1st (1)  (11/10 +45%)Georgi Girl |
11/10(+45%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Georgi Girl 11/10, Gained valuable experience in junior hurdles last season and doubled his tally with a bloodless 19-length success at Sandown (16f, heavy) a fortnight ago. Has scope for better still, so she may well take some stopping especially if any rain falls. Easily justified favouritism at Sandown two weeks ago; could well improve further. |
|||
2nd (4)  (11/4 +66%)Amelia's Dance |
11/4(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Amelia's Dance 11/4, Added to an excellent record at Taunton when winning in December 2022. Lost her way last spring but back on song of late, runner-up in 3 of her last 4 starts, latest when beaten 16 lengths by a well-treated rival at Newbury just under 6 weeks ago. Largely consistent form this term includes a close second here in November. |
|||
3rd (3)  (14/1 -75%)Mucuna |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mucuna 14/1, Just a modest Flat winner but quickly made up into a better hurdler in summer 2022, winning 4 juveniles. Shaped as if retaining ability in that sphere back from 18 months off at Newbury in December and similar comments applied for her recent spin on the all-weather last month. Record suggests she'll be more interesting when back on good ground. |
|||
4th (2)  (28/1 -12%)On My Command |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) On My Command 28/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles for Harry Fry but following another yard switch, offered little sent chasing sole outing for Nicky Henderson 14 months ago. Betting should prove a useful guide returned to hurdling on debut for another new yard. Absent for 14 months; debut for new yard; market can guide. |
|||
5th (7)  (11/2 +73%)No No Tonic |
11/2(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) No No Tonic 11/2, Dual winner last term and put up a couple of solid placed efforts in recent months. Has never looked a 3-miler but was in trouble too far out to blame the trip alone at Wincanton on Boxing Day so she needs to leave that behind back down in distance. Veteran who has done her winning at Wincanton; not the percentage call. |
|||
6th (8)  (15/2 +25%)Parikarma |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Parikarma 15/2, Taunton novice winner (16.5f) last season who added another victory to her tally in 6-runner claiming hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) last month, not that it looked likely for most of the way. Looks one to take on back in a handicap. Fortunate to win Leicester claimer last month; unlikely to follow up. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GEORGI GIRL ran out a very easy winner on her latest outing on Grand Military day at Sandown a fortnight ago and commands the utmost respect, especially with Elizabeth Gale's 8lb claim to aid her cause. Smurfette has shown promise on both hurdles outings to date and has to enter calculations making her handicap bow from the foot of the weights. Amelia's Dance and Mucuna are others to consider.
This could boil down to a match between GEORGI GIRL and Smurfette, with preference for the former having handled testing conditions with aplomb at Sandown a fortnight ago, and with plenty of rain in the forecast, she could well take some stopping. Dan Skelton's mare makes a quick switch to handicaps and she makes plenty appeal from an opening mark of 100, with Amelia's Dance seemingly best of the remainder.
Sandown scorer GEORGI GIRL could well show further progress. Smurfette and Notnowlinda give Dan Skelton an interesting hand.

1st (2)  (1/6 +79%)Masaccio |
1/6(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Masaccio 1/6, Useful bumper winner who returned from 6 months off to make a successful start over hurdles in a Chepstow maiden (19.5f, heavy) in October. Better form in defeat at Newbury since whilst seeming to have his limitations exposed. Obvious claims back in calmer waters. Has performed very well against smart opposition since winning hurdle debut; major player. |
|||
2nd (13)  (22/1 +12%)Tough Approach |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Tough Approach 22/1, Finished second in a point and again showed promise when third in a Newton Abbot bumper in October but has made a discouraging start to his hurdle career. Placed in a bumper but has dropped out of contention quickly on both hurdling starts. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6/1 +57%)Defi Nonantais |
6/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Defi Nonantais 6/1, Finished third on his sole outing in Irish points. Showed more than on hurdling debut when fourth of 10 in a Plumpton novice (20.5f) 18 days ago but will be of more interest in handicaps after this run. Fairly respectable fourth at Plumpton last month but others have much stronger form. |
|||
4th (9)  (22/1 +56%)There's Claude |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) There's Claude 22/1, Placed all 3 starts in points but has made little impact in a brace of maiden hurdles. Has a modicum of ability but faces a tough task here. |
|||
5th (8)  (50/1 +50%)Pescatorius |
50/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pescatorius 50/1, No show in bumpers/novice hurdles. Showed nothing more than minor promise on first two hurdling starts; handicaps beckon. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (15/2 +63%)Just One Surf |
15/2(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Just One Surf 15/2, Placed both starts in Irish points and has shaped reasonably well in Market Rasen bumper/Fontwell novice hurdle, but is possibly more one for handicaps a bit further down the line. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Placed in two points and a bumper but his hurdling debut was disappointing. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (40/1 +20%)Dance To Fame |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dance To Fame 40/1, Successful on the last of 4 starts in Irish points but finished well held on his Plumpton hurdle debut in late 2021 and not seen since. Irish point winner in 2021; absent since low-key rules debut later that year. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (125/1 +0%)Time To Smile |
125/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Time To Smile 125/1, No show in bumper/maiden hurdles. Has left Seamus Mullins. Showed no significant promise in a bumper and two maiden hurdles for previous stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Gentle Slopes made a winning start for Nicky Henderson over 2m here last month and the Listed bumper winner should have more to offer. That said, his stamina isn't entirely assured stepping back up in trip and MASACCIO could be in place to take full advantage. Alan King's grey has achieved a solid level of form, including when fifth in the Challow at Newbury, and he may well benefit from a sounder surface. Defi Nonantais rates best of the rest.
MASACCIO has some solid form and, having been spared a hard race once held in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury, he's fancied to resume winning ways now returned to calmer waters. Gentle Slopes remains totally unexposed for Nicky Henderson and ought to prove equally as effective over this longer trip, with Thunder N Lightnin in the running for minor honours.
Eased in grade after a very respectable fifth in the Grade 1 Challow at Newbury in December, MASACCIO looks the one to beat.

