(1) Off To A Flyer (11/8 +8%)
Off To A Flyer

1.375
11/8(+8%)
(1) Off To A Flyer 11/8, Fairly useful when winning at Ayr (24.3f) back in April 2023 but has struggled to reach that level since, including over fences. Finished his campaign on a high, decisively winning a Huntingdon handicap hurdle (25f). Drops in trip but remains of interest if in the same form after 10 months off.
Absent since justifying market support at Huntingdon ten months ago; check the betting.
2
(2) Jackpot D'athou (4/1 -20%)
Jackpot D'athou

4
4/1(-20%)
(2) Jackpot D'athou 4/1, Looked promising when scoring twice over hurdles last season but has been out of sorts since, including on chase debut last time out. Cheekpieces back on and drops into the lowest grade he's contested in handicaps. Merits consideration from his falling handicap mark.
Has become disappointing but a revival would give him good claims off current mark.
5
(5) Jack The Savage (4/1 +0%)
Jack The Savage

4
4/1(+0%)
(5) Jack The Savage 4/1, Hit the frame for the sixth time in a row (returning from 12 weeks off) when creditable second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good to soft) in February. Should run his race again but could be vulnerable to a better handicapped one.
Only 1-15 over hurdles but holds a fighting chance off current mark.
3
(3) Jack Sprat (5/1 +55%)
Jack Sprat

5
5/1(+55%)
(3) Jack Sprat 5/1, Won two hurdle races at Huntingdon last season and back in top form following a spell over fences when adding to his tally at Exeter in January. Below-form on next couple of starts but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back in an opening looking race.
Assuming he rebounds, looks interesting with Will Biddick booked.
6
(6) Mairis Icon (7/1 +30%)
Mairis Icon

7
7/1(+30%)
(6) Mairis Icon 7/1, Won a novice hurdle at this venue last season (15.2f) under more testing conditions. Likely needed first couple of outings this season and was unsuited when dropped back in trip here last time out. Not ruled out with this step up in distance expected to be much more to her liking.
May raise her game off a reduced mark; bred to stay this distance.
4
(4) Iron Heart (11/1 +31%)
Iron Heart

11
11/1(+31%)
(4) Iron Heart 11/1, Four-time hurdle winner (now 1 lb below latest winning mark). Struggled over fences in the autumn but shaped better back over hurdles (after 4 months off) when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, good) 11 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can build on that.
Could be set for another successful spring/summer campaign; on a handy mark.
LTO Selection:

A switch to timber proved just the trick for Off To A Flyer when making all at Huntingdon at May last year. However, the eight-year-old isn't certain to be in the same form on his return from a 308-day layoff and a 6lb higher mark could leave him vulnerable. With that in mind, last-time-out runner-up JACK THE SAVAGE makes most appeal. A 2lb nudge in the ratings looks workable for Laura Horsfall's gelding and another bold bid is forecast. Jackpot D'athou is the pick of the remainder.

JACKPOT D'ATHOU has failed to live up to the promise of last season but is worth another chance from his falling handicap mark, the combination of a further drop in grade and reapplication of cheekpieces might be enough to get his head in front. Last-time-out winner Off To A Flyer would be a big danger if ready to roll after a 10-month absence back over a shorter trip, while Mairis Icon should be better suited by this stiffer test.

Some encouraging recent form figures earn JACK THE SAVAGE the vote. Iron Heart is second pick.

(1) Bishop Hill (15/8 -7%)
Bishop Hill

1.875
15/8(-7%)
(1) Bishop Hill 15/8, Fair hurdler who has been a regular at Perth and had plenty of chances over this trip. Poor when last seen but good claims on a couple of her previous placed efforts, including one at this track.
Placed four times at Perth last spring/summer; big player if tuned up after break.
5
(5) Parisian Fashion (2/1 +27%)
Parisian Fashion

2
2/1(+27%)
(5) Parisian Fashion 2/1, Successful Irish pointer who has made a good start over hurdles, again taking a keen hold and not beaten far (also not knocked about) at Wetherby over this trip a fortnight ago. Leading claims in this company.
In the frame all three hurdling starts; can make a bold bid from the front.
6
(6) Wendywilldo (5/2 -11%)
Wendywilldo

2.5
5/2(-11%)
(6) Wendywilldo 5/2, Fair bumper winner who was beaten only a neck, with Parisian Fashion in third, at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Finished weakly when favourite at Catterick next time but retains potential.
Went close at Wetherby on Boxing Day and had excuses when disappointing favourite since.
3
(3) Generous Scorpion (15/2 -15%)
Generous Scorpion

7.5
15/2(-15%)
(3) Generous Scorpion 15/2, Maiden pointer who showed more than first time up over hurdles down in trip at Doncaster (2m) recently, although couldn't convert that into a top 2 finish even when offered a second bite of the cherry after the last. Needs another step forward.
Placed over 2m at Doncaster this month and ought to be suited by this return to 2m4f.
4
(4) Inta (18/1 +64%)
Inta

18
18/1(+64%)
(4) Inta 18/1, Third in an Irish point in May 2023. Off a long time after and well held in 2 novice hurdles in recent months. Probably one for low-grade handicaps.
Has not shown a great deal on her two hurdling starts this year (2m1f/2m4f).
2
(2) Ena's Choice (40/1 +20%)
Ena's Choice

40
40/1(+20%)
(2) Ena's Choice 40/1, Fair form at best in Flat maidens in 2023 for T. G. McCourt. Off a long time ahead of this hurdles debut.
Quickly became very disappointing on the Flat in Ireland in 2023; back from long absence.
LTO Selection:

Having performed well in defeat at Perth on several occasions last year, a change of scenery could help BISHOP HILL to break her maiden. The Lucinda Russell-trained mare seems ideally suited by this trip and won't need much of a step forward to strike. Wendywilldo and Parisian Fashion are closely matched based on their encounter at Wetherby's Christmas fixture and they are the dangers.

