Having returned at an SP of 80/1 when scoring over C&D last month, Under The Sun shouldn't be underestimated in his follow-up bid. However, the five-year-old was well positioned that day and he may be worth taking on with the lightly-raced BALOO'S BLUES, who arrives on the back of a staying-on second over a mile at Kempton and this step up in distance could be the making of him. Pleasant Man is a feasible alternative.

One Million Dreams is respected back on the Flat but BRONTE BEACH is given another chance to confirm the promise of her Kempton run.

PIONEER PETE didn't appear to see out a step up in distance when weakening into third at Catterick on New Year's Day and better is expected reverting to 2m. The son of Frontiersman has recorded some respectable form over this trip and this could prove a suitable opportunity to open his account. Galway bumper winner Our Guide is a potential fly in the ointment on his hurdling bow and market support could prove significant, while it is too soon to write off King Esoteric.

Particularly promising is OUR GUIDE who won a bumper on his sole Irish start. Pioneer Pete brings the best hurdles form.

The step up in class and distance proved too big an ask for BROOMFIELD ADERRA in Listed company at Doncaster. Dan Skelton's charge finished a close third in a decent handicap at Aintree prior to that and a repeat effort would suffice back in novice company for this. Well beaten in a bumper last month, the point-to-point winner Ka Mate Du Brivet could fare better now hurdling. He's preferred to Willshebe Court of the remaining pair.

Dan Skelton's BROOMFIELD ADERRA was progressing nicely until last time and on all known form this looks her's to lose.

WISETANCK built on a promising second-placed stable bow over C&D when opening his account at Wolverhampton earlier this month. A 3lb nudge up the ratings for Richard Hughes' colt looks workable and another bold bid is forecast. Sands of Seve proved a different proposition in a first-time visor at Dunstall Park, although a 9lb hike from the assessor demands more. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from Far Too Fizzy.

All six runners are of interest but WISETANCK (nap) powered home at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and he can make light of his 3lb rise.

Although pulled up on his latest outing at Kelso, a return to a sounder surface could be enough for SLANEY OPERA to get back on the scoresheet. The eight-year-old had previously scored at Sedgefield and his current mark doesn't look beyond him. Youdecide arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Kempton and must enter calculations in a first-time visor, while Holeshot lurks on an attractive figure.

The Verdict comprises THE CLONMEL KID and The Great Escape who are still maidens but may well improve for this switch to chasing.

GEORDIES BETTY lost a front shoe at Bangor last time, but still finished a resolute second. She gave the strong impression this extra yardage would suit in the process and conditional rider Freddie Keighley has been among the winners of late. Third here in January, Motazzen reverts to hurdling with a shout after a recent spin on the all-weather. He can feature, along with the returning Kylenoe Dancer, who scored over 2m3f here last May.

The suggestion is MOTAZZEN (nap) who has a good record at this track. Geordies Betty is the second choice.

Won twice on AW last September; quiet this year and may need an ease in grade.

SERGEANT PEP did little wrong when dead-heating for third in a competitive class 4 at Newcastle last month and he looks ready for another crack at 7f. The six-year-old remains 4lb below his last winning mark and a sixth career victory may be on the cards. Metallo found himself too far back at Wolverhampton and, despite this trip looking on the sharp side, cannot be written off. Dandy Khan is the pick of the remainder.

Two defeats in Dubai this year shouldn't be held against ONE MORE and last season's progressive AW form makes him of serious interest.

Sole attempt in cheekpeices resulted in creditable second at Kempton on penultimate start.

Given she was seven lengths clear of the second, a 1lb nudge up the ratings for Miss Cynthia's fortuitous victory at Fakenham appears fair and she merits respect in her follow-up bid. However, DUEL AU SOLEIL's latest runner-up effort behind a subsequent winner at Ascot looks stronger form and a return to the scene of his sole previous triumph may prove fruitful. Last-time-out course winners Daylatedollarshort and Just Call Me Lucy are two others to consider in an open contest.

The percentage call goes to BRAS D'OR, ahead of Daylatedollarshort in a competitive and very interesting handicap.

KITSILANO won nicely at Leicester before finding life tougher in a higher grade at Plumpton. He still finished a respectable third, given the winner has subsequently gone in again, and David Bridgwater's inmate gets another chance back at this level. Ronnies Reflection is usually in the mix off his current mark and is likely to prove competitive once again, while Daring Plan is worthy of a second glance.

A chance is taken on TOM DESJY in the hope that chase/handicap debutant can tap into the promise he showed in his Irish point.

