25/1(25/1) | (9) Schrodinger's Cat 25/1, Lacked pace, below form beaten 8l in a handicap at Catterick last time; suited by 5f, doesn't stay 6f, acts on sound surface; mark easing but soft ground a worry. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (2/1 +20%)Al Shabab Storm |
2/1(+20%) | (1) Al Shabab Storm 2/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off this mark at York last time; effective 5-7f, acts on heavy, good to firm and AW; in fine form and should again go well down to 5f with mark left alone. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(8) (5/1 +0%)Milford |
5/1(+0%) | (8) Milford 5/1, Found little, below form beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap at Ayr last time; effective at 6/7f, acts on heavy and good to firm; drop to 5f might suit on this ground. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (13/2 +7%)Ancient State |
13/2(+7%) | (4) Ancient State 13/2, Bit keen in new headgear combo fifth beaten 2l off 90 last time, 1lb lower here; effective at 5/6f, acts on heavy and good to firm; has been in fine form, can again go well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (8/1 +33%)Sovereign Spell |
8/1(+33%) | (5) Sovereign Spell 8/1, Outclassed in hot contest finishing down the field in a handicap at Ascot most recent; trainer in form; returning from a break; suited by 6f, acts on sound surface; looked useful sprint handicapper in spring, could bounce back down in class on reappearance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (10/1 -33%)Rosario |
10/1(-33%) | (7) Rosario 10/1, Back to form despite messing up start when third beaten 1 1/2l off 88 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 5/6f, acts on soft and good to firm; inconsistent but capable, wouldn't want ground too soft. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (12/1 +33%)Eternal Sunshine |
12/1(+33%) | (6) Eternal Sunshine 12/1, Below best when tenth beaten 5l off 88 last time, same mark here; suited by 5/6f, acts on sound surface; remains 4lb above last winning mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +0%)Luna A Inbhir Nis |

(10) (16/1 +0%)Boston Dan |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Boston Dan 16/1, Travelled, had to wait for a run, finished well when third beaten 2l off 81 last time, same mark here; best at 5f, acts heavy and good to firm; latest run upgraded, same mark here. |

Al Shabab Storm has solid claims on his close third in the Portland here last month, when KING OF LIGHT could only manage fifth. However, Stuart Williams' charge has subsequently won on testing ground at Haydock and with underfoot conditions in his favour once again, the son of Mehmas is fancied to turn the tables. Ancient State has a bit to find with the selection on running at Haydock but could still make the frame, while Boston Dan looks the pick of the remainder.

(5) (6/1 -9%)De Temps En Temps |
6/1(-9%) | (5) De Temps En Temps 6/1, Force to switch but returned to form benefitting from a more patient ride and longer trip beaten 1 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Ascot last time over hurdles; returning from long layoff; second run after wind op; effective 2-3m, acts on good to soft and good; generally in good form since move from Ireland, may do better over staying trips so this may be sharp enough test on chase debut. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(4) (11/1 +0%)Sogna In Grande |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Sogna In Grande 11/1, Outclassed up in grade when fourth beaten 28l in Gold Castle Novices' Hurdle (Listed) at Perth latest; effective 2m5f, acts on soft and good; useful prospect with more to offer now chasing for yard whose horses usually improve for fences, opening mark fair. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) (20/1 +9%)Ballykinlar |
20/1(+9%) | (10) Ballykinlar 20/1, Flattened out after series of errors, needed run when 17l third in a handicap chase at Hexham most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good; may need further than 2m over fences, should come on for latest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (28/1 +0%)Sony Bill |
28/1(+0%) | (6) Sony Bill 28/1, Taken on up front and found little when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow most recent; effective at 2m with cut, just about gets 2 1/2m; out of form for new yard. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (28/1 +15%)Kahavari |
28/1(+15%) | (11) Kahavari 28/1, Did it cosily, improved back down in trip landing a Josh Gifford Novice Handicap Chase by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Sandown last time; usually held up; effective 2m-2m5f, acts with cut and on good; inconsistent but capable, mark fair but may need this. |

Rockonliam landed a hat-trick when maintaining his unbeaten record over fences at Wexford. The six-year-old produced a career-best display on that occasion, although the combination of an 11lb hike and a drop back in trip requires more from him. Therefore, the vote goes to SPECTACULARSUNRISE, who got off the mark on his chasing debut at Perth and a 5lb rise seems more than fair. Lisbane Park is open to plenty of improvement going chasing for the first time, while similar comments apply to De Temps En Temps.

