7
7/1(+13%)

2
2/1(+67%)
(5) Eaton Collina 2/1, Modest in bumpers and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when second at Stratford on return, again doing good late work. Open to improvement, particularly now tackling further.

8
5th (8) (4/1 +20%) One For You
4
4/1(+20%)
(8) One For You 4/1, Yeats gelding. Closely related to smart hurdler/high-class chaser Monalee, and showed more than previously when fourth in novice hurdle at Doncaster 15 days ago, finishing with running left.
7
6th (7) (6.5/1 -8%) Lord Apparelli
6.5
6.5/1(-8%)
(7) Lord Apparelli 6.5/1, Showed plenty in a brace of bumpers last season and left hurdles debut well behind when third at Hereford. More needed again, though.

33
33/1(-32%)
(3) Cheng Gong 33/1, Multiple winner on Flat and showed an aptitude for this game when fifth on hurdles debut at Ffos Las (15.8f). Failed to build on that next time. however.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Innisfree Lad 2/1, Revitalised for Tom Symonds (and David Dennis) this term, scoring twice over hurdles before completing a hat-trick in handicap chase at Stratford. Only third last time but could get back on the up.
3
2nd (3) (12/1 +0%) Billy Bronco
12
12/1(+0%)
(3) Billy Bronco 12/1, Patchy record for Evan Williams and failed to beat a rival on debut for new yard at Warwick in November. Needs blinkers to perk him up.
1
3rd (1) (5/1 -11%) Sandy Boy
5
5/1(-11%)
(1) Sandy Boy 5/1, Irresolute hurdler but took surprisingly well to chasing when second in a handicap at Taunton 16 days ago, so definite claims if he can build on that, which isn't assured.
7
4th (7) (5.5/1 -10%) Mr Palmtree
5.5
5.5/1(-10%)
(7) Mr Palmtree 5.5/1, Improved model over fences this season, landing handicaps at Huntingdon and over C&D. Too much to do when fourth at Ludlow 19 days ago, so still very much of interest.
4
|PU| (4) (3.6/1 -3%) Jabulani
3.6
3.6/1(-3%)
(4) Jabulani 3.6/1, Fair hurdler for Nigel Twiston-Davies and proved he retains plenty of ability when third in a handicap chase on debut for in-form stable at Southwell last month. Claims if he can build on that.
8
|PU| (8) (4.5/1 +10%) Brigadier Bob
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(8) Brigadier Bob 4.5/1, Dual winner last season, including over C&D and, while not seen for a year, he's likely to be tuned up and has been dropped 3 lb despite a respectable third when last seen. Not ruled out.
6
|PU| (6) (100/1 -150%) Perform
100
100/1(-150%)
(6) Perform 100/1, Useful hurdler/chaser at his best for Philip Hobbs but obviously had his problems and yet to offer any encouragement for current stable.

1.88
1.88/1(+16%)
(4) Kapga De Lily 1.88/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who arrives on a hat-trick after ready handicap victories at Bangor and Chepstow (by 8 lengths from Ballybough Nora). Hit with 9 lb rise but holds solid claims once more.
3
2nd (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Ballybough Nora
4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(3) Ballybough Nora 4.5/1, Yet to score over fences but not disgraced all three starts this season, runner-up to Kapga De Lily in 3m Chepstow handicap last time. One for the shortlist.
1
3rd (1) (8/1 -23%) No No Juliet
8
8/1(-23%)
(1) No No Juliet 8/1, Opened chase account at Southwell last term for Oliver Sherwood and returned with encouraging fourth in 3m handicap chase at Chepstow on yard debut. In the mix.
2
4th (2) (33/1 -65%) Silent Steps
33
33/1(-65%)
(2) Silent Steps 33/1, Not the most straightforward but won 3 times last season. Ran poorly after 8 months off when fifth of 6 at Chepstow on return but could easily bounce back here.
8
5th (8) (12/1 -85%) Miss Zip
12
12/1(-85%)
(8) Miss Zip 12/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who completed hat-trick last term. Shaped as if needing both runs this term, tenderly handled when last of 6 at Chepstow 22 days ago. Headgear goes back on now so worth considering.
10
6th (10) (7/1 +30%) Arqalina
7
7/1(+30%)
(10) Arqalina 7/1, Failed to build on reappearance Uttoxeter fifth when below-form third of 10 in 3m handicap chase (3/1) at Ffos Las 13 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for now with bit to find.

