13:40 Ffos Las Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, the horse that seems most likely to do well is the one named 1.88/1 (9) POLYPHONIC. It has won at Fontwell before and ran well in a Class 4 handicap in its latest start. The summary suggests that it should be in contention again in its upcoming race.

I Got Stung is an interesting contender making his hurdles debut for the Kim Bailey yard, but preference goes to NORN IRON. The son of Soldier Of Fortune is likely to take a step forward from his first start over hurdles when not beaten far at Chepstow behind a subsequent winner and he could go close. Polyphonic looks best of the remainder, as he finishing a close-up second at Fontwell latest and sets the standard with that effort.

ILOT DE L'ISLE made a successful hurdling debut at Strasbourg in November and is open to improvement for his new stable, so he's fancied to defy a penalty. Polyphonic ran well on his handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell last month and has to be feared back in novice company, with Norn Iron another to consider having shown some promise in a Chepstow bumper.

Richard Bandey has enjoyed success with his hurdlers (10-43; 23%) this season, so the French recruit ILOT DE L'ISLE is the suggestion.

13:50 Epsom Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

4.5/1 (3) LIHOU looks like a strong contender based on the summary, with recent good form on both AW and turf and a fighting chance off the same mark. 2.5/1 (1) DIG TWO is also a respectable option, with a good start for a new yard and same mark down in grade. 12/1 (9) PABLO DEL PUEBLO may struggle in this tougher field on turf, while 10/1 (8) HARB is likely one to avoid on grass. 10/1 (7) RECON MISSION has a chance if he can replicate past successes, but may need time to get into form. 11/1 (6) RUM COCKTAIL Revival and 5/1 (4) KAPE MOSS have potential but both have some question marks around them, such as debut for new connections or sharp 5f distance for 5/1 (4) KAPE MOSS. 9/1 (2) TWILIGHT MADNESS may have work to do up in grade on this type of ground. 7.5/1 (5) ANGLE LAND has potential but recent form has been mixed.

LIHOU lost little in defeat when beaten just under a length in third at Newmarket last Tuesday and a similar bid may suffice for David Evans' gelding. Kape Moss triumphed at Southwell on her seasonal return and she isn't taken lightly off only 3lb higher. Dig Two wasn't disgraced when finishing third over 6f on his stable debut at Kempton earlier in the month and the four-year-old should remain competitive dropping back in trip.

DIG TWO made an excellent start for his new trainer when third under Oisin Murphy in a stronger race at Kempton a fortnight ago and he could be the way to go from the same mark. Kape Moss was value for extra for her taking Southwell victory and is feared most. Lihou, having a belated first start at Epsom, is also interesting.

On the back of an encouraging reappearance effort, DIG TWO gets the vote. Rum Cocktail is second choice.

14:05 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (3) VITRALITE seems to have the strongest claims for a win. They won their last race at Chelmsford City and their form has been franked, meaning it has been validated by other horses in subsequent races. They are also expected to have more room for improvement in terms of handicapping. The other horses have either been inconsistent or are carrying additional weight, which may affect their performance.

The in-form Cavalluccio kept on well to record a second career victory last time out at Chelmsford and the four-year-old demands the utmost respect under a 5lb penalty. Preference, however, goes to ELEVEN ELEVEN, who gave a good account in testing conditions when third at Nottingham earlier this month. He may be the one to beat off an unchanged mark, while Vitralite completes the shortlist after obliging off 3lb lower at Chelmsford on his latest outing.

VITRALITE retains plenty of handicapping scope on old form so he's fully expected to follow up from Chelmsford. Eleven Eleven should give another good account, while Bulleit is capable fresh and will benefit from a return to 1m.

Sean Woods's new recruit VITRALITE took advantage of a hugely reduced mark when scoring at Chelmsford and can follow up.

14:15 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

4.5/1 (7) KALPAGA seems to have the best recent form, having won easily at Hereford just 19 days ago. Although she is now up 11 lbs in weight, she still demands consideration. 5.5/1 (4) FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS won from a lower mark in January but subsequent efforts suggest she may be in the grip of the assessor. 6/1 (3) HOUI CHERIE also showed promise last month but struggled in her last race at Carlisle. 25/1 (10) GETBAZOUTOFHERE is down to a tempting mark but hasn't returned to top form yet. 12/1 (6) COTTON END is an interesting contender with her mark having come down a lot since switching to hurdling, but she still has stamina to prove. 3.5/1 (2) PHILLAPA SUE has been solid but unspectacular, and 4.5/1 (9) NIKHI is tackling a new trip for her handicap debut. 7/1 (1) JANE DU BERLAIS is early on in her career and is now up significantly in trip. Based on this information, 4.5/1 (7) KALPAGA is the most likely to do well in the next race.

KALPAGA bolted up at Hereford last time over 2m3f and she was put up 11lb for that effort, which might not be enough to prevent the mare from going in once more. With conditions in her favour and the step up in trip a possible source of improvement, she could prove tough to beat. Fay Ce Que Voudras has to be respected, as she takes a drop in class and was dropped 2lb for a respectable effort at Chepstow last time. Phillapa Sue is another to consider.

It might be worth taking a punt on COTTON END, who arrives in no sort of form over fences but the assessor has given her a major chance returned to the smaller obstacles and the fitting of cheekpieces can be viewed as a sign of intent. Kalpaga will doubtless be popular given the ease in which she won at Hereford, with Nikhi a potential improver over this trip.

Kalpaga may have more to offer, but the tentative suggestion is Fergal O'Brien's PHILLAPA SUE who boasts a consistent profile.