(3) (10/3 +5%)Burning Up |
10/3(+5%) | (3) Burning Up 10/3, Improved, finishing as if further than 8f would suit when second beaten 1 1/4l in Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2) at Newmarket latest; effective 8f, acts on soft and good to firm; conditions fine, more to come, chance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (8/1 -7%)Al Hudaiba |
8/1(-7%) | (1) Al Hudaiba 8/1, Scored with plenty in hand up to 8f when winning a Grade 1 at Woodbine by 2l last time; top course jockey; effective 6-8f, acts on a sound surface; this will be much tougher than his Canadian venture, now faced with soft ground, but has form claims. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (8/1 +11%)Sergei Diaghilev |
8/1(+11%) | (7) Sergei Diaghilev 8/1, Ran to form back up to 8f when second beaten a neck in Autumn Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket latest; suited by 7/8f, acts on good and fast ground; classy and reliable sort, should give his running if handling ground. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +9%)Gran Dia |
10/1(+9%) | (5) Gran Dia 10/1, Well on top late, looked promising when 2l winner in a novice at Salisbury on debut; effective 8f on good to soft; open to any amount of improvement for top yard up markedly in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (11/1 -10%)Breacher |
11/1(-10%) | (2) Breacher 11/1, Outpaced back on better ground, came home well, ran to form when 5l third in Champagne Stakes (Group 2) here most recent run; effective 7f, bred for 8f+, acts on good to soft and good to firm; crying out for this increased stamina test, could surprise. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 -29%)Giant Sequoia |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Giant Sequoia 18/1, Made plenty of use of, found little and disappointing first time on slightly easier surface when comfortably held in National Stakes (Group 1) at the Curragh last time; effective 7f, middle-distance bred, acts on sound surface; should be suited by more waiting ride over 8f, but ground a worry. |

Aidan O'Brien has won this 12 times and NOBLE EXHIBIT can add to his tally. The Beresford Stakes is usually a good pointer for this contest and the progressive son of Frankel landed the Curragh Group 2 in fine style last month. He looks set to make his mark at the highest level at the main expense of Burning Up. Karl Burke's promising colt scored on soft going prior to finding just one too good in the Royal Lodge at Newmarket, while Breacher and Al Hudaiba could fight it out for the remaining place.

(1) (5/4 +9%)Eazy Breezy |
5/4(+9%) | (1) Eazy Breezy 5/4, Yard won this last year; improved to get off the mark when winning a maiden at Tattersalls Farm by a length last time; effective 3m in points, acts with plenty of give; looks to have plenty of ability, good chance first start under rules. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (3/1 +0%)Cape Warrior |
3/1(+0%) | (4) Cape Warrior 3/1, Ran to the balance of form when second beaten 2 1/4l in a bumper here latest; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on a sound surface; very consistent and has ability, more to come over hurdles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/3 +26%)Jessmarvel |
10/3(+26%) | (5) Jessmarvel 10/3, Improved from debut effort 3l third in a 4yo bumper at Market Rasen most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft and good to soft; open to further progress switched to hurdles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 -14%)Royal March |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Royal March 4/1, Very promising runner-up beaten 3 1/2l in a bumper at Market Rasen only start; effective around 2m, acts on good; should have more to come over hurdles. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (40/1 -60%)Treshnish Point |
40/1(-60%) | (3) Treshnish Point 40/1, Showed very little well beaten in a bumper at Worcester only start; second run after wind op; off a short-break; dam closely related to Nom De Guerre, effective 2m4f over hurdles and 3m1f over fences; wind op before debut, major improvement needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (50/1 -25%)Oor Wish |
50/1(-25%) | (6) Oor Wish 50/1, Below debut level well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Perth latest; effective 2m4f on good; improvement needed to figure. |

JESSMARVEL makes his hurdling debut for the stable who are looking to win this for the fourth year in a row, and after his three length second in a Market Rasen bumper he clearly has ability. Gregor Walkingshaw claims 10lb off his back and that might give him the edge over stable companion Eazy Breezy, a point-to-point winner in Ireland who may be better over further. Cape Warrior has filled the runner-up spot on all three starts to date and completes the shortlist.

(3) (6/4 -9%)Road To Wembley |
6/4(-9%) | (3) Road To Wembley 6/4, Outpaced, looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle at Worcester latest; trainer in form; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good; consistent Flat stayer on sound surface, looks useful hurdler and a strong stayer, more to come. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (5/2 +9%)Newbrook Diamond |
5/2(+9%) | (2) Newbrook Diamond 5/2, Went clear, made too much use of beaten 5 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Worcester last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on heavy and good; consistent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (10/3 -21%)Kashchei |
10/3(-21%) | (1) Kashchei 10/3, Ran to form when second beaten 2 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on heavy and good; progressive, has experience edge, every chance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (13/2 +24%)Woodstock Octo |
13/2(+24%) | (5) Woodstock Octo 13/2, Ran to form when winning the Intermediate Point at Dunsmore by 7l on penultimate start; returning from long layoff; effective over 3m in points, acts on good to soft and good; multiple point winner, stiff task for rules debut. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (18/1 +36%)Landsborough |
18/1(+36%) | (4) Landsborough 18/1, Never involved when comfortably held in a bumper at Catterick last time; returning from long layoff; effective over 3m in points; longer trip should help on hurdle debut but this looks tough. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (80/1 +36%)Captain Connor |
80/1(+36%) | (6) Captain Connor 80/1, Travelled, ran to form but didn't find as much as looked likely 1 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Southwell most recent run; hood first time; effective at 2m-3m on good to soft and good to firm; inconsistent maiden, out of depth here. |

