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

Placed on all three three starts since scoring over C&D in December off 8lb lower, MISTER SMARTY has been a model of consistency this season and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. A determined winner at Huntingdon last time out for which he has been raised 3lb, Kingoftheswingerz can have a say, while V Twelve is respected after finishing a decent third at Newcastle last month.

V TWELVE is taken to repeat his 2024 victory in this on the back of an encouraging effort at Newcastle where he finished around 7 lengths adrift of second-placed Mister Smarty but now meets that rival on 4 lb better terms and, moreover, he'll be sharper with that run under his belt (he was returning from a four-month break that day). To his credit, Mister Smarty is proving consistent and should give another good account, while Kingoftheswingerz could also have a part to play.

C&D winner MISTER SMARTY arrives in good form and earns the vote ahead of Kingoftheswingerz, who got off the mark last time.

An impressive winner on his chase debut at Newcastle last month, BOIS GUILLBERT is likely to have plenty more improvement to come and he can follow up off a 7lb higher mark. Geryville was never travelling when well beaten over further at Carlisle last month, but he would have claims if bouncing back to the form of his success over this C&D on his penultimate outing. Micks Jet is another C&D winner who is likely to be suited by dropping back in trip.

BOIS GUILLBERT produced a pretty assured round of jumping on his chase debut at Newcastle and looks capable of defying a 7 lb higher mark. Cases can be made for all four of his rivals, though on recent evidence it's likely that Micks Jet and William Cody will emerge as the main dangers.

Topweight BOIS GUILLBERT created a good impression on his chase debut at Newcastle last month and can make it 2-2 over fences.

A half-sister to useful stablemate You Wear It Well, AUDACIOUS ANNIE may not have shown much in two starts over hurdles, but stepping up in trip looks like a good move for the six-year-old. She won here on her bumper debut in November 2023 and she may have too much for Parisian Fashion, who improved from his first to second start when third over C&D last time out. Ciakat and Realta Liath can also enter calculations.

Bumper winner AUDACIOUS ANNIE stepped up on her hurdling debut form when third at Ayr in late January and, with that form working out well (winner went close in Grade 2 next time), she's fancied to make it third time lucky over hurdles, especially with the step up in trip promising to suit. Forcetoreckonwith landed an Irish point back in October and has to be of interest starting out over hurdles at an ordinary level, with Parisian Fashion and Realta Liath others to consider.

Course bumper winner AUDACIOUS ANNIE was a promising third in a warm maiden hurdle at Ayr in January and earns the vote.

FELICIE DU MAQUIS built on her sixth-placed reappearance at Chepstow in early February when landing the spoils over hurdles at Ludlow later that month. A 4lb higher mark now back over fences could prove to be lenient for the lightly-raced veteran and a brace may be on the cards. Although Grand Albert's jumping was exposed by subsequent Cheltenham Festival hero Myretown when finishing third at Kelso 32 days ago, he's feared most, ahead of Kelce.

Quite a trappy-looking affair. KELCE has a progressive profile and did well under the circumstances when second at Ludlow on his most recent outing, having been badly hampered by loose horse, so he's an appealing candidate. Felicie du Maquis reverts to chasing following a recent win over hurdles and should be capable of better.

The lightly raced 6yo DE TELLERS FORTUNE can regain the winning thread for Nicky Henderson now back on better ground.

The unexposed JUKEBOX FURY gained a breakthrough victory when denying a subsequent scorer at Doncaster last month. A 5lb rise in the rating may still underestimate the six-year-old's ability and this looks a good opportunity for him to double his tally. The biggest threat may emerge from last-time-out runner-up Skiffle Man, who is a potential improver now stepping up further in trip. Wearapinkribbon is also worth a second look at the foot of the weights.

As low-mileage 6-y-os from top yards, JUKEBOX FURY and Skiffle Man are naturally appealing, particularly given that they both arrive here on the back of improved efforts. The latter's handicap debut second over 20.5f at Southwell augurs well with regard to this new trip and he is not passed over lightly, but Jukebox Fury got the better of a next-time-out winner when opening his account upped to a similar trip to this at Doncaster and he is marginally preferred. Aazza makes some each-way appeal.

The step up to 3m can be the catalyst for a first win from the lightly raced 6yo SKIFFLE MAN (nap). Jukebox Fury is feared most.

Ballynoe Boy should have learned plenty from his debut second at Catterick in December, while White Riot displayed plenty of promise on his stable bow when runner-up at that same venue last month. However, THE MAD POET, a half-brother to useful dual-purpose performer Zalvados, possesses plenty of speed in his pedigree and the Dan Skelton-trained debutant could be worth taking a punt on.

The vote goes to BALLYNOE BOY, who showed more than enough on his debut at Catterick to suggest that there are races to be won with him. White Riot also found just one too good at Catterick starting out for this yard last month and he is feared most ahead of likely-looking newcomer The Mad Poet.

This could go to the newcomer THE MAD POET, whose top trainer Dan Skelton does very well in bumpers.

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.

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.

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.
