(4)  (11/8 0%)Jasmine D'airy |
11/8(0%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jasmine D'airy 11/8, Runner-up both starts in points prior to readily landing a Tipperary bumper for Sam Curling 6 months ago. Has joined up-and-coming new yard (for £120,000) and she's a fascinating contender. Changed hands for £120,000 after 6l win in Tipperary bumper; brings lots of potential. |
|||
(1)  (13/8 -79%)Hollygrove Cha Cha |
13/8(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hollygrove Cha Cha 13/8, Won both starts in bumpers in the spring and overcame a few mistakes to remain unbeaten switched to hurdling at Ludlow 3 weeks ago (21.3f). Drop in trip not sure to suit but she's open to plenty of improvement. Made it 3-3 when winning on hurdle debut; could have plenty more left in the tank. |
|||
(2)  (6/1 +40%)Followango |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Followango 6/1, 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) in April. Failed to complete sent chasing in October and quickly back over timber. Consistent in defeat last term; can give a good account but others may have more potential. |
|||
(3)  (10/1 +75%)Goddess Afrana |
10/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Goddess Afrana 10/1, Fracas filly who ran to only a modest level in pair of bumpers at Newbury/Uttoxeter during the spring and well held sent hurdling at Chepstow last month. Fair efforts in her two bumpers in the spring but tailed off at 80-1 on hurdle debut. |
|||
(8)  (12/1 +0%)Stylia |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Stylia 12/1, £30,000 buy after finishing runner-up on her completed start in Irish points in May 2024. Modest form when eighth of 12 in her bumper 3 weeks ago. Point runner-up; retains potential but she was well beaten on last month's bumper debut. |
|||
(7)  (50/1 +67%)Polly Pi |
50/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Polly Pi 50/1, Shaped with promise in both bumper starts but looks a longer-term project over hurdles. Not devoid of ability in bumpers but tailed off at big odds on both hurdle starts. |
|||
(5)  (66/1 +56%)Kiss Me Moon |
66/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kiss Me Moon 66/1, Ran to only a poor level in bumpers at Newbury/Stratford during the spring and always behind both hurdles outings. Tailed off at triple-figure odds on her two hurdle starts, both over C&D. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A winner of both starts in bumpers earlier this year, HOLLYGROVE CHA CHA was able to maintain her unbeaten record when sent over hurdles for the first time at Ludlow last month. Jamie Snowden's filly wasn't always foot perfect there but she asserted readily at the business end and natural progress can see her defy the penalty. Jasmine D'airy impressed when winning a Tipperary bumper in May and she's an interesting prospect now in the care of Harry Derham. Followango heads the remainder.
Having landed strong support in an Irish bumper in May, JASMINE D'AIRY changed hands for £120,000 and having transferred to a yard on the up, she rates a very interesting hurdles debutante. Hollygrove Cha Cha has already recorded a facile win over obstacles and is the obvious danger under a penalty.
Preference is for JASMINE D'AIRY who impressed in a bumper at Tipperary in May and now starts out for rising star Harry Derham.

(1)  (5/4 -37%)Jurancon |
5/4(-37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jurancon 5/4, Successful in Irish points and looked a good prospect when going 2-3 in bumpers at Hereford in March. Confirmed the promise of his opening second over hurdles when driven out to score at Chepstow 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, this trip should suit. Strong form on his two hurdle starts and he holds leading claims under a 6lb penalty. |
|||
(2)  (9/4 +25%)Rosscahill |
9/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rosscahill 9/4, Bought for £70,000 after easily winning an Irish point in December. Landed the odds without impressing visually on debut over 21.9f here in October. Can progress given soft underfoot conditions. 2-2 (point/maiden hurdle); tougher opposition today but he's been impressive; respected. |
|||
(4)  (3/1 +14%)King Of Thieves |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Of Thieves 3/1, £30,000 4-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2½m) Whoshotthesheriff. Runner-up sole outing in Irish points and shaped with promise when occupying same spot in a course bumper in March. Point/bumper runner-up; the step up in trip may suit; others have more substance to form. |
|||
(3)  (10/1 -11%)Alan De Banks |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Alan De Banks 10/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding who made a winning bumper debut at Newton Abbot and was also first past the post there in September (disqualified as ridden by banned jockey). Sound start over hurdles when fourth in a pretty deep C&D novice 3 weeks ago. First past the post in two bumpers and open to improvement on second hurdle start. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
JURANCON bumped into a useful sort when filling the runner-up spot at Worcester in October, before defeating a subsequent winner at Chepstow last month. David Pipe's gelding sets the standard with an official rating of 127 and will be hard to beat. Point winner Rosscahill made the perfect start to his career under Rules when on target over 2m6f here in October. Although he appears to be the main threat, hurdling debutant King Of Thieves should not be underestimated.
A quartet to view positively but the vote goes to JURANCON, who recorded win number 4 of his career at Chepstow a month ago and this sort of trip may unlock even more. Rosscahill probably needs soft ground given his action but he'll get that here and is feared most.
Two-time bumper winner JURANCON has made a very good start to his hurdling career and earns the vote ahead of Rosscahill.

