13:05 Sandown Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

5.5/1 (3) KILLALOAN, 4.5/1 (5) UNDER CONTROL Ready, 8/1 (16) KANSAS DU BERLAIS, and 10/1 (7) IBERICO LORD are all strong contenders based on the summary provided.

Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden teamed up to win this race with Knappers Hill last year and they appear to have fair claims of following up with KILLALOAN. The five-year-old gelding has been a cosy winner of his last three starts on varying ground conditions and can continue his upward trajectory to defy a 6lb rise for his latest victory. Under Control has been given a 7lb hike for an impressive win at Cheltenham nine days ago, when conceding weight all-round, and will appreciate underfoot conditions. Beau Balko was a comprehensive winner over C&D in February and was just headed in the final strides at Stratford earlier this month, so he's likely to be thereabouts.

It's all come together for KANSAS DU BERLAIS this spring and he's selected to complete a hat-trick now switching to handicap company for the first time. The J P McManus-owned Nicky Henderson pair Iberico Lord and Under Control likely have more to offer and head the many dangers. Paul Nicholls' excellent record in this also earns Killaloan a place on the shortlist.

The pick is CELTIC ART, who had a good handful of subsequent winners behind when winning an 18-runner Wincanton novice in February.

13:30 Haydock Handicap (Class 4) 10f 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 its own strengths and weaknesses. However, 4.5/1 (2) THUNDER MAX and 5/1 (6) INNSE GALL seem to have good recent form and could be contenders. 12/1 (11) TELE RED and 12/1 (10) ARCTIC FOX also have potential, while 14/1 (8) MAGICAL MILE and 20/1 (13) RED DEREK may struggle due to their high weights and poor strike-rates respectively. It is advisable to check the betting before making a decision.

Arcadian Nights has won three of his last five starts on the all-weather but he returns to the turf off a higher mark. Billy Loughnane claims 5lb in the saddle, though, and he cannot be ignored. Thunder Max has been gelded since last seen and that may see him show some improvement, but a chance is taken on SPLENDENT. Placed off 3lb higher in a warmer race at Windsor last June, he pulled too hard at Wolverhampton in November but, if he settles better, he must have a good chance.

This looks wide open and it could be worth chancing TYPICAL WOMAN, who made the frame on each of her 3 visits here in 2022 and resumes on an attractive mark. Thunder Max has been absent for the best part of a year but he too returns to action on an appealing mark and will be a danger to all if ready to roll. Tele Red did well last season and should have a part to play, while Innse Gall is also shortlisted on the back of a solid reappearance effort on the all-weather.

Having enjoyed a progressive campaign last season, TELE RED earns the vote on his comeback. Arcadian Nights is feared most.

13:40 Sandown Conditions Chase (Class 1) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.25/1 (5) JONBON seems to be the strongest contender as it boasts a Grade 1 win and a record of 4 out of 5 over fences. It also recently completed a simple task in a Grade 1 race at Aintree. However, the prediction may change depending on other factors such as the track condition and the jockey's performance.

Greaneteen has landed the last two renewals of this race in impressive fashion and looks sure to give another good account of himself. However, this prize may go across the Irish Sea to CAPTAIN GUINNESS, who was 24 lengths ahead of the former when runner-up in the Champion Chase last month and he looks the likeliest winner today. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding won a Grade 2 at Navan in November and narrowly edges the vote. Its fascinating that Nicky Henderson allows his top novice chaser Jonbon to line-up here in open company after a bloodless victory at Aintree a fortnight ago and he warrants the utmost respect.

Successful in the last 2 renewals of this, GREANETEEN was undone by a mid-race mistake in last month's Queen Mother Champion Chase but it would be no surprise to see him back to his best returned to Sandown and he can land this prize once again. Sporting Life Arkle runner-up Jonbon had a simple task when resuming winning ways at Aintree a fortnight ago and is the clear danger.

The suggestion is CAPTAIN GUINNESS, who was the last bastion of resistance against an imperious Energumene at Cheltenham last month.

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

The one likely to do well based on the summary is 0.62/1 (1) DESERT MASTER, who is described as attractively bred, showed promise on debut despite inexperience, and is the one to beat according to the writer. 3/1 (4) SPANISH PHOENIX and 8/1 (3) OLD CHUMS are also mentioned as promising and likely to improve, but 0.62/1 (1) DESERT MASTER is given the highest praise. The other two horses, 16/1 (5) TOO MUCH TREVOR and 20/1 (2) JOHN STEED, are described as having potential but the writer suggests checking the betting to see if they are worth backing.

DESERT MASTER was extremely green on debut at Ripon last week and is likely to have learned a lot from the experience after staying on well to claim second. With that effort under his belt and Ryan Moore booked, he could prove very tough to beat. The main threat might come from Spanish Phoenix, who was only beaten three lengths into fourth on his introduction at Kempton. Newcomer John Steed is of interest, especially if attracting any market support.

DESERT MASTER showed lots of promise amidst greenness on his recent Ripon debut and can prove too strong for Andrew Balding's Spanish Phoenix, who is also likely to step up on an encouraging debut run.

On bare form Ripon runner-up DESERT MASTER has the best chance, followed by Kempton fourth Spanish Phoenix.

4.5/1 (7) PAPA COCKTAIL looks like a strong contender based on their recent win and good form, with a previous win at the course and being well-treated on old form. 8/1 (8) REDZONE also has a chance based on their encouraging return at Newcastle and a better strike rate on AW races. 12/1 (1) GLORIOUS RIO could also be a threat if they bounce back quickly from their recent setback.

MEGA MARVEL ran his best race for some time when returning from a gelding operation at Southwell and, although upped 1lb for that, he may well improve for his first start since last August. Brian The Snail might not be the force of old at the age of nine but he is well handicapped if anywhere near his best, though easy Southwell winner With Respect may prove a bigger danger.

PAPA COCKTAIL moved through the race stylishly before edging a tight finish at Southwell recently and he's worth a chance to follow up after a small rise. Mega Marvel is in good order and looks a danger, while With Respect remains well treated if he turns up in the same mood that saw him score at Southwell 86 days ago.

The return to Haydock could be the catalyst for a revival from DREAM TOGETHER, who is 9lb lower than when winning this last year.

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

Based on the summary, the top pick would likely be 3.5/1 (6) KITTY'S LIGHT as they are described as a

Last week's Scottish National hero Kitty's Light has been given the all clear from Christian Williams to bid for a quick-fire double today. He was third in this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and it would be some achievement should he succeed today, but he had a hard race at Ayr and is passed over in favour of REVELS HILL. He was last seen attempting to give the reopposing Coolvalla 5lb at Exeter last month, when going down by a length, and now meets that rival on better terms with underfoot conditions to suit, so he's fancied to turn the tables. Top-weight Frodon appears to have been kept fresh with this race in mind and isn't passed over lightly.

KITTY'S LIGHT was an unlucky second here in 2021 before placing third off a 5 lb higher mark 12 months ago so can make it third time lucky on the back of his Scottish National success where he travelled more sweetly than is often the case in refitted cheekpieces, which are again sported here. Upwardly-mobile novice Coolvalla could emerge as the chief threat in his bid for a remarkable sixth win of the term, with Revels Hill and handily-weighed Tea Clipper completing the shortlist.

Kitty's Light has leading claims but REVELS HILL (nap) is a strong alternative and Coolvalla is another for the shortlist.

