Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase

Fun Fun Fun

Karia Des Blaises

Iris Emery

The low-mileage MAJESTIC FORCE made a very promising start to her chase career when narrowly denied at Cork last month and is taken to go one better now. Chase newcomers Lantry Lady, a stablemate of the selection, and Fun Fun Fun both tasted success at Grade 3 level over hurdles last season and may provide the main opposition.

Race And Stay Handicap Chase

The Other Mozzie

Silver King

LAZER WOLF proved a different proposition switched to handicap company when scoring in good style at Clonmel last month and looks one to follow. His stablemate The Other Mozzie is next best ahead of Aslukwoodhavit, who has a good record fresh. 

Racing Post Novice Chase (Grade 2)

Ile Atlantique

Firefox

INTHEPOCKET showed no ill-effects of having been sidelined for nearly 12 months when bolting up at Wexford in October and, with further progress on the cards, Henry de Bromhead's 8-y-o is fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride at the expense of Ile Atlantique, who couldn't have been much more impressive first time up over fences at Navan last month. Firefox, who ran a cracker when narrowly denied at the top-level last time, rounds off the shortlist. 

Lawlor's Of Naas Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)

The Yellow Clay

Supersundae

Wingmen

A cracking renewal, with the vote awarded to JASMIN DE VAUX, who was one of the very best bumper performers around last season and with his opening hurdles win under his belt, there's plenty more to come over this trip. The Yellow Clay finished behind the selection at Cheltenham but has garnered plenty of experience over obstacles and can boast a superb attitude. He's a big threat, along with Butch Cassidy.

I.N.H. Stallion Owners Irish EBF Maiden Hurdle

Joystick

Honesty Policy

Los Blanco

Useful bumper winner JOYSTICK gets the nod to build on a promising first effort over hurdles at Punchestown last month. Icare d'Aubrelle rates an obvious danger on the back of his encouraging first attempt over hurdles. Henry de Bromhead pair Trasna Na Pairce and Los Blanco and Gordon Elliott's Honesty Policy are interesting hurdle newcomers. 

Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle

Doctor Churchill

Krabat

Dalmatic

Miss Lia

KRABAT hinted at a revival when a good fifth in a big-field Fairyhouse handicap last time out so looks the way to go here off a lenient mark. Giant Haystacks is feared most on the back of his recent Leopardstown victory, although Miss Lia, Dalmatic and Moylussa can also have a say in this open handicap.

Fifty Stars At Sunnyhill Stud (Pro/Am) Flat Race

Light Up The Dark

Scarriff Bridge

Ripsnorter

The market will help shape this but as things stands, LIGHT UP THE DARK, Test The Market and Chez Fred look the interesting candidates on paper and are preferred in that order.

Chepstow

Thank You For Renewing Chepstow Annual Members Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Katate Dori

Stellar Stream

KATATE DORI took very well to his new discipline when making a winning chase bow at Exeter on Wednesday and can defy a penalty given how much he had in hand that day. Stellar Stream was better than the bare result at Exeter last month and is interesting back on a winning mark with cheekpieces re-fitted, while Shot Boii shaped as if his turn is near at Lingfield. 

Dunraven Windows / EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Carismatic Soldier

Nowmelad

Magna Victor

CARISMATIC SOLDIER made a promising start when runner-up in a Leicester novice and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better here. Dual-scorer Nowmelad appeals as the one to chase home Olly Murphy's son of Soldier of Fortune, with hurdling-newcomer Cornish Comedy and the unexposed Following Chapter the pick of the rest for minor honours. 

22nd February Chepstow Beer&Cider Festival Raceday Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

CLONDAW GENERAL posted a very good fourth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time out and can resume winning ways back in these calmer waters. Chris Down's Wincanton scorer Prophesea should ensure he does't have things all his own way however, with Copper Jack next on the list. 

Congratulations 2024 WGN Winner Val Dancer Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

ILLICO DE COTTE has made a positive start over fences this season, making a winning return at Carlise before surrounded by subsequent winners when third there last month, and he can resume winning ways. Ballybentragh and Mahland should both come on for their comeback runs now going chasing and are possible threats. 

5th April Chepstow Grand National Raceday Handicap Chase

The Skelton team has taken things up a notch in recent weeks and JEFFERY'S CROSS can provide them with yet another winner after an encouraging reappearance third at Windsor after 19 months off recently. Thor de Cerisy was a dual C&D winner in the second half of last season, so he heads up the dangers returned to this venue, with Enjoy Your Life rounding off the shortlist provided he can put a dismal effort behind him. 

Albert Bartlett Triple Crown Series Handicap Hurdle

There's a feeling one of the unexposed sorts will step forward, with the suggestion being DANGEROUS TOUCH after his promising fourth at Warwick last time. A market move for Harry Derham handicap newcomer Casual Observer would make him a potential big threat. Valens Bruyee and Alan de Banks complete the shortlist. 

Chepstow Country & Western Raceday 7th June Open Maiden NH Flat Race (GBB Race)

GIANTSGRAVE fetched £92,000 following his runner-up effort in a point and, having been sent to Dan Skelton, he's sure to be very well prepared for this. He receives the vote in favour of newcomer Wannabe. 

Plumpton

BetGoodwin Master Trainer Chris Gordon Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Joe Tizzard and Brendan Powell combined to take this last year, and they can repeat the trick with LORD OF THUNDER, who ran respectably at Exeter last month and remains a chaser to view positively with a first-time tongue tie applied. Mark of Gold, who took advantage of Personal Ambition's last-fence blunder to make a winning start over fences at Ascot just over a fortnight ago, rates as the obvious danger. 

