12:00 Lingfield (Class 5) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/5 +47%) Marseillan	0.8 4/5(+47%)	(2) Marseillan 4/5, Ideally positioned, improved a fraction in tongue-tie down in trip when second beaten 1/2l in a nursery at Chelmsford latest; blinkers first time; suited by 7f, acts on AW; has been steadily progressive. Placed in three of his four starts; sets a fair standard; blinkers replace cheekpieces.
2	5 2nd (5) (2/1 0%) Eternity's Sunrise	2 2/1(0%)	(5) Eternity's Sunrise 2/1, Not best of runs, promising debut when third beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden at Wolverhampton debut; effective at 6f on AW; should improve upped in trip. Caught the eye when 3rd on his Wolverhampton debut last month; the longer trip should suit.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +17%) Wind Summer	5 5/1(+17%)	(4) Wind Summer 5/1, Had the run of the race and improved when second, beaten a neck, in a novice here last time. Cheekpieces tried for the first time. Bred for 7f and beyond and could progress further once handicapping. Beaten a neck in a slowly run race over 1m here a fortnight ago; cheekpieces on.
4	8 4th (8) (66/1 -100%) La Kosmos	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) La Kosmos 66/1, Didn't find much when well beaten in a novice at Kempton on debut. By a sprinting sire out of a 12f-winning dam; should come on for that first outing. Well held on her Kempton debut; handicaps over further are likely to be her thing.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/1 -29%) Sweep In Time	9 9/1(-29%)	(10) Sweep In Time 9/1, Failed to get home again when beaten 7l in a maiden here last time. Hood applied for the first time. Yet to stay 8f though bred for middle distances; has a bit to prove after two ordinary efforts. Promise on her Kempton debut but pulled too hard here last time; hood on; shortlisted.
6th	1 6th (1) (150/1 -50%) Hove Ranger	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Hove Ranger 150/1, Showed a slightly better effort when not asked a serious question, finishing down the field in a novice at Kempton last time. Bred for 8f and beyond, and looks the type to do better once handicapping. Well beaten in novices at Newbury and Kempton; looks one for handicaps after this.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 -136%) Savvi Row	66 66/1(-136%)	(7) Savvi Row 66/1, Stable won this race last year. Outpaced and produced only a moderate effort when well beaten in a novice at Kempton on debut. Drawn wide; by a sprinting sire but from a dam who stayed 12f, so may need more time. Beat one home on his Kempton debut; probably needs more time.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 +59%) High Boltage	33 33/1(+59%)	(6) High Boltage 33/1, Showed improvement up in trip when beaten 9 1/2l in a novice at Kempton last time. Likely to prefer 7f or 8f and remains open to a little more progress. Little to shout about in his first two starts; modest handicaps beckon.
9th	9 9th (9) (40/1 -233%) Poetic Grace	40 40/1(-233%)	(9) Poetic Grace 40/1, Has yet to show any real signs of ability. Drawn wide and may need more time to develop. Well held in both starts, but she was well backed over C&D last time; watch the market.
10th	3 10th (3) (50/1 -257%) Ten Cuidado	50 50/1(-257%)	(3) Ten Cuidado 50/1, Too free early and well beaten in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time. Drawn wide but effective at 7f on the all-weather; needs to settle to show his best. Ran well on penultimate start and may have had excuses last time; each-way claims.

Having finished a close-up second on his nursery bow at Chelmsford recently, MARSEILLAN has plenty going for him reverting to novice company. Lemos De Souza's gelding should put his experience to good use and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Although Wind Summer is rated 5lb inferior to the selection, he should be in the mix once more. However, a bigger threat may emerge from Eternity's Sunrise, who was a promising third on debut at Wolverhampton last month.

The choice is MARSEILLAN who sets a fair standard following his narrow defeat on nursery debut at Chelmsford 13 days ago.

12:20 Warwick (Class 4) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/1 +44%) Happy And Fine	9 9/1(+44%)	(1) Happy And Fine 9/1, Below form when fourth, beaten 34l, in a handicap chase at Chepstow last time; effective from 2m4f to 2m5f and suited by plenty of cut; form has tailed off this year. On dangerous mark but last win was two years ago and was tailed off last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (17/2 -21%) The Newest One	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(4) The Newest One 17/2, Took a step back from his reappearance when pulled up in a handicap chase at Ascot last time; effective around 3m on a sound surface and currently in moderate form. Veteran who has lost his way and needs a major revival back in trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/2 +0%) Georges Saint	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(5) Georges Saint 13/2, Below form when 20l third in a handicap chase at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and handles heavy or soft ground; better conditions here may help. Should benefit from his reappearance run and he's in the mix off a workable mark.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 +8%) Immortal Fame	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Immortal Fame 11/2, Back to form when fourth, beaten 9 1/2l, in a handicap chase at Lingfield last time; effective from 2m4f to 2m6f on decent ground; the step up in trip is not certain to suit. Only 1lb higher than for his last win and he could be dangerous on this return to 3m.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (7/2 -5%) Kilbarry Hill	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Kilbarry Hill 7/2, Improved on chase debut 7 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Wetherby most recent run; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on any; should come on again. Unexposed over fences and could be a big factor if he gets into a good jumping rhythm.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (11/8 +73%) Catch Catchfire	1.375 11/8(+73%)	(7) Catch Catchfire 11/8, Returned to form back chasing when beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Kelso last time; effective from 3m to 4m on soft or good ground; should cope well with the drop in trip. 2-5 over fences and he went close over hurdles here on his penultimate run; respected.

CATCH CATCHFIRE fell over fences at Carlisle earlier in the year but Ian Williams gave him plenty of time to get over that mishap and he almost rewarded that patience when finishing half-a-length third on his comeback here over timber last month. A decent fifth in the Borders National at Kelso subsequently, he is taken to get back in the winning groove at the expense of Kilbarry Hill and Immortal Fame.