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

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (1) DREADPIRATEROBERTS and 10/1 (4) TORVAR seem to have the strongest potential to do well. 1.63/1 (1) DREADPIRATEROBERTS has already shown fair form and sets the standard, and 10/1 (4) TORVAR comes from a good yard that has previously won this race and has a promising pedigree. 4/1 (9) QANDIL also has potential to improve, but with a slightly lower chance compared to the other two. The rest of the field either has less promising form or is difficult to predict as newcomers with limited information available.

Dreadpirateroberts was sent off favourite when beaten a length at Brighton and he has to be a danger to all with any improvement. QANDIL finished one place behind Archie Watson's colt, but she displayed signs of inexperience, including when swerving right at the start, and the daughter of Churchill may step forward enough to exact her revenge here. Pointofblue looks interesting, being from the first crop of Blue Point, and she may be one to watch on debut for the in-form Haggas yard.

DREADPIRATEROBERTS showed bright speed on last weekend's Brighton debut and could take a bit of pegging back if he can get out and grab the rail under Hollie Doyle. Qandil was just under 2 lengths behind the selection at Brighton but needed that experience and might get closer to him now. Pointofblue is a debutante who is a very likely type on breeding but her draw towards the outer has caught out plenty of newcomers here over the years.

Qandil can leave her debut effort behind her but so too may SOUL SINGER and he shaped well in a good race at Musselburgh.

0.67/1 (7) NAQEEB and 9/1 (6) MORDOR are both likely to do well based on their impressive pedigrees and potential as newcomers. 12/1 (2) FAZAYTE and 22/1 (3) MINI RIVO are also interesting newcomers to the Flat with promising recent form in other disciplines. 11/1 (5) LIMERICK BOUND may improve this year and be worth considering. The remaining horses have either showed little promise in their previous races or have unseated/jumped poorly in their debut race.

Prosecco brings the best known form to the table, when an eyecatching fourth at Yarmouth in October, and she is likely to be on the premises stepping up to 1m2f on her second start. However, the vote goes to NAQEEB, who is beautifully bred as a half-brother to both Baaeed and Hukum. If ready to go on debut, he could go very close for the William Haggas yard. Any market confidence behind Roaring Lion colt Mordor could prove significant.

NAQEEB is with a top yard and related to a pair of seriously talented performers, so he may well be up to making a successful debut at the likely expense of Prosecco, who is open to improvement. Mordor is also considered first time up.

Prosecco appeals most among those who have run but one of the newcomers is NAQEEB, a half-brother to star performer Baaeed.

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

Based on the summary, it seems that 4/1 (19) THREE BY TWO and 4.5/1 (3) HURRICANE DARWIN are the strongest contenders. 4/1 (19) THREE BY TWO has claimed a notable scalp and won a minor event chase at this course and distance, while 4.5/1 (3) HURRICANE DARWIN is a C&D winner and has shown good form in orthodox races. Both also have multiple wins this season. However, it's important to note that other horses may also surprise and perform well.

Last year's winner HURRICANE DARWIN comes here fresher than a few of his rivals and may be able to repeat the dose. The Westerner gelding has run well on a couple of occasions over fences this year and it's no surprise that he has been aimed at this race again. The mare Three By Two was a good winner here on Tuesday and commands plenty of respect turning out again. Midnight Maestro is another to consider.

Over half of these were involved earlier in the week so, with that in mind, PLAN OF ATTACK is taken to snap a lengthy losing run stretching back to 2019. Last year's winner Hurricane Darwin has presumably been saved for this contest so he may emerge as the main danger, while Three By Two took to the banks like a duck to water when winning over C&D on Tuesday and so she warrants plenty of respect if turned out again quickly.

Enda Bolger's BIRCHDALE will be hard to beat if adapting to this course in the manner usually associated with the stable.

3/1 (2) KNOCKBREX is the most likely to do well based on the summary provided. They have already shown improvement from their debut and made an impressive win at Pontefract recently.

Maxident upset the odds on debut when winning by 50 lengths at Leicester at 12/1 in a field of three, but that was on heavy ground and conditions are expected to be very different. He can only beat what is in front of him, but IF NOT NOW holds an Irish Derby entry and, if he is to compete at that level, then he needs to win this and follow up his ready debut victory at Salisbury. Gregory may be the best of the Gosden newcomers.

MAXIDENT was an emphatic debut winner and, while the ground at Leicester was undoubtedly a factor, he's worth a chance to confirm the promise and maintain his unbeaten record. Gregory has an impeccable pedigree and looks a noteworthy newcomer, while improvement is expected from both Knockbrex and If Not Now, who also shoulder penalties.

If the Gosdens' GREGORY lives up to his excellent pedigree he may be up to making a winning debut.

Based on this summary, 1.2/1 (3) HEWICK and 4/1 (5) SOLO seem to be the most likely horses to do well. 1.2/1 (3) HEWICK has already won the bet365 Gold Cup Handicap in the past and has dropped in grade, while 4/1 (5) SOLO is a bold-jumping front-runner who has been primed for the race. However, 7.5/1 (1) ELDORADO ALLEN, 12/1 (7) FANTASTIC LADY, and 14/1 (2) FIRST FLOW also seem like they could perform well. 16/1 (6) BLACK GERRY may struggle due to the stiff competition in this race.

A case can be made for several of these, but SOLO has been in good form of late and beat subsequent Grade 2 winner Datsalrightgino in the Pendil Novices' Chase at Kempton in February. A stiffer stamina test may not be enough to stop him from following up here and he can deliver another bold showing. Fantastic Lady recorded a very respectable second in the Topham at Aintree earlier this month and she can give the selection plenty to think about, while the booking of Rachael Blackmore on Hewick catches the eye and he should not be dismissed.

HEWICK was running well before he came down in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and, provided he's none the worse for that, he should be able to capitalise on this drop in grade. Solo will be a danger if allowed his own way in front and Fantastic Lady deserves a mention on the back of an excellent second in the Topham.

It's hard to knock HEWICK on these terms and especially after he held his own for such a long way in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

They have both shown promising first efforts and have recently placed in races despite experiencing some obstacles. Meanwhile, 2/1 (5) THREE YORKSHIREMEN, 66/1 (4) GOLDEN FIREFLY, and 80/1 (7) THE MALTON MAULER have less impressive form and have not shown as much potential for improvement. 33/1 (6) LUNAR BIRD is described as a longer-term project and is not expected to do well in this race. Finally, 7/1 (3) VICTORIA COUNTY has shown some improvement in recent races and may have the potential to improve further.

Three Yorkshiremen stayed on to grab second late on over 7f at Catterick earlier this month and he could be of interest upped in trip in first-time cheekpieces. Both Natzor and Victoria County represent trainer Archie Watson and it may be close between the two, but preference goes to BLEAK. A beaten favourite at Nottingham over a mile last time out, he is bred to appreciate this distance and commands plenty of respect.

THREE YORKSHIREMEN produced a solid comeback run when chasing home a potentially useful sort at Catterick a couple of weeks ago and, with the longer trip worth exploring, he could be up to going one place better equipped with first-time cheekpieces. Bleak remains with potential on the back of just 2 starts and is feared most ahead of Natzor.

Victoria County may prove the pick of Archie Watson's pair but BLEAK can improve again now upped in distance.

Based on the information provided, 6/1 (2) BOPEDRO seems to have the best chance of doing well in the upcoming race. He has recently won a 1m Newmarket handicap and showed a good attitude in fending off the runner-up. Additionally, he has a noteworthy Irish Cambridgeshire win in 2021. The other horses have either been off for a while, struggled for form in the past year, or face a tougher challenge in this higher grade.

