1st (7)  (3/1 -50%)Livin On Luco |
3/1(-50%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Livin On Luco 3/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and showed promise when a close second at this C&D on Rules debut. in November. Likely to have been placed but for departing 3 out back here 16 days later and he's a leading player again. Close second over C&D on rules debut in November and a major player today. |
|||
2nd (5)  (11/8 +31%)Ilfu Un Mome |
11/8(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ilfu Un Mome 11/8, £40,000 3-y-o, Balko gelding. Dam maiden on Flat/failed to complete sole start over fences in France. Won sole start in Irish points (November 4) and of obvious interest on his Rules bow. Left clear to win soft-ground Irish point in November; with top stable for rules career. |
|||
3rd (4)  (10/1 -67%)Guard The Moon |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Guard The Moon 10/1, Showed ability in Newbury bumper on debut and improved from that effort when recording back-to-back wins at Bangor in December. One to consider as he makes the switch to hurdling. Won two run-of-the-mill Bangor bumpers last month; should have a future over jumps. |
|||
4th (8)  (15/2 +25%)The Village Way |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Village Way 15/2, Runner-up both starts in Irish points and clear of the rest when second at Wetherby (2m) on his hurdling bow. In first-time tongue tie, found the test too much when pulled up at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) in December, but he still remains with potential. Pulled up at Hexham last month but can still build upon promising rules debut. |
|||
5th (6)  (33/1 -65%)Isocrate |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Isocrate 33/1, Finished fourth all 3 starts in Irish points and hinted at ability when fifth of 12 in bumper at this course last March. Bred to stay well so this longer trip should suit as he starts off over hurdles. Fifth in what turned out to be a good course bumper last March but not seen again since. |
|||
6th (10)  (40/1 -100%)Saint Bibiana |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Saint Bibiana 40/1, Fair bumper winner for Kim Bailey but, having attracted support (10/3) after 7 months off, could only finish fifth of 7 in maiden at Uttoxeter (19.9f) on her stable/hurdles debut in November. Has something to find. Bumper winner last winter; make rather underwhelming hurdle debut in November. |
|||
7th (2)  (10/3 +33%)Denemethy |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Denemethy 10/3, Irish point winner at the fourth attempt and, having been well supported (6/4), produced an encouraging first effort under Rules when second to a good prospect in bumper at Carlisle 80 days ago. Shortlisted on his hurdles debut. Irish point winner; second on bumper debut in November; looks a good hurdling prospect. |
|||
8th (3)  (100/1 -203%)Grand Escaparde |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grand Escaparde 100/1, Failed to beat a rival in bumper and looked a hard ride when mid-field in novice at Warwick (19f) on hurdles debut. Beaten further back at the same course (21f) last time, so he needs to leave those efforts behind having had another wind op. Not disgraced on hurdle debut but his next run was a backward step. |
|||
9th (9)  (200/1 -900%)Valfortore |
200/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Valfortore 200/1, Made same appeal on paper and was prominent in the market (4/1) but offered little on debut when well-beaten sixth of 8 in bumper at Exeter 23 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward as he makes a quick switch to hurdling. Struggled in a recent Exeter bumper; probably best watched on hurdling debut. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (250/1 -279%)Cool View |
250/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cool View 250/1, Bred to stay well and was held back by inexperience when well held in bumper at Exeter on debut. However, after 11 months off he was beaten a long way out when pulled up at the same course (18.5f) on his hurdles bow on New Year's Day. Pulled up when 250-1 for recent hurdle debut at Exeter. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Denemethy is of interest if judged on his Irish point win but LIVIN ON LUCO went close over C&D on his hurdling debut is preferred.