An open race in which the vote goes to CAPTAIN BOUDET, who is 2-5 over fences and was a clear second at Hereford three weeks ago.

12:30 Lingfield (Class 5) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (16/1 -380%) Cryingintherain	16 16/1(-380%)	(5) Cryingintherain 16/1, Improved on a modest debut when beaten 2 1/4l in a novice here last time. Effective at 5f on the all-weather but needs further progress. Out of the frame in her first two starts but probably has a bigger effort in her.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/11 +48%) Hen Party	0.909091 10/11(+48%)	(6) Hen Party 10/11, Probably ran to form despite missing the break when second, beaten 1 1/4l in a novice here last time. Effective at 6/7f, likely to stay further; small but game and consistent performer on the all-weather. Clear of the third when second of five over C&D 16 days ago; sets a fair standard.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +40%) Wild Act	2 2/1(+40%)	(3) Wild Act 2/1, Didn't settle and was well beaten in a maiden at Southwell on only start. Trainer in form and speedily bred; pulled chance away on debut but should do much better if settling with the drop in trip. 4l behind Alpine Culture when fifth on his Southwell debut; needs to settle better.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +47%) Grey Force	4.5 9/2(+47%)	(2) Grey Force 9/2, 3 Feb; Blue Point colt; dam very smart at 5-7f, winning at Listed level; fails from a good yard and could easily have a say in this on debut. Market support would be significant as this doesn't look a deep race.
5th	7 5th (7) (100/1 -400%) No Drama Mama	100 100/1(-400%)	(7) No Drama Mama 100/1, Had a poor draw and was caught a long way back when beaten 7l in a novice at Southwell on debut. Hood applied for the first time; distances around 8f should suit this big filly who may need more time. Ninth on her Southwell debut; hood on, but stable may field a stronger candidate elsewhere.
6th	4 6th (4) (50/1 +0%) Anaba Girl	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Anaba Girl 50/1, 1 May; Mayson filly; full-sister to Stone Soldier, smart at 7f; dam smart at 8f at 2yo; tough enough task on debut. Something to like on pedigree and market should be revealing.

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

Alpine Culture displayed enough ability on his opening fourth at Southwell earlier this month to suggest that he can get involved at this level. A drop in distance could suit the son of Showcasing and he's not taken lightly, but HEN PARTY looks the one to beat. Ed Dunlop's filly has hit the frame on her last three outings and compensation could be imminent. Market support for newcomer Grey Force would be interesting.

The vote goes to HEN PARTY who sets a fair standard, especially on her second of five over C&D 16 days ago.

12:35 Punchestown 23f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +33%) Argento Boy	5 5/1(+33%)	(1) Argento Boy 5/1, Stable has won three of the last ten renewals; fell in a beginners' chase here last time when well fancied. Effective at 3m and handles yielding and heavy ground. Inconsistent over hurdles but likely to progress over fences. Looked vulnerable when falling four out in race in which Ballygunner Castle was second.
2	9 2nd (9) (28/1 -12%) Pray Tell	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Pray Tell 28/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time. Grade 3 winner over hurdles. Returns from a short break and must bounce back switched to fences. 131-rated hurdler, latecomer to chasing, making debut on the eve of official 10th birthday.
3	4 3rd (4) (66/1 -100%) Da Capo Glory	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Da Capo Glory 66/1, Pulled up in a beginners' chase here last time. Useful handicap hurdler at his best. Effective at around 2 1/2m and may need more time to develop over fences. Useful hurdler at his best, jumped badly and pulled up at this venue on chasing debut.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 -65%) Built By Ballymore	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Built By Ballymore 33/1, Down the field in a beginners' chase at Naas on his return from a long layoff. Effective around 2 1/2m and suited by soft ground. Longer trip could help; yet to match his useful hurdles form but likely to find his level in handicaps. Well held in three chase starts at up to 2m4f, plenty to prove, lacks a recent outing.
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 +34%) My Trump Card	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) My Trump Card 33/1, Stable won this race last year; outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a beginners' chase at Navan last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, and the step up in trip may help in time. 134-rated hurdler, not at the same level as a chaser, needs to brush up his jumping.
6th	6 6th (6) (100/1 -52%) Hello Jack	100 100/1(-52%)	(6) Hello Jack 100/1, Stable won this race last year; pulled up in a beginners' chase at Naas last time following a short break. Effective around 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Needs a drop in class. Placed over hurdles, struggled on chase debut at Galway, huge price when pulled up at Naas.
7th	10 7th (10) (40/1 -21%) Prophet's Corner	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Prophet's Corner 40/1, Never put into the race and comfortably held in a beginners' chase here last time. Effective around 3m and acts on soft ground; looks one for handicaps over fences. Four wins in points, course hurdles winner, tailed off here when Ballygunner Castle second.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/1 +59%) Goraibhmaithagat	9 9/1(+59%)	(5) Goraibhmaithagat 9/1, Outpaced and not given a hard race when well beaten in a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse last time. Likely to want at least 2 1/2m and should progress over fences when stepped up in trip and ridden more positively. Fair fifth on chasing debut, failed to build on that at Fairyhouse, may need more time.
11	11 \|B\| (11) (6/5 -44%) Slade Steel	1.2 6/5(-44%)	(11) Slade Steel 6/5, Improved back from a break under a positive ride when second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a beginners' chase at Navan last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m; a classy novice hurdler who won at the top level, not as fluent over fences but in form and should win soon. 2024 Supreme Novices winner, second all three starts over fences, should win if he stays.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (15/8 +25%) Ballygunner Castle	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(2) Ballygunner Castle 15/8, Stable has won three of the last ten runnings; made a very promising debut when second, beaten 1 1/2l by a race-fit rival in a beginners' chase here last time. Effective from 2m to 3m and should improve with experience; likely to win soon over fences. Creditable second in an event in which Argento Boy fell, Paul Townend sticks with him..

