Destinado returns to handicap company on the back of a classified stakes double and must be considered, but an increased mark leaves him with no margin for error and preference is for TAXIING. The David Evans-trained filly built on a near-miss at Chelmsford to open her account over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last month and, with scope for further improvement following that confidence-boosting success, a 3lb rise may not be enough to a halt her. Placated and Tortured Soul are others to consider in a tricky opener.

DESTINADO made it three wins from 4 starts since joining James Owen when successful at this course 12 days ago, doing well in the circumstances having had to come from a long way back, and he can score again in his current form. Heading the list of dangers is Tortured Soul, who also arrives bidding for a hat-trick, with Placated completing the shortlist.

An open race in which the vote goes to TORTURED SOUL, who made it 2-2 on AW with his comfortable win at Wolverhampton last month.

Coko Beach posted a fine second in the Becher Chase at Aintree in December and the nine-year-old is an interesting recruit to this unique discipline. Gordon Elliott's charge must enter calculations, but STATTLER edges the verdict. The Stowaway gelding was far from disgraced when runner-up over an inadequate 2m4f in a Grade 2 at Thurles recently and that should have put him spot on for his debut in this sphere. Fameaftertheglory should put his latest third-placed effort in this discipline at Cheltenham to good use and shouldn't be underestimated.

Willie Mullins' STATTLER has no Allaho to contend with this time so is fancied to go one better than his recent Thurles second to his top-class stablemate and get off the mark for the season. Gordon Elliott's Coko Beach rates much the biggest danger ahead of the talented but temperamental Fameaftertheglory.

Perhaps COKO BEACH, who has the merit of smart6 handicap chase form this season, will adapt better to this course than Stattler

Ridin Solo posted a respectable second on his Rules/hurdle bow at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and the six-year-old has more going for him than most in this open affair. However, it may be worth taking a punt on timber debutant DIAMOND DICE. The Jonjo O'Neill-trained gelding has some fair bumper form in the book and he could take all the beating if translating that ability to this discipline. The downgraded Old Gregorian is also worth a second look.

RIDIN SOLO will benefit from further in due course but he made a promising start over this trip at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and looks the way to go with improvement on the way. Diamond Dice looks a good sort for jumping and is a big player. Jomig des Bois, a stablemate of the selection, is interesting, while Coniston George remains with potential having been given a break since Wetherby.

Jonjo O'Neill's runners always warrant respect at Carlisle and DIAMOND DICE is taken to make a winning start over hurdles.

Beltane and Rogue Thunder have slipped back down to workable marks and both look capable if putting their best foot forward, while Swiss Pride may appreciate the return to 7f after some decent efforts over shorter. However, FREETODREAM returned with a pleasing performance when third over this distance at Kempton in December and, with that pipe-opener under his belt, he could be the one to side with.

FREETODREAM shaped quite well back on AW at Kempton just before Christmas and can build on that promise and strike under Hollie Doyle. How Impressive has been runner-up on both previous attempts over C&D, including under today's pilot Oisin Murphy, and is second choice ahead of Rogue Thunder, who is less exposed than most of these and takes a slight drop in grade here.

The vote goes to triple course winner IMPEACH, who is back on his last winning mark and was a fair third over C&D ten days ago.

LA MALMASON built on the promise of her third behind Found A Fifty at Down Royal when making a successful raid on her handicap debut over fences at Cheltenham in December. The winning margin doesn't tell the full story as she appeared to win with something to spare and a 6lb rise is unlikely to be an inconvenience. Bonnie Kellie took a step back in the right direction when runner-up here last month when she arguably would have won but for a bad mistake at the second last. Kates Hill appeals most of the remainder.

LA MALMASON won a competitive handicap at Cheltenham last time with a bit in hand and looks more than good enough to give the weight away to this opposition. Bonnie Kellie and Kates Hill can battle it out for the forecast spot.

Cheltenham handicap La Malmason may struggle to concede 24lb to KATES HILL, winner of a conditions race here last month.

GARDENER looked set to complete a double when sprawling on landing and unseating his rider after the second-last fence at Newcastle last month. A 4lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent Olly Murphy's gelding gaining compensation and a third career victory could be on the horizon. Connections of progressive hurdler Doyen Du Bar have wasted little time in getting him over fences and he could have more to offer entering this discipline, with fellow in-form contender Martator completing the shortlist.

