Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (13/8 -35%) Loustic Du Chatel	1.625 13/8(-35%)	(3) Loustic Du Chatel 13/8, Did too much too soon and bit below previous best when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time; effective at 2m on soft; needs to settle better but obvious chance in a weak race. Eventually swallowed up last time; style of racing aside, has leading chance on best form.
2	2 2nd (2) (25/1 -39%) Into Battle	25 25/1(-39%)	(2) Into Battle 25/1, Keen, needed run on hurdles debut finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Newbury most recent; since had a wind op; off a short-break; effective 10f on Flat; improvement required over hurdles. Had wind surgery since tailed off at Newbury; retains potential based on Flat form.
3	10 3rd (10) (6/1 +79%) Flash Man	6 6/1(+79%)	(10) Flash Man 6/1, Mistakes, outpaced, poor debut when well beaten in a 4yo hurdle at Ascot latest; off a short-break; showed promise in France, plenty to prove for now. Soundly beaten on British/hurdles debut but French Flat form suggests he should do better.
4	4 4th (4) (11/10 +8%) Myrighthandman	1.1 11/10(+8%)	(4) Myrighthandman 11/10, Improved on second run after wind op when second beaten a length in a maiden hurdle at Catterick latest; effective 2m on soft and good to soft; can again go well. Gradually heading in the right direction over hurdles; clear second at Catterick latest.
5th	1 5th (1) (8/1 +33%) Eternity Rose	8 8/1(+33%)	(1) Eternity Rose 8/1, Never in it from off the pace on hurdles debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon most recent; usually held up; effective at 2m in bumpers; major improvement needed. Consistent in bumpers; well beaten on the switch to hurdles but may rebound.
6th	9 6th (9) (40/1 -43%) Canopus	40 40/1(-43%)	(9) Canopus 40/1, Another poor effort back on the Flat when down the field in a handicap at Lingfield most recent; enough to prove back hurdling. Two poor performances (hurdle/Flat) for new yard.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 +24%) Seeking Charles	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Seeking Charles 25/1, Modest hurdles debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Newbury latest; major improvement needed to figure here. Showed no improvement at Newbury on the switch to this code.
8th	12 8th (12) (200/1 -100%) Wise Counsellor	200 200/1(-100%)	(12) Wise Counsellor 200/1, Still green, mistakes when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Huntingdon latest; might do better when handicapping. Two hurdles efforts amount to little.
9th	7 9th (7) (200/1 -150%) Nicely Curved	200 200/1(-150%)	(7) Nicely Curved 200/1, Some promise on hurdles debut when fourth beaten 30l in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster latest; effective at 8f on Flat; needs to prove stamina over hurdles. Failed to convince with her stamina on hurdles debut.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (100/1 -150%) Whisky Max	100 100/1(-150%)	(11) Whisky Max 100/1, Again showed little when pulled up at Cagnes-Sur-Mer latest; joined a good stable but hard to make a case for on what we've seen. Pulled up in two hurdle runs in France in December; plenty to prove.

Loustic Du Chatel won an Ascot bumper back in November and is respected in what looks only a moderate heat. However, he's yet to truly transfer that level of form to hurdles and MYRIGHTHANDMAN is preferred. Tom Lacey's charge was able to build on an encouraging third at Southwell to fill the runner-up spot at Catterick next time and a similar level of performance might suffice. Whilst many others have yet to show an aptitude for hurdling, newcomer Whisky Max wouldn't need to be anything special in order to hit the frame.

The biggest players on hurdles form are MYRIGHTHANDMAN, whose turn looks near, and Loustic Du Chatel.

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +25%) Homme D'un Soir	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Homme D'un Soir 3/1, Well below form when fourth beaten 32l in a handicap chase at Hereford latest; effective 2m, acts on most ground; bounce back needed returning to hurdles. Better known as a chaser but ran well when back over hurdles last month; eased in grade.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +20%) Moutarde	6 6/1(+20%)	(2) Moutarde 6/1, Back to form down in trip comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Taunton last time; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on good to soft and good; chance if building on latest. Didn't run badly at Taunton a fortnight ago but needs to build on that effort here.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +10%) Bigz Belief	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(5) Bigz Belief 9/2, Ran to form beaten a neck at Wolverhampton last time; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good; capable back hurdling. Went close off basement Flat mark this month but others have more compelling claims.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (5/2 +62%) Western Soldier	2.5 5/2(+62%)	(4) Western Soldier 5/2, Again below form down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; bounce back needed. C&D winner; behind Thankyouplease here this month but can turn the tables today.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (85/40 +0%) Thankyouandplease	2.125 85/40(+0%)	(3) Thankyouandplease 85/40, Ran to form albeit made move too soon when second beaten 3l off 104 last time, 4lb higher here; effective around 2m, acts on heavy and good to soft; consistent hurdler, can again go well. C&D winner this month and good second at Taunton (2m3f) soon afterwards.

