(6)  (12/1 -9%)Gypsey's Secret |
12/1(-9%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gypsey's Secret 12/1, Got off the mark aged 9 despite being 5 lb out of the handicap over this C&D (soft) in March. Followed that with a decent effort in defeat at Kelso the following month and she won't be without an each-way chance if fully tuned-up. C&D winner two runs back and latest defeat was over 2m6f around Kelso. |
|||
1st (8)  (17/2 +29%)Glory Hights |
17/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Glory Hights 17/2, Remains winless following 8 attempts over hurdles but was runner-up twice last season and closed that campaign off with respectable performances at Newcastle and Hexham. Should make his presence felt if ready to roll. Nine-race maiden whose placed efforts have come on soft or heavy ground. |
|||
2nd (2)  (18/5 -60%)Keppel Queen |
18/5(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Keppel Queen 18/5, Shaped well on third hurdles start in a Warwick maiden and bettered that when runner-up with cheekpieces back on for her recent handicap bow at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft). Combination of the extra furlong and this stiff track are both positive factors where this 5-y-o is concerned. Big player. 2nd to an improver on h'cap debut and Benjamin Macey takes away 10lb this afternoon. |
|||
3rd (3)  (11/1 -120%)Perculator |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Perculator 11/1, Returned to form with cheekpieces refitted when narrowly landing a 6-runner Wetherby handicap (21.2f, good) 18 days ago. However, she's up 4 lb and it's worth noting that she failed to build on her breakthrough success last season (also at Wetherby) in 4 subsequent starts during that campaign. 4lb rise for Wetherby (2m5f) is no big deal and he'll be fine over this longer distance. |
|||
4th (5)  (4/1 +20%)Adveram |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Adveram 4/1, Winless last term but proved consistent and deservedly opened his hurdles account on return at Ayr (19.5f, good to soft). 4 lb rise fair enough and moving back up in trip shouldn't be an issue, so he has to go on the shortlist. Yard also saddles Teddy Mac. Up only 4lb for 2m3f win at Ayr and has shown that he stays 3m. |
|||
5th (1)  (9/1 +10%)Wise Move |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wise Move 9/1, Prolific winner in points and ran to a fair level first time up over hurdles when second in a maiden at Hexham in May. Has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, though, including when tried in a hood (retained here) back at Hexham last month. Improvement needed now handicapping. Point winner who showed promise under rules before finding 2m too sharp a test latest. |
|||
6th (9)  (15/2 +70%)Don Brocco |
15/2(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Don Brocco 15/2, Dual winner in this sphere back in 2022. 0-10 and more miss than hit over fences since and while he returns to hurdles on a feasible mark, others make more appeal all the same. More of a chaser and last season's best run was over 4m on heavy ground. |
|||
7th (11)  (5/2 +69%)Teddy Mac |
5/2(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Teddy Mac 5/2, Produced by far his best effort yet on second start in handicap company when fourth of 10 at Ayr (24.3f, good to soft) last time. Beaten under 2 lengths there and live each-way chance off the same mark, provided he is able to build on that improved display. Having only his eighth race here and he was bang there over 3m at Ayr after a break. |
|||
8th (12)  (28/1 +58%)Ideal De Romay |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Ideal De Romay 28/1, Irish point winner but he's 0-12 under Rules and looks up against once again from 7 lb out of the handicap. Ran a fair first race for this yard over fences; more needed though from out of weights. |
|||
9th (4)  (16/1 +52%)Jelski |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jelski 16/1, Back-to-back winner over fences at Cartmel last summer (well handicapped in this sphere judged on those exploits) but it's been a struggle for the most part this year and he didn't shown back hurdling in a first-time visor (retained) at Hexham the other day. Ran a laboured race on his return to hurdles at Hexham when tried in a visor. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KEPPEL QUEEN benefited for both stepping up in trip and the reapplication of cheekpieces when runner-up on her handicap bow at Chepstow earlier in the month. She is likely to have more to offer for a stable in fine form at present. Adveram went up 4lb for his first career success at Ayr and poses an obvious threat, while others to consider include Gypsey's Secret and Topkapi Star.
