1	8 1st (8) (9/2 -13%) Scott's Legacy		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(8) Scott's Legacy 9/2, Modest debut well beaten in a juvenile bumper at Hereford only start; off a short-break; effective 2m; well fancied for debut, that form had knocks but should be capable of better. Beaten 20l at Hereford but he was a short-priced favourite and the ground was soft.

3	2 3rd (2) (9/2 +25%) L'amalric		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(2) L'amalric 9/2, No worthwhile form; returning from a break; showed nothing in points but represents top trainer/jockey combo in this discipline; watch betting.

Irish run reads well; tailed off at Warwick but was a strong 2-1 market leader.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/8 +31%) Indulto Rouge		1.375 11/8(+31%)																															(1) Indulto Rouge 11/8, Ran to form down the field in King Edward VII Ascot Membership NH Flat Race (Listed) at Ascot most recent; that form boosted; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; more needed to get off the mark but point winner could improve. Soft ground perhaps not ideal last time, and that was at Ascot; had wind op.

INDULTO ROUGE, the winner of a point-to-point before joining David Pipe, should find this easier than the Listed race he contested at Ascot in December. Having had a wind problem addressed since, the five-year-old can kick on. Tandy's Bridge showed promise on his sole start in Ireland and is dangerous to underestimate, despite running too freely to justify favouritism on debut for Tom Ellis at Warwick, while Scaredofnothing ran green at Wincanton but posted an encouraging enough debut effort to make the shortlist in this company.

David Pipe's INDULTO ROUGE has undergone a wind operation since finishing well beaten in a soft-ground Ascot bumper.

1	4 1st (4) (13/2 +80%) Victory Shout		6.5 13/2(+80%)																															(4) Victory Shout 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Exeter latest; off a short-break; yet to deliver on Flat promise but given basement mark. Quiet start over hurdles; 33-1 and upped to 2m5f when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (25/1 -39%) Walk In The West		25 25/1(-39%)																															(7) Walk In The West 25/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton latest; hood and tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; plenty to prove over hurdles. Lacks solid form claims; hood and tongue-tie are now fitted and it's his handicap debut.
3	11 3rd (11) (66/1 -164%) Dance Havana		66 66/1(-164%)																															(11) Dance Havana 66/1, Not suited by the ground well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest; effective 2m-2m3f on a sound surface; massive absence to overcome.

5th	3 5th (3) (15/8 -7%) St Lukes Chelsea		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(3) St Lukes Chelsea 15/8, Back to best on drier ground beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; good chance again. 0-16 but his last four starts, latest over C&D, all suggest a major role today.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -83%) Castle Quarter		11 11/1(-83%)																															(5) Castle Quarter 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham latest; off a short-break; effective around 2m, acts on good to soft and good; bounce back needed. Wincanton 3rd two starts back was easily the best of his four efforts this autumn/winter.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 -120%) Raging Al		11 11/1(-120%)																															(2) Raging Al 11/1, Too much to do behind all-the-way winner on handicap debut when second beaten 13l at Ludlow latest; usually held up; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; can do better in handicaps when ridden more positively.

11th	6 11th (6) (14/1 +30%) Daany		14 14/1(+30%)																															(6) Daany 14/1, Small step back in right direction when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton latest; effective around 2m on soft and good; bounce back needed. Had an excellent 2024 but absent 343 days afterwards and has not regained his form.
1	1 |PU| (1) (4/1 +38%) Thistle Be The One		4 4/1(+38%)																															(1) Thistle Be The One 4/1, Jumping let him down when fourth beaten 43l in a maiden hurdle at Plumpton latest; visor first time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; handicapper given him a chance. This season has been particularly disappointing and he now has a change in equipment.

ST LUKES CHELSEA was beaten less than a length when third over C&D earlier in the month and the handicapper might have kind to only put him up 1lb for that effort. With the majority of his rivals having something to prove, Robert Walford's gelding has every chance of getting off the mark. Raging Al was no match for an easy winner on his handicap bow at Ludlow but remains capable of stepping forward. Man Oh Man and Castle Quarter are others to note.

0-16 but in the firing line all the way up the straight over C&D last time, ST LUKES CHELSEA makes most appeal in this low-level race.

