---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (14) (6/1 +50%) Aggagio |
6/1(+50%) | (14) Aggagio 6/1, Likeable dual purpose performer who struck again over hurdles at Leicester in December. Just third having been well backed in a thin 5-runner contest at Fontwell 3 weeks ago and work to do in this much stronger race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (14/1 +0%) Castel Gandolfo |
14/1(+0%) | (8) Castel Gandolfo 14/1, Not added to his two wins over 2m early in the 2021/22 season but plenty of good efforts in the meantime, going close off this mark in last year's Final here. Got to be respected back from a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (3.6/1 -3%) Bubble Dubi |
3.6/1(-3%) | (10) Bubble Dubi 3.6/1, Belatedly put it all together as he justified strong support in 2m Stratford handicap 4 weeks ago, beating Word Has it by 3 lengths. More to come up 5 lb and this race should be run to suit his striking strong-travelling style. Leading claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5.5/1 +45%) Whizz Kid |
5.5/1(+45%) | (4) Whizz Kid 5.5/1, Notched up a third hurdles success and first of the season for in-form yard in extended 2m Doncaster handicap 5 weeks ago, getting up on the line under this rider. Nudged up 2 lb and wouldn't rule out for all this is tougher. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5/1 +17%) Too Friendly |
5/1(+17%) | (3) Too Friendly 5/1, Won 2 juvenile hurdles last season (also fifth in Fred Winter) and has been shaping well in defeat this term, not staying at Kempton (21f, heavy) 3 weeks ago having taken a keen hold. Interesting back over 2m in first-time blinkers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 +0%) Nayati |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Nayati 16/1, Missed nearly 3 years but returned better than ever, winning 3 times including a good pot at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. Fair runs in competitive handicaps the last twice but this is another hot race. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (28/1 -56%) Risk D'argent |
28/1(-56%) | (11) Risk D'argent 28/1, Fair winning hurdler who ran his best race over fences when third at Bangor a fortnight ago. Bit more needed back over the smaller obstacles in a competitive heat but may have more in the locker. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (10/1 +9%) Big Boy Bobby |
10/1(+9%) | (7) Big Boy Bobby 10/1, Got off the mark over hurdles in good style at Huntingdon (2m) in December and was just denied in a stronger race at Kempton over Christmas. Shaped as if still in good form after 11 weeks off at Fakenham but needs to step it up a gear to win this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (50/1 -150%) Cousu Main |
50/1(-150%) | (12) Cousu Main 50/1, Landed a second victory at Uttoxeter (2m) in January, landing a gamble with an easy victory. Not so good at Chepstow off revised mark since though and this is even tougher. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (20/1 -11%) Bashful Boy |
20/1(-11%) | (9) Bashful Boy 20/1, Won at Market Rasen last summer and been in top form on the AW Flat in recent months. On a good mark but needs a huge effort to land a race as competitive as this. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (10/1 -11%) Takeit Easy |
10/1(-11%) | (6) Takeit Easy 10/1, Four-time winning hurdler over 2m who hasn't shown his form in 3 outings this season, but has shaped better than the result on a couple of occasions and now been given another helping hand from the handicapper. Interesting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (40/1 -122%) Galice Macalo |
40/1(-122%) | (2) Galice Macalo 40/1, Useful hurdler who posted a career best when impressively winning 10-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m) in January. Excuses back from 7 weeks off behind Bubble Dubi at Stratford last month and should be closer to form here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (11/1 +39%) Fringill Dike |
11/1(+39%) | (13) Fringill Dike 11/1, Won three 2m novice events on the bounce at Hexham last year. Fair runs in Doncaster handicaps the last twice and on a workable mark but this is his toughest assignment to date. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Whizz Kid found the drop in grade to his liking when winning at Doncaster last month, but he may be worth taking on now returned to this higher level. TOO FRIENDLY finished ahead of that rival when fourth at Ascot in February and looks the type who could improve for the application of first-time blinkers. Nayati wasn't disgraced when eighth in the Morebattle at Kelso last time out and is another to note.
Any number to consider in a red-hot renewal of the final of this series but BUBBLE DUBI likely remains ahead of the handicapper after his Stratford success and has good claims in a race that should be run to suit his striking strong-travelling style. Too Friendly is very interesting back over 2m in first-time blinkers, while last year's second Castel Gandolfo is one to note at likely bigger odds.
