13:23 Bath (Class 6) 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (11/4 -38%) Tazaman	2.75 11/4(-38%)	(1) Tazaman 11/4, Ran about to best when winning over 12f at Leicester by 1/2l off a mark of 54. Stays well; looks ideally suited by fast ground. Should go well. Resumed winning ways in similar contest at Leicester (1m4f); 5lb higher, back up in trip..
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 +0%) Breccia	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Breccia 7/1, Back from hurdling and ran close to form when beaten 9l at Salisbury over 1m6f. This longer trip should suit. Will probably act on fast ground should conditions get firmer. Selling hurdle winner; encouragement to be drawn from latest Salisbury effort (fifth)..
3	6 3rd (6) (13/8 +35%) Wannabeawallaby	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(6) Wannabeawallaby 13/8, Third and beaten 5¼l in a 1m6f handicap at Yarmouth, running to about his mark. Will stay up in distance and appears effective on any surface. Major player. Went close when runner-up over 1m6f here in April; reasonably consistent since; 2m1f fine..
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 -11%) Cherry Cola	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Cherry Cola 5/1, Well below form this season and most recently beaten 18l into fourth over 1m6f at Yarmouth. Should stay up in trip but needs to recapture 2024 Flat form. 8lb lower than when winning Class 6 here (1m6f) in September 2023; low key so far in 2025.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 -10%) Bye Bye Salam	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Bye Bye Salam 11/1, Faded late after racing prominently when beaten 10l in a 12f handicap at Chepstow. Still unproven over this trip or on quick ground and official mark still needs to come down. Down the field at Chepstow (1m4f) a fortnight ago; stamina reserves untested beyond 1m4f..
6th	8 6th (8) (50/1 -150%) Uther Pendragon	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Uther Pendragon 50/1, Beaten 6l in a 12f classified race at Lingfield last time. Stays this longer trip and is consistent at a low level, though winless in 28 races. Low-key return in May, and fared only slightly better at Lingfield (1m4f AW) latest..
7th	7 7th (7) (17/2 +29%) Armathia	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(7) Armathia 17/2, Struggled again when well beaten in a novice over 12f at Southwell. Has shown only minor promise - in bumpers - and is yet to offer anything on the Flat. Handicapping over more suitable trip but only of interest if the market speaks favourably..

TAZAMAN posted a couple of solid efforts on the all-weather before making a return to the winner's enclosure at Leicester latest. Kevin Frost's gelding defeated a progressive rival that day and, if turning up in a similar vein of form today, a 5lb rise is unlikely to be any barrier to further success. Breccia was well beaten into fifth over 1m6f at Salisbury last month but that effort wasn't without promise and returning to further should suit. Wannabeawallaby heads the remainder.

Slight preference is for the consistent WANNABEAWALLABY, who could finally have his day in the hands of the capable Morgan Cole.

13:30 Sandown (Class 3) 9f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (6/4 +67%) Gladius	1.5 6/4(+67%)	(1) Gladius 6/4, Promising 1m debut winner on AW before second to very promising type at Salisbury (10f, good to firm); shaped there as if this 9f may suit better; fair opening mark; potential improver. Twice-raced colt who may benefit from this drop back in trip; still open to progress.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/4 +30%) Watching Stars	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(2) Watching Stars 7/4, Right back to his best 2yo form when second at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) last time; form is working out well and 4lb rise is fair; big player if in same form at 9f now. Ran well at Newmarket last time and that form is working out nicely; possibilities.
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 +45%) Man Of La Mancha	3 3/1(+45%)	(8) Man Of La Mancha 3/1, Well-backed when handicap debut winner at Windsor before creditable third at Nottingham when race didn't go his way; well worth considering. Ran creditably under a penalty last time; upped in grade but remains unexposed.
4	10 4th (10) (28/1 -40%) Dalmally	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Dalmally 28/1, Closed out last year with 1m maiden win; two fair runs this season; the drop back to 9f may well help but something to prove on the face of it. Goes into unknown territory upped two grades, having raced only in Class 5.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -200%) Carron	33 33/1(-200%)	(9) Carron 33/1, Reappearance winner on AW (around 7f) in April before down the field upped to 1m on turf latest; hampered there, which didn't help; needs a career-best but very lightly raced. Hindered by traffic issues last time and may yet build on his reappearance win.
6th	3 6th (3) (28/1 -155%) Sky Advocate	28 28/1(-155%)	(3) Sky Advocate 28/1, Useful maiden who made promising reappearance at Goodwood (1m) last month; needs more but may well be sharper now; each-way shout. Five-race maiden; proving consistent but isn't a certain stayer over this trip.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 -83%) Caledonian	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Caledonian 33/1, Probably needed it when fair fourth upped to 10f on last month's reappearance; 7f AW winner last season; 9f stamina to prove and needs a career-best in any case. 7f winner who has more to prove over this trip than others in this field.

WATCHING STARS looks to have strong claims with Ryan Moore partnering the Godolphin representative. The son of Sea The Stars has been edging closer in handicaps, with a neck defeat at Newmarket last time his best effort so far. He beat a couple of subsequent winners on that occasion, so a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this. Love Beach won his maiden in good style and could prove better than his opening mark, while things failed to go to plan for Gladius at Salisbury, but he's not easily dismissed either.

