1st (3)  (5/6 -14%)Knight Of Allen |
5/6(-14%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Knight Of Allen 5/6, Carried out soon after the first on his debut in a Cheltenham Grade 2 in November and he showed plenty of ability when second to a subsequent winner in listed juvenile at Aintree a month later. Leading claims. Runner-up in a Listed race on what was essentially his debut; should be hard to beat. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/2 +29%)Authentic Legacy |
5/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Authentic Legacy 5/2, Half-brother to 3 winners, including dual bumper winner Moonamacaroona. Fair form in pair of bumpers since the turn of the year and he's very much the type his very good yard do well with over hurdles. Plenty of promise in both his bumpers and bred to do well over hurdles. |
|||
3rd (4)  (9/2 -13%)Lightning Flash |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lightning Flash 9/2, Fair form when successful on first of 3 starts in bumpers and plenty of encouragement to be drawn from his hurdles debut second at Taunton (16.5f) 33 days ago. Promises to do better again and respected here. Bumper winner who ran well behind a respected rival on his switch to hurdling. |
|||
4th (6)  (14/1 -40%)The Ron Do Ron |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Ron Do Ron 14/1, Golden Horn gelding who ran to a fair level when 6 lengths fourth on his debut in a Kempton bumper in February. Never travelled all that well under more testing conditions when fourth of 5 at Uttoxeter (15.7f, heavy) last month. Market should guide now hurdling. One of 2 runners from this yard. Ran well on Kempton debut and perhaps got stuck in the mud in his second bumper (heavy). |
|||
5th (2)  (22/1 -38%)Kalhandrion |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kalhandrion 22/1, Petillo gelding. Half-brother to stables useful chaser Valadom and French 17f hurdle winner Ikigai. Dam 1½m-13f winner on Flat in France. Market should prove a useful guide on debut. Related to winners but likely best watched on debut. |
|||
6th (5)  (40/1 +0%)Lord Of All Saints |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lord Of All Saints 40/1, Only minor promise on 2 of his 3 starts in juvenile hurdles to date and handicaps entitled to be more his bag. Tongue strap on 1st time. Beaten about 20l in his two runs on either side of falling early at Taunton in March. |
|||
7th (7)  (250/1 -213%)Prairie Queen |
250/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Prairie Queen 250/1, Down the field in a pair of bumpers and well held on hurdles debut at Taunton (16.5f) in February, losing touch 4 out and pulled up. Can only be watched. Well held in two bumpers before pulling up behind a class act on her hurdling debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Lightning Flash had a subsequent winner a position behind him when runner-up at Taunton and that sets the jumping standard. Gary Moore's pair have offered plenty of encouragement in bumpers, though, especially AUTHENTIC LEGACY, who was a promising fourth in Listed company prior to a slightly less inspiring display in a traditionally strong Newbury affair. His stablemate The Ron Do Ron is also expected to do better now that he tackles obstacles.
On what was effectively his debut, KNIGHT OF ALLEN showed much more of what he's about when second in a listed juvenile hurdle at Aintree in December and a repeat here should see Jane Williams' 4-y-o play a lead role. Lightning Flash following his encouraging hurdles debut second is feared, with Authentic Legacy also worth a look having shown plenty of ability in a pair of bumpers.
This is unlikely to be a walk in the park but KNIGHT OF ALLEN is a nice prospect after finishing runner-up in a Listed race at Aintree.

