1	1 1st (1) (12/1 -85%) Wholly Boley	12 12/1(-85%)	(1) Wholly Boley 12/1, Pulled up in a 2m7f handicap chase at Kelso last time; effective at 3m and needs to bounce back. Irish point winner; second in h'cap on chase debut but not jump well in headgear last time.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -122%) Jirko	5 5/1(-122%)	(3) Jirko 5/1, Ran to form on chase debut, flattening out late when 4 1/2l third in a 2m7f handicap chase at Kelso; effective at 3m and should improve for the run. Maiden; creditable third at Kelso on chase debut last month; better expected; chance.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 +0%) Joie More	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Joie More 12/1, Improved from debut but never threatened when fourth, beaten 12l, in a 2m7f handicap chase at Kelso last time; effective around 2 1/2m but currently out of form. Fair form in points/hurdles; decent chase fourth last time but a bit to find with Jirko.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +54%) Swallows Song	3 3/1(+54%)	(2) Swallows Song 3/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Kelso last time; well treated on old form but could play a part. Bumper winner; yet to win over jumps and returns to chasing for first time for two years.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/2 +44%) Didntgotwenty	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(10) Didntgotwenty 9/2, Bit below form when flattening out late up in trip, finishing comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; needs to find improvement. Sound run when 3rd in h'cap hurdle in October; quite interesting on chase debut.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 -17%) Lewa House	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Lewa House 14/1, Ran to form but tired late after a series of errors when beaten 10l in a handicap chase here last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and in fair form despite a modest strike rate. 1-22 over hurdles; fair run when second at Hexham in March; has an each-way chance.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (11/4 +58%) Wainwright	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(8) Wainwright 11/4, Made mistakes but had every chance when a bit below form over shorter, finishing comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here last time; returns from a long layoff and looks a value contender on balance of form off generous mark based on hurdle form. Signs of promise over hurdles and worth considering on this switch to chasing.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (20/1 +39%) Red Ned	20 20/1(+39%)	(5) Red Ned 20/1, Continued in poor form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here last time; needs to find more switched to fences. Ex-Irish pointer; 2nd in a bumper in 2023; modest efforts over hurdles; headgear tried.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (22/1 -144%) Worth The Walk	22 22/1(-144%)	(9) Worth The Walk 22/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a 2m4f novice hurdle at Sedgefield last time; returns from a long layoff and could improve significantly. Winning Irish pointer; midest form over hurdles; improvement expected on h'cap/chase debut.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (28/1 -100%) Tory Hill	28 28/1(-100%)	(4) Tory Hill 28/1, Below form up in trip on chase debut when well beaten in a handicap chase here last time; returns from a long layoff with a first-time tongue-tie; yet to show much under rules. Second in four Irish points; only seventh on chase debut but has since had a wind op.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (28/1 -56%) Knightphase	28 28/1(-56%)	(11) Knightphase 28/1, Pulled up in a 2m7f handicap chase at Kelso last time; effective at 3m and a 3m point winner, though yet to show much under rules. Winning Irish pointer but hard to fancy having been pulled up on three of four hurdle runs.

JIRKO made a bright beginning to his chasing career when third at Kelso, showing up for a long way before the lack of a recent run probably told. With the experience behind him, he can take the necessary step forward. Wholly Boley's jumping let him down last time, but is a player if judged instead on his previous second at Hexham. Better is anticipated from Wainwright now he goes over the larger obstacles, and the same can be said for Didntgotwenty.

Having shown promise over hurdles WAINWRIGHT is taken to get off the mark on his chase debut. Jirko is another to consider.

4	10 4th (10) (12/1 +40%) Northern Empire	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Northern Empire 12/1, 16 Feb; 220,000 euros Night Of Thunder colt; half-brother to Crown Board, very smart from 7f to 8f; dam very smart at 12f. 220,000euros half-brother to useful Crown Board (RPR 108); market instructive on debut.

