|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4)  (10/3 -11%)Fiveafterfour |
10/3(-11%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fiveafterfour 10/3, £80,000 buy after easily winning her sole Irish point. Just modest form to date over hurdles but this longer trip is likely to bring more out of her and she's one to consider on handicap debut. Displayed clear promise in last two qualifying runs; high on the list on handicap debut. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/4 +50%)Spice Diva |
9/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spice Diva 9/4, Lightly-raced hurdler who has only shown modest form to date but shaped a bit better than the bare result when fourth at Catterick a month ago. Tongue strap on for the first time and drop back in trip will help. 0-6 over hurdles but was creditable second in 20-runner Punchestown handicap in December. |
|||
3rd (7)  (10/3 -11%)Joie De Vivre |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Joie De Vivre 10/3, Fair Flat winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 21f handicap at Sedgefield three months ago, responding well. Another bold showing is on the cards despite a 4 lb rise. Won off much-reduced mark at Sedgefield in November and can handle a 3lb rise. |
|||
4th (6)  (11/1 -57%)Moroccan Moon |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Moroccan Moon 11/1, Left previous Rules form behind when third at Catterick last time and, from a low starting point, it would be no surprise if she took another step forward. Beaten under 2l when third of six on recent handicap debut; a possible off same mark here. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/1 +45%)Wild Polly |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wild Polly 11/1, Dropping in the weights but ended last season out of sorts and didn't offer a great deal of encouragement at Newcastle on return. Left behind when pace lifted on last month's reappearance; tricky to weigh up at present. |
|||
6th (3)  (5/1 +38%)Carrigeen Kali |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Carrigeen Kali 5/1, Fair in bumpers and despite looking raw, there was encouragement to glean from pair of fourth placed finishes over hurdles. Pulled up at Kelso last time but too soon to write off switching to handicaps. Ran no race last time but wasn't beaten far when fourth in first two hurdles. |
|||
7th (9)  (22/1 -120%)Vive De Charnie |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vive De Charnie 22/1, Ran to a fair level in a brace of bumpers for Jamie Snowden. Little show over hurdles so far but worth monitoring in the betting now tongue tied for this handicap debut. Second in a bumper two years ago but has struggled over hurdles this season. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 3lb rise for Joie De Vivre's Sedgefield victory in November shouldn't prevent another bold bid, especially as William Maggs' valuable claim effectively cancels that out. However, that form hasn't worked out as hoped so it could be worth taking a punt on handicap debutant FIVEAFTERFOUR. The six-year-old was far from disgraced when weakening into third over an inadequate 2m at Kelso last month and an opening mark of 92 is potentially lenient. Spice Diva also makes some appeal dropped in distance.
FIVEAFTERFOUR has achieved just modest form over hurdles to date following her point win, but the step up in trip is in her favour and she's worth a chance to make a successful start in handicaps. Last-time-out winner Joie de Vivre remains well treated on old form and Spice Diva is also worthy of consideration.
There ought to be a fair bit more to come from FIVEAFTERFOUR, who made the frame in her last two qualifying races.

1st (2)  (2/1 +47%)Netywell |
2/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Netywell 2/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap chase at Haydock (16.3f, heavy, 7/4) 52 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Merits consideration. Won easily at Haydock in a race that fell apart; 7lb rise sees him on a career-high mark. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/2 +42%)Travail D'orfevre |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Travail D'orfevre 7/2, Scored at Carlisle on his return and posted a good second of 5 in handicap chase at this course (20.5f, heavy) 42 days ago. Enters calculations. Carlisle winner in October and has produced similar form since then in defeat. |
|||
3rd (6)  (20/1 -186%)Rocco Storm |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rocco Storm 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Sedgefield in October. Off 11 weeks before fading third of 5 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) 18 days ago. Not ruled out. Hasn't been at his best the last twice, latterly back over fences after a break. |
|||
4th (3)  (3/1 -20%)Fia Fuinidh |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fia Fuinidh 3/1, Made all in 2m handicap hurdle here last winter and loads of promise to glean from a trio of chase efforts this time around, collared only late when second to Ardera Cross over C&D 42 days ago. Since had a wind op. Big shout. Had wind surgery since capitulating on the run-in at Ayr (beaten by Ardera Cross). |
|||
5th (1)  (15/2 +25%)Moonlighter |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Moonlighter 15/2, 14/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 20 days ago, going with enthusiasm. In the mix. Only 7l away at Chepstow last time and dropping back in distance could be a good thing. |
|||
6th (7)  (10/1 -100%)Ardera Cross |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ardera Cross 10/1, Gained her sixth C&D win in 6-runner handicap chase (heavy) 42 days ago by 2 lengths from Fia Fuinidh. Also captured this prize 12 months ago so this veteran is very much one to consider again. Last month at Ayr he secured career victory number 18 with a 2l defeat of Fia Fuinidh. |
|||
7th (5)  (10/1 -100%)Duty Calls |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Duty Calls 10/1, Creditable second of 5 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, heavy, 11/2) 46 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Exposed veteran but has twice run well in Kelso handicaps since returning from a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MOONLIGHTER's stamina appeared stretched when weakening inside the final furlong at Chepstow last month. The veteran may be able to build on that fourth-placed effort over this shorter trip and a fourth victory over fences could be imminent. Nine-time course winner Ardera Cross always warrants a second look at this venue and he shouldn't be underestimated having scored over track and trip on his most recent outing, while fellow last-time-out winner Netywell isn't dismissed either.
