Placed in 10 of his last 11 starts, MUMAYAZ scores very highly for reliability and is presented with a good opportunity to finally gain a first success since joining the Tony Carroll yard. Competing off his last winning mark from his time in Ireland, the five-year-old is also versatile regarding the trip and has too much in his favour to ignore on these terms. Finn Russell is feared most, although Triggered is not one to dismiss lightly.

FINN RUSSELL did too much too soon at Newcastle last time and can show he's still on a good mark and ensure that Mumayaz has to settle for the runner-up berth yet again. Cervetto is one to keep an eye on in the betting now moving into his first handicap.

The very lightly 4yo CERVETTO could be on a handy mark for this handicap debut, especially now back up in trip, and he earns the vote.

SPRINGTIME PROMISE made a winning return to racing under Rules on her debut for Fergal O'Brien at Huntingdon a couple of weeks ago and she is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Getaway Theatre struggled in Listed company last time but should not be underestimated at this level, while Condesa and Southern Babylon are others to consider.

A few with chances in this opening mares' novice. SPRINGTIME PROMISE has the potential to build on her recent winning debut for the Fergal O'Brien yard and gets the nod. Micks Jet's bumper ability suggests she could step up on the form of her opening hurdle run at Wetherby on Boxing Day and she's second choice ahead of Getaway Theatre.

The Fergal O'Brien-trained SPRINGTIME PROMISE is taken to make it 2-2 for the yard having won at Huntingdon recently.

Southoftheborder was sent off favourite for a Grade 2 event here when he fell with two to jump, but he was weakening at the time and it looked unlikely that he would have won. However, this is a lot easier, so he could have a say but still play second fiddle to ROCK HOUSE, who sets the standard with a rating of 126 and can be forgiven for his underwhelming first handicap start at Kempton last month. Dan Skelton's six-year-old could bounce back from that display and put these to the sword. Ballybentragh is another to watch out for.

SOUTHOFTHEBORDER looked in a spot of bother when unseating his rider 2 out in a Grade 2 here last month, but he's clearly held in high regard and can resume winning ways now returned to calmer waters. Ballybentragh makes plenty of appeal on paper and is the pick of Gary Moore's trio before market clues. Rock House could easily bounce back and is respected.

All Authorized commands respect but, now downgraded from a Grade 2 here, SOUTHOFTHEBORDER looks the one to be with.

Alfred made good strides last year and has impressed in winning two of his three starts since joining George Boughey's stable. However, he has paid the penalty and now looks vulnerable off 8lb higher than his last winning mark. With that in mind, it might pay to side with the hat-trick seeking QUEEN OF ATLANTIS, who still has room to move off her current rating and may find more improvement now stepped up in trip. Handicap debutant Lavender Hill Mob completes the shortlist.

There could be more to come from QUEEN OF ATLANTIS now stepping up to 1¼m so she's taken to complete the hat-trick. Course novice winner Lavender Hill Mob is another who might benefit from the extra yardage and is feared most.

The well-bred LAVENDER HILL MOB (nap) got off the mark in a 1m novice here three weeks ago and could have plenty more to offer.

SILVER VISION took a huge step forward when winning by 16 lengths over 2m at Kelso 12 days ago and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect under just a 7lb penalty. Lady Berlais is another last-time-out winner and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Coup De Gold and Hide Out should not be discounted.

SILVER VISION took full advantage of a tumbling mark when a wide-margin Kelso scorer last time and a 7 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent Stuart Coltherd's rejuvenated mare from following up. Dan Skelton's Lady Berlais rates the obvious threat, with in-form maiden Hide Out appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Nigel Hawke's filly FEACH AMACH could not cope with heavy ground last time but she beat a good yardstick over C&D in November.

Front View takes a big drop in distance after his runner-up effort over an extended 3m at Haydock last month and is an interesting contender off the same mark, but he could come out second best to NASHVILLE NIPPER. The veteran was only denied by a neck into second behind the well-handicapped For Pleasure last time out and he now takes a drop in grade, so looks the one to beat. Galahad Threepwood is another to note in first-time cheekpieces.

