Time For A Pint opened his account in pleasing fashion at Catterick last month and the seven-year-old may have more to offer. However, an 8lb rise in the ratings will demand more from him and it may be worth taking a chance on PUDDLESINTHEPARK. The combination of an 82-day layoff and less testing conditions could see Evan Williams' charge in a better light, with this drop in class likely to suit too. Ali Star Bert and Felton Bellevue are other viable alternatives.

TIME FOR A PINT has impressed with his jumping since switched to chasing and is unexposed over this distance, so he's well fancied to add to his cosy Catterick success a month ago. Ali Star Bert and Felton Bellevue are both solid alternatives for all that they're much more exposed.

The standout candidate in terms of potential is TIME FOR A PINT, who made the breakthrough in good style over fences at Catterick.

MY GIFT TO YOU has won over fences at Fakenham and over hurdles at this venue in recent months. A 5lb rise for the gelding's latest success looks far from insurmountable and a hat-trick could be in the offing. Last month's Hereford third File Illico finished behind a subsequent winner that day and he's dangerous to discount, while Cloudy Wednesday should prove more competitive on this return to chasing.

MY GIFT TO YOU has done little wrong since joining the James Owen yard and he is taken to make it 3-3 over fences on the back of a thoroughly decisive C&D success 16 days ago. Next on the list is File Illico, who has dropped to a potentially very handy mark and his latest third at Hereford represented a step back in the right direction. The 12-y-o Abaya du Mathan and Cloudy Wednesday are others to consider.

There's a lot to be said for File Illico after his recent return to form but unexposed MY GIFT TO YOU remains on the upgrade.

ACT OF AUTHORITY made light work of a drop in class when securing a second victory over hurdles at Bangor in December. Although Olly Murphy's charge does have to shoulder a double penalty in this event, Dylan Johnston's 7lb claim could prove invaluable. Teorie was too free when only fourth at Musselburgh last month, but he may give the selection most to think about if settling better, with Tommie Gun completing the shortlist.

ACT OF AUTHORITY, an expensive point recruit, has looked a good prospect so far over hurdles and he can take his tally to three in this sphere at the likely expense of Teorie, who should benefit from the return of Paddy Brennan. Tommie Gun is considered, too.

Teorie and Tommie Gun have won in this sphere but ACT OF AUTHORITY has shown something or a higher order and can win again.

MINNIEMUM unseated Richard Patrick at the last at Catterick on her most recent outing and can put the record straight here. The Henry Daly-trained mare was well in command at the time and, given the handicapper still put her up 5lb, she looks to be the most intriguing option. The unexposed Clararose, who goes handicapping for the first time, is feared most, while Ya Know Yaseff is the pick of the rest.

MINNIEMUM had the race at her mercy when unseating her rider at the final flight at Catterick last time and can gain compensation. Handicap-debutante Clararose is very interesting upped markedly in trip given her earlier promise. Tequila Blaze could also figure off her reduced mark.

Shesupincourt has won two of her last four starts but MINNIEMUM is taken to make amends for her last-hurdle unseat at Catterick.

Proven at this sort of level, ZWICKY has progressed this season and, based on his potential for further improvement now that he steps up in trip, the seven-year-old earns the vote. With stamina more proven than some, Diger Daudaie also enters calculations, while Ithaka hasn't enjoyed much luck in recent starts but has faced stiffer tests, so cannot be ruled out. The betting can guide to Myfanwy's Magic, who takes a big step up in trip here.

ZWICKY's latest third in a muddling race at Hexham probably shouldn't be taken to suggest his progress has levelled off and he gets the nod now stepping up to 3m under Harry Cobden. Although Globe Player was a well-held third on his course handicap debut last month he retains potential as a lightly-raced type and is feared most unless the betting speaks for Ithaka.

This could be a weak race and ZWICKY (nap) may well have an excellent chance to register his third win this season.

Narrowly denied over this course and distance 16 days ago, HOBB'S DELIGHT could go one better if he copes with a 4lb rise imposed for that near miss. Fantomas also posted a solid effort when second over C&D when last seen and can go well on his first run since October. Matoury is unexposed as a stayer and completes the shortlist.

Robbie Llewellyn is making a name for himself with new recruits and HERMES LE GRIS appeals as another who might be turned around by a switch to the Wiltshire-based handler. Market support for handicap newcomer Getaway Glory would make him a possible big threat. Recent C&D runner-up Hobb's Delight is also respected in an interesting finale.

The most solid claims belong to HOBB'S DELIGHT who has been first and second in handicaps on his last two starts, the latter over C&D.

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.
