1st (5)  (9/4 +68%)Transatlantic |
9/4(+68%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Transatlantic 9/4, Dual Flat winner in France and off the mark over hurdles in Huntingdon novice on final outing for Gary Moore in April 2022. Has shown he still retains a fair level of ability in handicaps since returning to action for this yard and he should be competitive down in a claimer. Back on track when fourth at Wetherby 36 days ago; well in the mix dropped into a claimer. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/1 -17%)Foveros |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Foveros 7/1, Mixed record for Willie Mullins. Well below par when remote third in Huntingdon claimer on yard debut. Ran better when sixth in a handicap at Wetherby since but others are still preferred. Yet to match best form for current yard; he needs to take a step forward. |
|||
3rd (4)  (25/1 -233%)Pozo Emery |
25/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pozo Emery 25/1, Promising novice hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2021. Pulled up in 2 chase starts for new yard since returning from a long absence and it's hard to know what to expect now back hurdling in a first-time visor/tongue tie. Pulled up over fences both runs for current yard; visored/tongue tied with lots to prove. |
|||
4th (1)  (5/4 -87%)Baron De Midleton |
5/4(-87%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Baron De Midleton 5/4, Useful sort who won 3 handicap chases in 2022/23. Pulled up next 3 starts (bled on first occasion) but returned to form when taking advantage of lower hurdles mark at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago. The one to beat at this lower level. Landed 2m4f Market Rasen handicap hurdle latest; he holds major claims dropped in grade. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/2 +36%)Believe Jack |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Believe Jack 9/2, Back to winning ways in first-time cheekpieces when leading late on in Market Rasen selling handicap on Boxing Day. Can fight it out for the forecast spot with stablemate Transatlantic. Cheekpieces on when scoring at Market Rasen; firmly in picture with headgear fitted again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BARON DE MIDLETON burst back into life in a class 4 handicap hurdle at Market Rasen and is presented with a golden opportunity to go in again. Pulled up in three much tougher races prior to that return to form, the Brian Ellison-trained veteran is highly favoured under the terms of this race and is too hard to ignore. Foveros is officially rated 4lb inferior to the selection, yet edges it as best of the rest. Believe Jack is the pick of Olly Murphy's two entrants.
If BARON DE MIDLETON is in the same form as when winning in handicap company at Market Rasen recently he should take a bit of stopping. Olly Murphy pair Transatlantic and Believe Jack can give him most to do.
Brian Ellison's one-time useful chaser BARON DE MIDLETON scored in good style in this sphere at Market Rasen and is hard to oppose here

1st (4)  (14/1 +0%)Nine Nine Nine |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nine Nine Nine 14/1, Slipped up at 10th in handicap chase (15/2) at Hereford, then unseated early at this course 8 days ago. Had been in reasonable form prior to last two outings, so not discounted. Has not built on Uttoxeter effort and he failed to complete the last twice. |
|||
2nd (9)  (25/1 -56%)Committee Of One |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Committee Of One 25/1, Fallen long way in weights since opening her account at Ffos Las during early 2021 but failed to build on her reappearance when only fourth in handicap hurdle at Bangor a couple of months ago. Returns to chasing with something to prove. Cheekpieces tried. Possibilities if taking well to first-time cheekpieces; second chase attempt. |
|||
3rd (8)  (9/1 +25%)Deadly Missile |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Deadly Missile 9/1, Point winner who has bettered his bumper/hurdles form tackling fences, making the frame on several occasions. Needs to bounce back from a couple of poor runs, though. Form dipped the last twice and he looks more exposed than some of these rivals. |
|||
4th (1)  (4/1 +0%)Hurricane Vichi |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hurricane Vichi 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good to soft, 9/2). First run for yard after leaving Milton Harris. Moody display on chasing debut (penultimate start) but could take to it better this time. Heed the market signals on debut for new stable and second chase attempt. |
|||
5th (3)  (11/4 +21%)Caeruleum |
11/4(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Caeruleum 11/4, Upped his game switched to fences for the first time when 4¼ lengths second to Percy Veering at Exeter last month. Disappointing at Wincanton last time but worth another chance. Has low mileage; disappointing last time but may still do better; remains of interest. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (5/1 +38%)Patient Owner |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Patient Owner 5/1, Found just one too good on chase debut at Uttoxeter in December 2022 but seemingly gone the wrong way since and pulled up both starts this season. Has had a wind op and visor also tried here. Check the betting. Combination of wind surgery and first-time visor needs to help. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (6/1 +0%)General Hubble |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) General Hubble 6/1, Much improved sent handicap hurdling in cheekpieces and he got off the mark at Market Rasen (23f) in November. Not in same form next time and stable is quiet. Visored for chasing debut. Scored over hurdles two starts ago; may still have more to offer; chase debut. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (11/2 -38%)Tara Cove |
11/2(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tara Cove 11/2, Winning pointer who has been brought along steadily over hurdles and looks the type to up his game now switched to this sphere. One to be interested in, particularly if the market speaks in his favour back from wind op. Progressive in points, winning three times; interesting contender on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The class-dropping Hurricane Vichi is one to monitor closely in the betting on his debut for a new yard. However, this will be only his second run over fences and there are grounds for looking elsewhere given he concedes weight all round. CAERULEUM appeals most judged on his Exeter form two starts ago and now Sam Twiston-Davies takes over in the plate. Tara Cove and Deadly Missile complete the shortlist.
