1st (1)  (4/1 +33%)Gifted Angel |
4/1(+33%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gifted Angel 4/1, Yet to win on the Flat but different story over hurdles, winning juveniles at Stratford and Cartmel in August. Creditable third back on the Flat at Chester last month. Should give his running but no easy task conceding a fair bit of weight all round. | |||
2nd (4)  (28/1 -12%)Captain Marvellous |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Captain Marvellous 28/1, Masked Marvel gelding. Dam, 11.5f-15f winner, half-sister to fair hurdler (17f-21f winner) Capivari out of winner around 2m Plique A Jour. Betting should help guide to expectations on debut. | |||
3rd (7)  (13/2 -30%)Latin Verse |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Latin Verse 13/2, Fair Flat winner for Ralp Beckett. Shaped well when close second on his Sedgefield hurdle debut 19 days ago (likely to have won with a better jumps at the last). Likely to improve. | |||
4th (8)  (6/1 -20%)Mojo Ego |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mojo Ego 6/1, Won on the Flat in France for Jean-Claude Rouget and runner-up on the second of 2 hurdle starts there last spring. Bold show likely on first run for Harry Derham. | |||
5th (12)  (3/1 +33%)Kundaline |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Kundaline 3/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles on soft ground in France. Seemed to get found out on a quicker surface when a below-form second at Ludlow recently but these conditions should be a bit more to her liking after the rain in recent days. | |||
6th (11)  (10/3 -11%)Soigneux Bell |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Soigneux Bell 10/3, Made a winning debut on the Flat in France in May and ran to a fair level when second in 1¼m Epsom novice last month for new trainer Gary Moore. Interesting hurdling debutant. | |||
7th (5)  (125/1 -279%)Cosmic View |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cosmic View 125/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m) for the Crisfords. Faded into a well-held fourth on his Fontwell hur4dle debut for his new stable last month but could strip fitter with that behind him. Cheekpieces worn in recent starts are left off here. | |||
8th (3)  (33/1 +34%)Bridge |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bridge 33/1, Modest maiden on the Flat for Brian Meehan. Best watched now hurdling for a new stable unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. | |||
9th (6)  (22/1 -57%)Kauto Kawai |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kauto Kawai 22/1, Probably didn't achieve that much when second in a claiming hurdle in France last month but rates a potential improver having joined David Pipe since. | |||
|F| (9)  (11/1 -10%)Outgun |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Outgun 11/1, Fair maiden at up to 11f on the Flat. Much respected now hurdling for a stable traditionally strongly in juvenile events. | |||
|PU| (10)  (50/1 -100%)Sir Raj |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sir Raj 50/1, Fair form on Flat for Hugo Palmer. Could only manage a distant third on his Plumpton hurdle debut last month but he should achieve more in due course. Has a tongue tie added now. | |||
|PU| (2)  (50/1 -52%)Awtaad Prince |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Awtaad Prince 50/1, Fairly useful Flat performer but his recent efforts in that sphere have been disappointing. Watching brief advised on hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
LATIN VERSE appeared somewhat of an unlucky loser in his runner-up effort at Sedgefield earlier in the month after jumping badly left at the final obstacle. Milton Harris' juvenile will need to jump better to shed his maiden tag in this sphere, but he should take all the stopping if building on that hurdles bow. Kauto Kawai is worth noting in the market on his UK debut, while Flat recruits Outgun and Soigneux Bell could have a say too.
French-recruit MOJO EGO gets the nod to make a winning start for Harry Derham but there are several with possibilities in an interesting opener. Latin Verse should have a big say if brushing up on his jumping with his Sedgefield experience behind him, while Kundaline's French form suggests she's better than she showed at Ludlow. Soigneux Bell and Outgun are a couple of interesting hurdle newcomers in a race where the betting could prove informative.
Having shown promise and stamina on both Flat starts, hurdling newcomer SOIGNEUX BELL is the selection ahead of Captain Marvellous.

