13:40 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.83/1 -14%) Not Long Left	0.83 0.83/1(-14%)	(1) Not Long Left 0.83/1, Presenting gelding who changed hands for £200,000 after runner-up sole start in Irish points last November. Tongue tied and more like it third start under Rules when second at Chepstow in April (23.6f). That sets fair standard for Spitalfield to aim at. Improved effort when second at Chepstow last month and sets a decent standard.
2	3 2nd (3) (28/1 +58%) Glorious Mist	28 28/1(+58%)	(3) Glorious Mist 28/1, Fame And Glory mare. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Rath An Iuir. Maiden pointer who looked slow on hurdles debut over C&D 18 days ago. 0-8 in Irish points; tailed off on C&D hurdle debut.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (1/1 +20%) Spitalfield	1 1/1(+20%)	(2) Spitalfield 1/1, Improved from debut when runner-up in a bumper at Thurles and having joined a top yard for £65,000, progressed further when runner-up twice at this track during the winter. Upped markedly in trip for hurdles debut but bred to stay well. Three seconds in bumpers; should go close if taking to hurdling.

LTO Selection:

It is hard to oppose NOT LONG LEFT, who finished a decent second over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow last month. He looks the type to go on progressing and can break his maiden here. That said, Spitalfield makes his debut over timber following some creditable performances in bumpers and should not be dismissed, while Glorious Mist needs to improve.

SPITALFIELD is bred to stay well so this step up in trip now hurdling promises to suit and, sure to be well prepared for this, he's marginally preferred to Not Long Left, who sets a fair standard.

The hurdling experience of NOT LONG LEFT could prove decisive.

13:40 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:45 Curragh Maiden 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (6/1 -140%) Matrika	6 6/1(-140%)	(5) Matrika 6/1, Foaled February 19. No Nay Never filly. Sister to smart 9f/1¼m winner Unicorn Lion, closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Madonnadelrosario. Dam unraced. Blinkered on debut, which is a slight concern, but she makes plenty of appeal otherwise. By a high-class sire and from a powerful yard; blinkers on for debut; has to be respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +13%) Grand Job	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Grand Job 7/1, $105,000 yearling, closely related to useful winner up to 9.5f Divine Image (2-y-o 1m winner, by Scat Daddy) and half-sister to 3 winners, including 2 minor US winners by Air Force Blue. Dam 1m/8.5f winner. Top yard and needs close attention in the betting. Cost USD105,000 as a yearling; US-bred should be suited by this lively ground, so a player.
3	7 3rd (7) (3.5/1 -17%) Mysteries	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(7) Mysteries 3.5/1, Foaled March 17. No Nay Never filly. Closely related to 2-y-o 1m winner Masterpainter. Yard 4-6 with 2-y-os this year and she is one to monitor closely in the betting. By a high-class sire and one to be interested in with yard's juveniles going well.
4	4 4th (4) (2.75/1 +0%) Gunzburg	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(4) Gunzburg 2.75/1, Foaled April 29. £160,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation filly. Dam, winner up to 11.5f (2-y-o 7f winner), half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Mutasayyid. Noteworthy newcomer. Yard no stranger to success with 2-y-o newcomers. By an exciting young sire and cost 160,000GBP at a recent 2yo sale; yard's 2yos going well.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 +27%) Miss Black Jack	16 16/1(+27%)	(6) Miss Black Jack 16/1, Foaled March 2. 24,000 gns foal, £50,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Millionaire Waltz and 6f winner Radio Goo Goo. Others make more appeal on paper. By a first-season sire who is getting plenty of winners; so of interest; check market.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 -10%) Back Down Under	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Back Down Under 11/1, Once-raced filly. 15/2, third of 9 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy) on debut 34 days ago. Should progress and, as the only one of these with experience to draw upon, she has to be respected. Ran a fine race on debut over this trip at Naas; should have improved nicely since; chance.
7th	8 7th (8) (3.5/1 +75%) September Leaves	3.5 3.5/1(+75%)	(8) September Leaves 3.5/1, Foaled May 5. Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to 1m/8.3f winner Cosa Sara and 17f winner Grappa Nonino. Of obvious interest on debut and the market should be revealing. By a classy sire and from a fine family; worth a market check.
8th	2 8th (2) (25/1 +0%) Glor Tire	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) Glor Tire 25/1, Foaled March 19. Teofilo filly. Dam unraced sister to smart winner up to 1m (stayed 1¼m) Steip Amach. Interesting to see what the market has to say. By a quality sire and from the family of smart 2yos; worth a market check.
9th	9 9th (9) (66/1 +0%) Tiscommonknowledge	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Tiscommonknowledge 66/1, Foaled April 25. Gleneagles filly. Sister to 1½m winner Common Practice. Not as appealing as many of these on paper. By a quality sire and damline a mix of speed and stamina; second runner for yard.

LTO Selection:

Aidan O'Brien has hit the ground running with his juveniles this season and though blinkered ahead of her debut, Matrika merits the utmost respect. Back Down Under finished a good third on her introduction at Naas and is likely to take a step forward with that experience under her belt, but preference is for GUNZBURG. The 160,000-pounds daughter of Sioux Nation represents an in-form yard and should have the speed to cope with this trip on her racecourse bow.

The majority of these are appealing on paper. MYSTERIES, who represents the Donnacha O'Brien yard, ticks plenty of the right boxes and the hint should be taken if she's strong in the betting. It could be a 1-2-3 for the O'Brien's, with father Aidan's representative Matrika second choice ahead of Grand Job, trained by brother Joseph. Gunzburg and September Leaves are other likely-looking types to consider, while Back Down Under, the only one of these with experience, also merits respect.

Though MATRIKA unusually has blinkers on for debut, she is a half-sister to a Prix Morny winner and is taken to score.

13:45 Curragh Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 18f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 -64%) Fanfaron Dino	4.5 4.5/1(-64%)	(1) Fanfaron Dino 4.5/1, Ended 2021/22 campaign with success at this venue and showed improved form when 1 length second behind Pilsdon Pen on return at Exeter in November. Similar form when third at Ffos Las 19 days ago but this a pretty quick turnaround given his profile. Drops in class, though. Lightly raced in last year; not quite at best last twice; still considered.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.75/1 +22%) Tara Iti	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(3) Tara Iti 1.75/1, C&D winner who posted a creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to firm) 14 days ago, deserving credit having met trouble. Looks a big player up 2 lb. C&D winner last month and unfortunate latest; could well gain compensation.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/1 +21%) Vin Rouge	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) Vin Rouge 11/1, Scored readily a couple of times on the Flat last summer before gaining a first success over hurdles in a C&D handicap in August. Had wind surgery prior to a heavy defeat on chase debut and is quickly back over the smaller obstacles with a tongue tie back on. C&D winner last August but little in just two starts since; needs to bounce back.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +17%) Our Dylan	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Our Dylan 10/1, Long-standing maiden when trained in Ireland and out of sorts when last seen in the winter, Capable fresh but hard to recommend starting out for new yard. Maiden; beaten in maiden points this spring; possibly best watched.
5th	2 5th (2) (6.5/1 -63%) Clearance	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(2) Clearance 6.5/1, Attracted support and took advantage of much-reduced mark at Newton Abbot a year ago. Best effort since when fourth here 18 days ago and Harry Cobden is a good booking. Quite consistent; ran well here this month but only one win from last 24 starts.
6th	4 6th (4) (3.33/1 +33%) Systemic	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(4) Systemic 3.33/1, Bounced back to form to land 7-runner handicap at Plumpton in May 2022. Not given a hard time on reappearance trying to land that race again and he's fancied to step up on that. Encouraging effort behind Tara Iti on return form a break; likely to do better.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -11%) Zyra's Lioness	20 20/1(-11%)	(6) Zyra's Lioness 20/1, Has looked pretty limited in various company but a recent Flat spin will have served a purpose. Maiden; pulled up on handicap hurdle debut; well held on the Flat this month.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (66/1 +0%) Onnaroll	66 66/1(+0%)	(8) Onnaroll 66/1, Looks very limited and he's a long way out of the weights. Well beaten all starts; 18lb out of the handicap.

LTO Selection:

In a contest lacking depth, it could be worth siding with FANFARON DINO, who arrives here following a third over 2m4f at Ffos Las earlier this month. He retains the mark from that run and could benefit from a drop in trip. Tara Iti has gone up 2lb following a creditable run over 2m at Plumpton and is feared most, while Our Dylan completes the shortlist.

Having won over C&D last month, TARA ITI turned in another excellent effort at Plumpton a fortnight ago and he remains of plenty of interest in a race lacking depth. Fanfaron Dino's profile is a patchy one but he's dangerous at this level if giving his running, with Clearance another to consider.

There may be little between the Gary Moore-trained pair with TARA ITI preferred.

