(11)  (9/2 -13%)Robert D'ores |
9/2(-13%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Robert D'ores 9/2, Still a maiden but he went close over 23f here on his recent return from wind surgery. Big player if in the same form. Runner-up over C&D (first run since wind surgery) last time; claims if in the same form.. |
|||
(1)  (9/2 +10%)Technology |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Technology 9/2, Fair maiden hurdler. Good start for new yard when second in 20.5f Wexford handicap in August. Not in the same form when sixth at Killarney 5 weeks later but the stable's good Hexham record earns him a place on the shortlist. Encouragement from stable debut second at Wexford (2m4f; newly tongue-tied) in August.. |
|||
(12)  (11/2 +39%)Lewa House |
11/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Lewa House 11/2, Not the most consistent and on a losing sequence but he probably needed his latest Ayr outing after 6 months off. Won this in 2022; wasn't far behind One Step Up on recent Ayr comeback; may strip fitter.. |
|||
(8)  (6/1 -33%)One Step Up |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) One Step Up 6/1, Placed on 2 of his 3 outings this season, on the latest finishing third of 14 at Ayr (19.5f) with cheekpieces added (retained). Should be thereabouts. Placed in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (2m4f) latest; must enter calculations accordingly. |
|||
(2)  (15/2 -25%)Half Track |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Half Track 15/2, Lightly-raced and poor completion rate (primarily over fences) since landing an Ayr novice hurdle back in December 2021. Latest Carlisle third shows some ability remains. The task now is to build on that. Creditable third over hurdles at Carlisle (2m4f; effectively his comeback run) last month.. |
|||
(5)  (10/1 -100%)The Mass Path |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Mass Path 10/1, Operating below his best in Ireland of late but this stable's runners always need monitoring very closely in the betting. Yet to win (0-14); some positives from latest Gowran Park effort; market a helpful guide.. |
|||
(9)  (14/1 +0%)Agilulf |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Agilulf 14/1, Still to register a victory and pulled up on Sedgefield chase debut 15 days ago. Claims on her Market Rasen third in July but she's inconsistent. Maiden (0-20); pulled up after making bad mistake (weakening) on Sedgefield chasing debut.. |
|||
(13)  (25/1 -56%)Royle Steel |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Royle Steel 25/1, Won over fences at Sedgefield last October. Has largely struggled in that sphere since (last seen at Cartmel in June) but is dangerously well handicapped if reviving for a break and a return to hurdles. Out of sorts in the spring; reverts to hurdles from an easing mark with plenty to prove.. |
|||
(3)  (33/1 +0%)Ambassador |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ambassador 33/1, Resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m) in July but not in same form since, finishing down the field at Sedgefield 15 days ago. Below par on previous attempt over this trip. Cheekpieces replace a visor. Lost his way since winning at Uttoxeter (2m) in July; easing mark but vulnerable over 2m4f. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 +0%)Good Bye |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Good Bye 33/1, Proved a model of consistency during 2022/23 campaign for this yard but he hasn't shown much spark in 3 starts since returning from a 17-month absence in June. Struggled in three starts since returning from an absence; best watched for the moment.. |
|||
(6)  (33/1 +18%)Dreams Of Home |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dreams Of Home 33/1, Largely struggled for Donald McCain last season and a change of stable hasn't sparked any upturn in his fortunes this autumn. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. Well beaten in two starts for this trainer, slipping further in weights; cheekpieces go on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ROBERT D'ORES bounced right back to form when finishing an excellent second over an extended 2m7f on his seasonal reappearance here earlier this month, pulling clear with the winner. Stepping back in trip and upped just 4lb, this may be the day to catch him. One Step Up arrives on the back of a solid placed effort at Ayr and he commands respect off an unchanged mark. Irish raider Technology also merits consideration.
ROBERT D'ORES gets the vote on the back of a fine return from wind surgery over a longer trip here 12 days ago. John McConnell has an excellent 11-24 Hexham record so his Technology has to rate a danger. Last month's Ayr third One Step Up also makes the shortlist, while The Mass Path would also enter the reckoning should the betting vibes be strong.
The suggestion is the recent Carlisle third ONE STEP UP who has been mostly on the up since joining Stuart Coltherd

