A chance is taken here with last season’s surprise Punchestown winner, Buy Some Time. He reappeared three weeks ago for the first time after a wind op and is sure to come on for the run. He raced out the back throughout before making a bad mistake at the last, after which he was eased. That was his first run since last July, so it was sure to have been needed. He has won in April for each of the last two years, so this looks to have been a bit of a plan. At around 12/1, he rates a sporting each-way bet.

Likely favourite J J Moon may step up for the application of cheekpieces, as he has been outbattled in 2 of his last 3 runs. But at 7/4, I have to look elsewhere. Benign Dictator goes very well at this track with 2 wins and a 2nd from 3 runs here. He won here 4 runs back when there was a good pace on and he clocked a useful speed figure. He has possibly been unsuited by a slow pace in his last 3 runs but should get a good pace to aim at today. He has dropped to just 2 lb above his last winning mark, and his jockey takes off a useful 10 lb, which makes him look very well in. At around 9/1, he looks a solid each-way bet to finish in the first 2.

Testing Patience sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, but the form of the Thee Moore yard is a worry. Mr Finch has run two good races over hurdles, with the one poor run coming here. That was on heavy ground, which may not have suited. He dropped away after a mistake two out at Newbury last time, but that was a better race than this, and the form has worked out well. The yard have had a good season, and their fancied runners are generally running well. He has been backed this morning, and at around 7/4 he looks the nap of the day.

This looks a match between the two at the head of the market, with preference for the Henderson mare Viscountess Nelson. She may have just needed the run last time out after almost three months off and should come on for the run. The yard have few runners up here ??" only four in the past five seasons with one winner ??" and she is their only runner here today. She stays the trip and should be fine on the ground. She looks the one to beat.

I tipped Gasmani last time out when he scored over CD 13 days ago, and despite a 6 lb rise, I can see him following up. That day, Charlie Maggs travelled all the way to Taunton for just the one ride, and he does so again today before heading back up to Perth for two rides tomorrow. That says something. Having won over CD last time, he has conditions to suit, and at 4/1 he is worth following again to follow up.

Likely favourite Kilnew Supreme is rather short for a horse who has shown a tendency to race rather keenly. At the odds, I would rather take him on. Crest Of Stars won nicely here three runs back over an extended 2m before stepping up to this course and distance two runs back, though that was on heavy ground. He dropped back to the minimum last time, but his jumping let him down and, despite making late headway, he could not make up the ground. He should be worth another chance at the trip on this better ground, and with his jockey taking off a valuable 7 lb, he looks the one to beat here and overturn the short-priced favourite.

Maximum Offers showed improved form to score last time out and has shown he can carry this sort of weight. His last three runs have been over fences, but he reverts to hurdles today and races off 113, which looks winnable. He is suited by this trip and the better ground. As long as the six-day gap is not too quick and he reproduces his best, he should go close here.

Sogna In Grande went into my notebook when scoring last time out after a nasty bout of ringworm, following a stable debut win at Warwick in November. He looked in trouble turning for home last time, but once he got the gap he quickened up well and stayed on strongly. The race looked like it would tighten him up, and he seemed ready for a step up in trip, which he gets today. Likely favourite No Drama This End was being prepared for Cheltenham when nothing went his way after being left at the start. Whether he will be cherry ripe today, 42 days later, remains to be seen, and the yard is not in the best of form. At around 14/1, Sogna In Grande rates a sporting Nap of the day.

Fairye Forth went into my notebook after making his British and Rules debut at Chepstow at the beginning of the month where he was noted making headway as they left the back straight but could never land a blow. It was his first run in almost a year and he is well regarded. His trainer has said he has schooled well and while he is a chaser in the making, he is sure to come on for that run. He showed a bit of knee action so should be suited by the softer ground he gets here. McCain-Mitchell has a fair record for the stable with a winner & 3 places from 6 rides. He has been nibbled at in the market so at around 50/1, he rates a sporting each way Nap of the day.

