1st (6)  (4/1 +20%)Ferrybridge |
4/1(+20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ferrybridge 4/1, Won a weak 8-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (17f, good to soft) in December and better effort on second start over fences in C&D handicap recently. Wouldn't dismiss. Much better effort over C&D (soft) latest, when third; each-way player from same mark.. |
|||
2nd (4)  (12/1 -33%)Iorens |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Iorens 12/1, Successful on sole outing in points but failed to build on a promising start over hurdles and well held both runs over fences this year. Has dropped in the weights. Early hurdle promise but out of sorts now, including on last two chase starts. |
|||
3rd (7)  (14/1 -250%)Ensel Du Perche |
14/1(-250%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ensel Du Perche 14/1, In good form when last seen in July, winning handicap chases at Market Rasen and Cartmel over 17f. Not without a chance if picking up where he left off. Up 3lb for the latest win but still looks well treated if straight enough after a break.. |
|||
4th (8)  (33/1 -32%)Stop This Train |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Stop This Train 33/1, Placed once from 4 starts in Irish points but has offered little in a trio of maiden hurdles and a novice chase. Handicap chase debut. Better effort back over hurdles at Plumpton latest but still has plenty to prove.. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/4 +31%)Ingennio |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ingennio 11/4, Several decent efforts to his name over hurdles, including at this track, and showed aptitude for chasing at Newcastle a month ago. Has had a wind op since and is likely to improve. One to consider. Ran well for a long way on chase debut; since had wind surgery; drops 2lb; market check.. |
|||
6th (9)  (25/1 +38%)Money For Jam |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Money For Jam 25/1, Little worthwhile form under Rules. Placed just once in 12 attempts under rules and well beaten in all four chase starts.. |
|||
7th (2)  (5/1 +50%)Chancellorstown |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chancellorstown 5/1, No impact in 3 runs over hurdles (contested good races at Newbury last twice) but placed on 2 of his 3 starts in Irish points and not without interest on quick switch to chasing. Minor form in three hurdles but open to improvement on handicap/chase debut. |
|||
|F| (3)  (12/1 +14%)Dunstall Rambler |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dunstall Rambler 12/1, Just modest form at best over hurdles but has dropped in the weights ahead of this switch to chasing and hood goes back on (raced freely without it last time). Dam from a family of chase winners so he may be capable of better now switched to fences. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (7/2 -75%)Hokelami |
7/2(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hokelami 7/2, Has made a good start over fences, taking his form to a new level back at this trip when scoring at Sedgefield a fortnight ago. Can go well again up 8 lb. Career best win at Sedgefield latest; 8lb rise will demand more but he is much respected.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HOKELAMI made the most of an uncontested lead to score by nine lengths over 2m1f at Sedgefield earlier in the month and he was hit with an 8lb rise for that triumph. Robbie Llewellyn's seven-year-old could have more to offer on only his fifth chase start and he looks the one to beat again. Ingennio is making his first start since a wind operation after he was well held in third at Newcastle last month, but he could get closer off a 2lb lower rating with Gavin Sheehan on board. The hat-trick seeking Ensel Du Perche holds an obvious chance, despite a rising mark.
INGENNIO showed aptitude for chasing at Newcastle and could be the way to go with improvement in this sphere possibly on the cards. Sedgefield-winner Hokelami can go well again, while Chancellorstown is an intriguing contender first time up over fences.
Based on his latest success ENSEL DU PERCHE still looks well treated and gets the vote in the hope that he is ready to go after a break.