BetGoodwin Best UK Online Bookmakers Juvenile Hurdle (GBB Race)

Despite failing to land a gamble on last week's hurdles debut, RISK IT ALL showed plenty to work on at Kempton, ultimately finishing third, and with progress on the cards, he could be the answer. Morning Air was impressive when winning at Leicester and is sure to leave the bare form of that trailing in her wake. 

BetGoodwin Alan King EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Nicky Henderson's AS THE FELLA SAYS was an encouraging second on last month's Warwick hurdle debut and can make the most of the 7 lb he receives from previous winners The Bluesman and Jax Junior. 

BetGoodwin Sussex Stayers' Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

A winner at last year's Cheltenham Festival and second in a Grade 2 already this season, MONMIRAL could have too much class for these back in handicap company. With rain forecast the conditions are likely to be testing and he's shown he can cope with plenty of juice in the ground, as has Transmission who landed this race when it was soft underfoot last year. Cloud Dancer is unexposed over staying trips and he can get in the money. 

BetGoodwin Sussex National Handicap Chase

Evan Williams' progressive MINELLA BLUEWAY is the least exposed chaser in the field and gets the vote with this first try beyond 3m likely to yield further improvement. Last year's stylish victor Dom of Mary looks primed for another bold showing and is next on the list, although Animal, Unanswered Prayers, Broken Halo and East Street are all worthy of consideration too in a competitive Sussex National. 

BetGoodwin Super Tommy Cannon Handicap Chase

I SHUT THAT D'OR has won 2 of his last 3 starts (both over C&D) since switched to front-running tactics and he's sure to make another bold bid. Sun Joy left his chase bow behind when second at Sedgefield and is next best.

Zoe Davison Memorial Handicap Hurdle

A competitive 7-runner handicap. AGGAGIO could be the answer to this puzzle, having shaped better than his finishing position last time, so he's on a winnable mark if back on-song. Any market support for the selection would be significant. Recent runner-up Bucephalus and C&D winner Inferno Sacree both like to front run, and they can fill the placings and give Aggagio a nice lead into the race.

Bet With tabGOLD - The Intelligent Bet! Maiden Plate

ONE ARMED BANDIT is a long way clear on all known form and would be folly to ignore. Life On The Tides seems the most  likely to step into the breach if the selection fails to deliver on his debut, while Vila Vicosa is the tentative selection for third. .

www.tabgold.co.za Maiden Plate

TOP SEED shaped nicely first time up and should be more clued up still this time. Real War is most likely the main opposition, while Good Living is another with the potential to figure.

Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za Class 5 (F & M)

PINK DIAMOND looks the one to be with, albeit narrowly but will need to be firing on all cylinders. Fate Decreed might be the answer to second place, while Firecracker could also figure.

Gallop TV Class 4

DAPPER appears to have just enough in hand to take this but it's an open race. Tyrconnell rates the main threat, while Cabinet Shuffle is the third candidate for the three.

Open A tabGOLD Account - 031 314 1874 Class 4

IMPOSING should be bang there but it's open. Ralph The Rascal is probably the chief danger, while King's Island shouldn't be far away.

Gallop TV YouTube Channel Class 4 (F & M)

POURSOMESUGARONME continues to run creditably and should give backers a run for their money. Chelsea Flower gets the nod among the others, while Avernian Goddess is another who could figure.

African Holly Stakes

WILLIAM ROBERTSON has a very good chance on form and is up to winning this with something in hand. Shipholia may be the one for second, while Donquerari could also figure.

Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 5

NOW I GOT YOU's recent starts have had a lot to like about them and he is up to winning this. Teerex seems the leading challenger, while One Irish Rover is not out of it where the places are concerned.

Turffontein

4Racing Welcomes You Maiden Plate

KWAGGA BLITZ is as good as ever judged on his latest start and has prime claims. Copper Cliff could give the selection most to think about, while Spy Story comes into calculations for minor honours.

www.tab4racing.com Maiden Plate (F & M)

GIMME A STORM is just about the pick in this field and will probably take the beating. Pretty Precious gets the nod among the rest, while Great Notion also requires respect.

Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate (F & M)

ROAMING SPIRIT was beaten when prominent in the market last time, but looks the one to be with once again. Gerbera may be the best bet for second, while The Mightiest also seems unlikely to be far away.

For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Maiden Plate

MOUNTAIN HIGH is running well enough to merit close consideration but it's an open race. Mystic Vision looks the likeliest to chase the selection home, while Lightinthestorm also demands scrutiny.

Racing240 For Racing. For You Pinnacle Stakes

ZEUS formwise has a clear edge and has claims second to none. Red Maple can also take a hand, while Twin Turbo has a place chance as well.

Wolf Power 1600 (Listed) (Handicap)

TRUTH left his previous effort behind on his latest start and has leading claims. Pomodoro's Jet appeals most of the remainder, while Texas Red shouldn't be ruled out.

Betway Mother Russia Stakes (Grade 3) (3-Year-Old Fillies)

BAKWENA gets a narrow vote but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Vulcanite is also fancied to take a hand, while Salenio Peninsula could well have a say too.

Betway Got The Greenlight Stakes (Grade 3) (3-Year-Olds)

GREATERIX has an outstanding chance on form and is a straightforward pick. Fire Attack may be the best bet to chase the selection home, while Cosmic Speed edges things for third.
