1	5 1st (5) (8/13 +55%) Moulin Labbe		0.615385 8/13(+55%)																															(5) Moulin Labbe 8/13, Very promising debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time; effective 2m, acts on heavy; French bumper winner, more to come, should be winning soon. 5l winner of 1m4f French bumper; fifth on stable/hurdle debut last time; Townend rides now.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 -100%) Crooked Path		7 7/1(-100%)																															(3) Crooked Path 7/1, Far too free comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective 2m with cut and on good; in form until latest, mark demands more. Some decent runs in defeat over hurdles; poor in a h'cap last time; decent chance.

Beaten favourite in two academy hurdles albeit not bad efforts; Kennedy keeps faith.
4	2 4th (2) (200/1 -203%) Chief Josef		200 200/1(-203%)																															(2) Chief Josef 200/1, Green, mistakes, ran to form down the field in a juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m; looks one for handicaps. Well beaten in both academy hurdles and a point last time; unlikely.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/1 -17%) Annie's Angel		7 7/1(-17%)																															(7) Annie's Angel 7/1, Ran to form when second beaten 6l in a maiden hurdle at Hereford latest; effective 2m, acts on heavy; should improve. 75-rated Flat winner improved over hurdle debut to finish second last time at Hereford.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -65%) Youknowthecode		66 66/1(-65%)																															(6) Youknowthecode 66/1, Never threatened on modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park only start; from top yard but plenty more needed.

HYGGE has been placed on both outings in academy hurdles and may have been found a good opportunity to open his account. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was third behind Minella Yoga (won again since) on testing ground at Fairyhouse and filled the same spot behind stablemate Lynches Knock at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival. On a line through that winner, he should have the beating of Moulin Labbe, who won a French bumper in good style but weakened before the last when switched to hurdles at Naas. Crooked Path has plenty of experience over hurdles and appears effective on varying ground conditions.

French bumper winner MOULIN LABBE raced keenly on Irish debut behind a couple of stablemates. He can do better now with Townend aboard

2	4 2nd (4) (85/40 +67%) Dream Shadow		2.125 85/40(+67%)																															(4) Dream Shadow 85/40, Poorly placed at sharp track but improved when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in Jane Seymour Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Warwick latest; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on any; progressing, debut form franked at Listed level, may get even further. Good 4th in a Grade 2 last time; up markedly in trip but there's stamina in her pedigree.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 -135%) Limerick Lass		20 20/1(-135%)																															(6) Limerick Lass 20/1, Went clear with ease, outclassed rivals suited by positive ride down in trip when winning a novice hurdle at Fontwell by 13l last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on good to soft; debut form franked, more needed here Has to take a step forward but that's quite feasible with her so lightly raced.
4	3 4th (3) (3/1 +25%) Coolanna		3 3/1(+25%)																															(3) Coolanna 3/1, Outpaced but rallied to defy penalty when winning a novice hurdle at Wincanton by 1 1/4l last time; effective 2m6f on heavy; more to come over staying trips. Has looked a thorough stayer in winning two novices for mares at about 2m6f (heavy).
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 -33%) Broomfield Aderra		8 8/1(-33%)																															(2) Broomfield Aderra 8/1, Ran to form on handicap debut, well placed in race dominated from front 2l third in a handicap hurdle at Aintree most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on good to soft; progressing over hurdles. Progressive for this yard and likely that she'll improve again for going over 3m.
5	5 |PU| (5) (10/1 +38%) Easy Love		10 10/1(+38%)																															(5) Easy Love 10/1, May have found ground a bit too testing comfortably held in Jane Seymour Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Warwick last time; effective 2 1/2m to 3m; highly tried in bumpers, may do better back on quicker ground Dropped out in a Grade 2 last time and others in here have stronger form.
1	1 |PU| (1) (18/5 -3%) Barra Rua		3.6 18/5(-3%)																															(1) Barra Rua 18/5, Ran to form just tiring late on up in trip having done plenty early and travelled strongly when fourth beaten 16l in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown latest; has run well at higher levels than this; effective 2-3m, acts on any; form franked, return to quicker ground could suit. Strong form contender on her Irish exploits and 3m on good to soft could be ideal.
7	7 |PU| (7) (18/1 -140%) Livingonaprayer		18 18/1(-140%)																															(7) Livingonaprayer 18/1, Improved down in class and up in trip to defy penalty when winning a novice hurdle at Wincanton by a short-head last time; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on good, soft; progressive, latest form working out well. Unbeaten this season and pedigree offers plenty of optimism for this longer trip.

