13:15 Cork Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RED CARPET is highly likely to show significant improvement on seasonal debut. She wasn't a factor on her first start at Dundalk in November but, being by Galileo out of a Group 1-winning sprinter (on soft ground), she could be a different proposition on her first venture on turf. She hold a pair of Oaks entries, so should progress as she goes up in trip. Aidan O'Brien is flying with his three-year-olds in the early part of the season. Sibyl Charm has moved to Joseph O'Brien after a deeply promising runner-up berth, beaten by a head, on debut for Johnny Murtagh at Naas in August. She holds an Irish 1,000 Guineas entry and she has a major chance. That Naas run was on better ground and the one caveat is that her sire's progeny haven't shown a fondness for testing ground yet. You Send Me holds the same Guineas entry and can progress from her fifth on debut at the Curragh in September.

SIBYL CHARM possesses much the best form on offer and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open her account on her first start for Joseph O'Brien. You Send Me made an encouraging start when fifth in a Curragh maiden last backend and could emerge as the chief threat, with once-raced Red Carpet another to consider for place purposes.

An eyecatcher for Johnny Murtagh at Naas last August, SIBYL CHARM (nap) can make a winning return for her new yard

Whizz Kid found the drop in grade to his liking when winning at Doncaster last month, but he may be worth taking on now returned to this higher level. TOO FRIENDLY finished ahead of that rival when fourth at Ascot in February and looks the type who could improve for the application of first-time blinkers. Nayati wasn't disgraced when eighth in the Morebattle at Kelso last time out and is another to note.

Any number to consider in a red-hot renewal of the final of this series but BUBBLE DUBI likely remains ahead of the handicapper after his Stratford success and has good claims in a race that should be run to suit his striking strong-travelling style. Too Friendly is very interesting back over 2m in first-time blinkers, while last year's second Castel Gandolfo is one to note at likely bigger odds.

Bubble Dubi is respected but the now-blinkered TOO FRIENDLY has been running well for a while and he wants this sharper test.

INNESTON came to win his race before filling the runner-up spot as favourite in handicap company at Newbury, hitting the front two out only to fade late on. He occupied the same position in the EBF Final at Sandown a couple of weeks earlier and is rated 1lb inferior to Holetown Hero here, but is in receipt of 8lb when factoring in Niall Houlihan's 3lb claim. Huntingdon winner Milldam looks best placed to chase them home.

INNESTON shaped really well in a warmly-contested handicap at Newbury 2 weeks ago and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, he's very much the one to beat. Holetown Hero and Milldam are the obvious threats.

This looks a decent chance for INNESTON to register a second hurdling success.

CHIKETTO's third place in a maiden over this trip in the Curragh at the end of last season reads well. He could make no impression on the winner, however, that horse came out and won again last month and is viewed as a potential Group horse. Something Nice has shown a real aptitude for slower ground and built upon a pair of fourth places in October when finishing second in a 20-runner maiden at the Curragh in March. He is a contender. Semblance Of Order was badly hampered in a valuable handicap at Naas and couldn't recover. He makes this a competitive race. Heartrate is another who is race fit from two placed efforts in Dundalk. He handled heavy ground over 5f at this track in the autumn and looks set to give his backers a good run. Passionate is a newcomer to monitor in the market. She is related to plenty of winners.

While several of these have already shown ability, newcomers ZARAGOZA, Passionate and Neowise are likely-looking types and may well come to the fore in this maiden. They are preferred in that order, with Zaragoza, who fetched €200,000 as a yearling, especially appealing on paper. Of those with experience, Heartrate could be the pick but Something Nice is also a player, while Semblance of Order would be a threat if reproducing his peak 2-y-o form and Chiketto is open to improvement.

Quite an open maiden but SOMETHING NICE has pretty solid credentials and gets the vote

Captain Winters was last seen finishing a disappointing fifth in Listed company at Pontefract in October and should not be ruled out down in grade. However, DUMFRIES made a pleasing return from a short break when scoring over this trip at Southwell last month, and the fact he was only denied by a neck at Brighton on his latest turf run has to make him of interest. Manitou completes the shortlist.

A highly-competitive three-year-old handicap, in which recent Southwell maiden winner DUMFRIES is fancied to follow up from that decisive success on handicap debut. Gincident has enjoyed a productive winter and merits respect back on turf, with Lion of War narrowly making most appeal of those returning from winter breaks.

Last year's Chesham fourth FINN'S CHARM represents a stable that has an excellent record in this race. Chillhi is feared most.

