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

Borodale was somewhat of a fortuitous winner when being left in the lead at the final hurdle at Chepstow in January. The Flemensfirth gelding has the stamp of a chaser and he must warrant consideration now tackling fences. However, GREAT SAMOURAI has posted two solid efforts in defeat in this sphere, as evidenced at Huntingdon and at this venue last month, and the seven-year-old rates a more solid proposition. A wind procedure may have rejuvenated Man Again and any market support would be interesting.

GREAT SAMOURAI made an encouraging start to life with a new yard when second to a subsequent winner here 5 weeks ago and can go one better off the same mark. Chasing-newcomer Borodale may emerge as the biggest threat ahead of Begin The Luck.

Duke Of Luckley can go well back from a break but GREAT SAMOURAI may be the answer on the back of a good stable debut.

13:50 Tipperary Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BRAVE FORTUNE has good recent form. He has run well in each of his four starts todate, winning his point-to-point easily last October and from his Thurles race last-time-out, the winner, runner-up and fifth-placed horses have each scored subsequently. Recoded ran well when beaten three and a half lengths by Staffordshire Knot and while he conceded 5lb the that recently-Grade 1-placed winner, hasn't run since and had previously been beaten in a Carlisle hurdle. Pour Les Filles is a point-to-point and bumper winner who ran well in a Grade 2 bumper last April. He nonetheless appeared green on Punchestown hurdles' debut (at one point jumping a pathway) and while he ran well, is absent since and now concedes a winners' penalty. Nas Na Riogh finished three lengths ahead of Park The Giant at Navan last December and while both are useful, might find this maiden too strong. Galway festival bumper winner Fortunate Lighting is probably best watched on her reappearance and hurdles' debut. Too Knov also faces a tough task while Depalma showed some promise on debut.

It was a decent maiden hurdle in which POUR LES FILLES was a promising third on his hurdles debut at Punchestown when last seen in October and he may well find the necessary improvement to see off the likes of Nas Na Riogh, Park The Giant and Brave Fortune (in order of preference). Indeed, Gordon Elliott's charge achieved a useful level of form in bumpers (wasn't beaten far in a Grade 2 event at Aintree last spring) and he is not short of potential. Toor Khov also enters calculations.

PARK THE GIANT has 3l to find with Nas Na Riogh from their clash at Navan but he bettered that effort since and is selected.

MEDICIAN STAR wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut at Lingfield 13 days ago and, likely to have come on for the run, the son of Galileo Gold heads the shortlist off the same mark here. Ready Or Nott is another with the potential to progress from a workable mark, while Serendipitous Lady, a former stablemate of the selection, commands respect as a previous course winner who can make further strides on turf this season.

MEDICIAN STAR showed much-improved form despite looking rough around the edges when third at Lingfield a fortnight ago and, sure to build on that, he makes plenty of appeal. Magic Rascal represents a yard with an excellent record with similar types so he's a threat, along with Serendipitous Lady, a former stablemate of the selection.

Michael Bell's MEDICIAN STAR (nap) did well to finish close up on his handicap debut after a slow start had him on the back foot.

LIHOU might not have been at his best in recent starts, but David Evans' charge, who landed the corresponding event off a 7lb higher mark 12 months ago, could be revitalised by the return to this track. A high draw looks to be in his favour too, and he gets the nod ahead of Glory Fighter, who pulled well clear with the runner-up when on target at Thirsk a fortnight ago. Mountain Peak rounded off last season with a couple of improved efforts at Ascot and must be considered too.

This will be fast and furious and last year's winner LIHOU could be worth chancing to bounce back returned to turf. Paul Midgley's Glory Fighter and Match Play are both of firm interest also.

Moon Flight is of serious interest switched to turf but MOUNTAIN PEAK returns with his yard going well and he is preferred.

FOXEY had little difficulty in regaining the winning thread at Exeter last month and stepping back up in trip could unlock further improvement. The return to fences may also benefit Olly Murphy's gelding and a fourth success of the season could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Spago, who posted a solid third at Leicester in November, while chasing debutant God's Own Getaway isn't taken lightly either.

SPAGO has made an encouraging start to his chasing career and looks to have been found a good opening back from a break. Foxey and Will Sting head the dangers.

