1st (4)  (4/7 +31%)Moutarde |
4/7(+31%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Moutarde 4/7, Fair Flat winner in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Promising second on Galway hurdle debut for that yard in October before transferring to Anthony Charlton to finish a respectable fourth in a Cheltenham Grade 2 9 days ago. The one to beat with sights lowered. Two promising efforts over hurdles, latest in Cheltenham Grade 2 on debut for new yard. |
|||
2nd (3)  (5/1 +58%)Lucky Bere |
5/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lucky Bere 5/1, Successful twice over 1½m on the Flat in France in the spring. The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling for new connections. Improved form on the Flat in France in the spring; could have a say on hurdle debut. |
|||
3rd (8)  (7/2 +22%)Our Lil |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Our Lil 7/2, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1½m). 11/4, showed some promise when fourth of 6 on Warwick hurdle debut (2m, good) 3 weeks ago. Open to progress for her top stable. Shaped encouragingly at Warwick on debut for Dan Skelton; should build on that effort. |
|||
4th (2)  (80/1 +20%)Charles Morin |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Charles Morin 80/1, Modest handicapper on Flat who was last of 6 on his C&D hurdle debut last month. Trailed home last of six over C&D five weeks ago; best watched. |
|||
5th (1)  (40/1 -300%)Bramble Jelly |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bramble Jelly 40/1, Modest Flat winner who almost certainly achieved little when landing a 2-finisher event at Leicester on her hurdle debut last Monday. Surely vulnerable under a penalty. Probably achieved little in beating one other finisher at Leicester on hurdles debut. |
|||
6th (5)  (18/1 -50%)Red Cloud |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Red Cloud 18/1, Successful twice at up to 1½m on the Flat in 2024 but only at a modest level and he ran poorly at Bath last time. Hurdle debut. Mostly progressive on Flat this year; the type who could do well in this sphere. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (14/1 +0%)Saucats |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Saucats 14/1, Has some fair form to his name in France. Not at that level when fifth of 7 in Newton Abbot juvenile on his yard debut in September. Has subsequently had wind surgery. Inconsistent maiden in France; modest form on British debut; had wind surgery since. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (40/1 -82%)Edna E Mode |
40/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Edna E Mode 40/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Didn't get very far on her recent Leicester hurdle, swerving badly and unseating approaching the second. Has cheekpieces fitted on the back of that. Refused at the second flight in Leicester contest; headgear now applied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bramble Jelly made a victorious start over hurdles at Leicester last week and it would be no surprise to see her have a say, despite her 7lb penalty. However, MOUTARDE looks the way to go. Anthony Charlton's three-year-old was well beaten into fourth in a Grade 2 event at Cheltenham last time, but this is a much easier assignment. Therefore, he is taken to get off the mark, while any market support for Red Cloud would be interesting.
MOUTARDE was far from disgraced in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham recently and should take a bit of stopping with his sights lowered. Our Lil shaped quite well on her hurdle debut and is in the obvious threat to Anthony Charlton's charge.
As regards the runners who already have hurdles form, MOUTARDE has the best chance back down in class and Our Lil is feared most.