THANKYOUANDPLEASE scored over C&D two starts ago before filling the runner-up spot at Taunton when turned out under a penalty four days later. The drop back in trip should suit Syd Hosie's gelding and this appears to be a good opportunity to get back to winning ways. Homme D'Un Soir is likely to appreciate the return to hurdles after struggling last time at Hereford, while Bigz Belief is respected after going close on the level at Wolverhampton.

Topweight HOMME D'UN SOIR is now 5lb lower than when placed in a stronger hurdle race than this two starts ago and gets the nod.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -60%) Caspari	4 4/1(-60%)	(2) Caspari 4/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon by 2 1/2l last time; effective at 2m on good to soft; needs more under a penalty but open to progress for top stable. Twice-raced 5yo who is likely to build on Huntingdon win and improve further.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/6 +44%) Fountains Blenhein	0.833333 5/6(+44%)	(1) Fountains Blenhein 5/6, Back to form down in trip when second beaten 3l in a novice hurdle at Taunton latest; enjoys making it; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on sound surface; good chance in this. Dual hurdles winner who ran well last time; one of the main players.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/8 +6%) Step Ahead	1.875 15/8(+6%)	(3) Step Ahead 15/8, Found nil under pressure and clearly well below form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time; in good form prior; trainer in form; effective around 2m5f on good to soft and good; smart prospect, worth another chance. Disappointing over C&D last time but may rebound; has solid form otherwise.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -21%) Testing Patience	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Testing Patience 40/1, Small step in right direction when 21l third in a maiden bumper at Fontwell most recent run; effective at 2m, acts on heavy and good; bit to find on hurdles debut. Pedigree suggests he'll improve for the step up in trip on hurdles debut.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (150/1 -275%) Hello Tom	150 150/1(-275%)	(4) Hello Tom 150/1, Improved for better ground when 2l third in a maiden point at Toomebridge most recent run; returning from long layoff; effective at 3m in points; bit to find on rules debut. 0-5 in Irish points; not a particularly promising type.

Fountains Blenhein and Step Ahead both came up short under a penalty last time out but although that is unlikely to count against them here, CASPARI might still be too strong. An indifferent round of jumping didn't stop Nicky Henderson's charge from recording a comfortable success at Huntingdon last month and if wiser for that performance, there should be plenty more to come.

It may be worth keeping the faith in STEP AHEAD. The other main contenders are Caspari and Fountains Blenhein.

Form of penultimate run worked out well; considered on first attempt at a staying trip.
4	10 4th (10) (8/1 +33%) Kells Priory	8 8/1(+33%)	(10) Kells Priory 8/1, Needed run on stable debut, not given a hard time when fourth beaten 29l in a handicap hurdle at Warwick latest; seems best around 2m4f, acts on any; fair mark on Irish form, could come on for latest. Well held on last month's stable debut when may yet stage a revival for Olly Murphy.

6th	1 6th (1) (7/1 +0%) Jatiluwih	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Jatiluwih 7/1, Ran to form back from a break beaten 4l off this mark at Taunton last time; effective 2m3f-3m on any ground; chance if building on latest. Third behind two next-time-out winners at Taunton last month, after layoff; same mark here.

Good-ground winner last summer; makes stable debut after layoff; market may guide.

Steadied the ship with pretty good effort at Ascot last month and remains well handicapped.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (9/1 +44%) Miss Goldfire	9 9/1(+44%)	(6) Miss Goldfire 9/1, Again below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 3m, on a sound surface; better ground this time a plus. Ended 2025 with some below-par efforts but she won twice on good ground last spring.

Mr Griffiths' bid to land the hat-trick went wrong when capsizing at Doncaster and the six-year-old now has a 12lb rise to contend with for his wide-margin success the time before at Warwick. At The Oche filled the runner-up spot here over 2m5f but has stamina to prove, so the vote goes to JATILUWIH. The veteran returned from an 11-month absence when third at Taunton last month and that effort should have blown the cobwebs away.

Runner-up on both outings this year, AT THE OCHE is probably still on a good mark for this first attempt at 3m.

