13:30 Chester (Class 2) 10f - 11 Run Speed Edge Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (10/11 +60%) Respond	0.909091 10/11(+60%)	(6) Respond 10/11, Improved up in trip off new mark, good attitude to rally for third at Kempton last time; top jockey back on board; effective at 10-12f, acts on sound surface; drop in trip not sure to suit but a forward ride from stall 2 will help. Both wins over 1m2f on turf/AW; may settle better in this big field; remains unexposed.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 -60%) Whip Cracker	8 8/1(-60%)	(7) Whip Cracker 8/1, Back to best beaten a length off a 1lb lower mark at Newbury last time; top course jockey; effective 8-10f, acts on heavy and good; worth this step up in trip but stall 12 a negative. No win since second start as a 2yo, but several good efforts since; drawn wider than ideal.
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 -50%) Janey Mackers	33 33/1(-50%)	(8) Janey Mackers 33/1, Raced wide throughout when down the field most recent; suited by 10f, acts well with cut; bigger effort in her yet but draw not helped on return. Still unexposed, but she may need this after six months off and is drawn wide.
4	3 4th (3) (10/3 +39%) El Burhan	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(3) El Burhan 10/3, Ran to form up in trip, should have finished closer beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective 7-11f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; capable of further progress and won at this meeting 12 months ago. Has a fine strike-rate on turf (4-8); open to improvement and rain wouldn't be a problem.
5th	13 5th (13) (14/1 +30%) Triple Double A	14 14/1(+30%)	(13) Triple Double A 14/1, Perhaps made too much use of when seventh beaten 4 1/4l off 82 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and a sound surface; could bounce back here from a good draw. Twice held since making a successful return at Newcastle in February; wouldn't want rain.
6th	12 6th (12) (66/1 -136%) Callianassa	66 66/1(-136%)	(12) Callianassa 66/1, Below form back on turf beaten 4l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; back on last win mark. Back off last winning AW mark, but is 0-10 on turf and has never attempted this far before.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +0%) Bragbor	14 14/1(+0%)	(9) Bragbor 14/1, Ran to form, just needed run on return beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; effective 8-12f, suited by AW; consistent and has landed a good draw. Makes turf debut in a competitive race; stall 1 has taken three of the last eight runnings.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 +25%) Auld Toon Loon	12 12/1(+25%)	(4) Auld Toon Loon 12/1, Back to best landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Windsor last time; returning from long layoff; effective 10-12f on soft and good; respected on return but draw hasn't been kind. Looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race a year ago, but stall 14 isn't ideal.
9th	2 9th (2) (12/1 +0%) Great David	12 12/1(+0%)	(2) Great David 12/1, Very poor effort when comfortably held in Winter Hill Stakes (Group 3) last time; returning from long layoff; suited by 10f, acts on any; little bit to prove now. Proven fresh, but hard to know how well treated he is for this return to handicap company.
10th	14 10th (14) (80/1 -142%) Echalar	80 80/1(-142%)	(14) Echalar 80/1, Bit keen and didn't get home up in trip beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective at 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; needs more off this mark. Has plenty to prove over this trip back on grass and is 3lb out of the weights.
11th	10 11th (10) (50/1 -25%) Bravais	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Bravais 50/1, Again well below form down in trip down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on yielding; mark continues to fall but needs more. Beaten just one rival in four starts on AW since joining yard; non-runner here yesterday.

Only one of the last eight winners of this has come out of a stall higher than the six box, which suggests that RESPOND has every chance. Successful at Chelmsford in March and third at Kempton over further since, Andrew Balding's gelding could be tough to peg back. Great David should appreciate the return to handicap company after being found wanting in Listed and Group 3 races last year, although a mark of 102 seems high enough. El Burhan might hit a place from a fractionally higher draw.

The vote goes to EL BURHAN who is 4-8 on turf and who was unfortunate not to go closer in the Rosebery on his return.

Won 7f AW maiden on final 2yo start; staying-on 3rd in 6f Newmarket handicap latest.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +0%) May Angel	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) May Angel 4/1, Returned to form down in class back from break after wind op beaten 3l off this mark at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, quite speedily-bred, may not want ground too firm; mark gives a chance and not fully exposed. Won 7f AW novice as 2yo; good 3rd in well-contested 7f Newbury handicap on return; solid.
4	7 4th (7) (66/1 -164%) Aqua Bear	66 66/1(-164%)	(7) Aqua Bear 66/1, Built on previous runs, short in the market for this when winning a maiden at Newcastle by 1 1/4l last time; effective 6f, may yet get 7f, acts on yielding, good, AW; in form and should be competitive. Winning yard debut on AW (7f) in November; non-runner in 3.40 at Chester yesterday.
5th	9 5th (9) (12/1 -20%) Goldwork	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) Goldwork 12/1, Ran to form back from break beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time; suited by 6f, not proven 7f, acts on good and fast ground; game and should come on for latest. Won 6f novice at Goodwood last May; promising return on AW; stamina to prove at 7f.
6th	3 6th (3) (66/1 -313%) Synners Kid	66 66/1(-313%)	(3) Synners Kid 66/1, Continues winning ways at this level, clearly very well handicapped at present landing a handicap by 5l off a 17lb lower mark at Bellewstown last time; usually held up; effective 7-8f; more to come at 1m but needs it off revised mark. Won both 1m handicaps for J O'Brien in the autumn; sold 110,000gns since; conditions query.