LTO Selection:

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE was a useful novice hurdler and finished second to a promising type on his chase debut here earlier in the month. A lot of Willie Mullins' runners have been coming on for their their first run of the campaign and the Soldier Of Fortune gelding is likely to be hard to beat. Slade Steel won last year's Supreme Novices' Hurdle and has been runner-up on all three starts over fences. He was beaten by a Mullins-trained rival on his reappearance at Navan and steps up to 3m for the first time since winning a point-to-point. Argento Boy, another Mullins inmate, fell when favourite for the race in which the selection was second here and has to be respected.

A point winner at the outset of his career, the 2024 Supreme Novices' winner SLADE STEEL will be hard to beat if he stays

12:43 Uttoxeter (Class 3) 19f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (15/8 +0%) John Barbour	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(3) John Barbour 15/8, Won by 3 1/4l off an 8lb lower mark here on his penultimate start; ran to form when second, beaten 3l off 118 last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good; in form and remains competitive. C&D winner; another good run at Leicester last time on soft ground perhaps not ideal.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/10 +37%) Woodland Park	1.1 11/10(+37%)	(4) Woodland Park 11/10, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Leicester last time; effective from 2m to 2m5f and acts on soft and good to soft; consistent and should be thereabouts again. Has come up short in both his handicaps but ran well and should be bang there.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +0%) Catch On Me	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Catch On Me 5/1, Ran to form when 16l third in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time; effective at 2m and acts with cut; may ideally want this bit further but should go well. Beaten in two maidens for this yard but unexposed now handicapping back up in trip.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 +18%) Menaggio	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) Menaggio 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Kempton last time; visor fitted for the first time; trainer in form and the horse has been out of form for some time. Nothing to show for three runs for current yard and headgear would appear a cry for help.
5th	1 5th (1) (20/1 -25%) Pyramid Place	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Pyramid Place 20/1, Too free when stepped up in trip and failed to stay, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time; off a short break; effective at 2 1/2m; out of form in 2025 over hurdles and best watched now chasing for a new yard. Perhaps didn't stay the 3m last time at Aintree but now has questions to answer.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 +38%) Galassian	10 10/1(+38%)	(6) Galassian 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time; didn't take to chasing; returning from a long layoff and has a bit to find. Maiden hurdle winner; not the best of starts over fences last season (B7P); wind op since.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (50/1 -150%) Prince Imperial	50 50/1(-150%)	(2) Prince Imperial 50/1, Outpaced and disappointing on stable debut, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time; off a short break; suited by good ground but the handicapper may be catching up. Ex-Olly Murphy; 100-1 for a Cheltenham handicap on stable debut and ran accordingly.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (80/1 -186%) Rock On Cassie	80 80/1(-186%)	(8) Rock On Cassie 80/1, Ran poorly when upped in class and well beaten in a beginners chase at Clonmel last time; fair mark on old Irish hurdle form; absent for a very lengthy period and bit to prove. Regressed for Gordon Elliott and makes stable debut after a mammoth absence.

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

It might be worth chancing CATCH ON ME, a French recruit who is now sent handicapping for the first time by Venetia Williams following his latest Leicester third in a maiden hurdle. He could be well treated off 112 and prove too good for John Barbour, who has improved since entering the handicap ranks. Woodland Park is another to take seriously.

With JOHN BARBOUR and Woodland Park so closely matched it's hard to be confident about the outcome but they may dominate.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (3/1 +73%) Indannya	3 3/1(+73%)	(8) Indannya 3/1, Showed promise on rules debut when 3l third in a novice hurdle at Wincanton last time; effective at 2m5f on good to soft ground and has more to come. Promising third in sole point and was placed on hurdling debut at Wincanton; shortlisted.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -100%) Fresh As A Daisy	4.5 9/2(-100%)	(1) Fresh As A Daisy 9/2, Yard won this last year; too keen, bit below form under penalty dropped in trip when 8 1/4l third in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f on Hy, G; should come on for reappearance. Uttoxeter winner (2m4f) and she could resume her progress on this step back up in trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 -157%) Pismo Beach	4.5 9/2(-157%)	(2) Pismo Beach 9/2, Returned to form appreciating a stiffer test when fourth, beaten 7l, in a Cheltenham handicap hurdle last time; usually held up, effective around 2m4f on good to soft or good ground, and still has potential. Ran well from out of weights in Class 2 handicap at Cheltenham; key player back in novice.
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 -47%) Country Mouse	11 11/1(-47%)	(6) Country Mouse 11/1, Raced lazily and had too much to do when 10l third in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time; effective from 2m to 2m5f and likely to appreciate the longer trip. Promising third at Ludlow (2m5f) two weeks ago and has claims if she can build on that.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 -13%) Katie's Melody	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) Katie's Melody 9/1, Modest debut when second, beaten 24l, in a novice hurdle at Exeter last time; effective from 2m to 3m, acts on soft or good ground, and could improve for her new yard over hurdles. Point/bumper winner who ran into a smart prospect on hurdling debut at Exeter; dangerous.
6th	11 6th (11) (50/1 +0%) Noble Grace	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Noble Grace 50/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time; trainer in form, effective at 2m on good ground, and looks the type to do better when handicapping. Went close in sole bumper but she's been well held in both hurdle runs this season.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -56%) Camshaft	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Camshaft 25/1, 24,000 euros Shirocco filly; dam a point winner and sister to the useful hurdler Thebarrowman; respected on debut for a good yard. 24,000euros 3yo; yard is in good form and she needs watching in market on debut.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (11/2 +35%) Coolkatie	5.5 11/2(+35%)	(5) Coolkatie 11/2, Some promise on debut when 17l fourth in a novice hurdle at Lingfield first-time out; effective at 2m on GS; should improve upped in trip. Never involved on Lingfield debut but she's a possible improver on this step up in trip.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (28/1 -100%) Ballynorth	28 28/1(-100%)	(3) Ballynorth 28/1, Green and made mistakes, finishing tired when 18l third in a novice hurdle at Fontwell last time; effective over 3m in points and, having been well fancied on debut, should progress. Disappointing on hurdling debut at Fontwell but that was on heavy ground after an absence.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (250/1 -213%) Flight Of Fable	250 250/1(-213%)	(7) Flight Of Fable 250/1, Again ran to only a moderate level when finishing down the field in a mares' bumper here last time; faces a difficult task. Big prices and finished tailed off in two bumpers; best watched on hurdling debut.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (250/1 -150%) Rose Of The Shires	250 250/1(-150%)	(13) Rose Of The Shires 250/1, Poor rules debut when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon last time; cheekpieces on for the first time and best watched for now over hurdles. Has struggled in a bumper and a novice hurdle; cheekpices are now added at this new trip.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (300/1 -200%) One Cool Mix	300 300/1(-200%)	(12) One Cool Mix 300/1, Poor debut, well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon on only start; difficult to make a case for. Struggled at a massive price on this month's debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft).

