13:42 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (10/1 +29%) On The Bubble	10 10/1(+29%)	(6) On The Bubble 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 100/1) 75 days ago. Hood on 1st time. 100-1 when trailed in last on her switch to handicaps on the AW in February; hood added.
12 2nd (12) (25/1 +0%) First Encounter	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) First Encounter 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 7 in nursery at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 173 days. Back down in trip. Five-race maiden who never featured in his two handicaps last season.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 +40%) Kingsford	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Kingsford 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, eleventh of 15 in handicap at Wetherby (8f, soft, 22/1) 4 days ago. Others preferred. Beaten 26l and 20l in two 1m handicaps, latterly on soft ground when tried in blinkers.
7 4th (7) (7/2 +22%) Alextrician	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(7) Alextrician 7/2, 28/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago. Finds himself in a weak race and could be capable of opening his account if fully effective on turf. All seven runs have been on the AW and he has been bang there in handicaps the last twice.
1 5th (1) (10/1 -67%) Lady Of Time	10 10/1(-67%)	(1) Lady Of Time 10/1, Promising type. 7/1, last of 9 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Open to improvement on seasonal debut. Modest last year but tongue tied for handicap debut; market interesting.
9 6th (9) (11/2 +8%) Too Much Too Young	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(9) Too Much Too Young 11/2, 16/1, eleventh of 12 in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 162 days. Liable to need the run. Showed enough last season to believe he can win races off this sort of mark.
10 7th (10) (18/1 -125%) Emilshaan	18 18/1(-125%)	(10) Emilshaan 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 9 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good), slowly away. Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Could do better. Showed a tendency to pull hard last season and failed to progress.
2 8th (2) (11/2 -22%) Happy Helen	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(2) Happy Helen 11/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in minor event (12/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to soft), better placed than most. Off 8 months. Bred to do better and one to note on handicap debut. Final run was her best and she can improve for going over 1m now handicapping.
4 9th (4) (10/3 +33%) Alice's Impact	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(4) Alice's Impact 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving John Quinn. Makes handicap debut. Open to progress and worth a market check. Another who offered little last season but is handicapped accordingly.
5 10th (5) (18/1 -29%) Fairfax Beauty	18 18/1(-29%)	(5) Fairfax Beauty 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (8f) 40 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut. Could do better. Beaten double-digit lengths in three qualifying races over 1m at Newcastle.
11 11th (11) (80/1 -142%) Red Hatter	80 80/1(-142%)	(11) Red Hatter 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 30 days ago. Hasn't beaten many horses in five runs, two of them handicaps either side of being gelded.
3 12th (3) (50/1 -614%) Sheila Tequila	50 50/1(-614%)	(3) Sheila Tequila 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 100/1). Off 8 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Handicap debutante whose best effort last season came when previously hooded.

13:42 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HAPPY HELEN produced her best effort to date when fourth at Thirsk in August and an opening mark of 56 appears to be more than workable based on that performance. Alextrician has been running with credit on the all-weather and may well be a threat on his first outing on turf. Others capable of taking a step forward include Alice's Impact and Lady Of Time.

ALEXTRICIAN is the only one with reasonable recent form and is worth siding with in the hope that he's as effective on turf as AW. Happy Helen is bred to be better than a mark of 56 and worthy of interest first time in a handicap, while Lady of Time also has potential.

The filly HAPPY HELEN ran her best race of last season on her final start and she should improve for this longer distance.

13:52 Ayr Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (9/2 +18%) Thelma's Angel	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(6) Thelma's Angel 9/2, Once-raced filly. Third of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f, 66/1) on debut 16 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better. Belied 66-1 odds when keeping-on third on debut at Newcastle (5f) last month.
2 2nd (2) (11/8 +21%) Jungle Land	1.375 11/8(+21%)	(2) Jungle Land 11/8, €180,000 yearling, Kodiac gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart 6f/7f winner Fresh and 5.7f/6f winner Temple Bruer. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. One to note on debut. 180,000euros yearling; bred for speed; no surprise if he features on debut.
3 3rd (3) (9/4 -63%) Moon Man	2.25 9/4(-63%)	(3) Moon Man 9/4, Backed up his promising Newcastle debut effort when close second of 11 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 20 days ago. Likely more to come and is the one to beat. Ran well in defeat in two 6f AW races; will be a tough nut to crack it turf also suits.
5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Spiritual Pursuit	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Spiritual Pursuit 5/1, Below form latest but had acquitted herself in all 4 starts previously and looks the type to bounce back. Slightly disappointing on latest outing but best form puts her right in the mix.
4 5th (4) (100/1 -52%) Oriental Prince	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Oriental Prince 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. 250/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 16 days ago. Looks a longer-term prospect. Safely held in two Newcastle novices this spring; low-grade handicaps beckon.

13:52 Ayr Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on both of his career starts, Moon Man ought to make a good fist of things if proving as effective on the turf but, though respected, JUNGLE LAND shades preference. This looks a good starting point for the son of Kodiac, who is a half-brother to the useful Fresh. Karl Burke's juveniles have been firing on the grass so far this year and it would come as no surprise were he to make an immediate impact. Spiritual Pursuit can chase the pair home.

It's hard to get away from MOON MAN, who has posted fairly-useful form in both starts thus far and remains open to improvement. Karl Burke's debutant Jungle Land has an appealing pedigree and may provide the chief threat.

After running well in defeat on both AW starts, MOON MAN may not need to improve to open his account on this turf debut.

14:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 12f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (7/2 +56%) Party Island	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(3) Party Island 7/2, 3-time C&D winner. Below form seventh of 16 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 9/1) 34 days ago. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last win was in 2022 and he's finished down the field in four runs this year.
2 2nd (2) (7/2 -86%) Born Ruler	3.5 7/2(-86%)	(2) Born Ruler 7/2, Dual winner in 2023 who wasn't disgraced when fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (11f) final run 7 months ago, needing a stiffer test. Remains with few miles on the clock and can do better still on his first go over 1m4f. Player. Lightly raced 4yo who could find more progress at this new trip; interesting on return.
5 3rd (5) (10/1 -11%) Myriad	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Myriad 10/1, In decent nick when last seen out, fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f, 10/1). Off 17 months though so has his fitness to prove. Has something to prove after 539 days off and is best watched unless market is persuasive.
1 4th (1) (6/4 +20%) Enough Already	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(1) Enough Already 6/4, Course winner. Latest win here in November. 33/1, good second of 16 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 34 days ago, clear of rest. Ought to be thereabouts again. Six-time winner who was a good second when upped to 1m4f here in March; key player.
4 5th (4) (9/1 -50%) Buxted Too	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Buxted Too 9/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 19 days ago, left poorly placed. Cheekpieces back on. Expected to be bang there off a 2 lb lower mark. On reduced mark but losing run is up to 13 and has form figures of 0090747 since November.
6 6th (6) (9/1 -13%) On The Right Track	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) On The Right Track 9/1, 4/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f). Off 6 months but no forlorn hope. Ended last season with three placed efforts and he's respected on his return.

14:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Beaten by just a length in a similar race over course and distance in March, ENOUGH ALREADY appeals strongly for a race of this nature, especially with Kaiya Fraser retaining the ride. On The Right Track has won over this trip when fresh in the past and, resuming off the same mark as when a respectable third in a deeper race at Wolverhampton in October, is entitled to be in the mix. Born Ruler disappointed last time out but may do better with the longer trip likely to suit.

BORN RULER gives the impression this step up to 1m4f should suit so Sir Mark Prescott's low-mileage 4-y-o is fancied to make a winning return at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Buxted Too. Course winner Enough Already can also have a say in an open handicap.

Top of the list is ENOUGH ALREADY (nap), who is unexposed at this trip and was an eyecatching second over C&D in March.

14:12 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (9/4 +36%) Paborus	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(4) Paborus 9/4, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in minor event (11/2) at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) on sole 2-y-o start, faring best of those held up. Open to progress. Didn't to unbacked at 11-2 when never-dangerous fourth from off the pace at Thirsk in Aug.
2 2nd (2) (9/2 +10%) Roberto Caro	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(2) Roberto Caro 9/2, Twice-raced winner. Won 13-runner maiden (evens) at Kempton (7f) 74 days ago, plenty in hand. First run for yard after leaving Ollie Sangster and while more will be needed back on turf under a penalty, he should have a part to play. Bought for 17,000gns since overcoming a wide draw to win for Ollie Sangster at Kempton.
1 3rd (1) (13/2 +19%) Diligent Resdev	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(1) Diligent Resdev 13/2, Once-raced winner. Won 9-runner maiden at Newcastle (6f, 33/1) on debut in November. That probably wasn't the strongest of races but it was a promising start nonetheless and he's open to improvement. Shock debut winner over 6f on the AW; might be vulnerable under a penalty.
9 4th (9) (150/1 -200%) Longhaired General	150 150/1(-200%)	(9) Longhaired General 150/1, €10,000 yearling, 1,400 gns 2-y-o, Kessaar gelding. Closely related to 1m-1¼m winner Come On John and half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f winner Parallel World and 1m winner Tamayef, both useful. One of 2 newcomers representing this yard, the other being Rapido Girl. 1,400gns 2yo; eighth foal; closely related to 1m-1m2f winner Come On John (RPR 75).
12 5th (12) (7/2 +89%) Royal Justice	3.5 7/2(+89%)	(12) Royal Justice 7/2, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, fourth of 11 in minor event at Catterick (7f, heavy) on debut 29 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve with that run under her belt. Questionable what she achieved when a 14l fourth on heavy at Catterick.
3 6th (3) (50/1 +50%) Georgie Wooster	50 50/1(+50%)	(3) Georgie Wooster 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 100/1) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Down the field over 1m on the AW and 7f on soft; handicaps are on the horizon.
6 7th (6) (66/1 +0%) Titainium	66 66/1(+0%)	(6) Titainium 66/1, 42,000 gns foal, 20,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Juan Elcano. Yard also saddles Bellasio. 20,000gns yearling; 1st foal; dam unraced half-sister to 1m2f Listed winner Juan Elcano.
5 8th (5) (100/1 -203%) Thrilling Dream	100 100/1(-203%)	(5) Thrilling Dream 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Another who will be of greater interest in handicaps later on. Has recorded low RPRs in both his runs, over 6f on good and 7f on the AW.
11 9th (11) (80/1 +20%) Moneypiece	80 80/1(+20%)	(11) Moneypiece 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden at Thirsk (7f, heavy, 66/1) 12 days ago. Hard to warm to. Hasn't shown enough in her first two races to believe she'll be winning this.
8 10th (8) (250/1 -150%) Laughing Lord	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Laughing Lord 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, last of 12 in maiden at Ripon (12f, heavy) 14 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Tailed-off last in races over 1m2f and 1m4f; makes no appeal on this sharp drop in trip.
13 11th (13) (40/1 +39%) Rapido Girl	40 40/1(+39%)	(13) Rapido Girl 40/1, Massaat filly. Sister to 6f winner Mas Rapido. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to 2-y-o 5.7f winner (stayed 9.5f) Mary Fildes. Entitled to come on for the run. Third foal; sister to 6f winner Mas Rapido (US); dam placed 5f (RPR 61).
10 12th (10) (11/4 -344%) Intertwined	2.75 11/4(-344%)	(10) Intertwined 11/4, Promising individual. Third of 10 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to soft, 12/1) on debut 13 days ago. That experience won't be wasted on her and she's the one to beat with improvement anticipated. Promising third at Newbury behind 1,000 Guineas contender Star Style.

14:12 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INTERTWINED made a promising enough start when third at Newbury just under a fortnight ago when displaying signs of inexperience. With that outing under her belt, that piece of form arguably sets the standard and she wouldn't need to improve much to get off the mark. Bellasio is best judged on his debut second at Newcastle, having disappointed at the same venue on his only outing since, while Paborus completes the shortlist after his fourth on debut at Thirsk in August.

INTERTWINED showed more than enough on her recent debut at Newbury to suggest that a race of this nature will be within her reach. Having shaped well on his sole outing at 2 yrs, Paborus gets the nod ahead of the penalised pair Diligent Resdev and Roberto Caro for forecast purposes.

The race in which INTERTWINED shaped so well at Newbury was won in a good time by 1,000 Guineas contender Star Style.

14:22 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (11/1 -38%) Ski Angel	11 11/1(-38%)	(10) Ski Angel 11/1, C&D winner last summer who added to her tally at Hamilton (5f) in September. Not at her best at Catterick (5f, heavy) on final start in October but not out of things from her lowly mark if ready to roll after 6 months off. Has fitness to prove but won twice last season and might have improvement to come as a 4yo.
2 2nd (2) (7/2 +65%) Emperor Caradoc	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(2) Emperor Caradoc 7/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 14/1) 29 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Out of form over 7f-1m2f this year; cheekpieces fitted for first 5f start.
5 3rd (5) (11/1 +21%) Sixcor	11 11/1(+21%)	(5) Sixcor 11/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. 22/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 55 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival returned to turf. Scored off this mark on AW in November but hasn't fired on AW this year.
8 4th (8) (18/1 -300%) Reinforce	18 18/1(-300%)	(8) Reinforce 18/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (5f, 25/1) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly if building on that here. 0-18 but did pretty well to finish sixth at Dundalk three weeks ago; a possible.
4 5th (4) (18/1 -50%) Modular Magic	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Modular Magic 18/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (5f) 6 days ago, making little impression on the back of 6 months off. This should reveal more turned out quickly. Soundly beaten on both AW starts for Jim Goldie, latterly on Friday; revival needed.
6 6th (6) (10/3 -67%) Golden Rainbow	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(6) Golden Rainbow 10/3, Latest win at Newcastle in March. Creditable second of 8 in handicap back at that venue (5f) 41 days ago. Effective for all he's winless on turf and respected as an in-form sort with Hollie Doyle an eye-catching booking. In good form on Tapeta in recent months and will be fine back on turf; good chance.
1 7th (1) (15/2 +6%) Havagomecca	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(1) Havagomecca 15/2, 6-y-o mare who won second time out last season but didn't really kick on thereafter, below form sixth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in October. Mark has fallen plenty ahead of return at least and this her easiest assignment for some time. Won off 9lb higher last spring but the rest of last season's form was underwhelming.
7 8th (7) (11/1 +45%) Sound Of Iona	11 11/1(+45%)	(7) Sound Of Iona 11/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Regressive mare who ran very poorly last month and remains a risky option.
3 9th (3) (12/1 +52%) Indian Sounds	12 12/1(+52%)	(3) Indian Sounds 12/1, Dual winner on turf last summer but not yet fired in 2 starts on AW so far this spring. Lines up here operating 3 lb below last winning mark but would need to see more encouraging signs before becoming of interest. Yet to strike form after two starts this year and may need a stiffer test than this.
9 10th (9) (11/2 -38%) Aconcagua Mountain	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(9) Aconcagua Mountain 11/2, C&D winner. 9/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 38 days ago, headway over 2f out and weakening final 1f. Return to the minimum trip rates a plus and better showing not ruled out. Won big-field C&D event in September but has not fired on AW this year.