All 3 wins at 7f, on turf/AW; recent Newbury defeat suggests another uphill battle awaits.
8th	8 8th (8) (25/1 -56%) Ay Up Duck	25 25/1(-56%)	(8) Ay Up Duck 25/1, Ran to form when winning a novice at Southwell by 1 1/2l last time; effective 7f, acts on AW; useful and open to improvement now handicapping.

9th	6 9th (6) (8/1 -14%) Queen Tamara	8 8/1(-14%)	(6) Queen Tamara 8/1, Had every chance, might have won if breaking on terms beaten a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Newmarket last time; effective 6-7f, acts on soft and good to firm; progressive but may just need this.

10th	4 10th (4) (14/1 -56%) Angel Of Anfield	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Angel Of Anfield 14/1, Ran to form despite pulling too hard throughout beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; suited by 6f, acts on good and fast ground; very reliable. All races at sprint trips, making all at Windsor in August; good AW run after; off since.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

William Haggas has won three of the last seven runnings of this race and has every chance of another here with ALBAYDAA, who won over this trip at Wolverhampton last year. She made her handicap debut off this mark at Newmarket over 6f where she ran on into third and should be far better suited by the extra furlong. Colori Forever could go well if he gets a fast pace to aim at, followed by the interesting Queen Tamara.

This can go to MAY ANGEL who has a pull in the weights with Colori Forever on Newbury form. Albaydaa is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/4 +0%) Galiyan	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(2) Galiyan 9/4, Too green on debut, still showed some promise when 7l fourth in a novice at Newmarket; effective at 10f on good; should improve now upped in trip. Green 4th at Newmarket three weeks ago but still good enough to enter serious calculations.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/11 +24%) Joulany	0.909091 10/11(+24%)	(4) Joulany 10/11, Ran to form albeit didn't quite get home upped in trip and tried in a hood 1/2l third in a novice at Newbury most recent run; effective 7/8f, didn't quite see out 10f, acts on sound surface; more to come but stamina to prove. Top on ratings and likely to have come on from his reappearance third at Newbury.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +20%) Glory Of The Seas	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Glory Of The Seas 4/1, Improved a little on debut, albeit didn't get home up in trip when fourth beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden at Newbury latest; effective 8-11f on good and AW; could do better yet but needs to see race out better. Fourth in strong 1m3f Newbury maiden three weeks ago; major contender, type to improve.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -56%) Eben Al Khawaneej	28 28/1(-56%)	(1) Eben Al Khawaneej 28/1, Yard won this last year; some promise on debut albeit well beaten in a maiden at Newbury only start; pedigree a blend of speed and stamina; improvement likely. Backward and green on Newbury debut, 4l behind Glory Of The Seas; needs a second look.
5th	5 5th (5) (20/1 +9%) Take A Chill Pill	20 20/1(+9%)	(5) Take A Chill Pill 20/1, Some promise on debut beaten 10l in a maiden at Newmarket on debut; effective at 8f; longer trip here could bring about improvement. 18-1, just under 10l fifth in newcomers race at Newmarket three weeks ago; may do better.
6th	7 6th (7) (100/1 -400%) Morningtoncrescent	100 100/1(-400%)	(7) Morningtoncrescent 100/1, Improved albeit comfortably held in a maiden at Newbury last time; trainer in form; effective 10f; should do better now upped in trip again. 150-1 and on toes when sixth at Newbury three weeks ago; this race looks too tough.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -150%) Distorted Truth	100 100/1(-150%)	(6) Distorted Truth 100/1, Disappointed badly, possibly made too much use of when comfortably held in a novice at Southwell last time; off a short-break; stays 11f, acts on AW; could bounce back now racing on turf. 2nd at Kempton in January but remote last of six at Southwell (also 1m3f, AW) in February.

Glory Of The Seas could prove popular in the Godolphin blue for Roger Varian, but he needs to take a step forward after a seven-and-a-half-length fourth at Newbury. GALIYAN showed his inexperience on debut at Newmarket when ducking at the start and running green before finishing fourth, but it will be a huge surprise if he doesn't learn plenty from that experience. Joulany is getting better with racing and cannot be discounted, while Distorted Truth needs forgiving her last run to figure.

