Felton Bellevue |
(3) (Evens +60%)Evens(+60%) | (3) Felton Bellevue Evens, Run with credit the last twice, latest when fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Likely contender. Ended last year with two good runs at Lingfield (2m7f); needs to prove himself over C&D. |

Doyens De Ante |
(6) (11/2 -118%)11/2(-118%) | (6) Doyens De Ante 11/2, In good form earlier this year, scoring at Chepstow (26.3f) and Huntingdon (23.6f). Well behind when unseating at Fontwell when last seen in May but had a break since and has the assistance of an able amateur. Dual chase winner last spring but absent since May and has stamina to prove here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eclair De Guye |
(1) (13/8 +71%)13/8(+71%) | (1) Eclair De Guye 13/8, Winless for almost 3 years and has been beaten a long way in both starts this term, latest under this pilot at Market Rasen in November. Tumbling down the weights at least. Cheekpieces back on. Not the force of old but this thorough stayer will appreciate today's ease in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Finding Freedom |
(2) (18/1 +20%)18/1(+20%) | (2) Finding Freedom 18/1, Yet to land a blow in 5 starts over the larger obstacles and was pulled up in first-blinkers at Thurles last month. Tries cheekpieces now. Well beaten in all five chases, the latest in blinkers; cheekpieces given a whirl today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Jessie Lightfoot has won twice over fences and she made a promising return to action when third over hurdles at Catterick last month. She could mount a challenge, but still needs a career best off this mark, and a chance is taken on LE TUEUR, the only course and distance winner in the field. That success was in March off 4lb higher and on a similar surface, though he will need to jump better than when pulled up here last month. Felton Bellevue could also get involved if he bounces back to his better form.
Preference is for FELTON BELLEVUE, who arrives on the back of a couple of solid efforts and has the assistance of Gina Andrews. Jessie Lightfoot is feared most.
Regressive 10yo ECLAIR DE GUYE has not won since 2020 but he ought to be very well suited by this thorough stamina test.

Wise Guy |
(7) (2/1 +33%)2/1(+33%) | (7) Wise Guy 2/1, Point winner who shaped with some promise in a Bangor bumper/maiden hurdle 6 months apart. Still in touch when slipping up between 4 out and 3 out over C&D in November and has been given a breathing operation since. Point winner; placed on hurdle debut at Bangor; likely contender here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jimmy Boy |
(5) (9/2 +10%)9/2(+10%) | (5) Jimmy Boy 9/2, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland but has run some way below that level in a trio of starts for present yard, although had his chance ended by a bad mistake over C&D last time. Showed some fair form in Ireland last summer but beaten 50l+ on all three British starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hawk Stone |
(4) (9/2 +25%)9/2(+25%) | (4) Hawk Stone 9/2, Poor in bumpers but showed ability when sixth of 18 in a maiden hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 14 days ago and is entitled to build on that. Kept on steadily for respectable sixth on hurdling debut at Wincanton; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Grasshopper Time |
(3) (11/4 +54%)11/4(+54%) | (3) Grasshopper Time 11/4, Modest maiden hurdler who ran below form on his handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f, soft, 16/1) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Weakened on first two British starts but has claims if judged on Tramore second in October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sir Cilia |
(9) (12/1 +82%)12/1(+82%) | (9) Sir Cilia 12/1, Down the field in varied events on the Flat and would be an unlikely winner on hurdle debut. Well down the field in all four Flat races; makes hurdling debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cocardier |
(1) (28/1 +72%)28/1(+72%) | (1) Cocardier 28/1, Has shown nothing in a brace of bumpers and easily passed over making hurdling bow in first-time cheekpieces after 10 months off. Well beaten in two bumpers in early part of last year; cheekpieces on for hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eloso |
(2) (28/1 -40%)28/1(-40%) | (2) Eloso 28/1, Fair winner on the Flat at up to 12f for Gay Kelleway but has been well held both starts over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Fair on the Flat but has struggled on first two hurdling starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Just Gino disappointed when sent off favourite for his hurdling debut at Bangor last month when beaten 19 lengths into fifth, but he did pull too hard that day and may be a different proposition here. With the James Owen horses in good heart, Jimmy Boy could challenge for the places, but preference is for WISE GUY. Third at Bangor in October, he was running a big race before slipping up four out here in November, and may make amends now on his first start after wind surgery.
Expensive point scorer JUST GINO should be all the wiser for his recent hurdling debut and gets the nod to open his account at the second time of asking in this sphere. Wise Guy was still in touch when slipping up between 4 out and 3 out over C&D at the beginning of November and could go well following a breathing operation, with Hawk Stone another to consider having shown some promise in a big-field maiden hurdle at Wincanton.
Irish point winner JUST GINO weakened into fifth on last month's hurdling debut but not before shaping with significant promise.

