Funny Story just got up in the final strides for her first victory in Listed company over C&D in October and Ralph Beckett's filly has to be high on the shortlist, despite giving 3lb and upwards to her rivals. A chance, though, is taken on Nell Gwyn fifth HERITAGE HOUSE, who outran her odds making late gains in a contest where it paid to be ridden handy. With the hood off and dropping back a furlong in trip, she makes plenty of appeal. Others to consider include Unequal Love and Star Guest.

The drop to sprinting has been the making of STAR GUEST and she can maintain her unbeaten record at this trip on return. Three-year-olds have a good record in this so the speedy Dorothy Lawrence must be respected down in class, while there's not much between Funny Story, Silent Words and Unequal Love judged on a similar event here in the autumn.

This can go to the well-bred STAR GUEST, firmly on the up when last seen nine months ago and well worth her place in this higher grade.

Unbeaten as a two-year-old, including a determined success on her handicap debut at Newmarket last October, FAIR ANGELLICA looks the one to beat on her return and a mark of 82 could still underestimate her ability. Mission To Moon did it well when scoring comfortably over C&D last August, and he must be a key player on his first run since a disappointing effort at the Curragh in September. Lessay cannot be ruled out either.

None of these can be ruled out but Richard Hughes' filly FAIR ANGELLICA is taken to return in style and maintain her unbeaten record at the chief expense of Mission To Moon who resumes on a handy-looking mark. Gamekeeper and Kingdom of Riches command plenty of respect too in an intriguing handicap.

The unbeaten Fair Angellica is tempting but MISSION TO MOON, a clearcut C&D winner at least year's Glorious meeting, is preferred.

END OF STORY is well related and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark on his racecourse debut. His dam is a half-sister to useful two-year-old winners Inverleigh and Setarhe and a bold bid can be expected. Granny Yorkshire is another interesting debutant, related to winners of the Morny and Temple Stakes, and George Scott's filly is one to take seriously, while Clipsham Noble could build on his debut effort.

The suggestion is GRANNY YORKSHIRE, with confidence in the chance of this Newmarket raider increased should the market vibes be strong given that George Scott sent out a first-time-out 2-y-o winner last month. Brazilian Belle and Kevin Ryan pair End of Story and Love Games are other likely types among the newcomers in a race where the betting promises to be informative.

The vote goes to END OF STORY who has an appealing pedigree and represents a yard that has struck with a 2yo newcomer this spring.

Noble Style looked a potential star when taking the Gimcrack at York in August 2022 before the wheels fell off after running well in the 2000 Guineas on this card last year. Freshened up after disappointing on his final start at Chester, he will undoubtedly be popular dropping into handicap company. Aberama Gold (third) fared best of those who reoppose from a C&D handicap at the Craven meeting, but stable companion SUMMERGHAND, an eye-catching fifth on that occasion, proved there is still plenty of life left in the 10-year-old yet and he gets the nod.

A fiendishly competitive sprint with several in with a squeak but it's David O'Meara's veteran SUMMERGHAND, who went into many a notebook with his fast-finishing fifth from a hopeless position (also met trouble) over C&D last month, selected to come out on top. He can get the better of Chairmanoftheboard, who bounced back to his best in refitted headgear at Newbury last month, with Apollo One, Noble Style and Sterling Knight all fancied to go well, too.

Chipstead and Summerghand are high on the list but the unexposed RABAAH looks worth chancing on his return to action.

CHOISYA was a tad unlucky when mowed down late on in a Listed contest at Kempton last month and a return to this track is a big plus, having scored by just under a length at the expense of Novus (second) over C&D last August. The consistent Breege could give her the most to think about on her return. Both narrowly denied on their latest starts, Marcella and Orchid Bloom are capable of going well too.

BREEGE was a bit unlucky to be winless last year and she ticks plenty of boxes here if ready to go after 7 months off. Novus has a 5 lb penalty for her Group 3 win at Newmarket in the autumn but she still rates the main threat with the ground very much in her favour. Choisya is another to consider.

There's plenty of untapped potential in ORCHID BLOOM, and William Haggas' upwardly mobile 4yo is taken to make a winning reappearance.

A competitive heat with plenty of chances, but the nod goes to WOBWOBWOB, who has often run well in these big-field handicaps and is likely to be on the scene once more. Adrian Keatley's runner is back on the mark that saw him clinch the Silver Cup at Ayr last September and looks dangerous as a result. Illusionist is feared most shouldering a 4lb penalty following his comfortable success over an extended 5f at Wetherby, while Holy Fire could also feature.

Having suggested his turn was near when runner-up here/Ripon, ILLUSIONIST found the reapplication of blinkers (retained here) doing the trick as he ended a losing run at Wetherby 6 days ago and a 4 lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold showing in this groove. Danzan, following his solid reappearance third at Ripon, is feared, with Mythical Phoenix, on debut for Julie Camacho, and the class-dropping Wobwobwob are others to consider.

This can go to ILLUSIONIST (nap) who can make light of a 4lb penalty for his convincing Wetherby success last Sunday.

