1st (4)  (11/10 -10%)Gale Mahler |
11/10(-10%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gale Mahler 11/10, Bred to stay well but clearly not short on speed as she won a brace of bumpers fitted with cheekpieces in the spring. Rates a pretty useful hurdles prospect and the one to beat if taking to it immediately. Won two bumpers last month and has a big role to play on this hurdling debut. |
|||
2nd (5)  (20/1 -25%)Gentle Life |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gentle Life 20/1, Gentlewave mare. Dam unraced half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Punjabi and useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2½m) Attribution. Caught further back than ideal when third of 7 starting out at Bangor in May 2022. Off since but she's in excellent hands. Displayed promise on bumper debut in May 2022 but not seen again since. |
|||
3rd (10)  (9/2 -29%)Stuti |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Stuti 9/2, Southwell bumper winner who made an encouraging start in this sphere when third of 13 in novice over 20.6f here in November. Disappointing at Ludlow but hooded and back on track when third at Plumpton. Should be in the mix. Bumper winner; placed on two of first three hurdling starts; each-way claims at least. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/1 +23%)Brave Jen |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brave Jen 5/1, A fair hurdler for Nicky Henderson, falling early in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Back in maiden company for new yard. Second in Listed race in December but has gone the wrong way since; stable debut. |
|||
5th (6)  (66/1 -230%)Hazels Delight |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hazels Delight 66/1, Won sole point but disappointing in a bumper (for Francesca Poste) and yet to complete over hurdles. Won a point last year but failed to complete her first three hurdle races. |
|||
6th (11)  (100/1 -1900%)Trudie Glen |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Trudie Glen 100/1, Showed plenty to work on when third in a Ludlow bumper last May. Not in the same form at Catterick 6 months later but pleasing start to hurdles career when runner-up at Southwell 16 days ago. Up in trip and there should be more to come. Not match for winner when second on recent hurdling debut but can improve. |
|||
7th (7)  (125/1 -89%)Ice Day |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ice Day 125/1, Shaped like a stayer in bumper/maiden hurdles. Did not show enough on her first two hurdling starts to warrant serious consideration. |
|||
8th (9)  (150/1 -500%)Silent Auction |
150/1(-500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Silent Auction 150/1, Out of a bumper winner and reached the frame twice in that sphere last season. Little short-term promise over hurdles, though. Placed in AW bumper in January but made disappointing start to hurdling career. |
|||
9th (1)  (33/1 -65%)Barra Blue |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barra Blue 33/1, Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers. Given a considerate ride on hurdles debut last month and he's expected to step up on that. Made underwhelming hurdle debut when sixth of nine in run-of-the-mill mares' maiden. |
|||
10th (12)  (251/1 -280%)Low Tolerance |
251/1(-280%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Low Tolerance 251/1, Big prices and no show so far. Well beaten at triple-digit odds in two slow-ground hurdles this spring (both 2m). |
|||
|PU| (3)  (100/1 -400%)Dorset Lady |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dorset Lady 100/1, Modest bumper performer in Ireland who made the frame once from 3 starts in maidens on the Flat. With tongue strap applied on first run since leaving Timothy Doyle, struggled when sixth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) last month. Makes hurdles debut. Placed in Irish bumpers last year but makes hurdling debut with a bit to prove. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (500/1 -400%)Lune Et Retour |
500/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lune Et Retour 500/1, From quite a good family but looks limited on early evidence. Soundly beaten in both bumpers and on first two hurdling attempts. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GALE MAHLER makes her hurdling bow after a pair of bumper victories at Southwell and Kelso. The five-year-old has progressed with each start and may prove a tough nut to crack again, especially now moving up in distance. Trudie Glen is capable of stepping forward from her first attempt over timber when runner-up at Southwell, while Stuti and Brave Jen are others worth considering.
GALE MAHLER was talented enough to win a couple of bumpers and, taking on her own sex now hurdling, she has plenty to recommend her. Trudie Glen and Stuti have already displayed ability over obstacles and they look the chief threats.
Preference is for dual bumper winner GALE MAHLER, who could have a good future over jumps. Stuti is second choice.

