1st (1)  (7/4 -75%)Salver |
7/4(-75%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Salver 7/4, Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler Saldier. Down the field in a maiden on the Flat in Italy in the spring but a totally different proposition when overcoming inexperience to make a winning start over hurdles at Warwick 19 days ago. Useful prospect. Half-brother smart hurdler Saldier; should build on Warwick success; respected. |
|||
2nd (9)  (2/1 +56%)Valadon |
2/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Valadon 2/1, Vadamos gelding. Half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Venice Biennale. Dam unraced. Noteworthy newcomer. 29,000gns yearling; half-brother to a 1m2f winner; market instructive on debut. |
|||
3rd (2)  (7/2 +46%)Authoceltic |
7/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Authoceltic 7/2, Authorized colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Saint Segal and bumper winner Celtic Dino. Yard won the race last year. Interesting runner, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Siblings include useful stablemate Saint Segal who won on debut; interesting newcomer. |
|||
4th (8)  (28/1 +44%)Taritino |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Taritino 28/1, Fair on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Amy Murphy. New stable acquired him for 4,000 gns last month. Hurdle debut. 7f winner on Flat for Amy Murphy; sold for 4,000gns since last run. |
|||
5th (6)  (33/1 +0%)Kauto Kawai |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kauto Kawai 33/1, Modest form when second in a claiming hurdle in France in September and comfortably held in juveniles at Kempton and Warwick for new yard in recent weeks. Hood off, first-time tongue tie on. Soundly beaten in two British starts; now goes in tongue-tie. |
|||
6th (5)  (11/2 -120%)Johannes |
11/2(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Johannes 11/2, Fair form when successful in 2m minor event (by 9½ lengths) on Flat in France in April. Sold for €62,000 later in April. Tongue tie fitted. Interesting runner. Easy Flat success at Saumur on sole French run; potentially useful recruit. |
|||
7th (10)  (66/1 +0%)Parish Star |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Parish Star 66/1, Modest on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and didn't achieve much when a remote fourth of 7 on his Chepstow hurdle debut 6 weeks ago. Swerved and unseated first at Cheltenham last weekend. First-time headgear combination fitted on the back of that. Modest fourth at Chepstow then unseated rider early in Cheltenham Grade 2. |
|||
8th (7)  (66/1 -230%)Pivotal Sky |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pivotal Sky 66/1, 40/1, didn't achieve much when a well-held third in 2m Ludlow juvenile hurdle on debut. Cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained. Only a modest third at Ludlow on debut; needs to improve plenty. |
|||
9th (3)  (150/1 -50%)Future Times |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Future Times 150/1, Modest maiden on the Flat for Jedd O'Keeffe. Watching brief advised on hurdle debut. Modest maiden on Flat for Jedd O'Keeffe; sold for £3,500 since last run. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (80/1 -142%)Garrick Street |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Garrick Street 80/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for Andrew Balding. Sold for £7,000 ahead of this switch to hurdles for new yard. Ordinary maiden on Flat for Andrew Balding; sold for £7,000 since last run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SALVER, who is a half-brother to the Grade 1 winner Saldier, created a big impression when winning on his UK/hurdles debut at Warwick recently and he is hard to oppose as a result, despite carrying a 7lb penalty. Johannes has to be of interest having scored on the level in France, while Valadon and Authoceltic are others who make the shortlist.
SALVER looked potentially useful when scoring on his Warwick hurdle debut and is taken to make light of his penalty. French Flat winner Johannes looks a likely type for a race like this, while Valadon and Authoceltic are newcomers with plenty to recommend them on paper.
Warwick winner SALVER is the form pick. French Flat scorer Johannes and interesting newcomer Authoceltic look the main threats.

