|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) ( )Morning Mayhem |
() | (1) Morning Mayhem , Scored by 7 1/2l off an 11lb lower mark at Uttoxeter three starts back; ran to form when third, beaten 3 1/4l off 98 last time and is 1lb higher here. Trainer in form; effective at 2m and acts on heavy and soft; can go well again. Again well backed at Wincanton last time and ran well to be third; 1lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Risk It All |
() | (2) Risk It All , Stopped quickly up in trip and may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield most recently. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft; looking flattered by debut form but still on a fair mark based on penultimate run so strong claims down in trip. Ran okay in juvenile hurdles but hasn't kicked on following a wind operation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Character Testing |
() | (3) Character Testing , Returned to form on his first completed start for the yard when beaten a head off a 3lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m on good to soft and good; still a maiden over hurdles but could build on that revival. Every chance on his second at Market Rasen; soft ground is the grey area. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )L'allier |
() | (4) L'allier , Below form and in need of the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; off a short break. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good; needs to come on plenty for that return. At 16-1, he was struggling a long way out on stable debut at Uttoxeter (soft). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Alvesta |
() | (5) Alvesta , Poor run when well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest. Effective over 10-12f; a maiden who is looking exposed in both codes but does like the track. 0-28; tailed off here in December and that's flanked by heavy defeats on the AW. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Noble Miss |
() | (6) Noble Miss , Never threatened after a series of errors when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; off a short break. A 2m bumper winner on good; looks in need of more hurdling experience and must settle and jump better. Won a bumper for Rae Guest but has no form claims on what she's achieved over hurdles. |

MORNING MAYHEM was a beaten favourite at Wincanton latest but can reward those who keep the faith, as he seems to have less on his plate and an impressive Uttoxeter victory in December remains fresh in the memory. He goes well on deep ground and gets the nod ahead of Character Testing, who performed well for second at Market Rasen. Risk It All is next best.

Character Testing is feared but ground this soft will be a first, so the most likely winner is an in-form MORNING MAYHEM.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) ( )Kaka's Cousin |
() | (1) Kaka's Cousin , Confirmed his hurdles debut level when second, beaten 15l, in a novice hurdle at Wetherby last time, bumping into a smart rival dropped in trip. Effective over 2m-2m3f on soft and good; ideally wants further but has a good chance. Won at Catterick then no match for 1-7 winner when second at Wetherby; still respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Kocktail Bleu |
() | (2) Kocktail Bleu , Returned to form down in trip, pulling clear with the winner when second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a novice hurdle at Kempton last time. Effective over 2m-2m1f; didn't convince with stamina for further. In good form and has leading claims. The form of his Kempton second reads well and he holds leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )They Want Me |
() | (3) They Want Me , Improved for his debut experience when winning a maiden hurdle here by 1 1/2l last time. Effective over 2m on soft and good to soft; debut form franked at top level and there is probably more to come. Bumped into Idaho Sun on hurdle debut then won over C&D; could have a big part to play. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )All One Word |
() | (4) All One Word , Made a modest hurdles debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective at 3m in points and that form has been franked under rules, but he may need further than this. Third in a point-to-point in 2023; first run since when tailed off at Uttoxeter last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Au Plaisir |
() | (5) Au Plaisir , Green on a modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time. Showed promise in Irish bumpers but needs more to figure over hurdles. Definite promise in two Irish bumpers but nothing like so good in two runs for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Big Jon |
() | (6) Big Jon , Never in the race on a poor debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle last time. Usually held up and looks one for further down the line. No impact in either bumper and tailed off at 150-1 on last month's hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Ellistrin Bay |
() | (7) Ellistrin Bay , Another poor run when tried in blinkers and pulled up in a maiden hurdle here last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; hard to make a case for. Pulled up at triple-figure odds on all three starts over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )King Kodiak |
() | (8) King Kodiak , Green and jumped poorly when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Catterick last time. Likely to want 2m4f+ over hurdles and looks up against it. Tailed off/pulled up over hurdles on his last two starts; cheekpieces go on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Melbourne Ghost |
() | (9) Melbourne Ghost , Made a moderate debut when well beaten in a bumper at Ayr on his only start. Up against it now hurdling and may need more time. Tailed off at 10-1 in his sole bumper and he's hard to fancy on this first hurdle start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Nosy Neighbour |
() | (11) Nosy Neighbour , Given an educational debut when third, beaten 19l, in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time. Stays 2m and will probably get further; plenty to come. 19l third on hurdle debut at Southwell; pedigree suggests he'll come into own over further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Ratemenow |
() | (12) Ratemenow , Made mistakes but improved for debut experience when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Catterick last time. Effective over 2m and likely to need more time over hurdles. He's displayed some ability but not enough to suggest he'll be posing a threat today. |

Having returned to form when runner-up to a progressive rival at Kempton last month, KOCKTAIL BLEU ticks plenty of the right boxes. The pair drew 15 lengths clear of the third and a similar performance from the six-year-old might prove sufficient. They Want Me scored a shade cosily over C&D in December and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of fellow penalised runner Kaka's Cousin.

