---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (11/8 +21%) Mojo Ego |
11/8(+21%) | (2) Mojo Ego 11/8, Won on the Flat in France for Jean-Claude Rouget and runner-up on the second of 2 hurdle starts there last spring. Beaten 16 lengths when fourth in a Kempton juvenile on his debut for Harry Derham but he might strip fitter for the outing. Flat winner in France and 2nd there over hurdles; beaten 16l on UK debut but can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 -100%) Think First |
4/1(-100%) | (3) Think First 4/1, Useful Flat performer (stays 14.5f) for James Tate. Should be up to winning juvenile hurdles if taking to this new discipline. Useful Flat horse who should make a hurdler and was bought for 70,000gns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (6/5 +26%) Karaktere D'enfer |
6/5(+26%) | (1) Karaktere D'enfer 6/5, Promising sort. Close second of 11 to a useful sort in a newcomers races at Fontainebleau (15f, soft) in March. Interesting recruit for new connections. Went down narrowly in a 1m7f French maiden hurdle in March; completely unexposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Karaktere D'enfer finished a narrow second at Fontainebleau on his debut in March, when trained in France, and, though a similar effort ought to give him every chance, the vote instead goes to THINK FIRST. Neil Mulholland's new recruit was a more than useful performer on the Flat and he should be a tough nut to crack if taking to his new discipline. Mojo Ego has the most hurdling experience and connections will be hopeful that he can put it to good use.
Lady Gibbings and Tom Symonds have picked up some useful sorts from France in recent years and Fontainebleau runner-up KARAKTERE D'ENFER could be another. Talented Flat recruit Think First could give him plenty to think about if taking to hurdling, though.
Any of the three could win. THINK FIRST was quite useful on the Flat and stamina won't be an issue for hurdling.

1st (9) (17/2 +58%) Loudspeaker |
17/2(+58%) | (9) Loudspeaker 17/2, Fair middle-distance maiden on Flat and bought from Michael Bell's yard for 50,000 gns in July 2022. Failed to threaten in 5 starts switched to hurdles last season and possibly still needed the run when well held at Exeter last week. Now sent chasing. Has uninspiring record over hurdles and is not bred for chasing; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (15/2 -25%) Fanfan Du Seuil |
15/2(-25%) | (1) Fanfan Du Seuil 15/2, Losing run stretches back to November 2018, but proved that some ability remains intact when making the frame both starts over hurdles for new yard last season. Resumes over fences on a very attractive mark and dangerous to discount, for all that he's entitled to come on for the run. Made frame in both hurdles for stable but this chasing debut comes after a one-year layoff. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (28/1 -250%) Howyouplaythegame |
28/1(-250%) | (5) Howyouplaythegame 28/1, Looked limited over hurdles but much more like it switched to a handicap over fences and when 3 lengths second at Market Rasen in March. Tailed off having made errors on still more testing ground at Taunton later that month so tough to know what to expect on return. Not seen since March but ran big race in defeat on chase/handicap debut that month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/2 -100%) Guillaume |
11/2(-100%) | (2) Guillaume 11/2, Winning pointer who offered something to work on sent chasing when third in handicap at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) 7 months ago. May do better with that experience under his belt so is one to look out for on return. Placed at Sedgefield on chase/handicap debut in April; big player if tuned up after break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (9/2 -50%) Fearless Action |
9/2(-50%) | (3) Fearless Action 9/2, Confirmed the promise of his sole run in the summer tried in cheekpieces when opening his account in 9-runner handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, heavy) just under 3 weeks ago, albeit shaping only third best on the day. Likely to find things tougher here. Battled well to open account in first-time cheekpieces last month, his sixth chase start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/2 +44%) Key Factor |
9/2(+44%) | (7) Key Factor 9/2, Very little to shout about so far and offered little returning from 6 months off/a breathing operation when well-beaten fourth at Exeter (17.5f, soft) chasing debut. Remains early days, however. Respectable fourth on seasonal/chase debut; may fare better on this left-handed track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (7/2 -3%) Gone In Sixty |
7/2(-3%) | (4) Gone In Sixty 7/2, Remains a maiden, but going the right way over fences judged on his near miss in a handicap at Fontwell (17.8f, good) in October when pulling well clear of the rest. However, produced a below-par effort at Hereford 11 days ago so needs to get back on track quickly. Slightly disappointing on latest outing but last month's Fontwell second was a good effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (10) (12/1 +70%) Out For The Count |
12/1(+70%) | (10) Out For The Count 12/1, Disappointing over hurdles and tailed off on completed start over fences last time. Tailed off over 2m7f last month; sharply dropped back in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (14/1 +13%) Fox's Socks |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Fox's Socks 14/1, Mixed record over fences for Alex Hales but without headgear/back in a tongue strap, ran better than for a while when well-beaten third at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) in September. Handicapper given him a real chance. Made underwhelming stable debut ten weeks ago and now 0-7 over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (28/1 +30%) Solid Fuel |
28/1(+30%) | (8) Solid Fuel 28/1, Long-standing maiden who again showed little on second chase start when seventh of 10 in novices' handicap at Exeter (17.5f) 24 days ago. Others preferred. Soundly beaten in both chases last month and again out of the weights here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (80/1 -21%) Scottsdale |
80/1(-21%) | (11) Scottsdale 80/1, Last success came in 2019 and has rarely threatened in this sphere. Found to have bled at Sedgefield (19.3f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago and can only be watched from out of the weights again. Won over hurdles in 2019 but it's a long time since he showed any worthwhile form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FEARLESS ACTION was said to have benefitted from the application of first-time cheekpieces (retained) when winning at Kelso last month. A subsequent 5lb rise does not look overly harsh given the manner of that success and, should he handle quicker conditions, the son of Yeats could double up. Key Factor made a satisfactory chasing debut at Exeter last time out and he looks likely to take a step forward on his second outing following wind surgery, while Guillaume is also noted.
GONE IN SIXTY was going the right way over fences prior to disappointing at Hereford recently so Alex Hales' 6-y-o gets the tentative nod to open his account at the expense of Guillaume, who offered something to work on sent chasing when third at Sedgefield back in April and should have more to offer in this sphere. Fanfan du Seuil and Fox's Socks round off the shortlist.
It might pay to chance the fitness of GUILLAUME, who made a promising chase/handicap debut in April

