14:12 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (1/7 +75%) Big Sip	0.142857 1/7(+75%)	(6) Big Sip 1/7, Fairly useful form when runner-up over 7f/1m at Kempton last summer. Not seen to best effect (raced away from main action) in a valuable event at York final start. Gelded after. Remains capable of better and the one to beat on return. Second in both starts on Polytrack last year; major player if ready to go on reappearance.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/2 -11%) I'll Give It A Go	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(8) I'll Give It A Go 5/2, Promising sort. Second of 9 in novice at Southwell (1m) on debut 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Open to improvement and the obvious danger to Big Sip. Promising second on her Southwell debut, though this sharper track may not be ideal.
3	9 3rd (9) (16/1 -45%) Fantasmic	16 16/1(-45%)	(9) Fantasmic 16/1, Time Test filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1½m Strathnaver and useful winners up to 1m Siyaadah and Fossamagna, both 2-y-o 7f winners. Makes paper appeal. Nice pedigree and the stable does have the occasional winning newcomer; market useful.
4	1 4th (1) (80/1 -142%) Tatmeen	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) Tatmeen 80/1, €60,000 More Than Ready gelding. Dam Italian 2-y-o 6f-1m winner, won Premio Dormello. Wears hood. Likely outsider on debut. Unraced for Godolphin and wouldn't be an obvious winner on belated debut; hood enlisted.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 +60%) Shabu Shabu	16 16/1(+60%)	(5) Shabu Shabu 16/1, 40/1, last of 9 in novice at this course (7f, AW) on debut in September. Could only consider if the betting suggests a lot better is expected 6 months on. Last of nine on his debut here in November; may be one for later on.
6th	2 6th (2) (250/1 -150%) Skimming Along	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Skimming Along 250/1, 300/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (1m) on debut 35 days ago. Ran green when beating one home on his belated Kempton debut five weeks ago.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -150%) Absolutely Not	40 40/1(-150%)	(3) Absolutely Not 40/1, Modest form both starts and likely vulnerable here. Not without ability in two starts a year apart; each-way claims in an uncompetitive race.
8th	7 8th (7) (125/1 -89%) Benny The Bouncer	125 125/1(-89%)	(7) Benny The Bouncer 125/1, 80/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 14 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Fifth of eight on his Kempton debut a fortnight ago; more needed.
9th	4 9th (4) (125/1 -25%) Bannan	125 125/1(-25%)	(4) Bannan 125/1, 80/1, last of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut. Off 105 days. Ran green when tailed off on his Kempton debut in November; needs more time.

Big Sip was a bit costly to follow last season, but nevertheless showed plenty of promise and he has been gelded since finishing midfield in a 100k race at York. His two previous all-weather outings have resulted in Kempton seconds but he lacks the recent match practice of I'LL GIVE IT A GO, who offered considerable encouragement when finding only an experienced favourite too strong on debut at Southwell. Absolutely Not made a satisfactory return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines and is another to consider.

This may develop into a straight fight between promising pair BIG SIP and I'll Give It A Go, with preference for Andrew Balding's charge.

This can go to BIG SIP who showed useful form in four starts last year and can make a successful return from five months off.

14:25 Catterick Claiming Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 +0%) Collingham	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Collingham 10/3, Added two more 2m handicap wins last May. Left Donald McCain after an early fall at Bangor the following month. Not seen since but potentially a classy sort for a claimer now starting out for Archie Watson. Won six times for Donald McCain; would take a lot of beating if at his best..
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 0%) Honneur D'ajonc	2 2/1(0%)	(3) Honneur D'ajonc 2/1, His form has been a bit mixed since joining James Owen but he did win a Fontwell handicap in September and also good second at Haydock in December. Well-held third at Lingfield at the end of January but he's a capable sort for a claimer in a change of headgear (first-time visor for cheekpieces). Won at Fontwell in September and second at Haydock in December; below par since..
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +80%) Simply Red	5 5/1(+80%)	(7) Simply Red 5/1, All 4 career victories have come at Bangor for Donald McCain. Struggled on Flat/over hurdles for Mark Walford last year and no real sign of an upturn in his fortunes under both codes for Brian Ellison this winter. Four hurdle wins; has shown little on the Flat this year but is worth a second look..
4	2 4th (2) (15/8 +44%) Matchless	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(2) Matchless 15/8, Fairly useful hurdler who didn't need to be anywhere near that level to land the odds in seller at Plumpton in November. Didn't take to fences last time but big player back hurdling. Has won four times over hurdles at about 2m; below his best on chase debut last time..
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -50%) Fusain	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Fusain 12/1, Dual winner over fences during early 2023 but it's been a struggle since, offering little in 2 handicap chases back from an absence this winter. It remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Has shown only modest form over fences this term after a year off..
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -60%) Lawmans Blis	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Lawmans Blis 40/1, Achieved only modest form over hurdles for this yard last winter. Has landed 3 AW Flat wins for Ivan Furtado since then but recent AW Flat efforts nothing to write home about and best watched back hurdling having rejoined Jennie Candlish. Reunited with former trainer after a spell with Ivan Furtado; worth a market check..
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -100%) Jake Stevens	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Jake Stevens 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was runner-up in a Sedgefield novice hurdle in November 2023 but has run nowhere near that level in subsequent starts. Maiden hurdler/chaser who doesn't look ready to strike..

Collingham has the ability to go well in a race of this nature but his lack of a recent run just gives the edge to HONNEUR D'AJONC. James Owen's gelding was a well-held third in handicap company last time, but the drop in grade and application of a visor could see a much-improved effort here. Matchless is another who makes the shortlist.

There's not much to separate HONNEUR D'AJONC, Collingham and Matchless in this opening claimer. The first-named has Callum Pritchard taking a handy 5 lb off and gets the nod in the hope that a change of headgear gives him a bit extra.

The tentative selection is COLLINGHAM who would win this with ease if close to his best. The second choice is Honneur d'Ajonc.

