---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7) (4/1 +33%) Camilla's Choice |
4/1(+33%) | (7) Camilla's Choice 4/1, First run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) a month ago. No surprise were she to build on that. Safely held on last month's stable debut but her chase run here in June maker her a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3.2/1 -42%) Fine By Me |
3.2/1(-42%) | (6) Fine By Me 3.2/1, Won this race a year ago and better form when hitting the frame twice after from revised mark. Disappointing at Ludlow but could have more to offer this season and clearly very capable fresh. Tongue tie on. Off since October but was fresh when making winning handicap debut in this race in 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (16/1 -129%) Oneway Express |
16/1(-129%) | (10) Oneway Express 16/1, Third sole start between the flags in February but little in the way of promise in her qualifying runs. Hopes rest on switch to handicaps and marked step up in trip. Well beaten in three maiden hurdles but may fare better on this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (2.75/1 +45%) Zafar |
2.75/1(+45%) | (2) Zafar 2.75/1, Dropped a long way in the weights and took a big step in the right direction when runner-up on the back of a breathing operation at Stratford 3 weeks ago. Stays this far and now looks well weighted given he's back in form. Not the force of old but chased home very progressive rival last month; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (66/1 -65%) Dynali |
66/1(-65%) | (8) Dynali 66/1, Modest maiden who has shaped with little encouragement all 5 outings for current yard. Well handicapped on old form but has struggled for new stable this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Rostello |
8.5/1(-21%) | (4) Rostello 8.5/1, Won twice over fences last season but prone to mistakes over both sets of obstacles and not in top form over timber in May/June. 0-10 over hurdles but a four-time chase winner; ran okay last month; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/1 -25%) Ernesto |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Ernesto 10/1, Capitalised on a drop in grade when resuming winning ways at Hereford (25f) last autumn but has struggled since. Mark in freefall as a result but could only consider if backed in a change of headgear. Lurks on a dangerous mark but has been out of form this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (8.5/1 +47%) Tommydan |
8.5/1(+47%) | (1) Tommydan 8.5/1, In good heart over hurdles in the autumn and picked up where he left off after a 7-month break when landing 11-runner handicap at Southwell in June. Heavy defeats over both sets of obstacles since, though. Visor replaces cheekpieces. Darted clear to win at Southwell in June but two heavy defeats have followed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (28/1 -180%) Cast In Grey |
28/1(-180%) | (9) Cast In Grey 28/1, Added to patchy record when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (24.3f, good). Off over 2 years. First run for yard after leaving Graeme McPherson. 0-8 over hurdles and absent since 38l defeat for Graeme McPherson just over two years ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (20/1 +0%) Balkotic |
20/1(+0%) | (3) Balkotic 20/1, Struck twice last autumn but made a tame comeback at Newcastle 6 weeks ago and unseated at Market Rasen next time. Others preferred. Won two in a row last summer/autumn but yet to hit form again since a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ZAFAR appeared to have benefitted from recent wind surgery when filling the runner-up spot at Stratford last month. That form has worked out well, with the winner going on to record back-to-back victories subsequently, so he must hold every chance of going one better from a 3lb raised mark. Fine By Me, who won a division of this race last year, hasn't been seen for 288 days but the unexposed six-year-old could play a leading role on his return, while Rostello heads the remainder.
FINE BY ME won this race last year and, given the yard he represents, fitness is no concern on return from 9 months off. Zafar returned to form at Stratford 3 weeks ago and is a threat, along with Camilla's Choice.
