11:55 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

ROARING CONQUEST wasn't seen to best effect when caught flat-footed off a sedate gallop on his fourth-placed hurdles bow at Uttoxeter last month. Olly Murphy's charge should have learned plenty from that experience and he looks ready to open his account under Rules. Jackstell found only a Grade 2 bumper winner too strong on his opening bid over timber at Huntingdon 25 days ago and he is feared most, ahead of Rip Wheeler.

Having won his bumper in Ireland, JACKSTELL found a sharp 2m against him on hurdles debut at Huntingdon but he did keep on well for second. Sure to build on that upped in trip, he's marginally preferred in favour of Roaring Conquest, while Girls Best Friend requires a market check on Rules debut.

This looks to be a match between Olly Murphy's Roaring Conquest and Jamie Snowden's JACKSTELL, with preference for the latter.

12:05 Newbury Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

James Owen's Flat recruits continue to make a significant impact in this discipline, and LIAM SWAGGER, now two from two over hurdles following last month's Listed Wetherby triumph, has been no different. The son of Iffraaj is fancied to give weight and a beating to Miss Altea Blue, who was far from disgraced on her UK debut, although more will be needed if she's to lay a glove on the selection. Alan King often does well with his juvenile hurdlers and Believitanducan requires a market check.

LIAM SWAGGER has looked a good prospect since having his attentions switched to hurdling and can go 3-3 and continue the fine form of James Owen. Paul Nicholls' French recruit Miss Altea Blue has some fairly useful form to her name and rates the chief threat, although the selection's stablemate Kinetic also commands plenty of respect on her hurdling bow.

He gives 10lb or 17lb all round but LIAM SWAGGER has shown easily the most in this sphere with his two wins.

(3) Springs A Girl 4/1, A fair bumper winner who put her hurdling debut mishap well behind her (when hooded) in causing an 80/1 shock in 11-runner novice at Stratford in October. Failed to back it up at Newbury since. Others more appealing.
80-1 maiden winner before outclassed latest; to be seen whether she can defy a penalty..

9/4(-38%)
(1) Either Way 9/4, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and stepped up on bumper efforts when making a winning hurdling debut at Uttoxeter last month, showing a willing attitude. Should go well under a penalty.
Just held on for hurdles debut win (2m); more needed, but longer trip a possible plus..

12:15 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

This step back up in trip should suit Queshi Bridge, who was last seen finishing a staying-on third over 2m4f at Perth in April. Having gone well fresh before, it will be no surprise if she is able to make her presence felt in a race like this. That said, EITHER WAY shades preference. Nicky Henderson's charge reappeared with a game victory over 2m on her hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and, tackling this distance for the first time, she gets the nod to bring up a double. Of Course You Can can also go well.

EITHER WAY showed a good attitude to make a successful hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and, while that wasn't a strong event, she can improve enough to defy a penalty. Queshi Bridge is an obvious player on return and Of Course You Can should give another good account.

Gently progressive last term, and with the absence no concern, QUESHI BRIDGE can get off the mark at last, ahead of Either Way.

12:27 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

A 179-day layoff worked the oracle for ANGEL'S DREAM when digging deep to repel reopposing rival Superstylin over C&D last month. A 5lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear insurmountable for the six-year-old and any improvement may see him follow up today. The aforementioned Superstylin merits respect racing off a 4lb higher mark, but a bigger threat may emerge from Smart Casual, who offered plenty to work with when finishing third on his chase bow at Hereford three weeks ago.

SMART CASUAL made a promising chasing debut when third at Hereford on return and looks the one to beat off the same mark with improvement forthcoming. There was little between Angel's Dream and Superstylin when first and second over C&D 3 weeks ago and they head the dangers.

A C&D rematch between Angel's Dream and SUPERSTYLIN, with the latter (raised 4lb) taken to gain his revenge on 1lb better terms.

12:40 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ROYSSE looked the most likely winner approaching two from home on his seasonal/hurdles debut, but he blew up a little near the finish and could only manage second. That performance was promising, though, and he can go one place better today with that outing under his belt. El Rayo finished a creditable third at Huntingdon last month and any improvement would bring him firmly into this, while Mistress Emma, who hasn't been seen since winning a Worcester bumper in June 2022, would be of interest should the market spoke in her favour.

