Not beaten far into second twice at Wolverhampton after scoring there in March, KENSINGTON AGENT sets the standard on form and a return to the turf should not inconvenience, having won here previously. Notre Maison has been knocking on the door of late and is a key player, along with Maid In Chelsea, who has the services of Jim Crowley to call upon for the first time.

Preference is for NOTRE MAISON, who's been in good form without the usual headgear this spring. Connie's Rose is next best.

Having landed an apprentice handicap at Doncaster last weekend, OCEAN HEIGHTS is sure to prove a warm order. David Pipe's inmate is wisely turned out before his revised mark takes effect and a brace could be on the cards. Highwaygrey is now 1lb lower than his last winning figure and his latest fourth at Pontefract suggests that the veteran's turn isn't far away. He is feared most, ahead of the lightly-raced Steps In Time.

Preference is for OCEAN HEIGHTS, who escapes a penalty for Saturday's 2l win in an apprentice handicap at Doncaster.

LTO Selection:

---

With not much form to go on, only a tentative vote is handed to STELLAR SUNRISE, who changed hands for 130,000gns as a yearling. The son of Space Blues is bred to possibly improve as he steps up in trip, but he could show enough speed to strike at the first time of asking. Of those with experience, Alvin appeals most after making a poor start before finishing fifth at Newmarket. Any market confidence behind newcomer Mission Classified would be of interest.

The withdrawal of Sovereign Spell promotes ALVIN to first choice. Stellar Sunrise is second pick.

LTO Selection:

An expensive purchase at the sales, FORTIFICATION's dam was a winner at Listed level for the stable and this Mehmas colt should have enough pace to strike for leading owners on debut. A promising third first time out when taking a keen hold at Yarmouth, America must enter calculations on the drop in distance, along with debutant Too Darn Good, whose dam did well over this trip.

The debutant FORTIFICATION makes plenty of appeal for a stable that has plenty of winning 2yo newcomers.

LTO Selection:

There were plenty of positives to be gleaned from FITZELLA's debut second over 5f at Ascot and that experience could prove crucial. The daughter of Too Darn Hot is bred to relish the step up in distance and she sets a good standard for the newcomers to aim at. Top of that list is Tahalel, who fetched 500,000 euros as a yearling, with Warriors Choice the pick of the remainder.

Some interesting newcomers but FITZELLA sets a strong standard having kept on well for a close second over 5f at Ascot.

LTO Selection:

MR HAMPSTEAD had plenty in hand when getting off the mark over C&D a few weeks ago and even a 7lb rise may not be enough to stop the unexposed son of Galileo from following up. The consistent Manxman is likely to be in the mix once again because he remains on a workable mark. Contacto edges out Diamond Bay and Trooper Bisdee to be the pick of the remainder.

Amo Racing's MR HAMPSTEAD (nap) is taken to complete a C&D double. Contacto is second choice.

14:50 Bath (Class 6) 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

Only beaten a neck over C&D, when running on well towards the finish, SISTERS IN THE SKY could be primed to strike off 1lb lower, while upholding form with Savalas (fifth) from last week's contest. Southbank has never managed to actually win on turf but is well treated as a result and now represents the Chris Gordon team. The Cola Kid cannot be ruled out either.

Savalas should do better but SISTERS IN THE SKY (nap) has a lot in his favour, being 2lb well-in and having 5lb taken off.

15:00 Haydock (Class 1) 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

Having disappointed when only fifth on her reappearance at Newmarket, Unequal Love will need to improve. William Haggas' mare, who made the frame in the Sprint Cup here, would prove tough to beat judged on the pick of last year's efforts, but it may be worth taking a chance on the unexposed PRIME ART. The four-year-old offered plenty to work with when fifth in a Group 3 at York last summer and a similar performance could suffice. The in-form Frost At Dawn must also enter the reckoning.

She was underwhelming on her reappearance but last year's C&D Group 1 Sprint Cup third UNEQUAL LOVE is taken to bounce back with a win.

LTO Selection:

Cases can be made for all of these, but marginal preference is for BESET. The Irish raider has won her last two starts and she may be able to defy a 6lb rise for the latest of those victories at Sligo earlier in the month. Recent Doncaster winner Bas Bleu is also going in the right direction and arrives here with strong form claims. Others to note are Meribella, Santorini Star and Pique'.

The Haggas-trained SANTORINI STAR is already smart and yet she's open to considerable improvement now raised in distance.

