Respected yard and cost E52,000 as a store but beaten 49l in both starts over 2m.
11th	1 11th (1) (125/1 -400%) Brightmarchmorning	125 125/1(-400%)	(1) Brightmarchmorning 125/1, 18,000 euros Sholokhov gelding; full-brother to Vanderpoel, very useful chaser at 15f; likely to need this initial experience.

Killarney trainer Eamon Courtney landed this maiden two years ago and can take home the prize again courtesy of OAKS SOLDIER. The six-year-old ran his best race so far when narrowly beaten in a handicap over a similar trip at Thurles and can put his proven stamina to good use here. Strange Currency was disappointing last time but the form of his previous third at Punchestown has worked out well. Belladona Princess was let down by her jumping when runner-up over 3m at Limerick but the addition of cheekpieces might aid her cause.

Just touched off in a handicap over this trip at Thurles, OAKS SOLDIER can go one better for the yard which won this two years ago

A confident vote goes to the Alan King-trained NEON DREAM, who had the winner in his sights at the last over C&D recently before weakening up the run-in. He ought to progress on his second run following wind surgery and is preferred to point winner Untapped Potential, a 47,000-euro purchase at the Goffs sales in February. Ballymoreen completes the shortlist.

This looks an inviting opportunity for NEON DREAM to open his account after some solid placed efforts, with the stable going well.

Rogue Messiah made a promising start when scoring at Windsor before disappointing at Thirsk after proving difficult to ride in the closing stages. A gelding operation might aid his cause but the vote goes to CREATIVE QUEEN. She was a warm order when finishing second on debut at Newcastle in September and is entitled to improve for that experience. Zain Primus appeals most of the remainder.

Preference is for CREATIVE QUEEN who was turned over at skinny odds on her debut but is surely capable of much better.

DEISE CRYSTAL looks capable of picking up a race or two after a promising run at Naas. On his first start out of maiden company, the five-year-old travelled well before finishing fourth behind a well-treated winner. He should be all the better for the experience gained in that outing and has a pull at the weights with King Bob, who was runner-up on that occasion. The latter has been placed on his last three starts and is likely to be involved at the business end again. Only For Our Man was runner-up in his first handicap and is now 3lb higher. He drops back in trip from 2m3f and may be vulnerable as a result.

A 5lb pull at the weights gives DEISE CRYSTAL (nap) good prospects of reversing Naas form with the slightly more exposed King Bob

THE UBERMENSCH has progressed with each start to date and was last seen finishing third here over 7f at the end of February. Now making his handicap debut, Michael Bell's charge appeals most with the likelihood of more to come. King Of Speed should prove to be happier back on the all-weather following his latest outing at Doncaster, while others to note include River Wharfe and Lessay.

King Of Speed is a contender. However, with Conor Whiteley to assist, Saturday's C&D winner COLOANE can potentially go in again.

Having struck at Wincanton in January, LOCAL DERBY put a Fontwell mishap behind him when returning to winning ways at Exeter and Chris Gordon's charge is expected to defy a further 6lb rise. If there is to be a fly in the ointment it might be handicap-debutant Lola De Magny, who has shown promise in a couple of maidens so far. All Authorized is also noted.

Topweight LOCAL DERBY is a 6yo on the up and can make it three wins from his last four starts. Mild Magic is second choice.

SAVEFORARAINYDAY impressed with a wide-margin success in a mares' maiden hurdle at Limerick in February. The form of her fourth at Leopardstown over Christmas has been very well franked, so she has a sporting chance of giving weight away here. Anna McGuinness claims 7lb on Arslan and the pair teamed up well when winning at Thurles. Radiator Springs has form behind top-class mares Oldschool Outlaw and Bambino Fever when third at Naas, and built on that when delivering at Clonmel in January.

There are loads to consider but THANKYOUFORTHEDAYS was heavily backed when bolting up in his first handicap.

Whilst a few have something to prove, INDEPENDENT LADY can cash in and record a second career triumph. Nicky Henderson's mare pulled clear with the runner-up before going on to land a cosy C&D victory on her handicap bow and a 5lb rise should be no barrier to further success. Innisfree Pearl is the main threat, whilst Miss Kassiopi heads the remainder.