14:25 Epsom Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Based on the summary, 0.4/1 (1) EPICTETUS seems to be the strongest candidate as they have had a very good 2-year-old season and have set a high standard for their yard. 6/1 (4) STORMBUSTER and 8.5/1 (3) INTRICACY also have potential, but 0.4/1 (1) EPICTETUS' record and performance in Group races suggest they may be the one to beat. 12/1 (2) HADRIANUS also seems like a promising prospect with room for further improvement. 33/1 (5) THINK FIRST and 40/1 (6) CITE D'OR may struggle to keep up with the top contenders.

EPICTETUS sets a high standard having filled the runner-up spot to leading 2000 Guineas hope Auguste Rodin in the Vertem Futurity at Doncaster in October and the son of Kingman looks to have found a good opening to kick off his season. Stormbuster weakened into last on that occasion, but it's too early to write him off and this step up in trip could bring about enough improvement to mount a challenge. Last-time-out winners Intricacy and Hadrianus are likely capable of better and can't be discounted either.

It's hard to see past EPICTETUS, who rapidly developed into a smart performer at 2 and can enhance the Gosden stable's fine record in this race. Intricacy looked good when readily accounting for some reasonable opposition at Wolverhampton in December and could be the one to give him most to think about.

Standard-setter EPICTETUS can enhance the Gosden yard's great record in this race. Stormbuster is second choice.

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

Based on the summary, the 0.8/1 (3) SIR BOLTON Blue Point colt and the 3.33/1 (2) SHAYEKH Kodiac colt are both rated as interesting newcomers for their respective stables, with the connections having a good start with their newcomers. They are both likely to do well, but it is difficult to predict which one will do better without more information. The 5/1 (7) PHOENIX DUCHESS daughter of Phoenix of Spain also catches the eye on paper and is an interesting newcomer. The other three newcomers have less information available, but they cannot be ruled out completely. The 50/1 (1) KING GARWOOD was last on his debut and needs blinkers to potentially improve his performance.

The in-form team of Dominic Ffrench Davis and Kevin Stott team up once again for owners Amo Racing and they can add another win to their growing tally with debutant SIR BOLTON. Out of a German Listed-winning dam, the son of Blue Point cost 155,000 euros as a yearling and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking. Cake By The Ocean is related to plenty of winners and rates the most immediate danger, while Shayekh is another to consider.

This is likely to go to a newcomer, with SIR BOLTON making plenty of appeal for connections who have enjoyed a fine start to the season. Shayekh and Phoenix Duchess are a couple of others to note, and the betting will be informative.

Dominic Ffrench Davis's Blue Point colt SIR BOLTON fetched 155,000euros as a yearling so is taken to continue the yard's fine run.

14:50 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

It's difficult to make a definitive prediction based on this summary alone, but two horses stand out as potentially strong contenders: 2.75/1 (3) EATON COLLINA and 3/1 (5) JAZZ KING. Both have recent wins and appear to be in good form over fences. 5.5/1 (4) WEWILLGOWITHPLANB and 10/1 (2) GARINCHA also seem to have potential, but may need to prove themselves further in this sphere. The others have either yet to show their ability over fences or have had recent struggles, making them less likely to be top contenders in their next race.

Viva Lavilla returns from a short break for the in-form Dan Skelton yard and the seven-year-old tries first-time cheekpieces, which could spark some improvement. However, he may have to play second best to JAZZ KING, who hacked up over this trip at Ludlow on his latest outing and was only put up 7lb for that effort. The son of Kapgarde is likely to have loads more to come on only his second chase start and can strike once again. Wewillgowithplanb returns back to this sphere and that could prove a positive move.

An interesting novice handicap. JAZZ KING is open to improvement on the back of his comfortable Ludlow chase debut success and can make light of a 7 lb rise. Wewillgowithplanb is another who likely has more to offer in this sphere and may provide the chief threat ahead of the hat-trick seeking Eaton Collina.

Richard Bandey's 6yo WEWILLGOWITHPLANB looks the way to go here with this longer trip very much in his favour now he goes back chasing.

5.5/1 (3) CAIUS CHORISTER seems like a strong contender as a generally progressive horse who has had recent success in handicaps and finished second in a competitive race at the York Ebor meeting. The fact that the yard won this race last year also adds to his appeal. 5/1 (5) LORD PROTECTOR may also be worth considering as he has had wind surgery and has shown good form in the past, including winning a Sandown handicap and finishing fifth in a competitive race at Glorious Goodwood. 2.75/1 (8) EDUCATOR might also be of interest as an unexposed sort from a top yard who has previously made a winning handicap debut.

HARROVIAN hasn't quite hit the same heights since being campaigned on the all-weather, but he returns to handicaps on the turf off what appears to be a tempting mark, so the seven-year-old could return to winning ways. Educator may find some improvement for a gelding operation and has to command the utmost respect, having won on his seasonal reappearance at Newmarket last April, with the returning Scampi making most appeal of the remainder.

EDUCATOR is proven when fresh and it'll be a surprise if he's reached his limit after only 6 starts so he gets the nod. Ralph Beckett has his team in form and Lord Protector is an interesting contender back from wind surgery. The classy Harrovian may prove best of the rest.

Preference is for CAIUS CHORISTER (nap), who could well have more to offer this season. Educator is feared most.

2.5/1 (6) ZIRYAB and 4/1 (5) SAVANNA KING are the most likely to do well based on their impressive pedigrees and being trained by respected yards. 3.33/1 (1) BEAR ON THE LOOSE also showed promise in their debut, so could also perform well in future races.