1st (5)  (10/3 +33%)Arclight |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Arclight 10/3, Fairly useful on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and she also enjoyed a good season over hurdles, winning here and at Doncaster. Interesting chasing debutant. Fair Flat-racer who won two juvenile hurdles last season; makes chasing debut today. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/8 +31%)Notnowlinda |
11/8(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Notnowlinda 11/8, Dual 2m hurdles winner last season who made a promising start over fences when second of 10 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 27 days ago. That form has been franked so she merits serious consideration with progress very much on the cards. 2-6 over hurdles last season and ran well in defeat on last month's chasing debut; player. |
|||
3rd (1)  (6/1 +25%)Kotmask |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kotmask 6/1, Signed off for last term with a good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f, soft). Reliable sort so he can't be ruled out on his chase debut/return. Consistent over hurdles last season but others in this line-up may have more potential. |
|||
4th (3)  (8/1 -14%)Spago |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Spago 8/1, Fair in bumpers and placed on all his three runs over hurdles, third in 2m3f Warwick novice in April. Goes straight over fences on his return and can't be discounted for his in-form yard. Third in all three novice/maiden hurdles last season; now makes chase/handicap debut. |
|||
5th (7)  (16/1 -146%)Non Stop |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Non Stop 16/1, Fair Flat winner at 1m who also scored twice at 2m over hurdles last season. Ended the season with a couple of modest efforts though so he has a bit to prove on his return/chasing bow. Won twice over hurdles at Warwick last season but does not have a chasing pedigree. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (13/2 -18%)Fame And Fun |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fame And Fun 13/2, Dual 19f hurdles scorer last season who signed off with a solid fifth of 13 in handicap at Taunton (19f, soft) in April. Commands plenty of respect now starting out over fences. Dual handicap hurdle winner last season; has a fighting chance if he takes to chasing. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (16/1 -146%)Rakhine State |
16/1(-146%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rakhine State 16/1, Got off the mark over fences at Perth in July. Posted a creditable third over hurdles there 41 days ago so he's in the mix again back in this sphere. Won three-runner chase in July but younger rivals look more interesting here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
NOTNOWLINDA was far from disgraced when finding only another unexposed chaser too good on her chasing bow at Warwick last month and Dan Skelton's mare is fancied to defy a 2lb nudge in the ratings. Rakhine State is the only other rival with experience over the larger obstacles and the veteran shouldn't be far away after posting a respectable third over hurdles at Perth in September, with Kotmask and Fame And Fun making most appeal of those making their debuts in this sphere.
Dan Skelton's NOTNOWLINDA shaped well on her first go over fences when runner-up at Warwick (form been franked) and can put that experience to good use to fend off chasing-newcomers Arclight and Fame And Fun who are both in excellent hands and bring potential to this sphere. Rakhine State and Spago are two others who need considering in an intriguing novice chase.
The most obvious answer is NOTNOWLINDA, who made a very solid start to her chasing career when second at Warwick last month.

1st (2)  (9/4 -13%)Destroytheevidence |
9/4(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Destroytheevidence 9/4, Fair in bumpers and showed improved form to get off the mark at the second attempt over hurdles in 5-runner novice at Worcester (23f, good to soft) in May. Respectable second at Southwell (3m) on recent return to action. Cheekpieces are reached for now. Thereabouts. Won by 10l at Worcester in May and not discredited when well-held second this month. |
|||
2nd (6)  (9/2 +55%)Monks Meadow |
9/2(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Monks Meadow 9/2, £60,000 buy after finishing runner-up on his completed start in Irish points. Interesting contender for a stable which sent out a winning hurdling debutant at Wincanton earlier in the week. Bought for £60,000 after Irish point second in April; market may guide on rules debut. |
|||
3rd (1)  (10/1 -100%)Songo |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Songo 10/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who won a pair of 21.5f Newton Abbot novice hurdles this summer. Disappointed in a handicap there last time, though, and shouldered with a double penalty here. Easily won two Newton Abbot novice hurdles in summer; should go well, despite big penalty. |
|||
4th (5)  (14/1 -87%)Deerstalker |
14/1(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Deerstalker 14/1, Clear when falling at the last in his sole point. Faded after racing keenly in a Warwick bumper in the spring for Mel Rowley but worth keeping an eye on in the betting now hurdling for a new stable no stranger to success in this race. Unlucky not to win a point in March but made low-key bumper debut the following month. |
|||
5th (9)  (250/1 -525%)Tiger Blade |
250/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tiger Blade 250/1, Modest form when sixth in a pair of Warwick bumpers for Tom Weston in the spring. Best watched now hurdling on return. Made quite promising bumper debut in April but his second run was a backward step. |
|||