A C&D winner on her handicap debut, INDEPENDENT LADY (nap) can follow up off 5lb higher, with Innisfree Pearl her main threat.

SHOTGUN RIDER was too keen to do himself justice on his handicap bow when finishing last at Doncaster last month. However, he could leave that effort behind on this much tighter track which places less emphasis on stamina. Bitsnbuckles finished ahead of the selection but appears to be high enough in the handicap, while Painted Wolf completes the shortlist after his recent C&D second.

Coolkatie has potential but preference is for PAINTED WOLF, who ran well over C&D last month and is also still lightly raced.

Eastern Veil stepped forward from her debut fourth at Southwell to get off the mark at Wolverhampton despite showing signs of inexperience. Andrew Balding's filly is entitled to have more to offer along with Irish Incentive, who went close at Southwell last time, but GUESSTIMATE is preferred. The daughter of Sea The Moon showed promise when runner-up on her second start over C&D and this appears to be an ideal starting point this season before potentially stepping up in trip.

This may be best left to GUESSTIMATE who was last seen finishing second of 13 over C&D in November.

A course winner over hurdles, SKY LORD has shown useful form in novice company over fences and can make a winning start in handicaps. Henry de Bromhead's charge was well supported in the market when third in a rated novice at Down Royal in January. The stable is in better form now and the seven-year-old should be capable of producing a stronger finishing effort. Gavin Cromwell runs three and handicap debutant Glenashling may be his best hope having shown up well in novice events. A Listed handicap winner over hurdles, The Busy Fool ran well when third to an Irish Grand National contender at Naas and may improve for the application of cheekpieces.

Slightly disappointing at Down Royal in January, SKY LORD represents a yard in better form now and he's probably on a winnable mark.

LTO Selection:

PERSHAADA boasts a speedy pedigree, with her dam being a Listed winner as a juvenile, and is closely related to Woodcote winner Teej A. Richard Hannon is already on the board with his two-year-olds this season having won the Brocklesby and she gets the vote to make a winning debut. Amber Ocean cost 70,000 euros at the Arqana yearling sale and commands respect along with Lover Girl.

With Richard Hannon saddling the Brocklesby winner at Doncaster last week, most eyes will be on his 88,000gns yearling PERSHAADA.

The classy veteran EDWARDSTONE proved that he was still in love with the game when landing the Silviniaco Conti at Kempton before posting an understandably lesser effort in the Ascot Chase when last seen. Top weight should be no burden for Alan King's 12-year-old and he is fancied to get the better of progressive six-year-old Secret Des Dieux, while Kotmask can chase the pair home.

The 12yo Edwardstone can play a leading role but preference is for the progressive 6yo SECRET DES DIEUX, who arrives on a hat-trick.

MAJOLIQUE looked smart when winning an eventful juvenile hurdle on debut for Willie Mullins at Naas in February. She put in good late work to draw four-lengths clear and there should be plenty more to come from her. Proactif was a beaten favourite when unplaced in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, but could readily resume winning ways if putting his best foot forward. Moulin Labbe opened up to win well at Navan and is not without a chance, while Michonne and North Shore shouldn't be disregarded.

It's clearly significant that Paul Townend rides the promising filly MAJOLIQUE who runs here in preference to the Grade 1 at Aintree.

Desert Halo defeated a subsequent winner when returned to hurdles at Plumpton last month so merits the utmost respect from 3lb higher, but BONGO MAN shades preference. The son of Jack Hobbs posted a career-best effort to fill second place at Huntingdon and whilst Joe Anderson negates the 2lb rise he might prove better treated. Others to note include Bouquet De Paris and Kingdom Of Stars.

Desert Halo remains on a handy mark, but preference is for BOUQUET DE PARIS back on better ground and still unexposed in handicaps.

TRALEE GIRL shaped with plenty of encouragement on her first two hurdle starts behind some useful opposition before not running up to scratch at Doncaster. Down in grade, Dan Skelton's filly has an excellent opportunity to get off the mark in this sphere. Faye Bramley has done particularly well with her juvenile hurdlers this season and it would be no surprise if Whatcombe proved to be the main threat. Cotton Socks heads the remainder.

