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.

He wasn’t disgraced last time over a trip that possibly stretched him a bit, and he has ideal conditions today. At around 7/2, he rates as 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.

This has all of the hallmarks of a Skelton plot, which they have proven to be very good at over recent seasons. 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.

Harry S reported that he had run on the Flat on that occasion and has been given 46 days to freshen up after that. He will be fine at the trip, and the easy side of good ground should suit.

Nothing between the 2 at the head of the market on adjusted RPRs, but I have a preference for the Alan King runner Blues Singer based on the yard's record at this track: 4-10 (3 x 2nds) in the past five seasons. 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.

Grand Teton made a most promising debut at Sandown, staying on well from two out after getting detached. That run was on heavy ground, and being out of a Presenting mare, he should be much better suited by the likelier sounder surface. There is rain forecast, but it shouldn’t get too testing. In addition, the step up in trip should also suit, as he has plenty of stamina in his pedigree. The yard has a very good record at the track, with 14-41 in the past five seasons, so at around 15/2 he looks a solid each-way Nap of the day.

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.

Presenting Doy was expected to make up into a chaser by connections, but she has yet to take that route despite being a 7yo. She was disappointing on reappearance, but she made a noise that day and has since had a wind op. Only 4 lb off her best RPR last time after that op, and she probably found the ground too soft and the trip too sharp. Back up to this sort of trip and on better ground will suit, and if she runs to her best should take the beating.

In addition, they have an excellent 5-11 (3 x 2nds) record at the track in the past five seasons, with Mania one runner-up for the yard here.

A chance is taken with Antique Blue. Only had one run for the Andrew Balding yard and wore cheekpieces on debut. He finished 3rd of 4 and was sold to Ruth Carr for 23,000 guineas the following month. Then ran at Thirsk five weeks later, jumping out from an outside draw to lead from stall 12. He was headed after 2f before weakening from 2f out and wasn’t given a hard time once his chance had gone. He reappeared at Newcastle 19 days ago. He raced alone on the far side for the first furlong before being dropped out in last place off a slow early pace. He could never get in a blow, but it should have brought him on for the run. He wore no headgear in his first two runs for this stable but today swaps the cheekpieces for a hood. He is drawn in 3, and low draws do hold an advantage over this course and distance. William Pyle takes the ride; he had a useful 7-30 (8 placed) for the stable last year. This is his only ride of the day, so at around 22/1 he rates a sporting each-way Nap of the day.

A wide-open renewal as expected, but one to take the eye is the Elliott-trained Shecouldbeanything. The yard have had a few quiet spells this season, especially heading into Cheltenham, and he would love to end the season with a win here to enhance his chances of landing the Irish trainers' title for this season. This mare was aimed at this race last year and was far from disgraced in finishing 7th to Haiti Couleurs, beaten 29l. After making headway from 5 out she hit 3 out, then her jockey briefly dropped his reins 2 out. She has only raced four times since and has deliberately swerved Cheltenham this year, whereas last season she ran in the Mares' Chase at the Festival. Jack Kennedy has chosen her from a choice of six from the yard this year, and on better ground this year she is a sporting each-way nap of the day at around 22/1.

All have some sort of question to answer, but the one that maybe has more going for her is the Ellis-trained mare Four Decades. The Wadham-trained Abbey Law could show improvement with the addition of cheekpieces, but I can’t have her over this trip on what she has done so far, and even more so on breeding. Four Decades has some unimpressive form figures, but her run at Kempton two starts back was promising, and on adjusted RPRs it gives her a good chance here. She takes a big step up in trip, but her dam won over 3m and is from the family of the consistent and classy mare Lady Rebecca, so there is every chance this trip will suit. She has been supported this morning and looks the one to be on today.

The Henderson yard have a really good record here of 33% in the past five seasons, including 7-8 this season, and Nico is 5-5 here this season. That’s Nice has had a wind op since she stopped quickly at Newbury last time out and has been given 38 days to get over it. Malaita is likely to lead and should set things up for Nico to bring her through. She should be able to land her first chase today.

A modest event, but Coolkatie is one of only three runners for Harry Skelton today, and she just sets the standard on adjusted RPRs. The yard has an excellent record here with 15 wins and five seconds from 36 runners in the past three seasons. Her best form came over 2m 5f at Warwick on New Year's Eve when she raced wide and made good headway leaving the back straight before hitting two out and then falling at the last. The ground was probably too testing in her last two runs, and if she can return to her Warwick form after a 45-day break, she should be able to land this.

A modest handicap hurdle with all having questions to answer. With only six runners, The Wise Traveller should be able to set his own fractions. His usual rider retains the ride and takes off a useful 8 lb, and he has won in April for the last two years (one disqualified). The stable do well here (five wins, two seconds & four thirds from 16 runners in the past three seasons), and he is the only runner here today. At around 10/1, he rates a sporting each-way bet.

Mono Man is the class act on the basis of his back form on the Flat in France. He has shown better form in his last two when he has been allowed to lead and has been able to settle better. He is sure to go close if he runs to his best, but this is competitive and at around 6/4 I would rather take him on. Indemnity was very disappointing last time at Kempton, but they did not go a great pace that day and he made a mistake at both the 4th and 5th and could never recover. Ben Jones is back on board today and the stable have generally been in good form the past few weeks. He has had over three months off to freshen him up and he sets the standard on adjusted RPRs here. At around 11/2, he rates a solid each-way bet.

Harry Derham has only had three runners at Fairyhouse and has a good record of one winner and two fourths. Jackie Hobbs is his only runner today. She ran with credit in the County to finish fifth, with the first four all racing prominently while Jackie Hobbs came from off the pace. She is said to have done well since Cheltenham, and with plenty of pace in her pedigree should be suited by today’s trip, especially already having proven herself at 2m 3f. At around 10/1, she rates as a sporting each-way Nap of the day.

Delgany Deadline is on an upward curve in three runs over fences this season. She is effective at the trip, as she showed at Sedgefield two runs back, and does not need the soft ground she won on last time. She has been ridden from the front in her last two, which seems to suit her, and she should get an uncontested lead today. However, Sweet Nightingale has recorded good RIQ figures in her last two runs and should be able to sit off the pace. With only four runners, she should have no trouble getting a clear shot at the leaders. At around 11/4, she rates as the value bet.

This looks down to the 3 at the head of the market with preference for the Twiston-Davies-trained Tread Carefully. Unlucky when stumbling last time and unseating the rider. He had been jumping fine up to that point and does look as if he is suited by better ground that he should get today. The stable has a good record of 3-9 in the past five seasons (plus 3 x 2nds) and he is the only runner today.