The fact that HOUI CHERIE was able to score by 15 lengths over 2m4f at Ffos Las on her latest outing has to make her of interest here, even though she must shoulder top weight for her handicap debut. Dr Shirocco is feared most on the basis that he has performed well for second over fences the last twice and gets in here under a light weight. Danny The Fence rates best of a modest remainder.

HOUI CHERIE bolted up in a Ffos Las maiden last month and may well be capable of better now handicapping. Dr Shirocco and Danny The Fence can battle out minor honours.

It could be worth taking a chance on BAGHDAD CENTRAL despite two disappointing runs this time. Houi Cherie should also go well.

GLOBAL FAMENGLORY found only a progressive rival too good at Huntingdon in January and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. La Gomera will need to put her Ludlow disappointment in December behind her, but Alex Hales' mare cannot be ruled out judged on her penultimate effort at Doncaster. Golden Glance arrives in good heart and completes the shortlist.

GLOBAL FAMENGLORY shaped well from an unpromising position after 11 months off when runner-up in a 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon in January and has to be considered the one to beat on that piece of form. Golden Glance was grossly flattered by her proximity to the easy winner at Huntingdon last time but is clearly going the right way, while La Gomera is worth another chance back from a break having split two subsequent winners on her Doncaster hurdling debut before disappointing at Ludlow.

There should be a big run in LA GOMERA if she can recapture the form of her second at Doncaster. Her Ludlow effort is best forgotten.

FLAMBOROUGH and Canal End were only separated by a length when filling the places behind Western Comandor at Down Royal last month. The selection stayed well on the Flat for Mark and Charlie Johnston winning over 1m6f at Catterick last autumn and is entitled to progress from his hurdle debut over this longer trip. Canal End has an experience advantage with three hurdle runs now under his belt. Point-to-point winner Zaidi easily landed a Thurles bumper last month and looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's three runners, while Gold Bullion won a Warwick bumper for Paul Nicholls but now reappears after an absence of over two years.

It was hardly a deep bumper ZAIDI won at Thurles last month, but it was hard not to be impressed with how he came clear for merely a shake of the reins, so he's fancied to follow up on his hurdle debut, especially with the step up in trip promising to suit. Flamborough and Mint Boy head the opposition in an interesting maiden.

ZAIDI looked like a nice prospect when bolting up in a Thurles bumper and the point winner should also relish this longer distance

KAP CHIDLEY struck the woodwork on his handicap/chase debut at Chepstow and Tim Vaughan's charge is fancied to go one better with further improvement on the cards. Begin The Luck finished a distant third at Wincanton on Wednesday but he ought to have learnt from that experience, and Bradley Roberts' 7lb claim should aid his cause further. Master Mikey Dee heads the remainder.

KAP CHIDLEY made a very promising start over fences at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and is hard to get away from here with the prospect of more to come. Begin The Luck could be the danger.

Despite top weight, it is hard to escape the claims of KAP CHIDLEY.

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

AUSSIE GIRL is race fit after a recent fourth place in a fillies' maiden at the Curragh. She attracted support and that wasn't a bad effort. The form of her third place at Dundalk in November appears strong. She gets a first-time hood after running freely in the Curragh. Rochester Mike has a creditable second in a big-field maiden at the Curragh in the book. He will handle cut in the ground and has claims. Tiymara was last seen finishing runner-up in a nursery at Leopardstown in October, when headed inside the final furlong after leading throughout. She drops back a furlong and can go well. The ground is an unknown for Karaoke but if market support arrives, it would be significant. Coco Hill and The Snapper cannot be ruled out.

Lots with chances but the verdict goes to AUSSIE GIRL who made an encouraging return when fourth at the Curragh, despite going freely, and could take a sizeable step forward now fitted with a hood on her handicap debut. Tiymara has a 175-day lay-off to overcome but figures on a good mark so is feared most ahead of Dundalk-third Rochester Mike who also starts out in handicaps with more to offer.

AUSSIE GIRL and Queenie St Clair were fourth and fifth in a recent Curragh maiden and the former can confirm those placings.

Even though Gweedore is now rated 7lb higher than when winning this last year, he can confirm form with the reopposing Northern Express. AUTUMN FESTIVAL arrives on a six-timer, though, and gets the vote. He beat Abduction (second) on his latest run here and, though Jim Goldie's charge is respected now 2lb better off at the weights, the gut feeling is that the selection will improve again this year. Bling On The Music is another worthy of a market check.

