1st (8)  (6/4 +50%)Skyjack Hijack |
6/4(+50%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Skyjack Hijack 6/4, Progressing well for forcing tactics, following up his Cartmel win with a clear-cut success in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (3m, soft) 4 weeks ago, drawing clear from 2 out. This is a step up in class after a 10 lb rise but he looks sure to go well again. 12l win at Perth last time and has been raised 10lb but that probably underestimates him. |
|||
2nd (5)  (8/1 -14%)City Derby |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) City Derby 8/1, Completed a Cartmel 4-timer in staying handicaps this summer and ran at least as well in defeat when third at Perth (Idem second) last month. Clearly needs to pull out a bit more from current mark. Four-timer at Cartmel this summer; latest start suggests this mark might be a bit harsh. |
|||
3rd (2)  (3/1 -9%)Lihyan |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lihyan 3/1, Enjoying a good campaign, following up from Worcester (23f) with another improved performance to take Uttoxeter contest under this rider 3 weeks ago, doing well to come from last to first in a falsely-run race. Got to be respected in hat-trick bid. Comes from last, winning at Worcester and Uttoxeter on his last two starts. |
|||
4th (3)  (16/1 -14%)Bridge North |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bridge North 16/1, Went off the rails over fences but went with much more zest after the fitting of a visor/return to hurdling before taking a late fall at Doncaster (3m) in February when looking set to win. Failed to complete once again at Perth when last seen and clearly risky on return. Disappointing over fences last term; fell/unseated in two of three runs back over hurdles. |
|||
5th (6)  (4/1 +27%)Chris Cool |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Chris Cool 4/1, Generally solid record over hurdles and got back on the up when seeing off an unexposed rival (pair clear) at Huntingdon (25f) in April. Good third at Ludlow final start and respected on return having won first time up last season. Started and ended last season well in staying handicaps, finishing in career-best form. |
|||
6th (7)  (40/1 -100%)Polish |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Polish 40/1, Placed in a 3m Southwell hunter in March, but fell at Cheltenham next time and having left Fergal O'Brien went with no encouragement back handicapping at Cartmel 9 weeks ago. Hard to fancy back hurdling. Second run for this yard; highly questionable whether he can capitalise on a good mark. |
|||
7th (4)  (9/1 -6%)Invictus World |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Invictus World 9/1, Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner last season and ran well after 9 months off, especially as he was checked when coming with a threatening effort, at Hexham in June. Fell at Perth 2 months later and following a similar absence has stamina to prove up in class now. Fell in two handicaps, minor honours in the other two; first crack at 3m makes some appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
In a competitive event, marginal preference is for LIHYAN, who secured a double when scoring over 2m7f at Uttoxeter earlier in the month. A 3lb rise for that effort appears to be fair and the progressive six-year-old can make it a hat-trick. Skyjack Hijack has a similar profile to the selection and is an obvious danger, while City Derby and Chris Cool are others to note.
SKYJACK HIJACK and Lihyan are chasing hat-tricks and look the pair to focus on, with Jennie Candlish's lightly-raced hurdler selected. He took a big step forward when making all at Perth last month, that performance suggesting there is even better to come. Lihyan has more miles on the clock but has built up a good strike rate since the spring and can go well again. The returning Chris Cool is another to consider.
There are serious rivals but SKYJACK HIJACK (nap) makes plenty of appeal judged on his Perth win and is open to further improvement.