TARA COVE has already won three points and, while he was only able to achieve modest form over hurdles, there's a good chance he will up his game now switched to the larger obstacles, so he's preferred to Caeruleum, who made a positive chasing debut on his penultimate outing. Nine Nine Nine is also respected.
Low-mileage 6yo CAERULEUM is worth another chance. Tara Cove is second choice.

1st (1)  (Evens +50%)Awaythelad |
Evens(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Awaythelad Evens, Runner-up in a decent Lingfield handicap last month prior to going one better in first-time cheekpieces when making all in a big-field Ludlow maiden (21.2f, heavy). Beau Morgan's claim negates the majority of his 6 lb penalty and he's a big player. Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow, opening his account; leading player. |
|||
2nd (3)  (6/5 +20%)Roger Pol |
6/5(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Roger Pol 6/5, Dual bumper winner who built on his Newton Abbot hurdle debut second when going one better over 2m at Fakenham at the start of November. Didn't do much wrong when finding just one too good upped in trip for his handicap debut at Ascot (21.6f, good) and he represents a yard in terrific form. Has form figures of 212 over hurdles; ran well at Ascot latest; strong contender. |
|||
3rd (2)  (25/1 -150%)Giacosa |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Giacosa 25/1, Out of a winning hurdler and, having shown ability in a couple of bumpers, he made a winning start over hurdles in France in October. However, subsequent effort at Nantes was poor and needs to get back on track returned to these shores with a first-time hood enlisted. Sent to France for both hurdles starts, winning then pulled up; check the betting. |
|||
4th (4)  (16/1 -78%)Bennettsbridge |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bennettsbridge 16/1, Fetched £43,000 after finishing placed on both completed starts in Irish points but failed to meet market expectations (sent off at 5/6) when only fourth on Rules debut in a Fakenham maiden hurdle. Losing a shoe didn't help at Fakenham on rules debut; open to improvement. |
|||
5th (6)  (300/1 -275%)Professor Higgins |
300/1(-275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Professor Higgins 300/1, Showed fair form when placed twice in bumpers but laboured performances over hurdles so far. Tongue strap applied. Combination of tongue-tie and new trip needs to have major effect. |
|||
6th (8)  (14/1 -56%)Valdivi |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Valdivi 14/1, Pivotal gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including useful French 7.5f winner Vanada. Dam 9.5f/15f winner on Flat in France. Represents a top yard and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say. 6,000euros 2yo; has a Flat pedigree; market instructive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ROGER POL keeps attracting market support, justifying it in a Huntingdon bumper last spring and at the second time of asking over hurdles at Fakenham. He had to settle for second on his handicap bow at Ascot, but lost absolutely nothing in defeat and can continue on his upward curve. Awaythelad is an obvious danger after breaking his duck at Ludlow, while Bennettsbridge should appreciate the return to a more conventional track having not appeared to handle Fakenham.
AWAYTHELAD did the job well with cheekpieces enlisted at Ludlow and he is marginally preferred to Roger Pol. The latter was clear of the rest when runner-up in an Ascot handicap last time and won't go down without a fight.
The withdrawal of interesting Rocket Ronald promotes AWAYTHELAD to selection status, narrowly ahead of Roger Pol.

