KNIGHTS AFFAIR made an instant impression when going in by a length on his jumping bow at Huntingdon and may have lots more to offer. The five-year-old makes only his second start for the Jamie Snowden stable and can follow up. Highway Hero struck between the flags last month and is an interesting contender back under Rules, while Keel Strand is another to keep an eye on.

The vote goes to KEEL STRAND who has shown promise, has a tongue-tie fitted after wind surgery and may be capable of a first win.

SIDE DEAL displayed plenty of promise when runner-up on his racecourse bow at York and the winner of that contest was second in Listed company last week. With that in mind, he could prove hard to beat with the benefit of the experience under his belt. High Approval cost 400,000 euros at a breeze-up sale last month so has to be noted on his debut. Reciprocated is another expensive purchase who merits a place on the shortlist.

The form pick is SIDE DEAL, while Silent Applause should improve. Reciprocated and High Approval are interesting newcomers.

1st (2) (9/4 -181%)Illogical Logic |
9/4(-181%) | (2) Illogical Logic 9/4, Fell in a handicap chase over 2m5f here latest when clear in front looking likely winner; well treated if turned out quickly; could make amends Looked the winner until falling over shorter here last week; big player if he stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (17/2 +66%)Backinaction |
17/2(+66%) | (1) Backinaction 17/2, Down the field in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Worcester most recent; generally out of form over hurdles and fences; returning from long layoff; not proven trip; bit to find Poor in two starts over fences and not seen since September; watch the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (10/3 +56%)Radharc Na Slaine |
10/3(+56%) | (6) Radharc Na Slaine 10/3, Did not get a clear run second beaten 8l in a handicap chase over 2m5f here latest; step up in trip a plus; each way player Would have finished behind Illogical Logic here last week but this longer trip will help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/2 +25%)Grand Sabre |
9/2(+25%) | (3) Grand Sabre 9/2, Raced freely when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off 76 over 3m at Warwick last time where needed every yard; longer trip a plus; big player in follow up attempt Went in at the second time of asking over fences and this longer trip's a plus; big shout. |

|U| (5) (8/1 +27%)Tellairsue |
8/1(+27%) | (5) Tellairsue 8/1, Fell in a handicap chase over 2m5f here latest just before race developed; in good form over hurdles with improvement likely Fell on chase debut here one week ago and he wasn't looking the likely winner at the time. |

GRAND SABRE took a sizeable step forward on his second chase start when victorious at Warwick and is just 5lb higher. Nick Gifford's charge could have more to offer and looks the one to beat again. Radharc Na Slaine filled the runner-up spot over 2m5f here last week and holds an obvious chance off the same mark. Of the remainder, Moonlight Artist makes the most appeal.

Illogical Logic should go well as he bids for compensation for last week's fall but GRAND SABRE could be the stronger stayer.

66/1(-136%) | (7) Reimagined 66/1, Sold for 38,000 guineas as a yearling; filly by top-class miler Kodi Bear; half-sister to Indalo, very useful at 7f; probably effective 5f; likely want further 38,000gns yearling; Kodi Bear half-sister to three winners. |

ZELAINA's price increased from 82,000 pounds as a yearling to 650,000 pounds at a breeze-up sale in April. The daughter of Mehmas is a half-sister to the Group 2-placed juvenile Arctician and it would be no surprise to see her play a leading role. Secret Oath is out of a mare who was a short-head second in the Albany and she cost Godolphin 550,000 euros. Novelette and Sakura Spirit are just two other noteworthy newcomers.

The most interesting contenders are ZELAINA, Secret Oath, Novelette and Sakura Spirit in that order of preference.

2nd (4) (9/1 +36%)Limerick Leader |
9/1(+36%) | (4) Limerick Leader 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f at Plumpton latest; down in trip; off a short-break; longstanding maiden over fences; risky Lost his form when last seen over fences and ran no race over hurdles at Plumpton in March. |