FIA FUINIDH has taken well to fences and is fancied to build on his second to Ardera Cross over C&D last time and gain a first success in this sphere. William Young's veteran is feared most in his bid to follow up last year's win in this event, with fellow C&D scorers Netywell and Rocco Storm also firmly in the picture.
On the back of wind surgery, FIA FUINIDH is not without hope of reversing recent course placings with the veteran Ardera Cross.

1st (6)  (11/4 +8%)Artic Row |
11/4(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Artic Row 11/4, Justified market confidence in C&D handicap in good style in December and in the process of running well when fell two out at Kelso a month ago. Should put up another bold showing. Stylish C&D winner in December and was running well before falling on latest outing. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/1 +36%)Monochromix |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Monochromix 9/1, Fair maiden hurdler who appears to have lost his form for the time being and is likely to need this initial experience of chasing. Second on handicap hurdle debut in October but has gone the wrong way since; chase debut. |
|||
3rd (8)  (11/1 +21%)Azof Des Mottes |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Azof Des Mottes 11/1, Looked value for extra when winning 14-runner handicap chase at Kelso in April. Broke blood vessel on reappearance there last month but could get back on track if he's none the worse. Didn't run badly last month, after a break, but would appeal more on better ground. |
|||
4th (7)  (7/2 +56%)Euchan Falls |
7/2(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Euchan Falls 7/2, Dual winner at 20f over hurdles who made a solid start over fences but wasn't quite on his game at Musselburgh last time. Still early days for him in this sphere. Didn't fire on latest outing but a big player if judged on C&D second in December. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/4 -10%)Indian Louis |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Indian Louis 11/4, Dual point winner who, having shown modest form over hurdles, proved a different proposition when making a winning chasing debut at Musselburgh 43 days ago. Excellent claims again. Made all on recent chase/handicap debut at Musselburgh and can probably improve again. |
|||
6th (5)  (9/1 +18%)Lisloran |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lisloran 9/1, Won 3 times over fences at around 2½m last winter. Went backwards from reappearance when down the field over hurdles at Carlisle a couple of months ago and now tried in tongue strap/cheekpieces. Could do better back at this venue. Dual C&D winner last season; well beaten over hurdles last time; new headgear added today. |
|||
7th (1)  (14/1 +30%)Le Malin |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Le Malin 14/1, Fairly useful chaser at best and, while he hasn't been firing so far this term. he's worth a market check returning from 4 months off. Out of form when last seen in the autumn; needs to have been refreshed by a break. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (16/1 -433%)Knocknagappagh |
16/1(-433%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Knocknagappagh 16/1, Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. Very good second of 10 in handicap chase at Punchestown (19.7f, soft, 8/1) 30 days ago. Arrives in good order and mark looks fair. 0-23 overall but kept on for second at Punchestown last month and Brian Hughes rides here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
INDIAN LOUIS proved a different proposition when making all on his handicap/chase debut at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. A 5lb rise for that first victory looks far from insurmountable and Lucinda Russell's six-year-old should take all the beating. Knocknagappagh posted a solid second on her return to handicap company at Punchestown last time and the Getaway mare is feared most with Brian Hughes aboard, while Artic Row still looks to have more to offer in this sphere as well.
INDIAN LOUIS looked a natural switched to chasing at Musselburgh last time and he's fancied to follow up with the potential for a good deal more improvement. Artic Row is a big threat and Knocknagappagh has been running well in Ireland of late.
