1st (1)  (10/11 +60%)First Confession |
10/11(+60%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) First Confession 10/11, Bought for £140,000 after winning sole outing in points and made a highly encouraging hurdling debut when third in 8-runner novice at Cheltenham (19.9f) 4 weeks ago. Open to significant improvement. Point winner; well-beaten 3rd on hurdle debut at Cheltenham but it was a hot race; player. |
|||
2nd (3)  (13/2 -95%)Oak Grove |
13/2(-95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Oak Grove 13/2, Expensive purchase after winning his second start in points and he showed promise in 2 bumpers last season. Type to do well over hurdles but this is a tough starting point. Point winner; promise in bumpers; improvement needed but the step up in trip can help. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6/4 -36%)Milan Tino |
6/4(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Milan Tino 6/4, Placed in listed and Grade 2 events at Auteuil earlier in his career and by no means disgraced when third to Sir Gino in a Grade 2 juvenile at Cheltenham in January. Below form both completed starts since, including in Group 3 back at Auteuil last month, but still sets a good standard. May have needed latest run; leading claims on last season's Grade 2 juvenile form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MILAN TINO will find this easier than the Grade 3 events he contested in France last month. The son of Milan is still of low mileage and having finished a respectable sixth when sent off favourite for the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen on these shores, could be hard to beat at this level. With both Oak Grove and Marvellous Mick needing to find improvement, the promising First Confession may be the biggest threat to the selection.
FIRST CONFESSION made a highly promising start over hurdles in a field of previous winners at Cheltenham last month and, open to oodles of improvement, he can make his second outing in this sphere a winning one. Milan Tino sets the standard on the pick of his form and is the obvious danger.
Point winner FIRST CONFESSION showed promise in a hot novice hurdle at Cheltenham last month and is taken to score.

1st (5)  (7/2 +75%)Bucksy Des Epeires |
7/2(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bucksy Des Epeires 7/2, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who made a successful return at Lingfield a year ago. Good second at Ludlow when last seen and very much the type to do better over fences, though this might be a tough starting point. 5yo who is from a good French chasing family and could improve for fences; one to consider. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/2 +44%)Rare Edition |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rare Edition 5/2, Continued his good record fresh when making successful start over fences in 2m Uttoxeter novice on return 7 weeks ago. Switches to handicaps up in trip now and more to come. Won on last month's chase debut at Uttoxeter; could have more to offer over fences; chance. |
|||
3rd (4)  (11/8 +61%)Bad |
11/8(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bad 11/8, Fairly useful handicap hurdler, sometimes a weak finisher but often running well here. Produced a promising first effort over fences over C&D 3 weeks ago, making the winner work. Up 3 lb and should improve. 0-9 in Britain but may have bumped into smart prospect when second over C&D on chase debut. |
|||
4th (3)  (6/1 +33%)Riskintheground |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Riskintheground 6/1, Much improved over fences since dropped back in trip, bagging his fourth success at Bangor in September. Found 25f in the Badger Beer handicap too much a fortnight ago and this is a bit easier. 4 chase wins this term; failed to stay 3m in Badger Beer; could put experience to good use. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A Grade 2 winner over hurdles at Cheltenham before possibly running too keenly in the Albert Bartlett at the Festival in March, GIDLEIGH PARK carries huge potential now he switches to fences and Harry Fry's smart prospect can make a big impact here. Bad has to be feared after his promising C&D second, while Rare Edition and Bucksy Des Epeires are also unexposed in this discipline and betting support would be noteworthy.
GIDLEIGH PARK is one of the most exciting chase prospects in the UK and can make a successful start over fences off what might be a very lenient mark. It could be close for the forecast, with Bad, given his good Ascot record, narrowly preferred.
An intriguing little race and a case can be made for all of them. BAD was a clear second over C&D on chase debut and can go one better.

