A comfortable winner over C&D on his return to hurdles earlier in the month, JAYTEE should have plenty more improvement forthcoming and a 5lb rise could underestimate him. The eight-year-old remains 2lb below his chase mark and, with conditions in his favour, he can get the better of Butler's Brief, who has strong claims on his penultimate success at Kelso. Fabuleux Du Clos may improve for the application of cheekpieces.

JAYTEE capitalised on a lower hurdles mark over C&D 2 weeks ago and gets the nod to follow up in another decidedly weak affair. Butler's Brief is preferred to Fabuleux du Clos for the forecast.

Recent C&D winner JAYTEE remains well treated on this year's best chase form and can follow up. Butler's Brief is feared most.

PAIDI'S PASSION may be able to pick up the winning thread again here. Two miles looked on the short side for the Ocovango mare at Down Royal last month and she should be better suited by this kind of trip. She had rattled off a hat-trick previously, including an impressive win over fences at Ballinrobe, and seems versatile ground-wise having won on good and heavy going. Sweet Will ran well on his first outing for Emmet Mullins at Fairyhouse last month when losing out by half a length to So Des Flos. He's a danger if repeating that effort. Lake Chad is a consistent, if slightly frustrating, sort and could be place material.

Several in with chances but it could pay to side with SWEET WILL, who bounced back to form on first outing for Emmet Mullins when finishing runner-up at Fairyhouse last month and a repeat could well be enough to go a place better. The Gavin Cromwell-trained pair Broken Ice and Steppenwolf are put forward as the main dangers, with the consistent Lake Chad another worthy of a mention.

Now that SWEET WILL has shown signs of a return to form he has good prospects of exploiting a mark 10lb below his hurdles mark

Former point-to-point winners Great Pepper and Johnny Dogs both hold similar profiles in that each won well on their debuts under Rules and enter calculations in this ordinary looking novices' hurdle. However, their mandatory 7lb penalties may hand a big advantage to TO CHASE A DREAM, who ran a blinder when second to a 127-rated rival at Wetherby last month. Stoutly-bred on the dam's side, stepping up in trip ought to suit the selection, whose chance is is further boosted by his four-year-old's weight-for-age allowance.

GREAT PEPPER impressed with his attitude when making a successful hurdling debut at Hexham 7 weeks ago and is selected to defy a penalty having been given ample time to get over such an exacting race. To Chase A Dream has shaped well on both his starts over hurdles and is an obvious threat.

The 4yo TO CHASE A DREAM ran into a smart chaser in his second novices' hurdle and he faces nothing of the same calibre here.

In hindsight, R'EVELYN PLEASURE faced a stiff task in last year's renewal won by Sir Bob who has gone on to show useful form off much higher marks. Sean O'Brien's charge was held in second when coming down at the last but he's a lot lower in the ratings now and had a pipe-opener for this when fourth at Thurles just a week before Christmas. The Dabbler ran well when fourth in the Galway Blazers in August and had a nice run over hurdles on that same pre-Christmas card at Thurles. Fiveaftermidnight isn't the most consistent but is capable of a good run at her best and is from a yard that continues in fine form. Ex Patriot is plummeting in the ratings but has obviously had issues and isn't easy to fancy on recent efforts.

SPACE CADET was third in the Ulster National off 6 lb higher on last season's reappearance and might be worth siding with to see off R'Evelyn Pleasure, who looked booked for second when coming down at the last in this 12 months ago and arrives on the back of a decent run at Thurles.

R'EVELYN PLEASURE went into the notebook when fourth over an inadequate trip at Thurles and should take stopping now upped in yardage

THERAPIST was slightly disappointing when sent off favourite for her hurdling debut at Newbury recently but that experience won't have been lost on her. The daughter of Le Havre can gain compensation for her in-form connections, with Love True looking best placed to chase her home having shown up well on the level in France this year. Brora Breeze is another Flat recruit to note on her first start for the Rebecca Menzies stable.

It might be worth siding with THERAPIST to step up on her opening hurdle effort at Newbury. Ezmerellda wasn't disgraced in a listed race there on her hurdle debut and is second choice. Love True and Brora Breeze are likely types among the hurdle newcomers.

