The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

COOLREE ran into a couple of in-form rivals when third at Listowel last month and may be able to strike again here. The Mondialiste gelding bumped into Drop The Dip and Wrist Art last time and both have gone on to frank the form. Coolree is only a couple of pounds higher here. Mogwli has been running consistently and handles testing conditions. He should be thereabouts again. Arch Enemy is another who has been knocking on the door and has to come into calculations.

COOLREE was surrounded by subsequent winners at Listowel last month so can quickly resume winning ways. Nituna continues to shape well and is next best ahead of Arch Enemy.

Quite a competitive handicap in which COOLREE gets the vote, now dropped in trip after a good Listowel run in similar conditions

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

LATIN VERSE appeared somewhat of an unlucky loser in his runner-up effort at Sedgefield earlier in the month after jumping badly left at the final obstacle. Milton Harris' juvenile will need to jump better to shed his maiden tag in this sphere, but he should take all the stopping if building on that hurdles bow. Kauto Kawai is worth noting in the market on his UK debut, while Flat recruits Outgun and Soigneux Bell could have a say too.

French-recruit MOJO EGO gets the nod to make a winning start for Harry Derham but there are several with possibilities in an interesting opener. Latin Verse should have a big say if brushing up on his jumping with his Sedgefield experience behind him, while Kundaline's French form suggests she's better than she showed at Ludlow. Soigneux Bell and Outgun are a couple of interesting hurdle newcomers in a race where the betting could prove informative.

Having shown promise and stamina on both Flat starts, hurdling newcomer SOIGNEUX BELL is the selection ahead of Captain Marvellous.

BESTALINE hasn't raced for almost a year but has jumping experience and returns at a good time of year – hinting she'll be ready. A debut French flat winner at Nort-Sur-Erdre in May 2022, she was reported to be 'blowing hard' post-race on jumps debut but finishing third to Zarak The Brave last November in a race which has worked out very well. She's A Fine Wine won impressively in March and debuts for new connections. From a talented family whose runners invariably race keenly, she pulled too hard in an April Grade 2 bumper but is better judged on her Southwell success. She is likely to race prominently but cedes hurdling experience to the selection. Mag Dillane has bits of form and can follow on at a respectful distance in third. Not Before Time showed ability on Tipperary debut.

A serious case of quantity over quality in this opener and provided she's ready to roll, BESTALINE is fancied to put her jumping experience to good use and make it third time lucky in this sphere. The obvious danger is She's A Fine Wine, who won a bumper at Southwell back in March and makes her hurdling debut for Henry de Bromhead. Mag Dillane and Not Before Time can fight out third spot.

French Flat winner bBESTALINE\p stands out on her third to the subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Zarak The Brave at Fairyhouse last November

Trainer Sam England won this in 2020 and has a good chance of following up that success here with TOM CREEN. Twice a winner from three starts over fences at this venue, he does need a career best off this mark but he won first time out last season. Clondaw Pretender hasn't been seen since February 2022 but his stable are in good form and is one to consider, while Fakir has won off 20lb higher in the past and is difficult to ignore off his current mark.

TOM CREEN did well over fences last season, winning twice here (including on return) and unlucky to bump into a handicap blot at Huntingdon on final start, so has solid claims. Dual-point winner Present Fair should do better now handicapping/chasing so is feared most.

The Donald McCain-trained point winner PRESENT FAIR is open to improvement on this chase debut and earns the vote.

The ground would be a concern for CAIRO, who returns from an absence, but his class may see him through. The Quality Road colt was last seen chasing home star stablemate Paddington in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in late May. He won the Killavullan Stakes last year with a good cut in the ground which would give some hope he could get through testing conditions. Honey Girl is a consistent sort and gets through ground. She could be a danger. Power Under Me was slightly disappointing last time at Cork but is a dual course and distance winner, including when claiming this race 12 months ago in soft ground, and has to be respected.

CAIRO hasn't been seen since an excellent second in the Irish 2000 Guineas but has been found a good opportunity back down in class. Honey Girl is feared most ahead of Snapraeterea.

Irish 2,000 Guineas second CAIRO could be hard to beat if handling the ground

NOTNOWLINDA was far from disgraced when finding only another unexposed chaser too good on her chasing bow at Warwick last month and Dan Skelton's mare is fancied to defy a 2lb nudge in the ratings. Rakhine State is the only other rival with experience over the larger obstacles and the veteran shouldn't be far away after posting a respectable third over hurdles at Perth in September, with Kotmask and Fame And Fun making most appeal of those making their debuts in this sphere.

