1st (8)  (5/6 +39%)Roaring Conquest |
5/6(+39%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Roaring Conquest 5/6, €34,000 3-y-o, £25,000 5-y-o, Doyen gelding. Half-brother to poor hurdler Emily Wade. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (21f winner) Basford Bob. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt and stuck to his task nicely when fourth on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. More to come.

|||
2nd (10)  (16/1 +36%)Taita Hills |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Taita Hills 16/1, £35,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the third time of asking. Something to work on when fourth in a bumper at Fontwell but off 20 months and could never land a blow on hurdles debut over 2m here. This trip is more suitable. Sixth of eight finishers at this track last month following long absence; more required.. |
|||
3rd (4)  (15/8 +6%)Jackstell |
15/8(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jackstell 15/8, Half-brother to 4 winners, including fair 2½m hurdle winner Epswell. Dam French bumper winner. Third both starts in maiden points and landed strong support on Rules debut at Tipperary in May. Moved from one good yard to another and promising second on hurdles debut last month. This trip will suit. Promising second on hurdles debut at Huntingdon last month; strong claims.. |
|||
4th (1)  (22/1 +78%)Babatunde |
22/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Babatunde 22/1, Purchased for £50,000 after finishing third in an Irish point in April. Minor promise both hurdles starts in the autumn but probably one for handicaps. Fourth on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las in October but was a remote sixth last time.. |
|||

7/1(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Girls Best Friend 7/1, €6,000 3-y-o, £35,000 4-y-o, first foal, dam, maiden over hurdles/fences in France, half-sister to Grand National winner (for this yard) Mon Mome, Unseated rider sole start in Irish points (Feb 2023). Off the track since but represents excellent yard. Bought for £35,000 after unseating in Irish point in February 2023; stable in top form.. |
|||
6th (7)  (22/1 -57%)Rip Wheeler |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rip Wheeler 22/1, Picked up for £31,000 after winning one of his 3 point starts. Could never land a significant blow on hurdles debut at Newbury 3 weeks ago (2m). More to come as stamina is drawn out. Sixth of nine finishers on his hurdling debut at Newbury last month; best watched.. |
|||
7th (9)  (50/1 -127%)Synchronist |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Synchronist 50/1, €8,000 3-y-o, third foal, dam pulled up sole start in points. Runner-up on completed start in Irish points (Apr 14). 12 runner-up in a point in April; returns from break for rules debut; may be best watched. |
|||
8th (2)  (150/1 -50%)Bollin Thou |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bollin Thou 150/1, Bollin Eric gelding. Half-brother to fair chaser Kayf Thou. Dam (c131/h142) 2¼m-3m hurdle/chase winner. Big price but displayed some ability when mid-field in a Chepstow bumper in January. Off since and has left Christian Williams. Up in trip for hurdles debut. Remote sixth of ten on bumper debut at Chepstow in January; hurdles/stable debut.. |
|||
9th (6)  (40/1 -186%)My Cullen |
40/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) My Cullen 40/1, Jet Away half-brother to bumper winner Major Robinson. Keen both starts but displayed ability in a brace of bumpers during the autumn. Third of eight in bumper at Hereford three weeks ago; needs more on hurdles debut.. |
|||
10th (11)  (150/1 -50%)Tank Top |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Tank Top 150/1, Modest form in 3 bumpers and well held on hurdles debut. Unplaced in three bumpers and pulled up on hurdles debut at Doncaster last month.. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (66/1 -65%)Dance In The Park |
66/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Dance In The Park 66/1, Posted good second (with hood on) in a Fontwell bumper on NH debut in September 2023 but hasn't yet built on that. Up in trip. Remote sixth of ten finishers at Plumpton 16 days ago; best watched.. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (200/1 -700%)Lead The Field |
200/1(-700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lead The Field 200/1, First foal, dam (c94/h91), bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (2½m-3m winner) Noisy Miner, Unplaced completed start in Irish points, every chance when fell last time, though that was back in May 2022. Must overcome a lengthy absence on this belated rules debut; doesn't appeal.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ROARING CONQUEST wasn't seen to best effect when caught flat-footed off a sedate gallop on his fourth-placed hurdles bow at Uttoxeter last month. Olly Murphy's charge should have learned plenty from that experience and he looks ready to open his account under Rules. Jackstell found only a Grade 2 bumper winner too strong on his opening bid over timber at Huntingdon 25 days ago and he is feared most, ahead of Rip Wheeler.
