1st (7) (11/8 +50%)The Procrastinator |
11/8(+50%) | (7) The Procrastinator 11/8, Ran to debut level beaten 6l in a Mares' bumper at Ludlow last time; effective 2m, acts on S; brings some potential to hurdles. Won on bumper debut (soft) in November; has the pedigree to make a hurdler; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +11%)Annie's Angel |
4/1(+11%) | (1) Annie's Angel 4/1, Some promise on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective 2m on Hy; should improve. Heavy-ground Flat winner who showed promise on stable/hurdles debut; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (50/1 -79%)Isabella Islay |
50/1(-79%) | (4) Isabella Islay 50/1, Green and made mistakes on her only start when well beaten in a Mares' hurdle at Ludlow. Back from a short break and likely to need more time before becoming effective in handicaps. Ran green and early stumble when out the back (tongue tied; 50-1) on her hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (22/1 0%)Upton's Mighty Oak |
22/1(0%) | (8) Upton's Mighty Oak 22/1, Made a poor debut when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Taunton most recent. Effective at 2m and looks a type who may do better when switched to handicaps. Beat one home on her hurdling debut last month; others hold greater appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (22/1 -22%)Mya Du Clos |
22/1(-22%) | (5) Mya Du Clos 22/1, Showed greenness and made mistakes when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Newbury last time. Wears a hood for the first time and looks likely to need more time and handicaps. Small step up on second hurdling start; probably capable of better; hood added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 0%)Athena's Dream |
12/1(0%) | (2) Athena's Dream 12/1, Was a no-show from off the pace when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton latest. Needs at least 2m and is a type who may do better once sent handicapping. Fair hurdles debut but went backwards next time; should be happier back in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (80/1 -264%)Prettylady |
80/1(-264%) | (6) Prettylady 80/1, Made a poor debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Catterick last time. Tries a tongue-tie for the first time and, having shown promise on the Flat in France, may do better handicapping. 80-1 and well adrift (soft) on her hurdles debut 12 days ago; tongue-tie goes on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (11/8 -25%)Whitletts |
11/8(-25%) | (9) Whitletts 11/8, Ran to form when second, beaten 10l, in a Mares' hurdle at Ludlow latest, wearing a hood. Returns from a short break, is effective at 2m, and holds a good chance for a leading yard. 3rd on November's hurdles debut and stepped up when 2nd next time; sets the standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (150/1 -436%)Cantalice |
150/1(-436%) | (3) Cantalice 150/1, Made a poor debut when fourth, beaten 51l, in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time. Returns from a short break and looks likely to need more time before showing her best. Beaten 50l on hurdles/stable debut (soft) in November; blinkers (tried on Flat) go back on. |

Bumper winner The Procrastinator needs to be considered on her hurdling debut, but the one that appeals most is WHITLETTS. Dan Skelton's charge only found an odds-on shot too good at Ludlow in December and she could have plenty of improvement in her. The booking of James Bowen on Annie's Angel makes her of interest and she completes the shortlist.

Whitletts sets the standard but it's not an insurmountable one and Irish Flat winner ANNIE'S ANGEL is selected to improve past her.

1st (8) (14/1 -155%)Faustyna |
14/1(-155%) | (8) Faustyna 14/1, Kodi Bear filly who is a half-sister to I Bid You Ajou, useful at 6f. Has a wide draw but top yard can get debut winners in both codes. Worth following in the betting. Kodi Bear filly; half-sister to four winners; dam French 7.5f AW winner; check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +67%)Jazzit |
4/1(+67%) | (1) Jazzit 4/1, Was a bit too free but ran to form when fourth, beaten 3 1/4l, in a handicap at Southwell last time. Returns after a short break, is effective at 6f, and needs to find more. Finished third in a Southwell m'den and ran well for a long way in a h'cap there last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (40/1 -122%)Oxford Circus |
40/1(-122%) | (2) Oxford Circus 40/1, Mehmas gelding whose dam was unraced. Yard in decent form and does well here but looks an unlikely winner on debut. Mehmas gelding makes his belated debut having been purchased for 1,000gns; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (25/1 -108%)Bye Bye Now |
25/1(-108%) | (4) Bye Bye Now 25/1, Improved despite being made plenty of use of when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l, in a maiden here last time. Wears a hood for the first time and may have a little more to offer. Ran green on belated debut over 5f here but showed nice improvement to take 4th last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (7/1 +50%)Windsor Lily |
7/1(+50%) | (9) Windsor Lily 7/1, Made a fair debut without being given a hard time when beaten 10l in a maiden here. Returns after a short break and should do better given speed in her predigree. Starman filly was well beaten on C&D debut in Dec'; likely to need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (85/40 +85%)Sedro Woolley |
85/40(+85%) | (3) Sedro Woolley 85/40, Needed the run when comfortably held in a maiden here last time. That effort should bring him on and he holds a chance on his debut run. Fifth in decent Limerick m'den and ran like he needed it when fifth here last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (6/4 +88%)Spirit Above |
6/4(+88%) | (6) Spirit Above 6/4, Tired close home after a solid debut when beaten 8l in a maiden here. Returns from a short break and should come on for that first run. Okay debut here over C&D in Dec' but refused to enter the stalls last time; risky.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (100/1 -203%)Sixpence Stella |
100/1(-203%) | (5) Sixpence Stella 100/1, Showed improvement from her debut when beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden here last time, but still has plenty to prove. Tailed off on debut here; weakened into sixth last time at 150-1; may do better in h'caps. |

DUSTY ROCK filled the runner-up spot here a fortnight ago and appears to have been found a good opportunity to go one better. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly was far from disgraced on debut at Cork last spring and was then absent until beating all bar Pass Me If You Can here, with Bye Bye Now over five lengths behind in fourth. The remainder of those with form appear quite modest and perhaps newcomer Faustyna may prove the main threat.

Her runner-up finish over 5f here last time is the standout piece of form, and if Dusty Rock can repeat that effort it should be enough

1st (3) (6/4 +20%)Shalaa Asker |
6/4(+20%) | (3) Shalaa Asker 6/4, Well placed off a modest pace and ran to form when landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 5-7f, remains well treated on old efforts and could follow up. Largely consistent this winter and looked like he had more to offer when winning latest.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (22/1 -57%)Top Star |
22/1(-57%) | (7) Top Star 22/1, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front and needed the run when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 5f, should build on that effort but more is needed to get off the mark. Comfortably held after an absence latest; probably needs a favour from the handicapper.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/1 -14%)Papa Don't Preach |
8/1(-14%) | (2) Papa Don't Preach 8/1, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. Had no obvious excuse when fifth beaten 4l off 60 last time, runs off the same mark here and still looks competitively treated. Multiple 5f AW winner; latest effort was a significant drop off in form; bit to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/2 -27%)Howzak |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Howzak 7/2, Returned to form in a first-time tongue tie when landing a handicap by a short-head off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Enjoys making it, is effective at 5/6f, remains on a winning mark and should be competitive. Came good at Newcastle last week; 4lb penalty means he's still on a good mark; player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/2 +15%)Fortunate Star |
11/2(+15%) | (6) Fortunate Star 11/2, Ran to current form when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 5/6f, he is in moderate form and the handicapper is beginning to relent. Dual C&D winner; hinted at a revival in first-time cheekpieces latest; more needed.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (7/1 -8%)Stash The Cash |
7/1(-8%) | (5) Stash The Cash 7/1, Had every chance but ran below form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Suited by 5f, the trainer is in form, although a long losing run remains a concern. 0-6 on AW but did go close over C&D last month; visor back on but hard to be confident.. |

Howzak won at Newcastle last week but only narrowly and it was a bit of a surprise at 28/1. He might be worth taking on under a penalty and preference is for the proven course form that SHALAA ASKER brings to the table, and he's won two of his last three starts. Papa Don't Preach is the pick of the rest.

The suggestion is to stick with HOWZAK, who came back to form last time, when he looked like there could be more to come.

(1) (1/6 +0%)Gamesters Guy |
1/6(+0%) | (1) Gamesters Guy 1/6, Keen and jumping went to pieces late when eased, comfortably held in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and generally consistent, but may do better if brushing up on his jumping. Beat his sole rival at Doncaster on penultimate start; sets the standard in another match. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +0%)I Am Max |
4/1(+0%) | (2) I Am Max 4/1, Ran to form but never threatened when beaten 9l in a handicap chase here last time. Effective up to 3m, but he remains unreliable. Respectable effort at Wetherby last time; has a much lower rating than his sole rival. |

GAMESTERS GUY finished last of five on his first handicap start over fences at Windsor, but beat smart rival Moon Rocket prior at Doncaster. If the seven-year-old can reproduce that level of form, he may prove a tough nut to crack. I Am Max could only manage fifth over 3m here over Christmas and will need to pull out more if he wants to put it up to the selection.

Judged on ratings, GAMESTERS GUY looks set to record a second success in a match race this season.

(3) (8/15 +20%)Seaniecon |
8/15(+20%) | (3) Seaniecon 8/15, Made a promising debut when second, beaten a neck, in a maiden hurdle at Ludlow last time. Effective over 2m5f on good to soft ground, is a point winner, and should build on that initial run as the one to beat. Irish point winner; clear second in Ludlow maiden hurdle on rules debut; leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/4 -27%)Douglas Hyde |
7/4(-27%) | (2) Douglas Hyde 7/4, Was a bit keen but travelled well before having too much to do after conceding first run when second, beaten 3/4l, on handicap debut at Haydock. Effective over 2m to 2m3f on soft and good ground, and remains competitive. Consistent under rules, clear second in Haydock handicap most recently; solid chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -29%)Bresiliant |
18/1(-29%) | (1) Bresiliant 18/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 23l, in a novice hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective at trips between 2m4f and 3m on heavy and good to soft ground, but improvement is required. Very lightly raced 9yo; bred to do better still, being related to winners for his stable. |

Point winner SEANIECON shaped with promise when filling the runner-up spot at Ludlow last month and is likely to take a step forward. This looks like a good opportunity and the five-year-old can take full advantage. Douglas Hyde brings plenty of experience to the table and has to be respected after his second in a handicap at Haydock in December. Bresiliant can beat Shuile Warrior for third.

Ludlow runner-up SEANIECON is open to progress over hurdles and taken to go one better. Solid Douglas Hyde is feared most.

(2) (10/3 +39%)Masked Angel |
10/3(+39%) | (2) Masked Angel 10/3, Returned to form but had too much to do after meeting trouble when closing, beaten 2 1/4l off this mark here last time. Effective at 5-7f and could build on that effort. Generally reliable at this venue, rare bad run here in December, much better two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +0%)Sovereign Banter |
7/2(+0%) | (5) Sovereign Banter 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 6/7f, in form, and can go well again. Only once out of the frame in seven outings since last October, unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (11/2 +78%)Cavalier Approach |
11/2(+78%) | (10) Cavalier Approach 11/2, Forced wide from a poor draw when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time. Enjoys making it, returns from a break, but has lost form. Won four times in Britain, weak form in Ireland last year, best watched on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (7/1 +18%)Sandi O Mali |
7/1(+18%) | (9) Sandi O Mali 7/1, May not have stayed when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently and likely needed the run. Off a short break and effective at 7f, but has plenty to prove in handicaps. Showed mild promise in maidens for her previous trainer, Colin Keane rides on yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -75%)Hero Of The Hour |
7/1(-75%) | (1) Hero Of The Hour 7/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark here last time. Effective at 5/6f and consistent in this type of race. Three-time C&D winner including this race in 2023, went close over 5f on penultimate run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (9/1 +18%)Platino Bianco |
9/1(+18%) | (11) Platino Bianco 9/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle three runs back. Failed to stay when tenth beaten 7l last time, now 2lb lower, with cheekpieces on for the first time. Won over this trip at Newcastle in December, unplaced in two starts here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (12/1 +57%)Rattletheonionbag |
12/1(+57%) | (14) Rattletheonionbag 12/1, Below form when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Off a short break, effective at 5/6f, but a regressive maiden. Placed in five of her 15 races at this track, remains a maiden after 27 races in all. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (12/1 -200%)Hasiyna |
12/1(-200%) | (8) Hasiyna 12/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Off a short break, effective at 6/7f, though the latest win had its knocks. Confirmed her AW preference when beating Hero Of The Hour in December, should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (18/1 -50%)Charanda |
18/1(-50%) | (12) Charanda 18/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 5-7f but needs more. Maiden has a modest record at this venue, may have needed last month's run after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (20/1 -67%)Never Shout Never |
20/1(-67%) | (3) Never Shout Never 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 5l in a claimer here last time. Drawn wide, effective at 6/7f, and although his mark is falling, he needs more. Hard to win with as illustrated by 2-40 record, needs to step up on recent course form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +12%)Ukiyo |
22/1(+12%) | (7) Ukiyo 22/1, No-show from off the pace when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective at 5/6f but stamina and suitability to this surface remain to be proven. 6f turf winner for Gavin Cromwell last autumn, down the field over 7f on AW/stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -43%)Si Senior |
40/1(-43%) | (4) Si Senior 40/1, Below form when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Effective at 10-12f and now dropping in grade. Not at her best since 1m2f Ballinrobe win last June, unappealing in a sprint handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (50/1 -52%)Carmina Burana |
50/1(-52%) | (13) Carmina Burana 50/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Drawn wide, effective at 5/6f, and up against it again. Held by several of these rivals on running in recent months, never better than fourth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (80/1 -220%)Gobi Star |
80/1(-220%) | (6) Gobi Star 80/1, Poor effort when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Drawn wide, effective at 6/7f, but remains out of form. Three of his four wins have come at this venue but no success since 2023, in rear latest. |

SOVEREIGN BANTER beat the progressive Nikki Swango over C&D in October and has been a model of consistency since. The Andy Slattery-trained colt is generally ridden up with the pace under regular partner Jimmy Dalton and can find enough in the closing stages against this opposition. Hero Of The Hour appears equally effective over 5f and 6f and is closely matched with Hasiyna on running over the minimum trip here before Christmas. Masked Angel is noted too.