14:15 Curragh Handicap 6f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -33%) Transcendental	10 10/1(-33%)	(8) Transcendental 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, good fifth of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 53 days ago. Has run creditably in two turf runs this term but needs to find a bit extra to feature.
2	11 2nd (11) (8/1 +50%) Iva Batt	8 8/1(+50%)	(11) Iva Batt 8/1, 10/3, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration. Good run at Naas in April, has since flopped in a race in which Craft Irish was second.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 -29%) Queen Maedbh	9 9/1(-29%)	(2) Queen Maedbh 9/1, Thrice-raced winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7f, soft, 9/4) 27 days ago. Yard in good form and she's open to improvement. Dundalk winner, disappointing over 7f in a race in which today's rival Lovejoy was second.
4	7 4th (7) (20/1 +20%) Sioux Spirit	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) Sioux Spirit 20/1, 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, good) 11 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Outpaced over 5f at Cork 11 days ago on her handicap debut, plenty of improvement needed.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +8%) Craft Irish	6 6/1(+8%)	(1) Craft Irish 6/1, Course winner. Blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good, 12/1) 22 days ago, no match for winner. Has won four of her 12 starts, back to form when second to a progressive gelding at Naas.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 -43%) Petit Calvados	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Petit Calvados 20/1, 51/10, fourth of 16 in handicap at Chantilly (6f, good). Off 8 months and she's probably worth taking on. Four-time winner in France, hard to assess but a good run is not out of the question.
7th	12 7th (12) (10/1 -43%) Little Queenie	10 10/1(-43%)	(12) Little Queenie 10/1, 10/3, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Dundalk (5f) 65 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Booking of Whearty a plus. Tongue strap back on. Consistent Dundalk performer, best turf run was when second over 5f here last June.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 -25%) Queen's Pardon	5 5/1(-25%)	(6) Queen's Pardon 5/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner here in March. Very good second of 20 in handicap (7/1) at Navan (5.8f, heavy) 36 days ago, running on. C&D winner in March; went up 7lb for that, raised 8lb for Naas second, that seems harsh.
9th	9 9th (9) (6/1 +0%) Marsa	6 6/1(+0%)	(9) Marsa 6/1, Latest win at Dundalk in November. Creditable third of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Dundalk (7f). Off 158 days. 9 lb lower back on turf and she's a big player. In good form at Dundalk late last year, big chance on good ground off 11lb lower than AW.
10th	3 10th (3) (14/1 +72%) Sophie's Star	14 14/1(+72%)	(3) Sophie's Star 14/1, 33/1, first run since leaving Roger Fell when sixth of 14 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good) 22 days ago. Uphill task. Made a satisfactory start for this stable at Naas but held by Craft Irish on that running.
11th	4 11th (4) (7/1 +0%) Wave Machine	7 7/1(+0%)	(4) Wave Machine 7/1, C&D winner. 20/1, below form 6 lengths sixth of 13 to Believing in listed race at Chelmsford City (6f) 31 days ago, nearest finish. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Birdcatcher nursery winner at Naas, sights lowered now after contesting two Listed races.
12th	10 12th (10) (40/1 -21%) Pilbara Gold	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Pilbara Gold 40/1, 9/2, below form sixth of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (5f). Off 6 months. Hood on 1st time, tongue strap on 1st time. Maiden, placed four times, unlikely to make a breakthrough in a race of this standard.
13th	14 13th (14) (11/1 +0%) Lovejoy	11 11/1(+0%)	(14) Lovejoy 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. 28/1 and hooded for 1st time, very good second of 9 in handicap at this course (7f, soft) 27 days ago. Yard in good form. On the upgrade recently. Sprint maiden winner, back to form when second over 7f last time, ground soft both times.
14th	15 14th (15) (40/1 +0%) Tooprofitable	40 40/1(+0%)	(15) Tooprofitable 40/1, C&D winner. 18½ lengths tenth of 11 to Wave Machine in nursery at Naas (5.9f, heavy, 12/1). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving M. C. Grassick. C&D maiden winner on heavy, in rear in nursery won by Wave Machine, has changed stable.
15th	13 15th (13) (100/1 +0%) Najat	100 100/1(+0%)	(13) Najat 100/1, Sixteenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (5f, good, 40/1) 22 days ago. Others preferred. Thirsk 6f winner on debut for the Crisfords in 2021, Irish form has been poor.

LTO Selection:

QUEEN'S PARDON was denied by under a length last time at Navan and she was a long way clear of the third. She has been put up 8lb for that effort, which may not be enough to prevent her from going one place better. The main threat might be Craft Irish, who showed improved form with the application of first-time blinkers on her latest outing. Others to consider are Marsa and Wave Machine.

MARSA's strike rate on the all-weather is more compelling compared to turf, but she is clearly effective on grass (successful at Gowran last summer) and this 4-y-o will have every chance if she's fully tuned-up following a break. Queen Maedbh ultimately proved disappointing on her handicap debut over 7f here at the beginning of the month but she is well worth another chance given her 2-y-o promise. Iva Batt and Little Queenie are others to consider.

Edward Lynam's MARSA(nap) can exploit an anomaly as she runs off a mark 11lb lower than her AW rating and will be suited by good ground

1	2 1st (2) (0.67/1 +33%) Universal Folly		0.67 0.67/1(+33%)																															(2) Universal Folly 0.67/1, Resumed winning ways over hurdles at Market Rasen (23f) in March and ran creditably despite the drop back in trip looking against him when second over fences at Perth (20f) last month, outpaced early in the straight and staying on. Return to further rates a plus. Capable off this mark and does have the benefit of chasing experience.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.2/1 -45%) Martello Sky		1.2 1.2/1(-45%)																															(1) Martello Sky 1.2/1, Useful hurdler who has been pretty consistent in defeat at listed/Graded level this season. Heavy defeat back in a handicap on final run for Lucy Wadham last month and quicly switches to fences by new yard. Tailed off last time but was generally reliable over hurdles; chase debut.

LTO Selection:

With only two runners going to post, this is a match between Martello Sky and UNIVERSAL FOLLY, and the latter just preferred. The selection has chase experience under his belt and should appreciate this longer distance. The aforementioned Martello Sky makes her stable debut for Dr Richard Newland and could be sparked to life by a change of scenery/obstacles, but the mare may find this 3m trip stretches her stamina.

A match but it's not short on intrigue. The return to 3m will suit UNIVERSAL FOLLY and his experience over fences tilts the scales his way, though Martello Sky would be a formidable opponent if matching her hurdles form sent chasing by her new stable.

With chasing experience in the bag, UNIVERSAL FOLLY is marginally preferred to Martello Sky.

14:30 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (0.17/1 +15%) Clody Flyer	0.17 0.17/1(+15%)	(1) Clody Flyer 0.17/1, Point winner in December who made the most of a good opportunity with something to spare to get off the mark second time up in this sphere at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Should take all the beating. Scored over hurdles at Uttoxeter three weeks ago (second rules start); should follow up.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +38%) Melvich Bay	4 4/1(+38%)	(4) Melvich Bay 4/1, Failed to kick on following a promising start in bumpers and showed little in trio of novice/maiden hurdles. However, she ran her best race when fifth in handicap at this course (20.9f, good to soft) earlier this month so she looks the obvious one for the forecast. Step back in right direction here (2m5f) last time; drop back in trip looks ideal.
3	5 3rd (5) (28/1 -56%) Butterfly Island	28 28/1(-56%)	(5) Butterfly Island 28/1, Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat (stays 1m) but has offered little on both starts for current yard. Makes hurdling debut and worth a market check. 0-18 on Flat and seems to have regressed; third start for new yard; hurdles debut.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 -83%) Ivynator	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Ivynator 33/1, Fairly useful Flat performer but lightly raced over hurdles and yet to match that form. Beat only one in course novice (20.9f, good) in September and hard to warm to on his return. Dual Flat winner for previous stable; has achieved little over hurdles for new yard.
5th	3 5th (3) (80/1 -186%) Jad Mahal	80 80/1(-186%)	(3) Jad Mahal 80/1, Limited impact for Alan King, including on his hurdle debut and it was a similar story on first outing for his new stable at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 5 months ago. Regressive profile and has been absent since January; second run for new stable.

LTO Selection:

CLODY FLYER made all to justify favouritism at Uttoxeter and the third has come out and won well since, so the form is solid. In addition, this looks like an easier contest and the Donald McCain-trained six-year-old is fancied to make light work of his penalty. Melvich Bay ran with credit in a Kelso handicap and could get involved, along with Butterfly Island, who makes her first start over hurdles.

CLODY FLYER had plenty up his sleeve when scoring at Uttoxeter just over 3 weeks ago and this looks a gilt-edged chance for Donald McCain's charge to make it 2-3 under Rules. Melvich Bay is preferred over Butterfly Island for the forecast spot.