ABDUCTION made a fine start for Jim Goldie in the autumn, landing back-to-back handicaps at Ayr before finishing an unlucky second behind re-opposing Autumn Festival over C&D on his final start. Evidently still on a good mark, he shades the vote to make a winning return, with Dirtyoldtown, whose Doncaster reappearance is easily overlooked, and The Gatekeeper just a couple of likely threats.

Preference is for GWEEDORE who won this race last year and the 5lb claim of the highly talented Billy Loughnane is a major plus.

Only denied by half a length when sent off favourite over an extended 1m7f at Hexham last week, a stiffer stamina test looks set to suit MOONACURA on this occasion and it could well pay to side with the Stuart Coltherd-trained six-year-old off 3lb higher. Lisloran has to be of interest following an emphatic win at Newcastle, while Everyday Champagne is another to bear in mind.

STORM TIGER has taken well to fences, faring by far the best of those ridden from off the pace when third here 2 weeks ago, so could be the answer. Recent Newcastle winner Lisloran is another to consider, while Get Going was a close third off this mark at Hexham.

The vote goes to LISLORAN, who made it 3-6 over fences with his front-running win at Newcastle. Storm Tiger is feared most.

MUCHO MAS defied an 80-day absence to win at Sandown last month and a 4lb rise may not prevent him from completing a hat-trick. Neon Moon has yet to win over fences in six attempts, but he has plenty of solid form to his name and can be expected to be in the mix once more. Frenchy Du Large shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop in distance and also merits respect.

MUCHO MAS has much improved since upped in trip, scoring at Lingfield and Sandown on his last 2 starts, and remains one to keep on the right side of as he bids for the hat-trick. The unexposed Jeffery's Cross is next best ahead of Feivel, who looked progressive prior to his unseat at Wetherby.

It's easy to fancy a few, notably Mucho Mas and Feivel. However, course specialist ENQARDE has become temptingly treated.

FERNS LOCK is an exciting sort and can stretch his unbeaten record to seven in point-to-points and hunter chases. The David Christie-trained gelding decisively beat Its On The Line (second at Cheltenham last month) here earlier this season, with Er Dancer back in third, and was equally impressive when slamming Billaway at Thurles. He coped with testing ground when long odds-on last time in the Tetratema Cup at Gowran where Annamix was well held when falling at the last. Billaway's eight wins under rules include the Cheltenham Festival last year and hopefully he's none the worse from a fall when bidding for a repeat last month. Er Dancer gained his sixth point-to-point win when beating Vis Ta Loi at Oldtown in February and appears best of the remainder.

FERNS LOCK has been hugely impressive in this sphere and a four-timer looks more than likely. Billaway is the obvious danger and Vis Ta Loi is the pick of the remaining trio as he returns to Rules.

Although Billaway may well get closer to FERNS LOCK (nap) than he did in January, it's hard to see him turning around the form

A host of in-form rivals head to post in what looks an open contest, with marginal preference is for IBERIO. The six-year-old bolted up at Taunton last week and though it wasn't much of a race, his ability to handle testing conditions could give him the upper hand. Ramo essentially runs off the same mark as for his recent Plumpton success, when factoring in Ned Fox's 7lb claim, and he looks set to go well again. Barrier Peaks has been highly progressive this season and may not be done with just yet.

RAMO justified good support when opening his account for the Venetia Williams stable at Plumpton 26 days ago, and with potential for better still over staying trips, he earns the vote to follow up. That said, Barrier Peaks has thrived himself in handicaps and is feared, along with top-weight Iberio.

Nothing appeals more than the unexposed RAMO (nap), who should have plenty more to offer.

SAN AER ran an absolute stormer in fourth, for a 33/1 shot, in the Irish Lincolnshire over 1m at the Curragh. He has winning form over 7f and slower ground suits him very well. All Lies Ahead appears to be a filly with a bright future. She is now two from four including when obliging over the same trip on seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown on Wednesday. Hotrocket won at Fairyhouse for John Murphy and was beaten by a neck into second on his first start for Joseph O'Brien at Dundalk in November. There is more to come from him on handicap debut. Vocal Studies was outgunned by a comfortable winner in Naas, but he did finish in a clear second. Trip and ground are ideal for him. Secret Magician is capable of showing up well on his return to action.

VOCAL STUDIES ran a cracker on his return at Naas last month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod. Hotrocket and Independent Expert head the list of dangers.