Convergent has been weak in the market this morning, and his trainer has reported in the past that he wants just good ground, not quick. That is a worry today, as the ground may be too lively for him. Twenty-one of the last 22 winners were aged six or younger, which goes against Al Aasy and Phantom Flight. Lion’s Pride has been relatively lightly raced in the past three years, so should still have scope to improve for a yard that is going really well this spring. The trip and ground will be fine for him, and Ryan Moore is a significant booking, having won three or four for the yard this year. With conditions to suit, he looks the Nap of the day.

Likely favourite Senator has been progressive in three runs over hurdles and should go well. However, he gave the impression when winning last time that a step up in trip would suit, so still at the minimum on this better ground he may prove sharp enough. I have to take him on at the price. Knock Off Soxs has run in handicaps in his last two races and reverts to novice level today. He sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, and the yard have a good record here with one winner, a second and two thirds in the past five seasons. He should be suited by the drop back in trip and, at around 4/1, he rates the value bet.

May Angel went into my notebook after finishing 3rd in the Group 3 Acomb at York’s Ebor meeting behind the ill-fated Gewan, who was ante-post favourite for the 2,000 Guineas until his timely fatal gallop a few weeks back. He jumped out to make all at York and raced freely and jumped a road-crossing but was still beaten less than 7l. He then ran in the Group 3 Horris Hill over CD two months later and may have found the ground too soft that day. He has had a wind op and been gelded over the winter and now reappears in a Class 2 handicap. The stable has an excellent record with first runs after being gelded (13-49) and after a wind op (2-3) in the past two years. At around 8/1, he rates a solid each-way bet for his in-form stable to finish in the first four.

Classical Allusion has been all the rage in the market this morning on his handicap debut, having finished runner-up to Constitution Hill at Kempton. It is difficult to gauge the value of that form, but it is hard to get too excited about it. With the stable in decent form, it is easy to see why he has been backed, but both runs so far have been on the AW, so for me he has a bit to prove. Blazeon Five, on the other hand, progressed nicely last autumn, culminating with a win over this sort of trip at Southwell in December. She then ran in the AW Championship Trial at Newcastle in January, where she was held up out the back and was never going to get into the race but was staying on through the final furlong. She comes here off a three-month break and has proven she can win off a break in the past. The stable’s runners on the flat have been running pretty close to form, so at around 10/1 and with conditions to suit, she looks a sporting each-way bet to finish in the first two.

He last scored 13 months ago at Sandown over 3m on good ground and has hovered around the same handicap mark but has been racing in Class 2 for most of those runs since. He now drops to Class 2 and had a wind-op back in February. They have kept him fresh for this race, which the yard has won five times in the past nine seasons. At around 5/2, he rates the Nap of the day.

Dropmeatthestation just sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, but having had a wind op since his last run, he looks to have the edge. His three runs to date have all been over further than the minimum, and he has weakened from around two out in all of those races. He had a wind op almost six weeks ago, so presumably they found an issue. In addition, he drops back to 2m for the first time over hurdles, and as a prominent racer he should be able to race with the pace and kick on two or three out. He should see it out better today. At around 9/4, he rates the value bet.

Not the best of races for favourites and I fancy that will be held up again this year. The early favourite is the O'Brien-trained Hawk Mountain, but the Ballydoyle outfit don't have a great record in the Classic Trials and have never won this race. Hidden Force comes into this unbeaten, and the yard is in good form, but both of his runs have been on the AW, and it remains to be seen how he transfers that form to turf and the Rowley Mile. Oxagon was well behind Hawk Mountain in the Futurity last season but clearly didn't enjoy the heavy ground that day. He ran well in the Group 1 Dewhurst here last season and is said to have worked well in cheekpieces recently. Oisin has said he thinks he will be well suited by the 8f trip. He has been nicely backed this morning, so clearly a big run is expected. At around 5/1, he rates the Nap of the day.

He has had a two-month break to freshen him up, and the yard won the Nell Gwyn yesterday, so they have their string in good form. He has been nicely backed already this morning, and with Marco retaining the ride, who knows him well, he should be able to race with the pace, which can be a feature of the Rowley Mile. He has form at Group level, and if he runs to his best, he should go close today.