The suggestion is ZAFAR, who has become very well handicapped and bumped into a fast-improving rival when a clear second last month.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (9) (11/1 +21%) Dakota Beat |
11/1(+21%) | (9) Dakota Beat 11/1, One of better efforts for current yard when sixth of 12 at Market Rasen in June but failed to repeat that effort at Stratford and is just out of the weights again. Best effort for some time when sixth two starts ago but didn't back it up latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.75/1 +21%) Taragrace |
2.75/1(+21%) | (2) Taragrace 2.75/1, Won twice early in 2022 and better than ever under this conditional when second of 13 over 19.6f in April. Off since but stays this far and she's in very good hands. Not seen since close second over shorter trip here in April; in the reckoning if staying. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 +9%) Sinndarella |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Sinndarella 5/1, Hasn't progressed since landing the odds in a 3-runner mares' novice at Ludlow in October 2021 but latest second at Cartmel in June was a solid showing and there's reason to think she'll go well again. Good second latest but only 1-41 in career and risky for win purposes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (28/1 -100%) Punches Cross |
28/1(-100%) | (7) Punches Cross 28/1, Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but form has gone the wrong way for his current trainer, always behind over hurdles last week. Mark tumbling but can only be of interest if the market vibes are positive in re-fitted cheekpieces. Unplaced all British starts, the latest when tailed off over hurdles last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (3.5/1 -17%) Sunshine Girl |
3.5/1(-17%) | (6) Sunshine Girl 3.5/1, Upped further in trip and signed off time for Stuart Crawford in the perfect fashion at Southwell 17 days ago. Has to be of interest for new yard. Southwell winner on first attempt at 3m; up 4lb; debut for yard; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (7/1 +30%) Getthepot |
7/1(+30%) | (5) Getthepot 7/1, Doubled chase tally last year but refused last at Fakenham on final 2022 start. Little promise both starts in June and has left Fergal O'Brien. Had a wind op and reverts to timber. Out of sorts over fences this June; stable debut after wind surgery; enough to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Buto |
4.5/1(-13%) | (8) Buto 4.5/1, Belatedly off the mark at Hexham in May and has remained in form since at that venue. Should give his running again. Hexham win in May and placed twice there since; entitled to be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (16/1 +0%) Black Buble |
16/1(+0%) | (3) Black Buble 16/1, Fair handicap hurdler but lightly raced in recent times and hard to know how much ability he retains. This is a drop in grade, though. Well beaten twice in June after more than a year off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (66/1 -267%) Journey West |
66/1(-267%) | (4) Journey West 66/1, Tongue tie on and a bit more loke it when seventh at Ayr in March. Since left Colin A.McBratney. 1-16 in Ireland and not at best when last seen in March; stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Sinndarella finished a creditable second at Cartmel last time out and she merits respect on the back of that effort, but preference is for SUNSHINE GIRL. Gary Hanmer's new recruit found improvement when stepped up to an extended 3m at Southwell last month, where she was comfortably on top at the finish. Given that she's unexposed over staying trips, a subsequent 4lb rise doesn't look beyond her. Buto is fancied to chase the pair home.
SUNSHINE GIRL is unexposed over this trip, and having got off the mark on final start for Stuart Crawford recently, is taken to double her tally. Buto is pretty reliable at this level, while Taragrace has to be considered on her return to action.
Having won in good style at Southwell, SUNSHINE GIRL (nap) can make a winning stable debut.

1st (7) (1.88/1 +71%) On Cloud Nine |
1.88/1(+71%) | (7) On Cloud Nine 1.88/1, Runner-up completed starts in points and has displayed slightly more encouraging signs over hurdles recently, shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when sixth of 12 on handicap debut at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 25 days ago, weakening only late on. Up in trip. Form is fairly moderate but entitles her to play a part; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (14/1 +44%) Maggie O |
14/1(+44%) | (5) Maggie O 14/1, Irish point winner at third attempt but well held both starts under Rules (bumper/novice hurdle). Irish point winner; no great promise in a bumper on on hurdle debut; up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Gamesters Girl |
5.5/1(+15%) | (3) Gamesters Girl 5.5/1, Hinted at ability in bumpers and made an encouraging debut in this sphere in a first-time hood after 5 months off when third at Bangor (19.6f) in September. However, has failed to repeat that form since and carried his head high at Musselburgh on most recent outing in March. Hood back on. Ran well over C&D last September but nowhere near as good since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 +33%) Hedera Park |