Sadhbh Tormey went close on HERO OF THE HOUR here in December. Her 10lb claim could make the difference in a rematch with Hasiyna

(6) (1/1 +27%)Himself |
1/1(+27%) | (6) Himself 1/1, Idled in front but improved again when landing a handicap by 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective over 12-16f, he looks hugely progressive and well treated having escaped a penalty. Won four of his last five and he escapes a penalty for his C&D win on Saturday; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -14%)Skycutter |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Skycutter 4/1, Had too much to do but ran to form when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Enjoys making it, is effective up to 16f, and is running back into form. On reduced mark and he's been placed on Tapeta in last two starts; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/2 +31%)Fleur De Mer |
11/2(+31%) | (3) Fleur De Mer 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective over 12-14f and in okay form, though she has not won for over two years. Both wins were in 2023 but she's generally reliable and was placed over C&D last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 -50%)Moab |
6/1(-50%) | (1) Moab 6/1, Travelled well and returned to form when beaten 1/2l in a weaker race at Huntingdon last time off a 41lb higher mark, proving stamina. Effective over 10-14f and fairly treated back hurdling. C&D winner who was a close second over hurdles last time; in the mix back on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 -38%)Billy Bathgate |
9/1(-38%) | (4) Billy Bathgate 9/1, Scored by 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in December and ran to form when fourth, beaten 2l, off 56 last time. Effective over 14-16f and can go well again. In-form veteran who has reached the frame at Wolverhampton in last two runs; shortlisted. |

HIMSELF completed the three-timer in good style here on Saturday and is very difficult to oppose given his clear liking for this circuit. Providing he copes with the quick turnaround, the four-year-old could have a lot more to offer and is taken to kick on. Moab is another C&D winner to consider and Wolverhampton third Skycutter can be competitive as well.

It's hard to get away from HIMSELF (nap), who has won four of his last five starts and escapes a penalty for his C&D win on Saturday.

(2) (13/8 +0%)Bossman Jack |
13/8(+0%) | (2) Bossman Jack 13/8, Improved from his debut when beating a useful yardstick to win a novice hurdle at Ffos Las by 2l last time. Debut form working out very well. Effective at 2m, acts on S and GS, should get further and can defy a penalty. Came clear with useful yardstick to win at Ffos Las; firmly in calculations under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (15/8 +0%)Swindon Village |
15/8(+0%) | (3) Swindon Village 15/8, Was a bit free and tired late on when stepped up in trip, but still ran to form when 13l third in a novice hurdle at Windsor. Effective at 2m4f, acts on S, with improvement likely in handicaps. Won over 2m4f at Leicester then didn't see out 3m at Windsor; can be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (22/1 +0%)Jonny Setaside |
22/1(+0%) | (6) Jonny Setaside 22/1, 45,000 euros Dink gelding whose dam was unraced. Yard can get them ready first time so worth a check in the betting. Makes debut in a hot novice but with trainer in excellent form; could give a good account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +0%)Forever Louie |
25/1(+0%) | (5) Forever Louie 25/1, Improved from his debut when second, beaten 4l, in a bumper at Musselburgh latest. Returns from a short break, is effective at 2m, acts on GS and may find this longer trip suitable on hurdle debut. Runner-up in Musselburgh bumper but needs sizeable step forward in this useful contest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (40/1 +0%)Passing Diamond |
40/1(+0%) | (9) Passing Diamond 40/1, Outpaced and comfortably held on a modest debut in a maiden hurdle at Hereford last time, having needed the run. Returns from a short break and, with Irish bumper form franked, could build on that effort. Two-time Irish point winner but tailed off on hurdle/stable debut at Hereford in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (80/1 +0%)Nordic Gift |
80/1(+0%) | (8) Nordic Gift 80/1, Frozen Fire gelding. Dam was poor in points. Likely to need this initial experience. 2nd foal; dam failed to complete in three points; probably best watched on belated debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (200/1 +0%)Au Plaisir |
200/1(+0%) | (4) Au Plaisir 200/1, Green on a modest debut when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Newcastle. Effective at 2m and showed promise in Irish bumpers, but needs more to figure over hurdles. Promise in both bumpers in Ireland but down the field on his two runs in Britain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (200/1 +0%)King Kodiak |
200/1(+0%) | (7) King Kodiak 200/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Catterick on his latest start. Likely to want 2m4f or further over hurdles and looks up against it in this company. Not devoid of promise in bumper at Newcastle last February but he's struggled over hurdles. |

(1) (15/8 -7%)Bobby's Nelson |
15/8(-7%) | (1) Bobby's Nelson 15/8, Improved up in trip when winning a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las by 3 1/2l last time. Effective between 2m and 2m4f and acts with cut. Steadily progressive and remains competitive under a penalty. Won when upped to 2m4f at Ffos Las and he's a leading candidate under a 7lb penalty. |

Bossman Jack caught the eye when comfortably getting off the mark at Ffos Las and is likely to appreciate this step up in distance. Even so, BOBBY'S NELSON looks the way to go. The seven-year-old has already proven his stamina when scoring in good style over 2m4f at the Welsh venue last month and makes plenty of appeal. Swindon Village can't be ruled out either.

Top of the list is BOBBY'S NELSON, who was suited by the step up in trip when winning with something to spare over 2m4f at Ffos Las.

(1) (9/4 +10%)Seasmoke |
9/4(+10%) | (1) Seasmoke 9/4, Made too much use of and found the ground too testing when third, beaten 14l off 95 last time, now 1lb lower. Effective at 2m4f-3m and acts on Hy and G. A consistent type with a good chance again. Largely consistent in handicaps; has form figures of 3123 since switched to chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/4 +10%)Hardy Buck |
9/4(+10%) | (6) Hardy Buck 9/4, Tired late on ground softer than ideal when second, beaten 15l, off 74 last time and runs off the same mark here. Effective at 2m2f-2m7f on S and G, though sometimes a weak finisher. Can go well. Back in better form for new yard; hurdles mark is 7lb higher; fighting chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +59%)Subtle Fortune |
9/2(+59%) | (3) Subtle Fortune 9/2, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when fourth, beaten 26l, in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective at 2m4f-2m6f and acts with cut. Maiden win form modest and may do better chasing. May show the benefit of this switch to chasing and step back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/2 -200%)Kaviar Wood |
9/2(-200%) | (5) Kaviar Wood 9/2, The yard won this race last year. Made too much use of when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield last time. Effective at 2m-2m4f on S and GS and may have more to come over fences. In-form contender; still a maiden but looks capable of being involved on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (15/2 +70%)Johnny Boy |
15/2(+70%) | (4) Johnny Boy 15/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las on his latest start. Seems effective up to 3m1f on soft or good to soft ground, but needs to find improvement on recent efforts to feature. May show improvement for the switch to fences and return to Hereford. |

Hardy Buck bounced back to form when occupying the runner-up berth at Huntingdon and is respected, but he might come out second best to SEASMOKE. The eight-year-old made the frame over an extended 2m3f at Ffos Las last time and will appreciate this step back up in trip. Off a 1lb lower rating, she looks the one to side with. Kaviar Wood is another to keep an eye on.

As regards the contenders who already have chasing experience, HARDY BUCK (nap) is preferred off his mark.

(1) (13/8 +7%)Tatateo |
13/8(+7%) | (1) Tatateo 13/8, Did it cosily and ran to form when upped in trip back from hurdling, landing a handicap here by 3l off a 7lb lower mark last time. Effective over 10f–16f, a useful dual-purpose performer who remains unexposed as a stayer on the Flat. Dual-purpose type carries a 7lb penalty following a ready C&D win last time; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (9/2 -13%)Gallo Dell Cielo |
9/2(-13%) | (8) Gallo Dell Cielo 9/2, Did it easily and improved again when landing a handicap here by 3l off a 7lb lower mark last time. Effective from 8f–16f, now on a career-high mark but remains unexposed over staying trips. Triple course winner after wins here last two times inc' over C&D; up 7lb but big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (11/2 +21%)Black Gem |
11/2(+21%) | (9) Black Gem 11/2, Ran to form back on the Flat when beaten 3l here last time off a 1lb lower mark. Usually held up, effective at around 2m, and still fairly treated on his French form, with scope to build on that run. Runner-up behind Gallo Dell Cielo here last time; not dismissed with cheekpieces on now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +41%)Minella Mate |
13/2(+41%) | (2) Minella Mate 13/2, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l here last time off a 2lb higher mark. Returns from a short break and is effective over 12f–16f. Slowly running back into form after a lay-off. Bumper/m'den winner in 2023; lightly raced since but has run okay over C&D last two times. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +29%)Pavilion End |
10/1(+29%) | (5) Pavilion End 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l here last time off this mark. Effective over 12f–16f and a previous course winner. The mark still looks high enough, although the penultimate run has since been boosted. Course m'den winner in Jan' last year; close 3rd over 1m4f in Oct' but sixth here latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 -18%)Beauparc |
10/1(-18%) | (7) Beauparc 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l here last time off a 1lb higher mark. Effective over 10f–12f and now back on her last winning mark, with a top course jockey booked, but must build on that effort and has stamina to prove. Stayed on for third over 10.5f here latest; down to last winning mark and first try at 2m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (20/1 -67%)Sign From Above |
20/1(-67%) | (4) Sign From Above 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest failing to stay 3m and returns from a break. A consistent sort who stays well and now switches back to the Flat after that disappointing hurdles effort. Three-time Flat winner added second hurdles win at Gowran in Oct'; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 +9%)Inchiquin Maid |
20/1(+9%) | (10) Inchiquin Maid 20/1, Made a poor Flat return when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Comes back from a short break, is effective at around 2m on this surface, and had been consistent in both codes prior to that run. Sole win from 37 starts came over C&D in Dec' 2024; middling efforts last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (25/1 -56%)Ehteyat |
25/1(-56%) | (3) Ehteyat 25/1, Improved from debut when finishing a 9l third in a maiden hurdle at Thurles on his most recent run. Effective over 12f–16f on the Flat, thriving for a new yard and remains well treated on his UK form. Three-time Flat winner posted an eye-catching hurdles effort when third last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (40/1 -300%)Umala |
40/1(-300%) | (6) Umala 40/1, Did plenty early back from a break and tired late when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Effective at around 10f on this surface and should be able to build on that latest run. Course m'den winner in April left impression run last time was needed. |

TATATEO scored in effortless fashion over C&D last Friday and can follow up under a 7lb penalty. The Teofilo gelding has won twice over hurdles since joining Denis Hogan including at Cork last month and relished the step up to 2m for the first time on the Flat when justifying favouritism five days ago. Gallo Dell Cielo is certainly on an upward curve and was also trying two miles for the first time when beating Black Gem by three lengths here last month. He's now on a hat-trick and is noted along with Sign From Above.

