---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (5/2 +55%) Admiral Stewart |
5/2(+55%) | (1) Admiral Stewart 5/2, £130,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/chaser The Crafty Butcher. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and fitted with a tongue tie, he showed plenty when second at Hexham last month. Major player on hurdles bow. Point winner; well-held second at Hexham (bumper) but the winner is useful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1/1 +43%) Buckna |
1/1(+43%) | (2) Buckna 1/1, £55,000 3-y-o, £350,000 4-y-o, seventh foal: half-brother to poor chaser Kildrum (3m winner, by Milan). Dam unraced. Won sole start in Irish points in March and changed hands for plenty after. Has to be of major interest. Cost £350,000 after running on well to win an Irish point and should be a nice prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (4/1 -33%) Walk On High |
4/1(-33%) | (9) Walk On High 4/1, Shaped well when fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) in December 2022. Set to be placed before falling heavily in November 2023 and off the track since. Hood on and he sets the hurdles standard. Now back from yet another absence but the ability is there; had wind surgery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -38%) Let Me Go Boys |
22/1(-38%) | (5) Let Me Go Boys 22/1, Purchased for £82,000 after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in February. Shaped as though in need of the run in a bumper at Cheltenham last month. 25-1 for a Cheltenham bumper last month and ran accordingly; best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (14/1 -87%) Edmond |
14/1(-87%) | (12) Edmond 14/1, Nathaniel mare who found some improvement when off the mark at fourth attempt in a Newton Abbot bumper (16.8f) for Rod Millman 18 months ago. Joined good NH yard ahead of this belated hurdles debut and the betting can prove a useful guide. Won a Newton Abbot bumper for Rod Millman; might be vulnerable on this occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (22/1 +21%) Slide Rule |
22/1(+21%) | (7) Slide Rule 22/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3m) Coningsby. Strong in the betting fitted with a tongue tie for debut but failed to meet expectations at Southwell in May. Bit more like it at Worcester 2 months later but more certainly needed switched to hurdling. Shaped like a stayer when never that dangerous in two good-ground bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (250/1 -25%) Absence Of Malice |
250/1(-25%) | (10) Absence Of Malice 250/1, Looks limited. Has shown pretty much nothing so far and instantly opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (18/1 -13%) Harry Junior |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Harry Junior 18/1, €65,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Closely related to useful hurdler Harry Senior. Displayed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 9 in a bumper at Chepstow a month ago. Hurdles debut. Nice pedigree; should improve on his remote fifth in a Chepstow bumper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (200/1 -33%) Kiss Me Moon |
200/1(-33%) | (14) Kiss Me Moon 200/1, Ran to only a poor level in bumpers at Newbury/Stratford during the spring and always behind on hurdles debut. Minor bumper promise and was 100-1 when tailed off on her hurdling debut here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (100/1 +33%) Arctic Angel |
100/1(+33%) | (11) Arctic Angel 100/1, Offered something to work on when third in Newton Abbot bumper in May but no show over hurdles so far. Beaten 3l in a weak bumper on debut but hurdling form is very forgettable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (150/1 0%) Lake's Aventurine |
150/1(0%) | (15) Lake's Aventurine 150/1, Minor promise only in 4 starts. Hard to draw on many positives from her first four races; outclassed in a maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (250/1 -67%) Grayland |
250/1(-67%) | (13) Grayland 250/1, No impact in bumpers 4 months apart. Tailed off in her bumpers and likely to be outclassed in a race of this nature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (16) (100/1 -52%) Lyle View |
100/1(-52%) | (16) Lyle View 100/1, Runner-up on the last of 3 outings in points and showed a bit on Rules debut at Kelso last month. Suffered heavy defeat at Chepstow since. Runner-up in a point; beaten 16l and 73l over hurdles and one for handicaps later on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (125/1 -25%) Illico Du Breuil |
125/1(-25%) | (4) Illico Du Breuil 125/1, Kapgarde gelding. Dam unraced sister to winning hurdler/smart chaser (17f-21f winner) Sidi Bouknadel. Maiden Irish pointer and went with little encouragement on hurdles debut in June 2023. Tongue tie on. Placed once in six Irish points; beaten 32l over C&D in June last year and off since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Buckna was purchased for 350,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sale in March following his point success the week before in Ireland and the four-year-old commands plenty of respect making his Rules debut. However, the vote goes to ADMIRAL STEWART, who may well have needed his first run for Jamie Snowden more than the market anticipated when runner-up in a Hexham bumper and that experience won't be lost on him. Walk In The Hills should prove happier going left handed after a disappointing hurdles bow at Exeter.
Connections went to £350,000 to acquire BUCKNA following his point win in the spring so hopes have to be high that he will follow up on hurdles debut for his in-form yard. Walk On High is an obvious threat, along with Admiral Stewart.
It's probably best to draw a line through how WALK IN THE HILLS performed on his hurdling debut. His bumper form was good.

Robert D'ores |
(11) (9/2 -13%)9/2(-13%) | (11) Robert D'ores 9/2, Still a maiden but he went close over 23f here on his recent return from wind surgery. Big player if in the same form. Runner-up over C&D (first run since wind surgery) last time; claims if in the same form.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Technology |
(1) (9/2 +10%)9/2(+10%) | (1) Technology 9/2, Fair maiden hurdler. Good start for new yard when second in 20.5f Wexford handicap in August. Not in the same form when sixth at Killarney 5 weeks later but the stable's good Hexham record earns him a place on the shortlist. Encouragement from stable debut second at Wexford (2m4f; newly tongue-tied) in August.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lewa House |
(12) (11/2 +39%)11/2(+39%) | (12) Lewa House 11/2, Not the most consistent and on a losing sequence but he probably needed his latest Ayr outing after 6 months off. Won this in 2022; wasn't far behind One Step Up on recent Ayr comeback; may strip fitter.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
One Step Up |
(8) (6/1 -33%)6/1(-33%) | (8) One Step Up 6/1, Placed on 2 of his 3 outings this season, on the latest finishing third of 14 at Ayr (19.5f) with cheekpieces added (retained). Should be thereabouts. Placed in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (2m4f) latest; must enter calculations accordingly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Half Track |
(2) (15/2 -25%)15/2(-25%) | (2) Half Track 15/2, Lightly-raced and poor completion rate (primarily over fences) since landing an Ayr novice hurdle back in December 2021. Latest Carlisle third shows some ability remains. The task now is to build on that. Creditable third over hurdles at Carlisle (2m4f; effectively his comeback run) last month.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Mass Path |
(5) (10/1 -100%)10/1(-100%) | (5) The Mass Path 10/1, Operating below his best in Ireland of late but this stable's runners always need monitoring very closely in the betting. Yet to win (0-14); some positives from latest Gowran Park effort; market a helpful guide.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Agilulf |
(9) (14/1 +0%)14/1(+0%) | (9) Agilulf 14/1, Still to register a victory and pulled up on Sedgefield chase debut 15 days ago. Claims on her Market Rasen third in July but she's inconsistent. Maiden (0-20); pulled up after making bad mistake (weakening) on Sedgefield chasing debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Royle Steel |
(13) (25/1 -56%)25/1(-56%) | (13) Royle Steel 25/1, Won over fences at Sedgefield last October. Has largely struggled in that sphere since (last seen at Cartmel in June) but is dangerously well handicapped if reviving for a break and a return to hurdles. Out of sorts in the spring; reverts to hurdles from an easing mark with plenty to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ambassador |
(3) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (3) Ambassador 33/1, Resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m) in July but not in same form since, finishing down the field at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Below par on previous attempt over this trip. Cheekpieces replace a visor. Lost his way since winning at Uttoxeter (2m) in July; easing mark but vulnerable over 2m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Good Bye |
(4) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (4) Good Bye 33/1, Proved a model of consistency during 2022/23 campaign for this yard but he hasn't shown much spark in 3 starts since returning from a 17-month absence in June. Struggled in three starts since returning from an absence; best watched for the moment.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dreams Of Home |
(6) (33/1 +18%)33/1(+18%) | (6) Dreams Of Home 33/1, Largely struggled for Donald McCain last season and a change of stable hasn't sparked any upturn in his fortunes this autumn. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. Well beaten in two starts for this trainer, slipping further in weights; cheekpieces go on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ROBERT D'ORES bounced right back to form when finishing an excellent second over an extended 2m7f on his seasonal reappearance here earlier this month, pulling clear with the winner. Stepping back in trip and upped just 4lb, this may be the day to catch him. One Step Up arrives on the back of a solid placed effort at Ayr and he commands respect off an unchanged mark. Irish raider Technology also merits consideration.
ROBERT D'ORES gets the vote on the back of a fine return from wind surgery over a longer trip here 12 days ago. John McConnell has an excellent 11-24 Hexham record so his Technology has to rate a danger. Last month's Ayr third One Step Up also makes the shortlist, while The Mass Path would also enter the reckoning should the betting vibes be strong.
The suggestion is the recent Carlisle third ONE STEP UP who has been mostly on the up since joining Stuart Coltherd