1st (1)  (4/6 +56%)Celtic Dino |
4/6(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Celtic Dino 4/6, Dual bumper winner who made the perfect start in this sphere when winning 8-runner novice at Wincanton (15.2f) 5 weeks ago, making all and jumping better as race wore on. Up to making his mark in this stronger company on that evidence. Two-time bumper winner; won easily on hurdle debut and he's a leading candidate today. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5/1 -50%)Wade Out |
5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wade Out 5/1, Won sole point and, having scored on bumper debut at Market Rasen (16.6f) in March, he maintained his 100% record in 10-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on hurdles bow 35 days ago, well on top finish. Sure to progress. Made it 3-3 when winning on hurdle debut and form has been franked by the runner-up. |
|||
3rd (6)  (10/3 -52%)Joyeuse |
10/3(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Joyeuse 10/3, A half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Epatante who landed a French maiden bumper in 2022. Changed hands for €235,000 thereafter and made light of 15-month absence when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f) in January. Exciting prospect for this campaign. Won maiden hurdle at Taunton in January and that form has worked out very well. |
|||
4th (2)  (15/2 +12%)Nothing To Sea |
15/2(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Nothing To Sea 15/2, Progressive 2-time winner on Flat for Ralph Beckett (stays 2m). Perfect start sent hurdling for new yard with hood/tongue tie fitted, landing 4-y-o event at Compiegne (17.9f, heavy) in October. Good prospect with progress anticipated. Very useful in light Flat career and 1-1 over hurdles; could be up to this tougher task. |
|||
5th (7)  (250/1 -213%)Kenmya |
250/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kenmya 250/1, A fair 5-time winner on Flat in France (stays 10f) but easy to back and offered little after 15 months off when ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on yard debut 21 days ago. Stable look to hold much stronger claims with Royal Infantry. Five-time French Flat winner but at ordinary level; tailed off on recent hurdle debut. |
|||
6th (5)  (300/1 -140%)Kingston Bresil |
300/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kingston Bresil 300/1, Not without promise in pair of bumpers but didn't offer much short-term promise (on back of wind surgery) when fifth of 6 in a C&D novice on hurdles bow 3 weeks ago. Pitched in to a hot heat here and he's best watched. Runner-up on debut in point-to-point bumper in May but opposable on his rules form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The 14-length success posted by CELTIC DINO on his hurdles debut at Wincanton last month suggests the Sam Thomas-trained gelding has the potential to significantly build on the promise he showed by winning two of his three starts in bumpers. With Nothing To Sea, Wade Out and Joyeuse also picking up penalties, this should be an informative event, with the last-named of that trio feared most after making a successful start to her UK career at Taunton back in January.
Nicky Henderson has farmed this race in recent seasons, and he looks to hold prime claims once more with 5-y-o JOYEUSE. A half-sister to connections' smart performer Epatante, she looked a good prospect herself when winning on stable debut at Chepstow back in January and very much appeals as the type to rate significantly higher this term. Celtic Dino may well emerge as the chief danger.
Two-time bumper winner CELTIC DINO made an excellent impression when winning easily on last month's hurdle debut at Wincanton.

1st (7)  (10/3 +52%)Gemirande |
10/3(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gemirande 10/3, Gained his second win of 2022/23 at Wetherby (19.4f). Better for return when fifth of 16 in Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival in March but proved to be a disappointment in Grade 2 Silver Trophy there the following month. Handicapper drops him 3 lb ahead of this return so folly to ignore. Has dropped to an attractive mark and trainer has won three of the last nine runnings. |
|||
2nd (6)  (7/1 +13%)Nocte Volatus |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nocte Volatus 7/1, Took advantage of a drop in the weights to score for the first time in over 2 years at Uttoxeter in May and picked up where he left off when last seen 6 months earlier to score at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) last month. 5 lb higher but should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Rejuvenated 9yo who has won his last two and could play another leading role. |
|||
3rd (2)  (17/2 -183%)Terresita |
17/2(-183%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Terresita 17/2, Improved switched to fences last season, likely to have recorded a third success had she not fallen 2 out at Sandown final start. Made amends when taking the scalp of Galia Des Liteaux in listed company at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) on return and is capable of better still. Listed mares' win at Carlisle on comeback; handicapper has reacted but she's progressive. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/4 +69%)Sageburg County |
11/4(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sageburg County 11/4, Three-time winner over fences last season, including at Chepstow in April. Ran poorly at Uttoxeter following month but saw things out better than is often the case when 5½ lengths third of 14 to Nocte Volatus on return at Chepstow last month. That will have blown away any cobwebs, too. Returned from break with solid third at Chepstow and could build on that run. |
|||
5th (5)  (5/1 +23%)Mylesfromwicklow |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mylesfromwicklow 5/1, Has taken his form up a notch this season, putting up just about a career best when second of 6 at Market Rasen (21.4f) last month. Unsuited by a change of tactics when sixth of 10 at this course (23.8f, good) just under 3 weeks ago and it's likely he's still in good nick. Soundly beaten over 3m here latest but better known for exploits over this sort of trip. |
