1st (7)  (5/2 +67%)Equinus |
5/2(+67%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Equinus 5/2, Made a successful handicap debut at Ffos Las (2½m) in January and back to that sort of form when third at Newbury (19f) in March. Behind when unseating rider last at Chepstow on final start in April but comes here with yard having made bright start to the campaign and better showing anticipated. Two good runs and two flops from his four handicaps; one of the flops when upped to 2m7f. |
|||
2nd (8)  (9/2 +10%)Secret Trix |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Secret Trix 9/2, Has thrived with cheekpieces applied this season, completing a hat-trick around 3m before improving again when second at Worcester (2½m) last month. Big player back at 3m. Stays 3m and improving in cheekpieces, so needs respect despite move away from good ground. |
|||
3rd (5)  (13/2 +19%)Prairie Wolf |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Prairie Wolf 13/2, Largely progressive in handicaps last term, off the mark at Catterick (19f) in February and placed on 2 of his 3 starts thereafter. Encouraging return display when staying on for second at Warwick (21f) 24 days ago and possibilities with that under his belt. Reappearance second at Warwick (2m5f) suggests he is well worth this second go at 3m. |
|||
4th (11)  (50/1 -100%)Uno Mas |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Uno Mas 50/1, Got on a roll in the second half of 2021, winning 5 handicaps (4 hurdle, 1 chase), but he hasn't been seen since finishing a remote last of 4 over fences at Carlisle in March 2022. Watching brief the percentage call unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Prolific spell in 2021 included this race; first run since tailed off in March 2022. |
|||
5th (3)  (12/1 -60%)Czech Her Out |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Czech Her Out 12/1, Better than ever when making a winning start for the Lucinda Russell stable at Perth (3m) in August and even better form when only narrowly denied at Kelso last month. Should give another good account. Mixed this year; needs a major career best and she's not proven on worse than good to soft. |
|||
6th (4)  (7/1 -75%)Mylesfromwicklow |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mylesfromwicklow 7/1, Point winner who has finished runner-up on all 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles around 2½m, including on last month's Worcester reappearance. Unexposed for top stable now stepping up in trip for handicap debut. Looks well worth this first attempt beyond 2m4f under rules; considered on handicap debut. |
|||
7th (9)  (15/2 -36%)No But I Will |
15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) No But I Will 15/2, Point winner who improved over hurdles in the spring, second over 19.5f at Bangor in March before going one better over 23f there 4 weeks later. Could have more to offer in handicaps this term and returns with his yard in form. High on the shortlist. Heavy defeats over 3m/3m1f in the mud; 2nd and 1st at Bangor, seeing 2m7f out well latest. |
|||
8th (2)  (28/1 -100%)Ashington |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ashington 28/1, Been running creditably in defeat of late without doing enough to suggest a return to winning ways is likely here. Plenty of minor honours lately but a win looks unlikely in race this competitive. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (6/1 +0%)Sound And Fury |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sound And Fury 6/1, Irish point winner who made a winning start over hurdles at Fontwell in March. Runner-up over 2½m at Newbury and Newcastle later in the spring and he's another in this line-up with unexposed potential now handicapping over a longer trip on his reappearance. Solid novice record; seemed likely to stay beyond 2m4f; has potential going handicapping. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (18/1 -64%)Feivel |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Feivel 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who made a winning start for the Stuart Edmunds yard in a 3m handicap chase at Wetherby in February. Beaten favourite on his next 3 outings and took a fall when in contention 3 out at Uttoxeter in May. Confidence restoring mission returning over timber. 5lb lower back over hurdles (first time since March 2022) after a fall in May; one to note. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (66/1 -65%)Giovanni Change |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Giovanni Change 66/1, Prone to mistakes over hurdles but, after scoring on the level, he recorded a fourth Market Rasen success in May. Pulled up at Uttoxeter in July, though, and also well held on the Flat at Pontefract in August. Needs to have been refreshed by a short break. Flat and hurdle wins this spring; failed to shine in either sphere in his three runs since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Ben Pauling saddled the winner of this prize 12 months ago and SOUND AND FURY could provide him with further success. A winner between the flags in April of last year, the six-year-old showed a fair level of ability in maiden/novice company last season and is interesting off a mark of 114, with the step up to an extended 3m for his handicap debut an added bonus. Mylesfromwicklow would be a deserving winner having hit the woodwork on each of his four starts under Rules, while others to note include No But I Will and Secret Trix.
