1st (1)  (5/6 +17%)Bluegrass |
5/6(+17%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bluegrass 5/6, Useful on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien earlier in his career (placed in the 2022 Dante). Not at that level over hurdles but again shaped well when second in 5-runner handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) 12 days ago and this looks an excellent opportunity to go one better. Good runner-up in Huntingdon handicap latest; holds major claims back in maiden company. |
|||
2nd (5)  (10/3 -33%)Rumoursareflying |
10/3(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rumoursareflying 10/3, Down the field in bumpers but has run to a fair level last 2 starts over hurdles, including when second in 9-runner novice at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) 26 days ago. Good claims. On the up over hurdles, excellent second in Southwell novice latest; well in the mix. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/2 +22%)Juan Bermudez |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Juan Bermudez 7/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Andrew Balding, stays 2m. Ran poorly final 2 outings in that sphere but still warrants plenty of respect starting out over hurdles at an ordinary level. Fairly useful on Flat; off 10 months but enters calculations on his hurdling/yard debut. |
|||
4th (3)  (20/1 +20%)Daniel Deronda |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Daniel Deronda 20/1, Modest maiden hurdler who ran below form at Yarmouth when last seen on the Flat in August. A modest maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy; needs to hit the ground running for his new yard. |
|||
5th (9)  (16/1 +76%)Sir Cilia |
16/1(+76%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sir Cilia 16/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who was well held on Warwick hurdle debut 53 days ago. Offered little on hurdling debut when fifth in Warwick juvenile; lots more is needed. |
|||
6th (2)  (80/1 -21%)Cave Article |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cave Article 80/1, Court Cave gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 25f) Casey Jones. Runner-up completed start in points but was pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster on Rules debut 23 days ago. Pulled up on hurdling debut at Doncaster; runner-up in an Irish point so can do better. |
|||
7th (6)  (100/1 +0%)Drill To Dream |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Drill To Dream 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who was well held tried hurdling at Huntingdon 12 days ago. Offered little on hurdling debut when seventh at Huntingdon; others appeal more. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (28/1 -331%)Sceptic |
28/1(-331%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sceptic 28/1, Useful handicapper at best on Flat, stays 1m, folded tamely last time. Remains to be seen whether he's got the stamina for this discipline. Beaten one rival in two starts for current yard on Flat; goes hurdling with bit to prove. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (125/1 -89%)Bubblecraft |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Bubblecraft 125/1, Fair at up to 13f on the Flat in France but was pulled up on hurdles debut at Leicester in November and has shown nothing back on the level subsequently. Tongue tied for first time over hurdles. Pulled up on hurdling debut at Leicester; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
RUMOURSAREFLYING was only narrowly denied when second over 2m at Southwell last month and it would be no surprise to see him go one better here. That said, Bluegrass also filled the runner-up berth on his most recent outing and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Others who make the shortlist are Juan Bermudez, Galactic Jack and Sceptic.
BLUEGRASS has been shaping up well in handicaps lately and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account as a hurdler. Rumoursareflying probably should have won at Southwell last time and is an obvious threat, with fairly useful Flat recruit Juan Bermudez also worthy of consideration.
This looks an excellent opportunity for BLUEGRASS to open his account over hurdles on the back of his good Huntingdon handicap second.

