Edward O'Grady has a good chance of landing the opener with St Faz and could again be the man to follow here as IRISH PANTHER has some very strong form in the book. He was placed in bumpers behind the likes of Fact to File and Ballyburn and his two placed efforts over hurdles also read well. He returns from a break and appears to have been found a good opportunity as long as he is comfortable on this quicker ground. Point-to-point winner Al Gasparo was runner-up over hurdles for the second time at Tramore last month where he showed he could handle good ground. Sionnach Eile won a premier handicap on the Flat at the Galway festival in 2022 and ran well in the same race last summer. He's a noteworthy hurdling debutant.

IRISH PANTHER and Al Gasparo both look capable of winning a race of this nature, while Sionnach Eile would be a big threat if translating his useful Flat form to this sphere at the first attempt. Though a shade disappointing when beaten over 14 lengths at Thurles on his latest start in November, Irish Panther gets the nod. It's unlikely that he faces a rival of the same level of ability as the winner of that Thurles race (Daddy Long Legs) here. Lieber Nicc will be a threat if getting a run.

Though he lacks a recent run, IRISH PANTHER holds the strongest form on show and has the ability to win this.

1	1 (1) (11/8 +21%) Playful Saint		1.375 11/8(+21%)																															(1) Playful Saint 11/8, Lightly raced 9-y-o who put a couple of low-key hurdle runs behind him to get off the mark over fences right away at Hexham last week, deserving extra credit for overcoming not only an error that nearly dislodged his rider but also sitting close to a very strong pace. Can follow up. It was hard work last week at Hexham; 4lb rise is enough for what he achieved.
1	2 1st (2) (10/11 +55%) Matterhorn		0.909091 10/11(+55%)																															(2) Matterhorn 10/11, Defied a penalty in fine style following a breathing operation and 7-month break at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) in November. Good second back there 14 days later but very disappointing switched to handicaps next 2 starts. Makes chase debut. Dual novice hurdle winner; quiet in his two handicaps; chasing could be the making of him.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/11 +48%) Gower Prince		0.909091 10/11(+48%)																															(3) Gower Prince 10/11, Strong in the betting and duly proved a different proposition sent chasing back under less testing conditions when scoring at Wincanton 3 weeks ago despite typically taking strong hold. More on his plate racing off 18 lb higher (8 lb out of the weights) but he's open to improvement. Left his hurdling form behind when impressing on chase debut; raised 10lb.

Playful Saint made a successful start to his chasing career when winning at Hexham eight days ago and he merits respect raised 4lb in the ratings. However, all of his best form has come with some give in the ground and he might not get those ideal conditions here, so GOWER PRINCE shades preference. Although 8lb out of the handicap, Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge produced a polished round of jumping to score at Wincanton on his fencing bow three weeks ago, and that will stand him in good stead. Matterhorn lacks the experience of his two rivals and might be booked for third.

PLAYFUL SAINT did well to make a winning chase debut at Hexham and this looks a good opportunity for him to follow up with Gower Prince 8 lb out of the handicap and chase-debutant Matterhorn arriving on the back of 2 poor efforts.

The safest option is perhaps GOWER PRINCE, who was poor over hurdles but looked a different proposition on his chasing debut.

HIGHBURY can turn around form with Himalayan Heights on his second start. The Galileo colt was green first time in Cork 16 days ago, coming off the bridle turning for home. He was doing his best work at the finish and has only half a length to find with his rival after the pair finished second and third behind Birdman. Himalayan Heights was a touch keen early on then and if he settles better he may finish off stronger this time. Jessica Harrington, who trained the aforementioned Birdman, saddles newcomer Final Entry. The Galileo colt is a half-brother to three winners, including the Group 3-placed Arturo Toscanini.

HIGHBURY showed plenty to work on when third at Cork and shades the vote over Himalayan Heights, who is capable of winning a maiden. Vice President and Final Entry are a couple of newcomers to note.

He was getting the message late on when half a length behind Himalayan Heights at Cork and HIGHBURY can improve past that rival now

1	2 1st (2) (7/2 +65%) Illegal D'ainay		3.5 7/2(+65%)																															(2) Illegal D'ainay 7/2, Montmartre gelding. Dam fairly useful staying chaser in France. Runner-up both starts in Irish points in spring 2023 but got no further than the first (had took strong hold) on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 8 days ago. Two-time point runner-up; 14-1, first-flight unseat on recent rules debut; a possible.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/8 +1%) Global Esteem		1.625 13/8(+1%)																															(1) Global Esteem 13/8, Fairly useful 1m handicapper on Flat for John Gallagher. Showed definite aptitude for hurdling on 2 of his 3 starts in novice company during second half of last year and possibilities on return from a break. Five-time Flat winner who has shown promise in this code and holds leading claims.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 +64%) Pooch		18 18/1(+64%)																															(4) Pooch 18/1, Well held only start in bumpers and possibly one for handicaps in this sphere judged on pair of exploits in recent months. Soundly beaten on all three starts and others holds stronger claims.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -100%) Solution		9 9/1(-100%)																															(5) Solution 9/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat who bagged pair of 2m handicaps on AW last summer. Shaped as if amiss on final start at York in September and since sold from Ralph Beckett for only 5,500 gns in November. Market should guide now hurdling. Tongue strap on 1st time/had wind op. Two-time Flat winner; sold for 5,500gns; the betting could be informative on hurdle debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (18/1 -64%) Shalfa		18 18/1(-64%)																															(8) Shalfa 18/1, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 9/1) 34 days ago. Likely best watched now attentions switch to timber. 3-25 on Flat; below par on last few runs in that code; may be best watched on hurdle debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (5/2 +0%) Alain		2.5 5/2(+0%)																															(3) Alain 5/2, Manatee gelding. Green and went with little promise on hurdles bow at Chepstow (2m) in January but more like it when third in juvenile maiden at Fakenham (2m) 6 weeks ago, staying on straight. One to consider with the likelihood of more to come. Good third at Fakenham latest and stable has won four of last eight runnings of this race.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -264%) Truth Will Out		20 20/1(-264%)																															(6) Truth Will Out 20/1, 4-y-o who failed to pull up any trees in handicaps on the level at up to 14f. However, represents a yard no stranger to success in this sphere and market confidence behind him would need to be viewed positively. Modest six-race maiden on the Flat but in good hands and could improve for going hurdling.
8th	7 8th (7) (100/1 +0%) Darcy's Glance		100 100/1(+0%)																															(7) Darcy's Glance 100/1, Well held all 3 starts in bumpers and he fared no better starting out over hurdles at Stratford recently, jumping none too fluently. Passed over here with a first-time hood now fitted. Down the field in her three bumpers & same story when 300-1 for last month's hurdle debut.

Global Esteem sets the standard with an official rating of 103 and must enter calculations, although he was a well-beaten third at Hereford when last seen in November. Alain came from well off the pace to reach the frame at Fakenham last month and he appeals as a leading contender. SOLUTION, however, a two-time winner on the Flat, was sent off as favourite for a warm York handicap when last seen and he looks a solid proposition now sent over timber.

GLOBAL ESTEEM still needs to conclusively prove his stamina for hurdling, yet he did show a definite aptitude for the job on 2 of his 3 starts late last year and could just be the way to go back from a break. Alain and hurdle-debutants Truth Will Out and Solution are others to consider.

The Moore-trained ALAIN was a promising third at Fakenham last month on his second start and can continue to progress.

SHECOULDBEANYTHING won this last year and returned to Killarney to land a valuable handicap hurdle in August. She hasn't been at her best on her last couple of starts and has to give away weight all around but will enjoy getting back on spring ground and her C&D record makes her hard to oppose. Gordon Elliott has a strong hand and his other runner Royal Eagle is rated to beat the selection on these terms. Very progressive in handicap hurdles last summer, she'll be sharper for her return to action at Punchestown. The teak tough Effernock Fizz landed a big pot in game style at Fairyhouse over Easter. Well held since, she'll enjoy the ground and has such a willing attitude that she can never be discounted.

The vote in this trappy-looking contest goes to ROYAL EAGLE, who didn't offer much when returning from a break at Punchestown recently but she should come on for that and the drying ground will aid her cause. Shecouldbeanything is 2-2 over this C&D, including winning this race 12 months ago, and she is an obvious threat, despite carrying a penalty. Gaillimh A Run needs to step up considerably but she is open to improvement, while an on-song Effernock Fizz would certainly have a chance.

Though she has a fair bit to find on ratings, GAILLIMH A RUN revels on decent ground and is a sporting selection to score.

1	6 1st (6) (3/1 -50%) Bellbird		3 3/1(-50%)																															(6) Bellbird 3/1, Fair maiden on the Flat in France for N. Clement and made an encouraging start over hurdles when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft). Sure to improve. Placed on the Flat in France; encouraging first hurdle start when third at Stratford.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 +33%) Chevington		8 8/1(+33%)																															(1) Chevington 8/1, Runner-up on the first of 3 outings in bumpers. Minor promise when only mid-division over hurdles so far and will likely been seen to better light in handicaps. Yet to threaten in novice races but his form claims are still up there at this level.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +33%) Opera King		3 3/1(+33%)																															(5) Opera King 3/1, Fair bumper performer showed aptitude for hurdling when third finish at Market Rasen on debut. Not in same form when mid-field at Warwick since, but could bounce back. Bumper promise but beaten about 20l in his two runs over hurdles with cheekpieces enlisted.
4	4 4th (4) (9/4 -20%) Cusano		2.25 9/4(-20%)																															(4) Cusano 9/4, Fairly useful on Flat, winning a 6-runner maiden at Hyeres (12.4f, good to soft) final start in 2023. Since been gelded and is a very interesting hurdles newcomer for powerful yard. 1m4f winner who has joined the right yard to carve out a career over hurdles.
5th	3 5th (3) (66/1 -32%) We Ain't Walking		66 66/1(-32%)																															(3) We Ain't Walking 66/1, Pulled up sole start in Irish points and came off bridle long way out when seventh of 12 to Roaring Legend in maiden at Chepstow on debut. Hard to fancy. Pulled up in a point and finished well held in a Chepstow maiden when sent off at 80-1.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 -25%) Doeshefitthebill		5 5/1(-25%)																															(2) Doeshefitthebill 5/1, Very much caught eye when fourth of 7 to Daddy Long Legs in novice at Ludlow last time, finishing with running left having been poorly positioned. Reportedly returned with breathing problem there but has to be respected if that issue has been remedied. Signs of improvement here last time, albeit flattered to be so close to the easy winner.

There was plenty to like about BELLBIRD's hurdling bow at Stratford three weeks ago, where she reached the frame, and given that improvement should be on the cards, Donald McCain's new recruit is taken to get off the mark over timber. A winner on the Flat when trained in France, Cusano warrants the utmost respect for his leading yard, while Opera King, who would hold solid claims on the form of his Market Rasen third in March, heads the remainder.

A good heat, several having shown promise already, though preference is for BELLBIRD after last month's encouraging Stratford third. Cusano is a really interesting recruit to hurdling for the Dan Skelton yard, whilst Doeshefitthebill caught the eye under considerate handling here last time and is also considered.

Dan Skelton's new recruit CUSANO wouldn't have to be anything special to beat these on his hurdling debut.

1	7 1st (7) (13/2 +24%) Wendla		6.5 13/2(+24%)																															(7) Wendla 13/2, Lightly-raced winner who recorded a very good 3½ lengths sixth of 11 to A Lilac Rolla in 1000 Guineas Trial (14/1) at this course (7.1f, heavy) 35 days ago. Should improve. Considered. Had the benefit of winning maiden run at Naas under her belt when behind Buttons here (7f).
2	2 2nd (2) (6/5 +47%) Buttons		1.2 6/5(+47%)																															(2) Buttons 6/5, Promising type. 7/2, 2¾ lengths third of 11 to A Lilac Rolla in 1000 Guineas Trial at this course (7.1f, heavy) 35 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Stable in good form. Should progress. In the mix. Came home well from off the pace when third in strong Group 3 here in April; 1m will suit.
3	6 3rd (6) (66/1 -267%) Vina Arana		66 66/1(-267%)																															(6) Vina Arana 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden, goo third of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 7/1) 30 days ago. Difficult ask here, however. Rated 80 after three AW runs; can't be having her in this company..
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 -25%) Unreasonable		20 20/1(-25%)																															(5) Unreasonable 20/1, Twice-raced winner. 8/1, 6½ lengths seventh of 10 to Content in Staffordstown Stud Stakes at the Curragh (8f, soft). Off 7 months. May well do better. Made winning debut over 1m at Cork (good) but well held in Curragh Group 3 on soft.
5th	3 5th (3) (28/1 -56%) Cheeky Wink		28 28/1(-56%)																															(3) Cheeky Wink 28/1, Won 9-runner maiden at Gowran (9.4f, heavy, 7/1) 19 days ago, kept up to work. Stable having good spell but this is no easy ask. Holds Group 1 entries and off the mark when landing Gowran maiden (9.5f, soft).
6th	4 6th (4) (6/4 -36%) One Look		1.5 6/4(-36%)																															(4) One Look 6/4, Promising sort who landed 5-runner minor event (1/20) at Cork (7f, heavy) 43 days ago, pushed out. Tongue strap on 1st time. Leading form claims. Breathtaking debut winner of the Goffs Million last year; up in trip; tongue-tie a worry.
7th	1 7th (1) (33/1 -200%) Ameilya		33 33/1(-200%)																															(1) Ameilya 33/1, Won 12-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, soft, 16/1) 18 days ago, keeping on well. More needed here though. Won 1m maiden at Gowran on her return and that is decent form; not one to underestimate.