6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -25%) Aneirin's Sword	100 100/1(-25%)	(2) Aneirin's Sword 100/1, Showed nothing on debut when well beaten in a maiden at Lingfield on sole start; has speed in the pedigree but everything to prove. 25-1 when last of ten on last month's Lingfield debut (7f, AW); not easily recommended.
7th	8 7th (8) (80/1 -186%) Kohana Nation	80 80/1(-186%)	(8) Kohana Nation 80/1, 19 Mar; 70,000gns Sioux Nation colt; faces a tough enough task on debut. 70,000gns yearling; unraced dam from a fair family; others have stronger paper claims.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -52%) Mountbatten	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Mountbatten 50/1, 14 Mar; 140,000 euros Japan colt; half-brother to Miss Yoda, smart at 11f; dam high-class over 8f including at 2yo; wide draw. 140,000euros half-brother to five winners out of a Group 2 winner; check betting.
9th	11 9th (11) (28/1 +15%) Oro Palacio	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Oro Palacio 28/1, 16 May; 57,000 euros Ten Sovereigns colt; half-brother to Gypsy Queen, very useful at 6f. 57,000euros half-brother to 6f winner Gypsy Queen (RPR 84); likely to come on for the run.
10th	7 10th (7) (100/1 -150%) Keep It Classic	100 100/1(-150%)	(7) Keep It Classic 100/1, Never threatened when down the field in a maiden at Lingfield last time; likely to need 7/8f and more time to develop. Down the field in two 7f novice runs this autumn; significant improvement required.
11th	5 11th (5) (150/1 -200%) Cincinnati Gold	150 150/1(-200%)	(5) Cincinnati Gold 150/1, 4 Apr; 80,000gns Sergei Prokofiev colt; half-brother to Jasour, high-class at 6f; wide draw. 80,000gnns half-brother to Group 2 winner Jasour; stable has modest strike-rate with 2yos.
12th	12 12th (12) (150/1 -200%) White Deer	150 150/1(-200%)	(12) White Deer 150/1, Outpaced but ran to form when beaten 5 1/4l in a novice over 8f at Bath last time; tongue-tie fitted for the first time; wide draw; likely to want 1m+ and probably one for handicaps. Some promise in two turf runs for R Hughes; sold 12,000gns in October; improvement needed.

The impeccably-bred SHIPBOURNE was all the rage for his Newbury introduction and didn't disappoint, landing the odds by more than four lengths. The jury is out as to what he actually beat, but there was no denying he was very impressive and can take the next step up the ladder. Ralph Beckett's colt faces some really interesting newcomers, not least Aqpan, who cost 400,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to an Italian Oaks winner. Northern Empire is a 220,000-euro son of Night Of Thunder, while Godolphin's Frankel colt Hidden Force is another first-timer to take into account.

Shipbourne looked useful at Newbury but HIDDEN FORCE is bred to be smart and can enhance his stable's fine record here.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -14%) Atreides	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Atreides 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off a mark of 95 over 2m6f at Fontwell last time. Wears a visor for the first time and is best around 2m4f on heavy or good ground. Still a maiden but improving over fences. Longstanding maiden but he's finished close up at Fontwell in last two runs; new headgear.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 -14%) Birdman Bob	2 2/1(-14%)	(3) Birdman Bob 2/1, Returned to form back at his favoured venue after a break, landing a handicap by 10l off 85 here last time. Effective over 2 1/2m on good ground and goes well at Plumpton. May have a bit more to offer now he's got his head in front. Reappeared with a dominant display over C&D last month; big player again up 7lb.
3	5 3rd (5) (14/1 -27%) Hilltown	14 14/1(-27%)	(5) Hilltown 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f here last time. Better suited by further and had been progressive over fences when last seen. 3m1f chase winner but back from long absence when pulled up (hurdles) last month.
4	4 4th (4) (15/2 +17%) Crac De Megaudais	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(4) Crac De Megaudais 15/2, Probably needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. Value selection on the balance of his form off fair mark based on hurdles efforts. Overall record of 1-11 and he's been well held in both runs over fences; others preferred.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (6/4 +14%) King Of Highways	1.5 6/4(+14%)	(2) King Of Highways 6/4, Returned to form up in trip on chase debut when beaten 2l off 93 at Lingfield last time. Effective over 2 1/2m on good to soft or good ground. Fairly treated on hurdle form and should improve with experience, likely to stay 3m in time. Promising third on handicap/chase debut at Lingfield and he's in the mix for in-form yard.

Andy Irvine's last two handicap runners have been winners and BIRDMAN BOB, who won nicely over C&D at the start of last month, has an excellent chance of continuing in that vein of form, despite a 7lb rise. King Of Highways ran with credit on his chase debut when third at Lingfield and is likely to be competitive off the same mark. The switch of headgear to a visor might yield some improvement from Atreides.

The vote goes to BIRDMAN BOB, who reappeared with a 10l win over C&D last month. King Of Highways is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/4 +59%) Upon Tweed	0.25 1/4(+59%)	(1) Upon Tweed 1/4, Went clear cosily for a very promising debut when winning a novice hurdle here by 8 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Form working out well and could defy his penalty. Unbeaten in Newcastle bumper and a C&D novice; stiffer task but should go well again.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/2 -13%) Stede Bonnet	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(9) Stede Bonnet 9/2, A bit below bumper form on hurdle debut when comfortably held in a maiden over 2m1f at Galway last time. In good form prior and returns from a break. Effective at 2m, acts on good ground; dual bumper winner who should improve. Two bumper wins in the summer; below-par on hurdles debut but an interesting contender.
3	10 3rd (10) (7/1 -17%) Takenasred	7 7/1(-17%)	(10) Takenasred 7/1, Improved from his debut when second, beaten 5l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal last time.