The one with the most attractive profile is KEPPEL QUEEN, who took a sizeable step forward on her recent handicap debut at Chepstow and there should be better to come from this unexposed 5-y-o. The Ian Duncan-trained duo Adveram and Teddy Mac may emerge as the main dangers, while Gypsey's Secret could also have a part to play if fit enough to do herself justice back from a seven-month break.
The winner was a sharp improver when KEPPEL QUEEN (nap) ran her best race yet on handicap debut at Chepstow and she can go one better.

1st (1)  (10/3 +5%)Boomslang |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Boomslang 10/3, Maiden hurdle winner who delivered an extremely polished round of jumping when successful on chase debut at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft) last month. Backed that up when close second at Newcastle (jumped right) and open to further improvement, particularly now back on a right-handed track. Proving better over fences than hurdles; on a career-high mark but one with a chance. |
|||
2nd (9)  (5/1 +64%)Raceview Road |
5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Raceview Road 5/1, Multiple Irish point winner who was placed in a bumper and couple of Newcastle novice hurdles prior to making a winning chase debut in handicap at Kelso (21.6f) in April. Decent in frame efforts there next 2 starts, including on return, but more needed to resuming ways. Won 2 Irish points; won on chase debut; fair run after a break latest; each-way chance. |
|||
3rd (2)  (10/1 -25%)Sound And Fury |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sound And Fury 10/1, Built on last season's return when winning handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f) a year ago, rallying to lead again close home. Off since but should make a chaser (Irish point winner). Winning pointer; won h'cap hurdle last November; off since; interesting on chase debut. |
|||
4th (8)  (10/1 +38%)Innisfree Lass |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Innisfree Lass 10/1, Improved upped in trip/with cheekpieces fitted when running out a wide-margin winner of 2 handicap hurdles at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) during second half of last term. Offered something to work on sent chasing at Stratford on return. Won 2 3m h'cap hurdles last term; beaten 20l on chase debut; more needed; rain would suit. |
|||
5th (6)  (7/2 +42%)Dream Boy |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dream Boy 7/2, Irish point winner who struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in 2m maiden at Kelso in December. Made the frame there next 4 starts before making a winning chase bow at Wetherby on return last month, impressing with his attitude. Has more to offer as a chaser. 3m Irish point winner; won a 2m5f novice h'cap on chase debut; up 3lb; has a chance. |
|||
|U| (5)  (3/1 -9%)Lady In The Park |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady In The Park 3/1, Irish point winner who bettered hurdles form at the first attempt when close fourth on chase bow at Wetherby on return, doing all her best work late in the day returned to a trip well shy of her optimum. Return to further will suit and she must be considered. Irish point winner; length fourth on chase debut (2m5f); stays 3m; should progress. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (20/1 -100%)Motion In Limine |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Motion In Limine 20/1, Dual hurdles winner but mixed record over fences. However, ran well back from a break (had another breathing operation) when close second at Hexham and backed that up when filling same spot at Cartmel. Back from another break here (had another breathing operation). Dual winning 3m hurdler; 0-7 over fences (2nd on last two starts); chance after wind op. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (22/1 +33%)Wearelongterm |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Wearelongterm 22/1, Winning pointer who showed ability on chase bow and over hurdles after. Market should reveal expectations back from a long absence. Ex-Gordon Elliott; won Irish point and 4th in hunter chase; stiff task after long break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Boomslang is likely to appreciate going back right-handed based on his recent second at Newcastle, where jumping in that direction may well have cost him the race. The vote, though, goes to LADY IN THE PARK. The six-year-old shaped with a fair amount of promise when fourth behind Dream Boy on her chasing debut at Wetherby and the manner of that performance, along with a 3lb pull in the weights with that winner, suggested that going up in trip would bring the best out of her.
BOOMSLANG should have made it 2-2 over fences at Newcastle but gave away a bit too much ground with his jumping and can resume winning ways back at a right-handed track. Lady In The Park shaped very well when ½-length behind Dream Boy at Wetherby on her return and rates a big threat back up in trip.
In an open race the vote goes to MOTION IN LIMINE who was second on his last two starts and returns to action having had wind surgery.