(3)  (5/1 -67%)Gentleman's Relish |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gentleman's Relish 5/1, Much improved when winning a 13-runner Newbury bumper in November but failed to justify favouritism when pulled up in a Kempton novice hurdle on his first go over timber 29 days ago. Remains an interesting prospect, with longer trip likely to suit. Made all for Newbury bumper win but pulled up on hurdle debut at Kempton (favourite). |
|||
1st (4)  (9/1 -80%)House Of Stories |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) House Of Stories 9/1, Won a point in May 2021. It took a long time for new connections to get him to the track but he shaped with promise when second of 5 in a 2½m Ffos Las novice hurdle last month. Entitled to progress. Won Irish point in May 2021; off until creditable 2nd to hotpot last month (2m4f, heavy). |
|||
3rd (2)  (10/1 +0%)Doyen Quest |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Doyen Quest 10/1, Made a successful bumper debut for new stable at Ffos Las in November. Wasn't disgraced when sixth of 15 starting out over hurdles at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) last time but will need to step up on that if he's to get competitive here. Ready bumper win after absence in October; weak finisher since, including on hurdle debut. |
|||
4th (6)  (4/1 +20%)Magical Escape |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Magical Escape 4/1, Proved a different proposition second time over hurdles when finishing a clear second in a 13-runner novice over C&D last month. Dislikeable effort at Ludlow next time though, racing lazily and jumping without fluency, so bounce back is called for. Good claims on C&D second in December but didn't run much of a race at Ludlow since. |
|||
5th (7)  (8/11 +64%)Marvellous Mick |
8/11(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Marvellous Mick 8/11, Cost six figures as a store and looked a fine prospect when justifying short-priced favouritism in a bumper here in December 2022. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on return from 13 months off in a listed contest at Ascot last month and he makes plenty of appeal sent hurdling. Won bumper here on debut; down the field after layoff latest; improve now hurdling. |
|||
6th (9)  (33/1 -65%)Totowolfe |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Totowolfe 33/1, Off mark in Irish points at third attempt. Shaped as if he'd be better for the run when fifth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) on Rules debut last month, finishing tired. Improvement likely but significant step forward is required. Winner of 3rd Irish point; back from layoff when well held on hurdle debut; 2m3f can suit. |
|||
|F| (1)  (9/2 +36%)Broughshane |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Broughshane 9/2, Successful on sole start in Irish points and well backed prior to running out approaching home turn at Ascot on hurdles debut. After 13 months off, ran well for a long way when third over C&D 28 days ago, so he's a player with his recent run behind him. Good winner of sole Irish point; ducked out on hurdle debut; needed run latest; improve. |
|||
|DQ| (5)  (100/1 -203%)Mad Mike |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mad Mike 100/1, Badly needed experience in sole bumper and has made no impact in a pair of Exeter novice hurdles, including in blinkers last time. Some ability in a bumper; pulled up and well beaten in two hurdle starts. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (250/1 -279%)Radharc Na Slaine |
250/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Radharc Na Slaine 250/1, Maiden Irish pointer who has shown little in a pair of Hereford novice hurdles this winter. Big step forward is required. Promise in Irish points; nothing doing over hurdles so far; handicaps the way forward. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Hurdle newcomer MARVELLOUS MICK showed plenty pf ability when winning a course bumper and this test looks sure to suit.