1st (9)  (9/2 +82%)Heaven Smart |
9/2(+82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Heaven Smart 9/2, Ran at least as well as he had done over hurdles on his second start chasing when third of 15 at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) in November. However, he failed to build on that over the same C&D next time and now tried in blinkers. Let down by his jumping last time; still a maiden; new headgear. |
|||
2nd (10)  (4/1 -20%)Pedley Wood |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pedley Wood 4/1, Point scorer who has improved for a wind op/fitting of cheekpieces over fences, landing handicaps at Hereford/Taunton at up to 3¼m in recent months. Jumping has very much looked an asset and 3 lb rise for latest success doesn't look harsh. Point winner; 2-2 over rules fences and could well improve further. |
|||
3rd (6)  (5/1 +50%)Shot Boii |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Shot Boii 5/1, :Healthy strike rate over hurdles (4-14) and made it third time lucky in this sphere with the visor refitted at Hereford (25.2f, soft) in January. Lost little caste in defeat when runner-up at Warwick since and another bold show could be on the way. In good form since wearing reapplied visor; holds solid claims. |
|||
4th (2)  (15/2 -25%)Ernest Gray |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ernest Gray 15/2, Useful bumper winner who opened his hurdles account at Doncaster last spring. Stepped up on chase debut display when scoring at the second attempt in this sphere at Southwell (24.3f, soft) but this is more demanding up 5 lb. Won at Southwell last month and is open to further progress over fences. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/4 +58%)Godot |
11/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Godot 11/4, Dual hurdles winner last spring, including here, and showed the benefit ot his chase debut spin when narrowly outpointing the in-form Morfee (winner since) at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft). 4 lb rise tolerable and he has to enter calculations. Last-time-out scorer but has stamina to prove over this new trip. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (5/1 +38%)James Jet |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) James Jet 5/1, Winning pointer who was progressive over hurdles, making a winning handicap bow at Uttoxeter in November. Kicked on again when striking on chase debut at Ffos Las (21.5f, heavy) but followed that with a very low-key display at Chepstow. Disappointing last time; not fully exposed but needs to avoid mistakes. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ERNEST GRAY clearly benefited from his chasing debut at Wetherby in November when justifying favouritism at Southwell last month. Open to further improvement, a 5lb rise is unlikely to be an inconvenience in what appears a winnable contest on paper. Pedley Wood is unbeaten in two starts over fences, with victories at Hereford and Taunton to his name, and he has to be of interest once again. Others to note include Shot Boii and James Jet.
Cases can be made for several of these, with SCRUM DIDDLY the one who appeals most. He is 2 lb below the mark off which he was a good second in a small-field Ascot handicap on his penultimate start and, with just three runs in this sphere under his belt, he could have more to offer. Pedley Wood made it 2-2 over fences at Taunton and he's a live contender, while Godot, Midnight Centurion and Shot Boii should all have parts to play, too.
Bottom-weight PEDLEY WOOD is taken to maintain his unbeaten record over fences. Ernest Gray is second choice.