1st (4)  (5/6 +44%)Ira Hayes |
5/6(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ira Hayes 5/6, Point winner impressive when making his second start in bumpers a successful one at Wexford 3 weeks ago. Should have a decent future over jumps. Comfortable winner of a Wexford bumper last month; of obvious interest on hurdle debut.. |
|||
2nd (11)  (22/1 -238%)Dazzlelikethis |
22/1(-238%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Dazzlelikethis 22/1, Cost a bit and every chance when fell last sole start in Irish points (Dec 2023). One to note on hurdling bow. Close 2nd when fell last in an Irish point in December; interesting hurdle newcomer.. |
|||
3rd (9)  (10/1 +38%)Skuna Bay |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Skuna Bay 10/1, From a jumping family and placed both starts in Irish points, runner-up latest (Jan 2024). One to consider on hurdles debut. £25,000 purchase after being placed in both his Irish points; market can guide.. |
|||
4th (7)  (14/1 -87%)Orkney Blue |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Orkney Blue 14/1, Promising start in Hexham bumper in the spring, essentially beaten by lack of experience. Sold from Toby Lawes £35,000 in May and should make his mark over jumps like his brother, the fairly useful hurdler Bertie Blue. Worth considering on hurdle bow based on his debut second in a Hexham bumper in April.. |
|||
5th (1)  (66/1 +34%)Balking |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Balking 66/1, Showed ability when fourth of 12 in a bumper at Kelso and probably needed the run starting out over hurdles here 8 months on. Soundly beaten on last month's hurdle debut over C&D and others have more obvious claims.. |
|||
6th (6)  (15/8 +25%)Monty Bodkin |
15/8(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Monty Bodkin 15/8, Expensive as a store (out of Grade 1 winning mare) and improved when winning Doncaster bumper when last seen in February. Smashing looker sure to have a good future over jumps for new yard. Bumper winner in February; a likely type to improve for hurdles; stable debut.. |
|||
7th (8)  (16/1 +20%)Shadow Chaser |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shadow Chaser 16/1, Point winner who was third in a 19f Cork bumper for John Gleeson and has shown a bit in a couple of novice hurdles in the North this autumn. Can do better when handicapping. Has shown ability in a couple of novice hurdles but probably one for handicaps.. |
|||
8th (5)  (33/1 -136%)Maggies Boy |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Maggies Boy 33/1, Went with little immediate encouragement for bumpers at Haydock at the end of last year but bred to do better now jumping up in trip. Brings potential over this longer trip on hurdle debut but might find a couple too good.. |
|||
9th (2)  (250/1 -150%)Blue Plan |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blue Plan 250/1, Well beaten in novice hurdles. Soundly beaten on all three starts over hurdles and easy to look elsewhere.. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (66/1 -100%)Alltalknoaction |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Alltalknoaction 66/1, Third sole start in point bumpers/runner-up sole start in points in early-2024. Placed in his point bumper and a maiden point; probably best watched on hurdle debut. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (250/1 -67%)Gatsby Blue |
250/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gatsby Blue 250/1, Well beaten in 2 novice hurdles (tongue tied at Ayr latest). Offered little so far and needs to find considerable improvement for this step up in trip.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Ira Hayes left behind his Rules debut effort at Listowel when getting off the mark in a Wexford bumper and is likely to prove popular on his first attempt over timber. However, the form of that contest doesn't appear to be particularly strong and MONTY BODKIN might be the one. The five-year-old bounced back from a below-par display when scoring at Doncaster in March and now debuts for a stable that have run some of their better prospects at this venue. Dazzlelikethis and Orkney Blue appeal most of the remainder.
IRA HAYES created a good impression when landing a bumper at Wexford recently and should have a good future over jumps. He gets the vote over the similarly promising Monty Bodkin, who won a Doncaster bumper for Ben Pauling when last seen in February. Orkney Blue also starts out for a new yard and boasts plenty of potential.
With little in the way of worthwhile hurdle form on offer, bumper winners Monty Bodkin and IRA HAYES are the two who appeal most.