1st (5)  (3/1 +25%)Imperial Saint |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Imperial Saint 3/1, £40,000 purchase after an Irish point win. Followed up on 2m Ludlow hurdle debut for new yard in November and having made frame next 3 starts, he improved for the step up in trip when landing 10-runner Ffos Las handicap (20f) in April. Good prospect now chasing. Won over hurdles when last seen and this point winner could have more to offer now chasing. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3/1 +45%)Petit Tonnerre |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Petit Tonnerre 3/1, Useful hurdler at his best who didn't convince with his jumping tried chasing last season. Largely below his best over hurdles subsequently, latterly at Cartmel in June but returns to chasing potentially very well treated if he's improved in the jumping department. Disappointing on last two starts in May/June but on a dangerous mark on last season's best. |
|||
3rd (2)  (8/1 +0%)Parisencore |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Parisencore 8/1, Did the job well when opening chase account at Perth (2½m, good to firm) in June and arrives here on the back of a couple of solid placed efforts over the same C&D. Fact he's fit and in form ought to county for plenty here. Has run well in defeat at Perth the last twice and he might not be far away. |
|||
4th (6)  (12/1 -9%)Hidalgo De L'isle |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hidalgo De L'isle 12/1, Dual hurdles winner who showed improved form to make a winning chase debut at Newton Abbot (16.3f) in August and he matched that level when runner-up at Worcester (16.5f) 6 weeks ago. This looks tougher but he's going the right way. Won on chase debut in August and bumped into thriving winner last month; could be involved. |
|||
5th (1)  (7/1 -100%)Densworth |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Densworth 7/1, Bumper winner who made light of an 11-month absence when adding a third hurdles victory to his tally at Doncaster (16.6f, heavy) in March. Pulled at the Grand National meeting on final start in April but goes chasing on return with his yard going very nicely. One to note. Very in and out profile but has impressive 4-9 strike-rate; interesting on chase debut. |
|||
6th (4)  (9/2 +0%)Goodwin |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Goodwin 9/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who quickly reached a similar level in novice hurdles, again displaying a good attitude to make it 2 wins from 4 starts at Newbury (16.3f) in March. Boasts a positive profile now handicapping over fences and interesting if the market spoke in his favour. 2-4 in novice hurdles and he brings plenty of potential to this handicap/chase debut. |
|||
|RO| (7)  (11/2 -22%)Moveit Like Minnie |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Moveit Like Minnie 11/2, Fairly useful handicap hurdler around 2m and fine start over fences back from 6 months off when scoring at Stratford (17f) in September. Looked set to play a hand in finish when unseating 3 out at Ffos Las (2m, soft) 2 weeks ago and respected for stable in great order. Won with something to spare on chase debut and bang there when unseating 3 out last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GOODWIN accounted for a useful rival when taking a novice hurdle at Newbury on his final start last season and it would be no surprise to see him score on his chasing bow off a mark of 124. Parisencore has not been beaten far at Perth twice in recent months and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to consider are Imperial Saint and Hidalgo De L'isle.
A steadily improving sort over hurdles, IMPERIAL SAINT has the hallmarks of one who will make up in to an even better chaser this season (former point winner) so could be worth siding with on seasonal bow before market clues. Goodwin looked a likeable straightforward type himself over hurdles and is another to note on return. Fit and in-form pair Moveit Like Minnie and Parisencore are others to consider.
A tough little puzzle. Chasing newcomer DENSWORTH has an oscillating profile but has frequently looked very good and goes well fresh.

1st (4)  (3/1 +25%)Minella Drama |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Minella Drama 3/1, Smart performer who returned with a good second in this 12 months ago. Just the one decent effort after but this may be the time to catch him. (1 lb out of the handicap). Runs off a mark 6lb lower than when runner-up 12 months ago so is well worth a second look. |
|||
2nd (3)  (11/2 +0%)Hitman |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hitman 11/2, Failed to deliver last season but starts the new campaign off a fair mark and went close in this on his comeback 2 years ago. Tailed off in this 12 months ago but went very close in 2022; capable of having a big say. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/2 -22%)Ahoy Senor |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ahoy Senor 11/2, Top-class chaser on his day with a fine record here (Grade 1 winner over hurdles/fences) and ended last term with an excellent ½-length second of 7 in Bowl Chase at this course (25f, soft, 17/2). Record fresh not great but still warrants plenty of respect. He's needed his reappearance in last two seasons but has to be respected given record here. |
|||
4th (2)  (2/1 -23%)Stage Star |
2/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stage Star 2/1, Won Grade 1 Golden Miller at 2023 Festival and took form up another notch with victory in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on return last season. Can't have been right when pulled up there on New Year's Day before not disgraced in Ryanair final start. Goes well fresh so big run expected. Last November's Paddy Power Gold Cup winner who has an excellent reappearance record. |
|||
5th (5)  (4/1 +75%)Unexpected Party |
4/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Unexpected Party 4/1, Emerged with credit against some of the top-flight British novices of 2022/23 and bounced back to best when landing Grand Annual Chase at Cheltenham last season. Might have found Red Rum coming too soon here final start and not taken lightly despite being 3 lb out of the handicap. Won Grand Annual in March and record when fresh provides hope he'll be at top of his game. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
STAGE STAR disappointed on his final two starts last season but had been an impressive winner on his seasonal return in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. With that in mind, Paul Nicholls' gelding can be given another chance off what should be a workable mark. Ahoy Senor has a very good record at this venue, which includes a second in the Bowl when last seen in April. On that evidence, he could give the selection most to think about. The rest all have questions to answer, but Hitman is the pick of them.
STAGE STAR was an impressive winner of the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on his comeback run last season and this looks another good starting point for him. Minella Drama was a good second in this last year off a higher mark so may emerge as the biggest threat.