We didn't learn much more about ONE LOOK when she went through the motions to score at 1/20 on her return at Cork in late March. The Gleneagles filly had looked a bit special when winning the Goffs Millions by six lengths from a smart sort in Cherry Blossom on her debut last September. This nicer ground suit better now and she is an exciting prospect for classics this season. Buttons is entitled to improve from her comeback run here. She was a staying on third to A Lilac Rolla in the Priory Belle Stakes and looks an obvious danger. Wendla was back in sixth then and has a bit of ground to make up.

ONE LOOK holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to follow up her Cork success in this higher grade. Buttons also has better days ahead of her and looks the one to give her most to do ahead of improving duo Wendla and Unreasonable.

The addition of a tongue-tie to One Look is disconcerting and we'll take her on with BUTTONS, an eyecatcher here over 7f last time

7	7 (7) (12/1 +40%) Crookbarrow		12 12/1(+40%)																															(7) Crookbarrow 12/1, Has shown little over various trips over hurdles and he's hard to warm to here. Ten-race maiden who has achieved little and is hard to fancy.
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 +26%) Sandy Brook		3.333333 10/3(+26%)																															(1) Sandy Brook 10/3, Fair bumper winner who ran to a similar level without success over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign. No show over fences in recent months and fared no better for return to hurdling when fourth of 5 in handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f) 18 days ago. Needs to leave that behind to figure. Struggled last season after long layoff but good form of the yard offers a glimmer of hope.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Amalfi Skyline		5 5/1(+29%)																															(4) Amalfi Skyline 5/1, Left previous form behind when scoring from out of the weights over fences at Hereford (20.9f) in January but disappointed on 2 of his 3 starts since in that sphere. Others make greater appeal returned to timber. Lightly raced 5yo who is well treated on last season's chase form.
3	8 3rd (8) (22/1 -57%) Glorious Mist		22 22/1(-57%)																															(8) Glorious Mist 22/1, Maiden pointer who has failed to improve for switch to handicaps in this sphere, looking a hard ride when pulled up at Fontwell (21.7f) in January. Likely best watched back from a break. Has shown some ability on good going; could go well if the ground dries out.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -100%) Kapitaliste		7 7/1(-100%)																															(3) Kapitaliste 7/1, Losing run is mounting up but he did go close on a handful of occasions last summer. Absent since running below form at Newton Abbot in October so interesting what the market makes of him here. On 16-race losing run and returns from some time off, but he's on a competitive mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -71%) Betty's Belle		12 12/1(-71%)																															(6) Betty's Belle 12/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft, 11/1) in November, losing touch 4 out. Needs to hit the ground running back from 6 months off. Poor strike-rate but pops up with the odd good run; not discounted in a weak race.
5	5 |F| (5) (13/8 +7%) Eliza Dolittle		1.625 13/8(+7%)																															(5) Eliza Dolittle 13/8, Maiden hurdler who is bred to stay well and ran best race upped markedly in trip when third of 11 in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago. Remains low mileage granted this sort of test and one to consider from same mark. 0-9 but third over C&D last month and good recent form is scarce in this line-up.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/1 +8%) Privatearing		11 11/1(+8%)																															(2) Privatearing 11/1, Only one effort of note in maiden/novice hurdles but not figured switched to handicaps, including when ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f) back from 11 months off in March. May have needed March comeback run but has struggled in all three handicaps.

The form of ELIZA DOLITTLE's recent C&D third has worked out well so Nick Gifford's six-year-old, who has scope for further progress over staying trips, could shed her maiden tag off an unchanged mark. Sandy Brook continues to edge down the weights and he might appreciate a return to better ground, while Amalfi Skyline, who reverts to hurdles following a mixed spell over the larger obstacles, is another to consider.

ELIZA DOLITTLE showed more than previously upped in trip when third in a C&D handicap 6 weeks ago and she looks the most solid option in a trappy handicap. Sandy Brook may sharpen up for his Uttoxeter run 18 days ago, and along with Kapitaliste, heads up the dangers.

This could be a good opportunity for ELIZA DOLITTLE (nap) to get off the mark on the back of her C&D third last month.

11	11 (11) (7/1 -56%) Cheerful Chap		7 7/1(-56%)																															(11) Cheerful Chap 7/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft, 2/1) 23 days ago, just holding on. Progressing recently. Back-to-back wins at Naas and Ballinrobe last month, up 14lb but still has a light weight.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -45%) Fascile Mode		16 16/1(-45%)																															(3) Fascile Mode 16/1, 20/1, good tenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.5f, soft) 8 days ago. Something to find on form. Has been set some very stiff tasks since winning a Punchestown maiden last October.
1	4 1st (4) (33/1 +34%) Senecia		33 33/1(+34%)																															(4) Senecia 33/1, 33/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago, dropping away soon after. Switches from chase to hurdles. Difficult ask. Useful chase form in the first half of last season; hard to fancy on recent evidence.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 -20%) So Scottish		6 6/1(-20%)																															(5) So Scottish 6/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form fourteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft, 14/1) 12 days ago. Yard having good spell. Expected to be bang there. Questions to answer after his last two runs in valuable handicap, could not be ruled out.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 +71%) Fiveonefive		3.5 7/2(+71%)																															(6) Fiveonefive 7/2, Three wins from 9 runs last season. 125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form eighth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, heavy) 58 days ago. Can make presence felt. Two of his three hurdle wins have been gained in Britain, remote eighth in the Martin Pipe.
4	13 4th (13) (9/1 +25%) Zeeband		9 9/1(+25%)																															(13) Zeeband 9/1, Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in March. 17/2, respectable tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, soft) 30 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Four Flat wins, 2-11 over hurdles, wins gained back-to-back in March before Aintree run.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 +17%) Set Point		10 10/1(+17%)																															(8) Set Point 10/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season. Below form thirteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft, 28/1) 12 days ago. Entitled to come on considerably from a Punchestown festival run, better ground will suit.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 +34%) Rock On Seamie		33 33/1(+34%)																															(10) Rock On Seamie 33/1, Latest win in hurdle at Downpatrick in June. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 147 days ago, behind when pulled up before last. Must improve. Absent since a poor run at Thurles in December, not a great strike rate but often placed.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 -20%) Clarens		12 12/1(-20%)																															(12) Clarens 12/1, Creditable 5¾ lengths fifth of 13 to Cheerful Chap in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Naas (16.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Not taken lightly. Not a bad effort when fifth to Cheerful Chap at Naas and may be sharper for the run.
8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 +40%) By Your Side		12 12/1(+40%)																															(9) By Your Side 12/1, Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 16/1) 43 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Runner-up in two decent handicaps last December, has been running in competitive races.
7	7 |U| (7) (5/1 -82%) Icare Desbois		5 5/1(-82%)																															(7) Icare Desbois 5/1, 6/4, didn't need to improve to win 19-runner novice hurdle at Naas (16.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Disappointed before winning Naas maiden; good chance he can go well off this opening mark.
2	2 |PU| (2) (3/1 +54%) Encanto Bruno		3 3/1(+54%)																															(2) Encanto Bruno 3/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. 10/1, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, heavy) 137 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive. Two bumper wins, best hurdles form when winning Irish-dominated novice event at Cheltenham.
1	1 |PU| (1) (18/1 +10%) Common Practice		18 18/1(+10%)																															(1) Common Practice 18/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in December. 33/1, seventeenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 98 days ago. Mark Walsh prefers So Scottish. Won a Listed handicap at Fairyhouse in December, fair chance if finding that from again.

ENCANTO BRUNO looked a smart novice on good ground last year readily landing the odds in a Bellewstown maiden and again winning easily at Cheltenham in October. The Mahler gelding couldn't repeat that form in both outings since on soft ground and now comes here off a break since Christmas with conditions to suit. Icare Desbois won a valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse last year but hasn't always jumped fluently before finally opening his hurdle account in a Naas maiden last month. Common Practice and By Your Side filled the first two places in a valuable handicap on the Hattons Grace card at Fairyhouse, while Rock On Seamie is another to consider.

ICARE DESBOIS got the job done at the fifth attempt in this sphere when landing a big-field Naas maiden last month and, with the likelihood of better to come from this 6-y-o now handicapping, he is taken to follow up. So Scottish has slipped to an attractive mark and will be a big threat if he puts his best foot forward, while the hat-trick seeking Cheerful Chap and Zeeband are others to consider.

Now that he has a maiden hurdle win under his belt ICARE DESBOIS may begin to deliver on the promise he showed with a debut bumper win

7	7 (7) (9/1 +25%) Great Snow		9 9/1(+25%)																															(7) Great Snow 9/1, Arrives below par, cheekpieces on when eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 24 days ago. Needs to hit the ground running on her chase debut. Hasn't really got going since joining Harry Fry; this is no easy chase debut.
1	1 (1) (10/1 -100%) Royale Margaux		10 10/1(-100%)																															(1) Royale Margaux 10/1, Below-form third of 8 in handicap chase (9/2) at Cheltenham (16.3f, good) 24 days ago. Back up in trip but others more persuasive. Ran well enough last month at Cheltenham to believe she'll go well now down 3lb.
1	5 1st (5) (5/4 +58%) Trapista		1.25 5/4(+58%)																															(5) Trapista 5/4, Bids for a hat-trick after recent handicap chase wins at Hereford and Warwick (20f, good to soft). Saddles a 7 lb penalty but still looks the one to beat. Has more on her plate here under a penalty but something has clicked.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -13%) Regal Renaissance		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(4) Regal Renaissance 9/2, Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Chepstow in March and backed it up with a good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f, heavy) 46 days ago. Goes chasing now and needs considering. Reliable hurdler at about this distance and she has a very solid record at this course.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/1 -69%) Voice Of Calm		11 11/1(-69%)																															(3) Voice Of Calm 11/1, In good form without winning until only fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (16.3f, good) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. No forlorn hope. Behind Royal Margaux at Cheltenham but returning to further looks a big plus.
4	2 4th (2) (10/3 +5%) Moviddy		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(2) Moviddy 10/3, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25.2f, good) 24 days ago. Back down in trip but not ruled out. Has the form to feature and perhaps failed to stay 3m1f at Cheltenham last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/2 +21%) Lost Connections		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(6) Lost Connections 11/2, C&D winner but starting to struggle when unseated rider 9th in handicap chase at Cheltenham (16.3f, good) 24 days ago. Back up in trip with more needed. Last year's winner and just two runs since; unseated mid-race at Cheltenham recently.

It might have taken TRAPISTA 13 attempts to open her account over fences, but the daughter of Golden Horn was able to follow up at Warwick next time and appears to have found her groove. A 7lb penalty looks unlikely to prevent another bold bid given that she remains well treated, so a hat-trick could be on the cards. This represents a drop in class for Royale Margaux and she might be the main danger, while Regal Renaissance, a largely consistent hurdler, could have a say if taking to the larger obstacles.

A few of these arrive with a question mark against them but TRAPISTA is a notable exception and looks the way to go in her hat-trick attempt. Chasing-debutante Regal Renaissance could emerge as the main danger given she arrives in good form over hurdles, with Moviddy and Great Snow also worthy of consideration.

A good renewal may go the way of MOVIDDY whose best form is at this trip. 3m1f looked a step too far at Cheltenham last time.

Off 8 months. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Dangerous if scaling a revival. Beaten 4l in Irish 2,000 Guineas last term but bombed out twice afterwards; gelded.

This smart gelding is in the mix. Rock solid gelding goes well here and won this last year on soft to heavy; ground concerns.

YOSEMITE VALLEY wasn't stopping over the stiff seven at the Curragh last time and a mile around a bend here shouldn't be an issue. The Shamardal half-brother to Irish Derby runner-up Piz Badile has been campaigned at six and seven to date but powered through the line when winning the Gladness Stakes last time and looks progressive. Bold Discovery has the top rating of 109 and is a smart horse on his day. He was a good winner of the Celebration Stakes at the Curragh over a mile on good ground last year and is entitled to play a big part. Knight To King couldn't match Sunchart in very testing conditions at Naas on his return and may fare better now.

YOSEMITE VALLEY looked better than ever when taking the Gladness Stakes at the Curragh last month and can go in again at the chief expense of last year's winner Power Under Me. In-form duo Fiscal Rules and Real Appeal can also have a say in an intriguing Group 3 event.

Tricky; we'll take a chance on BOLD DISCOVERY who will like the ground, goes well fresh and might be all the better for being gelded

6	6 (6) (11/1 -100%) Buzz Box		11 11/1(-100%)																															(6) Buzz Box 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 3/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this course (5f) 89 days ago. Can give a good account. Two good runs here for new yard; could do with settling better but still has potential.
1	1 1st (1) (5/4 +64%) Cross The Tracks		1.25 5/4(+64%)																															(1) Cross The Tracks 5/4, Course winner. Latest win here in March. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 44 days ago. Shortlist material. Good progress the last twice, picked off only late in better C&D race latest; good claims.
2	8 2nd (8) (12/1 -50%) Wren Officer		12 12/1(-50%)																															(8) Wren Officer 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 9 days ago. Not taken lightly. Two Class 6 wins over C&D this year; solid 3rd latest; up in weights/class; vulnerable.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -35%) Mr Wonderful		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(2) Mr Wonderful 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good to soft, 9/2). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Makes handicap debut. Looks well treated on his Newbury third last summer; gelded prior to stable/h'cap debut.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +0%) Bulmer Bank		8 8/1(+0%)																															(9) Bulmer Bank 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, seventh of 10 in nursery at this C&D. Off 6 months. Hood on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Prominent in the market for two nursery runs in the autumn; unexposed; hooded for return.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -80%) Swordplay		18 18/1(-80%)																															(4) Swordplay 18/1, 8/1, seventh of 8 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Makes tapeta debut. Must improve. Hamilton win as a 2yo but not obviously ahead of her mark now switched to AW.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 -67%) She's A Gambler		20 20/1(-67%)																															(5) She's A Gambler 20/1, 2 from 2 as a juvenile but only sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 22/1) on return 14 days ago. 2-2 on turf as a 2yo; 22-1 and well beaten on last month's h'cap debut; still early days.
7th	7 7th (7) (18/1 -13%) Infinity Blue		18 18/1(-13%)																															(7) Infinity Blue 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, sixth of 9 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Didn't progress for A Balding as a 2yo; sold 37,000gns and gelded; needs a personal best.
8th	3 8th (3) (8/1 +33%) Tierney		8 8/1(+33%)																															(3) Tierney 8/1, Bit below form fifth of 10 in nursery at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy, 8/1). Off 7 months. 6f nursery winner last summer but didn't kick on afterwards; vulnerable to improvers.
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 -71%) Oakland Princess		12 12/1(-71%)																															(10) Oakland Princess 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 9 days ago. Engaged 14.55 Nottingham Saturday. Had no luck on her recent handicap debut (C&D); open to further progress.

