Once More For Luck

Yacowlef

Shouldvebeenaring

KERDOS looks a useful sprinter in the making and should be spot on after last month's fine Lingfield reappearance. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive opener. Pinafore and Changing Colours head the list of dangers. 

bet365 Wood Ditton Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Passenger

Kathab

New Business

The market should provide plenty of clues with no form to go on, but ENRICO CARUSO hails from a yard that has won the last 2 renewals of this maiden, so is an obvious place to start. The Simon & Ed Crisford stable has an excellent record with 3-y-o newcomers so Penzance and Tribute are other likely types.

Garrus

Commanche Falls

Provided he is fully tuned-up, CREATIVE FORCE will prove hard to beat for his powerful, in-form connections. The 5-y-o failed to add to his tally in 2022 but performed with plenty of credit in four of the hottest sprints of the season and this should serve as the perfect springboard for a return to Group 1 company soon enough. Garrus, who was only just denied in this race 12 months ago, is second choice ahead of Ehraz and Jumby.

bet365 Craven Stakes (Group 3)

Indestructible

The Foxes

Charlie Appleby has an excellent record in the Craven and again looks to hold sway with his MYSTERIOUS NIGHT, who won at Woodbine when last seen and could have more to offer over 1m. Royal Lodge victor The Foxes and Mostabshir should ensure this is no one-horse race however.

Rossdales Maiden Fillies' Stakes (GBB Race)

Prepense

Spring Dawn

Britannica

PREPENSE produced a very promising debut effort when runner-up behind subsequent Fillies' Mile heroine Commissioning here last summer and, whilst she couldn't build on that at Chester, there's a good chance she can get back on the up following a wind op. Time's Eye, runner-up in a C&D event in the autumn and Britannica (narrowly behind her) can emerge as the chief threats, whilst Spring Dawn is a newcomer to note. 

bet365 British EBF 'Confined' Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Waipiro

Liberty Lane

Ibrahimovic

LIBERTY LANE looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut at Nottingham in the autumn and a couple of Group 1 entries suggest he's been showing all the right signs at home. A successful reappearance is therefore a distinct possibility, for all there's plenty of depth to this novice with Quantum Cat and Majestic Warrior also unbeaten and likely to improve plenty.

Harry Magnus

Havana Blue

Chartwell House

Nogo's Dream

The finale can go the way of HARRY MAGNUS, who got off the mark at Kempton earlier this year and remains capable of better now handicapping with a tongue tie added. Heading the list of dangers is Giant, whose runner-up effort at Kempton has been boosted by the third and fourth winning since, while Havana Blue and Naaser are two others who merit consideration.

Cheltenham

NAF Challenger Series Mares' Hurdle Final Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Malaita

Merry Poppins

Windtothelightning

Sashenka

This is fiercely competitive but WINDTOTHELIGHTNING still appears to have a lot of improvement left in her and she's fancied to complete a hat-trick. Dollar Bae and Lone Star, another pair of improving types, could pose a serious threat, while there are a whole host of others for whom a case can be made.

British EBF Mares' Novices' Limited Handicap Chase Final (Grade 2) (GBB Race)

Walk In Clover

Effernock Fizz

La Renommee

An interesting final of the series and if there's a runner with the potential to be better than their mark it's LA DOMANIALE, who should come on plenty for last month's return at Warwick. Fairfield Ferrata and Tweed Skirt are feared most. 

Catesby Estates Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed Race) (GBB Race)

Ahorsewithnoname

Zestful

I Spy A Diva

QUEENS ROCK has been kept fresh for this since making a mockery of her opening mark at Doncaster (19.4f) in early February, which can't be a bad thing, especially at this stage of the season, so she looks to have a fair bit going for her. Deeply Superficial and Lutinebella head the dangers. 

Sporting Agenda Challenger Series Mares' Chase Final Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

My Silver Lining

Juniper

Rose Of Arcadia

GAZETTE BOURGEOISE is becoming well handicapped and is worth another chance having failed to stay a marathon trip at Exeter last time. Rose of Arcadia had plenty in hand when scoring at Fontwell so is a player, while Lady Kk responded well to this headgear when winning with a bit to spare at Taunton. 

Safran Landing Systems Fillies' Juvenile Handicap Hurdle (Premier Handicap) (GBB Race)

Sky Bet paying 4 places instead of 3

Under Control

Pretending

Media Naranja

The one with the most obvious potential is Irish-raider MEDIA NARANJA, who delivered a fluent round of jumping when opening her account from the front at Limerick. This is tougher but her opening mark looks fair and she may well be equal to the task. The Nicky Henderson-trained duo Arclight and Under Control rate the main dangers, with the former feared most, for all that she is the apparent second-string judged on jockey bookings. Komedy Kicks and Obsessedwithyou are live each-way candidates.

