1st (1) (16/1 -14%)Sir Garfield |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Sir Garfield 16/1, Going probably on fast side beaten 5l in a handicap over 6f at Doncaster last time, but seems out of form; up in trip; going a real concern Two 7f wins last year (including C&D) and the step back up in trip is a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (6/1 +25%)Variety Island |
6/1(+25%) | (13) Variety Island 6/1, Back to form off a break when 3/4l off 47 over 6f at Redcar last time; up in trip (slight query) and a pound, but a contender Poor strike-rate but last win came over C&D and he was a close second on his reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (28/1 -56%)Front Gunner |
28/1(-56%) | (4) Front Gunner 28/1, Raced freely beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; unproven on fast ground; should show some improvement; fair mark, but off a break Won at Newcastle last October but returns from break and best results have come on AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (12/1 -71%)Kalganov |
12/1(-71%) | (9) Kalganov 12/1, Back to form beaten 1/2l off 56 at Ayr last time; looks nicely weighted based and every reason to believe will contend Needs to prove recent revival was no one-off but might not be far away if again on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (17/2 +39%)Without Delay |
17/2(+39%) | (8) Without Delay 17/2, Couple of good efforts since winter break running to form beaten 3l off 58 at Thirsk last time; dropped a pound for this, which makes places a realistic target Three wins last year, the last two off this mark (including over C&D); not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (6/1 -20%)King Sharja |
6/1(-20%) | (3) King Sharja 6/1, In good form and landed a handicap by a head off 58 at Southwell last time; up 3lb here, but should be competitive Two-time turf winner who scored at Southwell last time and has gone back up only 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (11/2 +8%)Coconut Bay |
11/2(+8%) | (12) Coconut Bay 11/2, Tried to make all when well backed beaten 1/2l off 50 at Musselburgh last time; repeat of that and should go close again off the same mark C&D classified winner who was a close second off this mark in recent Musselburgh handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (11/1 -10%)Berkshire Phantom |
11/1(-10%) | (5) Berkshire Phantom 11/1, Below par beaten 4l off 62 over 8f at Doncaster last time and similar previous start on turf; possibly better form on AW; tongue-tie first time; down in trip On a reduced mark and has run some fair races this year, but he has a regressive profile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (28/1 -12%)Obee Jo |
28/1(-12%) | (11) Obee Jo 28/1, Well beaten in a handicap over 8f at Newmarket latest start back in November and had lost form prior to that; top course trainer; may not relish fast ground and off a break Lacks a recent run but stable form is a plus and he's a four-time course winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (16/1 -14%)Sunny Orange |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Sunny Orange 16/1, Made too much use of beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap over 8f at Thirsk last time out back in August and form had tailed off before that; top course trainer; down in trip; may need run Modest strike-rate but has run well over C&D and reappears with stable in good form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (12/1 +40%)Rory |
12/1(+40%) | (10) Rory 12/1, Slowly away beaten 3l off 56 over 6f at Ayr last time and head high when asked to quicken previous start; up in trip; bit to prove Fair 3rd over 6f at Ayr latest; last win came at 7f; could be thereabouts back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (9/2 +59%)Dawn Of Liberation |
9/2(+59%) | (2) Dawn Of Liberation 9/2, Ran to form beaten 3 1/4l off 65 over 8f at Southwell last time; blinkers first time; down in trip; very consistent, but mark stiff Hasn't run badly the last twice but needs something extra to exploit this reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (8/1 -60%)Miss Willows |
8/1(-60%) | (6) Miss Willows 8/1, Came clear in front when landing a handicap by 5l off 49 here last time; may have idled a bit then and could be better than that; major player, but has never run well on fast ground Easily made all over C&D on return; inconsistent but strong claims with repeat of the form. |

Tim Easterby has a couple in here, including 2023 winner Obee Jo, who races off 2lb lower and cannot be discounted with four victories at the track. MISS WILLOWS strolled home unchallenged after making all over C&D last month, though, and similar tactics could see her follow up, despite a 10lb rise. Coconut Bay is another to consider from lower in the weights.

Miss Willows bolted up over C&D on her reappearance but is inconsistent. Preference is for recent AW winner KING SHARJA.

1st (5) (9/2 -13%)Always Busy |
9/2(-13%) | (5) Always Busy 9/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest where too keen; off a short-break; looks vulnerable off current rating Won at Warwick on January but pulled up both starts since; could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/5 +56%)High Game Royal |
6/5(+56%) | (1) High Game Royal 6/5, Below par fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Haydock latest; met trouble when runner up previously; cheekpieces first time; unexposed over 3m over fences; threat if stamina holds up 1-13 over hurdles; creditable efforts chasing 2 seasons ago; headgear tried; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/8 +31%)How And Ever |
11/8(+31%) | (4) How And Ever 11/8, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by 2l off 99 here last time impressing with jumping; off a short-break; still well treated on hurdle form; could follow up Inconsistent; C&D winner last time on second run after wind op; could go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (25/1 -39%)Swapped |
25/1(-39%) | (3) Swapped 25/1, Below par down the field in a handicap chase at Doncaster most recent; generally out of form; goes well here; has dropped a long way in weights; needs to bounce back to summer form back from break Three chase wins; mainly below par since C&D 2nd in 2023; yard debut; others stronger. |

Having regained the winning thread over C&D in February, another bold bid is forecast from HOW AND EVER. Oliver Signy's gelding got the better of a subsequent winner, and a 4lb higher mark looks more than workable. High Game Royal has been contesting stronger races over hurdles in recent months and he isn't taken lightly now reverting to chasing. The eight-year-old is feared most, ahead of Always Busy.

Although he was pulled up on his last two outings, this could be a good opportunity for ALWAYS BUSY.