Bear On The Loose hit the line with plenty of conviction when third at Lingfield last month and he warrants consideration with the in-form Daniel Muscutt in the saddle. Preference, however, goes to the 525,000gns purchase, ZIRYAB. The stoutly-bred son of Kingman is a full-brother to King Leonidas and he can replicate his sibling by landing the spoils on his racecourse debut. Although Kingfisher King's pedigree suggests his best exploits may come over further, he could also hit the ground running.

BEAR ON THE LOOSE shaped well on debut at Lingfield last month and gets the vote before market clues can sort out the newcomers, Kingfisher King and Ziryab two in particular to note.

Some potentially useful newcomers on show and the Gosden's costly Kingman colt ZIRYAB gets the nod over stablemate Savanna King.

15:25 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as each horse has their own strengths and weaknesses and there is no clear standout. However, some horses that may be worth considering include 3/1 (9) ROBYNDZONE, 3.5/1 (6) PRINCE DES FICHAUX, 8/1 (1) EBONY GALE, 9/1 (3) LAST QUARTER, and 12/1 (11) EASKEY LAD. These horses have either shown recent good form or have potential based on their past performances. Ultimately, it may be wise to wait and see how the market reacts to each horse before making a betting decision.

Robyndzone won for the first time in almost three years when beating a subsequent winner at Hereford earlier in the month, but he may be worth taking on now effectively 10lb higher in the handicap with Charlie Deutsch back in the saddle. PRINCE DES FICHAUX was just under three lengths behind on that occasion and holds strong claims in reversing the form now only 1lb higher in the ratings. Premier D'troice arrives in good heart and is another to note.

ROBYNDZONE has a good strike rate over fences and arrives on back of a recent victory at Hereford. Still fairly treated, he can score again. Prince des Fichaux and Premier d'Troice rate the principal dangers.

Prince Des Fichaux still has potential but it might be worth chancing unexposed 6yo COPPER COVE, who makes his chasing debut today.

7/1 (7) OPEN CHAMPION and 5/1 (9) NEANDRA are the most promising horses based on the summary. Both have shown good form in the past and have recently put in respectable performances. 7/1 (7) OPEN CHAMPION is relatively unexposed and is one to be interested in, while 5/1 (9) NEANDRA's trainer has won this race three times, which adds to his appeal.

In this competitive contest marginal preference goes to the lightly raced four-year-old, OPEN CHAMPION, who found plenty of trouble in-running when sixth at Kempton last time out. The son of Postponed shaped better than the bare result suggested and gets the tentative vote stepping up in trip. Sir Rumi takes a step into calmer waters and must be respected with William Buick on board. The handicapper has loosened his grip on Dark Pine and he completes the shortlist.

A dual winner on all-weather last year, NEANDRA shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when finishing midfield in a stronger race over further at York in October and, from what rates a workable mark, she earns the vote to come out on top returned to action. Kempton eye-catcher Open Champion similarly remains low-mileage and he's feared, along with Lingfield-scorer Wonder Starelzaam and Sir Rumi.

Several runners are interesting, most notably NEANDRA. Open Champion and Haseefah give Alan King a strong hand.

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as there are several horses with varying levels of experience and recent form. However, some contenders may include 2.75/1 (8) NIGHT AND DAY, who won a hurdle at Clonmel in January, or 4/1 (10) SHECOULDBEANYTHING, who had a creditable performance at Cheltenham 40 days ago. 33/1 (9) POPOVA, a winner at Thurles in December and a respectable third at Naas 26 days ago, may also be a challenger. Ultimately, it will depend on the individual horse's performance on the day of the race.

THE MODEL KINGDOM disappointed when down the field at Cheltenham last time but should be much better suited to these conditions. A Grade 3 bumper winner at the festival last season, the Noel Meade-trained mare is at her best on tight flat tracks. She finished in front of Shecouldbeanything when the pair clashed in a Grade 2 Hurdle at Naas in January and looks capable of upholding that form here. The latter mare, trained by Gordon Elliott, was an honourable sixth at Cheltenham on her most recent start, so should appreciate the less demanding task she now encounters. With only four career runs over flights, the six-year-old has more scope than the majority of this field. Willie Mullins has a strong hand with Saylavee appearing the best of his three representatives.

SHECOULDBEANYTHING fared best of these in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham and looks the way to go. Walk With Paul and Nikini are a couple of the other likely sorts.

As the pick of Paul Townend, Night And Day has to be respected but THE MODEL KINGDOM saves her best for this track and is chosen

1.5/1 (4) BEELZEBUB is the most likely to do well in this race, as he has recently won two races and is expected to have more to offer.

SASSY BELLE displayed her liking for heavy underfoot conditions when travelling strongly to win a restricted novice stakes contest at Leicester in October and returns to handicaps on her seasonal debut with leading claims. Beelzebub completed a double on his return to action at Newcastle earlier in the month and is feared most off only 4lb higher in the ratings. Fellow last-time-out winner Kessaar Power made the perfect stable debut at Chelmsford last month and also enters the fray having received an identical rise.

Despite still looking a shade rough around the edges, BEELZEBUB built on his Chelmsford novice success when following up on his handicap bow at Newcastle earlier this month. It's likely that there's better to come from this son of Dark Angel and he shaped well on his sole previous turf start when making his debut at Newbury in October. Kessaar Power is a much-respected main danger on the back of his all-the-way win at Chelmsford, while Fox Master also needs considering now handicapping.

