1st (3)  (1/1 +20%)East Street |
1/1(+20%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) East Street 1/1, Back to best, in first-time visor, when easily taking 9-runner handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, good to soft, 7/2) 4 days ago. Looks well in under 7 lb penalty and holds strong follow-up claims. Won easily in first-time visor at Wetherby four days ago; major player under 7lb penalty. |
|||
2nd (6)  (20/1 -67%)Scene One |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scene One 20/1, Dual winner (at up to 21.2f) over fences last season but arrives on back of a poor reappearance at Bangor and makes limited appeal. Competitively treated on his Fakenham and Market Rasen wins in this grade last term. |
|||
3rd (1)  (28/1 -40%)Golden Whisky |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Golden Whisky 28/1, Hurdle and multiple chase winner who shaped as if better for outing, back from 20 months off, when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, soft) 32 days ago. This run should reveal more. Stone below last winning mark but it's not fully clear how much ability he retains. |
|||
4th (5)  (4/1 +50%)Fire Dancer |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fire Dancer 4/1, Made a winning start for this yard on the back of a lengthy absence at Ludlow in January 2023. Proved inconsistent since, but has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted a good second under this pilot at Ffos Las when last seen in May. Step back up to 2m4f looks a plus and he's attractively handicapped; possibilities. |
|||
5th (2)  (11/1 +31%)Glencassley |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Glencassley 11/1, Off the mark in this sphere at Hereford (20.9f) in March but has disappointed the last twice and remains to be seen if recent wind operation sparks a revival in form. Folded tamely last time; had wind surgery (his second) since so may be able to rebound. |
|||
|U| (4)  (3/1 -33%)Nickelforce |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nickelforce 3/1, Consistent over hurdles and found immediate improvement sent chasing, scoring on debut at Stratford (22.6f) and following up in Ludlow handicap (20f, good to soft) 38 days ago. 7 lb higher now but remains open to improvement. Couple of comfortable wins since switched to chasing, latest at Ludlow; commands respect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having scored comfortably over 3m under today's rider at Wetherby on Wednesday, EAST STREET is an obvious starting point turned out under a 7lb penalty with the drop back down to 2m4f only a slight concern. Swapping cheekpieces for a visor seemed to perk him up on that occasion and, assuming he shows the same zest, the James Owen-trained gelding could be hard to beat. The hat-trick seeking Nickelforce is feared most, although Fire Dancer enters calculations with his yard in excellent form.
NICKELFORCE is going the right way over fences and can complete his hat-trick in the opener. Recent Wetherby winner East Street has a shorter trip to contend with here but is still much respected.
With further improvement a clear possibility, NICKELFORCE gets the vote. Fire Dancer and East Street are respected.

1st (7)  (5/6 +44%)Morning Air |
5/6(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Morning Air 5/6, Fairly useful Flat winner, second of 5 in minor event at Lyon Parilly (10.9f, soft, 15/10). Off 6 months and first run for yard after leaving S. Wattel, she possesses the raw ability to be a major factor now hurdling. The best horse in this field, judged on her French Flat form; commands respect. |
|||
2nd (5)  (17/2 -70%)Roi De Baviere |
17/2(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Roi De Baviere 17/2, Fair maiden on Flat in France (stays 1½m), placed 3 times but well held latest outing. Left Fabrice Vermeulen €6,000 in July and sent to successful NH yard but just a reasonable hurdles debut at Newcastle. Flat maiden in France; some promise at Newcastle on debut over hurdles. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6/1 +25%)Mach Ten |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mach Ten 6/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Karl Burke. New connections went to 35,000 gns to acquire him in July and given a considerate introduction when fifth of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Wincanton 35 days ago. Can take a sizeable step forward. Flat maiden; modest fifth in Wincanton juvenile hurdle won by a smart sort. |
|||
4th (1)  (5/2 -33%)Belcamo |
5/2(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Belcamo 5/2, Belardo gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Hawkhill. Fair on Flat, successful at Goodwood (12f) in June. Showed plenty when second of 8 starting out over hurdles at Fontwell a fortnight ago and is sure to build on that. Flat winner; brings the best piece of hurdles form, judged on Fontwell effort. |
|||
5th (3)  (50/1 -213%)Estate Planning |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Estate Planning 50/1, Brother to bumper winner Ever Present. Fair form on first of 3 starts in Flat maidens for Mrs J. Harrington. Bit disappointing after and now goes hurdling. Regressive form in Flat maidens for Jessica Harrington. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (300/1 -50%)You And Whose Army |
300/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) You And Whose Army 300/1, Half-brother to dual bumper winner Arthur's Seat (by Champs Elysees), stayed 27f over hurdles, dam half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Jorobaden. Tailed-off last in maiden/minor event on Flat for J. S. Moore. Tailed-off last in both Flat outings for Stan Moore. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MORNING AIR handled heavy ground when she won over 1m2f on the Flat in France and, as a half-sister to a winner in this discipline, there is a lot to like as she gets a 7lb fillies allowance on her first start for the in-form Venetia Williams yard. Belcamo was a promising second on his hurdles debut at Fontwell last month and should also be a key player. Roi De Baviere can go well if building on a respectable hurdles bow at Newcastle.
