---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (3/1 -100%) Killeemore Lad |
3/1(-100%) | (2) Killeemore Lad 3/1, Has taken significant steps forward on each of his 3 starts over hurdles, off the mark in a 16-runner Kilbeggan maiden (19f, good to soft) last time. Remains open to improvement and he's high on the shortlist. Improved to cause 66-1 shock at Kilbeggan last month; might still have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (5.5/1 +35%) Beaumesnil |
5.5/1(+35%) | (3) Beaumesnil 5.5/1, Signs of ability starting out under Rules in a Perth bumper in April and there were positives to glean from his subsequent hurdles debut fourth here (2½m, good) last time. Drop in trip looks a good move and he's not without each-way hope. Shaped with significant promise when fourth over 2m4f here on hurdle debut; e-w claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (66/1 +0%) Fllana Bay |
66/1(+0%) | (9) Fllana Bay 66/1, Has hinted at ability on a couple of occasions but that remark certainly doesn't apply to his efforts since returning from a break in April. Pulled up off lowly mark and faces another tough assignment today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (22/1 -57%) Grand Scheme |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Grand Scheme 22/1, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat for Richard Hannon but he was beaten a long way on his introduction to this sphere at Carlisle. Fairly useful on the Flat but made low-key stable/hurdle debut last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (0.62/1 +38%) Carrarea |
0.62/1(+38%) | (1) Carrarea 0.62/1, Dual bumper winner for Emmet Mullins and opened hurdles account at second attempt for present yard when landing a 16.6f Market Rasen maiden last month. Duly followed up over the same C&D (good) recently and he's very much the one to beat. Delivered on promise shown in Ireland when winning twice for new stable this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (25/1 +24%) Izzy Bell |
25/1(+24%) | (10) Izzy Bell 25/1, Creditable third of 8 in a Carlisle novice in April but that is a standout effort and he ran poorly at Perth recently. Cheekpieces applied. Placed at huge odds in April but two lesser efforts have followed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (33/1 -32%) Local Drama |
33/1(-32%) | (6) Local Drama 33/1, Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts between the flags but probably best watched on debut under Rules, unless the betting suggests otherwise. Bought for £8,000 after finishing second in a maiden point last June; rules debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (125/1 +17%) Thorsda |
125/1(+17%) | (12) Thorsda 125/1, Little impact in bumpers and C&D hurdles debut when last seen in March was hardly encouraging. Not disgraced over C&D on hurdling debut but huge improvement needed today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (25/1 +0%) Foxwood |
25/1(+0%) | (4) Foxwood 25/1, Found only one too good in a Catterick bumper on debut in February but well held next time and got no further than the second flight on recent hurdles bow. Didn't get far on recent hurdling debut but was second in a bumper in February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (250/1 -67%) Loose Moose |
250/1(-67%) | (11) Loose Moose 250/1, Well held on debut in a bumper in March and didn't fare any better switched to hurdles a Cartmel Struggled from fairly early stage when 150-1 for recent hurdle debut at Cartmel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (200/1 -33%) Jad Mahal |
200/1(-33%) | (8) Jad Mahal 200/1, Ultimately disappointing on the Flat for Alan King and has offered little in 2 starts in this sphere for new yard Became disappointing on the Flat and hasn't shown a great deal over hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
CARRAREA arrives on the hunt for a hat-trick and the Mark Walford-trained six-year-old can achieve that feat after a comfortable success at Market Rasen last time out. Dylan Johnston takes off 7lb in the saddle and he can take another step forward in this contest. Killeemore Lad shed the maiden tag at Kilbeggan last time out demands plenty of consideration over this side of the Irish Sea. Beaumesnil has shown glimpses of promise and completes the shortlist.
This is likely to boil down to a straight fight between KILLEEMORE LAD and Carrarea. The latter is greatly respected in his bid to complete the hat-trick but preference is for the Irish raider, who made it third time lucky over hurdles at Kilbeggan last month and there may well be better to come from this 5-y-o. Beaumesnil is best of the rest.
Mark Walford's CARRAREA did not need to match his best form to win twice this spring and is selected to continue his productive spell.