BUZZ BOX, who dead-heated over course and distance in January, is appealing back at this trip after another good effort over the minimum distance here last time out and should have more to give from just 3lb higher. Allotted a favourable draw, the selection can sit handy as events unfold and he may prove too progressive for the likes of fellow course winners Wren Officer and Cross The Tracks.

CROSS THE TRACKS was an excellent second in class 2 over C&D 6 weeks ago and can resume winning ways back down in class. In-form Wren Officer is next best ahead of the progressive Buzz Box.

Oakland Princess is better than she showed here last time but MR WONDERFUL is preferred on this stable and handicap debut.

1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -78%) Toothless		4 4/1(-78%)																															(1) Toothless 4/1, Dual 2m hurdles winner who got back on track switched to chasing when runner-up in small fields last 3 starts and shouldn't be long before he opens his account over fences. Runner-up in three small-field chases since headgear was added; today's ground will suit.
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 +45%) Small Bad Bob		3 3/1(+45%)																															(4) Small Bad Bob 3/1, Fair winning hurdler/chaser for Paul Henderson and struck over hurdles at just the second time of asking for new trainer Chris Gordon here in October. Not in same form next 2 starts but won this race 12 months ago when last seen over fences. Won this in 2023; drops in grade after contesting two competitive hurdle races.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 -8%) Magistrato		7 7/1(-8%)																															(3) Magistrato 7/1, Won novices' handicap chase at Warwick (2m) a year ago on final start for Paul Nicholls. Mostly creditable efforts for this yard (second over C&D after 6 months off latest) but he can look awkward under pressure. Has his quirks but ran pretty well when second over C&D last month, after a break.
4	6 4th (6) (9/2 +0%) Eyed		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(6) Eyed 9/2, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. Easily best effort to date over fences when 1½ lengths second at Huntingdon in March but unable to build on that when fourth there following month. 0-5 over fences but was clear second two starts ago and enters calculations.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -12%) Fairway Freddy		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Fairway Freddy 28/1, Largely struggled outside veteran company last season and others preferred. Suited by this C&D but has regressed; younger rivals appeal much more.
6th	5 6th (5) (7/2 -5%) Aviles		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(5) Aviles 7/2, Fair hurdler who hasn't looked a natural over fences but jumped much better fitted with this headgear and ridden more positively when close second at Fakenham last month and player with a repeat. Has a mixed record last season but ran well in new headgear a month ago.
2	2 |PU| (2) (17/2 -42%) Just One Surf		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(2) Just One Surf 17/2, Placed in Irish points/bumper and left his first 2 hurdle runs behind when springing a 40/1 surprise in 2m Taunton maiden (soft). No obvious fluke about that but well held on handicap bow at Sandown since. Makes chase debut. Improved to win maiden hurdle in March and could easily have more to offer over fences.
8	8 |PU| (8) (33/1 +34%) Beaufort West		33 33/1(+34%)																															(8) Beaufort West 33/1, On the decline and plenty on his plate back over fences from out of the weights. Well beaten over hurdles here last month and 7lb wrong for this return to chasing.

TOOTHLESS, a runner-up on each of his three starts over fences so far, appears to have been found the ideal opportunity to go one better. Magistrato is another who has been knocking on the door and he holds obvious claims, along with Aviles, who posted his best chasing effort to date when filling the runner-up spot at Fakenham last month.

TOOTHLESS has been the bridesmaid on all 3 of his starts over fences but can go one better down in class. Last year's winner Small Bad Bob is feared most ahead of Aviles.

Still unexposed over fences, SMALL BAD BOB is taken to win this event for the second year running.

1	4 1st (4) (6/4 +14%) Solitary Man		1.5 6/4(+14%)																															(4) Solitary Man 6/4, Useful hurdler. Three wins from 8 runs last season. Creditable 3 lengths second of 5 to Search For Glory in Grade 3 hurdle (4/1) at Cork (24f, heavy) 154 days ago. 2-3 over hurdles here and strong claims on chase debut. Highly progressive novice hurdler last year, 2nd in a Grade 3 when last seen; big player.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 -13%) Duffle Coat		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(2) Duffle Coat 9/2, Fairly useful chaser. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap chase at Punchestown (20.2f, soft, 40/1) 9 days ago. Merits respect. Smart hurdler has shown decent form in five chases without winning; should go close.
3	3 3rd (3) (17/2 -113%) Gaelic Arc		8.5 17/2(-113%)																															(3) Gaelic Arc 17/2, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Creditable second of 5 in minor event chase at Clonmel (20f, soft, 28/1) 24 days ago. Should make his presence felt. Dual hurdle winner has run respectably in three chase starts; should be involved again.
4	5 4th (5) (7/4 +13%) Music Of Tara		1.75 7/4(+13%)																															(5) Music Of Tara 7/4, Promising individual. Two wins from 4 runs last season. 6/4, career best when winning 5-runner novice chase at Tipperary (20f, good to soft) on debut over fences 19 days ago. Open to progress. Hurdle winner won a Tipperary novice last time and be competitive under a penalty.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 +20%) Decimation		20 20/1(+20%)																															(1) Decimation 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Sixteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 12 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Hurdle winner is rated 114 in that sphere and has a bit to find against some of these.

SOLITARY MAN progressed well over hurdles last year including winning twice at this venue and showed plenty of stamina when landing a 3m Listed event at Cork in November. The Enda Bolger-trained gelding has always been viewed as a future chaser and now takes the first step over larger obstacles. Duffle Coat was a prolific winner in juvenile hurdles and, while without a win since, has filled the runner-up spot four times over fences this year including over this trip at Downpatrick last month. Music Of Tara opened her account over hurdles in a competitive 2m4f handicap at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and the point-to-point winner successfully switched to fences over the same trip at Tipperary last month.

Having created a good impression on her recent chase debut at Tipperary, MUSIC OF TARA is taken to make it 2-2 in this sphere with this step up in trip unlikely to inconvenience her in the least. Solitary Man brings solid hurdles form to the table and will be a big threat if his jumping passes the test, while both Gaelic Arc and Duffle Coat also have claims in an intriguing novice chase.

With the benefit of five chase runs under his girth, including in a valuable Punchestown handicap last time, DUFFLE COAT can score.

1	1 (1) (28/1 -40%) Jazz King		28 28/1(-40%)																															(1) Jazz King 28/1, Left his hurdle form behind when making a winning start to his chase career here in March 2023 but has showed nothing on both starts since leaving Sam Thomas. Something to prove back over the smaller obstacles. Dangerously handicapped returned to hurdles but with serious questions to answer.
10	10 (10) (125/1 -150%) Equus Millar		125 125/1(-150%)																															(10) Equus Millar 125/1, Looks regressive, going off at big odds and showing nothing when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fakenham last time. Big ask from out of the weights. Hurdle/chase winner but lightly raced in recent times and clearly regressive.
1	2 1st (2) (17/2 -13%) Collingham		8.5 17/2(-13%)																															(2) Collingham 17/2, Has drawn a blank since winning the Scottish County here in February 2023 and last two efforts have been poor. Return to better ground could help and he's not dismissed from a sliding mark. Potentially well-in but last season never really got off the ground.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 -9%) Cawthorne Banker		3 3/1(-9%)																															(7) Cawthorne Banker 3/1, Fairly useful bumper performer who, back on this sort of ground, left previous hurdling efforts well behind when scoring readily in a handicap at Kempton last time. Likely type for the follow up. Just his second handicap when coming clear at Kempton; good ground suits him well.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/3 +17%) Him Malaya		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(3) Him Malaya 10/3, Got off the mark when landing 2m Wincanton handicap in November and creditable third on two of three subsequent outings, coming from a long way back at Kempton on latest. Should go well. Third after a break at Kempton and he wasn't best positioned when the tempo increased.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 +0%) Gerard Mentor		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Gerard Mentor 25/1, Three of his 4 career victories have come right-handed and he ran well when runner-up at Exeter/Hereford in the autumn. Lost form subsequently, showing little back from 5 months off at Taunton last time. Ran well last season but not last time at Taunton following wind surgery.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 -33%) Sergeant Wilson		8 8/1(-33%)																															(5) Sergeant Wilson 8/1, Free-goer who posted a good second at Newbury off a 4 lb higher mark in November. Safely held next 3 starts, no better for a return to quicker ground at Taunton on latest. Has a bit to prove. Coming back to a sharp 2m will help and could run well if his jumping holds up.
6th	9 6th (9) (22/1 -100%) Saddlers Quest		22 22/1(-100%)																															(9) Saddlers Quest 22/1, Arrives at the top of her game last year, completing the hat-trick at Newton Abbot, then acquitting herself well when third at Worcester (demoted from second) 7 months ago. Claims if she's ready for this return. In career-best form when last seen but has been absent since October.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/1 +0%) Flight Of Freedom		5 5/1(+0%)																															(4) Flight Of Freedom 5/1, Won a 2m mares' novice on Warwick hurdle debut in October. Back on the up returning from 5 months off when fourth at Huntingdon 17 days ago and, if sharper for that, she should make her presence felt. Consistent mare not yet fully exposed and it was a likeable run last time after a break.
6	6 |F| (6) (9/2 +18%) Zucayan		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(6) Zucayan 9/2, Won this last year and, while he's only been seen twice since, shaped as if retaining ability when fourth of 6 at Hereford on recent return. Should be spot on for this, so not dismissed. Won this 12 months ago and lots to like about his Hereford effort after a break.
11	11 |U| (11) (100/1 -300%) My Mate Polly		100 100/1(-300%)																															(11) My Mate Polly 100/1, No promise in bumpers. Showed more than previously in this sphere when fourth in a juvenile at Hereford last time but had the run of things and is not certain to reproduce it on handicap debut. Well out of the weights. Latest 4th needs treating with an element of caution; out of the weights for h'cap debut.

Saddlers Quest was in cracking form last year, recording three wins from her last four starts, and she has to be considered off a 1lb higher mark than her third at Worcester in October. However, the vote goes to CAWTHORNE BANKER, who scored by an impressive six lengths at Kempton last month and an 8lb rise could prove to be lenient. The son of Flemensfirth could have more to offer on only his third handicap start and he looks the one to beat. Him Malaya could be in the mix for the minor honours.

CAWTHORNE BANKER was impressive at Kempton last time and remains with plenty of handicapping scope on bumper form, so he's capable of following up. Him Malaya and Flight of Freedom arrive in good order with few miles on the clock, so they're expected to get involved, too.

After a good run at Kempton, HIM MALAYA (nap) is taken to gain revenge on Zucayan who beat him in this 12 months ago.

1	4 1st (4) (4/5 -29%) Los Angeles		0.8 4/5(-29%)																															(4) Los Angeles 4/5, Promising sort. Won 7-runner Criterium de Saint-Cloud (67/10) at Saint-Cloud (9.9f, soft) by neck from Islandsinthestream. Off 6 months but holds leading claims. Unbeaten at two, culminating with a Group 1 success in France; hard to beat.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 -20%) Euphoric		6 6/1(-20%)																															(2) Euphoric 6/1, Twice-raced winner. 2½ lengths third of 5 to Bremen in minor event at Cork (10.2f, good to soft, 9/4) 16 days ago. Stable in good form. Open to progress and can go well. Third to Bremen at Cork but no surprise to see him leave that form behind here.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 +61%) Taraj		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(5) Taraj 11/2, Thrice-raced winner. 11/8, won 12-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f), driven out. Off 170 days. Up in trip but this is no easy ask. Progressive last season, albeit his win came in an ordinary maiden; Guineas entry.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -13%) Keeper's Heart		18 18/1(-13%)																															(3) Keeper's Heart 18/1, Twice-raced winner. 4/7, won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (8f), driven out. Off 6 months but up in trip and should have more to offer. Dundalk maiden winner who needs to take a huge leap forward to threaten here.
5th	1 5th (1) (4/1 +20%) Bremen		4 4/1(+20%)																															(1) Bremen 4/1, Lightly-raced sort who won 5-runner minor event at Cork (10.2f, good to soft, 4/1) 16 days ago, driven out. Stable in good form so can't be discounted. Improved form in winning at Cork and having the benefit of a run makes him dangerous.

Group 1 winner LOS ANGELES should prove hard to beat here on his return to action. The Camelot colt got home by a neck in a tight finish to the Criterium de Saint-Cloud on his second career outing in October and that form has worked out well since. Aidan O'Brien has a terrific record in this and Los Angeles should prove the class act. Bremen has already been in winning form this season, claiming a decent little conditions race at Cork 16 days ago. He looks the danger if Los Angeles isn't full wound up. Euphoric, third to Bremen in Cork, should improve from his comeback run and can get into the frame again.

LOS ANGELES signed off at 2yrs with a smart success in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud and can return in style for his in-form yard. Stablemate Euphoric also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list ahead of recent winners Bremen and Keeper's Heart who can fight it out for minor honours.