1st (8) (13/2 +19%) Rascal |
13/2(+19%) | (8) Rascal 13/2, Too free when well held sole outing in bumpers but showed more switched to hurdling when third in 8-runner maiden at Warwick (1m) in May, albeit well positioned in a steadily-run race. Belied 50-1 odds when placed on hurdle debut at Warwrick in May; considered each-way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (8/1 +0%) Speaker Thomas |
8/1(+0%) | (10) Speaker Thomas 8/1, Point winner who left his previous Rules efforts behind sent hurdling in a first-time tongue strap (also had breathing op) when third in 6-runner novice at Worcester (2m) last month. Open to improvement in this sphere. Made fairly encouraging stable/hurdle debut last month but improvement needed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +0%) Inoui Machin |
2/1(+0%) | (3) Inoui Machin 2/1, Made it 2 wins from 3 starts in bumpers at Chepstow (2m) in April and is bred to make a useful jumper. Plenty to like. Won bumpers at Doncaster and Chepstow last season; good prospect for novice hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +25%) Easter Junction |
3/1(+25%) | (1) Easter Junction 3/1, Placed on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and ran to a fair level on his completed start over hurdles at Sedgefield last month, though was well positioned. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Displayed significant promise on both hurdle starts last month and has a big role to play. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (16/1 +0%) Mountain Pass |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Mountain Pass 16/1, Has a mixed pedigree and made a low-key start to his career in a Ludlow bumper for Oliver Sherwood in May. Beaten about 18l when fifth of sixth in very ordinary Plumpton bumper in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (22/1 -10%) Getaway Glory |
22/1(-10%) | (2) Getaway Glory 22/1, Winning Irish pointer with a good pedigree but was well held on his recent Ludlow hurdle debut. Most likely one for later. Irish point winner in April; well-beaten 40-1 shot on recent rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (50/1 -150%) Professor Higgins |
50/1(-150%) | (7) Professor Higgins 50/1, Showed fair form when placed on the first 2 of 3 starts in bumpers. Makes hurdles debut. Made the frame in two small-field bumpers; well beaten in deeper bumper last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (13/2 +35%) Little Peter |
13/2(+35%) | (5) Little Peter 13/2, Confirmed previous promise when winning 8-runner bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 60 days ago, keeping on gamely. Not bred for jumping but his attitude will stand him in good stead. Narrow winner of run-of-the-mill bumper in September; more will be needed on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (11/1 +31%) Ivegotdapower |
11/1(+31%) | (4) Ivegotdapower 11/1, £32,000 5-y-o, Imperial Monarch gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Meath All Star. Won final 2 starts in Irish points (latest May 14). Has joined a good yard ahead of Rules debut but Brian Hughes seemingly prefers Ester Junction. Eventually came good in Irish points with two wins in the spring; bought for £32,000. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Dual bumper winner INOUI MACHIN makes his hurdles debut and, being a half-brother to five winners over jumps, it would come as no surprise were he to make an immediate impact. Ivegotdapower arrives following back-to-back victories in the pointing sphere and might prove to be the selection's biggest danger. Samazul and Little Peter have each shown a fair level of ability in bumpers and both could feature, while Mountain Pass should not be underestimated either.
INOUI MACHIN laid a solid foundation in bumpers by winning 2 of his 3 starts and is bred to make a useful jumper, so he makes plenty of appeal. Fellow bumper scorers Samazul and Little Peter head the opposition.
Dual bumper winner INOUI MACHIN looks a good hurdling prospect and gets the nod.

