Info	Form	Odds
1	14 1st (14) (11/2 +27%) Sept Etoiles	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(14) Sept Etoiles 11/2, The stable has won two of the last eight editions of this race. Outpaced but showed promise when fourth, beaten 14l, in a maiden hurdle here on debut. Effective at 2m and handles yielding ground. Debut form has been franked in a Grade 3, and he should improve up in trip. Distant 4th on debut over 2m1f here and step up in trip will suit; first string.
2	10 2nd (10) (5/6 +44%) Court Compliance	0.833333 5/6(+44%)	(10) Court Compliance 5/6, Travelled well on debut when second, beaten 1/2l, in a strong maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Effective at 2m5f and handles soft ground. Debut form looks solid and he should be winning soon. Promise in 2 points and went close on rules debut; sharper test here; sets the standard.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/1 -67%) Miss Doyenne	5 5/1(-67%)	(3) Miss Doyenne 5/1, The yard has won the last two renewals of this race. Showed a good attitude when winning a mares' bumper at Cork by 1/2l on debut. Promising type and point win suggests this longer trip will suit on her hurdles debut so holds every chance. Bumper winner on rules bow; form hasn't worked out but improver up in trip if fit.
4	17 4th (17) (66/1 -200%) Dunsy Rock	66 66/1(-200%)	(17) Dunsy Rock 66/1, The stable has won two of the last eight renewals. Poet's Word filly representing a top trainer. Half sister placed at Listed level in France. Of interest if money arrives. Poet's Word filly; half-sister to 2 French winners; Ewing prefers Sept Etoiles.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +10%) Dippedinmoonlight	3 3/1(+10%)	(2) Dippedinmoonlight 3/1, Improved from her debut when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Yard in form; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on any ground. A point, bumper and Flat winner who is progressing over hurdles and likely to improve further. Flat/bumper winner; creditable run back over timber latest and that form is working out.
6th	19 6th (19) (80/1 -60%) Somersby Roost	80 80/1(-60%)	(19) Somersby Roost 80/1, Modest debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Acts on yielding ground. Point winner who may be suited by a longer trip over hurdles. Point winner; well held fifth of 16 at Naas last month but form knocked since.
7th	11 7th (11) (80/1 -186%) Largy Spirit	80 80/1(-186%)	(11) Largy Spirit 80/1, Showed greenness and made mistakes when second, beaten 16l, in a novice hurdle at Carlisle on debut. Returns from a long layoff; effective around 2 1/2m and acts on good ground. Faces a tougher test but should progress from that first run. Shaped like further would suit when 6th in bumper here; similar form when 2nd at Ayr.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 +0%) Ballyedward	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Ballyedward 25/1, Did too much early and was comfortably held on his novice hurdle debut at Ayr last time. May require this bit further than 2m but needs more. Placed in 2 of 3 point starts; hasn't really kicked on under rules yet but trip will help.
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 -43%) Albus	20 20/1(-43%)	(4) Albus 20/1, The stable has won two of the last eight runnings of this race. Elusive Pimpernel gelding representing a top yard. Dam ran well at Graded level over hurdles. Worth a market check. Half-brother to a bumper winner; newcomer for a yard in form and worth market check.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 -32%) Blueys Unicorse	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Blueys Unicorse 33/1, Promising effort when runner-up, beaten 10l, in a conditions race at Damma House on only start. Returns from a short break and faces a tougher task here. Ran well in all three point starts but 2m4f on this ground could be sharp on rules debut.
11th	9 11th (9) (150/1 +0%) Brackens Jet	150 150/1(+0%)	(9) Brackens Jet 150/1, Jet Away gelding. Half brother to hurdles and chase winners but faces stiff task on debut. Jet Away gelding; half-brother to 3 winners and good chance he'll need this.
12th	18 12th (18) (80/1 -60%) Hellfire Hathaway	80 80/1(-60%)	(18) Hellfire Hathaway 80/1, Berkshire filly who is a half-sister to Lisnamult Lad, a very useful performer at around 21f. Berkshire filly; half-sister to Lisnamult Lad; tough ask on debut.
13th	16 13th (16) (200/1 -33%) Coppola	200 200/1(-33%)	(16) Coppola 200/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 3 1/2l, in a maiden at Tinahely last time. Showed nothing when previously tried under rules. Faces a stiff task here. Struggled under rules a couple of seasons ago and 0-8 in points since.
14th	6 14th (6) (50/1 -52%) Astley	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Astley 50/1, Below form when outclassed up in grade, finishing down the field in a Punchestown bumper last time. Inconsistent in that sphere but longer trip will suit on hurdle debut. Promise in second bumper run; tailed off either side of that and off 238 days.
15th	12 15th (12) (125/1 +17%) Mr Devlin	125 125/1(+17%)	(12) Mr Devlin 125/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles on only start. Much more required. Tailed off a long way out when 50-1 for his debut last month.
16th	5 16th (5) (150/1 -50%) Areema Dreamer	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Areema Dreamer 150/1, Golden Lariat gelding bought for 1,750 euros. Dam showed little in bumpers. Likely faces a stiff task. Golden Lariat gelding; dam half-sister to bumper/hurdle winner; likely to need this.
17th	15 17th (15) (150/1 -20%) Bet On Beauty	150 150/1(-20%)	(15) Bet On Beauty 150/1, Poor hurdle debut when down the field in a Navan maiden last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 3m, and her point win suggests the longer trip will help, but she needs more. Point winner but was tailed off when 80-1 for her rules debut last month.
18th	1 18th (1) (66/1 -65%) Augusta George	66 66/1(-65%)	(1) Augusta George 66/1, Paid the price for trying to go with a classy winner when up in trip and was comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time. Returns from a long absence; effective at 2m5f and acts on good ground. Form inconsistent but not dismissed if at best. Downpatrick bumper winner who went close in a maiden hurdle; fitness is the big question.

COURT COMPLIANCE was purchased for 95,000 pounds in April and was only narrowly denied when second on his Rules debut at Punchestown. With the benefit of that experience under his belt, the five-year-old could be hard to beat here. Cork bumper winner Miss Doyenne is an obvious threat on her hurdling bow, while Sept Etoiles is another with a bright future. The shortlist is completed by Dippedinmoonlight and Blueys Unicorse.

Having gone close in a promising debut under rules at Punchestown last month, COURT COMPLIANCE can go one better in a weaker race

11:45 Sedgefield (Class 4) 19f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (15/8 +0%) Scorsese	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(2) Scorsese 15/8, Produced his best effort when making the running on his third chase start, beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Wincanton last time; effective around 2m4f on good or good to soft ground; strong chance off a workable mark. Two hurdle wins last term (one here); shaped well over fences, close 2nd latest; player.
2	8 2nd (8) (17/2 -42%) Tom Creen	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(8) Tom Creen 17/2, Won this race last year; outpaced and needed the run when well beaten in a handicap chase at Haydock latest; effective at 2½m on good or good to soft ground and should strip fitter for that reappearance. Five course wins, the latest in this race in 2024; should improve on last run; a possible.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +47%) Jermyn Raffles	4.5 9/2(+47%)	(5) Jermyn Raffles 9/2, Probably ran to form when landing a handicap by 5l off this mark at Durtal last time; effective at 2½m and acts on soft ground; has useful form over hurdles and fences in France, though hard to assess with precision. Ex-French; dual chase winner, latest in November; soft ground suits; could go well.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -8%) Double Digits	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) Double Digits 7/1, Had no obvious excuse when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle latest; effective at 2m on good or good to soft ground; in form over hurdles before that run and a point winner making his chase debut. Irish point winner (3m); two hurdle wins last term; quite interesting on chase debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/2 +0%) Sayva	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Sayva 9/2, Outpaced and below debut form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time; enjoys making the running and is effective from 2m to 2½m on good or good to soft ground; yet to take to chasing. Decent novice hurdler last term; not so good over fences so far; stable in better form now.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/1 +13%) Ailt An Chorrain	7 7/1(+13%)	(6) Ailt An Chorrain 7/1, Disappointing favourite who possibly needed the race on chase debut when well beaten in a Newcastle handicap chase; suited by 2½m and handles soft or good ground; could progress over fences if leaving that reappearance run behind. Dual hurdles winner at up to 2m4f; didn't show much on chase debut but better is likely.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -43%) Lady Jago	40 40/1(-43%)	(4) Lady Jago 40/1, Outpaced and never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time; best at around 2½m and may need to drop in the weights for her new yard. Won three small-field chases for Dan Skelton; below best for new yard; bit to prove now.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (16/1 -45%) Raffles Wonder	16 16/1(-45%)	(7) Raffles Wonder 16/1, Not helped by an error three out and probably needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Hexham last time; effective from 2m to 2½m on heavy or good ground; previously in good form and may improve with a recent outing. Won two chases at about 2m last term; well beaten on reappearance; stamina to prove.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (50/1 -213%) Fortunate Fella	50 50/1(-213%)	(9) Fortunate Fella 50/1, Below form off a revised mark after doing too much early in a handicap chase at Hexham last time; best at around 2½m with most form on sound surfaces; fair chance of bouncing back if handling the conditions. Fontwell winner for Paul Nicholls; well-beaten 3rd on stable debut; better can be expected.

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

In front when falling at Fontwell before going down by a neck at Wincanton last time, compensation could await SCORSESE. The unexposed chaser is assisted by Harry Atkins and his 7lb claim and this looks winnable. Raffles Wonder struggled on his return but could do better now, as might the class-dropping Sayva, while market support for stable debutant Jermyn Raffles, a dual chase winner in France, would be noteworthy.

In a competitive race for the grade, SCORSESE is taken to get off the mark over fences by beating course specialist Tom Creen.

