Laganhill failed to maintain his unbeaten record when well beaten in Grade 2 company at Kelso, but this should be easier and he ought to go close. Even so, JAX JUNIOR gets the vote. The six-year-old finished a close third in the Sidney Banks before finding the Albert Bartlett too much of an ask. He now sports a first-time tongue-tie and that may help eke out more. Dr Eggman got off the mark over hurdles at Limerick and is another to note.

Lucy Wadham's JAX JUNIOR gets the verdict in the hope he can run his rivals ragged from the front.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

ALI SHUFFLE won a shade cosily on her Redcar debut earlier in the month and she may prove good enough to give 5lb or more to her rivals to come home in front. Kevin Ryan had a juvenile winner at Musselburgh on Sunday and is represented by Kilfrush Desert, who commands plenty of respect, while others likely to make an impact are Museum Piece and Sand Lily.

Ali Shuffle is an obvious one, along with newcomers Dakota Dawn, Kilfrush Desert, SAND LILY and Sioux Perfect.

With the Charlie Appleby horses ticking along nicely, it would be folly to ignore the chances of Al Misbar, who is still a maiden after four starts but sports first-time cheekpieces on his second start since being gelded. Race-fitness may be key, though, and that points to the Charlie Hills-trained DOUBLE RUSH, a four-length maiden winner at Wolverhampton after being backed into odds-on favouritism. He can hopefully go on from there, with The Dragon King and Belgrave a couple of others for the shortlist.

Preference is for DOUBLE RUSH (nap), who looks a useful sprinter in the making. Defence Minister ties in with the seleection.

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

NANCY J is a filly with plenty of potential. She won her maiden on debut on fast ground over C&D last August and wasn't beaten far into fifth in Listed class at Leopardstown the following month. She didn't have the clearest route when occupying the same place in the Goffs 500 at the Curragh, but holds some notable entries. Justify filly Ethical Code won on debut at Dundalk in October and is one to look forward to on turf, while Mathan is race fit after a ready success in a Curragh maiden at the end of last month which brings him into the equation. Queens Fury has plenty of form in the book behind classy types and is nicely weighted with Sam Coen's claim.

Her Listed run is the best form on offer and the well entered up NANCY J is taken to make a winning return

It was hard to not be impressed by TYPHOON FLYER's romp at Haydock last month and a 6lb rise for that triumph may prove to be lenient. The seven-year-old should have no issues with this extra distance and can complete a double. Ballytechno made the frame at Kelso on his latest outing and should go well off just a 1lb higher mark. Last year's winner Doyen Quest and Spirits Bay are others to keep an eye on.

After a good run in the Imperial Cup and with possible improvement lurking over this longer trip, SPIRITS BAY is the call.

Four-year-olds have a good record in this race and it will be interesting to see where EQUITY LAW sits in the market ahead of his first start for Tim Easterby, with his latest win at Sandown in April last year in a better race, and off a 5lb higher mark. King Of Tonga has won on his return before and was last seen scoring at Chester in July, but he may have to settle for a place on this occasion, while Elegant Erin loves it here with three wins from five starts.

An open race in which TRILBY (nap) gets the vote following an eyecatching reappearance when meeting traffic at Doncaster.

LTO Selection:

A large field of unraced three-year-olds and a race that often throws up a decent sort or two. Invariably won by a top Newmarket stable, the Gosdens have won two of the last four runnings and have chances again this year with ALTAREQ and Caughtredhanded, the first-named a Frankel colt who looks the part on pedigree and may be the one to beat. Spy Kingdom is another who looks interesting as a son of Kitten's Joy and with Oisin Murphy in the saddle, as do Sea The Stars colt Muhaajim and perhaps Hard Endeavor for Jane Chapple-Hyam.

Judged on breeding and other factors, MUHAAJIM scores particularly highly. Second choice is Spy Kingdom.

NO SUCH THING caught a tartar in Leopardstown, but banked another placed finish in second and may get his turn. He has now been placed in three of his four races and brings a level of consistency to the contest. Trip and ground are fine, and he gets first-time blinkers. Aston Value has a tricky draw, but he took third in a couple of maidens at Cork and the Curragh last season, and the form has been franked. Dahoma looks the pick of Joseph O'Brien's five runners on jockey bookings and there should be more to come after a fifth place in Bellewstown. Hopes Are High, who finished third on his sole start at Dundalk, shouldn't be ruled out on this switch to turf.

Blitzed by a smart sort at Leopardstown last month, NO SUCH THING can go one better here now dropped back in trip with blinkers fitted

Willie Mullins has a couple of strong chances in this contest, with slight preference for CLASSIC GETAWAY after his victory in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park. The nine-year-old has progressed with each run this season and can continue on his upward trajectory. His stable companion O'Moore Park outran odds of 66/1 to make the frame behind Caldwell Potter over C&D at the Festival and looks the main threat. Bhaloo completes the shortlist.