(4)  (5/6 -15%)Grove Road |
5/6(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Grove Road 5/6, Ended a losing run in a change of headgear in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot in July. Followed from a 4 lb higher mark back from a break at Huntingdon (25f, soft) recently and while another 7 lb rise will ask a question of this 8-y-o, he's the one to beat all the same. 2-2 in this visor; remains well treated on his old form and holds leading claims. |
|||
(3)  (11/4 -10%)Neo King |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Neo King 11/4, Multiple point winner and second in a hunter chase at Down Royal (19.5f) in March. Changed hands for £20,000 and has since posted encouraging efforts in maiden hurdles over 2¾m/2½m at this course, leaving the impression that he'll be suited by this stiffer test. Three-time point winner who makes handicap debut and is open to improvement; not ruled out. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 +0%)Clondaw Royale |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Clondaw Royale 10/1, Winner of a Bangor maiden hurdle last December but it's been a struggle since (over fences on his last 3 starts) and needs to bounce back returned to this sphere. Pulled up over fences the last twice but not written off now back over hurdles. |
|||
(6)  (10/1 +70%)Siberian Star |
10/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Siberian Star 10/1, Point winner in May but well held both subsequent starts between the flags and last win under Rules was gained back in December 2021. Won a point-to-point in May but has a modest strike-rate under rules; stable debut. |
|||
(5)  (10/1 -25%)Lucky So And So |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lucky So And So 10/1, Just one creditable performance last season and finished down the field on his reappearance at Lingfield last month. Struggled in the main last season but was second in March; could build upon recent effort. |
|||
(1)  (20/1 +20%)Imperial Storm |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Imperial Storm 20/1, Bumper/ hurdle winner for Fergal O'Brien but off for 500 days prior to pulling up in a point in May and then ran poorly back under Rules recently in a Chepstow handicap hurdle. Well handicapped on winter 2022-23 form but just two starts since and he's struggled. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A few of these arrive with something to prove, but that can't be said for Grove Road, who won at Newton Abbot in July before following up on his return at Huntingdon recently. James Owen could hardly be in better form so he merits respect, but the vote goes to NEO KING. A multiple winner in the pointing scene on testing ground, he has shown signs of ability on both of his hurdle starts under Rules. Pitched into handicaps for the first time and stepped up to 3m, he can find the necessary improvement. Lucky So And So is also noted.
There could be better to come from NEO KING now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut and he is an appealing alternative to the hat-trick seeking Grove Road. By process of elimination rather than a vote of confidence, Clondaw Royale is taken to claim minor place money.
It is hard to look away from GROVE ROAD, who is 2-2 in the visor and remains well handicapped on his old form.

