12:55 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (4/1 +20%) Aviemore	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Aviemore 4/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1½m) for Charlie Johnston. Had the reopposing Midnight Rumble 4¼ lengths ahead of him in second when third on his C&D hurdle debut 19 days ago but his Flat ability suggests he could take a step forward now. About 4l behind Midnight Rumble over C&D last month but should improve on that effort.
6 2nd (6) (5/1 +50%) Ocean Conquest	5 5/1(+50%)	(6) Ocean Conquest 5/1, Flat winner in Ireland in 2023. Better effort in juvenile hurdles back from an absence for new yard when fourth of 7 at Ascot (2m, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. May do better again. Fourth behind exciting Lulamba at Ascot in latest hurdles start; one to consider.
4 3rd (4) (11/4 -10%) Lucky Bere	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(4) Lucky Bere 11/4, Fair 1½m Flat winner in France and runner-up in a pair of juvenile hurdles at Kempton for new yard. Likely to be on the premises again. Couple of second-place finishes at Kempton since switched to hurdles; solid claims.
5 4th (5) (4/1 -14%) Midnight Rumble	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Midnight Rumble 4/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat. Better effort in juvenile hurdles (fair form) when 4 lengths second over C&D (good to soft) 19 days ago. Should go well. Finished behind Lucky Bere on debut over hurdles; took a step forward here since.
7 5th (7) (10/3 +26%) Shareyourbiscuits	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(7) Shareyourbiscuits 10/3, Maxios half-brother to fair chaser Smurfette. This newcomer is from a top stable and would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for him. Half-brother to a chase winner; sole newcomer in the field; market helpful.
2 6th (2) (250/1 -150%) Catalan King	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Catalan King 250/1, Fair maiden on Flat for Ed Bethell but tailed off both starts over hurdles. Beaten long way in both attempts over hurdles.
3 \|RR\| (3) (33/1 -106%) Estate Planning	33 33/1(-106%)	(3) Estate Planning 33/1, Fair form on first of 3 starts in Flat maidens for Jessica Harrington and has improved with each start over hurdles , although reopposing pair Midnight Rumble and Aviemore were ahead of him over C&D last time. Finished behind a couple of these rivals here last time.

12:55 Warwick Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

LUCKY BERE confirmed the promise that he displayed on his hurdling debut when once again filling second place at Kempton last time. A reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance in this company. Midnight Rumble finished a place in front of Aviemore when second over C&D a couple of weeks ago and they could be the main threats, while Shareyourbiscuits is a newcomer to note.

AVIEMORE should be wiser with his C&D hurdle debut third behind him and is taken to turn the tables on Alan King's Midnight Rumble, who was ahead in second on that occasion. Lucky Bere is anotrher who has the form to be on the premises, while Dan Skelton newcomer Shareyourbiscuits would also come into it if the betting suggests he's fancied.

With the Lulamba form already boosted, OCEAN CONQUEST looks particularly interesting. Lucky Bere is second choice.

13:03 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (6/1 +25%) Saint Palais	6 6/1(+25%)	(4) Saint Palais 6/1, Useful novice chaser in 2021/22 but had missed 21 months after a brief stint back over hurdles the following season and it's hard to know how much ability he retains following a s low-key comeback at Ffos Las in December. The proven class act but he has some serious questions to answer at the moment.
3 2nd (3) (1/2 +25%) Newton Tornado	0.5 1/2(+25%)	(3) Newton Tornado 1/2, £85,000 buy after winning an Irish point in May and placed all 3 starts over hurdles, showing much improved form when second in 9-runner maiden at Cheltenham (20.2f) on New Year's Day. Sets a good standard. Cheltenham Grade 1 entry; the best hurdles form this term and good chance he will stay.
2 3rd (2) (7/2 -87%) Histrionic	3.5 7/2(-87%)	(2) Histrionic 7/2, Fair in bumpers and showed aptitude for hurdling after 8 months off (had breathing op) fitted with a tongue strap when fourth in 12-runner maiden at Warwick (21f) in December. Likely to improve. Fourth of 12 in maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m5f; tongue tied) in December was more positive.
5 4th (5) (16/1 +36%) Special John	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) Special John 16/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Rioga Choice, stays 21f, and fair 2m hurdle winner Its Gonnahappen. Dam (c123/h112) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner. Off mark in points at fourth attempt (Mar 2024). This demands a lot more than his point win but he does have the Grade 1 Cheltenham entry.
1 5th (1) (28/1 +44%) Great Name That	28 28/1(+44%)	(1) Great Name That 28/1, Point winner who showed fair form when placed over hurdles and fences for Harry Fry. Fell heavily first in Lingfield chase on reappearance for new yard in December. A watching brief is the percentage call back hurdling. Back hurdling today from chasing and he stays when on song, but it's a mixed picture.
6 \|PU\| (6) (250/1 -25%) Tommy Tucker	250 250/1(-25%)	(6) Tommy Tucker 250/1, 200/1, swerved and unseated rider first in maiden hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 39 days ago. 200-1, very green, jinked and unseated at the first over C&D in December.

13:03 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point winner NEWTON TORNADO has improved with each of his three hurdle starts to date and he finished well clear of a subsequent scorer when a good second over the extended 2m4f at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, when giving 7lb to the winner. This looks an excellent opportunity for the Rebecca Curtis-trained gelding to go one better, possibly at the main expense of Histrionic, who shaped more like a stayer when a respectable fourth over 2m4f at Warwick in December. Saint Palais can chase that pair home.

NEWTON TORNADO sets a good standard and is difficult to oppose with his latest effort supported by the timefigure. Histrionic should improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Warwick and can give the selection most to think about.

He needs to prove his stamina but clearly the most solid option still appears to be NEWTON TORNADO. Histrionic is next on the list.

13:15 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (7/2 +13%) Rubber Ball	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Rubber Ball 7/2, Irish point winner who shaped with promise in his sole bumper and is going the right way over hurdles, opening his account in clear-cut fashion at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 2 weeks ago. Open to further improvement. Faces classier opposition than at Uttoxeter but won there easily and he's progressing.
2 2nd (2) (11/8 +21%) Tutti Quanti	1.375 11/8(+21%)	(2) Tutti Quanti 11/8, Runner-up both starts over hurdles last season and improved when going one better in 12-runner novice at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft, 4/5) 90 days ago, dictating. That form has worked out relatively well and looks up to defying a penalty with further progress on the cards. Form stacks up well; has Cheltenham entries and promising to be well above average.
3 3rd (3) (6/5 -9%) Kientzheim	1.2 6/5(-9%)	(3) Kientzheim 6/5, Dual bumper winner in France for Armand Lefeuvre at the start of 2024 and belied market weakness to make a winning start over hurdles in 2m Kempton maiden 44 days ago, bit in hand. Sure to improve. Dual French bumper winner and comfortably defied market weakness at Kempton.
4 4th (4) (100/1 -52%) Atomic Level	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Atomic Level 100/1, Easily off mark in Irish points at third attempt (Oct 27) but shaped with little encouragement on her Rules debut over C&D last month. Point winner but at 33-1 he was never competitive here last month.
6 5th (6) (125/1 -56%) Strong As Steel	125 125/1(-56%)	(6) Strong As Steel 125/1, Hadn't looked much in bumpers and no better than mid-field in maiden/novice hurdles. Has been beaten 17l and 37l in his two races over hurdles; this is no easier.

13:15 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Kientzheim impressed when scoring with the minimum of fuss on her stable debut over 2m at Kempton on Boxing Day and this well-bred type looks sure to go well again. That said, TUTTI QUANTI is narrowly preferred. Paul Nicholls' gelding pulled clear with a subsequent two-time winner when landing the spoils over 2m at Ffos Las on his second start over hurdles in November and, with the promise of more to come, he looks the one to side with. Rubber Ball is also noteworthy based on his recent Uttoxeter success.

The form of TUTTI QUANTI's Ffos Las win has worked out reasonably well and he's taken to defy a penalty with further improvement forthcoming. Fellow previous winners Rubber Ball and Kientzheim also look quite promising, and they rate the obvious threats.

This should concern the three penalised winners. TUTTI QUANTI's form stacks up that bit better than that of his main rivals.

13:20 Naas Conditions Hurdle 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (7/2 -5%) Bacchanalian	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(1) Bacchanalian 7/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 10½ lengths sixth of 8 to Hello Neighbour in Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 66/1) 7 days ago. Should go well with sights lowered. Fairyhouse winner ran respectably in Grade 1 at the DRF last weekend; respected here.
3 2nd (3) (7/2 -5%) Murcia	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Murcia 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 7/1, first run since leaving David Cottin when 22 lengths eighth of 10 to Hello Neighbour in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) on IRE NH debut 44 days ago. Possibly didn't handle quicker ground on Irish debut at Leopardstown; respected here.
5 3rd (5) (16/1 +36%) Ephesus	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) Ephesus 16/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. 11/1, 5½ lengths second of 14 to Castleheath in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft) 26 days ago, running on. Good second at Punchestown, although was no match for Castleheath on the day; more needed.
6 4th (6) (6/4 +63%) Holy See	1.5 6/4(+63%)	(6) Holy See 6/4, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden. 2/1, second of 16 in juvenile hurdle at this course (15.9f, heavy) 13 days ago. Weighted to reverse form with Bacchanalian; stable won this last year; big chance.
2 5th (2) (6/1 -200%) Kurasso Blue	6 6/1(-200%)	(2) Kurasso Blue 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Won 10-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft, 65/10) 147 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Y. Fouin. Probably the one to beat. Half-brother to French 2m3f chase winner Rhum Bleu; won on hurdles debut at Auteuil.
4 6th (4) (8/1 +0%) Castleheath	8 8/1(+0%)	(4) Castleheath 8/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Won 14-runner juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft, 12/1) 26 days ago by 5½ lengths from Ephesus, having run of race. Needs a couple of these to falter. Punchestown maiden hurdle winner handles soft but will need to progress again to win this.
7 7th (7) (100/1 +0%) Mickey Cohen	100 100/1(+0%)	(7) Mickey Cohen 100/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at this course (15.9f, heavy) 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Okay run on hurdles debut at Punchestown but was well behind Holy See at Naas latest.

13:20 Naas Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KURASSO BLUE looked a nice sort when winning on his jumping debut at Auteuil last September and Gordon Elliott mentioned him as a potential Triumph Hurdle contender in stable tours earlier in the season. The Masked Marvel gelding was a bit green on his first outing over hurdles but was nicely on top at the line and is open to plenty of improvement. Bacchanalian was a bit too keen for his own good in the Grade 1 at Leopardstown last weekend and may be capable of a bit better than that showing. He had Murcia a couple of places behind then and may be able to confirm placings.

KURASSO BLUE is an interesting new recruit for Gordon Elliott and gets the vote, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Bacchanalian ran as well as could be expected in the Grade 1 juvenile at Leopardstown last weekend and is second choice ahead of Murcia.

Bacchanalian was far from disgraced in a Grade 1 last weekend but HOLY SEE is weighted to reverse the form with that rival

13:30 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (4/1 +75%) Celtic Art	4 4/1(+75%)	(6) Celtic Art 4/1, Respectable fourth of 11 at Taunton (19f, good to soft) in November and not discounted having dipped to 2 lb below the mark he defied at Lingfield last season. Fair fourth at Taunton last time and this shorter trip can help; in with a shout.
9 2nd (9) (13/2 +54%) Casi Crudo	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(9) Casi Crudo 13/2, Juvenile hurdle winner in December 2022. Runner-up twice in handicap company in 2023 but never involved on his completed start this winter. Not the easiest to assess at present. Needs to prove how much ability he retains but well handicapped on best 2023 efforts.
7 3rd (7) (10/3 +26%) Sao Carlos	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(7) Sao Carlos 10/3, Bumper/hurdle winner. Respectable of 8 in 2m Uttoxeter handicap on reappearance in December. Eased 3 lb on the back of that and could have a big say if reacting positively to a recent wind op. Lightly raced 7yo; didn't run badly on return & may have benefited from subsequent wind op.
3 4th (3) (13/2 +68%) Zambezi Fix	6.5 13/2(+68%)	(3) Zambezi Fix 13/2, Tends to save his best for Chepstow, usually ridden patiently and likes a good pace to aim at. Couldn't cash-in on lower chase mark at his favourite venue over Christmas and well held back hurdling at Taunton since. Won off 3lb higher last April but this 10yo hasn't really fired this season.
5 5th (5) (8/1 -100%) Got Grey	8 8/1(-100%)	(5) Got Grey 8/1, A big improver for his new yard, winning 2m handicaps at Stratford and Bangor at the end of the summer. Creditable fourth at Aintree in October. Given a break since, during which time he's had wind surgery. Harry Skelton rides stablemate but the drop back in trip looks a plus following a break.
4 6th (4) (12/1 -33%) Jackpot D'athou	12 12/1(-33%)	(4) Jackpot D'athou 12/1, Bagged 2 of his first 3 starts over hurdles last term but his handicap career has been disappointing, weakening tamely again at Carlisle when last seen 10 weeks ago. The cheekpieces worn on that occasion are quickly discarded. Two novice hurdle wins last winter but very disappointing in his three handicaps.
10 7th (10) (18/1 +45%) Storming Nelson	18 18/1(+45%)	(10) Storming Nelson 18/1, Winner of a 17f Exeter novice last January but has offered little in 4 subsequent handicap starts. Won Exeter novice hurdle last January but has struggled in handicaps since.
8 \|PU\| (8) (10/1 +38%) Pozo Emery	10 10/1(+38%)	(8) Pozo Emery 10/1, Got off the mark for his current yard in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (2m) in May. Failed to reproduce that in a hurdle/chase in June and absent since. Won at Southwell last May but no threat the next twice and he returns from some time off.
1 \|PU\| (1) (15/8 +32%) Kart D'estruval	1.875 15/8(+32%)	(1) Kart D'estruval 15/8, Winner in France last March. Disappointing when well beaten at odds of 1/3 on Wetherby stable debut in November. Has undergone wind surgery since and could prove a totally different proposition now. French winner who flopped on British debut, but wind op since and retains potential.

13:30 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

KART D'ESTRUVAL failed to fire when well supported in the market on his UK debut in November but, having had a subsequent wind operation, it would be no surprise to see him put in a much-improved effort here. Maxcel struggled in a stronger event at Market Rasen when last seen in July and he is another who could bounce back in this company. Got Grey also arrives with valid form claims.

A chance is taken on SAO CARLOS, who has been given a chance by the handicapper if a wind operation since last seen has had the desired effect. Kart d'Estruval has undergone the same procedure since weakening quickly on his British debut at the beginning of November and he could easily bounce back with a bang, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Celtic Art also makes the shortlist.

Preference is for GOT GREY who did well after joining the Skelton yard last summer and can benefit from the drop back in trip.