(1)  (5/4 -14%)Ira Hayes |
5/4(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ira Hayes 5/4, Point winner who was impressive when making his second start in bumpers a successful one at Wexford 23 days ago. Bold show likely on hurdle debut if showing up. Engaged 1.03 Carlisle Tuesday. Point/bumper winner who scored easily over hurdles at Carlisle on Tuesday; big player. |
|||
(3)  (9/2 -80%)Not So Sobers |
9/2(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Not So Sobers 9/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who arrives fit from a good fourth at Cheltenham last month. Leading claims on hurdle debut under Brian Hughes. Market Rasen bumper winner; solid fourth on Cheltenham comeback; player on hurdles debut.. |
|||
(9)  (6/1 +50%)Nellie Bluesky |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nellie Bluesky 6/1, Modest form at best in a trio in bumpers but a different proposition sent hurdling when springing a surprise at Perth (2½m) in May. That wasn't a great race but she should still be very competitive under a penalty on return. Sprung a 50-1 surprise on hurdles debut at Perth (2m4f) in May; is penalised accordingly.. |
|||
(4)  (8/1 +60%)Prince Of Perth |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Prince Of Perth 8/1, Returned from a long absence to finish quite an encouraging fourth over C&D last month. He's one who leaves the impression he won't really come into his own until tackling longer trips but he could still play a prominent role. Engaged 2.40 Carlisle Tuesday. Similar efforts since returning from long absence, latest when fifth at Carlisle yesterday. |
|||
(10)  (10/1 +50%)Golden Point |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Golden Point 10/1, Modest in bumpers. Easy to back and might have needed the run after 8 months off when a remote fourth of 5 on her Perth hurdle debut in September. Promise in bumpers; dropped out tamely on hurdles debut at Perth (2m4f) in September.. |
|||
(6)  (20/1 +0%)That One |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) That One 20/1, Showed definite ability in 3 hurdles earlier in the year, posting his best effort when fourth over C&D in March. Place claims if ready to roll after 8 months off. Never dangerous fourth of six over C&D in March; probably one for further down the line.. |
|||
(5)  (20/1 +39%)Shadow Chaser |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shadow Chaser 20/1, Point winner who was third in a 19f Cork bumper for John Gleeson and has shown a bit in a couple of novice hurdles in the North this autumn. Might not reveal his true potential until handicapping, though. Engaged 1.03 Carlisle Tuesday. Irish point winner (3m); reasonably low-key over hurdles so far for Stuart Coltherd.. |
|||
(8)  (20/1 +39%)Willie Shake Hands |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Willie Shake Hands 20/1, Imposing sort who was third in an Irish bumper in April and has shown definite ability in 2 hurdle runs for Sam England in recent weeks. Handicaps after this perhaps more his thing, though. Prominent before fading (some mitigating circumstances) on both starts for Sam England.. |
|||
(11)  (20/1 +70%)Lizzie Luna |
20/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lizzie Luna 20/1, Has shown ability in 3 bumpers but not enough to suggest she's likely to make a winning start over hurdles here. Engaged 2.40 Carlisle Tuesday. Never-dangerous seventh, behind Prince Of Perth, switched to hurdles on Tuesday. |
|||
(12)  (25/1 +38%)Uokhun |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Uokhun 25/1, Arcadio mare who is bred to stay well and shaped with some encouragement when fourth of 11 in bumper at Musselburgh in March 2023. Limited promise in two hurdling outings subsequently, though. Engaged 2.40 Carlisle Tuesday. Well held over C&D 12 days ago; unseated rider early at Carlisle on Tuesday; unappealing.. |
|||
(2)  (33/1 +18%)Long Time Listener |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Long Time Listener 33/1, Point bumper winner but finished a remote sixth in a bumper under Rules at Newcastle in March. The betting is perhaps the best guide now hurdling after 8 months off. Weakened tamely on bumper debut at Newcastle (2m1f); has suitable pedigree for hurdles.. |
|||
(7)  (66/1 +0%)Walk In The Valley |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Walk In The Valley 66/1, Not disgraced both starts in points in spring 2023 but hard to derive much promise from his 2 efforts in novice hurdles last month. Made little impact in two attempts under rules, pulling-up at Bangor (2m; 125-1) latest.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NOT SO SOBERS caught the eye when finishing a staying-on fourth in a hot Cheltenham bumper and, with his sights lowered on his debut over timber, he gets the vote to land the spoils. Nellie Bluesky didn't cut much ice in NH Flat races, but she impressed when making a winning hurdles bow over 2m4f at Perth in May and must be of interest on her return to the track. Golden Point is also a noteworthy contender, while Ira Hayes, who won at Carlisle on Tuesday, would hold obvious claims if turned out here.
NOT SO SOBERS had the form of last month's Cheltenham bumper form boosted there over the weekend and can strike on hurdle debut. Perth winner Nellie Bluesky and That One should get involved in the battle for minor honours. Ira Hayes would be a major threat to the selection if showing up here after/instead of Carlisle on Tuesday.
The Market Rasen winner NOT SO SOBERS, the first foal from a useful 2m hurdler, ticks plenty of boxes now heading over obstacles.