1st (4)  (12/1 +40%)Thunderclap |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Thunderclap 12/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat and made steady progress in this sphere last season, winning a Sedgefield maiden in April. Better for return when fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick 4 weeks ago and connections now opt for a step up in trip. Not beaten far when fifth of seven at Catterick (1m7f) last month; tries a new trip today. |
|||
2nd (5)  (3/1 +70%)Madaket |
3/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Madaket 3/1, Left previous efforts well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Chepstow (19.5f, soft) on return in October. However, he's been unable to match that form in 2 starts since, some less-than-fluent jumping not helping when fifth at Exeter on New Year's Day. Made winning seasonal/handicap debut in October but safely held twice since. |
|||
3rd (1)  (7/2 +13%)Katate Dori |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Katate Dori 7/2, Struck at the third time of asking in bumpers at Market Rasen last March and best effort yet over hurdles when third of 12 on qualifying run in a Hereford maiden (19.7f) 25 days ago. Opening mark demands some improvement but he's not discounted in an open-looking race. Sound effort when placed in Hereford maiden last; can improve again in handicaps. |
|||
4th (2)  (6/1 +0%)Bentley's Return |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bentley's Return 6/1, Showed fair form when reaching the frame on 3 of his 4 bumper starts and improved on hurdles debut form when third in a Plumpton maiden (20.5f) in December, well suited by step up in trip. Likely he can do better still now handicapping. Unexposed 6yo who was placed in Plumpton maiden in December; respected. |
|||
5th (6)  (20/1 +20%)Golden Ambition |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Golden Ambition 20/1, Midfield only start in bumpers and promise on 2 of his 3 starts in novice/maiden hurdles, making late headway in to fifth over inadequate trip at Taunton (16.5f) 32 days ago. Another likely to improve now handicapping with this longer trip promising to suit. 80-1 fourth on hurdling debut but two lesser efforts have followed. |
|||
6th (14)  (16/1 +20%)Karakoram |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Karakoram 16/1, Scored at Taunton last spring but more miss than hit since, only fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, heavy) 8 days ago. Mark continues to ease but others arrive with more pressing claims. Five-time winner over hurdles but not firing on all cylinders this season. |
|||
7th (13)  (7/2 +13%)Wot You Wearing |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Wot You Wearing 7/2, Steadily progressive from a low base in handicaps, showing a good attitude when bringing up third career victory at Chepstow (19.5f) in November. Found only one too good both starts since, latterly at Sandown 919.8f) 2 weeks ago. Should go well again partnered by promising young rider. Three wins this season; recent Sandown second was another PB; good 5lb claimer booked here. |
|||
8th (3)  (9/1 -29%)Hurricane Danny |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hurricane Danny 9/1, Work-in-progress in bumpers who stepped up markedly on his hurdles debut form when runner-up behind stablemate Isaac des Obeaux at Chepstow (19.5f) in November. Possibly found race coming too soon back there in December and highly likely there's more to come now handicapping. Well beaten last time but was second in Chepstow maiden in November and remains unexposed. |
|||
9th (7)  (12/1 +52%)Kitesurfer |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kitesurfer 12/1, Won juvenile hurdle on his only race in France back in May 2022 and produced best effort so far on these shores when fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) in November. Seemingly not 100% when pulled up at Newcastle a month later. Had wind op since and cheekpieces now go on. Ran okay when upped to 2m4f in November but pulled up since; cheekpieces now added. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (33/1 -230%)Hello Sunshine |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hello Sunshine 33/1, Produced a career best to double her tally over hurdles when scoring with ease at Plumpton (25f) in May and backed that up from 7 lb higher mark when fourth at Stratford (26.4f) later that month, her stamina seemingly stretched. Absent since though and this rates tougher. In good form for new yard last spring but has fitness to prove here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Wot You Wearing has found only the progressive Gyllen too strong on his last two outings and Freddie Gingell's 5lb claim puts the seven-year-old on an appealing mark. However, it may be worth chancing last year's winner of this contest, SAMI BEAR. Chris Gordon's gelding has shaped better than the beaten distance this season and he may be able to capitalise now racing off his last winning rating. Handicap debutants Katate Dori and Bentley's Return also warrant a second look.
Claims can be made for plenty including BENTLEY'S RETURN who makes a quick switch to handicaps following an encouraging third in novice company at Plumpton when last seen in December and he promises to do better still at this sort of trip. Wot You Wearing is building up a most admirable record and is feared, along with Hurricane Danny. Katate Dori and last year's winner Sami Bear complete the shortlist.
Progressive 7yo WOT YOU WEARING benefits from Freddie Gingell's very useful 5lb claim here and gets the nod ahead of Katate Dori.

