11:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Dutch Kingdom improved to open his account over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last time but this drop back in trip may prevent a follow-up. Thapa VC has shown enough in recent starts to suggest he is a viable alternative but GRENHAM BAY, who is now 5lb below his last winning mark, is preferred having signalled a return to form with a second-placed effort over this trip at Southwell on his latest start.

GRENHAM BAY has slipped in the weights and bounced back to form when second at Southwell 12 days ago, doing well under the circumstances given he made his effort much further away from the rail than the winner, and he's definitely one to be interested in again now. Dutch Kingdom enhanced his good record on AW when scoring at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Thapa Vc.

Off a handy mark and with Oisin Murphy back on board, GRENHAM BAY gets the vote. Thapa Vc is second choice.

12:00 Lingfield Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A really competitive contest on the face of things, though an opening mark of 70 could be underestimating RAVENSBOURNE. Ed Walker's Dutch Art filly, a half-sister to a juvenile all-weather winner, has been crying out for this step up to 7f on the evidence of her three starts to date and could throw up some value, though the likes of All Agleam, Falling For You and John Steed have all shown enough to suggest they have a win in them at this level.

GREEN SIGMA responded well to this headgear when runner-up at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, doing well under the circumstances having been poorly placed, and is one to be interested in now. The Bitter Moose showed improved form when scoring on his AW bow at Wolverhampton so must be respected, with the likeable Bazball another to consider.

Marginal preference is for RAVENSBOURNE, ahead of All Agleam and Claxton Bay in a competitive-looking race.

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

REGAL RENAISSANCE can record a third course success despite encountering this extended 2m7f trip for the first time. Henry Daly's mare was ridden to both victories by Alice Stevens and a resumption of their unbeaten partnership could bring further success. Although clearly one of the stable's lesser lights, Nicky Henderson's Propelled could be the main danger despite being out of action for 249 days, while a market move for Shuil Ceoil on seasonal debut should be noted as this is the gelding's first venture into handicap company.

The vote goes to SHUIL CEOIL, who caught the eye in a race that's worked out well at Bangor in March and now goes handicapping from a potentially lenient mark over a trip he's bred to be suited by. Poppop may have more to offer as a stayer, while Regal Renaissance should give another good account.

Course regular REGAL RENAISSANCE is trying a new trip but she's downgraded from better races and Alice Stevens takes off 6lb.

None of those with racing experience look any great shakes so it should pay to concentrate on the newcomers. Amiwithani and Last Empress are related to a host of winners and have plenty going for them along with Etlalah, but it's KALEIDOSCOPE who really catches the eye on pedigree being a daughter of Kingman out of Group 1 Cheveley Park winner Lightening Pearl.

SEA ICE came on plenty for her debut when third at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago, beaten only by a couple of above-average prospects, and she can put her experience to good use up against some interesting newcomers, including stablemate Kaleidoscope and the well-bred Etlalah.

Preference is for MALINKA who should leave her Newmarket effort behind. Kaleidoscope and Etlalah complete the shortlist.

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

Marginal preference is for ISSAM. Tom Symonds' gelding ended his last campaign with a victory at Exeter in March and he was not disgraced when third on his return at Sandown last month. With the benefit of that outing, the five-year-old could be hard to stop. Cases can be made for all of the remainder but Barrichello is the pick of them, while three-time hurdle winner Lebowski is noted too.

ISSAM got his act together for his current yard towards the end of last season and, having shaped much better than the bare result (led on bridle before 2 out) on his return at Sandown last month, he's put forward as the answer for a yard which has been showing more positive signs. Molly Ollys Wishes beat all bar a progressive one on her most recent outing at Wetherby and is feared most ahead of Foster'sisland, who should be spot on following his Carlisle reappearance.

The withdrawal of Molly Ollys Wishes puts ISSAM at the top of the list, followed by Foster'sisland.

12:50 Ludlow Claiming Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

The form of IDDERGEM's three-length victory over Laser Focus in a Stratford selling hurdle has a very moderate look about it but it could certainly hold the key to this contest. Both geldings are fitted with cheekpieces for the first time but as the winner was returning from a 464-day absence at Stratford, he is taken to confirm the form and complete a double. Tip Top Tonto has pulled up on his two latest outings but if the application of blinkers has the desired effect, then he could easily go close in what looks a modest contest.