12/1(+33%) | (4) Hedera Park 12/1, Fair in bumpers but looks more one for handicaps on early evidence over hurdles. Up in trip. Has to improve on two recent efforts but definitely not out of this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Mays Hill |
4.5/1(-13%) | (6) Mays Hill 4.5/1, Bumper winner who showed a bit more than on hurdling debut when third in 6-runner novice at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip and may do better again. Bumper winner; tailed off on hurdle debut but better latest; needs more but possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (7.5/1 +17%) Sunday Soldier |
7.5/1(+17%) | (10) Sunday Soldier 7.5/1, Verging on fair in bumpers but ran a long way below that level sent hurdling on first outing out for new yard at Southwell 10 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind to play a leading role. Placed in bumpers but beaten 30l on recent stable/hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 -106%) Out On A Jink |
33/1(-106%) | (8) Out On A Jink 33/1, Westerner mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Wicked West. Dam (h112), 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3m) Enjoy Responsibly. Market for clues. No promise in two Irish points; hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 +52%) Fog On The Tyne |
16/1(+52%) | (2) Fog On The Tyne 16/1, Smallish mare who made little impact in 2 bumpers for Sandy Forster in early 2022. Can only be watched on hurdle/stable debut unless the betting suggests otherwise. Well held in two bumpers; worth market look on stable/hurdle debut after an absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (7/1 -56%) Sholokhov Cocktail |
7/1(-56%) | (9) Sholokhov Cocktail 7/1, Showed more than on her sole outing in bumpers when second of 7 in selling hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) on debut in this sphere 32 days ago. Player up in trip. Just two starts; second in a seller on hurdle debut but that still makes her of interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MAYS HILL has yet to add to her Fontwell bumper success, but the daughter of Kayf Tara looks sure to appreciate a step up in trip having kept on for third at Uttoxeter last month. Fergal O'Brien's charge is taken to repel the likely challenge of Flora Paget, who sets the standard on official ratings and is eased back into maiden company. Hedera Park and On Cloud Nine are others who merit consideration.
FLORA PAGET seems to be finding her feet now over hurdles and looks well up to landing a race of this nature, so she receives the vote. The step up in trip should suit both Mays Hill and Sholokhov Cocktail and they head the dangers.
It was only a seller in which SHOLOKHOV COCKTAIL finished second but the form looks solid enough.

1st (4) (5.5/1 +31%) Bucko's Boy |
5.5/1(+31%) | (4) Bucko's Boy 5.5/1, Bolted up at Newton Abbot last summer and back to form reverting to positive tactics with regular cheekpieces reapplied when third at Worcester 11 weeks ago. Respected back up in distance after wind op. Good third at Worcester in May and wind surgery since; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (6/1 +40%) Presenting Pete |
6/1(+40%) | (10) Presenting Pete 6/1, In good form in handicap hurdles for this stable last summer and looks to have returned in fine fettle again. Could find another opening before long. Consistent but only 1-17 in career and has proved expensive to follow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (16/1 -14%) Well Educated |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Well Educated 16/1, Five-time winner over hurdles last year but well beaten over fences/timber at Hexham the last twice. Cheekpieces go back on returning from a break now. Rather out of sorts since five wins last year; cheekpieces return (1-1 in them). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (6.5/1 -18%) Lighthouse Mill |
6.5/1(-18%) | (11) Lighthouse Mill 6.5/1, Has been thriving all spring/summer, winning at Stratford and still showing yet more improvement to go close at Market Rasen 13 days ago. Up another 3 lb and one to note. Consistent and improving but only one win and takes a rise in class; often leads. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6/1 +20%) Inca Prince |
6/1(+20%) | (2) Inca Prince 6/1, Free-going front runner who won a pair of Musselburgh juveniles at the start of 2022. It's largely been a struggle since, but he was better than the result at Aintree over this trip 11 weeks ago and a return to positive tactics would see him in a better light. Interesting. Appeared to stay this trip when close fifth in May; wind surgery since; not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (16/1 -167%) Oslo |
16/1(-167%) | (8) Oslo 16/1, Headgear fitted and back to winning ways over hurdles in 2m Worcester novice handicap when last seen in June 2022, his jumping not perfect and benefiting from the emphasis on speed. Stamina to prove on first run for 13 months. One to note in the betting. Narrow winner in June 2022; absent since; first attempt at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (20/1 -43%) Finest View |
