1st (5)  (7/4 +65%)Hombre De Guerra |
7/4(+65%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hombre De Guerra 7/4, Fair form when placed in maiden/novice hurdles at up to 20.5f here this winter. Likely he'll be in the shake-up again. Eyecatching second over C&D in November, and his last-time-out third was also promising. |
|||
2nd (8)  (22/1 -57%)Tommys Law |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tommys Law 22/1, Runner-up twice in points but more one for the longer term judged on his performances in a Carlisle bumper and 20.5f course maiden hurdle since switching to Rules. Second in two Irish points last year but has made disappointing start to rules career. |
|||
3rd (4)  (2/1 -60%)Hazy Glen |
2/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hazy Glen 2/1, Bumper winner who has shown promise when runner-up on both hurdle starts, with the form of his latest 2½m Newcastle near miss boosted by the third, fourth and sixth winning since. The one to beat. Runner-up on first two hurdling starts; strong claims if coping with drop back in trip. |
|||
4th (6)  (40/1 -100%)Reforme |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Reforme 40/1, Showed a bit when fourth in a Musselburgh bumper at the turn of the year. Quickly switches to hurdles. One of 4 runners from his yard. Made quite encouraging bumper debut in January and should have a future over jumps. |
|||
5th (7)  (4/1 +27%)Ridin Solo |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ridin Solo 4/1, Point winner who has shown promise when runner-up over 17f at Sedgefield and Carlisle since switched to hurdles. He should be on the premises again. Irish point winner; ran well in defeat on both hurdling starts; probably won't be far away. |
|||
6th (1)  (50/1 -100%)Aldbourne |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aldbourne 50/1, Fair handicapper on Flat for Harry Eustace. Showed a bit when sixth of 8 on recent Newcastle hurdle debut (2m, soft) but possibly more one for handicaps in this sphere. Dual Flat winner in 2022 but made low-key stable debut at Newcastle last month. |
|||
7th (2)  (5/1 -122%)Ayiko |
5/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ayiko 5/1, Won a course bumper in December. Not up to a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival since but he should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling. Impressed in course bumper in December and has a major role to play on hurdling debut. |
|||
8th (3)  (250/1 -25%)Flying Sandpiper |
250/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Flying Sandpiper 250/1, No promise in 2 bumpers and a novice hurdle at Kelso. Pulled up when 300-1 for last month's hurdle debut at Kelso. |
|||
|F| (9)  (200/1 -400%)Balfour Girl |
200/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Balfour Girl 200/1, Jack Hobbs filly who was a remote fifth in a Perth bumper last summer. Watching brief advised now hurdling after 7 months off. Beaten about 43l when fifth of seven in good-ground course bumper last summer. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (400/1 -300%)Suleiman Artist |
400/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Suleiman Artist 400/1, Modest form at best in a trio of bumpers for Nigel Twiston-Davies and remote sixth on C&D hurdle/stable debut 11 days ago. Showed minor promise in bumpers but struggled on recent stable/hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AYIKO was pitched in at the deep end when finishing last in a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival, having struck here the time before. Now switching his attention to hurdling, Stuart Crawford's gelding makes plenty of appeal and gets the vote to make a winning start in this sphere. Hazy Glen went close at Newcastle, but will need to handle a drop in trip. With that in mind, the main threat could prove to be Ridin Solo following his seconds at Sedgefield and Carlisle.
The form of HAZY GLEN's close second at Newcastle at the end of January has received a few boosts since and he's the one to beat dropping back in trip. Course bumper winner Ayiko is a possible threat if taking to his new discipline, while Ridin Solo and Hombre de Guerra have been placed in similar events this season and should be competitive again.
The suggestion is HAZY GLEN, who went down fighting at Newcastle last month and had a couple of next-time-out winners behind him.

