12:40 Leopardstown Handicap Hurdle 18f - 19 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
12 1st (12) (20/1 +0%) Brucio	20 20/1(+0%)	(12) Brucio 20/1, Showed some ability in bumpers and readily surpassed previous hurdles form when landing 13-runner mares' maiden at Catterick (15.7f) 24 days ago, going on approaching 2 out and cruising clear. Highly likely she can do better again now handicapping. Easy winner of a maiden at Catterick last month, this looks challenging for handicap debut.
6 2nd (6) (18/1 +10%) Minx Tiara	18 18/1(+10%)	(6) Minx Tiara 18/1, Mixed bag over fences during the autumn but got back on track over hurdles when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (16f, heavy, 40/1) 39 days ago, travelling as well as any and no extra after last. Each-way claims. On a long losing run but some encouragement can be taken from her run here at Christmas.
4 3rd (4) (11/2 +8%) Feet Of A Dancer	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(4) Feet Of A Dancer 11/2, Progressive mare who, following 4 months off, got back on the up in taking fashion when winning 20-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 64 days ago, leading before last and easing clear. Handicapper has reacted but unlikely she's reached her limit on that evidence. Two handicap wins have come over further but the likely strong pace should help her cause.
8 4th (8) (11/1 +56%) Media Naranja	11 11/1(+56%)	(8) Media Naranja 11/1, Flat/dual hurdles winner. Ran up to best when fifth of 19 in listed handicap at Fairyhouse (2m) in December. However, needs to dispel a lesser effort at Limerick later that month. A long way below her best at Limerick last time, previous Fairyhouse fifth was respectable.
2 5th (2) (3/1 +25%) Risk Belle	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Risk Belle 3/1, Progressive last season and returned better than ever when landing Fairyhouse Grade 3 in December. Well backed, far from disgraced when third in Leopardstown Gr. 3 (20f) since and she's of interest again returned to handicaps/back down in trip. Drops in class after two Grade 3 runs, solid form in handicaps last season, strong chance.
14 6th (14) (33/1 -65%) Double Pink	33 33/1(-65%)	(14) Double Pink 33/1, 7-y-o who showed improved form when doubling her tally over hurdles at Wexford (20f, heavy) in November. Flying too high in Grade 3 company subsequently and whilst this rates more suitable others make more appeal for win purposes. Was set a stiff task in a Grade 3 event last time, won at Wexford with plenty to spare.
7 7th (7) (20/1 +20%) Belle The Lioness	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) Belle The Lioness 20/1, Lightly-raced mare who stepped up markedly on her reappearance run when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) 34 days ago, driven before 2 out and keeping on well. Likely she can do better again, including back up in trip. Improved from her run behind Double Pink at Wexford when second at Tramore, more to do now.
3 8th (3) (10/1 +29%) Broomfield Bijou	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) Broomfield Bijou 10/1, Much-improved last year, landing mares' maiden at Ballinrobe prior to taking big-field handicap hurdle at Punchestown (2m) in April. Not disgraced either outing this term, 6½ lengths third of 6 to Hispanic Moon in listed mares' event (3/1) at Punchestown (18.2f, soft) 70 days ago. Punchestown festival handicap winner, interesting after two runs in conditions races.
15 9th (15) (66/1 -65%) Mousey Brown	66 66/1(-65%)	(15) Mousey Brown 66/1, Bumper/fair hurdle winner. Not the most convincing in handful of starts over fences during second half of last year and this a tough enough ask now handicapping in this sphere. Absent since running twice over fences last September, seems more effective on good going.
13 10th (13) (25/1 -25%) Innatendue	25 25/1(-25%)	(13) Innatendue 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler who ran up to her best on her first outing since the spring/back with this trainer when just failing over extended 2m in Cheltenham maiden (16.4f) in November. May have found step back up in trip against her back there 5 weeks ago. Cheekpieces go on now. Last two runs have been in maidens at Cheltenham, unlikely to make the breakthrough now.
5 11th (5) (9/2 -50%) Foxy Girl	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(5) Foxy Girl 9/2, Maiden hurdle winner who shaped well in a first-time hood when third in listed handicap at Down Royal (16.9f) in November. Not seen to best effect when ninth in similar company at Fairyhouse (2m) subsequently and she's worth another chance to prove her mark a workable one. Suffered interference when favourite at Fairyhouse, better judged on good Down Royal run.
1 12th (1) (8/1 -14%) Shecouldbeanything	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Shecouldbeanything 8/1, Smart hurdler who posted a career best effort when landing listed handicap at Killarney (17f) in August. Absent since finishing 10¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Hispanic Moon in listed mares' event at Punchestown (18.2f, soft) in November but likely she can bounce back. Found to have made a respiratory noise last time, big chance on overall form, good claimer.
19 13th (19) (33/1 -106%) Idol	33 33/1(-106%)	(19) Idol 33/1, Low-mileage mare who showed much-improved form when making a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Punchestown (20.3f) 3 weeks ago, edging ahead approaching last and ridden out. Still unexposed and highly likely there's more to come. Has gone up 10lb for winning on handicap debut but still has to compete from 7lb wrong.
20 14th (20) (66/1 -32%) Stormalong	66 66/1(-32%)	(20) Stormalong 66/1, Posted best effort to date when second of 10 in mares' handicap at Clonmel (19.8f) in September. Not in same form either start thereafter and likely she'll prove vulnerable to a few back in handicaps. Still a maiden after ten starts over hurdles, 7lb out of the handicap, up against it.
17 15th (17) (66/1 -65%) Je T'ai Porte	66 66/1(-65%)	(17) Je T'ai Porte 66/1, Fair winning hurdler who was in process of running below form when unseating last at Bellewstown in August. Offered little sent chasing back from 5 months off at Fairyhouse (2m) 11 days ago and others make greater appeal now returning to timber. Should be better for a recent run over fences but chance is not obvious, good 5lb claimer.
10 16th (10) (12/1 -50%) Splashing Out	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Splashing Out 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler who opened her account in mares' handicap hurdle at Limerick (2m, heavy) in November. Arguably should have followed up in novice company back at that venue a month later and not out of things from career-high mark. Has been hit with an aggregate 11lb rise for two Limerick runs, may remain competitive.
9 17th (9) (33/1 -32%) A Law Of Her Own	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) A Law Of Her Own 33/1, Well served by fitting of a visor when making a winning return at Galway (16.5f) in August. Struggled to make an impact up in grade thereafter but back on track when fourth of 11 in handicap at Punchestown (19f) 5 weeks ago. Won a Galway festival handicap last August, more recent form not particularly convincing.
16 \|PU\| (16) (18/1 -13%) Natural Look	18 18/1(-13%)	(16) Natural Look 18/1, Dual hurdles winner who got off the mark over fences at Galway (22.5f) in October. Similar form when third in Navan listed handicap hurdle in December and she ought to give another good account. Won a handicap chase at Galway in October, third behind a progressive hurdler on latest.
18 \|PU\| (18) (28/1 +15%) Belle Of Annandale	28 28/1(+15%)	(18) Belle Of Annandale 28/1, Has done well switched to hurdles for this yard, winning maiden/novice events at Perth/Musselburgh last year. Remained in form since (latest run on Flat best excused) but she can ill-afford a sloppy round of jumping in this field. Blinkers on. Well exposed Flat maiden, winner of two of her five starts over hurdles, others preferred.

12:40 Leopardstown Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Foxy Girl shouldn't be judged too harshly on her ninth-placed finish in a similar contest at Fairyhouse in December having been hampered and losing all chance at the last. The six-year-old isn't taken lightly, but SHECOULDBEANYTHING makes slightly more appeal. Gordon Elliott's charge has some useful form in the book and she may find that the addition of a first-time tongue-tie unlocks some improvement, with Danny Gilligan's 5lb claim of value too. Although the progressive Feet Of A Dancer faces her stiffest assignment to date, the Authorized mare may not have reached her ceiling just yet.

Having shaped well when third on return/handicap debut, FOXY GIRL was better than she could show when finishing midfield in a big-field Fairyhouse handicap in December, left poorly placed as the tempo lifted and badly hampered late on. She's worth another chance to confirm her mark a workable one, with Risk Belle, Feet of A Dancer and Belle The Lioness others to consider. Shecouldbeanything is another not out of things.

Philip Dempsey has run BROOMFIELD BIJNOU in two conditions race this term and has managed to protect a mark which she may now exploit

13:00 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (6/4 +25%) Charlatan	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(4) Charlatan 6/4, Promising type. 2/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago. Remains unexposed and can follow up. Lightly raced; off the mark in Kempton handicap two weeks ago; open to further progress.
8 2nd (8) (28/1 -100%) United Force	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) United Force 28/1, Modest gelding. 20/1 and visored for 1st time, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 17 days ago. Blinkers back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. The balance of his form for current stable is not convincing; 0-10 on AW.
7 3rd (7) (11/4 +17%) Thoughtful Gift	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(7) Thoughtful Gift 11/4, Modest mare. 22/1, good second of 8 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago, running on. Can give a good account. Ran well at Southwell (classified debut) last time; big player with Oisin Murphy booked.
5 4th (5) (11/2 +39%) River Wharfe	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(5) River Wharfe 11/2, Modest gelding. Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly on these terms. Not solid on recent form but has possibilities dropped to 0-50 with Rossa Ryan booked.
1 5th (1) (17/2 -209%) Twistaline	8.5 17/2(-209%)	(1) Twistaline 17/2, Modest mare. C&D winner. 9/2, won 10-runner minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 5 days ago, comfortably. Respected under a penalty. 3l success at Southwell five days ago; should remain competitive even with 5lb penalty.
2 6th (2) (11/1 -10%) Calleveryoneuknow	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Calleveryoneuknow 11/1, Modest filly. 22/1, excuses when fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago, finishing with running left. Frame claims. Inconsistent maiden but could go well with Hollie Doyle booked on classified debut.
6 7th (6) (200/1 -700%) Star Adorned	200 200/1(-700%)	(6) Star Adorned 200/1, Poor filly. Eighth of 9 in minor event (40/1) at Kempton (7f) 25 days ago. Plenty to find on form. New trip needs to make a difference for this maiden.
3 8th (3) (9/1 +18%) Cap D'antibes	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) Cap D'antibes 9/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Michael Roberts when tenth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D (AW) 46 days ago. Bit to prove. Has a doubt over current form and two-year losing spell is another negative.

13:00 Lingfield Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CHARLATAN got off the mark in handicap company over a mile at Kempton a couple of weeks ago and that form gives the unexposed four-year-old a big chance at this level. Twistaline won a similar race to this at Southwell on Tuesday and has to be of interest, despite having to concede weight all round. Thoughtful Gift and United Force are others to consider.

CHARLATAN pulled clear with the runner-up when off the mark at Kempton 2 weeks ago and this unexposed sort is fancied to follow up. Thoughtful Gift and Twistaline are feared most.

Lightly raced 5yo mare THOUGHTFUL GIFT is taken to build on her latest effort and go one better. Charlatan is feared most.

	2 1st (2) (6/4 +14%) Fact To File		1.5 6/4(+14%)																									(2) Fact To File 6/4, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Career best when winning 5-runner novice chase (4/6) at this course (21.3f, heavy) 38 days ago, impressively. Looks a real class act and worth the chance to take this big prize. Impressive in C&D beginners' at Christmas, jumped well and travelled powerfully, respected.
	4 \|U\| (4) (4/7 +37%) Gaelic Warrior		0.571429 4/7(+37%)																									(4) Gaelic Warrior 4/7, Promising sort. Career best when winning 5-runner Faugheen Novices' Chase (4/7) at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 38 days ago by 5½ lengths from Il Etait Temps, plenty in hand. Already looks an excellent jumper and should take a big hand. Top-class novice hurdler, has made a seamless transition to chasing, looks the part here.

13:10 Leopardstown Maiden Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GAELIC WARRIOR has taken to chasing exceptionally well with a bloodless victory at Punchestown followed by success at the highest level in the Faugheen at Limerick. The minor concern is his habit to jump right at times, but the six-year-old has appeared to be more tractable over fences, especially last time, and is taken to confirm his superiority as the leading novice chaser at Closutton. That said, his stable companions Fact To File and Grangeclare West were both impressive here over Christmas and the former, who went straight over fences as opposed to going down the novice hurdle route, seems the more likely to give the selection a race.

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand and FACT TO FILE and Gaelic Warrior are hard to split. The former was so impressive here last time that he takes marginal preference, however, while Grangeclare West, another representative of the same stable, must be respected.

The Mullins runners stand out. GAELIC WARRIOR has effortlessly impressed in races at Punchestown and Limerick and sets the standard

13:20 Musselburgh Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (10/11 +52%) Liari	0.909091 10/11(+52%)	(1) Liari 10/11, Fairly useful Flat winner in France and 2-2 in juvenile hurdles for new connections. The second success came at listed level at Aintree in November and he might be up to defying a penalty with further progress likely. 2-2 over hurdles, latterly in Aintree Listed event; different ground but very promising.
7 2nd (7) (11/2 +21%) Roaring Legend	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(7) Roaring Legend 11/2, Fairly useful on Flat for James Ferguson and made an encouraging start to his hurdle career when second of 6 to a smart prospect from the Paul Nicholls yard at Kempton (2m, good to soft) last month. Can be expected to improve. Fairly useful on Flat; encouraging second on hurdle debut at Kempton (9-1) three weeks ago.
4 3rd (4) (10/1 -25%) Balboa	10 10/1(-25%)	(4) Balboa 10/1, Won 7-runner Chepstow juvenile in October. Improved when 3 lengths second to to the reopposing An Bradan Feasa at Cheltenham 2 months later and shaped as if still in good form when remote second in Finale back at Chepstow over Christmas (final start for Anthony Charlton). Has left Tony Charlton; player on his best form but others are a bit more persuasive.
2 4th (2) (16/5 -42%) An Bradan Feasa	3.2 16/5(-42%)	(2) An Bradan Feasa 16/5, Made a successful start over hurdles in a Ballinrobe maiden (for Joseph O'Brien) and has built on that for new yard, chasing home Burdett Road in a Cheltenham Grade 2 before going one better back there 4 weeks later. Looks sure to go well again. 2-3 as a hurdler, the defeat when second in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham; big player on form.
5 5th (5) (16/1 +20%) Churchwarden	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Churchwarden 16/1, Showed fair form on second of 2 starts in maidens on Flat for Eddie & Patrick Harty. Positive start to his hurdle career for new trainer John McConnell when second over C&D on New Year's Day but will need to leave that bare form well behind to figure prominently here. Very lightly raced and made a promising hurdle debut behind Rory The Cat over C&D (soft).
8 6th (8) (28/1 -250%) Rory The Cat	28 28/1(-250%)	(8) Rory The Cat 28/1, Won pair of handicaps on the level this summer. Remote sixth to Union Flag on his C&D hurdle debut in November but different proposition when scoring twice here since. Another chunk of improvement required if he's to extend the winning sequence to 3. Improving with two C&D wins (beat two of these latest) but this will demand better still.
9 7th (9) (100/1 -300%) Thats Jet	100 100/1(-300%)	(9) Thats Jet 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who has already surpassed that form over hurdles, running to a fair level when second of 13 at Killarney (17f, soft) in August (final start for Ross O'Sullivan). Not in the same form when fifth of 11 to Eagle Prince at Sedgefield on yard debut in October. Off since. Ex-Irish; disappointing favourite, making most, in October on sole start for new yard.
3 8th (3) (40/1 -100%) Union Flag	40 40/1(-100%)	(3) Union Flag 40/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who built on his hurdling debut promise for Noel Meade when ready winner of 9-runner C&D juvenile in November. Hasn't built on that in 2 his outings since and improvement needed to get heavily involved at this level. Below form back here (behind two of these) on latest start; carries his head awkwardly.