20/1(-43%) | (1) Finest View 20/1, Won 4 on the bounce for Alan King in spring 2022. Would have run respectably if completing (fell usual 2 out) at Warwick in May but well beaten 2 months on at Stratford. Others preferred. Yet to win for this yard and well beaten latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (16/1 +0%) Minella Plus |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Minella Plus 16/1, Took well to chasing, landing handicaps at Hexham and Ludlow (both at around 2m) in the autumn, but was below form back in this sphere when last seen. Tailed off when last seen in March and looks stable second string. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (11/1 +21%) Onward Route |
11/1(+21%) | (3) Onward Route 11/1, Dual winner last summer and ran best race in handicaps when second in 2m Hexham contest in May. Not so good back up in trip next time and cheekpieces now added back from a break. Has run well enough in latest two starts to have chances, especially if cheekpieces help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (28/1 -56%) Let Me Be |
28/1(-56%) | (9) Let Me Be 28/1, Prolific winner on the Flat in 2021 and off the mark over hurdles for new yard in a Market Rasen maiden over this trip in May 2022. Poor this term but has dropped in the weights. Change of headgear. Good effort three starts ago but not built on it; blinkers now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (3/1 +0%) Clody Flyer |
3/1(+0%) | (7) Clody Flyer 3/1, Point winner who has made a good start over hurdles for new connections, winning 2m maiden/novice events at Uttoxeter and Kelso in May. Found only a well-treated one too good on handicap debut last time and remains with potential now up in trip. Beaten favourite on handicap debut but may well do better now stepped up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Clody Flyer was second at Southwell last time and he has been left on the same mark, but he does take a step into the unknown over this trip, so INCA PRINCE just shades the vote. The son of Fast Company takes a drop in class after finishing fifth at Aintree in May and he ought to go very close off the same rating. Oslo warrants a market check as he returns from a long absence.
INCA PRINCE wasn't beaten far at Aintree 11 weeks ago and looks interesting back down in class. Clody Flyer is interesting up in trip after a good start in handicaps at Southwell. Bucko's Boy and Lighthouse Mill are also considered.
Plenty to consider but BUCKO'S BOY has every chance on his good third when last seen in May.

1st (1) (4.5/1 +18%) Brief Times |
4.5/1(+18%) | (1) Brief Times 4.5/1, Often let down by his jumping but longer trip seemed to help in that regard when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 17 days ago, outbattling the runner-up. May do better again over this trip. Back to form with Southwell win on first attempt at 3m; this is tougher but he's unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5/1 +58%) Saint Arvans |
5/1(+58%) | (3) Saint Arvans 5/1, Took his record over fences to 5 wins from 10 completed starts in 5-runner handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good). Not disgraced in Summer Plater at Market Rasen since and this much less competitive. Not that consistent but in good form at present; wins have come in small fields. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 +11%) Topofthecotswolds |
8/1(+11%) | (5) Topofthecotswolds 8/1, Dual handicap chase winner last season. Back to form last 2 starts, second of 5 in handicap chase (3/1) at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Respected. Latest two runs point to him having a fair chance if the ground remains good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (5/1 -82%) Honey I'm Good |
5/1(-82%) | (11) Honey I'm Good 5/1, Multiple point winner who made a successful hunter chase debut at Chepstow (23.6f, good) in April and, after a lesser run over hurdles, went in again in handicaps at Newton Abbot next 2 starts. Plenty in hand and should take the beating under a penalty. Two recent Newton Abbot wins and progressing strongly; up in class but leading hopes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (4/1 +47%) Grey Skies |
4/1(+47%) | (6) Grey Skies 4/1, Maiden/novice hurdle winner last season. Might have been fortunate at Sedgefield but there was nothing lucky about his follow-up win at Perth in April. Close second at Cartmel before better than bare result there since. Up in trip (bred to stay well). Not entirely his fault when only sixth latest and may improve for step up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (16/1 +20%) Irish Prophecy |
16/1(+20%) | (2) Irish Prophecy 16/1, Went close in a Warwick handicap chase in September and still appeared to be going well prior to capitulating after the third-last back from 7 months off at Cartmel (29.4f, good). Another tame finish back over hurdles since. On a good mark now but current wellbeing a doubt after two below par runs this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (6/1 +40%) Lights Are Green |
