5th	16 5th (16) (5/1 +58%) Jazzy Matty	5 5/1(+58%)	(16) Jazzy Matty 5/1, Beaten a nose off a 13lb higher mark at Cheltenham last time in Grand Annual where challenged too early off strong pace; second run after wind op; effective 2-2 1/2m but best at 2m, wants sound surface; back in form, spring/summer ground will suit and well treated on chase efforts. Nearly recorded a second win in Cheltenham Festival chase; has a lower hurdles mark.
6th	11 6th (11) (28/1 +30%) Jet To Vegas	28 28/1(+30%)	(11) Jet To Vegas 28/1, Every chance, below form on handicap debut, did plenty early when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kelso latest; effective 2m-2m2f; below par this term over hurdles and fences but Grade 2 winner has dropped to generous looking mark, interesting. Below par in the Morebattle; bit to prove in another warm handicap.
7th	18 7th (18) (33/1 +34%) Ballykinlar	33 33/1(+34%)	(18) Ballykinlar 33/1, Travelled, didn't find much, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; in good form prior; effective at 2-2 1/2m on decent ground; Listed form weak enough. Midfield at Cheltenham Festival on debut for new yard; needs to improve.
8th	3 8th (3) (5/1 -25%) Indeevar Bleu	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Indeevar Bleu 5/1, Travelled, did it easily, improved up in trip landing a Handicap Hurdle by 5 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark here last time; returning from a break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts with cut; progressive, more to come at 2 1/2m and kept fresh for this. Progressive sort who won readily over C&D (upped from 2m) on Boxing Day; highly respected.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -39%) Act Of Authority	25 25/1(-39%)	(8) Act Of Authority 25/1, Conceded first run, too much to do, ran to form beaten 4l off a 1lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time; effective 2 1/2-3m; consistent, may be worth another go over slightly further but threat if getting stiff test. Posted another sound effort in the Martin Pipe; broadly consistent.
10th	19 10th (19) (20/1 +0%) Top Jimmy	20 20/1(+0%)	(19) Top Jimmy 20/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Sandown latest when well fancied; that strong form; effective 2-2 1/2m, likely get further; debut form franked at Graded level, progressive but more needed again.

Has lost his form since winning a notable autumn prize; others preferred.
12th	13 12th (13) (125/1 -150%) Bowmore	125 125/1(-150%)	(13) Bowmore 125/1, Outclassed down the field in County Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; effective 2m on good; mark now high enough and vulnerable in this class. Campaigned mostly at about 2m; not crying out for this return to further.
13th	6 13th (6) (33/1 -83%) Fiercely Proud	33 33/1(-83%)	(6) Fiercely Proud 33/1, Scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Ascot penultimate start; ran to form but well held up in class 12th beaten 13l off 137 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on soft, good to soft; unexposed at around 2 1/2m but mark too high. Has gained both handicap wins at Ascot; something to prove back at Aintree.
14th	12 14th (12) (11/1 -69%) Hot Fuss	11 11/1(-69%)	(12) Hot Fuss 11/1, Scored by 3l off a 7lb lower mark at Windsor three starts back; travelled, improved again just outstayed late up in trip at stiff track second beaten 3l off 130 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; consistent.

Has lots of good form but losing spell goes back three years.
16th	22 16th (22) (40/1 -60%) Sir Galahad	40 40/1(-60%)	(22) Sir Galahad 40/1, Beaten 4l in Oddschecker Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham last time where looked in need of stiffer test; in good form prior; effective 2m, consistent on sound surface; wants stiff track or possibly bit further than 2m so this test could suit on return. Attractively weighted and has possibilities with this new trip worth exploring.
17th	20 17th (20) (12/1 +33%) Trustintimes	12 12/1(+33%)	(20) Trustintimes 12/1, Improved again beaten 3 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Kempton last time; returning from a break; effective 2m; progressive, form franked emphatically but stamina to prove up in trip. Improving but goes into unknown territory trip-wise; looks suited by good ground.
18th	10 18th (10) (25/1 -79%) Swindon Village	25 25/1(-79%)	(10) Swindon Village 25/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of, outclassed down the field in Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) at Cheltenham most recent; effective 2m4f, acts on soft; steadily progressive until latest, needs this drop in grade and trip, could bounce back. Record of 311 in 2m4f contests under rules; may have more to offer at this trip.
19th	5 19th (5) (10/1 +0%) Joyeuse	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Joyeuse 10/1, Too much to do in race dominated from front, not best ride, ran to form 5l third in County Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m; back in form and on workable mark; big chance if stamina holds up. Useful mare who ran respectably at the latest Cheltenham Festival; likely player.
20th	15 20th (15) (40/1 +20%) Fiveonefive	40 40/1(+20%)	(15) Fiveonefive 40/1, Unsuited by heavy ground, needed run down the field in a handicap hurdle at Naas most recent; usually held up; effective 2m; stiff mark. Has done his winning at about 2m; far from consistent; opposed.
21st	4 21st (4) (33/1 +0%) Fingle Bridge	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Fingle Bridge 33/1, Below form up in grade when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sandown most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on heavy and good to soft; progressive over hurdles until latest, handicapper may be in charge. Well beaten last time; penultimate effort wasn't bad but this is a stiffer task.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (25/1 -56%) Captain Teague	25 25/1(-56%)	(9) Captain Teague 25/1, Another weak finish having briefly threatened when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Ascot last time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m; former Grade 1 winner but has had issues. May be ready to hit top form; interesting off current mark given his back class.

The winner of this contest 12 months ago, Wellington Arch has to be respected following his recent Uttoxeter success. That said, this is tougher and another 5lb rise demands more from him. With that in mind, preference is for HOT FUSS, who only found one too good in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month and the unexposed five-year-old can defy a 2lb rise to go a place better here. It is interesting that Emid'io Pepe makes his debut for Dan Skelton in a race of this nature and any market support for him would have to be noted. Others to consider are Indeevar Bleu, Jazzy Matty and Joyeuse.

Lightly raced 8yo INDEEVAR BLEU (nap) scores highly on various counts and is first choice ahead of Wellington Arch.