Top of the list is KOCKTAIL BLEU, who showed strong form when runner-up at Kempton last month. They Want Me is second choice.

(1) ( )Bossman Jack |
() | (1) Bossman Jack , Improved from debut when beating a useful yardstick to win a novice hurdle at Ffos Las by 2l last time. Effective at 2m on S and GS; promising sort for a top yard who should get further and can defy his penalty. Beat useful rival at Ffos Las last month (front pair well clear); the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Colby Mayfield |
() | (2) Colby Mayfield , Outclassed and well beaten in a novice hurdle at Newbury last time; needs a drop in grade to be competitive and looks one for handicaps. Well beaten on first two hurdling starts; can't be recommended. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Donald Jump |
() | (3) Donald Jump , Ran to form when fourth, beaten 12l, in a bumper at Bangor-on-Dee last time. Effective at 2m on G; showed promise in bumpers and there could be more to come over hurdles. Close third on bumper debut last June but the form has not worked out well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Emerald Breeze |
() | (5) Emerald Breeze , A bit free but improved from debut and was just out-battled late by a strong stayer when second, beaten 3/4l, in a novice hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m on Hy and G; more to come over hurdles and looks the main danger. Close second on heavy ground at Ffos Las last month; can improve if/when he settles better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Francky Blue |
() | (6) Francky Blue , The yard won this last year; outpaced but rallied for a promising debut when fourth, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective at 2m on Hy; may need further than 2m in time. Made quite promising hurdle debut last month and has each-way claims here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Holeheartedly |
() | (7) Holeheartedly , Every chance and ran well for a long way on debut before finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield last time. More to come over hurdles for a top yard. Did not get competitive on hurdle debut; stable has much better chance with Bossman Jack. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )I'm Wide Awake |
() | (8) I'm Wide Awake , A bit too free and tired late but ran to form when 11l third in a bumper at Exeter last time. Trainer in form; effective at 2m on S and GS; consistent in bumpers and should remain competitive switched to hurdling. Placed in all three bumpers; has useful standard to reach on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )One For Rian |
() | (10) One For Rian , Outpaced on a poor debut and well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fontwell last time. Returning from a break and likely to need further than 2m in time. Second on Irish point debut but well held after racing too freely on rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Passage Du Maure |
() | (11) Passage Du Maure , Modest bumper debut when well beaten in a bumper at Ffos Las on his only start. Returning from a long layoff; plenty more needed to figure over hurdles. Safely held in Ffos Las bumper last spring and not seen since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )Roi Du Roume |
() | (12) Roi Du Roume , Poor debut under rules when well beaten in a novice hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 3m in points and may need more time. Irish point winner; fourth in a bumper on rules debut but struggled on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) ( )Stone Cold |
() | (13) Stone Cold , May have found the ground too testing when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time. Effective on G and may need further than 2m over hurdles. Soundly beaten at 100-1 in two hurdles for new stable this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) ( )Wings Of Arion |
() | (14) Wings Of Arion , Moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las on his only start; may need more time. Tailed off when 100-1 for debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) ( )Roberta Bishop |
() | (16) Roberta Bishop , Outclassed on debut when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Usually held up; all to prove. Tailed off when 300-1 for hurdle debut at Warwick (2m3f) three weeks ago. |

BOSSMAN JACK was third behind a couple of promising types in a maiden at Warwick before getting off the mark over hurdles in a similar event at Ffos Las most recently. This progressive half-brother to the smart Gidleigh Park could be well placed to cope with a penalty. Emerald Breeze is the pick of the rest with hurdles experience, while I'm Wide Awake and Donald Jump can figure if building on their promising bumper form.

