12:15 Leicester (Class 5) 15f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/2 +29%) Thankyouandplease	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(6) Thankyouandplease 5/2, Ran to form when beaten 5 1/4l into third in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time. Effective from 2m to 2 3/4m, may stay 3m, and remains competitive at this trip. 0-7 over hurdles but ran well on both starts for new stable this autumn; respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +29%) Aggagio	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(1) Aggagio 5/2, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Windsor last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good or good to soft ground. Now below his last winning mark and could bounce back. Not competitive at Windsor last time but could be hard to beat at this much lower level.
3	5 3rd (5) (40/1 -60%) Lupus Regem	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Lupus Regem 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow on his latest start. Effective at 2m and acts with cut but has been largely out of form since returning from a long lay-off. Generally very disappointing last season and pulled up when back in action last month.
4	4 4th (4) (11/4 +66%) Raffles Nobu	2.75 11/4(+66%)	(4) Raffles Nobu 11/4, Made mistakes and may have found the ground too quick when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time. Effective at 2m and handles cut in the ground, though yet to reproduce his French form. Ran okay at Kempton last month, his second stable start, and might kick on again here.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 -78%) Snapius	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Snapius 4/1, Had every chance and ran to form when beaten 6 1/4l into third in a handicap hurdle here on his latest run. Effective at 2m, suited by cut in the ground, and a consistent type. Returned from break with pretty good C&D third last month; remains on workable mark.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -27%) Port Or Starboard	14 14/1(-27%)	(7) Port Or Starboard 14/1, Made no show from off the pace when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las on his latest run. Effective at 2m and acts on soft or good ground, but needs more and may not be the force of old. Returned from break with two disappointing run (Flat/hurdles) and needs to turn a corner.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 -600%) Almeirinda	28 28/1(-600%)	(3) Almeirinda 28/1, Raced wide and was outpaced, probably needing the run when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time. This is her second run after wind surgery; acts with cut and showed minor promise in France, may need more time for her new yard. Well beaten in maiden on British debut in April but could be a different proposition here.

SNAPIUS makes some appeal in here as he'll no doubt take a step forward for his comeback run at the track last month. He goes well on deep ground and is taken to be bang there at the business end, along with Aggagio, who is the sole C&D winner in the field. Thankyouandplease wasn't disgraced at Plumpton recently and is another of interest.

Class-dropper AGGAGIO should be too good for this field if back on song and is taken to record a second C&D success.

1	8 1st (8) (10/11 +0%) Soomaroy	0.909091 10/11(+0%)	(8) Soomaroy 10/11, Promising hurdle debut when splitting previous winners and beaten 1 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Ascot; effective at 2m on good ground; more to come over hurdles, possibly over further. Only second (odds-on) on Ascot hurdle debut; still makes plenty of appeal for leading yard.
2	9 2nd (9) (28/1 -211%) Wolf Walker	28 28/1(-211%)	(9) Wolf Walker 28/1, Finished tired and didn't stay up the hill when comfortably held in a hunter chase at Cheltenham last time; absent for a very long period and tongue-tie applied for the first time; not out of it. Back from an absence; sharply drops in trip with tongue-tie added for stable/hurdle debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 +50%) Onlyforfrankie	10 10/1(+50%)	(6) Onlyforfrankie 10/1, Too free up in grade on softer ground when well beaten in the Listed Three Counties Christmas Open NH Flat Race at Cheltenham; had been in good form before and may contend. Not disgraced in Listed bumper on yard debut latest; might have a say on hurdles debut.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 +79%) Pioneer Pete	3 3/1(+79%)	(7) Pioneer Pete 3/1, Ran to form when second beaten 4l in a novice hurdle at Exeter; effective at 2m on good ground; debut form has been franked at Graded level and he should be winning soon. Runner-up in both hurdle starts; sets a fair standard.
5th	11 5th (11) (22/1 -83%) Lyrical Choice	22 22/1(-83%)	(11) Lyrical Choice 22/1, Bit free but travelled well and improved from debut when third beaten 7l in a mares' bumper at Aintree; open to marked improvement. Third on her bumper comeback in October; now goes hurdling for a yard among the winners.
6th	1 6th (1) (250/1 -400%) Corner Forward	250 250/1(-400%)	(1) Corner Forward 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell last time on sole start; looks one for further down the line. Caught the stewards' attention when pulled up (28-1) on debut in October; market can help.
7th	3 7th (3) (66/1 -32%) Harbour Light	66 66/1(-32%)	(3) Harbour Light 66/1, Improved slightly from debut but well beaten in an amateurs' bumper at Worcester last time; hard to recommend. No big impression in bumpers; needs plenty more on this first go over hurdles.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 -21%) Necronaut	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Necronaut 40/1, Outpaced but improved from debut when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Chepstow last time; effective at 2m and there could be more to come for this top yard. Yet to build on bumper debut; weakened over hurdles (2m, soft) last time.
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 -25%) Las Canals	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Las Canals 20/1, Promising debut when third beaten 9 1/2l in a juvenile hurdle at Compiegne; effective over 2m on soft or heavy; French form has been franked at Graded level and could make a winning stable debut. Won French bumper last October; third over hurdles next; stable debut after 394 days away.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (7/2 -56%) Rock Sensation	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(12) Rock Sensation 7/2, Forced to switch and had too much to do when fourth beaten 5l in the Listed Mares' NH Flat Race at Cheltenham; bumper winner previously; gets weight from main rivals; likely type on hurdle debut. Solid return when 4th in Listed race last month; can make presence felt on hurdle debut.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (250/1 +0%) Freddiemissmolli	250 250/1(+0%)	(10) Freddiemissmolli 250/1, Outpaced on a poor hurdle debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Exeter; acts with cut but may need further than 2m. 100-1 and tailed off on her hurdles debut at Exeter (about 2m3f, good to soft) last month.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (100/1 -203%) Georgey	100 100/1(-203%)	(2) Georgey 100/1, Far too free but showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Wincanton; hard to recommend on hurdle debut. 9-2 but beaten 16l in a Wincanton bumper last month; may do better now hurdling.