1st (2) (3/1 +14%)Far Ahead |
3/1(+14%) | (2) Far Ahead 3/1, Had benefited for debut experience 8 1/4l third in a maiden at Beverley second start as a 2yo; returning from long layoff here, but can improve again and minor chance Fair efforts on both 2yo starts; gelded since; open to improvement for good northern yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/4 +0%)Surprised |
5/4(+0%) | (1) Surprised 5/4, Won going away pushed out in a novice at Beverley second start; that sets a standard here and probably plenty to come Won at Beverley last September on second start and holds leading claims on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (16/1 -167%)Invincible Ruby |
16/1(-167%) | (10) Invincible Ruby 16/1, Green and only hands and heels on promising 4l fourth in a novice here first-time out; open to marked improvement and can be in the mix Perhaps flattered, but recent debut run over C&D was pretty promising; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (13/8 +46%)Georgecandoit |
13/8(+46%) | (3) Georgecandoit 13/8, Weak in the market, travelled well when 2l third in a novice at Newcastle most recent run; numerous good efforts and that makes a contender 0-7 but has often run well, including on reappearance, and could be bang there. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (125/1 -89%)Wicklow Way |
125/1(-89%) | (6) Wicklow Way 125/1, Missed break and well beaten in a novice over 8f at Wetherby on poor debut; back in trip, but all to do 66-1 when well beaten on debut at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (80/1 -60%)Dorothy May |
80/1(-60%) | (8) Dorothy May 80/1, Green and well beaten in a maiden at Thirsk only start; top course trainer; will do better, but difficult to fancy Well beaten at 50-1 on her debut at Thirsk (7f, good) only nine days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (66/1 +0%)Fasnelli |
66/1(+0%) | (9) Fasnelli 66/1, Well beaten in a novice at Beverley on poor debut and only start; should do better, but one simply to watch at present Always behind when 100-1 on debut at Beverley (7.4f, good) last September and absent since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (18/1 +28%)Sweet Kiss |
18/1(+28%) | (7) Sweet Kiss 18/1, Couple of similar efforts latest fourth beaten 12l in a maiden at Thirsk; top course trainer; plenty more needed Not devoid of ability this spring on first two starts but she may appreciate a longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (200/1 -203%)Iwantmytimewithyou |
200/1(-203%) | (5) Iwantmytimewithyou 200/1, Well beaten in a maiden at Wolverhampton latest and poor effort on debut; yard bring them on slowly, but hard to recommend Well beaten at sizeable odds on first two starts and he's bred to want further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (400/1 -300%)Passchendaele |
400/1(-300%) | (4) Passchendaele 400/1, Well beaten both starts and down the field in a novice over 6f at Doncaster most recent of those finishing last of 13; all to prove Made debut last month; down the field at big odds on both starts. |

SURPRISED has to give weight to all of her rivals as the only previous winner in the field, but she scored at Beverley with something in hand and the daughter of Ulysses is entitled to do even better as a three-year-old. Invincible Ruby didn't fare too badly on debut here and, with improvement, she can go well, although Georgecandoit may be the bigger danger after a solid Newcastle third on his return when he pulled too hard before weakening late on.

The filly SURPRISED is the sole previous winner and she can defy a penalty, having scored in good style at Beverley last September.

1st (2) (9/2 +0%)No More No |
9/2(+0%) | (2) No More No 9/2, Below par well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f at Wincanton latest; in good form prior; likes the track; open to marked improvement now chasing Former pointer; two hurdle wins, the second over C&D; now going chasing after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 +28%)Whynotnowroy |
13/2(+28%) | (6) Whynotnowroy 13/2, Below par well beaten in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest; generally out of form since promising debut; good ground suits; risky Winning hurdler; good third on chase debut; disappointing twice since; bit to prove now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (15/8 +58%)Small Town Hero |
15/8(+58%) | (4) Small Town Hero 15/8, Did not get a clear run fourth beaten 15l in a handicap chase over 2m4f here latest where left with too much to do; tongue-tie first time; likely improver up in trip Irish point winner; modest hurdler; better run on chase debut latest but stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (4/1 -14%)Ballyvaughan Bay |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Ballyvaughan Bay 4/1, Ran to form second beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap hurdle here latest; steadily progressive; likes the track; could get easy lead; tough to peg back if taking to chasing Fell both starts pointing; winner C&D over hurdles (in fair form); chance on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (9/1 -100%)The Whistle Blower |
9/1(-100%) | (5) The Whistle Blower 9/1, Probably needed race fourth beaten 22l in a handicap chase at Huntingdon latest where ran well to a point; visor first time; not fully exposed; may contend 5-17 in points; yet to win over fences, but fair 4th after a break last time; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/1 -64%)Baby Chou |
9/1(-64%) | (3) Baby Chou 9/1, Travelled well fourth beaten 32l in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Doncaster latest but found little for pressure; worth marking up previous efforts; off a short-break; bit to find Irish point winner on heavy; some fair form but best runs on good to soft/soft.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (14/1 -27%)Deadly Missile |
14/1(-27%) | (8) Deadly Missile 14/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off 72 over 2m7f at Leicester last time; longer trip a plus; off a long absence; could figure if fit but risky Winning pointer; good placed efforts over fences; chance if tuned up after 467-day break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (50/1 -25%)Stonegate |
50/1(-25%) | (7) Stonegate 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Carlisle latest where let down by jumping; usually held up; not proven trip; bit to find Modest hurdler; has been pulled up on both starts over fences; others look stronger. |

BALLYVAUGHAN BAY was unfortunate to bump into a rejuvenated rival on the hurdles track here 27 days ago and a similar performance on his chase bow may suffice. The eight-year-old has all the attributes to make it in this discipline and he's preferred to Baby Chou. Even though Sam England's mare remains a maiden under Rules, she looks capable of going close judged on the pick of her form. No More No is the pick of the remainder.

Winning pointer THE WHISTLE BLOWER, who shaped quite well on his return from a break last time, is taken to beat Ballyvaughan Bay.

1st (7) (9/2 -13%)Zephlyn |
9/2(-13%) | (7) Zephlyn 9/2, Very consistent and well backed when scored by 3/4l off 57 at Newcastle penultimate start, backing that up latest; top course jockey; obvious threat Won at Newcastle (2m, AW) in March and had an excuse behind two of these at Ayr last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (13/8 +41%)Marbuzet |
13/8(+41%) | (1) Marbuzet 13/8, Landed a handicap by a head off 66 over 1m7f at Ayr last time; top course trainer; in good form and should go well again of just a pound higher in the weights Last year's runner-up who won at Ayr 11 days ago; very solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 +8%)Myboymax |
11/1(+8%) | (8) Myboymax 11/1, Down the field in a novice hurdle at Wetherby latest; lost form a bit on the Flat at the end of 2024 campaign; off a break and may need the race Likes it here and won over C&D (good to firm) last August; not ruled out on reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (17/2 -31%)Gastronomy |
17/2(-31%) | (2) Gastronomy 17/2, Probably needed race 5l third in a handicap over 1m6f at Redcar on reappearance; below par final start of 2024 as well, but looks on a good mark if recapturing previous solid form Won off this mark at Redcar last July; could show benefit of recent reappearance outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/4 +31%)Cascade Hall |
11/4(+31%) | (3) Cascade Hall 11/4, Suited by step-up in trip when beaten a head off 65 over 1m7f at Ayr last time; unproven on fast ground, but lightly raced and arguably still unexposed Head second of four to Marbuzet at Ayr on second handicap start; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (28/1 -100%)Arctic Fox |
28/1(-100%) | (5) Arctic Fox 28/1, Travelled well for a long way when down the field in a handicap hurdle latest; had been a bit out of form on the Flat, but very well handicapped at best Fair run here last month on latest Flat start but tailed off over h'dles since; regressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (125/1 -346%)Unique Spirit |
125/1(-346%) | (4) Unique Spirit 125/1, Below par beaten 9l in a handicap at Southwell last time and did seem to have lost form having run badly previous start; returning from a break; unproven on fast ground Just 1lb above last winning mark but down the field on last two outings in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (11/1 -38%)Palazzo Persico |
11/1(-38%) | (6) Palazzo Persico 11/1, Slowly away down the field in a handicap over 10f at Lingfield most recent run; had been in good form prior to that; back up in trip; chance Unraced beyond 1m4f but kept on well for 11.6f at Bath two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -300%)Red Force One |
40/1(-300%) | (9) Red Force One 40/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 11f at Southwell on reappearance, but in poor form at the end of 2024; bit to prove now Hat-trick last June but struggled on final two runs last year and same story on comeback. |

Myboymax has won here twice, once over this distance, and he can go well, with his mark slipping down 1lb since a last-of-nine at Newcastle, where a visor clearly failed to bring any improvement. CASCADE HALL is 1lb better off with Marbuzet after going under by a head at Ayr over slightly shorter and he may gain his revenge to finally get off the mark on his eighth start, with the likelihood he has a little bit more to offer.