A tricky opener with PARISIAN FASHION taken to strike. She's run good races at Wetherby over this trip the last twice, including behind Wendywilldo the first occasion, and looks the type who has more to offer. Her old rival needs to leave behind a tame effort at Catterick back from a break, so the returning Bishop Hill might be the chief danger.

The pick is PARISIAN FASHION, who was placed at Wetherby in December and may not have had enough use made of her there this month.

(1) Minniemum (4/7 +7%)
Minniemum

0.571429
4/7(+7%)
(1) Minniemum 4/7, In good nick over hurdles before making a winning start over fences in 4-runner handicap at Exeter (24.2f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Scored easily there so he's the one to beat under a 7 lb penalty.
Scored by wide margin at Exeter (chase debut) eight days ago; leading player.
2
(2) So Said I (3/1 +33%)
So Said I

3
3/1(+33%)
(2) So Said I 3/1, Opened her chasing account at Lingfield a year ago and has largely acquitted herself well this term, in a changed of headgear when third at Taunton last time. A likely player once more off an easing mark.
Modest strike-rate over fences but best form gives her a fighting chance.
4
(4) Melusine De Pail (5/1 +33%)
Melusine De Pail

5
5/1(+33%)
(4) Melusine De Pail 5/1, Point winner but yet to score under Rules despite several good efforts over hurdles/fences, third of 7 in 23f Catterick handicap chase last month. One to consider.
Not helped by early mistakes last time; possibilities if avoiding errors.
3
(3) Lady Jago (17/2 -13%)
Lady Jago

8.5
17/2(-13%)
(3) Lady Jago 17/2, A fair winning hurdler but has yet to replicate that level switched to this sphere, pulled up in 21f Fakenham handicap in January. Needs to bounce back after a break.
Has regressive chase form but holds a good chance if back on song.
LTO Selection:

MINNIEMUM's jumping improved with each fence when making a winning chase bow at Exeter eight days ago. Henry Daly's mare scored with enough to hand to suggest that she can defy a 7lb penalty and a quickfire double could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from So Said I, who is racing off her last winning mark. Lady Jago is also noted on her return from a 89-day break.

None of the quartet can be ruled out but it's hard to side against MINNIEMUM who warmed to her task when an easy debut scorer over fences at Exeter last week and can defy a 7 lb penalty here. So Said I appeals as the chief threat off a handy-looking mark ahead of in-form maiden Melusine de Pail.

Exeter scorer MINNIEMUM is open to further progress over fences and taken to defy a penalty. Melusine De Pail is second pick.

(1) Community Rebel (2/1 +0%)
Community Rebel

2
2/1(+0%)
(1) Community Rebel 2/1, Point winner who landed a 3m Musselburgh maiden hurdle in January 2023 and proved he retains ability switched to chasing here earlier this month. Cheekpieces go on (previously wore hood) and good shout if in the same form.
Kept on well for second over C&D on this month's chasing debut; cheekpieces added today.
3
(3) Shesupincourt (11/4 +39%)
Shesupincourt

2.75
11/4(+39%)
(3) Shesupincourt 11/4, Ran out a comfortable winner of thin mares' handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, heavy) in February but not in the same form off revised mark at Ffos Las 10 days ago. Back up in trip now.
Wide-margin winner last month; bumped into gambled-on improver when second ten days ago.
7
(7) Toombridge (10/3 +26%)
Toombridge

3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(7) Toombridge 10/3, Still a maiden but back on track the last twice, in the process of running well when departing 2 out in a similar event here 4 weeks ago. One to consider back up in trip.
Seemingly aided by cheekpieces when twice running well in recent weeks.
5
(5) Deep Strato (6/1 +8%)
Deep Strato

6
6/1(+8%)
(5) Deep Strato 6/1, Point winner and has shown a bit of potential over hurdles. Poor last time but could do better now handicap chasing (half-brother to smart chaser Visionarian).
Encouraging fourth on handicap hurdle debut; open to significant improvement over fences.
6
(6) Thatsy (7/1 +0%)
Thatsy

7
7/1(+0%)
(6) Thatsy 7/1, Continues to fall in the weights without showing any sign of taking advantage in similar events, well held again at Wetherby 5 weeks ago. Has had a breathing operation since.
Regressive 11yo with 0-22 record over fences; recent wind op the last roll of the dice.
4
(4) Mobile Mamma (15/2 +6%)
Mobile Mamma

7.5
15/2(+6%)
(4) Mobile Mamma 15/2, Has failed to trouble the judge in 4 races over hurdles at up to 3m but staying handicap chases could be the making of this Irish point winner. One to note.
Pulled up on handicap hurdle debut but could still have a good future over fences.
2
(2) Giveupyerauldsins (14/1 +44%)
Giveupyerauldsins

14
14/1(+44%)
(2) Giveupyerauldsins 14/1, Maiden pointer who took a novice hurdle here in December, that easily her best effort over the smaller obstacles. Seemed to down tools last time and quickly switches to chasing.
Won novice hurdle here in December but soundly beaten in two subsequent handicap hurdles.
LTO Selection:

Race tactics and a shorter trip conspired against SHESUPINCOURT at Ffos Las 10 days ago. It would come as no surprise to see this sterner test bring the best out of Ryan Potter's mare. Community Rebel also found just one too good on his latest start over C&D and boasts a decent chance of success if the first-time cheekpieces work the oracle. Mobile Mamma and Deep Strato are surely better than their recent failed completions.