11:52 Wetherby (Class 4) 19f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	13 1st (13) (11/10 +73%) Scavengers Reign	1.1 11/10(+73%)	(13) Scavengers Reign 11/10, Bit Keen, travelled, probably raced bit close to strong pace when 4 1/4l third in a novice hurdle at Doncaster most recent run; effective up to 2m4f, acts on G; improving and worth marking up latest. Sometimes looks wayward but she's the form pick judged on her third at Doncaster.
2	11 2nd (11) (4/1 +33%) Rosie Baloo	4 4/1(+33%)	(11) Rosie Baloo 4/1, Confirmed debut promise when third, beaten 10l in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time. Effective at 2m on good to soft or good ground, with more to come over hurdles and should go well. Bumper winner; rallied when third at Southwell 12 days ago; commands major respect.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 +0%) Halftheworldaway	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(5) Halftheworldaway 11/2, Showed some promise on debut when fourth, beaten 16l in a maiden bumper at Carlisle last time. Effective at 2m1f on good to soft ground and has more to come now hurdling. Promising second in Irish point and fourth in Carlisle bumper; interesting contender.
4	8 4th (8) (15/2 -233%) Laffer Curve	7.5 15/2(-233%)	(8) Laffer Curve 15/2, Improved slightly on debut beaten 5 1/4l in an Amateurs' bumper here last time; effective at 2m, acts on S, G; more to come now hurdling. Promise in two bumpers, close fifth here on latest; should be competitive on hurdles debut.
5th	14 5th (14) (25/1 +24%) Shinealight	25 25/1(+24%)	(14) Shinealight 25/1, Modest bumper debut, finishing down the field in a Listed mares' NH Flat Race at Cheltenham last time. Effective at 3m in points and likely to improve over hurdles. Last in Listed bumper on rules debut; more needed on switch to hurdling but this is weaker.
6th	10 6th (10) (300/1 -100%) Moonlight Trail	300 300/1(-100%)	(10) Moonlight Trail 300/1, Made mistakes and was pulled up in a novice hurdle at Carlisle last time. Likely to prefer further than 2m4f and has plenty to prove on hurdles debut. No encouragement at long odds in a bumper and novice hurdle.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 +39%) Dilly's Gunner	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) Dilly's Gunner 40/1, Modest debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 2m and the type to do better in handicaps. Beaten 27l on hurdling debut and will need to jump with more fluency if she's to progress.
8th	2 8th (2) (22/1 +56%) Ciao Bellisima	22 22/1(+56%)	(2) Ciao Bellisima 22/1, Telescope mare and full-sister to Ercall Fox, who was modest at 16f. Dam was a chase winner up to 3m1f. Hard to fancy on debut. By Telescope out of 2m4f-3m1f chase winner; worth market check in first race of any kind.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 +56%) Just Jane	66 66/1(+56%)	(7) Just Jane 66/1, Outpaced when comfortably held in a mares' bumper at Hexham last time. Has since had a wind operation and wears a hood for the first time. Has it all to do. Well held in bumpers; reappears after wind op and with the addition of hood/tongue-strap.
10th	16 10th (16) (200/1 -33%) Ten Off Fifty	200 200/1(-33%)	(16) Ten Off Fifty 200/1, Moderate debut effort when down the field in an amateurs' bumper here last time. Effective at 3m in points but needs to show more. Folded tamely in bumper here in November; best watched on hurdling debut.
11th	9 11th (9) (18/1 +0%) Midnight Bella	18 18/1(+0%)	(9) Midnight Bella 18/1, Showed slight improvement on debut when well beaten in an amateurs' bumper here last time. Trainer in good form. Effective at 2m1f but needs to progress further. Three places behind Laffer Curve in bumper here last month but bred to make a hurdler.
12th	15 12th (15) (28/1 -75%) Shouldvebeenshav	28 28/1(-75%)	(15) Shouldvebeenshav 28/1, Made late gains but was comfortably held in a maiden bumper at Carlisle last time. Likely to prefer further than 2m4f and looks difficult to fancy. No threat in Carlisle bumper (28-1) last month; hood (worn in a point) is refitted.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (150/1 -50%) Courtcorrespondent	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Courtcorrespondent 150/1, From a yard that won this last year but pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time. Returns after a short break and looks hard to fancy. 80-1 and showed little in maiden hurdle at Hexham in October.
1	1 \|RR\| (1) (100/1 -100%) Callmesusie	100 100/1(-100%)	(1) Callmesusie 100/1, Bit below her previous best when fourth, beaten 14l in a point at Dingley last time. Returns from a long layoff and stays 3m in points, but needs to find plenty more. Sixth in bumper; 1-14 in points; others appeal more.

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

Scavengers Reign has been a model of consistency and is likely to be in the thick of the action once more, but LAFFER CURVE could be hard to hold out. Fourth in an Ascot bumper when with Tom Weston, she had to settle for fifth when sent off a short-priced favourite here on her debut for Dan Skelton but obstacles should bring out the best in her. Rosie Baloo and Halftheworldaway are others to consider.

The percentage call in an uncompetitive race is ROSIE BALOO who arrives with a bumper win as well as two third places over hurdles.

1	4 1st (4) (11/1 -10%) Bradman	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Bradman 11/1, Ran about to form when fourth, beaten 9 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m but needs to improve to get off the mark. 0-6 over hurdles but made a pleasing return when fourth of 11 here last month..
2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 +0%) Atlantic Power	4 4/1(+0%)	(6) Atlantic Power 4/1, Scored by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark here three runs ago and ran slightly below form when upped in trip to 3m last time. Effective between 2m and 2m6f on soft and good to soft ground, and the drop back in trip should help. Stamina stretched over 3m last time; only 1lb higher than for his course win in October..
1	1 \|B\| (1) (11/4 +58%) Motazzen	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(1) Motazzen 11/4, Won this race last year but produced a poor effort without obvious reason when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f on most ground except heavy and should bounce back after a short break. Course record of 112 includes a win in this race last year; in the equation back here..
2	2 \|B\| (2) (15/8 -7%) Morning Mayhem	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(2) Morning Mayhem 15/8, Enjoyed the testing ground and won going away by 7 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark in a handicap at Uttoxeter last time. Effective at 2m on heavy ground, the step up in trip may suit and he appears to be progressing well. Relished heavy ground when winning with authority at Uttoxeter; 3lb well in under penalty.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (7/2 -17%) King Of Highways	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(3) King Of Highways 7/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Plumpton last time and now wears cheekpieces for the first time. Effective at 2m on good to soft ground, he returns to hurdles and is well handicapped on his best novice form. Pulled up on his latest chase start and reverts to hurdles in first-time cheekpieces..

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

Motazzen invariably runs well here and won this race 12 months ago, but he's off 13lb higher this year which may anchor his chances. MORNING MAYHEM was a surprise winner at Uttoxeter last week and he only has to carry a 7lb penalty now and that leaves him 3lb well in. If he can repeat that form he could win again, leaving Bradman as the pick for third spot.

This looks a tight little handicap but last year's winner MOTAZZEN is taken to return to his best now that he is back on this track.

1	2 1st (2) (10/3 +26%) Analiese	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(2) Analiese 10/3, Improved, good attitude in landing a handicap by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S, GS; new mark asks more but looks progressive. Made all at Uttoxeter last time, beating Hard Dealt; may well remain competitive.
2	3 2nd (3) (4/1 +27%) Hard Dealt	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Hard Dealt 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Effective around 2m4f and acts on good to soft and good ground. Capable of a bold showing off this mark. Her two attempts over 2m4f were a win in May and good second to Analiese last time.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/4 -88%) Broomfield Aderra	2.25 9/4(-88%)	(1) Broomfield Aderra 9/4, Improved on hurdles debut when winning a maiden at Lingfield by 5 1/2l last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on good to soft ground. Likely to progress further now entering handicap company. Scored in clearcut style at Lingfield last time (second run for new yard); respected.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 -38%) Jammy Jay	22 22/1(-38%)	(7) Jammy Jay 22/1, Ran to form when finishing 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Hereford on her latest run. Effective at 2m on good ground and appears on a competitive mark. Maiden; latest effort suggests this return to 2m4f is worth exploring; could go well.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 -7%) The Secret Pearl	8 8/1(-7%)	(4) The Secret Pearl 8/1, Conceded first run at a sharp track but ran to form when beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft and good ground. Reliable and consistent performer. Has remained in form since April win; quite exposed but should give her running.
6th	5 6th (5) (12/1 +0%) Disco Annie	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Disco Annie 12/1, Outpaced and never threatened when 8 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Ludlow on her latest outing. Usually held up in her races. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Needs to prove herself back over hurdles. Opposed on the balance of her form this season; yet to win away from Carlisle.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/2 +40%) Sweet Magic	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(6) Sweet Magic 9/2, Needed run when fourth beaten 15l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m4f, acts on S, GS; maiden in fair form. Maiden; went very close off just 1lb lower in this race last year; possibilities back here.

Trainer Dan Skelton won this in 2023 and he looks to have every chance to add to that with top-weight BROOMFIELD ADERRA. The daughter of Walk In The Park showed plenty of improvement on her second start over hurdles when running on well at Lingfield to score by over five lengths, and another step forward may be all she needs. Uttoxeter winner Analiese might try to make all and appears her biggest danger, ahead of Sweet Magic.

