14:00 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (8/11 -9%) Alnilam	0.727273 8/11(-9%)	(1) Alnilam 8/11, Fairly useful winner on the Flat who left behind his hurdling debut form when easily landing 2m novice here in February. Not up to the Grade 2 Premier over C&D since but this is a lot easier for new yard. Key player. Impressed when winning here in February and will find this much easier than latest task.
5 2nd (5) (3/1 -20%) Dollar Collar	3 3/1(-20%)	(5) Dollar Collar 3/1, £30,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in October and much improved second time of asking under Rules when landing 2m Hexham maiden hurdle in the mud last month (odds-on second won next time). More to come and this longer trip will suit. Kept on too strongly for short-odds favourite at Hexham in February; major player.
2 3rd (2) (22/1 -38%) Johnny Dogs	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Johnny Dogs 22/1, Off the mark in Irish points and followed up on his Rules/hurdles debut at Market Rasen (20.5f) in June. Too headstrong when distant fourth under a penalty here (22.5f) 7 months later and now drops significantly in trip with a hood also added. Work to do. Won small-field maiden last June but well beaten when reappearing here in December.
9 4th (9) (9/2 +31%) Tigga Time	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(9) Tigga Time 9/2, £30,000 buy after making a successful sole start in points. Has offered a bit in Catterick bumper and Newcastle novice hurdle and should do better in time. Shaped with significant promise in first two hurdling starts but has a bit to find.
4 5th (4) (150/1 -50%) Beat The Boum	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Beat The Boum 150/1, Hasn't shown much in 2 starts under Rules so far and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Did not show a great deal in his two hurdling starts during the winter.
7 6th (7) (125/1 -25%) Rock N Roll Champ	125 125/1(-25%)	(7) Rock N Roll Champ 125/1, €14,000 3-y-o, Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful chaser Another Stowaway and fair hurdler/useful chase winner Sholokjack. Maiden in Irish points. Showed nothing more than minor promise in five Irish points; rules debut today.
10 7th (10) (66/1 -32%) Wainwright	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Wainwright 66/1, Showed a bit when 17 lengths sixth of 8 starting out in a 2m maiden here in October. Failed to match that form at Hexham a month later. Looks more one for handicaps after this. Not disgraced on debut in October but absent since heavy defeat in November.
11 8th (11) (150/1 +0%) Midnight Alnwicky	150 150/1(+0%)	(11) Midnight Alnwicky 150/1, Sent off big odds and no impact in all 3 starts over hurdles. Struggled to get competitive when a big-priced outsider in first three hurdling starts.
12 9th (12) (150/1 -50%) National Question	150 150/1(-50%)	(12) National Question 150/1, Brother to a useful hurdler but has shown just modest form at best on the Flat and been well held in 2 spins over hurdles. Well-beaten outsider in first two hurdling starts (1m7f/2m).
8 \|B\| (8) (150/1 +0%) The Roc Hopper	150 150/1(+0%)	(8) The Roc Hopper 150/1, Well held in bumper at Hexham/novice hurdle at Ayr. Hood goes on. Made low-key bumper debut and was also well beaten on hurdling debut.
3 \|F\| (3) (7/1 -27%) Ozzy Cosmo	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Ozzy Cosmo 7/1, Fourth sole start in Irish points and promising start under Rules when landing 12-runner 2m Ayr novice in December (second has won twice since). Looked beaten when falling 3 out over further back there 5 weeks ago but remains with potential and tackles interim trip here for in-form yard. Good winner at Ayr on rules debut in December; fell heavily last month; still considered.
6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -127%) Racquet Club	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Racquet Club 150/1, Three runs on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh in spring 2022, showing promise on the third occasion. Off for nearly 2 years ahead of this switch to hurdles. Showed some ability on final of three Irish Flat starts in spring 2022; hurdle debut today.

14:00 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

ALNILAM bolted up over 2m here two starts ago before being highly tried and put in his place in Grade 2 company over track and trip last month. The son of Sea The Stars has since switched to the in-form Olly Murphy yard and he could have too much class for these. Dollar Collar got off the mark on her second start over the smaller obstacles at Hexham and, with improvement forthcoming, she could have a say. Of the remainder, Tigga Time makes the most appeal.

ALNILAM will find this much easier than the Grade 2 Premier he contested here last month and can get back on track with victory. Dollar Collar, who beat a subsequent winner at Hexham, and Ozzy Cosmo are the dangers.

This looks good for ALNILAM, who cruised to a 2m course win in February and can be excused his subsequent Grade 2 defeat.

14:20 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 (2) (9/4 +68%) The Coffee Pod	2.25 9/4(+68%)	(2) The Coffee Pod 9/4, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 45 days ago, slowly away. Looked in need of the run that day and, with the drop to the minimum trip here unlikely to be an issue, he is one to consider. Down to 5f for the first time but may have come on for his reappearance; wouldn't rule out.
1 (1) (10/3 +26%) Maximum Impact	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(1) Maximum Impact 10/3, Lightly-raced winner. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (6f, heavy, 10/3) when last seen in October. Mark for this handicap/yard debut looks fair and could go well back at 5f if responding well to the first-time hood. Stiff tasks after winning first two starts; best watched on stable/handicap debut; hood on.
4 (4) (4/1 +11%) Dashing Harry	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Dashing Harry 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. 4/1, won 8-runner minor event at Bath (5f, heavy) on final 2-y-o start, responding well. Gelded since and he appeals as the type to raise his game now pitched into a handicap. Progressed last year, winning at Bath on final start; likely has more improvement in him.
7 (7) (7/1 -75%) Kendall Roy	7 7/1(-75%)	(7) Kendall Roy 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner nursery at Naas (5f, good to soft) when last seen in September. Gelded in the interim and while this Irish raider needs to improve on that bare form, he won't mind if the ground is on the easy side. Off since winning at Naas last September, but still of interest especially if backed.
3 (3) (15/2 -114%) Mc Loven	7.5 15/2(-114%)	(3) Mc Loven 15/2, Two wins from 5 runs last year. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 16/1) 45 days ago. Return to this trip looks a good move and he could have a significant role to play if the rain stays away (best of his 3 turf efforts was on fast ground). Return to 5f should suit; best turf effort came on fast ground, but still respected.
6 (6) (12/1 +25%) Revenue	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Revenue 12/1, Below form fifth of 11 in nursery (18/1) at Kempton (6f), racing closer to pace than ideal. Off 173 days and others make more appeal. Didn't build on his successful debut a year ago; bit to prove back from six months off.
5 (5) (16/1 -300%) Cast No Shadow	16 16/1(-300%)	(5) Cast No Shadow 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 5-runner minor event (2/7) at Newcastle (5f) 45 days ago, comfortably. Gelded since and definite chance if able to build on that returned to turf on his second try in a handicap. Off the mark in a weak Newcastle novice; this is tougher but at least he is fit and well.

14:20 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The wheels fell off MAXIMUM IMPACT after a bright start with victories at Leicester and Ascot, as he disappointed at the Royal meeting when finishing last in the Windsor Castle. He failed to fire in two subsequent outings, but a change of scenery, along with the handicapper giving him a chance, makes him of interest. Dashing Harry has been gelded since his Bath success in October and is capable of being in the mix, while Kendall Roy appeals most of the remainder.

Much depends on the state of the ground. Provided it's good or faster, MC LOVEN could be the way to go on the back of his encouraging reappearance fourth in a fairly valuable 6f handicap on the all-weather at Lingfield. On that evidence, this drop back in trip is just what the doctor ordered. The Coffee Pod and Maximum Impact won't mind some give underfoot, a remark which also applies to Irish raider Kendall Roy, while the unexposed Dashing Harry also merits respect.

Preference is for DASHING HARRY who improved in three starts last year and looks just the type to carry on progressing this season.

14:30 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (15/8 +58%) Both Barrels	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(5) Both Barrels 15/8, Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers last season and similar story over hurdles this time round, bumping into one and doing well to see off the remainder in spite of a sloppy round of jumping on handicap debut at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 7 weeks ago. Remains unexposed so he's considered. Clear second to much improved rival on handicap debut in February; same mark today.
7 (7) (4/1 +33%) Artic Mann	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Artic Mann 4/1, Has made the frame all 6 runs since returning from a lengthy absence in October, latest when 3¼ lengths second of 8 to Gypsey's Secret at Carlisle (25f, soft) 16 days ago. Shouldn't be far away. Very consistent since returning from long layoff this season and runs this track well.
2 (2) (11/2 -38%) Woodie Flash	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(2) Woodie Flash 11/2, Irish point winner who got back on the up to double his tally at Warwick (26f) in November, looking well suited by the longer trip. Possibly found the race coming too soon at Lingfield next time but resumed progress after 4 months off at Market Rasen (23.1f, heavy) last month. Player up 3 lb. Finished well to win at Market Rasen last month and is now 3-8 over hurdles.
8 (8) (6/1 -71%) Gypsey's Secret	6 6/1(-71%)	(8) Gypsey's Secret 6/1, Got off the mark aged 9 despite being 5 lb out of the handicap at Carlisle (25f, soft) 16 days ago, beating Artic Mann by 3¼ lengths. Drops back in trip and clearly an improved model of late, there's every chance she will kick on now up and running. Off the mark over hurdles at 12th attempt, keeping on well at Carlisle (3m1f) last month.
9 (9) (7/1 -40%) Lahardaun	7 7/1(-40%)	(9) Lahardaun 7/1, Placed on both of his completed starts in Irish points and showed improved form to get off the mark when winning handicap at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 24 days ago, suited by the emphasis on stamina at the trip. Runner-up that day rather handed it him, but he's lightly raced and should improve. Battled well to win at Hexham last month and has scope for further progress.
3 (3) (10/1 +0%) Step Above	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Step Above 10/1, Winning Irish pointer who made a successful hurdles debut at Ayr last season. Hasn't really progressed over fences this term but made a creditable return to hurdles when third in a first-time visor over C&D in February. Let down by jumping since, however. Placed over C&D in February but needs to bounce back from lesser run last month.
6 (6) (16/1 -33%) Pavlik	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Pavlik 16/1, Improved when making a successful handicap debut at this track (20.9f) in November 2022. Well held both starts this season but has possibly been working his way back to full fitness. Can't be dismissed following another couple of months off. Course winner in 2022 but back from layoff with two disappointing runs this winter.
10 (10) (33/1 -65%) Wild Polly	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Wild Polly 33/1, Dropping in the weights but ended last season out of sorts and hasn't offered a great deal of encouragement this year. More severe headgear enlisted but can only be watched. Out of form this season; revival needed in new headgear.
1 (1) (40/1 -186%) Bushypark	40 40/1(-186%)	(1) Bushypark 40/1, Inconsistent nowadays but back to form when taking advantage of lower hurdles mark at Haydock (3m, heavy) in December. Below form all 3 starts since so needs first-time cheekpieces to spark some sort of revival (now just 1 lb above his last winning mark). Quickly back in the doldrums since Haydock win in December; cheekpieces tried today.
11 (11) (125/1 -89%) Hell On Earth	125 125/1(-89%)	(11) Hell On Earth 125/1, Remains a maiden after 26 runs and was way too free returning from 5 months off before departing 3 out at Ayr (24.3f, good) last month (tongue tied). Well out of the weights and looks an easy swerve again. Ran well to a point last month but looked held before he fell; others preferred.