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

Competitive stuff and just a tentative vote is for FRESH AS A DAISY representing the powerful Nicky Henderson yard. She won on her hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and can leave behind a mediocre Bangor performance now going back up in trip on better ground. Pismo Beach, Country Mouse and point-to-point/bumper scorer Katie's Melody are others to keep a close eye on.

Several have claims but PISMO BEACH sets the standard and she gets the vote ahead of Fresh As A Daisy and Katie's Melody.

1	1 1st (1) (10/11 +39%) Lord Harcourt	0.909091 10/11(+39%)	(1) Lord Harcourt 10/11, Plenty to do, improved on sharper track ridden with more restraint in landing a handicap by a head off a 4lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, suited by fast ground, acts on AW; still on a very workable mark. Beat Akabusi by a head over C&D last time; 2lb worse off but won with a little bit in hand.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +20%) Akabusi	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Akabusi 4/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back; ran to form latest; effective at 6f, acts on a sound surface; blinkers key, seems game and reliable in them. Beaten a head by Lord Harcourt over C&D last time and 2lb better off; a player.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -50%) Up The Agenda	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Up The Agenda 6/1, Used tactical speed to advantage and probably improved a fraction in landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on GS, GF and AW; versatile, on an upward curve. 3-4 in nurseries, the last two wins at Newcastle; this is a totally different type of test.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -56%) Alasrae	14 14/1(-56%)	(4) Alasrae 14/1, Faded really badly for no obvious reason when beaten 6 1/4l in a nursery at Southwell last time; in good form prior; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface; usually consistent but bit to prove after latest. Looked a bit unfortunate at Kempton on penultimate start, but ran poorly last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 +19%) Mighty Vega	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(6) Mighty Vega 13/2, Just about stayed up in trip when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective at 6f, only just gets 7f, acts on AW; useful mark still. Won over 6f at Kempton, but didn't stay 7f there last time; each-way claims back in trip.
6th	5 6th (5) (66/1 -100%) Fermain	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Fermain 66/1, Mark probably too stiff beaten 5l in a nursery here last time; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; badly handicapped. Has failed to beat a rival in last two starts, the latest over C&D; best watched for now.
7th	7 7th (7) (20/1 -264%) Guernsey Lady	20 20/1(-264%)	(7) Guernsey Lady 20/1, Bit too free but ran to form when fourth beaten 4l in a nursery at Chelmsford latest; visor first time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on a sound surface; mark quite competitive. Relatively exposed and needs to improve for the visor back from three months off.

Up The Agenda continued his upward trajectory when completing a double at Newcastle 18 days ago and a 4lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, LORD HARCOURT's breakthrough victory over C&D earlier this month could prove to be stronger form, with the third subsequently scoring on Boxing Day. Ed Walker's inmate is slightly more compelling and further glory may be imminent. Reopposing runner-up Akabusi must also enter calculations.

Just a head separated LORD HARCOURT (nap) and Akabusi over C&D last time, but the less exposed winner is taken to score again.

