1st (7)  (11/2 +27%)Kimberley Eve |
11/2(+27%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kimberley Eve 11/2, Ran her best race over hurdles to date when second in 11-runner handicap (9/1) at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to soft) 52 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to idling winner. Being 7lb out of the weights is far from ideal but she should give her running. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 +18%)Regal Renaissance |
9/4(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Regal Renaissance 9/4, Emphatically doubled her tally here in April and has run creditably both starts back this season. Likely to give another good account. Course regular; down in grade with Alice Stevens good value for her 6lb; much respected. |
|||
3rd (6)  (11/2 +8%)Poppop |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Poppop 11/2, Showed more than previously over hurdles upped in trip when fourth in 10-runner handicap at Market Rasen (23.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago, finishing with running left. May have more to offer as a stayer. Only his seventh run when finishing strongly to be close up at Market Rasen. |
|||
4th (2)  (16/1 -191%)Glance From Clover |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Glance From Clover 16/1, Improved in first-time cheekpieces when finally off the mark in 8-runner Warwick handicap hurdle in March. Overall profile isn't particularly compelling, though, and he ran poorly tried over fences when last seen during the spring. Has essentially failed to build on his Warwick hurdles success; tried fences last time. |
|||
5th (4)  (11/2 +21%)Propelled |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Propelled 11/2, Showed fair form on first of his 2 starts in bumpers and ran to a similar level when runner-up in a Huntingdon novice (20.7f) on hurdling debut. However, it's been all downhill since then, pulling up at Stratford when last seen in April. Still relatively early days but has yet to produce any effort of note in handicaps. |
|||
6th (9)  (50/1 -52%)Dancing Dani |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dancing Dani 50/1, Maiden under Rules and recent efforts in this sphere make her hard to fancy from out of the weights. Hard to warm to in her current form from 11lb out of the weights. |
|||
7th (3)  (33/1 -136%)Sammylou |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sammylou 33/1, Went backwards from an encouraging run when seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Hereford (25.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that. Veteran who struggles to hold his form these days and prefers faster ground. |
|||
|U| (5)  (11/4 -10%)Shuil Ceoil |
11/4(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shuil Ceoil 11/4, Shaped better than previously when third of 14 in maiden hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, soft) in March, keeping on without being knocked about. That form is working out well and there should be even better to come now venturing into handicaps up in trip. Improved third last time and should be the type to pay his way in handicaps. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (40/1 -60%)Tis But A Scratch |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tis But A Scratch 40/1, Well held at Warwick in the spring and fared little better from 7 lb out of the handicap on return at Lingfield (23f, soft) 22 days ago. Highly likely that wait for a first win will go on. A couple of fourths in the spring were mildly promising but lesser efforts the last twice. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
REGAL RENAISSANCE can record a third course success despite encountering this extended 2m7f trip for the first time. Henry Daly's mare was ridden to both victories by Alice Stevens and a resumption of their unbeaten partnership could bring further success. Although clearly one of the stable's lesser lights, Nicky Henderson's Propelled could be the main danger despite being out of action for 249 days, while a market move for Shuil Ceoil on seasonal debut should be noted as this is the gelding's first venture into handicap company.
The vote goes to SHUIL CEOIL, who caught the eye in a race that's worked out well at Bangor in March and now goes handicapping from a potentially lenient mark over a trip he's bred to be suited by. Poppop may have more to offer as a stayer, while Regal Renaissance should give another good account.
Course regular REGAL RENAISSANCE is trying a new trip but she's downgraded from better races and Alice Stevens takes off 6lb.