15:25 Bath (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

CINDY LOU WHO showed plenty of early dash at Windsor on her reappearance and debut for Tony Carroll's yard. She should settle better with that pipe-opener under her belt and has plenty of scope for improvement on only her third start in a handicap. Piranha Rama has a shout on her recent second at Salisbury, while Beautiful Things has eased in the weights and could make her presence felt.

Over Spiced is of interest despite a penalty for Wednesday's win but CINDY LOU WHO could step forward from her stable debut.

A son of Too Darn Hot, WILD DESERT is a half-brother to dual Group 1 winners Shadow Of Light and Earthlight. It will be no surprise if the Godolphin colt proves a warm order on his introduction, especially with his trainer in such fine form. Last Verse was an early foal and includes a dual Group 2 winner among his four successful relatives. He could be far enough forward to have a say, while Port Darwin is preferred of the remainder.

Godolphin colt WILD DESERT is taken to provide Charlie Appleby with yet another first-time-out 2yo winner.

LTO Selection:

A Group 2 winner in Dubai earlier in the year, SILVER KNOTT returned to these shores with a creditable second in the Jockey Club at Newmarket. He could be tough to overhaul, despite picking up a 7lb penalty for his UAE exploits. Liberty Lane's third in the Huxley at Chester also makes him a key player, while Exoplanet proved he retains ability when returning from a lengthy absence to fill the runner-up spot in the Magnolia at Kempton.

Provided the ground is okay, LIBERTY LANE can take advantage of a good chance at the weights. Peace Man is second choice.

16:00 Bath (Class 5) 10f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

Placed in all three outings last autumn, BOSPHORUS ROSE should prove a stronger filly this year. This extra test of stamina will bring improvement from the daughter of Golden Horn and she gets the vote to make a winning return. Nuptown Girl looks the main threat based on her fifth over this trip at Ascot a fortnight ago, although Pergola is a likely improver.

Preference is for PERGOLA, who's taken to progress past the more experienced pair. The market will likely tell a story.

---

16:10 Haydock (Class 4) 7f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

TSUKI ran green at Goodwood on debut, but was still talented enough to return the cosy winner. She will have learned plenty from that initial experience and the daughter of Kameko is taken to defy a penalty. Suite Francaise also made a successful introduction, over 7f at Newcastle last autumn, and this extra yardage will suit. Huggable has plenty to find with the selection on Goodwood running, although she stumbled badly and can finish closer.

Huggable may get closer to TSUKI at these weights but the Haggas-trained filly is open to improvement herself and can make it 2-2.

LTO Selection:

MAFNOOD, a respectable third at Epsom when dropped in trip on his debut for George Baker, has the potential to find more improvement dropped further in distance and with first-time cheekpieces added. The last-time-out winners Havana Pusey and Diamondonthehill command respect. However, previous C&D winner Mister Bluebird could be a bigger danger to the selection after a game third on his seasonal debut at Musselburgh last month.

The combination of a further drop back in distance and new headgear may enable MAFNOOD to regain the winning thread.

LTO Selection:

Having returned to form with a good second over 1m here 18 days ago, VILLALOBOS looks ready to strike at this level. The Footstepsinthesand gelding will appreciate the extra quarter-mile and he may defy a 1lb nudge up the ratings. The biggest threat might emerge from C&D winner Mrembo, who is likely to enjoy the ease in class. Ladypacksapunch is the pick of the remainder.

These are GALACTIC GLOW's conditions and he is taken to end a near two-year drought. Mrembo may be best of the rest.

LTO Selection:

Narrowly denied over further behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton last time out, SONIC PIONEER looks the one to beat off just a 1lb higher rating. A promising third when sent off favourite for his handicap debut at Chester back in the autumn, Groundsman may improve for going up in distance on his return. Adorla Of Achill is another to note on the back of a creditable effort at Nottingham.

Last week's Newbury third GLENRIDDING could appreciate the drop back in trip and he earns the vote ahead of Adorla Of Achill.

JIMMYJEROO has taken well to chasing and made all over 2m5f at Hereford in April. He gave the strong impression this shorter trip would suit when runner-up at Fontwell subsequently and remains on a workable mark on only his fourth start over fences. Last weekend's well-backed Bangor scorer Barranco can feature again, despite his penalty, and Jac Jumper could also make his presence felt.

This revolves around BARRANCO who is 6lb well in after his successful stable debut at Bangor six days ago.