Devil's Advocate struggled following his fourth in the Dante before bouncing right back to form in handicap company at Doncaster. He wasn't at all disgraced when being Ombudsman's pacemaker in the Champion Stakes but an official rating of 112 may just flatter him slightly. With that in mind, GETHIN looks the one to side with. Owen Burrows' colt was considered for a Derby trial after winning under a penalty at Newbury until meeting with a setback, which ruled him out until the autumn where he ran with credit twice in Listed company. Plage De Havre was impressive in the Old Newton Cup when last seen and is an interesting contender upped in class.

This can go to the unexposed GETHIN who has shown useful form and is proven fresh, while his half-brother won this race in 2021.

Runner-up in a beginners' chase at Killarney when trained by Henry de Bromhead, THE GREAT UNKNOWN has won nine of her 11 starts since going point-to-pointing for Sam Curling. The seven-year-old is unbeaten in four starts this winter and this looks a great chance for her to gain a first win under Rules. Sworn Duty has won twice from four starts in points and can contend on her first racetrack outing. Lucy Wang was second in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle as a three-year-old and has landed two of her last three starts in point-to-points. She is fitted with a tongue-tie for her return to action under Rules.

This should be straightforward for THE GREAT UNKNOWN who has contributed handsomely to a terrific season for Sam Curling

The William Haggas-trained CARAWAY hasn't sparkled yet, but her dam was a Listed winner over 1m5f, and it's still early days for her.

LORIKO made little impact in a Hereford handicap in December but the son of Cokoriko boasts an official rating of 123 and is likely to take all the beating if returning to the form that saw him chase home the subsequent Grade 2 winner Kripticjm at Ascot in November. Flash Man shaped with promise at Kempton a fortnight ago and looks the main threat on the back of that performance, while the market can guide with regards to the Gary and Josh Moore duo Tetsworth and Oblemenko.

Dan Skelton's representative LORIKO holds leading claims judged on his autumn form. Tetsworth could be best of the rest.

GRANN'S BOY looked to be on good terms with himself when runner-up on his comeback on the Flat at Navan last week. Prior to that, he was also second in a decent handicap hurdle at Galway in October and the Navan spin should have blown the cobwebs away. Hat-trick-seeking Shabby Hill merits plenty of respect on handicap debut. He hasn't been winning by far, so it is hard for the handicapper to get a gauge on his ability. Gordon Elliott's Timeless Treaty is a triple winner over flights and should be in the mix for prize money, while Eagles Reign showed a welcome return to form when runner-up at Naas last month.

Preference is for GRANN'S BOY who won at this meeting last year and he should be cherry ripe after a pleasing Flat run at Navan

DESPEREAUX faded badly here on his first start since scoring over C&D in December. Jane Williams' hurdler should be sharper for this and is fancied to launch a strong challenge if back on song. Third over 3m2f at Fontwell on her penultimate start, Malago Rose is a dour stayer and could be thereabouts once again off an unchanged mark. She makes more appeal than Woodythewoodpecker and Double Click on the likely fast ground.

The most appealing option is WOODYTHEWOODPECKER, who was runner-up when raised to about 3m2f for his last two starts.

SONIGINO wasn't disgraced two starts ago when third at Sandown before his stamina appeared to be stretched in a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh last time. Now switched to fences, this looks to be a suitable opportunity to get his head back in front. Walking On Air has the ability to be very competitive in a race of this nature but he hasn't won for over three years. Kilaro goes straight over fences after running in bumpers and has plenty to find.

His two useful rivals have become very inconsistent so it might be worth chancing KILARO, who looked promising in bumpers this season.

MARNIER represents a top yard and has a good chance of making a successful handicap debut. The ready winner of a three-runner maiden at Lingfield when last seen, the John & Thady Gosden-trained gelding has stacks of potential and this will give his connections strong clues about where to go from here. Bahadur rounded off 2025 with a hat-trick on the all-weather, including a C&D victory in a novice event that has worked out well. He is feared more than Topteam, whose Polytrack form needs to be improved upon.

Bahadur defends an unbeaten AW record, but in an open race MARNIER is taken to make a winning handicap debut.