A chance can be taken on AERION POWER, who contested warm handicaps in 2021 and makes his return to grass after a two-race campaign on the all-weather last autumn. Al Mubhir warrants respect following his fifth as favourite in the Lincoln and goes off the same mark. Bopedro has to be respected following his Newmarket win 11 days ago and he completes the shortlist.

Although never a serious threat AL MUBHIR's reappearance fifth in the Lincoln was a highly respectable effort and he can resume winning ways in these slightly calmer waters. Wobwobwob shaped well on his Redcar reappearance and is feared most ahead of Easter Classic winner Notre Belle Bete.

On the back of his respectable fifth in the Lincoln, AL MUBHIR (nap) is likely to resume his progress. Bopedro is feared most.

MY DESIGN has already run well over a marathon trip this season and looks capable of winning a nice prize. The Scorpion mare chased home Malina Girl in the Ulster National at Downpatrick early in the month and is only a couple of pounds higher now. Shane O'Callaghan landed a big pot here on Hereditary Rule here on Wednesday and his 7lb claim leaves My Design on a nice low weight. Willie Mullins is represented by Aione and he commands plenty of respect. The Coastal Path gelding bounced back to form when taking a beginners chase at Cork 20 days ago and better ground may have helped him then. The trip was perhaps on the short side for Mercury Lane when he was a close second at Wexford last time and he is another for the shortlist taking a big jump up in distance.

AIONE is very lightly raced for his age and impressed with his jumping when landing a novice at Cork recently, so he's worth chancing back in a handicap. History of Fashion and My Design both arrive in good order also and rank as the chief dangers in a competitive affair.

Runner-up in this race last season, THE DABBLER may go one better. An early mistake harmed his chance at Fairyhouse

Based on the summary provided, the 0.91/1 (7) STORMY SEA half-sister and the Frankel filly are the most promising horses for the upcoming race. The 0.91/1 (7) STORMY SEA half-sister has shown promise in her debut and comes from a top yard that has been performing well this season. Additionally, she has had a breathing operation, which could help her improve. The Frankel filly is a fascinating newcomer from a top stable and comes from a strong pedigree, making her one to monitor closely in the betting. While the other horses have potential, they may need more time or a stiffer test to show their abilities.

Sir Michael Stoute has had a fine start to the new season and that run may continue here courtesy of STORMY SEA. She chased home the more experienced Whispering Dream at Kempton on debut and was clear of the others. She has had a wind operation since and her pedigree suggests she will relish this extra furlong. Market Value will appreciate further in time but showed enough at Doncaster in October despite being slowly away to suggest she could figure. Any market confidence behind 650,000gns purchase Lmay for John and Thady Gosden on debut should be taken seriously.

The way looks clear for STORMY SEA to build on the considerable promise she showed when runner-up on her sole 2-y-o start at Kempton. Newcomer Lmay, who represents last year's winning yard, is feared most ahead of Market Value, who may need a stiffer test.

Lmay is a fascinating newcomer but slight preference is for STORMY SEA who shaped well on her only outing last year.

4/1 (4) HARPER'S BROOK and 8/1 (8) GLOIRE D'ATHON seem to have the most potential for a strong showing based on their past performances and current form. 4/1 (4) HARPER'S BROOK has been highly tried and may bounce back with a bold show in this less taxing race, while 8/1 (8) GLOIRE D'ATHON has won three starts over fences for present connections and lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Plumpton last time. However, 10/1 (3) QUINTA DO MAR and 5/1 (1) CAP DU MATHAN could also be contenders with their recent wins and solid form. 8/1 (2) QUEL DESTIN and 12/1 (6) FABLE are harder to recommend based on their recent performances.

Hudson De Grugy finished a neck in front of Quel Destin over C&D last month but Paul Nicholls' inmate can reverse the form now 2lb better off with that rival. However, his stablemate CAP DU MATHAN could be the one to side with, even though he has to shoulder top-weight on this occasion. He is now rated 5lb above his last winning mark but should not be taken lightly following a good second at Kempton last month. Quinta Do Mar is another to bear in mind up in trip from his latest success at Fontwell in February.

None of these can be ruled out with complete confidence. The value angle could be GLOIRE D'ATHON, who completed the hat-trick when scoring over C&D during the winter and his latest second at Plumpton was no backward step. Harper's Brook looks the pick of the Ben Pauling-trained duo and is feared most with his sights lowered having contested a Grade novice and the Ultima at Cheltenham the last twice. Paul Nicholls also saddles two and Cap du Mathan, the choice of Harry Cobden, also has claims.

There could be a big run in HARPER'S BROOK, especially should he revert to the patient approach that has worked well for him.

The other horses have some question marks around stamina, form, and performance on different surfaces.

THE PREDICTOR was progressive in staying handicaps last season, having won over this trip at Thirsk in August, and it would be no surprise if the four-year-old had more to offer. Land Of Winter scored over C&D in 2021 and is heading towards a competitive mark, with the handicapper dropping him 2lb for his return effort at Pontefract, while Barenboim could be interesting if handling a softer surface.

A wide-open stayers' handicap with the narrow vote in favour of IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH. He needs to dispel a lesser effort over hurdles in March but largely acquitted himself with credit in stronger company on the Flat last term and, from a reduced mark, he could be ready to strike under Hollie Doyle. Previous C&D winner Land of Winter and The Predictor head up the dangers.

Land Of Winter can leave his reappearance behind him but the lightly raced 4yo THE PREDICTOR should have more to come this year.

A step up in class may not be enough to stop SOCIETY LION securing a double following last week's success over this trip at Thirsk. Ed Dunlop's six-year-old can have another big say in proceedings off 3lb higher, although the second home Cold Stare is now 2lb better off and can give him plenty to think about. Maxzeno has filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings and is interesting on his handicap bow, while recent Windsor winner Coco Bear adds further spice to the race.

COLD STARE and Society Lion clash for the second weekend running, with the former taken to turn the tables from Thirsk and snap a losing run dating back to autumn 2021. Recent Windsor winner Coco Bear may prove best of the remainder.

If there's an unexposed runner in the line-up it's probably MAXZENO, and Mick Appleby's lightly raced 4yo gets the vote.

The other runners may struggle to compete at this level or need to prove themselves further.

SPYCATCHER was a most impressive winner of a conditions race at Thirsk last Saturday and, on that running, looks hard to oppose. He came from the back of the field last week and with the likely strong pace sure to suit and Pierre-Louis Jamin keeping the ride, he edges the vote. Biggles had a fine time of it last season and has a respectable record when fresh, so enters calculations along with Boardman, who ran a creditable race in the Lincoln.

BOARDMAN has shaped with more encouragement than his form figures suggest in a pair of outings this term and he may represent a bit of value in his bid to repeat last year's success here. Dangers are aplenty in this competitive event, with Spycatcher, Rainbow Fire and Witch Hunter perhaps chief amongst them.

There are a few pieces of evidence to suggest SPYCATCHER (nap) is on an advantageous mark and he's the pick ahead of Rainbow Fire.

15:50 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1.75/1 (5) LOVE ENVOI is predicted to do well based on the summary.

LOVE ENVOI is the form choice here and can confirm placings with those that finished in behind at Cheltenham. The Westerner mare ran a cracker in the Mares Hurdle when making Honeysuckle work for her fairytale ending and was nicely clear of the pack at the line. She likes to get on with things and the booking of Danny Mullins looks a perfect match. Queens Brook stayed on in third in the Mares Hurdle and has a few lengths to find, along with the fourth, Echoes In Rain, and the fifth, Brandy Love. Echoes In Rain would appear to be the main hope of Willie Mullins' trio so commands utmost respect. She failed to quicken after making up ground from the rear at Cheltenham and a stronger pace may suit better now. She also runs well around here.