(3)  (6/4 -105%)Iddergem |
6/4(-105%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Iddergem 6/4, Didn't need to be at best when winning 4-runner selling hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, heavy, 9/4) 34 days ago by 3 lengths from Laser Focus. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Every chance he'll follow up. Quickened away to beat Laser Focus by 3l in a 2m2f soft-ground claimer at Stratford. |
|||
(6)  (11/1 -100%)Tip Top Tonto |
11/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tip Top Tonto 11/1, Fair form at best but he arrives out of sorts, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon a month ago. Drops in grade with blinkers applied. Now into his first claimer but with a lot to prove all of a sudden; blinkers tried. |
|||
(7)  (11/10 +83%)Uncle Arthur |
11/10(+83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Uncle Arthur 11/10, Poor maiden hurdler who has threatened a bigger effort on occasions but again found little at Taunton last time. Down in grade with tongue strap refitted, so no forlorn hope. Hasn't progressed over hurdles and his tendency to race too freely isn't helping matters. |
|||
(2)  (11/1 +56%)Zuraig |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Zuraig 11/1, Winner of a Leicester seller on the Flat in May, but has otherwise struggled on the level this year and he hasn't cut much ice over hurdles. Flat winner in May but will need to step up on his recent handicap efforts over hurdles. |
|||
(5)  (17/2 -209%)Laser Focus |
17/2(-209%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Laser Focus 17/2, A fair maiden hurdler for Henry De Bromhead but below that level so far for current stable. Can't be fully dismissed in a weak race, however. Has something to find with Iddergem on their Stratford clash; twice below par since. |
|||
(4)  (80/1 -60%)Brackenmix |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Brackenmix 80/1, £13,000 6-y-o, Fair Mix gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Midnight Moss. Fourth sole start in points (Mar 2019). Remote fourth in a point in 2019 on his sole previous sighting. |
|||
(1)  (150/1 -127%)Protector Pete |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Protector Pete 150/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler/fair chaser Petrastar but offered nothing in a novice hurdle at Sedgefield last month. Lost touch and pulled up when 150-1 for a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield. |
|||
(8)  (250/1 -150%)Tara Vango |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tara Vango 250/1, Well beaten on debut in a bumper during the summer and didn't fare any better switched to hurdles at Hereford. Hard to warm to. Tailed off in a bumper and novice hurdle; has too much to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The form of IDDERGEM's three-length victory over Laser Focus in a Stratford selling hurdle has a very moderate look about it but it could certainly hold the key to this contest. Both geldings are fitted with cheekpieces for the first time but as the winner was returning from a 464-day absence at Stratford, he is taken to confirm the form and complete a double. Tip Top Tonto has pulled up on his two latest outings but if the application of blinkers has the desired effect, then he could easily go close in what looks a modest contest.
IDDERGEM had something to spare when landing a seller at Stratford last month and all of his rivals have questions to answer in one way or another, so he's an obvious choice. Uncle Arthur is a threat if he can see the race out better and Tip Top Tonto can feature if blinkers have a positive effect.
The only runner with no glaring questions to answer is IDDERGEM who fairly readily repelled Laser Focus at Stratford.

(4)  (4/1 +20%)Fantastikas |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fantastikas 4/1, Progressive as a novice chaser last term but disappointed last season and flopped having been well backed on his comeback run at Newton Abbot in October. Perhaps needed his reappearance and he's become very well handicapped. |
|||
(5)  (7/2 +68%)My Bobby Dazzler |
7/2(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) My Bobby Dazzler 7/2, Fairly useful over hurdles and dug deep to make a successful start over fences at Worcester in June. Well held at Newbury after 5 months off 4 weeks ago but might have needed it. Unlikely to be granted a soft lead and needs to bounce back from his Newbury defeat. |
|||
(3)  (9/1 -260%)Hidden Heroics |
9/1(-260%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hidden Heroics 9/1, Winner of first 2 starts over fences last season, making all in small-field novice handicaps at Exeter and Cheltenham. Pretty disappointing since, though was in the process of running better when falling at the last at Ascot 12 days ago (likely to have finished not far behind the runner-up). In the process of a definite return to form when coming down late on at Ascot. |
|||
(1)  (11/4 -38%)Laskalin |
