1st (4)  (8/1 +43%)Time Interval |
8/1(+43%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Time Interval 8/1, Fairly useful 10f winner on Flat for John Flint. Showed some aptitude for hurdling with a tongue tie on at Ludlow in November but went backwards from that a month later and has left David Pipe. Also had a `breathing op in that time. Useful Flat-racer; ran okay on hurdling debut; changed stables after a lesser effort. |
|||
2nd (2)  (6/4 -25%)Global Esteem |
6/4(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Global Esteem 6/4, Fairly useful 1m handicapper on Flat for John Gallagher. Showed definite aptitude for hurdling on 2 of his 3 starts in novice company during second half of last year and found only one too good on return 12 days ago. The one to beat returned to a right-handed track. Clear second in recent Plumpton maiden and ought to play another big role here. |
|||
3rd (9)  (50/1 -25%)Kentucky Bluegrass |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kentucky Bluegrass 50/1, Fairly useful on the Flat (seemingly stays 1¼m) for David O'Meara but never involved at long odds both hurdles outings. Dual Flat winner last spring but unable to land a blow on either hurdle start this year. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/2 +31%)Jumeirah King |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jumeirah King 11/2, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Kevin Ryan but fitted with a tongue tie, he failed badly to meet expectations on hurdles debut in January. Showed a bit more at Wincanton 3 months later despite still looking in need of the experience. Bettered inauspicious stable/hurdle debut when fourth at Wincanton last month; a possible. |
|||
5th (12)  (28/1 -40%)Morning Fortune |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Morning Fortune 28/1, Placed on second of 2 starts in Irish points showed ability when fifth of 16 on 19.5f Chepstow hurdles debut last month. Disappointing at Fontwell last week and turned out quickly. Shaped with promise on last month's rules debut but Fontwell last week was disappointing. |
|||
6th (7)  (17/2 +39%)Don Rafael |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Don Rafael 17/2, Minor promise in a trio of bumpers and makes hurdles debut at a fairly ordinary level. Kept on for respectable sixth of 16 in Ludlow bumper last month; hurdle debut today. |
|||
7th (3)  (100/1 +0%)Tampico Rocco |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tampico Rocco 100/1, Yet to better poor form in bumpers/over hurdles. Soundly beaten on all four hurdling starts last season, the latest in plating company. |
|||
8th (10)  (50/1 -150%)Kintaro |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kintaro 50/1, Fair maiden at best on Flat, stays 1½m, below form in handicaps this year. Headgear off switched to hurdling. Has not shown a great deal on the AW this year; makes hurdle debut today. |
|||
9th (6)  (100/1 -150%)Dartman |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dartman 100/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 9f, well held on stable debut last time. Hurdles bow. Has some fair Flat form on his CV but was well beaten on stable debut; hurdle debut today. |
|||
10th (14)  (4/1 -33%)Jo's Rainbow |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Jo's Rainbow 4/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m), won handicap at Haydock in 2023, well held final 3 starts. Sold from K. R. Burke 20,000 gns in February but joined top NH yard and receives weight all round. Flat winner last summer (RPR 80); bought for 20,000gns in February; stable/hurdle debut. |
|||
11th (11)  (100/1 -100%)Clover Pass |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Clover Pass 100/1, Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler but little in the way of promise herself. Pulled up in run-of-the-mill Worcester maiden on hurdling debut just over a year ago. |
|||
12th (1)  (14/1 +58%)Duc Du Rene |
14/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Duc Du Rene 14/1, Half-brother to 4 winners and almost certainly would've finished in the money had he not stumbled on debut in a Chepstow bumper in February. Pretty disappointing since and looks a longer-term project over hurdles having left Evan Williams. Showed some promise for Evan Williams; worth a glance in the betting before stable debut. |
|||
13th (13)  (200/1 -100%)Whitehall Flyer |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Whitehall Flyer 200/1, Looks limited on early evidence. Showed no promise when a big-priced outsider for three maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn. |
|||
14th (5)  (150/1 -50%)Constitution |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Constitution 150/1, Modest on the balance of his Flat form for Jamie Osborne and having been sold cheaply, he virtually refused ro race on hurdles debut. Struggling from fairly early stage when 200-1 for last summer's stable/hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having posted a personal best over timber when runner-up at Plumpton earlier this month, a similar performance from GLOBAL ESTEEM could enable a breakthrough victory in this sphere. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding should put his experience to good use and he may be able to fend off hurdles/stable debutant Jo's Rainbow, who is of a similar ability to the selection on the level and could go close if taking to this discipline for leading connections. Jumeirah King may chase the duo home.