Dan Skelton's NOTNOWLINDA shaped well on her first go over fences when runner-up at Warwick (form been franked) and can put that experience to good use to fend off chasing-newcomers Arclight and Fame And Fun who are both in excellent hands and bring potential to this sphere. Rakhine State and Spago are two others who need considering in an intriguing novice chase.

The most obvious answer is NOTNOWLINDA, who made a very solid start to her chasing career when second at Warwick last month.

WALK AWAY HARRY returns from a summer's break, having won at the Punchestown festival. He debuts over jumps but has heavy-ground form and his rider claims 5lb. His owners the Area Fiftyone Syndicate, share the same name as a highly-classified US Air Force training range but their horse notably reappears for a local trainer at a big meet. Native Speaker was left clear to easily win his point-to-point and ran well in a good Cork bumper in March. His jumping experience will help but is vulnerable to smart types. What's Up Darling has point-to-pointing experience and while his bumper form is strong, it was over longer distances which suggests he might prefer further than two miles. Diamboy Des Carres relishes testing ground and is built for fences but hasn't run since November. Ballycallan King has minor place claims.

Some appealing types on show in this maiden hurdle, headed by WALK AWAY HARRY and What's Up Darling, both of whom landed bumpers when last seen in the spring. The form of the Punchestown race won by Walk Away Harry looks pretty decent and he is marginally preferred. Ballycallan King is the clear pick of those with hurdles experience and is much respected, while point winner Native Speaker and interesting Flat recruit Frontispiece are also of interest.

Slight preference is for point/bumper winner WHAT'S UP DARLING over Punchestown bumper scorer Walk Away Harry

With little hurdling form to go on, Best Guess merits consideration but he will need to step up on his Flat form to have a say here. Swiss Money pulled too hard to have any chance on his hurdling bow at Stratford and could settle better now, but MAKANAO is narrowly preferred. Second at Fontwell earlier in the month, he has won on the level in France and can only improve for that experience.

Milton Harris is seeking a hat-trick of wins in this race and SWISS MONEY is selected to leave the form of his hurdle debut in July behind with a tongue tie added back from a 3-month break. Fontwell runner-up Makanao is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Jennie Candlish hurdle newcomer I'm Too Tired.

A weak race in which I'M TOO TIRED is tentatively preferred to Swiss Money.

CATENA ZAPATA ran well on his return from an absence at Cork last month when staying on to chase home Helpmeout in Cork. The Vadamos gelding has gained his two wins at Dundalk but ran well in testing conditions last time and with in-form apprentice Wayne Hassett taking 7lb off now he looks nicely treated. Saltonstall is a couple of pounds lower than when winning this last year and has to be respected having run a couple of nice races recently. Aidan O'Brien runs two and the unexposed Subzero is an interesting one with Jack Cleary taking 7lb off.

SALTONSTALL is back on a winning mark and can land this race for the second year in succession for the Ado McGuinness team. There should be more to come from unexposed Aidan O'Brien 3-y-o Subzero who is second choice ahead of last month's Cork runner-up Catena Zapata.

Value may be had here in the bottom-weighted SAN AER, an eyecatching third at Naas last weekend on this sort of ground

Presenting Nelly completed the second leg of a quick-fire double at Newton Abbot in late-September, but the six-year-old will require another career-best performance to complete a hat-trick judged on the ratings. DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE appeared a bit too keen when runner-up over an extended 3m at Southwell earlier this month and he could regain the winning thread now dropping in distance to 2m5f, with first-time cheekpieces an added bonus. The returning Much Too Dear is seen as the largest threat in receipt of 7lb from the selection and completes the shortlist.

BEACHCOMBER should be all the sharper with last month's hurdle debut under his belt and can make the most of the weight he receives from the previous winners in this line-up. It would be no surprise were the main threat to come from Emma Lavelle Irish point recruit Monks Meadow, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.

Chepstow bumper winner BEACHCOMBER made a very encouraging start to his hurdling career three weeks ago and should build on that run.

HALSAFARI debuts for a new trainer and runs in a first-time tongue-tie but has claims if recapturing old form, on his favoured heavy ground. His previous win was in 2019 but he competed well at higher levels last winter, returns from a break and contests a winnable race. Millstream Lady won well in a similar Listowel handicap last month but competes from 9lb higher. In-form Chainofconsequence is a previous course winner who competes well at this level while Hazran should improve from a recent flat reappearance. Stablemates Flemansflick and New Barn Lane, along with He's Home Again, debut in handicaps.