4	7 4th (7) (28/1 -273%) Like Minded	28 28/1(-273%)	(7) Like Minded 28/1, 47,000 euros Wings Of Eagles gelding; half-brother to Hawthorn Street, fair performer at 19f. 37,000euros 3yo; half-brother to a point winner; worth a market check on racecourse debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (22/1 -100%) One Mill Harbour	22 22/1(-100%)	(8) One Mill Harbour 22/1, Travelled and jumped well to win a handicap chase at Hexham by 7l last time, looking well handicapped when improving up 5lb. Absent for a very long spell and needs to find more back over hurdles. Won three h'cap chases in 2023; watching brief advised back over hurdles after long break.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 +30%) Ballyedward	28 28/1(+30%)	(2) Ballyedward 28/1, Outpaced but improved from his debut when finishing 9l third in a bumper over 2m1f at Down Royal on his latest run. Has plenty to find to be competitive here. Promise in Irish points/bumpers but needs to improve on this switch to hurdling.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 +67%) The Coffey Boy	33 33/1(+67%)	(11) The Coffey Boy 33/1, Outpaced but improved from debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time. Point winner who may need further than 2m to be effective under rules. Irish point winner who was a fair C&D sixth on his second hurdles run here last time.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 0%) L'arme De Bonheur	50 50/1(0%)	(6) L'arme De Bonheur 50/1, Had every chance but ran below bumper form when down the field in a novice hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground. Bumper form has been franked and he may have more to offer over hurdles. Second in a bumper for Tom George but tailed off over C&D on hurdles/stable debut.
9th	4 9th (4) (200/1 0%) Ck O'mara	200 200/1(0%)	(4) Ck O'mara 200/1, A bit free and modest on hurdle debut when well beaten in a novice hurdle here on his only start. Likely to need more time to progress. By Shirocco; beaten 63l when 12th of 14 over C&D on debut; improvement likely.
10th	5 10th (5) (300/1 -50%) Defying Gravity	300 300/1(-50%)	(5) Defying Gravity 300/1, Outpaced and below form when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle here last time. May require further than 2m under rules to show best effect. By Shirocco; well beaten both runs over hurdles; best watched for now.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (250/1 -25%) Chiefman	250 250/1(-25%)	(3) Chiefman 250/1, Made mistakes and ran poorly on his hurdle debut when down the field in a novice event at Kelso last time. Returning from a short break; has regressed markedly on the Flat and is best watched over hurdles. Modest performer at up to 1m3f on the Flat; tailed off on hurdles debut; others stronger.

UPON TWEED beat the promising Conman John in a Newcastle bumper and again won as he liked over C&D on his reappearance. He looks a smart prospect but will need to be to successfully concede weight to Stede Bonnet, who won a couple of NH Flat races before a satisfactory hurdling debut at the Galway Festival. Takenasred took a big step forward when runner-up at Down Royal, while Like Minded is an interesting newcomer. One Mill Harbour might be using this to blow away any cobwebs before a return to fences.

Having won his two starts so far in good style UPON TWEED is taken to make it three out of three. Takenasred is next best.

1	5 1st (5) (8/15 0%) You'll Think Of Me	0.533333 8/15(0%)	(5) You'll Think Of Me 8/15, Ran to form when beaten 1/4l into third in a nursery over 7f at Dundalk last time. Trainer in form; effective from 6-7f and acts on yielding, good and all-weather. Well bred and consistent in maidens; a big player on stable debut. Improved with each run for D O'Brien in Ireland; strong form claims on stable debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 -33%) Generous Rascal	3 3/1(-33%)	(1) Generous Rascal 3/1, Improved from debut with experience when switched to the all-weather, winning a novice here by a neck last time. Off a short break; effective at 6f. Form of that win was nothing special but he looks competitive under a penalty. Improved on debut effort when winning over C&D in October; capable of better but penalised.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 -14%) Mohmentous	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Mohmentous 16/1, 12 Apr; 7,500gns Mohaather colt; half-brother to American Tale, useful at 9f; dam useful at 7f at 2yo. 7,500gns half-brother to two winners; useful standard to aim at on debut; check betting.

Generous Rascal showed the benefit of a previous outing and his appreciation for the switch to the all-weather when justifying favouritism over C&D. As a result, he must shoulder a penalty and will do well to successfully concede 12lb to YOU'LL THINK OF ME. The daughter of Kingman showed a fair level of ability for Donnacha O'Brien in Ireland, earning a rating of 82, and can strike at the first time of asking for Kevin Philippart De Foy. Blueaway, a 75,000-euro breeze-up purchase, is the most appealing newcomer.

Generous Rascal is open to further progress but conceding 12lb to YOU'LL THINK OF ME may prove beyond him.