My Girl Lollipop |
(3) (4/1 +0%)4/1(+0%) | (3) My Girl Lollipop 4/1, Maiden who was in good form over hurdles when last seen, placed for third consecutive start at Warwick (25f) in May. Has since left Stuart Edmunds and interesting what the market makes of her now chasing back from 8 months off. In good form over hurdles last spring; makes chase/stable debut after 246-day absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ya Know Yaseff |
(5) (5/2 +9%)5/2(+9%) | (5) Ya Know Yaseff 5/2, Improved fitted with blinkers, winning handicaps at Worcester/Newton Abbot (at up to 25.7f) in September. Mixed bag since but her latest Wincanton second over 25f was a solid display. Claims with a repeat. Not one to rely upon but ran well at Wincanton last month and is suited by this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Brandisova |
(4) (9/4 +50%)9/4(+50%) | (4) Brandisova 9/4, Landed hurdle/C&D chase double early on last year and returned with a good third at Lingfield (23.5f) in November. Hasn't kicked on in 2 subsequent outings but her mark is steadily easing and re-united with Bryony Frost here. C&D winner off today's mark in March but needs to better her recent efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Country Kitten |
(7) (10/1 +70%)10/1(+70%) | (7) Country Kitten 10/1, Caused a surprise when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (23.1f, heavy) in March, but that is very much a standout effort and she's failed to complete both starts in this sphere. 40-1 hurdle winner last March but has poor completion record for this yard; too risky. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Moon Eagle |
(6) (17/2 +74%)17/2(+74%) | (6) Moon Eagle 17/2, Patchy form for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland and she hasn't threatened in 6 starts for present yard. Looked out of sorts in both chases in the autumn and now 0-15 overall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lady Tremaine |
(1) (17/2 -89%)17/2(-89%) | (1) Lady Tremaine 17/2, Dual winner over hurdles who made a promising start over fences last spring, making the frame in mares' handicaps at Ffos Las/Southwell. Ran no sort of race when pulled up at Bangor (3m) in May but no surprise to see a better showing back from 7 months off. Not seen since a poor run last May but a danger to all if fully tuned up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Brandisova has a two out of three win record here which makes her worthy of close attention, but she has been beaten 23 and 20 lengths on his last two starts which hardly inspires confidence. YA KNOW YASEFF looks the likelier winner for David Pipe after a solid second at Wincanton last time out following two wins over fences earlier in 2023. She could get back to winning ways here off just 1lb higher, though My Girl Lollipop could give her a race if she takes to fences at the first attempt.
YA KNOW YASEFF quickly returned to form having stepped back up in trip when second at Wincanton 2 weeks ago and a repeat should see David Pipe's mare play a lead role once more. Auditoria and Lady Tremaine head up the dangers.
It might pay to chance the fitness of LADY TREMAINE, who made a promising start to her chasing career towards the end of last season.

