Won on Flat in Britain, second string for the trainer of Dawn Coming on third hurdles run.
5th	11 5th (11) (50/1 -127%) Saporetti		50 50/1(-127%)																															(11) Saporetti 50/1, Below form down the field in a handicap at Amiens most recent; returning from a break; all to do. Heavy-ground winner over 1m4f in France, could be a useful recruit to a small Galway yard.

LYNCHES KNOCK is already a winner having landed an academy hurdle and he has run well to be placed in two maiden hurdles since. The form of his third at Naas has been boosted, with the runner-up Dschingis Desire scoring subsequently, and he had Fred Winter winner Saratoga behind when runner-up at the Kildare venue previously. Dawn Coming bumped into a nice sort in Charme De Faust at Thurles, with the winner going on to run well to finish fourth in the Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. Genealogy was second to Fred Winter runner-up Winston Junior on his penultimate outing and is another who has to come into calculations.

With form linked to the Fred Winter winner Saratoga and to another recent scorer Dschingis Desire, LYNCHES KNOCK gets the vote

Enjoy D'allen made virtually every yard of the running to return to winning ways at Plumpton last month and he has to be respected for the in-form Neil King stable. Asa also got her head back in front when scoring at Catterick, but it's hard to get away from BALLIN BAY. Rebecca Menzies' gelding easily completed a double over the smaller obstacles here on his most recent start and can transfer that form to fences.

Preference is for BALLIN BAY, who has thrived over hurdles here of late and is taken to make a winning return to fences.

GRIS MAJEUR won over C&D in October before producing solid efforts in defeat over longer trips at Hereford and Taunton. Drying conditions will certainly suit the nine-year-old, who gets the vote at the expense of Batwomen. Neil Mulholland's mare is entitled to improve following a wind operation and would be a threat if repeating the level of her Cheltenham performance in December. Bond Broker appears best of the remainder.

The solid play looks to be GRIS MAJEUR, who can get the job done fresh and remains on a competitive mark.

Jack Kennedy is an eyecatching booking for ORLANDO SPIRIT. The Paul Power-trained gelding ran a big race on his handicap debut at Thurles when losing out by just a neck to Campbell Black. That was a significant improvement on his maiden form and, despite a 4lb hike, there looks to be a race of this standard in him. Wild Wild Wind has been knocking on the door and ran another solid race when runner-up at Limerick last month. She should be thereabouts again. Poets Oath found just one too strong at Punchestown and is another to consider.

Jack Kennedy is an eyecatching booking aboard ORLANDO SPIRIT, who can go one better than his runner-up finish at Thurles last month

Cosmic Soul went in by just over a length over 2m1f here recently and is sure to attract plenty of support, but the step up in trip poses question marks. With that in mind, DE DELI COUNTER gets the vote. Mark Walford's charge hit the woodwork over an extended 2m4f at Market Rasen in February and if running to that level of form again, he could prove tough to beat. Expelliarmus can't be ruled out either.

It's hard to look away from COSMIC SOUL, who escapes a penalty for last week's win here.

Maiden hurdle winner; refused both Flat starts when last seen in October; stable debut.

Fouroneohfever is yet to fulfil the promise shown on the level after being switched to hurdling at the start of the year, although an opening mark of 109 may underestimate Ben Pauling's charge. Three Pikes is likely to appreciate dropping back in trip on his return to action, but the vote goes to KNIGHTON. Having improved with each appearance against his own age group, it wouldn't be a surprise if the four-year-old made a successful handicap debut.

Three handicap newcomers temper confidence but GIFTED ANGEL can get back on the scoresheet.

Fair seventh in a 17-runner maiden over 2m1f at this venue, likely to need more experience.