13:38 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (2/5 +35%) Surrey Belle	0.4 2/5(+35%)	(8) Surrey Belle 2/5, Fairly useful winner at 2m on Flat. Left Hughie Morrison's yard for 70,000 gns and has shown plenty of aptitude for hurdling in finishing runner-up both starts, latterly at Sedgefield (16.8f) 13 days ago. The one to beat. Capable stayer on the Flat and has twice gone down narrowly over hurdles.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 -45%) I Am The Moon	4 4/1(-45%)	(1) I Am The Moon 4/1, Acquitted herself well in a couple of bumpers and improved on hurdling debut effort to justify support in 10-runner event at Warwick (19f) 19 days ago. More needed under a penalty but her attitude will stand her in good stead. Jumped better when making all at Warwick; has the penalty but this race has no depth.
4 3rd (4) (7/1 +18%) Feet On The Ground	7 7/1(+18%)	(4) Feet On The Ground 7/1, Showed a good deal more than first time up over hurdles when third in 10-runner C&D maiden (soft) 60 days ago. Likely to improve further. Best form yet when third here two months ago and she might be improving.
3 4th (3) (22/1 -10%) D Day Arvalenreeva	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) D Day Arvalenreeva 22/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), creditable fourth last time. Could have a future in this sphere. Only 1-16 on the Flat but showed fair ability and she should have the stamina for hurdling.
7 5th (7) (22/1 +33%) Seas The Day	22 22/1(+33%)	(7) Seas The Day 22/1, Shaped well when runner-up both starts in bumpers but offered little on her completed outing over hurdles at Uttoxeter. Possibly more one for handicaps. Runner-up in both her bumpers but hasn't jumped well in two hurdles.
5 6th (5) (50/1 -25%) Manala	50 50/1(-25%)	(5) Manala 50/1, From quite a good family and made a solid start when runner-up in a bumper at Newton Abbot (for Nicky Henderson) back in May 2023. However, that form didn't work out and she was always behind on recent Huntingdon hurdle debut. Long absence before finishing amongst the stragglers on hurdling debut here.
2 7th (2) (150/1 +0%) Dartmouth Rose	150 150/1(+0%)	(2) Dartmouth Rose 150/1, Poor in bumpers and offered little on Leicester hurdling debut in December. Since left Pam Sly. Not strong form when third in a Market Rasen bumper and well beaten otherwise.
9 8th (9) (300/1 -50%) Voleur De Terres	300 300/1(-50%)	(9) Voleur De Terres 300/1, Dual winning Irish pointer but has offered little both starts under Rules. 2-11 in Irish points and has finished miles behind in both her hurdle races; opposable.
6 9th (6) (12/1 -41%) Paradise Park	12 12/1(-41%)	(6) Paradise Park 12/1, Shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 10 in bumper at this C&D (heavy, 25/1) on debut 9 months ago. Could build on that now going hurdling. Beaten about 8l in what's turned out a reasonable bumper here last April.

13:38 Uttoxeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a match between SURREY BELLE and I Am The Moon. The latter improved on her hurdles debut to make all in style over 2m3f at Warwick last month and there could be plenty more to come. However, dropping back in trip may not be ideal and her winner's penalty means she must concede 7lb to the former, who finished a long way clear of the third when a half-length second over 2m1f at Sedgefield 13 days ago. Adrian Keatley's three-time Flat winner has scope for improvement after only two starts over obstacles and has plenty in her favour today. Feet On The Ground rates best of the remainder.

SURREY BELLE has made an encouraging start to his hurdling career and is taken to make it third time lucky. I Am The Moon needs more under a penalty but has a likeable attitude and should at least keep the selection honest. Feet On The Ground can fill the places.

I Am The Moon should give it a good go from the front but SURREY BELLE can make it third-time lucky over hurdles.

13:50 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (14/1 +0%) Santos Blue	14 14/1(+0%)	(2) Santos Blue 14/1, A dual scorer around 2m4f last term and he comes here on the back of a good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Must enter calculations stepping back up in trip. Running well over 2m3f-2m5f; close third in April 2023 on one of his two attempts at 3m.
9 2nd (9) (5/1 +9%) Magical King	5 5/1(+9%)	(9) Magical King 5/1, Has resumed in good nick, second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, heavy) 49 days ago when clear of rest. Can make his presence felt once more. Good 2nd at Haydock (3m, heavy) last time, well clear of the 3rd; youngster of the party.
1 3rd (1) (4/1 +27%) Haiti Couleurs	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Haiti Couleurs 4/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after 3m handicap chase wins at Aintree and Cheltenham this winter. Likeable sort who's not taken lightly reverted to this sphere for his handicap hurdle debut. Has made a cracking transition to chasing; hurdles mark went up in tandem, but a player.
10 4th (10) (13/2 +19%) Kruger Park	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(10) Kruger Park 13/2, Course winner who comes here on the back of a very good third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) 60 days ago, despite going very keenly. Up 2 lb but that form has been franked so big shout. Two creditable places over extended 2m7f in the mud but needs to see it out a bit better.
7 5th (7) (13/2 -44%) Up For Parol	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(7) Up For Parol 13/2, Ended a long losing sequence in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, heavy) 28 days ago, quickening clear. Up 6 lb but he can go well again. Ffos Las (3m, soft) latest saw a first win since 2021; raced on inner and now back up 6lb.
12 6th (12) (7/2 +42%) Shutupshirley	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(12) Shutupshirley 7/2, Made light of a long absence when bagging 7-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, soft) 44 days ago. Hiked up 8 lb but he can make his presence felt again. 756 days off before his 11l win at Fontwell (extended 3m2f, soft) six weeks ago; up 8lb.
8 7th (8) (40/1 -100%) An Tailliur	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) An Tailliur 40/1, Prolific winner in handicap hurdles in 2021/22. However, nowhere near that level in 5 runs this season, including back hurdling. Hard to warm to. Dropped 12lb from his peak mark but he's been under a major cloud.
11 8th (11) (9/1 -38%) Tiny Tetley	9 9/1(-38%)	(11) Tiny Tetley 9/1, Resumed winning ways at Taunton in December and backed it up with a solid fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, soft) 21 days ago. In the mix once more. Below-form fourth at Haydock three weeks ago but he's a player on the earlier evidence.
4 9th (4) (22/1 -38%) Ballygrifincottage	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Ballygrifincottage 22/1, On a losing run and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Wincanton (26.7f, soft) 23 days ago on his final run for Dan Skelton. Blinkers go on for his new yard back hurdling with more required. New yard; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces for this first hurdle race since March 2023.
3 \|PU\| (3) (11/1 +45%) The Four Sixes	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) The Four Sixes 11/1, A useful 2m5f winning hurdler last term but he unseated his rider 15th in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) 43 days ago. Merits consideration back over the smaller obstacles now. Stamina not proved beyond an extended 2m5f; returns to hurdles needing a career best.

Needs to get back on track. Always behind at 80-1 after a long layoff; stamina to prove too but he needs a second look.

Has his fitness to pove. Ran well over 3m in April 2023 but not seen since a remote finish that May; dropped 6lb.

13:50 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Haiti Couleurs readily brought up a chase double over an extended 3m1f at Cheltenham in December and has to be of interest provided he can transfer that form to hurdles now racing off 5lb higher. That said, MAGICAL KING shades preference. He performed with plenty of credit when only finding one rival too good over an extended 3m at Haydock last time out and a 2lb rise should put him bang there once more. Up For Parol looks the pick of the remainder.

Plenty are in with a shout but KRUGER PARK rates the pick of the weights with the form of his latest Uttoxeter third working out well so this course winner gets the nod. Recent Ffos Las scorer Up For Parol heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Magical King, The Four Sixes, Santos Blue and Haiti Couleurs in a competitive handicap.

The vote goes to bottomweight SHUTUPSHIRLEY who returned in such good style on Boxing Day from more than two years off.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (11/1 -214%) Scalpnagoon	11 11/1(-214%)	(2) Scalpnagoon 11/1, Progressed again upped in trip when winning 7-runner maiden hurdle at Thurles (19.8f, good, 15/8) 20 days ago, driven out. Takes on stronger company here but may do better still. Can go well again after Thurles win but will have to prove effectiveness on softer ground.
4 2nd (4) (13/8 +28%) Koori Star	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(4) Koori Star 13/8, Fairly useful hurdler who posted another good effort when fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, soft) 21 days ago. Obvious claims. Fourth of 19 at Navan (2m4f, soft) when last seen; Sam Ewing booked; respected.
3 3rd (3) (2/1 +43%) Coral River	2 2/1(+43%)	(3) Coral River 2/1, Left hurdling debut form behind to win 10-runner maiden hurdle (11/2) at Gowran (16f, soft) 16 days ago. Open to further improvement, especially now tackling a longer trip. Good performance when last seen winning Gowran maiden hurdle and has claims again.
1 4th (1) (7/2 +0%) A Tipp For Gold	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) A Tipp For Gold 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler who lost action when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24.1f, good to soft) last week. Better judged on previous form. Won Listowel maiden hurdle (2m, soft) in September; big claims back in trip here.
5 5th (5) (9/1 +10%) Attaboyarchie	9 9/1(+10%)	(5) Attaboyarchie 9/1, Maiden who showed improved form upped in trip when third of 8 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Fairyhouse (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Drop back in distance not sure to suit. 3rd in 3m Fairyhouse handicap hurdle 4 weeks ago; drop back in trip might be against him.
7 6th (7) (66/1 -136%) Stretchemout	66 66/1(-136%)	(7) Stretchemout 66/1, Looks the type to do better in staying handicaps after this run. Point-to-point winner who shaped okay on rules debut but 17l behind Coral River latest.

Sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Doyen Star, and closely related to fair hurdler Hophornbeam, stays 2½m, and half-sister to a winner. Successful on last of 3 starts in points (Dec 1). 5th foal; 25,000euros 3yo; won Ballindenisk point-to-point in December; market will guide.

13:55 Naas Novices Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CORAL RIVER may prove the answer in a tricky looking contest. The Ol' Man River gelding had some nice bumper form and improved significantly from his first outing over timber to win at Gowran Park 16 days ago. He was nicely on top late on then and going a bit further now should help. A Tipp For Gold sets the standard off his mark of 125. He is obviously none the worse after pulling up quickly at Leopardstown last weekend and is entitled to play a big part in this company. Scalpnagoon is improving with racing and opened his account at Thurles last month. He's another that has to be on the shortlist.

KOORI STAR has run well in a pair of well-contested handicaps on his last 2 outings and sets the standard back in novice company. Coral River appeals as the type to go on improving now tackling a longer trip and is second choice.

Declan Queally is in fine form this season and A TIPP FOR GOLD should take all the beating back down to a more suitable trip

14:05 Warwick Maiden Chase (Class 1) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (3/10 -3%) L'eau Du Sud	0.3 3/10(-3%)	(1) L'eau Du Sud 3/10, Really exciting novice chaser who took the step up to Grade 1 level in his stride at Sandown (2m, soft) in December. It's highly likely he'll stretch his unbeaten record over fences to 4. Made it 3-3 in Grade 1 Henry VIII; 5lb penalty today but standout claims nevertheless.
3 2nd (3) (5/1 -43%) Rubaud	5 5/1(-43%)	(3) Rubaud 5/1, Smart hurdler, winning Kempton listed and Wincanton Grade 2 on return this autumn. Would have been a remote third to Sir Gino and Ballyburn but for falling at the last on his Kempton chase debut but openers over fences don't come much tougher than that. Sure to improve. Beaten when falling on chase debut but in red-hot race; classy hurdler; needs respect.
4 3rd (4) (16/1 +52%) Tedley	16 16/1(+52%)	(4) Tedley 16/1, Won handicaps at Uttoxeter and Wetherby on his first 2 outings over fences and has mostly performed with credit in defeat since. Vulnerable in this company, though. Several good runs in handicap chases this season but he has lots to find with L'Eau du Sud.
2 4th (2) (50/1 +0%) Riskintheground	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Riskintheground 50/1, Big improver with 4 handicap wins in the first half of the season but below par when last seen in November and major surprise were he to shake up his stable-companion. Four handicap wins last May-September but below par when last seen and up against it today.

14:05 Warwick Maiden Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

It is very hard to oppose L'EAU DU SUD, who has arguably improved since being switched to fences and was last seen winning the Henry VIII at Sandown in December. A 5lb penalty for that success should not stop the seven-year-old from scoring again here. Rubaud was well held when falling at the last on his chasing bow in the Wayward Lad but is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection based on his hurdles form. Riskintheground and Tedley both have plenty to find, but the latter is the pick of that pair.

The last 2 runnings of this have gone to Edwardstone and Jonbon and L'EAU DU SUD could be of a similar calibre himself judged on the way he took care of the opposition in the Henry VIII at Sandown before Christmas. Rubaud can follow him home.

Rubaud isn't ruled out but Grade 1 winner L'EAU DU SUD is taken to defy his penalty and make it 4-4 over fences.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (11/4 +8%) Lucky Lugger	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(3) Lucky Lugger 11/4, Remains a maiden but has taken well to chasing this season, runner-up at Chepstow on first 2 starts in November. Respectable 12 lengths third of 10 to Flamelco at Huntingdon (16.5f, soft) 16 days ago and he can give his running once more. Finished 12l behind Flamelco last time but is weighted to get closer to that rival.
4 2nd (4) (5/2 +44%) Another Lord	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(4) Another Lord 5/2, Off the mark in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f) final outing last season. After 10 months off, stayed on strongly for second at this course (22.2f, heavy) in December, before possibly finding race coming too soon last time. Appeals as type to make a chaser. Best hurdles form at longer trips; drop back to 2m looks a negative on chase debut.
1 3rd (1) (9/4 -80%) Flamelco	2.25 9/4(-80%)	(1) Flamelco 9/4, Opened chase account on third start for current yard at Catterick in December and soon left behind a lesser effort when also winning at Huntingdon (16.5f, soft) 16 days ago, despite tendency to jump left. Leading contender returned to left-handed track. Recent form includes a couple of comfortable wins; may improve further; respected.
5 4th (5) (28/1 +58%) What A Time	28 28/1(+58%)	(5) What A Time 28/1, Very lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was off for 3 years (from points) before being pulled up in handicap at this course (20f, heavy) on chase debut in November. Cheekpieces now reached for. Achieved nothing in sole run this term; now goes in headgear.
2 \|PU\| (2) (7/2 +30%) Isocrate	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(2) Isocrate 7/2, Much improved from hurdling debut last season when runner-up next 2 starts (both at around 2m), before a lesser effort upped to 21f in May. Badly hampered on handicap/chase debut at Southwell the following month, so he's not ruled out on return. Badly hampered when last seen (chase debut); interesting on best hurdles efforts.

14:13 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

FLAMELCO has improved markedly since joining Sarah Humphrey and he made it two wins from his last three starts with a facile success over Huntingdon's extended 2m last month. He went up 8lb for that victory but was very impressive on the eye and this looks like another good opening for the progressive seven-year-old. Lucky Lugger was 12 lengths behind the selection in third that day but reopposes on 10lb better terms today and has been threatening to score in recent months. Matt Sheppard's gelding looks the main danger, ahead of Another Lord.

FLAMELCO has made a largely positive start for Sarah Humphrey, making it 2 wins from his last 3 outings when scoring decisively at Huntingdon last time, and he can add to his tally with the return to a left-handed track to suit. He can confirm the form with Lucky Lugger from when the pair met 16 days ago, while Another Lord is one to note on chase debut.