1st (2)  (7/1 +56%)Don't Rightly Know |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Don't Rightly Know 7/1, Point winner who left Rules debut behind when runner-up back from 14 months off in 22.2f Uttoxeter novice in December 2021, rallying for second run-in. Off a further 23 months so clearly been difficult to train. Uttoxeter second (2m6f, good to soft) in December 2021 looked promising; absent 709 days. |
|||
2nd (1)  (8/11 +47%)Getaway Theatre |
8/11(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Getaway Theatre 8/11, €3,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Dam (c134/h124), 2½m-3m hurdle/chase winner, closely related to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Clan Tara. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt in April and well suited by emphasis on stamina when making winning hurdles bow over 22f at Stratford 3 weeks ago. Won Irish point (3m, soft) in April and maiden hurdle at Stratford (2m6f, soft) this month. |
|||
3rd (4)  (33/1 +50%)Kayf Hope |
33/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kayf Hope 33/1, Cost £55,000 after winning an Irish point in November. Too keen to last out in a Southwell bumper in March and must settle upped markedly in trip for hurdles debut. Irish point win; soundly beaten, making most, in Southwell bumper (good to soft) in March. |
|||
4th (6)  (80/1 -21%)Nomoreblackjack |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nomoreblackjack 80/1, Third on first of 2 starts in points but looks a low-level handicap project judged on level achieved under Rules so far. Well beaten in two maiden points, a bumper and 1m7f maiden hurdle. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/2 -340%)Hamartia |
11/2(-340%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hamartia 11/2, Placed twice in maiden company in Ireland for Colm Murphy. Fell when last seen in July but this looks a reasonable starting point for her British career. Up in trip. Placed in maiden hurdles at 2m3f/2m5f for Colm Murphy in Ireland; should stay; player. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (7/2 +13%)Von Hallers |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Von Hallers 7/2, Presenting mare who is a half-sister to bumper winner/fair 19f hurdle winner Blue Hop. Winner of the second of her 2 starts between the flags and still in contention when departing through no fault of her own on hurdles bow last month. Tongue tie on. Won an Irish point; she'd been headed when hampered and unseating in 2m5f Ludlow novice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GETAWAY THEATRE confirmed the promise that she had displayed between the flags when winning on her Rules debut at Stratford earlier in the month and she could prove hard to beat once again with improvement likely. Hamartia has to be of interest on her first start for Neil Mulholland, while Von Hallers and Don't Rightly Know are the pick of the remainder.
Stamina is clearly GETAWAY THEATRE's forte following a gritty win on hurdles debut at Stratford 3 weeks ago and, kept to her own sex, she's capable of successfully defying a penalty. Hamartia is bred to stay well so is feared upped in trip starting out for a new yard, while Von Hallers will hopefully show what she's capable of this time.
Getaway Theatre should have a big say but this may be the right opportunity for HAMARTIA to build on her placed efforts in Ireland.

1st (7)  (11/1 +31%)Moriko De Vassy |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Moriko De Vassy 11/1, Bumper winner who was 2-4 over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign. Failed to progress from promising chase debut in 2 subsequent runs over fences last term, though, and made a low-key start for this yard back over hurdles on return. Well treated on Wetherby effort last November; nowhere near that form since. |
|||
2nd (6)  (5/1 -82%)Amrons Sage |
5/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Amrons Sage 5/1, Won sole outing in Irish points and progressive winner over hurdles last season. Type to make a better chaser so much respected. Should take well to chasing; one of two interesting contenders for Nicky Henderson. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/2 -10%)Kilbeg King |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kilbeg King 11/2, Point winner who landed only start in bumpers and, following a lengthy absence, made rapid strides over hurdles last term, making it 3 wins from 5 starts in 25-runner Punchestown handicap. Should reach similar heights over fences with his debut/comeback run at Warwick under his belt. Should still have more to offer; interesting with Warwick reappearance under his belt. |
|||
4th (5)  (4/1 +27%)Issuing Authority |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Issuing Authority 4/1, Flemensfirth gelding from a good family. Runner-up in Irish points at second attempt and forged clear to land 5-runner bumper at Uttoxeter. Fairly useful form when placed all 4 starts over hurdles and bred to make a better chaser. May start to progress now he turns his attention to chasing; still of interest. |