Even though Vintage Clarets disappointed over this trip at Doncaster on his latest outing in October, that was arguably the result of a long season and he can bounce back returning from a break. He is still rated 7lb above his last winning mark, though, so SILKY WILKIE is marginally preferred. A drop in trip following a tiring finish at Wolverhampton over 6f last time out looks set to suit the gelded son of Mehmas. Catch Cunningham is another to note.

THE BELL CONDUCTOR arrives on the back of a good effort and he has a fitness edge over the bulk of his rivals, so he could be the answer to this wide-open sprint handicap. Came From The Dark is one to note down in grade and it would come as no surprise were Vintage Clarets to up his game on seasonal debut.

The hold-up horse Water Of Leith a tempting option at big odds but preference is for three-time C&D winner MAKANAH.

A case can be made for several of these, including Grain D'oudairies, who bolted up over an extended 2m at Bangor when last seen in November. It is likely there is more in his locker, but LARGY SHARK showed his appreciation for the rise to this sort of trip when getting off the mark at Ayr and he is marginally preferred. His stablemate Langdale Lane adds further spice to the mix, as does Fly By Milan.

An interesting race of its type. GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES looked potentially useful when making a winning hurdling debut in a good time at Bangor back in November and is open to plenty of improvement, so he's selected to defy a penalty. Fly By Milan scored with a bit up his sleeve at Hexham and warrants respect, as does Largy Shark, who quickened clear in fine style at Ayr.

An interesting novice hurdle. GRAIN D'OUDAIRIES created a good impression at Bangor in November and make it 2-2 in this sphere.

ITSO FURY shaped better than the bare result when third at Ascot in February and, with that form working out well, Jonjo O'Neill's charge makes most appeal. Docpickedme has proven to be a revelation since being switched back to hurdles this season and a 6lb rise for his victory last time at Doncaster should see him remain competitive. Apple Rock finished just under four lengths behind the selection in sixth when last seen and he isn't taken lightly.

Jonjo O'Neill has landed this event three times in the past five years and his unexosed stayer ITSO FURY teed himself up perfectly for a bold showing when an eye-catching fifth at Ascot so gets the vote. Dan Skelton's Farmer's Gamble is feared most on the back of his emphatic Exeter success despite being clobbered with a 9 lb rise, with in-form duo My Bobby Dazzler and Burrows Park completing the shortlist.

Jonjo O'Neill targets this race having won three of the last five renewals and he has another live contender in ITSO FURY (nap).

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY has taken really well to fences this term and should regain the winning thread. The Willie Mullins-trained mare was a Grade 3 winner here last season over hurdles and was pitched in the deep end over fences winning her first two starts both at Grade 2 level in Limerick and Thurles. She lost little in defeat when runner-up to Impervious at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Limerick Lace looks the chief threat having progressed nicely over fences to win a valuable handicap at Naas before filling the runner-up spot behind Journey With Me in a Grade 3 at the same venue. Instit has a C&D win to her credit this year and is preferred to Sit Down Lucy and Motown Maggie.

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY ran right up to her best when runner-up to Impervious in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham last month, and with potential for better still over fences, she can capitalise on the return to calmer waters here. Limerick Lace has made a bright start herself over fences and rates a big threat, ahead of the returning Broomfield Hall.

In receipt of 8lb, Limerick Lace has a chance against ALLEGORIE DE VASSY but it will be surprising if the latter is turned over

LE LIGERIEN has been a revelation since joining the Joe Tizzard yard and the step up in trip should not inconvenience him as he attempts to bring up the four-timer on ground he relishes. Iceo Madrik didn't cut much ice on his UK debut in the Ultima at the Cheltenham Festival, but better can be expected now. Foxboro is another leading contender on the back of a determined success at Newbury last month.

LE LIGERIEN has thrived under the tutelage of Joe Tizzard and a 7 lb rise for his cosy Newbury success doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from bagging a four-timer here. Nocte Volatus continues to run well and rates a solid place prospect ahead of recent Newbury scorer Foxboro.

Moss Tucker has run well fresh before and was impressive on his last start when powering three and three-quarter lengths clear of the field in Listed class at the Curragh in October. He is a big player on this ground. Preference is for TENEBRISM, though. She is rated 6lb superior to Moss Tucker and receives 3lb from him under the conditions of this race. A couple of years ago, she won the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket before being stepped up in trip. She switched back to 6f in a Group 1 at Ascot in October and wasn't beaten far into fifth. In effect, this is a drop in class for her. She holds a Group 2 entry for York next month. My Eyes Adore You holds a three-figure rating and was runner-up in Listed company on her last start. Wodao and Wave Machine will be eyeing prize money.