The Alan King-trained EZMERELLDA was an encouraging fifth in a Listed race at Newbury on her hurdle debut and earns the vote.

BALLYBURN looks hard to oppose on his second start over timber. The Flemensfirth gelding looked very smart when winning two bumpers last season. He had to settle for second on his jumping debut at Fairyhouse earlier in the month but chased home a well regarded sort in Firefox then and with natural improvement should collect now. Apple's Of Bresil is a nice sort and could be the one to give the selection most to do. He was behind Ballyburn in a bumper at Punchestown in April and stepped forward nicely when third in a tight finish to Springt De La Mare at Navan on his return. Saddle Her Up ran a big race, at a big price, when second at Galway in late October and can pick up prize-money again.

It's hard to look beyond BALLYBURN, who achieved a smart level of form in bumpers last season and pulled clear of the rest when chasing home a highly promising novice in Firefox on his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse. With Cleatus Poolaw due to run at Limerick on Thursday, Coming Up Easy, who represents a yard that has made a habit of winning this race in recent years, and Saddle Her Up are taken to fill the places.

With no Firefox to worry about this looks a golden opportunity for BALLYBURN to go one better than at Fairyhouse.

SCHALKE has faced much stiffer tests that the one he is tasked with here and, while he needs to significantly better his most recent start, the fitting of a first-time visor might well initiate a revival. It's worth remembering the selection was a convincing winner of this race last year and, although 6lb higher, this is a much weaker renewal, with William Maggs' 7lb a further boost at the weights. Hashtag Boum is also a previous C&D winner and enters calculations, while Kingston Bridge is still of low mileage and is another to bear in mind.

This looks competitive. DUNNET HEAD can't have been right last time and might be worth another chance as his Carlisle win prior to that was promising. Hashtag Boum shaped encouragingly at Sedgefield last time and is much respected back at the scene of her win in April. Imaginary Dragon should also get involved if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip, while Kingston Bridge also shaped well at Hexham last time.

Perhaps IMAGINARY DRAGON will provide the answer if seeing out this longer trip on just his second run for Sandy Thomson.

EVIES VLADIMIR fairly rattled home for second over 2m4f at Down Royal on Tuesday having had a lot to do early in the straight. It has to be significant that Gavin Cromwell turns him out again so soon and this longer trip should suit the six-year-old who returned from a long absence to win on handicap debut at Clonmel last month. Rolly Bowley Boy was also in action on Tuesday when placed over a shorter distance at this venue. He's another that will be suited by a greater emphasis on stamina but giving over a stone to the selection may be beyond him. Baldur's Gate comes back in trip after a decisive win over 3m at Punchestown and has to enter calculations, while Da Big Fella pulled a shoe when disappointing behind Baldur's Gate but his Galway second the time before was franked when the winner followed up at Cheltenham.

EVIES VLADIMIR is progressing well over fences and weighted to resume winning ways on the back of his good Down Royal second. Punchestown scorer Baldur's Gate is feared most ahead of in-form duo Rolly Bowley Boy and Lady Kate.

Rolly Bowley Boy and Baldur's Gate look destined to play a big part but DA BIG FELLA has a handy weight and is preferred

ONEMOREFORTHEROAD made a favourable impression on his chase debut over C&D last time and a 7lb rise looks manageable for an eight-year-old that has run off much higher marks over hurdles in the past. Chanceux did it well at Hereford latest and he must be a key player, along with Ukantango, who improved significantly from first to second start over fences when runner-up at Wetherby last month.

ONEMOREFORTHEROAD got off to a flying start over fences when a C&D scorer earlier in the month and can make light of a 7 lb rise in the weights with more to come now. Richhill also has better days ahead of him in this sphere so should ensure Neil King's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Ukantango and Parisiencore need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

Things clicked again in a big way for ONEMOREFORTHEROAD (nap) on his chase debut over C&D and he can follow up that comfortable win.