The only remotely promising runner in the field is CLODY FLYER, who should win again. Melvich Bay looks the one for the forecast.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (4/1 +20%) Not Another Muddle	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Not Another Muddle 4/1, Just fair nowadays but mark reflects that and has run creditably the last twice, so boasts solid claims. Still runs reasonably well but it's more than four years since he won.
1	4 1st (4) (0.73/1 +47%) Jigginstown King	0.73 0.73/1(+47%)	(4) Jigginstown King 0.73/1, 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f, good) 19 days ago, kept up to work. Boasts a positive profile over fences and looks the one to beat. Fakenham winner this month (made all); 6lb rise might not stop him.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.75/1 +17%) Striking A Pose	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(1) Striking A Pose 2.75/1, Dual hurdles winner who also scored on his chase debut at Exeter (19.2f) last season. Has failed to add to that since, but drop back in trip could help in a first-time tongue strap. Won on chasing debut 18 months ago but 0-10 since; tongue-strap fitted.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 -5%) Koi Dodville	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(2) Koi Dodville 3.5/1, Capitalised on a sliding mark in clear-cut fashion in a 3-runner event at Leicester 89 days ago. Doesn't always jump with such fluency but he's still of interest from a handicapping perspective. Leicester winner when last seen in February; only 1lb higher; could go close.

LTO Selection:

JIGGINSTOWN KING won well over 2m5f at Fakenham last month and a step up in class looks unlikely to stop him following up based on that. The gelded son of Lucky Speed was only narrowly denied at this track on his penultimate run and appears to be an improving type, although Koi Dodville can give him plenty to think about following a facile success at Leicester in February. Not Another Muddle looks best of the remainder.

JIGGINSTOWN KING scored with something to spare at Fakenham last time and is going the right way over fences, so he's preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Koi Dodville. Veteran Not Another Muddle is also considered.

The progressive JIGGINSTOWN KING looks the most obvious option.

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (2.75/1 +21%) Luxembourg	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(3) Luxembourg 2.75/1, High-class colt. C&D winner. 3¼ lengths fifth of 7 to Visualisation in Mooresbridge Stakes (10/11) at this course (10f, soft) 27 days ago, met some trouble. Will be sharper now and leading claims if judged on his Irish Champion Stakes success. Irish Champion Stakes winner with Vadeni third, injured in the Arc, low-key reappearance.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +20%) Bay Bridge	2 2/1(+20%)	(1) Bay Bridge 2/1, High-class horse. 23/10, respectable 1¼ lengths third of 7 to Iresine in Prix Ganay at Longchamp (10.4f, soft) 28 days ago, with Vadeni 1½ lengths adrift in fourth. Major player. Last season's Champion Stakes winner, 1 1/2l in front of Vadeni in the Prix Ganay.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 +33%) Piz Badile	22 22/1(+33%)	(4) Piz Badile 22/1, Smart colt. Creditable 3 lengths third of 7 to Visualisation in Mooresbridge Stakes at this course (10f, soft, 9/1) 27 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Plenty to find with the principals in this contest. Irish Derby runner-up, third on seasonal debut with a below-par Luxembourg in fifth.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 +0%) Layfayette	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Layfayette 33/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Creditable 1¾ lengths third of 6 to Point Lonsdale in Huxley Stakes at Chester (10.3f, soft, 20/1) 16 days ago, not ideally placed. Plenty to find with the 'big three' here. Showing a consistent standard of form this year but would be a shock winner at this level.
5th	5 5th (5) (1.38/1 -25%) Vadeni	1.38 1.38/1(-25%)	(5) Vadeni 1.38/1, Top-class colt. 2¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Iresine in Prix Ganay (21/10) at Longchamp (10.4f, soft) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Big chance judged on last season's form, not least his fine second in the Arc. Jockey-Club and Eclipse winner, second in Arc, renews Prix Ganay rivalry with Bay Bridge.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 +18%) Trevaunance	66 66/1(+18%)	(6) Trevaunance 66/1, Smart filly. 33/1, 3¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Visualisation in Mooresbridge Stakes at this course (10f, soft) 27 days ago. Yard in good form but she looks up against it. Two 2022 Deauville wins, finished behind three of these rivals in the Mooresbridge Stakes.

LTO Selection:

BAY BRIDGE was very impressive when seeing off 2021 Epsom Derby and King George hero Adayar in the Champion Stakes at Ascot, with the previously-unbeaten Baaeed only fourth. Sir Michael Stoute's five-year-old made a perfectly satisfactory reappearance when third in the Prix Ganay and looks the one to beat. Vadeni was a place behind him at Longchamp, but has been supplemented for this and took the Prix du Jockey Club and Eclipse last season before a cracking second in the Arc. Luxembourg had the French raider back in third when triumphant in the Irish Champion Stakes and will step forward from his comeback fifth in the Mooresbridge.

A fascinating clash between classy trio VADENI, Bay Bridge and Luxembourg, and there's very little to choose between them. The vote goes to Vadeni, who landed the Eclipse over this trip last summer and brought the curtain down on a fine 2022 campaign by finishing second in the Arc. The French raider was a place adrift of the re-opposing Bay Bridge on return at Longchamp, but he looked rusty that day and is taken to reverse those placings here. Bay Bridge is second choice ahead of Luxembourg.

Last season's Prix du Jockey Club and Eclipse winner VADENI gets the vote to reverse Irish Champion Stakes form with Luxembourg

14:50 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.1/1 +51%) Ooh Betty	1.1 1.1/1(+51%)	(1) Ooh Betty 1.1/1, Point winner who is evidently going the right way now, having a bit in hand when opening her account at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago by 5½ lengths from Manimole. Should have more to offer so holds obvious claims. Going the right way and might well be up to defying a penalty in this company.
2	8 2nd (8) (2.75/1 +39%) Manimole	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(8) Manimole 2.75/1, Modest maiden hurdler who had no problem with the longer trip when 5½ lengths second of 11 to Ooh Betty at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, taking too long to wind up. Could get closer to that rival with her usual rider back on board. Even on better terms she's unlikely to reverse Ludlow placings with Ooh Betty.
3	10 3rd (10) (8.5/1 +0%) Our Friend Mo	8.5 8.5/1(+0%)	(10) Our Friend Mo 8.5/1, Mahler mare who was third in her sole start in Irish points and showed a bit before being derailed by a blunder on hurdling debut at Haydock (18.9f, good to firm just over 7 weeks ago. Point winner; made a mid-race blunder when beaten 20l on hurdling debut.
4	12 4th (12) (50/1 -257%) Jolie Baie	50 50/1(-257%)	(12) Jolie Baie 50/1, Offered little in a Huntingdon bumper on Rules debut in February and stepped up on hurdles bow when third at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. More required. An improved third at Exeter but without posing any threat to the principals.
5th	6 5th (6) (66/1 -65%) Crimson Ruby	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Crimson Ruby 66/1, Half-sister to fair hurdler Prussia With Love, stays 23f. Down the field in Huntingdon/Southwell bumpers in recent months so she's not the easiest to warm to sent hurdling. Bred to make a hurdler but she's an unlikely winner on what she's shown thus far.
6th	7 6th (7) (200/1 -100%) Getalady	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Getalady 200/1, Winning pointer but went with no encouragement in maiden at Aintree and novice at Leicester in 2021/22 season. Has since left Jake Thomas Coulson and arrives with plenty to prove after 17 months off. Irish point winner but no signs of promise in two outings over hurdles in 2021.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -186%) On Se Calme	40 40/1(-186%)	(9) On Se Calme 40/1, No Risk At All filly who got off mark in Irish points at second attempt but showed nothing making debut under Rules in bumper at Warwick in December. Tough to know what to expect on hurdling debut. Tailed off in a soft-ground bumper but she won her point on good ground.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (8/1 +50%) Bell Way	8 8/1(+50%)	(3) Bell Way 8/1, Beat Hollow mare. Dam triple bumper winner/fair 2½m hurdle winner. Wears tongue strap. First foal; dam triple bumper and 2m4f hurdle winner; could easily have some say on debut.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (14/1 -250%) Blue Clover	14 14/1(-250%)	(5) Blue Clover 14/1, Modest in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when runner-up in maiden at Stratford (16.3f, soft) 5 weeks ago. That experience won't have been lost on her so needs considering. Accrued further place money when a one-paced second on her hurdling debut; goes further.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (16/1 -14%) Blow The Budget	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Blow The Budget 16/1, Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Kakamora and showed promise when fifth of 11 on debut in a Uttoxeter bumper last autumn. Ran to a similar level 6 months off at Southwell recently and she's worth a market check on hurdles bow. Fair efforts in two bumpers and bred to do better now hurdling over further.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (22/1 -120%) Pennsylvanie	22 22/1(-120%)	(13) Pennsylvanie 22/1, Fair form on 2 of her 3 starts in France and stepped up on British/yard debut despite not being seen to best effect when 14½ lengths fifth of 11 to Ooh Betty in maiden at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, losing place when hampered seventh. Behind both Ooh Betty and Manimole at Ludlow (beaten about 15l by the winner).
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (33/1 +50%) Ample Handful	33 33/1(+50%)	(2) Ample Handful 33/1, €7,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel mare. Dam pulled up both starts over hurdles. Pulled up sole start in Irish points (Apr 8). Poor point run but has joined a respected yard under rules.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (50/1 -100%) Real Pieces	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Real Pieces 50/1, Telescope mare. Half-sister to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Actinpieces and useful hurdler/chaser Xcitations, stays 2½m. Half-sister to six winners but a watching brief is probably best.