Joulany heads the ratings after his bold show at Newbury but GLORY OF THE SEAS showed plenty of promise at the same meeting.

Useful Flat racer who had excuse (breathing issue) for underwhelming hurdle debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (12/1 -9%) Calibos	12 12/1(-9%)	(6) Calibos 12/1, Bit to free but ran well for a long way on hurdle debut when fourth beaten 21l in a 4yo hurdle at Huntingdon latest; off a short-break; very in and out of late on flat, stamina to prove.

7th	4 7th (4) (300/1 -140%) Kenobi	300 300/1(-140%)	(4) Kenobi 300/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Ludlow latest; yet to beat a rival home over hurdles; all to prove. Pulled up at triple-digit odds on both hurdling starts.

Fidendum ran out when in the lead at Hereford but had shown more than enough previously to suggest he'll be winning sooner rather than later over timber. Even so, preference is for EDELAK. Dan Skelton's charge was pitched into Listed company on his hurdling bow back in December and although he came up well short on that occasion, the Almanzor gelding can do much better in these calmer waters. Popalot is next best.

Useful Flat racer EDELAK had a breathing issue when making a low-key stable/hurdle debut and can be given another chance.

Resemblance is one to watch in the early markets, but experience is a bonus and BINT ARCHANGE gets the vote with the booking of William Buick to ride an eye-catching one by trainer Richard Hughes. Third after weakening close home on her debut at Newmarket, she could improve significantly here. Half A Hoof and Wondervision are other newcomers to note in a wide-open contest.

Bint Archange sets a solid standard but it's worth giving MISS MONEYPIT a chance to show what she can do following a luckless debut.

Dual Derby winner; this looks a good starting point for his 4yo career; cheekpieces on.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -64%) Bay City Roller	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(1) Bay City Roller 9/2, Career best on first attempt at top level, albeit flattered by wide margin of success when winning Preis von Bayern (Group 1) at Munich by 7l last time; effective 10-12f now, best with cut; German Group 1s can be weak and penalty might leave him vulnerable. Has a 5lb penalty to carry, but he goes well fresh and shouldn't be underestimated.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +27%) Ice Max	16 16/1(+27%)	(3) Ice Max 16/1, Bit below form down in trip on deep ground beaten 5l in Kalkmann-Fruhjahrs-Meile (Group 3) at Dusseldorf last time; suited by 8f, acts well on an easy surface, also good, goes well Goodwood; step back up in trip a plus but bit to find. Fifth in Dusseldorf Group 3 on his return; races beyond an extended 1m for the first time.
4	9 4th (9) (28/1 +30%) Sparks Fly	28 28/1(+30%)	(9) Sparks Fly 28/1, Well below form on return when down the field in a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud most recent; best at 8f with cut; prolific at Listed level but needs soft ground and has stamina/class to prove here. 12-21 on turf but will need to improve plenty on her reappearance effort in March.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/1 -57%) Royal Rhyme	11 11/1(-57%)	(6) Royal Rhyme 11/1, Bit keen, below form on return beaten 6 1/4l in Alleged Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh last time; effective at 10f on soft and good to firm; should come on for return. Pulled too hard on his reappearance but that should have taken the freshness out of him.
6th	7 6th (7) (13/2 +13%) Starford	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(7) Starford 13/2, Improved upped in grade, strong at finish when winning Alleged Stakes (Group 3) at the Curragh by 3/4l last time; effective at 10-12f, suited by plenty of cut; more to come but this task asks more. Won a Group 3 at the Curragh last month; capable of better, but could do with some rain.
7th	2 7th (2) (25/1 +0%) High Stock	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) High Stock 25/1, Yard won this last year; might not have stayed the trip when fourth beaten 16l in Floodlit Stakes (Listed) at Kempton latest; effective 10f, acts on good; much more needed. Beaten a neck in last year's Dee Stakes but has a bit to find with the majority of these.

Last year's Derby winner LAMBOURN looks poised to make a winning return to action back at the site of his Chester Vase victory. After a couple of below-par runs at the end of the season, the application of cheekpieces here can sharpen the colt up. George Scott's Bay City Roller rounded out his season with Group 1 success in Germany and may be the most likely challenger to the Derby winner. King's Gambit was no match for the winner when second in the Sefton Stakes last month but may be better for the run. Curragh Group 3 winner Starford arrives here having made a solid start to his season but will have to overcome the widest draw from stall nine, while Royal Rhyme may appreciate a softer surface than this.

This revolves around last season's Derby and Irish Derby winner LAMBOURN who bids to get his career back on track.