1	4 1st (4) (28/1 -56%) Raby Mere		28 28/1(-56%)																															(4) Raby Mere 28/1, Never travelled, unsuited by waiting tactics when fourth beaten 26l in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham latest; effective 2 1/2m, wants decent ground; out of form, best when ridden positively. Well beaten in two runs for current yard but this good ground will suit him better.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/4 +44%) Peckforton Hills		1.25 5/4(+44%)																															(6) Peckforton Hills 5/4, Travelled, ran to form just tiring late having got racing early when second beaten 12l in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster latest; effective at 2m1f-2m4f, acts on soft; can do better judged on bumper form. Placed in both handicaps; lightly raced so retains potential and he's up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 +14%) Redeeming Love		6 6/1(+14%)																															(3) Redeeming Love 6/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test well beaten in a novice hurdle at Market Rasen latest; tongue-tie first time; likely improver now handicapping over further. Tongue-tie on for handicap debut and would merit attention if at all strong in the betting.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 -45%) Jack The Savage		4 4/1(-45%)																															(5) Jack The Savage 4/1, Returned to form suited by positive ride landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Hereford last time; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on a sound surface; remains well treated on best efforts. Had dropped to a good mark and finally exploited it with a head success at Hereford.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/1 -83%) Big Bert		11 11/1(-83%)																															(2) Big Bert 11/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Hereford latest; trainer in form; tongue-tie first time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft; inconsistent over hurdles but opening mark fair for point winner. Not progressing but this is his first handicap in a new tongue-tie.
1	1 |PU| (1) (15/2 -25%) Broderick		7.5 15/2(-25%)																															(1) Broderick 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle latest where went too fast; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft, good; running into form after break until latest but stamina concerns once again. He was lucky to win his maiden 14 months ago and is now 0-5 in handicaps.
7	7 |PU| (7) (17/2 +61%) Honneur De Sivola		8.5 17/2(+61%)																															(7) Honneur De Sivola 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Huntingdon latest where found ground too soft; off a short-break; wants 3m, acts on good; out of form maiden. 0-18 under rules and very opposable on how he's performed in the last year.

JACK THE SAVAGE makes a good bit of appeal in here. He improved for the extra yardage when scoring narrowly at Hereford latest and connections have found their gelding another very winnable opening. Peckforton Hills is the main danger on the back of a couple of solid efforts at Sedgefield and Doncaster, while Big Bert could go well in a first-time tongue-tie.

A chance is taken on handicap debutante REDEEMING LOVE who is up markedly in trip and her dam won over this far.

1	5 1st (5) (7/2 -17%) Ede'iffs Rock		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(5) Ede'iffs Rock 7/2, Back to best, scored with plenty in hand in landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; new mark asks more. Last time cosily gained a second C&D success; hiked up 10lb but she's a big player.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +5%) Gyenyame		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(3) Gyenyame 10/3, Ran to form, good attitude when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark at Wincanton last time; effective 2m4f-3m1f on heavy and good to soft; thorough stayer, can race lazily, in form of late.

C&D winner but remote fourth at Exeter since; possibly worth another chance after a break.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -100%) A Definite Getaway		18 18/1(-100%)																															(4) A Definite Getaway 18/1, Below form, race might have come too soon when 44l third in a handicap chase at Newton Abbot most recent run; returning from long layoff; effective 3m-3m2f on a sound surface; back from a break with more to offer. Off since a well-held third at Newton Abbot ten months ago; needs to hit ground running.

Ede'iffs Rock got back to winning ways over C&D when making it back-to-back victories in that contest last month. However, a 10lb rise does appear to be on the harsh side, so preference is for WICKED THOUGHTS. A winner over C&D on his penultimate start, a line can be put through his subsequent effort at Exeter and he is only 2lb higher than that success. Gyenyame appears best of the remainder.

Front-running mare EDE'IFFS ROCK goes well round here and is taken to defy a 10lb rise for her latest C&D win

Irish maiden hurdle winner who has been found a weak race to carry his penalty.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 -33%) The Flier Begley		2.5 5/2(-33%)																															(4) The Flier Begley 5/2, Outpaced, needed run well beaten in a handicap chase at Market Rasen latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good; very useful chaser is better in that sphere but well treated on these terms so of interest.

