1st (5)  (12/1 +25%)Saracen Beau |
12/1(+25%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Saracen Beau 12/1, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to unreliable but fairly useful hurdler/chaser Dreamsoftheatre. Shaped very much like a stayer when third of 8 in a C&D bumper on debut in April and likely to benefit from longer trips in due course. Promising third in Ayr bumper; nice hurdling prospect, although bred to be suited by 2m4f+. |
|||
2nd (10)  (11/4 -83%)Northern Air |
11/4(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Northern Air 11/4, Disappointed in a bumper having been an easy winner of a point but very much caught the eye under tender handling switched to hurdling when second of 10 in a Wincanton maiden (15.2f) in April. Has had a breathing op since and sure to do much better. Point winner; incurred ban for schooling in public on hurdling debut; promising mare. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/2 +36%)Rock On Jet |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rock On Jet 7/2, Stepped up appreciably on his yard debut 5 months earlier when second in 7-runner novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, good) 29 days ago, despite producing an error-strewn round. That form has been let down by the winner since, but holds each-way claims nonetheless. Pulled well clear with winner at Hexham and should continue to progress. |
|||
4th (9)  (14/1 -100%)My Kiwi Girl |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) My Kiwi Girl 14/1, £80,000 5-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Kellie's Dream. Dam 1½m winner on Flat in Germany, half-sister to very smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Catch Me. Cosily won sole start in Irish points (Mar 2024). Interesting Rules newcomer. Bred to be useful and easily won her only Irish point; interesting recruit. |
|||
5th (1)  (15/8 +53%)Step Out |
15/8(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Step Out 15/8, Runner-up 3 times over hurdles before getting it right in a Downpatrick maiden in August (21.8f). No match for one under a penalty at Kelso 8 weeks later but possibly needed run and was also said to be showing signs of heat stress. Off the mark at Downpatrick and ran respectably under a penalty at Kelso; in the mix again. |
|||
6th (11)  (17/2 -42%)Reflection Of You |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Reflection Of You 17/2, Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 2023) and followed up in 6-runner bumper at Musselburgh first time out under Rules in April, making all with plenty in hand. Ran badly taking on the geldings in a C&D event later in the month but still of interest now switched to hurdles. Well held in useful bumper here but previously unbeaten; remains a mare of some potential. |
|||
7th (3)  (40/1 -100%)Miami Steve |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Miami Steve 40/1, In good hands but has shown just poor form in a brace of bumpers. Signs of ability in bumpers; should make a hurdler but others make more appeal. |
|||
8th (2)  (66/1 -32%)Jirko |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jirko 66/1, Comfortably held both outings in bumpers so a big step forward required on this switch to hurdling. Beaten over 20l in bumpers; bred for jumping but probably more of a long-term prospect. |
|||
9th (12)  (50/1 +50%)She Won't Mind |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) She Won't Mind 50/1, Raced freely when tailed off sole outing in bumpers and has made little impact in 2 novice hurdles 11 months apart. Point winner; well held under rules; likely to do better in handicaps over longer trips. |
|||
10th (8)  (125/1 -150%)Catcha Flight |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Catcha Flight 125/1, 100/1, hinted at ability when sixth of 11 in bumper at Kelso (16.2f, soft) on debut in May, unable to sustain effort. Makes hurdle bow. A little promise when sixth in Kelso bumper at 100-1; others appeal more today. |
|||
11th (6)  (66/1 -32%)Tan Law |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tan Law 66/1, Malinas gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to Gusty Rocky (stayed 3m) and Goodbye Someday (stays 21f, both useful hurdlers) out of very smart 2m-2½m hurdle winner Liss A Paoraigh. Pulled up sole start in points (Mar 2024) and probably best watched on Rules debut. Pulled up in point in March; probably best watched on hurdling debut. |
|||
12th (7)  (150/1 -50%)Bean Alainn |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bean Alainn 150/1, Finished only fifth in an Irish point and showed nothing on her recent Rules debut at Hexham. No major promise in point and tailed off in novice hurdle at Hexham; hard to recommend. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NORTHERN AIR stepped up on her racecourse debut in a bumper to finish runner-up on her hurdling bow at Wincanton in April, when held up off the pace for the majority of the contest, and she is likely to progress again on the back of subsequent wind surgery. Fergal O'Brien's mare gets the vote ahead of the consistent Step Out, who has not been outside the first two in his last three starts. A promising third on his Rules debut here in March, Saracen Beau is of interest on his first attempt over obstacles, as is point-to-point winner My Kiwi Girl.
NORTHERN AIR was a big eye catcher when runner-up to a subsequent winner on her Wincanton hurdling debut back in the spring and, open to plenty of improvement, is a straightforward choice to go one better on this return to action. Step Out and Reflection of You are fancied to fill the places.