CHARACTER TESTING has struggled in two Flat runs of late but he was only beaten a head into second over C&D in January. This isn't the deepest of contests so although he's yet to strike over timber, Mark Walford's charge probably wouldn't need to find much further improvement. Lord Of The Glance has improved tenfold since going handicapping in January and was in with every chance when unseating two from home at Plumpton. He's the obvious threat, but it's too early to be writing Beorma off.

Back over the C&D of his career-best hurdles effort, CHARACTER TESTING is narrowly preferred to Lord Of The Glance.

With the Gosden fillies in good form, a better showing is expected from Light Of Paris on her second start, although she was beaten over 12 lengths over a furlong further at Kempton and needs to find more. GONE BY went into many a notebook after running on into second after a slow start over a mile at Newbury and appears likely to benefit from the extra couple of furlongs. Tarrant and newcomer Cool Girl are others for the shortlist.

Tarrant is not passed over lightly but GONE BY did well against a smart stablemate at Newbury in the autumn and gets the vote.

Joseph O'Brien boasts a strong hand here with GALILEO DAME the most appealing of the lot. The mare comes here in good form off the back of a second-placed effort at Navan and boasts proven stamina from her success over hurdles. This race can often go to a dual-purpose performer and the booking of Ryan Moore certainly catches the eye. O'Brien also saddles the lightly-raced A Piece Of Heaven and Irish Cesarewitch/Cheltenham Festival winner Puturhandstogether, who won't mind the big field but has been handed the widest draw of all in stall 17. Blindedbythelights is a consistent type but has been unable to get his head in front since June 2023 and finds himself 22lb higher than that now. The hat-trick seeking Team Player has won both his starts since joining Ewan Whillans and the four-year-old could have more improvement left in him.

Plausible candidates abound but MOON OVER MIAMI (nap) receives the vote ahead of Peaky Blinder and Blindedbythelights.

CLOUDY WEDNESDAY has let favourite-backers down the last twice, but Caroline Fryer's veteran has solid form over C&D and can reward those that keep the faith. Jasmin De Cotte won at Uttoxeter in March and is entitled to plenty of respected now dropped in grade, whilst El Muchacho, who supplemented a Sedgefield third with a runner-up effort at Newcastle, is also likely to be on the premises.

Last time's Sedgefield third suggests ISLE OF SARK's turn may be nearing again, and he's taken over El Muchacho.

Progressive on the all-weather, ELEMENTS OF FIRE landed hat-trick of 7f victories with last month's Wolverhampton success. This stiff 6f should should suit the front-running son of Too Darn Hot and Archie Watson's rapid improver may not have finished winning yet. Hucklesbrook made an encouraging reappearance at Newbury. He won a higher grade sprint at York last summer and has solid claims on that form, while Toyotomi looks on a tempting mark and shouldn't be underestimated.

Hucklesbrook looks solid to go well but MANDURAH had smart 2yo form over C&D and looks a handy addition to Ed Walker's string.

We all know the value of a low draw at Chester, especially in the sprints, and if HOODIE HOO starts well from the four stall, he has every chance. Second on his return at Lingfield after over five months off, nominal improvement would give him every chance off the same mark. Clonmacash heads over from Ireland after winning at Dundalk and has to be considered off 3lb higher, while Paws For Thought has won here six times and may hit a place from the less-advantageous nine stall.

This is tight but JONNY CONCRETE could improve further as a 5yo and he is preferred to The Good Biscuit.

CLASSIC KING found the Pertemps Final too much for him and he returned to fences with a solid runner-up effort at Stratford. The handicapper has left him on the same mark and the eight-year-old remains capable of further improvement in this discipline. Ira Hayes was a fortunate winner of a beginners chase at Tramore and will need to improve in what looks a tougher race on paper. With that in mind, Bumpy Evans may prove to be the biggest threat.

There may still be more improvement to come from front-runner BUMPY EVANS, who returned from a break with a decent effort last month.

Fresh from last month's double on the all-weather, Arry Up holds every chance back on the turf. Sizzling Seixas won nicely in novice company at Kempton in March and has to be of interest, but there was a lot to like about MOSCOW POWER's maiden win at Chelmsford and he makes most appeal. Mick Appleby's charge readily pulled clear of a subsequent winner to justify favouritism in fine style and the son of Sergei Prokofiev should have plenty more to offer now handicapping.

Secret Santa could be a handicap blot but the imposing ARRY UP can improve again to land the four-timer.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Gibside is only 1lb higher than when successful in this contest last year and cannot be ruled out. Third in the Chester Cup back in 2023, Call My Bluff bounced back with a convincing win at Newbury last month and the veteran could make his presence felt, but SHRIMP SHADY is less exposed than most. He's improved with every step up in distance and is taken to build on his recent second over 2m at Lingfield off what looks a workable mark. Kingstonian, Imperial Sovereign and Hamsiyann are others to note.

Stepping up in distance could prompt further progress from course winner IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU and he is preferred to Call My Bluff.

