---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (7/4 +22%) Better Be Definite |
7/4(+22%) | (3) Better Be Definite 7/4, Much improved away from testing ground when off the mark in 15-runner Ayr handicap (24.3f) in March and progressed further when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago, beaten only by one who got first run. High on the shortlist again. Progressing nicely; Ayr winner (3m); bettered that in defeat over C&D latest; 5lb higher.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (9/1 +44%) Dequall |
9/1(+44%) | (7) Dequall 9/1, It's been a while since he last hit the target and while his comeback effort following a lengthy layoff at Kelso in October was fairly encouraging, it's hard to get excited about what he's shown subsequently. No win since March 2021 (Kelso, 3m2f); masses to find with Better Be Definite from Ayr.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 -43%) Kiss My Face |
5/1(-43%) | (2) Kiss My Face 5/1, Flat/hurdles winner who ran up to his best on the level when runner-up at Wolverhampton (16.5f) 2 starts back and not disgraced when sixth of 11 over 20f here 10 days ago. Return to further won't inconvenience him and respected from easing mark. Outpaced over 2m4f here latest; 2lb lower; return to further could assist.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (7/1 -40%) Didnt Ask |
7/1(-40%) | (1) Didnt Ask 7/1, Won the first of his 2 starts in points. Lightly raced over hurdles but showed more than previously when third on qualifying run in a C&D maiden 10 days ago. Tongue tie worn then retained for handicap debut and he's one to consider. Tongue-tie on when placed over C&D (maiden, good) recently; handicap debut; noteworthy.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 -40%) Reagrove Lord |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Reagrove Lord 14/1, Placed in points in Ireland and not disgraced on each of his first 2 starts in handicaps in this sphere equipped with a tongue strap. Proved to be a disappointment when last of 5 in a C&D handicap in March but given a break since and the assessor is relinquishing his grip. Six-race rules maiden; last of five to stablemate of Better Be Definite over C&D latest.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (11/2 +45%) Buto |
11/2(+45%) | (9) Buto 11/2, Belatedly off the mark when landing this race 12 months ago and ran well from revised mark next 2 starts back here. Lightly raced since and he weakened out of things pretty quickly when last seen at Sedgefield (19.8f) in February. Return to better ground following a break could help. 1-32 overall; won this last year from a similar mark; returning from a three-month absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (16/1 +0%) Just Call Me Al |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Just Call Me Al 16/1, Veteran who won 3 times in 2021/22 season. Drawn blank since but signs he can do something from his reduced mark when second over 3m at Musselburgh in December. However, been disappointing in 2 subsequent outings. Veteran; backwards since Musselburgh second (3m) in December; better to look elsewhere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (20/1 -100%) Court Case |
20/1(-100%) | (8) Court Case 20/1, Minor promise in bumpers but has offered little in handful of novice/maiden hurdles in recent months. Marked improvement required to figure on handicap debut. Pulled up in three of four hurdle starts; set for handicap debut on much better ground.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (22/1 -10%) Bolt Man |
22/1(-10%) | (5) Bolt Man 22/1, Maiden who offered little back from 14 months off when eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good) 13 days ago. Needs to step up considerably on that if he's to figure here. Eight-race maiden; down the field on recent Kelso return (2m5f); makes little appeal.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (40/1 -21%) Shoughall's Boy |
40/1(-21%) | (10) Shoughall's Boy 40/1, Dual winner here (20f) in 2021 but has largely struggled since, beaten some way out when sixth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (19.8f) in April. Passed over from out of the weights. Both wins here at Hexham (2m4f) in late 2021; mostly poor since; an unlikely candidate.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although he was unable to complete a double when a close-up second over C&D earlier this month, BETTER BE DEFINITE lost little in defeat in that 16-runner affair. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks workable for Nick Alexander's gelding and compensation could await. The biggest threat may emerge from handicap debutant Didnt Ask, who posted a solid third over track and trip in a maiden hurdle recently, while Reagrove Lord should enjoy the return to a sounder surface.
BETTER BE DEFINITE showed improved form when opening his account at Ayr in March and took another step forward when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago, beaten only by one who got first run. Still lightly raced, he looks to hold sound claims again and earns the vote. Kiss My Face is still fairly lightly raced at this sort of trip and he's considered, with last year's winner Buto and Didn't Ask in the mix too.