Top of the list is NORTHERN AIR who caught the eye on her hurdling debut at Wincanton and is open to any amount of improvement.

1st (8)  (5/2 +55%)Pats Dream |
5/2(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pats Dream 5/2, Made the frame both starts in Irish points and, while he has only achieved a modest level under Rules (including in chases), he has joined a shrewd outfit from Rose Dobbin, so he's worth close market inspection. 0-7 under rules and has struggled in last two chase runs; plenty to prove for new yard. |
|||
2nd (3)  (12/1 -9%)King Arise |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) King Arise 12/1, Won sole point and showed fair form over hurdles. Has run only once (poorly) since January 2022 but handicapper has given him a chance ahead of this chasing debut. Makes chase debut another layoff but he's on workable mark and needs watching in market. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/1 0%)Wal Buck's |
5/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wal Buck's 5/1, Encouraging signs over hurdles and wasn't seen to best effect at all sent chasing when last seen at Perth (2½m, good to soft) in May. Likely to leave that form well behind in time. No joy when favourite on chase debut in May but this stiffer test could help; in the mix. |
|||
4th (6)  (22/1 -83%)Scalloway Bay |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scalloway Bay 22/1, Modest maiden hurdler who was holding his form when last seen 6 months ago. Clumsy jumper over the smaller obstacles, however, so hard to know how he'll take to this discipline. 8yo with a record of 0-8 and he needs to find more at this new discipline. |
|||
5th (7)  (14/1 +0%)Azof Des Mottes |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Azof Des Mottes 14/1, Modest chaser who ended last season in form without looking ahead of his mark. Will probably need this return. His win came off 2lb higher over fences at Kelso and he has possibilities on his return. |
|||
6th (13)  (50/1 -52%)Ideal De Romay |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Ideal De Romay 50/1, Irish point winner but more miss than under Rules so far and will struggle from out of the weights on first outing since leaving Charlie Longsdon. 0-11 under rules and tailed off last twice; 9lb out of the weights on this stable debut. |
|||
7th (9)  (10/1 +38%)Toombridge |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Toombridge 10/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and posted his best run under Rules to date when third of 6 in handicap chase at Carlisle (21f, soft) on debut over fences in March. Yet to build on that and might need this return. Still unexposed over fences and mark continues to fall but others are more convincing. |
|||
8th (5)  (16/1 -33%)Euchan Falls |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Euchan Falls 16/1, On a losing run and wasn't at his best when last seen four months ago. On a fair mark back over fences but others are more appealing. Runner-up in three of his seven runs over fences; hard to rule out back in trip on return. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (8/1 +60%)Sputnik |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sputnik 8/1, Course winner who was well below form on his final outing for Jackie Stephen and didn't fire at Hexham on debut for this yard. Something to prove. His last win was in October 2022 and he needs a major turnaround; 3lb out the weights. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (13/2 -18%)Grand Voyage |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Grand Voyage 13/2, Long time without success but back to form when runner-up at Kelso (21.6f, good to soft) in May. Returned with a solid performance at Hexham and should be spot on now. 1-16 over fences but he's well treated on his best form and could be dangerous. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (28/1 -331%)Ironhill |
28/1(-331%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ironhill 28/1, Bumper winner who was just poor under Rules and, while successful on his final outing for Michael Scudamore at Worcester, that was more than a year ago. Won when last seen in August 2023 and he needs a close look for new yard. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (33/1 +0%)Ardera Cross |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ardera Cross 33/1, Veteran who has 9 course wins to his name but ended last season out of sorts and didn't show much here on return 5 days ago. Hard to fancy. 13yo with 14 chase wins on his CV but he's hard to predict these days; risks attached. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A taking winner over 2m4f at Worcester when last seen in August, IRONHILL has since switched yards, and a 4lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to notch up a third career success. It was only late in the piece that Wal Buck's got the hang of things on chase debut at Perth in May, and stepping up in trip on this occasion looks like a good move. Experienced at this level, Euchan Falls and Grand Voyage are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
PATS DREAM has the potential for better under Rules and may be able to fulfil it now he's moved to a shrewd stable, so he's preferred to Wal Buck's who is expected to leave the form of his chasing debut at Perth well behind. Grand Voyage should be on the premises.
Plenty have possibilities but it might be worth giving another chance to Lucinda Russell's unexposed 5yo WAL BUCK'S.

