1st (2)  (5/2 +9%)Smiling Getaway |
5/2(+9%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Smiling Getaway 5/2, Winning Irish pointer who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles (on soft/heavy) last winter prior to finishing third in Grade 2 company. Disappointing in big field handicap on final start at Newbury in March but conditions look ideal on return/now chasing for a yard in fine form. Very lightly raced since Irish point win in 2021 but looks interesting on this chase debut. |
|||
2nd (3)  (2/1 0%)Alfie's Princess |
2/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Alfie's Princess 2/1, Point winner who landed first 2 starts in mares' novice hurdles last winter and ended the campaign with an excellent second in Grade 2 handicap at Newbury (20.5f) in March. Very much appeals as the type to make an even better chaser and shortlisted on return. Creditable second of 17 in Grade 2 mares' handicap hurdle in March; chase debut today. |
|||
3rd (5)  (7/2 +65%)Lilting Verse |
7/2(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lilting Verse 7/2, Listed bumper winner who opened her account over hurdles in mares' maiden at Ludlow (21.2f) last November. Exploits mixed in trio of starts thereafter but stable's runners rarely lack for fitness and she's one to note in the betting now chasing after 6 months off. Ended last season with two respectable runs in good-quality hurdles; chase debut today. |
|||
4th (6)  (50/1 -213%)Fortunefavorsdbold |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fortunefavorsdbold 50/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and left previous form for this yard well behind with a brace of handicap chase wins at Huntingdon/Lingfield. Appeared to go off the boil thereafter, last of 7 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f) in May. Needs to bounce back on return. Dual chase winner last season but was badly out of form when last seen in spring. |
|||
5th (1)  (22/1 -193%)Eureka Creek |
22/1(-193%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eureka Creek 22/1, Winning hurdler/chaser who ran up to her best despite an indifferent round of jumping when runner-up behind Fortunefavorsdbold in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, heavy) in March. Remains just 1 lb above last winning mark and she's gone well fresh previously. Ran some good races in defeat last season and resumes on a workable mark; should go well. |
|||
6th (4)  (11/1 -83%)Moviddy |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Moviddy 11/1, Dual hurdles who showed improved form to finish placed on first 3 starts over fences last winter. Progress stalled thereafter, fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Ludlow (20f) when last seen in May. Conditions will hold no fears back from 5 months off. 0-5 over fences but has good claims if judged on last autumn's 2m4f form. |
|||
|U| (8)  (7/1 +42%)Followango |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Followango 7/1, Point/bumper winner who made the frame all 5 starts over hurdles during second half of last season, second of 7 in handicap at this course (20f) 6 months ago. Goes chasing after 6 months off in what could prove a warm enough contest and the betting can guide. Placed on all five hurdling starts; up in grade for chase debut; others look stronger. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Innisfree Lass was a facile winner on her latest outing over 3m at Southwell last time and she makes appeal on her first chase start, but slight preference is for ALFIE'S PRINCESS. Sam Thomas' charge runs off the same mark as when second over timber at Newbury in March and on her first start over the larger obstacles, she can go one better. Smiling Getaway is next best.
ALFIE'S PRINCESS cemented the positive start she made to hurdles last season with an excellent second in a Grade 2 handicap at Newbury on her final start in March and, appealing as the type to make an even better chaser, she could be worth siding with on return. Fellow chase debutante Smiling Getaway for the red-hot Nigel Twiston-Davies stable is next best. Innisfree Lass and Moviddy are others to consider.
Top of the list is ALFIE'S PRINCESS, who was placed in a competitive Grade 2 handicap hurdle for mares at Newbury in the spring.