1st (1)  (6/5 +47%)Miami Magic |
6/5(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Miami Magic 6/5, Point winner from a good family who has made a promising start under Rules, finishing second in an Aintree bumper in May and going one better in 2m Fakenham maiden hurdle 5 months later. More to come and the one to beat. Improving 5yo who scored easily at Fakenham on stable/hurdles debut; leading player. |
|||
2nd (2)  (18/1 0%)George's Lad |
18/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) George's Lad 18/1, Held every chance when falling at the last in a point in April. 18/1, showed potential when fifth of 11 on 18.5f Exeter hurdle and stable debut 5 weeks ago. Capable of better under Cobden. Promise in Irish point; only a modest fifth at Exeter on rules debut. |
|||
3rd (8)  (12/1 -20%)Salt Rock |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Salt Rock 12/1, Cost £205,000 after winning his only point in March 2022. Has had a light career under Rules since but has shown promise and there are bigger performances in him soon. Impressive in point; gradually finding his feet under rules; in the mix. |
|||
4th (5)  (18/1 -177%)Kapal Layar |
18/1(-177%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kapal Layar 18/1, 5/1, promise when third of 7 in a Carlisle bumper last month. Connections waste no time switching him to hurdles and he's bred to do well in this sphere. Favourite for voided bumper at Kelso then showed promise at Carlisle; hurdles debut. |
|||
5th (10)  (3/1 +40%)Thistle Be The One |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Thistle Be The One 3/1, Failed to beat a rival both starts in points but proved a different proposition when landing a 9-runner course bumper in February. Backed that up when second in what is often a decent bumper at the Ayr Scottish Grade National meeting. Decent hurdle prospect. Good bumper form comprises a win at this course and close second at Ayr; respected. |
|||
6th (3)  (15/2 -25%)Groovy Blue |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Groovy Blue 15/2, Well held in a Newbury bumper for Emma Lavelle last November but a different proposition for new stable when winning a similar race at Fontwell in May. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling. Game win at Fontwell on latest bumper start; useful pedigree; should improve further. |
|||
7th (6)  (5/1 -25%)Marengo Bay |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Marengo Bay 5/1, €58,000 3-y-o who is a half-brother to useful hurdler Finest Evermore (2½m-2¾m winner). With a leading stable and would firmly enter the reckoning should the betting vibes be strong. 58,000euros 3yo; Henderson runner who is the sole newcomer in the field; check the betting. |
|||
8th (11)  (150/1 -500%)Beorma |
150/1(-500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Beorma 150/1, Just modest form at best in bumpers for Thomas Gallagher this term and might be more one for handicaps in this sphere based on his opening attempt at Carlisle a fortnight ago. Modest effort on debut for new yard; the type to do better in handicaps later on. |
|||
9th (9)  (125/1 -89%)Tarbuck |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tarbuck 125/1, Much better effort in bumpers when second at Taunton in April, albeit no match for the winner. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Engaged 12.15 Uttoxeter Sunday. Something to find on bumper form. |
|||
10th (7)  (150/1 -127%)Now I Know |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Now I Know 150/1, Well held in 2 bumpers in the spring. Has had wind surgery ahead of this hurdle debut after 6 months off. Needs major improvement on bumper form; had wind surgery since last run. |
|||
11th (4)  (200/1 -33%)Guinness Lad |
200/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Guinness Lad 200/1, Well held in bumper and 2 novice hurdles. More one for handicaps after this. Has meagre RPRs and was tailed off in C&D event most recently. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MIAMI MAGIC was an impressive 10-length victor on his hurdles debut at Fakenham last month and he could have plenty of improvement in him. The son of Leading Light carries a penalty for that triumph but, considering the authority he showed that day, he could prove tough to beat. Groovy Blue struck in a bumper at Fontwell in May and would be foolish to overlook on his first start over the smaller obstacles, while the 58,000-euro purchase Marengo Bay warrants a market check.
MIAMI MAGIC looked potentially useful when scoring easily on his Fakenham hurdle debut and is taken to defy the penalty. Bumper-winners Thistle Be The One and Groovy Blue should have bright futures over hurdles, while Nicky Henderson newcomer Marengo Bay would also enter the reckoning should the betting suggest he's fancied.
Judged on bumper achievements, THISTLE BE THE ONE holds particularly strong claims. Miami Magic brings the best hurdles form.

1st (2)  (13/8 -30%)Iberico Lord |
13/8(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Iberico Lord 13/8, Made up into a smart hurdler last term, winning a couple of big handicaps, including the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. Best to overlook his effort in the Champion Hurdle on final run of that campaign (yard was under a cloud at that time) and he's an exciting prospect now switched to fences. One of the best 2m handicap hurdlers last season; brings the highest rating to chase debut. |
|||
2nd (3)  (11/1 +21%)Leave Of Absence |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Leave Of Absence 11/1, Useful bumper form in 2022, winning here and at Newbury before excellent third in Aintree Grade 2. Got the better of some decent types when scoring on sole hurdles start at Ascot in October of that year and, though absent since, his profile is an attractive going into this yard/chase debut. Progressive for Chris Gordon but has been absent for over two years; market instructive. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (10/11 +39%)Gidleigh Park |
10/11(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gidleigh Park 10/11, Winner of 3 of of his 4 starts over hurdles last season, including a Cheltenham Grade 2. Sole defeat came when sixth of 13 in the Albert Bartlett at the Festival there in March and this 6-y-o, who is closely related to Denman, is a very interesting recruit to the chasing ranks. Possible non-stayer in the Albert Bartlett; unbeaten previously; remains of major interest. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (11/1 -57%)The Four Sixes |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Four Sixes 11/1, Found improvement on debut for Olly Murphy when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Wetherby last December. Placed all 3 subsequent completed starts, runner-up in a Class 2 handicap at Ayr when last seen during the spring, and he appeals as the type to make up into a better chaser. Fairly useful handicap hurdler; proving consistent but needs improvement to win this race. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GIDLEIGH PARK lost his unbeaten record when a well-held sixth in the Albert Barlett at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but the six-year-old remains an exciting prospect now making his chase bow. Harry Fry's charge takes a sizeable drop in trip, but his class can see him through. Iberico Lord failed to fire in the Champion Hurdle when last seen but won the Greatwood and Betfair before that and must be taken seriously. Leave Of Absence can beat The Four Sixes home for third.