Flamelco holds obvious claims on recent form but an interesting alternative is ISOCRATE, who looks open to improvement.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (6/4 +63%) Djelo	1.5 6/4(+63%)	(1) Djelo 6/4, Built on an eye-catching reappearance at Exeter when cruising to success at the expense of Protektorat in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon. That one got his revenge emphatically at Windsor 3 weeks ago, but there remains a strong suspicion that he's yet to peak and he won well here last season. Largely progressive and could easily bounce back from Windsor defeat.
7 2nd (7) (4/1 +38%) Hitman	4 4/1(+38%)	(7) Hitman 4/1, Hasn't won too many races but has returned in fine form this season, again runner-up in 21f Ascot handicap 3 weeks ago, moving better than anything but unable to match the winner's power-packed finish. Second in this for the last 2 years and likely to be on the premises once more. Runner-up in this race for the last two years; hasn't won since 2022.
5 3rd (5) (3/1 -50%) Bravemansgame	3 3/1(-50%)	(5) Bravemansgame 3/1, One-time top-class chaser not quite the force of old nowadays, though probably paid for racing up with strong pace in the King George VI on Boxing Day. 3-3 here and interesting to see tongue tie now applied. Great chance on these terms if he's on his game. Losing run is mounting up but his peak form sets a high standard.
8 4th (8) (16/1 +0%) Sam Brown	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Sam Brown 16/1, Smart veteran chaser who won 3m handicaps at Warwick and Ascot last season and has shown there's still plenty of life left in him this term in smaller fields in the Charlie Hall and Market Rasen veterans' handicap. This is tougher and he hasn't shone here previously (including in November). Beaten twice in this contest; unlikely to make it third-time lucky.
3 5th (3) (8/1 +0%) Ga Law	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Ga Law 8/1, Twice a winner in premier handicap chases at Cheltenham and good runner-up efforts first 2 starts this term before a rare flat performance there last time. Should bounce back. Useful over 2m4f and this step back up in distance is worth exploring.
6 7th (6) (22/1 -38%) Eldorado Allen	22 22/1(-38%)	(6) Eldorado Allen 22/1, His last win came in this in 2022 and he'd been showing smart form in veterans' handicaps before a tame run at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago. All headgear removed now and hard to fancy. Landed this prize three years ago but isn't the same horse now.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with GA LAW, but it might pay to do so. Jamie Snowden's charge was last seen running poorly at Cheltenham in December but he was in good form prior to that, finishing runner-up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, and this kind of scenario may bring out the best in the nine-year-old. Djelo impressed when winning the Peterborough at Huntingdon in December and is a fascinating contender up in distance, while Bravemansgame is classy on his day and he completes the shortlist.

DJELO misfired at Windsor 3 weeks ago but his impressive victory at Huntingdon prior to that is still fresh in the mind and there is a feeling this high-class chaser is yet to peak, particularly granted this sort of test. He's taken to concede weight all round. Paul Nicholls has a strong hand with Hitman and Bravemansgame, and perhaps the former can grab second in this for the third year running.

The Nicholls runners are big players at the weights but they haven't won since 2022. LE PATRON and Djelo are plausible alternatives.

Shaped well over hurdles prior to that and makes plenty of appeal with progress expected. Well-supported winner of a 2m4f Wexford bumper last May, had a previous hurdles run.
1 2nd (1) (9/4 +44%) Autoportrait	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(1) Autoportrait 9/4, Fairly useful hurdler. 6/5, second of 11 in maiden at Cork (24f, soft) 22 days ago, running on. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Should go well again. Placed in three maiden hurdle outings at 2m-3m, this trip may prove close to his optimum.
6 3rd (6) (13/2 -63%) Jump Allen	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(6) Jump Allen 13/2, Bumper winner. Stepped up on hurdle debut when fourth of 8 in maiden at Punchestown (22f, soft) 26 days ago. May do better again for top yard. Bumper winner, jumping flaws have been evident in his two races over hurdles.
12 4th (12) (50/1 +50%) Promontory	50 50/1(+50%)	(12) Promontory 50/1, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Kildisart and useful hurdler/smart chaser The Big Breakaway, stays 31f. Belated debut at eight for a well-related gelding who carries well-known colours.
11 5th (11) (17/2 -42%) Peaceinthevalley	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(11) Peaceinthevalley 17/2, Failed to complete both starts in points but was leading when unseating rider at the last on the second occasion. Joined a good yard for his Rules career and it'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Unlucky at Ballindenisk last May, in control when unseating at the last, respected.
4 6th (4) (28/1 -40%) Hitak	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Hitak 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Beaten 17 lengths when second of 17 in maiden (100/1) at Clonmel (16.9f, soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. More will be needed. Useful sort in points, clear second behind a very easy winner on hurdling debut at Clonmel.
7 7th (7) (125/1 -525%) Live To Laugh	125 125/1(-525%)	(7) Live To Laugh 125/1, Third sole start in points (Oct 2024). The betting should help guide to expectations. Fair third in a maiden point at Tattersalls last October, has joined a leading stable.
5 8th (5) (66/1 -100%) Jersey Des Brosses	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Jersey Des Brosses 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in maiden hurdle (16/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 23 days ago, faltering. Expensive buy has a great deal to prove now, flopped in bumpers, ordinary hurdles form.
15 9th (15) (250/1 -900%) Siege Ofjadotville	250 250/1(-900%)	(15) Siege Ofjadotville 250/1, Distant third of 17 in maiden hurdle (80/1) at Clonmel (16.9f, soft) on debut 24 days ago. Very remote third behind a Willie Mullins-trained winner at Clonmel, needs to jump better.
3 \|F\| (3) (12/1 -71%) Cardcounter	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Cardcounter 12/1, £50,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser Marown, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Castle Rushen, stays 3m. Runner-up in a point in October. Interesting hurdle newcomer. Second in a maiden point at Curraghmore last October for Pat Doyle, could go well.
10 \|F\| (10) (66/1 +34%) Native Dream	66 66/1(+34%)	(10) Native Dream 66/1, Placed once from 3 starts in points in 2023. Likely outsider on hurdle debut. Ordinary form in three point-to-point starts in 2023, not an obvious contender.
2 10th (2) (12/1 +52%) Big Mike	12 12/1(+52%)	(2) Big Mike 12/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 21 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 34 days ago. Should improve from last month's satisfactory hurdling debut over 2m at this venue.
9 11th (9) (250/1 -67%) Midnight Eugene	250 250/1(-67%)	(9) Midnight Eugene 250/1, 250/1, fourteenth of 19 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft) on NH debut 60 days ago. Completely tailed off on hurdling debut at Punchestown after a long absence.
13 12th (13) (200/1 -33%) Retreat Archie	200 200/1(-33%)	(13) Retreat Archie 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 15 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Down Royal (20.1f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Made mistakes on hurdling debut at Down Royal, likely to need more experience.
14 \|RO\| (14) (5/1 +33%) Road To Home	5 5/1(+33%)	(14) Road To Home 5/1, Won a Listowel bumper for Eugene O'Sullivan last summer. Joined Willie Mullins for his hurdle career.

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

LOVELY HURLING looked like a smart sort when winning his bumper at Wexford last May and may be able to score now back over hurdles. The Walk In The Park gelding had made his debut over timber at Fairyhouse last March when running freely and fading a touch late on. He should have learned plenty from his bumper run when he was settled out the back early on. Autoportrait has been knocking on the door and looks an obvious danger. He has a mark of 117 now which sets the standard. Jump Allen looks to be the stable choice from the two Willie Mullins runners but would need to improve a bit on recent form.

LOVELY HURLING was impressive in a bumper last May. He'd also shaped quite well in a hurdle prior to that and could take a bit of stopping if fully primed after his break. Autoportrait is second choice ahead of Peaceinthevalley, who would have won a point last time but for a late unseat, and the Willie Mullins-trained Jump Allen.

Mouse Morris has tried the consistent AUTOPORTRAIT over 2m and 3m. Perhaps this trip at a stiff track will bring out the best in him

5 2nd (5) (50/1 +0%) Sunday Soldier	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Sunday Soldier 50/1, Improved in leaps and bounds over hurdles last season, completing a 5-timer in handicaps. Improved again when second in a handicap hurdle and novice chase before Christmas but ran poorly at Fakenham last time. Stiff task in this company. Talented handicapper but there's a strong suspicion she'll be out of her depth today.
3 3rd (3) (1/1 +33%) Gala Marceau	1 1/1(+33%)	(3) Gala Marceau 1/1, Smart hurdler who chased home stablemate Lossiemouth in a 20.5f Grade 1 at Punchestown when last seen in May. She's the one to beat if returning from a break in the same form. Runner-up in mares' Grade 1 last May; key player if near the top of her game on comeback.
6 4th (6) (7/2 -75%) West Balboa	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(6) West Balboa 7/2, Very useful winning hurdler. Didn't take to chasing in the autumn but took a step back in the right direction at the second time of asking back hurdling when fourth in 3m Kempton handicap over Christmas. Player if reacting well to cheekpieces. Below best this season but good case can be made on her peak efforts last term.

Hasn't gone on from a promising chase debut second at Bangor in November and now reverts to hurdles. Has to concede 4 lb all round. Unsuited by fences this season and could bounce back with big run now reverting to hurdles.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

There have to be some reservations regarding GALA MARCEAU as Willie Mullins' mare has largely struggled since winning a Grade 1 at Auteuil in May 2023. However, she did at least run with credit in behind the classy Lossiemouth in the Mares' Champion Hurdle at Punchestown in May of last year and, eased considerably in grade for this return, she ought to go very close. You Wear It Well hasn't really progressed since going chasing and a return to the smaller obstacles could be of benefit. With that in mind, she could be a bigger threat than West Balboa, despite her 4lb penalty.

If GALA MARCEAU is close to her best on her reappearance she'll prove hard to beat. West Balboa will likely give her most to do if the addition of cheekpieces helps her to recapture anything like her peak form.

The leading form contenders aren't rock solid and a chance is taken on the novice DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS now she's back down in trip.

Down in trip with cheekpieces back on and must enter calculations. Below best this term but still managed 2nd at Haydock and 13l fourth in the Welsh National.
2 2nd (2) (8/1 -60%) Richmond Lake	8 8/1(-60%)	(2) Richmond Lake 8/1, Yet to score this term but he has made the frame on all three starts, a good third of 8 in handicap chase at Haydock (25.6f, soft) 21 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. Competitive off today's mark on all three starts this term, last time over 3m1f at Haydock.
5 3rd (5) (7/1 -110%) The Kniphand	7 7/1(-110%)	(5) The Kniphand 7/1, Resumed his progress with success in 4-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (24f, good to soft) 57 days ago.

Ought to go well again back up in trip. Faded last March when well beaten on sole attempt at 3m, so stamina poses a big question.
7 5th (7) (5/2 +25%) Hunter Legend	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(7) Hunter Legend 5/2, Comes here on a hat-trick after landing a pair of handicap chases at Leicester. Strong at the finish on latter occasion (22.7f) so can take another step forward now tackling 3m. Has resumed improvement; on a hat-trick and now looks well worth a crack at 3m.
8 6th (8) (16/1 -14%) Where's Frankie	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Where's Frankie 16/1, A dual chase winner last term but yet to hit top form this time around in handicap hurdles at Navan and Fairyhouse. Could still bounce back though now reverted to fences. Irish challenger; scored on soft over 3m2f and 3m4f last season; well beaten this term.
3 7th (3) (16/1 +0%) Jetoile	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Jetoile 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when a fair sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. In the picture with tongue strap now back on off a falling mark. Partial revival last time; 12lb below peak mark but he's unraced beyond 2m6f under rules.
4 \|PU\| (4) (11/2 +21%) Brave Kingdom	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(4) Brave Kingdom 11/2, Low-mileage chaser who made a promising return from 10 months off when third of 9 in handicap chase at Newbury (26f, good to soft) 42 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Merits serious consideration with that run under his belt. Went well long way when reappearing at Newbury (3m2f); player if that has put him right.

14:48 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

The hat-trick seeking HUNTER LEGEND is tough to overhaul when he gets his own way and with ground conditions very much in his favour, the Venetia Williams-trained gelding is fancied to enhance his progressive profile as a staying chaser. Fellow last-time-out winner The Kniphand is an obvious threat given his upwardly mobile efforts since being sent over fences. The class-dropping Monbeg Genius proved he is no back number with a respectable fourth in the Welsh National and is another must for consideration off 2lb lower.

A number of these offer potential, not least Paul Nicholls' BRAVE KINGDOM who shaped well after an absence when third at Newbury and can take a sizeable step forward now and get back to winning ways. Richmond Lake figures on a lenient mark and seems sure to be on the premises, while hat-trick seeking Hunter Legend is another who must enter calculations. The Kniphand and Cerendipity both need factoring into a cracking handicap too.

This strong field can be led home by hat-trick seeking HUNTER LEGEND (nap) who looks well worth the step up in trip and class.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (11/1 +45%) Master Chewy	11 11/1(+45%)	(3) Master Chewy 11/1, Made up into a very smart chaser last term, successful twice at 2m, and signing off with a smashing second in Aintree Grade 1. Good efforts in handicaps this term either side of his Tingle Creek fall but would be a surprising winner of this. Form has rather levelled off this term; held by Libberty Hunter on latest effort.
5 2nd (5) (9/2 +59%) Libberty Hunter	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(5) Libberty Hunter 9/2, Made relentless progress over fences last season and picked up where he'd left off returning from 8 months off when readily taking a 2m Cheltenham handicap 8 weeks ago. Still low mileage for his age and solid place claims back up in class. Registered a comfortable handicap win at Cheltenham in sole run this season; improving.
6 3rd (6) (11/8 +80%) Matata	1.375 11/8(+80%)	(6) Matata 11/8, Headstrong sort but continues to improve, resuming winning ways with a high-class performance under top weight for his new jockey in 2m Windsor handicap 3 weeks ago. That performance gives him good claims on these terms here but he's up against one that looks out of the top drawer. Impressively defied top weight in Windsor handicap last time; one of the main contenders.
2 4th (2) (9/2 +82%) Jpr One	4.5 9/2(+82%)	(2) Jpr One 9/2, Has an excellent record fresh and made a winning return on the back of wind surgery in the Haldon Cup at Exeter in November. Ran well behind Jonbon in the Tingle Creek next time, keeping on, but this is tougher still under his penalty. Has developed into a very useful chaser but this task looks difficult under 6lb penalty.
1 5th (1) (7/2 +65%) Edwardstone	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(1) Edwardstone 7/2, Won a thin renewal of this last season but still capable of high-class form, once again chasing home Jonbon in the Clarence House at Ascot 3 weeks ago. Will need a couple to misfire if he's to follow up. Made all (unchallenged) in this race last year; faces stiffer opposition this time round.

15:00 Newbury Conditions Chase (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Having disposed of his rivals in a class 2 handicap at Windsor last month, MATATA looks ready for a return to Grade 2 company. The second-season chaser has shown improvement with each run since returning with a close-up second at Cheltenham in October and he can be the one to capitalise on the late withdrawal of Arkle favourite Sir Gino. Edwardstone is a solid performer at this level and he warrants respect having landed last year's contest in ready fashion. Libberty Hunter boasts a similar profile to the selection and cannot be ruled out either.

In the absence of the likely favourite, MATATA can follow up a career best at Windsor and confirm himself high class as well, and see off the very likeable Libberty Hunter.

Impressive Windsor handicap winner MATATA can win again, with Libberty Hunter preferred to Edwardstone as the chief danger.