1st (3)  (7/4 +36%)Cancan |
7/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cancan 7/4, C&D winner. Respectable third of 10 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) 19 days ago. Arrives in better form than most and is worth taking a chance on. C&D winner in 2021 and returns here after two Musselburgh thirds last month; in the mix. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/1 +55%)Mack The Man |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mack The Man 9/1, Four-time winner over hurdles but mixed form in 4 starts last season and yet to fire this term. Something to prove. Ran quite well on stable debut but two lesser efforts have followed; new headgear tried. |
|||
3rd (4)  (12/1 -85%)Serious Ego |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Serious Ego 12/1, Latest win in hurdle at Hexham in November. Respectable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy, 14/1) 14 days ago, barely adequate test. Not discounted. Won twice at Hexham in November but not quite at same level since; others preferred. |
|||
4th (10)  (11/1 +67%)Don't Look Back |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Don't Look Back 11/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1m) but well held completed starts in this sphere. Others make more appeal. Safely held all on three stable starts and now 0-7 over hurdles; not the obvious answer. |
|||
5th (14)  (66/1 -100%)Captain Nelson |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Captain Nelson 66/1, Little worthwhile form and jumping is a major issue. Switches to handicapping after a break. 0-7 in novice/maiden hurdles, completing only twice and showing no significant promise. |
|||
6th (8)  (10/1 -67%)Batman For Ever |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Batman For Ever 10/1, Fair winning hurdler/chaser at up to 2½m in France in 2021 but didn't offer much for Rebecca Menzies and tame start for this yard in handicap hurdle at Newcastle 22 days ago. Attracted support last time so not completely ruled out. Well beaten on last month's stable debut but still worth keeping an eye on in the betting. |
|||
7th (1)  (20/1 -67%)Kellie's Dream |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kellie's Dream 20/1, Dual hurdler winner for Andrew Slattery in Ireland. Below form on first start for this yard at Carlisle 18 days ago but could step up on that. Dual winner when trained in Ireland but made low-key stable debut last month. |
|||
8th (5)  (14/1 -40%)River Ayr |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) River Ayr 14/1, Promise in bumpers and seems to have been brought along gradually over hurdles. Could step forward now handicapping but assessor has taken no chances with opening mark. Respectable fifth in Sedgefield maiden last month; makes handicap debut today. |
|||
9th (9)  (14/1 -100%)Northern Cardinal |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Northern Cardinal 14/1, Third in a bumper in April but has been a bit too keen to date over hurdles. Could make more of an impact if he settles better on handicap bow. Showed only minor promise in his qualifying races but might improve in handicaps. |
|||
|F| (6)  (15/2 +25%)Skiddaw |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Skiddaw 15/2, Has shown ability in his 2 completed hurdle runs. Pulled up last time but given a break ahead of this handicap debut, so worth monitoring in the betting. Well beaten in two C&D maidens this winter; needs wind op to have made a difference. |
|||
|F| (13)  (33/1 +0%)Golden Swift |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Golden Swift 33/1, Well held in a bumper/over hurdles. Hard to fancy despite switch to handicaps. Struggled to get competitive when a big-priced outsider for three maiden hurdles. |
|||
10th (12)  (9/1 +0%)Lifetime Adventure |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Lifetime Adventure 9/1, Modest maiden hurdler who ran with credit when fourth at Wetherby 8 days ago. Tongue tied now but no certainty to back up latest effort. 0-9 over hurdles but ran quite well last week; back in trip with tongue-tie added today. |
|||
11th (11)  (28/1 +15%)Iolani |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Iolani 28/1, =Veteran who arrives here on a losing run and has gone off the boil lately. Up against it. Six-time hurdle winner but not since 2021; out of form when last seen in the autumn. |
|||
12th (7)  (28/1 -460%)Sword Of Fate |
28/1(-460%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sword Of Fate 28/1, Front runner who capitalised on a drop in grade when scoring over fences at Perth. Decent second at Cartmel next time and shaped as if still in form last time. Not seen for 178 days and back over hurdles now, but warrants a market check. Veteran; better known as a chaser now and has fitness to prove after six-month absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SERIOUS EGO was in fine form earlier in the season, with a brace of victories at Hexham in November before a couple of underwhelming performances. His most recent third at Sedgefield was a step back in the right direction and the use of Conor Rabbitt's 5lb claim gives him every chance of a decent showing. Lifetime Adventure may benefit from a first-time tongue-tie, while the consistent Cancan and handicap debutant River Ayr are others to note.