In a contest where all of these have questions to answer, TOM CREEN looks to be the safest option. Runner-up here over shorter in December off a 6lb higher mark, he wasn't disgraced over C&D last month and that might give him the edge. Arctic Saint has had a wind operation ahead of his chase debut which could aid his cause, while Cardamon Hill appears best of the remainder.

With his excellent course record, TOM CREEN is taken to come good again from what looks a handy mark.

Stable 3-52 with 2yo newcomers since 2022; worth a second look given his purchase price.
4	8 4th (8) (33/1 -106%) Turnstile	33 33/1(-106%)	(8) Turnstile 33/1, 7 Apr; Territories colt; half-brother several winners, including U Turn, useful at 5f, and 6f winners Pivoting and Rotation; dam, Poppy Pivot, useful at 5f at 2yo. looks likely outsider on debut. Speedy pedigree offers hope, but he would be a rare winning newcomer from the stable.
5th	7 5th (7) (13/2 +54%) Too Many Spirits	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(7) Too Many Spirits 13/2, 10 Apr; Rajasinghe gelding; full-brother to Hougoumont, very useful at 7f; dam, New Road Side, smart at 5f at 2yo; wide draw; tough enough task on debut.

Stable 4-76 (5%) with 2yo newcomers in past five seasons; probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

WHERE LOVE LIVES cost 55,000 pounds as a yearling and is out of a mare who won the Super Sprint. With that in mind, it would be no surprise to see Kevin Ryan's colt make a winning debut. Thebesthasyetocome was also an expensive purchase at 100,000 pounds and should not be underestimated, while any market support for Hickory Lad should be noted.

This would come only two days after FINAL APPEAL's narrow defeat at Nottingham on Wednesday but the experience would be a big advantage.

Career best when second at Cheltenham Festival latest; this trip looks worth another go.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 0%) Regent's Stroll	4.5 9/2(0%)	(6) Regent's Stroll 9/2, Yard won this last year; 7l third in Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2) at Cheltenham most recent run where wide but well placed in race dominated from front; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f, acts on soft, good; classy sort with more to offer if settling better early but does have work to do to reverse form with Regent's Stroll. Mercurial sort but fine effort at Cheltenham last time; up in trip and may do better yet.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/3 +5%) Salver	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(7) Salver 10/3, 3l third in Brown Advisory Novices' Chase (Grade 1) at Cheltenham most recent run where fared best of those held up on ground quicker than ideal; effective 2-3m, suited by plenty of cut; unexposed at 3m, the one to beat on form but could do with some rain.

Put in his place by Salver on last two starts but arrives fresh; could go well at a price.
5th	1 5th (1) (33/1 +0%) Crest Of Fortune	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Crest Of Fortune 33/1, Flattened out having raced freely but ran to form, not given a hard time 15l third in Reynoldstown Novices' Chase (Grade 2) at Ascot most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m; generally consistent but bit to find at this level and looks stable second string.

Likeable; fell at the last when 6l down at Cheltenham latest; surely on the scene.

Disappointed last time but previously progressive; new trip has often looked worth a crack.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (7/2 +30%) Miami Magic	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(5) Miami Magic 7/2, Did it readily and improved up in trip outclassing rivals when winning a novice chase at Newbury by 15l last time; that form had knocks; beat Regent's Stroll earlier in season; enjoys making it; effective 2-3m on good; useful novice hurdler placed at top level here in that sphere, progressing over fences and looks a big player up in class. Smart novice; beat Regent's Stroll in January; on the premises with clean round of jumping.

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

Regent's Stroll is bound to be popular given that connections won this last year with a similar type. However, the seven-year-old could be vulnerable and preference is for SALVER, who put in a career best when third in the Brown Advisory last month. That is the strongest piece of recent form on offer and the son of Motivator merits the utmost respect. Wendigo would not have been too far behind the selection at Cheltenham but for a fall at the last, while Gold Dancer is the pick of the remainder having finished a place ahead of Regent's Stroll in the Jack Richards last time.

Lots to consider but this can be fought out by Wendigo and SALVER, with the Moores' 6yo getting the nod after his Cheltenham third.

Minor ability on debut in 2023; back from lengthy absence for new trainer; market check..

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

DARTMOUTH CASTLE has improved with each run over hurdles, most notably when runner-up last time at Newcastle. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for Donald McCain's gelding to get off the mark in this sphere, having won a bumper here last May. Wendywilldo returns from just over a year off the track and has to be respected along with Whenthemusicstops.

This looks a great opportunity for DARTMOUTH CASTLE to break his duck, at a track we already know he handles.

CLONQUEST took a big step forwards from his debut when second over 7f at Newcastle earlier in the year. Any further progress could see the son of Ulysses get off the mark here. Simba's Pride showed promise when fourth over 5f here on his racecourse bow last May and he should not be underestimated on his return, while Arc At Her is a newcomer to note.

A modest maiden that can go to CLONQUEST who has shaped with considerable promise in both his visits to Newcastle.

A case can be made that SOBER GLORY was unlucky not to win the Supreme last month, given that he made a mistake at the last and was hampered on the run in. As a result, the six-year-old is very hard to oppose in this company on the back of that top-class performance. A couple of places behind the selection that day was Baron Noir, and he could prove to be the main threat. Sinnatra was not disgraced when fifth in the County off a mark of 133 but that suggests that he will need to improve to beat the aforementioned pair.

Top rated in this year's Top is front-running powerhouse SOBER GLORY who is taken to confirm previous placings with Baron Noir.

CHEMISTRY was a smart performer on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien and the five-year-old may enjoy the switch to this new discipline. If translating any of that ability, he is likely to prove a warm order. Rebel Tribesman was beaten on his hurdling bow over C&D and is likely to have benefited from that experience. The rest have plenty to prove, but Kuredu King appeals most after a wind operation.

If CHEMISTRY can translate his Flat racing ability to this sphere, then he could take all the beating.

