1st (1)  (5/2 +55%)Admiral Stewart |
5/2(+55%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Admiral Stewart 5/2, £130,000 5-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/chaser The Crafty Butcher. Successful on second of 2 starts in Irish points and fitted with a tongue tie, he showed plenty when second at Hexham last month. Major player on hurdles bow. Point winner; well-held second at Hexham (bumper) but the winner is useful. |
|||
2nd (2)  (1/1 +43%)Buckna |
1/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Buckna 1/1, £55,000 3-y-o, £350,000 4-y-o, seventh foal: half-brother to poor chaser Kildrum (3m winner, by Milan). Dam unraced. Won sole start in Irish points in March and changed hands for plenty after. Has to be of major interest. Cost £350,000 after running on well to win an Irish point and should be a nice prospect. |
|||
3rd (9)  (4/1 -33%)Walk On High |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Walk On High 4/1, Shaped well when fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, soft) in December 2022. Set to be placed before falling heavily in November 2023 and off the track since. Hood on and he sets the hurdles standard. Now back from yet another absence but the ability is there; had wind surgery. |
|||
4th (5)  (22/1 -38%)Let Me Go Boys |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Let Me Go Boys 22/1, Purchased for £82,000 after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in February. Shaped as though in need of the run in a bumper at Cheltenham last month. 25-1 for a Cheltenham bumper last month and ran accordingly; best watched for now. |
|||
5th (12)  (14/1 -87%)Edmond |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Edmond 14/1, Nathaniel mare who found some improvement when off the mark at fourth attempt in a Newton Abbot bumper (16.8f) for Rod Millman 18 months ago. Joined good NH yard ahead of this belated hurdles debut and the betting can prove a useful guide. Won a Newton Abbot bumper for Rod Millman; might be vulnerable on this occasion. |
|||
6th (7)  (22/1 +21%)Slide Rule |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Slide Rule 22/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Dam, bumper winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 3m) Coningsby. Strong in the betting fitted with a tongue tie for debut but failed to meet expectations at Southwell in May. Bit more like it at Worcester 2 months later but more certainly needed switched to hurdling. Shaped like a stayer when never that dangerous in two good-ground bumpers. |
|||
7th (10)  (250/1 -25%)Absence Of Malice |
250/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Absence Of Malice 250/1, Looks limited. Has shown pretty much nothing so far and instantly opposable. |
|||
8th (3)  (18/1 -13%)Harry Junior |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Harry Junior 18/1, €65,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Closely related to useful hurdler Harry Senior. Displayed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 9 in a bumper at Chepstow a month ago. Hurdles debut. Nice pedigree; should improve on his remote fifth in a Chepstow bumper. |
|||
9th (14)  (200/1 -33%)Kiss Me Moon |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Kiss Me Moon 200/1, Ran to only a poor level in bumpers at Newbury/Stratford during the spring and always behind on hurdles debut. Minor bumper promise and was 100-1 when tailed off on her hurdling debut here. |
|||
10th (11)  (100/1 +33%)Arctic Angel |
100/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Arctic Angel 100/1, Offered something to work on when third in Newton Abbot bumper in May but no show over hurdles so far. Beaten 3l in a weak bumper on debut but hurdling form is very forgettable. |
|||
11th (15)  (150/1 0%)Lake's Aventurine |
150/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Lake's Aventurine 150/1, Minor promise only in 4 starts. Hard to draw on many positives from her first four races; outclassed in a maiden. |
|||
12th (13)  (250/1 -67%)Grayland |
250/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Grayland 250/1, No impact in bumpers 4 months apart. Tailed off in her bumpers and likely to be outclassed in a race of this nature. |
|||
13th (16)  (100/1 -52%)Lyle View |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Lyle View 100/1, Runner-up on the last of 3 outings in points and showed a bit on Rules debut at Kelso last month. Suffered heavy defeat at Chepstow since. Runner-up in a point; beaten 16l and 73l over hurdles and one for handicaps later on. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (125/1 -25%)Illico Du Breuil |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Illico Du Breuil 125/1, Kapgarde gelding. Dam unraced sister to winning hurdler/smart chaser (17f-21f winner) Sidi Bouknadel. Maiden Irish pointer and went with little encouragement on hurdles debut in June 2023. Tongue tie on. Placed once in six Irish points; beaten 32l over C&D in June last year and off since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Buckna was purchased for 350,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sale in March following his point success the week before in Ireland and the four-year-old commands plenty of respect making his Rules debut. However, the vote goes to ADMIRAL STEWART, who may well have needed his first run for Jamie Snowden more than the market anticipated when runner-up in a Hexham bumper and that experience won't be lost on him. Walk In The Hills should prove happier going left handed after a disappointing hurdles bow at Exeter.
