|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (8)  (13/2 -30%)Mister Upton |
13/2(-30%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mister Upton 13/2, No great shakes over hurdles but much improved to make a winning start in this sphere at Fontwell (19.5f) in May. Latest fourth back at that venue (following 6 months off) was a solid display but his present mark looks to demand that bit more. Won on chase debut at Fontwell in May and both subsequent runs there were respectable. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/2 +18%)Jac Jumper |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jac Jumper 9/2, Hurdles winner in France who has been holding form well in defeat over fences this year, the longer trip seeming to stretch him when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f) 38 days ago. Return to shorter in his favour now with cheekpieces enlisted. 0-6 over fences but consistent since June; big player if aided by cheekpieces. |
|||
3rd (9)  (10/3 -33%)Boys Of Wexford |
10/3(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Boys Of Wexford 10/3, Ended last season in good form and showed benefit of his reappearance run when winning 6-runner handicap chase (6/1) at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 24 days ago, asserting from 2 out and forging clear. Needs considering from 5 lb higher mark in this groove. Back on song with front-running win in refitted cheekpieces last month; 5lb higher here. |
|||
4th (4)  (9/1 -13%)Iron D'ex |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Iron D'ex 9/1, Scored on his chasing bow at Ludlow in October and dispelled a lesser effort in the mud refitted with cheekpieces when fourth in 8-runner handicap chase here (2m) 2 weeks ago. Step back up in trip in his favour here and he's not out of things. Game winner on seasonal/chase debut in October but far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
|||
5th (6)  (18/1 -13%)Get Cracking |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Get Cracking 18/1, Successful in points but little impact in bumper/trio of maiden hurdles so far this year. Still switch to handicaps over larger obstacles could help now and interesting if the market spoke in his favour. Point winner; safely held in three maiden/novice hurdles; may fare better now chasing. |
|||
6th (2)  (17/2 +53%)Mourzouk |
17/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mourzouk 17/2, Has fallen 15 lb below last winning mark but it's been well over 2 years since that latest success and it's been more a case of miss than hit in 6 outings over hurdles this year. Switch to larger obstacles needs to have positive effect now. Regressive over hurdles but still of interest off career-low mark on chasing debut. |
|||
7th (12)  (11/2 +86%)Pescatorius |
11/2(+86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Pescatorius 11/2, Getaway gelding who has yet to better poor form over hurdles, including in 2 handicaps since the tongue tie went on this winter. Big step forward required if he's to feature now sent chasing. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Unplaced all seven hurdle starts; cheekpieces added for chasing debut; improvement needed. |
|||
8th (10)  (40/1 -60%)Fashion's Model |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Fashion's Model 40/1, 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 16 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Ended last season with a good win but looked out of sorts on both appearances this autun. |
|||
9th (11)  (22/1 +33%)Outback Frontiers |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Outback Frontiers 22/1, Twice a winner over hurdles, latterly at Stratford (18.7f) in July. However, finished well held on first start in this sphere when fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f) 4 weeks ago (reportedly bled). Drop back in trip likely in his favour. Hurdle winner this summer; had excuse when well beaten on chase debut but is inconsistent. |
|||
10th (7)  (6/1 -50%)Supasunrise |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Supasunrise 6/1, Returned from 5 months off/wind surgery with a good second at Southwell in October and similar form despite a mixed round of jumping when third of 10 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f) 3 weeks ago. Can give another good account for all he's yet to defy a mark this high. Back from break with three good runs this autumn, and is suited by this C&D; respected. |
|||
11th (1)  (80/1 -400%)Omaha Wish |
80/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Omaha Wish 80/1, Opened her account over fences at Fakenham (16.3f) in June. Fell next time and disappointing both completed starts since, including (equipped with tongue strap) on debut for new yard when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Chase winner for Dan Skelton in June but safely held on last month's stable debut. |
|||
12th (5)  (33/1 -65%)Lightonthewing |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lightonthewing 33/1, Resumed with success at Newton Abbot but pulled up in race won by re-opposing Boys of Wexford at Fontwell (21.6f, good) 24 days ago. Fact that was his first start for 6 months offers some mitigation but he does need to take a big step forward. Five-time chase winner; jumping issues on last two outings; still on fairly tough mark. |
|||
|RR| (13)  (50/1 +24%)Robeam |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Robeam 50/1, Out of sorts for some time now over hurdles/on Flat, merely passing beaten rivals when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 66/1) 30 days ago, Far from an obvious one now sent chasing from out of the weights. Disappointing on the Flat lately and this chasing debut is his 82nd career start; 3b wrong. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Despite jumping out to his right on more than one occasion, Boys Of Wexford regained the winning thread at Fontwell last month. A return to this right-handed track is likely to suit, but a 5lb higher mark does demand more from the seven-year-old. With that in mind, it could be worth chancing IRON D'EX, who wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth over an inadequate 2m here a fortnight ago. Jac Jumper and Mister Upton are also noted.