Bubble Dubi is respected but the now-blinkered TOO FRIENDLY has been running well for a while and he wants this sharper test.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8) (4.5/1 -13%) Golden Glance |
4.5/1(-13%) | (8) Golden Glance 4.5/1, Fair form in minor events on the Flat for Simon & Ed Crisford, stays 1½m. Sold for 35,000 gns in November and has shaped with some encouragement on both starts over hurdles, though was flattered by her proximity to the easy winner at Huntingdon latest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.25/1 -20%) Global Famenglory |
2.25/1(-20%) | (2) Global Famenglory 2.25/1, Fair hurdler who shaped well after 11 months off when second in 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft) 68 days ago, clear of remainder. The one to beat on that form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 +50%) All The Glory |
4.5/1(+50%) | (1) All The Glory 4.5/1, Showed fair form in bumpers and shaped as if better for the run sent hurdling when fifth of 9 at Worcester (2m) on her return in October. Proved a disappointment when pulled up at Hereford next time but was possibly amiss and may fare better now returning from a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4.5/1 -13%) La Gomera |
4.5/1(-13%) | (4) La Gomera 4.5/1, Successful on her sole outing in points and showed plenty to work on when runner-up on her Doncaster hurdling debut (19.4f) in November. Failed by a long chalk to repeat that effort at Ludlow a month later but could get back on track after a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5/1 +17%) Pass The Love On |
5/1(+17%) | (7) Pass The Love On 5/1, Showed fair form when runner-up on second outing in bumpers and having had a breathing operation, offered something to work on sent hurdling after 14 months off when fifth at Wetherby (2m) in February. Ran to only a similar level when runner-up at Huntingdon since, though. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/1 +36%) Our Friend Mo |
9/1(+36%) | (6) Our Friend Mo 9/1, €7,000 3-y-o, £68,000 4-y-o, Mahler mare. Dam lightly raced in bumpers/over fences. Third sole start in Irish points (Oct 2022). Must be respected on Rules debut. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (80/1 -100%) Heneryetta Bay |
80/1(-100%) | (3) Heneryetta Bay 80/1, Won her sole start in Irish points but has shown little both starts under Rules. Needs this run for a handicap mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (40/1 -186%) On Cloud Nine |
40/1(-186%) | (5) On Cloud Nine 40/1, Runner-up on the second of 2 starts in points but ran to just a poor level making Rules debut in a Musselburgh bumper 15 days ago. Upped in trip for hurdle bow. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GLOBAL FAMENGLORY found only a progressive rival too good at Huntingdon in January and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. La Gomera will need to put her Ludlow disappointment in December behind her, but Alex Hales' mare cannot be ruled out judged on her penultimate effort at Doncaster. Golden Glance arrives in good heart and completes the shortlist.
GLOBAL FAMENGLORY shaped well from an unpromising position after 11 months off when runner-up in a 7-runner handicap at Huntingdon in January and has to be considered the one to beat on that piece of form. Golden Glance was grossly flattered by her proximity to the easy winner at Huntingdon last time but is clearly going the right way, while La Gomera is worth another chance back from a break having split two subsequent winners on her Doncaster hurdling debut before disappointing at Ludlow.