Connections went to £350,000 to acquire BUCKNA following his point win in the spring so hopes have to be high that he will follow up on hurdles debut for his in-form yard. Walk On High is an obvious threat, along with Admiral Stewart.
It's probably best to draw a line through how WALK IN THE HILLS performed on his hurdling debut. His bumper form was good.

(4)  (9/4 +59%)Montys Soldier |
9/4(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Montys Soldier 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden who recorded a good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut with this longer trip a likely plus. 0-4 over hurdles but this impressive Irish point winner looks interesting on chase debut. |
|||
(8)  (9/2 +36%)Bridget Mary |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Bridget Mary 9/2, Made a winning chasing start at Stratford in October and followed it up with a good fourth of 13 in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap 19 days ago, especially as set a lot to do. Capable of better still back up in trip. Big shout. Made good start to chasing career this autumn and this move back up in trip will suit. |
|||
(2)  (5/1 -25%)Hobb's Delight |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hobb's Delight 5/1, Progressive over hurdles and he shaped well when second of 6 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) on his debut over fences 30 days ago, just failing. Sure to improve. Likely player. Went very close on recent chasing debut and commands respect. |
|||
(1)  (7/1 +0%)Shillanavogy |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shillanavogy 7/1, Advanced his form on his chasing debut when second of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, good to soft) in May. Can give a good account after a break. Close second to bang-in-form rival on chasing debut in May; high on the list. |
|||
(11)  (8/1 +33%)Try The Money |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Try The Money 8/1, Fair maiden hurdler who got back on track when third of 8 in handicap hurdle here (20f) 7 months ago. Possibilities on his chase debut. Placed on 2m4f hurdle here in April and open to improvement as a staying chaser this term. |
|||
(7)  (8/1 -33%)Wonder Of The Seas |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wonder Of The Seas 8/1, Resumed with a good second of 12 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 45 days ago, although he hindered his cause by briefly trying to run out at the second last. Still enters calculations. Runner-up in three of his four chases and probably still on workable mark; considered. |
|||
(3)  (17/2 +15%)The Scorpion King |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Scorpion King 17/2, Ungenuine type but he posted a good second of 12 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f, heavy) 32 days ago, staying on well. Needs to back it up. Finished well for second on seasonal debut but hs developed a tendency to race lazily. |
|||
(10)  (16/1 +20%)Prime Pretender |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Prime Pretender 16/1, Remains a maiden after 20 runs. Blinkered for 1st time when only fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, soft) 30 days ago. Visor retried now. Back under rules with three respectable runs this summer/autumn but others appeal more. |
|||
(12)  (20/1 -67%)Wide To West |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Wide To West 20/1, Unreliable sort who got off the mark in 7-runner handicap chase over C&D in April. Needs to back it up on his seasonal return off a 8 lb higher mark. Stayed on dourly for C&D win in April but 8lb rise asks quite a lot of him. |
|||
(6)  (25/1 +11%)Henry Box Brown |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Henry Box Brown 25/1, Gained a first success over fences at Worcester (20f) in August but he has failed to back it up at Hereford and Fakenham since. Others are more appealing. Won readily at Worcester in August but has become a hard horse to predict. |
|||
(13)  (28/1 -40%)Saxon Queen |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Saxon Queen 28/1, Unreliable sort who flashed his tail when a below-par sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good) 15 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now. Ran well on chase debut in September 2023 but has not fired this year; headgear switched. |
|||
(9)  (33/1 +18%)Casting Aspersions |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Casting Aspersions 33/1, Runner-up both completed starts in points but only modest form shown over hurdles. Goes over fences with plenty more required. Did not show much over hurdles but moves up in trip for this chase/handicap debut. |
|||
(5)  (50/1 +24%)The Big Reveal |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Big Reveal 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. Off 20 months before pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, heavy) on debut over fences 35 days ago. Still very unexposed under rules but was pulled up when 40-1 for chase/handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HOBB'S DELIGHT produced a career-best effort when just denied on his first start over fences at Plumpton last month and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop him from going one better. Wide To West was beginning to get the hang of things at the back end of last season with the seven-year-old scoring over C&D in April. Others to note are The Scorpion King and Montys Soldier.