ROAD TO WEMBLEY appeared to have a valid excuse when struck into on his handicap hurdle debut at Worcester. Olly Murphy's gelding had won his three outings prior and the step up to 3m may unlock further improvement. Newbrook Diamond was behind the selection at the aforementioned venue in August but is more than capable of being in the mix, while Kashchei is unlikely to have any issue with the trip based on his latest second at Clonmel.

(1) (4/6 +8%)Bengal Tiger |
4/6(+8%) | (1) Bengal Tiger 4/6, Converted straightforward opening when easily winning a maiden at Naas by 12l last time; effective 6f, acts with give; further progress likely for top yard, good chance upped in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (4/1 -14%)Hi Corbett Court |
4/1(-14%) | (3) Hi Corbett Court 4/1, Seemed to improve up to 7f but might have been flattered by best of draw when second beaten 1/2l in a valuable 2yo race at the Curragh latest; trainer in form; effective 6/7f, acts on yielding and a sound surface; drop in trip not ideal now up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (9/1 +10%)Angels Passing |
9/1(+10%) | (4) Angels Passing 9/1, Ran to market expectations up in class when beaten 9 1/4l in Lowther Stakes (Group 2) at York last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good; form of maiden win modest, needs more at this level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (9/1 +0%)Crystal Queen |
9/1(+0%) | (6) Crystal Queen 9/1, Back to form down in grade, best work late when second beaten 3/4l in a nursery at Ayr latest; top course jockey; effective at 5/6f, acts on soft and fast ground; conditions fine, respected back up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (18/1 +18%)Elevating |
18/1(+18%) | (7) Elevating 18/1, Ran to form beaten 4 1/4l in Two Year Old Trophy (Listed) at Redcar last time; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft and good to firm; shown herself capable at this level, bit to prove on soft. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (22/1 +0%)Big Tribe |
22/1(+0%) | (2) Big Tribe 22/1, Knew job, good attitude, promising 1/2l winner in a maiden at Newcastle on debut; effective 6f on AW; looked nice prospect on debut, open to plenty of improvement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (22/1 +33%)Rogue Jewel |
22/1(+33%) | (8) Rogue Jewel 22/1, Outpaced up in class and down to 5f back on faster ground beaten 7 1/2l in Cornwallis Stakes (Group 3) at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; effective 6f, acts on soft and good to firm; step back up to 6f a big plus, chance here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (25/1 +0%)Big Hitter |
25/1(+0%) | (5) Big Hitter 25/1, Improved to get off the mark tried in tongue-tie when winning a maiden at Bath by 2l last time; effective 5/6f on soft and good to firm; plenty to find up markedly in grade but is open to further progress. |

This looks between the two Irish challengers, with BENGAL TIGER marginally preferred. The son of No Nay Never relished the soft ground when demolishing the opposition in a Naas maiden and the Ballydoyle colt can take this step up in class in his stride to edge out Hi Corbett Court. The latter drops back in trip with every chance on the back of a close second in the Goffs Million over 7f at the Curragh, while Crystal Queen makes more appeal than Angels Passing of the rest.

(1) (7/4 -8%)Society Soldier |
7/4(-8%) | (1) Society Soldier 7/4, Improved up in trip on handicap debut 10l third in a handicap hurdle at Ayr most recent run; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f-3m on soft and good to soft; progressive, more to come as a stayer over fences. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (7/2 -17%)Malayalam |
7/2(-17%) | (4) Malayalam 7/2, Not given a hard time on final qualifying run comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Ayr last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts with give; form of point win looks weak but could do better as a chaser. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (4/1 +11%)Realisation |
4/1(+11%) | (2) Realisation 4/1, Ran to form 32l third in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter most recent run; stays 3 1/4m, acts on good to soft and good; consistent, form franked, can go well again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(3) (9/2 +0%)Suspected |
9/2(+0%) | (3) Suspected 9/2, Ran to form up in trip 9l third in a handicap hurdle at Perth most recent run; stays 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft and good; progressing, unexposed over staying trips, could have more to come over fences. |

Just five runners could see this turn tactical but if REALISATION runs to his best he could make the journey up north worthwhile for the Charlie Longsdon team. One win from 11 starts over fences fails to inspire but he has placed on numerous occasions and looks the most reliable here for a yard in good form. Suspected has won over hurdles but there is no guarantee he will take to fences though if he does he is a danger to all, while Society Soldier is open to progression on just his fifth start under Rules.