HEARTS AND SPADES had some reasonable form over hurdles a couple of years ago and has done well in point-to-points this winter. After four wins on the spin, he was narrowly defeated by the prolific Winged Leader at Portrush nine days ago and there was little wrong with that effort. He is fitted with a hood for the first time. Fourth in this last year, Dromleigh was only beaten a head by the selection at Dromahane in December and has won his last two starts. Focus Point and Sampoet filled the placings in a 2m4f contest at Down Royal last month and they both make the shortlist, with the latter now tried in cheekpieces for the first time.

This could boil down to a match. HEARTS AND SPADES got the better of Drumleigh at Dromahane in December and can prevail again

The dual novice winner Elements Of Fire scored at Chelmsford on last month's handicap debut. He remains of interest with the prospect of more to come, but RECENCY BIAS could prove better than his opening mark. The son of Havana Grey romped home by five lengths at Newcastle on his return from a lengthy absence and Karl Burke's charge will be hard to keep out of the finish on that evidence. Willem Twee is preferred of the rest.

Karl Burke's RECENCY BIAS disposed of an odds-on favourite in a Newcastle novice recently, and can make a winning handicap debut.

MINELLA JURY looked sure to contest the finish at Doncaster last time but fell at the last hurdle. The son of Jukebox Jury is one to keep on the right side of on only his second start in a handicap. Mount Anglesby held off a strong challenge by Kel Du Large (second) to win at Warwick. That pair are hard to separate, but High Fibre may emerge as a bigger threat having been headed close home at Ludlow a week ago.

A hot contest. GRAND CONQUEROR (nap) lost his unbeaten record in handicaps at Kempton in February but that was still strong form.

KAWABOOMGA looked like he would appreciate a step up in trip when keeping on well in fourth over 2m in a Grade 3 at Gowran Park. An absolute stack of winners came out of the maiden hurdle he won at Fairyhouse last year, so he has plenty of upside. His stablemate, Storm Heart, beat him in that aforementioned Grade 3 and he looks a big player after a keeping-on third in the BetMGM Cup. The Yellow Clay doesn't have an easy task in giving weight away to the field, but is a talented sort.

Storm Heart is in pole position but KAWABOOMGA made a very promising reappearance behind him at Gowran in February.

THAT'S NICE could prove a warm order in this. Her effort petered out in the closing stages when runner-up to a progressive sort at Newbury last time, but this looks less competitive and improvement is expected from Nicky Henderson's six-year-old, having undergone a wind operation since. Party Vibes has a shout only 1lb higher than when winning at Cheltenham in December, while Malaita makes more appeal than Belle Montrose at this level.

Cheekpieces are an unknown for MALAITA but conditions will suit and she looks a more solid option than any of her three rivals.

Best Women, who has has undergone wind surgery since last seen, and Abbey Law, who tries first-time cheekpieces, are potential improvers to monitor in the betting. Whereas, Callmesusie and the handicap-debutant Four Decades have something to prove after modest recent efforts and might be best just watched. That leaves ANNIE NAIL as the one with the fewest questions to answer. A previous course winner who is on her last winning mark, the consistent nine-year-old can put her her rivals to the sword.

Handicap debutante FOUR DECADES shaped with promise in a 2m novice two starts ago and is a daughter of a stoutly bred 3m winner.

MUSICAL ANGEL was consistent during her time with Andrew Balding and having changed hands for 50,000gns at the autumn sales, she has the potential to make a flying start for new connections. Cutting back to 6f shouldn't pose any issues and, having only gone up 3lb for winning at Epsom when last seen, this could be a good starting point. The reliable Lady Roxby and Lady Mariko are also capable of going close, while Mercury Day shouldn't be underestimated.

The vote goes to LADY ROXBY (nap) who ended last term with two narrow defeats and ran well on last season's return from a long layoff.

Former leading novice hurdler ASIAN MASTER can land a first Rules win since January 2024. Following that impressive success at Navan, the gelding went on to finish an honourable fourth in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. The nine-year-old has added a further two wins since returning to point-to-points and he looks the one to beat. A Grade 2 winner over fences in his prime, Journey With Me should be suited to this intermediate trip. In Excelsis Deo also boasts claims if his jumping stands up.