If there's a future star on show this year it's LOS ANGELES, who should make a better 3yo and he already boasts Group 1 honours.

2	2 (2) (66/1 -230%) Formby		66 66/1(-230%)																															(2) Formby 66/1, Mayson colt. Brother to smart winner up to 6f Ainsdale and half-brother to 6f winner Cale Lane and 5f winner Lyons Lane. Dam once-raced sister to very smart winner up to 7f Garswood. Well-related newcomer but has a fair standard to aim at & perhaps one for the longer term.
1	9 1st (9) (10/3 +49%) Storm Star		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(9) Storm Star 10/3, Night of Thunder colt. Dam winner up to 7f (Sceptre Stakes and 2-y-o 6f winner). Interesting newcomer. Dam a Stewards' Cup and Group 3 winner; starts out at a realistic level; one to consider.
2	3 2nd (3) (16/5 -28%) Jungle Land		3.2 16/5(-28%)																															(3) Jungle Land 16/5, €180,000 yearling, Kodiac gelding.

Didn't justify market confidence on debut ten days ago but shaped well amidst inexperience.
3	7 3rd (7) (13/2 +0%) Nazionale		6.5 13/2(+0%)																															(7) Nazionale 13/2, €90,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns colt. Half-brother to very smart 9f-10.5f winner Via Sistina, from the family of Kingsgate Native. 10/1, showed plenty of ability despite looking very green early when third in 7f Kempton novice. Only fifth faced with very different conditions at Doncaster since. Promising debut; better than the result at Doncaster last time too; interesting down to 6f.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 -20%) Treasure Time		4 4/1(-20%)																															(10) Treasure Time 4/1, Better for debut when close second of 8 in novice event at Kempton (7f, 15/2), keeping on well. Third has since boosted form so he's a player. Off 7 months. Gelded after debut and shaped much better when 2nd at Kempton (7f) in October; unexposed.

Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 6f winner Lightning Moon. Third of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 18/1) on debut, nearest finish. Off 6 months. Should progress. Promise amidst greenness on Wolverhampton debut 202 days ago; can do much better this year.
6th	11 6th (11) (100/1 -52%) Port And Starburd		100 100/1(-52%)																															(11) Port And Starburd 100/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 7 in novice event at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 7 days ago. Modest form in two 5f runs 370 days apart; handicaps more suitable after this.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 -25%) Novation		25 25/1(-25%)																															(8) Novation 25/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 5/2). Off 129 days. Makes tapeta debut. Sold from George Boughey 3,500 gns in February. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Promise over 5f at two; beaten fav on h'cap debut in January; vulnerable on stable debut.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 -167%) Moon Man		16 16/1(-167%)																															(5) Moon Man 16/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 9/4, third of 5 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. 2 promising 6f runs at Southwell before lesser turf run (behind Jungle Land); headgear now.
9th	1 9th (1) (125/1 -25%) Fiona's Ridge		125 125/1(-25%)																															(1) Fiona's Ridge 125/1, Kodiac gelding. Closely related to useful 6f-1m winner Honiara and 11.5f-2m winner Summer Eve. Dam 5f-6f winner. Bred to be useful but he looks best watched on this belated debut.

This appears to be another good piece of placement by William Haggas as the twice-raced TREASURE TIME bids to gain a first career success. The selection filled the runner-up spot in a Kempton novice when last seen and, given the third has since advertised that form with a win and now sits on a mark of 85, the son of Time Test could be a cut above the opposition. Jungle Land looked promising at Ayr 10 days ago and goes on the shortlist along with potential improver, Midnight's Dream.

JUNGLE LAND couldn't justify favouritism at Ayr on debut but he still showed plenty to finish a clear second and is fancied to go one better. Naepoint caught the eye when third at Wolverhampton in October and is a potential threat along with well-bred newcomer Storm Star.

A few potential big improvers are on show and NAZIONALE is tentatively preferred to Treasure Time and Jungle Land.

8	8 (8) (8/1 -78%) Inigo		8 8/1(-78%)																															(8) Inigo 8/1, A fairly useful bumper winner in France. Off 20 months subsequently but shaped better than result all 3 starts in maiden hurdles and hadn't been asked for an effort when falling 3 out in a Kempton handicap last time. Interesting. In contention before falling 3 out on handicap debut; remains very unexposed.
1	11 1st (11) (9/1 +25%) Ez Tiger		9 9/1(+25%)																															(11) Ez Tiger 9/1, Won novice event at Southwell last summer and should have followed up there on next outing. Ran poorly at Market Rasen last time and off 3 months since. Won on good ground last summer but he is a lot more exposed than some of these.
2	13 2nd (13) (11/1 -10%) Colonel Lesley		11 11/1(-10%)																															(13) Colonel Lesley 11/1, Won last 2 starts for Claire Harris in 2022 and shaped with promise when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D the following month. Changed yards again since and market may guide after 9 months off. Not seen since last summer's Uttoxeter fourth; market likely to guide on stable debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +25%) Crystal Mer		9 9/1(+25%)																															(6) Crystal Mer 9/1, Shaped a bit better than the bare result when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 33 days ago, late mistakes seeing him finish further behind than otherwise. Others still make greater appeal on balance. Looked promising in bumpers but yet to be placed after five hurdling starts.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 -129%) Andapa		16 16/1(-129%)																															(9) Andapa 16/1, After a wind-op, ran better than for a long time when ¾-length second of 14 to Glance At Me in handicap hurdle (15/2) in this race last season. Not seen since, though, and now has tongue strap applied. Betting check advised. Not seen since going close in this race a year ago but can evidently go well when fresh.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/1 +29%) Cuban Court		10 10/1(+29%)																															(1) Cuban Court 10/1, Patchy record over hurdles so far, though it's possible he needed the run when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Good second of 17 on handicap debut in January but two lesser efforts have followed.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 +33%) Martin Spirit		4 4/1(+33%)																															(7) Martin Spirit 4/1, Winner over fences in France and, having had a wind op, opened his hurdles account with a comfortable success over C&D in March. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (16f, good) 20 days ago. Shortlist material. C&D winner in March and returns here with good 5lb claimer booked; shortlisted.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/2 +13%) Glance At Me		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) Glance At Me 7/2, Won this race last season and proved better than ever when also landing 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft, 7/2) 41 days ago. Player. Won this a year ago and added to her tally at Fakenham last month; likely contender.
5	5 |PU| (5) (6/1 +50%) Angel's Dream		6 6/1(+50%)																															(5) Angel's Dream 6/1, Much-improved on third hurdles start when landing a 2m maiden here (good to firm) last May. Turned in a lethargic display when well-beaten behind Macari here last time, though, and blinkers now go on. Generally very disappointing since winning C&D maiden a year ago; blinkers now added.
3	3 |PU| (3) (11/2 +31%) Macari		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(3) Macari 11/2, Much improved when winning here in April and shaped as if still in good form until tiring late when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Perhaps feeling effects of busy spell there and is turned out again relatively quickly, so others preferred. Course winner last month, his fifth hurdle run; below that form (raced too freely) since.
2	2 |PU| (2) (25/1 -233%) Grandee		25 25/1(-233%)																															(2) Grandee 25/1, Strong in betting when improving to score on his latest hurdles start over C&D in October 2022. Bit disappointing on the Flat of late, though, and others are easier to fancy. Not seen over hurdles since Uttoxeter win in 2022 and not at his best on Flat this year.
10	10 |PU| (10) (50/1 -52%) Raindance Queen		50 50/1(-52%)																															(10) Raindance Queen 50/1, Placed both starts between the flags early in 2022 but has shown little in 3 novice hurdles this season. More needed now handicapping. Displayed a glimmer of promise in one of her four novice hurdles last season; h'cap debut.
12	12 |PU| (12) (100/1 -203%) Privatory		100 100/1(-203%)																															(12) Privatory 100/1, Dual 2m winner early in his career but tumbling in the weights without looking up to taking advantage. Pulled up on yard debut last time and cheekpieces now go on. Became disappointing for Gary Moore last season and was pulled up on recent stable debut.

MACARI is still of low mileage and, as he already has a course win to his name, returning to this venue is a major plus as he bids to exploit a potentially lenient rating on only his fourth handicap start. A C&D winner last May, Glance At Me rates the chief threat to the selection, although Andapa (second) was only three-quarters of a length behind her that day, so has to enter calculations returning with a first-time tongue-tie added.

MARTIN SPIRIT scored over C&D in March and got back on track chasing home a trio of unexposed rivals last time, so is fancied to resume winning ways ahead of last year's winner Glance At Me. Inigo hadn't been asked for an effort well falling on handicap debut and still appeals as one who could do better in this company.

It might pay to give another chance to MACARI, who pulled clear of the others with a dual subsequent winner here two starts ago.

1	8 1st (8) (2/7 +19%) Saylavee		0.285714 2/7(+19%)																															(8) Saylavee 2/7, Useful hurdler. 12/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Makes chase debut and will prove hard to beat granted a clear round. Course bumper winner and very useful hurdler, head and shoulders above this opposition.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 -13%) Henning		9 9/1(-13%)																															(3) Henning 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fell in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (17.1f, good, 17/2) 5 days ago. Back up in trip. Three-time winner over hurdles, 0-6 chasing, faces tough task against Saylavee.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +40%) Sea Aster		12 12/1(+40%)																															(9) Sea Aster 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Third of 7 in novice chase (18/1) at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 17 days ago. Should improve. Maiden hurdle winner at Tramore last summer, remote third on chase debut at Wexford..
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +20%) Costanuci		8 8/1(+20%)																															(1) Costanuci 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Three wins from 7 runs last season. 13/2, good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.5f, soft). Off 6 months. Makes chase debut. In excellent form in handicap hurdles before a winter break, may need chasing experience.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -14%) Miss Oreo		16 16/1(-14%)																															(5) Miss Oreo 16/1, Fair hurdler. Fifth of 10 in novice chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft, 10/1) on debut over fences 17 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Significantly back up in trip. Some encouragement from her chasing debut at Wexford but that was not a strong race.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -52%) Electric Dreamer		100 100/1(-52%)																															(2) Electric Dreamer 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 100/1, pulled up in hunter chase at Thurles (24.6f, heavy) 112 days ago. Maiden point winner at Boulta last December, no encouragement from two hunter chase runs.
10	10 |F| (10) (66/1 -100%) Seventy Eight Team		66 66/1(-100%)																															(10) Seventy Eight Team 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft). Off 11 months. Makes chase debut. Failed to win in six starts in points, no threat in two runs over hurdles early last term.
6	6 |PU| (6) (11/1 -57%) Pebble Bleu		11 11/1(-57%)																															(6) Pebble Bleu 11/1, Fair chaser. Second of 7 in novice chase at Thurles (17.9f, heavy, 80/1) on debut over fences 57 days ago. Bold show likely if able to build on that. Vastly improved effort in a beginners' event on chase debut at Thurles, place chance again.
7	7 |PU| (7) (100/1 -100%) Sadies Diamond		100 100/1(-100%)																															(7) Sadies Diamond 100/1, Poor hurdler. 150/1, fifth of 7 in novice chase at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 17 days ago. Minor promise in bumpers, has struggled over jumps, tailed off at Wexford on chase debut.
4	4 |PU| (4) (200/1 -300%) Imperial Fox		200 200/1(-300%)																															(4) Imperial Fox 200/1, Pulled up in novice chase at Tramore (21.8f, good, 33/1) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Dual point winner on good ground, poor form on the track so far, up against it.

SAYLAVEE looks a class apart given a clear round on her chasing debut. The Willie Mullins-trained mare won four times (2 bumpers/2 hurdles) in 2022 including a Listed 2m3f Punchestown mares' novice and has been placed on both outings this year including a 3m handicap at Ayr last month. Costanuci was progressive over hurdles at a lower level last year winning three handicaps including when beating Sea Aster at the Listowel Festival, while Henning also won three hurdle races but hasn't progressed over fences and comes here off a fall at Ballinrobe. Pebble Bleu showed modest form over hurdles but gave some encouragement when second on her chase debut at Thurles.

SAYLAVEE's hurdles form is superior to anything that any of these rivals have achieved and, barring accidents, she should have little trouble in making a winning chase debut here. Pebble Bleu stepped up on her low-key exploits over timber when runner-up starting out in this sphere at Thurles and she is clear second choice ahead of Sea Aster.

This should be straightforward for SAYLAVEE who won a bumper at this venue and reached a good standard of form as a 137-rated hurdler.

