(1) Ballyporeen 2.25/1, Immediate improvement for new trainer Donald McCain when easily winning a 2½m Musselburgh novice handicap last month. Bold show likely if showing up in similar form.
9
2nd (9) (25/1 +24%) Special Rate
25
25/1(+24%)
(9) Special Rate 25/1, Showed ability in bumpers (trained in Ireland first 2 starts) without achieving enough to suggest he's likely to make a major impact on hurdle debut.
4
3rd (4) (0.83/1 -24%) Jimmy Chou Pecos AA
0.83
0.83/1(-24%)
(4) Jimmy Chou Pecos AA 0.83/1, Promising second in maiden hurdles at Down Royal and Navan this winter. The one to beat for an Irish stable with a 2-4 record here.
10
4th (10) (80/1 -60%) Beauty To Behold
80
80/1(-60%)
(10) Beauty To Behold 80/1, Winning Irish pointer but beaten a long way in 2 hurdles at Catterick (25f then 2m) in February. Has a hood on for the first time now.
5
5th (5) (66/1 +0%) Kopa Kilana
66
66/1(+0%)
(5) Kopa Kilana 66/1, Bumper winner for Rebecca Menzies but beaten a long way over hurdles on next 2 starts and only modest form on the Flat since. Has a first-time tongue tie added now starting out for a new stable after 140 days off.
2
6th (2) (3.33/1 +17%) Chase A Fortune
3.33
3.33/1(+17%)
(2) Chase A Fortune 3.33/1, Consistent sort who made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Catterick (2m, good) in February. Found life tougher under a penalty when 19 lengths second at Sedgefield since. Good place chance but probably vulnerable for the win again.
13
7th (13) (66/1 -65%) Monty Nevett
66
66/1(-65%)
(13) Monty Nevett 66/1, Modest form at best in bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles.
12
8th (12) (80/1 -60%) Not In Kansas
80
80/1(-60%)
(12) Not In Kansas 80/1, Seemed to be in the process of showing improved form when falling 4 out in maiden hurdle at Ayr (19.5f) 7 weeks ago, but quite what she'd have done off the bridle is open to debate given she'd again been keen.
6
9th (6) (22/1 +12%) Lucky Soldier
22
22/1(+12%)
(6) Lucky Soldier 22/1, Promising second on Ayr bumper debut in October but below that level in 2 outings at the same venue since. Still early days and makes hurdle debut now.
3
10th (3) (250/1 -25%) Diamant Sur Canape
250
250/1(-25%)
(3) Diamant Sur Canape 250/1, Well held in bumper and little to shout about in 4 starts in this sphere. First run for new yard after leaving Mark Walford. Wears a hood for the first time.
8
11th (8) (100/1 -203%) Monklaw
100
100/1(-203%)
(8) Monklaw 100/1, Fell both starts in points. 50/1 did travel well for a long way on his Hexham hurdle debut but folded tamely to finish 10th of 13.
14
12th (14) (150/1 +25%) Flash Bulb
150
150/1(+25%)
(14) Flash Bulb 150/1, Fair maiden on Flat but tailed off on Ayr hurdle debut in February. Has had wind surgery since then.
7
13th (7) (250/1 -25%) Midnight Fiddler
250
250/1(-25%)
(7) Midnight Fiddler 250/1, No show in novice hurdles 11 months apart. Outsider.
11
|PU| (11) (200/1 -100%) Glen Ali
200
200/1(-100%)
(11) Glen Ali 200/1, Pulled up both starts between the flags and no show in maiden/novice hurdles this year, refusing to race on last month's stable debut when fitted with blinkers (left off now).
LTO Selection:
13:40 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fresh from success at Aintree last week, trainer John McConnell can saddle JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA to get off the mark at the fourth attempt under Rules. The seven-year-old was runner-up to a subsequent winner at Navan last time out and the drop in trip can see him in a better light. An impressive winner on his first run for these connections at Musselburgh, Ballyporeen is a key player, as is the consistent Chase A Fortune.
JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA has shaped well when runner-up in a couple of maiden hurdles in Ireland and is taken to make the most of the weight he receives from Musselburgh winner Ballyporeen. Chase A Fortune is clear third pick in a race where it's hard to make a case for many.
Irish raider JIMMY CHOU PECOS AA chased home a subsequent series final winner when second at Navan last month and gets the nod.
(6) Hashtag Boum 8.5/1, Irish point winner who has made the frame in 3 of her 4 starts under Rules, latest when second in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap 25 days ago. Not ruled out off the same mark.
10
2nd (10) (10/1 +17%) Warriors Story
10
10/1(+17%)
(10) Warriors Story 10/1, Running well this season without winning until pulled up in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) 106 days ago. Can bounce back after a break.
2
3rd (2) (5/1 +50%) Deluxe Range
5
5/1(+50%)
(2) Deluxe Range 5/1, C&D winner. Had wind op before good third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can make presence felt again.
4
4th (4) (5/1 +23%) Les's Legacy
5
5/1(+23%)
(4) Les's Legacy 5/1, Progressed again to land 12-runner handicap hurdle here (20.9f, soft) 23 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 4 lb rise.
12
5th (12) (6/1 +20%) Topkapi Star
6
6/1(+20%)
(12) Topkapi Star 6/1, Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (25f, soft) 22 days ago. Up 4 lb but another bold showing is on the cards.
9
6th (9) (7.5/1 +0%) Lissen To The Lady
7.5
7.5/1(+0%)
(9) Lissen To The Lady 7.5/1, 3-time C&D winner, including in this event 12 months ago. Also posted a career best when winning 5-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) 18 days ago so she's a big player.
8
7th (8) (33/1 -50%) Follow Your Arrow
33
33/1(-50%)
(8) Follow Your Arrow 33/1, In good form until pulled up in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, good) 73 days ago. Needs to get back on track reverted to hurdles.
3
8th (3) (16/1 -14%) The Navigator
16
16/1(-14%)
(3) The Navigator 16/1, Course winner. 28/1, only seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (18f, heavy) 6 days ago. Needs to bounce back returned to this sphere.
11
9th (11) (4.5/1 +25%) Coniston Clouds
4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(11) Coniston Clouds 4.5/1, 11/1, much improved on his handicap debut when landing 8-runner hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) 29 days ago. Sort to do better still as his stamina is drawn out more. Firmly in the picture.
1
10th (1) (14/1 -133%) You Name Him
14
14/1(-133%)
(1) You Name Him 14/1, In fine form when last seen 6 months ago, posting a career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, good). Can give another good account if fully tuned up.
7
11th (7) (20/1 -43%) Nikgarde
20
20/1(-43%)
(7) Nikgarde 20/1, Course winner who was running well in third when unseated rider last in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Shortlisted.
5
|PU| (5) (28/1 -75%) On We Go
28
28/1(-75%)
(5) On We Go 28/1, Three-time winner this season, latest at Ayr in February, but pulled up in the mud at Uttoxeter 16 days ago. Sort to bounce back under these less testing conditions.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A determined winner here last time out, the consistent LES'S LEGACY is taken to follow up off a 4lb higher mark, with the step up in trip expected to suit. You Name Him has not been in action since September but was a cosy winner at Perth on that occasion, while Lissen To The Lady has been in excellent form of late at Hexham. Others to note include Coniston Clouds, Hashtag Boum and Topkapi Star.
LISSEN TO THE LADY took this contest 12 months ago and arrives at the top of her game so Sandy Forster's likeable mare is taken to emerge on top once more. Coniston Clouds is also on the up and feared most with this longer trip another positive, while the handily-weighted Topkapi Star and C&D scorer Deluxe Range are much respected too in a very competitive handicap.
Ruth Jefferson's HASHTAG BOUM would probably have made a successful handicap debut had that Sedgefield race been over this far.
(12) Azof Des Mottes 5.5/1, Modest hurdler who has shown an aptitude for chasing in a couple of recent outings, latest when good fifth of 13 in handicap at Carlisle (20.9f, good) 9 days ago. May be capable of better yet.