1	12 1st (12) (3/1 +33%) Sammy Smart	3 3/1(+33%)	(12) Sammy Smart 3/1, Forced to switch and had too much to do behind a well-handicapped, race-fit rival when beaten 1½l off a 6lb lower mark at Thurles last time. Effective 3m and acts on good ground; latest form strong and hurdles mark looks generous. Clear of the third when second to a well-handicapped horse on seasonal debut, good chance.
2	14 2nd (14) (7/1 +22%) Three In A Row	7 7/1(+22%)	(14) Three In A Row 7/1, Travelled but failed to find much when well beaten in a handicap chase at Clonmel latest. Effective 2½m and suited by cut though inconsistent overall. Beaten 7l in fourth behind the same owner's Crecora Hills at Naas, out of the money since.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 -60%) Crecora Hills	4 4/1(-60%)	(5) Crecora Hills 4/1, Travelled strongly and did it easily when improving up in trip back from a break to land a Naas handicap by 5l off an 11lb lower mark. Effective over 2½m and acts with cut; progressing and may have more to offer at middle to staying trips. Winning favourite at Naas on seasonal debut, fair chance of defying 11lb rise.
4	6 4th (6) (4/1 +33%) Big Stage	4 4/1(+33%)	(6) Big Stage 4/1, Forced to switch and ran to current form down in trip on ground more testing than ideal when fourth, beaten 14l, in a Navan handicap chase latest. Effective 2–2½m and suited by decent ground; inconsistent but fairly treated on best spring form and yard flying. Now 0-11 over fences after Navan fourth, stable's brilliant form is the main positive.
5th	10 5th (10) (8/1 +0%) Casey West	8 8/1(+0%)	(10) Casey West 8/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces on easy ground when beaten 3l off a 2lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time. Effective 2½m and best with cut; not one to rely on for back-to-back efforts. Hunter chase winner, comes into reckoning following an improved display at Fairyhouse.
6th	1 6th (1) (12/1 -60%) Born Braver	12 12/1(-60%)	(1) Born Braver 12/1, Never put into the race and found the ground too testing when down the field in a beginners' chase at Navan last time. Effective over 2½–3m and looks one for handicaps over fences off what looks generous mark based on hurdle form. Hard to assess on form in beginners' chases, may now find his level in handicap company.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +20%) Dont Tell Jack	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Dont Tell Jack 16/1, Never competitive after being badly hampered early when down the field in a beginners' chase at Navan most recent. Effective 2½m and looks one for staying handicaps over fences but threat if getting stiff test. Weak form in two races over fences, owner seems to have two others with a better chance.
8th	16 8th (16) (50/1 -52%) North Of Nashville	50 50/1(-52%)	(16) North Of Nashville 50/1, Modest effort when 9l third in a mares' race at Lisronagh most recent start. Off a short break and needs to prove ability remains after lay off. Won over 3m1f in 2023, ran only once last year, should be better for a point-to-point run.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 +0%) Attaboyarchie	25 25/1(+0%)	(11) Attaboyarchie 25/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse latest just before race developed. Effective 2½m and can do better based on previous hurdle form. 22-race maiden, limited chasing experience, nothing to suggest a breakthrough is imminent.
10th	15 10th (15) (28/1 +15%) Bocelli's Voice	28 28/1(+15%)	(15) Bocelli's Voice 28/1, Made mistakes and below form when well beaten in a handicap chase at Thurles latest. Off a short break; effective 2½m though form trending the wrong way. Won a beginners' chase at Wexford in 2024, mostly ordinary form since then, up against it.
11th	2 11th (2) (50/1 -52%) Walnut Beach	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Walnut Beach 50/1, Did plenty early on ground a bit more testing than ideal when well beaten in a handicap chase here latest. Effective 2–2½m but inconsistent. Soundly beaten in two runs over fences this season, down 11lb from career-high mark.
12th	8 12th (8) (25/1 -150%) Fenway Park	25 25/1(-150%)	(8) Fenway Park 25/1, Outpaced, needed the run and not knocked about when well beaten in a beginners' chase at Naas latest. Blinkers first time; usually held up; effective 2½m and acts on good ground; yet to match hurdle form and probably one for handicaps. Course winner over hurdles, modest chase form, handicap debut off 12lb below hurdles mark.
13th	13 13th (13) (14/1 +44%) Silver King	14 14/1(+44%)	(13) Silver King 14/1, Fell in a handicap chase at Wexford latest after a short break. Effective 2–2½m but out of form this year and may still need this run. Sole win over hurdles was at this venue in January 2024, otherwise hard to make a case.
14th	4 14th (4) (28/1 -40%) Hardwired	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Hardwired 28/1, Made a bit too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kilbeggan last time. Effective 2–3m and acts on good ground but best with some cut; unreliable though fairly treated on best form. Three-time course winner, latest win was here in June, next run may have come too soon.
15th	9 15th (9) (18/1 +18%) Don't Talk	18 18/1(+18%)	(9) Don't Talk 18/1, Made too much use of and needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recent. Effective 2–2½m and acts on heavy and good ground; fair mark on chase form but unreliable. Gained back-to-back wins in January; huge improvement needed from a Cork hurdles outing.
16th	3 16th (3) (28/1 -40%) Noble Talent	28 28/1(-40%)	(3) Noble Talent 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Gowran Park latest after a short break. Effective over 2½m and acts on soft and good ground, though form remains in and out. Poor fifth in this race last year, pulled up in his last two races, hard to be confident.

LTO Selection:

A course winner over hurdles, SAMMY SMART was a fine second on his handicap chase debut at Thurles last month. The winner followed up on his next outing and is now rated 30lb higher than when the selection came up against him. Trainer Tom Gibney has had a couple of horses run well in recent days and the Kalanisi gelding looks set to go close under his capable 5lb claimer. Crecora Hills had Three In A Row back in fourth when a well-backed winner at Naas and may be progressive enough to confirm that form despite a 12lb swing in the weights. Casey West bounced back to form when second at Fairyhouse and has to enter calculations as well.

This looks like a fine opportunity for SAMMY SMART (nap) who ran up against a well-treated opponent at Thurles in his first handicap

Should be effective from 2m to 2m4f but needs more to get off the mark. Latest fourth of seven at Exeter was encouraging and he has scope for improvement.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 -64%) Glengolly	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(7) Glengolly 9/2, Won easily, improving on his second start after a wind operation when landing a handicap by 7½l off a 7lb lower mark at Hereford last time. Trainer in form; effective from 2m4f to 2m7f on soft or good to soft ground and back in form after the wind operation. Won easily in the new tongue-tie at Hereford and he looks to have turned a corner.
3	4 3rd (4) (4/1 -14%) La Higuera	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) La Higuera 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l by a progressive rival who got first run off a 1lb lower mark at Haydock last time. Effective from 2m3f to 3m on soft or good ground and could have more to offer in handicaps. Good run at Haydock last time behind an Irish raider who was ahead of his mark.
4	10 4th (10) (9/1 +10%) Donttellyamumjack	9 9/1(+10%)	(10) Donttellyamumjack 9/1, Showed small improvement when third, beaten 30l, in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen most recently. Effective from 2m to 2m5f on good to soft ground, and longer trips could suit now handicapping. Could take a big step forward now up in trip off a lowly mark on handicap debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 +20%) Sandscape	8 8/1(+20%)	(3) Sandscape 8/1, Possibly outstayed late by unexposed rivals when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time.

