Agriculture And Equine Courses At SRUC Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Stressfree

Gemini Man

Natzor

This looks a good opportunity for STRESSFREE to build on a promising first effort over hurdles at Catterick on New Year's Day. Supreme George might be the one to follow him home unless the betting speaks in the favour of hurdle newcomer Natzor, a former stablemate of the selection. 

Racing TV Profits Returned To Racing Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Lizzie Luna

Jasmine D'airy

This could go the way of Lucinda Russell's point winner HAY MEADOW who shaped well on her debut in this sphere when fourth at Hexham and could take a sizeable step forward now her stamina is unlocked. Vanilla Dancer is much more exposed but arrives at the top of her game and rates a big threat, while Jasmine d'Airy and Lizzie Luna also have the form to play a part.

Beat The Retreat

Coral Blue

Looking Splendid

This certainly isn't the strongest race for the grade, and LOOKING SPLENDID has shown enough in handicaps over this sort of distance to suggest he is more than capable of winning this. Coral Blue performed  with plenty of credit in a stronger race over C&D two weeks ago, so he is a danger, as is handicap-debutant Good Company who could be better than what he's shown in novice company.

George Crawford Legacy Trust Handicap Chase

Minella Youngy

Low Mileage

Henry Gray

BRAVETHEWAVES proved none the worse for his spill on chasing debut when off the mark under a confident ride at Catterick last month and can defy a 6 lb rise. The low-mileage Henry Gray is of interest back over fences, while Divas Doyen is another to consider if her latest run can be forgiven.

Evenwood Sonofagun

Star Vantage

Anamanda

STAR VANTAGE hasn't been with the Rebecca Menzies' yard long and again ran well when chasing home a stablemate at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Clear of the remainder that day, he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark and earns the vote re-united with Brian Hughes. Take A Hike and Anamanda are others fancied to feature, with handicap-debutante Reflection Of You another to note, particularly if the market spoke in her favour.

Red Happy

Ganapathi

JEM IN EM is less exposed than these over fences so can build on his very good Newcastle second last time out and gain a first win in this sphere. In-form C&D scorer Cardamon Hill rates a big danger however, while Hold Onto The Line and Whosmydaddy also need factoring into this open handicap chase.

King Ulanda

Milajess

Heart Above

MILAJESS is a long-standing maiden but she did bump into a handicap blot at Sedgefield last week and this might finally be her day. Heart Above was at the top of his game when last seen in November and heads the dangers along with Trailblazer. Handicap-newcomer King Ulanda would also be of interest if the betting vibes are strong.

Win 1M With BetMGM's Golden Goals Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Winnebago

Dancing Terror

WINNEBAGO was beaten only by a couple of useful sorts when twice runner-up at Yarmouth in the autumn and this looks an excellent opportunity. Andrew Balding's newcomer Express Train may emerge as the biggest threat with Dancing Terror winning just an ordinary C&D novice on New Year's Eve.

Coolagh Magic

Beaumadier

Harry Brown

POP DANCER wasn't seen to best effect when fourth behind Rosenpur at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago so is worth another chance off a tempting mark. Rosenpur is an obvious threat again with Coolagh Magic another to consider. 

Gamble Responsibly At BetMGM Handicap

Bravo Zulu

Rey De La Batalla

Invincible Aura

The extended 1m at Wolverhampton seemed to just stretch INVINCIBLE AURA last time and he can resume winning ways. Thapa Vc, Diamondonthehill and Bravo Zulu head the dangers in a competitive handicap. 

Weekly Free Bets With BetMGM Extra Handicap

Commendation

Virtue Temperance

Early Release

The thriving FRANKIES DREAM improved again in defeat at Southwell last week and may be able to land a fourth win of 2025. Rossa Ryan's mount Monomyth is second choice ahead of Early Release and Commendation, a new recruit for Michael Keady. 

BetMGM: It's Showtime Classified Stakes (Div 1)

Conquest Of Power

Iftikhaar

Repartee

CONQUEST OF POWER settled better than can be the case and ran well when finishing runner-up over the extended 1m trip at Wolverhampton 6 days ago. He looks to hold solid claims with a repeat at this level and earns the vote. Fact Or Fable and So Chic may emerge next best.