The most obvious answer is BOSSMAN JACK, who ran to a useful level when winning at Ffos Las last month.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) ( )Animal |
() | (1) Animal , Better effort off a reduced mark when beaten 6l into third in a handicap chase at Fontwell most recent run, benefiting from a pace collapse. Usually held up. Effective at 3m-3m5f and acts on soft and good. Fair mark if building on latest and wants a stiff test. On a career-low mark and three of his runs this season have been very respectable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Edgewell |
() | (5) Edgewell , Travelled better than recently when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Taunton last time. Trainer in form. Effective around 3m and acts on soft and good. Unreliable but a thorough stayer who is well treated on Irish form. Big chance if jumping holds up. Beaten about 15l in his last two runs at Taunton and can look a hard ride at times. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Brother Boris |
() | (6) Brother Boris , Made too much use of when beaten 8l into third in a handicap chase here most recent run. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good. Inconsistent maiden. Third over 2m5f here on reappearance but he has a lot further to go this afternoon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Miss Fedora |
() | (7) Miss Fedora , Hinted at revival when fourth beaten 9l in a handicap chase here latest. Effective at 2m1f and acts on soft and good. Unreliable and needs to build on that latest effort. Inconsistent and unraced beyond 2m5f; stamina doubts are too glaring to ignore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Spotty Dog |
() | (8) Spotty Dog , Taken on up front and made too much use of, lit up by first-time blinkers, when fourth beaten 22l in a handicap chase at Windsor latest. Effective at 3m+ and needs decent ground. Out of form this term. A remote third in this 12 months ago and nowhere near his best this campaign. |

Course scorer Animal is very much respected in here on the back of his Fontwell third, but the verdict goes to BROTHER BORIS. He shaped as though stepping up in trip would suit when finishing a staying-on third over 2m5f here last month and this could be the time to catch him. It's also worth keeping a close eye on Edgewell.

A few of these will be into unknown territory a long way from home but not ANIMAL (nap) who hasn't been running at all badly.

(2) ( )Kent De Thaix |
() | (2) Kent De Thaix , May not have stayed up in trip and was probably outclassed when pulled up in the Grade 2 River Don Novices' Hurdle at Doncaster latest. Effective from 2m3f to 2m6f and this mark looks fair on handicap debut. Carlisle maiden winner; pulled up in Grade 2 since; this handicap debut is more realistic. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Judicial Deference |
() | (3) Judicial Deference , Travelled, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Haydock last time; effective at 2m3f-2m5f, acts on S and GS; progressive and can go well again. Won in big field at Haydock on handicap debut and a 7lb rise may not stop him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Noonetellsmenothin |
() | (4) Noonetellsmenothin , Ran to form under a penalty when beaten 18l into third in a novice hurdle at Catterick most recently. Effective at 2m4f and bumper form has been franked, with more to come now handicapping over hurdles. Won on hurdle debut at Catterick; held there since but his opening mark could be workable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Wolfspear |
() | (5) Wolfspear , Raced wide and stopped quickly when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Ayr most recently. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and generally consistent, so could bounce back. A couple of fair runs since joining this yard but tailed off at Ayr a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )El Jefe |
() | (6) El Jefe , Built on a recent revival but was outstayed late up in trip, having looked the winner, when beaten 6 1/2l into third in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Usually held up, effective from 2m to 2m5f and on a fair mark if building on that run. Some good form this winter and he has an each-way shout if seeing out the trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Milan Park |
() | (7) Milan Park , Up in trip, may not have stayed on easy ground when fourth beaten 37l in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster latest; effective at 2m4f-3m, acts on S and G; drop in trip may suit. Encouraging handicap debut (2m3f) then weakened over 3m; this in-between trip could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Another High Five |
() | (8) Another High Five , Improved on his final qualifying run but looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 12l into third in a maiden hurdle here most recently. Effective around 2m and likely to improve now handicapping up in trip. 3m point runner-up who could relish the step up in trip on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Grand Voyage |
() | (10) Grand Voyage , Returned to form up in trip when beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Ayr last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and although better over fences, he is on a fair mark but can be tricky to win with. Returned to form when third at Ayr recently; could be in the mix if backing that up. |

Judicial Deference is sure to prove popular given his winning handicap bow in a 17-runner affair at Haydock last month and a 7lb higher mark is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, it could be worth chancing the up-in-distance NOONETELLSMENOTHIN, who shaped better than the beaten distance when third at Catterick three weeks ago and an official mark of 108 looks workable. Kent De Thaix is also respected having found Grade 2 company too hot to handle last time.