COOLANNA appears a shrewd purchase at 40,000 pounds, having won both starts over hurdles subsequently. Her jumping looked a lot more polished when she outstayed the useful Strong Run over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton and, likely to improve again for this extra yardage, she can maintain her unbeaten status under Rules. Irish raider Barra Rua boasts some decent form in Graded company and may prove the biggest danger, although Broomfield Aderra shouldn't be too far away if seeing out the trip.

A trappy race in which most have chances. BARRA RUA could see out the 3m better this time as the ground was heavy at Leopardstown.

1	5 1st (5) (9/1 +0%) Cool Molly		9 9/1(+0%)																															(5) Cool Molly 9/1, Couldn't go the pace on sharp track when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; effective at 5f, just gets 6f with right fractions, acts on AW; disappointing but worth this step back up in trip. Didn't run much of a race here last month but may revive after short break.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 0%) Arishka's Dream		3 3/1(0%)																															(1) Arishka's Dream 3/1, Enjoyed uncontested lead and improved when winning a maiden at Wolverhampton by 2 1/4l last time; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; can be keen and not certain to get things as easy this time. Clearcut winner of Wolverhampton maiden; makes handicap debut here; unexposed.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/4 +61%) Far Too Fizzy		2.75 11/4(+61%)																															(6) Far Too Fizzy 11/4, Made too much use of down in trip from a poor draw when seventh beaten 12l off 67 last time, 2lb lower here; suited by 6f, acts on AW; consistent given right fractions and return to this trip a plus. Hard to steer from a wide draw here two weeks ago but he'd previously bolted up over C&D.
4	9 4th (9) (18/1 -50%) Luna Beaux		18 18/1(-50%)																															(9) Luna Beaux 18/1, Made too much use of up in trip when sixth beaten 4 1/4l off 54 last time, 6lb higher here; suited by 6f, acts on AW; drop in trip looks beneficial. Easy winner on stable debut; well held next time but this return to sprinting should help.
5th	8 5th (8) (22/1 0%) Denby's Dream		22 22/1(0%)																															(8) Denby's Dream 22/1, Ran to best hooded first time and back to 6f when beaten 1 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time; effective at 6f, acts on sound surfaces; others stronger. 50-1 and hooded when fourth here last week; others may have more potential.
6th	7 6th (7) (8/1 -23%) Corniche Girl		8 8/1(-23%)																															(7) Corniche Girl 8/1, Finished fast after minor traffic issues, would have gone very close when beaten 3/4l off this mark here last time; usually held up; effective 5/6f, acts on sound surface, suited by hold up tactics and competitively weighted. 1-13; finished fast here two weeks ago and likely to be thereabouts once more.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/3 +33%) Escape Plan		3.333333 10/3(+33%)																															(2) Escape Plan 10/3, Ran to form when second beaten 3 1/2l in a novice at Wolverhampton latest; tongue-tie first time; significant jockey booking; effective at 6f on good to soft and AW; more to come now handicapping. Form of Wolverhampton second has been boosted; interesting on handicap debut.
9th	4 9th (4) (22/1 -38%) Henriette Ronner		22 22/1(-38%)																															(4) Henriette Ronner 22/1, Bit keen off slow pace and didn't look overly enthusiastic late when fourth of five at Southwell latest; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Off the mark on final run for William Haggas, but well held on stable debut last time.

Having opened his account at the fifth time of asking, Wolverhampton winner Arishka's Dream is still open to improvement. The son of Dream Ahead may not enjoy such an easy time out in front, though, with preference for fellow handicap debutant ESCAPE PLAN. Tom Ward's inmate found only a horse now rated 97 too good at Dunstall Park when last seen in September and an official rating of 69 could prove lenient. Mister Moet is the pick of the remainder.

Topweight ARISHKA'S DREAM got his act together at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and may follow up.

May show progress returned to 2m in this third British attempt.

QUEENIE ST CLAIR, a gutsy winner at Wincanton on Boxing Day, banished the memory of a below-par run at Taunton when she scored emphatically at Fontwell last Sunday. Turned out again under a penalty, the six-year-old mare can follow up with the ground still to her liking. Eddie My Eagle debuts in a handicap off a workable mark and is respected after tasting success at Plumpton. However, the class-dropping Treasure Planet could be a bigger danger.

Queenie St Clair appears to have a great chance but UNJEU ROYAL is a plausible alternative. Eddie My Eagle looks solid.

Ex-Irish 12yo; last seen finishing sixth in 2024 Grand National; bit to prove after layoff.

PROTEKTORAT has bundles in hand based on official ratings and looks well placed to give his yard back-to-back winners of this race, while priming himself for a possible tilt at the Ryanair at Cheltenham in 12 days time. Minella Drama has been below his best of late, but he is a previous course winner who could be tough to reel in granted an easy lead. Ain't That A Shame resumes for a new stable after a 686-day break, but he can better Stolen Silver for third.