SOOMAROY beat the now Dan Skelton-trained Vango Can Go in an Irish point-to-point earlier in the year and Skelton's gelding came out and give that form a nice boost when bolting up in a Southwell bumper. Nicky Henderson wasted no time in going over hurdles with the selection and, although beaten at cramped odds, it was an encouraging Rules debut in an Ascot novice hurdle last month. Expected to have come forward for that effort, he can get the better of Rock Sensation and Pioneer Pete.

Nicky Henderson's SOOMAROY retains plenty of potential and is taken to make amends for Ascot.

1	8 1st (8) (12/1 +14%) Amazing Cleni	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Amazing Cleni 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Huntingdon latest. Trainer in form; effective at 2m but yet to match bumper form over hurdles and needs more over fences. Soundly beaten in both handicap hurdles and pulled up on recent chase debut; lots to prove.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/2 +80%) Nine Nine Nine	5.5 11/2(+80%)	(9) Nine Nine Nine 11/2, Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Effective at 2m4f–2m7f and acts on heavy and good to soft ground; respected down 2lb. Would appeal more on slower ground but runs this track well and enters calculations.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 -38%) Kingston Gent	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(1) Kingston Gent 11/2, Up in trip but didn't get home when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time. Fair mark on best hurdle form but inconsistent in that sphere. 0-9 over hurdles; makes chase debut from workable mark but needs to better recent efforts.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +20%) Everyonesacritic	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Everyonesacritic 4/1, Made mistakes, outpaced and below form when well beaten in a handicap chase at Ffos Las latest. In good form prior; effective at 2½m, suited by cut and acts on good ground. In fine form until latest and could bounce back. Won here in February; returns on workable mark and with Sean Bowen booked; big player.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/2 -83%) Ronnies Reflection	5.5 11/2(-83%)	(6) Ronnies Reflection 11/2, Returned to form back from a break on easy ground when beaten 1¼l off 86 at Fontwell last time. Effective at 2¾m and suited by cut; should build on that effort and has a good course record. Dual C&D winner last season and ran well on last month's reappearance outing.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 -9%) Mary's Fortune	12 12/1(-9%)	(4) Mary's Fortune 12/1, Made mistakes and needed the run when fourth, beaten 21l in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee latest. May need some cut and is out of form for this yard. Returned from break with fairly encouraging run in October; needs to build on that here.
7th	11 7th (11) (9/2 +68%) Steal The Moves	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(11) Steal The Moves 9/2, Promising debut when fourth, beaten 7l in a handicap chase at Lingfield latest. Effective at 2½–3m and acts on heavy and good ground. More to come over fences and a strong player. Unexposed 5yo who made promising seasonal/handicap/chase debut last month; shortlisted.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (22/1 -175%) Butchers Bill	22 22/1(-175%)	(2) Butchers Bill 22/1, Outpaced and below form on stable debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Worcester last time. Off a short break; effective at 3m and acts on soft and good ground. Fair mark on Irish form and should come on for that run. Made low-key stable debut in Worcester chase in October and now 0-9 overall.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/2 +25%) Wonder Of The Seas	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(7) Wonder Of The Seas 9/2, Fell in a handicap chase at Ffos Las latest. Returning from a long layoff; effective around 3m and acts on heavy ground. Fair mark but has a bit to prove back from a break. Absent since last autumn but has good claims here if he returns in good nick.