1st (4)  (10/3 +26%)Ballylinch |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ballylinch 10/3, Winning pointer who made a successful chasing debut in handicap at Sedgefield (26.9f, soft) in October. Hasn't built on that effort since, not jumping fluently when fourth of 7 at Market Rasen last time, but it still remains early days for him over fences. Cheekpieces fitted when good fourth at Market Rasen latest; merits serious consideration. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/2 -100%)Elleon |
7/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Elleon 7/2, Arrives in good order, third of 6 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (26.9f, heavy) 21 days ago when making effort earlier than ideal. Blinkers on 1st time. Player. Solid third at Sedgefield three weeks ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces; can go well again. |
|||
3rd (1)  (2/1 +40%)Stringtoyourbow |
2/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Stringtoyourbow 2/1, Fair winning hurdler who showed some promise after 19-month absence at Cheltenham in October. Pulled up sent chasing on his last 2 starts, though looked in need of the run after another 3 months off last time. Could yet do better in this sphere. A fair winning 3m hurdler but he's been pulled up on both starts in this sphere. |
|||
4th (3)  (10/1 -82%)Hamartia |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hamartia 10/1, Placed twice in maiden hurdles in Ireland for Colm Murphy and produced best effort for current yard when third of 4 in handicap at Ludlow (20f, heavy) on her chasing debut 15 days ago. Needs to find more again upped in trip in first-time tongue tie. Best effort for new yard when third on chasing debut at Ludlow; not discounted up in trip. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (10/3 +17%)Kadex |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kadex 10/3, Won twice over hurdles in France and off the mark at the second attempt over fences in handicap at Plumpton (25.7f, good to soft) in October. However, let down by his jumping when pulled up on his last 2 outings. Hood back on as well as the cheekpieces. Won at Plumpton in October but he has been held back by his jumping subsequently. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In a moderate event, marginal preference is for ELLEON, who was not beaten far when third over 3m3f at Sedgefield last time and the nine-year-old can race off the same mark here. Hamartia showed some encouragement at Ludlow on her most recent outing and may improve for a first-time tongue-tie, while Ballylinch is on a workable mark and looks the clear next best.
ELLEON soon bounced back to form when third at Sedgefield last time, despite having made his effort earlier than ideal, and he can gain a deserved first success over fences with blinkers applied. Ballylinch could still have more to offer after only 4 chase starts and is feared most, ahead of Kadex.
Micky Hammond's BALLYLINCH has made a positive start to life over fences and with few miles still on the clock he can bag a second win.

(4)  (4/6 +92%)Ballyrashane |
4/6(+92%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ballyrashane 4/6, Took 5 attempts to land an Irish point and showed nothing in maiden/novice hurdles under Rules. Far more promise when fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft, 20/1) on chase debut and he's taken to improve further in a very winnable contest. No late impression on chase debut, but dropped 2lb and really interesting upped in trip. |
|||
(3)  (11/4 -83%)Eclair De Guye |
11/4(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eclair De Guye 11/4, Winless for over 3 years and hasn't looked like changing in a 4 starts this season, tailed off a long way out at Fontwell last time. Hard to have much faith in despite sliding mark, Ought not fail for stamina; poor last time out but dangerous off a career-low mark. |
|||
(2)  (15/2 -400%)Conceroe |
15/2(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Conceroe 15/2, Off the mark over fences at the second attempt when landing a weak 5-runner event over 21f here in November 2022. Off 15 months subsequently and likely needed run when a tailed-off fourth at this course last month. Yard form is a concern and market may prove best guide. 2m4f hurdle/2m5f chase winner here; can step up on recent comeback; stamina concerns. |
|||
(5)  (10/1 +38%)Voice Of Hope |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Voice Of Hope 10/1, Poor maiden handicap chaser made frame at Catterick in December and Huntingdon in January. Reportedly suffering from heat stress when pulled up at Wetherby last time. Others preferred even in such a weak contest. 0-14 over fences and didn't stay in front long last time; not too easy to recommend. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Heavy ground was a valid excuse for ECLAIR DE GUYE's defeat last time and he can be given another chance off a 5lb lower mark than when third at Southwell two starts ago. Conceroe may have needed the run over 2m5f here last month after a long layoff and he should not be underestimated, while Rostello and is another with valid form claims in a weak event.
A really poor event, with BALLYRASHANE taken to build on a more encouraging chase debut fourth and get off the mark over fences at the second time of asking. It's very hard to have much faith in any of the other runners, with Conceroe perhaps somewhat appealing having won here on her final start before a long absence, whilst the temperamental Rostello could get involved if on a 'going' day.