It's hard to look beyond PROTEKTORAT who justified favouritism at Windsor last month. Today's opposition is weaker.

GALILEO DAME is a smart dual-purpose mare and can gain an overdue win over hurdles. She was placed twice at Listed level on the Flat and beat all bar Hello Neighbour in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last year. She went close when reverting to timber over 2m4f at Limerick over Christmas and should be suited by this drop back to 2m. Royal Hillsborough has strong form in bumpers and was unfortunate in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown when her rider misjudged the winning post. The Dotski caught the eye staying on late on debut at Fairyhouse and may prove more of a threat than Shadys Lady and Sound Judgement.

MIGHTY BANDIT has improved with each chase start to date and the way he recovered from a bad mistake three out over C&D to go on and win by eight lengths was impressive. An 8lb rise will no doubt make life tougher, but he remains open to further progress and should prove a tough nut to crack. Queens Gamble beat a useful rival in Bluey at Wincanton, but whether the latter ran up to her best is up for debate. The rest all arrive with questions to answer, but last year's winner Brookie is respected.

CAPTAIN FOX finished a respectable third on his final outing as a juvenile at Newmarket and an official rating of 81 suggests that he could be tough to beat in novice company. Although his wellbeing has to be taken on trust, Richard Hughes' inmate edges the vote over a race-fit Sovereign Bay. The New Bay gelding offered plenty to work with on his debut second at Newcastle and he's likely to be involved once more, along with Kokushoku.

If CAPTAIN FOX reproduces his 2yo form he's the one to beat, although Sovereign Bay is likely to press him if building on his debut.

Won under Megan Fox at Haydock before running well in Grade 2 at Cheltenham; e-w player.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 -50%) Doctor Blue		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(5) Doctor Blue 9/2, Reportedly bled when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective at 2m on a sound surface; worth excusing latest and could bounce back on handicap debut.

BRENTFORD HOPE won in handicap company at Haydock and was turned out a week later to pick up valuable prize money when third to The New Lion in an unsatisfactory renewal of the International at Cheltenham. Connections will have been relieved that the handicapper left him alone and a 4lb rise for Haydock appears to be more than fair. Melon's third at Cheltenham in December gives him every chance, while there was an excuse for Doctor Blue's Doncaster disappointment but he did show a darker side to his nature at Exeter last week.

He has achieved the least of these in the current campaign but RUBBER BALL is from an in-form stable and he drops back in trip.

STARMOUNT, who was a creditable fourth in the Grade 1 Formby at Aintree, made the most of dropping in class when he coasted home by 15 lengths at Wetherby. That impressive display suggests he is above average and this could provide him with the biggest win of his career so far. Le Beau Madrik is likely to be on the premises after a couple of victories at Newcastle. However, Montemares was far from disgraced in the Challow at Newbury and he might be a bigger danger.

The Dan Skelton-trained LE BEAU MADRIK impressed at Newcastle last month and is taken to make it 3-3 over hurdles.

SHOWURAPPRECIATION was absent for nearly two years after winning a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle and has progressed well over fences this season. The Jonathan Sweeney-trained gelding scored in fine style over an extended 2m6f at Punchestown last month and is well treated compared to his revised chase mark of 126. Chosen Diamond won over a similar trip at Fairyhouse last year before finishing second in this race and has dropped down to a competitive mark. Lady Bluebird should benefit from a couple of outings this term and is now fitted with cheekpieces.

This can go to SHOWURAPPRECIATION who was a comfortable winner over fences last time and can now race off his lower hurdles mark

KING'S THRESHOLD produced a career-best performance when brushing aside a decent field at Newbury and a 6lb rise for that performance looks more than fair. Although shouldering top weight in a competitive race of this nature is no easy task, the progressive nine-year-old borders on being a Graded performer and is capable of getting the job done. Dartmoor Pirate is an obvious danger looking to complete a hat-trick of wins, while New Order and Kelce are others to throw into the mix.

The 7yo JASMIN DE GRUGY could easily deliver a career best should the new cheekpieces receive a positive response.

RICHIE'S ROCKET shaped with plenty of promise first time out in what looks a hot Newmarket maiden (three in behind have won since) and took a forward step when winning by nine lengths over C&D in November. Still keen and showing signs of greenness that day, he is likely to have improved further during his time away from the track and a bold is anticipated on his reappearance. Sir Albert was only beaten half a length at this level on his penultimate outing and should go close if able to reproduce that level of performance, while Bella Lyra also holds solid claims in a competitive event.

Bella Lyra has more to give over 7f but RICHIE'S ROCKET (nap) bolted up over C&D in November, looking a good prospect for 2026.