11/1(+21%) | (8) Champagne Chic 11/1, No obvious excuse when down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m-2m7f, acts on any; handicapper may have caught up. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

22/1(+0%) | (18) No More Bolero 22/1, Improved up in trip benefitting from patient ride off strong pace landing a handicap by 5l off a 7lb lower mark at Hereford last time; effective 2m-3m1f, acts on soft and good to firm; formerly useful in Germany, progressive over hurdles, could complete hat trick. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) (22/1 +12%)Gold For Alec |
22/1(+12%) | (17) Gold For Alec 22/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest when set for a place; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on soft and good; bit more needed in tougher race. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ace Of Spades was progressive last season until his form tailed off at the spring festivals. Dan Skelton's charge is 4lb higher than for his last victory at Huntingdon in January and has to enter the reckoning. Idaho Fire seeks a hat-trick of victories after benefiting from a step up in trip at Uttoxeter in July, but preference is for SEANIECON. The five-year-old did well in the circumstances to finish fifth at Punchestown and appears to be on a workable mark.

(2) (15/2 -7%)Shadow King |

NATIONAL HONOUR finished second to a smart type on his introduction at Newmarket and hasn't looked back since, defeating subsequent winners at Thirsk and Kempton. Charlie Appleby's colt has a mark of 90 to defy on his nursery debut but he looks more than capable, while his pedigree offers plenty of encouragement that he'll have no problem with the forecast ground conditions. The recently-gelded Shadow King might do better back at this venue, and Scienza is preferred to Rock Steady Beat.

Achille Des Rocs bounced back to form to finish second at Hexham and he could run into a place once again if the switch of headgear sees him improve. BALLYFORT has to give weight away to all of his rivals but he won this last year off a mark 2lb lower and was last seen finishing a three-length second at Ayr in a much better race. A repeat of that should see him home in front, with Garde Des Champs the suggestion for the minor placing.

20/1(+0%) | (9) Neo King 20/1, Pulled up in Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter latest where didn't stay having briefly threatened; suited by 3m+ with plenty of cut; generally consistent. |

A chance is taken on KATATE DORI making a winning return. Better judged on a good second on the New Course in January than his most recent start when he pulled up in the Scottish National, the Sam Thomas-trained gelding is an effective stayer who should appreciate every drop of rain that falls. Mt Fugi Park is an obvious danger having won three of his last four starts, while Here Comes Georgie is also noteworthy on his debut for the Skeltons and first go after wind surgery.

(6) (25/1 -14%)Boston Jury |
25/1(-14%) | (6) Boston Jury 25/1, Never threatened but not disgraced on stable debut well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; effective at around 2 1/2m, needs sound surface; needs to come on for latest. |

Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore's yard has won two of the last three renewals and there is every chance that TWO AULD PALS can add his name to the roster. Ground versatile, the consistent eight-year-old has a decent win and place strike-rate over hurdles and appeals having been nudged down 1lb since his last run. Ashdown Forest boasts convincing form figures but a 6lb rise for his Stratford win means another personal best is required. Scots Poet and Character Testing are others to consider.

7/1(-8%) | (4) Shipbourne 7/1, Improved for first handicap win by 3 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; more to come from this exceptionally well-bred gelding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) (15/2 +6%)Desperate Dan |
15/2(+6%) | (8) Desperate Dan 15/2, Won this last year; never in it after a slow start and comfortably held in a handicap at Haydock last time; blinkers first time; effective 8f, best with lots of give, acts on good; mark looks fair, chance of a bounce back on suited conditions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) (10/1 +9%)Godwinson |
10/1(+9%) | (1) Godwinson 10/1, Ran to this season's form beaten 6l in a handicap at Goodwood last time; off a short-break; effective 8f, acts on good to soft and AW; no surprise if he returned to form from a reduced mark here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (14/1 +13%)Mr Professor |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Mr Professor 14/1, Didn't finish off race, below form beaten 5l in a handicap at Ripon last time; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 8/9f, acts with give and on AW; capable from this mark but bounce back needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Better was expected of Desperate Dan at Haydock, but he was ultimately caught too far back and failed to land a blow. He did win this from his current mark 12 months ago and first-time blinkers could sharpen him up, although preference is for ANYASI. Roger Varian's dual novice winner hit the woodwork last time and a mile looks sure to unlock further improvement from the low-mileage three-year-old. Southwell victor Shipbourne is progressive and warrants close inspection, while it would be unwise to rule out last year's Lincoln winner Godwinson because he's dropped to an appealing mark.

