1st (1) (8/11 -9%) Alnilam |
8/11(-9%) | (1) Alnilam 8/11, Fairly useful winner on the Flat who left behind his hurdling debut form when easily landing 2m novice here in February. Not up to the Grade 2 Premier over C&D since but this is a lot easier for new yard. Key player. Impressed when winning here in February and will find this much easier than latest task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 -20%) Dollar Collar |
3/1(-20%) | (5) Dollar Collar 3/1, £30,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in October and much improved second time of asking under Rules when landing 2m Hexham maiden hurdle in the mud last month (odds-on second won next time). More to come and this longer trip will suit. Kept on too strongly for short-odds favourite at Hexham in February; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (22/1 -38%) Johnny Dogs |
22/1(-38%) | (2) Johnny Dogs 22/1, Off the mark in Irish points and followed up on his Rules/hurdles debut at Market Rasen (20.5f) in June. Too headstrong when distant fourth under a penalty here (22.5f) 7 months later and now drops significantly in trip with a hood also added. Work to do. Won small-field maiden last June but well beaten when reappearing here in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (9/2 +31%) Tigga Time |
9/2(+31%) | (9) Tigga Time 9/2, £30,000 buy after making a successful sole start in points. Has offered a bit in Catterick bumper and Newcastle novice hurdle and should do better in time. Shaped with significant promise in first two hurdling starts but has a bit to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (150/1 -50%) Beat The Boum |
150/1(-50%) | (4) Beat The Boum 150/1, Hasn't shown much in 2 starts under Rules so far and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Did not show a great deal in his two hurdling starts during the winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (125/1 -25%) Rock N Roll Champ |
125/1(-25%) | (7) Rock N Roll Champ 125/1, €14,000 3-y-o, Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful chaser Another Stowaway and fair hurdler/useful chase winner Sholokjack. Maiden in Irish points. Showed nothing more than minor promise in five Irish points; rules debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (66/1 -32%) Wainwright |
66/1(-32%) | (10) Wainwright 66/1, Showed a bit when 17 lengths sixth of 8 starting out in a 2m maiden here in October. Failed to match that form at Hexham a month later. Looks more one for handicaps after this. Not disgraced on debut in October but absent since heavy defeat in November. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (150/1 +0%) Midnight Alnwicky |
150/1(+0%) | (11) Midnight Alnwicky 150/1, Sent off big odds and no impact in all 3 starts over hurdles. Struggled to get competitive when a big-priced outsider in first three hurdling starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (150/1 -50%) National Question |
150/1(-50%) | (12) National Question 150/1, Brother to a useful hurdler but has shown just modest form at best on the Flat and been well held in 2 spins over hurdles. Well-beaten outsider in first two hurdling starts (1m7f/2m). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|B| (8) (150/1 +0%) The Roc Hopper |
150/1(+0%) | (8) The Roc Hopper 150/1, Well held in bumper at Hexham/novice hurdle at Ayr. Hood goes on. Made low-key bumper debut and was also well beaten on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (7/1 -27%) Ozzy Cosmo |
7/1(-27%) | (3) Ozzy Cosmo 7/1, Fourth sole start in Irish points and promising start under Rules when landing 12-runner 2m Ayr novice in December (second has won twice since). Looked beaten when falling 3 out over further back there 5 weeks ago but remains with potential and tackles interim trip here for in-form yard. Good winner at Ayr on rules debut in December; fell heavily last month; still considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (150/1 -127%) Racquet Club |
150/1(-127%) | (6) Racquet Club 150/1, Three runs on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh in spring 2022, showing promise on the third occasion. Off for nearly 2 years ahead of this switch to hurdles. Showed some ability on final of three Irish Flat starts in spring 2022; hurdle debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ALNILAM bolted up over 2m here two starts ago before being highly tried and put in his place in Grade 2 company over track and trip last month. The son of Sea The Stars has since switched to the in-form Olly Murphy yard and he could have too much class for these. Dollar Collar got off the mark on her second start over the smaller obstacles at Hexham and, with improvement forthcoming, she could have a say. Of the remainder, Tigga Time makes the most appeal.
ALNILAM will find this much easier than the Grade 2 Premier he contested here last month and can get back on track with victory. Dollar Collar, who beat a subsequent winner at Hexham, and Ozzy Cosmo are the dangers.