1st (1)  (10/11 +34%)Casa No Mento |
10/11(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Casa No Mento 10/11, Fairy useful bumper winner who created a good impression in winning her first 2 starts over hurdles (both at 2m, good). Lost little in defeat in a Taunton listed event on most recent outing and sound claims despite conceding weight all round here. Began hurdling career with two wins and was second in a Listed race last time. |
|||
2nd (8)  (40/1 -100%)She's My Shadow |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) She's My Shadow 40/1, Jet Away mare. Dam (h95), lightly raced over hurdles, 1½m winner on Flat. Placed on last of 3 starts in points (Dec 2022) and market should prove a useful guide on Rules/hurdles debut. Placed in a point in December 2022 but makes rules debut after a long absence. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/4 -20%)Either Or |
9/4(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Either Or 9/4, Winning pointer in Ireland who built on a promising Warwick bumper second when making a successful start to her hurdle career there (19f, heavy) in January. Possibly amiss when pulled up in Sandown Grade 2 a month later but she's very much the type to bounce back. Scored on hurdle debut; pulled up in a Grade 2 since but remains a good prospect. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/2 +27%)Jaminska |
11/2(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jaminska 11/2, Juvenile hurdle winner last winter who ran well when hitting the frame first 2 starts this term. Fell over extended 19f here in January though and not at her best when fourth of 7 in mares' novice at Market Rasen (16.5f) a month later. Subsequent 53 day break may help ahead of this. Began season with two good runs but has a bit to find here and didn't fire last time. |
|||
5th (6)  (15/2 -88%)Get Sky High |
15/2(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Get Sky High 15/2, Point/bumper winner who showed plenty to work on sent hurdling after 19 months off when third of 14 in a maiden at Hereford (16.2f, soft) in November 2022. Not seen since but yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and she has to be considered. Made promising hurdling debut in November 2022 but not seen again since. |
|||
6th (4)  (150/1 -200%)Ellies Sister |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ellies Sister 150/1, Knew more than on debut and shaped like a stayer when second of 11 in Hereford bumper last January. However, low-key efforts in pair of hurdle runs since, pulled up abck from 8 months off at Wincanton 93 days ago. Struggled on first two hurdling starts (2m7f/3m); drops in trip today. |
|||
7th (7)  (50/1 -317%)Gone Away Madam |
50/1(-317%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gone Away Madam 50/1, Blue Bresil mare who made the perfect start when comfortable winner of a Uttoxeter bumper (15.7f) last June. Not in quite the same form back at that venue a month later and well held back from 7 months off at Newbury (16.3f) 6 weeks ago. Hurdles debut. Struggled in heavy-ground bumper last month but won by 12l on good ground last June. |
|||
8th (5)  (125/1 -213%)Extra Cover |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Extra Cover 125/1, Jack Hobbs mare who makes plenty of appeal on paper but seemingly lacking for sharpness when well beaten fourth of 7 in a Huntingdon bumper on debut 6 weeks ago. This should reveal more now attentions switch to timber. Tailed off in Huntingdon bumper last month; hurdling debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Casa No Mento was eight lengths clear of Jaminska when they took minor honours in a Listed contest at Taunton at the end of 2023 and she will be a tough nut to crack. The 5lb she has to concede to EITHER OR could prove her undoing, though, and Nicky Henderson's mare is backed to put a lacklustre performance in a Sandown Grade 2 behind her. Get Sky High hasn't been seen for the best part of a year and a half, but she finished third to the high-class Nemean Lion at Hereford so must be taken seriously.
Impressing when winning each of her first 2 starts over hurdles, CASA NO MENTO lost little caste in defeat when runner-up in a mares' listed contest at Taunton when last seen in December. Her rider takes off a handy 7 lb back from a break and she could be the answer. Either Or is best not judged on her Sandown run and remains capable of better, whilst Get Sky High needs considering despite an absence to overcome.
Either Or could be dangerous if back on song but CASA NO MENTO sets the form standard and has less to prove.