COMMUNITY REBEL proved he retains ability on his first crack over fences here a fortnight ago and has a good shout if in the same form. Mobile Mamma and Deep Strato haven't scaled any heights over hurdles but could do better now chasing. Toombridge is also in the mix.

Lightly raced 9yo COMMUNITY REBEL got his career back on track with a good second over C&D on his recent chasing debut.

(1) Jackstell (13/8 +35%)
Jackstell

1.625
13/8(+35%)
(1) Jackstell 13/8, Debut bumper winner for Emmet Mullins and he has made a positive start hurdling for his current yard, a clear third of 12 in novice at Lingfield (19.5f, good to soft) in December. Since had a wind op. Holds very good form claims. Engaged Ascot 2.10 Sunday.
Second to main market rival at Ascot yesterday; one of the main form contenders.
2
(2) Rascallion (3/1 +0%)
Rascallion

3
3/1(+0%)
(2) Rascallion 3/1, A fair Flat winner for Nick Littmoden who showed fair form in a pair of 2m maiden hurdles for Keiran Burke, falling last flight at Kempton on latter occasion. Not ruled out for another new yard.
Interesting on Ludlow effort (second behind a useful sort); debut for new stable.
5
(5) Elforleather (17/2 -6%)
Elforleather

8.5
17/2(-6%)
(5) Elforleather 17/2, A fair Flat winner for Jack Channon in August. Shaped well for his new yard on his hurdling bow when runner-up at Southwell but just a fair fifth at Kelso 30 days ago. In good hands and worth another chance.
Juvenile hurdler who has something to find on the figures.
4
(4) Ted The Thief (40/1 +0%)
Ted The Thief

40
40/1(+0%)
(4) Ted The Thief 40/1, A winning pointer but he came in ninth of 14 in novice (18/1) at Taunton (16.5f, good) on his hurdling debut 21 days ago. Lots more is required.
Point winner; beaten long way at Taunton on rules debut.
3
(3) Sure To Be Sure (50/1 +0%)
Sure To Be Sure

50
50/1(+0%)
(3) Sure To Be Sure 50/1, Yet to offer much in a trio of bumpers, a well-held fifth of 7 at Fontwell 36 days ago. More is needed on his hurdles debut.
Hurdles debutant who has very weak claims on bumper form.
LTO Selection:

Having showed plenty of ability when racing on the Flat in France under the tutelage of Andre Fabre last year, ROADSHOW is a potentially useful recruit to this discipline. The four-year-old looks just the type that Paul Nicholls could excel with and the son of Galileo is fancied to making a winning hurdles bow. Although fellow stable debutant Rascallion was beat when falling in a class 2 event at Kempton on Boxing Day, he must enter calculations reverting to class 4 company, along with Elforleather.

The market should prove revealing but Paul Nicholls' newcomer ROADSHOW showed some fairly useful form on the level in France for Andre Fabre so is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Jamie Snowden's fairly useful maiden Jackstell rates a big threat though, with Elforleather also in the mix if bouncing back to form.

Roadshow warrants respect on his debut under this code. RASCALLION and Jackstell are the main contenders on hurdles form.

(2) Adveram (7/4 -8%)
Adveram

1.75
7/4(-8%)
(2) Adveram 7/4, Got off the mark at Ayr in October and in good nick until coming in only eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 67 days ago, never travelling well. Sort to bounce back though.
Not seen since disappointing run in January but earlier form gives him strong claims.
1
(1) Kilmore Rock (11/4 +17%)
Kilmore Rock

2.75
11/4(+17%)
(1) Kilmore Rock 11/4, Debut hurdles winner last June and he comes here on the back of a good fourth of 15 in handicap at Hexham (23.3f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Well in the mix with cheekpieces added.
Has not progressed since last summer's win but ran well in recent 2m7f Hexham handicap.
3
(3) Killybegs Jet Lady (11/4 +0%)
Killybegs Jet Lady

2.75
11/4(+0%)
(3) Killybegs Jet Lady 11/4, Irish points winner who wasn't disgraced back in trip after 9 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle here (20.3f, good) 28 days ago. A likely player back up in trip now for last year's winning yard.
Fair fourth when upped to 2m7f for last month's handicap debut; probably needed recent run.
6
(6) Angus De Bull (17/2 +29%)
Angus De Bull

8.5
17/2(+29%)
(6) Angus De Bull 17/2, Is yet to show much worthwhile form on the Flat or over hurdles. Very hard to warm to from 15 lb out of the handicap.
Unplaced all eight hurdling starts and competes from 15lb out of the weights.
5
(5) Teddy Mac (17/2 +47%)
Teddy Mac

8.5
17/2(+47%)
(5) Teddy Mac 17/2, Still a maiden and he took little interest when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (24.1f, heavy) 67 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.
Ran very poorly last time and is now 0-9 over hurdles; yard's other one appeals much more.
4
(4) So Ladylike (11/1 -10%)
So Ladylike

11
11/1(-10%)
(4) So Ladylike 11/1, Got off the mark under Rules at Hexham last June but only twice raced since and he beat just one in 3m Doncaster handicap last time. Has a bit to prove now.
Hexham winner last spring; didn't fire on latest outing but has possibilities.
LTO Selection:

KILMORE ROCK, Adveram and Killybegs Jet Lady are the ones to focus on, with the former preferred with improvement possible now he goes with cheekpieces added. The Susan Corbett-trained gelding is a prime candidate to cut out the running and he appears to have been found a good opportunity to strike. Adveram stays well and rates the chief danger on that basis.