LTO Selection:

Ooh Betty had reopposing Manimole (second) behind her when shedding her maiden tag at Ludlow last time and another bold bid is expected, despite shouldering a 6lb penalty here. However, a chance is taken on BLUE CLOVER, who finished runner-up on her hurdling debut over an extended 2m at Stratford in April and Fergal O'Brien's mare may find the necessary improvement now up in trip. The lightly-raced Our Friend Mo also enters calculations.

OOH BETTY had a bit up her sleeve when seeing off Manimole at Ludlow earlier this month and, with further improvement a distinct possibility for Ben Clarke's mare, she's fancied to confirm those placings once again. Blue Clover is sure to have derived plenty from her runner-up effort on hurdling debut so she can fight out third spot with Our Friend Mo.

Ben Clarke's OOH BETTY pulled readily clear of Manimole at Ludlow and confirming those places might be enough here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4.5/1 +18%) The Ferry Master	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(2) The Ferry Master 4.5/1, Progressed very well over fences during 2020/21 campaign, notably finishing fourth in that season's Scottish Grand National. Has subsequently failed to reproduce that level of form but mark continues to fall at least. Revival would put him in the picture; on a very handy mark.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 -20%) Hidden Commander	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Hidden Commander 4/1, Boasts a fine strike rate over fences. Tame effort here recently but might strip fitter for that, so no surprise if he bounces back quickly. Successful on this card last year; likely player if bouncing back to form.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.75/1 +45%) Dolly Dancer	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(4) Dolly Dancer 2.75/1, Has struggled since scoring over 3m here last June but she's potentially well treated and the return to this trip should help. Gained both handicap wins off higher marks; possibilities if anywhere near best.
4	3 4th (3) (1.25/1 -14%) Exit To Where	1.25 1.25/1(-14%)	(3) Exit To Where 1.25/1, Improved to enhance excellent course record (won this last year) over 23.4f here recently and had a bit to spare, so makes plenty of appeal once more. Scored over 2m7f here last time; defied a 3lb higher mark in this race last year.

LTO Selection:

EXIT TO WHERE struck by half a length over the extended 2m7f here, for which he has been put up 5lb. Iain Jardine's representative is still 3lb below his mark when landing this prize last year and he could prove very tough to beat again. A threat could come in the shape of Dolly Dancer, who takes a step back up in distance, while Hidden Commander and The Ferry Master are expected to finish behind the selection once more.

EXIT TO WHERE had something to spare when scoring here last time and the drop back in trip shouldn't pose much of a problem, so he's preferred to Hidden Commander, who is expected to be back on his game.

Last year's winner EXIT TO WHERE gets the verdict. The Ferry Master is the suggested second choice.

6	6 (6) (7.5/1 +25%) Lock's Corner	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(6) Lock's Corner 7.5/1, Ran out a decisive winner at Catterick and Ayr (both at around 2½m) at the end of last year. Appears to have gone off the boil for now, though. Two wins at the end of last year but appears to have gone off the boil.
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +33%) Hunters Call	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Hunters Call 4/1, Veteran who bounced back from a couple of tame efforts when second at Ayr last month. Well treated and likely to take a hand if he can back that up. Showed he still has plenty of fire when close second at Ayr but may be vulnerable again.
2	7 2nd (7) (2/1 +43%) Estacas	2 2/1(+43%)	(7) Estacas 2/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good, 20/1) 17 days ago, driven out. That form is backed up by the time, so he should go well if he gets the longer trip. Won well at Huntingdon, after wind surgery, and could defy 7lb rise.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.5/1 +64%) Hooper	2.5 2.5/1(+64%)	(3) Hooper 2.5/1, Useful hurdler and last seen running creditably when fourth at Cheltenham 7 months ago. Not the most reliable but definite claims if he returns on a going day. Back from seven months off; not at his peak last year but now on a decent mark.
4	5 4th (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Vision Des Flos	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(5) Vision Des Flos 4.5/1, Scored over fences at Warwick in September. First poor run since when pulled up at Stratford 57 days ago but he's lower in the weights back over hurdles. Better known as a chaser but good second last August on most recent hurdle start.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 -57%) Pisgah Pike	11 11/1(-57%)	(2) Pisgah Pike 11/1, Career best when winning 11-runner Summer Handicap Hurdle at Market Rasen last July. Inconsistent subsequently but warrants a market check returning from 7 months off. Won off just 1lb lower last July but absent since October; bit to prove.

LTO Selection:

HUNTERS CALL returned to form when adopting more positive tactics on his second-placed finish at Ayr last month and a similar approach may prove the tonic on this drop in class. Estacas was a ready winner on his handicap debut at Huntingdon recently and he's feared most off 7lb higher, while 2019 National Spirit victor Vision Des Flos also warrants consideration now tackling the C&D of his last success over hurdles.

CASA LOUPI looked promising over hurdles earlier in his career and, having returned from an absence with a likeable performance on the Flat, he's worth chancing. Hunters Call is a big danger following a return to form and Estacas should play a part.

Back from an absence with a good Flat run this month, CASA LOUPI (nap) can make the most of a decent handicap mark.

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +53%) Just Beautiful	4 4/1(+53%)	(5) Just Beautiful 4/1, Useful mare. 11/4, 7¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Honey Girl in Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft) 27 days ago. Others have achieved more. Only fifth behind Honey Girl on reappearance, still a chance she can retrieve best form.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +10%) Jumbly	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(4) Jumbly 4.5/1, Useful filly. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton. Yard also saddles Honey Girl and Goldana. Very much of interest with Ryan Moore in the hot-seat. Competed at a high level for the Charltons last season, Ryan Moore aboard for stable debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 -5%) Insinuendo	3.5 3.5/1(-5%)	(3) Insinuendo 3.5/1, Smart mare. 10/3, 3 lengths fourth of 7 to Visualisation in Mooresbridge Stakes at this course (10f, soft) 27 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Merits serious consideration. Boasts a fine record at this venue and commands respect as the highest-rated runner.
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 -8%) Goldana	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(1) Goldana 6.5/1, Smart filly. First run since leaving Peter Schiergen when winning 7-runner Gladness Stakes (17/2) at this course (7f, heavy) on IRE debut 42 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Mea Domina. Honey Girl appears to be the stable No 1. Won a Group 3 event here on her Irish debut, should appreciate the return to a longer trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (2.25/1 +25%) Honey Girl	2.25 2.25/1(+25%)	(2) Honey Girl 2.25/1, Smart filly. Career best when winning 8-runner Athasi Stakes at this course (7f, soft, 4/1) 27 days ago by 3½ lengths from Agartha, driven clear. Leading claims. Ran well at a high level last season, has come good in winning both races for this stable.
6th	7 6th (7) (40/1 -100%) Spring Feeling	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) Spring Feeling 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 17/2, 3½ lengths seventh of 10 to Azure Blue in listed race at Newmarket (6f, soft) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Difficult ask. Failed to feature in 6f Listed contest at Newmarket on seasonal debut, others preferred.
7th	6 7th (6) (40/1 -122%) Redressed	40 40/1(-122%)	(6) Redressed 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/1, 20¼ lengths last of 14 to Indian Wish in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others look stronger. Second to Insinuendo over C&D in March, failed to do herself justice at Gowran on latest.
8th	8 8th (8) (22/1 -83%) Star Girls Aalmal	22 22/1(-83%)	(8) Star Girls Aalmal 22/1, Useful filly. 7¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Honey Girl in Athasi Stakes (4/1) at this course (7f, soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Fourth to Insinuendo here in March, tame showing last time in race won by Honey Girl.

LTO Selection:

Joseph O'Brien launches a three-pronged assault but even though Jumbly is the mount of Ryan Moore, she has a 309-day layoff to overcome and the pick of the trio may be Honey Girl, who stepped up markedly on her maiden success when bounding clear for an impressive Group 3 victory here. However, Willie McCreery has a good record in this contest and narrow preference is for his INSINUENDO. Too keen over 1m2f in the Mooresbridge Stakes, she is better judged on her C&D defeat of Redressed in the Park Express over track and trip in March and her good third in a Group 1 on Champions Day at Ascot last October.

Joseph O'Brien holds a very strong hand here and JUMBLY, who is making her debut for the yard, could be the way to go. The Gleneagles filly has been absent since landing a Group 3 at Ascot last July, but she went close on her reappearance last season and, with just eight runs under her belt, there is probably better to come. Stablemate Honey Girl looked good in the Athasi and is feared most ahead of Insinuendo and Goldana, who is also a stablemate of Jumbly.