Interesting handicap debutant LOVE BEACH gets the vote ahead of Watching Stars, whose latest effort is a strong piece of form.

3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +55%) Ascending Star	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(1) Ascending Star 9/2, Sold for 38,000 guineas as a yearling; colt by top-class sprinter Starman; dam very smart sprinter Dense Star; probably effective 6f; trainer in form; yard in good form; market can guide 38,000gns yearling; first foal; dam Listed-placed 5.7f 2yo winner (RPR 94).

7th	7 7th (7) (28/1 -133%) Koffee And Kale	28 28/1(-133%)	(7) Koffee And Kale 28/1, Well beaten 10l in a maiden over 5f at Ripon on modest debut; wide draw; up in trip; form franked from opener, but plenty more needed Ran to a modest level at Ripon (5f, good) but did go off favourite.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 -33%) Eduardo Calderon	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Eduardo Calderon 16/1, Third beaten 5l in a maiden at Brighton on fair debut; wide draw not ideal; place squeak His Brighton third was a positive start but he's burdened with the widest stall here.
9th	10 9th (10) (11/1 -57%) Perineighs	11 11/1(-57%)	(10) Perineighs 11/1, 5l fourth in a maiden over 5f at Nottingham first-time out in behind some expensive purchases, running on well and not helped by a bump at the start; up in trip; major player Slowly away on debut but showed plenty of ability behind a potentially top-class filly.

Trainer Adrian Keatley won this last year and has every chance of a repeat with the once-raced CHAIRMANFOURTIMES. A 20/1 chance at Nottingham, he outran his price to finish second and can only improve for the experience. Calico Blue also caught the eye when third at Leicester and could be a serious danger, while newcomer Ascending Star is one to consider on his debut for the in-form James Owen stable.

The three drawn lowest all lack experience. CALICO BLUE made a highly promising debut at Leicester where he was green early doors.

KENISA SPORT has to carry a penalty in this but it looks like a nice opportunity to make a winning start over timber. The No Risk At All mare opened her account in fine style when landing a bumper here last month. She has jumping experience from point-to-points and despite giving weight to her rivals she should be good enough to score again here. Sophia Rose shaped nicely when fifth on her hurdling debut at Listowel 12 days ago and could be the danger. The other bumper winner in the field, West End Victory, has a long absence to overcome and may be best watched on her first outing for Sonny Carey.

WESTERN PRINCESS is yet to find her feet for the champion trainer but showed promise at Ballinrobe and the step back in trip will suit

Modern Times looks interesting on his debut for Tim Easterby and, although he hasn't been seen since January, he wasn't beaten far at Newcastle off this mark and has to enter calculations. Dashing Darcey ran well in second off 1lb lower at Haydock and is noted, but HAVANA PUSEY is preferred. Trying this trip for the first time at Goodwood, she came home two and a quarter lengths clear of the second and there is every chance she has more to come over this distance.

The vote goes to HUMAM who failed to stay 1m in the Silver Bowl at Haydock and is interesting taking on older rivals back at 7f.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (11/4 +31%) Madame X	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(6) Madame X 11/4, Made a promising debut at Salisbury in a good novice but disappointed next time out. Still unexposed, and could bounce back if returning to the level of her first run. Just held by the still unbeaten Anthelia on Salisbury debut (5f); disappointing next time..
8	8 (8) (10/3 +63%) Palmeira	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(8) Palmeira 10/3, Promising debut but failed to settle and disappointed when beaten 7½l next time. Back down to 5f which could help her relax, and a sharper effort is possible. Raced over-zealously on both starts - Salisbury (5f) & Kempton (6f); needs to settle..
11	11 (11) (11/2 +31%) Whisperwood	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(11) Whisperwood 11/2, Fourth at Ayr when beaten 5l in a 6f maiden. Now drops in trip, and although she has scope to improve, the bare form still leaves her with work to do. Took a slight step up from her Southwell debut (5f) when fourth of seven at Ayr (6f)..
3	3 (3) (15/2 +46%) Diamond Alexander	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(3) Diamond Alexander 15/2, Beaten 6l on debut in a Wolverhampton maiden where she weakened late. Needs to improve fitness and form to play a serious role in this stronger-looking contest. Shaped as if in need of experience when fourth on Wolverhampton debut (5f); better to come.
9	9 (9) (8/1 -78%) Storm Flag	8 8/1(-78%)	(9) Storm Flag 8/1, Ran well when third and beaten 4¼l in a Brighton maiden after flopping at Ascot. Drop in trip may suit and represents a stable in strong current form. Respectable third of eight at Brighton (6f, good, 7-4 favourite) latest; can have a say..
5	5 (5) (10/1 +0%) Luminare	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Luminare 10/1, Raced keenly and faded late when beaten 9¼l in a Yarmouth maiden over 6f. Drops to 5f now and should strip fitter, but more is needed on the bare form. Raced freely and weakened on last month's Yarmouth debut (6f; seventh, 4-1); drops in trip.
4	4 (4) (10/1 -11%) Lope El Fuego	10 10/1(-11%)	(4) Lope El Fuego 10/1, 22 Feb; 92,000gns breeze-up purchase by Lope Y Fernandez; half-sister to Dynamic Talent, useful at 7f; dam useful at 8f; yard in good form 92,000gns breeze-up 2yo; sixth foal of a 1m winner; half-sister to five winners..
7	7 (7) (16/1 +11%) Nebrook Star	16 16/1(+11%)	(7) Nebrook Star 16/1, Beaten 5l into fourth in a Lingfield novice on debut. Ran with credit and showed some promise, but will need to step forward again in this stronger field. Displayed pace before fading on Lingfield debut (5f, good; 14-1); others look safer..
1	1 (1) (33/1 -18%) Bold Return	33 33/1(-18%)	(1) Bold Return 33/1, 29 Mar; £17,000 breeze-up purchase by Mehmas; half-sister to Al Karrar, very smart at 6f; dam smart from 6f to 7f at 2yo; best watched for now. £17,000 2yo; fourth foal of a 1m 2yo winner; trainers first 2yo runner of the season..
10	10 (10) (40/1 +0%) Sunset Strip	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) Sunset Strip 40/1, Beaten 9l in a Windsor novice last time, showing limited improvement from debut. Will need to find significant progress to be a factor in this deeper race. Triple-figure odds, failing to make an impact at Chepstow or Windsor (6f); look elsewhere..