Rebecca Curtis' mare BRIDGET MAY has made an excellent start to life in this sphere and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways having been set a lot to do when fourth at Uttoxeter last time out. Hobb's Delight shaped well on his debut in this sphere when runner-up at Plumpton so rates a major threat. Wonder Of The Seas, Monty's Soldier and Shillanavogy all need factoring in too.
Perhaps the one with most potential is chasing debutant MONTYS SOLDIER, who impressed on last year's Irish point debut.

(7)  (6/4 +45%)Blue Las |
6/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Blue Las 6/4, Fairly useful form when landing 10-runner bumper at Uttoxeter 7 months ago. Very much one to consider now going over hurdles debut with her stamina drawn out more. The winner of two slow-ground bumpers and the latest form now looks very solid. |
|||
(6)  (3/1 +10%)Stone's Throw |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Stone's Throw 3/1, Debut bumper winner for Paul Webber at Southwell in May and he shaped well on yard/hurdling debut when third of 12 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft) 27 days ago, finishing strongly. Big shout stepping up in trip. Got behind early but stayed on well for third behind a talented filly at Ludlow (2m). |
|||
(1)  (10/3 -21%)Andy Amo |
10/3(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Andy Amo 10/3, Made a promising start in this sphere when second of 10 in novice hurdle here (21.9f, soft) 38 days ago. Looks open to progress. Player. His second here was over further but brings strong form credentials into this race. |
|||
(3)  (6/1 -9%)Jig's Forge |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jig's Forge 6/1, €25,000 3-y-o, £75,000 5-y-o, Westerner gelding. Dam (b82) lightly raced in bumpers. Got off the mark in Irish points at third attempt in April so of obvious interest on his debut. Fetched £75,000 at the sales after winning his third Irish point by 4l. |
|||
(13)  (17/2 +58%)Kalista Love |
17/2(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Kalista Love 17/2, Fifth of 12 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. May do better. Outpaced but kept on over 2m5f at Ludlow (mares race); should improve on that. |
|||
(2)  (12/1 -167%)Jack To Bat |
12/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jack To Bat 12/1, £30,000 3-y-o, £130,000 4-y-o, Jack Hobbs gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Lofgren and modest chaser Gatacre Street. Runner-up in an Irish point. Considered newcomer. Chased home a useful opponent in his point and then changed hands for £130,000. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 +0%)Johnny Boy |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Johnny Boy 33/1, 6/1, last of 6 in bumper here 7 months ago. In good hands so not written off now making his hurdles debut up in trip. Got outpaced and tailed off in a soft-ground bumper here in April; best watched for now. |
|||
(8)  (40/1 -100%)Kate Of The Lodge |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kate Of The Lodge 40/1, £50,000 but after easily getting off the mark in Irish points but only sixth of 7 in bumper here 38 days ago. Worth another chance on her hurdles bow. Only 11-2 for a bumper here but ran freely and didn't get home. |
|||
(5)  (100/1 0%)Livy's Lad |
100/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Livy's Lad 100/1, Fourth of 6 sole start in points but has offered little both starts under Rules this autumn. Nothing positive to report so far, including on two visits to Uttoxeter (2m4f). |
|||
(11)  (200/1 -100%)Sheeka Supreme |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sheeka Supreme 200/1, Successful in Irish points in October 2022 but eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft, 80/1) on NH debut 40 days ago. Hooded now. Point winner; last month's hurdling debut ended in a heavy defeat at odds of 80-1. |
|||
(12)  (200/1 -203%)Hettie Henigan |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Hettie Henigan 200/1, 33/1, eighth of 12 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 172 days ago. Makes hurdles debut up in trip. Dropped away in a Worcester bumper (good), trailing the principals by over 20l. |
|||
(9)  (300/1 -50%)Prophet Squeeze |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Prophet Squeeze 300/1, Fifth both completed starts in Irish points but very low-key start over hurdles. Tailed off when falling late on in a Fakenham maiden for which she was 200-1. |
|||
(10)  (300/1 -50%)Royal Malinas |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Royal Malinas 300/1, Third both starts in Irish points in late 2022 but off a long time and limited promise boh runs over hurdles this autumn. Third in two Irish points but has shown nothing so far over hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BLUE LAS made it back-to-back victories at Uttoxeter in April, having improved with each start in bumpers, and the six-year-old is expected to progress now with her attentions switched to hurdling. Andy Amo is entitled to step forward from his second here over further last month, while Jig's Forge, a 75,000-pound purchase at Aintree in the spring, and Stone's Throw head the remainder.
