---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (0.29/1 +65%) Waspy |
0.29/1(+65%) | (4) Waspy 0.29/1, Winning pointer who shaped promisingly in his only bumper and did the same sent hurdling when runner-up to subsequent EBF Final winner Crambo over C&D in February. First-flight faller at Sedgefield since but will surely go close back here if none the worse for that. Fell last month but earlier C&D second gives serious claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3.33/1 -67%) Faded Fantasy |
3.33/1(-67%) | (5) Faded Fantasy 3.33/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Ger Lyons and took a step forward whe third in a 7-runner Taunton juvenile hurdle (16.5f, heavy) at the end of March. Likely that he'll really come into his own in handicaps in due course but he's a big player here nonetheless. Improved when third at Taunton latest and on the shortlist after that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (25/1 +69%) On Cloud Nine |
25/1(+69%) | (7) On Cloud Nine 25/1, Runner-up on the second of 2 starts in points but little impact in 2 starts under Rules to date and Waspy is clearly the stable first-string. Second in an Irish point but little under rules to date; wind surgery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (25/1 +69%) Poppop |
25/1(+69%) | (3) Poppop 25/1, Well held in Southwell bumpers 2 years apart and recent hurdles debut was hardly inspiring. Well beaten on recent hurdle debut; others more obvious. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (33/1 -83%) Sobegrand |
33/1(-83%) | (6) Sobegrand 33/1, Went the wrong way following promising debut second for the Gosdens on the Flat at Kempton, well held on sole start for Gary Moore when last seen in November. Opposable now sent hurdling for new connections. Didn't progress on the Flat; stable/hurdle debut after six months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (66/1 +18%) Oneway Express |
66/1(+18%) | (8) Oneway Express 66/1, Third sole start between the flags in February but she dropped away pretty tamely starting out under Rules in a Ludlow maiden hurdle 11 days ago. Third in an Irish point; well beaten on recent hurdle/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Faded Fantasy ran his best race to date when third in a juvenile hurdle at Taunton in March and a similar performance should see him involved once more. Preference, however, is for WASPY, who was last seen falling at the first flight at Sedgefield. Donald McCain's gelding will need to put that mishap behind him, but his penultimate second over course and distance in February looks the best form on offer. Churchman completes the shortlist.
FADED FANTASY shaped with conspicuous promise on his third start in this sphere at Taunton and he is a tempting alternative to likely favourite Waspy, who sets the standard on his C&D hurdles debut second in February. If bumper winner Luna de la Mer lines up here rather than at Aintree on Friday he will also be of interest.
Second to a useful rival over C&D in February, WASPY earns the vote.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (6/1 +40%) Captain Tommy |
6/1(+40%) | (2) Captain Tommy 6/1, Disappointed on final start for David Bridgwater last spring and has offered little in 4 starts for present yard, a first-time visor (replaced by cheekpieces here) failing to spark a revival at Fakenham (29f) 11 days ago. Eased further 5 lb subsequently. 1-22 as a chaser and not much in four starts for this yard; mark continues to fall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6.5/1 +59%) Robin Des Fox |
6.5/1(+59%) | (7) Robin Des Fox 6.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who hasn't reached the same level in a couple of tries over fences, pulled up 2 out on the back of a wind op at Wetherby (24.2f) in January. Cheekpieces reached for on the back of 4 months off but would need to see market confidence to make him of interest. Little to show for two chasing efforts; cheekpieces fitted on return from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6.5/1 +7%) Coo Star Sivola |
6.5/1(+7%) | (1) Coo Star Sivola 6.5/1, Veteran who bagged the Ultima Handicap at Cheltenham in 2018 but not looked the force of old since returning from a lengthy absence, again failing to make an impact when fourth at Warwick (3m) 23 days ago. Assessor relinquishes his grip further but others preferred. Nowhere near the force of old and well beaten for this yard; might still have claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (14/1 -115%) Kabrit |
14/1(-115%) | (3) Kabrit 14/1, Dual chase winner at around 3m during 2021 who wasn't disgraced when fourth on final chase start at Uttoxeter (26f) in September. Unseated back from 8 months off at Ludlow (23.8f) 24 days ago but he's operating 3 lb below last winning mark. Early unseat on return from a break; good ground suits so could figure. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (4.5/1 -50%) Oceans Red |
4.5/1(-50%) | (8) Oceans Red 4.5/1, Three-time winner over fences with his latest success at Sedgefield (27f) in October. Probably best not judged too harshly on his non-completion at Taunton (23f) in November and he's no forlorn hope back from 6 months off with usual cheekpieces back on. Pulled up when last seen six months ago but progressive before; good chances if ready. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (2.75/1 +8%) Heart Of A Lion |
