1	1 1st (1) (10/3 -21%) Blow Your Wad		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																																(1) Blow Your Wad 10/3, Improved up in trip but finished strongly once race was over as usual beaten 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark in the Ultima at Cheltenham last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; well treated on Graded novice form, consistent if a touch frustrating. Career-best efforts in defeat in strong handicaps the last twice, at 2m4f and 3m1f.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/4 +39%) Ben Solo		2.75 11/4(+39%)																																(5) Ben Solo 11/4, Pulled up in Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2) at Cheltenham latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; more chance now down in grade. Progressive here in this first season over fences; faced a tough task at Cheltenham.
3	4 3rd (4) (2/1 +33%) Knight Of Allen		2 2/1(+33%)																																(4) Knight Of Allen 2/1, Yard won this last year; pulled up in Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest; usually held up; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; progressing over fences until latest, mark could be fair still. Never gave his running in the Ultima; with trip/ground fine, he can go well here.
4	7 4th (7) (13/2 +35%) Jaipaletemps		6.5 13/2(+35%)																																(7) Jaipaletemps 13/2, Improved up in trip and down in grade landing a handicap by 4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by cut; progressive for new yard. Had a season to remember but off current mark and at this level, he'll need another PB.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +36%) Miralago		16 16/1(+36%)																																(8) Miralago 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Cheltenham latest; visor first time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by plenty of cut; highly tried in France, needs more. Five wins in France; solid start in Britain and latest blip was in a cross-country race.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 +0%) Torneo		8 8/1(+0%)																																(3) Torneo 8/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap chase at Kelso latest; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; consistent. May need to find improvement for this longer trip if he's to defy current mark.

Blow Your Wad has been running well of late, with a narrow defeat in the Greatwood Gold Cup followed by a fourth in the Ultima. A 4lb rise doesn't appear harsh, but whether he will be at his best after a relatively busy period remains to be seen. Soldierofthestorm has improved this season and got off the mark over fences at Sandown. He is respected off a 5lb higher mark, but BEN SOLO is preferred. The seven-year-old found the Jack Richards a step too far but the return to this level, along with the application of a tongue-tie, gives him strong credentials to bounce back.

A quality handicap. The suggestion is KNIGHT OF ALLEN (nap) who may well be happier than some on the drying ground.

Won over hurdles here in October; could have a part to play if taking to fences.

A case can be made on form as recent as November but she failed to shine in February.

Narrowly in front when falling two out at Sedgefield a fortnight ago; on the shortlist.

3	3 |PU| (3) (15/2 +38%) Poetry Man		7.5 15/2(+38%)																																(3) Poetry Man 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest where something amiss; effective 3m, acts on heavy and good; frontrunner had been progressing but jumping an issue, dangerous if allowed to dictate. Patchy record in chases and pulled up when reverting to fences here in February.
4	4 |PU| (4) (22/1 -120%) Gorvennec		22 22/1(-120%)																																(4) Gorvennec 22/1, Needed run well beaten in a novice hurdle here latest; second run after wind op; returning from a break; effective at 2m, acts on good; point winner may benefit from step up in trip and switch to fences. Tailed off in novice hurdle latest but this point winner now goes chasing for h'cap debut.
9	9 |PU| (9) (33/1 -175%) Park Rules		33 33/1(-175%)																																(9) Park Rules 33/1, Disappointing stable debut comfortably held in a handicap chase at Sedgefield last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2-2 1/2m; looks poor. One to watch in the market but there was no return to form on stable debut a fortnight ago.

Benefit Ben was still in front when hitting the deck two out at Sedgefield, but this comes soon enough and perhaps a safer option is NIGHTS IN VENICE. Donald Whillans' 10-year-old finally doubled his career tally when justifying favouritism at Ayr and remains on a handy rating, despite going up 4lb. Burgundy Man made the best possible start to his chasing career at Perth to end a long run of minor placings and he is an obvious threat if ready to roll.

Topweight BENEFIT BEN was narrowly in front when falling two out at Sedgefield recently and is taken to make amends today.

SO YOU KNOW has progressed well over hurdles and steps up in trip after finishing second on his handicap debut at Warwick. The five-year-old is entitled to improve for it in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Authentic Legacy may have benefited from his return over fences at Newbury and is capable of being in the mix, while others to consider include It's Top and Beau Quali.