1st (7)  (4/11 +71%)Rosscahill |
4/11(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rosscahill 4/11, Bought for £70,000 after easily winning an Irish point in December. Interesting Rules debutant. Bought for £70,000 after Irish point win and there's substance to that form. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/2 +72%)Andy Amo |
9/2(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Andy Amo 9/2, Fair form in bumpers and this longer trip promises to suit now hurdling after 6 months off. Beaten between 10l and 18l in his three bumpers, on heavy and soft ground; up in trip. |
|||
3rd (5)  (6/1 +33%)Neo King |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Neo King 6/1, Multiple point winner who ran to a fair level when second in a hunter chase at Down Royal (19.5f, soft) on NH debut in March. Changed hands for £20,000 in May ahead of this switch to hurdle. The betting should help guide to expectations. Won three Irish points and also runner-up in a hunter chase; bought for £20,000. |
|||
4th (2)  (18/1 -50%)Babatunde |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Babatunde 18/1, Purchased for £50,000 after finishing third in an Irish point in April. The betting should guide now hurdling. Bought for £50,000 after finishing second in a good-ground Irish point in April. |
|||
5th (9)  (20/1 -100%)Small Town Hero |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Small Town Hero 20/1, Point winner who failed to figure in an Aintree Grade 2 bumper in April but that was a tough assignment for his Rules debut and he retains potential now hurdling. Point winner; highly tried in sole bumper, finishing tailed off in a Grade 2. |
|||
6th (6)  (250/1 -150%)Pennant Legacy |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pennant Legacy 250/1, Little show in a bumper/pair of novice hurdles and is set for another struggle. Limited promise in a bumper and two hurdles this year when kept to Worcester. |
|||
7th (11)  (250/1 -150%)Prophet Squeeze |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Prophet Squeeze 250/1, Fifth both completed starts in Irish points. 150/1 when pulled up in Worcester maiden hurdle for new yard last month. Low key in Irish points; 150-1 when pulled up on hurdle debut a month ago. |
|||
8th (3)  (200/1 -100%)Jaunty Galaxy |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jaunty Galaxy 200/1, Sent off 40/1 and didn't show much in a Worcester bumper in June. Home-bred 5yo related to winners but was tailed off in an ordinary bumper at Worcester. |
|||
|U| (4)  (40/1 -60%)Jay Bee Whiskey |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jay Bee Whiskey 40/1, Multiple point winner but could only manage sixth in a Stratford hunter chase on his Rules debut in May. Sports the tongue tie he wore regularly in the pointing field now hurdling. Mopped up in points before finishing sixth in a hunter chase; vulnerable on hurdle debut. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (40/1 -150%)Magneticattraction |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Magneticattraction 40/1, Cost £13,000 after winning the last of her 4 starts in Irish points (October 2023). It's taken a bit of time for new connections to get her to the track and a watching brief is advised unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Posted a modest RPR in winning her Irish point 12 months ago (on yielding). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WICKED THOUGHTS has shown plenty of ability in his three starts under Rules to date and he can get off the mark at the first time of asking over obstacles on his seasonal reappearance. Plenty of improvement can be expected from Paul Nicholls' runner and he makes most appeal. Rosscahill appears to be an interesting recruit for the Nigel Twiston-Davies team after his point-to-point success last year and he is considered, while Neo King is fancied to follow them home.
Paul Nicholls bumper winner WICKED THOUGHTS gets the nod to make a successful start to his hurdle career, although a strong market move for Nigel Twiston-Davies Irish point winner Rosscahill would put a slightly different slant on things. Small Town Hero may prove best of the rest.
The two who stand out are WICKED THOUGHTS through his bumper form and Rosscahill on the promise of his point win.