Stage Star is very tempting but preference is for MINELLA DRAMA who runs off a mark 6lb lower than when runner-up 12 months ago.

1st (6)  (11/5 -10%)Copperhead |
11/5(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Copperhead 11/5, Off 5 months before landing handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Back up 5 lb but he's not taken lightly in his hat-trick bid. Snapped long losing run in May and followed up at Chepstow recently; strong claims. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/1 -8%)Fortescue |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fortescue 7/1, Temperamental sort who came in 16th of 20 in handicap chase (50/1) at Sandown (28.7f, good) 6 months ago. It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2022. Runner-up in two veterans' chase at Newbury last March and races off the same mark today. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/1 -57%)Rapper |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rapper 11/1, Three-time winner over fences but wasn't the most consistent last term and only 17th of 20 in handicap chase (40/1) at Sandown (28.7f, good) final run. Needs to hit the ground running on his seasonal return. Returns on a handy mark; not ruled out but his reappearance record is a concern. |
|||
4th (7)  (5/1 +64%)Five Star Getaway |
5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Five Star Getaway 5/1, Winless since 2021 and off for 19 months since a below-par sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Newbury (22.4f). Has his fitness to prove. On attractive mark and he's one to watch in the betting, but has a hefty absence to defy. |
|||
5th (5)  (15/8 +53%)Torn And Frayed |
15/8(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Torn And Frayed 15/8, Winless last season but he signed off with a solid fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f, good) 6 months ago. Yard among the winners so he's a player off a reduced mark. Reappears on an attractive mark and with his trainer enjoying an excellent autumn. |
|||
6th (4)  (40/1 -60%)Diol Ker |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Diol Ker 40/1, A useful chaser for Gordon Elliott but he was pulled up on his yard debut at Chepstow 16 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. His mark continues to fall but for good reason; pulled up on recent stable debut. |
|||
7th (3)  (18/1 -200%)Cap Du Nord |
18/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cap Du Nord 18/1, Resumed winning ways at Perth in July and badly hampered 5 out when eleventh of 20 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 86 days ago. Not ruled out. Wins at Plumpton in March and at Perth in July and he's a possible player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Copperhead rounded off last season in good form and chases a hat-trick after returning with an emphatic victory in a similar veterans' series event at Chepstow 16 days ago. A 5lb higher mark looks fair and another bold showing is likely. However, FORTESCUE has been given a chance by the handicapper despite running well in defeat several times last term. Off 8lb below his last winning mark, Henry Daly's 10-year-old is an attractive proposition. The class-dropping Torn And Frayed can also figure.
TORN AND FRAYED hails from an in-form yard and resumes on an attractive mark so looks the way to go here. Joe Tizzard also has his string in great nick and his Copperhead rates the obvious threat in his hat-trick bid, with Cap du Nord appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
This could go to TORN AND FRAYED, who is on a reduced mark and represents the in-form Nigel Twiston Davies.

1st (2)  (11/10 +51%)Sunray Shadow |
11/10(+51%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sunray Shadow 11/10, Warwick bumper winner in May who shaped promisingly when third of 11 in a 2m novice hurdle there 5 months later. Looks sure to improve, particularly now stepping up in trip. Bumper winner who finished strongly for third over 2m on hurdle debut; key player. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7/4 +22%)Takt De Touques |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Takt De Touques 7/4, Winning pointer who looked a good prospect when completing a bumper-hat-trick between April and June. Taken to keep his winning run going now switching to hurdles. 3m point winner who was 3-3 in bumpers; exciting prospect for Northern Irish stable. |
|||
2nd (1)  (13/2 +0%)Emiyn |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Emiyn 13/2, Useful stayer at his best on the Flat. His last 2 runs in that sphere have been disappointing but he definitely has the ability to play a part if taking to this new discipline. Went close in the Chester Cup in May and entitled to considerable respect on hurdle debut. |
|||
4th (4)  (25/1 -178%)Chief Sunday |
25/1(-178%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chief Sunday 25/1, Down the field in 2 Warwick bumpers in the spring. Offered more when fourth of 6 in 2m Perth novice hurdle on last month's reappearance but he'll need to improve on that form to trouble a couple of these rivals. Fair fourth of six on hurdle debut at Perth but needs another step forward today. |
|||
5th (6)  (14/1 -87%)Rockchoeur |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rockchoeur 14/1, Placed in bumpers (for Nigel Twiston-Davies) and maiden/novice hurdles but his form is little better than modest. Fair 3rd at Sedgefield on second hurdle start but probably has to build on that form today. |
|||
6th (7)  (50/1 +24%)Small Town Hero |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Small Town Hero 50/1, Point winner who failed to figure in a Grade 2 bumper here in the spring. Hinted at ability when a well-held fifth on his Ffos Las hurdle debut a fortnight ago but he's probably more one for the longer term. Point winner; still early days but well beaten on both rules starts. |
|||
7th (5)  (100/1 -100%)Lennie Godber |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lennie Godber 100/1, No show in 2 bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies in March and big outsider now hurdling for new stable after 7 months off. Well beaten in both bumpers; probably best watched now tackling hurdles for a new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
TAKT DE TOUQUES has impressed by winning three bumpers since racing under Rules and, having also won a point-to-point before joining his current yard, this progressive five-year-old is fancied to rise to the challenge presented by his hurdling debut. Sunray Shadow has the benefit of experience in this discipline and is another taken seriously. Chief Sunday runs for an in-form yard and also warrants consideration.