7	7 (7) (5/1 +64%) Express Surprise		5 5/1(+64%)																															(7) Express Surprise 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted a respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Shortlisted. Lesser show on handicap debut when second favourite; now tongue tied and up in trip again.
1	9 1st (9) (9/4 +72%) Jaxonne		2.25 9/4(+72%)																															(9) Jaxonne 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden who posted his best effort when fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) 81 days ago. Needs to build on it now. Closer (still well beaten) on handicap debut last time; moving up in trip looks a positive.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 -27%) Awesome Foursome		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(4) Awesome Foursome 7/2, 12/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, good) 23 days ago. Visor on for 1st time and in the mix. 1-13 in handicaps, the win last September, but usually gives his running; first headgear.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 -13%) Bear Claws		9 9/1(-13%)																															(5) Bear Claws 9/1, Resumed winning ways on Flat at Wolverhampton last month so merits serious consideration back in this sphere off a handy-looking mark. Heavy defeats in last four Irish hurdle runs, latest last June; competitive lately on Flat.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 -40%) Musique De Fee		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(3) Musique De Fee 7/2, 20/1, much improved on his handicap debut when winning over C&D (good) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 4 lb rise. Improved to win handicap debut over C&D (good) latest, leading close home; up 4lb.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/2 +50%) Pearl Island		5.5 11/2(+50%)																															(1) Pearl Island 11/2, Still a maiden and only fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at this C&D (soft) 40 days ago. More is required. Made the frame in two bumpers but has not made much impact in his five starts over hurdles.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -60%) Fenney Brook		16 16/1(-60%)																															(6) Fenney Brook 16/1, C&D winner but only eleventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, soft) 46 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two C&D runs among her wins; 3rd in November, in between two heavy defeats; mixed messages.
7th	11 7th (11) (66/1 -32%) Alfie Sharp		66 66/1(-32%)																															(11) Alfie Sharp 66/1, 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Hard to warm to. Heavy defeats on all five starts, the latest on handicap debut at Stratford (3m2f; 80-1).
8th	10 8th (10) (100/1 -100%) Kracquer		100 100/1(-100%)																															(10) Kracquer 100/1, 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 138 days ago. Blinkers are reached for now. Cheekpieces latest and blinkers today; down the weights but it's hard to make a solid case.
8	8 |PU| (8) (14/1 -17%) Behind The Veil		14 14/1(-17%)																															(8) Behind The Veil 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Needed stiffer test when seventh of 13 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 125 days ago. Up in trip for her handicap debut so very much one to consider on the back of a wind op. Has not shown much in four starts; wind op; upped in trip, which will suit on pedigree.
2	2 |RO| (2) (33/1 -450%) Nadim		33 33/1(-450%)																															(2) Nadim 33/1, Visored for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/8) at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 8 months ago on his final run for Milton Harris. Cheekpieces back on with plenty more needed for his new yard. Quick hat-trick last July; not seen since tailed off in September, final run for M Harris.

Awesome Foursome has hit the frame on each of his last five outings, including his most recent third at Exeter and he could get into contention off a 1lb lower rating. However, preference is for MUSIQUE DE FEE, who got up by just under a length on her handicap bow here last month and she was given a 4lb rise for that triumph. With Sean Bowen booked, she could be the one to beat, while Jaxonne is well worth a second look.

A case can be made for a few of these but BEAR CLAWS returns to this sphere on a good mark and in winning form from the Flat so edges the vote. Behind The Veil is feared most now going handicapping on the back of breathing surgery, with Express Surprise and Musique de Fee also in the picture.

Further improvement from last month's lightly raced C&D handicap winner MUSIQUE DE FEE seems the most potent option.

1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +10%) Lope De Lilas		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(5) Lope De Lilas 9/2, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 11 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy, 6/4) on debut, not ideally placed. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Should progress. Ran below market expectations on sole run at two but the ground was heavy.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +39%) Finsceal Luas		2.75 11/4(+39%)																															(3) Finsceal Luas 11/4, Lightly-raced filly. 18/1, 8½ lengths tenth of 11 to A Lilac Rolla in 1000 Guineas Trial at this course (7.1f, heavy) 35 days ago, finding the competition too tough. Promises to do better back in calmer waters now upped in trip. Her fourth on good ground last season brings her into it; highly tried last time.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/4 -46%) Fleetingly		2.75 11/4(-46%)																															(4) Fleetingly 11/4, Twice-raced filly. Blinkered for 1st time, improved on debut form when second of 12 in maiden at Naas (10.4f, soft, 2/1) 13 days ago. Bred to be smart and she appeals as the type to do better again for her leading yard. Positively ridden in the blinkers at Naas but came up shy behind an unexposed filly.
4	7 4th (7) (7/2 +36%) Ob La Di		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(7) Ob La Di 7/2, €210,000 yearling, Blue Point filly. 12/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at this C&D (heavy) on debut 32 days ago, best work finish. Very much the type to improve. Group-race entered and lots to like about her debut fourth here a month ago.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +25%) North Africa		12 12/1(+25%)																															(6) North Africa 12/1, Galileo filly. Sister to 2 winners, including useful 2-y-o 7.4f/1m winner Ballet Shoes and half-sister to 6f/7f winner Powertrain. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Well-bred newcomer; jockey bookings would suggest that Fleetingly is the yard's number one.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 +0%) Comic Book		16 16/1(+0%)																															(2) Comic Book 16/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 9 in maiden (14/1) at this course (7f, good) on debut. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip and this promises to reveal more. Well held here last August but strong suspicion that she's a lot better than that.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 +0%) Breathe Again		50 50/1(+0%)																															(1) Breathe Again 50/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 12 in maiden (66/1) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 15 days ago, not knocked about. Looks the type to do better when tackling handicaps. Has something to find and others probably have the greater potential.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -122%) Shavasi		20 20/1(-122%)																															(8) Shavasi 20/1, Muhaarar filly. Closely related to 9f winner Huwaiteb and smart 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Marbaan, and half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 7.4f Convergence. Newcomer to note. Closely related to last season's smart 2yo Group 2 winner Marbaan.
9th	9 9th (9) (125/1 -150%) Vivacious Lady		125 125/1(-150%)																															(9) Vivacious Lady 125/1, €40,000 foal, €22,000 yearling, Waldgeist filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Qaroun and 6f/7f winner Puerto de Vega. 22,000 euros yearling; fifth foal; half-sister to smart winner Qaroun (7f/1m; RPR 98).

Some promising types in this maiden and OB LA DI is amongst them after her fourth over C&D last month. The winner of that contest wasn't beaten far in the Cheshire Oaks and Johnny Murtagh's Blue Point filly may improve for better ground. She is well entered up in Group contests. Fleetingly improved from her debut to finish second over this trip at Naas and has to be respected. Lope De Lilas holds an Irish Oaks entry and was a warm order for her debut at Galway in the autumn where heavy ground may have counted against her. The 88-rated Finsceal Luas takes a marked step up in trip and is fitted with a tongue-tie while newcomer Shavasi is related to Group winners.

FLEETINGLY has a long way to go if she's to live up to her pedigree but she took a step forward from her debut when second in a Naas maiden 2 weeks ago and she could be worth siding with to take another step forward. Finsceal Luas will benefit from the return to calmer waters and is feared, with Ob La Di and Lope de Lilas other likely improvers.

A few with chances in an interesting maiden. OB LA DI might be the answer if able to build on her eyecatching debut here a month ago.

1	1 1st (1) (13/8 +71%) Sea Legend		1.625 13/8(+71%)																															(1) Sea Legend 13/8, Low-mileage 4-y-o who ran respectably when third of 6 in minor event at Naas (10f, good) on final start for J. A. Stack when last seen 12 months ago. Gelded ahead of return/yard debut and he'll be of interest if the market speaks in his favour now handicapping. Hooded 1st time. Makes stable debut after a year off; has shown considerable promise in light Irish career.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -38%) Jean Baptiste		9 9/1(-38%)																															(2) Jean Baptiste 9/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, very good second of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 13 days ago, headed final 1f and keeping on. That was his first start for 7 months and no surprise to see him give another good account. On a long losing run but good second at Ayr on reappearance and also effective here.
3	8 3rd (8) (16/1 -60%) Percy Willis		16 16/1(-60%)																															(8) Percy Willis 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in March. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 6/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. His wins have come over further but he likes it here and might not be far away.
4	10 4th (10) (18/1 -80%) Molinari		18 18/1(-80%)																															(10) Molinari 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Should be sharper given that was his first start for 7 months. Continues to drop down the weights but this 7yo has a regressive profile.
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 +53%) Bohemian Breeze		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(6) Bohemian Breeze 15/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 14/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has dropped below his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game.
6th	9 6th (9) (22/1 -120%) Sense Of Worth		22 22/1(-120%)																															(9) Sense Of Worth 22/1, 12/1, seventh of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, heavy) 33 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Return to AW rates a likely plus and no surprise to see a better showing. In good form on Tapeta (including C&D) before last month's turf flop; can be in the mix.
7th	7 7th (7) (4/1 -20%) My Little Queens		4 4/1(-20%)																															(7) My Little Queens 4/1, 6/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (11.1f, good to soft) 7 days ago, leading on bridle 2f out and drawing clear. Definite claims under a penalty if arriving here in same form. Smooth win at Hamilton last Sunday and effective over C&D; key player under 5lb penalty.
8th	4 8th (4) (15/2 +6%) Fearless Bay		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(4) Fearless Bay 15/2, C&D winner who confirmed he retains plenty of ability on the back of 18 months off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 25/1) 17 days ago, eased late having been snatched up final 1f. Possible he can build on that now. Good AW strike-rate (including C&D win); could build upon recent positive comeback run.
9th	3 9th (3) (16/1 -14%) Roll It In Glitter		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Roll It In Glitter 16/1, Successful on 2 of his 3 starts as a 3-y-o but looked rusty and never figured on the back of 9 months off when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good, 5/1) 13 days ago. This should reveal more. 2-3 during truncated campaign last season; disappointing on return but not written off.
10th	5 10th (5) (25/1 -651%) Abbey Gardens		25 25/1(-651%)																															(5) Abbey Gardens 25/1, Built on debut promise when winning 8-runner novice here (1m) in November and not disgraced under a penalty when third at Southwell (7f) later that month. Changed hands for 22,000 gns in December and type new yard do well with in handicaps. Market should guide. Lightly raced 1m course novice winner; has potential now up in trip on h'cap/stable debut.

Sea Legend posted some respectable form during his time in Ireland and has to be of interest with a hood applied on stable debut for the James Fanshawe yard. Abbey Gardens has also switched yards since she was last seen and is worth a betting check for a shrewd operation. However, there are some wily characters in opposition this time, with none appealing more for a bit of value than SENSE OF WORTH, who shades preference returning to the all-weather.

MY LITTLE QUEENS capitalised on her reduced mark and justified good support in the process when readily landing an 8-runner Hamilton handicap 7 days ago and she could well be worth siding with to follow up under a penalty. Sea Legend is an interesting runner on yard/handicap debut following an absence, with Abbey Gardens and Jean Baptiste others worth a look.

Having bolted up at Hamilton last Sunday, MY LITTLE QUEENS is taken to defy a 5lb penalty. She has run well over this C&D in the past.

1	1 1st (1) (16/1 -60%) Tronador		16 16/1(-60%)																															(1) Tronador 16/1, More miss than hit for Gordon Elliott last season and fell at Aintree a month ago, so something to prove debuting for new yard. Very useful at his best but fell heavily last month and has a bit to prove on stable debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/5 +20%) Ilanz		2.2 11/5(+20%)																															(4) Ilanz 11/5, Made light of an 11-month absence at Wincanton (2½m) in January, leading on the line. Only sixth at Kelso next time but has left Anthony Charlton and had a break since. Definite player if new handler has got him back on track. Won for Anthony Charlton in January, after a layoff, and may progress again for new stable.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/4 +29%) Yalla Habibi		1.25 5/4(+29%)																															(3) Yalla Habibi 5/4, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Kempton (16f, good, 5/2) 20 days ago, running on. Progressing well since joining this stable and longer trip should be fine, so leading claims in the hat-trick bid. 2-2 for new yard last month and has plenty of scope for further progress; back up in trip.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 -118%) A Tickatickatiming		6 6/1(-118%)																															(5) A Tickatickatiming 6/1, Fair bumper winner and matched that level over hurdles when holding on gamely for success in 2m mares' maiden at this track (15.9f) in November. At least respectable efforts both starts since and should be on the premises again. Course maiden winner; second to a big improver over C&D on handicap debut in March.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 -8%) Wild Max		7 7/1(-8%)																															(2) Wild Max 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler who developed into a better chaser in 2022. Off 20 months and down the field last two starts, so still to prove that he retains all of his ability. Triple chase winner in 2022 but back from long absence with two underwhelming hurdle runs.

The hat-trick seeking Yalla Habibi is a good starting point, as he is 2-2 for his current yard and looks capable of handling the 5lb rise imposed after his win at Kempton last month. However, this is a deeper race and there is an additional half a mile to tackle. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on A TICKATICKATIMING, who was a respectable second to a progressive type over C&D in March and notably runs off 1lb lower here. Ilanz completes the shortlist.

YALLA HABIBI is two from two for Harriet Dickin and had something to spare at Kempton last time, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick. A Tickatickatiming should give another good account and Ilanz can get involved if revived by his new yard.

Preference is for A TICKATICKATIMING, who ran well in defeat behind a major improver over C&D on her handicap debut in March.