(2)  (11/1 -83%)Farmer's Gamble |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Farmer's Gamble 11/1, Back to winning ways in 23f handicap hurdle at Exeter in February. In the process of showing better form on second chase outing when falling at Uttoxeter a couple of months ago. Has been given time to recover and has potential. Three hurdle wins at up to 3m; failed to complete in two chases; best watched for now. |
|||
1st (3)  (5/1 +38%)Bells Of Peterboro |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bells Of Peterboro 5/1, Generally consistent sort so, while he hasn't fired over hurdles on last two starts, this return to the larger obstacles is in his favour. Two course hurdle wins; not at best of late; returns to fences with something to prove. |
|||
2nd (5)  (9/2 +25%)Great Name That |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Great Name That 9/2, Winner of sole start between the flags and has developed a solid record under Rules. Good second in handicap chase at Wincanton last time but others look better treated. Has course form; ran up against well-treated one on 2nd chase start; may well improve. |
|||
3rd (6)  (12/1 -100%)So Said I |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) So Said I 12/1, Lightly-raced in recent seasons but did show aptitude for this job when second of 4 in Wincanton mares' handicap (20f) on Boxing Day, proving no match for the winner. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more. Three hurdle wins at about 3m; ran well for a long way on chase debut over 2m4f. |
|||
|F| (1)  (9/4 +44%)Pulling Stumps |
9/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pulling Stumps 9/4, Progressive hurdler who built on chase bow/return when good second at Newbury 5 weeks ago, unlucky to bump into one as progressive as Brave Kingdom. Open to further improvement so must enter calculations. Low-key chase debut after absence but promising 2nd over 2m7f since; has more to come. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (3/1 -20%)James Jet |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) James Jet 3/1, Winning pointer who was progressive over hurdles, making a winning handicap bow at Uttoxeter on return. Took a much bigger leap forward switched to chasing when narrow winner at Ffos Las (idled) and step up to 3m will suit. Leading contender. Won handicaps over hurdles and on chase debut (about 2m5f; heavy); more to come up in trip. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (13/2 +19%)Rath Gaul Hill |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rath Gaul Hill 13/2, Narrowly denied on sole start in Irish point and went one better on hurdling debut at Ffos Las last year. Back on track making handicap debut after 9 months off at Doncaster and shaped well having been poorly placed on chasing debut at Uttoxeter. Close 2nd in 3m Irish point; sole win in 2m hurdle; close up over 2m4f on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
It was a good race in which PULLING STUMPS went down fighting at Newbury and there's no doubt more to come from him.

1st (7)  (50/1 +0%)Valens Bruyee |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Valens Bruyee 50/1, Didn't shape at all badly when fourth of 7 on debut in Ffos Las bumper but there have not been any positives to take from his efforts over hurdles thus far (bled here latest). Close fourth on bumper debut but dropped out tamely in two subsequent novice hurdles. |
|||
2nd (5)  (33/1 +34%)Senor Diaz |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Senor Diaz 33/1, Showed a bit when third of 6 only start in bumpers but well held completed outing over hurdles. Never in contention when midfield in Exeter maiden last month; improvement needed. |
|||
3rd (8)  (1/4 +69%)Kourosh |
1/4(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kourosh 1/4, Fair winner on Flat in Germany who bolted up on his Wetherby hurdle debut in November. Fell at Cheltenham next time but firmly expected to get back to winning ways now fitted with tongue tie. Has quickly developed into a useful juvenile hurdler; sets the standard here. |
|||
4th (3)  (28/1 +15%)Nedzor |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Nedzor 28/1, Runner-up in a point and had a wind op before posting an encouraging third of 7 in novice hurdle over C&D. Underperformed at Exeter since and has plenty to find. Did not achieve a huge amount when third over C&D in October; well beaten since. |