There should be a big run in LA GOMERA if she can recapture the form of her second at Doncaster. Her Ludlow effort is best forgotten.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (15) (4.5/1 +18%) Jeffery's Cross |
4.5/1(+18%) | (15) Jeffery's Cross 4.5/1, Maiden hurdle winner (at 21f) who has made a promising enough start over fences, runner-up all 3 starts, finding only a progressive sort too good at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Off since but remains unexposed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (18/1 -13%) Frenchy Du Large |
18/1(-13%) | (2) Frenchy Du Large 18/1, Dual 2½m winner last year and back to form at Taunton last 2 starts despite making mistakes. Headgear goes on now and not taken lightly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (12/1 +33%) Ladronne |
12/1(+33%) | (14) Ladronne 12/1, Wetherby winner in the autumn and added to his tally at Catterick in November. Decent runner-up efforts 2 of next 4 starts, including at Wetherby 18 days ago. Should give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 +0%) Tim Pat |
14/1(+0%) | (7) Tim Pat 14/1, Completed hat-trick over further here last season and back to best when close second at Doncaster in January. Excuses back here since so not without a chance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/1 +31%) Morning Spirit |
11/1(+31%) | (3) Morning Spirit 11/1, Confirmed promise of his reappearance when opening chase account at Carlisle (24.5f) in November. Mixed record since, though latest 7¾ lengths third of 9 to Mucho Mas at Sandown was decent. 5 lb better off with winner here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (8/1 +43%) Planned Paradise |
8/1(+43%) | (13) Planned Paradise 8/1, Winner at Worcester last summer and good second at Perth next time but just respectable efforts at best since. More needed back from a break. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (4.5/1 +50%) Feivel |
4.5/1(+50%) | (12) Feivel 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who made a winning start for the Stuart Edmunds yard in a Wetherby handicap in February. Bettered that form when second at Sandown but let down by jumping when strong in the betting at Wetherby last week. Headgear applied and worth another chance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (25/1 -108%) One True King |
25/1(-108%) | (4) One True King 25/1, Followed Market Rasen reappearance success with a couple of inauspicious displays but has worked his way back to form this year, respectable third at Kempton (20.5f, heavy) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (11/1 -10%) Small Present |
11/1(-10%) | (10) Small Present 11/1, Useful stayer over hurdles and produced best effort over fences when third in 27.6f Market Rasen handicap on Boxing Day. Good chance on that form but has disappointed both starts since. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (50/1 -52%) I See You Well |
50/1(-52%) | (5) I See You Well 50/1, Enjoyed a productive 2021/22 campaign and returned to form when seeing off 5 rivals at Sandown in December. Creditable fourth next 2 starts but probably just too high in the weights at present. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (6.5/1 +0%) Enqarde |
6.5/1(+0%) | (8) Enqarde 6.5/1, Landed the Tommy Whittle here off 3 lb higher last season but well held all 4 starts this term. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (8.5/1 +39%) Neon Moon |
8.5/1(+39%) | (6) Neon Moon 8.5/1, Progressive over hurdles last season, winning 3 times, and has taken well to fences without winning. Extra distance not sure to suit. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (16/1 +11%) Sam Barton |
16/1(+11%) | (9) Sam Barton 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who was better than ever when making winning return to action at Worcester (23f) in October. Back to that level when third at Newton Abbot last month but others look better treated. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (40/1 -100%) Tide Times |
40/1(-100%) | (11) Tide Times 40/1, Back-to-back winner at Ludlow last season and again hit the target at this venue in a 6-runner handicap (25.6f, soft) in January. Held back by jumping both starts since, however, and this looks too competitive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
MUCHO MAS defied an 80-day absence to win at Sandown last month and a 4lb rise may not prevent him from completing a hat-trick. Neon Moon has yet to win over fences in six attempts, but he has plenty of solid form to his name and can be expected to be in the mix once more. Frenchy Du Large shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop in distance and also merits respect.
MUCHO MAS has much improved since upped in trip, scoring at Lingfield and Sandown on his last 2 starts, and remains one to keep on the right side of as he bids for the hat-trick. The unexposed Jeffery's Cross is next best ahead of Feivel, who looked progressive prior to his unseat at Wetherby.
It's easy to fancy a few, notably Mucho Mas and Feivel. However, course specialist ENQARDE has become temptingly treated.