1st (2)  (13/2 -8%)Zambezi Fix |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Zambezi Fix 13/2, Justified good support when staying on well to score over C&D in December and finished runner-up over fences/hurdles next 2 starts. Shaped as if still in form prior to falling 2 out at Exeter (17.5f) 5 weeks ago and he's not discounted here. Largely consistent over fences and hurdles, and runs this track well; in the mix. |
|||
2nd (9)  (11/2 -10%)Double Click |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Double Click 11/2, Bounced back with a career-best effort to land a 9-runner C&D handicap last time. Not an easy ride and has a rather up-and-down profile but he's a player if on his game. Quirky customer who ran in snatches before winning over C&D last month; hard to predict. |
|||
3rd (6)  (6/4 +25%)Wise Guy |
6/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wise Guy 6/4, 5-y-o who boasts a progressive profile in handicaps, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts when running out an 8-length winner at Carlisle (17f) 2 weeks ago, keeping on well. Stable continue in terrific order and claims from 8 lb higher mark. Progressive 5yo who drew 8l clear to score under Harry Atkins at Carlisle a fortnight ago. |
|||
4th (4)  (7/1 +0%)Tommie Gun |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tommie Gun 7/1, Made a successful debut over hurdles in 2m novice at Southwell in December. Failed to build on that next 2 starts but back on track when third on handicap bow at Newbury (16.3f, soft) last time and should make his presence felt here off 1 lb lower. Kept on well for third on handicap debut at Newbury; could still have a bigger run in him. |
|||
5th (10)  (15/2 +17%)Valens Bruyee |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Valens Bruyee 15/2, Left previous efforts in this sphere well behind when off the mark in a C&D novice in January. Held back by his jumping in pair of handicaps subsequently but handicapper is easing his grip and he remains lightly raced. Shock C&D winner in January but not in same form in 2m3f handicap here last month. |
|||
6th (1)  (8/1 -14%)Lunar Sovereign |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lunar Sovereign 8/1, Lightly-raced 8-y-o who caught the eye when fourth in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock when last seen in Spring of last year. Absent since but unlikely to be lacking for fitness given his stable and underfoot conditions will hold no fears. Very creditable fourth in major Haydock handicap last May; not seen again since. |
|||
7th (5)  (33/1 -65%)I Have A Voice |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) I Have A Voice 33/1, Won twice in juvenile hurdles last season but has been some way below that level in pair of handicap starts since returning from an absence this year. Mark is easing at least and cheekpieces (on when winning on the Flat) return here. Back from break with two heavy defeats this year; cheekpieces refitted today. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (22/1 -214%)Believe Jack |
22/1(-214%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Believe Jack 22/1, Back to winning ways in this first-time headgear in 2m Catterick claiming hurdle last month (final start for Olly Murphy). On a fair mark starting out for new yard but consistency hasn't been his forte. Claimed for £5,000 after winning in first-time blinkers last month; this race is tougher. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (40/1 -233%)Lucky Lugger |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lucky Lugger 40/1, Showed little in pair of bumpers but some encouragement to glean from exploits over hurdles for new yard. third of 7 in a C&D novice 12 days ago. That may not prove his limit now attentions switch to handicaps. Shaped with significant promise in two recent novice races; makes handicap debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WISE GUY made amends for a costly Huntingdon defeat when getting back on the winning trail at Carlisle, and he apparently loves it when the mud is flying. He can defy an 8lb rise and confirm his superiority over Double Click, who was a long way behind him at Lingfield in February but has since got his head back in front over C&D. Zambezi Fix is always worth a look at Chepstow, while Tommie Gun made a pleasing handicap bow at Newbury, and Lunar Sovereign is interesting on his first appearance since finishing fourth in last year's Swinton.
WISEGUY took another step forward when making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts at Carlisle 2 weeks ago and he looks to hold good claims again from his revised mark with his yard continuing in fine form. Fellow last-time-out winner Double Click and Zambezi Fix head up the dangers, with Lunar Sovereign another to note on his return to action.
Preference is for TOMMIE GUN, who was placed in a heavy-ground handicap last month and may do better if conditions improve here.