13:20 Musselburgh Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

2-2 over hurdles so far, and already a winner at this level, the progressive LIARI is hard to oppose in his bid to complete a three-timer. The Paul Nicholls-trained French import is a possible for the Triumph Hurdle next month and another bold bid here can only enhance his claims. An Bradan Feasa had three lengths to spare over runner-up Balboa when he won at Cheltenham in December and poses a big threat to the selection. Dual C&D winner Rory The Cat is the pick of the rest.

LIARI gets the nod to remain unbeaten over hurdles and provide Paul Nicholls with a fourth win in this listed race since 2016, but there are a few possible threats, headed by An Bradan Feasa, Roaring Legend and Balboa.

Nicholls-trainer LIARI won a Listed event on heavy going but surely does not need the ground that testing. He looks very promising.

13:32 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (6/1 +0%) Spartan Army	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Spartan Army 6/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 10/3, fair fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 64 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Possibilities. May improve with Rossa Ryan booked on AW debut; interesting.
3 2nd (3) (10/3 -21%) Red Flyer	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(3) Red Flyer 10/3, 9/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) 29 days ago, always holding on. This course scorer is in the picture again. Suited by the return to 2m at Kempton last month and remains unexposed at this trip.
1 3rd (1) (12/1 -9%) Barenboim	12 12/1(-9%)	(1) Barenboim 12/1, Course winner. 22/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 17 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly back up in trip. Very much one to consider off an easingh mark. Revival is possible off current mark in this grade; market support should be heeded.
9 4th (9) (5/2 -11%) Artisan Dancer	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(9) Artisan Dancer 5/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 8 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so can go well again despite taking a 5 lb rise. Scored comfortably at Newcastle last weekend; remains very consistent on AW.
8 5th (8) (18/1 -64%) Zoran	18 18/1(-64%)	(8) Zoran 18/1, 10/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 60 days ago so needs to get back on track. Went close at Kempton two starts ago; holds a fighting chance on that form.
4 6th (4) (8/1 +27%) First Emperor	8 8/1(+27%)	(4) First Emperor 8/1, C&D winner. Had a wind op ahead of creditable 5 lengths seventh of 12 to Red Flyer in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (16f) 29 days ago. In the mix. Should fare better with Kempton reappearance under his belt; C&D winner.
2 7th (2) (9/1 +36%) Apparate	9 9/1(+36%)	(2) Apparate 9/1, Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 22/1) 51 days ago. More needed on his polytrack debut. Mixed results for new stable but looks quite interesting dropped in class.
7 8th (7) (20/1 -43%) Haliphon	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Haliphon 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 12 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Shortlisted now back up in trip. May benefit from this step back up in trip; 0-4 on AW but is attractively weighted.
6 9th (6) (8/1 -33%) Moliwood	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Moliwood 8/1, Good third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 22/1) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly with that form having been franked. Placed in two of his last three races; ties in with Artisan Dancer on latest effort.

13:32 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

The consistent Artisan Dancer has to be respected following his deserved win over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle recently. That said, a 5lb rise could leave the four-year-old vulnerable and preference is for APPARATE, who ran well in some competitive events last season and he could prove to be a class above these rivals. Others to note are Red Flyer and Spartan Army.

BARENBOIM hinted at a revival when eighth at Southwell last time so this course winner is taken to capitalise on a reduced mark at the chief expense of recent Newcastle scorer Artisan Dancer. In-form pair Moliwood and Red Flyer both need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

The drop back in grade may enable BARENBOIM to stage a revival. Red Flyer is second choice.

13:40 Leopardstown Maiden Hurdle 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (10/11 +9%) Ballyburn	0.909091 10/11(+9%)	(2) Ballyburn 10/11, Most impressive winner of a 2½m maiden hurdle here at the Christmas meeting, pulling 25 lengths clear of a next-time-out winner. Should be fine back at 2m and looks more than good enough to cope with the rise in grade. Drops back in trip but is the choice of Paul Townend and that is of obvious significance.
10 2nd (10) (6/1 +25%) Slade Steel	6 6/1(+25%)	(10) Slade Steel 6/1, Made it 2-2 over hurdles when digging deep to see off Lecky Watson by ½ length in 2½m Navan Grade 2 8 weeks ago. While the drop back to 2m isn't certain to suit he's a smart prospect who has more to offer. Drop back to 2m is unlikely to be a problem and he remains a novice of some potential.
9 3rd (9) (12/1 -20%) King Of Kingsfield	12 12/1(-20%)	(9) King Of Kingsfield 12/1, Useful form. Good 1½ lengths second of 8 to Farren Glory in Grade 1 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse before comfortably landing a C&D maiden at the Christmas meeting. Likeable type but probably vulnerable for win purposes back at the highest level. Likely to find one or two too good but could be bang there if he can find some improvement.
1 4th (1) (33/1 +0%) Absurde	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Absurde 33/1, Improved on the Flat for this yard last year, winning Ebor at York before seventh of 23 in the Melbourne Cup. Likely failed to cope with very testing ground when pulled up back hurdling here over Christmas. Ebor winner looks the third or fourth string of the Mullins quintet here.
8 5th (8) (20/1 +60%) Jit Langy	20 20/1(+60%)	(8) Jit Langy 20/1, Promise in Flat maiden and newcomers hurdle in France before striking in cosy fashion on his debut for the Willie Mullins yard at Tipperary back in May. Should have more to offer but this is a tough ask on his first outing since. Hard to assess and difficult to see him landing this on what he has done so far.
4 6th (4) (11/1 -38%) Daddy Long Legs	11 11/1(-38%)	(4) Daddy Long Legs 11/1, Bought for €210,000 after finishing second on French Flat debut in May 2022 and made light of long absence in Thurles maiden hurdle 18 months later. Seemingly failed to cope with heavy ground when pulled up in C&D Grade 1 in December, the fact he went off favourite suggesting he's highly regarded. Should get a better idea of his level of ability after this but others look more likely.
7 7th (7) (16/1 +20%) Gold Dancer	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Gold Dancer 16/1, Won 9-runner juvenile hurdle (25/10) at Compiegne (17.9f, heavy) in September. Potentially useful recruit for new yard but perhaps best watched here unless the betting vibes are notably strong. Thrown in at the deep end on debut for Willie Mullins and a very interesting runner.
6 8th (6) (40/1 +20%) Fascile Mode	40 40/1(+20%)	(6) Fascile Mode 40/1, Useful hurdler but held by a couple of these on Royal Bond form and distant fourth in the C&D Grade 1 at the Christmas meeting. Found wanting in Grade 1 Royal Bond; remote fourth here in the Grade 1 here last time.
5 9th (5) (4/1 -33%) Farren Glory	4 4/1(-33%)	(5) Farren Glory 4/1, Improved again to land Grade 1 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse in December, rallying well to see off reopposing stablemate King of Kingsfield. Looked all set for another Grade 1 success (travelling strongly in lead) when falling 2 out in Formby at Aintree (2m, heavy) over Christmas. Bold show likely. Royal Bond winner and the likely winner at Aintree when falling two out; leading contender.
3 10th (3) (250/1 -150%) Boher Road	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Boher Road 250/1, Won a maiden hurdle at Wexford in September but held in a handicap at Listowel later in the month and looks firmly up against it at this level. Tends to jump right; looks out of his depth here notwithstanding his jumping issues.

13:40 Leopardstown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BALLYBURN impressed when winning a maiden hurdle by 25 lengths over 2m4f here just after Christmas and rates a horse who is going places. That was a marked improvement from the gelding's hurdling debut, and this drop in trip is only a slight concern given the comprehensive manner of that performance. Farren Glory was in front when falling two out in the Formby at Aintree 40 days ago but could bounce back if that awkward landing hasn't left any mental scars. On the back of his Navan Grade 2 success, Slade Steel is no back number either.

The Willie Mullins domination of this Grade 1 novice looks set to continue courtesy of BALLYBURN, who had next-time winners toiling in his wake in a maiden here at the Christmas meeting. Farren Glory looked set to land his second Grade 1 of the winter until crashing out at the second last at Aintree and is feared most ahead of Navan Grade 2 winner Slade Steel.

The proven Grade 1 performer here is FARREN GLORY, winner of the Royal Bond and travelling like the winner when falling at Aintree

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/4 +38%) Beau Balko	1.25 5/4(+38%)	(2) Beau Balko 5/4, Won twice over hurdles for current yard last season and has been going the right way in his 3 starts over fences so far, not helped by a bad mid-race mistake when second of 4 in novice handicap at Hereford last time. Remains with potential and can open his chase account. Did well to finish second at Hereford last time, having made a bad jumping error.
6 2nd (6) (9/1 -64%) Mint Gold	9 9/1(-64%)	(6) Mint Gold 9/1, Made light of a 30-month absence when landing 4-runner handicap chase at this C&D in November. Not in the same form when falling at the last at Newcastle (20.1f) next time, but had still been close up 4 out before weakening. Merits consideration back down in trip. C&D winner in November, after mammoth layoff, and didn't run badly on latest outing.
5 3rd (5) (13/2 +7%) Ganapathi	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(5) Ganapathi 13/2, Useful hurdles/chase winner for Willie Mullins. Down the field on final 3 starts for Patrick Neville but has offered more on his last 2 outings for his current yard, third of 5 in handicap chase at Kelso in December. Can give his running again. Has arrested his decline on last two outings but is patently not the force of old.
3 4th (3) (8/1 -100%) Cedar Hill	8 8/1(-100%)	(3) Cedar Hill 8/1, Landed small field handicaps at Perth/Kelso during the summer and ran well when second at latter-named venue in October. Bled when below form next time, but was better than he could show when falling here on New Year's Day. Interesting with his recent run behind him. Needs to get back in the groove but current mark is workable and he has a good strike-rate.
4 5th (4) (4/1 +67%) Dreams Of Home	4 4/1(+67%)	(4) Dreams Of Home 4/1, Made a winning return at Kelso last season and took a step back in the right direction when third at this C&D on his first start of the current campaign. However, hasn't gone on from that in 2 starts since, so others are more persuasive at present. Ran quite well over C&D on seasonal debut but two disappointing efforts have followed.
1 6th (1) (10/1 -82%) Bollingerandkrug	10 10/1(-82%)	(1) Bollingerandkrug 10/1, Has shown improved form switched to front-running tactics, making it four wins at Kelso in 5 starts when successful there in November. However, ran no sort of race at Newbury last time, albeit unable to lead. Bounce back called for having another outing away from Kelso. Won four times at Kelso last year but is away from his happy hunting ground today.
7 \|PU\| (7) (14/1 -56%) Overcourt	14 14/1(-56%)	(7) Overcourt 14/1, Dual hurdles winner for Sandy Thomson who made the frame on his first 5 starts over fences, off 22 months ahead of joining his current yard this season. However, has run below form on his last 2 outings so he needs to get back on track returned to this shorter trip. Second twice for new stable in the autumn but looked out of sorts on final two appearances.

13:50 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

BOLLINGERANDKRUG was handed a stiff task in a deeper race at Newbury on his most recent start but, now dropped down a grade, he can have a bigger impact. Admittedly, the gelding is a Kelso specialist, having won twice over hurdles and four times over fences at that venue. However, he is also a tough nut to crack on a going day and is taken to outmanoeuvre Beau Balko, who is respected but was let down by his jumping latest. Cedar Hill completes the shortlist.

A fairly useful winner over hurdles, BEAU BALKO hasn't quite matched that level in 3 starts over fences so far, but he still remains capable of better as a chaser having made a bad mid-race mistake (jumped fine otherwise) at Hereford last time. He is taken to go one better, with Cedar Hill feared most with his recent run behind him. Mint Gold is also considered.

The most appealing option is BEAU BALKO, who recovered from a calamitous mid-race jumping error to finish second on his latest outing.

2 1st (2) (2/1 +20%) Laheg	2 2/1(+20%)	(2) Laheg 2/1, Winless during a light 2023 but given a chance by the handicapper and he ran well despite a poor start back from 8 months off when third of 8 in a C&D handicap 21 days ago. Worth considering on the back of that here. Close third in C&D contest (back from layoff) last month; respected off same mark.
7 2nd (7) (8/1 +20%) Muscika	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) Muscika 8/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 11/2) 12 days ago, held when hampered final 50 yds. Likely he'll face competition for the lead here. Doesn't look the percentage call on the balance of his form this year.
3 3rd (3) (11/4 -10%) King Cabo	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) King Cabo 11/4, Held form well during second half of last year, adding to his tally at Kempton (7f) in September, quickening to lead again 1f out and always holding on. Not dismissed from 3 lb higher mark back from a break. Absent since 7f success in September; drop in trip presents a question mark.
5 4th (5) (3/1 +33%) Twilight Madness	3 3/1(+33%)	(5) Twilight Madness 3/1, Latest win over C&D in December and he backed that up when second of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 7/2) 3 days ago, unable to hold off one from off the pace. Should be thereabouts again. Won over C&D in December; close second at Chelmsford on Thursday; strong claims.
1 5th (1) (40/1 -186%) Evocative Spark	40 40/1(-186%)	(1) Evocative Spark 40/1, Latest win at Chester in September. 12/1, last of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 12 days ago, outpaced in rear and never involved. Step back up in trip rates a plus on that evidence but all career victories have come at around 7f. 0-6 on AW but penultimate effort gives cause form optimism returned to 6f.
6 6th (6) (17/2 -55%) Incrimination	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(6) Incrimination 17/2, C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. 7/1, good second of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, AW) in April, staying on final 1f. Remains less exposed than most and she may yet have more to offer. Lightly raced; absent since running well here on Good Friday 2023; may improve further.
4 7th (4) (16/1 -129%) Whenthedealinsdone	16 16/1(-129%)	(4) Whenthedealinsdone 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Bath (5f, soft) in October. Absent/had wind op since and the betting may prove a useful guide on polytrack debut. Had wind surgery since last run; AW debutant who is well treated on best turf form.