Having dispatched a big field at Haydock last month, JUDICIAL DEFERENCE (nap) can defy a 7lb rise and make it 2-2 in handicaps.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(1) ( )Aqua Bleu |
() | (1) Aqua Bleu , Quickened clear readily and improved to defy a penalty when winning a juvenile hurdle at Lingfield by 4 1/2l last time. Off a short break, effective at 2m and acts on good to soft and good ground. Progressing over hurdles and looks a huge player despite big weight. Easy winner at Doncaster and Lingfield in six-runner races over about 2m on good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Merci Mam |
() | (2) Merci Mam , Very promising 1 1/4l winner of a juvenile hurdle at Lyon Parilly on debut. That looks good form. Returning from a break, effective at 2m1f and acts on heavy ground. A French winner with more to come for a top yard. Well related; tidy winner on French debut (2m1f, heavy); 520,000euros buy; Triumph entry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Dream's Ka |
() | (3) Dream's Ka , Green and stumbled on the bend when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Warwick last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good to soft ground. Should improve a little with experience. Showed some ability both starts but he looks clearly the stable second string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Maestro Du Mesnil |
() | (4) Maestro Du Mesnil , Promising debut when beaten 10l into fourth in a juvenile hurdle at Hereford first time out. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and returns from a break. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground but must improve to challenge. Fourth of six at Hereford, 9l behind fellow newcomer Aqua Bleu; now gelded and tongue tied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Mwabani |
() | (5) Mwabani , Green early but finished well on a promising debut when runner-up, beaten 2 1/2l, in a juvenile hurdle at Exeter on his only start. Off a short break, effective at 2m and acts on good to soft. Debut form franked in a Grade 2 and should improve significantly so a big threat. Looked good prospect at Exeter; a question though whether it's of the longer-term variety. |

MERCI MAM won his sole start in France before changing hands for 520,000 euros at the Arqana sales in November. With expectations likely to be high, this half-brother to the smart Instit is hard to ignore debuting for Dan Skelton at this level. Aqua Bleu didn't beat much in either of his hurdle wins at Doncaster and Lingfield, but he did it impressively and must also be taken seriously. Mwabani is the clear pick of the rest.

Dan Skelton's new, ex-French recruit MERCI MAM was bought for 520,000euros. Mwabani and Aqua Bleu are the dangers.

(1) ( )No Cure |
() | (1) No Cure , Bit free and made mistakes before improving to win a maiden hurdle at Limerick by 4l last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and acts on heavy, but the form of that Irish win looks weak and he needs more to defy a penalty. Joined this yard after winning a Limerick 2m3f maiden with authority in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Swingin Safari |
() | (2) Swingin Safari , Outpaced and below form when 18l third in a novice hurdle at Kempton on his most recent run. Effective over 2m and acts on good to soft, while the form looks solid and he is likely to get further in time. Well held when penalised at Kempton but the winner is above average; bred for this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )The Boss Bear |
() | (3) The Boss Bear , Made a promising debut when beating a more experienced rival to win a maiden hurdle at Plumpton by 3 1/2l last time. Returns from a short break, is effective over 2m-2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good, with more to come over hurdles. Bumper winner on good and comfortably won a 2m4f Plumpton maiden on good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Ionian |
() | (4) Ionian , Improved when allowed an easy lead in a first-time hood on testing ground, finishing second beaten 2l in a novice hurdle at Sandown latest. Trainer in form, effective over 2m and acts on heavy, and he should find a maiden. The hood made a difference when second to a talented opponent at Sandown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Jury's In |
() | (5) Jury's In , Improved from his debut under a positive ride when 14l third in a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las on his most recent run. Effective over 2m4f on soft, he is in form and has shown enough to win a maiden, and the yard does well here. Irish point winner who has run well in both his maiden hurdles; doesn't have a lot to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Porridge |
() | (6) Porridge , Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Ludlow on her latest start and now wears blinkers for the first time. Effective over 2m4f-2m7f on heavy and soft, but she remains well below a winning level. Exposed as a poor handicapper and instantly opposable in a race like this; tries blinkers. |

A competitive novices' hurdle for punters to solve and only a tentative vote goes the way of SWINGIN SAFARI. He didn't show his best at Kempton but is taken to bounce back judged on the strength of his Wincanton form, not to mention last season's strong bumper performances. Plumpton maiden hurdle winner The Boss Bear looks quite useful and joins Limerick scorer No Cure and improved Sandown runner-up Ionian on the shortlist.

Porridge won't be winning but the other five have chances. IONIAN took a notable step forward when hooded at Sandown.