14:22 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Sound Of Iona finds herself extremely well handicapped on last year's turf form and should not be underestimated despite a poor string of results, while Emperor Caradoc, who is similarly well treated, could improve for a drop in trip and the fitting of first-time cheekpieces. That being said, it is SIXCOR that gets the vote. Linda Perratt's six-year-old has gained three of his four turf victories over C&D and is now 5lb lower than when finishing down the field in this race 12 months ago.

A trappy handicap and with that in mind it may pay to take a chance on ACONCAGUA MOUNTAIN. He's fallen to a handy mark on the pick of last season's efforts and the return to this track/trip could spark a revival. Golden Rainbow arrives in good nick and is feared, with returning pair Havagomecca and Ski Angel others worth a look.

With most of these out of form it's hard not to be drawn towards GOLDEN RAINBOW, who has won twice on Tapeta this year.

14:35 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (4/1 +20%) Conquest Of Power	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Conquest Of Power 4/1, Suffered a poor run when seventh of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 13/2) 19 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces. Has to be taken seriously off an easing mark. Done well since upped to 7f; not so good over 1m latest but could bounce back in new visor.
9 2nd (9) (9/2 -29%) Daisy Roots	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(9) Daisy Roots 9/2, Course winner. 9/2, good second of 12 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 12 days ago. Can give another good account. 1m win here in October; at least as good in defeat twice last month; more appeal than most.
8 3rd (8) (25/1 -79%) Mount Mogan	25 25/1(-79%)	(8) Mount Mogan 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Eighth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D (AW) 41 days ago so needs to get back on track. Won a 0-55 over C&D in November; unplaced twice since and others are stronger.
2 4th (2) (11/1 -38%) San Francisco Bay	11 11/1(-38%)	(2) San Francisco Bay 11/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (6f, good). Off 7 months and needs to hit the ground running. Two wins (7f, AW/6f, turf) last summer; quiet run when last seen; bit to prove after break.
10 5th (10) (11/1 -120%) Milvus	11 11/1(-120%)	(10) Milvus 11/1, 7/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f). Off 6 months but he's no forlorn hope. Modest maiden but he was running well when last seen six months ago; check betting.
5 6th (5) (10/3 +33%) Brunel Charm	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(5) Brunel Charm 10/3, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, AW) 22 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Needs considering. Mixed record for this yard but 6f too sharp latest and on good mark dropping into Class 6.
3 7th (3) (13/2 +28%) Rabinal	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(3) Rabinal 13/2, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in March. Last of 11 in handicap (6/1) at this course (8f, AW) 24 days ago, doing too much too soon. Sort to bounce back. Two C&D wins this year; excuses the last twice; likely reviver in this field.
6 8th (6) (20/1 -67%) Bonkersinabundance	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Bonkersinabundance 20/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 14/1). Off 145 days. Not easy to make a case for. Won twice at Brighton last year; low-key run at Newcastle when last seen; better expected.
1 9th (1) (10/1 +0%) Royal Bliss	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Royal Bliss 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 25/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 118 days. Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. C&D win off 2lb lower in October; never featured twice after but back down into Class 6.
4 10th (4) (12/1 -20%) Global Warning	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Global Warning 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 66/1, respectable ninth of 15 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 34 days ago. Shortlisted. Strong fav when winning easily at Wolverhampton in December; mixed since; check betting.

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

Rated 86 at his best for another yard, GLOBAL WARNING remains attractively weighted in comparison and, off just 63 here, the eight-year-old looks worth chancing in a wide-open contest. Daisy Roots can give the selection the most to think about if building on last month's near miss at Brighton, while dropping back in trip should be be beneficial for dual C&D winner Rabinal, who is considered off just 2lb above his last winning mark.

A few with chances but CONQUEST OF POWER didn't enjoy the rub fo the green when seventh at Chelsmford City last time and has slipped to a good mark so earns the vote. C&D winner Brunel Charm heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Daisy Roots, Rabinal and Global Warning.

Rabinal is better than we've seen the last twice but the class-dropping BRUNEL CHARM may be the answer.

14:42 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (1/5 +9%) Not Real	0.2 1/5(+9%)	(6) Not Real 1/5, Promising sort. 5/4, second of 8 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 15 days ago. Sets the bar pretty high and should take all the beating with improvement forthcoming. Just missed out when favourite for AW debut and likely to be hard to beat here.
3 2nd (3) (10/1 -100%) Pendlebury Lane	10 10/1(-100%)	(3) Pendlebury Lane 10/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 17/2) on debut, not knocked about. Off 19 months. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell. Hooded for 1st time. Has potential despite long absence. Shaped nicely on debut but that was in September 2022; returns in a hood.
5 3rd (5) (4/1 +50%) Highfield Heiress	4 4/1(+50%)	(5) Highfield Heiress 4/1, Goken filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful French 7.5f-9.5f winner It's All A Dream and French 9f-15.5f winner Black Hawk. One to note on pedigree in a weak race. Half-sister to four winners in France from trips of 7.5f to about 1m6f; market informative.
2 4th (2) (200/1 -100%) Jamie's Choice	200 200/1(-100%)	(2) Jamie's Choice 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 13 in maiden (250/1) at Newcastle (8f) 24 days ago. Down in trip. Makes no appeal. Tailed-off last on two visits to Newcastle and she's dropping back from 1m here.
1 5th (1) (50/1 +24%) Fair Isle Sioux	50 50/1(+24%)	(1) Fair Isle Sioux 50/1, Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 8.6f Six Strings and winner up to 9f My Ukulele. Dam 7f winner who stayed 1¼m. Interesting newcomer if the market speaks in her favour. Sixth foal; related to winners but probably best watched on this belated debut.
7 6th (7) (100/1 +0%) Yeulan	100 100/1(+0%)	(7) Yeulan 100/1, Poor filly. Last of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft, 66/1) 7 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Nine-race maiden (5f to 1m2f) with a basement handicap mark; tries blinkers.
4 7th (4) (80/1 -300%) C'mon Coyney	80 80/1(-300%)	(4) C'mon Coyney 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 5 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) on debut 41 days ago. Unlikely to feature. £20,000 yearling; 33-1 when finishing a remote last of five runners at Newcastle (6f AW).

14:42 Redcar Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

NOT REAL was just denied on her racecourse debut at Kempton last month, having been outpaced at a crucial point, and the daughter of Kodiac has been found an excellent opportunity to open her account. Pendlebury Lane makes her first appearance since September 2022 and it seems notable that connections have kept her in training. She appears to be the likely main threat, with newcomer Highfield Heiress appealing most of the remainder.

NOT REAL shaped well having attracted strong support when runner-up at Kempton on debut and, provided the ground doesn't scupper her, she's fully expected to get off the mark at the second attempt provided Highfield Heiress isn't anything out of the ordinary first time out. Pendlebury Lane has a big absence to overcome but should do better at some point.

This weak race looks at the mercy of Kempton runner-up NOT REAL provided she copes okay with the conditions.

14:52 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (11/2 +0%) Zebra Star	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(5) Zebra Star 11/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, creditable fourth of 10 in C&D handicap (heavy) when last seen in October. Claims if ready to roll after 6 months off. Signed off with two respectable C&D runs on slow ground in the autumn.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 +33%) Rory	4 4/1(+33%)	(1) Rory 4/1, Unreliable individual. Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in February. Not on a going day when eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7f, 10/1) 41 days ago. Often starts slowly. AW winner in February but this quirky customer has a rather mixed record this year.
2 3rd (2) (11/2 +0%) Pembrokeshire	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(2) Pembrokeshire 11/2, Has struggled to make an impact on AW this year but has dipped to the mark he won off on turf at Musselburgh last autumn. One to note in the betting. Turf winner off this mark in October but unplaced all six AW starts since.
4 4th (4) (17/2 -42%) Gordonstoun	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(4) Gordonstoun 17/2, 11/1 and blinkered first time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) on reappearance 31 days ago. Visor back on now. Should be sharper for the run and Danny Tudhope does well for the yard. No shock if he goes well. Badly out of form during three-race campaign last year and made low-key return last month.
6 5th (6) (11/8 +15%) Global Humor	1.375 11/8(+15%)	(6) Global Humor 11/8, Three-time C&D winner who has been largely consistent in defeat since scoring on AW at Newcastle in February. Good second of 8 in 6f course handicap on Monday and leading claims if coping with the quick turnaround. Four-time course winner (6f/7f); kept on well for second here on Monday (6f); in the mix.
3 6th (3) (14/1 -180%) Plink	14 14/1(-180%)	(3) Plink 14/1, 6/1, last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 45 days ago, reportedly bled. Tongue strap on first time. A return to the grass needs to help him get his career back on track. Had excuse for below-par run last time; chance may depend on others setting a strong pace.
7 7th (7) (100/1 -400%) Hawkes Bay	100 100/1(-400%)	(7) Hawkes Bay 100/1, Poor form in 7 outings for Adam West. A watching brief is advised on return for new stable after 11 months off. Unplaced all seven starts for Adam West; makes stable debut after 11-month absence.

14:52 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GLOBAL HUMOR found only an in-form rival too strong when occupying the runner-up berth over 6f here on Monday, and this looks to be a good opportunity for Jim Goldie's gelding to go one better. Stablemate and perennial slow starter Rory is competitively treated and ought to hold every chance if breaking on terms, while the lightly-raced Plink is worth closer inspection in the first-time tongue-tie.

In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims GLOBAL HUMOR is taken to go one better than over 6f here on Monday. Zebra Star and Gordonstoun might be the pair to give him most to think about.

The most obvious answer is GLOBAL HUMOR, who makes a quick reappearance after keeping on well for second over 6f here on Monday.

15:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 (4) (9/2 +0%) Zing Up	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(4) Zing Up 9/2, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. 8/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on and she's not out of things. Yard in decent nick but there's nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh.
1 1st (1) (10/3 -178%) Wedgewood	3.333333 10/3(-178%)	(1) Wedgewood 10/3, 3-time winner on AW who has eased in the weights and again ran well when second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago, vulnerable late on having been hassled on the front end. Worth considering from same mark. Arrives in form; leading claims again but there's little room for error off this mark.
3 2nd (3) (7/1 -8%) Lion Ring	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) Lion Ring 7/1, One win from 41 Flat runs. 9/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 68 days ag, weakening over 1f out. Likely type to bounce back but strike rate does temper enthusiasm. Plenty of short-priced defeats; been given a short break since a couple of below-par runs.
2 3rd (2) (13/8 +51%) Pablo Del Pueblo	1.625 13/8(+51%)	(2) Pablo Del Pueblo 13/8, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Bath (5f, heavy, 20/1) 25 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. Return to this venue may help. Will always be risky but this is easier than he's used to off a career-low mark.
5 4th (5) (4/1 +50%) Autumn Flight	4 4/1(+50%)	(5) Autumn Flight 4/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 2 days ago. Others preferred. Regressed in recent times and doesn't arrive in much form; some way down the pecking order.
6 5th (6) (28/1 -40%) Perfect Symphony	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Perfect Symphony 28/1, Veteran C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 14/1) 24 days ago, ridden over 2f out and never dangerous. Others make greater appeal. Again finished well held behind two of today's rivals over C&D last time.
7 6th (7) (200/1 -203%) Hurricane Alert	200 200/1(-203%)	(7) Hurricane Alert 200/1, C&D winner. Thirty four runs since last win in 2019. First run since leaving Frank Bishop/23 months off when last of 6 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 100/1) 24 days ago. Can only be watched. Knocking on; offered little back from two years off behind three of these here recently.

15:05 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

PABLO DEL PUEBLO tends to go well for Georgia Dobie and, as a four-time course and distance winner, the six-year-old has a lot going for him off 13lb below his last winning mark. Wedgewood has been in good form of late and benefits from an eye-catching jockey booking, having won under Luke Morris before. Zing Up is another previous C&D winner to bear in mind with cheekpieces reapplied after possibly going off too fast when tried in a visor on her latest start.

WEDGEWOOD has highlighted she's ready to strike from her reduced mark in handicaps over C&D/Wolverhampton in recent weeks and she looks to hold sound claims here. The returning Zing Up and Pablo del Pueblo may well emerge as the chief threats.

Wedgewood's claims are obvious but she's taken on with PABLO DEL PUEBLO, who is well treated and in an easier race than usual.

15:17 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 5f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (20/1 +20%) Mrs Trump	20 20/1(+20%)	(9) Mrs Trump 20/1, 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 88 days ago. Hard to make a case for. This season has started like last year's ended; opposable for now.
1 2nd (1) (3/1 +14%) Showalong	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Showalong 3/1, Course winner. 10/3, respectable second of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, heavy) 10 days ago, running on. Has good chance on pick of form. Has his optimum conditions and arrives here after a good run at Pontefract.
4 3rd (4) (14/1 +13%) Prospect	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Prospect 14/1, 11/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Doesn't look the force of old and has plenty to prove. Well handicapped but hard to trust after the start he's made to this season.
6 4th (6) (3/1 +0%) King Of The Jungle	3 3/1(+0%)	(6) King Of The Jungle 3/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 29 days ago. Firmly on the up and fully expected to give another good account. Made it 3 wins from his last 4 runs at Catterick and raced away from the two he beat.
3 5th (3) (11/1 -120%) John Kirkup	11 11/1(-120%)	(3) John Kirkup 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 7/2, below form third of 8 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 8 days ago. Disappointing both starts this year so others preferred for all that he's gone well here. Multiple winner for whom 5f on testing ground is up his street; can come on for latest run.
10 6th (10) (16/1 +20%) Kyber Crystal	16 16/1(+20%)	(10) Kyber Crystal 16/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good, 11/1). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Alexandra Dunn. Starts out for a shrewd yard and warrants a market check. Only 1-24 overall; lacks a run and kicking off for a new yard, so looks best watched.
11 7th (11) (40/1 -21%) Irish Dancer	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Irish Dancer 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 12 days ago. Up against it. Four comprehensive defeats include his handicap debut; has no form claims.
8 8th (8) (7/2 +61%) Sir Benedict	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(8) Sir Benedict 7/2, Latest win at Southwell in March. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Bath (5f, heavy) 25 days ago. Not completely dismissed. After two AW wins he wasn't beaten at all far off this mark on heavy at Bath.
2 9th (2) (10/1 +17%) Brownlee	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Brownlee 10/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 4/1) 23 days ago. Not one to rule out dropping in grade. This year's efforts leave him with much to prove and soft ground is a complete unknown.
5 10th (5) (11/1 -300%) Exceed	11 11/1(-300%)	(5) Exceed 11/1, 9/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 9 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly. Consistent handicapper who beat all bar a race-fit rival last week, after a long absence.

