The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Summer Night City warrants respect having made a winning debut at Hereford in October, but a 7lb penalty will require more of Ben Brookhouse's gelding and, with that in mind, ROCHEVAL looks the one to be with. The son of Kapgarde impressed when winning on his debut in an Aintree bumper last month and he could take all the beating if taking to hurdling. Newcomer Copernic Du Mazet is one to note in the market for a yard who have done well with their runners here so far (4-8).

It was highly encouraging that ROCHEVAL was able to make a winning start in style in a 17f course bumper last month considering he's bred to need time and distance, so he's a straightforward choice to follow up on this switch to hurdling. I Wish You is fancied to chase home his stablemate once again.

The Lucinda Russell-trained ROCHEVAL created a good impression when winning on his debut in a bumper at Aintree and he can make it 2-2.

As David Pipe's only entrant on today's card, Phantomofthepoints is a noteworthy long-distance traveller for his debut over hurdles, while Sattam is an intriguing option starting out for Dianne Sayer after switching from Dermot Weld's yard in Ireland. However, Joshua Des Flos (third) and HOMBRE DE GUERRA (second) hold a valuable edge in terms of previous course and distance experience, with the latter fancied to uphold the form of last month's encounter on the same terms. Florida Dreams adds further spice to the contest.

Useful dual bumper winner FLORIDA DREAMS was seen to nothing like best effect (unsuited by test of speed) when third on his C&D hurdling debut last month and is well worth another chance. Old rivals Hombre de Guerra and Joshua des Flos head up the dangers, along with David Pipe's Phantomofthepoints.

Smart bumper horse Florida Dreams has good claims but the vote goes to HOMBRE DE GUERRA, who was a good C&D second last month.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MY LOUISE impressed when getting up late on to score on her debut at Fontwell last month and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop this talented mare from following up. Gallant Approach was pitched in at the deep end on his debut at Cheltenham in January and better can be expected here, while Head Over Hinds is another open to improvement. Jasper Boy and Juri look to be the pick of the newcomers.

Olly Murphy does very well in bumpers so JURI gets the nod to make a winning debut, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Land of Moon and Jasper Boy, who represents last year's winning yard, are other newcomers who make paper appeal, while Hughie Morrison's Gallant Approach has been given time since finishing well held in a Cheltenham listed bumper on his debut on New Year's Day and it wouldn't be a shock were he to prove a different proposition now.

It might be worth sticking with MY LOUISE, who finished well when justifying support on her Fontwell debut in September.

ESPRIT DU POTIER may have been slightly disappointing when going down as a short-priced favourite on his hurdles bow at Kelso, but Lucinda Russell's charge is entitle to come on for that experience and he can gain compensation on this occasion. Doyen Du Bar shaped with plenty of promise on his own debut over obstacles at the same track and he must enter calculations, along with Irish raider Brucio, who placed in what looked a strong maiden hurdle at Down Royal last month.

ESPRIT DU POTIER quickly made up into a pretty useful bumper performer last season and he shaped well when finding just one too good on his reappearance at Kelso. The 4-y-o is open to improvement and will take plenty of stopping here. Doyen du Bar is second choice ahead of Brucio and hurdles-debutant President Scottie.

Two-time course bumper winner ESPRIT DU POTIER was runner-up on his hurdle debut at Kelso and is taken to go one better today.

This can go the way of JEUNE BELLE, who finished in the first four twice in Listed bumpers last season and could be a smart novice hurdler for the Lucy Wadham stable. The five-year-old should have conditions to have suit and she is narrowly preferred to Royal Athena, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for her victory at Fakenham last month. Bleue Verte and Madam Ryder are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Plenty of runners but it doesn't look a race with much depth to it and useful bumper performer JEUNE BELLE should take a bit of stopping if taking to her new discipline. Fellow bumper scorer Golden Millie is second choice ahead of James Owen's Fakenham winner Royal Athena.

Two promising bumper types in Golden Millie and JEUNE BELLE are both likely to make hurdlers and can dominate the finish.

READYSTEADYBEAU still appeared to be travelling within himself when unseating his rider at the ninth fence at Wetherby last month. Lucinda Russell's charge could have learnt from that and is taken to put that mishap behind him by landing a first success of the season in this contest. Ned Tanner only just came up short when second over an extended 2m5f at Kelso last month and he should appreciate this step back up in trip, with Marown likely to be in the mix too.