10 1st (10) (11/1 -38%) Duke Of Leggagh	11 11/1(-38%)	(10) Duke Of Leggagh 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on the Flat. Creditable 14 lengths third of 12 to Well Dressed in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 14 days ago. Has a 15lb pull in the weights with Well Dressed for 14l beating at Fairyhouse; contender.
9 2nd (9) (9/1 -29%) Fairyland Opera	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Fairyland Opera 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 21 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Open to progress now handicapping. Bottomless ground possibly to blame for last run but fascinating contender on handicap bow.
12 3rd (12) (11/2 +8%) Mercury Mission	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(12) Mercury Mission 11/2, Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Punchestown (20.6f, heavy) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip and can make his presence felt. Best work late when 5th at Punchestown latest; this trip might be too sharp for him.
8 4th (8) (40/1 -21%) Bynx	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Bynx 40/1, 50/1, sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and she needs to raise her game. Both hurdle wins have come at Tramore; led for a long way at Cork but others preferred.
6 5th (6) (11/1 +21%) Miss Gherkin	11 11/1(+21%)	(6) Miss Gherkin 11/1, Good fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good, 18/1) 49 days ago. Merits consideration. Fifth of 18 at Thurles off current mark in December, beaten 4.5l; each-way possibilities.
1 6th (1) (2/1 +20%) Well Dressed	2 2/1(+20%)	(1) Well Dressed 2/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 14 days ago, easily. Expected to be bang there. Bolted up off 110 at Fairyhouse; much higher mark to contend with here but a big player.
5 7th (5) (15/2 +6%) Doctor Churchill	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(5) Doctor Churchill 15/2, First run since leaving C. W. J. Farrell when improved to win 17-runner handicap hurdle at this course (18.9f, heavy, 28/1) 34 days ago, kept up to work. This is more demanding. Won 17-runner handicap hurdle here by 8l; still well treated on pick of his old form.
2 8th (2) (12/1 +52%) Your Honor	12 12/1(+52%)	(2) Your Honor 12/1, 33/1, fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Has work to do. This is easier than tough Doncaster assignment but he's still 5lb above last winning mark.
11 9th (11) (28/1 -56%) The Truant	28 28/1(-56%)	(11) The Truant 28/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft, 9/1). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Respectable on last hurdle run. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Might need this after a short break but he has won fresh before; monitor the betting.
3 10th (3) (66/1 -164%) Ballycallan King	66 66/1(-164%)	(3) Ballycallan King 66/1, Fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, soft, 50/1) 24 days ago. Others more persuasive. Handicap hurdle winner off 108 at Limerick never involved over hurdles at Clonmel latest.
4 \|PU\| (4) (10/3 +17%) Ragmans Corner	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(4) Ragmans Corner 10/3, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft, 11/4) 26 days ago, easily. Possibilities. Career-high mark to contend with but is in rude health after impressive victory latest.

15:05 Naas Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WELL DRESSED hacked up in Fairyhouse last month and there could be plenty more to come from her now that she has got off the mark. The handicapper raised her by 12lb, but she is a lightly-raced sort who will appreciate this trip and ground. She faces another couple of recent wide-margin winners in Ragmans Corner and Doctor Churchill who will also relish conditions. The former enjoyed himself in a qualified riders' handicap hurdle at Punchestown, while the latter made a very bright start to life with Patrick Hayes over further at this track. Mercury Mission is one for each-way players to home in on as his third in Cork and fifth at Punchestown give him prize-money claims.

The vote goes to WELL DRESSED, who opened her account in good style in a Fairyhouse handicap a fortnight ago and while this 12 lb higher mark won't be easy to overcome, she is nevertheless expected to rise to the challenge. Fairyland Opera is a likely improver now pitched into a handicap and she is second choice ahead of Ragmans Corner.

FAIRYLAND OPERA was just behind a 125-rated runner at Naas in November so the handicapper has been lenient on her here

15:15 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (5/4 +69%) Le Milos	1.25 5/4(+69%)	(4) Le Milos 5/4, Big improver over fences in 2022/23, winning the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Disappointed last season but there have been encouraging signs in 3 runs this time round, particularly when third at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) last time. One to consider off an attractive mark. Step back in right direction when third at Chepstow last time and he's one to consider.
9 2nd (9) (7/2 +86%) Whistleinthedark	3.5 7/2(+86%)	(9) Whistleinthedark 7/2, Winner of 4 of his 13 starts over fences but was more miss than hit last term and it's been a similar story both starts since returning from a break in December. His mark continues to fall but he's been unable to get competitive this season.
8 3rd (8) (17/2 -21%) Smarty Wild	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(8) Smarty Wild 17/2, Just the one win from 16 starts over fences but placed more often than not in this sphere, including when third in an 8-runner veterans' event at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) last month. Down 2 lb and this drop back in trip possibly a good move, so he's not without hope. Encouraging third at Market Rasen on second start back from absence; could build on it.
6 4th (6) (12/1 +33%) Quel Destin	12 12/1(+33%)	(6) Quel Destin 12/1, Won 2 heavy-ground handicaps (at up to 21.6f) last term but ended that campaign on a downer and he's hard to warm to on the back of a tame seasonal reappearance display at Exeter. Pulled up on December comeback but tailed off on return last season before winning next 2.
2 5th (2) (4/1 +27%) Shakem Up'arry	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Shakem Up'arry 4/1, Bagged a major 20.6f handicap at Cheltenham on New Year's Day last year and followed up in the Plate over the same C&D at the Festival. Fell before the halfway point on return/first run in veterans company back at Prestbury Park in December but surely won't be far away granted a clear round here. Race-fitness is a query but major player if reproducing Cheltenham Festival-winning form.
5 6th (5) (8/1 +6%) Grandads Cottage	8 8/1(+6%)	(5) Grandads Cottage 8/1, Seen to good effect when making a winning return at Carlisle in December and followed that with a poor effort Market Rasen. Needs to bounce back now equipped with first-time cheekpieces. 10l win at Carlisle then pulled up at Market Rasen; player if bouncing back in cheekpieces.

15:15 Warwick Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

It's been a while since LE MILOS' last chase success, but this will be the first time Dan Skelton's charge has contested a veterans' event. He performed with enough credit at Chepstow recently to suggest that he can still be a force and, from 2lb below that mark, he is fancied to regain the winning sequence. Grandads Cottage put it a rare below-par effort when pulled up at Market Rasen last month but he could bounce right back in first-time cheekpieces. Smarty Wild is another to consider.

LE MILOS hasn't got his head in front since landing a major Newbury handicap back in November 2022, but there were positives to take form his latest effort at Chepstow and this first foray into veterans company could prove fruitful. If Shakem Up'arry stays on all fours this time he is bound to pose a threat and Editeur du Gite would take some catching off this much reduced mark if returning to anything like his best. Smarty Wild is also shortlisted.

The front-runner EDITEUR DU GITE could enjoy the run of the race and is taken to exploit a reduced mark. Smarty Wild is a danger.

5 1st (5) (11/4 +66%) Burrows Hall	2.75 11/4(+66%)	(5) Burrows Hall 11/4, Doubled his tally over hurdles at Catterick (25.3f) 12 months ago. Ran well sent chasing on second outing this season, but not in quite the same form back hurdling last 2 starts, making mistakes when sixth of 17 at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Effective at this trip but last win was over 3m1f and probably needs that far now.
1 2nd (1) (15/8 +32%) El Granjero	1.875 15/8(+32%)	(1) El Granjero 15/8, Won at Hereford final 2 starts last season and, in first-time cheekpieces, got back on the up when second at this C&D (heavy) on New Year's Eve, edged out dying strides but finishing clear of the rest. Can give another good account. In first-time cheekpieces when a clear second over C&D on New Year's Eve.
3 3rd (3) (7/2 -56%) Don't Tell Su	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(3) Don't Tell Su 7/2, Bumper winner and, having placed on first 3 starts over hurdles last season, landed the odds in a Wincanton maiden (15.2f) in March. Returned with good runner-up efforts at Sandown and Warwick (21f, soft), so he can make his presence felt once more. Three seconds in handicap company and has been bumping into well-treated horses.
4 4th (4) (12/1 +0%) Rock Hurley	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Rock Hurley 12/1, Won pair of 4-y-o hurdles in France but hasn't yet reached those heights for current connections. However, step in the right direction when third in handicap at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) in December and he's on a dangerous mark if building on latest effort. Better effort last time at Bangor but in a Class 5 and this should demand more.
2 5th (2) (4/1 -113%) Hourvari	4 4/1(-113%)	(2) Hourvari 4/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles in 2022/23. Below expectations on handicap debut only start last season, but after another 13 months off he ran well when second at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) in November. Major player. Returned from a year out with a good second over a similar trip at Wetherby.

15:23 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The form of HOURVARI's second-placed finish at Wetherby last November has been well advertised by the winner going in again since and the still low-mileage eight-year-old catches the eye running of a potentially lenient current rating. Don't Tell Su is similarly appealing off a highly workable mark and considering Bryony Frost and Paul Nicholls teamed up to win the 2022 renewal, the forecast slot is well within reach. El Granjero also enters calculations after a near miss over C&D off 4lb lower in December.

After 13 months off, HOURVARI proved that he retains his ability when runner-up at Wetherby in November, form boosted by the winner scoring again since, and he can build on that effort to get back to winning ways. Don't Tell Su isn't taken lightly having yet to finish out of the top three over hurdles, with El Granjero also respected.

A change of fortune might be forthcoming for DON'T TELL SU who has ran into well-treated improvers in his previous handicaps.

17 1st (17) (9/2 +25%) Joyeuse	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(17) Joyeuse 9/2, Half-sister to connections Champion Hurdle winner Epatante. Having just the fourth outing of her career when promising second on 2½m Cheltenham handicap debut in December. There's surely more to come from this unexposed mare. Unexposed mare who looks an interesting contender for last year's winning connections.
1 2nd (1) (16/1 +36%) Lump Sum	16 16/1(+36%)	(1) Lump Sum 16/1, Grade 2 novice hurdle winner last season and improved again to make a winning reappearance in the Welsh Champion Hurdle (handicap) at Ffos Las in October. Stepped up to Grade 1 level since, finishing best of rest behind Sir Gino in Fighting Fifth before a remote last of 4 in Christmas Hurdle. Won the Welsh Champion Hurdle in sole handicap attempt but this is harder off 10lb higher.
16 3rd (16) (6/1 +25%) Navajo Indy	6 6/1(+25%)	(16) Navajo Indy 6/1, Progressive sort who completed a hat-tick when seeing off 12 rivals, including Our Champ, in Gerry Feilden over C&D in November. Off the bridle a long way out but stuck on for a good 2¾ lengths fourth of 14 to Secret Squirrel at Windsor (2m, good to soft) since. Cheekpieces may help. Respected. Progressive; 2-3 at Newbury; latest effort suggests he'll be aided by first-time headgear.
3 4th (3) (17/2 +15%) Favour And Fortune	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(3) Favour And Fortune 17/2, Enjoyed a good first campaign over hurdles, culminating with a win in the Scottish Champion Hurdle (handicap) at Ayr (2m, good to soft) in April. Could only manage a well-held sixth in another valuable handicap on Ascot reappearance before Christmas but expect him to come on plenty for the run. Scottish Champion Hurdle winner who may still have further progress in him; possibilities.
7 5th (7) (10/1 +60%) Beat The Bat	10 10/1(+60%)	(7) Beat The Bat 10/1, Bumper winner who quickly made up into a very useful hurdler last winter. Good second of 14 on 19f Haydock reappearance in November but seemed unsuited by the drop back to 2m when 7¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Secret Squirrel at Windsor since. Unsuited by the return to 2m last time; may be more interesting when back up in trip.
18 6th (18) (20/1 +39%) King William Rufus	20 20/1(+39%)	(18) King William Rufus 20/1, Likeable front-runner who put an end to a frustrating run of seconds when the dominant winner of what had looked a competitive handicap hurdle at Ascot (2m, good to soft) in December. The run probably came too soon when only sixth at Chepstow a week later. Freshened up since. Recent form includes an easy win at Ascot but this is a big step up in class.
15 7th (15) (28/1 +44%) Go Dante	28 28/1(+44%)	(15) Go Dante 28/1, Winner of the Imperial Cup at Sandown (soft) in March but hasn't hit the same heights this season, finishing eleventh of 14 to Secret Squirrel at Windsor latest. Good third in this contest 12 months ago; has lost his form this season.
6 8th (6) (33/1 -32%) Our Champ	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Our Champ 33/1, Returned to his best to win 2m Ascot handicap in November, with Secret Squirrel back in third. Good third to Navajo Indy in Gerry Feilden over C&D next time before going off too hard in the valuable Ascot event won by Fiercely Proud. The type to bounce back. Ties in with Navajo Indy on C&D form but likely has nothing in hand off current mark.
14 9th (14) (50/1 -25%) Williethebuilder	50 50/1(-25%)	(14) Williethebuilder 50/1, Has advanced his form this term after wind surgery, scoring at Wetherby (2m) in November. Seemed spooked by an early faller when pulled up at Ascot later that month and can be forgiven that run. Freshened up since. Best to forgive latest effort but he faces a stiffer assignment at this level.
12 \|F\| (12) (10/3 +33%) Secret Squirrel	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(12) Secret Squirrel 10/3, In process of running a cracker when falling at the last in the valuable Ascot event won by Fiercely Proud and confirmed that promise when landing a good prize at Windsor (2m, good to soft) last month. A 5 lb penalty shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Comfortable win at Windsor took his record to 5-11; leading contender under a penalty.
13 10th (13) (16/1 +20%) Mirabad	16 16/1(+20%)	(13) Mirabad 16/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France and has a progressive profile around 2m over hurdles, building on Ascot's November third to Aucunrisque when winning a 14-runner race at Cheltenham in December. Did benefit from an enterprising ride, though, and he'll need more again off 10 lb higher. Cheltenham success took his record under Luke Scott to 2-3 and hurdles score to 3-7.
9 11th (9) (28/1 +15%) Aucunrisque	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Aucunrisque 28/1, First win since his 2023 success in this when landing a decent 2m Ascot handicap in November but needs to shrug off a poor run at Kempton over Christmas. Landed this prize two years ago but isn't the same horse now.
2 12th (2) (14/1 +30%) Iberico Lord	14 14/1(+30%)	(2) Iberico Lord 14/1, Won the Greatwood at Cheltenham and this race in an excellent 2023/34 campaign. Failed to convince over fences at the start of this season (despite a win at Kempton) and shaped better than the result suggests back hurdling when fourth of 5 over 2½m at Windsor last month. Enters reckoning back at 2m. Successful in this race last year; now 10lb higher and Nico de Boinville prefers Joyeuse.
8 13th (8) (14/1 +13%) Washington	14 14/1(+13%)	(8) Washington 14/1, Improver for this new yard after wind surgery, winning 2m handicaps at Chepstow and Fairyhouse (valuable event) towards the end of 2024. Freshened up ahead of this tilt at another big prize. Further progress can't be discounted. 2-2 for new stable, the latest success in Listed handicap at Fairyhouse; one to consider.
5 \|PU\| (5) (11/1 +21%) Fiercely Proud	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Fiercely Proud 11/1, Built on 2 encouraging runs in November when winning a valuable 2m handicap at Ascot just before Christmas. Hit with a 9 lb rise after the first 2 came clear so he will require another career best if he's to land a second big pot of the winter. Career-best performance in similar event at Ascot last time; may well remain competitive.
11 \|PU\| (11) (18/1 +45%) Josh The Boss	18 18/1(+45%)	(11) Josh The Boss 18/1, Resumed progress on return with victory in 17-runner Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) in October, form which has worked out well. Failed to repeat that effort at Haydock (19f, soft) the following month but he's not ruled out given his yard's decent record in this. Campaigned at longer trips over hurdles; something to prove back at 2m.
4 \|PU\| (4) (25/1 +0%) Minella Missile	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Minella Missile 25/1, Point winner who was unbeaten in two starts as a novice hurdler last season, including a Grade 2 over 21f at Cheltenham. Off 14 months, never involved in 3m Windsor handicap on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Connections have had a big rethink on the trip. Not fully exposed but this drop to 2m presents a question mark.