9/2(+10%) | (1) One Horse Town 9/2, Game having done plenty early, improved up in trip when second beaten a head in a Flat handicap at Salisbury latest; effective 2m on good; useful hurdler, has reached level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (6/1 +0%)La Luna Artista |
6/1(+0%) | (2) La Luna Artista 6/1, Bit keen in front but ran to form off big weight on handicap debut 2 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle at Sandown most recent run; trainer in form; effective 2m, acts on good to soft and good to firm; very useful filly, bit more to come this term. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) (33/1 +18%)In The Minus |
33/1(+18%) | (4) In The Minus 33/1, Too much to do having conceded first run, improved up in trip when second beaten 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe latest; usually held up; effective 2-2 3/4m, acts on soft, good; progressive but vulnerable at this level. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (66/1 +18%)Tunisya |
66/1(+18%) | (7) Tunisya 66/1, May have found ground too quick when down the field in a novice hurdle at Bangor-on-Dee most recent; effective 2m, acts on heavy; French winner likely capable of much better when settling but this looks too tough. |

LORD BYRON was a respectable fifth in last season's Triumph Hurdle when a few of the others were beating a retreat while he was running on at the finish. The return to Prestbury Park might just pique his interest and a better effort can be expected than he posted when sixth in the Persian War at Chepstow. North Shore was two places ahead of the selection in that Grade 2 event, but will need to significantly better his 12th-placed finish in the Triumph. Indian River and One Horse Town are others to bear in mind.

2025 Ultima hero Myretown's jumping let him down on more than one occasion last season and he comes into this campaign with something to prove. In his favour, Patrick Wadge takes over in the saddle for the first time since their finest hour, but preference is for MUMFORD'S MAGIC. He produced his best performance to date with a comfortable success at Southwell and is taken to handle a 7lb rise. New Order is the pick of the other two.

5/1(+0%) | (6) Shafdar 5/1, Lacked pace down in trip, rallied, should have finished closer when 12th beaten 5l off 93 in the Cambridgeshire last time, 1lb lower here; effective 8-10f, acts with give, on good and AW; progressive over this trip previously, can go well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(7) (15/2 +6%)Janey Mackers |
15/2(+6%) | (7) Janey Mackers 15/2, Too much to do at sharp track behind pair who dominated the contest when 5 1/4l third in a handicap at Chester most recent run; suited by 10f, acts best with give; has a bigger effort in her yet, ground will suit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (9/1 +0%)A Major Payne |
9/1(+0%) | (9) A Major Payne 9/1, Ran to form landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Goodwood last time; off a short-break; effective 10f, acts on any; in very good form, should remain competitive up in grade. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) (10/1 +0%)Pearl Eye |
10/1(+0%) | (16) Pearl Eye 10/1, Travelled, ran to form down to 10f when second beaten a length off 80 last time, 5lb higher here; suited by 10-13f, acts on heavy, good to firm and AW; tough gelding should go well once more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (11/1 +0%)Ultrasoul |
11/1(+0%) | (3) Ultrasoul 11/1, Didn't stay 11f when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 7-10f, acts on heavy, good to firm and AW; dropping in trip and previously progressive gelding could return to form. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(5) (14/1 -17%)Principality |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Principality 14/1, Didn't see out 9f, held when hampered when 20th beaten 7l off 91 last time, 1lb higher here; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy and good to firm; not easily fancied with stamina a doubt. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (14/1 +0%)Have Secret |
14/1(+0%) | (12) Have Secret 14/1, Found little, below form beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; effective at 10f, acts on heavy, good and AW; below last winning mark, but needs more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

An open contest in which a chance can be taken on SHAFDAR. Ian Williams' gelding scored with something in hand on soft ground at Chester before emerging from the Cambridgeshire with credit, and he would have finished closer if he hadn't encountered traffic problems. He might need some luck today too and there are plenty of challengers, including bottom-weight Pearl Eye, who continued his good form with a creditable second at York. Janey Mackers is one to keep an eye on following a summer break, while Goodwood scorer A Major Payne is another who must enter calculations.

