13:10 Ayr (Class 1) 16f - 7 Run Speed Edge Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (10/3 -11%) Sans Bruit	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(4) Sans Bruit 10/3, Jumped well, ran to form when 11l third in Red Rum Handicap Chase at Aintree most recent run; effective 2m, best on a sound surface; fair chance if building on latest. Ran well in his favourite Aintree race recently and he can make another bold bid.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +61%) Traprain Law	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(3) Traprain Law 7/2, Ran to form, just flattening out late up in trip when beaten 3l off this mark at Musselburgh last time; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; should go well again. Runner-up in this race two years ago and in good heart this term; could have part to play.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +42%) Le Nez Creux	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(5) Le Nez Creux 7/2, Yard won this last year; wasn't quite good enough up in trip/grade when comfortably held in a Grade 1 chase at Auteuil last time; effective 2m2f-2m6f with cut; ex-French, retains lots of potential for new top Irish yard. 2-4 over fences in France; acquired for 320,000euros; Irish stable won this race last year.
7	7 (7) (11/2 +21%) Moudan	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(7) Moudan 11/2, Ran to form, well placed in race dominated from front when second beaten 10l off 127 at Fairyhouse last time, 3lb higher here; enjoys making it; effective 2m with cut; progressing over fences. In good form in Irish handicaps on his last two starts and he's entitled to respect.
6	6 (6) (13/2 -117%) Palacio	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(6) Palacio 13/2, Improved back down in trip under positive handling when landing a handicap by 5l off a 6lb lower mark at Newbury last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; inconsistent due to jumping issues but capable of another big run. He's had his ups and downs but made it 2-5 over fences when winning at Newbury latest.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -33%) Calico	8 8/1(-33%)	(2) Calico 8/1, Taken on up front and made too much use of when down the field in Grand Annual Challenge Cup at Cheltenham most recent; trainer in form; effective 2m on soft and good; consistent, just above last win mark. Two wins last autumn and mid-division in the Grand Annual last time; this isn't as hot.
1	1 (1) (16/1 -100%) Matata	16 16/1(-100%)	(1) Matata 16/1, Pulled up over National fences in Topham Handicap Chase at Aintree latest; effective at 2m-2m5f, acts on any; drop in trip back over regulation fences might suit. Pulled up mid-race in the Topham but this is a lower grade than he's used to contesting.

LTO Selection:

CALICO is consistent over fences and is capable of better than he managed in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham. His most recent form prior to that blip has a solid appearance and he looks worth chancing. Sans Bruit and Traprain Law also hold solid claims based on their peak efforts, although Palacio's recent win at Newbury proved that he can be a serious player when he gets it right. The Sam Thomas-trained gelding could be a bigger danger with improvement likely.

Preference is for Irish challenger MOUDAN, who has been in good form on his last two starts and could still have more to offer.

13:17 Bangor (Class 4) 16f - 13 Run Speed Edge Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
8	8 (8) (4/5 +60%) Senator	0.8 4/5(+60%)	(8) Senator 4/5, Ran to form, fine ride taking lead from rival who was doing plenty in front when winning a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen by 1 1/4l last time; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft; steadily progressive over hurdles since move from France, good chance here. Market Rasen winner who was a late withdrawal from an Ascot handicap last month.
1	1 (1) (3/1 -50%) Alsakib	3 3/1(-50%)	(1) Alsakib 3/1, Ran to best to get off the mark after a wind op when winning a maiden hurdle at Musselburgh by 4l last time; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on soft and good to soft; Group winner on the level, more to come over hurdles. Very smart Flat horse; won at Musselburgh despite a slipping saddle.
2	2 (2) (4/1 +11%) Knock Off Soxs	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Knock Off Soxs 4/1, Ran to form, well placed at sharp track, when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Taunton latest; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on good; consistent. Has a chance on the figures back at novice level if he's back on song after last time.
13	13 (13) (16/1 -60%) Tunisya	16 16/1(-60%)	(13) Tunisya 16/1, Travelled but found little having refused to settle when fourth beaten 13l in a Mares hurdle at Wetherby latest; off a short-break; effective 2m1f, acts on heavy; French winner likely capable of much better when settling. French winner on heavy; faded on soft at Wetherby; drier ground may help.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -43%) Static Charm	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Static Charm 20/1, Bit keen but ran to form 8l third in an Amateurs' bumper at Wetherby most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; more to come now hurdling. Shown enough in bumpers to believe he can win races but perhaps not this one.
9	9 (9) (28/1 +44%) Cappa Lass	28 28/1(+44%)	(9) Cappa Lass 28/1, Moderate hurdles debut tried in a hood comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Haydock last time; effective at 3m in points; point form franked, could yet improve over hurdles. Hooded for hurdle debut at Haydock (good) and was tailed off under Harry Cobden.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -83%) Laristote	33 33/1(-83%)	(4) Laristote 33/1, Improved after a wind op/having tongue-tie fitted when fourth beaten 9l in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield latest; effective around 2m on good; unlucky in a point, may have more to offer over hurdles. Latest RPR was nothing to shout about and he'll need more here.
3	3 (3) (50/1 0%) L'hybris Is Born	50 50/1(0%)	(3) L'hybris Is Born 50/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Fakenham P-T-P Course latest; returning from a break; effective at 3m in points; bit to prove on rules debut. Very opposable on his pointing exploits.
5	5 (5) (50/1 -100%) Phantom Gold	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Phantom Gold 50/1, Did plenty wrong, below form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield last time; effective at 2m1f on good; bumper and point winner, may have more to offer over hurdles. Bumper winner but tailed off on hurdle debut after a mammoth absence.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -52%) Saxon Cross	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Saxon Cross 50/1, Needed run on hurdles debut when down the field in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; may want further in time. Weak in the betting and tailed off on hurdle/stable debut at Huntingdon.
10	10 (10) (50/1 -127%) Anxious Moments	50 50/1(-127%)	(10) Anxious Moments 50/1, Yet to be asked for his effort when unseating after four out in a maiden point at Knockanohill on debut; joined good connections and is respected on rules debut. Running well when unseating four out in an Irish point last month.
11	11 (11) (66/1 -100%) Chico Magnifica	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Chico Magnifica 66/1, Again below form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby most recent; multiple Flat winner can improve when ridden more positively over hurdles. No sign of good Flat ability over hurdles and probably one for handicaps.
12	12 (12) (100/1 -52%) Karthala	100 100/1(-52%)	(12) Karthala 100/1, Outpaced, too much to do, modest debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon last time; maiden on Flat, improvement likely over hurdles. Modest Flat maiden who offered little on hurdle debut at Huntingdon two weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

ALSAKIB did well to score on his latest start at Musselburgh as the saddle slipped after an untidy leap at the final flight. He seemed to appreciate dropping back in trip on that occasion and further improvement in this sphere appears likely. Knock Off Soxs hasn't quite gone on as expected after winning at Taunton in December and it may be that the main threat comes from Senator, who struck at Market Rasen in February and remains capable of better.

Jamie Snowden's Market Rasen winner SENATOR was a late withdrawal from a traditionally strong 4yo handicap at Ascot last month.