|||
5th (8)  (10/3 +26%)Hermes Du Gouet |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hermes Du Gouet 10/3, Point winner who was much improved when making all in 16.7f Exeter novice hurdle in January. Solid effort when third at Plumpton next time but failed to meet expectations on handicap debut at Wincanton when last seen in April. Should make a better chaser and yard remain in fine form. Returns to the scene of his hurdles win; should be suited by rules fences; one to note. |
|||
6th (3)  (20/1 -233%)Bumpy Johnson |
20/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bumpy Johnson 20/1, Won pair of 2½m Ffos Las handicap hurdles in a productive 2022/3 campaign. Tackles fences for the first time on his return (fell sole outing in points). Progressive in handicap hurdles; likely player granted clear round (fell in Irish point). |
|||
|U| (9)  (12/1 +0%)I Shut That D'Or |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) I Shut That D'Or 12/1, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Shaped as if better for the run in first-time tongue strap after 8 months off when remote third of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, good) on debut over fences 50 days ago. 1 lb out of handicap. No further progress in two handicaps; others appear to be brighter prospects. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (11/2 +21%)Manorbank |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Manorbank 11/2, Bumper winner on debut. Evidently had his problems since but making up for lost time, much improved to win novice hurdles in the spring. Decent start over fences when third at Ffos Las on handicap bow/return 6 weeks ago and entitled to improve on that. Respectable third in similar event at Ffos Las six weeks ago; open to further progress. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (28/1 -100%)Jerrash |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jerrash 28/1, Back on track following 11 months off when successful at Plumpton (25f) in January but has failed to build on that, making a discouraging chasing debut at Fontwell when last seen in May. Hurdles winner off this mark; possibilities if back to that form; second chase run. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
KILBEG KING has to give plenty of weight away here but he was an impressive winner of a valuable handicap hurdle at Punchestown in April and that form gives him a big chance at this level. The consistent Issuing Authority has to be of interest on his return to action and mark of 122 should be workable for the son of Flemensfirth. Amrons Sage is another with strong form claims and Manorbank should not be underestimated either.
AMRONS SAGE was progressive over hurdles last season and this Irish point winner will surely do even better over fences being from the family of connections' very smart chaser Beware The Bear, so he could be worth chancing on return. Manorbank and Kilbeg King were also progressive over timber and both should come on for their comeback run/chase debut, while Hermes du Gouet is another interesting newcomer to this sphere.
Topweight KILBEG KING is first choice ahead of the Henderson runners Amrons Sage (narrow second choice) and Issuing Authority.

1st (1)  (7/2 -75%)King Alexander |
7/2(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) King Alexander 7/2, Looked potentially useful when winning bumper on debut and recorded back-to-back wins over hurdles in the spring, scoring easily in a Ffos Las novice (20f) in May. Running creditably when falling at Market Rasen the following month, so he's not one to take lightly. Has form figures of 11F since having wind surgery, running creditably when falling latest. |
|||
2nd (6)  (5/1 +29%)Astronomic View |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Astronomic View 5/1, Successful in bumper at this course and showed plenty to work on making his hurdles debut at Ffos Las a year ago. Failed to progress from that effort next time, but after a further 6 months off he ran well when third in novice here (21.6f) 16 days ago. More needed now handicapping. Has respectable Exeter form; open to progress now handicapping; interesting contender. |
|||
3rd (7)  (7/2 +56%)King Of The Lake |
7/2(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) King Of The Lake 7/2, Promising start to his career when runner-up in a Wincanton maiden hurdle in March. Below expectations when filling the same position at Newton Abbot next time, but back to more like his debut form when second again at this C&D last month. Remains with potential on his handicap bow. Clear second in C&D maiden last time, taking form figures to 222; could well go one better. |
|||
4th (5)  (16/1 -167%)Winterwatch |
