1st (3) ![]() Calimystic |
2/1(-45%) | (3) Calimystic 2/1, Half-brother to the smart Angels Breath. Has shaped with promise when runner-up in a Taunton bumper and C&D maiden hurdle this winter. Open to improvement and leading claims. Runner-up on both starts and he's open to improvement for his top yard; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) ![]() Broderick |
7/1(+13%) | (1) Broderick 7/1, Fortunate winner of a 2m Newcastle maiden last month, held when left in front 3 out. Likely vulnerable to anything with potential under the penalty. Capitalised on odds-on favourite's fall to win at Newcastle; further improvement is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) ![]() Queens Wish |
4/7(+100%) | (6) Queens Wish 4/7, Bought for €140,000 after winning sole outing in Irish points and looked very professional when making a winning hurdle debut in 11-runner novice at Newcastle (17f, good to soft) 12 days ago, making most/jumping accurately. Sure to progress. Made it 2-2 with easy win on hurdle debut at Newcastle and could have lots more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) ![]() Neptune House |
150/1(-50%) | (5) Neptune House 150/1, Down the field in 2 bumpers nearly 9 months apart (trained by Camilla Poulton on debut). Outsider on hurdle debut. Showed some ability in his second bumper but claims aren't compelling on his hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) ![]() Banderas |
40/1(-82%) | (2) Banderas 40/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat (stays 16.5f), ending 2024 with a win at Wolverhampton in December. Hurdle debut. 40-1 win on the Flat last time but goes hurdling in a warm race and may be best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) ![]() Kit The Christian |
100/1(-100%) | (4) Kit The Christian 100/1, Brother to bumper winner Getagin and closely related to useful hurdler Crooks Peak (winner around 2m). Bred to have a future but probably best watched this time unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Could have a future but will need to be useful to make a winning debut in this good race. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
QUEENS WISH cost 140,000 euros after landing an Irish point-to-point in April and she made the perfect start to her career under Rules when winning impressively at Newcastle last month. The strength of that form is up for debate, but she looks to be a nice type and any progression can see her go in again. Calimystic has chased home a couple of promising types across his two racecourse appearances and is perhaps the main threat, as recent Newcastle victor Broderick will need more under the penalty.
CALIMYSTIC made a promising start to his hurdle career when second over C&D last month and is narrowly preferred to Dan Skelton's Queens Wish in what will likely develop into a straight fight between the pair.
The unbeaten mare QUEENS WISH looked good at Newcastle and is taken to make it 3-3. C&D runner-up Calimystic is feared most.

1st (6) ![]() Tommy Cullen |
7/4(+65%) | (6) Tommy Cullen 7/4, Fair winner at 19f over hurdles here and similar form over fences, solid start for new yard equipped with a first-time hood when second in a C&D handicap in December. Subsequent Huntingdon run was disappointing but a return to this venue is a plus. Runner-up over C&D in December after absence and soft ground may not have suited since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) ![]() Glory And Honour |
5/1(+17%) | (2) Glory And Honour 5/1, Versatile sort who resumed winning ways at Newcastle (20.1f) in November. However, has found things much tougher since, never dangerous when seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f, soft) 18 days ago. Well beaten last time but won three starts ago, and on his last visit here; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) ![]() Gallic Geordie |
14/1(-211%) | (3) Gallic Geordie 14/1, Veteran who has been lightly raced since scoring at Wetherby (15f, heavy) last winter but ran well after 11 months off when third at Lingfield (20f) in December. Unseated too far out to suggest how he would have fared at Wetherby 18 days ago but he's worth a second look. Cheekpieces discarded. Now 12 but showed spark when third at Lingfield in December and he's a possible player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) ![]() God's Own Getaway |
5/2(0%) | (4) God's Own Getaway 5/2, Made an immediate impact switched to chasing, successful on 2 of his first 3 starts last spring. Wasn't shaping up at all badly during the autumn, again not so strong at the finish when fifth in handicap chase at Warwick (20f) in November. Had wind op since and shortlisted back down in trip. Returns from break having had wind surgery and he's respected for his top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) ![]() Snowy Clouds |
11/2(-22%) | (5) Snowy Clouds 11/2, Progressive winning chaser in early 2023, successful 3 times at up to 17f. Looked badly in need of the run after 20 months off when pulled up in a C&D handicap 67 days ago but yard amongst the winners and this promises to reveal more. Shaped pretty well on comeback from long absence, even though he was pulled up; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) ![]() Hidalgo De L'isle |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Hidalgo De L'isle 6/1, Dual hurdles winner who showed improved form to make a winning chase debut at Newton Abbot (16.3f) in August. Similar form in defeat next 3 starts and whilst he didn't look likely to feature when falling here (19f) in December, he's not ruled out back down in trip. Work to do when falling three out here latest but drops in grade now; could be involved. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A contest in which most have something to prove, and only a tentative vote can go to TOMMY CULLEN. Matt Crawley's charge struggled at Huntingdon last time out, but he seldom runs poorly here and any improvement on his C&D second in December might suffice. God's Own Getaway is only 1lb above his last winning mark and recent wind surgery could spark a return to form, while Glory And Honour appeals most of the remainder.