The return to a right-handed track will suit GLOBAL ESTEEM given he jumped that way at Plumpton and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark in this sphere. Jo's Rainbow receives all of the allowances on stable/hurdles debut and is a huge threat if taking to it.
The most persuasive option is GLOBAL ESTEEM, who was well clear of the others when second to a well-backed winner at Plumpton recently.

1st (4)  (7/1 -100%)Behind The Curtain |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Behind The Curtain 7/1, Back over hurdles on his third start for David Pipe, opened his jumps account in amateurs' handicap at Wincanton (21.4f) in March. Bounced back to the same form when second at this course (25.5f) 11 days ago, so he enters calculations. Has very mixed record since the autumn but ran well when second over C&D 11 days ago. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/1 +25%)Charles St |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Charles St 9/1, Tricky customer who finally got the job done over hurdles at Market Rasen (20.6f) in November. However, failed to repeat that effort next time, before unable to sustain his effort back from a break at Ludlow (23.8f) a month ago. Others more persuasive. 2m4f winner in November but has his quirks and is not yet proven over this far. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/2 -25%)Halifax |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Halifax 5/2, Built on the promise of his previous outing when bagging fourth success for current yard at Kempton (24.5f) at the start of the month, scoring with a bit in hand. Remains on a workable mark so he's not taken lightly. Still on workable mark after 4lb rise for recent Kempton win; ought to be in the mix. |
|||
4th (6)  (9/4 +44%)Mactavish |
9/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mactavish 9/4, Recorded back-to-back wins here (both at 21.7f) last year and has continued in good heart since, running well on his return from a break when second at Ludlow (21.2f) 12 days ago. Could be ready to resume winning ways back at this venue. Dual 2m5f course winner in the autumn and ran well this month, after a break. |
|||
5th (5)  (15/2 +46%)Lepashe |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lepashe 15/2, Went close on handicap debut at Doncaster (24.4f) in early 2023 but didn't find any progress last season, including over fences. However, stepped forward from his recent run when fourth at Warwick (25f) 18 days ago. Task is now to build on that. Ran quite well when fourth at Warwick this month but others have more persuasive profiles. |
|||
6th (2)  (7/1 +0%)Basford |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Basford 7/1, Scored 3 times over hurdles last summer, producing a dominant display in a Southwell handicap (24.3f) in July. Not disgraced after 9 months off at the same course last time, so he could fare better with that run behind him in reapplied visor. Improved when visor was added in early part of last season, and ran okay after a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MACTAVISH found only a progressive rival too strong on his return from a break over 2m5f at Ludlow earlier this month. This stiffer test of stamina should suit the seven-year-old and compensation could await. The biggest threat may be posed by recent Kempton scorer Halifax, who has possibly been let in lightly racing off only 4lb higher in the ratings. C&D runner-up Behind The Curtain is also likely to be in the shake-up.
MACTAVISH picked up where he left off from the winter when finding only an improving type too strong at Ludlow 12 days ago, so he looks to hold major claims of landing a third course success. He is preferred to Halifax, who can remain competitive after his recent win at Kempton, with Behind The Curtain also in the mix.
Dual course winner MACTAVISH returned from a break with a pleasing effort 12 days ago and may still have potential over staying trips.

