---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (9) (10/1 -122%) My Louise |
10/1(-122%) | (9) My Louise 10/1, Made a winning debut in a Fontwell debut in September. That was a weak race and she'll likely need improvement to defy the penalty. Finished well to justify support on her Fontwell debut and she's respected under penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/2 -56%) Juri |
7/2(-56%) | (7) Juri 7/2, €55,000 Sea The Moon gelding. Brother to German 9f-11f winner Java Moon and half-brother to a winner. Likely type on paper for a stable with a good bumper strike-rate. 55,000euros 3yo; represents in-form yard and he's an interesting newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (10/3 +33%) Land Of Moon |
10/3(+33%) | (8) Land Of Moon 10/3, Spanish Moon gelding. Half-brother to 7.5f winner in France Lantin. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Dara Tango. Would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. Makes some appeal on paper and yard has had a bumper debut winner this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8/1 +11%) Jackalani |
8/1(+11%) | (4) Jackalani 8/1, Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam bumper/fairly useful 2m hurdle winner. Newcomer to note in the betting. Has bumper winners on his dam's side and needs checking in market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (50/1 -100%) Greenways |
50/1(-100%) | (2) Greenways 50/1, 40/1, eighth of 15 in bumper at Hereford (good to soft) on debut 20 days ago. Disappointing favourite in two British points and was well held on rules debut last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 -33%) Gallant Approach |
6/1(-33%) | (1) Gallant Approach 6/1, 11/1, well-beaten twelfth of 14 to Fiercely Proud in listed bumper at Cheltenham on debut 11 months ago. That was a tough ask and he's worth a betting check with his sights lowered on return. Tailed off on his Cheltenham debut in January; needs a transformation on comeback. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/1 +21%) Jasper Boy |
11/1(+21%) | (5) Jasper Boy 11/1, £17,000 Kapgarde gelding. Half-brother to French hurdler/chase winner Celtic Dream. The stable won this race last year so it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Yard won this last year and interesting to see how he figures in market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (80/1 -142%) Jumpamidthestars |
80/1(-142%) | (6) Jumpamidthestars 80/1, 18/1 and tongue tied, thirteenth of 15 in bumper at Hereford (good to soft, 18/1) on debut 20 days ago. Half-brother to a bumper winner but he didn't show much at Hereford on recent debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (12/1 -71%) Dropitlikeitshot |
12/1(-71%) | (12) Dropitlikeitshot 12/1, Pour Moir filly who showed promise when fourth of 14 on her C&D debut last month. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Made an encouraging start over C&D last month and she should improve for the experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (200/1 -100%) Misting |
200/1(-100%) | (13) Misting 200/1, 33/1, eleventh of 12 in bumper at Exeter on debut 21 days ago. Neds to leave that well behind. Ran green at Exeter (2m, good to soft) last month and she was beaten a long way at 33-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (33/1 +0%) Serve Your Soul |
33/1(+0%) | (14) Serve Your Soul 33/1, Kayf Tara mare. Closely related to fair hurdler Teescomponentstrig and half-sister to fair hurdler/chaser Fenland Tiger. Dropitlikeitshot likely the stable first string unless the betting hints otherwise. Stablemate of Dropitlikeitshot and she looks a longer-term prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (7/2 +65%) Head Over Hinds |
7/2(+65%) | (3) Head Over Hinds 7/2, Modest form in turf bumpers 5 months apart. Promising effort at Hereford in October and he's open to more progress; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (100/1 -100%) Simon The Seagull |
100/1(-100%) | (11) Simon The Seagull 100/1, Getaway gelding. Dam (h76), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) You Must Know Me. Yard 0-8 in bumpers in recent years; best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (200/1 -100%) Ronster Monster |
200/1(-100%) | (10) Ronster Monster 200/1, 50/1, last of 10 in bumper at Bangor (soft) on debut 68 days ago. 50-1 for his Bangor debut (2m, soft) in October and he finished a tailed-off last of ten. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MY LOUISE impressed when getting up late on to score on her debut at Fontwell last month and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop this talented mare from following up. Gallant Approach was pitched in at the deep end on his debut at Cheltenham in January and better can be expected here, while Head Over Hinds is another open to improvement. Jasper Boy and Juri look to be the pick of the newcomers.