ROYSSE went like he was as superior as the market suggested on his C&D hurdles bow only to give it away, possibly just blowing up on his first run in 10 months, and this looks a good opportunity for him to make amends. The potential fly in the ointment is Mistress Emma, who looked a decent prospect when winning a bumper in the summer of '22 but has been absent since.

El Rayo looks promising and is not passed over lightly but ROYSSE looks to have the edge judged on his two runs at Newbury.

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

NEON MOON produced a career best when scoring at Chepstow on his seasonal reappearance before making the frame in a deep race at Ascot and struggling in the Rehearsal at Newcastle. Easing in grade off 3lb higher than his last winning mark, he may prove tough to peg back in this company. Tightenourbelts arrives on the back of a taking victory at Exeter and he is respected off 3lb higher. Balkardy is capable if on a going day and shouldn't be underestimated.

TIGHTENOURBELTS jumped with aplomb when doubling his tally over fences at Exeter last month and, having been nudged up just 3 lb, Emma Lavelle's 7-y-o is fancied to go in again. The main threat may emerge from Neon Moon, who found the Rehearsal Chase too much at Newcastle recently but drops appreciably in grade here. The returning Christopher Wood can edge out Balkardy for third.

The safe play is Tightenourbelts but in new headgear a chance is taken on the wickedly unpredictable UNDERSUPERVISION.

13:02 Lingfield Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Smart Flat performer Miller Spirit scored with something in hand when making a winning hurdles debut over this track and trip 20 days ago and the son of Australia must enter calculations. However, WADE OUT's runner-up effort in a deeper event at Ascot last month looks the best form on offer and the five-year-old is slightly more compelling. What's One More receives 17lb from those two rivals, when taking her jockey's 3lb claim into account, and she could also feature if settling better.

Given the Flat form of MILLER SPIRIT, he's sure to leave behind the level achieved when a ready winner on hurdles debut over C&D 3 weeks ago, possibly to the extent that he improves beyond Wade Out, who is promising in his own right.

It isn't easy to choose between Miller Spirit and WADE OUT but, with substance to his Ascot form, Olly Murphy's charge is the pick.

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

Kintail has race-fitness on his side but he will need to improve having made a low-key chasing debut at Warwick last month, and preference is for HERAKLES WESTWOOD. The seven-year-old wasn't always foot perfect on his debut over fences at Taunton recently but he was still able to fill the runner-up spot, and that previous experience can be the difference today. Wrappedupinmay is another to consider.

Lots of potential on show here, not least from Paul Nicholls' WRAPPEDUPINMAY and he is taken to go in at the first time of asking from fellow chasing newcomer Mt Fugi Park who also rates an interesting prospect. Kintail could emerge as the pick of those with experience over fences and can also have a say in this intriguing contest.

Tricky. HERAKLES WESTWOOD and Kintail have the benefit of recent creditable runs over fences and are narrowly preferred.

13:25 Ludlow Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

The Kemble Brewery showed smart bumper form and impressed when justifying prohibitive odds at Ffos Las to bring up a hurdling double. Kim Bailey's bright prospect is evidently a novice hurdler very much on the up and another bold bid looks likely, although MEETMEBYTHESEA is narrowly preferred. He was the subject of market support when scoring over C&D on his Rules debut and, with the promise of more to come, he gets the vote to take the next step up the ladder. The others may have to go some to challenge the aforementioned pair, but Last Rodeo is fancied to fill the frame.

THE KEMBLE BREWERY has been going the right way over hurdles, making all for a ready success at Ffos Las last month, and he can go on to land the hat-trick with the potential of more still to offer. The main danger looks to be Meetmebythesea who made a winning start over hurdles over C&D, with Doctor Love the pick of the remainder.

The Kemble Brewery is a hard horse to knock but MEETMEBYTHESEA receives a handy 11lb with Callum Pritchard claiming 7lb.