This can go to STAR FLYER, who was one of two to pull a long way of the others when winning in pretty good style over C&D in February.

TINGARRAN EXPRESS has obvious claims having won at Clonmel on Thursday, despite it being her first success in 21 starts. Although a seven-year-old, her recent form is strong with the winner of her February race subsequently placing at the dizzying heights of Grade 2-level. The selection is 1lb wrong under her 7lb penalty but contests a weak handicap. Cramers Valley has been running well in recent handicaps and being as yet somewhat unexposed, can continue to progress. Ella Rose reverts from fences and ran well over hurdles last November while three-time winner Definiteadare also reverts from chasing but makes his reappearance. Morepowertoya, which runs in first-time cheekpieces, should improve from his reappearance run but would prefer better ground. UK bumper-placed Cloughroe and Misty Milan, which represents an in-form yard, each contests their first handicaps.

TINGARRAN EXPRESS overcame a fairly hefty bump when finally off the mark at Clonmel on Thursday and hopes are high that she can quickly double up under a penalty. Cramers Valley shaped with promise at Naas when last seen and he's a threat, with Definiteadare another to note on his return to action.

Even with a 7lb penalty, TINGARRAN EXPRESS could be capable of following up her ready Clonmel success of five days ago.

An appealing option on paper, the speedily-bred PIT BOSS, a full-brother to dual Group 2-placed sprinter Crispy Cat, is presented with a good opportunity to make a big impact on his racecourse debut. Foro Romano, a stablemate of the selection, was the subject of decent market support on his debut at Wolverhampton and can make this a good test with a step forward. Forever My Prince is another newcomer to monitor closely in the betting.

SABRIMENTO wasn't beaten far on debut at Newmarket last week, and should take a decent step forword. George Boughey fields 2, newcomer Pit Boss and once-raced Foro Romano, and market clues should help split them.

Eve Johnson Houghton has made a cracking start to the season with 2yos first time out so FOREVER MY PRINCE is given the vote.

A race which could throw up some clues for this year's Derby, and preference is for DEFIANCE. Having won on his debut at Sandown, the son of Camelot was far from disgraced in the Royal Lodge next time. He's bred to appreciate this longer trip and should be stronger as a three-year-old. Chief Little Rock chased home subsequent Futurity winner Ancient Wisdom in the Autumn Stakes when last seen and must be feared on that evidence, while Feigning Madness, who bids to maintain his unbeaten record, heads the remainder.

CHIEF LITTLE ROCK isn't entered for the Derby but he sets a high standard for this race having finished second in the Beresford Stakes at the Curragh and Autumn Stakes at Newmarket. Feigning Madness has the makings of a smart middle-distance performer so rates a big threat, while Arabic Legend is worth another chance for his new yard.

This could go to ARABIC LEGEND, who kept on well for a Listed second over 1m at Salisbury last August, form that has worked out well.

The application of first-time blinkers saw a career-best performance from POST CHAISE, who jumped his rivals into the ground when landing the spoils at Market Rasen in March. The seven-year-old is taken to make light work of a 6lb rise in the handicap. Shiroccosmagicbaby made a respectable chase debut when finishing third at Ffos Las and Christian Williams' inmate is feared most now upped in distance, ahead of Tom Creen.

POST CHAISE looks an improved model and is taken to defy a career-high mark for his in-form stable. Shiroccosmagicbaby is interesting up in trip after an encouraging start over fences at Ffos Las. Tom Creen and Shot Boii are also considered.

Another chance is given to ROGER RAREBIT, who found 3m on heavy ground too taxing on his latest outing but still has potential.

SPLASHING OUT was out-battled by the narrow winner at Limerick and the application of a first-time visor might help. She bounced back from a disappointing February run in last month's contest, should compete from her rating and is suited by testing ground. The Busy Fool is consistent and having run well in three maiden hurdles, should run well on handicap debut. Similarly Picture Of You debuts in handicaps having run well in three maiden hurdles last November/December while stablemate Kudasheva was soundly held running in a first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut last November. Linden Arden has returned to his previous trainer since a disappointing run recently and his best form is over longer distances. Pacini was second at Grade 3 level last February, with the winner subsequently scoring at Grade 2 level but was well held in first-time blinkers (which are again applied) on recent handicap debut.