The verdict goes to improving BEELZEBUB (nap), who can make light of a 4lb rise in the weights and complete his hat-trick

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well from this summary as each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that stand out are 4/1 (2) BUMPY JOHNSON, 4/1 (9) BIG AMBITIONS, 4.5/1 (5) KING OF BRAZIL, and 9/1 (6) STANS THE MAN. 4/1 (2) BUMPY JOHNSON has solid claims and has performed well in recent races. 4/1 (9) BIG AMBITIONS is lightly raced and is open to improvement on handicap debut. 4.5/1 (5) KING OF BRAZIL has shown improvement over hurdles and could have more to offer in handicaps. 9/1 (6) STANS THE MAN has potential and may do better in this race as the heavy ground may have been too much for him in his last race.

BUMPY JOHNSON returned to form when a neck second at Exeter earlier in the month and a 3lb raise from the handicapper may not be enough to prevent David Pipe's inmate from gaining a second success over C&D. Big Ambitions makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair opening mark and he can't be discounted over this slightly stiffer test. King Of Brazil also makes his first foray into this sphere and enters calculations too.

BIG AMBITIONS chased home a decent novice in Etalon on his hurdles debut at Wetherby and again showed promise at Lingfield next time. The 5-y-o appeals as the type to take a step forward now going down the handicap route off what may well turn out to be a handy opening mark. King of Brazil is also unexposed in this sphere and is next on the list ahead of Stans The Man, who will find this more palatable than the valuable Sandown handicap he contested last month.

The very lightly 5yo BIG AMBITIONS (nap) is open to improvement on this handicap debut and he's the pick ahead of Stans The Man.

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but 2.25/1 (2) KADOVAR seems to have the best chance based on their recent form and their trainer's success in this race in previous years. 2.5/1 (5) HEY LYLA also has solid claims based on their previous performances and could be a strong contender if they return in good form. 1.88/1 (6) JALAPA and 8.5/1 (3) MERRY MINISTER have potential but may need more experience before they can compete at this level. The other horses are likely to struggle in this race.

Hey Lyla has been knocking on the door on most of her six outings and demands the utmost respect on seasonal reappearance. However, she may be vulnerable to an unexposed rival, though, and the Ralph Beckett-trained JALAPA, who showed glimpses of promise when third on her sole outing at Newmarket in August, gets the vote. The stoutly-bred filly is a half-sister to the same connections' Irish Derby winner, Westover, and may prove capable of shedding her maiden tag. Kadovar could benefit from a drop back in trip after a respectable effort at Nottingham.

JALAPA is from an excellent family and displayed a lot more ability than her debut rating suggests at Newmarket last summer. Sure to do a lot better as a 3-y-o, she's taken to improve past the standard-setting pair Kadovar and Hey Lyla.

Westover's half-sister JALAPA is open to improvement now up in trip on her second start and she earns the vote ahead of Kadovar.

The horse with the strongest prediction of doing well based on the summary is Won all 4 starts in bumpers last season, including Champion Bumper, and looked just as special over hurdles when ready winner of Leopardstown Grade 1 over Christmas period. This horse has a strong track record and has already shown success in both bumpers and hurdles.

FACILE VEGA should be good enough to end his season on a high, having redeemed his huge reputation when an excellent second in the Supreme Novices Hurdle last month. Some judges questioned his capabilities following a shock defeat at Leopardstown in February but the six-year-old silenced the doubters with a big performance. In fact, only for a mistake at the final flight, he may well have gone much closer. A Grade 1 bumper winner at this meeting last year, he looks the horse to beat. Stablemate Diverge outran odds of 25/1 when keeping on well to take third place in the aforementioned Cheltenham race. Given his lack of hurdling experience, the Chris Jones-owned gelding is entitled to show improvement. Il Etait Temps could only manage fifth in the Supreme Novices but is a real contender on the form of his Dublin Racing Festival win on his penultimate start.

FACILE VEGA proved his Leopardstown running in February all wrong when beaten only by a highly-promising rival in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and sets the standard on that piece of form. Stablemates Diverge and Il Etait Temps can battle it out for the forecast spot.

Though Facile Vega finished ahead of DIVERGE in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle the latter could have more improvement in him

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as all of the horses have some limitations or uncertainties mentioned. However, 3/1 (5) SMOOTH RYDER stands out as having a strong track record in handicap company and is dropping back in trip, which could be a good move. 3.5/1 (1) BURNISH also has potential with a step up in trip, but there are no clear indications of improvement from recent form. 4/1 (2) INTERGALACTICAT is an unknown in handicap/turf debut but has potential for improvement. 4.5/1 (6) DOG FOX and 5/1 (3) ABSOLUTE QUEEN are both lightly-raced maidens with limited experience, but could surprise with gear changes or step up in trip. 8/1 (4) ZEBRA STAR has potential but is a bit of an unknown in terms of whether this stiffer test will be a good fit.

SMOOTH RYDER's stamina appeared stretched by the 1m5f distance last time at Chelmsford and Charlie Johnston's charge can resume his progression now returned to 1m2f. Burnish has been running with credit over 1m of late and the son of Kingman rates the main threat, with this extra yardage expected to unlock some improvement. Intergalacticat's opening mark looks on the stiff side, but a recent gelding procedure may see him fulfil his potential.

INTERGALACTICAT showed enough in maiden/novice company on the all-weather to suggest that this opening mark will be within reach, particularly now that he is faced with a stiffer test. The fact that his yard has been among the winners of late also augurs well. Smooth Ryder was turned over when odds on at Chelmsford recently but is likely to make a bold bid back down in trip here, while Burnish, who shapes as though this step up in distance could be what he needs, merits respect, too.

James Fanshawe's INTERGALACTICAT appeals as the sort to show a fair bit of improvement now he steps into handicaps so gets the verdict.