An interesting and competitive opener. NO BUT I WILL reappears for a yard in good form and gets the nod to make a winning handicap debut. Sound And Fury, who represents last year's winning stable, and Mylesfromwicklow have similarly unexposed profiles to the selection and head the many possible dangers along with the thriving Secret Trix.
This presents quite a puzzle but it may be solved by improvement from MYLESFROMWICKLOW moving up in trip on his handicap debut.

(6)  (3/1 +60%)Celebre D'Allen |
3/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Celebre D'Allen 3/1, Returned from a long absence with a bang in 2021/22 season, winning 3 handicaps (2 hurdle, 1 chase) and fine fifth in Plate. Just respectable efforts at best last term, finding the Topham too competitive when last seen 6 months ago. Handicapper relinquishes his grip. | |||
(5)  (4/1 +20%)Nestor Park |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Nestor Park 4/1, Just the one win to his name in this sphere but he has made the frame 11 times from 12 completed starts over fences, latest when third at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy) 6 months ago. Solid claims if fully tuned up. | |||
(9)  (9/2 +18%)Jimmy The Digger |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jimmy The Digger 9/2, Made a winning return when staying on strongly to land amateurs' handicap at Cheltenham (25f) 12 months ago. Good efforts when in the frame next 2 starts and was let down by his jumping when pulled up at same course in April (bled from the nose). Fancied to get back on track. | |||
(1)  (10/1 -43%)Wishing And Hoping |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wishing And Hoping 10/1, Defied big odds in 18-runner Series Final at Sandown back in January and having struggled at listed level next time, shaped better than the bare result at Ascot when last seen 7 months ago. Won this in 2021 and runner-up last year, so tough to rule out despite his age. | |||
(11)  (12/1 -20%)Duc De Beauchene |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Duc De Beauchene 12/1, In the form of his life back in the spring, winning staying handicaps at Wincanton and Fakenham (good second in stronger Kempton contest in between). Possibly found Cartmel a race too many and returns with cheekpieces reapplied after 5 months off. | |||
(3)  (14/1 +22%)Landofsmiles |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Landofsmiles 14/1, Has built up a good strike rate over fences, making it 3 wins from 5 starts for the current campaign at Cartmel (25.5f) in August. Run of good form halted in leg 7 of this series at Chepstow earlier this month however, so percentage call is to look elsewhere. | |||
(2)  (14/1 -180%)Boldmere |
14/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Boldmere 14/1, Understandably looked rusty when returning from 20 months on debut for new yard at Doncaster last December but duly bounced back when landing a 3m veterans' event back there in February and added another victory to his tally at Fakenham in April. Lots to like on seasonal return. | |||
(4)  (15/2 -7%)Top Ville Ben |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Top Ville Ben 15/2, Not the force of old but his mark now reflects that and was a good 3 lengths third of 23 to The Goffer in handicap chase (28/1) at Leopardstown on penultimate outing. Little impact on both outings since (latest in the Topham) but he's been given a chance by the assessor. | |||
(8)  (18/1 -50%)Chirico Vallis |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Chirico Vallis 18/1, Lightly raced over fences for his age and shaped well when third in similar company at Newbury (23.4f, soft) back in March. Reportedly finished lame when well beaten at Cartmel (29.4f) in May and got no further than the third on his recent return at Chepstow. Others appeal more. | |||
(10)  (18/1 -100%)Cap Du Nord |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cap Du Nord 18/1, Back to winning ways in valuable event at Ascot in February and best effort thereafter when third at Uttoxeter (3m) in May. Probably needed the run after 3 months off in leg 7 of this series at Chepstow just over 2 weeks ago and looks potentially well handicapped again. | |||
(7)  (40/1 -82%)Daly Tiger |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Daly Tiger 40/1, Very smart chaser at best for Noel Meade and won a minor event over hurdles at Limerick in 2021/22 season. However, has lost his way since then, making no impact on all 5 starts for current connections. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
In an open heat, it might be worth taking a chance on WISHING AND HOPING, who has previously finished first and second in this contest. That second came last year, where he was no match for a ready winner, but he clearly thrives at this venue. Boldmere was in good form when last seen and must be respected on his return. Celebre D'Allen was a well-beaten eighth in the Topham but is an interesting candidate down in grade, and from 5lb below his last winning mark.