A small but select field of chase debutants on show, with GIDLEIGH PARK and Iberico Lord particularly interesting given their hurdles exploits. This scenario may not be ideal for the latter, who appears to be suited by the hustle and bustle of big fields and, moreover, arriving late on the scene in a strongly-run race. Indeed, Gidleigh Park could be better-equipped for this particular assignment and he shades preference. The Four Sixes is third choice ahead of Leave of Absence.
Good chasing prospect GIDLEIGH PARK remains of major interest and could well improve past Iberico Lord in an engrossing clash.

1st (1)  (3/1 -50%)Craven Bay |
3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Craven Bay 3/1, Very much on the up for his new yard, landing 3m2f handicap hurdles at Warwick and Hereford in the autumn and improved again when nose second at Fontwell 17 days ago. Nicely clear of the rest in the process and 4 lb rise still leaves him very competitive. Better than ever in staying handicap hurdles for new yard; may improve further. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/1 +13%)Warranty |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Warranty 7/1, Won handicaps at Plumpton (20.5f) and Warwick (19f) in the autumn of 2022 for Gary Moore. Well held both hurdles starts for this yard but much more like it with a brace of Flat wins at Salisbury in May. Given a chance by the handicapper back over obstacles up in trip. Much better form on Flat than over hurdles for current yard; bit to prove. |
|||
3rd (6)  (14/1 -17%)Godot |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Godot 14/1, Course winner who was also successful over fences at Plumpton in January. Ended last term in disappointing fashion and needed to see more back over timber at Plumpton 3 weeks ago, albeit he probably needed that. Up in trip. Attractively weighted; has possibilities provided he's as effective back at 3m. |
|||
4th (3)  (6/4 +45%)Shantou Express |
6/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shantou Express 6/4, Bagged a small-field Stratford handicap (26.4f, good) in June 2023. Went into his shell after but took a big step back in the right direction from his reduced mark when second of 9 at Warwick 3 weeks ago, clear of the rest. Big player on the back of that. Solid second at Warwick last time and remains well treated on historical data. |
|||
5th (7)  (33/1 -32%)San Pedro |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) San Pedro 33/1, Fit from what was a heavy defeat on the Flat and didn't show much more behind a couple of these at Fontwell latest. Easy wins at Plumpton in Feb/March; not in anything like the same form since. |
|||
6th (5)  (3/1 +50%)Heaven Smart |
3/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Heaven Smart 3/1, A fairly useful 3m chase winner who recorded a solid fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good) in May. Sound return over hurdles at Fontwell 17 days ago but has work to do with Craven Bay. Interesting returned to Kempton, having gained sole win in 3m chase here in Feb. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
More positive tactics saw an improved performance from SHANTOU EXPRESS when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Warwick earlier this month. A 4lb rise in the ratings might not prevent another bold bid on that evidence and compensation could be on the cards. The biggest threat is fellow in-form rival Craven Bay, who lost little in defeat when thwarted in his hat-trick bid at Fontwell 17 days ago. Heaven Smart looks the pick of the remainder.
CRAVEN BAY came within a nose of completing the hat-trick at Fontwell 17 days ago with the pair clear and, very much going the right way, he can regain the winning thread up 4 lb. Shantou Express is very well weighted these days and offered much more at Warwick last time so he's feared, along with Warranty back in this code.
The combination of a drop back to 3m and return to Kempton may enable HEAVEN SMART to reverse Fontwell placings with Craven Bay.