1st (3)  (9/4 +36%)Ottizzini |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ottizzini 9/4, Won maiden/novice events at up to 3m last season. Not at best in a Kilbeggan handicap when last seen in May but the yard's good Ayr record affords her respect on return. Beaten favourite at Kilbeggan but previously in good form; may well be the answer. |
|||
2nd (5)  (10/3 -21%)Faithfulflyer |
10/3(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Faithfulflyer 10/3, Improved with back-to-back wins at Kelso and Uttoxeter at the start of the summer and better than ever when second back at Kelso (21f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Big player. Two wins in spring/summer and ran well when runner-up last time; solid candidate. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/4 +42%)Shoeshine Boy |
7/4(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Shoeshine Boy 7/4, Made it 3 wins in his last 5 starts when shading a tight finish on his 23f Hexham reappearance 3 weeks ago. Endured a hard race, though, so might be worth opposing this time. Found plenty when scoring under Murray Dodd at Hexham; in the mix despite career-high mark. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/1 +17%)Wakool |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wakool 10/1, Useful hurdler who scaled new heights when winning the Grade 2 Rendlesham at Haydock in February 2023. Largely struggled last season but his mark has come down as a result. Has had wind surgery. 2022 winner; last season was a damp squib but he has fallen in the weights and had wind op. |
|||
5th (1)  (16/1 -191%)Glinger Flame |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Glinger Flame 16/1, At the veteran stage but he was as good as ever last autumn, including a win in this race. Well beaten back from 8 months off at Uttoxeter in July but no surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang. Veteran; three wins last season, including in this race; needs to put poor run behind him. |
|||
6th (4)  (16/1 -100%)Haute Estime |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Haute Estime 16/1, Campaigned over fences in recent times, pulling up at Perth when last seen in April. Switches to hurdles back from a break. Check the betting. 0-6 over fences last season but returning to hurdling could give her a boost. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Now that SHOESHINE BOY has regained the winning thread with a determined performance at Hexham last month, the eight-year-old may be able to follow up off just 3lb higher at a track where he has an excellent record. Faithfulflyer bounced back to form with an encouraging second over 2m5f at Kelso last time out and he must enter calculations, along with the returning Ottizzini, who was placed in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle last season.
FAITHFULFLYER arrives on the back of a career-best second at Kelso last month and gets the vote. Stuart Crawford enjoys plenty of course success so his mare Ottizini may give him most to do ahead of last year's winner Glinger Flame.
The most appealing option is OTTIZZINI (nap) who had solid form in the first half of the year and may still have untapped potential.

1st (2)  (9/2 -125%)White Rhino |
9/2(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) White Rhino 9/2, Good strike rate over hurdles and appeals as a chasing type. Could be a serious player on chase bow/return. Progressive hurdler; bred to be as good over fences; may keep improving in new discipline. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/2 +10%)Donny Boy |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Donny Boy 9/2, Posted series of creditable efforts in defeat last term, ending campaign with good third of 13 over C&D in April. Player if ready to go. 0-7 as chaser but knocking at the door, third here in April; should not be long in winning. |
|||
3rd (4)  (13/8 +54%)Whistle Stop Tour |
13/8(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Whistle Stop Tour 13/8, Winning Irish pointer who showed fairly useful form over hurdles last season, winning twice. Type to do well over fences. Promising first term over hurdles; type to do even better over fences; major player. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/2 +22%)Hello Judge |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hello Judge 7/2, Successful 3 times over the larger obstacles last season and made a positive return when fourth at Hexham 3 weeks ago. Front runner who may get the run of things here. Front-runner; best effort when making all at Newcastle; shaped well on return; very solid. |
|||
|U| (1)  (7/1 -56%)Special Rate |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Special Rate 7/1, Enjoyed a most productive campaign over hurdles/fences last term, winning 7 from 10 starts for Philip Kirby. Still looks on a decent mark despite his high strike rate so needs considering on return/yard debut. Seven wins for Phil Kirby; may do better still; interesting contender for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
DONNY BOY was far from disgraced when filling third place in a competitive handicap over 3m at this venue on his latest outing in April. The strength of that form suggests that the eight-year-old could play a leading role here, despite a 2lb rise. White Rhino showed plenty of promise over hurdles last season and should not be underestimated on his chasing bow, while similar comments apply to Whistle Stop Tour.
All 5 need considering in a small but select field. HELLO JUDGE may be seen to best advantage from a tactical point of view so shades the vote over interesting chasing debutants White Rhino and Whistle Stop Tour.
All five have chances but preference is for HELLO JUDGE who has proven fitness on his side and receives plenty of weight all round.