1	2 1st (2) (1/3 +38%) Fresh Kicks	0.333333 1/3(+38%)	(2) Fresh Kicks 1/3, Produced a very promising debut, quickening well before being caught late by a strong, race-fit stayer when second, beaten a length, in a novice hurdle at Kempton; second run after wind operation; effective over 2m5f on good ground and can win soon. Made bold bid and was only just caught on hurdling debut at Kempton; strong contender.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 +27%) The Two Harrys	8 8/1(+27%)	(5) The Two Harrys 8/1, Keen and needed the run when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Chepstow latest; effective at 2m and looks one for handicaps, likely to stay further in time. Promising fourth on hurdling debut at Lingfield but was tailed off at Chepstow last month.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 -29%) Hillwalk	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(4) Hillwalk 9/2, Below form when 16l third in a bumper over 2m2f at Fontwell on his most recent run; returning from a long layoff and looks an unlikely alternative. Placed in two bumpers last season and needs watching in market on hurdling debut.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (14/1 -17%) Crest Of Valour	14 14/1(-17%)	(1) Crest Of Valour 14/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when well beaten in a bumper over 2m2f at Fontwell on his only start; difficult to fancy. Well held in sole bumper but he has some good jumpers in pedigree; one to keep an eye on.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (50/1 -213%) Kill The Groove	50 50/1(-213%)	(6) Kill The Groove 50/1, Ran green under pressure and below form when 58l third in a novice hurdle over 2m6f at Newton Abbot last time; effective around 2¼m on good ground and probably one for handicaps after this. Mixed record in seven runs so far and has something to prove on return for new yard.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (66/1 -100%) Fury Lad	66 66/1(-100%)	(3) Fury Lad 66/1, Showed minor promise on debut and looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a maiden bumper over 2m at Taunton last time; absent for a very lengthy period and has it all to do. Makes hurdling debut after 599 days off and is best watched.

FRESH KICKS appears to set the standard based on his first run over hurdles when runner-up at Kempton and Nicky Henderson's gelding looks to have an ideal opportunity to go one better. Hillwalk finished second to a useful prospect at Chepstow in November of last year and that kind of form would give him every chance now running over hurdles for the first time. Crest Of Valour is entitled to step forward from his Fontwell debut.

This can go to FRESH KICKS, who was only just caught on his hurdling debut at Kempton and sets the standard on that form.

Consistent in novice company and could progress now handicapping over a longer trip. Well beaten in two Kelso novices this term; likely improver up in trip on handicap debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +33%) Shoeshine Boy	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Shoeshine Boy 4/1, Showed signs of a return to form when third, beaten 14l, in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Hexham under a positive ride. Effective at 3m and suited by plenty of cut; on a fair mark if building on that revival. Dual C&D winner; on a good mark and, after decent third last time; leading contender.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 +11%) Coventry	16 16/1(+11%)	(6) Coventry 16/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Perth last time. Effective at around 2½m but can prove a tricky ride and appears to be regressing. 1-29, that win coming in 2021; not been in best of form; plenty to prove now.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 -60%) Take A Hike	3 3/1(-60%)	(5) Take A Hike 3/1, Improved down in grade when winning a 2m5f Kelso handicap by 4l off a mark of 79. Effective at 2½-3m and acts on soft and good ground; progressing over hurdles. Off the mark over 2m5f at Kelso last time; stays 3m well and has a chance despite 5lb rise.
5th	8 5th (8) (3/1 +0%) Zeezee	3 3/1(+0%)	(8) Zeezee 3/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 13l, in a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time.

7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 -20%) Bollin Matilda	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Bollin Matilda 12/1, Pulled up in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Hexham last time.

This could be another fine opportunity for TAKE A HIKE, who returned to form in no uncertain terms at Kelso last month. The seven-year-old is now 5lb higher, but a few of these arrive with a bit to prove and she might not need much more. Zeezee continues to knock at the door and is sure to play a leading role, while dual C&D winner Shoeshine Boy showed a bit more at Hexham latest.

The pick is SHOESHINE BOY (nap) who is running into form and can take advantage of his current good mark. Take A Hike is next best.

AMERICAN FLIGHT was the outsider of three when attempting to supplement a C&D triumph at Newcastle, but she did so in gutsy fashion and there may be even more to come off just a 1lb higher figure. Flash Rascal improved for the switch to an artificial surface, breaking his duck at Chelmsford, and the third has won since. Torbados and My Dad Tom both drop from 7f with claims, while Wisetanck could leave previous efforts behind now entering the nursery ranks.

The switch to AW saw FLASH RASCAL (nap) run out an impressive winner at Chelmsford and that form has been well advertised since.

Cueros made the perfect start to his hurdling career at Newcastle and lost little in defeat at Wetherby next time. He should progress further, but might struggle to give 7lb to CREST OF STARS. The four-year-old landed a Newton Abbot bumper on his return in October but is sure to be better over an obstacle, especially given that he is a half-brother to the smart Ashdale Bob. General Briar is another to consider.