Another chance is given to MOON D'ORANGE, who did very well to overcome a last-fence jumping error and win over C&D two rus ago.

Hiya Maite is entitled to go close and will look to put his race fitness to good use after a neck second at Southwell last month. He still needs a career best off this mark, and preference is for the younger ANGEL SHARED, whose wins on turf have come on a variety of surfaces. She could step forward this season, with Albegone and Havana Rum also of interest from the bottom of the handicap.

No strong fancy in this one but DURAN won three times last year and still looks like having more to give, preferred to Hiya Maite.

Run To Freedom is one to consider having competed at the top level in 2023 but with just the one start since, when well beaten in this race last year, he may be best watched. Royal Zabeel is tempting with three wins from his last four starts on the all-weather, but ROMANTIC STYLE looks the one to beat. After failing to see out the mile in the Cape Verdi at Meydan, she made amends with an easy victory there over this trip and a repeat of that performance might be all she needs.

French challenger SAJIR looks open to further progress and is taken to come out on top in an interesting clash with Romantic Style.

DE NOVO could step forward from a debut fourth at Dundalk in November. The Lope De Vega filly kept on over 7f that day and a step up in trip on turf can see her go well for Joseph O'Brien and Dylan Browne McMonagle. Murkala and Joyful Princess are both rated 82 with the former holding a fitness advantage courtesy of a third place in a Curragh maiden last month. Dermot Weld takes the wraps off Ghaiyyath filly Harana, while Donnacha O'Brien introduces Churchill filly True Friend and both should be given a market check. Kodi's Angel and De Novo's stablemate, Sissi, will have their supporters.

Runner-up in two good-ground maidens in the autumn, JOYFUL PRINCESS holds solid claims and gets the vote in a useful-looking maiden

YES DAY has been a revelation since going beyond 3m over fences and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards following a comfortable success at Exeter off 4lb lower. Ajp Kingdom could not have done it any easier over 3m2f at Uttoxeter in November and he is a key player, as is Regarde, who improved for wind surgery when scoring at Haydock. Chepstow winner Ask Brewster and chasing debutant Mahland also warrant consideration.

In-form 7yo YES DAY could still have significant untapped potential over marathon trips and is taken to complete a hat-trick.

AL KHAWSSAA ended her three-year-old campaign with a cosy triumph at Southwell and she looks one to keep the right side of on her return to action. Roger Varian has his string in fine fettle and the Night Of Thunder filly looks capable of following up. The biggest threat may emerge from Adoon Valley, who is a live threat judged on her debut second at Newmarket. Arkinthestars and Wilhelmina are also worth a second look.

Most tempting is WILHELMINA, who had excuses after a pleasing debut last year and looks like improving now.

Charlie Appleby has taken two of the last four renewals of this contest and has a pair of contenders this time around, with William Buick opting for AOMORI CITY instead of the unbeaten Opera Ballo. The son of Oasis Dream produced the best effort of his career when signing off his campaign with third in the Juvenile Turf at Del Mar in November. Provided he has wintered well, it would be no surprise to see him score. Wimbledon Hawkeye took the Royal Lodge over C&D last year and is another to consider.

Several runners hold strong claims in an open-looking Craven. The percentage call goes to WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE, ahead of Opera Ballo.

CHARANDA could do some damage in this claimer. It is a long way from a Curragh Group 3 that she raced in last August to this grade and jockey Nicola Burns is proving to be good value for her 7lb claim. The 74-rated Reponse Finale has been running in decent maidens and was just pipped in second at Down Royal last September, so she is respected. Weegeebear can be tardy from the gates, but did win a claimer on his penultimate start in Dundalk. Connections reach for a visor on him. Live Like The Boss doesn't lack breeding and first-time cheekpieces are tried in a bid to spark improvement, while Voice Of Northeast isn't out of it.

A comfortable winner of this contest last year off 13lb lower, ZAIN NIGHTS arrives in top form once again, having scored at Newbury last month. The booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye and he can follow up at the main expense of Mr Hope Street, who was second at Newbury in December and has won over further than this before. Runner-up in the Stayers' Hurdle here just two years ago, Dashel Drasher brings plenty of class to proceedings, while Long Draw has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of December's success over C&D.

Dan Skelton's MR HOPE STREET should be fresher than a lot of these and he remains unexposed at this sort of distance.

Although thwarted in his follow-up bid at Chelmsford 20 days ago, LIGHTENING MANN lost little in defeat in finishing second. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks workable for Jack Channon's gelding and he's fancied to regain the winning thread. Sir Peter Fossick may have found the ground too soft on his third-placed defeat at Chester in September last year and he isn't taken lightly on the back of a gelding procedure. Edge Ofthe Unknown is the pick of the remainder.