NED TANNER looked an unlucky loser at Kelso where he was slighly hampered and the 7-y-o is taken to gain compensation here. He may have most to fear from Eagle Terrace, who put in a good shift over hurdles at Down Royal last month and remains on a workable mark. Destiny Is All should also have a part to play, provided he's on-song.

Jumping can be an issue for READYSTEADYBEAU but this second-season chaser appeals as a type who has more to offer over staying trips.

This can go the way of FOXEY, who ran a race full of promise on his chase debut at Huntingdon in October when staying on for second. A winner over hurdles on his penultimate start at Newton Abbot, the eight-year-old should be suited by dropping back in distance and he gets the vote ahead of the returning Tommy Dillion and Millies Mite, who ran with credit at Fakenham last time out.

FOXEY made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Huntingdon and can build on it to go one better in a race where several arrive with question marks against them. Robins Field could emerge as the chief threat at these weights if shrugging off a lesser effort over C&D, with Millies Mite and Clondaw Robin appealing as the pick for minor honours.

Although FOXEY's latest effort hinted he may appreciate further, he might still prove good enough to win this dropping back in trip.

DUNNET HEAD could be a smart type for the Iain Jardine stable, having returned from wind surgery and a 272-day break to score off 4lb lower at Carlisle last month. The step up in trip on this occasion can bring about further improvement and he gets the vote ahead of recent Kelso runner-up Guernesey and Ballycoose, who wasn't disgraced at Navan last month. Aurora Thunder and Kelso winner Pavlik can have a say in proceedings as well.

DUNNET HEAD left the impression the best of him is still yet to come when making a winning return/handicap debut at Carlisle just over 5 weeks, so Iain Jardine's 5-y-o looks the way to go at the expense of Mack The Man, who makes his first start for a new yard returning from 9 months off having tumbled in the weights. Rafferty's Return and Grand Voyage are another couple worthy of a mention.

The unexposed 5yo DUNNET HEAD looks to have a bright future and can make it 2-2 in handicaps now upped in trip.

BIRDMAN BOB opened his account on his reappearance at Plumpton last month and the six-year-old won with enough in hand that day to suggest that he could overcome a 6lb rise in the ratings here. Clongowes looked set to shed his maiden tag in this sphere before falling at the last at Newton Abbot in May and the son of New Approach warrants respect on his stable debut. Chandlers Bay and Celtic Ned are also worth a second look.

Handicap-debutants CHANDLERS BAY and Celtic Ned are both appealing, with marginal preference for Alan King's charge who went close in a decent Plumpton maiden on his final start of last season and he is armed with potential. Celtic Ned was beaten only by a highly promising stablemate of Chandlers Bay over C&D 11 days ago and should pick up a race soon enough. Artistic Endeavour and Tintintin both contested a big-field Cheltenham handicap last month and they merit respect, along with Clongowes.

An open race with some interesting prospects, not least CHANDLERS BAY (nap) who is likely to fare better now switched to handicaps.

INOX ALLEN scored comfortably on his sole point-to-point outing and eclipsed that effort when he made all in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last month. A performance stacked full of promise, he is hard to ignore despite the 7lb penalty here. Irish raider Annaghbeg also caught the eye on his hurdles debut when third in a similar race at Down Royal, while Dangan Cloud is another of high interest on the back of two placed efforts over timber at Hexham.

The suggestion is expensive Irish point recruit CAHER ROES DEN, with confidence in his chance increased if the betting vibes are strong. Milcree was the easy winner of a British point bumper in the spring and is another interesting newcomer to the jumping ranks. Stuart Crawford's Down Royal third Annaghbeg looks best of those with hurdle experience.

The vote goes to CAHER ROES DEN, whose Irish point form worked out so well. Another winning pointer, Annaghbeg, is next best.

FAIRWAY FREDDY's stamina appeared stretched by the extended 2m7f trip when weakening into third at Huntingdon last month and compensation could await on this return to 2m4f. Moonlighter is entitled to build on his fifth-placed seasonal bow at Chepstow in October, with Kai Lenihan claiming a useful 8lb, and Kim Bailey's charge is one to consider on this drop into class 4 company. Mr Muldoon could also get involved if on a going day.

RAMORE WILL enjoyed a productive 2022/23 campaign, and with his reappearance effort sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Chris Gordon's 12-y-o can regain the winning thread with headgear reapplied at the expense of Fairway Freddy, who should relish this drop back to 2½m. Moonlighter and Desque de L'Isle can fight out third spot.

Moonlighter is primed for a good run but RAMORE WILL has a good course record and a convincing recent win record.