IDDERGEM had something to spare when landing a seller at Stratford last month and all of his rivals have questions to answer in one way or another, so he's an obvious choice. Uncle Arthur is a threat if he can see the race out better and Tip Top Tonto can feature if blinkers have a positive effect.

The only runner with no glaring questions to answer is IDDERGEM who fairly readily repelled Laser Focus at Stratford.

Completed has been narrowly denied on both of her previous outings and merits the utmost respect once again. That said, marginal preference is for FAIR POINT, who put in a promising display when third on her debut at Newmarket a month ago and the daughter of Farhh should only benefit from that experience. Friendly Soul is a half-sister to three Group 1 winners and has to be of interest on her racecourse bow as a result.

FAIR POINT showed plenty to work on faced with difficult conditions when third on debut at Newmarket 32 days ago and she shades the vote to build on that and score now. Completed has shown enough herself to think a race of this nature is within her grasp and is a serious threat. Friendly Soul and Windcrack are newcomers to note.

An interesting race in which FAIR POINT gets the vote ahead of Completed and the Gosdens' striking newcomer Friendly Soul.

PERSONAL AMBITION readily accounted for the subsequent Newbury winner Jingko Blue on his Rules debut at Warwick a month ago and Ben Pauling's gelding clearly sets the standard based on that evidence. Lump Sum had plenty in hand when scoring on his hurdling bow recently and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Spirits Bay and Helnwein.

LUMP SUM barely came out of first gear when easing to a wide-margin success on hurdling debut at Ffos Las and he's worth chancing to go in again for all that this is much tougher. Personal Ambition is a big danger and Spirits Bay should make his presence felt in what looks a fascinating contest on paper.

Choosing between these highly promising sorts is not easy but PERSONAL AMBITION is narrowly preferred to Spirits Bay.

HIDDEN HEROICS was still in contention when falling at the last fence at Ascot on his latest outing and is taken to gain compensation here, although his four wins under Rules have all been on ground no worse than good to soft and any worsening in conditions may temper enthusiasm. The Venetia Williams yard is in fine form at present so despite a disappointing return to action at Carlisle, Laskalin's prospects of repeating last year's victory in this race must be respected off only a 3lb higher handicap mark.Taste The Fear was running creditably in the spring but is returning after wind surgery and a 228-day absence.

LASKALIN won this last year off 3 lb lower and is expected to make another bold bid having taken a step back in the right direction at Carlisle on his return. Dreaming Blue has dropped to a decent mark and should come on for his return, while Hidden Heroics was in the process of running well falling at the last at Ascot recently.

A competitive handicap. Hidden Heroics is feared but FANTASTIKAS will surely come good again sooner or later off his tumbling mark.

LAKOTA SIOUX was a Group 3-winning juvenile and, while she has not matched that level subsequently, her most recent fifth in a Listed race suggests that a mark of 96 should be workable. The unexposed Whispering Words was disappointing on turf at Newmarket last time but it is far too soon to be writing her off. Julia Augusta was only beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton recently and is another to consider.

An interesting affair with the vote in favour of 3-y-o OH SO GRAND. She impressed when resuming winning ways at Newcastle on her latest outing in October, the way she travelled/quickened suggesting there's more races to be won with her, and a 6 lb rise looks fair. Julia Augusta shaped well over 1m at Kempton latest and this step up in trip shouldn't inconvenience her on that evidence. The likeable Prenup and Whispering Words complete the shortlist.

Top of the list is OH SO GRAND (nap), who made it 3-6 when scoring in good style at Newcastle in October and is open to more progress.

BOB BOB RICARD showed ability in bumpers and the five-year-old can be given another chance here, having been a beaten favourite on his hurdling debut over 2m3f at Wetherby in October. Theformismighty was well held on his Rules bow at Aintree recently but the former winning pointer should not be underestimated now upped in trip, while Monbari remains open to improvement.

BOB BOB RICARD produced a promising first effort over hurdles before his lack of experience arguably caught him out when runner-up in novice company at Wetherby (19.7f) 7 weeks ago. Entitled to have derived a good deal from that, he gets the nod to go one place better. Howaya Now edges things for the forecast spot ahead of Monbari.

The withdrawal of Howaya Now puts BOB BOB RICARD at the top of the list. Monbari is second choice.