PICTURE OF YOU has shaped with promise on all 3 hurdle starts and remains open to improvement now heading into a handicap, so she's an appealing candidate. Splashing Out and The Busy Fool are a pair of credible rivals.

Six handicap debutants and one of them, THE BUSY FOOL (nap), could be well treated after three placed efforts in maiden

Running from the foot of the weights, LUCENTIO is an appealing option on his handicap debut for a top yard. The son of Too Darn Hot, who is a half-brother to a winner over this trip, looked in need of the run on his seasonal debut at Kempton 15 days ago and could be a different proposition on his second start after wind surgery. Lingfield winner Night Safari is an obvious threat back on turf off 6lb higher. Torrent completes the shortlist.

This looks open but LUCENTIO has been handed a workable opening mark based on the level he achieved on debut and is certainly in the right hands to bounce back tackling a new trip. He gets the nod in favour of Night Safari, with Spanish Vega a potential big improver now handicapping.

The Gosden handicap debutant LUCENTIO was all at sea on Lingfield's AW circuit last time and now returns to the scene of his best run.

In what looks a tricky puzzle to solve, only a tentative vote can go to SILENT FILM. Ian Williams' gelding finished a good second at Meydan in January but it was a different story the following month when he finished down the field at the same venue. However, the son of New Approach could emulate his father and improve for a step up to 1m2f, with the booking of Ryan Moore also a big positive. Felix was narrowly denied at Wolverhampton last time out and must be of interest back on turf, while Qitaal, who defied a lengthy absence to score at Doncaster, can mount another stern challenge off 6lb higher.

QITAAL made a successful return after nearly 2 years off for the Johnston stable at Doncaster and with that form having a solid look to it he could be able to defy a 6 lb rise in this stronger race if building on that. Silent Film is interesting under Ryan Moore, while Harry Eustace has an interesting pair in Ziggy and Crystal Delight.

Preference is for CRYSTAL DELIGHT, who was a good second last September on his penultimate run for the now-retired William Jarvis.

Having run out a ready winner at Exeter on Friday, CAPTAIN WALLACE proved a different proposition on faster ground conditions. The gelded son of Milan looks more than capable of defying a 7lb penalty and a quick turnaround may be the only thing that stands in his way. Mermaids Cave is an intriguing contender on her stable bow for James Owen and an improved bid wouldn't be a surprise, while first-time cheekpieces could get Mountain Pass travelling with more verve.

CAPTAIN WALLACE opened his account in ready fashion at Exeter last week and, with more to come, he's the percentage call to follow up under a penalty. Tigger remains capable of better now switched to a handicap, with Saint Bibiana completing the shortlist following a good second over C&D recently.

It's very easy to see the appeal of CAPTAIN WALLACE, who posted a much improved performance to win by 10l at Exeter on Friday.

The runner-up, third, fifth, sixth and seventh-placed horses from a recent same-distance Cork race reoppose and NOW IS THE HOUR might again lead them home, and win today. A Grade 2 Haydock winner over three-miles last February, he nonetheless ran well when dropped in distance on chase debut at Cork (where he conceded 5lb to the winner) and a reproduction would give him every chance. Third-placed Fortunedefortunata has seven and a half lengths to find on that form while Mister Wilson finished fifth) and Cosmic Blizzard (sixth) should struggle. An Epic Song has a marked left-jumping tendency and disappointed when finishing seventh at Cork. Runner-up to famous Langer Dan in the 2023 Coral Cup, he is open to vast improvement going this direction but remains a work-in-progress and would prefer further. Capable Pinkerton disappointed at Thurles in February but had previously run well in two November chases. Summer Melody makes his chase debut.

NOW IS THE HOUR was useful over hurdles and showed plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Cork on chasing debut so, while he's likely to be suited by a return to further, he should have enough to get away with it. Pinkerton has actually achieved the most over fences to this point, so he's feared along with Fortunedefortunata.