It is hard to oppose BEARISH, who was fourth in what looked to be a decent novice at Newmarket on his debut last October. With the prospect of plenty of improvement to come, Ed Dunlop's colt is very hard to oppose. Tough Date's recent Southwell third suggests that he could be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Inferno and Supreme Lillia.

This looks an excellent opportunity for BEARISH to build on last autumn's significant debut promise.

The absence of Jonbon, who won the last two renewals, has made HEART WOOD's task that much easier. Henry De Bromhead's charge beat the former in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham in comprehensive fashion, leaving the strong impression there was still more to come from the eight-year-old this season. Grey Dawning is fitted with cheekpieces after fading out of contention in the closing stages of last month's Gold Cup. He could bounce back over this shorter trip and is preferred to stablemate L'eau Du Sud, while Gidleigh Park can be given a shout on his excellent second in the Manifesto over C&D last year.

Heart Wood and Grey Dawning are leading players but SOLNESS and Gidleigh Park arrive fresher and are preferred.

JONGLEUR D'ETOILES is 2lb well in after being reassessed following a close second at Doncaster most recently and Neil Mulholland's gelding makes plenty of appeal in his attempt to go one better. The veteran Goodoldbill competes from 2lb out of the handicap, but he does arrive on the back of consecutive wins, while stepping back up in trip can aid the cause of Defence Witness.

The suggestion is MOBILE MAMMA, who is well treated on last season's win and could be better for her recent return.

Jack Kennedy could have ridden an outsider in the Topham at Aintree, but goes instead to Wexford for five rides and DUNLEER CRYSTAL is one of his best chances on the card. Placed in his first two starts over hurdles, the five-year-old steps up in trip and his half-brother was a winner over this distance. Ifallgoeswell has a lot of experience and makes a quick reappearance after a creditable run in a Cork handicap, but has to give 8lb to the less-exposed selection. All Night Revival is closely matched with Ifallgoeswell on their running at Gowran in January, while hurdling debutant The First Turn beat a useful mare when winning a good-ground bumper in October.

Ifallgoeswell is respected back in maiden company but he has to concede 8lb to DUNLEER CRYSTAL who is rated just 2lb lower

Several arrive from the all-weather with a fighting chance. That includes TRAVIS, who will likely be sharper for last month's encouraging second at Newcastle, and is only 3lb higher than when scoring at this venue last summer. The recent winner at Newcastle, Jamaican Storm is one to consider if holding his form back on this surface, while Volto Di Medusa finished a close third at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start and can race off an unchanged mark.

The suggestion is VOLTO DI MEDUSA who shaped quite well in two AW starts last month and is equally as effective on turf.