BOYS OF WEXFORD showed the benefit of his reappearance run when running out a comfortable winner at Fontwell 24 days ago and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold showing. Jac Jumper back down in trip/equipped with first-time cheekpieces and Supasunrise are others to consider, as is Iron d'Ex back at this longer trip.
A speculative option to consider is MOURZOUK, who makes his chasing debut from a tempting mark. Supasunrise is second choice.

1st (2)  (7/2 -17%)Sayva |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sayva 7/2, Confirmed promise of hurdling debut when comfortably taking 8-runner novice at Newcastle (16.2f, good) 41 days ago. Likely more to come yet and is one for shortlist. Penalised for winning a moderate maiden at Newcastle so likely to need more here. |
|||
2nd (1)  (7/1 -100%)Pigeon House |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pigeon House 7/1, Below par when last seen at Listowel in September but had won twice over hurdles (at up to 18.2f) previously and sets the standard on that form. Switches to new yard and holds strong claims. Quite exposed now and has the penalties, but has joined another respected yard. |
|||
3rd (10)  (6/4 +25%)I've Madeupmymind |
6/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) I've Madeupmymind 6/4, Matched best form, back from 7 months off, when third of 11 in bumper at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Bred for longer trips and is worth a second look in the market on hurdles bow. Seems consistent having run well in all her bumpers, two of them warm races at top tracks. |
|||
4th (8)  (13/2 +41%)The Long Point |
13/2(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Long Point 13/2, Won sole start in bumpers at Huntingdon in May and looked in need of outing when fourth of 7 in novice at Warwick (19f, good) on hurdles bow 36 days ago. Should have more to offer. Bumper winner who could have needed the run when beaten 14l on hurdling debut. |
|||
5th (4)  (33/1 -32%)Fortunate Fella |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fortunate Fella 33/1, Placed all 3 starts in Irish points but made little impact in Newton Abbot bumper on NH debut in October. In good hands but bit to prove now sent hurdling. Tailed off in a Newton Abbot bumper and testing ground shouldn't have been an issue. |
|||
6th (9)  (66/1 -100%)Wild Nephin |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wild Nephin 66/1, Off the mark at seventh attempt between the flags in Ireland and offered something to work on when third of 6 in novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, good to soft, 28/1) on NH debut 14 days ago. This looks more competitive but he should appreciate this stiffer test of stamina. Only 1-7 in points; 28-1 and beaten about 20l in a 2m novice hurdle here a fortnight ago. |
|||
7th (7)  (20/1 +0%)The Grey Man |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Grey Man 20/1, Made the frame in a couple of starts in this sphere (both 15.8f) last term and will be suited by this tonger trip. Others make more appeal for win purposes, however. No further improvement when third at Uttoxeter but there are races in him. |
|||
8th (5)  (9/2 +36%)Ocean Walz |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ocean Walz 9/2, Finished runner-up all 3 starts in bumpers, latest when second of 12 at Worcester (16f, heavy, 7/2) 56 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Warrants respect on first start over timber. Second in three bumpers, last time at Worcester beaten by an unexposed Skelton runner. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (250/1 -150%)Beragon |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beragon 250/1, Well held in Chepstow bumper on NH debut 35 days ago and is best watched on switch to hurdling. 33-1 when failing to show much promise for the immediate future in a Chepstow bumper. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having landed a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe off a mark of 126 when under the tutelage of Jessica Harrington in Ireland, stable debutant PIGEON HOUSE could prove classy enough to concede weight to this afternoon's rivals. Jennie Candlish's charge should put his experience to good use reverting to novice company and a third career victory could be in the offing. Fellow penalised winner Sayva receives 5lb from the selection and is feared most after his comfortable victory at Newcastle 41 days ago. Hurdles debutant Ocean Walz is the pick of the remainder.