1st (6)  (6/1 +0%)Highstakesplayer |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Highstakesplayer 6/1, Progressed well over timber in 2021/22, scoring twice. Picked up where he left off to make a winning chase debut (easily) at Hereford on return last season and followed up under a penalty there the following week. Off since (15 months), however. Progressive sort who is 2-2 over fences; possibilities despite a lengthy layoff. |
|||
2nd (9)  (10/3 +63%)Iconic Muddle |
10/3(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Iconic Muddle 10/3, Relatively low-mileage 11-y-o who resumed from 9 months off with a good second of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, heavy) 34 days ago, staying on well. Player if seeing out longer trip. Close second over 2m4f on reappearance; new trip is the question mark. |
|||
3rd (5)  (9/4 +0%)Killer Kane |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Killer Kane 9/4, Impressed when landing a gamble in this race last year (off 5 lb lower) and best effort since when third at Newbury 69 days ago. Shortlisted. Successful in the novice handicap on this card in 2022 and this race last year; respected. |
|||
4th (8)  (10/3 +26%)First Lord De Cuet |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) First Lord De Cuet 10/3, Winning hurdler who made the frame on all his 5 runs over fences last term. Back to best when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen last month, pulling clear of the rest, and is of interest again now. 0-10 over fences but posted a solid effort last time; due to go up 2lb in future. |
|||
5th (3)  (16/1 -60%)Francky Du Berlais |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Francky Du Berlais 16/1, Won the 2022 Summer Plate at Market Rasen and some good efforts since, including when runner-up in cross country at Cheltenham 8 weeks ago. Should go well again. Made the frame in cross-country races at Cheltenham the last twice. |
|||
6th (7)  (11/1 +0%)Emir Sacree |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Emir Sacree 11/1, More lows than highs since his last win almost 2 years ago, let down by jumping at Ascot latest. Sometimes jumps left and can be opposed kept to right-handed course. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (9/1 +0%)Black Gerry |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Black Gerry 9/1, Won all 4 of his starts when completing last season, seeing off 5 rivals with another polished display in Plumpton handicap in April. However, never in the hunt both starts this season and back down in class now. Something to prove back up in distance, having never won beyond 2m3f. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FIRST LORD DE CUET lost little in defeat when finding only subsequent scorer Anglers Crag too strong at Market Rasen last month and he's effectively 2lb well-in before his revised mark kicks in. The veteran ticks plenty of the right boxes and an overdue first success over fences could be imminent. Wincanton runner-up Iconic Muddle is a potential improver now upped in distance and he must also enter calculations, along with the returning Highstakesplayer.
FIRST LORD DE CUET is one to be interested in again suddenly having pulled clear of the rest when second to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen last month. Killer Kane landed a gamble in this race last year and is an obvious threat on the back of a decent third at Newbury, while low-mileage 11-y-o Iconic Muddle made a promising comeback at Wincanton.
With useful claimer Freddie Gingell taking off 5lb, KILLER KANE (nap) looks poised to follow up last year's win.

1st (1)  (11/2 +0%)Electric Mason |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Electric Mason 11/2, Bought for £110,000 after finishing second in an Irish point and shaped encouragingly for new connections when third of 11 in Ascot bumper last month. May do better. Stayed on for third at Ascot on the switch to rules; one of the main form contenders. |
|||
2nd (11)  (9/1 +82%)Tamarind Bay |
9/1(+82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tamarind Bay 9/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam (c125/h126) 2m/17f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3¼m). Hard to know if he'll be tuned up for this. Out of a bumper winner; yard is only 2-24 in bumpers in last five seasons. |
|||
3rd (3)  (2/1 +20%)Ken Roy |
2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ken Roy 2/1, €92,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fellow Mag and Bois Sans Soif. One for shortlist on debut given connections. 92,000euros 3yo; from useful French family; Ditcheat newcomer, has to be feared. |
|||
4th (7)  (5/2 -43%)Off The Jury |
5/2(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Off The Jury 5/2, Point winner in Ireland in April last year and plenty to like about his second at Doncaster on Rules bow, finishing with running left. Definite player. Irish point winner; eyecatching second at Doncaster switched to rules; respected. |
|||
5th (5)  (7/2 +0%)Les's Jersey Royal |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Les's Jersey Royal 7/2, €85,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdle winner/smart chaser (stayed 3½m) Cannington Brook. One to note on debut. 85,000euros 3yo; connections' most recent bumper runner scored on debut; interesting. |
|||
6th (8)  (150/1 -200%)Snapdance |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Snapdance 150/1, Didn't offer a great deal when sixth in a Chepstow bumper at couple of months ago. Unlikely to feature. Only sixth of seven at Chepstow two months ago. |