CANCAN has been holding her form well, which is more than can be said for most, so she gets the nod ahead of Serious Ego, who ran with credit last time. Northern Cardinal is probably the pick of the numerous handicap debutants.
This might go to is handicap debutant NORTHERN CARDINAL, who is of interest if judged on last spring's bumper third.

1st (2)  (3/1 +10%)Follow Charlie |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Follow Charlie 3/1, Chased home a next-time-out winner over 2m here on handicap debut before going one better in a 14-runner event over C&D. Shaped as if still in good form in a stronger race at Newcastle since. C&D winner in January; only fourth off new mark last month but remains of interest. |
|||
2nd (5)  (25/1 -127%)Master Bricklayer |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Master Bricklayer 25/1, First sign of promise when fifth of 9 in a 2m maiden at Kelso in December. However, looked none too keen when well held back there last time. Up in trip for handicap bow. Shaped with promise in one of his three qualifying races; up in trip for handicap debut. |
|||
3rd (11)  (17/2 +39%)Lewa House |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lewa House 17/2, Inconsistent sort but would have claims on the pick of his form back down in trip/grade. Took modest second over C&D in January but never seriously involved over 3m last month. |
|||
4th (8)  (10/3 -67%)Weaver's Answer |
10/3(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Weaver's Answer 10/3, Improved with cheekpieces added when gaining second hurdle success at Plumpton (25f, soft) last week, drawing 17 lengths clear. Looks ahead of the handicapper turned out under a penalty but the drop back in trip may not be ideal. Won by 17l in first-time cheekpieces 11 days ago; 5lb well in under 7lb penalty here. |
|||
5th (3)  (40/1 -100%)Kilkee Royal |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kilkee Royal 40/1, Minor promise in his qualifying runs in Ireland and was well held kept to 2m on his handicap debut at Sedgefield in October. Needs a sizable step forward but this step up in trip will suit. Never really got involved when 33-1 for handicap debut at Sedgefield in October. |
|||
6th (10)  (7/1 +22%)Kingston Rock |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kingston Rock 7/1, Well held in bumpers but hasn't shaped at all badly both starts in handicaps, including behind a thrown-in rival at Carlisle (17f, heavy) last time. Not dismissed back up in trip. Ran quite well in first two handicaps (2m6f/2m1f) and has each-way claims. |
|||
7th (4)  (10/1 +0%)One Step Up |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) One Step Up 10/1, Has yet to build on his promise in novice/maiden hurdles in handicaps but it's still early days and he may have benefited from both a break and a breathing operation. Made low-key start to handicap career but January's wind op may enable improvement. |
|||
8th (1)  (16/1 +20%)City Derby |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) City Derby 16/1, Posted a number of good efforts earlier in the year but has been well below form on his last 3 outings, finding little at Carlisle latest. Back up in trip with plenty to prove. Ran well to a point in stronger race than this last time and is well handicapped now. |
|||
9th (6)  (22/1 -100%)Broomhill Road |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Broomhill Road 22/1, Minor promise in a pair of bumpers and showed a bit more than previously over hurdles when seventh of 10 in a novice (80/1) at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Wears first-time visor for handicap bow. Has not yet delivered on his bumper promise over hurdles; visored for handicap debut. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (5/1 +33%)Beat The Retreat |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Beat The Retreat 5/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (18f, soft, 9/1) in December. Disappointing bidding to follow-up next time but bounced back to form after a 7-week break when third of 11 at Musselburgh (19.8f) 19 days ago. Placed at Musselburgh since 2m2f course win in December and not yet fully exposed. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (14/1 +0%)Eden Mill |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Eden Mill 14/1, Resumed with a good second at Kelso (21f, soft) in November and built on that when scoring with a good deal to spare over the same C&D next time. Found less than looked likely at Newcastle and ran even worse refitted with a tongue strap at Musselburgh 19 days ago. Bit to prove at present. Won easily at Kelso in November but form has dipped since; now has a point to prove. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (80/1 -100%)Vive De Charnie |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Vive De Charnie 80/1, Fair form in bumpers for Jamie Snowden but little form in various events over hurdles for current yard following 21 months off. Unexposed after only four hurdling starts but was well beaten over C&D on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Broomhill Road hasn't achieved what his bumper form suggested he might be capable of in three attempts over hurdles so far. That said, the five-year-old now sports a visor for the first time on his handicap debut and it would be no surprise to see him step forward. However, WEAVER'S ANSWER is 5lb well-in under a penalty after routing the opposition at Plumpton 11 days ago and the drop in trip shouldn't be a concern. Beat The Retreat and Follow Charlie are others likely to be in the mix.
