---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (10/3 +5%) Galway Mahler |
10/3(+5%) | (6) Galway Mahler 10/3, Improved model in recent months, opening his account over C&D in January and followed up in good style at Lingfield (23.5f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, always holding on. Expected to be bang there again up 5 lb. On a hat-trick after win over C&D and at Lingfield; conditions suit; should be competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (15/2 +6%) Boys Of Wexford |
15/2(+6%) | (13) Boys Of Wexford 15/2, Immediate improvement for the switch to fences last term, scoring on debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter and placed next 3 starts. Low-key efforts initially this term but much more like it (in first-time cheekpieces) when third at Market Rasen (19f) 3 weeks ago. Not discounted from this lowly mark. Best run this term when third last time (2m3f); first run at this trip under rules. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/2 +69%) Dusautior |
5/2(+69%) | (5) Dusautior 5/2, Winning Irish pointer who offered little in trio of quick-fire novice/maiden hurdle runs late last year. However, longer trip promises to suit now handicapping with his good yard boasting a good record in this sphere. Cheekpieces added to tongue tie. Had wind op. Ex-Irish pointer; modest form in three 2m hurdles; likely improver on chase/h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (10/1 -11%) Supasunrise |
10/1(-11%) | (7) Supasunrise 10/1, Course winner who doubled career tally at Warwick (20f) in November and largely gave his running subsequently, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f) 4 weeks ago. Steps back up in trip now. Both wins have been at 2m4f but handles soft ground well and in fair form; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 +10%) Kankin |
9/1(+10%) | (2) Kankin 9/1, Bettered form he showed over hurdles when making a winning chase debut at Huntingdon (19.9f) in October. Not so good at Uttoxeter a month later but bit more like it when fourth at Doncaster (19f) 45 days ago. Step up in trip may help now. Off the mark over fences here in October (2m4f); fair run last time; has stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (40/1 -21%) Bolberry Down |
40/1(-21%) | (14) Bolberry Down 40/1, Poor/unreliable maiden hurdler who has offered little both starts over fences 6 months apart. Second in a 2m1f h'cap hurdle last April but below form since; longer trip a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (12/1 +14%) Est Illic |
12/1(+14%) | (11) Est Illic 12/1, Pair of 2m wins at the end of 2020 but has drawn a blank since. Seemed to only consent to run on when race was all but over when third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (22.7f) in January and others more appealing on balance. Last win was in December 2020; well treated now and in fair form, but best form at shorter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (9/1 -100%) Martalmix'jac |
9/1(-100%) | (8) Martalmix'jac 9/1, Largely held form since opening chase account at Stratford (19.5f) in the autumn, proving his stamina when bagging 4-runner Leicester handicap chase (22.7f) 15 days ago. Not dismissed up 3 lb. Two wins since headgear went on, the latest 15 days ago; conditions suit; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (11/1 -38%) Family Pot |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Family Pot 11/1, Form has been up and down so far this term but fallen in weights and step back in right direction when third at Hereford (20.9f) last month, shaping as though this step back up in trip would suit. One to bear in mind again. Two wins on good last term; decent 3rd at Hereford last time; on a good mark; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (25/1 -257%) Twenty Twenty |
25/1(-257%) | (1) Twenty Twenty 25/1, Gradually warmed to his task under a more forceful ride when capitalising on much-reduced mark at Wincanton (25f, heavy) in December. Backed that up when third from 5 lb higher mark over C&D a month later. Should be competitive again. Back to form on last two starts with a win at Wincanton and a C&D third; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (28/1 -75%) Doyens De Ante |
28/1(-75%) | (9) Doyens De Ante 28/1, In good form last spring, winning back-to-back handicaps at Chepstow/over C&D. Behind when unseating at Fontwell in May though, and offered little back from 8 months off when pulled up at Hereford (25.2f) in January. May well be sharper for that now returned to this venue. Dual good-ground winner in the spring; pulled up after a break latest; needs better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (80/1 -220%) Call Off The Dogs |
80/1(-220%) | (3) Call Off The Dogs 80/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (25.7f, good, 6/5) 2 years ago but showed nothing on first run since at Fontwell last month. This ought to reveal more. Off for 695 days after Plumpton win in March 2022; pulled up on first run back last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (250/1 -400%) Deja Rouge |
250/1(-400%) | (12) Deja Rouge 250/1, Regressive form for Gordon Elliott and offered little for present stable, including on chase debut here (19.8f) 5 weeks ago. Ex-Gordon Elliott; not shown a great deal for this yard; well treated but others stronger. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The hat-trick seeking Galway Mahler warrants respect having after scoring at Huntingdon and Lingfield in recent months, with a 5lb rise for the seven-year-old's latest success unlikely to prevent another prominent showing. However, FAMILY POT caught the eye when a never-nearer third at Hereford last time out and Sheila Lewis' charge may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair now faced with a stiffer test of stamina. Recent Leicester winner Martalmix'jac shouldn't be far away either.
GALWAY MAHLER has looked an improved model in recent months, following up his C&D success in January at Lingfield 3 weeks ago, and his latest weight rise shouldn't be enough to prevent another bold bid to complete the hat-trick. Fellow last-time-out winner Martalmix'jac and Twenty Twenty are others to consider. Boys of Wexford is another needing to be factored in following a much better effort at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago.
A chance is taken on DUSAUTIOR, who should show much-improved form now going handicap chasing over 3m on his first run since a win op.

