MAKING HEADWAY takes in this assignment after an intended visit to Bangor on Friday was scuppered by the weather. The six-year-old went close to plundering a Grade 2 prize at Haydock prior to an honourable fourth in the Formby Novices' Hurdle at Aintree, and he could be a league above these. It isn't a penalty kick, though, because East India Express' fourth over further here is working out well, while Hasthing is on a hat-trick and could have still more to offer.

MAKING HEADWAY takes a drop in class and looks the pick on form with more to come. The promising Hasthing made it 2 from 2 over hurdles with a fair bit more in hand the margin suggested at Catterick and shouldn't be too inconvenienced by the drop in trip. East India Express completes the shortlist.

He's not the pick on hurdles ratings but HASTHING should rate higher judged on bumper form. Making Headway is second choice.

LARK IN THE MORNIN has shaped nicely in a few maiden hurdles this season and may be able to step up here. The Soldier Hollow gelding chased home the impressive Mighty Bandit first time up, before meeting trouble in running when sixth at Leopardstown. Last time, he kept on nicely when third to a smart sort in Highwind at Punchestown and may have got closer but for a mistake at the last. With no penalties to carry, he gets a nice pull of half a stone from the filly Nara. She won a Listed hurdle in her native France and, as a result, has to give weight to the field. The daughter of Jeu St Eloi shaped nicely on her Irish debut when fourth in a strong Grade 3 contest at Fairyhouse and should improve from that. She may turn the tables now with the third-placed Eagle Fang.

LARK IN THE MORNIN holds the edge on form so is taken to gain a first success in this sphere at the chief expense of Eagle Fang, who can also play a part. Pacini looks to have better days ahead of him and needs considering too.

Preference is for LARK IN THE MORNIN, a Flat winner, twice placed over hurdles. He may exploit the 7lb concession from Nara

EMITOM, a Grade 2 winner and fourth in a Stayers' Hurdle in his pomp, has proven that he retains plenty of enthusiasm for the game this season. His second to Saint Davy at Ludlow was given a boost when the winner landed a premier handicap at Sandown last weekend, and Alan King's 10-year-old handles testing conditions. So, too, does Kyntara, whose last-flight stumble arguably cost him a hat-trick at Warwick. Judicial Law has been freshened up since a Cheltenham disappointment, while Wiseguy is interesting on his return from fences.

KYNTARA would probably be 3-3 for this yard but for a blunder at the last at Warwick and he can make amends. Emitom has to be feared, with Judicial Law well worth a second look.

A chance is taken on the 12yo ON THE BLIND SIDE, who has an unreliable profile nowadays but whose record at Newbury catches the eye.

Paul Townend is back in action here aboard CAPTAIN CODY, having had a few days off, and can return on a winner. The Arctic Cosmos gelding, sixth in last season's Cheltenham Champion Bumper, made an impressive start over timber at Gowran on Thyestes day and could be a smart staying prospect. Stablemate Blizzard Of Oz also commands respect. He's also by the former St Leger winner and won on his hurdling debut at Punchestown in mid-December. He finished second to the selection in a Limerick bumper last year and may play second fiddle again. Answer To Kayf sets the standard off a mark of 134 and also has to be on the shortlist. He comes into this on the back of a good run to finish third in a Grade 2 contest at Limerick over Christmas.

CAPTAIN CODY looked a most exciting recruit when going in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Gowran so is hard to oppose. Stablemate Blizzard of Oz appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Answer To Kayf and Backtonormal.

The one to beat though should be the progressive ANSWER TO KAYF, runner-up in a Limerick Grade 2 with the drop in trip not an issue

Shishkin appeared to have things in control in the King George when stumbling and unseating his rider just after the second last. Despite Hewick picking up the pieces against Bravemansgame and Allaho, the 10-year-old's stamina and usual finishing effort would likely have been enough to hold on. That being said, he refused to race on his seasonal reappearance at Ascot and has shown signs of that in the past, most notably his last two appearances at Cheltenham, and it would be no surprise if PROTEKTORAT came out on top. Bouncing back from a lacklustre Betfair Chase effort, he produced a fine performance in handicap company at Cheltenham before giving L'Homme Presse plenty to think about at Lingfield. He jumped particularly well on his latest outing and a similar performance gives him every chance. Sam Brown returned to form when taking the Veterans' Final at Warwick and may prove best of the remainder, with both Hitman and Does He Know having questions to answer.