13:25 Newbury (Class 1) 7f - 15 Run Speed Edge Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
13	13 (13) (6/4 +25%) Touleen	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(13) Touleen 6/4, Ran to form up in class though looked uncomfortable on the fast ground beaten 5 1/4l in Rockfel Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket; suited by 7f, all form on fast ground but moves as if easier surface would suit better;strong, quality type, open to progress at 3yo. Gained two stylish wins, including over C&D, prior to an excusable defeat in the Rockfel.
2	2 (2) (6/1 -20%) Catching The Moon	6 6/1(-20%)	(2) Catching The Moon 6/1, Improved again up in class when winning Firth Of Clyde (Group 3) at Ayr by a neck; effective 5-6f, acts on good and fast ground; more to come. Listed win at Ayr took record to 211; progressive and has a leading chance on form.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +20%) K Sarra	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) K Sarra 8/1, Penny dropped late and won going away when 2 1/2l winner in a novice at Southwell on debut; gets 1m well, acts on AW; good-topped filly, open to marked improvement. Related to winners for her connections; scored comfortably at Southwell; promising.
15	15 (15) (12/1 +0%) Zooming	12 12/1(+0%)	(15) Zooming 12/1, Improved from debut up in trip when winning a novice at Newmarket by a neck last time; wide draw; effective 7f as 2yo, bred to get 10f, acts on easy ground (suits action); big filly, should progress, perhaps as upped in trip. Ties in with Splish Splash on debut form; won at Newmarket next time; one to consider.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +13%) Stimulative Trip	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Stimulative Trip 14/1, Going away pushed out when 2l winner in a novice here on debut; effective 7f, only start on fast ground; good bit to come. Recorded a tidy win over C&D in sole 2yo start; promising and intriguing contender.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +30%) Sukanya	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Sukanya 14/1, Disappointed down the field in Rockfel Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket; in good form prior; effective 7f, may get further, acts on yielding and fast ground; good efforts at Group 3 level at two looking like may want at least a mile as 3yo. Returned to Newbury on reappearance, this may be the time to catch her.
14	14 (14) (16/1 -14%) Zaravina	16 16/1(-14%)	(14) Zaravina 16/1, Good effort runner-up beaten a short-head in a fillies & mares race at Deauville only start; effective 7f, bred to get about 10f, acts on soft; plenty to come. Nearly justified favouritism in Deauville contest; interesting with progress likely.
10	10 (10) (16/1 +52%) Splish Splash	16 16/1(+52%)	(10) Splish Splash 16/1, Ran to form when 4l third in Bosra Sham Fillies' Stakes (Listed) at Newmarket; effective 6/7f, all races on good; quite smart filly, may have reached level though. Solid effort on final 2yo start, only one place behind the subsequent Nell Gwyn winner.
7	7 (7) (18/1 -50%) Princess Petrol	18 18/1(-50%)	(7) Princess Petrol 18/1, Ran to form upped to a mile when fourth beaten 3 1/4l in Prix d'Aumale (Group 2) at Longchamp last time; hood first time; stays 1m, acts on any, fast ground may suit best; high-class juvenile, still open to progress. Gained her novice win at Ascot then showed Group form; rating is respectable.
1	1 (1) (18/1 +10%) Blingy's Sister	18 18/1(+10%)	(1) Blingy's Sister 18/1, Found out up in class beaten 8l in Oh So Sharp Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket last time; effective 6f, should stay further, acts on yielding and soft; big, athletic filly, looked talented first two starts. Consistent last term, without managing to add to debut win; needs improvement.
3	3 (3) (20/1 -100%) Domina Ignis	20 20/1(-100%)	(3) Domina Ignis 20/1, Keen and touch green but outclassed rivals just pushed out 5l winner in a novice at Southwell on debut; hood first time; trainer in form; effective 6f, should get a bit further, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit; open to marked improvement. Form of emphatic win at Southwell has received a few boosts; brings potential.
9	9 (9) (20/1 -25%) Spinning Lizzie	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Spinning Lizzie 20/1, Had to come the long way around and a bit better than bare form when winning a fillies & fares race at Kempton by a neck last time; wide draw; effective 7/8f, acts on any; likeable. Fighting fit, having beaten Ellusive Butterfly at Kempton on AW/seasonal debut.
4	4 (4) (22/1 +33%) Ellusive Butterfly	22 22/1(+33%)	(4) Ellusive Butterfly 22/1, Game effort, probably improving up to 1m when second beaten a neck in a fillies & fares race at Kempton latest; effective 7/8f, acts on soft and AW; likeable but may have plateaued. Neck second to Spinning Lizzie at Kempton last time; stiffer task back on turf.
8	8 (8) (33/1 +18%) Silenciosa	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Silenciosa 33/1, Little bit green once clear and better than bare form 3/4l winner in a novice at Southwell on debut; returning from a break; stays 7f well, get further, acts on AW; big filly, plenty to come. Won with something to spare at Southwell but needs major progress to follow up.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -32%) Figjam	66 66/1(-32%)	(5) Figjam 66/1, Game effort probably improving a fraction when second beaten 1 1/2l in Prospect Stakes (Listed) at Doncaster; effective 5/6f, may enjoy 7f, acts on heavy and good; big filly, likeable attitude. Nice prospect for Katie Scott but this looks a difficult reappearance assignment.

LTO Selection:

Guineas hope TOULEEN created a striking impression in a pair of maiden/novice wins here and at Leicester last year before she was unable to justify favouritism in the Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket. That clearly wasn't her true running as she'd previously thumped Zanthos at Leicester, and she can get back on track. Catching The Moon was progressive as a juvenile and looked a smart filly when winning an Ayr Group 3, so she's noted along with K Sarra and Zooming.

The each-way suggestion is SPLISH SPLASH, ahead of Zooming who ties in with that filly. Touleen is greatly respected.

1	1 (1) (10/11 -9%) Bai Tong	0.909091 10/11(-9%)	(1) Bai Tong 10/11, Yard has won last two runnings of race; 27 Mar; 125,000gns Blue Point filly; half-sister to Media Legend, useful at 7f; dam very smart from 5f (at 2yo) to 6f; likely to go well on debut. 125,000gns yearling; out of multiple winner at 5f-7f on AW; yard won last 2 runnings.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +5%) Silesia	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(6) Silesia 10/3, 24 Feb; £120,000 Zoustar filly; half-sister to Kamakameleon, smart at 5f; dam very smart at 7f as a 2yo, likely to be yards first string, good chance on debut. £120,000 yearling; has possibilities on pedigree; yard also runs Moonlight Tango.
5	5 (5) (5/1 -25%) Niewiadoma	5 5/1(-25%)	(5) Niewiadoma 5/1, 8 Apr; £40,000 Cotai Glory filly; half-sister to Lady Cassien, useful at 6f; dam very useful at 5f; yard good with 2yo debutants, probably best watched on debut. April foal; dam 5f-winning half-sister to smart sprinter Liberty Beach; market can guide.
2	2 (2) (10/1 +17%) Havana Gift	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Havana Gift 10/1, 1 Feb; £46,000 Havana Grey filly; dam useful at 5f at 2yo; yard amongst the winners, will probably be one to build on the experience after this. Good sprinting connections; yard's first 2yo runner; has possibilities.
4	4 (4) (10/1 +17%) Moonlight Tango	10 10/1(+17%)	(4) Moonlight Tango 10/1, 23 Jan; 17,000gns Dream Ahead filly; half-sister to Rocket Money, very useful at 5f; dam useful at 7f at 2yo; looks an unlikely winner on debut. 17,000gns yearling; dam bred winning sprinters; yard had winning newcomer here last week.
3	3 (3) (20/1 +39%) Lake Muritz	20 20/1(+39%)	(3) Lake Muritz 20/1, 25 Feb; Oasis Dream filly; half-sister to Bebside, fair at 10f; dam fair at 7f; yard not particularly firing at present, looks an unlikely winner on debut. No sign as yet that the yard's juveniles are forward; others look more likely this time.

LTO Selection:

The market may prove the best guide in this novice heat full of newcomers, but Karl Burke usually has his juveniles forward enough to do themselves justice at this time of year and BAI TONG gets the nod on that basis for last year's winning handler. Kevin Ryan saddled a juvenile winner at this track eight days ago so his pair Silesia and Moonlight Tango are also very interesting.

Karl Burke, already off the mark with 2yos, has won the last two runnings and he may be able to provide the answer with BAI TONG.