(2)  (10/11 +100%)Cadell |
10/11(+100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cadell 10/11, Unbeaten in points. Fairly useful form over hurdles last season and he took a sizeable step forward from his chase debut effort when making all in a 3-runner Wetherby novice (24.2f) 19 days ago, quickening clear from 4 out. Obvious claims with prospect of more to come. Dominant display in a three-runner affair at Wetherby (3m); further improvement probable.. |
|||
(1)  (7/2 -40%)Reverend Hubert |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Reverend Hubert 7/2, Useful winning form over fences at up to 3m during the summer. Creditable effort on Flat when seventh in Cesarewitch last month prior to struggling from a lofty mark over hurdles at Aintree 11 days ago but definite claims of getting involved back over fences for shrewd stable. 2-4 over fences; 8th in Cesarewitch; returns to chasing under optimum conditions. |
|||
(4)  (4/1 +27%)No Time To Wait |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) No Time To Wait 4/1, Bumper/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott. Stepped up on his yard/chase debut effort at Kilbeggan when fourth of 6 in novice at Down Royal (19.9f) 3 weeks ago, yet he didn't convince with his jumping then. Tongue strap applied now. Failed to sparkle over fences (Kilbeggan and Down Royal) and this looks competitive.. |
|||
(5)  (8/1 -23%)President Scottie |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) President Scottie 8/1, Ended last term on the up over hurdles, scoring at Ayr and Haydock before a very good fourth in 3m Ayr handicap in the spring. Has the potential to make a better chaser. Interesting. Progressive hurdler; the type to do well over fences but this is a tough introduction.. |
|||
(3)  (16/1 +52%)Raceview Road |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Raceview Road 16/1, Multiple Irish point winner who was placed in a bumper and couple of Newcastle novice hurdles prior to making a winning chase debut in handicap at Kelso (21.6f) in April. Decent efforts there next 2 starts, including on return, but plenty more needed on these terms. Engaged 12.30 Carlisle Tuesday. Kelso winner (2m5f) in April; respectable since; is facing a tough task on these terms.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Cadell struck at the second time of asking over fences, making all to beat two rivals at Wetherby, and he must enter calculations, although he may not be able dominate in quite the same way. NO TIME TO WAIT wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth in a 2m4f Down Royal beginners chase won by the exciting Firefox and, stepping back up in trip sporting a tongue-tie for the first time, he gets the nod to score for his astute connections. Reverend Hubert is also considered.
CADELL will likely face sterner resistance than when successful in a 3-runner affair at Wetherby 3 weeks ago, yet Lucinda Russell's 6-y-o was dominant on that occasion and is fancied to take this with further progress in the offing. Reverend Hubert returned to chasing and President Scottie, who was progressive over hurdles last term are fancied to emerge as the lead threats.
Lucinda Russell's CADELL produced a dominant display at Wetherby and can hold sway over Reverend Hubert.