MIGHTY VEGA was only beaten a neck into second over 6f at Newcastle last week and he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. Okiru also occupied the runner-up berth on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat, especially as first-time cheekpieces may bring out some improvement from him. Others to note are Yachtsman and Pretty Danielle.

ObsidianVerse should do better this year but BECAUSE WE CAN appeals as being well treated if he can just begin to settle better.

GAELIC RAMBLER has made steady progress since unshipping his rider on his chasing bow and it was probably a career-best effort when filling the runner-up spot at Stratford earlier this month. Cheekpieces now compliment the tongue-tie which has been used throughout his fledgling career and they might help eke out further improvement. Koapey drops in class having been pulled up at Newbury in November, while Zero Tolerance is likely to be on the premises too.

Attractively weighted SINGAPORE TRIP gets the vote ahead of Gaelic Rambler, whose turn seems near.

UNKNOWN ENTITY faced a stiffer test when pitched into a premier handicap at Sandown and should find this level a good deal easier. With a hood and tongue-tie combination tried, Dan Skelton's well-bred gelding could be hard to beat back in maiden company. Greenness got the better of Khalk'eau Spigao when he was introduced here in November. He was a well-backed favourite on that occasion and evidently more was expected. Jambon and hurdling debutant Grizzled Squirrel also command respect.

It's difficult to get away from UNKNOWN ENTITY for whom a persuasive case can be made on all his three runs for Dan Skelton.

THUNDERHOOF displayed plenty of promise when a close third over this trip at Southwell on his debut last month and Harry Eustace's gelding could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Similar comments apply to Stella Lucente, although her lack of a recent run is a slight concern, while any market support for Scheffler would have to be noted.

Montague Menace and Stella Lucente should go well but THUNDERHOOF can build on his promising debut third.

It looks best to stick with ESCAPOLOGIST, who must shoulder a penalty having won at Market Rasen. James Owen's charge faces a few with something to prove, not least Grade 2 winner and 2022 Champion Bumper second American Mike. Jalisco Star won against her own sex two starts ago but needs to bounce back from a lacklustre Newbury effort, and don't rule out the lightly-raced Jupiter Des Mottes.

Another chance is given to JUPITER DES MOTTES (nap) who may still have more to offer for Nicky Richards. Escapologist is respected.

The face value of DREAM ILLUSION's victory in a fillies event at Southwell is compelling enough to suggest she can go very close in this company. A rise of just 2lb for that defeat of an 81-rated opponent suggests Michael Herrington's four-year-old has been given and big chance of extending her run of good form. The hat-trick seeking Law Supreme is an obvious threat, while Sea Legend and Tasever both go well here.

This could go to SEA LEGEND, who won over C&D last month and should appreciate the step back up in trip.

MON CHAMPION scored readily over C&D 13 days ago and had enough in hand to suggest a 6lb rise shouldn't be too inconvenient at this stage. Rip Wheeler was 13 lengths back in second on that occasion and can get closer when taking into account the revised terms, with better ground also in his favour. Alright Dai is another track-and-trip winner to consider, while Superstylin also likes it here and cannot be ruled out.

Back on a less taxing surface, RIP WHEELER has a sporting chance of reversing recent course placings with Mon Champion.

Secret Road made a winning stable debut for Laura Mongan over C&D earlier this month and is respected from 5lb higher, but ROYAL JET might be too strong. Tony Carroll's charge put a lacklustre Chelmsford effort behind him to score narrowly over 7f here last week and, with a return to the mile in his favour, he could defy a penalty. Stable companion Youarenotforgiven is also penalised for a cosy Wolverhampton success, but nine-year-old Always Fearless may be a bigger threat.

A competitive race in which SECRET ROAD is suggested in his bid to make it 2-2 for Laura Mongan. Youarenotforgiven is next best.

Having relished a step up in distance when scoring at Ayr, Ck O'mara should have more to come over this sort of trip. However, the five-year-old is effectively 12lb higher in the ratings without Ben Smith's 7lb claim, which could leave the door open for YUMMY. The Order Of St George gelding posted a staying-on fourth on his handicap bow over an extended 2m at Doncaster and this marked rise in distance could work the oracle. Jonquilla, Farmer Jimmy and Rapid Mission are others of interest.

There's good reason to believe that YUMMY could be seen in a very different light now she's granted a test of stamina.