14:42 Lingfield Maiden (Class 5) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/5 +4%) Lightening Mann	1.2 6/5(+4%)	(3) Lightening Mann 6/5, Fair form in 2 outings over 7f on turf last July. Gelded and sets the standard on return to action after 7 months off. Yard going well. Midfield in two starts on turf last summer and improvement needed, but 1m should suit.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -27%) Monty Beau	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(1) Monty Beau 7/2, €50,000 Siyouni gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner My Boy Jack and 1½m winner Navarre Express. Dam, 9.5f-1½m winner, half-sister to very smart 6f/7f winner Kalahari Gold. Starts out in an ordinary race and big player if the betting vibes are strong. Market should be revealing on belated debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +40%) Dios De La Guerra	6 6/1(+40%)	(6) Dios De La Guerra 6/1, Modest form in 2 outings over 7f on AW this winter. Bit more on his second start than on debut; frame material if taking another step forward.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +17%) Francis Drake	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Francis Drake 5/1, Modest form in 2 runs over 1m at Southwell last month. Each-way claims in a weak maiden. Both starts at Southwell, showing promise first time but not second; chance on debut form.
5th	8 5th (8) (125/1 -25%) Sharma D'amour	125 125/1(-25%)	(8) Sharma D'amour 125/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, eighth of 12 in novice at Bath (8f, soft). Off 155 days. No impression in two starts last year; may show more once handicapped after this.
6th	2 6th (2) (250/1 -150%) Guinness Lad	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Guinness Lad 250/1, Little form in bumper/over hurdles and well held on Flat debut. Has shown nothing in a bumper, four hurdles and a Kempton maiden; no appeal.
7th	7 7th (7) (6/1 -50%) Lunanova	6 6/1(-50%)	(7) Lunanova 6/1, 33/1 and hooded, third of 9 in novice at this course (7f) on debut 64 days ago, finishing with running left. Should have more to offer. Promising third on debut here in December and extra furlong should suit; major player.
8th	4 8th (4) (250/1 -150%) Rupert The Prince	250 250/1(-150%)	(4) Rupert The Prince 250/1, 50/1, last of 7 in maiden at Kempton (6f) on debut 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten on his Kempton debut a fortnight ago; up 2f in trip.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

The penny dropped late for LUNANOVA on her course introduction and she finished her race off to good effect to make the frame. The winner has gone in again since, so the form is solid, and Amanda Perrett's filly can make it second-time lucky. Lightening Mann acquitted himself quite well in a decent Doncaster event last summer and has been gelded since. The biggest threat, though, could come in the shape of Monty Beau, who belatedly tastes competitive action for the first time but appeals on pedigree.

The returning LIGHTENING MANN gets the vote with the Jack Channon stable among the winners. This is a rather belated debut for Monty Beau but Hugo Palmer's charge would rate a danger if the betting suggests he's fancied. Course debut third Lunanova completes the shortlist.

The choice is LUNANOVA who showed enough when third on debut here in December to suggest that a race like this was within her reach.

14:55 Catterick Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/1 -125%) Assorda	9 9/1(-125%)	(1) Assorda 9/1, Ended her time in France with Gabriel Leenders with a 19f Pau claiming win in January. Should be very competitive if showing up here in similar form. Won French claiming hurdle in January and could have a part to play on stable debut.
2	5 2nd (5) (33/1 -65%) Sharona	33 33/1(-65%)	(5) Sharona 33/1, Won a Flat maiden on heavy ground for Peter Chapple-Hyam in 2023 but missed 2024 and sold for only 2,000 gns ahead of this hurdle debut. Probably best watched. Won Flat maiden in October 2023; sold for 2,000gns last August; may be best watched.
3	3 3rd (3) (50/1 -100%) Carrigeen Ardisia	50 50/1(-100%)	(3) Carrigeen Ardisia 50/1, 13/2, weakened to finish seventh of 9 in a Newcastle bumper in January. Best watched now hurdling. Attracted market support on debut in bumper but finished soundly beaten.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (1/16 +88%) Magical Annie	0.0625 1/16(+88%)	(2) Magical Annie 1/16, Bumper winner who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien when seeing off 7 rivals in a 2m Wetherby novice on soft last month. Should have more to offer and can defy a penalty. Won at Wetherby last month on second hurdle start and leading claims on that form.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

MAGICAL ANNIE took a big step forwards when getting off the mark over hurdles at Wetherby last month and the six-year-old is the one to beat on that evidence, despite a 7lb penalty. Assorda won on her final start in France earlier this year and has to be of some interest on her UK debut, while Uokhun is the pick of the remainder.

MAGICAL ANNIE should have more to come on the back of her Wetherby success and is preferred to Paula Smith's French recruit Assorda.

Having won at Wetherby in February on her second hurdle start, MAGICAL ANNIE can defy a penalty and follow up.

15:12 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (13/2 -44%) Profit And Loss	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(3) Profit And Loss 13/2, Three wins on Jersey last summer. Might have needed run after 6 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 11 days ago, never nearer. Tom Marquand takes the ride. Six wins on Jersey but just one on the mainland; needs to step up from reappearance.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/5 +26%) Watermelon Sugar	1.2 6/5(+26%)	(2) Watermelon Sugar 6/5, Won 11-runner C&D handicap 26 days ago. Should remain very competitive after a 6 lb rise. 2-2 over C&D; up 6lb but much respected under conditions that suit him so well.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/4 +55%) Harry Brown	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(4) Harry Brown 9/4, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023 but has reached the frame over C&D on all 4 outings this year, the last 2 in blinkers. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Won twice over C&D off marks in the 80s at the start of 2023; interesting back up in trip.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 -100%) Rosenpur	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(1) Rosenpur 11/2, Pair of 5f Wolverhampton wins this year. Also went close there on penultimate start and has racing wide from a poor draw as an excuse for her latest effort. Big player under Fentiman. Consistent on Tapeta during the winter, but finished last in latest start; enough to prove.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -60%) Okami	16 16/1(-60%)	(5) Okami 16/1, Course winner. Fourth of 12 in C&D handicap when last seen in November. Needs to build on that back from a break. 15lb below last winning mark, but his record fresh suggests the run may be needed.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A wide draw and drop in distance didn't see Rosenpur to best effect when finishing last over 5f at Wolverhampton recently, but there is a suspicion that the five-year-old still has more to offer. Regardless, WATERMELON SUGAR arrives on the back of a ready triumph over C&D and a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent Chelsea Banham's inmate from following up. Harry Brown is the pick of the remainder.

