1st (2)  (10/11 +52%)Royal Way |
10/11(+52%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Royal Way 10/11, Fair Flat winner in France and made the most of a good opportunity to easily get off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles in 4-runner juvenile at this C&D (heavy) last month. Looks capable of following up. Penalised for winning a weak race here but he's coming along nicely. |
|||
2nd (7)  (11/2 +15%)Ithaca's Arrow |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ithaca's Arrow 11/2, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1½m), recording creditable placed efforts in handicaps on his last 3 starts. Coped quite well with heavy ground when second of 7 starting out over hurdles at Sandown but failed by a long chalk to match that at Kempton subsequently. Went close at Sandown and clearly not at his best when tailed off at Kempton. |
|||
3rd (10)  (13/2 -8%)Palio |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Palio 13/2, Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and translated that ability to hurdles when second at Huntingdon in November, no match for the very talented Burdett Road. Probably unable to cope with conditions in listed event at Aintree last time and now back at a realistic level. Promising hurdling debut at Huntingdon and heavy ground a valid excuse last time. |
|||
4th (6)  (20/1 -150%)Glorious Lion |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Glorious Lion 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for James Ferguson but made an inauspicious start over hurdles for his new yard after 4 months off at Chepstow (16f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, sent off second favourite but getting no further than the first. Folly to ignore. 0-5 on the Flat; fell at the first on hurdling debut but went off at odds of only 4-1. |
|||
5th (4)  (150/1 -127%)Albert Park |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Albert Park 150/1, Fairly useful form in pair of maidens on Flat but having been sold from Joseph Patrick O'Brien (16,000 gns) and gelded, went with no immediate encouragement sent hurdling after 7 months off at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) recently. Best watched. Ended up tailed off in Swift Hawk's race at Taunton and needed to show more. |
|||
6th (5)  (100/1 -150%)Fayasel |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fayasel 100/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 7f), won twice in 2023. Likely outsider sent hurdling for a new yard. Dual 7f winner; unlikely to be good enough even if stays the trip over hurdles. |
|||
7th (9)  (3/1 +50%)Orchestra |
3/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Orchestra 3/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat for Ed Dunlop. Joined a top stable for his hurdle career and has made a promising start, finishing runner-up on both starts (albeit well beaten at Warwick just over 2 weeks ago). Headgear on for the first time in this sphere and should go well again. No match for Swift Hawk at Taunton and was beaten a good bit further at Warwick. |
|||
8th (12)  (125/1 -25%)Seahouses |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Seahouses 125/1, Fairly useful but ungenuine maiden on Flat (stays 2m) for Ralph Beckett. Has finished tailed off on both starts over hurdles (Grade 2 latest) and looks set for another struggle. Tailed off in both his hurdles, on the first occasion finishing well behind Palio. |
|||
9th (13)  (50/1 +24%)St Just In Time |
50/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) St Just In Time 50/1, Fair maiden on Flat, didn't seem to get home over 11f on penultimate start which tempers enthusiasm somewhat now hurdling. Failed to progress on the Flat after finishing second first time up in a 1m2f novice. |
|||
10th (8)  (20/1 +20%)Karakoy |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Karakoy 20/1, Fair form on Flat, won minor event in 2023, but well held in handicaps last 2 starts. Sold from Harry & Roger Charlton 30,000 gns later in October and he's probably best watched first time up over hurdles. 1m2f novice winner but was poor in his two handicaps; ground might not be ideal here. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (150/1 -200%)Savigny |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Savigny 150/1, Fair maiden on Flat, stays 10.5f. Sold cheaply from Henry de Bromhead (5,000 gns) in September and he's a likely outsider now embarking on a hurdling career. Well beaten in six Flat starts for Henry De Bromhead and sold on for just 5,000gns. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SWIFT HAWK created a big impression when winning on his hurdling debut at Taunton in December and Paul Nicholls' gelding is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Ithaca's Arrow failed to fire last time but is a player based on his second at Sandown prior to that. Royal Way is another with strong form claims, while Orchestra and Palio are also noted.