Both Gallo Dell Ciello and TATATEO were C&D winners last time, with slight preference given to the latter

(4) (2/1 +27%)Imola |
2/1(+27%) | (4) Imola 2/1, Scored by 3l off a 7lb lower mark here three starts back. Bit below form when fourth beaten 3 1/4l off 56 last time and is 3lb higher now, but still looks fairly treated. Below-par favourite last time; consistent otherwise but her new mark has kicked in. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +0%)Mercurius Power |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Mercurius Power 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off this mark at Newcastle last time. Effective over 8f with all recent form on the all-weather; has a poor strike rate but looks fairly treated if building on that latest effort. Won off 2lb higher over C&D in 2024; close third to Dream Illusion at Newcastle last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 +33%)Heretic |
6/1(+33%) | (9) Heretic 6/1, Was a bit free and hit the front too soon but still ran to form when beaten a length off this mark here last time. Effective over 8f on the all-weather and only just above his last winning mark. Form over C&D features a quickfire double in October and creditable effort last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +36%)Springbok |
7/1(+36%) | (8) Springbok 7/1, Never threatened when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 8f on the all-weather; still a maiden and needs to build on a recent revival. In reasonably good form but still needs to show he has what it takes to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 -27%)Dream Illusion |
7/1(-27%) | (3) Dream Illusion 7/1, Forced to wait for a gap but returned to form when landing a handicap by a neck at Newcastle last time off a 3lb lower mark. Effective over 7-8f on the all-weather, though she can be unreliable. Got up close home over 1m at Newcastle most recently; still unexposed at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (15/2 +17%)Liberty Bird |
15/2(+17%) | (2) Liberty Bird 15/2, Never in it after a slow start when beaten 7l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Returns off a short break; effective over 7-10f on the all-weather but a bounce back is needed for her new yard. Rank outsider when never dangerous at Lingfield on stable debut last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 +0%)Sherlock |
11/1(+0%) | (5) Sherlock 11/1, Had every chance but ran below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective over 7-8f on the all-weather, but an inconsistent maiden. Maiden; has frame possibilities on his November/December efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 -87%)Arthur Rose |
14/1(-87%) | (10) Arthur Rose 14/1, Scored by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Lingfield two starts ago. Ran to form when second beaten 2l off 57 last time and runs off the same mark here. Solid results (2112) on Polytrack for new yard; possibly hasn't reached her ceiling yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 -108%)Balqaa |
25/1(-108%) | (11) Balqaa 25/1, Ran to form when beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race at Newcastle last time. Usually held up and effective over 8-10f on the all-weather, though she has a poor strike rate. Well treated on best handicap form but needs to prove she can still show it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (25/1 +11%)Amelia's Joy |
25/1(+11%) | (6) Amelia's Joy 25/1, Never threatened and looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6-7f on the all-weather, but has plenty to find. Not entirely solid on her handicap form but may benefit from this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (28/1 -155%)Calaxy |
28/1(-155%) | (7) Calaxy 28/1, Was a bit too free and flattened out when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Had been in good form prior and is effective over 7-8f on the all-weather. Added hood may help her to settle better than last time; attractively weighted. |

Mercurius Power is well capable at this level and is a must for the shortlist, as is the consistent Imola, who brings winning C&D form to the table. However, preference is for DREAM ILLUSION, who would have won by even further if getting a clear run at Newcastle 11 days ago and she's performed well at this track before too.

Off a reduced mark back at the scene of her maiden win, CALAXY is the suggestion. Arthur Rose is second pick.

(1) (2/1 +0%)Klycot |
2/1(+0%) | (1) Klycot 2/1, Improved again when winning a 4yo hurdle here by 12l last time, benefitting from a drop in class. Effective around 2m and acts on heavy and soft ground. A progressive type based on recent form who sets the standard. Improving juvenile; good effort in the Finale is flanked by wins, latest by 12l over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +0%)Love Sonnet |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Love Sonnet 4/1, Improved when winning a juvenile hurdle at Newbury by 8l last time. Off a short break, she is effective around 2m and acts on soft and good ground. A progressive performer on recent evidence. Record of 211 over hurdles, scoring by 8l at Newbury most recently; progressing well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/6 +0%)Merci Mam |
5/6(+0%) | (2) Merci Mam 5/6, The yard won this race last year and he made a very promising debut when winning a juvenile hurdle at Lyon Parilly by 1/4l. Returning from a break, effective at 2m1f and acts on heavy ground. More to come for top yard and should go well on stable debut. Successful in sole French start; subsequently sold for 520,000euros; interesting recruit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 +0%)Captain Connor |
66/1(+0%) | (4) Captain Connor 66/1, Green and made mistakes when well beaten in a 4yo hurdle here latest, though showed a little improvement from debut. Effective at 2m on good to soft ground but likely to want further over hurdles. Long way behind Klycot over C&D last time, regressing further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (66/1 +0%)Blondina |
66/1(+0%) | (5) Blondina 66/1, Made mistakes and was outpaced when down the field on hurdle debut at Musselburgh most recent. The run was needed and the trainer is in form, but she has yet to show much in either code. Never figured at Musselburgh on the switch to this code. |

Love Sonnet arrives on the back of completing a double at Newbury and has to be considered along with French hurdles winner Merci Mam, who is making his stable bow for Dan Skelton. However, KLYCOT bolted up to make it two from four in the UK over track and trip on his latest outing and even a repeat of his runner-up effort in Grade 2 company at Chepstow over Christmas might be enough.

Ex-French Merci Mam is an interesting contender. KLYCOT and Love Sonnet bring the best British form and they are progressive.

(7) (1/2 +71%)Lau And Shaz |
1/2(+71%) | (7) Lau And Shaz 1/2, Was still going well when falling in a novice hurdle at Windsor last time. Effective at 2m, though not proven at further, and is capable of better if none the worse for that fall. Won on stable debut in December; fell last time but can put that behind her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (11/2 +8%)Superkap |
11/2(+8%) | (14) Superkap 11/2, Improved on debut when finishing second, beaten 2 1/2l, in a juvenile hurdle at Chateaubriant last time. Returns from a long layoff and is effective at 2m2f on very soft ground, making him of interest on his British debut. 2 hurdle starts in France, latterly 2nd (very soft) in May; watch the market on yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +20%)Emerald Warrior |
6/1(+20%) | (1) Emerald Warrior 6/1, Below debut form when well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Uttoxeter last time. Returns from a long layoff and is effective at 2m on soft ground. There may be more to come now switched to hurdling. Encouraging second on bumper debut here; look for market support on hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (6/1 +79%)Kentucky River |
6/1(+79%) | (13) Kentucky River 6/1, Another moderate effort when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield last time. Stays 2m1f on the Flat and may be better suited by handicaps in due course. Disappointed on hurdle debut; shaped like h'caps a better option when mid-division latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +36%)Kingdom Of Stars |
14/1(+36%) | (6) Kingdom Of Stars 14/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Looks in need of more time and is likely to be better suited by low-grade handicaps once gaining further experience. Attracted some support but stopped quickly on hurdles debut 18 days ago; watch the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 0%)Hobbson's Day |
16/1(0%) | (5) Hobbson's Day 16/1, Below debut level when comfortably held in a bumper at Doncaster last time. Effective at 2m1f on good to soft ground but improvement is required now that he switches to hurdling. Tailed off on second bumper start 18 days ago; needs to bounce back switched to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (40/1 +0%)Garavogue |
40/1(+0%) | (2) Garavogue 40/1, Produced a similar level to debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective at 2m on good to soft ground and looks the type to do better when switched to handicaps. Caught the eye on debut over C&D but didn't progress on heavy ground next time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -65%)Golly Gosh |
66/1(-65%) | (4) Golly Gosh 66/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Southwell last time. Looks the type who may show improvement when switched to handicaps. Not much to shout about in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; probably one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (80/1 -60%)Moorsbrook |
80/1(-60%) | (11) Moorsbrook 80/1, Produced a modest effort when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Effective at 2m on a sound surface and showed promise in bumpers, but needs to prove her ability remains after a layoff. Good 3rd in a bumper last April; form either side doesn't match up, including over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (150/1 -275%)Loro White |
150/1(-275%) | (10) Loro White 150/1, Made a moderate debut over hurdles when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Taunton last time. Looks up against it on that evidence. Novicey jumping when 50l adrift on her hurdling debut at Taunton (heavy) last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (150/1 -127%)Viva Vincente |
150/1(-127%) | (9) Viva Vincente 150/1, Made a modest debut when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton last time. May need more time and experience before showing his best form. No show when 150-1 for Wincanton maiden (heavy) a fortnight ago; likely one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (200/1 -100%)Silver Gale |
200/1(-100%) | (12) Silver Gale 200/1, Another poor effort when finishing down the field in a novice hurdle at Warwick last time. Has plenty to prove for now and looks in need of more time. Tailed off in both hurdle outings and will be of greater interest once handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (250/1 -25%)Nancefordshore |
250/1(-25%) | (8) Nancefordshore 250/1, Did not get home on debut at Chepstow last time, having done plenty early. The trainer is in form and he returns from a short break, but he has yet to show any ability in points or under rules. Pulled up in both Irish points and again when 250-1 for his hurdling debut in December. |

The bumper winner GLANCING JACK showed plenty of promise when filling second place on his hurdling debut over C&D a month ago and Tom Symonds' gelding merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance. Lau And Shaz was still in with a big chance when falling four out at Windsor last time and she is an obvious threat. Any market support for Superkap on his debut for these connections would have to be noted.

Glancing Jack and LAU AND SHAZ look the two to focus on, with narrow preference going to Kayley Woollacott's promising mare.

(3) (15/8 +38%)Electric Night |
15/8(+38%) | (3) Electric Night 15/8, Improved from her debut when beaten 1 1/4l down in trip in a maiden here last time. Probably effective over 7f or 8f and has likely reached her level but that could be good enough. Potentially the pick of her trainer's three runners and capable of making an impact. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (15/8 +17%)Star Strewn |
15/8(+17%) | (13) Star Strewn 15/8, Improved a little from her debut when third, beaten 3 1/2l, in an auction race here most recently. Trained by a top course handler and should come on for that initial experience. Made the frame twice here in November, will not need to improve to score on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 +26%)Glitter And Glory |
10/3(+26%) | (5) Glitter And Glory 10/3, Ran to form when finishing third, beaten 3l, in a maiden here on her most recent run. Returns from a short break and has found her level, remaining largely consistent. Showed initial promise on turf, twice third in 1m maidens here, needs to find a bit extra. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -33%)Green Interlude |
6/1(-33%) | (6) Green Interlude 6/1, Finished down the field in a maiden at Cork last time with no obvious excuse. Should improve if able to obtain a clearer passage and debut form sets the standard. Worth a market check to help assess her prospects relative to stablemate Electric Night. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (14/1 -115%)Neon Eyes |
14/1(-115%) | (10) Neon Eyes 14/1, Showed similar form to her debut when fourth, beaten 7 1/4l, in a maiden here last time. Ran well on debut despite a poor trip and may be under-rated after her second start. Has made the frame in two C&D starts, appeals as one of the leading contenders. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 +13%)Luminessa |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Luminessa 14/1, Very creditable effort on debut when beaten 6 1/2l in a maiden here. Returns from a short break and should make normal improvement from that first run. Fair fifth over 6f here in December, left an impression this extra furlong will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (40/1 +0%)Unfamiliar |
40/1(+0%) | (14) Unfamiliar 40/1, Tired late but showed minor promise when beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden here on debut. Should improve from that first run. Only 2l behind fourth-placed Neon Eyes here on debut, capable of buliding on that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (66/1 -450%)Personified |
66/1(-450%) | (11) Personified 66/1, Still looked green but made minor late headway when beaten 7l in a maiden here last time. Seems effective around 1m, may want further, and remains open to improvement. Held by stablemate Electric Night on C&D running, might be one for handicaps after this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (66/1 -65%)Ellens Bay |
66/1(-65%) | (4) Ellens Bay 66/1, Made a modest debut when beaten 10l in a maiden here. Returns from a break and has a lot to find based on that initial effort. Started slowly and never threatened in a C&D maiden on her debut, unlikely to feature. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (100/1 0%)He's Holding Court |
100/1(0%) | (7) He's Holding Court 100/1, Put in a moderate effort when finishing down the field in an auction race here most recently. Bred for at least 8f, but has yet to show much ability. Three-figure odds and soundly beaten in two 1m starts here last month, makes no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (150/1 -200%)Annestown |
150/1(-200%) | (1) Annestown 150/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a maiden at Cork on her latest start. Effective over 6f and should improve a little for that initial experience, but needs to show considerably more. Towards the rear in outings at the Curragh and Cork at two, has changed stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (200/1 -150%)Princess Chloe |
200/1(-150%) | (12) Princess Chloe 200/1, Looked as though she needed further when finishing down the field in a maiden here last time. Trainer is in form, but she may need a step back up in trip. Always at the back in a pair of sprint maidens here last month, up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (500/1 -400%)My Oddessy |
500/1(-400%) | (9) My Oddessy 500/1, Missed the break and was always behind when well beaten on her only start in a maiden here. Probably wants at least a mile and can only do better. Ran green here on debut last month, trainer has a stronger candidate in Luminessa. |

ELECTRIC NIGHT stepped forward from her debut here in December when only going down by a little over a length behind Flanker Jet over C&D last month, with stablemate Personified over five lengths adrift. The daughter of Night Of Thunder has scope for further improvement and is preferred to another Joseph O'Brien-trained filly Green Interlude, who made an encouraging debut at the Curragh last July but has been absent since disappointing the following month at Cork. Glitter And Glory is another to bear in mind.