2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 -88%) Lucy The Wire	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(5) Lucy The Wire 15/2, Below form tried in a tongue-tie when fourth beaten 37l in a 4yo hurdle at Carlisle latest; trainer in form; effective at around 2m1f, acts on soft and good; debut form worked out well, could bounce back on handicap debut. Interesting contender, making her handicap debut in a race that was won by a 4yo last year.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/5 -20%) Rukaana	1.8 9/5(-20%)	(1) Rukaana 9/5, Back to best albeit outlasted when runner-up at Catterick latest; off a short-break; suited by 2m, acts on soft and good; back in form, fair mark on spring efforts. Showed improved form in January, winning readily at Windsor then clear second at Catterick.
4	4 4th (4) (3/1 -33%) Kotari	3 3/1(-33%)	(4) Kotari 3/1, Bit too free in front back from break after wind op when 4 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton most recent run; effective 2m, acts with cut and on good; should come on for latest, good mark judged on Flat form. Remains well treated judged on best Flat form and may build on latest hurdles effort.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -78%) Fravanco	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) Fravanco 16/1, Not best of runs but ran to form back on Flat beaten 3 1/2l off a 40lb lower mark at Lingfield last time; effective 10-14f on the Flat, acts on AW; stamina still to prove over hurdles. Opening mark is roughly in keeping with Flat ability; seems to have nothing in hand.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 +82%) Gone Country	6 6/1(+82%)	(6) Gone Country 6/1, Disappointing handicap debut when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Warwick most recent; seems effective at 2m under rules; needs more to win this. Similar type to Largy Panic and has something to prove.

Soft ground wouldn't have been ideal for RUKAANA at Catterick so he lost little in defeat by finishing second, especially because the winner bolted up subsequently. The Dark Angel gelding gets his ideal conditions this time around and whilst Ben Macey helps to negate a 4lb rise, he is expected to take all the beating. Handicap debutant Lucy The Wire can edge out Kotari and claim the silver medal.

This second run after wind surgery may be the time to catch KOTARI. Second choice is Rukaana.

8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 -133%) Mr Jukebox	14 14/1(-133%)	(7) Mr Jukebox 14/1, Similar level to debut 17l third in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; effective 2m on good to soft; should have more to offer but over further. Showed clear promise in both bumpers and on both hurdling starts but needs to improve.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 -20%) Bee's Kiss	150 150/1(-20%)	(9) Bee's Kiss 150/1, Another poor effort down the field in a maiden hurdle at Exeter most recent; 3m point winner; may need more time under rules. Irish point win last year; struggled to get competitive in any of her three hurdle races.

Looked quite promising in all three bumpers but probably best watched on this hurdle debut.

Stanners Glen showed promise on his hurdling debut when third at Taunton before proving no match for an easy winner at Doncaster. He is expected to be in the mix, but KILNEW SUPREME is preferred. Paul Nicholls' gelding finished runner-up in a bumper here in November and makes plenty of appeal on hurdling debut, especially given his point-to-point form behind Crystal Island. Best Trump was disappointing in a maiden hurdle won by Albert Bartlett hero Johnny's Jury at Exeter, but could step up.

Stanners Glen is respected but preference is for KILNEW SUPREME, who made a promising rules debut in a bumper here in November.

Productive over hurdles; ran encouragingly in latest chase start; possibilities.

Denemethy has been knocking at the door of late and appeals as one of the likelier winners, but PEP TALKING had excuses at Wincanton last time and might be worth chancing. Billy Aprahamian's charge was on a clear upward curve prior to that effort and it's quite possible that the three-month break will have done him the world of good. My Friend Sean is also noted.

There are factors that may well enable SOUTHOFTHEBORDER to take advantage of a reduced mark. My Friend Sean is second pick.

Dual soft-ground winner in recent weeks and today's conditions may suit even better.

Fell mid-race on recent chase debut but was in decent form over hurdles beforehand.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

SANITISER will likely take some stopping here. He is improving rapidly over fences judged on smooth successes at Plumpton and Fontwell and there should be more to come. Sage Green needs to brush up in the jumping department to have a chance but isn't completely overlooked, while Melton Mossy needs to improve a lot from his chasing debut at Chepstow last month.

Twice a winner on soft ground in recent weeks, SANITISER might be seen to even better effect on this quicker surface.

GUSTAVIAN has performed well for fourth the last twice in better races and has held his form well all season as his comeback success at Wincanton was really impressive. The veteran likes to get on with it and could dominate in this small field. Lumi Plugin will be staying on strongly and should make a race of it, while Annsam could go well if over his Sandown fall.

Gustavian and Annsam are respected veterans but LUMI PLUGIN's younger legs may carry him to a second chase win.