Last year's runner-up SWEET MAGIC is taken to go one better. Broomfield Aderra is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (7/4 +42%) Ballyfad	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(1) Ballyfad 7/4, Improved to defy a penalty when showing a willing attitude to win a bumper at Punchestown by 1/2l last time; unbeaten in bumpers; a clear threat on hurdle debut. Point winner, has shown a good attitude in winning two bumpers, promising jumping type.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/6 0%) Leader D'allier	0.833333 5/6(0%)	(8) Leader D'allier 5/6, Stable won this last year; improved when winning a Grade 3 bumper at Vichy by 1 1/4l last time; unbeaten in France and has joined a top yard; likely type on hurdle debut. Five from six in AQPS events, sole runner for the champion trainer, could be hard to beat.
3	21 3rd (21) (8/1 +11%) Shoda	8 8/1(+11%)	(21) Shoda 8/1, Improved again when winning a handicap at Clonmel by a neck last time; progressive on flat and unexposed in this sphere; returns from a break and looks one of the picks on race times. Useful staying handicapper on Flat, ran twice as a juvenile hurdler, needs to find extra.
4	20 4th (20) (25/1 +38%) Saveforarainyday	25 25/1(+38%)	(20) Saveforarainyday 25/1, Showed minor promise on debut when beaten 6l in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2m on heavy ground and can improve further for top connections. Showed up well before fading into sixth in a 22-runner Navan maiden, open to improvement.
5th	14 5th (14) (11/2 -22%) Tim Toe	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(14) Tim Toe 11/2, Yard has won two of the last ten runnings; second beaten 2 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; effective at 2m on heavy ground and competitive on hurdle debut. Impressed in winning a bumper, untidy jumping proved costly at Gowran, still early days.

Willie Mullins won this last year with Kopek Des Bordes and he introduces a fascinating French recruit in LEADER D'ALLIER. The Cokoriko gelding won five in his native land, including a Grade 3 bumper, and is already prominent in the betting for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Ballyfad brings an unbeaten record to the table. He's had to dig deep to win a couple of bumpers recently and may improve for going over hurdles now. Tim Toe was beaten at a short price on his hurdling debut at Gowran, when making a few mistakes, but might sharpen up from that run.

French import LEADER D'ALLIER, a five-time winner in AQPS races, may emulate 2024 winner Kopek Des Bordes in scoring for Willie Mullins

Champagne Jury performed too badly to be true at the Punchestown Festival and a reproduction of his previous second to Honesty Policy at Leopardstown is sure to see him firmly involved. However, LOS BLANCO arrives on the back of a respectable third in handicap company at Gowran and he's slightly more compelling. Green Angel may fare best of the remainder.

If CHAMPAGNE JURY (nap) repeats the level of form he showed when runner-up behind Honesty Policy in March, he should be hard to beat

Dalston Lad has been too keen on both of his hurdling starts so far and connections will hope that first-time cheekpieces sharpen him up. Dan Skelton's charge might be too strong for recent Bangor winner Atlantic Lad, who has more to do under a penalty, but a chance can be taken on DALY BOY. The 60,000-pound purchase shaped with promise on his sole racecourse appearance at Ayr and progress is anticipated now sent over timber.

Atlantic Lad should go well but his penalty helps tip things the way of DALSTON LAD, who ran well when second at Doncaster last time

BERTUTEA showed promise on both hurdle starts at Auteuil earlier in the year and could prove a tough nut to crack on his first appearance for Willie Mullins.

No doubt BERTUTEA will come on from this first run since April, but he had two good runs at Auteuil in the spring and may be too classy

FLORITA proved a different proposition when making a winning chase bow at Market Rasen and there could be more to come from her in this discipline. Although the assessor has reacted with a 9lb hike in the ratings, Sam England's mare looks capable of better. Athair Mor has filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings and must enter calculations, along with the lightly-raced Bo Cruz.

Florita, 1-1 over fences, is feared but marginal preference is for recent C&D runner-up ATHAIR MOR.

Heltenham has to enter calculations on his second start after wind surgery, but he will need to improve after a 10-length second off this mark at Newbury last month. JOSH THE BOSS ticks plenty of boxes as a course winner over hurdles who arrives at the top of his game after an easy success at Doncaster and, although he has an added 7lb, he may well follow up. Minella Drama wasn't beaten far in the Old Roan here in October and is also noted.

With further progress plausible, JOSH THE BOSS could well win again. Heltenham is second choice.

Chris Gordon has a good record here and will be hoing to add to that with SUPERSTYLIN, a winner at Worcester in September and placed three times since. Up a couple of furlongs off the same mark as last time, he looks all set for another big run. Jackeline needs to brush up on her jumping to have a say here, so McGrath From Clune is the bigger danger despite unseating at Taunton last time out.

Kid gloves may be required to get the best out of SUPERSTYLIN but this is his easiest opportunity since winning in September.

Quickened clear for an easy 11l win in a Cork bumper on debut; that form franked; acts with cut; big player for top yard on hurdle debut. Impressive Cork bumper winner in April; major player switched to hurdles.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 -50%) Kilgame	18 18/1(-50%)	(10) Kilgame 18/1, The yard won this race last year. Quickened clear but made his move too soon when 16l third in a Wexford bumper. Returning from a long layoff and highly regarded; player if back to level of French form. Free-going sort needs to settle better now back hurdling.
4	16 4th (16) (33/1 -136%) Tyson Fury	33 33/1(-136%)	(16) Tyson Fury 33/1, Ran to form and needed the run when 7 1/4l third in a Dundalk handicap last time; should come on for that. Very useful flat performer has run well at Royal Ascot in the past; threat if stamina and jumping hold up on hurdle debut. 100-rated Flat performer; interesting contender on albeit belated hurdles debut.
5th	14 5th (14) (66/1 -32%) Pat's Legacy	66 66/1(-32%)	(14) Pat's Legacy 66/1, Very promising debut when well beaten in a Navan maiden hurdle on his sole start. Effective over 2 1/2m and on heavy ground. Should progress with experience. Okay debut effort at Navan last month but hard to see him improving enough.
6th	2 6th (2) (66/1 -32%) Eagle's Quest	66 66/1(-32%)	(2) Eagle's Quest 66/1, Ran to form when tiring late on up in trip on testing ground, finishing fourth beaten 18l in an auction hurdle at Punchestown. Effective at 2m and consistent early in his career. Ability in bumpers but lots to find on recent hurdles debut effort.

Travelled strongly and quickened clear before hanging and losing out late when second beaten 1 1/2l in a Punchestown bumper; may have won with stronger ride that day; ran huge race in Champion Bumper prior; leading claims starting out for new yard on hurdle debut. Smart bumper form last year for the Moore's; bought for 410,000GBP and debuts for top yard.
10th	17 10th (17) (200/1 -33%) Umpire's Call	200 200/1(-33%)	(17) Umpire's Call 200/1, Pulled up in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last time and has everything to prove. Never counted before pulled up on Punchestown debut 12 days ago; can only be watched.

12th	12 12th (12) (150/1 -88%) Navagio	150 150/1(-88%)	(12) Navagio 150/1, Raced a bit too freely when beaten 5 1/4l in a Nottingham handicap last time. Multiple flat winner is back from a short break and difficult to fancy on hurdle debut. Fair sort on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh; watching brief advised on hurdles debut.
13th	13 13th (13) (33/1 0%) Ozark's Walk	33 33/1(0%)	(13) Ozark's Walk 33/1, Ran to form when second beaten 1/2l in a Kilbeggan bumper on latest start. Steadily progressive in that sphere before a break but needs to improve plenty to be competitive. Dual bumper runner-up needs to improve for switch to hurdles to play a role here.
14th	20 14th (20) (200/1 -33%) Is She Now	200 200/1(-33%)	(20) Is She Now 200/1, Poor run when down the field in a Dundalk handicap last time. Effective at 2m on good ground and showing gradual progress. Rated a modest 87 and hardly likely to offer a threat in a maiden such as this.
15th	4 15th (4) (150/1 +25%) Genuine Article	150 150/1(+25%)	(4) Genuine Article 150/1, Made a poor debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Navan. The trainer is in form. Effective at 1m and handles soft ground. Useful on the Flat but stamina remains to be proven over hurdles. 92-rated Flat performer but no show on recent hurdles debut; can only be watched for now.

Green and poor debut when well beaten in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle on her only start. Returning from a long layoff and has plenty to prove. Tailed off after never featuring on Fairyhouse debut in January; best watched on return.
17th	6 17th (6) (150/1 -50%) Goin'	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Goin' 150/1, Modest debut when poorly placed to challenge in a Down Royal maiden hurdle. In good form prior and returns from a short break. Formerly Listed placed in Germany and likely to progress over hurdles in time. Well held on hurdles debut at Down Royal last month, likely to need more time.
18th	21 18th (21) (200/1 -33%) Marions Diva	200 200/1(-33%)	(21) Marions Diva 200/1, Modest effort when down the field in a Navan maiden hurdle. Looks one for the future. Beaten a long way in maidens at Down Royal and Navan.
19th	8 19th (8) (100/1 -52%) Good Time Tommy	100 100/1(-52%)	(8) Good Time Tommy 100/1, Showed up well for a long way on debut but was well beaten in a Roscommon bumper on his sole start. Absent for a lengthy spell and faces a stiff task starting out over hurdles. Midfield in Roscommon bumper for Shark Hanlon; best watched on hurdles debut.
20th	18 20th (18) (125/1 +17%) Urban War	125 125/1(+17%)	(18) Urban War 125/1, Ran to form when down the field in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. Returns from a short break and is a useful Flat handicapper suited by a sound surface. More to come but probably in handicaps. Mild promise in maidens at Punchestown and Fairyhouse; likely more one for handicaps.
21st	5 21st (5) (150/1 +25%) Gerrymandering	150 150/1(+25%)	(5) Gerrymandering 150/1, Has shown no worthwhile form to date and is yet to demonstrate any ability. Never sighted at Punchestown in June; back from a break and easily passed over.