A chance is taken on IT'S TOP bouncing back from his disappointing handicap debut as he had been looking promising beforehand.

GUET APENS was a useful stayer on the Flat in France and has taken well to hurdling judged on his victory at Carlisle last month. Now sent handicapping off what appears to be a lenient mark, the step up in trip poses no concerns for the six-year-old who could rack up a sequence. Dedicated Hero has had a mixed campaign but a recent wind operation might aid his cause, while Atlantic Lad is respected on his handicap debut.

Having been useful on the Flat in France, GUET APENS (nap) could well prove to be better than his opening hurdle mark.

Gordon Elliott holds the key to this contest and Jack Kennedy has gone for Maxxum but preference is for DEE CAPO, who has the best chase form in the race. The Maxios gelding won a decent handicap in November and his fourth in a valuable event at the Dublin Racing Festival was an even better effort. It would appear that Cheltenham is not his track, but this looks a good opportunity back on home soil. Maxxum has been a real money-spinner for the yard over hurdles. Successful on his chasing debut, he has failed to make an impact on his other two starts over fences. Look To The West, outclassed before falling on her reappearance at Fairyhouse, looks next best.

Though seemingly the Elliott second string, DEE CAPO has some solid recent chase form to fall back on and is preferred

THE ITALIAN FOX had plenty in hand when winning over C&D last week and is hard to ignore back here under a penalty. That was only his second start in a handicap and a repeat dose could suffice in this weaker-looking race. Groom De Cotte hasn't had much racing over the past year or so, although the 10-year-old showed plenty of zest when second at Huntingdon most recently. He has gone well fresh and cannot be ruled out. Home And Dry and Galassian are each-way alternatives.

Low-mileage 6yo THE ITALIAN FOX took a big step forward when winning by 14l over C&D a week ago and he can defy a penalty.

ALWAYS A REASON returned to form when runner-up in a series final here 12 days ago and the seven-year-old makes plenty of appeal off just a 1lb higher mark, especially with the extra yardage unlikely to be an issue. My Lady Elektra shaped well on both chase outings over C&D in the autumn and is entitled to be competitive after a break. Others to note are Visual Impact and Lady In The Park.

The mare VISUAL IMPACT was running a big race at Ayr until falling at the final fence, and that performance reads well.

SNOW PUNT finished with a rattle when just failing to get up over a similar trip at Limerick and may go one better. The nine-year-old has been consistent in his last few starts over fences and can gain a first success under Rules. Rhythmic Tune's trainer has been among the winners lately and the Vendangeur gelding, a winner over hurdles in the autumn, is interesting on chase debut. Wyoming Baby was placed in a couple of handicap chases last spring and may have needed her return to action at Thurles, while Is Charlie Around made a good return to fences here last week and takes a marked step up in trip.

The vote goes to ROC MY HAARTH on chase bow. He disappointed at Limerick but the form of his penultimate run has worked out very well

Palace Artois and Silken Bay have recent runs under their belts, but neither gets the pulse racing and ZERIYA is taken to make an immediate return on a big investment. A half-sister to a dual Group 3 winner in Australia, the daughter of Too Darn Hot is from the family of Zarak and Zarkava so it's no surprise she cost 480,000gns as a yearling. Fellow newcomers Vitality and Romance Spirit make some appeal, but Hot Silk showed ability at Yarmouth last autumn and is put forward as the primary danger.

Hot Silk sets a standard that is far from daunting. ZERIYA is a particularly interesting type among the newcomers.

ORDER ON TIME was a respectable second on his only start on the Irish point-to-point scene and swapped hands for 200,000 pounds soon after. With a pedigree that crosses his Group 1-winning sire's Flat-race speed with stamina from the dam, there is plenty to like for a race of this nature. Louxor De Grugy should be wiser after his debut at Kempton and can figure, while the betting can guide where the likes of Winmeafortune and Chance A Glance are concerned.

Irish point runner-up ORDER ON TIME is taken to go one better. Louxor De Grugy and Chance A Glance complete the shortlist.

KAISER DE CHANAY ran poorly here, but the ground was very heavy and he's worth another chance. He ran respectably at this circuit on his seasonal debut, but his claims are largely based on his fifth at Navan in January. The form of that race has worked out well and less testing ground on this occasion should suit the six-year-old. Drombane's first bumper run wasn't without merit and he's tried in a tongue-tie for his hurdling debut. His dam was a smart dual-purpose performer. Fabhcun could be given a chance on the strength of his debut effort at Gowran, although he took a backward step last time.