1st (2)  (6/1 +25%)Bells Of Peterboro |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bells Of Peterboro 6/1, Consistent sort who boasts a good record here, winning or placed on 7 of his 10 previous starts at this course over hurdles/fences. Shouldn't be judged too harshly on latest display at Bangor and he's only 2 lb above the mark off which he scored over C&D in January. Gained his sole chase win, albeit somewhat fortuitously, over this C&D. |
|||
2nd (8)  (7/2 -27%)Rouge De L'quest |
7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rouge De L'quest 7/2, Winning pointer who opened his Rules account at the ninth attempt when landing a Ffos Las handicap by 13 lengths (23.8f, heavy) in this headgear combination last time. 8 lb rise fair enough and will be a danger to all if able to build on that. Took well to first-time blinkers at Ffos Las two weeks ago, scoring easily; respected. |
|||
3rd (4)  (10/3 +17%)Bolsover Bill |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bolsover Bill 10/3, Won 4 times for Warren Greatrex last season and has continued to thrive for current yard, landing back-to-back handicaps at Exeter in January under this rider. Performed with credit despite some shoddy jumping at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) recently and a bold show is anticipated here. Jumping has been an issue the last twice; ideally needs to regain fluency. |
|||
4th (7)  (9/1 -64%)Eceparti |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Eceparti 9/1, Notched back-to-back wins in the mud here in the autumn, latterly over this C&D. Runner-up back at this course the last twice but it was a shade disappointing that he failed to deliver in a 3-runner contest last time, particularly given that he was allowed a soft lead. Solid claims based on his Chepstow record this term; runner-up over C&D last twice. |
|||
5th (6)  (14/1 +0%)Haut Folin |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Haut Folin 14/1, Forged clear to land a gamble at Ffos Las on return and placed on his next 3 outings. However, form has dipped in a major way the last twice and yard saddles a stronger candidate in Eceparti. Has dropped back down the weights; revival possible off current mark. |
|||
|B| (1)  (10/1 -43%)Dr Kananga |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dr Kananga 10/1, Two visits here during 2021/22 campaign resulted in a second-place finish over C&D and a wide-margin success in a 26f handicap. Back to form when runner-up at Fontwell and Catterick in February but latest effort was poor and now tried in more severe headgear (visor replaces blinkers). Disappointing last time but has possibilities on his solid February form; new headgear. |
|||
|U| (3)  (7/2 +22%)King Turgeon |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) King Turgeon 7/2, Good second on return over C&D in November and duly went one place better at Exeter later that month. Back on the right track following a series of low-key efforts when going close at Taunton (23f, soft) recently and he's one to consider. Posted a good front-running effort at Taunton last month; enters calculations. |
|||
|U| (5)  (12/1 -50%)Heaven Smart |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Heaven Smart 12/1, The addition of blinkers and more positive tactics seemingly worked wonders at Kempton (3m, soft) where he landed a 6-runner handicap without breaking sweat. However, he was beating a retreat when unseating rider 3 out at Newbury next time and is probably too high in the weights for now. Return to Class 4 may suit; scored in this grade at Kempton two starts ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KING TURGEON ran a big race in second when narrowly denied by an in-form rival at Taunton last month and a 3lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to gain compensation. David Pipe's charge has run well here before and he gets the vote ahead of the capable Bolsover Bill and Rouge De L'quest, who got off the mark in excellent style at Ffos Las last month. Not outside the first two on each of his last four starts here (two wins), Eceparti cannot be ruled out either.
Granted a better round of jumping than at Market Rasen, BOLSOVER BILL could be the answer. He still appears to be on a fair mark and earns preference ahead of Rouge de L'Quest, who opened his chase account in good style at Ffos Las and may well have more to offer in this sphere. King Turgeon and Eceparti should both be on the premises, too.
In the hope that he rebounds in new headgear, preference is for DR KANANGA. Second choice is Rouge De L'Quest.