10	10 (10) (3/1 +10%) Diamond Dealer	3 3/1(+10%)	(10) Diamond Dealer 3/1, Yard has won 2 of last 9 runnings of race; improved, suited by positive ride down in trip when landing a Novices' Handicap Chase by 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Kelso last time; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by decent ground; progressing over fences. 3-5 over fences and he's clearly on the up for his top trainer; player.
3	3 (3) (5/1 +33%) Kdeux Saint Fray	5 5/1(+33%)	(3) Kdeux Saint Fray 5/1, Unsuited by drop in trip when down the field in Jack Richards Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Grade 2) at Cheltenham most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; progressing over fences. Inconvenienced by the start at Cheltenham; retains potential, especially left-handed.
14	14 (14) (6/1 +40%) Big John Wayne	6 6/1(+40%)	(14) Big John Wayne 6/1, Did it easily, improved under positive handling at stiffer track when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Hexham last time; effective 2m4f-3m with cut; much more to come over fences. Lightly raced 8yo who won at Hexham and the step up in trip could be a positive move.
4	4 (4) (7/1 +36%) Milcree	7 7/1(+36%)	(4) Milcree 7/1, Never travelled, reportedly bled when pulled up in a handicap chase latest; trainer in form; effective 2m4f-2m6f, suited by plenty of cut; progressive until latest, mark fair, could bounce back. Won his first two chase starts; pulled up at Uttoxeter last time but remains of interest.
13	13 (13) (15/2 +32%) I Wish You	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(13) I Wish You 15/2, Outpaced but rallied, improved up in trip when landing a handicap by a short-head off a 7lb lower mark at Wetherby last time; off a short-break; best at 3m, acts with cut; consistent. The form of his Wetherby win was franked and he's in good hands to continue to progress.
15	15 (15) (10/1 +50%) Blakey Boy	10 10/1(+50%)	(15) Blakey Boy 10/1, Was well treated, improved in landing a Handicap Chase by 2 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Kelso last time; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on good to soft and good; workable mark and still open to improvement as a chaser but this is tougher. Has won his last two; this is tougher but this 6yo may have more left in the tank.
12	12 (12) (11/1 +31%) Caughtinyourtrance	11 11/1(+31%)	(12) Caughtinyourtrance 11/1, Outpaced, rallied, improved even though unsuited by drop in trip beaten 3l off this mark at Uttoxeter last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; back in form, mark fair. Ran well in defeat last month in his first two chases and he's an each-way possible.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +0%) Young Jack	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Young Jack 12/1, Bit keen but improved to get off the mark in good style back up in trip when landing a handicap by 6l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective up to 3m, acts on heavy and good; progressing over fences, good chance here. He's enjoyed a progressive first season over fences and did it nicely at Newcastle latest.
5	5 (5) (12/1 +14%) Al Kalila	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Al Kalila 12/1, Returned to form back down in trip landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Kelso last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m4f-3m; generally consistent, can go well. Won at Kelso last time but beat only three rivals and further improvement is needed.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +25%) Gamesters Guy	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Gamesters Guy 12/1, Ran to form even though turned over tried in a tongue-tie when second beaten 13l in a novice chase at Haydock latest; effective 2m4f-3m on soft and good; consistent, needs to jump better. Good form when winning two-runner novice chase in December but hasn't kicked on since.
11	11 (11) (12/1 -200%) Just Over Land	12 12/1(-200%)	(11) Just Over Land 12/1, Ran to form but flattened out up the hill, poorly placed in race dominated from front 4l third in a handicap chase at Sandown most recent run; effective 2m-2m5f, acts on heavy and good; consistent. 3rd at Sandown despite mistakes; this trip is worth a go; could go well if finding fluency.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +44%) Pounding Poet	14 14/1(+44%)	(8) Pounding Poet 14/1, Travelled, flattened out late but ran to form back chasing when 5l third in a handicap chase at Newbury most recent run; returning from a break; effective at around 3m, suited by sound surface; in fair form, unexposed over fences. 10yo who ran pretty well when back over fences in December but needs a bigger run today.
9	9 (9) (20/1 +20%) Walking On Air	20 20/1(+20%)	(9) Walking On Air 20/1, Step back in right direction dropped in trip when second beaten 16l in a novice chase at Fakenham latest; visor first time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; on a good mark and may be suited by step back up in trip. Third at Doncaster in January but below par on his next two starts; wears first-time visor.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +0%) Ayiko	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Ayiko 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts with cut; consistent over hurdles and fences until latest. Pulled up at Fairyhouse just 12 days ago but the return to a left-handed track could help.

LTO Selection:

Dan Skelton has won this twice in recent times and can add a third name to the roll call with DIAMOND DEALER, who is noted as a progressive chaser competing on the back of his best effort so far. The game winner of a similar event at Kelso last month, this improving seven-year-old must have every chance of following up off just 3lb higher. Kdeux Saint Fray is dangerous to underestimate, despite a no show in a bustling event at Cheltenham. Last-time-out winners I Wish You, Big John Wayne and Young Jack all command respect.

There could be a big turnaround from Ayiko but KDEUX SAINT FRAY was looking good prior to his forgiveable defeat at Cheltenham.

1	1 (1) (5/2 +44%) Streamsforth Lad	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(1) Streamsforth Lad 5/2, Ran to form beaten 1/2l off this mark at Hexham last time; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; more to come over fences if jumping improves. Runner-up to well backed and well handicapped winners in last two races; big shout.
7	7 (7) (11/2 +45%) Peckforton Hills	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(7) Peckforton Hills 11/2, Beaten 2l off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective at 2m1f-2m4f, may get bit further, acts on soft; progressing, can do better judged on bumper form now chasing. Placed in last three hurdle races and clearly a contender if taking to fences.
8	8 (8) (7/1 +13%) Black Occ	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Black Occ 7/1, Improved from debut beaten 3l off a 2lb lower mark at Hereford last time; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good; chase mark could be generous based on hurdles efforts. More appealing than a good many after finishing runner-up at Hereford last time.
5	5 (5) (9/1 -50%) El Rojo Grande	9 9/1(-50%)	(5) El Rojo Grande 9/1, Improved up in trip suited by positive ride at sharp track landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Warwick last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on heavy and good; in fine form but mark creeping up. Experienced chaser and 4-15; a winner last time out over 2m4f; some stamina worries.

Jumped moderately when beaten 25l on chase debut two runs back; poor since over hurdles.

Running well when falling at Sedgefield, though he wouldn't have won.

Showed a bit more last time when beaten 8l in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Stratford.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -100%) Shuile Warrior	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Shuile Warrior 50/1, Another poor run when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Haydock last time; effective at 3m in points; point winner hasn't shown much under rules but fences could help. Only 1-8 in points; no worthwhile form under rules and now makes chase debut.

LTO Selection:

El Rojo Grande has enjoyed a fine season with four victories, including on his latest start at Warwick, although he has questions to answer with regards to stamina. Streamsforth Lad was runner-up over C&D on his penultimate start, finishing a place ahead of SUBTLE FORTUNE. He backed that run up when filling the same position at Hexham on Monday, but Mel Rowley's mare has every chance of reversing the form coming into this a fresher horse.

An open handicap. With his jumping improving STREAMSFORTH LAD has been running well behind winners who were well treated.

Landed three major 2yo races prior to respectable effort in the Dewhurst; the form pick.
1	1 (1) (11/4 +8%) Albert Einstein	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(1) Albert Einstein 11/4, Disappointing return looking to need the race badly after long absence when beaten 5l in Gladness Stakes (Listed) at The Curragh; hood first time; effective 6f at 2yo, should get further, fast ground may not suit action; big, attractive colt, something to prove now. Highly regarded colt who looks set to leave his Curragh reappearance effort behind.

Money-spinner during a busy 2yo campaign but isn't sure to progress any further.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +0%) Aqpan	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Aqpan 33/1, Good attitude and ran at least to form off a break when winning a maiden at Southwell by 2 1/4l last time; gets at least 7f, acts on AW; smart, likeable and possibly more to come. Brings a solid AW record but faces a much stiffer assignment on turf debut.

LTO Selection:

Albert Einstein was the talking horse going into the Curragh three weeks ago but he fluffed his lines in Listed company and now has something to prove, a remark that doesn't apply to TITLE ROLE, who may represent some value against the Irish raider. He might be able to show the benefit of having wintered in the Dubai sunshine and his form stacks up too, as he beat this week's Newmarket winner and the well-regarded Talk Of New York in the Jumeirah 2000 Guineas at Meydan. It was one race too many for the National Stakes winner Zavateri in the Dewhurst but that was still a creditable effort in fourth and he's noted.

The thoroughly likeable ZAVATERI sets the standard. Title Role and Albert Einstein are likely to be the biggest dangers.

LTO Selection:

Gavin Cromwell and Gordon Elliott have landed the two previous renewals of this race and field OLE OLE and Manoir De Mirande respectively. The former gets a first-time hood after falling three out in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival. Prior to that, he posted three close second-places and he should be on the premises. Manoir De Mirande has shown a fondness for testing ground in being placed in his last three starts. He is rated 3lb inferior to Ole Ole, yet has to give him 8lb under the terms of this race. Cromwell also runs newcomer Messire Des Bordes, who has an entry in the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival.

A runner-up in all three Irish starts before falling in the Fred Winter, OLE OLE avoids a penalty and looks the most likely winner

LTO Selection:

If INISHBEG can run up to his rating of 87 he ought to go very close to winning a maiden like this. He's had a pipe-opener on the all-weather at Newcastle and was last seen on the turf at Redcar finishing second to a potentially smart horse in Yazin. Advance Twentyfive is rated 84 and, with more experience than the selection, he won't go down without a fight, while Weffaag is noted for a top Newmarket yard.

Advance Twentyfive sets the standard but INISHBEG gives the impression there's still a fair bit of improvement to come.

LTO Selection:

Tellherthename has been quite highly tried and can have a big say if a first-time hood draws some improvement. However, CAPTAIN HUGO has proven to be tough to overhaul when he gets into a battle and, having readily atoned for a fall on his penultimate start with a game success at Kelso most recently, this progressive six-year-old has enough scope to deal with stepping up in class. Conversely, Tutti Quanti steps down a grade after finding the Champion Hurdle out of his reach last month. This is more attainable and he should be a key player back on softer ground.

Having caught the eye when 12th in the County Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last month, TELLHERTHENAME earns the vote.

3	3 (3) (18/1 -13%) Johnny Moonshine	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Johnny Moonshine 18/1, Never travelling up in trip when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Carlisle last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on soft; too bad to be true latest, longer trip here might help. Outclassed by the best of these judged on what he's shown in a bumper and two maidens.
4	4 (4) (33/1 0%) Patrick's Wells	33 33/1(0%)	(4) Patrick's Wells 33/1, Improved quite a bit from a modest hurdles debut when 16l third in a maiden hurdle at Carlisle most recent run; effective at 3m in points, 2m3f under rules; going the right way but need more. A remote third two weeks ago when returning from a long absence.