4th (6) (5/1 +0%)Pooroldmackley |
5/1(+0%) | (6) Pooroldmackley 5/1, Well backed when scored by 13l off 71 over 2m4f at Hereford penultimate start; third beaten 6l off 84 last time; chase winner here in spring; squeak though could probably do with some rain Won over C&D (heavy) and scored over hurdles (good) next time; chance, despite higher mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (11/4 -38%)Fever Dream |
11/4(-38%) | (2) Fever Dream 11/4, Well backed when scored by 2l off 97 over 3m at Southwell penultimate start; third beaten 5l off 103 last time where given too much to do and tough unlucky; every chance In form but his last run was over 3m5f and this sharp drop in trip is not certain to suit. |

|PU| (1) (15/2 -15%)Thank You Blue |
15/2(-15%) | (1) Thank You Blue 15/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off 109 over hurdles over 2m at Kempton in April; fourth in a claiming hurdle at Clonmel latest; yet to win over fences but well treated on best form; threat 0-6 over fences and pulled up when last seen in this sphere; has questions to answer. |

CULLIGRAN finished a long way clear of the third when occupying the runner-up berth at Ffos Las last month and goes off the same rating. That mark remains workable and John O'Shea's mare can return to winning ways. Fever Dream finished third when sent off favourite for the Norfolk National at Fakenham and he has to be respected, while Thank You Blue isn't out of it either.

Most of these have a question mark but CULLIGRAN (nap) doesn't and she can get off the mark over fences on this step up in trip.

8th (5) (28/1 -100%)Instant Bond |

MONSIEUR PATAT appeared to have plenty in hand when winning at Windsor last week and the eight-year-old could prove hard to beat once again, despite a 4lb penalty. Thunderous Love failed to fire when seeking a hat-trick at Salisbury, but should not be written off in a race of this nature. The rest all have questions to answer, but Waistcoat is the pick of them.

Monsieur Patat is respected under a penalty but TOPTIME may well be able to get his own way in front and is preferred.

PORTOBELLO GIRL relished a step up in trip when scoring over this sort of distance at Stratford. Alastair Ralph's mare won going away and a 3lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to take her to the ceiling of her ability. All Under Control finished behind the selection in second and warrants respect off an unchanged mark, although a bigger threat may emerge from Chabadatika, who found only a subsequent winner too strong here last month.

The unexposed PORTOBELLO GIRL looked like there may be more to come from her when scoring at Stratford and she is taken to follow up.

1st (4) (6/5 +60%)Soul Dance |
6/5(+60%) | (4) Soul Dance 6/5, Ideally suited by trip 14l third in a novice here most recent run at triple figure odds; steadily progressive; trainer in form; makes handicap debut; could contend Ran well over C&D in latest novice start and could well take another step forward. |

2nd (3) (10/1 +38%)Shielas Well |
10/1(+38%) | (3) Shielas Well 10/1, Below par fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Redcar latest; usually held up; on last winning mark; should do better back down in trip Two from two in Class 6 events over 1m; interesting back down in trip/grade. |

3rd (2) (5/2 -11%)Dream Illusion |

6th (6) (28/1 -100%)Sheephavenbaystory |

BINTSHUAA showed a lot more when making the frame on her handicap debut at Kempton and could have plenty of improvement in her. The daughter of Kodiac makes only her second start for the David Menuisier yard and she looks the way to go. Dream Illusion got off the mark at Wolverhampton and attempts to transfer that form to turf. Soul Dance warrants a market check on her first start in a handicap.

Handicap debutante SOUL DANCE (nap) is bred to do better still and looks interesting off her opening mark. Bintshuaa is second pick.

The hat-trick seeking American Land arrives at the top of his game and another bold bid is forecast, while Bangor winner Stream Of Stars also looks capable of better. However, they may have their work cut out to stop GET THE VALUE from landing a third consecutive victory. The seven-year-old has been a different proposition since switched to more aggressive tactics and he scored with enough in hand at this course last month to suggest that a 7lb higher mark is surmountable.

Bundles of pace on here and if the leaders overdo it that would bring CLEARANCE, who loves it here, firmly into calculations.

BOYFRIEND attempted to make every yard of the running when just going down by a head at Newbury and that might prove to be the strongest piece of form on offer. Richard Hannon's colt should have more to come and can gain his second career triumph. Thyer sported first-time cheekpieces when taking the silver medal home over C&D and has to be respected, despite being 2lb higher. Madame De Sevigne looks best of the rest.

Lightly raced THYER was a good second over C&D last month and is taken to go one better. Boyfriend is feared most.

SERAPHIC has been consistent under both codes of late, most recently when finishing second on the level at Chepstow. A few of these arrive with something to prove so running to form might suffice. Colonel Lesley often performs well around here and he must enter calculations, along with Liberty Looming, who might be able to find improvement now sent handicapping.

The suggestion is COLONEL LESLEY, who goes well both here and when fresh and is taken to make the most of a competitive mark.