16/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Winterwatch 16/1, Three-time winner on the Flat but ran poorly at Goodwood in August, before disappointing back over hurdles in a Worcester novice (2m) later the same month. However, runner-up in his only previous handicap hurdle, so he could still have more to offer in this sphere. Disappointing favourite last time out; favourably treated judged on peak Flat form. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/2 +15%)Mot A Mot |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mot A Mot 11/2, Made a winning hurdles debut at Worcester in 2021/22 and, having left Nicky Henderson, ended the season with success in a Newbury handicap (18.8f). Pulled up over fences on his only outing since, but he's interesting back over hurdles despite his lengthy absence. Absent for 13 months; market may prove best guide on return to action. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (5/2 +9%)Tarahumara |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tarahumara 5/2, After 6 months off, made it 3 wins from 4 starts over hurdles when landing 17-runner handicap at Warwick (2m) 19 days ago, kept up to work having idled approaching the last. Still unexposed and he looks to hold leading claims. Improving sort who is 3-4 over hurdles; has seemed best fresh but is otherwise respected. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (25/1 -79%)On To Victory |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) On To Victory 25/1, Form went the wrong way on the Flat in 2022 and well held back over hurdles last December. However, from a sliding mark he got back on track when making the frame in handicap at Haydock (18.8f) in March. Task is now to pick up where he left off on his return. Seems past his best and doesn't look solid on 2022/2023 form (Flat/hurdles). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Tarahumara merits the utmost respect in his bid for a hat-trick but an 8lb rise for his latest win and a step up in class could leave him vulnerable. With that in mind, preference is for the unexposed KING OF THE LAKE, who hit the crossbar in a novice event over C&D last month. A mark of 111 should be within his compass with further progression likely. Cases can be made for all of the remainder but King Alexander is the pick of them.
TARAHUMARA has made a bright start to his hurdling career, showing much improved form when making all in a big-field Warwick handicap last time, so he is taken to add to his tally with further progress to come. King Alexander could also still have more to offer for his leading yard and is respected, with Mot A Mot the pick of the remainder.
Interesting handicap debutants KING OF THE LAKE and Astronomic View head the shortlist, ahead of Tarahumara.

1st (12)  (11/4 +21%)Asian Spice |
11/4(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Asian Spice 11/4, 28/1, much irmpoved on her handicap bow when landing 16-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 16 days ago, holding on gamely after making her move around the entire field. Up 6 lb but still weighted to go close. Off the mark in C&D contest this month on handicap debut; respected up 6lb. |
|||
2nd (6)  (3/1 -9%)Ito Ditto |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ito Ditto 3/1, Returned from 7 months off much improved with a maiden win in 12-runner handicap hurdle (8/1) at Chepstow (16f, soft) 26 days ago. Merits consideration despite a 8 lb rise. Made all for comfortable win at Chepstow on seasonal debut; shortlisted. |
|||
3rd (11)  (66/1 +0%)Tribesmans Glory |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tribesmans Glory 66/1, Fair winning chaser for Tom George in 2020. Lightly raced since and below par over hurdles at Newton Abbot for new yard when last seen out 13 months ago. Hard to fancy. Unconvincing record over hurdles and lacks recent match practice. |
|||
4th (9)  (11/1 +67%)John W Creasy |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) John W Creasy 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1, first run since leaving Ms Margaret Mullins when tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (19.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Soundly beaten at Ascot on debut for new stable. |
|||
5th (10)  (33/1 -65%)Universal Secret |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Universal Secret 33/1, Dual 15f scorer at Wincanton in the spring but tongue tied/had wind surgery before being pulled up there on his return last month. Plenty more is required. Scored at Wincanton in February/March; below that form since. |
|||
6th (1)  (22/1 -57%)Interne De Sivola |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Interne De Sivola 22/1, Dual juvenile hurdle winner for Nick Williams during 2021/22 campaign. Didn't take to fences last season and pulled up at Warwick back hurdling on his return. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Pulled up the last twice; first-time headgear needs to spark a revival. |