TORITO progressed nicely in the early part of last season and announced himself as a smart individual when taking a handicap at Epsom that worked out to be a strong piece of form. The son of Kingman didn't get the clearest of passages when finishing fourth in the Hampton Court at Royal Ascot and it wouldn't be a surprise if he took this en route to bigger things later in the season. There are a plethora of dangers, though, headed by Theoryofeverything, Dutch Decoy and Liberty Lane.

Low-mileage 4-y-o TORITO will likely have pattern races on his agenda again before long but might be able to plunder this valuable handicap first. The big-field 1m handicap at the Craven meeting looks a key piece of form here, with Dutch Decoy, Theoryofeverything, Bopedro and Majestic four from that race who could have a big say in this.

Lightly raced TORITO is unraced for 317 days but brings clear potential judged on his two 1m2f performances on big racedays last June.

COKO BEACH could be capable of adding to his record in this discipline if making a quick reappearance, despite the Gordon Elliott-trained nine-year-old finishing third behind the reopposing Singing Banjo in the La Touche Cup here on Thursday. Given his chase rating of 159, the selection is capable of better and ought to go close. Stumptown was going well in that contest when bumped and unseating his rider, so he must be respected. Foxy Jacks was pulled up in the Grand National last month but had earlier impressed when winning over the cross country course at Cheltenham in November. He is likely to have been aimed at this meeting for some time. Genois finished second here in February and is another to bear in mind.

Many of these ran in the incident-packed La Touche Cup on Thursday with STUMPTOWN probably the one to take out of the race with a view to today as he was going nicely when bumped and unseating rider. Coko Beach failed to get the job done but is still a threat, with Cash Back another to take seriously at this level.

It may pay to side with ROI MAGE, who won a French cross-country course last November and finished ninth in the Grand National

THUNDER ROAR has made a pleasing start to the season, with three consecutive placed efforts, and he can get his head in front today. The five-year-old runs off the same mark as his third over 1m at Leicester, where he stayed on well to finish a length behind the winner. Northern Express may improve for his seasonal reappearance over 7f at Newmarket and warrants respect lining up off a 9lb higher mark than when winning this race last year. Hiromichi isn't ruled out raised 4lb after scoring over 1m at Ripon last week, while Redarna won this race in 2022 and isn't easily discounted.

The one who appeals most is QUEST FOR FUN, who travelled well for a long way before tiring late on when fourth on his seasonal reappearance at Musselburgh. He was broadly progressive in 2023 and may well have more to offer this year. Last year's winner Northern Express also shaped well on his return at Newmarket and he is feared most. That said, Hiromichi did the job well at Ripon last weekend and he is also high on the shortlist, while Pisanello is worth a second look, too.

Last year's one-two NORTHERN EXPRESS and Pisanello could be primed for bold bids, with the former taken to come out on top again.

The percentage call is MAXIDENT, who was thought good enough to contest the Champions Long Distance Cup at Ascot last October. The son of Nathaniel returned with a creditable second at Pontefract last month, and the winner has gone in again since to boost the form. A comfortable scorer at York when last seen on the Flat, Punctuation can give the selection the most to think about, ahead of Cinnodin.

A chance is taken on the stamina of PLUS POINT as she's very progressive and has also proven herself in the mud. Maxident shaped well on his reappearance and is second choice ahead of Cinnodin who won well on the AW last month but the handicapper hasn't missed him with a 7 lb rise.

The vote goes to CINNODIN (nap), a progressive stayer last year who continues in the same vein judging by his Kempton reappearance.

A dab hand when it comes to the training of sprinters, Charlie Hills looks to have acquired a talented recruit in the shape of MITBAAHY, who caught the eye when slowly away and staying on late over 6f in the Abernant last month. Conditions look to be in his favour again and this previous Group 3-winner is narrowly preferred to the returning Beautiful Diamond, who was a taking winner in Listed company at Ayr on her latest start. Vadream's connections will be hoping for plenty of rain in the forecast in her bid to repeat last year's success, while Twilight Calls remains a capable individual when things fall right.

MITBAAHY made a really encouraging start for Charles Hills when fourth in the Abernant Stakes here a fortnight ago, and with stablemate Equality no longer a runner, he looks the way to go. Twilight Calls has surprisingly failed to make a breakthrough in pattern company but his record fresh is encouraging, with 3-y-o Beautiful Diamond a fascinating runner.

Twilight Calls is a solid marker but this can lie between Kerdos and MITBAAHY (nap), who made a good start for his new yard.

Third in this contest last year, HISTORY OF FASHION is a proven stayer who has every chance of going two places better. The Pat Fahy-trained 10-year-old arguably ran a career best when fifth in the Irish Grand National recently. He raced from 2lb out of the handicap on that occasion but can run off his correct mark here. Better ground is also likely to suit the gelding. Klarc Kent obviously appreciated the stamina test when running his best race to date in the Scottish Grand National last month. He has to be a leading contender again for the in-form Mullins/Townend team. The veteran Sir Bob, who has been in great heart of late, can also play a part.

Willie Mullins' KLARC KENT arrives on the back of a good fourth in Ayr's Scottish National so looks the way to go off a 2 lb lower mark here. Stablemate Ontheropes came home a place behind him at Ayr and is feared most, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Credo, Western Zara, Peaches And Cream and Your Own Story in this very open handicap.