Bumper winner CREST OF STARS is a half-brother to a smart hurdler and could have a good future at this new discipline.

HEADS OR HARPS let favourite-backers down at Kelso, but that was his seasonal return and it might be worth giving him another chance. The eight-year-old still has few miles on the clock, although the same can be said of Southey, who was a winner between the flags in May and is worth considering back under Rules. Rock On Jet and Arthur's Quay shouldn't be far away either.

Truckers Cruising and Southey can figure but C&D winner HEADS OR HARPS is forgiven a low-key return to action.

Colourband has been gelded since his Salisbury third, which is probably the best form on offer, but he comes up against some really interesting debutants. Heading that list is King's Trail, a Sea The Stars colt out of a Group 3 winner who finished second in the Prix Rothschild. Cockade has a nice blend of speed and stamina in his pedigree but so does WINDBREAKER, whose price rose from 100,000gns as a foal to 375,000gns less than a year later and he gets the nod.

Several well-connected beginners from top yards who could well prove smart prospects so KING'S TRAIL is just a tentative choice.

JOREBEL has gone from strength to strength since scoring at Fontwell in September, winning three of his four starts, including on his fencing bow at Lingfield. Although he only prevailed narrowly, he should have plenty more in the locker and is fancied to go in again, despite a 6lb rise. Touquet was defeated by the selection at Lingfield, but is 1lb better off. Jackpot Cash has struggled of late, but perhaps the application of a first-time tongue-tie will help him.

The vote goes to JOREBEL (nap) who has won four of his last five and held off Touquet at Lingfield on his recent chasing debut.

LADDIE COOPER MIA made a pleasing reappearance at Sedgefield and that should have blown away any cobwebs. Adam Nicol's mare remains unexposed over hurdles and could be more than capable from her current mark. The application of first-time cheekpieces may give a boost to Forest Blaze, who was disappointing at Hexham. C&D winner So Many Roads might also improve upon his seasonal return, while the veteran Fostered Phil is just one more to consider.

In an unappealing race FOREST BLAZE, a dual winner last season, is taken to get the better of Laddie Cooper Mia.

Studious bounced back to his best at Newcastle last week, but all three of his victories have come on Tapeta and he has something to prove on this surface. TONAL struck on Tapeta at Southwell, but that supplemented a wide-margin Chelmsford triumph and his proven ability on Polytrack means he is fancied to round out the hat-trick. Foreseen got through heavy ground to win at Bath and Louie The Legend also handled testing conditions to go close at Nottingham, but both must back those performances up here.

Three of these won their latest starts but TONAL makes most appeal, having beaten two next-time winners when last seen in October.

Having notched up a brace of novice victories, Jackstell completed his hat-trick when switched to handicaps over C&D. He is expected to go close again, but GRENADIER JED is preferred. Robert Walford's gelding also registered a three-timer on his return at Fontwell and the manner in which he won would suggest he can cope with a 10lb rise. Believitanducan, Bourbali and Sixty Plus add further intrigue to a competitive heat.

Grenadier Jed and JACKSTELL are major improvers who have both won their last three starts. Slight preference is for the latter.

RED CADILLAC appears to have strengthened up during his break, judging by the way he stuck his neck out to get off the mark at Carlisle. He only won by a head so a 4lb rise isn't ideal, but he should be capable of even more, especially now going back up in trip. King Gris has to be feared on his first appearance for the Gordon Elliott team, and with Sean Bowen on top. Ozzy Cosmo is the pick of the remainder.

The choice is KING GRIS, a fair Irish pointer who makes plenty of appeal off his basement mark on his first run for Gordon Elliott.

I'M WORKIN ON IT has found his niche as a Kempton handicapper, winning here in August before a close-up fourth and a narrow defeat. All of those efforts came at 7f, but he stayed on all the way to the line last time so the extra furlong should play to his strengths. Rainwater got closest to an easy winner at Wolverhampton but a bigger threat may come in the shape of Final Night, who struck over C&D prior to making the frame at Nottingham.

Law Supreme is interesting but I'M WORKING ON IT is on the up and could progress again now upped to 1m for the first time.

Low Expectations has really turned a corner since returning last month, winning at Fontwell before going in again at Windsor. The penalty shouldn't be any barrier to further success, but the presence of NO MORE BOLERO might be. Officially rated 69 on the level, he made a mockery of a mark of 84 at Ludlow last week and might still have too much under his penalty. Hill Station can chase the pair home.

This is a tight call between the two penalised runners in No More Bolero and LOW EXPECTATIONS, but the vote goes to the latter.

DUBHAIN gave a great sight from the front at Down Royal's big meeting of the year, only giving way late to finish third. The winner has gone in again to frank the form and Stuart Crawford's raider has an experience edge over Broadway Ted, who also crosses the Irish Sea and makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Nicky Richards forked out 44,000 euros for Coniston Commander and he is another newcomer to consider.