Usually held up but form has tailed off slightly over fences recently. Potentially on a good mark for this return to hurdles and a visor is tried.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 -100%) Coventry	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) Coventry 28/1, Made mistakes and may have run again too soon when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hexham last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m. A tricky ride and not one to rely on to build on his recent revival. Won an Irish maiden hurdle in 2021; beaten in loads of handicaps and now 1-39 overall.

Had every chance but finished below form when fourth, beaten 31l, in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m on any ground but yet to fire since returning from a break this autumn. Fairly treated on winning form over hurdles/fences but not in great form recently.
9th	13 9th (13) (40/1 +39%) Elfride	40 40/1(+39%)	(13) Elfride 40/1, Found little when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time. Effective around 2m4f on soft ground but appears regressive. The defeats have racked up since winning over C&D in May 2023; hasn't been running well.

Was in good form beforehand. Effective at 3m on good to soft or good ground. Well treated on old form but on a long losing run. Without a win since March 2021 and into veteran stage; tailed off at Catterick recently.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (6/1 +0%) Superior Glance	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Superior Glance 6/1, Quickened clear but was caught late by race-fit rivals, possibly going for home too soon, when beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Hexham last time. Effective at 3m and prefers soft ground. Running into form and should come on for the latest run. Has very low mileage for 10yo and was only 2l away under a positive ride at Hexham latest.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (8/1 -33%) Farmer Jimmy	8 8/1(-33%)	(2) Farmer Jimmy 8/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 5¼l, in a handicap hurdle at Catterick last time.

Signed off for Olly Murphy on a downer and no sign of a revival on stable debut last month.

Bollin Thou might represent a bit of each-way value with Sean Bowen in the plate, while chances are also given to La Higuera and Farmer Jimmy. However, the verdict is for GLENGOLLY. He wasn't without his supporters when coming good at Hereford recently and the gut feeling is there is a lot more to come from the six-year-old. Gavin Sheehan is back in the saddle and a bold showing looks assured.

The horse who beat LA HIGUERA (nap) at Haydock was third in a big field at Leopardstown on Sunday, so that looks strong form.

It will be interesting if there is money for Madajovy given his connections and now he goes up in trip for his handicap bow. Huntingdon winner A Good Yomp is another to bear in mind, but the verdict is for WISTMANS PRINCE. He stepped up courtesy of an improved Hereford fourth last time out and this could be the time to catch him.

This looks tricky but it might be worth sticking with A GOOD YOMP, who got off the mark with a brave win at Huntingdon last month.

CLEARPOINT has proved a revelation since being ridden more positively and a four-timer could be on the cards. The five-year-old is only 4lb higher than his latest triumph at Wolverhampton and may still be a step ahead of the assessor. Baldomero has scored on two of his last three outings and is likely to be in the thick of the action once more, with Almaty Star the pick of the remainder.

The choice is dual C&D winner CLEARPOINT who often likes to get on with it, but has shown that he doesn't need to lead in order to win.

The son of Camelot was decent on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien and, given that he won a handicap over an extended 1m6f on testing ground at Listowel, he could have plenty to offer in this discipline. Mino Des Mottes looks an obvious contender on Irish debut for Willie Mullins. He was a handy winner on the Flat in July in his native France and is sure to be well schooled for his jumping debut. He looks the sort of recruit the champion trainer does so well with. Wackestone has improved on each of his three runs over hurdles and is likely to be in the thick of the action.

From the stable that dominated Ireland's Christmas schedule, WACKESTONE gets the vote to make his hurdling experience count

Effective at around 2m4f and handles soft ground. Should improve for the step up in trip and is respected. Promise on both hurdle starts and the step up in trip may help; he's one to consider.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/5 -47%) Inishcorker	2.2 11/5(-47%)	(3) Inishcorker 11/5, The yard won this race last year. Improved under a positive ride when 7 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle at Haydock last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and handles soft and good to soft. Improving under rules and should remain competitive. Runner-up at Ffos Las; failed to build on that at Haydock but still firmly in calculations.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 -60%) Firm But Fair	4 4/1(-60%)	(5) Firm But Fair 4/1, Made a very promising debut when second, beaten 7 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Effective over 3m and should be capable of winning a maiden soon. Runner-up on hurdle debut at Bangor and he's in good hands to improve.
4	1 4th (1) (12/1 +25%) Arctic Conditions	12 12/1(+25%)	(1) Arctic Conditions 12/1, Improved up in trip and wasn't given a hard time late after the rider dropped the whip when 18l third in a novice hurdle at Chepstow last time. Trainer in form. Yet to find ideal conditions but may do better in handicaps in time. Has shown ability but he'll probably be of greater interest when tackling handicaps.

INISHCORKER was well fancied for a maiden hurdle at Haydock last time out and could only manage third, but this doesn't look as competitive and Rebecca Curtis' charge is well worth another chance. The point-to-point winner gets the nod ahead of Lon Chaney, who finished second at Leicester and should be improving. Firm But Fair is best of the rest.

Preference is for INISHCORKER. He was a tad underwhelming at Haydock but holds leading claims nevertheless.

Unexposed 6yo but she needs a transformation on this switch to chasing.

Having romped home when completing a double at Market Rasen last month, Pescatorius merits respect in his hat-trick bid. However, a 9lb hike from the assessor could leave the six-year-old vulnerable and it may pay to look elsewhere on his stable debut. NORTHERN AIR has proved expensive to follow in two outings for Dan Skelton, but she lurks on a dangerous mark and the introduction of cheekpieces could prove fruitful. Fontwell third Koenigsstern is next best.

Preference is for the hat-trick seeking PESCATORIUS, who had plenty in hand last time and is open to more progress for his new yard.

Last-time-out winners Nebras and Duke's Command merit respect in their current fettle, but the ratings suggest that improvement will be needed on this step into Listed company. With that in mind, the 108-rated TYRRHENIAN SEA could be the way to go. Roger Varian's veteran arrives on the back of a good third over 1m at Kempton and he looks ready for a return to this trip.