1st (6) (15/2 +6%) Cartonne |
15/2(+6%) | (6) Cartonne 15/2, Appeared to go the wrong way over hurdles but good start to life in this sphere when bagging back-to-back handicap chases at Musselburgh. Pulled up on return at Carlisle but he's the sort to bounce back. Launched chase career with two wins in February/March but has a point to prove here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 -40%) Abaya Du Mathan |
7/2(-40%) | (7) Abaya Du Mathan 7/2, Dual winner of 19.4f handicap chases for David Pipe at Ffos Las this year. Good second for new yard in 2m Hereford handicap last time so he's very much one to consider off an unchanged mark. 3lb ahead of the handicapper after going close on recent stable debut at Hereford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +10%) Hardy Boy |
3/1(+10%) | (3) Hardy Boy 3/1, In good form over fences this term and not disgraced back over hurdles when fourth at Worcester (23f, soft, 11/2) 66 days ago. Can give another good account back in this sphere. Below form when switched back to hurdling last time but largely consistent over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 +50%) Tommy Cullen |
4/1(+50%) | (2) Tommy Cullen 4/1, Fair winner at 19f over hurdles but he came in last of 7 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good to firm) on debut over fences 38 days ago. Lots more is required. Course winner over hurdles; went off far too hard on recent seasonal/chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/4 +21%) Passing Reflection |
11/4(+21%) | (4) Passing Reflection 11/4, Fair hurdler who shaped well on his chasing debut when fourth at Ludlow 22 days ago, not knocked about. Open to progress. Player. Kept on from the rear for respectable fourth on chase debut; can build on that run here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (14/1 -250%) Jobesgreen Lad |
14/1(-250%) | (1) Jobesgreen Lad 14/1, Scored at Ludlow in December but let down by his jumping when fourth of 6 in handicap chase (9/1) at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft). Off 7 months and needs to hit the ground running. 4-10 over fences; off since below-par run in March; right-handed tracks may suit better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HARDY BOY hit the crossbar when last seen over fences in August and he followed that up with an underwhelming fourth at Worcester over the smaller obstacles last time. However, the return to this sphere off a 1lb lower mark could see him regain the winning thread. Passing Reflection finished fourth on her chase debut at Ludlow over a furlong further and could take a step forward, while Abaya Du Mathan is another to note.
Most of these can be given a chance but the vote goes to PASSING REFLECTION who seems sure to build on her considerate introduction to fences at Ludlow and remains with few miles on the clock. Abaya du Mathan is feared most off a handy-looking mark.
Alan King's PASSING REFLECTION tends to race too freely and is not without risk but big positives can be drawn from her chasing debut.

