1.50 TRUMP LADY (IRE); 2.25 HOLLYMOUNT HOLLY (IRE); 5.50 WHEESHT (IRE); 6.50 ROBIN DES SMOKE (IRE); 8.00 HELLO SUNSHINE (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

TRUMP LADY struggled off her initial handicap mark when upped to an extended 3m1f at Hereford, but she earned that figure of 118 when scoring on soft ground at Warwick on New Year's Eve, and the return to novice company can pay dividends. Hollymount Holly flopped on her reappearance, but was promising before that and can't be written off just yet. Robin Des Smoke chased home a runaway winner at Wetherby and also enters the equation.

Forecast:

1.20 FAUSTINOVICK; 1.75 FORGOT TO ASK (IRE); 3.00 SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE.

Preview:

None of these would be winning out of turn, but maybe the application of blinkers can spark the necessary improvement in FAUSTINOVICK. Colin Tizzard's seven-year-old has hit the crossbar on each of his last four outings and is expected to appreciate the slight rise in distance. Forgot To Ask has occupied the runner-up berth the last twice, although his latest Wincanton conqueror has done nothing for the form since. Special Acceptance pulled up in the Devon National but likes this venue.

2.00 JUNGLE PROSE (IRE); 2.50 ROOKIE TRAINER (IRE); 3.50 EVERYTHING FOR YOU (IRE); 5.50 ALBERT HUCKLEBUCK (IRE); 8.00 KHAN (GER).

Preview:

Jungle Prose made the frame twice at this circuit towards the end of 2020, but she failed to fire here most recently and is passed over in favour of ROOKIE TRAINER. The Neil Mulholland-trained gelding finished a creditable fourth in a competitive event at Wincanton and competes off the same rating now. He also has the benefit of a subsequent wind operation. Everything For You is well treated if he can bring his Flat form to the table, although that is a big 'if'.

1.10 EAGLEHILL (FR); 4.00 TRIBESMANS GLORY (IRE); 5.00 BRIDLE LOANAN (IRE); 6.50 AWAY FOR SLATES (IRE); 7.00 PRESENT FROM DUBAI (IRE).

Preview:

EAGLEHILL apparently improved for a mid-winter holiday and slightly better ground when breaking his chasing duck at the second attempt at Taunton towards the beginning of the month. The handicapper has hit him with a 7lb rise but it shouldn't be enough to stop him following up in an event that may not take much winning. Tribesmans Glory has twice got rid of his rider since landing a Bangor contest in October. Bridle Loanan also unseated last time, although both are capable of getting involved with a clear round.

Preview:

TRACTOR FRED burst into life over C&D last week, cruising to the front a fair way from home and coming clear with any amount in hand. Page Fuller got two days for using her whip when the race was sewn up, but she is back in the saddle here and her mount can defy a 7lb penalty. Fuller was also on board Dylanseoghan when he registered a determined victory, also over track and trip, and he looks the primary threat, although Magic River was in decent form prior to his early Fakenham departure on Friday.

Forecast:

Preview:

Darkest Day has made the frame in a couple of C&D handicaps, as well as a jumpers' bumper at Lingfield, so certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. However, MI LADDO has been much improved on the level since joining the Milton Harris team and looks well treated in this sphere. Devious Dicks Dame was in front of Good Bye when they took minor honours here last week, although she was 66/1 on that occasion and isn't guaranteed to confirm the form.