Lucinda Russell took this 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with her Irish point scorer KILLYBEGS JET LADY who is fancied to build on a recent sixth here now stepped back up in trip. Top-weight Kilmore Rock appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of Adveram.

His latest run was disappointing but ADVERAM was placed in a competitive Class 3 contest two starts ago and gets the nod.

(6) Seahouses (5/4 +33%)
Seahouses

1.25
5/4(+33%)
(6) Seahouses 5/4, Caused a surprise when scoring under an enterprising ride at Market Rasen (20.6f) making-all having poached a healthy lead at the start. Unable to dominate but still ran respectably when second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, soft) 36 days ago. Should give another good account.
Improved form last month, making all at Market Rasen then second at Hereford; respected.
1
(1) Ellerton (3/1 +14%)
Ellerton

3
3/1(+14%)
(1) Ellerton 3/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) and went close without winning over hurdles for Syd Hosie. Shaped with promise when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this venue on Boxing Day but well-below that on final run for Anthony Charlton. Handicapper given him a chance and makes appeal on stable debut.
Has some encouraging hurdles form and may improve for this new trip; debut for new yard.
4
(4) Jaxonne (9/2 +0%)
Jaxonne

4.5
9/2(+0%)
(4) Jaxonne 9/2, Landed gamble when off the mark at Ludlow (21.2f) on decent ground last spring but hard to catch right since. Shaped as though amiss on reappearance this season and likely needed the run (after a further 11 weeks off) when sixth of 16 at Doncaster last time. Chance if back on song after 66 days off.
Seems a spring type and could go well off a workable mark on return from 66-day break.
5
(5) Roxhill (13/2 -8%)
Roxhill

6.5
13/2(-8%)
(5) Roxhill 13/2, No great shakes in a couple of points and efforts in qualifying runs were underwhelming. Only minor improvement switched to handicaps, keen over 2m at Southwell last time but found wanting for speed as the race unfolded. Longer trip should suit on that evidence but will need to settle better.
Signs of improvement since handicapping and this return to 2m4f is well worth exploring.
3
(3) Jack Hoola (8/1 +0%)
Jack Hoola

8
8/1(+0%)
(3) Jack Hoola 8/1, Runner-up in an Irish point but little impact in novice/maiden hurdles. Hasn't fared much better on two runs in handicaps and first-time cheekpieces/tongue tie combination needs to bring about some improvement.
Fitting of tongue-tie and cheekpieces looks a possible source of improvement.
2
(2) Jimmyjeroo (12/1 -9%)
Jimmyjeroo

12
12/1(-9%)
(2) Jimmyjeroo 12/1, Modest maiden hurdler wasn't disgraced when sixth of 13 in handicap at Warwick (19f, soft) in December but made a discouraging start to his chase career at Fakenham the following month. Reverts to hurdles now 7 lb lower than his last run in this sphere. Not ruled out.
Not particularly solid on overall form but the good ground may help returned to hurdles.
7
(7) Lake's Aventurine (40/1 0%)
Lake's Aventurine

40
40/1(0%)
(7) Lake's Aventurine 40/1, Made the frame on first of 2 starts in bumpers but little impact in maiden hurdles and fared no better in handicaps, pulling up at Chepstow 11 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.
Couple of non-completions since switched to handicap level; opposed.
8
(8) As Good As Can Be (40/1 +20%)
As Good As Can Be

40
40/1(+20%)
(8) As Good As Can Be 40/1, No impact between the flags or under Rules to date and he's very difficult to fancy from 3 lb out of the handicap.
Poor claims on form; tongue-tie needs to make a big difference.
LTO Selection:

SEAHOUSES has certainly improved for going up in trip recently, winning at Market Rasen before posting a solid second at Hereford latest, and there is likely more to come from this five-year-old. Connections have found him another good opening and it's easy to see why he'll prove popular. Jaxonne and Roxhill might be the ones battling it out for second.

ELLERTON shaped with promise at this track on his penultimate run and, on first start for Joe Tizzard, he may be able to recapture his form and land an ordinary looking contest. Jaxonne ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature and would be a big danger if back on song after a short break. Seahouses looks fairly solid and can hit the frame for the third start in a row.

A chance is taken on ELLERTON. The shortlist is completed by Roxhill, Seahouses and Jaxonne.

(4) Coniston George (9/4 +0%)
Coniston George

2.25
9/4(+0%)
(4) Coniston George 9/4, Enhanced fine Carlisle record to claim his third hurdles win last time, seemingly suited by the step back up in trip (19.3f) and the application of a visor, travelling strongly to defeat a progressive rival. That form looks solid and he remains of interest from a 7 lb higher mark.
In career-best form in first-time visor at Carlisle this month, winning by 6l; up 7lb.

(2) Pay The Piper 5/2, Course winner struggled last season but bounced back over fences this season, winning twice along with plenty of creditable efforts in defeat. Ran respectably back over hurdles (headgear refitted) when second in a steadily run 4-runner race (16.9f) here. Not ruled out over this longer trip.
Dual chase winner in the autumn and posted a sound effort over hurdles here this month.

(1) Horn Cape (10/3 -11%)
Horn Cape

3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(1) Horn Cape 10/3, Course winner thrived last season on testing ground winning three times and still on the up when finishing narrow second at Kelso (having looked the winner) on his final run in May. Left comeback behind when back to his best to place at this venue (17f) last month. Much respected back up in trip.
Four 2m1f wins last term; ran well over that trip last month; not fully exposed over 2m4f.
5
(5) Fingal's Hill (7/2 +36%)
Fingal's Hill

3.5
7/2(+36%)
(5) Fingal's Hill 7/2, Recorded a 4-timer in handicaps in 2023 (including a success at this course) and had been working his way back to form this season prior to a rare poor effort over a longer trip (23.3f) at Uttoxeter last time. No surprise to see him bounce back over this sharper test.
Well beaten in valuable race this month but earlier form gives him a fighting chance.