A few in with a squeak but having been a commanding winner over C&D last month, ROYAL WAY is selected to build on that and continue his fine start over hurdles. Swift Hawk left the impression that there's plenty more to come when accounting for Orchestra at Taunton last month, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Palio and Latin Verse (who won on his only previous start when trained by Syd Hosie) rounding off the shortlist.
This should take some winning but SWIFT HAWK beat Orchestra with sufficient authority at Taunton to believe he might follow up.

1st (6)  (12/1 -71%)Rossbridge |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rossbridge 12/1, Irish point winner. Only a modest third of 4 on his Haydock bumper debut after Christmas but he should have a future over jumps. Irish point win; 24l third of four in bumper at Haydock in December but it was heavy going. |
|||
2nd (10)  (6/1 -50%)The Grey Man |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Grey Man 6/1, Runner-up on the second of 2 starts in bumpers, suggesting he should be up to making an impact in a race like this now hurdling. Staying-on second of eight at Hereford (good); Cheltenham 2m5f Grade 1 novice entry. |
|||
3rd (5)  (2/1 +75%)Jackpot Cash |
2/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jackpot Cash 2/1, Offered something to work on when fifth in a Ffos Las bumper and fourth in a Taunton novice hurdle before Christmas. Potential for better again for a yard which does well here. Has shown a bit of promise in a Ffos Las bumper and 2m Taunton novice hurdle. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/2 +50%)Chevington |
5/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chevington 5/2, Runner-up on the first of 3 outings in bumpers and made a reasonable start to his hurdle career when sixth of 15 in a C&D novice just before Christmas. Has to enter the reckoning. 18l sixth of 15 in C&D novice (soft) is the best form in this but not a high standard. |
|||
5th (7)  (7/2 -17%)Schematic |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Schematic 7/2, Returned lame on Chepstow debut in October and showed he has ability when 11 lengths fourth of 13 in 2m Taunton maiden 10 weeks later. Not out of this but may not see the best of him until he tackles longer trips. Lots to learn after his 11l fourth of 13 at Taunton (2m, soft) but this looks a weak race. |
|||
6th (8)  (100/1 -100%)Scout Master |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Scout Master 100/1, Maiden Irish pointer, pulled up last time (Dec 30). Outsider on Rules debut. Engaged 1.50 Taunton Tuesday. Twice 2nd this autumn from five starts in Irish points. |
|||
7th (4)  (125/1 -25%)Happy Sanchez |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Happy Sanchez 125/1, Unplaced sole start in points and poor form in 4 outings over hurdles. Outsider. No solid claims after one Irish maiden point and four runs over hurdles. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (22/1 +33%)Barbie Girlz |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Barbie Girlz 22/1, Poor form in a couple of Irish bumpers and predictably found a Taunton listed race all too much on her hurdle and stable debut over Christmas. Has her sights lowered now but still hard to fancy. Minor promise in two Irish bumpers; 150-1, remote last in Listed mares' novice at Taunton. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Schematic is the pick of those with hurdling experience but the level he sets is not very high. With that in mind, preference is for SOUTH OMO ZONE, who won a bumper at Hereford a few weeks ago and remains open to plenty of improvement. The Grey Man hit the crossbar on his most recent bumper start and is another to consider on his hurdling bow.
Hereford bumper winner SOUTH OMO ZONE might be up to making a successful start to his hurdle career under title-chasing Harry Cobden. Chevington may give him most to do ahead of Jackpot Cash and Schematic.
It may prove best to turn to SOUTH OMO ZONE and The Grey Man after their first and second last time in Hereford bumpers.