JIMMY THE DIGGER made a winning reappearance at Cheltenham last season and Henry Daly's 10-y-o gets the verdict to repeat that feat and make his first start in veterans' company a successful one. The main danger may emerge from Nestor Park, who has just the sole victory to his name in this sphere but has made the frame 11 times from 12 completed starts, while Cap du Nord and Boldmere are another couple to consider in what looks an ultra-competitive contest on paper.
This looks the time to catch JIMMY THE DIGGER (nap), whose reappearance record is very persuasive. Boldmere is feared most.

(2)  (4/1 +20%)Tommy's Oscar |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tommy's Oscar 4/1, Smart hurdler and even better over fences, winning Grade 2 at Doncaster in January. Better than ever when making a winning return at Kelso in good style and should be suited by the demands of this race. Very productive, mostly at about 2m; return to 2m4f is the question mark. |
|||
(6)  (4/1 +11%)My Drogo |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) My Drogo 4/1, Made it 4-4 over hurdles in Grade 1 here in April 2021 and looked set to make a winning start/return over fences when departing at Cheltenham. Made amends there following month but off since (22 months). Remains an exciting chasing prospect and opening mark potentially a good one on hurdles form. Absent since 2021 due to injury but retains high potential; respected on return. |
|||
(1)  (7/2 +0%)Hitman |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hitman 7/2, Just denied in this on return last season off 1 lb higher before easy winner at Haydock. Excuses next 2 starts (reportedly bled in King George) and bounced back with an excellent third in Ryanair at Cheltenham. Might have found Grade 1 here coming too soon since. Big run expected. Strike-rate could be better but capable of smart form; went close in this race last year. |
|||
(11)  (9/1 -38%)Do Your Job |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Do Your Job 9/1, Grade 2 winning novice chaser but below par all 3 starts last season (let down by jumping), including when going off favourite for this race on return. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Michael Scudamore. Disappointing last term, including in this race, but could revive after his layoff. |
|||
(3)  (9/1 +36%)Minella Drama |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Minella Drama 9/1, Smart hurdler/chaser who capitalised on a drop back to handicap company when scoring comfortably over fences at Musselburgh/Kelso. Ran as well as could have been expected when 7 lengths third in Grade 1 in Melling Chase (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) final start. High enough in weights now. Ran well in Grade 1 over C&D on last appearance; 3-3 in handicaps; solid claims. |
|||
(4)  (9/1 +0%)Al Dancer |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Al Dancer 9/1, Smart chaser who returned as good as ever when landing the Grand Sefton here last term. Let down by jumping in Topham on only subsequent outing that season but better than ever when again making a winning comeback at Chepstow in impressive fashion. Career high mark to deal with now but respected. Clearcut winner on reappearance but he's back on career-high mark. |
|||
(7)  (17/2 -13%)Datsalrightgino |
17/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Datsalrightgino 17/2, Career best when winning 6-runner Grade 2 Novices' Chase at Ayr (20.5f, good, 8/1) in April on final start by 1¾ lengths, staying on well. Likeable type who may improve further over fences, so needs considering on return. Grade 2 winner at Ayr on final start; likely to progress further this term; major player. |
|||
(5)  (20/1 +20%)Hang In There |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hang In There 20/1, Scored 5 times (at up to 21.4f) last season and better than ever when returning to winning ways at Stratford and Worcester last 2 starts. Opposable up 10 lb in much better race now, though. Suited by good/firmer; chase record is 7-11; not dismissed granted ideal ground. |
|||
(10)  (22/1 -38%)Erne River |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Erne River 22/1, Useful over hurdles and fences but build on return last season back over hurdles. Bit to prove switched back to chasing after 6 months off. His promising start to chase career has not been built on; opposed. |
|||
(9)  (22/1 +0%)Courtland |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Courtland 22/1, Like many from the yard he's thrived this summer, completing a hat-trick before an excellent second in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen. Resumed winning ways at Worcester 68 days ago, forging clear. Hit with a further 10 lb rise and looks high enough in weights now up in class. Cracking progress this term, producing form figures of 11121; possibilities. |
|||
(8)  (25/1 -108%)Jetoile |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jetoile 25/1, Ended last season on the upgrade, winning 2 handicaps at Chepstow in good style. This much more competitive but respected nonetheless. Ended last season with two wins at Chepstow; may improve further. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A fascinating renewal sees the return of MY DROGO, who has been off since winning at Cheltenham in December 2021. He sustained an injury thereafter, but his Grade 1 romp as a novice hurdler here still lives fresh in the memory and offers plenty of hope that he can pick up where he left off. Tommy's Oscar returned with a decisive success at Kelso and is expected to mount another stern challenge off 5lb higher. Hitman finished a gallant second in this 12 months ago, off 1lb higher, and is another to consider.
