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

Autocrat and PACHMENA are closely matched on running behind Banana Three over C&D last month and slight preference goes to the Gavin Cromwell-trained mare. She won a lady riders' handicap over this trip at the Curragh in October and Calum Hogan looks good value for his claim in this apprentice race. Storm Eric has gained both previous wins here over seven furlongs, but looks a strong contender having finished strongly to fill the runner-up spot on his latest two starts over an extended 10 furlongs. Old Peculier was fitted with blinkers for the first time when opening his account here last month, while Palace Rock and Celtic Revival are others to consider.

Cases can be make for several but the tentative vote goes to PALACE ROCK, who has headgear on for the first time in his career and should appreciate the drop back to 1½m. Second choice is Storm Eric, who is holding his form really well (six in-frame efforts on the bounce) and looked a shade unlucky not to collect here last month. Recent course winners Old Peculier and Hasten Slowly can fight out minor honours.

Preference is for STORM ERIC, narrowly beaten twice over 1m2f before Christmas with the step up in trip likely to suit

EDDIE G wasn't helped by anticipating the start and hitting the stalls on his handicap debut over C&D last month but still ran a cracker when third to Milliethemollie, with Sophia Klimt and Relentless Flyer well behind. The Ado McGuinness-trained colt, who previously showed promise in maidens, notably at this venue, was well backed on that occasion and losses may now be recovered. Mary Shoelaces was placed twice here behind Scorchio over the minimum trip, but may not be as effective over this extra furlong. Bruce Lightning has shown pace on his latest two starts here over seven, including when runner-up to Seti, with Exceeding back in fourth. The latter has lost his chance a few times at the start, including when getting upset in the stalls last time.

EDDIE G failed to take the anticipated step forward when third on his handicap debut over C&D last month, but he still ran well and looks the most persuasive option from the same mark. Mary Shoelaces is sure to be a big threat if bouncing straight back to form, while similar comments apply to Bruce Lightning,

A weak-looking handicap for the grade and seemingly a good opportunity for EDDIE G (nap) to recoup recent losses

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

VOLATILE ANALYST won six times for Keith Dalgleish, including twice over this trip, to earn a career-high rating of 105. The gelding joined Ado McGuinness last summer and went very close to adding to that tally when just failing to peg back Cash Or Crypto on his penultimate start. He didn't enjoy a clear run last time, but still wasn't beaten far and the step up to seven should suit. Chica Power recorded her fourth C&D win in a claimer earlier this winter campaign and the front-runner beat all bar Bride Tree on her latest start. Gobi Star and El Bello both won twice over C&D in November, but have more on their plate now. Free Solo, Exquisite Acclaim and Western Cape are others to note.

2022-winner PRISONER'S DILEMMA should have come on for his return here last month and is worth chancing from a very tempting mark. Ado McGuinness might have the dangers in Exquisite Acclaim and Volatile Analyst.

The one to be on could be EXQUISITE ACCLAIM, who will also appreciate the return to this trip after disappointing over 1m last time

NERANO cost 250,000 euros at a breeze-up sale in Arqana last spring and made a promising debut over C&D last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained son of War Front didn't enjoy the clearest of passages on the stand side in the straight but kept on well into third behind Raknah, with subsequent winner McVay a length behind in fourth. Artful Approach showed promise on both maiden starts and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to this surface, while I Bid You Ajou, placed behind the aforementioned McVay, and Nedita are others to consider. The Bear Trap filled the runner-up spot twice for Jessica Harrington and was again just denied over seven furlongs last time. A visor is now replaced by cheekpieces.

NERANO cost plenty last year and December's debut over C&D was full of promise, ultimately finishing third. Sure to build on that, he's the one to beat, with the quirky The Bear Trap and I Bid You Ajou a couple of potential threats.