It's hard to get away from TYRRHENIAN SEA who won this race in 2023 and finished second last year.

Fell in the Champion Chase (Grade 1) here last time when looked huge threat; top class chaser has had jumping issues in that sphere; effective 2m but will go close if stamina holds up A superb 2m novice chaser at his peak, plagued by jumping frailties, this test could suit.

Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and suited by softer ground; expected to come on for that run after a short break and well treated on these terms on chase form. High-class chaser, didn't exploit 33lb lower hurdles mark in a handicap at Naas last month.

Made mistakes and was outpaced when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Gowran Park last time. A Grade 3 winner over hurdles who enjoys cut. Returns from a short break and may appreciate further in time. Won a 2m Grade 3 over 2m at Gowran in February 2024, needs to find her form again.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/5 -44%) Ballyadam	3.6 18/5(-44%)	(2) Ballyadam 18/5, Won this race last year. Showed promise when 3l third in a maiden at Dundalk on latest flat start. Best around 2 1/2m and a consistent veteran hurdler who placed in Coral Cup in spring; big player Smart hurdler, three wins and twice placed in the Coral Cup, has warmed up with an AW run.

Returning from a long layoff. Yard does well with similar types but likely to need this. Five wins in France, faces a big task at these weights and lacks a recent outing.

Formerly very useful novice hurdler. Strong in the betting despite a lengthy absence but remains hard to recommend. Two Flat wins in 2020 for Andre Fabre; highly tried by Willie Mullins, off since June 2023.

LTO Selection:

EL FABIOLO, who has so much class, has to be given maximum respect back over the smaller obstacles. He's returning to action having fallen in three of his last four high-class chases and should enjoy this assignment. He's two from three at Punchestown including in a novice hurdle. Ballyadam placed in the last two renewals of the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and looks a big player in his bid for back-to-back victories. Glen Kiln is another who commands respect, while Martin Brassil's French-import Ain't Got Wings is worth a market check. Spillane's Tower should come on from an unplaced effort on seasonal reappearance in Naas.

A satisfactory run on the AW at Dundalk should have helped to sharpen BALLYADAM for his bid to repeat last year's win in this event

Eric Carmen appeared revitalised by a 277-day layoff when romping home over 2m4f here earlier this month. However, the combination of an 11lb hike in the ratings and return to 2m may find the nine-year-old out and it could be worth chancing handicap debutant KENZOKO. The five-year-old shaped encouragingly on his latest sixth over C&D and an opening mark of 100 looks workable. Last month's Doncaster scorer Postponed Legacy may give the selection most to think about.

This looks open. POSTPONED LEGACY can race freely but he won at Doncaster last time and now has Harry Atkins taking off 7lb.

HARRY BRIGHT built on a promising fifth-placed handicap bow at Wincanton when filling the runner-up spot at Market Rasen earlier this month. A further step up in distance looks ideal for the son of Milan and a breakthrough victory may be on the cards. Getaway Theatre was narrowly denied over a furlong shorter here 42 days ago and could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Kaituna River.

Top of the list is SEATOIT, who went close on his handicap debut at Ffos Las and is open to more progress at this new trip.

4	12 4th (12) (7/1 +42%) Rockymountainbleu	7 7/1(+42%)	(12) Rockymountainbleu 7/1, Flattened out late but ran to form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and generally consistent. C&D maiden hurdle winner, ran well here in October (gd-yld), may need quicker ground.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 -20%) Theflyingbee	6 6/1(-20%)	(8) Theflyingbee 6/1, Returned to form down in grade, appreciating the stiff track and drop in trip when beaten 2 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Navan. Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m, acts on any ground, though her form can be in and out. Form of latest second at Navan franked, has won at this trip, go well again off 2lb higher.
6th	1 6th (1) (18/1 -200%) Klass Langy	18 18/1(-200%)	(1) Klass Langy 18/1, Outpaced and unable to go the gallop when unsuited by a drop in trip on stable debut, finishing down the field in a Cheltenham handicap chase. Hurdles and chase winner in France. Top course trainer, but has a bit to find on these terms. French chase winner, disappointing stable debut, may have needed that, can do better.
7th	9 7th (9) (13/2 +74%) Boher Road	6.5 13/2(+74%)	(9) Boher Road 13/2, Made too much use of and probably needed the race when down the field in the Irish Cesarewitch at The Curragh. Returns from a long absence; enjoys racing prominently but needs to prove ability remains. Wexford maiden hurdle winner in 2023, off since September 2024, watch unless market speaks.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 -106%) Cafe Con Leche	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Cafe Con Leche 33/1, Won by a nose off a 6lb lower mark at Cork two runs ago but was disappointing off his revised mark on testing ground when tenth, beaten 24l off 118 last time. Trainer in form; effective from 12f to 20f, acts on heavy and good ground; consistent on the flat but less reliable over hurdles. Raised 6lb for Cork win on penultimate, struggled over C&D latest, needs to rebound.
9th	6 9th (6) (22/1 -144%) Thornleigh Frank	22 22/1(-144%)	(6) Thornleigh Frank 22/1, Keen and needed the run when running well for a long way before being comfortably held in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle. Effective around 2 1/2m on decent ground; was progressive before a layoff and could be running back into form. Only seen twice since last win in 2023, may have needed the run latest, place shout.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (7/2 +22%) Sommesky	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Sommesky 7/2, Ran to form but tired up the hill on return when comfortably held in the Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Naas. That form has been franked. Off a short break; effective around 2 1/2m and consistent, though his mark demands more. Limerick maiden hurdle winner, likely to improve for handicap debut latest, chance.
10th	5 10th (5) (16/1 +60%) No Looking Back	16 16/1(+60%)	(5) No Looking Back 16/1, Pulled up in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle on latest start. Effective from 2m to 2 1/4m and acts on any ground, but has been out of form since a layoff. No win since Grade 2 success in 2022, pulled up on latest, risky proposition.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (50/1 -100%) Toto Too	50 50/1(-100%)	(3) Toto Too 50/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap at The Curragh last time. Off a short break and form tailed off in both codes. Best hurdles form at around 2m-2m1f, not much impact on Flat this year, others more solid.