The shortlist is limited to Kiss My Face, Didnt Ask and BETTER BE DEFINITE. The selection went close in defeat over C&D latest.

1st (3) (5/2 +38%) Rumble B |
5/2(+38%) | (3) Rumble B 5/2, C&D winner in March and in good form since, third of 16 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 17 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. C&D winner (from 4lb lower) in March; closely aligned with Dillarchie; claimer can assist.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/1 -56%) Iturgeon Du Breuil |
7/1(-56%) | (5) Iturgeon Du Breuil 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good third of 15 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Ayr (24.3f, good) 73 days ago. Worth considering with headgear again sported. Better in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (3m, third; handicap debut) latest; 1lb higher.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/1 -40%) Balkotic |
7/1(-40%) | (2) Balkotic 7/1, C&D winner. Only fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (25.3f, soft) 109 days ago but the sort to bounce back. Won on only other visit to Hexham; back from break; the better ground could suit; chance.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/2 -67%) Dillarchie |
15/2(-67%) | (1) Dillarchie 15/2, Scored at Sedgefield in February and posted a good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle over C&D (soft) 17 days ago, well positioned. In the mix. Weakened into fourth (beaten about 8l) over C&D latest; fraction too high in the weights?. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (25/1 +0%) Teddy Mac |
25/1(+0%) | (9) Teddy Mac 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who came in only fifth of 6 in novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, good) 73 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut with lots to find. Five-race maiden; no worthwhile form; up in trip (dam a 3m winner) for handicap debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (5/2 +55%) Greenhill Gardens |
5/2(+55%) | (4) Greenhill Gardens 5/2, Still a maiden and below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy) 38 days ago. Tongue strap goes on 1st time with more needed. In the process of running well at Newcastle (race voided) in March; hurdling issues since.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (20/1 -67%) Misscarlett |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Misscarlett 20/1, It's now 13 runs since last win in 2021 and only sixth of 8 in Flat handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 79 days ago. Others appeal more back over hurdles. No win since Nov 2021; well beaten on last start over hurdles at Musselburgh in December.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (28/1 +15%) Rouse |
28/1(+15%) | (6) Rouse 28/1, Only poor form in bumpers and has made little impact both over hurdles so far. Needs to raise his game considerably on just his second venture into handicap company. Tailed off on handicap debut at Catterick (2m3f, beaten 92l); equipment goes on; stamina?. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -33%) Dakota Beat |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Dakota Beat 16/1, Won a 23f Bangor handicap last August. Off 8 months below a below-pa ninth in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Needs to step forward. Bangor winner (2m7f) last summer; may strip fitter for Warwick; others make more appeal.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Little separates Rumble B (third) and Dillarchie (fourth) on their recent encounter over C&D, with the pair likely to be involved once more if running to a similar level. However, they could prove vulnerable to something unexposed, and ITURGEON DU BREUIL fits the bill. Barry Murtagh's charge caught the eye when a staying-on third on his handicap bow at Ayr in March and 1lb nudge up in the ratings is unlikely the ceiling of his ability.
A few of these come here with question marks against them but RUMBLE B arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to bag another C&D success. Very good Ayr third Iturgeon du Breuil could emerge as the main danger, with Balkotic and Dillarchie also in the picture.