Having won his bumper in Ireland, JACKSTELL found a sharp 2m against him on hurdles debut at Huntingdon but he did keep on well for second. Sure to build on that upped in trip, he's marginally preferred in favour of Roaring Conquest, while Girls Best Friend requires a market check on Rules debut.
This looks to be a match between Olly Murphy's Roaring Conquest and Jamie Snowden's JACKSTELL, with preference for the latter.

1st (4)  (9/1 +25%)Bobbi's Beauty |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bobbi's Beauty 9/1, Point winner who stepped up on her hurdle exploits when making a successful switch to fences at Leicester (20.1f) in February. Excuses since, shaping as if needing the run when fourth at Ffos Las on return. Back down in trip and remains unexposed as a chaser. Leicester winner (2m4f) in February; may strip fitter for Ffos Las comeback; drops to 2m.. |
|||
2nd (5)  (11/5 +20%)Smart Casual |
11/5(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Smart Casual 11/5, Went close without success over hurdles and produced a promising first effort in this sphere/after 5 months off when third of 8 in handicap chase at Hereford (2m) 3 weeks ago, keeping on run-in. Entitled to strip fitter here and he's of strong interest. Creditable third on Hereford chasing debut (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; may improve. |
|||
3rd (7)  (25/1 +24%)Clondaw Robin |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Clondaw Robin 25/1, Still winless over fences and below par so far this term. Others more appealing. Chase record 0-28; plenty of work to do to reverse last week's C&D form with Robins Field.. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/1 +10%)Hokelami |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hokelami 9/1, Bagged handicap chases at Market Rasen and Sedgefield last term and better for return when fourth 9½ lengths fourth of 8 to Angel's Dream in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly in first-time headgear. Fourth (beaten approx 10l) to Angel's Dream and Superstylin over C&D recently; easing mark. |
|||
5th (6)  (15/2 +6%)Robins Field |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Robins Field 15/2, Has filled the runner-up spot 7 times over fences, including on his comeback run over C&D 9 days ago. Each-way claims again. 0-19; tends to find one stronger, as over C&D (soft) last week; others make more appeal.. |
|||
6th (3)  (4/1 0%)Angel's Dream |
4/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Angel's Dream 4/1, Became disappointing over hurdles but dispelled chase debut blip returning from 6 months off when winning 8-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 20 days ago by neck from Superstylin, displaying a good attitude in the process. Respected with a repeat. Bravely got the better of Superstylin over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; now sits 5lb higher. |
|||
|U| (1)  (16/5 -60%)Superstylin |
16/5(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Superstylin 16/5, Irish point winner who did the job well over C&D 12 months ago and only just held in same race on return 3 weeks ago. Needs considering. Beaten a neck by Angel's Dream over C&D (13-8 fav) three weeks ago; now sits 4lb higher.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 179-day layoff worked the oracle for ANGEL'S DREAM when digging deep to repel reopposing rival Superstylin over C&D last month. A 5lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear insurmountable for the six-year-old and any improvement may see him follow up today. The aforementioned Superstylin merits respect racing off a 4lb higher mark, but a bigger threat may emerge from Smart Casual, who offered plenty to work with when finishing third on his chase bow at Hereford three weeks ago.
SMART CASUAL made a promising chasing debut when third at Hereford on return and looks the one to beat off the same mark with improvement forthcoming. There was little between Angel's Dream and Superstylin when first and second over C&D 3 weeks ago and they head the dangers.
A C&D rematch between Angel's Dream and SUPERSTYLIN, with the latter (raised 4lb) taken to gain his revenge on 1lb better terms.