SCORSESE finished third in a stronger race behind Jordans Cross at Cheltenham last month when arguably producing a career-best effort. The ease in grade represents an ideal opportunity for the eight-year-old to gain a second victory over the larger obstacles. Mon Champion fell when holding every chance at Leicester and has shaped as though stepping up in trip would bring about some improvement. Rodney and Noble Park appear best of the remainder.

Improving RODNEY has impressive stats and may again defy top weight with Charlie Deutsch keeping the ride. Scorsese is second pick.

Cracking Rhapsody has won this for the last two years and is back to do it all over again, although he competes off a 4lb higher mark 12 months on and hasn't shown a great deal in any of his last three appearances. It may pay to side with HAMLET'S NIGHT, who was just touched off by Rubaud in the Grade 2 Elite Hurdle at Wincanton in November and showed he's in good form when victorious on the Flat at Kempton recently. Captain Hugo and Wise Eagle are others to consider.

Course specialist CRACKING RHAPSODY (nap) can win the Morebattle Hurdle for a third consecutive season. Heart Above is second choice

SAN HILARIO has been a model of consistency in handicaps and may open his account reverting to maiden company. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding filled the runner-up spot for the third time this term when beating all bar Powerful over an extended 2m4f at Punchestown. The biggest threat may emerge from bumper winner Hens Tooth, who should benefit from a couple of hurdle outings this term, ahead of the lightly-raced Nopresentliketime.

ROYAL GLADIATOR was a runner-up behind smart prospect Oh My Word on rules' debut and posted another solid effort over hurdles last time

KEFIR D'OUDAIRIES appears to set the standard on his second at Market Rasen and the six-year-old, who underperformed at the same venue subsequently, may well benefit from being freshened up since. Leader Crik has had a wind operation since his Rules bow at Cheltenham in October and that is likely to aid his cause. Others to consider are Dropematthestation and Who's Glen.

The suggestion is DROPEMATTHESTATION whose Warwick fourth has worked out well and the heavy ground found him out last time.

HOW'S THE GUVNOR could give weight and a beating to these rivals. Jennie Candlish's charge has been running consistently well for a number of months and the form of his recent close-up fourth at Wolverhampton looks rock solid, especially with both the second and third winning since. He steps down in class and makes slightly more appeal than Profit Street, who backed up his C&D success with a narrow defeat over 6f here on Wednesday. Poke The Bear and King David both have each-way claims.

The form of his latest Wolverhampton fourth has been franked and HOW'S THE GUVNOR can register his third win of the year.

TORN AND FRAYED posted a determined effort to finish second in a similar event at Cheltenham and he has a decent chance of going one better off an unchanged mark. Eldorado Allen was one place (and seven lengths) back in third that day and is another to consider closely judged on this season's form. Brave Kingdom could be a bigger danger now he has topped up his match fitness following a solid display at Taunton.

The Verdict comprises BRAVE KINGDOM and Our Power, who are both interesting switched to the veterans' sphere for the first time.

More was expected of Florida Dreams when only sixth at Musselburgh at the start of the month, but he has been dropped 2lb and could show a lot more. Even so, GOOD TO BE ALIVE looks the way to go. Olly Murphy's charge made his third outing in a handicap a successful one at Plumpton and is likely to have plenty of improvement in him. Frontier Prince completes the shortlist.

The progressive Good To Be Alive commands respect but preference is for fellow 5yo SMART DECISION, unexposed at the trip.

JACOB'S LADDER will relish testing conditions and is taken to follow up a valuable handicap chase success in Leopardstown at the start of the month. He was notably strong in the closing stages of that contest, drawing five lengths clear, and this is a good trip for him. Lovely Hurling was Grade 1-placed over flights and although he was beaten a fair way into second in two beginners chases, the winners of those races are classy sorts so he should be a contender. Port Joulain made all to score in a beginners chase at Fairyhouse and represents strong connections on this step up in class. Willie Mullins has won three of the last four renewals of this race.

An emphatic winner of of a big handicap at the DRF, JACOB'S LADDER has more than enough ability to win in this grade

Raised 12lb for successive wins but he has the momentum behind him.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +77%) Caramelo Rapido		2.75 11/4(+77%)																															(5) Caramelo Rapido 11/4, Below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time; effective around 2m, stamina still not fully proven over further, acts on good to soft and good; may need this drop in trip; others arrive in better form. Beaten a neck on his handicap debut last April but four lesser runs have followed.
7	7 (7) (22/1 -38%) Prized Jet		22 22/1(-38%)																															(7) Prized Jet 22/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip on hurdles return comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time; effective 2m6f-3m, acts on good; in moderate form since move from Ireland. Best form has been over fences (in defeat); tailed off back over hurdles last time.