1st (1)  (7/1 -75%)Aboutdamntime |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aboutdamntime 7/1, £50,000 5-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Washed Ashore. Dam (c115/h136) 2m-2½m hurdle winner. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Jan 2024) and warrants respect now starting out under Rules. Runner-up in Irish point; sold £50,000 in February; worth market check on rules debut. |
|||
2nd (5)  (5/4 -14%)Kevin's Pride |
5/4(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kevin's Pride 5/4, Mount Nelson gelding who made a promising start to his career when winning 8-runner bumper at Kilbeggan (2m) on debut in August, travelling strongly and drawing clear final 1f. Good hurdles prospect. Easy winner of Kilbeggan bumper; likely type on hurdle debut; should acquit himself well. |
|||
3rd (2)  (4/5 +64%)Dedicated Hero |
4/5(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dedicated Hero 4/5, Placed in Irish points and progressed with each run in bumpers, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in that sphere at Kelso (16.2f) in May. Interesting hurdling debutant. Dual bumper winner on good/soft; may want rain but can go well if lining up.. |
|||
4th (8)  (66/1 -230%)Scarlet Jet |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Scarlet Jet 66/1, Cost 41,000 after winning a point in May and found the test inadequate when only sixth of 7 in novice hurdle at Ayr (2m) on recent Rules debut. Can do better now upped in trip. Point winner; not disgraced on rules debut; step up in trip looks positive.. |
|||
5th (7)  (125/1 -89%)Tory Hill |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tory Hill 125/1, Runner-up all 4 completed starts Irish points and shaped as if needing the run when well held in a C&D novice on Rules debut the previous month. Needs to leave that well behind. 100-1 on debut here last month, when weakening quickly; one for another day. |
|||
6th (10)  (28/1 +58%)Giveupyerauldsins |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Giveupyerauldsins 28/1, Maiden Irish pointer who was readily outpaced on her Rules debut at Hexham (20.1f, soft) last month. Hard to fancy. Beaten 28l on rules debut in a Hexham mares' maiden hurdle last month; much more needed.. |
|||
7th (4)  (18/1 +28%)Jet Light |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jet Light 18/1, £28,000 5-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including French hurdle/chase winner Eni Light and fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Fun Light. Runner-up on second of 3 starts in Irish points, fourth last time (May 6). Showed promise without winning in two Irish points in the spring; sold £28,000 in May. |
|||
8th (3)  (28/1 -12%)Donny's Fortune |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Donny's Fortune 28/1, £8,000 5-y-o, £1,000 7-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Madera Mist. Dual point winner, third last time (Apr 28). Tongue tied for Rules debut. Won 2-12 points; changed hands for £1,000 in July; looks best watched on rules debut.. |
|||
9th (6)  (250/1 -150%)One Cool Citizen |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) One Cool Citizen 250/1, Winning pointer but has shown little all 3 starts over hurdles. 125-1 and beaten 60l+ back over hurdles at Kelso recently; best watched. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (150/1 -50%)Stress Reaction |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Stress Reaction 150/1, Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers but shaped as if amiss when well held in a Wetherby bumper on debut in March, weakening quickly. Tailed off in a bumper on rules debut; may improve for switch to hurdles and longer trip.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Dual bumper winner Dedicated Hero make considerable appeal now sent over hurdles, but it was hard not to be impressed by the manner in which KEVIN'S PRIDE won at Kilbeggan on debut. John McConnell's five-year-old has been given some time off since that triumph and appears to have been found a fine opportunity now tackling obstacles for the first time. Aboutdamntime's most recent start in the pointing sphere has worked out well so he must be of some interest too.
KEVIN'S PRIDE ran out of an impressive winner of a Kilbeggan bumper on his debut in August and is bred to be suited by this longer trip now going hurdling, so he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record. Dedicated Hero is also an interesting recruit to this sphere based on his bumper exploits and is an obvious threat, with Rules-debutant Aboutdamntime another to note.
The suggestion is KEVIN'S PRIDE, who won easily at Kilbeggan and looks a likely type for hurdles.