The most appealing option is SIR PETER FOSSIC, a potential improver now up in trip for his return albeit he's not exactly bred to stay.

Seren Star cost 88,000 euros and is related to plenty of winners, including Group 3 scorer Circumvent, and it will be interesting if the market speaks in her favour. However, STELLENBOSCH looks the one to be on. Richard Hannon's filly has shown plenty of ability when third on both of her starts to date and she can build on that under Ryan Moore. Blazing Spirit could take a step forward from her fourth at Southwell and also needs to be considered.

Solid-looking STELLENBOSCH gets the vote. Elizabeth Bay and Blazing Spirit are the chief dangers on form.

PINK OXALIS has shown useful form on the all-weather this winter and is likely to appreciate today's drying turf conditions. Her Dundalk form has been consistently useful and having won comfortably in March on her second attempt over today's distance, should get involved in this competitive handicap. Neo Smart is ground-versatile and is 1lb ahead of the handicapper under her fixed penalty for winning at the Curragh four days ago, although both her wins have come over seven furlongs. Mallavelly won well on her debut for new connections at Dundalk recently and is capable of another decent showing.

It may pay to keep following recent Dundalk maiden winner MALLAVELLY back in handicap company

Fergal O'Brien has farmed this race, winning the last three renewals, with Manothepeople successful last season and back for more off 3lb higher. He hasn't quite been at his best this year, but could still go close as the only C&D winner in the field. Does He Know has won four times here and warrants plenty of respect, but MORODER might be the one. A cosy winner of the Grimthorpe at Doncaster on just his third start of the campaign, he may confirm the form with the third-placed Hymac, even on these less favourable terms, and go one better than 12 months ago.

After running well for a long way in last month's C&D Kim Muir, MANOTHEPEOPLE (nap) can land this prize for the second consecutive year

FREDDY ROBINSON returned to form with a staying-on third over 1m2f at Doncaster last time out. The son of Adaay should relish today's extra two furlongs and compensation could be on the cards. Prince Achille ended his last campaign with a fair sixth at Newcastle and a 134-day break may freshen him up. The six-year-old is feared most reverting to turf, ahead of Marioento.

Three of these took part in the same Doncaster race last month and it's the sixth WHATACRACKER who makes the most appeal.

Having filled the frame on all four outings over hurdles this season, BUCKNA might be rewarded for his consistency. The five-year-old arrives on the back of a solid third over 2m at Southwell and today's extra half mile holds no fear. The biggest threat may emerge from the returning Deep Purple, who should have learned plenty from his third-placed timber debut at Ludlow behind subsequent Grade 1-placed Wendigo. Devon Dude also has the ability to go close.

Warren Greatrex's BUCKNA should benefit from today's return to a longer distance and he gets the nod over Deep Purple.

The Andrew Balding yard has hit top form and his SPANISH VOICE can get off the mark following a highly promising third on debut at Kempton in December. He is bred to improve for the rise from a mile and may have too much for Valedictory, who arrives with similar claims after outrunning his odds to finish a close-up third at Doncaster's Leger meeting. Chess Dad and Push The Limit have 7lb penalties to carry for victories on the all-weather, which will make life much tougher.

The ones with big-race entries are VALEDICTORY (for the Gosdens), Push The Limit (Beckett) and Spanish Voice (Balding).

GALLO DELL CIELO had been running consistently well at Dundalk during the winter season and while he drops in distance on his return to turf, has winning form over today's course-and-distance. Last October's C&D success came on testing ground but having shown good ability on the all-weather, should have no issues returning to a fast turf surface. Rampage wasn't beaten far on his most recent runs and is ideally suited by this distance, although mightn't want fast ground. Course specialist Summer Snow tried 1m2f for the first time at Navan recently and would prefer a shorter trip.

Course winner GALLO DE DEL CIELO ran well on his return to action at Dundalk last month and may be able to overcome a wide draw

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

Continuance arrives in excellent form after wins at Ludlow and Fontwell and, with Freddie Keighley remaining in the saddle, he can go well in his hunt for the hat-trick. Game Colours is a model of consistency with six top-three finishes in a row, including success at Lingfield, and she deserves to pick up some prize money, but CASA NO MENTO is hard to oppose. She returns to timber after a wide-margin success over fences at Bangor and has some decent form in much better races over hurdles to call upon.

This looks very open. BIG BOY BOBBY probably faced mission impossible last time when second to a well-backed 4yo.