1st (16) (11/1 +8%) Tiger Jet |
11/1(+8%) | (16) Tiger Jet 11/1, Dual winner at up 23.3f this term who has run creditably in handicaps since, sixth of 11 at Kelso last time. Should be competitive again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +47%) The Changing Man |
4.5/1(+47%) | (3) The Changing Man 4.5/1, Completed a handicap hat-trick when easily scoring at Uttoxeter (23f) in November and has progressed further since, eighth of 23 in Pertemps at Cheltenham last time. Can go well again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (40/1 -43%) Young Butler |
40/1(-43%) | (12) Young Butler 40/1, Dual 2m4f hurdles scorer last term but he's yet to fire this term over fences and back in this sphere. Lots more is needed despite a falling mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (9/1 +10%) My Bobby Dazzler |
9/1(+10%) | (10) My Bobby Dazzler 9/1, Won at Aintree last December and got back on track when second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, good to soft, 12/1) 42 days ago. Has since had a wind op so he merits consideration off an unchanged mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (3.33/1 +17%) Itso Fury |
3.33/1(+17%) | (4) Itso Fury 3.33/1, Succesful over 21f on his first two starts over hurdles in the autumn and made an eye-catching return from 12 weeks off when patiently-ridden third in 3m Ascot handicap last time. Remains unexposed at this trip and rates a big player for yard which has an excellent record in this event. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (16/1 +27%) Apple Rock |
16/1(+27%) | (8) Apple Rock 16/1, Completed his hat-trick at Taunton (3m) in December and not disgraced back from a break when sixth at Ascot last time. One for the shortlist. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (7.5/1 -7%) Hyland |
7.5/1(-7%) | (5) Hyland 7.5/1, Dual hurdles winner last spring but only twice raced since, nonetheless posting a good second of 7 in handicap at Newbury (24.2f, good to firm) 36 days ago. No forlorn hope for top yard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (28/1 +15%) Midnightreflection |
28/1(+15%) | (6) Midnightreflection 28/1, Resumed winning ways at Doncaster in February and not disgraced when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, soft) 26 days ago. Not discounted. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (16/1 +27%) Halifax |
16/1(+27%) | (15) Halifax 16/1, Gained a deserved first success at Exeter (23f) in February and backed it up with a solid fourth under a 7 lb penalty in 3m Newbury handicap last month. Likely to give another good account of himself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (125/1 -279%) Bold Soldier |
125/1(-279%) | (13) Bold Soldier 125/1, Arrived on the up but tongue tied and came in last of 4 on his handicap debut at Market Rasen (23.1f, heavy) 18 days ago. Still low mileage so he shouldn't be written off yet. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (20/1 +0%) Sirobbie |
20/1(+0%) | (14) Sirobbie 20/1, Scored over 25f at Huntingdon last May but he's been largely below par since, only fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (26f, soft) 27 days ago. Others appeal more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (40/1 -21%) Burrows Park |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Burrows Park 40/1, Landed 23f handicap hurdle at Exeter in January and not disgraced since, ridden too aggressively when seventeenth in Pertemps at Cheltenham 23 days ago. Can give another good account. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (4/1 +27%) Farmer's Gamble |
4/1(+27%) | (11) Farmer's Gamble 4/1, Took his form up a notch when back to winning ways in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter (23.1f, soft) 66 days ago, staying on strongly. Hiked up 9 lb but still holds solid claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (18/1 -80%) Docpickedme |
18/1(-80%) | (2) Docpickedme 18/1, Arrives on a hat-trick after landing 3m handicaps at Southwell and Doncaster this winter. Up 6 lb and this is tougher so he needs another step forward. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (33/1 -106%) Pileon |
33/1(-106%) | (9) Pileon 33/1, Winless since 2021 and he came in only tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (20.5f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces are left off now and he needs to get back on track. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
ITSO FURY shaped better than the bare result when third at Ascot in February and, with that form working out well, Jonjo O'Neill's charge makes most appeal. Docpickedme has proven to be a revelation since being switched back to hurdles this season and a 6lb rise for his victory last time at Doncaster should see him remain competitive. Apple Rock finished just under four lengths behind the selection in sixth when last seen and he isn't taken lightly.
Jonjo O'Neill has landed this event three times in the past five years and his unexosed stayer ITSO FURY teed himself up perfectly for a bold showing when an eye-catching fifth at Ascot so gets the vote. Dan Skelton's Farmer's Gamble is feared most on the back of his emphatic Exeter success despite being clobbered with a 9 lb rise, with in-form duo My Bobby Dazzler and Burrows Park completing the shortlist.
Jonjo O'Neill targets this race having won three of the last five renewals and he has another live contender in ITSO FURY (nap).