LTO Selection:

KLASS LANGY has plenty of notable form in France and could go well with Hugh Horgan taking 5lb off his back. He actually went off favourite on stable debut for a valuable handicap chase at Cheltenham last month and the return to hurdles might aid his cause. San Hilario is on a dangerous weight for the red-hot team of Gordon Elliott and Jack Kennedy. The form of Theflyingbee's runner-up berth in Navan received a significant boost when the winner followed up at Leopardstown over Christmas. Theflyingbee's two victories came over similar trips to this one, while A Dream To Share is likely to put it all together over flights sooner rather than later.

Narrow preference is for THEFLYINGBEE who bumped into a handicap blot at Navan last time

Had wind op since quiet stable debut over hurdles; unexposed and Bowen is booked.

KALHANDRION proved a different proposition when making a winning chase/seasonal debut at Huntingdon last month. A 6lb higher mark looks fair given how far the selection and runner-up pulled clear of the third and a double may beckon. Il Va De Soi should have learned plenty from his first attempt over fences when hitting the frame at Bangor 49 days ago and isn't taken lightly easing in class, with Genietoile boasting a similar profile.

An interesting race that will take some winning. JACQUES CLOUSEAU brings plenty of potential into his chase career.

STICK WITH ME SAM is the one to beat. He was fancied to go well at Hexham three weeks ago and didn't disappoint, running away from his rivals to score by eight lengths. Should he arrive here in similar form, the others are likely playing for second. Youdecide is the pick of them for the in-form Ben Pauling team, while Hawk Stone is also noteworthy.

This can go to STICK WITH ME SAM (nap) who won in emphatic style at Hexham and still looks feasibly treated off his revised mark.

LADY MANZOR is one of just two C&D winners in this field and, prior to a break, she was holding her form well enough to suggest she ought to go very close. 5lb claimer Jack Dace gets on well with the progressive filly and she can sign off for 2025 in style. Gaiety Musical and Kindest Nation are the dangers.

The selection is PENELOPE VALENTINE who beat 13 rivals to win over C&D on her penultimate start.

Lost way since maiden win last Nov', a bit better here latest but others appeal more.

LTO Selection:

The Tom Mullins-trained SPACE WARRIOR may be able to gain a second career victory in a race which lacks any strength in depth. Rated much higher in the past, the four-year-old son of Belardo shaped with promise when mid-division at this track last month. Although he will need to back up that effort if he is to land this, the gelding seems to run his best races on tight, right-handed tracks. King Bob, who showed his first hint of ability when third at Tramore in October, is a lightly-raced gelding that should be open to further improvement. Blue Reed has had plenty of chances but perhaps the application of first-time cheekpieces can bring about the necessary improvement.

The vote goes to KING BOB who ran a nice race at Tramore last time out and that form has since been boosted by the first two home

Having opened her account when making a winning stable bow at Warwick in October, there could be more to come from KEPPEL QUEEN. Olly Murphy's mare reverts to handicap/chase company off what could prove a lenient mark and she ticks plenty of the right boxes. Express Surprise regained the winning thread at Wetherby earlier this month and should give another good account, while River Voyage also looks capable of featuring.

Keppel Queen is respected after her winning yard debut over hurdles but EXPRESS SURPRISE is taken to go on from his Wetherby win.

Effective at 2m on good ground; a nice type, though defying a penalty is never easy in bumpers. Comfortably made all at Hereford on debut and he's a key player under a 7lb penalty.

Smile John Boy looked a nice prospect when winning one of these on his Hereford debut, but this is tougher now he's got the penalty to contend with and slight preference is for RISKY OBSESSION. Dan Skelton's inmate won a point-to-point earlier in the year and should be ready to go on his Rules debut given his powerful connections. Midnight Doyen is also noted.

Smile John Boy impressed at Hereford but this could go to point winner RISKY OBSESSION on his first run for Dan Skelton.

TWILIGHT MADNESS can send his supporters home smiling in the finale by completing his hat-trick. He's galloped his rivals into the ground the last twice over C&D and then at Wolverhampton, and it will take a brave punter to oppose him while he's in this kind of form. Of the others, keep C&D winner Lazzar and Woodhay Whisper in mind.

Twilight Street has a good weights chance on his old form but LAZZAR is taken to follow up his recent C&D novice win.

LTO Selection:

A promising fifth on her introduction at Fairyhouse in April, LUCIOLE DES BORDES can land this finale. Sent off 25/1 for that valuable sales bumper, the Willie Mullins-trained daughter of Jeu St Eloi belied those odds with a nice effort to get within six lengths of the winner. Sure to have come on for that experience, it would be no surprise to see the four-year-old register a first career success. Given the form of the Gordon Elliott team all week, recent Monksgrange point-to-point winner Sound Judgement has to be respected on her Rules debut. A half-sister to a black-type horse, Tramore bumper runner-up Lilannbee looks to be gradually improving with each start.

SOUND JUDGEMENT was impressive when winning her point-to-point at Monksgrange and she is narrowly preferred

Having shaped with promise on her debut seventh in an 18-runner bumper at Cheltenham in April, RAINBOW TARA could be ready to strike on her stable debut for Dan Skelton. The five-year-old looks just the type to have improved for a summer on her back and rates as the one to beat. Loro White represents another top stable and market support on her opening bid could prove significant. Point-to-point runner-up Arbor Rose is also worth a second look.

A chance is taken on the newcomer FERN GULLY as Harry Cobden has a good strike-rate when teaming up with Emma Lavelle.

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.