(7)  (16/1 -60%)Man Of Light |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Man Of Light 16/1, Modest winner at 17f over hurdles but suffered a heavy fall on chase debut at Taunton in March and he's not threatened in finishing midfield in handicaps at Exeter/Ffos Las since. Ran better than 22l defeat might suggest last time but has basically become disappointing. |
|||
1st (5)  (9/2 -80%)Tonto Foley |
9/2(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tonto Foley 9/2, Hurdles winner last summer and confirmed chase debut promise under a positive ride back down in trip (jumped boldly) when successful at Taunton (2m, soft) in March. Very much the type to do better from his low base and well worth considering once more. Clearcut winner at Taunton in March and might be seen to even better effect on good ground. |
|||
2nd (2)  (3/1 -9%)Famoso |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Famoso 3/1, Consistent sort who notched third success over fences when scoring in good style over C&D in January. Respectable efforts in defeat have followed, good second back here 17 days ago and he ought to give his running again from revised mark. Looked as good as ever when second over C&D this month; likely contender again. |
|||
3rd (1)  (20/1 -100%)Ben Buie |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ben Buie 20/1, Three-time winner in 2022/23, including over C&D and perked up by return to positive tactics/refitting of a visor when winning at Warwick/here in the autumn. Proved disappointing in 2 starts thereafter but given a break since and refitting of cheekpieces could put an extra edge on him. Has fitness to prove but runs this track well and has a good 5lb claimer enlisted. |
|||
4th (10)  (33/1 +0%)Beannaigh Do |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Beannaigh Do 33/1, Offered more when second on Ffos Las chase debut last spring but has failed to build on that, adding to a patchy record when pulled up at Ludlow in February. Passed over operating from out of the weights. 0-15 under all codes; difficult to enthuse over from 4lb out of the handicap. |
|||
5th (3)  (5/1 +29%)Pittsburg |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pittsburg 5/1, Dual winner over fences last summer and held form well over both sets of obstacles thereafter. Opened his account on the level at Kempton (11f) in March and far from disgraced on 2 of his 3 starts in that sphere since. Not out of things returned to chasing. AW winner in March; back chasing on workable mark but others appeal more all the same. |
|||
6th (6)  (9/1 +36%)Uncle Arthur |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Uncle Arthur 9/1, Opened his hurdles account for Fergal O'Brien in December but has struggled for this stable since. Returns to chasing with a bit to prove (unseated sole previous try in this sphere). 0-7 over hurdles for stable and looks too risky on this second chasing attempt. |
|||
7th (8)  (40/1 +0%)Whyzzat |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Whyzzat 40/1, Fair hurdles winner in Ireland in 2021 but hasn't shown much in handful of starts for present connections, only fifth of 9 in C&D handicap chase 17 days ago having raced freely. Others boast much more compelling claims. Ran well to a point over C&D this month but remains without a win since 2021. |
|||
|U| (9)  (9/2 +44%)Ballymagee |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ballymagee 9/2, Maiden who produced best effort in this sphere when third at Ffos Las (2m) in October. However, not in same form thereafter (often let down by jumping) and pulled up back over hurdles at Wincanton (19.8f) in March. Return to 2m rates a likely plus back over fences. Has gone the wrong way since his respectable third at Ffos Las in October. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (5/1 +33%)Big Jim Beam |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Big Jim Beam 5/1, Ex-pointer who was a fairly useful winner on only start in bumpers but ran a good way below that level on completed starts over hurdles during 2022/23 season. Lengthy absence to overcome now attentions switch to chasing/following wind op but he arrives with his yard amongst the winners. Very unexposed 8yo; makes chase/handicap debut after long layoff; matket may guide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having scored over fences at the second time of asking at Taunton in March, Tonto Foley likely has more to offer. However, the six-year-old is effectively 12lb higher in the ratings without Ellis Collier's 7lb claim, which may be enough for FAMOSO to regain the winning thread. Matt Sheppard's gelding often gives his best at this venue and a fourth career victory could beckon. A first-time hood might enable an improved bid from Man Of Light.
TONTO FOLEY was well suited by positive tactics when opening his chase account in good style at Taunton in March, going with plenty of zest/jumping boldly. Open to further progress from a low base, he earns the vote to follow up. Famoso continues in form and is respected, with Big Jim Beam also one to note on belated return/chase debut with the Warren Greatrex yard amongst the winners.
There could still be a lot more to come from low-mileage 6yo TONTO FOLEY (nap), who jumped well when winning at Taunton in March.

