11:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

TOPTIME regained the winning thread in smart style over 5f at this venue on his latest outing and is only 6lb higher for that success. Roy Bowring's six-year-old has lots in his favour in his attempt to record a fourth course victory, with his main threat possibly Rebel Empire, who showed big improvement to score in a first-time tongue-tie over C&D. Emily Post completes the shortlist.

Plenty of these arrive in form, with TOPTIME the pick of them having turned a 5f handicap here into a one-sided affair 10 days ago. Rebel Empire opened his account at the same meeting (6f) and has to be feared, along with Ormolulu.

A revelation when bolting up over C&D ten days ago, REBEL EMPIRE (nap) is taken to defy a 9lb rise. Toptime rates the main danger.

Reporter was denied by just under a length in second on his nursery debut at Newcastle on his penultimate start and a repeat of that display would see him go close. However, ARDENNES made a pleasing beginning for the Mick Appleby yard when filling the runner-up spot at Kempton and is only 1lb higher. If he remains in the same form, he could be the one to beat. Carbine Harvester is another to watch out for.

CARBINE HARVESTER was still in need of the experience but improved when making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time and he can score again now that he's up and running. The main danger could be Ardennes, who returned to form on his first start for Mick Appleby.

Ardennes should make another bold bid but CARBINE HARVESTER isn't fully exposed and can make it 2-2 in nurseries.

BELFRINA shaped with bundles of promise when occupying the runner-up berth on her hurdles debut over C&D and she could have plenty more to offer. David Pipe's filly looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. Matwana has shown a fair amount of ability in her two jumping starts to date and was highly tried in Listed company when fourth at Newbury. It would be no surprise to see her get involved, while any market confidence behind Volakes would be interesting.

BELFRINA bumped into a useful prospect on C&D debut a fortnight ago but it was still a promising start and she's fancied to go one place better with that experience behind her. Irisante will find this a lot easier than the Grade 2 she contested last time so she should be a factor, with Matwana expected to be on the premises.

Having performed encouragingly over C&D 16 days ago, BELFRINA holds particularly good claims. Matwana is feared most.

A prolific winner in point-to-points, ROCKY'S HOWYA stands out here by virtue of his excellent fourth in the hunter chase at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival. He made a fine return to action after 18 months off when second to a smart rival in a point in November and this looks a good chance for him to get off the mark under Rules. Rules debutant Willitgoahead represents a top pointing yard and has won four of his nine starts, including a hat-trick of victories since October. Hitak won three points for Ellmarie Holden last winter, but has not been seen since he was pulled up in a good hunter chase at Naas in February. Look Dont Touch has decent placed form in handicap chases.

ROCKY'S HOWYA arrives in form from points and, based on his fourth at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival when last seen under Rules, he should be tough to beat. Willitgoahead has won his last 3 starts between the flags and looks the chief threat ahead of Drumnasoo.

It remains to be seen if ROCKY'S HOWYA is as good as he was but last month's comeback run in a point was encouraging.

Feel The Need accounted for Hitched (third) when successful by a neck over track and trip and he can confirm that form to go close. However, it may pay to side with DEMBE, who justified favouritism to make it two wins from his last three starts at Kempton last month. Simon Pearce's charge remains on a workable mark and it would be no surprise to see him go in again. First Kiss makes her handicap/stable debut and warrants a market check.

If FEEL THE NEED is in the same form as when winning here a couple of weeks ago a 4 lb rise may not prevent him going in again. Hitched had his winning run ended when third to the selection here last time but it was another good run and he's likely to figure prominently again. The shortlist is completed by First Kiss, a possible improver in handicaps for new trainer Ollie Sangster.

A 4lb rise demands more from FEEL THE NEED but he may well be up to the job. Eligible has plenty in his favour too.