Ol'river Shine |
(3) (5/1 +58%)5/1(+58%) | (3) Ol'river Shine 5/1, Third in her sole point and made the frame in maiden events at Plumpton and Wetherby on her first 2 starts over hurdles. Out the back in 2 handicaps since, though, so arrives with something to prove. Made encouraging start to hurdling career but has struggled in both handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stamina Chope |
(2) (7/2 -27%)7/2(-27%) | (2) Stamina Chope 7/2, Has returned over hurdles in good form, runner-up twice before winning over 25f at Plumpton. Found 2m an inadequate test when 13 lengths third at Leicester latest and player now stepping back up in trip. Belatedly off the mark over hurdles at Plumpton in October; 2m7f on soft might stretch her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Baby Sham |
(5) (7/2 +30%)7/2(+30%) | (5) Baby Sham 7/2, Off the mark over hurdles here in May and also successful at Fontwell (3¼m) in June. Below-form fourth at Plumpton in 2 runs since returning from a break but has been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper. Dual winner on good ground in early part of season but conditions not ideal for her here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lady Salvador |
(6) (9/4 -20%)9/4(-20%) | (6) Lady Salvador 9/4, Showed she can make an impact from a basement mark when second of 7 on her 19f Fontwell handicap debut/reappearance 44 days ago. Up in trip. Unlikely to be far away. Ran well in defeat on handicap debut (2m3f) and can improve again over today's trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Little Talks |
(1) (11/2 +8%)11/2(+8%) | (1) Little Talks 11/2, Runner-up only start in Irish points. Only poor form in maiden/novice hurdles (beaten 21 lengths when third here latest) but does rate a possible improver now handicapping over further. Didn't achieve huge amount when keeping on for modest third in 2m4f maiden here last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LADY SALVADOR put in a career best when filling second place on her handicap debut at Fontwell in November and the unexposed eight-year-old merits the utmost respect here, despite a 3lb rise in the ratings. The consistent Stamina Chope appears to be the main threat based on her win at Plumpton two starts ago, while Inchiquin Spirit is another to note.
A case can be made for all of these. STAMINA CHOPE has had a good spell lately and gets the nod with the step back up in trip sure to suit her. Lady Salvado made a positive start to her handicap career when second at Fontwell, while Inchiquin Spirit and Little Talks rate possible improvers now handicapping over longer trips.
This can go to LADY SALVADOR, who made a good start to her handicap career over 2m3f and can improve again over staying trips.

Fancy Stuff |
(2) (5/1 +17%)5/1(+17%) | (2) Fancy Stuff 5/1, Fair bumper winner who failed to progress over jumps for Dan Skelton but did settle better in first-time hood when third over fences at Ludlow (20f) for new yard last month. Not out of things if she can back that up. Kept on well for third on recent stable debut at Ludlow; might build on that run here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My Gift To You |
(3) (7/4 -59%)7/4(-59%) | (3) My Gift To You 7/4, Hurdles/chase winner during the summer. Progress stalled a little over timber thereafter but back to winning ways reverting back to chasing when successful over C&D 6 weeks ago, overcoming mistakes in the process. Expected to feature again from 5 lb higher mark. C&D winner in November and now 3-6 for this stable; big player if handling the ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Puddlesinthepark |
(1) (9/4 +32%)9/4(+32%) | (1) Puddlesinthepark 9/4, Hurdles winner (at 3m) who produced a promising first effort over fences when runner-up at Worcester (23f, soft) in May. Latest run at Ffos Las in November a shade disappointing but no surprise to see a better showing back from 51 days off. Didn't fire on latest outing but launched chasing career with two creditable runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Take Centre Stage |
(4) (9/2 +0%)9/2(+0%) | (4) Take Centre Stage 9/2, Ran to a similar level as on chase debut when third (in first-time cheekpieces) at Sedgefield (17f) in November. Not for the first time, didn't look entirely straightforward when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Catterick last month but interesting connections now opt for blinkers. Ran well in first two chases; change of tactics didn't suit last time; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Go Fox |
(5) (16/1 -60%)16/1(-60%) | (5) Go Fox 16/1, Capitalised on easing mark when landing handicap chase contests here/Stratford in June. Largely below form since however, and no threat to winner when runner-up over hurdles back here 2 weeks ago. Mark continues to ease at least ahead of switch back to chasing. Seemed to have emerged from spell in the doldrums when second over hurdles last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MY GIFT TO YOU appeared to have plenty in hand when winning a similar event over C&D in November and the six-year-old is hard to oppose as a result, although a 5lb rise will make life tougher for him. Fancy Stuff was not beaten far when third at Ludlow recently and she could make the frame once again. Cases can be made for all of the remainder but Puddlesinthepark is marginally the pick of them.
PUDDLESINTHEPARK needs forgiving a lesser effort at Ffos Las in November yet the form of his previous chase efforts has some substance and he could be worth chancing back from 51 days off. My Gift To You is a serious threat however in his bid to maintain his 100% record over fences. Northern-raider Take Centre Stage also commands a second look.
He didn't fire last time but PUDDLESINTHEPARK ran well behind bang-in-form rivals in his first two chases and gets the vote.