A fascinating renewal but the way TOMMY'S OSCAR made a faultless winning comeback at Kelso suggests he can fulfil his potential in 2023/24 after a rather hit-and-miss novice campaign. Datsalrightgino showed why he went off favourite for the Plate at Cheltenham when winning a Grade 2 at Ayr on his final start and is another to consider, while My Drogo has been off for almost 2 years with a tendon injury but remains an exciting chasing prospect.
My Drogo has to be feared despite the long absence. DATSALRIGHTGINO is a solid alternative, while Minella Drama is respected.

(1)  (4/7 +15%)Inthewaterside |
4/7(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Inthewaterside 4/7, Physically imposing sort who made the perfect start to his career when winning a bumper at Exeter (16.7f, soft) in December, despite looking as though he was very much in need of the experience. Followed up at Sandown 2 months later and he's a fine hurdles prospect with this trip expected to suit. 2-2 in bumpers last winter; smart prospect for hurdling this term. |
|||
(7)  (6/1 +14%)Theformismighty |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Theformismighty 6/1, €20,000 3-y-o, £105,000 5-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful chaser Road Warrior. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points in Jan 2022. Transferred to a powerful yard. Irish point form has worked out very well; one to consider. |
|||
(10)  (7/2 +0%)Jagwar |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jagwar 7/2, Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser D'jango and 2m hurdle winner abroad Hola Que. 6 lengths second of 11 to Secret d'Etat in newcomers race at Auteuil, leading until approaching last, only outing over hurdles. Has left Emmanuel Clayeux and he sets the standard. Tongue tie on. Promising second at Auteuil on sole French start; likely player. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 +17%)Iron D'Ex |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Iron D'Ex 10/1, £60,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point in spring of last year. Matched the pick of last season's effort when second on return at Bangor 3 weeks ago but was no match for the winner and looks vulnerable at this level unless improving for step up in trip. Has place possibilities but needs improvement to get off the mark. |
|||
(5)  (28/1 -133%)Simple Getaway |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Simple Getaway 28/1, €52,000 3-y-o, £180,000 4-y-o, Getaway gelding. Dam (h75) lightly raced over hurdles, out of sister to smart bumper winner/useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Wither Or Which. Won completed start in Irish points in November so he commands respect. Bought for £180,000 after Irish point win; interesting. |
|||
(3)  (33/1 -50%)Kingofthegame |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kingofthegame 33/1, £70,000 4-y-o, fifth foal: half-brother to a point winner: dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¼m) Hello Sweetie out of useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser (winner up to 2½m) Knock Down. Made frame on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 2022). Rules debutant; absent for almost a year; market can guide. |
|||
(6)  (50/1 -52%)Skyjack Hijack |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Skyjack Hijack 50/1, €4,000 3-y-o, half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner Rathcannon. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Ballykettrail. Third on only start in Irish points (Apr 21). Showed promise in Irish point but the form isn't strong. |
|||
(4)  (50/1 -25%)Rich Spirit |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rich Spirit 50/1, Bred to be sharp but modest form in a brace of bumpers last summer. Sound hurdles debut when third at Hexham a fortnight ago but upped in distance and more needed in this company. Ran well at Hexham on reappearance but needs further progress. |
|||
(11)  (66/1 -136%)Sparkling Duke |
66/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sparkling Duke 66/1, Fetched €80,000 as a 3-y-o and he's a half-brother to 5 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser Wounded Warrior and useful hurdler/chaser Sword of Destiny. However, probably more of a long-term project judged on his debut display in a Taunton bumper in April. Soundly beaten in Taunton bumper. |
|||
(8)  (80/1 +0%)We Got Your Back |
80/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) We Got Your Back 80/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Kayf Tara gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Smarty Wild, stays 3m. Unplaced completed start in points and just modest form in an Irish bumper. Moves up in trip and switches to hurdling by new stable fitted with headgear. Makes debut for new yard; others are preferred on form. |
|||
(9)  (125/1 -56%)Gustoso |
125/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Gustoso 125/1, Passing Glance gelding. Dam (b62), ran once over hurdles/in bumper, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2½m-2¾m winner) Kilgeel Hill. Limited promise in a Market Rasen bumper in May. Remote fourth in Market Rasen bumper. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
INTHEWATERSIDE was quite taking when landing a second NH Flat race at Sandown in February and Paul Nicholls' gelding could keep his unbeaten record intact if translating that ability to obstacles. Jagwar found only a subsequent Listed hurdle winner too strong when runner-up on his debut at Auteuil a year ago and that experience should stand him in good stead. He may provide the most resistance to the selection, ahead of winning pointer Simple Getaway.