FOLLOW CHARLIE goes well at this track and shaped as if still in good form in a stronger race than he need contest at Newcastle last month, so it's reasonable to assume he can resume winning ways back in a 0-100. Weaver's Answer is much respected under a penalty for all that the drop back in trip isn't sure to suit, while Kingston Rock didn't shape at all badly behind a handicap blot last time and is another to consider.
It's worth chancing CITY DERBY, who is well handicapped on some of his early-season form and hinted at a possible revival last month.

1st (7)  (9/4 +18%)Artic Row |
9/4(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Artic Row 9/4, Justified market confidence in C&D handicap in good style in December. Made it 3-3 over obstacles at this course when getting the better of an argument with Monochromix last time and while this 7 lb higher mark demands more, he remains open to improvement as a chaser. Won over C&D both times he completed over fences, latterly last month; likely contender. |
|||
2nd (3)  (11/1 -69%)High Moon |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) High Moon 11/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner who opened his account in determined fashion at Newcastle last spring. Yet to put his best foot forward this season but he is at least edging down the weights (now 3 lb below the mark he won off at Newcastle) and perhaps the addition of cheekpieces will give him a lift. 3lb below his winning chase mark but yet to strike form this season; cheekpieces now added. |
|||
3rd (9)  (9/2 -29%)Coniston Clouds |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Coniston Clouds 9/2, Hurdles winner last spring and promising start over fences when landing a Catterick handicap (19.2f, good to soft) on return in November. Took a nasty fall at Sedgefield next time but he's unexposed in this sphere and will be a threat provided his confidence hasn't been dented. Clearcut winner on seasonal/chase debut; fell next time but still commands respect here. |
|||
4th (6)  (7/2 +22%)Monochromix |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Monochromix 7/2, Form dipped following a solid reappearance effort over hurdles but got back on track switched to fences when beaten ¾-length by Artic Row over C&D (heavy) last month, the pair pulling well clear of the rest. Another bold show likely. Emerged from slump in form and ran big race in defeat over C&D on last month's chase debut. |
|||
5th (10)  (20/1 -43%)Ardera Cross |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ardera Cross 20/1, Nine-time course winner, the latest gained in a 6-runner handicap over 2m at the turn of the year. Didn't do a great deal wrong when fourth over C&D recently but was no match for Artic Row in the run up to Christmas and he looks vulnerable for win purposes on this occasion. Unreliable nowadays but his 2m win in January was his ninth success at this track. |
|||
6th (5)  (9/2 +0%)Leading Force |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Leading Force 9/2, rish point winner who finished runner-up 4 times over hurdles last season. Also found just one too good over an inadequate trip on chase debut at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) and can be expected to build on that back up in distance here. Placed in three 2m4f hurdles this season; back up in trip after 2m1f second on chase debut. |
|||
7th (4)  (20/1 -25%)Grand Voyage |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Grand Voyage 20/1, Off the mark at the second attempt in this sphere over C&D back in November 2022 but more miss than hit since, offering little in 4 outings so far this season. Hopes now pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking a return to form. Out of form over hurdles and fences this season; revival needed in first-time cheekpieces. |
|||
8th (1)  (100/1 -525%)Innovated |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Innovated 100/1, Ended his time with Henry de Bromhead on a lesser note and has failed to complete both starts for new yard this season. Now tried in a tongue strap. Hurdle/chase winner in Ireland in 2022 but has struggled on both starts for new stable. |
|||
9th (2)  (125/1 -150%)Chameron |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chameron 125/1, Scored once from 5 starts for Patrick Griffin last term and pulled up all 3 starts for new connections. Won for an Irish stable last spring but has looked badly out of sorts this winter. |
|||
10th (8)  (18/1 -29%)Low Mileage |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Low Mileage 18/1, Fairly modest maiden over hurdles/fences in Ireland and he's opposable on this debut for yard. 0-14 under all codes in Ireland; ran okay on latest outing but best watched on yard debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It is difficult to look past ARTIC ROW, who has an excellent record here. The seven-year-old should be able to manage a 7lb rise and is taken to uphold form with the reopposing Monochromix (second) from their meeting over C&D last month. Consistent maiden Leading Force and Coniston Clouds, who was a comfortable winner at Catterick before coming down when sent off favourite at Sedgefield, also enter the equation.