15:17 Redcar Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A highly-encouraging second on his return from a long break at Yarmouth last week, EXCEED should be open to plenty of improvement and a mark of 59 may underestimate this consistent four-year-old. A winner of three of his last four starts, King Of The Jungle is likely to be thereabouts, along with Showalong, who ran his best race for some time at Pontefract recently and should enjoy this ground.

SHOWALONG ran well in a better handicap than this when second at Pontefract last time and he's already tasted course success, so he's a solid option ahead of the improving King of The Jungle. Exceed also makes plenty of appeal.

Others are potentially better-in but SHOWALONG (nap) has his optimum conditions and arrives here after running well in a higher grade.

15:27 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 10f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (9/4 +50%) Pol Roger	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(3) Pol Roger 9/4, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. After 6 months off, below form when seventh of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy, 14/1) 30 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark as he goes back up in trip. Might have needed last month's reappearance run, and has become well handicapped.
2 2nd (2) (15/8 +53%) Midnight Lion	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(2) Midnight Lion 15/8, Took advantage of his reduced mark at Newcastle (10.2f) in April. Failed to repeat that effort when seventh of 9 in handicap at the same course (12.4f) 8 days later, but he remains feasibly treated on old form. Clearcut winner at Newcastle two starts ago; held since but probably still on a good mark.
1 3rd (1) (7/1 -211%) Rose Donnelly	7 7/1(-211%)	(1) Rose Donnelly 7/1, Showed more than previously when fourth of 7 in maiden (22/1) at Kempton (11f) 17 days ago. Remains capable of better now switched to turf for her handicap debut. Shaped well when fourth in recent Kempton maiden; makes turf/handicap debut here.
4 4th (4) (4/1 -78%) Sycamore Gap	4 4/1(-78%)	(4) Sycamore Gap 4/1, Some promise in turf bumper (well backed)/minor events but never dangerous sent handicapping when sixth of 8 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 54 days ago, slowly away. However, he could yet do better now back on turf. Nothing better than a respectable sixth on handicap debut but not yet fully exposed.
5 5th (5) (9/1 -29%) I Doubt That	9 9/1(-29%)	(5) I Doubt That 9/1, Fair form in this sphere in 2022 (trained by Jimmy Fox). Has only had 3 starts over hurdles since for his current yard, absent 11 months (had wind op) before sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (16.9f, soft, 25/1) 68 days ago. Not beaten far over hurdles in February but current Flat ability very hard to gauge.

15:27 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Less exposed than her rivals, ROSE DONNELLY can make some good headway now she tackles handicaps and looks worth chancing on her debut run in this sphere, especially as she runs off a workable mark. All-weather scorer Midnight Lion, who has experience under both codes, rates the chief threat to selection on his first Flat run on turf, while Pol Roger enters calculations with this step up in distance a potential source of improvement.

Having shaped well in a couple of minor events, SYCAMORE GAP wasn't able to improve straight away switched to a handicap at Wolverhampton last time, but he's well worth another chance on turf. He's bred to be suited by this longer trip and can get the better of handicap-debutante Rose Donnelly, with Midnight Lion also in the mix.

The one with most potential is ROSE DONNELLY (nap), who makes her handicap/turf debut after an encouraging fourth on AW last month.

15:35 Lingfield Stakes (Class 3) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (8/15 +7%) Rosa Applause	0.533333 8/15(+7%)	(2) Rosa Applause 8/15, Blue Point filly who confirmed promise of her debut run when running out an authoritative winner of an 11-runner novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 30/100) in November, making all. Absent since but highly likely there's more to come and leading claims here. Two solid efforts last November; yard not got going on turf but she has potential.
1 2nd (1) (13/8 +1%) Dance And Romance	1.625 13/8(+1%)	(1) Dance And Romance 13/8, 240,000 gns purchase who made a winning start in 11-runner maiden at Southwell (6.1f) 3 weeks ago, ridden over 2f out and keeping on. Knew her job then but she's in very good hands and rates the type to improve. Successful debut on Tapeta three weeks ago; looks to have Rosa Applause to worry about.
6 3rd (6) (150/1 -127%) Tronido	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) Tronido 150/1, Foaled March 17. Aclaim filly. Offered little when last of 10 in minor event at this course (7f, AW) on debut in June. Much more needed if she's to figure back from 10 months off. 50-1 for her 7f debut here last summer, when slowly away and inclined to pull hard.
5 4th (5) (18/1 -64%) Princess Jastar	18 18/1(-64%)	(5) Princess Jastar 18/1, Dark Angel filly who makes appeal on paper and showed ability when eighth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 28/1) on debut 17 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Big price for her Kempton debut 17 days ago but offered a bit of promise having got behind.
4 5th (4) (200/1 -100%) Platinum Perfect	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Platinum Perfect 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, last of 11 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Hard to make a case for. Finished a remote last in two 7f runs; low-grade handicaps may be next on the agenda.
3 6th (3) (66/1 -100%) Livealittlecrazy	66 66/1(-100%)	(3) Livealittlecrazy 66/1, €10,000 yearling, resold €16,000 yearling, £15,000 2-y-o, Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 10.3f Banditry and useful winner up to 1¼m Make It Rain. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner. Likely best watched on debut. Bred for longer trips and she may want more of a test in due course.

15:35 Lingfield Stakes (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ROSA APPLAUSE confirmed the promise that she displayed on debut when winning easily at Wolverhampton in November and the daughter of Blue Point merits the utmost respect on her return to action. Dance And Romance won on her racecourse bow at Southwell recently and is clearly the main threat to the selection. The rest do not inspire a lot of confidence, but Princess Jastar is the pick of them.

ROSA APPLAUSE looked a filly to keep on side when running out an authoritative winner at Wolverhampton in November and she can overcome an absence and follow up. Dance And Romance looked a good prospect herself when successful on debut 3 weeks ago and she rates the chief threat, ahead of Princess Jastar.

Dance And Romance has the benefit of a recent outing but ROSA APPLAUSE achieved a bit more in her two runs last November.

20 2nd (20) (50/1 -257%) Killeemore Lad	50 50/1(-257%)	(20) Killeemore Lad 50/1, 10/1, good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Second at Tipperary nine days ago but that was not a strong contest, tongue-tie now..
15 3rd (15) (5/1 +64%) Nara	5 5/1(+64%)	(15) Nara 5/1, Seventh of 22 in juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, heavy, 22/1) 51 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Remains of interest. Some encouragement can be taken from seventh on handicap debut in the Boodles.
4 4th (4) (11/1 +67%) Media Naranja	11 11/1(+67%)	(4) Media Naranja 11/1, Twelfth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, heavy, 100/1) 48 days ago. Undeniable Alibi appears to be the stable No 1. Two fair efforts in soft-ground handicaps during the winter and has won on good ground.
25 5th (25) (8/1 +20%) Club Manager	8 8/1(+20%)	(25) Club Manager 8/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft, 11/1) 8 days ago, pushed out. Should progress. Won on handicap debut at Bellewstown last week, raised 9lb, this is much more competitive.
26 6th (26) (33/1 -175%) Macinamillion	33 33/1(-175%)	(26) Macinamillion 33/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy, 12/1) 31 days ago. Must improve. RESERVE. First reserve, won at Cork on his second handicap hurdle outing, 10lb higher now.
6 7th (6) (15/2 -36%) Judicieuse Allen	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(6) Judicieuse Allen 15/2, 80/1, pulled up in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 32 days ago. Was clearly out of her depth in that Grade 1 contest and better can be expected now pitched into a handicap. Limitations evident when raised in class after maiden win, may find her level in handicaps.
14 8th (14) (22/1 -38%) Answering	22 22/1(-38%)	(14) Answering 22/1, Winner in hurdle at Thurles in March. Good fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16.5f, soft, 15/2) 16 days ago. Enters calculations. Decent form in maidens, looked a bit one-paced when fourth on handicap debut at Naas.
7 9th (7) (50/1 -127%) Walhaan	50 50/1(-127%)	(7) Walhaan 50/1, Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy, 11/1) 22 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Visor back on. Fairly useful hurdler, respectable on last hurdle outing. Fit from AW, some merit in his handicap hurdle form, others have more obvious credentials.
3 \|F\| (3) (33/1 -18%) Zoffanien	33 33/1(-18%)	(3) Zoffanien 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft) 13 days ago. Third at Thurles in January, same placing at Ballinrobe recently, needs to raise his game.
24 \|F\| (24) (33/1 +18%) Timeless Piece	33 33/1(+18%)	(24) Timeless Piece 33/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Successful at Down Royal in January. Fourth of 6 in juvenile hurdle (5/4) at this course (16.1f, heavy) 94 days ago. Remains open to improvement but Undeniable Alibi is seemingly the stable first-string. Ran away with Down Royal all-aged handicap in January, next run may have come too soon.
8 10th (8) (20/1 -208%) Whiskeywealth	20 20/1(-208%)	(8) Whiskeywealth 20/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (8/1) at Aintree (15.8f, soft) 21 days ago, tying up straight. Resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark but others preferred all the same. Two wins (hurdle and chase) before Aintree reverse, remains 12lb lower than over fences.
1 11th (1) (18/1 +0%) Bowmore	18 18/1(+0%)	(1) Bowmore 18/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 5/2, good third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 137 days ago. Rachael Blackmore prefers Catena Zapata. Absent since third on his handicap debut at Thurles in December, plenty of weight here.
9 12th (9) (20/1 +50%) Sign From Above	20 20/1(+50%)	(9) Sign From Above 20/1, Winner in hurdle at Navan in September. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Gowran (20.1f, heavy) 75 days ago. A long way below his best here in February, pulled up at Gowran, better ground will help.
12 13th (12) (28/1 -155%) Ballycallan King	28 28/1(-155%)	(12) Ballycallan King 28/1, 11/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Up 9 lb for that and this is a tougher assignment. Wide-margin handicap winner at Limerick three weeks ago, 9lb rise may prove too much now.
19 14th (19) (12/1 +0%) Hands On	12 12/1(+0%)	(19) Hands On 12/1, Promising individual. One win from 2 runs last season. Won 10-runner juvenile hurdle (9/2) at Cork (16.1f, good to soft), cosily. Off 6 months ahead of this handicap debut. Mark Walsh prefers Nara but he's a live contender all the same. Beat subsequent winner Eagle Fang at Cork last autumn, has had plenty of time to mature.
2 15th (2) (5/1 +9%) Holly	5 5/1(+9%)	(2) Holly 5/1, Good second of 9 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Haydock (15.6f, good to soft) 33 days ago, finishing with running left. Another bold show likely. Ran well under a big weight in a handicap at Haydock last month, 7lb claim should help.
17 16th (17) (40/1 +0%) War Correspondent	40 40/1(+0%)	(17) War Correspondent 40/1, C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 5/1) 55 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Below form on last hurdle outing. Out of form over hurdles in the first half of this season, Dundalk winner this winter.
22 17th (22) (28/1 -100%) Clever Currency	28 28/1(-100%)	(22) Clever Currency 28/1, 10/3, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 37 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Fairly useful hurdler, good on last hurdle run. Looks competitive on form. Has run on Flat since second in an 18-runner handicap hurdle at Leopardstown.
27 18th (27) (9/1 +64%) Grappa Nonino	9 9/1(+64%)	(27) Grappa Nonino 9/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Clonmel (16.6f, good). Off 7 months. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Merits consideration. RESERVE. Second reserve, useful staying handicapper on Flat, won a juvenile maiden hurdle.
11 19th (11) (14/1 +0%) Catena Zapata	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Catena Zapata 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful 1m winner on the Flat. Below form seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 12/1) 31 days ago. Claims if on-song here. Second-season novice, beaten around 20l on handicap debut at Fairyhouse, needs to improve.
16 20th (16) (22/1 -10%) Rumi	22 22/1(-10%)	(16) Rumi 22/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Switches from Flat to hurdles (successful on the level at Gowran recently) and will need to raise his game in order to emerge on top here. Won a Flat handicap last week after a break, strong chance if this does not come too soon.
5 \|PU\| (5) (33/1 +18%) Garrybello	33 33/1(+18%)	(5) Garrybello 33/1, 11/4, creditable fourth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (12f). Switches from Flat to hurdles and looks vulnerable. Dual winner over hurdles in France in his young days, has run well on the AW at Dundalk.
21 \|PU\| (21) (66/1 -136%) The Shantou King	66 66/1(-136%)	(21) The Shantou King 66/1, Good fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Closely matched with Killeemore Lad on recent Tipperary form, this is a much deeper race.

15:40 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

UNDENIABLE ALIBI debuts in handicaps and has recent form. A point-to-point winner, he won a February maiden at Clonmel and then ran well when finishing third at Naas last month, form which was franked by the fourth-placed horse. Rumi returned from a year off the track when winning on the Flat at Gowran. His fifth-placed effort behind Irish Point in March 2023 reads very well and he's one to note. Ballycallan King won quite easily at Limerick recently but has been raised 9lb.