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

Officer Of State was unable to justify a short price at Southwell last month when attempting to follow up on his earlier Fontwell triumph. The son of Golden Horn is now another 10lb higher and is respected, but TAMAR BRIDGE gets the nod. Olly Murphy's gelding returned from almost two years off the track to fill the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter in October and, if able to build on that display, a 3lb rise should be no barrier to success. Ring O Roses heads the remainder.

TAMAR BRIDGE showed no ill effects after a long absence when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time and can go one better now with that form having been franked. Guard Duty could emerge as the main danger to Olly Murphy's lightly-raced sort, with Ring O Roses the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Having looked ahead of his mark when winning at Fontwell last month, OFFICER OF STATE can win again. Tamar Bridge is next.

13:50 Newbury Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point winner BUCKNA caught the eye with a zestful second-placed finish on his Rules/hurdles debut over 2m at Ffos Las 28 days ago. Sure to be wiser and with the step up in a trip a source for improvement, the Warren Greatrex-trained four-year-old, who set connections back 350,000 pounds, looks a very bright prospect. Nativehill, another expensive recruit from the points scene, is another must for consideration starting out for a high profile yard. De Kingpin is also feared given his hurdles experience.

It will be an ominous sign for his rivals if NATIVEHILL is strong in the betting ahead of this Rules debut. The 6-y-o was last seen winning a maiden point in April 2023 but he's unlikely to be found wanting fitness-wise and is certainly bred for the job. Fellow point winner Buckna made a positive start in this sphere at Ffos Las and, with the promise of better to come now upped in trip, he looks a big threat. Captain Bellamy is also open to improvement and merits respect, too.

Buckna will surely be winning soon but the long-absent rules debutant NATIVEHILL has to be interesting for his notable connections.

14:00 Ludlow Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Venetia Williams has a good record at this track and newcomer PINK BREEZE hails from a family that the trainer knows well. A half-sister to the talented Cheltenham Festival runner-up Pink Legend, she is preferred to Harthope, who had Ninna Collina just behind her when second on debut at Fakenham. Blossom Tea has undergone wind surgery since not showing much at Warwick and she must also enter calculations.

A half-sister to 3 winners, HARTHOPE showed encouragement on debut when second of 3 at Fakenham last month and she can build on that effort to go one better. She can confirm the placings with Ninna Collina from when the pair met 29 days ago, while Pink Breeze is respected first time up with her yard continuing to go well.

A chance is taken on the newcomer PINK BREEZE who is certainly bred to be useful as a half-sister to multiple winner Pink Legend.

14:12 Lingfield Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

AWORKINPROGRESS has looked anything but since winning over hurdles at Fontwell in March. Nick Gifford's charge made a successful chasing bow on his seasonal return in October, before following up to complete a hat-trick at Lingfield last month. The form of that latest triumph looks solid, given that he pulled well clear with the runner-up, so a 8lb rise might not be beyond him. Eyed, who bolted up at Market Rasen last time out, looks to be the main threat, while Lazy Sunday finished a creditable third at Bangor in October and she is also noted.

AWORKINPROGRESS continues to go from strength to strength and should make a bold bid as he goes for the 4-timer. Eyed has made a positive start for Hughie Morrison and rates a serious threat, while Innisfree Lass remains capable of better in this sphere.

Preference is for AWORKINPROGRESS, who came clear with a bang-in-form runner-up over C&D last month to make it 2-2 over fences.

That was his first run for 11 months, so he's entitled to come on for it and this 5 lb higher mark is unlikely to be an issue.

14:25 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GENERAL MEDRANO made light work of what appeared to be a competitive event over this course and distance last month and, given that was just his second start after wind surgery, it is fair to assume the Emma Lavelle-trained gelding can launch a bold attempt to defy a 10lb higher mark today. Javert Allen made a winning debut over fences at Chepstow and is another must for consideration of just 5lb higher. Primoz is forwarded as the pick of the remainder.