STONE'S THROW made a promising start for Billy Aprahamian when a strong-finishing Ludlow third and can build on it now his stamina is drawn out more and get off the mark. Course runner-up Andy Amo also has better days ahead of him though so rates a big danger, while hurdling newcomers Blue Las, Jig's Forge and Jack To Bat all bring potential too.
Rebecca Curtis won this maiden in 2019 and 2020 and ANDY AMO was probably beaten by a very good horse here last month.

(7)  (5/2 -33%)Greenways |
5/2(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Greenways 5/2, Justified support having joined this yard from Dominic Ffrench Davis when readily getting off the mark in a 10-runner handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f, good) 8 days ago, Overcame a pace bias to score there, so he's highly respected under a penalty. Scored on recent stable debut at Hereford; effectively only 4lb higher under penalty here. |
|||
(6)  (7/2 -27%)Lady Harriett |
7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lady Harriett 7/2, Ran a progressive close at Cartmel in August and belatedly confimred the promse of that effort when comfortably landing a 15-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft, 9/1) 10 days ago. Shortlisted under a penalty. Scored by over 7l in first-time cheekpieces over C&D last week; contender under penalty. |
|||
(1)  (4/1 +0%)Fresh Speculation |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fresh Speculation 4/1, Has made a promising start in handicaps, eventually catching the eye with late progress when third in a 9-runner female riders event at Stratford (16.3f, heavy). Step back up in trip will suit and he's shortlisted. Third in all three handicaps and likely to be right in the thick of things again. |
|||
(3)  (5/1 +23%)Atreides |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Atreides 5/1, Remains a maiden but has made the frame on each of his last 5 outings, albeit beaten a long way when third at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Went close two starts ago but was not in same form last time; now 0-12 over hurdles. |
|||
(9)  (7/1 +56%)Just Aidan |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Just Aidan 7/1, Hinted at ability in 3 quick runs over hurdles initially and chased home 2 plainly a long way ahead of their marks on handicap debut at Wincanton in March. Didn't see his race out fully at Chepstow next time but he's not fully ruled out of making the frame after 7 months off. Ended last season with two pretty good handicap runs but needs to find extra here. |
|||
(5)  (16/1 +52%)The Cypriot |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Cypriot 16/1, Has shown modest form only once from 5 outings over hurdles and he's opposable again. Posed no threat when well beaten in his first two handicaps; had wind op last month. |
|||
(8)  (22/1 -57%)Jukebox Joker |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jukebox Joker 22/1, Well held in 3 novice hurdles last month. Could do better now handicapping over longer distances but difficult to fancy on what he's shown so far. Didn't really show any significant promise in three 2m novice hurdles last month; new trip. |
|||
(2)  (28/1 -40%)Dish Of The Day |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dish Of The Day 28/1, Hinted at ability sole outing in bumpers and again offered something to work on when fifth of 8 on his Lingfield hurdling debut, but efforts since have left plenty to be desired and he doesn't looks especially well treated now handicapping. Yet to build upon last season's encouraging hurdle debut but may still have potential. |
|||
(10)  (50/1 -79%)Owl Of Athens |
50/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Owl Of Athens 50/1, Yet to better poor form over hurdles and is opposable again. Well beaten in first three handicaps, the latest his seasonal debut 12 days ago. |
|||
(4)  (50/1 -52%)Carved In Stone |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Carved In Stone 50/1, Bumper winner for Hugo Palmer but hasn't yet replicated that level of form over hurdles and finished well beaten on his debut for this yard at Chepstow a fortnight ago. Hard to fancy. Promising in bumpers but has made disappointing start to hurdling career; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LADY HARRIETT showed a liking for first-time cheekpieces when bolting up over C&D earlier in the month and she now has a 7lb penalty to carry. Considering the manner of that victory, she could prove very difficult to beat again. Greenways made a victorious start for the Tom Symonds stable at Hereford and should mount a bold bid, while Fresh Speculation makes most appeal of the remainder.