A few with chances but GEORGI GIRL signalled she's ready to add to her debut success when a very good runner-up at Wincanton on Boxing Day and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Nashville Nipper returned from a 22-month absence with an encouraging Fontwell second and is next on the list ahead of in-form pair Him Malaya and Macanogue.

A chance is taken on handicap debutant MACANOGUE who has chased home respected novices in both his British runs.

Heathcliff caught the eye with a near-miss over this trip at Newcastle last month and should have more to give. However, WAR BRIDE has shown stacks of promise in two previous starts, with her most recent second at Wolverhampton a particularly strong form line, and the 5lb sex allowance swings the vote in her favour. Spirited Lad and newcomer Sergeants Legacy are others to monitor closely in the betting.

HEATHCLIFF still looked green when runner-up at Newcastle 48 days ago and, with another step forward likely, he gets the nod over War Bride, who has actually achieved a bit more than the selection to this point.

The filly WAR BRIDE has run well to finish second at Wolverhampton on her two starts and is taken to go one better here.

Stroll On By should not be discounted, despite being well held at Kempton last time, but marginal preference is for TRAC. Micky Hammond's gelding returned to winning ways over 2m3f at Catterick a month ago and a 5lb rise for that success appears to be fair. The recent Ayr third Gandhi Maker edges out Hello Judge to be best of the rest.

Preference is for STROLL ON BY, who has taken well to fences and it was a stronger race than this in which he was third off a 1 lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Trac arrives here in good heart and he is feared most ahead of Hello Judge and Gandhi Maker.

The progressive TRAC (nap) made it four wins from his last eight starts when scoring at Catterick last month and can follow up today.

MOUNT TEMPEST followed up on his C&D victory to score by eight lengths in a class 2 event at Wetherby earlier in the month, and he is now 12lb higher for those pair of victories. The seven-year-old is improving at a rapid rate of knots and doesn't look like one to take on while he is in this form. Sir Psycho failed to justify odds-on favouritism over 2m3f at Exeter last month, but could get into contention dropping in distance, while last-time-out winner Keep Running is another to consider.

MOUNT TEMPEST has proved a different proposition with blinkers applied returned to 2m, making it back-to-back wins when making all at Wetherby 13 days ago, and he can score again with the potential for more still to come over fences. Kotmask also remains capable of better as a chaser and could be next best, ahead of Keep Running.

It's hard to rule out any of the six runners but KEEP RUNNING could be progressive enough to cope in this higher grade.

Rogue Rosie gave the impression that her turn in the winner's enclosure was imminent when a staying-on third over C&D on her penultimate start, but her tendency to be slowly away cost her at Wolverhampton subsequently and may hinder her chances again. WARMING arrives on the back of an admirable second over 6f at Southwell last week and, on her first attempt at the minimum trip off an unchanged mark, she may be able to show her rivals the way home. Unavailable has been dropped 1lb for finishing third at Wolverhampton and shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

WARMING found improvement when second at Southwell 8 days ago and, if she can back that up, she should take all the beating. Unavailable arrives on the back of a solid showing and Rogue Rosie has shaped better than the bare result the last twice, so she's also on the radar.

Preference is for ROGUE ROSIE, who was an eyecatching third over C&D two starts ago on her sole previous run on Polytrack.

HORN CAPE appreciated a drop back in trip to score at Newcastle last month and the seven-year-old, who also won over C&D earlier in the season, is capable of handling a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Coup De Coeur was runner-up on his UK handicap debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day and he is likely to enter calculations, while Moonlight Glory appears best of the remainder.

HORN CAPE arrives in the form of his life and could be up to defying a 4 lb rise for Newcastle back at a track where he has an excellent record. Coup de Coeur and Moonlight Glory are feared most.

