Ludlow

Racing To School Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

King Al

Talakan

Wolf Rayet

This looks a competitive opener but there was enough encouragement to glean from TALAKAN's hurdles debut third at Ascot to think he can play a lead role with his sights lowered, and he shades preference over Kempton runner-up King Al. Wolf Rayet also has the form to play a part, whilst market confidence behind hurdles newcomer Gallivanted would also look significant for the stable who landed this race 12 months ago.

C M Bespoke Care Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Diamond Du Berlais

Afancy Getaway

Catwalk Girl

DIAMOND DU BERLAIS stands out a mile on her French form so should prove very hard to beat on first outing for Willie Mullins. Khutulun Khan and No Flies On Her can battle it out for minor honours. 

Ludlow Members Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Sherminator

First Candidate

Kiwi Rush

Bumper winner KIWI RUSH has shaped with clear promise on both his hurdle starts to date, each in slightly stronger company than he tackles today, so he's an appealing candidate for an in-form stable. First Candidate and Sherminator look the other key players on form. 

Attwood Memorial Trophy Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Rodney

Toothless

Though cases can be realistically made for several of these, RODNEY is firmly on the up and is taken to complete the hat-trick following commanding victories at Leicester and Hereford. Regal Renaissance may well have won had she stayed on all fours here in December and is feared most ahead of Toothless, who regained the winning thread at Windsor on New Year's Day. Joker de Mai is also worth a second look.

Late Roy Kneller 85th Birthday Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Magical Maggie

Masked Dance

Sallyville Lady

A case can be made for lots of these but Dan Skelton's SALLYVILLE LADY looks to have got in quite lightly for her handicap bow so edges the vote from C&D scorer Masked Dance. In-form pair Hard Dealt and Pismo Beach can also have a say, while Magical Maggie completes the shortlist. 

Watch RacingTV Handicap Hurdle

Windsor Blue

Following Chapter

Lion Of The Desert

FOLLOWING CHAPTER showed improved form when making his second handicap start a winning one at Warwick last time and, with this step up in trip promising to suit, he is taken to score again now that he's up and running. Unleash The Beast also looks interesting over this longer distance and could be the main danger, ahead of Shuil Ceoil.

Plyvine Catering Chase Meredith Memorial Open Hunters' Chase

Barton Snow

Jeffery's Cross

The vote goes to BARTON SNOW, who is unbeaten in three hunters and proved his wellbeing when sauntering home in an open point last month. Jeffery's Cross looks rock-solid in this context and he is clearly the main danger, with What A Glance best of the rest.

Sedgefield

Paxtons Serving Farmers Since 1853 Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Follow Your Luck

Division Day

Sioux Falls

DIVISION DAY has some fair winning Flat form to his name and signalled he is ready to strike in this sphere when runner-up at Doncaster last time out so gets the vote. Winning pointer Shinealight could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on her Newcastle seventh, while Noble George, Sioux Falls and Swingingonthesteel all command plenty of respect too.

Fairlight Studios Handicap Chase

Mersey Street

Huit Reflets

Begin The Luck

MERSEY STREET has returned in good form this winter and looks ready to strike if none the worse for his fall at Catterick 2 weeks ago. Huit Reflets and Too Cool Forshrule head the dangers. 

Paxtons No1 CaseIH Dealer Handicap Hurdle

Vampire Slayer

Snapius

Linden Lane

LINDEN LANE looks ready to finally break his duck after catching the eye off his reduced mark at Windsor 5 weeks ago. Vampire Slayer responded well to this headgear when belatedly off the mark at Catterick and rates the main threat ahead of  Prized Jet. 

Chris Blanckley Supporting Fairlight Studio Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Double Digits

Sea Thrift

SUPREME GEORGE was ultimately forced to pull out all the stops when bringing up a quick-fire hat-trick at Catterick when last seen on New Year's Day, with some late mistakes hardly aiding his cause on that occasion. However, he had previously impressed in that department and, having been given more time ahead of this, he may well be up to completing the 4-timer from his revised mark. Plumpton-scorer Sea Thrift is the obvious threat, with Double Digits expected to progress from his chasing bow.

Darlington Mowden Park RFC Handicap Hurdle

Ballin Bay

Scudamore

DILLARCHIE returned to form when runner-up at Catterick on her latest outing, beaten only by one who has scored again since, so she could be set to gain a second C&D victory from 6 lb below her last winning mark. East Eagle was suited by the step back up in trip when successful at Catterick last time and isn't taken lightly, with King Casey also one to note.

Canine Premier Flex Plus Joint Supplement Handicap Hurdle

Thank You Blue

Jukebox Joker

It remains to be seen if JUKEBOX JOKER will build on his improved reappearance success at Warwick but the fact that he still has low mileage offers hope in that respect. The 6-y-o gets the nod ahead of Getaway With You and Thank You Blue.