Stay In The Montpellier Town House Mares' Handicap Chase

Pink Legend

Royale Margaux

Preference is for ROYALE MARGAUX, who looks nicely treated and offered more for her current yard at Ascot last time. Pink Legend is feared most. 

Spreadex Sports Get 50 Bet Bonuses Mares' Open NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

Micks Jet

Mighty Moth

Mary

Lots with chances but the vote goes to DONTYAWANTME who just holds the edge on form and also looked to have more to offer when third in a Sandown listed bumper last time. Mary seems sure to build on her debut Warwick second and rates the chief threat, although Irish point winner Bobbi's Beauty and Musselburgh-scorer El Elefante both need considering too along with the re-hooded Whisperonthewind. 

Ripon

Go Racing In Yorkshire Apprentice Handicap

Dogged

Hortzadar

Global Spirit

HORTZADAR slipped down the weights towards the end of last season and returns to action over a C&D that suits him well, so he might be worth chancing in an open-looking race. Sandret is a danger for an in-form yard and Global Spirit seems likely to give another good account.

Club Tropicana British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Ziggy's Phoenix

Desert Master

One of only two with previous experience, ZIGGY'S PHOENIX showed promise and rates the type to improve from her recent Kempton debut effort 8 days ago and she gets the tentative vote to come out on top. Desert Master, Kandy House and Stage Door are all newcomers to note in the betting. 

William Hill Ripon Champion Bonus 2023 Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Kardia

KINGSLEY PRIDE holds the edge on form so is fancied to go one better than when a very good Kempton nursery second in December having since been gelded. Fox Vision still looks to have better days ahead of him and is feared most ahead of Kardia, who can enhance her form now her stamina is drawn out more. 

Queen Ethelburga's Collegiate Handicap

Bay Breeze

Showtime Mahomes

Iris Dancer

Race fitness is likely to be an advantage given the conditions and dual C&D-winner BAY BREEZE ticks plenty of boxes having shaped better than the bare result at Musselburgh on his return. There are plenty of potential dangers, however, including the veteran Muscika and last year's winner Fortamour. 

Ripon 'Cock O' The North' Handicap

James McHenry

Spioradalta

JAMES MCHENRY finished only fourth at Newcastle on his nursery debut when last seen, though he did race more towards the near side than the first 3, so he's worth another chance with the form of his previous runner-up effort at Southwell working out well. He can see off the challenge of Violeta, while Centre Court could make another bold bid under a penalty.

Ripon Silver Bowl Handicap

Cockalorum

Society Red

Strawman

PAINTERS PALETTE has made a fine start for Rebecca Menzies, scoring twice at Wolverhampton. Unpenalised for last week's victory, he gets the nod to complete the hat-trick returned to turf. Whitefeathersfall rates next best, with Cockalorum and Strawman others fancied to be thereabouts. 

Spreadex Sports Get 50 In Bonuses Handicap

Another Baar

Wreck It Ryley

Cinque Verde

HAVANA RUM reacted really well to cheekpieces when a taking winner at Newcastle in October and having been gelded ahead of reappearance for his in-form yard, there's every chance he will pick up where he left off. Wreck It Ryley and Purple Martini are fit and in form so they are fancied to get involved.

Chelmsford City

chelmsfordcityracecourse.com Restricted Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)

Monte Linas

Cue's Beau

CUE'S BEAU may have been sent off at big odds on her debut, but she caught the eye with her finishing effort when runner-up at Kempton last month and she can build on that effort to go one better. Flame Spirit got back on track when third at Wolverhampton last time and could be the main danger, with Monte Linas the pick of the newcomers.

Ministry Of Sound 2nd September Handicap

Priscilla's Wish

Wyvern

Letmelivemylife

LETMELIVEMYLIFE hasn't looked back since joining Sean Curran and a 2 lb rise in the weights for his latest C&D success doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from completing a four-timer. Both Wyvern and Mobashr arrive in good nick and can chase home the selection in that order. 

CCR Handicap

Cavalluccio

Kentucky Kingdom

Mc'ted

KENTUCKY KINGDOM is 4 lb below his last winning mark and served notice that he's ready to cash in when runner-up over C&D a week ago, just failing. He makes plenty of appeal, with Kenilworth King and The Bay Warrior potential threats.

Betsi Handicap

Haunted Dream

Simply Sondheim

An intriguing contest with the narrow vote in favour of CITY STREAK. He ended last term on the up, beaten only by one who subsequently finished runner-up at listed level and, still low mileage on all-weather, it's likely he can do better again as a 4-y-o. The likeable Haunted Dream and prolific winner Simply Sondheim are others fancied to be in the mix. 

Racing Welfare Handicap

Saaheq

Mustaffiz

Araifjan

MUSTAFFIZ was a bit too keen for his own good at Wolverhampton last time and is worth another chance back down to 5f given the form he was in. Saaheq and Red Walls are feared most. 