Preference is for ARTIC ROW, who was quite impressive over C&D in December and remains lightly raced over fences.

2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) President Scottie 2/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers and he has made a promising start over hurdles, posting an excellent second of 7 in novice over C&D (heavy) 42 days ago. Open to further improvement. Leading contender. Second to a good prospect over C&D last month and a likely contender again today. |
|||
2nd (6)  (125/1 -25%)Didnt Ask |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Didnt Ask 125/1, Won the first of his 2 starts in points but well held over hurdles in maidens at Kilbeggan (for Paul Gilligan last June) and Hexham in November. Well beaten when falling on rules debut at Hexham in November (150-1). |
|||
3rd (16)  (25/1 +24%)Tommy Combats |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Tommy Combats 25/1, Bought for £21,000 after finishing third on the first of 2 starts in Irish points. More one for the longer term judged on his two C&D hurdle runs this winter, fourth of 14 on latter occasion. Can do better. Showed only minor promise in 2m course maidens on first two hurdling starts. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/4 +29%)Annaghbeg |
5/4(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Annaghbeg 5/4, Fair maiden. 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20.2f, soft) 49 days ago. Solid form claims. Not at best last time but ran to fairly useful level when placed on first two hurdle runs. |
|||
5th (8)  (100/1 -203%)Lahardaun |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lahardaun 100/1, Placed on both of his completed starts in Irish points but always behind on both his runs over hurdles. Placed in two Irish points but showed no significant promise on first two hurdling starts. |
|||
6th (7)  (33/1 -65%)Joie More |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Joie More 33/1, 80/1, sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, good) on NH debut 101 days ago. Made frame both completed starts in Irish points so could still do better. Not beaten far in good 2m novice here on rules debut in November; considered each-way. |
|||
7th (17)  (14/1 -155%)Tommys Law |
14/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Tommys Law 14/1, Twice second in points before coming in fifth of 10 in bumper (3/1) at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) on NH debut 117 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Had wind op/tongue strap on for 1st time. Worth a market check. Second in both Irish points but made low-key rules debut in a Carlisle bumper. |
|||
8th (4)  (33/1 -32%)Boolamore Classic |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Boolamore Classic 33/1, Fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy, 11/1) on NH debut 38 days ago, going in snatches. More is needed. Made low-key rules debut when remote fourth at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) last month.. |
|||
9th (1)  (20/1 +80%)Adveram |
20/1(+80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Adveram 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 15 in novice hurdle (125/1) at this course (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 64 days ago. Up in trip with more required. Not disgraced when midfield here (2m) on hurdling debut; one for another day, though. |
|||
|F| (10)  (10/3 -90%)Myretown |
10/3(-90%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Myretown 10/3, £135,000 buy after winning an Irish point in April 2022. Off 15 months before shaping well when clear second of 14 in novice here (16f, heavy, 6/1) on his hurdles bow 42 days ago. Goes up in trip with more to offer. Player. Made pleasing hurdle debut when second of 14 here (2m) last month; up in trip today. |
|||
10th (5)  (250/1 -25%)Cave Hill |
250/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cave Hill 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 42 days ago. Struggled when 250-1 outsider for two maiden hurdles here (2m/2m4f) this season. |
|||
11th (11)  (40/1 -60%)Plumbago |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Plumbago 40/1, €19,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to temperamental but useful chaser Lounge Lizard and fair hurdler Midnight Shuffle, stays 2½m. Dam smart bumper/2m hurdle winner. Considered newcomer. Out of a smart hurdler but probably best watched on debut. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (80/1 -60%)Beat The Boum |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beat The Boum 80/1, Fourth sole start in Irish points and remote third of 6 in novice hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, heavy, 25/1) on NH debut 46 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Did not achieve much when remote third on hurdling debut at Kelso. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (150/1 -200%)Midnight Fiddler |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Midnight Fiddler 150/1, Thirteenth of 14 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Kelso (18.1f, good). Off 10 months and lots more is needed on his first run for new yard. Struggled on first three hurdling starts; now with new stable. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (150/1 -127%)Sea Prince |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Sea Prince 150/1, Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. Pulled up on yard bow in handicap hurdle at this course (18f, soft) 55 days ago so lots more is required. Pulled up off lowly mark in 2m2f handicap here on stable debut in December. |
|||
|PU| (14)  (150/1 -50%)Swedish Icon |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Swedish Icon 150/1, 200/1, last of 7 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (22f, soft) on hurdles bow 61 days ago, running green. Well beaten in both bumpers and on hurdling debut. |
|||
|PU| (15)  (200/1 -100%)Teddy Mac |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Teddy Mac 200/1, Last of 8 in bumper at Newcastle (16.9f, soft, 125/1) 61 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Did not show enough in two bumpers last year to be of significant interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MYRETOWN finished 12 lengths clear of the third on his hurdles debut over 2m last month and he would have learnt a great deal from that experience. Lucinda Russell's gelding now takes a step up in distance and he could prove very hard to beat. President Scottie has shown ability on each of his starts over timber, including when filling the runner-up berth over C&D last time, and he has to be considered. Of the remainder, Annaghbeg appeals most after his fourth at Down Royal.