(1) ( )Bertie's Ballet |
() | (1) Bertie's Ballet , Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time; had been in good form prior. Effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on heavy and good to soft; in good form until latest and should come on for that. May have needed last month's comeback run; on a competitive mark and testing ground suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Ginger Mail |
() | (2) Ginger Mail , Travelled well but did not find much when 10l third in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster on his most recent run, running to form. Effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good to soft, and is below his last win mark. 10yo; not at this best this year but he's down to a dangerous mark and is not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Chase A Fortune |
() | (3) Chase A Fortune , Ran to form when second beaten 2l off 115 last time, 1lb higher here; enjoys making it; effective up to 2m1f, acts on any; in form but mark creeping up. In good form since these cheekpieces were applied and he holds very solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Highly Recommended |
() | (4) Highly Recommended , Held when falling in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time and was off a long absence. Usually held up, effective at 2m-2m5f on a sound surface, and a drop in trip may suit. Lightly raced 7yo who returns from long absence; there's a suspicion he's best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Admiralty House |
() | (5) Admiralty House , Too keen and did not find as much as looked likely when beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Has since undergone a wind operation; effective at 2m, acts on heavy and good, and his form is in and out. Took step back in right direction at Musselburgh and wind op since; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Liberty Coach |
() | (6) Liberty Coach , Ran green when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Doncaster last time. Enjoys making it, is effective at 2m over hurdles and acts on soft; useful on the Flat and could progress in handicaps over hurdles. Has potential off opening jumps mark in view of his useful Flat form; cheekpieces a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Triple Crown Ted |
() | (7) Triple Crown Ted , Improved again when fourth beaten 11l in a novice hurdle at Ayr latest; effective 2m, acts on Hy and G; form of novice win had knocks but progressing. C&D novice winner who is unexposed and could be on a workable mark on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Heart Above |
() | (8) Heart Above , Ran to form when fourth, beaten 9l, in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Effective at 2m-2m5f and acts on good to soft and good; consistent, but the handicapper may have him and deep ground is a worry. Two wins here in the autumn but the forecast testing ground is a concern. |

(9) ( )Lance Les Des |
() | (9) Lance Les Des , Ran to form 6l third in a maiden hurdle here most recent run; effective at 2m, acts on Hy and GS; more to come now handicapping. Third in C&D novices on last two starts and could give a good account on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Travis Wheatley |
() | (10) Travis Wheatley , Stopped quickly after errors when pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Trainer in form and off a short break; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good, and is on a fair mark on maiden form but his jumping must improve. Pulled up at Musselburgh last time but over 3m; not written off now back down in trip. |

CHASE A FORTUNE has posted two creditable runner-up efforts since landing the spoils at Wetherby in December and this could prove a suitable opportunity to get back on the scoresheet. Chris Grant's inmate is only 1lb higher than his latest second at Sedgefield and he gets the nod ahead of Bertie's Ballet. The Albaasil gelding is entitled to build on last month's return at Haydock, with this drop in grade expected to suit. Handicap-debutant Triple Crown Ted could also feature.

Handicap newcomer LIBERTY COACH wears cheekpieces for the first time over hurdles, and his four Flat wins came in such headgear.

(1) ( )The Four Sixes |
() | (1) The Four Sixes , Went clear with ease and outclassed rivals when winning a novice chase at Kelso by 16l last time, having dropped in grade. Enjoys making it and is effective at around 2m-2m4f on soft and good ground; progressing over fences now his jumping has improved and fair mark judged on hurdles form. Useful hurdler; gained both chase wins in tiny-field novice events; tricky to weigh up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Gamesters Guy |
() | (2) Gamesters Guy , Keen and his jumping went to pieces late when comfortably held and eased in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m, consistent overall, and may do better if brushing up on his jumping. Didn't run badly when last of five at Windsor last month and enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Juby Ball |
() | (3) Juby Ball , Improved back down in trip when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in a novice chase here last time. Would've won over 2 1/2m but for falling previoulsy. Effective over 2m on soft ground and there may be a bit more to come over fences off what looks a generous mark. 2-2 over hurdles; has made promising start to chasing career and is on a good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Willmount |
() | (4) Willmount , Made a bit too much use of up in trip and did not get home when third, beaten 16l, in a handicap chase here on his most recent run. Trainer in form and off a short break; effective around 2m on good to soft and good, and can do better if ridden more conservatively. Positives can be drawn from both chase runs and this drop back in trip ought to suit. |

Juby Ball bounced back from a fall at Ffos Las with a good second in a novices' event over 2m here last month. Stepping back up in trip should suit and he is a threat to all. Nevertheless, preference is for THE FOUR SIXES, who was a wide-margin winner at Kelso just after Christmas. The Olly Murphy-trained gelding sets a good standard and can cope with top weight in this company. Gamesters Guy can master Willmount for third.

Promising 7yo JUBY BALL was not discredited when second here last month and could be a very tough nut to crack over this longer trip.

(1) ( )Kalista Love |
() | (1) Kalista Love , Scored by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Warwick three starts ago. Ran to form when third, beaten 9 1/2l off 107, just flattening out late over a longer trip last time; 1lb lower here and effective at 2 1/2m so holds every chance down in class. 3m1f perhaps too far last time and had previously made a good start over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Moviddy |
() | (2) Moviddy , Returned to form back over fences when beaten 3l off this mark here last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and acts on good ground; on a good mark if building on that latest effort. Weighted to reverse last-time C&D placings with Belle Montrose; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Jacks Touch |
() | (3) Jacks Touch , Had every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time. Tongue-tie applied for the first time; effective around 2 1/2m and needs to prove ability remains after a long lay-off. Struggled since returning from a break and was well behind two of these last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Belle Montrose |
() | (4) Belle Montrose , Returned to form when landing the Queen Boudicca Series Final by 1 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2m; inconsistent but has a good record at this course. Appreciated this longer trip when winning here a month ago despite being 6lb wrong. |

BELLE MONTROSE sprang a big shock to win at 40/1 over this C&D last month, which could in part be attributed to a step up in trip. Sam Drinkwater's mare is completely unexposed at this distance, so a 4lb rise is unlikely to halt further progress and she's preferred to the reopposing Moviddy (third). Jacks Touch was well held in fifth that day too, meaning Kalista Love ought to be a bigger threat.