The Henry Daly-trained maiden MILTIADES is taken to gain his first career success following a promising comeback when third to Supasunrise at Warwick last month. He came to challenge the winner at the second-last fence before weakening on the run-in to finish third and has now been placed on all three runs over fences. Martalmix'jac had Time To Bite eight lengths back in third when winning at Stratford in early October but a 9lb pull in the weights may be enough for the latter to turn the tables.

MILTIADES is still low mileage over fences and should be spot on after a solid reappearance at Warwick last month. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Time To Bite and Martalmix'jac should also go well.

The most appealing claims belong to MILTIADES (nap) who threatened turning in at Warwick and was eased considerably on the run-in.

Intervention and Sterling Knight both merit the utmost respect on the back of recent victories over 7f at Wolverhampton, but a chance can be taken on ARATUS. Clive Cox's five-year-old has only been seen twice so far this year and took a big step forward from his first start when second over this trip at Kempton a month ago. Any further progression would give him a big chance in a race of this nature.

STERLING KNIGHT passed them all from the rear to win well at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and, given he remains unexposed at the trip, a 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. Mitrosonfire and Aratus head the opposition.

5yo ARATUS was a good second with a hood added in a Class 2 at Kempton last month and he gets the vote ahead of Sterling Knight.

Comfortable Chepstow scorer The King Of Ryhope and Blue Fin, who shaped well on his chase debut at Carlisle, are expected to go well, but a chance if taken on HAPPY AND FINE. The dual hurdles scorer also shaped with plenty of promise on his fencing bow at Wetherby and might just appreciate this extra yardage. He has been a different horse since the cheekpieces were applied.

HURLERONTHEDITCH had the race at his mercy when coming to grief at the last on his return/chase debut at Warwick 4 weeks ago. An effort containing abundant promise on the whole, that hasn't gone unnoticed by the assessor, but he still makes plenty of appeal in his bid to gain compensation. Fellow last-time-out winner The King of Ryhope is a big threat however, ahead of Blue Fin.

Preference is for THE KING OF RYHOPE (nap) who impressed with his win at Chepstow. Hurlerontheditch is second choice.

GREYVAL struggled to get into the race behind Knickerbockerglory at Ascot on her seasonal reappearance but with the benefit of that run under her belt and a 2lb drop in her handicap mark, she is taken to triumph in a race that represents a drop in grade. Galice Macalo is reverting to hurdles, a tactic which last season saw her record a 10-length Chepstow victory, and her front-running style could easily set up the race for the selection, who is normally ridden with restraint. The Jamie Snowden yard is currently in great form and an improved effort from Obsessedwithyou after a below-par run at Taunton would come as no surprise.

GREYVAL proved herself a fairly useful performer when winning twice last season and shaped well enough on her seasonal comeback at Ascot, so is fancied to resume winning ways with race fitness now on her side. Galice Macalo has been in good form over fences this season and is respected reverting to the smaller obstacles, with Magical Maggie taken to complete the placings.

Topweight GALICE MACALO wouldn't want to get in an early battle with Obsessedwithyou but she has a lot going for her otherwise.

MISTRESS LIGHT has taken a while to find herself but recent starts suggest that she is beginning to do just that, and her runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last month appeals as the strongest form on offer. The three-year-old can get off the mark at the sixth time of asking, with the experienced Queensland Boy and Shaheen Saqaar, who ran a promising race at Chelmsford latest, looking best placed to chase her home.

QUEENSLAND BOY was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth at Wolverhampton 19 days ago and remains low mileage after just 8 starts, so he's an appealing candidate. Mistress Light and Shaheen Saqaar are considered the main threats.

This can go to the progressive 3yo MISTRESS LIGHT, who was a clear second behind a well-backed favourite at Wolverhampton last time.

Last month's Huntingdon winner CHRIS COOL is still fairly treated on old form and may be able to follow up. Shoeshine Boy and Artic Mann rate the principal dangers.

This trip and ground might prove just the ticket for JASMIWA now that she has a run under her belt. Chris Cool looks the next best.

In a race where chase form is at a premium, LIVELY CITIZEN is taken to get back to winning ways after his reappearance in a competitive Aintree handicap. Prior to that he had won at Perth on his chase debut and races off only a 3lb higher mark now. Steppenwolf, who represents the in-form Gavin Cromwell yard, has only completed once in his latest four chases but has to be respected on his placed form in handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick. Four-year-old chasing debutant Jolly Nellerie is another likely improver from an in-form yard to consider in a tricky contest.