Based on the summary provided, the horse with the most potential to do well is 2.25/1 (8) WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS. The form of this horse reads well in the line-up, and it has shown plenty in maidens/novice over hurdles. Additionally, it comfortably won its sole start in Irish points, which suggests it has races in it. While it took a crashing fall upped in trip at Fontwell, the horse remains with potential if that hasn't left a mark. With a breathing operation and sterner headgear tried, 2.25/1 (8) WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS is one to consider for this race.

WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS posted creditable efforts in defeat at both Chepstow and Wincanton last month and may have been found a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag under Rules at the fourth time of asking. St Patricks Bridge ran his best race to date when runner-up over 2m3f at Taunton in December and this longer trip of 2m6f could unlock some improvement. Norton Hill was still travelling okay when falling in the back straight at Fontwell on Boxing Day and also warrants consideration now returned to maiden company.

ST PATRICKS BRIDGE ran well at Taunton in December and this longer trip should suit so he gets the vote over Wideeyedandlegless and Norton Hill.

Point winner WIDEEYEDANDLEGLESS has shown promise on all three hurdle starts and gets the nod ahead of St Patricks Bridge.

The rest of the field either lack recent form or have yet to prove themselves in handicaps.

EXPRESSIONLESS hit the line with plenty of conviction when landing the spoils at Nottingham earlier this month. Despite being handed a 5lb rise, the Dylan Cunha-trained three-year-old may continue to improve and is given the vote of confidence. There are plenty of dangers, though, including Alpha Crucis, who stayed on stoutly in attritional conditions to record a first career victory at Windsor last time out, while Ludo's Landing is of interest after a gelding operation.

ALPHA CRUCIS took a big step forward when making a successful handicap bow at Windsor last week and a 6 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Buy The Dip and Serious Look should also go well.

The shortlist is headed by the recent winners ALPHA CRUCIS and Expressionless. Third choice is Serious Look.

16:50 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well from this summary as there are a few with promising potential, such as 5/1 (6) MERLIN GIANT, 6/1 (15) TEKAO, and 6/1 (4) BRAZIL. However, based on recent form, 10/1 (12) TELECON and 16/1 (1) FILS D'OUDAIRIES may be worth considering as they have both had career-best wins in their last outings. Ultimately, it will depend on how each horse performs on the day and how they handle the conditions.

TEKAO holds leading claims off a mark of 130 on just his second run in a handicap. The Willie Mullins-trained four-year-old was sent off favourite for the Boodles Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival but in truth, his chance had gone before the tapes went up. A buzzy sort, he suffered more than most from the false starts that plagued that particular race. Too keen in the initial stages, he never ran his race and is better than the bare form. Man O Work failed to complete on his last two starts but deserves consideration on his promising fourth placing at Fairyhouse in December. A strong traveller, he should enjoy the likely fast pace. Tax For Max was third in this contest last year and connections have probably had a repeat bid as a long-term target. He hinted at a revival when a close-up fifth at Fairyhouse last time.

A red-hot handicap that can go to MERLIN GIANT. He was impressive when scoring at Fairyhouse in December and seems sure to improve further. Fred Winter favourite Tekao never got the chance to show what he's capable of at Cheltenham and could go well. Fils d'Oudairies, Telecon and Brazil are also on the shortlist.

This looks very tricky but a chance is taken on GLAN in the hope that the ground dries out enough for her.

17:00 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2/1 (4) HAN SOLO BERGER and 3/1 (5) BANG ON THE BELL seem to have the best recent form and are favorites for the race. 4/1 (6) GUSTAV GRAVES and 4.5/1 (3) TROIS VALLEES could also be contenders based on their recent performances. 8.5/1 (2) MEDIA GUEST may be a long shot based on their lack of recent success.

Bang On The Bell landed a similar event at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and races off a 6lb lower mark now back on turf. However, he is 0-4 on grass and preference is for fellow last-time-out winner HAN SOLO BERGER. The eight-year-old has proven himself on softer conditions and also won over C&D off 3lb higher in June last year, which suggests he is well treated today. Trois Vallees is an interesting contender making her first start for the Charlie Fellowes yard.

HAN SOLO BERGER isn't the easiest to predict but he looked on good terms with himself when making a winning reappearance at Southwell earlier this month. The 8-y-o remains 3 lb below the mark off which he scored over this C&D last summer and earns the vote ahead of Gustav Graves. If recent all-weather winner Bang On The Bell is able to continue the good work back on turf he should also be in the shake-up.

ang On The Bell has a bit to prove back on turf so preference is for HAN SOLO BERGER who has no question mark on that front.

17:10 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform well. However, 1.88/1 (1) BOLSOVER BILL and 3.5/1 (2) HAVEANOTHERGOFLO seem to have positive recent form and may be worth considering. 4/1 (3) NATTY NIGHT and 10/1 (4) RING THE MOON also have potential as they are relatively unexposed as chasers. 14/1 (5) HIGGS, 14/1 (6) FANFAN LA COLMINE, Beannaigh, and 33/1 (9) GALA DES LYS have either had recent setbacks or lack form, making them less attractive options.

Bolsover Bill recorded a fourth success over fences when winning a small-field affair at Plumpton last month, but a career-best performance will be required today having gone up 5lb in the ratings for that victory. The son of Getaway still demands respect, but a chance is taken on the lightly-raced HAVEANOTHERGOFLO, who makes both his chase and handicap debut on this rare visit to Ffos Las by the Donald McCain team. Abaya Du Mathan arrives in good heart and the veteran is likely to be in mix once more too.