One of the last recognised Gold Cup trials and this looks a match between SHISHKIN and Protektorat with Nicky Henderson's 10-y-o selected to come out on top having seemingly been in command when departing in unfortunate circumstances in the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day. Sam Brown, who goes particularly well when the mud is flying, could be the one to capitalise should either of the aforementioned protagonists fluff their lines.

Provided things go smoothly for the first time this season, SHISHKIN should win. Protektorat is the biggest threat on current form.

UNION STATION shaped nicely on his debut here last month and can step forward now. The Leading Light gelding was third to easy winner Tullyhill over two miles in a stronger looking contest and, with the run under his belt and stepping up in trip, he looks the one to beat. Musta Lovea Lovea sets the standard off a mark of 111, but is rather exposed and is tried in cheekpieces now. Glen Kiln ran well to chase home Spread Boss Ted at Fairyhouse last time and could prove a bigger danger. Gold In The Rivers, a well-beaten fifth on debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, is a potential improver.

There was a good deal of promise to glean from UNION STREET's debut third in a maiden over 2m here 4 weeks ago and, open to improvement now stepping up in trip, he could be the way to go representing an in-form yard. Musta Lovea Lovea and Glen Kiln head up the dangers, whilst Gold In The Rivers rates another likely improver.

The one to beat is UNION STATION who should build on his highly promising debut over 2m here last month

This can go the way of EDWARDSTONE, who is on a retrieval mission after a heavy defeat in the Silviniaco Conti over further at Kempton last month. A creditable second to Jonbon on his two previous efforts this season, Alan King's charge still sets the standard on form and the former Grade 1 winner should have too much for progressive handicapper Boothill, who must prove himself at this level. Editeur Du Gite has strong claims on his penultimate success in the Desert Orchid, while last year's winner Funambule Sivola is another to consider.

EDWARDSTONE was unsuited by the step up in trip in the Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton last month and can quickly bounce back returned to his optimum distance with no Jonbon to contend with this time. Boothill and Editeur du Gite are potentially big threats despite both being let down by rare jumping errors last time.

Having shown strong form when winning two hot handicaps at Ascot in November, BOOTHILL earns the vote ahead of Funambule Sivola.

Not much strong recent form to go on here and WHISKEYWEALTH may prove the answer, switching back to timber. The Yeats gelding takes a drop in class having contested the valuable Dan & Joan Moore Memorial Chase at Fairyhouse last time and he looks on a nice mark over hurdles. He had been running a big race when falling in front two from home at Thurles in a handicap hurdle previously and is capable of scoring off his current rating. Verbal Sparring was well beaten over further at Punchestown last time and may appreciate dropping back to the minimum trip. He had run well previously over two miles at the Kildare venue when chasing home Billy Lee Swagger. Star Official has been knocking on the door and looks like another for the shortlist.

Preference in this open-looking handicap is for STAR OFFICIAL, who wasn't disgraced at Gowran last time and he looks more solid than most of his rivals. Verbal Sparring and Whiskeywealth are taken to fill the places, with Tempo Chapter Two also a candidate for minor honours.

This could go to top-weight CHAMPION GREEN(nap), a maiden hurdle winner here two years ago. He could have too much class for these

This prestigious contest has favoured more battle-hardened hurdlers in recent years, which bodes well for the consistent LOOKAWAY, who was only worn down late on when runner-up in the Challow here last time out. The seven-year-old proved himself in a big-field handicap when second to the reopposing Iberico Lord in the Greatwood and conditions should be of no concern. Under Control arrives on the back of a creditable effort in Grade 2 company at Doncaster, while Ocastle Des Mottes is of interest on his first start for the Willie Mullins yard. Last-time-out winners Luccia and Spirit D'aunou are capable of being in the shake-up, as well as Altobelli and Brentford Hope.