PIGEON HOUSE has already bagged 2 victories over hurdles in Ireland and has joined a yard amongst the winners. He gets the nod. Likely improvers Sayva and The Long Point are feared most.
This may go to the only female runner in I'VE MADEUPMYMIND, who ran well in all her bumpers (two at top tracks).

1st (1)  (10/11 +55%)Secret Des Dieux |
10/11(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Secret Des Dieux 10/11, Fair form in bumpers and left hurdles bow well behind 6 months on when winning 6-runner novice hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to soft) 22 days ago, overcoming mistakes. Return to this trip is a slight concern but this is a weak race. Again raced keenly but was comfortably up to the job in a 2m maiden at Fakenham. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 +13%)Guchen |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Guchen 7/2, Cima De Triomphe gelding. Dam, maiden on Flat in France, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (winner around 2m) Sil Ver Klass. 4/1, fifth of 7 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Beaten under 5l in a soft-ground bumper at Southwell but was only fifth of the seven. |
|||
3rd (3)  (100/1 -100%)Head Over Hinds |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Head Over Hinds 100/1, Down the field in bumpers and pulled up in selling hurdle for Gary Moore. Pulled up in a seller on his final run for Gary Moore and that was in January; no appeal. |
|||
4th (8)  (10/3 +26%)Tongaknoxie |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tongaknoxie 10/3, Casamento gelding. Half-brother to a point bumper winner. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (winner up to 23f) Square Mile. 10/1, seventh of 13 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good) on NH debut 19 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Seventh of 13 in a Chepstow bumper (good to soft), trailing the winner by 11l. |
|||
5th (7)  (25/1 -25%)The Magus |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Magus 25/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Yeats gelding. Closely related to bumper winner Mrs Jordan, stayed 23f,. Dam, winning pointer, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 25f) Just For Men. 20,000euros 3yo; closely related to bumper winner Mrs Jordan. |
|||
6th (5)  (12/1 +25%)Montana Golden |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Montana Golden 12/1, Fair form in bumpers in the summer, second on debut at Worcester before shaping better than bare result at Market Rasen. However, showed little on hurdles bow at Kempton on return. Poor hurdling debut at Kempton but initial bumper promise by no means forgotten. |
|||
7th (4)  (28/1 +58%)Jaunty Galaxy |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jaunty Galaxy 28/1, Well held in bumper/2 starts over hurdles. No worthwhile form in a bumper and two hurdles (2m6f/2m3f). |
|||
8th (10)  (125/1 -213%)The Dancing Lass |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Dancing Lass 125/1, Norse Dancer filly. Half-sister to 2¼m French hurdle winner Johnnysaid and modest 3m chase winner Safe Destination. Dam winning pointer. Last of 6 in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, heavy, 12/1) on NH debut 43 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Trailed home a distant last at Bangor when 12-1 for a soft-ground bumper. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (20/1 -43%)Olderfleet |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Olderfleet 20/1, Geordieland gelding out of unraced dam out of sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Hell's Bay, from family of Champion Chase winners Viking Flagship and Flagship Uberalles. Fifth of 8 in bumper (11/2) at this course on debut 14 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Never got involved when beaten 21l in a bumper here for which he was only 11-2. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (50/1 -25%)Jackie Can |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jackie Can 50/1, Showed some promise on the first of 2 starts in bumpers but well held both starts over hurdles last month. Hasn't progressed at all from finishing second on bumper debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having justified heavy support in the market when opening his account over 2m at Fakenham last month, SECRET DES DIEUX looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to follow up. James Owen's charge ticks plenty of the right boxes and the son of Zarak boasts enough stamina in his pedigree to see out today's extended 2m3f distance. Hurdles debutant Guchen displayed enough ability on his fifth-placed bumper bow at Southwell to suggest that he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of fellow timber newcomer Tongaknoxie.