Despite being passed over by Mark Walsh, the unexposed HANDS ON makes plenty of appeal. Indeed, it was a decent maiden that he won at Cork in October and, provided all is well following a break, he could be about to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap. Undeniable Alibi is also open to improvement and is just about feared most ahead of British raider Holly, Nara, who is Walsh's pick, and Answering.

Edward O'Grady may have the solution to this with RUMI who made a winning reappearance on the Flat at Gowran last week

15:52 Redcar Handicap (Class 3) 10f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (5/2 +44%) Baryshnikov	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(3) Baryshnikov 5/2, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 10 days ago. Not discounted. Nearly two years since last successful and that amounts to a losing run of 18.
4 2nd (4) (13/8 +46%) Hopeful	1.625 13/8(+46%)	(4) Hopeful 13/8, Winner at Newcastle in January. 13/8, fifth of 6 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 51 days ago. Remains with potential up in trip and isn't one to be writing off. Lightly raced; should be well handicapped on her winning form and she's up in distance.
5 3rd (5) (12/1 -9%) Barley	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) Barley 12/1, 15/2, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f), not ideally placed. Off 170 days. Better than the result on final two outings last year but hard to know if he'll be tuned up for this. Both wins for another yard; lacks a run and the potential of one or two others in here.
2 4th (2) (11/2 -175%) Never Ending	5.5 11/2(-175%)	(2) Never Ending 11/2, 18 lengths eighth of 11 to Novus in Pride Stakes (22/1) at Newmarket (10f, soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Progressive prior to final outing and worth a chance to get back on the up. Twice a winner for the Gosdens and her leading owners have kept her in training.
6 5th (6) (50/1 -178%) Kalikapour	50 50/1(-178%)	(6) Kalikapour 50/1, First run since leaving M. Halford & T. Collins when last of 18 in handicap (33/1) at Doncaster (8f, heavy) 40 days ago. Back up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Hasn't progressed from his maiden win in Ireland; quiet debut for this yard; now visored.
1 6th (1) (9/2 -50%) No Surrender	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(1) No Surrender 9/2, Thrice-raced winner. 9/2, second of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f), running on. Off 7 months. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Unraced at two and progressed well last season; might well have more to offer.

15:52 Redcar Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

HOPEFUL looked a filly to keep on side when easily seeing off a subsequent winner at Newcastle in January, although she blotted her copybook over the same track and trip last time. A well-bred daughter of Make Believe, Andrew Balding's filly is intriguing on her handicap debut and stepping up in trip could bring about some improvement. Making his return after ending last season with a highly-creditable second at Kempton, No Surrender looks to be the main danger, while Never Ending is one to watch on her first start for a new yard.

NEVER ENDING was going the right way prior to an excusable final run for John & Thady Gosden and she still looks well treated, so she's worth taking a chance on debuting for another excellent stable. No Surrender set a good platform last year, so he's a danger and Hopeful is worth bearing in mind with few miles on the clock.

If forgiven her latest failure at Newcastle then HOPEFUL is appealingly handicapped on the form she showed there in January.

16:02 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (11/8 +72%) Vellner	1.375 11/8(+72%)	(2) Vellner 11/8, 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) 40 days ago. Back down in trip. Becoming well treated and can't be ruled out down in grade. Has not shown a great deal for current stable since the autumn.
3 2nd (3) (4/1 +33%) Majestic Newlaw	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Majestic Newlaw 4/1, 28/1, first run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) 23 days ago. Slightly less testing conditions should help and he's worth monitoring in the betting. Disappointed last season and struggled when reappearing for new stable last month.
5 3rd (5) (6/1 +25%) Retirement Beckons	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Retirement Beckons 6/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 18/1) 6 days ago, slowly away. Need to bounce back quickly. Shock AW winner in March but is very unreliable nowadays and was well beaten on Friday.
4 4th (4) (10/3 -356%) Headabovetherest	3.333333 10/3(-356%)	(4) Headabovetherest 10/3, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 13/2) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Lightly raced for current stable and worth a chance to go one better. Showed the benefit of a wind op when second over 7f last month; back up in trip here.
6 5th (6) (50/1 -317%) Penelope's Sister	50 50/1(-317%)	(6) Penelope's Sister 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in minor event at this course (7.2f, good, 300/1). Off 19 months. Makes handicap debut. Hard to make a case for. Showed no significant promise in three 2yo novice/maiden races; back from long absence.
1 6th (1) (11/1 +8%) Farhhfromforgotten	11 11/1(+8%)	(1) Farhhfromforgotten 11/1, 66/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 10 days ago. Has plenty to prove at present. Well beaten on both starts for this stable and now 0-8 overall.

16:02 Ayr Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HEADABOVETHEREST got better the further he went over 7f at Newcastle 16 days ago and was only outdone by one who got first run on the day. That was promising given it was his first run since having a wind operation and, with this longer trip a key factor, the Rebecca Menzies-trained four-year-old shades the vote. Farhhfromforgotten is feared on just his third run for current connections, while Vellner also appeals off an attractive mark.

HEADABOVETHEREST has made a positive start for Rebecca Menzies and, after finding one too good at Newcastle last time, he's capable of going one better in a thin race. Vellner is a danger dropping in grade and Retirement Beckons can't be dismissed.

With the others all arriving with serious questions to answer, recent Newcastle runner-up HEADABOVETHEREST makes strong appeal.

16:10 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (5/2 -11%) Cinque Verde	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(1) Cinque Verde 5/2, Completed hat-trick when winning at Southwell in March and, having her first try at 7f, continued in good form when fourth of 13 in handicap here next time. Below that level back on turf since but better can be expected returned to this surface. Be happier back round here if Monday's effort off her 8lb lower turf mark is overlooked.
2 2nd (2) (2/1 -33%) Crimson Angel	2 2/1(-33%)	(2) Crimson Angel 2/1, Course winner who not for the first time shaped better than the bare result when fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 31 days ago, forced to switch over 1f out and keeping on final 1f. Worth considering from this sort of mark. Excuses latest; an easy 6f is fine and she's shortlisted back under Oliver Timms.
3 3rd (3) (5/2 +17%) Jungle Charm	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(3) Jungle Charm 5/2, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win here in April. 17/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 2 days ago. C&D winner who was turned over next time and was well held at Catterick on Tuesday.
4 4th (4) (11/1 -57%) Another Thought	11 11/1(-57%)	(4) Another Thought 11/1, Improved on debut effort when taking 3-runner C&D novice last summer. Absent since finishing fourth of 5 on handicap debut at Salisbury 10 months ago but yard have been amongst the winners so interesting if the market spoke in her favour. Absent since buzzed up when last seen; interesting to see how she goes in the market.
5 5th (5) (10/1 +55%) Violets Star	10 10/1(+55%)	(5) Violets Star 10/1, Made third start as a 3-y-o a winning one at Ffos Las (6f, soft) back in August but hasn't fired in pair of turf handicaps so far this spring. Makes AW debut now but best watched until showing more positive signs. Two poor efforts this spring leave her with plenty to prove on her AW debut.

16:10 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

CRIMSON ANGEL has not been beaten far on either start so far this year and the step back up to 6f could help Clive Cox's filly to earn her third career victory. Another Thought failed to fire on her final start as a juvenile but is a player based on her previous performances, while Cinque Verde edges out Violets Star to be best of the rest.

Course-winner CRIMSON ANGEL has shaped well twice since the turn of the year, including with a view to stepping back up to this trip when fourth at Wolverhampton 31 days ago, and Clive Cox's filly appeals as being on an exploitable mark. Jungle Charm, below par at Catterick 2 days ago, is feared on the pick of her form, whilst the return to AW will see Cinque Verde in a much better light.

Cinque Verde will be happier back round here but CRIMSON ANGEL looks the way to go, back up to 6f and with 7lb coming off.

16:15 Punchestown Handicap Chase 16f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
12 1st (12) (15/2 +12%) Pinkerton	7.5 15/2(+12%)	(12) Pinkerton 15/2, Useful winner over hurdles who got off the mark at fourth attempt in this sphere when taking 13-runner novice at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) 9 days ago, driven out. Fairly treated, on switch to handicapping, and must enter calculations. Recent winning favourite at Tipperary, goes into handicap company 4lb below hurdles mark.
1 2nd (1) (9/1 +36%) Saint Roi	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Saint Roi 9/1, Ran right up to best when second of 15 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, soft) 21 days ago, clear of remainder. Yard continues in fine form and another bold show is likely. Second in the Red Rum at Aintree reversing Grand Annual form with Path D'oroux, place hope.
5 3rd (5) (11/1 -10%) Enniskerry	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Enniskerry 11/1, 7/1, respectable seventh of 22 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Down in trip. Not out of things. Did not get home on the uphill run in the Galway Plate; 7-1 then so could be fancied here.
4 4th (4) (16/1 -45%) Solness	16 16/1(-45%)	(4) Solness 16/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (15.9f, heavy, 12/1) 50 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Down the field in the Grand Annual (Path D'oroux third), new headgear combination..
7 5th (7) (17/2 +29%) Path D'oroux	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(7) Path D'oroux 17/2, Yet to score over fences but has acquitted himself well in valuable handicaps over this sort of trip in recent months, making the frame at Leopardstown, Cheltenham and Aintree. Likely to be on the premises again. Third in the Grand Annual, and third again in the Red Rum at Aintree, merits respect.
17 6th (17) (33/1 -65%) Pats Choice	33 33/1(-65%)	(17) Pats Choice 33/1, Below form well-beaten fifth of 9 to Captains Nephew in handicap chase (10/1) at Fairyhouse (16.7f, heavy) 32 days ago. Stable in good form. Back to a potentially lenient mark. Has been found wanting since Naas win in January, this mark gives him a fair chance.
8 7th (8) (5/1 +58%) Mighty Tom	5 5/1(+58%)	(8) Mighty Tom 5/1, Not really built on encouraging Cork chase debut in 2 subsequents starts but goes well fresh and booking of Jack Kennedy catches the eye. Interesting contender. Has run with credit in Graded novice events, could slot into handicaps effectively.
16 8th (16) (11/1 +8%) Gua Du Large	11 11/1(+8%)	(16) Gua Du Large 11/1, Useful winner over hurdles who belatedly confirmed initial promise over fences when winning 4-runner novice at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago. More on plate here but he may be capable of better yet. Snug winner at Tramore 11 days ago, noteworthy that Rachael Blackmore sticks with him.
18 9th (18) (66/1 -32%) The Dasher Conway	66 66/1(-32%)	(18) The Dasher Conway 66/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft, 12/1) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Hard to recommend. Always at the back in a recent handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe, up against it here.
10 10th (10) (50/1 -127%) Figaroc	50 50/1(-127%)	(10) Figaroc 50/1, Best effort over fences when third in listed handicap at Gowran (16f) in March but failed to meet expectations twice since. Remote third behind Captains Nephew at Fairyhouse, disappointing at Perth last week.
14 11th (14) (20/1 -43%) The Folkes Tiara	20 20/1(-43%)	(14) The Folkes Tiara 20/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season, latest at Leopardstown in December. Not been in same form either start since, however. Won at Leopardstown at Christmas, struggled in the Grand Annual after an early mistake.
6 12th (6) (80/1 -186%) Rebel Gold	80 80/1(-186%)	(6) Rebel Gold 80/1, 34 lengths fourth of 6 to Journey With Me in Fairyhouse Chase (50/1) at Fairyhouse (19.7f, heavy) 31 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Veteran is dropped in class after Grade 2 Fairyhouse run, younger rivals preferred.
13 13th (13) (50/1 -100%) Aslukwoodhavit	50 50/1(-100%)	(13) Aslukwoodhavit 50/1, Course winner. One win from 3 runs last season. 12/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 75 days ago, tailed off when pulled up approaching last. Difficult ask. Made mistakes and pulled up when tried over 2m4f at Gowran in his first handicap.
3 14th (3) (22/1 -22%) Uncle Phil	22 22/1(-22%)	(3) Uncle Phil 22/1, Three wins from 7 runs last season. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in January. Fifth of 6 in handicap chase (9/2) at Ayr (16.5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others preferred. Won competitive 2m1f handicap at Fairyhouse in January, Blood Destiny yard's best hope.
2 \|PU\| (2) (15/8 +53%) Blood Destiny	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(2) Blood Destiny 15/8, Smart hurdler who resumed his progress over fences with victory in the Flyingbolt at Navan (16f) in March. Not seen to best effect at Fairyhouse over longer trip since and remains with potential on handicap bow. Strong form linked to Grade 1 winner Spillane's Tower, appeals as stable's best chance.
15 \|PU\| (15) (28/1 +0%) Typical Thomas	28 28/1(+0%)	(15) Typical Thomas 28/1, Latest win in chase at Cork in October. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, soft, 22/1) 89 days ago. Others have achieved more. Out of the money in a pair of Leopardstown handicaps hurdles since a Cork chase win.
9 \|PU\| (9) (33/1 -106%) Senecia	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Senecia 33/1, 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, pulled up in Ten Up Novices' Chase at Navan (24f, heavy) 81 days ago won by American Mike, beaten when pulled up before 2 out. Work to do on handicap chase debut. Ambitiously campaigned on unsuitable winter ground, worth considering on a better surface.

16:15 Punchestown Handicap Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

In common with many high-class novices, BLOOD DESTINY is well respected on his handicap debut. His chase form is consistently strong and, although just a five-year-old, he has sufficient experience to tackle a big-field handicap like this. Path D'oroux has competed at every big festival since early December and, having performed well in similar valuable handicaps on each of his last four runs, he should again be competitive under a 5lb claimer. Former County Hurdle winner Saint Roi hasn't won since a Grade 1 success in December 2022 but did go well at Aintree latest.

Preference is for MIGHTY TOM, who ran a cracker over hurdles at this meeting last year and looks nicely treated on switch to handicapping in this sphere. Saint Roi and Blood Destiny look the pick of Willie Mullins quartet and are feared most, whilst Pinkerton is also much respected.

Tuesday's Grade 1 win for Spillane's Tower has significantly strengthened the case in favour of BLOOD DESTINY in his first handicap

1 2nd (1) (4/5 -100%) Chiefman	0.8 4/5(-100%)	(1) Chiefman 4/5, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Newcastle in March. 13/8, second of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 28 days ago. Likely he will prove hard to beat. Won comfortably on handicap debut and bumped into an improver at Lingfield.
3 3rd (3) (15/8 +44%) Between Me And U	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(3) Between Me And U 15/8, 20/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Reproduction of peak 2-y-o form would give him a chance. Nursery winner on good to soft; quiet in three runs for his current yard.