The pick is HORN CAPE, who does not look harshly treated by a 4lb rise for last month's Newcastle win and is also suited by this C&D.

Up Helly Aa King dug deep when landing the spoils at Ayr earlier in the month and that willing attitude should stand the veteran in good stead. However, Nick Alexander's gelding must concede 5lb to the higher-rated NESTOR PARK, who looks to be favourably treated by the conditions of this contest. The 11-year-old hasn't been disgraced in recent months and makes most appeal, while Rose Of Arcadia is unlikely to be far away.

The mare ROSE OF ARCADIA appeals as the most likely winner judged on the improved form she has shown this season. Nestor Park ran well for a long way in a competitive Warwick handicap last time and should have a part to play, while last year's winner Broken Halo, Golden Sovereign and the veteran Up Helly Aa King are all worth a second look.

Rose Of Arcadia should run well but this is like a home game for BROKEN HALO (nap) who won this race last season.

HE'S AN ANGEL has impressed when scoring with the minimum of fuss on his two most recent outings over 6f, and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to stop Peter Niven's charge bringing up the hat-trick. Man On A Mission's recent third at Southwell can be upgraded after he was hampered leaving the stalls and, nudged up just 1lb for that effort, he rates as the main danger. Doc Sportello's rating has been generally regressive in recent times but after finishing an admirable second over 6f at Wolverhampton last week, he bids to arrest the slide back over the minimum trip.

The hat-trick beckons for HE'S AN ANGEL, who has improved to win 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Southwell the last twice and he shouldn't be unduly inconvenienced by dropping back to the minimum trip. Man On A Mission was unlucky not to finish closer when third in first-time blinkers at Southwell and he is likely to emerge as the main danger. That said, if the veteran Doc Sportello backs up his recent Wolverhampton effort he will be in with a shout, too.

Preference is for MAN ON A MISSION who is a three-time winner over C&D and who looked unlucky at Southwell last time.

THE BIG JETAWAY returns from a small break with his last appearance coming in a novice hurdle at Kelso in September. Twice a winner over fences in the summer, the drop back in trip is another positive for Donald McCain's gelding in a contest that appears to be winnable for the eight-year-old. Heritier's jumping let him down at Ayr at the start of the month, but a repeat of his second here the time before would give him every chance of bouncing back. Rocco Storm won over C&D in October and isn't one to discount.

THE BIG JETAWAY was in good order when last seen and, in a weak race back over fences, he makes the most appeal. Escapeandevade and Rocco Storm both need to bounce back from lesser efforts but the pair are well treated on their best form.

Perhaps this race will set up nicely for keen-goer HERITIER, who ran well in defeat here on his stable debut in December.

It was hard to not be impressed by Spring Note's demolition of her rivals when making all at Newbury last month, and Nicky Henderson's mare may have more to offer. A 13lb rise in the handicap does give grounds to take her on, though, with GYENYAME edging the verdict. The Nathaniel gelding has performed with credit in all three defeats this season and the stiff uphill finish here may bring out the best in him. Last-time-out scorers Clondaw Royale and Issam enter calculations too.

EAST INDIA EXPRESS didn't quite come up to expectations in a good novice at Newbury last time but he was impressive on his previous outing and the form is strong, so he takes marginal preference over his stablemate Spring Note, an emphatic winner at the same track last month. Clondaw Royal arrives on the up and makes plenty of appeal.

Some of his rivals have the potential to be better handicapped but GYENYAME rates a solid proposition on the form he's shown this term.

MONSIEUR FANTAISIE posted an excellent second at Wolverhampton last weekend and Archie Watson's gelding may be able to make amends for that narrow defeat. Coast arrives on the back of a workmanlike success over C&D and warrants consideration, while Red Walls is likely to be the one setting the early fractions but will need to bounce back from two handicap defeats in order to still be there at the line.