Montys Soldier |
(4) (9/4 +59%)9/4(+59%) | (4) Montys Soldier 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden who recorded a good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut with this longer trip a likely plus. 0-4 over hurdles but this impressive Irish point winner looks interesting on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bridget Mary |
(8) (9/2 +36%)9/2(+36%) | (8) Bridget Mary 9/2, Made a winning chasing start at Stratford in October and followed it up with a good fourth of 13 in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap 19 days ago, especially as set a lot to do. Capable of better still back up in trip. Big shout. Made good start to chasing career this autumn and this move back up in trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hobb's Delight |
(2) (5/1 -25%)5/1(-25%) | (2) Hobb's Delight 5/1, Progressive over hurdles and he shaped well when second of 6 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) on his debut over fences 30 days ago, just failing. Sure to improve. Likely player. Went very close on recent chasing debut and commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shillanavogy |
(1) (7/1 +0%)7/1(+0%) | (1) Shillanavogy 7/1, Advanced his form on his chasing debut when second of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, good to soft) in May. Can give a good account after a break. Close second to bang-in-form rival on chasing debut in May; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Try The Money |
(11) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (11) Try The Money 8/1, Fair maiden hurdler who got back on track when third of 8 in handicap hurdle here (20f) 7 months ago. Possibilities on his chase debut. Placed on 2m4f hurdle here in April and open to improvement as a staying chaser this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wonder Of The Seas |
(7) (8/1 -33%)8/1(-33%) | (7) Wonder Of The Seas 8/1, Resumed with a good second of 12 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 45 days ago, although he hindered his cause by briefly trying to run out at the second last. Still enters calculations. Runner-up in three of his four chases and probably still on workable mark; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Scorpion King |
(3) (17/2 +15%)17/2(+15%) | (3) The Scorpion King 17/2, Ungenuine type but he posted a good second of 12 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, heavy) 32 days ago, staying on well. Needs to back it up. Finished well for second on seasonal debut but hs developed a tendency to race lazily. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prime Pretender |
(10) (16/1 +20%)16/1(+20%) | (10) Prime Pretender 16/1, Remains a maiden after 20 runs. Blinkered for 1st time when only fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 30 days ago. Visor retried now. Back under rules with three respectable runs this summer/autumn but others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wide To West |
(12) (20/1 -67%)20/1(-67%) | (12) Wide To West 20/1, Unreliable sort who got off the mark in 7-runner handicap chase over C&D in April. Needs to back it up on his seasonal return off a 8 lb higher mark. Stayed on dourly for C&D win in April but 8lb rise asks quite a lot of him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Henry Box Brown |
(6) (25/1 +11%)25/1(+11%) | (6) Henry Box Brown 25/1, Gained a first success over fences at Worcester (20f) in August but he has failed to back it up at Hereford and Fakenham since. Others are more appealing. Won readily at Worcester in August but has become a hard horse to predict. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Saxon Queen |
(13) (28/1 -40%)28/1(-40%) | (13) Saxon Queen 28/1, Unreliable sort who flashed his tail when a below-par sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good) 15 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now. Ran well on chase debut in September 2023 but has not fired this year; headgear switched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Casting Aspersions |
(9) (33/1 +18%)33/1(+18%) | (9) Casting Aspersions 33/1, Runner-up both completed starts in points but only modest form shown over hurdles. Goes over fences with plenty more required. Did not show much over hurdles but moves up in trip for this chase/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Big Reveal |
(5) (50/1 +24%)50/1(+24%) | (5) The Big Reveal 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Off 20 months before pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, heavy) on debut over fences 35 days ago. Still very unexposed under rules but was pulled up when 40-1 for chase/handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HOBB'S DELIGHT produced a career-best effort when just denied on his first start over fences at Plumpton last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from going one better. Wide To West was beginning to get the hang of things at the back end of last season with the seven-year-old scoring over C&D in April. Others to note are The Scorpion King and Montys Soldier.
Rebecca Curtis' mare BRIDGET MAY has made an excellent start to life in this sphere and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having been set a lot to do when fourth at Uttoxeter last time out. Hobb's Delight shaped well on his debut in this sphere when runner-up at Plumpton so rates a major threat. Wonder Of The Seas, Monty's Soldier and Shillanavogy all need factoring in too.
Perhaps the one with most potential is chasing debutant MONTYS SOLDIER, who impressed on last year's Irish point debut.

Solar System |
(7) (15/8 +46%)15/8(+46%) | (7) Solar System 15/8, Confirmed previous promise with plenty in hand at Fontwell in April and wasted no time getting back on track after 6 months off when third in 15-runner handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago, going a little in snatches. Needs considering for in-form yard. Improving 5yo; outgunned after the last on reappearance; likely better ground a plus today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Baskerville |
(4) (3/1 +25%)3/1(+25%) | (4) Baskerville 3/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when landing a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in June and better form in defeat in handicaps since, looking as if he was marginally outstayed upped in trip after 3 months off at Hereford on most recent outing. Should go well again. Worn down late at Hereford latest (2m5f, good; pair clear); up 5lb but far from exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jilaijone |
(2) (7/2 +13%)7/2(+13%) | (2) Jilaijone 7/2, Without a win since his British debut but went close a few times last season and ran creditably returning from 7 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at Cheltenham (16.4f, good) in October. Readily brushed aside by Double Powerful at Fontwell since but there's no shame in that. Modest strike-rate but bumped into one at Fontwell 12 days ago; in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
One Eye On Vegas |
(5) (8/1 +11%)8/1(+11%) | (5) One Eye On Vegas 8/1, Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces, winning handicaps at Leicester and Hereford in January/February. Solid efforts next 2 starts and was held up when hampered and unseated fifth on return at Carlisle. Progressive on slow ground last season; badly hampered when unseating on return; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cloud Dancer |
(3) (9/1 -38%)9/1(-38%) | (3) Cloud Dancer 9/1, Well backed and shaped encouragingly when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 57 days ago, closing all way to line. Cheekpieces on first time and must enter calculations. Better effort when 2nd at Fontwell eight weeks ago; cheekpieces now added; low mileage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Classic Maestro |
(1) (14/1 -75%)14/1(-75%) | (1) Classic Maestro 14/1, Progressive hurdler in the mud last season, making the most of a good opportunity to complete a hat-trick in this sphere at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) when last seen in March. Safe to assume he could have more to offer but isn't sure to be as effective under these less testing conditions. Thriving in the mud when last seen; returns with his yard going well; quicker ground the ?. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Barricane |
(6) (28/1 -40%)28/1(-40%) | (6) Barricane 28/1, Not straightforward (has a lazy streak) but enhanced a decent strike rate when scoring over 25f at Huntingdon in February. Underperformed at Southwell on final outing but has won fresh before, so shouldn't be overlooked. Two wins over further last winter; this looks an inadequate test after a layoff. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Despite being a beaten favourite the last twice, SOLAR SYSTEM showed more than enough on his comeback at Chepstow to suggest he can return to winning ways sooner rather than later. The use of Callum Pritchard further enhances his credentials and he gets a confident vote ahead of Baskerville, who has gone close on both handicap appearances. Cloud Dancer has to enter calculations too.
JILAIJONE's losing run is mounting up but there was no shame in being readily brushed aside by the thriving Double Power at Fontwell on his most recent outing, especially with that one extending his winning sequence in a competitive Cheltenham handicap last week, so David Pipe's 5-y-o is well worth another chance from an easing mark. Solar System and Baskerville head up the opposition in an interesting affair.
Solar System is greatly respected but BASKERVILLE ran well at Hereford last month and can overcome a 5lb rise.

Ira Hayes |
(1) (5/4 -14%)5/4(-14%) | (1) Ira Hayes 5/4, Point winner who was impressive when making his second start in bumpers a successful one at Wexford 23 days ago. Bold show likely on hurdle debut if showing up. Engaged 1.03 Carlisle Tuesday. Point/bumper winner who scored easily over hurdles at Carlisle on Tuesday; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Not So Sobers |
(3) (9/2 -80%)9/2(-80%) | (3) Not So Sobers 9/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who arrives fit from a good fourth at Cheltenham last month. Leading claims on hurdle debut under Brian Hughes. Market Rasen bumper winner; solid fourth on Cheltenham comeback; player on hurdles debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nellie Bluesky |
(9) (6/1 +50%)6/1(+50%) | (9) Nellie Bluesky 6/1, Modest form at best in a trio in bumpers but a different proposition sent hurdling when springing a surprise at Perth (2½m) in May. That wasn't a great race but she should still be very competitive under a penalty on return. Sprung a 50-1 surprise on hurdles debut at Perth (2m4f) in May; is penalised accordingly.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prince Of Perth |
(4) (8/1 +60%)8/1(+60%) | (4) Prince Of Perth 8/1, Returned from a long absence to finish quite an encouraging fourth over C&D last month. He's one who leaves the impression he won't really come into his own until tackling longer trips but he could still play a prominent role. Engaged 2.40 Carlisle Tuesday. Similar efforts since returning from long absence, latest when fifth at Carlisle yesterday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Golden Point |
(10) (10/1 +50%)10/1(+50%) | (10) Golden Point 10/1, Modest in bumpers. Easy to back and might have needed the run after 8 months off when a remote fourth of 5 on her Perth hurdle debut in September. Promise in bumpers; dropped out tamely on hurdles debut at Perth (2m4f) in September.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
That One |
(6) (20/1 +0%)20/1(+0%) | (6) That One 20/1, Showed definite ability in 3 hurdles earlier in the year, posting his best effort when fourth over C&D in March. Place claims if ready to roll after 8 months off. Never dangerous fourth of six over C&D in March; probably one for further down the line.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Shadow Chaser |
(5) (20/1 +39%)20/1(+39%) | (5) Shadow Chaser 20/1, Point winner who was third in a 19f Cork bumper for John Gleeson and has shown a bit in a couple of novice hurdles in the North this autumn. Might not reveal his true potential until handicapping, though. Engaged 1.03 Carlisle Tuesday. Irish point winner (3m); reasonably low-key over hurdles so far for Stuart Coltherd.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Willie Shake Hands |
(8) (20/1 +39%)20/1(+39%) | (8) Willie Shake Hands 20/1, Imposing sort who was third in an Irish bumper in April and has shown definite ability in 2 hurdle runs for Sam England in recent weeks. Handicaps after this perhaps more his thing, though. Prominent before fading (some mitigating circumstances) on both starts for Sam England.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lizzie Luna |
(11) (20/1 +70%)20/1(+70%) | (11) Lizzie Luna 20/1, Has shown ability in 3 bumpers but not enough to suggest she's likely to make a winning start over hurdles here. Engaged 2.40 Carlisle Tuesday. Never-dangerous seventh, behind Prince Of Perth, switched to hurdles on Tuesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Uokhun |
(12) (25/1 +38%)25/1(+38%) | (12) Uokhun 25/1, Arcadio mare who is bred to stay well and shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 11 in bumper at Musselburgh in March 2023. Limited promise in two hurdling outings subsequently, though. Engaged 2.40 Carlisle Tuesday. Well held over C&D 12 days ago; unseated rider early at Carlisle on Tuesday; unappealing.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Long Time Listener |
(2) (33/1 +18%)33/1(+18%) | (2) Long Time Listener 33/1, Point bumper winner but finished a remote sixth in a bumper under Rules at Newcastle in March. The betting is perhaps the best guide now hurdling after 8 months off. Weakened tamely on bumper debut at Newcastle (2m1f); has suitable pedigree for hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Walk In The Valley |
(7) (66/1 +0%)66/1(+0%) | (7) Walk In The Valley 66/1, Not disgraced both starts in points in spring 2023 but hard to derive much promise from his 2 efforts in novice hurdles last month. Made little impact in two attempts under rules, pulling-up at Bangor (2m; 125-1) latest.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NOT SO SOBERS caught the eye when finishing a staying-on fourth in a hot Cheltenham bumper and, with his sights lowered on his debut over timber, he gets the vote to land the spoils. Nellie Bluesky didn't cut much ice in NH Flat races, but she impressed when making a winning hurdles bow over 2m4f at Perth in May and must be of interest on her return to the track. Golden Point is also a noteworthy contender, while Ira Hayes, who won at Carlisle on Tuesday, would hold obvious claims if turned out here.
NOT SO SOBERS had the form of last month's Cheltenham bumper form boosted there over the weekend and can strike on hurdle debut. Perth winner Nellie Bluesky and That One should get involved in the battle for minor honours. Ira Hayes would be a major threat to the selection if showing up here after/instead of Carlisle on Tuesday.
The Market Rasen winner NOT SO SOBERS, the first foal from a useful 2m hurdler, ticks plenty of boxes now heading over obstacles.