1	2 1st (2) (20/1 -150%) Brideswell Lad		20 20/1(-150%)																															(2) Brideswell Lad 20/1, Latest win in chase at Leopardstown in March. Respectable fifth of 17 in handicap chase (22/1) at Punchestown (20.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Up in trip and he's likely to find a few too good. Won a Listed handicap chase at Leopardstown in March; jumping was untidy at Punchestown.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/1 -45%) Stealthy Tom		8 8/1(-45%)																															(1) Stealthy Tom 8/1, 12/1, below form thirteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.8f, soft) 38 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Four wins from five visits to this track, worth considering despite a big burden..
3	13 3rd (13) (11/4 +45%) Midnight Our Fred		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(13) Midnight Our Fred 11/4, 11/2, very good second of 16 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (28.1f, good) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Big player. Second at Cheltenham on all three handicap starts, suited by good ground; could go well.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 +25%) Macgiloney		12 12/1(+25%)																															(10) Macgiloney 12/1, Reliable sort. First run since leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce when creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft, 10/1) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Over three years since the second of his two wins over fences, fair run at Wexford.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 +0%) Hascoeur Clermont		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Hascoeur Clermont 16/1, Latest win in chase at Cheltenham in November. Pulled up in handicap chase (33/1) at Doncaster (24f, good) 106 days ago. Possibly in the handicapper's grip for now. Chase wins gained on heavy and soft, failed to prosper in two good-ground runs in Britain.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/2 -38%) Jumping Jet		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(6) Jumping Jet 11/2, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap chase (5/1) at Downpatrick (28.8f, good) 16 days ago. Yard also saddles Cavalry Master and The Abbey. Possibilities. Won 3m5f Ulster National at Downpatrick, up 7lb, may remain competitive, good claimer.
7th	15 7th (15) (12/1 +64%) The Little Yank		12 12/1(+64%)																															(15) The Little Yank 12/1, Twenty-seven runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy, 7/2) 41 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Plenty to find on form. On a long losing run at the moment, 6lb out of the handicap, faces a tough task.
8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 +21%) Potters Party		11 11/1(+21%)																															(12) Potters Party 11/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at Fairyhouse (24.3f, heavy) 148 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Tame effort on handicap debut at Fairyhouse, back from a break, new headgear combination..
9th	3 9th (3) (10/1 +38%) West Cork Wildway		10 10/1(+38%)																															(3) West Cork Wildway 10/1, Fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 31 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip with cheekpieces back on and he'd be a threat if scaling a revival. Fair run in a handicap hurdle at Limerick a month ago but is 10lb higher over fences.
8	8 |F| (8) (11/1 +0%) True Faith		11 11/1(+0%)																															(8) True Faith 11/1, 9/4, didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner minor event chase at Gowran (25f, good to soft). Off 19 months ahead of this handicap debut, so wellbeing has to be taken on trust but he could be on a good mark and needs a close look in the betting. Took to chasing well two seasons ago winning the last two of his four races, long absence.
7	7 |F| (7) (22/1 -120%) Cavalry Master		22 22/1(-120%)																															(7) Cavalry Master 22/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 6 in handicap chase (5/1) at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's in with an each-way shout. Only just denied in a veterans' chase at Wexford, this company will be more demanding.
11	11 |U| (11) (40/1 -21%) Fakiera		40 40/1(-21%)																															(11) Fakiera 40/1, Unreliable sort. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. 28/1, 33½ lengths tenth of 14 to Jumping Jet in handicap chase at Downpatrick (28.8f, good) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Now 0-16 over fences having finished down the field behind Jumping Jet in Ulster National.
10th	14 10th (14) (12/1 +14%) The Abbey		12 12/1(+14%)																															(14) The Abbey 12/1, 11/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly. Fourth behind today's rival Brideswell Lad at Leopardstown, no progress at Down Royal.
11th	5 11th (5) (33/1 -175%) Irish Blaze		33 33/1(-175%)																															(5) Irish Blaze 33/1, Latest win in chase at Down Royal in January. 18/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, soft) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip and couldn't rule out. Had done well on his three Irish starts for Cian Collins, stamina may be an issue.
4	4 |PU| (4) (16/1 -129%) Birchdale		16 16/1(-129%)																															(4) Birchdale 16/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown in November. Pulled up in minor event chase at Punchestown (33f, good to soft, 4/1) 10 days ago, pulled up before last. Back down in trip and blinkers back on. Creditable third behind Brideswell Lad at Leopardstown, ran out of steam in La Touche Cup.

JUMPING JET bids for his second 'National' in just over a fortnight after showing great reserves of stamina to take the Ulster version at Downpatrick and should give a good account off a 7lb higher mark. Midnight Our Fred has filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings in staying handicaps at Cheltenham and deserves a change of luck, while Cavalry Master and Macgiloney filled the places behind Shadow Master over 2m3f at Wexford last month and both are effective over a longer trip. Birchdale still held every chance when falling two out in this race last year but needs to bounce back after being pulled up before the last in the La Touche at Punchestown recently. Stealthy Tom is a four-time winner here over fences.

A much-deserved first success over fences beckons for MIDNIGHT OUR FRED, who has found just one too good on each of his three starts since switched to handicaps in this sphere (all at Cheltenham). He was clear of the rest when chasing home another novice upped to 3½m back from a break last month and is 1 lb lower here. True Faith is very much of interest, despite returning form a lengthy absence, and he is feared most ahead of Jumping Jet, who looks the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained trio.

A wide-open race in which MIDNIGHT OUR FRED has an excellent chance of going one better after three seconds at Cheltenham.

2	2 (2) (10/1 -25%) Kapamazov		10 10/1(-25%)																															(2) Kapamazov 10/1, Fair maiden who failed to see his race out having raced freely when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.5f) 3 weeks ago. Goes up further in trip now and not out of things provided he settles better. Respectable runs for new yard in his three handicaps but he needs to find something extra.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -186%) Kingston Kid		40 40/1(-186%)																															(1) Kingston Kid 40/1, Boasts just the one win from 25 NH runs and out of sorts when last seen for Eugene M. O'Sullivan during second half of last year. Passed over on stable debut. Out of form last autumn in his last two runs for Eugene O'Sullivan; usually wears headgear.
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -167%) Bethpage		6 6/1(-167%)																															(3) Bethpage 6/1, Some encouragement in bumpers/mares' maidens and, well backed, saw off stable mate to make a winning handicap debut at Fontwell (17.7f) 23 days ago, asserting run in. Has to be of interest again now she's up and running. Up in trip. Won eight-runner race at Fontwell (2m1f, good) by 4l last time on handicap debut; up 5lb.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 -50%) Mactavish		5 5/1(-50%)																															(4) Mactavish 5/1, Scored twice at Hereford late last year and creditable efforts in defeat from inflated marks thereafter. Probably needs to pull out a bit more but not discounted if arriving in same form following 129 days off. 129-day absence asks a question but he'll be a contender if resuming on song.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/2 +83%) Karakoram		3.5 7/2(+83%)																															(10) Karakoram 7/2, Successful at Taunton last spring but largely underwhelming efforts since despite sliding mark, fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft, 6/1) 5 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Tuesday's run at Ffos Las off this career-low mark needs improving on markedly.
4	11 4th (11) (17/2 +47%) No Worries		8.5 17/2(+47%)																															(11) No Worries 17/2, Veteran who won 3 times over hurdles in 2021/22 season and struck on chase debut thereafter. However, largely out sorts over hurdles during second half of last year. 6-month break needs to have perked him up. Out of form in the autumn; had good record after a break, prior to last season.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/2 +30%) Flashy Boy		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(7) Flashy Boy 7/2, Point winner who offered signs of encouragement over hurdles for Tom Lacey despite looking rather slow. Moved yards and had a breathing operation prior to return (tongue strap now on, too). Market confidence behind him would look significant. 1-5 in Irish points and 0-5 (modest form) for T Lacey over hurdles; wind op and tongue-tie.
6th	9 6th (9) (9/1 +55%) Methusalar		9 9/1(+55%)																															(9) Methusalar 9/1, Winner at Bangor for Alan King back in 2022 but struggled for present connections over both sets of obstacles in recent months. Cheekpieces reached for now. Essentially disappointing since winning over hurdles in May 2022; now tries cheekpieces.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 -17%) Deadlock		7 7/1(-17%)																															(6) Deadlock 7/1, Fair form on the Flat and he ran creditably when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (20.7f, good) in March. Feasible to think he could yet have more to offer in this sphere so worth a second look. 0-8; stayed on for fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last time; could have a say.
8th	5 8th (5) (22/1 +33%) Pawpaw		22 22/1(+33%)																															(5) Pawpaw 22/1, Scored twice for David Bridgwater last spring but he needs to bounce back in a major way after a break/returned to hurdles following a handful of poor runs over fences for present yard. Two chase wins at 2m5f (good to soft) for David Bridgwater last spring; form has nosedived.
8	8 |F| (8) (33/1 -136%) Chinook		33 33/1(-136%)																															(8) Chinook 33/1, Ex-Irish mare ran well on second start for this stable when fifth over C&D last spring but not scaled same heights since, only sixth of 8 in a C&D handicap back from 5 months off 18 days ago. Has a reduced mark but needs a revival on this second run since her winter break.

BETHPAGE proved a decisive winner on her handicap bow when getting the better of her stablemate at Fontwell last month. The daughter of Getaway should relish this rise in distance and she could make light work of a 5lb rise in the ratings. Mactavish may appreciate this drop back in distance and the seven-year-old is feared most on his return to action, ahead of Flashy Boy, who could be freshened up by a change of scenery on his debut for Fergal O'Brien.

BETHPAGE showed improved form to make a winning handicap debut at Fontwell 23 days ago and, now up and running, she looks of interest again boasting a far less exposed profile than most. Flashy Boy is another worth monitoring now handicapping on return for his new yard and market confidence behind him would look significant. Deadlock and Mactavish complete the shortlist.

Bethpage faces a significantly longer trip and DEADLOCK, who's in only his third handicap, looks a more assured stayer.

7	7 (7) (25/1 -14%) Joe Masseria		25 25/1(-14%)																															(7) Joe Masseria 25/1, Last of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Cork (7f, heavy) 43 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Down the field in both his runs for this yard and he enjoys significant cut underfoot.
9	9 (9) (25/1 +11%) Lady Arwen		25 25/1(+11%)																															(9) Lady Arwen 25/1, 25/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 18 days ago, possibly in need of the run after 7 months off. Significantly up in trip. All three wins have been at 7f or 1m and hasn't shone when sent further.
1	6 1st (6) (9/4 +59%) Saturn		2.25 9/4(+59%)																															(6) Saturn 9/4, Promising sort. Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner maiden at Dundalk (12f, 10/3). Off 165 days. Makes handicap debut. Shortlist material. Made it fourth-time lucky in a weak 1m4f maiden at Dundalk in November; regally bred.
2	2 2nd (2) (16/5 +47%) Ethical Diamond		3.2 16/5(+47%)																															(2) Ethical Diamond 16/5, Improved to make third Flat start a winning one for Michael O'Meara at Limerick (12.3f) last summer. Useful effort on second of his 3 starts over hurdles for this yard and no doubt he can rate higher still back in this sphere now handicapping. 1m4f maiden winner; hurdling campaign didn't go to plan but still ran well in a Grade 1.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +14%) Global Energy		6 6/1(+14%)																															(5) Global Energy 6/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 3/1, good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 32 days ago. Should go well again. Progressive of late in the mud and obvious claims if as effective on this surface.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -100%) Squire Danagher		18 18/1(-100%)																															(4) Squire Danagher 18/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in March. 5/2, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Improvement has come on the AW and was down the field at Navan last time.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 -100%) Chavajod		28 28/1(-100%)																															(8) Chavajod 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at Dundalk in January. 15/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap back at that venue (1m) 51 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Has been in good form on the AW but exposed now and others are more intriguing.
6th	10 6th (10) (13/2 +59%) Hutton Glen		6.5 13/2(+59%)																															(10) Hutton Glen 13/2, Fairly useful maiden who finished a creditable fourth of 8 in maiden at this course (9f, good) when last seen in September. Not discounted on return. Consistent maiden; this looks a stronger handicap than the previous one he contested.
7th	1 7th (1) (12/1 -140%) Ceallach		12 12/1(-140%)																															(1) Ceallach 12/1, 4/7, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Dundalk (12f) in December, produced to lead over 1f out and just pushed out. All 5 victories to date have come at Dundalk but lower turf mark to operate from and not out of things. Best form on the AW but handicapped accordingly and in form when last seen.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 +0%) Come On The Lads		10 10/1(+0%)																															(13) Come On The Lads 10/1, 4/1, respectable sixth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft) 6 days ago, going off too hard. Significantly back up in trip. Something to find on form. Has races in him off this mark but best form to date has been at 1m.
9th	12 9th (12) (14/1 -27%) Complete Fiction		14 14/1(-27%)																															(12) Complete Fiction 14/1, Course winner. 4/1, career best when winning 18-runner handicap at Galway (8.6f, soft) in August, doing well to get to one who had got first run. Successful on respective return last year but career high mark to defy this time around. Progressive last summer and would have a shout if resuming where he left off.
10th	3 10th (3) (20/1 +50%) Grey Leader		20 20/1(+50%)																															(3) Grey Leader 20/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (25/1) at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Won three of his first five starts but was well behind on handicap debut at the Curragh.
11th	11 11th (11) (50/1 -213%) Jaafel		50 50/1(-213%)																															(11) Jaafel 50/1, First run since leaving Sean Davis when eleventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely to prove vulnerable to less exposed sorts here. Might not have liked the soft ground at Cork but he's not crying out to be backed.

ETHICAL DIAMOND was bought for plenty of money after winning a 1m4f Limerick maiden for Michael O'Meara last summer and this will be his first start on the level since then. The Awtaad gelding has been hurdling over the winter and ran notably well in a Grade 1 at the Dublin Racing Festival. This trip might be a bit sharp but he looks potentially well handicapped. Saturn is also of interest in his first handicap. Out of the high-class Alpha Centauri, he won an all-weather maiden in good style in November and there should be more to come from him this season. Grey Leader won three times last term including on good ground at Listowel. He may have needed last month's comeback at the Curragh and now steps up in trip.

The well-bred SATURN resumed progress equipped with a first-time tongue strap when successful in a Dundalk maiden in November and he looks the type to improve further now his sights are set on handicaps. Ethical Diamond is another of interest for Willie Mullins, with Ceallach and Global Energy another pair to consider.

The interesting runner is ETHICAL DIAMOND who is thoroughly unexposed now returned to the Flat on goodish ground.

Return to this longer trip worth exploring and he's one to consider. Has kept on well when going close over 1m on first two starts for this yard.

Consistency hard to knock on AW this year and he's another in the mix. Has made the frame on all four runs this year; every chance he'll be thereabouts once more.