Irish Grand National fifth HISTORY OF FASHION has won only once over fences but was third in this last year and has each-way claims

Arecibo made a highly encouraging start to life under the guidance of Declan Carroll when touched off in a class 2 event at Musselburgh on his return to the fray last month. However, the vote goes to SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE, who could only manage sixth at Nottingham when last seen in September but he was dropped 2lb for that effort. The son of Charm Spirit lurks on an appealing mark and he ought to go close. Maximum Impact and Tatterstall are just two others to consider.

Having beaten a subsequent winner over C&D on his penultimate start, GLORY FIGHTER wasn't seen to best effect at Epsom 11 days ago and he's well worth another chance to prove his revised mark still workable. Arecibo ran a cracker on return/stable debut at Musselburgh and is feared, despite his losing run, with 3-y-o Maximum Impact and Khabib others to consider.

Vadamiah may prove the pick of the Midgley contingent but ARECIBO ran well on his stable debut and he's preferred.

SUMO SAM took the Lillie Langtry here and Park Hill at Doncaster last year and she sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 109. Paul & Oliver Cole's filly relishes soft ground and goes well fresh, so she is very much the one to beat. The main danger is Queen Of The Pride, who shed her maiden tag in pleasing style at Leicester in September when beating subsequent Listed winner Safety Catch. Ching Shih is noted too.

SUMO SAM was an impressive all-the-way winner in a couple of Groups 2s last season, including the Lillie Langtry here under similar conditions, so she may prove difficult to catch despite a 7 lb penalty. Ching Shih was over 4 lengths behind the selection in the Park Hill at Doncaster but she's entitled to finish closer on better terms now, while well-bred maiden winner Queen of The Pride has loads of potential stepping up in trip.

In form Jack Channon's GATHER YE ROSEBUDS has had an outing and that might give her a fitness edge over Ching Shih.

One of the best two-year-olds we have seen this century with a rating of 125, CITY OF TROY is a clear standout as his master trainer bids to land this contest for an 11th time. The form of both his runaway wins in the Superlative and Dewhurst here are working out well, and a mile is likely to be his absolute minimum trip this campaign, being a son of Triple Crown winner Justify and out of a Galileo mare. Trainer Richard Hannon seems to hold Rosallion in the highest regard and he looked top class when scoring from a subsequent Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere last autumn. Unbeaten and a taking winner of the Royal Lodge over C&D, Ghostwriter should be coming home strongly at the finish, while Task Force is bred for the job with both his parents Classic winners on the Rowley Mile. Alyanaabi and Notable Speech are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

Aidan O'Brien has made little secret of the fact that he regards CITY OF TROY as the best 2-y-o he's trained and this clear Timeform top rated can provide the master of Ballydoyle with a record-extending 11th win in the first Classic of the season. Rosallion was also highly promising at 2 and can give the selection most to do ahead of Godolphin's Notable Speech, who didn't make his debut until January but has quickly established himself as a top prospect with 3 AW wins at Kempton.

Provided he has trained on well, CITY OF TROY looks set to enhance his already huge reputation. Rosallion is feared most.

Cheltenham Mares' Hurdle winner LOSSIEMOUTH is difficult to oppose in her bid to complete the perfect season. Winner of the 4-Y-O Hurdle at this meeting last year, the Willie Mullins-trained mare made a winning reappearance in the Unibet Hurdle in January before following up at the Cheltenham Festival. Barring something unforeseen happening, she can make it three from three this term. Stablemate Ashroe Diamond ran too free before eventually being pulled up in that aforementioned Cheltenham contest, but the seven-year-old rates the biggest threat. Mares' Hurdle runner-up Telmesomethinggirl has a bit to find with Lossiemouth but is capable of running a big race nonetheless.

LOSSIEMOUTH looks a class above in the mares' division and can provide Willie Mullins with yet another win in this. Henry de Bromhead's Telmesomethinggirl and Hispanic Moon were second and third to the selection at Cheltenham and might be the pair to chase her home again.

Willie Mullins has won this 9 times and LOSSIEMOUTH can make it 10 after beating these rivals in fine style at Cheltenham

ROCKYMOUNTAINWAY took a pleasing step forward from her debut effort to finish third at Kempton on her latest outing and she now makes her turf debut. The daughter of Lope De Vega could have plenty more to offer and she looks the one to beat. Lady Pagasa finished a fair fourth at Wolverhampton in November and she has to be taken seriously on her return to action, while Mostar Dreams is another to consider after her second at Pontefract.

LOKANA ended her 2-y-o campaign on a bit of a low note, but she'd split a pair of subsequent winners at Leicester prior to that so she's taken to get back on track returning from 7 months off. Second choice is Rockymountainway, who stepped up on debut effort despite still showing some greenness at Kempton recently, while Nartaji was a rare runner for Roger Varian who looked in need of experience on debut and she could prove a different proposition here.

Several have possibilities in this open race but recent Pontefract runner-up MOSTAR DREAMS gets the vote on her step up in trip.

GALACTIC CHARM had Worrals (third) behind when hitting the crossbar at Wolverhampton in March and he may have found the 1m4f trip too far at Ripon last time. The son of Sea The Moon can confirm that Wolverhampton form en route to shedding the maiden tag. As for Worrals, that was only her second start and she could get closer on her turf debut. Any market confidence behind Desert Footsteps would also be interesting.