ROSENPUR had a ready excuse last time and can land a third win of 2025 with Warren Fentiman taking a useful 7 lb off. Last month's C&D scorer Watermelon Sugar is feared most.

This can go to WATERMELON SUGAR who won in good style here last month. A 6lb rise may not stop him from making it 3-3 over C&D.

15:25 Catterick Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (10/3 +44%) Ensel Du Perche	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(4) Ensel Du Perche 10/3, A dual 17f chase winner last term and showed he still has plenty to offer when beating a pair of subsequent winners over C&D on New Year's Day. Needs to shrug off a poor run at Newcastle since, however. Inconsistent 11yo who was tailed off last time but has won three of his last eight starts.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/6 -56%) Treaty Boy	0.833333 5/6(-56%)	(2) Treaty Boy 5/6, Made a winning chase debut over C&D on final run for Rebecca Menzies and first win since (over a year) for this yard when making all over C&D last week, jumping well from the front. This track clearly suits his style so obvious claims under a penalty. Comfortable C&D win last week and a 7lb penalty may not stop him at his favourite course.
3	3 3rd (3) (28/1 +15%) Mcgrath From Clune	28 28/1(+15%)	(3) Mcgrath From Clune 28/1, Good second in handicap chase at Thurles a year ago but has gone the wrong way since (no promise both starts for this yard). There's been no return to form since joining this yard and a major turnaround is needed.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (11/4 +8%) Beny Nahar Road	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(1) Beny Nahar Road 11/4, Fairly useful maiden on Flat and runner-up 4 times over hurdles for Paul Nicholls. Filled same spot on yard debut in September but just respectable efforts switched to fences last 2 starts. Free-going sort. Yet to win but encouraging run at Newcastle on second chase run; could be in the shake-up.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

TREATY BOY appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over C&D eight days ago and even a 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop the son of Well Chosen from following up. Ensel Du Perche failed to fire last time but is a player based on his track-and-trip victory the time before. Cases can be made for Beny Nahar Road and McGrath From Clune, but the former is the pick of the pair.

An excellent opportunity for TREATY BOY to follow up under a penalty at a track that evidently suits. Beny Nahar Road is selected for the forecast.

Catterick brings out the best in TREATY BOY, who won comfortably over C&D last week, and he can defy a 7lb penalty.

15:42 Lingfield Listed (Class 1) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/2 +21%) Rebel's Gamble	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(3) Rebel's Gamble 11/2, Promising type. Won 6f novices at Southwell and Newcastle in January. Lost unbeaten record but improved again when second of 5 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 26 days ago. Tackles 7f for the first time. Should have more to offer and leading claims. Won twice before failing to concede 15lb to a progressive rival last time; respected.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/8 -8%) Rajeko	1.625 13/8(-8%)	(2) Rajeko 13/8, Useful colt. Two wins from 4 runs last year. Good 2½ lengths second of 10 in valuable event in Qatar on reappearance (7f, good) 17 days ago. Chelmsford winner in December and second in a Local Group 2 in Qatar last month; player.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -122%) Bountiful	5 5/1(-122%)	(4) Bountiful 5/1, Won twice on turf last summer and excellent 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to Arabian Dusk in Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good) in July. Not seen since but sets the standard on return. Progressive on turf last year, ending with fourth in a Newmarket Group 2; high on list.
4	6 4th (6) (40/1 +39%) Enola Holmes	40 40/1(+39%)	(6) Enola Holmes 40/1, Winner of 6f novice at Wolverhampton in February. Just touched off under a penalty there (6f again) since but has something to find on form stepping up in class. A win and a close second at Wolverhampton last month, but is in at the deep end here.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -38%) Cabelleroso	22 22/1(-38%)	(1) Cabelleroso 22/1, Hooded first time, improved to win 9-runner novice (11/2) at Chelmsford (7f) in December. Will need to find another chunk of improvement if he's to bridge the significant step up in class here. Won well at Chelmsford in December but he needs plenty more in this company.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -71%) Raneenn	12 12/1(-71%)	(7) Raneenn 12/1, Raced over 6f on turf last year, winning maiden/novice events. Found out when stepped up to listed class at York on final start in October. Steps up to 7f and switches to AW on reappearance for top yard no stranger to success in this race. Dual turf winner last year; plenty to find after five months off but related to AW winners.
7th	5 7th (5) (15/2 +25%) Dance In The Storm	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Dance In The Storm 15/2, Twice-raced winner. 8/11, won 8-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7f) 37 days ago. This demands a good deal more but she's open to further progress for leading connections. Won at Wolverhampton on second start; likely to win more races but perhaps not this one.

Although thwarted in her hat-trick bid when finishing fourth in the Group 2 Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket last July, BOUNTIFUL lost little in defeat and she makes grand appeal on her all-weather/seasonal debut. George Boughey's filly is a potential improver stepping up in trip and she edges the vote over Rebel's Gamble. The son of Dark Angel boasts a recent run and he warrants respect on the back of that solid second at Southwell. Rajeko and Dance In The Storm are noted too.

REBEL'S GAMBLE has come a long way in a short time and can take the step up to listed level in his stride now tackling 7f for the first time. Bountiful will be a danger if replicating the form of her Group 2 fourth when last seen in July. Rajeko looks best of the rest.

The choice is RAJEKO who made a pleasing return when second in a Local Group 2 in Qatar last month. He can take another step forward.

