1st (1)  (Evens +33%)Haarar |
Evens(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Haarar Evens, Confirmed the promise of his second at Uttoxeter last month when getting off the mark in this sphere at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago, doing well to get there given his inexperience was still in evidence. Capable of better still, so fancied to go in again. Fair Flat-racer; won readily over hurdles this month and is open to further progress. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3/1 -84%)Eaton Anne |
3/1(-84%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eaton Anne 3/1, Successful in November on his only start in Irish points and showed plenty of ability on his Rules debut when third of 11 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) just over 3 weeks ago, albeit well positioned. Fancied to build on that effort. Irish point winner; placed in recent Southwell maiden hurdle; has potential. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/1 -29%)Mandega |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mandega 9/1, Fair Flat winner who offered minor promise in a handful of starts over hurdles last winter. Arrives fit from the level and he's certainly not ruled out. Showed aptitude for hurdling against own age-group last season; placed on Flat last week. |
|||
4th (4)  (13/2 +7%)Kingston Narcissus |
13/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kingston Narcissus 13/2, Fair and consistent maiden on Flat in France (stays 15f) for E. Libaud (sold €30,000 in November). Backed at long odds and offered something to work on fitted with a hood when fifth of 11 in novice at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) on hurdling debut recently and is entitled to progress. Placed a few times on the Flat in France and shaped with promise on recent hurdle debut. |
|||
5th (2)  (22/1 +33%)Bunker Bay |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bunker Bay 22/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m), won once in 2023. Sold from William Knight's yard for 13,000 gns in October but been well beaten in maiden/novice hurdle this year. Looks one for handicaps after this. Fair on the Flat but soundly beaten on both hurdling starts. |
|||
6th (8)  (80/1 -220%)Standoutandbeseen |
80/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Standoutandbeseen 80/1, Failed to complete both starts in points and finished a well-held fourth in a novice hurdle over C&D on Monday. Made low-key rules debut when well-held fourth in C&D mares' novice on Monday. |
|||
7th (6)  (150/1 -50%)Robiola |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Robiola 150/1, Modest in bumpers and ran to only a similar level on Uttoxeter hurdle debut in April 2022. Tailed off on sole Flat start last year and is seemingly very hard to train, shaping as if needing the run back over hurdles after another year off at Hexham earlier this month. Struggled when 150-1 for recent Hexham novice. |
|||
8th (5)  (200/1 -33%)Racquet Club |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Racquet Club 200/1, Failed to trouble the judge in 3 runs on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh in 2022 and has achieved nothing in 3 starts in novice hurdles this spring. Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three recent novice hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HAARAR has been busy of late switching between codes and he must hold every chance on the back of a taking success at Southwell last time. A 7lb penalty will make life tougher, but he should have too much for Eaton Anne, who showed plenty of promise himself when third at the same track on his Rules debut. Kingston Narcissus is another open to improvement on just his second start for the Rebecca Menzies yard.
This can go to HAARAR, who did well to get there given his inexperience was still evident at Southwell just over a fortnight ago and with further progress on the cards, Sam England's charge can get the better of Eaton Anne, who showed plenty of ability on his Rules debut at that same track earlier this month. Mandega and Kingston Narcissus are also both interesting and can fight out third.
The suggestion is former French Flat-racer KINGSTON NARCISSUS, who ran well for a long way on his recent hurdling debut.