1st (2)  (4/9 +28%)Wade Out |
4/9(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Wade Out 4/9, Won sole point and, having scored on bumper debut at Market Rasen (16.6f) in March, he maintained his 100% record in 10-runner novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f) on hurdles bow in October. Better form when second at Ascot 4 weeks ago and that sets the standard. Won on hurdles debut (Uttoxeter); lost little in defeat to Celtic Dino (Ascot); promising.. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 +0%)Miller Spirit |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Miller Spirit 9/4, Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m) winning 5 times in all and continue the good work over hurdles when a ready winner of 9-runner novice over C&D 3 weeks ago. Open to lots of progress. Travelled strongly when making a stylish winning C&D hurdles debut; plenty more to offer.. |
|||
3rd (4)  (17/2 0%)What's One More |
17/2(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) What's One More 17/2, Mount Nelson filly who got back on track and displayed a good attitude to edge a tight finish in 12-runner Huntingdon bumper (15.8f) in January. Left with a lot to do how the race unfolded when fourth on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter 24 days ago. Will improve. Too keen when fourth on last month's hurdles debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft; beaten 16l).. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Smart Flat performer Miller Spirit scored with something in hand when making a winning hurdles debut over this track and trip 20 days ago and the son of Australia must enter calculations. However, WADE OUT's runner-up effort in a deeper event at Ascot last month looks the best form on offer and the five-year-old is slightly more compelling. What's One More receives 17lb from those two rivals, when taking her jockey's 3lb claim into account, and she could also feature if settling better.
Given the Flat form of MILLER SPIRIT, he's sure to leave behind the level achieved when a ready winner on hurdles debut over C&D 3 weeks ago, possibly to the extent that he improves beyond Wade Out, who is promising in his own right.
It isn't easy to choose between Miller Spirit and WADE OUT but, with substance to his Ascot form, Olly Murphy's charge is the pick.

1st (6)  (9/1 +55%)Godot |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Godot 9/1, A fair winning hurdler/chaser. Yet to hit top form this term, a remote third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.5f, good to soft) 23 days ago, going in snatches. Needs to step forward. Well held on his two starts last month at Plumpton and Kempton; others preferred.. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3/1 +14%)Guard Duty |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Guard Duty 3/1, Hooded when landing 2m Uttoxeter novice in July and still in front when unseating 4 out in 2m3f Haydock handicap on his recent return. Not ruled out if hurdling better. Hampered by a loose horse when unseating at Haydock two weeks ago (still in narrow lead).. |
|||
3rd (2)  (28/1 -367%)Ring O Roses |
28/1(-367%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ring O Roses 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Henry de Bromhead, ending time with that yard with a creditable second of 11 in 2¾m Ballinrobe handicap in September. In the mix for her new handler. Made the frame on last four completed starts for Henry de Bromhead; makes stable debut.. |
|||
4th (4)  (3/1 -20%)Officer Of State |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Officer Of State 3/1, Useful 15f winner on the Flat for Andre Fabre in France. Sold for 65,000 gns and readily landed 17f Fontwell handicap hurdle in November. Hung right when an odds-on second at Southwell after. Needs more off a 10 lb higher mark here. Cantered home at Fontwell (2m1f, good; 6-4) last month off 17lb lower mark; can win again.. |
|||
5th (1)  (2/1 +11%)Tamar Bridge |
2/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tamar Bridge 2/1, Off almost 2 years before posting a very good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Big shout with that form working out well. Showed he retains his ability when second of seven finishers at Uttoxeter in October.. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (5/1 +64%)Militaire |
5/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Militaire 5/1, Fair maiden hurdler but off for 22 months since a good fourth at Ffos Las (20f). Returns after breathing surgery with his fitness to prove. Made the frame on all four hurdling starts but hasn't been seen since February 2023.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Officer Of State was unable to justify a short price at Southwell last month when attempting to follow up on his earlier Fontwell triumph. The son of Golden Horn is now another 10lb higher and is respected, but TAMAR BRIDGE gets the nod. Olly Murphy's gelding returned from almost two years off the track to fill the runner-up spot at Uttoxeter in October and, if able to build on that display, a 3lb rise should be no barrier to success. Ring O Roses heads the remainder.