LOVE ENVOI found only the remarkable Honeysuckle too strong in the Mares' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and can go one better here. Queens Brook and Echoes In Rain came in a good third and fourth that day and can again chase home Harry Fry's very smart mare in that order.

This is a rematch of the Grade 1 mares' hurdle at Cheltenham, and LOVE ENVOI can uphold form with the five who were behind her then.

16:00 Sandown Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 22f Race Class Flow

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

2.5/1 (5) THYME HILL and 2.75/1 (1) GOSHEN seem to be the strongest contenders based on their previous performances, with 2.5/1 (5) THYME HILL having won a Grade 1 novice chase and 2.75/1 (1) GOSHEN being a very smart hurdler when on form. 3.33/1 (2) KNAPPERS HILL and 3.33/1 (6) THEATRE GLORY are also considered but seem to have had some inconsistent performances lately. 11/1 (3) CALL ME LORD has previously won this contest but needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham.

Following an indifferent spell over the larger obstacles, the classy THYME HILL can regain the winning thread now back hurdling. Often a player at the highest level, his greatest triumph was arguably when winning the Liverpool Hurdle in 2021. With upwards of 2lb in hand on official ratings, he can defeat both Goshen and Knappers Hill, from whom the son of Kayf Tara receives 6lb. Theatre Glory came up short in the Mares' Hurdle last month, but she gets all the allowances today and can't be ruled out, while multiple course winner Call Me Lord is far from out of this too.

Having been unable to lay a glove on Honeysuckle at the Cheltenham Festival, THEATRE GLORY should find this assignment much easier, so Nicky Henderson's 6-y-o gets the verdict to notch a first pattern success. Thyme Hill couldn't get into any sort of rhythm in the Brown Advisory last month, so he's put forward as the main danger back hurdling, with Knappers Hill completing the shortlist.

Not much went to plan for THYME HILL in a Grade 1 novice chase last month but he's a high-class staying hurdler and gets the nod.

16:10 Ripon Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It would be difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary as each horse has its own strengths and weaknesses. However, some horses that may be worth considering include 2.25/1 (8) VINTAGE CLARETS, 5.5/1 (9) ILLUSIONIST, 6.5/1 (5) NOMADIC EMPIRE, 7/1 (10) COPPER KNIGHT, and 7/1 (4) JUSTANOTHERBOTTLE. These horses have either shown recent promising form or have demonstrated consistent ability in the past. However, ultimately, it is up to individual preference and further research to determine which horse may be the best bet.

Several of these boast good course form and it would come as no surprise to see the likes of Justanotherbottle, a three-time winner over 6f here, and Intrinsic Bond, last year's Great St Wilfrid victor, go close back on a happy hunting ground. However, Nomadic Empire and VINTAGE CLARETS could be more rewarding to focus on over this trip, with the latter shading preference after a solid display on his return at Musselburgh earlier in the month. Illusionist is also considered.

VINTAGE CLARETS made an encouraging return when runner-up at Musselburgh and can emerge on top in a very open sprint. Justanotherbottle is always to be feared here and is next on the list, while Hyperfocus is fancied to take a big step forward from his reappearance Doncaster run and can also have a say along with Nomadic Empire.

Justanotherbottle likes it here and has sound claims but VINTAGE CLARETS made a pleasing return and can prove strongest.

16:15 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

2.5/1 (1) HOUR BY HOUR is likely to do well as it has recently placed in a handicap race and has confirmed ability on soft ground. It is also shortlisted, indicating potential for success.

HOUR BY HOUR was only narrowly denied in deeper waters at Pontefract over 6f last time out and even though he has to shoulder top weight here, he is entitled to improve given that was his first run off a winter break. Angel Time bolted up in a claimer over 6f at this track and is feared most, although the unexposed United Force makes his handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces and also warrants a market check.

Scottish raider HOUR BY HOUR can build on his good reappearance second at Pontefract and go one better under David Probert. Ryan Moore gets the call up for United Force who can bounce back from a disappointing run at Newcastle and provide the chief threat ahead of Strategia, who may benefit from this drop back to 7f.

Free-going STRATEGIA gets the vote with this drop back to 7f in his favour. United Force and Hello Arthur are interesting.

16:20 Haydock Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (9) DECEIVER and 4.5/1 (5) ANIMATE seem to be the strongest contenders. 4/1 (9) DECEIVER has shown progress and has won a recent race, while 4.5/1 (5) ANIMATE has potential for improvement and a lenient mark, as well as having undergone a gelding procedure. However, other horses such as 4.5/1 (6) RACINGBREAKS RYDER and 9/1 (8) ACOTANGO cannot be discounted and may surprise as well.

An opening mark of 79 appears workable for DECEIVER, who was a decisive winner at Kempton over 7f last month and looks open to any amount of improvement. The son of Cracksman showed ability in both starts last season but, following a gelding operation throughout the winter, he now looks a different proposition. Racingbreaks Ryder has been given a 5lb rise for a narrow victory at Nottingham earlier this month and looks sure to be in the mix again, while Conservationist warrants respect too.

Another tricky three-year-old handicap. ANIMATE still looked a bit rough around the edges when last seen but appealed as one who was almost certainly ahead of his mark and is taken to make a winning reappearance having been gelded. Racingbreaks Ryder and Deceiver arrive on the back of recent victories and are both highly respected, with Kempton nursery winner Acotango another player on his return.

The Kublers did extremely well with Outgate and his half-brother DECEIVER is taken to make a winning handicap debut.

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

Based on the summary, 7/1 (5) DARVER STAR seems like a strong contender with three wins this season and a good second in a recent handicap chase. The addition of cheekpieces may also give him an extra edge. 8/1 (1) SAM BROWN is also worth considering with a yard in good form and the addition of blinkers. 3/1 (4) RAMILLIES has potential but has been demoted for causing interference and pulled up in his last race. 6.5/1 (7) FLEGMATIK, 14/1 (13) BALLYKEEL, and 18/1 (12) BRIDESWELL LAD could also give good accounts.

Leinster National winner DIOL KER was a first fence casualty in the Grand National but had previously finished a good second in the Paddy Power last Christmas. He is ground-versatile and stays this distance. Ramillies was pulled up in a Cheltenham Grade 1 but now drops in grade and contests his first handicap while Escaria Ten stays well but was pulled up in at Cheltenham handicap. Champagne Gold was hampered early-on when eventually pulling up at Cheltenham. Darver Star ran well in a lesser race at Wexford while Flegmatik has been running well in similar UK handicaps. Most of Brideswell Lad's form is over middle-distances and while progressive, competes from a career high mark stepping up in grade. Fire Attack jumps left but was a course chase winner last May while Must Be Obeyed pulled up in the Irish National but had previously run well at Navan (beating Percy Warner). Jerandme fell, when disputing the lead, last time and has handicap chase form.

Lots with chances but RAMILLIES is taken to bounce back from a poor showing in the Broadway at Cheltenham and resume winning ways on his first venture into handicap company for Willie Mullins. Darver Star is a consistent sort and feared most on the back of his good Wexford second, with Flegmatik and Must Be Obeyed completing the shortlist.