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

TWILIGHT MADNESS, a C&D winner two starts ago, was only beaten a neck when second over 5f at Chelmsford on Thursday and he should be hard to beat off the same mark here. Laheg was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat, although King Cabo and Incrimination must not be underestimated on their returns.

LAHEG has been given a chance by the handicapper and ran well on the back of 8 months off latest start when third in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, that despite a poor start. He earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with the returning pair Incrimination and King Cabo heading the dangers.

Preference is for LAHEG (nap), ahead of Twilight Madness. Incrimination and Whenthedealinsdone are interesting types.

2 1st (2) (4/11 +10%) El Fabiolo	0.363636 4/11(+10%)	(2) El Fabiolo 4/11, Won 3 Grade 1 novice chases last spring (including C&D) and stretched his unbeaten record over fences to 5 in Cork Grade 2 on his reappearance. Likely has even bigger performances in him and can't be opposed. Cork should have knocked off the rough edges and none of his rivals here should test him.
5 2nd (5) (4/1 +20%) Dinoblue	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Dinoblue 4/1, Very smart chaser. 9/4, career best when winning 5-runner C&D Grade 1 (heavy) over Christmas by 7½ lengths from Gentleman De Mee, cruising clear. The obvious one to chase home El Fabiolo. Breakthrough Grade 1 win here at Christmas; the likeliest alternative to the favourite.
1 3rd (1) (16/1 -45%) Captain Guinness	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Captain Guinness 16/1, High-class chaser who made a winning reappearance at Navan in November but ran abysmally (subsequently found to be clinically abnormal) when pulled up in Grade 1 won by Dinoblue at the Christmas meeting. High class horse could make a bold bid from the front but likely to find a couple too good.
3 4th (3) (9/1 -13%) Gentleman De Mee	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Gentleman De Mee 9/1, High-class chaser. C&D winner. 11/2, creditable 7½ lengths second of 5 to Dinoblue in C&D Grade 1 last month but surely playing for minor honours again. Should come on for Christmas and have a good chance of chasing home the favourite.
4 5th (4) (66/1 -32%) Saint Roi	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) Saint Roi 66/1, Very smart chaser but ran poorly when distant third to Dinoblue in Grade 1 here over Christmas. Back on track with a creditable effort under a big weight in handicap company at Fairyhouse since but hard to see him being good enough back at the highest level. Fairly well exposed in three runs this season, including in a good handicap at Fairyhouse.

14:10 Leopardstown Conditions Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Star chaser EL FABIOLO had little difficulty of dispatching his rivals when landing the Grade 2 Hilly Way on his seasonal debut at Cork in December. Willie Mullins' speedster is hard to oppose on his current upward trajectory and he can complete a fourth Grade 1 victory over fences en route to the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham next month. The selection's stablemate Dinoblue impressed when landing a Grade 1 over C&D over Christmas and may put up most resistance, ahead of Captain Guinness.

In the absence of stablemate Energumene EL FABIOLO is very much the one to beat in the 2m chase division this season and he should have too much for his 4 rivals here. Dinoblue can fill the forecast spot.

Unbeaten chaser EL FABIOLO should have little difficulty in cementing his position as Champion Chaser-elect

3 1st (3) (11/2 +31%) Panjari	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(3) Panjari 11/2, Useful on Flat in Germany and has been very quick in getting the hang of hurdling, winning extended 2m Taunton novice and running well from a good prominent position in Cheltenham handicap in December. Let down by jumping when the headgear was left off here last time so can get back on track. German Flat form suggests he has come up a bit short as hurdler, particularly last time.
1 2nd (1) (11/4 +83%) Bertie's Ballet	2.75 11/4(+83%)	(1) Bertie's Ballet 11/4, Useful dual bumper winner who, having been given a considerate introduction to hurdling after 7 months off, went one better with a fair bit more in hand than the bare margin of victory suggests at Haydock (15.6f, heavy) just over 5 weeks ago. Should have more to offer. Won two bumpers and Haydock novice hurdle; this is a much harder task but he's promising.
6 3rd (6) (13/2 -189%) Titanium Moon	6.5 13/2(-189%)	(6) Titanium Moon 13/2, Failed to win in 4 outings on the Flat but on a roll over hurdles, not hard pressed to make it 4 novice wins in a row (all by wide margins) at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Open to further improvement, he holds leading claims again if ready to roll. Mopped up in summer novice races, wide-margin wins which make her a top contender on form.
5 4th (5) (18/1 -13%) Whistle Stop Tour	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Whistle Stop Tour 18/1, Winning Irish pointer who also made a successful start over hurdles in a Hexham novice (16.2f) in October. Has failed to kick on as anticipated on both subsequent starts however, well hell on handicap debut at Haydock (18.9f, heavy) just over 6 weeks ago. Others preferred. Soundly beaten on heavy ground at Haydock last time; needs to resume progress.
4 5th (4) (4/1 +0%) Recoup	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Recoup 4/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France. Joined new yard for 55,000 gns and made the perfect start to hurdling career after 5 months in 16-runner novice at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) in October, edging ahead final 50 yds. Open to improvement, so warrants plenty of respect for a top yard. Fairly useful Flat form in France; won hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) October.
2 6th (2) (2/1 +27%) Hypotenus	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Hypotenus 2/1, Wide-margin winner on first start for this yard in maiden hurdle at Gowran in September but hasn't built on that, not really suited by the way the race developed when 12½ lengths third of 6 to Risk Belle in Grade 3 at Fairyhouse a couple of months ago. This easier but must jump better. His jumping is still not that great but he's an each-way player on form.

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

TITANIUM MOON absolutely breezed through a series of challenges to register four wins on the bounce last year. Having gone well fresh in the past, the Donald McCain-trained mare still has untapped potential and, given she is favoured by the weights, could be hard to beat if picking up where she left off last summer. Irish raider Hypotenus has been highly tried since winning a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last September but cannot be ruled out now dropped in class. Panjari completes the shortlist.

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for RECOUP, who pulled well clear with a subsequent winner on his yard/hurdling debut at Ludlow back in October and Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o should have plenty more to offer in this sphere. Titanium Moon wasn't hard pressed to make it 4 novice wins in a row when last seen at Stratford 6 months ago, so she's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Hypotenus, who is clearly talented but needs to learn to jump better.

Ex-French Flat winner RECOUP is taken to follow up his Ludlow win. Titanium Moon and Hypotenus are feared most.

Makes polytrack debut and could do better still, so strong claims. 2-2 on AW; gained those wins at Newcastle (Listed/handicap) but still has to be feared.
5 2nd (5) (5/4 +9%) Nine Tenths	1.25 5/4(+9%)	(5) Nine Tenths 5/4, Smart filly. Two wins from 4 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 2/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 34 days ago, conceding first run. Makes polytrack debut. Makes most appeal. Progressive filly who is ready for a crack at 1m and has the best chance at the weights.
3 3rd (3) (7/1 -27%) Diderot	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Diderot 7/1, Useful gelding. Course winner. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 14/1) 52 days ago. Should give another good account for all that he has a bit to find. Chelmsford win took AW record to 4-14 and tees him up nicely for a crack at Listed grade.
1 4th (1) (9/1 -64%) Bopedro	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Bopedro 9/1, Smart gelding. Latest win at Newmarket in August. Respectable fourth of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft, 10/1), left poorly placed. Off 106 days. Makes polytrack debut. Useful on turf but he's the only runner who has no AW form; belated debut in this sphere.
4 5th (4) (150/1 +0%) Maysan	150 150/1(+0%)	(4) Maysan 150/1, Fairly useful filly. C&D winner. Winner here in January. Last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 12/1) 14 days ago. Out of her depth in this. Scored over C&D on penultimate start but has easily the worst chance at the weights.

The combination of wind and gelding procedures appeared to rejuvenate DEAR MY FRIEND, who was quite taking when landing a handicap at Newcastle on New Year's Day. Charlie Johnston's inmate looks ready for this return to Listed company and he could get the better of potential improver Nine Tenths, who might relish this step up to a mile. Diderot and Bopedro also have the form to go close.

NINE TENTHS has marginally the best form and was better than the result when second at Newcastle a month ago, so he takes preference over Dear My Friend, who took a marked step forward to score at the same course last time. Bopedro also has form claims.

The upped-in-trip NINE TENTHS could well show the best turn of foot in what may prove a tactical affair. Dear My Friend is feared.

Admirable sort but likely to struggle judged on this term's clashes with the Mullins elite.
4 1st (4) (2/5 -21%) State Man	0.4 2/5(-21%)	(4) State Man 2/5, No match for Constitution Hill in last season's Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham but that's his only defeat in his last 10 starts, winning a second successive Morgiana at Punchestown and Matheson Hurdle at this C&D this winter. Also took this 12 months ago so he's very much the one to beat. No match for Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle, has otherwise answered every call.
1 2nd (1) (11/1 -10%) Bob Olinger	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Bob Olinger 11/1, High-class chaser who has reverted to hurdles this term, going 2-2 in 4-runner Relkeel Hurdle (6/4) at Cheltenham (20.2f, soft) 34 days ago by 7 lengths from Marie's Rock. Shouldn't be underestimated. Restored to something like his old self this term, vulnerable over this trip in this grade.
3 3rd (3) (10/3 +17%) Impaire Et Passe	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(3) Impaire Et Passe 10/3, Unbeaten over hurdles last term, including victories in the Ballymore at Cheltenham and Grade 1 Champion Novice at Punchestown (19f). Shaped well when second in Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse (2½m) and Matheson Hurdle at this C&D (beaten 3¼ lengths by State Man) this winter. Player. Two defeats this season have dented his reputation, no match for State Man at Christmas.
5 4th (5) (28/1 -40%) Echoes In Rain	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Echoes In Rain 28/1, Smart hurdler. Not disgraced when 11¼ lengths third of 4 to State Man in Matheson Hurdle at this C&D (soft, 18/1) 37 days ago. Much respected.

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

STATE MAN and Impaire Et Passe met over C&D at the Christmas meeting and the former, who took this prize 12 months ago, ran out a ready three-and-a-quarter-length winner, doing so with his usual understated dominance. With that in mind, Paul Townend's mount is expected to confirm those placings en route to another mouthwatering clash with Constitution Hill at Prestbury Park next month. Bob Olinger has looked much more like his old self and landed the Relkeel over an extended 2m4f at Cheltenham on New Year's Day, although even on his best form, he still has a lot to find to trouble the selection.

STATE MAN has found only the mighty Constitution Hill too good in his last ten outings and took this prize 12 months ago so is hard to oppose. Stablemate Impaire Et Passe chased home the selection in the Matheson over C&D last time and again rates second best ahead of Bob Olinger and Echoes In Rain.

This is likely to play put in the much the same way as the Matheson at Christmas when STATE MAN beat Impaire Et Passe decisively

5 \|F\| (5) (22/1 -120%) Chinx Of Light	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Chinx Of Light 22/1, 33/1, hinted at a revival when seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.9f, soft) 84 days ago, not knocked about. Can take a step forward. 13 months off before well held over 2m4f this autumn, but he's now back up in trip.
8 10th (8) (40/1 -60%) Building Bridges	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Building Bridges 40/1, A dual winner this season and not disgraced when ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (19.9f, good to soft) 100 days ago. Possibilities. Won at Down Royal (2m4f) and Galway (2m6f) last summer; lesser show at Cheltenham October.
9 11th (9) (9/1 +55%) Silent Revolution	9 9/1(+55%)	(9) Silent Revolution 9/1, Had wind op/tongue strap on for 1st time when respectabe third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (20.5f, soft) 36 days ago, finding little. No surprise to see him bounce back. Questions to answer, including over new trip, but he has edged down the weights.
4 12th (4) (14/1 +0%) Wakool	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Wakool 14/1, C&D winner who posted a solid second of 4 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) 33 days ago. Can go well again. Good record at this track, including second and fourth in the last two renewals of this.
2 \|PU\| (2) (4/1 +0%) Absolute Notions	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Absolute Notions 4/1, Irish raider who easily landed 3-runner conditions hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, heavy) 89 days ago. Player now going into handicaps with few miles on the clock. Staying-on second in Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m6f, yielding) on this day last year.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Grade 1 runner-up ABSOLUTE NOTIONS' current mark of 143 may underestimate his true ability and he could have too much class on this first foray into handicap company. Smart Flat performer Almuhit catches the eye at the foot of the weights and sustained market support for Emmet Mullins' charge now upped in distance would bring the five-year-old into calculations. Springwell Bay and last-time-out winners Curley Finger and Imaginary Dragon are worthy of consideration too.

A case can be made for plenty of these but Gordon Elliott's ABSOLUTE NOTIONS appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps so is fancied to follow up his Fairyhouse success after a break. Fellow Irish challenger Carnfunnock figures on a handy-looking mark so must enter calculations, while a solid case can also be made for Doncaster-victor Peking Rose and C&D winner Wakool.

Irish challengers Absolute Notions and ALMUHIT catch the eye in a major way. Imaginary Dragon is also shortlisted.