Queens Fury |
(10) (13/8 +59%)13/8(+59%) | (10) Queens Fury 13/8, Fairly useful filly. 9/1, creditable sixth of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, soft) 32 days ago, going off too hard. Plenty of ability but her 2 runs here haven't been too great and she's probably vulnerable for the win again. Nine-race maiden, placed four times and has competed in Listed races, risky at this stage. |

Mveve |

Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1½m Unsinkable, winner up to 1¾m Knight Eagle and 2-y-o 6f winner Heart of Fire, all useful. Sixth of 10 in maiden (66/1) at Leopardstown (8f, soft) on debut 32 days ago. Entitled to improve. Prominent to today's distance on debut over 1m at Leopardstown, likely to improve. |

One to take seriously on debut. Yard also saddle Mveve. Half-sister to a Japanese Grade 3 scorer, stablemate Mveve has the advantage of experience. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
QUEENS FURY is certainly not short of experience and has been placed a number of times, including twice over this trip at Leopardstown. The Blue Point filly found Listed company a bit too hot here last month before only weakening in the closing stages on soft ground at Leopardstown last time. Mveve is the obvious threat as she progressed considerably from her debut at Cork last month to beat all bar newcomer Ethical Code over C&D. Highbury See See ran better than his finishing position would suggest on debut at Leopardstown and should improve with that run under his belt.
Joseph O'Brien could hold the key to this and his MVEVE is taken to open her account after going very close here 3 weeks ago. Stablemate De Novo is a very interesting newcomer and the betting could be revealing. Queens Fury is 0-9 but is fairly useful, albeit her 2 previous runs here haven't been all that great.
Queens Fury has failed to build on promising form and preference is for MVEVE (nap) who went close here on her second start

Stone's Throw |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BLUE LAS made it back-to-back victories at Uttoxeter in April, having improved with each start in bumpers, and the six-year-old is expected to progress now with her attentions switched to hurdling. Andy Amo is entitled to step forward from his second here over further last month, while Jig's Forge, a 75,000-pound purchase at Aintree in the spring, and Stone's Throw head the remainder.
STONE'S THROW made a promising start for Billy Aprahamian when a strong-finishing Ludlow third and can build on it now his stamina is drawn out more and get off the mark. Course runner-up Andy Amo also has better days ahead of him though so rates a big danger, while hurdling newcomers Blue Las, Jig's Forge and Jack To Bat all bring potential too.
Rebecca Curtis won this maiden in 2019 and 2020 and ANDY AMO was probably beaten by a very good horse here last month.

Ma Shantou |
(4) (4/5 +47%)4/5(+47%) | (4) Ma Shantou 4/5, Fine start when third of 10 in a Fairyhouse bumper and, having moved to current yard for £120,000, opened his account impressively at Huntingdon next time. Looked as if in need of experience when second in a Wincanton novice on hurdles bow last month and is highly respected with that under his belt. Steps up in trip after a creditable second on hurdle debut; one to take seriously. |

Barlovento |
(1) (7/4 +7%)7/4(+7%) | (1) Barlovento 7/4, Confirmed debut promise when cosily winning a Southwell bumper in March and made no mistake on his first outing over hurdles when landing a 14-runner novice at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) last month, finishing well after conceding first run. Sets a good standard under a penalty. Bumper winner; got up late to make winning hurdle debut at Carlisle last month; unexposed. |

Jumble Jury |
(3) (125/1 -25%)125/1(-25%) | (3) Jumble Jury 125/1, Has won a point and hinted at ability on his first bumper outing but very little promise otherwise, pulled up at Uttoxter on Saturday. Can't be fancied. No show in two hurdle runs in recent weeks; handicaps beckon. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MA SHANTOU was well fancied for the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree where something was clearly amiss as the five-year-old ended up finishing last. He was no match for an impressive winner at Wincanton on his hurdling bow, but the third and fourth have come out and won since, giving the form a boost, and the step up in trip appears likely to yield improvement. Barlovento won on hurdles debut at Carlisle but has to shoulder a penalty and will need to be sharper in the jumping department, while point-to-point winner Rubber Ball is respected on his hurdling bow.
BARLOVENTO added to his bumper success when getting up in the nick of time to make a winning hurdles debut at Carlisle and he's fancied to defy a penalty at the chief expense of useful bumper performer Ma Shantou, who could improve markedly with hurdling experience now under his belt. Rubber Ball made a promising enough start in a Cheltenham bumper last month and should have a future over jumps.
Ma Shantou and Barlovento are of interest but winning pointer RUBBER BALL can leave last month's bumper debut behind him.

Cadell |
(2) (10/11 +100%)10/11(+100%) | (2) Cadell 10/11, Unbeaten in points. Fairly useful form over hurdles last season and he took a sizeable step forward from his chase debut effort when making all in a 3-runner Wetherby novice (24.2f) 19 days ago, quickening clear from 4 out. Obvious claims with prospect of more to come. Dominant display in a three-runner affair at Wetherby (3m); further improvement probable.. |

Reverend Hubert |
(1) (7/2 -40%)7/2(-40%) | (1) Reverend Hubert 7/2, Useful winning form over fences at up to 3m during the summer. Creditable effort on Flat when seventh in Cesarewitch last month prior to struggling from a lofty mark over hurdles at Aintree 11 days ago but definite claims of getting involved back over fences for shrewd stable. 2-4 over fences; 8th in Cesarewitch; returns to chasing under optimum conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No Time To Wait |
(4) (4/1 +27%)4/1(+27%) | (4) No Time To Wait 4/1, Bumper/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Stepped up on his yard/chase debut effort at Kilbeggan when fourth of 6 in novice at Down Royal (19.9f) 3 weeks ago, yet he didn't convince with his jumping then. Tongue strap applied now. Failed to sparkle over fences (Kilbeggan and Down Royal) and this looks competitive.. |

President Scottie |
(5) (8/1 -23%)8/1(-23%) | (5) President Scottie 8/1, Ended last term on the up over hurdles, scoring at Ayr and Haydock before a very good fourth in 3m Ayr handicap in the spring. Has the potential to make a better chaser. Interesting. Progressive hurdler; the type to do well over fences but this is a tough introduction.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Raceview Road |
(3) (16/1 +52%)16/1(+52%) | (3) Raceview Road 16/1, Multiple Irish point winner who was placed in a bumper and couple of Newcastle novice hurdles prior to making a winning chase debut in handicap at Kelso (21.6f) in April. Decent efforts there next 2 starts, including on return, but plenty more needed on these terms. Engaged 12.30 Carlisle Tuesday. Kelso winner (2m5f) in April; respectable since; is facing a tough task on these terms.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Cadell struck at the second time of asking over fences, making all to beat two rivals at Wetherby, and he must enter calculations, although he may not be able dominate in quite the same way. NO TIME TO WAIT wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth in a 2m4f Down Royal beginners chase won by the exciting Firefox and, stepping back up in trip sporting a tongue-tie for the first time, he gets the nod to score for his astute connections. Reverend Hubert is also considered.
CADELL will likely face sterner resistance than when successful in a 3-runner affair at Wetherby 3 weeks ago, yet Lucinda Russell's 6-y-o was dominant on that occasion and is fancied to take this with further progress in the offing. Reverend Hubert returned to chasing and President Scottie, who was progressive over hurdles last term are fancied to emerge as the lead threats.
Lucinda Russell's CADELL produced a dominant display at Wetherby and can hold sway over Reverend Hubert.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FINSCEAL ANNIE won over this trip at Tipperary in August and has maintained her form well since over longer distances filling the runner-up spot three times. The Ciaran Murphy-trained filly was again prominent throughout when beating all bar Comfort Line over a mile here last time and should be suited by this drop back in trip. Golden Days has gained all four career wins over 7f including at Gowran this summer and shaped quite well after a sluggish start here last time. Velvet Skies was second to Marble Angel here on his penultimate start, while others to consider include The Cola Brasil and Liamo.
THE COLA BRASIL snuck up the inside when scoring a shade cosily over C&D last month and should make another bold bid from his low draw. Golden Days and Finsceal Annie head the dangers.
This may go the way of recent C&D winner THE COLA BRASIL whose form is working out and he could be well treated from 2lb higher