The winning margin was less than a length when ARTIC ROW got the better of Monochromix over C&D last month but, with all due respect to the latter, Nick Alexander's charge was value for extra and he is taken to strike again. Monochromix should be in the mix once more but a bigger threat may be posed by Coniston Clouds, who looked good on his chase debut. Leading Force is also of interest, while High Moon is dangerous to discount off a reduced mark.
Having fended off a persistent threat from Monochromix here last month, ARTIC ROW (nap) could still be well treated.

7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whosmydaddy 7/4, No significant impact in maiden/novice hurdles but proved a different proposition sent chasing for his handicap debut in first-time headgear, scoring in impressive fashion at Musselburgh (23.6f, soft) 19 days ago. Seems sure to progress and win more races in this sphere. Impressive when making all on chase debut at Musselburgh; 8lb higher but much respected. |
|||
2nd (4)  (6/1 +14%)Euchan Falls |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Euchan Falls 6/1, Dual winner at 20f over hurdles who made a solid start over fences but having been well supported, hasn't been on his game the last twice. Still early days for him in this sphere and heads up to 3m for the first time. Has taken a backwards step over fences the last twice; needs new trip to have an effect. |

3rd (5)  (12/1 -9%)Azof Des Mottes |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Azof Des Mottes 12/1, Looked value for extra when winning 14-runner handicap chase at Kelso in April. Broke blood vessel on reappearance there in January but took a step back in the right direction when third at this venue (20.5f, heavy) since. More needed for win purposes. however. Back off his winning mark but still has stamina to prove and may prefer better ground. |
|||
4th (7)  (9/2 +25%)Baron Briggs |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Baron Briggs 9/2, Better efforts since undergoing a wind op, finishing third in handicaps at Kelso (17f), Musselburgh (20.3f) and over C&D on his last 3 starts. This lightly-raced 7-y-o remains unexposed over fences (and as a stayer) and needs considering in first-time headgear. Third in all three starts over fences but hasn't looked a natural jumper; cheekpieces on. |
|||
5th (2)  (6/1 +0%)Wavelength |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wavelength 6/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Got off the mark for his new yard in handicap chase at Hexham 22 months ago and gradually been finding his feet this season, looking on the verge of a full-scale revival when third at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) last month. Has improved with each start since returning from a long absence; possibilities. |
|||
6th (8)  (5/1 +50%)Cowboy Cooper |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cowboy Cooper 5/1, Remains winless following 11 attempts overall but he made a positive start in this sphere when third in an 11-runner handicap at Catterick (25.2f, soft) in January. Easy to put a line through his latest effort over C&D (in need of a stiffer test) so he shouldn't be underestimated. 0-11 and finished behind a couple of these over C&D last month; bit more is needed. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (25/1 -150%)High Roller |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) High Roller 25/1, Fared better than previously over hurdles when third of 7 in novice company at Kelso (2m) last March. Had further wind operation ahead of return/handicap debut but dropped away tamely at this track just before Christmas. Upped markedly in trip for his chase debut and probably best watched. 0-5 over hurdles; enough to prove upped in trip for his chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
An easy winner on his chasing/handicap debut at Musselburgh last month on the step up in trip, WHOSMYDADDY should have plenty more improvement forthcoming and an 8lb rise could prove lenient as he attempts to follow up. That may be at the main expense of Heritier De Sivola, who had Baron Briggs over two lengths behind him in third when runner-up over C&D last time out.