(3) Lihyan (9/1 +10%)
Lihyan

9
9/1(+10%)
(3) Lihyan 9/1, Posted a career-best at Uttoxeter (23.3f) in October, doing well to come from last to first in a falsely run race before finishing a creditable third at Aintree later that month. Looked extremely rusty on his reappearance 16 days ago and needs to leave that run well behind.
Better than ever in the autumn but returned from break with disappointing run this month.
6
(6) Stylish Recruit (20/1 +0%)
Stylish Recruit

20
20/1(+0%)
(6) Stylish Recruit 20/1, Irish point winner surpassed previous hurdling exploits when winning a Hexham novice (16.2f) in June. Ran poorly after wind surgery/6 months off on chase debut and was again pulled-up on second outing over fences latest. Bit to prove back hurdling but should be more at home over this longer trip.
Novice hurdle winner last spring but pulled up in two handicap chases since; risky.
LTO Selection:

CONISTON GEORGE really seemed to appreciate a first-time visor when gaining a third career success over hurdles at Carlisle earlier in the month and a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop him from backing that performance up. Pay The Piper returned to the smaller obstacles and finished runner-up here last time and is likely to be competitive along with Horn Cape.

Course-specialist HORN CAPE ran a fine race (after 10 weeks off) to finish third at this track last month, and he should be spot on for return to this longer trip and can record a fourth course success. Fingal's Hill produced a rare disappointing effort last time but he's the type to bounce back quickly and is feared, especially if Brian Hughes can poach an easy lead in this small field. Coniston George was back to his best when winning in first-time headgear and he's expected to go well again.

Nicky Richards' CONISTON GEORGE travelled strongly before drawing clear at Carlisle three weeks ago and can overcome a 7lb rise.

(3) La Dolce Dolly 7/4, On the up since sent handicapping and she got off the mark at Plumpton (25f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Looks to have more to offer as a stayer so big shout despite a 4 lb weights rise.
Plumpton win took her record at this sort of distance to 2-2; open to further progress.

(2) Briefly 9/4, Scored at Bangor last June and looked on the up until jumping poorly when last of 3 in handicap hurdle over C&D a week ago. Sort to bounce back though. Engaged Ascot 3.55 Sunday.
Disappointing here last Monday; consistent otherwise and bounced back at Ascot yesterday.

Komedy Kicks

11/4(-10%)
(1) Komedy Kicks 11/4, Bagged a pair of handicaps (around 2m3f) at Kelso and Catterick after Christmas but he failed to stay 3m when pulled up at Ludlow last month. Others appeal more kept to this trip.
Form figures of 411P for new yard; let down by jumping when upped to 3m last time.

11/2(+8%)
(4) Pure Theatre 11/2, Dual winner in mares' hurdles in spring 2023 but has been more miss than hit since, beating only one in 25f Plumpton handicap last time. Handily weighted if back on song though.
Record suggests she's a spring mare; this looks the time to catch her; handy mark.

Calli Black

11
11/1(+8%)
(5) Calli Black 11/1, Failed to build on earlier promise on his handicap bow when pulled up at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft) in January. Has since undergone breathing surgery so can't be ruled out.
Physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) may prompt improvement.
LTO Selection:

LA DOLCE DOLLY makes plenty of appeal in here. It wasn't a surprise at all to see the point-to-point winner improve for the step up to this trip at Plumpton last time and she won there with something up her sleeve. Komedy Kicks was pulled up at Ludlow latest but was on a hat-trick that day and could be worth another chance for the powerful Dan Skelton stable. Pure Theatre rates best of the rest.

LA DOLCE DOLLY arrives on an upward curve so is fancied to make light of a 4 lb rise in the weights and follow up her breakthrough Plumpton victory. Calli Black could emerge as the one to give Andy Irvine's mare most to do on the back of a wind op, with Pure Theatre also in the mix if on her A-game.

Being still unbeaten at about 3m and open to further progress, LA DOLCE DOLLY (nap) is preferred. Pure Theatre is second pick.

2/1(-7%)
(3) Empty Nest 2/1, Gained his breakthrough victory at Wetherby in December and has continued in good nick, third of 10 in handicap chase there (19.4f, soft) 58 days ago when doing too much too soon. Leading claims off an unchanged mark.
Ended 2024 with a win and has run well in defeat on both outings this year (once over C&D).

Largely consistent for new stable since the autumn and probably still on a workable mark.

Course winner over hurdles in December but dropped out rather tamely on chasing debut.

Came second twice in the autumn but has lost his way a bit since.

Placed in four early-season chases but absent since below-par run in November.

(4) Soldier Dan 8/1, Placed in a couple of points but yet to ofer much over hurdles and on his chasing bow when fifth of 10 in handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.
Beaten about 28l on last month's chase/handicap debut (3m) but remains very unexposed.
2
(2) Goodtimes Badtimes (10/1 +0%)
Goodtimes Badtimes

10
10/1(+0%)
(2) Goodtimes Badtimes 10/1, Unreliable sort and he has been pulled up on his last two runs, in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) on latter occasion. Very hard to warm to.
Placed in three good-ground chases last year but has looked out of sorts lately.
LTO Selection:

Empty Nest has been in consistent form since winning at Wetherby on Boxing Day and the seven-year-old is likely to offer another bold bid following his latest third at the same track. The vote, though, goes to BEAT THE EDGE, who has blinkers reapplied to aid his concentration after he travelled particularly well at Sedgefield on his latest start. Kicksaftersix completes the shortlist.