Olly Murphy does very well in bumpers so JURI gets the nod to make a winning debut, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Land of Moon and Jasper Boy, who represents last year's winning yard, are other newcomers who make paper appeal, while Hughie Morrison's Gallant Approach has been given time since finishing well held in a Cheltenham listed bumper on his debut on New Year's Day and it wouldn't be a shock were he to prove a different proposition now.
It might be worth sticking with MY LOUISE, who finished well when justifying support on her Fontwell debut in September.

1st (6) (8/13 +23%) Jeune Belle |
8/13(+23%) | (6) Jeune Belle 8/13, Returned to win a Huntingdon bumper in October and very useful effort when second of 15 in a listed bumper at Cheltenham since. Starts out over hurdles in a very winnable contest. Kept finding when winning Huntingdon bumper; better form at Cheltenham after; hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (22/1 -120%) Villainess |
22/1(-120%) | (12) Villainess 22/1, Promise on the first of 2 bumper starts for Jamie Snowden last winter. Worth a look in the betting now hurdling for new yard. Encouraging bumper debut but well held on AW in January; hurdle debut; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (200/1 -300%) Blue Moon Serenade |
200/1(-300%) | (3) Blue Moon Serenade 200/1, 28/1, seventh of 10 in bumper at Chepstow (soft) on debut 8 months ago. Tongue tie added now hurdling on return. Closing stages all too much for her on bumper debut; plenty to prove now hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (150/1 -200%) Jackeline |
150/1(-200%) | (5) Jackeline 150/1, Well beaten in 2 bumper earlier in the year so doesn't strike as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles. Out of half-sister to Punjabi; easy to back and no real show in bumpers this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 -14%) Golden Millie |
8/1(-14%) | (4) Golden Millie 8/1, Caused an upset in a Ffos Las bumper last November. Her limitations were exposed in that sphere later in the season but she should still be up to making her presence felt in a race like this now hurdling. Major upset when bumper winner last November; promising Sandown run since; hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (7/1 -40%) Royal Athena |
7/1(-40%) | (13) Royal Athena 7/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat for Tom Ward. Stepped up on hurdle debut when landing a 4-runner juvenile at Fakenham in a first-time hood (retained) last month. That form is nothing special but she's still respected as a last-time-out winner. 1m4f AW winner in June; taken well to hurdles; needs more than Fakenham win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (33/1 +0%) Tique |
33/1(+0%) | (11) Tique 33/1, Bumper winner at the fourth attempt at Bangor in May but has managed barely modest form in her 4 hurdles, tending to make mistakes. Bumper winner; has struggled over hurdles; already has lowly handicap mark; unlikely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (20/1 +39%) Kosasiempre |
20/1(+39%) | (7) Kosasiempre 20/1, Stepped up on hurdle debut when beaten just over 15 lengths into fourth at Uttoxeter 15 days ago. May do better again. Hint of ability on second hurdle start; may come into her own when handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (22/1 +56%) Ann D'arabie |
22/1(+56%) | (1) Ann D'arabie 22/1, Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser So Scottish and winning hurdler/chaser in France up to 21f Salsa d'Arabie. Beaten a fair way starting out in a Ludlow novice in October and she's probably more one for the longer term. 50-1, finished remote sixth of nine finishers on hurdle debut at Ludlow (2m5f). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (8) (250/1 -67%) Madam May |
250/1(-67%) | (8) Madam May 250/1, Well held in 3 bumpers and a maiden hurdle. First-time hood needs to transform her. Modest form in bumpers and dropped right out on hurdle debut in May; all to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (5/1 -11%) Madam Ryder |
5/1(-11%) | (9) Madam Ryder 5/1, Little better than modest form when reaching the frame in 2 bumpers in the first half of the year but she retains potential now hurdling for a top stable. Promise in bumpers and ran into a useful prospect in June; should progress now hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (50/1 -317%) Bleue Verte |
50/1(-317%) | (2) Bleue Verte 50/1, Showed ability when fifth on sole outing in France but weakened quickly when a remote fifth on Warwick British debut in May. Can only watch after that. Well held over hurdles in France and Britain; may now be best left until handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (200/1 -33%) Pip Away |
200/1(-33%) | (10) Pip Away 200/1, Well beaten in a bumper and maiden hurdle 8 months apart. Unable to keep up the gallop in a bumper and on hurdle debut in November (125-1). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of JEUNE BELLE, who finished in the first four twice in Listed bumpers last season and could be a smart novice hurdler for the Lucy Wadham stable. The five-year-old should have conditions to have suit and she is narrowly preferred to Royal Athena, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for her victory at Fakenham last month. Bleue Verte and Madam Ryder are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Plenty of runners but it doesn't look a race with much depth to it and useful bumper performer JEUNE BELLE should take a bit of stopping if taking to her new discipline. Fellow bumper scorer Golden Millie is second choice ahead of James Owen's Fakenham winner Royal Athena.