1st (5) (4/1 +0%) Politacus |
4/1(+0%) | (5) Politacus 4/1, Bumper winner and also fourth in Grade 2 at Aintree last term. Hasn't gone on from her hurdling debut effort in 2 subsequent starts, though possibly needed the run at Taunton last time. Remains with potential upped in trip now handicapping in first-time tongue tie. Useful bumper form; not as good a hurdler; up in trip and on a good mark for h'cap debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (3/1 +25%) Majestic Jameela |
3/1(+25%) | (8) Majestic Jameela 3/1, Handled conditions well when winning juvenile maiden hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) in November and doubled her tally on her handicap debut at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) a month ago. Could be thereabouts once again. Off the mark in ordinary 2m Plumpton mares' h'cap latest; longer trip not sure to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/3 +58%) Porter In The Park |
10/3(+58%) | (4) Porter In The Park 10/3, Won handicap at this C&D last January and even better form when runner-up on her next 2 starts. Disappointing tried chasing on her first 2 outings this season, before finding the test too much back over hurdles at Newbury (24.2f, soft) 50 days ago. Not discounted. Won a similar event over C&D in Jan 2023; best run this season when 6th over 3m last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (33/1 -32%) Happy Index |
33/1(-32%) | (9) Happy Index 33/1, Gained a first success in handicap at Ludlow (21.2f) in May and good second at Fontwell next time. However, has run poorly both starts since her summer break, well held back at Ludlow in November. Has a bit to prove at present. 2m5f h'cap winner last May; below-par last two starts after a break; plenty to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/2 -40%) Villainess |
7/2(-40%) | (2) Villainess 7/2, Runner-up on first of 2 outings in bumpers for Jamie Snowden and has also finished second both starts in mares novice hurdles, beaten only ½ length by Sweet Fantasy (won again next time) at Plumpton (15.9f, soft) in January. Major player upped in trip for her handicap bow. Fine second to a subsequent easy winner last time; chance up in trip on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (12/1 -100%) Our Bill's Aunt |
12/1(-100%) | (1) Our Bill's Aunt 12/1, Off the mark in handicap at Chepstow on last season's reappearance and back to her best when runner-up to a handicap debutante at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Can give another good account. Not won since Nov 2022, but placed every run since then and has an each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (18/1 +28%) Regally Blonde |
18/1(+28%) | (7) Regally Blonde 18/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in Ireland for Andrew Oliver. However, she's yet to match that level over hurdles, failing to build on the promise of her previous outing when mid-field in novice handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) in January. Needs to find more. Fair Flat performer but not as good over hurdles so far and others have stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (12/1 -9%) Stopherandgo |
12/1(-9%) | (6) Stopherandgo 12/1, Opened account at the second attempt in mares novice at Wincanton last season (when trained by Claire Harris) and took a step back in the right direction when third in handicap at Fontwell (17.7f) a month ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort upped in trip. 40-1 winner last term; third in 2m1f h'cap on latest start; interesting now up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MAJESTIC JAMEELA justified strong support in the market when gaining a second career victory over hurdles at Plumpton last month. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for the daughter of Postponed and a double could be on the cards. Villainess has posted a pair of respectable runner-up efforts in novice company and she isn't taken lightly racing off what looks a fair opening mark. Richard Bandey's mare is feared most, ahead of A Tickatickatiming.
VILLAINESS has made a promising start over hurdles, finding only a useful recruit from the Flat too strong at Plumpton on her latest outing, so she could be ready to get off the mark as she goes up in trip on her handicap debut. Majestic Jameela made a winning start in handicaps also at Plumpton last month and is feared most, ahead of Politacus.
The choice is VILLAINESS, who was a good second to a useful sort over 2m last time and is bred to be suited by this step up in trip.