(5) (16/1 +52%)16/1(+52%) | (5) The Cypriot 16/1, Has shown modest form only once from 5 outings over hurdles and he's opposable again. Posed no threat when well beaten in his first two handicaps; had wind op last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jukebox Joker |
(8) (22/1 -57%)22/1(-57%) | (8) Jukebox Joker 22/1, Well held in 3 novice hurdles last month. Could do better now handicapping over longer distances but difficult to fancy on what he's shown so far. Didn't really show any significant promise in three 2m novice hurdles last month; new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dish Of The Day |
(2) (28/1 -40%)28/1(-40%) | (2) Dish Of The Day 28/1, Hinted at ability sole outing in bumpers and again offered something to work on when fifth of 8 on his Lingfield hurdling debut, but efforts since have left plenty to be desired and he doesn't looks especially well treated now handicapping. Yet to build upon last season's encouraging hurdle debut but may still have potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Owl Of Athens |
(10) (50/1 -79%)50/1(-79%) | (10) Owl Of Athens 50/1, Yet to better poor form over hurdles and is opposable again. Well beaten in first three handicaps, the latest his seasonal debut 12 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Carved In Stone |
(4) (50/1 -52%)50/1(-52%) | (4) Carved In Stone 50/1, Bumper winner for Hugo Palmer but hasn't yet replicated that level of form over hurdles and finished well beaten on his debut for this yard at Chepstow a fortnight ago. Hard to fancy. Promising in bumpers but has made disappointing start to hurdling career; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LADY HARRIETT showed a liking for first-time cheekpieces when bolting up over C&D earlier in the month and she now has a 7lb penalty to carry. Considering the manner of that victory, she could prove very difficult to beat again. Greenways made a victorious start for the Tom Symonds stable at Hereford and should mount a bold bid, while Fresh Speculation makes most appeal of the remainder.
GREENWAYS was value for extra when making a winning debut for the Tom Symonds yard at Hereford last week and he's fancied to follow up. Tthis contest isn't without dangers though, with the similarly penalised Lady Harriett meriting plenty of respect after her recent C&D success, whilst Fresh Speculation made an encouraging return at Stratford and promises to benefit from the return to this trip.
Effectively only 4lb higher than for his recent Hereford success, GREENWAYS (nap) can follow up under his penalty.

Booster Bob |
(3) (7/4 +42%)7/4(+42%) | (3) Booster Bob 7/4, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in 2m novice at Sandown in December. Resumed progress when making a winning comeback/chase bow at Ffos Las last month, beating 2 subsequent winners. More to come and leading contender. Listed winner over hurdles and it was a strong chase that he won at Ffos Las last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Helnwein |
(2) (9/4 +10%)9/4(+10%) | (2) Helnwein 9/4, Useful bumper winner who made a successful switch to hurdling at Warwick in November. Better form in defeat since, including when taking a big step forward to make a winning handicap bow at Sandown in April. Interesting chasing newcomer. Latest hurdle win reads particularly well and he looks a nice prospect for chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Telepathique |
(6) (9/2 +36%)9/2(+36%) | (6) Telepathique 9/2, Confirmed debut promise when landing bumper here and much better for hurdles bow when scoring at Southwell a year ago. Looked a natural when making a winning start in this sphere after 11 months off at Fakenham 3 weeks ago. She seems sure to progress as a chaser. Whacked up 13lb for her Fakenham win and she's down in trip in a stronger race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Moveit Like Minnie |
(4) (9/1 -125%)9/1(-125%) | (4) Moveit Like Minnie 9/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler around 2m and fine start over fences back from 6 months off when scoring at Stratford (17f) in September. Looked set to resume winning ways before running out at the last Aintree last month and headgear now applied. Stratford winner; held every chance when departing late on in his last two races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Commanding View |
(8) (11/1 +0%)11/1(+0%) | (8) Commanding View 11/1, Twice a winner over hurdles last season, including handicap at Bangor final start. However, no easy task on return/chase bow from 2 lb out of the handicap. Progressive hurdler by no means exposed just yet and chasers are in the family. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kamaxos |
(5) (12/1 +14%)12/1(+14%) | (5) Kamaxos 12/1, Made light of a long absence to comfortably see off 6 rivals in 2m Sandown handicap hurdle in February. Decent efforts in defeat next 2 starts but not an obvious chasing type given his Flat background. Could take to fences despite his Flat background but does look high in the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sometimes Always |
(7) (80/1 -142%)80/1(-142%) | (7) Sometimes Always 80/1, Fairly useful hurdler but has been off the track for over 3 years and makes chase bow in a warm event. Talented 9yo but will do well to make a successful chase debut after a mammoth absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HELNWEIN landed a valuable prize at Sandown on the final day of last season when getting the better of subsequent Greatwood runner-up Be Aware and the six-year-old may well have more to offer tackling the larger obstacles. Booster Bob made a winning start over fences at Ffos Las and has already beaten the selection over hurdles in a Listed contest at Sandown. The application of cheekpieces might help Moveit Like Minnie and it is easy to see why Telepathique will have her supporters.
TELEPATHIQUE took to chasing really well when scoring with plenty in hand at Fakenham 3 weeks so tops the shortlist despite a 13 lb rise. Booster Bob also arrives on the back of an impressive chase debut success, while Moveit Like Minnie is another who is clearly capable.
Booster Bob has an obvious chance but MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE will go well if completing the course in first-time cheekpieces.

Destiny Is All |
(1) (11/4 +17%)11/4(+17%) | (1) Destiny Is All 11/4, Boasts a good record when fresh and bolstered that after 6 months off when landing 6-runner handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago, rallying to lead on run-in. Respected up 3 lb returned to this significantly longer trip (fourth in this race 12 months ago). Reappeared with 3m win under Jack Power at Ayr last month and ran well over C&D in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Camp Belan |
(2) (4/1 +11%)4/1(+11%) | (2) Camp Belan 4/1, Thorough stayer who cashed in on his reduced mark at Ayr (24.1f) in February. Creditable efforts in defeat have followed, 6¼ lengths third of 6 behind stablemate Destiny Is All on the back of 6 months off at Ayr 23 days ago. Likely to be sharper here. Reappeared with fair third at Ayr and he's run really well on last two visits here; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Elleon |
(5) (9/2 +10%)9/2(+10%) | (5) Elleon 9/2, Still not the most of fluent of jumpers but has enjoyed a fine start to the season, winning brace of handicaps here (at 3m) and in-the-frame all 5 starts since. Likely to give his running again and he's unexposed at marathon trips. Untested beyond 3m3f but worth a go at today's trip and he's a two-time course winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Breeze Of Wind |
(4) (13/2 -95%)13/2(-95%) | (4) Breeze Of Wind 13/2, Point winner who proved progressive over fences last season, his fourth career success coming in this race from 4 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Comeback fourth at Bangor (24.1f) in October was a solid effort and respected for all he's largely been campaigned on much softer ground. Won over C&D in March and could build on last month's fair reappearance fourth at Bangor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Broken Ice |
(3) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (3) Broken Ice 8/1, On a lengthy losing run but did run well in pair of starts over fences/hurdles in August. Latest run when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.7f, soft) 26 days ago was a respectable one but stamina to prove now tackling this significantly longer trip back over fences. On a long losing run but posted two encouraging efforts in August; could be a contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jem In Em |
(6) (8/1 +0%)8/1(+0%) | (6) Jem In Em 8/1, Consistent hurdler but stepped up on his return/chase debut run when fourth of 10 in handicap at Kelso 45 days ago, even a well-run 3¼m not getting near the bottom of him. Demands of this sort of test look sure to suit and respected with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. 6yo who could relish the step up in trip; well treated on hurdle form; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dequall |
(9) (12/1 +33%)12/1(+33%) | (9) Dequall 12/1, 3-time winner over hurdles (including here) but the latest of those come back in 2021 and whilst he's been in good nick over timber in recent months, this not the easiest of assignments returned to chasing from out of the weights. Placed over hurdles here the last twice; 9lb wrong for this belated return to chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dr Shirocco |
(8) (16/1 -14%)16/1(-14%) | (8) Dr Shirocco 16/1, Winless following 20 attempts over hurdles but has already won 3 times in this sphere, the latest over 3m here in May. Solid efforts next 3 starts prior to a disappointing run after 4 months off at Sedgefield (21.1f) 15 days ago. Return to this venue a plus but has stamina to prove. Two-time course winner who may have needed his recent return to action at Sedgefield. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Low Mileage |
(7) (20/1 +39%)20/1(+39%) | (7) Low Mileage 20/1, Fairly modest maiden over hurdles/fences in Ireland and not shown much in 2 chase tries (7 months apart) for present stable. Marked increase in trip needs to have positive effect now. 6yo who is on a reduced mark but for good reason and has plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DESTINY IS ALL didn't quite see out the trip when fourth in behind Breeze Of Wind (winner) over C&D in March. Lucinda Russell's 10-year-old, successful at Ayr on his comeback last month, only wilted late in the day and with ground conditions set to be nowhere near as testing, he could reverse that form. Dr Shirocco shapes as if he will appreciate this marathon trip and he is worth a second glance, while Camp Belan is also noted.
Claims can be made for a host here including last year's winner BREEZE OF WIND. He returned to action with a solid fourth at Bangor 22 days ago and the significant step back up in trip is firmly in his favour. Elleon is another of interest along with Jem In Em, who has often shaped like worthy of a crack at a marathon trip.
The 6yo JEM IN EM (nap) represents the in-form Lucinda Russell and has shaped as though he could relish this severe test of stamina.