9/4(+10%) | (4) Derryhassen Paddy 9/4, Mistakes, did not find much up the hill after bad error when second beaten 4 1/4l in a beginners chase chase at Ayr latest; returning from long layoff; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by cut; classy novice hurdler, more to come over fences now stepped up in trip, the one to beat despite lay off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (9/4 +0%)Catchintsavo |
9/4(+0%) | (3) Catchintsavo 9/4, Yard won this last year; improved up in trip under positive ride, had run of race when second beaten 3l in Sefton Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1) at Aintree latest; effective 2m2f-3m suited by decent ground; bumper and hurdles form strong, progressive and likely more to come over fences as a stayer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/4 +0%)Butch Cassidy |

(6) (6/1 +14%)Turndlightsdownlow |
6/1(+14%) | (6) Turndlightsdownlow 6/1, Keen, jumped boldly, taken on up front and did plenty early, ran to form on chase debut but fitness gave way late when second beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Worcester latest; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on good; progressive hurdler, more to come over fences, should come on for latest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) (10/1 +0%)Kasino Des Mottes |
10/1(+0%) | (5) Kasino Des Mottes 10/1, Disappointing handicap debut when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter most recent; effective 2m5f-3m, acts on soft and good; in good form over hurdles last winter, more to come over fences but looks out of depth. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (12/1 +25%)Follow Your Luck |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Follow Your Luck 12/1, Outpaced, rallied, ran to form when winning a handicap chase at Perth by a neck last time; trainer in form; effective 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft and good; more to come over fences, likely to get further but vulnerable in this grade. |

Anthony Honeyball trained the winner last year with Leave Of Absence and he has a solid chance again with the consistent CATCHINTSAVO, twice a winner over hurdles and second in the Sefton at Aintree in April. Likely to be well schooled, he looks set for a good season and is preferred to Butch Cassidy. The winner of his last two, Henry de Bromhead's six-year-old has an experience edge but may fall a fraction short under his penalty. Derryhassen Paddy is another to consider in an intriguing contest.

11/8(11/8) | (1) Blake's Monarch 11/8, Ran to form, narrowly denied on handicap debut beaten 1/2l off a 1lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; suited by 5f, stays 6f, acts on sound surface; going well since wind op and addition of tongue-tie, should go very close again. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (9/4 +0%)Bill The Bull |
9/4(+0%) | (2) Bill The Bull 9/4, Returned to form back down in trip landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; effective 5/6f, acts on both sides of good and AW; should go well again despite revised mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (7/2 +13%)Space Dreamer |
7/2(+13%) | (3) Space Dreamer 7/2, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Bath penultimate start; bit below best on heavy ground, market expected better on hat-trick attempt fifth beaten 6 1/4l off 77 last time, same mark here; effective 5f, acts on a sound surface; could bounce back switched to AW, but mark may be high enough. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

9/2(+10%) | (4) Undercover Affair 9/2, Below form again down the field in a nursery at Nottingham most recent; effective 5/6f, acts on any; 2lb below last winning mark, but form has tailed off. |

BLAKE'S MONARCH won by two lengths at Redcar and only went under by a half-length to Bill The Bull (2lb worse off) last time out at Newcastle. If he gets a soft lead as expected, Jack Callan could set his own fractions to come home in front. Space Dreamer got stuck in the mud when fifth at Hamilton, but should be far better suited to conditions here.

(2) (5/2 +38%)Newtown Rambler |
5/2(+38%) | (2) Newtown Rambler 5/2, Made too much use of and pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen latest; improved again, landed hat-trick when winning a handicap chase by 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Uttoxeter penultimate start; enjoys making it; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; progressive over fences and could still be ahead of mark seeking four-timer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1) (13/2 +19%)The Other Mozzie |
13/2(+19%) | (1) The Other Mozzie 13/2, Below best again down in grade tried in a visor well beaten in a handicap chase at Perth latest; effective around 2m, suited by sound surface; 3lb below last winning mark, but needs a lot more than has shown of late. |

Newtown Rambler didn't seem to appreciate the return to hurdling when pulled up at Market Rasen, but his form over fences would give him obvious claims of bouncing back. Coup De Coeur went up 3lb for his Cartmel victory in May and enters calculations, but a chance is taken with fencing newcomer SMOKE TRAIL. Both his hurdle wins came at this track, including on this card 12 months ago, and the five-year-old has the credentials to make up into a better chaser.