LTO Selection:

It is possible that Reckless Spending found a relatively quick turnaround against him when down the field in the Prestige at Haydock in February. Despite the fact he has been freshened up, he may be better suited by going right-handed, so PARK PRINCESS is preferred. A Listed winner on her penultimate start at Doncaster, this is a much easier task than she encountered in the Albert Bartlett and she can end her season on a high. Pottersville heads the remainder.

None of these ran particularly well last time but RECKLESS SPENDING clearly failed to give his true running in a Grade 2.

Ran well only once last term; gelded since; ring-rusty on 2025 reappearance in this race.
7	7 (7) (7/1 +56%) Tenability	7 7/1(+56%)	(7) Tenability 7/1, Progressed again up in class when second beaten 6l in Cumberland Lodge Stakes (Group 3) at Ascot; effective 10f, 12f may suit better, acts on any; on a significant upward trajectory in 2025. Did well last term; his form is not what's required to win this but he brings potential.

LTO Selection:

Al Aasy won this in 2021 and, although he's a veteran performer these days, you couldn't rule him out given he boasts figures of 4-9 at this track. Phantom Flight has won here before too and is another to consider, while Pride Of Arras did the Dante/Great Voltigeur double at York last season and also commands respect. CONVERGENT just edges the vote as he's the highest rated of these and ended last season in good form winning at Leopardstown and Longchamp before a lacklustre effort in Germany, which can be forgiven.

2025 for PRIDE OF ARRAS had two peaks and a huge trough but his Group 2 wins at York suggest he's a likely winner of this race.

Reserve; 0-9 in points and moderate maiden hurdle form.

LTO Selection:

A chance is taken on STICKTOTHESCRIPT in first-time blinkers. He caught the eye with a trio of fourth places in maiden hurdles that have thrown up winners and there should be more to come from him. Glenrush Bay couldn't land a glove on an impressive winner of a Thurles maiden hurdle, but finished well clear of the remainder. His latest outing saw him finish a fair fourth in a rated novice hurdle at Cork in January. Laxxio didn't appear to stay when pulled up over an extended 2m4f in Gowran Park, but should be a factor back over this trip. Daisy Fingall took a step forward by posting a runner-up finish in Limerick, while Zuzukel is another eyeing prize money.

Absolutely wide open, but Frankel gelding ZUZUKEL has the form to win a race of this nature and gets the tentative nod

LTO Selection:

IRIS DANCER gets just a tentative vote in a competitive sprint handicap as she performed well for the silver medal on her return to fray at Pontefract, an outing she's entitled to have come forward for. Mr Dreamseller will no doubt prove popular given his unexposed profile and rightly so. The Wolverhampton winner joins Stirrup Cup and Pal Joey on the shortlist.

Perhaps not so competitive as the numbers suggest. STIRRUP CUP ran well over C&D eight days ago and could be the answer.

Disappointing at Chepstow in February but in very good heart previously and not ruled out.

LTO Selection:

Listed winner World Of Fortunes is burdened with top weight back in a handicap. Twistthenightaway is preferred as she bids for a hat-trick, while last year's third Fox's Fancy could feature again only 2lb higher. However, a chance is taken on the progressive PRINCESS KERI. The latter proved today's distance was well within her compass when finishing a respectable second at Chepstow last time and she could have more to offer reunited with Harry Cobden.

Topweight WORLD OF FORTUNES was a commanding winner of a Listed race at Kelso last month and can follow up back in a handicap.

Hard to make a case after finishing tailed off when 40-1 for his handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

KILLYCARN arrives on the back of an improved display at Musselburgh. He rallied well to finish a determined second and remains of interest with Oscar Palmer's 7lb allowance helping his cause. Lejo Du Seuil also found one too good last time - over 2m at Huntingdon - and this extra yardage could prove to his liking. He rates the main danger, unless a recent wind operation sparks improvement in They Want Me, who also makes his handicap debut.

A chance is taken on THEY WANT ME who goes up in trip for his handicap debut on the back of a wind operation.

21	21 (21) (50/1 +0%) Samuel Colt	50 50/1(+0%)	(21) Samuel Colt 50/1, Ran poorly only two starts in 2025 but had excuses; effective 7/8f, form on heavy and soft; smart in 2024, unpredictable but could be dangerously well treated at the weights.

Mostly well held last year; falling in the weights but needs to turn over a new leaf.
4	4 (4) (80/1 -100%) Ozat	80 80/1(-100%)	(4) Ozat 80/1, Below form on heavy well beaten in Listed race at Strasbourg latest; suited by 7/8f, acts on soft and good; arguably on an attractive mark based on Group form; seasonal debut. Previously trained in France where he won four times; makes British debut in a warm race.

LTO Selection:

Urban Lion kept Rogue Diplomat at bay by the barest of margins to claim Lincoln glory and there should be little between them again. A trip to the Curragh for the Irish Lincolnshire didn't pay off for Whip Cracker, although better is expected now he has that run under his belt. BACK IN BLACK doesn't have the advantage of a previous outing in 2026, but he was so good fresh when successful at this meeting 12 months ago and held his form well afterwards. A gelding operation during his winter break could help inspire even more improvement. Fifth Column, Shout and last year's winner Ebt's Guard are just a few more to consider.

Fifth Column is respected but SHOUT (nap) did not get the rub of the green in the Lincoln and now looks ready to strike.

Bolted up at Sligo before two tailed off finishes; break may have helped but hard to trust.

LTO Selection:

FIVER FRIDAY couldn't be returning to hurdling in better form having landed a valuable Flat handicap in the Curragh. Her last couple of runner-up berths in this sphere were in higher grades so she looks the one to beat. Cleopatra's Needle ran a stormer in second on her comeback run on the Flat in Leopardstown. On her penultimate start, she landed a good pot in a handicap hurdle at last year's Galway Festival. She merits plenty of respect, but there is a nagging doubt over the ground as she is a good-ground mare. Theflyingbee has gone well at this track before and will appreciate conditions, while top-weight Disco Dancer brings plenty of experience to proceedings.

A comfortable Flat winner earlier this month, FIVER FRIDAY (nap) has also posted some nice runs over hurdles and has a big chance

Six wins last season; returns from nine months off but still relatively unexposed at 7f.

LTO Selection:

Having made a triumphant stable debut at Doncaster 20 days ago, there should be more to come from MELVIN UDALL. The four-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 5lb higher mark is surmountable and he's fancied to follow up. U Sure Do ended last year's campaign with a close-up second at Musselburgh and the market may guide on his return to action. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from the race-fit Alpha Capture, who has filled the frame on both outings this season.

Melvin Udall is solid but BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU ran a fine race over C&D last September, a run that offered hope of a fair bit better.

16	16 (16) (28/1 +44%) Collectors Item	28 28/1(+44%)	(16) Collectors Item 28/1, Pulled up in Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter latest; effective up to 3m4f, acts on any but better ground may suit; inconsistent, back below last winning mark. Too often disappointing in major long-distance handicaps for him to be greatly fancied.
10	10 (10) (80/1 +20%) Stolen Silver	80 80/1(+20%)	(10) Stolen Silver 80/1, Outpaced, never threatened off stiff mark when down the field in Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham most recent; effective 2m4f-3m; needs to prove ability remains. Seemingly nothing like the force of old; not proven beyond 3m either.

LTO Selection:

Last month's Cheltenham winner Ask Brewster and the runner-up Road To Home lock horns once again with the former fancied to confirm superiority. Isaac Des Obeaux landed the Midlands National over 4m2f at Uttoxeter in fine style and is preferred to stablemate Quebecois, but MONTREGARD takes the eye. He has to prove he stays this far, but that shouldn't be an issue on the evidence of his latest victory over 3m at Ascot and Tom Lacey's progressive chaser looks the type to make a bold bid for this valuable prize raised only 4lb.

King Of Answers may be best of those who ran at Cheltenham, but Montregard and CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES (nap) are preferred.

Encouraging handicap debut 14 days ago after an absence; should be sharper now.

LTO Selection:

EREMENKO opened her account over timber in a maiden hurdle on good going at Plumpton recently. Nicky Henderson's mare easily landed the odds and, with underfoot conditions remaining in her favour, she may well prove better than her opening mark. I C U In My Dreams also makes her handicap bow after scoring nicely at Newcastle and that looks stronger form than Las Canals' victory at Sedgefield.

Easy Plumpton winner EREMENKO is a close relative to the smart Doddiethegreat and she can make a successful handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

King Of Earth offered plenty of encouragement when runner-up on his debut here, but had to settle for the same position when sent off favourite for his Doncaster comeback. He may have to play another supporting role if, as expected, LIGHTING THUNDER shows natural improvement after getting within a neck of the now 100-rated Spyce on his Yarmouth introduction. Spirit Of Saxony made a pleasing return to the fray at Kempton, while Exclusive Code has been off since Glorious Goodwood but his fourth placings there and at this venue showed he has an engine.