Aidan O'Brien sends out a trio of newcomers and riding arrangements suggest AMADEUS MOZART is preferred. The son of Wootton Bassett is out of a Galileo mare and from the family of Group 1 winners Garswood and Veracious. Flanker Jet and Nod Of Approval, a half-brother to three winners, are others to note in the market on debut. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Maximum Scepticism probably sets the standard of those with previous experience.

Aidan O'Brien saddles three, Ryan Moore's mount AMADEUS MOZART gets the vote to become the stable's tenth juvenile winner of the season

22/1(-340%) | (1) Padesha 22/1, Ran to form 2l third in a maiden over 12f at Southwell most recent run; down in trip; yet to build on impressive novice form here last May; threat In the frame in three of four starts, latest over 1m4f on AW; should be on the premises. |

Runner-up on each of his three starts as a two-year-old, RIDE THE THUNDER looks just the type to improve for going up in distance and he can break the maiden on his comeback. Placed over further when last seen at Southwell in November, Padesha is of interest on his return, while newcomer Mukhtalif must be monitored for market support as a well-bred son of Sea The Stars.

This may prove a successful reappearance for RIDE THE THUNDER, who's the form pick, but serious rivals include Eternal Force.

Alba Crus showed clear promise when fifth at Uttoxeter and should put that experience to good use, but USYK could land the knockout blow. The son of Vadamos, who represents a yard that often does well in this type of contest, is a half-brother to bumper winner Raven Rule so it would come as no great surprise were he up the task on debut. Diegos Icon is also noted.

It's difficult to get away from ALBA CRUS, who's the only one of these with experience and went through his debut at Uttoxeter nicely.

11th (4) (200/1 -203%)Glowgetter |

EVENING BLUES made a pleasing debut when finishing well here over 5f and was unlucky to come up against the highly-regarded Albert Einstein over this trip at Naas. He pulled 12 lengths clear of the third and the son of Blue Point can open his account at the third attempt. Riding arrangements suggest Flushing Meadows is the pick of Aidan O'Brien's three newcomers, and the Wootton Bassett colt is out of a Galileo mare who has already produced two juvenile winners. North Coast and Sky Watch are both by exciting first-season sire Starman, while Suspicious Mindz cost 170,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to Norfolk Stakes winner The Ridler.

Second to the highly regarded Albert Einstein at Naas, EVENING BLUES can put his experience to good use against Flushing Meadows

Back to form with a comfortable success at Beverley in what was only his third go at this sort of distance, DAWN OF LIBERATION is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming off 4lb higher. Beach Point has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his second over C&D in April, while Milteye has the potential to improve for going up in trip as he makes his third start for the Harriet Bethell team.

Recent winner Dawn Of Liberation had endured a long losing sequence and EEETEE (nap) is selected to end his.

STELLA ALPINA has shown good pace on all three starts and may have been found a good opportunity to gain a winning bracket. She probably found the combination of 7f and heavy ground too much on her reappearance at Gowran before being denied by the narrowest of margins by the odds-on No Alibi at Cork. Cold Hearted is an obvious threat having filled the runner-up spot at Naas last autumn and again behind Bonus Time here last month. Marlborough Place is by Showcasing out of an unraced Shamardal mare and cost 160,000 euros at the breeze-ups last year, while Regenerate is from a speedy family and is another newcomer to note.

There should be more improvement to come from STELLA ALPINA (nap) who went close against a short-priced favourite at Cork

4th (5) (16/1 -60%)Royal Rhythm |
16/1(-60%) | (5) Royal Rhythm 16/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f here latest before race developed; unexposed as a stayer; may ideally want easier ground but not ruled out Faller here last month when the outsider of three; no win since 2023. |

SAINT BIBIANA escapes a penalty having bolted up in a conditional riders' event at Huntingdon recently and she'll be a tough nut to crack if turning up in a similar vein of form. Hostile Hotelier reverts to hurdles following a couple of creditable efforts over the larger obstacles and is the main threat. Royal Rhythm is most appealing of the remainder.

Huningdon scorer SAINT BIBIANA is taken to follow up. Fine By Me is second choice.

Although Believeinmenow was disappointing when finishing ninth at Doncaster 18 days ago, it is too early to be writing him off given his debut second at Thirsk. However, STAR MATERIAL found only subsequent Hilary Needler winner Argentine Tango too strong at Pontefract and a similar performance may see the son of Starman open his account. Fortification is feared most after recently posting a third-placed debut at Bath.