|||
7th (7)  (11/2 -10%)Fourofakind |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fourofakind 11/2, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and scored over hurdles for new stable at Haydock in March. Had wind op before pulled up in handicap hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft) on return though so something to prove now. May turn things around on second run since wind surgery; not written off. |
|||
8th (13)  (25/1 +50%)Flamenco De Kerser |
25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Flamenco De Kerser 25/1, Successful once from 5 starts between the flags but he's winless under Rules and looks set for another struggle from 4 lb out of the handicap. Holds weak claims on recent form. |
|||
9th (8)  (7/1 -27%)Gerard Mentor |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gerard Mentor 7/1, C&D winner who arrives in good nick, sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Has form figures of 2412 at Exeter; possibilities back here. |
|||
|F| (2)  (9/1 -100%)Orchard Grove |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Orchard Grove 9/1, Four-time winner in 2021 but off 16 months since posting a good third in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f). Handily weighted but the market can prove a good guide. Absent since running well at Bangor 16 months ago; market can guide. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (12/1 +14%)Max's Champ |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Max's Champ 12/1, Blinkered/tongue strap on for 1st time when good second in novice hurdle at Hereford (19.7f) in April. Well below par on handicap debut at Warwick 19 days ago but should strip fitter now. May improve with Warwick reappearance under his belt. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (28/1 -40%)Stopherandgo |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stopherandgo 28/1, Wincanton novice hurdle winner before posting a very good second in 2m novice at Ludlow. Only sixth on handicap debut at Stratford final start for Claire Harris and others look better treated at these weights. Bit to prove in this field on debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ITO DITTO benefited from a switch to front-running tactics when gaining a first career success at Chepstow and an 8lb rise is unlikely to stop him from progressing again. Asian Spice won here earlier in the month and has to enter the reckoning, especially with the booking of Harry Cobden, while others to consider include Gerard Mentor and Heure De Gloire.
ASIAN SPICE took a big step forward on her handicap bow when getting off the mark over C&D and a 6 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent Jimmy Frost's mare from following up. C&D scorer Gerard Mentor comes here in good nick and is next on the list ahead of recent Chepstow victor Ito Ditto. Orchard Grove is worth a market check after a long absence too.
Recent C&D winner ASIAN SPICE is taken to follow up. Second choice is Gerard Mentor, ahead of Ito Ditto.

1st (8)  (7/4 +22%)Enjoy Your Life |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Enjoy Your Life 7/4, Fairly useful ex-French winning hurdler/chaser who showed bundles of enthusiasm back from 6 months off when second over fences at Wincanton (20f) 2 weeks ago. Worth siding with to build on that back up in trip. Second of 12 in handicap at Wincanton (2m4f) 15 days ago for his in-form stable. |
|||
2nd (5)  (11/4 +58%)Atlanta Brave |
11/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Atlanta Brave 11/4, Irish point winner who was 2-4 over hurdles last season and despite being well supported, he shaped as if needing the run when fifth of 9 on return/handicap chase debut at Cheltenham (19.7f) in October. Remains the type to do better in this sphere (successful sole start in points). Did not live up to market billing in his two handicaps, latest over fences; early days. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/1 -64%)Mumbo Jumbo |
9/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mumbo Jumbo 9/1, Yet to win a race of any description but ended last term with a good second in novice handicap company at Taunton (23f, heavy) in March. Let down by jumping when falling on return at Newbury (23.4f) 17 days ago though and others make more appeal on balance. 2nd over about 2m7f in two of his five attempts over fences; unseated on reappearance. |
|||
4th (4)  (7/1 +30%)Run To Milan |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Run To Milan 7/1, All 3 career victories have come at this venue, the latest over C&D in February of last year. Winless last term but confirmed he retains plenty of ability back from 7 months off when fourth in a C&D handicap 16 days ago. Assessor has relinquished a little more. 11yo who's edging down the weights and prominent in calculations; all three wins here. |