TAMAR BRIDGE showed no ill effects after a long absence when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time and can go one better now with that form having been franked. Guard Duty could emerge as the main danger to Olly Murphy's lightly-raced sort, with Ring O Roses the pick of the rest for minor honours.
Having looked ahead of his mark when winning at Fontwell last month, OFFICER OF STATE can win again. Tamar Bridge is next.

6/5(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Aworkinprogress 6/5, Progressive sort who made it 2 from 2 in this sphere over C&D 3 weeks ago, pulling clear with another improving youngster. 8 lb rise seems fair so another bold bid is anticipated. Came clear with progressive runner-up to make it 2-2 over fences over C&D three weeks ago. |
|||
2nd (9)  (12/1 +33%)Lazy Sunday |
12/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lazy Sunday 12/1, Completed a hat-trick in handicap chases early-2023 and positive start to last season when runner-up in handicaps at Ffos Las and Chepstow. Form subsequently nosedived but took step back in right direction off reduced mark when third at Bangor and player if building on that. Reappeared with encouraging third at Bangor and she might not be far away. |
|||
3rd (7)  (16/1 -45%)Bolintlea |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bolintlea 16/1, Fair chaser who was back to form with a close third at Carlisle last time. Needs to back that up in better race now, however. Question mark about soft ground nowadays but not ruled out after close third at Carlisle. |
|||
4th (5)  (13/2 +0%)Innisfree Lass |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Innisfree Lass 13/2, Improved upped in trip/with cheekpieces fitted when running out a wide-margin winner of 2 handicap hurdles at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) during second half of last term. Offered something to work on sent chasing both starts this season so not taken lightly. Fair 4th at Carlisle on second chase start; could build on that on today's slower ground. |
|||
5th (4)  (14/1 -65%)Havaila |
14/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Havaila 14/1, Scored over hurdles at Sandown in January. In good form on the Flat subsequently and offered something to work on when third at Plumpton on chase bow 16 days ago. Soundly beaten 3rd on recent chase debut but this step back up in trip is worth exploring. |
|||
|F| (2)  (16/5 -42%)Eyed |
16/5(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eyed 16/5, Fair hurdler/chaser for Paul Webber and confirmed stable debut promise when off the mark in this sphere at Market Rasen 5 weeks ago. Bred to stay this far (out of a close relation to Grand National winner Rule The World) and must be respected. Won readily at Market Rasen on second stable start and a 9lb rise might not stop him. |
|||
|F| (1)  (66/1 -313%)Great Name That |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Great Name That 66/1, Winner of sole start between the flags and plenty of placed efforts under Rules without winning. However, ended last season with 2 poor efforts and this a tough race to bounce back in (has since left Harry Fry and undergone another breathing operation). On a competitive mark but needs to be at the top of his game on seasonal/stable debut. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (12/1 +14%)Decorated |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Decorated 12/1, Disappointed over hurdles last season and never looked like justifying support on chase bow after 7 months off at Warwick 4 weeks ago. Last month's chase debut at Warwick wasn't without promise; continues to drop down weights. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (33/1 -136%)Galway Mahler |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Galway Mahler 33/1, Uninspiring record over hurdles but much more like it over fences, showing further progress when completing hat-trick at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) in March. Easy to forgive final run at Southwell but needs to be fully tuned up in this competitive race on return. Pulled up in April when last seen but went there on a four-timer; could bounce back. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AWORKINPROGRESS has looked anything but since winning over hurdles at Fontwell in March. Nick Gifford's charge made a successful chasing bow on his seasonal return in October, before following up to complete a hat-trick at Lingfield last month. The form of that latest triumph looks solid, given that he pulled well clear with the runner-up, so a 8lb rise might not be beyond him. Eyed, who bolted up at Market Rasen last time out, looks to be the main threat, while Lazy Sunday finished a creditable third at Bangor in October and she is also noted.