DOCTOR DU MESNIL beat a decent sort in Thedeviluno in impressive fashion on his debut in a Cork bumper back in April and looks like an exciting prospect. The Doctor Dino gelding is already prominent in the ante-post betting for the Cheltenham novice hurdles and can make a winning start over jumps. The obvious danger is El Cairos, on his first start for Gordon Elliott. The No Risk At All gelding was fifth in the Champion Bumper last term and cost connections 410,000 pounds at the sales recently. Impressive Galway bumper winner Murat did a bit too much in front on his jumping debut at Naas and, if he settles a bit better, he could go well.

A high-class maiden in which DOCTOR DU MESNIL is narrowly preferred to El Cairos and Murat on hurdles debut

Cosy winner of his sole Irish point in April; watch market on hurdle/stable debut.
5th	8 5th (8) (80/1 +0%) Sugar Road	80 80/1(+0%)	(8) Sugar Road 80/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time; had shown promise over 12f on the Flat but yet to prove stamina over hurdles and has something to prove at present. 0-7 on the Flat and not much in two starts over hurdles; others more convincing.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 -178%) Korkoran	25 25/1(-178%)	(5) Korkoran 25/1, Raced too freely and produced a modest debut after a wind operation when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Lingfield last time; second run since the procedure and may do better now hurdling over a shorter trip. Won an Irish point last year, but has since disappointed in a bumper and a hurdle.

Poor in four starts on the Flat for Grant Tuer; makes no appeal on stable/hurdles debut.

Quaviste was still in contention when falling here last month. He could bounce back representing a trainer that has won five of the last nine renewals, while Japetus won a maiden hurdle over C&D and also merits consideration, despite his penalty. However, a large chunk of FOUR SPRINGS' penalty is negated by his conditional rider's 5lb allowance, so Ben Pauling's charge is taken to confirm the promise of his emphatic victory at Hereford and go in again.

Preference is for FOUR SPRINGS who looks a nice type after his wins in an Irish point and a Hereford novice hurdle.

Lightly raced; weighted to reverse Exeter reappearance placings with U Cant Be Serious.

Recent form includes a Wincanton win but he's a lot more exposed than today's rivals.
3	5 3rd (5) (22/1 -175%) Jasmine Bliss	22 22/1(-175%)	(5) Jasmine Bliss 22/1, Well backed but keen and possibly found the ground a bit quick when down the field in the ‘National Hunt' Mares' Novice Handicap Hurdle (Grade 2) at Newbury last time; had been in good form prior and returns from a long layoff; open to marked improvement now chasing but may just need this. Generally progressive mare who is a point/bumper/hurdles winner; one to consider.

In good form over 2m since switched to fences and should be as effective back up in trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 +42%) Queensbury Boy	7 7/1(+42%)	(2) Queensbury Boy 7/1, All but brought down late and eased when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Cheltenham last time; effective around 2 1/2m and should come on for that latest run; highly tried over hurdles and worth another chance over fences. He was in the process of showing promise when badly hampered on chase/stable debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/4 +30%) Noble Park	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(4) Noble Park 7/4, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race; landed a handicap by 24l off an 11lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; effective at 2 1/2m and acts on any ground; latest form franked and more to come over fences, could complete the hat-trick. Two from two since switched to chasing; form of easy success last time has been franked.
7th	3 7th (3) (22/1 -38%) Krak	22 22/1(-38%)	(3) Krak 22/1, Keen and paid the price for trying to go with the winner when 22l third in a handicap chase at Sandown most recently; effective around 2 1/2m and may need some cut; can do better for new yard judged on Irish hurdle form. Ex-Irish; something to find on his two efforts for new yard, latest switched to fences.

On a fair mark on hurdle form but not dismissed. Should make a chaser and he's bred to take well to this scenario; interesting contender.

NOBLE PARK has improved plenty for the switch to fences and looked particularly impressive at Lingfield at the end of last month. That form was given a boost by the runner-up at Ascot last week and going up 11lb doesn't seem likely to stop Nicky Henderson's six-year-old from taking another step up the ladder. U Cant Be Serious has won twice at Exeter and commands respect, although it wouldn't be a major surprise if Barlovento, who was just denied by him in November, can reverse the form on 7lb better terms.

With further progress plausible, NOBLE PARK is taken to complete a hat-trick. Epic West is second choice.

A field of this size grants opportunities for each-way options to be considered. Back To Cali, Centaq and Boston Bobby all fit the bill as shortlist material based on their peak form, while Southey could go well if granted a run. However, the lightly-weighted Esticky End and THE TOOTHPICKER might shine brightest. The latter has dropped to a competitive rating and, a Wexford fall aside, has shown steady improvement in all three starts since returning from a lengthy absence. This may be within reach with another step forward.

A chance is taken on the bottom weight ESTICKY END who shaped like this sort of trip would suit when running on for fifth at Thurles

Improved notably on his third hurdles start when second, beaten 2l, in a maiden hurdle at Kelso last time. Effective at 2m and on soft or good ground; continues to make progress. Progressive hurdler; needs to raise his game again but no surprise should he do so.

This can go to COUNTRY PARK, who returned to finish a close-up third at Market Rasen in October. The gelded son of Walk In The Park hasn't been seen since, but he reappears with his yard amongst the winners and is the one to beat on official ratings. Bohemond Antioch and Gintime both have fewer miles on the clock over hurdles and are capable should the selection misfire.

Country Park has the best form but he may not be one for skinny odds and preference is for the progressive BOHEMOND ANTIOCH.

BLACKSAMSSENORITA enjoyed a consistent season over hurdles and made the perfect start when switched to the larger obstacles at Uttoxeter last month. The six-year-old showcased her versatility regarding ground conditions on that occasion and she is entitled to progress further in this discipline. Alfie's Princess returns from a lengthy spell on the sidelines, but fitness is unlikely to be an issue and she is capable of building on her first run over fences at Ffos Las. Clotilda and Another Day Out appear best of the remainder.

Clotilda and Alfie's Princess are respected but Uttoxeter winner BLACKSAMSSENORITA can improve over this trip and gets the nod.

Oneinthewell posted his best effort over hurdles when fifth at Huntingdon and market support on his handicap bow may prove significant. However, an opening mark of 104 does demand improvement and preference is for BROOKSIDE LA. Dan Skelton's gelding has shaped encouragingly on all three outings over timber and an opening mark of 99 could prove lenient. Big Boy Barney is also worth a second look reverting to the smaller obstacles.

Oneinthewell and BROOKSIDE LA rather stand out as likely improvers in handicaps for their top stables, with the latter preferred.

With five of the eight declared a winner last time out this looks competitive, though the unbeaten MYDADDYPADDY is the obvious pick. His bumper win at Huntingdon was followed by an impressive success over hurdles at Carlisle and a seven-length victory at Haydock, and a win here will see his odds shorten further for Cheltenham. Idaho Sun's only defeat was a sixth in the Champion Bumper, while Starmount arrives unexposed after an impressive Wetherby win.

The unbeaten MYDADDYPADDY has impressed on all three starts and can take this rise in grade in his stride.

Chris Gordon and the Moore family have won five of the last seven renewals of this contest and they may have it between them once more. FORTUNE TIMMY took a maiden hurdle here in October and ran well enough when third at Kempton to be the pick. Fashion Hunter was a huge price when fourth at Newbury first time out, suggesting he can only improve for the experience, and he may get the better of bumper winner Rathkenny in the race for second.

Chris Gordon's FORTUNE TIMMY looks a useful prospect and should find this easier than the Kempton race in which he finished third.

NARCISO HAS should improve from his initial showing at Fairyhouse late last month and could prove the one to beat. The Doctor Dino gelding made a slight mistake at the last that day when chasing home Mange Tout in Grade 3 company and Mullins stated after the race that he thought the run would leave him right for this target. Gordon Elliott is represented by Barbizon and the King Of Change gelding looks like the obvious danger after an impressive start over timber at Navan last month. Ben Hur is another for the shortlist.

Beaten by the Gordon Elliott-trained Mange Tout when favourite on his Irish debut at Fairyhouse, NARCISO HAS should be sharper now

STRATUSNINE won over 6f here on only his second outing of the year. He's been raised 8lb for that convincing success but, given he finished second in a valuable sales race over 7f at York last term, Hugo Palmer's unexposed charge could have plenty more to offer over today's trip. Flag Of St George and Legal Reform are old foes with the former coming out best of that pair when second at Lingfield last time, while the in-form Tribal Wisdom is not out of this either.

The unexposed STRATUSNINE (nap) won with authority over 6f here 18 days ago and can take the 8lb rise in his stride.

Fourth over timber at Huntingdon recently, Clap Of Thunder will need to improve off his current mark on his first start over fences, but NORDIC TIGER looks more attractively weighted. Harry Derham's charge finished a respectable second at Ludlow on his chasing bow and, having won off a 2lb higher mark over hurdles, the six-year-old is set to make another bold bid. Benmore is preferred to Kykorock and Maghlaak of the recent winners.

This can go to KYKOROCK who did it nicely on his chase debut at Warwick last time and that form has been franked.

Kitzbuhel made a promising start over fences at Punchestown, shaping as though he would appreciate stepping back up in trip. However, it is worth remembering how free he was when tried over 3m at Aintree in the spring and the vote goes to WENDIGO. An unlucky fifth in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham, he built on his chasing debut when staying on strongly to win the John Francome at Newbury and the return to 3m promises to bring about plenty of improvement. Salver won in style at Sandown earlier in the month and is another who is unexposed over this distance.

It was a professional start over fences at Punchestown for KITZBUHEL who reached a smart level in just a handful of hurdle runs.