Chica Power |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(5) (66/1 -136%)66/1(-136%) | (5) El Padre 66/1, First run since leaving Adrian Murray when eleventh of 14 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D. Off 12 months. Won Laytown claimer in 2021; off more than a year and showed little on sole run last year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SHAADEN justified strong support over C&D a fortnight ago and may follow up off a 7lb higher mark. The Pat Flynn-trained filly had Harry The Rogue back in fifth, with Aisling Oscar further behind, and Billy Lee again takes the mount. Cherry Pink has won twice this year, including on the beach at Laytown, and is certainly one for the shortlist after finishing fourth here last time in a race that has been working out well since. Chica Power likes to force the pace and has won three times over this C&D, while Hope And Innocence has been placed twice here over a mile, including behind Comfort Line earlier this month.
Lots with chances but CHICA POWER rates the pick at these weights so is taken to bag a fourth C&D success. Cherry Pink is also handily weighted and heads the list of dangers, with Hope And Innocence, Harry The Rogue and Wild Mountain all in the picture too.
Recent winner Shaaden may be popular but it may be worth taking a chance on C&D specialist CHICA POWER who showed more last time

One Last Glance |
(6) (10/3 +58%)10/3(+58%) | (6) One Last Glance 10/3, Belatedly off the mark in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) on return. Just respectable third back over fences at Plumpton since.

My Granny Lily |
(14) (4/1 +71%)4/1(+71%) | (14) My Granny Lily 4/1, Got off the mark in 2m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in February and ended the season in good form. Probably needed return and back over fences now (fell at third in chase bow 11 months ago). Course winner over hurdles; fell in only previous chase; others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Supasunrise |
(7) (4/1 +43%)4/1(+43%) | (7) Supasunrise 4/1, Creditable second of 13 in handicap chase (9/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) on return and worth another chance to build on that having failed to stay at Stratford next time. Second to very progressive rival two starts ago and again ran well on latest outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lelant |
(3) (11/2 +54%)11/2(+54%) | (3) Lelant 11/2, Fair form without success over hurdles. Not so good over fences so far, though no doubt becoming well handicapped in this sphere. Headgear goes on. 15-race maiden who needs the addition of cheekpieces to give him a boost. |

Lermoos Legend |
(1) (8/1 -33%)8/1(-33%) | (1) Lermoos Legend 8/1, Ended losing run in handicap here 10 days ago, though the carnage at 4 out left him with a simple task. Opposable under a 7 lb penalty. Clearcut 2m course winner last week; should go well again under 7lb penalty. |

Bobbi's Beauty |
(5) (9/1 -6%)9/1(-6%) | (5) Bobbi's Beauty 9/1, Point winner who stepped up on her hurdle exploits when making a successful switch to fences at Leicester (20.1f) in February. Might have found next race coming too soon before creditable fourth back over hurdles at Southwell. Worth another chance back in this sphere on return. Chase winner in February; absent since April but could still have untapped potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Faitque De L'isle |
(12) (10/1 +29%)10/1(+29%) | (12) Faitque De L'isle 10/1, Has been given a big chance by the handicapper after an underwhelming 2023/24 campaign and shaped as if needing the run after 12 months off (left Michael Scudamore in interim) at Stratford last month. Not dismissed. Ran well for long way on recent seasonal/stable debut; a possible if able to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ileny Royale |
(2) (11/1 +67%)11/1(+67%) | (2) Ileny Royale 11/1, Placed twice from 4 starts in minor events for Gabriel Leenders in France. Offered little over hurdles for this yard and was soon left behind on chase bow/return. Shaped with promise before weakening on seasonal/chase debut; can improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rock On Rita |
(11) (18/1 -29%)18/1(-29%) | (11) Rock On Rita 18/1, Point winner who won 2 mares' handicap hurdles in 2022 but struggled in a trio of starts over fences when last seen almost 2 years ago. Hard to recommend. Absent since three underwhelming chase runs in 2022-23 season but still worth market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Higgs |
(8) (20/1 -43%)20/1(-43%) | (8) Higgs 20/1, Has been unreliable but went through a good spell in May, scoring twice, including here (3m). Might have found busy spell catching up with him final start so no surprise if he bounced back after a break. Dual 3m chase winner in spring; off since poor run in June; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Esperti |
(9) (66/1 +0%)66/1(+0%) | (9) Esperti 66/1, Little impact over hurdles for this yard and fared no better sent chasing last 2 starts. Well beaten in both chases this autumn and difficult to enthuse over. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Lermoos Legend relished the drop in distance when hosing up at this venue on his latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts, despite his 7lb penalty. However, it may pay to side with PEP TALKING, who regained the winning thread in this grade at Uttoxeter at the start of the month and a 5lb rise looks fair. The six-year-old looks up to completing a double, while Higgs is noted too.
PEP TALKING has made an encouraging start for this yard, showing improved form to score at Uttoxeter last time, and looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise. Supasunrise is feared most returned to a more suitable trip, while Bobbi's Beauty is worth another chance to back up her chase debut win.
Preference is for PEP TALKING, who doubled his chasing tally at Uttoxeter recently and is not yet fully exposed over fences.

Decorated |
(6) (11/4 +83%)11/4(+83%) | (6) Decorated 11/4, Won twice over hurdles last season and, following a breathing operation, hinted at a revival in first-time cheekpieces when fourth at Exeter (23.1f, heavy) in February. Went the wrong way next 2 starts, though, and off 7 months ahead of chase debut. Won two hurdles at about 2m4f two seasons ago; mostly low key last winter; chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Flier Begley |
(1) (11/4 -38%)11/4(-38%) | (1) The Flier Begley 11/4, Fairly useful chase winner for Stuart Crawford in Ireland and returned to his best for current yard last month, scoring at this C&D before following up at Carlisle (20f, good to soft). Can make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Recaptured form for new yard with 2m4f wins here and at Carlisle; back up 5lb; solid. |

Ballycamus |
(3) (7/2 +13%)7/2(+13%) | (3) Ballycamus 7/2, Made a successful debut over fences at Chepstow last December and added to his tally at this C&D the following month. Runner-up all 3 remaining starts last season, so no surprise to see him bounce back after below-par effort at Stratford on return. 2-6 over fences last winter, including C&D; well below best on return; better likely. |

Heard That |
(7) (9/2 +31%)9/2(+31%) | (7) Heard That 9/2, Placed on second of 2 starts in points and fair form over hurdles last season, runner-up on 2 of his last 3 outings. However, after 7 months off (had breathing operation) he lost his action when pulled up at Ffos Las on chase debut 10 days ago. In good form without winning over hurdles in early 2024; pulled up on chase debut in May. |

Pearly Island |
(4) (9/1 -125%)9/1(-125%) | (4) Pearly Island 9/1, Dual hurdles scorer who opened chase account at Huntingdon (19.8f) in March. Below best next time but quickly returned to form when runner-up back at that venue on final start in April. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 6 months off. First chase win (2m4f) in March; needs to return in peak form but no great record fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Opening Bid |
(2) (12/1 -20%)12/1(-20%) | (2) Opening Bid 12/1, Won 5 times in 2023/24 and, making second start in cheekpieces, returned to winning ways at Exeter (19.2f, good) in October. However, failed to repeat that effort when well held at Chepstow 22 days ago. Bounce back called for. Ran up to best when winning at Exeter (2m3f); not so good latest; suited by good/quicker. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Pearly Island only found one too good over this trip at Huntingdon when last seen in April and he returns off the same mark today, but the vote goes to THE FLIER BEGLEY. Gary Hanmer's charge has really found his stride of late, winning over C&D before following up at Carlisle, and a further 5lb hike might not prevent him completing a hat-trick. Ballycamus disappointed on his reappearance last month, but he cannot be ruled out for an in-form yard.
With Jack Hogan in the saddle, THE FLIER BEGLEY has proved strong at the finish when winning his last 2 starts, successful over C&D on the first occasion, and he can go on to land the hat-trick in his current form. Ballycamus could be the main danger.
Ballycamus is not passed over lightly but THE FLIER BEGLEY may still have a bit further to go before he's weighted out of things.