(5)  (7/2 +0%)Seasmoke |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Seasmoke 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden who comes here on the back of a good fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21f, good) 30 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Races off the same mark. Engaged 2.58 Market Rasen Thursday. Held on gamely to win from the front at Market Rasen yesterday; has penalty here. |
|||
(3)  (9/1 -13%)Cher Tara |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cher Tara 9/1, Has caught the eye on her last two runs, not given at all a hard time when fifth in 2m Warwick novice 17 days ago. Likely more to come in handicaps over further. Engaged 2.58 Market Rasen Thursday. Faded out of contention when upped to 2m4f for yesterday's handicap debut. |
|||
1st (6)  (6/4 +45%)Al Sayah |
6/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Al Sayah 6/4, Left previous hurdle efforts behind when making a successful handicap debut over 19f at Fontwell (good) 16 days ago, well on top at the finish. Raised 5 lb but good chance there's more to come from her. Won quite comfortably on handicap debut and could still be well treated after a 5lb rise. |
|||
2nd (7)  (4/1 +11%)Triple Nickle |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Triple Nickle 4/1, Just one win from 16 starts over hurdles but she did run with credit when second of 10 over 2½m at Ffos Las (good to soft) 17 days ago. Contender if in a similar mood. Just 1-16 over hurdles but ran well in defeat at Ffos Las this month. |
|||
3rd (1)  (9/2 +63%)Only Fools |
9/2(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Only Fools 9/2, Dual hurdle winner last season, latterly at Fontwell (19f, heavy) in March. Run of good form came to a halt back at Fontwell 16 days ago but capable of bouncing back. Didn't fire on latest outing but won twice last season and enter calculations. |
|||
4th (8)  (7/2 +75%)Inchiquin Spirit |
7/2(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Inchiquin Spirit 7/2, Maiden Irish pointer who bettered her previous efforts under Rules when fourth of 12 here in March (first run after wind surgery) but in nothing like the same form when pulled up at Ludlow since. Ran well for a long way when fourth over C&D in March but pulled up since. |
|||
5th (2)  (10/1 -82%)Ryder's Rock |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ryder's Rock 10/1, 14/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (2¼m) 35 days ago. Still not fully exposed and the step back up to 2½m could suit her. 0-7 over hurdles but ran well last month, after a break; high on the list. |
|||
6th (4)  (50/1 -52%)Chinook |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chinook 50/1, Ex-Irish mare ran well on second start for this stable when fifth at Ludlow last spring but has struggled since. First-time blinkers need to have a positive effect. 0-13 over hurdles and needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AL SAYAH ran out a comfortable winner when upped to 2m3f on her handicap debut at Fontwell and, with further improvement to come, she is fancied to defy a 5lb rise in the ratings. Ryder's Rock posted a solid placed effort on her comeback run over an extended 2m1f at the same venue and she could improve for stepping back up in trip. Recent Ffos Las runner-up Triple Nickle cannot be ruled out either.
AL SAYAH has the potential to build on her Fontwell handicap hurdle debut success and can make light of a 5 lb rise. Recent Ffos Las runner-up Triple Nickle may give her most to do ahead of Ryder's Rock, who promises to be suited by the step back up in trip. Dan Skelton's Cher Tara would also firmly enter the reckoning if turning up here rather than Market Rasen on Thursday.
The most obvious answer is AL SAYAH, who did not need to be asked for maximum effort to win by 4l on her recent handicap debut.

(1)  (3/1 -9%)Mulberry Hill |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mulberry Hill 3/1, Fair handicap hurdler who produced a career-best effort on her third chase start when winning at Kempton (20.5f) in November. Well held next 2 starts, though recent run back over hurdles was likely needed after 5 months off. Worth another chance back down in class over fences. Good winner at Kempton in November but now has a point to prove. |
|||
1st (3)  (Evens +70%)Riskintheground |
Evens(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Riskintheground Evens, Showed fair winning form over hurdles and did enough in a handful of starts last season to suggest he's as good over fences. Drop back in trip should suit after 5 months off. 0-4 over fences but his Kempton third in October was a good effort; returns from a break. |
|||
2nd (5)  (12/1 -118%)Kauto The King |
12/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kauto The King 12/1, Not the most genuine but did pick up a 4-runner handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f) in September. Not seen since taking a heavy fall at Exeter in October, however. Nine chase wins; not the force of old, though, and absent since nasty incident in October. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6/4 +45%)Hardy Boy |
6/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hardy Boy 6/4, Won at Huntingdon around this time last year and held form well after, creditable third here (25f) despite making plenty of errors when last seen in January. In the mix again. Just 1-11 over fences but scores good marks for consistency and is suited by this track. |
|||
4th (2)  (17/2 -31%)Quoi De Neuf |
17/2(-31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Quoi De Neuf 17/2, Returned to winning ways in 4-runner handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) last summer but is becoming increasingly unreliable, so difficult to know what to expect back from a break. Has claims if judged on Catterick second in November but has become inconsistent. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HARDY BOY was beaten a neck over 2m7f at Taunton in both November and December, and possibly just found 3m1f beyond him here in January. This trip should suit him perfectly and, freshened up by a break, he looks the one to beat. Riskintheground remains unexposed over fences and sits on a dangerous mark, while Kauto The King also has a squeak off bottom weight.