1st (6) (6/1 -20%) Shy Love |
6/1(-20%) | (6) Shy Love 6/1, Third sole start in Irish points and shaped with some encouragement despite failing to meet expectations when fifth of 12 in a Huntingdon bumper on debut 34 days ago. Upped markedly in trip for hurdle debut. Ex-Irish pointer who was 5th in a bumper here; needs to improve on hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 -140%) Inedit Star |
3/1(-140%) | (1) Inedit Star 3/1, Useful effort when bolting up in the mud over hurdles at Compiegne in May. Also made a very encouraging start over fences for his new stable when second over 2m at Wetherby (heavy) in November and had excuses (finished lame/bled) at Haydock the following month. Sets the standard back over hurdles. Easy hurdle winner in France in May; good run on stable debut (bled last time); contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/1 -20%) Seigneur Des As |
9/1(-20%) | (5) Seigneur Des As 9/1, Won over fences at Ludlow (23.8f) last February and returned to form when fifth there on final outing in April. Back over hurdles on first run for Anthony Charlton and has shown fair form previously. Won a 3m Ludlow handicap chase on good last year; mixed form over hurdles and fences since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/3 +0%) Broughshane |
10/3(+0%) | (3) Broughshane 10/3, Successful on sole start in Irish points and well backed prior to running out approaching home turn on Ascot hurdle bow. After 13 months off, ran well for a long way when third at Chepstow in December and yet to be asked for effort when falling 3 out back there 49 days ago. Remains with potential. Irish point winner; fair third on second hurdles start and is one worth considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (13/8 +64%) Jour D'evasion |
13/8(+64%) | (2) Jour D'evasion 13/8, Promise sole outing in bumpers and fair form over hurdles, opening his account in a 7-runner novice at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy) 13 days ago. Should be competitive under a penalty. Progressive novice; won over 2m last time; longer trip should suit; one with a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (250/1 -150%) Captain Howse |
250/1(-150%) | (4) Captain Howse 250/1, Modest handicapper on Flat and has offered little on his completed starts over hurdles. Fair Flat stayer; hasn't shown enough over hurdles to suggest he will take this.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although INEDIT STAR comes with risks attached having bled when runner-up over fences at Haydock in December, the six-year-old is hard to oppose on his return to timber. An 81-day layoff is likely to have benefitted Nick Kent's charge and he's taken to get the better of Broughshane. The gelded son of Mahler appeared to be travelling with verve when falling at the third-last hurdle at Chepstow in January. The returning Seigneur Des As may fare best of the remainder.
It's a little concerning INEDIT STAR bled/finished lame at Haydock when last seen, but he sets a useful standard back over hurdles and looks up to defying a penalty judged on his wide-margin win at Compiegne in May. Jour d'Evasion and Broughshane are feared most in that order.
Although Inedit Star has the best form he bled last time and recent JOUR D'EVASION could be a safer option.