GARDENER has shown improved form switched to chasing since joining his current yard, in the process of making it 2 from 2 over fences when departing at Newcastle a month ago, and he remains capable of better in this sphere. He can get the better of Doyen du Bar, who appeals as the type to make a chaser, while Martator can also give another good account.

A hot little race. DOYEN DU BAR has impressed over hurdles the last twice and can complete a hat-trick on this chase/handicap debut.

Ajrad and HOLD THE PRESS were separated by the narrowest of margins when the former scored over this C&D last month and they could fight out the finish again here. The latter is 1lb better off with the winner this time and he has a fine record around here, so could be the safest option as he bids to reverse the from. Time Patrol was a close second in a similar event at Kempton last time and he is another to consider.

NEPTUNE LEGEND wasn't seen to best effect when well backed for a similar race at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and gets another chance with Hollie Doyle now up. Stablemate Time Patrol is interesting, while there won't be much between recent C&D 1-2 Ajrad and Hold The Press again and they won't be far away.

Several have claims but the vote goes to AJRAD, who got back on the scoresheet when beating Hold The Press over C&D last month.

MERCUREY made a pleasing return to action here when finishing third on his first outing for 13 months and the six-year-old remains open to a fair amount of improvement. Lightkeeper shaped with promise on his Rules debut when chasing home Tullyhill at Naas and that experience is likely to stand him in good stead going forward. Supreme Ruler is bred to be useful and commands respect along with Milan Dollar Lady, who is a half-sister to Grade 1-winning chaser Road To Respect.

This represents a good opportunity for MERCUREY, who was third in a big-field maiden won by his potentially smart stablemate Lisnagar Fortune a few weeks ago. He is entitled to come on for that (first run following a 13-month break) and, with very few miles on the clock, he remains open to improvement. Lightkeeper made a promising start under Rules at Naas last month and he is second choice ahead of likely-looking newcomers Supreme Ruler and I Get It, both of whom need a market check.

Following a solid display behind stablemate Lisnagar Fortune over C&D last month, MERCUREY should be too strong for these rivals.

Dual hurdle winner LUNAR DISCOVERY lost little in defeat when posting a fine second in a Listed contest at Haydock in late December and she may have too much class on this return to class 4 company. Drumlee Spud appears the pick of the remainder having looked set to go close when falling at Stratford in November. Ben Pauling's mare receives a fair amount of weight, including Beau Morgan's 5lb claim, and she isn't taken lightly. Dontyawantme and Rialannah could battle it out for third.

DRUMLEE SPUD may have won at Stratford last time but for crashing out at the final flight and is taken to make the most of the weight she receives from the useful Lunar Discovery. Rialannah made an encouraging start to her hurdle career at Huntingdon recently and looks best of the remainder.

Having run a cracker when a Listed runner-up at Haydock in December, LUNAR DISCOVERY is taken to return to winning ways.

Linden Arden was sent off at a short price for a Leopardstown handicap on his debut for the Willie Mullins yard and while he disappointed that day, it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returned to maiden company. All For Rachel must be considered on the back of a handicap second at Navan recently and Magic Sadler made the frame in a similar event nine days ago, but it could pay to take a chance on PIRATE ISLAND. Third over 2m the last twice, he has been doing his best work at the finish and he should relish this step up in trip.

LINDEN ARDEN couildn't make a winning start for Willie Mullins when sixth at Leopardstown but went too freely after an absence there and remains one to be interested in for his new handler. Pirate Island and Chiefs Kingdom both arrive in good order and can chase home the selection in that order.

It might well be worth giving another chance to LINDEN ARDEN om his second run for Closutton after a disappointing opening run

ROYALE MARGAUX was outclassed in a Listed contest when fifth behind Limerick Lace at Doncaster at the end of December. That said, the return to handicap company, in what appears to be an excellent opportunity on paper, can see her gain a first success in the UK, especially if she repeats her second at Cheltenham the time before. Game On For Glory boasts a similar profile to the selection as she also drops from Listed company. Lucy Wadham's mare is likely to be the main threat, while a change of headgear to a visor may benefit Lilith.

LILITH returned to form when winning this race last year and may well repeat the dose this time round having slipped to a handy mark. Indeed, she's 4 lb lower compared to 12 months ago and the first-time visor/prospect of a soft lead are other factors which could potentially help tilt the scales in her favour. Royale Margaux will be a big threat if reproducing the form of her Cheltenham effort in December and she is feared most ahead of Game On For Glory.