|B| (7)  (9/2 +25%)Much Too Dear |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Much Too Dear 9/2, Fair form over hurdles, running his best race when 3 lengths second of 3 over C&D (good to soft) when last seen in May. Likely to be competitive if resuming in similar form. Lacks the potential of some of these but ran well when second over C&D in May; e-w claims. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (9/4 +55%)Beachcomber |
9/4(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Beachcomber 9/4, Looked useful when winning easily at Chepstow on his second of 3 bumper starts last season. Off 7 months, shaped as if better for the run when 10 lengths fifth on his 2½m Worcester hurdle debut 23 days ago. Major player here with improvement on the cards. Impressive bumper winner in February and shaped with promise on recent hurdling debut. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (80/1 -142%)Capstan |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Capstan 80/1, Fair at best on the Flat these days (fourth in 2m Class 6 handicap here last month) and pulled up on his Newbury hurdle debut back in March. Can only watch. Pulled up on last season's hurdling debut and not at full strength on the Flat lately. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Presenting Nelly completed the second leg of a quick-fire double at Newton Abbot in late-September, but the six-year-old will require another career-best performance to complete a hat-trick judged on the ratings. DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE appeared a bit too keen when runner-up over an extended 3m at Southwell earlier this month and he could regain the winning thread now dropping in distance to 2m5f, with first-time cheekpieces an added bonus. The returning Much Too Dear is seen as the largest threat in receipt of 7lb from the selection and completes the shortlist.
BEACHCOMBER should be all the sharper with last month's hurdle debut under his belt and can make the most of the weight he receives from the previous winners in this line-up. It would be no surprise were the main threat to come from Emma Lavelle Irish point recruit Monks Meadow, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
Chepstow bumper winner BEACHCOMBER made a very encouraging start to his hurdling career three weeks ago and should build on that run.

1st (6)  (7/2 -17%)Corrigeen Rock |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Corrigeen Rock 7/2, Improved sent chasing last season, winner of first 2 completed starts before resuming winning ways at Perth final start. Probably has more to offer still so high on the shortlist. Made all at Perth in April and now 3-7 over fences; could easily have more to offer. |
|||
2nd (7)  (9/2 -29%)Thelasthighking |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Thelasthighking 9/2, Low-key start over fences last season but got the hang of things for a ready success at Wincanton (15.7f). Followed up at Southwell final start in April and remains unexposed. Came good over fences with two wins at end of last season; still quite lightly raced. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/2 +38%)Jay Jay Reilly |
5/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jay Jay Reilly 5/2, Low-mileage sort who did remarkably well to overcome a bad error to open his chase account over C&D in February. Found out in Grade 2 company next time but quickly back to winning ways in 4-runner Market Rasen handicap. Excellent close second over C&D when last seen in May and remains of interest. 2-4 since fitted with cheekpieces; signed off with clear second over C&D in May; respected. |
|||
4th (2)  (8/1 -7%)El Borracho |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) El Borracho 8/1, Likeable, versatile campaigner who resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f, good), going with enthusiasm. Close third at Newton Abbot since and should be in the mix again. Has excellent 6-10 strike-rate over fences but current mark asks quite a lot of him. |
|||
5th (4)  (8/1 +0%)Xcitations |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Xcitations 8/1, Upped his game further this term with victories at Doncaster and Sandown around the turn of the year. Mixed record after but eased 3 lb and is back down in class on return. Took form to new level last winter; current mark is workable if he's ready to roll. |
|||
6th (3)  (7/1 -40%)Flic Ou Voyou |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Flic Ou Voyou 7/1, Back from 4 months off and enhanced his fine record at Wincanton with another victory in handicap in February. Folded tamely next time but has a good record fresh so worthy of interest. 2-4 last season; soft ground excuses latest defeat but he remains on a career-high mark. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (12/1 -20%)Mercian Prince |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mercian Prince 12/1, Veteran campaigner who enhanced his fine Kempton record when winning this race off 1 lb lower and followed up here 7 months later under a typically fluent front-running display. Below best all 4 starts since but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this venue. Front-running veteran who excels at this track; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Mercian Prince deserves a mention having won this race for the last two years, but he is 12 now and was not at his best when pulled up last time out at Bangor. He could still go well but JAY JAY REILLY is readily preferred. A three-time course winner, twice over fences and once over hurdles, he was last seen finishing second to the aforementioned Mercian Prince over C&D in May, despite pulling too hard, and looks set for a profitable season. Thelasthighking is lightly raced and may be the one to follow the suggestion home at these weights for the in-form Twiston-Davies yard.