Slight preference is for JUMBLY who may be better suited by the ground than stablemates Honey Girl and Goldana

Likely type on chasing debut. Consistent over hurdles last season; makes her chasing debut here; trip/ground will suit.
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +9%) Judge Earle		1 1/1(+9%)																															(1) Judge Earle 1/1, Lost his form towards the end of last year but drops in grade and returns with his stable amongst the winners. Strong claims. Won five good-ground chases in early part of last season; back from break on good mark.

LTO Selection:

This is now a match after Ballaquane was declared a non-runner. JUDGE EARLE lost his form towards the end of his last campaign in October, but he boasts a fine record at this course and, with his stable among the winners of late, he is fancied to regain the winning thread on his return. Brianna Rose was in good heart over hurdles in March and is an obvious threat if taking to fences for the first time.

BRIANNA ROSE is a reliable hurdler who has been found a weak race to begin her chasing career, so a chance is taken on her to beat Judge Earle, who returns at a time when his stable is in good order.

Likely front-runner JUDGE EARLE enjoyed a very productive spell in good-ground chases last year and resumes on a good mark.

Runner-up at Haydock last month and every chance he'll be bang there.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.75/1 +50%) Matchless	1.75 1.75/1(+50%)	(3) Matchless 1.75/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who scored on hurdles bow at Newcastle (16.2f) in November. Doubled his tally back in a novice 2 months later and continued the good work back on the level when scoring at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Bold bid anticipated. Promising start over hurdles last season and he won on the Flat three weeks ago.
3	4 3rd (4) (7.5/1 -7%) Russian Virtue	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(4) Russian Virtue 7.5/1, Has thrived for this yard, completing the hat-trick over hurdles at Sedgefield in January. Scored again back on the Flat in March and shaped as though still in good form both outings since. Prolific in the last six months and good third at Hexham three weeks ago; player.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -100%) Bythesametoken	5 5/1(-100%)	(2) Bythesametoken 5/1, Mixed bag over fences last year but down in the weights over timber, he's back in good form, runner-up twice this spring. Looks ready to cash in. Second on both starts this spring, in big field at Ayr latest; could again be thereabouts.
5th	5 5th (5) (4.5/1 +10%) The Navigator	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(5) The Navigator 4.5/1, Notched fifth success over hurdles when accounting for 4 rivals in a 21f handicap here in September. Largely below par since, though he did at least stop the rot here 18 days ago. Drops markedly in trip. Second in this last year; step back in right direction here last time but needs extra.

LTO Selection:

Bythesametoken outran his odds of 50/1 at Ayr to take second at the Scottish National meeting and he has only been raised 2lb, which is likely to keep him involved. However, preference is for CASTEL GANDOLFO, who returned from a break to be beaten just three lengths at Haydock and he is fancied to go one place better off 2lb higher. Matchless is also respected as he returns to this sphere after scoring on the Flat at Doncaster.

A small field but a good race for the grade with BYTHESAMETOKEN just about the most persuasive option from this handy hurdles mark. Castel Gandolfo and Russian Virtue have been knocking on the door and seem sure to go well again.

Topweight CASTEL GANDOLFO returned from a break with a good second at Haydock last month and earns the vote ahead of Russian Virtue

1	1 \|B\| (1) (2.5/1 -43%) Jony Max	2.5 2.5/1(-43%)	(1) Jony Max 2.5/1, Admirably consistent in 2022 and back from 6-month absence when creditable second of 10 in handicap chase at Fakenham (29.1f, good) 19 days ago. 10 lb lower in this sphere and holds solid claims. Narrow defeat over fences latest but yet to win a hurdle.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (12/1 +25%) Sir Dan Dan	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Sir Dan Dan 12/1, Beaten a long way in 3 maiden hurdles thus far, latest for new yard at Plumpton last month. Improvement required on handicap bow. Tailed off all three hurdle starts; up in trip for handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

ASTROMAN landed a maiden success over hurdles at Stratford last week and it's possible that he's improved enough to shrug off a 7lb penalty now turned out quickly in a handicap. Jony Max has yet to win over the smaller obstacles in five appearances, nevertheless, Christian Williams' gelding finished a good second over fences on his return at Fakenham earlier in the month. Barrowmount makes most appeal of the remainder.

JONY MAX matched his best form, on first outing since November, when runner-up at Fakenham earlier this month and can take advantage of his lower hurdles mark here. Astroman and Barrowmount rate the principal dangers.

The recent efforts of BARROWMOUNT suggest he could take this moderate handicap.

5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -50%) Jackie Oh	18 18/1(-50%)	(6) Jackie Oh 18/1, Twice-raced winner. Winner at Naas in March. ¾-length second of 7 to Village Voice in listed race at Navan (10f, heavy, 11/10) 36 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement. Winner over 1m on debut, failed to advance her reputation when second over 1m2f at Navan.
6th	10 6th (10) (28/1 -40%) You Send Me	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) You Send Me 28/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Cork in April. ½-length second of 6 to Power Under Me in Amethyst Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 6/1) 21 days ago, having run of race. Needs to raise her game. Creditable second when taking on seven older rivals in a 1m Group 3 event at Leopardstown.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 +24%) Breege	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) Breege 50/1, Useful filly. Good 6½ lengths fifth of 12 to Blue Rose Cen in Prix Marcel Boussac (25/1) at Longchamp (8f, soft). Off 7 months and she would be a surprise winner. Has run well in defeat in Group 3 races, in front of Aspen Grove in Prix Marcel Boussac.
8th	4 8th (4) (100/1 +0%) Dower House	100 100/1(+0%)	(4) Dower House 100/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 2½ lengths third of 14 to Indian Wish in listed race at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 15/2) 25 days ago, met some trouble. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Seemingly Aidan O'Brien's third-string. Listed-placed at Gowran early this month, the weakest of three runners for the stable.
9th	5 9th (5) (28/1 -27%) Eternal Silence	28 28/1(-27%)	(5) Eternal Silence 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 6¾ lengths third of 11 to Tahiyra in Moyglare Stud Stakes at this course (7f, heavy, 50/1), running on. Off 8 months. Should progress but minor place claims if likely the best she can hope for. Maiden who outran her 50-1 odds when 6 3/4l third behind Tahiyra in the Moyglare.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 +24%) Aspen Grove	50 50/1(+24%)	(1) Aspen Grove 50/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Good 2½ lengths third of 11 to Zarinsk in Cornelscourt Stakes at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 25/1) 21 days ago. Looks up against it at this level. 66-1 C&D Group 3 win highlight of her career, 1 1/4l behind Tarawa on seasonal debut.

LTO Selection:

Last season's champion two-year-old filly thanks largely to her impressive Moyglare success, TAHIYRA was a warm order for the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. She looked the likely winner coming into the Dip, but a big mid-race move and possibly the lack of a prep run told and she was fought off by Mawj. She was still a long way clear of the third, though, and can taste Classic glory today. Meditate was runner-up in the Moyglare and only sixth at Newmarket, but she showed her brilliance at the Breeders' Cup and better is expected. It is interesting that her trainer Aidan O'Brien has opted to drop Jackie Oh back down to a mile, while Moyglare third Eternal Silence is another who could get involved at a bigger price.

It's hard to look beyond TAHIYRA, who was so impressive when brushing Meditate aside in the Moyglare here last term and she was well clear of the rest when touched off by Mawj in the English 1000 Guineas on return at Newmarket. This will be just her fourth career start, so it's reasonable to anticipate improvement. Stablemate Tarawa looks promising and she is preferred to the Aidan O'Brien-trained duo Meditate and Jackie Oh.

Providing that TAHIYRA has made the anticipated improvement from her 1,000 Guineas second this should be relatively straightforward