1st (5)  (15/2 -233%)Demnat |
15/2(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Demnat 15/2, Brother to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser Sceau Royal who reached a fairly useful level over fences in France, running up to best when runner-up at Compeigne (17.2f) back in summer 2021. Absent since but his yard a dab hand with horses returning from lengthy lay-offs. Market should guide. French 2m2f hurdle/chase winner; bought for 64,000euros in July 2021 but not seen since. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/2 -13%)Galahad Quest |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Galahad Quest 9/2, Took advantage of drop in weights/equipped with cheekpieces when landing 2½m Warwick handicap chase 12 months ago. Seen only twice since, and likely he'll be sharper for last month's reappearance hurdle run at Taunton. Headgear returns now and better expected. Much more interesting than on reappearance and he's well capable of a bold show if on song. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +0%)Can You Call |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Can You Call 4/1, Hurdles/chase scorer who bounced right back to best following 8 months off when second over fences at Chepstow (19.5f) in October. Respectable third in race that has thrown up winners at Taunton 55 days ago and he's certainly not out of things. Neck second at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) and ran respectably at Taunton next time. |
|||
4th (4)  (Evens +64%)Ballybegg |
Evens(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ballybegg Evens, Useful at his best over hurdles and took advantage of an easing mark to authoritatively open his chase account over C&D 33 days ago, forging clear from 2 out. Yard continue in good order and respected from 6 lb higher mark. Finally clicked as chaser when 10l winner over C&D (soft) last time, despite jumping left. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (9/1 -29%)Quinta Do Mar |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Quinta Do Mar 9/1, Four-time winner over hurdles who also landed a Fontwell chase (in first-time cheekpieces) 12 months ago. Ran creditably on return/following wind op when third over hurdles at Exeter in December prior to finishing well held in last month's Lanzarote Hurdle. This more suitable back over fences. Heavy defeat in hot hurdle race latest; back chasing, probably in need of a career best. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BALLYBEGG had plenty in hand when winning by 10 lengths over C&D a month ago and Kerry Lee's gelding merits the utmost respect off just a 6lb higher mark. Galahad Quest was not disgraced on his seasonal return last time and should not be underestimated with that run now under his belt. Demnat was useful when trained in France and has to be of interest on his debut for these connections, despite a 961-day break.
BALLYBEGG boasted a patchy record over hurdles but he's stepped up with each start since returning to chasing this winter, opening his account in good style when taking a 6-runner C&D handicap 33 days ago. With his yard continuing amongst the winners, he could well be worth siding with to back that up from his revised mark. Galahad Quest with his hurdles return under his belt could emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Can You Call.
Ballybeg won by 10l over C&D last month but kept jumping to his left. There's a plausible alternative in GALAHAD QUEST.

1st (4)  (18/1 -29%)Della Casa Lunga |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Della Casa Lunga 18/1, A fairly useful 2m winning hurdler for Sam Curling in Ireland last term who got back on track upped in trip when second of 5 in a handicap at Kempton (24.5f, soft) in November. Not in same form in first-time cheekpieces there the following month. though. Easily best of four runs for yard when second of five at Kempton (3m) on penultimate start. |
|||
2nd (8)  (13/2 +46%)Lets Go To Vegas |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lets Go To Vegas 13/2, Course winner who wasn't disgraced back over hurdles when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Not discredited on return to hurdling four weeks ago considering that was over only 2m. |
|||
3rd (9)  (11/2 +21%)Regal Renaissance |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Regal Renaissance 11/2, C&D winner who posted another creditable effort when second of 9 in handicap hurdle (9/4) at this course (23.8f, heavy) 63 days ago. Must enter calculations from 2 lb lower. Won two C&D handicaps last season; creditable shows for minor honours here last 3 outings. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/4 +9%)Bonttay |
5/4(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bonttay 5/4, Improved again to enhance a fine strike rate when edging ahead near the line in a 2m Hereford handicap in November. Sent off a strong favourite and looked poised to strike when unseating late on at Cheltenham next time. Obvious claims off the same mark with cheekpieces back on. Hot favourite when upped to 2m4f at Cheltenham, only to unseat two out when challenging. |
|||
5th (5)  (17/2 +53%)Ah Whisht |