---

16:55 Goodwood (Class 4) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

FORT GEORGE started slowly but came home best of all to record a comfortable success when making his handicap debut at Newmarket three weeks ago. Ed Walker's gelding was arguably worth more than the winning margin would suggest and a 5lb rise might underestimate him. Transparent has yet to finish outside of the top two from four career starts and is unlikely to be far away, along with the recent Windsor scorer Sea Founder.

The verdict comprises the reappearance winners SEA FOUNDER and Fort George, who both look likely to progress further.

---

17:00 Downpatrick 18f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

---

The lightly-raced JAZZ DE COTTE can open his account over hurdles. Runner-up on his sole point-to-point run, the six-year-old made a winning start to his career under Rules in an Ayr bumper in April 2024. Pulled up on his first start over jumps at Tipperary back in November, he shaped much better when second at Naas last month. With the potential for further improvement this season, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding is given the nod. Point-to-point winner Hills Of Glory is very unexposed for an eight-year-old and has one or two pieces of form that would give him every chance. Sligo third Parkgarve has scope for further improvement having only had the two career starts to date.

At a difference of 8lb the Gavin Cromwell-trained HILLS OF GLORY may have the measure of bumper winner Jazz De Cotte

17:05 Bath (Class 6) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

---

Fighting Queen supplemented her breakthrough victory over C&D when finishing a respectable second over 1m2f here last week and further progress cannot be ruled out. However, DAPPLED LIGHT drew clear of his rivals in good style at Chepstow and a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Adrian Wintle's charge edges the vote, while an improved bid from Claxton Bay now he reverts to turf wouldn't surprise.

Several possibles but the unexposed FIGHTING QUEEN has proved herself under the conditions and can benefit from returning to a mile.

---

17:10 Curragh 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

---

NOODLES has shown promise on both previous outings and should be suited by this step up in trip. The Dream Ahead gelding was beaten less than a length on debut here in March and was again putting in his best work at the finish when fourth to Joyful Tidings at Tipperary, with Sup Of Red just a short head back in fifth. The latter also made a promising start at Cork and is another for the shortlist, while Glitter And Glory didn't enjoy the clearest of runs on debut at Naas. Ipanema Queen, Dakota Dancer, Allsortz and Cuban Princess are among the newcomers to keep a close eye on in the market.

The runners with form don't set a particularly high standard so a chance is taken that the nicely-bred CUBAN PRINCESS can score.

LTO Selection:

The Julie Camacho stable has a good record here and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for CARLYLE SQUARE to get off the mark following a somewhat unlucky narrow defeat at Doncaster, when carried left approaching the final furlong. Must Believe almost broke the maiden at Wolverhampton last month and he should be thereabouts again, along with recent Yarmouth third Antelope.

The filly CARLYLE SQUARE (nap) went close on handicap debut at Doncaster despite the steady gallop being against her, and gets the nod.

---

17:23 Worcester (Class 4) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

Northern Bound bounced back to form when second at Doncaster in December, but his losing run stretches back to 2022 and SAGEBURG COUNTY looks a safer proposition. Warren Greatrex's chaser found life tough in a higher grade at Chepstow, but went close at Uttoxeter prior to that and gets another chance back at this level. Soldat Forte returns from a lengthy absence, although he should have plenty more to offer over fences.

Topweight SAGEBURG COUNTY is back in easier company than last time at Chepstow and appeals as the safest proposition.

LTO Selection:

Miss Show Off returned to form in no uncertain terms when on target at Salisbury recently but while respected from 8lb higher, a chance can be taken on MICHAELA'S BOY. Robert Cowell's charge may well be more at home on an artificial surface, but he showed up well for a long way in an equally as competitive sprint at Epsom last month and a 1lb ease in the handicap will do his chances no harm. Faustus showed much more at Windsor on Monday and is no forlorn hope with 7lb apprentice Jack Callan enlisted.

Moulin Booj is a reliable sort and should find this being run to suit but the talented-if-quirky ROCKING ENDS may have his measure.

17:35 Downpatrick 18f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

Recent Wexford winner SPLENDID CHOICE can make it back-to-back victories. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding won a shade comfortably last weekend, so a 5lb rise doesn't appear that much of a burden. Although that was the first time he managed to get his head in front, it would be no surprise to see him improve further with the benefit of that confidence booster. Arcland is an interesting contender on his stable debut for Gavin Cromwell. A record of one win from 35 starts doesn't inspire confidence, but Cromwell does exceptionally well with cast-offs. Wrecking Ball Paul could be dangerous if allowed an easy time of it in front.