Plenty with chances but progressive ex-French winner OCASTLE DES MOTTES rates a most interesting recruit for the all-conquering Willie Mullins' yard and looks the way to go. Nicky Henderson saddles four and his lightly-raced Iberico Lord could prove the pick and emerge as the chief threat to the selection ahead of the likeable Lookaway and improving Spirit d'Aunou. Our Champ and Brentford Hope need factoring into this typically ultra-competitive Betfair Hurdle too.

Ocastle Des Mottes is hugely interesting but first choice is ALTOBELLI (nap), ahead of Spirit D'Aunou and Lookaway.

EXPLORERS WAY returned to winning ways over C&D on his latest start and a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop him from doubling up in what appears to be a more than winnable contest on paper. Gold Aura boasts a consistent level of form and is likely to be in the mix on her return to handicap company, with Rise Hall appealing most of the remainder.

EXPLORERS WAY gained his first success in excess of 1m when scoring over C&D last month and Brian Ellison's gelding looks capable of following up after a minimal rise in the weights. Masterpainter made the pdoium over 1m here last time and can go well again, with Gold Aura also worth a market check returning to handicap company.

Having shown some encouraging signs since switched to the AW, MASTERPAINTER is worth another chance over this trip.

RIVIERE D'ETEL can confirm recent form with Allegorie De Vassy over this shorter trip. The Martaline mare was impressive at Fairyhouse last time when skipping clear from the second-last for a very easy success over 2m5f. She is equally effective at the minimum trip and had run a solid race to chase home Captain Guinness at Navan previously. Paul Townend sides with Allegorie De Vassy again and she is a classy mare on her day. She wasn't at her best last time, but has to be respected on the pick of her form. She had been a good winner at Clonmel in November, when she had stablemate Instit and last year's Grand Annual winner Maskada in behind.

MASKADA stepped up on her reappearance when third in a Grade 2 at Cork and this looks a good opportunity for last season's Grand Annual winner in receipt of weight. Riviere D'etel easily beat a below-par Allegorie de Vassy in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse so Gordon Elliott's mare is feared most.

The 2023 Grand Annual winner MASKADA ha a good chance of coping with Allegorie De Vassy and Riviere D'Etel at these weights

Jonjo O'Neill sent out of the winner of this race last year and can repeat the feat if INCH HOUSE shows the same level of determination he has since being sent chasing. A winner over the extended 2m6f at this venue on his penultimate start, the selection wasn't the most fluent at his fences that day but made up for it with tenacity and stamina. Makin'yourmindup is another live contender who is open to progression over fences, while Mister Coffey is noted despite the burden of top-weight.

INCH HOUSE has showed much improved form following his switch to chasing, landing back-to-back handicaps here before finishing a good second at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago. Open to further improvement, he can come out on top again. Makin'yourmindup and Mister Coffey head up the dangers.

The solid one is INCH HOUSE whose progressive profile includes two wins from two outings at Newbury.

SEA GIRT was only beaten a short head when second in a similar event over C&D a couple of weeks ago and the first-time application of a tongue-tie could help him to go one better here.

SEA GIRT saw the trip out well as he returned to the pick of his form when runner-up over C&D 16 days ago and a repeat should see Iain Jardine's charge go close with a tongue tie now enlisted. Rubellite, Great Colaci and Wheres The Crumpet are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Less exposed than most of these, SEA GIRT was short-headed over C&D 16 days ago and can go one better in a first-time tongue-strap.