15:12 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (7/4 +36%) Diligent Harry	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(5) Diligent Harry 7/4, C&D winner (also second to Annaf in this last year) who underlined his effectiveness on AW when winning a valuable 6f event at Newcastle last Easter. Ended his 2023 campaign with a creditable fourth in 6f York listed in September. Should go well from the inside stall. Only a neck behind Annaf 12 months ago and now gets 5lb pull; 5-9 on AW; big player.
1 2nd (1) (2/1 +50%) Annaf	2 2/1(+50%)	(1) Annaf 2/1, Edged out Diligent Harry in this last year and somewhat belatedly showed he's equally as effective on turf with wins in the Portland at Doncaster and Group 3 Bengough at Ascot in the autumn. His penalty is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid to defend his crown. Has a record of 5-10 on AW and 5-7 under Rossa Ryan; successful in this race last year.
2 3rd (2) (10/3 -21%) Willem Twee	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(2) Willem Twee 10/3, Smart gelding who took it up another notched when landing a 6f C&D listed under Oisin Murphy in November. Looks a Group-race sprinter in the making. Player. Won similar event over C&D 11 weeks ago; open to further progress; has to be feared.
4 4th (4) (8/1 -191%) Coachello	8 8/1(-191%)	(4) Coachello 8/1, Has recorded smart performances when winning handicaps here (7f) and Newcastle (6f) this winter. Caught too far back when fifth of 6 at Kempton latest and treated as if still in form. Latest effort can be excused; 2-2 under David Egan; leading contender on these terms.
6 5th (6) (22/1 +12%) Summerghand	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Summerghand 22/1, C&D listed winner who added to his impressive career haul when dead-heating in valuable 6f handicap at York's Ebor meeting last year. Respectable fourth at Kempton in December and race not run to suit at Newcastle latest. Veteran who has something to find on the balance of recent form.
7 6th (7) (40/1 -150%) The X O	40 40/1(-150%)	(7) The X O 40/1, Dual AW winner who posted a useful effort when second in 6f Ascot Group 3 last May. However, he finished down the field in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot the following month and hasn't been seen since. Absent since struggling at Royal Ascot; progressive otherwise, mostly on AW; interesting.

15:12 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ANNAF capped off a fruitful campaign with a victory in the Bengough Stakes at Ascot in October, having previously landed the Portland, and the King's Stand third can successfully concede weight to his rivals now eased in class. Coachello may have found that his fifth-placed finish at Kempton came too soon, just four days on from a Newcastle triumph. Gordon Elliott's raider could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Willem Twee and Diligent Harry.

DILIGENT HARRY was narrowly denied by Annaf in this 12 months ago but meets Mick Appleby's charge on 5 lb better terms this time and, from a good draw, might be able to turn the tables with Ryan Moore taking the reins on him for the first time. The progressive William Twee is another who should play a prominent role in a good renewal of this listed prize.

Armed with a 5lb pull, last year's runner-up DILIGENT HARRY could well go one better and reverse placings with Annaf.

Form	Odds	Runs
16 1st (16) (6/1 +14%) Heart Wood	6 6/1(+14%)	(16) Heart Wood 6/1, French recruit who's been runner-up in maiden chases all 3 starts for this yard. Remains with potential now handicapping. Handicapper has not taken many chances with his mark; the choice of Blackmore; respected.
15 2nd (15) (50/1 -100%) Riaan	50 50/1(-100%)	(15) Riaan 50/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Wexford in August. Creditable 1¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Percy Warner in handicap chase at Cork (21f, soft, 7/1) 70 days ago. Good run at Cork when last seen; could have enough potential progression to run well here.
4 3rd (4) (4/1 +20%) James Du Berlais	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) James Du Berlais 4/1, Better for return when good 10 lengths fourth of 27 to Meetingofthewaters in handicap chase (12/1) at this course (24.4f, heavy) 39 days ago. Likely to continue in form. Good run in the Paddy Power; drop in trip should suit and looks a leading player here.
17 4th (17) (22/1 -10%) Cool Survivor	22 22/1(-10%)	(17) Cool Survivor 22/1, Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. Went close in Limerick maiden chase on return but hasn't kicked on since. Makes handicap chase debut. Twice soundly beaten at Punchestown behind top Mullins novices; others preferred.
20 5th (20) (18/1 +10%) Good Time Jonny	18 18/1(+10%)	(20) Good Time Jonny 18/1, In top form in valuable handicap hurdles at the big festivals during the spring, winning Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in March. However, he again failed to shine back over fences at Fairyhouse on his reappearance and no better at Naas since. Hurdles form should give him a real chance off this mark; hard to fancy on current form.
21 6th (21) (40/1 -150%) Percy Warner	40 40/1(-150%)	(21) Percy Warner 40/1, 15/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Cork (21f, soft) 70 days ago, keeping on well. Possibly more to come given he's still lightly raced. Decisive winner of a 2m5f handicap chase at Cork in November (Riaan third); 2lb wrong.
5 7th (5) (18/1 -50%) Adamantly Chosen	18 18/1(-50%)	(5) Adamantly Chosen 18/1, Below form 32½ lengths tenth of 27 to Meetingofthewaters in handicap chase (11/1) at this course (24.4f, heavy) 39 days ago. Seemingly passed over by Townend. Ran better than his finishing position in the Paddy Power; others look more likely though.
25 8th (25) (50/1 -100%) Top Ville Ben	50 50/1(-100%)	(25) Top Ville Ben 50/1, Ran a cracker when third in this last season but struggled in competitive handicaps at the big festivals during the spring. Step back in the right direction when second of 4 in handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f, heavy) 40 days ago. Not taken lightly. Second in a four-runner contest at Aintree over Christmas but much more needed here.
12 9th (12) (11/2 +8%) Inothewayurthinkin	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(12) Inothewayurthinkin 11/2, Useful hurdler and better form over fences this season, 7 lengths third of 5 to Gaelic Warrior in Faugheen Novices' Chase at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 38 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap chase debut and should do better. Opening mark of 144 over fences is no gimme but could well be capable of running up to it.
23 \|F\| (23) (16/1 -78%) Perceval Legallois	16 16/1(-78%)	(23) Perceval Legallois 16/1, Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. Well-beaten last of 5 to I Am Maximus in Drinmore Novices' Chase (28/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 63 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Jumping will be tested in this big field. Effectively running off his hurdles mark and he can get involved with better jumping.
22 \|F\| (22) (22/1 -10%) Chavez	22 22/1(-10%)	(22) Chavez 22/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap chase (5/1) at Fairyhouse (17.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Ran well despite some poor jumping in the Dan and Joan Moore at Fairyhouse; 3lb wrong.
14 \|F\| (14) (25/1 -25%) Watch House Cross	25 25/1(-25%)	(14) Watch House Cross 25/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Below form well-beaten eleventh of 27 to Meetingofthewaters in handicap chase at this course (24.4f, heavy, 14/1) 39 days ago. Others more persuasive. Ran okay previously in the Troytown despite some sketchy jumping; not a forlorn hope.
18 \|F\| (18) (66/1 +0%) Drumbear	66 66/1(+0%)	(18) Drumbear 66/1, Useful winner in novice chase at Limerick last season but below par 3 starts since. Beaten out of sight in a Listed handicap hurdle at Navan two weeks ago; up against it here.
10 \|U\| (10) (14/1 -133%) Meetingofthewaters	14 14/1(-133%)	(10) Meetingofthewaters 14/1, Smart chaser who posted a career best when winning 27-runner handicap chase here (24.4f, heavy, 6/1) 39 days ago, forging clear. Hood on 1st time. Should continue to give a good account. Hood tried here but a very progressive chaser and could well go close off 15lb higher.
13 \|U\| (13) (14/1 +13%) Hollow Games	14 14/1(+13%)	(13) Hollow Games 14/1, Good third in Galway Plate on return but below par on heavy ground next 2 starts. Could bounce back. more at home over this trip than the Paddy Power; choice of Jack Kennedy; each-way chance.
24 \|U\| (24) (28/1 -12%) Birchdale	28 28/1(-12%)	(24) Birchdale 28/1, C&D winner. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner minor event chase at Punchestown (24f, soft, 5/2) 70 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. More needed here. Easily won a banks race at Punchestown in November; should be primed for a big run again.
1 10th (1) (11/1 +56%) Fakir D'oudairies	11 11/1(+56%)	(1) Fakir D'oudairies 11/1, High-class Irish chaser who was a respectable second in Melling Chase (had won previous two renewals) at Aintree on final start last season. Made a respectable comeback at Cheltenham and should come on for that. Down to a good mark if he could find his best but looks best watched for now.
9 11th (9) (22/1 -57%) Lucid Dreams	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Lucid Dreams 22/1, Decent strike rate and good second of 11 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give another good account. Good novice; couid well be best at 2m but stays this trip and likely to be thereabouts.
8 12th (8) (33/1 -65%) Indiana Jones	33 33/1(-65%)	(8) Indiana Jones 33/1, Seems to have put his jumping issues behind him and picked up a couple of novice chase wins last season, notably a Grade 3 at Navan (2m) in March. Better for return when fourth in Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter in November, albeit never threatened. Not the easiest to weigh up but no surprise if he could run a big race off this mark.
6 13th (6) (50/1 -25%) Embittered	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Embittered 50/1, Latest win in chase at Navan in December. Pulled up in handicap chase at this course (24.4f, heavy, 66/1) 39 days ago won by Meetingofthewaters. Pulled up in the Paddy Power; this trip should suit better but not the most consistent.
19 14th (19) (80/1 -21%) Fire Attack	80 80/1(-21%)	(19) Fire Attack 80/1, Below par this season, eighth of 10 in handicap chase (22/1) at this course (17f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Back up in trip. Has work to do. Well beaten in two chases for Gordon Elliott and very hard to make a case for at present.
3 15th (3) (50/1 +0%) Vanillier	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Vanillier 50/1, Smart chaser (second in Grand National in April). However, down the field both starts this season and others more persuasive. Could do better over this trip but this is very much a stepping stone back towards Aintree.
11 16th (11) (100/1 -52%) El Barra	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) El Barra 100/1, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins but he's hard to warm to on the back of 2 dismal efforts for new yard. Three-time winner over fences but pulled up in both runs this season and up against it.
2 \|PU\| (2) (8/1 +50%) Classic Getaway	8 8/1(+50%)	(2) Classic Getaway 8/1, High-class chaser. Career best when winning 6-runner listed chase at Thurles (22f, good to soft, 15/2) on return. Unable to land odds in Grade 3 at Tramore on New Year's Day but ground might have been too testing. Well worth another chance off what looks an attractive opening mark. Turned over in a Tramore Listed last month; would need a career best to win off this mark.
7 \|PU\| (7) (22/1 -38%) Busselton	22 22/1(-38%)	(7) Busselton 22/1, 33/1, good 12½ lengths sixth of 27 to Meetingofthewaters in handicap chase at this course (24.4f, heavy) 39 days ago. More required again. Sixth in the Paddy Power here; could come on again for that and might not be far away.

15:20 Leopardstown Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JAMES DU BERLAIS ran a fine race in defeat when fourth to Meetingofthewaters in the Paddy Power Chase here over 3m and the eight-year-old, who is 14lb better off with his stablemate, boasts strong credentials in his attempt to reverse the form, especially now dropping in trip. Inothewayurthinkin has shown promise on all three chase starts and warrants plenty of respect on his handicap debut, while similar comments apply to Heart Wood. Others for the shortlist include Indiana Jones, Perceval Legallois and Adamantly Chosen.

CLASSIC GETAWAY was unable to land the odds in a Grade 3 at Tramore on New Year's Day but he went like the best horse at the weights before seemingly stretched by conditions so is well worth another chance off what looks a fair opening mark. This is typically competitive, though, with Meetingofthewaters and Heart Wood heading the dangers.

The one to beat could be PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS, effectively running off his hurdles mark here,though he needs to jump better than last time

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (11/2 +31%) Corrigeen Rock	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(4) Corrigeen Rock 11/2, Took another step forward when making winning return from 6 months off at Kempton (18f) in October and creditable effort when fourth in stronger company at Ascot (16.7f) since. Suited by step up in trip when second (clear of rest) over C&D 5 weeks ago and he's a player up only 1 lb. Ran on well into a good second of nine over C&D last time; more to offer at the trip.
2 2nd (2) (10/3 +5%) Thunder Rock	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(2) Thunder Rock 10/3, Four-time hurdle winner who has developed into a smart chaser, readily taking a small-field Carlisle listed event on reappearance. Failed to cope with the sterner examination of a top-level handicap at Cheltenham next time but back down in class here with headgear applied. Favourite in Cheltenham Grade 3 handicap but soon struggled with jumping; cheekpieces now.
7 3rd (7) (7/2 -5%) Outlaw Peter	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(7) Outlaw Peter 7/2, Enjoyed a productive novice hurdle season, winning 3 times. Won a match race on his chase debut/reappearance at Newton Abbot in September and much improved when second at Kempton on Boxing Day. Surely has more to offer as a chaser. Second at Kempton (2m4f, good) on Boxing Day was his best show over fences; back up 3lb.
1 4th (1) (8/1 +0%) Tommy's Oscar	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Tommy's Oscar 8/1, Smart hurdler and even better over fences, winning Grade 2 at Doncaster last term. Better than ever when making a winning return at Kelso before shaping as if still in good form in a muddling Old Roan. Disappointed back over hurdles since but expected to bounce back. Has a bit more to prove judged on his few appearances under rules over this sort of trip.
5 5th (5) (3/1 +14%) Petit Tonnerre	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Petit Tonnerre 3/1, Useful hurdler who has looked a work in progress over fences this winter, again unconvincing with his jumping back in a handicap at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago. Back up in trip now but opposable up against seasoned campaigners. Lots of useful form in defeat; first season chasing but he has to be in calculations.
6 6th (6) (17/2 -42%) Frero Banbou	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(6) Frero Banbou 17/2, Winless for over 2 years but hard to knock his consistency this term, again jumping/travelling fluently when second in a better race than this at Cheltenham (20.6f) on New Year's Day. Lost all chance with a mid-race blunder at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and worth another chance. Running with great credit this season until an early mistake cost him two weeks ago.
3 7th (3) (33/1 -32%) A Wave Of The Sea	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) A Wave Of The Sea 33/1, Useful handicap chaser for Joseph Patrick O'Brien, in frame in Galway Plate and Munster National this season. However, has failed to complete both starts for this yard so has questions to answer. Third run for new yard; on a 16-race losing sequence but a case can be made.
8 \|PU\| (8) (28/1 -75%) Arthur's Quay	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Arthur's Quay 28/1, Won 3 on the bounce last winter and back on the scoresheet with a decisive display at Cartmel (21.2f) in July. Followed up at Caterick 5 months later but that looked a thin handicap by 0-130 standards so has work to do up 3 lb in better race. Up another 4lb and in class but he's going great guns and is on a hat-trick.