MULBERRY HILL had possible excuses since beating a classy yardstick at Kempton in November so is worth another chance back in this sphere. The drop back in trip should suit Riskintheground so he rates the main threat for the Skeltons.
Mulberry Hill will be dangerous if back on song but preference is for consistent 7yo HARDY BOY, who has conditions to suit.

9/4(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jaxonne 9/4, Landed a gamble in dominant fashion at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) earlier this month. Went as though still very well-in under a penalty at Southwell on Wednesday but didn't find anything like the finishing effort to match how he'd moved, looking undone by the heavy ground. Won easily on good ground this month; weakened on soft on Wednesday; well in again here. |

1st (6)  (9/2 +40%)Symbolic Spirit |
9/2(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Symbolic Spirit 9/2, A fair maiden hurdler for Amy Murphy. Off 7 months when respectable third on Fakenham stable debut in March but disappointing when pulled up at Huntingdon (11/8) since. Still early days for this top yard though. 0-11 over hurdles but had excuse when pulled up last time and has not been with yard long. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/4 +39%)Captain Attridge |
11/4(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Captain Attridge 11/4, Fair maiden on the Flat but he readily got off the mark on his handicap hurdling debut here (2m) 17 days ago. Up 5 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood. Won quite comfortably over C&D this month and has scope for further progress. |
|||
3rd (11)  (11/4 +69%)Colonel Lesley |
11/4(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Colonel Lesley 11/4, Won last 2 starts for Claire Harris in 2022. Only twice raced since but posted a good second for his new handler in 2m handicap at Plumpton 12 days ago. One for the shortlist. Lightly raced in recent years but was clear second on recent stable debut. |
|||
4th (10)  (33/1 +0%)Outback Frontiers |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Outback Frontiers 33/1, Off nearly 2 years before a well-held tenth in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 43 days ago. A fair 2m winner in 2022 but needs to take a big step forward. Made low-key return from long absence last month but might fare better here. |
|||
5th (9)  (25/1 -25%)Mambo Beat |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mambo Beat 25/1, Fair Flat winner but yet to better modest form over hurdles, beaten just under 14 lengths when third in C&D handicap last month. Others appeal more. Safely held when third over C&D on handicap debut but the form has worked out well. |
|||
6th (4)  (33/1 -65%)Crews Pitch |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crews Pitch 33/1, Maiden hurdler who came in last of 5 on his stable debut in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) 74 days ago. Tongue strap goes back on now and cheekpieces are reached for too. Struggled on stable debut in March but there are reasons to he hopeful today. |
|||
7th (5)  (8/1 +43%)Good Impression |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Good Impression 8/1, A dual 2m scorer last term who resumed with a respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago. One to consider. Six-time hurdle winner; ran well this month and probably won't be far away. |
|||
8th (8)  (11/1 -22%)No More Bolero |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) No More Bolero 11/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in Germany. Hinted at promise on the first of 3 starts over hurdles in February/March. Has had wind surgery ahead of this switch to a handicap from a mark which could be lenient judged on Flat ability. Safely held in three novice/maiden hurdles but his useful Flat form makes him of interest. |
|||
9th (3)  (50/1 -52%)Eagle Of The Glen |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Eagle Of The Glen 50/1, Landed Huntingdon novice in October but never figured in 4 handicaps thereafter for Stuart Edmunds. Needs this yard switch to spark major improvement. Became very disappointing for Stuart Edmunds and posed no threat on stable debut. |
|||
10th (12)  (9/1 +44%)Lindwall |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Lindwall 9/1, Fair winning stayer on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott in 2021. Well held over hurdles since, so plenty to prove after 9 months off starting out for another new stable. 0-6 over hurdles for Donald McCain; makes stable debut after 294-day absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CAPTAIN ATTRIDGE comfortably disposed of a short-priced favourite over C&D recently and a 5lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if able to reproduce that performance. Colonel Lesley is entitled to improve for his comeback second at Plumpton and will likely show up well again, while Home And Dry could surprise one or two on his handicap debut. Jaxonne would be a big player if turned out quickly again after not quite getting home when third over 2m4f at Southwell on Wednesday evening.
CAPTAIN ATTRIDGE got off the mark with a bit to spare here recently and could follow up after a 5 lb rise. No More Bolero is interesting, while Jaxonne would have been the obvious selection but for a tame finish at Southwell on Wednesday.
He has not yet shown a great deal over hurdles but NO MORE BOLERO was a very talented Flat-racer when based in Germany.

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.