(7)  (9/4 +0%)Our Dylan |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Our Dylan 9/4, In good form during the spring, bagging handicaps at Hereford and Stratford. Has remained in good heart since, finding just one too good back from a break returned to Hereford (16.2f, good) last month, and he has to enter calculations. Won two in a row in the spring and has continued in good form since; strong claims. |
|||
(1)  (9/2 -13%)Holeshot |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Holeshot 9/2, Winless following 5 runs between the flags but has shown a good level of ability in both runs under Rules, latter finishing second in a 15.2f Wincanton novice. Very much of interest now pitched into a handicap off a fair-looking mark. Has made the frame on both hurdle runs; makes handicap debut and could have more to offer. |
|||
(5)  (7/1 +42%)Sabbathical |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sabbathical 7/1, Scored over fences at Leicester last February and added another chase success to his CV at Bangor (17.4f, good) 2 months later. Absent since, though, and he's entitled to come on for the run. On a handy mark and he's one to watch in the betting, but has a hefty absence to defy. |
|||
(4)  (7/1 +0%)Opera King |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Opera King 7/1, Posted best effort in this sphere when creditable second of 9 at Market Rasen (18.5f, good to firm) in September. Has followed that with a couple of low-key efforts over 3m/21.7f but perhaps this drop back in trip will help him get back on track. Soundly beaten the last twice but this 4yo could be a contender now back down in trip. |
|||
(2)  (15/2 -7%)Port Or Starboard |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Port Or Starboard 15/2, Fair maiden on Flat who showed a good attitude to get off the mark in this sphere at Exeter last March. Placed all 6 subsequent starts and should be in the mix, provided he's ready to roll following 11 months off. Effective here and is on a handy mark, but returns from absence and has poor strike-rate. |
|||
(9)  (10/1 -25%)Good Impression |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Good Impression 10/1, Latest success was gained off 3 lb higher mark at Newton Abbot last September and shaped as though his turn may again be near when placed twice in July. Lesser efforts the last twice but each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward. Six-time hurdle winner who has run some fair races in defeat this season; each-way claims. |
|||
(6)  (12/1 +14%)Star Turn |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Star Turn 12/1, Looked limited on the Flat and while he shaped well on the first of his 3 hurdles start for Alan King, he was safely held on handicap debut in this sphere at Doncaster when last seen in January. Tongue strap added for this stable debut. Displayed ability in juvenile hurdles last November but well beaten on h'cap debut in Jan. |
|||
(3)  (12/1 -71%)John Betjeman |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) John Betjeman 12/1, Hasn't tasted success since gaining the latest of his 3 C&D wins last March but he's proved fairly consistent since and has edged down to a handy mark (now 11 lb lower than for his last win). Likely to be in the thick of things. Below par this autumn but this three wins have all come over today's C&D; interesting. |
|||
(8)  (16/1 +0%)Mount Washington |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mount Washington 16/1, Showed a fair level of ability on bumper debut here last November but yet to make an impact following 5 runs in this sphere. Remains lightly raced but he needs to produce more than he's managed in his two handicaps. |
|||
(10)  (20/1 +39%)Mini Yeats |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mini Yeats 20/1, Remains winless and didn't show much starting out for this yard at Uttoxeter in October. Holeshot is clearly the stable first-string. 0-14 and no return to form on stable/seasonal debut, but on handy mark and not written off. |
|||
(11)  (33/1 +34%)Mind Hunter |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Mind Hunter 33/1, Missed whole of last season and beaten a long way back from a lengthy absence on the Flat in October. Tailed off on the Flat in October when back from long absence; probably best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
From a competitive rating, OPERA KING could get off the mark on just his fourth run in handicap company. Having failed to fire with a visor added in a deeper race last time out, swapping to cheekpieces may be a source of improvement for the son of Australia, who might represent some value in a wide-open contest. Our Dylan is feared most off 2lb higher than last month's narrow defeat at Hereford. John Betjeman has course experience and is also weighted to go well.
The unexposed HOLESHOT is taken to make a winning handicap debut following encouraging efforts at Uttoxeter and Wincanton. Our Dylan is proving consistent and is likely to give another good account, while John Betjeman and Port Or Starboard also enter calculations. Also worthy of consideration is Opera King, who could get back on track now dropping back in trip.
This looks an excellent opportunity for OUR DYLAN (nap). He has continued in good form since winning two in a row in the spring.