1st (1)  (1/2 -38%)Kateira |
1/2(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kateira 1/2, Enhanced good record at Aintree when signing off for last season with success in valuable 20f handicap hurdle. Rather fluffed her lines at Wetherby on reappearance 3 weeks ago, travelling powerfully but held back by a bad blunder. Should maek amends on these terms. Very useful; beaten favourite in this race last year but strongly respected on best form. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/1 -29%)Della Casa Lunga |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Della Casa Lunga 9/1, Back-to-back handicap winner at Ludlow in February before being found out in a warmer race at Punchestown in May. Almost certainly needed the run at Bangor on reappearance 12 days ago and expected to run closer to form this time. Two emphatic Ludlow wins in February; one of the main players, granted a return to best. |
|||
3rd (2)  (4/1 +43%)Pawapuri |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pawapuri 4/1, Useful 11f Flat winner for William Haggas who landed a maiden and a novice at up to 18.9f around this time last year. Sound second back on the level at Salisbury in May but no easy task on these terms. Record of 2-3 last term featured a Listed novice win; may have more to offer this season. |
|||
4th (5)  (16/1 +60%)The Height Of Fame |
16/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Height Of Fame 16/1, Struck on 21.5f Newton Abbot reappearance in July. Went close at Worcester the following month and cast aside a couple of lesser runs when fourth at Wincanton. Behind Porter In The Park that day and she's up against it. Generally consistent but has the worst chance at the weights. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/1 +67%)Porter In The Park |
11/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Porter In The Park 11/1, Pair of handicap wins over 3m+ earlier in the year and fitter for her return at Huntingdon when finding only an improver too good at Wincanton (21.4f) a fortnight ago. Big career-best effort needed in this company. Largely consistent but faces a stiff assignment upped in class. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
The progressive KATEIRA would have likely finished closer but for a crucial mistake at the second-last hurdle in the Grade 2 bet365 Hurdle at Wetherby 23 days ago. That was the Dan Skelton-trained mare's seasonal debut and any sort of improvement is sure to make her tough to beat dropping into Listed company. The ratings suggest that triple hurdle winner Della Casa Lunga may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Pawapuri.
A bad blunder when she was closing cost KATEIRA on her Wetherby reappearance but she's a different class to these so compensation awaits. Della Casa Lunga will surely come on a lot for her recent reappearance and is offered for forecast purposes.
Last year's runner-up KATEIRA is well up to going one better, provided she's in top form. Pawapuri is feared most.

1st (7)  (11/4 +58%)Es Perfecto |
11/4(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Es Perfecto 11/4, Point/hurdles winner who was placed on his first 3 starts over fences last season, shaping particularly well when third in Timeform novices' handicap (strong form) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) in January. Misfired at Sandown on latest start in March but will have every chance if on-song here. Normally reliable and has some strong form, including a solid effort here on Boxing Day. |
|||
2nd (3)  (8/1 -60%)Doctor Ken |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Doctor Ken 8/1, Bumper/hurdles winner who made it 2-3 over fences when landing a 7-runner handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) on latest start in March 2023. Subsequent absence an obvious concern but he remains with potential as a chaser and resumes with his burgeoning yard in good form. Record of 121 over fences, most recently winning at Taunton in March 2023. |
|||
3rd (5)  (11/4 +21%)Bourbali |
11/4(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bourbali 11/4, Both wins over fences have come here, including when making all over 2¼m (good to soft) on his seasonal reappearance last month. 4 lb rise tolerable and, with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue, this 7-y-o has to be high on the shortlist. Made all in similar event here last month; scored on this card last year; respected. |
|||
4th (1)  (12/1 -33%)The Edgar Wallace |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Edgar Wallace 12/1, Winner of first 2 starts of 2023/24 campaign before going down narrowly in handicaps at Wetherby and Newcastle. Well held in the Topham at Aintree when last seen in April and will need to be better than ever if he's to make a winning return with first-time cheekpieces enlisted here. Well held in the Topham; very consistent in Class 3 otherwise last term; solid. |
|||
5th (4)  (3/1 -20%)Doddiethegreat |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Doddiethegreat 3/1, Followed last season's Ascot reappearance success with a couple of solid efforts in strong handicap hurdles, latterly fourth of 21 in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury in February. Failed to fire final 2 starts of that campaign but he's lightly-raced and is one to be interested in on this chase debut. Ran well in Betfair Hurdle; big player at this level, provided he takes to fences. |
|||
6th (6)  (14/1 +0%)Thelasthighking |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Thelasthighking 14/1, Successful over fences at Wincanton and Southwell during 2022/23 campaign and returned with a pair of good runner-up efforts here last autumn. Form dipped thereafter, though, and he was put on his place when returning to action at Newbury recently. Good chance if back in top form; second off 8lb higher in this race last year. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (10/1 -54%)Will Carver |
10/1(-54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Will Carver 10/1, Three-time hurdles winner who made the perfect start over fences at Cartmel (21f, good to soft) in May. However, his record is rather patchy and, following a third round of wind surgery, he was nearer last than first on return at Cheltenham. Nico de Boinville prefers Doddiethegreat. All rules wins on good going and opposed if the ground is on slow side. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having made a winning reappearance over 2m2f here last month, Bourbali warrants respect. A 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the seven-year-old, but THE EDGAR WALLACE could be worth chancing fresh. Kim Bailey's charge boasts a fine record on his first start after a break and he makes plenty of appeal dropping back into class 3 company. Market support for Doctor Ken on his return from a 616-day absence would be interesting.