This looks good for ALNILAM, who cruised to a 2m course win in February and can be excused his subsequent Grade 2 defeat.

Both Barrels |
(5) (15/8 +58%)15/8(+58%) | (5) Both Barrels 15/8, Made the frame all 3 starts in bumpers last season and similar story over hurdles this time round, bumping into one and doing well to see off the remainder in spite of a sloppy round of jumping on handicap debut at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 7 weeks ago. Remains unexposed so he's considered. Clear second to much improved rival on handicap debut in February; same mark today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Artic Mann |
(7) (4/1 +33%)4/1(+33%) | (7) Artic Mann 4/1, Has made the frame all 6 runs since returning from a lengthy absence in October, latest when 3¼ lengths second of 8 to Gypsey's Secret at Carlisle (25f, soft) 16 days ago. Shouldn't be far away. Very consistent since returning from long layoff this season and runs this track well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Woodie Flash |
(2) (11/2 -38%)11/2(-38%) | (2) Woodie Flash 11/2, Irish point winner who got back on the up to double his tally at Warwick (26f) in November, looking well suited by the longer trip. Possibly found the race coming too soon at Lingfield next time but resumed progress after 4 months off at Market Rasen (23.1f, heavy) last month. Player up 3 lb. Finished well to win at Market Rasen last month and is now 3-8 over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gypsey's Secret |
(8) (6/1 -71%)6/1(-71%) | (8) Gypsey's Secret 6/1, Got off the mark aged 9 despite being 5 lb out of the handicap at Carlisle (25f, soft) 16 days ago, beating Artic Mann by 3¼ lengths. Drops back in trip and clearly an improved model of late, there's every chance she will kick on now up and running. Off the mark over hurdles at 12th attempt, keeping on well at Carlisle (3m1f) last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lahardaun |
(9) (7/1 -40%)7/1(-40%) | (9) Lahardaun 7/1, Placed on both of his completed starts in Irish points and showed improved form to get off the mark when winning handicap at Hexham (20.1f, heavy) 24 days ago, suited by the emphasis on stamina at the trip. Runner-up that day rather handed it him, but he's lightly raced and should improve. Battled well to win at Hexham last month and has scope for further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Step Above |
(3) (10/1 +0%)10/1(+0%) | (3) Step Above 10/1, Winning Irish pointer who made a successful hurdles debut at Ayr last season. Hasn't really progressed over fences this term but made a creditable return to hurdles when third in a first-time visor over C&D in February. Let down by jumping since, however. Placed over C&D in February but needs to bounce back from lesser run last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pavlik |
(6) (16/1 -33%)16/1(-33%) | (6) Pavlik 16/1, Improved when making a successful handicap debut at this track (20.9f) in November 2022. Well held both starts this season but has possibly been working his way back to full fitness. Can't be dismissed following another couple of months off. Course winner in 2022 but back from layoff with two disappointing runs this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wild Polly |
(10) (33/1 -65%)33/1(-65%) | (10) Wild Polly 33/1, Dropping in the weights but ended last season out of sorts and hasn't offered a great deal of encouragement this year. More severe headgear enlisted but can only be watched. Out of form this season; revival needed in new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bushypark |
(1) (40/1 -186%)40/1(-186%) | (1) Bushypark 40/1, Inconsistent nowadays but back to form when taking advantage of lower hurdles mark at Haydock (3m, heavy) in December. Below form all 3 starts since so needs first-time cheekpieces to spark some sort of revival (now just 1 lb above his last winning mark). Quickly back in the doldrums since Haydock win in December; cheekpieces tried today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hell On Earth |
(11) (125/1 -89%)125/1(-89%) | (11) Hell On Earth 125/1, Remains a maiden after 26 runs and was way too free returning from 5 months off before departing 3 out at Ayr (24.3f, good) last month (tongue tied). Well out of the weights and looks an easy swerve again. Ran well to a point last month but looked held before he fell; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Lahardaun made every yard to score over 2m4f at Hexham last month and he is likely to go well once again in first-time cheekpieces. However, the vote goes to BOTH BARRELS, who only found the favourite too good when hitting the crossbar over an extended 2m4f at Ayr in February and he makes only his second handicap start off the same rating, so looks the way to go. Last-time-out winner Gypsey's Secret holds an obvious chance too.