ARGENTO BOY had the form of his Punchestown second franked when his conqueror The Big Westerner triumphed in Grade 2 company at Limerick on Thursday. The grey has looked one to follow ever since announcing his arrival with a bang little under a year ago in a Fairyhouse bumper. His efforts after that at the top level weren't anything special but, as a staying hurdler, better can be expected. The hope would be that his stable companion Port Joulain can get back on track after suffering an overreach to his left fore at Punchestown nearly three weeks back. Harbour Highway let his many backers down badly at Fairyhouse and it would take a leap of faith to row in behind him. The likes of I Am Lorenzo and The Enabler seem more solid.

Willie Mullins took this last year with the outstanding Ballyburn and he can repeat the trick with ARGENTO BOY, who shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on hurdling debut at Punchestown 5 weeks ago. The main danger may emerge from The Enabler, who took his form up a notch when second in a big-field maiden at Navan earlier this month, with I Am Lorenzo and Harbour Highway another couple fancied to be involved, too.

This looks like a suitable opportunity for THE ENABLER, getting the hangs of things judged on his run behind Jasmin De Vaux at Navan

An extended 2m might not have been the ideal trip for ACE OF SPADES, but he got the job done at Cheltenham last month and is expected to find further progress up in distance. Small Town Kid made the perfect start to his hurdling career when on target at Newcastle recently. He looks to be the main threat, although Sea God, who didn't fire at Carlisle last time having gone well here in May, would not be out of this either.

ACE OF SPADES did well to come out on top at Cheltenham considering the drop in trip hardly looked ideal, so he's a straightforward choice to defy a penalty now upped to a more suitable distance. Small Town Kid and Far From Over can battle it out for minor honours.

Small Town Kid is respected but Cheltenham winner ACE OF SPADES, who also moves up in trip here, looks the one to beat.

Hurlerontheditch struck by a head at Lingfield last month and he would be foolish to dismiss in his bid for a double. However, INSURRECTION looks the way to go. Paul Nicholls' seven-year-old has competed in deeper contests than this in both of his chase starts to date and a repeat of his runner-up effort in Listed company at Chepstow two starts ago would make him tough to beat. Idy Wood is better than he showed at Newbury last time.

INSURRECTION bettered his hurdles form at the first time of asking sent chasing, runner-up in a listed novice at Chepstow on return, and having had excuses last time he is taken to open his account in this sphere. The biggest threat looks to be Hurlerontheditch, who gained a deserved first win over fences on his latest outing.

Hurlerontheditch is a solid option but preference is for INSURRECTION on account of his promising chase debut second in October.

RUSHEEN was touched off over hurdles at Limerick's Christmas meeting last year before going one better over 2m4f at Fairyhouse. He returned from nine months off with an encouraging effort to finish fifth in a Clonmel handicap on chase debut and should come on for that experience. Atacanter may have found a marathon trip beyond him last time but he was placed twice over 3m1f earlier in the year, including when second at this course in March. Quornofamonday and Duffys Getaway are hurdle winners who make some appeal in their first handicap over fences, while Whateys Quest will be suited by this trip and market strength would be significant.

RUSHEEN offered something to work on sent chasing after 9 months off at Clonmel and remains on a good mark on hurdles form. Duffys Getaway and Quornofamonday should do better now handicapping and head the dangers.

Having run well over hurdles at this fixture last year, RUSHEEN came back from a layoff to make a promising chase debut at Clonmel

Being an habitual slow starter, BOWOOD is not without risk. However, he counters that with an impressive haul of three wins from six starts since joining Ivan Furtado and looks worth chancing after another bold effort when second in a similar event over C&D. Elle-May Croot gets on well with the four-year-old and her claim is another factor in his favour. Bella Bisbee, a winner over 7f here last time, and the still-unexposed Vibrato are also solid options.

BELLA BISBEE only went up 2 lb for her recent 7f course success and is taken to defy the handicapper. Bowood will be a threat if in the same form as when going close over C&D a fortnight ago. Gincident is also down to a mark he should be very competitive from.

On the back of a career-best effort, BOWOOD could well go one better and record a first AW win. Gincident is second choice.