1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +29%) Gloire D'athon	5 5/1(+29%)	(6) Gloire D'athon 5/1, Thriving sort who made it four from five over fences when landing a handicap at Sandown a month ago. Could do better again and another bold showing is expected from this likeable type. Won four chases last season, the latest a valuable event at Sandown last month; respected.
2	12 2nd (12) (6/1 +29%) Quid Pro Quo	6 6/1(+29%)	(12) Quid Pro Quo 6/1, 10/3, got off the mark over fences with a career best in 8-runner handicap at Southwell in April and backed it up with a reasonable showing at Warwick. Run of this race should suit his style. Has got his act together over fences this spring and is probably still on a workable mark.
3	2 3rd (2) (22/1 -83%) Killer Clown	22 22/1(-83%)	(2) Killer Clown 22/1, Dual handicap winner over 2½m in 2021/22 season. Ran well at Market Rasen on return but had a hard race that day and hasn't fired since. On a good mark now but needs latest wind op (his third) to have made a difference.
4	11 4th (11) (9/1 -29%) Walk In Clover	9 9/1(-29%)	(11) Walk In Clover 9/1, Proved well suited by truly-run affair and sprang a surprise from 14 lb out of the weights when landing 20.6f Grade 2 handicap chase at Cheltenham under this rider. Followed up at Southwell a week later and revised mark could still be within range, Improved form when completing a quick double last month; dangerous to ignore in this mood.
5th	10 5th (10) (8.5/1 -6%) Coastguard Station	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(10) Coastguard Station 8.5/1, Dual winning pointer who improved on his hurdles form when making a winning chase debut in 2m handicap at Doncaster in November. Good placed efforts since (left with a lot to do at Ayr last time) and should get the longer trip. Ended last season with two good 2m runs and looks well worth another crack at 2m4f.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 -22%) Northern Bound	22 22/1(-22%)	(3) Northern Bound 22/1, Enhanced his fine strike rate over fences when taking 4-runner handicap (11/8) at Newbury (19.8f, good to firm) in November, bit in hand. Running well when unseated at Chepstow (might have been placed) last time and should remain competitive. In career-best form last summer/autumn; needs to be back at peak to overcome this mark.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 +0%) Jacamar	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Jacamar 12/1, Capitalised on drop in grade in 9-runner handicap chase at Leicester in February. Just respectable efforts at best since (poor effort at Aintree last time). Something to prove. Won in February but was largely below par last season; others preferred.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +36%) Captain Tom Cat	7 7/1(+36%)	(7) Captain Tom Cat 7/1, Developed into a pretty smart chaser in 2021/22, successful 4 times. Not the same force nowadays but performed respectably when third at Aintree 9 days ago. Blinkers go back on. Not the force of old but placed twice this spring and will be suited by today's ground.
9th	1 9th (1) (6.5/1 -44%) Tea Clipper	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(1) Tea Clipper 6.5/1, Respectable eighth of 16 in handicap chase at Sandown (28.7f, good, 10/1) 29 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. On a reasonable mark and is worth bearing in mind back at a trip that is more suitable. Safely held in major handicaps on final two starts last season but will find this easier.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (5/1 +9%) Raffle Ticket	5 5/1(+9%)	(4) Raffle Ticket 5/1, Point/hurdles winner who cemented positive start over fences when landing an 11-runner handicap at Worcester 20 days ago. More to come and boasts leading claims. Low-mileage 9yo who is 2-3 over fences after last month's Worcester success; big player.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (12/1 +25%) Witness Protection	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Witness Protection 12/1, Dual hurdles winner who made it third time lucky over fences at Chepstow (2m) in November 2021. Lightly raced since but more encouragement when sixth at this course last time. Drop back in trip will suit. Put in good front-running shift over 3m here this month and 2m4f probably suits better.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (25/1 -25%) Magic Dancer	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Magic Dancer 25/1, Picked up where he left off last season by making a winning reappearance at Cheltenham in November. Not in the same form subsequently, however. Won off this mark at Cheltenham in November but two lesser efforts have followed.

LTO Selection:

GLOIRE D'ATHON did it very nicely at Sandown last time, making it four wins from his last five starts, and he continues to look firmly on the upgrade for the Sarah Humphrey yard. The son of Doctor Dino is now only 3lb higher and given the manner of that latest success, he is taken to go in once more. The main danger might be Raffle Ticket, who struck by just over a length at Worcester last time and could get involved off a 5lb higher rating. Walk In Clover is in fine fettle and has to be considered.

RAFFLE TICKET arrives on a hat-trick and had something to spare at Worcester last time, so he's preferred to Gloire d'Athon, who is also progressing well at the moment. Walk In Clover is another big player.

There could be more to come from RAFFLE TICKET (nap), who kept on strongly to score at Worcester this month and remains lightly raced.

1	1 1st (1) (1.25/1 +44%) Rae Des Champs	1.25 1.25/1(+44%)	(1) Rae Des Champs 1.25/1, Having won on handicap debut at Musselburgh (15.6f) in 2021/22, back on track when runner-up at this course in April (18.1f) and unsuited by way race developed when fourth at Newcastle (23.7f) 12 days ago. Can return to winning ways with more to offer over this distance. Stayed on for good fourth over 2m7f last time and this longer trip could suit.
2	5 2nd (5) (4.5/1 +10%) Sputnik	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(5) Sputnik 4.5/1, Off the mark over fences in handicap at Hexham (20.1f) last spring and had bit in hand when also scoring at Ayr in October. Placed for the third time in 4 starts when runner-up at Perth (23.8f) 11 days ago, so he can give another good account back over hurdles. Good 2nd off this mark over h'dles recently; effective over hurdles in the past; respected.

However, will need to find more if she's to open her account. 0-14 but fair efforts the last twice and might not be far away.
4	2 4th (2) (7.5/1 -67%) Lissen To The Lady	7.5 7.5/1(-67%)	(2) Lissen To The Lady 7.5/1, Three-time course winner (all at 22.7f) and proved at least as good as ever when successful at Hexham (23.3f) in March. Followed up back there 2 weeks later and not seen to best effect when mid-field here on her latest outing. Could bounce back upped in trip. 3-time course winner who scored twice in a row at Hexham in March; below par here latest.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 -233%) Sir Apollo	40 40/1(-233%)	(6) Sir Apollo 40/1, Both wins in handicap chases at Sedgefield, the latest in first-time blinkers in February (26.9f). However, has been let down by his jumping of late, unseating at the first on stable debut (formerly with Sam England) last time. Now makes handicap hurdle debut. Unproven over hurdles but on a handy mark on best chase form and not written off.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (14/1 +44%) Placedela Concorde	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Placedela Concorde 14/1, Course winner but it's been twenty-seven runs since his last success back in 2018. From well out of the handicap, down the field in handicap at Perth (20.2f) 10 days ago. Remains best watched as he goes up in distance with cheekpieces on first-time. On a long losing run and hard to fancy from 5lb out of the handicap; cheekpieces go on.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (5/1 -82%) The Blame Game	5 5/1(-82%)	(3) The Blame Game 5/1, All 3 career victories gained at Sedgefield, capitalising on a falling mark when landing handicap there (3m3f) in February. Remains with handicapping scope on old form, so he's not taken lightly upped further in distance. Won at Sedgefield last time; that's his favourite track but he's not ruled out.

LTO Selection:

Rae Des Champs arrives following a fair fourth over an extended 2m7f at Newcastle and the fact that Dylan Johnston knocks 7lb off the mare's back with his claim makes her of interest. However, THE BLAME GAME took a big step forward when scoring over 3m3f at Sedgefield in February and looks the one to side, despite a 5lb raised mark. Sputnik is another to bear in mind following a creditable second over fences at Perth.

Having a first try at around 3m, RAE DES CHAMPS wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Newcastle last time, closing all the way to the line having been unsuited by the way the race developed. She's well worth another chance at this sort of trip, so is taken to get the better of The Blame Game who remains well-treated on old form. Sputnik can also go well back over hurdles.

Lightly raced mare RAE DES CHAMPS (nap) has shaped as though she will be suited by this step up in trip. Sputnik is second choice.

Hard to fancy. Badly out of form but best efforts came at this track a year ago.
2	5 2nd (5) (8.5/1 -31%) An Marcach	8.5 8.5/1(-31%)	(5) An Marcach 8.5/1, Just 1 win from 37 NH runs. Yet to score for current yard and no signs of encouragement back from 3 months off here recently. Just 1-37 in career and not in great form lately; change of headgear.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (1/1 +67%) Doyens De Ante	1 1/1(+67%)	(4) Doyens De Ante 1/1, Maiden hurdler but has taken well to chasing, opening his account at the fourth attempt at Chepstow (26.2f) last month before following up in convincing fashion at Huntingdon (23.6f). Not disgraced over shorter trip at Hexham since and must enter calculations. Beaten at Hexham five days ago but still major claims on previous two wins.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (5/1 +23%) Auld Sod	5 5/1(+23%)	(8) Auld Sod 5/1, Not the most reliable but returned to form (from 5 lb out of the weights) when third of 8 over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago. Only 2 lb out of the handicap on this occasion and can make his presence felt. Best effort for some time when third over C&D this month; claims on that.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (5.5/1 +39%) Mister Tickle	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(3) Mister Tickle 5.5/1, Completed a hat-trick over fences during second half of 2021 (twice over C&D) but is hard to recommend based on what he has showed more recently. Mostly well beaten in the last 18 months and often races with little enthusiasm.

LTO Selection:

CALL OF THE LOON lost little in defeat when runner-up on his seasonal return at Plumpton recently and this drop in class could be enough to see him land a first success of the year. Doyens De Ante can be excused his fourth-placed finish at Hexham on Tuesday, where the 2m4f trip would have been on the sharp side, and better is expected over this stiffer test. Abington Park may have been freshened up by a winter break and also enters calculations.

This can go to CALL OF THE LOON, who has acquitted himself well on all 3 starts for Christian Williams and remains fairly treated. Doyens de Ante and Auld Sod may provide the chief threat.

Back up to a more suitable trip, DOYENS DE ANTE can resume his progress.