Having dropped in the weights, CHAINOFCONSEQUENCE ran at least as well as ever when second at Galway 19 days ago and he can build on that to return to winning ways. Millstream Lady showed improved form when opening her account at Listowel last time and could be the main danger, ahead of Cheerful Chap.

Second on his return to hurdling at Galway, CHAINOFCONSEQUENCE should be suited by this longer trip and can go one better

Fiston Du Mou didn't jump with his usual fluency when sixth on his return here recently but as the only C&D winner in the field, he warrants plenty of respect and may do better now. Ali Star Bert could also get involved, but a chance is taken on TOMMYDAN. The eight-year-old won over 3m at Hexham a couple of weeks ago and a 4lb rise for that success appears to be fair.

POST CHAISE is back down in class on his return so could be worth chancing with his yard in red-hot form. Ali Star Bert and Tommydan are others to consider.

Post Chaise is interesting upped in trip for his return but the unexposed handicap debutant BALLYLINCH gets the nod.

SPREWELL takes a drop in grade here and can get back to winning ways on softer ground. The Churchill colt has been highly tried this season with two Derby runs, finishing fourth at Epsom, and he was last seen in the Irish Champion Stakes. His best performances came on softer ground at the start of the season, particularly when winning the Derby Trial at Leopardstown, and he hasn't looked totally at home on faster surfaces, especially in the Irish Derby. This could be a nice confidence booster now. Layfayette is top-rated in the field and is an obvious danger. He was a fine third in Group 3 company at Leopardstown last time having won at the same level previously. Boogie Woogie has been knocking on the door in stakes company since winning her maiden and could be placed material here.

After landing the Royal Whip at the Curragh in August, LAYFAYETTE ran at least as well when third in the Paddy Power Stakes at this course last time. The drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem and he has the best form, so he takes preference over Boogie Woogie, with Sprewell also considered.

Fresh from attaining a career-high mark when third in last month's Kilternan Stakes here LAYFAYETTE (nap) can gain a tenth success

Mercian Prince deserves a mention having won this race for the last two years, but he is 12 now and was not at his best when pulled up last time out at Bangor. He could still go well but JAY JAY REILLY is readily preferred. A three-time course winner, twice over fences and once over hurdles, he was last seen finishing second to the aforementioned Mercian Prince over C&D in May, despite pulling too hard, and looks set for a profitable season. Thelasthighking is lightly raced and may be the one to follow the suggestion home at these weights for the in-form Twiston-Davies yard.

Plenty to consider with the vote going to CORRIGEEN ROCK, who is probably the one open to the most improvement still. Jay Jay Reilly and Thelasthighking head the dangers.

The suggestion is C&D winner JAY JAY REILLY (nap), who responded well to the addition of cheekpieces towards the end of last season.

POSITIVE THINKER has failed in 10 previous hurdle runs but has won both his chases and today reverts to hurdling from a favourable rating. A soft-ground stayer, he is rated 11lb higher over fences following his recent Gowran win, he looks progressive and nicely handicapped. Five-time winner Robyndeglory also stays well and while she has too recent form, isn't ahead of the handicapper. Another Nightmare won over this distance at Listowel and while 5lb higher, might be able to continue her progression. Criminal Mischief won an ordinary Clonmel maiden in March and while well held last-time, could improve a little at this distance. Killinure Lass is dependable at this level and has place claims.

Successful over fences on his latest outing, POSITIVE THINKER can continue his good run of form and take advantage of his lower mark back over hurdles. He is taken to get the better of Robyndeglory, who produced her best effort of the season reverted to hurdling last time, with Mont Saint Vincent completing the shortlist.

Gowran chase winner Positive Thinker will do for many but KILLINURE LASS, equally suited by conditions, is just preferred

LANGTON WOLD must hold every chance on the back of a highly encouraging hurdling debut over C&D 11 days ago, where he was not beaten far into second. With improvement expected, he can get the better of the Newcastle runner-up Five Dollar Fine, as well as Easter Junction, who was still in contention when unseating two out at Bangor-on-Dee earlier in the month.

EASTER JUNCTION was in the process of making a promising start to his hurdle career when unseating 2 out at Bangor and is taken to provide the Donald McCain/Brian Hughes combination with a second successive win in this contest. Tommy Time has achieved enough in bumpers to suggest he has a bright future over jumps and is second choice ahead of Brian Ellison's Langton Wold.

Kilta shaped quite nicely on his stable debut but FIVE DOLLAR FINE might make a winning return to action.