JAVERT ALLEN looked a natural over fences on his first run for the best part of a year at Chepstow and, with the promise of better to come from this lightly-raced 5-y-o, he is taken to make it 2-2 in this sphere. General Medrano won as he liked over C&D recently and a 10 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold show from Emma Lavelle's representative. Bourbali is also likely to be on the premises.

Topweight GENERAL MEDRANO (nap) produced an excellent performance in a C&D handicap last month and is taken to overcome a 10lb rise.

14:35 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on three of his four starts since joining the Kerry Lee stable, CABHFUILFUNGI deserves a change in luck and he might get that on this occasion. The eight-year-old has jumped well on both tries over fences and may have too much for the hat-trick-seeking Famoso, who arrives on a career-high mark. Alcedo and Wewillgowithplanb have the ability to get involved in proceedings as well.

CABHFUILFUNGI has made a positive start to chasing and was only beaten at Uttoxeter last time by one that has gone in again, so he gets the marginal vote over Alcedo, who strikes as a fascinating chasing debutant for a yard that's flying. The likeable Famoso is also considered.

Kerry Lee's CABHFUILFUNGI (nap) has persuasive form claims after finishing second to subsequent winners in both his runs over fences.

14:47 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

A 3lb rise in the ratings for Jolie Baie's runner-up effort at Huntingdon 25 days ago shouldn't prevent another bold bid, while Warranty boasts a similar profile after finishing second just two days later at Kempton. However, it could be worth taking a punt on the stoutly-bred WOLFSPEAR now that he is stepped up in trip. The son of Fame And Glory could only muster a fifth-placed finish on his reappearance at Uttoxeter last month, but Olly Murphy's runners have been improving for their comebacks and this may prove to be the case once more.

Having won a brace of Salisbury handicaps in May, WARRANTY made a sound return to hurdling when runner-up at Kempton 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that effort may well see him go one place better. Wolfspear looks worth a go at this trip so he's a danger, along with Howaya Now.

The one with solid claims here is JOLIE BAIE (nap) who returned to her best when second at Huntingdon. Tigerbythetail is next best.

15:00 Newbury Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Densworth showed the benefit of his fifth-placed chase/seasonal bow at Aintree in October when scoring with ease at Wetherby the following month. The seven-year-old had a subsequent winner behind in third that day and he warrants respect, but Ben Pauling's inmate is effectively racing off a 19lb higher without Callum Pritchard's claim and BEAU BALKO is preferred. The son of Balko arrives on the back of a solid second at this venue and compensation may beckon off an unchanged mark. Saint Segal is also worth a second look for a yard in fine fettle.

It's likely that there is better to come from DENSWORTH over fences following his clear-cut Wetherby success and a 9 lb rise may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Beau Balko bumped into an improved model in General Medrano (runs in the 2.25 on this card) over this C&D last time and he is feared most ahead of The Edgar Wallace.

Densworth won so well last timer. His longer-term record prompts some caution, however, and BEAU BALKO looks a solid alternative.

15:10 Ludlow Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

ZESTFUL HOPE posted a much improved effort in first-time cheekpieces when touched off by an upwardly mobile rival at Uttoxeter and, with the headgear retained, a 3lb higher mark might not prevent the seven-year-old from going one place better. Chosen Templar has won over hurdles when fresh before and is a notable contender on his debut over the larger obstacles. Ask Brewster needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort here, but still rates a key player in this company.

ZESTFUL HOPE's second at Uttoxeter (when clear of the remainder) is comfortably the most compelling piece of recent form on offer and he's fancied to go one better at the possible expense of Ask Brewster, who has more to offer as a chaser if his jumping improves. Ex-pointer Chosen Templar is an interesting newcomer to this sphere.

Back down in trip and on a still workable mark, MOODOFTHEMOMENT is narrowly preferred to chasing debutant Chosen Templar.

15:22 Lingfield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TRUST HOUSE was value for further than the winning margin when making a winning handicap bow by a length and three-quarters at Leicester earlier this month. The four-year-old impressed with the way he travelled that day and a 7lb higher mark may prove to be on the lenient side. Snapius appreciated a drop in trip when finishing a close-up second over that same C&D 17 days ago. James Owen's inmate has been nudged up just 2lb in the ratings and he's feared most, ahead of fellow in-form rival Pyrotechnic.