11/4(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Laskalin 11/4, Ex-French winner who returned after a wind op/10 months off with an emphatic success in this race last year. Ended the season on a whimper but step back in the right direction at Carlisle on return. Much better expected now. Last year's winner and a strong form contender if back to anything like his best. |
|||
(2)  (13/2 +54%)Stellar Magic |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stellar Magic 13/2, Fairly useful hurdler who won his only outing in points and offered something to work on starting out with a new yard (formerly with Philip Hobbs & Johnson White) when third at Huntingdon on chase bow/return. Promising stable/chase debut at Huntingdon despite some noticeable market weakness. |
|||
(7)  (15/2 +0%)Dreaming Blue |
15/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dreaming Blue 15/2, Opened his chase account at Doncaster (20.5f) in March but was let down by his jumping next 2 starts. Below form after 6 months off at Wincanton 25 days ago but should come on for that. Well below par the last twice; tries a new trip but he's not bred for it. |
|||
(6)  (17/2 -13%)Taste The Fear |
17/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Taste The Fear 17/2, Fairly useful winning hurdler who came good at the fifth time of asking over fences when shading a tight finish at Doncaster in January. Held his form well after and respected if ready to go after 7 months off/wind op. On a competitive mark if returning from further wind surgery in good order. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HIDDEN HEROICS was still in contention when falling at the last fence at Ascot on his latest outing and is taken to gain compensation here, although his four wins under Rules have all been on ground no worse than good to soft and any worsening in conditions may temper enthusiasm. The Venetia Williams yard is in fine form at present so despite a disappointing return to action at Carlisle, Laskalin's prospects of repeating last year's victory in this race must be respected off only a 3lb higher handicap mark.Taste The Fear was running creditably in the spring but is returning after wind surgery and a 228-day absence.
LASKALIN won this last year off 3 lb lower and is expected to make another bold bid having taken a step back in the right direction at Carlisle on his return. Dreaming Blue has dropped to a decent mark and should come on for his return, while Hidden Heroics was in the process of running well falling at the last at Ascot recently.
A competitive handicap. Hidden Heroics is feared but FANTASTIKAS will surely come good again sooner or later off his tumbling mark.

(3)  (3/1 -33%)Miltiades |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Miltiades 3/1, Remains a maiden but has shown encouragement since switched to fences, making a respectable return from 6 months off when third in Warwick handicap 4 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for the outing and can go well. Eased down on the run-in when third at Warwick having looked a big threat turning in. |
|||
(6)  (5/1 +0%)Martalmix'jac |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Martalmix'jac 5/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark at Stratford (19.5f) in October and stamina seemingly stretched when respectable fifth of 11 in handicap chase at same course (22.6f, heavy, 5/1) last time. Had wind operation since and warrants respect. Capable of a bold show off this mark but would prefer drier ground; had a wind op. |
|||
(5)  (5/1 +44%)Time To Bite |
5/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Time To Bite 5/1, Still without a win but got back on track over fences after joining his current yard last season and has made the frame in both starts this term, latest when third of 14 in handicap at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Often placed but he's now 0-33 including points and isn't the hardest to take on. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 -11%)Kalpaga |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kalpaga 10/1, French import who cashed in on reduced mark at Hereford over hurdles (19.7f) in April. Showed an aptitude for chasing here in October but failed to come on from that last time and has a bit to prove now. Fair mark on hurdle best; she's yet to prove as effective over fences this season. |
|||
(1)  (11/2 +8%)Prince De Juilley |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Prince De Juilley 11/2, Irish point winner who fared a bit better than previously when third in handicap hurdle (21.3f) at this course in May. Shaped as if needing the run on chase debut at Worcester and he may do better with cheekpieces applied. Early days chasing and possibilities back in trip with cheekpieces added. |
|||
(8)  (11/2 +8%)My Granny Lily |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) My Granny Lily 11/2, Competitive off this sort of mark in handicap hurdles without winning, including when fourth on Warwick reappearance (19f) last month. Claims if taking to chasing at the first time of asking. 1 lb out of the handicap. Positively ridden before weakening into a 15l fourth at Warwick; 4lb lower on chase debut. |
|||
(7)  (14/1 +22%)Money For Jam |