HILLBERRY HILL has a penalty to contend with here for his maiden hurdle success in Ireland, but he really improved for the step up to this trip that day at Thurles and is taken to go in again. The Flier Begley is hugely experienced over fences and is interesting pitched in here, while Sea Of Fortune is surely better than what he showed in a Chepstow bumper.

It wasn't a bad maiden that HILLBERRY HILL won in Ireland and he's been found a very weak race to carry his penalty.

LAPIDARIST is an attractive proposition at this level and won't need to find much to gain a breakthrough success at the 12th time of asking. Taryn Langley gave her a power-packed ride over an extended 1m1f here 11 days ago and the partnership was unlucky to be pipped by a progressive rival near the finish. A 1lb nudge could be inconsequential as the David Simcock-trained filly bids to go one better. Quick Turn and Musical Soldier, who have been given chances by the handicapper, are the pick of the rest.

Several runners who may improve now they're qualified for this type of race. Particularly interesting is LADY OF CLOVER.

FINE CASTING was a solid second at Uttoxeter when last seen over hurdles and, having scored over fences since, the Ben Pauling inmate is interesting reverting to timber under 7lb claimer Elliott England. Karton Plein's third at Lingfield gives him every chance and he's certainly one to bear in mind, while others to note include Codetalker and Isle Of Sark.

This looks open. MOAB has finished second to well-handicapped horses in his last two hurdle races and the return to further can help.

PRAIRIE QUEEN showed a lot more at Hereford last time when third in a handicap hurdle and this could be the time to catch her off a light weight and switching to fences. Bobbi's Beauty couldn't land a blow at Warwick but would have every chance on her previous form at Lingfield and Leicester, while Ryder's Rock is another to note.

Joe Tizzard's RYDER'S ROCK is taken to build on an encouraging hurdling third at Exeter after an absence and gain a second chasing win.

SORTED posted his best effort yet with a close-up second over C&D last week. Forced to race wide in the latter stages on that occasion, it would be no surprise to see Billy Loughnane take a handier position sooner and the three-year-old could be tough to overhaul if that scenario plays out. Lexington Express and Buckland Belle have threatened to win races and may take advantage of reduced marks. However, the less-exposed Nautical Sky could be a better value alternative on handicap debut from a feasible rating.

Having nearly won a similar event over C&D eight days ago, SORTED holds particularly solid claims. Angry Ant is second pick.

Kylenoe Dancer must be taken seriously on the back of her ready Fontwell success, but BRAVETHEWAVES brings winning C&D form to the table and is slightly more appealing on the back of an impressive Doncaster triumph over the larger obstacles. He could be the way to go, but it's also worth keeping a close eye on Cher Monsieur sporting first-time cheekpieces.

According to the market, MY FORTUNE was expected to benefit from a step up in trip on his handicap debut only to struggle on soft going.

Representing connections who love having winners at this track, ARTABAN is a debutant very much to take seriously and master handler Paul Nicholls could hardly have found him a better opening. Those with form don't set a very high standard as Crest of Arms finished seventh on debut at Wincanton before another mediocre display at Cheltenham, albeit that was in Listed company. Arms Park will need to improve on his third-placed effort here.

Anthony Honeyball's CREST OF ARMS caught the eye when seventh in a Cheltenham Listed bumper and can build on it here to get off the mark

Several of these are old rivals and there is little to split the likes of Kento, Auntie Jo and Kipp Kelly based on recent encounters. However, this could be a good time to take another chance on HENERY HAWK, who is still handily weighted in comparison to his peak form. A previous C&D winner, Linda Perratt's seven-year-old has held his form well of late and is notably 3lb better off with the aforementioned Kento, who also benefitted from getting first run on him here earlier in the month.

Derek Shaw has two solid contenders with the class-dropping BURABACK preferred over Kipp Kelly.

3	3 (3) (4/6 +52%) Royal Standard		0.666667 4/6(+52%)																															(3) Royal Standard 4/6, Built slightly on debut when fourth beaten 4l in a maiden at Yarmouth latest; that strong form; bred to want about 10f; major player back from break. Good 4th at Yarmouth when last seen in September (1m); new trip a plus; contender.
2	2 (2) (5/4 -37%) Montevetro		1.25 5/4(-37%)																															(2) Montevetro 5/4, Late headway on promising debut runner-up beaten 3l in a maiden at Chelmsford only start; top course jockey; stays 10f well, acts on AW; should make marked improvement for top yard. Second of five in steadily-run 1m2f maiden 17 days ago; bred to do much better.