Each of GOD'S OWN GETAWAY's previous victories have come over longer trips, yet the way he travels suggests he's worth a crack at this shorter distance and he could be worth siding with from a reduced mark on the back of wind surgery. Veteran Gallic Geordie and Tommy Cullen back at Doncaster are the dangers.
The return to better ground is a likely plus for TOMMY CULLEN, who has a good record here and earns the vote ahead of \bSnowy Clouds.

1st (3) ![]() Jukebox Fury |
5/1(+50%) | (3) Jukebox Fury 5/1, First sign of ability when fifth of 8 in 21f Kempton maiden in May. Disappointed switched to a handicap at Exeter 8 months later but leading yard perseveres. Tailed off on handicap debut after a break but in top hands and showed promise previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (16) ![]() Skin Full |
13/8(+68%) | (16) Skin Full 13/8, Made a reasonable start to his handicap chase career when fourth of 13 over fences at Taunton in November. Didn't come close to justifying strong market support over 2m at Wincanton (chase again) next time but still early days and this significant step up in trip could suit back hurdling. Lightly raced 3m point runner-up who could be suited by step up in trip now back hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) ![]() Ca Plane Pour Moi |
11/2(+8%) | (8) Ca Plane Pour Moi 11/2, Had been shaping up quite well for Colm Murphy but yet to offer much encouragement for his current yard. Strong in the market at Uttoxeter last time but weakened to finish a remote fifth. Neil Mulholland's good recent form provides hope but hardly a solid one. Well backed into favouritism at Uttoxeter but soundly beaten; needs to raise his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) ![]() Mackie Dee |
33/1(-136%) | (14) Mackie Dee 33/1, It's now 15 runs since his last win in 2022 but he recorded a creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (3m, good) when last seen 12 weeks ago. 13yo who is on a long losing run but has each-way possibilities judged on November form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) ![]() Glory Hights |
15/2(+46%) | (5) Glory Hights 15/2, Off the mark in 3m Carlisle handicap in November and backed it up with a good second of 16 at Newcastle (2½m) in December. Respectable 16 lengths fourth of 11 at Wetherby returned to 3m last time. Each-way claims. Ended last year in good form; below best when 4th at Wetherby last time but not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) ![]() Good Bye |
11/1(+45%) | (7) Good Bye 11/1, Proved a model of consistency during 2022/23 campaign for this yard, including a course win, but hasn't hit the same heights since returning from an absence, running a moody race when a well-held fourth at Southwell latest. Mark continues to fall but this 10yo hasn't been shaping as though a win is imminent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) ![]() Toucan Sam |
33/1(+0%) | (10) Toucan Sam 33/1, Modest maiden chaser who was placed 3 times in hunters/handicaps last May. Not disgraced in 2 hurdles at Ayr on return from wind surgery in January but pulled up back chasing there last week. Pulled up over fences last week but in fair form over hurdles previously; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) ![]() Coniston Clouds |
12/1(+40%) | (1) Coniston Clouds 12/1, Two no shows over fences to start the season and fared little better back hurdling at Newcastle in December. Given a chance by the handicapper as a result but need to see more. Struggling this season but on good ground which may not have been ideal; dangerous mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) ![]() On We Go |
150/1(-88%) | (9) On We Go 150/1, Largely struggled since landing a 3m Ayr handicap 2 years ago, including down the field in 2 comeback runs this winter. 3rd at Sedgefield last February but this 12yo has been well beaten on both runs this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) ![]() Iturgeon Du Breuil |
22/1(+12%) | (15) Iturgeon Du Breuil 22/1, Placed in his first 2 handicap hurdles last spring but his form dipped since, including pulling up over fences last twice. It remains to be seen whether return to hurdling and first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) help to spark a revival. Pulled up the last twice but blinkers and return to hurdles could give him a boost. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) ![]() Lucky Soldier |
20/1(-43%) | (6) Lucky Soldier 20/1, Modest maiden hurdler who failed to build on quite an encouraging reappearance at Kelso when only seventh of 11 at Newcastle 3 weeks ago. The first-time tongue worn last time is retained. Fair efforts on both runs this season but needs something extra to get off the mark today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) ![]() Lizzie Rey |
66/1(-100%) | (12) Lizzie Rey 66/1, No impact, including pulling up on handicap debut and reappearance at Ludlow in November. Has subsequently had wind surgery. Lightly raced and has had wind surgery, but she's achieved very little. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) ![]() So Ladylike |