Comply Or Die's nephew BALLYRASHANE is trusted to take his form up a level hiked up in trip. Eclair De Guye is next most feared.

(5)  (8/11 +78%)Fever Dream |
8/11(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fever Dream 8/11, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and bettered what he showed in maiden/novice company when fourth of 14 on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in October. Likely to come into his own now upped in trip and a first-time tongue tie goes on. Has shown ability over hurdles and likely to be suited by the longer trip; tongue-tie on. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 +9%)Nelson Criq |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Nelson Criq 5/1, Showed ability in a bumper and novice hurdles but failed to improve as required for the switch to handicaps when fourth at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) in January. Remains early days, however. Has shown ability in two of his four starts over hurdles, including last time; shortlisted. |
|||
(7)  (5/1 +38%)Double Powerful |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Double Powerful 5/1, Has yet to make a significant impact under Rules but shaped as if this step back up in trip is well worth exploring at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) on his most recent outing. Suggested a return to further may suit when fourth at Wincanton last time; each-way claims. |
|||
(3)  (9/1 -29%)Tellmesomethingood |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tellmesomethingood 9/1, Low-mileage 6-y-o who was having only his second outing in a handicap when narrowly denied over 2m at Plumpton in December. Failed to back it up at Lingfield a month later and possibly unsuited by conditions last time (when tongue tied). Heads back up in trip. Placed in his first two handicaps, but has blown out twice since; wouldn't want more rain. |
|||
(8)  (18/1 +28%)Journey West |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Journey West 18/1, Continues to show little for current yard and can't be recommended despite a tumbling mark. 1-21 over hurdles; hasn't shown enough for the yard to think he will be doubling his tally. |
|||
(6)  (22/1 +33%)Sadie Hill |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sadie Hill 22/1, Struggled over fences in the autumn and fared no better back in this sphere at Doncaster a couple of months ago. Others make more appeal. 3lb below last winning mark, but has lost her way lately; enough to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FEVER DREAM returned from a 192-day break to be not beaten far into fourth over 2m in this grade at Uttoxeter in October and he goes off an unchanged mark on his reappearance. Christian Williams' six-year-old makes only his second handicap start and, with the step up in trip and first-time tongue-tie possibly helping, he looks the way to go. Awesome Foursome has been thereabouts the last twice, including when third at Hereford last month, and he could have a say. Of the remainder, Sangiovese appeals most after his close second at Fontwell.
A few in with a squeak but FEVER DREAM took a step forward when finishing fourth over an inadequate trip on handicap debut at Uttoxeter back in October so, provided he's ready to roll, Christian Williams' 6-y-o can come out on top with a first-time tongue tie applied. Sangiovese is going the right way, so he heads up the dangers, with Awesome Foursome rounding off the shortlist.
It may be worth siding with FEVER DREAM who performed encouragingly when fourth at Uttoxeter last time. The longer trip should suit

(2)  (5/4 +58%)Symbolic Spirit |
5/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Symbolic Spirit 5/4, Maiden who finished runner-up on handicap debut in this sphere last winter. Mixed bag thereafter but did get back on track when fourth in mares' handicap at Bangor (19.5f) in August. Has since made an interesting yard switch and worth noting if the market speaks in her favour. Mixed bag since November 2022 second to Eventful, but interesting on stable debut. |
|||
(8)  (15/8 +77%)Birdhouse |
15/8(+77%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Birdhouse 15/8, C&D bumper winner who showed first form over hurdles (in first-time cheekpieces) when third of 10 in handicap at Market Rasen (16.6f) last month, no match for well-handicapped pair. Yard in good form and she could have more to offer at this sort of level. C&D bumper win last Easter (soft); yet to prove as good over hurdles, though third latest. |
|||
(6)  (5/1 -262%)Weigh Anchor |
5/1(-262%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Weigh Anchor 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and improved with each outing over hurdles back in the autumn, second of 8 in juvenile hurdle at Wetherby (2m) in October. Returns now handicapping/following wind surgery and she's worth a second look. Second on four of last five Flat/hurdles starts; wind surgery a plus, initial mark less so. |
|||
(7)  (11/1 -38%)Foursome |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Foursome 11/1, Belatedly off the mark on Flat at Nottingham in October and very much looked a work-in-progress in trio of novice/maiden hurdles in recent months. Switch to handicaps rates a plus returning from 2 months off. Needs to help herself more to progress over hurdles, but mark doesn't look unkind. |
