---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (5/2 +0%) Goguenard |
5/2(+0%) | (6) Goguenard 5/2, Well out of the weights but much improved after a year off when winning 9-runner event on handicap debut at Wetherby last week, outbattling runner-up. Races from lower mark this time despite a 7-lb penalty but is having second start back in quick succession after a long absence. May be affected by the bounce factor but has major claims if backing up his Wetherby win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (4/1 +43%) Beaumesnil |
4/1(+43%) | (2) Beaumesnil 4/1, Travelled smoothly before seemingly finding the heavy ground taking it's toll when fifth at Hexham in December but failed to build on that promise at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Looked a shade awkward there and blinkers now go on, though there remains a suspicion there's a bigger effort in him. This combination of drop in class and new headgear may prompt a turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (33/1 -32%) Moroccan Moon |
33/1(-32%) | (3) Moroccan Moon 33/1, Looked limited in bumpers and finished well held in a trio of novice hurdles. More needed. Holds weak claims on form and needs to find major improvement on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/1 +0%) Hubbel Bubbel |
16/1(+0%) | (5) Hubbel Bubbel 16/1, Showed a bit on first of 2 starts in bumpers and has also given a glimmer of encouragement in a trio of hurdle outings so far. May do better now handicapping. Difficult to assess with confidence but is a possible improver now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (10/11 -47%) Coco Kolada |
10/11(-47%) | (1) Coco Kolada 10/11, Much improved when making the frame on handicap debut at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and took another sizeable step forward to get off the mark at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy, 11/4) 10 days ago. Open to further improvement and he rates as the one to beat under a penalty. Irish hurdler who justified favouritism at Down Royal last week; should progress further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (28/1 +15%) Hollywood Harmon |
28/1(+15%) | (4) Hollywood Harmon 28/1, Unplaced completed starts in Irish points. Merely hinted at ability in maiden/novice hurdles under Rules and proved far too keen when pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (25.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Hood goes on. 0-4 in points and 0-4 over hurdles; however, may improve back down in distance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Goguenard sprung a surprise following a year-long absence when digging deep to score from out of the weights on his handicap bow at Wetherby last week and he warrants respect racing off a 4lb lower rating. However, COCO KOLADA was more taking when justifying strong market support at Down Royal two days earlier. There should be more to come and he is fancied to defy his penalty. Handicap debutant Hubbel Bubbel may fare best of the remainder.
An interesting race with Irish raider COCO KOLADA fancied to continue his progress in handicaps and get the better of the similarly-penalised Goguenard, who caused a surprise from a long way out of the weights at Wetherby last week. Beaumesnil disappointed last time but his penultimate effort was promising and he can take third.
Goguenard has a great chance provided his Wetherby form is repeated. Irish raider COCO KOLADA looks the strongest alternative.

Da Vinci Hand |
(3) (3/1 +25%)3/1(+25%) | (3) Da Vinci Hand 3/1, Seemingly not the force of old but did take a step back in the right direction from his reduced mark when runner-up at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to soft) in November. Stamina stretched tried in cheekpieces (now discarded) over 25.2f here last week and couldn't rule out back down in trip. Only a modest fifth in this race 12 months ago but is 18lb lower this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (8) (8/1 -78%) Onenightintown |
8/1(-78%) | (8) Onenightintown 8/1, Dual chase winner in 2022 and posted best effort of last year when third in a 7-runner C&D handicap towards the end of December (Zara's Universe and Ballynagran both behind). 1 lb lower now and he's a key player. Respectable third in similar event over C&D five weeks ago; strike-rate remains modest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (2/1 +20%) Kings Justice |
2/1(+20%) | (5) Kings Justice 2/1, Winless following 8 starts over hurdles but made it third time lucky in this sphere when narrowly prevailing in a C&D novices' handicap (good to soft) in December. 3 lb rise fair and should be in the mix. Respectable form in two C&D events since wearing cheekpieces, winning latest; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (6/1 +8%) Zara's Universe |
6/1(+8%) | (7) Zara's Universe 6/1, Took a couple of handicap chases last spring and, though out of sorts so far this season, she's dangerous to discount having slipped back to her last winning mark, and with Brian Hughes up for the first time. On last winning mark and has Brian Hughes up for first time; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 +14%) Master Breffni |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Master Breffni 12/1, More miss than hit over hurdles in Ireland and got no further than the second fence on recent chase/stable debut here. Ex-Irish maiden; early faller over C&D last week on stable/chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (12/1 +25%) Ballynagran |
12/1(+25%) | (4) Ballynagran 12/1, Notched second success when narrowly landing a Hexham handicap chase off this mark last May. However, he's none too consistent and has offered little in 4 subsequent starts. Now tried in blinkers. Scored off this mark last May; badly out of form since; new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (15/2 -7%) Rolling River |
15/2(-7%) | (6) Rolling River 15/2, Fair bumper winner but hasn't got close to that level over hurdles and hopes now pitched on this switch to fences sparking something new. Switch to chasing is a possible source of improvement for this southern raider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KINGS JUSTICE has proven a different proposition since being fitted with cheekpieces and Sam Allwood's gelding is fancied to supplement December's C&D victory by completing a double here. A 1lb drop in the ratings for finishing third over track and trip may see Onenightintown give the selection most to think about. Da Vinci Hand continues to slip down the weights and is always worth a look at this circuit.