14/1(+30%) | (13) So Ladylike 14/1, Off the mark under Rules when striking at the second time of asking under Rules in a 23f Hexham handicap in June. Respectable fourth of 10 at Wetherby 8 months later and entitled to be sharper for that outing. Won at Hexham last June on second stable start and could improve for last month's comeback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) ![]() Lady Harriett |
14/1(-100%) | (11) Lady Harriett 14/1, Opened account at Ffos Las (2½m, good to soft) in November. Suffered heavy defeats on her next 2 outings but back to form when plugging on for third at Southwell (20.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Back to form when third at Southwell and in with a chance now back up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FARMER JIMMY made a successful handicap debut in a hands and heels event at Wetherby a week ago. Mark Walford's charge escapes a penalty for that success and looks to have an excellent chance of going in again. Lady Harriett hit the frame over 2m4f at Southwell last time out and is of interest returned to further, while others to note include Skin Full and Alltalknoaction.
FARMER JIMMY is actually able to run off 2 lb lower than when successful over 2½m at Wetherby last week so his claims are obvious, particularly as 3m promises to suit him even better. There's still a feeling that David Pipe's Skin Full could have more to offer and he's second choice ahead of the consistent Glory Hights.
The lightly raced 5yo FARMER JIMMY (nap) is able to run off a mark 2lb lower than when winning at Wetherby last week. He's the pick.

1st (9) ![]() Jamesieconn |
7/2(-40%) | (9) Jamesieconn 7/2, Winning Irish pointer who never figured in trio of quick-fire hurdle runs, albeit not knocked about when fifth of 10 in qualifying run at Catterick (19.3f) for the latest of them. Interesting connections opt for a quick switch to chasing on handicap bow and the betting can guide. Also had wind op. Winning pointer who could leave his hurdle form behind now sent chasing; had wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) ![]() Getthepot |
16/1(-45%) | (8) Getthepot 16/1, Ended a losing run from much-reduced mark/under change of tactics at Worcester (23f) in September but he's very hard to catch right and he wasn't in anything like the same form when well-beaten tenth in handicap chase at Uttoxeter a month later. Absent/had wind surgery ahead of this. Inconsistent and has struggled in his next run after two previous wind operations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) ![]() C'est Quelqu'un |
28/1(+15%) | (5) C'est Quelqu'un 28/1, Recorded back-to-back handicap chase wins for Gordon Elliott last season but form has gone the wrong way since, merely plugging on when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (26.3f, heavy) 24 days ago. Others preferred despite sliding mark. Rallied for third at Kelso two runs back but moderate otherwise since leaving Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) ![]() Lady Pacifico |
50/1(+0%) | (11) Lady Pacifico 50/1, Flat/hurdles winner who made a decent start for this stable when third at Leicester on chase bow in November 2023. Not built on that however, well-beaten both starts upon returning to action this term. Has it to prove with blinkers now refitted. Made it 0-5 as a chaser when pulled up last time and she's 4lb out of the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) ![]() Super Citizen |
5/1(-11%) | (2) Super Citizen 5/1, Largely consistent since bagging a Kelso hunter 13 months ago, not threatening front pair but still best of rest when third of 11 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f) 4 weeks ago. Should give another good account having eased a little more in the weights. Has to raise his game from somewhere, though mark continues to fall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) ![]() Dusautior |
5/1(+0%) | (6) Dusautior 5/1, Built on previous promise when opening chase account from this mark at Bangor (3m) in April. Exploits distinctly mixed in recent months though, failing to justify his strength in the betting at Carlisle 16 days ago. Interesting connections now opt for sterner headgear and he's not dismissed lightly. Back on his winning mark if the new blinkers can trigger a return to form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) ![]() Fairlawn Flyer |
11/2(+31%) | (1) Fairlawn Flyer 11/2, Successful from a 6 lb higher mark at Cartmel in summer 2023 and confirmed he retains plenty of ability back from a lengthy absence when fourth in Borders National (32.4f) in December. Hasn't kicked on from that in 2 runs since but this ease in class can help. Not in bad form and he's accustomed to higher-grade races than this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) ![]() Touchwoodexpress |
11/2(-38%) | (4) Touchwoodexpress 11/2, Improved for switch to chasing, equipped with cheekpieces when an easy winner at Huntingdon (23.6f) in October. Good second next time and given a break since falling on latest outing at Taunton (26.2f) in December. Remains early days with him and one to consider. Started off well over fences but something to prove now after last two performances. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) ![]() Jessie Lightfoot |