1st (7)  (7/1 +30%)Brulure Noire |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Brulure Noire 7/1, Landed Ffos Las handicap chase for second year in succession in November, produced to lead before last and asserting quickly run-in. However, he's been disappointing on his next 2 starts and is in danger of mirroring a regressive 2022/23 campaign. Below form on last couple of outings but ran well in this race last year; a possible. |
|||
2nd (5)  (20/1 -233%)The Boola Boss |
20/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Boola Boss 20/1, Winner of 2 of his first 3 starts over fences, including a good-ground Worcester handicap last June. Jumping went to pot when misfiring at Market Rasen the following month, though, and opposable here back from a 9-month absence. Absent since a heavy defeat last summer; seems best over further and on good ground. |
|||
3rd (9)  (4/1 +43%)Valirann Gold |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Valirann Gold 4/1, Resumed winning ways at Fontwell in February but has come up short on each of his 3 subsequent starts, including when beaten over 16 lengths in the C&D race won by King of Brazil. Looks vulnerable. Kept on dourly to win at Fontwell in February but not firing on all cylinders since. |
|||
4th (6)  (10/1 -11%)Exmoor Forest |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Exmoor Forest 10/1, Winner of Warwick maiden hurdle last May and, though rather in-and-out since, his latest third in a handicap at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) was a creditable effort. 2 lb lower now switched to fences and he could have a part to play if his jumping passes the test. Took step back in right direction when placed over hurdles last month; chase debut today. |
|||
5th (2)  (80/1 -900%)Post No Bills |
80/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Post No Bills 80/1, Has enjoyed a productive campaign in handicap chases, gaining third success of the season when readily making all at Plumpton (17f, good) in September. Looked rusty back from a 5-month break at Southwell and this run should be more revealing. Won three good-ground chases in early part of season; well beaten (on soft) after a break. |
|||
|B| (4)  (2/1 +33%)King Of Brazil |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Of Brazil 2/1, Fair hurdler/chaser who is 2-3 since undergoing a wind op, most recently landing a 5-runner C&D handicap. Probably not the easiest for the handicapper to pin down owing to his tendency to doss in front and he's the one to beat. 2-3 since his wind op in December, the latter win over C&D last month. |
|||
|B| (3)  (16/1 -33%)Inedit De Mee |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Inedit De Mee 16/1, Showed fairly useful form when runner-up on the last 3 of his 4 starts in 2021/22 for J. Boisnard. Didn't offer a great deal on debut for this stable at Doncaster in December, though, and will need to leave that well behind now switched to fences. Placed over hurdles in France; well beaten on British debut; now switched to fences. |
|||
|F| (1)  (13/2 -63%)Moonlighter |
13/2(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Moonlighter 13/2, Infrequent winner nowadays and doesn't always find much when push comes to shove. On the upside, his latest success was registered over this C&D off a 9 lb higher mark last January, so it would be unwise to rule him out. Not the force of old but ran okay last month and is suited by this C&D; one to consider. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (11/2 +8%)Walk In The Wild |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Walk In The Wild 11/2, Made the perfect start sent chasing last season, winning his first two starts. Not been in same form this term but he has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and took a step back in the right direction when third at Doncaster (19f, soft) last time. Blinkers applied. Not beaten far last month but has basically become disappointing; headgear switched again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
In what looks like a very winnable contest, it can pay to side with recent C&D winner KING OF BRAZIL, who has got the hang of things since the turn of the year. A 3lb rise for that most recent success looks manageable and it may be a previous C&D winner in Moonlighter that gives him the most to think about, despite the latter having an underwhelming season to this point. Not seen since disappointing at Market Rasen last July, The Boola Boss is one to note on his return as he won two of his three starts previous to that.
KING OF BRAZIL got it together jumping-wise when scoring over C&D last month and a 3 lb rise in the weights almost certainly underestimates him. The 7-y-o gets the nod ahead of Walk In The Wild and chasing-debutant Exmoor Forest.
Front-running veteran MOONLIGHTER is well suited by this C&D and could be hard to catch off his career-low mark.