Two promising bumper types in Golden Millie and JEUNE BELLE are both likely to make hurdlers and can dominate the finish.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (9/2 -125%) Foxey |
9/2(-125%) | (1) Foxey 9/2, Flat-bred gelding who got off the mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot (18.5f). Good second of 7 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good to soft) on debut over fences 42 days ago. Merits serious consideration. Career-best second on belated chase debut; unexposed and may be up to the task.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (25/1 +24%) Clondaw Robin |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Clondaw Robin 25/1, It's now twenty runs since his last win in 2019. Off 6 months before fading fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago. No forlorn hope back chasing. 2m1f hurdle winner (soft); 0-19 over fences but best efforts were over this C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (9/2 +36%) Erigmoor |
9/2(+36%) | (3) Erigmoor 9/2, Displayed a fair level of ability over hurdles last season, but has made a discouraging start to life over fences in a pair of Huntingdon handicaps. Hard to warm to. Drops back again in trip after being beaten a distance at Huntingdon latest; more needed.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/4 +66%) Hatos |
11/4(+66%) | (2) Hatos 11/4, Made a winning start over hurdles here in January 2022 but has been rather underwhelming since, including on reappearance when seventh at Chepstow. Goes chasing with something to prove. Slipped to a workable mark for this return to fences but plenty to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (6/1 +14%) Robins Field |
6/1(+14%) | (7) Robins Field 6/1, Runner-up twice in the spring but he came in a below-par fifth over C&D 11 days ago. Handily weighted if back on his A-game. Each-way player if in spring form; needs to bounce back after two below-par efforts.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (11/1 -83%) Millies Mite |
11/1(-83%) | (8) Millies Mite 11/1, Long-standing maiden who wasn't disgraced when third in handicap at Fakenham (2m) 20 days ago. Others appeal more for win purposes. 8l third at Fakenham latest; acts on soft and has an each-way chance after a 3lb drop.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (14/1 +44%) Executive Pool |
14/1(+44%) | (6) Executive Pool 14/1, Fair Flat winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 2m Hereford handicap in April. Cheekpieces tried when pulled up at Lingfield last time so has a bit to prove now sent over fences. 2m hurdle winner; in good hands but has a few questions to answer on his chasing debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (9/1 -100%) Wonderweasle |
9/1(-100%) | (5) Wonderweasle 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who came in a well-held fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (15.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 33 days ago. Remains open to improvement. Didn't improve for switch to chasing but not ruled out if better for that experience.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (17/2 -42%) Tommy Dillion |
17/2(-42%) | (4) Tommy Dillion 17/2, Got off the mark in hurdle at Lingfield in December but hung badly left when collared run-in when third at Plumpton in April Returns for his cahsing bow and can't be dismissed. 1lb higher than when placed over hurdles latest; may improve for this switch to chasing.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This can go the way of FOXEY, who ran a race full of promise on his chase debut at Huntingdon in October when staying on for second. A winner over hurdles on his penultimate start at Newton Abbot, the eight-year-old should be suited by dropping back in distance and he gets the vote ahead of the returning Tommy Dillion and Millies Mite, who ran with credit at Fakenham last time out.
FOXEY made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Huntingdon and can build on it to go one better in a race where several arrive with question marks against them. Robins Field could emerge as the chief threat at these weights if shrugging off a lesser effort over C&D, with Millies Mite and Clondaw Robin appealing as the pick for minor honours.
Although FOXEY's latest effort hinted he may appreciate further, he might still prove good enough to win this dropping back in trip.