1st (1)  (11/8 -73%)Lightening Mahler |
11/8(-73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lightening Mahler 11/8, Winner of sole start in Irish points and created a good impression when making a successful debut over hurdles at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. Below expectations when well held at Warwick next time, but no surprise to see her bounce back following a wind op. Won at Hereford but remote fourth at Warwick since; had wind op; not written off. |
|||
2nd (2)  (15/8 +37%)Moonlit Potter |
15/8(+37%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Moonlit Potter 15/8, Encouragement when making the frame in bumper and built on her hurdling debut effort when winning mares maiden at Lingfield (19.5f, soft) last month, staying on strongly after meeting trouble. Not taken lightly with further improvement to come. Strong at finish when landing Lingfield novice; has more to offer and she rates a player. |
|||
3rd (6)  (28/1 -12%)Love Of Neymore |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Love Of Neymore 28/1, Offered little in bumpers for Martin Keighley and, after a 22-month absence, pulled up at Wincanton on her stable/hurdles debut in February. However, she took a step forward when fourth of 8 in novice at Taunton (19f, heavy) last time. Needs to find more again. Fourth in 2m3f Taunton novice hurdle 25 days ago; more is required here, however. |
|||
4th (4)  (28/1 -40%)Chooch |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Chooch 28/1, In need of the experience when never a threat on bumper debut. However, having had a wind op and in first-time tongue strap, she failed to progress when mid-field at Wincanton in February. Upped in distance as she goes over hurdles. Only seventh in Wincanton bumper lastest; needs to step forward now going hurdling. |
|||
5th (3)  (10/3 +0%)Bluella Bresil |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bluella Bresil 10/3, Runner-up both starts in bumpers and, having reportedly lost her action on hurdles bow in November, she proved a different proposition (had wind op/in first-time tongue strap) when a close third to Moonlit Potter at Lingfield last time. Enters calculations. Had wind op before third at Lingfield, edged out after late errors; enters calculations. |
|||
6th (10)  (25/1 +75%)Von Hallers |
25/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Von Hallers 25/1, Winning Irish pointer but yet to complete in 3 outings over hurdles, though was still in contention when hampered and unseated rider before 3 out at Ludlow on the first occasion. Could yet be capable of better with cheekpieces applied (has had wind op). Winning Irish pointer but failed to complete in 3 novice hurdles; had wind surgery. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (25/1 -108%)Muriel May |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Muriel May 25/1, No better than mid-division in 2 bumpers, but made her effort on the unfavoured inner part of the track when eighth of 12 at this course in January. Remains with more still to offer now hurdling over this longer distance. Flemensfirth mare; hinted at promise in 2 bumpers; no forlorn hope up in trip now hurdling. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (80/1 -142%)Lady Harriett |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady Harriett 80/1, Showed some ability when fourth in Chepstow bumper a year ago but ran poorly on return at the same course in January. Needs to get back on track over this longer trip on her hurdles bow. Off ten months before seventh in Chepstow bumper in January; can do better now hurdling. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (250/1 -150%)Most Agreeable |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Most Agreeable 250/1, Fair form at best in a trio of bumpers for Dan Skelton, but finished well beaten in novice at Fakenham (20f, soft) starting off over hurdles last month. Best watched. Last of four on hurdling/yard debut at Fakenham 38 days ago; significantly more is needed. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (250/1 -150%)Newmill Moll |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Newmill Moll 250/1, Well held in a Limerick bumper on Rules debut back in July 2022. Placed in points subsequently, but has made little impact over hurdles in 2 starts for her current yard. Looks to be up against it. Only poor form in a pair of novice hurdles last summer; plenty to prove after an absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Moonlit Potter needed every inch of an extended 2m3f to get up by a nose and shed her maiden tag at Lingfield last month, with Bluella Bresil only a neck behind in third. It would be no surprise to see the latter reverse the form, as she gets a 7lb pull on this occasion. However, they both could be up against it taking on LIGHTENING MAHLER, who failed to justify favouritism when fourth at Warwick in January, but she had excuses as she was reported to have had breathing problems that day. Therefore, the wind operation could work the oracle for the point-to-point winner to make it two wins out of three under Rules.
Having made a bright start to her career LIGHTENING MAHLER disappointed at Warwick in January, but she is well another chance having had a breathing operation since last time. The Dan Skelton-trained mare can get the better of Moonlit Potter, who overcame trouble when making a winning hurdling debut, with Bluella Bresil also considered.