14:30 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Lahardaun made every yard to score over 2m4f at Hexham last month and he is likely to go well once again in first-time cheekpieces. However, the vote goes to BOTH BARRELS, who only found the favourite too good when hitting the crossbar over an extended 2m4f at Ayr in February and he makes only his second handicap start off the same rating, so looks the way to go. Last-time-out winner Gypsey's Secret holds an obvious chance too.

GYPSEY'S SECRET belatedly opened her account when beating Artic Mann by 3¼ lengths at Carlisle recently and Sandy Forster's 9-y-o is fancied to kick on now up and running at the expense of Lahardaun, who was a shade fortunate to score at Hexham last month but is lightly raced and should have more to offer. Woodie Flash scored under this rider last month and he can edge out Both Barrels for third.

This can go to BOTH BARRELS (nap), who ran well in defeat on his handicap debut at Ayr in February and should still have more to offer.

14:50 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (2/1 -82%) King Of Light	2 2/1(-82%)	(5) King Of Light 2/1, Foaled March 29. €160,000 foal, Mehmas colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Skyblue Expert and half-brother to 2-y-o 1m winner With Feeling. Lots to like on paper and he's of strong interest for last year's winning yard. 160,000euros foal; by Mehmas; in excellent hands; interesting debutant.
10 (10) (3/1 +50%) Golden Paradise	3 3/1(+50%)	(10) Golden Paradise 3/1, Foaled April 15. €48,000 yearling. Dam maiden sprinter. Yard can ready a newcomer and it'll be interesting to see what the market makes of this Havana Gold filly. 48,000euros yearling; by Havana Gold; granddam was a 2yo winner; respected.
6 (6) (5/1 +38%) Majestic Heights	5 5/1(+38%)	(6) Majestic Heights 5/1, Once-raced maiden. 10/3, fourth of 5 in minor event at Kempton (5f) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Top yard traditionally does well with 2-y-os at this course and he's one to consider with improvement on the cards. Hindered by Bownder carrying him wide on the bend at Kempton; should improve.
7 (7) (8/1 -33%) Off The Bench	8 8/1(-33%)	(7) Off The Bench 8/1, Once-raced maiden. 17/2, sixth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (5f) on debut 20 days ago, slowly away. Will need to step up on that here in order to play a leading role. Behind a couple of these rivals at Southwell but is open to improvement.
2 (2) (9/1 +55%) Cable Rate	9 9/1(+55%)	(2) Cable Rate 9/1, Foaled April 8. Cable Bay colt. Dam, 6f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Nocturnal Secret. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run but he needs a second look in the betting nonetheless. Newcomer by Cable Bay; yard only 3-40 with 2yos last season.
3 (3) (12/1 -85%) Clay Shoveler	12 12/1(-85%)	(3) Clay Shoveler 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 5/2) 20 days ago. Similar chance to stablemate Chalena (both need to improve a touch). Sets the form standard and trainer has won this contest a couple of times.
4 (4) (14/1 -40%) Jimmy Henry	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Jimmy Henry 14/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 14 days ago. Open to improvement and it would be no surprise to see this son of Dandy Man involved in the finish for a yard that does well with its 2-y-os. May do better with Wolverhampton debut under his belt.
9 (9) (33/1 -175%) Chalena	33 33/1(-175%)	(9) Chalena 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 8/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. Place possibilities but probably vulnerable for win purposes. Possible improver in this scenario, with dam the winner of this race in 2019.
1 (1) (33/1 -65%) Bownder	33 33/1(-65%)	(1) Bownder 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 5 in minor event at Kempton (5f, 9/1) on debut 14 days ago. Will need to be far more street-wise here if he's to make an impact. Failed to handle the bend at Kempton; may fare better on this course.
8 (8) (66/1 -164%) Big Bug	66 66/1(-164%)	(8) Big Bug 66/1, Foaled March 15. 10,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Ranger Thunderbolt. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Gifted Master. Wears tongue strap. Probably best watched on debut, unless the betting suggests otherwise. 10,000gns yearling; Advertise half-sister to a 1m winner; check the betting.

14:50 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

KING OF LIGHT makes plenty of appeal on paper, being a 160,000-euro purchase at the Goffs November foal sale, and Karl Burke's colt is expected to know his job on his racecourse bow. Off The Bench is entitled to step forward from his debut effort at Southwell, while others capable of a decent showing include Clay Shoveler and newcomer Golden Paradise.

Karl Burke saddled a newcomer to win this race last year and KING OF LIGHT is another likely-looking type for the yard. Indeed, he fetched €160,000 as a foal and is bred to make a 2-y-o, so the hint should be taken if the market vibes surrounding this colt are upbeat. Fellow newcomer Golden Paradise is marginally preferred to likely improvers Majestic Heights and Jimmy Henry for forecast purposes.

The runners with experience set an ordinary standard. KING OF LIGHT and Golden Paradise are appealing types among the newcomers.

15:00 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (4/1 +20%) Grand Voyage	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Grand Voyage 4/1, Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, heavy) 8 days ago, finishing well under a patient ride. Interesting off a reduced mark. Ran better last time at Carlisle but again he didn't really threaten from off the pace.
8 (8) (4/1 +20%) Empty Nest	4 4/1(+20%)	(8) Empty Nest 4/1, Faliled to build on earlier promise when a below form third of 6 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, soft, 6/4) 82 days ago. Remains handily weighted so shouldn't be written off with few miles on the clock, Good or good to soft ground seems ideal so could do with conditions drying out.
4 (4) (5/1 -82%) Largy Train	5 5/1(-82%)	(4) Largy Train 5/1, Completed a hat-trick in 6-runner handicap chase (6/4) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) 16 days ago by 3¾ lengths from The White Volcano. Up another 7 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. Something has clicked having won his last three races from the front; up another 7lb.
3 (3) (11/2 +8%) Indian Louis	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(3) Indian Louis 11/2, Dual point winner who made a winning chase debut at Musselburgh (2½m) on New Year's Day. Good third of 6 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) 49 days ago. Enters calculations once more eased 1 lb. Winning debut over fences; not far away last time at Ayr despite some iffy jumping.
6 (6) (6/1 +14%) Raceview Road	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) Raceview Road 6/1, Multiple point winner who has been placed only start in bumpers and a pair of 2m4f Newcastle novice hurdles. No forlorn hope now going chasing. Eyecatching Irish form; well held in two hurdles for this yard but now goes chasing.
2 (2) (10/1 -25%) Everyday Champagne	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Everyday Champagne 10/1, First run since leaving Nicky Richards when bagging 12-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f) in November. Tongue tied when a creditable fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, soft) 48 days ago so needs considering. Ayr winner three runs back; tongue-tie tried last time is removed and could revive.
9 (9) (14/1 +30%) Toombridge	14 14/1(+30%)	(9) Toombridge 14/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and posted his best run of the season when third of 6 to Largy Train in handicap chase (14/1) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) on his debut over fences 16 days ago. Not discounted. Held by Largy Train on their Carlisle clash but he has each-way hopes.
12 (12) (20/1 -67%) The White Volcano	20 20/1(-67%)	(12) The White Volcano 20/1, It's now 25 runs since his last win in 2019 but he got back on track when second of 6 to Largy Train in handicap chase (18/1) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) 16 days ago. Possibilities. Poor strike-rate but returned to form when dividing Largy Train and Toombridge at Carlisle.
1 (1) (25/1 -25%) Keep Wondering	25 25/1(-25%)	(1) Keep Wondering 25/1, Fourteen runs since his last win in 2021 and pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Long time since he won a race and this season's two thirds came at about 3m.
7 (7) (28/1 -133%) Iwa	28 28/1(-133%)	(7) Iwa 28/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in France but yet to match that form in two hurdling runs for his current yard at Catterick and Newcastle. Needs this switch back to fences to spark improvement. Not that competitive over hurdles or fences since returning from a long absence.
11 (11) (33/1 -65%) Ex S'elance	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Ex S'elance 33/1, Dual chase winner with quite a consistent record. Probably needed the run after 4 months off when pulled up in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) 57 days ago so can take a step forward now. In good form last spring and he's capable of bouncing back from a no-show; mark is fine.