MORNING AIR possessed her share of ability on the level in France and having transferred to a successful yard, she could well be up to the task at the first attempt over hurdles in receipt of weight from all. Belcamo's opening effort in this sphere was encouraging so he's an obvious threat, along with Mach Ten.
Ex-French MORNING AIR holds leading claims provided her Flat ability is transferred to this code. Belcamo is second choice.

1st (7)  (4/1 +20%)Kosasiempre |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kosasiempre 4/1, Dual 2m4f hurdle winner at Market Rasen early this summer. Good placed efforts last 2 starts and makes chasing debut in ordinary race. Consistent over hurdles this term; thereabouts provided she transfers the form to fences. |
|||
2nd (8)  (10/1 -233%)Getbazoutofhere |
10/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Getbazoutofhere 10/1, Belatedly opened her account in determined style at Hereford in May and followed up there on return last month, making all. Definite player. 2-2 this term, both wins at Hereford; the hat-trick is entirely possible in current form. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/1 +50%)Moviddy |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Moviddy 7/1, Dual 2m4f hurdles winner but yet to add to that over fences and made mistakes as usual when well held at Lingfield last time. Others are preferred. Has shown regressive form this term, taking chase record to 0-7. |
|||
4th (5)  (5/1 -11%)Gazette Bourgeoise |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gazette Bourgeoise 5/1, Yet to score in 11 starts over fences but probably should have won when beaten only a nose at Ffos Las a year ago. Back to that level when runner-up at Fakenham on return but needs to back that up now. 0-11 over fences but posted a solid effort at Fakenham most recently; fighting chance. |
|||
5th (4)  (28/1 -133%)Fortunefavorsdbold |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fortunefavorsdbold 28/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and left previous form for this yard well behind with a brace of handicap chase wins at Huntingdon/Lingfield. Struggled since, however. Successful in February/March; far from solid on her subsequent form. |
|||
6th (6)  (11/4 +17%)Kit's Coty |
11/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kit's Coty 11/4, Placed all 3 starts in Irish points (£60,000 purchase) and made it third time lucky in this sphere when landing a mares' maiden at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. Came close to making a winning chase bow at Ludlow on return and entitled to build on that. Solid third, splitting subsequent scorers, at Ludlow (chase debut) last time; respected. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (5/1 +38%)Getaway Theatre |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Getaway Theatre 5/1, Point winner who was well suited by emphasis on stamina when making a successful hurdle debut over 2¾m at Stratford last term. Couldn't really build on that, though not disgraced in face of a stiff task on chase bow at Worcester on return. Point/hurdle winner; open to progress on handicap debut and second chase attempt. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (14/1 +13%)Anti Bridgie |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Anti Bridgie 14/1, Fair form in winning her first 2 starts over hurdles last season and took advantage of a weak race to open her account over fences in a 5-runner novice at Warwick (2½m heavy) in March. Wasn't disgraced at Uttoxeter next time but offered little at Bangor on return. Form dipped on seasonal debut but she's normally consistent and could well rebound. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GETBAZOUTOFHERE returned from a break to register her second win over fences at Hereford last month and has to be of serious interest off just 6lb higher. There are several dangers, though, and the likes of Gazette Bourgeoise and Kit's Coty are both capable of making the selection pull out all the stops if they handle the forecast ground conditions. Chasing debutant Kosasiempre can also figure if she takes a shine to the larger obstacles at the first time of asking.