Yarmouth runner-up LIGHTING THUNDER is taken to go one better. King Of Earth is feared most.

His poor Clonmel run last time might have come too soon after a better effort there.

LTO Selection:

SOMETHING NOBLE effectively competes off 1lb lower than when winning at Limerick last month as Eoghan Finegan is able to utilise his 7lb claim in this race. He is now two from three over flights and looks nicely treated. Galavanting George has been placed in his two handicap hurdles and is hunting another cheque. Dairy Force is on a recovery mission after falling at the fourth flight when favourite at Down Royal last Sunday. He has been expensive for punters to follow this year, but there is another day in him. Darragh O'Keeffe comes in for the ride on Kinturk Nelson, who is far from out of contention.

GALAVANTING GEORGE looks the most solid option after two decent efforts the last twice. He looks the yard's pick.

No impact in 3 runs for new connections; on a winning mark but only of interest if backed.

LTO Selection:

Narmar looked more than capable of picking up a race judged on last summer's efforts, but he would make more appeal over further than today's 7f trip. With that in mind, IT'SNEVERJUSTONE could prove the port of call after finishing a good fourth on his return at Doncaster last month. Newcastle third Mudamer also boasts a recent run and is a feasible alternative.

A market move for Green Pursuit would be of interest but MUDAMER looks the safer option in a trappy race.

2	2 (2) (11/4 -10%) Deedaydiva	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(2) Deedaydiva 11/4, Ran well on debut at Newmarket and put that experience to good use, winning nicely when upped in class landing a maiden at Sandown by 2l last time; up in trip; good chance on turf debut. Useful form when winning over 7f at Sandown (soft) in August; has 1,000 Guineas entry.
1	1 (1) (10/3 +26%) Botagoz	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(1) Botagoz 10/3, Going away a fraction at the line on good debut 1 1/4l winner in a novice at Kempton on debut; returning from a break; wide draw; effective 7f, will get further, acts on AW; quality type and more to come on turf debut. 260,000euros yearling; picked up nicely for 7f AW win on debut; extra 1f can suit.

Well-connected newcomer from respected yard; solid standard to aim at; needs market check.

Showed plenty in 2 of first 3 runs, but disappointing on AW when last seen in October.

Out of a Listed winner at 1m; from a top yard and the market can guide..
11	11 (11) (28/1 -100%) Tashi Delek	28 28/1(-100%)	(11) Tashi Delek 28/1, Very disappointing debut, but built on that initial effort when second beaten 4l in a maiden at Yarmouth latest; hood first time; trainer in form; bred to stay at least 1m, action will suit sound surfaces; extremely nice type, must do better.

Italian Listed/Group winners close up in pedigree but likely to benefit from this debut.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -122%) Palace Artois	40 40/1(-122%)	(9) Palace Artois 40/1, Minor promise on debut at Leicester and ran to form up in trip, probably needed run comfortably held in a novice at Wolverhampton on reappearance last time; blinkers first time; wide draw; effective 7-8f, acts on good to soft, AW; improvement likely. Very modest form in first two starts; no form claims without a big turnaround for blinkers.
12	12 (12) (66/1 +34%) Tiny Tiger	66 66/1(+34%)	(12) Tiny Tiger 66/1, Poor debut when beaten 24l last of eight at Lingfield; down the field again in a novice at Kempton most recent; bred for 10f plus; major improvement needed to challenge, seems unlikely. Has achieved very little in two 1m starts on AW; looks set for modest handicap mark.
5	5 (5) (100/1 +0%) Cortado Girl	100 100/1(+0%)	(5) Cortado Girl 100/1, Cable Bay filly; was a big price on debut, reluctant before the race and ran poorly when well beaten in a novice at Lingfield only start; wide draw; all to do; probably best left. 125-1 for Lingfield AW debut over 7f in September when never recovering from a slow start.
6	6 (6) (100/1 -25%) Echo Valley	100 100/1(-25%)	(6) Echo Valley 100/1, Out-kicked, and weakened last couple of furlongs beaten 7l in a maiden over 9.5f at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; another drop in trip; small and has looked moderate so far. Well held in two AW maidens (1m3f and about 1m1f) early in the year; handicaps soon.

LTO Selection:

Eskimo Pie's official rating of 90 is tempting to accept on face value and she may well be a class above the rest. However, there is plenty to like about the pedigree of CONCEALED PASSION, who cost 130,000gns and is a half-sister to six winners. Her trainer has an enviable record with unexposed types and this daughter of Night Of Thunder could prove to be a surprise package. As the only previous winners, Deedaydiva and Botagoz are respected, despite picking up 7lb penalties.

The penalised runners Botagoz and DEEDAYDIVA have more to come, particularly the latter, who did so well when winning at Sandown.

Close 4th after a wind op last time; burning question is whether he'll be as good again.

Winner three starts back; back down in grade and with blinkers given a go, he's feared.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +58%) Doyouknowwhatimean	5 5/1(+58%)	(2) Doyouknowwhatimean 5/1, Did plenty early when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap chase here latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; inconsistent for new yard. One of his better runs when beaten 14l here last time but not the percentage call.
5	5 (5) (7/1 +18%) Jorebel	7 7/1(+18%)	(5) Jorebel 7/1, Outpaced, race may have come too soon when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Kempton last time; effective 2m-2m4f, suited by sound surface, acts on soft; handicapper slowly easing. This mark isn't beyond him and returning to a left-handed track looks a good thing.
8	8 (8) (12/1 +57%) Lady Jago	12 12/1(+57%)	(8) Lady Jago 12/1, Needed run well beaten in a handicap chase here latest; usually held up; effective at 2m4f-3m and best on a sound surface; mark keeps easing but needs more. Bought for £10,000 in July and hasn't recaptured her best form for new yard.
1	1 (1) (14/1 -133%) Presentandcounting	14 14/1(-133%)	(1) Presentandcounting 14/1, Unable to dominate beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Carlisle last time; effective 2m4f-3m on sound surface; bounce back needed. In good form last year but since turned 12 and lacking a run might not be ideal.

LTO Selection:

ADMIRAL STEWART showed the benefit of a wind operation at Uttoxeter last month. He finished a creditable fourth in a tougher contest than this and Jamie Snowden's charge looks on a fair mark if building on that effort. Carrigeen Castle produced a strong finish to take second at Hexham and is likely to prove competitive raised only 1lb, while the veteran Presentandcounting has won carrying top weight in the past and drops back in trip with a shout.

Another trappy handicap. MY NOBLE LORDs is downgraded this afternoon and a change of headgear worked wonders three starts ago.

9	9 (9) (50/1 -25%) Queens Secret	50 50/1(-25%)	(9) Queens Secret 50/1, Promising debut under rules when second beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Hexham latest; effective at 2m4f on soft; improvement likely. Point winner & maiden hurdle runner-up; lots to find but very unexposed and in good hands.

LTO Selection:

West Hill Verde brings solid form to the table, not least his latest Kelso third in Grade 2 company, and must be taken seriously, but APACHE TRIBE might have his measure. The impressive Listowel bumper scorer confirmed that promise when easily opening his hurdling account here in February and another bold showing looks assured. Timesareachanging is another to bear in mind.

Having been seriously impressive on his final two runs for Noel Kelly, APACHE TRIBE is taken to make a winning start for Gordon Elliott.

LTO Selection:

Turty Tree was all the rage for his Doncaster reappearance, which isn't that surprising given the promise he showed when second on his Newmarket debut. Those who piled in at odds-on had their fingers burned, though, and while there will be plenty who keep the faith, he is passed over in favour of GLORY OF THE SEAS. A 550,000gns purchase as a yearling, the Sea The Stars colt came within half a length of success at Newcastle first time out and will relish the rise from a mile. Water To Wine's dam won a French Group 2 over 1m4f and he is easily the pick of the newcomers.

Having still seemed green on his reappearance, TURTY TREE may be more polished this time. Glory Of The Seas is respected.

LTO Selection:

STRUCK OIL may be up to winning an open looking affair. The Poet's Word gelding was a well-backed favourite on his last outing at Thurles in November but couldn't make any impression when plugging on into fifth. Going slightly further now should suit and, given the market confidence in him that day, there could be more to come. Boston Bobby was a winner when last seen at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day and he's noted along with Ballinearla Girl.

TROPICAL TWIST was consistent in maidens without winning and, while falling on handicap debut, she can build on that.

In good form until last at Newmarket in October; since gelded and without usual headgear.