BetMGM: It's Showtime Classified Stakes (Div 2)

Taskheer

Alice's Impact

Brinton

CAPALLCLISTE went close to breaking his duck on 3 of his last 4 starts during the second half of last season and he could be worth siding with to make a winning start for his new yard here. Brinton is proving consistent and she's a threat, with Rainbow Sign and Alice's Impact also in with a shout.

Arcadian Nights

Hitched

Not Me

A case can be made for most of these but ARCADIAN NIGHTS ran out an emphatic winner at Chelmsford City last time and is taken to defy a 3 lb weight rise. Not Me heads the list of dangers on the back of a good Southwell fourth with the promise of more to come over this longer distance. Raintown, Epsom Faithfull and Waterloo Sunset can all have a say too.  

Extra Winnings With BetUK Acca Club Handicap (Div 1)

Venus Slipper

Baikal

Formal Address

HONRADO took a step forward for his current yard when a clear second here last time out and with the winner having scored again since he is fancied to get off the mark. Baikal is feared most on the back of a recent C&D success, although Come On John is weighted to go well too and both Nasim and Venus Slipper must also enter calculations.  

Extra Winnings With BetUK Acca Club Handicap (Div 2)

Dubai Harbour

Sir Laurence Graff

Rolypolymoly

In a trappy event, it may be worth siding with ROLYPOLYMOLY who showed plenty of promise on his first run for nearly a year and is entitled to build on that with a more experienced jockey taking over in the plate. Mr Trick shaped well when short of room at a crucial stage last time, while Sir Laurence Graff had an even rougher passage when narrowly defeated over C&D last month.

Punchestown

Concept Colours Rated Novice Chase

RELEASE THE BEAST confirmed chase debut promise when opening his account in a 7-runner maiden at Limerick (17.7f) 52 days ago and he's fancied to make another bold bid in this stronger affair, with further progress in the offing. Springt de La Mare is another open to improvement and feared on the back of his chase debut success. Waterford Whispers is another on the shortlist returned to calmer waters.

QuinnBet Beginners Chase

Smart hurdler HIGH CLASS HERO made an encouraging debut in this sphere after 8 months off when second in a similar event here on New Year's Eve and is preferred to his stablemate Loughglynn and Mint Boy, who's back at a more suitable trip. 

QuinnBet Grand National Trial Handicap Chase (Listed)

VELVET ELVIS was reinvigorated by the return to chasing and the addition of cheekpieces when running the race of his life to finish second in the Thyestes Chase at Gowran last month and can go one better back down in grade. Kings Halo and Favori de Champdou head the dangers. 

Madigan Group Irish EBF Sheila Bourke Novice Hurdle (Listed)

Willie Mullins' C'EST TA CHANCE got off to a successful start at Clonmel and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Navan second last time out. William Munny also has better days ahead of him though so should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way. Taponthego, The Great Nudie and Disco Dancer all warrant respect too in an intriguing listed contest.   

Kilkea Castle Hotel & Golf Resort Maiden Hurdle

Bumper winner DR EGGMAN became expensive to follow over hurdles last season but this looks an excellent opportunity for Willie Mullins' 7-y-o, and he's fancied to come out on top after 9 months off. Hello Jack, Last Kingdom and Youlita are others to consider. Pookie Holler is another expected to do better. 

David Trundley Artist At Punchestown Novice Handicap Hurdle

DUFFYS HODEY is in the form of his life, and he may find enough improvement over this longer trip to defy the handicapper once again. Misty Milan was well backed when a promising fifth on her reappearance and it would be no surprise to see her go close. Beggars Rock could well bounce back to form if taking up this engagement, while Must Go Now deserves an honourable mention in a competitive novice handicap.

Willie Mullins has won the last 3 runnings of this bumper and can make it 4 in a row with GAMEOFINCHES, who was the ready winner of a point in November. Cosmos d'Ainay is another point winner who has joined a top yard for his Rules career and is second choice ahead of Gavin Cromwell's Begorra Man, who displayed plenty of ability when fifth in a warm maiden hurdle at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting on debut.