BERKSHIRE NUGGET ran well making handicap debut/after 6 months off (also gelded) when beaten only by another progressive sort at Kempton 24 days ago and he looks to hold solid claims in a maiden lacking a great deal of depth. Worrals promises to do better as a 3-y-o, and along with Galactic Charm, heads up the dangers.

Berkshire Nugget has marginally the best form but several others have potential, notably WORRALS who now switches to turf.

VALGRAND wasn't disgraced when fourth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last month and he now makes his hurdle debut for the Dan Skelton team. The son of Bathyrhon could prove too good for these, with his main threat possibly being Came From Nowhere, who scored in fine style on his debut in a Taunton bumper and he is one to take seriously. Of the remainder, debut third Kap Ouest makes the most appeal in a first-time hood.

VALGRAND showed plenty on both starts in bumpers and will no doubt have been well schooled ahead of this switch to hurdling, so he's fancied to make his class tell. Can't Resist It is entitled to improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Huntingdon, while Came From Nowhere was quite impressive in a Taunton bumper last month and warrants respect, also.

The Grade 2 Aintree bumper in which VALGRAND finished close up in fourth is always a strong race and he could be a smart hurdler.

MAXI KING could not have won any easier on his return from a 383-day absence at Ripon last month and an 8lb rise for that success looks manageable as he goes up to 1m4f for the first time. The son of Belardo may have too much for the progressive Knightswood, who was an excellent second over this distance at Ripon last month. Real Dream won first time out last season and must be noted, as well as To Catch A Thief for his in-form connections.

YOUTHFUL KING has been running consistently well of late and, having fared best of those held up on his most recent outing, he gets the nod to come out on top back on turf. Real Dream is a low-mileage 5-y-o who could have more to offer this season, with Knightswood completing the shortlist having returned better than ever at Ripon last week.

Trainer Anthony Honeyball, who targets this meeting every year, has strong claims with the nine-year-old BLACKJACK MAGIC. Having won the Badger Beer Handicap Chase on his reappearance, the gelding has run better than the bare form suggests on three subsequent starts. Best going right-handed, the UK raider has plenty in his favour here. Runner-up in this race 12 months ago, Ballykeel is back for another crack under champion conditional jockey Danny Gilligan. Kept fresh for this assignment, it would be no surprise to see a big performance from the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding. Given the firepower available to Willie Mullins, his representative Glengouly has to be respected.

GOLD BULLION is potentially on a handy opening mark on the pick of his chase form so this unexposed sort could be the answer. Better Times Ahead is still on the upgrade judged on his second at Fairyhouse and arrives fresher than most, so is shortlisted along with the thriving Cruz Control.

A speculative vote goes to Rachael Blackmore's mount GOLD BULLION who ran in novice races won by high-profile horses last winter

BEYLERBEYI bounced back to form when a close second on his first start over a mile at Yarmouth 11 days ago and the four-year-old merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance, despite a 2lb rise. Golden Melody is a consistent performer who ran well on her return at Pontefract recently and she could prove to be the main danger, although Kynsa and Irish Flame should not be discounted.

KYNSA made a reasonable debut for this yard when fourth at Southwell last time and, with this return to turf (with cut in the ground) in her favour, she makes plenty of appeal with the promise of more to come. Golden Melody and Beylerbeyi both arrive in good order, so they're feasible dangers in an open race.

The choice is KYNSA who made an encouraging stable debut at Southwell last month. He looks a major player if stepping up from that.

Wonder Legend was an impressive winner on soft ground at Doncaster before emerging with plenty of credit at Royal Ascot. Gelded since his last appearance in August, he has to be respected along with Maghlaak.

Cases can be made for most, but the most persuasive is for WONDER LEGEND, who boasts some strong 3-y-o form and has been gelded ahead of his return. A first-time hood/tongue tie goes on, and he can get the better of Indemnity, who has finished runner-up on 3 all-weather starts last year and now makes his handicap/turf debut.

TEXARD hosed up by 21 lengths in a class 5 event over 2m1f at Market Rasen last time and he was hit with a 10lb rise for that success. The son of Kapgarde should have no issues with this step back up in trip and he could prove hard to beat. Lesser disappointed on his handicap bow over the smaller obstacles in January but it will be interesting to see how the dual hurdle winner fares on his chase debut, while Magic Dancer goes off an appealing mark and is another to watch out for.

TEXARD quickened away from his rivals in good style at Market Rasen and, if in a similar mood here, he should have little trouble shrugging off a 10 lb rise in the weights. Nocte Volatus is capable of a bold show, while Lesser is an intriguing candidate on this chase debut and Mumbo Jumbo could have a part to play, too.

Class-dropping NOCTE VOLATUS was not at his best on his final two starts last season but is attractively weighted now.

HOVER ON THE WIND was only narrowly denied when sent off favourite on his seasonal return over C&D three weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see him provide his supporters with some compensation here. Resonance remains unexposed and could be on a workable mark based on the pick of her form, while Em Jay Kay and Jesse Luc complete the shortlist.