Placed on all three previous starts over flights, SPECULATEUR can make the breakthrough. A point-to-point winner, the Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old came with a decent reputation and was sent off favourite on his first two runs over hurdles. Having shaped with promise once again at Clonmel last time, he can finally open his account. Bumper runner-up Royal Gladiator made a nice start to his timber career when fourth at Leopardstown over Christmas. He is entitled to have improved for that experience. Winner of his only point-to-point, the long-absent Captains Speech should be monitored in the betting on his Rules debut.

After finishing behind five Willie Mullins-trained horses in his last three races, SPECULATEUR faces a less difficult task now

Won here on rules debut; underwhelming at Newcastle since but not written off.

A King Of Magic got up in the final strides to get off the mark at Taunton last month and should mount a bold bid to follow up, but he might find it tough to give his penalty away to PASSING DIAMOND. Ben Haslam's six-year-old finished behind a subsequent winner and Willie Mullins' hot favourite when third at Carlisle and is likely to have more to offer. Buddah Castle is another to watch out for.

Preference is for DESERTMORE NEWS who was impressive on his hurdle debut at Southwell last month. A King Of Magic is the danger.

Well handicapped and encouraging third latest; big danger if he builds on that.

A small but competitive affair in which marginal preference is for UNCLE PHIL. A host of below-par efforts have seen Chester Williams' gelding tumble down the ratings, but there were signs of encouragement at Hereford last time. He's afforded an ease in class and, dropped another 2lb, he could take a step forward. Supreme George's winning run came to an end at Sedgefield, but he's more reliable than most. Tax For Max edges out Rumoursareflying to be next best.

Impossible to rule any of these out but RUMOURSAREFLYING defends a 1-1 record here and can come out best in a tight contest.

The locally-trained KOBALT ST GEORGES can gain a fourth win of the campaign. Twice successful over fences before Christmas, Robert Tyner's charge reverted to hurdles when scoring at Punchestown in January. Fourth in a Listed novice handicap chase on his latest start, the six-year-old has further scope for improvement now back over flights. Dameauscottlestown has shaped well enough in recent starts to suggest that she won't be far away. With the Gavin Cromwell horses back in decent form, she looks a major contender. Gowran Park second Onlymammycanloveme should also be capable of making his presence felt in what looks quite a competitive affair.

Handicap debutant LENI'S LAW went with plenty of zest in maidens and could be fairly treated sporting a hood

5	5 (5) (7/2 -87%) Dillarchie		3.5 7/2(-87%)																															(5) Dillarchie 7/2, Ran to form landing a handicap by a length off a 3lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 3m+, acts on good to soft; back in form, still on workable mark. Won at Catterick last month; she's gone up just 3lb and could be bang there once more.

Has been struggling but on testing ground; today's conditions are much more suitable.
6	6 (6) (17/2 +15%) Community Rebel		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(6) Community Rebel 17/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap hurdle at Catterick latest; trainer in form; effective 3m; in moderate form but hinted at better last time. 10yo who hasn't shown enough of late to suggest he's the one to be on today.
8	8 (8) (17/2 +74%) Fancy Nancy Pants		8.5 17/2(+74%)																															(8) Fancy Nancy Pants 17/2, Continued in poor form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Catterick last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good to soft; all to prove. 40-1 third of 16 at Wetherby in December but unable to reproduce that form; now 0-13.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +13%) Smart Bucks		14 14/1(+13%)																															(7) Smart Bucks 14/1, No obvious excuse well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Catterick latest; visor first time; effective at 3m; inconsistent; remains a maiden. 0-13 and tailed off on last two runs; however, the visor may help; not ruled out each-way.

DILLARCHIE was able to build on a couple of creditable efforts, including a C&D third, to score at Catterick last month. Joanne Foster's charge had race-favourite It's Maisy (fourth) well in arrears and a 4lb swing in the weights shouldn't be enough to see that form reversed. Scudamore continues to run well in defeat, though, and he is arguably the bigger threat.

The return to better ground could be a major positive for WEE ALKI, who runs off his last winning mark. Scudamore is second choice.