1	10 1st (10) (9/1 -6%) Will The Wise	9 9/1(-6%)	(10) Will The Wise 9/1, Returned to form down in trip in first time tongue tie when second beaten 7 1/2l in Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest; effective 2m2f-3m, acts on yielding and heavy; in form over fences but mark looks stiff enough. Best of the rest behind Madara in the Plate at Cheltenham and open to further improvement.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +45%) Ile Atlantique	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(4) Ile Atlantique 11/2, Yard won this last year; mistakes, struggled off big weight when well beaten in Leopardstown Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Leopardstown latest; enjoys making it; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by give; jumping an issue, talented but inconsistent. Inconsistent but represents Mullins/Townend and he followed Heart Wood home two starts ago.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 +36%) Madara	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(7) Madara 7/2, Landing a Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase by 7 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Cheltenham last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft but suited by sound surface; back in form, but revised mark demands more. Easily won the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival last month and 10lb rise may not stop him.
4	3 4th (3) (17/2 +15%) Gentleman De Mee	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(3) Gentleman De Mee 17/2, Winner of two G1s; won this last year off 3lb lower; not knocked about in Grade 2 at Thurles last time; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; often struggles on winter ground, likely to bounce back in better conditions. Below best this season but same story last term prior to him winning this race.
5th	29 5th (29) (100/1 -52%) Indiana Jones	100 100/1(-52%)	(29) Indiana Jones 100/1, Needed run when down the field in QuinnBet Handicap Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown most recent; effective 2m; out of form and stamina concerns once again. Grade 3 novice chase win in March 2023 but nowhere near that level in last two seasons.
6th	19 6th (19) (16/1 +20%) Mahons Glory	16 16/1(+20%)	(19) Mahons Glory 16/1, Improved down in grade suited by positive ride down in trip at sharp track landing a handicap by 12l off a 6lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time; ran well in Grand Sefton over this C&D earlier in year; enjoys making it; effective 2m4f-2m6f; in form, likes to dominate. 10yo who has a career-high mark, but this front-runner appears to relish these fences.
7th	17 7th (17) (28/1 0%) O'moore Park	28 28/1(0%)	(17) O'moore Park 28/1, Yard won this last year; ultimately comfortably held in Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase at Cheltenham last time where let down by mistakes at key stage; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m, acts on any but probably best on decent ground; inconsistent but longer trip a plus and fairly treated on spring form; interesting. 0-11 over fences; 6th of 23 in the Plate; represents Willie Mullins, so not discounted.
8th	8 8th (8) (18/1 -50%) Boombawn	18 18/1(-50%)	(8) Boombawn 18/1, Never threatened when down the field in Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase at Cheltenham most recent; trainer in form; usually held up; best at 2 1/2m on good; generally consistent but poor strike rate. Only ninth in the Plate at Cheltenham but likes Aintree and he's on a dangerous mark.
9th	20 9th (20) (22/1 -57%) Lisnamult Lad	22 22/1(-57%)	(20) Lisnamult Lad 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Leopardstown latest where went too fast; enjoys making it; returning from a break; effective 2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; inconsistent. Well below best on both runs this season but runner-up in this last year; on the shortlist.
12	12 \|B\| (12) (20/1 +50%) Soul Icon	20 20/1(+50%)	(12) Soul Icon 20/1, Didn't stay but ran well to a point beaten 7l in Ladbrokes Trophy Handicap Chase at Kempton last time; enjoys making it; effective 2-2 1/2m; consistent but frustrating, handicapper is relenting but stamina gave way in this last year. Ninth in this last year, beaten nearly 20l, and he's just 3lb lower this time around.
28	28 \|B\| (28) (22/1 +12%) Primoz	22 22/1(+12%)	(28) Primoz 22/1, Did it comfortably, improved landing a handicap by 13l off a 10lb lower mark at Ayr last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; form in and out and needs more off this mark. Easy win in small field at Ayr last month; from out of the handicap he's 12lb higher today.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (40/1 +0%) Hitman	40 40/1(+0%)	(5) Hitman 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Ascot latest where went too fast; off a short-break; best at around 2 1/2m; remain well treated on old form but tricky to win with, unreliable and often finishes weakly. Hasn't shone on last two starts but on handy mark; good record over regulation fences here.
27	27 \|F\| (27) (50/1 +0%) The King Of Prs	50 50/1(+0%)	(27) The King Of Prs 50/1, Didn't stay in strongly run race when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park latest; off a short-break; best at 2m, suited by cut; unreliable and failed to stay in this last year. Near 19l eighth in this last year, when 4lb higher than today; he's struggled this season.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (66/1 +0%) Eldorado Allen	66 66/1(+0%)	(9) Eldorado Allen 66/1, Made too much use of up in trip and outstayed when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap chase at Newbury latest; effective 2 1/2m, barely gets 3m; looks level nowadays and mark high enough. Won a veterans' chase at Cheltenham in November but highly likely this 12yo is vulnerable.
10th	21 10th (21) (33/1 +18%) Peaky Boy	33 33/1(+18%)	(21) Peaky Boy 33/1, Jumped poorly in first time cheekpieces when down the field in Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase at Cheltenham most recent; tongue-tie first time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on any; unexposed but mark demands more. Could improve for last month's run in the Plate but others have more compelling claims.
11th	30 11th (30) (28/1 -12%) Excello	28 28/1(-12%)	(30) Excello 28/1, Travelled well to a point, didn't stay when down the field in a handicap chase at Cheltenham most recent over 3m2f; ran well in this last year until race ending error; effective 2 1/2m, acts on decent ground; in form until latest, well treated on French efforts, another try at Topham well worth a go even from out of weights. Third of 17 in the Grand Sefton over C&D in November and he holds each-way possibilities.
12th	11 12th (11) (25/1 +24%) Addragoole	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Addragoole 25/1, Made too much use of when down the field in Grand Annual Challenge Cup at Cheltenham most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m, best form with cut; progressing over fences but big stamina worries here. Ninth in the Grand Annual but Cheltenham may not be his track; only a 7yo; could go well.
13th	18 13th (18) (11/1 +31%) Booster Bob	11 11/1(+31%)	(18) Booster Bob 11/1, Fell in Sun Racing Plate Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest when booked for about fifth; effective 2-2 3/4m, acts on heavy, good to soft; generally progressive but could get behind early which is a worry here. 2 wins last year and running well when falling at final fence in the Plate; each-way shout.
14th	16 14th (16) (50/1 +38%) Conflated	50 50/1(+38%)	(16) Conflated 50/1, Winner of two G1s; didn't stay when down the field in a handicap chase at Cheltenham most recent; effective 3m, acts with cut; former Grade 1 winner, on long losing run and struggling of late. 3rd in 2023 Gold Cup; nothing like the force of old & this 12yo is probably up against it.
15th	24 15th (24) (80/1 -100%) Pour Les Filles	80 80/1(-100%)	(24) Pour Les Filles 80/1, Taken on up front and did too much too soon when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ayr last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on yielding and soft; inconsistent for new yard. Hard to fancy on the face of it but yard has excellent record in this race over the years.
16th	13 16th (13) (25/1 -79%) Coming Up Easy	25 25/1(-79%)	(13) Coming Up Easy 25/1, Pulled up in Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest where all but fell early and eased; enjoys making it; returning from a break; effective 2-2 1/2m; progressing as trip increases until latest, may even get bit further than 2 1/2m; not ruled out back from break. Mistakes costly when pulled up at Cheltenham last November; 3-3 in h'cap chases previously.
17th	14 17th (14) (10/1 +70%) Viroflay	10 10/1(+70%)	(14) Viroflay 10/1, Beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, needs decent ground; fair mark on hunter chase form, in form but vulnerable in this class. Front-runner who has done well in h'caps this season; could prove well suited by this test.
18th	6 18th (6) (25/1 +11%) Croke Park	25 25/1(+11%)	(6) Croke Park 25/1, Winner of two G1s; made too much use of when down the field in Leopardstown Handicap Chase (Grade 3) at Leopardstown most recent; effective 2 1/2-3m, best on decent ground; running well but yet to match novice form when a Grade 1 winner, that possibly flatters a little. Hasn't kicked on this term but can go well if tapping back into last season's promise.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (18/1 +0%) Il Est Francais	18 18/1(+0%)	(1) Il Est Francais 18/1, Winner of two G1s; pulled up in King George VI Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton latest; went close in that contest in 2024; returning from a break; effective 2 1/2m, barely gets 3m; erratic, classy on his day and bold jumping could suit this track but has bled on multiple occasions. 2024 King George runner-up; wind op since last time but pulled up on his last two starts.
23	23 \|PU\| (23) (18/1 +64%) Teddy Blue	18 18/1(+64%)	(23) Teddy Blue 18/1, Rallied gamely, improved down in class up in trip at favoured venue proving stamina landing a Handicap Chase by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time; suited by 2m on a sound surface, just about gets sharp 2m4f; not straightforward and stamina concerns here. Reluctant to line up at Kempton but it didn't stop him winning, making it 4-10 over fences.
22	22 \|PU\| (22) (20/1 +20%) Bill Baxter	20 20/1(+20%)	(22) Bill Baxter 20/1, Returned to form back up in trip behind progressive rival when second beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap chase at Kelso latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m; in fair form, 3lb higher than when taking this in 2023, latest form franked at Cheltenham. Won this in 2023 and bumped into a well-treated novice at Kelso latest; could be involved.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (33/1 +0%) Matata	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Matata 33/1, Landed a Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase by 9 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Cheltenham three starts back; effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on any; back in form until latest, bold jumper but needs drop in trip. Easy win at Cheltenham in January; mark perhaps not beyond him but return to form needed.