Solid Yarmouth fifth final run for Ed Walker; not discounted on stable debut.
10	10 (10) (18/1 +28%) Idyllic	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Idyllic 18/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective 10-12f, acts on S, G and AW; needs to learn to settle better, can run well if doing so. C&D winner but she ended 2025 under something of a cloud; needs to hit the ground running.
12	12 (12) (18/1 -100%) Cougar	18 18/1(-100%)	(12) Cougar 18/1, Continues winning ways, well handicapped at present and running well landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Hamilton last time; effective 12f, suited by cut in ground; remains very well handicapped on old Irish form. Ended 2025 with 1m4f wins at Musselburgh and Hamilton; up 5lb for can make presence felt.

LTO Selection:

The hat-trick seeking Cougar looked capable of better judged on his Hamilton triumph 209 days ago, but he makes his reappearance without the blinkers worn on that occasion. It's probably best to look elsewhere, with DON SIMON topping the list. The five-year-old has been eased a 1lb for last month's runner-up effort at Southwell and the booking of 7lb apprentice Toby Moore catches the eye. Gallivanted and Hackney Diamonds are also worth closer inspection.

It could pay to side with NIGHTSINWHITESATIN (nap) given she ended 2025 on the up and hails from a yard firing in the winners

Dam's side of pedigree suggests longer trips will suit but sire could inject speed.

Bred to be speedy but hood fitted on debut and may be one to watch this time.

LTO Selection:

Hen Party has been consistent in defeat and should again run her race, while Mehmas Engine has shown promise in two previous starts and could have a match-fitness edge. However, EGOTISTICAL looked to take great benefit from her debut run when she filled the runner-up berth behind an odds-on favourite at Newcastle in January. Back over 6f, this daughter of Acclamation has a decent chance of getting off the mark at the third time of asking.

Bintaryana is bred to come on plenty as a 3yo but EGOTISTICAL can improve on a recent strong-finishing 5f run now back at 6f.

Had long spell on the sidelines before struggling in both runs this winter; lots to prove.

LTO Selection:

Speed Davis got back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh but the combination of a longer trip, a 141-day absence and a 6lb rise dampens any enthusiasm for a follow-up success. Of more appeal over this distance is DWIGHT K SCHRUTE, who has abundant stamina and gets the vote based on his more proven reliability. Tiger Orchid and Kintail command respect, although Our Dylan could be a bigger danger after successfully tackling an extended 3m at Wincanton.

Top of the list is DWIGHT K SCHRUTE (nap) who has been progressive in handicaps and was only just caught over 3m2f last time.

LTO Selection:

Irish point-to-point winner KEOPS DES BORDES is a fascinating contender on his return from 473 days off the track. On his stable/Rules debut at Warwick in December 2024, the six-year-old was sent off favourite and finished a fine second to a certain No Drama This End, who ended up finishing ninth in the Champion Bumper that season and has won a Grade 1 over hurdles this term. He'll likely be fit enough to do himself justice given his connections and can get the better of Brady Hartsfield and Skerry Hill.

The one that makes the most appeal is SEA TEMPEST, who shaped well behind two point winners at Southwell.

Sold last July and has been comfortably held since on the Flat and over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

Valedictory is a well-bred gelding who might be well placed for his handicap debut. However, he has been restricted to just three previous starts and encounters more wily characters than when he breezed home in a novice stakes at Chelmsford when last seen. BULLETIN is one who goes well fresh and resumes on turf with the potential to have a big say in a race of this nature. Jupiter Ammon, Something Splendid and Rathgar are others with each-way appeal.

Gosden-trained VALEDICTORY looks the one to turn to, ahead of King Al and Twisting Physics.

Won a 2m4f Wexford handicap last July but lost her way since over hurdles and fences.
15	15 (15) (33/1 -18%) Schiehallion	33 33/1(-18%)	(15) Schiehallion 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; returning from a break; suited by 3m on sound surface; form has tailed off over winter. Maiden fell and pulled-up the last twice so needs to return to best.
19	19 (19) (33/1 -18%) Whatafoolbelieves	33 33/1(-18%)	(19) Whatafoolbelieves 33/1, Again ran to a poor level down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; off a short-break; hard to fancy. Well beaten in four maiden hurdles; up in trip for handicap debut; reserve.

LTO Selection:

There may be a bit more to come from GALLANT GEORGE in cheekpieces and on slightly better ground. The Order Of St George gelding didn't run too badly when fifth in a Navan maiden hurdle last month and looks to be on a fair mark for his handicap debut. His trainer Ian Donoghue also has Midleton Rare, a more experienced gelding who was a solid fourth at Downpatrick last time. Insouciant Dallier is another to consider.

The drying ground could help GANGSTER GRANNY stay a trip which wouldn't be in keeping with her pedigree

Beaten fav in 2 AW runs last month but latest 3rd was a decent effort; chance back on turf.
8	8 (8) (11/2 -10%) Mo Of Cairo	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(8) Mo Of Cairo 11/2, Yard won this last year; ran to form beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark at York last time; effective 5-6f on sound surface; steadily progressing and sure to make a bold bid in this.

Consistent rather than progressive for H Charlton; sold 30,000gns since latest; opposable.
7	7 (7) (11/1 +31%) Rikki Tiki Tavi	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Rikki Tiki Tavi 11/1, Yard won this last year; outclassed and struggled when beaten by 9l in Harry Rosebery Stakes (Listed) at Ayr last time; wide draw; suited by 5f, stays 6f, likes fast ground; very useful and can bounce back down in class. C&D win last August; excuses in stronger races twice after; not fully exposed; yard runs 3.

Peak 2yo effort came on his only attempt at 5f; this should be run to suit; interesting.

13	13 (13) (40/1 -21%) Entailed	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Entailed 40/1, Struggled and too keen throughout when beaten by 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; suited by 5f and a sound surface; mark easing, but still has a bit to prove in a race of this nature. Maiden winner for Andrew Balding; sold 27,000gns in October; looks on a tough mark.

LTO Selection:

MO OF CAIRO didn't quite last home over 6f at York's Ebor meeting on his last start as a juvenile. However, this low-mileage son of Havana Grey could be tough to overhaul with dropping back to the minimum trip very much in his favour based on his previous maiden success at Beverley. Simplify, who cosily won a 6f novice here last September, resumed to complete a brace at Wolverhampton last month. He's a key player off 3lb higher. Fellow hat-trick seeker Merlier and C&D winner Dazzling Haze are other attractive propositions.

There are numerous possibles but THE LOST SOCK may find this a more suitable test than the AW races he was beaten in last month.

LTO Selection:

Rosieisme Darling has been in decent heart on the all-weather of late, supplementing a victory at Lingfield with a respectable third at Wolverhampton. She shouldn't be inconvenienced by a return to turf, but it could be worth taking a chance on FAITHFUL DREAM in first-time cheekpieces. The Dream Ahead colt lurks on a dangerous mark, with Mason Paetel good value for his 5lb claim. Staniel Cay and Maid In Devon are others of interest.

Winning form is in short supply here but ROSIEISME DARLING did just that at Lingfield in February. She is preferred to Staniel Cay.

LTO Selection:

Nicky Henderson introduces an appealing newcomer in the shape of LONGLANDS, who was bought for 36,000 euros as a foal before fetching 110,000 euros as a three-year-old. By Crystal Ocean and out of a full-sister to smart chaser Gold Present, there is plenty to like on paper. Tide Is Turning, Littlebobbydazzler and Jetzet all displayed ability on their debut runs and go on the shortlist in that order of preference.

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to Nicky Henderson's striking newcomer LONGLANDS. Tide Is Turning is feared most.

LTO Selection:

GILLANE can make the breakthrough here in first-time cheekpieces. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding has twice performed well since joining the yard and also hit the frame a couple of times for previous connections. He ran a solid race when runner-up at Wexford on St Patrick's Day and a similar effort might be good enough. Mc Swagger stayed on nicely when third at Thurles when last seen in October. He looks like the main danger, ahead of Treadonmydreams.

The form standard is set by GILLANE courtesy of his runner-up effort in a stronger race than this at Wexford last time and he can score

In fine form on the AW this winter; very lightly raced on turf but player in hat-trick bid.
15	15 (15) (6/1 +25%) Tommytwohoots	6 6/1(+25%)	(15) Tommytwohoots 6/1, Ran to form beaten a length off this mark at Catterick last time; trainer in form; suited by 6f, acts on an easy surface and AW; in good form of late and in with a chance all things considered.