16:27 Redcar Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner at Newcastle on his penultimate outing and a respectable second since, CHIEFMAN sets the standard and soft ground shouldn't be an issue for this son of Cracksman. Between Me And U hasn't set the world alight since joining Alice Haynes but remains a capable sort on his day and he looks a bigger threat to the selection than Kaaress.

It's hard to look beyond CHIEFMAN, who did the job well on his handicap debut in March prior to bumping into a progressive type at Lingfield. He could have more to offer back on turf. Between Me And U is nominated as the likely main danger.

The solid play is CHIEFMAN. He seemed to handle soft ground last season and this campaign has started well.

Respected. Began this season in very good form on AW; off since poor run 101 days ago; still a player.
1 2nd (1) (11/8 +54%) Animato	1.375 11/8(+54%)	(1) Animato 11/8, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, below form third of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 6 days ago. Return to longer trip should suit and he's attractively handicapped on old form. Made the frame on both outings last month and this return to good ground will suit.
3 3rd (3) (11/8 +0%) Tafsir	1.375 11/8(+0%)	(3) Tafsir 11/8, 2/1, good second of 7 in handicap at this course (13.1f, good to soft) 3 days ago. Sets the standard on that effort if coping with the quick turnaround. Clear second over 1m5f here on Monday and will be fine over today's longer trip.
2 4th (2) (16/1 -78%) Adrian	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) Adrian 16/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Bath (10.2f, heavy) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others preferred. Group 3 winner in Germany in 2021 but lightly raced and very disappointing since.

16:35 Ayr Handicap (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

ANIMATO performed creditably to finish third over 1m4f at Doncaster last Friday, despite suffering interference at the start. This longer distance could be a good move on the back of that encouraging effort and the David O'Meara-trained gelding appeals most. Tafsir also turns out quickly after Monday's near miss over 1m5f here and is a must for consideration off the same mark. Show No Fear completes the shortlist.

TAFSIR stepped up on her reappearance when runner-up here on Monday and Jim Goldie's mare looks up to going one better if able to repeat that effort. Animato shaped well at Chelmsford on his penultimate outing and also has to be respected stepped back up in trip, with Yakhabar preferred of the remaining trio.

Preference is for ANIMATO, who returned to turf with a good effort on slower-than-ideal ground at Doncaster on Friday.

10 9th (10) (28/1 -300%) On The Nose	28 28/1(-300%)	(10) On The Nose 28/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 7-runner handicap (40/1) at Brighton (8f, good) 2 days ago. Back up in trip.

16:40 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Despite 20 races and three wins on the all-weather, this will be the first time that STRATEGIC FORTUNE has raced here. That said, his trainer won this contest 12 months ago and the son of Power has won off this mark before, so he could well have a big say in the finish. Platinum Prince would be the obvious danger after a neck second at Chelmsford off 1lb lower last month, leaving the returning Magical Dragon as a tentative suggestion for third.

This looks wide open but EDMUND IRONSIDE can boast a course win and has fallen to a handy-looking mark so gets a tentative vote at the chief expense of recent Brighton scorer On The Nose. Certain Style, Strategic Fortune and Platinum Prince all command respect too.

A weak contest where the suggestion is PLATINUM PRINCE, who can go one better than his revived effort last time now back here.

16:50 Punchestown Conditions Chase 33f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

COKO BEACH was beaten 34 lengths in the Grand National but had previously won on this cross country course in February. Suited by soft ground and a dour stayer, he can put last month's Aintree experience to good use. A 15-year-old won this race in 2022 although last year's winner Vital Island, now aged 12, was pulled up behind the selection in that February contest and needs more. The in-form Birchdale defeated Vital Island when winning here in November and is another to bear in mind.

COKO BEACH can have his latest effort in the Grand National ignored and he was impressive on this Cross Country course the time before, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways with the others all having something to find. Stumptown is the clear danger on on form if he takes to this discipline and his stablemate Fameaftertheglory is no forlorn hope.

This looks tailor-made for high-class handicapper COKO BEACH who won over the shorter version of this course in February

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/4 -20%) Supreme King	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(2) Supreme King 9/4, Winner at Kempton in March but a below-par fourth of 7 in handicap there (6f, evens) 50 days ago. Sort to bounce back so needs considering. Kempton winner (6f, Class 5, 11-4 favourite) in March; beaten favourite next time; player..
1 2nd (1) (4/1 -45%) King's Crown	4 4/1(-45%)	(1) King's Crown 4/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022 but he shaped encouragingly on his first run since leaving Adrian Nicholls when ninth of 13 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, fading only last 1f after a 6-month absence. Weighted to go well with that run under his belt. Ran better than finishing position (ninth) suggests on recent stable debut; easing mark..
5 3rd (5) (17/2 +6%) So Grateful	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(5) So Grateful 17/2, 11/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f). Off 146 days. Back up in trip with more required. Close to last winning mark returning fresh from a break; soft to heavy ground is the risk..
7 4th (7) (6/1 +70%) Tipp Town	6 6/1(+70%)	(7) Tipp Town 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 33/1). Off 10 months but yard is going well so no surprise to see him get back on track. Eyecatcher on Ayr debut (fifth) in September 2022; badly lost his way since; best watched..
6 5th (6) (16/1 -129%) Hurt You Never	16 16/1(-129%)	(6) Hurt You Never 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in January. 7/2, last of 4 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Pacy mare; made all at Newcastle (5f; 33-1) in January; poor effort latest; soft ground?.
4 6th (4) (13/2 +13%) High Velocity	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(4) High Velocity 13/2, 18/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. No win since August 2022 (AW); mixed messages sinces joining this trainer; cheekpieces on..

17:05 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote goes to BLAZING SON, who didn't show much last time out at Thirsk but is better judged on his previous efforts on the all-weather this year. With his only victory on turf coming on heavy ground and given he produced a strong runner-up effort over C&D last August, Bryan Smart's charge is narrowly preferred to Supreme King, who scored comfortably at Kempton on his penultimate outing. King's Crown is capable of being in the mix as well.

KING'S CROWN went with some promise on his first outing for Michael Dods when a recent ninth at Thirsk and can build on it to capitalise on a reduced mark. Supreme King is feared most if back on song after fluffing his lines at Kempton last time out, with the returning Tipp Town not ruled out either for a yard among the winners.

The suggestion is SUPREME KING, who handles soft ground and possibly found the race coming too soon when a beaten favourite at Kempton.

8 2nd (8) (9/1 +0%) Bbob Alula	9 9/1(+0%)	(8) Bbob Alula 9/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good) 12 days ago. One for the shortlist. Losing run at 15 starts but showed here last October that he can be competitive.
1 3rd (1) (7/2 +13%) Come On John	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Come On John 7/2, Arrives in good nick, fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Expected to be bang there off a falling mark. Thereabouts on his last two starts; 1lb drop to help and should be heavily involved.
4 4th (4) (9/4 +50%) Sunset In Paris	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(4) Sunset In Paris 9/4, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable fourth of 12 to Chourmo in handicap (7/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good) 12 days ago. In the mix once more. Respectable effort behind Chourmo latest and if he can do the same again he's a player.
9 5th (9) (16/1 +0%) Red Hot Rose	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Red Hot Rose 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 12 to Chourmo in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 66/1) 12 days ago. Possibilities. Unplaced in five starts, including over this trip on turf on her handicap debut latest.
5 6th (5) (20/1 -43%) The Game Is Up	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) The Game Is Up 20/1, Course winner. Winner here in February. 33/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 12 days ago.

17:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SUNSET IN PARIS failed in his hat-trick bid when a well-beaten fourth at Brighton last month, but a return to the all-weather may see him get back to winning ways. Come On John looks the biggest danger after his Chelmsford fourth, while Forever Proud isn't one to ignore if bouncing back to the form of his success here in February.

COME ON JOHN rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to gain a deserved victory in a tightly-knit handicap. C&D winner Sunset In Paris rates a big threat however, while Bbob Alula, Chourmo and Gilbert all need factoring in too.

The suggestion is SUNSET IN PARIS, who returns here in good order and if able to hold that form, should be a big player.

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

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

GAELIC WARRIOR gained his first Cheltenham win in March and is a standout performer who is ideally suited by conditions. Everything went right for him at Cheltenham as he completely left behind his Leopardstown no-show, and he has twice comfortably defeated Il Etait Temps, form which he should confirm here. Il Etait Temps was himself a fine winner at the top level at Aintree 21 days ago and cannot be completely overlooked. Hercule Du Seuil received a minor bump at the start at Aintree last month but was well held and looks most likely to finish third.

A Willie Mullins benefit in this novice once again and GAELIC WARRIOR can give the Champion Trainer a ninth straight victory in this Grade 1. He was impressive when winning the Arkle and will take all the beating. Il Etait Temps and Hercule du Seuil should complete a 1-2-3 for the stable with clear rounds.

A stunning winner of the Arkle, GAELIC WARRIOR can again prove too strong for stablemate Il Etait Temps

17:40 Doncaster Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Karl Burke won this last year with subsequent Group 3 winner Elite Status, and he could have another smart two-year-old on his hands with ARABIE. Related to a whole host of smart winners, the son of Dandy Man showed up well for a long way on debut at Thirsk, before a more experienced sort got the better of him late on. With normal improvement expected, he can see off the likes of creditable Windsor fourth Off The Bench and newcomer Studious.

Given how green he was in the preliminaries, it was all the more encouraging that ARABIE could shape so well when runner-up on debut at Thirsk 23 days ago, giving best only late on to one boasting experience. Very much the type to improve, he can make it second time lucky. East Tyrone and Sonic Blue are a couple of newcomers to note.

Karl Burke's ARABIE produced a solid effort (second) on debut at Thirsk, so has hopefully found a suitable contest in which to strike.

7 3rd (7) (7/1 -17%) Panthera	7 7/1(-17%)	(7) Panthera 7/1, Promising type from a decent family. 33/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good to soft) on debut 13 days ago, green. Likely to improve. Some ability on her Newbury debut two weeks ago but she needs plenty of improvement here.
1 4th (1) (1/4 +14%) Lautrec	0.25 1/4(+14%)	(1) Lautrec 1/4, 600,000 gns Kingman colt. Closely related to 2000 Guineas winner Magna Grecia and half-brother to top-class dual-Classic winner St Mark's Basilica. Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Newcastle (8f, 6/4) in November, knuckling down well. Superbly-bred Dante entry and sure to progress. Cost 600,000gns; won Newcastle debut and he sets good standard under penalty; hard to beat.
3 5th (3) (200/1 -100%) Leon Trotsky	200 200/1(-100%)	(3) Leon Trotsky 200/1, 150/1, tenth of 11 at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago. Tailed off at a massive price on Yarmouth debut 19 days ago; can only be watched.

5 7th (5) (200/1 -100%) Barafundle Bay	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Barafundle Bay 200/1, Dartmouth filly. Dam, French 2-y-o 1m winner, half-sister to useful 5f-1½m winner Torrid Hell and winner up to 2m Royal Menantie. Debutante by Dartmouth; yard 1-36 in novice events in recent years and is best watched.
2 8th (2) (250/1 -150%) Amigo Star	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Amigo Star 250/1, Mr Boycie Quest colt. Dam pulled up sole start over hurdles. No appeal on paper starting out in this company. This looks a tough starting point and he's probably a longer-term prospect.

17:50 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

All eyes will be on LAUTREC as he makes his return following a winning start at Newcastle in November. The son of Kingman boasts some top-class relatives, including 2,000 Guineas hero Magna Grecia and St Mark's Basilica, and victory here may well tee him up for a visit to the Knavesmire, where he holds a Dante entry. Niigata cost 85,000gns and is respected given his connections, while Candle Of Dubai, a half-sister to useful stayer Sleeping Lion, is another newcomer of interest.

Hard to see beyond the superbly-bred LAUTREC and this looks a great opportunity for him to make it 2-2. Newcomer Niigata might be the danger ahead of Panthera.

This can go to LAUTREC, who won on his Newcastle debut in November and is open to plenty of progress upped in trip on his return.

Creditable 4¼ lengths second of 10 to Strong Leader in Liverpool Hurdle (15/2) at Aintree (24.7f, good to soft) 19 days ago.

10 7th (10) (9/1 +64%) Lantry Lady	9 9/1(+64%)	(10) Lantry Lady 9/1, From family of Annie Power and has made a very promising start to her career, winning twice at Gowran (Grade 2 latterly) before acquitting herself really well on only third start when 12½ lengths fourth of 11 to Lossiemouth in Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham (2½m, heavy) 51 days ago. 3m should suit.

Third in this last year and each-way claims again. Cheltenham fifth comes here fresher than most and no surprise should he play a big hand.

18:00 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There is rain forecast for Punchestown on Thursday, but Teahupoo would really need plenty. As this season's Stayers' Hurdle winner at Cheltenham, he is the one to beat but is swerved at a short price on forecast ground that doesn't ideally suit him. HOME BY THE LEE was unable to get on terms with Teahupoo when third at Cheltenham, but has a shot at getting closer on this ground. He has been lightly raced and could come to the boil here. Sire Du Berlais has a decent record on better ground and was third in this race last year.

TEAHUPOO had a few of these in behind him in the Stayers' at Cheltenham last month and can underline he's the class act in this division at present by following up here. Cheltenham third Home By The Lee might be the one to chase him home ahead of the selection's stablemate Sire du Berlais, who was third in this 12 months ago.

After his victory at Cheltenham, TEAHUPOO has clearly established himself as the best staying hurdler around and should win this

18:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

LITTLE ROSE has been a work in progress for the William Haggas stable, but she looked to have got the hang of things when scoring with consummate ease at Beverley last week. A 6lb penalty for that success will make life tougher, but she seems more than capable of making up almost three lengths with the reopposing Solar Bentley (second) from their clash at Wolverhampton in March. Another to note is Surrey Force, who could be a different proposition tackling handicaps for the first time.

It all came together for LITTLE ROSE at Beverley last week and a 6 lb penalty is unlikely to stop her going in again if showing up in similar form. Wolverhampton runner-up Solar Bentley can follow her home ahead of Surrey Force, a potential improver in handicaps for the Kevin Philippart de Foy stable.