Last year's second MARBUZET won at Ayr recently and can follow up. Runner-up Cascade Hall could again pose the main threat.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (14/1 +30%)Night Burlesque |
14/1(+30%) | (8) Night Burlesque 14/1, Wide trip comfortably held in a 4yo bumper at Uttoxeter last time; has experience edge; more needed to get off the mark Fair efforts when sixth at Catterick and Uttoxeter; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (80/1 -264%)Potters Marmite |
80/1(-264%) | (5) Potters Marmite 80/1, Fourth beaten 29l in a bumper over 1m6f at Fontwell latest; up in trip; off a short-break; has experience edge but bit to find In the frame in two bumpers but was beaten 28l and 29l so improvement needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (80/1 -400%)Pearl Smoke |
80/1(-400%) | (10) Pearl Smoke 80/1, Well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Hereford only start; off a short-break; stable first string on jockey bookings; improvement required 10-1 when tailed-off last of seven at Hereford on debut (2m, soft); likely improver. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (33/1 -50%)Miss Barfad |
33/1(-50%) | (4) Miss Barfad 33/1, Well beaten in a maiden bumper at Hereford only start though did see it out well; not out of it if building on that Home-bred mare; 20l six of eight on Hereford debut last month (2m, good); should improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (25/1 -108%)Jazzoon |
25/1(-108%) | (3) Jazzoon 25/1, Pether's Moon mare; tongue-tie first time; yard's horses tend to improve for initial experience Third foal; dam unraced half-sister to a bumper/hurdle winner; wears a tongue-tie on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (33/1 -136%)Emerald Jewel |
33/1(-136%) | (7) Emerald Jewel 33/1, Cockney Rebel filly; half-sister to Libor Lad, poor at 19f; hood first time; from flat yard; market should reveal more Newcomer by Cockney Rebel; half-brother to a 2m4f hurdle winner; wears a hood on debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (125/1 -279%)Pon De Replay |
125/1(-279%) | (11) Pon De Replay 125/1, Well beaten in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee only start; big step forward needed to figure Tailed-off seventh of eight on debut at Bangor last month (2m, good; 10-1); more needed.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (100/1 -525%)Ivegotattitude |
100/1(-525%) | (2) Ivegotattitude 100/1, Fourth beaten 14l in a maiden bumper at Taunton latest; should come on for that outing; needs more Improved on ordinary debut run when 14l fourth of seven at Taunton last month; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (9/2 +0%)Saturday Sarah |
9/2(+0%) | (12) Saturday Sarah 9/2, Jack Hobbs filly; from flat yard; top jockey booked; very interesting if market speaks positively Home-bred by Jack Hobbs; first foal of a 2m4f hurdle winner; quite an interesting newcomer. |

Night Burlesque arguably sets the standard on her latest sixth at Uttoxeter and she should put her experience to good use. However, she is vulnerable to a debutant in this sphere, with QUEENSWORTHY topping the bill. The five-year-old displayed ability when finishing second between the flags last year and makes plenty of appeal as a half-sister to debut bumper scorer/smart novice hurdler Queensbury Boy. Garde My Guinness and Jazzoon also require a market check.

Those that have had a run haven't shown a great deal so this could well go to a newcomer and GARDE MY GUINNESS looks a likely sort.

1st (2) (4/1 +0%)Tees Aggregates |
4/1(+0%) | (2) Tees Aggregates 4/1, Weak in the market and probably made too much use of when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; had run much better over C&D previous start and based in that should figure 5f win as a 2yo; near miss over C&D on his return but took a backward step here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/1 -9%)Indy's Angel |
6/1(-9%) | (5) Indy's Angel 6/1, Probably needed race beaten 3 1/4l off 61 here last time, but also ran poorly final start of 2024; looks on a very fair mark based on nursery form and far from out off it Wide-margin AW win (6f) as a 2yo; outpaced over C&D on return but plugged on late for 4th. |

13/8(-8%) | (1) Brazilian Belle 13/8, Ultra-consistent and bang to form beaten 2l off 71 at Doncaster last time; down a pound and should go close C&D win 12 months ago; fair 4th in a better race on her reappearance; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/4 +31%)Lunar Force |
11/4(+31%) | (3) Lunar Force 11/4, Got no run at all when beaten 3 1/4l off 66 at Beverley last time and probably would have run to form without traffic issues; top course trainer; can contend off fair mark 0-7 but she would have finished closer on her reappearance granted a clear run; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/2 +0%)Jeany May |
11/2(+0%) | (4) Jeany May 11/2, Raced freely beaten 3 1/4l off 66 at Beverley last time, in better form prior when under a length 4th off 66 here on penultimate start; can contend in very tight race Two fair runs this year but she has finished behind reopposing rivals on each occasion. |

BRAZILIAN BELLE displayed plenty of promise when a close fourth on her seasonal debut at Doncaster last month and the unexposed filly could be hard to stop with the benefit of that outing behind her. Indy's Angel filled the same position on her return over C&D and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Tees Aggregates.

Having shaped nicely on last week's return to action LUNAR FORCE is fancied to get off the mark. Brazilian Belle is feared most.

5/1(+0%) | (5) Grand Scheme 5/1, Appeared not to stay comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Sedgefield last time; good mark on flat and maiden hurdle form; not dismissed Three Flat wins but minor form since the autumn and dropped out on handicap hurdle debut. |

1/1(+38%) | (4) Early Morning Dew 1/1, Slowly away comfortably held in a handicap over 12f at Brighton last time; usually held up; up in trip; thrown in on flat form; unexposed in this sphere; ought to go close Three Flat wins at 1m2f; first hurdle run since 2021 when close up in 2 handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (80/1 -142%)You And Whose Army |
80/1(-142%) | (6) You And Whose Army 80/1, Appeared not to stay comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Fakenham last time; down in trip; inconsistent in short career; others preferred Modest on Flat and over hurdles, no better for the switch to a handicap at Fakenham. |

BRINDLEY was fourth on his handicap debut, albeit well held, at Perth last month and a repeat of that performance may well be good enough in this very moderate contest. Pottersjetamay was second over 2m4f at this venue back in December and although his subsequent form has not matched that level, he could bounce back. Kingston Bresil is the pick of the remainder.