Gavin Cromwell has trained the last two winners and GLENASHLING in one to take seriously. He finished a close second at Punchestown on his penultimate start and looks to have strong claims in this company with a repeat. Supreme Jet posted a better effort when runner-up at Cork on only his second start over the larger obstacles. He looks a bigger threat than Swing Davis, who could prove best of her yard's three runners.

This trip raises questions for Glenashling so SUPREME JET gets the vote after his promising effort at Cork last month

DIXIE COWBOY was conceding 6lb to Huit Reflets when he had him two lengths back in third when scoring over this C&D last month. With Tom Midgley's 3lb claim off-setting the majority of a 5lb higher mark, the Sam England-trained gelding can repeat the feat. The selection was anchored by heavy ground when attempting to follow up at Hexham 16 days ago but his second-placed finish confirmed he remains in good nick. Zara's Universe and Take Centre Stage are the pick of the rest.

The tip is TAKE CENTRE STAGE (nap), whose last run may well have come too quickly. He's worth another chance in first-time blinkers.

Konfusion could prove popular after bolting up in the Rehearsal at Newcastle last month, but he has an added 10lb for that success and will need to improve. KNAPPERS HILL was off the course for two years before returning with a fourth at Haydock in November, but he's off a mark of 145 here and could be well handicapped if back to his best. The recent Cheltenham winner Marble Sands appears best of the rest.

The way KONFUSION (nap) had them strung out in the Rehearsal at Newcastle suggests he could still be well treated after a 10lb rise.

Formerly a smart Graded winner but must prove how much ability remains. 12yo who returned from long absence with promising fifth over C&D three weeks ago; chance.

Effective between 2m and 3m. His Grade 2 win looks weak enough but the mark remains competitive. Seventh of 18 in the Greatwood last time and the step back up in trip may be a positive.

Bear Market has continued his upward trajectory since racing under the tutelage of Mel Rowley in November and a 4lb rise for his latest victory over C&D shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, INDEEVAR BLEU arrives on the back of a good second in the Gerry Feilden at Newbury and that form could prove to be slightly stronger. The consistent Florida Dreams and Dedicated Hero are others to consider.

The step up in trip could prove ideal for the lightly raced 7yo INDEEVAR BLEU, who kept on strongly over 2m at Newbury last time.

It is hard to get away from JALISCO STAR, who thumped her rivals at Uttoxeter to record a fourth hurdling success. A 7lb rise makes things tougher for the mare but Sean O'Connor's 7lb claim will be a big help, and each of her rivals have a bit to prove. Malago Rose has let down favourite backers on each of her last two starts but cannot be ruled out, and neither can Kruger Park, who ought to benefit from a drop in class.

A chance is taken on KRUGER PARK whose return to form at Newbury came in a higher grade.

Effective from 2m to 2m5f, acts on any ground, and looks to have more to offer over hurdles. Navan comeback win augurs well and 8lb rise possibly lenient; more likely.

Effective from 12f to 14f and acts on heavy and good ground; progressive when last seen in this sphere; opening mark lenient; very interesting. Solid form in novice events, more needed to play a major role on handicap debut.

The trainer is in form and she is unexposed in this sphere. Thrown in on chase form at looks the one to beat. Recent chase winner; drop in trip may not suit but respected off 16lb lower hurdles mark.
6th	16 6th (16) (100/1 -203%) Walk On Annilog	100 100/1(-203%)	(16) Walk On Annilog 100/1, Below form when up in class and well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last time. Previously in good form, effective at 2m on good ground; consistent in maidens but her opening mark demands more. Absent since June and best watched on handicap debut unless market suggests otherwise.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/2 +27%) The Store Boy	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(7) The Store Boy 11/2, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time, having been in good form prior. Effective at 2m on good to yielding ground; consistent in maidens and capable of better, likely to stay further. Testing ground may not have suited at Navan; remains potential improver on handicap debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (11/2 -22%) Powerful	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(1) Powerful 11/2, Ran to form when benefiting from a drop in grade, landing a handicap by a short head off a 7lb lower mark at Punchestown last time.

Returning from a break; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m and suited by a sound surface; generally consistent prior to that run. Maiden has posted some good runs in defeat up to 2m5f but opposable on recent form.

Effective at 2m, acts on any ground; in form and should go well. 2lb rise for recent Cork second looks harsh; still prone to jumping errors.
12th	8 12th (8) (13/2 +28%) Welluknow	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(8) Welluknow 13/2, Improved when back down in trip, landing a handicap by a neck off an 8lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time.

Returning from a break and effective from 2m to 2m2f on good ground; more to come, though her opening mark asks a question. Much improved for Downpatrick maiden win; contender if handling softer conditions.

The four-year-old JACKO STAR looks interesting here on his handicap debut. The son of Yeats, and smart mare Jacksonslady, has shaped with promise in maiden hurdles and wasn't far away when fourth at Gowran Park last time. A mark of 109 doesn't look harsh. Spinola Bay was perhaps value for a bit more than his winning margin at Navan last time and he could be a big player despite an 8lb rise for that effort. Powerful just got up to win at Punchestown last month and is another to bear in mind.

Recent Navan winner SPINOLA BAY (nap) could have got off lightly with an 8lb rise and can follow up

WELCHESTON WARRIER shaped well to finish third at Leicester on his return to action. The runner-up has subsequently boosted that form and the five-year-old looks on a workable mark on only his third start in a handicap. Gms Prince scored over a shorter trip here in September and could have a say in proceedings, while Roxby Belle has more scope than most and offered something to work on when third at Carlisle.

The vote goes to ROXBY BELLE (nap) who ran well when third at Carlisle last month. A couple of those in behind won their next starts.

Sovereign Wealth looks a shade high in the weights on the evidence of his recent placed efforts on the Polytrack. That could swing things the way of HEART BEATS TRUE, who may well prove better than her opening mark having returned the impressive winner in novice company at Southwell last month. Sovereign Ocean was set a stiff task in the Acomb at York in August and this could prove more his level.

Sovereign Ocean on his stable debut is second choice behind HEART BEATS TRUE who has progressed with each start.

Just as she did in the Champion Hurdle, Golden Ace took full advantage of a couple of high-profile fallers to land her second Grade 1 in the Fighting Fifth. The likeable mare might have her work cut out, though, as this could be all about the returning SIR GINO. A perfect six from six so far, Nicky Henderson's charge stormed to victory on his chasing debut in the Wayward Lad here last Christmas before a serious infection put paid to his Arkle tilt. If back at his best, he's sure to take all the beating. Rubaud is two from two since reverting to hurdles and wouldn't be without a squeak, although he and Celtic Dino might only play supporting roles.

Assuming all is well, SIR GINO looks set to maintain his unbeaten record. Golden Ace and Celtic Dino look best of the remainder.

It looks best to side with DUCE BIGALOW, who put a lacklustre chasing effort behind him to fill the runner-up spot at Naas. Seamus Neville's charge has much less to prove than many on that evidence and, should stepping up in trip be beneficial, he could go one place better. Baltinglass Hill has been running well in defeat of late and is expected to be thereabouts again, while others to note include I A Connect and Walk In The Sea.

Narrow preference is for I A CONNECT who may be able to exploit his 12lb lower chase mark after two solid recent runs over hurdles

Summergrounds has been knocking on the door and, with Ella McGarry able to claim 10lb in the saddle, there are good reasons to expect another bold showing. However, it's hard to ignore that DEVON SKIES has won two of her last three starts at this venue, including a C&D success last month. With further improvement possible, she can make the most of getting weight all round here. Blue Fin is another strong contender.

Devon Skies has a chance despite her 21lb rise for last month's three wins but slight preference is for C&D winner SIGN AGAIN.

MUSKOKA seemed to appreciate a first-time visor when second at Ascot last time and the seven-year-old has every chance of returning to winning ways in what looks an open contest on paper. Wicked Thoughts scored on his chasing debut at Taunton and has to be respected off 3lb higher, while the application of cheekpieces may see Go To War in a better light.

The suggestion is dual course winner PEDLEY WOOD, who moves back up in trip after a pleasing reappearance at Exeter last month.

KATIE DANIELS is the one to beat on the evidence of a really impressive Fairyhouse maiden hurdle success. Now sent handicapping for the first time, the former point-to-point scorer looks well treated off 110 and should have more improvement in her. Carried With Love has been running well without winning and must enter calculations, while Cousin Kate is another with solid form claims.

Left with a fair bit to do at Tramore last time, COUSIN KATE made late headway to take third and has a win in her off this mark.

Malicash looks interesting in first-time cheekpieces and with Charlie Maggs claiming 5lb from the saddle. The six-year-old could go close off his current mark if the headgear has a positive effect. Be The Difference landed a hat-trick at Sedgefield recently but has been put up 8lb for that and this class demands more from him, so GLEN ROAD is the pick. His last win at Kelso over further has seen him upped 7lb, but he may still be a step ahead of the handicapper.

Glen Road is on a hat-trick but the runner with the most potential is DAYLATEDOLLARSHORT who can improve for the step up in trip.

Having supplemented an encouraging fifth-placed chase bow at Cheltenham with a win at Exeter last month, there could be more to come from BLENKINSOP. A 5lb higher mark looks workable for Henry Daly's charge and a double could be on the cards. Jonjo & A J O'Neill have their string in good order and last year's winner Fortunate Man isn't taken lightly on his return, with the downgraded Duke Of Deception the pick of the remainder.

Having made a good impression when winning at Exeter last month on his second chase start, BLENKINSOP (nap) is taken to follow up.

GRAND CONQUEROR didn't show much in novice/maiden events, but it was a different story when sent handicapping for the first time at Plumpton. Neil Mulholland's charge must shoulder a penalty for that cosy success and a drop in trip might not play to his strengths, but each of these rivals have questions to answer too. Risk It All struggled at Doncaster but could show more on his second start after wind surgery, whilst No Mean Feat is taken to come home in front of Ami Bondhu.