DODDIETHEGREAT is the only one of these without experience over fences but he boasts a fine record when fresh and makes his debut in this sphere on a potentially good mark, particularly judged on his highly creditable fourth in the Betfair Hurdle last winter. It may have simply been a case of a 'bad day at the office' for Es Perfecto at Sandown when last seen and he will be a serious threat if resuming in top form, while Bourbali and Doctor Ken, despite a 20-month absence, also command respect.
This can go to ES PERFECTO (nap), who looks interesting off bottom weight. Doddiethegreat is second choice.

1st (3)  (1/1 +38%)Kabral Du Mathan |
1/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kabral Du Mathan 1/1, Won sole outing in France last year and made promising start for new connections when readily taking 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, soft) in January. Surely has more to offer now moving into handicap company on his return. 2-2 in juvenile hurdles last season; promising type. |

2nd (5)  (3/1 +25%)King William Rufus |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King William Rufus 3/1, Opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt when making all in a Plumpton maiden (2m, good to soft) in March. Creditable runner-up efforts on all 3 outings since (including C&D). Should give another good account. Record of 1222 since switched to front-running tactics; went close here in April; solid. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6/1 -200%)Non Stop |
6/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Non Stop 6/1, Drew a blank over fences last season but took his hurdle strike-rate to a healthy 3-6 when taking a 2m Plumpton handicap on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Should remain competitive up 5 lb. Suited by the return to hurdles on reappearance, taking record in this sphere to 3-6. |
|||
4th (1)  (28/1 -133%)Zambezi Fix |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Zambezi Fix 28/1, Added to his good Chepstow record with chase and hurdle wins last season. Ran as if needing the race on Sandown reappearance a fortnight ago and should be sharper now. Has gained all wins for current yard at Chepstow; not the percentage call. |
|||
5th (6)  (22/1 +12%)Mucuna |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mucuna 22/1, Just a modest Flat winner but quickly made up into a better hurdler in summer 2022, winning 4 juveniles. Shaped as if retaining ability back from an absence last winter but didn't show much at Newbury on recent return from another 9 months off. Well behind King William Rufus at Newbury; difficult to support with confidence. |
|||
6th (2)  (8/1 +43%)Luttrell Lad |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Luttrell Lad 8/1, Resumed winning ways at Cartmel in July 2023. Some good efforts in defeat since, including fourth of 17 in competitive Swinton at Haydock in May, but off since a poor run at Cartmel in June. Usually runs in better races; successful on sole attempt in this grade; one to consider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A switch to hurdles proved just the tonic for NON STOP when landing the spoils on his return to action at Plumpton earlier this month. Joe Tizzard's inmate is entitled to improve for that seasonal debut effort and a 5lb higher mark may not prevent him from following up. King William Rufus has filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings and the seven-year-old is expected to give another good account. The downgraded Luttrell Lad is also worth a second look.
NON STOP gets the vote ahead of the consistent King William Rufus but the unbeaten Kabral du Mathan is bang in the picture now Exeter on Sunday is off..
Back on a sharper course, KING WILLIAM RUFUS holds sound claims. Kabral Du Mathan is feared most.
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.

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.