15:55 Catterick Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/10 +76%) Hostile Hotelier	1.1 11/10(+76%)	(1) Hostile Hotelier 11/10, Ran up to best when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, despite typically lugging right under pressure. Holding his form well of late and no surprise if he's thereabouts again. Consistent performer who was second of ten finishers at Musselburgh last month..
2	3 2nd (3) (10/11 +44%) Edgewell	0.909091 10/11(+44%)	(3) Edgewell 10/11, Rejuvenated by the refitting of a visor/return to hurdling of late, following up from Southwell under a penalty with a bit to spare at Fakenham (23.4f, good, 13/8) 19 days ago, albeit suited by way race developed. Should go well again. Has taken form to a new level over hurdles with wins at Southwell and Fakenham last month..
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +73%) Balkotic	9 9/1(+73%)	(5) Balkotic 9/1, C&D winner whose last win came in 2022 and was running well below form when last seen in the autumn. Others preferred. On a good mark after some lacklustre efforts on last four starts but a bit to prove now..

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

EDGEWELL supplemented his Southwell triumph when scoring with something in hand at Fakenham 19 days ago. Although Rebecca Menzies' charge is a further 6lb higher in the ratings, he still looks ahead of the handicapper and a hat-trick may beckon. The biggest threat may emerge from Hostile Hotelier, who showed a bit more when runner-up at Musselburgh last month. Ridin Solo is also noted.

There's plenty of hope in RIDIN SOLO's pedigree that he'll stay the longer trip, so Donald McCain's consistent 8-y-o is taken to follow up his Sedgefield maiden win back in handicap company. Hostile Hotelier and Edgewell both arrive in top form also and are obvious threats.

This is all about EDGEWELL (nap) who has taken off on his last two starts. The consistent Hostile Hotelier is second choice.

16:12 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +50%) Kitaro Kich	1 1/1(+50%)	(1) Kitaro Kich 1/1, Proved better than ever when taking 10-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 6 days ago, comfortably. Looks well in under 5 lb penalty and is one for shortlist. Won two of last three starts and won in fine style last time; 5lb penalty may not stop him.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -118%) Split Elevens	12 12/1(-118%)	(4) Split Elevens 12/1, Three-time C&D winner who got back on scoreboard when taking 9-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago by neck from Kondratiev Wave. Just 2 lb higher now and not taken lightly. Has won six of his last 12 starts including two over C&D; should go well again..
3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 -136%) Twitch	33 33/1(-136%)	(8) Twitch 33/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in September. 16/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 139 days. Others more persuasive. Dual winner at Chelmsford last year, but has no great record after a break of this length.
4	12 4th (12) (10/1 +50%) Ashford Hill	10 10/1(+50%)	(12) Ashford Hill 10/1, C&D winner. Winner here in November. Last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 10/1) 28 days ago. Others have achieved more. 1lb higher than for her win over C&D in November, but has been done no favours by the draw.
5th	11 5th (11) (15/2 +38%) Rabinal	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(11) Rabinal 15/2, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win here in August. 15/2, good third of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 31 days ago, very slowly away. Others more convincing. Has become inconsistent, but is 6lb lower than when winning this race last year.
6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 -20%) Kondratiev Wave	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Kondratiev Wave 12/1, Course winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. Good neck second of 9 to Split Elevens in handicap (13/8) at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago. Merits consideration. Just beaten by Split Elevens at Kempton last time; 1lb better off; shouldn't be far away.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -300%) Global Warning	80 80/1(-300%)	(10) Global Warning 80/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. 40/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago. Others look better treated. 2lb lower than for his win over C&D in September; below form lately and drawn wide.
8th	7 8th (7) (18/1 -125%) Portoro	18 18/1(-125%)	(7) Portoro 18/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. 2/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Warrants respect. Running consistently well at Southwell lately, but has won on Polytrack; hard to rule out.
9th	3 9th (3) (4/1 +27%) Runaround Sioux	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Runaround Sioux 4/1, Been given a chance by the assessor and arrives on back of solid placed efforts the last twice, latest when second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/4) 8 days ago. Likely player. 1-13 but ran well when second over 8.6f at Wolverhampton recently; 7f may suit her better.
10th	5 10th (5) (25/1 -79%) Shot Of Love	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Shot Of Love 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 18/1) 15 days ago. Others preferred. 8lb below last winning mark and shaped as though the return to 7f would suit last time.

Kitaro Kich relished a return to this 7f distance when scoring with something in hand at Chelmsford six days ago. However, a quick turnaround and a 5lb penalty does demand more from the five-year-old and SPLIT ELEVENS is marginally preferred. John Butler's inmate arrives on the back of a victory at Kempton and a mere 2lb rise looks lenient. Portoro, Kondratiev Wave and Runaround Sioux all warrant respect as well.

KITARO KICH arrives at the top of his game and is taken to secure his third victory of the year. Runaround Sioux and Split Elevens may provide the chief threat.

The vote goes to KITARO KICH who appeared to score with plenty in hand at Chelmsford recently and can make light of his 5lb penalty.

This looks a trappy affair so only a tentative vote goes to ONE HORSE TOWN. Harry Derham's gelding stayed on into third over 1m3f here last week and, with his stamina drawn out further, he gets the vote to score. Nobleman was runner-up behind a potentially useful colt over 1m3f at Southwell and he could emerge as the main danger now stepping up in trip. Of the newcomers, Cracksman filly Rommie The Miracle is respected most.

ONE HORSE TOWN improved for the step up in trip when third on his handicap bow here last week and looks the one to beat back in a maiden. La Trinite caught the eye when third on debut here and is another to consider along with Nobleman, who's open to further improvement.

It's hard to get away from ONE HORSE TOWN, who sets the standard on his third here last week and is open to more progress.