15:35 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

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

TOMMY'S OSCAR was far from disgraced when fourth in the Old Roan at Aintree in late October. The son of Oscar is unexposed over this extended 2m4f trip and December's spin over hurdles at Doncaster should have put him spot on for this. Thunder Rock boasted a progressive profile prior to his latest flop at Cheltenham and the eight-year-old is feared most, ahead of an in-form Outlaw Peter.

The classy TOMMY'S OSCAR often keep better company than this and has looked better than ever over fences this season, so can defy top weight. Frero Banbou lost all chance with a bad blunder at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and remains of interest, while Corrigeen Rock surely has more to offer over this trip after his good second over C&D on New Year's Day.

In a competitive race preference is for CORRIGEEN ROCK who may be able to step up on his C&D second last time. Outlaw Peter is next.

1 1st (1) (10/3 -33%) Brave Empire	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(1) Brave Empire 10/3, Useful form when winning minor events at Windsor and Redcar in the summer but was below expectations when down the field on handicap debut at Newcastle on New Year's Day (race won by Blue Prince). In good hands and still rates as worth another chance. Disappointing favourite on reappearance but may still have more to offer.
5 2nd (5) (9/4 +10%) Roman Emperor	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(5) Roman Emperor 9/4, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the third time of asking in 8-runner minor event at Southwell (6.1f) last month and backed that up with a good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/2) 15 days ago. Should go well again. Good second in C&D handicap two weeks ago; improving sort who warrants respect.
3 3rd (3) (6/4 +14%) Blue Prince	1.5 6/4(+14%)	(3) Blue Prince 6/4, Progressed well since joining this yard, landing a Southwell nursery in December before following up in 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 34 days ago. Plenty to like about that effort and he's the one to beat bidding for the hat-trick. Bids for a hat-trick, having won at Southwell/Newcastle the last twice; has to be feared.
2 4th (2) (18/1 -50%) G'day Mate	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) G'day Mate 18/1, Won a Bellewstown maiden last summer for Mrs J. Harrington before coming up short in pattern company. Last of 10 (place behind Blue Prince) in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 34 days ago and others are preferred, for all it's still early days with a shrewd yard. Still has something to prove at this trip; second run for new yard.
4 5th (4) (8/1 +33%) World Of Darcy	8 8/1(+33%)	(4) World Of Darcy 8/1, Cashed in on drop in class at Nottingham in October and wasn't disgraced when 6¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Purosangue in listed race at York (6f, soft) 3 days later. Not of the scopiest of sorts, so remains to be seen how well he trains on making handicap debut. Fairly useful on turf; 1-1 under Rossa Ryan; interesting on AW/handicap debut.

15:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

WORLD OF DARCY was well beaten in Group 3 and Listed company either side of a novice-race victory at Nottingham towards the back end of last season. However, in a handicap for the first time and now gelded, he is fancied to get his three-year-old campaign off to a flyer. The hat-trick seeking Blue Prince rates as the main danger, even though he finds himself on a career-high mark. Brave Empire also warrants consideration, but he needs to bounce back from a laboured comeback at Newcastle.

BLUE PRINCE had 2 of today's rivals behind when scoring at Newcastle on New Year's Day and looks up to completing a hat-trick from a 4 lb higher mark. Brave Empire was beaten at short odds in the contest but was returning from a 6-month absence and remains of interest from a mark in the mid-90s, whilst Roman Emperor built on his novice win with a sound effort in a C&D handicap last time and also merits respect.

John Ryan holds a robust hand with the improving ROMAN EMPEROR and interesting World Of Darcy.

Form	Odds	Runs
21 1st (21) (40/1 -100%) Lord Erskine	40 40/1(-100%)	(21) Lord Erskine 40/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Navan (20f, heavy) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Performing well over hurdles; strong pace will suit and could go well at a big price.
9 2nd (9) (5/1 +29%) Magical Zoe	5 5/1(+29%)	(9) Magical Zoe 5/1, Scored at Gowran on return before posting a very good 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Irish Point in Jezki Hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 11/10) 86 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Player off a handy-looking mark. Lost little in defeat behind the smart Irish Point latest; could go well off this mark.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 -71%) Zenta	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Zenta 12/1, 5¾ lengths third of 5 to Silent Approach in Gr 2 chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy, 6/4) on debut over fences 56 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. No forlorn hope on her handicap hurdle debut. Grade 1 winner back over hurdles off a mark which could be exploitable; interesting runner.
14 4th (14) (5/1 +69%) So Scottish	5 5/1(+69%)	(14) So Scottish 5/1, 5/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fell 4 out in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 50 days ago when still going strongly. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. 9lb better in over hurdles and of obvious interest if the market speaks in his favour.
13 5th (13) (28/1 -133%) The Model Kingdom	28 28/1(-133%)	(13) The Model Kingdom 28/1, Respectable 15 lengths eighth of 13 to One Last Tango in handicap hurdle (14/1) at this C&D (heavy) 39 days ago. Not entirely dismissed. Travels well in her races but has found little for pressure in the past; others preferred.
19 6th (19) (33/1 -32%) Sir Allen	33 33/1(-32%)	(19) Sir Allen 33/1, 5/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 37 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and no forlorn hope. Has struggled a little in his second season over flights and a tongue-tie is tried here.
15 7th (15) (14/1 +13%) By Your Side	14 14/1(+13%)	(15) By Your Side 14/1, Good 4¼ lengths second of 13 to One Last Tango in handicap hurdle (11/1) at this C&D (heavy) 39 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Boasts very solid form; tends to come late and needs to get there late; could be an answer.
20 8th (20) (40/1 -60%) Doyen Ta Win	40 40/1(-60%)	(20) Doyen Ta Win 40/1, Third of 4 in minor event hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy, 17/2) 24 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Not discounted. Has struggled since returning snd not at her best at Clonmel last time; up against it here.
2 9th (2) (50/1 -100%) Call Me Lyreen	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Call Me Lyreen 50/1, Took this prize in 2022 but only twelfth of 13 to One Last Tango in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 39 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Below par on his return to action here over Christmas and might just be best watched.
7 \|B\| (7) (13/2 +54%) Bialystok	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(7) Bialystok 13/2, Respectable 2¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Farren Glory in Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle (6/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 63 days ago, not ideally placed. Yard in good form. Ought to be in the shake-up. Good run in the Grade 1 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse last time; should contend here.
10 \|B\| (10) (33/1 -65%) Palace Rock	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Palace Rock 33/1, 3/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 23 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Second in a 1m4f Dundalk handicap last month;ran poorly against Magic Tricks at Down Royal.
16 \|F\| (16) (11/2 +31%) Ataboycharlie	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(16) Ataboycharlie 11/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Career best when winning 23-runner handicap hurdle (17/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 40 days ago, responding well. Should improve. In the picture. 12lb penalty to contend with here but very unlikely that we have seen the best of him.
22 \|U\| (22) (40/1 -60%) Morning Soldier	40 40/1(-60%)	(22) Morning Soldier 40/1, 17/2, creditable second of 7 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Needs considering. Best recent effort when second in a 2m handicap hurdle at Cork last month; more needed.
12 10th (12) (16/1 -100%) One Last Tango	16 16/1(-100%)	(12) One Last Tango 16/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 4/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 39 days ago by 4¼ lengths from By Your Side, driven out. Merits consideration. Up 9lb for winning here but going the right way once again and shouldn't be far away.
17 11th (17) (17/2 +39%) Conyers Hill	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(17) Conyers Hill 17/2, Respectable 12 lengths fifth of 13 to One Last Tango in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy, 9/2) 39 days ago, left poorly placed. Can give a good account. Below his best here at Christmas; no surprise if he was a contender here at his best.
1 12th (1) (20/1 -25%) Magic Tricks	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Magic Tricks 20/1, Latest win in hurdle at Down Royal in November. 15/2, respectable 10¼ lengths fourth of 19 to Common Practice in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 63 days ago. Possibilities. Claimer gets on well with him and likely to run well despite his impost.
3 13th (3) (50/1 -213%) Brazil	50 50/1(-213%)	(3) Brazil 50/1, Twenty eighth of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (16.8f, heavy, 15/2). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Pulled up on last hurdle outing so lots more is required. Not seen since down the field in the Irish Cesarewitch; claims on his best form.
11 14th (11) (25/1 -79%) Fortunedefortunata	25 25/1(-79%)	(11) Fortunedefortunata 25/1, Latest win in hurdle at Navan in November. Creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Navan (20f, heavy) 15 days ago. Shortlisted. Up another 2lb for his third at Navan last time and that makes this a tough assignment.
5 15th (5) (80/1 -142%) Andy Dufresne	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Andy Dufresne 80/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Visored for 1st time, sixth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, heavy, 25/1) 35 days ago. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Five career wins but out of form for some time and looks up against it here.
6 16th (6) (8/1 +20%) An Tobar	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) An Tobar 8/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 14¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Readin Tommy Wrong in Lawlor's of Naas Novices' Hurdle at Naas (20f, soft, 8/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Not ruled out on his handicap hurdle debut. Maybe failed to stay in the Grade 1 at Naas last month; interesting in his first handicap.
4 17th (4) (33/1 -230%) Common Practice	33 33/1(-230%)	(4) Common Practice 33/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 19-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 14/1) 63 days ago by 1¾ lengths from By Your Side. In the mix. Good winner of a Listed handicap at Fairyhouse last time; should go well off 9lb higher.

15:50 Leopardstown Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SO SCOTTISH was still going well when falling four out in the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham on his most recent outing. It would be no surprise to see the seven-year-old bounce back to winning ways now switched to hurdles off a comparatively lenient mark. Little separated An Tobar and Bialystok when third and fourth in the Royal Bond and both have to be respected. Magical Zoe is another with strong form claims, with the shortlist completed by Zenta and Common Practice.

MAGICAL ZOE arrives on the up and looks to have got in lightly for her handicap bow so Henry de Bromhead's mare edges the vote. So Scottish reverts to hurdles having come down late when still going well at Cheltenham last time and s next on the list with in-form pair Bialystok and Common Practice along with C&D scorer Ataboycharlie also in the mix in this highly competitive event.

Preference is for the unexposed ATABOYCHARLIE(nap), up 9lb for winning a competitive handicap here at Christmas with more likely to come

16:05 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (7/2 +13%) Welsh Charger	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(3) Welsh Charger 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler who enhanced good strike (3-6) when landing 9-runner Market Rasen handicap (18.6f) 6 weeks ago. Handicapper applies a little more pressure but that opened up more options trip-wise and he's one to consider. Won at Market Rasen (extended 2m2f) in his second handicap; new trip but he has potential.
7 2nd (7) (4/1 +33%) Lihyan	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Lihyan 4/1, Gained first success for present yard over C&D in December and possible he'd of won had he jumped better when ¾-length second of 8 to Duyfken back here 4 weeks ago. Mark has crept up but possibilities in present groove. Revival on last two outings for C&D win and C&D second to Duyfken; back up another 5lb.
6 3rd (6) (6/1 -9%) Duyfken	6 6/1(-9%)	(6) Duyfken 6/1, Signed off last term with a win at Perth and built on pair of placed efforts this term when resuming winning ways over C&D 4 weeks ago, making all and finding extra to fend off Lihyan by ¾ length. Still unexposed at this sort of trip so not discounted from 6 lb higher mark. Progressive, upped from 2m when making all to see off Lihyan in eight-runner C&D handicap.
5 4th (5) (12/1 +14%) Lone Star	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Lone Star 12/1, Had a productive time in 2022/23, scoring 5 times (twice over C&D). Best effort of present campaign when third back here in November and testing ground probably caught her out at Aintree when last seen in December. Likely type to bounce back. Mopped up in mares' handicaps last term, including over C&D, but this season is a worry.
12 5th (12) (7/1 +50%) Faithfulflyer	7 7/1(+50%)	(12) Faithfulflyer 7/1, Had a productive first season for Sandy Thomson, scoring twice, and good third of 7 on return at Kelso in October. Lesser efforts here/Newcastle followed towards the end of last year but eased in weights and player from this mark on pick of his form if bouncing back. Respectable reappearance before two backward steps; well treated if back to his best.
13 6th (13) (3/1 +40%) Impact Du Bonheur	3 3/1(+40%)	(13) Impact Du Bonheur 3/1, Bought for €90,000 after winning the third of 3 bumper starts in France. Some promise over hurdles for new yard and he looked unsuited by the way the race developed when last of 7 on handicap debut at Sandown in December. Not one to write off for top yard with cheekpieces now enlisted. French bumper winner; well beaten all three British races, last of seven on handicap debut.
11 7th (11) (50/1 -100%) Whelans Bridge	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Whelans Bridge 50/1, Showed ability in points and modest form over hurdles in 2022. Easy to back and dropped away quickly on belated return/handicap debut at Ayr (20.5f, soft) in December and tongue tie now reached for having undergone wind surgery. Pulled up on handicap debut (33-1) after 435 days off; had wind surgery soon afterwards.
1 8th (1) (22/1 -38%) Voix Du Reve	22 22/1(-38%)	(1) Voix Du Reve 22/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when winning at Ayr in April and confirmed he retains plenty of zest on his first 2 starts this term, a shuddering error as he made his move ending his chance here in November. Seemingly not 100% at Aintree a month later but the assessor has given him a chance. 12yo who is 5lb lower than for Ayr win (2m4f, good) last Apri; excuses on last two runs.
14 9th (14) (40/1 -21%) Diamond State	40 40/1(-21%)	(14) Diamond State 40/1, Goes well here and he's on an attractive mark but there are no real positives to take from what he's shown in 2 starts following a wind op. Steps back up in trip now. All his three wins have been at this track but he currently has questions to answer.
4 10th (4) (50/1 -150%) Cardamon Hill	50 50/1(-150%)	(4) Cardamon Hill 50/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Fair efforts first 2 starts in handicap chases for present yard but subsequent efforts in that sphere have been underwhelming. Returns to timber now with a bit to prove. Major backward steps last two starts; back hurdling, for the first time since last March.
9 11th (9) (25/1 -108%) Les's Legacy	25 25/1(-108%)	(9) Les's Legacy 25/1, Three-time hurdle winner last season. Hasn't quite matched that form in 2 runs over fences but step back in right direction (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 8 to Duyfken in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 30 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Well beaten in first-time cheekpieces behind Duyfken and Lihyan over C&D back over hurdles.
10 12th (10) (14/1 -40%) Dance Thief	14 14/1(-40%)	(10) Dance Thief 14/1, Point winner who has improved for switch to handicaps in this sphere, runner-up over this sort of trip at Carlisle before filling same spot at Ayr (18f) 46 days ago. This tougher but he remains less exposed than most. 1-7 in points; 0-6 over hurdles, taking second in handicaps (2m3f/2m2f) on last two starts.