Gavin Cromwell's new recruit ARCLAND is worth chancing as he has threatened off this sort of mark in the past.

BACK DOWN UNDER has gained both previous wins at this venue and appears versatile in terms of ground conditions. She scored over 7f on a sound surface last summer and made a successful reappearance this term over 6f on soft, with Tai Tam Bay almost two lengths back in third. There should be little to choose between Brigid's Cloak, Island Girl and Miracle Beauty, who finished close together in the places behind the impressive Unique Journey at Naas last month. Staysound Susie enters calculations on her close third to Tawaazon over a similar trip at Naas last time, while Saturn Seven and Ethical Code are others to consider.

Preference is for STAYSOUND SUSIE who ran a fine race at Naas last time out and she has run well on both previous visits to this track

---

17:57 Worcester (Class 4) 23f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

---

NATIVE MOON won nicely on good going at Ascot back in March. A 5lb rise doesn't look insurmountable and another bold bid is anticipated from the seven-year-old. David Pipe trained last year's winner and Chemical Warfare is worth noting reverting to hurdling off a 12lb lower mark than his chasing figure. The veteran I'm A Starman is enjoying a new lease of life and bids for a hat-trick, although this is a tougher contest than he won at Warwick last time.

This is a tight call between Native Moon and I'M A STARMAN but the vote goes to Mark Rimell's resurgent 12yo.

18:05 Downpatrick 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

Having looked to improve for the step up in trip when second over C&D, SIGHTS UNSEEN can go one place better. The Gavin Cromwell-trained mare was twice runner-up in point-to-points, so stamina appears to be her forte. Given that she proved her effectiveness around this undulating track on her recent visit, the six-year-old has much to recommend her. Dylan's Chance is a gelding who can run well at bigger odds. Although yet to show a great deal in seven starts over hurdles, he hinted at ability when fifth at Limerick in November. Recent Sligo fourth True Destiny merits respect.

This longer trip was no problem for SIGHTS UNSEEN (nap) when she chased home the right horse here two weeks ago.

18:15 Pontefract (Class 4) 5f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

PROTEST RALLY won a deeper race at Musselburgh on his penultimate start and wasn't disgraced off this mark when fourth after a troubled run at Lingfield most recently. Well drawn in stall one and with 5lb claimer Cian Horgan back in the saddle, the five-year-old looks well worth another chance on these terms. The last-time-out winners Hover On The Wind, whose yard chases a hat-trick in this race, and Ziggy's Queen can fight it out for second place.

Protest Rally looks an improved performer this year and can go well but TORFRIDA might be the answer.

VALENCIA kept good company in three outings last year, including when runner-up to the smart Swelter over a mile at Leopardstown, and she was also fourth behind better-fancied stablemate Apples And Bananas over C&D in the Goffs Million. Poweracclaim didn't enjoy much luck in running before keeping on nicely inside the final furlong when fifth to Varshini on debut over this trip at Gowran and can improve past the consistent Gran Habano, who was just ahead in third. Collecting Coin was third on debut at Cork and that form received a timely boost when the runner-up won at Roscommon on Monday.

This race revolves around the 87-rated VALENCIA(nap). The form of her last two runs stands up to scrutiny and she could be hard to beat

This looks like an ideal opportunity for JOMIG DES BOIS to get off the mark following a relatively promising fourth over this distance at Bangor. Returning to good ground is a plus and the eight-year-old is preferred to Manowest, who hasn't shown much in recent outings but finished placed here before and represents an in-form yard. Third over 2m at this track earlier in the month, Money To Burn may improve significantly for going up in trip.

Donald McCain's JOMIG DES BOIS rates the most likely winner after two respectable runs at Bangor.

18:37 Downpatrick 19f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

TANKARDSTOWN DIVA can make the most of her experience against rivals who have had limited opportunities over fences. The Ian Donoghue-trained mare ran better than her final placing suggests when fifth at this track earlier in the month. Having made good headway to go second after the penultimate fence, the grey weakened on the run-in. Dropped back in trip now, she should be much more effective over what is arguably her optimum distance. Point-to-point winner Coffeys Forge remains of definite interest having had just the three starts for Gordon Elliott. He could be capable of better now that he tackles fences for the first time. The versatile nine-year-old Darkened is another with claims in a competitive affair.

A weak race of its type. Marginal preference is for TANKARDSTOWN DIVA who ran out of puff over further here last time.