Topweight ROYALE MARGAUX was a good second on her last handicap start and earns the vote now back down in grade.

ROMILDA is still a maiden through eight starts but has shaped with enough promise to suggest she has a race of this nature within her compass. A daughter of Kingman out of a Galileo mare trained by William Haggas, she is going to breakthrough sooner rather than later and the handicapper has given her a chance by dropping her 1lb for a close-up third at Chelmsford recently. Shalfa appreciated the first-time visor when scoring over C&D latest and heads the list of dangers from Masqool.

SHALFA showed the benefit of a change of headgear when going in over C&D and can make light of a 3 lb rise in the weights with the visor again reached for. Renesmee didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Wolverhampton last time and is feared most ahead of Romilda and Eklil.

An interesting race in which ROMILDA gets the vote ahead of recent C&D winner Shalfa and the in-form 6yo Masqool.

SHANNON ROYALE claimed the scalp of the well-regarded Tullyhll when easily landing a maiden hurdle here in November, so it was disappointing that he failed to land a blow in a Listed handicap the following month. However, he sports first-time blinkers now and Gordon Elliott's six-year-old looks worth another chance dropping in class. Morricone was a ready winner of a handicap over the extended 2m here three weeks ago and he could prove the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Prince Palace.

SHANNON ROYALE failed to do himself justice when joint-favourite for a good-quality handicap at Navan last time but had been progressive prior to that, including a course maiden win, and is given another chance in first-time blinkers. Prince Palace made a solid start to his handicap career when third at Fairyhouse last month and is feared most unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding Intent Approach.

Preference is for INTENT APPROACH, a faller when fancied at Thurles last time but worth another chance off a potentially friendly mark

EL JEFE made it three wins on the bounce at Haydock just before Christmas in a conditional jockeys' event and an 8lb rise for that success is mostly negated with his rider able to utilise his claim on this occasion. Pretending is likely to appreciate a drop back in trip based on her recent fourth at Lingfield, while Skycutter and Serious Ego are others capable of being in the mix.

Lots with chances but PRETENDING arrives at the top of her game and is taken to quickly resume winning ways eased 1 lb for her good Lingfield fourth last time out. El Jefe rates the obvious danger in his bid to rattle off a four-timer, with Skycutter, Applaus and Kingston Bridge others to consider in a very open contest.

Things have clicked for EL JEFE, who beat an improver at Haydock when completing a hat-trick, and his winning spree can continue.

A return to 7f saw an improved bid from BERRYGATE when a close-up second at Southwell last Tuesday and she ticks plenty of the right boxes racing off the same mark on this quick turnaround. Handicap debutant Silver Trumpet appears fairly treated on his return from a 175-day break and a subsequent gelding operation may unlock some potential too. Market support for the son of Advertise would increase interest, while Irrelevant makes most appeal of the remainder.

BERRYGATE took a step forward when an excellent Southwell second last time out and can go one better now off the same mark. Irrelevant wasn't seen to best effect when a recent third at Kempton and is next on the list ahead of polytrack-debutant Wrestling Revenue and Romanee, who makes his handicap bow.

This can go to BERRYGATE (nap), who went close on her handicap debut at Southwell last week and is well treated off the same mark here.

This rise in distance could do the trick for Gordon Elliott's mare and a breakthrough victory over hurdles may be on the cards. Although a 7lb rise will make life tougher for last month's Clonmel scorer Lissen To The Lady, the veteran still warrants respect in her current mood. She may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the unexposed Pipers Boreen.

NO FUSSING made a well-backed rapid improver work hard for the win here 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go. Clonmel-winner Lissen to The Lady and Pipers Boreen are a couple of the other likely players in a good contest.

The one to beat could well be NO FUSSING(nap), whose excellent second over C&D last time showed that she is thriving on racing

That was his first attempt over 3m and the manner of that performance suggested there could be plenty more to come. Gibberwell has run with credit on his latest outings and is likely to enter the reckoning along with Wavelength, who could step forward from his fourth-placed effort here in December.

BREEZE OF WIND is improving fast so a further 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. The lightly-raced Robert d'Ores is worth another chance back in this sphere so is next best ahead of Nights In Venice, who has the size to make a chaser.