Keen/green when down the field on debut (7f) three months ago but was sent off favourite.
1	1 (1) (150/1 -200%) Cribbins		150 150/1(-200%)																															(1) Cribbins 150/1, Probably needed the run well beaten in a maiden at Kempton latest; bred to stay; entitled to improve from debut but bumper performer likely one for longer distance handicaps further down the line. Poor form in two bumpers and a 1m4f AW maiden.

MONTEVETRO, an 800,000gns yearling and half-brother to Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Mac Swiney, ran green on debut at Chelmsford but it will be disappointing for his illustrious connections if he didn't learn enough to get off the mark at this level. Royal Standard was well held on both starts as a juvenile but also has a likeable enough pedigree to merit respect in a race of this nature. Stepanov disappointed as a well-backed favourite on his debut but is another feasible improver.

Montevetro can build on his debut effort but ROYAL STANDARD should benefit from moving up in trip and he is preferred.

2	2 (2) (7/2 +30%) Autumn Angel		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(2) Autumn Angel 7/2, Made too much use of back up in trip, didn't get home beaten 4l in a classified race at Southwell last time; top course trainer; effective at 6/7f, acts on AW; longer trip a plus, should go well. Not found her best this winter but still capable of a prominent showing at this level.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +30%) Beneficiary		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(3) Beneficiary 7/2, Returned to form back in a handicap when second beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell latest; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; chance if building on latest, that form boosted. Runner-up in three of his last four starts; solid candidate back in a classified event.
8	8 (8) (11/2 -22%) Optimistic		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(8) Optimistic 11/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form when second beaten a head in a classified race here latest; effective at 5/6f, acts on AW; in good form in similar events and not fully exposed. Just missed out in a similar C&D event three weeks ago; capable of better.
11	11 (11) (6/1 +33%) Top Biller		6 6/1(+33%)																															(11) Top Biller 6/1, No obvious excuse beaten 5l in a classified race here last time; effective 6f, acts on sound surface; inconsistent. Not fired in two runs after a break; capable at this level but an easy lead is unlikely.
7	7 (7) (13/2 -30%) Mister Mcgregor		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(7) Mister Mcgregor 13/2, Better effort down in class when second beaten a length in a classified race here latest; effective 6/7f, acts on good to firm and AW; longstanding maiden needs to build on latest. 0-21 but he ran a cracker dropped to this grade three weeks ago; in the mix with a repeat.
4	4 (4) (13/2 -8%) Flicka's Girl		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(4) Flicka's Girl 13/2, Ran to form 1 1/4l third in a classified race here most recent run; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; in form and can go well again. Arrives in form; 0-9 over 6f but recent efforts at the distance have been creditable.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +60%) I Was Thinking		8 8/1(+60%)																															(6) I Was Thinking 8/1, Forced wide from poor draw, not find much down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; returning from a break; effective up to 7f, acts on AW; plenty to prove. Drops back in trip for his seasonal return; unexposed and he needs a market check.
5	5 (5) (10/1 +17%) Gimmieminnie		10 10/1(+17%)																															(5) Gimmieminnie 10/1, Again ran to a poor level beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on yielding, AW; exposed maiden isn't one to rely on. Inconsistent maiden in Ireland but has one piece of form that makes her of some interest.
12	12 (12) (12/1 -33%) Top Star		12 12/1(-33%)																															(12) Top Star 12/1, Far too free in front well beaten in a handicap at Chelmsford latest; effective 5f, acts on AW; in decent form after lay off until last time. 0-9; ran well for second at Southwell (5f) last month but couldn't build on it last time.
1	1 (1) (33/1 -83%) Alyara		33 33/1(-83%)																															(1) Alyara 33/1, Continued in poor form beaten 8 1/4l in a classified race here last time; in good form prior; wide draw; effective 6-8f, suited by AW; veteran now operates at poor level, erratic. Close fourth over C&D three weeks ago but she took a backwards step last time.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -142%) She Went Whoosh		80 80/1(-142%)																															(10) She Went Whoosh 80/1, Never threatened, continued in moderate form well beaten in a classified race here latest; wide draw; effective 5/6f, acts with cut, best on AW; bounce back needed. Good 2nd over C&D in January but she has failed to back it up since; wide stall tonight.