HOVER ON THE WIND can gain compensation for her near miss on her C&D reappearance and gain an overdue first success. Jessie Luc shaped quite promisingly at Kempton last time and is second choice ahead of the lightly-raced Resonance, who needs keeping a close eye on in the betting on her first outing for Tom Clover.

Hover On The Wind enters calculations but preference is for JESSE LUC, who's capable of better if more amenable in the cheekpieces.

DAPPER VALLEY is taken to reverse last-time-out form with Trefor and land the spoils. He travelled best for a long way in the aforementioned contest, and finished first of 10 in the near side group, so any improvement from that comeback run could make him difficult to beat. Trefor looks to have improved from two to three himself, though, and certainly shouldn't be underestimated. Moswaat, Shagraan and Two Tribes add further spice to the race.

Plenty to consider but SHAGRAAN may well have made a successful reappearance/stable debut with a clear passage at Sandown last week and, now back over 6f, he can confirm himself to be ahead of his mark. James's Delight is back in a more suitable race so he commands respect, with Eye of Dubai another going the right way.

In a warm race, MOSWAAT is taken to build on considerable 2yo promise. Shagraan is feared most on his second run for Mick Appleby.

KARGESE has been beaten by two high-class types when finishing second in both the Triumph Hurdle and when pulling too hard in an Aintree Grade 1 last month, so could take some beating if settling better. She raced three times in France so has vast experience for a juvenile, is ground-versatile and holds six of today's rivals on previous form, including nearest-pursuers at Cheltenham Nurburgring (fourth) and Storm Heart (fifth). All of Bottler'secret's form is on easy ground and while he defeated Karl Des Tourelles by just under four lengths lengths at Fairyhouse over Easter, he is 3lb worse off with that rival today. With that in mind, Karl Des Tourelles could turn tables, as he is less exposed and open to a fraction more progression.

KARGESE backed up her effort in the Triumph Hurdle when runner-up to Sir Gino at Aintree and, providing she can settle a little better than usual, she's fancied to notch a second win at the top level. Bottler'secret is an obvious threat following his Grade 2 success at Fairyhouse, while Nurburgring shouldn't be taken lightly having been left poorly placed at Cheltenham.

Willie Mullins has won this ten times since 2001 and saddles six here. KARGESE sets the standard by virtue of consistent Grade form

Joie De Vivre must be considered after staying on for a close second off 2lb lower over 1m4f at Catterick last month and the C&D winner should appreciate the step back up in trip, but the vote goes to FLEUR DE MER instead. Hugo Palmer's filly caught the eye when second over 1m4f at this venue two weeks ago, having met trouble in running, and the step up in trip could help her go one better. Recent Nottingham winner Queensland Boy also makes the shortlist.

FLEUR DE MER was unlucky not to get closer here last time and should appreciate the longer trip, so makes plenty of appeal and can defy top weight. Corsican Caper has found form again of late and is another player in hat-trick bid, with Dark Jedi and Joie de Vivre others to consider.

Preference is for FLEUR DE MER who hit a personal best with her eyecatching second here two weeks ago and is open to more progress.

A very competitive heat sees a chance taken on LIGHTS ARE GREEN, who has a good record at the track when completing and he could be well treated after a break. George Bewley's runner has been off the track for more than 200 days, when he finished a clear second over 3m at this venue. Edward Austin takes off a valuable 5lb and this prominent racer could be difficult to pass. Stowaway John bounced back to form in fine style last time over C&D and a 5lb rise could prove lenient, while The White Volcano rates best of the rest.

Perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will help eke out a little more from EMPTY NEST and, if so, he could be the answer. The White Volcano is second choice, while Lights Are Green will have a fighting chance if close to his peak. The veteran Cudgel and Ex S'Elance are others to consider.

6yo EMPTY NEST (nap) gets the vote ahead of recent C&D winner Stowaway John and course specialist Cudgel.

DASHING HARRY got off the mark at Bath in October on heavy ground before returning to fill the runner-up spot behind a well-handicapped rival, who subsequently won again under a penalty, at Windsor last month. The fact he has proven form under similar conditions earns him the vote. Cypriot Diaspora is 4lb higher than her recent Nottingham success, while the hat-trick seeking No Half Measures is a fascinating contender on her turf debut.

NO HALF MEASURES progressed on each of her 3 starts on the all-weather and seems likely to remain on an upward curve now switched to turf for her handicap debut. Dashing Harry chased home a rival who has since completed the hat-trick on his comeback and has to be respected again, whilst Cypriot Diaspora won well in similar conditions 14 days ago and also can't be discounted in a tight contest.

The ground is an unknown but NO HALF MEASURES, a half-sister to mudlark Trilby, has looked promising on AW and can win again.

Resplendent Grey put in another solid display to hit the crossbar in this grade at Wincanton on his latest outing and he should remain competitive off a 2lb higher rating. However, a chance can be taken on ARAMAX, who failed to fire in a higher grade at Doncaster in March but the ground wasn't in his favour that day, so he is well worth another chance off a 4lb lower rating for the in-form Ben Haslam yard. Ballybegg is another to keep an eye on.