Bosh Handicap

My Roxanne

Concorde

CONCORDE proved a different proposition on the back of being gelded/6 months off when bolting up on handicap debut at Redcar 3 days ago and he's hard to oppose under a penalty with the prospect of more to come. My Roxanne may be one who gives the selection most to think about. 

Ladies Day 22nd June Handicap

Cedar Cage

World Without Love

KISS MY FACE has been thriving lately and he's fancied to complete a four-timer despite the presence of World Without Love, who could find some improvement this year. The remaining trio can all have a case made for them, also.

Kilbeggan

Spring Two Day N.H. Race Meeting Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)

Wasthatok

Flidais

Bridgehead

A case of quantity over quality which may develop into a match between BRIDGEHEAD and Ages of Man, the former taken to go one better than on both previous efforts in this sphere provided he's ready to roll after 6 months off. Wasthatok and So They Tell Me can battle out third spot. 

Spring Two Day N.H. Race Meeting Maiden Hurdle (Div 2)

Charlie Luciano

Up And Out

Arnacoeur

Having finished runner-up twice in this sphere last year, CHARLIE LUCIANO gets the verdict to go one better arriving on the back of a spin on the level at Dundalk early last month. Starman was a very disappointing favourite at Clonmel last month, but he may well get back on track here, with Up And Out and He Picked Us another couple to consider. 

Follow Kilbeggan On Instagram Handicap Hurdle (80-109)

The Big Chap

Laser Focus

Mister Wilson

SET POINT was fairly useful on the Flat and, while he hasn't reached that level yet over hurdles, there's every chance he will improve now handicapping, so he's preferred to Doyenna, who is down in grade. Tipp For Mac looked likely to win had he not unseated at the last at Downpatrick 18 days ago, so he's another obvious player.

Follow Kilbeggan On Facebook Handicap Hurdle (80-102)

Lucky Zebo

Mister Twist

General Clermont

SHE'S TOBIAS shaped well on several occasions last season and is open to improvement back up in trip starting out for a new stable, so he's worth chancing. Lucky Zebo might well get back on the up, so he's regarded as a danger along with last-time-out winner Bal de Rio.

KilbegganRaces.com Handicap Hurdle (80-109)

Desert Heather

Townhill Penny

Whip Whitaker

BALLYGLASS BEAUTY should be spot on after his encouraging Thurles third after a break so this course winner gets the vote in an open-looking handicap. Dr Val is also handily weighted and next on the list, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out more improvement, with in-form duo Townhill Penny and Cheerful Chap completing the shortlist. 

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race

Final Decision

River Tara

Oneforthefairgreen

FINAL DECISION left her previous form behind when third at Thurles last time, keeping on having been denied a clear run home turn, and she can build on that effort to open her account this time around. The 4-y-o is taken to get the better of the consistent I Am Shadow, while Slim Marvel could progress from her Rules debut.

Racing Again Tomorrow Flat Race

Tommy Time

Brandt

Chrisco

CHRISCO made a promising start, despite failing to land the odds, when third at Fairyhouse so can take a step forward here and get off the mark at the chief expense of Brandt who also looks to have better days ahead of him judged on his debut Punchestown sixth. Soldante has the form to play a part too and rates the pick of the rest. 

Tipperary

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race

Son Of Corballis

Edwardian

LEAP YEAR is bred for a bit further than 1m but should have enough speed to be able to make a winning start at the possible expense of his stablemate Edwardian, who is also by No Nay Never. Expecto could improve for her initial experience, so she's worthy of consideration, too.

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden

Amazon Lady

Parting Glass

Linger For Longer

DAISY JONES ran a cracker first time up last season and is still low mileage for her age. She can open her account. Beaumadier and Parting Glass can also make their presence felt. 

Tipperary Town Maiden

New Variant

King Leodegrance

NEW VARIANT showed improved form in line with the step up in trip when third at Leopardstown (10f) on return 2 weeks ago and with this even greater test worth exploring he could well put his experience to good use and come out on top. Albert Park, on debut, and likely-improver King Leodegrance can provide the chief threats.

TipperaryRacecourse.ie Handicap

Burren Song

Taipan

Chally Chute

Plenty to consider in this useful handicap but NEWFOUNDLAND appeals as the type to make a better 4-y-o so he gets the vote on reappearance. Taipan and Burren Song are fit and in form and they look the chief threats.

Racing Again At Tipperary On May 4th Race

Villanova Queen

Casanova

C&D winner SALTONSTALL confirmed himself as good as ever at the age of 9 with solid efforts both starts this spring, latterly when fourth at listed level, and he could be the answer to what rates a tricky puzzle. Villanova Queen remains low-mileage and is feared on return, with Indian Wish, on debut for Joseph O'Brien, and Casanova completing the shortlist.

Tipperary Handicap (47-65)

SECRET SAUCE showed improved form when second on his handicap bow at Bellewstown on his return 2 weeks ago despite taking a while to get going and can go one place better with this longer trip to his advantage. Handicap-debutants Real History and Notturno head the dangers.