There should be more to come from TENEBRISM over this sort of trip and she can make a winning return. Moss Tucker looks the obvious danger on form, whilst My Eyes Adore You can also make her presence felt.

A dual Group 1 winner, including over this trip, TENEBRISM sets a high standard and can successfully defy a 5lb penalty.

This can go to SPIRIT MIXER, who really progressed last year and reappears off a handy mark. Wise Eagle and Pleasant Man head the list of dangers.

MARS HARPER never got involved in the Plate at Cheltenham last month but on overall form may prove the one to beat. The selection won twice over hurdles and, while a frustrating sort to follow over fences, has plenty of placed form including in a Grade 2 novice at Punchestown earlier this season. He was only headed close home by Lieutenant Command in a valuable handicap at Leopardstown on his penultimate start. Charlie Stout has turned back the clock this year finishing second to Stumptown at Thurles and gaining a sixth career win when beating Darver Star at Wexford last week. Routine Excellence also comes here in good form having scored over a similar trip at Thurles, while the JP McManus pair Fighting Fit and Gain De Cause are others to consider.

MARS HARPER found the Plate too competitive at the Cheltenham Festival and is worth another chance back in much calmer waters. Gain de Cause ran his best race over fences when fourth at Navan last time and remains with potential in this sphere on hurdles form, while Charlie Stout responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Wexford last week.

MARS HARPER will find this easier than his latest assignment at Cheltenham and had been in good form prior to his run at the Festival

It's hard to look past WESTERN GENERAL, who upped his game when second at Taunton last month and likely has more to offer yet. Point-winner Red Notice may prove most dangerous on his NH debut, particularly if the market vibes are strong, whilst Knowwhentoholdem can also make his presence felt.

16:05 Cork Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien's ALABAMA is a half-brother to a sprinter who won at Group 1 level and holds obvious claims under Ryan Moore. This No Nay Never newcomer was the subject of a positive report in a recent stable tour. Sturlasson showed plenty of speed in the first juvenile maiden of the season at the Curragh. He blazed the trail before running green and was headed a furlong out by what looked a smart winner. Crucially, that run confirms that he handles slow ground. He holds an entry in the Weatherbys Super Sprint Stakes at Newbury. Paddy Twomey takes the wraps off Noche Magica and he is well able to have one ready on debut. Thia and Port Louis merit a market check.

ALABAMA and Noche Magica both make plenty of appeal on paper and it will be interesting to see how they shape up in the betting. As things stand, preference is for the Aidan O'Brien-trained Alabama. Sturlasson made a positive start to his career when runner-up at the Curragh a fortnight ago and is likely to have a say, too.

Having been highly spoken of by his legendary trainer recently, ALABAMA is expected to make a winning debut

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

A chance is taken on SERGEANT WILKO, who is by a sire known for breeding sharp sprint types and his stable are no strangers to having first-time-out winners either. A costly purchase at the sales, Treasure Storm is likely to be forward on debut for the powerful Amo Racing team, while Balon D'or makes appeal on pedigree being by Kodiac out of a Requinto mare. Blue Prince can also have a say in proceedings, being one of the first progeny of multiple Group 1 winner Blue Point.

TREASURE STORM makes plenty of appeal on paper being out a sister to the French Group 1 winning sprinter Signs of Blessing and she represents connections who went close to landing the Brocklesby at Doncaster a week ago. The filly is taken to make a winning debut, with Balon d'Or and Yorkshire Terrier two of the other more likely types in the line-up.

Dominic Ffrench Davis saddled the Brocklesby runner-up last Saturday and TREASURE STORM is taken to make a winning debut.

CURLEY FINGER bounced back to form when winning over 3m at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago and Rebecca Menzies' six-year-old, who remains unexposed, could have more to offer from a 5lb raised mark. Court Dreaming was last seen winning over the larger obstacles here and remains fairly treated judged on his peak hurdles form. He must go on the shortlist along with Yellowstone Park, who has Brian Hughes on top for the first time.

HARIBO COLLONGES took a step forward when third upped to 20.6f on his latest start at Market Rasen and, with the potential to do better still now faced with an even stiffer test, he is taken to make a winning start for the Patrick Neville yard. Cases can also be made for the majority of his rivals, not least the 11-y-o Captain Zebo, who has been given a real chance by the handicapper, while Aazza and Yellowstone Park are others with decent claims.

The vote goes to CURLEY FINGER (nap) who was a brave winner over 3m at Musselburgh and is still unexposed in staying handicaps.