(13) (13/2 +24%)Golden Pharaoh |
13/2(+24%) | (13) Golden Pharaoh 13/2, Ran to current form beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Yarmouth last time; effective 7/8f, acts on heavy, good to firm and AW; needs more off current mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (9/1 -6%)It Just Takes Time |
9/1(-6%) | (1) It Just Takes Time 9/1, Back to best tried in visor landing a handicap by a length off a 4lb lower mark at Catterick last time; effective 5-7f, acts on soft and good to firm; chance if building on latest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(12) (12/1 +14%)Beale Street |
12/1(+14%) | (12) Beale Street 12/1, Ran to form, good attitude landing a handicap by a nose off a 3lb lower mark here last time; returning from a break; suited by 6/7f on a sound surface; remains competitive weighted, ground a worry though. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(2) (14/1 +0%)Bell Shot |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Bell Shot 14/1, Found little, below form beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; trainer in form; enjoys making it; effective 6/7f, acts on sound surface, may be a fraction better on AW; on a competitive mark if bouncing back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(10) (16/1 +11%)Cotai Belle |
16/1(+11%) | (10) Cotai Belle 16/1, Well below form on deep ground when down the field in a handicap at Ayr most recent; in good form prior; suited by 6/7f, could get further, acts on both sides of good; ground again a worry here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (22/1 +21%)Spy Kingdom |
22/1(+21%) | (7) Spy Kingdom 22/1, Another poor effort down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; effective 8/9f on a sound surface; in shocking form since returning from Dubai. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) (25/1 +0%)Cargin Bhui |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Cargin Bhui 25/1, Never in it after a slow start beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Pontefract last time; usually held up; effective 6/7f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; mark high enough, ground a worry. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (25/1 +0%)Ceo Stealth Mode |
25/1(+0%) | (9) Ceo Stealth Mode 25/1, Lacked pace, ran to form beaten 4l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time; effective 6/7f, acts on good and AW; stiffer test of stamina back on turf might suit here. |

BEALE STREET finally got his head in front on turf over C&D in June and the five-year-old, who has been in fine fettle during 2026, makes plenty of appeal off a 3lb higher mark. Quest For Fun has been running consistently well in recent months and has to enter calculations once again, while others for the shortlist include It Just Takes Time and Crown Office.

(6) (5/2 +17%)Ballycrystal Boy |
5/2(+17%) | (6) Ballycrystal Boy 5/2, Promising effort 2l winner in a maiden point at Borris House on debut; trainer in form; effective over 3m in points; form of point win franked over hurdles in Ireland, likely type. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) (10/3 -11%)Newgrove |
10/3(-11%) | (12) Newgrove 10/3, Promising effort when 13l winner in a maiden point at Tyrella on debut; effective 3m in points; form of point win looks decent, has joined top yard, likely type. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(2) (10/1 +29%)Littlebobbydazzler |

(9) (14/1 +30%)Freetobe |
14/1(+30%) | (9) Freetobe 14/1, Yard won this last year; promising effort runner-up beaten 4l in a maiden point at Ballinaboola only start; returning from long layoff; effective 2 1/2m in points; point win franked under rules, yard gets plenty of first time out bumper winners. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) (16/1 +20%)Cask Of Pimlico |
16/1(+20%) | (7) Cask Of Pimlico 16/1, 70,000 euros breeze-up purchase by No Risk At All; half-brother to Rayna's World, smart from 17f to 19f; tongue-tie first time; probably best watched in hot contest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) (25/1 +11%)Ask Millie |
25/1(+11%) | (13) Ask Millie 25/1, Promising effort when 3 1/2l winner in a maiden point at Ballyknock on debut; effective over 3m in points; form of point win nothing special, more needed to figure on rules debut. |

Fergal O'Brien targets this race, winning four of the last nine runnings, and although he has three declared in 2026, point-to-point second Freetobe may be the pick. He is worth a market watch, but Dan Skelton's NEWGROVE gets the nod. Successful between the flags in March and part-owned by the trainer, his breeding suggests he will have the speed needed for this trip. Ask Millie sold for 40,000 euros after landing an Irish point so makes the shortlist, as does dual bumper winner I've Got A Friend.

(2) (4/1 +20%)Lets Mingle |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Lets Mingle 4/1, Didn't stay 3m well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; effective 2m-2m6f, acts on soft and good; drop back in distance will suit and 1lb below last winning mark, but needs to bounce back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) (4/1 +33%)Ebselysees |

(8) (7/1 +13%)Berwick Law |

(7) (10/1 +9%)Maillot Blanc |
10/1(+9%) | (7) Maillot Blanc 10/1, Needed run, stiff mark well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Perth latest; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on soft, good; in good form until last couple of starts, more needed off this mark. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) (12/1 +25%)Punxsutawney Phil |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Punxsutawney Phil 12/1, Stopped quickly and pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow latest; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts on soft, good to soft and good; inconsistent, needs a lot more. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) (12/1 +25%)Burgundy Man |
12/1(+25%) | (9) Burgundy Man 12/1, Taken on up front and did plenty early comfortably held in a handicap chase at Perth last time; effective 3m, acts on soft, good; out of form, needs a lot more back over hurdles. |

A tricky contest on paper and only a tentative vote can go to SUMMERGROUNDS. The 10-year-old has been running creditably during the summer months and the extra distance could yield some improvement. Maillot Blanc is only 2lb higher than when dead-heating here in May and is capable of a decent showing, while Bold Light and Evenwood Sonofagun are others to note.