Despite his propensity to miss the kick and modest strike rate, MONSIEUR FANTAISIE is pretty appealing on the back of his recent near miss off this mark at Wolverhampton. If the 6-y-o is able to get away on terms here from the plum draw he could have the measure of Coast, who landed a minor event here at the beginning of the month. Red Walls is best of the rest.

Preference is for AUTUMN FLIGHT who is well drawn in stall two and drops to this level for the first time on his 76th start.

SKYHILL seemed to benefit from his first run of the season over C&D when making it back-to-back victories in the same contest at Catterick on New Year's Day. The 11-year-old makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a fourth success at this track. Largy Nights won the aforementioned C&D event in November and is expected to be competitive along with Rostello, a winner at Hexham on his penultimate start, and Onestepatatime.

Having resumed winning ways over C&D in November, ONESTEPATATIME hasn't been disgraced either outing since, fourth at Kelso latest despite not jumping with much fluency. The return to this venue rates a plus (all 3 career victories gained here) and she's a player having eased 2 lb in the weights. Skyhill, a winner at Catterick on New Year's Day rates the lead threat, with Eveque and Coolmoyne completing the shortlist.

Eight-time chase winner SKYHILL produced a good performance to score at Catterick this month and is also very well suited by this C&D.

HAVANA NOTION was able to build on a brace of promising efforts when winning over 6f here 10 days ago, and though a subsequent 5lb rise will ask sterner questions of him, he might be up to the task. Multiple course winner No Speed Limit likes to dominate proceedings, and he's berthed to do just that from his low draw. That said, Haumea showed good early tow when finishing second at Chelmsford in October, so she might apply some pressure out of stall one. Others to note include Below Deck and Zig Zag Zyggy.

A case can be made for a few of these but BELOW DECK arrives in very good order and can gain a deserved breakthrough success off a lenient-looking mark. Mulitple course scorer No Speed Limit heads the list of dangers, although Autumnal Breeze, Havana Notion, Haumea and Zig Zag Zyggy all need factoring in too.

The filly BELOW DECK ran with credit over six furlongs here last week and can reverse the form with Havana Notion back at 5f

Several to consider in a tricky finale, with a tentative vote going to BERTIE WOOSTER. Joe Tizzard's inmate failed to see out the extended 3m1f trip when weakening into third at Hereford last month and this drop in distance looks ideal. The hat-trick seeking Gyllen is sure to prove popular in his current mood and the nine-year-old isn't taken lightly, while Toonagh Warrior and Celtic Ned are potential improvers now faced with a stiffer test of stamina.

A very competitive novice handicap to end the card. CELTIC NED made a good start to his handicap career at Lingfield last month and is taken to build on that and strike for Gary Moore. Last-time-out Taunton 1-2 Gyllen and Wot You Wearing head the many dangers along with Eloi du Puy and Nicky Henderson's Bold Reaction.

A fiendishly difficult finale. TOONAGH WARRIOR did everything but get the job done at Ascot and today's longer trip should be a plus.

The Conqueror won over C&D before subsequently finishing fourth here at the start of the month. He is expected to be in the mix once again, but may prove vulnerable to THE RESDEV WAY. The veteran performer appeared to benefit from a change of scenery when going close on his first start for this stable at Wolverhampton, and a repeat of that effort may suffice. Naadyaa and Largo Bay appeal most of the remainder.

The vote goes to LARGO BAY, who didn't enjoy the best of runs over C&D last time and he had shaped as though his turn was near when placed in back-to-back Kempton handicaps prior to that. Stopnsearch has, like the selection, dipped to an attractive mark and he is next on the list ahead of The Conqueror and Naadyaa.

The choice is LARGO BAY who has run some creditable races in defeat lately and this looks easier.

A tricky puzzle to solve, in which it might pay to take a chance on CURSORY EXAM, who is able to compete from 17lb below his last winning mark. The six-year-old hasn't been at his best in recent starts, but there were signs of a return to form last time out, having been short of room approaching the two-furlong marker. General Idea's sole success came in a claiming event, though he has been running with credit here lately and the first-time visor could eke out more. Neddies Boy is another to consider.

