Notable contenders include Alice Dawson&#8217;s The Village Way, who displayed significant promise with a victory at Alnwick last month.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Another strong entry comes from Wallace Olinger, who was brought down at the last when in contention.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Emir Sacre, having finished second to The Village Way previously, will also be looking to improve.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Several other promising horses are set to compete, including Fumet d&#8217;Oudairies, Arctic Oscar, and Mumbo Jumbo from Gina Andrews\u2019 yard.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Particularly, Mumbo Jumbo, having secured four wins from six attempts, stands out as a contender.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The local entrants include Jack Teal&#8217;s Courting Flow, Diamond Flush, and Cherry Coward&#8217;s Zhiguli, a course and distance winner who could easily make an impact.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The second race, the KCM Waste Management Restricted Open, features Ideal Du Tabert, who enjoyed a commanding victory at this meeting last year.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He faced disappointment upon his return at Chaddesley Corbett but is expected to bounce back.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  His main rival, Line Em Up, has been in fine form following a win at Alnwick in December.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  With both carrying penalties, Alice Dawson&#8217;s Hugo Moss may also rise to contention after showing promise with his placing in earlier races.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The third event, the Labiana Ladies Open, could favour Barton Snow, fresh off successful hunter chases at Cheltenham and Stratford.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  His talent will be tested against Master Templar, who possesses an impressive win ratio.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Battling for competitive positions will also be Ballydonagh Boy, known for his strong performances at Sheriff Hutton.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In the Labiana Mens Open, recently arrived raider Grandads Cottage is likely to attract attention following a recent win.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Camdonian and Red Opium, star performers from last season, are set to compete as well.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Surprise Attack, a standout performer last year, may face his toughest competition yet.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  As the fifth race approaches, numerous debutants and horses with a bit of form will compete in the Resdev Resin Development Maiden.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Welsh challenger Another Notion is among the runners hoping to secure victory, having been beaten six lengths into second at Lower Machen in November.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The day concludes with the Tattersalls Cheltenham GB Pointing Bonus Young Horse Maiden Series.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Promising horses with potential include L&#8217;Hybris Is Born and Barito, who dead-heated for third place in a blanket finish in a similar contest at Chaddesley Corbett a month ago.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Entry for spectators is priced at \u00a315, with children under 16 admitted for free.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Well-behaved dogs are welcome on leads.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  There is ample car parking.