SECRET DES DIEUX looked a tricky customer when scoring at Fakenham 3 weeks ago but has been found a weak race under a penalty. Guchen and Olderfleet showed a bit in bumpers so are feared most.
The weaker of the two divisions for sure and one that presents a good opportunity for SECRET DES DIEUX to follow up his Fakenham win.

1st (7)  (11/2 +66%)Gustoso |
11/2(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gustoso 11/2, Much improved when opening his account in first-time cheekpieces at Huntingdon in April. Backed it up with a good third at Perth later that month but low-key return to action this autumn. Now tackles a new trip. Current campaign yet to ignite but last season's win/place form brings him into this. |
|||
2nd (9)  (8/1 -7%)Weaver's Answer |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Weaver's Answer 8/1, Improved with cheekpieces added when gaining second hurdle success at Plumpton in February and may have found the race coming too soon at Ayr under a penalty. May have needed the run on last month's return to action. Won a bit too well at Plumpton in February (3m1f, soft) as he's still 10lb higher. |
|||
3rd (8)  (7/1 -8%)Pipers Cross |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pipers Cross 7/1, Dual winner around 3m in the spring for Robbie Llewellyn. Stuck to her task pretty well when fifth starting out for new yard at Bangor in October (23.2f) and this step up in trip promises to suit. Big player with cheekpieces back on. Consistent for previous yard; just an okay debut for this one; cheekpieces return. |
|||
4th (3)  (3/1 -33%)Grove Road |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grove Road 3/1, 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 is clearly back on the up for his excellent yard. One to beat from revised mark. 2-2 in the visor; 7lb higher than last time but highly likely to be involved once more. |
|||
5th (2)  (6/1 +50%)Gris Majeur |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gris Majeur 6/1, Point/bumper winner who capitalised on falling mark when registering a third career success over hurdles at Hereford (21.7f) in October. Not in same form when fourth at Warwick but chase debut wasn't devoid of promise at Chepstow. Upped markedly in trip returned to timber. 2m too sharp last time but there has to be a chance that 3m1f will be too far. |
|||
6th (1)  (125/1 -150%)Imperial Storm |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Imperial Storm 125/1, Bumper/ hurdles 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 in a Chepstow handicap hurdle for new yard last month. Bumper/hurdle winner for Fergal O'Brien but current wellbeing looks a major issue. |
|||
|F| (5)  (12/1 -20%)Spitalfield |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Spitalfield 12/1, Opened his account in good style in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, good) in May. Has never been a fluent jumper and he came unstuck over the fixed-brush obstacles when seventh of 9 a fortnight later. Comfortable winner in May but flopped the next month and not the easiest to predict. |
|||
|U| (11)  (7/2 +71%)Newtonian |
7/2(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Newtonian 7/2, Got off the mark at Warwick in May and nothing wrong with a brace of in-frame efforts upon return in October. 2 lb out of the weights but he should still give his running. Only 1-17 over hurdles but respectable in defeat the last twice and has each-way claims. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (11/1 -22%)Mikimoto |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mikimoto 11/1, Successful only start in bumpers for Henry Daly. Promise over hurdles for new yard, runner-up first 2 starts and possibly needed the run after 10 months off when fourth in a Stratford maiden (22f) in October. Pitched in quite deep on handicap bow and offered little. Up in trip with cheekpieces on. Lightly raced bumper winner; this is more realistic than Cheltenham last time. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (50/1 -150%)Drop Flight |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Drop Flight 50/1, Landed 5-runner hunter at Exeter in March prior to falling early in the Foxhunters' Chase at Aintree the following month. Easily best effort for this yard when a keeping-on third over 20f at Carlisle in October but he was disappointing up in trip at Warwick latest. Cheekpieces applied. Disappointing that he didn't run better on the return to a staying trip at Warwick. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The fitting of a visor enabled Grove Road to land victories at Newton Abbot and Huntingdon on his last two appearances and another bold bid is forecast. However, a 7lb higher mark for his latest triumph could be enough to thwart the eight-year-old's hat-trick bid and WEAVER'S ANSWER may offer more value. Tim Vaughan's charge is unexposed as a stayer and last month's reappearance sixth at Lingfield should have blown away any cobwebs. Pipers Cross has the form to feature as well.