LUMINARE showed up well for a long way on her racecourse debut at Yarmouth before fading approaching the furlong pole, having raced keenly. Ollie Sangster's charge should be more streetwise today and is expected to take the necessary step forward. 470,000gns purchase Butterfly Beach makes considerable appeal on paper, with the dam a half-sister to Superlative winner Good Old Boy Lukey, and is worth monitoring in the betting, while Storm Flag heads the remainder.

Ed Walker has his string in fine fettle, so his 470,000gns yearling newcomer BUTTERFLY BEACH is guaranteed to be a popular choice.

Classic had to be switched for a clear run when runner-up in last year's renewal and is likely to prove competitive once again. However, he finished third behind URBAN LION when Jack Channon's charge was beaten only a neck in the Spring Cup at Newbury in April, and the son of Zoustar is taken to build on that promising effort and go one better. Tribal Chief struggled when upped in trip last time, but has a shout on his earlier placed efforts at Newmarket, while Theoryofeverything is not out of it either.

Preference is for URBAN LION, who could well improve further. Classic and Balmacara are interesting back at Sandown.

Tim Easterby has won two of the three renewals of this with Copper Knight and the veteran is back for more off 3lb lower than 12 months ago. He might go close, but the vote goes to MOONSTONE BOY. An improving four-year-old who won easily at Carlisle last month, a fast pace here may play into his hands for a late finish. Rosenpur is rarely beaten far and could follow that pair home.

With no penalty for Monday's apprentice handicap win, COPPER KNIGHT has every chance of winning this for the third time in four years.

HILLS OF GLORY was left on the same mark after winning his maiden hurdle here last month and can follow up now back in handicap company. Kevin Sexton has been in demand in these 15 winners or less races recently and this Fame And Glory gelding looks like another with a big shout for him. Goodie Girl also won here at the last meeting and the runner-up Arcland has gone on to score on the Flat since. She looks like a danger. Paddy Cleary is another rider who has benefitted from these races recently and the consistent Chortal has to be on the shortlist as well.

DEPALMA gets the tentative nod. The lightly raced 6yo has a big pull in the weights with Goodie Girl and should be sharper this time

Born Ruler seems likely to prove popular for Sir Mark Prescott after his Redcar fourth, but he is yet to win beyond 10 furlongs. Saligo Bay stayed on well to win over this distance at Haydock last month and he can go well off 4lb higher, but a chance is taken on SARATOGA GOLD. Third off his current rating over course and distance latest when running on again late in the race, Lauren Frost claims 5lb aboard the seven-year-old and he looks all set for a big run.

Adrian Keatley and Jody Townend teamed up to win this with Kihavah in 2023 and now combine this time with MAGHLAAK, who gets the nod.

A confident vote goes to FLASH HARRY, who bumped into the now 102-rated Lady With The Lamp on his debut here last June. Gelded since and switched to Clive Cox, he could hardly have been more impressive when bolting up at Wolverhampton on his return last month. That performance sets a tough standard for the opposition to match and he is the one to beat under a penalty. Pianoforte and In The City can battle it out for second.

Impressive on his AW comeback recently, FLASH HARRY has much the most potential of these. Pianoforte rates the main danger.

Coto De Caza returns to the fray with solid claims, despite a 5lb penalty for winning a Group 3 contest at Newmarket in October. However, she has a bit to find with STAR OF MEHMAS on running at Ayr before that. Richard Hughes' sprinter won that Listed affair in good style and has returned to action in fine fettle, having gone agonisingly close when caught in the dying strides at York last month. She gets another chance in this with Ryan Moore's presence another positive. The Irish raider Town And Country is another with a shout.

Irish challenger TOWN AND COUNTRY (nap) is preferred. Star Of Mehmas, Hold A Dream and Coto De Caza are respected.