15:35 Newbury Handicap Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A tentative vote goes to FAVOUR AND FORTUNE, who is only 2lb higher than when scoring in a big field on handicap debut at Ayr's Scottish National meeting last April. Runner-up in the Formby last season, Alan King's charge should come on for an inauspicious return run at Ascot and looks primed for this assignment. Not outside the first two in three starts over C&D, including success in the Gerry Feilden, Navajo Indy looks to be a key threat, as well as Secret Squirrel, who had three lengths to spare over the former when scoring at Windsor last month. Related to the high-class Epatante, Joyeuse remains unexposed and open to improvement for last year's winning connections, while Fiercely Proud and Washington cannot be ruled out either.

A typically strong renewal in which it might be worth siding with FAVOUR AND FORTUNE to bounce back to form with his reappearance behind him. Alan King's charge has had the form of last spring's Ayr Champion success franked on a few occasions and still looks on a good mark. A 5 lb penalty for Windsor shouldn't prevent Secret Squirrel from making a bold bid to land another valuable prize and he's second choice ahead of Washington and Nicky Henderson pair Joyeuse and Iberico Lord.

Back at Newbury, NAVAJO INDY is taken to reverse Windsor placings with Secret Squirrel who warrants respect all the same.

Interesting to see where he stands in the betting in relation to stablemate Eternal Echo. First foal out of the outstanding Apple's Jade, rider's claim will help her cause.
2 3rd (2) (5/4 +69%) Facile Ocean	1.25 5/4(+69%)	(2) Facile Ocean 5/4, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chase winner Fascile Mode and 23f chase winner C'est Rien. Dam modest 2½m hurdle winner. One of 2 runners for the yard. Half-brother to useful stablemate Fascile Mode who won on debut, pick of stable's pair.
4 4th (4) (11/1 +67%) Shabra Diya	11 11/1(+67%)	(4) Shabra Diya 11/1, Fifth of 8 in bumper at Navan (16f, soft, 33/1) on NH debut 21 days ago. Cheekpieces quickly reached for. The experience of his Navan introduction should help but unlikely to be good enough.

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

APPLES JANE is really bred in the purple being by Walk In The Park out of the mighty mare Apple's Jade. Gordon Elliott knows what is required to win this race having landed three of the last five renewals and she looks the pick of his two runners. Tom Mullins also runs a pair of horses and his Facile Ocean is a half-brother to Fascile Mode who has won four times for the stable, including on debut in a bumper at Leopardstown. Elliott's Eternal Echo is worth a market check, while Anthony McCann's Shabra Diya would need to improve upon an opening fifth in a Navan bumper. There are winners in his pedigree, though, and he sports first-time cheekpieces.

With little worthwhile form to go on the market may well tale a tale. At this stage, ETERNAL ECHO is preferred to stablemate Apples Jane.

The 7lb allowance and her rider's claim are assets for APPLES JANE, the first foal out of the brilliant Apple's Jade

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (15/2 -88%) Irish Hill	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(4) Irish Hill 15/2, Notched sixth success over hurdles when scoring at Plumpton in November, in the process putting his poor reappearance run well behind him. Placed both starts since, latterly finishing a close third to East India Express (winner again since) at Ascot (21.6f, good to soft), and he needs considering. In fine form in these cheekpieces on his last three starts and he's a key player.
7 2nd (7) (13/8 +28%) Panic Attack	1.625 13/8(+28%)	(7) Panic Attack 13/8, Three-time hurdles winner for David Pipe and looked better than ever when making it third time lucky for present yard when landing a mares' handicap chase at Windsor (20.2f, good to soft) last month. Huge chance back hurdling off the same mark as for that Windsor success. Chasing is her optimum discipline but has same mark for recent 5l Windsor win over fences.
2 3rd (2) (2/1 +64%) Act Of Authority	2 2/1(+64%)	(2) Act Of Authority 2/1, Three-time winner as a novice and built on his reappearance run at Chepstow when landing handicaps at Sandown and Wetherby within the space of 6 days in November. Came unstuck in hat-trick bid at Aintree on Boxing Day but wasn't ideally placed on that occasion and he has to enter calculations. Only fourth at Aintree when bidding for hat-trick but 7lb claimer Lewis Saunders returns.
1 4th (1) (14/1 +13%) No Ordinary Joe	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) No Ordinary Joe 14/1, Lightly raced 9-y-o who ended last term in good form, shaping much better than distance beaten suggests when seventh in Martin Pipe at the Festival in March. However, hasn't shown a great deal in 2 starts so far this season and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Shanagh Bob. Soundly beaten on both starts this season but has had excuses; not written off.
3 5th (3) (9/2 -13%) Shanagh Bob	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Shanagh Bob 9/2, Grade 2 Cheltenham novice hurdle winner last term and, following a couple of disappointing runs over fences, he got back on track returned to this sphere when runner-up in 25f Huntingdon handicap with cheekpieces enlisted (discarded here). Claims if coping with this drop back in trip. Back-to-form second at Huntingdon recently; shorter trip today but still respected.
6 6th (6) (28/1 +0%) Light N Strike	28 28/1(+0%)	(6) Light N Strike 28/1, Shaped well when runner-up at Kempton in April 2023 and confirmed that promise when gaining a fourth success over fences in handicap here next time. However, he showed nothing after 18 months off at Huntingdon and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Well handicapped but pulled up at 33-1 in December following a long absence.

15:48 Warwick Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

IRISH HILL lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third behind a subsequent winner over an extended 2m5f at Ascot in December and, nudged up 4lb for that, he looks sure to go well again. Panic Attack was last seen running out a well-backed winner over fences at Windsor in January and she commands respect now sent back hurdling off the same mark. Act Of Authority's hat-trick bid was thwarted at Aintree on Boxing Day but he could bounce back off an unchanged rating.

PANIC ATTACK looked on very good terms with herself when striking over fences at Windsor and she is likely to prove a tough nut to crack returned to this sphere off the same mark. Though thwarted in his hat-trick bid at Aintree, Act of Authority shaped as though still in good form and, given a short break since, he could emerge as the main danger. Shanagh Bob is also feared, despite doubts as to whether this drop back in trip will work in his favour, and Irish Hill merits respect, too.

The mare PANIC ATTACK (nap) won over fences at Windsor latest and is selected to follow up off the same mark. Irish Hill is feared.

6 1st (6) (5/4 +55%) Plage De Havre	1.25 5/4(+55%)	(6) Plage De Havre 5/4, Upped in trip for handicap debut, showed further improvement when first past the post in 10-runner event at Southwell (12.1f, 7/2) 22 days ago, demoted to second having bumped rival. Could be thereabouts once more. Progressive and can gain compensation for being demoted to second on handicap debut.
7 2nd (7) (6/1 +0%) Midnight Lion	6 6/1(+0%)	(7) Midnight Lion 6/1, Has won 4 times at this course, recording back-to-back victories (both at 10.2f) in January. Creditable third of 6 in handicap here (16.2f, 6/5) 4 days ago and he can give his running again back down in trip. Three course wins since joining this yard but handicapper might have got him.
3 3rd (3) (11/2 +0%) Knockbrex	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(3) Knockbrex 11/2, Gained a first handicap success at Lingfield (12f) in January, before racing along unfavoured inside when third in 5-runner contest (10/11) at the same course (10f) 30 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back. 1m4f winner at Lingfield last month and excuses when only 7l third over 1m2f there since.
2 4th (2) (7/2 +0%) Gaassee	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Gaassee 7/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022 but has made an encouraging start for current yard this year, conceding first run when second of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago. Enters calculations back down in grade. Useful in his prime and went down by only a nose off this mark at Kempton latest; player.
1 5th (1) (11/2 -38%) Northern Ruler	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(1) Northern Ruler 11/2, Made first start since leaving William Haggas a winning one at this C&D in January. Below form when eighth of 9 on handicap debut here (10.2f, 4/1) 22 days ago, but it remains early days for him with cheekpieces applied. Well held in handicap on back of C&D novice win but still early days; cheekpieces go on.
4 6th (4) (40/1 -100%) Sea Legend	40 40/1(-100%)	(4) Sea Legend 40/1, Sole success at this course on last year's return when trained by James Fanshawe. Has been hurdling for current yard, racing closer to pace than ideal when ninth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Catterick (15.7f, good) 17 days ago. Hood back on. 1m2f course winenr but only modest form over hurdles for this yard recently.
5 7th (5) (80/1 -264%) Wind Your Neck In	80 80/1(-264%)	(5) Wind Your Neck In 80/1, Ran well when second at Chester last summer. Not discredited when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (16f, soft, 10/1) in October, but has to prove himself on all-weather as he makes first start since leaving David Evans. Mud lover who was well held on both AW starts during time with David Evans; best watched.

15:55 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GAASSEE went desperately close over 1m3f at Kempton last month and, returned to further off an unchanged mark, he looks to hold every chance of going one place better. His closest pursuer could be the unexposed Plage De Havre, who finished first past the post at Southwell before later being disqualified for interference, although Knockbrex remains in good heart and should not be underestimated.

After a ready success at Lingfield in January, KNOCKBREX had excuses when unable to land the odds at the same course 6 days later, so he is taken to bounce back to winning ways with the return to this longer trip to suit. Plage de Havre has been progressing well with racing and is feared most, with Gaassee also considered.

Andrew Balding's PLAGE DE HAVRE (nap) is going the right way and can gain compensation for losing in the stewards' room last time.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (10/1 +0%) Hot Rod Lincoln	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Hot Rod Lincoln 10/1, A fair winning hurdler for Harry Fry but yet to hit top form for his new yard, a well-held fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, soft) 13 days ago. More is required back over fences. Lost his form for Harry Fry and beaten about 20l when fourth in his two runs for new yard.
8 2nd (8) (11/1 -38%) Dunworley	11 11/1(-38%)	(8) Dunworley 11/1, Remains winless but he wasn't disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces go on now and he needs considering off a 3 lb lower mark. Well held for minor honours on last three outings; tongue-tie and cheekpieces go on.
1 3rd (1) (7/1 +56%) Lyrical Genius	7 7/1(+56%)	(1) Lyrical Genius 7/1, Seventeen runs since his last win in 2021 and he came in a below-form fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Unreliable type. A lesser show last month made it 0-14 over fences; no win since a novice hurdle in 2021.
7 4th (7) (9/2 +18%) Ronnies Reflection	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(7) Ronnies Reflection 9/2, Little show over hurdles but he got off the mark in 6-runner handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, soft) 42 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's still not taken lightly. Leicester win (extended 2m6f, soft) last time but it's not all been plain sailing.
2 5th (2) (4/1 -14%) Mister Barclay	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Mister Barclay 4/1, Resumed from 8 months off with a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Exeter (23.1f, heavy) 26 days ago. Switches to fences and this likeable type is well in the mix. Ran well almost every time in handicap hurdles and 2nd over C&D last May in his only chase.
3 6th (3) (5/1 -25%) Hobb's Delight	5 5/1(-25%)	(3) Hobb's Delight 5/1, Winless this term but he's knocking on the door, cheekpieces on for the first time when second of 11 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good) 17 days ago. Player once more with that form working out well. Two 2nds this term require respect but worse than good to soft ground would be a worry.
5 \|PU\| (5) (9/1 -100%) Danny The Fence	9 9/1(-100%)	(5) Danny The Fence 9/1, It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2023 but he turned in a very good fourth of 19 in handicap chase (18/1) at Fairyhouse (26f, soft) 14 days ago. Must enter calculations with the blinkers sported there again fitted. Back to some form in 4th of 19 for handicap chase at Fairyhouse (3m2f, soft) two weeks ago.
4 \|PU\| (4) (11/1 -83%) Elle Est Beau	11 11/1(-83%)	(4) Elle Est Beau 11/1, A fair maiden hurdler who comes here on the back of a solid fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Much respected on her chase debut stepping back up in trip. Stamina to prove after one attempt at 3m and improvement is needed on this chase debut.
9 \|PU\| (9) (12/1 +64%) Elfride	12 12/1(+64%)	(9) Elfride 12/1, On a losing run and she came in a below-form fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 66 days ago. Makes her belated chase debut now with a bit to prove. Struggled lately; career best is probably needed on chase debut from 2lb out of handicap.

15:58 Uttoxeter Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

A promising second despite not jumping well on his chase debut over C&D last May, MISTER BARCLAY returned with a highly creditable effort over the smaller obstacles at Exeter last month. That should have put him spot on for this, and the seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of Ronnies Reflection, who got off the mark with a taking success over shorter at Leicester over Christmas. Only worn down late on at Catterick last time out and raised 2lb, Hobb's Delight must enter calculations as well.

This is wide open but HOBB'S DELIGHT is taken to gain a deserved first victory of the campaign with the form of his recent Catterick second having been franked. Mister Barclay rates a big threat though on the back of a promising reappearance Exeter second, while Ronnies Reflection, Dunworley and Elle Est Beau all command plenty of respect too.

Reliable as a hurdler and runner-up over C&D in his only chase, MISTER BARCLAY looks the one to turn to. Danny The Fence is next.

Not taken lightly back up in trip. Has made a satisfactory switch to chasing and this new trip might be within reach.
3 2nd (3) (9/4 +55%) Pic Roc	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(3) Pic Roc 9/4, Useful winning hurdler who posted a promising second of 6 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) 26 days ago. Open to more improvement now stepping up in trip. Considered. Went close in his second chase and has plenty more to offer; upped in trip and one to note.
8 3rd (8) (2/1 -7%) Herakles Westwood	2 2/1(-7%)	(8) Herakles Westwood 2/1, Has taken really well to fences, scoring over C&D in December and in 6-runner handicap at Windsor (24.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Has to be taken seriously despite a 5 lb rise. Justified favouritism over C&D and at Windsor (3m, soft); up another 5lb but lots to like.
1 4th (1) (11/2 +15%) Saint Davy	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(1) Saint Davy 11/2, Made a promising start in this sphere when third at Sandown but held in third when fell 3 out in Towton Novices' Chase at Ffos Las (19.4f, heavy) 28 days ago. Worth another chance now going into handicaps. Heavy fall latest; better over this sort of trip and looked promising going into that race.
6 \|PU\| (6) (7/1 +22%) Toss Of A Coin	7 7/1(+22%)	(6) Toss Of A Coin 7/1, Lightly-raced hurdles winner but he failed to build on his chasing debut Uttoxeter second when pulled up in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, soft) 51 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for first time and he's not one to be writing off. Close 2nd on chase debut (3m, soft); flopped next time and now sports headgear first time.
4 \|PU\| (4) (20/1 +20%) Emailandy	20 20/1(+20%)	(4) Emailandy 20/1, Lost lots of ground at the start when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kempton (21f, good to soft) 44 days ago. This useful winning hurdler is no forlorn hope now going chasing. Tailed off trying 3m on reappearance and whipped round at the start next time; chase debut.