With questions marks surrounding the majority of his rivals for one reason or another, KINGS JUSTICE looks the way to go. He was pulled up on his chase debut but hasn't looked back with cheekpieces enlisted over this C&D the last twice and remains on an appealing mark. Da Vinci Hand and Onenightintown may emerge as the main dangers.
The vote goes to KINGS JUSTICE (nap), who is open to further progress in the retained headgear. Zara's Universe is second choice.

1st (2) (9/4 -13%) Maasai Mara |
9/4(-13%) | (2) Maasai Mara 9/4, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m) for the Gosdens. Encouraging start to his hurdle career when second of 6 in juvenile at Hereford (2m, soft) 29 days ago. Leading claims with improvement on the cards. Dual Flat scorer; promising clear second at Hereford on the switch to hurdles; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/5 +57%) Golden Maverick |
4/5(+57%) | (1) Golden Maverick 4/5, Fairly useful 5-time winner on the Flat (stays 14.5f) for Ian Williams. New connections acquired him for 100,000 gns in the autumn. Interesting hurdle newcomer. Fairly useful on Flat for Ian Williams; sold for 100,000gns since last run; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 +29%) Mandega |
10/1(+29%) | (3) Mandega 10/1, Fair Flat winner. Best effort over hurdles when 15 lengths second over C&D just before Christmas but plenty more will be needed if he's to go one better now. Something to find on British form; no match for the winner here most recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (12/1 -167%) Mr Le Philosophe |
12/1(-167%) | (4) Mr Le Philosophe 12/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France (stays 1½m), winning 2 handicaps in 2023. Sold from Mikel Delzangles for €70,000 (privately) in November. Another hurdle newcomer in this line-up to monitor in the betting. Two Flat wins in France; sold for 70,000euros since last run; interesting recruit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 -250%) Love True |
14/1(-250%) | (7) Love True 14/1, Fairly useful Flat winner at up to 13f in France. Shaped promisingly when third of 10 on her Doncaster hurdle debut just after Christmas. Can be expected to improve. Ex-French filly; placed at Doncaster on hurdles debut; may build on that effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (66/1 -32%) Expert Lady |
66/1(-32%) | (6) Expert Lady 66/1, Down the field in varied events on Flat and poor form in a pair of C&D juveniles in recent weeks (remote third first occasion). Minor form on Flat; similar story in two juvenile hurdles at this venue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (200/1 -506%) Breadalbane Lass |
200/1(-506%) | (5) Breadalbane Lass 200/1, Telescope filly who showed ability when sixth in a Newcastle bumper in December but not enough to suggest she's likely to make a successful start to her hurdle career here. Showed some promise in Newcastle bumper but needs to improve. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Useful Flat performer MAASAI MARA will have learned plenty from his hurdles bow when second at Hereford last month. That experience should stand him in good stead, which may be enough to give him the edge over Golden Maverick. Jamie Snowden's charge has also proven a capable sort on the level and he isn't taken lightly now tackling obstacles for the first time. Mr Le Philosophe and Love True warrant a second look too.
An interesting juvenile, with a few of these well above average on the Flat. Of those MAASAI MARA and Love True have hurdle experience and might be the pair to focus on, with the former preferred on the back of his Hereford second. Golden Maverick and Mr Le Philosophe would rate dangers if the betting suggests they are fancied.
