishes testing conditions and has run well fresh on a couple of occasions in the past. If anywhere near his best, the Ravens Pass gelding will prove a hard horse to get by in the straight. Spring Collection showed next to nothing in four starts at Dundalk but the filly looked a totally different proposition switched to turf last time. Staying on strongly to finish runner-up at Naas, the daughter of Postponed should appreciate the mile. See Me Through is a lightly raced colt capable of improving on a very promising handicap debut last time.

Having shaped really well on his handicap debut at the Curragh last month, SEE ME THROUGH makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Spring Collection took a significant step forward when just touched off at Naas recently and she will be a big threat if able to build on that. An on-song Starting Monday would be in with a serious chance, too, while Rock Etoile is also shortlisted.

If building on a much-improved performance on her turf debut at Naas a fortnight ago SPRING COLLECTION should be hard to beat

17:18 Exeter NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

An impressive winner of a point-to-point flat race at Larkhil in February, PYLEIGH MASTER is a half-brother to the capable Go Steady and he should have plenty of improvement to come. Locked Down Lad arrives with similar claims after scoring between the flags first time out at Milborne St Andrew, while Prophesea needs to prove he can handle the drop in trip but warrants respect after landing a 2m4f point-to-point last month.

This is really tricky without the benefit for market clues but GO JOHNNY GO arrives with a solid record in point bumpers and takes marginal preference over Prophesa, who was also successful on his last start in that sphere. Pyleigh Master is also of interest but it's an open race.

Joshua Newman rode both GO JOHNNY GO and Mount Mason to their recent wins so that's a pointer to the selection.

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

THORNABY PEARL returned to action with an all-the-way success at Doncaster a fortnight ago and, with Mia Nicholls' 5lb claim negating most of the 7lb rise he incurred for that victory, he might be tough to beat. That said, Sir Benedict arrives following two victories on Southwell's Tapeta surface and he must be respected back on the grass, along with Willingly, who looks set to relish forecast conditions as she returns from a 156-day absence. Port Noir is also noted.

THORNABY PEARL returned at the very top of his game when scoring in good style on his reappearance at Doncaster 2 weeks ago and will take a bit of stopping if turning up here in similar form. Sir Benedict and Port Noir head the opposition.

Cheekpieces have had a positive effect on SIR BENEDICT and he is taken to complete his hat-trick.

Ron Harris' charge landed a fillies' handicap on this card a year ago from a 9lb higher mark and with conditions in her favour, including a low draw, she looks sure to mount a stern challenge. Four Adaay has a solid record when fresh and she must be considered from a competitive rating, while Danzart, who had excuses at Doncaster last time out, should not be underestimated.

FOUR ADAAY drops in grade and she's made a successful reappearance in the past so, in a race where most have something to prove, she could be the one to side with. One Hart is liable to bounce back from a poor run, so he's considered, while Sugar Hill Babe is another one who could return to form.

This may well be best left to SARAH'S VERSE (nap) staging the sort of revival which brought her wins at this meeting in 2021 and 2023.

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.
