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

James Owen's Flat recruits continue to make a significant impact in this discipline, and LIAM SWAGGER, now two from two over hurdles following last month's Listed Wetherby triumph, has been no different. The son of Iffraaj is fancied to give weight and a beating to Miss Altea Blue, who was far from disgraced on her UK debut, although more will be needed if she's to lay a glove on the selection. Alan King often does well with his juvenile hurdlers and Believitanducan requires a market check.

LIAM SWAGGER has looked a good prospect since having his attentions switched to hurdling and can go 3-3 and continue the fine form of James Owen. Paul Nicholls' French recruit Miss Altea Blue has some fairly useful form to her name and rates the chief threat, although the selection's stablemate Kinetic also commands plenty of respect on her hurdling bow.

He gives 10lb or 17lb all round but LIAM SWAGGER has shown easily the most in this sphere with his two wins.

ROYSSE looked the most likely winner approaching two from home on his seasonal/hurdles debut, but he blew up a little near the finish and could only manage second. That performance was promising, though, and he can go one place better today with that outing under his belt. El Rayo finished a creditable third at Huntingdon last month and any improvement would bring him firmly into this, while Mistress Emma, who hasn't been seen since winning a Worcester bumper in June 2022, would be of interest should the market spoke in her favour.

ROYSSE went like he was as superior as the market suggested on his C&D hurdles bow only to give it away, possibly just blowing up on his first run in 10 months, and this looks a good opportunity for him to make amends. The potential fly in the ointment is Mistress Emma, who looked a decent prospect when winning a bumper in the summer of '22 but has been absent since.

El Rayo looks promising and is not passed over lightly but ROYSSE looks to have the edge judged on his two runs at Newbury.

Kintail has race-fitness on his side but he will need to improve having made a low-key chasing debut at Warwick last month, and preference is for HERAKLES WESTWOOD. The seven-year-old wasn't always foot perfect on his debut over fences at Taunton recently but he was still able to fill the runner-up spot, and that previous experience can be the difference today. Wrappedupinmay is another to consider.

Lots of potential on show here, not least from Paul Nicholls' WRAPPEDUPINMAY and he is taken to go in at the first time of asking from fellow chasing newcomer Mt Fugi Park who also rates an interesting prospect. Kintail could emerge as the pick of those with experience over fences and can also have a say in this intriguing contest.

Tricky. HERAKLES WESTWOOD and Kintail have the benefit of recent creditable runs over fences and are narrowly preferred.

Point-to-point winner BUCKNA caught the eye with a zestful second-placed finish on his Rules/hurdles debut over 2m at Ffos Las 28 days ago. Sure to be wiser and with the step up in a trip a source for improvement, the Warren Greatrex-trained four-year-old, who set connections back 350,000 pounds, looks a very bright prospect. Nativehill, another expensive recruit from the points scene, is another must for consideration starting out for a high profile yard. De Kingpin is also feared given his hurdles experience.

It will be an ominous sign for his rivals if NATIVEHILL is strong in the betting ahead of this Rules debut. The 6-y-o was last seen winning a maiden point in April 2023 but he's unlikely to be found wanting fitness-wise and is certainly bred for the job. Fellow point winner Buckna made a positive start in this sphere at Ffos Las and, with the promise of better to come now upped in trip, he looks a big threat. Captain Bellamy is also open to improvement and merits respect, too.

Buckna will surely be winning soon but the long-absent rules debutant NATIVEHILL has to be interesting for his notable connections.

GENERAL MEDRANO made light work of what appeared to be a competitive event over this course and distance last month and, given that was just his second start after wind surgery, it is fair to assume the Emma Lavelle-trained gelding can launch a bold attempt to defy a 10lb higher mark today. Javert Allen made a winning debut over fences at Chepstow and is another must for consideration of just 5lb higher. Primoz is forwarded as the pick of the remainder.

JAVERT ALLEN looked a natural over fences on his first run for the best part of a year at Chepstow and, with the promise of better to come from this lightly-raced 5-y-o, he is taken to make it 2-2 in this sphere. General Medrano won as he liked over C&D recently and a 10 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold show from Emma Lavelle's representative. Bourbali is also likely to be on the premises.

Topweight GENERAL MEDRANO (nap) produced an excellent performance in a C&D handicap last month and is taken to overcome a 10lb rise.

Densworth showed the benefit of his fifth-placed chase/seasonal bow at Aintree in October when scoring with ease at Wetherby the following month. The seven-year-old had a subsequent winner behind in third that day and he warrants respect, but Ben Pauling's inmate is effectively racing off a 19lb higher without Callum Pritchard's claim and BEAU BALKO is preferred. The son of Balko arrives on the back of a solid second at this venue and compensation may beckon off an unchanged mark. Saint Segal is also worth a second look for a yard in fine fettle.

It's likely that there is better to come from DENSWORTH over fences following his clear-cut Wetherby success and a 9 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Beau Balko bumped into an improved model in General Medrano (runs in the 2.25 on this card) over this C&D last time and he is feared most ahead of The Edgar Wallace.

Densworth won so well last timer. His longer-term record prompts some caution, however, and BEAU BALKO looks a solid alternative.

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

Although unable to justify favouritism when runner-up on her racecourse debut at Stratford in October, Ride Like A Girl rates as the one to beat out of those with race experience. With that being said, there are some intriguing newcomers on show that could prove stronger in the shape of Yeld To Call, a half-sister to bumper winner Blue Carpet, and ARFURSGAL, with preference for the latter. Anthony Honeyball boasts a respectable strike-rate with his bumper runners at this venue over the past five years and sustained market support for his filly would increase confidence.

If the market speaks in her favour ARFURSGAL will be of strong interest for last year's winning yard with Sam Twiston-Davies booked. She shades preference ahead of Ride Like A Girl, who made a positive start to her career when runner-up at Stratford. Yeld To Call is third choice ahead of Chatty Girl.

Top of the list is YELD TO CALL for the in-form Jane Williams, who saddled a newcomer to win a junior bumper at Bangor last week.

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.