Lucinda Russell's GREENHILL GARDENS is better than his form figures suggest and earns the vote over this new trip.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (7/2 +13%) Breizh River |
7/2(+13%) | (2) Breizh River 7/2, Fair in bumpers and similar form over hurdles, runner-up for the third consecutive start in 2m novice here 17 days ago. Well worth considering on his first go over fences. Running well without winning over hurdles; respected on handicap/chase debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (33/1 -65%) Divas Doyen |
33/1(-65%) | (9) Divas Doyen 33/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who was running with credit (in fifth) when pulled up before the last flight in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) 93 days ago. 7 lb out of the handicap here though. Inconsistent mare; has plenty it to do from out of the handicap.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 -71%) Check My Pulse |
12/1(-71%) | (7) Check My Pulse 12/1, Winless since 2022 and cheekpieces on when last of 10 in Flat handicap at Newcastle in November. Needs to hit the ground running on his return. Respected off a good mark if ready to roll after a 201-day break.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/2 +31%) Harel Du Marais |
9/2(+31%) | (5) Harel Du Marais 9/2, Remains a maiden after 17 runs and not at his best back hurdling when fifth of 8 in handicap at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 26 days ago. Handily weighted reverted to this sphere though so well worth considering. Should be thereabouts on the pick of his form back over fences off a competitive mark.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/1 -29%) Meetmeinthemorning |
9/1(-29%) | (4) Meetmeinthemorning 9/1, Has twice failed to build on his hurdling debut fourth at Kelso in October. A winning Irish pointer so he's no forlorn hope now going chasing after 173-day lay-off. A good-ground point winner but drop in trip might not be ideal on chase/handicap bow.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (4/1 +0%) Royal Rhythm |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Royal Rhythm 4/1, Made a successful debut for Jonjo O'Neill at Carlisle in October. Added to that at Wetherby on Boxing Day and has remained in form since, fourth in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle 27 days ago. Interesting now going chasing. Has it to prove on good ground at 2m but a likely type to improve for fences.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (6/1 -50%) Foxey |
6/1(-50%) | (3) Foxey 6/1, A three-time winner last season, including over fences at Lingfield in December. Reverted to chasing when unseated rider 7th in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) 28 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Has it to prove off his current mark but respected nonetheless if his jumping holds up.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (8/1 +68%) Noble Affair |
8/1(+68%) | (6) Noble Affair 8/1, Opened account in handicap hurdle here over a year ago so but hasn't been firing of late and pulled up on her chasing bow here. Others appeal more. Hard to warm to returning to fences after a couple of heavy defeats over hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (14/1 -40%) Rollerruler |
14/1(-40%) | (8) Rollerruler 14/1, C&D winner in 2021 but lightly raced since and only fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Newcastle (20.1f, heavy) 38 days ago. Down in trip with work to do. Has each-way claims despite being out of the weights with better ground likely to suit.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BREIZH RIVER has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in novice/maiden hurdle company this year. Connections have wasted little time in sending the son of Stormy River over fences for his handicap debut and the six-year-old could take all the beating if taking to this discipline. Fellow chasing newcomer Royal Rhythm has enjoyed a respectable campaign and is feared most, while an improved bid from C&D scorer Rollerruler wouldn't surprise on his return to this track either.
A few with chances. ROYAL RHYTHM enjoyed a good first season over hurdles for his current yard and is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere at the chief expense of Harel du Marais who reverts to this sphere on an appealing mark. Breizh River is another starting out over fences with some potential and he can also have a say.
Royal Rhythm makes some appeal but preference is for another chase debutant in BREIZH RIVER.

1st (3) (13/2 -44%) Shadows In The Sky |
13/2(-44%) | (3) Shadows In The Sky 13/2, Point winner who failed to build on his promising hurdles debut last year and, similarly, he has taken backward steps subsequent to finishing third on his second start in this sphere at Musselburgh (23.6f, soft) in December. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. 0-9 under rules but shaped over 2m7f last time as though this shorter trip may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (16/1 -14%) Backbyjet |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Backbyjet 16/1, Overcame inexperience when springing a 25/1 surprise in 19f Catterick novice hurdle on New Year's Day. However, he hasn't come close to reproducing that level of form switched to fences the last twice. Novice hurdle winner; yet to shine over fences but things may click at some stage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/1 +7%) Ring Pretender |
7/1(+7%) | (5) Ring Pretender 7/1, Couple of fair efforts over hurdles in 2022 but she's yet to show any real spark in a handful of appearances in this sphere. Looked a threat before fading quickly over C&D this month; needs to see it out better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (8/1 +20%) Edgewell |
8/1(+20%) | (7) Edgewell 8/1, Modest form in bumpers and made little impact in a trio of maiden hurdles during the autumn. Hopes pinned on the switch to fences sparking a significant step forward. Could tap back into bumper promise now back on better going on chase/handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (8/1 +0%) Hey Brother |