TRUST HOUSE still looks ahead of his mark despite shouldering a 7 lb hike in the weights for his stylish Leicester victory so gets a confident vote. Both Snapius and Pyrotechnic arrive in good nick too and can chase home Olly Murphy's improver in that order.

A tricky finale. Trust House is respected but the recently hooded PYROTECHNIC, a runner-up over C&D last time, receives the vote.

15:35 Newbury NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Although unable to justify favouritism when runner-up on her racecourse debut at Stratford in October, Ride Like A Girl rates as the one to beat out of those with race experience. With that being said, there are some intriguing newcomers on show that could prove stronger in the shape of Yeld To Call, a half-sister to bumper winner Blue Carpet, and ARFURSGAL, with preference for the latter. Anthony Honeyball boasts a respectable strike-rate with his bumper runners at this venue over the past five years and sustained market support for his filly would increase confidence.

If the market speaks in her favour ARFURSGAL will be of strong interest for last year's winning yard with Sam Twiston-Davies booked. She shades preference ahead of Ride Like A Girl, who made a positive start to her career when runner-up at Stratford. Yeld To Call is third choice ahead of Chatty Girl.

Top of the list is YELD TO CALL for the in-form Jane Williams, who saddled a newcomer to win a junior bumper at Bangor last week.

15:45 Ludlow Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

SOLAR SYSTEM showed a game attitude when he landed a conditional riders' event at Warwick and simply encountered another progressive type when failing to justify cramped odds at Southwell subsequently. He was still well clear of the rest and looks worth another chance at this level. Sweet Street's Worcester chase success reads well in the context of this event and she is feared most back over hurdles. The reliable Melton Mossy also warrants serious thought.

SOLAR SYSTEM is on the up and was only denied by another improving sort at Southwell last time, so he's capable of getting back to winning ways. Melton Mossy also boasts a likeable profile and is feared most ahead of Thankyourluckystar.

Representing connections with such a good record in this race, FALCO DES PINS can exploit the drop in class, ahead of Solar System.

16:05 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

THE GLEN ROVERS put in his best work late on when scoring a shade comfortably in a deeper race over 1m3f here last month and he looks well capable of making light of a 6lb rise. Sir Geoff Hurst split two potentially useful sorts when runner-up over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle and a prominent showing on his handicap debut would come as no surprise. Moel Arthur's official rating continues to fall and his turn in the winner's enclosure might not be far away.

THREE DONS found the November Handicap a bit too much at Doncaster last time but he's back in much calmer waters returned to the AW and his strike-rate certainly cannot be knocked. The Glen Rovers can boast a progressive profile and lightly raced for his age, his limit may not have been reached, so he's feared most, ahead of Met Office.

The vote goes to Lucy Wadham's improver THE GLEN ROVERS, who made it 3-5 on AW when scoring here last month.

16:25 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CRYSTAL LUNA has yet to win in nine starts but has some useful form in maidens and ran well over C&D just last week. She was well held in eighth place behind Hasiyna here in early December but had been held up off the pace then and, having jumped smartly from the stalls last week, showed improved form. She seems ideally suited by 5f, Colin Keane again rides, and she can make use of her favourable inside draw. Hasiyna, who is drawn wide in 15, finished over two lengths behind I'm Spartacus here five days ago, although both horse's best form is over 6f.

A host in with chances but the vote goes to SAM'S XPRESS, who bounced back to form to take advantage of a much-reduced mark over C&D recently and remains well handicapped on old form following a 6 lb rise. I'm Spartacus, Crystal Luna and My Girl Sioux are just a handful of possible threats in a tricky opener to solve.

Lots of interlinking form and loads of these have chances. CRYSTAL LUNA probably produced her best run yet in a maiden here last week.