Joseph O'Brien runs four here and may collect with NERANO who failed to get a clear run here five weeks ago and is open to improvement

BEAUTIFUL DAWN is by the sprinter Starspangledbanner but there is plenty of stamina on her dam's side and the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly, who cost 330,000 euros as a yearling at the Goffs Orby Sale, may appreciate this step up in trip. She weakened in the closing stages when fifth on debut here over six furlongs in the maiden won by Anvika, and the runner-up has gone one better since. The remainder with form make limited appeal and any market moves for the newcomers would be significant. Timana is of obvious interest and the Aga Khan's homebred daughter of Footstepsinthesand is out of an unraced High Chaparral mare. The selection's stablemates Beyond Your Dreams and Dancing Leaves are both bred to stay at least a mile, while Mm Dragonfly hails from a yard whose newcomers generally progress from a run.

Joseph O'Brien could hold the key to this and BEAUTIFUL DAWN is chanced to build on a promising debut here 6 weeks ago and open her account, with the longer trip likely to suit. Beyond Your Dreams and Dancing Leaves are interesting newcomers for the yard, as is the Aga Khan's Timana for Johnny Murtagh.

Joseph O'Brien has three runners and the experience of the once-raced BEAUTIFUL DAWN may prove decisive.

John McConnell holds a strong hand here and perhaps ZAHEE can land the spoils. The Iffraaj gelding has gained all three career wins over a mile, including twice at this venue, and having dropped down to an attractive mark, indicated another victory may be imminent when keeping on well into fourth behind Comfort Line just before Christmas. Stablemate Cousin Shay was just a neck behind in fifth and is an obvious threat, while Knockmore Prince has also joined McConnell after being claimed out of Noel Meade's yard last month. Snag It made a successful start for Pat Murphy in November and now drops down in trip after another decent effort behind Garrick Painter last month.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and course-winner COUSIN SHAY is taken to resume winning ways now he has slipped to a handy-looking mark. Humanitarian is also weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of fellow course scorer Snag It.

John McConnell holds a strong hand here with ZAHEE taken to confirm recent C&D form with Cousin Shay

CHERRY PINK looked a certain future winner when placed behind better fancied stablemate Doctor Grace on her handicap debut early last year and was returning to this venue for the first time since when again shaping well behind Tynamite just before Christmas. She looks on an attractive mark. Arthur's Victory won three times in the UK for Joseph Parr and dropped into this grade for the first time when keeping on well to be beaten less than three lengths behind Comfort Line last month. Kudbegood, a three-time winner over C&D, is closely matched with Arthur's Victory on that run, while others to consider include Tara Power and Gatsby Cap.

KUDBEGOOD should be spot on after making a solid return from a break over C&D last month and is taken to notch a fourth C&D win of his career. Cherry Pink ran well in the blinkers last time and heads the dangers along with Tara Power. Last year's winner Feature This would also need considering if getting a run.

CHERRY PINK caught the eye staying on over 7f here last month and is taken to get off the mark here over this longer trip

COME ON THE LADS made a promising debut on testing ground at Leopardstown in October and, if handling this surface, has strong claims. The Elzaam gelding was only beaten a length when third to better-fancied stablemate Givemehoperosa, keeping on well over nine furlongs to suggest he should get this longer trip. Squire Danagher has given encouragement on all four outings and perhaps the combination of a six-month break and stepping up to 1m4f proved too much in the closing stages when a short-priced favourite here last month. Andy Oliver's charge had newcomer Scatchwah two lengths behind when third to the useful Valiant King at Navan last spring. Dawn Rider is a serious threat on her second to Oliver's Apercu over C&D last month, but disappointed when dropping back to a mile the following week.

COME ON THE LADS ran with credit on debut at Leopardstown 82 days ago and, with cheekpieces fitted, he can find enough improvement to get off the mark at the second attempt. Squire Danagher has achieved slightly more than the selection but is more exposed, while Scatchwah can take a hand if he's ready to go after 8 months off.

A slightly shorter trip and the benefit of the run are potential positives for SQUIRE DANAGHER, third in a 1m4f maiden here last month

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.