A visor has really perked GROVE ROAD up and given he was value for extra at Huntingdon last time, the hat-trick may well be on the cards. Pipers Cross made a sound start for her new yard at Bangor and she's a threat up in trip with cheekpieces back on, while Groom de Cotte is likely to give it another good shot.
In quite an open handicap a chance is taken that GUSTOSO can rediscover some of the form that served him well last season.

1st (3)  (4/1 +20%)Beat Box |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beat Box 4/1, Improved out of all recognition for Dan Skelton, completing a 4-timer in 2m handicap chases in August/September. The winning run came to a halt when only fourth of 5 at Hexham in October but no surprise were he to resume his progression back from a short break. Could be on a tough mark now but remains in form. |
|||
2nd (6)  (3/1 -20%)Torneo |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Torneo 3/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France who won a Wetherby juvenile hurdle last winter. Switched to fences this season, shaping well when second in 2m Wincanton handicap 3 weeks ago. Leading claims with further progress likely. Flat background but won over hurdles and has taken well to fences, going close last time. |

3rd (4)  (9/1 -157%)Lime Drop |
9/1(-157%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lime Drop 9/1, Filled the runner-up spot 5 times over fences before deservedly getting off the mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month. Should remain competitive up 5 lb. Off the mark over fences at Uttoxeter where good value for narrow winning margin. |
|||
4th (1)  (4/1 +27%)Tapley |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tapley 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler, winning a Plumpton handicap in October. Ran below that level switched to fences at Newbury 12 days ago but the experience should have done him some good. Has the class to be competitive should he find some fluency on second chase start. |
|||
5th (2)  (11/4 +39%)Finest View |
11/4(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Finest View 11/4, Fairly useful hurdler who was runner 4 times in handicaps over the summer. Not given an unduly hard time once the leaders had got away when well-held third on 20.5f Kempton chase debut last month. Open to progress. Five hurdle wins; jumped well on chase debut when perhaps stretched by 2m4f. |
|||
6th (5)  (8/1 +60%)Ascension Day |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ascension Day 8/1, Runner-up 3 times on the bounce over hurdles in the first half of this year. Might have needed the outing when below par back from 7 weeks off at Southwell last time. Makes chase debut. Threatened over hurdles; now makes chase debut and didn't show much in points. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Finest View was well beaten into third on her chasing debut at Kempton last month, but she could get closer off a 2lb lower rating. However, it may pay to side with LIME DROP, who was victorious by over a length at Uttoxeter last time and is only 5lb higher for that triumph. Henry Daly's eight-year-old is a previous course winner and can complete a double. Beat Box is another to note if he can bounce back from his underwhelming fourth at Hexham last time.
TORNEO was an encouraging second at Wincanton last time and is taken to go one better now. Beat Box has been freshened up since finishing fourth at Hexham in early October and can resume his progression and provide the chief threat to Jamie Snowden's charge.
Alan King's FINEST VIEW looked a fairly safe conveyance on her chase debut and gets the vote on this return to her best distance.