16:10 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

HERAKLES WESTWOOD jumped well throughout when he registered a comfortable win over C&D in December and readily shrugged off a 7lb higher mark with another cosy success at Windsor last month. A further 5lb rise might not be enough to stop Warren Greatrex's progressive eight-year-old from completing a hat-trick on just his fourth start over fences. Toss Of A Coin, whose yard has won three of the last four renewals, is a potential improver with cheekpieces added. Lord Of Thunder and Pic Roc complete the shortlist.

None of these can be ruled out but HERAKLES WESTWOOD still looks ahead of his mark despite going up 5 lb for his recent Windsor victory so gets the vote. Towton Chase runner-up Lord of Thunder heads the list of dangers, with Pic Roc and Toss of A Coin both with the potential to make a mark too.

The two who stand out are the promising Pic Roc and hat-trick seeking HERAKLES WESTWOOD (nap). The latter has proved his stamina.

16:15 Naas Conditions Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An interesting clash between the two Willie Mullins representatives and slight preference is for DINOBLUE over this trip. Dinoblue has been mixing in higher grades and a stalking race could reap dividends. She won a Grade 3 chase on her last visit to this track in November 2023. Allegorie De Vassy has plenty to recommend her as she landed this contest last year and was very good off the front in a Grade 3 mares' chase at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. She has been mostly campaigned over further, though, and could potentially set the race up for Dinoblue. Must Be Obeyed has plenty to find at the weights and looks very much third choice.

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY impressed when going in at Fairyhouse last time and can prove too strong for stablemate Dinoblue in this Listed chase. Must Be Obeyed looks booked for third.

Last year's winner ALLEGORIE DE VASSY gets the vote to follow up a commanding victory at Fairyhouse

13 1st (13) (11/10 +63%) Strong Run	1.1 11/10(+63%)	(13) Strong Run 11/10, Sister to useful bumper winner/very smart hurdler Strong Leader. Promising second on debut at Uttoxeter in October and built on that when third of 12 in a Cheltenham listed race the following month. Bold show anticipated. Third in Listed mares' bumper at Cheltenham and leading claims now back down in grade.
1 2nd (1) (12/1 -20%) Highland Haven	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) Highland Haven 12/1, Kayf Tara filly who was easy to back but barely came off the bridle when making a winning start in 12-runner bumper at Ffos Las in November. Backward step on bad ground in a listed event at Huntingdon next time and now needs to get back on track. Yard also saddles Strong Run. Won on debut at Ffos Las; soundly beaten sixth in Listed event but could bounce back.
11 3rd (11) (9/2 -13%) Roses All The Way	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(11) Roses All The Way 9/2, Second on sole start between the flags and also runner-up both starts in this sphere to date, latterly taking a sizeable step forward from her Rules debut in a listed event at Huntingdon. Solid claims. Listed runner-up at Huntingdon last time and strong contender on that form.
10 4th (10) (8/1 0%) Rene's Walk	8 8/1(0%)	(10) Rene's Walk 8/1, Out of a 2½m-3m hurdle/chase winner and shaped as though she'd be better for the run when fourth of 11 on debut at Wetherby in November. Likely to do better in time but, like her dam, she may turn out to be a late-maturing type. Only fourth at Wetherby on debut but open to improvement for leading stable.
2 5th (2) (22/1 -57%) Madame La Papillon	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Madame La Papillon 22/1, Out of a 2m-2¼m winner on the Flat and belied odds of 28/1 when making a winning debut at Huntingdon last spring. That form doesn't look particularly strong, for all that race has produced a couple of subsequent winners, and she looks vulnerable under a penalty. Won on debut at Huntingdon last March; it was a modest race but she's open to improvement.
12 6th (12) (16/1 -14%) Sharp Glance	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Sharp Glance 16/1, Passing Glance filly who produced a promising first effort when under 3 lengths fifth of 11 at Ludlow in December. Place possibilities here if able to build on that. Close fifth on debut at Ludlow and a stronger gallop could help today; not ruled out.
4 7th (4) (25/1 +24%) Dancing Sky	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Dancing Sky 25/1, Off the mark at the third time of asking in maiden points last February. The market should be revealing ahead of this Rules debut. Changed hands for £22,000 after point win; yard 3-17 (18%) in bumpers in past five seasons.
9 8th (9) (22/1 -38%) Ourbrowneyedgirl	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Ourbrowneyedgirl 22/1, Down the field on debut in October but showed more spark when finding just one too good in a 12-runner Exeter bumper next time. Still, she's likely to find a few too good here. 80-1 second at Exeter on second start but further improvement is needed today.
6 9th (6) (40/1 -21%) Gone Girl	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Gone Girl 40/1, €6,000 3-y-o. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Size Five, and half-sister to 2 winners, including modest hurdler Whoa Black Betty. Entitled to come on for the run. 6,000euros 3yo; sibling to winners but probably best watched on debut.
7 10th (7) (16/1 +20%) Kill The Groove	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Kill The Groove 16/1, Third on point debut last April but didn't get very far when returning to action in December (unseating rider at the second fence). Has joined a respected yard ahead of this Rules debut and she's one to note in the betting. Third in point-to-point bumper; has joined a good yard for her rules career; check betting.
8 11th (8) (16/1 -33%) Miss Denver	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Miss Denver 16/1, Half-sister to 4 winners, including bumper winner/smart hurdler Polly Peachum and fairly useful chaser Some Man. Yard no stranger to success with newcomers, including in bumpers, and she will be of interest if the market speaks in her favour. Half-sister to four winners and no surprise to see a good run on debut.
3 12th (3) (150/1 -127%) Blacksambelle	150 150/1(-127%)	(3) Blacksambelle 150/1, Safely held on her introduction at Uttoxeter last April and she will need to leave that well behind in order to make an impact here. Well beaten when 25-1 at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last April on her sole start.
5 13th (5) (11/1 -120%) Doctor Mina	11 11/1(-120%)	(5) Doctor Mina 11/1, Fetched £105,000 as a 3-y-o and she's a half-sister to 2 winners, including French hurdler Libeccio, and closely related to smart hurdler/useful chaser Quel Destin. Very much of interest on debut for her powerful yard. Wears tongue strap. Closely related to connections' smart jumper Quel Destin; could play leading role on debut.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

STRONG RUN has made a promising start to her career, placing on both starts to date, and, now eased in grade, this sister to the smart Strong Leader gets the vote to gain a breakthrough victory. Runner-up behind a potentially useful sort last time out, Roses All The Way could emerge as the main danger to the selection as she bids to go one place better. Rene's Walk also commands respect for her top trainer/jockey combination.

ROSES ALL THE WAY and Strong Run both performed with credit in listed company last time and they could be the pair to concentrate on. Marginal preference is for the former, who pulled nicely clear of the rest when chasing home Supreme Malinas at Huntingdon. Newcomer Doctor Mina is a likely-looking type and it will be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting,

The attractively bred STRONG RUN was a good third in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham last time and is taken to get off the mark.

7 2nd (7) (12/1 -118%) Humble Spark	12 12/1(-118%)	(7) Humble Spark 12/1, Recorded fourth course success when scoring here (12.5f) in January. Good ½-length second of 9 to Charlie's Choice in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 9 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not taken lightly. Four wins here, but is off a career-high mark so more is needed; often misses the break.
3 3rd (3) (3/1 +33%) Yokohama	3 3/1(+33%)	(3) Yokohama 3/1, Sole success at this course (7.1f) on debut. Back on track on final 2 starts last year, good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 4/1) 50 days ago, Can give another good account. 0-8 since his winning debut but a good third at Wolverhampton last time; could play a part.
1 4th (1) (11/8 +61%) Asgard's Captain	1.375 11/8(+61%)	(1) Asgard's Captain 11/8, Won 3 times at this C&D last year, with latest success in December. Soon left behind a lesser effort when third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 9/1) 22 days ago and he's a major player back here. Record over C&D reads 2111; latest effort boosted and very much of interest back here.
5 5th (5) (28/1 -27%) Westernesse	28 28/1(-27%)	(5) Westernesse 28/1, Without a win last year but placed twice from 5 starts. In first-time visor, run best excused when last of 10 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good, 7/2) in June, stumbling badly after 2f. Back up in trip after 8 months off. 1-17; off 250 days since running poorly at Ayr last June; watch market.
4 6th (4) (5/1 -43%) Charlie's Choice	5 5/1(-43%)	(4) Charlie's Choice 5/1, Afer just 6 days off, proved as good as ever when winning 9-runner handicap (9/4) at Southwell (12.1f) 9 days ago by ½ length from Humble Spark, asserting close home. Respected in his current form. Two wins over 1m3f/1m4f at Southwell this winter; will need a good pace over this trip.
6 7th (6) (18/1 +18%) Beatrice Shilling	18 18/1(+18%)	(6) Beatrice Shilling 18/1, Remains a maiden and form went the wrong way on final 2 outings last year, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/1) in October. Off 3 months ahead of first start since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam. Twice runner-up on turf for Peter Chapple-Hyam; worth a market check on stable debut.

16:28 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Humble Spark (second) is 1lb better off with his recent conqueror Charlie's Choice, but the latter was arguably worth more than the winning margin that day and he is expected to confirm that form. That said, preference is for ASGARD'S CAPTAIN. Dylan Cunha's gelding hasn't quite seen out 1m3f and 1m4f recently, but the five-year-old, who was a winner over this C&D off just 2lb lower in December, may well fare better now dropped in trip.

A 5-time winner last year, ASGARD'S CAPTAIN wasted no time getting back to form when third at Southwell on his latest outing and he is taken to add to his tally returned to this C&D. He can see off the challenge of Humble Spark, who also boasts a good record here and shaped well at Southwell last time, while Charlie's Choice could be in the mix once more.

The choice is ASGARD'S CAPTAIN who looks a solid option on his return to this C&D, over which his record reads 2111.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (17/2 +53%) Tarbuck	8.5 17/2(+53%)	(3) Tarbuck 17/2, Fair in bumpers but yet to feature over hurdles. Handicaps more suitable, at least. Some positives in his qualifying runs and a likely improver now handicapping.
6 2nd (6) (10/3 -21%) Red Cadillac	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(6) Red Cadillac 10/3, Made the frame on both bumper outings last season. Modest form in maiden hurdles but well backed switched to a handicap and shaped well when third at Ayr 3 weeks ago. Major claims. Sent off fav for handicap debut and showed enough to believe he can win off this mark.
4 3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Uokhun	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Uokhun 7/1, Third 3 times on the bounce over 2m in November/ December. Sound-enough efforts despite improving for step up in trip in recent starts and her merit looks pretty well established. Has run well in two of her three handicaps and the exception was a warm Class 3.
8 4th (8) (3/1 +79%) Churchman	3 3/1(+79%)	(8) Churchman 3/1, Maiden who didn't show much on return to action at Taunton 3 weeks ago. May have needed that but will need to step up markedly to figure. More exposed than some and didn't run that well at Taunton when returning from a break.
10 5th (10) (100/1 -52%) Leading The Way	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Leading The Way 100/1, Long-standing maiden who remains easy to oppose from out of the weights. Has offered little over hurdles or fences since arriving from Ireland.
9 6th (9) (12/1 +64%) Kalabana	12 12/1(+64%)	(9) Kalabana 12/1, Placed sole outing in points but no promise as yet over hurdles. Failed to raise his profile when tailed off on his handicap debut here recently (66-1).
2 7th (2) (3/1 -33%) Mon Kaplais	3 3/1(-33%)	(2) Mon Kaplais 3/1, Merely hinted at ability in his qualifying runs but he's in excellent hands so a much-improved showing now handicapping may well be on the cards. Tongue tie on and market check essential. Just minor promise thus far but should be a different proposition now handicapping.
7 \|PU\| (7) (8/1 -45%) Deep Strato	8 8/1(-45%)	(7) Deep Strato 8/1, Point winner and has shown a bit of potential in a light career under Rules, including when fourth on his 19f Carlisle handicap hurdle debut /reappearance in December. One to be very positive about. Showed more on handicap debut at Carlisle when under 10l off the winner.
1 \|PU\| (1) (66/1 -313%) Mayday Games	66 66/1(-313%)	(1) Mayday Games 66/1, Little in the way of solid form when trained in Ireland by Paul John Gilligan. Others more persuasive on stable debut. Lightly raced ex-Irish gelding who wasn't progressing when last seen.

16:33 Uttoxeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

The Dan Skelton stable has an excellent record here, and MON KAPLAIS looks just the type to improve for going up in trip on his handicap debut. Tristan Durrell's 3lb claim is another plus, and it may be Red Cadillac that gives him the most to think about following a creditable placed effort at Ayr last month. El Fabienne has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of her penultimate second here over further.

RED CADILLAC shaped well held up in a steadily-run race on handicap debut at Ayr 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, this mark looks within his range. Deep Strato and Mon Kaplais have bigger performances in them so head the opposition.

Preference is for RED CADILLAC who had a wide trip throughout when failing favourite backers in his first handicap.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (10/3 -33%) Urban Road	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(5) Urban Road 10/3, Resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 7/4) 7 days ago, despite missing break. Expected to be bang there once again. Won over 1m2f under Simon Walker at Newcastle last Sat but same rider on Yeoman now.
3 2nd (3) (33/1 +0%) Show Biz Kid	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Show Biz Kid 33/1, 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 41 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on for 1st time. Maiden who was well held in 1m Southwell handicap latest; blinkered first time.
4 3rd (4) (3/1 +0%) Yeoman	3 3/1(+0%)	(4) Yeoman 3/1, 3-time C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 7/2) 11 days ago. Visor on for 1st time. Not taken lightly. Solid Wolverhampton record and Simon Walker rides; reasons to be positive with visor added.
6 4th (6) (7/2 +42%) Calanthe	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(6) Calanthe 7/2, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, having run of race. Blinkers on for 1st time. Too keen when fourth over C&D latest; new headgear; remains 2lb above his winning mark.
2 5th (2) (7/1 +22%) Charencey	7 7/1(+22%)	(2) Charencey 7/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Not one to write off. Back on a good mark but recent AW efforts no more than respectable.
7 6th (7) (16/1 +0%) Outsmart	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Outsmart 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 9/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm). Off 17 months. Not seen since running poorly in August 2023; can only be watched.
8 7th (8) (10/1 +50%) Poetic Force	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) Poetic Force 10/1, 5-time C&D winner. Last of 4 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 30 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Back up in trip. On losing of 20 run but has a decent course record, including runner-up twice in late 2024.
10 8th (10) (18/1 -13%) Diffident Spirit	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) Diffident Spirit 18/1, Latest win at Nottingham in November but was below form back up in trip when eighth of 13 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 58 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Turf win in November but held here and at Chelmsford since, taking AW record to 0-12.
1 9th (1) (7/1 -27%) Dakota Power	7 7/1(-27%)	(1) Dakota Power 7/1, Course winner who wasted no time getting back on the up when second of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft). Off 99 days but still needs considering. Former course scorer who was in good form on turf when last seen in November; respected.
9 10th (9) (200/1 -100%) Silk Bird	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Silk Bird 200/1, Again showed little when last of 7 in handicap (200/1) at this course (9.5f) 32 days ago. Tailed off here on both starts since returning from long absence.