Alan King has been among the winners of late and he could gain further success courtesy of DON'T MIND IF I DO. A beaten favourite three times since scoring at Wincanton in December 2024, his pedigree suggests this longer trip will suit and an ease in grade is no bad thing either. Windsor Blue benefited from a drop in class to win over C&D. She merits respect but is in deeper this time around and it might be that Sunshine Diamond poses a bigger threat.

All bar one come with a recommendation but the vote goes to well-treated 11yo STONER'S CHOICE (nap), who contested a hot race last time.

Despite his relative inexperience, the Gordon Elliott-trained PUMA'S DREAM is taken to make a winning start to life in handicaps. Successful in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time, the form of that race has been nicely advertised subsequently. Although up against some established handicappers here, the five-year-old could be well treated, especially with his rider's claim. With the Henry de Bromhead stable now firing on all cylinders, Kir has to be a leading contender. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces, the six-year-old is likely to try to make all. Connections of He's Home Again reach for the same headgear and the C&D winner has to be respected.

Providing he has made normal progress from a recent Leopardstown run, HE'S HOME AGAIN (nap) should add to a 2024 course win

SIEGE OF ACRES wasn't the most fluent on his chasing bow at Musselburgh but Donald McCain's five-year-old ought to have learned plenty for that and is, perhaps crucially, open to further improvement than all of these. Veteran Valence D'Aumont drops in class having been well held at Newcastle latest and is considered, while Benefit Ben might do better back over the larger obstacles.

Course specialist TOM CREEN (nap) was pulled up last time but that was his first visit to Market Rasen and he's taken to bounce back.

GABORIOT didn't get past the fourth fence at Catterick having been sent off an odds-on favourite, but he can reward those who keep the faith. The 10-year-old managed to claim silver in the Grand Sefton as recently as November and if anywhere near that level, he's likely to take all the beating. Killer Clown holds the edge on these terms but he hasn't been seen under Rules for quite some time now, while similar comments apply to Galileo Silver. Guy is also noted.

It could be worth siding with MISSED TEE, who staged a revival at Stratford last week.

MACIVER is a five-time winner who is ideally suited by testing ground and this distance. The winner of four consecutive races last year, he has finished second on his last two hurdle starts and although his rating has now climbed to 96, his rider claims 7lb and he contests a winnable handicap. Dancing After Dark is a dual point-to-point winner who is also well suited by conditions. She ran satisfactorily at Punchestown last month and a reproduction should see her involved. Previous course winner Lep Around ran nicely over fences on a recent return from a break.

Still well enough treated relative to his superior chase form, MACIVER has a good opportunity to record a second handicap hurdle win

Most of these have a little to prove so it might be worth taking a chance on KING SACRE. Nigel Hawke's gelding displayed only moderate promise in bumpers/maiden hurdles, but he's related to a trio of winners, including the useful Emir Sacree, and could prove to be better than an opening mark of 100. Ground conditions might have counted against Lights Go Down at Ayr but he can't be underestimated, and nor can Telhimlisten, who was in good form when last seen over a year ago.

Last year's winner KLITSCHKO is 2lb lower this time around and ran an encouraging race in January on his last completed start.

Star Cast and Daring Leader are respected last-time-out winners. However, the former carries a 5lb penalty, while the latter has an absence to overcome. The consistent Dingwall is a potentially stronger candidate based on his peak all-weather form, although Wolverhampton seems to be his preferred venue and the stiffer nature of this course is yet to prove ideal. Therefore, the votes goes to GOLSPIE, who is a previous C&D winner that should appreciate cutting back in trip from a competitive rating.

With Liam Bailey having sent out four winners in just over a week, it might be worth chancing TORONTO RAPTOR to bounce back to form.

Willie Mullins' EMERALD ENIGMA makes a belated debut aged six but could be capable. By the same sire as Al Boum Photo, her dam won a bumper on debut and is closely related to the high-class Identity Thief, as well as two other smart performers. The Besty Woman has progressed with racing and although well held in two hurdle runs, she has bumped into some smart types and finished a place ahead of a subsequent winner when fourth at Naas in January. Fromjago'stomilan makes some appeal on breeding and is worth a look.