A gelding operation seemed to work wonders for BELTADAAY when scoring easily at Leicester last October. A 10lb rise for that success could prove manageable, despite totally different conditions on his return. The son of Adaay is narrowly preferred to the consistent Law Degree and Sovereign Class, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort over further at Musselburgh most recently. Berkshire Smudge and Seed Investor are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

There looks like being more to come from MOBY QUICK, so he's the choice in a race with no fully convincing options.

KAP BOY has faced some stiff tasks over inadequate trips during his novice campaign, but today's 2m4f distance could be the making of him. The Kapgarde gelding boasts plenty of stamina in his pedigree and he may find enough improvement to open his account in this discipline. The combination of a wind procedure and quicker ground may see Golan Loop in a better light. Warren Greatrex's inmate is feared most, ahead of hurdles debutant Scorpio Rising.

There should be some improvement to come from KAP BOY, who moves up in trip after finishing fourth in two better races than this.

A taking winner on the July Course here last summer, FIFTY NIFTY struck on debut at Yarmouth as well, which bodes well for his return to action. With conditions in his favour once more, a mark of 93 could still underestimate Tom Clover's charge, and it may be that recent Pontefract winner Fahrenheit Seven gives him the most to think about now back at 7f. Miss Information is another to consider, as is Stanage, who has been raised just 3lb for a determined success at Doncaster.

The market moves should reveal more but preference is for the reappearing 4yos FIFTY NIFTY and Ten Pounds who are lightly raced.

MOLLY HALL is perfectly suited by today's good ground and this distance and should be ready on her seasonal reappearance. The selection finished third to Not Just Any Eagle at Tipperary last August and is now 5lb worse off but is very much proven at this distance, in contrast to her rival whose best form is over slightly shorter distances. Admittedly Not Just Any Eagle has proven race-fitness and will be well suited to fast ground. Five-time winner Autocrat ran very consistently at Dundalk last winter-series but his turf form isn't as strong, and he is held by the selection on Clonmel form last September.

The locally-trained SIOUX EAGLE shaped well a couple of times last summer and should have a handicap in him off this mark

The Edward Bethell stable can do little wrong at present and CROWN'S LADY could be a shrewd recruit to the yard, having won three times last year. Going back up in trip looks like a good move for the four-year-old, and it may be that Astronomica gives her the most to think about, having ended last season with highly creditable efforts at Leicester and Newmarket. Catton Lady and Electric Avenue cannot be ruled out either.

This is tricky with doubts about the fitness of a few of them and the state of the ground. CROWN'S LADY gets a tentative vote.

Lilting Verse has been in good heart over fences of late and she warrants respect reverting to timber. However, February Ludlow scorer FELICIE DU MAQUIS looks to have more to come as a stayer and this lightly-raced 10-year-old is fancied to defy a 4lb higher mark. Gaye Legacy (second) finished three lengths behind the selection and Tom Symonds' mare must also enter the reckoning racing off 3lb better terms.

Top of the list is I AM THE MOON, who put in a good front-running shift in a competitive novices' handicap at Newbury last month.

The Dream Goes On completed a double at Plumpton earlier in the month and boasts a leading chance of continuing his brilliant form. However, the vote goes to A MOMENTS MADNESS, who produced a good effort to finish second at Fontwell last time and the assessor kindly left his mark alone for that effort. With a similar display, he might be the one to beat. Cat Tiger appears best of the remainder.

Preference is for A MOMENTS MADNESS (nap), who ran well in defeat at Fontwell after a wind operation.

El Granjero has taken the silver medal home on each of his last three starts, with two of those efforts coming in this sphere and he should remain competitive. However, NINTH LOCH looks the way to go. Harry Derham's charge justified favouritism in good style at Chepstow on his latest outing and a 4lb may underestimate that performance. Last-time-out C&D scorer Letterston Lady isn't out of it either.

El Granjero looks the most solid to run well but has found one too good for him lately. EATON ANNE might be the one on soft ground.

A major improver from first to second start for new connections when scoring comfortably over C&D last time out, AIRTOTHETHRONE should have plenty more to come, despite a 7lb penalty. Record High scored over further at Fontwell last time out and he can follow him home, along with Bampton Star, who regained the winning thread with a determined display at Exeter last month. Others to note include Another Lord, River Run Free and Shot Boii.

The win may go to RIVER RUN FREE, who looked to have further improvement in him prior to his underpowered hat-trick bid in February.

JUST AIDAN continues to go from strength to strength, and a further 6lb rise for his most recent success at Wincanton may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from landing the hat-trick. Placed on each of his last two outings at Chepstow, Victor Haze looks to be a main danger, along with Rodney, who was a revelation on his first start for new connections when scoring over further at Taunton in February.

There is a good chance that last-time-out winners JUST AIDAN and Rodney have further improvement in them and they are preferred.

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.