Chancellor benefited from being gelded and a wind operation when scoring here in handicap company. The extra furlong is unlikely to be an issue, but the standard HOLLOWAY BOY sets might just be a bridge too far. The five-year-old placed second twice in Group 2 company and took third in the Jebel Hatta in Dubai before returning with a fine effort against a very progressive type in the Balmoral at Ascot, and this should set him up nicely for going back overseas. The consistent Ebt's Guard and Torito are others to consider.

Chancellor is a big player up in trip and class but HOLLOWAY BOY, who ran a fine race at Ascot in October, may have his measure.

A confident vote goes to MESCALERO, who made a pleasing start to his career when second at Worcester in September. Harry Eustace's charge then finished third over the same C&D, but the winner looked useful and the runner-up has since gone one better over hurdles. This might not be the deepest contest and any further progress could suffice. Saint Invictus was a distant second at Sandown but is still one of the likelier candidates, while Jet Steel must also enter the reckoning.

Top of the list is MESCALERO, who has finished placed in two bumpers at Worcester and his latest third was behind a useful rival.

FREDDIE'S STAR was presented with a simple opportunity to shed the maiden tag at Chelmsford and duly obliged at the fourth attempt. Now sent into handicap company, Roger Teal's gelding looks open to further improvement. Arctician bounced back over C&D last month and has to be respected off 3lb higher, while the application of cheekpieces may aid the cause of Mythical Composer.

Metaverse and United Approach can feature but STENMARK is given another chance to tap back into this summer's promise.

AKIRRA won as his incredibly short odds suggested he would over C&D and, with that confidence boost under his belt, he can gain his revenge on Comic Strip. Just three-quarters of a length separated them when the Crisfords' youngster came out on top at Southwell, but Akirra is 4lb better off and can capitalise. Bessie Wallis arrives on the back of a breakthrough success at Lingfield, but this requires more of her.

The vote goes to the progressive COMIC STRIP, who showed a good attitude when beating Akirra in a Southwell nursery last time.

Nivelle's Magic has been knocking on the door, most recently when a close-up second at Newbury, and she's likely to be in the mix once more. However, a further 3lb rise will only make life more difficult for Dan Horsford's mare and LITTLE MISS INDIA may prove to be better treated. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a third-placed effort at Southwell and edges the vote off an unchanged mark. Mission Possible is the pick of the remainder.

Mission Possible can go well dropped in trip but the reliable NVELLE'S MAGIC can record her third win of the year.

Codiak came within a whisker of getting off the mark in a Redcar nursery and will surely break through sooner rather than later. He may have to wait a little longer, though, because YAA MIN is gradually getting the hang of things and is fancied to step forward from his Redcar third, which came following a break and a gelding operation. Gold Penny is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time so improvement is possible.

Improvement from PYLEATES looks entirely plausible and she is first choice ahead of Codiak.

Completing a three-timer took MARIS ANGEL's Wolverhampton record to five victories from seven visits and she is worth sticking with while at the top of her game. Your Love is progressing nicely and landed the odds to break her duck at Southwell. Fiorella Princess ended her time with Lemos De Souza in good form and is interesting on her debut for the Charlie Wallis team. Court Drive was pipped at Lingfield recently and is only 1lb higher now.

Again receiving weight all round, COURT DRIVE could well prove the answer back down in class. Maris Angel is second pick.

AAJEJ seems happiest on an artificial surface and came within a neck of a first success over 1m6f here. He stayed every yard of the trip and, if anything, this distance promises to get even more out of him. Ribble Vibe's sole previous victory came on debut, but he has been performing well in defeat and should double that tally soon enough. Diamond Bay wasn't that far behind the selection last time, while Senor Cortez has more to give.

The choice is RIBBLE VIBE who ran really well when third in a slightly better contest over this trip at Southwell 11 days ago.