|||
5th (4)  (66/1 -32%)Owl Of Athens |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Owl Of Athens 66/1, 33/1, showed ability when midfield in 14-runner Taunton novice on hurdling debut but failed to back it up at the same track. Looks more one for the longer term. Not beaten far on last month's hurdle debut but latest run was a backward step. |
|||
6th (2)  (66/1 -32%)Gentleman |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gentleman 66/1, Hinted at ability here on hurdling debut but yet to build on it. Hard to make a case for. Well beaten in a course bumper in October and on both subsequent hurdling starts. |
|||
7th (9)  (150/1 -127%)Dora's Addrezz |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dora's Addrezz 150/1, Offered little tongue tied in a Newton Abbot bumper on only outing for Brian Barr and poor efforts to date over hurdles. Hard to fancy. Pulled up when 250-1 for Hereford maiden hurdle three weeks ago. |
|||
8th (1)  (40/1 -21%)Bahio Boum |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bahio Boum 40/1, Shaped with encouragement when third of 8 in bumper at Worcester on debut in September. However, no show since and he'll probably make a bigger impact in handicaps. Unable to land a telling blow in two soft-groud maiden hurdles this winter. |
|||
9th (11)  (80/1 -60%)Spice Heaven |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Spice Heaven 80/1, Didn't show much in a couple of bumpers for Jamie Snowden. Hood enlisted for this debut for new yard/hurdles bow. Well down the field in two bumpers for Jamie Snowden last season; now with new stable. |
|||
|F| (12)  (4/1 +60%)Glorious Lion |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Glorious Lion 4/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Notable hurdling newcomer having joined shrewd stable. Fair on the Flat (albeit a maiden) and has joined up-and-coming stable for rules career. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (11/1 -69%)Meadowsuite |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Meadowsuite 11/1, From a good family but shaped as if amiss in a bumper at Newbury 10 months ago. Could prove a different proposition on hurdling debut if trainer has got to the bottom of the issue (has had breathing op). Not seen since flopping on last season's bumper debut but represents a top stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Dan Skelton's juvenile KOUROSH has made a very promising start to his hurdling career and is the one to beat.

1st (4)  (11/10 +45%)Lowry's Bar |
11/10(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lowry's Bar 11/10, Irish point winner who readily maintained his unbeaten record over hurdles when going 3-3 in 5-runner handicap at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 36 days ago. Has more to offer, especially now stepped up in trip. Leading claims. 3-3 under rules and promises to be suited by today's step up in trip; commands respect. |
|||
2nd (5)  (5/1 +17%)Uncle Bert |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Uncle Bert 5/1, Resumed with victory in 2m4f Perth handicap in September before creditable fourth in Silver Trophy. Not disgraced when fifth at Newbury in early December but ran poorly when pulled up here 4 weeks ago. Bounce back needed. Won in good style on seasonal/handicap debut but has not really kicked on from that. |
|||
3rd (7)  (15/8 +37%)Minella Blueway |
15/8(+37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Minella Blueway 15/8, Winning Irish pointer who confirmed previous promise under Rules when easily opening his account in a 14-runner C&D maiden 4 weeks ago. Heads into handicaps now and open to further improvement. Drew nicely clear to win C&D maiden last month; open to more improvement in handicaps. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/1 +18%)Espoir De Romay |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Espoir De Romay 9/1, Very capable sort who has been lightly raced in recent seasons. Offered more than on his return when seventh of 12 in a strong race at Newbury (3m) the start of last month and has been dropped 2 lb. Arguably run better than 19l defeat suggests last time but others appeal more all the same. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Unbeaten under rules after three runs at around 2m, LOWRY'S BAR (nap) ought to be seen to even better effect over today's longer trip.