An interesting novice in which a chance is taken on Richard Fahey's newcomer GREAT PROFIT. Fortification sets the standard.

17/2(+29%) | (8) Lethimfly 17/2, Made too much use of beaten 3l off 84 at Cork last time; blinkers first time; should come on for the run; significant jockey booking; wide draw; in the mix 5f maiden winner, fine effort behind two of these at Cork on return, 3lb lower; blinkers. |

RED EVOLUTION just got the better of Jorge Alvares over this trip at Cork last month and the first five from that race renew rivalry. The Michael O'Callaghan-trained gelding also won a sprint maiden at Dundalk earlier this year and may progress again to record a third win. Sarahmae blew her chance at the start in that Cork event but has since won in good style at Tipperary, while Lethimfly should benefit from his seasonal debut and Dylan Browne McMonagle is a significant booking. Agouti Bear is another to note.

SARAHMAE, an easy winner latest, blew the start when behind three of these at Cork and if starting better, she could reverse that form

Dan Skelton boasts a 21-percent strike-rate at this venue which could be improved further courtesy of ICE IN THE VEINS. The five-year-old landed a bumper at Worcester last month and further success might be on the cards here. One Cool Dreamer achieved a peak rating of 73 on the Flat so would have a real chance if taking to this new discipline, and Belcamo can't be overlooked either.

Promising ICE IN THE VEINS is greatly respected. One Cool Dreamer and Belcamo look the main dangers.

ORIONIS did little wrong when finishing second in a class 2 maiden over an extended 1m4f at Chester last month. A drop back in distance is unlikely to bother the daughter of Sea The Stars and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Sweet Princess, a half-sister to the Listed-placed Arabic Legend, is a potential fly in the ointment on her opening bid and market support would be interesting. Ritaan may fare best of the remainder.

Sweet Princess is interesting on her debut but this looks a good opportunity for ORIONIS to get off the mark.

The nicely-bred JANNAH STAR went off a well-backed favourite for a fillies' maiden at Limerick and finished third, beaten two lengths. That race was on deep ground and she should be suited by the better surface she is expected to encounter now. There ought to be plenty of improvement in her and she looks the pick of Joseph O'Brien's trio. Royal Hollow is a more-than-useful hurdler who could exploit any chinks in stamina among her rivals. Her last appearance on the Flat saw her finish a close second at Gowran Park. Paddy Twomey's Tenoya can build upon a debut third at Cork, while Diamond Exchange, Camevere and It's A Heartbeat shouldn't be ruled out.

John O'Donoghue's IT'S A HEARTBEAT is narrowly preferred. She ran a lovely race on debut at Naas and this longer trip should suit.

18/1(-50%) | (8) Ballymena Boy 18/1, 41l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m here most recent run; up in trip; should show some improvement now handicapping if stamina holds up but that is a worry Yet to threaten under rules but this point bumper runner-up has a lowly opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (40/1 -82%)Rockbeare |
40/1(-82%) | (9) Rockbeare 40/1, Comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot last time where had easy lead; longer trip a plus; probably bit to come now handicapping This handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity but improvement is needed. |

An open contest in which a chance can be taken on RED PANDA. The daughter of Sir Percy was beaten 26 lengths on her return to action last month but that effort wasn't devoid of promise. She still has few miles on the clock and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could work the oracle now back in a handicap. Definite Dream hasn't been seen since New Years' Eve but had been knocking at the door prior to that absence. Byzantium is another to consider.

This may not take much winning and FOURTOWNS, who has run some good races in defeat, is taken to make a winning start for Sarah Humphrey

Having justified favouritism over C&D last month, Mr Jetman warrants respect in his follow-up bid. However, a 5lb higher mark and rise in class could prove the five-year-old's undoing and preference is for CODE PURPLE. Ben Haslam has his string in good order at present and his Ribchester gelding makes plenty of appeal on the back of a good second at Musselburgh. Poet's Dawn and Jez Bomb are also of interest.

A competetive handicap in which POET'S DAWN is taken to capitalise on a career-low mark at the expense of Code Purple.

SIXANDAHALF's third in the Irish Cesarewitch at this track last season is a notable piece of form. It is hard to fault her subsequent hurdling efforts that included a runner-up berth in the Grade 2 mares' novices' hurdle at Cheltenham. Mr Percy looks threatening off bottom weight. He was last seen landing a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse a couple of months ago, and won his maiden by seven lengths over this trip at Gowran Park last year. Smooth Tom got back to winning ways over flights in Cork and has a good record at this track. The veteran Falcon Eight availed of a canny ride to deliver in Gowran Park and is another with plenty of course form.