Moviddy may reverse recent course placings with Belle Montrose on these 4lb better terms but KALISTA LOVE is preferred.

(1) ( )Elvis Mail |
() | (1) Elvis Mail , Made mistakes and was never competitive in a race dominated from the front when 21l third in a handicap chase at Haydock most recently. Off a short break; effective from 2m4f-3m2f, acts with cut; mark is easing and can go well. 12yo who is a six-time winner at Kelso and could have a part to play now back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Bill Baxter |
() | (2) Bill Baxter , Outpaced and unable to go the gallop, probably wanting a stiffer test when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Effective from 2m4f-3m2f on heavy and good to soft; a bounce back is needed. Below par latest but wind op since & ran well in competitive Becher at Aintree previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Maximilian |
() | (3) Maximilian , Jumped abysmally and did plenty early when second, beaten 22l, in a novice chase at Ayr latest. Effective from 2m6f-3m on soft and good; formerly a classy hurdler, with cheekpieces now removed. Runner-up in three beginners'/novice chases; could be a contender now tackling a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Empire Steel |
() | (4) Empire Steel , Ran well for a long way, just tiring late back from layoff when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Musselburgh latest; effective 2m4f-3m2f, acts on S and G; well treated on old form, should come on for latest. Encouraging return from absence at Musselburgh recently and he's four from six here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Dare To Shout |
() | (5) Dare To Shout , Never travelled and was pulled up in the Rehearsal Handicap Chase at Newcastle latest. Off a short break; effective from 2m4f-3m1f on soft and good to soft; could bounce back. Pulled up when last seen but on last winning mark; could get back on track following break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )King Of Answers |
() | (6) King Of Answers , Scored by 1 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark here on his penultimate start; ran a bit flat but stayed on late when fourth at Windsor latest. Effective from 2m4f-3m on soft and good; cheekpieces now tried and surely more to come over fences, possibly over marathon trips. Won over C&D in December; late headway at Windsor last time; the cheekpieces could help. |

MAXIMILIAN goes handicapping for the first time over fences and ought to make his presence felt as a previous Grade 2 winner over hurdles, and Grade 1 Sefton runner-up. Bill Baxter is a previous course scorer who won at last year's Punchestown Festival in Listed company, so is another to take seriously. King Of Answers and Dare To Shout can also get involved.

Cheekpieces could be a positive for lightly raced C&D winner King Of Answers but preference is for course specialist EMPIRE STEEL.

(1) ( )Holly Hartingo |
() | (1) Holly Hartingo , Built on a recent return to form under an aggressive ride when beaten a head off a 5lb lower mark at Kempton last time. Effective over 2 1/2m-3m and in fine form, she looks very well treated on old efforts so holds every chance. Getting high in the weights but she's in top form and another bold show seems likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Love Of Neymore |
() | (2) Love Of Neymore , Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark here three starts back. Made a bad error at a key stage but rallied and ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l off 119 last time off the same mark; effective at 2m4f and acts on soft and good. Should remain competitive. C&D winner on good to soft in December and has held her own in Class 2s since then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Jalisco Star |
() | (3) Jalisco Star , Scored by 9 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Uttoxeter three starts back. Forced to switch and improved again when second, beaten 3l off 115 last time and 1lb higher here; effective over 3m, further the better, and acts on any ground. Up a grade off a career-high mark but hard to fault her recent efforts; assured stayer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Princess Keri |
() | (4) Princess Keri , Did it cosily and, although she did not beat much, improved down in class and was suited by a positive ride at a sharp track when landing a handicap by 17l off a 14lb lower mark at Hereford last time. Enjoys making it and is effective over 2m-2m5f on good to soft and good but plenty more needed off this mark. On a roll but went up 14lb for winning an uncompetitive race at Hereford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Getaway Theatre |
() | (5) Getaway Theatre , Won this race last year. Made too much use of when beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time; blinkers are applied for the first time, she is effective over 2m4f-3m1f and suited by plenty of cut, and still looks on a fair mark. Top jockey booked and should go well. Last year's winner; every chance should the change of headgear have a positive effect. |

Holly Hartingo has gone close on her last three outings and could be hard to keep out of the frame, while Princess Keri arrives in fine form having won three of her last four starts. However, the latter has a 14lb hike in the ratings to contend with, so the vote goes to GETAWAY THEATRE. Stuart Edmund's mare is only 1lb higher than when winning last year's renewal and another bold bid is anticipated with Sean Bowen taking over the reins.