1st (1) (0.73/1 +20%) Special Rate |
0.73/1(+20%) | (1) Special Rate 0.73/1, Placed once in points and has taken well to hurdles, winning novices at Newcastle/Cartmel last 2 starts. Makes chase debut in a weak race. 2m4f is well worth a go; makes this chase debut having been on the up in novice hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (1.38/1 -25%) Glengeever |
1.38/1(-25%) | (2) Glengeever 1.38/1, Point winner/dual winner over hurdles. Respectable start in this sphere when second of 4 at Fontwell last month and should have more to offer over fences. Second of four to a runaway winner on chase debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) was creditable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 +33%) Placedela Concorde |
12/1(+33%) | (3) Placedela Concorde 12/1, Losing run is mounting up and took a crashing fall over hurdles 3 weeks ago. Up against it from 13 lb out of the handicap. Chase form and recent hurdles do not suggest he can defy position 13lb out of the handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SPECIAL RATE showed a determined attitude to record a second successive win over hurdles last time out at Cartmel, getting the betting of a well-fancied rival. The Philip Kirby-trained gelding has been improving with each outing and this looks like the perfect opportunity to open his account over fences. If he fails to fire, Glengeever could be there to pick up the pieces after a respectable runner-up effort on chase debut at Fontwell. Placedela Concorde has a bit to prove and will likely follow them home.
A weak event with one of the three runners almost a stone out of the handicap, SPECIAL RATE taken to complete the hat-trick switched to fences for the first time.
Glengeever set down the marker when second at Fontwell but SPECIAL RATE has potential judged on his wins in novice hurdles in May.

1st (2) (1.88/1 +16%) Mullinaree |
1.88/1(+16%) | (2) Mullinaree 1.88/1, Form has taken off since equipped with a hood and tongue strap combination, completing a four-timer when seeing off 10 rivals at Market Rasen (20.5f) 8 days ago. Even a further 7 lb rise may not stop him. Very progressive 7yo who has won four in a row in today's headgear combination since March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Glinger Flame |
4.5/1(-29%) | (1) Glinger Flame 4.5/1, Showed he retains ability at the second time of asking after a long absence when gaining a fourth C&D success last month. Will be competitive off 6 lb higher if showing up in the same form. Enhanced excellent C&D record with clearcut win last month and is still on a good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/1 +29%) Captain Zebo |
5/1(+29%) | (5) Captain Zebo 5/1, One-time useful handicapper who snapped a losing run in 5-runner 2m handicap here 14 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb and he continues to look nicely treated on old form. Not the force of old but battled on well to win over 2m here a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (3.33/1 +26%) Our Laura B |
3.33/1(+26%) | (7) Our Laura B 3.33/1, Has improved since handicapping, winning twice over 2½m at Newcastle this spring. Raised 10 lb for last month's success but there could easily be more to come from this lightly-raced mare. Won in good style at Newcastle last month and is now 2-3 in handicaps; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -257%) Getareason |
25/1(-257%) | (3) Getareason 25/1, Course chase scorer who landed back-to-back handicap hurdles at Newcastle and Ayr in spring 2022 but hasn't been seen since. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations. Ended 2021-22 season with two wins but missed all of last season and has fitness to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (6/1 +0%) Well Educated |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Well Educated 6/1, Won 3 times over hurdles here last season. Shaped well from a long way back when fourth of 10 in 2m handicap hurdle here last month. Didn't take to chasing when remote third back here since and treated as if still in form. Won five hurdles in 2022 (three here) and looks back in good form here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (40/1 -60%) Thahab Ifraj |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Thahab Ifraj 40/1, Capitalised on a falling mark when successful at Fontwell last August but not seen since a couple of below-par runs in the autumn. Returns to action in a competitive race and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Pretty consistent on good ground in recent years but has fitness to prove after a layoff. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
This contest can go to the in-form MULLINAREE, who attempts to record a fifth consecutive win. The Milton Harris-trained seven-year-old decisively got the better of his rivals on his latest outing at Market Rasen and he can repeat that feat off 7lb higher. Glinger Flame proved he retains plenty of ability at the age of 11 when landing the spoils here last time out, and he can mount a bold bid. Captain Zebo completes the shortlist.
MULLINAREE is a handicapper on a roll and can defy the assessor again. Captain Zebo and C&D specialist Glinger Flame head the dangers in a competitive race.
Mullinaree is on a roll but course specialist GLINGER FLAME (nap) still looks well handicapped after last month's decisive C&D win.