GYPSEY'S SECRET belatedly opened her account when beating Artic Mann by 3¼ lengths at Carlisle recently and Sandy Forster's 9-y-o is fancied to kick on now up and running at the expense of Lahardaun, who was a shade fortunate to score at Hexham last month but is lightly raced and should have more to offer. Woodie Flash scored under this rider last month and he can edge out Both Barrels for third.
This can go to BOTH BARRELS (nap), who ran well in defeat on his handicap debut at Ayr in February and should still have more to offer.

Grand Voyage |
(5) (4/1 +20%)4/1(+20%) | (5) Grand Voyage 4/1, Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, heavy) 8 days ago, finishing well under a patient ride. Interesting off a reduced mark. Ran better last time at Carlisle but again he didn't really threaten from off the pace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Empty Nest |
(8) (4/1 +20%)4/1(+20%) | (8) Empty Nest 4/1, Faliled to build on earlier promise when a below form third of 6 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, soft, 6/4) 82 days ago. Remains handily weighted so shouldn't be written off with few miles on the clock, Good or good to soft ground seems ideal so could do with conditions drying out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Largy Train |
(4) (5/1 -82%)5/1(-82%) | (4) Largy Train 5/1, Completed a hat-trick in 6-runner handicap chase (6/4) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) 16 days ago by 3¾ lengths from The White Volcano. Up another 7 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. Something has clicked having won his last three races from the front; up another 7lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Indian Louis |
(3) (11/2 +8%)11/2(+8%) | (3) Indian Louis 11/2, Dual point winner who made a winning chase debut at Musselburgh (2½m) on New Year's Day. Good third of 6 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) 49 days ago. Enters calculations once more eased 1 lb. Winning debut over fences; not far away last time at Ayr despite some iffy jumping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Raceview Road |
(6) (6/1 +14%)6/1(+14%) | (6) Raceview Road 6/1, Multiple point winner who has been placed only start in bumpers and a pair of 2m4f Newcastle novice hurdles. No forlorn hope now going chasing. Eyecatching Irish form; well held in two hurdles for this yard but now goes chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Everyday Champagne |
(2) (10/1 -25%)10/1(-25%) | (2) Everyday Champagne 10/1, First run since leaving Nicky Richards when bagging 12-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f) in November. Tongue tied when a creditable fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, soft) 48 days ago so needs considering. Ayr winner three runs back; tongue-tie tried last time is removed and could revive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Toombridge |
(9) (14/1 +30%)14/1(+30%) | (9) Toombridge 14/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and posted his best run of the season when third of 6 to Largy Train in handicap chase (14/1) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) on his debut over fences 16 days ago. Not discounted. Held by Largy Train on their Carlisle clash but he has each-way hopes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The White Volcano |
(12) (20/1 -67%)20/1(-67%) | (12) The White Volcano 20/1, It's now 25 runs since his last win in 2019 but he got back on track when second of 6 to Largy Train in handicap chase (18/1) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) 16 days ago. Possibilities. Poor strike-rate but returned to form when dividing Largy Train and Toombridge at Carlisle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Keep Wondering |
(1) (25/1 -25%)25/1(-25%) | (1) Keep Wondering 25/1, Fourteen runs since his last win in 2021 and pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Long time since he won a race and this season's two thirds came at about 3m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Iwa |
(7) (28/1 -133%)28/1(-133%) | (7) Iwa 28/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in France but yet to match that form in two hurdling runs for his current yard at Catterick and Newcastle. Needs this switch back to fences to spark improvement. Not that competitive over hurdles or fences since returning from a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ex S'elance |
(11) (33/1 -65%)33/1(-65%) | (11) Ex S'elance 33/1, Dual chase winner with quite a consistent record. Probably needed the run after 4 months off when pulled up in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) 57 days ago so can take a step forward now. In good form last spring and he's capable of bouncing back from a no-show; mark is fine. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LARGY TRAIN is seeking the four-timer after justifying favouritism at Carlisle on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 7lb for that success. Harry Hogarth's seven-year-old continues to improve and he can go in again, with his main danger likely to be Indian Louis. The son of Mahler is 1lb lower than his close-up third in a class 4 event at Ayr last time and has to be of interest, while Empty Nest also has claims.