A few of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for EMPTY NEST to regain the winning thread having been ridden too aggressively when a solid Wetherby fourth last time out. Kicksaftersix is feared most in his bid to gain a first win of the current campaign, with Beat The Edge appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

It might be worth chancing unexposed 7yo SOLDIER DAN, who was not disgraced over 3m on his recent chase/handicap debut.

Dunstall Rambler

2
2/1(+11%)
(3) Dunstall Rambler 2/1, Is amidst a personal best for form and consistency but a blunder is never too far away and mistakes probably did for him in his hat-trick bid back here last time. Should stay the longer trip and considered despite a revised mark.
In great form at about 2m of late; likely player provided he stays this new trip.
1
(1) Another Folly (11/4 +39%)
Another Folly

2.75
11/4(+39%)
(1) Another Folly 11/4, Fair form over hurdles and has matched that level over fences this season with 2 placed efforts, including in a class 4 C&D contest. Not so good at Hereford last time but worth considering back from a break.
Still a maiden but posted a solid effort over C&D on penultimate start; possibilities.

Defied a 9lb higher mark in this corresponding event last year; interesting back here.

Birdman Bob

6
6/1(-9%)

6
(6) My Rockstar (8/1 -14%)
My Rockstar

8
8/1(-14%)
(6) My Rockstar 8/1, C&D winner who also struck at Taunton in November and good efforts at that track the last twice. Could figure.
May be more interesting when back down the weights; both wins off 7lb lower.
7
(7) Gladiatus (16/1 +27%)
Gladiatus

16
16/1(+27%)
(7) Gladiatus 16/1, Maiden prone to jumping errors as a hurdler and looks to have carried that over to chasing, mistakes and well held at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago. Others preferred.
Lightly raced 9yo who needs improvement to get off the mark.
LTO Selection:

DUNSTALL RAMBLER has shown a liking for this venue and looks ready for another try over this short of trip after just failing to complete a hat-trick when run out of things over two miles here last month. The additional yardage is a slight concern and it's possible that Another Folly, who was second over C&D on his penultimate start, could be the one to capitalise if the selection falters. Shillanavogy and Birdman Bob complete the shortlist.

Most of these can be considered but in the hope he can keep the mistakes down it could be worth chancing ABINGWORTH, who ran his best race of the season last time and whose last win came here off 9 lb higher. Another Folly down in class and Dunstall Rambler are a couple of the other main players.

Topweight ANOTHER FOLLY has a solid piece of C&D form and is taken to open his account. Abingworth is second choice.

(5) The Cola Brasil 5/2, First run since leaving Michael Browne when creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/1) 18 days ago, running on. Needs considering.

Of interest on last year's best and she travelled kindly on recent stable debut; contender.

Nine-time winner, including C&D, but the widest stall presents complications today.
9

Global Effort

20
20/1(-11%)
(9) Global Effort 20/1, C&D winner in February and comes here on the back of a good fourth of 10 in classified event here (5.1f) 14 days ago. Firmly in the picture.
Three course wins since June; fair effort over 5f here two weeks ago; yard run two.
10
(10) Doves Of Peace (25/1 +24%)
Doves Of Peace

(10) Doves Of Peace 25/1, C&D winner in October. Blinkered for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap (66/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 23 days ago. Needs to get back on track.
C&D win for Michael Bell last year; well beaten in two runs for current stable this year.
LTO Selection:

This can go the way of SO GRATEFUL, who deservedly got back to winning ways with a determined success over 5f at Newcastle last time out. The booking of Serera Brotherton in a contest of this nature is a big plus, and the seven-year-old is narrowly preferred to The Cola Brasil, an eye-catcher on his first run for new connections when fourth over 7f at Chelmsford. Only once outside the first three in her last four starts over C&D, Banana is entitled to be thereabout as well.

This is wide open but Archie Watson's new recruit KURIMU made an encouraging start after an absence when a running-on fifth at Chelmsford City and can build on it here to regain winning ways. Recent Newcastle scorer So Grateful heads the list of dangers, with Under Curfew, Monsieur Fantaisie and Global Effort in the mix too.

The Cola Brasil finished just in front of KURIMU at Chelmsford 18 days ago but the selection can reverse the placings back at 6f.

Ran big race in defeat over C&D last month despite racing too freely; major player.

Wears first-time tongue tie and looks interesting over this stiffer test.

Slightly disappointing last time but has claims if judged on earlier C&D fourth.

Showed no significant promise in his four qualifying races but may improve in handicaps.

Belle Na Bann

(8) Belle Na Bann 9/1, Successful at this venue in December 2023 before landing double at Catterick following month. Form has been in and out since, disappointing fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D 37 days ago. Below her latest winning mark but hasn't looked like capitalising of late (2 lb out of handicap).
Four-time hurdle winner; on a good mark now but not firing on all cylinders lately.

(3) Socks Off 10/1, A fair hurdler/chaser who ran his best race for current connections when third in a hunter chase at Carlisle (20.9f) 22 days ago and now reverts to hurdles racing off his latest winning mark. Interesting contender.
Ran fairly well in a recent hunter chase and is well handicapped on older hurdling form.
2

Jumping Jupiter

12
12/1(+0%)
(2) Jumping Jupiter 12/1, Opened his account at Hexham in May but a below form since, latest effort coming in a first-time tongue tie when twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 156 days ago. Has gone well fresh but has a bit to find with the best of these.
Good Hexham winner last spring but absent since two disappointing runs in the autumn.
9
(9) Likleman (22/1 +33%)
Likleman

22
22/1(+33%)
(9) Likleman 22/1, Modest miler on the Flat and has proved headstrong in maiden/juvenile hurdles this season. Makes stable debut from 2 lb out of the handicap and needs to settle better to hold a chance on handicap debut.
Has shown some hurdling ability but his tendency to pull hard is a serious concern.
LTO Selection:

WILD NEPHIN took a step back in the right direction when runner-up at Huntingdon and this appears to be an excellent opportunity for Ryan Potter's gelding to get his head in front for the first time under Rules. Willie Shake Hands (second) and Mix De Gris (fourth) were closely matched over C&D last month and the latter may well reverse the form with a 5lb pull at the weights.