GREENWAYS was value for extra when making a winning debut for the Tom Symonds yard at Hereford last week and he's fancied to follow up. Tthis contest isn't without dangers though, with the similarly penalised Lady Harriett meriting plenty of respect after her recent C&D success, whilst Fresh Speculation made an encouraging return at Stratford and promises to benefit from the return to this trip.
Effectively only 4lb higher than for his recent Hereford success, GREENWAYS (nap) can follow up under his penalty.

(6)  (10/3 +58%)One Last Glance |
10/3(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) One Last Glance 10/3, Belatedly off the mark in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) on return. Just respectable third back over fences at Plumpton since. Could do with brushing up his jumping in this sphere. Back from break with two good efforts this autumn (hurdle/chase); can make presence felt. |
|||
(14)  (4/1 +71%)My Granny Lily |
4/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) My Granny Lily 4/1, Got off the mark in 2m handicap hurdle at Ffos Las in February and ended the season in good form. Probably needed return and back over fences now (fell at third in chase bow 11 months ago). Course winner over hurdles; fell in only previous chase; others have more pressing claims. |
|||
(7)  (4/1 +43%)Supasunrise |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Supasunrise 4/1, Creditable second of 13 in handicap chase (9/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) on return and worth another chance to build on that having failed to stay at Stratford next time. Second to very progressive rival two starts ago and again ran well on latest outing. |
|||
(3)  (11/2 +54%)Lelant |
11/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lelant 11/2, Fair form without success over hurdles. Not so good over fences so far, though no doubt becoming well handicapped in this sphere. Headgear goes on. 15-race maiden who needs the addition of cheekpieces to give him a boost. |
|||
(1)  (8/1 -33%)Lermoos Legend |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lermoos Legend 8/1, Ended losing run in handicap here 10 days ago, though the carnage at 4 out left him with a simple task. Opposable under a 7 lb penalty. Clearcut 2m course winner last week; should go well again under 7lb penalty. |
|||
(5)  (9/1 -6%)Bobbi's Beauty |
9/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bobbi's Beauty 9/1, Point winner who stepped up on her hurdle exploits when making a successful switch to fences at Leicester (20.1f) in February. Might have found next race coming too soon before creditable fourth back over hurdles at Southwell. Worth another chance back in this sphere on return. Chase winner in February; absent since April but could still have untapped potential. |
|||
(12)  (10/1 +29%)Faitque De L'isle |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Faitque De L'isle 10/1, Has been given a big chance by the handicapper after an underwhelming 2023/24 campaign and shaped as if needing the run after 12 months off (left Michael Scudamore in interim) at Stratford last month. Not dismissed. Ran well for long way on recent seasonal/stable debut; a possible if able to build on that. |
|||
(2)  (11/1 +67%)Ileny Royale |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ileny Royale 11/1, Placed twice from 4 starts in minor events for Gabriel Leenders in France. Offered little over hurdles for this yard and was soon left behind on chase bow/return. Shaped with promise before weakening on seasonal/chase debut; can improve. |
|||
(11)  (18/1 -29%)Rock On Rita |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Rock On Rita 18/1, Point winner who won 2 mares' handicap hurdles in 2022 but struggled in a trio of starts over fences when last seen almost 2 years ago. Hard to recommend. Absent since three underwhelming chase runs in 2022-23 season but still worth market check. |
|||
(8)  (20/1 -43%)Higgs |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Higgs 20/1, Has been unreliable but went through a good spell in May, scoring twice, including here (3m). Might have found busy spell catching up with him final start so no surprise if he bounced back after a break. Dual 3m chase winner in spring; off since poor run in June; others appeal more. |
|||
(9)  (66/1 +0%)Esperti |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Esperti 66/1, Little impact over hurdles for this yard and fared no better sent chasing last 2 starts. Well beaten in both chases this autumn and difficult to enthuse over. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Lermoos Legend relished the drop in distance when hosing up at this venue on his latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts, despite his 7lb penalty. However, it may pay to side with PEP TALKING, who regained the winning thread in this grade at Uttoxeter at the start of the month and a 5lb rise looks fair. The six-year-old looks up to completing a double, while Higgs is noted too.