Under 6lb extra, the logical selection is last week's easy Beverley winner LITTLE ROSE. Richard Fahey's Solar Bentley is next best.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (9/4 +36%) Nikovo	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(1) Nikovo 9/4, First run since leaving Archie Watson when winning a 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 45 days ago, readily. 5 lb rise fair enough and this 5-y-o is greatly respected. Back on track after wind surgery, with smooth win on stable debut at Newcastle; respected.
7 2nd (7) (11/2 +8%) Red Hat Eagle	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(7) Red Hat Eagle 11/2, Latest win at Lingfield in October. 5/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen in November. Can make his presence felt, provided he's ready to roll following a break. Two AW wins in the autumn but this is competitive on his return and he needs more progress.
5 3rd (5) (11/2 +21%) Boasty	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(5) Boasty 11/2, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Good second of 10 in handicap back here (10f, 9/1) 7 days ago. Each-way shout. Went very close off the same mark here (1m2f) last week and he's respected back in trip.
9 4th (9) (14/1 -320%) Egoiste	14 14/1(-320%)	(9) Egoiste 14/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year.

Hat-trick seeker who won by 4l at Wolverhampton last time; up 8lb but he's respected.

6 7th (6) (13/2 -8%) Wadacre Grace	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(6) Wadacre Grace 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in February. Creditable second of 7 in handicap (11/4) at Kempton (8f) 17 days ago. Couldn't rule out. Six-time AW winner who went close at Kempton last time and is only 1lb higher here.
8 8th (8) (8/1 +43%) David's Diva	8 8/1(+43%)	(8) David's Diva 8/1, Two wins from 4 runs this year. Fifth of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 43 days ago.

18:25 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

EGOISTE has improved considerably over the past few months by stringing together a consistent level of form and the five-year-old arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories, having won twice at Wolverhampton in March. He beat the same rival on each occasion and produced a career-best display when scoring comfortably on the most recent of those outings, so an 8lb rise may not be enough to halt him. Wadacre Grace, Smart Deal and Red Hat Eagle are others likely to enter the reckoning.

The most appealing of these is NIKOVO, who made a winning start for this yard in good style at Newcastle and a 5 lb rise is unlikely to stop him in his tracks. Wadacre Grace is proving consistent and is next on the list ahead of Red Hat Eagle and the hat-trick seeking Egoiste.

The hat-trick seeking Egoiste is strongly respected but slight preference is for last-time-out Newcastle winner NIKOVO.

Yard in good form. Big player. Up 8lb for Fairyhouse but on the upgrade and unlikely to be too far away.
25 \|PU\| (25) (10/1 +50%) Hands Of Gold	10 10/1(+50%)	(25) Hands Of Gold 10/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, heavy, 22/1) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Must improve. Did not run badly back over flights at Cork last time; step up in trip will suit.
12 \|PU\| (12) (18/1 -13%) Della Casa Lunga	18 18/1(-13%)	(12) Della Casa Lunga 18/1, Two wins from 6 runs last season. Career best when easily winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, heavy, 2/1) 63 days ago. In the picture. On a hat-trick mission here after winning two mares handicaps at Ludlow; could go well.
4 \|PU\| (4) (125/1 -25%) Finest Evermore	125 125/1(-25%)	(4) Finest Evermore 125/1, First run since leaving Willie Mullins when fifteenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, heavy, 80/1) 50 days ago. Lots more is needed. Never a factor after 19 months off on her stable debut in the Coral Cup; best watched.

18:35 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAPTAIN CODY is up in trip and would welcome rain, but his class could see him through for Willie Mullins. He was a decisive winner of a Grade 2 novice hurdle over 2m4f at Fairyhouse at the end of March which bodes well for this assignment. Maxxum wasn't quite done with when falling after two out in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse latest and has his chance with Carl Millar taking 7lb off his back. Captain Cody's stablemate O'Moore Park could respond well to the first-time hood, while Coming Up Easy hacked up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick and lurks towards the bottom of the weights for Henry de Bromhead.

LUCKY LYREEN's form is on an upward curve so Gordon Elliott's hat-trick seeker looks the way to go. The Willie Mullins-trained duo O'Moore Park and Captain Cody both look to have better days ahead of them too and could emerge as the chief threats, although the likes of Kinturk Kalanisi, Will Do and Coming Up Easy also need factoring into this highly competitive handicap.

It will take a good one to lower the colours of CAPTAIN CODY after a decisive success in graded company at Fairyhouse

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (8/13 +86%) Iron Lion	0.615385 8/13(+86%)	(3) Iron Lion 8/13, Course winner. 13/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Shortlist material. His win came on soft and he ran well at Southwell on his return last month; respected.
5 2nd (5) (14/1 +0%) It's All About You	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) It's All About You 14/1, Last of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (11f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton. Something to prove. Well held in all four handicaps and has something to prove on return for new yard.
2 3rd (2) (2/1 +27%) Incremental	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Incremental 2/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 6/5) 23 days ago, disappointing having been well backed. Makes turf debut. Hood on 1st time. Looked promising last year and may well get back on track. Still unexposed and he could kick on again with hood added on turf debut.
7 4th (7) (14/1 +30%) Highland Frolic	14 14/1(+30%)	(7) Highland Frolic 14/1, 11/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (21.4f, soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Milton Harris. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Overall record of 1-18 and this looks tough back on the Flat on his return; opposable.
4 5th (4) (40/1 -21%) Nova Legend	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Nova Legend 40/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 125/1) 68 days ago. Back from a long absence with two heavy defeats for new yard this year; lots to prove.

18:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ISLE OF SARK posted another creditable effort in defeat when a close-up third over 1m2f at Chelmsford last week. The combination of a switch to turf and a return to 1m4f shouldn't inconvenience the six-year-old and a belated second career victory could be in the offing. A first-time hood could settle the keen-going Incremental, who is feared most, while the in-form Fleur De Mer is also likely to be in the mix.

FLEUR DE MER has been in excellent form this year and showed a willing attitude when second at Thirsk 12 days ago, so she gets the marginal vote ahead of Isle of Sark, who has also been knocking on the door lately. Incremental is another one to consider despite an underwhelming reappearance.

The vote goes to FLEUR DE MER, who was runner-up on soft at Thirsk 12 days ago and is only 1lb higher on this drop back in grade.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 14f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (13/8 -8%) Socialist Agenda	1.625 13/8(-8%)	(4) Socialist Agenda 13/8, Visor on for 1st time in this code, improved to win 7-runner handicap (13/8) at Southwell (16.5f) 23 days ago, comfortably. More on his plate up 4 lb in a more competitive race but recent winning form is at a premium here, so he's shortlisted. Smooth win at Southwell last time and a 4lb rise looks fair; big player again back in trip.
2 2nd (2) (4/1 +20%) Merry Minister	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Merry Minister 4/1, Latest win at Lingfield in February. Third of 5 in handicap at this course (16f, 10/3) 21 days ago. Solid each-way chance. Won at Lingfield (2m) in February but well held in both runs since; needs to find more.
5 3rd (5) (7/2 +13%) Pfingstberg	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Pfingstberg 7/2, Promising sort. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (9/2) at Thirsk (12f, soft) when last seen in September. Perhaps this step up in trip will help unlock some improvement and, if so, he could have a big part to play. 0-8 but he looks interesting at this new trip and needs watching in market on return.
11 4th (11) (66/1 -32%) Miss Tiki	66 66/1(-32%)	(11) Miss Tiki 66/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 33/1, last of 12 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Just one win from 19 starts and she's struggled in both runs for new yard; lots to prove.
6 5th (6) (16/1 +0%) Central City	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Central City 16/1, Course winner. 10/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f). Off 112 days and he's likely to find a few of these too strong. Last win was in 2022 and was in rear in three runs for new yard this winter; opposable.
1 6th (1) (40/1 -100%) Be Fair	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Be Fair 40/1, 50/1, first run since leaving Tony Carroll when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 22 days ago. Likely he needed that following 13 months off but others make more appeal here all the same. In good form last winter but he struggled on his comeback last month; something to prove.
7 7th (7) (9/1 -64%) Foinix	9 9/1(-64%)	(7) Foinix 9/1, Course winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. Respectable 6¼ lengths third of 7 to Socialist Agenda in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 5/1) 23 days ago. Will be a threat if the first-time blinkers have the desired effect. Record of 1-21 and he's been well held last twice; new headgear is now tried back in trip.
9 8th (9) (40/1 +0%) Persian Wolf	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Persian Wolf 40/1, Course winner. Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 40/1) 20 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Up in trip and visor back on. Has generally struggled since November and he's untried at this trip; opposable.
10 9th (10) (10/1 +60%) Qeyaady	10 10/1(+60%)	(10) Qeyaady 10/1, Twenty-one runs since sole win back in 2021. Tenth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Brighton (9.9f, good) 12 days ago, missing break. Significantly up in trip and needs to get back on track. Sole win was in 2021 and he's been out of sorts under both codes in last three runs.
8 10th (8) (16/1 -33%) Henry The Fifth	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Henry The Fifth 16/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Fourth of 11 in handicap (100/1) at Southwell (14.1f) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Fair effort on his 1m6f comeback last month but a strike-rate of 1-29 is off-putting.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

PFINGSTBERG showed promise on a number of occasions last season without getting his head in front and the four-year-old, who disappointed on his final start at Thirsk in September, could have more to offer stepping up in trip. Socialist Agenda went up 4lb for his Southwell victory last month and is respected along with the third from that contest, Foinix, who may get closer to that rival in first-time blinkers. Merry Minister's recent third here also gives him valid claims.

PFINGSTBERG was below par on his final start of 2023 but he otherwise didn't do a great deal wrong in several handicaps at around 1½m and shapes as though this stiffer test will be right up his street. David Simcock's charge is taken to deservedly open his account, perhaps at the chief expense of Foinix, who was behind Socialist Agenda at Southwell last time but enjoys a handy pull at the weights with that rival. Merry Minister is also likely to be on the premises.

Most of these have something to prove but SOCIALIST AGENDA scored in smooth style at Southwell and can follow up off 4lb higher here.

19:05 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
13 1st (13) (4/1 +78%) Casa No Mento	4 4/1(+78%)	(13) Casa No Mento 4/1, 10/11, capitalised on the drop in grade to make it 3-4 over hurdles in 8-runner novice at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago, soon clear. This obviously tougher, but this English raider is worth her place in this company. Does not want it too soft and capable of better, but will need to if she is to play a hand.
5 2nd (5) (5/1 +9%) Got Glory	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Got Glory 5/1, Won sole start in France and having been pitched in much too deep for her hurdling debut 12 months ago, had plenty in hand when justifying strong support in 19-runner maiden hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Expected to take another big step forward. Naas winner; more needed but looks like she could be open to consideravle improvement.
9 3rd (9) (6/1 +63%) Only By Night	6 6/1(+63%)	(9) Only By Night 6/1, 25/1, again ran below form when 29¼ lengths seventh of 17 to Jade De Grugy in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 32 days ago. More needed. Not up to Grade 1 level at Fairyhouse but did not run badly and this looks more suitable.
2 4th (2) (16/1 +0%) Me Wee Bonnie Lass	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Me Wee Bonnie Lass 16/1, Promising individual. Notched her third career success in 7-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) 8 days ago, staying on the lead run-in and scoring a shade cosily. Likely to progress further. Earned her ticket with a decisive success at Bellewstown last week; one for the shortlist.
11 5th (11) (7/4 -230%) Spindleberry	1.75 7/4(-230%)	(11) Spindleberry 7/4, Made a winning hurdling debut at Fairyhouse in January and coped admirably with the marked step up in grade when 2¼ lengths second of 17 to Jade De Grugy in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final there (20f, heavy) 32 days ago. Could take some stopping. Travels well so the drop in trip is unlikely to be an issue; very much the one to beat.
7 6th (7) (28/1 +0%) Kilbarry Saint	28 28/1(+0%)	(7) Kilbarry Saint 28/1, Opened her account at Clonmel in February and ran a cracker upped in grade when 4½ lengths second of 8 to Mirazur West in Hardy Eustace Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 32 days ago. On the upgrade recently. Clonmel winner stepped up on that when second in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse; should go well.
10 7th (10) (33/1 +50%) Paggane	33 33/1(+50%)	(10) Paggane 33/1, Course winner in February. Out of depth when pulled up in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Found Grade 1 company too daunting at Fairyhouse; cheekpieces tried but others more likely.
8 8th (8) (25/1 -14%) Mayor's Walk	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Mayor's Walk 25/1, Made a winning hurdling debut at Listowel in September. Pulled up in listed hurdle at this course (19.2f, heavy, 14/1) 5 months ago won by Jetara, in touch when bad mistake 2 out. Remains with potential. Lost all chance when making a bad mistake two out here in December; could contend.
12 9th (12) (18/1 +28%) Theatre Native	18 18/1(+28%)	(12) Theatre Native 18/1, Pulled up twice over hurdles either side of getting off the mark in maiden at Fairyhouse in February. Headgear discarded and it's tough to see her involved at this level. Easily won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle but pulled up in both runs either side; has ability.
4 \|B\| (4) (18/1 +45%) Mollys Mango	18 18/1(+45%)	(4) Mollys Mango 18/1, Bumper winner who made a successful start to her hurdle career in 2m maiden at Thurles in November and quickly back on track when making the most of a simple task at Fairyhouse (17.2f) in January. Touch disappointing on first start for new trainer at Cheltenham, however, so must bounce back. Unplaced on her stable debut in the mares novice hurdle at Cheltenham; others preferred.
1 \|U\| (1) (16/1 -14%) Implicit	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Implicit 16/1, Made it third time lucky when scoring at Clonmel in January and improved plenty more when following up in 18-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 31 days ago, rallying well after losing momentum last. Likely to progress further. Won a novice handicap at Fairyhouse; more to come from her but this is a big step up.
6 10th (6) (66/1 -65%) Iris Emery	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Iris Emery 66/1, Made a winning hurdling debut at Fairyhouse in February but flying too high when pulled up in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 32 days ago. Yard run five and others look stronger. Never travelled a yard in the Grade 1 mares hurdle there at Easter; others preferred.
16 11th (16) (50/1 -25%) Lucy Wang	50 50/1(-25%)	(16) Lucy Wang 50/1, 7/1, yet to be asked for effort when slipped up home turn in maiden hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 4 weeks ago, likely to have finished in the frame. This a different kettle of kish, however. Unexposed and one of those that might well outrun her likely odds.
3 \|PU\| (3) (50/1 -79%) Miss Agusta	50 50/1(-79%)	(3) Miss Agusta 50/1, Capitalised on the drop in grade when winning 5-runner minor event hurdle (9/2) at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) 39 days ago, edging ahead post. Will need to raise her game again to get involved. Dual winner; rain will help but does need to improve on what she has done so far.
14 \|PU\| (14) (100/1 -25%) Cast A Spell	100 100/1(-25%)	(14) Cast A Spell 100/1, Ran well enough without fully backing up her apparent Thurles effort 4 months earlier when second of 11 in maiden hurdle (7/1) at Cork (19f, heavy) 32 days ago. Uphill task. Beaten in an ordinary contest over further at Cork; hard to fancy.
15 \|PU\| (15) (100/1 -25%) Karacole	100 100/1(-25%)	(15) Karacole 100/1, Good second of 6 in maiden hurdle (15/2) at Navan (20f, heavy) 40 days ago, having run of race. Plenty to find on form. Dropped in grade when runner-up in a 2m4f Navan maiden hurdle in March; hard to fancy.