Drop in trip won't inconvenience him and possibilities up 6 lb. Made it 3-4 at Hexham when winning here 12 days ago; solid claims. |

(10) (5/1 +29%)5/1(+29%) | (10) Kicksaftersix 5/1, Opened his account in a handicap chase over 15.6f here in summer 2023. Winless since but consistency hard to knock in recent months, again finding only one too good back here 39 days ago. Yard amongst the winners and step back up in trip within range. Poor strike-rate but sole win came here and he arrives in good form; can be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Paddy Pie |
(9) (11/2 +15%)11/2(+15%) | (9) The Paddy Pie 11/2, Losing run stretches back almost 2 years but his mark reflects that and he comes here having run well when second of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, good) 15 days ago. Can't be ruled out at this level. Having dropped down the weights he was a clear second at Sedgefield a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Flash Du Pistolet |
(2) (11/2 -22%)11/2(-22%) | (2) Flash Du Pistolet 11/2, Ex-pointer who displayed fair form at best over hurdles and encouraging return from 10 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 25 days ago, no extra only late on. Rates a likely improver in this sphere. Placed in points and over hurdles; could build upon last month's encouraging chase debut. |

Ribeye |
(7) (13/2 +7%)13/2(+7%) | (7) Ribeye 13/2, C&D winner who stepped up on his reappearance run here, when 6 lengths third of 7 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f) 3 weeks ago. Merits a second look operating just 1 lb above the mark he last tasted success from. C&D winner who was a good third at Newcastle three weeks ago; he's on the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cudgel |
(8) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (8) Cudgel 8/1, All 6 career wins have been registered at this course and he typically gave a good account of himself when third in a C&D handicap 6 months ago. Has gone well fresh in the past and he's another in with a shout. 11yo who has been beaten on last 10 starts but this 6-time course winner is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Poetry Man |
(5) (10/1 +0%)10/1(+0%) | (5) Poetry Man 10/1, Failed to trouble the judge over hurdles but more like it with cheekpieces enlisted/sent chasing, placed in pair of Newcastle handicaps during the spring. Unseated both starts around here at 3m thereafter but he's certainly not one to write off returning from 6 months off. Unseated here in the spring on last two starts but good second at Newcastle previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Okavango Delta |
(4) (12/1 +0%)12/1(+0%) | (4) Okavango Delta 12/1, Hurdles winner who shaped with encouragement starting out for new yard when fourth in handicap chase here (15.6f) in October. Couldn't build on that when sixth at Kelso (17f) next time but a return to this longer trip may well see him in a better light here. Respectable efforts on first two runs for trainer and this step back up in trip may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kauto D'amour |
(6) (18/1 -13%)18/1(-13%) | (6) Kauto D'amour 18/1, Dual hurdles winner who was placed on all 3 completed starts over fences in 2022. Fell on sole outing of last year over C&D in October and he'll need to have brushed up his jumping now returning from another lengthy absence. Well treated on his 2022 placed form but has run just once since, when well beaten in 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lisloran |
(3) (20/1 +20%)20/1(+20%) | (3) Lisloran 20/1, Won 3 times over fences at around 2½m during 2022/23 campaign. Failed to kick on from a respectable run over hurdles last term, running poorly when sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) in February. Cheekpieces worn then are discarded back from 9 months off/following wind surgery. Returns having had wind op but he was tailed off on his last two starts last season. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RETURN FIRE was able to exploit his sliding handicap mark when on target over 3m here recently and with a drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience this C&D winner, a 6lb rise might prove lenient. The Paddy Pie bounce backed to form when filling the runner-up spot at Sedgefield and is respected from 2lb higher, along with the consistent Kicksaftersix. Flash Du Pistolet didn't fire on his chasing debut having been sent off joint-favourite, but he may step forward now.
It could be worth siding with RIBEYE who stepped up on his comeback run when finishing a good third at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and lines up just 1 lb above the mark he last tasted success from over this C&D. Return Fire was successful over 3m here 12 days ago and needs considering. Flash du Pistolet is another who has wins in him in this sphere judged on an encouraging reappearance display at Kelso last month.
Lightly raced 6yo FLASH DU PISTOLET was a promising fourth on last month's chase debut at Kelso, and can build on that with a win.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TOMARLO finished well here over 5f before opening his account over an extra furlong earlier this month and gets the vote to confirm places with Vanilla Baby, Undefeatable and Movin And Groovin. who were second, third and fourth respectively. The selection appeared to score with a bit in hand and a 5lb rise seems reasonable. That form ties in with the mile success of Sunriseontheboyne here last Friday where Movin And Groovin was a length and a half back in third. Annie Lavinia didn't enjoy a clear passage here on handicap debut last month, while there isn't much to choose between Roaming Eyes and Zuzzudio on running behind Mykonian Odyssey at Naas.
TOMARLO advanced his form considerably when a cosy scorer here last time and can make light of a 5 lb rise. Vanilla Baby chased home David Marnane's gelding that day and again looks second best ahead of recent course scorer Sunriseontheboyne, Annie Lavinia and Movin And Groovin.
A 6f nursery here two weeks ago provides key evidence. Runner-up VANILLA BABY may turn the tables on the winner Tomarlo

Wonderweasle |
(11) (7/2 +56%)7/2(+56%) | (11) Wonderweasle 7/2, Belatedly built on the promise shown in novice company to get off the mark here in March and ran to a similar level when third here (20f, soft) the following month. Should remain competitive provided she's ready to roll on reappearance. In good form on heavy ground here at end of last season; back from a break today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hedera Park |
(6) (4/1 +11%)4/1(+11%) | (6) Hedera Park 4/1, Gained compensation for her final-flight fall at Worcester earlier in the season when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) earlier this month and ran at least as well under a penalty when third of 6 at Taunton (19f, good) last week. Should go well again. Won 18-runner Chepstow handicap this month but is too inconsistent to rely upon heavily. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It's Easy |
(3) (9/2 -13%)9/2(-13%) | (3) It's Easy 9/2, Fairly useful maiden chaser in France for David Cottin but just respectable efforts at best for Clive Boultbee-Brooks. Down in the weights as a result and sound start for this yard when second at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) last month. Can build on that here. Yet to win in Britain but ran well on stable debut and today's longer trip ought to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Elusiveness |
(10) (6/1 +33%)6/1(+33%) | (10) Elusiveness 6/1, Flat-bred mare who took a step forward when runner-up on her handicap debut at Exeter on final start of last season. Looked rusty returning from 6 months off back there recently but worth another chance with that under her belt. Cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie. Battled on in first two handicaps; may travel more sweetly in first-time cheekpieces here. |

Triple Nickle |

In mostly good form on the level over the summer (won at this track in August) so she merits consideration back in this sphere. 1 lb out of the weights. In good form over hurdles and on the Flat since the spring; attempts a new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cast's Tasha |
(1) (7/1 +13%)7/1(+13%) | (1) Cast's Tasha 7/1, Began last campaign in fine form over hurdles and value for extra when landing cramped odds on chase debut here in February. Never threatened on both subsequent starts (latest back hurdling) but worth a second look on return for a yard who have hit the target twice this month. Not seen since underwhelming run in April and current mark demands a career-best effort. |

Sanda Rena |
(9) (8/1 +50%)8/1(+50%) | (9) Sanda Rena 8/1, £150,000 purchase after winning an Irish point and finished third on Rules debut in a Southwell bumper in 2023. Some promise in novice hurdles (left Ben Pauling after second one) but shaped as if amiss on handicap debut at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) last month. Tongue tie applied. Still unexposed over hurdles but finished well down the field on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sweet Magic |
(4) (12/1 -9%)12/1(-9%) | (4) Sweet Magic 12/1, Would have gone close but for departing at Warwick (19f, heavy) when last seen 12 months ago, upsides when approaching last. A shade disconcerting that she's not been seen since but worth monitoring in the betting (returns 2 lb lower). Held every chance before last-flight fall a year ago but not seen again since. |

Miss Hunky Dory |
(8) (22/1 -10%)22/1(-10%) | (8) Miss Hunky Dory 22/1, Third in a bumper at Exeter on New Year's Day and gave reason for encouragement when a staying-on second in a Wincanton novice (15.2f) in March. Failed to repeat that at Chepstow next time and ran no sort of race on handicap debut when last seen in April. Bit to prove on return (had wind op). Struggled on handicap debut in April; had wind op during seven-month break. |

Walkinthecotswolds |

Not so good back down to 2m at Uttoxeter a month later and a first-time hood goes on for her reappearance. Below form on latest start in April but was consistent in early part of year; e-w claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not beaten far when looking to land the double here over 2m4f in April, WONDERWEASLE kept on well towards the end of that contest, giving the impression that she would appreciate going up in trip. As long as she handles the quicker ground, the six-year-old may have too much for Stratford runner-up It's Easy, and Hedera Park, who was a comfortable winner at Chepstow on her penultimate outing. Triple Nickle cannot be ruled out either.
A host in with chances and it could pay to side with GATA BAN, who took a step back in the right direction at Chepstow a fortnight ago and shaped as though she'll come on again for the outing. Dropped a further 3 lb, she can get the better of Triple Nickle, who has been in good form on the level this summer (won at this course) and was twice runner-up over hurdles in May. It's Easy and Hedera Park are another couple that should go well, too.
It's worth chancing GATA BAN, who shaped well at Chepstow recently and may now be at concert pitch for this third run after a layoff.

Paddy In The Caddy |

Underwent breathing surgery ahead of his chasing debut but raced too freely when a well-held seventh at Uttoxeter (2m4f) 19 days ago. Needs to settle better. Impressed when winning handicap hurdle debut at 2m4f; low-key chase debut; rain no help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pillar Rock |
(7) (6/1 -9%)6/1(-9%) | (7) Pillar Rock 6/1, Modest maiden hurdler but this half-brother to 3 winners represents a top yard and remains with potential now going over fences. Had few chances; shown promise in two handicap hurdles; might well improve for fences. |

Abaya Du Mathan |
(3) (10/1 +0%)10/1(+0%) | (3) Abaya Du Mathan 10/1, C&D winner who got back on track when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. C&D winner in April; some fair form since and now back on that winning mark. |

Ostrava Du Berlais |
(1) (10/1 -100%)10/1(-100%) | (1) Ostrava Du Berlais 10/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Patrice Quinton in France.