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (6/1 +8%) Stylish Moment |
6/1(+8%) | (6) Stylish Moment 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best for Eoin Doyle. Positive start to this season when a close third at Carlisle (24.5f) in October. Not built on that effort in handful of starts since but he can't be discounted in a race where majority have something to prove. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (6/1 +79%) Special Acceptance |
6/1(+79%) | (10) Special Acceptance 6/1, Infrequent winner (1-21) who has finished well held all 3 starts over fences upon returning from a lengthy absence this year, no chance from 5 out when fifth in 7-runner Warwick handicap (25.5f) 17 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7.5/1 +12%) D'Jango |
7.5/1(+12%) | (8) D'Jango 7.5/1, Recorded his third victory of the season at Lingfield (28.8f) last month but failed to back that up when fourth at Exeter (30.7f) next time. Latest run in Midlands National best overlooked (faced stiff task) but he isn't the easiest to predict overall. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (4/1 -167%) Domaine De L'Isle |
4/1(-167%) | (3) Domaine De L'Isle 4/1, Tumbled down the weights and finally took advantage (in refitted blinkers) when landing small-field Chepstow marathon contest 16 days ago. That was a weak race but he holds claims from 3 lb higher in another trappy affair. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (6/1 +14%) Achille |
6/1(+14%) | (7) Achille 6/1, Plenty of good staying handicap form to his name over the years but failed to make an impact for some time despite his mark easing plenty. plodding on for third behind Domain De L'isle at Chepstow (30.6f) 16 days ago. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (5.5/1 +45%) Ballinslea Bridge |
5.5/1(+45%) | (9) Ballinslea Bridge 5.5/1, Runner-up on return at Huntingdon and duly went one better at Market Rasen (3m, soft) in December, ending a losing run of almost 5 years. Disappointed next 2 starts but more like it when runner-up at Wincanton (25.1f) 12 days ago, headed last and no extra. Each-way claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (5.5/1 +21%) Cobolobo |
5.5/1(+21%) | (1) Cobolobo 5.5/1, Winless since 2020 and essentially become disappointing, forcing pace and folding from 3 out when last seen at Ayr (3m) in December. Handicapper has relinquished his grip at least and fact he's gone well fresh in past is a plus. Market may guide. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (11/1 +21%) West Approach |
11/1(+21%) | (4) West Approach 11/1, Irresolute performer who's been in and out this season and he again found very little when eighth in 9-runner veterans' chase at Wincanton (25f) 12 days ago. Likely best to look elsewhere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 -25%) Finawn Bawn |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Finawn Bawn 50/1, Bumper/useful dual novice hurdler winner earlier in career but seen only 3 times since spring 2019, pulled up over fences/hurdles during 2021/22 campaign. Clearly tough to assess on belated return/yard debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DOMAINE DE L'ISLE bounced back to form with the blinkers refitted at Chepstow recently and another bold bid looks on the cards off only 3lb higher. Ballinslea Bridge wasn't disgraced when runner-up at Wincanton last week and Harriet Dickin's gelding should not be ruled out in this similar contest, while you can also make a decent case for Achille, who has dropped to a very attractive mark.
Chepstow-scorer DOMAINE DE L'ISLE will be the one to beat if turning up in the same form, with Stylish Moment and Cobolobo a couple of others that could get involved.
None of these veterans scores highly for reliability these days but DOMAINE DE L'ISLE produced the most persuasive recent performance.