RONNIES REFLECTION won over the track and trip a couple of times last season and made a really pleasing return to action last month at Fontwell. Beaten just over a length into second that day, he's expected to have come forward and makes plenty of appeal back at his lucky venue. Kingston Gent is noted for an in-form yard and Everyonesacritic is respected as well.

Unexposed 5yo STEAL THE MOVES has plenty of scope to progress from last month's very encouraging chase/handicap debut.

1	1 1st (1) (85/40 -31%) Azahara Palace	2.125 85/40(-31%)	(1) Azahara Palace 85/40, Bit free and conceded first run but made a very promising debut when second, beaten 2l in a novice hurdle at Wetherby last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, and should be winning soon over hurdles. Good account on hurdles/stable debut at Wetherby (2m) a fortnight ago; likely candidate..
2	3 2nd (3) (9/1 +36%) Mad Mag	9 9/1(+36%)	(3) Mad Mag 9/1, Ran to form when 10l third in a novice hurdle at Wetherby on her most recent run. Acts on soft ground but may find 2m on the sharp side again. One place (8l) behind Azahara Palace at Wetherby (2m; 12-1) a fortnight ago; minor honours.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/13 +32%) Trinity Street	0.615385 8/13(+32%)	(6) Trinity Street 8/13, Showed promise on debut when second, beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden bumper at Carlisle last time, but still has a bit to find. Found one stronger in a recent Carlisle bumper (2m1f); makes obvious appeal sent hurdling..
4	4 4th (4) (250/1 -67%) Moira My Love	250 250/1(-67%)	(4) Moira My Love 250/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle here last time. Acts on soft ground but has shown little in bumpers or over hurdles so far. Pulled up on C&D hurdles debut (300-1) five weeks ago; safe to focus elsewhere..
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +52%) Mystical Martika	12 12/1(+52%)	(5) Mystical Martika 12/1, Keen and below form when stepped up in trip on handicap debut, well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Effective at 2m but only modest form so far. Took a backward step at Kelso latest; is in good hands but has plenty to prove at present..

TRINITY STREET might be able to edge out Azahara Palace in a tight one to call. She won an Irish point-to-point in good style before posting a solid second on her Rules bow in a Carlisle bumper. Now making her hurdling debut, she's expected to have been well schooled at home and makes a bit more appeal than the Wetherby runner-up. Gintime is also noted.

This looks an ideal opportunity for Henry Daly's TRINITY STREET, a £115,000 purchase (point winner), to make a winning hurdles debut.

1	8 1st (8) (16/5 -16%) Vol Royale	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(8) Vol Royale 16/5, Produced a modest effort when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow last time; trainer in form; effective over 2m–2½m on good ground and likely to stay further over hurdles based on point form. Could go well with this drop back in trip likely to suit.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/6 +0%) Gnomon	0.666667 4/6(+0%)	(2) Gnomon 4/6, Showed improvement demonstrating stamina when winning a handicap at Haydock by 3l last time; returns from a short break and bumper winner looks a potential threat starting out for new yard over hurdles. Bumper scorer and progressive on Flat for Ralph Beckett; interesting recruit.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/2 -140%) Green Sky	4.5 9/2(-140%)	(9) Green Sky 9/2, Found little and needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot last time; effective over 2m with cut but has been inconsistent for the new yard. However Irish form sets clear standard and he should go close. Folded tamely on stable debut; had wind surgery since; best form sets the standard.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +43%) Get In Order	8 8/1(+43%)	(1) Get In Order 8/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 9l in a novice hurdle here last time; acts on good ground; in fair form and likely to be suited by handicaps and a bit further. Fourth over C&D last time; still open to improvement; possibilities.
5th	11 5th (11) (300/1 -200%) Western Ginny	300 300/1(-200%)	(11) Western Ginny 300/1, Far too free and comfortably held in a claiming hurdle at Ludlow last time; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and has plenty to prove for now. Very weak claims on form.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -213%) Peace In The Park	125 125/1(-213%)	(6) Peace In The Park 125/1, Showed improvement from his debut when down the field in a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; may be one for handicaps over further. Pair of duck eggs since switched to hurdles.
7th	4 7th (4) (50/1 -79%) My Boy Beasty	50 50/1(-79%)	(4) My Boy Beasty 50/1, Outpaced and never threatened when unsuited by the sharp track in a maiden hurdle at Warwick most recent; effective at 2m on good to soft ground but may stay further in time. Contrasting efforts; not sure what to expect.
9th	7 9th (7) (25/1 +24%) Valenciaga	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Valenciaga 25/1, May have found the ground too soft when well beaten in an amateurs' bumper at Ffos Las last time; in good form before that and wears a hood for the first time; has a bit to find. Goes hurdling with hood added; bred to do better in this sphere.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 +20%) Night Burlesque	40 40/1(+20%)	(10) Night Burlesque 40/1, Green and failed to build on her debut when down the field in a novice hurdle at Hexham last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface and may need more time. Plenty to find on form; had wind surgery since last run.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (300/1 -20%) Pay Dirt	300 300/1(-20%)	(5) Pay Dirt 300/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; this is his second run since a wind operation and he has yet to show anything of note. No promise in two outings; blinkers added.