1st (2) (11/2 -10%) Tintintin |
11/2(-10%) | (2) Tintintin 11/2, Placed all 3 starts following Ffos Las debut success last term, including when narrowly beaten by the re-opposing Eagle of The Glen at Hexham (16.2f, soft) in April. Should be all the better for his Cheltenham reappearance spin and no surprise at all if he's in the mix. Promising juvenile; ran well for a long way in a higher grade at Cheltenham recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (10/3 +52%) Artistic Endeavour |
10/3(+52%) | (4) Artistic Endeavour 10/3, Plenty of promise when suffering narrow defeats in a Plumpton maiden in May and on his reappearance at Chepstow. Far from disgraced when fifth of 17 on handicap bow at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) last month and should make his presence felt in this lesser contest. Fair 5th on handicap debut at Cheltenham last time; this sharper track may not be ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/2 +25%) Nordic Tiger |
9/2(+25%) | (6) Nordic Tiger 9/2, French import who hasn't shaped badly in a Uttoxeter maiden and Warwick novice (both at around 2m) since joining present yard. Tongue strap refitted here, which he wore on his sole start in France, and may well improve now pitched into a handicap. Showed promise in both hurdle runs for new yard; can improve now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/4 +31%) Celtic Ned |
11/4(+31%) | (1) Celtic Ned 11/4, Stepped up on what he showed on first 2 starts in novice hurdles when a clear second to a potentially useful recruit over C&D (good to soft) recently. Open to improvement now handicapping and he's one to consider. Looked promising when chasing home 95-rated Flat performer over C&D; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/1 -120%) Clongowes |
11/1(-120%) | (8) Clongowes 11/1, Flat winner who was set to open his hurdles account at the sixteenth attempt in a handicap at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good to soft) in May, only to fall at the final flight. Up against some unexposed types here but respected on debut for new yard all the same. Looked likely to get off the mark until fell at the last in May; more needed for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (11/1 -144%) Chandlers Bay |
11/1(-144%) | (3) Chandlers Bay 11/1, Has made the podium on both completed starts over hurdles, finishing well when third of 12 in a Plumpton maiden (2m, good to soft) on latest start in February. Capable of better again now handicapping. Promising 3rd on final qualifying run in February; interesting handicap newcomer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (10/1 -54%) Birdman Bob |
10/1(-54%) | (7) Birdman Bob 10/1, Found some improvement when opening his account on return in a Plumpton novices' handicap (2m, soft) 3 weeks ago. However, further progress will be needed if he's to defy a 6 lb rise in this stronger race. Had to tough it out to win at Plumpton; has more to do off 6lb higher in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (28/1 -180%) Eagle Of The Glen |
28/1(-180%) | (5) Eagle Of The Glen 28/1, Improved when landing a Hexham junior novice on final start of last season and picked up where he left off with a winning reappearance at Huntingdon (15.8f, good). However, subsequent handicap debut left much to be desired and he's opposable on the back of that. Little between him and Tintintin on April form; weak finisher on handicap debut last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BIRDMAN BOB opened his account on his reappearance at Plumpton last month and the six-year-old won with enough in hand that day to suggest that he could overcome a 6lb rise in the ratings here. Clongowes looked set to shed his maiden tag in this sphere before falling at the last at Newton Abbot in May and the son of New Approach warrants respect on his stable debut. Chandlers Bay and Celtic Ned are also worth a second look.
Handicap-debutants CHANDLERS BAY and Celtic Ned are both appealing, with marginal preference for Alan King's charge who went close in a decent Plumpton maiden on his final start of last season and he is armed with potential. Celtic Ned was beaten only by a highly promising stablemate of Chandlers Bay over C&D 11 days ago and should pick up a race soon enough. Artistic Endeavour and Tintintin both contested a big-field Cheltenham handicap last month and they merit respect, along with Clongowes.
An open race with some interesting prospects, not least CHANDLERS BAY (nap) who is likely to fare better now switched to handicaps.