16:40 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over further at Newcastle last Saturday, URBAN ROAD showed enough pace on that occasion to suggest that he can follow up for an eighth career success dropping a furlong. Placed on three of his last four starts, Yeoman is expected to be thereabouts, as well as the returning Dakota Power, who wasn't beaten far when last in action at Newmarket in November.

URBAN ROAD has held his form notably well this winter and, having resumed winning ways with a bit up his sleeve at Newcastle last week, he's the percentage call to follow up. Yeoman and Charencey head up the opposition.

Simon Walker deserts Urban Road in favour of course-specialist YEOMAN, who can resume winning ways in a first-time visor.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (15/8 +58%) Sober Glory	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(7) Sober Glory 15/8, £110,000 4-y-o, dam, unraced, closely related to very smart hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Fingal Bay. Won sole start in Irish points in May and maintained unbeaten record in bumpers to end 2024, supplementing his Chepstow win in ready fashion under a penalty at Exeter. Sets the standard. Has delivered useful RPRs in winning his two bumpers; strong contender.
6 2nd (6) (7/1 +18%) Realco	7 7/1(+18%)	(6) Realco 7/1, £80,000 buy after a storming success in Uttoxeter bumper for Tom Weston in April and he defied a penalty on stable debut/reappearance at Exeter 4 weeks ago. Displayed taking turn of foot in the process and that puts him right there. Defied an absence and a penalty on stable debut at Exeter; going the right way.
2 3rd (2) (15/2 -7%) Baron Noir	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Baron Noir 15/2, Took a backward step from debut when 38 lengths eighth of 10 to Shuttle Diplomacy in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, heavy). Off 8 months and having moved to Alan King, he landed a few bets when winning 8-runner content at Plumpton in December. The form of his Plumpton win has worked out well; should have a bright future.
1 4th (1) (6/1 -50%) Act Of Innocence	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Act Of Innocence 6/1, My Dream Boat gelding who was friendless in the betting but produced a promising first effort when third of 25 in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f) back in the spring. Has since made a very interesting yard switch so he's one to take seriously. Third in a valuable Punchestown bumper and open to lots of improvement for Paul Nicholls.
3 5th (3) (33/1 +0%) Colin Hobbs	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Colin Hobbs 33/1, First foal, dam (h150) 19f-3m hurdle winner. Won sole start in point bumpers but also pulled up in point in 2024. No easy task on debut. Winning pointer; presumably held in some regard to be making rules debut in this race.
8 6th (8) (22/1 +33%) Swindon Village	22 22/1(+33%)	(8) Swindon Village 22/1, Cost plenty following success only start in points and also landed a Ffos Las bumper in November, despite failing to settle. Surpassed that form when third under a penalty at Aintree. First and third in two bumpers but has to raise his game to threaten the best of these.
11 7th (11) (6/1 +14%) Precious Metal	6 6/1(+14%)	(11) Precious Metal 6/1, Runner-up on debut at Wincanton and derived plenty from that as he went one place better in a listed contest at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Gets weight allowance so isn't taken lightly. It didn't look that strong a Listed race he won at Cheltenham; older opposition here.
9 8th (9) (25/1 +24%) West Hill Verde	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) West Hill Verde 25/1, €45,000 3-y-o, Planteur gelding. Half-brother to 10.5f-1½m winner in France Frame. Dam placed at 9f/1¼m in France. Bred for the Flat and having failed to settle fully, he showed a lot to work on when second on debut a year off. Off 10 months and found out in better company at Ascot. Never threatened when 50-1 for a Listed bumper at Ascot in December.
4 9th (4) (22/1 -57%) Great Fleet	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Great Fleet 22/1, €30,000 3-y-o, £60,000 4-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam (c111/h110), 17f-3m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 23f) Boreham Bill. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points in May and went one better despite signs of greenness switched to a bumper at Market Rasen. Open to improvement. Beaten by Sober Glory in an Irish point; Market Rasen form doesn't look good enough.
10 10th (10) (7/1 0%) Kernie D'airy	7 7/1(0%)	(10) Kernie D'airy 7/1, Half-sister to 1½m French bumper winner Furda d'Airy. Dam, French chaser, half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Argolas d'Airy. Won 12-runner maiden bumper at Durtal in November by 9½ lengths from Kelijoe (successful next time). Left Hugo Merienne £155,000 later that month. Bought for £155,000 after running away with her sole bumper start in France.
5 11th (5) (14/1 -17%) Maldini Milano	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Maldini Milano 14/1, €80,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Dam (h134), 2½m-3m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (winner up to 3m) Marinero. Overcame inexperience to land the odds in what was a very thin 3-runer race at Exeter in November. This will reveal more. Long odds-on when easily winning a very weak bumper at Exeter; yard runs two.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

MALDINI MILANO overcame greenness to coast home by 14 lengths in a three-runner bumper at Exeter last November. That was a captivating display and the son of Milan, who cost 80,000 euros as yearling, could be worth chancing, even though Harry Cobden prefers his stablemate Act Of Innocence. The latter showed promise in a Punchestown bumper last April and merits respect on debut for Paul Nicholls. Point-to-point winner Sober Glory, who supplemented his Chepstow Rules debut success by winning at Exeter in December, also appeals bidding to maintain his unbeaten status.

A good-quality contest with any number to consider. Top of the list is SOBER GLORY, who has passed each of his 3 tests so far and there looks to be plenty of substance to his form. Realco displayed a nice turn of foot when successful at Exeter and may have ever more to offer for Dan Skelton, while French-recruit Kernie d'Airy saw off a subsequent winner when last seen.

A chance is taken on the mare KERNIE D'AIRY who fetched £155,000 after impressing in her French start. Baron Noir is next best.

9 1st (9) (6/1 +57%) Ryehill	6 6/1(+57%)	(9) Ryehill 6/1, Winner in chase at Cork in April. 29¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Its On The Line in hunter chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft, 22/1) in May. Second to useful Angels Dawn in point on recent comeback. One to note. Made a pleasing return when second at Dromahane, plenty to find with Its On The Line.
8 2nd (8) (12/1 -9%) Ontheropes	12 12/1(-9%)	(8) Ontheropes 12/1, Smart handicap chaser at best, won a point 20 days ago. Could be vulnerable on first crack in a hunter. Fifth in last year's Scottish National, made a winning start for this team last month.
5 3rd (5) (4/7 +100%) Its On The Line	0.571429 4/7(+100%)	(5) Its On The Line 4/7, Dual winner of the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown. 10/11, respectable 4¾ lengths second of 12 to Big Interest at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 44 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Successful in this race last year, and remains the one to beat in this sphere. Star performer last term, should be sharper than when beaten by Big Interest on return.
4 4th (4) (3/1 -50%) Big Interest	3 3/1(-50%)	(4) Big Interest 3/1, £60,000 point winner who created a very good impression on chasing debut when taking 12-runner hunter at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 6/1) 44 days ago by 4¾ lengths from Its On The Line, comfortably. Sure to progress. Emerged as a new force in this category when beating Its On The Line at Down Royal.
3 5th (3) (250/1 -150%) Balkito	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Balkito 250/1, One-time fairly useful chaser. Left G. Ahern, little encouragement so far this term (including over hurdles/in points). Out of form in a busy spell during the autumn points campaign, in rear twice last month.
1 6th (1) (40/1 -82%) Annamix	40 40/1(-82%)	(1) Annamix 40/1, Not the most reliable jumper but scored at Gowran prior to an excellent third in the Foxhunters' at Aintree last term. Just third at Stratford when last seen and has left Willie Mullins. Veteran who probably needs some to misfire to take this. Third to Its On The Line in last season's Aintree Foxhunters', new yard this season.
7 7th (7) (12/1 +33%) Lonesome Boatman	12 12/1(+33%)	(7) Lonesome Boatman 12/1, Useful chaser. 5/2, running below form when fell heavily in hunter chase at Clonmel (20f, soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Enjoyed a fine pointing campaign last term, let down by his jumping at Clonmel last month.
2 8th (2) (66/1 -164%) Arverne	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Arverne 66/1, Fair chaser. Very good third of 6 in hunter chase at Thurles (25.1f, good, 7/1) 20 days ago. This is much tougher. Needs to jump better than when third to Willitgoahead at Thurles last month.
6 \|PU\| (6) (66/1 -32%) King Alex	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) King Alex 66/1, Fairly useful chaser and winning pointer, third last 2 starts (latest Jan 12). Work to do here. Novice chase winner at Limerick in 2021, faces a stiff task in this company, 1-8 in points.

16:50 Naas Conditions Chase 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ITS ON THE LINE could overturn Down Royal form with Big Interest on this slower ground. Its On The Line was beaten almost five lengths into second by Big Interest on better ground in the north, but is entitled to come on from that run which was his first for almost eight months. Last season, he won this race in addition to prestigious hunters' chases in Aintree and Punchestown. Big Interest is the younger pretender who is in good hands with Davy Christie, a renowned specialist in this discipline. There ought to be plenty more to come from him as he is very much unexposed. Arverne could get involved at a price and similar sentiments apply to Annamix.

A couple of the main fancies for the Cheltenham hunter do battle and ITS ON THE LINE can gain revenge on Big Interest from their Down Royal meeting. David Christie's charge is very promising and won't go down easily, while Ryehill has solid place claims.

A rematch of a Down Royal clash at Christmas can see ITS ON THE LINE (nap) confirm his credentials as the leading Irish hunter chaser

Expected to be bang there assuming there's a pace to aim at. Just prevailed in blanket finish over 6f here last week; better than this grade but quirky.
8 2nd (8) (7/1 +22%) Lezardrieux	7 7/1(+22%)	(8) Lezardrieux 7/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Last of 7 in minor event at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 4/1). Off 6 months. Back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Not the force of old but handicapped accordingly; has gone well fresh; betting to guide.
11 3rd (11) (7/1 +22%) Stallone	7 7/1(+22%)	(11) Stallone 7/1, Modest gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Not taken lightly. Found wanting for pace on last three starts; one who would benefit from them going hard.
4 4th (4) (8/1 +11%) Glory Call	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Glory Call 8/1, Poor gelding. Fitted with cheekpieces again and more like it when fourth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 22/1) 14 days ago. Ran okay in a 6f classified event at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; drop in trip may help.
7 5th (7) (33/1 +18%) Kipp Kelly	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) Kipp Kelly 33/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 125/1) 33 days ago. No impact in handicaps having started off with an unrealistic mark; may fare better today.
6 6th (6) (28/1 +0%) John Kirkup	28 28/1(+0%)	(6) John Kirkup 28/1, Modest gelding. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, never involved from off the pace. Blinkers off. Fair effort at this level last month but couldn't back it up in a handicap last week.
2 7th (2) (6/1 +40%) Ballyare	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Ballyare 6/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago. Powers are on the wane and he'll need a pace collapse to win over 5f.
5 8th (5) (8/1 -14%) Henery Hawk	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Henery Hawk 8/1, Modest gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2024. 10/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, never nearer. Conditions to suit and should be making a big impact at this level; yard also run Pockley.
3 9th (3) (40/1 +50%) Birdie Bowers	40 40/1(+50%)	(3) Birdie Bowers 40/1, Two wins from 42 Flat runs. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 12 in minor event (33/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Needs to leave his last three runs well behind him; yard also run John Kirkup.
1 10th (1) (50/1 -25%) Angel Of Mather's	50 50/1(-25%)	(1) Angel Of Mather's 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in minor event at Southwell (6.1f, 125/1) 36 days ago. Poor form in four starts; drop in trip can help but far from a solid option.
10 11th (10) (16/1 +11%) Rockley Point	16 16/1(+11%)	(10) Rockley Point 16/1, Modest gelding. 4-time course winner. Thirty five runs since last win in 2023. 22/1, good ½-length fourth of 10 to Pockley in handicap at this course (6f) 7 days ago. His last two runs have shown a fire still burns; still needs more to win though.
12 12th (12) (10/1 +44%) Willow Baby	10 10/1(+44%)	(12) Willow Baby 10/1, Modest mare. Tenth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (6.1f), though that run easy to excuse from a poor draw. Off 174 days. 0-14; dips into classified company for the first time but she's been off since August.

17:00 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A low draw would have to be of some concern for recent course winner Pockley and the vote goes to HENERY HAWK. Linda Perratt's gelding was a touch unfortunate in a similar C&D event last month before failing to fire in a handicap last time. He's weighted to go well back in classified company and a high draw can only be viewed as a positive. Stallone might not be far away either.

POCKLEY will need a good pace to aim at back over 5f but he's fit and in form, which will count for plenty at this level. Lezardrieux is back over a more suitable trip so he commands respect, along with Glory Call.

Don't ignore Lezardrieux after an absence but POCKLEY is a talented sprinter for the grade and he can follow up last week's 6f win.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (7/1 +30%) Almaty Star	7 7/1(+30%)	(6) Almaty Star 7/1, Latest win at Goodwood in September. 7/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago. Entitled to have a say in the finish. Near miss at Southwell three weeks ago; others in this field look better treated.
4 2nd (4) (11/2 +21%) Hiya Maite	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(4) Hiya Maite 11/2, 9/2, creditable 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Master of My Fate in handicap at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago. Tongue strap back on and he's not without hope. Fast front-runner; may defy this mark at some point but he's of more interest at Southwell.
11 3rd (11) (7/1 +42%) Dark Kestrel	7 7/1(+42%)	(11) Dark Kestrel 7/1, C&D winner. 3/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 4 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Hold-up sprinter; several good runs this winter but others stronger in this field.
8 4th (8) (4/1 +0%) Existent	4 4/1(+0%)	(8) Existent 4/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Thirty-four runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (10/11) at Southwell (5f) 22 days ago. Live each-way claims. Expensive to follow on AW this winter but he holds place claims once again.
7 5th (7) (13/2 +46%) Airman	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(7) Airman 13/2, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 15/2) 25 days ago. More needed in a first-time hood here. Hood added now back at 5f and this could set up nicely; one to be interested in.
9 6th (9) (18/1 -80%) One Night Stand	18 18/1(-80%)	(9) One Night Stand 18/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win here in November. 10/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 6 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Handicapped to go well but he's one of a number of pace influences in the field.
2 7th (2) (6/1 +14%) We Never Stop	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) We Never Stop 6/1, Latest win at Southwell in November. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 13/2) 22 days ago. Looks vulnerable. More consistent since a gelding op last summer; worth another crack at 5f; contender.
3 8th (3) (3/1 0%) Michaela's Boy	3 3/1(0%)	(3) Michaela's Boy 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in January. Third of 5 in handicap at this C&D (9/4) 14 days ago. Shouldn't be too far away. Comes here in top form; has front-run but he doesn't have to lead; respected.
10 9th (10) (28/1 -133%) Night On Earth	28 28/1(-133%)	(10) Night On Earth 28/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 23 runs last year. Bit below form third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 10/3) 6 days ago, running on. Another who makes some each-way appeal. On a winning mark but happiest when leading and that's not assured in this field.

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

Michaela's Boy failed to complete the hat-trick by just half a length when finishing third in a stronger event over C&D last month and he holds every chance off an unchanged rating. However, the vote goes to EXISTENT, who finished a one-length third behind Michaela's Boy at Lingfield two starts ago, but he is 4lb better off this time around. With a previous C&D victory further aiding his cause, he looks the way to go. We Never Stop is the pick remainder.

DARK KESTREL and Hiya Maite could again emerge as the main players, while Night On Earth is also worth a second look.