1st (4)  (8/1 +0%)Booster Bob |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Booster Bob 8/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in 2m novice at Sandown in December. Pulled up at Newcastle on his final run in March but still worthy of consideration on his first go in this sphere. Won first three hurdles; well beaten twice since but it's far too early to write him off. |
|||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +38%)Just Over Land |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Just Over Land 4/1, Consistent sort last season who got off the mark in 2m Lingfield handicap hurdle in February. Needs considering on his fencing bow. Ended last season in good form over hurdles; could easily have more to offer over fences. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/2 -157%)Asta La Pasta |
9/2(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Asta La Pasta 9/2, A three-time hurdles winner last season around 2m. Off 7 months but has won off a break so he's much respected on his chase debut for top yard. 3-6 as a novice hurdler last season and could have a good future over fences. |
|||
4th (8)  (5/1 +55%)Idefix De Ciergues |
5/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Idefix De Ciergues 5/1, Remains winless over hurdles but this reliable sort posted a solid fourth of 14 in novice here (21.9f, good to soft) in May. Can make his presence felt over the larger obstacles now. 0-7 over hurdles but largely consistent last season; drops back in trip for chase debut. |
|||
5th (6)  (18/1 +28%)Knockanore |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Knockanore 18/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler but off the track since a below-form fourth at Newbury (20.5f, heavy) in March. Still commands respect starting out in this sphere. Off since below-par hurdle run in March but of interest if judged on last October's run. |
|||
6th (5)  (8/1 +43%)Minella Blueway |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Minella Blueway 8/1, Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark under Rules when easily landing Chepstow maiden (19.5f) in December. Ended the season with a very good handicap second here (3m) in April so must enter calculations on his chasing bow. Second in 3m handicap hurdle here in April; might find 2m too sharp on chase debut. |
|||
|U| (1)  (4/1 -60%)Moveit Like Minnie |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Moveit Like Minnie 4/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler around 2m and he cosily justified good support on his debut over fences at Stratford (17f, good) last month. Has more to offer up 6 lb so he's a player for yard among the winners. Returned to form with clearcut success on last month's chasing debut; must be considered. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (8/1 -14%)Ito Ditto |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ito Ditto 8/1, Much improved last term and a three-time scorer, signing off witb 2m4f Lingfield handicap success. Very much one to consider now going over fences. Progressive over hurdles last season (three wins); enters calculations on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE got off the mark at the first attempt over larger obstacles when scoring at Stratford last month and he can put that experience to good use. Asta La Pasta had been progressing nicely last season over hurdles before struggling to land a blow in Grade 3 company, and he makes plenty of appeal, while Ito Ditto heads the remainder.
Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in rude health at present so his MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE is taken to follow up his stylish debut Stratford success and go 2-2 over fences. Lots of these bring potential starting out chasing, notably Asta La Pasta and Ito Ditto and they can chase home the selection in that order. Just Over Land completes the shortlist.
There are some interesting prospects in this field but MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE has already made a very good start to his chasing career.

1st (4)  (11/10 +69%)Lump Sum |
11/10(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lump Sum 11/10, Useful novice hurdler last season, including a win in the Grade 2 Dovecote at Kempton (2m, soft) in February. His opening handicap mark looks workable and big player if fully primed after 6 months off. Grade 2 novice winner in February; could have improvement to come in handicaps this term. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 +0%)Steel Ally |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Steel Ally 7/2, Won a soft-ground novice hurdle at Wincanton in February and shaped well when placed in 2m handicaps at Newbury and Sandown in March. One of 2 leading contenders in this for the stable and it'll be interesting to see which one the betting prefers. Made most when third of 20 in hot novice handicap at Sandown at end of last season. |
|||
3rd (9)  (14/1 -27%)Black Hawk Eagle |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Black Hawk Eagle 14/1, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner for Noel Meade who has made a good start to life in Britain, winning 2m handicaps at Wincanton and Hereford last winter. Very disappointing in the Morebattle at Kelso on final start but no surprise to see him resume his progression this season. Off since disappointing run in March but won his previous two races; a player if on song. |
|||
4th (6)  (20/1 -67%)Issam |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Issam 20/1, Consistent sort who scored in the mud at Exeter (18.5f) and Wincanton (2½m) last season. Speedy enough to cope with the shorter trip and has gone well fresh before. Ended last season with 2m4f win in first-time cheekpieces; return to 2m not sure to suit. |
|||
5th (3)  (6/1 -71%)Go Dante |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Go Dante 6/1, Had Jipcot behind in third when landing the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March. Ended the season with a creditable fifth of 19 at the Aintree Grand National meeting. Should be in the shake-up if ready to roll after his summer break. Two wins last season, the latter in Imperial Cup in Sandown; further progress is possible. |