Placed over fences in France; hurdle promise in Britain; sharp test can suit back chasing. |

Miss Marette |

Boom Boom |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Copernic Du Mazet looked the most likely winner before coming to grief two from home at Bangor last month and, if none the worse for that tumble, he should mount a stern challenge. That said, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful about the chances of PADDY IN THE CADDY. He travelled strongly into contention on his seasonal return/chasing debut recently, before weakening approaching two out. A drop in distance ought to suit on that evidence and, on his second start following wind surgery, he may step forward. Abaya Du Mathan heads the remainder.
COPERNIC DU MAZET took a big step forward on his fencing bow at Bangor and looked the probable winner when coming down 2 out so is fancied to make amends here. Dan Skelton's chasing newcomer Pillar Rock could emerge as the chief threat with C&D winner Abaya Du Mathan also well in the mix. The returning Ostrava Du Berlais could have a say too if breathing surgery has a reviving effect.
The chance is taken that COPERNIC DU MAZET can shrug off a late fall at Bangor as he'd jumped really well on his chase debut up to then.

Every chance he will make it third time lucky. Runner-up at Perth and Ayr the last twice and holds leading claims. |

Fancied to be bang there with that under his belt. Promising fourth on last month's bumper debut at Carlisle and he's respected. |

Dam unraced half-sister to top-class hurdler/smart chaser (2m-2¾m winner) Peddlers Cross. Debutant to consider.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Runner-up to promising types at Perth and Ayr, this looks a good opportunity for the Ewan Whillans-trained BESPOKE TAILOR to get off the mark. Connections would have been pleased with He's Bresilian's bumper debut at Carlisle, though, and he is the main threat. Noble George, a half-brother to two NH Flat winners, is worth a market check ahead of his racecourse bow.
BESPOKE TAILOR has found just one too strong on both starts so far so Ewan Whillans' 4-y-o is fancied to make it third time lucky at the expense of He's Bresilian, who shaped with a more encouragement than he had in a couple of points when fourth at Carlisle last month. Noble George makes most paper appeal of the newcomers so can occupy third place.
This could go to HE'S BRESILIAN, who was a promising fourth on last month's bumper debut at Carlisle and is open to improvement.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BEATRIX POWER has been a frustrating sort to follow but may finally open her account. The selection seems equally effective over 5f and 6f and steps back up to this distance after twice being beaten at odds-on, including by the narrowest of margins here earlier this month. Lady Pagasa has been tried over a variety of trips and now drops back in distance after two outings over a mile since joining current connections. She is now fitted with cheekpieces and the booking of Colin Keane is significant, while Eyema Candy Girl is related to a number of sprint winners in Australia and any market move for the Justify filly would be interesting.
The fact BEATRIX POWER has been turned over at short odds the last twice means she's perhaps not one for maximum faith but this does look a very good chance for her. Lady Pagasa is the obvious threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Joseph O'Brien debutante Eyema Candy Girl.
This looks like an excellent opportunity for the consistent BEATRIX POWER who was narrowly denied over 5f here last time

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
An encouraging third on debut at Southwell last month when outpaced before staying on to good effect at the finish, THE LONG WALK is likely to improve plenty for that experience and he can get off the mark on this occasion. Mustang Betty didn't do herself any favours when slowly into stride at Warwick first time out, but she did well to keep on for third and is a key player, along with Rules newcomer Swindon Village.
THE LONG WALK made a promising start when third in a Southwell bumper last month, form which has been boosted by the runner-up winning next time, so he is taken to get off the mark with that experience behind him. Mustang Betty also shaped well on her debut and is feared most, with Collanisi the pick of the debutants for his in-form yard.
Southwell third THE LONG WALK sets a fair standard of rules form and might be the answer.

Has held his form between the flags but never really looked like justifying support back over timber last month (22f). Step up in trip may help switched to a handicap with cheekpieces on. Promising in novice hurdles before multiple point wins; interesting on handicap debut. |

Fared as well as could be expected in the Midlands Grand National and she's much lower in the weights over timber. Staying chaser; much lower hurdle mark but vulnerable off even lower ones in the past. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
IKARAK struggled in a warm heat at Cheltenham in January before failing to fire in an equally as competitive event at Newbury the following month, but he might be the answer. Now in the care of Olly Murphy, the six-year-old will undoubtedly appreciate an ease in grade and he has gone well when fresh before. Butler's Brief, up 4lb having won at Bangor last month, is an obvious candidate, while Drop Flight kept on well over 2m4f at Carlisle latest and may fare better now upped in trip.
It's taken Dan Skelton a little time to find the key to DROP FLIGHT but his Carlisle effort at the start of the month was a lot more like it and back up in trip, he now looks ready to cash in on a good mark. Chris Cool has his jumping issues but is very dangerous if keeping the mistakes down, with Butler's Brief likely to be on the premises, too.
Ikarak makes some appeal for his new yard but DROP FLIGHT (nap) looked ready for a bigger effort at Carlisle recently.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ZABEIR won a 7f maiden here over two years ago and looks capable of adding to that victory after dropping to a competitive mark. The Donal Kinsella-trained gelding has shown plenty of promise here on his latest two starts including when just denied by Skontonovski over a mile last month. The Michael O'Callaghan-trained duo of Darkdeserthighway and Rockbury Lad are others to consider, along with recent C&D winner Higher Kingdom and Shining Aitch. Speckled Meadow is generally a model of consistency and well suited by soft ground on turf, but didn't show the same level of form previously on this surface.
Having tumbled in the weights, ZABEIR stopped the slide when second over C&D 3 weeks ago and now he's back in good order, he's fancied to cash in. Higher Kingdom landed a punt here 12 days ago and is feared despite his new mark, with Man Is King another to note.
Michael O'Callaghan has a strong hand with preference for ROCKBURY LAD who is a previous C&D winner that caught the eye last time

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having scored over C&D in September, five-time all-weather winner DEMBE then wasn't disgraced when finishing fifth in a 14-runner affair at Newmarket. The Simon Pearce-trained gelding should relish a return to this track and a higher mark in this sphere may not be enough to stop him from getting his head back in front. Ureshii caught the eye on his third-placed handicap bow at Newbury in June and he's feared most, ahead of Kracking.
DEMBE landed a gamble with plenty to spare over C&D in September and returned to the AW, his revised mark looks well within range. Thorntonledale Max may have more to offer over 1m so he's feared most, though Vibrato has to be respected in his hat-trick bid and Ureshii isn't yet exposed.
This should set up for the closers. DEMBE, who readily swept past all eight of his rivals in the straight two runs ago, is the call.

Lines up here from career-low mark but lesser efforts outweigh the good ones this year. No wins since 2022 Kempton success; promising C&D run in August but poor twice since. |

GARDONE has done well since switched to the Polytrack this year and may add to a C&D win in August. The Eric McNamara-trained gelding has shaped well on both outings since and is closely matched with Gallo Dell Cielo on running behind Barretstown a fortnight ago. The World's Astage, Dancing Steve and Beauty Bella filled the first three places in a separate division of the aforementioned handicap here two weeks ago and that trio are all worthy of consideration. Tipperary winner Dancing Steve has built up a series of consistent efforts here, while Chopsticks and Marians Gal have also advertised their chances here recently.
GARDONE has found some consistency since returned to this surface, opening his account over C&D prior to a pair of solid efforts in defeat. He gets the nod in a wide-open affair. The World's Astage, Dancing Steve and Spinning Web head up the dangers, with Gallo dell Cielo another in the mix.
THE WORLD'S ASTAGE had some of these in behind when successful over C&D recently and she gives the impression there's still more to come

Dante's Lad |

Not in the same form in a valuable sales race at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on final start for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but could easily get back on track for new yard now switching to a nursery. A market move would look highly significant on yard/British/nursery debut. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The ground appeared too soft at Doncaster for WILD NATURE when coming home last on his nursery bow. Charlie Appleby's inmate looked one to keep on side on his three previous efforts and he is worth another chance now tackling Polytrack. A 14lb hike in the ratings was enough to thwart Spirit Lead Me in his bid to land a hat-trick over 7f here, but he wasn't beaten far in third and is unexposed over a mile. Stable/nursery debutant Dante's Lad is also noted.
It's probably wise to excuse WILD NATURE's Doncaster nursery debut run given he was badly hampered soon after the start and perhaps unsuited by extreme conditions, so he's well worth another chance having looked progressive prior to that. Dante's Lad has joined a yard that does well with its recruits and the furlong longer trip seems sure to suit based on his pedigree. Spirit Lead Me seems highly likely to give another good account so warrants respect, also.
The way SPIRIT LEAD ME was coming back at the line over 7f here a fortnight ago suggests his revised mark can be defied returned to 1m.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Willie McCreery saddles two contenders and riding arrangements suggest LILTIA is preferred. The daughter of Teofilo has been placed on three of her five outings this year, including when staying on well into second behind Sidiza over 1m2f at Navan. Expelliarmus also came home strongly over 1m2f at Navan last year before showing some promise over hurdles but now reappears after a lengthy absence, while stablemate Winsome steps up considerably in distance after being placed here last time. Pearl Jewel has been generally consistent this year including on the Polytrack, while Shaool had Santa Princess behind when showing some promise in a Curragh maiden over this trip.
PEARL JEWEL should prove suited by stepping back up to 1m4f and looks the way to go in this open maiden. Joseph O'Brien has his string in good nick so his returning Expelliarmus could emerge as the main danger, with Liltia and Shaool also worthy of respect.
An ease in the ground may not have suited LILTIA at the Currafgh last time and she is worth another chance over this trip

Longlai |

Caught too far back and shaped well when fifth of 14 over C&D latest. On the shortlist. Conditions to suit; latest run can be upgraded but this is a deeper race. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The softer ground appeared to stretch ROI DE FRANCE's stamina when down the field in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket, but the lightly-raced son of Sea The Stars makes plenty of appeal in these calmer waters and may take some stopping reverting to the all-weather. Having stayed on to finish third over 7f at Southwell last month, Harvard Sound must also enter calculations on his first attempt at a mile. Hafeet Alain may fare best of the remainder.
A cracking handicap. ROI DE FRANCE is better than he showed in the Cambridgeshire and can get back on the up now. Like the selection, Victorious Street and Harvard Sound are 3-y-os who likely have more to offer. Longlai and Sterling Knight may prove best of the older brigade.
Harvard Sound can improve for stepping up to 1m but VICTORIOUS STREET appeals as the type to carry on improving on this surface.