Though DARVER STAR did not cover himself with glory in his first spell over fences he may have the ability to win a race like this

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

Based on the summary, 2/1 (4) ICEO and 4.5/1 (1) SAMARRIVE seem to be the strongest contenders. 2/1 (4) ICEO is coming off a win at the Imperial Cup and has only been raised 6 lb, while 4.5/1 (1) SAMARRIVE won this race last year and returned to hurdling with a good third at Ascot. 8.5/1 (7) CREBILLY is also worth considering as a newcomer with promising novice form and room for improvement in handicaps.

A ready winner of the Imperial Cup here last month, it would be no surprise were Iceo to progress further for the red-hot champion trainer, but preference is for stablemate SAMARRIVE. Last year's winner reappeared with a good third at Ascot in February, and is essentially 1lb lower than for that success 12 months ago when factoring in Freddie Gingell's 7lb claim. Erne River ought to be capable of mounting a serious challenge, while at the foot of the handicap, El Muchacho merits respect.

ICEO has been kept fresh for this since his Imperial Cup win and, with the longer trip a potential source of further improvement, can provide the Paul Nicholls stable with a third successive win in this concluding race of the season. Consistent former C&D winner Bourbali is second choice. The unexposed Crebilly didn't fare too badly in the EBF Final here and is next on the list.

The rain has arrived in the nick of time for impressive Imperial Cup hero ICEO and he's preferred to the consistent Bourbali.

16:40 Ripon Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information given, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, 2.25/1 (5) CAPITAL THEORY seems like a strong contender, having won the last three races and with recent AW wins and a win at Chelmsford in March. Pride of Priory also has potential, having won three handicaps around this trip last summer and likely to be fitter after a recent reappearance outing on the AW. 4.5/1 (4) THUNDERING and 5/1 (2) DARK JEDI also have some potential based on their past performances, while 5.5/1 (6) AUSTRALIAN ANGEL and 10/1 (1) AADDEEY have question marks due to their lack of recent runs or changes in stable/medical history. Ultimately, the betting market may provide a better indicator of which horse is favored to win.

CAPITAL THEORY has progressed on the all-weather this year, which includes a victory at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, and reverts to turf with an appealing profile, especially in a contest that his trainer Charlie Johnston, along with his father Mark, have won the last three renewals. Australian Angel was kept busy throughout last season and is capable of a decent showing dropped back in trip, while Thundering can enter calculations based on his second at York's Ebor meeting.

CAPITAL THEORY could have a fitness edge on a couple of these and is taken to provide the Johnston stable with a fourth successive win in this useful handicap. Pride of Priory should be sharper for his comeback outing in the Rosebery at Kempton and is second choice ahead of the reappearing Thundering.

He's the old man of the party but DARK JEDI may prove best equipped for a slog in the mud. Capital Theory is next on the list.

Based on the summary provided, 1.75/1 (2) SILASTAR and 3.75/1 (5) IVY AVENUE seem to be the strongest contenders. Both have recent second-place finishes in handicaps, with 1.75/1 (2) SILASTAR being considered and 3.75/1 (5) IVY AVENUE worthy of respect on their second outings for their new yards. 5.5/1 (4) BIG BEAR HUG and 8.5/1 (6) CONTRAST also seem to have a chance of performing well based on their recent form.

IVY AVENUE made a promising start for these connections when filling the runner-up spot at Doncaster. She's well treated on the pick of her Irish form, and it would be no surprise were she to take a step forward for a trainer who often does well with his new recruits. Silastar merits consideration in the hands of Ryan Moore, while Big Bear Hug would also hold every chance if able to build on her recent Nottingham second.

IVY AVENUE made a solid start for Mick Appleby when second at Doncaster last month and takes marginal preference over Silastar, who shaped well at Kempton last time. Big Bear Hug also merits respect.

Contrast and Silastar are strongly considered. The top two options, however, may be Big Bear Hug and IVY AVENUE.

16:55 Haydock Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

Based on the summary, 4.5/1 (1) SERENITY ROSE seems to be the leading contender with turf form and a recent win on the all-weather track. 7/1 (6) TOMAHAWK KING is also a strong contender with a promising turf start and a good run on the all-weather track. 6/1 (7) LERWICK and 10/1 (10) DESIGN are worth considering as they both have been gelded and could improve. Other horses like 9/1 (2) ROCK OF ENGLAND and 16/1 (4) KRISTAL KLEAR have shown potential but need to step up their game. 25/1 (12) VAMPIRE SLAYER seems to be struggling and may not be a good bet.

Serenity Rose won with plenty in hand on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton in January and is worthy of serious consideration back on turf off just 2lb higher. However, several others have scope and this is no easy task for the filly under top weight. Handicap debutants Design and Fools And Horses could be good value to go close, but a chance is taken on the class-dropping OSCAR'S SISTER, who performed well to win over 7f here last September and could have more to offer now she's upped in trip.

An ultra-competitive finale which can go the way of SERENITY ROSE, who opened her account in a weak maiden at Wolverhampton in January and may well have more to offer back on turf. Kristal Klear could prove a different proposition now handicapping so she heads up the dangers, with Design, Hat Toss and Fools And Horses another handful to consider.

The tentative pick in a tricky 3yo handicap is TOMAHAWK KING who returns from a gelding operation with his yard in top form.

17:00 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.62/1 (8) LOSSIEMOUTH seems to be the most likely to do well as she has an unbeaten record, a career-best Triumph success, and has turned the tables on her stablemate. 3.75/1 (7) GALA MARCEAU, while a strong contender, may struggle to reverse form with 0.62/1 (8) LOSSIEMOUTH. 4.5/1 (4) ZARAK THE BRAVE also has the potential for more improvement, but it remains to be seen how he will perform against these competitors. The other horses, 14/1 (6) ENJOY THE DREAM, 20/1 (2) NUSRET, 100/1 (3) YOUR HONOR, 150/1 (5) CINSA, and 250/1 (1) JACOVEC CAVERN, seem to have less of a chance of doing well in this particular race.

LOSSIEMOUTH has done little wrong in five hurdle runs and can confirm Triumph Hurdle placings with runner-up Gala Marceau. A debut Auteuil hurdle winner last April, her only defeat came against Gala Marceau at the Dublin Racing Festival when meeting significant trouble in-running but holds an edge having beaten Gala Marceau for a second time, at Cheltenham. Gala Marceau is high-class but needs to improve slightly to win. Enjoy The Dream is improving and won a recent Grade 2. She seems suited by soft ground but has French flat form on good and while the Fairyhouse runner-up was previously well held in the Triumph, Enjoy The Dream is open to further progression. Zarak The Brave is held by the selection on December form and met with a training setback subsequently while Nusret was third in an Aintree Grade 1, finishing behind the Triumph Hurdle third.

This is likely to be another Willie Mullins domination, with LOSSIEMOUTH taken to confirm last month's Cheltenham superiority over Gala Marceau. The returning Zarak The Brave likely has more to offer and can make it another 1-2-3 in a Grade 1 juvenile this season for his all-conquering stable.

LOSSIEMOUTH (nap) justified favouritism in the Triumph last time and on the back of that career best performance, she's hard to oppose

Based on the summary, 2/1 (6) KITTYKARMA seems to be the most promising horse with steady progress and potential to improve over further distances. 2.25/1 (7) ATWATER NINE also shows potential as a filly with definite ability and signs of promise in her previous starts, but the market should be a useful guide. 2.25/1 (5) TULEKYA and 8/1 (8) VALSTAR are less likely to perform well with 2.25/1 (5) TULEKYA having only shown signs of possible improvement with headgear and 8/1 (8) VALSTAR being lightly-raced and likely best watched on return.