1st (6)  (3/1 +14%)Pipers Cross |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pipers Cross 3/1, Stayed on well to open her hurdles account in handicap at Huntingdon (25f, heavy) in March and backed it up with a creditable second at Stratford last time. Another bold showing looks assured. Upped in grade but her consistency is an asset; record of 22213 for current yard. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 +10%)Lady Balko |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lady Balko 9/4, Improved since handicapping and completed a quick-fire hat-trick in ready style at Taunton in March. Another likeable display when second at this course last time and step back up trip should suit. Worth a chance to resume winning ways. Clear second over 2m3f here last month when bidding for four-timer; unbeaten at 3m. |
|||
3rd (3)  (15/2 -67%)Melusine De Pail |
15/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Melusine De Pail 15/2, Point winner who has shaped encouragingly when placed on each of her three hurdling outings. Handicapper hasn't gone overboard with opening mark and longer trip could help, so one to consider. Placed in all hurdles starts and the form has substance; interesting handicap debutante. |
|||
4th (2)  (6/1 +40%)Tequila Blaze |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tequila Blaze 6/1, Fair handicap hurdler who stepped up markedly on her reappearance run to capitalise on a falling mark at Southwell (24.3f, soft) in February. Creditable effort but seemed undone by a rise when fifth at Wincanton next time. Won well at Southwell but held off this mark since; takes on some unexposed types. |
|||
4th (7)  (6/1 +8%)Houston Calling |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Houston Calling 6/1, 17/2, left previous efforts behind when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, heavy) 33 days ago. Still relatively unexposed and could do better still, so worthy of consideration. Had wind surgery prior to good second at Stratford; may build on that effort. |
|||
6th (5)  (15/2 -15%)Cast's Tasha |
15/2(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cast's Tasha 15/2, Began the campaign in fine form over hurdles and value for extra when landing cramped odds on chase debut at Ffos Las in February. Tame display at Exeter next time but not fully dismissed back over hurdles. Reverts to hurdles from fences; has stamina to prove at this distance. |
|||
7th (8)  (22/1 +56%)Elfride |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Elfride 22/1, Improved to win a 23f Uttoxeter handicap last spring but it's all been rather inauspicious since and she's set for another struggle from out of the weights. Poor record since her win last May; well out of the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
With three wins and two second-placed efforts from six starts since early January, Lady Balko has undoubtedly held her form well and commands respect, despite now finding herself on a 30lb higher mark than since the turn of the year. However, she may be vulnerable off her current perch and she is taken on with TEQUILA BLAZE, who can get competitive off a handy rating. With trip and ground to suit, Fergal O'Brien's wily 10-year-old tends to go well for Tom Broughton, whose 5lb claim is a further boost for the selection. Molto Bene completes the shortlist.
LADY BALKO boasts a highly progressive profile and is worth a chance to get back to winning ways having posted another good effort over a shorter trip at this course last time. Pipers Cross is another likeable mare with solid claims and Melusine de Pail is an interesting handicap debutante.
Handicap debutante MELUSINE DE PAIL (nap) holds very solid claims, with her form stacking up well. Lady Balko is feared most.