22
22/1(+12%)
(7) Prettylittlething 22/1, In decent form until below-par fourth of 7 in 23f handicap chase at Newcastle last month. Needs to bounce back.
6
|PU| (6) (5.5/1 +21%) Liffeydale Dreamer
5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(6) Liffeydale Dreamer 5.5/1, Has been brought along steadily this term and caught the eye under a patient ride when third of 7 in 23f handicap chase at Newcastle 29 days ago. Figures on a good mark so most interesting contender.
5
|PU| (5) (16/1 -113%) Still Believing
16
16/1(-113%)
(5) Still Believing 16/1, Ended long losing run with C&D handicap chase win by 7½l from Prettylittlething in October. 5 lb rise demands more but cheekpieces go back on so not taken lightly for in-form yard.
9
|PU| (9) (33/1 -65%) Tb Broke Her
33
33/1(-65%)
(9) Tb Broke Her 33/1, C&D winner who was pulled up in 23f handicap chase (11/1) at Newcastle last time, though still in touch when badly hampered 5 out. No surprise to see her bounce back now.

1.5
1.5/1(-9%)
(1) Le Patriote 1.5/1, Got off the mark over fences on his reappearance at Market Rasen in October (both rivals underperformed). Found Grade 2 beyond him at Cheltenham but has to command serious respect back down in class.
3
2nd (3) (1/1 +39%) Elixir De Nutz
1
1/1(+39%)
(3) Elixir De Nutz 1/1, Fluent jumper who signed off novice season with Grade 1 Tolworth success. Came up well short in a brace of Grade 1s last term and has undergone wind surgery ahead of reappearance/chase debut.

3rd (5) (250/1 -150%) Flight To Nowhere
250
250/1(-150%)
(5) Flight To Nowhere 250/1, Established as a poor handicap hurdler. Chase debut.
2
4th (2) (40/1 +39%) Cape Robin
40
40/1(+39%)
(2) Cape Robin 40/1, Successful between the flags at the third time of asking last year but needs to level achieved in a brace of hurdles outings in October well behind.
4
|F| (4) (5/1 -82%) Fast Buck
5
5/1(-82%)
(4) Fast Buck 5/1, Maiden/listed novice winner during the middle part of 2019. Finishing effort lacking to end that year and has had a breathing operation switched to Paul Nicholls. Chase debut.

1st (4) (8/1 -33%) Dans Le Vent
8
8/1(-33%)
(4) Dans Le Vent 8/1, Useful hurdler for Jamie Snowden and confirmed himself at least as good a chaser when second in a handicap here (20.9f) 13 months ago. Absent since though, so well-being has to be taken on trust.
2
2nd (2) (2.5/1 +38%) No Comment
2.5
2.5/1(+38%)
(2) No Comment 2.5/1, His jumping became an issue over fences in second half of last term, but he ran well back hurdling under a considerate ride at Market Rasen (23.1f) 23 days ago and looks on a good mark. Tongue tied.
7
3rd (7) (7.5/1 +46%) Endlessly
7.5
7.5/1(+46%)
(7) Endlessly 7.5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who was progressive over hurdles last winter, winning 2 novices. Badly hampered 2 out on Cheltenham handicap bow/return but pulled up at Haydock last time.
6
4th (6) (6/1 +50%) Chambard
6
6/1(+50%)
(6) Chambard 6/1, Runner-up 3 times over fences off higher marks than this last season. However, dropped away tamely (eventually pulled up) on return at Carlisle and probably worth taking on back in this sphere.
5
5th (5) (11/1 -57%) Thinking
11
11/1(-57%)
(5) Thinking 11/1, Fairly useful form when winning juvenile hurdle at Vichy in 2018, but he didn't offer much returning for new yard after 27 months off when pulled up in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham recently.
1
6th (1) (2.25/1 -13%) Fugitives Drift
2.25
2.25/1(-13%)
(1) Fugitives Drift 2.25/1, Made it 3 wins in 4 starts when seeing off 7 rivals on his handicap debut over C&D in October. Possibly failed to stay 3m at Newbury and retains potential now back down in trip.
3
7th (3) (16/1 -220%) Deniliquin
16
16/1(-220%)
(3) Deniliquin 16/1, Useful-looking gelding who won his sole start over hurdles in France in 2018. Failed to progress on debut for Paul Nicholls later that year and off since but he remains with potential (had wind op).