1st (7) (12/1 -20%) Maggie O |
12/1(-20%) | (7) Maggie O 12/1, Irish point winner matched the pick of her form under Rules when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Bangor (19.6f, good) 88 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Mark still looks shade stiff but others are preferred. 2nd in a maiden at Bangor; only seventh of nine on handicap debut; wind op and tongue-tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2/1 +20%) East End Girl |
2/1(+20%) | (1) East End Girl 2/1, Joined this yard from Lucy Wadham in the summer and benefited from a good position when resuming winning ways at Hereford (16.2f, good, 9/2) 24 days ago. Leading player from 3 lb higher mark. Back up 3lb after Hereford win but should be seriously involved in this weak race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7/1 -27%) Lady Berlais |
7/1(-27%) | (8) Lady Berlais 7/1, Well backed but proved to be a disappointment on her stable debut at Newton Abbot last month and ran only to similar level at Hereford last time. Blinkers need to spark revival. 0-8 for Tom Symonds and soundly beaten in her two handicaps (2m5f/3m1f) for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (40/1 -100%) Riccirella |
40/1(-100%) | (10) Riccirella 40/1, Has shown nothing over hurdles other than a tendency to pull hard and looks impossible to fancy. Runner-up in bumper at Southwell in June but she's struggled over hurdles; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 -17%) Lenebane |
14/1(-17%) | (5) Lenebane 14/1, Some promise when third on handicap debut at Market Rasen in May but folded worrying tamely both subsequent outings there. Lots to prove with cheekpieces back on. Bits of form make her look well handicapped but there have also been some heavy defeats. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/2 -10%) Regally Blonde |
11/2(-10%) | (2) Regally Blonde 11/2, Fairly useful Flat winner in Ireland for Andrew Oliver showed more than previously over hurdles when third at Chepstow in April. Likely has more to come now handicapping and she's respected with recent Flat run under her belt. 1m5f Flat winner; modest over hurdles for new yard this January-April; recent Flat fifth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (33/1 +0%) Rhyme Scheme |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Rhyme Scheme 33/1, Regressive on the Flat and has continued to go the wrong way over hurdles. Dual Flat winner in 2021 but little to cheer since, including eight starts over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (80/1 -100%) Minnie Beets |
80/1(-100%) | (3) Minnie Beets 80/1, Little show in 5 starts for Gordon Elliott and fared no better on yard debut when down the field at Warwick last week. Hard to fancy. Showed little for Gordon Elliott in Ireland and same on debut for new yard nine days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (11/1 +21%) Vision Of Hope |
11/1(+21%) | (4) Vision Of Hope 11/1, Recorded narrow successes at Huntingdon and Market Rasen in the summer but last 2 efforts haven't been as encouraging. Has since left James Owen and others are preferred. Won in May/June; off the boil before leaving James Owen for 8,000gns; headgear removed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (3/1 +10%) Luna Dora |
3/1(+10%) | (9) Luna Dora 3/1, Ready winner at Fakenham in April and ran well on return from 4-month break when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Makes plenty of appeal. Back-to-form second of 14 at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month after a summer break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (28/1 -250%) Luckie Money |
28/1(-250%) | (6) Luckie Money 28/1, Just poor form in 3 starts over hurdles to date, well beaten at Worcester last time out. Tongue strap goes on for handicap debut and improvement is needed. A little ability first two starts; tailed off latest; wind surgery and also tongue tied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EAST END GIRL accounted for her nearest rival by a length and a half in this grade at Hereford last month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put her up 3lb for that victory. The daughter of Youmzain is the one to beat. The main threat is Luna Dora, who was only denied by just over two lengths into second at Uttoxeter last time. Of the remainder, Luckie Money makes the most appeal on her handicap bow.
LUNA DORA was as good as ever on return at Uttoxeter last month and she's narrowly fancied to get the better of last-time-out Hereford winner East End Girl. Regally Blonde looks open to improvement in handicaps and can round off the placings.
It looks as if EAST END GIRL (nap) and Luna Dora with their recent achievements present clearly the most solid claims.