There was a lot to like about EUCHAN FALLS' first outing over fences when only beaten three lengths into fourth over a similar trip at Musselburgh last month, which suggests he will be a better chaser than hurdler and his previous course-winning form will stand him in good stead today. Eight-time course winner Ardera Cross is now 3lb below his last winning mark and a bold showing could be on the cards. The veteran would dangerous if gaining an easy lead, while chase debutant Aubis Walk could excel in this sphere and looks a big player.

EUCHAN FALLS appeals as one who should prove a better chaser than hurdler and he can step forward from his promising start over fences, whilst point-winner Aubis Walk rates an interesting newcomer to this sphere for Nicky Richards.

Following a sound run on his chase debut EUCHAN FALLS is taken to get off the mark on his second run over fences.

Joker De Mai won over fences during his time in France and was far from disgraced when fourth in a decent novice hurdle on his British/stable debut last month. With possibly more to offer, he rates as a big player here. However, KANSAS DU BERLAIS is also open to progression and, with the form of his fourth-placed finish last time being boosted by the winner going in again at Sandown on Saturday, the signs are positive for another big run. Colonial Empire and Rocco Royale complete the shortlist.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap and ROCCO ROYALE could be the answer. He progressed during his novice campaign, cosily seeing off a dual subsequent winner when last seen during the spring, and he can be expected to kick on again now venturing down the handicap route. Colonial Empire is next on the list on the back of a creditable effort at Musselburgh, while French-import Joker de Mai, the selection's stablemate Brook Bay and unexposed Hallwood are others to consider.

An interesting race in which ROCCO ROYALE gets the vote ahead of another handicap newcomer in Joker De Mai.

Serious Ego is bound to be popular, having won his last two starts quite comfortably at Hexham, but a further 7lb rise will make life more difficult. Preference is for DUYFKEN, who ran well on his return at Kelso and was a good winner off 4lb lower at Perth in April. Conditions look very much in his favour and he can master the likes of Celestial Fashion and Joker Du Chenet as well.

DUYFKEN made a most encouraging return when thrid at Kelso and with that form having been franked he looks the way to go off an unchanged mark. Hat-trick seeking Serious Ego rates the obvious threat despite being hiked up 7 lb in the weights, with handicap-debutant Follow Charlie also in the picture.

The progressive DUYFKEN (nap), third in a decent Kelso handicap on his reappearance, is taken to beat the in-form Serious Ego.

Just half a length separated FELTON BELLEVUE (second) and Heaven Smart (third) in a similar race (Shot Boii fourth) over this course and distance 11 days ago but the former finished the better of the two on that occasion and can uphold the form, despite being 1lb worse off at the weights. Airtothethrone also has the ability to figure and completes the shortlist.

ART DECCO has plenty of form on testing ground and he's fancied to build on last month's pleasing Chepstow return. Felton Bellevue, Shot Boii and Heaven Smart all made the frame over C&D 11 days ago and that trio should also be in the mix again.

This could revolve around Felton Bellevue and HEAVEN SMART who both finished close up in a big-field handicap over C&D 11 days ago.

ELUSIVE TIGER is less exposed than many of his rivals and, given the step up in trip could unlock further improvement, the Archie Watson-trained gelding looks worth siding with here. Native Melody has a similar profile and, having returned from a short break with a solid effort at Wolverhampton last month, she also commands respect. Steven Seagull and Charlie's Yard complete the shortlist.

Lots of these arrive with something to prove so this looks a good opportunity for Archie Watson's ELUSIVE TIGER to gain his first success having not enjoyed the rub of the green when third at Wolverhampton last time. Liberated Lad is weighted to have a big say if on his A-game while Native Melody is another who can go well if the blinkers have the desired effect once more.

Upped in distance with Serena Brotherton booked, TRANQUILLITY could well open her account. Elusive Tiger is second choice.

Tony Carroll has his string in good order and DANEHILL STAR can be the latest stable inmate to boost the coffers. On the back of a much-improved effort at Wolverhampton 19 days ago, the son of Ten Sovereigns seems ideally suited to this sort of stamina test and, off just a 3lb higher mark, this looks within his reach. The recently-gelded Bargain Basement is another with scope for improvement, while Rising Force also enters calculations.

A wide-open nursery in which preference is for RISING FORCE, who won at this track in September and looked unlucky not to double his tally when trying this trip for the first time over C&D last month. Danehill Star ran his best race when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and he may have to settle for silver again here, with Battleofbaltimore and Catena another couple fancied to get involved.

Rising Force is drawn widest but otherwise very appealing. BARGAIN BASEMENT looks an interesting alternative.