Although SKY LEGEND was below par last time but he had been placed in 3 handicaps here prior to that and can bounce back to form with a bang dropped to a claimer. Overstate is another Denis Hogan runner weighted to have a say if returning to form on his first outing for the yard. Chica Linda could strip fitter for her recent comeback outing here and is also on the shortlist.

SKY LEGEND wasn't at his best here latest but may be hard to beat if he returns to the form of his placed efforts at end of 2023

Having been on target over C&D on his debut, ELEGANT MAN finished an excellent second in behind former Breeders' Cup Turf hero Rebel's Romance in a Listed event at Kempton next time. The unexposed son of Arrogate should have plenty more in his locker, and he looks an exciting prospect for the Adrian Murray team. Freescape was a commanding winner over track and trip last month, so he appeals as the main danger. San Andreas is another that could have a say, for all that he has yet to conclusively prove his stamina at this trip.

A winner on debut over C&D, ELEGANT MAN showed improved form when chasing home a decidedly smart sort in listed company at Kempton 44 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he's fancied to make a bold bid back down in trip. San Andreas and Freescape are others fancied to feature.

The Kempton Listed second of ELEGANT MAN looks very strong form and the lightly raced 4yo could take the beating here

A surprise winner over this course and distance a fortnight ago, Gatsby Cap is noteworthy despite being 6lb worse off with Hale Bopp (fourth) on the revised terms. However, consistency isn't his strong point and there may be more mileage to be gained by siding with BIG DREAM. A previous course and distance winner, the selection wasn't beaten far at Newcastle 22 days ago and a step forward from that could prompt a return to wining ways. Roman Palace completes the shortlist.

BIG DREAM is back down to the mark he went very close from over C&D in November and might prove the answer. Play It Again Zaam ran his best race for a while when third over C&D last time and should be on the premises if in similar form. Roman Palace and Hale Bopp are others to consider.

An encouraging C&D third in December from a similar draw, PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM is taken to get off the mark here

BUCKY LARSON has been shaping up well, runner-up despite not getting a clear run here last time, so it would be no great surprise were he to end a losing run here. In-form pair Feature This and Sunset Nova are obvious dangers.

Second on each of his last two starts, including when runner-up to the reopposing Just A Spark 24 days ago, he is 5lb better off with that rival and Mick Appleby's charge can reverse that form en route to further success. Rousing Encore is just 1lb higher than his recent C&D victory and looks set to go well. Exalted Angel should not be underestimated either.

ROUSING ENCORE displayed a fine attitude when going in here last month and looks weighted to go close off just a 1 lb higher mark. Intervention is proving an admirable sort and can't be taken lightly though, with his old rival and C&D scorer Just A Spark also firmly in the picture in a good sprint.

The three-year-old filly makes her handicap bow off a mark of 72, which could prove to be a lenient rating. Blue Soul finished third on her first start in the handicap ranks over 7f here last month and should go well off a 2lb higher rating, while Old Mexican is worth monitoring in the market on his handicap debut.

An open-looking 3-y-o handicap with the vote in favour of BLUE SOUL. Ger Lyons' filly shaped well with a view to stepping back in trip when third over 7f here last month and could yet have more to offer on the back of just 4 career starts. Exceeding also rates the type to do better and along with the selection's stablemate Alto Sax, heads up the dangers.

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

ENCIRCLE is a well-related daughter of Ten Sovereigns and goes for the in-form Simon & Ed Crisford yard on debut. She has plenty of stamina in her pedigree, but this trip looks like a good starting point and she can go in at the first time of asking. Alvesta sets the bar with a rating of 70 after hitting the crossbar over an extended mile earlier in the month and she is likely to be on the premises once more. Of the remainder, Sense Of Charm appeals most if she can take another step forward from her fourth at Lingfield.