OPTIMISTIC is the obvious place to start here and must have a great chance on the evidence of his Southwell third and close-up second here last time. He's going in the right direction and can strike, but it won't be easy because course scorer Flicka's Girl should run her usual honest race and be bang there. Autumn Angel is noted too.

The unexposed Optimistic is high on the list but GIMMIEMINNIE might be worth chancing on her British debut.

C&D winner; good 2nd here two weeks ago and he's a leading contender on that evidence.

Two C&D wins to his name; solid effort when last seen; well drawn for stable debut; chance.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -82%) Port Hedland		10 10/1(-82%)																															(8) Port Hedland 10/1, Bit too free and flattened out late as usual when fourth beaten 2l in a handicap here latest; top course trainer; suited by easy 5f, seems to stay 6f, acts on a sound surface, likes Brighton; doesn't usually see races out. Beaten under 2l here in two runs this month; hard to win with but should run his race.

C&D winner; quiet so far this year; revival may be predicted by the betting.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -33%) Big Time Rascal		12 12/1(-33%)																															(3) Big Time Rascal 12/1, Too slow away and keen throughout beaten 5l in a handicap at Brighton last time; effective 5/6f on a sound surface; attitude issues and likely to need this. 6f Brighton win last May but ended the campaign quietly and absent for 176 days.
9	9 (9) (25/1 -56%) Stroxx		25 25/1(-56%)																															(9) Stroxx 25/1, Made too much use of beaten 4l in a classified race at Newcastle last time; effective 5/6f, wants a sound surface; needs more even at this level. Inconsistent this winter and he looks vulnerable on a rare 6f run.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -39%) My Mate Beattie		25 25/1(-39%)																															(7) My Mate Beattie 25/1, Every chance, below form down the field in a handicap here most recent; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good and all-weather; bounce back needed from exposed maiden. Exposed maiden who ran poorly here four weeks ago (7f); others have stronger claims.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -27%) Bernard Spierpoint		28 28/1(-27%)																															(1) Bernard Spierpoint 28/1, Never threatened well beaten in a classified race here latest; suited by 5f, acts on any; out of form. Nine-time winner but 2025 was a struggle and his recent return was a low-key one.

C&D winner TOMMYTWOHOOTS looks ready to get back to winning ways judged on his improved second at Chelmsford last time out. It looks a good move to come back to Wolverhampton and a race of this nature is well within his compass. Dr Ali was beaten just a neck into second here last time and commands respect, as does Black Cab.

Money for Walking On Clouds would change the complexion of the race but as things stand TOMMYTWOHOOTS is tentatively preferred.

AMERICAN BAY gets just a tentative vote on the basis that his comeback run here 15 days ago was a performance full of promise. Not beaten far into third that day, he's entitled to have improved for the outing and could be difficult to stop with Billy Loughnane keeping the ride. Smooth Silesie has an absence to overcome but still requires attention and Beaumadier is interesting as well.

If BEAUMADIER (nap) gets it right at the start he could still rate higher under these conditions. American Bay is feared most.

Two C&D runs in late 2025, 3rd on debut before ready front-running win; this demands more.

This could be a really informative novice heat and BURDETT ESTATE must have every chance following a smooth C&D win in December. He made all that day and looks to be the pace angle again, so could dominate this small field. Merlier confirmed the promise of his debut second at Newcastle when winning impressively there 13 days ago and he's respected along with Nottingham scorer Time To Take Off.

Three last-time-out winners lock horns and TIME TO TAKE OFF, who looked promising on debut, can maintain her unbeaten record.

A really competitive handicap to close the card and Mr Nugget, a C&D winner, is taken to put a disappointing Newcastle effort on Saturday behind him back at this venue. Panama Black and Farasi Lane are a couple of others to be interested in, but FRANCESI gets the nod as he boasts good form here and can be forgiven one lacklustre effort at Newcastle last time. It's also worth noting that Billy Loughnane takes the ride.

This may be fought out by the two oldest runners in the field. Rossa Ryan rides FARASI LANE for the first time and he's preferred.

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.