1st (4) (5/1 -67%) Desque De L'Isle |
5/1(-67%) | (4) Desque De L'Isle 5/1, Dual scorer at Ludlow last season. Below par since and ran no better than on his return despite returning to that venue when tailed off 2 weeks ago. Has slipped back to an attractive mark having his first go in a veterans' event. Below best in both runs this season; rarely runs beyond 2m and having first run at 2m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (10/1 +70%) Mister Murchan |
10/1(+70%) | (7) Mister Murchan 10/1, Mostly out of sorts last term though ought to have won off reduced mark at Fontwell final start (idled and collared last 50 yds). Offered little after 7 months off so tough to support with much confidence. Losing run goes back to January 2021 (2m4f, heavy) but current mark is workable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (13/8 +51%) Moonlighter |
13/8(+51%) | (1) Moonlighter 13/8, Back to winning ways over at Chepstow in January but hasn't got home on all 3 starts since, folding again on return from 7 months off despite a more fluent round of jumping than usual there just under 6 weeks ago. This is his first taste of veterans' company, so not ruled out. 2m3f winner off this mark in January; capable of having a say with K Lenihan claiming 8lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (15/2 -7%) Saint Xavier |
15/2(-7%) | (2) Saint Xavier 15/2, In good form in veterans' company this season, scoring over 25f at Haydock last November before a solid fifth of 18 at Sandown in January. Below par since and will need to leave his reappearance effort at Auteuil (21.9f, heavy) well behind. Blinkers back on. Won a better veterans' race than this in November 2022; lost way since; down in class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (9) (14/1 +58%) Mr Palmtree |
14/1(+58%) | (9) Mr Palmtree 14/1, Dual chase winner in 2020/21 before missing the following season. Campaigned over hurdles this year, showing he retains his ability when scoring at Warwick (3m2f) in March, though not in the same form on all 3 subsequent starts (latest after 7 months off). Now back chasing. Stout stayer who won 3m2f hurdle in March; trip worry on return to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (7/2 +50%) Mr Muldoon |
7/2(+50%) | (3) Mr Muldoon 7/2, Solid third in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.5f, soft) on reappearance but failed to build on that at Ffos Las (23.9f, heavy) last month. Back over fences from a much-reduced mark so not ruled out back over the larger obstacles dropped in trip. Both chase wins came in 2020-21 season; form fluctuates now; first chase run since March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (10/1 -67%) Ramore Will |
10/1(-67%) | (8) Ramore Will 10/1, Course scorer who ended last term with a win in 6-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good) 8 months ago. Finished well held after 8 months off at this track (23.5f, good to soft) 11 days ago but that will have blown away a few cobwebs. Headgear back on. Won 2-4 starts here; just above latest winning mark in April; can come on for reappearance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FAIRWAY FREDDY's stamina appeared stretched by the extended 2m7f trip when weakening into third at Huntingdon last month and compensation could await on this return to 2m4f. Moonlighter is entitled to build on his fifth-placed seasonal bow at Chepstow in October, with Kai Lenihan claiming a useful 8lb, and Kim Bailey's charge is one to consider on this drop into class 4 company. Mr Muldoon could also get involved if on a going day.
RAMORE WILL enjoyed a productive 2022/23 campaign, and with his reappearance effort sure to have blown away any cobwebs, Chris Gordon's 12-y-o can regain the winning thread with headgear reapplied at the expense of Fairway Freddy, who should relish this drop back to 2½m. Moonlighter and Desque de L'Isle can fight out third spot.
Moonlighter is primed for a good run but RAMORE WILL has a good course record and a convincing recent win record.