8/1(+33%) | (3) Jessie Lightfoot 8/1, Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver last spring, scoring over fences at Taunton and Southwell. Held form well from higher marks thereafter but recent efforts have suggested she's gone off the boil, tailed off when falling 4 out at Ludlow 2 weeks ago. In a good run of form last year but seems to have lost her way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) ![]() Unblinking |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Unblinking 12/1, Veteran who gained breakthrough over fences at Hereford (25f, good) in 2022/23 season and was runner-up 3 times last season. However, he ended that campaign out of sorts and hasn't looked a winner in waiting in 2 runs upon returning so far this campaign. Never got overly competitive when beaten 15l at Taunton last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Super Citizen has finished third on all four outings since returning at Huntingdon in November and a reproduction of his latest placed at Catterick is likely to see the veteran involved once more. However, Lucinda Hughes' charge is vulnerable to an improver and it could be worth taking a punt on handicap/chase debutant JAMESIECONN. Although the son of Shirocco didn't cut much ice in his three qualifying runs over hurdles, he boasts an Irish 3m point-to-point win in April last year and a marked step up in distance could prove fruitful. Fairlawn Flyer is also noted.
TOUCHWOODEXPRESS has been given a short break since his Taunton spill over Christmas and, boasting a lower-mileage profile than most, he could well be the one to side with. Veteran Super Citizen is proving consistent and he's a threat, as is Dusautior who is equipped with blinkers for the first time. Jamesieconn is another to note now handicapping over fences/following wind surgery.
It's hard to get overly excited about any of these but FAIRLAWN FLYER has a chance of returning to winning ways in this lower grade.

1st (9) ![]() Imperial Jade |
5/1(+41%) | (9) Imperial Jade 5/1, Placed on first 2 runs back from wind surgery and possibly unsuited by soft ground when disappointing at Wincanton since. A dryout would require her to run above any previous form effort on good or faster.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) ![]() Diamond Koda |
11/4(+31%) | (1) Diamond Koda 11/4, Fairly useful form when runner-up all 3 starts in bumpers and yet to finish outside placings on all completed starts over hurdles, looking suited by the step back up in trip when third of 12 at Catterick (19f, good) 4 weeks ago. Enters calculations again. Somehow still a maiden; up to a new career-high mark; no trip or ground issues, at least.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) ![]() Lune De La Mer |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Lune De La Mer 12/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in spring 2023 but well beaten in 2 handicaps back from absence this winter. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. Drying ground would rate a plus, but not sure he's dropped down the weights enough yet.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) ![]() Benmore |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Benmore 7/2, Placed in a bumper and 2 maiden hurdles this winter. Unexposed now making a quick switch to handicaps. Interesting contender. Mark makes sense on peak form effort to date; a tidier round of jumping would help.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) ![]() Gwennie May Star |
3/1(-20%) | (6) Gwennie May Star 3/1, Improved at the second time of asking in handicaps when seeing off 10 rivals at Newcastle (17f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Raised 8 lb but further progress can be expected for his top stable. 8lb rise for Newcastle win (2m1f) looks stiff; just the one go over this far to date.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) ![]() Scots Poet |
12/1(+14%) | (4) Scots Poet 12/1, Well handicapped again but has yet to fire this winter. Not firing since return from wind surgery, and new longest trip isn't necessarily a plus.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) ![]() Kally Des Bruyeres |
66/1(-267%) | (7) Kally Des Bruyeres 66/1, Much improved to spring a 200/1 surprise in 2m Huntingdon maiden hurdle in November but pulled up in a handicap at Newcastle since, folding tamely approaching straight. Tongue strap back on. 200-1 Huntingdon maiden winner in November (2m, good); only poor efforts before and since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (8) ![]() Maxiboy Dagrostis |
9/1(-50%) | (8) Maxiboy Dagrostis 9/1, Placed both starts in points and posted much his best effort yet under Rules when third of 8 in C&D novice hurdle in December. Proved disappointing on handicap bow at Wetherby last month but return to less testing conditions may see him in a better light. Tongue strap on first time. Handicap flop to forgive, but progressive before that and mark looks accommodating.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having got the better of a progressive rival when opening his account at Newcastle last month, there should be more to come from GWENNIE MAY STAR. An 8lb higher rating is unlikely to be the ceiling of the five-year-old's ability and this looks a suitable opportunity to complete a double. The consistent Diamond Koda is likely to give another good account judged on his latest close third at Catterick and Nick Kent's gelding is feared most, ahead of handicap debutant Benmore.