1	1 1st (1) (0.8/1 +12%) Drumroll	0.8 0.8/1(+12%)	(1) Drumroll 0.8/1, Promising individual. 6/1, 1½ lengths second of 6 to Paddington in listed race at this course (8f, soft) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Promises to be suited by this step up in trip and yard has a fine record in this race. Won a Navan maiden and improved effort in a Listed here, both over 1m; faster ground today.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +47%) Kingswood	4 4/1(+47%)	(2) Kingswood 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. 5/1, won 14-runner maiden at Cork (10.1f, good to soft) 37 days ago, well on top finish. Should improve. An improved effort to win a Cork maiden over this trip last time; improvement likely.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 +20%) Young Ireland	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Young Ireland 16/1, Fairly useful colt. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 5/2, won 14-runner maiden at Cork (10.2f, soft) 23 days ago. Needs to raise his game. Won a Cork maiden on 11th start last time; has to do plenty more to score again.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 +0%) Save Your Love	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Save Your Love 9/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Won 15-runner maiden at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 6/5) 25 days ago, well on top finish. Likely improver now upped in trip but this demands a significant step forward. Showed improved form to win a Gowran maiden over 1m; needs to do more up in trip today.
6th	3 6th (3) (5.5/1 +0%) Mister Mister	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(3) Mister Mister 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Hooded for 1st time, very good 3¼ lengths third of 6 to Paddington in listed race at this course (8f, soft, 10/1) 27 days ago, running on. Up in trip and should make his presence felt. Gowran maiden winner last year; was 1.75l behind Drumroll on return in a Listed race here.
6	6 \|DQ\| (6) (22/1 +45%) Teutates	22 22/1(+45%)	(6) Teutates 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Dundalk in January. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Leopardstown (12f, heavy) 21 days ago. This demands a sizeable step forward. AW winner ran a fine race in a Leopardstown handicap last time but needs a lot more today.

LTO Selection:

DRUMROLL chased home the talented Paddington in the Tetrarch Stakes over a mile here at the beginning of the month and it would be no surprise to see the son of Deep Impact go one better now upped in trip. Mister Mister was third on that occasion and is another who should relish the extra couple of furlongs here, while Pivotal Trigger and the unexposed Save Your Love are the pick of the remainder.

This step up in trip should spark improvement in DRUMROLL, who kept on well when chasing home potentially smart stablemate Paddington over a mile here at the beginning of the month. He is taken to enhance Aidan O'Brien's teriffic record in this race. Pivotal Trigger found Group 1 company too much on his final 2-y-o start and is strongly respected back at this level, while Mister Mister, who was a place adrift of Drumroll in the Tetrarch, should also make his presence felt.

Though MISTER MISTER was just behind Drumroll in the Tetrarch Stakes here last time, he can reverse the form today.

2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +14%) Midnight Ginger	3 3/1(+14%)	(3) Midnight Ginger 3/1, Likeable mare who added to her tally in 2m Newbury handicap on New Year's Eve. Not at her best in 3 starts since, but the handicapper has cut her some slack and she could be ready to strike on the back of a recent run. She was keeping on when fourth over 2m5f at Warwick a fortnight ago; should be involved.
3	2 3rd (2) (5.5/1 +45%) Fat Sam	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(2) Fat Sam 5.5/1, Winner of a Ffos Las novice in this sphere and a Newton Abbot handicap chase last summer. However, temperament issues surfaced in the autumn and he may have needed the run after 7 months off when mid-field at Warwick (19f, good to soft) last month. Cheekpieces back on. Only sixth on his return to this code a month ago (2m3f, good) and needed to show more.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 +14%) American Gerry	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) American Gerry 6/1, Successful twice during first half of 2022 and having been lightly raced since, ran right up to best when fourth at Fontwell last month. Appeared to be spooked when unseating his rider at the start back there 10 days ago and the headgear goes back on. Has not been at his best for a while but he's on a dangerous mark.
5th	1 5th (1) (7.5/1 -173%) Kerosine Light	7.5 7.5/1(-173%)	(1) Kerosine Light 7.5/1, Quickly on the up over hurdles for this yard last year, winning 3 times (also first past the post but disqualified). Finished lame when scoring at Cartmel (17.2f, good) back in August and he's one to consider from just 2 lb higher provided he's ready to roll. Competitive in all five runs once joining this yard last year; remains on a fair mark.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (8.5/1 +15%) Caldwell	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(5) Caldwell 8.5/1, Not seen over hurdles since October 2021 but did at least shape as if retaining all his ability after 9 months off when fifth at Nottingham (16f, heavy) a couple of months ago. Worth considering with that under his belt. First hurdle run since 2021 but was a useful juvenile; competitive Flat form last year.

LTO Selection:

Park Hill Dancer got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon last time and he now tries his luck in a handicap for the first time. However, he could come out second best to KEROSINE LIGHT, who kept on strongly to score by just under a length last time in a class 3 event over 2m1f at Cartmel and he can defy a 2lb rise with the step back up in distance in his favour. Fat Sam makes the most appeal of the remainder.

Cases can be made for most, but a chance is taken on MIDNIGHT GINGER, who hasn't been at her best since scoring at Newbury on New Year's Eve but the handicapper has reacted accordingly. Kerosine Light was prolific last year and Donald McCain's charge rates as a serious player provided he's fully tuned up, while Caldwell and Park Hill Dancer can fight out third spot.

Michael Scudamore's CALDWELL is interesting on his belated return to hurdling. Last summer's Flat profile was very solid.

3	3 \|U\| (3) (3/1 +57%) Bilboa River	3 3/1(+57%)	(3) Bilboa River 3/1, Went with no encouragement on previous attempt in this sphere and finished well held on latest start over the smaller obstacles at Perth (23.9f, good) 11 days ago. Improvement required. Worth another crack at chasing, having shown bits of promise in Irish points.

LTO Selection:

With just the three runners heading to post, a chance can be taken with DIVAS DOYEN, who arrives following a disappointing run over 2m4f at Newcastle in March. She was only narrowly denied at Musselburgh on her penultimate outing and can bounce back. Rockonsoph seeks to build on her chasing bow earlier this month and rates the biggest danger. Bilboa River completes the line-up.

This stiffer test of stamina should suit ROCKONSOPH and she is preferred to Divas Doyen in a race which may not take a great deal of winning.

The most appealing contender in this weak race is ROCKONSOPH, ahead of Divas Doyen.

However, he left the impression he was still learning when fifth at Market Rasen since and now goes significantly up in trip. Maiden; found 2m too short latest and better can be expected at this trip.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (16/1 +27%) Penna Rossa	16 16/1(+27%)	(2) Penna Rossa 16/1, Off the mark in Sandown juvenile in December but has offered little subsequently, tailed-off ninth at this track (17.7f, good to firm) juts over 5 weeks ago. Needs this step up in trip to spark a revival. Sandown winner last December but not in same form since; up in trip.

LTO Selection:

HAPPY INDEX shed her maiden tag at Ludlow earlier in the month and a 4lb rise for that success could prove on the lenient side. Coconut Twist has posted a brace of runner-up efforts in recent weeks and should be on the premises once more. Happy Company found only a subsequent winner too strong in a seller at Exeter last month and is expected to remain competitive.

HAPPY INDEX wasn't fully extended to open her account at Ludlow a fortnight ago and, with Paul Webber's mare potentially still having a fair bit more improvement in her, she gets the nod to follow up. Happy Company is back down to his last winning mark, so he heads up the possible dangers, with the in-form Coconut Twist rounding off the shortlist.

A competitive race can go to ONE MAN PARTY back up to a more suitable trip.

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (7/1 +13%) High Chieftess	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) High Chieftess 7/1, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 13 in maiden (5/1) at Leopardstown (7f, soft). Off 7 months, significantly up in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Open to improvement but Ryan Moore prefers All Time Great. Blinkers tried for return but seems to be stable's second-string on riding arrangements.
2	4 2nd (4) (3.33/1 +70%) Esquiline	3.33 3.33/1(+70%)	(4) Esquiline 3.33/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, eighth of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, soft) on debut. Off 7 months. Up in trip. Just behind today's rival Star Galaxy on debut at Leopardstown last year; can run well.
3	11 3rd (11) (1.1/1 +27%) Star Galaxy	1.1 1.1/1(+27%)	(11) Star Galaxy 1.1/1, Promising type. Fourth of 10 in maiden (9/2) at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 53 days ago. Yard in good form. Hood on 1st time. Obvious claims. Beaten just over 5l by Oaks favourite Savethelastdance on return; is a major player.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 -20%) Eziva	4 4/1(-20%)	(5) Eziva 4/1, Medaglia D'oro filly. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner), won Ballyroan and Blandford Stakes. Lots to like on paper. By a top-class US-based sire and from a fine family; of interest so check the market.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 +18%) Report	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Report 33/1, Once-raced filly. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip and big step forward needed. Beaten 16l on Dundalk debut last autumn and needs to improve enormously.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 +30%) Fairytale Princess	28 28/1(+30%)	(6) Fairytale Princess 28/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, heavy, 9/1) on debut 21 days ago, not knocked about. Beaten 19l on debut at Leopardstown; perhaps will improve plenty on this faster surface.
7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 +24%) Kirkuila	50 50/1(+24%)	(9) Kirkuila 50/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 66/1) on debut, missing break. Off 170 days. Significantly up in trip. Ran green on debut at Dundalk last winter; entitled to have improved from that.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 +18%) Ameerat Jumaira	33 33/1(+18%)	(2) Ameerat Jumaira 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/3, sixth of 10 in maiden at Dundalk (8f). Off 167 days. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving M. Halford. Improvement needed. Not devoid of ability in two AW starts last winter; has to improve on return/turf debut.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 +50%) Elsa's Pride	25 25/1(+50%)	(3) Elsa's Pride 25/1, Roaring Lion filly. Dam, useful 9.5f/1½m winner, half-sister to useful 11f-2m winner Sleeping Lion (by Teofilo). One to note in the betting. By a deceased sire who is doing well with his first crop and could run well.