After his fourth to The Resdev Tyke on Boxing Day he ran no race at Sedgefield.
8	8 (8) (28/1 -27%) New Invention		28 28/1(-27%)																															(8) New Invention 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2m1f on good; yet to build on debut effort and looks up against it. In a respected yard but has no show in either of his handicaps, at 2m and 3m.

THE RESDEV TYKE landed a gamble at Wetherby on Boxing Day and backed that up when just prevailing at Market Rasen. With the likelihood of more to come, he is taken to handle another 6lb rise. Tilehurst's last run, when third at Stratford in the autumn, may not be as disappointing as it originally appeared as the winner has displayed some smart form since, including when runner-up in the Elite Hurdle. On his handicap debut, Neil Mulholland's charge commands plenty of respect, while Chevington and Captain Cool head the remainder.

This may go to CAPTAIN COOL who hasn't run badly in any of his handicaps and the latest was a higher grade than this.

4	4 (4) (11/4 +17%) Vincenzo		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(4) Vincenzo 11/4, Improved up in trip, suited by stiff test landing a Handicap Chase by 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Ascot last time; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on soft and good; progressing and finished a good second in this 12 months ago. Chase record of 1212221 includes a good effort in this race last year; rock-solid claims.
1	1 (1) (11/2 -38%) Twinjets		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(1) Twinjets 11/2, Unseated mid-race in Betfair Exchange Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest; off a short-break; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on good to soft and good; respected for yard with good record in this. Form this season features a C&D performance that suggests he's an ideal type for this race.
10	10 (10) (13/2 +46%) Pleasington		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(10) Pleasington 13/2, Yard won this last year; in trouble early and no impression when fell late in a handicap chase at Wetherby latest; effective around 2m, acts on heavy and good to soft; bit to prove after latest effort. Disappointing favourite last time but it's difficult to write off this low-mileage 8yo.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +36%) Josh The Boss		7 7/1(+36%)																															(7) Josh The Boss 7/1, Error at key stage as pace lifted before rallying when second at Ludlow latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; bold jumper over fences and remains progressive. Novice chaser who has performed creditably off current mark, albeit at a lower level.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +0%) Issam		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Issam 7/1, Did it cosily, improving back down in trip when landing a handicap by 6 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; progressive and chance in this off revised mark. Readily justified favouritism at Kempton last time, taking chase record to 3-6; in the mix.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -23%) Blow Your Wad		8 8/1(-23%)																															(2) Blow Your Wad 8/1, Returned to form down in trip, ridden to pick up the pieces when 16l third in Ascot Chase (Grade 1) at Ascot most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good ground; competitively weighted back in a handicap. Literal reading of latest effort (in Grade 1; stable debut) suggests a 2lb rise is lenient.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +45%) Teddy Blue		12 12/1(+45%)																															(6) Teddy Blue 12/1, Poorly placed, ridden to see out the trip beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap chase at Musselburgh last time; suited by 2m on a sound surface; not straightforward. Raced mainly over shorter; failed to improve for the 2m4f trip last time; opposed.
9	9 (9) (18/1 -29%) Triple Trade		18 18/1(-29%)																															(9) Triple Trade 18/1, Ran to form, ridden to pick up the pieces when third beaten 10l off 131 last time, same mark here; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good ground; back in form, remains well treated on old efforts. Has a solid record this season but the 10yo looks under some pressure in this field.
5	5 (5) (20/1 -100%) Heltenham		20 20/1(-100%)																															(5) Heltenham 20/1, Outpaced and outclassed up in grade when comfortably held in the Ascot Chase (Grade 1) last time; effective around 2m4f, acts on good to soft and good; on last winning mark and goes well at Newbury winning this in 2024. Record of 3-5 at Newbury features a success in this contest two years ago; not ruled out.
8	8 (8) (22/1 -57%) Glengouly		22 22/1(-57%)																															(8) Glengouly 22/1, Made too much use of, likely found ground too quick when pulled up at Cheltenham latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-3m, acts with cut; remains well treated on old efforts, chance if bouncing back. Gained his notable Cheltenham win from the front; not sure to get his own way.

VINCENZO is tough, reliable and effective on the forecast going. Attributes that give him a solid chance of supplementing last month's Ascot success off just 2lb higher. Issam was a cosy winner at Kempton and a 7lb rise could be manageable if he's in the same form. Pleasington is an interesting alternative at the forecast odds. He is unexposed over fences/this trip and his second-placed finish here at the Christmas fixture reads well.

Another chance is given to the novice chaser PLEASINGTON. Vincenzo, who looks rock solid, is second pick.