3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 +64%) Fat Harry	9 9/1(+64%)	(7) Fat Harry 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was weakening when coming down 2 out at Southwell when last seen in November. Improvement required to take a hand here. Yet to make the frame from five starts and needs more time..
4	3 4th (3) (5/1 -67%) Evenwood Sonofagun	5 5/1(-67%)	(3) Evenwood Sonofagun 5/1, Belatedly off the mark when narrowly taking 8-runner handicap hurdle (12/1) at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. 3 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

Blinkers now tried but he has something to prove at present. Winning hurdler/chaser but has been well held on all five starts this term..

A return to 3m proved just the tonic for last month's Musselburgh winner Evenwood Sonofagun and a 3lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, this extended 2m3f distance may not suit the seven-year-old and it could be worth taking a punt on REHILL RELIC. Sam Allwood's charge hasn't proved the most consistent this season, but he lurks on a dangerous mark and first-time cheekpieces may spark his interest. Lahire and Born In The West are noted too.

BORN IN THE WEST has upped his game in recent starts and remains relatively low mileage. He can open his account. Lahire and Evenwood Sonofagun should also go well.

Preference is for BORN IN THE WEST who has been runner-up on his last two starts. Lahire boasts a similar profile.

Respectable 3¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Coolagh Magic in handicap at this C&D (AW, 11/2) 17 days ago. Not out of things.

Coolagh Magic has to be of interest following his C&D win last month but a 5lb rise just gives the edge to ECCLESIASTICAL. The eight-year-old was only beaten a head into second over 5f at Wolverhampton recently and, off the same mark, he could go one better here. Others who make the shortlist are Mick's Spirit, Recon Mission and Unavailable.

Preference is for the pacey UNAVAILABLE, who has bagged the plum draw against the rail and will benefit from the reapplication of a tongue strap. Ecclesiastical and Coolagh Magic are feared most.

This can go to COOLAGH MAGIC (nap) who is thriving just now and another 5lb rise may not stop him from making it 3-3 over C&D.

Richard Hughes has his string in decent form at present and THE THAMES LADY gets the nod. She improved for a switch to handicaps when scoring cosily at Lingfield last month and could prove tough to stop off 4lb higher. Blue Anthem shaped as if he will be suited by a return to this distance when letting down favourite-backers over a mile at Southwell and is respected off just 3lb higher than his previous winning mark. Toughly enters the equation too.

TOUGHLY confirmed debut promise despite still showing signs of greenness when scoring at Southwell and an opening mark of 70 may underestimate her. The Thames Lady took a big step forward when making a winning handicap bow at Lingfield and is the obvious threat, with Blue Anthem best of the others back down in trip.

Ollie Sangster's TOUGHLY overcame greenness to score at Southwell and looks to have a fair bit more to offer on her handicap debut here.

EVA'S OSKAR put a below-par sixth at Warwick behind him when rallying to land the spoils at Bangor last month. Tim Vaughan's veteran beat a competitive field that day and he can go in again. Presentandcounting was somewhat underwhelming at Fakenham 19 days ago, but a return to the scene of his last triumph may help. The son of Presenting shouldn't be far away, with Ask A Honey Bee the pick of the remainder.

EVA'S OSKAR left his comeback behind when winning a similar event at Bangor and this likeable sort could well take another step forward. The obvious threat is Presentandcounting, who disappointed on his hunter debut at Fakenham but rates a big player on the pick of this season's efforts.

None of these have rock-solid credentials and a chance is taken on DIDERO VALLIS, who ran okay last time and seems to like it here.

Sonic Pioneer made a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton recently and may still have more to offer. That said, a 6lb penalty is a slight concern and preference is for ALL COST, who was only denied by a short head on his handicap bow at Kempton three weeks ago and the first-time application of cheekpieces may bring about further progression. Backer Bilk is another who arrives here with valid form claims.

ALL COST only narrowly failed to justify strong support at Kempton last month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod in the finale. Wolverhampton 1-2 Sonic Pioneer and Backer Bilk look the obvious dangers.

Preference is for BACKER BILK with the step back up in distance looking sure to suit. The danger to the selection could be All Cost

TOO SWEET took a step forward on her first appearance for this stable, shaping with promise when runner-up at Chelmsford. She gets the vote to make a winning switch to handicaps at the chief expense of Blue Eclipse, who showed a game attitude when opening his account at Chelmsford and the unexposed son of Oasis Dream should go well again. Montrachet Girl is respected most out of the remainder.

MONTRACHET GIRL confirmed the promise of her stable debut when getting off the mark with a bit in hand on just her second outing in a handicap at Southwell 3 weeks ago and can defy a 3 lb rise. Maids Head is still on the upgrade judged on her close third at Southwell in November so is feared most.

Stylish Southwell winner MONTRACHET GIRL has taken her form up a level since joining Roger Varian and can make light of a 3lb rise here.

5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -120%) This Farh	11 11/1(-120%)	(3) This Farh 11/1, Consistent sort. 4/6, didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 26 days ago. Of interest back in handicap. Off the mark in Lingfield maiden 26 days ago; he can go well again back in h'cap company.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 +14%) Easily Convinced	6 6/1(+14%)	(5) Easily Convinced 6/1, Thrice-raced winner. Winner at Chelmsford City in January. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/3) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Only sixth at Southwell three weeks ago; needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -100%) Naughty Eyes	16 16/1(-100%)	(1) Naughty Eyes 16/1, Thrice-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. 4/1, 3¼ lengths second of 7 to Lady Manzor in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) 42 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut.

A creditable second at Lingfield on her third career outing, NAUGHTY EYES could be well treated off a mark of 75 on her handicap debut and she can regain the winning thread. This Farh got off the mark with a taking success at the same track last month and he must enter calculations, along with Political Power, who has been runner-up on two of his last three starts.

INVINCIBLE MELODY found some improvement when just denied in this headgear at Wolverhampton and this well-bred sort should be up to winning a race of this nature. Lady Manzor quickly settled matters once organised in a novice at Lingfield and she rates the main threat ahead of This Farh.

Ralph Beckett's INVINCIBLE MELODY took a step forward on his handicap debut when runner-up at Wolverhampton and can go one better here.