1st (3) (3.5/1 -5%) Some Scope |
3.5/1(-5%) | (3) Some Scope 3.5/1, Irish point winner who has shown fair form over hurdles, fourth of 10 at Carlisle (17f) last time. This stiffer test promises to suit now handicapping and he's not discounted, for all that he a step forward is certainly required. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6.5/1 +54%) Imperial B G |
6.5/1(+54%) | (4) Imperial B G 6.5/1, Fair bumper winner who has offered definite promise over hurdles. Handicap outings have been uninspiring but has had a break since being pulled up at Bangor. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (9/1 +36%) Doors Breaker |
9/1(+36%) | (10) Doors Breaker 9/1, Scored at Doncaster in February but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f) 33 days ago. Needs to bounce back. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8/1 +43%) Bobalot |
8/1(+43%) | (1) Bobalot 8/1, Scored on his handicap debut at Chepstow (3m) in October but disappointing since and others are preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (50/1 +38%) Loch Garman Aris |
50/1(+38%) | (11) Loch Garman Aris 50/1, Veteran who won twice in the mud at Bangor in May 2021 but has completed only once since, faring no betterat Southwell recently. Hard to fancy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (9/1 +50%) Master Of The Malt |
9/1(+50%) | (9) Master Of The Malt 9/1, Still a maiden but returned to form with a solid third at Sedgefield 16 days ago. Not certain to build on that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (6.5/1 -8%) Aldsworth |
6.5/1(-8%) | (6) Aldsworth 6.5/1, Showed promise in a Stratford bumper and stepped up on previous hurdling efforts when third on handicap debut at Taunton 37 days ago. One to consider. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (7.5/1 +6%) Braganza Bay |
7.5/1(+6%) | (7) Braganza Bay 7.5/1, Resumed winning ways back in headgear in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f) 34 days ago, leading close home. Has struggled for consistency, so he's not sure to be in the same form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (4/1 -45%) Marty Time |
4/1(-45%) | (5) Marty Time 4/1, 17/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 11 days ago. Going the right way since switched to handicaps and shapes as if this longer trip could bring even more out of him. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (20/1 +20%) Rocket Robbo |
20/1(+20%) | (8) Rocket Robbo 20/1, Modest form at best over hurdles and was running below form when falling at Southwell last time. Hard to make a strong case for. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In an open event, a chance is taken on SOME SCOPE, who was taken out of two intended runs on account of soft ground last month, so connections will be hopeful that isn't the case here. A point-to-point winner in May last year, he ought to relish a step up in trip on his handicap bow. Others to note include Marty Time, Here Comes The Man and Aldsworth.
MARTY TIME readily opened his account at Hexham last time and this extra distance holds no fears for him, so he's preferred to Here Comes The Man, who is also lightly raced. Some Scope looks an interesting handicap debutant up in trip.
There's 4f more today but MARTY TIME drew nicely clear over 2m4f on heavy ground last time and has run well in his only two handicaps.

1st (6) (3.33/1 +49%) Fazayte |
3.33/1(+49%) | (6) Fazayte 3.33/1, Made third start over fences a winning one when narrowly taking Market Rasen handicap (19.2f) in December and has proved admirably consistent over hurdles since. Remains fairly treated and may be capable of better in this sphere. Cheekpieces back on. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3/1 +10%) Croagh Patrick |
3/1(+10%) | (7) Croagh Patrick 3/1, Back-to-back winner over fences in March of 2022 and returned to form when second of 9 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, soft, 11/2) 13 days ago. Likely player off same mark. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (8/1 +6%) Cremant |
8/1(+6%) | (5) Cremant 8/1, Won an Aintree handicap hurdle (20f) last June and largely run with credit in defeat over fences since. However, well below par when last seen at Uttoxeter in September and is still looking for his first win over the larger obstacles. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 +30%) Spark Of Madness |
7/1(+30%) | (4) Spark Of Madness 7/1, Winning start over fences at Perth (2m) last May and improved upped to this trip when doubling his chase tally in 4-runner Newcastle handicap in November. Far from disgraced off this mark at Ayr subsequently and must enter calculations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 -17%) O'connell |
7/1(-17%) | (2) O'connell 7/1, Winner of sole completed start between the flags and showed promise in 3 starts over hurdles, latest when fourth of 13 in novice at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Warrants respect on chasing bow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (5/1 -50%) Upagainstit |
5/1(-50%) | (3) Upagainstit 5/1, Runner-up sole start in Irish points and improved on his hurdles form when making a winning start in this sphere at Warwick (16.2f, soft) last month. Just 3 lb higher now and may have more to offer yet. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (6.5/1 -30%) Hold Onto The Line |
6.5/1(-30%) | (1) Hold Onto The Line 6.5/1, Had wind op before completing his hat-trick on chasing debut at Musselburgh (20.3f) in November. However, possibly amiss when last of 4 (back from 3 months off) at same course since and percentage call is to look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
UPAGAINSTIT made an immediate impact when sent over fences for the first time, recording a narrow success at Warwick, and a 3lb rise in the handicap could prove lenient given it's unlikely that we've seen the best of him. Croagh Patrick continues to run well in defeat and he merits a place on the shortlist, along with the consistent Fazayte.
CROAGH PATRICK bounced back to form at Carlisle last time and figures off a handy mark. He gets the nod in what looks a competitive finale. Upagainstit and Fazayte are feared most.
A trappy finale with all seven worthy of consideration. FAZAYTE was a winner on his final run over fences in December.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