1st (8)  (7/2 +53%)Kingofthewest |
7/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kingofthewest 7/2, Dual winner over hurdles who acquitted himself well on his first two starts over the larger obstacles but came in a tame fourth at Wincanton last time. Needs to get back on track with cheekpieces refitted. Not at best last time but has made the frame in all three chases and enters calculations. |
|||
2nd (9)  (12/1 -85%)Walkinthewoods |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Walkinthewoods 12/1, Off the mark over timber at this track (2m) in October 2022 and doubled his tally at Ffos Las in May. Narrowly denied on first 2 starts back this term (including at Ffos Las on chase bow last month) but last couple of runs have been poor. Modest the last twice but strong claims if judged on Ffos Las second in November. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/4 +65%)Rock Of Star |
9/4(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rock Of Star 9/4, Brought the curtain down on last season's campaign with back-to-back wins in 23.6f handicaps here. Has gone backwards from his reappearance this term, though. Won twice over 2m7f here at end of last season but needs to better his recent efforts. |
|||
4th (2)  (14/1 -180%)Moonlighter |
14/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Moonlighter 14/1, C&D winner. 13/8, creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Looks the most solid proposition in a thin race. Not the force of old but won over C&D last season and could give this a good shot. |
|||
5th (10)  (10/1 +70%)Valirann Gold |
10/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Valirann Gold 10/1, Turned in his best effort of the season when second of 7 at Fontwell (17.8f, soft) 29 days ago. Has a job on from out of the weights, though. Stayed on from poor position for second at Fontwell last month; 13lb wrong here, though. |
|||
6th (3)  (11/4 +17%)Hermes Du Gouet |
11/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hermes Du Gouet 11/4, Point winner who was much improved when making all in 2m Exeter novice hurdle last January. Failed to kick on after 7 months off when fifth in handicap chase there on his return but not written off. Engaged 3.20 Leicester Tuesday. Made low-key seasonal/chase debut but could still have a good future over fences. |
|||
7th (5)  (28/1 -100%)Skinflint |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Skinflint 28/1, Dual winner here last season (including over C&D) so, while he returned with a tame effort at Taunton 41 days ago, he's not one to completely write off. Made low-key reappearance last month but was a dual course winner last season; a possible. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (16/1 -78%)Kings Keeper |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kings Keeper 16/1, Irish import who made a good start for this yard in 2022/23, placing twice prior to scoring in decisive fashion over hurdles at Ffos Las. Looked rusty back over fences on return in November and no surprise to see an improved showing here. Not seen since low-key seasonal debut in November but remains unexposed over fences. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (28/1 -367%)I Shut That D'or |
28/1(-367%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) I Shut That D'or 28/1, Fairly useful course winner over hurdles who shaped as if better for the run when third of 4 on chase debut at Fontwell in October. Has failed to complete on both subsequent outings, though. Didn't run badly on seasonal/chase debut but two non-completions have followed. |

MOONLIGHTER was a beaten favourite when third at Lingfield last time, but that was only his second start of the season and the veteran can be given another chance off a 2lb lower mark. I Shut That D'or also failed to fire when well backed on his most recent outing, at Wincanton on Boxing Day, but he should not be underestimated. Kings Keeper and Skinflint are noted too.
MOONLIGHTER is well treated and arrives on the back of a creditable run at Lingfield, so he makes most appeal for all that there are always slight reservations in regard to his jumping. Hermes du Gouet is unexposed and capable of better, while Skinflint shouldn't be dismissed returning to a track that suits him.
He has a point to prove but WALKINTHEWOODS will be hard to beat if able to match the form of his clear second at Ffos Las in November.

(17)  (18/1 -13%)Inchester D'amsyl |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Inchester D'amsyl 18/1, Maiden who showed a bit first 2 starts in novice hurdles. Yet to kick on in handicaps but shaped as if better for the run following 5 months off when fifth at Exeter (21.6f) 5 weeks ago. Should have more to offer. Soundly beaten in first two handicaps but last month's Exeter fifth was more encouraging. |

1st (18)  (9/4 +44%)Mumbles |
9/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Mumbles 9/4, Gradual improver in handicaps, running his best race yet when hitting the crossbar at Ffos Las (2½m, heavy) last time. Pulled clear of the third (who has scored twice since) that day and he's a lively candidate up 2 lb. Clear second to a three-time subsequent winner at Ffos Las in November; one to consider. |
|||
2nd (4)  (4/1 +0%)Accidental Legend |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Accidental Legend 4/1, Won 3 on the bounce at around 2½m last winter and, having slipped below his last winning mark, bounced back to form to justify support at Uttoxeter (19.9f) 33 days ago, staying on well. Possibilities from 6 lb higher. Displayed sudden return to form and rewarded heavy market support at Uttoxeter last month. |