7th (12)  (33/1 +0%)Hot Goddess |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Hot Goddess 33/1, €16,000 3-y-o, Mahler filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler Russian Ruler. Dam, ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Royal Choice. May need more time. 16,000euros 3yo; stable is just 3-90 in bumpers in last five campaigns. |

8th (10)  (22/1 +33%)Pooch |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pooch 22/1, Sir Percy gelding. Half-brother to French 1½m winner on Flat Cinquain. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful French hurdler (2¼m winner) Rock The Race. Wears tongue strap. Has a useful Flat pedigree; wears tongue-tie on debut; check the betting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
OFF THE JURY was purchased for 170,000 euros a few days after winning between the flags in Ireland, and suggested that it could be money well spent when an eyecatching second in a Doncaster bumper. He can make it second-time lucky under Rules, although Electric Mason won't make it easy for him because his Ascot third was very encouraging. Ken Roy is a 92,000-euro half-brother to a Listed-placed hurdler in France and he is the most interesting of the newcomers.
OFF THE JURY, a point winner, caught the eye on debut at Doncaster a month ago and looks the one to be with. Ken Roy is a notable newcomer.
The pick of the runners with experience is OFF THE JURY. Ken Roy and Les's Jersey Royal are respected newcomers.

1st (6)  (11/2 +66%)Andashan |
11/2(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Andashan 11/2, £26,000 3-y-o, Shantaram gelding. Dam (h108) 19f hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m). Yard's representatives are often tuned up for these events. £26,000 3yo; dam dual hurdle winner; check the betting. |

2nd (5)  (3/1 -140%)Tradecraft |
3/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Tradecraft 3/1, Out of a Flat winner and offered plenty to work on when second in an Ascot bumper 76 days ago. Should do better for that initial experience and sets a reasonable standard. Promising second at Ascot 11 weeks ago and commands respect with progress on the cards. |
|||
3rd (4)  (5/2 -25%)The Bluesman |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Bluesman 5/2, €140,000 3-y-o, £200,000 4-y-o, Crillon gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including French hurdler/chaser Fiumicino and fairly useful French hurdler/chaser Niquos. Third sole start in Irish points (Nov 12). Expensive recruit who makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Solid effort in Irish point; sold for £200,000 and has joined Paul Nicholls; interesting. |
|||
4th (8)  (9/1 +25%)French Ship |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) French Ship 9/1, French Navy gelding. Half-brother to fair 1m winner Capitulation. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Sky Khan. Worthy of respect if the market speaks in his favour. Half-brother to a 1m winner, out of 1m2f winner; heed the market signals. |
|||
5th (9)  (12/1 +25%)Night Stalker |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Night Stalker 12/1, Positive start when third at Ludlow on debut and perhaps found the race too hot at Cheltenham next time. Solid place claims. Drops back in class but the form of his debut effort has mostly worked out poorly. |
|||
6th (10)  (10/3 +49%)White Riot |
10/3(+49%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) White Riot 10/3, The Grey Gatsby gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including useful 9.5f winner in France Elizar. Dam unraced. Well worth a market check. £50,000 2yo; useful Flat pedigree; yard is in good form in bumpers; shortlisted. |
|||
7th (2)  (40/1 -186%)J J Moon |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) J J Moon 40/1, Hinted at ability when fifth in a Wincanton bumper 45 days ago but a marked step forward is required to take a serious hand in this. Only a modest fifth at Wincanton but is likely to do better. |
|||
8th (3)  (300/1 -500%)Noble Recall |
300/1(-500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Noble Recall 300/1, £4,500 3-y-o, Telescope gelding. Dam unraced. Not an obvious sort on paper. £4,500 3yo; stable is 0-17 in bumpers. |
|||
9th (1)  (50/1 +0%)Bluethorn Boy |
50/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bluethorn Boy 50/1, Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Ten Past Midnight. Dam (h104) 2¾m-3m hurdle winner (stayed 27f). Yard has very low strike-rate in bumpers in last five seasons. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TRADECRAFT only found one too good on his first taste of competitive action at Ascot in November and the son of Blue Bresil looks to have every chance of going one better here. The Bluesman was purchased for 200,000 pounds after finishing second on his sole start between the flags so he has to be of interest. Others to consider are Night Stalker and White Riot.
Although only third in a point, THE BLUESMAN is well bred and was acquired for £200,000, so he's a likely candidate to make a successful Rules debut having joined a top yard. Tradecraft is an obvious danger on the back of a positive start at Ascot and Andashan isn't easily dismissed.
As regards the runners with experience, TRADECRAFT and The Bluesman look best. White Riot is the pick of the newcomers.

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.