This could go the way of Irish challenger STEPPENWOLF, who made a successful handicap hurdle debut and can also make a winning start in handicap chases. The 5-y-o has shown some promise over fences and can take a step forward to get the better of Dr T J Eckleburg, who is on a workable mark based on his hurdles form. Doyouknowwhatimean is also considered.

Irish raider STEPPENWOLF contests his first handicap over fences and he's Gavin Cromwell's only runner on the card.

MARY SHOELACES was just outgunned by an in-form horse in the closing stages over C&D last week, but finished well clear of the remainder. Wesley Joyce rode the horse that beat her and comes in for the ride. His 5lb claim is valuable in this race. Mint Man ran a stormer off the front at 50/1 when beaten a neck over 6f here last month, and is drawn to attack again. Branding had several subsequent winners behind him when third in a Naas maiden in July and could be lively on his Polytrack debut. Sorrento Sky showed plenty when runner-up on debut over 7f in November. This is a marked drop in trip and he is drawn widest of all, but his chance is respected. Woohoo could build upon a debut third over C&D and gets first-time blinkers while newcomer Ecoutez Bien is well worth a market check.

Having won a barrier trial here in September, SORRENTO SKY went close to making a successful Rules debut here 3 weeks ago and dropped to the minimum trip, Gavin Cromwell's colt is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Branding, who makes his all-weather debut after a couple of fair turf efforts back in the summer. Mary Shoelaces and Mint Man can fight out minor honours.

MINT MAN(nap) has been gelded since last time and turns out again relatively quickly but has plenty of pace and could make all.

Now that the penny has dropped for MOORGATE after a taking success over further here last month, there should be more to come from the son of Mastercraftsman. He can uphold form with Darlo Pride (second), who has gone in since at Chelmsford, while Suanni has a 3lb rise to overcome for scoring at the same venue last time out. Big Time Maybe and Street Parade cannot be ruled out either.

DARLO PRIDE is thriving at present and is taken to make it 3 wins from his last 4 starts. Street Parade is too well handicapped to ignore and will be dangerous if getting a sound gallop to chase. Rhubarb completes the shortlist in an opening-looking finale.

The vote goes to 3yo DARLO PRIDE, who has form figures of 22121 since the end of August and is open to more improvement.

A chance is taken on SAM BROWN, who will love these conditions and was going well in the lead when falling two out at Punchestown in April. The veteran showed on that occasion that there is still a bit left in the tank, and returning to a track where he was runner-up in a Peter Marsh is another plus. Good Boy Bobby is the form horse, having won both starts this season, while The Galloping Bear is another capable type.

GOOD BOY BOBBY has clearly relished the drop into the calmer waters of veteran events and is taken to complete the hat-trick given the manner of his win at Sandown. Sam Brown is a potential threat with blinkers re-fitted, while Nestor Park should be thereabouts again.

While Good Boy Bobby could still have plenty of mileage in his handicap mark, THE GALLOPING BEAR may be seen in a positive light.

WHAT'S ONE MORE made an encouraging debut when third to Let It Rain in a Warwick bumper 28 days ago and Emma Lavelle's filly can show the benefit of that experience to score here. Held up in the early stages, she ran on well without ever threatening to get to Dan Skelton's impressive winner and that run should have brought her on. Ted's Gift ran well when chasing home subsequent dual winner Olivers Travels at Worcester in June but Jonjo O'Neill's charge has been off the course since and a greater danger may be Nicky Henderson's Jim De Sarti, who carries a 4lb penalty for winning a 1m6f bumper in France in April.

Though she may have hinted at temperament pre-race, WHAT'S ONE MORE still showed plenty of ability when third at Warwick 4 weeks ago and sure to have derived plenty from that initial effort, Emma Lavelle's filly gets the nod at the expense of French-recruit Jim de Sarti, who was last seen winning in April and must be respected having joined a top stable. Newcomers Celtic Sea and Strong As Steel can fight out third spot.

Jim De Sarti could be too good for these but LIGHTNINGUPOURDAYS showed enough at Bangor to edge preference.