EAZY ON THE EYE seemed harshly treated when she was demoted from first to second at Wolverhampton last week. However, she could be considered as a winner without a penalty and looks worth another chance in what appears to be a weaker race. Jamaican Storm can make a fist of things if building on a couple of improved efforts over a mile, while Book Of Life, Concert Boy and Alpine Sierra are effective on Tapeta and are all capable of being on the premises.

Five-time course winner CONCERT BOY was short-headed here two starts ago and can be excused his subsequent defeat here.

TEST THE MARKET has made a promising start over hurdles with two second-placed finishes since joining Jim Boyle. The son of Cracksman looks the most appealing option given his potential to make further progress and this could be a good bit of placement. Juggernaut is interesting back over hurdles, especially with a 10lb claimer in the plate. Hello Cello, a previous course winner, also reverts to timber on a reasonable mark and shouldn't be taken lightly.

The one with the most obvious upside is handicap newcomer TEST THE MARKET who ran up against a fair sort last time.

THE LIFFEY can complete a hat-trick of claiming-race wins. Initially trained by Aidan O'Brien and rated as high as 98, he has recently taken well to all-weather racing and, suited by today's distance, should take all the beating under his 7lb claimer. Una Matata is similarly suited by this C&D but while she has strong recent handicap form, she is held by the selection on February form. Benavente has useful recent form and has bottom weight but drops markedly in distance, which is concerning.

This looks a good opportunity for THE LIFFEY (nap) to complete a quick hat-trick of wins at the track. Una Matata looks the danger

FORGLEN made it three wins from his last four when on target in an apprentice contest over 1m6f at Southwell a fortnight ago. Ryan Kavanagh, who retains the ride, is able to claim 5lb aboard the gelding this time around and, given the rate at which he is improving, this looks another fine opportunity. Sullivan Bay built on an encouraging return to go agonisingly close at Chelmsford and must be considered along with Sneaky Blinder, who arrives having won over the extended 2m at Wolverhampton recently.

The progressive 5yo FORGLEN appears to be the type who only just does enough to get the job done, and he can complete the hat-trick.

Noble Way is entitled to improve for the experience that he gained on his racecourse bow at Doncaster a month ago. That said, preference is for A SIGHT TO SEA, who won an Irish point-to-point in November and was purchased for 190,000 pounds later that month. On that evidence, the Dan Skelton-trained five-year-old could take plenty of beating on his Rules debut. Matador St Georges is related to plenty of winners and is another to note.

The conditions are likely to suit NOBLE WAY, who heads a shortlist that's completed by Matador St Georges and A Sight To Sea.

Because LORD CAPULET is a three-time C&D winner, has a traditionally beneficial high draw and has previously won under Shane Gray is enough evidence to champion the consistent four-year-old as the one to be with. Anthropologist, who is weighted to reverse the Southwell form with Camera Shy, is suggested as the chief danger, although Phoenix Of Dreams only went up 2lb for his track-and-trip win and is dangerous to overlook.

The lightly raced 4yo LORD CAPULET won three in a row over C&D earlier this year and can return to winning ways now that he's back here.

BISHOPTON returns following a mini-break and is well suited by this C&D. He followed up a course maiden win last August with a second success in September at Down Royal and while his rating has climbed, he was only beaten a half-length on his most recent start and he is now partnered by a 5lb claimer. Stablemate Whistling Jamesie won an ordinary nursery here last October, while fellow three-year-old Spinning Around scored narrowly over track and trip a few days later.

It may pay to side with the reappearing three-year-olds, Spinning Around and WHISTLING JAMESIE, the latter marginally preferred

Yorkshire Glory has to be respected on the back of five consecutive victories in recent weeks, but marginal preference is for WATER OF LEITH. Jim Goldie's gelding had plenty in hand when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and he is 3lb well-in here, despite carrying a 4lb penalty. Pit Boss is also 3lb well-in as a result of his C&D success last week and is another to consider.

The winning machine YORKSHIRE GLORY keeps on finding the necessary further improvement and is taken to complete a six-timer.

JAZZY DANCER is a four-time winner with useful recent form. An able and consistent handicapper at this level, he is just 1lb higher than when finishing second here recently. Fellow veteran Comfort Line finished narrowly ahead of Sakakawea last week and both have obvious claims, while Roman Harry wasn't beaten far into fourth last time. Jasmine Affanalis has yet to show much on the all-weather, but she was progressive last summer and should benefit from a recent reappearance run when a huge market drifter.

Five-time winner WINEMAKER was in good form here before a poor turf run last time. He can go well if on song

Sherlock won over 5f here a month ago and has to be noted, but a 6lb rise demands much more from him now. As a result, the vote goes to TEARDROPS, who was narrowly denied over C&D three weeks ago and a 2lb rise for that effort should be workable. Others who make the shortlist include Tickets, Elvetham and Miss Rainbow.