14/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Money For Jam 14/1, Nine-race maiden who offered little on chase debut at Bangor (17.4f) 63 days ago. 1 lb out of the handicap. Has ability but pulled up in his final hurdle and suffered same fate on chase debut. |
|||
(9)  (16/1 +0%)Amalfi Skyline |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Amalfi Skyline 16/1, No impact in 4 starts over timber and shaped as if amiss when pulled up on handicap bow at Newton Abbot in June. Best watched on chase debut from 3 lb out of the weights. Limited hurdler but goes chasing on only his fifth career start and has the 4yo allowance. |
|||
(10)  (22/1 -214%)Blazing Hartingo |
22/1(-214%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Blazing Hartingo 22/1, Looked a bit temperamental over hurdles and finished well held on chase debut at Ffos Las last month. 3 lb out of the handicap. Lightly raced but struggles continued when tried in cheekpieces on his chase debut. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 -83%)Fancy Stuff |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fancy Stuff 33/1, Fair bumper winner but was unable to score over hurdles and made an inauspicious start in this sphere at Stratford in May. Likely best watched on return/debut for new yard in first-time hood. Failed to progress for Dan Skelton, including one attempt at chasing; hood added. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The Henry Daly-trained maiden MILTIADES is taken to gain his first career success following a promising comeback when third to Supasunrise at Warwick last month. He came to challenge the winner at the second-last fence before weakening on the run-in to finish third and has now been placed on all three runs over fences. Martalmix'jac had Time To Bite eight lengths back in third when winning at Stratford in early October but a 9lb pull in the weights may be enough for the latter to turn the tables.
MILTIADES is still low mileage over fences and should be spot on after a solid reappearance at Warwick last month. He gets the nod in a tricky-looking handicap. Time To Bite and Martalmix'jac should also go well.
The most appealing claims belong to MILTIADES (nap) who threatened turning in at Warwick and was eased considerably on the run-in.

(3)  (3/1 +40%)Magical Maggie |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Magical Maggie 3/1, Progressing well when bagging her third win in this sphere on her handicap debut at Cartmel (17.2f) in May but off since a below-par third of four at Newton Abbot following month. No surprise to see her get back on track. Handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere despite a productive year already. |
|||
(4)  (7/4 +22%)Obsessedwithyou |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Obsessedwithyou 7/4, Won junior events at Wetherby and Hereford last season before producing another good effort when fourth on handicap debut at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) in April. Beaten favourite at Taunton on return but overall profile is still positive. 2-5 last season and a lot better than she showed on her return at Taunton. |
|||
(7)  (11/1 +0%)Ostrava Du Berlais |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ostrava Du Berlais 11/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Patrice Quinton in France. Changed hands for €30,000 in November 2022 but pulled up in Wincanton handicap 25 days ago starting out for her new yard after a 13-month absence. Still early days for a top yard. Pulled up on stable debut at Wincanton when noticeably weak in the market. |
|||
(1)  (15/8 +46%)Galice Macalo |
15/8(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Galice Macalo 15/8, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser scored over the smaller obstacles at Chepstow last season. Has ran with credit both starts over fences this term, 15 lengths fourth of 9 to Arclight in listed event at Exeter (17.5f, soft, 10/1) 16 days ago, and she's a player back hurdling. Recent chase efforts respectable and should give this a good go from the front; fair mark. |
|||
(5)  (25/1 -79%)Demoiselle Kap |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Demoiselle Kap 25/1, Fair form when winning at Pau in January but hasn't looked ready to take advantage of a sliding mark since. Temperament under question and hard to fancy on UK debut. Interesting on some of her French form but recent efforts have been well below par. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
GREYVAL struggled to get into the race behind Knickerbockerglory at Ascot on her seasonal reappearance but with the benefit of that run under her belt and a 2lb drop in her handicap mark, she is taken to triumph in a race that represents a drop in grade. Galice Macalo is reverting to hurdles, a tactic which last season saw her record a 10-length Chepstow victory, and her front-running style could easily set up the race for the selection, who is normally ridden with restraint. The Jamie Snowden yard is currently in great form and an improved effort from Obsessedwithyou after a below-par run at Taunton would come as no surprise.
