---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (2/5 +71%) Lump Sum |
2/5(+71%) | (5) Lump Sum 2/5, Made the ideal start when landing a bumper at Bangor over a year ago and backed it up with an encouraging third (still green) at Hereford 7 months ago. Makes plenty of appeal on hurdling bow. 1-2 in bumpers; respected on hurdles debut, especially if market positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/2 -67%) Onewaywest |
5/2(-67%) | (6) Onewaywest 5/2, Inexperience proved his undoing when chasing home one from the Nicky Henderson yard on debut in a Worcester bumper in May and made a solid start to hurdling when second in a novice at Huntingdon 23 days ago. Should go well again. Runner-up in a Worcester bumper and Huntingdon hurdle; likely to do better in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 -167%) Chauffeur Driven |
12/1(-167%) | (3) Chauffeur Driven 12/1, Won his only start in points and, while he didn't come up to expectations in a bumper at Ascot, he should strip fitter for it and he's likely to take to hurdling. Irish point winner but well held on stable/bumper debut at Ascot; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (80/1 -220%) Another Lord |
80/1(-220%) | (1) Another Lord 80/1, Placed in bumpers at Chepstow and at Market Rasen during spring 2022. Bred to make a jumper but needed the run in a course novice 10 days ago. Looks more of a handicap type. Beaten a very long way on hurdles debut here recently; needs to leave that well behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (18/1 -125%) Duc Du Rene |
18/1(-125%) | (4) Duc Du Rene 18/1, Half-brother to 4 winners and looked sure to be placed had he not stumbled at Chepstow on bumper debut. Failed to build on that next time but could get back on track switched to hurdling after 7 months off (also tongue tied). Ability in first of two bumpers; half-brother to hurdle/chase winners; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (200/1 -33%) Catch The Crumpet |
200/1(-33%) | (2) Catch The Crumpet 200/1, Lucarno gelding who went with no encouragement on either start in bumpers and makes no appeal on hurdling/seasonal debut. Completely tailed off in both bumper starts in the spring; impossible to recommend. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LUMP SUM won a Bangor bumper before finishing a promising third at Hereford in April, form which has been boosted by the second scoring since and the winner going close in a good contest at Ludlow recently. The Sam Thomas-trained gelding is fancied to make a successful start to his jumping career, although Onewaywest has match-fitness on his side after a decent second over further on his hurdles debut and is expected to build on that effort. Chauffeur Driven cost 65,000 pounds following a point-to-point victory and is better than he showed in a competitive Ascot bumper.
LUMP SUM looked well above average in bumpers and returns with his stable in good order, so he takes marginal preference over Onewaywest, who has the benefit of hurdling experience. Chauffeur Driven is also worthy of consideration.
This can go to ONEWAYWEST who appears to set the standard having finished runner-up in a bumper and on hurdles debut.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (9/4 -50%) Percy Veering |
9/4(-50%) | (5) Percy Veering 9/4, Made it third time lucky over fences on the back of a wind op at Warwick (25.4f, heavy) recently, responding well after the eventual runner-up eyeballed him at the second-last. 7 lb rise looks fair given that the first 2 pulled clear of the rest and he's the one to beat. Beat a big field on his Warwick reappearance; 7lb higher but strong claims for a follow-up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (8/1 +68%) Invictus Allen |
8/1(+68%) | (6) Invictus Allen 8/1, Comfortably held all 3 starts over hurdles and didn't fare any better switched to fences on return at Wincanton. Now tried in cheekpieces. Yard also saddles Bob Bank. Well beaten in three hurdles and pulled up on chase debut; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 +50%) Concrete King |
9/2(+50%) | (4) Concrete King 9/2, Four-time winner between the flags but he's 0-13 under Rules and is opposable on the back of a poor reappearance display at Wincanton, 0-13 under rules and well beaten on Wincanton reappearance last month; stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/2 -75%) Frankie Faulkner |
7/2(-75%) | (1) Frankie Faulkner 7/2, Dual winner in points who got off the mark over hurdles in maiden at Newton Abbot in July. Some improvement switched to fences/handicaps since (placed all 4 starts in this sphere) and live contender with conditions no problem. Looked unlucky on heavy ground on penultimate start; ground probably too quick last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (22/1 -120%) Hey Bud |
22/1(-120%) | (3) Hey Bud 22/1, Good second over C&D off this mark last November but no impact in 3 subsequent starts and record stands at 0-10 in this sphere. Nothing in three starts since finishing runner-up over C&D a year ago; needs a turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 -125%) Champagne Rhythm |