(1)  (11/4 +17%)Destiny Is All |
11/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Destiny Is All 11/4, Boasts a good record when fresh and bolstered that after 6 months off when landing 6-runner handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, good to soft) 23 days ago, rallying to lead on run-in. Respected up 3 lb returned to this significantly longer trip (fourth in this race 12 months ago). Reappeared with 3m win under Jack Power at Ayr last month and ran well over C&D in March. |
|||
(2)  (4/1 +11%)Camp Belan |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Camp Belan 4/1, Thorough stayer who cashed in on his reduced mark at Ayr (24.1f) in February. Creditable efforts in defeat have followed, 6¼ lengths third of 6 behind stablemate Destiny Is All on the back of 6 months off at Ayr 23 days ago. Likely to be sharper here. Reappeared with fair third at Ayr and he's run really well on last two visits here; chance. |
|||
(5)  (9/2 +10%)Elleon |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Elleon 9/2, Still not the most of fluent of jumpers but has enjoyed a fine start to the season, winning brace of handicaps here (at 3m) and in-the-frame all 5 starts since. Likely to give his running again and he's unexposed at marathon trips. Untested beyond 3m3f but worth a go at today's trip and he's a two-time course winner. |
|||
(4)  (13/2 -95%)Breeze Of Wind |
13/2(-95%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Breeze Of Wind 13/2, Point winner who proved progressive over fences last season, his fourth career success coming in this race from 4 lb lower mark 12 months ago. Comeback fourth at Bangor (24.1f) in October was a solid effort and respected for all he's largely been campaigned on much softer ground. Won over C&D in March and could build on last month's fair reappearance fourth at Bangor. |
|||
(3)  (8/1 +33%)Broken Ice |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Broken Ice 8/1, On a lengthy losing run but did run well in pair of starts over fences/hurdles in August. Latest run when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.7f, soft) 26 days ago was a respectable one but stamina to prove now tackling this significantly longer trip back over fences. On a long losing run but posted two encouraging efforts in August; could be a contender. |
|||
(6)  (8/1 +0%)Jem In Em |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jem In Em 8/1, Consistent hurdler but stepped up on his return/chase debut run when fourth of 10 in handicap at Kelso 45 days ago, even a well-run 3¼m not getting near the bottom of him. Demands of this sort of test look sure to suit and respected with blinkers replacing cheekpieces. 6yo who could relish the step up in trip; well treated on hurdle form; one to consider. |
|||
(9)  (12/1 +33%)Dequall |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dequall 12/1, 3-time winner over hurdles (including here) but the latest of those come back in 2021 and whilst he's been in good nick over timber in recent months, this not the easiest of assignments returned to chasing from out of the weights. Placed over hurdles here the last twice; 9lb wrong for this belated return to chasing. |
|||
(8)  (16/1 -14%)Dr Shirocco |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dr Shirocco 16/1, Winless following 20 attempts over hurdles but has already won 3 times in this sphere, the latest over 3m here in May. Solid efforts next 3 starts prior to a disappointing run after 4 months off at Sedgefield (21.1f) 15 days ago. Return to this venue a plus but has stamina to prove. Two-time course winner who may have needed his recent return to action at Sedgefield. |
|||
(7)  (20/1 +39%)Low Mileage |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Low Mileage 20/1, Fairly modest maiden over hurdles/fences in Ireland and not shown much in 2 chase tries (7 months apart) for present stable. Marked increase in trip needs to have positive effect now. 6yo who is on a reduced mark but for good reason and has plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DESTINY IS ALL didn't quite see out the trip when fourth in behind Breeze Of Wind (winner) over C&D in March. Lucinda Russell's 10-year-old, successful at Ayr on his comeback last month, only wilted late in the day and with ground conditions set to be nowhere near as testing, he could reverse that form. Dr Shirocco shapes as if he will appreciate this marathon trip and he is worth a second glance, while Camp Belan is also noted.
Claims can be made for a host here including last year's winner BREEZE OF WIND. He returned to action with a solid fourth at Bangor 22 days ago and the significant step back up in trip is firmly in his favour. Elleon is another of interest along with Jem In Em, who has often shaped like worthy of a crack at a marathon trip.
The 6yo JEM IN EM (nap) represents the in-form Lucinda Russell and has shaped as though he could relish this severe test of stamina.