This would seem to offer ASIAN MASTER a good opportunity to add to two point-to-point wins that show he retains plenty of ability

KAMEEL posted his best effort for some time when upped to 1m2f at Newcastle and finishing a respectable third. Related to a winner over this longer trip, Jessica Macey's charge looks worth chancing off his current mark with further improvement a strong possibility. King's Cruiser and The Craftymaster arrive on the back recent victories and could also have a say in proceedings.

Marco Botti's runner KING'S CRUISER is taken to follow up his recent Chelmsford win. The Craftymaster can be next best.

This is the grade that FOUND A FIFTY typically does his best work in and he can repeat last year's victory. With a mark of 162, he is certainly advantaged by the weights in this contest. Blood Destiny put it all together to win a Grade 3 at Naas in February and is a threat. Energumene was third behind Found A Fifty in the Hilly Way in December, so could have a bit to find with him. Saint Sam is likely to give it a good go off the front and he was only beaten by less than a length by Found A Fifty in last year's renewal.

Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand here and FOUND A FIFTY (nap) can bounce back from his poor Cheltenham effort and defend his crown

Last year's winner Invincible Nao cannot be ruled with any confidence, while stablemate and recent Newbury winner Havaila also holds solid claims. However, SEA INVASION ticks plenty of boxes. Anthony Honeyball's charge has his preferred fast ground and landed a brace over 3m1f here last season. Only 2lb higher than his latest success, another bold bid is anticipated. Rivers Corner and Planned Paradise arrive in fine form and are not out of it either.

Good cases can be made for quite a few of these. SEA INVASION loves it here & earns the vote ahead of the progressive Rivers Corner.

JUKEBOX D'EDDY has won three of his last four starts and a 2lb rise for the latest of those victories may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Edgewell won impressively over C&D a few weeks ago and is an obvious threat off 4lb higher. The rest all have questions to answer, but Braganza Bay is the pick of them.

The recent win record of JUKEBOX D'EDDY is respected and he is preferred to Edgewell. The other three have more to prove.

BROTHER BORIS is hard to oppose after two facile wins at this venue. Admittedly, this is tougher than the three-runner event he won over C&D last month. However, he was 21 lengths clear of his nearest pursuer at the line and could again be too hard to reel in from just 2lb higher, with the same 7lb amateur in the plate. Reforme and Cloudy Wednesday have posted comparable form of late and are the most potent threats, in that order of preference.

Good-ground specialist CLOUDY WEDNESDAY (nap) is taken to win this race for the third year in a row.

Being a C&D winner running off a competitive rating, Helm Rock is a viable option following his second at Wolverhampton on his latest start. However, slender preference is for course-specialist FINAL NIGHT, whose four previous successes have all come over C&D. Champagne Powder wasn't at his best at Newcastle when last seen but the four-year-old is better judged on his prior efforts at Chelmsford.

This can go to FINAL NIGHT who is 4-4 over C&D since October. A 4lb rise may not stop him from bagging another course success.

Local rider Maxine O'Sullivan can win this on the Tony Martin-trained KILL VANHOWE. Runner-up on his point-to-point debut at Cragmore in January, the five-year-old went one place better when making the breakthrough at Oldtown the following month and the gelding looks sure to play a leading role. A consistent six-year-old, Sharp As Glass shouldn't be far away. Runner-up in a Killarney bumper last May, the Sam Curling-trained six-year-old has been placed on all six starts in point-to-points. Boundfornowhere is also considered.

Back in form over C&D last time but in a 0-55; that took his record on the AW to 0-17.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 +0%) South Shore	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(3) South Shore 13/2, Bit below form beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, acts on any; just below last winning mark but needs more. Fair comeback at Southwell recently; easy to argue he's more effective over 5f now.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 -56%) Dancing With Drums	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(4) Dancing With Drums 7/2, Further step in right direction when landing a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; suited by 6f and AW; taken another small rise and can go well again. Open to improvement for his new yard; market confidence would look significant.
6th	9 6th (9) (80/1 -100%) The Cutest	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) The Cutest 80/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; usually held up; wide draw; effective 6f on AW; hard to fancy. Regressive maiden who's struggled in lesser races than this; would be a shock winner.