GREY CUBAN may have been aimed at this by local trainer Hugo Palmer and, with two wins from four starts here, he could go well. He races off 2lb lower than last time while dropping in class, and may bounce back to form with that in mind. Castle Cove is interesting on his handicap debut and has been gelded since his Newbury fourth, while Light Speed might come out best of the rest.

The suggestion is GREY CUBAN who was trapped out wide at the May meeting but it should be a different story today from stall 1.

ROSE OF KALANISI was a game winner when landing a gamble at Kelso in April and may be able to follow up. She won off a mark of 91 in Scotland and is on the same rating here but in reality has gone up a few pounds due to the different scales used. Josh Williamson takes a useful 7lb off her back which is a plus. Comeonarchie had some decent winter form and comes here off a little break. He is capable of running a big race off his current mark. Menas Miracle ran well when runner-up at Tramore last time and is another for the shortlist off a feather weight.

FORTUNE THE BRAVE saw market support at Punchestown last week when unable to get past the first hurdle and he's given another chance

Absurde kept on well when third to Illinois and Al Qareem over a furlong shorter in the Group 3 Ormonde Stakes at Chester last month and, given he meets the runner-up on better terms, he must have a good chance. ALSAKIB is already a C&D winner after beating Al Qareem here in July last year and, if he improves for his reappearance following a gelding operation when fourth in the Yorkshire Cup, then this race is comfortably within range. El Cordobes is respected too.

C&D Group 3 winner ALSAKIB posted an encouraging comeback run in the Yorkshire Cup here last month and he's the selection.

Course regular SISTERS IN THE SKY won twice here last term and was beaten only a neck at the track in May. The son of Showcasing faced a tougher assignment here last week, and it could be his turn again back in this lower grade. Fishermans Cottage has been thereabouts over a slightly longer trip here since scoring at Salisbury in May, while Darkened Edge showed signs of a resurgence when third at Chepstow.

Sisters In The Sky should go well dropped in grade but DARKENED EDGE shaped well on her return and is just preferred.

Brize Norton showed a big chunk of improvement after being gelded to shed his maiden tag at Kempton last month and needs to be taken seriously on his handicap bow. Spirit Of Farhh is respected after his runner-up effort behind Derby fifth Stanhope Gardens last time, but the vote goes to COSI BELLO. Charlie Fellowes' charge is unbeaten in two starts, justifying short odds under a penalty in good style at Kempton last time. With any amount of improvement to come, he could defy his opening rating of 93.

With further improvement likely, BRIZE NORTON is taken to follow up his reappearance success. Cosi Bello is second choice.

Jouncy was fifth in Listed company at Salisbury on his latest outing and is an interesting contender on his first start in a handicap, but the vote goes to MILFORD. Julie Camacho's three-year-old outran his odds to make the frame at York last month and is just 1lb higher. With a similar performance, he could prove tough to beat. Frankies Dream is the pick of the remainder.

RIVER VALE could be worth chancing on his first crack at racecourse fences. He has been putting in reasonable shifts over flights and was a notable second on slow ground at Limerick over Christmas. He acquitted himself well in three point-to-points spins with a victory secured in Dawstown. There are plenty of prominent racers and he may just creep into contention. Flash Collonges is worth a market check on his first start for the Watsons as this is a drop in class for him. A first-time visor is tried on him. Gorthill is in decent nick but has been enjoying staying assignments and this is a steep drop in trip for him, while Look Dont Touch is another with claims.

A tentative vote goes to WILLYWAMPUS. He's back down to his last winning mark, drops in grade and the forecast rain is not a worry

DOUBLE RUSH is a sprinter on the upgrade and looks worth sticking with. The son of Blue Point won a competitive contest at Newmarket on his handicap debut and a 5lb rise looks fair given both the third and fourth have subsequently won. Marchogion also scored at Newmarket when beating American Style with a bit up his sleeve. He can confirm that form, while Clive Cox has won two of the last three renewals so Doncaster novice winner Fast Track Harry also enters calculations.

This looks a typically competitive renewal but MAELSTROM (nap) can continue on his upward curve. Fast Track Harry is next best.

A course and distance winner here last month, POMME POMME has subsequently won twice since. She returned the cosy winner when making every yard at Chepstow on her latest start, and Jack Channon's progressive filly looks capable of defying the handicapper once again. Grand Harbour should be noted stepping up in distance for Sir Mark Prescott's yard, while Versatile is likely to benefit from dropping back in trip having won nicely here before that.

The four-timer may be achievable for Pomme Pomme but, with rain forecast, the suggestion is the soft-ground winner MOLLY VALENTINE.

Klassleader is a half-brother to Regal Connection and the booking of Ryan Moore catches the eye, so he needs to be monitored in the market on his debut. However, BULL RUN shaped with promise when finishing second on his introduction at Salisbury and could have lots more to offer. Ralph Beckett's three-year-old may put that experience to good use in order to get off the mark. Lancashire is another to watch out for after his debut second at Wolverhampton last November.

With progress on the cards, CROWN IMPERIAL warrants particular respect and could well reverse Newbury placings with Hinchinbrooke.

LAGOON NEBULA had Dreams Adozen (fourth) behind when filling the runner-up spot in this class over C&D last month and she is expected to confirm that form.

Molten Sea made it two wins from her last three starts at Nottingham at the start of the month and holds an obvious chance.