Triumph entries MAASAI MARA, Golden Maverick and Mr Le Philosophe line up for an intriguing clash.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (9/2 -29%) Treaty Boy |
9/2(-29%) | (1) Treaty Boy 9/2, Hasn't pulled up any trees in a trio of novice hurdles but he was placed both starts between the flags and may well be seen in a better light now switched to fences in a first-time tongue strap. Showed promise in Irish points and looks open to improvement on handicap/chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +40%) Fearless Action |
3/1(+40%) | (3) Fearless Action 3/1, Responded well to cheekpieces when opening his account in 9-runner handicap chase at Kelso (17f, heavy). Hasn't managed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, though, and has undergone another wind op since his latest appearance. Error-prone; spoiled his chance with a bad mistake two out over C&D last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +36%) Melvich Bay |
9/2(+36%) | (5) Melvich Bay 9/2, Running creditably when brought down in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last summer and wasn't disgraced when third of 7 back from a break at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. However, she'll need to jump with more fluency now tackling fences if she's to play a leading role here. First win looks possible, provided she takes well to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (28/1 -12%) Halfway House Lad |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Halfway House Lad 28/1, Well held all completed starts over hurdles and similar story both attempts in this sphere, latterly finishing a distant last of 2 finishers at Newcastle. Best to look elsewhere. Continues to achieve little, most recently a remote second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (17/2 -113%) Berliet Express |
17/2(-113%) | (4) Berliet Express 17/2, Dual hurdles winner in Ireland and while his record stands at 0-11 in this sphere, he has slipped to a handy mark and posted his best effort for present yard when third at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft) last month. Likely to be involved. 0-22 as a chaser but has possibilities off current mark with Brian Hughes up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (5/2 -25%) Moore Clouds |
5/2(-25%) | (2) Moore Clouds 5/2, Opened chase account at Market Rasen last summer and doubled her tally at Sedgefield (17f, soft) on Boxing Day. Nudged up just 1 lb and she looks nailed-on for another bold show. Fortunate to win at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and looks no certainty to follow up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (12/1 -20%) Coeur Aimant |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Coeur Aimant 12/1, Some decent bits and pieces of form to his name over hurdles but he has made an underwhelming start in this sphere and is now 0-19 overall. Longstanding maiden but has become well treated on best hurdles efforts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The vote goes to MOORE CLOUDS. Andrew Wilson's mare is just 1lb higher than when winning at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and with forecast ground conditions unlikely to be a hindrance, she looks to have been found a good opportunity. Treaty Boy didn't show much in three novice hurdles last year, but he might fare better switched to fences and with a first-time tongue-tie applied. Melvich Bay heads the remainder.
The most solid option is MOORE CLOUDS, who has won two of her last four starts and she has only gone up 1 lb for her latest success at Sedgefield. Berliet Express will be a threat if able to build on his latest Market Rasen effort, which was much his best since coming over from Ireland, and Treaty Boy could also be a factor on his chase debut.
Off a reduced mark and with Brian Hughes booked, BERLIET EXPRESS may finally open his chase account. Treaty Boy is second choice.

1st (3) (6/5 +40%) Shighness |
6/5(+40%) | (3) Shighness 6/5, Consistent performer over hurdles last term and bettered previous efforts over fences when runner-up at Wetherby last time. Still room for improvement in jumping, so could up her game again. Clear second at Wetherby most recently, doing her best work at finish; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (9/4 -38%) Eureka Creek |
9/4(-38%) | (1) Eureka Creek 9/4, Winning hurdler/chaser who produced another solid display when third in mares' handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f) 7 weeks ago, giving best only late on behind a less exposed pair. Leading claims in these calmer waters if she stays. Emma Lavelle's first runner at Catterick; ran well in deeper field at Cheltenham last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (22/1 +12%) West Lawn |
22/1(+12%) | (4) West Lawn 22/1, Winning pointer and successful twice over hurdles at Hexham in 2022. Has looked very limited over fences, though, and he's a long way out of the weights. Modest mare who is well out of the weights; easily the least likely winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3/1 -60%) Eleanor Bob |
3/1(-60%) | (2) Eleanor Bob 3/1, Much improved when bagging pair of small field mares' handicap chases early in 2022 and showed she retains all of her ability back from a lengthy absence when 4¼ lengths fourth of 10 at Haydock in November. Disappointing next time but this looks easier. Ran poorly on latest outing but may rebound in this smaller field back down in grade. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ELEANOR BOB was well below par in the Tommy Whittle at Haydock, having been well supported, but it would come as no surprise were Venetia Williams' charge to bounce back in these calmer waters. Eureka Creek weakened into third over an extended 2m4f at Cheltenham, but earlier indications gave the impression this longer trip would suit. She looks the most likely threat, although Shighness shouldn't be underestimated following an encouraging second at Wetherby.
EUREKA CREEK is nicely handicapped and took a firm step back in the right direction when third at Cheltenham 49 days ago, so she's worth siding with in this less competitive scenario, with the step back up in trip unlikely to pose a problem. Shighness is the main danger although Eleanor Bob should take a hand if she can put a poor run behind her.