Blues Singer won last time out and does look suited by decent ground. His main rival drops in trip, and his win came on soft ground over 2.5m, so it remains to be seen whether the drop in trip suits on this better ground. At around 11/10, Blues Singer looks the one to be on.

In addition, the step up in trip should also suit, as he has plenty of stamina in his pedigree.

I have looked at trends from previous runnings to come up with my selection this year, and the one I have ended up with is Imperial Saint. He has sneaked in as a reserve, but the longer trip has long looked as if it would suit. He is fine on the better ground and has run well at the track a number of times, albeit on the Mildmay course. In addition, there is usually a ‘story’ to be told around the winner, and there are two angles here. One is that it is owned by the Richard Johnson Syndicate, and he never won it as a jockey. Also, Callum Pritchard has had a mare of a week, with a 12-day ban after mistaking the winning line a circuit early a few days back. It would be a nice story to make up for that. At around 50/1, he rates a sporting each-way bet to small stakes.

Not an inspiring race, but one to take the eye is Gasmani. He is lightly raced and probably needed the run on reappearance at Ascot at the end of December. He has been freshened up with a 110-day break since and comes here with the stable in good form, with 2 from their last 4 runners. In addition, the booking of Charlie Maggs takes the eye; he is 4-12 for the yard this season. Also, Maggs rarely comes this far south and it is his only ride today. At around 15/2, he looks the value bet.

This race centres around how Jango Baie comes here on the back of finishing 2nd in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. Henderson has decided against running Jonbon at this meeting but is happy to let Jango Baie take his chance today. He sets a clear standard and has 6 lb in hand over the second top-rated on adjusted RPRs. Of the horses that have come here after being placed 2nd??"4th in the Gold Cup, the ones that managed to win came here after a four-week break as opposed to the usual three weeks, and Jango Baie has that benefit. If he runs to his best, he should be unbeatable today and rates the Nap of the day.

Lulamba sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, but favourites have an awful record in this race in the past 10 years, with none winning. He made a mistake two out at Cheltenham which he could not recover from. He should be suited by stepping up in trip today, but the Henderson yard have not fired as well as expected in the past four days, and the stat against favourites is a big worry. Koktail Divin is second top rated, albeit a bit behind the favourite, and he should be suited; the drop in trip should also suit. He should be fine on the ground, and he ticks the stats boxes more than Lulamba. At around 3/1, he rates the value bet.

Minella Study has been a great advert for his small yard and ran a great race in the Triumph and looked the winner all the way until the run-in. He lost nothing in defeat and this less-stiff track should suit. He will be fine on the expected good-to-soft ground and, as long as he enjoys a trouble-free round, he can land his biggest race to date. The last 10 runnings of this have seen only one winner over 3/1, so it’s not a race for bigger-priced winners. At around 4/1, he looks the value bet.

Confinentic went into my notebook after scoring on his handicap debut last season when he looked unsuited by the soft ground. He was a little slow to come to hand this season, though that coincided with the stable having a slow time at the end of last year and the start of this one. The yard has improved over the last few weeks, and Confinentic comes here off a 30-day break. He was very disappointing last time, but his good form before that at Ascot came in a 0-125 and this is a 0-110. In a small field, he looks overpriced at around 5/1 and looks the value bet.

Only four runners and two have something to prove. One is coming here off a 533-day break and another was pulled up on both starts this season. Duhallow Tommy likes to force the pace and should get an uncontested lead here. The stable are bang in form, with their last two runners both winning. He sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, and if he gets his own way out in front, he could take all the catching.

Infraad sets the standard on adjusted RPRs, but this is his first run of the season and the Haggas yard have not hit the ground running this season, with only 2-15 in the past fortnight. Bay Royale went into my notebook after an eye-catching debut at this track last October. He was expected to improve on whatever he did that day. After travelling off the pace, he made good headway from over 2f out to have every chance over 1f out before tiring in the soft ground. The stable have had a good start to the season with 3-8 in the past 14 days. He has been backed this morning, so is clearly expected to go well before going on to better things, still holding an entry in the Irish Derby. At around 9/2, he rates the Nap of the day.