LTO Selection:

Most of these have potential to improve now they are faced with a sterner test of stamina and the likes of Star Galaxy, Esquiline and High Chieftess are all in capable hands as they set out on the next phase of their development. However, the one that appeals most on pedigree is EZIVA, whose dam won the Group 2 Blandford Stakes for this yard here in 2018. It's noteworthy that the daughter of Medaglia d'Oro is pitched straight in at this sort of trip and a big run is expected from the Aga Khan-owned filly on debut.

It will look significant if the market speaks in favour of newcomer EZIVA, who looks the part on paper and an entry in the Irish Oaks suggests that she is held in high regard. Star Galaxy shaped with promise on her sole 2-y-o start and again when fourth of 10 in the Leopardstown maiden won by the potentially high-class Savethelastdance last month. She is the clear main danger ahead of Ballydoyle duo All Time Great and High Chieftess.

Her run last time when fourth to Savethelastdance at Leopardstown makes STAR GALAXY the standout on form.

6	6 \|PU\| (6) (33/1 +18%) Out For The Count	33 33/1(+18%)	(6) Out For The Count 33/1, Soundly beaten in 2 Irish bumpers for Philip Fenton and yet to make an impact for current yard. Cheekpieces applied for first time.

LTO Selection:

ELFRIDE powered clear of his rivals to record a comfortable success over C&D 22 days ago and, raised just 5lb in the handicap, Richard Phillips' mare might be the answer once again. He Is A Cracker almost defied a 448-day absence when narrowly denied at Warwick earlier this month and he must hold every chance if able to back that effort up, while it would be no surprise were Tzunami to make waves now pitched into handicap company.

Preference is for TZUNAMI, who has acquitted himself well at Fontwell the last twice and should appreciate the step up in trip on handicap debut. He Is A Cracker and Elfride look the likeliest dangers.

Elfride is respected but HE IS A CRACKER ran a big race in defeat at Warwick at the start of this month and might be the answer.

Merits respect. Shaped well at Cheltenham last time; should be suited by this sharper 3m2f; interesting.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 -18%) Shanroe Street	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(3) Shanroe Street 6.5/1, Fair chaser who produced his best effort for a while when landing a 4-runner 11 days ago. This requires a bit more but he's hard to dismiss. Got up on the line at Perth 11 days ago; comfortably held in this race last year.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (14/1 +50%) Cooking Fat	14 14/1(+50%)	(4) Cooking Fat 14/1, Multiple point winner but returned to Rules with a poor effort at Musselburgh. Unseated at Hexham since and others make more appeal. His point/rules form this year is far from compelling; the least likely winner.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (2/1 +11%) Hermann Clermont	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Hermann Clermont 2/1, Fairly useful chaser (for Gordon Elliott) who was far from disgraced second in a hunter here recently. Clear form pick who should take the beating. Second over 2m5f here this month; going back up in trip looks a plus; worthy of respect.

LTO Selection:

HERMANN CLERMONT was no match for the 129-rated Time Leader here, but faces nothing of that calibre this time and is taken to boost his profile with a third career success. He's still relatively lightly raced in this discipline and should have few issues with the rise to 3m2f. Shanroe Street won a steadily-run race at Perth and is taken seriously now turned out quickly, while Slievegar is dangerous to underestimate too.

HERMANN CLERMONT is likely to build on his recent second at this course, so he takes preference over Steely Addition, who is anticipated to reverse the form with his Perth conqueror Shanroe Street.

Preference is for HERMANN CLERMONT, who looks open to progress in this sphere. Slievegar is second choice.

Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 16/1, last of 7 in minor event at Killarney (14.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Makes handicap debut.

Poor on last Flat run. Disappointing over hurdles lately; poor on AW last Flat start and has to get back to best.

LTO Selection:

A typically wide-open handicap to round out proceedings on a fantastic weekend of action, and marginal preference is for STAR KISSED. The Sea The Stars filly struck in a maiden at Bellewstown last month and has been allocated an opening mark of 79 which, judged on her pedigree alone, could prove extremely lenient. The Very Man looks well treated based on his NH form and must be seriously considered, along with Newfoundland, for all that he needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Tipperary. Others to note include Mellow Magic, Black Hawk Eagle and Mr Rango.

STAR KISSED appears to have been handed a fair mark for this handicap bow and she gets the nod. Conditions were testing when she opened her account in a Bellewstown maiden on return last month but it was on good ground that this Sea The Stars filly went close on debut at Cork last summer, so the surface here shouldn't be an issue. Newfoundland is entitled to come on for his Tipperary reappearance spin and is feared most. The Very Man, a good second over hurdles last time, also has claims.

With further improvement likely after just three starts, STAR KISSED is taken to win on handicap debut despite a wider than ideal draw

Looks set for another productive summer. Only 3l away at Ludlow when entitled to need the run and should enjoy this quicker ground.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 -38%) Cabrakan	9 9/1(-38%)	(5) Cabrakan 9/1, Won on second hurdles start at Newcastle in November before taking advantage of a lenient opening handicap mark at Hereford in February, Underwhelming there on subsequent outing, though, and ran no sort of race on Flat last time, so has bit to prove on hurdles return. Not too badly handicapped if returning to the form of his Hereford success in February.
3	4 3rd (4) (1.38/1 +37%) Sarsons Risk	1.38 1.38/1(+37%)	(4) Sarsons Risk 1.38/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Ian Williams made an impressive hurdling bow for his new yard at Doncaster. In contention when falling 3 out in the Adonis but was out of his depth in a Grade 1 at Aintree on last hurdles outing. Since finished down the field on the Flat but opening mark looks workable. Impressed on hurdling debut and highly tried afterwards; this mark might be okay.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -175%) Eagle's Realm	11 11/1(-175%)	(2) Eagle's Realm 11/1, Dual winner at Stratford last summer before having his winning run ended in better company at Market Rasen. MId-field on Flat both starts since, albeit needing stronger gallop last time, and others make slightly more appeal. Only sixth at Market Rasen on final hurdle run and looks on a tough mark now.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (7/1 +0%) Spirit Of Regulus	7 7/1(+0%)	(3) Spirit Of Regulus 7/1, Winner at Sedgefield on hurdles debut in October and ran at least as well in defeat when second in 4-runner novice at Doncaster in February. Looked better for run after a wind-op at Bangor last time and now has tongue strap/cheekpieces applied. Tongue-tie/cheekpieces are now fitted and they need to bring something.

LTO Selection:

SARSONS RISK has faced a couple of stiff assignments on his last two starts, the latest of which came in a Grade 1 at Aintree, but he could regain the winning thread in this less-taxing affair. Eagle's Realm enters calculations following a recent spin on the Flat, along with Galata Bridge, who should take a step forward from his recent Ludlow reappearance.

GALATA BRIDGE made a wholly encouraging return to action at Ludlow last time and, with his yard still going well, is fancied to step forward with that recent run under his belt. Sarsons Risk was impressive on his hurdles debut and he could prove ahead of his opening mark if getting back to that sort of form, whilst Spirit of Regulus is also respected on his second handicap start.

A tight handicap. SARSONS RISK will find this appreciably easier than his last two tasks over hurdles.

Half-sister to numerous winners on Flat, including useful 11f-13f winner Ravenscraig Castle. Dam 1m-9.5f winner. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Potential in her pedigree and interesting to see how she goes in the betting on debut.

LTO Selection:

Unless the Flat-bred Snow Shepherdess is well above average, this ought to be pretty straightforward for HARD AS NAILS, who reaped the benefit of two starts last year when she comfortably accounted for her rivals in a conditionals' race at Ludlow. Unsurprisingly, Jack Hogan keeps the ride and she should be able to dictate terms to suit herself. Only a huge improvement from Mrs Fox would suffice for her to get serious at the business end.

HARD AS NAILS found improvement when scoring at Ludlow earlier this month and this looks a good opportunity for her to follow up. Bumper-debutant Snow Shepherdess gets the nod for the forecast.

The Fergal O'Brien-trained HARD AS NAILS won at Ludlow three weeks ago and is taken to defy a penalty and follow up.

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.