Needs improvement but he's low mileage and Tom Marquand is a good booking.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -108%) Mighty Ruler		25 25/1(-108%)																															(7) Mighty Ruler 25/1, Bit below form when seventh beaten 3 1/2l off 58 last time, 1lb lower here; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. C&D win in January; possible excuses twice since but others are still preferred.

Royal Jet has won four of his last five appearances and must enter calculations, but narrow preference is for U S S CONSTITUTION. Back with Ed Walker following a two-year stint in Hong Kong, the six-year-old returned with an impressive victory over this trip at Kempton earlier in the month and he looks more than capable of defying a 7lb rise. My Boy Harry hasn't done too much wrong since the blinkers were fitted and he could make the frame once more.

The way in which U S S CONSTITUTION picked up from off the pace to win at Kempton suggests he can cope with a 7lb rise.

Bruce Banner sprung a 33/1 surprise at Musselburgh in November and is out to prove that was no fluke, but he might find it tough to give his penalty away to KEYBOARD. Adam Nicol's gelding has found one too good in each of his three timber starts, including behind Bruce Banner in that Musselburgh contest, but looks to have been found a good opportunity to go one better. It's highly unlikely Vivre Le Reve gave his true running at Wetherby and he isn't one to write off.

There is a concern KEYBOARD is not straightforward but he has shown some good form and this could be a good opportunity.

Gordon Elliott's FOUND A FIFTY is particularly effective in small-field Grade 2 assignments and looks the one to beat with a rating of 164. He was an honourable third at the highest level in Leopardstown and has had almost a month off from those exertions. His stablemate Better Days Ahead made a highly encouraging return to action when second in a Grade 2 over flights at this venue just under three weeks ago. Staying tests over fences are more his forte and his last couple of chase victories came at this track. Saint Sam enjoys racing at the head of affairs and this is his level, while James Du Berlais is weighted to have a say.

If restored to form after two below-par Leopardstown Grade 1 displays, FOUND A FIFTY should win this Elliott/Mullins showdown

Minella Rescue looked to find 2m4f on the sharp side at Uttoxeter and he can be forgiven that effort. Gary Hanmer's charge isn't taken lightly, but IKE SPORT is slightly more appealing. The eight-year-old does have to put a below-par sixth at Plumpton behind him, but a previous sixth in the Lanzarote suggested that a race of this nature should be within his compass. Handicap debutant Big Ticket is the pick of the remainder.

This would look an open race were it not for the potential of BIG TICKET, who has given major encouragement for a test like this.

Having continued his resurgence when completing a double over 6f here, Cargin Bhui must enter calculations. However, the son of Invincible Army has yet to prove his stamina over 7f, which could leave the door open for GOLDMOYNE. The six-year-old has been knocking on the door since scoring at Newcastle in the christmas period and a fifth career victory may beckon. Camera Shy is the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for the solid GOLDMOYNE, given that Cargin Bhui needs to prove himself beyond 6f.

Having won over C&D when introduced in March 2024, HUFFIN AN A PUFFIN rewarded the patience of his connections with a ready handicap debut success at Doncaster 23 days ago. Doing all his best work near the finish that day, the son of Mount Nelson created the impression he is on the upgrade and could again be hard to beat. The hat-trick seeking Analiese and in-form Lucky Bere are just a couple of others to consider.

Handicap debutant KILWAUGHTER (nap) has a very attractive opening mark and is first choice ahead of Huffin An A Puffin.

Despite being sent off at 50/1, JAKE LOVES LAURA finished a creditable third off a mark of 50 at Chelmsford earlier in the month and will appreciate this drop in class. The step back up in trip shouldn't pose her too many problems and she could be the one to beat. Legendsoftheland made the frame in this class at Wolverhampton and is likely to be thereabouts again, while C&D winner Tilsworth Max is another to note.

Cuban Fiesta is respected but SEDGEMOOR has a bit of class for this grade and is taken to add to his recent Newcastle success.

A PATH TO RONDA sets the standard having gained further valuable black type when placed in a Grade 2 at Warwick earlier in the month. The drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue, especially being a half-sister to the hugely talented Simonsig, and it will be disappointing if she is unable to get back to winning ways. Bittalemon was behind the selection in a Listed contest at Haydock just before Christmas but is capable of better, while Just An Artist completes the shortlist.

This looks an excellent opportunity for A PATH TO RONDA, who has finished third in Listed and Grade 2 races on her last two starts.

SAVANTE could exploit her lower chase mark. She did very little wrong when runner-up in a valuable handicap hurdle over further in Leopardstown, when collared close home. That form looks strong as she was 15 lengths clear of the third. Sophia Rose gets first-time cheekpieces after a runner-up spot over a longer trip in Punchestown and has winning form over a similar distance from a maiden hurdle in Sligo last summer. Her stablemate Me Wee Bonnie Lass has a 7lb claimer on board to lessen her burden and she is capable of a good run in this company. Femme Magnifique is another in the mix for prize money.