19:05 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SPINDLEBERRY outran her odds when a creditable runner-up in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse latest and that form gives her leading claims for Willie Mullins. Her stablemate Got Glory is certainly one to note. She actually made her Irish debut in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse last year, but was pulled up after racing freely. She has had her issues, but returned almost a year later to hack up in a Naas maiden last month. Me Wee Bonnie Lass is a very likeable sort who is three from four over hurdles, while British raider Casa No Mento isn't out of it.

Willie Mullins continues his dominance with five runners and it's SPINDLEBERRY who gets the nod having coped admirably with the marked step up in grade when finishing runner-up in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse recently. Stablemate Got Glory had stacks in hand when winning her maiden last month so she's put forward as the main danger with significant progress expected, while Me Wee Bonnie Lass, Implicit and Casa No Mento are all also fancied to go well, too.

Willie Mullins' SPINDLEBERRY(nap) stepped up to Grade 1 company when second over 2m4f at Fairyhouse. 2m could well suit

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (7/2 -17%) Transitioning	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(6) Transitioning 7/2, 60,000 gns foal, 180,000 gns yearling. Half-brother to several winners, including 7f winner Rosemary And Thyme and 2-y-o 6f winner Barend Boy. Yard has made a very bright start to the season and he needs close attention in the betting. 180,000gns gelded half-brother to four winners; the market will show what's expected.
1 2nd (1) (28/1 +30%) Shamardal Star	28 28/1(+30%)	(1) Shamardal Star 28/1, Went unsold at £800 in an online sale late last year and beaten a long way by the winner when second in a 3-runner bumper on debut at Fakenham (2m, soft) in November. Can only be watched starting out on the Flat here. Second of three in a bumper last autumn; will probably be one for handicaps down the line.
2 3rd (2) (13/8 -47%) Coronado King	1.625 13/8(-47%)	(2) Coronado King 13/8, Exceed And Excel colt. Brother to 5f winner Saxon Village and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 7f Top Score and 1m winner Castle Lady, both smart. Fact that he's hooded for this debut is mildly disconcerting but makes plenty of appeal otherwise. Half-brother to four winners, including two on soft/heavy ground; likely looking newcomer.
4 4th (4) (17/2 +15%) Gracious Leader	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(4) Gracious Leader 17/2, Bred to be useful and didn't shape badly when sixth of 12 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, soft) on debut in October. However, reappearance effort at Newmarket was poor and he has a bit to prove on the back of that. Favourite on debut last autumn when running poorly; again offered little promise on return.
5 5th (5) (2/1 +11%) Sherman Tank	2 2/1(+11%)	(5) Sherman Tank 2/1, Price rose to €165,000 when resold last year and shaped with plenty of promise when a close third in a 9-runner Newcastle maiden (6f) on debut in November (gelded since). Entitled to improve and likely to play a leading role here. Shaped well on 6f Tapeta debut last autumn; sets the standard the newcomers are aiming at.
3 6th (3) (25/1 +75%) Drifts Away	25 25/1(+75%)	(3) Drifts Away 25/1, Sent off at 100/1 and trailed in a well-held last of 10 in a 6f Haydock novice on sole 2-y-o start. 100-1 for his debut last autumn (6f) when finishing a remote last; can't be recommended.

19:20 Doncaster Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from Sherman Tank's debut third at Newcastle in November and David Simcock's gelding must enter calculations on his return to action. However, newcomer CORONADO KING, a half-brother to French Group 1 winner Castle Lady, boasts an attractive pedigree and he could have too much class for these rivals. The Exceed And Excel colt may take this en route to bigger things, while any market support for fellow debutant Transitioning would also be interesting.

Newcomers TRANSITIONING and Coronado King both make plenty of appeal on paper, while Sherman Tank has to be respected given the promise he showed on his introduction at the backend of last year. It will of course be interesting to see how the betting shapes up but, as things stand, marginal preference is for Transitioning, whose red-hot yard saddled a winning 3-y-o newcomer at Yarmouth on Tuesday and this fellow may well follow suit.

The newcomers wouldn't need to be anything special but otherwise SHERMAN TANK sets the standard on last autumn's debut third.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (15/8 +66%) Pandora's Gift	1.875 15/8(+66%)	(7) Pandora's Gift 15/8, Promising sort. Won novices over C&D and at Southwell before making an impressive winning start to her handicap career over 6f at Lingfield on Good Friday. More to come and can take the step up to listed level in her stride. Won her last three, including impressive win on Good Friday; this tougher but unexposed.
10 2nd (10) (20/1 -167%) Tazara	20 20/1(-167%)	(10) Tazara 20/1, Fairly useful form in France, winning 8-runner maiden at Deauville (6f, heavy) on reappearance 22 days ago. This a rise in class and the outside stall doesn't make her life any easier. French win last month (6f, heavy) not working out; best watched from the widest stall.
4 3rd (4) (5/2 +25%) Jabaara	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(4) Jabaara 5/2, Useful 2-y-o form, notably 3 lengths sixth of 11 to Porta Fortuna in Cheveley Park Stakes (40/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) on final start. Makes polytrack debut. Has the form to be bang there. Not beaten far in a Group 1 when last seen; good chance if that wasn't a fluke.
12 4th (12) (12/1 +0%) Ziggy's Dream	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Ziggy's Dream 12/1, Fairly useful filly. 7/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) on reappearance 19 days ago, readily. Makes polytrack debut. Won well at Wolverhampton on her return; not as much to find as BHA ratings might indicate.
9 5th (9) (3/1 -20%) Soprano	3 3/1(-20%)	(9) Soprano 3/1, Useful filly. 3¼ lengths seventh of 11 to Porta Fortuna in Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 9/2) when last seen in September (had wind surgery since). Well drawn on return. Much respected for last year's winning connections. Beaten 5 times after winning 2yo debut but that doesn't tell the whole tale; had wind op.
8 6th (8) (14/1 -180%) Queen Of Mougins	14 14/1(-180%)	(8) Queen Of Mougins 14/1, Successful debut at Newbury last August. 2½ lengths fourth of 12 to Juniper Berries in 6f Salisbury Group 3 3 weeks later. This lightly-raced filly from a top stable surely has more to offer after only 2 starts. 4th in Group 3 just three weeks after a winning debut; unexposed; yard yet to hit top gear.
1 7th (1) (80/1 -60%) Boann	80 80/1(-60%)	(1) Boann 80/1, Fairly useful filly. Latest win at Kempton in November. Fourth of 6 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (5f) on reappearance 32 days ago. Back up in trip. Blinkers on first time. Plenty of improvement needed. Two AW wins as a 2yo but held in Class 4 handicap on return; now blinkered; hard to fancy.
5 8th (5) (50/1 -79%) Lady Pink Rose	50 50/1(-79%)	(5) Lady Pink Rose 50/1, Fairly useful filly. 6¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Ziggy's Dream in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) on reappearance 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Plenty to find on form. Had some fair 5f form as a 2yo; needs to step up on last month's return to action though.
6 9th (6) (10/1 +44%) Miss Black Jack	10 10/1(+44%)	(6) Miss Black Jack 10/1, Useful filly. 7/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (6f) 27 days ago, quickening clear. Capable of making an impact at a higher level on that evidence. Big improver since switched to AW, routing rivals in a minor Dundalk handicap latest.
2 10th (2) (200/1 -150%) Court Drive	200 200/1(-150%)	(2) Court Drive 200/1, Winning debut at Wolverhampton (7f) last month but well held over 6f there on Monday. Surely out of her depth here. Sprung 50-1 surprise on last month's debut (7f); well held over 6f on Monday; no appeal.
11 11th (11) (40/1 -371%) Works Of Art	40 40/1(-371%)	(11) Works Of Art 40/1, AW novice winner at 2. Much improved when second in Redcar 2-y-o Trophy in October. Had an excuse (got stuck behind a weakening rival) when well held in Newmarket listed final start. Ran well in the Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar but other form leaves her with a bit to find.

19:30 Chelmsford Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JABAARA was far from disgraced when finishing sixth in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket in September. The ratings suggest that Roger Varian's filly holds leading claims on her seasonal reappearance and she may be able to fend off Soprano, who finished just behind the selection in seventh that day. The daughter of Starspangledbanner has since undergone a wind operation and she isn't taken lightly, while the progressive Pandora's Gift cannot be ruled out in her quest to land a four-timer.

It was hard not be impressed by the way PANDORA'S GIFT spreadeagled her field in a Lingfield handicap over Easter and she can take the next step up the ladder now. Soprano has the inside stall and is feared most for the same owner/trainer combination as last year's winner Believing. Queen of Mougins and Jabaara complete the shortlist.

Soprano has to enter the reckoning but Pandora's Gift and ZIGGY'S DREAM are interesting alternatives from the handicap ranks.

19:40 Punchestown NH Flat Race 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (18/1 -200%) Wingmen	18 18/1(-200%)	(9) Wingmen 18/1, Irish point winner who justified cramped odds on Rules/bumper debut at Naas (2m) in December and despite again not looking the most tractable, he ran to a similar level when third back at that venue 67 days ago. Clearly a very useful prospect provided he learns to settle. Hood retained here. No match for William Munny in a Naas winners bumper but not one to discount here.
7 2nd (7) (12/1 +25%) Queensbury Boy	12 12/1(+25%)	(7) Queensbury Boy 12/1, £130,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in March. Confirmed himself a good prospect when getting the better of a previous bumper winner at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in December. Absent subsequently but he remains with a good deal of untapped potential. Landed a four-runner Chepstow bumper on his track debut in December; tons more needed here.
8 3rd (8) (8/1 +71%) The Passing Wife	8 8/1(+71%)	(8) The Passing Wife 8/1, Fair form when fourth on hurdles debut in October and perfect start in this sphere when landing a C&D bumper in November. Latest second at Fairyhouse (2m, heavy) was his best effort yet and not discounted for all this rates tougher again. Ran into a good one in Redemption Day at Fairyhouse last time; each-way chance at best.
1 4th (1) (8/1 +27%) Angelo Dundee	8 8/1(+27%)	(1) Angelo Dundee 8/1, Authorized gelding who looked an exciting prospect when taking 22-runner bumper at this meeting 12 months ago, his burst to the front particularly impressive. Absent since but he's clearly a very good prospect moving forward. Has to be a concern that he has not been seen since last year and might be best watched.
4 5th (4) (10/3 +5%) Goldinthemountains	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(4) Goldinthemountains 10/3, Flat-bred gelding who showed plenty of ability when fourth in a bumper here 12 months ago and improved after 8 months off/on debut for new yard when winning 12-runner Leopardstown bumper (2m) in December. In good hands and of interest again. Leopardstown winner; tongue-tie tried; could be capable of significant improvement still.
3 6th (3) (11/1 -22%) Cantico	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Cantico 11/1, Won sole start in points and built on a promising Rules debut to land a 5-runner bumper at Navan (15.7f) in February. Seemingly not 100% in Champion bumper subsequently but highly likely he can bounce back for his powerful stable. The selection of Paul Townend at Cheltenham when cutting out completely; could go better.
5 7th (5) (25/1 +24%) Nowwhatdoyouthink	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Nowwhatdoyouthink 25/1, Successful only start in points and having shaped encouragingly when fourth on bumper debut at Fairyhouse in January, he was much improved (in first-time tongue tie) when making a winning stable debut at Cork (19f) 32 days ago, doing it readily. Could be more to come. Won a Cork bumper over further at Easter for his new trainer; this is far more competitive.
2 8th (2) (50/1 +0%) Big Dee	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Big Dee 50/1, Thrice-raced winner in bumpers. 17/2, sixth of 8 in bumper at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 125 days ago, dropping away gradually having raced freely. Hood reached for now. Disappointing in a Leopardstown winners bumper in December; tried in a hood here.
10 9th (10) (9/2 -13%) Samyr	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(10) Samyr 9/2, Sea The Moon gelding who justified good support to make a winning debut in a Gowran bumper (2m) in January, drawing clear final 1f. In receipt of weight all round and worth considering with progress distinctly possible. Impressive at Gowran; better ground could well suit and looks to have a big chance here.
6 10th (6) (5/2 -53%) Port Joulain	2.5 5/2(-53%)	(6) Port Joulain 5/2, £300,000 purchase following success only start in points (Dec 2023) and despite a late market drift, looked a very bright prospect when successful on bumper debut at Gowran (18f) in March. Represents top stable and he's one for the shortlist with prospect of more to come. Winner of a Gowran bumper on heavy; could improve for this better ground but may need to.

19:40 Punchestown NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAMYR impressed with a clear-cut success on heavy ground at Gowran Park and should improve on better ground considering he was bought to go on the Flat. Port Joulain merits automatic respect as he represents team Mullins. After his Gowran Park success in March, Willie Mullins commented that he would have been one for Cheltenham, but that he couldn't get him ready in time. Mullins' Cantico was eased when beaten in the Champion Bumper and could bounce back on this ground. Angelo Dundee hasn't been seen since winning a bumper on debut at the Punchestown Festival last year, but he has plenty of ability and cannot be ruled out.