17/2(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ah Whisht 17/2, £145,000 purchase from points who scored on hurdles debut at Ffos Las (20f) and built on that effort when second under a penalty at Plumpton back in March. Shaped as though she'd come on for return/handicap debut at Aintree (20f) on Boxing Day. Tailed off on handicap/seasonal debut and needs overall improvement, but early days. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (4/1 +0%)Masked Dance |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Masked Dance 4/1, Much improved for switch to handicaps, building in no uncertain terms on her C&D reappearance second when running out a dominant winner at Doncaster (19.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Handicapper has reacted with an 11 lb hike but big player nevertheless. Off the mark in seven-runner handicap at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) by 25l; up 11lb. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (25/1 +11%)Inion Tiogair |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Inion Tiogair 25/1, Fair bumper winner who was beaten by more than lack of stamina upped in trip when pulled up on handicap bow at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 14 days ago. Lots to prove. 40-1 bumper win on sole start since; only once showed similar form (three runs back) since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
C&D winner REGAL RENAISSANCE didn't appear to see out 3m when weakening into second on her most recent outing here in December. The combination of a 2lb lower rating and drop in trip could be enough for Henry Daly's charge to regain the winning thread. Last month's easy Doncaster-scorer Masked Dance is also sure to prove popular and the six-year-old isn't taken lightly, while Bonttay likely has more to offer too.
BONTTAY made a successful reappearance in a good time at Hereford and was still full of running when unseating her rider 2 out at Cheltenham the following month, so she's taken to gain compensation. Masked Dance got off the mark in impressive fashion at Doncaster on her most recent outing and warrants plenty of respect in her follow-up bid despite having a much higher mark to contend with. Sabrina ran up to her best at Wincanton last time and completes the shortlist.
Masked Dance won by a street when making her breakthrough but BONTTAY (nap) can bounce back from her costly unseat at Cheltenham.

1st (3)  (4/1 -100%)Force De Frap |
4/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Force De Frap 4/1, Dual winner over hurdles last term and, fit from spell over timber, ran out an impressive winner on British chase debut at Bangor (17.3f) 54 days ago. Handicapper has reacted but manner of that victory suggests there could yet be more to come in this sphere. First chase since French days when scoring easily at Bangor (2m1f, heavy); 10lb higher. |
|||
2nd (4)  (9/4 +10%)Abingworth |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Abingworth 9/4, Has improved with each of his 3 starts over fences, off the mark at Taunton (18.2f, good to soft) last time. 5 lb rise doesn't look prohibitive and, granted another error-free round of jumping, he should be firmly in the mix. Impressed with the way he took charge two out to win from Famoso at Taunton; up 7lb. |
|||
3rd (6)  (9/4 +36%)Famoso |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Famoso 9/4, Back to winning ways over C&D in November and, having made the frame next 2 starts, scored with a bit to spare at Hereford 23 days ago, produced to lead approaching last and drawing clear. Fancied to be thereabouts again despite much-inflated mark. Sprinted clear last time, so looks a leading player again despite today's 9lb higher mark. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/2 +30%)Chance A Tune |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chance A Tune 7/2, Confirmed promise of reappearance run when successful over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, heavy) in October. Creditable fourth in stronger company at Ascot in November and fairly busy spell possibly caught up with him towards end of last year. Back in trip now attentions switch to chasing. Should be more interesting back at this trip, if he takes to chasing at the first attempt. |
|||
5th (7)  (28/1 +58%)Beannaigh Do |
28/1(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Beannaigh Do 28/1, Offered more when second on Ffos Las chase debut last spring but has disappointingly failed to build on that, pulling up over further here last time. No easy task on from long way out of weights. Tongue strap on 1st time. Maiden; 12lb out of the handicap today; now tongue tied for the first time. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (20/1 -43%)Iron Heart |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Iron Heart 20/1, Fair hurdles winner but struggled for form on the Flat last year but did offer something to work on when second on yard/chase debut at Worcester (20f) in September. Disappointed at Chepstow (2m) when last seen in November and others more appealing here. Blinkers back on. Fair second on chase/yard debut but tailed off with different headgear on latest outing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FORCE DE FRAP proved a different proposition on his return to chasing when scoring with ease at Bangor in December. A 10lb rise will no doubt make life more difficult for Emma-Jane Bishop's gelding, but he looks to be more than capable of completing a double. Abingworth got the better of the subsequent winner and reopposing Famoso at Taunton in November. The in-form pair should give another good account of themselves and they cannot be dismissed.