RESPLENDENT GREY can confirm last month's Wincanton superiority over Monviel and land a third hurdle success. Last year's runner-up Ballybegg may prove best of the remainder.

A few of these have questions to answer right now but not RESPLENDENT GREY who ran up to his best in defeat last time.

CHRISTIAN DAVID is a colt that looks to be learning all the time and there was much to like about his neck third in a 0-100 handicap at Newbury. Dropped in class today, with Ryan Moore taking over the reins, he is fancied to play a leading role. Key To Cotai ended last season with a narrow C&D defeat and commands plenty of respect after her pleasing reappearance effort over 6f at Wolverhampton. She can figure prominently under Tom Marquand, while Pressure's On, Purefoy and Pitney are other names to note.

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims and with that in mind INDIVAR could well represent a spot of value. A comfortable winner on his final start at Redcar in the autumn, he returned with an encouraging third in a C&D handicap at the Craven Meeting last month and this well-bred sort is just the type to build on that for his good yard. Pedro Valentino is another expected to come on for his return and is respected along with Purefoy. Pressure's On and Christian David complete the shortlist.

Interesting handicap debutant HARRY DID looks favourably treated and is first choice ahead of Pressure's On.

BANTZ makes plenty of appeal on pedigree as the 45,000gns purchase is a full-brother to the Listed-placed two-year-old No More Regrets, as well as last year's Lily Agnes runner-up Ziggy's Dream. Bolo Neighs is closely related to the Nunthorpe second Que Amoro and any market support for him would have to be noted, while Benevento and Cyclonite are others to consider.

BOLO NEIGHS is bred to be fast being a half-brother to Nunthorpe runner-up Que Amoro so he could be the answer in this maiden full of newcomers. Bantz and Invictus Gold are other likely types, though the betting should prove informative.

A hard race to approach without the benefit of market vibes but BENEVENTO looks a likely type with his yard's 2yos going well.

OLYMPIC MAN's jumping has been his achilles heel but he could be suited by dropping in distance, having failed to get home over 3m at Fairyhouse. Despite his jumping lacking in fluency, he has smart form and while 6lb higher than at Fairyhouse, that was his handicap debut and he has scope for progress. Waterfordwhispers finished second in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham and is also suited by soft ground. He ran with a UK rating of 133 then and runs off 135 here, which is 12lb higher than his mark when finishing second at the Leopardstown meeting during Christmas. The progressive Lucky Zebo is ground-versatile and has place claims, despite being rated 6lb higher than when winning at Cork.

The suspicion remains that OCASTLE DES MOTTES is capable of better than he has shown since joining Willie Mullins. He was too free when fifth in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival and is taken to reverse the placings with Waterford Whispers, who was second in the same race. That said, the latter is not passed over lightly as she remains open to improvement with just five runs under her belt. Visionarian and Olympic Man, Townend's pick of the seven Mullins runners, are also considered.

WATERFORD WHISPERS ran a belter in the Martin Pipe last time and he's entirely unexposed having just his sixth start

Plenty in with chances and COOLMOYNE gets a tentative selection. Simon Waugh's charge went off a well-backed favourite last time over 2m1f at Market Rasen, and a more sedate gallop up in trip can help the eight-year-old produce a more polished jumping display. Robert D'ores looked to be running a nice race before unseating his rider over C&D last time and he should be thereabouts if he gets round, while Benny Baloo is a consistent performer to note.

COWBOY COOPER took a step back in the right direction when third over this C&D 12 days ago and this could be the day when he finally gets his head in front. Toombridge is capable of a bold show off his present mark and he is next on the list ahead of Coolmoyne and Benny Baloo.

The choice is WAVELENGTH, who took this race in 2022 and has since shown he retains his ability despite a long break.

FARCEUR DU LARGE appeared to be revitalised by a change of scenery with victories in both the Grand and Royal Military races at Sandown, before not getting home here in the Midlands National on his latest outing. The drop in trip on this occasion gives him every chance to get his head back in front. The hat-trick seeking Imperial Alex faces a 10lb hike for his Wetherby success and is likely to enter calculations, while Ballygrifincottage and Pimlico Point are others worth noting.

FARCEUR DU LARGE shaped as if still in very good form when fifth in the Midlands Grand National here 7 weeks ago, the combination of the much longer trip and a stopping blunder in the straight exaggerating the distance he was beaten, and he's fancied to resume winning ways back down in distance. Ballygrifincottage is another who shaped better than the bare result when seventh in the Scottish National and rates a big threat if this doesn't come too soon. In-form Imperial Alex is best of the rest.

It's only two weeks since his excellent run in the Scottish National but BALLYGRIFINCOTTAGE (nap) has really turned a corner this year.

Pjanoo readily justified favouritism at Wolverhampton and warrants plenty of respect returning to turf off an 8lb higher mark, while Arthur's Realm and Farasi Lane are other last-time-out winners to consider. A chance, however, is taken on the returning CRACK SHOT. He can easily be forgiven his latest effort, finishing midfield in the Cambridgeshire over 1m1f here, and holds solid claims on the form of his Newbury success prior to that. Rowayeh has the ability to figure on her reappearance but needs to settle.