Kempton

Try Unibet's Superboosts Apprentice Handicap

Port Noir

Age Of Time

Galaxy Wonder

In the hope that the change of scenery (debut for new yard) has perked him up, MASQOOL gets the nod. He won off this mark at Chelmsford last summer and shades preference ahead of last week's C&D winner Mbappe and stablemate Galaxy Wonder. Each-way cases can be made for some of the others, most notably Berning Hot, who put in a good shift when third to Mbappe here recently, and Brinton.

Get Daily Price Boosts At Unibet Fillies' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Glistening

Naana's Crystal

Too Hot To Tango

TOO HOT TO TANGO is starting to prove expensive to follow but she sets the standard and is worth one more chance in a winnable-looking novice. Nuptown Girl is unexposed as a miler and ought to be very competitive back in novice company, with Star Obsession considered a likely improver for a top yard. 

Bet 20 Get 20 With Unibet Handicap

Popmaster

The Lost King

Nikovo

THE LOST KING hasn't stood much racing but he resumed from a break in good order when mowing down Popmaster in the closing stages over 7f here last month. That was just his sixth career start and there may well be better to come from this 4-y-o back at a mile. The hat-trick seeking High On Hope and Sovereign Sea are feared most in that order of preference, while the aforementioned Popmaster should also be in the mix once more.

Unibet More Extra Place Races Handicap

U S S Constitution

Bullington Bry

Sanditon

BULLINGTON BRY did well under the circumstances when third off this mark at Chelmsford last week and he is taken to regain the winning thread. Next on the list is Court of Session, who snapped a long losing run at Wolverhampton recently and he remains on a good mark with his 4 lb penalty factored in. Portoro is also shortlisted.

Unibet Support Safer Gambling Handicap

I'm Workin On It

Valley Ofthe Kings

Diamondonthehill

Plenty are in with a shout but I'M WORKIN ON IT rates just the pick of the weights with the form of his recent C&D victory working out well, so he edges the vote from fellow last-time scorers Mythical Composer (second choice) and Echalar. Both Follow Your Heart and Diamondonthehill can have a say too in this highly competitive event. 

Try Unibet's New Smartview Racecards Handicap

Dust Cover

Something

Golden Circet

DUST COVER has taken his form up a level returned to all-weather, showing a good attitude when recording his second success at Southwell 15 days ago, and he can add to his tally upped in trip. Fiddlers Green also arrives in good form having finished runner-up here the last twice and could be the main danger, ahead of Must Believe.

Try Unibet's New Improved Acca Boosts Handicap

Initial Blue

Respectable Jack

Magna

Tony Carroll continues in good form and his thriving filly MAGNA is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having just been denied over C&D last time despite taking a strong hold. Respectable Jack came in just behind her that day and rates the main threat, although Porfin and Initial Blue are both well in the mix too. 

Newcastle

Read Meg Nicholls' Blog At betmgm.co.uk Handicap

Wicksey

Trust No One

Saxophonic

C&D scorer TRUST NO ONE could be worth chancing back at his optimum distance. The reliable Lope Harswell can also have a big say, while in-form duo Sunday Sinatra and Onyeisi are in the picture too.

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Div 1)

Howzak

Asadjumeirah

Teardrops

A tight-knit sprint in which marginal preference is for TEARDROPS who continues on the up and can quickly resume winning ways to garner a fourth C&D victory of the winter. Last year's victor Asadjumeirah rates a big danger though, while East Tyrone and Captain Vallo both command plenty of respect too. Laurens Dream completes the shortlist.    

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Div 2)

Pit Boss

Spartan Fighter

Yorkshire Glory

SPARTAN FIGHTER is in excellent form, having won all three starts in 2026 including his hat-trick at this C&D 15 days ago when rallying gamely to lead in the final furlong. Up 5lb but his impressive record of 10 course wins makes him of interest again. Yorkshire Glory won on the same card with first-time cheekpieces producing a career best and should remain competitive.

Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap (Div 3)

Rajstar

Spun To Gold

BIBENDUM shaped better than his fourth-placed finish over 5f here a fortnight ago, faring best of those held up off the pace, and is taken to confirm that promise with the return to 6f in his favour. Spun To Gold completed a hat-trick at this C&D but needs to recapture that form after struggling in four subsequent starts, while Yaahobby is a player if latest run can be forgiven.

Midnite Ain't Your Grandad's Bookie Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Champonie

Hayynah

Celtic Arrow

CHAMPONIE is a well-bred debutante who cost 70,000gns and represents a yard with a decent record with newcomers. Hayynah has placed three times from four starts and adds first-time cheekpieces after a 169-day absence. Celtic Arrow is lightly raced and could improve with experience.