15:00 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

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

LARGY TRAIN is seeking the four-timer after justifying favouritism at Carlisle on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 7lb for that success. Harry Hogarth's seven-year-old continues to improve and he can go in again, with his main danger likely to be Indian Louis. The son of Mahler is 1lb lower than his close-up third in a class 4 event at Ayr last time and has to be of interest, while Empty Nest also has claims.

Lots of these enter calculations but the vote goes to GRAND VOYAGE who hinted at a revival when fourth at Carlisle last time and now figures on an attractive mark. Empty Nest fluffed his lines at Catterick but still heads the list of dangers at these weights with Indian Louis, Stowaway John and Largy Train all in the mix too.

Largy Train will no doubt go well again but INDIAN LOUIS can jump better than when close up last time at Ayr and he gets the nod.

15:20 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (4/7 +67%) Harper's Ferry	0.571429 4/7(+67%)	(6) Harper's Ferry 4/7, Promising individual. 11/8, second of 7 in maiden at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 23 days ago, clear of rest. Remains open to improvement and should prove hard to beat. Second both runs; Doncaster should have sharpened him up and sets the standard.
2 (2) (4/1 +0%) Poniros	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Poniros 4/1, Twice-raced winner. Winner at Nottingham in October. 4/1, third of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 156 days and may again come up short under a penalty. Yard also saddles Raging Al. Beaten under a penalty on the AW but open to improvement as a 3yo.
9 (9) (5/1 +38%) Raging Al	5 5/1(+38%)	(9) Raging Al 5/1, 100,000 gns yearling, Sea The Moon gelding. Dam 1¼m-16.2f winner, second in St Simon Stakes. Likely type on paper and the market should point the way. 100,000gns yearling; already gelded but for powerful connections he needs a market check.
10 (10) (10/1 -25%) Reaching High	10 10/1(-25%)	(10) Reaching High 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in maiden (17/2) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on the second of his 2 starts as a juvenile. In good hands and likely he will be seen in an altogether better light over middle distances this season. Showed promise last season over 7f and he's bred for this trip and some more.
14 (14) (22/1 -175%) Mohave Dancer	22 22/1(-175%)	(14) Mohave Dancer 22/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 12 in maiden (9/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW), well positioned. Off 149 days. Should pick up a race before long if able to build on that improved effort. Finished well for second over 1m2f on Lingfield AW; more on her plate here.
5 (5) (28/1 -133%) Ghostlore	28 28/1(-133%)	(5) Ghostlore 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in minor event (8/1) at Kempton (10f) 14 days ago, never nearer. Open to improvement. Twice beaten at Kempton and smacks of one who will pay his way in handicaps.
4 (4) (80/1 -300%) Dream Ocean	80 80/1(-300%)	(4) Dream Ocean 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 10/1) 13 days ago. Others have more pressing claims. Fourth of five on debut and was no better on his AW return.
7 (7) (100/1 -400%) Kingdom Of Stars	100 100/1(-400%)	(7) Kingdom Of Stars 100/1, €56,000 yearling, Cloth of Stars gelding. Half-brother to smart German/US winner up to 11f Parnac. Dam 2-y-o 5.5f/6f winner, third in Critérium de Maisons-Laffitte. Interesting to see what the market has to say. 56,000euros yearling; half-brother to useful 7f-1m3f winner Parnac.
8 (8) (100/1 -400%) Mount Atlas	100 100/1(-400%)	(8) Mount Atlas 100/1, Masar colt. Half-brother to 1¼m winner Brora Breeze. Dam, temperamental 7.6f/1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Elm Park. Likely type on paper but jockey bookings suggest that Dambuster is the stable first-string. Second foal; half-brother to 1m2f winner Brora Breeze (RPR 67); dam 7.5f-1m winner.
12 (12) (125/1 -400%) Beset	125 125/1(-400%)	(12) Beset 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, seventh of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut. Off 166 days and steps up in trip here. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. 33-1 chance when seventh of 12 (beaten 12l) in a 1m novice at Kempton in November.
3 (3) (200/1 -1329%) All Greek To Me	200 200/1(-1329%)	(3) All Greek To Me 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 66/1) 35 days ago, not knocked about. Will qualify for handicaps after this and will be of interest when going down that route. Should improve on encouraging return; others have better form as things stand.
11 (11) (250/1 -150%) Snow Eagle	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Snow Eagle 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (8f, heavy) on debut, missing break. Off 6 months. Up in trip. Slowly away and trailed in last on soft ground at Salisbury in October (1m; 50-1).
13 (13) (250/1 -150%) Glad Hope	250 250/1(-150%)	(13) Glad Hope 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving John Flint when last of 10 in minor event (250/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 27 days ago. Finished tailed off in 7f/1m novices on the AW and she'll be outclassed.

15:20 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

HARPER'S FERRY has achieved a solid level of form on both outings to date, finishing runner-up to a pair of useful types trained by Ralph Beckett. The most recent of those at Doncaster last month saw him come well clear with the winner and a repeat of that performance should be more than enough to go one better. That said, Raging Al represents the same connections of both winners the selection has bumped in to and his pedigree, out of a Listed-winning filly who broke her maiden over C&D in impressive fashion, makes him of interest. Poniros and Dambuster are others likely to go well.

It's hard to look beyond HARPER'S FERRY, who went close on his sole 2-y-o start and was again narrowly denied on return in a maiden at Doncaster where he pulled well clear of the rest. He is clearly held in high regard (entered in the Dante and Derby) and should take this en route to better things. Newcomer Raging Al represents the connections that have foiled the selection on both of his appearances and this son of Sea The Moon is second choice ahead of Dambuster.

An interesting novice. HARPER'S FERRY leads the way on form and would have has much potential as any of these moving forwards.

15:30 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (2/1 +60%) Val Dancer	2 2/1(+60%)	(5) Val Dancer 2/1, In first-time cheekpieces, much improved when justifying support in handicap at Leicester in December and has scored at Wetherby and Catterick since. Shaped as if still in form when third at Uttoxeter last time and needs considering. Had a good spell but now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark at this level.
2 (2) (9/2 -64%) Your Own Story	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(2) Your Own Story 9/2, Several creditable efforts before opening account over fences at Wetherby (30.9f) in March of last year and acquitted himself well in Scottish Grand National on final start of season. Figures off a handy mark and should be straighter for last month's solid Newcastle reappearance second. Player. Last season's Scottish National sixth; should come on for his good reappearance run.
6 (6) (5/1 -67%) Prince Des Fichaux	5 5/1(-67%)	(6) Prince Des Fichaux 5/1, Very good second of 12 in Eider Chase (11/1) at Newcastle (33.2f, soft) 51 days ago. Back down in trip but remains in the picture. Bang there the last twice over 2m7f and 4m1f; career-high mark but improving.
3 (3) (6/1 -50%) Charlie Uberalles	6 6/1(-50%)	(3) Charlie Uberalles 6/1, Dual 3m chase winner in 2022. Pulled up at Doncaster last time but posted a good third away from the mud when third in Premier Handicap there (3m) in January. Remains lightly raced for his age so warrants respect. Good and bad in some strong handicaps; soft ground is a cause for concern.
1 (1) (13/2 -18%) No Risk Des Flos	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(1) No Risk Des Flos 13/2, Dual chase scorer (at up to 19.4f) last term and matched best effort of this campaign when fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Not discounted. Unexposed over this far and seemed to stay the 3m okay at Sandown last time.
4 (4) (13/2 +24%) Up Helly Aa King	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(4) Up Helly Aa King 13/2, Likeable chaser who landed 3m Ayr handicap in January. Rare poor run when fourth of five at Newcastle last time so this veteran is in the mix. Having a good season in the main; below best last time but could bounce back from that.

15:30 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Prince Des Fichaux was only collared in the final strides in the Eider Chase at Newcastle in February. However, the combination of a 5lb rise in the ratings and marked drop in trip may leave the seven-year-old vulnerable, with NO RISK DES FLOS making most appeal. Olly Murphy's charge was given a lot to do on his first attempt over 3m when fourth at Sandown last month and a race of this nature looks within his compass. Your Own Story is unlikely to be far away either.

None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to YOUR OWN STORY who should strip fitter for his reappearance Newcastle second and can go one better off a handy-looking mark. Charlie Uberalles is another weighted to go well with in-form duo Val Dancer and No Risk Des Flos also in the picture.

Last season's Scottish National sixth YOUR OWN STORY arrives here fresh and on the back of an encouraging reappearance.

15:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (9/2 +36%) Leap Abroad	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(3) Leap Abroad 9/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 9/1, good second of 8 in handicap at that course (6.1f) 23 days ago, running on. This demands a personal-best but he's not ruled out all the same. Posted a sound effort on latest AW start; remains favourably treated on historical data.
10 (10) (9/2 +36%) Tiger Bay	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(10) Tiger Bay 9/2, Very good third of 8 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good, 11/1). Nine-month absence to overcome but she made a winning reappearance last season (albeit on the back of a shorter period of absence) and merits respect. Similar type to Surrey Noir; could be dangerous provided the return to 6f proves no issue.
9 (9) (9/2 +50%) Tiriac	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(9) Tiriac 9/2, Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap (11/2) at Newmarket (6f, heavy). Off 163 days and while he shouldn't be too far away, it's likely that one or two of these will prove too good. Ties in closely with Amazonian Dream on C&D running in October; best form on soft/heavy.
8 (8) (13/2 +0%) Surrey Noir	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(8) Surrey Noir 13/2, Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (9/2) at Kempton (7f), left poorly placed. Off 6 months. Definite chance if able to reproduce his AW form back on turf. Still not fully exposed; possibilities provided he copes with the drop back to 6f.
4 (4) (15/2 -36%) Amazonian Dream	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(4) Amazonian Dream 15/2, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 3/1) on final start of last season. Hooded for this reappearance and should be in the mix up 4 lb (has won off this mark in the past). First run since C&D win in October; likely player provided he returns in same form.
5 (5) (10/1 -33%) Champagne Sarah	10 10/1(-33%)	(5) Champagne Sarah 10/1, 18/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) on latest start in October, left poorly placed. One to consider, particularly if the ground is good or faster. Generally consistent and has place possibilities on seasonal debut.
6 (6) (11/1 -100%) Dear Daphne	11 11/1(-100%)	(6) Dear Daphne 11/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 7/1), well drawn. Off 10 months and resumes on a 6 lb higher mark, so it's easy enough to have reservations. Absent since Thirsk success last June; has low mileage; the type to improve further.
7 (7) (11/1 -22%) Brazen Idol	11 11/1(-22%)	(7) Brazen Idol 11/1, Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Latest win at Kempton in January. 15/2, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago, running on. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Largely consistent; better than bare result last time; can't rule out a good effort.
1 (1) (14/1 -100%) Under The Twilight	14 14/1(-100%)	(1) Under The Twilight 14/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (12/1) at Salisbury (6f, heavy) on final start of 2023. 3 lb rise fair enough and she's versatile ground-wise, so a bold should be on the way if she's fully tuned-up. Absent since Salisbury success in October; close second over C&D last summer; solid.
2 (2) (22/1 -83%) Marlay Park	22 22/1(-83%)	(2) Marlay Park 22/1, Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy, 14/1) when last seen in November. Each-way chance if ready to roll. Something to prove, having gained all handicap wins over 7f at Epsom.
11 (11) (40/1 -186%) Violets Star	40 40/1(-186%)	(11) Violets Star 40/1, One win from 2 runs last year. Last of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Doncaster (5f, soft) 22 days ago. Back up in trip and needs to raise her game. Won a weak maiden last summer; failed to beat a rival on reappearance; not solid.
12 (12) (50/1 -100%) El Hibri	50 50/1(-100%)	(12) El Hibri 50/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. 7/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 67 days ago, slowly away. Something to find on form. Has done his winning in Class 6 on AW; stiffer task in this grade back on turf.

15:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Having opened her account in comfortable fashion at Thirsk in June, DEAR DAPHNE could make light work of a 6lb rise on her return to action. George Scott has his string in good order and the four-year-old may further enhance her trainer's strong start to the season. Fellow last-time-out winners Under The Twilight and Amazonian Dream are other key contenders on their seasonal bows, with the former feared most at this level.

AMAZONIAN DREAM signed off last season with a C&D success and, still on a fair mark up 4 lb, he may well repeat the dose if fully tuned-up. There are dangers aplenty, headed by Surrey Noir, who will be a danger to all if translating his improved all-weather form to turf, while Tiger Bay will be a live contender if fit enough to do herself justice following nine months off and Under The Twilight, who scored at Salisbury when last seen in October, also has claims.

As regards the runners who have already raced in 2024, LEAP ABROAD looks the pick. Dear Daphne is second choice.

16:00 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 21f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 (9) (3/1 +45%) Eire Street	3 3/1(+45%)	(9) Eire Street 3/1, Much improved for new yard, easily winning heavy-ground handicaps at Carlisle (17f) and Ayr (20.5f) in February. Could easily be more to come and a further 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick. 2-2 in handicaps (2m1f/2m4f) and seemingly in a steep upward curve; major player.
3 (3) (7/1 +7%) Eloi Du Puy	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Eloi Du Puy 7/1, Has improved since switched to handicaps, making it 4 wins in his last 5 completed starts when edging out Forged Well over C&D (soft) 5 weeks ago. A further 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this progressive 6-y-o. Four wins this season, three of them over C&D; might still be on the upgrade.
1 (1) (9/1 -20%) Harper Valley	9 9/1(-20%)	(1) Harper Valley 9/1, Third success of a productive season when seeing off 6 rivals over 19f at Catterick in February. Travelled like one still on a good mark when 3 lengths third of 10 to reopposing Eloi du Puy over C&D since. Respected. 3-9 over hurdles; gave good account when placed over C&D last month.
5 (5) (9/1 -50%) Kilta	9 9/1(-50%)	(5) Kilta 9/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark in 5-runner handicap at Southwell (2m, heavy) last month and bettered that form when ½-length second of 8 to Yealand at Haydock (19f, soft) 17 days ago, finishing strongly. This slightly longer trip should suit even better. High on the shortlist. Won comfortably on last month's handicap debut and ran big race in defeat last time.
8 (8) (10/1 +0%) Forged Well	10 10/1(+0%)	(8) Forged Well 10/1, Point recruit who created a good impression when making successful hurdle debut in Carlisle novice (19f) in December. Pulled up on Newcastle handicap debut but quickly back on track when short-head second of 10 to reopposing Eloi Du Puy over C&D (soft) 36 days ago. Bounced back from poor handicap debut when very close second over C&D last month.
13 (13) (10/1 +29%) Les's Legacy	10 10/1(+29%)	(13) Les's Legacy 10/1, Three-time hurdle winner last season, including this race off an identical mark. Drawn a blank this term but back to form when second at Newcastle 4 weeks ago, suggesting he could be primed for another bold bid in this contest. Won this race off today's mark a year ago and looked back in good form last month.
15 (15) (11/1 +39%) Faithfulflyer	11 11/1(+39%)	(15) Faithfulflyer 11/1, Dual winner last season (including here) and also runner-up in a Series Final at Musselburgh. Hasn't hit the same heights this term but his mark has eased as a result and it wouldn't be any surprise to see him bounce back to form with a bang. Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut; has more to prove than several of these.
2 (2) (14/1 -115%) North Parade	14 14/1(-115%)	(2) North Parade 14/1, Has struck up a good relationship with 7 lb claimer William Maggs this winter, completing a Newcastle hat-trick and placed at Wetherby and Haydock last twice. Yard won this 2 years ago. Won three times at Newcastle during the winter and was placed on last two outings; player.
12 (12) (16/1 -14%) Kingston Bridge	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Kingston Bridge 16/1, Placed twice in handicaps towards the end of 2023 but his last 2 runs have been a little disappointing. Others are obvious. Placed over 2m6f here in December but disappointed over C&D last month; others preferred.
11 (11) (16/1 +27%) Dream Boy	16 16/1(+27%)	(11) Dream Boy 16/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points and also struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in 2m course maiden (heavy) just after Christmas. Creditable 7 lengths fourth on C&D handicap debut 4 weeks ago but 3 of today's rivals were ahead of him. Very respectable fourth over C&D on handicap debut; 1lb drop not enough to tempt, though.
7 (7) (18/1 -13%) Singapore Trip	18 18/1(-13%)	(7) Singapore Trip 18/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler in France and placed in handicaps at Newcastle and Wetherby around the turn of the year for new yard. A bit too keen for his own good when a well-held fourth at Catterick latest. Hughes back in the plate now. Below form last time but was placed in good-quality Wetherby handicap two starts ago.
14 (14) (18/1 -100%) Zwicky	18 18/1(-100%)	(14) Zwicky 18/1, Perfect start to this season, bagging back-to-back handicaps at Sedgefield and Carlisle. Has found it tougher from higher marks since but latest Catterick third was highly creditable as the race wasn't run to suit his hold-up style. Sound effort when placed at Catterick last month but needs to find hidden reserves here.
10 (10) (20/1 -11%) Paddy The Horse	20 20/1(-11%)	(10) Paddy The Horse 20/1, Won off higher marks last season and confirmed his return to form when second of 5 over 2m at Hexham 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Another who can't be discounted. Placed on last two outings but others appeal more all the same.
16 (16) (25/1 -56%) Libor Lad	25 25/1(-56%)	(16) Libor Lad 25/1, Winner of 2½m handicaps in the mud at Uttoxeter and Doncaster this winter. Checked out tamely when only seventh of 9 at Doncaster latest so needs first-time cheekpieces (which are added to his regular tongue tie) help him to bounce straight back to form. Took form to whole new level when winning comfortably two starts ago; safey held since.
6 (6) (66/1 -371%) Wholeofthemoon	66 66/1(-371%)	(6) Wholeofthemoon 66/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who left his previous hurdle efforts behind when making a successful handicap debut over 19.5f at Doncaster in December. Creditable placed efforts on both starts since but will need a bit more to overcome this mark. Both runs since 80-1 win were perfectly respectable; needs to kick on again, though.
4 (4) (66/1 -65%) Moonlight Glory	66 66/1(-65%)	(4) Moonlight Glory 66/1, Three wins in a productive season but well held in a similarly competitive handicap at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago, suggesting her mark is about right for now. Unable to land a of blow in another of these series finals at Musselburgh last week..

16:00 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Having completed a quick-fire double at Ayr in February with some authority, EIRE STREET is taken to defy a further 8lb rise in the ratings. Jackie Stephen's gelding has proved a different proposition since handicapping and there looks to be more in the locker. The main threat may emerge from the progressive Eloi Du Puy, who has enjoyed a fruitful campaign with four victories to his name, while North Parade should give another good account.