GNOMON started life in juvenile bumpers for Ralph Beckett before switching to the Flat and proving to be fairly useful in that sphere, winning twice at Haydock. Now in the care of Toby Lawes for his hurdling bow, he gets the vote to make a successful transition. The booking of Harry Cobden looks significant for Vol Royale, who should appreciate dropping in trip after his fifth at Chepstow. Get In Order appeals most of the remainder.

Interesting hurdles debutant GNOMON gets the vote ahead of Get In Order, who may be capable of improvement.

1	5 1st (5) (5/1 -67%) The Cistercian	5 5/1(-67%)	(5) The Cistercian 5/1, Improved from debut when third, beaten 18l, in a maiden hurdle at Galway last time after a short break. Effective at 2m and his Irish form looks among the best on offer. Every chance on stable debut. Placed in 16-runner Galway maiden in September; can feature on debut for new stable.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/2 -400%) Onefournine	7.5 15/2(-400%)	(7) Onefournine 15/2, Made a very promising debut when winning by 4 1/2l in a maiden at Curraghmore. Off a long absence since and likely more to come under rules. Bought for £170,000 soon after impressive Irish point debut in October 2024; interesting.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/4 +92%) Catch On Me	2.25 9/4(+92%)	(2) Catch On Me 9/4, Needed the run on stable debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Taunton latest after a long layoff. Effective at 2m and handles soft ground. Well treated on these terms based on French form and could bounce back. Placed over hurdles in France; well beaten on British debut in February and not seen since.
4	4 4th (4) (8/1 -100%) Northanger Abbey	8 8/1(-100%)	(4) Northanger Abbey 8/1, Made mistakes but showed promise when fourth, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle at Southwell latest. Effective at 2m and handles soft ground. Brings plenty of potential for a good yard and should improve, though may want further in time. Second in two Irish points last autumn and made quite encouraging hurdle debut last month.
5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 +67%) Caballero Cliff	2 2/1(+67%)	(1) Caballero Cliff 2/1, Ran well to a point but found little when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Newbury last time; had been in good form before that. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Maiden in bumpers but showed high-class form and could win over hurdles soon. Fourth in last season's Champion Bumper and shaped well on recent hurdle debut.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 +0%) Lady Dapple Rose	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Lady Dapple Rose 10/1, Very promising debut here when second, beaten 1l, in a maiden hurdle after going for home early and setting it up for a closer. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Consistent in a short career and can do better if ridden a little more patiently. Displayed clear promise in both bumpers and when second of four over C&D on hurdle debut.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (50/1 -178%) Joe Masseria	50 50/1(-178%)	(3) Joe Masseria 50/1, Never threatened after missing the break when down the field in a Kempton handicap last time; regressive on flat and difficult to fancy. Useful on the Flat in his prime but his third in October came in a low-grade handicap.

ONEFOURNINE won a point-to-point in October 2024 and now makes her Rules debut for a shrewd operation. She could be anything and the market will be particularly interesting, while The Cistercian is another to bear in mind on the back of his Galway third. Northanger Abbey struggled to land a blow at Southwell but his point form behind Real Quartz reads well.

Champion Bumper fourth CABALLERO CLIFF ran well for a long way in a pretty good Newbury maiden hurdle last month and gets the nod.