6/1(+40%) | (12) Lights Are Green 6/1, Has taken very well to fences, winning at Hexham and Cartmel before good placed efforts last 2 starts. Up against it from 5 lb out of the weights, however. Two wins in May and fair efforts since; 5lb out of the weights but more to offer.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (22/1 -120%) Steel Wave |
22/1(-120%) | (9) Steel Wave 22/1, Veteran who struck again at Stratford last month under this rider. Ran well under a penalty at Southwell 2 days later but this tougher. In fine form and rather unfortunate latest; up 6lb in deeper contest, however. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (14/1 -17%) Daranova |
14/1(-17%) | (10) Daranova 14/1, Two 3m wins in May 2022 but struggling for form at present. Dipped below last winning mark at least. Change of headgear. Hasn't shown much this year but both wins have come over C&D; visor on; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (20/1 -25%) Hawk's Well |
20/1(-25%) | (7) Hawk's Well 20/1, Winner of 2 of his first 3 starts over fences but well held after 19 months at Uttoxeter in May. Pulled up in May after long absence; more to prove than some. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (33/1 -136%) Empire De Maulde |
33/1(-136%) | (4) Empire De Maulde 33/1, Decent strike rate but didn't show enough after 12 months off at Aintree in May to warrant serious interest. Ran well for long way when pulled up in May, after year off; not impossible. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Mr Mafia returned from a 241-day break to be victorious at Newton Abbot last month and he has to be respected off a 2lb higher mark. That said, this is tougher and TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS looks the one to be with. The nine-year-old filled the runner-up spot at Worcester on his latest outing, when well clear of the third, and he looks sure to go close well just 1lb higher. Honey I'm Good should not be dismissed as she seeks a hat-trick.
HONEY I'M GOOD looks up to completing the hat-trick given the manner of his last 2 wins at Newton Abbot. Saint Arvans rates the main threat back down in class, though Brief Time may have more to offer over this trip.
The step up to 3m should definitely suit GREY SKIES ands he is taken to land this competitive race.

1st (7) (7/1 +0%) Long Call |
7/1(+0%) | (7) Long Call 7/1, Well below form when last seen over hurdles but well treated and this C&D winner ran well on the Flat recently, so he's not one to rule out despite his quirks. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6.5/1 +7%) Fandabidozi |
6.5/1(+7%) | (3) Fandabidozi 6.5/1, Modest stayer on the Flat who has been running to a similar level consistently over hurdles, third at Worcester last time. Cheekpieces on for the first time in this sphere, but they'll need to spark improvement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +27%) Trick Of The Tail |
4/1(+27%) | (5) Trick Of The Tail 4/1, Fair form shown in bumpers and while he has yet to match that over hurdles, he posted another solid effort when fourth in a novice at Stratford last time and he's potentially well treated switched to handicaps. Yard boasts an excellent record at this track, so he's worth a market check. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (11/1 +21%) Lightening Gesture |
11/1(+21%) | (9) Lightening Gesture 11/1, Fair Flat winner who posted creditable third of 8 on handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen in February. Failed to build on that promise when fifth at Plumpton 3 weeks later and off since. Not one to write off just yet. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/1 -82%) My Brother Jack |
10/1(-82%) | (4) My Brother Jack 10/1, Modest Flat winner who found only one too good on his first 3 starts over hurdles. Bit disappointing at Market Rasen in May but he has returned to form on the level since and opening mark looks reasonable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (22/1 -83%) Lindwall |
22/1(-83%) | (10) Lindwall 22/1, Fair stayer on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Well held over hurdles for this yard, including in a handicap at Stratford a month ago, so has a bit to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (1.25/1 +38%) Gavin |
1.25/1(+38%) | (1) Gavin 1.25/1, Landed a Fakenham selling handicap on his final start for Joe Ponting and notched 2 quick Ffos Las wins for his current yard. Has remained in form since and shaped better than the result (did too much too soon) at Market Rasen last time, so he's still one to be interested in. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (28/1 -250%) Gerard Mentor |
28/1(-250%) | (2) Gerard Mentor 28/1, Scored twice last autumn but his 3 completed outings since have been underwhelming. Bit more encouragement prior to falling at Southwell last time and his mark is on the slide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FANDABIDOZI ran well at Worcester last time when finishing third, despite losing a shoe, so that performance could arguably be marked up. The son of Mastercraftsman is likely be there at the finish now eased in grade. Gavin has to be respected, as he has won two out of four starts for the Peter Bowen stable and can go well once again, along with Trick Of The Tail on his handicap bow.