EIRE STREET was the ready winner of his first 2 handicaps in February and could easily still be well treated after an 8 lb rise. Kilta is another who has quickly made his mark in handicaps and is second choice ahead of the thriving Eloi Du Puy. Hold-up performer Zwicky should be picking off a few late if getting a good pace to aim at, while Faithfulflyer is well treated if a short break helps to spark a revival.

Eire Street launched his handicap career with two emphatic wins but preference is for KILTA, who also still has potential.

16:20 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (4/1 +38%) Crazy Luck	4 4/1(+38%)	(7) Crazy Luck 4/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Now 6 lb below last winning mark and she will be a threat if on a going day. Caught the eye on seasonal debut; ran well over C&D last May; one to consider.
5 (5) (4/1 +20%) Bishop's Crown	4 4/1(+20%)	(5) Bishop's Crown 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Doncaster (6f, heavy), all out. Off 8 months and will need to raise his game a touch in order to follow up. Consistent sort who opened his account at Doncaster when last seen; up just 1lb.
8 (8) (6/1 +8%) Coco Bear	6 6/1(+8%)	(8) Coco Bear 6/1, Three wins from 7 runs last year. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, heavy). Off 163 days. Successful over C&D on reappearance last season and he's dangerous to discount. Revival likely; 3-3 under Saffie Osborne, including a success in this race last year.
3 (3) (7/1 -27%) Capote's Dream	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Capote's Dream 7/1, Three-time C&D winner. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Goodwood (6f, good to soft). Off 6 months and cheekpieces back on. Likely to find one or two too good. Good record at Windsor; placed in this contest in 2021 and 2023; solid chance.
2 (2) (15/2 -50%) Sergeant Pep	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(2) Sergeant Pep 15/2, Course winner. Latest win at Bath in October. Seventh of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Should come on for that run and will be a threat if the ground is on the easy side. Successful in two of his last four turf runs; suited by soft ground.
9 (9) (9/1 +44%) Alcazan	9 9/1(+44%)	(9) Alcazan 9/1, 8½ lengths last of 10 to Cell Sa Beela in listed race at Ascot (7f, good to firm, 125/1) when last seen 6 months ago. Others more persuasive. Has never won when fresh; best watched on reappearance.
4 (4) (9/1 -13%) Punchbowl Flyer	9 9/1(-13%)	(4) Punchbowl Flyer 9/1, Three-time C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 14/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Bath (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Something to find on form. 3-5 at Windsor; runner-up in higher grade on most recent course start; possibilities.
6 (6) (12/1 -85%) Expert Agent	12 12/1(-85%)	(6) Expert Agent 12/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 18/1) 43 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in trip and, though 0-6 on turf, he made the frame both starts over C&D last summer and will be in with a shout if the ground is good or faster. Good third off 9lb higher over C&D on last turf appearance; not dismissed.
10 (10) (16/1 -33%) Prince Of Bel Lir	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Prince Of Bel Lir 16/1, Bit below form fourth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 12/1). Off 8 months and while he's not without each-way hope, others make more appeal for win purposes. Back in better form when last seen; still favourably treated on historical data.
11 (11) (25/1 -79%) Sugar Hill	25 25/1(-79%)	(11) Sugar Hill 25/1, Unreliable sort. 17/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 33 days ago. Down in trip on this debut for new yard and others look stronger. Maiden; drop to sprinting presents a question mark; new yard.
1 (1) (66/1 -915%) Hodler	66 66/1(-915%)	(1) Hodler 66/1, 66/1, last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago. Others make more appeal. On a workable mark but has something to prove back down in trip.

16:20 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

First-time cheekpieces were enough for Bishop's Crown to land the spoils at Doncaster in August and another prominent showing is forecast. However, the Havana Gold gelding is likely to be priced accordingly and a race-fit SERGEANT PEP could be worth chancing. The Clive Cox-trained inmate shouldn't be judged too harshly on his reappearance seventh on the all-weather a fortnight ago and this return to turf could prove fruitful. Hodler boasts a similar profile and an improved effort looks likely.

In the hope that the ground continues to dry out, EXPERT AGENT could be the answer to this competitive handicap. He twice made the frame over C&D off higher marks last season and should be spot-on following his spin over 5f at Newcastle last month. Crazy Luck may also have benefited from a pipe-opener on the all-weather and she is greatly respected off this reduced mark, while Coco Bear and Sergeant Pep also enter calculations.

Last year's winner COCO BEAR gets the vote, ahead of Capote's Dream who has been placed twice in this contest.

1 (1) (9/4 +55%) Atlantic Dancer	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(1) Atlantic Dancer 9/4, Won twice last spring and looked better than ever when landing a second C&D success in mares handicap (heavy) in December. Left behind a lesser effort when third at Ayr (16f, good) last time and she can make another bold bid. Reliable winner of this last year; latest Ayr third was fine and returning here is a plus.
7 (7) (7/2 -40%) Celestial Fashion	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(7) Celestial Fashion 7/2, Gained reward for her good run of form when opening her account in conditionals handicap at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) 20 days ago. Could be capable of scoring again now that she's up and running. Beat an in-form horse at Newcastle and she tried hard enough; 6lb higher for this.
4 (4) (4/1 +0%) Lexie's Moon	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Lexie's Moon 4/1, Showed improved form under a positive ride when winning maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) last month. Ran at least as well when fourth in mares novice at Kempton (16f, good to soft) next time, so she's one to note now handicapping. Good run under a penalty latest and brings potential into handicaps off this sort of mark.
5 (5) (6/1 -20%) Bridgetjoans	6 6/1(-20%)	(5) Bridgetjoans 6/1, Only poor form in her first 4 starts under Rules but, in first-time visor, she took a step forward when second of 11 in female riders handicap at Catterick (19.3f, soft) in February. Merits consideration. Second in the new visor last time; up 2lb and in a higher grade here.
2 (2) (7/1 -56%) Spit Spot	7 7/1(-56%)	(2) Spit Spot 7/1, Fair performer on the Flat and has run to a similar level over hurdles for her current yard, bumping into a thriving sort when runner-up in mares handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, heavy) last month. Can give another good account upped in trip. Still early days over hurdles and ran a respectable first race in handicaps at Doncaster.
3 (3) (12/1 -71%) Chosen Hero	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Chosen Hero 12/1, Fair bumper winner who, with cheekpieces added, made it fourth time lucky over hurdles in mares novice company at Chepstow (16.1f, heavy) in January. Ran no sort of race when pulled up on Exeter handicap debut since, though. Better than she showed last time at Exeter and is well treated on some of her form.
6 (6) (16/1 +20%) Lady Hamilton	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Lady Hamilton 16/1, Best effort over hurdles came when third in mares maiden at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) last March. Hasn't gone on from that since, though possibly needed the run after 11 weeks off (from Flat) when well beaten at Market Rasen last time. Maiden under both codes; heavy ground an excuse last time but others appeal more.

16:30 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

CELESTIAL FASHION was rewarded for her consistency when opening her account at Newcastle last month. The daughter of Telescope is effectively racing off the same mark now that Joe Williamson's 3lb claim can be used, and a brace could be on the horizon. Bridgetjoans is relatively unexposed and she posted her best effort to date when runner-up in a first-time visor at Catterick in February. Simon Waugh's mare is a viable alternative to the selection, with C&D winner Atlantic Dancer also noted.

CELESTIAL FASHION has been going the right way this season and gained a first success of her career at Newcastle last time, rallying to get the better of the odds-on favourite, so she is taken to follow up in her current form. Dual C&D winner Atlantic Dancer ran well at Ayr on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Lexie's Moon.

The 6yo LEXIE'S MOON held her own against higher-rated opposition at Kempton and she's of strong interest with Brian Hughes booked.

16:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 (6) (9/2 +10%) Perseverants	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(6) Perseverants 9/2, Good second of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, soft, 6/1) 22 days ago, running on. Heading back in the right direction recently. Possible edge in fitness over some after his second at Doncaster; chance.
5 (5) (9/2 +44%) Stately Home	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(5) Stately Home 9/2, Latest win at Kempton in January. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 40 days ago. No forlorn hope. Rossa Ryan is booked off a workable mark and latest effort on the AW wasn't too bad.
4 (4) (5/1 +64%) Dancing In Paris	5 5/1(+64%)	(4) Dancing In Paris 5/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 125/1) 14 days ago. Others appeal more. It could be the AW isn't for him and his turf form over 1m makes him a player.
2 (2) (11/2 +8%) Mudskipper	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Mudskipper 11/2, 10/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Salisbury (8f, soft), running on. Off 7 months but can go well again. Impressed at Salisbury in September; up 6lb but has the potential to rate higher.
11 (11) (6/1 -20%) Dream Pirate	6 6/1(-20%)	(11) Dream Pirate 6/1, Latest win at Bath in October. Off 5 months before posting an encouraging seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 9/2) 14 days ago. Blinkers back on and merits serious consideration. 1m on soft ground is ideal and could strip fitter for Kempton two weeks ago.
12 (12) (11/1 -57%) Ring Of Light	11 11/1(-57%)	(12) Ring Of Light 11/1, 11/2, landed 14-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) when last seen, getting first run. Off 17 months so needs to hit the ground running. Has a long absence to overcome and needs to prove he can do it on turf.
9 (9) (11/1 -22%) Optiva Star	11 11/1(-22%)	(9) Optiva Star 11/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. 16/1, last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f), hampered. Off 161 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. All three wins and best form has been at Brighton; looks best watched back from a break.
1 (1) (16/1 -14%) Arcadian Nights	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Arcadian Nights 16/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. 25/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 17 days ago. In the mix. High in the weights and has done the majority of his winning on the AW.
3 (3) (18/1 -29%) Good Too	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Good Too 18/1, Back on song when third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 12/1) 14 days ago, not enjoying the clearest of runs. In the picture back down in trip. Useful 2yo in France and could be on the way back after good latest effort.
10 (10) (20/1 -344%) Mapogo	20 20/1(-344%)	(10) Mapogo 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Excellent second of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 40/1) 11 days ago, running on. Makes turf debut. Shortlisted. Second on handicap debut (AW) and a chance if transferring that improvement to turf.
8 (8) (40/1 -186%) Secret Strength	40 40/1(-186%)	(8) Secret Strength 40/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm, 7/1). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Jim Boyle. Blinkers on 1st time. Strike-rate of 3-36; returns from a break on ground that might be too slow.
7 (7) (50/1 -150%) Liangel Hope	50 50/1(-150%)	(7) Liangel Hope 50/1, One win from 3 runs last year. 11/2, ninth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Others more persuasive. Five-time winner but wants the ground good or quicker and seems best at 7f.

16:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PERSEVERANTS posted his best effort of the year when a close-up second at Doncaster last time out. A 2lb rise in the handicap looks far from insurmountable and compensation may await for Scott Dixon's inmate. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Mudskipper, who was last seen gaining a breakthrough victory at Salisbury in September, while recent runner-up Mapogo isn't easily dismissed either.

DREAM PIRATE shaped well after a lay-off when seventh at Kempton a fortnight ago and can now capitalise on a lenient mark with his usual headgear refitted. Perseverants is feared most on the back of a good Doncaster second, with in-form pair Mapogo and Arcadian Nights also considered.

If ready for business after his break then it wouldn't be a surprise should MUDSKIPPER be too good for these.

17:00 Kelso Hunter Chase (Class 4) 23f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (8/11 +42%) Soldier Of Rock	0.727273 8/11(+42%)	(4) Soldier Of Rock 8/11, Half-brother to a point winner and opened his account between the flags at the fourth attempt last month. Very much one to consider on this Rules debut on the back of that wide-margin success. Won easily by 18l on last month's British point debut at Hutton Rudby.
8 (8) (11/2 -22%) Bentley Road	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(8) Bentley Road 11/2, Fetched €26,000 as a 3-y-o and he's closely related to useful hurdler/chaser On The Bridge and fairly useful hurdler Fairytale Theatre. Placed last 2 starts between the flags and needs considering on Rules debut with a very capable amateur aboard. Low-mileage 5yo who was placed in two maiden points last month; rules debut today.
9 (9) (9/1 -227%) Red Opium	9 9/1(-227%)	(9) Red Opium 9/1, Successful 3 times from 19 appearances in points and placed all 4 completed starts in that sphere since the turn of the year. Pulled up both runs in hunter chases last spring, which tempers enthusiasm somewhat, but she has to enter calculations in what looks a very winnable race. Largely in good form in points this year and can make her presence felt here.
5 (5) (9/1 -157%) Toucan Sam	9 9/1(-157%)	(5) Toucan Sam 9/1, Not without promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles for this yard back in summer 2022. Pulled up both starts in handicap chases this season following a 14-month layoff but he was runner-up in a point 23 days ago and is well worth a second look here. In poor form over hurdles this winter but was second in a recent maiden point.
7 (7) (10/1 +38%) Whatsgoingon	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Whatsgoingon 10/1, Offered little in Catterick bumper and a novice hurdle here at the end of 2021. Not seen out under Rules since and while he has made the frame on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts in points, one or two of these are more appealing. In the frame in three maiden points since returning from a break in December; new headgear.
6 (6) (28/1 +15%) Watch Law	28 28/1(+15%)	(6) Watch Law 28/1, Closely related to a point winner and hit the target twice between the flags in the early part of last year. However, he struggled in that sphere when returning from a 10-month absence 23 days ago and latest effort under Rules (in a maiden hurdle) resulted in a heavy defeat. Dual point winner in early 2023; may have needed last month's reappearance run.
3 (3) (33/1 -136%) Any Job Will Do	33 33/1(-136%)	(3) Any Job Will Do 33/1, Poor maiden hurdler who has failed to complete on 4 of his 5 starts in this sphere (well beaten on the occasion that he did complete here last April). Successful in a point last month but opposable back under Rules all the same. Caused 12-1 surprise in a maiden point last month; now needs to build on that performance.
1 (1) (33/1 +18%) Alone No More	33 33/1(+18%)	(1) Alone No More 33/1, Rules form is pretty uninspiring and he failed to threaten in a couple of runs between the flags during the winter. Best to look elsewhere. Safely held in both points this year and evidently not the force of old.
2 (2) (33/1 +18%) Amma Lord	33 33/1(+18%)	(2) Amma Lord 33/1, Placed once in a handicap hurdle for Rebecca Menzies back in 2021 and winner of a point for this yard last spring. Hasn't shown much in 2 starts between the flags so far this year, though, and he's hard to warm on this hunter chase debut. Point winner in March 2023 but has struggled on both outings this year.
10 (10) (40/1 -150%) She Is The Enemy	40 40/1(-150%)	(10) She Is The Enemy 40/1, Has made the frame on 2 of her 3 starts in points but she was 15 lengths adrift of Toucan Sam last time. Others preferred. Ran well for a long way in three maiden points this year; needs to last longer today.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Kelso Hunter Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

SOLDIER OF ROCK is very much the one to beat in here judged on this year's point-to-point form. He finished a head second in that sphere in February before going one better last month, and this looks a really good opening for the six-year-old now he's under Rules. Red Opium heads the list of dangers from recent point runner-up Toucan Sam.

Not an easy race to weigh up, with most of the form on offer from the pointing field. SOLDIER OF ROCK was a facile winner of his latest start between the flags and is more appealing than most. Toucan Sam is the one with the best form under Rules and, having finished a clear second in a point last time, he is feared most ahead of Bentley Road and Red Opium.

The most obvious answer is SOLDIER OF ROCK, who delivered on promise shown in Ireland when winning easily on his British point debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 (7) (5/2 +25%) Phoenix Passion	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(7) Phoenix Passion 5/2, Good third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 12/1) 44 days ago, well positioned. Not taken lightly. Two attempts at 1m have resulted in his best performances; still open to further progress.
1 (1) (11/4 +0%) Savvy Warrior	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(1) Savvy Warrior 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden, fair form at 2 yrs. Off 6 months/gelded. On a tempting mark on return (last summer's Ffos Las third reads well). Gelding operation may have positive effect and he's still a possible improver in handicaps.
6 (6) (5/1 +0%) Amancio	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Amancio 5/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap (11/4) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 11 days ago. One to consider. Consistent maiden; comparatively exposed but is a solid contender on form.
2 (2) (9/1 +0%) Magna Vega	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Magna Vega 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 44 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Chance of a turnaround partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.
5 (5) (10/1 -25%) Double Red	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Double Red 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden, little to write home about in 3 efforts at 2. Off 164 days. Makes handicap debut. Could improve this year. Looks the type to do better in handicaps this year; market support should be heeded.
3 (3) (11/1 +21%) Dan Dee Prince	11 11/1(+21%)	(3) Dan Dee Prince 11/1, Fair gelding. Winner at Leicester (7f) in August prior to a good second from 6 lb higher mark at Newcastle (7f) later that month. 11/1, first run since leaving Tom Dascombe when sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. More needed. The most exposed contender and chance partly depends on how well he takes to blinkers.
8 (8) (11/1 -57%) He's Got Game	11 11/1(-57%)	(8) He's Got Game 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 7 months. Hood on 1st time. Appeals as the type to do better in handicaps this term now gelded. Open to improvement now handicapping over new trip and wearing first-time hood.
9 (9) (50/1 -213%) Nina Rapida	50 50/1(-213%)	(9) Nina Rapida 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara. Makes handicap debut. Suspect she's capable of better. May show progress now running in a handicap off bottom weight; new stable.

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

PHOENIX PASSION hit the frame on his return to action after being gelded in November and he goes off an unchanged mark. Ed Walker's three-year-old makes his return to turf and he could be the one to beat. Jolty Jem lost a shoe when fourth at Wolverhampton and may do better off a 1lb lower rating, while Dan Dee Prince is of interest in first-time blinkers.

SAVVY WARRIOR's third at Ffos Las last summer reads well (4 of his 8 opponents are now rated in the 90s) and he could be primed to make a successful return having been gelded. Amancio and Phoenix Passion, who have AW runs under their belts, are dangers.

The vote goes to PHOENIX PASSION (nap), who has strong claims on his 1m form and remains unexposed. He's Got Game is second choice.