TAKT DE TOUQUES created a good impression when winning 3 bumpers earlier in the year and is narrowly preferred to Dan Skelton's Sunray Shadow. Emiyn could also have a part to play if translating anything like his Flat ability to hurdles.
Bumper winner SUNRAY SHADOW finished fast for a close third over 2m at Warwick on his hurdle debut and earns the vote now up in trip.

1st (2)  (8/1 -191%)Kamsinas |
8/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kamsinas 8/1, A three-time winner last term, going in over 21f at Kempton in March. Very much one to consider on his return for his in-form handler. Three novice wins last term and trainer has won the last two runnings; entitled to respect. |
|||
2nd (9)  (9/4 +55%)Long Draw |
9/4(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Long Draw 9/4, £60,000 Irish point recruit very much on the up since switched to handicaps, winning at Ffos Las and an excellent clear second at Warwick (21f) last time. Big shout. Won at Ffos Las in May and two creditable seconds this autumn; major player. |
|||
3rd (5)  (5/2 +69%)Bowenspark |
5/2(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bowenspark 5/2, Unreliable sort who wasn't seen out after being pulled up in Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, heavy) 8 months ago. Has won when fresh though so can't be discounted on his handicap hurdle debut. Failed to kick on after hurdle debut win last November but retains potential; h'cap debut. |
|||
4th (8)  (12/1 -20%)Got Grey |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Got Grey 12/1, A big improver for his new yard, winning 2m handicaps at Stratford and Bangor. Possibly found run coming too quickly when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. Well worth another chance. Made excellent start for new yard; lesser run at Hexham last time but he's not written off. |
|||
5th (3)  (22/1 -159%)Ballygeary |
22/1(-159%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ballygeary 22/1, Resumed winning ways at Market Rasen but only sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) later in June. Needs to bounce back after a break. On the scoresheet at Market Rasen in June but below par later that month and absent since. |
|||
6th (7)  (7/1 +0%)Lavida Adiva |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lavida Adiva 7/1, Winning pointer who landed 2m Catterick novice in December. Kept his form well after so he's one to consider on his return with few miles still on the clock. Last season's novice campaign culminated in her second at Cheltenham; chance. |
|||
7th (1)  (12/1 -20%)Cruz Control |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cruz Control 12/1, Ended last term with 3m chase win here and resumed with an encouraging fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Punchestown (24.5f, soft) 176 days ago, doing too much too soon. Much respected back in this sphere. Engaged Cheltenham 2.55 Saturday. Highly progressive over fences last season; lower mark over hurdles; non-runner yesterday. |
|||
8th (4)  (33/1 -106%)Hurricane Ali |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hurricane Ali 33/1, Course winner who recorded a respectable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (25.4f, soft) 64 days ago. Down in trip. It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2022 though. Close 3rd at Cartmel in July; back on better ground today; has gone well on both runs here. |
|||
9th (6)  (12/1 +0%)Arqoob |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Arqoob 12/1, A fairly useful 2m winner but cheekpieces on for 1st time when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sandown (19.8f, good) in April. Needs to hit the ground running on his reappearance. Had a pretty good campaign last season and returns on a competitive mark; not ruled out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Having drawn 27 lengths clear of the third when runner-up at Warwick earlier this month, compensation could be heading in LONG DRAW's direction. A 3lb rise in the ratings looks more than fair for the five-year-old and his race fitness could prove crucial. Lavida Adiva capped off last season's novice campaign with a good second at Cheltenham and she warrants respect on her return to action. Ruth Jefferson's mare is feared most, ahead of Kamsinas.
Olly Murphy's LONG DRAW will go on improving and can land the spoils. The reappearing Kamsinas scored three times last season and rates the main danger with his yard going well, while Lavida Adiva and Got Grey both warrant plenty of respect too in this useful handicap.
