The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Although ROCHEVAL finished a well-beaten fourth on his seasonal bow in a Grade 2 at Haydock in November, a handicap mark of 118 could prove lenient. The Kapgarde gelding boasts plenty of stamina in his pedigree and this step up in distance could be the making of him. Champ Royal returned to form with a solid third at Catterick a fortnight ago and the nine-year-old is feared most, ahead of recent Wetherby winner Paddy O'Mahler.

With the yard in better form than they have been for most of the winter, it could pay to side with course winner FOSTER'SISLAND, who has shown glimpses of his old ability this campaign and should benefit from this drop in grade. Both Barrels would be a big danger if in the same form as when winning over C&D last season, while Stay If U Want To would appreciate it if this becomes a test of stamina.

Back down sharply in class, handicap debutant ROCHEVAL could well resume his improvement. Second choice is Stay If U Want To.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Penalised winner We're Red And Blue bled from the nose when pulled up on his handicap bow at Ascot in December and he's likely to be in the thick of the action if performing to his best ability. However, it could be worth taking a chance on MAITRE EN SCIENCE leaving behind his fourth-placed British debut in a Listed hurdle at Musselburgh 13 days ago, with a first-time tongue-tie an interesting addition. Burning It Up may fare best of the remainder.

Both market principals arrive with something to prove, but WE'RE RED AND BLUE can bounce back under the same positive tactics that were employed when he was successful at Carlisle on his penultimate run. Maitre En Science is the standout danger and could be much better than he showed on stable debut. Burning It Up can collect some minor prize money on his way to contesting handicaps.

The pick on British achievements is WE'RE RED AND BLUE but Maitre En Science holds a similar chance if back to his French form.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

WISE EAGLE supplemented a double over timber when finishing a good second off a rating of 102 on the Flat at Newcastle last month. Adam Nicol's charge looks nicely treated on his handicap bow over hurdles and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. A wind procedure worked the oracle for recent Musselburgh winner Bashful, although an 11lb hike in the ratings seems harsh. With that in mind, a bigger danger could be fellow last-time-out winner Ginger Mail.

A smart stayer on the Flat, it would be disappointing if WISE EAGLE did not prove to be better than his current mark over hurdles. He's taken to make a successful handicap debut in this sphere, ahead of C&D winner Coniston George who will be hoping for a sound gallop at this trip. Consistent first season hurdler Maghlaak can run creditably once again.

On Flat form WISE EAGLE (nap) holds an outstanding chance off a mark of 123. Givemefive is second pick.

15:20 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 2) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

All four of the declared runners look to have some sort of chance, with narrow preference for EL ELEFANTE. A slick-jumping mare who likes to get on with things, she looked to produce a career-best performance when winning over an extended 2m4f at Ayr latest and could prove difficult to peg back if given an easy time of it out in front. Recent Haydock scorer Prairie Wolf has done well here in the past (won and placed in two visits) and looks an obvious danger, while Ned Tanner and the class-dropping Imagine certainly aren't out of it either.

PRAIRIE WOLF was back to his best when successful at Haydock under this rider last month and appeals as the most solid option. El Elefante may get an uncontested lead here and rates the main threat having resumed progress/winning ways at Ayr last month.

Back down in distance/class, IMAGINE is taken to defy top weight. El Elefante, who may again dictate the pace, is feared most.

GRAND ALBERT has a consistent profile and looks to have improved for switching to fences this season, building on his third-placed effort behind Caldwell Potter at Carlisle when slamming the opposition, including 25-length second Dare To Shout, at Wetherby. The seven-year-old remains open to greater improvement and is fancied to confirm his superiority over the latter, despite meeting on 10lb worse terms. Myretown still held a narrow lead when falling three out at Windsor and the likely pacesetter cannot be ruled out here, nor can the lightly-weighted Gaillimh A Stor.

MYRETOWN was still going well when falling at a tricky fence at Windsor 4 weeks ago so remains a chaser to keep on the right side of. Grand Albert is another who has taken very well to this sphere and is the obvious threat after his wide-margin success at Wetherby.

The safest jumpers are GRAND ALBERT and Dare To Shout, who finished first and second in a similar event at Wetherby seven weeks ago.

PAY THE PIPER was far from disgraced in third in a stronger contest at Wetherby in December and goes off an unchanged mark. With two previous C&D victories in the book, the veteran is likely to prove very tough to beat. Primoz struck at this level at Wetherby in October and finished a fair third at Ayr last month, so he has to be respected. Escapeandevade sports first-time blinkers and will need to bounce back after his sixth at Haydock.

Things haven't gone to plan for PRIMOZ since his promising chase debut win at Wetherby but his latest third at Ayr was at least a step back in the right direction and he has more potential than his 2 seasoned rivals. The reliable Pay The Piper is the solid alternative with last year' winner Escapeandevade arriving with a bit to prove.

Off a workable mark in new headgear, last year's winner ESCAPEANDEVADE is preferred.

KOOL RAOUL stayed on to finish second on his debut at Musselburgh in November and is likely to have plenty of improvement in him. This looks like a winnable assignment and even a repeat of that display might be good enough to get off the mark. Miss Friday Lions finished a respectable fourth at Newcastle last month and with normal progression, she could have a say. Any market support for newcomer Japetus would be interesting.

This could go to a debutant, with preference for JAPETUS whose yard has been going well in bumpers, including with a couple of winners first time up. Irish point runner-up Imperfectlyperfect also represents a trainer who enjoys success in this sphere, with Kool Raoul the pick of those with previous bumper experience.

Preference is for KIWI RUSH who switches to an easier-looking level and is likely to improve on his Sandown effort.

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.