1st (2)  (3/1 +57%)Royale Dance |
3/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Royale Dance 3/1, Fair winner at 2m for Dan Skelton (stays 21f) but ended time with that yard with a tame effort in the spring. Given a considerate return following 9 months off/wind surgery when fifth of 9 in mares' handicap at Aintree in December. This should reveal more with tongue tie re-applied. Back from nine months off/breathing op with patiently-ridden Aintree 5th; shortlisted. |
|||
2nd (5)  (2/1 +50%)Cooleenymore |
2/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cooleenymore 2/1, Chased home a subsequent winner on handicap debut at Chepstow (23.6f) in November and made the frame both starts since, weakening late on having been in the firing line for a long way when third at Wincanton (24.7f) last month. Fancied to figure dropped back in trip. Faded from last on first go over 3m when Wincanton 3rd last time; big shout back in trip. |
|||
3rd (4)  (4/1 -190%)Another Day Out |
4/1(-190%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Another Day Out 4/1, Winning Irish pointer who got back on track when second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (19.8f, heavy) 53 days ago. Not discounted. Good second at Sandown latest; firmly in the picture up 1lb with few miles on the clock. |
|||
4th (3)  (12/1 -85%)Nell's Bells |
12/1(-85%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Nell's Bells 12/1, Bumper winner who scored twice from 4 starts over hurdles last season, including a 6-runner mares' handicap at Newcastle (23.7f, good to soft) in April, edging ahead run-in. Low-key return following 9 months off at Kelso 33 days ago, however. Returned from 9 months off with well-held fifth at Kelso; needs to take big step forward. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (7/2 -17%)Walk Of No Shame |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Walk Of No Shame 7/2, Bumper/novice hurdle winner last winter who added to her tally in a 3-runner handicap at Southwell (2m, soft) on penultimate start in December. Not disgraced by any means when third from career-high mark at Newbury since and this ease back down in class rates a plus. Won at Southwell and solid third at Newbury later in December; very much one to consider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ANOTHER DAY OUT bounced back to form with a solid second at Sandown and a 1lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent her from finishing one place better. Cooleenymore's stamina appeared stretched in testing conditions when third over an extended 3m at Wincanton. She isn't taken lightly dropping back in distance and is feared most, ahead of the consistent Walk Of No Shame.
There has been enough encouragement to glean from COOLEENYMORE's efforts in handicaps to think her present mark is exploitable and, dropped in trip on the back of her third-place finish at Wincanton 50 days ago, she could well be ready to strike. Another Day Out and Walk of No Shame can pose the chief threats.
Robert Walford's mare COOLEENYMORE gave the strong impression this drop in trip would suit when third at Wincanton and gets the verdict

7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Grandads Cottage 7/2, Irish point/hurdles winner who made an excellent start over fences last season, scoring twice around 19.5f. Better effort this term when third over 3m at Aintree on Boxing Day. Has a first-time tongue tie added here. Respected. Good third at Aintree 36 days ago; very much one to consider eased 1lb and tongue-strap on. |
|||
2nd (7)  (8/1 -78%)Will Sting |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Will Sting 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler who got off the mark over fences at the second attempt at Doncaster a year ago. Respectable reappearance fifth at Lingfield in November but well-held fourth at Sandown the following month. Subsequently had wind surgery. Failed to build on Lingfield fifth with Sandown fourth; since had wind op so not ruled out. |
|||
3rd (5)  (4/1 -33%)Sheldon |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sheldon 4/1, Third chase win of his career when seeing off 6 rivals at Wincanton on Boxing Day, proving suited by a switch to front-running tactics. Jumped better than usual there but he still comes with risks in that department. Fenced better than usual when winning at Wincanton; not taken lightly if jumping holds up. |
|||
4th (3)  (2/1 +67%)Nocte Volatus |
2/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Nocte Volatus 2/1, Losing run goes back nearly 2 years but he has run with credit to be placed on all 3 outings this season, his Newcastle third coming on the back of wind surgery. Being eased another 2 lb can only help. Winless since early 2022 but arrives in good nick; must enter calculations off 2lb lower. |
|||
5th (2)  (25/1 -56%)Jet Plane |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jet Plane 25/1, Started the season with back-to-back wins over 3¼m at Ludlow and Newton Abbot but has lost his way since. Remains to be seen whether a return to this shorter trip helps to spark a revival. His form has nosedived since kickstarting this term with wins at Ludlow and Newton Abbot. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (10/3 -11%)Oxygen |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Oxygen 10/3, Hurdle winner in France in 2021. Made a low-key start for this yard over hurdles last winter but different proposition over fences this time round, winning handicaps at Lingfield and Plumpton. Disappointed on hat-trick bid back at Plumpton but he might be worth another chance. Won at Lingfield/Plumpton but beat only one at Plumpton since; remains of interest though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A 2lb drop in the ratings can help Nocte Volatus, who has been far from disgraced this season, for all that he hasn't managed to get his head in front for the best part of two years. He must enter calculations, but GRANDADS COTTAGE shades the verdict. Olly Murphy's gelding shaped better than the beaten distance suggested when third at Aintree on Boxing Day, with Dylan Johnston's 7lb claim potentially proving pivotal in this contest. Sheldon and Oxygen also warrant a second look.
Another chance is given to OXYGEN to show he's still on a good mark. Nocte Volatus has been performing with credit and a further 2 lb drop in his mark should see him get very competitive here. Top-weight Grandads Cottage should also have a say.
Venetia Williams' OXYGEN had looked a really good chasing prospect until fluffing his lines at Plumpton and can bounce back in style.