KIT'S COTY matched the pick of her hurdles form sent chasing when a close third at Ludlow on return and gets the vote off the same mark. Hat-trick seeking Getbazoutofhere and chase-debutante Kosasiempre are feared most.
On the back of a very solid effort, KIT'S COTY (nap) looks the one to side with. Gazette Bourgeoise is second pick.

1st (4)  (11/8 -25%)Hara Kiri |
11/8(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hara Kiri 11/8, Highly positive start for new yard around the turn of the year, landing back-to-back handicaps at Market Rasen/Ludlow in February. Remains sufficiently lightly raced to think he can improve further this campaign. Shortlisted. Record of 311 since joining current stable and switched to handicaps; warrants respect. |
|||
2nd (8)  (10/1 +29%)Snapius |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Snapius 10/1, Largely struggled (in this sphere and on the Flat) after winning a Cork maiden hurdle for previous connections in March 2023. Little impact in 4 starts on the level since joining this yard and well held over further here 13 days ago. Drop back in trip a likely plus at least. Shaped better than bare result over 2m4f here on the return to hurdles; interesting. |
|||
3rd (7)  (15/2 +38%)Double Click |
15/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Double Click 15/2, Bounced back with a career-best effort to land a 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March. Runner-up there next time and whilst below par at Ffos Las when last seen in May he returns to action with his yard going very nicely. Has never won when fresh; not the percentage call on return from layoff. |
|||
4th (6)  (9/1 -80%)Kuzco |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kuzco 9/1, Ran to a fair level in bumpers in France for Emmanuel Clayeux. More impact than previously after 7 months off/on qualifying hurdles run when fifth of 14 in novice at Stratford (16.3f) 31 days ago and he's just the type his yard do well with in handicaps. Has shown ability; open to improvement now qualified for handicaps; one to consider. |
|||
5th (1)  (12/1 +64%)Foveros |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Foveros 12/1, Winless since 2019 but was placed 3 times in claiming company earlier this year. However, not firing on all cylinders on Flat/over hurdles more recently and others more persuasive on balance. Has a fighting chance on bits of 2024 form but is on a very long losing spell. |
|||
6th (2)  (9/2 -50%)Activist |
9/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Activist 9/2, Fairly useful on Flat in France and already tasted success 3 times over hurdles for new yard, dispelling pair of lesser efforts following 6 months off when landing 10-runner C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, keeping on gamely. Respected up 6 lb with a repeat. Rebounded in C&D contest two weeks ago, making it three wins from his last five starts. |
|||
7th (3)  (7/1 +36%)Royal Rhythm |
7/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Royal Rhythm 7/1, Twice successful on soft/heavy last winter and possibly had drying ground against him after 6 months off when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Fallen back down to last winning mark and not dismissed with conditions in his favour. Won off this mark at Wetherby last Boxing Day; good chance granted a return to form. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (33/1 +0%)I Have A Voice |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) I Have A Voice 33/1, Won twice in juvenile hurdles in 2022/23 season but well below that level in 3 handicaps last season. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance. Best watched unless the betting hints otherwise. Poor form last term; chance depends on whether summer wind surgery has helped. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (150/1 -200%)Skeeter Park |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Skeeter Park 150/1, Pulled up both starts in Irish points and no better than modest form over hurdles for Mick Appleby during 2023. Has it to prove back from 15 months off now starting out for new stable. 7yo maiden; returns from 15-month absence and makes debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HARA KIRI showed no ill-effects when returning from a long absence last season, improving on a C&D third to win both subsequent outings at Market Rasen and Ludlow. The handicapper put him up 2lb for the latest of those wins and it wouldn't be a surprise if the seven-year-old hasn't reached his ceiling of ability yet. Double Click showed a fair level of form earlier in the year and conditions are unlikely to be an issue, while Activist has to be respected too.