8/1(+0%) | (1) Hey Brother 8/1, Runner-up in an Irish point before running to a fair level when making the frame both starts in bumpers. Cut little ice over hurdles, though, and there were few positives to take from his chase debut in a first-time visor (omitted here) at Huntingdon. First run for new yard. Lightly raced 7yo who could improve for the drop back in trip on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (12/1 +14%) Rory's Story |
12/1(+14%) | (6) Rory's Story 12/1, Pulled up sole start between the flags and while she was placed on 2 of her 3 starts in bumpers, this 5-y-o hasn't pulled up any trees in several attempts over hurdles. Will need to improve for the switch to fences if she's to take this. Not easy to fancy on hurdle form but return to better ground may be a plus on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (5/1 +17%) Miss Wachit |
5/1(+17%) | (8) Miss Wachit 5/1, Hurdles winner off a similar mark to this in 2022 and positive start over fences when runner-up at Southwell in July of that year. Has failed to build on that since (both in 3 subsequent chase starts and as many appearances over hurdles) but she's dangerous to discount off this career-low mark. The drop back in trip and better ground could help but her form has become patchy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (9/4 -20%) Warriors Story |
9/4(-20%) | (4) Warriors Story 9/4, Hurdles winner who went close on his second chase start at Ayr in December 2022. Disappointing next 3 runs in this sphere but latest third over C&D (soft) when returning from a break represented a step back in the right direction. Signs of a revival over C&D recently and he's one to consider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
WARRIORS STORY returned from a 138-day break to reach the frame over track and trip earlier in the month and he now goes off a 3lb lower rating. The son of Midnight Legend lurks on an appealing mark and he gets the nod. The main danger might be Miss Wachit, who failed to fire over the smaller obstacles at Perth in September but the return to this sphere and booking of Brian Hughes suggest an improved performance may be on the cards. Hey Brother completes the shortlist.
With a dearth of credible candidates on show, WARRIORS STORY is much the most likely winner on the back of his creditable C&D effort 17 days ago when returning from a five-month absence. The 8-y-o has been eased a further 3 lb since and the drying ground will aid his cause. Miss Wachit and Shadows In The Sky can do battle for minor place money.
The lightly raced chasing newcomer EDGEWELL has potential off his opening mark in view of the ability he showed in bumpers.

1st (2) (8/1 -60%) Elleon |
8/1(-60%) | (2) Elleon 8/1, Arrives in good order and finally off the mark over fences at Haydock at the end of March. Backed that up when runner-up at Carlisle (24.5f, heavy) next time and not disgraced back over hurdles 10 days ago. Player. Won at Haydock in March; below par over hurdles latest; can be bang there now back chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 -7%) Dr Shirocco |
7/2(-7%) | (4) Dr Shirocco 7/2, Added to his 2 wins last season returning from 11 weeks off when coming from off the pace over C&D 10 days ago. Up 3 lb but is down in class so should go well again. Won over C&D ten days ago; just 3lb higher today and he's a key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 +11%) Coolmoyne |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Coolmoyne 4/1, Finally gained reward for his consistency when off the mark at the 21st attempt over this C&D 17 days ago, jumping well and pulling clear with a subsequent winner. Needs considering up 6 lb. Off mark at 21st attempt over C&D this month and he's entitled to respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/1 +30%) Wavelength |
7/1(+30%) | (3) Wavelength 7/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and opened chase account over this C&D 2 years ago. Best effort since returning from a lengthy absence when third at Carlisle but below par both starts since, never seemed likely to play much of a part when falling over C&D 17 days ago. C&D winner who is on a handy mark and could be a contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (6/1 +20%) West Lawn |
6/1(+20%) | (8) West Lawn 6/1, Winning pointer and successful twice over hurdles here in 2022. Has looked a bit limited over fences but not disgraced from out of the weights last 2 starts and at least able to race off proper mark now. Fair fourth over C&D ten days ago following a break, and might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8/1 +0%) Royle Steel |
8/1(+0%) | (7) Royle Steel 8/1, Fair 2m winner over hurdles who got off the mark in this sphere at Sedgefield off 2 lb higher in October. Below that form since, however, and others are more appealing. Stamina to prove but the return to good ground is a plus and he's well handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/1 +0%) Haveyougotmymoney |
9/1(+0%) | (1) Haveyougotmymoney 9/1, Gained reward for several good efforts in defeat when landing Southwell handicap hurdle (24.3f) in October. Well held last 2 starts 5 months apart but shaped as if needing it 2 weeks ago. Makes chase debut (hit the frame on both starts in points). On a competitive mark on best hurdle form; interesting contender on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (10/1 -25%) Artic Breeze |
10/1(-25%) | (6) Artic Breeze 10/1, Irish point winner who showed little in 6 hurdle starts for Laura Morgan. Made much more of an impact when second at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on return/chase debut on Boxing Day but jumping went to pot at Ayr on heavy ground next time. Worth another chance back on decent going. Patchy profile and down field last time; however, runner-up two starts ago; not ruled out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
DR SHIROCCO had West Lawn (fourth) behind when accounting for his nearest rival by a length in a class 4 event over C&D recently and he is only 3lb higher for that success. Sandy Forster's nine-year-old looks the one to beat again, with his main threat possibly being Coolmoyne, who himself went in over track and trip earlier in the month and it would be no surprise to see him involved off 6lb higher. Of the remainder, Royle Steel makes the most appeal.