2.75/1(+8%) | (5) Heart Of A Lion 2.75/1, Lightly raced on the back of his chase debut success at Ludlow in 2021 but very much caught the eye under considerate handling when third at Fontwell (19.5f) 4 weeks ago, finishing with running left. That form has some substance and interesting from 2 lb lower mark upped to 3m. Didn't run too badly at Fontwell last month and chances if staying this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (7.5/1 -36%) Lady Tremaine |
7.5/1(-36%) | (4) Lady Tremaine 7.5/1, Dual winner over hurdles who, on the back of some solid runs in that sphere, made an encouraging start over fences when second at Ffos Las (19.4f) in March, a slow jump last proving costly. Similar form when third at Southwell (3m) latest and she's entitled to be in the mix again. Her Southwell third was a good effort and gives leading claims; best form on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (9/1 +25%) Your Band |
9/1(+25%) | (6) Your Band 9/1, Lightly raced since twice successful over hurdles at Uttoxeter in 2019 and has offered little all 3 starts in that sphere in recent months. Switch to chasing needs to spark a revival now. Hasn't found best hurdle form since a long absence; chasing debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Oceans Red boasts a course and distance success to his name, but he returns here off a high enough mark and the seven-year-old may prove worth taking on. COO STAR SIVOLA shaped better than the beaten distance at Warwick last month and the veteran could be ready to capitalise on a declining rating. Heart Of A Lion has often appeared as if this stiffer test could suit and he's another to consider now 5lb lower than his last triumph.
HEART OF A LION has been very lightly raced since his chase debut success at Ludlow in 2021 but arrives here having very much caught the eye from a long way back when third at Fontwell (19.5f) 4 weeks ago and, unexposed at this sort of trip, he could be worth chancing to build on that now. The returning Oceans Red and Kabrit head up the dangers, with Lady Tremaine not out of things either.
Despite reservations about her ability to act on good ground, LADY TREMAINE is worth chancing.

1st (6) (2.5/1 +44%) Hidalgo De L'Isle |
2.5/1(+44%) | (6) Hidalgo De L'Isle 2.5/1, Fair in bumpers and cemented positive start over hurdles when running out a comfortable winner on handicap debut over C&D in February. First blip when well held fifth at Musselburgh (15.5f) in March but feasible to think he can get back on track returning from a break. C&D winner in February; below form next time but could well resume progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (1.88/1 +25%) El Borracho |
1.88/1(+25%) | (1) El Borracho 1.88/1, Likeable, versatile campaigner who completed a hurdles/chase hat-trick at Wetherby (15f) in October. Not disgraced next 2 starts and confirmed he still has plenty to offer on the Flat when landing 8-runner Thirsk handicap (14f) on return 2 weeks ago. Claims returned to timber. Thirsk Flat winner two weeks ago and every chance of taking this on return to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/1 +0%) Copper Beach |
7/1(+0%) | (7) Copper Beach 7/1, Maiden who improved (fair form) when second in a Hexham novice in November and backed that up when filling same spot on handicap debut at Doncaster (16.6f) a month later. Well beaten at Market Rasen (18.6f) on Boxing Day and the betting may prove useful on back of 5 months off. Twice second at the end of last year but then well beaten; back from five months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5.5/1 -22%) Monte Igueldo |
5.5/1(-22%) | (2) Monte Igueldo 5.5/1, Fulfilled initial promise on the back of a 5-month break when opening his account over hurdles at Worcester (2m) in September. Improved further to land back-to-back handicap chase contests thereafter and clearly not 100% when pulled up at Southwell in January. Starts out for new yard now. Three wins last autumn but pulled up in January and off since; stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (7.5/1 +38%) Addosh |
7.5/1(+38%) | (4) Addosh 7.5/1, Proved better than ever when recording a third success over hurdles at Southwell last June. Mixed bag on Flat/over hurdles but shaped as if she'd come on for the run back from 10 weeks off at Wincanton (15.2f) in April. Just 2 lb above last winning mark now. Hasn't been in good form and finished last on latest outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (16/1 -14%) Just The Man |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Just The Man 16/1, Back to last winning mark and in process of running well when falling 3 out at Leicester (15.5f) in November. Well held up in grade/faced with much softer ground at Sandown final start in December but he returns to action with his yard in good order. Betting should guide. Absent since early December and much of his best form has come at Ludlow. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
EL BORRACHO confirmed his well-being with a cosy success on the Flat recently and he looks more than capable of following up on his return to hurdles. Hidalgo De L'isle was down the field at Musselburgh in March and this course and distance winner is feared most. Copper Beach could also have a say if putting his latest appearance at Market Rasen on Boxing Day behind him.