Well fancied when making the frame in two C&D appearances for her previous trainer, STAR STREWN has can score for Ado McGuinness

(1) (10/11 -36%)Si Grass |
10/11(-36%) | (1) Si Grass 10/11, Travelled best, came away when pushed out and ran at least to form off a break when winning a maiden here by 1 1/4l last time. Effective at 1m, should get further; a big, strong filly, a nice prospect who should rate more highly. Reappeared with a comfortable win over C&D and she's strongly respected under a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (13/8 0%)Naana's Crystal |
13/8(0%) | (3) Naana's Crystal 13/8, Good effort off a break and up in trip when second, beaten 1 1/2l, in a novice at Kempton latest. Effective at 1m, shows a good attitude and is open to further improvement. Heavily backed when a clear second on Kempton reappearance last week; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (25/1 -257%)Coul Britannia |
25/1(-257%) | (7) Coul Britannia 25/1, Improved from her debut when finishing well up in trip, beaten 2 1/2l, in a maiden at Kempton last time. Trainer is in form, she probably wants 7f+ and there may be more to come. Eyecatching fifth at Kempton last time and that was a major step forward; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (50/1 -52%)Forever Twenty |
50/1(-52%) | (2) Forever Twenty 50/1, 42,000gns breeze-up purchase by Havana Grey; full-sister to Greycee Bell, fair at 7f as a 2yo; dam useful at 6f at 2yo; interesting if money arrives. 42,000gns breeze-up 2yo; out of a 1m winner and market should guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (100/1 +0%)Whisky Dreams |
100/1(+0%) | (4) Whisky Dreams 100/1, Tired badly on her only start when well beaten in a novice at Beverley. Returns from a long layoff and has plenty to find on what has been shown so far. Finished a tailed-off last when 66-1 on Beverley debut (5f) last April; had wind op since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (100/1 -150%)Filly Eilish |
100/1(-150%) | (8) Filly Eilish 100/1, 15,000 euros Phoenix Of Spain filly; full-sister to Spanish Blaze, very useful at 7f; worth a market check given yard. One of three runners for yard and market should guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (150/1 -50%)Smart Recruit |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Smart Recruit 150/1, Outpaced and never threatened on debut when beaten 10l in a maiden at Wolverhampton. Needs marked improvement on that effort and is hard to recommend. Made a low-key start at Wolverhampton last summer and is best watched on her return. |

It's hard to get away from SI GRASS, who comfortably justified favouritism over track and trip last month and, considering the manner of that success, she can defy her penalty. Naana's Crystal took a step forward when taking the silver medal home at Kempton last week and is likely to be on the premises. Of the remainder, the experienced Coul Britannia makes the most appeal.

Last month's C&D winner Si Grass is strongly respected, but the vote goes to last week's Kempton runner-up NAANA'S CRYSTAL.

(3) (4/1 +0%)Eaton Anne |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Eaton Anne 4/1, Made mistakes and never travelled when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time, possibly failing to stay. Returns from a short break, is effective at 2 1/2m and acts with cut, but stamina remains to be proven. May well relish this switch to chasing, having won his sole point attempt; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 +0%)Express Surprise |
5/1(+0%) | (7) Express Surprise 5/1, Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 12l, off 107 last time and competes from the same mark here. Effective at 3m and generally consistent. Made the frame last time when bidding for hat-trick; remains in form; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +0%)Heeztheboy |
6/1(+0%) | (2) Heeztheboy 6/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Leicester on his penultimate start. Effective between 2m and 3m and acts on heavy or good to soft ground. The handicapper may have caught up. Disappointing last time but can't be written off; progressive otherwise for current yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 +0%)Pimlico Point |
9/1(+0%) | (1) Pimlico Point 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time. Effective around 3m and ideally wants easier ground, but his overall profile remains inconsistent. Chance largely depends on whether new headgear prompts a turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/1 +0%)Latenightrumble |
10/1(+0%) | (4) Latenightrumble 10/1, Ran to current form when well beaten in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Effective at around 3m and suited by cut in the ground, though his form has tailed off during the past year. Might well have won this race last year but for stumbling on landing at final fence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (11/1 +0%)Fenland Tiger |
11/1(+0%) | (5) Fenland Tiger 11/1, Never threatened when fourth, beaten 28l, in a handicap chase at Newcastle last time. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Effective over 3m to 3m2f and acts on heavy or good to soft ground, but needs a drop in class. Chance depends on how well he reacts to first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/4 -29%)Paddy O'mahler |
9/4(-29%) | (6) Paddy O'mahler 9/4, Improved again up in trip when outstaying the runner-up to land a handicap by 2l at Haydock last time, off a 5lb lower mark. Effective at 3m and acts with cut, with his current mark still looking fair. Record of 2211 since switched to chasing; respected with further progress plausible. |

PADDY O'MAHLER is progressive and makes a good bit of appeal chasing a three-timer following an assertive Haydock success last time over a couple of furlongs further. He won at this track over hurdles and gets the nod ahead of Heeztheboy, who can be forgiven one lacklustre effort at Leicester last time given his previous form. Keep an eye on Express Surprise too.

Off a 4lb lower mark, LATENIGHTRUMBLE is taken to gain compensation for seeming unlucky in this contest 12 months ago.

(1) (5/6 +63%)Springtime Legend |
5/6(+63%) | (1) Springtime Legend 5/6, Yard won this race last year. Comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Windsor last time. Effective around 2m5f and probably ideally suited by plenty of give. Could build on the latest effort back on this softer ground. Step back in the right direction on last time's handicap debut; drops in grade; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (6/1 -100%)Shesupincourt |
6/1(-100%) | (6) Shesupincourt 6/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m. Yet to fire since returning from a break in the autumn and now switches back to hurdling. Hasn't been competitive this term and starting to look regressive; 3lb out of the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (8/1 -191%)Lydeard Girl |
8/1(-191%) | (4) Lydeard Girl 8/1, Below her previous level when fourth, beaten 42l, in a maiden hurdle at Taunton latest. Effective at 2m. More to come up in trip now that she moves into handicaps. Backed at big odds last time; up in trip on softer ground for h'cap debut; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 -200%)Parikarma |
12/1(-200%) | (2) Parikarma 12/1, Below form but did see out the longer trip when fourth, beaten 18l, in a handicap hurdle at Plumpton latest. Off a long absence. Effective at 2m–2m4f. In form when last seen but wellbeing to prove. Won on last two stable debuts; starts out for another new yard after 436-day break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (14/1 +13%)Dawn's Desire |
14/1(+13%) | (7) Dawn's Desire 14/1, Made mistakes and was disappointing on handicap debut when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time. May have found the ground a bit testing. Off a short break and yet to show anything. Very moderate form so far; early days but she's 5lb wrong and needs to get it together. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 -79%)Ezmerellda |
50/1(-79%) | (5) Ezmerellda 50/1, May not have stayed on easy ground when fourth, beaten 32l, in a handicap hurdle here latest. Effective at 2m–2m4f. Described as regressive on recent evidence. Hasn't gone on from promising start over hurdles; no revival in three starts for this yard. |

SPRINGTIME LEGEND failed to make an impact when sixth on her handicap debut at Windsor last month, but she should relish this ease in grade. With that in mind, the six-year-old could be hard to beat. Lydeard Girl is likely to appreciate this switch to handicaps and she should not be underestimated, while any market support for Parikarma would have to be noted.

This shouldn't take too much winning and LYDEARD GIRL gets the vote on her first go in a handicap. Springtime Legend drops in grade.

(8) (11/4 +0%)Beau Army |
11/4(+0%) | (8) Beau Army 11/4, Probably improved again when upped in trip, landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time. Trained by a top course handler and effective at 6–7f, having progressed since going handicapping. Can complete hat trick. 6f winner here in Nov' and followed up 12 days ago over C&D; up 7lb more but key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (7/2 +13%)Apiary |
7/2(+13%) | (5) Apiary 7/2, Seemed to run to form when back up in trip, finishing 6l third in a handicap here on her most recent run. Suited by 7f and gets 1m. Her official mark looks about right. Beaten just a head h'cap debut and left with a lot to do last time; worth another go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 +43%)Princess Sioux |
4/1(+43%) | (3) Princess Sioux 4/1, Finished down the field in a nursery at Galway most recently. Returns from a break and has a top course jockey booked. Effective at 6f but has yet to convince with stamina for 7f and must settle better. Has struggled in opening two h'caps; makes stable debut now with Colin Keane aboard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (15/2 0%)Iryna's Star |
15/2(0%) | (7) Iryna's Star 15/2, Produced her most reliable effort so far, probably reflecting her ability, when beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Tries a tongue-tie for the first time and is effective at 7f. Outran 50-1 odds last time to take 3rd behind Beau Army; down 1lb now and in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 -25%)Iff In Doubt |
15/2(-25%) | (6) Iff In Doubt 15/2, Would have been a length closer with a clear run when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Usually held up and returns from a short break. Gelded in autumn and looks on a competitive mark. Much improved over C&D last twice under this rider; not discounted.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (8/1 +50%)Sand Art |
8/1(+50%) | (10) Sand Art 8/1, Went up in trip and returned from a break when well beaten in an auction race here latest. Should get a mile and is expected to come on for that return run. Well beaten in opening maidens inc' over 1m here last time; makes handicap debut now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -33%)Boston Benjamin |
10/1(-33%) | (1) Boston Benjamin 10/1, Below debut form when finishing down the field in an auction race here most recently. Tries a tongue-tie for the first time and returns from a short break. Effective at 7f and should come on for that initial experience. Stayed on for fourth over 7f at Naas but way below that here last time; can get involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 -33%)Salacious |
16/1(-33%) | (4) Salacious 16/1, Had too much to do in a race dominated from the front, beaten 3 1/4l off a 4lb higher mark here last time. Returns from a break, is effective at 5f, and needs to bounce back. Two nursery attempts leave her with plenty of improvement to find.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (28/1 -229%)Tenacious |
28/1(-229%) | (2) Tenacious 28/1, Improved when just flattening out late up in trip, beaten 7l in an auction race at Thurles last time. Returns from a break, is effective at 7f, but has yet to show much overall. Well held in opening m'dens but slight improvement last time; check market for h'cap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (80/1 -60%)Commander Kabaw |
80/1(-60%) | (9) Commander Kabaw 80/1, The yard won this race last year but he was outpaced despite cheekpieces when finishing down the field in a handicap here most recently. Trainer is in form, usually held up, and may do better over 1m or further. Hasn't shown much to date inc' in h'caps last twice; still early days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (150/1 -200%)Chapelhillhart |
150/1(-200%) | (11) Chapelhillhart 150/1, Hooded and always struggling when finishing down the field on handicap debut here most recently. Her best run came on debut and form has regressed since. Well held in two turf starts and hasn't improved for switch to this surface; 2lb wrong. |

IFF IN DOUBT has run with plenty of promise on his latest two starts over C&D and gets the vote to reverse places with Apiary (second) from when not enjoying the clearest of passages in fourth before Christmas. The selection was also drawn on the wide outside on that occasion and is preferred to Beau Army, who is on a hat-trick. The Ado McGuinness-trained filly had Iryna's Star nearly three lengths behind in third last time.

Beaten just a head over C&D in November, APIARY was left with a lot to do last time but ran creditably and she is given another chance

3/1(+57%) | (4) Hint Of The Jungle 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective at 5/6f, in good form and on a workable mark, though there are stamina concerns over this trip. 6f course winner; in good form over that trip; worth another try over 7f; player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 -48%)Nammos |
10/3(-48%) | (5) Nammos 10/3, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l in a claimer at Dundalk last time and returns off a short break. Well treated on old form but slow starts remain an issue and current form is poor. 7f Polytrack winner; starts for this trainer on a handy mark but hard to be confident.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 -13%)Last Outlaw |
9/2(-13%) | (6) Last Outlaw 9/2, Never threatened when ridden to see out the trip and beaten 5l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 5/6f but his form has tailed off, although his mark is much lower now. Each-way claims if reproducing his effort three starts ago but has gone backwards since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 +50%)The Spotlight Kid |
9/2(+50%) | (2) The Spotlight Kid 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark here last time. Effective at 7/8f, below his last winning mark, and more like it on his latest couple of starts. Competitive mark but drop to 7f does not look obviously positive based on recent attempts.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (9/1 +18%)Grand Citadel |
9/1(+18%) | (7) Grand Citadel 9/1, Outstayed late when fourth, beaten 4l, in a handicap at Kempton latest. Effective over 5-8f but remains inconsistent and needs to find a bit extra to feature. 7f turf winner; 0-2 AW record and probably needs a further favour from the handicapper.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (10/1 -43%)Brother Dave |
10/1(-43%) | (9) Brother Dave 10/1, Needed every yard and returned to form when winning a classified race here by a head last time. Suited by 7f, the trainer is in form, and he remains on a competitive mark. Won C&D classified last month; back up in the weights for return to handicap company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 +13%)Impulse Buy |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Impulse Buy 14/1, No obvious excuse when beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective at 6/7f but remains a maiden and looks exposed on what has been shown so far. Placed over 6f and 7f; has taken a couple of backwards steps lately but not written off.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (25/1 +38%)Darla's Secret |
25/1(+38%) | (12) Darla's Secret 25/1, Ran to current form when beaten 3 1/4l in a classified race here last time. Effective over 7-10f but is an exposed maiden and not at his best of late. Unplaced in 12 starts; not disgraced recently over C&D but needs improvement to win.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (33/1 -83%)Saved Lizzie |
33/1(-83%) | (11) Saved Lizzie 33/1, Continued in poor form when comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Usually held up, suited by 7/8f, but she remains a maiden and arrives with only moderate recent form. 0-22; well beaten in two of her three starts for this trainer; others preferred.. |

Brother Dave returned from a break to deliver a victory in a classified stakes over C&D, but HINT OF THE JUNGLE was only beaten half a length into second over 6f here on his latest outing and is off the same mark. Mike Murphy's gelding can cope with the extra furlong in order to regain the winning thread. Gundogan and The Spotlight Kid are others to watch out for.