A winner of his only start in points, HAVEANOTHERGOFLO has shown fair form on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles and, making a quick switch to chasing/now handicapping, he's an intriguing runner with his yard boasting a solid record with it's runners here. The likeable Bolsover Bill rates a lead threat, with Natty Night another fancied to be in the mix.

The long-distance traveller and chasing debutant HAVEANOTHERGOFLO is narrowly preferred to the Plumpton scorer Bolsover Bill.

17:25 Punchestown Conditions Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.36/1 (3) ENERGUMENE seems to be the favorite and the one to beat as last year's winner and undisputed champion. Top-class chaser 5/1 (4) GENTLEMAN DE MEE also has sound claims of making the frame, while 10/1 (1) BLUE LORD may struggle to keep up with the likely strong pace. 28/1 (6) MAGIC DAZE faces a stiff task and is unlikely to do well, while 33/1 (2) CHACUN POUR SOI's age seems to be catching up with him. 66/1 (5) REBEL GOLD may struggle now that he's facing Grade 1 company.

ENERGUMENE can repeat last year's win in this contest, having also won the Queen Mother Champion Chase on his previous start. If anything, the Tony Bloom-owned gelding was even more impressive at the festival this time round, travelling strongly throughout before easily disposing of his rivals. Granted a clear round, it is difficult to see the nine-year-old getting beat. Stablemate Gentleman De Mee could be the one to lay down the biggest threat. An all-the-way winner at Aintree last April, he was hugely impressive at the Dublin Racing Festival in February but was a late absentee from Cheltenham. When on song, he is one of the best two-mile chasers in training. Blue Lord can complete a clean sweep for trainer Willie Mullins by taking the third spot.

ENERGUMENE confirmed himself back at the very top of his game when running out an authoritative winner of the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago and a repeat can see him follow up his win in this corresponding race 12 months ago. Gentleman de Mee, who defeated Blue Lord at Leopardstown in February, can confirm those placings and emerge as the lead threat.

A good-class renewal in which there should be plenty of pace on and last year's winner ENERGUMENE can't be opposed

17:35 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based solely on this summary, as it provides limited information about their previous performances and current form. However, 2.5/1 (3) JENEVER and 4/1 (5) MR FAYEZ both have recent creditable performances in handicaps, and 9/1 (8) GOOD TO GO had an unlucky third place finish in their latest race with a new piece of headgear, so they may be worth considering for potential success in their next race. It is also worth monitoring if 9/1 (2) AUTUMN FLIGHT can bounce back after a string of poor performances.

JENEVER (second) finished in front of Autumn Flight (fifth) on his latest outing at Southwell over 6f and although he is 2lb worse off at the weights with that rival today, he's still strongly fancied to confirm that form and win for the first time on turf. The son of Swiss Spirit remains in fine form and, if coping with softer conditions, ought to go close once more. Another to consider is Enchanted Night, who ran well in this grade over 6f at this track last time and goes off the same mark.

JENEVER arrives less exposed than most and, having run well when runner-up at Southwell (6f) on his latest start 3 weeks ago, he could be the answer returned to turf. Good To Go and Munificent are just a couple of others to consider in a tricky finale.

Jessica Macey's JENEVER looks the way to go, given he had to race wide throughout when 2nd at Southwell and can race off the same mark.

17:55 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 8.5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (8) NON MOLLARE and 6/1 (6) INEXPLICABLE Six are likely to do well as they have recent wins and good performances in their last races. 7.5/1 (1) WELL PREPARED and 7.5/1 (5) CARACRISTI are also strong contenders, while 14/1 (10) STORM ASSET and 40/1 (13) INDEPENDENT BEAUTY may struggle given their recent performances and overall record.

Well Prepared has to be respected off the same mark as when beaten under a length at this track last time and the six-year-old is likely to be thereabouts once more. However, a chance can be taken on INEXPLICABLE, as he ran well into third over C&D on his penultimate start and is fancied to show that level of form to go close off the same rating. Caracristi completes the shortlist.

The return to the AW coupled with this slight drop back in trip looks ideal for SUPERSTAR DJ, so he's selected to double his career tally. Non Mollare and Well Prepared are solid opponents.

Preference is for NON MOLLARE who won well over C&D last month and was a close third in a similar contest at Southwell last time.

18:00 Punchestown NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

2.5/1 (16) SPECULATRIX and 3.33/1 (9) PREDATORS GOLD are the most likely to perform well, based on their previous performances and strong pedigrees. However, other runners like 5.5/1 (4) FARLAND, 7/1 (13) TACTICAL AFFAIR, and 16/1 (15) ARUNTOTHEQUEEN also have promising profiles and could potentially surprise. The market will likely provide more insight into the chances of each horse.

Under the conditions of this race, SPECULATRIX escapes a penalty for her course-and-distance debut win earlier this year. On that occasion, the Gordon Elliott-trained filly led over a furlong out and kept on strongly to repel all challengers. With that initial experience a big factor against a field made up largely of racecourse debutants, she sets a high standard. Predators Gold is an obvious danger representing Willie and Patrick Mullins. Anything the champion trainer runs at this meeting commands respect but his record in bumpers is second to none. Derek O'Connor is a significant booking on Farland for Sean Doyle. A half-brother to a Grade 1 winner over hurdles, he is out of a dam who also won at Graded level over both hurdles and fences.

Gordon Elliott saddles 6 and unless the market suggests one of his newcomers is very useful, SPECULATRIX is the percentage call following a taking winning debut here in February. Predators Gold and Tactical Affair are probably the pick of the debutants.