This looks a pretty warm race for the grade with HARA KIRI narrowly selected to pick up where he left off 9 months ago and complete the hat-trick with his yard continuing in good order. Kuzco rates a likely improver now handicapping and he needs monitoring in the betting for positive vibes. Double Click, for the in-form Jamie Snowden yard, and Activist complete the dangers.
Back down in distance off an attractive mark, SNAPIUS is preferred. Interesting handicap debutant Kuzco is second choice.

1st (3)  (2/7 +50%)Indeevar Bleu |
2/7(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Indeevar Bleu 2/7, Above-average bumper performer who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth in a novice at Ayr on hurdling debut 13 months ago. Should be able to open his account here. Impressive in Wetherby bumper then made late gains in Ayr novice hurdle, both in 2023. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/2 -40%)Sonification |
7/2(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sonification 7/2, Won a Chepstow bumper for Oliver Sherwood in spring 2022. Promise both starts over hurdles, leaving that yard in between, and remains open to improvement. Bumper winner; solid fifth (form has substance) in both attempts over hurdles. |
|||
3rd (6)  (25/1 -14%)Walden |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Walden 25/1, Just minor promise in a trio of bumpers for Tom Weston. Changed hands for £22,000 in May and was no threat in a novice at Fontwell in October. Others make more appeal. Plenty to find on form. |
|||
4th (7)  (80/1 -142%)Scene Stealer |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Scene Stealer 80/1, Half-sister to 5 winners, including useful hurdler Tarkari and fair hurdler Taradoun, stayed 2½m. Runner-up in a bumper at Stratford on debut 15 months ago but not seen since and tongue tied now switched to hurdles. Runner-up in modest bumper on rules debut and absent for 465 days since. |
|||
5th (4)  (12/1 +40%)Leech |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Leech 12/1, From the family of smart hurdler (stayed 19f) Local Hero and won a Chepstow bumper in February. Only sixth at Ffos Las on hurdling debut, so may need more time in this sphere. Won going away in Chepstow bumper the last time he raced on heavy ground. |
|||
6th (2)  (16/1 -14%)Grandad's Cap |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Grandad's Cap 16/1, Every chance when fell in a point, then offered encouragement on first hurdling outing. Stiff task at Cheltenham last time and more of a handicap project now. Drops back in class but needs improvement to get off the mark. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (250/1 +0%)As Good As Can Be |
250/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) As Good As Can Be 250/1, Milan gelding who hails from a good family but looks limited on early evidence. Little worthwhile form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
INDEEVAR BLEU looked a potentially smart prospect when winning his bumper at Wetherby in March 2023 before not fulfilling that promise on his only run over hurdles at Ayr last November against some useful types. Returning from over a year off the track, Olly Murphy's gelding has been found the ideal opportunity to open his account over timber. Sonification is expected to step forward from his Uttoxeter run, given that was his first for almost two years, and he is respected along with Stratford bumper runner-up Scene Stealer.
INDEEVAR BLEU shaped well on hurdling debut and has the scope for a good deal of improvement based on bumper exploits, so he's a straightforward choice despite having to overcome a 13-month absence. Sonifaction is the main threat.
Indeevar Bleu warrants respect despite the lengthy absence. SONIFICATION is the other main contender on hurdles form.