RISK BELLE impressed on her return this season and looks to have improved from last season. She beat some decent geldings in good style at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and Willie Mullins stated then that the experience she gained in handicap company last season has really stood to her. Jetara comes here seeking a hat-trick after a couple of impressive wins and looks an obvious danger. The well-bred Walk In The Park mare was a comprehensive winner in Listed company last time and like the selection is fairly experienced at this stage. Hispanic Moon had plenty of runs in France before winning on her first start for Henry de Bromhead in a Listed contest at Punchestown last month. She's another that has to be on the shortlist.

Willie Mullins has saddled six of the last seven winners of this and RISK BELLE is taken to enhance that already impressive record. She looked an improved model when making a winning reappearance in a Grade 3 contest at Fairyhouse and probably has more to offer given her age and low mileage. The 4-y-o certainly won't have things all her own way, though, particularly if Telmesomethinggirl is anywhere near her best back hurdling. The latter's stablemate Magical Zoe also merits respect.

This looks open and it may be worth taking a chance on \MAGICAL ZOE\p, whose Down Royal second behind Irish Point is quite persuasive.

Despite running from 2lb out of the handicap, DUTY CALLS actually holds a live chance on form and, having run a 121-rated to a neck when second over this course and distance last month, he is dangerous to underestimate, especially when Lewis Stones' 3lb claim is factored into the equation. A dual winner on the hurdles circuit here, Traprain Law is unexposed over fences and is one to monitor closely in the betting, while Ganapathi is another to consider now he is tried with a first-time visor.

TRAPRAIN LAW thrived for Lucinda Russell last term and is fancied to build on a promising chasing debut and bag victory number four for the yard off a handy-looking mark. C&D winner Duty Calls is feared most despite being 2 lb "wrong" in the weights, with Ganapathi appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Lucinda Russell's TRAPRAIN LAW (nap) liked it here over hurdles and it was a perfectly respectable start he made over fences at Ayr.

YOUR HONOR should be okay on the heavy ground and won his maiden here in the spring. He didn't get home over 2m4f when sixth at Navan last time and coming back in trip should help. The selection was third to Media Naranja at Ballinrobe in May but is considerably better off at the weights with that rival on this occasion. Media Naranja was a creditable fifth in a strong all-aged handicap at Fairyhouse last time and still merits plenty of respect for top connections. Paradise Lost and Whimsy are closely matched on the basis of a clash at Thurles last month and both enter handicap company for the first time. Ossie's Lodge is a bumper winner who looks to have been allotted a fair opening mark and how he goes in the market will be interesting.

A few with chances but LUMINOUS LIGHT is weighted to go close on the back of his good Fairyhouse novice third so gets the vote. Morning Soldier is another who can have a say on these terms, while both Whimsy and Ossie's Lodge can make their mark with improvement on the cards.

He'll handle the ground and coming back from 2m4f will suit, so a chance is taken with course winner YOUR HONOR; note Ossie's Lodge

Irish raider Limerick Lace is rated 5lb her superior at these weights and is an obvious danger after her Clonmel success and Graded second at Navan. Newbury winner Pink Legend and Fantastic Lady are others to take seriously.

ZAMBELLA was hugely impressive at Aintree on reappearance and the form has a strong look to it, so she can win this race for the third year running. She's marginally preferred to Irish raider Limerick Lace, who is going the right way. Fantastic Lady is another one to consider.

Preference is for the progressive Irish-trained 6yo LIMERICK LACE who was a fine second in the Troytown last month.

A real test of stamina should bring out the best in CORBETTS CROSS and he can strike at the top level here. The Gamut gelding had the class to win over the minimum trip as a novice hurdler but has always shaped like a real stayer. He improved from his initial outing over fences to run out a cosy winner at Fairyhouse earlier in the month and going up again in distance will help. Grangeclare West beat the selection at Naas on their seasonal debuts and is a classy sort when right. The ground here would be a slight concern though over this trip. Flooring Porter threw away his chance when jumping badly left at Punchestown last month. He's much more at home going this way around and is fancied to turn the tables on Favori De Champdou. The former top staying hurdler obviously commands plenty of respect.

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU produced a flawless round of jumping when landing the Florida Pearl in fine style at Punchestown last month, and he is taken to provide trainer Gordon Elliott with a sixth win in this Grade 1 contest. Corbetts Cross and Grangeclare West are both potentially smart novices, too, while former top staying hurdler Flooring Porter is also feared now back on a left-handed track after hanging badly left when third to the selection at Punchestown.