A Grade 2-winning hurdler over 3m, NOW IS THE HOUR wants further but had four of these behind over this trip on chase debut at Cork

YAAJOOZ posted solid efforts in defeat in handicap company at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month. This appears to be a suitable opportunity for George Boughey's inmate to open his account. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Lennox, who ran with more encouragement when third at Dunstall Park in November, while any market support for newcomer Fifty Nifty, a half-brother to Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Obviously, would be interesting.

LENNOX remains open to improvement after only 2 encouraging runs and can improve past Yaajooz. Corrales can do better on his third run, also.

Yaajooz could be vulnerable to something with potential and LENNOX most definitely falls into that category.

Champagne Piaff returned from an absence of over two years when third at Bath earlier in the month and warrants plenty of respect off the same mark with Ryan Moore booked. That said, it remains to be seen whether he can handle such a quick turnaround and the vote goes to HOPE YOU CAN RUN. The four-year-old ran with credit behind some useful types before winning at Catterick in July last year and a gelding operation might yield further improvement. There's The Door won off a 2lb lower mark at Goodwood in August and is a player following her return effort at Doncaster.

It's likely that CHAMPAGNE PIAFF will be well found in the market with Ryan Moore booked on the back of an encouraging return from a monster absence at Bath. However, that's just about the only negative mark against this lightly-raced 6-y-o, who was a winner here off this mark on his sole previous visit in September 2021 and he shaped at Bath as though this step back up in trip would be ideal. Splendent and Hope You Can Run are put forward as the main dangers given doubts surrounding The Goat.

There are positives factors surrounding SARATOGA GOLD on his first run for Kevin Frost, and he's the pick ahead of Western Stars.

MISS TAPLEY looks the one to beat here on her return to action. The Phoenix Of Spain filly was a promising second at Galway on her sole outing last season September and that form looks strong. The winner, Tannola, was runner-up in two hot maidens prior to her success while the third horse, Vassula Ryden, went on to win a Navan maiden in good style. The 77-rated Gandolfo is more exposed but is entitled to run well. It'sonlyjustbegun showed promise when sixth in a Leopardstown maiden 16 days ago on her debut and is a potential improver.

MISS TAPLEY made a promising start to her career when second at Galway in September and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better with improvement forthcoming. Gandolfo would have claims if bouncing back from a poor showing at Naas on his final 2-y-o outing, while It'sonlyjustbegun shaped with some encouragement on her recent debut at Leopardstown and ought to improve.

The experienced Gandolfo merits respect but he is not certain to cope with the less-exposed MISS TAPLEY, second on debut at Galway

However, RIALANNAH, who finishing a close-up second at Market Rasen last month, receives 7lb from the six-year-old, and that weight difference could prove key. Floating Line is entitled to build on her hurdles bow fourth at Kempton in November and she completes the shortlist.

THE LORD MAID created a good impression when winning easily on her hurdling debut at Clonmel in February and, with more to come back up in trip for her new yard, she's fancied to defy a penalty. Floating Line and Rialannah head the dangers in that order.

SUMMER TIDE was a surprise winner on seasonal reappearance last month and indeed reverts to a more favourable distance. He was rated just 111 over hurdles but his chase form is quite useful, being beaten by subsequent Kerry National winner Desertmore House last July and, at Cork last month, dfeated a previous Grade 2 winner into second. So Des Flos defeated the recent Scottish National-fourth to win at Fairyhouse last month and while he would ideally prefer a slightly longer distance, has claims despite conceding weight. Music Of Tara was well beaten when brought down at Leopardstown in February and while she had previously shown good form and has point-to-point experience, faces a tough task on chase debut. Dual hurdle winner Nine Graces is rated 128 in that sphere but was also well held in that Leopardstown race and makes her own chase debut. Varna Gold returned from 640 days off at Cork last month and has plenty on his plate on chase debut.

SUMMER TIDE made a taking return when winning easily at Cork and can go in again back up in trip. Useful hurdler Nine Graces could be the danger on her chase debut.

Having posted a career-best when taking a 2m Cork beginners' on comeback, SUMMER TIDE will take beating today.

LUNARIO posted his best effort of the year when runner-up at Thirsk earlier this month. First-time blinkers could be just the aid that enable the four-year-old to open his account and is taken to get the better of fellow in-form rival Dion Baker. The five-year-old recently finished second over 6f at this venue and a return to a mile shouldn't hamper his bid. Lunanera lurks on an attractive mark and he's also noted at this level.