Back on song to land 5f Catterick h'cap ten days ago; this C&D scorer needs to back it up.
5	5 (5) (15/2 -7%) Emerald Army	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(5) Emerald Army 15/2, Won this last year; below form down the field in a handicap at Musselburgh most recent; effective at 6/7f, acts on most and AW; return to this trip in his favour having finished close third at Catterick penultimate start. Took this on return year ago for Declan Carroll; debut for Ruth Carr and could bounce back.
9	9 (9) (11/1 +21%) Siviez	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Siviez 11/1, Seemed to be on stiff mark beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark over 5f at Catterick last time; looks to act on good and good to firm; plenty to prove on first attempt over 6f. Running-on sixth in 5f Catterick h'cap latest; interesting for in-form yard now up to 6f.
11	11 (11) (11/1 +21%) Run This Way	11 11/1(+21%)	(11) Run This Way 11/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; effective at 6f, acts on soft and good to soft; falling in weights but needs more. It's now 13 outings since her last win; this C&D winner needs to take a step forward.
14	14 (14) (12/1 +0%) Wee Mary	12 12/1(+0%)	(14) Wee Mary 12/1, Below par beaten 6l in a classified race at Newcastle last time; best suited by 5f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and AW; inconsistent, but back on winning mark from latest success at Newcastle four stars ago. Breakthrough win in Newcastle classified event in January but has failed to build on it.

Beat one in 5f Pontefract h'cap when last seen in October; needs to hit the ground running.
13	13 (13) (12/1 -33%) Doon The Glen	12 12/1(-33%)	(13) Doon The Glen 12/1, Improved on last couple of starts when second beaten 1 1/4l in a classified race at Newcastle latest; suited by 6f, acts on AW; bounce back needed on first turf start since June 2024.

8	8 (8) (16/1 -45%) What What What	16 16/1(-45%)	(8) What What What 16/1, Back to winning ways after a lengthy losing streak landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell last time; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on AW; down to a good mark and running back into form until latest. Won at Southwell latest; yet to show much in a handful of turf runs though.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -14%) Hurstwood	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Hurstwood 16/1, Below form, when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; suited by 6f, acts on any; won at Nottingham off 54 three starts ago; game, usually consistent, capable off this mark. A dual 6f scorer in 2025 but didn't prove easy to catch right; needs to hit ground running.
7	7 (7) (16/1 -14%) Stormy Pearl	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Stormy Pearl 16/1, Below form beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good; outside chance now 1lb below his last winning mark of 55.

4	4 (4) (16/1 +0%) La Rochette	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) La Rochette 16/1, Below par beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 5f on a sound surface; mark is dropping, but needs more back up in trip to 6f having shown little previously.

10	10 (10) (16/1 +11%) Langholm	16 16/1(+11%)	(10) Langholm 16/1, Struggled, beaten 9l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; enjoys making it; suited by 7f, acts on any; game and consistent, back on last winning mark now; outside chance. Course winner; has gone well fresh though, so is no forlorn hope on his reappearance.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +0%) Jet Warrior	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Jet Warrior 25/1, Moderate effort probably wanting further comfortably held in a novice at Newcastle last time; off a short-break; should be effective around 10f; yet to show any really measurable form; questionable drop to 6f. Last of five for new yard at Newcastle, so switch to h'caps needs to spark major progress.
12	12 (12) (25/1 +11%) Mister Mcgregor	25 25/1(+11%)	(12) Mister Mcgregor 25/1, Below par beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race at Wolverhampton last time; was second, beaten 1l at the same course penultimate start; blinkers first time; effective 6/7f, acts on AW; longstanding maiden needs to bounce back on latest. 0-22 and he beat two in 6f classified event at Wolverhampton last time; blinkers go on.
17	17 (17) (28/1 -56%) Eldeyaar	28 28/1(-56%)	(17) Eldeyaar 28/1, Raced freely beaten 10l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; visor first time; enjoys making it; effective 6f, suited by cut or AW; bounce back needed to be competitive. On a lengthy losing sequence and he came in 11th in 6f Wolverhampton handicap 19 days ago.

LTO Selection:

GOLDEN PROSPERITY is a previous C&D winner that makes plenty of appeal after bouncing back to form at Catterick 10 days ago. A 3lb higher mark should be manageable in this company. Piperstown has been in fine form on the all-weather but his hat-trick bid might come a cropper unless he improves greatly on his past turf form. Therefore, Emerald Army, who won this off 1lb lower after a similar break last year, could be a bigger danger on his debut for Ruth Carr. Tommytwohoots is also considered.

Grant Tuer's SIVIEZ could prove the answer given she shaped as though this trip would suit when a running-on sixth over 5f at Catterick.

4	4 (4) (9/2 -13%) Winchurch	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Winchurch 9/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; fair effort beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective at 5f, acts on good to firm and AW; down to a fair mark but needs to bounce back. Creditable third on AW latest; respected for yard with recent winning form in this race.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +50%) High Opinion	5 5/1(+50%)	(5) High Opinion 5/1, Down the field beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; returning from a break; effective 5f, acts on good and good to soft; dual C&D winner; off a break having lost form before it. Good C&D record and well treated if back to form after four months off.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +29%) Papa Don't Preach	5 5/1(+29%)	(6) Papa Don't Preach 5/1, Below par beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective 5/6f, acts on good and AW; down 1lb and can go well on turf return with conditions likely to suit. Four AW wins (latest in December) but he's 0-28 on turf.
2	2 (2) (6/1 -80%) Initial Blue	6 6/1(-80%)	(2) Initial Blue 6/1, Landed a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Kempton last time; effective 5/6f, but all worthwhile form on AW; chance again off this mark and looks to be a good chance for first turf win. Could still be on good mark if he can translate recent AW form back to turf.
8	8 (8) (7/1 -17%) Scent Of May	7 7/1(-17%)	(8) Scent Of May 7/1, Struggled, too slow away beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 5-6f on sound surface; fair mark if able to show the willing attitude that landed win at Chepstow penultimate start. 5f maiden win last summer; well held on AW handicap debut in autumn but still early days.
1	1 (1) (15/2 +0%) Miss Brazen	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(1) Miss Brazen 15/2, Struggled again, beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time; effective 5f, acts on good and good to firm; inconsistent and form is regressing but fair mark on best form. Well handicapped if bouncing back to form after six-month break; betting to guide.
7	7 (7) (8/1 +50%) Jeany May	8 8/1(+50%)	(7) Jeany May 8/1, Probably needed race beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; in somewhat inconsistent form. Well held on AW reappearance and first-time cheekpieces need to make a difference.
3	3 (3) (10/1 -150%) Level Up	10 10/1(-150%)	(3) Level Up 10/1, Ran to form beaten a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Bath last time; suited by 5f, acts on any; on a long losing streak, with last win now nine starts ago, but consistent and competitive mark. Went close back on turf latest and remains below last winning mark.

LTO Selection:

A switch to more aggressive tactics saw INITIAL BLUE make all over 6f at Kempton recently. A 3lb nudge up the ratings looks workable and a return to 5f shouldn't prevent another bold showing from the four-year-old. Level Up arrives on the back of a close-up second at Bath and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Winchurch.

The speedy INITIAL BLUE could still be on a good mark back on turf.

Promise last year and makes obvious appeal as an unexposed sort from a leading stable.
1	1 (1) (7/2 -17%) Kokanee	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(1) Kokanee 7/2, Ran to form beaten a short-head off a 2lb lower mark at Pontefract last time; effective 8-10f, acts on soft and good; a little in and out last term but on a workable mark if at best. Close second on recent 1m Pontefract return; prominent showing likely if in same form.

Below par on AW recently but not discounted back at scene of win last year; cheekpieces on.
2	2 (2) (13/2 -44%) Commander Of Life	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(2) Commander Of Life 13/2, Did not get a clear run beaten 3l off a 5lb higher mark at Southwell last time; wide draw; effective 7-10f on sound surface; consistent, can go well again on return to the turf. Consistent in defeat on AW this year and should be thereabouts back on turf.
6	6 (6) (10/1 -11%) Pulsar Star	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Pulsar Star 10/1, Close to opening account, second beaten a neck in a novice over 7f at Kempton latest; off a short-break; effective at 7/8f, acts on good and AW; more to come and return to 1m might help. Promise in novice events and unexposed now handicapping.
3	3 (3) (11/1 +50%) Oceans Five	11 11/1(+50%)	(3) Oceans Five 11/1, Raced freely comfortably held in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; in good form prior, including successive thirds at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; maybe more to come. Third in two AW novices this winter but disappointing start to handicap career latest.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +13%) Highland Olly	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Highland Olly 14/1, Probably needed race beaten 3l off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 7/8f, acts on good and good to firm; going is likely to suit and could come on from reappearance back up to a mile. C&D win last May; led for long way when fifth on AW return and could be spot on now.
9	9 (9) (14/1 -65%) Eagle Day	14 14/1(-65%)	(9) Eagle Day 14/1, Narrowly held when beaten by a nose off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-10f, suited by AW; had been out of form before latest form; chance is replicating that run. Remains on a good mark after Wolverhampton win but does most of winning on AW.
7	7 (7) (20/1 -67%) Pension Pot	20 20/1(-67%)	(7) Pension Pot 20/1, Ran similarly to debut run when fourth beaten 3l in a novice at Newcastle latest; trainer in form; wide draw; speedily-bred but proven stays 7f, action will be suited by give; step up even further in trip interesting. Fair form in three qualifying runs last autumn; one to note in betting on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

Although unable to justify favouritism when a close-up second at Pontefract, KOKANEE looked a winner in waiting. Ed Dunlop's charge finished with a rattle and is open to improvement. Influential has undergone a gelding procedure since his runner-up effort at Newcastle in October and is worth monitoring in the betting on his return. Commander Of Life has been a model of consistency on the all-weather and cannot be dismissed, while Pulsar Star enters handicaps off a fair mark.