1st (7) (11/1 -22%) Mount Gallion |
11/1(-22%) | (7) Mount Gallion 11/1, Regressed in bumpers in Ireland but has made an encouraging start over hurdles for this yard, very much catching the eye under considerate handling with fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) 18 days ago. Handicaps over further might be his bag but he's a live contender here. Has ability but doesn't appear to be crying out for this sharper test. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (125/1 -279%) Locken Lady |
125/1(-279%) | (10) Locken Lady 125/1, Snow Sky mare landed an Irish point in January but finished down the field on Rules debut at Southwell (15.8f, heavy, 25/1) last month. Needs to show more now hurdling. Suffered a heavy defeat in Southwell bumper on rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/10 +93%) Flash In The Park |
11/10(+93%) | (3) Flash In The Park 11/10, Fetched £350,000 after winning an Irish maiden point by 20 lengths in November 2022 but has only managed poor form in a pair of starts over hurdles so far and needs to improve to land a blow on qualifying run. Shapes as if this drop in distance is worth exploring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (150/1 -200%) Bathgate |
150/1(-200%) | (11) Bathgate 150/1, No encouragment from 2 starts in bumpers, racing freely when down the field at Warwick in January. Hard to fancy on hurdles bow. Hurdles debutante who has poor claims on bumper efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (9/2 -29%) Secret Sauce |
9/2(-29%) | (15) Secret Sauce 9/2, Fair performer on the Flat in Ireland, winning a 1m Gowran claimer last May. Strong in the market and produced by far his best effort over timber when second of 11 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 44 days ago, faring best of those held up. Player. Wasn't far off landing a gamble at Hereford last time; the pick of the 4yos in this field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (11/4 +31%) Jackpot Cash |
11/4(+31%) | (5) Jackpot Cash 11/4, Improved from hurdling debut when third of 8 in a novice event (2/1) at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 35 days ago, albeit underwhelming with his response off the bridle. Still rates amongst the form picks in this company and could do better still. Travelled well for a long way at Ludlow last time and is open to progress; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (200/1 -100%) Scout Master |
200/1(-100%) | (9) Scout Master 200/1, Maiden Irish pointer has offered little in 2 starts under Rules so far. Soundly beaten in both rules starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (125/1 -25%) Karakoy |
125/1(-25%) | (12) Karakoy 125/1, Fair winner on the Flat for Harry & Roger Charlton and cost new connections 30,000 gns in October. No promise to be taken from either start over hurdles so far, however. Has gone the wrong way since Flat win last June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (15/2 -36%) Badlands Boy |
15/2(-36%) | (2) Badlands Boy 15/2, Offered more than on hurdle debut when third of 10 over 17f at Sedgefield (heavy) last month. Possible frame claims again in this company if able to step forward again. Eyecatching third at Sedgefield five weeks ago; frame possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (150/1 -200%) Gregorian Diamond |
150/1(-200%) | (4) Gregorian Diamond 150/1, Modest bumper performer (first 2 outings for Fergal O'Brien) finished down the field on Flat debut for this yard in November. Hard to recommend switched to hurdling. Big turnaround is required on hurdles debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of SECRET SAUCE, who showed plenty on his second start for new connections when a promising runner-up at Hereford in January. This looks like an ideal opportunity to get off the mark and he is preferred to Jackpot Cash, who let down favourite-backers at Ludlow but wasn't disgraced. Others to note include Arthurian Fable, Badlands Boy and Mount Gallion.
JACKPOT CASH was a bit underwhelming at Ludlow last time but rather stands out in this company on that form and looks the way to go. Secret Sauce ran well when supported at Hereford and heads up the dangers ahead of Mount Gallion.
The vote goes to JACKPOT CASH, who travelled well for a long way last time and may progress. Secret Sauce is second choice.