Involvement sets a decent standard based on his Redcar debut success and his Newcastle second in November. Bred to improve for a step up in trip, the son of Lope De Vega will need to settle better than on his first couple of starts and it may be a decent sign that the hood isn't being used on this occasion. Midair commands plenty of respect on what he achieved as a juvenile, but a chance is taken on PLAYTIME. His Goodwood second was a decent effort, having chased home a rival who subsequently performed well in Listed company, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him control proceedings on the front end.

This looks between MIDAIR and Involvement, who both appeal as useful prospects. The former receives 6 lb from penalised-winner Involvement so that may prove decisive. Playtime is best of the rest.

Preference is for INVOLVEMENT who showed plenty of promise in both outings over 7f last year. There is probably more to come from him.

A win for Miss Tapley in the opener would be a boost to the form of VASSULA RYDEN. Willie McCreery's filly was a place behind that rival when the pair were second and third to Tannola on debut at Galway last September. Vassula Ryden went on to take a Navan maiden in good style subsequently and this looks a nice stepping stone. It's interesting that she's fitted with a visor on her return having been described as a lazy type last season. Norwalk Havoc comes into this with a recent win under his belt and looks the danger. Shelaka disappointed on her second outing last season behind Opera Singer in Group 3 company. She may be capable of better.

NORWALK HAVOC has the best form, is open to more improvement, and has a fitness edge over his main market rivals, so he looks a solid proposition. Vassula Ryden and Shelaka are a couple of promising fillies that should make better 3yos, so they're the chief dangers.

A tight race with not a lot between them on peak RPRs. NORWALK HAVOC looked a horse to follow when winning at Leopardstown.

Philip Rothwell's stable keeps firing in the winners and WEIHNACHTS could be another for him. This 10-year-old gelding bounced right back to form in Down Royal with an authoritative victory over an extended 3m2f this month. Although he is up 7lb in the weights, he is actually down in grade. Tangental has been a beaten favourite in four of his last six outings, but he is picking up prize money and looks one of the more likely contenders especially off a light weight. Made In The Woods has obtained his best results when racing off the front and, if he gets an uncontested lead, he could travel well for a long way. Fox Le Bel is a long-standing maiden, but is capable of grabbing more place money, while Centurion Steel is one to monitor for market strength in the first-time hood on his second start for Declan Queally.

STARLIGHT CATO is worth another chance to back up his good second at Navan having had excuses at Limerick last time (badly hampered and made mistakes after). Fox Le Bel should be in the mix again, while Tangental remains with scope in this sphere on hurdles form after just 3 chase starts.

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

MR BALOO progressed nicely once stepped up to 7f last season with a pair of victories, one of those coming at this track, before finishing third at Newmarket. He returned earlier this month in winning form at Kempton and the manner of his performances suggest he will have no issue with stepping up to this distance. His stable companion Show Biz Kid is of interest on handicap debut following some promising displays, while Portsmouth and Dashinwhitesargent are other potential improvers.

MR BALOO improved to gain a third career success at Kempton last time and, with track experience to call upon, he's fancied to go in again at the possible expense of Portsmouth, a notable handicap debutant. Gone Rogue is still one to bear in mind despite an underwhelming reappearance.

The Richard Hannon-trained SHOW BIZ KID (nap) was a promising third at Salisbury on his middle 2yo start and may well be on a good mark.

NATIVITY SQUARE has been busy already this season and can gain a deserved win. The Vocalised filly ran really well when finishing second to Wingspan on her most recent outing at Leopardstown 16 days ago and a similar effort may be enough now. Gushing showed some promise on her debut when fourth at Thurles before a disappointing run at Leopardstown. She may be able to improve this year. Sure Spirit was runner-up twice on the all-weather in England but an official mark of 68 leaves her with a bit to find.

NATIVITY SQUARE is going the right way and can get off the mark in this thin maiden. Dangers come in the shape of newcomers Siege of Troy, Mataariki and Campari Soda.

This looks an excellent opportunity for the race-fit NATIVITY SQUARE to go one better than at Leopardstown.