INTHEWATERSIDE looks the part and he rates a smashing hurdles prospect having passed each test in bumpers last term, so is taken to remain unbeaten. Jagwar sets a pretty good standard on his effort in France for another stable, while it's taken time for Theformismighty to make his Rules debut but he could hardly be in better hands.
Good prospect INTHEWATERSIDE is taken to win this maiden event en route to better things. Jagwar is feared most.

3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hourvari 3/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles last term, successful twice in novice company at up to 19.5f. Creditable third at Ayr (20.4f) on final start in April and switch to handicaps rates a plus on return to action. Novice hurdling campaign ended in solid fashion; one to consider. |
|||
(5)  (6/1 -9%)Santos Blue |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Santos Blue 6/1, Much improved once sent handicapping last season, landing hat-trick of wins at Wetherby, Chepstow and Kelso. Performed with plenty of credit in defeat when third at Cheltenham when last seen and there's no reason he shouldn't continue to go the right way. Has form figures of 1113 since handicapping; appears to have a solid chance. |
|||
(4)  (11/8 +39%)Crambo |
11/8(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crambo 11/8, Dual bumper winner showed plenty to like over hurdles last season, winning Ascot maiden and Bangor novice before progressing further to land the EBF Final at Sandown. Not disgraced in Grade 1 company when mid-field in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at this C&D last time and he's a player. Won the EBF Final at Sandown on sole handicap attempt; should have more to offer. |
|||
(6)  (13/2 -18%)Dare To Shout |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dare To Shout 13/2, Point winner who looked a good prospect when winning back-to-back novice hurdles at Kelso and Newcastle earlier this year and resumed progress after a wind-op/summer break when scoring at Hexham (20.1f, heavy, 11/2) 23 days ago. Respected. Hexham reappearance win took his hurdles record to 3-5; may improve further. |
|||
(9)  (18/1 -100%)Knockanore |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Knockanore 18/1, Much improved when scoring over hurdles at the third time of asking at Carlisle last November and belatedly matched that form when also winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft, 11/4). Back up in trip now but others make more appeal on his return to a handicap. Successful twice last season but struggled with consistency; opposed. |
|||
(8)  (22/1 -57%)Slip Road |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Slip Road 22/1, Point winner who cost €95,000 at 3 yrs and showed fairly useful from in defeat in 2 bumper outings. Showed good attitude when making winning hurdles debut back in December 2020 but off the track since and has left Sam Thomas, so market looks the best guide. Very unexposed but market should prove best guide on return from long layoff. |
|||
(3)  (33/1 -83%)Kitty's Light |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kitty's Light 33/1, Most likeable staying chaser signed off last season by landing an exceptional hat-trick, winning the Eider Chase, Scottish National and bet365 Gold Cup. This looks like a pipe-opener for bigger staying targets further down the line. Remarkable staying chaser but may need this reappearance run back over hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SANTOS BLUE lost little in defeat when thwarted in his bid to land a four-timer at Cheltenham in April, and a 3lb rise for that third-placed effort may not be enough to stop this progressive six-year-old from regaining the winning thread. EBF Final winner Crambo has progressed nicely over hurdles and is open to further improvement, while Dare To Shout and Lac De Constance aren't taken lightly.
CRAMBO, who was beaten only in Grade 1 company last season, looks the leading player, with Santos Blue another major player in a strong-looking heat. Hourvari isn't dismissed either.
The EBF Final winner CRAMBO should have more to offer this season and is the selection ahead of Lac De Constance.

