The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

ALEX THE GREAT boasts the most compelling recent form and should have no issues reverting to Tapeta after a win and a third-placed finish on Polytrack at Kempton. Allied to that, the talented Jack Doughty retains the ride and his 3lb claim is a prized asset. Star Of Markinch, who was a respectable third over C&D on her penultimate start, is feared most back over this trip. Man Of Riddles also rates a player.

Given the dearth of in-form candidates on show, ALEX THE GREAT looks the safest option. He scored in good style at Kempton on his penultimate start and lost little caste in defeat when third in a higher-grade handicap at the same course next time, leaving the impression that this stiffer track would be right up his street. Unification and Star of Markinch can fill the places.

With solid options few and far between this looks best left to the in-form ALEX THE GREAT (nap) now he returns to Class 6 company.

It has been a busy all-weather campaign for Darlo Pride since he joined his current yard but he continues to run enthusiastically and, as a previous C&D winner, another bold showing is likely. However, GANESHA wasn't beaten far on his return from wind surgery in a similar event last month and could be tough to beat if building on that. The in-form Frank The Spark and Gustav Graves are other viable options.

A trappy sprint in which the suggestion is DARLO PRIDE, who has been largely consistent since landing a double in December and Michael Dods' 5-y-o can add career victory number 7 to his tally at the expense of Ganesha, who offered something to work on returning from 10 weeks off from a much-reduced mark when third over C&D recently. The returning Keldeo looks best of the rest.

Ganesha can go well but the reliable DARLO PRIDE should give his running and that may be enough in today's field.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

TANTOMILE picked up nicely to win an apprentice handicap at Southwell on Saturday and, given she escapes a penalty, she has a good chance of following up if the retained headgear has the same impact. Fellow last-time-out winner Kats Bob is an obvious danger off just 2lb higher, while Asadjumeirah is hard to get right but cannot be ruled out given he is still attractively weighted.

It's possibly best to focus on last-time-out winners KATS BOB and Tantomile, with the former taken to make it 2-2 since joining Ruth Carr.

Former stablemates Kats Bob and SIBYL CHARM appeal most. The selection shaped as though a win was imminent here last month.

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

Nordic Norm made a pleasing introduction when victorious by a head over track and trip and with the likelihood of more to come, he has to be considered. However, the vote goes to ADVANCING, who beat a well-fancied favourite by over a length on his debut at Kempton last month. James Ferguson's three-year-old might have the edge on that form. Any market confidence behind the 125,000-euro purchase Topteam would be interesting.

Lots of potential on show and the vote goes to Hugo Palmer's son of Ghaiyyath MY KINDA GHAIY who shaped well on his debut when fourth at Southwell and can take a sizeable step forward now. Roger Varian's Frankel newcomer Rahiebb could emerge as the main danger ahead of recent debut scorers Advancing and Nordic Norm.

Advancing won well at Kempton on debut but NORDIC NORM could have his measure this time.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

WEDGEWOOD SAPPHIRE showed a big chunk of improvement when hitting the crossbar at Wolverhampton on her most recent start and the booking of Luke Morris catches the eye. The four-year-old looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to get her head back in front. Laura's Breeze took the silver medal home over 6f here last time and will have no issues with this step back up in trip. Of the remainder, Bernie The Bear makes the most appeal.

MARGOT ROBBIE showed improved form on the back of a lengthy absence when just touched off at Southwell 21 days ago and, easily one of the least exposed, she's selected to come out on top. Laura's Breeze following her recent second over 6f here and Wedgewood Sapphire can emerge as the chief threats.

Laura's Breeze is high on the list but YAAHOBBY can bounce back from last week's low-key 6f run.

URBAN DANDY's best recent performance came at this level when denied by a head over C&D two starts ago, before finding handicap company too much last time. The five-year-old may not find a better opportunity to get his head back in front. Pop Favorite has been knocking on the door recently and enters calculations along with Fifty Sent, who was runner-up at Southwell earlier in the week.

POP FAVORITE has returned to form with runner-up efforts at this C&D on his last 2 starts, meeting trouble in running on his latest outing, so he is taken to go one better as he drops back into a classified event. Fifty Sent was beaten by only a nose at Southwell 3 days ago and could be thereabouts once more, with Martin's Brig also considered.

Martin's Brig did have the run of the race here last week and POP FAVORITE must have a chance of gaining his revenge.

TASEVER remains in fine fettle having performed well on all three appearances in February over C&D, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him gain a third victory of the year. Rebecca's Girl has to enter calculations despite not landing the hat-trick here over a furlong shorter last time. Streak Lightning and Bobby Joe Leg head the remainder.

Providing this isn't run at a crawl, a couple of hold up performers may come to the fore, with KING'S SCHOOL, who is back on his latest winning mark, taken to get the better of last-time out winner Streak Lightning. The consistent Tasever looks best of the rest.

She is up in the weights but REBECCA'S GIRL could enjoy a tactical advantage and is taken to record her fourth course win this winter.

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.