In an open event, a chance is taken on SOME SCOPE, who was taken out of two intended runs on account of soft ground last month, so connections will be hopeful that isn't the case here. A point-to-point winner in May last year, he ought to relish a step up in trip on his handicap bow. Others to note include Marty Time, Here Comes The Man and Aldsworth.

MARTY TIME readily opened his account at Hexham last time and this extra distance holds no fears for him, so he's preferred to Here Comes The Man, who is also lightly raced. Some Scope looks an interesting handicap debutant up in trip.

There's 4f more today but MARTY TIME drew nicely clear over 2m4f on heavy ground last time and has run well in his only two handicaps.

VERDANT PLACE has really progressed since stepped up in trip and can complete a hat-trick. The Pat Foley-trained gelding overcame a mistake at the last to score at Punchestown and followed up at the same venue over an extended 2m7f. A 10lb rise makes life more difficult but the booking of a useful claimer helps to ease the burden. Favori De Champdou completed a hat-trick when taking a Grade 2 over this distance at the Limerick Christmas meeting, with Harry Des Ongrais back in third, but spoiled his chance by running too freely in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham. Seabank Bistro ran too bad to be true in the same Grade 1 and both could easily bounce back here. Western Walk scored in good style on his first start for Jonathan Sweeney after a nine-month break, while others to consider include Landrake and Hardy Bloke.

VERDANT PLACE has improved with each run since being switched to handicaps and can complete the hat-trick with further progress likely. Seabank Bistro is worth another chance on handicap bow having been outclassed in the Albert Bartlett last time, with Western Walk another to consider after an impressive debut win for this stable.

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU disappointed at the Festival but had previously looked smart when winning a Grade 2 and he's on a good mark

KYM EYRE may have found the drop to an extended 2m5f against her when third at Taunton and Evan Williams' mare, who found only one too strong over 3m at Ffos Las prior to that, can show her appreciation for this return to a stiffer test. Galop Du Bosc bounced back to form with a creditable runner-up effort at Chepstow and he's feared most with the tongue-tie and blinkers retained. Kings Krackertara wasn't far behind in fourth on that occasion and completes the shortlist.

GALOP DU BOSC bounced back to form in first-time blinkers and a tongue strap at Chepstow last time and, in quite a weak race, he makes most appeal. Kings Krackertara is an obvious threat if she can build on her latest effort, and first-time cheekpieces look a plus for Kym Eyre.

The suggestion is KINGS KRACKERTARA who stayed on nicely over 3m last time and may have more to come at this trip.

HARRY'S HILL is a five-time winer over the minimum distance and has form on all types of ground. He rattled up a hat-trick last term before finishing third on heavy terrain at Navan and showed up well for a long way on his comeback at the Curragh. Sounds Of Spring is a spring/autumn campaigner with a preference for testing ground. A winner on heavy ground at the Curragh in October, he also shaped well on his return to action when third at Naas last month. Dual C&D winner Screen Siren has a recent all-weather run under her belt. She has plenty of form on easy ground and, even though out of the handicap, is still only 3lb higher than her last winning mark.

A tricky sprint handicap that can go to SOUNDS OF SPRING, who should have come on for his Naas return and will be right at home again under the conditions. Screen Siren is respected back at the scene of her 2 wins, while Harry's Hill is another to consider.

A chance is taken on ALJADY off a falling mark with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. He ran well enough on his recent seasonal debut.

The value may lie with LADY LADE, who was unlucky when narrowly denied by the reopposing Havagomecca (first) over C&D in October last year. The booking of Kevin Stott catches the eye and, off a light weight, she may have too much for recent Doncaster winner Ey Up It's Maggie, and Leodis Dream, who finished last season with a convincing success at Ripon. Black Friday and Le Beau Garcon are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

PRIMO'S COMET notched his sixth success over this C&D on his latest visit here last summer and, now 10 lb below that winning mark, he makes plenty of appeal on the back of some eye-catching recent efforts on the all-weather. Vadamiah would have been even higher on the shortlist but for being drawn widest of all and, under the circumstances, Ey Up It's Maggie, who made a winning reappearance at Doncaster last weekend, is feared most. Le Beau Garcon is also worth a second look.

Le Beau Garcon and James Watt are considered but PRIMO'S COMET should appreciate the return to this C&D.