1st (5) (11/10 +45%) Ruler Legend |
11/10(+45%) | (5) Ruler Legend 11/10, Useful Irish Flat performer in 2022. Nowhere near that level in 3 hurdle outings for current yard but could prove a different proposition in handicaps. Market support could prove significant. Became disappointing on the Flat but worth a market check on this handicap hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (15/2 +77%) Orbys River |
15/2(+77%) | (7) Orbys River 15/2, Failed to complete both starts in Irish points and only a modicum of promise over hurdles this winter, pulling up on Hereford handicap debut last month. Pulled up when upped to 2m5f for handicap debut; drops back in trip here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (15/2 +63%) Onnaroll |
15/2(+63%) | (8) Onnaroll 15/2, Just poor form over hurdles, making a significant impact on only one occasion, and hard to make a strong case for him from 2 lb out of the weights. Placed only one from 13 starts over hurdles and often spoils chance by refusing to settle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/4 +68%) Grasshopper Time |
7/4(+68%) | (2) Grasshopper Time 7/4, Fair ex-Irish maiden hurdler who ran her best race for this yard when third of 6 at Plumpton (2m, soft) 16 days ago. Needs to show he can build on that now. Initially disappointing in Britain but last month's Plumpton third was much better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (33/1 +34%) Chronos |
33/1(+34%) | (6) Chronos 33/1, Yet to trouble the judge and pulled up in a Huntingdon handicap when last seen 12 months ago. Can only be watched at present. Struggled in first three handicaps; returns from 13-month absence today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A relatively talented sort on the level who contested the Queen's Vase in 2022, RULER LEGEND has yet to put it together over hurdles but a mark of 91 on his handicap debut could underestimate the son of Camelot. In a winnable affair, he gets the vote ahead of Grasshopper Time and Sanitiser, who arguably ran a career-best when fourth at Kempton in November.
SANITISER and Ruler Legend are both very well treated in this sphere judged on Flat ability. Sanitiser was having only his second outing for Gary Moore when an encouraging fourth over hurdles at Kempton when last seen in November and is preferred before any market clues are known.
This can go to SANITISER who caught the eye when travelling well for a long way on his hurdling return at Kempton

Pearly Island |
(2) (9/4 +44%)9/4(+44%) | (2) Pearly Island 9/4, Scored twice over hurdles last season. Not quite as good over fences this term but produced best effort of present campaign when third in first-time headgear at Warwick (2½m, heavy). Backed that up when second at Fakenham so considered dropped in class. Ran well behind revitalised opponent at Fakenham last month; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Calvic |
(11) (10/3 +45%)10/3(+45%) | (11) Calvic 10/3, Point winner but only modest form under Rules for Lawney Hill. However, has joined a yard going great guns and on a good mark on pick of his form. 0-5 under rules for Lawney Hill but ran well for long way over C&D in October; yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Santa Clarita |
(12) (9/2 +10%)9/2(+10%) | (12) Santa Clarita 9/2, Low-key efforts upon returning this season but stopped the slide when second of 6 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f) early last month. Possibilities if she can replicate that. Ran game race in defeat at Ffos Las last month but now 0-8 in Britain. |