ROWAYEH beat a subsequent listed winner at Sandown last season and starts her 4yo season on a mark which still appeals as workable, so gets the verdict over Crack Shot, who rates as one who should have more to offer in this kind of environment despite a slightly underwhelming show in the Cambridgeshire when last seen. Bodorgan ran well here at the Craven Meeting so gets the nod for third over the still-unexposed Bystander.

There is no shortage of each-way interest but this may well fall to one of the more lightly raced types, headed by ROWAYEH.

MOON OVER MIAMI accounted for a useful prospect who has won subsequently when scoring on his racecourse bow at Doncaster in March. Ralph Beckett's gelding is entitled to improve for that experience and could prove to be a class above his rivals here. That said, Steel Tiger is a noteworthy newcomer having cost 110,000 euros as a yearling and his dam was a Group 2 winner and twice placed at Group/Grade 1 level. Alnayef showed enough at a breeze-up sale last year for connections to part with 175,000 euros to purchase him and the son of Sea The Stars is another to consider.

MOON OVER MIAMI is bred to be at least useful, and following a winning debut at Doncaster in March, he's hard to get away from. This looks a reasonable bunch though, with Alnayef and Steel Tiger newcomers to note.

King Edward VII entry Alnayef is an intriguing newcomer but MOON OVER MIAMI sets a useful standard on his Doncaster win.

Willie Mullins hasn't won this particular bumper since 2018 but introduces homebred CHART TOPPER, who is a brother to the Grade 1-placed Pink In The Park. It is encouraging that he debuts at this festival and he could be smart. Jacob's Ladder won an Oldtown point-to-point for Peter Buchanan before selling to current connections for 110,000 pounds. That form has already been boosted by the fourth-placed horse winning easily subsequently and he could be the main threat. The Moyglare Stud Farm-bred Passenger has a Flat pedigree so makes a belated debut, but is from an excellent family and warrants respect. He is a rare bumper runner these days for his trainer, who sent out the high-class Forgotten Rules to win on his debut at this meeting in 2014.

JACOB'S LADDER made a winning start in points and is from an excellent family, so he could put his experience to good use here. Chart Topper, a full brother to dual bumper winner Pink In The Park, is an obvious danger for a top yard and Will The Wise is another notable recruit from between the flags.

It may be worth siding with the point winner JACOB'S LADDER who was bought for £110,000 after his point win and can give a good account

CHOOSETHENEWS got off the mark over fences with a decisive victory at Newcastle three weeks ago and a 3lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to stop him from following up here. Playful Saint has failed to fire on his last couple of starts over hurdles but he should not be underestimated on his chasing bow, while similar comments apply to Park Annonciade.

CHOOSETHENEWS showed a likeable attitude when making his third start over fences a winning one at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and he looks to hold sound claims of following up with the prospect of more to come. Park Annonciade should benefit from the step back up in trip now chasing and he's feared, with Playful Saint and Whatdeawant others who demand a second look for their very good yards.

The safest option looks to be CHOOSETHENEWS, who stayed on gamely when winning at Newcastle and is open to further improvement.

BLAGTHEBOOKIES showed very little over hurdles in four attempts for Christian Williams in the autumn months. However, the six-year-old recently showcased his wel-lbeing with victory in a point-to-point and might just be the type who runs up a sequence now in the care of Harry Derham. Mister Barclay gained his first win at Exeter last month and is an obvious threat on his chasing bow, with Higgs and Kap Chidley appealing most of the remainder.

KAP CHIDLEY's best run came in a C&D handicap chase in October off 6 lb higher and having shaped better last time he could be ready to strike. Mister Barclay opened his account over hurdles 4 weeks ago and is interesting now switched to fences, while Blagthebookies is worth a look starting out in this sphere for Harry Derham.

If judged on last year's Irish point win, Harry Derham's new recruit BLAGTHEBOOKIES could be a blot on the handicap.

Turned out again quickly after an impressive success at Leicester last week, BLETCHLEY STORM looks the one to be with as long as she handles this potentially sounder surface and an 11lb higher mark. Beau Vintage (second) had the reopposing Churchill Rose (fourth) comfortably behind when slightly unlucky in the run at Kempton last month and he looks open to more improvement, while Eloped and Vision Of Hope are likely to be thereabouts as well.

It could pay to side with VISION OF HOPE, who is 1 lb lower compared to when a close third at Wolverhampton in February. Beau Vintage will be a big threat if reproducing his recent all-weather form back on turf and C&D winner Churchill Rose is also accorded respect. Bletchley Storm is likely to attract support on the back of her Leicester victory but she's been hit hard by the handicapper for that and will face very different conditions here.

This can go to BLETCHLEY STORM (nap), who has won two of his last four starts including a runaway success at Leicester last Saturday.

WILFUL put two narrow defeats behind him with an easy 28-length success over 2m3f at Fontwell last time and the five-year-old clearly sets the standard on that evidence. Walk On Quest disappointed last time but is a player based on his second at Kelso on his Rules debut, while Famous Liss edges out Conquer The Breeze to be the pick of the remainder.

WILFUL completed a simple task with ease at Fonwell last time and this looks a good opportunity for him to follow up under a penalty. Le Jeune Bresil has shaped as if amiss the last twice but can pose the main threat if returning to his Wetherby form after a break. Walk On Quest is another with a bit to prove but can't be written off just yet.