Escapologist is the sole C&D winner in the line-up, having won on his only visit in March, but he has to race off 5lb more here which makes life more difficult. Huffin An A Puffin drops in class for his second start since wind surgery. With cheekpieces added, he could surprise a few, but the nod goes to COUMEENOOLE. A winner last time out at Bangor, he seemed to appreciate the step back up to this trip and an added 9lb may not be enough to stop him doubling up.

Refreshed by a small break and still unexposed as a stayer, ESCAPOLOGIST can thwart Coumeenoole's follow-up bid.

King's Trust benefited from a gelding operation to shed the maiden tag at Southwell in October and an opening mark of 83 appears to be very fair for the Gosdens' charge. Cheekpieces go on, which may yield further improvement, but BLUE COURVOISIER is preferred, especially with a run under his belt. The son of Sea The Stars built on the promise of his juvenile efforts when runner-up in a bunched finish at Newmarket that also involved Arbaawy (fourth) and Luzon Heights (fifth). The third from that contest subsequently won at the Guineas meeting and Clive Cox's colt might confirm the form, despite being 1lb worse off with the aforementioned pair.

Second on last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket, BLUE COURVOISIER gets the vote ahead of AW maiden winner King's Trust.

Poor form in four Dundalk maidens, gelded, interesting that McDonogh rides.

DIVELMENT is in here off a nice weight. The Cotai Glory gelding has run well on his last couple of outings at Dundalk and is tried in a visor, having previously worn blinkers and cheekpieces. He's rated 69 and gets a nice chunk of weight from the top five, who aren't in to be claimed. Incredible Army was a winner at Dundalk back in February, but has been well held on two starts since. He's nicely weighted as well, particularly with a 7lb claimer on board. Personified has some solid form to her name, but has to give weight away to those who are available to claim.

He isn't one for maximum stakes, but if DIVELMENT is fit after his break, he's the one to beat. Personified looks the main danger

Alvin returned the cosy winner at Bath recently and enters calculations. However, he could have had more luck with the draw and preference is for SCHRODINGER'S CAT. Grant Tuer's sprinter posted a fine effort on his seasonal/handicap debut when runner-up at Thirsk and the son of Ardad could launch a strong challenge off his current mark. Champonie will need to be sharper from the stalls at this track if she's to remain unbeaten, although Billy Loughnane's presence is a positive.

The best handicapped runners look to be drawn wide. PROOF isn't fully exposed at 5f and he could be the answer.

DE DELI COUNTER won here last time out when staying on well to score by over three lengths and an added 5lb is unlikely to prevent Mark Walford's charge from going in again. Blue Bear had to settle for fourth behind the selection on that occasion and is probably booked for a supporting role once again. Nottodaybobo showed more promise last time and can contend if building on that effort.

The most obvious answer is DE DELI COUNTER (nap), who opened his account over C&D last month and might still more to offer.

ROC DINO has his sights lowered after finishing mid-division in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival. The Doctor Dino gelding had previously chased home the classy El Cairos at Thurles in late January and should be up to collecting a maiden of this standard. Gordon Elliott saddles two, with Speculateur looking like the obvious danger. The five-year-old is becoming a touch frustrating, though, after five placed efforts over timber. His stable companion Loch Cuan was beaten a long way when second on his hurdling debut at Navan, but could improve.

Rated 8lb higher than his likely main rival Speculateur, ROC DINO should be able to get off the mark.

NAVAL TRIBUTE had shown plenty of promise when running in bumpers, going down by a narrow margin on each occasion. James Owen's gelding arrives having improved plenty since stepping up in distance on the level, winning two of his last three starts, and the extra yardage here may see him in an even better light. Expressionless improved from his return at Doncaster to score at Leicester and he is capable of being in the mix along with Believitanducan and Calvert.

Unexposed NAVAL TRIBUTE (nap) can improve again tackling this trip for the first time.

GLAMAZON may be able to get the job done in first-time cheekpieces. She hasn't been too far away this year and was a well-backed favourite when fourth in handicap company at Limerick last time. Getting the fillies' allowance in this restricted maiden is a help and it looks like a fairly weak affair. Maxminelli weakened late on on his return in testing conditions at Navan. Slightly better ground and the application of a tongue-tie may help him. Pass The Buck wasn't disgraced when mid-division in a handicap at the Curragh on his return and could play a part in this company.

Joseph O'Brien does well here so the vote goes to PASS THE BUCK who looks worth a go at this trip on the evidence of his last run

PATAGONIA GIRL won over a shorter trip here last June and looks worth another try over this extra distance. The daughter of Australia just missed out in a fight to the line at Yarmouth on her reappearance and Jack Nicholls' allowance further helps her cause. Nightsinwhitesatin was narrowly defeated at Thirsk last month and is likely to prove competitive once again, while Siouxfonic has a bit to find with the selection but is not totally discounted returning to 1m4f.