10
2nd (10) (6/1 +50%) The Jad Factor
6
6/1(+50%)
(10) The Jad Factor 6/1, Fair 20f winner over hurdles who hinted at promise on his chasing debut when third in Ayr handicap (20.5f) in February. May have failed to stay 3m at Hexham since but percentage call is to look elsewhere.
1
3rd (1) (3/1 +25%) Where's Hector
3
3/1(+25%)
(1) Where's Hector 3/1, Consistent over hurdles last season and posted best effort in this sphere when narrow second of 7 in handicap at Wetherby (24.2f, soft, 9/2) 17 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and is a big player.
6
4th (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Fever Roque
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(6) Fever Roque 4.5/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles last term and placed on all 5 completed starts in this sphere, latest when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, soft) 22 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again.
11
5th (11) (11/1 -69%) Thunder In Milan
11
11/1(-69%)
(11) Thunder In Milan 11/1, Fair maiden hurdler who matched that form for the first time over fences when landing 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) last month. 4 lb rise fair but this looks tougher.
3
6th (3) (18/1 -13%) Thatsy
18
18/1(-13%)
(3) Thatsy 18/1, Yet to score over fences and hasn't really threatened in a trio of starts this term.
5
7th (5) (20/1 -100%) Broadway Joe
20
20/1(-100%)
(5) Broadway Joe 20/1, Immediate improvement switched to fences last term, winning his first 3 starts. Good start to this season when third off 5 lb higher over C&D but rather gone backwards since and has plenty to prove at present.
7
8th (7) (33/1 -32%) Dolly Dancer
33
33/1(-32%)
(7) Dolly Dancer 33/1, Won over fences at Hexham in June but has lost her way since, including back over hurdles the last twice. Hard to recommend back over the larger obstacles.
9
9th (9) (40/1 -21%) Contre Ordre
40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Contre Ordre 40/1, Fairly useful chaser in France but yet to fire on these shores. Latest run can be forgiven (saddle slipped) but plenty to prove nonetheless.
2
10th (2) (22/1 -57%) Don't Tell Allen
22
22/1(-57%)
(2) Don't Tell Allen 22/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland but yet to make a serious impact over fences, fourth in 9-runner Catterick handicap (19.2f) on yard debut in February. Looked unsuited by the drop in trip then and this rates more suitable from reduced mark.
13
11th (13) (14/1 +36%) To The Limit
14
14/1(+36%)
(13) To The Limit 14/1, Both career victories have come at this course, latest when bagging 4-runner handicap chase (23.4f) in January. However, may be inconvenienced by shorter trip here and was reportedly lame at Newcastle latest. 3 lb out of the weights.
4
12th (4) (16/1 +0%) Get With It
16
16/1(+0%)
(4) Get With It 16/1, Won twice earlier this term, latest here (23.4f) in October. Back from 3 months off when sixth at Doncaster (24f, good to soft) 31 days ago and should be straighter now.
8
13th (8) (10/1 -43%) En Meme Temps
10
10/1(-43%)
(8) En Meme Temps 10/1, Ended lengthy losing run when just prevailing in 7-runner handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 18 days ago. This looks more competitive but he's only been raised 2 lb for that success.
14
14th (14) (66/1 -32%) Any Job Will Do
66
66/1(-32%)
(14) Any Job Will Do 66/1, Limited impact as a hurdler and offered little on switch to chasing at Musselburgh in February of last year. Best watched on first start since from 3 lb out of the handicap.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Narrowly denied at Wetherby last time out and placed on all three starts in this sphere, top-weight WHERE'S HECTOR deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion with conditions very much in his favour. Thunder In Milan bounced back to form with a gutsy success at Musselburgh and he is likely to be thereabouts, along with Hexham winner En Meme Temps and Fever Roque.
WHERE'S HECTOR was just chinned at Wetherby last time and it's possible he has more to offer in this sphere. He gets the nod. Azof des Mottes and Fever Roque head the list of dangers.
Preference is for FEVER ROQUE (nap), who was second on good ground two starts ago and has since performed well again in a series final.