Gentleman De Mee won the corresponding race last year when beating the runner-up Lisnamult Lad less than a length. Willie Mullins' charge will likely launch another bold bid and makes more appeal than stable companion Ile Atlantique. Madara could also have a say in proceedings off the back of justifying favouritism at Cheltenham last month with WILL THE WISE back in second. However, that was the latter's first start since December and, reopposing on more favourable terms, Gavin Cromwell's improving seven-year-old is taken to turn the tables. This quicker ground should suit Boombawn, while we may not have seen the best of the progressive chasers Coming Up Easy and Prairie Wolf just yet.

An attractive mark and a good record over the regulation fences at Aintree are positives for BOOMBAWN. Gentleman De Mee is feared.

1	3 1st (3) (2/1 -23%) Dillarchie	2 2/1(-23%)	(3) Dillarchie 2/1, Still well treated on old form, ran to form up in trip landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark here last time; effective 3m+, acts on good to soft; back in form, still on workable mark. Repelled Wee Alki here three weeks ago and now has form figures of 1431 over C&D.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +0%) Wee Alki	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Wee Alki 3/1, Returned to form back on better ground under positive ride beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark here last time; suited by 3m, acts on good to soft, good; back on last winning mark, remain competitive with easy lead possible. Back on favoured good ground he pushed Dillarchie all the way here 22 days ago.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 +13%) Moro Rock	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(6) Moro Rock 13/2, Every chance, ran to form beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time; effective 3m on good; inconsistent but could revive back up in distance. Has won over a similar trip off a similar mark and could return refreshed after a break.
4	4 4th (4) (5/2 +44%) Star Vantage	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(4) Star Vantage 5/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form but finished weakly when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh latest; effective up to 3m, acts on soft and good; consistent but frustrating maiden. Not beaten all that far at Musselburgh last month but that extended his losing run to 32.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (8/1 +64%) Celestial Reign	8 8/1(+64%)	(1) Celestial Reign 8/1, May not have stayed down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby most recent; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on sound surface; fair mark on spring form, must bounce back and big stamina concerns. Three modest runs in handicaps since returning from a break and has stamina to prove.

DILLARCHIE had Wee Alki a length in arrears over C&D last month and might take some beating in pursuit of her hat-trick, especially when noting that she is only 1lb worse off with the latter. East Eagle arrives on the back of a Catterick second but was also defeated by the selection on his penultimate start, so class-dropper Star Vantage might be a bigger threat.

Compiling a solid record over C&D, DILLARCHIE can confirm recent placings with Wee Alki and bring up her hat-trick.

Promise here on debut, fine run at Leopardstown latest, leading chance for local yard.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/10 +0%) Captains Speech	1.1 11/10(+0%)	(2) Captains Speech 11/10, Excellent effort on rules debut when second beaten 1 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest; effective 21/2m, stayed 3m in points, acts on heavy and yielding; useful prospect.

Promise in first two bumpers inc' here, ground will suit for hurdles debut; reserve.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -13%) Imarajan	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Imarajan 18/1, Ran to form 4l third in a handicap at The Curragh most recent run; probably effective 2m on heavy; in form on the Flat and open to improvement. Dual-purpose maiden, okay runs in both maiden hurdles, needs more on stable debut.
5th	10 5th (10) (200/1 -100%) Sam's Favourite	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) Sam's Favourite 200/1, No worthwhile form; usually held up; yet to show any sign of ability in three hurdle starts and has looked quirky. Miles behind Captains Speech on sole completed start at Cork, look elsewhere.
6th	3 6th (3) (150/1 -50%) Cornaroya Rocco	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Cornaroya Rocco 150/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; returning from a break; can only be watched. Tailed off in a bumper, pulled up in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle, put a line through.
7th	4 7th (4) (100/1 +33%) Davitts Quay	100 100/1(+33%)	(4) Davitts Quay 100/1, Poor effort well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel only start; yet to show any sign of ability. 150-1 and never sighted on debut at Clonmel, may need more time.
8th	13 8th (13) (150/1 -50%) Nebraska Brave	150 150/1(-50%)	(13) Nebraska Brave 150/1, Poor effort down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; hood first time; yet to show any sign of ability. No impact at huge prices in three maiden hurdles, hood now reached for.

CAPTAINS SPEECH won a point-to-point at this time of year in 2024 and was then absent until last month when a well-supported second on hurdling debut over this trip at Cork. The El Salvador gelding had a 120-rated rival back in third and the fourth won last time. As long as the ground doesn't dry out too much, he can take this for Henry de Bromhead. Le Moulin Rouge was placed here in the autumn and proved himself over this distance when second at Leopardstown over Christmas, where he finished in front of the selection's Cork conqueror. Green Angel has run two solid races over hurdles and may improve for this sounder surface.

LE MOULIN ROUGE (nap) is preferred. He has placed course form in the book and holds Captains Speech on line through Royal Gladiator

Most progressive at 7f, including Listed second last autumn; sharper for recent 6f return.
2	6 2nd (6) (15/8 -36%) Poet Master	1.875 15/8(-36%)	(6) Poet Master 15/8, Ran well upped in class when second beaten 2 1/4l in Challenge Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket latest; 1/2l second in Group 3 at Longchamp time before; the pick on balance of form; one to beat. Group 2 winner; second at that level on final 5yo start; goes well fresh; leading claims.
3	8 3rd (8) (12/1 -41%) Seacruiser	12 12/1(-41%)	(8) Seacruiser 12/1, Came clear with second, poor conditions, but looked very useful at least when winning a maiden at Newmarket by 1 1/4l last seen in September 24; absent for very lengthy period; not ruled out on return for top trainer/jockey combination. Made all in 1m Newmarket maiden in September 2024 but hasn't been seen since.

Hasn't beaten a rival in the last two runnings of this and surely up against it.