Major player with improvement to come. Fourth at Wolverhampton last month; suggested this longer trip should suit; respected.
7 (7) (10/3 -33%) Maritime Lady	3.333333 10/3(-33%)	(7) Maritime Lady 10/3, Ran to a similar level as on her previous start when second of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 23 days ago, despite making her effort out wide. Enters calculations. Ability in all three starts; doesn't set a daunting standard, but shouldn't be far away.
6 (6) (10/3 +5%) Kingmont	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(6) Kingmont 10/3, Showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/1) on debut in November, late headway. Open to progress as she goes up in trip on her return. Fifth over 7f on Chelmsford debut last November; bred to stay on dam's side; watch market.
5 (5) (8/1 -45%) City Saint	8 8/1(-45%)	(5) City Saint 8/1, With hood applied (now left off), in need of the experience when seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (12f, 20/1) on debut 40 days ago, never nearer. Entitled to do better with that first outing behind her. Some ability when seventh on her debut here last month, but drop in trip may not be ideal.
3 (3) (16/1 -60%) Haydarieh	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Haydarieh 16/1, Raven's Pass filly. Sister to useful UAE 6f/7f winner Elusive Terry. Dam unraced from a good US family. Watch for market clues. Only newcomer in the field and the market should indicate what is expected.
1 (1) (22/1 -10%) Rose Donnelly	22 22/1(-10%)	(1) Rose Donnelly 22/1, Failed to improve on debut form when sixth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 33/1) 35 days ago, though never nearer having been short of room entering straight. Will be of more appeal in handicaps. Hinted at ability in two starts at Wolverhampton, but may be one for handicaps after this.
2 (2) (200/1 -900%) Royal Toast	200 200/1(-900%)	(2) Royal Toast 200/1, Made the frame both starts on Flat for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. However, has struggled in 4 outings over hurdles since joining current yard, pulled up in juvenile event at Stratford (18.7f, heavy, 200/1) 35 days ago. Four outings over hurdles for this yard have been blowouts; hard to fancy.

17:30 Kempton Maiden (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Maritime Lady has stepped forward with each start to date and has to be a leading contender based on her second at Wolverhampton last month. That said, it wouldn't be a major surprise if the fourth from that contest, REYAADAH STAR, proved capable of reversing that form. Charlie Johnston's filly was essentially making her debut on that occasion, having unseated at Southwell on her official first racecourse appearance when leaving the stalls, and the extra distance is sure to suit. Newcomer Haydarieh completes the shortlist.

REYAADAH STAR showed promise on what was effectively her debut when fourth at Wolverhampton last month, staying on having still had plenty to do under 2f out, and she can take a step forward to open her account. She is taken to reverse the placings with Maritime Lady from when the pair met 23 days ago, with Kingmont completing the shortlist.

Maritime Lady sets the standard, but she wouldn't be sure to confirm latest Wolverhampton running with REYAADAH STAR.

Half-brother to useful staying hurdler/smart 2¼m chase winner Perceval Legallois and bumper winner/fair chaser Wavelength. One of 2 from the stable. The betting should provide more clues. Half-brother to useful jumper Perceval Legallois; stablemate of Lance Les Des.

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

Olly Murphy enjoyed a winner in this sphere at Market Rasen recently and newcomers representing this yard are always respected. Kapal Layar is therefore considered, along with Irish point-to-point winner The Final Word. The vote is for RED NED, though, who has experience on his side and would have a great chance if coming back to the form of his Southwell second in November.

Those with experience don't set the bar that high so this may go to a newcomer, with KAPAL LAYAR the suggestion for a stable with a very healthy 22% strike-rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Inoue is another debutant from a yard which does well in bumpers, while Red Cadillac may prove best of those who have already seen the racecourse.

Top of the list is KAPAL LAYAR, who has an attractive pedigree and represents a stable that does very well in bumpers.

Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (7f, 16/1) 87 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Kinirons. Not taken lightly off tempting mark. Irish win came off this mark; possibilities on debut for new stable.
3 (3) (12/1 -200%) Simpson's Paradox	12 12/1(-200%)	(3) Simpson's Paradox 12/1, 10/3 and blinkered for 1st time, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner maiden at Killarney (8.1f, heavy) final start for Mrs J. Harrington in September. Makes handicap debut. Belatedly off the mark on final Irish start; handicap/stable debut.
9 (9) (18/1 -50%) Kotari	18 18/1(-50%)	(9) Kotari 18/1, 5/2, fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 49 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Fair on the Flat and not dismissed. This is only his second Flat attempt for current yard; may improve.
13 (13) (22/1 -57%) Fascinating Lips	22 22/1(-57%)	(13) Fascinating Lips 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 5 in handicap (7/2) at Haydock (10.2f, soft) 6 months ago. Down another 2 lb and will be a danger to all if he puts his best foot forward on return. Not solid on 2023 form but starts this campaign on a handy mark.
14 (14) (22/1 -57%) Rival	22 22/1(-57%)	(14) Rival 22/1, Fair handicapper. Returned last season in good form. Off 175 days. One to note. Doesn't appear to be crying out for this step back up in trip.
5 (5) (28/1 -300%) Mildyjama	28 28/1(-300%)	(5) Mildyjama 28/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year. Fifth of 6 in handicap (13/8) at Kempton (12f) when last seen. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett. Disappointing on final run for Ralph Beckett; debut for new yard.
11 (11) (33/1 -65%) Vecchio	33 33/1(-65%)	(11) Vecchio 33/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 100/1) 41 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Plenty to find on form. Maiden; has stamina to prove over this new trip.
10 (10) (80/1 -100%) Looksee	80 80/1(-100%)	(10) Looksee 80/1, Unplaced both starts in bumpers. One standout effort in handful of starts in this sphere to date, easy to back and ultimately well held when ninth of 11 on handicap debut at Kempton (11f) when last seen 6 months ago. Maiden; far from solid on form.
8 (8) (100/1 -203%) Cresta Cat	100 100/1(-203%)	(8) Cresta Cat 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when eleventh of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 51 days ago. Something to prove back on turf; clear best efforts on AW.

17:50 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Hakuna Babe was victorious by just under a length over C&D in October and she is likely to be on the premises off a 2lb higher mark on her first start for the Ed Walker stable. However, preference is for previous C&D winner FAST STEPS, who returned from a 235-day break to finish fifth at Kempton earlier in the month, which could have put him spot on for this assignment off a 1lb lower rating. Tarbaan and Mildyjama are others to watch out for.

HAKUNA BABE could have more to offer in 2024 for her new yard and is taken to make a successful return. Celebrating Ethel, also starting out for new connections, and Rival are a couple of others to note in a competitive heat.

Preference is for HAKUNA BABE, who scored in a higher grade here last time out. Fast Steps is second choice.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (13/8 +60%) Lakota Spirit	1.625 13/8(+60%)	(4) Lakota Spirit 13/8, Once-raced filly. 18/1, fifth of 14 in minor event at Leicester (7f, soft) on debut, not knocked about. Off 7 months. Should improve. Form of debut fifth at Leicester last autumn worked out well; worth a market check.
6 (6) (5/2 -53%) Sunfall	2.5 5/2(-53%)	(6) Sunfall 5/2, Promising individual. 5/1, fourth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut, nearest finish. Off 153 days. Likely to improve. Fourth on her Newcastle debut last November, but form hasn't worked out; watch market.
3 (3) (7/2 -5%) Lady Flora	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(3) Lady Flora 7/2, Once-raced filly. 13/2, third of 9 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut. Off 173 days. Open to improvement. Promising third on last October's Newmarket debut (form worked out well); respected.
10 (10) (8/1 -167%) Nancy Rose	8 8/1(-167%)	(10) Nancy Rose 8/1, Promising sort. 25/1 and hooded, second of 8 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut, running on. Off 9 months. May well do better. Close second on her Newbury debut last July; extra furlong should suit; watch market.
8 (8) (10/1 +38%) Fenisa	10 10/1(+38%)	(8) Fenisa 10/1, 35,000 gns yearling, Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m Big City and 1¼m winner Act Naturally. Dam, 8.6f-11.6f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Ave. Can't be ruled out. Stable's record with 3yo newcomers suggests she may be better for the run.
1 (1) (22/1 -120%) Eternal Spring	22 22/1(-120%)	(1) Eternal Spring 22/1, 45,000 gns yearling, 1,000 gns 2-y-o, Territories filly. Dam maiden out of winning sister to British/Irish Derby winner Australia, and herself daughter of British/Irish Oaks winner Attraction. Considered newcomer. Stable does well with 3yo newcomers, but a cheap 2yo and the outside stall not ideal.
5 (5) (28/1 -100%) Princess Jastar	28 28/1(-100%)	(5) Princess Jastar 28/1, 45,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel filly. Closely related to 9.5f-1½m winner Optik and half-sister to useful winner up to 11f Strait of Hormuz and 2-y-o 7f winner Siamsa. Noteworthy newcomer. Stable has a fine record with 3yo newcomers so worth a market check.
2 (2) (50/1 -52%) Idyllic	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Idyllic 50/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f, 10/1) on debut. Off 153 days. Beaten a long way on her Newcastle debut last November; major improvement required.
11 (11) (125/1 -279%) Platinum Perfect	125 125/1(-279%)	(11) Platinum Perfect 125/1, Once-raced filly. 22/1, last of 6 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, heavy) on debut. Off 8 months. Tailed-off last of six on her Lingfield turf debut last August; leap of faith is required.
9 (9) (200/1 -506%) Dusk Dame	200 200/1(-506%)	(9) Dusk Dame 200/1, Once-raced filly. 28/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut. Off 151 days. Well-beaten eighth on her Chelmsford debut last November; has undergone wind surgery since.
7 (7) (250/1 -279%) Wedgewood Sapphire	250 250/1(-279%)	(7) Wedgewood Sapphire 250/1, 22/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Dieppe (9f, good). Off 7 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving P. De Chevigny. Twice well beaten on turf in France last year; hard to recommend on stable debut.

18:00 Kempton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

LADY FLORA comes from a family connections know very well, with her half-brothers Elm Park and Brorocco the main examples, and she arrives here following a decent beginning to her career when placed in a Newmarket novice last October. Entitled to improve from that experience, Andrew Balding's filly is taken to come out on top. Nancy Rose defied greenness to finish second at Newbury in July and she commands plenty of respect, while others to note include Lakota Spirit and Sunfall.