11/8(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Flic Ou Voyou 11/8, Gained some reward for some solid efforts when making all with a likeable display at Newcastle last time. Should give another good account from the front. Off the mark for present yard last time (2nd runs in 12.30); chance off 2lb higher mark. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/2 -25%)Marown |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Marown 5/2, Hasn't won since his novice days but generally held form last season. Returns on a good mark and capable of going well fresh, so worth chancing. Last win was in 2021; on a career-low mark, shorter trip a slight concern but a contender. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 +36%)Envious Editor |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Envious Editor 7/2, Back to winning ways at Stratford in May and has acquitted himself well in defeat since. Should give his running again. Stratford winner in May; not at his best last two starts but on a good mark now. |
|||
4th (5)  (5/1 +80%)Ladronne |
5/1(+80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ladronne 5/1, Fair handicap chaser who regained the winning thread off 2 lb higher at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March. Hasn't fired since, though. Five-time chase winner; below form since second in March and best watched at present. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FLIC OU VOYOU gained a well-deserved victory at Newcastle recently and, pitched into a veterans' contest for the first time, a 2lb rise ought to be no barrier to further success. It's been a while since the returning Marown last got his head in front, although he won't be far away, while Envious Editor faced a stiff task behind Arkle contender L'Eau Du Sud at Stratford last time out and has less on his plate here.
MAROWN is a long time without a win but has run well fresh in the past, so he gets the marginal vote over Flic Ou Voyou, who scored at Newcastle last time. Cornerstone Lad is also considered.
This vote goes to the well-handicapped MAROWN to win his first race since 2021 despite this trip being on the short side.

7/4(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Epic West 7/4, €60,000 5-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Complete Unknown, stayed 25f. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (Mar 2024). Looks the one to beat. 60,000euros buy after showing promise in two Irish points; interesting on hurdles debut. |

2nd (7)  (4/1 +0%)Koukeo |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Koukeo 4/1, From quite a good French family and showed more than on debut when second in a bumper at Chepstow last time. Should take to hurdling, so not a forlorn hope. Creditable 2nd latest bumper start; chance in an ordinary race on hurdles debut. |
|||
3rd (3)  (10/1 -25%)Bridge Court |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bridge Court 10/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving R. Mike Smith when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft, 20/1) on hurdles bow 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Could build on that. Second in an Irish point; fair fourth at Kelso on hurdles/stable debut; should improve. |
|||
4th (8)  (14/1 +44%)Malfoy Manor |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Malfoy Manor 14/1, Runner-up in a point but hasn't shown a great deal under Rules as yet, looking more of a long-term project. Others more persuasive. Runner-up in a decent Irish point; bought for £100,000; bit disappointing for new yard. |
|||
5th (9)  (4/1 +33%)Prince Of Perth |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Prince Of Perth 4/1, Shaped like a stayer on his sole outing in bumpers and similar story so far over hurdles. This stiffer test is in his favour and he may feature. Fair form in two bumpers and in a novice hurdle after 660-day break; should improve. |
|||
6th (10)  (66/1 0%)Sam's Falcon |
66/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sam's Falcon 66/1, Down the field in a bumper and, while there was a glimmer of promise in a novice over C&D on hurdling debut, he's more one for low-grade handicaps. Well beaten in two bumpers; marked improvement needed now going over hurdles. |
|||
7th (13)  (150/1 -50%)Lizzie Luna |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lizzie Luna 150/1, Better than result first two starts in bumpers but failed to build on that encouragement last time. Likely to be brought along gradually as a hurdler. Modest form in three bumpers and needs to improve now going over hurdles.. |
|||
8th (12)  (11/1 +8%)Winchmore Hill |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Winchmore Hill 11/1, Runner-up sole start in points back in March 2022 and looked in need of outing when sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, soft, 9/2) on NH debut 8 months ago. Should do better. £150,000 buy after Irish point 2nd; off for 714 days; should improve on hurdles debut run. |
|||
9th (4)  (15/2 -50%)Broderick |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Broderick 15/2, Mid-field both starts in Irish bumpers for Declan Queally during the spring but more encouragement on debut for this yard when third in novice at Sedgefield a fortnight ago. Will have learned from that and could make his presence felt. Some promise in bumpers and when third on hurdles debut; track should suit; a possible. |
|||
|U| (14)  (66/1 -65%)Uokhun |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Uokhun 66/1, Arcadio mare who is bred to stay well and shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 11 in bumper at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft) in March 2023. Limited promise in two hurdling outings subsequently, though. Promising fourth in a bumper on debut but two ordinary efforts over hurdles. |
|||
10th (1)  (28/1 -40%)Balcomie Breeze |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Balcomie Breeze 28/1, Placed in bumpers but has looked in need of experience so far over hurdles. Others more persuasive. Fair form in bumpers in early 2023; then off for 570 days; well beaten over hurdles since. |
|||
11th (11)  (250/1 -150%)Swashbuckler |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Swashbuckler 250/1, Fairly useful maiden at best on Flat (stays 1¼m). Bought cheaply on the back of 3 disappointing Flat runs for Tom Lacey and not much to shout about over hurdles for present yard. Became disappointing on the Flat and hasn't shown much over hurdles; not an obvious one. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This might not be the deepest of novice hurdles and KOUKEO is fancied to come out on top. The O'Neills' four-year-old couldn't get involved in the Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival on debut before finding one too strong at Chepstow when starting out for his current team. The yard is in good form and the switch to hurdles looks certain to unlock improvement. Others to note include Epic West, Broderick and Bridge Court.