1st (7) (3.5/1 +7%) Ratfacemcdougall
3.5
3.5/1(+7%)
(7) Ratfacemcdougall 3.5/1, Back on-song with visor enlisted this autumn, runner-up here (21f) before scoring at Musselburgh (3m). Does need to shrug off a lesser run last time, though.
10
2nd (10) (3.5/1 +46%) Black Centaur
3.5
3.5/1(+46%)
(10) Black Centaur 3.5/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points but his Rules efforts to date have been a little underwhelming, including well held in handicap hurdle on reappearance/yard debut. Tongue tie off.
9
3rd (9) (3.5/1 +22%) Royal Claret
3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(9) Royal Claret 3.5/1, Not one for maximum faith (ran poorly at Chepstow last time) but the fact she's won both previous outings over this C&D has to bring her into the reckoning.
8
4th (8) (5.5/1 -38%) Lugg River
5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(8) Lugg River 5.5/1, Fair in bumpers. No better than modest form over hurdles but her stable is enjoying a good season and she has the potential for improvement now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces.
1
5th (1) (16/1 +0%) Three Ways
16
16/1(+0%)
(1) Three Ways 16/1, Useful hurdler/chaser in his pomp, but offered little back from a lengthy absence at Aintree last month.
5
6th (5) (22/1 +0%) Adimelo
22
22/1(+0%)
(5) Adimelo 22/1, Mark has edged down (rated in mid-120s a year ago) and showed better signs when third of 7 at Exeter in October. Pulled up back there since, though.
4
7th (4) (33/1 +0%) Three Colours Red
33
33/1(+0%)
(4) Three Colours Red 33/1, Didn't take to fences in summer 2019 and pulled up back hurdling after an absence at Chepstow in October. Headgear refitted. Needs to have come on a good deal for the run.
3
|RR| (3) (4/1 +38%) Nifty At Fifty
4
4/1(+38%)
(3) Nifty At Fifty 4/1, Returned after 8 months off with good third of 15 in 3m handicap at Chepstow but did underline his quirky side when not in the same form at Uttoxeter since. Player if in the mood, though.

0.91/1(+60%)
(3) Super Six 0.91/1, £26,000 3-y-o, Montmartre gelding. Dam, point winner, half-sister to ungenuine but smart bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Secret Ploy. Highly respected on debut.
1
2nd (1) (8.5/1 -183%) Master Malcolm
8.5
8.5/1(-183%)
(1) Master Malcolm 8.5/1, Mastercraftsman gelding who had a wind op prior to his debut and showed some ability when third of 5 in bumper at Aintree (17f, soft) 35 days ago. Should improve.
2
3rd (2) (1.75/1 +13%) Roger Rarebit
1.75
1.75/1(+13%)

12
12/1(-118%)
(4) Elusive Polly 12/1, Kalanisi filly who shaped as if needing further when (7/2) eighth of 12 in bumper at Exeter (13.2f, good) on NH debut 53 days ago. Up in trip and not without hope.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