There was lots to like about the way MOONLIT POTTER knuckled down to score at Lingfield after a troubled passage and she can follow up

1st (5)  (7/2 +61%)Jack Sprat |
7/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jack Sprat 7/2, Won over 19.5f here in November. Another decent run at this venue when fourth of 15 over 20.5f in January and latest Hereford fourth also creditable. Up in trip. Course winner who needs a couple of others to underperform if he is to defy this mark.. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/2 +13%)For Gina |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) For Gina 7/2, Third handicap win of the season when seeing off 6 rivals at Fakenham (3m, soft) last month. Not up to a listed mares' race at Doncaster since but every chance she'll bounce back to form with her sights lowered. Ran no sort of race in a Listed event latest; should be thereabouts if bouncing back.. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/4 -83%)Illico De Cotte |
11/4(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Illico De Cotte 11/4, Irish point winner who came good at the fourth time of asking for new connections when the game winner of a 25.5f Hereford maiden hurdle last month. Has cheekpieces added for handicap debut. Respected for top stable which continues in fine form. Off the mark latest; cheekpieces go on; should be more to come now handicapping.. |
|||
4th (3)  (12/1 +33%)Lanspark |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lanspark 12/1, Returned to form to get back to winning ways at Fontwell on Boxing Day but not in anything like the same form in his 2 outings since. Bounce back called for. Has disappointed the last twice; back on a competitive mark but with a bit to prove.. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (9/4 -50%)Tap N Go Leo |
9/4(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tap N Go Leo 9/4, Bumper winner who struck at the second time of asking over hurdles in 25f Catterick maiden last month. More to come and leading claims now making a quick switch to handicaps. Won going away latest; initial mark requires another step up but he could make it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TAP N GO LEO backed up the promise he showed on his debut over hurdles at Warwick in January to record a smooth success at Catterick next time, with the step up to 3m1f the likely factor in unlocking that extra gear. The five-year-old now makes his handicap bow off a mark of 121, which may prove lenient as he could have plenty of improvement in him, and he is taken to go in again. Illico De Cotte has a very similar profile to the selection but it's a slight worry that connections reach for first-time cheekpieces on the back of his Hereford victory, so he could come out second best. Jack Sprat can win the battle for third.
TAP N GO LEO appeals as one who should keep on improving for a bit longer yet and is preferred to fellow last-time-out maiden winner and handicap-newcomer Illico de Cotte.
This looks likely to chiefly concern last-time winners Tap N Go Leo and ILLICO DE COTTE and cheekpieces can help the latter score.

1st (6)  (2/1 +33%)Calvic |
2/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Calvic 2/1, Point winner who was 0-5 for Lawney Hill but he put in a decent shift whrn third of 10 over C&D on debut for new yard 12 days ago. Now 2 lb lower and he has to be high on the shortlist. Back on track for new yard when C&D third 12 days ago; must enter calculations. |
|||
2nd (7)  (12/1 +52%)Cloudy Wednesday |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cloudy Wednesday 12/1, Generally held his form well during a busy period in first half of last year, bagging handicap chases at Fakenham and over this C&D. Back down to last winning mark but he hasn't shown much spark in a couple of runs since returning from a break in January. C&D winner last May but his form has nosedived since. |
|||
3rd (8)  (10/1 +17%)King Of The Hill |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) King Of The Hill 10/1, Showed first form when, fitted with a first-time tongue strap, finishing second in a 7-runner Catterick handicap chase in December. However, shaped as though amiss at Wetherby next time and he's 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights here. Remote fourth of six at Wetherby (2m3f) last month; he's 5lb out of the handicap too. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/1 -233%)Stumps Or Slips |
10/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stumps Or Slips 10/1, Winner of both completed starts in this sphere but jumping issues surfaced on final 2 appearances of 2013 and he's opposable back from a 6-month break. Off the track since unseating 2 out at Worcester in August; possibilities after a lay-off. |
|||
5th (1)  (11/4 +45%)Icaque De L'isle |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Icaque De L'isle 11/4, Fairly useful chase winner in France and has performed to a similar level for current yard, arguably posting his best effort to date on these shores when runner-up at Fakenham (21.2f, soft) in November. Wasn't seen to best effect last time and needs considering off 3 lb lower here. Good sixth of 14 at Exeter latest; player off 3lb lower with that form proving strong. |
|||
6th (4)  (14/1 -100%)Master Malcolm |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Master Malcolm 14/1, The first of his back-to-back C&D wins last spring was gained in this corresponding race but he has offered little in 3 starts so far this season. Took this event 12 months ago but he's offered little in three outings this season. |
|||
7th (3)  (6/1 +20%)Family Business |
6/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Family Business 6/1, Has slipped in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Hereford (21f, good to soft) in January. However, he was beaten a long way on the back of a second wind op at Southwell next time. Yet to hit top form this term, remote Southwell third last month; others appeal more. |
|||
8th (5)  (11/1 -144%)Hector Jaguen |
11/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hector Jaguen 11/1, Came good at the fourth attempt over fences at Fontwell last spring and, though not at his best in 5 subsequent starts, he at least showed a little more prior to unseating rider 2 out at Plumpton last month. Could go well granted a clean round of jumping. Well held in 2nd when unseating 2 out at Plumpton latest; mark is falling but more needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not in action since unseating his rider at Worcester last August, STUMPS OR SLIPS is relatively lightly raced and has shown plenty of ability in the past, including a double at Worcester and Warwick last year. The son of Getaway should be suited by conditions and gets the vote ahead of Hector Jaguen and Calvic, who ran with credit when third on his first start for new connections at Huntingdon.