ALEISH LASS disappointed when last seen in a handicap hurdle at Cork but, prior to that, had been performing very consistently. She won a handicap hurdle in Limerick and was placed in Naas, in addition to winning one of her two point-to-points. Trainer Conor Maxwell has three chances in this beginners' chase and Karloss may prove to be the best of them. There was definite promise in his fifth place on his first start for Maxwell at Clonmel last month. That run came off a long absence and there could be more to come up in trip. Butchers Bill didn't set the world alight over hurdles, but represents strong connections and switches to fences in a race lacking depth.

Gordon Elliott's horses have been flying and the nicely bred BUTCHERS BILL looks likely to improve plenty for the switch to fences

STELLAR SUNRISE missed the break at Goodwood on his introduction, but showed plenty of pace to make up the lost ground and finish a creditable second. The son of Space Blues will be a lot wiser today and this flat 6f will suit Andrew Balding's charge. Lyrical Song would likely have finished closer than fifth at Pontefract with a clear run and he could be in the mix, while the newcomers Tactical Formation and Yy Nation should be noted for any significant support.

Some potential improvers are on show but Tactical Formation and YY NATION were big-money purchases at the breeze-up sales.

The likes of Warm Glow, Sharma D'amour and Dandy Khan all have the ability to be on the premises and are strong contenders in a wide-open race. However, BERNING HOT reverts to turf on a very handy rating and could be worth chancing with the step up to a mile a likely source for improvement. Oasis Sunrise, who is another with the potential to improve over this distance, also warrants a betting check.

There are a few potential improvers lurking but WARM GLOW (nap) is far from exposed herself and looks the one to beat back up to 1m.

TARA ITI has held his form well during a busy spell under both codes over the last month or so and reverts to hurdles with a major chance of extending the sequence. Having been hit with just a 3lb rise after winning at Fakenham on his latest hurdles run, the James Owen-trained gelding does need to post another personal best. This may create some hope for the likes of the in-form Winds Of Winter and Blended Stealth, who are fellow last-time-out winners with solid credentials.

James Owen's TARA ITI continues to thrive and can quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent second on the Flat at Bath

PREVISE took a big leap forward from her debut effort to sprung an 80/1 surprise at Haydock in April and the daughter of Oasis Dream now competes in a handicap for the first time. The three-year-old is likely to have lots more to offer and could prove too good for these. Soho Square boasts a very similar profile as she struck at Newcastle on her second career outing and she needs to be taken seriously, along with Cradle Of Love.

The well bred SOHO SQUARE took an age to get on top in her novice at Newcastle, which bodes well for this step up to a mile.

Archduke Ferdinand won a shade cosily at Redcar recently and can feature again, despite a 5lb rise. Southwell winner Prince Of Pillo faced a tough task at York last time and is not easily dismissed at this lower level, but a chance is taken that HYPERFOCUS bounces back to form. Tim Easterby's veteran won this contest off a higher mark in 2024 and looks to have plenty in his favour here.

Paws For Thought should give a good account but ALEEZDANCER is on a dangerous mark and is marginally preferred.

GENERAL HUBBLE looks a likely sort for Gordon Elliott. He kept on for fifth in a higher grade at Punchestown last weekend, and has winning form over fences from Fairyhouse and Punchestown last November. Early Arrival won a handicap hurdle on soft ground at Sligo last summer and there's plenty of rain forecast for Downpatrick. A placed effort over fences in Tramore at the end of May gives him a chance. Ocodango Boy has been off since unseating at this track in October, but has a squeak as does Jimli's Cave. Dinoland has ability over hurdles, but was pulled up on his sole start over fences. He has an absence since September to overcome.

If DINLOAND can convert his hurdles form to chasing, he should take all the beating, as long as he is fit enough on his return

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER has finished placed in two strong Newmarket handicaps since he made a winning seasonal debut at Redcar in April and is a tough customer to deal with when he gets his ground. Handily drawn and with the likelihood of suitable underfoot conditions, the George Boughey-trained four-year-old is an attractive proposition. Obelix, the hat-trick seeking Garden Oasis and Capital Guarantee also hold solid credentials, while Pisanello is another must for the shortlist having won this corresponding race off 7lb higher 12 months ago.

The step back up in trip is a likely positive for TELE RED, who is taken to exploit an attractive mark. Capital Guarantee is feared.

The hat-trick seeking UNION ISLAND is on a roll and is hard to oppose after winning a shade cosily over C&D eight days ago. His revised mark of just 63 looks very manageable and he can confirm superiority over last week's runner-up Claxton Bay, despite his old rival benefiting from a 1lb pull at the weights. Pessoa and Brinton also make the shortlist on the back of winning displays.

The tough Union Island is respected, but BRINTON has improved for cheekpieces going on and showed turf to be fine last time.

SCOTS POET was a close second over C&D last month and must hold every chance of going one better from just a 2lb higher rating. Conquer The Breeze and Follow Your Arrow come into this with similar profiles and command respect on these terms. However, Nathan Wells posted a good effort on his only previous try at this venue and he could be a bigger danger to the selection.

Having run sound races here on his two starts over fences, SCOTS POET is just preferred to the more exposed Pescarorius.