Midnite: Built For 2026 Not 2006 Handicap

Monks Dream

Castan

ARNHEM wasted no time getting back to form when narrowly denied at this C&D 13 days ago, beaten only by an unexposed type on all-weather, so he could be ready to get back to winning ways in this slightly lower grade. He is preferred to 4-time C&D winner Castan, while Mission Command remains lightly raced on artificial surfaces and is also considered.

Win 250,000 With BetMGM's Golden Goals Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Outback Heat

Sovereign Bay

Sintra

Not a strong maiden by any means and newcomer SINTRA who ticks plenty of boxes on paper could well be the answer, with confidence behind in the betting bolstering that view. Pendella, was a very promising second on debut at Southwell 7 weeks ago and looks sure to be suited by this step up to 1m, she's a serious danger. Sovereign Bay and Outback Heat are another pair of debutants to note. 

Always Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Classified Stakes

I Can Boogy

Sir Maxi

That Lucas Fella

ANNALEE LASS won at this C&D last year and returned to form when third here 25 days ago. She gets the nod ahead of That Lucas Fella, who has been consistent at this track lately. Wrist Art has been competitive in similar events the last twice is another to consider.

Bet 10 Get 40 With BetMGM Apprentice Handicap

Sea Legend

Tasever

Concert Boy

SEA LEGEND looks on a dangerous mark after confirming his return to form when sticking to his task at this C&D 15 days ago and is worth persevering with despite a lengthy winless run. Pallas Lord went close over this C&D on Saturday and is feared most ahead of Concert Boy.  

Punchestown

ThatPrizeGuy.co.uk P.P. Hogan Memorial Cross Country Chase

Vanillier

The Goffer

Conflated

Enda Bolgert boasts a terrific record in this race and FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES could be another for the yard. A high-class chaser a few seasons back, he is interesting on his second start in a cross-country chase on the back of a couple of spins in open points in November, which will have blown away the cobwebs. Last year's winner Vanillier looks a big danger and is second choice ahead of the Gordon Elliott-trained duo, The Goffer and Conflated.

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Chase

Crecora Hills

Sophia Rose

Having made an impressive winning reappearance at Naas in November, CRECORA HILLS ran just as well from her much-inflated mark when a keeping on third at this course (19.7f) 5 weeks ago. Unexposed granted this sort of test, she shades preference over Gaoth Chuil who is potentially very well treated on her hurdle exploits now handicapping in this sphere. Sophia Rose and Nine Graces are others with sound claims. 

ThatPrizeGuy.co.uk Maiden Hurdle

Too Bossy For Us

Mino Des Mottes

Speculateur

A useful stayer on the Flat, TOO BOSSY FOR US wasn't disgraced in Grade 1s at two of the big spring festivals last season and he looks the way to go with his sights now significantly lowered.  Speculateur chased home one of the selection's stablemates on debut in this sphere at Clonmel and, open to improvement, he is greatly respected. Mino Des Mottes and Forceonmyown, representing the yard's responsible for Too Bossy For Us and Speculateur, can do battle for minor honours.

Agameoftwohalves

Good Option

AGAMEOFTWOHALVES and Good Option may well retain more potential than most here and could be the pair to focus on. The former is firmly expected to be suited by this step back up in trip and shades preference before market clues. Can Happen is another in with a shout.

ThatPrizeGuy.co.uk Novice Handicap Hurdle

James The Brave

Lough Nigara

MOJOE confirmed previous promise and was deserving of extra credit when making a winning handicap debut here (19.3f) 23 days ago, coming from further back than the trio that he beat. He appeals as the type to progress further now he's up and running and earns the vote to follow up. Take Stock is another who likely has more to offer and is feared. Fairyhouse scorer Needs Must and Lumiere du Large complete the shortlist.

Fillyoureye

Frankie's Freebie

Therhythmofthenite

THAT DANNY FEELING signalled he is ready to strike over hurdles when an excellent second in a big-field novice at Clonmel last time out and can add to his two bumper victories here. Cork runner-up Frankie's Freebie could emerge as the main danger, although both Fillyoureye and Bergamasquo remain with potential and could also have a say in an intriguing maiden.  

ThatPrizeGuy.co.uk Mares Handicap Hurdle

Pebble Bleu

Slotty Dotty

Catchabird

A case can be made for a few of these but MAGIC BOUM signalled she is ready to go in again when an excellent recent Navan fourth so edges the vote from Thurles scorer Pebble Bleu who rates a big threat under a 7 lb penalty. Catchabird is weighted to go well too but her stamina has to be taken on trust, while Watching The Clock and Katie Daniels command respect too.