|||
6th (1)  (11/1 -69%)Corrigeen Rock |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Corrigeen Rock 11/1, Thoroughly likeable sort who is building a fine strike-rate over fences taking his record in this sphere to 5-11 when landing a big pot at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) when last seen in February. Clearly goes well fresh (won on return last season) so demands considerable respect. Lofty mark to defy on reappearance but he's progressive and an impressive 5-11 over fences. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (13/2 +28%)Persian Time |
13/2(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Persian Time 13/2, Won 2 of his first 4 starts over fences last season, doubling his tally when rallying at Kempton in March. However, well below that level on his final 2 starts of the campaign and showed little spark on reappearance back at Kempton (18f, good to soft) last month. Well beaten on comeback but may have needed it; has 2-3 record here; capable of bold show. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
TERRESITA enjoyed a productive campaign last term and looked the likely winner when coming down two from home in a hot Sandown handicap. Lucy Wadham's progressive mare made amends in a Listed event on her return to action at Carlisle and appears the one to be with, despite her career-high mark. Nocte Volatus arrives in search of a hat-trick and must enter calculations off 5lb higher than for his game Chepstow victory. Persian Time is better than he showed over 2m2f at Kempton and he merits respect.
Cases can be made for several of these but it could pay to side with GEMIRANDE, who ended last season with a bit of a whimper but has slipped back to a potentially good mark as a result and his yard has twice won this in recent years with horses returning from a break. Corrigeen Rock took his form up a notch when landing a big pot at Musselburgh back in February, so he heads up the dangers on reappearance, with Terresita and Nocte Volatus both fancied to go well, too.
Venetia Williams has a good record in this race and the attractively handicapped GEMIRANDE is the selection on his reappearance.

1st (5)  (9/1 +18%)Aucunrisque |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Aucunrisque 9/1, Betfair Hurdle winner in 2023. Largely disappointing since but not disgraced when third in 2m handicaps at Plumpton and Cheltenham this autumn. Needs to build on it. Not the force of old but in fair form this autumn and might not be far away. |
|||
2nd (6)  (11/1 -22%)Alnilam |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Alnilam 11/1, A fair winner on the Flat who has improved for his current yard, hooded when an excellent 1/2 length second to Williethebuilder at Wetherby 20 days ago. Enjoys a 3 lb pull with that rival so can go well again. Went close behind Williethebuilder at Wetherby; can build on that if jumping better. |
|||
3rd (10)  (9/1 +0%)Mirabad |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mirabad 9/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France and he has scored twice over hurdles for his current handler, easily bagging 2m Hereford novice 18 days ago. This is much tougher but no forlorn hope on his handicap debut. Two from five in novice hurdles; in a warm race but has potential off handicap debut mark. |
|||
4th (7)  (13/8 +54%)Break My Soul |
13/8(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Break My Soul 13/8, Fetched £290,000 after landing Irish point and scored twice over hurdles last spring at Chepstow/Fontwell. Upped her form a level when second of 10 in handicap over C&D on her return and not taken lightly here despite a 4 lb rise. Went very close over C&D on h'cap debut; remains open to further improvement for top yard. |
|||
5th (8)  (9/1 +18%)Afadil |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Afadil 9/1, Landed a Musselburgh handicap last February and followed that with a series of creditable efforts in good-quality handicaps. yet to hit top form this term but not disgraced when fourth over C&D 20 days ago. Should be sharper now. Not at top of his game on either run this autumn but worth a second look off a handy mark. |
|||
6th (1)  (5/1 +17%)Aurigny Mill |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aurigny Mill 5/1, Took his form up a level for his new yard (formerly with Victor Dartnall) when a most impressive winner of 7-runner handicap hurdle at Newbury (2m) 15 days ago. Up 7 lb but he's a player. Bolted up on recent stable debut at Newbury and a 7lb rise could have been worse. |
|||
7th (2)  (10/1 -82%)Gin Coco |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gin Coco 10/1, Took this 12 months ago and teed himself up well for a repeat off the back of a wind op when a good second of 7 in 2m handicap at Chepstow 42 days ago. Very much one to consider. Won this 12 months ago and returned from wind op with neck second at Chepstow; key player. |
|||
|F| (3)  (14/1 0%)Spirit D'aunou |
14/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Spirit D'aunou 14/1, Scored at Sandown last December and signed off with a solid fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f) in April. Possibilities off a 2 lb lower mark for his return. Hit the buffers in final part of last season but promising previously; not ruled out. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (10/1 -82%)Williethebuilder |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Williethebuilder 10/1, Has advanced his form this term after breathing surgery, scoring at Wetherby (2m) 20 days ago by 1/2 length from Alnilam. Can progress further so must enter calculations. Won at Wetherby last month; 5lb higher in tougher race here but could continue to progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BREAK MY SOUL still appears to be learning on the job and looked the likely winner before being denied in the shadows of the post over C&D on her return. Upped 4lb but with the promise of more improvement to come, she gets the vote to atone for that near-miss. Recent comfortable Newbury scorer Aurigny Mill is a danger, for all that a 7lb rise asks a question of him. Gin Coco completes the shortlist off just 2lb higher than when taking this prize 12 months ago.