PRESIDENT SCOTTIE looked a winner in waiting when a fine second over C&D last time so is taken to edge out Lucinda Russell's Myretown, who also appeals as a good prospect on the back of his own promising runner-up effort here last month. Annaghbeg has the form to play a part too while fellow Irish raider Plumbago is not without interest on his hurdling bow and worth a market check.
Myretown can improve but ANNAGHBEG sets a pretty good standard if judged on the form of his first two hurdle runs.

7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shoeshine Boy 7/1, C&D winner who was well below form in 6-runner handicap at Haydock (24.3f, heavy, 5/1) 45 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Big player if bouncing back. Below form on heavy ground last time but began season with two good seconds. |
|||
2nd (3)  (5/1 +0%)Lady In The Park |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lady In The Park 5/1, Irish point winner who confirmed the promise of her hurdling bow when winning a 7-runner novice at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) 49 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Opening mark could have been a bit kinder but greater test of stamina expected to suit and she's open to further improvement. Unexposed mare; moves up in trip after winning 2m3f Wetherby novice on Boxing Day. |
|||
2nd (6)  (11/4 +50%)Cream Of The West |
11/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cream Of The West 11/4, Improved to make a winning start in handicaps in 7-runner event at this course (21.4f, soft) 55 days ago, by 1¼ lengths from Enemy At The Gate, driven out. Nudged up 5 lb but may do better still. Improved to win here over 2m5f on handicap debut in December; upped in trip again today. |
|||
4th (10)  (14/1 -40%)Artic Mann |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Artic Mann 14/1, Returned from a long absence with a creditable second at Kelso (20.9f) in October and has run creditably both outings since. Likely to remain competitive. Has a bit to find with Teescomponentstrig but has been placed on his last three outings. |
|||
5th (8)  (11/2 +27%)Enemy At The Gate |
11/2(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Enemy At The Gate 11/2, Maiden who ran as well as he ever has when beaten only by Cream of The West in 7-runner handicap at this course (21.4f, soft) 55 days ago, clear of rest. Merits consideration. 0-9 over hurdles but has made the frame five consecutive times; new trip today. |
|||
6th (11)  (33/1 -230%)Paddy Elvis |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Paddy Elvis 33/1, Modest at best in bumpers/over hurdles and has stamina to prove now stepping up appreciably in distance on handicap debut. Hiked up in trip for today's handicap debut and worth a glance in the betting. |
|||
7th (1)  (9/1 -157%)Teescomponentstrig |
9/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Teescomponentstrig 9/1, 9-y-o who proved he's as good as ever when second of 7 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Newcastle (23.7f, heavy) 38 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Should go well again. Clear second to a next-time-out winner on latest outing; major player here. |

8th (9)  (80/1 -100%)Toombridge |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Toombridge 80/1, Finished runner-up on his completed start in Irish points but was probably flattered by his proximity to the principals in a falsely-run race at Newcastle in April and has been pulled up both starts this season. Has had a breathing operation. Pulled up on both starts this season; needs recent wind op to make massive difference. |
|||
9th (13)  (9/1 +0%)Lewa House |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lewa House 9/1, Bounced back to form when second of 14 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at this course (20.4f, heavy) 42 days ago. Needs to back that up in a stronger race than he need contest from 4 lb out of the weights. Posted sound effort when second here (2m4f) last month but is 4lb wrong today. |
|||
10th (2)  (25/1 -56%)Justicialism |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Justicialism 25/1, Fair handicap hurdler who was well held on his completed start over fences at Down Royal (20f, soft, 66/1) on Boxing Day. Tries a longer trip back over hurdles on first outing for a new yard. Struggled over fences in late 2023; back hurdling over new trip for stable debut. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (11/2 +15%)Rob Roy Macgregor |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rob Roy Macgregor 11/2, Carlisle bumper winner in March. Offered something to work on first 2 hurdle starts prior to not getting home in a slog at a much longer trip at Kelso (22.7f). Has had a breathing operation ahead of handicap debut and should stay this far on pedigree. Slightly disappointing last time but could still have significant untapped potential. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (33/1 -175%)Niceandeasy |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Niceandeasy 33/1, Dual-winning chaser in the first half of 2022 but jumping errors consistently proved an issue. Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when landing a 3m2f Kelso handicap hurdle in November but wasn't in the same form at Haydock the following month. Game winner two starts ago but has become hard to predict; younger rivals appeal more. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (150/1 -50%)Manfrominverlochy |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Manfrominverlochy 150/1, Has yet to show any worthwhile form. Fell when a big-priced outsider for first two handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TEESCOMPONENTSTRIG produced a highly encouraging display to hit the crossbar in a class 3 event at Newcastle last time and he was only put up 2lb for that effort. The son of Black Sam Bellamy takes a drop in grade and he has similar conditions to contend with in first-time blinkers, which could eke out the improvement needed to score. Lady In The Park got up by half a length to shed her maiden tag under Rules at Wetherby on Boxing Day and she makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut, while Cream Of The West is another to consider after his success here last time.