1st (3) (5/2 -11%) Gaboriot |
5/2(-11%) | (3) Gaboriot 5/2, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark compared to his early days chasing in France as he won 3m Kempton handicap 4 weeks ago, holding on gamely. Can go well again up 3 lb. Suited by the return to handicap level last time; may build on that Kempton win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/1 +56%) Head On |
7/1(+56%) | (8) Head On 7/1, Won 3 handicap chases in the early stages of the 2021-22 season. Easy to back and went with little short-term encouragement tried without a tongue strap after 19 months off at Bangor 7 weeks ago and bit to prove. May be sharper for latest run; nicely weighted off last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (11/4 +0%) Crystal Moon |
11/4(+0%) | (7) Crystal Moon 11/4, Jumped better as he got off the mark in 3m Huntingdon handicap chase on Boxing Day. That wasn't much of a race but unlikely this will take much winning either, so he's considered up 7 lb. Won at Huntingdon when last seen and looks open to further improvement over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 +31%) Gentle Frank |
9/2(+31%) | (1) Gentle Frank 9/2, Course novice hurdle winner who could do better now going chasing up in distance. One to note on his return. Hurdles win came at this track; interesting back here on chase/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (14/1 +44%) Lepashe |
14/1(+44%) | (5) Lepashe 14/1, Point winner/fair hurdler who offered little tried chasing after 6 months off at Huntingdon recently. Yard remains quiet. Return to Doncaster may help, having posted best hurdles efforts at this course. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +14%) Crossing The Bar |
12/1(+14%) | (2) Crossing The Bar 12/1, Successful twice over hurdles at Plumpton (both at 25f) during second half of last season. Probably needed the run after 6 months off but still went with little short-term encouragement sent chasing at Newton Abbot 4 weeks ago. Well below par in two outings this season, latest switched to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (7/1 -75%) Brave Starlight |
7/1(-75%) | (6) Brave Starlight 7/1, Winning Irish pointer placed on 2 of his 3 starts in hunters but no show on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Could do better back chasing and one to note with Brian Hughes up. Ran respectably in notable event on most recent chase start; may progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero team can do very little wrong at present and they appear to have a strong chance to continue their fine run of form with GABORIOT. A winner at Kempton last month when returning from a break, the seven-year-old could have more to offer racing off a 3lb higher mark. Crystal Moon has gone well fresh in the past and is open to improvement on just his third start over fences, while Brave Starlight is expected to leave behind his Exeter run over timber.
GABORIOT battled well to score at Kempton and remains well treated on the pick of his French form so could be good for the follow up. Crystal Moon, Brave Starlight and Gentle Frank can also have good cases made for them in a race that may not take much winning.
Back at the scene of his hurdles success, interesting chase debutant GENTLE FRANK gets the vote. Gaboriot is second choice.

1st (1) (6/1 +0%) Immortal Fame |
6/1(+0%) | (1) Immortal Fame 6/1, Successful 3 times during 2021/22 campaign and, though winless last term, he made a positive start to this season when runner-up at Chepstow (19.4f, soft). 2 lb nudge fair enough and likely to be in the mix. Has a record of 3-4 in 2m4f/2m5f contests over hurdles; major claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/2 +46%) Burrows Hall |
7/2(+46%) | (8) Burrows Hall 7/2, Followed Carlisle breakthrough success in April with a dismal display at Hexham, but that run can probably be excused (found to have bled). Back on track returned to Carlisle (17.2f, soft) on his reappearance and shapes as though worth another try at this sort of trip. Chance. Creditable third over 2m1f at Carlisle on reappearance; could go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3/1 +33%) Zwicky |
3/1(+33%) | (2) Zwicky 3/1, Highly progressive handicap hurdler who made it three from his last four in smooth style at Carlisle last month. Should get a decent pace to aim at here and, with further progress on the cards, a 4 lb rise may not stop him. 2-2 this term, winning at Sedgefield and Carlisle; improving sort; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (15/2 -67%) Nickelforce |
15/2(-67%) | (9) Nickelforce 15/2, Yet to get his head in front, but he's a lightly-raced 4-y-o and it's surely a matter of time before he puts that right judged on his solid latest effort with the hood refitted at Hereford (21.7f, good to firm) where he chased home a well-handicapped rival. Big player. Solid second at Hereford last month; open to further progress in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (40/1 -21%) Magna Moralia |
40/1(-21%) | (14) Magna Moralia 40/1, Sole success from 17 starts in this sphere was registered back in April 2021. Mixed bag since and while he was runner-up twice in handicaps during the summer, a bounce back is needed following low-key efforts on his last 2 starts. 0-11 and inconsistent for current stable; not sure what to expect. |

6th (10) (7/1 +42%) What A Steal |
7/1(+42%) | (10) What A Steal 7/1, Showed fair form in a couple of bumpers and bettered his first 2 starts in this sphere when third in a 15f Wincanton maiden in February. Shaped as though amiss in a first-time tongue strap on subsequent handicap bow at Perth and has since undergone a wind op. Had wind surgery since last run; may progress this season. |