This could be a good opportunity for well-drawn filly NIGHTSINWHITESATIN, who ran a big race in defeat on her seasonal debut.

C&D winner KALSMAN may be able to follow up on his success at Down Royal last month. Liam Lennon's charge was a good winner on his second outing of the season and a 6lb rise for that doesn't look harsh. He may be able to confirm form with the runner-up Justicialism, who has lost out in a tight finish back at the same course since and could play a big part again on the revised terms. King Gris folded tamely enough at Down Royal last month, but may improve a bit from that run and is another to consider.

There may be more to come from KALSMAN who gets the vote to confirm the form of his Down Royal win with runner-up Justicialism

RED SPELLS DANGER produced a couple of positive efforts as a youngster and has posted another two creditable runs in defeat so far this season. Tim Easterby's charge filled the runner-up spot at Southwell last time and his mark of 79 sets a decent standard, so he's likely to take all the beating if handling this undulating track. Tip Foster and Ndoto can battle it out for second.

This looks a good opportunity for RED SPELLS DANGER who sets a clear standard on his two runner-up efforts this spring.

CRACKING CLOUD shaped nicely on his debut at Gowran Park last month and may be able to step forward. The Cracksman gelding was under pressure before the straight, but picked up well in the closing stages to finish third to Purple Moon. He was only a nose behind runner-up Mano Chicago at the line and should improve past him. Johnny Murtagh's charge has been fifth in handicap company since and is tried in blinkers now, while Navinsky gets cheekpieces after a poor run on his return at the Curragh. He'd be a big player if coming back to the form of his Navan performance last September.

The unexposed CRACKING CLOUD shaped with real promise on debut at Gowran and he can turn the tables on Mano Chicago

Fine Print is worth a market watch but he needs to step up after twice finishing a well-beaten eighth at Dundalk last month, although he should improve for the rise in trip at a track where he has been successful twice. RUBELLITE is also a C&D winner and was not disgraced when fourth here last month over shorter. She could make the most of this opportunity off the same mark with a clear run. Havachoc has finished third on his last two starts and may do the same now.

Rubellite (second choice) was a bit better than the bare result last time but FINE PRINT can return to form back at this track.

9	9 \|PU\| (9) (80/1 -21%) Mirfaq	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) Mirfaq 80/1, Poor debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork only start; looks in need of more time. A 25-1 chance when down the field at Cork on debut, will need to pick up more experience.

ENDLESS TALKING can make it third-time lucky over timber after two solid runs. The Affinisea gelding was third in a decent event at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago and a similar effort may be enough to get his head in front this time. Flying Ace shaped with promise on his 'track' debut when fourth in a hot Navan bumper in March. He has jumping experience from a point-to-point run and could prove the danger. Rare Times was sent off favourite for an academy hurdle when last seen in November, after a promising debut run at Cork. She's another who has to be on the shortlist here, back on better ground.

This provides ENDLESS TALKING (nap) with a good opportunity. He ran into a spot of trouble at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago

Hood Wink forced a dead-heat to claim a first career success at Wetherby but although respected under a penalty, MASABAN gets the nod. The son of Siyouni contested a couple of decent maidens when trained in Ireland and was far from disgraced on his UK/stable debut at Doncaster a fortnight ago. He's a half-brother to two smart horses and stepped up to the mile now handicapping, he can follow suit. Dalamara heads the remainder.

The vote goes to the unexposed MASABAN, who looks interesting stepped back up to 1m on his handicap debut.

TENACIOUS didn't help herself by drifting left in the closing stages at Gowran Park the other day and may be able to strike now with cheekpieces applied. The Ten Sovereigns filly just lost out close home in a good three-way finish and there looks to be a race in her off this mark. Balance Of Trade has run a couple of solid races recently and he is a potential danger as he takes a step back up in trip. Meriden hinted at some ability on her first couple of maiden runs and could be one to note on her handicap debut.

BALANCE OF TRADE brings some solid recent form into the race and is taken to get off the mark upped in trip, with rain in his favour

LEUCOTHEA was sent off favourite on her Bath introduction and, after a slow beginning, she ran on late into second. Upped slightly in trip and with that run under her belt, a level start could help her to come home in front. Consultation is a nicely-bred daughter of Twilight Son out of a Kingman mare and is one to watch on debut, although Redcar fourth Miss Lizzy is the pick for second.

Newcomer Freedom Flame is second choice behind LEUCOTHEA, who showed plenty on her debut at Bath 11 days ago.