Eyed |
(10) (8/1 +20%)8/1(+20%) | (10) Eyed 8/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles last season below that level switched to fences this term, beaten 25 lengths when sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, heavy) 50 days ago. 0-3 over fences but ran quite well two starts ago; course hurdle winner last March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trapista |
(8) (8/1 -14%)8/1(-14%) | (8) Trapista 8/1, Winning hurdler who is proving expensive to follow in this sphere, taking record over fences to 0-11 when safely held at Catterick last time. Down to a dangerous mark but couldn't be sure that she'll be capitalising on the handicapper's mercy anytime soon. Continues to slide down the weights but this regressive mare is now 0-11 over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Aviles |
(4) (10/1 -67%)10/1(-67%) | (4) Aviles 10/1, Fair ex-French hurdler who found just one too good all 4 starts in juvenile/maiden hurdles last term. Again runner-up when going agonisingly close on return/chase debut at Fontwell but failed to build on that next 2 starts. Went close on chasing debut in November but yet to build on that performance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Generous Day |
(3) (14/1 -115%)14/1(-115%) | (3) Generous Day 14/1, Notched fifth career success over fences last season and, while yet to fire this term, his latest third over C&D was a more positive step. Claims if he can build on that. Long in the tooth now but posted sound effort when third over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Out On The Tear |
(5) (25/1 -257%)25/1(-257%) | (5) Out On The Tear 25/1, Wasted no time getting back to form when second at Sedgefield. Let down buy jumping at Southwell since but mark has eased another 2 lb and headgear now applied. No win since 2021 but quite consistent this season; a possible if aided by new cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Grasse D'oliverie |
(1) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (1) Grasse D'oliverie 33/1, French recruit who won handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) last spring. Given a considerate return from 7 months off at Wetherby but ran no sort of race back over fences next 2 starts. Won over hurdles last spring but in poor form this season, the last twice over fences. |

(7) (50/1 -150%)50/1(-150%) | (7) Top Of The Bay 50/1, No solid form under Rules so far. Makes handicap/chase debut (refused to race on second of 2 outings in points). Displayed promise in one of three novice hurdles this winter; makes chase/handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In a race where quite a few look to hold no secrets from the handicapper, it may pay to side with the less exposed AVILES. On his first start since undergoing wind surgery, Gary Moore's charge performed with credit when finishing third over 2m1f in a higher grade last month and he can come home in front now sent back up in trip. The main danger could be Santa Clarita, who races off an unchanged mark after finishing an admirable second over an extended 2m3f at Ffos Las last month, while Out On The Tear is also respected, especially if the application of cheekpieces perk him up.
It could be worth chancing CALVIC, who's potentially on a good mark on the pick of his form and is starting out for an in-form yard. Pearly Island is another to consider dropping in class, while Santa Clarita took a step back in the right direction when second at Ffos Las.
A course winner over hurdles, PEARLY ISLAND (nap) has dropped 2lb since chasing home a bang-in-form rival at Fakenham last month.

Lumi Plugin |
(8) (14/1 -100%)14/1(-100%) | (8) Lumi Plugin 14/1, Showed ability both starts in bumpers but longer trips are what he wants, so this might not provide a stiff enough test. Ran okay behind a good horse at Fakenham as he didn't appear to handle the track. |

Got A Dream |
(3) (40/1 -433%)40/1(-433%) | (3) Got A Dream 40/1, Getaway gelding who came in fifth of 9 in bumper at Warwick (16f, good, 10/1) on debut 5 months ago. Can build on it. Showed signs of ability with his fifth at Warwick (2m, good; 10-1) in October. |

Locked On |
(7) (100/1 -52%)100/1(-52%) | (7) Locked On 100/1, Brother to bumper winner but not a great deal of encouragement at Southwell first time out. Heavy ground perhaps not ideal at Southwell but was beaten a long way at 33-1. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FRENCH SYMPHONY arrives on the back of a third in a warm bumper at Doncaster in January, finishing just over three lengths behind a subsequent winner, and he can put that experience to good use to show his rivals the way home for the in-form Ben Pauling team. Ballywite warrants respect on his racecourse debut for his astute connections, while 72,000-euro purchase Jackpot D'ainay looked to be a work in progress when running green in a Wincanton bumper most recently and he commands respect with that introduction under his belt.
Two of STAR ARTIST's relatives have won bumpers for the same connections and this isn't the strongest race to be starting out in, so he's worth chancing on debut. French Symphony is the pick of those with experience and Ballywite is another notable newcomer on paper.
This might be a fair bumper. FRENCH SYMPHONY ran a solid race last time at Doncaster behind subsequent Listed winner Royal Infantry.

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.