The suggestion is HINT OF THE JUNGLE who may have the scope to do a little better over this trip. Gundogan is feared most.

(2) (2/1 +0%)Tormund Giantsbane |
2/1(+0%) | (2) Tormund Giantsbane 2/1, From a yard that won this race last year. Keen and made mistakes when fourth beaten 12l in a Grade 2 novices' hurdle at Sandown last time. Effective at 2m4f, a point, bumper and hurdles winner, with more to come for a top yard and opening mark could be lenient. Not disgraced in Grade 2 novice at Sandown in December; has potential off opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 +0%)Into The Park |
10/1(+0%) | (1) Into The Park 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Exeter last time, never jumping or travelling. Effective over around 2m4f and 2m5f, and is likely capable of better over fences than shown on his latest start. Pulled up on chase debut last time but went very close off today's mark in October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/4 +0%)Woodland Park |
11/4(+0%) | (3) Woodland Park 11/4, Improved when beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Uttoxeter last time. Effective between 2m and 2m5f, a consistent type who has been thereabouts and is likely to be involved once more. Went close at Uttoxeter last time and every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +0%)Baratablet |
13/2(+0%) | (4) Baratablet 13/2, Scored by 4l off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle on his penultimate start. Effective from around 2m4f up to 3m and has been progressive, though the handicapper may now have caught up with him. Only fourth at Kelso in hat-trick bid but that may not represent ceiling of his ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (14/1 +0%)North Parade |
14/1(+0%) | (9) North Parade 14/1, Made too many errors and had too much to do when fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Off a short break, effective around 2m4f, and now dropping back towards a workable mark. 11yo whose losing run continues but he might have an each-way chance off reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (15/2 +0%)Captain Butler |
15/2(+0%) | (6) Captain Butler 15/2, Outpaced and looked in need of further when beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Effective over 2m to 2m4f, his mark looks fair and he can do better now stepping up in trip. There's a suspicion he has a bigger run in him and the step back up in trip may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +0%)Kingston Narcissus |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Kingston Narcissus 16/1, Won by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Sedgefield on his penultimate start. Never threatened when seventh beaten 44l last time off the same mark. Effective around 2m to 2m4f, but demands more after that run. Won at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but tailed off at Catterick only on Monday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (33/1 +0%)Ballygeary |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Ballygeary 33/1, Had no obvious excuse when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Effective over about 2m4f and on a workable mark, but arrives out of form and needs to show a return to his best. Close third on stable debut in July but he's struggled to get competitive since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +18%)Bertie's Ballet |
9/1(+18%) | (5) Bertie's Ballet 9/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Haydock last time. Had been in good form beforehand and is effective between 2m and 2m4f, so should come on for that latest outing. May have needed last month's comeback run; second in this last year when 3lb higher. |

Woodland Park finished a close-up second at Uttoxeter latest and it's easy to see why he'll prove popular given his connections. However, TORMUND GIANTSBANE might have his measure going handicapping for the first time off 123. Dan Skelton deemed his six-year-old good enough for a Grade 2 at Sandown in December. Of the others, Baratablet should be able to get competitive.

The novice TORMUND GIANTSBANE (nap) appears to have a realistic mark for his h'cap debut and earns the vote ahead of Woodland Park.

7/2(+22%) | (5) Ahanaglogh 7/2, Outpaced and not knocked about on his final qualifying run when well beaten in a novice hurdle here latest. Looked in need of a stiffer test; effective at 2m and a former pointer who may do better now chasing. No show in three novice hurdles; unexposed so market watch on this handicap/chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (4/1 +38%)Kingcormac |
4/1(+38%) | (4) Kingcormac 4/1, Never competitive, flattened out after bad error seventh beaten 19l off 90 last time, 1lb lower here; usually held up; effective 2m4f, acts with cut; inconsistent. 121 over C&D, the 2nd in this race last year; lesser effort latest; can bounce back here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/2 -64%)Copper Cove |
9/2(-64%) | (2) Copper Cove 9/2, Returned to form on testing ground when second, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las latest. Effective at 2m–2m4f, best with cut, and unexposed over fences on a fair mark if building on that run. 2nd when punted over hurdles latest; suitability for fences & trip unproven but mark fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +36%)Everyonesacritic |
9/2(+36%) | (6) Everyonesacritic 9/2, Won this race last year and made too much use of when running to form, finishing third beaten 8l in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m4f, consistent, and back on a workable mark with a visor first time. Won this last year; also won on heavy; good mark and looks a player in first-time visor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (17/2 -113%)Benignitas |
17/2(-113%) | (1) Benignitas 17/2, Ran to form on chase debut when second, beaten 4l in a handicap chase at Ffos Las latest, possibly challenged a bit too early. Effective at 2m4f and a point winner who should have more to offer over fences. Point winner; chase debut 2nd (2m3f, heavy) 12 days ago; contender if this isn't too soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (17/2 +6%)Three Zambezi's |
17/2(+6%) | (8) Three Zambezi's 17/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Exeter latest and is now off a short break. Effective at 3m and inconsistent over a variety of trips. Solid 2nd in point (heavy); modest hurdle form (been gambled); watch market on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (11/1 +56%)Jack Doyen |
11/1(+56%) | (7) Jack Doyen 11/1, Travelled best, found nil under pressure as usual when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; generally consistent but often finishes weakly. Won off this mark over C&D in March; on the retreat when mistake two out over C&D latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 -33%)L'empire Vert |
16/1(-33%) | (3) L'empire Vert 16/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when fourth, beaten 32l in a handicap chase at Ludlow latest. Off a short break, effective at 2m–2m4f, but the form of his latest win was weak and jumping issues have followed. Won in November but fell next & jumping went to pot latest; break no bad thing; new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (22/1 +67%)Est Illic |
22/1(+67%) | (10) Est Illic 22/1, A no-show from off the pace when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m4f–3m, but needs to prove his ability remains following a long layoff. Veteran who has shown modest form in two starts since returning from a big break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (33/1 -136%)Greenways |
33/1(-136%) | (9) Greenways 33/1, Race may have come a bit soon when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Exeter last time. Returning from a break, effective at 2m–2m4f, prefers to dominate and is now back chasing. H'dle win here; won over fences in July (2m, good) but poor since; good mark; watch market. |

COPPER COVE was a beaten favourite at Ffos Las over hurdles last month but it wasn't a bad run in second and he could build on that now back over fences. Benignitas also took the silver medal home on her latest start and is expected to be bang there at the business end, while C&D winners Kingcormac and Everyonesacritic also make some appeal.

The market could be interesting but last year's one-two EVERYONESACRITIC & Kingcormac are suggested to fight out the finish again.

(2) (8/11 -9%)Ben Lawers |
8/11(-9%) | (2) Ben Lawers 8/11, Flattened out late and ran below form when fourth, beaten 8l, in a maiden here most recently. Returning from a break and must settle better, but has shown enough to suggest he can land a maiden. Scoped badly following below par run last time; should have too much for these. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 +56%)Land Of The Giants |
10/3(+56%) | (5) Land Of The Giants 10/3, Ran below form when well beaten in a higher-class maiden here last time, having been in good form previously. Trained by a top course trainer, returns from a short break, and holds an experience edge despite the latest run. Not especially progressive but solid in m'dens; gelded since below par effort latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +10%)Reposado |
9/2(+10%) | (6) Reposado 9/2, Needed the run when fourth, beaten 14l, in a maiden here most recently. Blinkers are applied for the first time and, while there is a bit to prove, this looks an easier opportunity than previously. Made a moderate return from a four-month absence here last time when a distant 4th. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/1 +67%)Battle Borne |
11/1(+67%) | (1) Battle Borne 11/1, Ran a bit below form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time, having been in good form beforehand. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time and he is effective over 7-9f, with a chance if bouncing back. Encouraging yard debut when third in C&D h'cap but failed to back it up last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 -211%)Coulsty Exchange |
14/1(-211%) | (8) Coulsty Exchange 14/1, Improved for debut experience when a 2l third in a maiden here under positive handling last time. A tongue-tie is tried for the first time, she is effective over 1m, and further progress is required. Showed nice improvement over debut when third over C&D last time; claims with improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (16/1 +43%)Jallaaf |
16/1(+43%) | (4) Jallaaf 16/1, Showed minor promise on debut when beaten 7 1/2l in a maiden here. Returns from a short break, is effective at 7f, and this longer trip may not suit on what has been shown so far. Sent off at 50-1 for his debut here over 7f when midfield; more required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -100%)Believeth |
50/1(-100%) | (7) Believeth 50/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a maiden here on her most recent start. She has plenty to prove following a lay-off and will need to show marked improvement to feature. Returned from lenghty absence with a below par effort here last time; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (125/1 -25%)Gonirianbotharleat |
125/1(-25%) | (3) Gonirianbotharleat 125/1, Made a poor debut when well beaten in a maiden here on his only start. Returns from a short break and has speed and stamina in his pedigree, but may need more time before showing his best. Finished 24l behind on debut and hard to fancy based on that.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (300/1 -100%)Siofra Beag |
300/1(-100%) | (9) Siofra Beag 300/1, Never threatened when beaten 9l in a maiden here last time after dropping back in trip. She has yet to find suitable conditions and looks a runner who may need more time. Always behind in three runs here at massive prices; can only be watched. |

BEN LAWERS has been placed both on turf and this surface and appears to have been found a good opportunity to open his account. Jessica Harrington's charge had both Land Of The Giants and Battle Borne well behind when third over 1m1f at Leopardstown last summer and appeared to find 1m3f too far when beaten at odds-on here last time. Coulsty Exchange took a nice step forward from her debut when making the running and finishing a creditable third over C&D last month and is another to note.

Comfortably holding the top rating in the field of 87, BEN LAWERS should have too much for these

(6) (5/4 +69%)State Of Madness |
5/4(+69%) | (6) State Of Madness 5/4, Won off a 5lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts ago and ran to form when third off this mark last time. Effective over 5/6f and can again go well. Has record of 112143 for current yard and that latest third was a close call; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (6/1 +40%)Azure Zain |
6/1(+40%) | (1) Azure Zain 6/1, Was a bit too free and flattened out when beaten 5l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Had been in good form beforehand and is effective over 5/6f, but needs more to land a first handicap win. On reduced mark but he's not easy to predict and is 0-8 in handicaps; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (9/1 +0%)Em Four |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Em Four 9/1, Scored by a neck off this mark at Chelmsford in January. Made too much use of from a wide draw last time, but the trainer is in form and he has generally been running well. Didn't fire last time but he still looks feasibly treated and is capable of bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +0%)Fan Mail |
11/1(+0%) | (3) Fan Mail 11/1, Below form after an early bump when beaten 6l at Chelmsford last time. Had been in good form previously, is returning from a break, and remains competitively weighted if bouncing back. Not easy to predict but he won over C&D on penultimate run; needs close look on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -69%)Blue Lakota |
11/1(-69%) | (2) Blue Lakota 11/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Enjoys making the running over 5/6f and the 2lb rise looks lenient. Made it 5-13 on AW when making all at Newcastle; big player again off only 2lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (12/1 -9%)Dicko The Legend |
12/1(-9%) | (7) Dicko The Legend 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective over 6f on a sound surface. Usually held up and probably high enough in the weights. Returns after a break but he could be dangerous if this sets up for his closing style. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 -50%)Vince Lombardi |
12/1(-50%) | (9) Vince Lombardi 12/1, Improved on recent form to win by a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Thriving of late but new mark asks more. C&D winner who made all over 7f at Wolverhampton last time; respected back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (14/1 -17%)Dark Side Thunder |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Dark Side Thunder 14/1, Won at Chelmsford three starts back and ran to form last time but possibly outstayed late. Looks the type to bounce back down in trip. No impact since his Chelmsford win in December but he had an excuse over 7f last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (16/1 -256%)Jesse Luc |
16/1(-256%) | (10) Jesse Luc 16/1, Had too much to do after missing the break and meeting trouble when beaten 2 1/2l at Chelmsford last time. Effective over 5-6f and acts on the AW. Is on a fair mark. Dual C&D winner who had some traffic issues on his reappearance last month; could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (18/1 +18%)Pianoforte |
18/1(+18%) | (11) Pianoforte 18/1, Far too free when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Newcastle last time. His form has tailed off. Overall record is 1-13 and has form figures of 507747 in handicaps; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (28/1 -155%)Thankuappreciate |
28/1(-155%) | (12) Thankuappreciate 28/1, Ran to current form when beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Has dropped in the weights but in moderate form of ltae. His last win was 14 months ago and faded over 5f here in last two runs; others preferred. |

In an open event, marginal preference is for STATE OF MADNESS. Charlie Clover's gelding was an eye-catching close third over 6f at Kempton three weeks ago and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. The recent Wolverhampton winner Vince Lombardi is an obvious danger now just 1lb higher, while Lequinto edges out Blue Lakota and Jesse Luc to be next best.