1st (5)  (14/1 +30%)Jackeline |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jackeline 14/1, Took a small step back in right direction when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good, 14/1) 29 days ago. Still looking for first success, though, and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Shown ability on soft; probably needs a shade more than latest 5th over 2m at Lingfield. |
|||
2nd (7)  (11/4 +17%)Lady Caro |
11/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lady Caro 11/4, Bounced back to something like her best form when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and ought to go well again. Not yet off the mark but should be able to find something off current mark; thereabouts. |
|||
3rd (3)  (22/1 -214%)A Little Something |
22/1(-214%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) A Little Something 22/1, Found a little improvement when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 29 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping and is worth monitoring in the market. Minor form so far but making quiet progress over hurdles; can do better now handicapping. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/1 0%)It's Easy |
7/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) It's Easy 7/1, Fairly useful maiden chaser in France but just respectable efforts at best for Clive Boultbee-Brooks. Down in the weights as a result and sound start for this yard when second at Stratford (16.3f) in October. Couldn't really build on that at Ffos Las latest but can't be ruled out here. Ran well off reduced mark for new yard in October; non-stayer at 2m6f since. |
|||
5th (6)  (11/8 +0%)Culligran |
11/8(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Culligran 11/8, Found improvement when getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good to soft) 14 days ago, comfortably. 7 lb higher now but further progress may be on the cards. Had a C&D race on good to soft in safe keeping from some way out on latest; up 7lb. |
|||
6th (2)  (4/1 +60%)Villainess |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Villainess 4/1, Came good in a 2m Stratford maiden in April but has been unable to make a significant impact in handicaps since. Form claims before below best in a hood of late; may do better back at 2m with no headgear. |
|||
7th (4)  (50/1 -150%)Granny B |
50/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Granny B 50/1, Fair winner on the Flat and while she has done the majority of her racing over sprint distances, stamina didn't appear to be an issue when sixth in a Ludlow novice (15.8f) last month. Backed that up when third at Huntingdon since but more required now handicapping. 5f winner on Flat; on the heels of A Little Something last month; stamina queried on soft. |
|||
8th (8)  (40/1 -21%)Dorcas Road |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dorcas Road 40/1, Yet to trouble the judge after 6 attempts and disapponted on yard debut at Worcester 56 days ago. Hood on first time, tongue strap back on. Had wind operation. Glimmer of ability but well adrift and pulled up for new yard in October; had wind op. |
|||
9th (9)  (200/1 -203%)Charlotte Square |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Charlotte Square 200/1, Down the field in a handful of starts on the Flat for Andrew Balding and has offered little since sent hurdling for current yard, including on handicap debut here in October. 7 lb out of the weights. Best watched. Minor form so far, most recently on AW before pulled up back hurdling; 7lb wrong. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CULLIGRAN returned from a break to bolt up over track and trip last month and she was given a 7lb rise for that victory. John O'Shea's five-year-old has lots in her favour again and will prove very difficult to beat. Lady Caro was beaten 12 lengths into second in this grade at Fontwell last time and should go well off 1lb higher, while A Little Something is another to keep an eye on.
Recent C&D winner CULLIGRAN is going the right way and makes fair appeal in her follow-up bid. The Emma Lavelle duo Lady Caro and A Little Something rate the principal dangers.
Most of these have something to prove at present but CULLIGRAN (nap) is suited by a bare 2m and can follow up her recent C&D win.

Sister to 2 winners, including unreliable but fairly useful hurdler/chaser Perfect Pirate, stays 4m. Likely to need further.

Promising third on debut at Worcester in July but well held 4 months on in listed contest at Cheltenham. Likely to need more time. Promising debut and was 40-1 when trailed home last in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
JUST GOLDEN changed hands for 120,000 euros in June last year and the son of Flemensfirth is related to plenty of winners. With Dan Skelton's string in fine order at present, he gets the vote to make a winning debut. Doctor On Call is a half-brother to Martator and it would be no surprise to see him get involved on his first start, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Of the remainder, Getaway Sam makes the most appeal.
This looks set to go to a newcomer, with DOCTOR ON CALL, Just Golden and Getaway Sam the three most appealing ones before betting clues.
The market should be revealing but as things stand preference is for the Skelton newcomer JUST GOLDEN, who cost 120,000euros.

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.