The Nicky Richards stable is in fine form and this looks like an ideal opportunity for TFOU to continue the good run as he returns to a more suitable trip, having been outstayed over further at Kelso last time out. A determined winner over C&D on his penultimate start, Knocknamona can uphold form with Paddy The Horse (fourth), while Operation Overlord must enter the equation as well.

OPERATION OVERLORD and Tfou, both of whom have low mileage, could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is likely to appreciate dropping back in trip here after finishing second over 23.4f at Kelso and he is greatly respected. However. the vote goes to Lucinda Russell's charge, who left the impression that he could be about to come good in this sphere when fourth at Ayr in February and is lurking on a potentially handy mark. Chasing debutante Wild Polly is best of the rest.

In a tricky race MAID O'MALLEY is chosen to gain her first win of the season on her second run since wind surgery.

UPAGAINSTIT made an immediate impact when sent over fences for the first time, recording a narrow success at Warwick, and a 3lb rise in the handicap could prove lenient given it's unlikely that we've seen the best of him. Croagh Patrick continues to run well in defeat and he merits a place on the shortlist, along with the consistent Fazayte.

CROAGH PATRICK bounced back to form at Carlisle last time and figures off a handy mark. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive finale. Upagainstit and Fazayte are feared most.

A trappy finale with all seven worthy of consideration. FAZAYTE was a winner on his final run over fences in December.

RISK BELLE was a well-backed favourite for the mares' handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival but came down at halfway. She looked the likely winner of the Fred Winter at Cheltenham on her next start but was run out of things up the hill. A dual winner in France before joining Willie Mullins, she's clearly on a competitive mark. Fred Winter hero Jazzy Matty is reunited with Michael O'Sullivan and meets the selection on the same terms so has to enter calculations again. Ballybawn Belter got a 10lb hike for winning the aforementioned mares' handicap at Leopardstown but gets to race off a feather weight in this stronger contest with another in-form claimer in the saddle. Hey Johnny has been running well since winning at Thurles in January and all four of his wins have come at right-handed tracks.

This could well go to one of the 4-y-os with RISK BELLE narrowly selected to come out on top. Third behind re-opposing Jazzy Matty in last month's Boodles Juvenile at the Cheltenham Festival, she was arguably deserving of extra credit having come from off the pace to briefly take up the lead and there should be more to come on the back of just 6 starts. Aforementioned Jazzy Matty rates a big threat however, along with The Big Doyen and Da Capo Glory.

WAJAAHA ran well for a long way in the Morebattle when last seen over timber and his subsequent Flat run is best ignored

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

Good Time Ahead wasn't quite at his best when fourth on rain-affected going at Plumpton last month and the nine-year-old, who subsequently made the frame on the all-weather, would make more appeal on ground quicker than he's likely to experience here. With that in mind, SHAW'S CROSS, who arrives in good form over fences, should have no issues reverting to the smaller obstacles and shades the vote. The lightly-raced Agent Empire took a small step forward at Sedgefield and is another to consider.

GOOD TIME AHEAD is in good order and this race lacks depth, so he looks like the most solid proposition. Tik Tok is a likely improver on handicap debut and a return to form from Privatory wouldn't be a huge surprise given how well his stable has been going lately.

Although unsighted in novices, TIK TOK could do a great deal better now running in a modest handicap.

BILBOA was fancied on last month's debut at Dundalk and ran well to be third over 6f. That form has been shown in a good light since and, although underfoot conditions will be very different, his dam had useful form on soft ground in Germany. Greek Flower was unlucky in running when third on easy ground at Down Royal last term and finished the campaign with another couple of placed efforts at Dundalk. Being a year older than most of her rivals is an advantage, in terms of strength, at this point of the season. Beaumadier showed plenty of pace on his first turf start at Naas and will be suited by dropping back to this trip.

Plenty of runners but not many likely winners, with GREEK FLOWER getting the vote after a couple of good runs at Dundalk in the autumn. Two Stars is an interesting newcomer, while Oneplusone is another to note.

The pace could be on the near side and a chance is taken on BEAUMADIER, who should appreciate the drop in trip

Fitness has to be taken on trust with many of these and it may be worth chancing COPPER MOUNTAIN. The four-year-old ran one of her better races last time out when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton and she returns to the turf off a 1lb lower mark than her win at Wetherby in April last year. Judgment Call and Tommy G are feared most if returning at their best.

JUDGMENT CALL was a dual winner last term and ran well over 7f here on his final outing last season, so gets the nod ahead of Star of St James, who was largely consistent for the bulk of last season, and recent Newcastle winner Showmedemoney.