HIDALGO DE L'ISLE needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Musselburgh in March but he had impressed when scoring in good style over C&D previously and is well worth another chance to get back on the up given his low-mileage profile. The likeable El Borracho, who arrives on the back of success on the Flat recently, is feared, with Band of Outlaws also worth a second look equipped with a first-time visor.
El Borracho is greatly feared but the unexposed HIDALGO DE L'ISLE (nap) can gain a second C&D win.

1st (4) (5/1 +33%) Heartbreak Kid |
5/1(+33%) | (4) Heartbreak Kid 5/1, Dual chase winner (at around 2m) who has proved more miss than hit in recent months but did at least hint at a revival when fourth over C&D 4 weeks ago, folding late having forced the pace. Potentially very well treated if building on that. Hasn't been in form in recent starts, the latest over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4.5/1 +44%) Gouet Des Bruyeres |
4.5/1(+44%) | (5) Gouet Des Bruyeres 4.5/1, 3-time winner over fences, the latest coming at Southwell (15.8f) in September. Lightly raced since but he ran creditably on back of 6 months off when third at Newcastle (16.3f) 4 days ago. Longer trip should hold no fears but this rates tougher turned out quickly. Ran well four days ago, on return from a break, but may find this company too hot. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 -60%) Norley |
3/1(-60%) | (3) Norley 3/1, Showed improved form when adding to his tally over hurdles at Ludlow (21.2f) 2 starts back and followed up with plenty in hand on just second chase start at Huntingdon (19.8f) 6 weeks ago, typically travelling strongly. Likely there's more to come in this sphere. In fine form and easy winner over fences last month; 9lb higher but seriously considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (1.2/1 -9%) Gabriel's Getaway |
1.2/1(-9%) | (1) Gabriel's Getaway 1.2/1, Hasn't looked back since sent handicap chasing, maintaining his unbeaten record in this sphere when completing the hat-trick emphatically at Exeter (19.2f) in April. Handicapper applies more pressure but he's high on the shortlist again with prospect of more to come. 3-3 over fences; up 9lb for easy Exeter win but may well prove up to it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (25/1 -39%) The Paddy Pie |
25/1(-39%) | (2) The Paddy Pie 25/1, Ended a lengthy losing sequence despite being 6 lb out of the weights at Wetherby (19.4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day. Good second back at that venue next time but well below best at Haydock (20f) in February. Needs to bounce back returning from 3 months off. Won in December but well beaten when last seen three months ago; front-runner. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GABRIEL'S GETAWAY hasn't looked back since making his chase debut in February, with three victories to his name, and another 9lb rise in the ratings for his latest success at Exeter may not prevent him from completing a four-timer. Norley gained his first success over fences last month and is likely to have more to offer in this sphere, despite a 9lb hike. The Paddy Pie makes most appeal of the remaining rivals.
GABRIEL'S GETAWAY has looked a totally different proposition switched to chasing, maintaining his 100% record in this sphere when readily completing the hat-trick at Exeter in April and, with the prospect of more to come, he gets the nod to complete the 4-timer. Norley also arrives at the top of his game, having registered victories over hurdles/fences recently and rates the chief threat.