|||
6th (1)  (12/1 -71%)Pembroke |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pembroke 12/1, Useful novice chaser last season. Similar standard over hurdles in 2022/23 and returns to the smaller obstacles after a 6-month break. Useful novice chaser last season; now back hurdling off a lower mark; one to consider. |
|||
7th (8)  (17/2 -113%)Jipcot |
17/2(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jipcot 17/2, Took time to click in Britain but won 2m Huntingdon handicap hurdle in March. Impressed with how he travelled when third of 16 in Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) later that month (final start for Ben Pauling). Could have his name on a good handicap this term. Due to run 3.20 Chepstow Saturday. Placed in Imperial Cup at Sandown in March; of significant interest on stable debut. |
|||
8th (5)  (28/1 -27%)Fiveonefive |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fiveonefive 28/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17f, good to soft) in June. Not so good in a Galway handicap next time but he didn't run too badly on the Flat at Listowel last month. Yard won this in 2022 Placed in this last year and good winner at Cartmel in June but others have more potential. |
|||
9th (7)  (125/1 -279%)Carbon King |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Carbon King 125/1, Three-time winner over hurdles in Ireland. Also scored over fences here last December but that was a standout effort in his first season with this yard. Others are more compelling. Won 2m4f chase by 14l on latest start in April; back hurdling in much stronger race. |
|||
10th (10)  (40/1 -82%)Wewillgowithplanb |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Wewillgowithplanb 40/1, Hurdle winner in Ireland who struck twice over fences for Richard Bandey, latterly at Leicester (2m, heavy) in February. Reverts to hurdles for new yard after a £20,000 sale in May. Easily won three-runner chase in February; has much more on his plate on stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Sam Thomas has two interesting representatives in the Dovecote winner Lump Sum and STEEL ALLY, with preference for the latter. The six-year-old posted a solid third in the Novices' Championship Final at Sandown in April and he looks just the type to keep improving. Pembroke's novice chase campaign last season didn't end up as forecast, but he shouldn't be underestimated operating off a lower mark over hurdles.
Sam Thomas holds a strong hand, with LUMP SUM and Steel Ally appealing as types who can kick on again in handicaps on the back of promising novice hurdle campaigns last season. The former gets the vote with Dylan Johnston taking 5 lb off but it will be very interesting to see how the betting splits them. Imperial Cup winner Go Dante merits respect, while Jipcot would also enter the reckoning if showing up after/instead of Chepstow on Saturday.
The pick is STEEL ALLY (nap), who ran a big race from the front when third in a very competitive novice handicap at Sandown in April.

1st (3)  (7/2 -27%)I'm On My Way |
7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) I'm On My Way 7/2, Progressive sort who has won both her completed starts in handicaps, responding well at Southwell (3m) on latter occasion 6 months ago. Stable is going very well so she's a player on her seasonal return. Game winner at Southwell in March and now 2-3 in handicaps; Harry Cobden booked again. |
|||
2nd (12)  (4/1 +67%)Getaway With You |
4/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Getaway With You 4/1, Proved hit and miss for Paul Webber but has started out well for his curent yard, sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) in June. Warrants respect. 0-11 over hurdles but ran well in defeat on stable debut in May (2m4f); up in trip today. |
|||
3rd (4)  (14/1 +0%)Jetaway To Getaway |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jetaway To Getaway 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who beat only one on his handicap debut at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Significantly up in trip with cheekpieces added now. Could still do better, especially if market vibes are positive. Well beaten over 2m on last month's handicap debut; may fare better over this trip. |
|||
4th (10)  (12/1 -71%)Lady Harriett |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Lady Harriett 12/1, A fair maiden hurdler but she beat only one in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 19 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Flopped badly last time but her Cartmel second two starts ago makes her of strong interest. |
|||
5th (9)  (5/1 +29%)Blackacre |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Blackacre 5/1, Remains a maiden but he recorded a creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) when last seen out in May. Not ruled out after a break. 0-7 over hurdles but was placed off today's mark over C&D on latest outing in May. |
|||
6th (14)  (25/1 +24%)Pour Une Raison |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Pour Une Raison 25/1, On a long losing run but he wasn't disgraced on his first run since leaving Richard Mitchell when sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 19 days ago. 4 lb "wrong" in the weights here though. Shaped fairly well when sixth on recent stable debut; might come on for the run. |
|||
7th (8)  (8/1 -7%)Gavin |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gavin 8/1, Course winner who posted a good third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Much respected with hood back on. Arrested decline when third at Market Rasen (2m2f) last month; unraced beyond 2m4f. |
|||
8th (7)  (50/1 -25%)Tip Top Tonto |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tip Top Tonto 50/1, A fair 2m4f hurdles winner at his best but he offered little both runs this summer for John & Rhys Flint. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. Won in the spring but last two runs were very disappointing; with another new stable now. |
|||