1st (2) (3/1 +33%) Joker De Mai |
3/1(+33%) | (2) Joker De Mai 3/1, Useful chaser in France, winning final 2 starts on that side of the Channel during the spring. Positives to glean from effort in a novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) on debut for new yard last month and needs a close look back up in trip for this handicap debut. Two chase wins (2m2f) in France and he looks interesting back up in trip on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 +46%) Awaythelad |
13/2(+46%) | (6) Awaythelad 13/2, Showed fair form in a trio of starts in bumpers and again over hurdles last term, placed 3 times in maiden/novice company. However, he was put in his place on handicap debut/return at Ascot and others make more appeal. 0-8 and he weakened on handicap debut at Ascot last month; others are more persuasive. |

3rd (5) (7/2 +53%) Kansas Du Berlais |
7/2(+53%) | (5) Kansas Du Berlais 7/2, Back-to-back winner at Fontwell during the spring and entitled to come on for reappearance fourth in a Sandown handicap (19.8f, soft) last month. 2 lb lower now and he's not discounted. Well held in both handicaps and needs to resume his progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8/1 -78%) I'd Like To Know |
8/1(-78%) | (4) I'd Like To Know 8/1, Worcester maiden winner on Rules debut last October and, having found Grade 2 company too much at Sandown next time, he took a step back in the right direction when going close at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) in January. May have more to offer now handicapping. Unexposed 6yo who ended last season with a near-miss; needs close look on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (28/1 -100%) Zacony Rebel |
28/1(-100%) | (1) Zacony Rebel 28/1, Dual winner in this sphere as a novice and made a winning chase debut at Fontwell last October. Disappointing since, though, and hopes pinned on the addition of cheekpieces/return to this sphere sparking a return to form. Has lost his way and has questions to answer back over hurdles; headgear added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (25/1 +0%) Naturally High |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Naturally High 25/1, Offered little in 3 starts last season following a lengthy absence. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Kansas du Berlais. Ended 2021 on a high but he's had only three runs since and has struggled in all of them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (14/1 -180%) Colonial Empire |
14/1(-180%) | (7) Colonial Empire 14/1, Progressive last season, winning 3 times, and stepped up on his low-key reappearance when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (15.6f, good to soft). Mark unchanged and should make his presence felt. Triple hurdle winner who rallied well for for third at Musselburgh last month; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (8/1 -167%) Rocco Royale |
8/1(-167%) | (10) Rocco Royale 8/1, Progressive sort who confirmed the encouragement of his previous run when landing a 6-runner novice at Fontwell (19.2f, good to soft) on latest start in April. That form looks decent (runner-up has won twice since) and he's open to improvement now handicapping. Ended last season with a cosy win and is open to more progress on this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (9/2 +55%) Brook Bay |
9/2(+55%) | (9) Brook Bay 9/2, Expensive purchase from points who showed plenty in pair of maiden/novice hurdles prior to a lesser display on handicap debut at Cheltenham in November. Well worth another chance in view of initial promise. Yard also saddles Rocco Royale. Still unexposed and this is a drop back in grade but he needs improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (18/1 -80%) Hallwood |
18/1(-80%) | (8) Hallwood 18/1, Different proposition on the back of a wind op when making second hurdles start a winning one in maiden company at Carlisle in February. No surprise that he struggled in an Aintree Grade 1 on final start of last season and this is a far more realistic assignment. Hood applied. Unexposed 6yo who won at Carlisle last season and needs a close look on his return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (200/1 -203%) Diablo De Rouhet |
200/1(-203%) | (3) Diablo De Rouhet 200/1, Developed into a useful chaser in 2019 but, following a lengthy absence, he struggled in 5 runs last year and offered very little on debut for yard at Warwick (21f, good) in October. Pulled up in three of his last four starts and has plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Joker De Mai won over fences during his time in France and was far from disgraced when fourth in a decent novice hurdle on his British/stable debut last month. With possibly more to offer, he rates as a big player here. However, KANSAS DU BERLAIS is also open to progression and, with the form of his fourth-placed finish last time being boosted by the winner going in again at Sandown on Saturday, the signs are positive for another big run. Colonial Empire and Rocco Royale complete the shortlist.
Several to consider in this competitive handicap and ROCCO ROYALE could be the answer. He progressed during his novice campaign, cosily seeing off a dual subsequent winner when last seen during the spring, and he can be expected to kick on again now venturing down the handicap route. Colonial Empire is next on the list on the back of a creditable effort at Musselburgh, while French-import Joker de Mai, the selection's stablemate Brook Bay and unexposed Hallwood are others to consider.
An interesting race in which ROCCO ROYALE gets the vote ahead of another handicap newcomer in Joker De Mai.