The key players are SOPHIA ROSE and Savante. Preference is given to the former, following solid placed efforts over fences recently

There was plenty of encouragement to be gleaned from IVOR BEAR's debut fourth in a Listed event at Cheltenham and he sets a clear standard now dropping in class. He should put that experience to good use and a breakthrough victory beckons. Friendly Glance is a brother to several decent sorts and possesses enough speed in his pedigree to land a bumper. Alan King's newcomer is feared most, ahead of Cotton Socks, who has made the frame on both outings to date.

The most solid option is IVOR BEAR whose fourth of 16 in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham was a very respectable start.

FLOWSTATE secured a double at Newcastle and further glory may be on the cards. The introduction of Conor Whiteley's 7lb claim could prove fruitful and the five-year-old is taken to thwart Lord Capulet in his quest to complete a four-timer. Kevin Ryan's inmate isn't taken lightly, but a 4lb higher mark and rise in class does demand another career best. Fellow last-time-out winners Packetofbiscuits and King Of York add further spice to the mix.

Flowstate and LORD CAPULET have been thriving at Newcastle and make the most appeal, with slight preference for the latter.

MALINA ROAD is unbeaten in two bumpers, having won at Ludlow before taking a Listed contest at Market Rasen, and Fergal O'Brien's mare makes plenty of appeal despite conceding weight all round. Princess Day won on her Rules debut at Chepstow and this flatter track may well see her in a better light. Fairy Park impressed in a point-to-point at Dromahane last April and she commands plenty of respect too.

None of these can be ruled out but PRINCESS DAY looked a useful prospect at Chepstow and can extend her winning sequence.

King's Hand beat Tommy's Promise by just over a length over track and trip last month and has since switched to the Joseph Parr stable, so he is one to keep an eye on. Miss Herschel is worth a second look on just her second outing in handicap company, but OMAN gets the nod. The eight-year-old has occupied the runner-up berth the last twice, most recently at Wolverhampton, and can continue his good form.

King's Hand and Tommy's Promise are closely matched but this could be run to suit OMAN and he gets the nod in a trappy race.

PUSH THE BUTTON was fancied to go close in a typically competitive event on Trials Day at Cheltenham, but his jumping let him down at a crucial stage. His form earlier in the season reads particularly well, including a second at Ascot behind Steel Ally, and this appears a suitable confidence booster. Old Gregorian came home alone on his chase debut at Wetherby in October, but he jumped well in the main and is entitled to improve. Al Kalila has run with credit here and is preferred to Scarlet Jet.

Stuart Crawford's AL KALILA shaped well twice here towards the end of last year and stepping back down in trip looks a positive move.

2	2 (2) (10/11 -14%) Shafi		0.909091 10/11(-14%)																															(2) Shafi 10/11, Confirmed debut level when winning a novice here by 2 1/2l last time; returning from a break; effective at 7f, acts on AW; more to come for good yard. Form of C&D win in October has been boosted; solid claims.
4	4 (4) (11/5 +82%) Padraig Dawn		2.2 11/5(+82%)																															(4) Padraig Dawn 11/5, 30,000gns Saxon Warrior colt; half-brother to Like A Lion, very useful at 7f as a 2yo; dam high-class at 7f as a 2yo; makes some appeal on breeding but likely to need experience. 30,000gns foal; out of a Moyglare Stud winner and worth a market check on debut.

Showed something to build on when third at Chelmsford and should be thereabouts.
6	6 (6) (6/1 -9%) Tommo's Ginjaninja		6 6/1(-9%)																															(6) Tommo's Ginjaninja 6/1, Similar form to debut, again looking to want further when 2 1/2l third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; effective 7-9f, acts on AW; backed up debut form second start and still something to come. Similar form when placed twice at Wolverhampton, and should be on the premises again.

Fifth of nine at Newcastle in October, fading; improvement required but possible.

SHAFI built on a promising third-placed debut when landing the spoils over C&D in October. James Tate's colt looks capable of better and he could prove a tough nut to crack if returning at the same level. The biggest threat may emerge from Master Of Keraunos, who appeared in need of the experience when reaching the frame on his opening bid at Chelmsford. Tommo's Ginjaninja can fare best of the remainder.

Despite a penalty, SHAFI looks the one to beat, having built on his debut form when winning over C&D in October.

4	4 (4) (14/1 +30%) Lordsbridge Bay		14 14/1(+30%)																															(4) Lordsbridge Bay 14/1, Moderate debut when beaten 8l in a maiden at Wolverhampton on debut; speedily-bred; needs improvement to have a say here.