(1)  (4/1 -14%)Return Fire |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Return Fire 4/1, Well suited by the demands of this track and, on back of a recent spin over hurdles, capitalised on reduced mark when taking 9-runner handicap chase (24.2f) 12 days ago. Drop in trip won't inconvenience him and possibilities up 6 lb. Made it 3-4 at Hexham when winning here 12 days ago; solid claims. |
|||
(10)  (5/1 +29%)Kicksaftersix |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kicksaftersix 5/1, Opened his account in a handicap chase over 15.6f here in summer 2023. Winless since but consistency hard to knock in recent months, again finding only one too good back here 39 days ago. Yard amongst the winners and step back up in trip within range. Poor strike-rate but sole win came here and he arrives in good form; can be thereabouts. |
|||
(9)  (11/2 +15%)The Paddy Pie |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) The Paddy Pie 11/2, Losing run stretches back almost 2 years but his mark reflects that and he comes here having run well when second of 11 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, good) 15 days ago. Can't be ruled out at this level. Having dropped down the weights he was a clear second at Sedgefield a fortnight ago. |
|||
(2)  (11/2 -22%)Flash Du Pistolet |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Flash Du Pistolet 11/2, Ex-pointer who displayed fair form at best over hurdles and encouraging return from 10 months off when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 25 days ago, no extra only late on. Rates a likely improver in this sphere. Placed in points and over hurdles; could build upon last month's encouraging chase debut. |
|||
(7)  (13/2 +7%)Ribeye |
13/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ribeye 13/2, C&D winner who stepped up on his reappearance run here, when 6 lengths third of 7 in handicap chase at Newcastle (23.4f) 3 weeks ago. Merits a second look operating just 1 lb above the mark he last tasted success from. C&D winner who was a good third at Newcastle three weeks ago; he's on the shortlist. |
|||
(8)  (8/1 +33%)Cudgel |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cudgel 8/1, All 6 career wins have been registered at this course and he typically gave a good account of himself when third in a C&D handicap 6 months ago. Has gone well fresh in the past and he's another in with a shout. 11yo who has been beaten on last 10 starts but this 6-time course winner is not ruled out. |
|||
(5)  (10/1 +0%)Poetry Man |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Poetry Man 10/1, Failed to trouble the judge over hurdles but more like it with cheekpieces enlisted/sent chasing, placed in pair of Newcastle handicaps during the spring. Unseated both starts around here at 3m thereafter but he's certainly not one to write off returning from 6 months off. Unseated here in the spring on last two starts but good second at Newcastle previously. |
|||
(4)  (12/1 +0%)Okavango Delta |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Okavango Delta 12/1, Hurdles winner who shaped with encouragement starting out for new yard when fourth in handicap chase here (15.6f) in October. Couldn't build on that when sixth at Kelso (17f) next time but a return to this longer trip may well see him in a better light here. Respectable efforts on first two runs for trainer and this step back up in trip may help. |
|||
(6)  (18/1 -13%)Kauto D'amour |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kauto D'amour 18/1, Dual hurdles winner who was placed on all 3 completed starts over fences in 2022. Fell on sole outing of last year over C&D in October and he'll need to have brushed up his jumping now returning from another lengthy absence. Well treated on his 2022 placed form but has run just once since, when well beaten in 2023. |