MAY NIGHT enjoys racing on all-weather surfaces and, if he runs near to his mark of 84, could take a bit of beating at these weights. He posted three victories at Wolverhampton and another three in Kempton and it is reasonable to assume that he will relish his first visit to Dundalk. Notforalongtime was only headed close home in a C&D handicap in November which is solid form in the context of this race. Monzoon has questions to answer after disappointing on his last start, however, he showed what he can do when routing the field in a claimer over 1m at this track on his penultimate outing. Chica Power was a comfortable winner of a claimer over C&D in October which gives her claims while Knockmore Prince has been placed four times in Dundalk and can get in the mix for Noel Meade and Danny Sheehy.

MONZOON was unable to land a blow on debut for new connections here last month but had taken a similar contest here previously and gets the nod. Notforalongtime and Eighty Eight are others to consider in a tricky-looking event.

This looks open. A tentative vote goes to NOTFORALONGTIME who has four AW wins to his name including two at this venue.

Ger Lyons' horses have been in terrific form in the Winter Series at Dundalk with three winners and two runners-up from his last six runners, so SERIOUS NOTIONS looks a likely sort for the trainer. This 93-rated filly put in an excellent effort in third behind two very useful fillies in Listed company at Leopardstown in September. She is one to look forward to on Polytrack debut. British-raider Finbar Furey holds a mark of 95 and wasn't beaten far into fourth in the Group 3 Horris Hill Stakes at Newmarket last month. His chance has to be taken very seriously. Bergamasco is maturing and got off the mark at the fifth time of asking. He is proven over further which will help if this becomes a battle. Port Augusta stayed on well to get up a neck on debut over 6f at this track. The extra furlong shouldn't pose a problem, so he is a player.

SERIOUS NOTIONS' third in listed company at Leopardstown 88 days ago is the best piece of form on show and she's worth a chance to open her account back down in grade. Finbar Furey also arrives on the back of a good effort in better company, so he's regarded as the main danger ahead of Bergamasco.

This looks like a good opportunity for SERIOUS NOTIONS, whose Listed third at Leopardstown has been well advertised by the runner-up

ARISAIG ran out an impressive winner on her debut at Chelmsford and was far from disgraced when pitched in at Listed level at Deauville last time. Although having to concede weight all round, she sets a good standard and is very much the one to beat. State Flag also brings some decent form to the table and she warrants respect, while D Flawless is an interesting newcomer from the John and Thady Gosden yard.

ARISAIG looked above average when making a winning start at Chelmsford in October and, despite an unsuccessful venture to France since, she's capable of doubling her tally faced with an easier task. D Flawless is worthy of respect for top connections, while State Flag can probably do better.

Preference is for STATE FLAG, representing last year's winning stable, who has shown a nice bit of ability in both her runs.

DREAM TICKET lost out by the minimum margin over 7f last month and could pick up compensation here. She has placed form over this trip on the sand and goes to work from a lovely low draw. Seti took to the Polytack when running on well to deliver by half a length over 7f at the end of last month. Robert Whearty retains the ride and his 5lb claim lessens the burden of the top weight. Amerigo Vespucci competes from out of the handicap, but was just half a length behind Dream Ticket in third in that aforementioned race after attracting plenty of support. He is likely to be putting in good late work again. Sumptuary Law, Centuria and Cool Dan are others to factor into calculations.

There should be more to come from SUMPTUARY LAW and she may be able to strike at the first time of asking in handicap company. Dream Ticket and Centuria head the list of dangers.

Touched off here a fortnight ago, DREAM TICKET has improved for the switch to handicap company on this surface and can go one better

Hard to rule anything out of this but KODIAC THRILLER could throw up some value. Charles Hills' colt split second-placed Western and sixth-placed Honest Desire when fourth in a messy race over C&D on his handicap debut but the way he picked up in the closing stages suggested he was the one to take out of the race. Free As A Bird looks potentially well treated off a mark of 66 for her handicap bow and could also go well.

WESTERN improved when runner-up over C&D a month ago and has the scope to do better still, so he takes marginal preference over Honest Desire, who finished well from a poor position in the same race last time. Kodiac Thriller is also of interest and some sort of case can be made for all of the others.

Western is no good thing to confirm recent course placings with KODIAC THRILLER or Honest Desire.