KLIMOVA made a promising switch to handicap company when second behind a subsequent dual winner at Wolverhampton in November. She is fancied to make a successful stable debut for Kevin Philippart De Foy, although Totnes could pose a big threat on her return to turf following a disappointing run on Tapeta earlier this month. Kittykarma makes her reappearance following a fair fourth at Pontefract in the autumn and completes the shortlist.

KLIMOVA continued her theme of race-by-race progress when runner-up on nursery debut at Wolverhampton in November and, having changed hands for 48,000 gns since, she's expected to make a bold bid returned to turf. Totnes promises to do better still and is feared, along with the returning Kittykarma.

Kevin Philippart De Foy has a strong hand with KLIMOVA, who has her first start for the yard, and Tulekya who now wears headgear.

17:15 Ripon Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

2.75/1 (8) SHIGAR looks like the strongest contender based on the summary, as he is described as unexposed, progressive and ahead of his mark. He also has a solid AW win and an impressive second at Newmarket on his record. 16/1 (7) MAKEEN may be a good each-way bet, as he has gone well fresh in the past and has potential to bounce back after ending 2022 below his best.

William Haggas rarely leaves Ripon empty-handed and the lightly raced SHIGAR looks a prime candidate to maintain the healthy strike-rate now he has proven his stamina over a mile. The son of Farhh was a close second in a similarly competitive handicap at Newmarket when last seen and, with the yard now hitting top form, he is dangerous to ignore. Darkness is feared most after a sound effort at Redcar on his return to action, while Poet's Dawn is also fancied to be thereabouts.

Lots with chances here but SHIGAR progressed well in a light 2022 campaign and resumes on an attractive mark so is taken to emerge on top. David O'Meara took this contest 12 months ago and his Darkness is feared most on the back of an encouraging Redcar reappearance second. Oh Herberts Reign, Poets Dawn and Blenheim Boy complete the shortlist.

David O'Meara has a good record in this race and DARKNESS (nap) is taken to enhance it after his encouraging reappearance at Redcar.

17:25 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there are several contenders with varying levels of form and potential. However, 4/1 (5) RAJMEISTER and 5/1 (4) NAVY DRUMS seem to be the strongest based on recent performances and handling of ground conditions. 16/1 (2) LAERTES also shows potential as a lightly-raced maiden who has been improving and could be a surprise contender.

Having been narrowly denied at Redcar two starts ago, RAJMEISTER made no mistake when winning at Nottingham to open his account at the 17th time of asking. That success might be the catalyst to better things for the son of Showcasing, so he's taken to defy a 4lb rise. Navy Drums has been in good form on the all-weather and he'll be a force if able to translate that form to turf. Laertes shaped with promise on his handicap debut, finishing third at Catterick in September, and a first-time tongue-tie could spark further improvement.

RAJMEISTER finally opened his account at Nottingham and is taken to follow up. Navy Drums is also in top form and is feared most ahead of the returning Laertes.

Stallone is respected but preference is for EY UP ITS JAZZ, who finished a place behind him at Thirsk last week after a layoff.

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

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary, as there are several horses with recent good form and lower marks, as well as some with inconsistent or unreliable past performances. However, some horses to consider include 4/1 (12) SEDDON, 7/1 (21) GREEN GLORY, 7.5/1 (8) AN EPIC SONG, 11/1 (14) TAX FOR MAX, 12/1 (17) HORANTZAU D'AIRY, and 25/1 (6) GALORE DESASSENCES, who have all shown good recent form and have respectable marks. 8.5/1 (18) RISK BELLE, who won at Fairyhouse this month and has been promoted, is also worth bearing in mind. Other horses may need to improve or have tough marks to overcome.

RISK BELLE has smart form in completed handicap and won a similar event recently. Unbeaten in two initial French hurdles, she is 7lb higher than when winning at Fairyhouse (Horantzau D'airy finished third) but might progress further stepping up in trip and remains a fraction unexposed. An Epic Song bumped into a well handicapped winner of the Coral Cup last month but would prefer soft ground. Galore Desassences ran well on his debut for Gavin Cromwell at Fairyhouse (Heia finished seventh) and has winning form on good ground while Green Glory has useful handicap form and should run well from 1lb out of the handicap. Tax For Max finished fifth to the selection at Fairyhouse and finished third here on Tuesday but is better at two miles. Ballyadam ran well in last month's County Hurdle but also steps up in trip while Cheltenham winner Seddon reverts to hurdles, having won in this sphere at Cheltenham in October but is probably a better chaser.

Willie Mullins has a tremendous record in this race and fields half-a-dozen candidates. HEIA, who is Paul Townend's pick, arrives here fresh on the back of an encouraging spin at Fairyhouse where she was returning from 9 months off, and the 6-y-o may well be the answer. Tax For Max, another member of the Mullins battalion, put in a good shift here on Tuesday and is feared most with this step back up in trip a good move. The in-form Seddon, An Epic Song and Green Glory are others to consider.

SEDDON took out a competitive renewal of the Plate at Cheltenham last month and he's rated 9lb lower for his return to hurdles

3/1 (3) RHYTHM On is predicted to do well as she has completed a hat-trick on her recent reappearance at Newcastle, and with a further 3lb rise, she has a good chance of landing a 4-timer. 4/1 (5) LITTLE MUDDY and 5.5/1 (1) MISS BELLA BRAND also have a chance, as they have both won recently and are proven on turf. 6.5/1 (2) ROSHAMBO and 14/1 (6) CLOSE QUARTERS may be worth keeping an eye on, as they are relatively unexposed and could improve with their respective yards. The rest of the field seems to have poor recent form and may struggle in this race.

There has been no stopping RHYTHM of late and Ruth Carr's five-year-old made a pleasing return to action when successful by half a length at Newcastle earlier this month. She is fancied to transfer that form to this surface, even though she is rated 8lb above her last winning turf mark. Recent course winner Little Muddy remains of interest stepping up from 5f, while Roshambo completes the shortlist.

RHYTHM picked up where she left off 6 months ago when completing the hat-trick under Jo Mason at Newcastle recently and, successful from a higher mark in the past, a bold bid to land the 4-timer is on the cards. Little Muddy was a good winner herself on return over 5f here 4 weeks ago and she's a threat, along with the returning Roshambo. Low-mileage filly Close Quarters is also worth keeping an eye on.

The Ruth Carr stable continues to click along nicely and RHYTHM is taken to defy the handicapper again and make it four in a row.

4/1 (8) GEMINI STAR seems to be the most promising from this summary. She has shown improvement in her recent races, finishing second in both her handicap debut and her first race after a break. She has also won a maiden earlier this month and seems to be up to doubling her tally. Additionally, she was a runner-up at Haydock on her only 2-year-old start, indicating that she has potential.

BROOKLYN NINE NINE didn't need to build on the promise of his juvenile efforts to get off the mark at Newcastle last month and the son of No Nay Never makes plenty of appeal on his handicap bow. Gemini Star is likely to enter the reckoning following her second at Nottingham last Saturday off 1lb lower, and she may benefit from the extra furlong on this occasion, while Another Baar, a winner here last week, and Spirit Of Applause are others worth considering.

GEMINI STAR made a winning reappearance earlier this month and, having improved further despite still looking a little rough around the edges when runner-up on handicap debut at Nottingham since, Alice Haynes' filly is fancied to double her tally back up at 6f. Brooklyn Nine Nine narrowly landed the odds at Newcastle last month and he could be the main danger now handicapping, with recent C&D winner Another Baar rounding off the shortlist.