ABINGWORTH crucially jumped better than previously when getting the better of re-opposing Famoso when the pair met at Taunton in November and he's fancied to defy a 7 lb rise and confirm those placings here. Impressive Bangor scorer Force de Frap looks a player also, whilst the aforementioned Famoso, who has won himself since, should also be thereabouts in an intriguing contest.
Force De Frap scored with tremendous ease on heavy ground last time. He faces two appealing rivals in Famoso and ABINGWORTH.

20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Tommy 20/1, Pulled up on final outing under Rules for Ian Williams 79 days ago and has disappointed in a point for current stable. Hard to make a case for. Won two handicaps last year; disappointing favourite in his recent point. |
|||
2nd (3)  (16/1 -129%)Shang Tang |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Shang Tang 16/1, Fairly useful chaser. First run since leaving Emma Lavelle when respectable third of 8 in hunter chase (33/1) at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted. Evidently on the decline and when third at Hereford last week he was comfortably held. |
|||
3rd (4)  (2/11 +45%)Tea Clipper |
2/11(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tea Clipper 2/11, Winless since scoring at Chepstow back in October 2021 but has subsequently acquitted himself well in a number of handicaps. Spurned a good opportunity (found little) in a hunter at Warwick 16 days ago but should be able to make amends in a first-time tongue strap. Looks the one to beat despite his late capitulation on hunter chase debut at Warwick. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 -40%)Miss Seagreen |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Miss Seagreen 7/1, Multiple point winner who caused a surprise when landing a 5-runner hunter at Cheltenham 9 months ago. One of the more interesting contenders but has plenty to find with Tea Clipper. It was a poor race she won at Cheltenham when the favourite failed to give her running. |
|||
5th (2)  (50/1 -25%)Jobsonfire |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jobsonfire 50/1, Has lost his form both under Rules and between the flags. Hard to fancy having unseated at Warwick 16 days ago. 150-1 when useating seven out at Warwick in the race Tea Clipper finished second. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TEA CLIPPER managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when seemingly presented with an excellent opportunity at Warwick on his hunter chase debut. That said, the prospect of a sounder surface may help to get his head back in front. Shang Tang is capable of building on his third at Hereford with a step up in trip likely to aid his chances, while Cheltenham winner Miss Seagreen completes the shortlist.
Although disappointing last time, this looks like something of a formality for TEA CLIPPER who stands out on form by a long way. Shang Tang looks the likeliest to capitalise if the selection underperforms.
This looks a golden opportunity for TEA CLIPPER to make amends for his late capitulation on softer ground at Warwick.