1st (2)  (14/1 -65%)Love Of Neymore |
14/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Love Of Neymore 14/1, Shaped better than previously in Huntingdon novice (20.7f) 3 weeks ago, even catching the eye (finished with running left under tender handling). One to note on handicap debut. Made the frame in her last two qualifying races and can improve again in handicaps. |
|||
2nd (3)  (15/2 +38%)Shuil Ceoil |
15/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shuil Ceoil 15/2, Confirmed earlier promise when winning 15-runner handicap at Exeter (21f, heavy) in December. Poor run at Warwick last month and needs more now fitted with hood. Dug deep to prevail at Exeter in December but has suffered a dip in form lately. |
|||
3rd (1)  (15/2 -50%)Fresh Speculation |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fresh Speculation 15/2, Well backed and ran his best race sent handicapping over this sort of trip at Hereford 8 weeks ago, the extra distance probably in his favour given the way he shaped, keeping on for third. Suspect he has races in him. Placed on handicap debut at Hereford in February; useful 5lb claimer booked today. |
|||
4th (7)  (18/1 +10%)Getuptheyard |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getuptheyard 18/1, Not disgraced on handicap debut at Taunton (19f) in February but well held there next time. Something to find. Very respectable fourth on handicap debut; ran in snatches when below that form last time. |
|||
5th (6)  (10/1 +29%)River Voyage |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) River Voyage 10/1, Winning Irish pointer and best run over hurdles when third of 6 in novice at Chepstow (3m, heavy) last month. Potential improver in handicaps. Struggled on first two hurdling starts but last month's run here was much more encouraging. |
|||
6th (14)  (11/1 +31%)Just Aidan |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Just Aidan 11/1, Hinted at ability in 3 quick runs over hurdles initially and chased home 2 plainly a long way ahead of their marks on handicap debut at Wincanton recently. One to note down 3 lb. Beaten about 29l when third of 11 on handicap debut but travelled well for a long way. |
|||
7th (9)  (9/2 +44%)Express Surprise |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Express Surprise 9/2, Modest form both completed starts over hurdles, shaped as if needing stiffer test in decent race at Ludlow (2m) latest. Worth a look now handicapping up in trip. Has shown promise in 2m novice hurdles and today's step up in trip ought to suit. |
|||
8th (15)  (50/1 -100%)Citizen Jane |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Citizen Jane 50/1, Point scorer but winless over hurdles and down the field in handicaps for new yard. Soundly beaten all three starts for new yard this year; of interest only if market speaks. |
|||
9th (8)  (28/1 -12%)Inebranlable |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Inebranlable 28/1, Disappointing again on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) 11 weeks ago but still unexposed and return to longer trip might suit. Well beaten on handicap debut in January; moves back up from 2m here; improvement needed. |
|||
10th (4)  (7/1 +50%)J'habite En France |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) J'habite En France 7/1, Shaped better than the bare result making handicap debut at Warwick (21f, heavy) after wind op last month, fitness tested to the very full under the conditions after 13 weeks off. Down 3 lb and one to consider. Ran well for a long way when fourth of 13 on handicap debut at Warwick; could have a say. |
|||
11th (10)  (11/4 +31%)Goguenard |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Goguenard 11/4, Has upped his game since switched to handicaps over hurdles, battling well to make it back-to-back wins at Catterick (19.3f, soft) in February and going in again at Stratford last month. No surprise to see him go well again up 6 lb. Improving 8yo who is 3-4 since switched to handicaps; likely to give this a good shot. |
|||
12th (13)  (66/1 -313%)Howdy Partner |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Howdy Partner 66/1, Maiden who shaped as if back in form at Ffos Las (2m) 10 weeks ago, still to play his full hand when crashing out. More needed back up in trip. Still in contention when falling last time but now 0-7 over hurdles; others preferred. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (28/1 -75%)Kosasiempre |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kosasiempre 28/1, Hinted at ability in a trio of mares' novice hurdles but disappointing on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) 40 days ago. Has had a wind op and also has tongue tie on now. Dropped out tamely on handicap debut; had wind op since; tongue-tie added. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This is the right sort of level for GOGUENARD, who has been in flying form since returning from almost a year on the sidelines. With three wins from four starts since late January, this low-mileage eight-year-old still has plenty to offer from a mark of just 84 and, with ground conditions to suit, the gelding can continue to flourish. Wonderweasle also enters the reckoning off just 3lb higher than her recent Ffos Lass success, while Fresh Speculation rates a player on just his fifth run over hurdles.
A number to consider in this big field, with LOVE OF NEYMORE chanced on her handicap debut. J'Habite En France, the thriving Goguenard and Fresh Speculation are among a number of others that must be respected.
Flat winner MILITARY TYCOON has made a quiet start to his hurdling career but could be on a good mark for this handicap debut.

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.