This could go to the reappearing STAR OF ST JAMES who was admirably consistent on turf in the second half of last year.

A comfortable winner over C&D in February 2022, DUTY CALLS didn't manage to get his head in front again until bouncing back to form when scoring over fences at Kelso a fortnight ago, and he could be well placed to strike again on his return to the smaller obstacles. Irish raider Don't Talk can have a big say, while Artic Row was getting into contention when falling four out at Newcastle and is another to warrant consideration.

Cases can be made for a few but ARTIC ROW was unable to prove himself as still ahead of the handicapper following a 4 lb rise when stumbling and falling soon after 4 out at Newcastle 10 days ago. Providing he's none the worse from that spill, Nick Alexander's charge is fancied to double his tally. Limited Reserve may well emerge as the main threat, with Duty Calls and Burrows Hall also considered.

Burrows Hall can resume his progression back over shorter but narrow preference is for fellow lightly raced type ARTIC ROW.

This could go the way of JENNY REN, who took a big step forward when securing a win over 1m4f at this track last month. A 2lb raised mark for that success looks unlikely to stop her having a say in proceedings here, although the reopposing Inchbae can give her plenty to think about now 1lb better off with the selection. Master Grey is another to bear in mind.

JENNY REN did well to reel in Inchbae close home over 12.2f here last month, despite not getting the run of things, and she is taken to strike again back up in trip off just a 2 lb higher mark. Inchbae could again have a part to play but a bigger threat may be posed by Ghostly, who was well held in the Southwell handicap won by Master Grey in February but is better than that. Owens Lad also merits consideration.

Preference is for INCHBAE who still doesn't have many miles on the clock (0-8) and is bred to relish this longer trip.

Willie Mullins has three last-time-out winners and ARCTIC FLY is the apparent first-string according to jockey bookings. Out of a sister to the yard's County Hurdle winner Arctic Fire, she justified odds-on favouritism when scoring on debut at Leopardstown last month. Marie Philippe looked a nice prospect when winning over C&D on debut. She scoped wrong after dropping right out in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown and a line can be drawn through that run. Theatre Native, a half-sister to a couple of bumper winners who have gone on to be useful hurdlers, was well clear when falling at the last in her only point-to-point and has since joined the connections of Honeysuckle. She could be a danger to all on her Rules debut.

Willie Mullins appears to have a stranglehold on this race and ARCTIC FLY, who is the choice of Patrick, could be the way to go, with stablemates Cuta Des As And West End Victory both well respected.

We'll row in with Patrick Mullins here and Leopardstown winner ARCTIC FLY is the selection; C&D winner Marie Philippe can contend

Don't Look Back romped home by six lengths in testing conditions over 1m2f at Doncaster last week, but Lucinda Russell's inmate isn't sure to excel now faced with this sharper test off 8lb higher in the handicap. With that in mind, BASHFUL, who was just denied over this distance at Newcastle recently, makes most appeal. Beltane returns to the turf off a declining mark and he may have been freshened up by a break.

After a spell over hurdles, BASHFUL continued in good heart when runner-up at Newcastle 15 days ago and he can return to winning ways with the visor (which he wore for his victory at Redcar in November) now back on. Don't Look Back was a clear-cut winner at Doncaster a week ago and is feared most, ahead of Beltane.

Bashful comes here on the back of a good run but DON'T LOOK BACK bolted up at Doncaster last week and can follow up.

Torre Del Oro makes his handicap debut following a fair fourth in maiden company at Kempton in December, but he could struggle off top-weight and BERWICK LAW gets the vote. A winner over 1m2f at Lingfield in February, a 5lb rise may not be enough to hold the daughter of Zoffany back here, while Ramz completes the shortlist in first-time blinkers.

TORRE DEL ORO progressed with each run in 2022 and appeals as the type to go on again as a 3-y-o, especially now upped further in distance, so he's taken to make a successful start in handicaps. Berwick Law quickened up best to score decisively at Lingfield in February and will be a big threat if taking another step forward over this longer trip.

Berwick Law may improve for the new trip but TORRE DEL ORO caught the eye when last seen and can make a winning handicap debut.

Secret Contact also warrants a market check following some encouraging efforts last month.

MARGARET BEAUFORT has much improved switched to handicaps and upped in trip both starts this term, scoring over C&D last time despite racing freely, so can defy a 4 lb rise. Think Champagne pulled too hard when sent off favourite behind the selection that day so is worth another chance.

Recent course runner-up Asadjumeirah is next on the list ahead of Eligible, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Southwell last time.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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