This is trappy but preference is for LOVE OF NEYMORE, a C&D winner who has held her own in stronger races on her last two starts.

(1) ( )Frere D'armes |
() | (1) Frere D'armes , Unseated in a hunter chase at Ludlow last time; effective over 2-2 1/2m and wants a sound surface. Inconsistent nowadays but not dismissed down in class though slight stamina concerns. He was in better form when runner-up in this last year having won his previous race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Fix At All |
() | (2) Fix At All , Pulled up in a hunter chase at Cheltenham last time and is returning from a long layoff. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good; his form tailed off last year. Looked a shadow of his former self in three hunter chases last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Major Dundee |
() | (3) Major Dundee , Modest effort when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in the Ladies Conditions Point at Charing last time; off a short break. Effective over 3m and acts on soft and good; former Midlands National winner could be a threat down in class. Lost his way for Alan King and a beaten favourite in his two recent points. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Stattler |
() | (4) Stattler , Travelled well, went clear and was caught late as fitness gave way, a solid effort when second, beaten 3/4l, in a hunter chase at Hereford last time. Effective from 2m4f-3m6f, acts on soft and good; was classy and is unexposed in hunter chases. The one to beat. Classy customer at his peak; just missed out at Hereford after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Hollywood Harmon |
() | (5) Hollywood Harmon , Improved for a comfortable 17l victory in a hunter chase at Cartmel last time and is returning from a long layoff. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and acts on good to soft and good; unexposed under rules, with more to come judged on point wins. It was a maiden hunter chase she won at Cartmel last May; looks outclassed here. |

The classy STATTLER was only reeled in late on when returning from a lengthy absence at Hereford last month but with that run under his belt, he is expected to go one better. Major Dundee has been running with credit between the flags of late and although more will be required, he is still the main danger. This is deeper than the contest Hollywood Harmon won at Cartmel in May of last year but she's most appealing of the remainder.

The worry for STATTLER is that after being absent for 653 days he now has two runs in 18, but he's still the safest option.

Effective over 2m3f-3m and remains fairly treated on hurdles form, improving over fences. Ran well when second of five at Windsor on third chase start and he's one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Milcree |
() | (2) Milcree , Returned from a lengthy absence to easily land a handicap by 4 1/4l off an 8lb lower mark at Ayr last time. Effective over 2m-2m5f and likely to have much more to come over fences; a good chance provided he doesn't bounce. Won in good style on chase debut at Ayr following long absence; could have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )Young Jack |
() | (3) Young Jack , Just failed having conceded first run and improved for the step up in trip, jumping much better when beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time and he is progressing over fences. Runner-up on two of his three chase starts; key player if he's on a going day. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )I Am Max |
() | (4) I Am Max , Ran to form but never threatened when beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Wetherby last time. Effective over 2m4f-3m and now back on his last winning mark, although he has proved unreliable. Won at Hexham in October but mixed form since and others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Joecooker |
() | (5) Joecooker , Hampered as the race developed and flattened out afterwards when beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Newcastle last time. Effective at 2m4f and generally consistent in his performances. Twice placed in December; hampered when fifth of seven last time; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Moon Phases |
() | (6) Moon Phases , Jumped well and held on, possibly idling, when landing a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and progressing over fences. Won at Newcastle on second chase start and is in good hands to continue to progress. |

Providing MILCREE doesn't bounce after making his first run for almost two years at Ayr last month a successful one, then Nicky Richards' charge could kick on and make up for lost time. He was really impressive on his chase bow and could have a lot more to offer. Queensbury Boy's second to Guard The Moon at Windsor reads well in the context of this race and he's noted along with Moon Phases.

The 8yo MILCREE returned from a long absence to win in good style on his chase debut at Ayr in January and can make it 2-2 over fences.