Mrs Morrell represents Flat racing's champion training team and, while she is far from a stable star, she appeals strongly in this grade. That said, she was ultimately well held in both of her previous starts and could again be vulnerable here. POST RIDER fits the bill as one who can deliver a finishing kick and, having shaped with promise when second over 7f here on debut last month, she edges preference as a potential improver. King Of Codes looks the most noteworthy debutant.

This could be a good opportunity for MRS MORRELL to get off the mark at the third time of asking unless the betting vibes are notably strong surrounding Roger Varian newcomer Blue Virtue. Roman Emperor may prove best of the remainder.

Preference is for POST RIDER, ahead of Mrs Morrell and Roman Emperor. Blue Virtue looks best of the newcomers.

PERSIAN BLUE found only a subsequent winner too strong in a maiden at Nottingham in September and a similar level of performance could be good enough to see the filly shed her maiden tag here. It's Showtime didn't quite progress as expected when beaten almost nine lengths at Lingfield last month, but Conrad Allen's charge may give the selection most to think about, ahead of On Song.

This is probably best left to PERSIAN BLUE, who was runner-up in a maiden at Nottingham on the second of her 2 starts in September and she remains capable of better. Debutante Pandora's Gift is one to note in the betting and, if the vibes are upbeat, she could be the one for the forecast ahead of It's Showtime and On Song.

This looks the right race for PERSIAN BLUE who improved on quite a promising AW debut when runner-up to a useful one on turf.

Q TWENTY BOY has posted a pair of runner-up efforts at this venue since his C&D triumph in September and the eight-year-old could be worth sticking with this evening. Fellow in-form rival One For The Ladies has displayed enough promise in recent appearances at Wolverhampton to suggest that she is also likely to be in the mix. The daughter of Swiss Spirit is feared most, ahead of Smasher and Jumira Bridge.

There were excuses for JUMIRA BRIDGE at Wolverhampton last time and he is of strong interest back at this course. One For The Ladies has been knocking on the door and she should be involved in the finish, along with the in-form Q Twenty Boy and Arlecchino's Gift, who is lurking on a dangerous mark.

Judged on his recent course form, Q TWENTY BOY holds particularly solid claims. Fantasy Navigator is second choice.

Court Of Session wasn't far off a career-best performance when a close-up second at Southwell last month and this two-time C&D winner must enter calculations off only 3lb higher. However, KEYSER SOZE did well from an uncompromising position to finish runner-up over track and trip off 2lb lower last month and the nine-year-could could go one place better from a good draw in stall two. Urban Sprawl often gives his running and he shouldn't be far away either.

The vote goes to ELIGIBLE, who produced an eye-catching effort back from a break at Southwell recently and he's only 2 lb higher than for his success in a big-field York handicap during the spring. Assuming Eagle Day, who is due to run at Wolverhampton on Sunday, doesn't take his chance, the consistent Urban Sprawl and Hieronymus may emerge as the main dangers.

Being effectively ahead of the assessor, URBAN SPRAWL (nap) can open his AW account. Court Of Session is second choice.

WILDE AND DANDY may have disappointed at Wolverhampton last time out but he was a determined winner over C&D on his penultimate start and still looks feasibly treated off a 4lb higher mark. He can get the better of the unexposed Top Button, who should improve for going back up in trip, and the consistent Got No Dollars. Dagmar Run has almost five lengths to make up with the selection from that meeting over C&D last month, but he is 3lb better off with that rival this evening.

The lightly-raced TOP BUTTON wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut over 6f at Kempton and, with this step back up in trip seemingly a good move, he is taken to open his account. Got No Dollars is on a long losing run but he's been holding his form well in recent months and should be on the premises, while Wilde And Dandy, who scored over C&D on his penultimate start, is another to consider. Ring of Gold is also shortlisted.

The suggestion is McCAULEY'S TAVERN, who is nicely treated on his spring form and could get closer to that level now back up in trip.

A mark of 76 could underestimate him and he may have too much for three-time C&D winner Boasty and Wadacre Gomez, who has been running with credit of late but has not won since August.

ROGUE SOLDIER wasn't beaten far on his only prior outing in handicap company, and having landed a Wolverhampton maiden last time, he's taken to follow up, with his mark still looking workable despite a 4 lb rise. Enough Already arrives at the top of his game and can't be discounted, with Boasty taken to complete the placings.

This may go the way of ENOUGH ALREADY if he can transfer his recent good form at Lingfield to a track he's not experienced before.

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.