This test of stamina should suit CORBETTS CROSS (nap) who has garnered confidence and experience since his chasing debut at Naas.

The seven-year-old can land the hat-trick now at the main expense of Gentleman De Mai, who has been consistent since beginning his career over fences and deservedly got off the mark here on his latest outing. Chase debutant Imperial Merlin is another to note having won three of his six starts over the smaller obstacles.

YOUNG BUSTER had loads to spare when scoring here on return and a rise might not be enough to stop him. Imperial Merlin looks an interesting chasing debutant and is feared most ahead of Gentleman de Mai, who also struck here last month.

Top of the list is GENTLEMAN DE MAI, who was one of two to pull well clear of the others when winning here on his seasonal debut.

Runner-up in a 2m4f maiden at Cork last year, the six-year-old has run two creditable races on winter ground this term including when third on the inner track here last month. Eoin Griffin was amongst the winners at Leopardstown on Wednesday and Splashing Out goes well on heavy ground at Limerick, She was second in this race last year and won a mares handicap in good style on the inner track when last seen. She's A Fine Wine has a possible class edge after finishing third in a Grade 3 at Navan and her maiden win came over C&D in October. She just needs to settle better than she did at Navan to enable her to get home on heavy ground here.

SPLASHING OUT took a C&D handicap in great style last time out and looks the way to go back in maiden company. C&D winner She's A Fine Wine appeals as a big threat though, with Rockview Consort and Starman also in the picture.

An effective mark of 108 may afford a bit of leeway to ASK THE BOOKIE who has run been running well and will handle the ground

However, he carries a winner's penalty and may have to give way to BHALOO, who was third over hurdles at Kempton on his first start for Nicky Henderson and should relish being sent over further here after running on late over 2m there. Banteer may get the better of Dancing In Brazil in the race for third spot.

A few with potential but BHALOO looked a sure-fire future winner when third on his hurdling bow at Kempton so Nicky Henderson's 5-y-o gets the vote here. Alan King's Dancing In Brazil appeals as the one to chase him home now his stamina is drawn out more, although both Parade Away and Banteer warrant respect too.

Bumper winner BHALOO stayed on for third over 2m at Kempton on last month's hurdle debut and can come out on top now upped in trip.

Willie Mullins has a phenomenal roll of honour in this Grade 1 having landed nine of the last 11 renewals, and looks poised for another victory as he saddles three of the four runners. Last year's hero STATE MAN comes back for more and is hard to go past. He looked as good as ever on his seasonal reappearance in the Grade 1 Morgiana at Punchestown as he put his head down and readily galloped home. He has won six Grade 1 contests and the only horse to beat him at the top level is the mighty Constitution Hill. State Man's stablemate, Impaire Et Passe, is an interesting contender dropping in trip. He has two Grade 1 victories in his locker and wasn't beaten far into second over further in the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse on his latest start. Echoes In Rain is a more than capable sort who is likely to be played late. She has five lengths to find with State Man who beat her into second in the Morgiana, though.

STATE MAN may not have been able to live with Constitution Hill in last season's Champion Hurdle but he's clear best of the rest in the 2m division and can land this for the second year running. Impaire Et Passe could be suited by the return to 2m and can give his stablemate most to do.

Last year's winner STATE MAN is likely to get a more serious test than on his reappearance but should cope with Impaire Et Passe.

IP UP looked in need of a step up in trip when running on well for third over shorter at Musselburgh last month. She gets that opportunity on this occasion and, with the form of that race working out well in the interim, Jedd O'Keeffe's mare may have too much for Nell's Bells, who takes a significant drop in trip, having won over much further at Newcastle in April. Similar Story and Line In The Sand are capable of being in the mix.

Given the promise she has shown in three qualifying runs, SIMILAR STORY is of strong interest now switched to handicap company off a realistic opening mark. The former point winner will also be aided by moving back up in trip (likely to stay further than this in due course). The form of Ip Up's solid effort in defeat last time has been boosted and she is feared most ahead of Line In The Sand.