(9)  (7/2 +22%)Mumbles |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mumbles 7/2, Went the right way over hurdles last term, gaining a second victory at Fontwell (19.2f) in March. Started off well in this sphere when second of 9 in handicap chase here (16f) 22 days ago. LIkely player now back up in trip. Fair second over 2m here on his chase debut and could build on that now back up in trip. |
|||
(1)  (4/1 +0%)Brulure Noire |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brulure Noire 4/1, Course winner who signed off for last term with success in 9-runner handicap chase at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in April. Much respected on his seasonal return. Has won here on his reappearance in each of the last two seasons; firmly in calculations. |
|||
(5)  (5/1 -11%)Chosen Hero |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chosen Hero 5/1, Resumed with a good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 54 days ago. One to consider now going over fences. Reappeared with close third and this point winner is open to improvement now over fences. |
|||
(2)  (11/2 +45%)Imperial Bede |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Imperial Bede 11/2, French bumper/hurdles winner who ran out a ready winner on chase debut at Southwell (20.4f) in February. Yet to build on that, though latest third at Wetherby was at least a step back in the right direction. Possibilities. Took step back in right direction when third at Wetherby behind two progressive sorts. |
|||
(3)  (7/1 -17%)Good Friday Fairy |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Good Friday Fairy 7/1, A dual 2m4f chase winner last term but pulled up in handicap chase at Doncaster in March. Off since and handily weighted if susequent breathing surgery sparks a resurgence. Tongue strap on for 1st time too. Returns having had a wind op and stable form bodes well; on a handy mark. |
|||
(6)  (12/1 +45%)Fairlawn Flyer |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fairlawn Flyer 12/1, Scored at Cartmel and in control when pulled up approaching home straight at Fontwell (3m2f) later last autumn. Has his fitness to prove after 14 months off. Absent since September 2023 but six visits to Ffos Las have yielded four wins. |
|||
(7)  (14/1 -40%)Theyseekhimthere |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Theyseekhimthere 14/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, heavy) 8 months ago. Goes chasing after a wind op and needs to hit the ground running. Made winning comeback last term following wind op; returns having had further wind surgery. |
|||
(11)  (16/1 -14%)Lightonthewing |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lightonthewing 16/1, Resumed with success at Newton Abbot but pulled up in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 15 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Won three times in the spring but pulled up on reappearance only a fortnight ago. |
|||
(12)  (16/1 -14%)John W Creasy |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) John W Creasy 16/1, Still a maiden and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Didn't run badly at Exeter in October but pulled up at Chepstow since. |
|||
(8)  (20/1 +60%)Old Painless |
20/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Old Painless 20/1, Plumpton winner first time up over fences 2 years ago but not much impact in 4 runs for current yard, including both starts this term. Others appeal more. Well handicapped on 2022-23 season form but lightly raced since and unable to threaten. |
|||
(10)  (20/1 -150%)Pilgrims King |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pilgrims King 20/1, C&D winner. Badly hampered sixth when pulled up in handicap chase at this course (23.8f, good to soft) 22 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track. Won over C&D in April but pulled up the last twice and needs to get back on track. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 +34%)Micro Millions |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Micro Millions 33/1, £40,000 buy after winning an Irish point and made the frame 3 times over hurdles at up to 25f for Dan Skelton last term. Pulled up at Bangor though on his debut over fences for new yard last month so a bit to prove. Point winner who was placed in maiden hurdles, but was pulled up on chase/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The consistent MUMBLES was on the back of a near eight-month break when he finished second over 2m here last month and the Evan Williams-trained gelding could be a different proposition back up in trip with that run under his belt. Chasing debutant Chosen Hero boasts a similar profile and commands respect after a close third over hurdles at Sedgefield. Brulure Noire is also noteworthy under top-weight.
MUMBLES is fancied to take a sizeable step forward over fences now his stamina is drawn our more so gets the verdict in this very open handicap chase. Course-scorer Brulure Noire could emerge as the main danger on his seasonal return, with the handily-weighted duo Imperial Bede and Good Friday Fairy also well in the mix. Chasing-newcomer Chosen Hero completes the shortlist.
Ben Clarke had an excellent November with his reappearing runners and GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY can making a winning comeback.

(5)  (1/1 -37%)Mutley Crew |
1/1(-37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mutley Crew 1/1, Looked suited by the step up in trip when making a winning handicap debut at Fontwell (19f, soft) just under 6 weeks ago, asserting late on. A 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing with this slightly extra distance likely to suit even better. 28-1 win on handicap debut at Fontwell; this looks an excellent opportunity to follow up. |
|||
(1)  (10/3 +0%)Wot You Wearing |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wot You Wearing 10/3, Back-to-back winner at Chepstow last November and very encouraging start to present campaign when just touched off in a 25.5f Hereford handicap (good) in October. Not in same form on both subsequent starts though, but appeals as a likely candidate to bounce back down in grade. Below par the last twice but drops back down in grade today and may bounce back. |
|||
(3)  (13/2 +19%)The Cypriot |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Cypriot 13/2, Has shown only poor form over hurdles and dropped away before 2 out under a change of tactics over C&D (heavy) 12 days ago. Yard also saddles Walkinthewoods. Lightly raced but has struggled to get competitive in his three handicaps. |
|||
(2)  (15/2 -7%)Walkinthewoods |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Walkinthewoods 15/2, C&D winner in May 2023 but was badly out of sorts during the spring and it was a similar story following a wind op on return at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in October. On a workable mark and would be danger to all if able to bounce back. Yard also saddles The Cypriot. Well handicapped on last season's best form but he needs to turn things around. |
|||
(6)  (8/1 +43%)Nowyouvebinandunit |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nowyouvebinandunit 8/1, Placed in a C&D handicap in June 2023 but off since finishing a below-form fourth at Bangor in August of that year. A watching brief has to be the percentage call after such a long time on the sidelines. Returns from absence but on a competitive mark and not ruled out in a weak race. |