1	2 1st (2) (7/4 +42%) Lessay	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(2) Lessay 7/4, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 20/1) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Capable from this mark if things drop right. 0-14 since debut win but he's in fair form and has claims if he can find something extra.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +20%) City Cyclone	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) City Cyclone 4/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 13/2, ran just respectably when fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 21 days ago. Should remain competitive. Two 7f Tapeta wins in January; held at 6f last twice but he's in the mix back up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 -33%) Revolutionise	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Revolutionise 12/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 22 runs last year. 22/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, caught a bit wide. Given a chance by the handicapper. Eight-time AW winner but he's been quiet recently and needs to rediscover his spark.
4	8 4th (8) (8/1 +11%) Fat Gladiator	8 8/1(+11%)	(8) Fat Gladiator 8/1, C&D winner. 4/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) on final outing. Off 23 months but not ruled out having gone well fresh before. His win came off this mark over C&D but he returns after a long absence; best watched.
5th	6 5th (6) (15/2 +17%) Tronido	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(6) Tronido 15/2, C&D winner who raced closer to the pace than ideal when seventh of 8 in C&D handicap (11/2) 28 days ago. Edging back down the weights and not ruled out. Dual AW winner but she's lost her way in last two runs and needs to get back on track.
6th	7 6th (7) (40/1 -60%) Soar Above	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Soar Above 40/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022 and well below form in 3 starts this year. Course specialist but last win was in 2022 and he's struggled this winter.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -300%) Starshiba	20 20/1(-300%)	(4) Starshiba 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in December. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 22 days ago. Won over 1m at Lingfield in December but he's not posed a threat in three runs since.
8th	1 8th (1) (4/1 -20%) Ernie's Valentine	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Ernie's Valentine 4/1, Course winner who took advantage of a much-reduced mark on first run since leaving David Loughnane when winning 11-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 73 days ago. Has since left Simon Pearce. Remains well treated on old form. Made it 5-21 on AW when scoring off reduced mark at Lingfield; respected on stable debut.

Now in the care of Jim Boyle after scoring at Lingfield in December, ERNIE'S VALENTINE is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up off 3lb higher for a third course success. Starshiba has dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than his last win and he is a key player. City Cyclone has run with credit since a pair of victories at Wolverhampton in January and rounds out the shortlist.

A chance is taken on LESSAY, who's certainly capable from this mark if things drop right for him. City Cyclone should give another good account, while Ernie's Valentine remains well treated on old form now setting out for another new yard.

Preference is for CITY CYCLONE. who won twice over 7f last month and looks interesting on this step back up in trip.

1	7 1st (7) (13/2 +0%) Al Ameen	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(7) Al Ameen 13/2, Unreliable sort. Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 3 weeks ago, never nearer. Others look stronger from a win perspective. On dangerous mark but last win was in October 2023 and he needs precision timing.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/4 +77%) Port Road	1.5 6/4(+77%)	(1) Port Road 6/4, 14/1, wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 44 days ago, headway when denied a run 1f out. Seems consistent rather than progressive so far so others more appealing. Eyecatcher over C&D last month and he still has potential after only seven runs; dangerous.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Tea Sea	4 4/1(+20%)	(6) Tea Sea 4/1, Completed hat-trick at Southwell in January. Had winning run ended but did enough to prove he remained in good form when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/2) 16 days ago. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly. Three wins this winter and he ran well again when fourth on Tapeta latest; shortlisted.
4	2 4th (2) (15/2 -114%) Ben Y Bryn	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(2) Ben Y Bryn 15/2, 9/2, ran well with his comeback run under his belt when second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 3 weeks ago. Can give another good account. Went close at Chelmsford in his second run after a long absence; respected back up in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -115%) Vince Lombardi	14 14/1(-115%)	(3) Vince Lombardi 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Runner-up on 2 of his 3 starts for Jim Boyle, latest in 11-runner handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 73 days ago. Has since switched yards again and a market check is advised. Went close on Polytrack in two of his last three runs last year; respected on stable debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 -136%) Dakota Power	33 33/1(-136%)	(4) Dakota Power 33/1, Probably needed the run after 3 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago. Should be much closer to form here. Two turf wins last summer but he struggled on return last month and is now 1-12 on AW.
7th	5 7th (5) (4/1 -14%) Enpassant	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Enpassant 4/1, C&D winner in February. 4/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 11 days ago, just a shade keener than ideal. Shortlist material. Won over C&D last month and didn't get the best of runs at Chelmsford latest; respected.
8th	8 8th (8) (80/1 -142%) Royal Jet	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Royal Jet 80/1, 33/1, possibly needed the run on first outing since leaving Edward Smyth-Osbourne after 8 weeks off when seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 3 weeks ago. This outing should reveal what ability remains. Still lightly raced and mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove.

VINCE LOMBARDI has switched yards since finishing runner-up at Lingfield shortly before Christmas and he can strike on the drop in class off a mark 2lb lower than his last success. A shade unlucky when short of room and eventually finishing third at Chelmsford, Enpassant is likely to be thereabouts, as is Ben Y Bryn, who bounced back to form with a highly encouraging second over 6f at Southwell.

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for ENPASSANT, who won over C&D last month and ran respectably in his follow-up bid when third at Chelmsford 17 days later. Tea Sea was unable to land the 4-timer at Wolverhampton but he remains of interest with the blinkers back on, with Ben Y Bryn and the stable-switching Vince Lombardi taken to fight out third.