Moulin Booj breaks from the one stall, which should allow the dual C&D winner the chance to drop in behind the early pace to produce a challenge, although he has been put up 3lb for his latest victory and needs a career best. BONA FORTUNA justified favouritism at Wolverhampton by a neck last month and although upped 2lb, Luke Morris keeps the partnership intact and they could well follow up. Shes Got A Brother is unbeaten here so is worth some thought.

28/1(+15%) | (13) Invincible Boy 28/1, Ran to current form beaten 8l in a handicap at York last time; effective at 6/7f, acts with give and on good; could have a say off current mark. |

Tolstoy fared best of those who reoppose from a York handicap earlier in the month, having finished third on that occasion, and the Leger Legends winner commands plenty of respect. However, the vote goes to recent Ayr winner STANAGE, who took advantage of a falling handicap mark and may well strike again. King's School and Feel The Need complete the shortlist.

Hickton won this last year and although he was a very poor seventh on soft ground at Hamilton, a return to the all-weather could see a much better effort. Miss Veronika intrigues after two bumpers were followed by three starts over five to seven furlongs, but the consistent MASEGO might be the one. A winner at Leopardstown in May and placed three times since, he has his first run for Tony Carroll and gets the nod.

Ring Of Music shaped with real promise on his debut and looks certain to put that experience to good use, but it might not be enough if NATIONAL ANTHEM is forward enough. The Camelot colt is related to a couple of smart sprinters, but he's also a half-brother to French Group 2 (1m2f) winner Baroud and his dam is a half-sister to Order Of Australia. The Gosdens' charge will need to negotiate a wide draw, but he's worth chancing. Political Resident is also noted.

50/1(+0%) | (9) Stellar Max 50/1, Showed very little again beaten 9l in a novice at Yarmouth last time; bred to be suited by 1m+; hasn't beat a rival in two starts, one for handicaps. |

GEOMETRY was almost able to right the wrongs of a slightly disappointing introduction when touched off here and he should relish the step up to a mile so is expected to break his duck. Dubawi colt Kings Medal went unsold at the breeze-ups in May, but there is more than enough in his pedigree to suggest that he'll be a key player. Frankel colt Jebayli, whose dam is a sister to Benbatl and a half-sister to Guineas heroine Elmalka, is another to consider.

(14) (18/1 +18%)Rogue Desire |
18/1(+18%) | (14) Rogue Desire 18/1, Found nil, didn't stay 2m when well beaten in a handicap here latest; yet to probably find suitable conditions; all to prove back down in trip. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Kev notched up a second career success at Wolverhampton and is likely to be one of the leading candidates along with African Spirit, who was also triumphant at Dunstall Park last time. Lili Marleen is anything but consistent but she went close here and would be on the premises with a reproduction, although the vote still goes to CROWN THE FUTURE. Tony Carroll's three-year-old was an impressive winner at Wolverhampton and with Charlie Tucker's claim negating a 5lb rise, this could be another good opportunity.

Finn Ironside bids for a hat-trick on the back of recent wins at Newcastle. He has to be of interest, while Shaw Park also enters calculations having placed at the track on his last couple of outings. However, ANTHROPOLOGIST scored off today's mark on the Tapeta back in March and, having finished a close third when last seen over C&D during the summer, Michael Herrington's charge looks worthy of another chance.

7/4(+0%) | (2) Crystal Dark 7/4, Bit keen, forced to switch, ran to form when second beaten 3/4l in a novice at Redcar latest; effective 7f on AW; some speed on dam's side of pedigree so holds a chance down in trip. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) (11/2 +15%)Al Arraab |
11/2(+15%) | (1) Al Arraab 11/2, No match for useful looking rival, finished well, very promising effort runner-up beaten 6l in a novice at Haydock only start; off a short-break; effective 6f, acts on soft; debut form boosted, should improve for that experience if ridden slightly more positively. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

11/1(+0%) | (7) The Honey Thief 11/1, 1 May; 200,000gns Wootton Bassett colt; half-brother to Jazl, smart at 6f; dam useful at 6f and a winner on the AW; yard can get them ready first time but this a big ask. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Restless at the start before missing the break at Yarmouth, FLICK OF AN EYE failed to land the odds and has been gelded since. The son of Blackbeard could well bounce back in this, with a repeat of his debut third at Newbury probably good enough to see him off the mark. Runner-up over 7f in both starts so far, Crystal Dark could have a say over this shorter trip, while Hunstanton and Al Arraab are others to note.

UNCLE SAM has been threatening to resume winning ways. Ray Craggs' inmate went agonisingly close at Newcastle last month and it could be his turn again raised only 1lb for those exertions. Edmond Halley has also been thereabouts of late and he remains of interest with cheekpieces back on, while Piperstown should be sharper for his recent comeback having landed a double on the Tapeta back in the spring.

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.