(4)  (25/1 +0%)Complete Fantasy |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Complete Fantasy 25/1, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland and hard to draw any positives from his 2 runs since switching to Chris Honour (latest after 5 months off). Headgear discarded. Runner-up in a point in April but has struggled in handicap hurdles the last twice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In a moderate event it is hard to oppose MUTLEY CREW, who took a big step forward when winning on her handicap debut over 2m3f at Fontwell last time. With the likelihood of more to come, a 6lb rise may vastly underestimate Robert Walford's mare. The rest all have questions to answer, but Wot You Wearing and The Cypriot are the pick of them.
Not a strong race by any means and WOT YOU WEARING can capitalise on the drop back in grade with a good-value 7-lb conditional on board for first time at the expense of Mutley Crew, who left previous efforts behind on handicap debut when scoring at Fontwell just under 6 weeks ago. The Evan Williams-trained pair can fight out third spot.
The lightly raced 8yo MUTLEY CREW won on her handicap debut in October and stands out in a race that may not take much winning.

(1)  (6/4 +20%)Captain Claude |
6/4(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Claude 6/4, Successful at Fontwell on first 2 starts sent chasing last season and ran well when placed next 2 outings. Shaped as if still in good form when third of 4 back at Fontwell (26f, heavy) when last seen in March, so he's a major player on return. Two wins last season and he could play a leading role on his reappearance. |
|||
(3)  (9/4 +44%)Twilight Glory |
9/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Twilight Glory 9/4, Won back-to-back handicaps at Chepstow early this year but ran poorly on final 2 starts of the campaign. However, after 6 months off he got back on track when third at Warwick (25.4f, good) 27 days ago. Enters calculations with recent run behind him. Two heavy-ground wins early this year and could build upon last month's reappearance third. |
|||
(2)  (6/1 -167%)Haut Folin |
6/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Haut Folin 6/1, Justified support when making a winning return at this C&D (heavy) last year. Placed on next 3 starts but form went the wrong way subsequently, pulled up in 3 of his last 4 races. He's now back below his last winning mark, though, so he's one to note. Disappointing end to last season but made winning reappearance over C&D last November. |

(7)  (15/2 -25%)Dysania |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dysania 15/2, Finally off the mark in novices' handicap at Lingfield (23.5f, soft) a year ago but mixed form remaining 3 starts last season, following a creditable effort with a poor one when pulled up at Sedgefield (26.9f, heavy) in January. Off 10 months. Pulled up when last seen but made winning reappearance last November; not discounted. |
|||
(4)  (10/1 -25%)Fashion's Model |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fashion's Model 10/1, Sent chasing last season, off the mark on final start of the campaign as she landed mares' handicap at Wincanton (20.2f, heavy) in April. However, failed to come on for reappearance run when pulled up at Ludlow a week ago. Needs to get back on track. Won at Wincanton in April but she's struggled on her two starts this autumn. |
|||
(6)  (16/1 -14%)Eurowork |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eurowork 16/1, Opened Rules account in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f) in December 2021, but after an 11-month absence he's struggled for form since, tailed off at Market Rasen when last seen in June 2023. Has enough to prove after 18 months off. 10yo who was out of form when last seen in the first half of 2023; plenty to prove. |
|||
(5)  (16/1 +60%)Esperti |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Esperti 16/1, Little impact over hurdles for this yard and hasn't fared any better over fences on his last 3 starts, well-beaten fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (19.4f, heavy) 12 days ago. Best watched back up in trip. Has tumbled down the weights but he's been well beaten on his last five starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TWILIGHT GLORY was not disgraced when filling third place on his seasonal return over 3m1f at Warwick last month and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that outing. Captain Claude was highly progressive last season and has to be of interest, despite the 249-day break. Esperti edges out Fashion's Model to be best of the rest.
CAPTAIN CLAUDE showed improved form switched to chasing last season, successful on his first 2 starts before continuing in good heart for the remainder of the campaign, so he is taken to pick up where he left off and resume winning ways. Twilight Glory ran creditably on his return and could be the main danger, ahead of C&D winner Haut Folin.
Venetia Williams is firmly among the winners and HAUT FOLIN can make a winning reappearance here for the second season in a row.

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.