A weak maiden can go the way of KAISER DE CHANAY, whose penultimate effort would be good enough to win

Goes well fresh and on a good mark on last year's best; one to consider.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +36%) Stanley Spencer		4.5 9/2(+36%)																																(1) Stanley Spencer 9/2, Failed to settle and did too much too soon lit up by the blinkers beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective at 6f, acts on AW; competitive mark still but unreliable of late. C&D winner; fair mark on this winter's best; struggled in hot race on Saturday; can revive.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -129%) Mr Lightside		8 8/1(-129%)																																(5) Mr Lightside 8/1, Outpaced, never threatened but hinted at revival beaten 2l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time; top course trainer; wide draw; effective 5/6f on sound surface; has dropped a long way in weights, could build on latest. Last week's Wolverhampton 3rd was more encouraging; not discounted back at 6f.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -80%) Cajetan		18 18/1(-80%)																																(2) Cajetan 18/1, Yard won this last year; no obvious excuse beaten 5l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; wide draw; effective at 6f on good and AW; back below last win mark but in poor form for best part of a year. Talented but inconsistent; well handicapped if the return of headgear does the trick.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -13%) King's Crown		18 18/1(-13%)																																(6) King's Crown 18/1, Outpaced early, bit below form beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; generally consistent, may need to come down a couple more lbs. Not on a bad mark on his best form but his last three runs need bettering.
7	7 (7) (18/1 -13%) Dorney Lake		18 18/1(-13%)																																(7) Dorney Lake 18/1, Never threatened beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; mark keeps easing but with good reason. On a dangerous mark and latest run was promising; all wins on turf but he needs monitoring.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -633%) Way To Dubai		22 22/1(-633%)																																(9) Way To Dubai 22/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield in January; top course trainer; effective 6-8f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; needs more if turning out again so soon, drop back in trip may not be ideal. Good 3rd over 7f at Lingfield last week; not sure to benefit from the return to sprinting.
10	10 (10) (33/1 -32%) Digital		33 33/1(-32%)																																(10) Digital 33/1, Yard won this last year; scored by a neck off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle in February; effective at 5/6f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW, goes well off the front; bounce back needed.

8	8 (8) (66/1 -313%) Palmarian		66 66/1(-313%)																																(8) Palmarian 66/1, Yard won this last year; poorly placed having missed the break down the field in a handicap at Yarmouth most recent; wide draw; effective at 7f on good to soft; plenty to prove for new yard. Beaten fav in 3 of 6 runs for the Gosdens; sold 16,000gns since latest; back down in trip.

First or second in his last six appearances, HUNDRED CAPS is developing into a useful sprinter and was beaten by a rival on a hat-trick at Kempton. He was successful on his only previous outing at this venue and can continue on his upward curve. Mr Lightside was three and a half lengths behind him at Kempton, but improved to finish third at Wolverhampton and could be dangerous. Way To Dubai is rarely too far away, while Stanley Spencer will appreciate the drop in class.

A trappy race in which the return of cheekpieces could see CAJETAN resume winning ways. Hundred Caps is feared most.

A weak maiden in which Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand. Jack Kennedy rides ONE TO WITNESS, a Sholokhov half-brother to useful jumper Idas Boy who wasn't beaten that far in a Naas bumper that has had a recent form boost. He may be able to make a winning debut over hurdles. Danny Gilligan is on Dooks, a 52,000-euro store who is a brother to smart jumper Amarillo Sky, and he may prove more of a threat than the third Elliott runner Celtic Alliance, a half-sister to a pair of hurdle winners. Blossom Trixie has the benefit of hurdling experience, while Mastertown Miss makes some appeal on pedigree and represents a shrewd yard.

Having shown ability in a Naas bumper on debut, ONE TO WITNESS(nap) is quickly sent over hurdles and isn't easy to oppose

Open to improvement now handicapping with C&D reappearance under her belt; interesting.

Has somewhat regressed since winning at Lingfield in first-time blinkers.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -67%) Boy Named Sioux		20 20/1(-67%)																																(4) Boy Named Sioux 20/1, Bit free in first time hood, below form beaten 7 1/4l in a nursery at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective 5-7f on AW; bit more needed to defy revised mark. Returns to the scene of his win but needs to settle better upped in distance.