(1)  (9/1 -64%)Calevade |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Calevade 9/1, Showed a real liking for this venue last summer, winning back-to-back C&D events, including this race. Badly out of sorts in pair of handicaps at Sedgefield earlier this year but refitting of cheekpieces/return to this venue provide optimism for a better showing. Dual C&D winner last season but returns here with qustions to answer. |
|||
1st (12)  (12/1 +25%)Iolani |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Iolani 12/1, Veteran whose last victory came back in September 2021. Ran best race for some time when third at Perth (16.2f) on penultimate start in April but failed by a long chalk to back that up at Sedgefield earlier this month. Penultimate run proved a modicum of ability remains; younger rivals appeal more, though. |
|||
2nd (8)  (7/2 +22%)Callin Baton Rouge |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Callin Baton Rouge 7/2, Remains a maiden but not far off the pick of her efforts when 11 lengths second of 6 in mares' handicap at Fontwell (19.2f, heavy) in March. Longer trip possibly stretched her then and claims eased back down in trip here. Ran well to make the frame in three handicaps in February/March; high on the list here. |
|||
3rd (3)  (12/1 +40%)Supposedtobe |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Supposedtobe 12/1, Won selling hurdle and Uttoxeter handicap last summer (also successful on Flat) but has struggled in handicaps since. Ease in class rates a plus now at least. Won selling hurdle and Flat handicap last summer but has not fired this year. |
|||
4th (13)  (11/2 +50%)Clean Getaway |
11/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Clean Getaway 11/2, Still winless over hurdles and made little impact in trio of starts between the flags prior to a creditable fourth back under Rules in a Sedgefield handicap hurdle (16.8f) earlier this month. Ran big race when second in this event last year and returns here after a good recent run. |
|||
5th (11)  (11/1 -29%)Bushmill Boy |
11/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bushmill Boy 11/1, Long-standing maiden who dispelled a lesser effort when finishing runner-up behind a wide-margin winner at Hexham (16.2f) in March. Each-way possibilities again. 0-20 over hurdles but is reasonably consistent; ran well last time; considered. |
|||
6th (6)  (11/2 +31%)Ruler Of The River |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ruler Of The River 11/2, Maiden on the Flat who stayed on well to open her account in a juvenile maiden at Kelso (16.2f) in March. Probably best not judged too harshly on exploits in this sphere next 2 starts and she comes here on the back of a couple of spins on the Flat. Not discounted. Won juvenile maiden hurdle in March but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has been underwhelming. |
|||
7th (4)  (16/1 -14%)My Brother Jack |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) My Brother Jack 16/1, Modest Flat winner and a similar standard over hurdles without managing to get his head in front. Below form with usual blinkers left off (back on here) when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago but possible he'll be sharper with that under his belt here. Placed off 7lb higher in the autumn; a possible if recent reappearance run brought him on. |
|||
8th (5)  (25/1 -233%)Toscan Genius |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Toscan Genius 25/1, Modest Flat winner who was runner-up on debut in this sphere in November and caught the eye on qualifying run when sixth in a Sedgefield novice (16.8f) 3 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left. Possible he could do better yet on that evidence and worth a second look here. Second to short-odds favourite on hurdle debut but disappointing since. |
|||
9th (7)  (16/1 +0%)Razzo Italiano |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Razzo Italiano 16/1, Scored at Southwell in November 2022 but absent since pulling up in a Leicester claimer in February of last year. Another who may be best guided by the betting back from 16 months off. Absent since pulled up in a claimer in February 2023. |
|||
10th (14)  (28/1 +15%)Coeur Aimant |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Coeur Aimant 28/1, Didn't take to chasing following a promising return over hurdles last summer and ran some way below pick of his form in this sphere when eighth of 13 in handicap at Perth (16.2f) 5 weeks ago. Work to do from out of the weights here. Second off lowly mark on heavy ground last summer but has not shown a great deal since. |
|||
11th (10)  (7/1 +50%)Broadford Publican |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Broadford Publican 7/1, Fared better than previously for current yard when fourth in a Hexham seller (16.2f) at the start of the month but found things tougher back in handicap company at that venue 8 days ago. Others rate that bit stronger. Not beaten far in a seller this month but yet to be placed after 13 runs. |
|||
12th (2)  (12/1 +25%)Victory March |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Victory March 12/1, Modest form over hurdles in 2021 when trained in Ireland. Since won several times on the Flat (all on the AW) for Seb Spencer. Well held in 2 starts in that sphere for new yard and no sure thing to build on his latest midfield effort back over hurdles at Perth 2 weeks ago. Well beaten on both AW starts for stable but ran okay when back over hurdles this month. |
|||
13th (9)  (20/1 -186%)George Mallory |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) George Mallory 20/1, Twice a runner-up prior to opening his account over hurdles in 9-runner Uttoxeter handicap (15.7f) last July. Absent since so market may prove a good guide as to expectations here. Clearcut winner at Uttoxeter on latest outing, but that was ten months ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not seen in action since getting off the mark in this sphere at Uttoxeter last July, GEORGE MALLORY could be the one to be with on his return. The eight-year-old is the only last-time-out winner in the field, and he may have enough to see off Callin Baton Rouge, who performed with some credit when second over further at Fontwell. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Bushmill Boy, Calevade and My Brother Jack.
A tricky selling handicap but TOSCAN GENIUS caught the eye on his qualifying run in a Sedgefield novice 3 weeks ago, noted finishing with running left and, going handicapping at a low level, he could be worth siding with to confirm the promise showed then. Last year's winner Calevade, Callin Baton Rouge and Ruler of The River are others to consider.