9th (11)  (66/1 -100%)Tis But A Scratch |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tis But A Scratch 66/1, In good nick without winning until pulled up in 3m2f handicap at Newton Abbot in June. Needs to get back on track. Placed twice at Uttoxeter in May but is 0-16 over hurdles and others look more interesting. |
|||
10th (5)  (28/1 -133%)Shesupincourt |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shesupincourt 28/1, Dual winner (around 23f) last term but he's not the most reliable and was held on his final two starts. Others appeal more. Out of form at end of last season; cheekpieces (worn for both wins) missing today. |
|||
11th (1)  (13/2 -18%)Always Busy |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Always Busy 13/2, Winless over hurdles last term and off since falling heavily 1st in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running on his return. Second to bang-in-form mare in March; still on good mark; returns from a break. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (7/1 -75%)Abbeyhill |
7/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Abbeyhill 7/1, Irish point scorer who ended last season on the up, going in at Plumpton and Catterick (25f). Has a 9 month absence to overcome here but still merits serious consideration with yard among the winners. In good form last autumn/winter, winning twice; back from nine-month break today. |

|PU| (2)  (100/1 -52%)Quickbuck |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Quickbuck 100/1, Fair hurdler at his best but he has lost his way and was pulled up in 2m4f Plumpton handicap on his yard debut last month. Can only be watched. Pulled up when 100-1 for recent stable debut; blinkers added today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
At first glance a 10lb hike appears to be on the harsh side for I'M ON MY WAY following her narrow victory at Southwell in March but, with the second and third undefeated in three subsequent outings, Neil Mulholland's mare looks capable of following up. The selection's stablemate Abbeyhill was also on an upward trajectory last season and it will be interesting to see how the seven-year-old compares in the market. Lady Harriett and Shesupincourt are also noted.
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and in-form Neil Mulholland could hold the key with his upwardly-mobile duo ABBEYHILL and I'm On My Way fancied to fight out the finish on their respective reappearances. Getaway With You, Gavin and Jetaway To Getaway appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
It might pay to give another chance to LADY HARRIETT, who disappointed last time but is a big player if judged on her penultimate run.

1st (2)  (9/4 +50%)Boston Joe |
9/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Boston Joe 9/4, Remains a sketchy jumper over fences but capitalised on some lenient handicapping to enhance his good course record here in 11-runner C&D handicap in May. Well held off revised mark next 2 starts later that month but off since and has been eased 2 lb. Inconsistent but he's a capable C&D winner and has won after a break in the past. |
|||
2nd (5)  (6/1 -9%)Supposedtobe |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Supposedtobe 6/1, Dual hurdles winner but hasn't looked a natural in this sphere despite being placed on his last 2 starts. Didn't look at home around Fontwell before running on to be third there 19 days ago. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/1 -38%)Pittsburg |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pittsburg 9/1, Took advantage of his fall in the weights when recording a third win over fences at Uttoxeter (16f, soft) in July. Never involved in 2 runs on the Flat in August but hinted at still being in form back over jumps last 2 starts. Capable if at his very best but not entirely sure what to expect from him. |
|||
4th (8)  (4/1 +71%)The Big Man |
4/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Big Man 4/1, Last of 5 sole start in bumpers and down the field in varied events over hurdles. Makes chase debut. Well-bred 5yo with low mileage and connections are evidently keen to get him over fences. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 +29%)Hokelami |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hokelami 5/1, Getting the hang of thing over fences, taking his form to a new level when scoring at Sedgefield in March. Excuses at Huntingdon later that month so can bounce back if ready to go. In career-best form earlier this year and was struck into when last seen in March. |
|||
6th (9)  (28/1 +15%)Dancing Dani |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dancing Dani 28/1, Poor and long-standing maiden under Rules. 0-21 under rules but has ability and could nick a race off this low a mark. |
|||
7th (4)  (17/2 -353%)Johnny Mac |
17/2(-353%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Johnny Mac 17/2, Has shown improved form since joining his current yard, completing hat-trick at Leicester when last seen in January, his resolution on show yet again in gaining another verdict of a length or less. Capable of even better over fences so big shout if ready to go after 9 months off. Unbeaten for this yard after rattling off a hat-trick in 2m handicaps last winter. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (11/1 -10%)Kadex |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kadex 11/1, It was a poor race in which he opened his chase account at Plumpton a year ago and he has generally underperformed since. Left Lucy Wadham and had a breathing operation since last seen over 4 months ago. Lost his way for previous yard and 2m trip is a concern even if he's back on song. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
JOHNNY MAC is a chaser on the upgrade having won all three starts since joining Matt Sheppard's yard. He defied a 10lb rise when beating a subsequent dual winner at Leicester in January and the nine-year-old can continue winning ways having gone well fresh in the past. Supposedtobe produced a late rally to take third at Fontwell last month and has a shout off the same mark in this lower grade, while Hokelami is worth a second glance on his reappearance.