GAVIN has started positively for his current yard and was better than the result in a much more competitive contest than he need contest at Market Rasen last time. The hood goes back on now and he still looks ahead of his mark, so he takes preference over Trick of The Tail, who is potentially well treated on Flat form. My Brother Jack is another one to consider.
This can go to class-dropper GAVIN, who was right in the thick of things for a long way in a valuable race at Market Rasen last month.

1st (3) (4/1 +33%) Simply Red |
4/1(+33%) | (3) Simply Red 4/1, C&D winner last August and likely needed her reappearance at Market Rasen last month. Eased 2 lb since and should be spot on now, so likely to compete. On fairly tough mark but won twice here last year and ran okay last month, after a layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (20/1 -208%) Eagle's Realm |
20/1(-208%) | (2) Eagle's Realm 20/1, Dual winner at Stratford last summer. Last two efforts in this sphere have been disappointing but he ran well on the Flat last time and his mark isn't insurmountable. Dual hurdle winner last summer and ran well on the Flat for new stable last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2.25/1 +59%) Zamond |
2.25/1(+59%) | (4) Zamond 2.25/1, Gives his running more often than not and wasn't especially suited by the way things panned out at Worcester last time. Dropped to a handy mark and can't be dismissed. Not at best on either start since a short break but on good mark and enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (18/1 -13%) Herecomesfreddie |
18/1(-13%) | (7) Herecomesfreddie 18/1, Bumper winner who hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Worcester 44 days ago. Mark is potentially lenient and still early days. Soundly beaten on handicap debut in June and needs that outing to have done him good. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7.5/1 -67%) Forever A Dove |
7.5/1(-67%) | (6) Forever A Dove 7.5/1, Runner-up twice in bumpers and made a successful start over hurdles in 2m Southwell mares' maiden. Has remained in form since and still has the scope for a bigger effort. Won modest mares' maiden on hurdle debut but safely held on last month's handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (3/1 +40%) Toronto |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Toronto 3/1, Fairly useful at best on the Flat. Won a pair of 2m novice hurdles last spring but found life tougher in handicaps after. Starts out for a shrewd stable on a reduced mark after 7 months off, so worth monitoring in the betting. Out of form at end of 2022 but makes stable debut from very dangerous mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (8/1 +60%) She Has Notions |
8/1(+60%) | (8) She Has Notions 8/1, Made a solid start when third in a novice hurdle at Kilbeggan for John Halley in July but little impact for current yard. Visored and tongue tied for the first time now, but hard to make a solid case for. Tailed off last time and now 0-6 over hurdles but wind op offers a ray of hope. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (18/1 -13%) Pot Of Paint |
18/1(-13%) | (9) Pot Of Paint 18/1, Modest maiden over hurdles for John Groucott in the first half of 2022 and, having been sold cheaply, offered little returning from 15 months off on debut for current yard at Uttoxeter 16 days ago. Plenty to prove. Pulled up last month, after a long absence; leap of faith required to support him here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (66/1 -100%) Chasamax |
66/1(-100%) | (5) Chasamax 66/1, Three-time winner in this sphere for Nicky Henderson (including over C&D) but ended time with that yard below par and has continued in the same vein for current stable. Others make more appeal. Generally very disappointing for current stable since the spring; headgear switched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
COEUR AIMANT made a promising return to action when filling the runner-up spot over 2m at Uttoxeter last month. Given that was also his first run since wind surgery, he is fancied to improve, despite being 5lb out of the handicap. Eagle's Realm looks his most serious danger following a creditable second over 1m6f on the Flat last month, while Forever A Dove heads the remainder.
Although out of sorts when last seen, TORONTO has plummeted in the weights and now makes his debut for a shrewd outfit, so he's worth chancing if the market speaks in his favour after 7 months off. Forever A Dove remains unexposed and is likely to threaten, while Coeur Aimant warrants a mention having been denied by a subsequent winner at Uttoxeter last time.