SIXANDAHALF went close in the Irish Cesarewitch on her last start on the Flat and could make amends over this shorter distance

SHADOWS IN THE SKY has been a revelation since joining the James Owen stable, and stepping up in trip could bring about further improvement from the nine-year-old. Placed on two of her three outings since scoring at Stratford last October, Harrys Hope must enter calculations, along with Redbridge Rambler, who is best judged on his victory at Chepstow two starts ago.

Having been in top form since joining James Owen, SHADOWS IN THE SKY is taken to add to last month's win at Uttoxeter.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (50/1 -52%)Flag Of Love |
50/1(-52%) | (11) Flag Of Love 50/1, Poor when comfortably held in a handicap over 8f at Carlisle last time on handicap debut; struggled since 2nd run (soft); top course trainer; trip a big concern but squeak on pick of form Little solid form in her five starts; drops to 6f with a point to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

EMPEROR CARADOC made virtually every yard to score by a length at Nottingham last time and is just 4lb higher. The six-year-old remains feasibly treated off his current mark and can complete a double. Harry's Halo hasn't finished outside of the top three in any of his last seven starts and he has to be considered on his return to the fray. Lord Abama, second behind the selection last time, is another to note.

The unpenalised Mart has to enter calculations but SACRED FALLS (nap) had excuses at Carlisle and can resume her progress.

STEEL MAGNOLIA was a market mover on handicap debut at Tipperary and kept on to get up for second close home. The winner of that race has followed up in a higher grade, so there could be some scope in Steel Magnolia's mark of 51. Hugo's Girl outran her odds when third in a decent fillies' handicap over further at this venue last month. She brings plenty of experience to the race and has stronger claims than most. Annie Lavinia was beaten less than a length into fourth over 7f at Down Royal last Friday, which entitles her to respect. Sea Fort has been given a chance by the handicapper and can get closer.

ANNIE LAVINIA has shown winning potential more than once and she may be able to get her head in front dropped back in trip.

5th (3) (11/1 +21%)Princess T |
11/1(+21%) | (3) Princess T 11/1, Below par 9 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Stratford most recent run; just 1lb above last winning mark; outside chance but bit to find with Therapist on recent meeting Won at Wincanton last October but was no match for Therapist at Stratford last time. |

THERAPIST was value for much more than the winning margin suggests after stumbling at the last and hanging left at Straford last month. A 5lb rise for that success could prove lenient, and she can land the hat-trick ahead of Soleil D'arizona, who has done well since having wind surgery but was well held in second over C&D most recently. Blazeon Five has yet to put it together since joining this yard, but she cannot be ruled out at this level.

Things have clicked for the Nicky Henderson-trained THERAPIST (nap) the last twice and her latest win at Stratford reads well.

8th (3) (17/2 -55%)Dark Kestrel |
17/2(-55%) | (3) Dark Kestrel 17/2, Below par beaten 7l in a handicap over 6f at Wetherby last time; usually held up; best on AW; threat on AW form but bit to prove on recent turf form Slow starts an issue; dangerous mark if his latest wind surgery has the desired effect. |

WRESTLING REVENUE showed a lot more when making the frame at Pontefract in April and he has been dropped 1lb. With the booking of Paul Mulrennan catching the eye, the son of Mehmas could regain the winning thread. Rock Of England finished fourth at Carlisle last time and competes off a career-low rating, so he is one to watch out for. Herakles isn't ruled out either.

Paul Midgley's two runners are handicapped to go well but so is JOJO RABBIT and Ruth Carr's 7yo can get the better of younger rivals.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

33/1(+0%) | (13) Nouvel Espoir 33/1, Below par down the field in a handicap at Naas most recent; usually consistent; top jockey back on board; on last winning mark; best watched back from break Speedy 5yo whose two wins have come at 5f and 6f could be a stretch on this stiff track. |

21st (10) (33/1 +0%)Catherine Chroi |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22nd (15) (50/1 -100%)Twotolose |
50/1(-100%) | (15) Twotolose 50/1, Below par fourth beaten 12l in a maiden at Cork latest; not proven trip; fair mark on maiden efforts; bit to find in current form Third behind White Clover in a 5f maiden in October but hasn't progressed from there. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23rd (24) (100/1 -100%)Jacks Inn |
100/1(-100%) | (24) Jacks Inn 100/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; returning from long layoff; not proven trip; bit to find Only had the four races but was well down the field on his handicap debut (6f, good; 22-1). |