Considering that stamina has always looked to be ARTIC LANE's forte, he did well to get it done, albeit only just, over a trip marginally shy of two miles at Thurles last month. It's obviously encouraging to note that the one he edged out on that occasion, Relieved Of Duties, has since bolted up at Cork. Now that he has the winning habit again (the selection did impress in a point-to-point in the past), it may pay to put the memory of some short-priced defeats in the past. Artic Lane ought to have sufficient jumping experience for a handicap debut where a mark of 116 looks workable. Liam McKenna's claim and 2m4f are further boosts to the Queally runner's chances, and he was second previously at this track. Very much in-form duo Ol Man Dingle and Sonny May certainly need considering closely.

It's hard to get away from TAPONTHEGO, who slammed 19 rivals in novice company at Tipperary a month ago and his opening mark looks lenient. Big Chou also arrives on the up so he needs respecting, along with Fenway Park down in trip.

A chance is taken on FENWAY PARK who shaped with promise on his handicap bow at Navan over further and this trip should suit better

A few of these will fancy their chances including Young Jack, who had GAILLIMH A STOR (third) in behind when on target over C&D three weeks ago. The latter was returning from a lengthy absence, though, and, if coming on for that performance, he could reverse the form on revised terms. Ballytechno struggled in a Grade 2 at Sandown recently but he is of interest back in a handicap, as is Nab Wood, who looks to complete a C&D hat-trick having notched up a brace of successes at the start of the year.

NAB WOOD created a favourable impression when scoring twice over C&D earlier in the year, and although he'd ideally benefit from more juice in the ground, he is still the one who appeals most for a yard whose horses are in flying form. There are plenty of others with chances, including fellow C&D winner Young Jack,who could be dangerous if getting his own way in front, and Guernsey who ran his best race in a while when third 18 days ago. Ballytechno gets an honourable mention now upped in trip.

Nab Wood is feared but DUNNET HEAD (nap) has races in him off this mark and he's back over hurdles after failing to fire in a chase.

Barrabooka took a step forward to score by six lengths at Wetherby earlier in the month and is likely to have more to offer, but he might find it tough to give his 6lb penalty away to ETERNAL ANGEL. Nicky Henderson's four-year-old shaped with lots of promise when making the frame on his first start over hurdles at Huntingdon and, with the likelihood of plenty more to come, he could be the one to beat. Jordans Cross is another to note.

ETERNAL ANGEL has produced a couple of promising efforts under Rules so far and, with further improvement on the cards, Nicky Henderson's 4-y-o can build on his hurdling debut third now stepping up in trip at the expense of Jordans Cross, who made a winning start in this sphere at Southwell recently and should also have plenty more to offer. Monty Bodkin, who has had a wind op since last seen, can edge out Barrabooka for minor honours.

Course bumper winner Monty Bodkin could go well but preference is for UNLEASH THE BEAST who can improve for the step up in trip.

An interesting clash between the three and four-year-olds and Cork winner ROBBIES ROCK can strike for the juveniles. Gavin Cromwell's charge was well backed when readily landing an all-aged handicap last time and may be progressive enough to defy what is effectively a 14lb rise. Useful on the Flat, fellow three-year-old Messerschmitt was Grade 3-placed after winning a Galway maiden in October and is also of interest. Eagles Reign had a couple of these rivals behind when landing a valuable four-year-old handicap at Listowel but may be vulnerable under top weight, while Balko D'ange could be on a reasonable opening mark after showing plenty in maidens.

ROBBIES ROCK won in the style of a very well-treated horse 16 days ago, and such was the manner of his victory that a 14 lb rise may not be enough to stop him winning again. Balko d'Ange can make it a hat-trick of seconds and Ifitwasme can go well again in this sphere.

A competitive handicap. BALKO D'ANGE has had the form of his latest defeat here franked and he's interesting now sent handicapping.

It's difficult to assess what WAITING FOR LOVE actually achieved when she won by seven lengths in a novice event at Wolverhampton. However, it was promising enough to suggest she can brush aside a penalty in this company. Muddy Mooy won with less in hand at Chelmsford on her debut in January, but is interesting returning for a new stable after a break. Nahy, who cost 525,000gns as a yearling, is another must for the shortlist.