DR SHIROCCO resumed winning ways over C&D 10 days ago and can defy a 3 lb rise back down in class. Coolmoyne pulled clear with a subsequent winner when finally off the mark over this C&D earlier this month and looks the obvious threat with Elleon best of the others.
With his last win having come off 2lb higher on good ground after a break, ROYLE STEEL earns the vote on his first run since February.

1st (1) (Evens +20%) Roccovango |
Evens(+20%) | (1) Roccovango Evens, Built on yard debut when opening account in 15-runner maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (19.5f, heavy) 65 days ago, well on top finish in first-time headgear. Faces different conditions here but respected under a penalty. Won maiden hurdle at Huntingdon in March and holds leading claims under a 7lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (13/2 -63%) Wise Move |
13/2(-63%) | (7) Wise Move 13/2, Shirocco gelding. Dam (c83) 2¾m chase winner. Multiple winning pointer, including last time (Apr 27). One to note. 4-14 in Irish points, including three wins this year; not ruled out on rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (100/1 -52%) Major Champion |
100/1(-52%) | (3) Major Champion 100/1, No impact in Irish points and well held in novice hurdle at Kelso. Didn't show enough on his recent rules debut to suggest he'd be winning this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/1 +0%) Powers Dilemma |
16/1(+0%) | (5) Powers Dilemma 16/1, Placed on the last of 4 starts in Irish points but that was back in 2022 and ran to only a modest level both starts in novice hurdles. Has shown some ability on first two hurdle starts and he's an each-way possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (25/1 +24%) Westerdale |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Westerdale 25/1, Westerner mare. Dam (c97/h69) winning pointer. Dam placed in staying races; takes on males on debut and may be best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (13/2 +41%) Conquer The Breeze |
13/2(+41%) | (2) Conquer The Breeze 13/2, Showed modest form in 2 maidens on the Flat for A. Slattery and similar form over hurdles for this yard, running best race when second of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Further improvement needed. Second here last time; others have better form but he's an each-way contender once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (250/1 -25%) Paris Cercy |
250/1(-25%) | (4) Paris Cercy 250/1, Maiden pointer. No show in novice/maiden hurdle. Has struggled at massive odds this year on his two hurdle starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (10/3 -48%) Reforme |
10/3(-48%) | (6) Reforme 10/3, Shaped like a stayer sole start in bumpers and made frame both starts in maiden hurdles. Step up in trip will suit and remains capable of better. Has made the frame on first three starts (1m7f-2m1f); this trip can suit; strong candidate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (250/1 -279%) Norse Reiver |
250/1(-279%) | (8) Norse Reiver 250/1, Showed little in a brace of bumpers and beaten a long way both starts in novice hurdles. Big odds and well beaten on all four starts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Roccovango sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 116 after his victory at Huntingdon in March, but he could find it tough to give his 7lb penalty away to REFORME. Lucinda Russell's five-year-old wasn't disgraced in third over an extended 2m1f at Musselburgh last time and he can improve for this step up in trip to get his head in front for the first time. Conquer The Breeze was beaten 10 lengths into second over 2m here earlier in the month and is another to note.
REFORME should improve for the step up in trip and is preferred to penalised winner Roccovango. Multiple winning pointer Wise Move is an interesting newcomer.