A first success on this side of the Channel could be on the cards for ICAQUE DE L'ISLE, who has been given a helping hand by the assessor (eased 3 lb since latest start at Exeter where he wasn't seen to best effect) and a reproduction of his Fakenham effort three starts back would give him every chance. Calvic's recent C&D effort was sufficiently promising to make him a serious player, while Hector Jaguen could also have a part to play if his jumping passes the test.
This looks a good opportunity for ICAQUE DE L'ISLE to get off the mark for Richard Bandey with his Exeter form proving strong.

1st (4)  (11/1 -69%)Paddy In The Caddy |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Paddy In The Caddy 11/1, £55,000 buy after finishing runner-up on his sole start in Irish points last May. However, he's finished well held in novice/maiden hurdles at Exeter and Wincanton this year but could do better now stepped up in trip sent handicapping. Seventh in Wincanton novice latest; longer trip should suit so claims now going in h'caps. |
|||
2nd (5)  (8/1 -45%)Lifetime Legend |
8/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lifetime Legend 8/1, Below par since winning at Catterick 13 months ago. Given a real chance by the handicapper as a result (13 lb lower in the weights now) and a first-time visor could well spark him back to life. Winless since last February and his recent form isn't overly encouraging too; visor on. |
|||
3rd (11)  (10/1 +50%)Getaway With You |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Getaway With You 10/1, Took as step forward from 4 lb out of the weights on handicap hurdle debut when fourth at Lingfield in November and built on that when fifth at Sedgefield from even further out of the handicap. Failed badly to repeat those efforts at Leicester last time, so others look more appealing. Remains a maiden and only sixth in Leciester handicap hurdle latest; others appeal more. |
|||
4th (6)  (11/1 +21%)Deadlock |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Deadlock 11/1, Fair form on Flat but has yet to make much impact over hurdles, finishing a well-beaten sixth of 14 on his handicap debut at Doncaster (2m) in December. Has something to find as he goes back up in distance after a 3-month break. A fair 1m4f maiden on the Flat but he's yet to show that form in this sphere. |
|||
5th (9)  (7/2 +75%)Midnight Soldier |
7/2(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Midnight Soldier 7/2, Made a winning bumper debut in good style at Fontwell in June 2021 for Christian Williams. Encouraging second of 6 at Uttoxeter on hurdles bow last May but safely held all 3 starts since, shaping as if amiss on handicap bow 3 months ago. Tongue tie applied. Failed to go on for current yard, pulled up at Uttoxeter latest; tongue-tie is applied now. |
|||
6th (8)  (9/1 +36%)Baghdad Central |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Baghdad Central 9/1, Off the mark in handicap at Carlisle (19.3f) last April and backed up that effort when third at Southwell the following month. Not so good both starts this season (over fences first time up) and he's likely to find a few too good. Not disgraced after 11 weeks off when fading Doncaster 5th latest; can take a step forward. |
|||
7th (10)  (5/2 -25%)My Friend Sean |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) My Friend Sean 5/2, Very green when mid-field in a bumper and having offered little in novice/maiden hurdles, showed improved form switched to a handicap when third at Doncaster (19.4f, heavy) last month. Capable of better again so he's a must for the shortlist. Big step forward on h'cap debut when third at Doncaster; player off the same mark. |
|||
8th (7)  (12/1 -118%)Highway One O Four |
12/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Highway One O Four 12/1, Better effort in bumpers 11 months apart at Plumpton on return in September, forced wide for effort but holding second for most of straight. Little impact in 3 novice hurdles though but opening mark could well underestimate him. Pulled up at Chepstow latest but could still do beter after a break on his h'cap debut. |
|||
9th (2)  (40/1 -186%)Privatearing |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Privatearing 40/1, Standout effort came when runner-up at Fontwell (21.8f) in February 2023 but well below that level all 3 starts since. Not seen for 10 months and first-time cheekpieces need to spark a major revival. Pulled up at Kempton when last seen out ten months ago; cheekpieces on with lots to prove. |
|||
10th (1)  (17/2 -21%)Prolific Profile |
17/2(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Prolific Profile 17/2, Bought for £50,000 after finishing third on the second of 2 starts in Irish points and some promise in 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles. Should have more to offer now stepping into handicap company for the first time. Fourth in Hereford novice in November; not ruled out after a break on his h'cap debut. |
|||
11th (3)  (150/1 -355%)Phoebe's Charm |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Phoebe's Charm 150/1, Tailed off in maiden/handicap hurdles in Ireland (latest 3 months ago). Has since left Eoin Christopher McCarthy and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Failed to make the frame in five runs in Ireland; needs yard switch to spark improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MY FRIEND SEAN was only collared late in the day when going from the front on his handicap debut at Doncaster and a slight rise in distance should not inconvenience as he looks to get off the mark for his in-form connections. Lifetime Legend has shown very little in recent starts but has dropped 13lb below his last winning mark and is worth a second look as a result, while Baghdad Central is another to consider if bringing his best form to the table.