AWORKINPROGRESS continues to go from strength to strength and should make a bold bid as he goes for the 4-timer. Eyed has made a positive start for Hughie Morrison and rates a serious threat, while Innisfree Lass remains capable of better in this sphere.
Preference is for AWORKINPROGRESS, who came clear with a bang-in-form runner-up over C&D last month to make it 2-2 over fences.

1st (10)  (6/1 +0%)Jolie Baie |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jolie Baie 6/1, Resumed with 3m hurdles win at Ffos Las in May and cast aside a heavy defeat on chase debut when runner-up returned to timber at Huntingdon fitted with a tongue tie 3 weeks ago. Returned to form with first-time tongue-tie when second of six at Huntingdon last month.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 -17%)Warranty |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Warranty 7/2, 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 and found only one too good at Kempton. Shaped well when second at Kempton last month; up 3lb and should run well.. |
|||
3rd (8)  (11/1 +31%)Lucky So And So |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lucky So And So 11/1, Lightly raced and as many non-completions as finishes in his career over hurdles. Led until before two out on reappearance when seventh of eight over C&D last month.. |
|||
4th (9)  (66/1 -313%)Hot Rod Lincoln |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hot Rod Lincoln 66/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points but form under Rules has a very patchy look to it, pulled up all 3 starts after winning a maiden hurdle in May 2023. Left Harry Fry and had a breathing operation. Won maiden hurdle in May 2023 but subsequently pulled up in two chases/one hurdle.. |
|||
5th (5)  (10/1 0%)Chloe's Court |
10/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chloe's Court 10/1, Veteran who was successful on her first and final starts last season. Looked rusty when finishing last of 4 on her return over C&D, going in snatches. Last of four on seasonal debut over C&D last month and needs to come down a few pounds.. |
|||
6th (3)  (5/2 +69%)Howaya Now |
5/2(+69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Howaya Now 5/2, Got off the mark in 5-runner novice hurdle at Exeter (21.6f, heavy) in April. Sound return to action back in handicap company at Ffos Las a month ago and he should be on the premises again. Fourth of nine at Ffos Las last month when shaping as though he would be better for run.. |

7th (1)  (10/1 -43%)Tigerbythetail |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tigerbythetail 10/1, Prolific pointer who showed fairly useful form on the first of his two outings in hunters earlier this year. Has held his form between the flags and while he never really looked like justifying support back over timber at Stratford in October, he showed more fitted with cheekpieces at Warwick. Fourth of seven finishers on handicap debut at Warwick four weeks ago; should run well.. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (9/2 +36%)Wolfspear |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Wolfspear 9/2, Won twice from 4 starts last term and was yet to be asked for effort over 19.5f here in March. Never really a threat on reappearance 3 weeks ago but chance he can build on that for in-form yard upped in distance. Always behind on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter last month; steps up in trip.. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (20/1 -100%)Fevertre |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Fevertre 20/1, Returned to form, in first-time cheekpieces, when opening his account at Carlisle (25f, heavy) in February and backed that up with good second of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f, heavy) a month later. Heavy defeat at Ffos Las final start of the campaign but may well get back on track. Won at Carlisle in February but absent since pulling up at Ffos Las in April.. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (22/1 +33%)Ray's The One |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Ray's The One 22/1, Showed a bit more than of late when fourth over C&D 3 weeks ago but he didn't really see it out over this far and easy to discount from out of the weights. Fourth over C&D last month but 10lb wrong in the handicap and has it all to do.. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (150/1 -355%)Imphal |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Imphal 150/1, Won 4 times at around 3m in a very productive 2021/22 season. Lightly raced and little to shout about since, including on the AW for this yard. Has lost his form on the Flat and having first start over hurdles since February 2023.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A 3lb rise in the ratings for Jolie Baie's runner-up effort at Huntingdon 25 days ago shouldn't prevent another bold bid, while Warranty boasts a similar profile after finishing second just two days later at Kempton. However, it could be worth taking a punt on the stoutly-bred WOLFSPEAR now that he is stepped up in trip. The son of Fame And Glory could only muster a fifth-placed finish on his reappearance at Uttoxeter last month, but Olly Murphy's runners have been improving for their comebacks and this may prove to be the case once more.