Philip Kirby's CLEAN GETAWAY went down fighting when second in this race last year and might go one better today.

(7)  (9/1 +0%)Kidman |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kidman 9/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who improved when second of 4 in novice at Newcastle (22f) in November 2022. After a further 16 months off, shaped as if retaining his ability when fourth in a Kelso maiden in March, so task is now to build on his latest effort sent handicapping. Shaped well at Kelso in March, after a long layoff; on workable mark for handicap debut. |
|||
(6)  (11/4 +45%)Our Laura B |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Our Laura B 11/4, Improved for the switch to handicapping, winning a pair of mares' events at Newcastle (both at 20.3f) last spring. Ran creditably on her return when fourth at Sedgefield early this month, before seeming stretched by the longer trip here (25.4f) 4 days ago. Shortlisted. Didn't run badly in 3m1f mares' race here on Saturday; could have a say. |
|||
1st (3)  (13/8 +60%)Imperial Data |
13/8(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Imperial Data 13/8, Irish point winner who improved after undergoing a wind op last season, winning a maiden hurdle at Kelso and back-to-back handicaps at Sedgefield (both at 19.8f). Ran well after 7 months off when fifth at Hexham 18 days ago and he's a contender with that run behind him. Won three times in the autumn and made pleasing reappearance this month. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/1 +9%)Hurricane Ali |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hurricane Ali 5/1, Went without a win last season but placed on four occasions. Shaped as if still in form when fifth of 7 at Doncaster (16.6f) on his final outing in December, so he's one to note as he drops back in grade on first run for yard after leaving John Mackie. Has fitness and stamina to prove but makes stable debut from a good mark. |
|||
3rd (8)  (9/1 +0%)Vocal Duke |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Vocal Duke 9/1, Back on-song when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle (17.2f) in October. Hasn't been able to repeat that effort in his 2 subsequent outings, fifth of 10 at Catterick on New Year's Day, but he's capable if on a going day as he goes up in trip. Regressive 8yo who is yet to add to his 2m1f course win two years ago; others preferred. |
|||
4th (5)  (8/1 +0%)Gastibelza |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gastibelza 8/1, Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner in France, leaving Gabriel Leenders after Fontainebleau claiming chase success (19.1f) in February. Let down by her jumping at Ludlow on her stable debut in April, but she's not written off back over hurdles at a left-handed track. Six-time winner in France; easily beaten in a match (over fences) on British debut. |
|||
5th (9)  (14/1 +44%)Be The Difference |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Be The Difference 14/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Ayr in November 2021 and held his form well for the remainder of that campaign. Absent for 26 months prior to the current season, failing to complete through no fault of his own at Perth 2 weeks ago. This run should reveal more. Had been absent for 26 months before coming to grief at Perth a fortnight ago. |
|||
6th (2)  (9/2 -29%)Tactical Affair |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tactical Affair 9/2, Winner of a Cork maiden on second start over hurdles when trained by Gordon Elliott. Not discredited on his stable debut when runner-up in novice at Warwick (16f) in March and he can leave behind a lesser effort now handicapping with tongue strap added. Major player. Ran well in defeat on stable debut in March and has been given a chance by the handicapper. |
|||
7th (4)  (13/2 +59%)Western Run |
13/2(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Western Run 13/2, It's now been twenty-five runs since his last win back in 2020. Reverted to hurdling after 8 months off, found less than looked likely when fifth of 11 in handicap at Perth (20.2f) in April. Continues to fall in the weights but others still preferred. Ran okay last month, after a layoff, but others have more persuasive profiles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A highly-progressive sort last year, IMPERIAL DATA returned from a 202-day absence with a decent effort at Hexham when staying on late in the day for fifth. That gave the distinct impression he would enjoy a step up in trip and he gets that opportunity now, with the unexposed Tactical Affair looking best placed to chase him home. Hurricane Ali and Our Laura B cannot be ruled out either.
TACTICAL AFFAIR may have disappointed at Ffos Las on his latest outing, but it remains early days for his current yard so he's well worth another chance upped to a trip that should suit as he makes his handicap debut. Imperial Data made an encouraging reappearance at Hexham 18 days ago and is respected, with Our Laura B also considered back down in distance.
This can go to IMPERIAL DATA (nap), who returned from a break with a satisfactory recent run and may now resume his autumn progress.