1st (3)  (13/2 +46%)One Eye On Vegas |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) One Eye On Vegas 13/2, Third on bumper debut in March 2021 but hasn't built on that over hurdles since, for all that his latest fifth of 12 on handicap debut here (15.5f, heavy) was a decent effort. More needed now that he moves back up in trip with first-time cheekpieces added. Best effort on handicap debut when fifth here three weeks ago; cheekpieces on; considered. |
|||
2nd (7)  (9/4 +36%)Lady Balko |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lady Balko 9/4, Failed to trouble the judge in a trio of novice hurdles but this former point winner showed more spark when fourth of 12 on her handicap bow here (15.5f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. 1 lb lower now and perhaps this step up in trip will help eke out some improvement. Best run on h'cap debut when fourth here three weeks ago; possibilities upped in trip. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/2 -29%)Passing Kate |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Passing Kate 9/2, Has made a positive start for in-form yard this season, off the mark here (15.5f, heavy) in November and put in a good shift when finding just one too good back up in trip at Ffos Las next time. Solid each-way chance. Scored here before excellent second at Ffos Las; she can go well again. |
|||
4th (2)  (7/1 -155%)Jo Lescribaa |
7/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jo Lescribaa 7/1, Placed in a couple of bumpers in France and bettered previous hurdles efforts when third in a 6-runner novice here (15.5f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. Appears to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and very much of interest now pitched into one and faced with a stiffer test. Been brought along steadily, third in novice here latest; most interesting now in h'caps. |
|||
5th (8)  (13/2 +19%)Silver Atom |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Silver Atom 13/2, Poor maiden hurdler for Ben Pauling but has won on the Flat for this yard last year and has made the frame in back-to-back 19.7f Hereford handicaps returned to this sphere the last twice. Should have a part to play. Good fourth of 12 in Hereford handicap latest; ought to be in the shake-up off same mark. |
|||
6th (10)  (18/1 -50%)Getaway With You |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Getaway With You 18/1, Maiden who appears to have taken steps forward the last twice, latterly finishing fifth in a 12-runner Sedgefield (19.8f, heavy) contest from 7 lb out of the handicap. Place possibilities. Remains a maiden but very good Sedgefield fifth latest; much respected. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (10/1 +17%)Mini Yeats |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mini Yeats 10/1, Has made the frame on several occasions in maiden, novice and handicap company, and didn't shape badly when fifth in a big-field Wincanton maiden (15.2f, heavy) on first start for 13 months. Not so good in a handicap over the same C&D next time and improvement needed now upped in trip. Not discredited when fourth at Wincanton 25 days ago; he's shortlisted back up in trip. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (14/1 -56%)Bushtucker Park |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bushtucker Park 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped well when third of 10 to Annie Day in a Warwick handicap (19f, heavy) in November (left with too much to do). However, followed that with a poor effort at Bangor and she needs to get back on track. Had been in good form without winning in handicaps until pulled up at Bangor in December. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (14/1 -17%)Well Paid Soldier |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Well Paid Soldier 14/1, Showed more than previously in first-time cheekpieces when third in 7-runner handicap at Bangor (23f, heavy) last time. Eased 2 lb since and she's not without each-way hope. Cheekpieces on when third at Bangor 60 days ago; no forlorn hope with headgear retained. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (28/1 -12%)Wotastunner |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wotastunner 28/1, Completed for the first time from 3 starts in this sphere when fourth of 16 in a first-time visor at Exeter (18.5f, heavy) last month. This stiffer test promises to suit now that he ventures down the handicap route but others look stronger all the same. Visored and first form when fourth in Exeter novice 30 days ago; more needed now h'capping. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (150/1 -275%)La Referi |
150/1(-275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) La Referi 150/1, Has achieved very little in half-a-dozen starts over hurdles to date and she's hard to warm to. Has offered little in her six starts over hurdles; she's hard to make a case for. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (150/1 -127%)Kalibrate |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Kalibrate 150/1, Looks set for another struggle from a long way out of the weights. Yet to show any form of note and pulled up at Hereford on return; easy to look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Point-to-point winner LADY BALKO likely found an extended 1m7f on the sharp side when fourth here earlier in the month. The stiffer test of stamina looks sure to suit David Pipe's mare and she could take this contest en route to better things. Passing Kate, who scored at this venue in November, posted a solid second at Ffos Las subsequently. She may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Well Paid Soldier.
The most interesting of these is JO LESCRIBAA, who looks nailed-on to improve now moving up in trip for this handicap debut. Silver Atom should have a part to play on the back of creditable efforts at Hereford on his last two starts and he is second choice ahead of Passing Kate and Well Paid Soldier. Lady Balko is also worthy of mention.