Dan Skelton's GWENNIE MAY STAR should have more to offer and is taken to defy the handicapper. The consistent Diamond Koda is second choice ahead of unexposed handicap newcomer Benmore.
A tongue tie may get the hitherto progressive MAXIBOY DAGROSTIS back on track. Benmore ought to figure if jumping better.

1st (5) ![]() Bravethewaves |
3/1(-20%) | (5) Bravethewaves 3/1, Maiden hurdler but off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Catterick last month under a confident ride. Not in same form when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Musselburgh on Sunday, his jumping none too fluent. Remains early days at least in this sphere. Ran no race on Sunday but probably on a fair mark if he can put his best foot forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) ![]() Coolmoyne |
4/1(+27%) | (4) Coolmoyne 4/1, Gained a deserved breakthrough success for Simon Waugh at Hexham last spring and posted a good second for his new handler in handicap chase at Sedgefield (26.3f, soft) in October. Disappointing he hasn't matched that level either start since but no forlorn hope in an open contest. Had wind op. On a competitive mark should wind surgery have had the desired effect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) ![]() Great Ballinboris |
17/2(-21%) | (6) Great Ballinboris 17/2, Hasn't stood much racing and having failed to make an impact over hurdles, it's been a similar story in handful of chase tries, well held after 7 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (24.2f) in November. Blinkers/tongue tie need to have positive effect now. Low-mileage 9yo who ran okay in his first chase but hasn't progressed; new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) ![]() Kap Auteuil |
8/1(+43%) | (1) Kap Auteuil 8/1, Useful chaser at best but losing run stretches back to March 2022 and, having offered little in a light 2023/24 campaign, he fared no better after 10 months off/fitted with a visor when pulled up at Stratford (22.6f) in October. Mark continues to tumble but he has it prove. Visor did nothing last time; off a vastly reduced mark but seemingly for good reason. |

5th (3) ![]() Valence D'aumont |
13/8(-18%) | (3) Valence D'aumont 13/8, Tumbled down the weights and, in line with yard's good form, he capitalised to register a game victory in 7-runner handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f) 3 weeks ago. Remains with plenty of handicapping scope on old form if he can back that up here. Was going nowhere but didn't go unbacked when winning at Catterick; just 3lb higher. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A few of these arrive with something to prove, but that can't be said for VALENCE D'AUMONT, who fought off younger legs to record a narrow success at Catterick last time out. The 11-year-old doesn't look overburdened by a subsequent 3lb rise and with ground conditions perhaps more suitable today, he can repeat the dose. Bravethewaves remains open to improvement over fences but he'll need to bounce back from a disappointing Musselburgh effort, while recent wind surgery could aid the chance of Coolmoyne.
Course winner PILGRIMS KING almost certainly benefited from the antics of the runner-up when opening his account for the season at Sedgefield 14 days ago. However, he was also deserving of credit in overcoming tack issues as he did on that occasion, and he's given the tentative vote to come out on top again. Coolmoyne, on the back of wind surgery and Catterick-scorer Valence d'Aumont are others to consider.
There appeared to be some confidence behind VALENCE D'AUMONT when he returned to form from out of the blue at Catterick.
Ths is the racecard key.