(8)  (9/2 +18%)Sean Og |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sean Og 9/2, Remains a maiden but will surely put that right soon enough judged on his last couple of efforts, third behind City Derby over C&D on Monday. Third when back hurdling here on Monday; has 9l to find with City Derby. |
|||
(5)  (15/2 +46%)Alqamar |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Alqamar 15/2, Three wins over 17f here in summer 2021 but out of luck since, first-time blinkers not rekindling him as required back from 8 months off here on Monday. Without a win since 2021 and well beaten here on Monday when 40-1. |
|||
(1)  (33/1 +0%)Accidental Rebel |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Accidental Rebel 33/1, Useful hurdler at best for Fergal O'Brien, winning 4 times from 6 starts in the 2022/23 campaign. However, absent for 14 months subsequently and has offered little in 2 Perth handicap hurdles for new stable this spring. Former Grade 2 winner but looks to have completely lost his way. |
|||
1st (9)  (8/15 +79%)City Derby |
8/15(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) City Derby 8/15, Gambled on from a reduced mark following a breathing operation and duly returned to form with his third near-miss over C&D in the space of a year on Monday (clear of Sean Og in third). Back to form following a wind operation when runner-up here on Monday. |
|||
2nd (7)  (9/2 -29%)Boomslang |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Boomslang 9/2, Fair hurdler who made a good return from a break when second of 6 over 23f at Hexham 18 days ago. Should be competitive back in handicap company. On a fair mark on best form but good ground seems the key to him; watch the weather. |
|||
3rd (3)  (11/2 +35%)Ilikedwayurthinkin |
11/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ilikedwayurthinkin 11/2, Useful winning handicap hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Has struggled for form over hurdles since coming to Britain but the headgear he often wore for his previous yard is back on for the first time since joining this stable. Market support would look significant. Seriously well handicapped on old form but very opposable on what he has been doing. |
|||
4th (2)  (18/1 -50%)Finisk River |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Finisk River 18/1, Scored 4 times around 2½m in 2022. Back to form from reduced mark when second of 7 at Bangor last September but disappointing in only 2 runs since. Others are more obvious. Dual course winner but an 11yo now and has become inconsistent. |
|||
5th (6)  (22/1 -144%)Court Dreaming |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Court Dreaming 22/1, Didn't appear to enjoy himself back chasing at Hexham this month but reached the frame in a couple of handicap hurdles at the end of 2023 and feasibly treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Needs good ground; on a useful mark if putting his best foot forward back over hurdles. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (22/1 -144%)Yukon |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Yukon 22/1, Fair maiden on Flat but struck at first time of asking over hurdles in maiden at Sedgefield in October 2022. Also second in a 17f handicap hurdle here a year ago but he ran poorly at Catterick when last seen in December. Yard's good record in this race provides some hope. Second at this meeting last year and heavy/soft ground hasn't suited since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN had excuses for being well beaten in this grade at Kelso earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 4lb for that effort. Ben Haslam's veteran lurks on an appealing mark and he gets the nod, with his main threat possibly being Boomslang, who finished second in a maiden hurdle at Hexham last time and could remain competitive back in the handicap ranks. Of the remainder, Finisk River makes the most appeal under Brian Hughes.
A chance is taken on the return of headgear sparking ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN back to life, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Boomslang is respected on the back of his second in a maiden at Hexham earlier this month, while Court Dreaming is still capable off this sort of mark if on a going day.
The 7yo YUKON wouldn't be suited by much rain but good to soft would be okay and he went close at this meeting 12 months ago.