Early Morning Dew is respected back hurdling but perhaps BRINDLEY can get the job done on his second handicap start.

15th (15) (150/1 -88%)Hyrcanian |

WITHOUT FLAW was only denied by a head when second on her return at Redcar recently and Tina Jackson's filly is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite a 2lb rise. Latin Five failed to fire behind the selection, but is a player based on his previous third over C&D. Others to note are Jamie's Choice, Woohoo and Azucena.

Having been beaten just a head on her recent reappearance at Redcar, WITHOUT FLAW is taken to go one better. Stroxx is feared.

HARMANI was unlucky to come up against the smart Charles Darwin on debut at Navan last month with Nakamura, who had the benefit of a previous run, a length and a half behind in third. The selection should appreciate this longer trip as his dam won over 1m4f. The market is likely to provide some valuable clues as to the relative merits of the newcomers. Salonglaenzende is by Gleneagles out of a Lawman mare that won a Listed race in Germany as a juvenile while riding arrangements suggest Green Soul, a Bated Breath half-brother to three winners, is preferred of Joseph O'Brien's pair.

The Lyons-trained HARMANI has the benefit of experience and he probably chased home a very smart colt at Navan.

WIND YOUR NECK IN took a big step forward when runner-up over C&D on his second hurdles start. With the prospect of more to come, the six-year-old is the one to beat here. R S Ambush also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat. The rest all have plenty to prove, but Hijo De La Luna completes the shortlist.

This can go to WIND YOUR NECK IN who ran quite promisingly here in March and should have some improvement to come.

11th (12) (50/1 -79%)Tiberio Force |

Spring Chorus scored easily at Beverley on her first outing for Michael Herrington's yard. She will likely feature again, despite a 5lb penalty, but slight preference is for PENELOPE'S SISTER. Jim Goldie's mare returned to the fray with a solid third over 1m2f at Ayr and this extra distance will see her in an even better light having scored over 1m3f last summer. Sassy Glory may prove best of the rest.

This is all about SPRING CHORUS (nap), who bolted up on her stable debut at Beverley and should be tough to beat under a 5lb penalty.

6/1(+40%) | (14) Zuzzudio 6/1, Did not get a clear run down the field in a nursery over 7f at Dundalk most recent; up in trip; returning from a break; fair mark on best nursery form; may contend Struggled on the AW last twice but her Naas run the time before was encouraging. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/1 +44%)River Derwent |
9/1(+44%) | (3) River Derwent 9/1, Probably needed race beaten 9l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; generally out of form since C&D win off 2lb higher last spring; plenty more needed Slow starter but won over C&D last May off 2lb higher so he's capable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (50/1 -257%)Shahada Ace |
50/1(-257%) | (12) Shahada Ace 50/1, Down the field in an auction race at Gowran Park most recent; that improved form; threat off potentially lenient opening mark Likely open to some improvement now handicapping off a modest mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (16/1 +43%)Feature This |
16/1(+43%) | (10) Feature This 16/1, Below par down the field in a handicap at Cork most recent; better form on AW; appears regressive All five wins have come over 1m and she arrives here with five duck eggs next to her name. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (10/1 +17%)Akeela |
10/1(+17%) | (9) Akeela 10/1, Beaten 6l in a handicap over 7f at Gowran Park last time where went too fast; generally out of form; up in trip; bit to find Sole win came at 6f but was twice bang there over 7f in the autumn; modest of late. |

12th (13) (14/1 +44%)Sovereign Banter |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (14/1 -56%)Top Of The Pops |
14/1(-56%) | (8) Top Of The Pops 14/1, Benefited from positive ride scored by 2l off 46 at Gowran Park penultimate start; sixth beaten 8l off 53 last time where too keen; down in trip; bit to find on these terms Prominent when winning at Gowran (1m) and 1m2f looked a step too far at Sligo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (3/1 0%)Macadam's Rock |
3/1(0%) | (2) Macadam's Rock 3/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by a length off 60 over 7f at Dundalk last time; up in trip; well treated on AW form; poorly placed last couple of turf runs; can make amends All four wins have been at Dundalk and turf form isn't quite as persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (5) (7/1 +36%)Superior Force |
7/1(+36%) | (5) Superior Force 7/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark beaten 9l in a handicap over 7f at The Curragh last time; generally out of form; up in trip; losing run stretches over 3 years; best watched Has a poor strike-rate of 2-34 and may have a preference for slower ground. |

MACADAM'S ROCK gained his fourth career win, all over 7f at Dundalk, when successful last month on the Polytrack. The selection has been lightly campaigned on turf but can race off the same mark here and Ben Coen again takes the mount. Top Of The Pops won over a mile at Gowran on his penultimate start and probably found an extended 1m2f too far at Sligo recently, while My Kurkum showed much improved form on the same Sligo card when finishing well to beat all bar Gegenpressing over 6f. First reserve Jurality would be interesting is getting a run with Colin Keane booked.

Sligo runner-up MY KURKUM isn't that consistent but the same is true of plenty in here and last week's run was over a sharp enough 6f.

The horses with official ratings don't set an insurmountable target, so it could be best to side with AFFINITY ROCK. This lightly-raced mare acquitted herself well in second over a similar trip at Punchestown in February. It is worth noting that she won her point-to-point on better ground. Time In A Bottle has been placed in three bumpers and is a threat on this step up in trip on her second start over hurdles. Josh Williamson's 7lb claim is a bonus. This is a new distance for Getaways Charm who represents a powerful stable and is likely to be in the hunt for a cheque.

TIME IN A BOTTLE (nap) shaped nicely on her return from a break at Cork and she should relish this step up in trip

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (4/1 +43%)Jumping Jupiter |
4/1(+43%) | (5) Jumping Jupiter 4/1, Below par fourth beaten 7l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Carlisle latest where did too much too soon; good ground suits; outside chance Back from break with two respectable runs this spring; probably won't be far away. |

Matchless landed a selling hurdle over 2m at Hexham recently. However, he faces a tougher assignment upped in distance on his return to handicapping and LUNE DE LA MER makes more appeal. The eight-year-old was no match for the winner when runner-up at Bangor, but he finished well clear of the rest and will be hard to keep out of the finish. Strictly Tango has more scope than most and could also land a blow.

We haven't seen STRICTLY TANGO (nap) since his below-par run in December but the form of earlier Carlisle second reads well.