The tentative vote goes to WHIZZ BIZZ, a half-sister to the smart Indefatigable, who will be of serious interest if the money comes

ARGY BHAJI's two third-placed finishes at Kempton and Chelmsford set the standard and the recently-gelded three-year-old could be well placed to make a winning return from a break. Minnie Idol outran her odds of 50/1 when she filled the runner-up berth when introduced over C&D last month. That was a promising debut and she could have more to offer. Farandaway is the pick of the rest with experience, while Vega Storm is an interesting newcomer to bear in mind.

Provided her C&D effort is backed up, MINNIE IDOL looks the likeliest winner. Argy Bhaji is second pick.

FAST TRACK HARRY still has few miles on the clock and showed the benefit of a gelding operation during the off-season when making a successful comeback at Lingfield. He looks ready to take the next step this year and could even make up into a Pattern performer. Heavenly Heather is showing no signs of a busy winter campaign taking its toll and went close over the minimum trip here. This distance suits just as well and she is a big threat, while it won't be the biggest surprise if We Never Stop rediscovers some sparkle.

A useful sprint. There have been excuses for STRATUSNINE since his Wolverhampton success in December and he's given one more chance.

10	10 (10) (100/1 -257%) Maybe Soon		100 100/1(-257%)																															(10) Maybe Soon 100/1, Still green when asked to quicken and finished best when fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a maiden here latest; wide draw; effective at 6f, acts on AW; should improve again. Some promise when fourth in two 6f starts this year but the form is nothing special.
9	9 (9) (150/1 -200%) Eva The Deeva		150 150/1(-200%)																															(9) Eva The Deeva 150/1, Territories filly; half-sister to King Viktor, fair at 14f; dam very useful at 6f at 2yo; not easily fancied and may need this. This debutante is bred for further and is likely best watched this time.

INISHBEG certainly wasn't unbacked when only managing eighth in the Convivial on his introduction and produced a much better effort when second at Redcar next time. The son of Ghaiyyath cost 500,000gns as a yearling and might just start living up to that price tag in his three-year-old campaign. Infinite Dream has shown ability in both starts and is hard to ignore, especially with the current form of the Andrew Balding team. Any market support behind newcomer Always Perfect would be interesting.

There was a lot to like about INISHBEG's runner-up effort on his second start and he's the one to beat on his return to action.

Juan Les Pins bounced back to form when just being touched off over 6f at this track last week and provided the nine-year-old can back that performance up, he ought to have a say. Three-time course winner Blue Lakota is one to watch, but EMERALD HARMONY has to be of interest on her first appearance for Paul Midgley. The daughter of Soldier's Call won off this mark at Bellewstown almost a year ago and she looks the way to go.

A long losing run hardly makes JUAN LES PINS one to be lumping on but he's 2lb lower than when a close second here last week.

WOODRAFFF brings a consistent level of form to the table and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal with the change of headgear from blinkers to a first-time visor potentially yielding further improvement. Chris's Mate is capable of bouncing back from his latest effort when not appearing to stay a mile here. I Can Boogy and Esque Elegance can fight it out for the minor honours.

Although WOODRAFFF needs things to fall right, he's put in a string of good efforts in similar races lately and seems sure to go well.

TRUCIAL PEARL is 2lb well-in having gone close to getting off the mark when fitted with a visor for the first time at Chelmsford last week. If the headgear has a similar effect, Mick & David Easterby's filly may prove a tough nut to crack. What A Tahoo showed promise when fourth on her handicap debut over 6f here last month and the extra furlong appears likely to yield improvement. Container Express and Spartacus Warrior are others to consider.

If the visor works as well a second time, TRUCIAL PEARL (nap) can go one place better than at Chelmsford last week.

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.