1	4 1st (4) (8/15 +20%) Romeo Coolio	0.533333 8/15(+20%)	(4) Romeo Coolio 8/15, Dual Grade 1 winner, including the Drinmore Novice Chase at Fairyhouse by 8l last time; effective at 2–2 1/2m and suited by decent ground; top-class novice chaser and a leading contender for the spring festivals who shouldn't be inconvenienced by drop in trip as a former Grade 1 winner over hurdles; the one to beat. Top-class novice hurdler last term, Drinmore winner is potentially an outstanding chaser.
2	2 2nd (2) (12/1 -71%) Irish Panther	12 12/1(-71%)	(2) Irish Panther 12/1, Jumped well and went clear with ease when winning a beginners' chase at Naas by 8l last time; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; progressing and looks a very useful chasing recruit. Useful handicap hurdle form, Naas win suggests he is already a better horse over fences.

Respectable third behind Kopek Des Bordes on chasing debut at Navan, up against it here.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/2 -13%) Salvator Mundi	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(5) Salvator Mundi 9/2, A bit below hurdle form on chase debut, doing too much early and setting it up for his stablemate when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a beginners' chase at Thurles; a Grade 1 winner over hurdles; suited by 2m on good ground and capable of better dropped in trip. Beat Romeo Coolio at Aintree, can run too freely, questions to answer after Thurles defeat.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 +24%) Break My Soul	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Break My Soul 50/1, Ran to form but was outclassed when fourth, beaten 28l, in the Order Of St George Mares Novice Chase (Grade 2) at Cork last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m and acts on any ground; thriving since joining this yard but vulnerable in this class.

Has experience edge but more needed again up in class. Three wins from four starts as a second-season novice this term; trainer's second-string.

Galway Hurdle winner in 2024, well below his best since second in the Ascot Stakes.

It looks hard to oppose ROMEO COOLIO here after two impressive displays over fences. The Kayf Tara gelding put some decent rivals in their place in the Drinmore at Fairyhouse late last month and should have no issues with the drop back in trip. Salvator Mundi was turned over at a very short price on his chase debut at Thurles but may improve a bit from that experience and could chase home the selection. Irish Panther made a fine start over fences when scoring at Naas but faces a much stiffer task now.

A Grade 1 novice hurdle winner at this fixture last year and winner of the Drinmore Chase at Fairyhouse, ROMEO COOLIO looks the part

This represents DELGANY DEADLINE's third start in a handicap and he could improve past his rivals. Dan Skelton's charge finished a fair fourth over an extended 2m3f at Chepstow on his return and may have more to offer over this longer trip. Orange Diamond has tasted success in three of his five outings for the Tom Ellis stable and put in another good display when second at Doncaster last time, so he has to be respected. Hawkseye View is the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for DELGANY DEADLINE who made a promising return at Chepstow last month and has run well over this far over hurdles.

The narrow winner at Newcastle recently, Dolos Dream faces a tougher test under her penalty. She's still preferred to Carlisle runner-up She's Divine and the frustrating Green Dame, but it could pay to take a chance on HARMONISED. The Night Of Thunder filly missed the break and failed to get a clear run when fourth at Southwell on debut, and a bold bid is anticipated here with normal luck in-running.

Green Dame seems likely to run a big race but HARMONISED, who was in need of the experience on debut, may improve past her.

Effective from 2m4f to 3m on soft or good ground. Retains potential after injury and a contender back over the C&D of his Grade 1 success with bold jumping an asset.

Trainer in form, second run after wind surgery. Effective 2–2½m and best on decent ground. Top class and hasn't finished improving.

Effective 2m4f–3m on soft or good to soft. A touch unlucky last time, one of the best chasers around, and this sharp track should suit given others are stronger stayers at the trip. 4 Grade 1 wins; suspicion a shorter trip is optimal, but a leading candidate nevertheless.

Effective at 2m and just about stays 2½m. Generally consistent but looks better suited by a shorter trip and likely outclassed at the top level. Two-time 2m Grade 2 winner; 3m may be within range but a clear career best is needed.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (20/1 -11%) Il Est Francais	20 20/1(-11%)	(5) Il Est Francais 20/1, Dual Grade 1 winner; narrowly denied in this last year having done plenty early; pulled up in the 1965 Chase (Grade 2) at Ascot last time. Effective around 2½m and only just stays 3m. Erratic but classy when on song and seems to like this venue where he won the 2024 Feltham (Grade 1). Very up and down, pulled up at Ascot latest; Kempton factor means he's worth a second look.

This prize has made it's way back across the Irish Sea for three of the last four years and might do so once more courtesy of GAELIC WARRIOR. Willie Mullins' seven-year-old is not without his quirks, but things really clicked into gear at the end of last season, landing the Bowl at Aintree before following up at Sandown. He returned to deny stable companion Fact To File in a pulsating John Durkan and although little should separate the pair again, Gaelic Warrior can continue his love affair with right-handed tracks. Nicky Henderson is without a King George victory since the enigmatic Might Bite obliged in 2017 but Arkle winner Jango Baie looks a live threat, especially with this trip sure to suit. Djelo adds strength to the home contingent, and it would be dangerous to rule out last year's one-two Banbridge and Il Est Francais.

Having thrived since being upped to 3m1f at Aintree, GAELIC WARRIOR (nap) can post his fourth win in a row and sixth Grade 1 success.

Con's Roc ran out an easy winner at Fairyhouse last month and remains open to plenty of improvement being so lightly raced for his age. However, he comes up against the toughest opposition in his career to date, with 2023 hero ITS ON THE LINE likely to come out on top. Having finished runner-up for the second consecutive year at Cheltenham, he made it back-to-back victories at Punchestown and arrives here following a run in the pointing sphere. The Goffer and Willitgoahead appear to be a formidable team for Gordon Elliott and they enter calculations too.

It could pay to overlook the established hunters in favour of THE GOFFER who reverts from the cross-country category

LIVANO BELLO bumped into a progressive rival when filling second place over 2m5f at this venue three weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see him go one better on this occasion, despite a 2lb rise. Miss Friday Lions showed more at Newcastle last time and has to be noted on her handicap bow, while Top Flight Century is the pick of the remainder.

Although Livano Bello is the one to beat, a chance is taken on KAVIAR WOOD on his first run at 2m4f over hurdles.

Begin The Luck, a winner off higher over hurdles and fences, can go well but RIP WHEELER is on an upward curve with two victories from two starts over fences, both over this trip. An added 6lb may underestimate his abilities, with the chance of more to come. Fellow hat-trick seeker Atreides might give him the most to do, despite an 8lb rise for a win at Fontwell.

Alan King's GETURGUCCION drops from 0-120 grade after running well for a long way on her seasonal/chase debut and appeals most.

MOUDAN was a close-up third in a beginners' chase at Clonmel earlier this month and could be hard to beat with another step forward on his handicap debut over fences. Anotherway was fifth in a race that has the potential to work out well and he also warrants close inspection in the betting, while Ad Caelum is back at a more winnable level after finding life tough in a Grade 2 at Cork most recently.

With the proviso that he could easily fall at any time, MOUDAN is capable of taking this with a clear round

It was hard not to be impressed by Big City Roller's chasing debut when bolting up at Bangor in February and he needs to be considered, along with the recent Newcastle third Joecooker. However, GET UP MUSH readily justified favouritism at Warwick when last seen in September 2024 and returns off just a 4lb higher rating. The unexposed seven-year-old could prove a tough nut to crack on his return.

Charlie Longsdon's BIG CITY ROLLER had plenty to spare on his Bangor chase debut in February and can follow up on his return.

THROATLASH won impressively on his second start over fences at Wetherby last month and a 7lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. That said, Chuggy is an obvious threat after he easily secured a hat-trick at Warwick a couple of weeks ago, while Juby Ball is another recent winner with strong form claims.

Topweight JUBY BALL brings potential to his handicap debut and gets the narrow vote over Chuggy, who bids for a chase four-timer.

Esperti dug deep when regaining the winning thread at Ffos Las and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold showing. However, it could be worth taking a chance on chase debutant MINELLA KAISER, who may have needed his third-placed handicap bow at Plumpton last month. Midnight Gold's mark continues to fall and she could also have a say in a first-time visor.

Chasing newcomer Minella Kaiser is feared most but preference is for RECORD HIGH to enhance his decent course record.

TRASNA NA PAIRCE bumped into a well-handicapped rival in Bridie's Beau at Clonmel last time and looks capable of scoring off his current mark. The Walk In The Park gelding did little wrong last time, headed going to the last after making the running, and is only 2lb higher now. It looked like a hot enough contest in which Chance Another One finished a moderate fourth last time and he is respected back in handicap company. Addragoole remains unexposed over fences and is another to note.

First and second in two of his three handicap chases; clear of the third last time.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +25%) Ivane	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Ivane 12/1, Scored by 2l off a 9lb lower mark at Sedgefield three starts back. Made mistakes and ran below form when fourth, beaten 12l off 118 last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m5f and acts on any going; had been thriving since moving from Ireland. Even if jumping better than last time his current mark could be an issue.
3	10 3rd (10) (11/2 +27%) Queens Wish	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(10) Queens Wish 11/2, Travelled strongly and won cosily by 4 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Southwell last time when improving up in trip. Effective from 2m to 3m and acts on good to soft and good ground; well treated on previous hurdle form and could follow up. 3m winner at Southwell; up in trip in a stronger race but she's not discounted.