Second in this in 2023 and 2025; once again arrives after a 7f Kempton win; should go well.

Useful C&D winner but has plenty to finds on these terms.
8th	7 8th (7) (2/1 +67%) Scoville	2 2/1(+67%)	(7) Scoville 2/1, Outclassed when fourth beaten 8l in Challenge Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket latest; probably stay 10f, action suggests will handle give; one to consider at a price. Behind Poet Master final run but promise of 14l novice win still fresh in memory; gelded.

MOUNT ATHOS could prove the safest proposition in a competitive affair. James Doyle is a remarkable six from six when teaming up with last month's Kempton winner and keeps the winning partnership intact. The runner-up in Group 2 company at Newmarket in October, Poet Master comes out best at the weights. He could have a say in the outcome on his reappearance, while Scoville and Elarak also return to the fray with a shout on these terms.

Group 2 winner POET MASTER sets a good standard and is the one to beat but the opposition is strong enough to keep him honest.

Albert Bartlett winner; this flatter, sharper course could ask different questions of him.

Never came up the hill in the Albert Bartlett but ran well for a long way at 22-1.

Has looked promising in winning his two novices and held in high regard at his top yard.

Has made rapid progress but this might be a step too far, especially with stamina to prove.

Jamie Snowden lifted this prize 12 months ago and could do so once more courtesy of JOHNNY'S JURY, who propelled himself to the forefront of the staying novice division by landing the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at last month's Festival. His jumping has been a real asset so far and with more to come over this sort of trip, he is worth keeping onside. Things conspired against No Drama This End in the Turners' but it would be unwise to dismiss him, as it would with Dalston Lad, who steps up in grade having romped home in a Grade 2 at Haydock. Mondoui'boy weakened into fourth behind the selection last time but might be seen to greater effect on this flatter track, while Zeus Power heads the challenge for the away side.

On this sharper track, MONDOUI'BOY can reverse Albert Bartlett placings with Johnny's Jury. Others have chances in a deep renewal.

KING SACRE couldn't lay a glove on Klitschko over C&D on his handicap bow last time out, but that was still a big step forward on what he'd shown previously. This is no penalty kick for Nigel Hawke's charge but he should still have more in the locker, and an ease in grade will do his chances no harm either. Clean Getaway is better known for his chasing exploits, as evidenced here recently, though he is still a player, as is Blackwater Lilly, who built on a promising Flat effort to hit the frame over track and trip earlier in the month.

An interesting contest in which preference is for the in-form course specialist CLEAN GETAWAY (nap) on his switch back from chasing.

Tadej and Ten Carat Harry are the only two with a run under their belts this term but despite that fitness edge, a chance can be taken on LADY KODIAC. Official ratings leave James Tate's filly with a bit to find but she's two from two on the all-weather, albeit on Polytrack, and looks the type to progress even further as a three-year-old. Anthelia was a precocious juvenile and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of her, as it will with Comical Point, who came up short in Pattern class after winning on his debut at Salisbury.

Impossible to rule any of these out but the vote goes to bang-in-form TEN CARAT HARRY, who already has a C&D win to his name.

SEAN MC was below par over further last time but had previously been second twice over this sort of trip when strongly supported. His six-time winning half-brother relished good ground and Paul Nolan's runner is taken to get off the mark at his local track. Teenage Kiss was placed over course and distance last summer and comes here in form, while Accustomed improved for the application of headgear when second in a big field at Down Royal and now has Jack Kennedy's assistance. Cowper Hall has a lot of weight, but was a facile winner of his most recent start in this discipline.

The form of the Down Royal race in which ACCUSTOMED was second has since been boosted and he can go one better here

PRIDE OF DONEGAL has improved for the fitting of a visor and landed a brace at Wolverhampton with last week's convincing success. The son of Saxon Warrior is 3lb well in, despite his 5lb penalty, and another bold bid from the front is anticipated. Asmen Warrior went close in handicaps on a couple of occasions last season. The four-year-old will likely prove stronger this year and looks on a fair mark, while Gibside makes most appeal of the remainder.

This will be his first start on grass but PRIDE OF DONEGAL (nap) still appeals most given the sudden improvement he's found for a visor.

Blixen Force's absence means Belle Island is now Robson De Aguiar's sole representative and there was enough to like about her C&D second. The bar isn't set too high, though, and there are some interesting newcomers in opposition. Chief among them is the impeccably-bred New Yorker, who was pulled out of his intended debut at the Curragh due to testing ground. He is sure to have his supporters, but Paddy Twomey already has a juvenile win on the board in 2026 so his 160,000gns purchase LITMUS TEST might be forward enough to follow suit.

Ballydoyle newcomer NEW YORKER is out of a Cheveley Park winner and he can prove too sharp for Litmus Test.

Best hurdle form at around 2m5f, so this shorter trip is not sure to suit after his break.

No promise in 2m5f handicaps since joining Dan Skelton, so others are more obvious.

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

SHERMINATOR has been foot perfect over hurdles either side of a Cheltenham mishap, bolting up at Exeter most recently, and is the pick in this concluding contest. Harry Fry's gelding is progressing at a rate of knots and a subsequent 7lb rise does not look insurmountable, especially given his ability to handle all sorts of ground. Dan Skelton won this last year so Bangor winner Harry Lowes merits respect with that in mind, as does Irish challenger Captain Ryan Matt. Fred Winter fourth Pourquoi Pas Papa looks to have a chance in receipt of the juvenile allowance and don't rule out Static at a big price, given that he was tenacious in completing a double at Bangor last time out.

Dan Skelton's Harry Lowes and The Mighty Celt (second choice) make plenty of appeal but preference is for POURQUOI PAS PAPA.

LTO Selection:

Not much of a standard set by those with experience and preference is for THAMES WATERMAN with that in mind. Richard Hughes' colt is a full-brother to Rajaking, who won his only juvenile start, and looks capable of going close from a handy berth. Quantum Swift is likely to prove popular given the stable he represents, as might Everatease, who hails from the second crop of A'Ali.

The market should provide plenty of clues but the initial suggestion is EVERATEASE.