Lots of these enter calculations but the vote goes to GRAND VOYAGE who hinted at a revival when fourth at Carlisle last time and now figures on an attractive mark. Empty Nest fluffed his lines at Catterick but still heads the list of dangers at these weights with Indian Louis, Stowaway John and Largy Train all in the mix too.
Largy Train will no doubt go well again but INDIAN LOUIS can jump better than when close up last time at Ayr and he gets the nod.

Val Dancer |
(5) (2/1 +60%)2/1(+60%) | (5) Val Dancer 2/1, In first-time cheekpieces, much improved when justifying support in handicap at Leicester in December and has scored at Wetherby and Catterick since. Shaped as if still in form when third at Uttoxeter last time and needs considering. Had a good spell but now has to prove himself worthy of this high a mark at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Your Own Story |
(2) (9/2 -64%)9/2(-64%) | (2) Your Own Story 9/2, Several creditable efforts before opening account over fences at Wetherby (30.9f) in March of last year and acquitted himself well in Scottish Grand National on final start of season. Figures off a handy mark and should be straighter for last month's solid Newcastle reappearance second. Player. Last season's Scottish National sixth; should come on for his good reappearance run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prince Des Fichaux |
(6) (5/1 -67%)5/1(-67%) | (6) Prince Des Fichaux 5/1, Very good second of 12 in Eider Chase (11/1) at Newcastle (33.2f, soft) 51 days ago. Back down in trip but remains in the picture. Bang there the last twice over 2m7f and 4m1f; career-high mark but improving. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Charlie Uberalles |
(3) (6/1 -50%)6/1(-50%) | (3) Charlie Uberalles 6/1, Dual 3m chase winner in 2022. Pulled up at Doncaster last time but posted a good third away from the mud when third in Premier Handicap there (3m) in January. Remains lightly raced for his age so warrants respect. Good and bad in some strong handicaps; soft ground is a cause for concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No Risk Des Flos |
(1) (13/2 -18%)13/2(-18%) | (1) No Risk Des Flos 13/2, Dual chase scorer (at up to 19.4f) last term and matched best effort of this campaign when fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Not discounted. Unexposed over this far and seemed to stay the 3m okay at Sandown last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Up Helly Aa King |
(4) (13/2 +24%)13/2(+24%) | (4) Up Helly Aa King 13/2, Likeable chaser who landed 3m Ayr handicap in January. Rare poor run when fourth of five at Newcastle last time so this veteran is in the mix. Having a good season in the main; below best last time but could bounce back from that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Prince Des Fichaux was only collared in the final strides in the Eider Chase at Newcastle in February. However, the combination of a 5lb rise in the ratings and marked drop in trip may leave the seven-year-old vulnerable, with NO RISK DES FLOS making most appeal. Olly Murphy's charge was given a lot to do on his first attempt over 3m when fourth at Sandown last month and a race of this nature looks within his compass. Your Own Story is unlikely to be far away either.
None of these can be ruled out but the vote goes to YOUR OWN STORY who should strip fitter for his reappearance Newcastle second and can go one better off a handy-looking mark. Charlie Uberalles is another weighted to go well with in-form duo Val Dancer and No Risk Des Flos also in the picture.
Last season's Scottish National sixth YOUR OWN STORY arrives here fresh and on the back of an encouraging reappearance.