Having shown precious little previously, WHOSMYDADDY bolted up on his chasing debut at Musselburgh last month and sure to progress in this sphere, Sandy Thomson's 6-y-o is strongly fancied to defy an 8 lb rise and remain unbeaten over the larger obstacles. The main threat may emerge from Heritier de Sivola, who stopped the slide over a staying trip for the first time over fences here 3 weeks ago, while Baron Briggs and Wavelength aren't out of things, either.
This can go to WHOSMYDADDY who did it well when making a successful chase debut from the front at Musselburgh 19 days ago.

1st (1)  (2/7 +64%)El Elefante |
2/7(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) El Elefante 2/7, Made all in both bumper outings and was impressive when making a winning hurdles debut at Perth (20.2f) in September. Ran to a similar level on her next 2 starts, before finding it tough in Grade 2 last time. Leading contender back down in grade. Has held her own in some good races since easy win on hurdling debut in September. |
|||
2nd (2)  (10/3 +17%)Kay Tara Tara |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kay Tara Tara 10/3, Bumper winner on debut and made a successful start in this sphere at Huntingdon (19.6f) in October. Showed better form in defeat when third at Fontwell in December, before no match for an improver in handicap at Doncaster on her latest outing. Remains with potential. Twice in the frame since small-field maiden win in October; strong place claims, at least. |
|||
3rd (6)  (80/1 -471%)Love That |
80/1(-471%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Love That 80/1, €12,000 3-y-o, Vendangeur mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Princess Tara. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful staying chasers Openide and Ballybough Gorta. Point winner at the fourth attempt, but she has a fairly useful standard to aim at on Rules debut. Finished well to win a point last month but faces fairly tough task on stable/hurdle debut. |
|||
4th (5)  (200/1 -100%)Hey Mama Rock Me |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hey Mama Rock Me 200/1, Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Notachance, but tailed off in a bumper and fared little better at Carlisle (17f) on her hurdling debut 18 days ago. Remains best watched upped in trip. Struggled in a bumper and on recent hurdling debut. |
|||
5th (7)  (12/1 +64%)March Wind |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) March Wind 12/1, Runner-up both outings in bumpers last year but well below that level in 2 starts over hurdles this season, though run best excused when down the field at Sedgefield (19.8f) last time (lost place after bad mistake fifth). Improvement required. Second in two bumpers last year; yet to show anything more than minor promise over hurdles. |
|||
6th (4)  (200/1 -300%)Cloneyhurke Maid |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cloneyhurke Maid 200/1, Tobougg mare. Half-brother to smart bumper winner/useful 2½m hurdle winner Battleford, stayed 3m, and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Stacks Mountain. Made the frame both completed starts in Irish points, but the last of those outings came back in September 2020. Second in an Irish point in 2020 but makes rules debut after a mammoth absence. |
|||
|F| (8)  (28/1 -12%)Somebody's Fortune |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Somebody's Fortune 28/1, Placed in points and, after 9 months off, showed a bit when mid-field at Kelso (22.7f) on her hurdling bow in January. Wasn't able to build on that effort when fifth in race won by Micks Jet at Musselburgh 19 days ago, so she needs to find more with tongue strap applied. Placed in two Irish points last spring but has made a quiet start to her rules career. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This represents a significant drop in grade for EL ELEFANTE and a return to softer ground should also play to her strengths as she looks to return to winning ways for her in-form connections. Micks Jet is likely to pose a serious challenge following an easy success at Musselburgh last month, while Kay Tara Tara is not to be ruled out either on the rise in distance.
EL ELEFANTE faced a tough task in the Rossington Main at Doncaster last time, when she was also unsuited by the emphasis on speed, so she is taken to resume winning ways returned to this longer trip back down in grade. Micks Jet opened her hurdles account easily 19 days ago and is feared most with further improvement to come, ahead of Kay Tara Tara.
Lucinda Russell's EL ELEFANTE has held her own against smart opposition since her winning hurdle debut and gets the nod.

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.