With his trainer in form, enjoys making the running, effective at 3m, and acts on soft and good ground. Jumps well for an inexperienced chaser and his yard won this last year.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/1 -80%) Copshill Lad	9 9/1(-80%)	(7) Copshill Lad 9/1, Won by 3l off a 2lb lower mark at Hereford on his penultimate start; ran to form when third, beaten 6l off 109 last time. Effective at 3m and acts on soft or good ground; consistent and with his recent form franked, remain competitive. Up and down over hurdles but first and third in his two chases at Hereford (3m1f).
6th	2 6th (2) (11/1 +45%) Mt Fugi Park	11 11/1(+45%)	(2) Mt Fugi Park 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Exeter last time on his second run after a wind operation. Effective over 3m and acts on good ground, though his form has been inconsistent. Won as a novice but didn't run much of a race last month after a break and wind surgery.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +13%) Finn Lough	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) Finn Lough 14/1, Up in trip and grade when not staying and comfortably held in a Newcastle handicap chase last time. Effective from 3m to 3m2f and acts on good to soft or good ground; drop back in distance should suit. 3m6f was perhaps a stretch last time at Newcastle and he's not on a bad mark.
8th	1 8th (1) (12/1 -9%) Sound And Fury	12 12/1(-9%)	(1) Sound And Fury 12/1, Won by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Carlisle on his penultimate start; challenged too early off a strong pace when sixth, beaten 17l off 125 last time. Effective from 3m to 3m1/4f, acts on any going and is generally consistent. 3-7 over fences; excuses came to light last time and chance here if the wheels stay on.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (25/1 -56%) You Some Girl	25 25/1(-56%)	(5) You Some Girl 25/1, Below her chase level when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Catterick last time. Effective up to 3m and acts on good ground; a major player back over hurdles. Unbeaten over fences and could figure on handicap debut. Unproven beyond 3m1f but she won her only previous race over fences.

Ali Star Bert won going away to complete a double at Southwell and boasts obvious claims, but QUEENS WISH's triumph at the same venue was arguably more impressive last month. The daughter of Shantou made her way through the field to score readily that day and may have been worth more than the winning margin suggests, so she can defy her 7lb rise. Red Delta completes the shortlist.

This looks open but THE BIG BREAC should run well for last year's winning stable. He's an assured stayer and jumps well.

8th	9 8th (9) (11/2 +45%) Catch Cunningham	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(9) Catch Cunningham 11/2, Ran poorly when beaten 9l in a handicap at Southwell last time and has been off a short break. Suited by 5f and a sound surface but his form had been going the wrong way before the layoff. On a good mark and this C&D winner may have been freshened up by a three-month break.

Successful in three of her last four starts, Hint Of Humour rates a serious player, while Level Up and Beaumadier also merit consideration based on peak form. However, preference is for EL BUFALO, a previous C&D winner who went close at Lingfield on his latest start. He looks worth chancing cutting back to the minimum trip from 3lb below his last winning mark.

Westgate Warrior still has more to offer but HINT OF HUMOUR is improving all the time and can go in again.

KLUB DE REVE brings a decent level of hurdling form to the table, with his fourth at Newbury followed by him filling the runner-up spot at Exeter, and Harry Derham's gelding has an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. Lock Stock has been knocking on the door this season and is capable of going close along with Zamek, who finished second at Lingfield on his first spin over timber.

Harry Derham and Paul O'Brien combined to win this race in 2023 and in KLUB DE REVE they have another appealing contender.

Master Haku finished a good way clear of the third when just touched off at Cork and commands respect on his first outing in this sphere. Long Goodbye produced an encouraging effort when second at Thurles in October and is noted, but the vote goes to BOYCETOWN. Gavin Cromwell's gelding shaped with lots of promise when filling the runner-up spot at Punchestown and with any amount of improvement to come, he looks the way to go.

It might be worth chancing MOON SKY whose Listowel form is working out nicely and he could take a big step forward from that outing

DRAKARIS was well held when filling second place on her racecourse debut over C&D a month ago, but Dan Skelton's filly looks sure to improve for that experience. With that in mind, she gets the vote over Eskylady, who was bought for 260,000 pounds after winning an Irish point in October. Red Wine Supernova must be given plenty of respect too.

This may be between RED WINE SUPERNOVA and Eskylady, with preference for David Pipe's runner who ran well on debut before falling.

TINY TETLEY's yard has won three of the last four renewals, suggesting the seven-year-old has a big chance on his return to timber after failing to make his mark over fences. His best hurdling form includes a neck second off 3lb lower at Haydock in May and a repeat of that would see him involved. Absolutely Doyen has won all three since joining Paul Nicholls and now rises in class, while his stable companion Stay Away Fay is well handicapped if he can recapture some sparkle.

3m duly proved an asset for ABSOLUTELY DOYEN (nap) when he scored stylishly at Ascot. This is a much stronger race but he can win again.

STONEYFORD LADY was a convincing winner over fences at Thurles last month and a 7lb higher mark looks well within her compass on just her third start in this discipline. Happy Dreams and Doyen Magic have been in good form over hurdles lately and both revert to the larger obstacles with solid claims in a race heavy on numbers but lacking in those with convincing recent chasing form. Dream In The Park won this off 5lb lower last year and cannot be ruled out from having another big say.

Four-time chase winner HAPPY DREAMS (nap) returns to this sphere following two quality hurdle runs and can bag another win

2	1 2nd (1) (7/1 -75%) Avalon Beach	7 7/1(-75%)	(1) Avalon Beach 7/1, Ground was probably too testing when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time.

The one that appeals most is HOURLESS, who showed more when fourth in a warmer event over C&D earlier in the month and was subsequently eased 2lb. This drop in grade might be just what is needed for the five-year-old to regain the winning thread. Toby Two Scoops finished a fair second at this level at Sedgefield and only has a 2lb higher rating to contend with, while Animato is another to keep an eye on.

This could go to MOJO EGO who takes a drop in grade and whose last race has thrown up winners. Avalon Beach may give him most to do.

No Walkover and Grazeon Sunshine both arrive here on the back of bumper victories and they have to be respected as a result. That said, a chance can be taken with MOMENTS IN TIME, who makes his debut for Dan Skelton having bolted up in an Irish point-to-point earlier in the year. That form suggests that the four-year-old could be well above average and he merits plenty of respect.

The vote goes to NO WALKOVER to defy his penalty even though he surely needs to perform better than when he scraped home at Chepstow.

DOUBLE THE DANCE should have learned plenty from finishing second on his Rules bow at Ascot and holds leading claims. The four-year-old boasts a 3m win between the flags and this extended 2m1f could eke out some improvement. Half Hoping did little wrong when narrowly denied on his bumper debut at Chepstow and another good account is forecast, while market support for newcomer Style De Folie would be interesting.

The form of his second at Ascot has taken some knocks but it was still a fine run from DOUBLE THE DANCE who could settle better here.

HELDAM may be able to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The Doctor Dino gelding won a point-to-point back in February and the form of that race got a boost recently with the runner-up Lord Rouge winning a maiden hurdle at Cork. Premier Division was well fancied on his debut at Fairyhouse, but could only finish third to stablemate Keep Him Company. That looked like a solid bumper and he could progress a bit for the run. Minella Machine cost 350,000 euro after winning his point-to-point and is another who has to be considered.

The form of the maiden point won by HELDAM has been boosted by the second in winning over hurdles; he may beat Minella Machine

Despite Jack Andrews dropping his reins at a vital stage, SECRET VINO still managed to score by over a length at Southwell last month and is now 7lb higher. The step back up in trip could bring out the improvement required to go in again. Nowmelad occupied the runner-up berth at this level at Uttoxeter earlier this month and has to be respected, despite a 2lb higher mark. Smart Decision has only been defeated twice in six starts and is considered on handicap debut.

The choice is SECRET VINO who suggested that returning to further would suit when he got off the mark over 2m at Southwell last month.

Stays 11f and gives the impression she will stay further. Acts on all-weather. A big, strong filly and likely improver. Impressed on AW debut last month; up 7lb but should have more to come over 1m4f.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 +8%) King's Code	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) King's Code 11/2, Every chance and ran to form when third, beaten 1 1/2l off 98 last time. Effective from 10f to 12f and acts on soft, good and all-weather surfaces. In very good form, though the handicapper may now have his measure. Won at this fixture (9.5f) in 2023 and 2024; arrives in fine form but the trip is a query.
6th	5 6th (5) (40/1 -186%) Knightswood	40 40/1(-186%)	(5) Knightswood 40/1, Well backed and improved again when landing a Pontefract handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark last time. Effective from 12f to 14f and acts on all-weather. Progressive when last seen and a typically honest type for the yard. Can go well fresh but looks high in the weights on this rare AW run.

AEOLIAN was apprentice ridden when she got off the mark on her all-weather debut at Kempton last month. However, the daughter of Fastnet Rock could be progressive enough to cope with a 7lb higher mark if she handles switching to Tapeta, with Cieren Fallon taking over in the saddle. The in-form King's Code is proven on the surface and can make this a good test for the William Haggas-trained filly along with Brasil Power, despite going up 4lb for last week's win at Lingfield.

Last year's winner Paradias can go well after a break but the unexposed AEOLIAN can make it 2-2 on AW.