1	6 1st (6) (9/4 -50%) Tashkhan	2.25 9/4(-50%)	(6) Tashkhan 9/4, Slightly below his current level when finishing down the field in a competitive handicap at Doncaster last time. Very useful on flat at best and suited by testing conditions; the one to beat on hurdle debut. Plenty of Group form on the Flat; doesn't seem the force of old but still respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -50%) Cushendun	12 12/1(-50%)	(3) Cushendun 12/1, Showed greenness and made mistakes but shaped with promise when fourth, beaten 13l, in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective around 2 1/2m on good to soft and should improve a little for that initial experience. Two places behind Kool Raoul over C&D on belated return to action.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 -150%) Kool Raoul	5 5/1(-150%)	(5) Kool Raoul 5/1, Improved for his debut experience when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle here last time. Effective around 2-2 1/2m on soft or good ground; latest form has some knocks but he is progressing. Runner-up in both attempts over hurdles, latest over C&D; solid contender.
4	2 4th (2) (80/1 +20%) Cold Henry	80 80/1(+20%)	(2) Cold Henry 80/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 3l, in a handicap at Catterick last time; has plenty to do here starting out over hurdles. Flat form suggests he brings limited potential to this code.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 -300%) Whiskey On Ice	16 16/1(-300%)	(8) Whiskey On Ice 16/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 4l, in a maiden hurdle at Worcester last time. Returning from a break; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m on good ground and consistent in a short career; remains competitive if handling conditions. Steadily progressive RPRs for Shark Hanlon; one of the main players on hurdles form.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +27%) Knockeranna Rose	16 16/1(+27%)	(4) Knockeranna Rose 16/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 3/4l, in a bumper at Carlisle last time. Returns from a short break and has a chance on hurdle debut. Close second in latest bumper start; out of a 2m3f hurdle winner for his yard.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (1/1 +87%) Union Avenue	1 1/1(+87%)	(7) Union Avenue 1/1, Ran to form when finishing down the field in the Weatherbys Champion Bumper (Grade 1) at Cheltenham last time. Had been in good form prior but has been off for a very long time; danger if fit and ready to go on hurdle debut. Absent since creditable ninth in the 2024 Champion Bumper; leading player on form.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (250/1 -150%) Blue Indigo	250 250/1(-150%)	(1) Blue Indigo 250/1, Made mistakes and showed greenness when below form over a longer trip, comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Kelso last time. Effective at around 2 1/2m and looks one for low-grade handicaps. Weak form claims.

TASHKHAN is a very interesting recruit to the hurdling ranks. Brian Ellison's charge was rated 116 at his best on the Flat and placed in the 2022 Group 1 Prix du Cadran behind a certain Kyprios. If taking to this new discipline, he should take some stopping. Kool Raoul has finished runner-up both here and at Kelso and heads the list of dangers from Whiskey On Ice.

The most talented contenders are the hurdles debutants UNION AVENUE and Tashkhan.

Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls have enjoyed a good start to the campaign with their novice hurdlers, so Jukebox King is worth keeping in mind on his Rules debut after winning a point-to-point in January. Catchintsavo wears a tongue-tie having weakened on his return at Cheltenham and better is expected. The vote, though, goes to Lingfield runner-up CAN YOU HEAR ME. He caught the eye staying on nicely and wouldn't need to improve much to go one better.

Loaded And Locked will be no pushover but LAGUNA BEACH is taken to find the improvement he requires.

SETTLE DOWN JILL might take some stopping in this if she can build on an improved display at Warwick last time. She was outclassed in Grade 2 company at Wincanton but it was much better last time in a handicap and her leading connections appear to have found her a winnable opening. Irish Chorus and Belle Montrose are the main dangers.

This still looks significantly less competitive than the 0-120 contest in which SETTLE DOWN JILL was a creditable third last month.

King Gris boasts every chance coming in here under a penalty for winning at Ayr last week, but preference is for GETAWAY MASTER. Micky Hammond's charge comfortably scored at Carlisle last month and might be able to kick on now for these relatively new connections. He won on heavy ground when trained in Ireland and ticks a lot of boxes. Gege Ville can also make his presence felt.

He's 11lb higher than when winning nine days ago at Ayr but the chances are that KING GRIS is still ahead of the game.

GOLAN LOOP returned with a very solid effort when runner-up on his chase debut at Southwell and it would be no surprise to see him go one better, especially with the Warren Greatrex team in such fine fettle at present. Mahler Moon has been knocking on the door at this venue recently and another bold bid is expected. Others to consider are Masters Legacy and Striking A Pose.

Warren Greatrex has his string in good form and GOLAN LOOP (nap) only narrowly failed on his chase/handicap debut at Southwell.

KICOUR LA made his Rules debut a winning one, and he was most impressive too. Ben Pauling's charge bolted up in a C&D maiden hurdle last month, giving the impression he could quite easily defy a penalty in this company. Hot To Go also has a penalty for winning here on the same card, but he won over 2m. Livingit Du Large boasts winning Chepstow form and is another to note.