SECRET MAGICIAN signalled that another success may not be far away when fourth at this track. He has two Curragh victories in the book to call upon and is well versed in big-field handicaps. Zaragoza ran on well for third at Navan and will be looking to double his career total. White Clover runs under the mandatory 7lb penalty for winning a better-class race at Listowel on Sunday, so is sure to be popular. Dynamic Force was runner-up in his last two races at Roscommon and Down Royal, which brings him into contention, while Run Forrest Run should be in there pitching. Verhoyen, who is really dropping down the weights, and Tawaazon are others in the mix.

There are a whole host to consider, including last year's winner ZARAGOZA who returns on the back of a highly encouraging run at Navan

1st (3) (5/1 +38%)Isocrate |
5/1(+38%) | (3) Isocrate 5/1, 16l third in a handicap chase over 2m at Ffos Las most recent run where forced wide; longer trip a big plus; very well treated on hurdle form; interesting Took step back in right direction last month; could have more to offer now back up in trip. |

2nd (2) (2/1 +43%)Theonlywayiswessex |
2/1(+43%) | (2) Theonlywayiswessex 2/1, Well beaten in a handicap chase at Plumpton latest; in good form prior; returning from a break; better ground a plus; outside chance Underwhelming in February but on soft ground; posted an easy win before that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 -20%)Fancy Stuff |
4/1(-20%) | (4) Fancy Stuff 4/1, Ideally suited by trip second beaten 5l in a handicap chase over 2m3f at Stratford latest coming clear with unexposed rival; good ground suits; has struggled here before but go close if jumping holds up Clear with improved winner at Stratford and respected now she's back on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (13/8 -79%)Okavango Delta |
13/8(-79%) | (1) Okavango Delta 13/8, Landed a handicap by 2l off 106 at Worcester last time; helped by late faller that day; progressive; contender but revised mark demands more Back on the scoresheet at Worcester three weeks ago and a 4lb rise may not stop him today. |

OKAVANGO DELTA scored comfortably at Worcester last time out and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the nine-year-old from making it three wins in four starts. Runner-up at Stratford last time out, Fancy Stuff is a key player, while the same can be said of Theonlywayiswessex, who has strong claims on the best on his form from last season.

Preference is for THEONLYWAYISWESSEX, who impressed at Plumpton in December and had a possible excuse on his sole run since.

5th (4) (7/2 +53%)Epicurian Lad |
7/2(+53%) | (4) Epicurian Lad 7/2, Below par beaten 6l in a handicap at Nottingham last time on quick ground; visor first time; usually held up; trip fine; wide draw; can do better on easier ground, bang in the mix Not progressed this year but down in the weights and the fitting of a visor could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 +20%)Timeless Spirit |
6/1(+20%) | (1) Timeless Spirit 6/1, Possibly found ground bit fast beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time off a layoff on handicap debut; trip fine; can do better but looks on stiff mark Yet to build on her promising debut effort; down in class but others look safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (28/1 -12%)Caledonian Dream |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Caledonian Dream 28/1, Beaten 3 1/2l off 49 over 7f at Redcar last time; trainer in form; up in trip a concern; lost way but showed a tad more latest, in the mix if building on it 0-10 and although recent Redcar return was satisfactory, he'll need more to take this. |

8th (7) (16/1 +20%)King At The Races |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (80/1 -100%)William Marshal |
80/1(-100%) | (3) William Marshal 80/1, Down the field in a maiden over 6f at Wolverhampton most recent; up in trip a big concern; on stiff looking mark and stamina a big issue, lot to do Modest form in three runs over shorter but this looks more suitable now handicapping. |

PRECIOUS SPARTAN made a mockery of his 16/1 odds when scoring readily on debut for his new yard over C&D last week and now has a 6lb penalty to carry. Provided the three-year-old remains in similar form, he will prove tough to beat. Epicurian Lad was never dangerous when only sixth at Nottingham, but is 2lb lower and sports a first-time visor. Flamborough Head completes the shortlist.

Precious Spartan won easily over C&D last week but this is a stronger race and Epicurian Lad and BETA READER are preferred.
Ths is the racecard key.

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