(5)  (5/1 -43%)Imperial Rule |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Imperial Rule 5/1, Placed in Irish points. Only hinted at promise on one of his 3 outings in novice hurdles but was much improved sent chasing/handicapping when scoring at Perth 3 weeks ago, deserving extra credit given he encountered a troubled passage from the rear in a race where it paid to be handy. Can follow up. Improved to make winning chase/handicap debut at Perth last month; major player. |
|||
(14)  (80/1 -21%)Mawlood |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Mawlood 80/1, Poor maiden chaser. 5 lb out of the weights. Struggled when a 200-1 outsider at Southwell last month; can't be recommended. |
|||
1st (11)  (4/1 +50%)Unwanted Attention |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Unwanted Attention 4/1, Off the mark over hurdles over 2½m at Uttoxeter last summer. Best effort over fences when third at Uttoxeter last month and remains unexposed over fences. Placed on slower-than-ideal ground last month and still unexposed over fences. |
|||
2nd (13)  (22/1 -83%)Fast Deal |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Fast Deal 22/1, Caused a major surprise when getting off the mark from well out of the handicap at Stratford (27.5f) and proved that was no fluke when posting solid second in Southwell handicap (20.4f, good). Just respectable fourth of 6 at Cartmel since. Shock winner in April and also performed well on both outings last month; shortlisted. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/1 -10%)Ribeye |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ribeye 11/1, Value for extra when winning handicap at Hexham (20f) over a year ago. Well held next 3 starts but back on track when second at Catterick. Might have found next run coming too soon so not taken lightly back from a break. Didn't fire last time but has claims if judged on earlier Catterick second. |
|||
4th (12)  (25/1 +0%)Miss Wachit |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Miss Wachit 25/1, Hurdles winner in 2022 and positive start over fences when runner-up at Southwell in July of that year. However, has mostly disappointed since and she remains opposable. Second on chasing debut in 2022 but inconsistent and generally disappointing since. |
|||
5th (8)  (100/1 -2122%)The Electrician |
100/1(-2122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Electrician 100/1, Bounced back to form to rout a ropey field from a much-reduced mark over C&D 4 weeks ago. Uncertain to be in such a giving mood this time. Staged a revival to win easily by 20l over C&D last month; still well treated on old form. |
|||
6th (3)  (80/1 -300%)Croagh Patrick |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Croagh Patrick 80/1, A while since his last win but he's been a consistent performer in the main, finishing runner-up 4 times in 2023/24. However, he's been below form on his last 3 starts now so has a bit to prove. Consistent in 2023 but has modest strike-rate and has not been at his best lately. |
|||
7th (7)  (100/1 -614%)Bring The Action |
100/1(-614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bring The Action 100/1, Seemingly benefited from another wind op/addition of blinkers when resuming winning ways at Hereford (21f, good) in April. Beaten quickly after a bad mistake 5 out at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago, however. Perked up by headgear switch when winning two starts ago but has become very unreliable. |
|||
8th (9)  (66/1 -371%)Beat The Edge |
66/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Beat The Edge 66/1, Ungenuine type who again found little when fourth over C&D 4 weeks ago. Expensive to follow and others preferred. Well handicapped on some of last season's placed form but tends to finish weakly. |
|||
9th (4)  (100/1 -525%)Titanium Bullet |
100/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Titanium Bullet 100/1, Still a maiden and was most disappointing over C&D 4 weeks ago. Headgear now given a whirl. Made good start to chasing career in late 2023 but was soundly beaten over C&D last month. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (33/1 -500%)Didnt Ask |
33/1(-500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Didnt Ask 33/1, Won the first of his 2 starts in points. Lightly raced over hurdles but showed ability when making the frame all 3 completed starts. Respected on chase bow. Irish point winner; switched to fences after two very respectable hurdle runs this spring. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (50/1 -213%)Moves Like Monty |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Moves Like Monty 50/1, Irish point winner but hasn't cut much ice under Rules so far, though did at least offer something to work on when sixth of 11 on handicap/chase debut at Sedgefield (17f, good) 28 days ago. Hood back on. Only sixth over 2m1f on chase/handicap debut but open to improvement now back up in trip. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (100/1 -1900%)Empty Nest |
100/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Empty Nest 100/1, Still a maiden and proving expensive to follow over fences, running poorly in first-time headgear at Hexham 5 weeks ago. Weakened quickly last time but his Kelso third in April makes him of interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A drop in trip worked extremely well for The Electrician, who ran out a wide-margin winner over C&D last month. That said, a 9lb rise surely makes things tougher and a less exposed rival in the shape of IMPERIAL RULE may take advantage. The seven-year-old didn't feature at all in three runs over hurdles before looking a different proposition on his chasing debut at Perth, and he is more than capable of improving again from that victory. Unwanted Attention and Ribeye appeal most of the remainder.
IMPERIAL RULE created an excellent impression when making a winning chase/handicap debut at Perth 3 weeks ago and can defy a 4 lb rise. Ribeye is worth another chance to confirm he's back in form and is next best ahead of chase-debutant Didnt Ask.
Irish point winner MOVES LIKE MONTY is very unexposed under rules and ought to benefit from this move back up in trip. He gets the nod.