Not a lot of strong recent form to go on and SEA OF DOUBT, who has run well here a couple of times in the past, may prove the pick on her return to action. The Affinisea mare was runner-up in the preceding race on this card last year and was also fourth over fences here in September. She looks up to scoring off her current mark. A Snow White Park ran well over fences at Tramore, despite some errors, and could be a danger now back over the smaller obstacles. Katie's Casper, who was placed in a bumper here, is lowly rated on her handicap debut and is another to note.

An each-way vote goes to SMALL BUCKS who won on good ground last summer and shaped with mild promise at Down Royal on Monday.

Ruth Carr's BETWEENTHESTICKS comes here seeking a hat-trick having kicked off his season with victories at Wolverhampton and Pontefract, and can add to his tally following a 3lb rise. Glory Fighter also made a winning start to his turf season when staying on well to be victorious at Nottingham last month. Mark's Choice ended last season with two victories before an underwhelming return to action at Thirsk, but usually needs his first run and is 3-5 over this C&D. Vince L'Amour can be a tricky horse to predict, but could be worthy of a place if he can put his last run behind him.

Preference is for BETWEENTHESTICKS (nap), who is on a roll after two wins this spring and his yard won this in 2023 and 2025.

LOUGH LEANE has a nice low draw and may be able to make the breakthrough for Maurice Ahern. The Cityscape gelding won six in England and has been knocking on the door since joining the Mallow handler. It was a solid effort to finish fourth at Gowran Park and he remains on the same mark. Merlin The Wizard is another with obvious claims after a couple of decent runs. It looked like a more competitive event in which he was fifth at Leopardstown last time and connections claim off him now. Expound won this 12 months ago, but needs to improve on his recent showing at Limerick.

Preference is for the reappearing FLYING FORTRESS, a C&D maiden winner on this card on his seasonal debut last year

Forever Perfect is the obvious form pick after winning and finishing second over C&D on her last two starts, but she may be susceptible to an improver. CARAWAY had too much to do from the back of the field before running on into fourth over track and trip on her handicap debut and if she is ridden nearer to the early pace, she has every chance of a first success. Itsonlyrockandroll is interesting in first-time cheekpieces.

Itsonlyrockandroll was behind FOREVER PERFECT last time and Rebecca Menzies's filly is selected to double her tally.

Connections go straight into handicap company with STRUCK OIL on his chase debut and he can land a moderate looking affair. He chased home Bella Union over timber at Bellewstown and that form looks good with the winner following up at Down Royal recently. Katzoff was also runner-up over hurdles last time, behind easy winner Le Diablo at Clonmel. That was an improvement on his form in recent seasons and he remains lowly rated so could prove a danger now back over fences. Just For Yuse reverts to jumps after a spin on the Flat at Sligo. He's capable of reaching the frame in this company.

It could be worth taking a chance on chasing debutant STRUCK OIL, who was second over hurdles at Bellewstown on return.

In an open-looking handicap, MUSICAL TOUCH should be able to advance from his Southwell win with Ethan Tindall taking off a useful 5lb. Tim Easterby saddled the winner of this race last year and comes here with a good pair. C&D winner Modern Times has run well in his two starts this season, while U Sure Do was fourth over 7f on his reappearance at Thirsk last month. Wreck It Ryley was an easy winner at Leicester two starts ago and although disappointing there last time, he may not be far away if bouncing back.

Preference is for MUSICAL TOUCH who hit a personal best with his Southwell win and still looks feasibly treated back on turf.

MAJESTIC KING looks hard to oppose under a penalty after hosing up at Gowran Park on Tuesday evening. The Kingman gelding was eased up late on by Joey Sheridan after shooting clear a furlong from home and the handicapper looks sure to give him a fair hike for that performance. Jawhary gained a deserved success at Dundalk and Sam Coen takes 5lb off to offset his rise for that win. He may be the one to give the selection most to do. She's Ideal ran a big race when edged out by a neck at Sligo five days ago and is another who is respected.

WITHTEARSINMYEYES boasts the strongest form on offer. Jack Channon's filly came up against the potentially smart Botagoz when runner-up at Nottingham on debut and meets nothing of that calibre here. Silver Lake failed to threaten at Newmarket on her reappearance but warrants respect with that outing under her belt, while Bintwafaa is related to the Group 1 winners Jan Brueghel and Sovereign and is a newcomer to note.

This can go to WITHTEARSINMYEYES who split a couple of previous winners when runner-up on last month's Nottingham debut.

MY GOOD PAL looks worth another shot at this kind of trip. The Mount Nelson gelding kept on one-paced when fifth to Butty O Brien at Wexford and steps up half a mile now. He has been slipping a few pounds and should be competitive here off 86. Mastermind was recording his first win in over eight years when scoring at Down Royal last month. He renews rivalry with Hardy Diamond, who chased him home that day, and there shouldn't be much between them at the revised weights. Gordon Elliott's top-weight was well held when third at Down Royal just four days ago, when a bad mistake five out didn't help his chances.