Low-mileage 9-y-o JOHNNY MAC is 3 from 3 over fences since joining his current yard and has won on his comeback before, so gets the vote over Boston Joe, who has a good record here and can also go well fresh. Hokelami looks best of the others.
It could pay to take a chance on chasing debutant THE BIG MAN, a well-bred 5yo who didn't hang about over hurdles.

1st (2)  (5/1 -50%)Full Force Gale |
5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Full Force Gale 5/1, £60,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (h122), 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to bumper winner (stayed 3m over hurdles) Neville. Interesting newcomer. Second foal from a fair 2m3f hurdle winner; stable has modest strike-rate in bumpers. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7/1 -40%)Koapey |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Koapey 7/1, €52,000 3-y-o, Manatee gelding. Brother to fairly useful 19f chase winner in France Juste Milieu. Dam placed in French bumpers. One to note for stable with good record in this sphere. 52,000euros 3yo; brother to a French chase winner; stable does pretty well in bumpers. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6/5 +56%)Tamarind Bay |
6/5(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tamarind Bay 6/5, Promising second at Kempton on debut, then disappointed at the same track. Has left Victor Dartnall and joined an in-form yard since, so worthy of interest. Second at Kempton in February; leading contender on stable debut. |
|||
4th (1)  (6/1 -71%)Desert Halo |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Desert Halo 6/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Declan Queally when fourth of 10 in bumper (17/2) at Southwell (15.8f, heavy). Off 7 months. May yet do better. Second on debut in Ireland in 2023 and ran okay for new stable in February. |
|||
5th (7)  (16/1 -167%)All Inn Hand |
16/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) All Inn Hand 16/1, Out of a bumper winner and has showed something to work on first time out. Failed to build on that at Worcester next time but had excuses and she's been allowed a 3-month break since. Respectable third in run-of-the-mill race on debut; disappointing favourite next time. |
|||
6th (5)  (11/2 +8%)Kate Of The Lodge |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kate Of The Lodge 11/2, £50,000 but after easily getting off the mark in Irish points at second attempt (Mar 31). Betting interesting for a stable that does well at this track. Bought for £50,000 after winning Irish point on heavy ground in March; market may guide. |
|||
7th (6)  (100/1 -52%)Whatmakes Honey B |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Whatmakes Honey B 100/1, €4,500 3-y-o, Workforce mare. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 2¾m) Storm of Swords. Maiden Irish pointer, pulled up last 2 starts (latest May 12). Makes little appeal. 0-8 in Irish points, having been pulled up on her last two appearances; rules debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TAMARIND BAY showed enough to suggest he can win a bumper at this level when finishing runner-up at Kempton on his racecourse debut. The four-year-old has switched yards since disappointing at the same track in March and a bold bid is anticipated. Desert Halo is another likely improver based on last year's second at Ballinrobe, while Kate Of The Lodge won an Irish point-to-point in good style and debuts under Rules with a shout.
KATE OF THE LODGE opened her account with ease in a point at the second attempt and has been found a reasonable opening on Rules debut, so she's preferred to Tamarind Bay, who sets the standard. Koapey is a notable newcomer.
This looks good for TAMARIND BAY, who ran well in two much deeper races than this at Kempton for another stable last season.

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.