Won't mind coming back down in trip, minus the cheekpieces, but had plenty of chances now.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -32%) On Key	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) On Key 33/1, Run of race, not far off form beaten 3l off this mark here last time; wide draw; suited by 6f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs more to win off this mark. Made most from stall 11 over C&D last time, but only in a 0-55 and is drawn wide again.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/2 +44%) Macarone	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(1) Macarone 9/2, Too keen and didn't get home tried in a visor beaten 9l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; effective 5-7f, acts on AW; mark easing and capable of going well down in trip. 2lb drop sees this dual C&D last autumn back on a workable mark; each-way claims.

VON KROLOCK won over 7f here in February and has placed over the same distance in three subsequent starts. James Owen's consistent seven-year-old is not short of pace and looks worth another try over this shorter trip. A prolific winner on the turf, Rain Cap found only one too good over C&D a fortnight ago, while Rye is still searching for that elusive first win after finishing a close third at Kempton.

The market will tell a tale with Dancing With Drums. Otherwise, RYE has run well over C&D a few times off slightly higher marks.

YASMINA made a winning return after wind surgery with a gritty effort to overcome interference when scoring over C&D most recently. As that was also her debut in a handicap, a modest 3lb rise looks very manageable. A Tickatickatiming goes well here and is competitively weighted for an event of this nature. However, Risk It All is less exposed at this stage and he could prove to be a bigger danger.

Yasmina has more to come but bumper winner UNJEU ROYAL may be able to give the weight away on his handicap debut.

GORAIBHMAITHAGAT appeals after being pipped in the Leinster National at Naas. He is nicely weighted, has Harry Cobden's assistance, and his full-brother won over a marathon trip in last year's Killarney National. First-time blinkers saw Monbeg Genius stay on for third in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham and merits plenty of respect. Rob James steered Better Days Ahead to sixth in this contest last year and the Milan gelding had two lovely preparation runs at Navan. Leopardstown-winner O'Toole is one that could go well at a bigger price, while Ulster National hero Born Braver could get involved if recovered from recent exertions.

It could pay to side with THE JUKEBOX KID whose back-to-back Ascot wins suggest a rate of progression that will see off the home team

Crystal Jet has made the frame on both previous starts and is likely to be in the mix once again. That said, preference is for SEE ME SOON, who is a half-brother to the useful hurdler Go Dante and he represents a top yard. Plan De Stan is another with valid form claims, while any market support for Meli Melo D'angos would have to be noted.

Nicky Henderson's newcomer SEE ME SOON has an attractive pedigree and gets the vote.

L'AMANDINE started to get the hang of things late on when she finished third in a similar event at Ludlow on her debut in January. Likely to be wiser and more accomplished, a step forward can see her get off the mark at the second time of asking. Hidden Fortune, a previous point-to-point winner, also posted an encouraging effort on her Rules debut at Market Rasen. She must be taken seriously with progression likely. Crescendo Lady is the pick of the newcomers.

Irish point winner HIDDEN FORTUNE probably didn't have the race run to suit when second on her rules debut and can improve here.

City Of God took advantage of the favourable terms to land a seller at Chelmsford in February. He will likely confirm superiority over Zoffandia (fifth) back in handicap company, but BERRY CLEVER could prove the one to side with. The latter ended last season with convincing success over C&D and Oisin Murphy's presence suggests he'll be primed for action on his return. Formerly with Charlie Appleby, Broadway Act is worth a second look debuting for new connections.

City Of God had ZOFFANDIA 4l behind him last time but the latter may have found the run coming too soon so can reverse the form.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

TINTARA can make a winning debut for Gordon Elliott. Runner-up in a point-to-point at Ballycrystal in January, the form of that race has been well advertised by the third horse subsequently. A winner of her only point-to-point start to date, Born Believing has to be respected on her Rules debut. Dromahane point-to-point winner Wilton Mills Trier should also be capable of making her presence felt.

It may pay to side with the Ballycrystal runner up TINTARA. She is from a classy family and she has joined a top yard

Having been freshened up by a change of scenery, MOUNT RUAPEHU could be poised to complete a hat-trick. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings for the six-year-old's latest triumph at Southwell looks more than workable, more so with Jack Nicholls being able to utilise his 5lb claim on this occasion. Forever Noah arrives on the back of a close-up second over C&D and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of East Tyrone.