Having won a brace of Salisbury handicaps in May, WARRANTY made a sound return to hurdling when runner-up at Kempton 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that effort may well see him go one place better. Wolfspear looks worth a go at this trip so he's a danger, along with Howaya Now.
The one with solid claims here is JOLIE BAIE (nap) who returned to her best when second at Huntingdon. Tigerbythetail is next best.

1st (6)  (5/1 -67%)Snapius |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Snapius 5/1, A fair ex-Irish hurdles/Flat winner who got right back on track for his current yard when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) 17 days ago. Can go well again. Runner-up to a stablemate of Trust House at Leicester (2m, heavy; 10-1); now 2lb higher.. |
|||
2nd (5)  (11/10 +45%)Trust House |
11/10(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Trust House 11/10, A fairly useful 12f Flat winner for Ralph Beckett. Acquired for 58,000 gns by present connections and much improved on his handicap debut when readily landing 9-runner event at Leicester (2m) 13 days ago. Big shout despite taking a 7 lb rise. Made a winning handicap debut at Leicester (2m, heavy) a fortnight ago; 7lb higher; player. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/1 +8%)Ami Bondhu |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ami Bondhu 11/1, Showed fairly useful form when a winner in bumpers but yet to match that level in this sphere, eighth of 9 in C&D novice 20 days ago. Needs this switch to handicaps to promote major improvement. Fakenham bumper winner; low key over hurdles (0-3); sent handicapping at realistic level.. |
|||
4th (2)  (25/1 -194%)Blue Universe |
25/1(-194%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blue Universe 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 9f on Flat but off 8 months before coming in last of 10 at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago. Not ruled out back in this sphere. Chased home market leader at Fakenham (2m, maiden) in April; fair mark with AW run banked.. |
|||
5th (1)  (9/4 +50%)Pyrotechnic |
9/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pyrotechnic 9/4, Arrives in good nick, hooded when second of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D 9 days ago. Not taken lightly off the same mark. Runner-up on both visits to Lingfield, incl when newly hooded last week; one to consider.. |
|||
6th (4)  (20/1 +0%)Victory Club |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Victory Club 20/1, Landed a bumper for Dan Skelton in 2022. Missed whole of following year but runner-up in a Wincanton maiden in March. Probably needed run when last of 16 in Cheltenham handicap last month and this should reveal more. Struggled in competitive Cheltenham 0-125 (2m5f) on reappearance; this is more realistic.. |
|||
7th (3)  (66/1 +0%)Santana Plessis |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Santana Plessis 66/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 12 months ago on his final run for Christian Williams. Needs wind op/yard switch to spark a resurgence. Struggled for C. Williams last year; all hopes pinned on wind surgery working the oracle.. |

TRUST HOUSE was value for further than the winning margin when making a winning handicap bow by a length and three-quarters at Leicester earlier this month. The four-year-old impressed with the way he travelled that day and a 7lb higher mark may prove to be on the lenient side. Snapius appreciated a drop in trip when finishing a close-up second over that same C&D 17 days ago. James Owen's inmate has been nudged up just 2lb in the ratings and he's feared most, ahead of fellow in-form rival Pyrotechnic.
TRUST HOUSE still looks ahead of his mark despite shouldering a 7 lb hike in the weights for his stylish Leicester victory so gets a confident vote. Both Snapius and Pyrotechnic arrive in good nick too and can chase home Olly Murphy's improver in that order.
A tricky finale. Trust House is respected but the recently hooded PYROTECHNIC, a runner-up over C&D last time, receives the vote.
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. 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.