EPIC WEST has joined a good yard on the back of a point win in March and he's been found what appears an ideal starting point here, so he's fancied to make a successful Rules debut. Broderick can trouble him if improving from his hurdling debut and Prince of Perth should up his game facing a slightly stiffer test.
The lightly raced KOUKEO is taken to get off the mark on his jumps debut after his good second in a Chepstow bumper last month.

1st (1)  (9/4 -20%)Walk On Quest |
9/4(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Walk On Quest 9/4, Posted a career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 24 days ago. More to offer so he's expected to be bang there despite a 5 lb weights rise. Stayed on to win on chase debut at Kelso (2m1f) latest; up 5lb; should be more to come.. |
|||
2nd (6)  (9/1 -80%)Fearless Action |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fearless Action 9/1, Scored at Kelso last October and had a wind op before recording a creditable second of 7 to Treaty Boy in handicap chase at Catterick (15.7f, soft). Off 9 months since but still needs considering. 2m1f chase winner (soft); reasonable record when fresh; each-way player.. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/2 +50%)Treaty Boy |
9/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Treaty Boy 9/2, Made a winning chase debut at Catterick in February on final run for Rebecca Menzies. Good second on yard debut there later that month but not in the same form in a pair of runs this term at Sedgefield and Carlisle. Needs to step forward. Catterick chase winner; below par last two starts; drop in grade may help; bit to prove.. |
|||
4th (4)  (4/1 +47%)Tommy Combats |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tommy Combats 4/1, Placed in Irish points and going the right way over hurdles, second of 12 in handicap at Perth (2m4f) in April. Can make his presence felt now starting out over fences. Back down in trip and up 3lb for chase debut but he is open to improvement in this sphere.. |
|||
5th (10)  (9/1 +25%)Getaway Jewel |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Getaway Jewel 9/1, Twelve runs since his last win in 2023 but he posted a creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 19 days ago. In the picture back over fences. Not disgraced over hurdles latest; handy mark for return to chasing and not written off.. |
|||
6th (8)  (11/1 +45%)Iwa |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Iwa 11/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in France but has failed to match that form for Rose Dobbin and his current yard. Blinkers go on now. 2m2f and 2m4f chase winner in France; has struggled in Britain; no recent sign of revival.. |
|||
7th (11)  (100/1 -150%)Edmond Dantes |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Edmond Dantes 100/1, Remains a maiden after 19 runs and pulled up in handicap chase at Sedgefield (16.4f, good) 5 days ago. Dual 1m2f Flat winner; 0-19 over jumps and is readily opposed.. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (10/1 -100%)Geordies Dream |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Geordies Dream 10/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when getting off the mark in 10-runner novice hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 177 days ago. Much respected now going chasing with the headgear again sported. Bumper and hurdle winner; more needed up 4lb in a handicap on his belated chase debut.. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (16/1 +36%)Titanium Bullet |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Titanium Bullet 16/1, Remains a maiden after 16 runs and last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f, good, 22/1) 18 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Placed over fences; handy mark; tongue-tie accompanies cheekpieces; not written off.. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (28/1 -100%)Conquer The Breeze |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Conquer The Breeze 28/1, A fair maiden hurdler but he fell on his chasing bow and was pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good) 149 days ago. Something to prove now. Showed promise in a Hexham hurdle; failed to complete in two chases; plenty to prove.. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (50/1 -213%)Ritson |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ritson 50/1, Badly out of sorts over fences since scoring on Boxing Day in 2022 and no real signs of a revival back over hurdles in May for Rebecca Menzies. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. 1-10 over fences; out of sorts in the spring; best watched on his first start since.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A taking winner on his chase debut at Kelso last month, WALK ON QUEST is likely to have plenty more improvement off 5lb higher and dropping slightly in trip should not inconvenience either. Wind surgery seemed to have a positive effect on Fearless Action when runner-up at Catterick in February and he is a player on his return. Treaty Boy and Tommy Combats enter the equation too.