Plenty to consider with the vote going to CORRIGEEN ROCK, who is probably the one open to the most improvement still. Jay Jay Reilly and Thelasthighking head the dangers.
The suggestion is C&D winner JAY JAY REILLY (nap), who responded well to the addition of cheekpieces towards the end of last season.

1st (1)  (2/1 +27%)Rubaud |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rubaud 2/1, Useful on the Flat in France and similar standard over hurdles. Better than ever when successful at Ayr 6 months ago and should be ready to go. Up-and-coming 5yo who was clearcut winner of Scottish Champion Hurdle in April; respected. |
|||
2nd (5)  (17/2 +39%)Too Friendly |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Too Friendly 17/2, Firmly on the right track for his current yard, making it 3 from his last 4 in 7-runner handicap at Perth last time. More on his plate now but should give his running once more. Three wins for new stable this season; may still be improving but this is a tough task. |
|||
3rd (2)  (13/8 +41%)First Street |
13/8(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) First Street 13/8, Resumed with a win in the Gerry Feilden at Newbury last November. Form tailed off towards the end of the campaign but makes plenty of appeal returning fresh from 6 months off. Last season fizzled out but his Newbury win in November makes him of interest. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/4 -150%)Sceau Royal |
11/4(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sceau Royal 11/4, Very smart hurdler/chaser who landed the odds in this on his return last season. More than one creditable effort subsequently and, despite his advancing years, another bold showing is expected. High-class hurdler/chaser who is bidding to win this race for the third season running. |
|||
5th (4)  (80/1 -100%)Fast Buck |
80/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fast Buck 80/1, Took advantage of reduced mark when recording a first win over fences at Lingfield in December. Similar form when runner-up next 2 starts and latest run (6 months ago) is easily excused. Might need the run. Still a useful chaser but struggled in this race on last season's reappearance outing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
It takes a good horse to win this with The New One taking it three times and SCEAU ROYAL looks to match that feat after successes in 2021 and 2022. Alan King's 11-year-old has an excellent record fresh with wins first time out in six of the last seven seasons, and although time has to catch up with him eventually, it may not be just yet. Rubaud is an improving youngster who could have more to offer, while First Street also has to be of interest returning from a wind operation.
FIRST STREET made a successful reappearance last season and, while his form tailed off towards the end of the campaign, he's likely to be back to his best after 6 months off. He takes marginal preference over Sceau Royal, with the progressive Too Friendly also considered.
Popular veteran SCEAU ROYAL has won the last two editions of this race pretty comfortably and may be too good for Rubaud.

1st (7)  (5/1 -25%)Gaboriot |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gaboriot 5/1, Useful hurdler at his best. Hasn't matched that in hunter chases but returns on a reasonable mark. Five jumps wins in France; 0-7 in hunter chases but still looks quite interesting here. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4/1 +11%)Island Run |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Island Run 4/1, Back to winning ways at Wincanton (24.7f) in March and remained in form since. Should take to chasing and merits respect back from 174 days off. Clear second in 3m hurdle here in May; player if in similar form on this chasing debut. |
|||
3rd (2)  (7/2 -40%)Riskintheground |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Riskintheground 7/2, Showed fair form over hurdles last season and brought down early on chasing debut recently. Type to do better in this sphere, so well worthy of respect. Low-mileage 6yo; brought down in early stages of chasing debut; remains a good prospect. |
|||
4th (6)  (7/4 +56%)Rocky Lake |
7/4(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rocky Lake 7/4, Lightly-raced winning hurdler who shaped with plenty of promise when staying on for fourth on chase debut at Bangor (20.3f) a year ago. Yet to build on that but goes well fresh and stable is in excellent form, so worth chancing back from 179 days off. Failed to build upon last season's promising chase debut; back from break on good mark. |
|||
5th (1)  (7/1 -27%)Pasvolsky |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pasvolsky 7/1, Six wins from 17 NH runs. Won 7-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft, 15/2), pushed out. Solid claims if he's tuned up after 6 months off. Inconsistent last season but won over C&D when upped in trip in April. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (25/1 -56%)Norley |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Norley 25/1, Improved last season, scoring twice over hurdles before successful on second start over fences at Huntingdon in April. Lost his way, however, and first outing for current stable wasn't promising. Never competitive on recent stable debut and needs to get career back on track. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (33/1 -50%)Ultimate Getaway |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ultimate Getaway 33/1, Scored at Ludlow in May 2022 but offered little in two outings since returning from a long absence. Others make more appeal. Won a tactical race on chase debut in May but well held twice since; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A determined winner over C&D on his most recent start in April, PASVOLSKY has won fresh in the past and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get his season off to a perfect start. Runner-up on his last two outings, Island Run must be of interest on his chase debut, while the capable Riskintheground was unlucky when brought down early on at Warwick earlier in the month.