Paul Nolan landed a maiden hurdle on the first day of Limerick's Christmas meeting and ICEBERG THEORY may be another winner for the Enniscorthy trainer. The Flemensfirth gelding has two solid maiden runs in the book and handled testing ground well when runner-up over a similar trip at Wexford. Eric McNamara has had a couple of horses run really well this week and Thegraveyardbookie is interesting on hurdling debut. He has shown ability in bumpers and finished ahead of the selection's Wexford conqueror in a Galway contest that has produced hurdle winners. Magic Sadler is a point-to-point winner on heavy ground who has run creditably on his first two starts over hurdles. He'll handle conditions and may not be far away.

ICEBERG THEORY ran well when runner-up at Wexford last time and, in this slightly lesser race, a performance of similar merit would be enough for him to go in again. On Lovers Walk is a big threat if he can put a poor run behind him and Thegraveyardbookie could feature on hurdling bow.

TWINJETS took a decent step forward from his chasing bow at Ascot when making his first appearance for Paul Nicholls over C&D a fortnight ago. The handicapper has taken no chances, with the six-year-old being raised 9lb, but it wouldn't be a big surprise if he backed that performance up in a contest where all of his rivals have something to prove. A Wave Of The Sea should benefit from a sounder surface on this occasion, while Dreaming Blue completes the shortlist based on his third at Ludlow.

TWINJETS created an excellent impression when making a successful debut for Paul Nicholls here and, with more to come, he's fancied to follow up. Dreaming Blue is one to consider having bounced back last time and Lord Accord is becoming too well handicapped to ignore.

With further progress on the cards, TWINJETS gets the verdict. Dreaming Blue is next best on last-time-out form.

He won his maiden hurdle in Sligo before filling the runner-up berth behind a more than useful horse in Listowel. His victory in a Galway novice hurdle was well franked when the runner-up came out and won a good handicap in Clonmel. Waterford Whispers competes off a mark of 123 after victories in a Galway maiden hurdle and a rated novice hurdle in Fairyhouse. Trip and ground will be ideal for him. Yeats Star is another hat-trick seeker and tries this trip for the first time. He notably stretched clear by 13 lengths over an extended 2m1f at Downpatrick in October. Mount Sinai and Petit King are others to consider.

There should be more to come from WATERFORD WHISPERS, who was strong at the finish when landing a Fairyhouse novice upped to this trip at the beginning of the month and his opening mark looks fair. Must Go Now left his maiden form well behind when third of 15 on handicap debut at Thurles and he is next on the list ahead of the hat-trick seeking Yeats Star. Petit King is also worthy of consideration.

MARCIANO has shown enough in three starts to merit each-way support in a race where compelling form is thin on the ground. His opening fifth on heavy ground at Clonmel has been well franked and on his next start in Ballinrobe he ran out when leading. His subsequent fourth in Killarney wasn't a bad effort. His trainer, Edward O'Grady, saddled a winner for owner JP McManus at Leopardstown on Tuesday. Day's A Dawning has been unplaced in three bumpers, but represents Gordon Elliott's powerful stable and could improve on hurdling debut. Jeronimo De L'ouch put in an improved display in fourth at Naas and could build upon that while Caughtinaspell's fourth place in Clonmel gives her a chance.

BALALLY PARK improved when fourth in a stronger contest at Wexford and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account if he's in the same form. Caughtinaspell and Marciano look the main dangers although Ashdale Flyer would merit strong consideration if she got in (currently first reserve).

He wasn't mapped in a better maiden last time but his previous fourth on the inner track here gives MIDWEEK VOICES a decent chance

He made 420,000 guineas at the Sales after a decisive point-to-point victory and connections would have been very heartened by the way he stayed on strongly to win by five lengths in Fairyhouse. He looks to have a bright future. Willie Mullins fields three horses with his son Patrick opting for Redemption Day. This Blue Bresil gelding has plenty of ability and ran a high-class horse to a length and a quarter when last seen finishing second in the Grade 1 bumper at the Punchestown Festival. He is a major threat. Luckinthecity put in decent late work to score in Listowel and the runner-up, Big Dee, came out and delivered in Down Royal so they both merit consideration.