BLAST THE DREAM finished last of eight at Saint-Cloud when last seen in March, but that was over further on heavy ground and in Listed class, which is easily forgiven. Twice a winner on the all-weather, she might be worth another chance here against lesser opposition and on a sounder surface. If the race falls her way, she could catch and pass likely front-runners and recent winners Star Of Dubai and Miss Chester. The pair are both potentially leniently treated off marks of 75 and 73 respectively ahead of their handicap debuts.

The market suggested that BLUE WONDER would run well on her handicap debut and she was denied the opportunity.

AMANCIO arrives in fine fettle having won over hurdles before scoring back on the level at Newbury last month. That was his first attempt at 1m4f and, with a 4lb rise negated by his rider's claim, there looks to be plenty more to come from the son of Sixties Icon over the distance. Jujubella has made rapid strides this year and could launch another serious challenge, while Giselles Defence may also land a blow off his current mark.

Unexposed over this trip, AMANCIO (nap) will appreciate any rain and can defy a 4lb rise. Giselles Defence looks the biggest danger.

KAMIKAZ DU PLESSIS appeals reverting to a bumper after finishing runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe. He kept the odds-on favourite honest there as he only went down by half a length. The obvious danger is the newcomer North Moon who represents Willie and Patrick Mullins. He's a half-brother to a Grade 3-winning hurdler in France, so a big run wouldn't be surprising. Only For Our Man got up for second in a Tipperary bumper and has changed stables. He is one to consider with Josh Williamson taking 7lb off his back. Blue Du Neuf represents the 'double green' and is a full-brother to a horse that has won three times over hurdles, so is a debutant to note.

KAMIKAZ DU PLESSIS (nap) sets a decent standard on his close second over hurdles at Ballinrobe last month and he is preferred

Richard Fahey has two strong contenders in the form of MUSICAL TOUCH and Ziggy's Condor. With Oisin Orr booked for the latter, it's safe to assume the son of Havana Grey might be the stable's main hope. However, Cian Horgan is young rider that is well worth his 5lb claim and Musical Touch can benefit from that handy asset from the saddle. The hat-trick seeking Ingleby Archie is another serious player, with his berth in stall 22 a persuasive factor. Spirit Of Applause and Jonny Concrete are notable each-way options.

The 4yo MUSICAL TOUCH appeals as a type who can continue to progress and he earns the vote ahead of the improving Ingleby Archie.

With three consecutive course-and-distance wins under his belt, KICKSAFTERSIX is hard to ignore at his seemingly favourite venue and is fancied to readily handle the 4lb rise imposed for his latest success. College Causeway's Irish form reads well and there could be plenty more to come from him on just his second run with cheekpieces added. Take A Hike and Ballydangan are others to keep an eye on in the betting market.

Kicksaftersix arrives here on a roll but MUROOR is entitled to give him another scare and his latest run can be overlooked.

Traila is one to watch on his first start since December 2023 with his last victory over course and distance off the same mark in August the same year, though victory may be beyond him for now. Russian Crescendo needs forgiving a poor run on her return at Southwell but is clearly better than that with wins at Kempton and Ascot last season, but ROAD TO WEMBLEY get the nod. Upped 3lb after winning over this distance at Chelmsford, the booking of Ryan Moore to ride by trainer Richard Hughes catches the eye and he may double up.

Plenty with chances but STRUTH gave notice at Chester last time that he might not be far away from snapping his losing streak.

The winner of a bumper at Kempton before making a successful switch to hurdles over C&D last month, TRUSTINTIMES looks the type to kick on further, despite picking up a 7lb penalty. Similar comments apply to Hope Rising, whose fillies' allowance is a bonus and makes her another key player. City Of Diamonds gained a respectable third on his debut over timber in a maiden at Bangor last month and can also figure if he jumps a little better now he has some experience.

Donald McCain's CITY OF DIAMONDS made a promising hurdle debut when third at Bangor last month and might be the answer.

Pergamon made it two from two over timber when on target at Kelso last month but although respected in this hat-trick bid, it is SHARP GLANCE that shades preference. Alan King's mare was able to record a narrow success at Newton Abbot latest, having travelled by far the best. Officially rated 4lb lower than the first-named whilst receiving 6lb, she looks to have an excellent chance. Teofimo has few miles on the clock and is worth a market check on his first start for the Adam Nicol team.

Although Pergamon has a chance in his hat-trick bid slight preference is for Newton Abbot winner SHARP GLANCE.

MANOWEST coped well with stepping up to this trip when scoring in a game manner at Worcester recently and looks the logical option to side with given that is the best piece of recent form on offer. However, Big Bee Hive's win at Southwell stands up reasonably well and he can put up another bold showing on these terms. Lelantos and Tzarmix are the pick of the remainder.

Preference is for BIG BEE HIVE, who returned to form when back over hurdles at Southwell recently and can cope with a 5lb rise.

Karakula Dancer looks an interesting newcomer as a son of five-time Group One winner Palace Pier, and he could go close for a yard in excellent form, although the more experienced SIRIUS A may have his measure. Fourth over a furlong shorter at Newbury and beaten less than three lengths on debut, he looked the sort to improve with racing. Kanishka is another to consider after an Ayr second, but that was his third start and he may have less improvement to come than his rivals.