NOSTRINGSATTACHED looks like a mare that can continue to improve after opening her account at the Curragh last month. The big daughter of Markaz went up 7lb for her maiden success but that looked justified and she is still fairly unexposed. Dumb Love handled testing conditions well when winning her maiden at Bellewstown and having remained on the same mark of 73 she could run well now tried in handicap company. Tea Olive has been knocking on the door and having eased another pound for her most recent run at Bellewstown she could be place material now.

The low-mileage TIME TO BOOGIE made a sound start to her handicap career when third at Dundalk recently and can strike for Aidan O'Brien and Seamie Heffernan. Dumb Love is another lightly-raced 3-y-o from a good stable and is second choice ahead of Turbulence and last month's Punchestown scorer Final Check.

It might pay to take a chance on handicap debutante TEOREMA who returns to what is probably her optimum trip.

It takes a good horse to win this with The New One taking it three times and SCEAU ROYAL looks to match that feat after successes in 2021 and 2022. Alan King's 11-year-old has an excellent record fresh with wins first time out in six of the last seven seasons, and although time has to catch up with him eventually, it may not be just yet. Rubaud is an improving youngster who could have more to offer, while First Street also has to be of interest returning from a wind operation.

FIRST STREET made a successful reappearance last season and, while his form tailed off towards the end of the campaign, he's likely to be back to his best after 6 months off. He takes marginal preference over Sceau Royal, with the progressive Too Friendly also considered.

Popular veteran SCEAU ROYAL has won the last two editions of this race pretty comfortably and may be too good for Rubaud.

Gordon Elliott runs eight, with Jack Kennedy riding 2022 Irish National runner-up FRONTAL ASSAULT. He should improve from a recent reappearance and wasn't beaten far in January's Thyestes. Stablemates Gevrey and Defi Bleu were second and third in April's Irish National and, while Gevrey pulled up having made a mistake at Listowel latest, he is capable of better. Mars Harper won at Listowel but competes from a career-high mark. Run Wild Fred, winner of the 2021 Troytown, finished second in the 2021 Irish National but has an absence to overcome. Coco Beach, winner of the 2021 Thyestes, is suited by testing conditions, while Paddy Power winner Real Steel would prefer a sounder surface.

Gordon Elliott is mob-handed, fielding eight runners, but it's the Joseph O'Brien-trained A WAVE OF THE SEA who earns the vote. He didn't jump at all well at Listowel last time, but is a big player judged on solid efforts in a Tipperary Grade 3 and the Galway Plate during the summer, plus he's now 6 lb below the mark off which he finished fourth in this race 12 months ago. The Goffer, Frontal Assault and Gevrey, all members of the Elliott battalion, are feared most in that order of preference.

Gordon Elliott supplies eight of the 13. It could pay to take the hint from Jack Kennedy who sticks with FRONTAL ASSAULT

The eight-year-old remains on a workable mark and is narrowly preferred to the easy Cartmel winner Marshalled, who ran well when placed here in April. Irish raider The Abbey is another to note having won twice in May.

MARSHALLED arrives on the up and with this stiffer test of stamina promising to suit Ben Haslam's son of Flemensfirth he is taken to follow up his impressive recent Cartmel success. No Cruise Yet is a likeable type and could emerge as the chief threat on his seasonal return ahead of the consistent Geryville and handily-weighed Irish challenger The Abbey.

BALLSBRIDGE may have bumped into a decent sort in Frazil at Naas eight days ago and can open his account now at the third time of asking. The Lord Kanaloa colt looked set to collect last time but was run down inside the final furlong. A similar run may be enough to get the job done now. Quare Hawk was a length-and-a-quarter behind the selection on his debut then and with natural improvement he could be the danger now. Finsceal Go Deo is a frustrating sort but has the ability to be a big player and it would be no surprise if she reached the frame again.

BALLSBRIDGE stepped up on his debut when runner-up at Naas 8 days ago and there's potential for more up in trip, so he's the obvious selection. Quare Hawk is a danger on the back of a promising start and Taymura makes plenty of appeal on pedigree.

Ballsbridge has clear claims on last week's Naas run but that form brings QUARE HAWK firmly into the equation.

JODY TED progressed well having returned from 584 days off last season and likes this distance and testing ground. His form last winter was strong and while he returns following a summer's break, contests a lesser handicap than when finishing second to Kilcruit at Punchestown last April. Race-fit, in-form Pats Choice is ground-versatile but is 5lb higher than when winning at Galway. Course winner All Those Years is ground-versatile and was staying on when falling at Killarney in August while similarly-owned Mica Malpic would prefer a sounder surface. Hope Des Blins is in-form but faces a tougher task than when winning at Sligo.