MY FRIEND SEAN showed improved form switched to a handicap when third at Doncaster last month and, provided he's learnt to settle better at this sort of trip, Tom Lacey's 5-y-o looks good to go a couple places better at the expense of Highway One O Four, who has offered glimmers of promise in novice hurdles and could kick on now sent handicapping. Lifetime Legend and Privatearing can do battle for the bronze medal.

1st (1)  (9/4 +25%)Samuel Spade |
9/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Samuel Spade 9/4, Two wins in his juvenile season and got his head back in front when stepped up to 19f at Taunton in December. showing a potent turn of foot. Has come up short both starts since at Kempton but sights now lowered and he could have a big part to play if jumping fluently. Triple hurdle winner; down in grade from last two starts and a revival is possible. |

2nd (6)  (13/2 -8%)Kansas Du Berlais |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kansas Du Berlais 13/2, On a handy mark based on juvenile efforts and took a step back in the right direction when third in a handicap at Lingfield in December. Below part on debut for this yard at Exeter since but has subsequently undergone another wind op and, down another 2 lb, he's dangerous to discount. Well beaten for new yard atest; since had wind surgery; sports new headgear; bit to prove.. |

3rd (5)  (11/1 -22%)Master Dancer |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Master Dancer 11/1, Winning chaser in France who scored over hurdles in Britain last term. However, lost his way at the end of that campaign and didn't show enough back hurdling on second run of this season at Hereford to make him of real interest here. Well beaten over hurdles latest but retains ability and is on a handy mark now. |
|||
4th (7)  (4/1 +27%)Zestful Hope |
4/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Zestful Hope 4/1, Won a pair of handicap hurdles at Hereford in 2022/23 and went down narrowly over this C&D on his penultimate start. Not so good next time but he remains on a workable mark and won't be without a chance if on-song back here. Below par at Hereford (2m3f, soft) latest; each-way player if bouncing back.. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/2 -100%)Sammy's Guarantee |
11/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sammy's Guarantee 11/2, Much improved (after a breathing op) when taking a 14-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, soft) in January. That represents pretty useful form and she was in the process of running well when exiting 3 out at Chepstow recently, so there is certainly cause for optimism. Was in good form prior to a fall at Chepstow latest; not ruled out.. |
|||
6th (2)  (13/2 +54%)El Rio |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) El Rio 13/2, Point winner who atoned for his last-flight hurdles debut tumble at Chepstow last February when scoring in good style at Ascot next time. However, he needs to get back on track following a couple of very low-key performances during the winter. Found to have an irregular heartbeat latest; bit to prove but big player if back on song.. |
|||
7th (3)  (17/2 -113%)Sao Carlos |
17/2(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sao Carlos 17/2, Bumper winner on debut in December 2022 and built on his hurdles opener when landing a 14-runner Wetherby maiden in January. Failed to fire upped to 20.6f at Market Rasen since but will have a chance if able to get back on track now handicapping in a first-time tongue strap. Below par latest; tongue-tie goes on; stiff initial mark but open to improvement.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The suggestion is SAMMY'S GUARANTEE, who still looked to be going well when falling three out at Chepstow on her most recent start. Tom Lacey's mare won at Doncaster in January and the slight rise in distance looks like a shrewd move. She is preferred to Samuel Spade, who drops in grade after two inauspicious starts at Kempton, and the unexposed Sao Carlos, who disappointed last time out at Market Rasen but must be noted off a workable-looking mark on his handicap debut.
This looks rather trappy with the vote going to SAMMY'S GUARANTEE, who beat a pretty useful novice when opening her account in January prior to chasing home a progressive type on her handicap bow at Hereford. She was starting to get competitive when taking a heavy fall on her latest start and, if none the worse for that, she should go close. A back-to-form Kansas du Berlais would have a serious chance, while a good round of jumping would bring Samuel Spade firmly into the picture.
After a couple of tougher assignments SAMUEL SPADE should find this level more to his liking and he is taken to bounce back to form.