Trained by a top course handler; effective at 7/8f on all-weather and respected up just 1lb. 0-9 but placed in last two starts including over C&D; less exposed than most of these.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 +61%) Reputation	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(5) Reputation 11/2, Scored by a head off 49 here two runs ago and ran to form when seventh beaten 3 1/2l off 51 last time. Usually held up; effective at 7f on all-weather; run style needs pace collapse but still on a fair mark. C&D winner last month and not beaten far in a slightly better race last time; shortlisted.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/2 +64%) Overlooked	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(1) Overlooked 5/2, Had too much to do after missing the break but ran to form when beaten 5l in a Newcastle handicap last time. In good form before that; effective over 7/8f on all-weather and consistent until latest. Running with credit in defeat lately, but now 0-22; another placing may be his best hope.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 -264%) Rain Cap	20 20/1(-264%)	(4) Rain Cap 20/1, Finished well and ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off 52 over 6f at Redcar last time. Effective at 6/7f and now best suited by a sound surface; respected off this mark. Not easy to win with these days, but mainly consistent this year; frame material again.
5th	12 5th (12) (40/1 0%) Chris's Mate	40 40/1(0%)	(12) Chris's Mate 40/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a 6f Newcastle handicap latest. Effective over 6-8f on all-weather; up against it. 0-10; fair fourth on return at Newcastle 11 days ago, but needs to build on it.
6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -257%) Eye Of The Water	25 25/1(-257%)	(9) Eye Of The Water 25/1, Suited by deep ground when fourth beaten 6l over 8f at Bath latest. Effective at 7/8f and goes on any surface; ran better latest but the veteran may prove vulnerable. C&D winner, but rarely seen on AW these days and losing run up to 29; others more solid.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -186%) Shoptilyoudrop	80 80/1(-186%)	(10) Shoptilyoudrop 80/1, Tired late after refusing to settle when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Best French efforts on all-weather; effective over 7f but inconsistent and plenty to prove for new yard. 0-15; didn't enjoy much luck over C&D last time but a leap of faith is still required.
8th	3 8th (3) (14/1 -211%) Secret Road	14 14/1(-211%)	(3) Secret Road 14/1, Produced his best run of 2025 when beaten 2 1/4l off 54 here last time. Usually held up; effective at 6/7f, handles soft, good and all-weather; encouraging signs latest. Better effort when fourth past the post here last time; 5lb below last winning mark.
9th	11 9th (11) (28/1 +30%) Porfin	28 28/1(+30%)	(11) Porfin 28/1, Outpaced and below form when beaten 10l in a 6f handicap at Yarmouth last time. Trainer in form; effective at 6-7f and acts on all-weather; out of form and looks up against it. Dual C&D winner; won at Lingfield in January; last six efforts leave plenty to be desired.
10th	2 10th (2) (10/1 -11%) Mashaan	10 10/1(-11%)	(2) Mashaan 10/1, Every chance but below form when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a Chelmsford handicap latest. Suited by 7f, acts on a sound surface; needs to bounce back after a few below-par runs. C&D winner, but hasn't shown enough lately to suggest he will be the answer.
11th	6 11th (6) (11/2 +8%) Arlecchino's Rex	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(6) Arlecchino's Rex 11/2, Below form when beaten 6l in a Kempton handicap last time after a short break. Effective at 7f, acts on a sound surface; in moderate form. 0-13 since winning over C&D, but well treated on some of his summer AW form; could go well.
12th	8 12th (8) (28/1 +15%) Kakarotto	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Kakarotto 28/1, Ran poorly when down the field in a 5f handicap here most recently. Effective at 5/6f and acts on heavy; more like it latest but has a bit to prove on all-weather. AW winner in Spain and fair effort on stable debut, but last of 11 here next time.

The penny is dropping with HOMME DE FER, who has made the frame on his last couple of starts. He may not have quite seen out the mile at Southwell and the return to this distance can pay dividends. Rain Cap found only one too strong at Redcar, but has never shown his true colours on the all-weather. Eye Of The Water also has a better record on turf, although he has managed to get his head in front twice here.

The vote goes to HOMME DE FER who is relatively unexposed on the AW and has been shaping as though a first win may be imminent.