LTO Selection:

UBETTERSEETHIS has shown ability and could be up to breaking his maiden at the third time of asking. Denied by just a head on his debut over 5f here last month, Craig Lidster's colt was then done no favours when hampered early on at Beverley most recently. That form still read well and his third-placed finish could be worth forgiving. As the other three with experience need to improve, notable debutants Big Fun and Lily Pearl could present the stiffest challenges this time.

Ubetterseethis had an excuse last time and surely gets off the mark soon but the maiden FAROUGH contested on debut is working out.

Aidan O'Brien has been dominating Derby trials this season and SHACKLETON could be another winner for the Ballydoyle trainer. The son of Camelot landed the odds in a 1m1f maiden here last autumn before finishing third in the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket, and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to Thrice, who was no match for stablemate Lambourn in the Chester Vase. Reyenzi scored in impressive fashion on soft ground in a 1m2f Navan maiden last month, while it looks significant that Dylan Browne McMonagle rides Emit instead of Cork maiden winner Dawn Spirit.

The least exposed runner, REYENZI, was an impressive maiden winner on seasonal debut and could have the scope to improve enough.

An easy winner over C&D last week, MANALA is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can bring up the double under a 7lb penalty. Runner-up on each of her two starts since scoring at Taunton in November, Chabadatika is entitled to be thereabouts again, as is Edna E Mode, who put in a career best over obstacles when second on her handicap bow at Ludlow.

This can go to MANALA (nap) who is 4lb well in under a penalty for her win over C&D ten days ago.

Punchestown runner-up SQUIRE OHARA looks to have been found a nice opportunity to register a first success on the track. Successful in a point-to-point at Loughanmore last month, the Tony Martin-trained gelding ran a big race when chasing home a short-priced favourite at the Festival. A seven-year-old who had previously shown promise under Rules before going back pointing, he is open to further improvement this season. Placed a few times over hurdles earlier in his career, Chiefs Kingdom ran well when runner-up on his point-to-point debut at Ballycahane in March. Paul Nolan's gelding looks the biggest threat to the selection, although King In The Park has to be respected coming from the David Christie academy.

Bishopscourt Cup runner-up Squire O'Hara is on the upgrade but CHIEFS KINGDOM has a more convincing profile based on hurdles form.

LTO Selection:

ARUNDEL took a step forward when filling the runner-up spot on his handicap bow at Beverley recently, pulling four lengths clear of the reopposing Cangofar (third). Ed Dunlop's gelding is officially 2lb well-in and, in a moderate heat, he looks to have every chance of going one place better. Keats House was far from disgraced at Doncaster last time and is most appealing of the remainder.

Arundel was second at Beverley last week but CANGOFAR caught the eye in third and can turn the tables.

Lightly raced on turf in recent times, the Johnny Murtagh-trained DAAMBERDIPLOMAT could represent some value. A maiden winner over course and distance, the five-year-old has shown up well in three subsequent visits to this track. Nicely drawn and fit from a recent all-weather campaign, the son of Cotai Glory has plenty in his favour. The handicapper has also given the gelding a chance by dropping him down to his last winning mark. Having shaped with plenty of promise over 5f here on his reappearance, the Eddie Lynam-trained Keke should appreciate the additional furlong and is noted along with stablemate Collective Power.

Not much went right for COLLECTIVE POWER at Naas latest and he is weighted to turn his August C&D form with stablemate Keke around

Beaten at a short price when runner-up at Market Rasen, ALL WELL AND GOOD should appreciate a return to this track. He won a NH Flat race here last summer and can get off the mark over hurdles at the fourth time of asking. Hailing from a family that the Dan Skelton team knows well, Jorah is one to monitor for market support on debut. Aslukgoes returns from a long absence, but landed a Listed bumper at Newbury in February 2023.

The tentative suggestion is JORAH, whose pedigree is interesting and who represents a top yard capable of debut winners.

Former Munster National winner ONTHEROPES can register a first success under this code since that 2021 victory at Limerick. A point-to-point scorer at Carrigarostig in January, he finished runner-up in a competitive hunter chase at Naas on his return to the track the following month. Following respectable runs at Cheltenham and Aintree, the 11-year-old filled fourth place at the Punchestown Festival earlier this month. He should find this an easier assignment than what he has faced of late. Vina Ardanza, third in a Grade 1 novice hurdle behind Jonbon and El Fabiolo at his peak, has the potential to do well as a hunter chaser. Course winner Asphalt Cowboy is young enough to improve further in the coming seasons.