(3)  (20/1 +20%)Lisloran |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lisloran 20/1, Won 3 times over fences at around 2½m during 2022/23 campaign. Failed to kick on from a respectable run over hurdles last term, running poorly when sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) in February. Cheekpieces worn then are discarded back from 9 months off/following wind surgery. Returns having had wind op but he was tailed off on his last two starts last season. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RETURN FIRE was able to exploit his sliding handicap mark when on target over 3m here recently and with a drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience this C&D winner, a 6lb rise might prove lenient. The Paddy Pie bounce backed to form when filling the runner-up spot at Sedgefield and is respected from 2lb higher, along with the consistent Kicksaftersix. Flash Du Pistolet didn't fire on his chasing debut having been sent off joint-favourite, but he may step forward now.
It could be worth siding with RIBEYE who stepped up on his comeback run when finishing a good third at Newcastle 3 weeks ago and lines up just 1 lb above the mark he last tasted success from over this C&D. Return Fire was successful over 3m here 12 days ago and needs considering. Flash du Pistolet is another who has wins in him in this sphere judged on an encouraging reappearance display at Kelso last month.
Lightly raced 6yo FLASH DU PISTOLET was a promising fourth on last month's chase debut at Kelso, and can build on that with a win.

(1)  (5/4 -4%)Bespoke Tailor |
5/4(-4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bespoke Tailor 5/4, Malinas gelding who has found one too strong on both starts in bumpers so far, beaten much further than on debut 6 months earlier but still probably running to a similar level at Ayr (16f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago. Every chance he will make it third time lucky. Runner-up at Perth and Ayr the last twice and holds leading claims. |

(3)  (2/1 +20%)He's Bresilian |
2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) He's Bresilian 2/1, Blue Bresil gelding who had failed to complete in 2 points but shaped with a little more encouragement when fourth of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) just under 5 weeks ago, unsurprisingly caught a little for speed when it mattered. Fancied to be bang there with that under his belt. Promising fourth on last month's bumper debut at Carlisle and he's respected. |

(5)  (7/1 +13%)Noble George |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Noble George 7/1, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Fin And Game, stayed 19f, and bumper winner/fair hurdler Nell's Bells. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class hurdler/smart chaser (2m-2¾m winner) Peddlers Cross. Debutant to consider. Half-brother to three winners and stable is in fine form; the betting may be informative. |

(6)  (8/1 +20%)Spectress |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Spectress 8/1, Passing Glance mare. Dam (h105), 2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (15f-17f winner) Fair Loch. First foal; dam 2m2f hurdle winner (RPR 94); she may be one for further down the line. |

(2)  (12/1 +52%)Fast Work |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fast Work 12/1, Workforce gelding who looked green when seventh of 10 in bumper at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on debut just under 3 weeks ago, outpaced from 3f out. Needs to build on that. May have needed recent debut outing but he was well beaten and needs a big step forward. |

(4)  (16/1 +20%)King Kodiak |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Kodiak 16/1, Arctic Cosmos gelding. €2,800F. Fifth foal. Dam unraced, from family of very smart 2m/2½m chaser The Outback Way. 2,800euros foal; fifth foal; dam unraced; he may be best watched on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Runner-up to promising types at Perth and Ayr, this looks a good opportunity for the Ewan Whillans-trained BESPOKE TAILOR to get off the mark. Connections would have been pleased with He's Bresilian's bumper debut at Carlisle, though, and he is the main threat. Noble George, a half-brother to two NH Flat winners, is worth a market check ahead of his racecourse bow.
BESPOKE TAILOR has found just one too strong on both starts so far so Ewan Whillans' 4-y-o is fancied to make it third time lucky at the expense of He's Bresilian, who shaped with a more encouragement than he had in a couple of points when fourth at Carlisle last month. Noble George makes most paper appeal of the newcomers so can occupy third place.
This could go to HE'S BRESILIAN, who was a promising fourth on last month's bumper debut at Carlisle and is open to improvement.

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.