The Lucinda Russell-trained REFORME may well improve for this step up in trip and he is taken to get off the mark.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (7/1 +0%) Well Educated |
7/1(+0%) | (6) Well Educated 7/1, Five-time winner in 2022 and showed signs that he retains all of that ability last year. Shaped better than the bare result back from 6 months off in the race won by Hartur D'oudairies and, likely to strip fitter now, he has to enter calculations. Three-time course winner who could build upon his recent fifth here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 -10%) Hartur D'oudairies |
11/4(-10%) | (3) Hartur D'oudairies 11/4, Low-key start for this yard but firmly back on track the last twice, runner-up in a competitive Musselburgh handicap last month prior to going on better here (2m, soft) recently. Still on a good mark up 3 lb and forecast quicker ground won't be an issue. Rejuvenated the last twice (2m1f/2m), keeping on well each time; firmly in calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) A Law Of Her Own |
4/1(+0%) | (1) A Law Of Her Own 4/1, Winner of a mares' handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) for Peter Fahey last summer. Hasn't troubled the judge since but she has generally contested stronger races than this, including when mid-field in an 18-runner Cheltenham handicap on debut for this yard last month. Cheekpieces applied. Could have more to offer now up in trip on second start for top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/1 +0%) The Churchill Lad |
9/1(+0%) | (2) The Churchill Lad 9/1, Dual juvenile hurdle winner who struck again in 2m Haydock handicap in the mud in December. Performed well on 2 of his 3 subsequent starts, including when fourth of 17 in Morebattle at Kelso in March, but he needs to bounce back following a rather tame effort back at Haydock last time. Disappointing latest but has had break since; in good form previously; could make bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/1 -13%) Not What It Seems |
9/1(-13%) | (4) Not What It Seems 9/1, Completed hat-trick of novice hurdle successes in 2022 and good second on handicap debut at Catterick in November of that year. Largely below par since (both in this sphere and over fences) but will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward off this reduced mark. Pulled up over fences last time but has dropped to a dangerous mark and is not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (7/2 -17%) Les's Legacy |
7/2(-17%) | (5) Les's Legacy 7/2, Three-time hurdle winner during 2022/23 campaign, including here. Has found just one too good on 2 of his last 3 starts, the latest when going over this C&D 10 days ago, and a reproduction of that would give him a fighting chance. Hexham brings out the best in him and he went close over C&D ten days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (10/1 +38%) Palm Beach |
10/1(+38%) | (7) Palm Beach 10/1, Dual winner over hurdles but most recent success was over 2 years ago and he has been more miss than hit since. Has undergone another wind op and cheekpieces refitted. On a reduced mark and has had wind op, but he has a regressive profile. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES seems to have turned a corner on his last couple of starts after joining Brian Ellison at the start of the year, with his penultimate second at Musselburgh followed by the seven-year-old getting back to winning ways here over 2m earlier in the month. Stepping up in trip might yield further improvement and he is fancied to handle a 3lb rise from the handicapper. Les's Legacy is expected to be competitive once again after his recent C&D second, while The Churchill Lad is clearly better than his Haydock effort in March suggests.
HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES and Well Educated, first and fifth respectively in a 2m handicap here recently, are both on appealing marks and could be the two to concentrate on. The latter is entitled to come on for that run and should finish closer this time but Hartur d'Oudairies overcame late mistakes and traffic problems that day and he is taken to strike again. A back-to-form Not What It Seems would be a threat, while A Law of Her Own is interesting on her second start for the Skelton yard.
Preference is for HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES, who has gradually got back on track since joining Brian Ellison and remains well handicapped.