Gemini Star can go well back up in trip but LAKOTA BLUE is of interest on his 2yo form and he had excuses on his reappearance.

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

3/1 (1) DIAMOND COTTAGE is likely to do well as it has won a race recently and had a career-best performance in its last race. It is also entering calculations for this race. Other horses such as 3.5/1 (3) MY BOY JACK, 4.5/1 (9) CAPPANANTY CON, and 6/1 (8) SIRIUS WHITE are also in contention and should be taken seriously. Horses like 14/1 (10) GONZAGA and 16/1 (2) RAIN CAP are not favored to win based on their poor performance in recent races.

Diamond Cottage made all to win at Brighton and she may try the same tactics, but she has an additional 6lb and is yet to win on the all-weather after nine attempts. Cappananty Con will make sure she does not get her own way on the front end after his second at Chelmsford last time out, and he might be the biggest danger to SIRIUS WHITE. Only beaten a head here latest despite having to race wide, he arrives in good nick and might take a bit of beating with a better trip.

CAPPANANTY CON is a long time without a win but has bagged four successes here and signalled he is ready to go in again when runner-up at Chelmsford last time. Sirius White is feared most on the back of his good recent C&D second, with Brighton scorer Diamond Cottage weighted to have a say too despite taking a 6 lb rise.

Preference is for SIRIUS WHITE who was beaten just a short head over C&D last time and remains relatively unexposed.

18:05 Punchestown NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, some of the horses that seem to have a good chance are: 1. 4/1 (12) RAINBOW TRAIL: Although he narrowly missed out in a point before, he has been sold for a considerable amount, and the winner of that point has run well in defeat since. The horse also has a good pedigree, and the trainer has a clear appeal. 2. 8/1 (2) BARONS REVENGE: The horse has a decent pedigree, and his dam is a bumper winner. He is also one of two horses for the top yard with clear appeal, and they are currently having a good spell. 3. 22/1 (13) REDSTONE: The horse was in the process of running a big race in his only point start, and he comes from a family of successful horses. He seems to have every chance on his Rules debut, but the market should be checked. 4. 22/1 (14) SOLO FLIGHT: The horse has gone close in both point starts, and he was bought for a considerable amount since his last race. He also has a good

WALK THE WARRIOR's yard does well in bumpers. By Walk In The Park and out of a bumper winner, he is brother to a dual hurdle winner and a half-brother to Grade 2 chase winner Churchstonewarrior and makes an early debut aged four, which is encouraging. Sorrentino has a good, mostly flat, pedigree. A half-brother to four flat winners, his dam is a half-sister to a Group 1 winner but also to smart jumper Mengli Khan and is Patrick Mullins' pick over Barons Revenge. He is out of a bumper winning half-sister to his trainer's Kempes, but debuts in a tongue-tie. Emmet Mullins won the 2021 renewal and runs Full Metal Jacket, which showed ability in a point-to-point and runs in a hood while last year's winner Gavin Cromwell runs Redstone, which held a winning chance when falling at Oldstown and looks capable. Quarry Rocco has changed hands following a Liscarroll point win while Rainbow Trail has been bought by Gigginstown, having been beaten by a subsequent dual bumper-placed winner at Corbeagh House. Solo Flight has points form while Chasing Unicorn's unraced dam is a half-sister to Next Destination. Goldinthemoutains is out of a Listed flat winner and makes a somewhat belated debut but represents leading connections.

The betting will help sort these out, with expensive recruit RAINBOW TRAIL and the Willie Mullins' pair Barons Revenge and Sorrentino the three against the field as things stand.

With no Rules form to go on, it's worth taking a chance on SORRENTINO for a yard enjoying a fine season with their bumper horses

18:15 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, the 1.63/1 (2) NOVATION colt and the 3.33/1 (1) BATTAAH colt seem to have the most appeal on paper, with strong breeding and a yard that has performed well with 2-year-olds in the past. However, it is always important to watch the market and see if there is any significant betting support for any of the horses, as this can often be a good indicator of their chances.

This could go the way of 150,000-euro yearling purchase SIOUX WARRIOR, who boasts an appealing pedigree and is a half-brother to classy sprinter Royal Aclaim. He can get off the mark at the first time of asking, but Novation's dam was Group-placed during her career and the son of Havana Grey can give the selection plenty to think about. Lingo Lady also warrants a market check.

The betting could be revealing for this newcomers event, with NOVATION, Sioux Warrior and Ziggy's Dream the three put forward before market clues.

The Richard Hannon stable sent out subsequent Molecomb winner Armor to take this on debut in 2021 so the suggestion is BATTAAH.

18:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

0.91/1 (6) RAYAT Stable's Starspangledbanner gelding is likely to do well based on the information provided. The stable has a high strike-rate at the current location, and the horse has a good pedigree with a 360,000 gns yearling price and a successful half-brother. The fact that Godolphin has kept faith in the horse also indicates potential.

It is unusual to see an unraced four-year-old Godolphin gelding but RAYAT makes his debut here for Saeed bin Suroor, and has to be of interest. A son of Starspangledbanner who cost 360,000gns as a yearling, he has clearly had issues of some kind but is taken to make up for lost time. One For The Frog could go on from his Chelmsford fourth, though Redcar third Auld Toon Loon may prove the bigger danger.

It's interesting that Godolphin have stuck with 4-y-o gelding RAYAT and he looks the way to go on debut before any market clues. One For The Frog and Al Baahy have races in them and have to be respected.

The vote goes to ONE FOR THE FROG who ran his best race when runner-up here last autumn. He may have needed his recent reappearance.

18:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (2) STERLING KNIGHT seems like a strong contender as he has won on slow ground in his last two runs and has a good track record of five wins from 19 Flat runs. His career-best win at Haydock when he was last seen also suggests that he is in good form. 7/1 (3) TINTO also has a chance if he can improve from his last run and put his best foot forward, as he is well-suited to the course and has a reduced mark. 2.5/1 (6) BERNARDO O'REILLY is another horse to watch, having won his last race and being a C&D winner, but the 3lb increase in weight may affect his performance. 6.5/1 (1) MAGICAL SPIRIT and 12/1 (4) GHATHANFAR seem less likely to win, having previously struggled in heavy conditions and showing some vulnerability. 14/1 (9) ROACH POWER, 14/1 (8) SEVEN BROTHERS, and 18/1 (7) RATHBONE also have something to prove or have been out of the game for a while, making them less favorable contenders.

Patiently ridden at Newbury last week, BERNARDO O'REILLY kept on well off a strong pace to land the spoils. He has gone up 3lb for that success, but that may not be enough to stop him having a say in proceedings here. However, Sterling Knight arrives in search of a hat-trick having notched up a brace of Haydock victories at the end of last season and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Rathbone can't be ruled out either.

STERLING KNIGHT ended last season on the up, bagging back-to-back Haydock handicaps over this trip, and he is taken to pick up where he left off by completing the hat-trick. A 3 lb rise for Bernardo O'Reilly's reappearance success at Newbury doesn't look excessive and he's a player. However, Tinto wasn't beaten far off a higher mark than this in a major sprint handicap last season and he is second choice.