Nordic Tiger was somewhat underwhelming when a well-beaten second at Plumpton last month and the five-year-old may be in the grip of the handicapper at present. With that in mind, it may pay to go for last-time-out Hereford scorer INTIMATE. Venetia Williams' gelding ran out a decisive winner on that occasion and not even a 10lb hike in the ratings may be enough to prevent him from following up. Kaleb looks to have a bigger performance in him and the son of Sir Percy is a viable alternative to the selection.

KALEB was set to show improved form (booked for second) until a late unseat at Plumpton when last seen in February and from the same mark, he can confirm himself to be well handicapped. Billy Boi Blue is a likely improver now allotted a mark, with Nordic Tiger expected to be on the premises again.

The suggestion is KLITSCHKO, who disappointed on heavy ground last month but was a very creditable second over 2m two starts ago.

Willie Mullins saddled a newcomer to win this race last year and could repeat the feat with NOT NEGOTIABLE. Her sire, Kapgarde, is a good source of bumper winners and she will certainly know her job. Shannon Bank was only collared in the closing stages at Down Royal, so that runner-up berth entitles her to respect. She is going the right way as her fourth places in Galway and Cork weren't devoid of ability either. Point-to-point winner Shantou Princess showed potential when keeping on for fourth on racecourse debut at Cork. There are plenty of winners in Laravie's pedigree, so a market move for her ahead of her racecourse bow would be interesting.

NOT NEGOTIABLE makes plenty of appeal on paper and should be able to get the better of Shannon Bank, who sets the standard on what's been achieved in bumpers. Nothing Hectic should be suited by the extra emphasis on stamina, so she's no forlorn hope.

The bar is not set too high by those that have run so NOT NEGOTIABLE, a sister to a useful hurdler in France, can take this on debut

A first ride for the Martin Dunne yard could bear fruit for Benoit De La Sayette aboard ALI JEWELS who, on the face of it, would need to improve on what she has shown in two starts this year. However, she was a C&D winner off 1lb lower in September last year and, with blinkers applied for the first time, it would come as no surprise were she to step forward in a relatively moderate event. Mellys Flyer finished a narrow second at Chelmsford 12 days ago and remains well treated, while Exceed, who struck at Thirsk last June, could be a factor too.

Tricky stuff with ALI JEWELS chanced back at the scene of her September success off a similar mark. The returning Exceed and Mellys Flyer are dangerous.

Mellys Flyer will surely get his head in front sooner rather than later but JOSIES KID had excuses when behind him at Chelmsford.

Several of these have crossed swords before and there is little to choose between the likes of Inexplicable, Capallcliste and Fanzone based on recent encounters. However, it might pay to focus on TROJAN TRUTH (third), who impressed with a C&D success on his penultimate start. The selection didn't enjoy the cleanest of runs after a slow start when attempting to follow up here three weeks ago, but can reverse the form with Damoiseau (second) with a better start and smoother run.

TROJAN TRUTH has started off the new campaign well and this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Inexplicable and Damoiseau are feared most.

Laser Focus needs considering. Otherwise TROJAN TRUTH is taken to turn things round with Damoiseau from three weeks ago.

KISIYRA could improve for going a bit further this season. The Sea The Moon filly was placed in a couple of maidens last year and it was a good run when chasing home Everlasting at Galway in a decent contest last October. She is fitted with cheekpieces on her return and a mark of 79 doesn't look harsh. Colin Keane takes the mount on Nika Pika again after a good run to chase home Uncle Albert at Cork late last month. The Estidhkaar filly had Ringside Timing a length-and-a-quarter back in third then. Jim Bolger's charge was dropped a pound after that run and is now ridden by an inexperienced 10lb claimer.

SURFERS PARADISE stuck pretty well to his task when fourth in a better handicap than this a fortnight ago and with that reappearance under his belt, he's just about the most persuasive option. Ringside Timing should relish this trip and is feared most, ahead of Kisiyra.

This can go to SURFERS PARADISE who ran a pleasing race on his handicap debut at Leopardstown behind the thrown-in Chantilly.

Having been hampered by a faller at the first flight, NICKELFORCE didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages on his third-placed finish at Ascot last month. Ben Case's inmate still performed with credit that day and a return to class 5 company may prove fruitful. The hat-trick seeking Rumble B is also sure to prove popular and the veteran may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the in-form Mahler Moon.