16:40 Kempton Maiden (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Godolphin appear to hold a strong hand and AEGEAN PRINCE looks the one to focus on. Charlie Appleby's son of Dubawi shaped with plenty of promise, despite being turned over at short odds, over 1m2f at Chelmsford on debut and with the promise of more to come, he gets the nod to score at the second time of asking. Tribal Act, a gelded son of Sea The Stars, looks the pick of the newcomers and can emerge as the main danger to his stable companion. Kentucky River completes the shortlist, for all that improvement will be required if he is to come out on top.

AEGEAN PRINCE is sure to step up on the level he achieved when third on debut at Chelmsford and he'll take some stopping unless the market suggests that stablemate and debutant Tribal Act is useful. Kentucky River is open to improvement so needs considering, too.

Blue Laced can progress again but AEGEAN PRINCE sets the standard and could take a step forward over this longer trip.

16:55 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AMBER BLOSSOM showed much improved form to win over C&D last month and can defy a 9lb hike. Out of a well-related winning dam, her initial form was poor but having then missed the break here last month, she finished her race powerfully and can continue to progress. Annie Lavinia finished third in that race and has a slightly more exposed profile so should struggle to turn the form around. Your Call, poorly drawn in 16, has run some inconsistent races but has shown ability and notably ran well on course debut last month, which suggests he will win on this surface soon, although he drops down in distance.

Plenty are in with a shout but ANNIE LAVINIA looks the way to go on the back of her excellent C&D third last time out. The handily-weighted Fairhaven heads the list of dangers with Your Call, Amber Blossom and Lyle The Crocodile all in the mix too.

Plenty to consider and TAM LIN was fourth here last time in the new blinkers and that despite a troubled passage.

17:10 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GLOBAL WARNING impressed when scoring a shade cosily at Lingfield and then shaped like he was still in good form, finishing third at Wolverhampton off this 2lb higher figure. He gets a tentative vote to return to winning ways in what looks a trappy affair. Dayman met with trouble in running when fourth last time and is respected most out of the remainder, although last week's Southwell runner-up Charlie Mason is also noteworthy.

CHARLIE MASON responded well to this headgear when runner-up at Southwell last week and should go well again off the same mark (due to go up 2 lb). Global Warning went close to following up his Lingfield win at Wolverhampton so must be respected, while Lahina Bay is well worth another try at this trip having been caught further back than ideal at Lingfield.

Although stall 12 isn't ideal CHARLIE MASON still looks the way to go after his good second at Southwell last week.

17:25 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CATCH THE PADDY was a real bargain buy for 3,500gns last October and might follow up a recent course success, being as yet unexposed on all-weather surfaces. Rated 92 on the turf last June prior to losing form, he bounced back when winning well over a mile here recently. Dropping in distance shouldn't inconvenience as he has prior form at this distance and it is notable that he has won and finished second from just three career all-weather tries. Both Clarita's wins have come over C&D and she won last month, but competes from a career-high rating. Apache Outlaw has won once over this C&D and also won here last month, but is slightly better over 6f.

Adrian McGuinness looks to hold a strong hand with CURRENT OPTION just about the most persuasive option having finished fourth in a blanket finish over 6f on Friday despite his rider dropping his whip close home. Stablemate Apache Outlaw is a big threat, along with veteran Harry's Bar.

Many with chances, slight preference being for recent C&D winner CLARITA, one of only a couple of 3yos in the race

17:40 Kempton Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Pearl Of Hope heads the list of those with experience and although well held in a Newmarket novice stakes on her debut in September, the daughter of Dubawi can play a leading role with a step forward. However, SANDIRELLA, a half-sister to French 1000 Guineas winner Mangoustine, boasts an attractive pedigree and is a most intriguing debutant for the Gosdens to introduce at this time of year. Glittering Surf is another interesting newcomer to monitor in the betting.

PEARL OF HOPE shaped as if better for the run in a Newmarket maiden in the autumn and this Dubawi filly can put her experience to good use up against interesting newcomers Sandirella and Glittering Surf.

The Gosden stable won this with a smart sort last year so perhaps SANDIRELLA can make a winning debut.