Kokanee is respected on the back of his solid reappearance but Roger Varian's handicap newcomer INFLUENTIAL is preferred.

Made it 4-7 since cheekpieces went on when seeing off ten rivals at Bath recently; player.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +22%) Dream Pirate	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(3) Dream Pirate 7/2, Ideally suited by trip when landing a handicap by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark over 10f at Lingfield last time; off a short-break; effective at 8f-10f, acts on most and AW; generally consistent; should be in the mix again. AW win in January; this course scorer should figure if fully primed for first run since.
15	15 (15) (6/1 +40%) Wicklow Way	6 6/1(+40%)	(15) Wicklow Way 6/1, Well backed when finally opening account on eighth start, winning a classified race at Newcastle by 3/4l last time; up 4lb here; showed very little prior to that; may find revised mark stiff. Did well to get up on AW reappearance, his first attempt at 1m2f; could be on good mark.

Best effort back from long absence when fifth on AW latest; needs to build on that now.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -7%) Joseph	8 8/1(-7%)	(5) Joseph 8/1, Scored by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield penultimate start; second beaten a length off 67 last time, same mark here; suited by 8-10f, only form on AW; good chance again on turf return. Claims if he can translate good recent AW form to turf (well held both previous attempts).
7	7 (7) (10/1 +9%) Wood Whisperer	10 10/1(+9%)	(7) Wood Whisperer 10/1, Ran to form beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; seems effective at 10-11f; has been better in two starts since returning this year, and there's still time to improve. Travelled well for a long way over 1m3f on AW latest; remains unexposed after six starts.
11	11 (11) (11/1 +8%) In The Post	11 11/1(+8%)	(11) In The Post 11/1, Probably needed race beaten 8l in a handicap at Bath last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 8f, bred for 10-12f, acts on good to soft and good; has probably reached level. May strip fitter for return but weakened on previous attempt at 1m2f; cheekpieces go on.
12	12 (12) (11/1 +8%) Onslow Gardens	11 11/1(+8%)	(12) Onslow Gardens 11/1, Improved a little when third beaten 4l off this mark at Redcar last time; effective 1m, probably gets 10f, all form on a sound surface; inconsistent maiden; hard to recommend. Went close off 2lb higher here last summer; claims if ready to roll after 196 days off.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -9%) Bearwith	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Bearwith 12/1, Scored by a length off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back; 11th beaten 7l off 68 last time, 1lb lower here; trainer in form; suited by 10-12f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; bounce back needed. AW win in February; held twice since but was caught wide back on turf latest.
10	10 (10) (12/1 +14%) Boubyan	12 12/1(+14%)	(10) Boubyan 12/1, Scored by a head off this mark at Newcastle three starts back; ninth beaten 7 1/4l off 67 last time; effective 8-10f, acts on good to firm and AW; outsider chance off same mark as latest win. This is easier than race he ran in last time and he won off this mark on AW last month.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +40%) Volto Di Medusa	12 12/1(+40%)	(9) Volto Di Medusa 12/1, Slowly away down the field in a handicap at Thirsk most recent; in good form prior; effective at 8-10f, acts on good and AW; step back up in trip may help; unlikely contender. Capable off this mark but will need to break a lot better than he did at Thirsk last week.
13	13 (13) (14/1 -27%) Star Start	14 14/1(-27%)	(13) Star Start 14/1, Probably needed race beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap at Doncaster last time; effective 10-12f, suited by fast ground; in fine form last year, including landing a double at Beverley and Pontefract; might be on to consider at a price. Should be sharper for reappearance and feasibly treated if back close to his best.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +20%) Show Biz Kid	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Show Biz Kid 16/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 10l in a handicap over 12f at Southwell last time; returning from a break; effective 9-11f, acts on any; outside chance if bouncing back on latest. Ended 2025 out of sorts but well treated if a break has revived.
2	2 (2) (22/1 -38%) Kasgani	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Kasgani 22/1, Ran to form comfortably held in a maiden at Dundalk last time; effective 10f-12f, acts on good and soft; first start for new yard in UK; inconsistent and yet to really show much in short career. A new recruit for Declan Carroll; the betting should help guide to expectations.
14	14 (14) (22/1 +12%) Bay Dream Believer	22 22/1(+12%)	(14) Bay Dream Believer 22/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap at Doncaster most recent; usually held up; suited by 10f, acts on soft and good to firm; hat-trick scorer last August; return to turf in her favour. Three 1m2f wins last August but never involved on Doncaster return three weeks ago.

LTO Selection:

It could pay to stick with the in-form LAW SUPREME, a recent winner over a mile at Bath who landed a Wolverhampton double over an extended 1m1f in February/March. He remains a solid option with Ryan Kavanagh taking 5lb off his back. Dream Pirate scored on the Polytrack at Lingfield at the start of the year. He's won four times on turf so could launch a strong challenge, while Joseph and Caph Star are others to note.

Mark Walford's WICKLOW WAY (nap) is unexposed at 1m2f and could be on a good mark having overcome trouble to win on AW last month.

Back on track with creditable efforts at Wolverhampton last month and he's in the mix.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +23%) Back From Dubai	5 5/1(+23%)	(5) Back From Dubai 5/1, Slowly away, last of eight beaten 9l in a handicap at Southwell last time; in good form prior; effective 8-10f, acts on any; had been knocking on the door and one to consider at a price. Nine-time winner who is well treated on his second in this race last year; interesting.
7	7 (7) (6/1 -33%) Tilsworth Max	6 6/1(-33%)	(7) Tilsworth Max 6/1, Game beaten a length off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; in decent form, including a win at Lingfield five starts back in January; that was only win in 26 starts, but not out of this on turf return. In good form on AW but he still has something to prove on turf and 7f is his best trip.

Only one win since 2022 and he's struggled in his last five starts; opposable.

3	3 (3) (9/1 -38%) Al Baahy	9 9/1(-38%)	(3) Al Baahy 9/1, Made too much use of beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; wide draw; effective 7-10f, acts on AW; was in form start of the year, with a double at Woverhampton and Lingfield over further; step back to 1m of interest. Well below form on AW in last two starts and sole turf win was almost three years ago.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +8%) Penny Ghent	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Penny Ghent 11/1, Beaten 10l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; returning from a break; effective 7/8f, acts on good; second beaten by a head at Redcar over 1m last turf start in November; still needs more. On dangerous mark but she's 0-24 and comes with risks attached on her return.
6	6 (6) (16/1 0%) Evelyn's Phoenix	16 16/1(0%)	(6) Evelyn's Phoenix 16/1, Never dangerous down the field in a handicap at Redcar most recent; effective 8-10f, probably acts on any; disappointing for a good while now and much more needed to be competitive. Well treated on his old form but it was a struggle last season; lots to prove on return.
10	10 (10) (16/1 +0%) Freedom Bay	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) Freedom Bay 16/1, Raced too keen throughout well beaten in a handicap at Wolverhampton latest; wide draw; effective 7-8f; generally out of form and becoming a frustrating maiden that's expensive to follow. 11-race maiden and she needs a major revival on return for new trainer.
4	4 (4) (22/1 -57%) Molly Marine	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Molly Marine 22/1, Down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recent; wide draw; probably stays 7f, acts on AW; seems moderate and fair bit to prove stepped up to 1m for the first time. Unexposed 4yo but she needs a transformation at this new trip.

LTO Selection:

SCEPTIC posted a couple of improved efforts at Wolverhampton last month. A winner on the turf, Ian Williams' son of No Nay Never has slipped to a tempting mark and could go close if at the top of his game back on this surface. Fifty Sent and Al Baahy have both recorded doubles in classified races this year. The latter returns to a mile for this and is marginally preferred.

It's hard to find a solid option but it might be worth siding with last year's runner-up BACK FROM DUBAI.

Three wins in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts; needs to raise his game.

LTO Selection:

RAYSHAM showed improved form last autumn. A beaten favourite when third at Redcar in October, Declan Carroll's four-year-old could prove a stronger horse this term and looks on a workable mark for his reappearance. Charencey is not without a chance based on his best efforts last season, while Mooretown Lad has shown up to better effect on the all-weather of late and could make his presence felt.

Preference is for RAYSHAM who ended last season with two placed efforts and still has potential after only seven starts.

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.