PEP TALKING has made an encouraging start for this yard, showing improved form to score at Uttoxeter last time, and looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise. Supasunrise is feared most returned to a more suitable trip, while Bobbi's Beauty is worth another chance to back up her chase debut win.
Preference is for PEP TALKING, who doubled his chasing tally at Uttoxeter recently and is not yet fully exposed over fences.

(11)  (7/2 +56%)Wonderweasle |
7/2(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Wonderweasle 7/2, Belatedly built on the promise shown in novice company to get off the mark here in March and ran to a similar level when third here (20f, soft) the following month. Should remain competitive provided she's ready to roll on reappearance. In good form on heavy ground here at end of last season; back from a break today. |
|||
(6)  (4/1 +11%)Hedera Park |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hedera Park 4/1, Gained compensation for her final-flight fall at Worcester earlier in the season when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) earlier this month and ran at least as well under a penalty when third of 6 at Taunton (19f, good) last week. Should go well again. Won 18-runner Chepstow handicap this month but is too inconsistent to rely upon heavily. |
|||
(3)  (9/2 -13%)It's Easy |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) It's Easy 9/2, Fairly useful maiden chaser in France for David Cottin but just respectable efforts at best for Clive Boultbee-Brooks. Down in the weights as a result and sound start for this yard when second at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) last month. Can build on that here. Yet to win in Britain but ran well on stable debut and today's longer trip ought to suit. |
|||
(10)  (6/1 +33%)Elusiveness |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Elusiveness 6/1, Flat-bred mare who took a step forward when runner-up on her handicap debut at Exeter on final start of last season. Looked rusty returning from 6 months off back there recently but worth another chance with that under her belt. Cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie. Battled on in first two handicaps; may travel more sweetly in first-time cheekpieces here. |
|||
(12)  (13/2 +19%)Triple Nickle |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Triple Nickle 13/2, Just one win (back in 2021) from 17 starts over hurdles but she was runner-up on her last couple of outings in the spring. In mostly good form on the level over the summer (won at this track in August) so she merits consideration back in this sphere. 1 lb out of the weights. In good form over hurdles and on the Flat since the spring; attempts a new trip today. |
|||
(1)  (7/1 +13%)Cast's Tasha |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cast's Tasha 7/1, Began last campaign in fine form over hurdles and value for extra when landing cramped odds on chase debut here in February. Never threatened on both subsequent starts (latest back hurdling) but worth a second look on return for a yard who have hit the target twice this month. Not seen since underwhelming run in April and current mark demands a career-best effort. |
|||
(9)  (8/1 +50%)Sanda Rena |
8/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sanda Rena 8/1, £150,000 purchase after winning an Irish point and finished third on Rules debut in a Southwell bumper in 2023. Some promise in novice hurdles (left Ben Pauling after second one) but shaped as if amiss on handicap debut at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft) last month. Tongue tie applied. Still unexposed over hurdles but finished well down the field on handicap debut. |
|||
(4)  (12/1 -9%)Sweet Magic |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sweet Magic 12/1, Would have gone close but for departing at Warwick (19f, heavy) when last seen 12 months ago, upsides when approaching last. A shade disconcerting that she's not been seen since but worth monitoring in the betting (returns 2 lb lower). Held every chance before last-flight fall a year ago but not seen again since. |
|||
(8)  (22/1 -10%)Miss Hunky Dory |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Miss Hunky Dory 22/1, Third in a bumper at Exeter on New Year's Day and gave reason for encouragement when a staying-on second in a Wincanton novice (15.2f) in March. Failed to repeat that at Chepstow next time and ran no sort of race on handicap debut when last seen in April. Bit to prove on return (had wind op). Struggled on handicap debut in April; had wind op during seven-month break. |
|||
(5)  (28/1 -56%)Walkinthecotswolds |
28/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Walkinthecotswolds 28/1, Made the frame all 4 starts after the turn of the year, finishing second on handicap debut in a 4-runner affair at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) in March. Not so good back down to 2m at Uttoxeter a month later and a first-time hood goes on for her reappearance. Below form on latest start in April but was consistent in early part of year; e-w claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not beaten far when looking to land the double here over 2m4f in April, WONDERWEASLE kept on well towards the end of that contest, giving the impression that she would appreciate going up in trip. As long as she handles the quicker ground, the six-year-old may have too much for Stratford runner-up It's Easy, and Hedera Park, who was a comfortable winner at Chepstow on her penultimate outing. Triple Nickle cannot be ruled out either.