Kevin Ryan's SHERLOCK relished the drop to sprinting for the first time when scoring over 5f here last month and may follow up.

NUMIDIA was well beaten on his most recent start but has proven stamina and scored over C&D in November. A four-time winner, the keen-going eight-year-old did a little too much when making the running here in January and if he reverts to his previous form, he should go well in this winnable handicap. Mephisto did very well in good-ground staying hurdle races last summer and although pulled up in September, he has been freshened up and has form over track and trip. Sarmiento Power steps up to this distance for the first time, while Deluca Chop's best form is over shorter.

Scoring over 1m4f following a similar break in September, SARMIENTO POWER is a big player if this new trip can get some more from him

POWER FIZZ won a valuable event at Ascot on his penultimate start in May last year. He was not disgraced when fourth at Goodwood on his latest outing later that month and William Haggas' gelding merits the utmost respect on his return to action. Twilight Calls should not be underestimated following a spell in Dubai, while Rousing Encore and Wicket Keeper are others who make the shortlist.

Power Fizz (second choice) and Hockney look capable of better but TWILIGHT FUN could have a fitness edge over them.

LTO Selection:

Robson De Aguiar has a large team of juveniles and MARIA QUITERIA appears to be the trainer's first string here. Bought for 25,000 euros at the Orby Sale last September, she is out of a winning mare who has already produced an American sprint winner and she should know her job on debut. Stablemate Belle Island is a half-sister to four winners, while Whammy is out of a French juvenile winner.

Pretty much guesswork with only one with a run under her belt, a token selection being MARIA QUITERIA

Plenty with claims, but SAYTARR looks worth sticking with given the ease of his latest success. He looked to have plenty left up his sleeve when pulling clear at Southwell and the hat-trick beckons for the son of Mehmas. Course regular Flying Fletcher is holding his form well and will likely have a say in proceedings, while Brewing travels over from Ireland on a tempting mark. Nyman and Maestro Bernstein are not out of it either.

The way in which SAYTARR (nap) travelled last time suggests he can cope with another rise in the weights and make it 3-3 for this yard.

10	10 (10) (100/1 0%) Poet's Willow	100 100/1(0%)	(10) Poet's Willow 100/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a maiden here only start; all to prove for now. Last of ten at 150-1 in her debut over 1m4f here; ruled out.
9	9 (9) (250/1 -150%) Nelliestar	250 250/1(-150%)	(9) Nelliestar 250/1, Made too much use of down in trip here last time; yet to show any ability and looks a no-hoper here. Has beaten precious few rivals in nine starts; put a line through her.

WILD SAPPHIRE is lightly raced and contests an ordinary maiden. Out of a middle-distance Group 2-winning sister to Kyprios, he has clearly had some issues but nonetheless has shown promise and, if he reproduces his Leopardstown fourth, he should take all the beating. Gaiety Girl has recent solid form and bumped into a well-in winner here earlier this month. She is noted along with Tyraxes and Good Onya Mate.

No Nay Never gelding WILD SAPPHIRE has shown promise in his maidens and looks like the one to beat if sufficiently ready

It could pay to concentrate on those with recent form and BEST RATE looks worthy of another chance. Richard Hannon's charge was set a more difficult task last time, but was beaten only a length when fourth at Lingfield before that and can compete off a 2lb lower mark here. Eligible could bounce back having missed the break on his latest start, while Benacre won over C&D last month and is another to consider.

Thriving pair CARGIN BHUI and Flowstate might fight this out, with the former narrowly preferred.

Three-time winner STORM ERIC has yet to win beyond a mile but has been running well over C&D recently and has solid claims. His rating climbed to a peak of 72 in 2024 and while winless since January 2025, he has found some form again and is worth another chance. Barretstown is a four-time winner who finished narrowly behind the selection last time. He's respected along with Captain Hanley.

Placed in four of his last five runs here, STORM ERIC has been knocking on the door and it may be his turn

Sports Coach reversed earlier running with Master Of My Fate when scoring with a bit in hand at Southwell. He can feature again on that evidence, while Station X will be sharper for last month's one-length defeat over 6f and could also make his presence felt. TIRIAC won a couple of times over C&D at the end of last year and, with the form of his latest success working out well, he could be the one.

Sports Coach should go well but REIGNING PROFIT looked a threat to him when hampered late on at Southwell recently and gets the nod.

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.