3	3 (3) (22/1 +33%) Tiny Riot		22 22/1(+33%)																															(3) Tiny Riot 22/1, Similar level to debut when comfortably held in a maiden at Newbury last time; returning from a break; pedigree mix of speed and stamina; looks a longer term prospect. Well beaten at Pontefract (6f) and Newbury (6.5f) last autumn, which is low-level form.

NO NAY DATA outran odds of 18/1 when touched off at Kempton in October and would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, she will prove very hard to beat. Lordsbridge Bay finished last of five on debut at Wolverhampton, but could take a big step forward from that display. Any market confidence behind newcomer Thunderhoof would be interesting.

Tom Clover's NO NAY DATA went mighty close on her debut at Kempton in October and that is far and away the best form in this line-up.

CHANTELLE made a strong impression when winning under a penalty at Wolverhampton last month and will relish this extra furlong. An opening mark of 78 looks on the lenient side and the daughter of Gleneagles can progress again to remain unbeaten. Breathe Easy got off the mark at Kempton and with the Andrew Balding yard in brilliant form, he has to be respected. Ebn Sabt can beat Silver State home for third.

The extra distance will surely see CHANTELLE (nap) improve on this handicap debut, having won 7f novice events on her only two starts.

Won a Kempton novice on reappearance and she's strongly respected on handicap debut.

Back form long absence but he's on dangerous mark and needs watching in market.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -122%) King Of Ithaca		20 20/1(-122%)																															(7) King Of Ithaca 20/1, Not best of runs but just about to form when sixth beaten 4l off 78 last time, 1lb lower here; suited by 7f, acts on AW; mark may still be stiff enough. All wins have been at 7f and he didn't fire here last time; down the list.

It's fair to say Aisling Oscar has been the story of the winter after he completed an eight-timer over C&D prior to only going down by half a length at Newcastle. He should remain competitive, but SAYTARR is the wiser option. The son of Mehmas made his first appearance for the James Horton yard a victorious one at this course and can go in again. Glistening completes the shortlist.

Top of the list is the remarkable AISLING OSCAR, who won eight in a row before his clear second at Newcastle two weeks ago.

Showed promise in two runs in the autumn and he's open to progress upped to 1m3f on return.

Promising second on Kempton debut last month and she sets a fair standard on that form.
2	2 (2) (18/1 +55%) La Peregrina		18 18/1(+55%)																															(2) La Peregrina 18/1, Lacked pace to have a say on debut when well beaten in a novice at Redcar only start; returning from a break; plenty more needed but is with a good yard. Cost 155,000gns as yearling but he struggled on debut in October and has been gelded since.

A chance is taken on the returning HIGH STORM, who ran well in a couple of outings last year and is expected to have improved for a gelding operation. The betting could prove a good guide as to who is more fancied between him and stablemate Distorted Truth, a promising second at Kempton on debut, while the same can be said for Charlie Appleby's two newcomers Pursuit Of Love and Sailor Song. You Got To My Soul is no forlorn hope either.

An interesting race in which Charlie Appleby's newcomer PURSUIT OF LOVE gets the vote ahead of Distorted Truth.

Two wins at Southwell this winter and has possibilities if she can rediscover her spark.

Nine-race maiden and he needs a major revival in new headgear.

Havachoc has won his last three outings and must enter calculations, but narrow preference is for the less exposed VELVET RED. Charlie Clover's filly won going away on her handicap debut over C&D last month and, with the promise of more to come, she is fancied to defy a 5lb rise in the ratings. Prince Achille has a squeak with his sights lowered, while Seraphic and The Corporate Guy are each-way contenders.

The vote goes to the progressive HAVACHOC, who completed a hat-trick with his cosy win at Newcastle 13 days ago.

Peak effort could be misleading and down the field on last month's stable/handicap debut.

Bath nursery win last September but this winter's two AW runs need bettering.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -144%) Rotokura Belle		11 11/1(-144%)																															(2) Rotokura Belle 11/1, Squeezed out early and fair effort off a break when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; suited by 5f, acts on a sound surface; quite small, form in and out but mark still looks fair. C&D winner last September; 5th behind Love Alive on seasonal return; may be sharper today.

No progress for handicapping after a wind op; now drops to 5f for the first time.

CONTORNO justified strong market support when striking on his second handicap start at Newcastle and with the third and fourth from that contest winning since, he could double up off a 4lb higher mark. Alistair Rawlinson got a good tune out of Love Alive at Wolverhampton earlier this month and hopefully she can prove that 22/1 success was no fluke. Call Margot remains unexposed and may improve for dropping in class.

Contorno won in game fashion at Newcastle but a 1lb rise may not prevent LOVE ALIVE from following up her Wolverhampton success.