Billaway has won this for the last four years but tends to be better for a run and may be best watched on his belated return. The vote goes to ITS ON THE LINE, who comes here having won a strong contest at Down Royal last time. The Presenting gelding got home by half a length from Ferns Lock on St Stephen's Day and that form is very strong, with the runner-up posting an impressive win at Thurles since. Battleoverdoyen is an interesting recruit to this division. He won an Open in Tyrella late last month and with that confidence-boosting success under his belt, he could be a force in this.

ITS ON THE LINE arrives on a hat-trick and, if the emphasis is sufficiently on stamina, he should be capable of completing it at the possible expense of Hitak, who is an intriguing addition from points. Battleoverdoyen also merits plenty of respect on his first go in this sphere.

An emerging star last season ITS ON THE LINE has confirmed a high standard by beating the talented Fern Lock at Down Royal.

ROYAL INFANTRY got off the mark under Rules in fine style in a Doncaster bumper last month and this well-bred five-year-old is too bright a prospect to ignore. Histrionic could well emerge as the better of the two Paul Nicholls-trained runners and commands respect given he holds previous C&D experience. Union Avenue is 2-2 in bumpers and cannot be ruled out given his progressive profile, while Noahsgreatrainbow is another to watch out for.

HISTRIONIC was a big purchase from points and went like the best horse for most of the way on Rules debut, simply showing greenness under pressure. He should have learned plenty from that, so he can improve enough to open his account for all that the likes of Union Avenue and Dirty Den have achieved a bit more to this point.

The two 4yos plus Noahsgreatrainbow and Royal Infantry must be considered but HISTRIONIC could improve past them all.

May Remain has not been beaten far on his last couple of starts and is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, while similar comments apply to Sparkling Spirit.

SPARKLING SPIRIT is yet to taste success, but her consistency is hard to knock so Adrian Keatley's charge gets the tentative vote having dropped to a career-low mark. May Remain is another arriving in good order so he may emerge as the main danger, with Flash The Dash and Beneficiary another couple not out of things, either.

Not much form to go on here and BUCKAWAY FREDDIE gets the token vote. Gordon Elliott's Flemensfirth newcomer is a half-brother to Slate House, a Grade 1 winner over fences as a novice a few years ago. The Pat Doyle-trained Kap De Triomphe is another interesting newcomer. The French import is out of a half-sister to a decent sort in Charmix. Rose Boum is the only one in the field with experience and she may improve from her initial effort, having finished sixth to Shuttle Diplomacy here last month.

BUCKAWAY FREDDIE is well related and represents top connections, so he should be up to making a successful debut in what doesn't look a particularly strong race. Kap de Triomphe also makes some appeal on paper.

Not much to go on, but the fact that Pat Doyle provided the runner-up in a similar event last month sways the vote to KAP DE TRIOMPHE

RIBAL can make a winning debut for new connections, with a mark of 79 suggesting that the son of Roaring Lion could prove to be a class above these rivals. That said, Jungle Charm was not disgraced on her sole previous start, finishing fourth at Windsor, and should not be underestimated, despite a 250-day break.

JUNGLE CHARM made a promising start when fourth in a Windsor maiden last summer and Archie Watson's Jungle Cat filly can make light of her absence here. Ribal starts out with Stuart Williams with the form to have a big say so rates the chief threat ahead of Willow Baby and Calder Valley.

With doubts over her rivals for various reasons, JUNGLE CHARM's appeal is heightened. Ribal is feared most on form.

Inexplicable is another with valid form claims.

ONE NIGHT STAND may have been 4lb out of the handicap when he sprung a surprise at Lingfield three weeks ago but there was no fluke about the effort and Scott Dixon's consistent gelding, who tends to go well at this time of year, ranks highly in his bid to follow up. Alligator Alley (sixth) and Silky Wilkie (seventh) have theoretical chances of turning the Lingfield form around on the revised terms, but the class-dropping Kinta is feared most, despite having to concede 12lb to the selection.