(2)  (4/1 +11%)Sword Of Fate |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sword Of Fate 4/1, On a dangerous mark and returned to form with a big effort to finish second at Perth recently. Has won here in the past and looks the most appealing. Long in the tooth now but ran well at Perth a fortnight ago and is also suited by this C&D. |
|||
(5)  (5/1 +0%)Augharue |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Augharue 5/1, Good second of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f, good, 10/1) 19 days ago, just failing. Enters calculations for all that he's not the most consistent. Ran game race from the front when very close second at Sedgefield this month. |
|||
(4)  (17/2 +0%)Guillaume |
17/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Guillaume 17/2, Made the most of what ended up a good opportunity to get off the mark under Rules in 6-runner handicap chase at Catterick in December. Tame efforts both subsequent starts, so needs cheekpieces to perk him up. Has plausible excuses for both defeats since Catterick win in December; cheekpieces on. |
|||
(6)  (25/1 -14%)Gouet Des Bruyeres |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gouet Des Bruyeres 25/1, Three-time winner over fences but out of sorts when last seen and returns from 5 months off with something to prove. Ran okay on stable debut in November but absent since lesser effort in December. |
|||
1st (11)  (10/1 +29%)Melvich Bay |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Melvich Bay 10/1, Poor hurdler who hasn't been firing of late. Unexposed in this sphere (jumped better as race wore on on chase debut in February) and worthy of a market check despite being out of the weights. Stayed on for third on chase debut in February but needs more from out of the weights here. |

2nd (12)  (9/2 +78%)Robins Field |
9/2(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Robins Field 9/2, Filled runner-up spot 5 times over fences but hasn't shown his form for some time. Second in three chases at start of this year but form has dipped lately. |
|||
3rd (7)  (5/1 +38%)Contre Ordre |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Contre Ordre 5/1, Capitalised on a career-low mark to land 17f Sedgefield handicap chase in November. Has generally struggled since, but latest fifth (in first-time blinkers) at Perth was a more positive step. Has very mixed record since Sedgefield win in November but is 4lb lower now. |
|||
4th (9)  (4/1 +60%)Fathers Advice |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Fathers Advice 4/1, Runner-up 4 times over hurdles and found one too good on fourth attempt in this sphere at Newcastle in January. Respectable effort there since and not ruled out returning from a short break. 25-race maiden; not easy to enthuse over but went close over hurdles here last summer. |
|||
5th (8)  (11/4 +63%)Methusalar |
11/4(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Methusalar 11/4, Winner at Bangor for Alan King back in 2022 but struggled for present connections over both sets of obstacles in recent months. Becoming well treated. Recent hurdle run was a step back in the right direction; still makes only limited appeal. |
|||
6th (10)  (28/1 +0%)Barley Breeze |
28/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Barley Breeze 28/1, Some form in bumpers but has shown very little over obstacles, including for this yard. Has failed to complete his last four races; big leap of faith required to support him. |
|||
7th (3)  (7/1 -27%)Libby |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Libby 7/1, Fair form over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien and more encouragement for this yard the last twice, third of 4 at Perth a fortnight ago. Mark is becoming appealing and can't be ruled out. 0-5 over fences and 0-24 overall but seems to have been aided by a visor lately. |
|||
8th (1)  (10/1 +0%)Grand Soufle |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grand Soufle 10/1, Scored here in 2022 but he's not the easiest to train and failed to beat a rival over hurdles last time. Off 114 days since and worth monitoring in the betting switched to chasing. Seen only twice again since winning maiden hurdle here in August 2022; chase debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AUGHARUE had Libby (third) behind when only denied by a short head into second at Sedgefield last time and he is only 3lb higher for that display. Stuart Coltherd's seven-year-old could prove tough to beat if he runs to the level again. His main danger might be Sword Of Fate, who was beaten just over a length when attempting to make all over 2m4f at Perth on his latest outing and he should remain competitive off the same mark, while Guillaume is another to note.
SWORD OF FATE is handicapped to win and, having bounced back to form at Perth last time, he's fancied to add another C&D success to his record. Augharue is a danger if in the same form as last time and Grand Soufle is an interesting chasing debutant for a trainer that does well at his local track.
Ex-Irish maiden LIBBY seems to have been aided by a visor lately and might be ready to exploit her reduced mark.

1st (3)  (9/4 +36%)Kilta |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kilta 9/4, Showed much improved form to get off the mark on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, heavy) in March and shaped best when runner-up at Haydock next time. Very much caught the eye at Kelso last time and he's a respected chase newcomer despite racing from way out of the weights. Progressive over hurdles towards end of last season; 12lb wrong for chasing debut. |
|||
2nd (1)  (Evens -100%)Dreal Deal |
Evens(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dreal Deal Evens, Off the mark over fences at Down Royal in April and had plenty in hand when doubling his tally in a 7-runner novice chase at Wexford (16f, heavy) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Should take plenty of beating. Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2021 and a dual chase winner this spring; commands respect. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/2 -13%)Glynn |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Glynn 9/2, Evidently not easy to train but he was a fairly useful hurdler for Nicky Henderson. Point winner but was held when unseating late at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 53 days ago. Needs to step forward from that but at least is able to race from his actual mark. Just a respectable third over hurdles on stable debut and unseated rider on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Useful hurdler DREAL DEAL has found his stride over the larger obstacles of late and despite having to concede 19lb all round, John McConnell's gelding is hard to oppose. The way in which he travelled into contention at Wexford 11 days ago would suggest he has plenty more in the locker, and he's preferred to Glynn, who should be more streetwise having unseated on his fencing bow last month. Kilta can chase the pair home.