The most obvious answer is WILFUL, who built upon his good hurdling debut when breezing to a 28l success at Fontwell in March.

Having benefitted from the extra yardage last time, AWORKINPROGRESS can follow up that comfortable success over the extended 2m5f at Fontwell. Nick Gifford's charge has been raised 6lb in the ratings for that success, which could prove lenient with another step up in trip unlikely to be an issue. Twp Stori appears likely to be pose the biggest threat to the selection after a cosy win over 3m2f at Fontwell and he's likely to be strong at the line, despite a 7lb rise. Shengai Enki is a consistent performer who could hit the frame.

AWORKINPROGRESS was strong at the finish when making his second handicap start a winning one at Fontwell around a month ago, and with this extra emphasis on stamina sure to suit, he's the one to beat. Geordie Night also has a bigger performance in him, with Flashy Boy one to note in the betting starting out for Fergal O'Brien.

This looks open. RIVER VOYAGE has the potential to deliver a hefty spike in his form now returned to nearly 3m for his second handicap.

A promising fifth last August on his debut in a Goodwood maiden that has worked out well in the interim, DORNEY LAKE looks to have been found an ideal opportunity on his return. The son of Ardad has undergone wind surgery since and gets the vote ahead of newcomer Moakadd, who has quite a speedy pedigree being a half-brother to the capable Fauvette. Durham Castle got going late in the day on debut at Kempton last October and with that run under his belt, he should be capable of better.

MOAKADD makes plenty of appeal on paper and his stable has started out at this track with a few promising sorts in the past, so he's marginally preferred to Dorney Lake who arrives 9 months on from a mildly encouraging start. Mutamanni is another notable newcomer.

Preference is for DORNEY LAKE, who made a promising start at Goodwood last August and that form has worked out really well.

BREIZH RIVER has shaped well on his last 2 starts over hurdles and is the form choice in receipt of 7 lb from the penalised Speed Davis. Bold Light is another who could have a big say in proceedings.

Following a clear second over 2m at Ffos Las last time, HUGUENEAU is taken to go one better today. Dan Skelton's charge bumped into a progressive rival on that occasion and having been raised just 1lb by the handicapper, he can exploit this mark of 87. Churchman is feared most if he can return to the form that saw him denied by just a nose over 2m at Ludlow on his penultimate outing off the same mark, while Chevington could be seen to be better effect now handicapping.

HUGUENEAU produced his most promising effort yet when runner-up at Ffos Las 12 days ago and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Speiriuil is a threat on handicap debut in receipt of a 4-y-o allowance, with Colonel Lesley one to monitor in the betting for a new yard.

Dan Skelton's runner HUGUENEAU shaped as though his turn might be near when keeping on well for second at Ffos Las recently.

Horn Cape comfortably got the better of CONISTON GEORGE at Newcastle but a combination of faster ground and a 9lb swing in the weights could see Nicky Richards' charge reverse that form. Goldwyn has done little wrong since joining the Mark Walford stable, building on two solid placed efforts when scoring by three lengths at Wetherby, and he must enter calculations. Two Auld Pals also warrants respect following his C&D success.

HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES is on a handy mark and is the sort to benefit from less testing conditions, so he could be worth chancing to get the better of Horn Cape, who is clearly still thriving. Goldwyn and Consiston George are also definite players.

The pick is TEDLEY, who ran well over 2m5f last month and looks quite interesting now dropped back in trip and tried in cheekpieces.

20:05 Yarmouth Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Wild Tiger was sent off favourite for both of his handicap efforts at Meydan earlier in the year when tasting defeat on both occasions and the four-year-old arrives with something to prove. Preference, therefore, goes to MIAMI THUNDER, who was way too free over a mile at Chelmsford in January after scoring over a furlong shorter on his penultimate start at the same venue. George Scott's four-year-old will appreciate this drop in trip and can get back to winning ways. Ribal is also worth a second look.

Having made an impressive winning debut back in 2022, WILD TIGER has returned with a couple of creditable efforts at Meydan this year. A mark of 85 looks reasonable and he's fancied to improve, so he can account for Chola Empire, who upped his game to score at Southwell last time. Miami Thunder is a big player if effective on turf.

Preference is for WILD TIGER, who has been found the ideal opening. Ribal is second choice.

It could be worth chancing BETTER BE DEFINITE from the foot of the weights. Neil Alexander's charge won nicely on just his second handicap appearance at Ayr and, open to greater improvement, he should be competitive off a 5lb higher mark. Stablemate Boolamore Classic wouldn't have been far away over 2m4f here last time but for unseating his rider two out and the handicap debutant is interesting with cheekpieces now equipped. Atomic Angel arrives in excellent form and makes the shortlist, along with Rumble B and Guernesey.

GUERNESEY looked back in form with cheekpieces on for the first time when third in a handicap at Perth recently and, faced with a marked drop in grade, he makes plenty of appeal. Last-time-out winner Better Be Definite is a danger and Atomic Angel should give her running again.

The unexposed BOOLAMORE CLASSIC looked likely to be involved in the finish before unseating at Ayr and is the tentative suggestion.