The unexposed mare LAVIDA ADIVA was a good second at Cheltenham in April when last seen and is taken to go one better on her return.

1st (7)  (10/3 +33%)Kapability |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kapability 10/3, Authorzied filly. Dam, lightly raced on Flat/over jumps in France, half-sister to 17f French hurdle winner Joker d'Airy. Harry Cobden booked for a stable with a healthy bumper strike-rate. Would very much enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. Trainer 2-4 in bumpers this season and Harry Cobden is booked on debut; check the betting. |

2nd (5)  (5/2 +9%)Siog Geal |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Siog Geal 5/2, £80,000 buy after winning her sole outing in Irish points in February. Joined a stable with a good bumper record and a prominent showing is on the cards. Point winner; trainer does extremely well in mares' bumpers & she's firmly in calculations. |
|||
3rd (6)  (4/1 -100%)Claim Du Brizais |
4/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Claim Du Brizais 4/1, Cost £130,000 after finishing second in an Irish point in February. Likely type for top stable. Point runner-up who has joined a top yard and could play leading role in her first bumper. |
|||
4th (10)  (13/2 +35%)Queenofthejukebox |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Queenofthejukebox 13/2, Second on Irish point debut in March and sold for £45,000 the following month. Sports a tongue-tie on rules debut. Same ownership as Claim du Brizais and the betting should guide. Went close in a point in March and the winner has won a bumper since; sold for £45,000. |
|||
5th (11)  (20/1 +0%)Springtime Legend |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Springtime Legend 20/1, 8/1, fourth of 11 in bumper at Newton Abbot (17f, good to firm) on debut in May. Will need to step up on that form but her stable has been going well. Open to improvement on second start & yard in top form but others may have more potential. |
|||
6th (8)  (16/1 -100%)Lets Mingle |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lets Mingle 16/1, Picked up for £85,000 after winning an Irish point in April. It'll be interesting to see what the market makes of her. Point winner who changed hands for £85,000; in good hands and she's respected. |
|||
7th (2)  (12/1 +14%)Blacksamssenorita |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blacksamssenorita 12/1, Promise when third on her Taunton debut in March but found life tougher in a deeper race at Cheltenham the following month. Probably vulnerable for win purposes on return. Yard won this last year; has shown ability on both starts but needs something extra. |
|||
8th (12)  (200/1 -203%)Vienna Pearl |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Vienna Pearl 200/1, £27,000 Mahler filly. The stable is 0-22 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons so a watching brief is advised. £27,000 3yo; makes debut in what may be a warm race; might be best watched. |
|||
9th (3)  (16/1 -60%)Lowlands |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lowlands 16/1, Has shown a fair level of ability in bumpers at Uttoxeter and Sedgefield but more will be needed here. Beaten about only 4l on her two starts but needs to take a step forward today. |
|||
10th (9)  (40/1 -21%)Polkaface |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Polkaface 40/1, £28,000 Vadamos filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including smart 2m hurdler Cockney Sparrow and fairly useful hurdler Dino Mite. Makes some appeal on breeding but the stable is only 1-38 in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Half-sister to highly talented dual-purpose performer Cockney Sparrow; yard in fine form. |
|||
11th (1)  (22/1 -57%)Bennys Jenny |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bennys Jenny 22/1, Easy point winner in Ireland from successful jumps family. £37,000 buy for new connections and worth a second look in the betting. Point win in April on fifth run; makes rules debut with yard in fine form; not discounted. |
|||
12th (4)  (20/1 +50%)Myfavouritesister |
20/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Myfavouritesister 20/1, From the family of yard's star jumper The Real Whacker but didn't achieve enough in 2 bumpers in the spring to fancy her chances here. Better effort when fifth at Huntingdon on second start but further improvement is needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
There are several interesting point-to-pointers making their Rules debut and a tentative vote goes to the Dan Skelton-trained CLAIM DU BRIZAIS. The 130,000-pound purchase finished second on her sole start between the flags in Ireland and she boasts the speed in her pedigree to make a mark in bumpers. Siog Geal and Lets Mingle are other interesting recruits from that sphere, while Kapability also requires a market check with Harry Cobden aboard.
CLAIM DU BRIZAIS had a subsequent hurdle winner well behind her in third when runner-up in an Irish point in February and is taken to make a winning start for Dan Skelton. Fellow Irish point recruit Siog Geal has also joined a leading yard with a good bumper record and is second choice ahead of Anthony Honeyball's Kapability before any betting clues are known.
Top of the list is point winner SIOG GEAL, whose trainer Fergal O'Brien does very well in mares' bumpers.

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.