Back in calmer waters, EUREKA CREEK looks poised to regain the winning thread. Shighness is feared most.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) (7/1 -17%) Champ Royal |
7/1(-17%) | (4) Champ Royal 7/1, Looked better than ever when making a winning start for this yard at Hexham in October and got back on the up with a likeable display to score at Musselburgh 46 days ago. Well respected. 5lb rise for Musselburgh win is offset by Edward Austin's handy claim. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/8 +66%) Shantou Moon |
11/8(+66%) | (6) Shantou Moon 11/8, 15/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 22 days ago, readily. Seems to be getting his act together and looks worth a chance to follow up. Commands respect, having bounced back to form in C&D event last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 +18%) Not Staying Long |
18/1(+18%) | (5) Not Staying Long 18/1, Won 3-runner novice hurdle over C&D a year ago on final run for Patrick Neville. Much better effort for current stable when fourth in handicap at Newcastle last time but mark demands more. Return to Catterick is a plus but the forecast deep ground is a negative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/1 -82%) Guernesey |
10/1(-82%) | (2) Guernesey 10/1, Showed he retains plenty of ability on his first outing for this yard after 7 months off when second at Kelso (25.8f) in November. Just respectable efforts since but this sort of test should suit. Still unexposed at this sort of distance and is an interesting contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (4/1 +38%) Balkotic |
4/1(+38%) | (7) Balkotic 4/1, Ended last term in good form, scoring at Hexham/over C&D. Solid efforts at this track the last twice and is well capable from this sort of mark. Has a solid record over C&D and in visor; likely to go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (13/2 -117%) Sam's Choice |
13/2(-117%) | (1) Sam's Choice 13/2, Won a Leopardstown handicap (20f) for Gordon Elliott last season but yet to fire for current yard. Edging down the weights and cheekpieces could help. Shapes as if this longer trip will suit on third start for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (15/2 -150%) Danny The Fence |
15/2(-150%) | (3) Danny The Fence 15/2, Winner in hurdle at Fairyhouse in November. 13/2, shaped as if still in form when sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22.9f, soft) 18 days ago, best work finish. Could make his presence felt in this less competitive event. Irish hurdler who gives the impression he'll be suited by this extra distance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SHANTOU MOON looked value for more than the winning margin when scoring over C&D last time out, and a 5lb higher mark shouldn't inconvenience him as he aims to follow up. The seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of Balkotic and Champ Royal, who has been a revelation since joining Susan Corbett and could improve for going up in trip after winning over just short of three miles at Musselburgh.
SHANTOU MOON had a good deal in hand when scoring over C&D last time and is well worth a chance to go in again. Fellow last-time-out winner Champ Royal is a danger and Danny The Fence is a notable Irish challenger.
The suggestion is SAM'S CHOICE, ahead of Guernesey, in an open contest.

1st (1) (10/11 +0%) Letthedustsettle |
10/11(+0%) | (1) Letthedustsettle 10/11, Winning pointer who came good over hurdles in C&D handicap 9 days ago. Did that comfortably and looks sure to make a bold bid to defy his 7 lb penalty. Comfortable win over C&D last week; penalty is offset by Cameron Iles's useful 7lb claim. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (22/1 +12%) Wotyoudunnow Buddy |
22/1(+12%) | (4) Wotyoudunnow Buddy 22/1, Showed fair form on the second of 3 outings in bumpers. Little impact in novice hurdles but handicaps provide him with a more realistic chance. Blinkered first time. Far from solid on hurdles form but is a possible improver now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (11/2 +27%) Lenebane |
11/2(+27%) | (2) Lenebane 11/2, Got back on track when fifth of 11 at Doncaster (16.5f, good) in November but not in quite the same form when filling the same position at Musselburgh since. Maiden who may be competitive off current mark and with William Maggs claiming 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 -9%) Belle Na Bann |
3/1(-9%) | (3) Belle Na Bann 3/1, Dual winner for Neil Mulholland in summer 2022 and back on track for Micky Hammond when scoring at Newcastle and over C&D around the turn of the year. Likely to go well on hat-trick bid. Registered heavy-ground wins the last twice, latest over C&D; has to be feared. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (7/1 +42%) Bleue Verte |
7/1(+42%) | (5) Bleue Verte 7/1, Showed ability when fifth on sole outing in France. Well beaten in maiden/novice hurdles on first 2 starts for this yard but shaped better than the result when fifth of 15 on her 19.5f Hereford handicap hurdle debut 18 days ago, leading for long way. Drop back in trip may help. Failed to get home over 2m3f last time; open to improvement back down in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BELLE NA BANN continues to go from strength to strength and the hat-trick looks very much on the cards following a comfortable success over C&D on New Year's Day. Emma Smith-Chaston's 3lb claim continues to be a plus, and the Micky Hammond-trained mare should have too much for Lenebane and Letthedustsettle, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for an easy victory over track and trip last week.
LETTHEDUSTSETTLE won nicely over C&D last week and his 7 lb penalty is offset by Cameron Iles' claim so he could take a bit of stopping if coping with the quick turnaround. The hat-trick seeking Belle Na Bann may give him most to do ahead of Bleue Verte, who was better than the result on her recent handicap debut.
Unexposed LETTHEDUSTSETTLE is taken to complete a quickfire Catterick double. Belle Na Bann is feared most.

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.