An expensive recruit having landed his only start in points, PORT JOULAIN looked a very bright prospect as he made a winning debut in this sphere at Gowran in March and he looks to hold sound claims with the prospect of even better to come. There is unsurprisingly plenty of depth to this bumper however, with Samyr, Goldinthemountains and the returning Angelo Dundee just a trio of others to consider.

Preference is for SAMYR, who won like a good horse on heavy at Gowran and better ground could well suit

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (11/5 -83%) Lava Stream	2.2 11/5(-83%)	(1) Lava Stream 11/5, 9/4, made the most of her experience when winning 6-runner minor event at Ayr (8f, heavy) 6 months ago, having just enough to fend off the favourite. Makes handicap debut and she's respected for a yard in and amongst the winners. Won in the mud in final 2yo run; still unexposed and she's a key player on handicap debut.
2 2nd (2) (9/4 -13%) Blake	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(2) Blake 9/4, Zoffany colt. Matched pick of juvenile form when third of 11 in maiden (11/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 6 weeks ago. Not dismissed on handicap/turf debut. Placed in the last two of his three runs and he's respected on handicap/turf debut.
4 3rd (4) (17/2 +15%) Too Much Trevor	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(4) Too Much Trevor 17/2, Made the frame first 3 starts but seemed outclassed as much as anything when tenth of 11 on handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Steps up to 1m for the first time and will need to hit the ground running (gelded in interim). Ended his 2yo campaign on a low note and has questions to answer on return; been gelded.
3 4th (3) (15/8 +44%) Royal Tapestry	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(3) Royal Tapestry 15/8, Winner at Lingfield in November. 4/1, below form after 7 weeks off when last of 6 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) in January. Cheekpieces on 1st time and lots to like with Oisin Murphy booked to ride. Has not gone on since his AW win in November; needs more in headgear back on turf.

19:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A heavy ground winner at Ayr when last seen in October, LAVA STREAM appeals as the one to beat given her ability to handle testing conditions. A mark of 74 does not look beyond the Too Darn Hot filly, although handicap debutant Blake could make a good fist of things now switched to the turf. Royal Tapestry might prove best of the remainder.

Tough to rule out any of the quartet but the vote goes to ROYAL TAPESTRY, who is the only one with a previous handicap victory to his name and first-time cheekpieces may well eke out that bit extra. Sole filly Lava Stream and Blake are both making their handicap debuts and they can chase home the selection in that order.

This is a tight call between the two handicap newcomers in Blake and LAVA STREAM but the vote goes to David O'Meara's filly.

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (15/2 +25%) Temple Bruer	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(8) Temple Bruer 15/2, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6f, 15/2) on reappearance 35 days ago. Could be sharper with that run behind him. Lurking on a dangerous mark. Dropped in the weights and should come on for his reappearance; Rossa Ryan booked; chance.
6 2nd (6) (7/2 +30%) Dubai Station	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(6) Dubai Station 7/2, C&D winner. 15/2, first run since leaving Mike Murphy & Michael Keady when good second of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago back with a former yard. Big player here if building on that. Good second on first run back with R Cowell (5f, turf); good mark but often slowly away.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 +56%) Sir Oliver	4 4/1(+56%)	(3) Sir Oliver 4/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in November. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7f, 14/1) 19 days ago. Return to sprinting may help but others are still preferred. On a winning mark but he's yet to shine in 2024; enough to prove for now.
2 4th (2) (10/3 +56%) The Thames Boatman	3.333333 10/3(+56%)	(2) The Thames Boatman 10/3, All 4 wins on AW, the latest at Lingfield (6f) under Finley Marsh in March. Pulled too hard under a 7 lb claimer at Kempton since and can do better with Marsh back in the saddle. Might need things to drop right from the outside stall but still respected. Progressing prior to a low-key run at Kempton last month; needs a full revival.
9 5th (9) (14/1 +44%) Gustav Graves	14 14/1(+44%)	(9) Gustav Graves 14/1, 4 wins from 10 runs this year. 20/1, 4¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Laoisman in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 24 days ago. He's had a fine winter but high in the weights as a result; well behind Laoisman latest.
4 6th (4) (11/1 -10%) Above	11 11/1(-10%)	(4) Above 11/1, C&D winner. Off 12 weeks, shaped as if needing run when ninth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago. Back on a winning mark. Two C&D wins to his name; on a winning mark but needs to step up on latest Newmarket run.
7 7th (7) (9/2 +40%) Regal Envoy	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(7) Regal Envoy 9/2, Pair of wins last autumn. 12/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this course (5f) in November. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 175 days off. Did well last year & final run, when 2nd over 5f here, was a career best; absent 175 days.
5 8th (5) (16/1 +36%) Rebel Path	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) Rebel Path 16/1, Seventh of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (6f) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Hard to make a case for on his efforts since coming to Britain. Dropped 7lb after two low-key handicap runs this spring; now tried in a tongue-tie.

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

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

LAOISMAN resumed his progress when scoring a shade cosily on his reappearance at Wolverhampton last month. A 3lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for the Night Of Thunder gelding and a fourth consecutive victory looks on the horizon. Having posted a close-up second on his stable bow at Yarmouth in April, the biggest threat may emerge from Dubai Station. This drop in class should suit Sir Oliver and he also enters calculations now back off his last winning mark.

A further 3 lb nudge from the handicapper doesn't look enough to prevent LAOISMAN making it 4 wins in a row. Dubai Station was a good second at Yarmouth last month and is feared most ahead of The Thames Boatman, who can have a line put through his latest Kempton effort and won nicely at Lingfield prior to that.

The claims of LAOISMAN (nap) are obvious having won his last three starts. The form of his Wolverhampton win last month looks strong.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (6/5 +4%) Mr Irrelevant	1.2 6/5(+4%)	(1) Mr Irrelevant 6/5, Built on promise of previous outing (form franked) when winning 8-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, heavy) 5 days ago, keeping on well. 6 lb penalty may not prevent follow up success. Kept on strongly to win by over 3l at Ripon on Saturday; respected under 6lb penalty.
6 2nd (6) (13/2 -8%) Lochaber	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(6) Lochaber 13/2, 12/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not out of things. Went close in soft-ground nursery last summer and ran okay on AW in March; cheekpieces on.
5 3rd (5) (6/1 +57%) Novello Lad	6 6/1(+57%)	(5) Novello Lad 6/1, Failed to build on encouraging Doncaster debut in 5 subsequent outings last year. Something to prove on return. Gelded since last run. Soundly beaten in two AW nurseries for this yard in the autumn; gelded during break.
2 4th (2) (25/1 -150%) Ottoman Force	25 25/1(-150%)	(2) Ottoman Force 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (6f). Off 6 months. Cheekpieces on first time/gelded since last run. Best form last term came in testing conditions and is worth monitoring in market on return/handicap debut. Off since poor AW run in October; cheekpieces and Tom Marquand enlisted for handicap debut.
4 5th (4) (15/2 +25%) Woodleigh	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(4) Woodleigh 15/2, Still looking for first success and was below form when third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (6f, heavy) on return 14 days ago. Kept on for modest third on seasonal debut; a possible if building on that performance.
8 6th (8) (13/2 -44%) Louella	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(8) Louella 13/2, 16/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, heavy) on return 23 days ago. Should be straighter for that run and drop back in trip is a plus. Placed in all four nurseries last year and ran well until 7f on heavy taxed him last month.
7 7th (7) (14/1 -115%) Fistral Beach	14 14/1(-115%)	(7) Fistral Beach 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden who stepped up on previous form when second of 10 in nursery over C&D (heavy, 6/1) in August. Since joined John Mackie and warrants respect on return to action. Second over C&D on nursery debut last August but not seen again since; now with new stable.
3 8th (3) (18/1 -13%) Eighth Army	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Eighth Army 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 28/1) 34 days ago. May have needed that outing and looks feasibly treated. Flopped on seasonal/handicap debut but displayed promise as a 2yo and remains unexposed.

20:20 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Mr Irrelevant cruised to victory at Ripon five days ago and would appear to hold every chance of following up under a 6lb penalty, but a chance is taken on WOODLEIGH. Declan Carroll's charge looked in need of the run when finishing third, behind Mr Irrelevant (second), at the North Yorkshire venue a fortnight ago and he could step forward eased 2lb in the ratings on his second start following wind surgery. Others to note include Ottoman Force and Eighth Army.

MR IRRELEVANT showed much improved form when scoring on slow ground at Ripon last week and looks well in under a penalty. He can go in again. Ottoman Force and Fistral Beach may give him most to think about.

Topweight MR IRRELEVANT (nap) kept on strongly to draw clear on soft ground at Ripon on Saturday and is 1lb ahead of the handicapper.

1 1st (1) (16/5 +29%) Northcliff	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(1) Northcliff 16/5, One win from 28 Flat runs. Winner at Wolverhampton in February. 4/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Can figure again from a handy draw. 7f AW win in February and he's followed that with three solid 6f runs; contender.
4 2nd (4) (5/1 +29%) Daytona Lady	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Daytona Lady 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 17/2, respectable fourth of 10 in C&D handicap 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Has fallen to a workable mark. Not seen to best effect here two weeks ago; has the ability to feature off this mark.
6 3rd (6) (12/1 +25%) El Hibri	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) El Hibri 12/1, Latest win at Southwell in January. Last of 12 in handicap (50/1) at Windsor (6f, good) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Three wins since joining this yard; latest run easily excused; cheekpieces return.
8 4th (8) (5/1 +0%) Man On A Mission	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Man On A Mission 5/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (5f, 22/1) 19 days ago. 6f Kempton win in February; placed in 3 of his 5 runs since; this could be run to suit.
2 5th (2) (11/2 +39%) Blackjack	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(2) Blackjack 11/2, C&D winner in February. Eighth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Southwell (6f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Needs to bounce back from 3 lesser efforts. C&D win in February stacks up well; gone off the boil more recently; down in class.
7 6th (7) (9/2 -35%) Sir Rodneyredblood	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(7) Sir Rodneyredblood 9/2, Three-time C&D winner, the latest in December. 7/2, creditable second of 10 in C&D handicap 14 days ago. Well drawn. Seven course wins, the latest in December; good second last time; should give his running.
5 7th (5) (16/1 -129%) Thismydream	16 16/1(-129%)	(5) Thismydream 16/1, Two wins from 41 Flat runs. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 22 days ago. Poor strike-rate but he ran well at Lingfield last time and is fully effective around here.
3 8th (3) (15/2 -50%) Lilkian	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(3) Lilkian 15/2, C&D winner. Shaped better than result when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 22 days ago, making good headway before flattening out late on. Back on a good mark. On a good mark and latest Lingfield fifth can be upgraded; respected back into Class 6.

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

SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD hit the crossbar off this mark over course and distance a couple of weeks ago and the seven-year-old merits plenty of respect on the back of that performance. Northcliff has not been beaten far on either of his last two starts and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Thismydream and Man On A Mission are others with valid form claims.

A chance is taken on LILKIAN who has dipped to a good mark and shaped better than the result at Lingfield last time. Daytona Lady is another who is starting to look well handicapped again and is second choice ahead of Northcliff and Sir Rodneyredblood.

Northcliff should give it another good go but LILKIAN is handicapped to win and his latest Lingfield run was promising.

2 2nd (2) (12/1 +0%) Garden View	12 12/1(+0%)	(2) Garden View 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f) 21 days ago. The return to 7f should suit her. Lacked the pace to get competitive over 6f on handicap debut here three weeks ago.
5 3rd (5) (9/4 +0%) Amroon	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(5) Amroon 9/4, Course winner in November. 2/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 9 days ago. Should go well off the same mark. Course win last year; good second over 7f last week; solid claims off the same mark.
3 4th (3) (15/2 +46%) Katie G	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(3) Katie G 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (7f) on reappearance 15 days ago. Should be sharper for the outing. No immediate improvement for handicapping at Kempton last month (7f); still early days.
9 5th (9) (16/1 -60%) War Zone	16 16/1(-60%)	(9) War Zone 16/1, Poor form. Cheekpieces on first time, best run this year when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 40/1) 14 days ago. Remains to be seen if he backs that up. Some promise, despite looking a hard ride, here (6f) last time; could yet do better.
11 6th (11) (22/1 +33%) Dash Power	22 22/1(+33%)	(11) Dash Power 22/1, Poor form. 14/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 9 days ago. Third over C&D last month but less good at Wolverhampton twice since.
4 7th (4) (4/1 +11%) Ocean Bliss	4 4/1(+11%)	(4) Ocean Bliss 4/1, Reached the frame again when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 10 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up once more. 0-9 but she's been threatening and her latest turf fourth came in a better race; respected.
1 8th (1) (7/1 -56%) Little White Dove	7 7/1(-56%)	(1) Little White Dove 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 12/1, second of 4 in maiden at this course (5f) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut. Draw not ideal but still on the shortlist for an in-form yard with a good record here. Seemed to run well over 5f here latest; new trip/switch to handicaps could spark more.
7 9th (7) (28/1 +15%) Moreginplease	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Moreginplease 28/1, Remains a maiden after 17 starts. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 22/1) 27 days ago. Others are preferred. Form has dipped of late; return to 7f can help but she has too much to prove for comfort.
8 10th (8) (16/1 +0%) Si Si La Bonne	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Si Si La Bonne 16/1, 17/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 19 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. Shown some promise around Wolverhampton; cheekpieces now tried; widest draw to overcome.
10 11th (10) (25/1 -56%) Clionia	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Clionia 25/1, Poor maiden. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft, 14/1) 8 days ago but had finished second over this C&D prior to that. Second over C&D last month but even that form not good enough; well held on turf since.

21:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AMROON put in an encouraging effort when filling second place on his return to action over 7f at Wolverhampton nine days ago and Marco Botti's gelding is hard to oppose as a result. Little White Dove has improved with every start to date and has to be of some interest on her handicap debut, while Cogsworth edges out Ocean Bliss to be the pick of the rest.

AMROON was attempting 7f for the first time when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and is taken to build on that and go one better now. Ocean Bliss has been knocking on the door recently and should figure again, while Little White Dove brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut for an in-form stable.

Ocean Bliss is high on the list but AMROON, a course winner, gets the vote after last week's good second at Wolverhampton.

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.