Ben Pauling's KICOUR LA created a fairly good impression when winning over C&D on last month's rules debut and looks the one to beat.

MOVEONBUY won at the second time of asking in handicap company at Cartmel in June and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the daughter of Getaway had more to offer off 4lb higher. Wee Alki is likely to be in the mix following his C&D success last month, while the returning Superior Glance and West Lawn, who sports cheekpieces for the first time, appear best of the remainder.

Guernesey can prove competitive but the recent C&D scorer WEE ALKI should have what it takes to negotiate a 5lb rise.

TZARMIX escapes a penalty for winning a conditional jockeys' event at Ludlow last Wednesday and the seven-year-old makes plenty of appeal in his attempt to back that performance up. Ri Na Cuirte went up 4lb for scoring at Exeter last time but has the advantage of his rider being able to utilise his claim on this occasion, so commands respect. Despereaux completes the shortlist.

The main three to concentrate on are TZARMIX, Ri Na Cuirte (second choice) and Despereaux.

THE GOOD DOCTOR finished last of three at Sandown on his return to action last month, but it wasn't a bad run because he was only beaten a length and a half. If he's improved for it, the six-year-old could be the one sporting a first-time visor. Jet Plane is a big player if recapturing the pick of last season's form, while William Cody also warrants respect.

Well handicapped on some of last season's form, THE GOOD DOCTOR (nap) got his career back on track last month and is the suggestion.

Trainer in good form. Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m and may have more to give now he has got his head in front over fences. Penalised for easy win at Ayr but new rider Carl Millar takes away 5lb with his claim.

Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and suited by plenty of cut in the ground. Should build on initial experience. Fair hurdler; not much went right early in the race on chase/handicap debut.

HEEZTHEBOY has improved plenty for stepping up in trip this season with a pair of wide-margin successes here and at Wetherby. Despite returning to 2m4f, Gary Hanmer's gelding doesn't appear to have finished his progression just yet and gets the vote ahead of Truckers Cruising, who has a 7lb penalty for winning at Ayr last week, and Walking On A Dream.

It was fairly easy for TRUCKERS CRUISING (nap) at Ayr and he's effectively only 2lb higher with Carl Millar bringing his 5lb claim.

Noah's Light returned to winning ways at Plumpton in October but that came in a smaller field and he faces a tougher task on this occasion. With that in mind, DANNY'S FRIEND may be able to back up his recent victory here over 2m. That was only his second start over fences and an 8lb rise might not be enough with the step up in trip a potential source of improvement. Jack Doyen and Boys Of Wexford are also noted.

Danny's Friend and MOVE WITH THE BEAT look the two to concentrate on. The latter gets the nod after an encouraging stable debut.

HEAVEN'S WISH was probably unsuited by heavy ground when disappointing at Gowran back in April but has filled the runner-up spot on both outings since reappearing here over 6f. The daughter of Magna Grecia has shown plenty of pace including behind Ballintogher last month, with Woolridge nearly five lengths away in fourth, and the booking of Colin Keane adds to confidence. Woolridge reportedly got upset in the stalls on that occasion and previously went close over C&D, while Astute Power merits respect too.

The filly HEAVEN'S WISH can confirm recent course placings with Woolridge, who is probably her most likely danger.

Richardson seemed to find a new lease of life when scoring twice in February at Chepstow and Bangor but whether he can return in that kind of form remains to be seen. Ten Ten Twenty is also noted, but the vote goes to DANCE RULES. His hurdles form to date wouldn't offer much in terms of encouragement, but the fact he is now owned by Paul Byrne shouldn't be ignored and he could go well on his handicap debut.

The most obvious answer is JEWEL EYED JUDY, who came good with a clearcut C&D win on her recent seasonal debut.

DIXIE COWBOY won on his first try over the larger obstacles at Sedgefield and is likely to step forward from that performance, despite a 5lb rise from the handicapper. Blended Stealth fell early on in the aforementioned contest but had shown promise when runner-up at the same venue prior to that, and has to be worth another chance. Treaty Boy completes the shortlist.

This could be the day for STICK WITH ME SAM to shine. Tom Gretton's charge is having just his second run since wind surgery.

Despite finishing a beaten favourite on handicap/seasonal debut at Leicester, KUPKA VALLIS wasn't at all disgraced and the addition of a tongue-tie may bring about the progression required to get off the mark. Jamaicaine ran with credit when fifth at Fontwell and is expected to build on that, while Masonbrook Meadow and Imperial Pride can fight it out for the minor honours.