WAITING FOR LOVE confirmed debut promise when a wide-margin winner at Wolverhampton and is the one to beat under a penalty. The well-bred Zepparella should have more to offer having left her debut run well behind when third at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and rates the main threat ahead of debut-winner Muddy Mooy, who has an absence and penalty to overcome.

Wolverhampton scorer WAITING FOR LOVE looks capable of defying a 5lb penalty. Second choice is Zepparella.

JETARA may be able to repeat last year's success in this competitive looking heat. Her 145 official rating certainly makes the Jessica Harrington representative the one to aim at, and the Walk In The Park mare will find it less taxing back solely against her own sex now. She was showing signs of being in season post-race when fifth behind Home By The Lee in the Lismullen Hurdle last time. Prior to that it became apparent that there were more strings to her bow than just staying power, Jetara clearly delighting connections by displaying sufficient pace to win a Curragh maiden over 1m4f. Given that she's progressing at a rate of knots, World Of Fortunes won't be taken lightly by anyone. The powerhouse yards will make their presence felt also, with Lot Of Joy seemingly sure to be there or thereabouts.

This looks open but LOT OF JOY was better than ever when scoring in listed company at Punchestown last time and she can rise to the occasion again for all that Jetara and July Flower have achieved a bit more than her in form terms. A case can be made for all of the remainder.

WORLD OF FORTUNES will love the ground, is proven at the trip and she'd be a much shorter price if Mullins or Elliott trained her.

Jehol De Thaix was narrowly denied in a bumper at Uttoxeter in July and looks to hold solid claims now sent over hurdles, but this could go the way of talented Flat performer CHICHESTER. Lucinda Russell's charge achieved a peak rating of 110 when trained on the level and if transferring that ability to this new discipline, he will be tough to beat. Market support for Captain Butler would be noteworthy.

BALLYVANGO shaped well in a pretty warm maiden at Chepstow in the autumn and fancied to build on that, so he looks the way to go. Chichester is a potentially classy recruit to this sphere, with Jehol de Thaix also of interest given his previous encouraging run in a bumper.

This may go to BALLYVANGO who shaped with promise in bumpers and again on hurdling debut behind the classy The New Lion.

BRIDES HILL defeated La Renommee when conceding 2lb at Huntingdon back in January before going on to land a bloodless success in a Grade 2 at the Punchestown Festival. She's not been seen since then and must now concede 6lb to La Renommee, but Gavin Cromwell's mare has an excellent record when fresh and can pick up where she left off. Fantastic Lady could be the main threat.

BRIDES HILL was really thriving and getting better when last seen and, while that was 8 months ago, she's still the obvious one to side with. Fantastic Lady and La Renommee can both compete with the selection in terms of form but have sub-par efforts to put behind them.

Gavin Cromwell won this last year with Limerick Lace and the stable's BRIDES HILL looks the one to beat today.

Dual-purpose performer SAY IT SO has been in terrific form under both codes since midsummer and can provide his trainer with another winner at his local festival meeting. The Raven's Pass gelding has won twice on the level since landing a Killarney handicap hurdle in October and can defy an 8lb hike to register a fifth win in 2024. Rut Daniels was a facile winner of a maiden on the inner track here last month and is open to further improvement after just four starts over flights. Killaney King has yet to build on the promise shown on last year's hurdling debut, which saw him finish second at Punchestown, but he should be all the better for his respectable return to action at Cork three weeks ago.

The thriving SAY IT SO completed a cross-code hat-trick at Dundalk last month and this looks another winnable event for him back over hurdles. The progressive Rut Daniels is next best ahead of Killaney King.

SINGOURA, who chased home a now 78-rated opponent on debut, has the scope to build on that and can get off the mark at the second time of asking. Gemma Tutty's filly was keen in the early stages of that race, but a more settled approach could make her hard to beat with the experience to draw upon. Commendation represents a powerful yard and could leave behind her two Newbury performances. Suzuka offered some encouragement at Newcastle and is another to consider.