|||
(5)  (16/1 -220%)Pump It Up |
16/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pump It Up 16/1, Modest Flat winner and similar standard over hurdles, keeping on late when third at Plumpton (15.9f) when last seen 12 months ago. Market may prove a useful guide as to expectations on return to action. Back to her best form level in defeat recently, and tempting eased 3lb in the weights. |
|||
(4)  (80/1 -60%)Walk In The Stars |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Walk In The Stars 80/1, Minor promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers during first stint for this yard but offered little over hurdles since, including in 2 starts for P. Corkery in Ireland this term. Back with Christine Dunnett; big step up on her most recent efforts likely required. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Crem Fresh was well held in third over an extended 2m7f here last month, but she rates an interesting contender as she takes a big drop in distance off a 2lb lower rating. However, a chance can be taken on WEIGH ANCHOR, who took a step forward from her debut effort over hurdles to fill the runner-up spot at Wetherby in October and the winner of that race was thought of highly enough to compete in a Grade 2 next time. Therefore, she could have plenty more to come on her handicap bow after undergoing a wind operation. Symbolic Spirit completes the shortlist.
An open-looking mares' event in which it could be worth chancing the returning SYMBOLIC SPIRIT. She lines up from what rates an appealing mark on the pick of her form last year and she's just the type her new yard has often excelled with previously. Weigh Anchor arrives one of the least exposed and she should improve now handicapping. Birdhouse and Foursome are others to note.
This may come down to which of SYMBOLIC SPIRIT and Pump It Up can exploit a career-low mark, with the former narrowly chosen.

(3)  (10/3 +52%)Jilaijone |
10/3(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jilaijone 10/3, Has run poorly on last 2 outings but the latter was the ultra-competitive Betfair Hurdle at Newbury he's fairly handicapped on the form he showed when placed in the autumn. Always behind in the Betfair Hurdle; down sharply in class, but not easy to win with. |
|||
(8)  (7/2 +30%)Tapley |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tapley 7/2, Returned to form with a bang when bagging 2m Kempton handicap in November and has run with credit on all 3 outings since, on the latest finishing runner-up back at Kempton just after Christmas. Contender if resuming from an 11-week break in similar form. Consistent since November's Kempton win (2m, good), and sound place claims again. |
|||
(1)  (7/2 +61%)Magical Maggie |
7/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Magical Maggie 7/2, Mare with a good strike-rate, gaining a sixth win when easily seeing off 4 rivals at Ludlow (2m, heavy) in December. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when 19½ lengths fourth of 9 at Newbury (2m, soft) just after Christmas. Respected back from short break. Trip, track type and going all fine, but yet to score outside of mares-only company. |
|||
(4)  (4/1 -14%)Ip Up |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ip Up 4/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in France who has won 2m handicap hurdles here and at Newcastle since joining this yard. Creditable 4 lengths fourth of 6 at Kelso latest but that underlines she needs a bit more from her mark. C&D mares' 0-120 scorer last November and Newcastle scorer since; remains on upward curve. |
|||
(2)  (15/2 -25%)Matchless |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Matchless 15/2, Improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) in November and runner-up on 2 of his 3 outings since. Ought to be competitive again. Musselburgh 2m win and Doncaster 2m3f near-miss last backend; can make spare stamina count. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 -57%)Fransham |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fransham 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021 but latest second of 6 at Kempton (2m, good to soft) shows he's down to a mark he can be competitive from. Yard no stranger to success in this race. Best effort for a bit at Kempton last time; all wins in last five years were at Wetherby. |
|||
(9)  (16/1 -191%)Whispering Royal |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Whispering Royal 16/1, Fair Flat winner who built on the promise of his hurdling debut when off the mark in a juvenile at Doncaster in December. Disappointing at Huntingdon 4 weeks later but given a bit of time since and remains unexposed now handicapping. Last home in the Chatteris Fen latest; doesn't look obviously well treated for handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Coup De Coeur justified strong support in the market when scoring with ease at Sedgefield last month. However, the combination of a 7lb rise and the sharper nature of this course could leave the six-year-old vulnerable and it may be worth taking a chance on TAPLEY. The Suzy Smith-trained inmate posted a fine second in a 0-140 event at Kempton last time out and this contest looks a shade easier. C&D winner Ip Up is also worthy of consideration.