Michael O'Callaghan's Darkdeserthighway was just a neck behind Pierre Lapin in fifth over C&D and Colin Keane, who was on board when he won on his penultimate start, gets the leg up again. O'Callaghan's Rockbury Lad is another arriving on the back of a respectable fourth, but that was over 7f. He was winning form over 1m in Dundalk, though, and it isn't hard to see him featuring. Not Just Yet, with in-form James Ryan on board, and ex-British racer Oriental Dancer are others with chances while second-reserve Morning Approach kept on nicely to win over C&D last month.

PIERRE LAPIN shaped well from an unpromising position over C&D last month and, with cheekpieces back on, he's worth a chance to capitalise on a handy mark. Stablemates Rockbury Lad and Darkdeserthighway also make appeal.

Now 13lb lower than winning here 14 months ago PIERRE LAPIN appeals in this grade despite a profile as a frustrating type

17:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Asimov, a staying on sixth in a 7f Newmarket maiden first time out, looks the pick of those to have already raced but it's hard to look beyond beautifully-bred Godolphin newcomer EL CORDOBES. The son of Frankel changed hands for a cool 2,000,000gns as a yearling and could prove a cut above, although Charlie Appleby has had a few turned over at short prices recently. Sardinian Warrior, out of a Group 1-winning dam, is another debutant to note.

This could go to a newcomer, with preference for EL CORDOBES who makes plenty of appeal on paper and can provide Charlie Appleby with another first-time-out winner. Sardinian Warrior is also one to note on debut, while Kamboo made a promising start at this C&D 3 weeks ago and is the pick of those with experience.

He could be better drawn but EL CORDOBES fetched a cool 2,000,000gns as a yearling and this doesn't look a strong novice.

THERIVERRUNSDEEP put in her best effort for some time when beaten half a length into second over C&D last month. She was very well supported that day which gives hope that she can back it up. Although she has gone up 6lb, she is still on lowly mark. Senado Square runs under the 7lb penalty after obliging over the minimum trip last Friday. He has form over 6f and has to be respected on what is likely to be his last outing before a wind operation. It wouldn't be a surprise to see James Henry get his turn. He has finished runner-up in his last two outings over 7f and the drop back in trip could see him home. You wouldn't want to be ruling out Cholita, with champion jockey Colin Keane up, and the game No Speed Limit.

JAMES HENRY has been knocking on the door of late and should go well again. Theriverrunsdeep and Senado Square head the dangers.

Having been runner-up the last twice here over 7f, JAMES HENRY could get off the mark today dropped to this trip.

An astronomical purchase at the sales last year, KALIDASA arrives with a lofty reputation being a son of Frankel out of a So Mi Dar mare, who has produced some top class performers in recent years. He can take this en route to better things, although fellow newcomer Fighter Command looks a big danger, along with Cool Legend, who should improve for a promising debut over C&D last month. Immortal Knight and Mina Rashid can also have a say in proceedings.

KALIDASA could barely possess a stronger pedigree and Charlie Appleby's newcomer is fancied to make a winning start to his career. Mina Rashid sets the standard amongst those with form in the book, whilst the Gosdens' Fighter Command and Roger Varian's Immortal Knight are other appealing debutants.

This could go to a newcomer with Charlie Appleby's Frankel colt KALIDASA, who fetched 2,800,000gns as a yearling, getting the verdict.

There looks like there will be plenty of pace on in this contest and an each-way chance is taken on POET'S PRIDE. David Marnane's charge is capable of being played from the off the pace and is just 1lb higher in the weights than when he won over C&D in February. Connections have enlisted Seamie Heffernan for the first time on Jazzy Dancer and the pair have definite claims. This five-year-old gelding has been placed on his last two visits to Dundalk while Might And Mercy has been sliding down the weights and showed more spark when fourth over 7f last month. She is on a dangerous mark. Iva Batt was claimed by Keith Watson after finishing fourth over 7f at this venue in October. She has the ability to get involved in the distribution of prize money.

MIGHT AND MERCY has fallen a long way in the weights and could be ready to strike having taken a clear step back in the right direction when fourth at this venue 2 weeks ago. Jazzy Dancer and Iva Batt are a couple of potential threats.

It could be worth taking a chance on REINFORCE who has run well in maidens here lately on both starts for this yard.

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash over C&D between Twirling (third) and THROUBI (fifth), when the latter appeared a shade unlucky having to wait for room before staying on strongly at the finish. She can reverse the form and get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Flindrikin improved from her first to second start when third at Newcastle last month and she is also entitled to be thereabouts.