18/1(-125%) | (2) Champagne Rhythm 18/1, Chepstow maiden hurdle winner in February 2021 but hasn't troubled the judge since, including in 3 starts in this sphere (pulled up on 2 occasions), and recent reappearance effort (over hurdles) wasn't inspiring. Frankie Faulkner appears to be the stable No 1. Would have needed recent return, but showed nothing in three previous starts over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (6/1 +76%) Bob Bank |
6/1(+76%) | (8) Bob Bank 6/1, Well beaten in bumpers/hurdles and similar story switched to fences the last twice, latterly tailed off in Percy Veering's race at Warwick. Fourth over hurdles and fences this year, but tailed off behind Percy Veering last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (8/1 +20%) Patient Owner |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Patient Owner 8/1, Found just one too good on chase debut at Uttoxeter last December but seemingly gone the wrong way since and was pulled up on return in the Warwick handicap won by Percy Veering. Placed in his first two outings over fences, but nothing in three outings since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
On his first start since a second wind operation, PERCY VEERING relished the return to chasing when scoring over the extended 3m1f at Warwick earlier in the month and he remains unexposed over fences. A 7lb rise may not be enough to prevent him following up for his in-form yard, although Frankie Faulkner has been threatening to score in recent months and should give another good account of himself. Concrete King is tumbling down the weights and could be feasibly treated again soon.
This looks between FRANKIE FAULKNER and Percy Veering, with preference for the former who was unlucky not to prevail on heavy ground at Newton Abbot in September and conditions were probably too lively for him next time. Percy Veering displayed a good attitude when opening his chase account at Warwick and won't go down without a fight. Concrete King is on a good mark based on bits and pieces of form but he has a bit to prove at present.
Preference is for PERCY VEERING who appeared to benefit from a second wind operation when beating a big field at Warwick this month.

1st (5) (9/2 -35%) Itseemslikeit |
9/2(-35%) | (5) Itseemslikeit 9/2, Placed in a point and duly shaped like a stayer when fourth of 16 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. May do better making hurdles debut over longer trip. Fourth in a Chepstow bumper last month; should appreciate this stiffer test over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/11 +39%) Minella Blueway |
10/11(+39%) | (3) Minella Blueway 10/11, Decisive winner of the first of his 2 starts in points and pulled clear of the remainder when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Likely to improve. Irish point winner who ran well to finish third on hurdles debut at Chepstow; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/4 -13%) Oak Creek |
9/4(-13%) | (4) Oak Creek 9/4, Placed both completed starts in Irish points and took a step forward from his hurdling debut when second of 5 in novice at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft). Player after 9 months off. Showed ability in both starts over hurdles; respected if ready to go after nine months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (40/1 -21%) Illogical Logic |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Illogical Logic 40/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points but has finished down the field on both starts in novice hurdles. Will be better off handicapping. Well beaten in both starts over hurdles for this yard since returning last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (10/1 -82%) Bridget Mary |
10/1(-82%) | (6) Bridget Mary 10/1, £75,000 5-y-o, Sholokhov mare. Half-sister to fair 2½m chase winner Bak Rocky. Dam (c139/h110) 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner. Irish point winner merits respect on Rules debut. Narrowly won her only start in an Irish point in January; watch market on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (300/1 -50%) Johnthepostman |
300/1(-50%) | (2) Johnthepostman 300/1, Beat only 1 rival in 3 bumper starts and could barely have showed any less when thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Showed nothing in three bumpers and tailed off on hurdles debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Oak Creek has sound form claims on his second in a 3m contest at Ludlow in February but he is returning from a layoff and may have to play a supporting role again, this time to MINELLA BLUEWAY. A point-to-point winner who was bought into the Evan Williams stable for 37,000 pounds, there was a lot to like about his hurdling debut third over a similar trip at Chepstow a fortnight ago and he can show the benefit of that outing. Bridget Mary is very interesting on her NH bow for Rebecca Curtis having changed hands for 75,000 pounds after scoring between the flags.