BRAVE BYREFLECTION made a debut full of promise to claim the silver medal at Ripon in August and she could take a big step forward from that effort. Alice Haynes' juvenile might only need to find normal improvement in order to make use of her 12lb advantage over Mini Mac, who shed his maiden tag at Brighton before failing to fire on his nursery debut at Newcastle. Even so, he is expected to prove the main threat, while any market confidence behind Em Four would be interesting.
There was plenty to like about BRAVE BYREFLECTION's opening second at Ripon in August and she can make the most of the weight she receives from Brighton winner Mini Mac. Al Baarez was getting the hang of things towards the end of his Chelmsford debut and also makes the shortlist.
This looks a good opportunity for BRAVE BYREFLECTION to go one better than on debut at Ripon in August.

IMPULSE BUY went into many notebooks when outrunning his odds to finish a close-up third on his debut at Southwell last week. Clare Hobson's youngster looks to have been found a suitable assignment and could prove difficult to beat with that experience under his belt. Something Splendid was beaten a long way on his first start in a nursery at Newmarket, but he is a player based on his second at Southwell prior to that. Best Of All needs to be monitored closely in the market.
IMPULSE BUY is the percentage call on the back of his promising first run at Southwell last week, although strong market support for Roger Varian newcomer Best of All would put a slightly different slant on things. War Supremo should build on his Southwell debut and also makes the shortlist.
Best Of All is a newcomer of note but IMPULSE BUY ran well on last week's debut and can put that experience to good use.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
TRANSPARENT finished over five lengths clear of a subsequent winner when occupying the runner-up berth over track and trip last month. As long as the son of Mehmas can overcome his difficult draw in stall 14, he ought to go very close. Bridget's View improved on her debut fifth when just touched off at Newmarket and it would be no surprise to see her get into contention again. Sanditon and Teroomm are intriguing debutants to watch out for.
BRIDGET'S VIEW found only a promising newcomer a neck too strong at Newmarket 18 days ago and in receipt of weight all round, she rates the percentage call. Transparent's C&D debut second was full of promise so he must command respect, with Teroomm and San Juanito perhaps the pick of a good-looking bunch of debutants.
Teroomm could prove pick of the newcomers but BRIDGET'S VIEW sets the standard and remains capable of better.

Berkshire Sundance |
(6) (6/4 +50%)6/4(+50%) | (6) Berkshire Sundance 6/4, C&D winner. Unseated rider on return from a year off in September but successful on both starts since, latterly in 4-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 20 days ago, getting first run but best at weights in any case. Needs respecting once more. This 4yo is on the up and he looks the one to beat here in receipt of 8lb plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Duke Of Oxford |
(3) (5/2 +0%)5/2(+0%) | (3) Duke Of Oxford 5/2, Reliable stayer on all-weather, adding back to-back C&D handicaps to his tally last winter. Not ideally placed when 1¼ lengths third of 7 to Cool Party returned to this C&D 4 weeks ago and interesting meeting that rival on these more favourable terms. Chance probably hinges on them going quicker early than they did last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cool Party |
(4) (10/3 -21%)10/3(-21%) | (4) Cool Party 10/3, Lightly raced this year but comes here at the top of his game, landing his second successive C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, edging ahead before final 1f and keeping on. Should be thereabouts again nudged up 2 lb in hat-trick bid. Bids for C&D hat-trick and is just 2lb higher than last time. |

Sheradann |
(5) (17/2 +15%)17/2(+15%) | (5) Sheradann 17/2, Useful, 3-time winner in France last year, winning 3 times at up to 15f. Changed hands for €250,000 and yet to really hit the ground running for this yard, heavily eased off when ninth of 11 in handicap at Chester (15.9f) in September. Has it to prove on polytrack debut. Rather watch for all good trainer ought to find a race for him sooner rather than later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Beamish |
(2) (12/1 -50%)12/1(-50%) | (2) Beamish 12/1, Useful performer for previous connections in Ireland and produced much his best effort so far for this yard when going close in a 2m handicap on Shergar Cup day at Ascot in August. Recent efforts not so inspiring, well held in November Handicap 11 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Much more miss than hit in Britain; rather watch AW debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rajinsky |
(1) (50/1 -257%)50/1(-257%) | (1) Rajinsky 50/1, Smart staying performer at his best but down the field both starts since returning from a length absence this autumn, latterly when last of 4 in conditions' stakes at Pontefract (18f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Assessor has given him a chance but others appeal plenty more. Beat Trueshan when landing Listed contest last April but little to shout about of late. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
COOL PARTY arrives at the top of his game after scoring over C&D on his last two starts and a mere 2lb rise for his most recent success may not be enough to stop him from landing the hat-trick. Berkshire Sundance arrives with similar claims after triumphing over 1m6f the last twice and, a previous track-and-trip winner himself, he should appreciate the step back up to 2m. Duke Of Oxford is 5lb better off with the selection for finishing just over a length behind him here last month and he should be thereabouts again.
DUKE OF OXFORD found himself not so well placed as the pair that beat him when third behind re-opposing Cool Party over C&D 4 weeks ago. However, that was his first start since August and, meeting that rival on 5 lb better terms, he could be worth siding with to come out on top. Berkshire Sundance continues to go the right way and along with aforementioned Cool Party, heads the dangers.
This is a rise in grade for BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE (nap) but the horses he beat in Class 4 races the last twice give his form a solid look.

Eavestone |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Power Of Destiny |
(1) (11/4 +58%)11/4(+58%) | (1) Power Of Destiny 11/4, Progressive until below form last 2 starts for Sir Michael Stoute. Type to take to AW so could well bounce back. Interesting to see what the market makes of her starting out for Ralph Beckett. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Blessed Honour |
(3) (7/2 -56%)7/2(-56%) | (3) Blessed Honour 7/2, Progressive first 3 starts and showed a willing attitude to score in a 4-runner novice at Nottingham. Failed to meet expectations on handicap bow when fourth of 9 (13/8) at Newbury (12f, good to soft) 61 days ago but still early days. Key player back on a quick surface with the prospect of more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Silent Glance |
(2) (10/1 -25%)10/1(-25%) | (2) Silent Glance 10/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 4 runs. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Well held next 2 starts on turf but is unbeaten on AW. Looked a smart prospect at one point but is now on a recovery mission. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Typical Woman |
(5) (11/1 +31%)11/1(+31%) | (5) Typical Woman 11/1, Latest win at Newmarket in August. 9/2, would likely have benefited from more a test when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 19 days ago. Enters calculations. Still without cheekpieces and she might find a few better treated now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dramatic Effect |
(7) (22/1 +0%)22/1(+0%) | (7) Dramatic Effect 22/1, Winner at Goodwood in June. Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy, 20/1) 26 days ago. Makes AW debut. Hood back on. Will need to settle if she's to see out this trip; AW debut. |

Hillbridge |
(8) (28/1 -100%)28/1(-100%) | (8) Hillbridge 28/1, Fair maiden, fifth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 7/1) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form. 0-6; might find easier handicap opportunities than this further down the line. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sid's Annie |
(6) (33/1 -18%)33/1(-18%) | (6) Sid's Annie 33/1, Unreliable sort. Course winner. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Southwell (12.1f). Off 11 months and likely to need this. Is back on her last winning mark but will surely need this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Now that the penny has dropped for EAVESTONE after a comfortable success over further at Southwell, the daughter of Lope De Vega is likely to have more improvement forthcoming on her handicap bow. A mark of 80 could underestimate her and she gets the vote ahead of Blessed Honour, who has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of her Nottingham defeat of Power Of Destiny in the summer. The latter now has her first start for the Ralph Beckett team and is one to monitor for market support.
POWER OF DESTINY looks the type to take to AW and is on a good mark on the pick of her form, so could be worth chancing starting out for Ralph Beckett. Blessed Honour failed to meet expectations on her handicap bow at Newbury but is worth another chance, with Typical Woman another to consider.
Ralph Beckett's pair are of interest but maybe BLESSED HONOUR will appreciate returning to a quicker surface and be the answer.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
ADACE deservedly regained the winning thread with a taking performance over C&D last month and 2lb rise for that success could prove lenient at a similar level. The daughter of Adaay is narrowly preferred to stablemate The Spotlight Kid, who scored over 1m here last time out, while Diamondsinthesand (third) has two lengths to make up with the selection from that recent contest but is 3lb better off. Others to note include Nubough, Shamardia and Valadero.
ADACE looked better than ever when a smooth winner over C&D 3 weeks ago so gets the vote up 2 lb. The Spotlight Kid made a winning return to the AW here 2 weeks ago and is next best ahead of Valadero.
Dean Ivory's last-time-out course winners Adace and THE SPOTLIGHT KID could fight this out.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