Prolific pointer, won last three on testing ground, not sure sounder surface will suit.

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

WALKS THE TALK stays this far and will enjoy getting back on a sound surface. John McConnell's mare won her first two starts over hurdles on decent ground in the autumn and chased home a progressive Paul Nicholls-trained gelding on her penultimate outing at Musselburgh. The youngest in the line-up, Agameoftwohalves won a maiden over 2m3f at Punchestown and it will be a surprise if this trip proves beyond him. Drying ground is a concern for Rocky's Howya who comes into this on a roll, while Long Branch is a dour stayer but may be on a high enough mark now.

There are no ground concerns for WALKS THE TALK who can bounce back from a below par run on heavy in a Gowran Grade 3 last time out

Richard & Peter Fahey have been amongst the winners of late and they look to have a cracking chance with MWAFAQ in this contest. Although yet to win on turf, the four-year-old signed off last season with two comfortable victories at Wolverhampton and there should be plenty more to come from him. Orbital Chime just failed to last home over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last Saturday and is an obvious danger cutting back in trip, while Good Karma cannot be ruled out either.

Wide open. The suggestion is GOOD KARMA who can be keen in his races but the chances are he'll get some cover from stall 4.

WINEMAKER can record a fourth win at this track. A versatile gelding, who has won at a variety of trips, the six-year-old showed up well in first-time cheekpieces when third here recently. Dropping back in trip and, from a slightly more favourable draw, the Declan McGuigan-trained runner should be hard to beat. Having scored on his last two starts over 5f, An Laochmor has to be respected in his hat-trick bid. However, he does have to prove that he is equally as effective over an additional furlong and was behind Winemaker on more favourable terms here in January. Hot To Foxtrot showed a bit more here last time but may be better over a longer distance.

An Laochmor has to go on the shortlist but might struggle to reverse the form of a previous clash with WINEMAKER (nap).

Ed Bethell has started the new season firing on all cylinders and it might take a useful performance to overhaul his representative CAIM. An impressive winner on her debut at Beverley before taking home the silver medal in a Listed contest at Newbury, she promises to be suited by longer trips this term and can rubber-stamp her Group-race credentials with victory here. Recent C&D winner Estissa is the obvious threat and while the others will need to find significant progress, Royal Poetry might be the pick of them.

Two promising fillies are in opposition but ESTISSA is selected to make it 2-2 for the year.

Pulled up at Fairyhouse on Saturday; quicker ground will need to bring lots of improvement.

Recent handicap debut leaves him with lots to find but better ground should suit.

Four of these sport the green and gold silks of JP McManus and THREE IN A ROW is chosen in the hope that he'll be suited by drying ground. It's surprising that he hasn't yet got his head in front over fences, but he couldn't have gone much closer at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and he was placed twice on decent ground this time last year. This is his optimum trip. Other McManus-owned runners with chances are Park Of Kings, who is potentially well handicapped in this sphere, and Harty Cup, who has been in good form over hurdles.

Clear of the remainder when unseating when holding every chance at Limerick, JAMES THE BRAVE appeals here off just a 2lb higher mark

Yorkshire Glory, recently crowned All-weather Horse Of The Year, has had an phenomenal season and warrants plenty of respect as he bids to make it sevens wins in a row, but he looked all out at Newcastle last time and has yet to score on turf. Narrow preference is for JUAN LES PINS, who has also been in cracking form and outran double-figure odds when a length second at Doncaster last time. He remains well treated on his best form and should mount a bold bid. The returning Mark's Choice completes the shortlist.

The vote goes to LORD ABAMA whose three turf wins have all come over C&D and who has won first time out before.

A half-sister to Group 1 winner Babouche, all eyes will be on the Ger Lyons-trained newcomer HINDER. With the ground riding slow on turf at the moment, Lyons has elected to introduce the well-bred daughter of Expert Eye here on the all-weather. While she will certainly need to be a bit above average to strike on debut, this looks a winnable race at the same time. Allsortz sets a decent standard among those that have already run. Keen throughout when second over course and distance last time, the David Marnane-trained gelding did well in the circumstances. Real Encounter shaped well enough on two previous starts to suggest that she can also make her presence felt.

Newcomer HINDER is a half-sister to the trainer's 2024 Phoenix Stakes winner Babouche and should be capable of a debut win.

Supreme King landed a hat-trick at the turn of the year and remains of interest. He placed at Chelmsford recently and should be in the thick of it once again, but PAPA COCKTAIL is marginally preferred. The latter scored over C&D in January and, having faced a tougher test here last time, Michael Herrington's sprinter looks worthy of another chance. An Outlaw's Grace is no forlorn hope returning to 6f and is preferred to Lazzar.

This is trappy and all outcomes are on the table, with the vote for HUNKY DORY just a tentative one.

A very good turnout for this veterans' contest and cases can be made for plenty of these stalwarts. Drying underfoot conditions will suit THE BANGER DOYLE, who was in good heart last summer and warmed up for this with a hurdles outing in February. Dont Go Yet and Krabat were placed in last year's renewal and both come here on the back of a win, while Caesar Rock ran well when second to Krabat at Limerick.

It may pay to side with last year's runner-up DON'T GO YET who comes here in proven form after a hurdles win last month

An all-the-way winner over course and distance last month, METHGAL can follow up. Finding plenty when pressed over a furlong out, the Pat Murphy-trained gelding kept on strongly to prevail by half a length. Value for a bit more than that margin, a subsequent 4lb rise seemed fair. Drawn wide again on this occasion, jockey Conor Cusack is likely to adopt similar forcing tactics on the four-year-old. Ferrari Desert hasn't been at her best in recent starts but returning to the all-weather could easily see the Mark Fahey-trained mare in a better light. Macadam's Rock has been somewhat disappointing of late but is seriously well handicapped on the best of his form.

In the money in all four 6f runs at this venue, ROYAL COUNTY GLORY may find enough improvement to open his account.