TEESCOMPONENTSTRIG proved he's as good as ever when second to a subsequent winner at Newcastle last month and is the percentage call to go one better in a change of headgear back down in grade. Shoeshine Boy is sure to be in the thick of the action if bouncing back from a poor run at Haydock, with handicap-debutante Lady In The Park and the lighty-raced Cream of The West completing the shortlist.
Second to a revitalised subsequent winner last month, TEESCOMPONENTSTRIG (nap) still looks well handicapped after a 2lb nudge.

1st (2)  (17/2 -31%)Camp Belan |
17/2(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Camp Belan 17/2, Thorough stayer who gained his sole success to date at Kelso in November 2022. Rather-in-and out since but he put in a decent shift when third in first-time blinkers (retained) back at that venue latest and is lurking on a potentially handy mark. Just 1-16 over fences but ended 2023 with some good efforts on slow ground; in the mix. |
|||
2nd (7)  (13/2 +46%)Heritier De Sivola |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Heritier De Sivola 13/2, Maiden Irish pointer who made all in a novice handicap hurdle at Kelso in December 2022. However, he hasn't pulled up any trees in 3 starts switched to fences this season and hopes now pinned on the addition of cheekpieces working the oracle. Yet to convince over fences but now dangerously well handicapped on hurdling form. |
|||
3rd (8)  (10/3 +52%)Baron Briggs |
10/3(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Baron Briggs 10/3, Better efforts since undergoing a wind op, finishing third in handicaps at Kelso (17f) and Musselburgh (20.3f) the last twice. This lightly-raced 7-y-o remains unexposed over fences (and as a stayer) and is one to consider. Kept on well for third over 2m4f at Musselburgh last month; might do better over this trip. |
|||
4th (4)  (22/1 -38%)Skyhill |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Skyhill 22/1, Veteran who ended last season on a winning note and stepped up on his reappearance third when getting the better of subsequent scorer Event of Sivola at Catterick (25.2f, heavy) on New Year's Day. However, he failed to fire off this mark last time and needs to bounce back. Has very good strike-rate over fences but disappointed last time and remains on tough mark. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/2 -83%)Deep Charm |
11/2(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Deep Charm 11/2, Going through a good spell at present, bagging handicaps at Sedgefield and Market Rasen prior to a near miss when bidding for the hat-trick at Kelso (21.6f, heavy). Raised 4 lb for that but this step back up in trip looks a good move and he's high on the shortlist. Well clear of third when going close on recent hat-trick bid; respected in current mood. |
|||
6th (5)  (12/1 -20%)Gipsy Lee Rose |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gipsy Lee Rose 12/1, Capitalised on a career-low mark when scoring by a whisker at Kelso in November with Camp Belan (now 5 lb better off for a 5½-length beating) back in third. Her record is rather patchy, though, and she wasn't in the same form next time. Not as good as she was but kept on stoutly for narrow win at Kelso in November; a possible. |
|||
7th (10)  (10/3 +58%)Cowboy Cooper |
10/3(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cowboy Cooper 10/3, Remains winless following 10 attempts overall but he made a positive start in this sphere when third in an 11-runner handicap at Catterick (25.2f, soft) last month. Needs considering off an unchanged mark. 0-10 overall but made pretty good start to chasing when third at Catterick last month. |
|||
8th (6)  (8/1 -60%)Artic Breeze |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Artic Breeze 8/1, Showed little in 6 hurdle starts for Laura Morgan but was an Irish point winner earlier in his career and duly made much more of an impact when second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on return/chase debut on Boxing Day. Possibilities if able to build on that here. Runner-up on seasonal/stable/chase debut at Market Rasen; can build on that performance. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (14/1 -40%)Goodoldbill |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Goodoldbill 14/1, Sprang a surprise when winning an 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (23.4f, good to soft) on second start over fences in November. Failed to repeat that at the same course next time, though, and others look more solid. Held on well for surprise Newcastle win in November but weakened tamely there last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Narrowly denied the hat-trick at Kelso last month, DEEP CHARM should be well suited by going back up in trip and conditions should not inconvenience as he looks to overcome a 4lb rise. The son of Kayf Tara gets the vote ahead of the capable Post Chaise and the unexposed Artic Breeze, who ran well on his first start for last year's winning trainer at Market Rasen. Others to note include Camp Belan, Gipsy Lee Rose and Skyhill.