|||
5th (1)  (20/1 -186%)Landen Calling |
20/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Landen Calling 20/1, Largely progressive over hurdles and run out a facile winner on chase debut at Bangor (3m) in May. Runner-up both starts thereafter in small-field contests and not discounted back from 4 months off. 122 in his three chases, all very small fields; all his significant form is on good ground. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (7/1 +50%)Sheldon |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sheldon 7/1, Bagged his second chase win here (19.2f) on New Year's Day and plenty of good efforts in defeat thereafter, looking likely winner when falling last at Stratford (22.5f) in May. Never figured on hurdles return in October and he does need to brush up his jumping returned to larger obstacles. Led when last-fence faller at Stratford (2m6f) in May; beaten 40l over hurdles last month. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (12/1 -167%)Investment Manager |
12/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Investment Manager 12/1, Enjoyed a productive summer over fences at Newton Abbot, winning twice at up to 25.7f. Filled runners-up spot all 3 starts since and no surprise to see him give another good account for all this rates tougher than of late. Solid sequence at Newton Abbot; also won here in April and should be on the premises. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (18/1 -200%)Bridge North |
18/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bridge North 18/1, Very useful hurdler who made a winning start over fences in 3-runner handicap chase at Newbury (23.4f, soft) in March. Fell at Perth a month later though and made mistakes early and never figured when pulled up on return at Huntingdon (23.6f) 3 weeks ago. Won on chase debut but his jumping left something to be desired on both starts since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
RUN TO MILAN tends to save his best for this track, with all three career victories coming here, and the 11-year-old is entitled to build on his return when fourth over C&D earlier in the month. Investment Manager has been in consistent form throughout the last few months and the seven-year-old commands plenty of respect. Atlanta Brave was outpaced on his chasing bow at Cheltenham and is expected to appreciate a step up in trip.
ENJOY YOUR LIFE went with plenty of zest and highlighted he's ready to strike when runner-up back from 6 months off at Wincanton (20.2f) 2 weeks ago and, back up in trip, he can prove himself on a handy mark. Atlanta Brave remains the type to do better in this sphere and is expected to be sharper for his Cheltenham return effort. Run to Milan and Investment Manager complete the shortlist.
Enjoy Your Life runs for in-form Venetia Williams but RUN TO MILAN also looks set to go well and he has nothing to prove over C&D.

1st (1)  (6/4 +40%)Danton |
6/4(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Danton 6/4, Promising type who made an encouraging start to his handicap career when second of 16 on his 17f course reappearance. Step up in trip promise to suit. Leading claims with further improvement on the cards. Finished nicely for close second over 2m here on reappearance; could well go one better. |
|||
2nd (8)  (11/1 +67%)Call Me Arthur |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Call Me Arthur 11/1, Hasn't shown a great deal in 5 starts around 2m, including 2 handicaps this season 6 months apart. The longer trip this afternoon needs to spark improvement. New trip is a possible source of improvement; Harry Cobden booked; not without hope. |
|||
3rd (9)  (8/1 -45%)Malago Rose |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Malago Rose 8/1, Has shown a bit of promise in her 4 hurdles, including third on 2½m Worcester handicap debut in September. Has the potential for better as her stamina is drawn out. Six-race maiden; form has been heading in the right direction; possibilities. |
|||
4th (11)  (18/1 +28%)Ginderella |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Ginderella 18/1, Poor form but showed he can be competitive from his basement mark when third on 19.5f Chepstow handicap debut in April. Might have needed the run when well-held fifth on Uttoxeter reappearance 8 days ago. Modest fifth on heavy going last weekend; return to forecast better ground may help. |
|||
5th (6)  (12/1 +25%)Joe Cotton |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Joe Cotton 12/1, Dual point winner. Has hinted at ability in his qualifying runs (may have needed the run last time after a 5-month break) and could come into his own now handicapping. May be one for chasing in due course but is a possible improver on handicap debut. |
|||