James Horton's SIRIUS A shaped well when a debut fourth in a big-field Newbury maiden and is taken to build on it and get off the mark.

MISS MAVERICK made every yard of the running to score by six lengths at Uttoxeter last month and she looks ready for this step up in grade. Gary Hanmer's mare struck over C&D two starts ago and looks the one to beat again. Sea The Clouds showed a lot more when filling the runner-up spot at Cartmel last time and he has to be respected, despite being 3lb higher. Of the remainder, Well Educated makes the most appeal.

LARAVIE won with a bit in hand at Stratford last month and, assuming the visor has the same impact second time around, the mount of Sean Bowen could be hard to beat, with a 6lb higher rating looking a fair assessment. The in-form Northern Symphonie is an obvious danger to the selection but is starting to look vulnerable after going up another 5lb for her most recent success. Midnight Gold is handily weighted and appeals a shade more than For Gina.

Very progressive 5yo NORTHERN SYMPHONIE is on a roll and can make it four wins in a row.

Course and distance winner SHARK TWO ONE has the best recent form after his second at Doncaster last time out and the step back up in trip is a major positive. Two of his four career victories have been over seven furlongs and he may make the most of the opportunity. Royal Jet scored over C&D in 2023, but he heeds to bounce back to form to win this, while Cammy could sneak into third spot.

This looks an excellent opportunity for SHARK TWO ONE to build on his good recent Doncaster second and end a long losing sequence

MATCHLESS accounted for his nearest rival by over a length in this grade at Southwell last time and he now has his first attempt at this distance. The seven-year-old has shaped as if he will stay and, if doing so, he could prove tough to beat. Belvedere Blast finished second at Cartmel on his most recent start and should remain competitive off a 1lb higher mark. My Friend Yeats steps back into handicaps after his maiden victory and is another to note.

This can go to BELVEDERE BLAST (nap) who stuck to his task behind a southern raider over a slightly shorter trip at Cartmel 17 days ago

RABY MERE was a huge disappointment when being turned over at short odds at Stratford last month, but he can be forgiven as that effort came only two days after his Fakenham triumph. If Olly Murphy's six-year-old brings that winning form to the table, then he could prove difficult to beat. Mr Le Philosophe hasn't finished outside of the top three since joining the James Owen yard and it would be no surprise to see him feature. Perfect Poli looks best of the rest.

Mr Le Philosophe and RABY MERE were beaten at short odds last time but both remain open to improvement for their new stables.

Tony Carroll won this race last season and has a good chance again with CINDY LOU WHO, a winner last time out at Bath over half-a-furlong shorter. Upped 4lb for that success, she tops the shortlist. Kisskodi strolled home at Brighton last month by close to three lengths but he has been put up 9lb for that and he may have to settle for second, leaving Project Black for third.

Harry Eustace's KISSKODI had plenty in the tank when going in at Brighton last time out and can defy a 9lb hike in the weights.

MORNINGTON BEACH struck by seven lengths between the flags in April and is a half-sister to hurdle/chase winner Corrigeen Rock. George Bewley's mare looks to have found a nice opportunity on her first start under Rules. Point-to-point winner Matching Energy needs to be monitored in the market on his first bumper outing. Fleet Street Flyer could improve on his fourth at Sedgefield and he completes the shortlist.

WILLIE SHAKE HANDS failed to complete a double when beaten three lengths into second at Hexham last month, but that was still a respectable effort. The son of Mount Nelson competes off an unchanged rating and he looks the one to beat. Gale Mahler finished a fair third in this grade at Cartmel recently and she has to be considered on only her second start over fences. Anyharminasking can beat He's A Diamond home for third.

After a solid start to his chasing career at Hexham last month, WILLIE SHAKE HANDS is arguably the most appealing option.

Trojan Truth is a previous course-and-distance winner that needs to be taken seriously, despite going up 3lb for his victory at Windsor 12 days ago, while Marinakis would be an interesting contender if he attracts support in the betting on his belated turf debut. However, slender preference is for DOUGLAS DC, who may find some improvement now he steps back up in trip.

Ryan Potter's fair winning hurdler WILD NEPHIN can capitalise on a lowly mark now going handicapping for the first time in this sphere.

Olly Murphy has his string in fine form at present and Tropical Speed merits respect with that in mind. He sports cheekpieces for the first time and is a potential improver now sent over fences, but it is SIDE STEPPER that gets the nod. Christian Williams' six-year-old recorded a narrow success over C&D from 4lb lower most recently and with the prospect of more to come, is fancied to repeat the dose. The consistent Another Lord should be thereabouts once again, too.

This looks good for ANOTHER LORD (nap), who followed up his convincing Ffos Las win in April with another good effort last month.