Having finally opened her chase account at Sligo last month, HOPE DES BLINS is taken to follow up back in a handicap off what looks a reasonable enough mark. This is a tougher assignment, but she clearly relishes plenty of cut in the ground and could prove hard to peg back with that confidence-boosting Sligo success under her belt. Mica Malpic will be a threat if able to bounce back from a below-par effort last time and Jody Ted should also be in the mix if ready to roll following a break.

A race designed for horses rated up to 145 but they haven't shown up which gives JODY TED a nice opportunity to land a good prize

Imperial Data stayed on well when getting up to win in the dying strides over C&D earlier this month and a 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, Rebecca Menzies' gelding may be worth taking on now upped in class with IMPULSIVE ONE. The five-year-old has undergone a wind procedure since an unsuccessful spell over fences and returns to this sphere off a handy mark. Gordons Aura is a potential improver now upped in distance and he could have a say too.

IMPERIAL DATA has gone 2-2 since undergoing breathing surgery and this low-mileage C&D winner is fancied to make light of a 5 lb weights rise and complete a quick hat-trick. Barrichello has won when fresh so could emerge as the chief threat on his seasonal return ahead of Hajey and Impulsive One.

Two-time C&D winner HAJEY (nap) reappeared with an encouraging third at Hexham recently and is taken to regain the winning thread.

One-time Derby hope ALEXANDROUPOLIS is a fascinating runner here and should appreciate the softer conditions. He didn't make much impression in the St Leger last month but this is obviously a lesser grade now and he has the ability to be a big player despite carrying plenty of weight for a three-year-old. Star Harbour comes here in fine form and having been a close second at Dundalk last time he should be competitive again off 2lb higher. Smooth Tom won over hurdles at Listowel last month and is a couple of pounds lower than when last running on the Flat. He could reach the frame.

Plenty are in with a shout. CHALLY CHUTE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when tenth at the Curragh last time and can take advantage of a 3 lb drop in the weights to bag a second success of 2023. Solar Breeze is unexposed over this trip and feared most on the back of her impressive Navan success, with Imaginarium, Star Harbour, Moracana and Smooth Tom all in the mix too in a highly competitive event.

A deep handicap that will take some winning. CHALLY CHUTE didn't run at all badly in the Irish Cesarewitch and can do better again.

Shallow River and Whatsupwithyou have the form to get involved as well.

A case can be made for plenty of these but the most persuasive one is for DECORATED who ended last term with back-to-back victories and can carry on where he left off on his seasonal return after undergoing breathing surgery. Milton Harris' new recruit Shallow River is feared most on the back of a good recent Newton Abbot second, although the likes of Oscars Moonshine, Whatsupwithyou and Sami Bear all need factoring in too.

A top notch performer in 2020/'21, he is proven on testing ground and while absent since his Red Mills Hurdle run in February 2022, effectively missed just one full jumps season and being a six-year-old, might retain his ability. Cool Survivor is himself a Listed winning hurdler who finished fourth at Grade 1 level last February. He was reported to have 'stopped quickly' at Cheltenham in March and while vulnerable to an on-song selection, could become a capable chaser. La Malmason has hurdles form and is race-fit but has plenty on her plate while race-fit Captains Nephew is also useful but needs to improve to win.

Though his wellbeing has to be taken on trust following a 16-month absence, QUILIXIOS was much the best of these over hurdles and will take plenty of stopping if he makes a good shape over fences at the first attempt. Cool Survivor, also a talented hurdler, is clear next best ahead of La Malmason.

If fit and ready after a long absence the former Triumph Hurdle winner QUILIXIOS can see off a likely challenge from Cool Survivor

17:35 Sedgefield NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

BRECHIN CASTLE justified short odds when landing an Irish point-to-point in February and his half-brother Wynn House won a bumper on his Rules debut. Vision De Maine boasts a similar profile and is feared most, while it is also worth considering Easy To Follow. She debuts for the Dr Richard Newland stable and brings some solid point-to-point form to the table.

BRECHIN CASTLE fetched six figures after landing his only outing in points and represents an in-form stable, so he's preferred to fellow point recruit Vision de Maine, whose yard does well in this sphere. Easy To Follow is also considered.

This could rest between the two point winners and narrow preference is for BRECHIN CASTLE ahead of Vision De Maine.