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 -75%) Havana Club	7 7/1(-75%)	(4) Havana Club 7/1, Bit free but ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 52 over 6f here last time; suited by 7/8f, consistent performer, longer trip should suit. 1-17; close third over 6f here six days ago; no problem with 7f; a player.
2	12 2nd (12) (14/1 +30%) Kodebreaker	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Kodebreaker 14/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 6l in an 8f handicap at Southwell last time; suited by 7/8f, acts on any surface; has regressed but mark has fallen too. Losing run up to 19 despite a sliding mark; makes limited appeal.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 +0%) The Cola Kid	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(6) The Cola Kid 7/2, Quickened clear but was caught late when beaten a neck off 48 over 6f here last time; effective at 5-7f on all-weather; in form and on a fair mark. One win in last 27 runs, but only beaten a neck here six days ago; a repeat may be enough.
4	11 4th (11) (25/1 -178%) Evoluir	25 25/1(-178%)	(11) Evoluir 25/1, Outpaced and had too much to do when beaten 4 1/2l in a 6f handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 6/7f on all-weather; longer trip a plus but currently out of form. C&D winner in February, but patchy form since; others make more appeal.
5th	9 5th (9) (17/2 +47%) Vitalline	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(9) Vitalline 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; in good form prior and now off a short break; effective 6-7f on all-weather; capable at this modest level off current mark. Five-time AW winner and has run with credit lately, but stall 12 makes things tricky.
6th	8 6th (8) (22/1 -22%) Darla's Secret	22 22/1(-22%)	(8) Darla's Secret 22/1, Outpaced and never threatened, unsuited by the drop in trip when beaten 8l in a 6f handicap at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective 7-10f on all-weather; currently out of form. Out of the frame in all nine starts and needs to find plenty more if he is to figure.
7th	7 7th (7) (25/1 -213%) Rock Master	25 25/1(-213%)	(7) Rock Master 25/1, Yard won this last year; had too much to do when beaten 5l in a 6f handicap here last time; trained by a top course trainer; consistent maiden effective at 6/7f on a sound surface. 0-14, but hasn't been with Tony Carroll for long; a step up wouldn't be a total surprise.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/2 +17%) Sedgemoor	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(2) Sedgemoor 5/2, Never threatened after missing the break when beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; suited by 7f, acts on all-weather; has lost form lately. 1-15; has gone backwards from a promising return/stable debut in August; best watched.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 +21%) Weston Court	22 22/1(+21%)	(10) Weston Court 22/1, Forced wide from a poor draw when beaten 4l off 46 here last time; suited by 1m; form only moderate. Favourably handicapped on his two turf wins in the summer of 2024, but still more needed.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (5/1 +64%) Urban Dandy	5 5/1(+64%)	(5) Urban Dandy 5/1, Outpaced and never threatened when below form, beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective at 7/8f on all-weather; drop in trip may help. Mainly consistent, but has only won one of his last 37 starts; others more compelling.
10th	1 10th (1) (22/1 -22%) Desert Footsteps	22 22/1(-22%)	(1) Desert Footsteps 22/1, Made too much use of when finishing down the field in a 9f handicap here most recently; suited by 1m and a sound surface, may not handle give; has lost form. Three runs since returning in September have been blowouts; hard to recommend.
11th	3 11th (3) (14/1 -56%) Haworth Star	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Haworth Star 14/1, Ran to form, making late headway when beaten 2 1/4l off 55 over 6f at Newcastle last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on all-weather; inconsistent but enjoys this C&D. 1-18; good effort on penultimate start but he isn't very consistent; risks attached.

THE COLA KID has registered just one win in the last two years, but recent efforts have suggested his turn is imminent again. He has been sent off at big odds when sandwiching a Kempton fourth with two narrow defeats here, and he won't go under the radar this time. Havana Club was a close-up third in the other division of the race the selection finished second in last week and has to be a danger. Rock Master may get closer to The Cola Kid than he did six days ago.

Preference is for THE COLA KID who ran another good race in defeat when beaten a neck here six days ago.

2	1 2nd (1) (25/1 +24%) Token Love	25 25/1(+24%)	(1) Token Love 25/1, Another poor handicap run when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently; effective up to 8f and acts on sound surface but has everything to prove at present.

First-time hood needs to make a big difference.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/2 -57%) Study Of Motion	5.5 11/2(-57%)	(4) Study Of Motion 11/2, Improved up in trip when 7 1/2l third in a maiden over 8f at Chelmsford last time; off a short break; bred to stay 10f and could progress again now handicapping over further. Gives the impression this new trip will suit on handicap debut; interesting.
8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 +10%) Shielas Well	18 18/1(+10%)	(2) Shielas Well 18/1, Unwilling early but ran to form when 5l third in a handicap over 12f here on latest start; effective from 1m to 12f and suited by a sound surface; below par recently with some enthusiasm concerns.

Far from solid on his 7f form but may improve for this new trip.

A drop in trip worked the oracle for THE DARK BARON, who recorded a comfortable success over C&D in October. That also happened to be the three-year-old's all-weather debut so although raised 5lb, he may well have more to offer. Another who could progress is handicap debutant Study Of Motion, especially from a handy draw. Magic Runner is berthed wide, but she did hit the frame over track and trip last time.

With further progress plausible, THE DARK BARON (nap) is taken to follow up his C&D success. Study Of Motion is second pick.

5	5 \|DQ\| (5) (5/4 +9%) Dingwall	1.25 5/4(+9%)	(5) Dingwall 5/4, Did very well to win having completely missed the break, landing a handicap by 2l off 53 here last time. Usually held up; effective from 8-10f and acts on a sound surface; thriving since returning to the all-weather and could complete a hat-trick. Two comfortable wins at Wolverhampton last week, despite being slowly away both times.

DINGWALL broke very slowly but came home best of all to record a commanding C&D triumph, before following up in similarly remarkable fashion a day later. It might not be an easy watch for his supporters once again, but the penalised four-year-old is clearly well ahead of the handicapper and can complete a quickfire hat-trick. Whiteley Way and Mr Nugget both arrive in fair form and are sure to go close, as is the well-treated Revich, who has shown much more on his last couple of appearances.

Even another tardy start may not stop DINGWALL from completing a quickfire Wolverhampton hat-trick. Al Shabab is second pick.

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.