MINELLA BLUEWAY showed plenty to be positive about when placed on Rules debut at Chepstow earlier in the month and gets the nod over Oak Creek, who made the frame in a pair of maidens earlier in the year. Irish point winner Bridget Mary is an interesting newcomer.
The vote goes to MINELLA BLUEWAY who showed more than enough when third on his first start over hurdles at Chepstow a fortnight ago.

1st (7) (15/8 +16%) Georges Saint |
15/8(+16%) | (7) Georges Saint 15/8, Drew a blank over hurdles for current connections but had been a winning chaser in France. Offered something to work on reverted to this sphere at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Yard couldn't be in better order and potentially very well handicapped on pick of French form. 2-4 over fences in France; creditable effort at Chepstow last time; may come on for it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/4 +66%) Walkinthewoods |
11/4(+66%) | (8) Walkinthewoods 11/4, Off the mark at Chepstow (2m) last October and doubled his tally at this track in May. Picked up where he'd left off in the spring when runner-up at Worcester (16f, soft) a couple of months ago so worth a second look in the betting now sent over the larger obstacles. Consistent over hurdles and has claims if he can transfer his ability over to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (9/2 -29%) Kepagge |
9/2(-29%) | (4) Kepagge 9/2, Notched a third win over hurdles in a change of headgear (visored) at this track in March and having finished runner-up from 5 lb higher at Exeter a fortnight later, resumed winning ways here (20f, soft) when last seen 7 months ago. One to keep a close eye on now chasing (had another wind op). Four wins over hurdles and is a half-brother to three winners over fences; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/1 -56%) Felicie Du Maquis |
7/1(-56%) | (5) Felicie Du Maquis 7/1, Dual winning pointer who made a winning hurdles debut at Lingfield (19.5f) last November before following up under a penalty at Warwick (21f) the following month. Ran her first disappointing race at Auteuil (19.4f, soft) when last seen in April but plenty to like sent chasing. Dual winning pointer and good form over hurdles last season; respected on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/2 +0%) Kings Keeper |
11/2(+0%) | (3) Kings Keeper 11/2, Irish import who made a good start for this yard last winter, placing twice prior to scoring in decisive fashion here in January. Respectable fifth at Bangor on final start in March. Well held in sole chase start in Ireland but way too early to suggest he won't make it as a chaser. Off eight months and didn't look a natural in one start over fences in Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (20/1 -11%) Del La Mar Rocket |
20/1(-11%) | (6) Del La Mar Rocket 20/1, Landed a course maiden hurdle in February 2022 but has been held back by his jumping since, including on chasing debut on return at Lingfield (20f, good to soft) last week. First-time headgear will need to spark him back to life. Regressed since winning over hurdles here last year; pulled up on chase debut; blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (33/1 -175%) Timeforatune |
33/1(-175%) | (2) Timeforatune 33/1, Smart bumper performer, and fairly useful hurdles winner at up to 19f last term. Looked rusty sent chasing by new connections after 9 months off (sold from Paul Nicholls £12,000 in interim) at Newton Abbot in October and fared no better at Ascot (18.8f, good to soft) 4 weeks later. 3-4 in bumpers and 2-5 over hurdles, but little in both starts over fences for this yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FELICIE DU MAQUIS proved to be fairly useful over hurdles, with victories at Lingfield and under a penalty at Warwick on New Year's Eve. She placed in handicap company at Chepstow and appeals as the type who could do better over the larger obstacles. Walkinthewoods has to be of interest on his chasing debut having won here on his penultimate start. Kepagge and Kings Keeper are others for the shortlist.
Venetia Williams is enjoying an outstanding November even by her high standards and GEORGES SAINT can add to her tally having offered plenty to work on reverted to this sphere when fourth at Chepstow just over 3 weeks ago. Duc de Beauchene was never involved under a patient ride on return but he may well emerge as the main threat back in calmer waters, with chasing debutant Walkinthewoods and dual course winner Kepagge taken to fight out third.
The selection is chasing debutant KEPAGGE, who is a half-brother to three winning chasers.