Ed Dunlop's 4yo STERLING KNIGHT won at Haydock in his final two runs last term and is a big player if he can pick up where he left off.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 1.5/1 (6) WEDGEWOOD looks like the strongest contender as she has won before over the same course and distance and is still improving. 8/1 (8) MISS MARIANNE could give her some competition as she finished third to 1.5/1 (6) WEDGEWOOD in their last meeting and is now 3lb better off. 5/1 (5) ZEBADAAY and 8/1 (1) STAR ADORNED are both lightly raced and could improve, but 10/1 (2) GOOSE ROCK and 10/1 (4) TURBO TIGER have not been performing well recently. 7.5/1 (3) ASIAN QUEEN may need further and may struggle in her handicap debut.

WEDGEWOOD showed she had trained on at three with a C&D win earlier this month and, although upped 3lb by the handicapper, a mark of 48 still seems reasonable. Goose Rock won at Lingfield off this mark in February and, although out of sorts since, cheekpieces are added to help him, while Zebadaay showed very little last season but he makes his handicap debut here after being gelded and could go well.

WEDGEWOOD returned much improved from a five-month absence when scoring over C&D and a 3 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Miss Marianne chased home Tony Carroll's filly that day and can again feature, with the handily-weighted Goose Rock also making some appeal. Zebadaay is one to keep an eye on in the betting.

This can go to WEDGEWOOD (nap) who appears to be improving judging by her C&D last time when she had a couple of today's rivals behind.

19:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to make a definite prediction based on the summary as it provides information on multiple horses with varying levels of success and form. However, some horses with recent wins and good form on their preferred surfaces may be worth considering, such as 6.5/1 (1) LUNAR JET, 5/1 (2) DOWN TO THE KID, and 3/1 (5) DIVINE COMEDY.

LUNAR JET broke a drought when scoring at Redcar recently, and a subsequent 3lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Recent Southwell scorer Down To The Kid might not be far away on this switch to turf, along with Divine Comedy, who was in winning form when beating Eye Knee at Redcar when last seen. Iconique is another to note.

An open-looking contest with the vote in favour of DIVINE COMEDY. A low-mileage mare, she made it 2 wins from 4 starts last year when successful at Redcar in October (final start for Chris Wall) and it's possible she can rate higher still this campaign. Daaris is less exposed than most and is a danger, along with Redcar scorer Lunar Jet. Dundory is also worth keeping an eye on back on turf.

The return to turf and cheekpieces may well see DUNDORY take advantage of a reduced mark. Divine Comedy and Lunar Jet are next.

19:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the most promising chance of winning is

This could turn into a match between ALWAYS TOMORROW and Fair Wind, with the vote going to the former, as he won over C&D when just getting up on the line and should have learned a lot from that first outing. The son of Unfortunately is likely to have lots more to come on only his second start and holds a leading chance under James Doyle. Animist is best watched returning from a 552-day absence.

ALWAYS TOMORROW overcame inexperience to go in at the first time of asking over C&D last autumn and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to follow up. Nottingham second Fair Wind has the form to play a part and rates much the biggest threat.

This can go to ALWAYS TOMORROW who made a winning debut over C&D last autumn and gave the impression there was a lot more to come.

19:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to make a definite prediction based on this summary, as there are several horses with potential to do well. However, 7/1 (8) TIMEWAVE stands out as he has won his last two handicaps and is in good form. He also has experience on both turf and synthetic surfaces. 9/1 (7) DANCING GYPSY and 7/1 (2) ROOST could also be contenders, as they have both shown promise in recent races.

Dancing Gypsy has a 9lb pull in the weights with Timewave for defeat of less than a length at Kempton in January, and is fancied to reverse that form. However, preference is still for ANOTHER RUN, who can be forgiven his latest effort at Leicester due to the heavy ground. With conditions likely to be much more in his favour, and if able to perform to the level of his penultimate run when second behind Maasai Mara at Kempton, he could go very close on his handicap debut.

ANOTHER RUN likely struggled with the very testing conditions at Leicester on his return and he appeals as the type to make a better 3-y-o, so he's preferred to Timewave, who arrives on the up. Moush should bounce back from a disappointing run and he's also considered.

It's worth sticking with the progressive TIMEWAVE (nap), who made it 2-3 in handicaps with his eased-down win at Southwell.

6/1 (5) PRINCESS NIEVE seems to be the most promising horse based on the summary, with a good second in her last race and a stable transfer that could give her an extra boost. 8/1 (8) ALKHATTAAF and 3/1 (1) VISSANI 1-16 also have some potential based on recent performances.

Princess Nieve makes her first start for the Patrick Morris stable after improving in first-time cheekpieces to finish second at Kempton over this trip in February. She is likely to be on the premises off a 1lb higher mark, but the filly may have to play second fiddle to JENNY REN, who won over C&D on her penultimate start and is only 2lb higher. Imperative is another to note.

The vote goes to JENNY REN, who scored over this C&D on her penultimate start and will appreciate dropping back in trip having ran out of petrol close home when fourth over 1¾m back here 3 weeks ago. International Law wasn't beaten far when fourth at Newcastle and he is next on the list ahead of Princess Nieve. Following a creditable effort in a handicap hurdle recently, Alkhattaaf is also worth a second look.

The vote goes to JENNY REN who has gained three of her four wins over C&D and gets on well with Gina Mangan (2-4 on her).

HIGHFIELD VIKING looks a fascinating contender on his handicap debut. He is a half-brother to the stable's multiple Group 1 winner Highfield Princess, and has been gelded since last seen. His bare form is nothing to write home about, but he steps down to a sprinting distance for the first time. His stablemate We'renotreallyhere struck at Catterick earlier in the month and is respected after being put up 3lb, while Storm Fox and Trabajo Detecho are others to consider.

WE'RENOTREALLYHERE showed improved form and a good attitude to score at Catterick and he's fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Trabajo Detecho, who arrives in search of his third win in 2023. Mereside Diva makes most appeal of those making their handicap debuts and can complete the placings.

The suggestion is WE'RENOTREALLYHERE, who came good with a front-running win in the mud at Catterick two weeks ago.

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

Captain St Lucifer has filled the runner-up spot in three of his last four outings and can bounce back from a disappointing run over 1m2f at Newcastle last month. However, CRAZY SPIN is entitled to uphold form with Hopeforthebest, even though she only beat the gelded son of Helmet by a neck over C&D last time out. She is rated 1lb higher for that but is 1lb better off with the reopposing gelding when taking into account jockey claims.

CAPTAIN ST LUCIFER failed to make an impact at Newcastle but he went close three times over this C&D prior to that and could be the answer to an open-looking handicap. Hopeforthebest returned to form from out of the blue in this headgear combination when just touched off by Crazy Spin here a fortnight ago. He is taken to reverse the placings this time and emerge as the main danger. Graffiti also enters calculations.

Old rivals CRAZY SPIN and Hopeforthebest are closely matched on these revised terms, but the former knows how to win.

It is hard to look past OKEANOS, who drops in class following a comfortable success over 7f at this track earlier this month. He is now rated 3lb higher for that success but should not be taken lightly up in trip. Inexplicable recorded a much-improved second over C&D last time out and is feared most ahead of Arlo's Sunshine, who kept on well to score on turf at Yarmouth earlier this month.

OKEANOS appears to be going the right way judged on his breakthrough success in first-time cheekpieces here 3 weeks ago and, with the step back up to this trip likely to be in his favour, the 4-y-o is taken to strike again. Next on the list is Arlo's Sunshine, who returned to form when scoring on his second start for this yard at Yarmouth and remains on a workable mark. Inexplicable is best of the rest.

Preference is for five-time C&D winner INEXPLICABLE who again ran well when second here on Tuesday and is now 1lb lower.

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.