16:05 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A step up in trip saw DUYFKEN return to the winner's enclosure over C&D last month when getting the better of Lihyan, and Nick Alexander's gelding appears to be capable of backing that performance up. The aforementioned Lihyan is expected to be in the mix once again, while others who are likely to be competitive include Welsh Charger and Sleeping Satellite.

Plenty to ponder in an interesting handicap with SLEEPING SATELLITE earning the vote. Donald McCain's 6-y-o showed improved form when runner-up at Doncaster last month, finding only another well-treated sort too strong, and this longer trip could well unlock further progress. Impact du Bonheur needs considering also for Paul Nicholls, with Welsh Charger and recent C&D 1-2 Duyfken and Lihyan completing the shortlist.

There is surely more improvement to come from last-time-out winners WELSH CHARGER (nap) and Duyfken.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (9/2 -157%) Make Clear	4.5 9/2(-157%)	(3) Make Clear 9/2, 22/1, bounced back to form when second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 9 days ago, caught close home having had run of race. Shortlist material nudged up 1 lb for that near miss. Runner-up on four occasions, beaten only a neck over C&D most recently.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 +50%) Confederation	4 4/1(+50%)	(1) Confederation 4/1, Unreliable individual. Fifteen runs since sole win in 2022. 6/1, never involved after dwelling at the start when last of 6 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 9 days ago. Tough to support. 0-12 on AW but has possibilities off this mark granted a clean break.
4 3rd (4) (3/1 -20%) Red Walls	3 3/1(-20%)	(4) Red Walls 3/1, Resumed winning ways back down in grade in 9-runner minor event at this course (6f, AW, 5/2) 9 days ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. Couple of 6f wins here this year; not crying out for return to 5f.
5 4th (5) (6/1 +14%) I'm Mable	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) I'm Mable 6/1, 18/1, never involved under more patient tactics back down in trip when seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 2 weeks ago. Still has a modest strike-rate for current yard but is on a handy mark.
2 5th (2) (9/4 +50%) Victors Dream	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(2) Victors Dream 9/4, Below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 9/1) 2 weeks ago. Career-low mark to work and the headgear experiment is quickly shelved. Regressive results of late but he is well treated granted a return to best.
6 6th (6) (28/1 -367%) Royal Agent	28 28/1(-367%)	(6) Royal Agent 28/1, Showed a glimmer of ability after 16 months off when fifth of 8 in minor event (40/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in November. Makes handicap debut and worth a second look in the betting with Hollie Doyle booked. Has weak form but may show some progress now handicapping off 49.

16:17 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MAKE CLEAR came agonisingly close to making all over C&D last week, only finding an in-form rival a neck too good. Nudged up just 1lb, she should make a solid fist of trying to go gate to wire from a handy stall. Red Walls warrants consideration, although he scrambled home in a 6f classified event at this course recently, and the suspicion is the handicapper may have him where he wants for the time being. Royal Agent makes her handicap debut for her astute stable and is worth a look.

This can go to MAKE CLEAR, who bounced back to form when caught close home over C&D last week and, nudged up just 1 lb for that near miss, Robert Cowell's filly can open her account at the expense of Red Walls, who has hit the target 3 times already this winter and looks sure to go well returned to handicap company. Victors Dream and handicap-debutante Royal Agent can fight out third.

On the back of a good C&D effort, MAKE CLEAR could well go one better and open her account. Victors Dream is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (10/1 -67%) Fleur Au Fusil	10 10/1(-67%)	(7) Fleur Au Fusil 10/1, Won 19-runner bumper at Naas (16f, soft, 10/3) on NH debut 84 days ago, pushed out. Open to improvement and not completely ruled out. The stable's second-string on winning debut at Naas, could make her presence felt.
12 2nd (12) (16/1 +52%) Switch From Diesel	16 16/1(+52%)	(12) Switch From Diesel 16/1, Winner in bumper at Tipperary in October. Good third of 8 in bumper (28/1) at this C&D (soft) 37 days ago. Place claims at best. Held her own against a couple of talented geldings here at Christmas, could go well.
4 3rd (4) (6/1 +40%) Barnahash Primrose	6 6/1(+40%)	(4) Barnahash Primrose 6/1, Won 8-runner bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy, 3/1) on NH debut 40 days ago, soon clear. Capable of better and worth her place in this. Justified a good home reputation when making winning debut at Limerick, open to progress.
1 4th (1) (5/6 +45%) Aurora Vega	0.833333 5/6(+45%)	(1) Aurora Vega 5/6, Promising sort. Won 9-runner listed bumper (8/13) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 128 days ago by 3 lengths from Sharp Object, travelling strongly. Top prospect who is worth chancing to maintain her unbeaten record. Terrific pedigree, has yet to be seriously tested in winning three races, strong contender.
15 5th (15) (16/1 -33%) Holly Brook	16 16/1(-33%)	(15) Holly Brook 16/1, €12,500 3-y-o, £115,000 4-y-o, Mount Nelson mare. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 23f) Mr Showtime. Won sole start in points (Dec 3). Significant that top connections have opted to start her out in this. Point winner, interesting that Gordon Elliott sets the bar so high for her bumper debut.
14 6th (14) (80/1 -142%) Glens Lullaby	80 80/1(-142%)	(14) Glens Lullaby 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 17¾ lengths fourth of 6 to The Enabler in listed bumper at Navan (16f, heavy, 17/2) 49 days ago. Others more persuasive. Dam Glens Melody was very talented, a lot to prove in this company following three defeats.
13 7th (13) (125/1 -89%) Discussion	125 125/1(-89%)	(13) Discussion 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, 5 lengths second of 9 to Miss Mini Bee in bumper at Fairyhouse (16.1f, heavy) on NH debut 50 days ago. More needed in this. Made a promising introduction behind Miss Mini Bee at Fairyhouse, this is very demanding.
10 8th (10) (9/2 +10%) Mongibello	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(10) Mongibello 9/2, Won 9-runner bumper (13/8) at Down Royal (17f, soft) 40 days ago, easily. More ability to unlock and looks a big player. Stylish winner at Down Royal, promising mare for the connection of the 2022 winner of this.
16 9th (16) (200/1 -100%) Slotty Dotty	200 200/1(-100%)	(16) Slotty Dotty 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1 and hooded, seventh of 18 in bumper at Punchestown (18.4f, heavy) on NH debut 35 days ago. Point winner, ran respectably at Punchestown in her first bumper, massive task here.
9 10th (9) (33/1 -106%) Miss Mini Bee	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Miss Mini Bee 33/1, 14/1, won 9-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16.1f, heavy) on NH debut 50 days ago by 5 lengths from Discussion, driven clear. This is obviously much tougher. Made a positive impression when beating Discussion on her debut, this will be much harder.
6 11th (6) (10/1 -25%) Femme Magnifique	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Femme Magnifique 10/1, Promising sort. Tongue strap on, won 16-runner bumper at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 11/8) on NH debut 49 days ago, impressively. Excellent prospect who demands plenty of respect. Thurles winner on track debut, helps to add substance to the stable's powerful challenge.
5 12th (5) (50/1 +50%) Cola Blaze	50 50/1(+50%)	(5) Cola Blaze 50/1, Winner in bumper at Thurles in November. 18½ lengths fifth of 6 to The Enabler in listed bumper at Navan (16f, heavy, 16/1) 49 days ago. Up against it. Thurles winner, soundly beaten along with Glens Lullaby in a Listed contest at Navan.
11 13th (11) (33/1 -32%) Sharp Object	33 33/1(-32%)	(11) Sharp Object 33/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 15¾ lengths ninth of 15 to Baby Kate in listed bumper (10/3) at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy) 78 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Must bounce back from a moderate run when favourite for the Cheltenham event by Baby Kate.

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

AURORA VEGA hasn't been seen since September, but she won a Listed event at Gowran fairly comfortably and is now 3-3. As short as 14/1 for the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham next month, Willie Mullins' charge is expected to take all of the beating. Stable companions Baby Kate, who impressed at Cheltenham in November, and easy Thurles winner Femme Magnifique also command respect for the yard which was responsible for last year's winner Fun Fun Fun. In the famous double green silks this year, the Stuart Crawford-trained Mongibello could be a bit of value for those looking to take on the Mullins brigade following her bloodless Down Royal victory.

AURORA VEGA has looked something out of the ordinary to date and is fancied to get the better of her stablemate Femme Magnifique, who cruised to success at Thurles on her Rules debut. Mongibello's form has substance and she looks the pick of those that aren't in the care of Willie Mullins.

Willie Mullins may well dominate but an each-way bet on Limerick winner BARNAHASH PRIMROSE is suggested as a more adventurous option

6 1st (6) (2/1 -14%) Wicked Thoughts	2 2/1(-14%)	(6) Wicked Thoughts 2/1, Wide-margin winner sole outing in points (Apr 10) and, while he didn't quite come up to expectations when third in a bumper at Ffos Las 112 days ago, he's worth another chance to show what he's capable of. Bought for £135,000 after impressive point win; not disgraced at Ffos Las for new yard.
1 2nd (1) (7/2 -17%) Getagin	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(1) Getagin 7/2, Showed ability in points and made a successful start under Rules in an 8-runner C&D event 48 days ago. Should go well again. Justified favouritism in C&D contest on rules debut, beating a subsequent winner.
7 3rd (7) (16/5 +54%) Saxon Star	3.2 16/5(+54%)	(7) Saxon Star 16/5, Saxon Warrior filly. Dam fairly useful 10.7f winner on Flat. Should have the speed for this sort of test and stable is in good order. 35,000gns yearling; by Saxon Warrior; market can guide.
5 4th (5) (15/2 +25%) Manfredi	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Manfredi 15/2, Yet to make an impact in two Irish bumpers but there have been signs of ability and this is a bit easier. Not discounted in a first-time tongue strap. Stablemate of Kinbara Hills; fitting of tongue-tie may prompt improvement.
3 5th (3) (18/1 -29%) Apollo Nine	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Apollo Nine 18/1, Sea The Moon gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including 15f hurdle winner in Italy Lights of Home. Dam 9.5f/1¼m winner. Well worth a market check. 3,000gns yearling; by Sea The Moon; heed the market signals.
4 6th (4) (8/1 -60%) Kinbara Hills	8 8/1(-60%)	(4) Kinbara Hills 8/1, £20,000 3-y-o, Hillstar gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Mustang Alpha. From a good family and looks the stable's first choice on jockey bookings. £20,000 3yo; Irish stable has a good strike-rate in British bumpers; respected.

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

Getagin justified favouritism when making a winning start under Rules over C&D in December and is likely to be popular once again. However, he may struggle to successfully give 4lb to WICKED THOUGHTS, who finished third at Ffos Las on his first run for Paul Nicholls, having won a point-to-point last April. The son of Mahler is expected to have come forward from that initial experience, while Kinbara Hills and Alkaid are a pair of newcomers who could make an impact.

WICKED THOUGHTS was a little underwhelming at Ffos Las 112 days ago but he's open to plenty of improvement based on his point form, so he's marginally preferred to Getagin, who has a penalty for his C&D success. Kinbara Hills is the pick of the newcomers.

Ditcheat runner WICKED THOUGHTS is given another chance. Course winner Getagin is second choice.

17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (5/2 +17%) Secret Guest	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(2) Secret Guest 5/2, Produced his best effort when winning at Redcar in September. Left behind a lesser effort when neck second of 9 to the reopposing Mighty Power in handicap (3/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Major player. Has done all his winning on turf but last month's C&D second was arguably a career best.
1 2nd (1) (12/1 +0%) Mondammej	12 12/1(+0%)	(1) Mondammej 12/1, C&D winner but it's a long time since his last success. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 4/1) 12 days ago. Back up in trip with cheekpieces on 1st time, but others more persuasive for win purposes. Went close over C&D in November but remains without a win since 2021; cheekpieces tried.
9 3rd (9) (6/1 -20%) Mighty Power	6 6/1(-20%)	(9) Mighty Power 6/1, After 4 months off, gained a third C&D victory when staying on to lead late in 9-runner handicap (14/1) at this C&D 19 days ago by neck from Secret Guest. Respected at this venue. Came from off pace for C&D win last month, after a break, and 3lb rise looks manageable.
3 4th (3) (4/1 +50%) The Turpinator	4 4/1(+50%)	(3) The Turpinator 4/1, Successful here (7f) in December and has remained in good heart since, third of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago. Could be thereabouts once more. Best known as a 7f/1m performer but was creditable fourth in Class 2 C&D race last month.
5 5th (5) (33/1 -65%) Tremblant	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Tremblant 33/1, Winner at Deauville last summer for A. Fabre. In first-time cheekpieces, failed to come on for his stable debut when seventh of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (7f) 32 days ago. Needs to find more with tongue strap also applied. Won in France last summer and has shown enough on first two British starts to offer hope.
8 6th (8) (9/1 -29%) Winter Crown	9 9/1(-29%)	(8) Winter Crown 9/1, Course winner who doubled his tally at Nottingham in June. Not discredited when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 3/1) the following month. Could still have more to offer making only his second all-weather start. Absent since last summer but won after a layoff here in this month last year.
11 7th (11) (16/1 -14%) Bellagio Man	16 16/1(-14%)	(11) Bellagio Man 16/1, Latest win over C&D in September. Below-par effort when fifth of 6 in handicap (17/2) also at this C&D 8 days ago. Has dropped below his last winning mark as a result, though, with blinkers now the choice of headgear. C&D winner in September but unable to land a telling blow on either start last month.
12 8th (12) (28/1 -40%) Gis A Sub	28 28/1(-40%)	(12) Gis A Sub 28/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Again below form when seventh of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft, 12/1) in September. Makes tapeta debut on first run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan (has had a wind op). Out of form for Kevin Ryan towards end of last summer; had wind op; stable debut.
6 9th (6) (11/1 -10%) Starshiba	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) Starshiba 11/1, Four wins (including twice at this course) from 18 runs last year. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 14/1) 15 days ago. However, he's not discounted as he goes back down in grade/trip with visor reapplied. Didn't fire over 1m last month but won over 6f off this mark on stable debut in December.
10 10th (10) (25/1 -127%) Manigordo	25 25/1(-127%)	(10) Manigordo 25/1, Shaped well on first run since leaving Tim Easterby when fourth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D on his all-weather debut 86 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Interesting contender. Ran well over C&D on stable debut in November; not seen again since but still on good mark.
7 11th (7) (8/1 -33%) Gulliver	8 8/1(-33%)	(7) Gulliver 8/1, Having dropped back to his last winning mark, fared best of those from the rear when fourth of 12 in handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 2 weeks ago. Needs everything to fall right. Tends to get going too late nowadays; may be reliant on others setting a very strong pace.
4 12th (4) (12/1 -200%) Petit Calvados	12 12/1(-200%)	(4) Petit Calvados 12/1, Has proved better than ever of late with the cheekpieces reapplied, making it back-to-back wins when landing 6-runner handicap (3/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 22 days ago. Not taken lightly in her current form. In-form mare who has won her last two over 5f and is also suited by 6f; likely contender.

17:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Petit Calvados has to be respected following victories at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford, but marginal preference is for GULLIVER. David O'Meara's veteran was a close-up fourth in a competitive event at Chelmsford two weeks ago and another good run can be expected off a 1lb lower mark. Mighty Power edged out Secret Guest over C&D recently and they have to enter the equation as well.

SECRET GUEST soon bounced back to form when denied only narrowly at this C&D last time and he can return to winning ways with a strongly-run race to suit. He is taken to reverse the placings with Mighty Power from when the pair met here 19 days ago, while Petit Calvados has thrived since the cheekpieces have gone back on and completes the shortlist.

He normally runs over further but THE TURPINATOR was a creditable fourth in a valuable C&D contest last month and gets the nod.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (11/4 +58%) Cusack	2.75 11/4(+58%)	(2) Cusack 11/4, 4-time course winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. 9/2, creditable 1½ lengths third of 8 to Urban Road in handicap at this course (10.2f) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Merits consideration. Four-time course winner and has continued to knock on the door; thereabouts.
4 2nd (4) (11/1 -38%) Sycamore	11 11/1(-38%)	(4) Sycamore 11/1, 18/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D 16 days ago, staying on to lead dying strides after short of room over 1f out. Nudged up 3 lb and holds serious claims of following up if arriving in the same mood. Overcame a troubled passage to edge home over C&D two weeks ago so needs considering.
5 3rd (5) (5/1 +38%) Mercurius Power	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Mercurius Power 5/1, C&D winner in December. 15/2, wasted no time getting back to form when second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago, clear of rest. Clear runner-up over C&D 13 days ago but the winner was 25-1 and that was a Class 6.
1 4th (1) (20/1 -82%) Reel Prospect	20 20/1(-82%)	(1) Reel Prospect 20/1, C&D winner in October. 5/1, looked a less-than-straightforward conveyance when 4 lengths sixth of 8 to Urban Road in handicap at this course (10.2f) 16 days ago, hanging badly left late on. Back down in trip. More required. Won his novice over C&D; no better than fifth in his three handicaps.
8 5th (8) (13/2 +35%) Admiral Nelson	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(8) Admiral Nelson 13/2, Course winner in December. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 3/1) 16 days ago, hampered start. Solid each-way claims. Beaten three times since his course win in Dec and he's 0-9 at 1m+.
11 6th (11) (66/1 -313%) Covert Legend	66 66/1(-313%)	(11) Covert Legend 66/1, 8/1, again ran below form when seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. His fourth three runs back offers hope and perhaps new cheekpieces will give him a lift.
12 7th (12) (28/1 -180%) Glencalvie	28 28/1(-180%)	(12) Glencalvie 28/1, Back on track on her first start in a 0-60 when winning 7-runner handicap (5/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 3 days ago, responding well to edge ahead near line. Carries penalty. Doesn't look obviously well in with a penalty but this could be run to suit.
6 8th (6) (11/1 -22%) Aim For The Moon	11 11/1(-22%)	(6) Aim For The Moon 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, showed plenty on first run since leaving John Butler when third of 6 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 18 days ago, never nearer. Has clearly been fragile but there could be more to come. Close up over Kempton's 1m on stable debut and has races in her off this mark.
3 9th (3) (11/2 -22%) Urban Road	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Urban Road 11/2, Four wins from 15 runs last year. 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (10.2f) 16 days ago, edging ahead near line after forced to switch over 2f out. Back down in trip. Narrow winner here recently but had a bit in hand; drop back to 1m fine off 2lb higher.
7 10th (7) (16/1 -100%) Tio Mio	16 16/1(-100%)	(7) Tio Mio 16/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Again ran well when third of 9 in handicap (17/2) at same course (8.6f) 15 days ago, well positioned. Made a good start for Alex French with a first and third at Wolverhampton.
9 11th (9) (6/1 -33%) Once Adaay	6 6/1(-33%)	(9) Once Adaay 6/1, 9/2, thriving at present and eked out a bit more improvement to resume winning ways in 11-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 2 weeks ago. Up 3 lb and should continue to give a good account. Record of 3-8 on the AW; confined to Class 6 handicaps thus far but he's in form.
10 12th (10) (28/1 -40%) Thunder Max	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Thunder Max 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Last of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 12/1) 22 days ago, short of room briefly home turn. Others look stronger. Fair stable debut over C&D in December and perhaps Chelmsford didn't suit last time.

17:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

In a wide-open event, the vote just goes to the unexposed AIM FOR THE MOON, who was only beaten a length into third over this trip at Kempton last time and can race off the same mark here. Once Adaay is an obvious threat following his success at Chelmsford two weeks ago, while surprise C&D scorer Sycamore is also dangerous. Others to consider are Tio Mio, Mercurius Power and Urban Road.

Having been relatively lightly raced in the last year or so, SYCAMORE bounced back to form when scoring over C&D just over 2 weeks ago and, on the back of a small rise in the weights, Scott Dixon's 7-y-o is taken to follow up at the expense of Cusack, who is more consistent than most at this level. Aim For The Moon and Tio Mio are another couple fancied to go well, also.

This looks well contested. Recent course winner URBAN ROAD could be the answer with the drop back to 1m of no concern.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (9/2 +31%) Moon Flight	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(7) Moon Flight 9/2, Winner at Wolverhampton in November. 13/8, respectable second of 9 over C&D 16 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. One to consider. Winner for Sir Mark Prescott and it's been a very solid start for this yard.
5 2nd (5) (7/2 +78%) Jenever	3.5 7/2(+78%)	(5) Jenever 7/2, Four wins from 13 runs last year, the latest over C&D in November. Run of good form came to a halt at Southwell in December but might bounce back after short break. Progressive last year and it was a rare blip at Southwell two months ago.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 -118%) Quandary	12 12/1(-118%)	(8) Quandary 12/1, Fairly useful form. Very good second of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (6f) 12 days ago. May have more to offer after only 6 starts. Probably ran her best race yet when going down narrowly at Southwell 12 days ago.
2 4th (2) (10/1 -150%) Juicy	10 10/1(-150%)	(2) Juicy 10/1, It took a while to get her to the track but she looks set to make up for lost time, winning Southwell maiden before second under a penalty in a novice at Chelmsford (both 5f) this winter. Lacks the experience of the many battle-hardened sprinters in this line-up but she's a useful prospect. Made all on debut and not disgraced with a penalty; open to improvement.
3 5th (3) (5/1 +64%) Castan	5 5/1(+64%)	(3) Castan 5/1, C&D winner in October. 8/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 54 days ago. Had 54 days off but likely contender if on his game at a venue he likes.
4 6th (4) (13/2 +28%) Pockley	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(4) Pockley 13/2, Unreliable individual. Three-time C&D winner, the latest in November. 16/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 28 days ago, nearest finish. Fair run last time at Wolverhampton; prefers it here with the stiffer finish in his favour.
6 7th (6) (15/2 +17%) Nelson Gay	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(6) Nelson Gay 15/2, C&D winner. 11/1, respectable fourth of 9 in C&D handicap 6 days ago. Course winner in fair form at the minute and should have a fighting chance.
11 8th (11) (40/1 -150%) Majeski Man	40 40/1(-150%)	(11) Majeski Man 40/1, Ended last year's turf campaign with a pair of runner-up efforts at Thirsk in August. Might have needed a recent outing here after 5 months off (had wind surgery) but he will need to leave that run well behind to get heavily involved here. Back from a break and wind surgery he was weak in the market and finished last here.
1 9th (1) (11/1 -69%) Khabib	11 11/1(-69%)	(1) Khabib 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in November. 2/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 44 days ago. Enters calculations. C&D winner in the past and hasn't been far away in any of his last five races.
12 10th (12) (11/1 -22%) Dark Kestrel	11 11/1(-22%)	(12) Dark Kestrel 11/1, Back on form for new yard when placed over C&D in recent weeks, going down by only neck latterly. Another to consider. Has gone close the last twice despite slow starts; could do with kicking that habit.
9 11th (9) (12/1 -50%) Rodborough	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Rodborough 12/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 7/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap over C&D 16 days ago. Three wins at Southwell; fair effort here last time but now 0-5 at this track.

18:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

JUICY only just failed to follow up her debut victory when second at Chelmsford last time, and both of those performances suggest that a mark of 78 should be workable so Richard Spencer's filly could take some stopping. The consistent Moon Flight is likely to be in the mix once again, while Night On Earth and Dark Kestrel also make the shortlist.

A competitive sprint. KHABIB has a really solid AW record and might be able to get his head back in front. Unexposed-pair Juicy and Quandary are obvious dangers, while Moon Flight and Dark Kestrel are also respected after good runner-up efforts over C&D last month.

The 4yo MOON FLIGHT (nap) travelled like a well-handicapped horse last time when paying the price for racing close to a strong pace.

18:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (10/3 +39%) Las Ramblas	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(9) Las Ramblas 10/3, 250,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega colt. Closely related to 1¼m winner Gumriyah and half-brother to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1¼m Legatissimo. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Cost 250,000gns as a yearling and there are some smart winners in the family; interesting.
10 2nd (10) (6/4 -9%) Waleefy	1.5 6/4(-9%)	(10) Waleefy 6/4, Night of Thunder half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum. Shaped well in a muddling contest when third of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 43 days ago. Open to plenty of improvement. Half-brother to Baaeed and from a poor position he showed plenty of promise at Lingfield.
3 3rd (3) (6/1 -50%) Parthenopaeus	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Parthenopaeus 6/1, Pivotal gelding. 14/1, second of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f) on debut 13 days ago, faring best of those held up. Should have more to offer. Fared best of those held up when going close over 7f here 13 days ago (7f).
4 4th (4) (125/1 -525%) Sycamore Gap	125 125/1(-525%)	(4) Sycamore Gap 125/1, Mid-field in a bumper and finished only seventh of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f, 40/1) on flat debut 13 days ago. Others preferred. Work to do with Parthenopaeus on their recent clash here over 7f.
6 5th (6) (15/8 -7%) Tournelle	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(6) Tournelle 15/8, Promising individual. 6/4, won 9-runner maiden at this course readily (7.1f) on debut 19 days ago, travelling fluently. Sets a good standard on that effort. Fav when a cosy winner here on debut; penalised against the boys but clearly useful.
1 6th (1) (25/1 -56%) Letsbefrank	25 25/1(-56%)	(1) Letsbefrank 25/1, Frankel gelding, half-brother to top-class Fascinating Rock. Third of 6 in minor event (13/2) at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) on debut, slowly away. Off 126 days. Down in trip. Left John Butler 35,000 gns in October. Should improve. Left John Butler for 35,000gns after finishing an encouraging third on Epsom debut.
2 7th (2) (200/1 -300%) Musical Masquerade	200 200/1(-300%)	(2) Musical Masquerade 200/1, Unplaced in pair of bumpers and offered little on Flat debut when seventh of 9 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 12 days ago. Beaten 20l+ in two bumpers and again comfortably held on Flat debut at Southwell (1m).
5 8th (5) (200/1 -700%) Ashkhabad	200 200/1(-700%)	(5) Ashkhabad 200/1, Down the field in pair of bumpers. Eighth of 9 in minor event (150/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on flat debut 28 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Down the field in two bumpers and the same again on Flat debut at Wolverhampton.
8 9th (8) (250/1 -213%) Ideal Dragon	250 250/1(-213%)	(8) Ideal Dragon 250/1, Dragon Dancer colt. Too green to show anything when eighth of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f, 125/1) on debut 13 days ago. Impossible to fancy. Always behind 13 days ago and he's comfortably held by a couple of these on that showing.
11 10th (11) (125/1 -400%) Little Venice	125 125/1(-400%)	(11) Little Venice 125/1, Cityscape filly. 100/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at this C&D on debut 16 days ago. Will be of more interest in handicaps. Only sixth of nine on C&D debut and never really figured at odds of 100-1.
7 11th (7) (200/1 -150%) Coramento	200 200/1(-150%)	(7) Coramento 200/1, Portamento gelding. Green when eighth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 250/1) on debut 54 days ago. Hard to fancy. In the rear throughout when 250-1 for his debut at Southwell (7f).

18:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Denied by just a neck on his belated debut over 7f here 13 days ago, PARTHENOPAEUS created a favourable impression and can go one place better, with the longer trip likely to suit the son of Pivotal. There should also be more to come from Waleefy who, like the selection, dwelt at the start on his first outing but ought to be wiser for the experience. Course maiden winner Tournelle is another to consider now upped in distance.

WALEEFY is from an outstanding family and showed plenty of ability in a stop-start contest at Lingfield on debut, so he's taken to make his second start a winning one. Tournelle made a fine start to her career when landing a 7f maiden here last month and merits plenty of respect under a penalty, whilst Juddmonte-newcomer Las Ramblas also makes appeal.