3	3 (3) (3/1 +40%) Borderline Madness	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) Borderline Madness 3/1, Weak in the market when beaten by 3 lengths off the mark of 55 at Chelmsford last time out; 2lb's lower in the market since last run; arrives into this race off a 184 day break; sure to go well here Ended 2024 in decent nick without winning; can't be discounted on her seasonal return.
1	1 (1) (3/1 +14%) Freedom Bay	3 3/1(+14%)	(1) Freedom Bay 3/1, Raced a bit to free when finishing third by 8 and a 1/2 lengths in a handicap over 7f here for most recent run; up in trip; looks to be improving with each passing run still; contender here Promising efforts when in the frame at Wolver and here recently; key player upped to 1m.
4	4 (4) (9/2 +50%) Garibaldi Memory	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(4) Garibaldi Memory 9/2, Zero wins in four career runs; probably needed the run when down the field in a handicap at Nottingham most recent after a 4 month break; sure to come on for the run here; but has it all do to form wise Last of nine on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m) 13 days ago; he has a bit to prove now.
6	6 (6) (9/1 -260%) Clipsham Noble	9 9/1(-260%)	(6) Clipsham Noble 9/1, Slowly away when landing a handicap by a short-head off the mark of 45 at Brighton last time; usually held up; up 4lb's in the weights since last win; winning form to boot therefore the one they have to beat Cheekpieces on when getting off the mark at Brighton 12 days ago; must enter calculations.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Clipsham Noble was a surprise winner with first-time cheekpieces added in a similarly modest race at Brighton 12 days ago and looks risky on his bid to register back-to-back wins off 3lb higher. With that in mind, it might pay to focus on FREEDOM BAY, who was doing her best work in the closing stages when third over 7f here last month. Up The Anti completes the shortlist.

Stuart Kittow's FREEDOM BAY (nap) is taken to build on her previous promise and gain a breakthrough win, with the step up to 1m a plus.

1	1 (1) (6/4 -200%) Stumps Or Slips	1.5 6/4(-200%)	(1) Stumps Or Slips 6/4, Well treated at weights when landing a handicap by 3l off 102 at Perth last time; trainer in form; strong stayer at the trip; can complete hat trick 2-2 for new stable this spring; strong claims if the ground stays good here.
3	3 (3) (7/4 +68%) Intrepide Sud	1.75 7/4(+68%)	(3) Intrepide Sud 7/4, Well backed 5l third in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Bangor-on-Dee most recent run; that form franked; not proven trip; hurdles winner here; danger if stamina holds up Jumping has been an issue over fences but he was a good third at Bangor last month.
4	4 (4) (18/5 +52%) Callin Baton Rouge	3.6 18/5(+52%)	(4) Callin Baton Rouge 18/5, Below par fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Fakenham latest; consistent hurdler; not proven trip; could figure if stamina holds up on chase debut Not quite at best on either hurdle start this spring; fell in only previous chase (2023).
2	2 (2) (12/1 +33%) Fat Sam	12 12/1(+33%)	(2) Fat Sam 12/1, Below par 21l third in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Hereford most recent run where beaten by unexposed rivals; in good form prior; squeak if fit after break Placed in big-field C&D race last summer but without a win since 2022; back from a break.
5	5 (5) (18/1 -100%) Catboy	18 18/1(-100%)	(5) Catboy 18/1, Probably needed race comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Ffos Las last time; fair mark on best hurdle form; outside chance on chase debut Just 1-13 over hurdles but may be the one best equipped to cope if the ground softens.

STUMPS OR SLIPS had looked in a bit of trouble early on before coming home best of all to complete a quick-fire double at Perth last month. The son of Getaway is 7lb higher and will need a career best to land the hat-trick, but he's clearly thriving and may well be up to it. Intrepide Sud kept on into third over 2m1f at Bangor most recently so is of interest returned to further, while market support for chasing debutant Catboy would be noteworthy.

The most obvious answer is STUMPS OR SLIPS, who is 2-2 for Olly Murphy this spring and can probably make further progress.

2	2 (2) (7/2 -5%) Beach Point	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(2) Beach Point 7/2, Ran to form when second only beaten by 4 lengths in a handicap at Nottingham last time out; has been the model of consistency lately; 6lb higher in the weights since his last win in July last year; pick of the form here Arrives in good nick without winning; he can go well off the same mark as for latest 2nd.
5	5 (5) (9/2 +50%) Bearwith	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(5) Bearwith 9/2, Raced freely when beaten by 3 legnths off the mark of 67 at Beverley last time out; second run after wind operation; 5lb's lower than last winning mark; chance if he can replicate his last winning performance Resumed from wind op/eight months off with an encouraging fourth at Beverley; in the mix.
1	1 (1) (9/2 0%) Queen's Company	4.5 9/2(0%)	(1) Queen's Company 9/2, Back to best at favourite course when landing a handicap by 1 and a 1/4 lengths off the mark of 64 at Yarmouth last time; goes very well at Yarmouth, 10f and fast ground suit best, she could go well here Resumed winning ways in good style in 1m2f Yarmouth handicap 23 days ago; big shout.

BEACH POINT looks the percentage call in this tricky-looking handicap. Having finished second on five of his last six starts, there are obvious chinks in his armour, but he counters that with reliability and looks the most solid option. Bobacious and Renesmee are closely matched based past form and could have a say, while Bearwith runs off 5lb below his last winning mark and cannot be ruled out. The recent Yarmouth winner, Queen's Company, needs another personal best on these terms.

Marginal preference is for QUEEN'S COMPANY, who travelled fluently when going in at Yarmouth last time and can defy a 4lb weights rise

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.