WILLIE SHAKE HANDS caught the eye when second over C&D last time and has good claims of getting off the mark if racing more efficiently. Mix de Gris looks fairly handicapped and makes appeal back on a sounder surface, while recent runner-up Wild Nephin merits plenty of respect over this stiffer test. Socks Off is worth a market check racing off his last winning hurdles mark.

Preference is for WILD NEPHIN (nap), who chased home a well-backed and revitalised opponent at Huntingdon 19 days ago.

Wasn't helped by meeting trouble last time and may yet confirm his Uttoxeter promise.

(5) Vol Royale 9/2, Point winner who showed something to work on switched to bumpers at Kempton last month, getting into contention well but then lacking a turn of foot once the tempo lifted. Could build on that and one to consider.
Point winner; ran with promise at Kempton and that form has been nicely boosted since.
LTO Selection:

As ever with races of this type, the betting market should be a good source for clues. NATHAN'S RUN, who showed promise when filling the runner-up spot on his debut at Uttoxeter in November, is suggested as the first one to consider given he has undergone wind surgery since a luckless run at Huntingdon. Point-to-point winner Vol Royale is second on the shortlist after a promising fourth at Kempton on his Rules debut. The Paul Nicholls-trained pair Takeonedayatatime and Maldini Milano are other notable options.

MALDINI MILANO found a listed Newbury contest too hot last time but had previously beaten one at Exeter who subsequently ran to a fair level over hurdles and is taken to bounce back to winning ways. Stablemate Takeonedayatatime is respected after an encouraging start here in October and the betting could help split them. Royal Mark is a newcomer to note for a smaller yard that does well in this sphere.

The vote goes to newcomer IMPACT PLAYER, who is related to several first-time-out scorers. Takeonedayatatime is second choice.

80/1(+0%)
(2) I Was Thinking 80/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, last of 6 in maiden at this C&D 17 days ago. Big outsider.
Down the field in two runs here (7f and 6f) this month; minor handicaps beckon.
LTO Selection:

A highly promising second on debut over C&D recently, FRENCH SAND is open to any amount of improvement on the back of that effort and she can go one better for leading connections. A length behind her on that occasion was the well-bred Kinswoman (fourth), who is capable of being in the shake-up, as well as Wild Embers, who ran well first time out at Dundalk in January before joining new connections.

FRENCH SAND looked promising over C&D on debut just over 2 weeks ago and is just preferred to Kinswoman who was just behind the selection that day on her respective debut. Double Rush is more exposed but has the form to play a part.

French Sand and Kinswoman can feature but DOUBLE RUSH has some strong turf form and can make a winning reappearance.

Pursuit Of Truth

1.625
13/8(+70%)
(4) Pursuit Of Truth 13/8, Possibly found the race coming too soon when sixth of 11 in handicap (5/2) at Newcastle (8f) back in October, staying on after hampered briefly 3f out. Sold from Owen Burrows 17,000 gns later that month and not seen since. Fairly handicapped and one to consider for his new yard.
Pick of five runs for O Burrows when 2nd of 13 at Kempton (1m) in October; betting useful.

(2) Star Pupil 3/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford City (8f). Respected but is yet to win beyond 7f.
Prominent racer; comes here in good form and should make another bold bid.

(6) Tea Sea 7/2, Course winner arrives in excellent heart, latest run a respectable third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 26 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer. Merits consideration back up in trip.
Tapeta hat-trick this winter; had excuses at Kempton last time; still feasibly treated.

Prince Ali

13/2(+7%)
(7) Prince Ali 13/2, 4-time course winner who turned in his best effort for some time when winning here (9.5f) on penultimate start. Shapes as though still in good form when fourth over same C&D 9 days ago, having not enjoyed a smooth passage. Should give another good account.
Three course wins since September; met trouble in running last time; can go well again.

15/2(-25%)
(1) Cosmos Raj 15/2, C&D winner halted poor run of form when third of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 16/1) 19 days ago. Fairly treated but remains to be seen if he can back it up.
Conditions to suit and on a dangerous mark; interesting on the back of a good recent 3rd.

(5) Harlem Nights (17/2 +29%)
Harlem Nights

8.5
17/2(+29%)
(5) Harlem Nights 17/2, Course winner ran poorly when last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 15/2) 55 days ago. Back up in trip following wind surgery and has a bit to prove.
Third over C&D in January; flopped last time but had a wind op since; dangerous mark.
3
(3) Ciotog (12/1 +40%)
Ciotog

12
12/1(+40%)
(3) Ciotog 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. 22/1, not seen to best effect when sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, would have benefitted from a stronger gallop. May not get the truly-run race he needs on this occasion.
C&D win in January but more recent efforts have been less convincing; others appeal more.
LTO Selection:

TEA SEA caught the eye when not getting the clearest of runs and keeping on for third over 7f at Kempton last time out, and stepping back up in trip looks like a good move as he aims to land a fourth victory in his last six starts. A promising second for in-form connections at Chelmsford recently, Star Pupil must enter calculations, along with Cosmos Raj, who is 5lb lower than his last success, which came over C&D last year.