Effective from 2m4f-3m5f, acts on any; back in form and thrown in on old Irish form so holds a chance dropped in grade. Veteran who has twice made all at Fakenham this season; still well treated on old form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) ( )Lilting Verse |
() | (2) Lilting Verse , Outpaced and never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Doncaster last time; had been in good form prior. Returns from a short break, is effective at 3m and acts on soft and good to soft; in fair form until her latest run. Ran well on seasonal debut but well held since and may prefer better ground than this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Effective from 2m6f-3m2f, suited by plenty of cut and acts on good; erratic but has a good Leicester record. In good form and finished runner-up at Leicester yesterday, but he had a tough race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Latenightrumble |
() | (4) Latenightrumble , Ran to current form when well beaten in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Effective at 3m and suited by cut, but his form has tailed off this year and he needs to show more to be competitive. Will appreciate this ease in grade but is yet to strike form after three runs this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Eaton Anne |
() | (5) Eaton Anne , Made mistakes, never travelled and may not have stayed when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time. Returns from a short break, is effective over 2 1/2m and acts with cut, but has stamina to prove switched to chasing. 2-10 over hurdles; unexposed at around 3m; interesting on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) ( )Jasmin De Cotte |
() | (6) Jasmin De Cotte , Needed the run on stable debut after a wind operation when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Haydock most recently. This is his second run after the wind op; effective from 2 1/2-3m and suited by decent ground, but inconsistent though well treated on old Irish form. Made low-key stable debut over hurdles and gained his only Irish win on good ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) ( )Idefix De Ciergues |
() | (7) Idefix De Ciergues , Travelled well and possibly challenged a bit early when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Returns from a short break, is effective from 2m4f-3m and acts on any; consistent but needs more to win. C&D winner who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts this season; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) ( )Hurricane Highway |
() | (8) Hurricane Highway , Outpaced and below form back down in trip when second beaten 24l in a handicap chase at Hereford last time. Effective around 2m4f with plenty of cut, but currently out of form and needs to rediscover his best. On dangerous mark and suited by slow ground but it's a good while since he ran to form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) ( )Astronomic View |
() | (9) Astronomic View , Ran to form under an aggressive ride down in class when beaten 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Ffos Las last time. Trainer in form; effective from 2m4f-3m6f with cut and on a fair mark based on hurdles efforts, back in form. 0-6 over fences but went down fighting off much reduced mark at Ffos Las a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) ( )Carrigeen Castle |
() | (10) Carrigeen Castle , Travelled well but made a bad error at a key stage when closing, then flattened out and may not have stayed when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap chase at Catterick last time. Effective up to 2m4f and acts on soft; on his last winning mark but has stamina to prove. Shade disappointing last time but ran well before last-fence fall at Wetherby in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) ( )Not Sure |
() | (11) Not Sure , Pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective up to 3m and acts on soft and good; had been running into form until his latest run and could bounce back down in class. Has conditions to suit here but ran poorly last month, after a layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) ( )The Big Reveal |
() | (12) The Big Reveal , The yard won this race last year; fell in a handicap chase here last time when in contention and looking likeliest winner. Effective around 3m and acts on any; generally consistent and could make amends for his latest run up 6lb. In clear lead before penultimate-fence fall over C&D last month; up 6lb. |

IDEFIX DE CIERGUES wasn't disgraced when fourth in a more competitive handicap hurdle in December and Rebecca Curtis' charge looks worthy of another chance back over fences. Astronomic View bounced back with a close second at Ffos Las a fortnight ago and is not out of this, while Enjoy D'allen could also make his presence felt back in this lower grade.

Northern raider CARRIGEEN CASTLE ran well behind a big improver before his last-fence fall at Wetherby in November and gets the vote.

Suited by 3m, a bit quirky but open to improvement at staying trips. Has soon raised his game since upped in trip and could continue his progress. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) ( )De Deli Counter |
() | (3) De Deli Counter , Improved when allowed an easy lead and jumping much better, beaten 3/4l off this mark at Market Rasen last time where beaten by progressive rival. Effective at 2 1/2m and needs to build on that latest improvement. Could be tough to peg back at sharp track up in trip. Up in trip but 6lb higher in future after his clear second at Market Rasen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) ( )Path Of Stars |
() | (4) Path Of Stars , Ran to form when an 8l third in a handicap hurdle here on her most recent run. Effective over 2m-2m4f and a generally consistent maiden. Maiden who has made the frame in handicap, from 2m to 2m5f; stamina queries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) ( )Junior Des Mottes |
() | (5) Junior Des Mottes , Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las on his latest start. Form in and out. Trainer in form but he has plenty to prove. Ground was heavy on stable debut; better expected with cheekpieces back on. |

Apieceovfortune has to be respected following her C&D victory last month, which was her second win in three starts, but preference is for DE DELI COUNTER. Mark Walford's gelding pulled 15 lengths clear of the third when a narrow second at Market Rasen earlier in the month. He is 6lb well in on this occasion and the five-year-old must be respected with that in mind. Castanea Breeze is the pick of the remainder.

De Deli Counter is 6lb higher in future but he's unproven over this far, which is not a concern with CASTANEA BREEZE.

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.

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.