WALK ON QUEST got off to the perfect start over fences at Kelso and a 5 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from following up. Chasing-newcomer Tommy Combats brings a fair bit of potential and could emerge as the chief danger ahead of Getaway Jewel and Geordies Dream.
With respect to bumper and hurdle winner Geordies Dream, this looks a good chance for WALK ON QUEST to make it 2-2 over fences.

1st (8)  (5/2 +0%)Disco Annie |
5/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Disco Annie 5/2, Advanced her form on her handicap bow when readily going in over C&D 8 days ago. Player under a 7 lb penalty. Carries a 7lb penalty for last week's C&D win but she's unexposed and remains of interest.. |
|||
2nd (3)  (85/40 +53%)Coniston George |
85/40(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Coniston George 85/40, C&D winner who posted a good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, soft) in May. Needs considering on his seasonal return. C&D winner; goes well fresh; should be very competitive on his return; unchanged mark.. |
|||
3rd (1)  (20/1 -25%)War Soldier |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) War Soldier 20/1, Notched a first win in handicap company at Wetherby in February but failed to back it up in two subsequent runs last term. Needs to hit the ground running after 7 months off. Badly out of sorts in two starts since winning at Wetherby; bit to prove after a break.. |
|||
4th (2)  (6/1 -50%)Blue Fin |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blue Fin 6/1, Back to his best with reappearance win in 11-runner handicap hurdle over C&D 33 days ago. Up 5 lb but still not taken lightly. Up 5lb for C&D win (soft); may need a career best to win again but that isn't ruled out.. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/1 +8%)Well Educated |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Well Educated 11/1, C&D winner who recorded a respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D 26 days ago. One for the shortlist. Inconsistent since latest win in May but better efforts give him each-way claims.. |
|||
6th (5)  (12/1 -100%)Bringbackmemories |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bringbackmemories 12/1, A fairly useful winner when last seen over hurdles in early 2023. Scored four times on the Flat in 2024 so he's not without interest back in this sphere for his in-form yard. Successful 2024 on the Flat; 2m1f hurdle winner; fit from AW and market can guide.. |
|||
7th (9)  (20/1 -67%)The Navigator |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Navigator 20/1, Bagged a third win of the season at Sedgefield in October but only fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 10 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track. Winner here in both codes; lacked fluency latest and handicapper may have caught up again.. |
|||
8th (7)  (28/1 +15%)Mojo Ego |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mojo Ego 28/1, Won a pair of juvenile hurdles for Harry Derham last season but he hasn't gone on from an encouraging stable debut at Cartmel this time around. Something to prove. 2m hurdle winner; handicapper may need to relent further to see him win again.. |
|||
9th (6)  (13/2 +46%)Majestic Jameela |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Majestic Jameela 13/2, Scored three times over hurdles last term but fell heavily 3rd in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f) 38 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Fell on her reappearance and she's likely to need some improvement to defy this mark.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Turned out again quickly under a 7lb penalty after getting off the mark with a comfortable success over C&D last week, DISCO ANNIE has the potential to continue improving and she can land the double for her in-form connections. A determined winner over track and trip last month, Blue Fin must enter calculations, along with the consistent Coniston George and Bringbackmemories, who has paid his way on the Flat since he was last seen in this sphere.
Plenty with chances but it could pay to side with BRINGBACKMEMORIES to make a winning return to hurdling after an absence having been an improved dual winner on the Flat this autumn. Brian Hughes is also a significant booking in the saddle. Disco Annie rates a big threat though under a 7 lb penalty for her recent comfortable C&D victory. Blue Fin, The Navigator and Well Educated all need factoring into this highly competitive handicap too.
C&D winner CONISTON GEORGE acts on slow ground, goes well when fresh and he is taken to score

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.