GREYVAL proved herself a fairly useful performer when winning twice last season and shaped well enough on her seasonal comeback at Ascot, so is fancied to resume winning ways with race fitness now on her side. Galice Macalo has been in good form over fences this season and is respected reverting to the smaller obstacles, with Magical Maggie taken to complete the placings.
Topweight GALICE MACALO wouldn't want to get in an early battle with Obsessedwithyou but she has a lot going for her otherwise.

(5)  (3/1 +63%)Dr T J Eckleburg |
3/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dr T J Eckleburg 3/1, From his lower mark over fences, left his previous chasing efforts behind when winning at Worcester in September. Backed up that effort when third at Taunton (18.2f) 20 days ago and he can give another good account. Appeared to have no obvious excuses when a well-held third at Taunton. |
|||
(3)  (3/1 -33%)Steppenwolf |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Steppenwolf 3/1, Ran to a fair level over hurdles last season, making a winning handicap debut at Clonmel (19.5f) at the start of the campaign. Has failed to complete in 3 of his 5 starts over fences, but has shown some promise and can do better now switched to handicaps in this sphere. Jumping has been an issue over fences but retains potential; trainer's only runner here. |
|||
(4)  (4/1 +20%)Lively Citizen |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lively Citizen 4/1, Multiple hurdles winner who made a successful start over fences in handicap at Perth in May. Found it tougher when sixth of 9 at Aintree on his return last month, but it remains early days for him as a chaser as he drops back down in grade. This won't be so demanding as last time and he remains on a realistic mark. |
|||
(2)  (11/4 +50%)Keep Running |
11/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Keep Running 11/4, French import who won at Bangor on his first start for Harry Whittington last season. More miss than hit during the rest of the campaign, but went enthusiastically in the lead until departing at the ninth at Taunton (18.2f) on his stable/chase debut 20 days ago. Open to progress. Departed a good way out on chase debut; respected off this mark given hurdling ability. |
|||
(1)  (13/2 +41%)Earth King |
13/2(+41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Earth King 13/2, Went the right way over hurdles last season, readily winning an Exeter novice (18.5f) in February before finishing runner-up in handicap at Taunton (19f) the following month. However, was in trouble a long way out when pulled up on his seasonal/chase debut 23 days ago. Won a novice hurdle but his recent chase debut at Kempton did not go well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
In a race where chase form is at a premium, LIVELY CITIZEN is taken to get back to winning ways after his reappearance in a competitive Aintree handicap. Prior to that he had won at Perth on his chase debut and races off only a 3lb higher mark now. Steppenwolf, who represents the in-form Gavin Cromwell yard, has only completed once in his latest four chases but has to be respected on his placed form in handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Downpatrick. Four-year-old chasing debutant Jolly Nellerie is another likely improver from an in-form yard to consider in a tricky contest.
This could go the way of Irish challenger STEPPENWOLF, who made a successful handicap hurdle debut and can also make a winning start in handicap chases. The 5-y-o has shown some promise over fences and can take a step forward to get the better of Dr T J Eckleburg, who is on a workable mark based on his hurdles form. Doyouknowwhatimean is also considered.
Irish raider STEPPENWOLF contests his first handicap over fences and he's Gavin Cromwell's only runner on the card.

