With the likes of Chti Balko, Lord Of Cheshire and Whistle Stop Tour all likely to want to make the running, it might pay to side with hold-up performer EL JEFE, who arrives in fine form having recorded a brace of victories at Sedgefield recently. Sacre Pierre has been off the track since March, but he can go well when fresh and is handicapped to do so.

Veteran CHTI BALKO showed he is still no back number when returning to winning ways impressively at Bangor last time and looks weighted to follow up despite being raised 6 lb for that victory. Lord of Cheshire is much less exposed and rates a big threat on the back of his Warwick success. The returning Knowwhentoholdem can also have a say for his new stable.

Three of the recent winners prefer to lead and the likely good pace can suit KNOWWHENTOHOLDEM (nap) on his handicap debut.

DOYEN STAR failed to make an impact in a Grade 2 at Wincanton on his chasing debut, but a drop in class ought to present Evan Williams' charge with a gilt-edged opportunity. That said, Inedit Star heads the trio on official ratings and he should progress from his recent Wetherby second. Issuing Authority has a bit to find, but any improvement will bring him firmly into the reckoning.

INEDIT STAR looks a winner in waiting over fences judged on the way he jumped and travelled on his first attempt at Wetherby and he might be able to dominate his 2 rivals here.

If INEDIT STAR jumps and travels out in front like he did at Wetherby he should be hard to reel in.

Having secured a midfield finish in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April, ALFIE'S PRINCESS has not looked back upon switching to hurdles, winning on both starts. She faces some equally as exciting prospects today, but the daughter of Shirocco can stand her authority in this higher grade. Little Miss Dante completed the hat-trick at Uttoxeter last month and must be feared. Others to note include Pawapuri and El Elefante.

ALFIE'S PRINCESS has a likeable way of going about things and, with further improvement on the cards, she's fancied to take the step up in grade in her stride and maintain her unbeaten record over hurdles. Little Miss Dante and Pawapuri also look promising, and they head the opposition in an interesting event.

Although EL ELEFANTE lost her unbeaten rules record in a Grade 2 last time she wasn't beaten far and can now resume winning ways.

Enqarde won this in 2021 off a 1lb higher mark and is back for more after winning on his return at Warwick in November. The nine-year-old is impossible to ignore, but he may have to settle for a place on this occasion. Famous Bridge seems likely to prove popular after winning last time out, but he was only a length in front of CREDO that day, and he meets that rival on 3lb worse terms now. The selection stays even further and a fast-run race, as expected here, could play to his strengths.

FAMOUS BRIDGE didn't look all out when accounting for Credo and Eleanor Bob in a C&D handicap on Betfair Chase day and can continue a step ahead of the handicapper. Bill Baxter wasn't disgraced in the ultra-competitive Coral Gold Cup at Newbury at the beginning of the month and might be the one to give the selection most to do.

Famous Bridge is the obvious starting point but ELEANOR BOB is not without hope of reversing last month's placings over C&D.

The early betting suggests this is wide-open, but with the Donald McCain yard in among the winners, GOOBINATOR could go well. Last seen winning on the Flat at Catterick in late-October, the returns to hurdles doesn't appear likely to stop him from progressing further. Stable companion Word Has It won at Fontwell last month and only has 1lb more from the handicapper now which makes him a serious rival, along with Risk D'Argent, who looks booked for yet another place over the smaller obstacles. Jagwar was narrowly denied when second on his UK debut at Aintree in October and should go well again.

BOIS GUILLBERT remains capable of better and can resume winning ways back in a handicap. Goobinator is well treated on his best hurdles form and a Flat success at Catterick in the autumn suggests he retains all his ability so he's second choice ahead of Risk d'Argent. Jagwar could also have a big say if turning up here rather than Ascot on Friday.

The pick is BOIS GUILLBERT, who is 3-5 over hurdles and faded out of contention in only the closing stages of a good race last time.

Backers of REAL STONE never had a moment of worry as the eight-year-old romped home over C&D last month and he is difficult to oppose, despite a subsequent 8lb hike in the ratings. Bythesametoken finished second to a rival at Down Royal that went on to hit the frame in a Listed contest next time so he appeals as the most likely threat. Netywell can chase the pair home ahead of Rose Sea Has.

This looks to revolve around the lightly-raced REAL STONE, who gained a bloodless success over C&D 4 weeks ago and Dan Skelton's charge is likely capable of better still. Irish-raider Bythesametoken and Netywell can chase him home in that order.

The race that REAL STONE won here last time rather fell to bits but he looked on really good terms with himself.

J'AI FROID was able to take advantage of a declining handicap mark when winning at Leicester last month, and he might be worth siding with once again from just 2lb higher. Storm Nelson was pulled up in a typically warm Pertemps Qualifier at Aintree on his seasonal return but must be respected now dropped in class, along with Our Sam, who arrives in search of a four-timer.

BALLYMAGROARTY BOY can boast a course win and looks the way to go on the back of his stylish recent Ffos Las success. Our Sam is enjoying a fine season and rates a big threat however, with Leicester-scorer J'Ai Froid also in the picture.

If heavy ground is a problem for Our Sam, the ones most likely to profit are NICEANDEASY and Ballymagroarty Boy.

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.