Only a handful of these can be seriously considered and KUPKA VALLIS can make her breakthrough.

LOYAL TOUCH won five times on varying ground conditions including twice on the all-weather for Charlie Johnston before joining current connections for just 5,000 guineas this summer. The son of No Nay Never has yet to win beyond 1m2f but has run with credit over this trip and should prove difficult to beat if anywhere near his rating of 86. Denis Hogan is mob-handed with four runners and Benavente, Porsche Lad and Fleetfootsoldier have all enjoyed success at this venue. The market should provide some important clues to their relative merits, while Theophilos holds each-way claims.

Preference is for PORSCHE LAD. A 10.5f handicap winner here last month, he has form at this trip and Colin Keane is a positive booking

Returning from a break and effective from 10f to 12f on the all-weather. Out of form but the drop in trip should help.

LIMESTONE RED gained his only previous victory over this C&D just over two years ago and there are strong grounds for believing the Tracey Collins-trained gelding can score again here. The five-year-old has advertised his claims since returning to the Polytrack and beat all bar Brandon Creek last month, with Rising Sky not enjoying the clearest of passages over two lengths back in seventh. The form of that race has been working out well since and Nicola Burns is again aboard. Heart Of Darkness has been staying on over a mile and now steps up in trip, while Slaney Swagger is another to consider.

Despite having won once in a 24-race career, LIMESTONE RED (nap) makes plenty of appeal. Last month's C&D second was a solid display.

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

Asmeralda and Zupa Trupa are two very interesting newcomers to keep an eye on in this novice heat, but experience may win the day and PIERCHIC can give her rivals weight and a beating. Charlie Appleby's filly improved for her debut third at Wolverhampton and the change of tactics saw her make all in determined fashion at Chelmsford. There should be more to come.

Asmerelda is the pick of the three interesting newcomers but PIERCHIC can defy a penalty and follow up her Chelmsford win.

SPY has been generally consistent under both codes this year and landed a valuable handicap hurdle at Killarney in August. The Charles Byrnes-trained gelding was placed over 1m4f here last month and may be suited by this slight drop back in distance with Billy Lee also an interesting booking. Mapa rates an obvious threat after making an encouraging start on the Polytrack when runner-up to Nibras Rainbow last month, while Marians Gal has been raised 10lb after a decisive C&D win with Colugo over four lengths back in third and Aingeal Dorcha fourth.

This looks like a good opportunity for MAPA to step up after a C&D second that was preceded by an encouraging display at the Curragh.

It will be interesting to see what the market makes of newcomers Twinkle Belle, Nochebuena, Lotus and Botagoz. All of them are respected, but preference is for ARETI, who was a bit disappointing at Newmarket last time but did make a debut full of promise there in October. Beaten just a length and a half into third that day, she's a big player on that form.

The betting can help sort out the newcomers but ARETI should find this easier than the Newmarket events she has been contesting.

GUARDIAN OF REALM has shown plenty of promise when placed on both starts at this venue. The Ger Lyons-trained filly finished well on debut over 7f, and was backed as if defeat was out of the question when runner-up to Sky Watch over C&D last month with Glitter And Glory over a length back in third and Moon Vega fifth. Indomiknow was far from disgraced on debut here last month and should appreciate this step up to a mile, while Blissful Bonita also made a bright start at Thurles. Satisfy My Soul and Mo Mhuirin are two newcomers to keep an eye on for market moves.

Although turned over at prohibitive odds here 19 days ago, GUARDIAN OF REALM probably bumped into a useful horse.

TENBOB TOMMY will surely be winning a race of this nature sooner rather than later judged on recent form. He's finished second on each of his last three outings and is well drawn to get a prominent position early doors. Red Mirage is a C&D winner who must be taken seriously, while Kev might represent some each-way value in this handicap.

The addition of cheekpieces may enable LEXINGTON JET to get off the mark. Tenbob Tommy is second choice.

Royal County Glory and KC BEAR were separated by just half a length when filling the places behind Beau Army over C&D recently. Noel Meade's charge was having his first run in a handicap and didn't enjoy a clear passage early in the straight so further progress can be expected, and the booking of Colin Keane is a bonus. The Right One has shown plenty of pace in maidens and it will be interesting to see how she fares on handicap debut, while there should be little to choose between Coincidental Glory and Pivotal Terms after the pair were placed in a 7f claimer here last month. Plushy and Battleforsupremacy are others to consider.