(4) Saint Arvans 12/1, Likeable type who has taken well to chasing this season, winning 3 times. Pulled up at Carlisle on return last time (rider lost irons briefly early) but every chance he gets back on track and can't be ruled out.
6
2nd (6) (1/1 +50%) Domandlouis
1
1/1(+50%)
(6) Domandlouis 1/1, Winner over hurdles and got back on track over fences when second at Musselburgh 47 days ago. Less exposed than the remainder and makes plenty of appeal.
3
3rd (3) (2.75/1 -46%) Marown
2.75
2.75/1(-46%)
(3) Marown 2.75/1, Runner-up on his Ayr reappearance in October and best effort since when filling the same position at Carlisle last month. Return to this trip will suit and he's very much one to consider.
1
4th (1) (3.5/1 -5%) Bavington Bob
3.5
3.5/1(-5%)
(1) Bavington Bob 3.5/1, Four-time winner last season, including in this race. In-and-out form this term but latest effort at this course was respectable. Not ruled out.
2
5th (2) (18/1 -125%) Slanelough
18
18/1(-125%)
(2) Slanelough 18/1, Returned to form when springing a minor surprise to land 6-runner event at Newcastle in November. Disappointing there next time but has had a break since.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MAROWN returned to form when denied by a neck over 2m4f at Carlisle last month and Nicky Richards' charge looks to have been found a good opportunity now faced with a stiffer test. Bavington Bob hasn't been in the greatest of form of late, but he's now down to the same mark as his win in this race last year and shouldn't be underestimated. Domandlouis is 1lb out of the handicap on this rise in class, but the six-year-old arrives with less questions to answer than most.
DOMANDLOUIS hasn't had much racing over fences and arrives on the back of an encouraging showing, so he's marginally preferred to Marown, who shaped like a return to this trip would suit when second at Carlisle last time. Last year's winner Bavington Bob is also considered.
This might be best left to DOMANDLOUIS, who runs this track well and chased home an improver at Musselburgh last month.
(4) Atlantic Dancer 4.5/1, Added to Ayr breakthrough success last spring when striking at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on penultimate start. Lost little caste in defeat off this 5 lb higher mark over the same C&D recently and she should have a part to play.
3
2nd (3) (3/1 +50%) Rae Des Champs
3
3/1(+50%)
(3) Rae Des Champs 3/1, Progressive last term, winning 2m handicap at Musselburgh in March and signed that campaign off with a good second over the same trip here. Not at her best in 2 starts so far this season but will be a danger to all if on-song back from a break.
1
3rd (1) (9/1 +0%) Ravenscar
9
9/1(+0%)
(1) Ravenscar 9/1, Fairly useful Flat performer and gained victory number 3 over hurdles at Doncaster last month, helped by being held up in a strongly-run race. Wasn't in the same form at Musselburgh (19.8f) next time, though, and looks vulnerable under top-weight.
2
4th (2) (3.33/1 +5%) Animore
3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(2) Animore 3.33/1, Capitalised on the drop to a career-low mark when easily accounting for 6 rivals in a fast-ground 21.4f Ayr handicap last time. 7 lb rise looks manageable, the forecast slower ground won't be a problem and she went close on her latest visit here over C&D in September.
9
5th (9) (20/1 -82%) Melchoir
20
20/1(-82%)
(9) Melchoir 20/1, Has shown little spark in a couple of bumpers and 4 starts over hurdles, pulled up when sent off at just 4/1 for her recent handicap debut upped to 20.3f at Newcastle. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Atlantic Dancer.
5
6th (5) (7.5/1 +53%) Bella Bluesky
7.5
7.5/1(+53%)
(5) Bella Bluesky 7.5/1, Opened hurdles account in a 2m novice here last February and positive start to this season when third at Newcastle in January. However, she has failed to fire in 2 subsequent starts and now finds herself with a bit to prove.
8
7th (8) (11/1 -120%) Lady Hamilton
11
11/1(-120%)
(8) Lady Hamilton 11/1, Little in the way of worthwhile form on the Flat and first 2 runs in this sphere were hardly inspiring. However, she took a step forward when third of 13 in a 16.6f Doncaster maiden hurdle last time and possibilities if able to build on that now pitched into a handicap.