9th (3) (16/1 -78%)Patontheback |

10th (7) (22/1 -22%)Crocodile Power |
22/1(-22%) | (7) Crocodile Power 22/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 5f here last time and may have needed race previous start; back up in trip; unproven on fast ground; feels very risky Three C&D wins in 2024 and now weighted to win another now back at 6f. |

ONE MORE DREAM has been in fine form on the turf of late. A winner at Pontefract last month, he scored a shade cosily at Doncaster most recently and remains favourably treated compared to his best form on the all-weather. Dream Deal made an encouraging debut for Tim Easterby's yard when runner-up over C&D and he could launch a serious challenge. Patontheback might prove the pick of the remainder.

Several with strong C&D records but DREAM DEAL shaped well here on his yard debut and he can find some more on his second run back.

BROWNED OFF was having just his fifth start when beating all bar Are You In Or Out over 7f at Leopardstown last time with Bucky Larson about two lengths behind in fourth. The New Approach filly has scope for further improvement and gets the vote in what appears the stronger of the two divisions. Bucky Larson has since filled the runner-up spot behind Hemight over a mile at Gowran with Cherry Pink in third. Clever And Classy made most of the running when second to Cala Bonita also over a mile at Gowran recently, while Si Senor was probably unsuited by heavy ground at Gowran last time.

The filly CLEVER AND CLASSY is one of a few possible front-runners but last week's second at Gowran was over further.

NOTRE MAISON is the only C&D winner in this field and, after a neck second at Brighton on her first start since October, she may be able to take this step up in class in her stride. Sean Levey is back on board Miggy Magic, who has run well in defeat on his last five starts, and a measured front-running performance could see him go close. Some Nightmare has won off higher marks and might surprise a few from bottom weight.

Judged on breeding, ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS could be set for a productive 4yo campaign in handicaps. Miggy Magic is second pick.

|PU| (13) (13/2 -117%)On Cloud Wine |
13/2(-117%) | (13) On Cloud Wine 13/2, Well beaten in a bumper over 2m at Kilbeggan only start; returning from long layoff; up in trip; more to come now hurdling for top connections; watch betting Sea The Stars gelding, poor on debut in August, Townend up, surely capable of better. |

A chance is taken on CABARET PRINCE. This former point-to-point winner wasn't beaten far into seventh on his racecourse debut in a big field over the minimum trip at Leopardstown in March. This extended 2m4f should be well within his compass. Willie Mullins unleashes Joli Travail who won a French bumper in November 2022 and a market check is essential. His stablemate, On Cloud Wine, weakened out of contention when favourite for a Kilbeggan bumper last August. He's a half-brother to a Listed winner on the Flat and there ought to be much more to come. Rockonliam has been a beaten favourite on both starts, but could be a factor over this new trip, while Harpers Frontier is a newcomer that could get involved.

Preference is for ROCKONLIAM who could improve for going left handed and he is bred to appreciate this step up in trip.

|PU| (3) (6/4 +0%)Coconut Twist |

COCONUT TWIST landed a double on fast going before finishing an admirable second in testing conditions at Newton Abbot. Daisy Hitchins' inmate looks worth sticking with in his current form, back on his favoured surface. He looks to have most to fear from Jaytee, who returns from a lengthy absence having returned an emphatic winner at Doncaster in January last year. Hourvari is preferred to Storm Nelson of the remaining pair.

In a tricky race slight preference is for HOURVARI, whose stable is in such good form and who may improve for the step up to 3m.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (18/1 +0%)Joe Masseria |
18/1(+0%) | (10) Joe Masseria 18/1, Probably needed race beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap over 10f at Cork last time; generally inconsistent; down in trip; top jockey back on board; probably wants easier ground All three wins for Noel Meade were on slow ground; only midfield after a break at Cork. |

DESERT HAVEN has scored twice over 7f and ran a cracker when returning to the Flat at Leopardstown last month beating all bar Enchanted Garden. The booking of Colin Keane adds to confidence, and he may have most to fear from Shoot To Kill who has gained most of his ten career victories on the all-weather including twice for current connections at the end of last year in Dundalk. Declaree hails form a yard in good form and having won over 7f at Dundalk last November, was having his first run since when runner-up to the progressive Pink Oxalis at Gowran last month. Flying Bay, Goldrush Kid and Neo Smart, who is also entered at Leopardstown on Sunday, are others to consider.

Desert Haven and Pier Pressure are feared but back on drier ground preference is for the well-handicapped BUCANEER'S SPIRIT.

400/1(-167%) | (10) Woburn 400/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; all to prove No form claims. |

Oisin Murphy rode Cuban Melody to victory in this last season and he has a chance again on GORDON NORSE, a wide-margin Wolverhampton winner on his return when sent clear a furlong out. If he takes to the turf, he may follow up, but if he fluffs his lines then Topwarrior could take advantage. Ralph Beckett's colt ran on well to score at Kempton and should have improvement to come. Rajaking won on his debut at Chelmsford last year and is one to consider for the places.

Royal Ascot entry TOPWARRIOR is taken to follow up his Kempton win. Gordon Norse, who scored easily last time, is second pick.

SOBER is a fascinating contender on his Irish debut for Willie Mullins. He won twice at Group 2 level on the Flat in his native France for Andre Fabre and actually holds an entry in the Group 1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot in June. Gordon Elliott fires two darts at this contest through St Cuthbert's Cave and Arch Empire who hold similar ratings. The former is proven over this trip while the latter tries it for the first time. Carrigg Island sprang a 66/1 surprise on hurdle debut at Limerick in April and won't be anywhere near that price for the time being.

Willie Mullins' classy French recruit SOBER receives 6lb from his main rivals and is sure to be well-primed for his hurdling debut.

VERY MINDFUL failed to help her cause when rearing at the start here last time. She recovered to finish runner-up, albeit a long way behind the winner, but the daughter of Havana Gold may improve with cheekpieces applied for the first time and gets another chance. Gillali Lass is a likely improver having shown ability when fourth at Beverley on her introduction. Flowerhead and Flying Macs are newcomers to note.