REDEMPTION DAY hasn't been seen for 20 months but his top yard should have him ready and his second to Facile Vega in the Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown is the standout piece of form, so he gets the nod. Jalon d'Oudairies is unbeaten in 2 (including a point) and looks the main danger ahead of Luckinthecity.

Redemption Day's form claims are crystal clear but on this demanding ground preference is for the well-regarded JALON D'OUDAIRIES.

GIPSY LEE ROSE needed every yard of the trip to score over C&D on her latest start and the use of Paddy Hanlon's 7lb claim gives her every chance of backing up that success. Onestepatatime was a beaten favourite on her most recent outing at Sedgefield but is capable of leaving that effort behind her. Camp Belan and Don Brocco head the remainder.

A trappy-looking contest, with all six holding a chance. JUST DON'T KNOW's form figures here read 212 prior to a low-key reappearance effort last month and, with that run under his belt and this step back up in trip a plus, he could be the answer. Camp Belan has a good chance of reversing last-time-out C&D placings with Gipsy Lee Rose on these revised terms and is second choice ahead of Onestepatatime.

Thorough stayer JUST DON'T KNOW gets the nod in the hope that last month's reappearance run did him good.

JOHNGUS would have to be taken very seriously if turning out again under a penalty. He reappeared from an absence of more than eight months to win a handicap hurdle over 2m at this venue on Wednesday. That was a race it where it paid to be handy as very few got into it, and he was able to stride home by four and a half lengths. He has won two of his last three races which is decent form in the context of this race. Natural Breeze gets first-time blinkers on the back of a string of consistent efforts where he has been picking up prize money. Caragh Monaghan is getting a tune out of St Denis's Well with the duo winning in Navan and finishing fourth in Down Royal on Tuesday.

The suggestion is ST DENIS'S WELL, assuming this doesn't come too soon after Down Royal on Tuesday. Young Fitzy arrives on the back of a couple of decent runs and also makes the shortlist along with Wednesday's Limerick-winner Johngus and Philip Rothwell pair Legacy of Dreams and Natural Breeze.

THE FLYING DONKEY was the outsider on handicap debut at Tramore but he fired a real sign of intent in fourth, and is given the nod

Equiami looks interesting sitting low in the weights as the three-year-old arrives after a win last time out over course and distance - his second from two starts for a 100% strike rate. That said, he is worse off at the weights with REVOQUABLE, who was a half-length behind him earlier in the month, and has perhaps the better of the draw here as well. Mr Strutter also makes the shortlist after an easy win at Catterick, but his all-weather strike rate isn't as good as it is on the turf.

Refitted with a tongue strap, REVOQUABLE bounced back to form when runner-up at this C&D last time, faring best of those ridden close up, so he can build on that to gain a third win of the year. He is taken to reverse the form with Equiami from when the pair met here 22 days ago, with Al Suil Eile completing the shortlist.

The answer might be CAPTAIN CORELLI, who didn't run badly over 7f last month and now returns to his optimum trip on a workable mark.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

CAMACHO STAR seemed to show the benefits of a wind operation when winning here over seven furlongs earlier in the month, despite failing to get a clear run, and as he can be expected to improve for that run, an added 4lb may not stop him doubling up. Trainer Mick Appleby won this last year and he has Big Narstie in here and as the five-year-old has won off 15lb higher he cannot be ignored for the places, leaving the consistent Martin's Brig to chase them home.

CAMACHO STAR underwent a breathing operation prior to winning here a fortnight ago and Kevin Ryan's 3-y-o looks capable of following up. Rose Light has edged down the weights without having lost her form and can get involved, with Maurices Men also considered after a more encouraging handicap debut last time.

The shortlist comprises the 3yos CAMACHO STAR, David's Diva and Maurices Men in that order of preference.

On The Cards seems sure to prove popular after his head second over this trip at Lingfield, but he does have to give 7lb to the filly, CATRAKE FORCE, who will make sure he doesn't get his own way on the front end. Second on her debut, she tried to make all at Chelmsford before weakening late on over two furlongs further, but may last home back in distance. Gold Aura is another to consider.