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (3/1) 50 days ago, winning cosily having showed a good turn of foot. Steps up in class now but possibilities again in present groove. Did it a shade cosily when completing C&D double last time and he holds solid claims.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +0%) Real Terms		12 12/1(+0%)																															(3) Real Terms 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. Sixth of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Thirsk (12f, heavy) 33 days ago, dropping away over 2f out. Needs to bounce back returned to this surface but that is distinctly possible. Won at Southwell in March and excuses the next twice; could come back with a big run.
5th	9 5th (9) (22/1 -120%) No Recollection		22 22/1(-120%)																															(9) No Recollection 22/1, 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, second of 4 in handicap at this course (12.4f) 16 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Needs to build on that now. Second of four here recently when back from break; not guaranteed to back that up.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 +10%) Chantico		9 9/1(+10%)																															(6) Chantico 9/1, Ran best race yet for present stable when second at Bath (10.2f, heavy) last month. Disappointed when last of 9 at Pontefract (10f) 11 days ago and connections opt for the refitting of a visor now. Flopped just 11 days ago but went close prior to that and is unexposed at today's trip.
7th	2 7th (2) (7/2 +40%) Yeoman		3.5 7/2(+40%)																															(2) Yeoman 7/2, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 38 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. On a handy mark judged on the pick of 3-y-o efforts and is one to bear in mind. Engaged 1.15 Lingfield Saturday. Three wins on Wolverhampton Tapeta last year; could play leading role.
8th	5 8th (5) (13/2 -8%) Jack Sparowe		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(5) Jack Sparowe 13/2, Dual winner at up to 11f last term and he ran well returning from 5 months off when fifth of 14 in handicap at Windsor (10f) 4 weeks ago, staying on to be nearest at the finish. Should continue in form. Two wins last year; promising reappearance & could be set for another productive campaign.
9th	1 9th (1) (11/1 -10%) Anjo Bonita		11 11/1(-10%)																															(1) Anjo Bonita 11/1, Made a bright start for this yard last term, winning handicaps at Hamilton/York prior to a good third at first-named venue (8.3f) on final outing in October. Revised mark demands that bit more but she returns to action with her yard amongst the winners. Did very well after joining this yard last summer; could go well on AW/seasonal debut.
10th	4 10th (4) (12/1 +0%) Furzig		12 12/1(+0%)																															(4) Furzig 12/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. On a reduced mark but on a losing sequence and the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus.

Natzor has filled the runner-up spot on both starts for the David O'Meara yard and is likely to go well once again off the same mark as his most recent effort at Hamilton. However, he could come out second best to ANJO BONITA, who has been victorious on two of her last three outings and she gets the vote to make a winning return to action. Furzig is another to keep an eye on.

NATZOR cemented the positive start made for David O'Meara when finishing a good second at Hamilton 7 days ago and, worth another crack at this longer trip on that evidence, he shades the vote to come out on top. Ludo's Landing and Jack Sparowe are others to consider, along with the thriving Prince Achille. Yeoman would also need factoring in if taking up this engagement.

The step back up in trip could be just what NATZOR needs to post a first win and he earns the vote, with Prince Achille feared.

1	1 (1) (8/1 -129%) Judge Earle		8 8/1(-129%)																															(1) Judge Earle 8/1, Back in the groove when landing handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Worcester (both over 2½m) in July. Ended 2023 in pretty tame fashion fitted in this headgear, however, so bit to prove after 7 months off. 12yo; tailed off last October when last seen but returns to action on a feasible mark.
1	4 1st (4) (7/2 -17%) Copperhead		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(4) Copperhead 7/2, Hasn't really looked like winning a race since his fine novice campaign back in 2019/20 but efforts in defeat last season have been largely solid. Should be thereabouts. His mark continues to fall but he's on a losing run and has been expensive to follow.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 -20%) Northern Poet		2.25 9/4(-20%)																															(2) Northern Poet 9/4, Recorded a hat-trick switched to fences in the second half of 2022/23. Seen only 3 times last season but shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 16 at Cheltenham (28.1f) 25 days ago, looking as if he'd play a major part before seeming stretched by the longer trip. Headgear on. Fifth at Kempton and Cheltenham the last twice, respectable efforts in today's context.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/8 +66%) Blade Runner		1.875 15/8(+66%)																															(3) Blade Runner 15/8, Made it 5 wins from his first 6 starts over fences when taking C&D handicap in the autumn. Pulled up 4 of his next 5 starts, however. Visor back on. Pulled up on four of his last five starts but he's a four-time winner here; respected.
4	5 4th (5) (7/2 +36%) Jacamar		3.5 7/2(+36%)																															(5) Jacamar 7/2, Made the frame on several occasions last term but below par last 3 starts, including in debut for this yard. Well treated on C&D form as recent as January but soundly beaten on his three runs since.

This could prove a suitable opportunity for COPPERHEAD to get back on the scoresheet. Although Joe Tizzard's inmate has proved expensive to follow the last twice, the return to quicker ground conditions may prove fruitful. Jacamar failed to justify favouritism when only third of four on his stable bow at Ludlow last month, but the nine-year-old cannot be given up on yet, while Judge Earle could go very well if allowed a soft lead.

NORTHERN POET looked set to play a major role before seemingly stretched by the longer trip at Cheltenham last month so looks the way to go back down in distance/class. Copperhead looks the most solid alternative.

Preference is for BLADE RUNNER, who was pulled up at Cheltenham last month but has an excellent record here.

FLORIDA STRAIT makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being a brother to Irish Cesarewitch winner Magellan Strait and the dam has produced plenty of winners, including another useful stayer Lagostovegas, who won at Royal Ascot. Patrick Mullins is an interesting booking on Kalium who cost 62,000 euro last summer and is a half-brother to a couple of winners in France while Gather Yourself, Light On His Feet and Derryville are other newcomers to note. Those with form make limited appeal, although the heavy going was put forward as an excuse for Spinola Bay when he was bitterly disappointing at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting.

FLORIDA STRAIT and Kalium both make plenty of appeal on paper and are expected to come to the fore. The former is particularly appealing and shades preference ahead of Sean Doyle's representative, for whom the booking of Patrick Mullins catches the eye. Spinola Bay was disappointing on his introduction at Fairyhouse but better was clearly expected (strong in the betting that day) and he is best of the rest.

The market may help to clarify the picture, but the Flat-bred FLORIDA STRAIT gets the vote to beat Kalium and Spinola Bay.

1	1 (1) (6/1 +25%) Saint Bibiana		6 6/1(+25%)																															(1) Saint Bibiana 6/1, Arrives in good nick, shaping as though a stiffer test would suit when third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark. Placed at Southwell (2m4f) last month in her two handicap hurdles; needs a bit extra.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +0%) Call Me Arthur		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(2) Call Me Arthur 9/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 20 days ago.

Hard to warm to. 0-18 overall, 15 of which were over hurdles; there has been a smattering of minor honours.
3	3 (3) (20/1 +0%) I Got Stung		20 20/1(+0%)																															(3) I Got Stung 20/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, held when fell 2 out in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good) 19 days ago.

Eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good, 100/1) 28 days ago. Up in trip with more needed on his handicap hurdle debut. Hard to say three hurdle races represent worthwhile form; handicap debut and upped in trip.

I LOOK HOW I LOOK posted another creditable effort in defeat when runner-up behind a progressive rival at this venue recently. Dan Skelton's mare shapes as if this greater emphasis on stamina could unlock some potential and compensation could beckon. The biggest threat may emerge from Call Me Arthur, who bounced back to form when second at Ffos Las last month, while a first-time visor could spark enough interest from Fantomas for the eight-year-old to feature too.

A few with chances but SAINT BIBIANA should prove suited by this step up in trip so looks the way to go off a lenient mark in her bid for a breakthrough hurdling victory. Call Me Arthur is feared most on the back of his good Ffos Las second, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of I Look How I Look, Lion's Vigil and Fantomas.

This looks tricky but I LOOK HOW I LOOK produced an encouraging second over 2m5f here 18 days ago. Call Me Arthur is second choice.

1	3 1st (3) (11/8 +39%) Ortelius		1.375 11/8(+39%)																															(3) Ortelius 11/8, Promising type. Second of 9 in maiden at this course (10f, heavy, 5/6) 32 days ago. There's a bigger performance in him, particularly now upped in trip, and he should be better than a mark of 85. Beaten three times but this mark could still underestimate his potential.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +23%) Invention		5 5/1(+23%)																															(2) Invention 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/3, third of 9 in maiden at this course (10f, heavy) 32 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Going the right way and capable of making his presence felt with another step forward. Unexposed on this quicker ground and he looks certain to benefit for going 1m4f.

Below par the last twice but he good ground perhaps the key judged on maiden win.
4	6 4th (6) (7/1 -17%) Natural Ruler		7 7/1(-17%)																															(6) Natural Ruler 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 9 in handicap at Cork (12.1f, good to soft, 11/4) 16 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. Up 6lb for his Cork defeat and this looks sure to take more winning.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 +10%) Huxley		9 9/1(+10%)																															(4) Huxley 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in maiden (5/4) at Dundalk (10.7f) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut. May yet do better. One of his five runs stands out; on balance, others are more intriguing.
6th	8 6th (8) (22/1 -83%) Cloud Seeker		22 22/1(-83%)																															(8) Cloud Seeker 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 8 in handicap (5/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Could do better still. Placed in both handiacps; races will come his way but this looks stronger again.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 -82%) Benvoy		40 40/1(-82%)																															(7) Benvoy 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 9 in maiden at this course (10f, heavy) 32 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others preferred. Well behind two of today's rivals on his reappearance here in a maiden.
8th	5 8th (5) (5/1 +9%) Cow Chico		5 5/1(+9%)																															(5) Cow Chico 5/1, Confirmed debut promise when winning 9-runner maiden (1/3) at Dundalk (10.7f) 72 days ago, readily. Makes handicap debut with further progress on the cards, so definite player. Easy winner of a Dundalk maiden and this colt has the pedigree to keep progressing.

ORTELIUS showed promise in two juvenile outings on decent ground and probably was inconvenienced by testing conditions when second to a stablemate here on his return over 1m2f. Sent off odds-on that day, the Justify colt could be well treated for his handicap debut and promises to be suited by this longer trip. Invention was just a head behind the selection last time and is now 6lb better off including his rider's claim. Cow Chico readily won an all-weather maiden in March under Kevin Stott and he comes over to resume the partnership. The Frankel colt is another unexposed contender.

ORTELIUS has shaped with encouragement on each of his three outings to date, shaping like this step up in trip will be firmly in his favour, so this seven-figure yearling purchase is worth a chance to defy an opening mark of 85 at the possible expense of Cow Chico, an impressive winner at Dundalk last time. Natural Ruler is one of several others with potential.

Aidan O'Brien has won many a handicap with horses bound for Group races and such ambitions remain realistic for ORTELIUS.

1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +0%) Chaturanga		5 5/1(+0%)																															(3) Chaturanga 5/1, Won 6f Redcar maiden and 7f Haydock novice on first 2 starts. Produced a laboured effort when fifth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m) was step back in right direction; AW debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 +6%) Alpen Power		8.5 17/2(+6%)																															(5) Alpen Power 17/2, Improved when third Chelmsford City (10f, 9/1) on penultimate outing but below form meeting more testing ground when sixth of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, soft, 9/1) 16 days ago. Others make greater appeal. His top two runs were a win and close 3rd on Chelmsford AW; ran poorly on turf latest.

4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -344%) Cloudy Skye		20 20/1(-344%)																															(6) Cloudy Skye 20/1, Promise when third on first 2 outings and likely unsuited by very testing ground when well-held sixth last time. Remains capable of better now handicapping after 7 months off. This move up from 7.4f looks interesting for her seasonal, handicap and AW debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 -20%) Rocket Warrior		4 4/1(-20%)																															(4) Rocket Warrior 4/1, Won at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March before following up in 14-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 15/2) a fortnight later. Up another 5 lb but seems straighforward and should go well again. AW handicap wins at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Chelmsford (1m2f; 5lb higher today) in March.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/3 +17%) Monsieur Melee		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(7) Monsieur Melee 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 16 days ago, nearest finish after meeting trouble. Makes tapeta debut. Shortlist material. Staying-on fifth of 12 at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) 16 days ago; makes AW debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 +9%) Curran		10 10/1(+9%)																															(1) Curran 10/1, Won minor events over C&D and at Pontefract last season. Ran no sort of race in handicap at Doncaster last time, stopping quickly having led until 3f out, so has something to prove now. Chance seemingly depends on whether soft ground was to blame for last two outings.

MAFNOOD was beaten five lengths into second on his return to action at Doncaster last month and he could take a step forward from that effort. Richard Hannon's gelding remains on the same mark and may find the improvement needed to go one better. The main threat might be the hat-trick seeking Rocket Warrior, who went in by a length at Chelmsford in March and it would be no surprise to see him feature. Of the remainder, Cloudy Skye makes the most appeal on her handicap debut.

MONSIEUR MELEE showed plenty to be positive about at Sandown last time and Jedd O'Keeffe's gelding is fancied to get off the mark at the chief expense of the hat-trick seeking Rocket Warrior. Mafnood can complete the placings.

Rocket Warrior bids for a hat-trick on the AW but there are other intriguing options, including Monsieur Melee and MAFNOOD.