0.5l separated Royal County Glory and KC BEAR here last time and the latter may be able to turn the tables if getting a clearer run

BECCADELLI should appreciate going back up to 7f on his nursery debut and warrants the utmost respect given his connections and very creditable fourth-placed effort in a Newmarket maiden in September. Galileo Island has experience on his side and has won two of his last three starts, so is another must for the shortlist. Keep an eye on Gorey Gold too.

Beccadelli should be involved but STARLIGHT SAMI, who has shaped nicely over 6f, can improve for the longer distance.

WATCH TOWER has progressed with each start and went close when beaten only a neck over C&D last month. The son of Starspangledbanner is taken to show further improvement and confirm running with Thirsty Owl, who made a promising debut two lengths behind the selection in fourth. Golden Trigger is another to consider in a competitive maiden, while any market support for newcomers Chirac, Goldinthesea and Peachy Canyon would be interesting.

Thirsty Owl shaped nicely behind WATCH TOWER in a C&D maiden three weeks ago but the Lyons colt can confirm the placings.

Look no further than NATION'S HOPE. He looked a potential Group horse when making a sparkling debut over C&D last month and should be well up to giving these rivals weight and a beating, before he goes up in class. Killer Whale will need to improve markedly from his Southwell introduction, so perhaps the battle for second will be between the newcomers Genuine Warrior and Our Guy.

Bright prospect NATION'S HOPE should defy a penalty for his impressive C&D success. Genuine Warrior may prove best of the rest.

11th	15 11th (15) (40/1 +0%) Chica Power	40 40/1(+0%)	(15) Chica Power 40/1, Faded late up in grade when beaten 7l in a claimer here last time; effective at 7f; hard to fancy back in a handicap. Three-time C&D winner, badly out of form in 2025, others appeal more; reserve.

BAMAKO was awarded a 7f Down Royal handicap in the stewards' room back in June before losing the race on appeal and was then absent until reappearing here a fortnight ago when a creditable fifth over a mile. The Andy Oliver-trained gelding finished just over a length behind the consistent Ballymagreehan, but can be expected to progress from that run and should be suited by the drop back to this trip. Drafted has gained all three wins over this distance and remains on a competitive mark following a C&D success, while Jazzy Dancer is another to consider.

A competitive heat. The October C&D scorer DRAFTED has to be considered off 4lb higher.

Completed a turf double in August when last seen; on a difficult mark returned to AW.

COMEDIAN LEADER arrives here on a hat-trick and is difficult to oppose given she's won with plenty in hand on both occasions at Lingfield on the turf. Switching to this track shouldn't inconvenience her either, as she's a previous course scorer, and everything points to a bold showing. Hunky Dory has been knocking on the door and is next best, ahead of Hierarchy.

Bottomweight PRODIGAL SON is taken to get off the mark. Fellow maiden Hunky Dory is second choice.

Stays up to 2m4f on the Flat and acts on the all-weather; fairly treated if at his best. Veteran who arrives on the back of some lacklustre efforts; others look safer.

Effective from 13f to 16f on the all-weather; in fine form and could defy a 7lb rise. Chasing hat-trick after two 1m6f wins on Tapeta; 2m/Polytrack both fine; can't rule out.

Effective from 12f to 16f on the all-weather and may come on for that run. 0-7 but has shown ability at up to 2m; sharper for October's return from a long absence.

There are three last-start winners going to post in this stayers handicap and DANCE TIME might have the edge. She could hardly have been more impressive when scoring over 1m6f at Wolverhampton latest and her supporters will be pleased to see that Rossa Ryan keeps the ride. New York Minute is on a four-timer and won't go down without a fight, likewise Macari.

Berkshire Sundance and NEW YORK MINUTE (nap) appeal most. The selection is thriving and can complete his four-timer.

HOMME DE FER recorded his first career success at Wolverhampton and it came as no surprise on the back of a couple of encouraging placed efforts. Now he's got that winning feeling, he could kick on and make light work of a 5lb penalty. Soar Above is a three-time C&D winner and could easily run into a place here, while My Boy Harry is also noted.

Homme De Fer is on the up but MY BOY HARRY has been in good form since a visor went on and he is marginally preferred.

Effective at 5f to 6f, acts on all-weather and runs without headgear for this comeback. C&D winner 12 months ago; capable at this level but the nine-month absence is a worry.

A competitive finale for punters to solve and just a tentative vote is for THE COLA KID. On the evidence of his latest effort over 7f, the eight-year-old should really appreciate coming back to 6f for this assignment and the quick turnaround (nine days) suggests he's well. Pinjarra won well at Southwell and commands respect, as does Papa Don't Preach.

A trappy race but SOUTHBANK won well here in October and had excuses when only fourth last time. Albert Cee needs a market check.

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.