FOLK PAGEANT chased home the high-class Half Sovereign on debut last summer and wasn't seen again until justifying favouritism at Lingfield four weeks ago. She prevailed by less than a length, but appeared to have more in the tank and should take a step forward. An initial mark of 72 certainly looks workable, although Haddiah and On The Inlet also have tempting opening figures. Tewkesbury just failed on his own handicap bow, while Hardstyle and What's The Plan are a couple more to consider in a competitive affair.

The best-handicapped contender could well be FOLK PAGEANT. Second choice is Tewkesbury.

Keen over 2m3f here last time while still running well; the drop back to 2m should suit.

WILD WILD WIND had a far-from-clear passage when eighth of 22 at Cork recently and was placed in each of her three starts prior to that effort. Hugh Horgan retains the ride, claiming a valuable 5lb, and the five-year-old gets the nod. Fourth, eighth and ninth at Naas, Ode To Joy, Finnicky Filly and Cry Before Dawn renew rivalries, with the William McLernon-trained former taken to uphold the form. Already twice successful at this venue, Volez Vous is an interesting contender on her debut for Philip Rothwell, while others for the shortlist are Might Be The One, top-weight Bearami Creek and Terence O'Brien's Ellies Rock. Market trends should be watched in regards to the six handicap debutants in the line-up.

A bit keen over 2m3f at this venue a week ago, ODE TO JOY should be better suited back to the minimum trip and can get off the mark

This is competitive for the grade and the likes of old rivals Little Mi Mi, Fortunate Star and Okami are all capable of being on the premises. Colors Of Freedom and Auntie Jo also command respect, but a chance is taken on ISLA BELLA building on a near-miss at Wolverhampton last week. That was her first try with cheekpieces added and the Joey Ramsden-trained filly could represent good value with another step forward.

Numerous possibilities but Opal Storm and AUNTIE JO top the shortlist. The selection impressed in this headgear last month.

9	9 (9) (5/2 +58%) Blue Train		2.5 5/2(+58%)																																(9) Blue Train 5/2, Below form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas latest; trainer in form; effective at 2m with soft; can do better now handicapping judged on UK Flat form. Could be a different proposition on handicap hurdle debut for shrewd connections.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +30%) Market Ready		7 7/1(+30%)																																(8) Market Ready 7/1, Below form when fourth beaten 36l in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park latest; effective 2m, acts on sound surface; debut form has been franked and should improve now handicapping. Should be sharper after a run in Gowran maiden; definite chance in first handicap.
1	1 (1) (7/1 -17%) Our Uncle Jack		7 7/1(-17%)																																(1) Our Uncle Jack 7/1, Made too much use of up in trip on relatively quick return, didn't stay when pulled up in a handicap hurdle latest; effective around 2m, suited by plenty of cut; handicapper may have caught up but drop in trip should suit. Two impressive wins from the front before pulled up at Fairyhouse; drop in trip a help.
14	14 (14) (9/1 +18%) Old Kenmare		9 9/1(+18%)																																(14) Old Kenmare 9/1, Fell when behind in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest; usually held up; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on good; needs more to get off the mark. Improved for a switch to course handicaps last season; unproven in the mud.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +0%) Crohan Lady		12 12/1(+0%)																																(4) Crohan Lady 12/1, Made too much use of beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective 2m, acts on yielding and soft; consistent in short career, bit more to come. Close third at Thurles before midfield at Limerick off 3lb higher 11 days ago; in the mix.
11	11 (11) (14/1 -40%) Marlpark		14 14/1(-40%)																																(11) Marlpark 14/1, Went clear, returned to form under aggressive ride back down in trip at favoured venue when second beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and good; inconsistent but capable. Runner-up in course handicap latest, no match for the winner; chance from unchanged mark.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -45%) Silent Selector		16 16/1(-45%)																																(6) Silent Selector 16/1, Ran to form but well held off revised mark beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective 2m4f on a sound surface; stiff mark now. Both wins have been on good ground; jumping issues can be evident; wants better ground.
10	10 (10) (16/1 -14%) Keiths Boy		16 16/1(-14%)																																(10) Keiths Boy 16/1, Far too free on softer ground when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Naas latest; effective at 2m4f, acts on yielding and good; should have more to offer yet in handicaps. Some promise taken from handicap debut run at Naas in January; each-way player.
12	12 (12) (33/1 -32%) Wise Man		33 33/1(-32%)																																(12) Wise Man 33/1, Again ran to moderate level down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recent; could do better now handicapping. Some stiff tasks in 3 maiden hurdles; the market should prove informative on handicap bow.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -100%) Palace Boy		50 50/1(-100%)																																(2) Palace Boy 50/1, Below form up in trip after an absence comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; once was promising over hurdles in Britain but remains to be seen what ability remains. Three-time Flat winner; hurdles winner ran in 2023 Supreme; cheaply bought in January.
3	3 (3) (66/1 -230%) Stay In The Game		66 66/1(-230%)																																(3) Stay In The Game 66/1, Found little, well below form down the field in a maiden at Dundalk most recent; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; could bounce back on handicap debut. Couple of decent efforts over hurdles; tailed off at Dundalk last time; market will guide.
13	13 (13) (66/1 -230%) Elbow Lane		66 66/1(-230%)																																(13) Elbow Lane 66/1, Never in it from off the pace down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wexford most recent; point form had knocks but could improve now handicapping. Tailed off in 3 maiden hurdles; dangerous to discount on handicap debut given the source.