Cases can be made for the majority of these, with HARRY BROWN shading preference. Though below par on turf when last seen in the autumn, he's now 2 lb below his last winning mark and the return to the all-weather is another positive factor. It's hard to fault Intervention and he looks set for another bold show, while Alligator Alley and Silky Wilkie are both capable of better than they showed behind One Night Stand at Lingfield.

A competitive sprint in which the well-treated SILKY WILKIE can defy top weight at the main expense of Harry Brown.

Pallas Lord was on target over C&D from a 2lb lower mark last month and the son of Dandy Man can be expected to mount another stern challenge, having gone close subsequently. However, a chance is taken on BOSSY PARKER, who posted his best effort in a while when finishing fourth over 7f at Southwell. Eased 2lb in the ratings, Stella Barclay's charge looks extremely well treated judged on what he has previously achieved on turf. Reclaim Victory appeals most of the remainder.

PALLAS LORD has been in good form over C&D on his first 3 starts of the year, getting his head back in front on his second outing in January before running at least as well when second 17 days later. He is taken to see off the challenge of Reclaim Victory, who was only narrowly denied here last time, with Odd Socks Havana completing the shortlist.

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

Ideally berthed in stall three, WISEACRE could be hard to peg back if he puts the pace to the race. Luke Morris, who has done well since returning from his stint riding in Japan, has previous knowledge of the selection's style of running and, with his services secured, there are solid grounds to expect another bold showing. Thapa VC, He's A Gentleman and Surprise Picture are others with recent winning form to consider.

BAILEYSGUTFEELING rather lost his way for Nikki Evans but he's potentially well treated starting out for a new yard so could be worth chancing back from a break. She's Centimental responded well to this headgear when scoring at Kempton and is another to consider along with the in-form He's A Gentleman.

Billy Mill is dangerous but the combination of a wind op, new yard and headgear make BAILEYSGUTFEELING (nap) of some interest.

POP FAVORITE landed a similar C&D event under Elisha Whittington last month and a subsequent 3lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from following up. The form of Weloof's latest Wolverhampton second was franked when the winner struck again earlier in the week, so he merits plenty of respect with that in mind. Amaysmont should not be underestimated either.

WELOOF has shaped as if his turn could be near when runner-up on his last 2 starts, conceding first run at Wolverhampton on his latest outing (the winner has scored again since), so he is taken to get back to winning ways. Pop Favorite gained a fifth C&D success 16 days ago and could be the main danger, ahead of Amaysmont.

Marginal preference in an open contests is for WELOOF who can gain a deserved win at the chief expense of C&D scorer Pop Favorite

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Charlie's Choice is bidding for the hat-trick after scoring by two and a half lengths over 1m3f at Kempton last time, and it would be no surprise to see him involved off a 6lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to LISEO, who had a subsequent winner back third when going in by half a length at Kempton last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from recording a double. Way Of Life has hit the frame on seven of his last eight outings and can also go well.

This is a higher-grade handicap than those won by CHARLIE'S CHOICE last month but he is clearly on the up and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Liseo produced his best effort yet when getting on top close home at Kempton and a 3 lb rise looks manageable. He is feared most ahead of Haku, Percy Willis and Way of Life.

Charlie's Choice is respected but Tyler Saunder's 5lb claim might enable consistent 6yo WAY OF LIFE to get his head in front.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ISLE OF WOLVES has produced some really solid efforts of late, including his close-up third over C&D last month, and he was kindly dropped 1lb for that display. The eight-year-old is well drawn in stall two and could prove tough to reel in. Last-time-out winner Always Fearless is likely to have his supporters, while Pink Jazz can fight it out for the minor honours after his fourth over track and trip last time.

TONAL again ran well on just his second start in handicaps when fourth here (8.6f) 4 days ago, that despite being intimidated late on. He's far less exposed than most he meets here and gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run now upped in trip. Pink Jazz, who was well backed last time, would need considering if supported again for his shrewd stable, with Isle of Wolves and Cryptos Dream others to consider.

Cryptos Dream can quickly bounce back from a quiet run but PINK JAZZ is handicapped to win and gets the nod.