This is competitive but STATE OF MADNESS has a record of 112143 for his current yard and he gets the vote ahead of Blue Lakota.

(2) (4/1 +0%)Spot On Soph |
4/1(+0%) | (2) Spot On Soph 4/1, Comfortably held by less exposed rivals in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Off a short break and effective from 2m to 2m3f, suited by good ground. In fine form until latest and may need a drop in grade. Tailed off in November but some good form previously and maybe a break will have helped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 +0%)Scairp Dubh |
5/1(+0%) | (6) Scairp Dubh 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective around 2m and in good form. Looks on a fair mark judged on maiden efforts and holds strong claims. Close fourth of 16 at Newcastle four weeks ago on second handicap start; could be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (5/1 +0%)De Deli Counter |
5/1(+0%) | (7) De Deli Counter 5/1, Yard won this race last year. Improved when allowed an easy lead and jumped much better when beaten 3/4l off this mark at Market Rasen last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and needs to build on that latest improvement. Close second at 25-1 at Market Rasen recently on second handicap start; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +0%)Another High Five |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Another High Five 6/1, Improved on his final qualifying run when beaten 12l into third in a maiden hurdle at Kelso last time, though he looked in need of a stiffer test. Acts on soft and good ground and is a likely improver now handicapping up in trip. 3m point runner-up who could relish the step up in trip on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (8/1 +0%)Wot You Wearing |
8/1(+0%) | (9) Wot You Wearing 8/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell last time. Effective over 2 1/2m on soft and good to firm ground but is out of form. Three-time hurdle winner but it's been a long time since he posed a serious threat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/2 +0%)Kells Priory |
9/2(+0%) | (1) Kells Priory 9/2, Needed the run when well beaten on chase debut in a beginners' chase at Tramore last time. Returning from a break and effective over 2 1/2m on soft and good ground. Must bounce back on stable debut. Perhaps a change of scenery will have helped; one to watch in the betting on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +0%)Princesse Milania |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Princesse Milania 10/1, Yard won this race last year. Never travelled when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time, having been in good form beforehand. Effective from 2m5f to 3m on soft and good ground and had been consistent until latest. Tailed off last time but enjoyed good end to 2025; in the picture if getting back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 +0%)Natus Vincere |
13/2(+0%) | (8) Natus Vincere 13/2, Finished well but was never put into the race when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time, having needed the run. Effective at 3m in points and should come on for that latest outing. Late headway into 31l fifth on handicap debut; could pose a much bigger threat today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (22/1 +0%)Justus |
22/1(+0%) | (4) Justus 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time. Effective at 2m on soft and good ground but needs to bounce back following that effort. He's struggled on his three hurdle starts this winter and a major turnaround is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (50/1 +0%)Gold Ring |
50/1(+0%) | (10) Gold Ring 50/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time. Regressive in both codes and hard to fancy. Struggled in h'cap hurdles in winter 2024-25 and same story on comeback here on Boxing Day. |

SPOT ON SOPH wasn't at the races at Market Rasen in November but has been freshened up and could be worth chancing in the finale judged on her previous form, which includes a Bangor second and a win over this trip at Sedgefield. De Deli Counter produced his best effort so far when runner-up at Market Rasen recently and is noted along with Kells Priory.

The very lightly raced mare NATUS VINCERE caught the eye at Leicester and is taken to score on her second handicap start.

11/4(+50%) | (1) D Day Arvalenreeva 11/4, Below form when fourth beaten 25l in a handicap at Chelmsford latest after dropping in trip. Effective over 11–16f and on a fair mark, she looks a player back up in distance. Good effort at Chelmsford in November but well beaten last month; not a solid option. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (11/4 -22%)Further Measure |
11/4(-22%) | (4) Further Measure 11/4, Did his best work late when running to form, beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Effective over 14–17f, but needs more dropping in trip. Latest effort can be upgraded and this C&D winner lurks on a handy mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (3/1 +33%)Trapper John |
3/1(+33%) | (3) Trapper John 3/1, Again ran to a poor level when well down the field in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield most recent. Effective at 12–14f, but has a bit to prove back on the Flat. Not fully exposed and Catterick 2nd last October offers hope; apprentice having first ride. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (5/1 -82%)Cynthia |
5/1(-82%) | (6) Cynthia 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 3/4l off a 1lb lower mark at Nottingham last time. Returns from a break, is effective at 12–14f, and has been consistent on the whole. 0-7 but two runner-up finishes for J Horton last year; 2m could suit; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 +17%)Shibuya Song |
10/1(+17%) | (7) Shibuya Song 10/1, Again below form when beaten 8l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Effective over 12–16f, but arrives in poor form and has been lacking enthusiasm of late. No show in two runs for new yard last month; should be well treated; check betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +0%)Lunar Power |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Lunar Power 14/1, Well below form back on the Flat when comfortably held in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Returns from a short break and is effective up to 18f, but has plenty to prove. On a losing run but starts out for new yard on a handy mark; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (33/1 -136%)Definite |
33/1(-136%) | (5) Definite 33/1, A no-show from off the pace when down the field in a handicap here most recent. Effective around 10f, but stamina remains to be proven at this longer distance. Just two runs since July 2023; well held on last month's return to the Flat; others safer. |

Further Measure struck over C&D around this time last year and competes off an attractive mark, so he needs to be taken seriously, along with D Day Arvalenreeva after her fourth at Chelmsford. However, CYNTHIA hit the woodwork in testing conditions at Nottingham in October and has since switched to the in-form David Pipe stable. This represents just her fifth start in a handicap and she looks the one to beat.

Further Measure's latest run can be upgraded but the lightly raced CYNTHIA could have more to come now upped to 2m

11/4(+8%) | (4) Lucky Bere 11/4, Ran to form when stuck to the inside under a good ride, landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off a 7lb lower mark at Wincanton last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and consistent, though his new mark asks more. Up 7lb for opening hurdle account last month; conditions will suit and he's a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (3/1 +45%)Kel Du Large |
3/1(+45%) | (6) Kel Du Large 3/1, A bit below form when reportedly unsuited by a tight track and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Windsor last time. Had been in good form prior, is effective over 2m, and has shown consistency in a short career. Junior hurdle win here (2m) in early 2024; flopped last time but too soon to write him off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 -50%)King Jon Oliver |
3/1(-50%) | (2) King Jon Oliver 3/1, Improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden hurdle at Fakenham by 7 1/2l last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on good to yielding. Holds a good chance on handicap debut. Won maiden on yard debut last month; handicap debut & disappointing if not up to this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +50%)Canty Bay |
6/1(+50%) | (3) Canty Bay 6/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Lingfield last time. Effective over 2m4f-3m and suited by cut. Needs to prove ability remains after a layoff but is back down to his last winning mark. Latest win came by 12l off this mark in early 2024; could build on recent comeback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (13/2 +54%)Don Rafael |
13/2(+54%) | (8) Don Rafael 13/2, Ran to form when finishing third, beaten 5 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle at Southwell on his most recent run. Returns off a short break, is effective over 2m4f, and remains consistent enough to go well again. Lucky C&D win in November; respectable third latest; unproven on heavy but not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/1 -82%)Bingoo |
10/1(-82%) | (1) Bingoo 10/1, Best form since 2023 when second, beaten 5 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle at Leicester last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good to soft. Respected on the strength of that latest effort. 2nd on stable debut (1m7f, soft) in December; has won on heavy and at this sort of trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (50/1 -178%)Oakley |
50/1(-178%) | (7) Oakley 50/1, Outpaced when dropped in trip and well held at Chepstow last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f on a sound surface, and a step back up in distance looks a plus based on previous form. Won over C&D (good) in November; well held off this mark over 2m next time. |

KING JON OLIVER looks the one to be on in the finale. A winner at Fakenham on debut for this shrewd stable last month, he could be well treated off 118 now going handicapping for the first time and makes much more appeal than Lucky Bere, who has gone up 7lb for a Wincanton success. Bingoo is another to bear in mind.

King Jon Oliver must be respected on his handicap debut but LUCKY BERE's proven ability on testing ground just earns him the vote.

(1) (6/4 +40%)Beat The Devil |
6/4(+40%) | (1) Beat The Devil 6/4, Scored by 4l off a 10lb lower mark here in January and ran to form when second, beaten 1/2l off 60, last time. Runs from the same mark, has a top course jockey and is effective over 7-11f, though stamina remains to be proven. Tackles this trip for the first time, solid course form over 1m and the extended 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (3/1 +25%)Without Love |
3/1(+25%) | (11) Without Love 3/1, This yard won this race last year and he landed a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 10-12f on the all-weather, unexposed and still looks on a lenient mark. Much-improved when third to Jawhary over C&D, backed that up with win over extended 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (6/1 +8%)Baila Conmigo |
6/1(+8%) | (4) Baila Conmigo 6/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 4 1/4l, in a handicap here on his latest start. Effective over 7-12f on the all-weather and arrives in decent form from a mark that still looks fair. Getting closer to a breakthrough win, two solid displays over C&D last month, contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (7/1 +13%)Jurality |
7/1(+13%) | (8) Jurality 7/1, Still green but ran to form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Sligo last time. Suited by a mile and a sound surface but is not in the best of form at present. Showed a fair standard form on the Flat last summer before two moderate hurdle runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +44%)Desert Friend |
9/1(+44%) | (6) Desert Friend 9/1, Continued in modest form when beaten 2 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Effective up to 13f on the all-weather and has lost his form of late, though the handicapper continues to relent. Fair sixth last time but four of these rivals were in front of him then, up aganst it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 -60%)Jawhary |
16/1(-60%) | (3) Jawhary 16/1, Won a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark here two starts ago but was below form when held in a claimer last time. Effective over 10-12f on the all-weather and returns to handicaps on a fair mark. Good sequence of C&D handicap form before below best over shorter in a claimer last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 -186%)Patrick Street |
20/1(-186%) | (10) Patrick Street 20/1, Met plenty of trouble and was unlucky not to finish closer when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Effective over 10-12f on the Flat and has a fair mark if building on that boosted run. Fifth behind Jawhary last month was one of his better efforts, modest strike rate, 2-40. |

(9) (22/1 -120%)Deluca Chop |

Comes back from a short break, is effective over 10-12f on the all-weather and could be well treated if able to build on that latest revival. Hinted at a revival in form when third over C&D in December, could go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 -79%)Timandi |
25/1(-79%) | (2) Timandi 25/1, Never threatened after missing the break when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective up to 11f on the all-weather but remains an unreliable maiden. Never in the first three, not beaten far in fifth in a C&D claimer on penultimate start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -25%)Rising Sky |
25/1(-25%) | (5) Rising Sky 25/1, Again ran a little below form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark here last time. Returns from a short break, is effective over 7-8f on the all-weather, but stamina remains to be proven. Maiden whose best form has been over 1m, unknown quantity at this trip, good 7lb claimer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (33/1 +50%)Bright Night |
33/1(+50%) | (14) Bright Night 33/1, Outpaced and never threatened when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time. Wears blinkers for the first time, is effective at 10f and bred to stay further, but may need more time and longer trips. Weak form in maidens/handicaps, will need to be transformed by the addition of blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (80/1 -220%)Is She Now |
80/1(-220%) | (7) Is She Now 80/1, Outclassed when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time. Effective over longer trips but arrives in only moderate form in both codes. Last run was over hurdles, has an outside chance based on a 1m6f Navan run last autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (100/1 -150%)Guest Star |
100/1(-150%) | (13) Guest Star 100/1, Ran to form down in class when fourth, beaten 13l, in a claimer here on his latest start. Effective over 8-11f on the all-weather but has plenty to prove at present. Sole win came in a claimer at this venue last year, recent fourth was in the same grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (125/1 -279%)Appian Way |
125/1(-279%) | (12) Appian Way 125/1, Never in the race when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time. Returns from a break and arrives out of form in both codes. 16-race Flat maiden who has won twice over hurdles, hard to make a case for him here. |

TIMANDI won a barrier trial at Leopardstown as a juvenile and has shown promise on a number of occasions since, notably when beaten just over a length by Benavente over C&D in December. The selection was subsequently given plenty to do when keeping on behind Limestone Red over 1m3f. Beat The Devil has been kept busy since scoring over a mile here last month and now tries this trip for the first time. Jawhary has won twice over C&D this winter and is also respected.