Most of these find winning tough and there's every chance MOUNT RUAPEHU (nap) makes it four from four over 6f on Tapeta.

KAMILLE AU KANADA went straight into a Listed race on her Rules debut at Sandown and this nicely-bred mare should have benefited greatly from the experience. Having finished first past the post in both point-to-point starts (albeit disqualified on the first occasion) the future looks bright for this 72,000-pound purchase. Fellow point recruit Mint Approved wasn't beaten far on his NH introduction and that C&D experience puts him above Hitintheheadlines and Cheap Sandwiches on the shortlist.

Having run creditably in the face of a tough task on her bumper debut, KAMILLE AU KANADA is the selection ahead of Cheap Sandwiches.

A close third in a Listed handicap hurdle at this meeting last year, AYIKO may been campaigned with this race in mind. Having had just the three starts over fences this season, the Stuart Crawford-trained gelding looks reasonably treated off a mark just 1lb below his hurdle rating. Handicap-debutant Butch Cassidy is an interesting runner for the Henry De Bromhead stable and the son of Walk In The Park is open to improvement. Leopardstown winner Joyau De Thaix is another with claims in a competitive affair.

SAVANTE looks like she has turned a corner in recent starts and she may be able to supplement her impressive Navan win

Less exposed than most of these rivals, MIO AMICO is on an upward curve. Michael Keady's four-year-old supplemented his win at Lingfield in January with an impressive success over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time and there could be even more to come over this longer trip. Fleurman ended a barren spell when scoring over C&D and can feature once again, while the veteran Bashful Boy is still capable of making his presence felt.

Rated in the high 90s a couple of years ago, FLEURMAN can add to his recent C&D win. Merrijig is another with claims.

He's Our Cracker has improved with each outing in handicap company, culminating in a triumph at Chelmsford last month, and he must enter the reckoning. However, Jennie Candlish's charge is effectively 8lb higher without Freddie Robson's claim, which may leave the door open for THREE ON THURSDAY. The four-year-old has been knocking on the door at this venue of late and compensation could be imminent. Beachborough Girl is the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for the last-time winner HE'S OUR CRACKER, who should be able to confirm superiority over Beachborough Girl.

Flat Race (Grade 2) at Leoparardstown latest; effective at 2m with cut; can have a say here. Well backed when coming up short in a Grade at the DRF; open to improvement.

Well related mare so she's bred to have a future, but this is no easy starter.

Showed a good attitude to win at Thurles but this race is considerably stronger.
5th	6 5th (6) (20/1 -67%) State Pension	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) State Pension 20/1, Run of race, ran to form when 15l third in a bumper at Naas most recent run; effective 2m, acts on heavy and good to yielding; progressive and but needs more for the win. Good/yielding winner; the ground was heavy when only third at Naas.
6th	9 6th (9) (50/1 -127%) Octo Gane	50 50/1(-127%)	(9) Octo Gane 50/1, Fair bumper debut when 7 1/4l fourth in a maiden bumper at Huntingdon first-time out; absent for very lengthy period; effective at 2m on good; should improve. Too free when a beaten favourite on Huntingdon debut nearly two years ago.

It wasn't pretty when winning at Navan but the ground was heavy and he got the job done.
10th	7 10th (7) (20/1 +60%) Big Boy Dan	20 20/1(+60%)	(7) Big Boy Dan 20/1, 10,500 euros Doyen gelding; half-brother to Exit To The West, useful at 20f; hard to fancy on debut. Asked a stiff question on what's a belated debut at the age of seven.

CHARISMATIC KID can win for the first time since joining trainer Gordon Elliott. Having shaped with plenty of promise when third in a Grade 2 bumper at Leopardstown over Christmas, the gelding will find this task easier. Unbeaten in all three career starts, Jeroboam Machin has clearly not been an easy horse to train. Off the track since February 2024, the Emmet Mullins-trained gelding would be a serious threat if retaining all his old ability. Runner-up on all three runs for Willie Mullins, Poetisa has every chance of a first Irish success.

Preference is for CHARISMATIC KID who carried heavy expectations on his shoulders when an encouraging third at Leopardstown.

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.