17:55 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MULLACASH BUZZ is a four-time C&D winner who should again compete well from his rating. Rated 69 at his peak, he is holding his form and having again run well over a mile here last month, should be better suited by dropping back to his favoured distance, with his same rider again claiming 7lb. It is interesting that Senado Square, who can sometimes be slowly away, is tried at this distance for the first time having won narrowly here five days ago, so has something to prove. Half Nutz hasn't won since 2022 and while he is a six-time winner whose rating has fallen recently, he has yet to score on the all-weather.

AMEMRI didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth here last time out so is fancied to capitalise on a lenient mark. Multiple C&D scorer Mullacash Buzz rates the chief threat, although recent course scorer Senado Square and the well-weighted Half Nutz are others who can have a say.

The filly AMEMRI will need to break better than here last time but she still finished upsides Mullacash Buzz who has live claims.

18:10 Kempton Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CASA DE SALINAS is an 80,000gns full-sister to a 7f juvenile winner on the all-weather and would be very noteworthy if she attracts support in the betting for her racecourse debut. Similar comments apply to Chinkara, who has stacks of potential in her pedigree and also has to be of high interest. Unex Texas and Zabeel Rain add further spice to what could be an informative maiden.

The Gosden yard has been cleaning up in similar events with newcomers in recent weeks and CHINKARA makes plenty of appeal before the all-important market clues. Zabeel Rain and Casa de Salinas are a couple of others to note on their first outings.

It's likely this will go to a newcomer, with CHINKARA getting the vote before betting clues are known.

18:25 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Nicola Burns has been making a good impression at Dundalk and her 7lb claim comes into play on DEVIL'S ANGEL. He should appreciate dropping back into the 47-65 grade where he acquitted himself well in October and November. Rattletheonionbag hasn't been beaten far in her last three handicaps over 6f at this track. On two of those occasions, she stayed on in the final furlong which bodes well for another try at 7f. Pink Oxalis finished fourth on her Polytrack/stable debut over further just under a fortnight ago. First-time cheekpieces are applied and she is a contender. Billy Lee is a notable booking for Reclaim, who is worth a market check.

PINK OXALIS travelled strongly when fourth on debut for this yard and, back in trip from an excellent draw, she's worth chancing to land this open-looking contest. Rattletheonionbag and Velvet Skies are two of several dangers.

Although still a maiden, RATTLETHEONIONBAG continues to knock on the door and she's been running on well over 6f.

18:40 Kempton Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HELM ROCK gained compensation for a Chelmsford near-miss when he landed a class 4 handicap at Southwell and won't need much of a step forward to follow up off just 3lb higher. Fast Society, who has won two of his three previous starts, is a must for a betting check on his handicap debut. Metallo has been highly tried and is an intriguing each-way option to consider. Kalamunda completes the shortlist.

HELM ROCK resumed winning ways in taking style at Southwell and can make light of a 3 lb rise. The returning Fast Society is firmly in the picture and Kalamunda completes the shortlist.

A useful contest. HELM ROCK looked to have a bit to spare when resuming winning ways at Southwell so a 3lb rise may not stop him.

18:55 Dundalk Stakes 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EMPRESS ARTEMIS certainly didn't go unbacked when making a winning debut in a fillies' maiden over C&D last month. After a tardy start, she travelled notably well and was strong at the finish. Wizard Of Odds shed his maiden tag for his previous trainer at Down Royal in July. Since then, he has had three outings for Stephen Thorne and ran well off the front when runner-up in a median auction race over 7f at this venue. Bishopton is going the right way and just went down by a neck on his first start over C&D for Natalia Lupini, while Joseph O'Brien runs three horses including Waterford Flow, a son of Ghaiyyath who is related to a couple of multiple winners.

EMPRESS ARTEMIS looked a good prospect when making a winning start in a C&D maiden last month and shades the vote over fellow penalised-winner Wizard of Odds. No Nay Never colt Cee En Gee looks the pick of the newcomers.

Empress Artemis and Wizard Of Odds are respected but preference is for BISHOPTON who shaped well on recent C&D yard debut

19:10 Kempton Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Unbeaten in two starts over C&D, FIRE DEMON may have disappointed when last in action at York in May but he has gone well fresh in the past. A mark of 93 still looks manageable and he gets the vote ahead of Ingra Tor, who was narrowly denied a double at Wolverhampton in October. Successful over 7f at Lingfield when showing plenty of pace, Havanagreattime may be suited by the drop in trip, while Aramis Grey and Sommelier cannot be ruled out either.