Eire Street |
(9) (3/1 +45%)3/1(+45%) | (9) Eire Street 3/1, Much improved for new yard, easily winning heavy-ground handicaps at Carlisle (17f) and Ayr (20.5f) in February. Could easily be more to come and a further 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent him making a bold bid for the hat-trick. 2-2 in handicaps (2m1f/2m4f) and seemingly in a steep upward curve; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eloi Du Puy |
(3) (7/1 +7%)7/1(+7%) | (3) Eloi Du Puy 7/1, Has improved since switched to handicaps, making it 4 wins in his last 5 completed starts when edging out Forged Well over C&D (soft) 5 weeks ago. A further 4 lb rise is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this progressive 6-y-o. Four wins this season, three of them over C&D; might still be on the upgrade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Harper Valley |
(1) (9/1 -20%)9/1(-20%) | (1) Harper Valley 9/1, Third success of a productive season when seeing off 6 rivals over 19f at Catterick in February. Travelled like one still on a good mark when 3 lengths third of 10 to reopposing Eloi du Puy over C&D since. Respected. 3-9 over hurdles; gave good account when placed over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kilta |
(5) (9/1 -50%)9/1(-50%) | (5) Kilta 9/1, Showed much improved form to get off the mark in 5-runner handicap at Southwell (2m, heavy) last month and bettered that form when ½-length second of 8 to Yealand at Haydock (19f, soft) 17 days ago, finishing strongly. This slightly longer trip should suit even better. High on the shortlist. Won comfortably on last month's handicap debut and ran big race in defeat last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Forged Well |
(8) (10/1 +0%)10/1(+0%) | (8) Forged Well 10/1, Point recruit who created a good impression when making successful hurdle debut in Carlisle novice (19f) in December. Pulled up on Newcastle handicap debut but quickly back on track when short-head second of 10 to reopposing Eloi Du Puy over C&D (soft) 36 days ago. Bounced back from poor handicap debut when very close second over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Les's Legacy |
(13) (10/1 +29%)10/1(+29%) | (13) Les's Legacy 10/1, Three-time hurdle winner last season, including this race off an identical mark. Drawn a blank this term but back to form when second at Newcastle 4 weeks ago, suggesting he could be primed for another bold bid in this contest. Won this race off today's mark a year ago and looked back in good form last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Faithfulflyer |
(15) (11/1 +39%)11/1(+39%) | (15) Faithfulflyer 11/1, Dual winner last season (including here) and also runner-up in a Series Final at Musselburgh. Hasn't hit the same heights this term but his mark has eased as a result and it wouldn't be any surprise to see him bounce back to form with a bang. Yet to build upon his pleasing seasonal debut; has more to prove than several of these. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
North Parade |
(2) (14/1 -115%)14/1(-115%) | (2) North Parade 14/1, Has struck up a good relationship with 7 lb claimer William Maggs this winter, completing a Newcastle hat-trick and placed at Wetherby and Haydock last twice. Yard won this 2 years ago. Won three times at Newcastle during the winter and was placed on last two outings; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kingston Bridge |
(12) (16/1 -14%)16/1(-14%) | (12) Kingston Bridge 16/1, Placed twice in handicaps towards the end of 2023 but his last 2 runs have been a little disappointing. Others are obvious. Placed over 2m6f here in December but disappointed over C&D last month; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dream Boy |
(11) (16/1 +27%)16/1(+27%) | (11) Dream Boy 16/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points and also struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in 2m course maiden (heavy) just after Christmas. Creditable 7 lengths fourth on C&D handicap debut 4 weeks ago but 3 of today's rivals were ahead of him. Very respectable fourth over C&D on handicap debut; 1lb drop not enough to tempt, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Singapore Trip |
(7) (18/1 -13%)18/1(-13%) | (7) Singapore Trip 18/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler in France and placed in handicaps at Newcastle and Wetherby around the turn of the year for new yard. A bit too keen for his own good when a well-held fourth at Catterick latest. Hughes back in the plate now. Below form last time but was placed in good-quality Wetherby handicap two starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Zwicky |
(14) (18/1 -100%)18/1(-100%) | (14) Zwicky 18/1, Perfect start to this season, bagging back-to-back handicaps at Sedgefield and Carlisle. Has found it tougher from higher marks since but latest Catterick third was highly creditable as the race wasn't run to suit his hold-up style. Sound effort when placed at Catterick last month but needs to find hidden reserves here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Paddy The Horse |
(10) (20/1 -11%)20/1(-11%) | (10) Paddy The Horse 20/1, Won off higher marks last season and confirmed his return to form when second of 5 over 2m at Hexham 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Another who can't be discounted. Placed on last two outings but others appeal more all the same. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Libor Lad |
(16) (25/1 -56%)25/1(-56%) | (16) Libor Lad 25/1, Winner of 2½m handicaps in the mud at Uttoxeter and Doncaster this winter. Checked out tamely when only seventh of 9 at Doncaster latest so needs first-time cheekpieces (which are added to his regular tongue tie) help him to bounce straight back to form. Took form to whole new level when winning comfortably two starts ago; safey held since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Wholeofthemoon |
(6) (66/1 -371%)66/1(-371%) | (6) Wholeofthemoon 66/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who left his previous hurdle efforts behind when making a successful handicap debut over 19.5f at Doncaster in December. Creditable placed efforts on both starts since but will need a bit more to overcome this mark. Both runs since 80-1 win were perfectly respectable; needs to kick on again, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Moonlight Glory |
(4) (66/1 -65%)66/1(-65%) | (4) Moonlight Glory 66/1, Three wins in a productive season but well held in a similarly competitive handicap at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago, suggesting her mark is about right for now. Unable to land a of blow in another of these series finals at Musselburgh last week.. |

Having completed a quick-fire double at Ayr in February with some authority, EIRE STREET is taken to defy a further 8lb rise in the ratings. Jackie Stephen's gelding has proved a different proposition since handicapping and there looks to be more in the locker. The main threat may emerge from the progressive Eloi Du Puy, who has enjoyed a fruitful campaign with four victories to his name, while North Parade should give another good account.