It wouldn't be any surprise were one of the newcomers up to winning but otherwise GILLALI LASS can build on last Monday's debut fourth.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (13/2 +13%)Vega's Muse |
13/2(+13%) | (8) Vega's Muse 13/2, Beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; better ground may suit; fair mark on best 2yo form; danger Ran in some good maidens and had to deal with heavy ground when 5s for h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (28/1 -56%)Touted Plan |
28/1(-56%) | (5) Touted Plan 28/1, Down the field in a maiden at Gowran Park most recent where needed run; consistent in maidens; bit to find off stiff opening mark Debut effort was her best yet; enters handicaps with an unexposed profile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (10/1 +17%)The Dark Baron |
10/1(+17%) | (12) The Dark Baron 10/1, Improved effort comfortably held in a maiden over 6f at Naas last time where showed willing attitude; top course jockey; up in trip; may just need this on handicap debut Handicaps were always going to be more like it and Keane is booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (9/1 +10%)Blondina |
9/1(+10%) | (14) Blondina 9/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Navan last time where went too fast; usually consistent; down in trip; bit to find Led two out before weakening on handicap debut at Navan, finishing ninth of 19 (1m2f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (66/1 -164%)Sea View Lady |
66/1(-164%) | (15) Sea View Lady 66/1, Beaten 9l in an auction race at Gowran Park last time; that improved form; needs to prove effectiveness on quicker ground on handicap debut Wouldn't be obviously well treated for this handicap debut on what she's shown in maidens. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (40/1 -21%)Bluebelardo |
40/1(-21%) | (2) Bluebelardo 40/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 6f at Naas most recent; up in trip; yet to prove up to this mark; bit to find Close up in a maiden but well held on handicap debut when a 40-1 chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (8/1 -78%)Amber Blossom |
8/1(-78%) | (1) Amber Blossom 8/1, Not best trip beaten a length off 68 at Dundalk last time; should come on for the run; better form on AW; off a short-break; threat if translating winter form to turf Recent improvement has come on the AW but she's probably progressing anyway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (11) (11/1 -38%)Pompano Beach |
11/1(-38%) | (11) Pompano Beach 11/1, Ran to form beaten 5l in a nursery at Dundalk last time; that looks level; top course trainer; not proven trip; bit to find back from break Stuck to her guns to be beaten 5l over 1m at Dundalk in November; there's a race in her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (15/2 +17%)Navajo Point |
15/2(+17%) | (9) Navajo Point 15/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 5l in a handicap over 7f at Cork last time but showed improved form; up in trip; touch more required to get off the mark Quiet in maidens but only 12-1 for handicap debut at Cork and kept on to be beaten 5l. |

AMBER BLOSSOM won over 7f at Dundalk last November and has filled the runner-up spot on his latest two outings over a mile on the Polytrack including when not enjoying the clearest of passages behind Sunriseontheboyne. Blondina only faded from over a furlong out on her handicap debut over 1m2f at Navan last month and could be on a competitive mark, while others to consider include Moonhall Lass and Great Mover. The latter was placed twice last year including when caught close home over a mile at Naas, while Navajo Point made an encouraging return at Cork.

Lots with chances but VEGA'S MUSE learned her trade in some warm maidens and the ground was heavy for her handicap debut.

9th (9) (150/1 -50%)Mystic Maureen |
150/1(-50%) | (9) Mystic Maureen 150/1, Two modest efforts and down the field in a maiden over 8f here most recently; up in trip; hard to recommend Down the field in both runs. |

Brise Noir was campaigned in France last year, with an eighth to Dee Stakes winner Mount Kilimanjaro at Longchamp on his second start, and he could do better after being gelded. Burj Zabeel is an interesting Kingman newcomer for the stable that won this in 2022 and is worth a market watch, but QUEBELLA could be the one. As green as grass on debut at Wolverhampton, she still got up to win by a half-length and, with the longer trip in her favour, she may keep her unbeaten record.

Interesting JOYFUL SOUND gets the vote ahead of Brise Noir, Fantasy World and Quebella.

5th (2) (7/2 +56%)Any Road |
7/2(+56%) | (2) Any Road 7/2, Below par down the field in Killashee Hotel Handicap Hurdle (Listed) over 2m1f at Punchestown most recent where found trip too sharp; up in trip; handicapper relenting; in the mix Two-time hurdles winner, poor the last twice, drops in grade, not discounted. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (8/1 +33%)Major Barry |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (16/1 -300%)Cafe Con Leche |
16/1(-300%) | (5) Cafe Con Leche 16/1, Bit too much to do beaten 1 1/4l off 118 at Cork last time ridden to see out the trip; that form franked; usually held up; off a short-break; can give a good account 4-25 over hurdles, went close at Cork latest, up 2lb but should be thereabouts again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (33/1 -65%)Desert Cave |
33/1(-65%) | (8) Desert Cave 33/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; significant jockey booking; quicker ground a plus; inconsistent; may find this inadequate test back from break Won by 26l at Kilbeggan in June last year, mostly struggled since, watch on stable debut. |

BILLY LEE SWAGGER ran a stormer when a close fourth in a massive field in the Albert Bartlett Series Final Handicap Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival. Provided this race doesn't come too soon for him, he should be heavily involved off 3lb higher. Cafe Con Leche kept on well for second at Cork in March which brings him right into contention. Howdoyalikeherhome won over further in Down Royal and will appeal to many, up in class, after a 4lb rise in the weights. Top-weight Lucky Zebo has been out of form, but could enjoy this company particularly off a mark of 129.

BRILLIANT LIGHT will relish this ground, went close off 1lb higher three runs ago and should strip fitter for his latest run.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (15/8 +32%)Coedana |
15/8(+32%) | (3) Coedana 15/8, 40,000 euros King Of Change filly; half-sister to Imperial Command, smart at 8f; dam fair at 7f; probably need the experience 40,000euros yearling; siblings include multiple Tapeta winner; market can guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/2 +55%)Pure Theory |
5/2(+55%) | (4) Pure Theory 5/2, Couple of decent novice efforts last twice, latterly beaten 7l over 8f at Kempton; first time on Tapeta; up in trip; outside chance Promise in both AW starts; pedigree quite positive for step up in trip; of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (20/1 -100%)Star Cast |
20/1(-100%) | (2) Star Cast 20/1, Probably needed race well beaten in a maiden over 8f at Newcastle on seasonal debut; up in trip; should strip fitter and do better Improved with each run for previous yard; last of 8 on return (1m); big step up in trip. |

CHILLI QUEEN was no match for an odds-on favourite when second over 1m3f at Kempton, but she appears to have an easier opportunity in this company. Emma Lavelle's charge was doing her best work in the closing stages on that occasion, so this extra furlong will likely bring further progress. The returning Pure Theory could also improve for this longer trip, while newcomer Coedana is worthy of a second glance.

This looks a much easier assignment for CHILLI QUEEN than against hotpots on her last two starts and she can take full advantage.

6th (6) (28/1 -40%)Falls Of Acharn |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (50/1 -52%)Self Charging |
50/1(-52%) | (8) Self Charging 50/1, Make Believe filly; stable can get the odd first time out winner; rivals set good standard; best watched Well-bred filly faces a tough task on debut but market strength can be a guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (28/1 -409%)Glyndwr |
28/1(-409%) | (2) Glyndwr 28/1, Won a maiden at Dundalk over 7f by a neck last time; previous form had knocks; top course jockey; up in trip; plenty more needed up in grade Won a 7f Dundalk maiden last autumn; gelded since and this trip is a question on return. |

The unpenalised AROUET might be able to take advantage of the weight he receives from previous winners. Runner-up on his racecourse debut at Cork last month, the Paddy Twomey-trained colt shaped with plenty of promise. Given that runners from his yard often improve from their initial outing, it would be no surprise to see the son of Galiway take a significant step forward. Green Triangle should find this easier than the two races he has contested to date this season. Joseph O'Brien's gelding won a maiden at this track last term so should appreciate returning to familiar terrain. Nautical Force, who beat the selection in Cork, holds every chance, despite having to concede weight on this occasion.