1st (2)  (11/1 -230%)Kosasiempre |
11/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kosasiempre 11/1, Got off the mark in 9-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 3 lb rise in the weights. Pulled up in first two handicaps but came good with C&D win a fortnight ago; shortlisted. |
|||
2nd (6)  (28/1 -40%)Perfect Arch |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Perfect Arch 28/1, Still a maiden but he wasn't disgraced on his yard debut when third of 5 in Flat handicap at Catterick (13.9f, soft) 7 days ago. No forlorn hope back in this sphere. 0-21 over hurdles in Ireland; ran okay on the Flat for new stable but others appeal more. |
|||
3rd (3)  (13/2 -63%)Summergrounds |
13/2(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Summergrounds 13/2, Got off the mark in game fashion after 7 months off in 9-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 28 days ago by ½ length from Misty Mani. Up 2 lb but firmly in the picture. Came good with C&D win last month and further progress is not out of the question. |
|||
4th (9)  (22/1 -38%)My Portia |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) My Portia 22/1, In good form of late, sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 15 days ago. Can give another good account off a 2 lb lower mark. Eight-race maiden; twice ran okay over C&D last month but needs to find something extra. |
|||
5th (5)  (80/1 -142%)Indian Sunbird |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Indian Sunbird 80/1, Off 7 months before pulled up in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Southwell (20.4f, heavy) 16 days ago. Has plenty to find on form. Placed on hurdling debut in 2022 but generally very disappointing since. |
|||
6th (7)  (10/1 +0%)Boot 'n' Shoe |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Boot 'n' Shoe 10/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for the first time when a good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Kelso (20.9f, good) 30 days ago. One to consider with few miles still on the clock. Made promising handicap debut when fourth of 16 at Kelso last month; one to consider. |
|||
|B| (1)  (5/6 +53%)Supreme Yeats |
5/6(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Supreme Yeats 5/6, Off 4 months/first run since leaving Laura Morgan when landing 10-runner handicap hurdle (11/8) at Stratford (22f, good) 6 days ago. Scored cosily there so big shout under a 4 lb penalty. Makes quick reappearance after winning stable debut at Stratford on Saturday; big player. |
|||
|F| (8)  (13/2 +0%)Misty Mani |
13/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Misty Mani 13/2, Course winner who resumed from 10 weeks off with a good ½-length second of 9 to Summergrounds in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 28 days ago. Solid form claims. More exposed than some of these but runs this track well; probably in the mix again. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (125/1 -25%)Leading The Way |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Leading The Way 125/1, Remains a maiden after 17 runs and he was pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, soft) 34 days ago. Tongue strap on back hurdling with lots to find from 7 lb "wrong" in the weights. Placed over hurdles in Ireland last spring but has struggled since joining current stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SUPREME YEATS made the ideal start for Dan Skelton with a comfortable victory at Stratford last weekend and may prove tough to beat under a 7lb penalty. The handicapper reacted by putting him up the same amount as the penalty and it won't be a major surprise if he is capable of running up a sequence in the coming weeks. Summergrounds has to be a threat following last month's C&D success along with the runner-up from that contest, Misty Mani.
A competitive handicap but it's hard to side against Dan Skelton's new recruit SUPREME YEATS who still looks ahead of his mark under a 4 lb penalty for his stylish Stratford success. C&D scorer Summergrounds heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for course-winners Misty Mani and Kosasiempre and in-form duo My Portia and Boot' N' Shoe.
The verdict goes to BOOT 'N' SHOE, who was placed in a big field on last month's handicap debut at Kelso and may still have potential.