EIRE STREET was the ready winner of his first 2 handicaps in February and could easily still be well treated after an 8 lb rise. Kilta is another who has quickly made his mark in handicaps and is second choice ahead of the thriving Eloi Du Puy. Hold-up performer Zwicky should be picking off a few late if getting a good pace to aim at, while Faithfulflyer is well treated if a short break helps to spark a revival.
Eire Street launched his handicap career with two emphatic wins but preference is for KILTA, who also still has potential.

Atlantic Dancer |
(1) (9/4 +55%)9/4(+55%) | (1) Atlantic Dancer 9/4, Won twice last spring and looked better than ever when landing a second C&D success in mares handicap (heavy) in December. Left behind a lesser effort when third at Ayr (16f, good) last time and she can make another bold bid. Reliable winner of this last year; latest Ayr third was fine and returning here is a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Celestial Fashion |
(7) (7/2 -40%)7/2(-40%) | (7) Celestial Fashion 7/2, Gained reward for her good run of form when opening her account in conditionals handicap at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) 20 days ago. Could be capable of scoring again now that she's up and running. Beat an in-form horse at Newcastle and she tried hard enough; 6lb higher for this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lexie's Moon |
(4) (4/1 +0%)4/1(+0%) | (4) Lexie's Moon 4/1, Showed improved form under a positive ride when winning maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) last month. Ran at least as well when fourth in mares novice at Kempton (16f, good to soft) next time, so she's one to note now handicapping. Good run under a penalty latest and brings potential into handicaps off this sort of mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bridgetjoans |
(5) (6/1 -20%)6/1(-20%) | (5) Bridgetjoans 6/1, Only poor form in her first 4 starts under Rules but, in first-time visor, she took a step forward when second of 11 in female riders handicap at Catterick (19.3f, soft) in February. Merits consideration. Second in the new visor last time; up 2lb and in a higher grade here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spit Spot |
(2) (7/1 -56%)7/1(-56%) | (2) Spit Spot 7/1, Fair performer on the Flat and has run to a similar level over hurdles for her current yard, bumping into a thriving sort when runner-up in mares handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, heavy) last month. Can give another good account upped in trip. Still early days over hurdles and ran a respectable first race in handicaps at Doncaster. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chosen Hero |
(3) (12/1 -71%)12/1(-71%) | (3) Chosen Hero 12/1, Fair bumper winner who, with cheekpieces added, made it fourth time lucky over hurdles in mares novice company at Chepstow (16.1f, heavy) in January. Ran no sort of race when pulled up on Exeter handicap debut since, though. Better than she showed last time at Exeter and is well treated on some of her form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lady Hamilton |
(6) (16/1 +20%)16/1(+20%) | (6) Lady Hamilton 16/1, Best effort over hurdles came when third in mares maiden at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) last March. Hasn't gone on from that since, though possibly needed the run after 11 weeks off (from Flat) when well beaten at Market Rasen last time. Maiden under both codes; heavy ground an excuse last time but others appeal more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CELESTIAL FASHION was rewarded for her consistency when opening her account at Newcastle last month. The daughter of Telescope is effectively racing off the same mark now that Joe Williamson's 3lb claim can be used, and a brace could be on the horizon. Bridgetjoans is relatively unexposed and she posted her best effort to date when runner-up in a first-time visor at Catterick in February. Simon Waugh's mare is a viable alternative to the selection, with C&D winner Atlantic Dancer also noted.