Now 5lb better off for a 1.75l defeat by Nautical Force on debut at Cork, AROUET (nap) can reverse that form with improvement.

10th (2) (40/1 -186%)Baldomero |
40/1(-186%) | (2) Baldomero 40/1, Made too much use of beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Goodwood last time out back in October; in good form prior; unproven on fast ground and off a break, but fair mark Lacks recent match practice; gained turf wins on soft/heavy; others preferred. |

Regal Envoy has to be respected following his Newmarket triumph last month, but a 4lb rise will demand more from him. With that in mind, marginal preference is for HAVANAGREATTIME, who sprung a surprise at Newbury and may have more to offer. Treacherous is likely to be in the mix once again, while similar comments apply to Monsieur Beaulieu and Lady Dreamer.

The vote goes to TREFOR (nap), who brings very good stats and is interesting returned to Windsor. Havanagreattime is second pick.

7th (7) (28/1 -12%)Prairie Dancer |
28/1(-12%) | (7) Prairie Dancer 28/1, Made too much use of fourth beaten 52l in Pierce Molony Memorial Novice Chase (Grade 3) over 2m5f at Thurles latest; top course trainer; more needed and faces competition up front here Smart dual-purpose sort but has a lot on his plate in this company. |

A tricky race. This is a drop in class for Blood Destiny, however, his winning form is all on slower ground. He could get away with the ground in this small field, but preference is for his stablemate HERCULE DU SEUIL. This eight-year-old gelding has plenty of smart back form on better ground and, with a record of five wins from 10 chases, he could overcome the five-month absence. Furthermore, he has gone well fresh before. Ash Tree Meadow won this last year and should have a say after unseating in the Grand National at Aintree. Prairie Dancer has a tough task at the weights, but Joseph O'Brien's charge knows where the winning post is.

He had no chance with a rampant Majborough at Punchestown last time, JESSE EVANS is well-treated by these race conditions and can score.

7/1(-40%) | (2) Ray Gun 7/1, Scored by a length off 61 over 12f at Kempton in February and has backed that up many times since over 12f; reliable type, but 14f is an unknown Below-par in cheekpieces (retained) last time; tonight's longer trip looks within range. |

4th (4) (9/1 -13%)Moonlit Stage |

King Kernow finished a respectable second here on last month's reappearance and another good effort looks assured. However, the winner of that race was subsequently beaten over 1m4f at Kempton by SCARLET MOON, and the latter makes more appeal. Archie Watson's charge came out best in a fight to the line and gave the strong impression this extra test of stamina would suit. Ray Gun is preferred to Moonlit Stage.

Having shown the right attitude last week SCARLET MOON can complete the hat-trick under a penalty. King Kernow is the main danger.

CARRIED WITH LOVE, a winner over hurdles at Cork in March, looks well handicapped back on the Flat. Having been slowly away in her maidens last season, the Camelot filly stepped up significantly when third at Galway on her second start in handicaps. In three outings over jumps this winter, she has looked much more like the finished article. Provided that the four-year-old gets away from the stalls on terms, a mark of 62 looks well within her capabilities. Paul Flynn's recent Sligo winner Grizabella should appreciate stepping back up to 1m4f. The mare remains nicely treated on her best form for previous connections. Her stablemate Forlio shouldn't be discounted following a below-par run at Navan.

A maiden hurdle winner at Cork last time, CARRIED WITH LOVE has shown enough to win a Flat contest of this standard.

TRALEE GIRL confirmed the promise that she showed in two starts last year when getting off the mark over 1m4f at Catterick last month. An opening rating of 66 should be workable and the daughter of Camelot could prove to be too good once again. Mrembo may chase the selection home if repeating her recent effort at Brighton, while Shady Bay is next best.

This looks between C&D winner Mrembo and likely improver TRALEE GIRL who makes her handicap debut with Oisin Murphy taking over.

Kilbeggan runner-up THREE IN A ROW can go one place better. The Arthur Moore-trained seven-year-old is lightly raced over fences, with that latest start being only his fourth over the larger obstacles. A winning hurdler, he should appreciate this better ground and if able to reproduce that recent effort, the JP McManus-owned runner can add to his sole career win to date. Last year's winner A Mere Bagatelle has to be a leading contender under Paddy Hanlon. Having shown his well-being when scoring over hurdles on his penultimate start, he had excuses on heavy ground when pulled up last time. Priory Park could easily outrun his odds back on a sounder surface.

DUTY BOUND may have needed his last run, he won his only previous start over fences and there could be more to come from him in chases

Serious Look won for the first time since September 2022 over C&D last month and, with Rab Havlin keeping the ride, he can go well, despite an added 5lb. Pocket Too makes his handicap debut after finding everything happening too quickly over 7f at Southwell and he could be interesting back up in trip, but GUINNESS LAD might have the edge. Slowly away at Windsor, he did well to come home second and, off the same mark, a decent start may be all he needs.

Strong in the market ahead of his C&D comeback, SERIOUS LOOK (nap) can follow up. A 10lb rise will test Spirit Of Bowland.

6th (8) (28/1 -12%)Theflyingbee |
28/1(-12%) | (8) Theflyingbee 28/1, Probably needed race beaten 9l in a maiden at Bellewstown last time; hurdles winner last spring; not proven trip; plenty more needed Beaten 9l on Flat debut at Bellewstown last time; has to do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (125/1 -150%)Parish Express |
125/1(-150%) | (5) Parish Express 125/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 10f at Gowran Park only start where green and missed the break; up in trip; bit to find Beaten 12l on debut at Gowran over 1m1.5f and will have to improve plenty up in trip. |

A beaten odds-on favourite at Limerick last month, the Johnny Murtagh-trained SHAOOL can recover losses. Runner-up on her previous start at Dundalk, the daughter of Belardo was expected to step up a place further. However, after holding every chance over a furlong out, the four-year-old weakened close home. Given that run came on testing ground, she may just appreciate a sounder surface. A four-time winner under NH Rules, the Ted Walsh-trained Gaoth Chuil merits respect on what is only her second start on the Flat. It would be no surprise to see the seven-year-old take a hand in the finish. Ina Mina, a 12-race maiden, will surely get her turn at some stage.

Below her best on soft ground over 1m on comeback, SISSI will be much better suited by this trip and ground.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (25/1 +0%)Most Wanted |
25/1(+0%) | (5) Most Wanted 25/1, Below par comfortably held in a maiden hurdle last time; has not run on the Flat since 2023 in an Irish maiden; lot to take on trust Consistent in Irish maidens in 2022/2023; inferior form over hurdles for new yard. |

Having found only a well-punted favourite too strong in the closing stages over an extended 1m3f here seven days ago, GOLDEN CIRCET makes plenty of appeal reverting to his last winning distance. The five-year-old races off an unchanged mark and should take all the beating if coping with the quick turnaround. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of handicap/seasonal debutant Sir Edward Lear, who has an unexposed profile. Graecia is the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for GOLDEN CIRCET, who could well improve further. Beauld As Brass and Trojan Truth look the main threats.