Having run a fine race on chasing debut at Cork, COILLTE M C G got badly hampered at Thurles next time but can make amends.

GLISTENING NIGHTS made a pleasing return to action when third over C&D last month. The five-year-old has never won off a mark this high previously but that effort offered hope that he can, especially because a drop in class is likely to be of benefit. Wolverhampton scorer No Knee Never merits respect under a penalty, while veteran Poet's Dawn can't be underestimated.

Plenty have possibilities but recent Newcastle winner STAR CAST gets the vote ahead of No Knee Never and Garden Oasis.

Grade 1-winning hurdler BALLYADAM can add another feather to his cap by bagging a Flat triumph. The Fame And Glory gelding was last seen running a fine race to finish fourth in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham and still retains plenty of ability. He was third in a couple of all-weather maidens over the winter and can strike now on the level again. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Diligo looks like the potential danger. This Wootton Bassett colt shaped nicely when fourth on his debut at Gowran Park last month and is entitled to improve. Trojan Fighter has run with promise in a couple of maidens already this year and has to be on the shortlist.

Having looked clueless on his Gowran debut, DILIGO (nap) may be a different proposition over this longer trip and with headgear fitted

AUTUMN AFFAIR gave the strong impression this extra yardage would suit when scoring over 6f at Lingfield, beating a subsequent winner in the process. A 3lb rise doesn't look insurmountable and Harry Eustace's filly can go in again. C&D winner Pints In Peace has a fighting chance based on recent efforts on the all-weather, while Arctic Wind could shape well on stable debut having been gelded since last in action.

This looks a good opportunity for AUTUMN AFFAIR (nap) to follow up her Lingfield success with the extra furlong likely to suit.

It would be no surprise if CULLDOO was good enough to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The Doctor Dino filly is out of a half-sister to Precious Metal, a Listed bumper winner for Henrietta Knight. Kisuton Enki may be the pick of those with form. Gordon Elliott's mare was runner-up in a Limerick maiden hurdle last month, chasing home the 112-rated Fly Away Home. Jo's Secret has some solid placed form, including when third at Fairyhouse early last month, and has to come into calculations.

The well-bred CULLDOO wouldn't have to be a potential star to take care of these on debut and is the selection.

Bradbury would probably have finished a little closer were he not short of room at a crucial stage last time and is sure to be involved if handling the switch to turf, but it might pay to side with LADY VANGUARD. The 320,000gns purchase showed promise on her handicap bow at Yarmouth and may do better over this intermediate trip. She was eased 2lb in the handicap for that latest effort too and with Liam Wright removing a further 5lb, she could be well treated. Riddikulus is also noted.

Top of the list is the unexposed BRADBURY who looks interesting after his eye-catching fourth at Wolverhampton 11 days ago.

Bought for 5,000gns in December and two AW runs have been modest; seems best watched.

Two runs for current yard underwhelming and now tried hooded.

Tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut and likely improver upped in trip for handicap debut.
14th	14 14th (14) (8/1 +60%) Migdam	8 8/1(+60%)	(14) Migdam 8/1, Needed run, unsuited by soft ground well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; effective up to 2m on sound surface; others stronger here. Recent hurdle run should have put him straight and not one to rule out.

JUSTENZIA bumped into a nicely-handicapped rival in Matt Connor on her return at Gowran Park last month and may be able to score now. The daughter of Ghaiyyath made the winner work for his victory and a 4lb rise doesn't look harsh. Superficial got 6lb for finishing runner-up in Bellewstown last time. Similarly, he looked to meet a well-treated rival in Putapoundinthejar, with the front two pulling well clear, and the third has scored since. Satono Chevalier gained a deserved victory last time, but may be vulnerable to improvers.

Despite a wide draw, it may pay to side with SUPERFICIAL, whose narrow Bellewstown defeat has been franked since by the third home

Bad Habits scored here recently with a bit in hand, while Maury finally opened his account when successful at Lingfield, Both could have a say in the outcome once again, but it could pay to stick with FASTER BEE. Fergal O'Brien's five-year-old was winning over C&D for the second time this year when making all on his latest start and could take some pegging back if allowed his own way in front.

Seven of the ten runners are previous C&D winners including HOMME DE FER, whose consistency looks a major asset in this field.

Enter Sandman is 4lb well-in, despite carrying a penalty for last month's Lingfield success. He narrowly beat Nana's Boy George at Newcastle prior to that and that pair are closely matched. LEONIE also carries 6lb extra, but her penalty is negated by Alfie Redman's allowance. She flew home at Kempton on her handicap debut and another bold bid is anticipated from the unexposed daughter of Ubettabelieveit.

The return to 6f should suit NANA'S BOY GEORGE who is weighted to reverse last month's Newcastle running with Enter Sandman.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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