(12)  (5/1 -82%)What's One More |
5/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) What's One More 5/1, Mount Nelson filly who showed plenty of ability but only after displaying a similar amount of temperament beforehand when third of 16 in bumper at Warwick (16f, heavy) 4 weeks ago. Fancied to be in the mix with that initial effort under her belt. £46,000 3yo; 16-1, she was no match for an impressive Skelton debutante at Warwick. |

(1)  (5/4 +17%)Jim De Sarti |
5/4(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jim De Sarti 5/4, Improved from debut when winning 7-runner amateurs maiden at Loudeac (by 1½ lengths from Idrolix, staying on well to lead last few strides) in April. Not seen since but warrants considerable respect under a penalty on first start for his powerful yard. 1m6f winner in France; described as "talented and precocious" by his trainer. |
|||
(9)  (8/1 +0%)Platenium |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Platenium 8/1, 12/1, shaped as if needing the run when seventh of 16 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on debut 6 months ago. Had a wind op since last seen and needs to build on it. Outpaced when it mattered and finished midfield on good ground at Huntingdon in May. |
|||
(2)  (10/1 -67%)A Pro Po |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) A Pro Po 10/1, Milan gelding. Closely related to a winner, and half-brother to useful hurdler Secrete Stream and fair hurdler Lady Iseult. One to note on debut. Closely related to 3m1f chase winner Goosen Maverick; market needs checking. |
|||
(7)  (12/1 +14%)Lightningupourdays |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lightningupourdays 12/1, Telescope gelding who produced a promising first effort amidst greenness when fourth of 8 in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, good to firm) 7 months ago. Could build on that here. Only 6-1 at Bangor (good) and shaped nicely behind the now smart hurdler Push The Button. |
|||
(11)  (15/2 +6%)Ted's Gift |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Ted's Gift 15/2, Ran to only a modest level when placed both starts during the summer. More needed for win purposes but could have more to offer. Not far away in a couple of good-ground bumpers at Worcester during the summer. |
|||
(10)  (20/1 +0%)Strong As Steel |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Strong As Steel 20/1, Phoenix Reach colt. Brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Samson's Reach. Newcomer from a stable with a healthy 11-48 record in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Second reported foal; brother to bumper and 2m3f/2m5f hurdle winner Samson's Reach. |
|||
(8)  (22/1 -57%)Nelsons Star |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Nelsons Star 22/1, £18,500 3-y-o, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Real Milan. Market check advised. Stable operates at a low strike-rate in bumpers and bred to do better in time. |
|||
(4)  (33/1 -106%)Celtic Sea |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Celtic Sea 33/1, Youmzain gelding. Dam, poor maiden hurdler/chaser, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/modest chase winner (stayed 2¾m) Coastley. Stable has had a couple of bumper winners lately so a market move would be worth noting. First foal out of a dam unplaced in 16 races Flat and jumps; wouldn't be the obvious one. |
|||
(5)  (40/1 -60%)Galway Reel |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Galway Reel 40/1, Highland Reel gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including high-class hurdler/useful chaser Wicklow Brave. Makes some paper appeal. Half-brother to seven winners, notably smart dual-purpose performer Wicklow Brave. |
|||
(3)  (66/1 -32%)Badlands Boy |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Badlands Boy 66/1, Diamond Boy gelding who looked in need of the experience first time up when tailed off in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, soft) 9 weeks ago. Can only be watched on the back of that. In rear throughout and tailed off on soft ground at Bangor two months ago; no appeal. |
|||
(6)  (66/1 +0%)Illico De Montave |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Illico De Montave 66/1, Unplaced sole start in points and still looked clueless a year on when well held in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) last month. Big step forward needed. Tailed off in a 2m4f point and finished down the field at Wincanton (good to soft). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WHAT'S ONE MORE made an encouraging debut when third to Let It Rain in a Warwick bumper 28 days ago and Emma Lavelle's filly can show the benefit of that experience to score here. Held up in the early stages, she ran on well without ever threatening to get to Dan Skelton's impressive winner and that run should have brought her on. Ted's Gift ran well when chasing home subsequent dual winner Olivers Travels at Worcester in June but Jonjo O'Neill's charge has been off the course since and a greater danger may be Nicky Henderson's Jim De Sarti, who carries a 4lb penalty for winning a 1m6f bumper in France in April.
Though she may have hinted at temperament pre-race, WHAT'S ONE MORE still showed plenty of ability when third at Warwick 4 weeks ago and sure to have derived plenty from that initial effort, Emma Lavelle's filly gets the nod at the expense of French-recruit Jim de Sarti, who was last seen winning in April and must be respected having joined a top stable. Newcomers Celtic Sea and Strong As Steel can fight out third spot.
Jim De Sarti could be too good for these but LIGHTNINGUPOURDAYS showed enough at Bangor to edge preference.

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.