Mario De Pail |
(1) (11/4 +50%)11/4(+50%) | (1) Mario De Pail 11/4, Fairly useful but error-prone maiden handicap chaser who has made the frame both starts this season. On a favourable mark returning to hurdling and has to be of interest. Hasn't looked a natural over fences and now 6lb lower than when last winning over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (7) (4/1 +20%) Classic Concorde |
4/1(+20%) | (7) Classic Concorde 4/1, Proved as good as ever as he completed a hat-trick in game style at Bangor (23f) in October. Had his winning run ended at Hereford subsequently but wasn't disgraced. Completed a hat-trick before held on quick ground at Hereford; still more needed, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (9/4 +25%) Balkardy |
9/4(+25%) | (6) Balkardy 9/4, In excellent form over fences in summer 2022 and has found only one too good both starts back over hurdles this season, including over C&D latest. Likely to give another good account. Runner-up in both starts since returning last month, the latest over C&D; solid claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/1 -155%) Grove Road |
7/1(-155%) | (2) Grove Road 7/1, Sedgefield bumper winner who looked a promising stayer in the making when winning a brace of novice hurdles in late 2022. However, was turned over in a match at Hexham and disappointed on his Perth handicap debut on final outing. Bit to prove back from 6 months off. Off seven months since well held on handicap debut at Perth; needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 +20%) Ballymagroarty Boy |
4/1(+20%) | (3) Ballymagroarty Boy 4/1, Sole win came in 2018 but he ran several good races in defeat last season and wasn't beaten far over C&D on his reappearance 10 days ago. Sure to be thereabouts once more. Often placed as when third over C&D ten days ago, but record of 1-30 does raise concerns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (22/1 -120%) Emmpressive Lady |
22/1(-120%) | (4) Emmpressive Lady 22/1, 4-time hurdle winner who left previous chase exploits behind when landing 3m Bangor handicap in March. Took little interest at Wincanton and Cheltenham since however, so has enough to prove on this return to hurdling. 4lb lower than when last winning over hurdles; won't have a problem with the trip/ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (25/1 -79%) Ballinsker |
25/1(-79%) | (5) Ballinsker 25/1, Record a third win over fences at Chepstow in April and is entitled to be sharper for his recent reappearance at Plumpton. First hurdle start since June 2021. Back over hurdles for the first time since June 2021; soft/heavy ground a question. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GROVE ROAD clearly wasn't at his best when struggling to land a blow on his handicap debut at Perth in the spring and it would be no surprise to see the seven-year-old bounce back to form, especially with testing conditions underfoot. Balkardy (second) finished almost three lengths ahead of Ballymagroarty Boy (third) when the pair met over C&D earlier in the month and both have to enter calculations here.
MARIO DE PAIL reverts to hurdling on a favourable mark on the pick of his form, so he receives the vote. Ballymagroarty Boy and Balkardy are closely matched on their recent C&D form and they head the opposition.
The choice is BALKARDY (nap) who has finished runner-up in both starts since returning over hurdles last month, the latest over C&D.