GOLD AURA was disappointing on first outing for this yard at Chelmsford earlier this month but she may have just needed the run so Jack Jones' filly is fancied to belatedly open her account at the expense of Leap Day, who bounced back to best making a belated handicap debut at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and would be a major threat with a repeat effort. On The Cards and Rocklyn can fight out third spot.

Rocklyn looks a likely improver but GOLD AURA is given another chance on her second run for new connections.

Green Sigma (second) improved with cheekpieces applied in her last two starts and the daughter of Havana Gold could find another gear now she steps up in trip. However, POLLY THE ROCKET (third) is equally open to progression over this distance and, given she is 3lb better of with the rival based on their encounter at Wolverhampton, Craig Lidster's filly could offer some value in a tight race to call. Any support of the selection's stablemates Finn Ironside and Indication Court should also be taken seriously.

Plenty are in with a shout. LIKEASHADOW didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth to Jazzy Angel over C&D last time and can gain compensation off an unchanged mark. Harry Eustace's filly rates the main threat despite taking a 2 lb rise for that victory, with in-form pair Glistening Nights and Finn Ironside also in the picture.

Back down in trip/grade, GLISTENING NIGHTS gets the vote. Green Sigma is second choice.

Graphite (second) and Oneforthegutter (third) are hard to split based on their proximity to each other at Wolverhampton last month, while Educator starts out for Mick Appleby off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark and is dangerous to dismiss. However, GALACTIC JACK was quite highly tried on the Flat during his time with Andrew Balding and is of interest after a couple of spins over hurdles.

HEATHEN had lost his way for Ed Dunlop but got firmly back on track when easily seeing off his eight rivals on debut for David O'Meara here 17 days ago. On that evidence, he is likely to take both this 6 lb higher mark and the rise in class in his stride. Educator has also joined a stable adept at getting the best out of recruits from rival yards and he will be a big threat if taking to this surface (went close on polytrack on sole previous all-weather start). Zealandia is best of the rest.

Heathen won well on his stable debut but this looks tougher and he may have to give best to the progressive DIAMOND BAY.

HIYA MAITE (second) fared best of the bunch who clashed over this course and distance 17 days ago and is fancied to uphold that form with the reopposing Crimson Sand (third), Strong Johnson (sixth), Conquistador (eighth), Above (10th) and Zargun (12th). A high draw proved to be beneficial for the selection that day and from an even higher stalls position here, he can brush aside the 2lb rise. Captain's Bar is feared most carrying a 5lb penalty for his C&D success last week.

HIYA MAITE produced a good effort back on all-weather when runner-up at this C&D 17 days ago, headed only late on by an in-form rival, and he can go one better as he drops back down in grade. Heading the list of dangers is Rose King who resumed his progress when narrowly denied here last week, with Conquistador also considered.

This is a drop in grade for HIYA MAITE (nap) and Roy Bowring's speedy front-runner can take full advantage.

DARK SIDE THUNDER has been in decent form of late and a return to this track can only be a positive, having won three of his four previous starts over C&D. His most recent came in April off 5lb lower, and he is preferred to the likes of last-start C&D winner Snash and Wee Fat Mac, who arrives on a hat-trick. Others to note include Jeans Maite, Razzam and Tyke.

A strong-looking heat for the grade, with WEE FAT MAC fancied to maintain his rich vein of form from a mark 4 lb higher than when scoring under a penalty at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Water of Leith took advantage of a reduced mark when winning over 5f here last week and has to be respected under a penalty, with Tyke and Snash also shortlisted after good recent efforts here.

Magical Max and Dark Side Thunder are feared but WATER OF LEITH can defy a penalty for last week's 5f win here.

RUSHEEN BOY could not have done it any easier over C&D last week, on the back of a gelding operation, and he will prove extremely difficult to beat with a repeat performance. His form looks stronger than that of Smasher, who deserves a change of luck having placed on four of his last five outings. Chelmsford scorer Amroon and Cloud Cuckoo cannot be ruled out either.

RUSHEEN BOY had plenty to spare over C&D last time and looks well-in under a penalty taking on his elders for the first time, so he's an obvious choice. Smasher should be thereabouts once more and Amroon can't be dismissed.

Judged on his C&D performance last week, RUSHEEN BOY holds the best chance. Fellow 2yo Amroon is second choice.

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.