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +0%) Dance And Glance		2.25 9/4(+0%)																															(4) Dance And Glance 9/4, Has an appealing pedigree and shaped as if better for the run when mid-field in 20-runner bumper at Newbury on debut. This looks easier and he should up his game. Encouraging tenth of 20 on debut in warm sales bumper at Newbury; entitled to respect.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 +36%) The Sainted Canary		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(3) The Sainted Canary 9/2, Half-brother to fair chaser Tractor Fred and showed a bit to work on when fourth at Ascot 5 months ago. Looks more one for the long term, however. Fourth of six on debut at Ascot (1m7f, good) last November and that form reads well.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +60%) Tackletommywoowoo		10 10/1(+60%)																															(7) Tackletommywoowoo 10/1, £13,500 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Redwood Queen. Might take time to come good. Half-brother to 2m1f h'dle winner (RPR 100); others are more compelling than this newcomer.
4	2 4th (2) (40/1 +39%) Tank Top		40 40/1(+39%)																															(2) Tank Top 40/1, Didn't show much at Doncaster 4 months ago and looks firmly up against it again. 50-1 when tailed off on debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in January.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +42%) Moon Monarch		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(5) Moon Monarch 7/2, Sea Moon colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Scipion and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Classic Concorde. Interesting newcomer. 7,000euros foal; bred to have a future but may require a longer trip.
6th	1 6th (1) (3/1 -117%) Eileen's Milan		3 3/1(-117%)																															(1) Eileen's Milan 3/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Brother to a winner, and half-brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Farren Glory and useful hurdler Croke Park. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Has a useful pedigree and is in top hands; could play a leading role on debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -180%) Walk With Charisma		28 28/1(-180%)																															(8) Walk With Charisma 28/1, Closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Norton Hill, and half-brother to 2 winners. Looked green when ninth of 12 at Bangor first time up but should have at least learned something from it. Sent off at just 4-1 for last month's debut at Bangor but was tailed off.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 -100%) Sixty Plus		28 28/1(-100%)																															(6) Sixty Plus 28/1, Better effort in bumpers when third at Fakenham last time but will need to step forward again if he's to have any sort of chance in this. Third at Fakenham last month on second start; needs another step forward today.

Dance And Glance offered something to work with on his 10th-placed debut in a valuable bumper at Newbury in March. Anthony Honeyball's gelding is likely to prove more competitive in these calmer waters and he isn't taken lightly. However, EILEEN'S MILAN, a half-brother to Irish Grade 1-winning hurdler Farren Glory, boasts a smart pedigree. The son of Milan could take this en route to bigger things, while market support for fellow newcomer Moon Monarch would also be interesting.

EILEEN'S MILAN is related to a bumper winner and represents top connections, so he's worth chancing to make a successful debut at the possible expense of Dance And Glance, who offered some encouragement at Newbury first time out. Moon Monarch is another interesting debutant.

Having made an encouraging debut in the competitive sales bumper at Newbury in March, DANCE AND GLANCE is the pick today.

1	7 1st (7) (13/8 +54%) Fairbanks		1.625 13/8(+54%)																															(7) Fairbanks 13/8, 11/2, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, heavy) 22 days ago. Should remain competitive. Should be sharper after last month's Thirsk return and was progressing fast last summer.
2	12 2nd (12) (18/1 +0%) Soowaih		18 18/1(+0%)																															(12) Soowaih 18/1, Course winner. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at Ayr (10f, good) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt. 1m winner here for R Varian last October; fair form for new yard but this looks too tough.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 +0%) Charging Thunder		10 10/1(+0%)																															(2) Charging Thunder 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, heavy, 28/1) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has dropped to a good mark and should be much closer to form this time. Dropped down the weights but didn't offer enough encouragement on last month's return.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 -29%) Artisan Dancer		9 9/1(-29%)																															(8) Artisan Dancer 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 11/8, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 45 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Reliable through a busy AW campaign this winter; looks high in the weights now though.
5th	9 5th (9) (80/1 -220%) Cockalorum		80 80/1(-220%)																															(9) Cockalorum 80/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Ripon (9.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Others make more appeal. Well beaten on Ripon reappearance and this trip has looked to stretch him in the past.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/2 -40%) Aerospace		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(4) Aerospace 7/2, Unexposed for his age and made it two from two for this yard when landing a 7-runner handicap here last month, edging ahead late on. Longer trip shouldn't be a problem and boasts strong claims of completing the hat-trick. 2-2 for new yard after lengthy absence; bred to relish today's longer trip; obvious claims.
7th	3 7th (3) (33/1 -136%) No Surrender		33 33/1(-136%)																															(3) No Surrender 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 6 in handicap at Redcar (10f, soft, 9/2) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Needs to bounce back. Lacklustre handicap debut ten days ago but perhaps he just hated the soft ground; new trip.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 -100%) Legendary Day		20 20/1(-100%)																															(5) Legendary Day 20/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Ripon (12f, heavy, 11/1) 15 days ago, barely adequate test. Stiffer track should play to his strengths. Conditions to suit and on a winning mark; can leave recent reappearance behind him.
9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 -50%) La Pulga		12 12/1(-50%)																															(6) La Pulga 12/1, 6/1, won 4-runner handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, responding well. Dangerous if allowed an easy lead having gone up only 3 lb. C&D win last month came in a small field; more required off today's 3lb higher mark.
10th	11 10th (11) (5/1 +55%) God Of Thunder		5 5/1(+55%)																															(11) God Of Thunder 5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in March. Creditable sixth of 18 in handicap (12/1) at Newbury (10f, good) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Not ruled out. Two 1m4f AW wins since November; solid turf run latest (1m2f); one of the likelier ones.
11th	10 11th (10) (80/1 -142%) El Picador		80 80/1(-142%)																															(10) El Picador 80/1, First run since leaving Keith Dalgleish when fifth of 7 in handicap (50/1) at Kempton (16f). Off 6 months. Down in trip. Others have achieved more. Rarely sighted since 2022 and he returns from another break with plenty to prove.
12th	1 12th (1) (100/1 -525%) Mr Le Philosophe		100 100/1(-525%)																															(1) Mr Le Philosophe 100/1, 20/1, third of 5 in juvenile hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 49 days ago, going in snatches. Fairly useful on the Flat. More required back on the level. Visor on for the first time. Two 1m4f wins in France last season; struggled over hurdles for this yard; now visored.

Fairbanks was a shade disappointing when only managing sixth on his return at Thirsk, but he is entitled to improve off a 1lb lower mark and with the booking of Oisin Murphy to aid his cause. However, AEROSPACE looks the way to go. The son of Sea The Stars is unbeaten in two outings for Archie Watson and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests over 1m2f here last time. The runner-up did the form no harm by running well at Chester during the week and, with the likelihood of more to come up in trip, the five-year-old is the one to be on. Recent C&D winner La Pulga is another to watch out for.

AEROSPACE found marked improvement to double his tally for this stable here last time and there's more progress in him, so he gets the nod in the hat-trick bid. La Pulga is a big danger if able to dictate and his stablemate Artisan Dancer should be on the premises as usual.

Aerospace should relish this longer trip but he may have to give best to the unexposed and progressive 4yo FAIRBANKS.

Latest win here in November. 11/2, good second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. Has good chance on form. Two course wins last year; promising 2nd at Southwell last time; O Murphy retains the ride.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -50%) Zip		12 12/1(-50%)																															(5) Zip 12/1, Three-time C&D winner. 10/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, heavy) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Enters calculations. Three-time C&D winner; comes here on the back of good turf second off this mark; contender.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 +0%) Farasi Lane		9 9/1(+0%)																															(1) Farasi Lane 9/1, Promising second at Kempton on yard debut in March and went one better under a more positive ride to score there the following month. Only twelfth of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Could bounce back. Two good AW runs for new yard before a weak finish at Newmarket last weekend; e-w shout.
4	10 4th (10) (11/2 +45%) Billy Mill		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(10) Billy Mill 11/2, Three-time C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in March. 11/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 29 days ago. Should give another good account, but perhaps not quite as well treated as some of his opposition here. Conditions to suit and he comes here in good form; unlikely to be far away.
5th	3 5th (3) (16/1 +36%) Mascapone		16 16/1(+36%)																															(3) Mascapone 16/1, Shaped well when fourth of 9 in nursery at Newmarket (7f, good, 33/1) on final outing at 2 yrs. Off 19 months. Makes tapeta debut. Hood on 1st time. Worth betting check after lengthy absence. 6f AW win at two; good 4th at Newmarket when last seen but that was 582 days ago; hood now.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/2 +25%) Longlai		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(8) Longlai 9/2, Proved retains ability after an 11-month absence when second of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 44 days ago, clear of rest. Makes tapeta debut. Not ruled out. Promising reappearance at Chelmsford (form franked); drop to 7f should be fine; big chance.
7th	9 7th (9) (11/1 +0%) Swiss Ace		11 11/1(+0%)																															(9) Swiss Ace 11/1, Three-time C&D winner. Good second of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. Bumped into progressive rival there and has solid place claims once more. Conditions to suit and comes here on the back of two good Southwell runs; up in class.
8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 -40%) Noble Order		7 7/1(-40%)																															(2) Noble Order 7/1, Returned from long absence to make a winning stable debut in 1m handicap at Newcastle in February. Found to have bled when sixteenth of 21 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good) 22 days ago. Best watched after that. Impressed over 1m here on stable debut in February; bled when flopping at Newbury since.
9th	11 9th (11) (22/1 -57%) Northern Spirit		22 22/1(-57%)																															(11) Northern Spirit 22/1, Course winner. 25/1, good fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. Heading back in the right direction recently. Goes well at the track but all wins at 6f; work to do with Eldrickjones on latest run.
10th	6 10th (6) (10/1 -43%) Love De Vega		10 10/1(-43%)																															(6) Love De Vega 10/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Newmarket (7f, good) 9 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two Chelmsford wins this year; fair run in a good Newmarket handicap latest; down in class.

Three-time C&D scorer ZIP lost little in defeat when runner-up in a class 2 event at Haydock recently and compensation could await the veteran on this return to the all-weather. The biggest threat appears to be Eldrickjones, who returned to action with a close-up second at Southwell last month, while fellow in-form rivals Swiss Ace and Longlai aren't easily dismissed, in what looks an open contest.

ELDRICKJONES made a pleasing seasonal return when runner-up at Southwell last month and is fancied to go one better here. Zip has a good course record and arrives after a sound effort last time, so also merits consideration alongside Longlai.

Eldrickjones is solid after a promising return but LONGLAI appeals most after his good second at Chelmsford.

1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +30%) Misty Grey		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(4) Misty Grey 7/2, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Reliable sort with a good record on AW. Series of good runs for new yard, including C&D; more appealing than most.
2	11 2nd (11) (14/1 -17%) Prince Of Zenda		14 14/1(-17%)																															(11) Prince Of Zenda 14/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win here in January. 11/4, 5½ lengths last of 12 to Bosh in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 44 days ago. Latest run best ignored and had been thriving prior to that, so one to note. Flopped at Lingfield on Good Friday but remains unexposed as a sprinter.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/2 +53%) King's Lynn		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(8) King's Lynn 7/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022.

Type to bounce back quickly. C&D winner; had excuse last time and he's a contender on this year's best; has been gelded.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 -136%) First Folio		33 33/1(-136%)																															(10) First Folio 33/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving James Ferguson. Worth monitoring in the betting. Powers on the wane last year; starts off for new yard off a reduced mark; others safer.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 -178%) Tiger Crusade		25 25/1(-178%)																															(6) Tiger Crusade 25/1, Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 14/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Back to a potentially lenient mark and can't be dismissed. On a fair mark but might need a pace collapse to win, even over this stiff 6f.
7th	1 7th (1) (28/1 -100%) Juan Les Pins		28 28/1(-100%)																															(1) Juan Les Pins 28/1, 25/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 44 days ago. Not firing at present and others make more appeal. Has earned his lofty mark; not at his best over C&D last time; needs a full revival to win.
8th	7 8th (7) (8/1 +6%) Bosh		8 8/1(+6%)																															(7) Bosh 8/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Good third of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Newbury (6f, good to soft) 23 days ago, rallying. Going through a good spell at present and no reason why he won't be on the premises again. In fine form since December and latest close 3rd at Newbury looks strong form; key player.
9th	12 9th (12) (18/1 +0%) Just A Spark		18 18/1(+0%)																															(12) Just A Spark 18/1, Seven wins from 19 Flat runs. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in February. 40/1, thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Has work to do. Fine AW record, including a 2nd here (7f) on Good Friday; high in the weights now though.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/1 -47%) Tacarib Bay		11 11/1(-47%)																															(3) Tacarib Bay 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 9/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, heavy) 15 days ago, slowly away. Not discounted back down in grade. Listed C&D win in November; also ran well here in January; capable if this is a good day.
11th	5 11th (5) (20/1 -100%) Strike Red		20 20/1(-100%)																															(5) Strike Red 20/1, C&D winner. 7/1, career best when winning 20-runner handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft), driven out. Off 9 months. Deserves respect if he can return in the same form. Conditions to suit & last seen beating big field in Ireland last July; absence the worry.
12th	13 12th (13) (11/1 -10%) Dare To Hope		11 11/1(-10%)																															(13) Dare To Hope 11/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (6/1) at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 17 days ago.

13th	2 13th (2) (18/1 +0%) Rocket Rodney		18 18/1(+0%)																															(2) Rocket Rodney 18/1, Latest win at Sakhir in December. Running well in handicap at Sakhir (6f, good to firm) ( past the post but subsequently disqualified). Off 100 days. Plenty to find on form. Showed 6f was fine in Bahrain this winter; looks on a tough mark back in Britain though.
14th	14 14th (14) (28/1 -133%) It Just Takes Time		28 28/1(-133%)																															(14) It Just Takes Time 28/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 17/2) 15 days ago. Well treated on last year's best efforts and worth a chance to go one better than that encouraging reappearance. Down in the weights and made a good start to the year at Doncaster; this may be too tough.

Although KING'S LYNN was unable to capitalise on a declining mark at Goodwood recently, that second-placed effort marked a return to form. Andrew Balding's charge makes plenty of appeal racing off the same rating and a fifth career success could be on the horizon. Last month's Newbury third Bosh won't mind this switch to Tapeta and the five-year-old should give another good account of himself. Misty Grey and Dare To Hope are also worth a closer look.

IT JUST TAKES TIME won twice off higher marks last year and made a most encouraging return when a smooth-travelling second at Doncaster 15 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote to go one better in a wide-open race. The well-treated King's Lynn is a player having returned to form last time and Bosh can't be ignored in his current mood.

Batal Dubai is solid but DARE TO HOPE (nap) looks one to follow and a 4lb rise for his Beverley win underestimates him.

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.