FIRE DEMON wasn't at his best when last seen on the turf 7 months ago but has an excellent AW record and is worth a chance to resume progress here. Last-time-out winner Havanagreattime is an obvious player and Aramis Grey should give her all as usual.

This looks highly competitive but the returning 3yo FIRE DEMON (nap) gets the vote ahead of Aramis Grey and Havanagreattime.

19:25 Dundalk Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

INTHESMALLHOURS has shown more than enough to suggest she can land a maiden. There was plenty to like about her debut fifth over a shorter trip last month and she progressed to be beaten half a length into second over C&D. Aird has been mixing in some decent handicaps and could go well on her first go on an all-weather surface. The 80-rated Radar Ahead was placed in all five turf starts for Joseph O'Brien. She has switched to Tom McCourt and makes her Polytrack debut, so is an intriguing runner. Santa Princess showed marked improvement when third in a fillies' maiden over C&D and that form was franked when the runner-up landed a maiden at this track.

AIRD has had quite a few chances but, having shaped better than the result in handicap company at the Curragh last time, she's worth chancing to belatedly open her account. Radar Ahead has strong claims based on the pick of her efforts for Joseph O'Brien and Inthesmallhours is capable of better still.

Perhaps RADAR AHEAD can make an immediate repayment for connections following her recent purchase out of Joseph O'Brien's

19:40 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MERRIMACK remains relatively unexposed on the all-weather and with Sean Levey booked again in the saddle, he looks the one to be with after a promising second at Chelmsford. Placed on each of his last two starts over C&D, Big R appears to be a key threat, as is Grenham Bay, who has dropped to a mark 4lb lower than his last success, which came over C&D in March. Completing the shortlist are Shalaa Asker and Zu Run.

MERRIMACK took a step back in the right direction when chasing home decisive winner Hiatus at Chelmsford recently and he could be the answer. He may have most to fear from Grenham Bay, who has been in good order this year and perhaps the first-time blinkers will help give him an added boost. Call Time and Zu Run are others to consider, along with Big R.

Having been in good form over C&D in the first half of the autumn, BIG R is taken to make a winning return to action.

20:00 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A very tricky handicap. Trishuli River has been a revelation over this trip and is very much an in-form filly. The handicapper has given her a hike of 11lb rise in her bid for a hat-trick, but she is still respected. JAZZ FOREVER has an each-way chance. The last time he visited Dundalk he won over this trip in April and, with his jockey's claim factored in, he races off 1lb lower than that winning mark. Hurricane Helen just lost out by a neck over C&D last month and looks poised for another big run. Rock Etoile tries a new trip but has been in decent nick over 1m, while Beauparc, Eighty Eight and Dancing Steve will all have their supporters.

The vote goes to BEAUPARC, who was a solid third on her all-weather debut in a C&D handicap in October and a 3 lb rise for that effort is fair enough. Hurricane Helen is a much-respected main danger on the back of her near-miss here, while Rock Etoile is also respected, along with the hat-trick seeking Trishuli River.

Trishuli River renews rivalry here with Eighty Eight but the pair may have to give best to BEAUPARC

20:10 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

BEAULD AS BRASS has run a couple of eyecatching races when staying on from off the pace since joining new connections, and stepping up to 1m3f looks like a good move. The four-year-old has dropped back to his last winning mark, which may be enough to help him see off Solanna, who was a highly encouraging third at Lingfield on his most recent outing. Major Major and The Pug are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

A chance is taken on MEISTERZINGER, who has failed to trouble the judge in two starts since returning from a lengthy absence last month and he has edged back to the mark off which he was successful over this C&D last June. Solanna is pretty consistent and is next on the list ahead of Major Major.

Although he's been a beaten favourite back on AW the last twice SOLANNA should have a win in him off this sort of mark before long.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