Effective at 2m on good and good to soft. Progressive but current mark asks for a bit more. Hat-trick bid failed but he made good late headway; this much longer trip is interesting.
2	10 2nd (10) (12/1 +52%) King Of The Road	12 12/1(+52%)	(10) King Of The Road 12/1, Made too much use of when stepped up in trip and failed to stay, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time. Cheekpieces fitted for the first time. Effective at 2-2 1/2m on good and good to soft but stamina remains a concern. Good second in this last year off 2lb higher; respectable at best since; cheekpieces go on.
3	8 3rd (8) (15/2 -50%) Kap Boy	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(8) Kap Boy 15/2, Scored by 7l off an 11lb lower mark at Perth on his penultimate start and ran to form when third, beaten 5l off 118 last time after conceding first run. Effective at 2-2 1/2m and suited by cut. Still progressing though latest form has slight knocks. All starts on softer than good; serious each-way contender if the ground is okay for him.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f and suited by a sound surface. Inconsistent type. Had a poor year until his good 2nd of six at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago.
5th	3 5th (3) (17/2 -6%) George's Lad	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(3) George's Lad 17/2, Had every chance and ran to form when second, beaten 5 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time. Trainer in good form. Effective at 2 1/2m and handles good to soft. Consistent performer should remain competitive. Has been very reliable but his progress may have stalled; now tries a slightly longer trip.

Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good to soft. Still looks fairly treated and may have more to offer. 2m5f win last time made it 3-5 over hurdles (all on softer than good); progressing well.
7th	9 7th (9) (18/1 -125%) Jus De Citron	18 18/1(-125%)	(9) Jus De Citron 18/1, Below form but stayed the longer trip when third, beaten 19l, in a novice hurdle here last time after a long layoff. Effective at 2 1/2m and handles good to soft. Latest form has been franked though opening mark looks demanding. Unclear whether he'll be spot on for comeback, but highly unexposed and should do better.
8th	2 8th (2) (28/1 +15%) Emailandy	28 28/1(+15%)	(2) Emailandy 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Newbury last time. Blinkers applied for the first time after a short break. Effective at 2 1/2m but currently out of form. Achieved little in last five races; blinkers instead of cheekpieces needs to work wonders.
9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -300%) Paso Doble	28 28/1(-300%)	(7) Paso Doble 28/1, Won by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Fontwell three starts ago and ran to form when second, beaten 4l, off 122 last time. Effective between 2m and 2m7f, acts on good and good to soft. Handicapper has him about right; drop in trip should suit. Solid record here; 3-10 over hurdles but he needs to find extra in this warmer race.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (11/4 +31%) Onewaywest	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(5) Onewaywest 11/4, Quickened clear to win a handicap by 5 1/2l off an 11lb lower mark at Wetherby last time. Effective around 2 1/2m and handles soft and good to soft. Progressive and still appears ahead of his mark. Totally dominant from the front on soft under E England in both starts this term; up 11lb.

It will be interesting to see how North Lodge fares on his first appearance since December 2023 and Alan King's gelding has been given a decent chance by the handicapper if fully firing. However, it is his stable companion BELIEVITANDUCAN who is preferred. The four-year-old benefited from stepping up in trip at Plumpton and a 4lb rise appears more than fair. Onewaywest is progressive and could have more to offer on his hat-trick bid, while Kap Boy and Jus De Citron are others to consider.

Drying ground conditions might suit HAMSIYANN, so he gets the vote ahead of Onewaywest, Believitanducan and Kap Boy.

Effective between 2m and 2m4f, acts on heavy and good ground; holds a good chance. Kept on well for clear second at Leicester this month; this less testing ground will suit.

HAAS BOY failed to land his hat-trick when second after pulling too hard at Huntingdon but, if he settles, he clearly has the ability to get back to winning ways off just 1lb higher. Aggagio ran his best race for a while when runner-up at Leicester and seems to get on well with Ben Pollard. Thankyouandplease and Zainy Champ have to enter the equation too.

Rejuvenated by Chester Williams this season, HAAS BOY drops in grade after a very creditable second at Huntingdon 19 days ago.

STORM QUEEN impressed when making all to win her point-to-point at Dromahane in April by over five lengths and may take plenty of catching on her debut under Rules. Think It Through also won her sole point-to-point before disappointing at Naas in a bumper but she could do better with that run under her belt, while Torpille Dagrostis is another capable of being in the mix.

WALKING SAINT wasn't beaten far in a strong Navan maiden hurdle on debut and this is less competitive.

Conor Orr has shown composure in the saddle by delivering MARIS ANGEL to win her last four starts by narrow margins and the inevitable step up in class might not be enough to prevent the winning sequence from being extended. Court Drive (second) was less then a length behind the selection over C&D earlier this month and is a big danger armed with a 3lb pull. Lady Wingalong wasn't far away in third in that race and is another key player with Billy Loughnane booked to ride.

Maris Angel and Powdering are greatly respected but BELLA BISBEE has been reinvigorated by a stable switch and can win again.

Parlando landed a gamble at Chelmsford recently and given that he remains well treated under a penalty, is entitled to plenty of respect. However, the vote goes to ZRYAN. David O'Meara's gelding was a comfortable winner over C&D latest and is completely unexposed at the trip, so a 3lb rise could be lenient. Unassuming was far from disgraced in a London Mile Series Qualifier at Kempton recently and is another that must enter calculations.

Zryan gained his first win for this yard 13 days ago but PARLANDO looks nicely treated under a penalty for his Chelmsford success.

4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -82%) Bondi Man	40 40/1(-82%)	(7) Bondi Man 40/1, Disappointed again when comfortably held in a handicap at Nottingham last time; off a short break; suited by 10f; probably not suited by soft or heavy; unreliable maiden. 0-18; second at Nottingham in July but well beaten there last time; back on the AW.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 +0%) Petra Grey	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Petra Grey 33/1, Didn't stay and finished down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently; off a short break; bred to be effective around 8-10f; yet to show any reliable form. Failed to beat a rival home on her handicap debut (1m6f); wind surgery ahead of yard debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -135%) Fifty Sent	20 20/1(-135%)	(4) Fifty Sent 20/1, Didn't quite stay over C&D when 5 1/4l third in a handicap on most recent run; effective 7-8f, yet to prove stamina over further; mark is competitive if staying. Won a classified event at Ffos Las in August; respectable run over this C&D 32 days ago.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/2 -67%) Hackney Diamonds	2.5 5/2(-67%)	(1) Hackney Diamonds 5/2, Back to form when landing a handicap by a nose off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 7-12f; mark is stiff now but has been in very good form and may find a little more in a weak race. Just held on from fast-finishing favourite at Southwell; highly respected under penalty.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 -45%) Port Noir	16 16/1(-45%)	(8) Port Noir 16/1, Ran to current poor level when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time; effective 8-10f; has lost form and has plenty to prove. Six-time course winner; struggled in recent starts but she was caught wide last time.
9th	9 9th (9) (6/1 +33%) Keep Talking	6 6/1(+33%)	(9) Keep Talking 6/1, Would probably have been closer but for traffic when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; effective 7-10f; falling in the weights and looks dangerous. Unplaced in all ten starts but her best efforts have been at this track; each-way claims.

SILKIES SIB made a low-key stable debut at Southwell but offered some encouragement at Lingfield next time. James Owen's charge is thrown in based on what he achieved in Ireland and, although not the most reliable, the Newmarket-handler has shown an aptitude with similar types in the past. Southwell scorer Hackney Diamonds must shoulder a 6lb penalty but is respected nonetheless, as is Fifty Sent, who finished a creditable third over C&D last time.

She's 2lb wrong under a penalty but HACKNEY DIAMONDS is selected to follow up her Southwell win. Keep Talking is second choice.

Shaped well over 7f at Kempton on his stable; should be suited by the return to this trip.
1	1 1st (1) (13/2 -8%) Law Supreme	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(1) Law Supreme 13/2, Ran to form in new headgear when fourth, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; effective at 8f and acts on all-weather; showing more like it lately. 2-33; ran with credit when fourth in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton; each-way claims.
3	7 3rd (7) (25/1 -56%) Trusty Scout	25 25/1(-56%)	(7) Trusty Scout 25/1, Disappointing again, beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective from 8f to 12f and best on all-weather; has lost form of late. Course winner over 1m4f in 2023; below his best in three starts since a break.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 -13%) Warrnambool	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(2) Warrnambool 9/2, Got no run and finished quite well but without much enthusiasm beaten 2l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7-10f, probably wants sound surface; capable and very well handicapped if decides to put it in but irresolute. 0-16 but he's been shaping quite well for this yard; unlucky not to go closer last time.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 -11%) Rampant	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Rampant 10/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off this mark at Southwell last time; trainer in form; suited by 10-12f, acts on GF and AW; in solid form but mark reflects that. 0-27 but he went close here last month and his last two efforts have been solid.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 +0%) Sold Out	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Sold Out 40/1, Poor effort again, beaten 6l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; overall form remains very modest. 0-7; yet to built on his handicap debut effort; up in trip with cheekpieces removed.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 +0%) Spinning Dancer	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Spinning Dancer 14/1, Ran about to form, made plenty of use of, beaten 3l off this mark here last time; effective from 1m to 10f and acts on all-weather; in fair form with a minor chance. 0-16 but fourth on her last three outings, including over C&D latest; e-w chance.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/2 +59%) Desiderata	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(5) Desiderata 9/2, Bit below form when down in trip, beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; effective up to 10f and acts on all-weather; slightly out of sorts recently. Sole win came in a C&D classified event; may have needed the run when seventh here latest.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -300%) Seconds Count	22 22/1(-300%)	(3) Seconds Count 22/1, Ran to form despite a slow start, beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; off a short break; effective at 8/9f and acts on all-weather; could have more to offer for new yard. 0-6 for William Haggas but ran well when last seen; steps up in trip on her stable debut.

LTO Selection:

The could be a fine opportunity for GALAXY WONDER, who shaped with real promise over 7f on his stable debut. Tony Carroll's new recruit looks certain to relish a step up in trip on that evidence and could be too strong for the class-dropping Law Supreme. Rampant has been running well in defeat of late and is expected to make his presence felt again.

Warrnambool has been shaping quite well but GALAXY WONDER ran well on his stable debut and will appreciate going back up in trip.

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.