ESTISSA showed signs of inexperience before running on to finish third at Lingfield on her racecourse debut. The daughter of Dubawi is the first foal out of Group/Grade 1 winner Audarya, who was also trained by James Fanshawe, and she makes plenty of appeal with Oisin Murphy booked. Define ran with promise on both starts in Ireland and she is likely to go well. Others to note are Maid On The Shelf and Korbut.

The vote goes to ESTISSA who was an eyecatching third on her Lingfield debut in December and should know much more this time.

Moviddy is the sole C&D winner in here and cannot be overlooked, while Lagonda showed a bit more at Bangor latest and is another to take seriously. They all have TAXUS BACCATA to beat, though, as she saw off a useful form yardstick in Molto Bene when scoring narrowly at Leicester and connections seem to have found her another really winnable opening.

This might be best left to TAXUS BACCATA, who has stamina to prove but is still on a good mark after her recent Leicester win.

HE'S A LATCHICO represents an in-form yard and might not need to improve massively on his latest second at Plumpton in order to strike.

Wild Goose is noted too.

Back in calmer waters, SONIC PIONEER (nap) is well worth another chance. High Fibre is second choice.

FISTRAL BEACH has been in consistent form over the past few months and the five-year-old scored over C&D on her penultimate start. John Mackie's mare may find further improvement from the application of first-time cheekpieces in what looks a winnable contest on paper. Faster Bee could bounce back from his latest start at Southwell, while Sioux Warrior has dropped to a very fair mark.

The most solid option is FISTRAL BEACH, who was a good third in her bid for a C&D double ten days ago and remains feasibly treated.

A chance can be taken on AMBION VIEW, who performed with credit to finish third in a Pertemps Qualifier at Chepstow last month. The seven-year-old had been threatening to get his head in front earlier in the season, and a drop in trip on his second start following a wind operation could work the oracle. Fellow class-dropper Moveit Like Minnie merits plenty of respect, as does Valadon, who steps up in grade after winning at Plumpton.

The feature can go to class-dropper MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE (nap), who has been very competitive in some strong Ascot handicaps this season.

THUNDER ROCK should have no problem in notching another victory at the expense of his sole rival Fix At All. Olly Murphy's charge has done well since switching to hunter chase company and built on a solid Wincanton second when scoring impressively there last time. Fix At All showed a bit more at Catterick latest when third but is still up against it.

Based on peak form and indeed recent evidence, THUNDER ROCK should comfortably beat his sole rival.

Bernie The Bear has been knocking on the door recently and he appears capable of being in the mix once again. Oldbury Lad didn't get the clearest of runs here on his latest outing and is worth another chance, but the claims of MOLLY MARINE are hard to ignore. She hasn't been beaten far on all three runs in maiden/novice company and an opening mark of 55 looks workable.

This looks tricky but OLDBURY LAD won over C&D on his penultimate run and is a big player if he can recapture that form.

Jeremy Scott often does well at this track and, with that in mind, a chance can be taken on NO PANIC. The son of Nathaniel largely struggled in novice/maiden company but he switches to handicaps on the back of wind surgery and it's quite possible that he will take a big step forward. Future Times has a similar profile and must enter calculations, while Taunton third Jackomy is just one more to consider.

The suggestion is TOBI KANOBEE, who ran well for a long way on his handicap debut and will hopefully be suited by this faster ground.

WATERFORD CASTLE gets a confident vote in this handicap. Deemed good enough for the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot last season second time up, George Boughey's charge was beaten at odds-on on his comeback here but should be able to strike off a mark of 78. Laureate Crown heads the list of dangers from Born A Star, but they've got absences to overcome.

Preference is for WATERFORD CASTLE, who looks on a fair opening mark and is an interesting contender at this new trip.

ROSE COTTON made her seasonal/handicap debut here in January a winning one and she strikes as the type who could improve plenty this year for a shrewd yard. The C&D winner has to concede weight to the field here but is still very much the one to beat. Bella Bisbee is a former course scorer to note, and Samra Star is also interesting.

This can go to the uexposed ROSE COTTON (nap), who kicked off her handicap career with a dominant display over C&D in January.

HARD TO BELIEVE has a penalty in this novice heat for winning at Bath last year but should still take plenty of beating. Andrew Balding's horses have been running well so the 165-day absence isn't too much of a concern, and he could be a three-year-old to follow this season. Room Fourteen is next best of those boasting form, and Clarissa Eclipse is the pick of the newcomers.

This can go to HARD TO BELIEVE, who landed a gamble at Bath in October and is open to more progress upped in trip on his return.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