This represents a big drop in class for ONTHEROPES who has run against the top hunters at Cheltenham, Aintree, and Punchestown.

MADE ALL didn't live up to his name when coming from last to scoop the prize at Catterick on his stable debut recently. It was, however, a commanding performance and may have been down to a step up in trip. With potentially more to come, he's fancied to double up under a penalty, although fellow penalised runner Agathon won't go down without a fight. Dubai Venture was a shade unfortunate when second at Beverley last time and he remains of interest from an unchanged mark.

The way MADE ALL (nap) cruised up on the outside and won with a fair bit in hand at Catterick suggests he can defy his penalty.

Recent Cork runner-up BONUS TIME can open her account at the second time of asking. Gavin Cromwell's daughter of Too Darn Hot chased home an odds-on favourite, with a well-regarded Juddmonte filly back in third. On collateral form with the third, Bonus Time appears to have the measure of Naoi. However, given that Paddy Twomey debutants often take a significant step forward second time up, Naoi should be capable of better. Cold Hearted has valuable experience which should stand her in good stead.

Bonus Time ran well on debut but SUERTE caught the eye making up ground late behind her and might be able to turn the tables

Having posted several creditable efforts in defeat in maiden hurdles, this contest should prove within range for HIGH FIBRE. A reproduction of the six-year-old's latest second at Taunton could prove sufficient and he's taken to repel likely chief rival Regal Cavalier. Max Young's charge was runner-up at a massive price at Ludlow last month and a similar performance should see him in the mix. The Great Escape is the pick of the remainder.

This looks a golden opportunity for HIGH FIBRE, who has shown plenty of promise in his four hurdle runs and sets a clear standard.

NOBLE NAME, who looked a strong stayer when rallying to finish third at Tipperary recently, can open her account. The Claire O'Connell-trained mare had previously won a point-to-point at Oldcastle and that form received a boost when the runner-up easily won on her next start. With the benefit of previous racecourse experience, the five-year-old holds leading claims. Better Times, who was fourth on that same Tipperary card, is another worthy of consideration. He, too, should be all the better for that experience. Cinammon Roll finished behind Better Times, but has to be respected given the form of Gordon Elliott in bumpers in recent weeks.

A sister to a six-time winner who started his career with Claire O'Connell, NOBLE NAME can build on her recent Tipperary third.

Radio Star has been knocking hard at the door recently and Ollie Sangster's filly can be expected to go close once again. That said, preference is for VIBRANT PEARL, who belied odds of 100-1 to finish second at Redcar on her debut earlier this month. The winner, albeit much the best that day, has since filled the runner-up spot in a handicap from a mark of 85, so any progress might suffice here. Market support for the 125,000-euro purchase Kodi's Queen would be noteworthy.

Radio Star richly deserves to get head in front but VIBRANT PEARL was an encouraging second on debut and can go one better.

Having caught the eye staying on late over 7f here earlier this month, AUBURN AVENUE should appreciate this additional furlong. A consistent filly last term, the four-year-old had disappointed on her seasonal debut when down the field at Cork. However, she had valid excuses as trainer Chris Timmons had indicated that his string were a bit behind. With two runs under her belt, the daughter of Phoenix Of Spain should be spot on for this assignment. Pier Pressure, who was slowly away at Roscommon last time, has every chance if breaking on terms. Cork winner Port Louis has to be considered too.

EVERYLITTLESTEP could be the answer. She was runner-up in this last year off 5lb higher and her return on soft ground can be ignored.

RECORD ART posted a career-best performance when making a successful return for Fergal O'Brien at Taunton. The six-year-old won going away and a 7lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Stable debutant Danny's Friend offered more encouragement when fourth at Southwell in December and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market on his return. Cawthorne Banker lurks on a dangerous mark.

Preference is for course winner RECORD ART, who scored on his stable debut at Taunton last month and is open to more progress.

20:47 Pontefract (Class 5) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

LTO Selection:

There doesn't appear to be bundles of early pace on show and that could benefit HIGHLAND OLLY, who made all of the running to score at Nottingham a fortnight ago. Berthed well in stall one, he might be tough to reel in once again if adopting similar tactics. Captain Corelli returns from a 241-day absence in search of a five-timer and is respected, while Commander Of Life is considered too.

Preference is for MOUNT KING, who is proven around here and was in good form prior to a lacklustre effort last time.

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.