Having looked on a workable mark when trained by Owen Burrows, the lightly-raced PURSUIT OF TRUTH may be able to make a winning stable debut for Kevin Philippart de Foy. Tea Sea arrives in great heart and should be in the mix once again, while Prince Ali may be able to maintain his recent run of good form.

There was promise from COSMOS RAJ last time and he looks ready to exploit his reduced mark. Pursuit Of Truth is next best.

(2) Mr Baloo 7/4, Winner of 3 of his last 4 starts. including a career best when landing an 8-runner handicap at this course (8.6f) 7 days ago, edging out a similarly thriving rival. Carries a 5 lb penalty but remains one to be interested in over slightly longer trip.

Last three Flat runs, all at Kempton over further, have been okay; more needed here though.

(10) Dayzee 14/1, Unreliable sort (has refused to race) is a C&D winner. Below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 11/1) 60 days ago and needs to leave that run well behind.
Looks on the downgrade and although her mark continues to drop, she's not a solid option.

20/1(+0%)
(5) Sari Dubai 20/1, Given a considerate introduction to life in the U.K. when eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) on first run since leaving Doug Watson 18 days ago. One to note in the betting on second start for this yard.
Two wins in Dubai for Doug Watson; low-key stable debut at Chelmsford 18 days ago.
LTO Selection:

The hat-trick seeking Mr Baloo appeals under a penalty after winning over the extended mile here last week. The son of Kodi Bear won that race cosily and can have another big say if stepping up a furlong in trip doesn't cause an issue. However, there are no such doubts about PERFECTLY TIMED, who scored readily over 1m2f at Newcastle when last seen. If picking up where he left off in September, a 6lb higher mark could be brushed aside. Shahbaz and Son Of Man complete the shortlist.

Winner of 3 of his last 4 starts, including over this course last time, MR BALOO can enhance his fine recent record over this slightly longer trip. Oslo drops in grade and has slipped to a workable mark, while Charlie's Choice is respected returned to the scene of his latest victory.

A return to form from Wadacre Gomez would be no surprise but MR BALOO is thriving at present and can go in again.

Gelded over the winter and may do better this term.
LTO Selection:

The last-time-out winners FLAINE and Pine Cliffs could be the most profitable pair to focus on, with the former shading preference with her match-fitness proven after scoring comfortably over 1m2f at Lingfield last month. A 5lb higher mark looks fair and another bold showing is highly likely. The latter is less exposed and, having responded well to score in first-time cheekpieces when last seen, he can go well if the retained headgear has a similar impact. Telecommunication and Pink Petunia are others to keep an eye on.

David Loughnane's FLAINE scored in taking style at Lingfield last time so is fancied to defy a 6 lb weight rise at the chief expense of Pink Petunia who looks to have more to offer on the back of a good Southwell fourth and rates a big threat. Pine Cliffs and Yes Honey can both have a say too in an open handicap.

Very interesting contender TELECOMMUNICATION (nap) is readily preferred, ahead of Pine Cliffs.

Down in the weights but doesn't look in the form required to take advantage.
LTO Selection:

DAARIS got back to winning ways under Mason Paetel in an apprentice handicap over this C&D nine days ago and, with the rider now able to claim his full 7lb, the six-year-old must have every chance of following up. Easter Icon beat the selection over the extended 2m here last month but might struggle to uphold the form off 3lb higher over this distance. Moon Over The Sea can also figure.

MOON OVER THE SEA found only a lightly-raced improver too good at Southwell last time, and with that one having gone in again since he makes the most appeal off the same mark in the hope he stays this longer trip. Easter Icon and the other last-time-out course winner Daaris are dangers.

Daaris and Khangai would appear highly likely to run well, but the unexposed CLOUDSIDE ROCK may improve for the the new trip.

7f winner in January but not in same form again since, and this trip may just stretch him.

Very respectable fifth at Lingfield (1m2f) last week; probably better suited by this C&D.

(6) Capallcliste 12/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 28/1, respectable fifth of 10 in minor event at this course (7.2f) 20 days ago. Back up in trip.

Tilsworth Max

16
16/1(+20%)
(11) Tilsworth Max 16/1, Poor gelding. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap (80/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.
Ran quite well in Chelmsford handicap this month but overall profiles remains unappealing.
LTO Selection:

Having defied market expectation when scoring in a handicap over track and trip four days ago, King of The Dance must enter calculations reverting to classified company. However, a 5lb penalty does demand more and preference is for BIG NARSTIE. The seven-year-old arrives on the back of close-up second over 1m2f at Lingfield and this distance looks ideal. We'renotreallyhere and Ajrad are others to consider.

Thin fare and Thursday's C&D handicap winner KING OF THE DANCE seems the obvious way to go. Big Narstie and We'renotreallyhere are a couple of the other likely types.

The return to this C&D will suit WE'RENOTREALLYHERE, who signalled a possible return to form over 1m2f at Lingfield recently.

(1) Boleyn Forever 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden, looks of little account.
Poor form from 7f-2m; impossible to recommend.
LTO Selection:

COMEDIAN LEADER built on her promising third over C&D when finishing second in handicap company at Lingfield last week. The daughter of Aclaim ticks plenty of the right boxes and may have the last laugh. The biggest threat may emerge from Sir Laurence Graff, who has posted several creditable efforts in defeat of late. Star Of Atlantis and Brinton are also noted.

COMEDIAN LEADER was gambled on and ran well when second in a handicap at Lingfield last week, finishing comfortably clear of the rest for all she never laid a glove on the winner. She gets the vote over the returning Meng Tian and Sir Laurence Graff.

Sir Laurence Graff and Comedian Leader are high on the list but MENG TIAN can capitalise on the drop into 0-50 company.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