A token vote goes to ARUNTOTHEQUEEN, whose dam won a bumper here and comes from the in-form Harrington yard

Based on the summary, 1.88/1 (1) AIHAWAWI and 2.25/1 (2) EIGHT MILE seem to be the most likely contenders, with 1.88/1 (1) AIHAWAWI setting the standard and 2.25/1 (2) EIGHT MILE having a progressive profile and good recent form. 9/1 (3) VICTORY HOUSE and 12/1 (5) BEAUTIFUL STAR may have an outside chance if they can improve from their recent performances. 5.5/1 (4) CHALK MOUNTAIN and 7/1 (6) BRIDGE WATER seem to have something to find on form.

AIHAWAWI was just touched off on his return to action at Newcastle last time and a repeat of that display would give him a leading chance to gain a first career success. The son of Ribchester looks the only likely pace angle in the race and that could prove to be significant. The main threat comes from Eight Mile, who has run with great consistency this year and can remain competitive, while Beautiful Star could benefit from dropping back in distance.

AIHAWAWI upped his game when runner-up at Newcastle earlier this month and is taken to go one better here. Eight Mile arrives in good form and is the obvious danger.

Having shown improved form when runner-up at Newcastle on his recent reappearance, AIHAWAWI is taken to go one better.

18:35 Punchestown Maiden Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, the horse that is most likely to do well is 3.5/1 (1) APPRECIATE IT. Despite a recent stutter in performance, the horse has a solid track record both in high-class hurdling and in impressive starts over fences. Additionally, the horse has been trying out new techniques such as a tongue tie and an attempt at 3m, which suggests a potential for further improvement. However, 3.5/1 (2) CLASSIC GETAWAY may also be a contender given its stamina and breeding, as well as its past success in maiden events.

JOURNEY WITH ME arrives here fresher than most, having skipped the earlier spring festivals. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding easily landed a Grade 3 Chase at Naas last month, having finished a close-up second to a subsequent Cheltenham winner on his previous outing. Stepping up to 3m for the first time over fences is also a positive factor for the Robcour-owned seven-year-old. While Classic Getaway doesn't appear to be the Willie Mullins first string on paper, the Cheveley Park-owned gelding very much catches the eye. A former point-to-point winner, he was an impressive winner on his chasing debut at Gowran in November and has proven that he runs well fresh. Sir Gerhard is arguably the class act in the line-up so is a real threat if over his Fairyhouse run.

This has a wide-open feel but JOURNEY WITH ME shaped like a horse well worth his place at Grade 1 level when successful at Naas in March and, returned to this longer trip, he could well be worth siding with to come out on top. Sir Gerhard, on the back of his second at Fairyhouse 16 days ago, and low-mileage Classic Getaway

Wide open but the lightly-raced CLASSIC GETAWAY could have most improvement in him now upped in trip

1.25/1 (3) GOOD MORALS is likely to do well as she has placed in her last two starts and has performed consistently in all three starts to date. She also holds strong claims and should do well over the longer trip.

POLAR PRINCESS kept on well to finish fourth on debut at Kempton and the daughter of Ulysses is open to a fair amount of improvement, with the extra furlong potentially aiding her cause. Good Morals showed up well on a couple of occasions as a juvenile, most notably when a head second at Newcastle in October, and she could have a say taking a big step up in trip. Stepmother can get the better of She's Out Of Reach in the battle for third.

This can go to POLAR PRINCESS, who offered plenty to work on from her Kempton debut earlier this month. Good Morals is the obvious danger.

Preference is for GOOD MORALS who showed ability in her final two starts last year and may have more to offer over middle distances.

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

Based on the summary provided, it seems that 1.2/1 (2) VITAL ISLAND has the best chance of doing well as it won this race last year and has been performing well in recent open points' at banks courses. Additionally, it had a very good fifth-place finish in a minor event chase at this course in November, which is the best form on offer. The other horses either have modest or poor form or are out of their depth in this race.

Last year's winner VITAL ISLAND can make it back-to-back wins in this contest. The 11-year-old arrives here in excellent form having won his last two starts in point-to-points. With a handicap mark of 122 over regulation fences, he is arguably the best horse in this race, before even taking his prowess for the banks course into consideration. War Call didn't set the world alight during his time with Dan Skelton but has won twice between the flags since joining Sam Curling. This represents a more realistic assignment for the Martaline gelding. Jet Fighter disappointed on his debut for Peter Maher at this venue in February but redeemed himself somewhat when winning a point-to-point last time. His trainer is well able to prepare a horse for these banks races.

Having won this race last year, VITAL ISLAND ran a cracker when fifth in a better race over the banks in November and a brace of point wins of late should have him spot on for a follow up. De Nordener was well behind the selection in the 2022 renewal but he's in top hands and won't lack for assistance form the saddle, with Jet Fighter another to consider.

Not much strength in depth to this and VITAL ISLAND(nap) is taken to repeat last year's win.

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary alone, as all of the horses have shown some level of ability or potential. However, 1.5/1 (2) BALLYMORE VISION and 7/1 (6) WALL GAME both have promising previous starts and are seen as capable of improvement, making them potential contenders. 6/1 (8) PEARLY STAR also showed some ability in her debut and may improve. Betting and market trends could help guide expectations for 14/1 (1) ARAWAN and 50/1 (7) BLISSFILLY.

BALLYMORE VISION shaped with plenty of promise when fifth on his sole outing at Newmarket in September. Richard Hannon's charge, who has been gelded since that effort, cost 120,000gns as a yearling and gets the nod on his seasonal reappearance. If he fails to fire, the most experienced runner in the contest, Valkyrian, may be able to pick up the pieces. Eden Storm gave a good account when fifth at Southwell earlier this month and is another to consider.