NANCY ROSE shaped well when a debut second at Newbury and can go one better on her seasonal return at the chief expense of William Haggas' debut fourth Sunfall. Lady Flora is another to consider with better days ahead of her too.

This can go to the nicely bred LADY FLORA, whose debut third at Newmarket last November has worked out well.

18:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (11/4 -38%) Ciara Pearl	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(1) Ciara Pearl 11/4, After 6 months off, continued her progress when making a successful handicap debut in 10-runner event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 5/2) a week ago. Looks capable of following up under a penalty. Penalised for her successful handicap debut a week ago; back in trip but open to progress.
2 (2) (11/4 +39%) Wadacre Grace	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(2) Wadacre Grace 11/4, Four wins from 22 runs last year, including at this C&D, and added to her tally at Chelmsford City in February. Ran up to her best when second of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 14/1) 6 days ago. Respected. Tough and consistent mare who ran well last time; record over C&D reads 3114; major player.
4 (4) (7/2 +42%) Nothing To Fear	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(4) Nothing To Fear 7/2, Ran to a fair level when making the frame twice last year, fourth of 12 in minor event (9/2) at this C&D in November. Can give another good account as she makes her seasonal/handicap debut. In the frame in two AW novices last autumn; worth monitoring in market on handicap debut.
7 (7) (13/2 -8%) Moonlight Express	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(7) Moonlight Express 13/2, Shaped better than result when sixth of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 11 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Interesting contender as she makes her first start in a handicap. Has hinted at ability in her three starts; may take a step forward now handicapping.
3 (3) (8/1 -220%) Alika Breeze	8 8/1(-220%)	(3) Alika Breeze 8/1, Improved with each of her 3 starts last year, third of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 33/1) in October. Bred to be suited by this longer trip, so she's one to note as she goes handicapping for her in-form yard. Makes her handicap debut after six months off; worth a market check with stable going well.
5 (5) (9/1 +25%) Unreal Connection	9 9/1(+25%)	(5) Unreal Connection 9/1, Off the mark at Epsom last summer but finished well held on her final start of the campaign, eighth of 11 in minor event at Goodwood (7f, soft, 66/1) in September. Needs to get back on the up making her all-weather bow. Returns from 201 days off, but is a half-sister to an AW winner out of an AW winner.
6 (6) (33/1 -408%) Miss Idunn	33 33/1(-408%)	(6) Miss Idunn 33/1, Failed to repeat her previous effort when last of 7 in maiden at Sandown (8f, good, 25/1) when last seen in September. However, she appeals as the type that could do better in handicaps this year. Makes her handicap/AW debut after seven months off; market should be informative.

18:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CIARA PEARL clearly needed some time to develop with her debut coming in the July of her three-year-old career. However, she showed plenty of promise in three starts in maiden/novice company, winning at Lingfield in October, and returned to the same venue to make a successful handicap debut last Monday. The 5lb penalty and drop back to a mile are unlikely to stop her from progressing. Wadacre Grace has been running consistently well of late and is expected to be in the mix along with Moonlight Express.

CIARA PEARL picked up where she left off when making a winning seasonal/handicap debut at Lingfield 7 days ago and, with the potential of more still to offer, a penalty might not be enough to prevent her scoring again. Moonlight Express remains capable of better now handicapping and is next on the list, ahead of Wadacre Grace.

The tough and consistent WADACRE GRACE (nap) may know a bit too much for her rivals at a track she seems to like (2-4).

Form	Odds	Runs
3 (3) (2/1 +60%) Revolutionise	2 2/1(+60%)	(3) Revolutionise 2/1, C&D winner in January but never a factor when eighth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 18/1) 2 days ago. This easier but needs to quickly bounce back. Has only been successful in two of his last 39 starts and this may not be run to suit.
1 (1) (5/2 +29%) Oliver Show	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(1) Oliver Show 5/2, Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in February. 3/1, ran too badly to be true when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) a couple of months ago, finding nothing. Danger to all if back on his game. Poor at Newcastle last time having won well there the time before; could bounce back.
2 (2) (5/1 -43%) Hat Toss	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Hat Toss 5/1, Ran respectably back on all-weather when seventh of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 13/2) 7 months ago. First run for yard after leaving David Loughnane. Shortlist material. Something to prove making his stable debut after seven months off; market helpful.
4 (4) (11/2 -175%) Aurora Dawn	5.5 11/2(-175%)	(4) Aurora Dawn 11/2, 5/2, resumed progress on the back of a longer break to double her tally in 10-runner handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 9 months ago, overcoming positional bias to lead final 100 yds. 5 lb higher on return and there's plenty to like provided she's ready to roll. Took off when switched to turf last year, but may have improved generally; watch market.
6 (6) (10/1 -25%) Sayifyouwill	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Sayifyouwill 10/1, 4-time C&D winner. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 6 months ago. Has gone well fresh before so she's no forlorn hope. 4-12 over C&D and 1lb below last winning mark; off 194 days but is proven fresh.
5 (5) (11/1 -120%) Soar Above	11 11/1(-120%)	(5) Soar Above 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, out of depth when last of 6 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Certainly capable and market support should be noted. All eight AW wins have come here; has twice finished runner-up over C&D since December.

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SOAR ABOVE filled the runner-up berth over track and trip in January before finding a class 2 event too hot next time, but he will appreciate the drop in grade. John Butler's nine-year-old looks well placed to record his fourth C&D victory, with his main threat possibly Aurora Dawn. The daughter of Awtaad makes her return to action off a 5lb higher rating than her triumph at Newbury last June and she has to be considered, while Hat Toss warrants a market check too.

A trappy contest with marginal preference for AURORA DAWN, who doubled her career tally with a comfortable success at Newbury when last seen 9 months ago and Ed Walker's filly looks just the type to make into an even better 4-y-o. Stable-switcher Hat Toss can chase her home, with Oliver Show next best provided he can leave a lacklustre effort well behind.

The unexposed OLIVER SHOW is given a chance to show that his latest Newcastle effort was a blip. He had looked progressive before that.

In the mix. Caught the eye when fourth on stable debut at Lingfield ten days ago; interesting down 1lb.
6 (6) (14/1 -75%) Magic Fluke	14 14/1(-75%)	(6) Magic Fluke 14/1, Winner at Newcastle in November. Only fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 10/3) 32 days ago so more is needed. May appreciate the return to this C&D, over which he finished runner-up in January.
9 (9) (22/1 -57%) One Cool Dreamer	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) One Cool Dreamer 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in maiden (80/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW), needing stiffer test. Off 166 days. Makes handicap debut. Possibilities. Makes his handicap debut after 166 days off having been gelded; watch market.

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Old Chums remains in cracking form after hitting the crossbar over 6f at Chelmsford last time and he is likely to be competitive off the same mark, but WONDER SMILE makes more appeal. Hugo Palmer's three-year-old produced two solid efforts in novice company at Chelmsford, finishing second and third, last year and he makes his handicap bow off a workable mark of 70 with Tom Marquand booked. A first-time hood could eke out more from Lieutenant Rascal and he completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but LIEUTENANT RASCAL features on a good mark so is taken to get off the mark now stepped up in trip on his polytrack debut. Old Chums is next on the list on the back of his recent Chelmsford City second with handicap debutant Heathcliff also in the mix.

Preference is for HELLO COTAI who caught the eye when fourth of seven on his stable debut at Lingfield ten days ago.

Is in good hands and he's open to improvement now handicapping. Progressive in three starts here, winning well last time; more improvement possible.
2 (2) (5/2 +0%) Jubilee Walk	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Jubilee Walk 5/2, Showed much improved form to get off the mark at the third attempt in a Salisbury novice (6f, good) 8 months ago, making all and taking the runner-up off his line but not enough to amend the result. Heads into handicap company and could be one to follow (has had a wind op). Progressive on turf last year, winning final start; half-brother to a couple of AW winners.
4 (4) (9/2 -13%) Ziggy's Dream	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Ziggy's Dream 9/2, Inns Of Court filly who tasted success 3 times as a juvenile and again in 9-runner handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on return 2 days ago, readily.

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Marginal preference is for IMPERIAL GUARD. Andrew Balding's three-year-old has improved with each of his three runs to date, with his latest effort resulting in a smooth victory over track and trip. He relished the drop in trip that day and he could be one to watch over sprint distances going forward. Jubilee Walk has undergone wind surgery since making all to shed his maiden tag at Salisbury and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market, while Tsunami Spirit rates best of the rest.

IMPERIAL GUARD looked potentially useful in getting off the mark with something to spare on return from 6 months off over C&D last month and open to further improvement now handicapping, he gets the nod to come out on top at the expense of Tsunami Spirit, who looked potentially a decent sprint handicapper as a 2-y-o and can have a line put through his final outing.

This can go to IMPERIAL GUARD who made a successful return in a C&D novice last month and remains open to further improvement.

Can make presence felt if back on his A-game. Dual winner here and could be dangerous if enjoying an uncontested lead from his good draw.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

PROFIT AND LOSS returned from 199 days off the track to produce an encouraging effort on debut for George Baker over C&D last month. The son of Profitable remains on the same rating and could be the one to beat. Autumn Angel, who wasn't beaten far into third over 7f at Wolverhampton last time, could get into contention despite dropping in distance. Heerathetrack tackles this trip for only the second time and could also get involved.

A tight-knit handicap in which in-form AUTUMN ANGEL is taken to resume winning ways off an easing mark. Course winner Heeratthetrack heads the list of dangers with Nubough and Revolucion also weighted to have a say in a very open contest.

The vote goes to PROFIT AND LOSS who ran well to finish third on stable debut C&D last month. He may well have come on for it.