Several have possibilities but the vote goes to the lightly raced 4yo PORT ROAD, who didn't get any luck over C&D last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +29%) Dingle	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Dingle 5/1, C&D winner. Too free after 8 weeks off when last of 5 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (8f) 18 days ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Others more persuasive. On dangerous mark but last win was 14 months ago and he needs to rediscover his spark.
2	3 2nd (3) (17/2 -13%) Tadreeb	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(3) Tadreeb 17/2, Thriving for his new yard, completing a hat-trick at Lingfield in January. Had winning run ended when fourth of 7 in handicap at same course (7f, AW, 5/2) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Solid each-way claims. Won his first three for new yard but was held last time and is 0-10 at this trip.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/4 +21%) Mr Baloo	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(2) Mr Baloo 11/4, C&D winner. 13/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago, finding enough to hold on close home having led 1f out. Shortlist material nudged up just 2 lb. Dual course winner who won at Southwell latest and he remains feasibly treated; key player.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 -33%) Arctician	16 16/1(-33%)	(9) Arctician 16/1, 4-time course winner, latest in January. 6/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (7f) 3 weeks ago. Place claims probably the best he can hope for in this grade. Four-time course winner but was down the field last time and he's never won at this trip.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 +36%) Gunlock	16 16/1(+36%)	(1) Gunlock 16/1, Has finished tailed off on all 3 starts in handicaps. First run for yard after leaving K. R. Burke and a first-time hood/tongue strap goes on. Plenty to prove. Has struggled in his three handicaps and has plenty to prove for new yard; equipment on.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/1 +0%) Cavalry Call	11 11/1(+0%)	(8) Cavalry Call 11/1, Winner at Yarmouth in September. 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, followed a creditable run with a below-par one when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 17 days ago. Bounce back needed. Sole win (13 starts) was on turf and was disappointing at Lingfield latest; down the list.
7th	6 7th (6) (7/1 -27%) Patch's Bond	7 7/1(-27%)	(6) Patch's Bond 7/1, C&D winner in November. 5/2, took a big step forward when second of 9 on handicap debut at Lingfield (12f, AW) 40 days ago, just edged out by a more experienced rival in the finish. Significantly back down in trip but is of interest again. Went close on handicap debut at Lingfield and he's open to more progress back in trip.
8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 -17%) More Than A Feelin	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) More Than A Feelin 14/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 5/1, ran respectably after 9 weeks off when 2¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Gaiety Musical in handicap at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Can make presence felt. Won three AW handicaps since July and had excuse in tactical race last time; in the mix.
9th	13 9th (13) (100/1 -203%) Foreseen	100 100/1(-203%)	(13) Foreseen 100/1, Went with no encouragement when last of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 6 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving Adam West. Hard to enthuse over. Struggled in last two runs and has something to prove for new yard; equipment off.
10th	10 10th (10) (12/1 +25%) Rhythm N Rock	12 12/1(+25%)	(10) Rhythm N Rock 12/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Well held last 3 starts, latest over C&D 2 weeks ago. Mark continues to tumble. Has lost his way since his second over C&D last May and is now 0-16 in handicaps.
11th	12 11th (12) (8/1 -14%) He's Got Game	8 8/1(-14%)	(12) He's Got Game 8/1, One win from 3 runs last year. 4/7, proved to be a major disappointment when last of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm) when last seen 8 months ago. Makes polytrack debut. Lightly raced 4yo but was disappointing last time and has a bit to prove on his comeback.
12th	14 12th (14) (28/1 -56%) Port Erin	28 28/1(-56%)	(14) Port Erin 28/1, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, wasn't in the same form as last few starts when fifth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford (7f) 11 days ago. Can quickly get back on track. Triple AW winner but he faded last time and now goes back up in grade; has work to do.
13th	11 13th (11) (66/1 -100%) Joycean Way	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Joycean Way 66/1, Offered little making his handicap bow after 14 months off for a new yard when tailed-off last of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 61 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Unexposed 4yo but was tailed off on handicap/stable debut in January; lots to prove.

MR BALOO is 2-5 at this track and 1-1 over C&D, so makes plenty of appeal on the back of a close-up Chelmsford second and a Southwell success. Richard Hannon's colt is in great nick and will likely prove popular, likewise the unexposed Patch's Bond, who also struck on his sole previous attempt over track and trip. Tadreeb has won three of his four starts since joining Rod Millman, and the returning He's Got Game is another to bear in mind.

MR BALOO showed a gutsy attitude to get back to winning ways at Southwell 11 days ago and, nudged up just 2 lb, Richard Hannon's colt gets the nod to go in again at the expense of Patch's Bond, who is less exposed than all of these and took a big step forward making his handicap debut at Lingfield just under 6 weeks ago. More Than A Feelin and Tadreeb round off the shortlist.

Preference is for PATCH'S BOND, who went very close on his handicap debut at Lingfield and is open to more progress back in trip.