A course winner three years ago, DELUCA CHOP is suggested as an each-way proposition after showing signs of a revival here in December

(7) (13/8 +19%)Marra Donna |
13/8(+19%) | (7) Marra Donna 13/8, Made a good handicap debut when making a lot of use of him from a wide draw and finishing second, beaten 1/2l, off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 7f and open to further improvement with a better trip. Best effort so far came on recent handicap debut (7f, Tapeta); return to 6f worth a try.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +54%)Welcome Retreat |
3/1(+54%) | (2) Welcome Retreat 3/1, Ran to form off a break when second, beaten 1/2l, in a novice at Chelmsford latest. Effective at 6f and could come on a fraction from that return run. Went close at Chelmsford latest; mark unchanged for handicap debut; improving; player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/5 -31%)King Of Chaos |
18/5(-31%) | (1) King Of Chaos 18/5, Pulled way to the front but was well placed off a slow pace and suited by a longer trip when winning a maiden at Lingfield by 3l last time. Trainer is in form and he is effective at 6f, with 7f likely to suit if settling better. Could follow up. Broke his duck in a Lingfield maiden latest; 6lb penalty; considered back in a handicap.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 +18%)Grey Horizon |
9/2(+18%) | (4) Grey Horizon 9/2, Scored by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start. Effective at 5f and 6f, and may stay 7f if settling better, with a very likeable attitude. In good form including C&D win; close third latest; drops 2lb; competitive.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (8/1 -33%)Nala's Dream |
8/1(-33%) | (3) Nala's Dream 8/1, Had a good trip on the inner and ran to best off a reduced mark when landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5f and 6f but faces a stiffer task now. Improved when winning latest; 6lb rise perhaps harsh but she may step up on that; player.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -71%)Henriette Ronner |
12/1(-71%) | (6) Henriette Ronner 12/1, Was touch keen but rejuvenated in first-time blinkers and eased clear when landing a handicap by 2 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 6f and 7f and could follow up if the headgear works again. Off the mark for William Haggas recently; up 8lb, so will need another step up.. |

Henriette Ronner and King Of Chaos both merit plenty of respect following recent wins but their new marks could leave them vulnerable. With that in mind, the vote goes to MARRA DONNA, who did not appear to get home over 7f on his handicap debut last week. This drop in trip should suit and a mark of 63 is clearly workable.

This could be the day for WELCOME RETREAT, who is improving with each start, to outperform her mark and win on her handicap debut.

(5) (13/8 +46%)Karakula Dancer |
13/8(+46%) | (5) Karakula Dancer 13/8, Had every chance and probably ran to form when second, beaten 5 1/2l off 54 last time. Runs off the same mark, is suited by 8f, and cheekpieces appear to have helped. Has shown improvement in 1m handicaps this year; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (3/1 +57%)Chilliconcarneigh |
3/1(+57%) | (2) Chilliconcarneigh 3/1, Hampered as winner went past, would have been a length closer 7l third in a handicap at Southwell most recent run; effective 8/9f, acts on fast ground and AW; in good form. Still a maiden but is a solid contender on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (6/1 +82%)Montu |
6/1(+82%) | (9) Montu 6/1, Outpaced over an inadequate trip when well beaten in a novice at Lingfield last time. Drawn wide and returning off a short break, he wants middle distances and has yet to show any ability. May produce a bigger effort now handicapping and upped to 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (15/2 +38%)Lapidarist |
15/2(+38%) | (12) Lapidarist 15/2, Had plenty to do but ran to her current level when beaten 3l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 7-9f, though her mark has been easing to match her level. Ran well last time but is more exposed than most, being 0-9. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (11/1 +45%)High Boltage |
11/1(+45%) | (8) High Boltage 11/1, Probably ran a bit below form when dropped in trip and beaten 9l in a novice at Lingfield last time. Cheekpieces are tried first time, but he has shown little reliable form so far. May do better now handicapping in first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (12/1 +25%)Time To Sparkle |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Time To Sparkle 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 6l in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time. Returns from a break, and with her sire staying 10f she remains a possible improver now handicapping. First runner for James Keane; heed the market signals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (18/1 -300%)No Drama Mama |
18/1(-300%) | (1) No Drama Mama 18/1, Outpaced and comfortably held in a novice at Lingfield last time. Looks to need 8f or further, and as a big filly she remains open to improvement now stepped up in trip. Open to improvement now handicapping and upped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) (20/1 -25%)Nando's Pride |
20/1(-25%) | (14) Nando's Pride 20/1, Poor effort when fourth, beaten 20l, in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. Blinkers are tried first time from a wide draw, but he has yet to show any worthwhile form. First-time headgear needs to make a difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (20/1 +0%)Fallacious Promise |
20/1(+0%) | (11) Fallacious Promise 20/1, Poor effort when down the field off a stiff mark in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Bred to want 7f or further, but remains moderate based on what he has shown so far. Step up to 1m may have positive effect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 -10%)Monk's Hill |
22/1(-10%) | (7) Monk's Hill 22/1, Made plenty of use of up in trip off a break when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell. Hood is applied first time, and she could come on for that return run. May improve with Southwell reappearance under her belt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (100/1 -400%)Quiet Serenade |
100/1(-400%) | (3) Quiet Serenade 100/1, Seemed to stay and the run may reflect her ability when beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Cheekpieces are tried first time, but she looks moderate at best so far. Needs improvement for new scenario and first-time headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (125/1 -400%)Untilwemeetagain |
125/1(-400%) | (13) Untilwemeetagain 125/1, Looked unenthusiastic in the closing stages when down the field in a novice at Southwell last time. Hood is fitted first time, but she has yet to show any real signs of ability. Handicap debutante who is far from convincing on form. |

Karakula Dancer failed in his bid to complete a double when second at Southwell, but that was still a good effort and he should remain competitive. Handicap debutant No Drama Mama takes a step up in trip and is of interest, but SORTED gets the vote. The son of Mayson finished fourth off a figure of 50 at Wolverhampton last month and the extra furlong might bring out the required improvement to shed his maiden tag.

With another step forward plausible, HOVE RANGER may reverse Lingfield placings with Karakula Dancer.

(1) (4/9 +68%)Take Heart |
4/9(+68%) | (1) Take Heart 4/9, Ran to form when a 3/4l third in the Rated Race here on his most recent run after stepping up in trip. Trainer is in form, effective at 10f and running back into form, now down to an attractive mark. Beaten favourite here on both starts for this stable, well handicapped on his best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (10/3 +58%)Walhaan |
10/3(+58%) | (4) Walhaan 10/3, Scored by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here three starts back and ran to form when fourth, beaten 4l, off 83 last time. Needs 10f nowadays and is an inconsistent veteran but well treated on old form. Four C&D wins, 4l fourth to The Real Screamer two weeks ago, could go close with 7lb off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (7/1 +61%)Penzance |
7/1(+61%) | (2) Penzance 7/1, Helped set it up for the closer when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time. Returning from a break, effective at 10f with all wins on the all-weather, and well treated on UK form, though he may just need this. Five-time AW winner for Mick Appleby, 2025 Irish form provides limited encouragement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (8/1 +11%)Gotta Catch'em All |
8/1(+11%) | (6) Gotta Catch'em All 8/1, Had too much to do back down in trip after missing the break when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Returning from a break, effective at 10–12f, still a maiden but fairly treated on recent form. Best form at middle distances, found 1m inadequate here last time, this will suit better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (18/1 +18%)Loyal Touch |
18/1(+18%) | (5) Loyal Touch 18/1, Bit below form back down in trip when fourth, beaten 6l, in the Rated Race here latest. Effective at 10–12f and yet to quite match his UK form, but the handicapper has relented quickly. Five-time winner in Britain, not a bad run in a conditions race here 12 days ago. |

TAKE HEART won three times for Johnny Murtagh to earn a career-high rating of 99 and has indicated further success is imminent off his current mark since joining Stephen Thorne. The Dark Angel gelding has twice come up against the progressive Genoah and went close over 1m4f last time with Loyal Touch five lengths behind in fourth. The Real Screamer justified strong market support when overcoming a six-month absence to record a third C&D win a fortnight ago and he had Walhaan back in fourth.

Winner of all three starts over C&D, THE REAL SCREAMER can enhance that record. Improvement is feasible after his win two weeks ago

(6) (8/15 +72%)Mohaaraj |
8/15(+72%) | (6) Mohaaraj 8/15, Showed promise amidst greenness when fourth, beaten 3l, on debut in a novice at Wolverhampton. Comes here off a short break and should improve with that experience behind him. Not beaten far into 4th on November's debut (8.6f; form franked); more to come; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (5/2 -82%)Star Obsession |
5/2(-82%) | (8) Star Obsession 5/2, Tired late when stepped up in trip and made plenty of use of when fourth, beaten 7 1/2l, in a novice here last time. Middle-distance bred but not seeing races out so far, and there may be more to come when settling. Raced freely when 4th of 12 over C&D last week; hood off today; capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (6/1 +0%)Ablon |
6/1(+0%) | (3) Ablon 6/1, Ran a bit below debut level when the ground was too deep and stepped up in trip when comfortably held in a novice at Goodwood last time. May do better back from a break. Debut run (1m AW) was full of promise; no progress over 1m2f on heavy next time; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (16/1 -14%)Naval Tribute |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Naval Tribute 16/1, Fair effort off a long break when well beaten in a maiden here on Flat debut last time. Was in good form prior, should get at least 10f on the Flat, and was useful in bumpers. A type to do better when handicapping. Runner-up in three bumpers; only midfield in a C&D maiden two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 -127%)Extraterrestrial |
25/1(-127%) | (5) Extraterrestrial 25/1, Outpaced and unenthusiastic on first run after a wind operation when fourth, beaten 15l, in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. The trainer is in form and this is his second run after the wind op. A type to do better when handicapping. Failed to beat a rival in 2 Tapeta runs (wind op after debut); may need more time/distance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 -200%)Achalugo |
33/1(-200%) | (4) Achalugo 33/1, 92,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Catalina Cruiser and the sixth foal. Related to a modest enough sort in the US, is tongue-tied on debut, and has a wide draw to contend with. 92,000euros breeze-up 2yo; appealing pedigree; had a wind op prior to this belated debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (150/1 -275%)Sheik Yerbouti |
150/1(-275%) | (2) Sheik Yerbouti 150/1, Eastern Anthem gelding and a brother to Elementofsurprise, who was poor from 6f to 8f. The dam was useful from 6f to 7f. Makes no appeal on debut and others look stronger. Dam a 6f winner (RPR 78); yard in form but likely best watched on belated debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (150/1 -200%)Y Y Star |
150/1(-200%) | (7) Y Y Star 150/1, Green to the point of irresolute when fourth, beaten 12l, in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. Sprint-bred and may do better once gaining more experience. In need of the experience in two recent 6f runs; up in trip; longer-term prospect. |

Despite showing greenness, Mohaaraj did well to outrun his odds when finishing fourth on debut at Wolverhampton in November and is noted. 92,000-euro purchase Achalugo warrants a market check, but it may pay to side with STAR OBSESSION. William Haggas' filly progressed when sporting a first-time hood to finish fourth over track and trip last week and could have lots more in the locker.

1m2f on heavy ground didn't see ABLON to best effect when last in action but her Lingfield debut was full of promise.