1st (6) (4/1 +0%) Kicksaftersix |
4/1(+0%) | (6) Kicksaftersix 4/1, Fair form in bumpers for Warren Greatrex and left previous jumping efforts behind when second in handicap chase at Cartmel recently. Might do better again and worth considering. 0-10, but excelled himself when second from out of the weights at Cartmel last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +29%) Budarri |
2.5/1(+29%) | (4) Budarri 2.5/1, Latest win in chase at Musselburgh in February. 11/2, good second of 7 in handicap chase at this course (20.1f, good) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Close second over 2m4f here a fortnight ago and today's shorter trip also suits; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 +18%) Going Mobile |
9/1(+18%) | (2) Going Mobile 9/1, Two of his trio of wins last season came over C&D, with the most recent one coming at Carlisle in March. Not at best here last time but shouldn't be completely dismissed. Won this a year ago but needs to bounce back from two very disappointing C&D runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (5.5/1 +31%) Check My Pulse |
5.5/1(+31%) | (1) Check My Pulse 5.5/1, Finally got off the mark over fences in 7-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (2m) in October. Respectable efforts both starts this year and the visor is back on now. Back from break with two respectable runs last month; not ruled out off last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (14/1 +13%) War At Sea |
14/1(+13%) | (9) War At Sea 14/1, Modest maiden chaser who shaped as if retaining ability on reappearance but followed it with a tame display at Cartmel 17 days ago. Pulled up twice since returning from long layoff this year; needs to prove ability remains. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/1 -120%) Onenightintown |
11/1(-120%) | (5) Onenightintown 11/1, Back to winning ways with a bit in hand at Sedgefield. Good second at Newcastle next time and back on track when fourth over C&D last month. Merits respect. Dual 2m5f winner last summer and ran well over C&D last month, after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 -45%) Konik King |
4/1(-45%) | (3) Konik King 4/1, Runner-up on the second of 3 bumper starts and stepped up on previous efforts over obstacles when third over C&D on chasing debut last time. Makes plenty of appeal. Kept on for third over C&D on chase/handicap debut and may still have potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (14/1 +58%) Archive |
14/1(+58%) | (7) Archive 14/1, Retains little ability nowadays. Likely to struggle. Not seen over fences since 2018 but was a useful chaser in his heyday; on tempting mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Konik King was not disgraced when finishing in third on his return to action last month and the gelded son of Jet Away is taken to improve on that dropping in class, but BUDARRI shades the vote. Only denied by half a length over 2m4f at this track most recently, a 2lb raised mark may not be enough to prevent a bold bid. Kicksaftersix completes the shortlist.
KONIK KING stepped up markedly when third on chasing debut over C&D last time and he looks well treated based on what he did in bumpers, so he's preferred to Budarri, who ran well over 20.1f here last time. Kicksftersix is also considered.
Last season's wins were gained over longer trips but ONENIGHTINTOWN returned from a break with a good effort over C&D last month.

1st (7) (3.5/1 +36%) Velasco |
3.5/1(+36%) | (7) Velasco 3.5/1, Well treated on old form and belatedly took a step back in the right direction for this yard when second of 16 last month. Held back by a few mistakes returned to this venue 17 days later but it was still another sound effort. Arrested his decline with two good efforts over C&D last month; up in grade today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +14%) Hasty Parisian |
3/1(+14%) | (4) Hasty Parisian 3/1, Consistent sort who again ran creditably when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton last month. Eased further 1 lb and he should be bang there back up in distance. Pretty consistent this year and benefits from a drip in grade today; likely contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3/1 -50%) Hoganville |
3/1(-50%) | (1) Hoganville 3/1, Without a win for Paul Nolan in Ireland but scored 3 times for this yard between September and November and well prepared to make a winning return to action at Kelso last month. 4 lb rise won't prevent bold follow-up bid. 4-6 for this yard (includes C&D win) and further progress not yet out of the equation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (8/1 +11%) Motion In Limine |
8/1(+11%) | (2) Motion In Limine 8/1, Registered first success for present yard in 3m handicap hurdle at Southwell last summer. folded both starts at Worcester 8 months apart. Subsequent breathing op may help his finishing effort (tongue tie also on). Has dropped out tamely on last two appearances; needs wind op to have made a difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (7.5/1 -50%) Nikgarde |
7.5/1(-50%) | (6) Nikgarde 7.5/1, Kelso winner in 2020 but very lightly raced. One of his better efforts when third at Newcastle last month from his reduced mark and task is to back that up fitted with cheekpieces. Suggested he might be ready to exploit his reduced mark when placed last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (9/1 +0%) Lissen To The Lady |
9/1(+0%) | (5) Lissen To The Lady 9/1, In top form this spring, recording back-to-back wins over this C&D. They came on heavy ground and she didn't seem quite as at home on quick surface at Kelso 3 weeks ago. Dual C&D winner on heavy ground in March; current mark demands a career-best effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (9/1 +18%) Court Dreaming |
9/1(+18%) | (3) Court Dreaming 9/1, Cashed in on a reduced chase mark at Carlisle in October (24.5f). Sound return to action over timber at that venue in April but a shade disappointing at Newcastle since. Didn't fire last time and younger rivals look better handicapped here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A 4lb rise for a two-and-three-quarter-length success over an extended 2m6f at Kelso last month seems fair for HOGANVILLE. George Bewley's inmate scored over C&D last September and he rates the one to beat. Nikgarde sports first-time cheekpieces and is taken to build on a decent third over a similar trip at Newcastle most recently, while the class-dropping Hasty Parisian is another to consider.