Quite a few of these have to prove stamina for 3m but that's no issue for MAHLER MOON, who is now going the right way over hurdles for his leading yard. He's preferred in favour of Rumble B and Nickelforce.

The drying ground will suit FADED FANTASY and he is selected in the hope he can recapture the form of last summer's easy course win.

Handicap debutants Peace Walk and EDUCATE jointly set a decent standard here. The former, a winner over the extended 7f at Beverley on his penultimate start, commands respect but the selection won over 1m at Southwell on his racecourse bow and currently appears more suited to this stiffer test of stamina. Second to an improver on his seasonal bow at Kempton 22 days ago, the Sea The Stars colt also has match-fitness on his side. Trojan Storm rates best of the rest.

An interesting handicap in which strong cases can be made for four of the five entries. EDUCATE couldn't live with Palace Green at Kempton but that was still a good effort and he looks the way to go here with this stiffer test likely to help unlock improvement on this handicap debut. Hampden didn't do a great deal wrong on his reappearance here 3 weeks ago and he is feared most ahead of Peace Walk and Fouroneohfever.

There's speed in PEACE WALK's pedigree but he looked more about stamina himself last autumn and is preferred to Educate.

STILL ROLLING was obviously flattered to get as close as she did to One Look in Cork late last month but it was still a decent run and she looks capable of scoring off this kind of mark now in handicap company. Duke Of Leggagh was eased a pound after a solid run to finish third to Mr Rango at Leopardstown 13 days ago and could be a big player here now. He had Givemehoperosa half a length behind then. Jack Davison claims 5lb off his filly now, with James Ryan getting the leg up, and is another that has to be in the mix.

This looks wide open. Preference is for DUKE OF LEGGAGH, who posted his best effort for a while when third under Wesley Joyce at Leopardstown recently and, down another 1 lb, he has slipped to workable mark. Roderick also performed well in a Leopardstown handicap last time and he is feared most ahead of French import Evolving, Quantum Light and handicap debutante Still Rolling.

Fourth on her handicap debut at Leopardstown, GIVEMEHOPEROSA\ can turn the tables on third-placed \bDuke Of Leggagh

RAINWATER was a well-backed favourite on his debut at Haydock last August and, while he paid the price for a slow start that day, he did show promise as that race unfolded. Ultimately second to a filly who was pitched at a Group 3 on her next start, that run sets a good standard. Beveragino is respected back at this trip with first-time cheekpieces added, but nicely-bred newcomer Smouldering makes more appeal for the silver medal.

RAINWATER was well backed before making a most promising debut at Haydock 8 months ago, and is taken to improve past the more exposed Beveragino. Smouldering is the more interesting newcomer.

Smouldering is an interesting newcomer but the market spoke well of RAINWATER ahead of one run last summer and he gets the nod.

SOUL OF SPAIN should prove hard to beat. He got up for second on debut at the Curragh in October and took a lot of credit from that performance, particularly as the winner was good enough to then finish a close third in a Group 1 in France. Soul Of Spain holds an Irish Derby entry. Cheeky Wink has some notable entries including in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, so it is reasonable to assume she has progressed over the winter after a fifth place on debut at Leopardstown in October. Daboya and Mickey Cohen are two newcomers who could have a say in proceedings.

SOUL OF SPAIN made a promising start at the Curragh 6 months ago and is the one to beat. Daboya is the interesting newcomer, while once-raced Cheeky Wink is likely to take a step forward.

Irish Derby entry SOUL OF SPAIN entered many notebooks when a closing second to the high-class Illinois at the Curragh last season.

A winner over this course and distance on her debut for the James Own yard 10 days ago, TENYATTA is not overburdened off just a 3lb higher mark and she rates a solid option in her bid to follow up. Amroon hinted at a revival last time out and, dropped 1lb, he can also get competitive on his return to this venue. Handicap newcomer Tantomile is another must for consideration.

TENYATTA didn't take long to score for new trainer James Owen and can notch up a second C&D success. Tantomile, Aces High and Warrior Tune are interesting handicap debutants in opposition.