Several to consider in this competitive handicap with POST CHAISE taken to defy top-weight. The form of his latest start in this sphere looks solid and he has subsequently performed with credit over hurdles. Deep Charm's jumping hasn't always been foot-perfect but he's hard to knock judged on recent form and is feared most. Cowboy Cooper is also respected, along with Baron Briggs and Camp Belan.
Top of the list is BARON BRIGGS, who recovered well from some slow jumps on the first circuit to finish third on his latest outing.

1st (3)  (5/4 +9%)Pitwood Road |
5/4(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pitwood Road 5/4, Winner of sole start between the flags and good second on Rules debut in a Tipperary bumper last spring. Backward step on return at Thurles in December but now tried in blinkers and should be sharper this time. The one to beat. Major player on her Tipperary second; lesser show since then and now blinkered. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/1 -57%)Golden Point |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Golden Point 11/1, From a good family and showed a bit when fourth on debut here. Failed to progress next time but it's still early days and she's not written off. Yard also saddles Visual Impact. Modest RPRs of 86 in both her runs (good to soft) and probably has to raise her game. |
|||
3rd (5)  (16/5 +47%)Roebuck Bay |
16/5(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Roebuck Bay 16/5, Has shown clear signs of ability in bumpers at Kelso and Newcastle but not enough to suggest she'll be up to winning this. Beaten in the region of 4l in bumpers at Kelso and Newcastle; now against own sex. |
|||
4th (7)  (11/2 +21%)Visual Impact |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Visual Impact 11/2, €46,000 3-y-o, £100,000 4-y-o, Westerner mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Storm Home. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Wests Awake. Runner-up sole start in maiden points and she's one to note in the betting. Bought for £100,000 since finishing second in 3m Irish point (soft; winner not seen since). |
|||
5th (4)  (9/2 -50%)Road To Mallow |
9/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Road To Mallow 9/2, Yeats mare. Sister to a point winner. Dam, point/bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Glynn. Yard does well in bumpers and it'll be interesting to see which way she goes in the betting. Fifth foal; sister to point winner The Sad Shepherd; dam point/bumper winner. |
|||
6th (6)  (100/1 -100%)Tread Softly Now |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tread Softly Now 100/1, Beaten a long way in bumpers at Perth and Hexham last spring, and big step forward will be needed if she's to make it third time lucky. Weakish form claims on her two efforts thus far and she's bred for staying chases. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fresh off a double at Naas on Saturday, the Terence O'Brien stable couldn't be in better form and PITWOOD ROAD looks well capable of landing the spoils in this winnable contest. The booking of Brian Hughes looks significant and she may have too much for Golden Point, as well as Roebuck Bay, who has shaped with promise on both career outings. Road To Mallow should be noted for market support as she makes her debut for shrewd connections.
It could be a 1-2 for the Irish with PITWOOD ROAD and Road To Mallow both appealing candidates. The latter is a likely type on paper and it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting but Pitwood Road is given another chance to build on the abundant promise of her Rules debut second at Tipperary. Visual Impact is third choice ahead of stablemate Golden Point.
Preference is for ROEBUCK BAY who now goes against her own sex after two promising efforts. Pitwood Road is second choice.

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.