MY MATE BEATTIE showed improved form when runner-up on her nursery bow at Wolverhampton and sets the standard back in a novice. Suzuka did some decent late work starting out at Newcastle and should have more to offer over this extra 1f, while Singoura made an eye-catching debut when second at the same track 5 weeks ago.

Singoura and SUZUKA both shaped well on their Newcastle debuts and the latter could take the bigger step forward.

BIG STAGE put a Navan fall behind him with a fine third at long odds behind the top-class Impaire Et Passe at Fairyhouse and, with further progress possible now upped in trip, Gordon Elliott's six-year-old could be well treated on his handicap chase debut off a mark of 123. This is competitive, though, with Sam Magee also likely to relish the return to further after he won going away off 8lb lower over an extended 2m5f at Fairyhouse. St Denis's Well was second that day but reopposes Henry de Bromhead's gelding on better terms and has since scored over hurdles. Ballybrack Wood and the hat-trick seeking Jouster are just two others to consider.

Any number to consider but BIG STAGE appeals as the type to do better in well-run handicaps over fences so he's just about the most persuasive option. Jouster, Ballybawn Belter and Doran's Law are all of interest.

The improving JOUSTER won snugly over hurdles last time and may reverse previous chase form with Ballybrack Wood

Dan Skelton has found the key to success with Beat Box and, given the eight-year-old has only lost one of his six previous starts for the yard, there are solid reasons to expect another big run. However, the gelding has gone up 31lb in the handicap as a result and looks vulnerable at this level. With that in mind, recent Wetherby winner CAITHNESS must have a big chance of turning over his likely main rival off just 6lb higher. Carcaci Castle looks the pick of the remainder.

CAITHNESS has taken to fences very well and remains one to keep on the right side of after beating a subsequent winner at Wetherby last month. Beat Box enhanced his impressive strike rate for this yard at Hereford and is the obvious threat.

Beat Box is a big danger but CAITHNESS produced a professional performance at Wetherby and he can follow up.

Custom Taylor showed useful bumper form and stepping back up in distance should suit after her staying-on third on hurdling debut over 2m at Galway. A bumper winner with lots of hurdling experience, Mi Lucky Cailin was over five lengths behind Custom Taylor at Galway. Second in half of her eight starts in this sphere, her best form is over 2m and she is not sure to be suited by this trip.

SOMMESKY shaped encouragingly in a well-run maiden on last month's Fairyhouse hurdling debut and has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Custom Taylor looks the obvious one to give him most to think about, with Mi Lucky Cailin appealing as best of the rest.

Expected to be much sharper for that pipe-opener, Willie Mullins' Champion Hurdle hero can gain revenge and claim this prize for the third year in a row. It looks a match between the top two in the betting, with Mystical Power possibly best of the remainder.

With an outing under his belt STATE MAN is taken to reverse Morgiana form with Brighterdaysahead and land this Grade 1 prize for the third year in succession.

Several Mullins stars have underperformed this week but an on-song STATE MAN should be able to avenge his Punchestown defeat

BELLBIRD has been consistent since joining Donald McCain and, although she is creeping up in the weights, a race of this nature appears well within her compass. With the step back up in trip likely to suit, the daughter of Postponed can make amends for a narrow defeat under today's rider at Windsor a fortnight ago. The class-dropping three-year-old Inspire Hope and top-weighted Komedy Kicks are suggested as the pick of the remainder, with the former feared most in receipt of 5lb from the selection.

KOMEDY KICKS is given a chance to build on a promising first run for the Dan Skelton yard at Ludlow. The in-form Bellbird and Rebecca Menzies handicap debutante Inspire Hope may provide the main opposition.

Komedy Kicks is respected but INSPIRE HOPE is interesting on her handicap debut providing a recent fall hasn't left a mark.