A host in with chances and it could pay to side with GATA BAN, who took a step back in the right direction at Chepstow a fortnight ago and shaped as though she'll come on again for the outing. Dropped a further 3 lb, she can get the better of Triple Nickle, who has been in good form on the level this summer (won at this course) and was twice runner-up over hurdles in May. It's Easy and Hedera Park are another couple that should go well, too.
It's worth chancing GATA BAN, who shaped well at Chepstow recently and may now be at concert pitch for this third run after a layoff.

(8)  (13/8 +41%)The Long Walk |
13/8(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Long Walk 13/8, Made plenty of appeal on paper and shaped encouragingly when third of 7 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good) on debut last month, outpaced before staying on final 1f. Can build on that effort to open his account. Quite promising debut when third at Southwell last month; likely contender. |
|||
(1)  (2/1 +64%)Collanisi |
2/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Collanisi 2/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. Dam (c125/h125) 2m-2½m hurdle/chase winner, also 1¼m-2m winner on Flat. One to note on debut for yard who does well in this sphere. Out of a useful hurdle winner; stable has good strike-rate in bumpers; a possible. |
|||
(5)  (11/2 -57%)Swindon Village |
11/2(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Swindon Village 11/2, €36,000 3-y-o, £130,000 4-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Meep Meep Mag. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3m) Ponmeoath. Runner-up in Irish point in February. One to consider. Bought for £130,000 after promising Irish point debut in February; interesting recruit. |
|||
(9)  (13/2 +19%)Hard Dealt |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hard Dealt 13/2, €24,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fair 21f hurdle winner/3¾m chase winner Track And Trace and fair hurdler/chaser Barden Bella. Won sole outing in Irish points in May. Respected. Stoutly bred filly; bought for £50,000 after winning Irish point in May. |
|||
(2)  (11/1 +45%)Monticello |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Monticello 11/1, Karaktar gelding. Dam, lightly raced over hurdles in France, half-sister to fairly useful 2¼m hurdle winner Vintage. Watch for market clues. 85,000euros 2yo; out of a close relative of two smart French jumpers; could have a say. |
|||
(7)  (33/1 -106%)Tech That |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tech That 33/1, £30,000 5-y-o, Milan gelding. Closely related to bumper winner Katie Connell. Dam French 2¼m hurdle winner. Runner-up on only start in Irish points in May. Bought for £30,000 after close second in four-runner Irish point in May; rules debut today. |
|||
(3)  (80/1 +47%)Sea Victory |
80/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sea Victory 80/1, After 10 months off (had a breathing operation), fared no better than on debut when last of 10 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good) 48 days ago. Looks to be up against it. A tailed-off outsider on his first two appearances; cannot be recommended. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
An encouraging third on debut at Southwell last month when outpaced before staying on to good effect at the finish, THE LONG WALK is likely to improve plenty for that experience and he can get off the mark on this occasion. Mustang Betty didn't do herself any favours when slowly into stride at Warwick first time out, but she did well to keep on for third and is a key player, along with Rules newcomer Swindon Village.
THE LONG WALK made a promising start when third in a Southwell bumper last month, form which has been boosted by the runner-up winning next time, so he is taken to get off the mark with that experience behind him. Mustang Betty also shaped well on her debut and is feared most, with Collanisi the pick of the debutants for his in-form yard.
Southwell third THE LONG WALK sets a fair standard of rules form and might be the answer.

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.