1st (8) (4/1 +60%) Haston Clermont |
4/1(+60%) | (8) Haston Clermont 4/1, Only modest form in 3 hurdles outings last season and shaped as if needing the run when sixth of 11 (10/3) at Plumpton (19.8f, good to soft) on chase/handicap bow. Possible this mark will now prove workable. 6yo who is unexposed over fences but he needs improvement at this new trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (16/1 -14%) Stellar Stream |
16/1(-14%) | (5) Stellar Stream 16/1, Off the mark in points at fourth attempt and had no problems getting off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt in a weak maiden at Hereford in February. Offered something to work on when third of 15 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago and it's possible he'll do better. Well held in both handicaps including on his chase debut last month; bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (150/1 -275%) Galway Mahler |
150/1(-275%) | (13) Galway Mahler 150/1, Pulled up on 4 of his last 5 outings and there's no reason to think he'll fare much better with cheekpieces added for the first time. Pulled up in all three handicaps and can only be watched on return; 3lb out of weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (9/2 -50%) Felton Bellevue |
9/2(-50%) | (7) Felton Bellevue 9/2, Stepped up on his seasonal return when third of 15 in handicap chase (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Had a couple of today's rivals behind there and he's considered again from 2 lb higher mark. Back to form with close second off a reduced mark over C&D last month; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (3/1 +33%) Heaven Smart |
3/1(+33%) | (3) Heaven Smart 3/1, Ran at least as well as he had done over hurdles on his second start chasing when third of 15 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Finished clear of the remainder that day and he may do better still. Unexposed chaser who was a good third in big field over C&D 11 days ago; key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (4/1 +33%) Shot Boii |
4/1(+33%) | (6) Shot Boii 4/1, Completed a hurdles hat-trick around 3m last winter and shaped with encouragement sent chasing after a 7-month break (had wind-op) when third of 15 in handicap chase (9/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago. Should be sharper now and there's better to come. Fourth of 15 over C&D on chase debut but was behind two of today's rivals in that race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (12/1 -71%) Sforza Castle |
12/1(-71%) | (4) Sforza Castle 12/1, Modest form at best in 5 hurdles starts in the summer. Stamina very much looks his strong suit and he's worth a market check on chase debut. Should have a future over fences and he needs a close look on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (28/1 -12%) Freethinker |
28/1(-12%) | (9) Freethinker 28/1, Dual winner at Newcastle in early-2022 but has pulled up all 3 outings since, including on chase debut last time. Pulled up in all three runs (hurdles/chase) this year and he needs a major turnaround. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (14/1 -75%) Airtothethrone |
14/1(-75%) | (2) Airtothethrone 14/1, Placed in both Irish points and bright start under Rules, unsurprisingly improving for switch to chasing when narrowly on top close home at Taunton last winter. Shaped as if he'd come on for the run when fourth at Chepstow on return and he's not discounted with an outing now under his belt. Overall record of 1-13 and was tailed off on return in October; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (9/1 +10%) Hilltown |
9/1(+10%) | (11) Hilltown 9/1, Most fortunate when getting off the mark hurdles at Plumpton (25f, soft) in April but held his form reasonably well subsequently in that sphere. Hasn't posed much of a threat over fences in 2 starts to date, though stiffer test of stamina here should suit. On reduced mark but he's been well held in both runs over fences and others are preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (40/1 -100%) Aikenbreakinheart |
40/1(-100%) | (10) Aikenbreakinheart 40/1, Made the most of a god opportunity to get off the mark over fences at Wincanton (25f, soft) in March. Not in the same form next 2 starts but might have needed the run back over hurdles on return. Won on chase debut at Wincanton in March but well below that form in both runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (150/1 -355%) Sleve Donard |
150/1(-355%) | (12) Sleve Donard 150/1, Took seven attempts to get off the mark in points and well beaten all 4 starts over hurdles, pulled up at Uttoxeter in December. Hard to make case for sent chasing. Irish point winner but he's struggled over hurdles and has a lot to prove on chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Just half a length separated FELTON BELLEVUE (second) and Heaven Smart (third) in a similar race (Shot Boii fourth) over this course and distance 11 days ago but the former finished the better of the two on that occasion and can uphold the form, despite being 1lb worse off at the weights. Airtothethrone also has the ability to figure and completes the shortlist.
ART DECCO has plenty of form on testing ground and he's fancied to build on last month's pleasing Chepstow return. Felton Bellevue, Shot Boii and Heaven Smart all made the frame over C&D 11 days ago and that trio should also be in the mix again.
This could revolve around Felton Bellevue and HEAVEN SMART who both finished close up in a big-field handicap over C&D 11 days ago.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