The improving 7yo BREEZE OF WIND (nap) has won in good style at Hexham and Uttoxeter the last twice and can complete a hat-trick.

Musical Diva has proved a different proposition since being ridden more prominently, as evidenced in last month's Wolverhampton/Southwell double, but an 11lb rise for her latest victory may leave the David O'Meara-trained filly vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a punt on HOT FRONT. The combination of a step up in trip and first-time visor could unlock enough improvement for the daughter of Soldier's Call to score for a second time. She Is A Keeper and Wren Officer are also noted.

MUSICAL DIVA has been hit hard by the official assessor for her recent Southwell success but had something left in the tank there and that form is working out well so she gets the nod. In-form Wren Officer appeals as the one to chase home David O'Meara's hat-trick seeke, with course-scorer Hot Front appealng as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Top of the list is MUSICAL DIVA, who has surged clear in her last two runs and may well be able to strike again back up in trip.

The drop back in trip is unlikely to be an issue and the son of Australia is capable of going one better. Caldwell has the ability to be competitive if putting his best foot forward after hanging badly in the aforementioned contest. Animato may benefit from a drop back in trip based on recent efforts.

Ready preference is for French-import SIMIYANN, who went very close on his second start on these shores at Wolverhampton and this lightly-raced 4-y-o probably has more to offer. Can Can Girl failed to fire on debut for his new yard at Newcastle but she will be a live danger if on-song, while Animato and Shake A Leg are others with claims.

Sparklight and QUERCINE appear to be the two to concentrate on. The former was fairly consistent on all five of her starts last season, placing on three occasions, but the latter, who finished second at Wolverhampton in December, might just have the edge in terms of fitness. The application of cheekpieces might also yield some improvement. Cast No Shadow is rated 6lb superior to Sparklight, but he arrives with something to prove after a below-par effort in handicap company at Kempton.

It could be worth siding with TEES HARRIET, who is bred to be a useful sprinter and shaped well on her recent introduction at Newcastle. She will be more street-wise this time and may find the necessary improvement to lower the colours of the main form contenders, Cast No Shadow and Sparklight. Quercine also needs a second look.

The step up to 6f last time didn't go well for CAST NO SHADOW but he ought to have strong claims back over 5f on Tapeta.

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

The switch to more aggressive tactics was enough for ZEPHLYN to open his account at Newcastle a fortnight ago. The five-year-old made all in convincing fashion and looks more than capable of coping with a 5lb rise in the handicap. Eagle's Realm was four lengths behind the selection that day and he may put up most resistance, ahead of I'm Too Tired, who has been in good form over hurdles of late.

EAGLE'S REALM was too free when 4 lengths second to the well-ridden Zephlyn at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and is fancied to reverse the placings aided by a 5 lb swing, Young Endless is worth another chance to build on stable debut and looks best of the others.

This can go to recent hurdles winner I'M TOO TIRED who can improve markedly for this step up in trip.

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

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

SIBYL CHARM has turned a corner recently with the four-year-old shedding the maiden tag at Newcastle when last seen. The return to 6f isn't likely to cause any problems and she could prove a tough nut to crack. Dandys Derriere went close over C&D last month and is respected off a 2lb higher mark, while Boafo Boy and McCauley's Tavern are others likely to be in the mix.

SIBYL CHARM gained compensation for a luckless run at Wolverhampton when overcoming a pace bias at Newcastle 11 days ago and remains of strong interest. Boafo Boy should have justified strong support at Chelmsford last time so is the obvious threat, with the in-form Dandys Derriere best of the others.

Boafo Boy has finally found some form and is respected but SIBYL CHARM still has some potential at 6f when things go her way.

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

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

DAYTONA LADY bids for a hat-trick having dead-heated at Chelmsford before winning by a narrow margin at Wolverhampton. The form of her latest success was franked by the runner-up, who runs in division one of this contest, and Ruth Carr's filly might still be ahead of the handicapper. Al Muqdad is likely to be competitive on his handicap bow following a couple of eye-catching displays in novice/maiden company. Others to consider are Blackjack and Secret Road.

AL MUQDAD has caught the eye on his last 2 starts so improvement can be expected now handicapping off what is potentially an attractive mark. Hat-trick seeking Daytona Lady is a likely threat, with Heartrate another to consider dropping to a 0-70.

He's had a few chances now but KITAAB is temptingly treated on his best form and dropping back to sprinting looks the right move.