Impressive when scoring on debut here earlier in the year, TWIRLING produced a promising comeback effort when third over C&D 4 weeks ago and, remaining with potential, she's fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Throubi caught the eye when finishing behind the selection back fron a long time off and rates the chief threat, ahead of Flindrikin from the William Haggas stable.

Preference is for THROUBI who really caught the eye when a running-on fifth over C&D after an absence and can open her account.

A cracking race for the grade. Ger Lyons' FAIRYTALE PRINCESS is moving through the ranks with some purpose and is taken to bring up her hat-trick. She has been really enjoying herself on Polytrack in winning three of her last four including twice over this trip. Satono Chevalier's two victories over 1m4f at this track in February earned him a shot at a valuable apprentice handicap on the All Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield in April, and he was only beaten just over a length and a-half into fifth. If fully wound up on his return, he would be a significant threat. Limestone Red's C&D success was boosted when the runner-up came out and scored last Friday. Final Check, Storm Eric, Walhaan and Spy add plenty of spice to the mix.

Plenty of in-form sorts including FINAL CHECK who showed further improvement for the step up in trip when making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts at Newcastle 33 days ago and all looks set fair for another bold showing. Fairytale Princess is another thriving filly and she's feared. Limestone Red and Walhaan can also feature.

Perhaps SPY could bridge the 2l deficit with Walhaan from last time now that the latter is 6lb higher.

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

A tentative vote goes to NOBLE SOVEREIGN, who was an highly-encouraging second over C&D on her penultimate start and now makes her first start for the shrewd David Loughnane stable. A mark of 68 on her handicap debut looks manageable and she can see off the steadily-improving Daydream Express and Elladonna, who wasn't beaten far the last twice and should be suited by dropping back in trip. Others to note include Aussi Mandate, Creme Chantilly and Platinum Jubilee.

ELLADONNA improved when fourth at Wolverhampton on her latest outing, edged out close home having made her effort earlier than ideal, so she can build on that to make a winning handicap debut. Daydream Express is also open to further progress and could be the main danger, with Lady Mojito completing the shortlist.

James Fanshawe's progressive ELLADONNA caught the eye when fourth in a Wolverhampton novice and can make a winning start in handicaps.

19:30 Kempton Listed (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MAJESTIC PRIDE remains unexposed and was only beaten a length into fourth at this level when last seen in May. The son of Shamardal has been gelded subsequently and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways here. Al Mubhir has filled third place in this grade on two of his last three starts and he can go well once again, while Tempus edges out Grey's Monument to be best of the rest.

This can go to POSITIVE IMPACT, who has won both his starts on this surface and arrives on the back of a personal best at Chelmsford last month. Al Mubhir and Tempus are feared most.

A good few with chances but MAKINMEDOIT should have a part to play if getting a strong pace to aim at back over 1m.

THE GRAND VISIR has faced some stiff tasks since finishing third off a 2lb higher mark over 2m at the Ascot's Shergar Cup meeting in August. The veteran can be unpredictable but he is more than capable of winning a race of this nature if on a going day. Sir Chauvelin has to be of interest having accounted for a number of these when winning over C&D four weeks ago, while Sleeping Lion and Duty Of Care complete the shortlist.

MELAKAZ enhanced his fine record on AW when scoring over C&D in July and remains on a workable mark. He gets the nod in what looks a highly competitive contest. Duke of Oxford and Sir Chauvelin head the list of dangers.

Plenty are in with a shout but C&D scorers Melakaz and BLAZEON FIVE have much to recommend them and could hold sway.

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

PAGE THREE put in a career-best effort when beaten a neck into second over C&D a month ago and Andrew Balding's filly could get off the mark now just 1lb higher in the ratings. The unexposed Story Horse was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and is an obvious threat, while Absolute Queen and Royal Dream are others to consider.

Several with sound claims here, though GENTLE WHINNY makes most appeal on the back of an encouraging effort over C&D last month. Royal Dream is a player from the same mark as when second at Lingfield less than a fortnight ago, with Ocean Heights, who promises to benefit from the longer trip, narrowly taken to complete the placings over Absolute Queen and Geelong.

Low-mileage GENTLE WHINNY (nap) made a promising AW start when fifth over C&D and that form is really strong.

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.