(7) (4/6 +62%)Rykaro |
4/6(+62%) | (7) Rykaro 4/6, A 260,000gns New Bay colt making his debut. The dam failed to win but was placed over 7f, and although drawn wide, he represents a good yard capable of having one ready first time. 260,000gns yearling; dam a maiden sister to 1m winner Royal Rift; market to guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/4 -20%)Menzies |
9/4(-20%) | (6) Menzies 9/4, Made late headway from too far off the pace when beaten 4l in a maiden here on debut. Likely to want 10f or further in time, but showed plenty of promise on his first start. Promising 5th over 7f here on debut three weeks ago; 1m should suit; looks the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/2 -29%)Blue Moon Warrior |
9/2(-29%) | (4) Blue Moon Warrior 9/2, Broke poorly from a wide draw and raced too keenly, but finished well when beaten 4l into third in a novice here last time. Bred for middle distances and a big, workmanlike gelding with more to come. Two promising course runs this winter; open to improvement; leading claims in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (22/1 -22%)Goldfinder |
22/1(-22%) | (5) Goldfinder 22/1, Green but showed minor promise when beaten 8 1/4l into fourth in a maiden at Lingfield on debut. Should benefit from a step up to 8f or further and is a tall gelding with scope for improvement. Beaten over 8l into 4th on last month's Lingfield debut (1m); can do better but needs to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (25/1 +0%)The Ubermensch |
25/1(+0%) | (2) The Ubermensch 25/1, Never really involved when well beaten in a maiden here on his only start. The trainer is in form, with speed on the sire's side and stamina on the dam's, though his debut rating may flatter him. Down the field in a C&D maiden two weeks ago; open to improvement but it is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (33/1 -267%)Bronte Beach |
33/1(-267%) | (3) Bronte Beach 33/1, Probably needed the run and further when well beaten in a novice here last time. Effective at 10f, a stocky ex-Godolphin type who looks one to do better when sent handicapping. Some promise over 1m2f on debut; beaten over 15l on last week's stable debut (C&D). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (40/1 -21%)Pam's Sonnet |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Pam's Sonnet 40/1, A 2,000gns Kameko filly on debut. She is a half-sister to Annexation, useful at 8f, and out of a dam who was smart over 13f, but this looks a tough enough task first time. 2,000gns yearling; some appeal on paper but likely one for the longer term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (200/1 -506%)Callero |
200/1(-506%) | (1) Callero 200/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a 4yo hurdle at Newbury last time. Makes his Flat debut here and looks to have plenty to find, with more time and further distance likely required. Poor form in three hurdle runs this winter; best watched switched to the Flat. |

MENZIES showed plenty of promise when finishing fifth on his debut over 7f here last month and the son of Australia could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience and this step up in trip. Blue Moon Warrior also ran well in defeat over 7f at this venue last time and he should not be underestimated. Rykaro was a 260,000gns purchase as a yearling and any market support for him should be noted.

Blue Moon Warrior and Rykaro are respected but MENZIES looks to have been found a good opportunity. His debut was promising.

6/4(+8%) | (2) All Moonshine 6/4, Showed a good attitude to defy a penalty when winning a novice at Wolverhampton by 1/2l last time. Effective at 7f; progressing and more to come up in trip now handicapping. Chasing hat-trick after 7f wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton; 1m should suit; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (11/4 +45%)Jazzy Baby |
11/4(+45%) | (6) Jazzy Baby 11/4, Quickened nicely and scored comfortably when winning a maiden here by 1 1/4l last time. Effective at 8f; consistent and a likeable type with more to come. Ready C&D win four weeks ago; needs more in a handicap but she still has potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/2 +0%)True Colors |
9/2(+0%) | (3) True Colors 9/2, Below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Lingfield last time, having been in good form prior. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time; needs more to defy this mark dropping in trip. Two wins last year; latest run not as bad as the distance beaten suggests; headgear on now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +7%)Great Mates |
13/2(+7%) | (4) Great Mates 13/2, Ran to form on handicap debut when beaten 1/2l off this mark at Newcastle last time. Effective over 8-9f, and has been consistent so can go well again. 8.6f novice winner in November; too keen when second on handicap debut latest; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (17/2 -89%)Summer Heat |
17/2(-89%) | (5) Summer Heat 17/2, Ran to form when beaten 2l off this mark here last time. Effective over 7-10f and in good form, but must settle better back up in trip. Second over 7f here on stable debut two weeks ago; up in class but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (22/1 -83%)Mollie Foster |
22/1(-83%) | (1) Mollie Foster 22/1, Lacked pace down in trip when beaten 7l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Effective over 6-8f, and a step back up in distance could see her resume progress. 1-1 over this trip; never dangerous on stable debut last month; down in class; chance. |

ALL MOONSHINE has improved with each start, winning the last two of them, and Andrew Balding's filly merits the utmost respect on her handicap debut as a mark of 80 could prove to be very lenient. Great Mates has to be noted after hitting the crossbar off this mark last time, while Jazzy Baby and Summer Heat are others with strong claims.

All six can have their case argued but ALL MOONSHINE should have more to offer at this new trip and she can complete her hat-trick.

(7) (9/5 +35%)Kullazain |
9/5(+35%) | (7) Kullazain 9/5, Improved and finished strongly when landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by 5f and 6f, he can go well from this higher mark. Strong form when winning at Wolverhampton in December (well backed); good chance up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (5/2 +44%)El Bodon |
5/2(+44%) | (1) El Bodon 5/2, Was a bit keen but returned to his best when landing a sprint handicap by 1 1/4l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Off a short break and effective at 6f and 7f, he has a chance if building on that run. Well placed when winning over C&D latest; 6lb rise demands more but it's not impossible. |

(3) (13/2 -117%)Stratusnine |

Drawn wide but effective at 6f and 7f, he can have a say. Impressive at Wolverhampton in December (6f); excuse next time; big player despite draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +28%)We Never Stop |
13/2(+28%) | (2) We Never Stop 13/2, Ran to form but did not get home when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Effective at 6f and on a competitive mark, he could be involved. 1lb lower than for last April's big win at Newcastle; can't be dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 -20%)Carbine Harvester |
12/1(-20%) | (6) Carbine Harvester 12/1, Below form when dropped in trip and beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Newcastle last time. Had been in good form previously and is suited by 6f, with the return to this distance in his favour. Good record over C&D; below par dropped back to 5f latest; better expected today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (12/1 +25%)Eminency |
12/1(+25%) | (5) Eminency 12/1, Finished below form when 13th, beaten 5 1/4l off 88 last time, and runs from the same mark here. Effective at 6f and 7f, but a bounce back is required. Ended 2025 on the up and ran a cracker on New Year's Day; form dipped last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 -50%)Bolo Neighs |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Bolo Neighs 18/1, Ran to form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective at 6f and now down to a competitive mark, he should not be discounted. Second to a runaway winner at Lingfield last month; now has something to build on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (25/1 -150%)Tiger Crusade |
25/1(-150%) | (8) Tiger Crusade 25/1, Travelled well and was suited by a step back up in trip when landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Trainer is in form, though he drops back in trip and has a wide draw. Ran on well to win a 7f Class 4 at Lingfield last month; up 2lb in a stronger race here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (28/1 -56%)Intervention |
28/1(-56%) | (9) Intervention 28/1, Again below form when sixth, beaten 5l off 85 last time, but is 2lb lower here. Effective at 6f and 7f, his mark continues to fall but he needs to bounce back. Fair mark and well drawn but well beaten on his last three starts. |

EL BODON is unbeaten on the all-weather and that includes a C&D victory on his most recent start in December. A 6lb rise for that success should be workable and the son of Churchill can add another victory to his record. Bolo Neighs' second at Lingfield last time was more encouraging and he edges out Tiger Crusade and Kullazain to be best of the rest.

Stratusnine and KULLAZAIN (nap) are both sprinters to keep onside and James Tate's 4yo has fared better with the draw this time.

(7) (3/1 -20%)Rajinoora |
3/1(-20%) | (7) Rajinoora 3/1, Ran to form despite early trouble when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Her trainer is in form, she is effective at 7f to 9f on the all-weather, and another good run is likely. 7f turf win last summer; running well in defeat this winter but stamina a question mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 +13%)Veraison |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Veraison 7/2, Was a bit keen and did not stay when beaten 6l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Had been in good form prior, is best over 10f to 12f, and a drop in trip may help. Trip perhaps excuses latest effort; good C&D form on last two Kempton visits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (4/1 +56%)Connie Moon |
4/1(+56%) | (9) Connie Moon 4/1, Ran to form when tried in a visor, beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective up to 10f to 12f on the all-weather and may yet do better. 0-8 but the odd promising effort, including in a visor latest; Rossa Ryan booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (13/2 +46%)Aiming High |
13/2(+46%) | (2) Aiming High 13/2, Did her best work late when running to form, beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Usually held up, she is effective from 9f to 12f and a step back up in trip may help. Uninspiring form figures but last two efforts easy enough to excuse; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/1 +36%)Caramay |
7/1(+36%) | (3) Caramay 7/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l off a mark of 73 last time, and is 1lb lower here. Effective over 10f to 11f on the all-weather and has a good chance again back up in trip. Unsuited by dropping to 8.6f latest; earlier efforts bring her right into the reckoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 -80%)Lilly Lux |
9/1(-80%) | (6) Lilly Lux 9/1, Produced her best effort since arriving in Britain when beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Effective up to 12f on the all-weather and has a good chance if building on that run. Best run for new yard when second at Southwell last month (1m3f); chance if building on it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (14/1 -56%)Miss Herschel |
14/1(-56%) | (1) Miss Herschel 14/1, Again below form when well beaten up in trip in a novice here last time. Trained by a top course handler and effective over 10f on the all-weather, but stamina for this distance still has to be proven. First two runs were promising but next two less persuasive; unexposed now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (16/1 -78%)Alibey |
16/1(-78%) | (5) Alibey 16/1, Well beaten again when fourth, beaten 21l in a maiden at Lingfield last time. Wears a hood for the first time and is effective around 12f on the all-weather, with more to come now handicapping. In and out in four runs for W Haggas; sold 14,000gns in December; hooded for stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (50/1 -213%)Alta Rica |
50/1(-213%) | (8) Alta Rica 50/1, Found little and ran below form when down the field in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Wears a visor for the first time, is effective over 10f on the all-weather, and needs to bounce back. Promise on penultimate start but ran poorly latest; new headgear tried today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (125/1 -213%)Miss Chester |
125/1(-213%) | (10) Miss Chester 125/1, Found nil when down the field in a handicap here last time. Returns from a break, is effective at 7f on the all-weather, and has a bit to prove at present. 7f maiden win here last May; struggled in handicaps and stamina to prove. |

RAJINOORA stretches out in trip for this assignment and might be worth another chance following her last-start second at Wolverhampton. Lilly Lux also claimed second last time at Southwell and comes in here boasting every chance, while Miss Herschel is interesting on her return to action and so is handicap debutant Alibey sporting a first-time hood for a shrewd yard.

Aiming High has a better chance than her form figures suggest but CARAMAY is preferred now stepping back up in trip.

(8) (2/1 +56%)Portoro |
2/1(+56%) | (8) Portoro 2/1, Well backed when beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. The trainer is in form and, despite a wide draw, he remains consistent on the Flat and is considered again off this mark. C&D winner; met trouble over C&D last week; should be in the thick of it again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 +25%)Token Gesture |
5/2(+25%) | (2) Token Gesture 5/2, Showed a good attitude when promoted to first place, landing a handicap by a nose off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 7/8f with all worthwhile form on the all-weather. Both wins have come here, the latest over a mile last month; respected up 2lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/2 +25%)Vizzavona Lady |
9/2(+25%) | (6) Vizzavona Lady 9/2, Did her best work late when running to form in fourth, beaten 3l off 64 last time, and is 2lb lower here. Effective at 7/8f on the all-weather and can again go well. C&D win last month; fair fourth one week later and she should remain competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (6/1 -9%)Yehudi |
6/1(-9%) | (7) Yehudi 6/1, Was a bit too free when lit up by first-time blinkers, beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 7–9f on the all-weather and has a chance. 0-13 but he has been threatening this winter; cheekpieces return today; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (7/1 -56%)My Boy Harry |
7/1(-56%) | (1) My Boy Harry 7/1, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time. Effective over 7/8f and in fine form, he can again go well. Arrives in top form and 7f on Polytrack no issue; should be in the thick of it again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (16/1 -45%)Twirler |
16/1(-45%) | (3) Twirler 16/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Suited by 6/7f and respected once again. Two 6f wins on turf last July; placed twice at Lingfield last month; respected back at 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (40/1 -186%)Suzuka |
40/1(-186%) | (4) Suzuka 40/1, Found little and ran below form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Effective over 8/9f on the all-weather but a bounce back is needed. 8.6f winner for former yard; two low-key runs for new yard last month; something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (50/1 -127%)Koge |
50/1(-127%) | (5) Koge 50/1, Put in a poor effort when down in trip, finishing down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford most recently. Drawn wide and off a short break, he needs to bounce back. Well-beaten 50-1 shot on December's stable debut; gelded since; plenty to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (100/1 -355%)Walking On Clouds |
100/1(-355%) | (9) Walking On Clouds 100/1, Was a no-show from off the pace when well beaten in a handicap at Lingfield latest. Best at 6f on the all-weather and a bounce back is needed. On a lowly mark but well beaten in two runs for his new yard; betting instructive. |

A tough handicap finale for punters to solve and it might be best to stick with MY BOY HARRY, a course scorer who has won two of his last three starts. Token Gesture won over 1m here last time and his supporters will be pleased to see that Hollie Doyle keeps the ride, while Portoro isn't without a chance in this company.

A competitive race but PORTORO is better than he could show here last week and he gets the vote ahead of Twirler.

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.