An interesting novice but Baaeed's half-brother WALEEFY was a big eyecatcher on his debut at Lingfield and could take some stopping.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (13/2 -30%) Oliver Show	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(10) Oliver Show 13/2, Unreliable type. 11/1, good second of 11 in handicap at this course (8f) 19 days ago, left with lot to do. Can give a good account if on his A-game again. With better luck he might have won over 1m here 19 days ago; likely contender.
6 2nd (6) (22/1 +45%) Lion Tower	22 22/1(+45%)	(6) Lion Tower 22/1, Course winner. Tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 28/1) 81 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Hasn't made the frame for a while now and it was a struggle here last time in November.
7 3rd (7) (25/1 -79%) Riot	25 25/1(-79%)	(7) Riot 25/1, Four wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in December. 13/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Second here in the past and has been enjoying a good run of form at Chelmsford.
11 4th (11) (7/1 -17%) Benavente	7 7/1(-17%)	(11) Benavente 7/1, Latest win at Dundalk in November. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 44 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Much respected on his tapeta debut. Irish raider who has been paying his way at Dundalk (1m/1m2f); may need further now.
3 5th (3) (12/1 -50%) Zip	12 12/1(-50%)	(3) Zip 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Doncaster in October. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Needs considering. Multiple winner who is running well but he's stuck on a tough mark.
9 6th (9) (8/1 -7%) Swiss Ace	8 8/1(-7%)	(9) Swiss Ace 8/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 11/4, shaped well when fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 13 days ago, finding test too much. Player now reverted in trip. In competitive form until his recent fifth here when getting no cover.
8 7th (8) (50/1 -213%) Zozimus	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Zozimus 50/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. 18/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at this course (10.2f) 57 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Tailed off here last time; has becoming frustrating with a strike-rate of 1-28.
4 8th (4) (7/2 +22%) The Caltonian	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(4) The Caltonian 7/2, 4-time course winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. Respectable second of 6 in handicap at this course (6f, 13/8) 8 days ago, left with too much to do. Not taken lightly. All good since the blinkers were fitted but he has got himself high in the weights.
12 9th (12) (22/1 -144%) Chantico	22 22/1(-144%)	(12) Chantico 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Visor on 1st time. Enters calculations off a 3 lb lower mark. Not far off his best in two runs for this yard but needs to find extra in the new headgear.
5 10th (5) (8/1 -60%) Johnny James	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Johnny James 8/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. 6/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago. Can go well again. 0-5 since gelded but runner-up in last three and this prominent racer should go well again.
13 11th (13) (20/1 -43%) Gobi Sunset	20 20/1(-43%)	(13) Gobi Sunset 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 11/2) 2 days ago. Near miss at Southwell 12 days ago; ended mid-division here (7f) on Friday.
2 12th (2) (4/1 +80%) Master Zoffany	4 4/1(+80%)	(2) Master Zoffany 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 14/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 34 days ago, nearest finish. Ought to be in the shake-up. C&D winner who got no luck last time; each-way claims if clicking with new partner.
14 13th (14) (22/1 -120%) Charencey	22 22/1(-120%)	(14) Charencey 22/1, Course winner in November. Ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 7/2) 58 days ago so has work to do. 6f course winner; lost his action returned to 7f last time; chance if forgiven that.

19:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ultra-tough, The Caltonian is shortlisted despite his winning spree coming to an end with a comprehensive defeat inflicted by an improving rival in an apprentice handicap here last weekend. However, JOHNNY JAMES is far less exposed than the majority and looks worth chancing from a potentially competitive mark. Keep an eye on Oliver Show too.

Lots with chances. SWISS ACE caught the eye when fifth over 1m here last time out and looks the way to go now back at 7f. Chantico figures on a handy mark and rates a big threat if, as expected, building on his Wolverhampton seventh. The Caltonian must enter calculations too in this competitive handicap.

The lightly raced OLIVER SHOW was perhaps unlucky not to collect on only his second run for George Boughey and he might be the answer.

19:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (7/2 +75%) Fantasy Navigator	3.5 7/2(+75%)	(6) Fantasy Navigator 7/2, Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022.

Respectable fifth of 9 in minor event at this C&D (7/2) 8 days ago. Close second in Wolverhampton handicap last month; likely to appear late on the scene.
5 3rd (5) (12/1 -167%) Cubanista	12 12/1(-167%)	(5) Cubanista 12/1, Modest gelding. One win from 25 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 6 in handicap (3/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago. Short of room in closing stages when close third in recent Southwell handicap; a possible.
3 4th (3) (8/1 -7%) Blackcurrent	8 8/1(-7%)	(3) Blackcurrent 8/1, Modest gelding. 6-time course winner. 20/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on form. Went very close in this grade last month and recent handicap fourth was also a good run.
9 5th (9) (6/1 +14%) One For The Ladies	6 6/1(+14%)	(9) One For The Ladies 6/1, Modest mare. C&D winner. Good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/2) 23 days ago. Can give a good account. Placed in four consecutive 6f handicaps since October; likely contender again.
11 6th (11) (14/1 -56%) Shine's Ambition	14 14/1(-56%)	(11) Shine's Ambition 14/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 6/1, second of 9 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive. Close second over 7f here recently and ought to cope with drop back to 6f; a possible.
7 7th (7) (10/1 -25%) Global Humor	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) Global Humor 10/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. 18/1, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 31 days ago. Didn't run badly in C&D handicap two starts ago and will appreciate this ease in grade.

1 9th (1) (12/1 -33%) Another Angel	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Another Angel 12/1, Modest gelding. 8-time course winner. Three wins from 20 runs last year. 11/2, creditable third of 12 in minor event at this course (5f) 2 days ago. Ran well from the front over C&D eight days ago and 5f here on Friday; e-w player again.

4 11th (4) (33/1 -340%) Bryce	33 33/1(-340%)	(4) Bryce 33/1, Modest gelding. Eighth of 9 in handicap (2/1) at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm). Off 178 days. First run for yard after leaving Nigel Tinkler. Hood on 1st time. Went close in turf handicap last summer but makes stable debut after six-month absence.

19:30 Newcastle Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SECRET DAAY has been threatening to win a race of this nature of late and has another chance to shine on the back of four placed efforts from his last five starts. He was only a head behind Blackcurrent when they took minor honours in a similar contest over C&D last month and he can turn the form around. Autumn Flight is another to consider.

A weak but open event with the vote going to 6-time course winner BLACKCURRENT, who was a good fourth in a better race than this over C&D 10 days ago. One For The Ladies and Secret Daay head the dangers.

With competition for the early lead likely, this could be run to suit MISS CALCULATION. Several others are considered, though.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
12 (12) (100/1 -150%) Coley's Koko	100 100/1(-150%)	(12) Coley's Koko 100/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 12 in minor event at this C&D (66/1) 2 days ago. Must improve. Without a win since 2021; well held in a 5f classified here on Friday.
1 1st (1) (9/1 -80%) Henery Hawk	9 9/1(-80%)	(1) Henery Hawk 9/1, 13/2, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D 13 days ago, suited by way race developed and ultimately winning comfortably. Good pace to aim at here will aid his cause. Took form to whole new level with comfortable C&D win last month; hiked up 9lb for that.
7 2nd (7) (8/1 -45%) Mehmo	8 8/1(-45%)	(7) Mehmo 8/1, Three wins from 16 runs last year. 7/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 10 days ago, keeping on final 1f. Good pace to aim at here will help. Kept on from the rear to go close at Southwell recently; has to take 3lb rise on the chin.
6 3rd (6) (22/1 +12%) The Princes Poet	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) The Princes Poet 22/1, 18/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers/tongue tie reached for now. Unplaced all five stable starts; tried 7f last time; back to 5f in new headgear today.
4 4th (4) (5/1 +64%) Enderman	5 5/1(+64%)	(4) Enderman 5/1, Ended lengthy losing run at Nottingham in August. 5/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 10 days ago. Blinkers replace the visor now. Placed over 6f here last month and this drop back to 5f is an interesting move.
11 5th (11) (14/1 +13%) Sir Benedict	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Sir Benedict 14/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Last of 9 in minor event at this course (6f, 11/2) 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Previous effort over C&D was encouraging and better showing not ruled out. Arrested decline with second in C&D classified last month; well beaten in that grade since.
3 6th (3) (7/2 +50%) Urban Dandy	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(3) Urban Dandy 7/2, C&D winner. 10/3, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, ridden over 1f out and not quicken. Not taken lightly. Consistent 4yo who is now 1lb below last winning mark; probably in the mix again.
5 7th (5) (9/4 +0%) King Of The Jungle	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(5) King Of The Jungle 9/4, 4-y-o who has found some improvement of late, landing back-to-back C&D handicaps, the latest 19 days ago by ½ length from re-opposing Urban Dandy. Entitled to thereabouts again from 3 lb higher mark. Has won his last two over C&D and could quite plausibly have more improvement to come.
8 8th (8) (28/1 -331%) Amber Dew	28 28/1(-331%)	(8) Amber Dew 28/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap (9/2) at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago, doing little in front and just holding on. Still, that may not prove her limit for this yard. Narrow 6f winner at Southwell last month but this race looks much more competitive.
10 9th (10) (33/1 -106%) One Last Hug	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) One Last Hug 33/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Eighth of 9 in handicap back at that venue (6.1f, 11/2) 20 days ago, not ideally placed from his wide draw. Kept on for narrow 6f Tapeta win in December but didn't fire last time; others preferred.
2 10th (2) (9/1 -29%) Tilsworth Ony Ta	9 9/1(-29%)	(2) Tilsworth Ony Ta 9/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 6/1) 14 days ago, challenging 1f out and leading late on. Not out of things provided she keeps the tardy starts at bay. Career-best effort when battling on well to score at Chelmsford last month; up 3lb.
9 11th (9) (40/1 -100%) Mrs Trump	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Mrs Trump 40/1, Maiden who went close on a couple of occasions in 5f handicaps last year. 16/1, shaped as if she'd come on for the run when tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago, ridden entering straight and fading. Not ruled out from further reduced mark. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Back from break with low-key run last month; needs help from the first-time cheekpieces.

20:00 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

HENERY HAWK fairly bolted up over C&D last month and a 9lb rise may not be enough to stop Linda Perratt's charge putting on a show once more. Tilsworth Ony Ta has been nudged up 3lb for a victory at Chelmsford and he was all out to score on that occasion so a bit more will be required to take the gold medal here. This step back down to the minimum trip may help Amber Dew, who just held on over 6f at Southwell.

KING OF THE JUNGLE has found some improvement at a low level of late, landing back-to-back C&D handicaps, proving determined when seeing off re-opposing Urban Dandy by ½ length 19 days ago. He gets the narrow vote to continue the good work and complete the hat-trick. Mehmo and Mrs Trump are others worth a look, whilst Amber Dew isn't dismissed either.

After racing freely when placed over 6f here last month, ENDERMAN looks interesting on his first 5f start since his 2yo season.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (4/5 +54%) Bonito Cavalo	0.8 4/5(+54%)	(1) Bonito Cavalo 4/5, 4-time course winner. 11/10, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (6f) 2 days ago. Carries penalty. In great heart and capable of completing 5-timer. 0-22 on turf but began AW career with four wins here (6f-7f); latest was on Friday.
7 2nd (7) (6/1 +33%) Phoenix Star	6 6/1(+33%)	(7) Phoenix Star 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. 8/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, nearest finish. Given a chance by the assessor but not the most reliable. Placed over C&D last month and now 1lb lower than when winning here in September.
12 3rd (12) (125/1 -89%) Desert Swirl	125 125/1(-89%)	(12) Desert Swirl 125/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Blinkers back on. Uphill task. Well beaten over about 1m on first two stable starts; contests her first sprint race today.
9 4th (9) (9/1 +64%) Atlantic Heart	9 9/1(+64%)	(9) Atlantic Heart 9/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable 3¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Bonito Cavalo in handicap (22/1) at this course (6f) 2 days ago. Blinkers back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. 22-1 fourth of 11 to Bonito Cavalo here (6f) on Friday; unraced over 5f.
6 5th (6) (20/1 -122%) Stallone	20 20/1(-122%)	(6) Stallone 20/1, 11/2, won 12-runner minor event at this C&D 18 days ago. Not an obvious sort for the follow up. Narrow winner of basement-grade classified over C&D last month; has more to do today.
11 6th (11) (8/1 -23%) Street Life	8 8/1(-23%)	(11) Street Life 8/1, Won 12-runner minor event at this C&D (4/1) 2 days ago, keeping on well. Carries penalty. Not discounted. Won off a basement mark last month and narrowly won a classified here on Friday, both 5f.
10 7th (10) (33/1 -65%) Golden Rainbow	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Golden Rainbow 33/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 19 days ago, lost all chance at start. Something to prove. Well down the field here on first two starts for new stable; headgear switched today.
4 8th (4) (13/2 -18%) Crocodile Power	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(4) Crocodile Power 13/2, Course winner. 8/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 14 days ago, finishing well. Worth considering. Started off for Seb Spencer with two good 5f runs last month; can make presence felt again.
2 9th (2) (40/1 -186%) Eldeyaar	40 40/1(-186%)	(2) Eldeyaar 40/1, Latest win at Catterick in September. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 25/1) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Could feature if he's able to build on latest effort. Ran okay over 6f on Tuesday; drops back in trip with cheekpieces fitted today.
8 10th (8) (20/1 -25%) Basholo	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Basholo 20/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (5f) 10 days ago. Not dismissed. Won Wolverhampton classified two starts ago; probably a shade vulnerable off current mark.
3 11th (3) (50/1 -456%) Ben Dikduk	50 50/1(-456%)	(3) Ben Dikduk 50/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 4/1) 32 days ago. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy. Worth a market check. 12-race maiden with tendency to race too freely; changed hands for 4,000gns last month.
5 12th (5) (25/1 -257%) Doctor Mozart	25 25/1(-257%)	(5) Doctor Mozart 25/1, Four wins from 22 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 5/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive. Flopped when favourite a fortnight ago but generally in good form since the autumn.

20:30 Newcastle Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

STALLONE kept on well to prevail over C&D last month and, back in handicap company, he may be able to get his head in front once again. Basholo dispatched of a subsequent winner over 5f at Wolverhampton last month and after finishing fifth at Southwell subsequently, she may be able to bounce back to form. The handicapper let Crocodile Power off scot-free after a solid third over 5f at Chelmsford and he can make the frame again.

BONITO CAVALO is thriving and completed a 4-timer here on Friday, Drop in trip shouldn't trouble him. Crocodile Power is one to consider following a strong finish at Chelmsford and Phoenix Star can't be ruled out.

Bonito Cavalo can't be opposed with any confidence but CROCODILE POWER didn't get the best of runs when going close at Chelmsford.