Irish raider DREAL DEAL impressed with the manner of his victory at Wexford last month and should prove up to successfully conceding weight all round here. Kilta made a really encouraging start to life in handicap hurdles and rates the main threat despite racing from out of the weights, although Glynn isn't fully ruled out on the pick of his hurdles form.
The most obvious answer is DREAL DEAL, who is 2-3 since returned to chasing this spring and did it pretty easily at Wexford last time.

(4)  (25/1 +0%)Buzzard Trix |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Buzzard Trix 25/1, Court Cave gelding. Brother to modest hurdler Laughing Trix, stays 25f. Dam unplaced in bumper. Off the mark at the third attempt between the flags but just a modest level of form when fifth on Rules debut in May 2022. Warmed up for this by beating sole finisher in a point recently. Won recent three-runner point but has much more to do here and is very inconsistent. |
|||
1st (1)  (Evens +28%)Gaboriot |
Evens(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gaboriot Evens, Won a pair of 3m handicaps in the autumn and regained the winning thread when easily landing a hunter at Catterick in March. Unseated in Foxhunters' at Aintree but quickly over that mishap when adding to tally over marathon trip at Cheltenham a month ago. Has to be of interest despite penalty. Four-time winner since finishing second in this race a year ago; ought to be hard to beat. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 +0%)Jerrysback |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jerrysback 7/2, Useful chaser who landed a couple of veterans' events in 2022 and shaped as if retaining ability after 18 months off in Catterick hunter in March. Confirmed that promise when successful at Hexham since, albeit it was nowhere near his best form. Kept on well to win at Hexham last month and has a significant role to play here. |
|||
3rd (8)  (13/2 +7%)Mario De Pail |
13/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mario De Pail 13/2, Encouraging signs first 2 starts for this yard following a 19-month absence but form has dipped badly since. This does at least represent a drop in class on hunter debut. Regressive in handicaps last season but could be dangerous at this easier level. |
|||
4th (7)  (66/1 +0%)Dressedforsuccess |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dressedforsuccess 66/1, All 5 wins under Rules have come at Cartmel. Pulled up on 3 of his last 4 starts. Multiple course winner in his prime but seems badly to have lost his way. |
|||
5th (6)  (50/1 -150%)Cash Again |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cash Again 50/1, Creditable effort on first start having left Ben Haslam when third at Hexham in September. That was his only run for Simon West and made the frame both starts in points since. Looks up against it. Has a bit to find on the figures with the princicpals but runs this track well; e-w claims. |
|||
6th (3)  (28/1 -75%)Amenon |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Amenon 28/1, Fair hurdler/chaser at best. Lost his way in Ireland but found a weak race to open his account in this sphere at Huntingdon last week. This asks for more. Recorded very slow time when winning three-runner race at Huntingdon last week. |
|||
7th (9)  (5/1 +17%)Windsor Avenue |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Windsor Avenue 5/1, Fairly useful chaser on his day and took a step back in the right direction when runner-up in hunter at Catterick (25tf, soft) in March. Never going in the Aintree Foxhunters' since but back in calmer waters, he finished placed at Kelso 3 weeks ago (in refitted blinkers). Second in two hunter chases in recent months but has become very inconsistent. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (18/1 -50%)Canelo |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Canelo 18/1, One-time smart handicapper but has been on the downgrade for some time and there have been no real signs of a revival in 4 starts since returning from a 15-month absence in December. Has left Ben Haslam. Won Hexham point by 9l for new connections this month but today's race is much tougher. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (50/1 -127%)You Name Him |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) You Name Him 50/1, Four-time hurdles winner at an ordinary level in 2022. Third both starts in points ahead of this hunter debut. Safely held when third in two minor points this month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GABORIOT arrives in better form than when filling the runner-up spot in this race 12 months ago, having won at Cheltenham recently. Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero's gelding must hold every chance, although the Hexham winner Jerrysback should give him plenty to think about. Amenon was on target at Huntingdon eight days ago and he is no back number, while Windsor Avenue must also enter calculations.
GABORIOT posted win number 4 since the autumn at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago and this versatile performer is fancied to successfully concede weight all round. Jerrysback probably didn't have much to beat at Hexham but he's still a huge threat, with Windsor Avenue also considered.
This looks another good opportunity for GABORIOT, who has made very good progress since finishing second in this event a year ago.

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.