The progressive GABRIEL'S GETAWAY can maintain his unbeaten record over fences.

1st (1) (3.33/1 +26%) Landen Calling |
3.33/1(+26%) | (1) Landen Calling 3.33/1, Raised his game equipped with blinkers over hurdles, producing a dominant display when doubling his tally at Market Rasen (23f) last July. Seen only twice since, shaping much better than distance beaten suggests on return at Cheltenham last month. Interesting chase debutant. Ran well for a long way over hurdles on return from a break; chasing debut; needs best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3/1 -33%) Supervisor |
3/1(-33%) | (6) Supervisor 3/1, Low-mileage 9-y-o who remains a maiden but going best and looked likely winner prior to departing 4 out at Ludlow (20f) in November. Absent subsequently but he's evidently on a good mark and definite claims if seeing out this 3m trip. May have won at Ludlow six months ago but for falling; first attempt at 3m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (5/1 +55%) Inishbiggle |
5/1(+55%) | (2) Inishbiggle 5/1, Emphatic winner of 19.3f Catterick handicap hurdle in February 2022. First run since and seemed to find a combination of the trip (3m) and absence all too much when pulled up 4 out on chase debut at Wetherby in March and this should reveal more. Two hurdle wins; pulled up on chasing debut after more than a year off; reservations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (5) (1.25/1 +44%) The Wrekin |
1.25/1(+44%) | (5) The Wrekin 1.25/1, Three-time winner of novice hurdles in 2021. Missed whole of last year but stepped up with each outing since returning, displaying plenty of encouragement when second on chase debut at Ludlow (23.8f) 24 days ago. Open to improvement in this sphere. Stayed on well when second on last month's chasing debut; leading contender off same mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Universal Folly remains in good form and he's considered along with Landen Calling, who appeals as the type to find improvement now switched to the larger obstacles, although preference is for THE WREKIN. Henry Daly's charge hit the woodwork on his chasing bow last month and, with the benefit of his rider's 7lb claim, it would be no surprise were he to go one better.
An interesting race despite the small field with the narrow vote in favour of SUPERVISOR. He again shaped well (looked likely winner) when falling 4 out when last seen at Ludlow in November and, in the hope this trip doesn't stretch him, he can prove his mark a lenient one. Universal Folly should appreciate this step back up in trip and is feared, with The Wrekin also worth a second look.
Runner-up on his chasing debut last month, THE WREKIN can go one better.

1st (7) (4.5/1 +55%) Balranald |
4.5/1(+55%) | (7) Balranald 4.5/1, Successful over fences at Sedgefield in winter 2021. Long-standing maiden in this sphere and others make more appeal for all that he performed respectably at Kelso recently. Often runs well but 0-22 over hurdles; should be on the premises again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6.5/1 -95%) Armattiekan |
6.5/1(-95%) | (3) Armattiekan 6.5/1, Lost his way over fences last seen and this is his first appearance for 9 months. Well treated off lower hurdles mark, however, and stable has a good record here. Five chase wins but 0-12 over hurdles; back from nine months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3/1 +75%) Hashehadhisoatsyet |
3/1(+75%) | (8) Hashehadhisoatsyet 3/1, Has made little impact up to press over hurdles, down the field on handicap bow at Southwell last month. Back up in trip with cheekpieces applied, so might up his game. Well beaten all four starts, the latest when last on handicap debut; cheekpieces go on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3.5/1 +42%) King Arise |
3.5/1(+42%) | (2) King Arise 3.5/1, Won sole point and showed fair form over hurdles. Not seen since a poor run in a handicap at Fontwell 15 months ago, but worthy of interest if the market speaks in his favour. Absent since well beaten on handicap debut in January 2022 (favourite); worth a look. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (2.75/1 +50%) Luna Dora |
2.75/1(+50%) | (6) Luna Dora 2.75/1, Made light of a five-month absence and a bad mistake at halfway when readily landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham in April. Disappointed at Stratford just 13 days later but too soon to write her off. Easy Fakenham winner and possible excuses for heavy defeat next time; stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (16/1 +20%) Lockandload |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Lockandload 16/1, Made the frame second of 2 starts in points and also runner-up in a Southwell bumper on her Rules debut. Has failed to make an impact so far over hurdles, thuugh, including on handicap debut at Leicester 174 days ago. Something to prove back up in trip. Tailed off on handicap debut when last seen six months ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Donald McCain has often found success when sending his seasoned chasers back over timber, and that could be the case with ARMATTIEKAN. The nine-year-old was pulled up on his last two starts over fences, but he looks well treated back in this sphere and it would come as no surprise were he to rediscover the winning touch. Luna Dora remains capable of going well and must be on the shortlist, along with Dee Eire.
