Tongue Strap worn by No 6. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No 1, 5. Stewards Note:

MOLE COURT: Following its run on 18/11/2023 it was reported that the horse would prefer a faster surface.

Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Glencassley (IRE), 4-1 Mole Court (IRE), 11-2 Touchy Feely (GB), 6-1 Eyed (GB), 8-1 Pearly Island (GB), 12-1 El Rio (IRE)

PLAY SMARTER

MOLE COURT wasn’t seen to best effect at Cheltenham when last seen 5 months ago but he’d been highly progressive as a chaser priorto that and looks capable of getting back on the up now freshened up Glencassley is an obvious threat on the back of a successful chasing debut and Touchy Feely isn’t without hope.

Stewards Note:

THE DARK EDGE: Following its run on 21/2/2024 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

JUST CHASING MAY: Following its run on 27/3/2024 it was reported that the horse lost a shoe.

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Highway One O Five (IRE), 5-1 Spirit of Regulus (IRE), 8-1 Scudamore (FR), Just Chasing May (GB), 10-1 GrasshopperTime (IRE), 12-1 The Dark Edge (IRE), 18-1 Champagne Town (GB), 25-1 Times Are Blue (IRE), Endofconversation (GB), 28-1 Fox’s Socks (FR), 50-1 Ferrobin (IRE)

HIGHWAY ONE O FIVE arrives on the back of a couple of creditable efforts and he still looks well treated based on bumper form, so he’s a confident choice to open his account in a race where most have something to prove Spirit of Regulus is liable to bounce back after a break, so he’s considered the main threat ahead of Scudamore.

PLAY SMARTER

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and COPERNIC DU MAZET is fancied to build on his recent Huntingdon second and get the better of Ballynaheer this time on these 6lb more advantageous terms. David Dennis’ scorer could still emerge as the main danger though, with handicapping debutant Saxons Lane also well in the mix.

PLAY SMARTER

CALL THE DANCE was quite impressive when landing a big-field novice at Wincanton in January and she’s certainly in the right hands to progress again now handicapping. Stay If U Want To could also be better than his opening mark based on his bumper form, with Parc d’Amour completing the shortlist.

BALHAMBAR is firmly on the up for the Harry Derham yard and can complete a quick hat-trick. Although Kado de Joie failed to fire on his Ascot handicap debut his mark looks very workable on his Market Rasen juvenile win and he might give the selection most to do ahead of fellow unexposed sorts Flight of Freedom and Dancing In Brazil.