Everest came out just the best in a scrap to the line with Beaune in a classified contest at Lingfield. That pair look hard to separate once again, but the MOON OVER THE SEA is taken to edge affairs back at this venue. The latter bounced back with a placed effort in handicap company at Southwell recently and, allowed to race off an unchanged mark, Tony Carroll's charge is taken to add to his five previous victories at the track.

The market may play a part here but 7yo mare EVEREST was off the mark last time and might turn into a leftfield improver.

Dermot McLoughlin had a quiet time over the winter, but Barry Lyndon ran well for him at Fairyhouse last weekend and both of his runners in this have shown a liking for Wexford. FINNIANS ROW won off this mark here last summer and his comeback run on soft ground last month will have served it's purpose. Malton Groove is a long-standing maiden and lacks a recent outing, but he was touched off in last year's renewal and is now 6lb lower. Chase debutant Rajjnatin is noted too.

Recent C&D scorer CONNEMARA SHORE looks to have got off relatively lightly with a 7lb rise and can double up

Runner-up on debut when sent off a well backed favourite here last month, COUNTY CARLOW can go one better. A son of Saxon Warrior, the Paddy Twomey-trained three-year-old showed signs of greenness before running on nicely to take minor honours. With the benefit of that experience and stepping up an extra furlong, he should be hard to beat on this occasion. Just touched off on his introduction over course and distance in November, Grand Premiere also holds leading claims. With the winner of that race well regarded by connections, he may have been unlucky to bump into an above-average rival. Twice-raced colt Kalir should also be competitive in what has the potential to be a decent race.

With the benefit of a promising recent run behind him and seemingly well regarded, COUNTY CARLOW can go one better.

Plenty arrive with claims, but it could be DAYMAN's turn to get his head back in front. The son of Oasis Dream was caught close home when runner-up over C&D last time and is taken to gone one better and end a long losing run. Romanovich just got the better of Bad Habits here last time and that pair are closely matched, while Fistral Beach has won two of her last three starts and is not out of this either.

An open race in which the vote goes to DAYMAN who made a bold bid when a close second over C&D last month and is only 1lb higher here.

Successful over course and distance last month, CELTIC DRUID can make it back-to-back wins. Tom McCourt's five-year-old gelding was well on top at the finish and has to again hold strong claims off just 5lb higher. Sadhbh Tormey, who was in the saddle for that latest win, retains the ride and claims a valuable 7lb. Sarmiento Power landed a gamble at this track in September but has failed to add to that win in five subsequent starts. With plenty in his favour on this occasion, the Matthew Smith-trained gelding looks one of the more likely winners. Jawhary is another former course and distance winner with every chance.

The old boy MEPHISTO returns to the AW off a favourable mark and he did win three times over hurdles last year.

6	6 (6) (13/2 +13%) Dublin Bay	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(6) Dublin Bay 13/2, Decent run off the front on reappearance beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 6f at 2yo, stays 7f, acts on a sound surface; consistent and fair mark.

DELUDED is clearly well thought of by trainer Charlie Fellowes, having twice contested valuable races at York, and a mark of 74 does not look beyond him. Gelded since last sighted, and entering handicap company for the first time, he is expected to run a big race on return. Calling A Star made all to win her maiden over 6f here in February and has a definite chance moving back up in trip, while Newcastle scorer Tactical Blitz also warrants respect.

It's worth siding with ORANGE EMPEROR (nap) who had a near-miss on his handicap debut at Chelmsford and is on the same mark here.

1	1 (1) (11/10 +27%) Keepsgettingbetter	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(1) Keepsgettingbetter 11/10, Had hard race just out-staying second when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; trainer in form; effective 1m, bred to want further, acts on AW; honest sort and longer trip will suit. Responded well for pressure to win here over 1m on handicap debut; goes further.
2	2 (2) (11/4 -10%) Elm Creek	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(2) Elm Creek 11/4, Improved for cheekpieces and step-up to 10f when 7 1/2l third in a handicap at Navan most recent run; trainer in form; stays 10f, acts on heavy; may want a stiffer test ideally. Beaten about 7l into third on handicap debut but appears to have found his level.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +38%) Cameclose	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Cameclose 5/1, Well beaten in a maiden here latest; effective 7-8f; probably unexposed on handicap debut. Modest in maidens but by Camelot so longer trip could assist on handicap debut.
3	3 (3) (11/2 +15%) Musashi	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(3) Musashi 11/2, Last again but much closer beaten 9 1/4l in an maiden auction race here last time; visor first time; bred to need further than 1m but can only be watched for now. Desperate last season but has been gelded and visor fitted for this handicap debut.

Behind Keepsgettingbetter three weeks ago; has his work cut out to reverse those placings.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -100%) Sea Of Dubka	18 18/1(-100%)	(4) Sea Of Dubka 18/1, Probably needed run and bit better effort on figures when well beaten in a maiden at Naas latest; bred for middle-distances; yet to show any really reliable form. Now goes into handicaps for a respected yard; makes sense to let the betting guide.

Having needed every yard of the mile trip when scoring here last month, KEEPSGETTINGBETTER should appreciate stepping up in distance. A daughter of Sottsass, the Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly is bred to stay and, should have more improvement in her after just the four career starts. A stablemate of the selection, Elm Creek ran well when third over this trip on turf at Navan. Only weakening in the latter stages, the Australia colt might find this easier track more to his liking. Unplaced in three maiden runs over shorter, the Joseph O'Brien-trained Musashi is one that catches the eye in a first-time visor on his handicap debut.

The safe option is KEEPSGETTINGBETTER who dug deep for pressure to win here three weeks ago and she's now sent further.

THREE SOCKS ON stayed on strongly to force a dead-heat on his handicap debut over 1m at Chelmsford and, with the promise of more to come over this longer trip, he gets the vote to defy a 1lb rise. Always A Saint steadily edged closer to the target in each novice start last year and has since been gelded. He and Adba, who wears first-time cheekpieces, enter the handicap ranks off an opening mark of 60 and could be competitive.

This can go to THREE SOCKS ON who forced a dead-heat on his handicap debut at Chelmsford and is only 1lb higher on his return.

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.