Given that RHODIA was second twice in bumpers, an opening mark of 96 could underestimate him, so he's worth chancing up in trip after a break. Armattiekan is a danger based on chasing form and Pass The Love On is another likely improver now her attentions are turned to handicaps.
Several of these might be capable of better, among them RHODIA on his handicap debut.

1st (10) (7.5/1 +53%) Tique |
7.5/1(+53%) | (10) Tique 7.5/1, Showed fair form when in the frame in 13f bumpers at Exeter and Huntingdon in the winter but lesser effort at Wincanton 107 days ago. Ran well on first two starts but well held in the latest, three months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (18/1 -29%) Emma Hamilton |
18/1(-29%) | (2) Emma Hamilton 18/1, Showed something on debut at Hereford but looks more one for the longer term. Not beaten far when fourth of six on debut three months ago; others have achieved more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (1.5/1 +25%) Sunday Soldier |
1.5/1(+25%) | (4) Sunday Soldier 1.5/1, Didn't come up to expectations for Gordon Elliott but showed more when runner-up at Southwell 22 days ago. Likely to go well again. Good second at Southwell on British debut and leading candidate on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (2.5/1 +58%) Presently |
2.5/1(+58%) | (8) Presently 2.5/1, Time Test filly. Half-sister to 6f-7f winner House Deposit. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2m/17f winner) Sea Prince. Should have the speed for this sort of test, so she's one to be interested in. Flat-bred newcomer; first runner in bumpers for yard; Brian Hughes booked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (9/1 -80%) Whozatgirl |
9/1(-80%) | (11) Whozatgirl 9/1, Related to numerous winners and placed on both starts for Robyn Brisland. Longer trip no issue and she's likely to be on the premises. Placed in both starts at the end of last year; debut for trainer after 20,000gns purchase. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/1 +31%) Queen Of Hindsight |
11/1(+31%) | (3) Queen Of Hindsight 11/1, €2,000 3-y-o, Doyen mare. Looked in need of greater test when third of 5 in bumper at Hexham 51 days ago. Others are more appealing. Fair third of five on debut but likely to need more if she's to win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (9/1 +36%) Romilee |
9/1(+36%) | (9) Romilee 9/1, Scorpion filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler (stayed 2½m) Blue Heron. Debutante; unraced dam half-sister to a bumper winner; one of two runners for yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (33/1 +50%) Not Now Foxy |
33/1(+50%) | (7) Not Now Foxy 33/1, Notnowcato filly. Dam, failed to complete in points, sister to moody but fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 29f) Lively Baron. Not an obvious sort on paper. No real appeal on paper and trainer 0-9 in bumpers in recent seasons. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (150/1 -127%) Bettwyn |
150/1(-127%) | (1) Bettwyn 150/1, Black Sam Bellamy mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Cultram Abbey, stays 27f. Dam French 2¼m chase winner who stayed 23f. Hard to fancy unless the market speaks in her favour. Limited appeal on pedigree and trainer 0-13 in bumpers in recent seasons. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SUNDAY SOLDIER was no match for an impressive winner at Southwell when second on her latest outing. However, that form appeals as the best on offer and she could open her account if running to a similar level. Queen Of Hindsight shaped encouragingly at Hexham on her racecourse debut and will be a threat should she take a step forward. Others to note include Granny Hawkins, Presently and Emma Hamilton.
PRESENTLY is bred for the Flat and the booking of Brian Hughes looks significant, so she gets the nod ahead of Sunday Soldier, who made a promising start for Fergal O'Brien at Southwell last time. Granny Hawkins is another notable newcomer.
A good second at Southwell on her British debut, SUNDAY SOLDIER can go one better.

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.