1st (2)  (13/2 -8%)Mack The Man |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mack The Man 13/2, Reacted well to a visor with wins at Musselburgh and Perth in the spring. Off since finishing a respectable fourth at Kelso in May. Possibly vulnerable up against some improvers on reappearance., In good form in the spring, not far away in a higher grade at Kelso in May; form claims. |
|||
2nd (6)  (3/1 +65%)Dance Thief |
3/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dance Thief 3/1, Deservedly got his head in front over C&D in March. Creditable 6 lengths second to the reopposing Mack The Man at Perth (2m, good to soft) when last seen in May. Should be competitive if ready to roll after 6 months off. C&D winner; weights pull with Mack The Man on later Perth form; faces competitive return. |
|||
3rd (4)  (10/3 +39%)Ridin Solo |
10/3(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ridin Solo 10/3, Point winner who showed a fair level of ability when placed in 3 of his 4 starts in maiden/novice hurdles and his opening handicap mark looks workable. Irish point winner; fair level of form over hurdles without progressing; handicap debut. |
|||
4th (3)  (14/1 -367%)Green Sky |
14/1(-367%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Green Sky 14/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who has displayed promise over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien last season, close up when falling 2 out in Bellewstown handicap in April. Interesting on return for new trainer Stuart Crawford, who won this race last year. Flat winner; travelling well when fell heavily 2 out on handicap debut in April; new yard. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/8 +66%)Coastal Rock |
11/8(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coastal Rock 11/8, Related to four winners and offered plenty to work on in 3 qualifying runs for Harry Fry/Lucinda Russell. It'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him now handicapping for in-form Olly Murphy after 7 months off. On his third trainer; looked promising when 4th at Musselburgh in April; handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ROCHEVAL arrives here unbeaten following a hat-trick of victories last season, the most recent of which came over 2m1f at Carlisle in March. An opening mark of 120 could underestimate the four-year-old, especially as he may have more improvement left to come. Ridin Solo also makes the shortlist on his handicap bow following an encouraging third at Stratford last month. Mack The Man edges out Dance Thief to be best of the rest.
GREEN SKY is taken to provide new trainer Stuart Crawford with a second successive win in this contest. Fellow lightly-raced types Ridin Solo, Coastal Rock and Rocheval make this an interesting handicap.
Unbeaten ROCHEVAL may be able to give the weight to Coastal Rock now both make their handicap debuts, the latter for a new yard.

1st (5)  (3/1 +57%)Doyen Du Bar |
3/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Doyen Du Bar 3/1, Very lightly raced for age but made up for lost time over the winter, winning maiden/novice hurdles. Unexposed over fences and was a bit better than the result when last seen 5 months ago. Not completely dismissed. 2-4 over hurdles; may not have reached his limit over fences; leading contender. |
|||
2nd (3)  (15/8 +66%)The Kalooki Kid |
15/8(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Kalooki Kid 15/8, Looked potentially useful when winning novice hurdles at Musselburgh and Newcastle before Christmas and was back on track to some degree when fifth here 6 months ago, Type to take to chasing. Improvement petered out over hurdles but he may still have untapped potential now chasing. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/2 +55%)Whizz Kid |
9/2(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Whizz Kid 9/2, Fairly useful hurdler who returned (having had a breathing operation) with a respectable effort in a handicap at Wetherby. Likely to need this first experience of chasing. 8-30 Flat and hurdles, now goes chasing; has a chance if taking well to the new discipline. |
|||
4th (1)  (25/1 -79%)Gua Du Large |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gua Du Large 25/1, Latest win in chase at Tramore in April. 7/2, fourth of 6 in novice chase at Listowel (17.7f, good) 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Henry De Bromhead. Starts out for new yard with a bit to prove. 3-16 for Henry De Bromhead; joined new yard for just £6,000; a contender on his best form. |
|||
|F| (6)  (11/4 +0%)Park Annonciade |
11/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Park Annonciade 11/4, Looked progressive when winning handicap hurdles at Ayr/Haydock (19f) last November. Broke blood vessel when pulled up at Hexham on chasing debut 6 months ago but likely to show up much better. Two hurdles wins late in 2023; broke blood vessel on chasing debut; could bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The Kalooki Kid has to be of interest on his return to action having shown promise as a novice hurdler last season, but marginal preference is for MYRETOWN. Lucinda Russell's gelding had plenty in hand when landing a maiden hurdle at Kelso in March and the winning point-to-pointer may progress now switched to fences. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Whizz Kid is just the pick of them.
MYRETOWN had a promising season over hurdles last season but has always promised to peak over fences (scopey ex-pointer), so he's worth a chance to make a successful start in this sphere. Park Annonciade should put a poor chasing debut behind him and The Kalooki Kid is another one who merits consideration.
Lucinda Russell's MYRETOWN looked anything but exposed over hurdles and is taken to get off the mark over fences at the first attempt.