6
8th (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Noble Affair
6.5
6.5/1(-18%)
(6) Noble Affair 6.5/1, Signs of ability in novice company and left previous efforts in handicap company behind when just touched off at Carlisle (17f) last time. More needed in order to go one better here but she's worthy of consideration all the same.
7
|U| (7) (66/1 -230%) Silver Vision
66
66/1(-230%)
(7) Silver Vision 66/1, Belied odds of 66/1 when taking a 5-runner maiden hurdle at Musselburgh in November but showed nothing with the hood omitted (again goes without the headgear here) on her handicap debut there following a 4-month break.
LTO Selection:
15:55 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Animore justified strong support in the market when romping home by 12 lengths at Ayr last month and she isn't taken lightly now 8lb higher in the ratings. Preference, however, is for ATLANTIC DANCER, who found only a rejuvenated stable switcher too good at Uttoxeter and Nick Alexander's mare may prove difficult to beat racing off the same mark. Noble Affair and Rae Des Champs make most appeal of the remainder.
ANIMORE resumed winning ways in good style at Ayr and, still feasibly treated following a 7 lb rise, she will take plenty of stopping. Next on the list is Atlantic Dancer, who arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts at Uttoxeter, while Rae des Champs will be a threat if she puts her best foot forward and Noble Affair also needs a second look.
Low-mileage 6yo RAE DES CHAMPS is interesting if judged on her second to a smart mare of Nicky Henderson's here just over a year ago.
(1) Ballydonagh Boy 1.88/1, Modest hurdler/chaser who ended time for Pauline Robson in disappointing fashion in 2021. Has had plenty more success in points, runner-up last 3 starts.
5
2nd (5) (2.25/1 +36%) Torngat
2.25
2.25/1(+36%)
(5) Torngat 2.25/1, Failed to make much of an impact sent handicapping over hurdles in 2022 and fitted with cheekpieces, he failed to meet market expectations on chase debut a year ago. Warmed up for this with a couple of wins between the flags.
2
3rd (2) (4/1 +11%) Baron Briggs
4
4/1(+11%)
(2) Baron Briggs 4/1, Minor promise in 4 starts over hurdles for Sandy Thomson. Bred for chasing and third on point debut last month.
3
4th (3) (20/1 +0%) Beyond Gold
20
20/1(+0%)
(3) Beyond Gold 20/1, Made a winning point debut and was still in front when coming down 3 out switched to Rules in this race 4 years ago. Limited impact in various company since, beaten a long way when third in last year's renewal.
4
|PU| (4) (4.5/1 -80%) Inviction
4.5
4.5/1(-80%)
(4) Inviction 4.5/1, Fair hurdler for Joseph O'Brien, though was prone to the odd mistake. Winning pointer and though he fell last time, this isn't a deep race for hunter debut.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Kelso Hunter Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Torngat arrives in winning form after scoring in his last two point-to-points and he could be a force to reckon with, but his form under Rules suggests he has to find more to hold off INVICTION. Ross Wilson's representative is rated the best horse here by the handicapper and was going well enough before falling in the race won by his rival at Overton. If he completes, he has every chance. Ballydonagh Boy and Baron Briggs are others to take seriously in a wide-open contest.
INVICTION isn't overfaced for his debut in this sphere and the winning pointer gets the vote over Ballydonagh Boy.
Five-time point winner BALLYDONAGH BOY has the strongest form and he's very consistent to boot.
(3) Hierachy 3.5/1, Half-sister to fair hurdler Cancan and off the mark at third attempt when narrowly prevailing at Ayr (2m) in February. Early indications suggest that that form is decent and she sets the standard here.
2
2nd (2) (6.5/1 +19%) Heart Above
6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(2) Heart Above 6.5/1, Encouraging enough start to his career when third at Ayr in October, and each-way chance here if able to build on that.
1
3rd (1) (33/1 -32%) Edgewell
33
33/1(-32%)
(1) Edgewell 33/1, Well Chosen gelding who made some paper appeal but finished well held in an Ayr bumper on debut. Will need to leave that effort well behind to feature.