HOGANVILLE can boast an excellent strike rate for these connections and a 4 lb rise for last month's Kelso win may well be within range. Hasty Parisian is pretty reliable at this level and is a threat, along with Nikgarde.
This is a drop in grade for consistent 5yo HASTY PARISIAN, who might have untapped potential over staying trips.

1st (8) (1.5/1 +33%) Hapy La Vie |
1.5/1(+33%) | (8) Hapy La Vie 1.5/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points and left hurdling form well behind when runner-up in a handicap here on chasing debut. Step up in trip is in his favour, so he's worth chancing to go one better. Kept on well for second here (2m4f) on last month's chasing debut; up in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (22/1 -120%) So Be It |
22/1(-120%) | (1) So Be It 22/1, Maiden pointer but heavily backed at big prices and should probably have won at Perth on penultimate outing. Pulled up at Catmel since but too soon to write off. Ran big race in a hunter chase two starts ago but his overall profile is very unconvincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (3.2/1 +9%) Croagh Patrick |
3.2/1(+9%) | (2) Croagh Patrick 3.2/1, Course winner. Shaped as if still in form when fifth at Newcastle a month ago. Back up in trip cheekpieces removed (which could be a positive), and he merits respect down in grade. Soundly beaten after racing too freely last month; good claims on earlier form, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (20/1 -25%) Humps And Bumps |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Humps And Bumps 20/1, Hurdles/chase winner for Peter Croke in Ireland and back on his game when second of 17 at Listowel in September. However, well below that level for new yard and needs to bounce back after 172 days off. Started off for stable with three underwhelming hurdle runs in late 2022; back from break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (3.33/1 +5%) Dolly Dancer |
3.33/1(+5%) | (3) Dolly Dancer 3.33/1, Has struggled since scoring over 3m at Kelso a year ago but he's well handicapped now and latest effort at the same track was more encouraging. Considered. Has become very unreliable, but this dual C&D winner is well handicapped; can't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (11/1 -100%) Ho Que Oui |
11/1(-100%) | (5) Ho Que Oui 11/1, Fair hurdler in France and produced her best effort for this yard when scoring over fences at Ffos Las in October. Back on track to some extent at Huntingdon last time but he's hard to rely on. Stopped the rot when second at Huntingdon last month; contender if in right mood again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (11/1 +31%) Absolutely Dylan |
11/1(+31%) | (7) Absolutely Dylan 11/1, On a long losing run and produced a tame display over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time. Hard to fancy back over larger obstacles. Seems badly to have lost his way; big leap of faith required to support him at present. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Hapy La Vie finished a respectable second on his chasing debut over 2m4f here last month and James Ewart's gelding can go very close if seeing out this stiffer test. Preference, however, is for dual C&D winner DOLLY DANCER, who is now 9lb lower than her last winning mark. Ho Que Oui returned to form when runner-up at Huntingdon latest and completes the shortlist.
Ex-pointer HAPY LA VIE benefited from a switch to chasing when second here last time and, with the longer trip likely to suit, he's a confident choice to open his account. Croagh Patrick is in good order and looks a danger, while Dolly Dancer can't be ruled out.
He spoiled his chance by refusing to settle last time but CROAGH PATRICK is the one to beat if judged on his two previous efforts.