LIFETIME AMBITION should be very difficult to beat for the Pat Doyle stable. Third in the Foxhunters' at Aintree last month, the 10-year-old won his previous two starts in point-to-points. This time last year, he was good enough to finish runner-up in the Champion Hunters' Chase at the Punchestown Festival. A strong traveller who is arguably at his best at trips short of 3m, he should be ideally suited to this tight track. Hollow Games, another who isn't the strongest of stayers, should also appreciate this lesser test of stamina. A sound jumper, Gordon Elliott's nine-year-old should be competitive. Early Doors has to be respected in his bid to repeat last year's win.

If LIFETIME AMBITION repeats the level of form he showed at Aintree last month he is going to be hard to beat here.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (33/1 -560%)Desert Raider |
33/1(-560%) | (3) Desert Raider 33/1, Raced freely beaten a neck off 58 over 8f at Newcastle last time on reappearance; up in trip; may come on for that run and contender Pleasing comeback at 40-1 but that was a muddling affair and he has to prove his stamina. |

Pessoa has a good record here with five victories over shorter, but he is yet to score over this trip and might have to settle for a place. SNOOZE LANE has won four of his 31 starts, three of them over C&D and all off higher marks, and he may make it five back up in distance to put a poor ninth in February behind him. Desert Raider was a neck second at Newcastle recently and could get involved if he stays this far at the first attempt.

Easy to pick holes in most of these and HAVE YOU A MINUTE gets the nod. Pessoa has often pulled hard when going this far before.

33/1(+0%) | (11) Cardinal Point 33/1, Down the field in a handicap over 7f at Leicester most recent run; form is difficult to weigh-up and mark is probably stiff Has regressive form; big turnaround is required. |

CREST OF LIGHT secured a second win of the year at Wolverhampton a little over a fortnight ago and further progress could be on the cards. Although the son of Zarak has raced exclusively on the all-weather, there is little reason to suggest that he won't excel on his turf bow and he's taken to defy a 5lb higher mark. Manila Thriller didn't enjoy the best of passages when sixth at Wetherby and she's feared most, ahead of Pave The Way.

With their AW form having substance, the handicap newcomers MAN OF LA MANCHA and Life Is Rosie are particularly interesting.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (20/1 -233%)Idahope |
20/1(-233%) | (5) Idahope 20/1, 4,000 euros Idaho gelding; half-brother to Kalahari Diamond, very useful at 16f; yard in good form and can get debut bumper winners; very interesting if money arrives Dam a half-sister to winners; likely better over staying trips but worth a market check. |

Jody Townend is a notable booking for the Terence O'Brien-trained THAT DANNY FEELING. A real eyecatcher when coming from off the pace to finish third in a Listowel maiden hurdle on debut, the gelding ran another solid race when filling the same position in a Galway bumper. Off the track since October, connections must feel that he will appreciate the better ground here. Narrowly denied on his debut in a Listowel bumper, Gaoithe Glory was well behind the selection in that aforementioned Galway race and has work to do to bridge the gap. Lakewood Rose, who stayed on nicely at Cork last time, is not without a chance.

The one with most upside to him is THAT DANNY FEELING, having finished third on both starts in bumpers so he gets the vote

11th (11) (20/1 +0%)Blue Jay Way |
20/1(+0%) | (11) Blue Jay Way 20/1, Raced freely beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; not proven on AW; not in great form and mark bit too testing Inclined to pull hard in two runs back here this spring; isn't without hope if he settles. |

Dumfries bounced back to form when going in at Thirsk a few weeks ago and he has to be noted once again, despite a 3lb rise. That said, marginal preference is for AL SHABAB, who was second off this mark when last seen at Southwell in January. Recent Newcastle third Rogue Thunder edges out Vitalline to be the pick of the remainder.

The lightly raced WILLOW'S KISS, who's taken time to settle down, will find this easier on her Tapeta debut. Dumfries is next best.

3rd (6) (4/1 -33%)Haaf A Diamond |
4/1(-33%) | (6) Haaf A Diamond 4/1, Bit too much to do beaten 4l off 45 over 8f at Beverley last time; could improve on that and figure Can pull hard and hasn't done much in three runs on Tapeta, but is quite capable. |

4/1(+50%) | (3) American Star 4/1, Wide trip beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap over 8f at Southwell last time, possibly not getting a mile; generally out of form, but weak race and not out of it if stays Regressive and has never been quite this far during a long career; not obviously fancied. |

5th (10) (18/1 +64%)Almizan |
18/1(+64%) | (10) Almizan 18/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 7f at Kempton most recent run; had shown very little prior to that Huge prices for three starts this spring, including on her handicap debut last Monday. |

33/1(-50%) | (9) Brave Display 33/1, Raced freely down the field in a classified race here most recent; in fair form prior in similar events; chance Years appear to be catching up; pulled hard when a long way behind Star Of Atlantis latest. |

7th (2) (17/2 +53%)Change Of Fortune |
17/2(+53%) | (2) Change Of Fortune 17/2, Probably needed race beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap here last time off a break; nice mark based on turf form, but that was on heavy Drawn wide on his C&D comeback from six months off a fortnight ago but didn't offer much. |

8th (11) (18/1 +10%)Cammy |
18/1(+10%) | (11) Cammy 18/1, Below par down the field in a handicap here most recent run; top course trainer; out of form, but another that has a squeak in a poor race Poor maiden who missed a huge chunk of his career; has struggled for five different yards. |

9th (8) (5/1 +50%)Beautiful Dawn |
5/1(+50%) | (8) Beautiful Dawn 5/1, Fourth beaten 7l in a handicap over 8f at Southwell latest; that about reflects general level of form and makes mark look stiff Claims in weak handicap on her C&D third in February but that's rather clutching at straws. |

10th (12) (100/1 -52%)Brave Musketeer |
100/1(-52%) | (12) Brave Musketeer 100/1, Down the field in a classified race over 7f at Newcastle most recent run and has shown no worthwhile form; tongue-tie tried Latecomer to the game who's started three-figure prices all runs, generally finishing last. |

HAAF A DIAMOND showed more when fourth at Beverley last time and a repeat of that performance would give her a big chance off a 3lb lower mark here. Capallcliste has not been disgraced on his last couple of starts in classified company and he should not be underestimated. Others to note are Star Of Atlantis, Beautiful Dawn and Hellavapace.

The quirky HAAF A DIAMOND is worth risking off a career-low mark. Star Of Atlantis is another for the very short shortlist.
Ths is the racecard key.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