CELESTIAL FASHION has been going the right way this season and gained a first success of her career at Newcastle last time, rallying to get the better of the odds-on favourite, so she is taken to follow up in her current form. Dual C&D winner Atlantic Dancer ran well at Ayr on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of Lexie's Moon.
The 6yo LEXIE'S MOON held her own against higher-rated opposition at Kempton and she's of strong interest with Brian Hughes booked.

Soldier Of Rock |
(4) (8/11 +42%)8/11(+42%) | (4) Soldier Of Rock 8/11, Half-brother to a point winner and opened his account between the flags at the fourth attempt last month. Very much one to consider on this Rules debut on the back of that wide-margin success. Won easily by 18l on last month's British point debut at Hutton Rudby. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bentley Road |
(8) (11/2 -22%)11/2(-22%) | (8) Bentley Road 11/2, Fetched €26,000 as a 3-y-o and he's closely related to useful hurdler/chaser On The Bridge and fairly useful hurdler Fairytale Theatre. Placed last 2 starts between the flags and needs considering on Rules debut with a very capable amateur aboard. Low-mileage 5yo who was placed in two maiden points last month; rules debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Red Opium |
(9) (9/1 -227%)9/1(-227%) | (9) Red Opium 9/1, Successful 3 times from 19 appearances in points and placed all 4 completed starts in that sphere since the turn of the year. Pulled up both runs in hunter chases last spring, which tempers enthusiasm somewhat, but she has to enter calculations in what looks a very winnable race. Largely in good form in points this year and can make her presence felt here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Toucan Sam |
(5) (9/1 -157%)9/1(-157%) | (5) Toucan Sam 9/1, Not without promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles for this yard back in summer 2022. Pulled up both starts in handicap chases this season following a 14-month layoff but he was runner-up in a point 23 days ago and is well worth a second look here. In poor form over hurdles this winter but was second in a recent maiden point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Whatsgoingon |
(7) (10/1 +38%)10/1(+38%) | (7) Whatsgoingon 10/1, Offered little in Catterick bumper and a novice hurdle here at the end of 2021. Not seen out under Rules since and while he has made the frame on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts in points, one or two of these are more appealing. In the frame in three maiden points since returning from a break in December; new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Watch Law |
(6) (28/1 +15%)28/1(+15%) | (6) Watch Law 28/1, Closely related to a point winner and hit the target twice between the flags in the early part of last year. However, he struggled in that sphere when returning from a 10-month absence 23 days ago and latest effort under Rules (in a maiden hurdle) resulted in a heavy defeat. Dual point winner in early 2023; may have needed last month's reappearance run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Any Job Will Do |
(3) (33/1 -136%)33/1(-136%) | (3) Any Job Will Do 33/1, Poor maiden hurdler who has failed to complete on 4 of his 5 starts in this sphere (well beaten on the occasion that he did complete here last April). Successful in a point last month but opposable back under Rules all the same. Caused 12-1 surprise in a maiden point last month; now needs to build on that performance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Alone No More |
(1) (33/1 +18%)33/1(+18%) | (1) Alone No More 33/1, Rules form is pretty uninspiring and he failed to threaten in a couple of runs between the flags during the winter. Best to look elsewhere. Safely held in both points this year and evidently not the force of old. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Amma Lord |
(2) (33/1 +18%)33/1(+18%) | (2) Amma Lord 33/1, Placed once in a handicap hurdle for Rebecca Menzies back in 2021 and winner of a point for this yard last spring. Hasn't shown much in 2 starts between the flags so far this year, though, and he's hard to warm on this hunter chase debut. Point winner in March 2023 but has struggled on both outings this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
She Is The Enemy |
(10) (40/1 -150%)40/1(-150%) | (10) She Is The Enemy 40/1, Has made the frame on 2 of her 3 starts in points but she was 15 lengths adrift of Toucan Sam last time. Others preferred. Ran well for a long way in three maiden points this year; needs to last longer today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SOLDIER OF ROCK is very much the one to beat in here judged on this year's point-to-point form. He finished a head second in that sphere in February before going one better last month, and this looks a really good opening for the six-year-old now he's under Rules. Red Opium heads the list of dangers from recent point runner-up Toucan Sam.