1st (4) (11/4 +66%) Royal Mer |
11/4(+66%) | (4) Royal Mer 11/4, Potentially well treated on French form but just the one decent effort since joining this yard. Back over fences after a break. 11-race maiden who could only manage a midfield finish in one go over fences in France. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (3/1 -100%) Boston Joe |
3/1(-100%) | (2) Boston Joe 3/1, Better than ever after 14 months off when easily winning at Wincanton despite a typically erratic round of jumping. Needs considering up 8 lb. 8lb higher than for his easy win at Wincanton, but stamina for this far still unproven. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 -27%) Lincoln Lyn |
7/2(-27%) | (3) Lincoln Lyn 7/2, Did well over fences last season and starts the new campaign only 1 lb higher than for her win at Fakenham in January. Player back down in class. Off nine months, but has run well fresh before and holds each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 +0%) Boys Of Wexford |
8/1(+0%) | (6) Boys Of Wexford 8/1, Upped his game switched to fences last season, scoring at Uttoxeter before a string of decent efforts in defeat. No worthwhile form over hurdles, including on return, but better expected back in this sphere. Showed ability in four starts over fences last season; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (9/1 +36%) Blazing Hartingo |
9/1(+36%) | (8) Blazing Hartingo 9/1, Looked a bit temperamental over hurdles but has a pointing background so not a forlorn hope going chasing off a lowly mark. Some ability over hurdles and runner-up in a point, but limited appeal; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (9/2 +36%) Pageant Material |
9/2(+36%) | (5) Pageant Material 9/2, C&D winner last season off 1 lb higher last season and creditable third in a handicap chase on her reappearance here (21.5f, good to soft). Ran poorly back over hurdles 2 weeks ago, however. 1lb lower than when gaining her third course success over C&D in March; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (33/1 -32%) Royal Act |
33/1(-32%) | (7) Royal Act 33/1, Poor nowadays and easy to oppose after 10 months off. 6lb below his last winning mark, but has been off 310 days; record suggests he may need it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BOSTON JOE recorded a bloodless success over an extended 1m7f at Wincanton last month and Rebecca Curtis' gelding is fancied to defy a subsequent 8lb rise now returned to further. Pageant Material failed to make an impact over hurdles at Chepstow a fortnight ago but the multiple course winner ought fare better back over the larger obstacles. Lincoln Lyn, who was running well when last seen, is also noted.
LINCOLN LYN held her form well over fences last season and can make a winning return back down in class. Boston Joe is the obvious threat after his easy comeback victory at Wincanton, while Royal Mer is no forlorn hope back over fences off a tempting mark.
This can go to PAGEANT MATERIAL who has less to prove that many, having dropped 1lb lower than when winning over C&D in March.

1st (1) (10/1 +9%) Juby Ball |
10/1(+9%) | (1) Juby Ball 10/1, €38,000 Nom De D'la gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Fifty Ball, stays 3¼m. Dam maiden over hurdles/fences in France. One of 2 runners from a stable which had a bumper winner here recently. Betting should guide. Nice pedigree and stable had the bumper winner at the last meeting here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (11/10 +0%) Phantomofthepoints |
11/10(+0%) | (5) Phantomofthepoints 11/10, Failed to complete in 2 points but showed plenty of promise when third of 15 in a Ballinrobe bumper back in May. Switched to David Pipe since and a bold show looks assured if showing up in similar form. Ballinrobe third in May has worked out well; off six months but respected on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 +0%) Mount Washington |
12/1(+0%) | (3) Mount Washington 12/1, £30,000 Shirocco gelding. Dam (h104), bumper winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2¾m) Optimus Prime. Newcomer to note in the market. Bred to win races and worth a market check, especially in relation to stablemate Juby Ball. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (5/4 +0%) Largy Poet |
5/4(+0%) | (2) Largy Poet 5/4, Cost £85,000 after finishing runner-up in his sole Irish point in April. Joined Paul Nicholls since and gets the nod to make a winning start under Rules, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Runner-up in an Irish point and has joined a top yard for bumper debut; much respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (25/1 -25%) Sirekoff |
25/1(-25%) | (6) Sirekoff 25/1, Big prices and well held in bumpers at Punchestown and Fairyhouse over 5 months apart. Well beaten in bumpers at Punchestown and Fairyhouse; probably needs to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (150/1 -275%) Palawan Du Mazet |
150/1(-275%) | (4) Palawan Du Mazet 150/1, Blinkered when 40 lengths last of 3 on his Newton Abbot debut in June. Cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. Can only watch. Tailed-off last of three on his Newton Abbot debut in June; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The vote goes to PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS, whose Ballinrobe third sets the standard and looks a strong piece of form. Now in the care of David Pipe, the five-year-old can take a step forward and strike at the second time of asking under Rules. Largy Poet struck the woodwork in a point-to-point back in the spring and must be respected for his leading trainer. Evan Williams saddles two in Mount Washington and Juby Ball, of which the former is marginally preferred.
A good chance this will develop into a match between Irish point recruit LARGY POET and Ballinrobe bumper third Phantomofthepoints. The former has joined the top yard in Britain ahead of his Rules debut so he's preferred, although the betting will provide more clues.
It may be worth siding with PHANTOMOFTHEPOINTS whose third at Ballinrobe in May has since been boosted by the second, fourth and sixth.