1st (1) (11/2 -65%) Jumping Jupiter |
11/2(-65%) | (1) Jumping Jupiter 11/2, Back from 4 months off when creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) on debut for new yard 14 days ago. Entitled to build on that and merits consideration. Unexposed 6yo; sound claims racing off the same mark as when second on stable debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 +22%) For Three |
7/2(+22%) | (5) For Three 7/2, Dual C&D winner who ended lengthy losing run when taking 12-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) 11 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and must enter calculations. Won at Sedgefield back from a five-month break; has plenty in his favour off a 5lb rise.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (18/1 -13%) Aviewofthestars |
18/1(-13%) | (7) Aviewofthestars 18/1, Two from 2 upon joining Fergal O'Brien, following up her Plumpton success back down at this trip at Worcester in October. Not seen to best effect, on second start for new yard, when fourth at Uttoxeter (15.8f) latest but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Not fully exposed and she is respected back on the better ground.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (14/1 +13%) Lady Hamilton |
14/1(+13%) | (12) Lady Hamilton 14/1, Returned to form when 6¾ lengths fifth of 12 to For Three in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good, 18/1) 11 days ago. Yet to register a success, however, and others more convincing. Eight-race maiden who ran well latest and no forlorn hope on the pick of her form.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (10/1 -54%) Brian's Jet |
10/1(-54%) | (9) Brian's Jet 10/1, Didn't make a promising start over hurdles but showed more in 2023/24, making the frame in 4 of his first 5 starts of the campaign. Back to that sort of form when third of 12 in Sedgefield handicap (16.8f, good) latest and could be a player. Remains a maiden after 14 starts but has each-way claims after a solid effort last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (7/2 +42%) Wotyoudunnow Buddy |
7/2(+42%) | (11) Wotyoudunnow Buddy 7/2, Belatedly off the mark when taking 7-runner selling hurdle over C&D (soft) 17 days ago, finding extra. Nicely treated, back in handicap company, and is one for the shortlist. Won a C&D seller this month and is seriously considered back in a handicap.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (50/1 -100%) Agilulf |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Agilulf 50/1, Still looking for first success and arrives on back of poor run at Perth last month. Penultimate start gives him a chance but he has plenty to prove at present.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (16/1 +60%) Ritson |
16/1(+60%) | (3) Ritson 16/1, Badly out of sorts over fences since scoring on Boxing Day in 2022 and no real signs of a revival back over hurdles at Kelso earlier this month. Blinkered for first time. On a good mark but the change of headgear needs to spark a revival.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (14/1 -40%) Indian Louis |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Indian Louis 14/1, Dual point winner who made a winning chase debut at Musselburgh (2½m, soft) on New Year's Day. Not really built on that, however, including back in this sphere here latest. Returns to shorter trip now. On a manageable mark but the drop back in trip is a concern.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (10) (66/1 -100%) Last Mission |
66/1(-100%) | (10) Last Mission 66/1, Fair Flat winner but unproven beyond 8.5f and finished well held on his completed starts over hurdles. Improvement required on switch to handicapping. 1m AW winner; makes handicap hurdle debut with a bit to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (10/1 +29%) Broadford Publican |
10/1(+29%) | (14) Broadford Publican 10/1, Fared better than previously for current yard when 10¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Wotyoudunnow Buddy in selling hurdle over C&D (soft, 10/1) 17 days ago. Overall profile is rather off-putting, though. Fourth in a recent C&D seller; has plenty to find on British form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (20/1 +9%) Balranald |
20/1(+9%) | (13) Balranald 20/1, Successful over fences back in 2021 and finally opened his account over hurdles in a Bangor handicap (19.6f) this time last year. Form has been in and out since, though, and recent efforts on Flat have been disappointing. Out of sorts on the AW this year but reverts to hurdles on a winnable mark.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (50/1 -100%) Darkest Day |
50/1(-100%) | (6) Darkest Day 50/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Kelso in September but hasn't been in the same form since. Back from 6 months off and handicapper has cut him plenty of slack at least. On a winnable mark and sound claims back on good ground, if ready to roll after a break.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (22/1 -38%) Major Snugfit |
22/1(-38%) | (8) Major Snugfit 22/1, C&D winner who wasn't disgraced, back from 6 months off, when 11 lengths sixth of 12 to For Three in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good, 40/1) 11 days ago. Fairly treated if able to build on that. On a good mark and shaped promisingly back over hurdles this month.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
For Three returned from a break to score at Sedgefield and is likely to enter calculations once again. However, a 5lb rise may well be enough to stop him from making it a brace of victories and a chance is taken with INDIAN LOUIS. Lucinda Russell's gelding shaped with promise when switched back to hurdles here over 2m4f earlier in the month and the drop in trip may see him in a better light. Jumping Jupiter and Brian's Jet are others capable of a decent showing.
Preference is for JUMPING JUPITER, who is relatively low mileage and made a pleasing start for Mark Walford at Southwell a fortnight ago. Recent winners For Three and Wotyoudunnow Buddy are feared most.
Jumping Jupiter is not passed over lightly but preference is for FOR THREE (nap) who makes appeal following his recent win.

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.