|||
3rd (11)  (40/1 -150%)Breizh Alko |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Breizh Alko 40/1, Veteran who has an all-or-nothing profile, seeing off his 6 rivals in game fashion at Southwell (24.3f, soft) in March before running poorly when pulled up at Uttoxeter 12 days later. Off 9 months and others make greater appeal on balance. Dug deep to win off this mark last March but absent since pulled up 12 days later. |
|||
4th (1)  (12/1 -20%)God's Own Getaway |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) God's Own Getaway 12/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who caught the eye with ground he made up when third in a Warwick novice (19f) in November. Failed to confirm that promise on handicap bow at Wincanton since but it remains early days and application of cheekpieces may help now. Disappointed on recent handicap debut but probably still has potential. |
|||
|PU| (15)  (8/1 +50%)He's My Shadow |
8/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) He's My Shadow 8/1, Placed in points and showed something to work on in novice/maiden hurdles during first half of last year. Absent since finishing fourth of 7 in handicap at Stratford (2m) in June but returns with yard amongst the winners and not one to write off. Has fitness to prove after a layoff but ran big race in C&D novice last March; interesting. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (11/2 +31%)Deerstalker |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Deerstalker 11/2, Well held only start in bumpers but better for hurdles debut experience when fourth in a Plumpton novice (15.9f) 37 days ago, shaping better than distance beaten suggests in the process. Likely there's more to come now handicapping. Shaped with significant promise in 2m Plumpton novice last month; handicap debut today. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (11/1 +56%)Champagne Rhythm |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Champagne Rhythm 11/1, C&D maiden hurdle winner in February 2021 but hasn't really threatened since over hurdles or fences. Cheekpieces on for first time. C&D winner; has a lot to prove but is very well handicapped; cheekpieces tried. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (15/2 -7%)Danton |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Danton 15/2, Looked on the up when scoring at Exeter in November but lost action when pulled up in handicap hurdle there (21.6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Worth another chance. Opened account in November and had excuse when pulled up last month; remains of interest. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (16/1 +20%)Inion Tiogair |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Inion Tiogair 16/1, Fair bumper winner last season who hasn't gone without promise in trio of novice/maiden hurdles at around 2m during second half of last year. Out of a 3m winner herself so this increase in trip could well help now attentions switch to handicaps. Began hurdling career with three fairly encouraging 2m runs here; up in trip today. |
|||
|PU| (14)  (18/1 +10%)My Lady Phoenix |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) My Lady Phoenix 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted best effort yet when runner-up on qualifying hurdles run here (2m) in November. Checked out pretty tamely on handicap debut at Wincanton (19.8f) last month but it remains early days with her. Placed twice over hurdles but was pulled up when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (66/1 -100%)Ileny Royale |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ileny Royale 66/1, Placed twice from 4 starts in minor events for Gabriel Leenders in France. However, friendless in the betting and offered little on handicap hurdle debut for new yard at Ffos Las (15.8f) in December. Up in trip now. Well beaten when 100-1 for last month's handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, heavy). |
|||
|PU| (12)  (80/1 -60%)Meranti |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Meranti 80/1, Mid-field both starts over hurdles in Ireland and signed off time for Stuart Crawford with fourth-place finish in a bumper in May. Little to shout about in 3 appearances for new yard, though, including on handicap debut at Hereford last time. Well-beaten 80-1 shot when upped to 3m1f for handicap debut in November; back in trip here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In a wide-open event, marginal preference is for ACCIDENTAL LEGEND, who readily accounted for Jack Sprat at Uttoxeter shortly before Christmas. Off a 6lb higher mark, the seven-year-old merits the utmost respect once again. The unexposed Deerstalker has to be of some interest on his handicap bow, while Danton is another who warrants a place on the shortlist in the finale.
DANTON remains with potential if all is well (lost action when pulled up at Exeter just 3 weeks ago) and he's worth another chance. Mumbles is a live player, while Uttoxeter-winner Accidental Legend could go well again having notched up a hat-trick last season.
Perhaps the answer might be HE'S MY SHADOW, who made a bold attempt to dominate a C&D novice from the front last March.

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.

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.