BALLYMORE VISION made an encouraging start to his career at Newmarket last autumn and might have struck upon a weakish race on his return to action. Wall Game, Nine Six Five and Pearly Star have the potential for better and can fight it out for minor honours.

Preference is for BALLYMORE VISION who showed ability on his Newmarket debut last autumn and is a half-brother to two AW winners.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary. However, some horses that stand out are 3.5/1 (4) DOWNMEXICOWAY, Belharbour, 9/1 (20) RAINBOW LILY, and 12/1 (2) ANKUD. 3.5/1 (4) DOWNMEXICOWAY has had a successful sole start in points and has an eyecatching jockey booking for his Rules debut. Belharbour has a strong pedigree and comes from a top yard. 9/1 (20) RAINBOW LILY is the Elliott pick with Jamie Codd on and has a pedigree that suggests she will do well. 12/1 (2) ANKUD has shown promise in his two maiden races and could perform well on better ground. Ultimately, the betting will guide on many of these horses' debut performances.

DOLLAR NOLIMIT made a highly encouraging racecourse debut when a close-up third behind Speculatrix over course and distance in February. It will be interesting to see how the winner of that race runs in the 6.00 here. Downmexicoway was an impressive winner of his only point-to-point start and that form has been advertised by the third horse since. Peter Fahey is always a trainer to respect at these festival meetings. Tom Pepper is a rare National Hunt runner for leading Flat trainer Kevin Prendergast. A well-bred son of Morpheus, he is related to a number of winners under both codes. Ninth Loch has to be respected as the sole Willie Mullins-trained representative in this finale.

The suggestion is Willie Mullins newcomer NINTH LOCH, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Dollar Nolimit and Ankud may prove best of those with experience. Rainbow Lily, Reliance Kid and Joyeux Vivo are other newcomers to keep a close eye on in the betting.

A chance is taken on DOWNMEXICOWAY, whose point-to-point win has been franked since and has Derek O'Connor in the saddle

12/1 (2) VIENNA GIRL and 9/1 (5) HUSCARI are the most likely to do well based on their promising performances in previous events and their favorable conditions for this race. 1.88/1 (8) MR RUMBALICIOUS and 6.5/1 (4) ASK PETER could also be contenders given their recent successes and potential for improvement at this distance. The other horses mentioned have either had inconsistent performances or show little potential to contend in this race.

MR RUMBALICIOUS relished the step up to this distance when recording a first career victory in a classified event at Lingfield last time out. The son of Kodiac returns to handicap company off an unchanged mark and is capable of backing that performance up, with David Probert taking the ride. Huscari was by no means disgraced when fourth at Chelmsford earlier this month and remains of interest, while the handicapper has given a chance to Glory And Honour on his return to the all-weather.

MR RUMBALICIOUS matched his previous best when opening his account in a 7-runner Lingfield minor event 4 weeks ago and, from a basement mark, he looks set to go well again returned to handicaps. Vienna Girl, a fair winner in bumpers, is interesting now upped in trip for her handicap debut, with Young Endless and Scarborough Castle others worth a second look.

It may be worth taking a chance with dual course winner SCARBOROUGH CASTLE who is up in trip, but is a half-brother to a 2m winner.

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (2) NATIVE BEACH and 6.5/1 (8) EQUIAMI seem to be the strongest contenders. 4.5/1 (2) NATIVE BEACH has won a maiden race last time out and is up in trip for her handicap debut, while 6.5/1 (8) EQUIAMI narrowly won his last race and is going the right way. 4/1 (5) HOBSON POINT and 3.5/1 (7) SO CHIC are also worth considering as they have had good recent performances despite not winning.

NATIVE BEACH showed a willing attitude when gaining a breakthrough win in a maiden contest here earlier in the month and Sir Mark Todd's colt could have more to offer now entering handicaps. Equiami returned to the winner's enclosure for his first time having got up to win at Southwell earlier in the month and he is feared most off only 2lb higher. Hobson Point also looks capable of picking up a race from his current rating and isn't taken lightly.

An open handicap with SO CHIC just about the most compelling option having won here in March and she was moving forward with purpose when denied a clear run at Kempton a fortnight ago. Hobson Point is likely to give it another good go, along with Native Beach.

The choice is EQUIAMI who has improved with each run on the AW. He shaped at Southwell last time as though the stiffer test would suit.

21:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

6.5/1 (5) MAY REMAIN appears to be the favorite to do well in this race, with two recent wins on this course and distance and a bid for a possible hat-trick. Other contenders to consider are 7/1 (10) BILLIAN, who has been running well and won a C&D race last time, and 8/1 (3) CATESBY, a C&D winner in March. 8/1 (4) ANOTHER ANGEL, who won on this course and distance last time but is now 5lb higher and drawn in a wide stall, could also remain competitive.

Billian returns to handicap company having won a classified stakes contest over C&D last month and a 1lb nudge in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Preference, however, is for fellow last-time-out winner MAY REMAIN, who completed a brace of consecutive victories at this venue when holding on for victory earlier in the month, and a 2lb rise doesn't appear insurmountable. Sympathise almost caused a shock when runner-up on her stable/handicap debut at Lingfield in March and appears capable of backing that effort up.

DARK DESIGN has fared a lot better with the draw here than he did at Lingfield last time and is selected to resume winning ways. The hat-trick seeking May Remain and last-time-out C&D scorer Billian are also on the shortlist.

This can go to SYMPATHISE (nap) who left her previous form behind when beaten a neck on stable/handicap debut at Lingfield last month.

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.