This should be fast and furious and AIRMAN could pick up the pieces. The frustrating Existent is best of the rest.

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

There was a lot to like about the way BLAST THE DREAM landed a 1m novice event with plenty in hand last month, form which has been boosted by the fourth scoring since, and an opening mark of 75 may not be enough to prevent Roger Varian's improving filly following up on her handicap debut. Bantz was doing his best work at the finish when scoring over 7f here last time, so should appreciate the step up in trip and a 2lb rise doesn't rule him out. Lady Mariko should also relish moving up to a mile now tried in a handicap for the first time.

The choice is GOLDEN THORN whose latest effort can be excused. She had previously finished second in a race that has worked out well.

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

Now that MEET ME IN MERAKI has regained the winning thread after seeing off the reopposing Tasmanian Legend (second) over C&D last month, the four-year-old might be able to kick on. The veteran Green Power scored over C&D last time out as well and should be thereabouts, along with Prince Ali, who has won on two of his last three starts here.

Lots with chances. TASMANIAN LEGEND signalled he is ready to strike again when a very good recent C&D second so looks the way to go off the same mark. Green Power is next on the list on the back of his C&D victory, with Cloud Free, Meet Me In Meraki, Prince Ali and Crafter all in the picture too.

Recent all-the-way winner Meet Me In Meraki can go well again but with a good pace likely CRAFTER gets a narrow vote.

18:00 Newcastle Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Placed in a valuable handicap at Epsom on Derby Day, Redhot Whisper is a leading player here, but he has disappointed in a couple of maidens since that promising effort in June and it could be pay to side with one of the interesting newcomers. Nordic Norm falls into that category for Karl Burke, but preference is for fellow debutant WARRANT HOLDER, a brother to 1m4f all-weather winner High Order who represents a powerful Gosden stable with a fine strke-rate at this venue in recent years.

WARRANT HOLDER rather leaps off the page given his pedigree and connections so a winning debut would come as no surprise. A breathing operation and drop back in trip may help Redhot Whisper finish his race off with a bit more purpose so he looks the obvious threat.

Preference is for WARRANT HOLDER who makes plenty of appeal on breeding and represents a stable with a fine record here.

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

THE WATCHER, a half-brother to a winner over this trip, impressed on debut over 6f at Newcastle in December and can supplement that success with this step up in distance noted as a logical move. Daring Flight should be wiser after his introduction when fourth over 7f at Kempton and rates the main danger. Political Power sets a fair standard on the ratings and is another to consider.

Karl Burke's THE WATCHER created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking at Newcastle and is fancied to make light of his 7 lb penalty. Political Power ran well for his new yard when runner-up at the same track last time out and is feared most ahead of Charlie Appleby's Daring Flight.

Karl Burke's THE WATCHER looked a good prospect on debut and he can defy his penalty over a trip that should suit well.

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

GUSTAV GRAVES was only beaten a head into second off this mark over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and the in-form seven-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Three Beauz also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Forest Gunner and Sugar Baby should not be discounted.

The gamble on FOREST GUNNER back from a long time off for his new yard at Wolverhampton was interesting, and having shown a lot more there the smartly-bred 4-y-o could do better still now handicapping at a low level. He gets the vote over Gustav Graves and Sugar Baby in a trappy event.

The choice is SUGAR BABY who is 6lb below his last winning mark and is 4-6 in completed Class 6 handicaps.

Latest win at Chepstow in August. 9/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good), clear of rest. Off 144 days but claims if fully tuned-up. Three wins last year, one of them here (8.6f); absent since September; needs career best.

18:45 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

OVERNIGHT OATS is effective on Tapeta and this three-time course winner is a most attractive option back at this venue. The booking of the capable Warren Fentiman, who claims 7lb, negates the 6lb rise imposed after a cosy success at Southwell last week and the top-weight is hard to ignore. Fellow last-time-out winners Autumn Rose and Plumette are obvious threats.

OVERNIGHT OATS notched his fifth success from 13 starts for the James Owen yard when scoring at Southwell recently and a 6 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Bint Havana Gold was beaten a length into third behind Autumn Rose over this C&D last weekend and, now 3 lb better off, she is taken to turn the tables on that rival this time. Romanovich completes the shortlist.

Autumn Rose and OVERNIGHT OATS (nap) come here in top form and the latter can gain his sixth win since November.

7 1st (7) (17/2 -21%) Rebecca's Girl	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(7) Rebecca's Girl 17/2, Course winner. Latest win here in December. 4/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 8 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers back on. In good form for current yard over 7f and a mile; drop in trip not sure to suit so well.
1 2nd (1) (9/4 +10%) Tomorrow Day	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(1) Tomorrow Day 9/4, 4-time C&D winner. 9/4, bit below form third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. This is easier and he's a big player. Building a fine record over C&D; doubt he's handicapped out of things just yet.
5 3rd (5) (16/1 -14%) Show Me Show Me	16 16/1(-14%)	(5) Show Me Show Me 16/1, Course winner. Latest win here in January. Fifth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (5f) 9 days ago, never nearer. Up in trip. 0-16 at the trip but he does seem to stay; course win last month (5f); not ruled out.
2 4th (2) (16/1 +43%) Piloto Pardo	16 16/1(+43%)	(2) Piloto Pardo 16/1, 12/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (5f) 25 days ago. Not shone for new yard but dropping down the weights; market check advised down to Class 6.
3 5th (3) (10/3 +39%) Bella Kopella	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(3) Bella Kopella 10/3, 4-time course winner. Short-head second of 9 to Captain Vallo in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 16 days ago, unlucky not to win, having her run checked at a crucial stage. Can gain her revenge. Unlucky in running at a vital stage when 2nd to Captain Vallo here latest; major player.
8 6th (8) (15/2 +32%) The Gay Blade	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(8) The Gay Blade 15/2, C&D winner. Four wins from 19 runs last year. 4/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago. Conditions to suit and he comes here on the back of a good 5f run here; shortlisted.
4 7th (4) (10/1 -33%) Captain Vallo	10 10/1(-33%)	(4) Captain Vallo 10/1, 4/1, didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D 16 days ago by short head from Bella Kopella. Can go well again. Two C&D wins this winter, narrowly pipping Bella Kopella here last month; e-w shout.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ORIENTAL PRINCE has won three of his last four starts, finishing second on the other occasion, and Jim Goldie's gelding is clearly the one to beat again here. That said, Captain Vallo just edged out Bella Kopella over C&D a couple of weeks ago and they both merit consideration, while Rebecca's Girl and Tomorrow Day are the pick of the remainder.

BELLA KOPELLA looked unlucky not to win here last time and can gain revenge over Captain Vallo. Tomorrow Day has thrived at this track in recent months and has to be feared back down in class.

A competitive race of its type in which BELLA KOPELLA can atone for last month's near miss. The Gay Blade is next best.

19:15 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 9f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (15/8 +58%) Quick Away	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(6) Quick Away 15/8, Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 10 in minor event (6/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 22 days ago. Solid each-way chance. 16-race maiden but last two runs have offered a bit of hope; Rossa Ryan a notable booking.
5 2nd (5) (17/2 +47%) Inexplicable	8.5 17/2(+47%)	(5) Inexplicable 17/2, Seven-time C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 25/1) 9 days ago. Back up in trip and others make more appeal on recent evidence. Not easily recommended on last month's efforts but this C&D brings out the best in him.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 +50%) Brinton	4 4/1(+50%)	(3) Brinton 4/1, Modest filly. 8/1, creditable 4 lengths third of 8 to Headshot in minor event at this C&D 11 days ago, never nearer. Place possibilities. Fewer convictions than most; blew the start when 3rd to Headshot here 11 days ago.
7 4th (7) (17/2 -21%) Scarfo	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(7) Scarfo 17/2, Modest gelding. Course winner. Creditable second of 8 in minor event at this C&D (11/1) 11 days ago, no match for winner. More will be needed in order to go one better in this contest. Plugged on for a remote second in a similar C&D event 11 days ago; each-way shout again.
4 5th (4) (40/1 -21%) Ciara Storm	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Ciara Storm 40/1, Poor mare. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Last of 9 in minor event at this course (9.5f, 28/1) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Regressive 16-race maiden; blinkers left off and a tongue tie now added.
1 6th (1) (85/40 +100%) Headshot	2.125 85/40(+100%)	(1) Headshot 85/40, 12/1, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner minor event at this C&D 11 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he has to be taken seriously. Beat a subsequent winner over C&D 11 days ago; return of headgear a plus; contender.
8 7th (8) (50/1 +24%) Speed Court	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Speed Court 50/1, Sixth of 8 in minor event (22/1) at this C&D 11 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Probably best to look elsewhere. Regressive for this yard and easy enough to swerve despite the new tongue-tie.
2 8th (2) (33/1 -175%) Brave Display	33 33/1(-175%)	(2) Brave Display 33/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 8 in minor event (28/1) at this C&D 11 days ago. Place possibilities. Conditions to suit; finished behind Scarfo over C&D 11 days ago; e-w shout.

19:15 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

HEADSHOT and Hollie Doyle worked in unison to land a similar event over C&D recently and they have a big chance of staging a repeat given the Tony Carroll-trained gelding is the obvious pick at the weights. Scarfo is unexposed over the trip and needs a betting check on just his third start for Bernard Llewellyn. Brave Display and Quick Away can also get involved.

Though not an obvious one to follow up given his strike rate, HEADSHOT nevertheless appeals most on the back of his recent C&D success. Quick Away shades preference ahead of Brinton for forecast purposes.

Headshot should go well again but BRINTON wasn't far behind him last time despite losing significant ground at the start.

19:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 9f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/1 +55%) Annalee Lass	5 5/1(+55%)	(2) Annalee Lass 5/1, Modest mare. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 10 in minor event (13/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 22 days ago. Vulnerable. Both wins at 1m and acts well over C&D; two good runs following absence; lesser run latest.
1 2nd (1) (10/11 -9%) Dash Power	0.909091 10/11(-9%)	(1) Dash Power 10/11, Modest gelding. One win from 22 Flat runs. Career best when winning 8-runner minor event (15/8) at this C&D 11 days ago, easily. Major player. Broke duck when clear winner of C&D classified last week; obvious chance.
4 3rd (4) (10/1 +50%) Blackstone Cliff	10 10/1(+50%)	(4) Blackstone Cliff 10/1, Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 14/1) 37 days ago. Others more persuasive. Promising yard debut; didn't run his race next time but not ruled out down at this level.
3 4th (3) (17/2 -13%) Aspire To Glory	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(3) Aspire To Glory 17/2, Modest gelding. Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 16 days ago. Not discounted Ran well on penultimate start; this trip as far as he wants but should play a part.
7 5th (7) (10/1 -100%) Van Zant	10 10/1(-100%)	(7) Van Zant 10/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 6/1) 9 days ago. Back up in trip and he merits consideration. Won Southwell classified in January; below best latest; chance on best C&D form.
8 6th (8) (5/1 +41%) Vecchio	5 5/1(+41%)	(8) Vecchio 5/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 10/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 40 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. Maiden; lost his way since promising 2yo runs; at least he's now eligible for this level.
5 7th (5) (80/1 +36%) Independent Beauty	80 80/1(+36%)	(5) Independent Beauty 80/1, Poor mare. Remains a maiden after 42 Flat runs. Seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 80/1). Off 131 days and opposable up in trip. In the frame many times, including over C&D; hard to fancy for win purposes after break.

19:45 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

This is another golden opportunity for DASH POWER, who broke his maiden in fine style over C&D recently. Strong market support was a clear indicator of his chance that day and despite having to concede weight all round here, he is very difficult to oppose. Van Zant didn't fire at Southwell nine days ago having won there on his penultimate outing but he remains of interest as he's kept to this level, while Aspire To Glory completes the shortlist.

It was a deserved (as well as belated) first success for DASH POWER in a C&D minor event recently and he is take to strike again. Van Zant was too free and ultimately failed to fire at Southwell last time but he could have a part to play if more relaxed this time, while Aspire To Glory is also in with a shout.

Ready preference is for DASH POWER who has improved for the step up to 1m and was off the mark in no uncertain terms over C&D last week.

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (18/1 -29%) Trojan Storm	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Trojan Storm 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in handicap at this C&D (33/1), unsuited by way race developed. Off 9 months. Less exposed than most. Beaten 8l when fourth on C&D handicap debut last spring; first run since.
8 2nd (8) (11/2 -38%) Alfheim	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(8) Alfheim 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Fourth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 15 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on previous form. Well-held fourth at Southwell latest but progressive with three wins here prior to that.
11 3rd (11) (15/2 -25%) Khangai	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(11) Khangai 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in January. 9/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Should remain competitive. Three wins since joining James Owen including over C&D; fair fourth here latest; respected.
7 4th (7) (7/1 +50%) Percy Willis	7 7/1(+50%)	(7) Percy Willis 7/1, C&D winner. 18/1, last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 8 days ago. This represents a drop in grade. Never involved over 1m6f latest but this trip more suitable.
5 5th (5) (4/1 +71%) Mount Olympus	4 4/1(+71%)	(5) Mount Olympus 4/1, Temperamental sort who possibly needed the run after 9 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (14f) 43 days ago, well positioned. Respectable return from break here in December and edging back to a workable mark.
4 6th (4) (4/1 +0%) Without Compromise	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Without Compromise 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, very good second of 8 in maiden at this course (9.5f) 19 days ago. Up in trip for handicap and may do better still. Promising start this winter and very much unexposed now up in trip for handicap debut.
9 7th (9) (25/1 +24%) Educate	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) Educate 25/1, Again finished well held when last of 9 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 50/1) 11 days ago. Back up in trip. Showed fairly useful form for the Gosden yard but struggled for this stable.
1 8th (1) (28/1 -100%) Emaculate Soldier	28 28/1(-100%)	(1) Emaculate Soldier 28/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 25/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Fourth on yard/handicap debut but well held since (both 2m); down in trip with headgear on.
3 9th (3) (4/1 -33%) Kinetic	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Kinetic 4/1, C&D winner. Visored for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Kempton (11f, 5/2) 3 days ago, just failing (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Merits respect under a penalty. Awarded race at Kempton on Weds but more needed under penalty and Fentiman on Khangai now.
2 10th (2) (18/1 +45%) Chase The Dollar	18 18/1(+45%)	(2) Chase The Dollar 18/1, Course winner who might have needed the run on first run since leaving David Loughnane when last of 7 in handicap at this course (14f) 50 days ago. Former course winner but inauspicious start for new yard here in December.
10 11th (10) (100/1 -203%) Man Of Riddles	100 100/1(-203%)	(10) Man Of Riddles 100/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 40/1). Off 9 months. Down in trip. Four AW wins but out of sorts when last seen in spring; best to look elsewhere.

20:15 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Kinetic was awarded the race in the stewards' room at Kempton on Tuesday and she merits respect under a penalty, but preference is afforded to WITHOUT COMPROMISE. Anthony Brittain's charge, who showed a decent level of ability in novice/maiden company, steps markedly up in trip for this handicap bow and that could hold the key to him. Khangai is another to consider.

ALFHEIM had been on a roll prior to her latest run at Southwell just over a fortnight ago and is given the chance to regain the progressive thread back at this venue. The James Owen-trained pair Kinetic and Khangai are feared most in that order.

George Boughey's ALFHEIM can enhance her excellent Wolverhampton record, perhaps at the main expense of Khangai.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