Lots with chances but AURIGNY MILL impressed greatly when going in at Newbury recently for his new stable and edges the vote from Nicky Henderson's progressive mare Break My Soul. Wetherby-scorer Williethebuilder, the handily-weighted Afadil and last year's victor Gin Coco are others well worthy of consideration in a highly competitive event.
This could go to the lightly raced 5yo BREAK MY SOUL who was beaten just a nose over C&D on this month's handicap debut.

1st (9)  (5/2 +17%)Law Of Supply |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Law Of Supply 5/2, Winning pointer who showed some promise on sole outing in bumpers and placed on last of 3 starts over hurdles in 2023/24. After 7 months off (had wind op), much improved when successful on chase/handicap debut at Worcester (23f, heavy) in October. Major player. Won eased down on chase debut at Worcester; could still be well treated despite 10lb rise. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/2 -64%)Regatta De Blanc |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Regatta De Blanc 9/2, Unbeaten in 4 points and winner of 2 of 3 starts in hunter chases, scoring by wide margin at Cheltenham (25.3f, heavy) in May. After 5 months off ahead of stable/hurdling debut, possibly needed the run at Chepstow last time, so she's one to note making handicap chase debut. Two hunter chase wins in first half of year; unexposed and could go well on handicap debut. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +11%)Regarde |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Regarde 4/1, Showed improved form switched to chasing last season, winning handicaps at Huntingdon on first 2 starts. Placed on 2 of his remaining 3 outings last season, before making a successful return at Kempton (24f, good to soft) last month. Can give another good account. Made it 3-6 over fences with reappearance win at Kempton; yard is in flying form. |
|||
4th (10)  (17/2 +47%)Hall Lane |
17/2(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hall Lane 17/2, Opened chase account under a change of tactics in 4-runner handicap at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) in July, patiently ridden before idling having looked in control at the last. Below form after 4 months off last time, but he could fare better with cheekpieces added. Won at Market Rasen in July and remains unexposed over 3m; has a chance. |
|||
5th (7)  (12/1 +0%)Bertie Wooster |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bertie Wooster 12/1, Gained reward for consistency over hurdles when opening his account in handicap at Taunton (19f, good) in April. Ran respectably after 6 months off when mid-field at Newton Abbot 23 days ago, but will need to find more as he makes chase debut. Won over hurdles in April; no easy task on chase debut but yard is in fine form. |
|||
6th (11)  (22/1 +0%)Time To Bite |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Time To Bite 22/1, Got back on the up when making all at Newton Abbot in May and continued in good heart when runner-up at Fakenham (21.2f, good) 13 days later. Should strip fitter for recent run at Plumpton, so he could get back on track with that outing behind him. Three wins in the last 12 months but he's back up in grade and is unproven at 3m. |
|||
7th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Laskalin |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Laskalin 12/1, Useful at his best and, while he hasn't got his head in front this term, he returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when runner-up at Taunton (28.4f, soft) in March. Pulled up at Cheltenham when last seen in April, but he's not dismissed from his current mark. Second at Taunton in March but soundly beaten otherwise last season; first run since April. |
|||
8th (6)  (12/1 +14%)Concetto |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Concetto 12/1, Mixed record last season but won 2 of his last 4 starts, making all in blinkers at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) in April. With cheekpieces reapplied after 6 months off, shaped as if better for run at Kempton in October and blinkers now back on. Capable if on a going day. Inconsistent but won twice earlier this year and can make a bold bid if back on song. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (22/1 -57%)Northern Bound |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Northern Bound 22/1, Winless since 2022 but he was placed at Chepstow and Aintree this spring. After 11 weeks off, left behind a lesser effort when fourth of 8 at Worcester (20f, good) 17 days ago and return to this longer trip should suit. Lurks on a dangerous mark. On a handy mark on last season's best form but this 10yo's losing sequence continues. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (28/1 -75%)Morfee |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Morfee 28/1, At least as good as ever having another try at chasing last season, making it 2 wins from his final 3 starts when successful at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) in January. Possibly needed the run after 10-month absence over hurdles at Exeter last time, but others still preferred. Could leave reappearance run behind now back chasing; progressive over fences last term. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
REGARDE scored quite comfortably in the end at Kempton and the stiff nature of Ascot should play to his strengths as he attempts to notch up a fourth win over fences. A 6lb rise could prove lenient and he is preferred to Regatta De Blanc, who will appreciate a return to the larger obstacles having let down odds-on backers on her Chepstow reappearance. Of the others, keep a close eye on Law Of Supply, who won well at Worcester.