The most interesting runner is TORONTO, who has been given an excellent chance by the handicapper on his debut for Richard Newland.

1st (5) (3/1 +25%) The Big Jetaway |
3/1(+25%) | (5) The Big Jetaway 3/1, Made it 2-3 as a chaser in impressive fashion at Market Rasen (17.2f) a fortnight ago, jumping well and drawing clear before 3 out. Up 7 lb and has more to offer in this sphere. Easy Market Rasen winner and now 2-3 as a chaser; 7lb higher in better race; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6/1 -9%) Getaway Luv |
6/1(-9%) | (7) Getaway Luv 6/1, Successful at Ayr in March and resumed winning ways in first-time tongue strap at Cartmel 5 weeks ago. More needed up 7 lb but will be a threat if he again gets a strong pace to aim at. Good winner in a tongue-strap at Cartmel latest; up 7lb but claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Gold Link |
4.5/1(-29%) | (1) Gold Link 4.5/1, Much improved when opening account in 19.4f Stratford novice handicap chase 12 days ago. Can progress further and good shout under a penalty. Emphatic winner at Stratford 12 days ago; obvious chance under a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5.5/1 +15%) Trapista |
5.5/1(+15%) | (3) Trapista 5.5/1, Winning hurdler who again wasn't seen to best effect (conceded first run) back over fences at Worcester a fortnight ago, but there's no escaping the fact that she's proving expensive to follow. Ran well when second at Worcester (lame) but now 0-6 as a chaser. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (14/1 -17%) Gouet Des Bruyeres |
14/1(-17%) | (11) Gouet Des Bruyeres 14/1, Three-time winner over fences, the latest at Southwell (2m) in September. Ran well here in May but well beaten at Stratford last time. Cheekpieces back on. Return of cheekpieces a likely help but more exposed than many of his rivals. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 -50%) Barton Knoll |
18/1(-50%) | (2) Barton Knoll 18/1, No battler and an increasingly infrequent winner, tying up again late at Aintree 7 weeks ago. Others preferred. Fair run latest but no win since November 2021 and doesn't appear to be as good as he was. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (50/1 -150%) Dr T J Eckleburg |
50/1(-150%) | (4) Dr T J Eckleburg 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but hasn't returned in much form for new yard, well beaten on chase debut a fortnight ago. Plenty to prove. Well beaten in both starts for this stable, the latest on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (22/1 +45%) Vinnie The Hoddie |
22/1(+45%) | (6) Vinnie The Hoddie 22/1, Error-prone sort who won at Newton Abbot (2m) in March 2022. Stopped the slide back from 9 months off at Worcester recently but must back that up now. Just behind Trapista when third at Worcester, on return from a break; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (5/1 +0%) Stumps Or Slips |
5/1(+0%) | (10) Stumps Or Slips 5/1, Is going the right way over fences now, impressing most with the strength of his finish when following up his Warwick success at Worcester 9 weeks ago. Another bold bid expected up 8 lb. Up 8lb for 2m4f Worcester win in June; also up in class but impossible to dismiss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (8.5/1 +6%) Sao |
8.5/1(+6%) | (8) Sao 8.5/1, Not scored for some time and risky in the sense that he rarely runs two races the same nowadays. Failed to settle at Stratford last time and while he continues to edge down the weights, others look stronger. Has been running well this summer but losing run now at 17. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
An emphatic winner over an extended 2m3f at Stratford last month, Gold Link must enter calculations dropping back in distance. However, he does have to shoulder a 7lb penalty, so GETAWAY LUV shades the vote. Lizzie Quinlan's inmate bolted up over this trip at Cartmel most recently and a 7lb rise looks unlikely to hold him back. Stumps Or Slips is another to consider now 8lb higher for his most recent success.
Some unexposed chasers here, with GOLD LINK getting the narrow vote over The Big Jetaway and Stumps Or Slips, the three of them all open to further improvement after victories last time out.
A competitive contest can go the the penalised GOLD LINK, who looked good when winning at Stratford recently.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