An excellent third in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April, BUGISE SEAGULL sets a good standard and although he was already well held before being pulled up in a Grade 2 over fences at Newbury last month, this is significantly easier and he is hard to oppose. Pyffo and Quick Draw both get plenty of weight from the selection and can make things tough if the step up in trip catches him out.

Difficult to make a strong case for any of these. We almost certainly didn't see the best of PYFFO on stable debut, for a yard that usually does so well with new recruits. Back up in trip today, he can take this race. Super Survivor encountered very testing ground on his comeback run 22 days ago, and assuming that hasn't left a mark, he looks the standout danger with cheekpieces back on. Bugise Seagull has some smart form as a novice hurdler and is respected back over the smaller obstacles.

None of these managed to pose a threat on their latest starts and a chance is taken on ERNE RIVER because of his excellent record here.

For horses that haven't been placed in the past, but RESTLESS LADY served notice that she's going the right way at Punchestown last time. Fifth on that occasion, when a 250/1 chance, Gary Noonan clearly got a good tune out of the Sageburg mare. He unsurprisingly retains the ride and his claim is useful. Going back up in trip is unlikely to do the locally-owned hope any harm either. With a rating of 92. the selection is a little bit off the likes of I Ballyadam Moon on 102, and he's one of a few who need respecting with decent claiming riders booked. Amateur jockey David Doyle ought to get a good spin from Ned In The Park. This fellow is returning off a break. The market can guide with regard to him, and others in a similar situation.

The lightly-raced HACKNEY HILL was still learning on job when last seen on the track, and he looks capable of progressing now returning to action following a 211-day break. Ned In The Park showed promise in bumpers and is interesting on hurdles debut, while I Ballyadam Moon's latest run looks too bad to be true.

Not many to consider. NED IN THE PARK showed enough in his bumpers to believe he's up to winning a maiden of this nature.

The vote goes to KHANGAI, who kept on gamely to score over 1m4f at Wolverhampton earlier this month and if improving for the step up in trip, should not be overburdened by a 3lb rise in the handicap. Socialist Agenda faded out of contention over the extended 2m at Newcastle recently, but he merits respect dropped in distance. A drop in class and trip could also bring Albert Lasker into contention.

A low-level handicap and a chance is taken on LINDWALL, who'll surely go close from an easing mark if returning to the sort of form shown on his penultimate outing at Newcastle. Last-time-out scorer Khangai is the danger ahead of Socialist Agenda.

Khangai is in good form but SOCIALIST AGENDA can confirm the promise of his staying wins on the AW in the spring.

TOUNSIVATOR's Royal Bond defeat of Romeo Coolio was boosted by the winner landing Friday's Grade 1 here. Willie Mullins' five-year-old finished with a wet sail at Fairyhouse so the extra half-mile could see him in an even better light. Mr Percy put a hurdling debut mishap behind him by winning at Limerick before filling the runner-up berth in a Navan Grade 3, although he lacks experience of the hurly-burly of a race of this nature. His stablemate Comfort Zone remains nicely treated in this sphere, and his owner JP McManus has a typically strong hand, with Park Of Kings fancied to reverse Naas running with The Busy Fool. Sa Fureur was impressive over fences last time and drops to a considerably lower mark.

SA FUREUR followed a promising third in a Navan handicap hurdle on his reappearance by defying his higher chase mark back at the same venue 3 weeks ago and can go in again back over the smaller obstacles. Mr Percy has made a promising start to his hurdle career and is a very interesting newcomer to the handicapping scene. Royal Bond winner Tounsivator and the selection's stablemate Harsh complete the shortlist.

SIR ALLEN was hampered when 3rd behind The Busy Fool and Park Of Kings at Naas. With a clear run here, he may turn that around

Nicky Richards' horses have been in fine form and SENOR LOMBARDY can be the latest stable representative to make a big impact. The veteran proved he is no back number with a respectable second to an in-form rival at Wetherby on his debut for the Cumbria-based trainer last month. He can go one better off an unchanged mark. With several others struggling to find their form, C&D winner Camp Belan could emerge as the chief threat, although Skyhill is not ruled out from the foot of the handicap.

