AH WHISHT was just denied at Plumpton in March when attempting to follow up her hurdling debut success at Ffos Las. Related to some useful performers, an opening mark of 117 may underestimate her true ability and the six-year-old gets the vote in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Cherie D'am enters calculations based on what she has achieved over hurdles to date, while a wind operation could aid the cause of Royale Dance.

It's hard to get away from REALISATION, who escapes a penalty for last week's smooth win on handicap debut at Southwell. Could Be Trouble is pretty exposed but is very likely to give it another good shot, with An Whisht a potential improver on reappearance.

Cherie D'Am isn't opposed lightly but REALISATION (nap) had them well strung out at Southwell and can race off the same mark here.

RIDERS ONTHE STORM goes particularly well fresh having landed the Old Roan over C&D on his seasonal return last season off a 6lb higher mark, and it would be no surprise if connections have had this mapped out as the plan for a while. Ibleo makes his first appearance since the 2021 Topham and has to be respected with the stable continuing their excellent run of form. Top Ville Ben was pulled up at Cheltenham last time, but is preferred over Mac Tottie in the battle for third.

The time to catch RIDERS ONTHE STORM has often been when fresh and he's expected to make a bold bid back from 8 months off, now operating 6 lb below the mark he defied when landing last season's Old Roan Chase on his return. Ibleo, back from a mammoth absence, could well emerge as the chief danger for the red-hot Venetia Williams stable.

Two-time course winner RIDERS ONTHE STORM goes well fresh and earns the vote on his return to action. Ibleo is second choice.

Farren Glory would set the standard based on his Royal Bond victory at Fairyhouse earlier this month but the form of that contest does appear to be questionable and he faces a plethora of contenders who arrive with unexposed profiles. JANGO BAIE made a bright start to his Rules career at Ascot when doing plenty wrong in the process before battling on strongly to get the better of Tellherthename. The latter showcased the form by bolting up at Huntingdon, in a contest that has already worked out well, and the selection is expected to have come on plenty from that initial experience. Favour And Fortune has done very little wrong in two hurdling starts and is respected along with Florida Dreams, who won the Grade 2 bumper here in April.

In receipt of weight from male opposition, French raider JULY FLOWER looks the one to be with having posted a smart performance when runner-up at the top level last month. Jango Baie and Tellherthename fought out the finish at Ascot last month and both look very useful prospects.

Having already won a Grade 1, Irish raider FARREN GLORY gets the vote but there are lots of possible threats, headed by Kamsinas.

MINELLA DRAMA struggled in a Grade 2 over fences last time but his previous second in the Old Roan here in October suggests that he could be hard to stop now switched to the smaller obstacles. Bucksy Des Epeires hit the crossbar at Sandown a couple of weeks ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Bingoo and Resplendent Grey complete the shortlist.

A winner on return/yard debut at Lingfield in November, BUCKSY DES EPEIRES again ran well and was deserving of extra credit in sustaining his effort given he was ridden more prominently than most when second at Sandown 17 days ago. He's fancied to go well again back up in trip. Sholokjack is falling in the weights and this drop in trip may help. Bingoo and Minella Drama are others to consider in a competitive affair.

Classic Lord holds major interest despite being 5lb out of the handicap but BUCKSY DES EPEIRES is preferred after his Sandown 2nd.

SOME SCOPE appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over this trip at Catterick a month ago and a 5lb rise for that success may vastly underestimate the five-year-old. No But I Will could prove to be the main threat to the selection following his success at Wetherby last time, although Coconut Splash and Duke Of Deception should not be underestimated.

SOME SCOPE showed the benefit of his chase debut experience and was value for extra when opening his account in this sphere at Catterick 32 days ago, 3 lengths clear when eased close home. A 5 lb rise for that success looks fair and he rates a big player with the prospect of more to come. No But I Will and Snipe finished 1-2 respectively at Wetherby recently and that pair head up the dangers.

There is surely improvement in NO BUT I WILL, who put up such a sound performance on his chasing debut to win at Wetherby.

Graded performer Tahmuras disappointed on his chasing debut last month, but he is likely to come good at some point and the addition of first-time cheekpieces could give him an added boost. That said, a chance is taken on HEROS, who bids to extend his unbeaten record over fences following a brace of Taunton successes. General Officer bolted up at Doncaster 24 days ago and a subsequent 7lb rise might not be enough to stop him if turning up in a similar mood.

HEROS has made a fine start over fences, landing back-to-back Taunton handicaps in recent weeks and he looks a big player in his hat-trick bid with the prospect of more to come. Harbour Lake, on chase debut, is an intriguing contender, with Chasing Fire another fancied to figure.

An interesting field may be headed by GENERAL OFFICER who is not fully exposed over this sort of trip.

Gamesters Guy and Union Avenue were both narrow winners on their first starts under Rules and they merit respect, as does Farland, who debuts for the Paul Nicholls team having finished fourth in a warm Punchestown bumper in April. The vote, however, goes to JACCOURS. The son of Gris De Gris, a half-brother to two winners, represents an in-form stable which has also excelled in this sphere previously.

FARLAND has been acquired by Paul Nicholls since shaping well at Punchestown first time out and, with plenty of improvement expected, he's fancied to open his account at the possible expense of Monty Bodkin, who also made a promising start. The New Lion is an interesting newcomer on paper.

An interesting bumper. FARLAND sets the bar high on his debut fourth at Punchestown and can make a winning start for Paul Nicholls.

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.