Not an easy race to weigh up, with most of the form on offer from the pointing field. SOLDIER OF ROCK was a facile winner of his latest start between the flags and is more appealing than most. Toucan Sam is the one with the best form under Rules and, having finished a clear second in a point last time, he is feared most ahead of Bentley Road and Red Opium.
The most obvious answer is SOLDIER OF ROCK, who delivered on promise shown in Ireland when winning easily on his British point debut.

Kapal Layar |
(3) (9/4 -13%)9/4(-13%) | (3) Kapal Layar 9/4, €72,000 Milan gelding. Brother to bumper winner/useful hurdler Nina The Terrier. Makes plenty of appeal yard with fine record in this discipline. Out of a well-connected bumper winner; stable does well in bumpers; appeals on paper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Inoue |
(10) (16/5 +9%)16/5(+9%) | (10) Inoue 16/5, €28,000 Walk In The Park gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fellow Mag and Bois Sans Soif. Brian Hughes up for yard always to be feared in these events in Britain. French-bred newcomer; Irish trainer does well in British bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Red Cadillac |
(5) (6/1 +14%)6/1(+14%) | (5) Red Cadillac 6/1, Jukebox Jury gelding who has made the frame in bumpers at Carlisle and Newcastle in recent weeks. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Made the frame on his first two appearances and represents stable with good bumper record. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bespoke Tailor |
(9) (13/2 +84%)13/2(+84%) | (9) Bespoke Tailor 13/2, €6,000 Malinas gelding. Half-brother to temperamental but fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Invincible Cave. The stable does get the occasional bumper winner. Out of half-sister to smart hurdler Katies Tuitor; worth a glance in the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Balking |
(1) (8/1 +11%)8/1(+11%) | (1) Balking 8/1, Related to a winner over jumps in France and showed ability when fourth of 12 on C&D debut (soft) in February. Could step forward from that. Kept on pretty well for fourth over C&D on debut in February; considered each-way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kellermann |
(11) (10/1 +60%)10/1(+60%) | (11) Kellermann 10/1, Battle of Marengo gelding. Half-brother to useful staying hurdler/smart 2¼m chase winner Perceval Legallois and bumper winner/fair chaser Wavelength. One of 2 from the stable. The betting should provide more clues. Half-brother to useful jumper Perceval Legallois; stablemate of Lance Les Des. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lance Les Des |
(4) (16/1 -14%)16/1(-14%) | (4) Lance Les Des 16/1, 12/1, held back by inexperience when fifth of 12 on C&D debut (soft) 8 weeks ago, with the reopposing Balking narrowly ahead in fourth. Shaped with promise before fading into fifth over C&D on debut in February; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fujita Scale |
(2) (22/1 -38%)22/1(-38%) | (2) Fujita Scale 22/1, Snow Sky gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Themoonandsixpence. Stable gets the odd bumper winner so worth a second look in the market. Brother to a point winner; dam half-sister to a useful bumper winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Where's Willy |
(8) (50/1 +24%)50/1(+24%) | (8) Where's Willy 50/1, Black Sam Bellamy gelding who was fourth in a point bumper in January. Probably best watched. Beaten about 28l when fourth of eight in soft-ground point bumper in January. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Olly Murphy enjoyed a winner in this sphere at Market Rasen recently and newcomers representing this yard are always respected. Kapal Layar is therefore considered, along with Irish point-to-point winner The Final Word. The vote is for RED NED, though, who has experience on his side and would have a great chance if coming back to the form of his Southwell second in November.
Those with experience don't set the bar that high so this may go to a newcomer, with KAPAL LAYAR the suggestion for a stable with a very healthy 22% strike-rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Inoue is another debutant from a yard which does well in bumpers, while Red Cadillac may prove best of those who have already seen the racecourse.
Top of the list is KAPAL LAYAR, who has an attractive pedigree and represents a stable that does very well in bumpers.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