Tenyatta isn't without risk from the outside stall and preference is for AMROON, who's been gelded and goes up in distance.

CARLO BIANCONI can make it third-time lucky. Joseph O'Brien's charge has finished a close second in both maidens to date and should play a leading role. Interestingly, he holds an entry in the valuable Chester Cup next month. The lowest-rated horse in that race last year was on a mark of 87, so Carlo Bianconi would likely need a victory to get in as he's rated 78. Neptunes Staircase is a worthy opponent. He lost out by a neck in Navan and by a nose at the Curragh, so wouldn't be winning out of turn. Furthermore, trip and ground are fine for him. Firebrand was beaten a length into second over hurdles at Cork in March and it is worth noting that he was runner-up on the Flat in France last year. Johanna Whitty is likely to improve from her unplaced seasonal reappearance at the Curragh on Saturday.

CARLO BIANCONI went close on both his starts in maidens, including on his comeback at Dundalk 12 weeks ago, and can find the required improvement to beat Away To The Sea, who often runs in handicaps. Neptunes Staircase and Johanna Whitty are best of the others.

Runner-up over C&D a year ago and on his return at Dundalk last month, CARLO BIANCONI has good prospects of going one better.

MISS CYNTHIA improved as the stamina tests increased on turf last season and is a different proposition to the last time she raced on a synthetic surface. Although this is a step up in class for the daughter of Sea The Moon, there is good reason to expect Sir Mark Prescott has left plenty to work with and another big run looks assured. The Craftymaster is feared despite being held off this mark at Kempton 13 days ago. Unexposed on the all-weather, Sea Grey is noted too.

A deserved first taste of success could be on the cards for MISS CYNTHIA, who made the frame all five starts switched to handicaps last season and may well have more to offer as a 4-y-o. Evaluation has slipped to a dangerous mark and is feared most, though Star Legend is also accorded respect.

Proven winner SEAL OF SOLOMON is entitled to have come on for his recent return from ten months off. Evaluation is second choice.

COOLREE relished the application of blinkers for the first time here over slightly further earlier in the month, before not quite seeing it out inside the final furlong. If the headgear works again, he makes plenty of appeal with the handicapper also dropping him 1lb. Covert Legend could bounce back following wind surgery and might well be on a dangerous handicap mark, while Khathak and Darker appeal most of the remainder.

COOLREE shaped well up with a strong pace last time and, from stall 1, he's worth chancing in a race where the majority have questions to answer. Darker is one of few that has run with credit last time, so he's a danger, while Covert Legend is worth noting on the back of wind surgery and a short break.

It's easy enough to pick holes in most and this may well be best left to COOLREE (nap). Covert Legend has the ability but is risky.

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT nearly made it a third career victory over C&D last time and would likely have done so barring a slow start. The five-year-old's record here since the beginning of the year has been extremely consistent and he is taken to confirm the form with Coast (third) and Sisters In The Sky (fourth). The aforementioned pair are both respected once again, while others to consider include Midnight Flame and Mumcat.

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT scored here in March and got right back on track when an unfortunate second over C&D last time, likely to have scored with a clear run, so he's worth chancing to gain compensation. Coast regularly goes well at this track and should be thereabouts once more, while Mumcat is likely to give her running again.

This might be set up for MUMCAT, who hasn't had the breaks lately. Coast is another who can run well.

GIDWA built on his second here over 7f last month when benefitting from a drop back in trip to score over C&D last time, when just denying Bernard Spierpoint in the final strides. A 2lb rise for that success is unlikely to stop him from going well again, while his old rival is likely to be a threat on the front end. Captain Wentworth has been knocking on the door in recent starts and first-time blinkers might aid his cause.

HIGHER LAW (fourth) and Mikka (third) were both hot on the heels of Gidwa and Bernard Spierpoint after encountering traffic problems over C&D 13 days ago, and they can reverse placings with those rivals this time. Marginal preference is for Higher Law, who is 0-23 but he was a real eye-catcher in the aforementioned race and looks ready to strike. Tathmeen did the job well at Newcastle but he was seen to maximum effect that day and looks vulnerable up 5 lb.

The vote goes to MINE THAT SHIP, who is 2lb lower than when narrowly beaten the last time she raced over this trip.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