(4)  (2/1 +43%)Master Chewy |
2/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Master Chewy 2/1, Remains a maiden but ran to a fairly useful level over hurdles in 2022/23, placing on 3 occasions including when runner-up in a Cheltenham novice in December. Had been an expensive purchase after his third in an Irish point on debut, so he's one to note on his chase bow. 0-7 over hurdles but he remains of serious interest back down in trip for in-form stable. |
|||
(1)  (5/4 +9%)Pembroke |
5/4(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pembroke 5/4, Bumper/dual novice hurdle winner who ended last season with a creditable fifth in Grade 1 at Aintree. After 6 months off (had a wind op), shaped encouragingly when runner-up in Uttoxeter novice on chase debut 3 weeks ago and he's a major player with better to come. Had wind surgery before a satisfactory chasing debut in three-runner race at Uttoxeter. |
|||
(3)  (9/2 -13%)General Officer |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) General Officer 9/2, Winning pointer who showed fairly useful form over hurdles last season, landing back-to-back novices at Musselburgh on his first 2 starts. Ran to a similar level sent chasing when second in novice handicap at Hexham 23 days ago and he's entitled to progress from that effort. Second of five to Chapel Green on handicap/chase debut at Hexham; has an unchanged mark. |
|||
(6)  (15/2 -67%)Chapel Green |
15/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Chapel Green 15/2, Fair winner over hurdles, getting off the mark at the second attempt in a Kelso novice. Appealed as the type to take to chasing and duly made a winning start over fences in novice handicap at Hexham 23 days ago, getting the better of General Officer. Respected. Up 6lb (3lb out of handicap) but there's plenty to like in Hexham win from General Officer. |
|||
(2)  (20/1 -25%)Martator |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Martator 20/1, Placed in Grade 1 hurdles at Auteuil in 2021 for Joel Boisnard but subsequently spent more than a year off the track and stuggled for form in Britain last season. However, it still remains early days with his current yard as he makes only his second start over fences. Good French hurdles form; dropped 18lb since British debut and needs a close look. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Pembroke made a solid beginning to his fencing career when runner-up at Uttoxeter and he is entitled to come on from that display. That said, he has to give 11lb and upwards to his rivals, some of which have the potential to improve a lot in this sphere, and the vote goes to CHAPEL GREEN. The six-year-old got off the mark on his chasing debut at Hexham when proving too strong for General Officer and he is expected to take another step forward. Master Chewy didn't get his head in front over hurdles, but he threatened to develop into a smart performer in the early part of last season and fences might help to unlock his potential.
Useful over hurdles, PEMBROKE is built for chasing and made an encouraging start over fences when runner-up at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago, travelling best through the race. He can take a step forward from that experience to go one better, while General Officer is also open to progress and can reverse the form with Chapel Green from when the pair met last time.
This small but intriguing field may be led home by CHAPEL GREEN who appears to have scope for significant further progress.

4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Betty's Tiara 4/1, Half-sister to a bumper winner and followed suit at the first time of asking in a 10-runner event at Stratford 59 days ago. Reasonable claims as she bids to defy a penalty. Doesn't set a daunting standard on her Stratford win but may progress. |
|||
(8)  (4/1 -60%)Lady Jago |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lady Jago 4/1, £80,000 4-y-o, Getaway filly. Half-sister to modest hurdler Somewhat Cloudy. Dam (h133) 2½m-3m hurdle winner.

Dam, unraced, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Whatuthink and useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Whodoyouthink, both ungenuine.

|||

Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Haute Estime and fair 19f hurdle winner An Taibhse. Likely to need more time. 52,000euros 3yo; looks the stable second-string on jockey arrangements. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sweet Honey B won a point-to-point over 2m and the daughter of Getaway, who is related to plenty of useful performers, commands a fair amount of respect on her Rules debut. Coco Brave and Tellitasitis are others who boast smart pedigrees and represent yards that have a fine record in this sphere, but JUST A MEMORY makes the most appeal. Warren Greatrex won this contest with La Bague Au Roi back in 2015 and it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Lambourn handler unleash another potentially smart recruit.
LADY JAGO was successful on her only start between the flags and makes plenty of appeal now switched to Rules. Fellow point winner Lady In The Park is an obvious threat and Betty's Tiara is a player if taking her chance.
Most of the runners are newcomers or rules debutantes. LADY JAGO is the suggestion, ahead of Lady In The Park.

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.