ALVESTA stepped up on her previous form when finding only a very expensive well-bred newcomer of Godolphin's too good here a fortnight ago. This longer trip will suit and she's taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Miss Bielsa and Encircle are interesting newcomers from the Crisford yard and the betting could be revealing.

This can go to the newcomer MISS BIELSA, whose breeding suggests she will be very much at home on this surface.

19:00 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LOCAL GIRL posted her best effort yet when she was a half-length second to the now 83-rated Pier Pressure over this course and distance in November and a repeat of that level could suffice in this modest-looking maiden. Expound sets the standard on the official ratings and is feared most with first-time cheekpieces added, while Shanadar is closely matched with the selection, having finished a length and a half behind her in third in that aforementioned race. Come On The Lads is another to consider.

EXPOUND stands out on form and his new yard could get more out of him, so he takes preference over Shanadar, who also returns from a break. Come On The Lads can feature if back to the sort of form he showed on debut.

COME ON THE LADS could go well after an eyecatching run last week and this drop in trip may suit

19:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CRAFTER was second over this track and trip on his latest outing and he was given a 2lb rise for that display. The son of Muhaarar could make it two wins from his last three starts if running to that level here. The main threat might be Isle of Wolves, who has taken the silver medal on each of his last two starts, including once over C&D and he could get into contention off the same mark. Above The Line warrants a market check on her handicap bow.

ISLE OF WOLVES arrives on a long losing run but is knocking on the door and with the form of his recent Newcastle second proving strong he can go one better off the same mark. Crafter represents last year's victorious stable so this C&D scorer rates a big threat, while Come On John and Harbour Vision also have winning form at the track and warrant plenty of respect too.

The vote goes to CRAFTER (nap) who has good recent C&D form. His latest effort has since been boosted.

19:30 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MANHATTAN DREAMER performed with credit when a close-up third over 6f here recently. This first attempt over 7f could unlock some more improvement, which would make Adrian Murray's filly tough to beat. Emerald Eclipse is a potential fly in the ointment on his opening bid and any market support for the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt would have to be respected, with I Bid You Ajou also worthy of consideration on his return to this distance.

The step up to this trip should suit MANHATTAN DREAMER, who has shaped well both starts here over 6f and she remains open to improvement. Newcomer Emerald Eclipse ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. I Bid You Ajou and Sobriety Blue are others to consider.

Not much strength in depth here with MANHATTAN DREAMER (nap) taken to see off I Bid You Ajou

19:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BIG R scored with plenty in hand when opening his account over 6f at Kempton last week. A 5lb penalty and a quick turnaround may not be enough to prevent the four-year-old from going in again and he's sure to prove popular. Warminster posted one of his better efforts when a close second at Newcastle recently. Katie Scott's gelding could give the selection most to think about, ahead of C&D winner Alafdhal.

BIG R justified support when getting off the mark in good style at Kempton 9 days ago and he can score again now that he's up and running. Alafdhal is well handicapped on old form and is feared most after getting back on track when third at this C&D last time, with Warminster completing the shortlist.

Warminster should give it his all but EL HIBRI is taken to leave his recent Newcastle flop well behind him.

UPEPO had little difficulty in completing a quick-fire double at Lingfield recently and a 5lb penalty appears to be far from insurmountable for Tony Carroll's charge. The Roaring Lion gelding should take all the beating, with the main threat likely to be Easter Island. The five-year-old posted a promising second on his stable bow at this venue earlier in the month and he warrants respect. Classic Speed and Jumeira Vision could battle it out for the remaining spoils.

UPEPO is thriving and looks very much the way to go under a 5 lb penalty for his emphatic Lingfield victory. Easter Island appeals as the one to chase home Tony Carroll's hat-trick seeker ahead of in-form pair Eloped and Mirabello Bay.

The vote goes to ELOPED who is back off the same mark as when winning over C&D last September.