SENOR LOMBARDY hasn't won under Rules for a long time but he made a positive debut for this stable at Wetherby last time and, if in the same form, he could take the beating. Back On The Lash returns to handicap company with a live chance and Camp Belan shouldn't be ruled out.

The pick is SENOR LOMBARDY, who made a very encouraging stable debut last month and remains very well handicapped on older form.

This galloping course should suit the progressive NO NO FIZZ, who has been dominant in winning two of her three starts since joining Fergal O'Brien. Having scored with ruthless efficiency at Musselburgh, another bold showing is expected, despite an 8lb higher mark. Book Of Tales was a ready winner on his only previous outing over hurdles and returns from a break with bags of scope on his handicap debut. Lady D'arbanville is also feared cutting back in trip from a potentially lenient rating.

There was plenty to like about the way WILLIE SHAKE HANDS travelled when third on his 19.5f course handicap debut earlier in the month and he can show he's on a good mark back at 2m. The hat-trick seeking No No Fizz rates an obvious danger, while it would also be no surprise to see Lady d'Arbanville get her career back on track now handicapping.

The progressive mare NO NO FIZZ (nap) readily made all at Musselburgh three weeks ago and can complete the hat-trick.

Last year's winner ANOTHER OCANA may be able to go back-to-back. Louis Archdeacon's charge has also scored at this venue in the interim, taking a handicap chase in April. The son of Court Cave now competes off a mark favourable relative to his rating over fences and there's little doubt that he's been building slowly towards this target since reappearing off a break in October. Trainers Michael Winters and John Flavin are both strong numerically, with two contenders apiece. In truth, though, dangers to Another Ocana are dotted throughout this field. Back on Irish soil, Jack In The Box could be interesting if attracting market support. At the bottom of the weights, The Lucky Lobster starts off for new owners with prospects. Clonmel victor Duffys Hodey is likely to be thereabouts again.

A few of these can do better now handicapping but the percentage call is DUFFYS HODEY, who was better than ever when successful at Clonmel a month ago. French Hill and Stellar Symphony are potential threats.

Given how DUFFYS HODEY emerged from off the pace to win so well at Clonmel, the 8lb rise could have been worse.

STREET LIFE has been holding his form well in recent starts and, with far less to prove than some of these, he ought to go very close with the assistance of Ryan Kavanagh's 7lb claim. Show Me Show Me might not be the force of old, but he merits respect at this level and it would come as no surprise to see a big run. Ninety Nine reached the frame at Newcastle last month and appeals as one of the likelier candidates from a 3lb higher mark.

SHOW ME SHOW ME was better than the result last time and he's handicapped to win now so, down in grade, he's worth a chance to take this if the pace is strong enough. Street Life is in good order and should be on the premises again, and So Grateful can't be dismissed.

So Grateful and SHOW ME SHOW ME appeal as being a cut above this level and can fight out the finish.

KOKTAIL BRUT is quite prominent in the ante-post market for the Champion Bumper, and deservedly so following a sparkling victory on his first start under Rules at Fairyhouse. That went some way to justifying the 250,000 euros shelled out for him after he won his sole point-to-point in bloodless fashion and he is yet another exciting prospect for the Gigginstown/Gordon Elliott combination. Sortudo justified odds-on favouritism with the minimum of fuss at Tramore and is expected to step forward. Elliott's apparent second string William Butler sprung a surprise on debut, but there was certainly no fluke about it. The application of a hood can help Galway winner Colcannon get competitive in this better contest.

Point winner KOKTAIL BRUT made an impressive switch to Rules when bolting up in a Fairyhouse bumper and he's fancied to keep the 100% record intact for all that Sortudo also created a big impression Tramore first time out. William Butle is also considered.

It was hard not to be impressed by the manner of KOKTAIL BRUT'S win at Fairyhouse and he could be tough to beat.

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.