A winner in points, LAW OF SUPPLY was successful at the first attempt in chases when scoring eased-down at Worcester last month, so with further improvement to come he could be capable of following up. Regatta de Blanc is a big player, while Kempton winner Regarde can go well again.
The lightly raced point winner LAW OF SUPPLY (nap) impressed on last month's chase debut at Worcester and can defy a 10lb rise.

1st (4)  (7/2 +61%)Kdeux Saint Fray |
7/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kdeux Saint Fray 7/2, £20,000 3-y-o, £48,000 4-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding. Point winner in May. Wears tongue strap. One to note. British point winner whose new trainer does well in bumpers; could be a contender. |

2nd (1)  (13/8 +7%)Blues Singer |
13/8(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blues Singer 13/8, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Music of Tara and overcame inexperience to make a winning start in Kempton junior bumper in March, green (took keen hold) but coming clear. Will improve and good chance of defying a penalty. Impressive on debut at Kempton in March and has to be respected under a penalty. |
|||
3rd (5)  (7/1 +22%)Little Ledgend |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Little Ledgend 7/1, £46,000 4-y-o, Yeats gelding. Dam bumper/19f hurdle winner, half-sister to bumper winner Hard To Swallow. Fourth sole start in Irish points (Mar 2024). Bred to do well in this sphere. Close fourth in Irish maiden point and in-form trainer has healthy strike-rate in bumpers. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/2 -11%)Calvino |
5/2(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Calvino 5/2, €130,000 Walk In The Park gelding out of useful chaser for yard. Appealing newcomer for leading yard who took this last year with a good prospect starting out. Dam was smart for yard; top trainer has won last two runnings; has to be in calculations. |
|||
5th (3)  (18/1 -100%)Flimsy Nosebag |
18/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Flimsy Nosebag 18/1, Much improved from debut when third of 6 in C&D bumper on return 3 weeks ago, not beaten far, although it was a messy race. More needed again. Close third over C&D on second start but further improvement is needed today. |
|||
6th (7)  (33/1 -65%)Top Tier Gossip |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Top Tier Gossip 33/1, Getaway filly. Closely related to fair hurdler Gentle Connections, and half-sister to yard's useful hurdler/very smart chaser Midnight River. Showed some ability but failed to match the turn of foot of the more speedily-bred winner when second in weak Stratford bumper on debut 7 weeks ago. Second of five at Stratford on debut but needs a sizeable step forward today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Paul Nicholls has already had one smart newcomer score in these colours this week and CALVINO has the potential to be another. The four-year-old is out of a mare who won a Listed race over fences for the stable and he may have enough to see off the experience of Blues Singer, who has a 4lb penalty to overcome for a taking debut success at Kempton in March. Kdeux Saint Fray must be monitored for market support as he starts out for shrewd connections.
BLUES SINGER created a good impression when scoring on debut at Kempton in March and is taken to defy a penalty on his return. Calvino and Little Ledgend are very appealing newcomers and the betting should be informative.
Paul Nicholls has won the last two renewals and saddles the attractively bred CALVINO, who earns the vote ahead of Blues Singer.