14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jumper Madrik 14/1, From good French family but tailed off in novice/maiden hurdles. Up in trip for handicap/chase debut. Thrice-raced 5yo who is owned by JP McManus; possible improver on handicap/chase debut. |
|||
2nd (8)  (2/1 +40%)Lunar Ocean |
2/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lunar Ocean 2/1, Bettered hurdles form when runner-up both starts for this yard over fences, though was most irresolute under pressure. Has the ability to defy this sort of mark but is clearly risky, Good second in both starts since joining new yard and switched to fences; respected. |
|||
3rd (4)  (5/1 -11%)Gavroche D'allier |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gavroche D'allier 5/1, Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles in 2022/23 but is an interesting runner returning from lay-off for bigger yard. 8yo maiden; returns from long absence and makes debut for new yard; market helpful. |
|||
4th (9)  (28/1 +58%)Ceejaybe |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ceejaybe 28/1, Poor maiden hurdler who is easy to oppose on chase bow. Chase debutant who is far from solid on 2024 form. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 -140%)Brother Boris |
12/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brother Boris 12/1, Showed ability in a bumper and 2 hurdles in the spring. Shaped as if needing the run at Sandown on return and no surprise to see him do better over fences given his physique/pedigree. May be capable of improvement now handicapping and switched to fences. |
|||
6th (5)  (25/1 0%)J'habite En France |
25/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) J'habite En France 25/1, Regressive over hurdles and went with no encouragement sent chasing after 5 months off at Stratford. Headgear on. Pulled up in both runs this term; addition of blinkers needs to help. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (5/1 +29%)Libor Lad |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Libor Lad 5/1, Winner of 2½m handicap hurdles in the mud at Uttoxeter and Doncaster last winter. Ended last season with a couple of poor efforts but made a promising first effort over fences when second at Stratford on return. Easy to forgive next start so not taken lightly. Two contrasting results switched to fences this term, better effort on reappearance. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (14/1 +65%)Totowolfe |
14/1(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Totowolfe 14/1, Irish point winner who has shown little since shaping with some encouragement on his hurdling debut. Makes chase bow. May improve for this switch to chasing, being a point winner. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (150/1 -88%)Getaway Tothe Wood |
150/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Getaway Tothe Wood 150/1, No show over hurdles. Off 13 months. Makes chase/handicap debut. Poor claims on hurdles form; 7lb out of weights on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LUNAR OCEAN lost little in defeat when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Huntingdon last month and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. A 2lb rise looks more than workable for Billy Aprahamian's gelding and he should take all the beating if coping with softer ground conditions. Libor Lad was too bad to be true when pulled up at Bangor in October and this right-handed track should see him in a better light given the six-year-old's inclination to jump that way. Market support for chase/handicap debutant Jumper Madrik would be interesting.
JAC JUMPER failed to see out the longer trip at Huntingdon 4 weeks ago so is well worth another chance back down in class. Libor Lad is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise so is next best ahead of the quirky Lunar Ocean.
In-form maiden LUNAR OCEAN looks a particularly solid contender on recent efforts. Jac Jumper is second choice.

1st (2)  (11/8 -10%)Barra Blue |
11/8(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Barra Blue 11/8, Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers. Comfortably held over hurdles to date but very much the type to do better now handicapping upn in trip. Could turn things around now she's qualified for a mark and dropped into a weak field. |

2nd (1)  (16/1 -540%)Near Dark |
16/1(-540%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Near Dark 16/1, Point winner in April 2022 and left previous hurdling efforts behind when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on debut for this yard five months ago. Could build on that now handicapping. Placed at Uttoxeter on last appearance; possibilities on handicap/stable debut. |
|||
3rd (4)  (5/6 +58%)Gaia Vallis |
5/6(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gaia Vallis 5/6, It's been a while since her last victory but she has posted some creditable efforts in defeat, including when second at Plumpton on return. May strip fitter for it and another solid showing seems likely. The only course winner in this field and is attractively handicapped; fighting chance. |
|||
4th (5)  (20/1 +70%)Porridge |
20/1(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Porridge 20/1, Fourth on sole outing in points but has yet to show any ability under Rules and looks up against it again. Modest third at Fakenham on handicap debut; again well out of the weights. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (20/1 +0%)Dreaming Diamond |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dreaming Diamond 20/1, Bumper winner but didn't kick on over hurdles and well held so far for this yard. Back over hurdles. Inconsistent since winning a bumper over two years ago; new headgear needs to help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
NEAR DARK seemed to appreciate making the running when third on her only start for Henry Daly at Uttoxeter in June and similar tactics on her handicap debut might see the eight-year-old gain a first success under Rules. Barra Blue showed ability in a couple of bumpers and has to be of interest along with recent Plumpton second Gaia Vallis.
BARRA BLUE has shown minimal promise over hurdles to date but she's up in trip for handicap debut and, based on her hurdling debut, she's potentially thrown in off a mark of 85. She's preferred to the in-form but more exposed Gaia Vallis, while Near Dark is another one to note having her first go in handicaps.
Handicap debutantes Barra Blue and Near Dark are interesting. GAIA VALLIS is far more exposed but she's respected on form.