Haafapiece |
(2) (6/1 -9%)6/1(-9%) | (2) Haafapiece 6/1, C&D winner who went backwards from an encouraging reappearance when pulled up at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) 45 days ago. Freshened up since and could well bounce back having found only a progressive rival too strong in this race in 2023. Won this race in 2020 and was second to a good horse in it last year; can't be ignored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Swaffham Bulbeck |
(1) (7/1 -17%)7/1(-17%) | (1) Swaffham Bulbeck 7/1, Returned to hurdles to land a Southwell handicap in September and even better form when second of 12 at Chepstow. Found Greatwood too competitive at Cheltenham but again ran poorly back in calmer waters at Taunton on most recent outing. Bit to prove. Ran this track very well but ended last year with two disappointing efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
El Jefe |
(5) (7/4 -17%)7/4(-17%) | (5) El Jefe 7/4, Better than ever this season, completing the hat-trick in authoritative fashion in 8-runner handicap (15/2) at Haydock (18.9f, heavy) 10 days ago, pushed out. Can go in again. Resurgent 7yo who is in superb form and now bids to complete a four-timer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Casa Loupi |
(3) (10/1 +38%)10/1(+38%) | (3) Casa Loupi 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler back in 2021 and returned from a long absence with a promising display on the Flat at Nottingham in May. However, has run poorly both starts back over jumps since. Both runs in the autumn were disappointing but market support will make him of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Out Of Focus |
(6) (15/8 -7%)15/8(-7%) | (6) Out Of Focus 15/8, Has got back on track since sent handicapping and was beaten only by a well-treated pair in 5-runner event at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously. Made the frame in first two handicaps (2m/1m7f); back up in trip today; shortlisted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
EL JEFE successfully completed the hat-trick when going in by three lengths over 2m3f at Haydock on his latest outing and he was given an 8lb rise for that victory. The son of Born To Sea has an extra furlong to contend with in this contest, which could ensure he remains a step ahead of the assessor. Haafapiece can be given another chance after being pulled up in this grade at Wetherby last time and is better judged on his second there previously, while Nordano warrants a market check.
EL JEFE is clearly better than ever this season and, having completed the hat-trick in authoritative fashion at Haydock recently, he looks well up winning again. Out of Focus was beaten only by a promising pair at Wincanton on his most recent outing and is obvious threat back up in trip, while veteran Haafapiece shouldn't be taken lightly having been freshened up since disappointing at Wetherby on his latest run in November.
There is no strong temptation to oppose EL JEFE (nap), who has been in superb form in recent weeks and can extend his winning spree.

For Gina |
(3) (5/4 -25%)5/4(-25%) | (3) For Gina 5/4, Reliable sort who has reacted well to cheekpieces, winning over 23f at Uttoxeter in June and adding to her tally over C&D under Bryony Frost in November. Had them well strung last time so a 5 lb rise doesn't look too severe. Won readily by 11l over C&D in November and latest 5lb rise does not look excessive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lifetime Legend |
(4) (10/1 -82%)10/1(-82%) | (4) Lifetime Legend 10/1, Built on early promise to break his duck in 19f female jockeys' event at Catterick in February. Has dropped below that winning mark but hasn't really been showing enough to suggest he's ready to take advantage. Disappointed on latest 2m start and stamina heads into unknown territory today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ben Lilly |
(2) (11/2 +0%)11/2(+0%) | (2) Ben Lilly 11/2, Successful at Newton Abbot and Wincanton in the autumn. Shaped as if still in form but didn't find much off the bridle when fifth of 7 at Doncaster (3m) last time. Dual hurdle winner in autumn and ran better than finishing position suggests last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hobb's Delight |
(6) (15/8 +46%)15/8(+46%) | (6) Hobb's Delight 15/8, Improved when dead-heating on 19f Fontwell handicap debut on Boxing Day. That was a conditional jockeys' race so she escapes a penalty turned out again quickly. This longer trip should suit. Dead-heated over 2m3f on recent handicap debut; escapes a penalty; bred for stamina. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FOR GINA justified favouritism in fine style when scoring by 11 lengths over C&D in November and the handicapper may have been kind to only put her up 5lb for that success. The daughter of Kayf Tara looks to have lots in her favour and is difficult to oppose. Ben Lilly is more than capable in this grade and was dropped 1lb for his well-beaten fifth at Doncaster last time, while Hobb's Delight makes most appeal of the remainder.
FOR GINA has taken it up a notch since equipped with cheekpieces and she can defy the handicapper again. Fontwell Boxing Day winner Hobb's Delight looks the obvious danger.
Effectively only 1lb higher than when dead-heating over 2m3f on Boxing Day, HOBB'S DELIGHT can improve again over today's longer trip.

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.