COUP DE COUER is 2-2 when partnered by Brian Hughes and a 7 lb rise for last month's Sedgefield success may not prevent him going in again. Magical Maggie and Tapley were both in good heart at the end of 2023 and may give the selection most to do if resuming in similar form.
Jedd O'Keeffe knows what to send to Fakenham, and IP UP (nap) can improve his course record as well as her own, ahead of Matchless.

(2)  (2/1 +29%)Firak |
2/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Firak 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable second of 7 in hunter chase at Leicester (15.9f, heavy, 3/1) 7 days ago, barely adequate test. Significantly back up in trip. Not dismissed for all that he has a bit to find. 2m second latest; work to do with Rebel Dawn Rising and Janika on last Easter's C&D clash. |
|||
(6)  (9/4 +18%)Knight In Dubai |
9/4(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Knight In Dubai 9/4, Useful hurdler/chaser but he's not proving the easiest to catch right and was pulled up when last seen under Rules for Dan Skelton. Easy winner both starts in points for current yard, so makes plenty of appeal. Easy winner of two Horseheath points in 2024; still running well in handicaps a year ago. |
|||
(5)  (3/1 -71%)Rebel Dawn Rising |
3/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rebel Dawn Rising 3/1, Multiple point scorer who is fairly useful under Rules and was last seen finishing second to Premier Magic at Cheltenham 10 months ago. Likeable sort who looks a big player on return. Gifted Janika a C&D success last Easter (unseated last); can defy absences of today's size. |
|||
(4)  (9/1 -50%)Shentri |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shentri 9/1, Fairly useful chaser for Dan Skelton and made an excellent start in points for this stable, scoring easily. Looks a notable hunter debutant. 20l pointing win on recent return from 587 days out (good); chance, assuming no bounce. |

10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Janika 10/1, Useful hurdler. First run since leaving Nicky Henderson when won 5-runner hunter chase (4/1) at this C&D 11 months ago (soft) by 16 lengths from Firak. Pulled up in a point on return but can feature if he turns up on his game. C&D win last Easter when Rebel Dawn Rising unseated late on; return may have been needed. |

20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chief Black Robe 20/1, Vastly improved over fences for Fergal O'Brien last season. Yet to score in points, however, and has a bit to find on form. Racked up good-ground four-timer last summer (2m5f-3m); likely sharper for recent return. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
KNIGHT IN DUBAI has been in fine fettle from between the flags and he arrives on the back of a double at Horseheath. The gelded son of Dubai Destination recorded some fair form under Rules during his 2023 campaign and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to gain another success in this sphere. Rebel Dawn Rising should appreciate this return to 3m and is feared most, ahead of Shentri, in what looks an open finale.
KNIGHT IN DUBAI ran poorly on his final outing for Dan Skelton but he's turned over a new leaf in points for this yard and he's worth a chance to make a successful return to Rules. Rebel Dawn Rising is a definite threat if he's ready to go and Firak should give his running once more.
Fellow former Dan Skelton inmates KNIGHT IN DUBAI and Shentri appeal most, the first-named preferred receiving weight all round.