ROCKY LAKE has shaped with encouragement a couple of times over fences and he might be able to put it all together on reappearance. Riskintheground is an obvious danger and Island Run is a notable chasing debutant.
He's not one to rely upon heavily but PASVOLSKY ended last season with a good performance over C&D and remains unexposed over 3m.

1st (4)  (6/1 -50%)Oscars Moonshine |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Oscars Moonshine 6/1, Returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when landing 21f handicap hurdle at Wincanton 6 months ago. Up 7 lb but he's still weighted to go close on his seasonal return with the headgear again sported. Back-to-form win for Olive Nicholls at Wincanton (2m5f) in April in first-time cheekpieces. |

2nd (2)  (10/3 +52%)Shallow River |
10/3(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shallow River 10/3, Fairly useful 2m winner for Fergal O'Brien who posted a very good second for his new yard in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, soft) 20 days ago. Can make his presence felt again despite a 2 lb rise. 0-8 in handicaps but runner-up in four, beaten a neck under Bradley Harris on latest start. |
|||
3rd (10)  (11/2 +31%)Sami Bear |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sami Bear 11/2, Fair C&D winner in February who looked rusty after 5 months off when ninth of 12 in handicap at Fontwell (19.2f, good) 16 days ago. No surprise to see him take a big step forward. C&D win in February; jumping problems seriously temper enthusiasm for him. |
|||
4th (1)  (5/1 +33%)Whatsupwithyou |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Whatsupwithyou 5/1, Scored at Uttoxeter in early 2022 and posted a series of solid efforts last term without getting his head in front. Has won when fresh so he's a likely contender. Solid sequence this spring but without winning and he probably needs a bit extra to win. |
|||
5th (7)  (5/1 +69%)Milldam |
5/1(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Milldam 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who opened his account on the back of a breathing operation/9 weeks off in 2m maiden at Huntingdon in March. Does need to bounce back from a couple of disappointing efforts since, though, on his reappearance. Last four starts have been a win and three heavy defeats; new trip holds possibilities. |
|||
6th (8)  (9/1 +25%)Presenting Pete |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Presenting Pete 9/1, Looked on the up when bagging 2m4f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in August but he turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up at Warwick (21f) 27 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Uttoxeter win in August; pulled up latest start; ground softer than good may be a problem. |
|||
7th (5)  (10/1 +38%)Breaking Waves |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Breaking Waves 10/1, Untrustworthy individual for Harry Whittington who signed off last term with a below-form third at Ludlow (21.2f, soft) 10 months ago. Others appeal more. Not so good twice last December but it's possible he will return refreshed; new yard. |
|||
8th (9)  (9/1 +25%)Blue Shark |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Blue Shark 9/1, Highly progressive last season and, while his latest run was a tame effort, there's a good chance he can get back on the up after 4 months off, so not dismissed. 6-9 strike-rate since switched to handicap hurdles; may be able to resume his improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DECORATED hasn't run much in the past year or so, but the impression he has made when scoring on his last two starts has been very strong. The five-year-old remains unexposed and open to more improvement as he looks to see off the likes of Wincanton winner Oscars Moonshine and Awaythelad, who steps up in trip on his handicap debut. Shallow River and Whatsupwithyou have the form to get involved as well.
A case can be made for plenty of these but the most persuasive one is for DECORATED who ended last term with back-to-back victories and can carry on where he left off on his seasonal return after undergoing breathing surgery. Milton Harris' new recruit Shallow River is feared most on the back of a good recent Newton Abbot second, although the likes of Oscars Moonshine, Whatsupwithyou and Sami Bear all need factoring in too.
Plenty hold possibilities but DECORATED may well bring the most potential and can win from Blue Shark and Oscars Moonshine.