7th (11) (12/1 -9%) Mister Barclay |
12/1(-9%) | (11) Mister Barclay 12/1, Failed to trouble the judge first 3 starts over hurdles, but had the look of one who may do better in handicaps and duly confirmed that impression when third on handicap bow at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) in April. Step back up in trip looks a good move and he's worth a second look. Promising handicap debut at Hereford on last appearance; one to consider. |

8th (5) (25/1 -213%) Ambassador |
25/1(-213%) | (5) Ambassador 25/1, Left Martin Keighley on the back of a win in July and made it 2 wins from 3 first starts for current connections at Kelso in September. Not disgraced back on the Flat recently, but will likely find one or two too good here. 2-4 over hurdles for current stable but has stamina to prove upped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (22/1 +12%) No Worries |
22/1(+12%) | (16) No Worries 22/1, Won 3 times over hurdles in 2021/22 season and struck on Ludlow chase debut last November. Let down by his jumping/attitude since then, although his latest run back hurdling can be ignored (hampered and nearly unseated 3 out), others make more appeal. Poor effort returned to hurdles six weeks ago; opposed. |

10th (4) (100/1 -400%) Monty Nevett |
100/1(-400%) | (4) Monty Nevett 100/1, Stepped up on what he showed in bumpers/on hurdles debut when a close third in an 8-runner Newcastle novice in May. However, no show upped to this trip Hexham the following month and big step forward needed now handicapping. Looked a non-stayer over 2m4f last time out; has a stamina doubt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (28/1 +30%) Bergentown |
28/1(+30%) | (13) Bergentown 28/1, Little worthwhile form in 16 starts over hurdles in Ireland, but left those efforts well behind when making a winning start for this yard at Bangor in June. He hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 4 subsequent outings, though. Has totally failed to build on Bangor success; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (40/1 +20%) Rainbow Jet |
40/1(+20%) | (15) Rainbow Jet 40/1, Winner of just one of his 23 starts on the Flat and hurdles record stands at 0-8. First-flight faller when last see in this sphere in May and it's easy enough to look elsewhere in search of the likely winner. Flat winner who has unconvincing hurdles form. |

|PU| (3) (6/1 +14%) Well Vicky |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Well Vicky 6/1, Won her first 3 handicaps last term, the latest off a 7 lb lower mark at Plumpton in February. Good form came to a halt in a warm race at Cheltenham when last seen during the spring, but it would be no surprise to see her resume her progression this season. 3-3 in Class 5, namely a February hat-trick; possibilities back in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (40/1 -60%) Miss Mahmite |
40/1(-60%) | (7) Miss Mahmite 40/1, Showed a bit more when second in a slowly-run 19.4f novice here in November 2020. However, pulled up both subsequent starts and wellbeing needs taking on trust following a 960-day absence ahead of this debut for new yard. Returning from a long absence and debuting for new yard; market can guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (40/1 +0%) Seaborough |
40/1(+0%) | (12) Seaborough 40/1, Back down to the mark off which he gained his latest success at Uttoxeter in September 2022. However, failed to fire on latest hurdles start during the summer and efforts on the Flat either side of that haven't been inspiring either. Exposed 8yo who has poor claims on 2023 form (Flat/hurdles). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Zwicky commands the utmost respect in search of a fourth victory from his last five starts and the six-year-old has the advantage of Joe Williamson's claim negating the 4lb rise for his Carlisle success last month. The vote, though, goes to NICKELFORCE, who benefited from a first-time hood when runner-up at Hereford and a more galloping track on this occasion may help. Others to consider are Mister Barclay and Immortal Fame.
NICKELFORCE and Zwicky are both heading in the right direction and could be the pair to focus on here. The latter proved that he is comfortable in this big-field scenario when scoring at Carlisle and is not passed over at all lightly in his hat-trick attempt. However, Nickelforce bumped into a well-handicapped rival at Hereford (form which has been boosted by the subsequent win of the third) and he is marginally preferred. Burrows Hall and Immortal Fame are others with a chance.
Hereford runner-up NICKELFORCE, an unexposed sort, is taken to go one better. Mister Barclay is second choice.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