6th (7)  (16/1 +0%)Hellfire Princess |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hellfire Princess 16/1, Bumper winner on debut in January 2022 and performed well on a couple of occasions over hurdles, most notably when third over 3m at Chepstow (good to soft) in April. However, disappointed at Stratford the following month and needs to raise her game now equipped with cheekpieces on her return. May bounce back if she takes well to first-time headgear. |
|||
7th (4)  (14/1 -115%)Lock Out |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lock Out 14/1, Point winner who also won bumper/novice hurdle on his first 2 starts under Rules. Hasn't kicked on from that but may appreciate the return to hurdles after failing to take to fences in recent weeks and he's now a good deal lower than when third in a couple of handicap hurdles last winter. Below best over fences this term; could revive off a reduced mark back over hurdles. |
|||
8th (15)  (66/1 +0%)Miss Harriett |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Miss Harriett 66/1, Runner-up twice in course handicap hurdles in 2021/22 but pulled up on recent return from a 19-month absence. Can only be watched after that. Longstanding maiden; achieved nothing on return from long layoff. |
|||
|U| (10)  (20/1 +0%)Arthalot |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Arthalot 20/1, Fair on the Flat and bettered previous efforts in this sphere when fifth in a 12-runner C&D handicap in April. Folded tamely back hurdling here (2m) 16 days ago, though. Back up in trip. Beaten long way over 2m here last time; ran respectably over C&D in April. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (9/1 -50%)Dylan's Double |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dylan's Double 9/1, Shaped well on course hurdle debut in January. Failed to build on that since but his reappearance/handicap debut effort at Plumpton (20.5f) 3 weeks ago was respectable and he shapes as if he'll benefit from the stiffer test of stamina he encounters now. Has a solid piece of Exeter form; interesting back here on this second handicap attempt. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (13/2 -95%)Portentoso |
13/2(-95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Portentoso 13/2, Struggled in just 2 outings last season but ran a lot better when 2 lengths second of 17 on his 19.5f Chepstow reappearance 18 days ago. Claims if showing up here in similar form. 0-10 in Britain but showed positive signs (clear second) at Chepstow on reappearance. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (16/1 -33%)Bala Brook |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bala Brook 16/1, Runner-up in 21.5f Newton Abbot maiden/novice events on his first 2 outings over hurdles. Bit disappointing when only seventh of 8 on his handicap debut at the same venue in July but he returns from a break with his yard going well. Similar type to stablemate Dylan's Double, being possibly still open to progress. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (18/1 +28%)No Worries |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) No Worries 18/1, Won 3 times over hurdles in 2021/22 season and struck on Ludlow chase debut last November. Let down by his jumping/attitude over fences then, though, and has fared no better back hurdling the last twice. Couple of poor efforts since returned to hurdles. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (100/1 -300%)Inchagoill Lady |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Inchagoill Lady 100/1, Placed in Irish points in 2020 and ran well when runner-up on second start over hurdles at Hereford in January. However, subsequent efforts have represented steps very much in the wrong direction. Returns under the care of a new trainer. Doesn't look solid on form; market can guide on debut for new yard. |
|||
|PU| (14)  (150/1 -355%)Henzo Des Boullats |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Henzo Des Boullats 150/1, Well held in varied events over hurdles so far and looks set for another struggle. Holds weak form claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DANTON stepped forward on his handicap bow when runner-up here over an extended 2m earlier in the month and the manner in which the six-year-old finished his race off suggested going up in trip would bring about plenty of improvement. Portentoso arrives following his best run to date since moving over here from France when second at Chepstow, while Malago Rose and Dylan's Double appeal most of the remainder.
The step up in trip should suit DANTON and he's taken to confirm the promise of his course handicap debut second earlier in the month. Lock Out hasn't taken to fences this autumn but is well treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival so he's second choice. Malago Rose and Portentoso also make the shortlist.
Topweight DANTON (nap) is taken to build on his promising reappearance effort and go one better. Dylan's Double is second choice.

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.