1st (8)  (4/1 -33%)Looking As You Are |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Looking As You Are 4/1, Showed plenty when runner-up on first 3 outings in bumpers and promise when third (behind Phone Home) in a novice at Catterick on hurdling bow. Longer trip no issue and is likely to be involved. 2nd in three bumpers; third in maiden hurdle at Catterick (1m7f) just behind Phone Home. |
|||
2nd (14)  (10/3 +33%)Queshi Bridge |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Queshi Bridge 10/3, Good second of 11 in novice hurdle (7/2) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good). Off 17 months. First run for yard after leaving Edmond Kent. Going the right way when last seen and worth monitoring in the betting. 2nd on last two Irish runs; the one to beat on that form; £27,000 buy in September 2022. |
|||
3rd (9)  (8/1 +43%)Marmalade Time |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Marmalade Time 8/1, Promising first effort when runner-up in Worcester bumper in May. Yet to feature over hurdles and will probably be of more interest once qualified for handicaps. 2nd in bumper last May but backward steps in two runs on soft this winter, hurdling latest. |
|||
4th (13)  (3/1 -20%)Phone Home |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Phone Home 3/1, Telescope filly who has run to a fair level twice in this sphere, running into one (subsequent handicap winner at the Dublin Racing Festival) in first-time tongue tie at Catterick. Big shout on that showing. New trip is plausible and best form (2nd over 2m3f and 1m7f) puts her firmly in the mix. |
|||
5th (7)  (10/1 +60%)Lexie's Moon |
10/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lexie's Moon 10/1, Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, but was leading when falling 3 out on the second occasion and offered something to work on when third in novice hurdle at Hereford on Rules debut. Could do better. Should improve and needs to, after her 25l third of 12 in 2m5f maiden hurdle at Hereford. |
|||
6th (2)  (12/1 +0%)Bridget Mary |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bridget Mary 12/1, £75,000 5-y-o, Sholokhov mare. Successful on her sole outing in Irish points in January and signs of ability over hurdles. Needs more time, though. Irish point win; beaten about 35l in her two hurdle races (2m4f/2m6f) late last year. |
|||
7th (3)  (9/2 -125%)By The Grace |
9/2(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) By The Grace 9/2, Fair form when placed in 2 bumpers and better effort over hurdles when fourth in novice at Plumpton last time. That still leaves her with a bit to find but longer trip should help. Run-of-the-mill form but open to further progress and probably in the shake-up. |
|||
8th (4)  (250/1 -150%)Cams Girl |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cams Girl 250/1, Well held in a couple of novice hurdles to date, looking more one for the longer term. 150-1 and 200-1, weakened in the closing stages to incur heavy defeats in 2 novice hurdles. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (18/1 +10%)Hazels Delight |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hazels Delight 18/1, Won sole point but disappointing in a bumper (for Francesca Poste) and yet to complete over hurdles. Won a 2m4f maiden point last March; no form in three runs under rules, unseating on latest. |
|||
|PU| (15)  (100/1 -203%)Roseburg |
100/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Roseburg 100/1, Successful on the second of 2 starts in points but held back by prevailing inexperience when well held in an Aintree bumper on Rules debut back in May. Has left Max Comley. Showed ability for Max Comley to win a point bumper and 5th last May in bumper at Aintree. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (200/1 -100%)Our Flying Angel |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Our Flying Angel 200/1, Offered something to work on in a bumper on debut but has been tailed off both starts over hurdles, jumping poorly. Off 13 months prior to this. Beaten 8l in a Ffos Las bumper but more than 100l in two starts over hurdles; off 412 days. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (300/1 -200%)Bettwyn |
300/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bettwyn 300/1, Green when failing to beat a rival in a bumper 8 months ago and hard to imagine she'll feature switched to hurdling. 150-1, tailed-off last in bumper at Bangor (2m, good) last May. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (300/1 -200%)Mo Zola |
300/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mo Zola 300/1, Won sole start in point bumpers but pulled up both goes over hurdles. Set for another struggle. Won a point bumper but soon lost touch this autumn in her hurdle races. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Queshi Bridge benefited from stepping up in trip on her last couple of starts in Ireland, finishing second on each occasion, and she has to be of interest on her debut for Alastair Ralph, despite being off since August 2022. Both PHONE HOME (second) and Looking As You Are (third) received a timely boost following Brucio's success at the Dublin Racing Festival on Sunday, having chased home Stuart Crawford's mare at Catterick last month. The pair were closely matched on that occasion and the former is expected to uphold the form.
PHONE HOME chased home the promising Leopardstown handicap-winner Brucio at Catterick 4 weeks ago and has obvious claims on that showing. Looking As You Are was third on that occasion and won't be far away again, while Queshi Bridge is interesting starting out for Alastair Ralph back from a long absence.
Those in action over hurdles this term may be headed by LOOKING AS YOU ARE from By The Grace and Phone Home.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