1	3 1st (3) (16/5 +29%) Supreme King	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(3) Supreme King 16/5, Returned to winning ways at Lingfield in December and ran at least as well when short-head second of 8 to Shallow in handicap (12/1) at this C&D a fortnight ago, despite having not been ideally placed. Major player. Went very close behind Shallow over C&D latest and has claims if he can repeat that form.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +0%) Shallow	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Shallow 9/2, Took her record to 4 wins from 7 career starts when making all in 8-runner handicap (11/4) at this C&D 2 weeks ago by short head from Supreme King, digging deep. Not taken lightly in her hat-trick bid. Made it 4-7 when making all to complete a C&D double latest; strongly respected up 2lb.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/2 +75%) Abbey Heights	2.5 5/2(+75%)	(4) Abbey Heights 5/2, Won at Nottingham on second of only 3 starts last year. Wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 12 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 9/2) when last seen in June, so he's worth a market check on return. Dual AW winner and still unexposed on Polytrack but this looks tough after 265 days off.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 +0%) Dashing Harry	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Dashing Harry 14/1, C&D winner who bounced back to form when scoring at Lingfield in February. However, lesser efforts both starts since, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 15/2) 11 days ago. Capable if on a going day. Won at Lingfield last month but has not got involved last twice; needs to find more.
5th	11 5th (11) (40/1 -82%) Four Adaay	40 40/1(-82%)	(11) Four Adaay 40/1, C&D winner who got her head back in front at Sandown in September. After 11 weeks off, below form when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, 16/1) 17 days ago, so needs to take a big step forward from her recent run. Only one win since June 2023 and was well below form last time; down the list.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 -113%) Ultramarine	16 16/1(-113%)	(7) Ultramarine 16/1, Won 3 times last year, including twice at this course (both at 7f). Having had excuses on penultimate start, quickly back on track when third of 9 in handicap here (7f, 15/2) a week ago and he could be in the mix. Plenty of good efforts since last win in September and he's in the mix back in trip.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -39%) Perennial	25 25/1(-39%)	(5) Perennial 25/1, Made a winning debut when trained by Ed Walker. Shaped well on first start for new yard at Chelmsford in December, before left poorly placed when tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 61 days ago. Could fare better. Won on debut last June but he's been generally disappointing since; plenty to prove.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 -11%) Nogo's Dream	10 10/1(-11%)	(9) Nogo's Dream 10/1, Made the frame once more but extended his long losing run when fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, 10/3) 46 days ago, getting going too late. Can give his running but more needed as he goes back up in trip. Runner-up in eight of his last 11 starts but overall record now stands at 1-26.
9th	8 9th (8) (9/1 -29%) Grenham Bay	9 9/1(-29%)	(8) Grenham Bay 9/1, Four-time C&D winner, with latest success here at the beginning of last month. Below form when 3¼ lengths sixth of 8 to Shallow in handicap (5/2) also at this venue 2 weeks ago, but no surprise to see him bounce back. Two C&D wins this winter but he didn't fire when favourite here last week.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -164%) Dark Dreamer	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Dark Dreamer 66/1, Won at this C&D and Nottingham last year but form went the wrong way subsequently, in first-time cheekpieces when last of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 25/1) in October. First run since leaving Robert Cowell. Drawn out wide on return for new yard and has plenty to prove back up in grade.
11th	1 11th (1) (9/1 -64%) Rebel Empire	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Rebel Empire 9/1, Successful twice at the end of last year and better than ever when also winning 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 20/1) 53 days ago. Respected as he drops back down in grade, though wide draw isn't ideal. 3-5 since a tongue-tie was added and latest 3lb rise looks fair enough; big player again.

The fitting of a tongue-tie has really helped Rebel Empire over the winter months (3-5) and another bold showing looks assured. However, slight preference is for SHALLOW, who made an eyecatching debut here in September 2023 and has improved no end since, racking up four wins from six starts, including two over this C&D. She might have more improvement in her than Richard Hannon's gelding and can complete the hat-trick. Keep an eye on Supreme King too.

SUPREME KING ran up to his best when narrowly denied at this C&D 2 weeks ago, coming from a lot further back than the winner, so he could be ready to open his account for the year. He is taken to reverse the placings with Shallow from when the pair met last time, while Ultramarine helps to give David Evans a strong hand.

Top of the list is SHALLOW (nap), who made it 4-7 when making all to complete a C&D double last time. Rebel Empire is feared most.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 3) 12f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/4 +22%) Almosh'her	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(3) Almosh'her 7/4, Justified support on debut when winning at Southwell in December and ran at least as well when second of 13 in novice (6/4) at this course (11f) 44 days ago. Could be able to resume winning ways as he goes handicapping. Win and near-miss in two novice events and he's open to more progress on handicap debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -43%) Arqoob	10 10/1(-43%)	(4) Arqoob 10/1, Fair winning hurdler who ran well back on the Flat when third at Southwell in January. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at the same course (12.1f) 11 days ago and he can give another good account back down in grade. His last Flat win was a long time ago and he's finished a well-held fifth in last two runs.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +44%) Gaassee	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(5) Gaassee 9/2, C&D winner but 14 runs since last success in 2022. Encouragement on first 2 starts for current yard, but not in the same form when fourth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (12.4f) 25 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark. On long losing run but looks interesting on near-miss here (1m3f) on his penultimate run.
4	6 4th (6) (20/1 -67%) Oslo	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Oslo 20/1, Fairly useful on the Flat but without a win since 2020 in this sphere. Fourth at this course both starts on the level last year, though well held in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good, 2/1) in November. Others preferred. Flopped over hurdles last time and has bit to prove again back from a break.
5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -300%) Buxted Too	18 18/1(-300%)	(7) Buxted Too 18/1, With headgear reapplied, capitalised on easing mark when winning 12-runner handicap (12/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago, well on top finish. Back up in grade but he remains well treated on old form and can remain competitive. Got back in the groove with a smooth win over C&D last month; respected up 3lb.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 -82%) Victory Shout	10 10/1(-82%)	(2) Victory Shout 10/1, Winner at Hamilton last summer on final start for K. R. Burke. Pulled up on hurdling debut, but ran well when second of 11 in handicap (50/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 11 days ago. Merits consideration with cheekpieces applied. Back on Flat with good second on AW debut at Southwell; dangerous with headgear added.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/1 -64%) Haku	9 9/1(-64%)	(1) Haku 9/1, C&D winner who was successful 3 times at Wolverhampton last year. Again gave his running when fifth of 7 in handicap (20/1) at this course (11f) 6 weeks ago and he's not ruled out back down in grade with yard going well. Last five wins have come at Wolverhampton and looks weighted near best off this mark.

A winner at Hamilton last July, VICTORY SHOUT has since moved to Anthony Charlton's yard and, following a lacklustre attempt over hurdles at Cheltenham, he got back on track reverting to the Flat at Southwell when outrunning huge odds to finish second behind a progressive Roger Varian inmate. It is interesting that Hollie Doyle keeps the partnership intact and connections reach for first-time cheekpieces, so it might be worth giving the Frankel colt another chance. The unexposed Almosh'her will no doubt prove popular and confirmed the promise of his debut Southwell success when narrowly denied over 1m3f here. He joins Buxted Too on the shortlist.

ALMOSH'HER has made a promising start to his career, winning at Southwell on debut before sticking to his task well when runner-up at this course last time, so he is taken to double his tally with further improvement to come. Buxted Too won with something in hand over C&D on his latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Victory Shout.

Preference is for ALMOSH'HER, who had a win and near-miss in his two novice events and is open to more progress on handicap debut.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