1st (1) (3.5/1 -40%) Belvedere Blast |
3.5/1(-40%) | (1) Belvedere Blast 3.5/1, Resurgent this summer, scoring at Market Rasen at the beginning of the month before following up there 8 days ago. 10 lb higher in the weights now but he should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Back from break with two wins in blinkers this month; promising 7lb claimer enlisted today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (2.75/1 +68%) Minella Youngy |
2.75/1(+68%) | (2) Minella Youngy 2.75/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell but yet to get competitive in 6 outings for current yard, faring little better at Newcastle last month. Tongue strap on but he's opposable from another reduced mark. Yet to be placed for this stable but ran okay at Newcastle last month; tongue-tie on here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (33/1 -136%) Nastasiya |
33/1(-136%) | (8) Nastasiya 33/1, Still yet to really convince as a hurdler and arrives after a spell of underhwelming efforts on the Flat. Hood/cheekpieces reapplied but others are preferred. 19-race maiden; not seen since finishing third in Flat seller in October; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/1 +22%) Bushmill Boy |
7/1(+22%) | (9) Bushmill Boy 7/1, Yet to score over hurdles but arrives after a pair of positive efforts, most recently when third of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.1f, good) 14 days ago. Not discounted from out of the weights. 4lb wrong today but ran big race when third of 16 over 2m4f here a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (33/1 -83%) Jessica Rabbit |
33/1(-83%) | (5) Jessica Rabbit 33/1, Ended lengthy losing run over hurdles at Uttoxeter (20f) last summer on her debut for Fergal O'Brien but ended time with that yard poorly and is best watched starting out for her new stable after 9 months off. Sold out of Fergal O'Brien stable after poor chase run in October; stable debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/1 +50%) Coup De Gold |
9/1(+50%) | (7) Coup De Gold 9/1, One win from 28 NH runs. 7/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, good) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal dropped markedly in trip. Has poor strike-rate but his only previous run in cheekpieces was a good third in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (28/1 -273%) Sunshine Girl |
28/1(-273%) | (6) Sunshine Girl 28/1, Placed in bumpers at Down Royal. Hasn't achieved much in her 3 hurdle starts but may yet do better now switched to handicap company. One to note in the betting. Showed only minor promise in her qualifying runs but may improve in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (6.5/1 +0%) Pateen |
6.5/1(+0%) | (4) Pateen 6.5/1, Chased home subsequent winner when second of 11 at Perth (2m) last month before going one better over C&D (good) 25 days ago, driven out. Respected from 5 lb higher mark. C&D winner last month; 5lb rise probably enough to leave this 11yo vulnerable, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (125/1 -89%) Iheardupainthouses |
125/1(-89%) | (10) Iheardupainthouses 125/1, Showed nothing on his handicap debut here (16.6f, good) 16 days ago and has to be opposed again. Pulled up when 50-1 for recent handicap debut and effectively 1lb higher here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (66/1 -164%) Abouttimeyoutoldme |
66/1(-164%) | (11) Abouttimeyoutoldme 66/1, Poor hurdler offered little on chase debut last time (sole start for Paul Robson). Can't be fancied for new yard. Struggled to get comepetive in a chase here last month; now with another new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (4/1 -20%) Lightening Company |
4/1(-20%) | (3) Lightening Company 4/1, Hasn't made much of an impact in 2 starts over hurdles so far but he scored on the Flat in April and has been handed a potentially handy mark now handicapping in this sphere. High on the shortlist. Landed good prize on the Flat in April; could be on good mark for handicap hurdle debut. |

|PU| (12) (125/1 -279%) Diamant Sur Canape |
125/1(-279%) | (12) Diamant Sur Canape 125/1, Well held in bumper and though there's been the slimmest sign of promise of in a couple of recent hurdles outings, he arrives here after a really poor effort at Cartmel and needs more to make the frame. Blinkers now applied. Struggled in weak selling handicap last time; 12lb wrong here; blinkers tried. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BELVEDERE BLAST has proved a different proposition since being fitted with first-time blinkers at the start of the month, and a 10lb rise for his latest success at Market Rasen may not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from completing a hat-trick. Lightening Company has been in fair form on the Flat and isn't taken lightly on his handicap debut over hurdles, with C&D winner Pateen completing the shortlist.
BELVEDERE BLAST is thriving at present and should be capable of defying another rise in the weights to land the hat-trick. Lightening Company has won on the Flat since last seen over hurdles and is respected, alongside fellow handicap hurdle debutante Sunshine Girl.
Fairly useful Flat-racer LIGHTENING COMPANY is very unexposed over hurdles and could be dangerous off his opening handicap mark.
Ths is the racecard key.