5
4th (5) (6.5/1 +54%) Marty Mcfly
6.5
6.5/1(+54%)
(5) Marty Mcfly 6.5/1, Dead-heated on the second of his 2 starts in Irish maiden points last year. Absence of just under a year to overcome on this Rules debut but warrants a second look in the betting.
11
5th (11) (28/1 +15%) Milan Park
28
28/1(+15%)
(11) Milan Park 28/1, £30,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Half-brother to fair 2½m hurdle winner Martalindy. Yard boasts a poor strike rate in bumpers and this 4-y-o is probably more of a long-term prospect.
7
6th (7) (1.88/1 -15%) Speed Davis
1.88
1.88/1(-15%)
(7) Speed Davis 1.88/1, £105,000 5-y-o, half-brother to 5 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Violin Davis (2½m-3m winner). Successful sole start between the flags in December and very much one to consider, particularly so if the market speaks in his favour.
10
7th (10) (12/1 +70%) Flying Sandpiper
12
12/1(+70%)
(10) Flying Sandpiper 12/1, £21,000 3-y-o, Sandmason gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Exmoor Express, stays 2½m. Probably best watched on debut, unless the market indicates otherwise.
6
8th (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Master Bricklayer
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(6) Master Bricklayer 4.5/1, Half-brother to bumper winner Coole Og. Intriguing newcomer and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting, particularly in relation to stablemate Hierachy.
8
9th (8) (100/1 -150%) Air Of Approval
100
100/1(-150%)
(8) Air Of Approval 100/1, Achieved little first time up when mid-field in a Newcastle bumper (16.2f, heavy) last month and she makes limited appeal on the back of that.
4
10th (4) (100/1 +0%) Looking Splendid
100
100/1(+0%)
(4) Looking Splendid 100/1, Hasn't shown enough in bumpers at Newcastle and most recently over this C&D to suggest that he's capable of playing a leading role.

Speed Davis set connections back a pretty penny after winning between the flags, though he had some luck that day when left in the lead at the last. He is one to watch on his debut under Rules, as is fellow point-to-point winner Marty Mcfly, who looks more stamina than speed. Hierachy dug deep to score at Ayr, but the nod goes to HEART ABOVE. Although third on his introduction, he hit the front two furlongs out before weakening late on and may do considerably better now.
SPEED DAVIS fetched £105,000 after landing a maiden point in December and he is certainly one of the more interesting candidates in this contest. The hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Hierachy is greatly respected and is likely to be on the premises. However, stablemate Master Bricklayer ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and he is second choice.
Donald McCain's well-bred new recruit SPEED DAVIS changed hands for big money after winning his Irish point and gets the vote.
(5) Lune De La Mer 7/1, Placed on the third of his 3 starts between the flags last year and, after 10 months off, some encouragement when third on Rules debut at this C&D in February. Can get involved with improvement to come.

(8) Carrigeen Kali 7.5/1, Ran to similar level as previous outing when fourth at Carlisle last month, despite being unsuited by the run of the race. Can build on that effort to get off the mark.

125/1(-25%)
(6) Mister Smarty 125/1, Sent off at big odds (200/1) but hinted at ability when eighth of 11 in bumper at Wetherby on his debut 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Still, looks to have a tough ask here.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LISNAMULT LAD was an impressive winner of his sole point-to-point in Ireland in October and he could provide yet another winner for trainer John McConnell on these shores now starting out in a bumper. Carrigeen Kali has posted two solid efforts in this sphere since returning from a 101-day break in February and is feared most, ahead of Lune De La Mer, who should have learned plenty from his Rules debut when third here.
CARRIGEEN KALI has made the frame on her last 2 starts, faring best of those held up when fourth at Carlisle last time, so she could be ready to open her account this time around. Lune de La Mer showed encouragement amidst greenness at this C&D on his Rules debut and is feared most, ahead of point-winner Lisnamult Lad.
The 6yo LISNAMULT LAD looks an interesting recruit from Irish points for his very progressive yard.

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.