GINO BELLA would be a deserving winner of this competitive affair. Successful in a point-to-point at Damma House in November, she has been placed three times in four track starts since. Narrowly beaten into second at Cork on her latest outing and drawing well clear of the third, the first-time tongue-strap that worked there remains in place. Disappointing when bidding to complete a hat-trick at Fairyhouse in February, Our Uncle Jack warrants the utmost respect, while dual winner Silent Selector and Marlpark, who was second here last week, are other leading hopes. Handicap debutant Blue Train is totally unexposed in this discipline.

Course specialist TINGARRAN EXPRESS had a nice pipe-opener here in February and should be poised to strike again with fitness assured

ESPANITA is the least exposed contender and could be well placed to make a successful handicap debut. After readily landing a maiden at Wolverhampton, Charlie Johnston's filly looks a decent enough prospect to hold sway again at this level. Polka Blue is entitled to be on the premises based on what she has achieved in novice company, while Homestrait has faced stiffer tests and shouldn't be underestimated.

The form of ESPANITA's Wolverhampton win has been franked and she can defy a modest opening mark. Keep An Eye On It is feared most.

An 82,000-euro Goffs Arkle Sale purchase and a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Colonel Mustard, it's difficult to look beyond WORLD AS ONE. One of three debutants in the line-up, the German-bred five-year-old represents the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard. Point-to-point winners Game Theatre and High Kick Kev are the obvious dangers. The latter was successful at Tallow when in the care of Garry Aherne and was subsequently purchased for 60,000 euros. Sold privately after his Turtulla win for Paul Power, Game Theatre has since joined Henry de Bromhead and, with John Gleeson aboard, he should be able to make his presence felt. Out of a three-time winning half-sister to Champ, Little John is the most interesting of the remainder.

WORLD AS ONE has a classy pedigree and the son of Waldgeist can get his career off to the perfect start for the champion trainer

A Chelmsford winner in January, ROGUE JUSTICE then struggled over timber but reverts to the level in a very winnable race. With blinkers added, it would be no surprise to see the son of Calyx break more sharply than he has done in the past and the booking of Rossa Ryan suggests connections mean business. That is not to suggest this will be all one-way traffic and the likes of A Mere Bagatelle, Zephlyn and Captain Robert merit betting checks.

Low-mileage 4yo CAPTAIN ROBERT (nap) has particularly solid claims on form and is first choice ahead of Zephlyn.

Latin responded well to a first-time hood to win at Lingfield and it is a logical step for him to try and follow up under a 5lb penalty. However, this is a deeper race and he looks vulnerable on these terms. Preference is for HACKNEY DIAMONDS, who is already a dual course winner and has been given a big chance by the handicapper. Having won off 72 at his peak, a current mark of 59 is too tempting to ignore. Theophilos and Solanna complete the shortlist.

With improvement possible in this second start for Charlie Pike, WOOD WHISPERER is the suggestion. Phaedra is second choice.

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.