1st (7)  (4/1 +71%)We Gotta Getaway |
4/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) We Gotta Getaway 4/1, Fair form on the second of 2 starts in bumpers, but no better than mid-division in a trio of novice hurdles last season for Fergal O'Brien. Shaped as needing after 11 months off in December and is best watched again after a further 5-month absence. Ordinary form over hurdles and well beaten after a break in December; not been out since. |
|||
2nd (1)  (9/4 -38%)Star Legend |
9/4(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Star Legend 9/4, Fit from the Flat when producing an improved showing to finish second at Fakenham last time. Cheekpieces go back on and he can go one better if the race doesn't come too soon. Followed up good run at Chester with a Fakenham second on Sunday; should go well again. |
|||
3rd (8)  (14/1 -56%)Zuul |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Zuul 14/1, Ran to a fair level in bumpers for Michael Appleby in 2022. After 18 months off, hasn't offered much over hurdles, including in handicap at Sedgefield last time, so has a bit to prove. Improved form on h'cap debut latest (2m1f); needs another step forward; stamina to prove. |
|||
4th (6)  (17/2 -113%)If Karl's Berg Did |
17/2(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) If Karl's Berg Did 17/2, Won his final two outings for Milton Harris last summer and, having been sold cheaply, showed he retains ability returning from a lengthy absence when third at Uttoxeter last time. Not ruled out. Dual winner last summer; good third after a break last month; a contender. |
|||
5th (2)  (66/1 -1786%)Awesome Foursome |
66/1(-1786%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Awesome Foursome 66/1, 10/3 and visored for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Holding form well and seems likely to be thereabouts again. 1-17 over hurdles; placed all 6 starts this year, including 2nd last time; each-way chance. |
|||
6th (3)  (100/1 -400%)Hollington |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hollington 100/1, 9/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, soft) on debut over fences 135 days ago. Had shown modest form over hurdles prior to that and now returns to this discipline. Won two points last year; not shown much in two runs since; bit to prove. |
|||
7th (5)  (100/1 -1718%)Copper Fox |
100/1(-1718%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Copper Fox 100/1, It's now 14 runs since his sole success back in 2022, but there's been a bit more encouragement on his last couple of efforts. Not ruled out back up in trip. Maiden hurdle winner in June 2022; some fair form without winning since; worth considering. |
|||
8th (9)  (100/1 -100%)Black Lightning |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Black Lightning 100/1, Is a long time without a win and hasn't been showing much of late, so set for a struggle from out of the weights. C&D winner in 2021; patchy form recently; out of the handicap; others more solid. |
|||
9th (4)  (80/1 -142%)Longstone Cowboy |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Longstone Cowboy 80/1, Lost his way over hurdles and returned from a 13-month absence with a tame effort at Kelso a month ago, so hard to make any sort of case for. Fair form in novice/maiden hurdles in 2022; not shown much since; plenty to prove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having finished a respectable second on his return to hurdles at Fakenham last weekend, STAR LEGEND makes plenty of appeal on this quick turnaround. Promising claimer Ciaran O'Shea takes off a handy 7lb, which could prove pivotal in an open contest. The biggest threat may emerge from If Karl's Berg Did, who made an encouraging stable/seasonal bow when third at Uttoxeter. The consistent Awesome Foursome is also likely to be on the premises.
STAR LEGEND returned from the Flat with an excellent effort at Fakenham last time and he's the most appealing in a thin race. The reliable Awesome Foursome is a threat and Copper Fox isn't without a chance.
Having shaped well on his recent reappearance, IF KARL'S BERG DID is taken to beat Sunday's Fakenham runner-up Star Legend.

1st (11)  (10/1 +9%)Ballygeary |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Ballygeary 10/1, Opened his account in a match at Bangor in December and got back on track following a wind op when third of 13 at he same course last month. After a wind op, he looked back in good nick when third at Bangor last month. |
|||
2nd (7)  (9/1 -29%)A Law Of Her Own |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) A Law Of Her Own 9/1, Winner of a mares' handicap at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) for Peter Fahey last summer. Generally below par since but latest third over this trip in first-time cheekpieces at Hexham represented movement in the direction and she's one to consider. Bettered low-key stable debut when third at Hexham last month; might progress again. |
|||
3rd (1)  (40/1 -400%)Ike Sport |
40/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ike Sport 40/1, Improved model during second half of last year and took another step forward when landing a competitive, big-field Sandown handicap (19.8f, good) in good style at the end of April. Predictably hit hard for that (up 11 lb) but he's clearly talented and cannot be ruled out. Clearcut winner of competitive Sandown handicap at end of last season; up 11lb for that. |
|||
4th (9)  (66/1 -1100%)Liverpool Knight |
66/1(-1100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Liverpool Knight 66/1, Back-to-back winner of Uttoxeter novice events last July and progressed again when making all in a 2m handicap here in September. Perhaps shouldn't be judged too harshly on his latest effort at Perth but will need a personal best upped in trip here if he's to regain the winning thread. Won quite valuable 2m handicap here in September; tries a new trip today; a possible. |
|||
5th (5)  (80/1 -1678%)All The Glory |
80/1(-1678%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) All The Glory 80/1, Successful twice last year and improved when taking a Grade 2 mares' handicap back from a break at Newbury (2½m, good to soft) in March. Early faller dropped back to 2m at Haydock last time but this is probably her optimum trip and she has to enter calculations. Stylish winner of Grade 2 mares' handicap in March; likely contender here. |
|||
6th (10)  (100/1 -733%)The Churchill Lad |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Churchill Lad 100/1, Dual juvenile hurdle winner who struck again in 2m Haydock handicap in the mud in December. Has generally performed with credit since but this trip appeared to stretch him at Hexham recently and ohers make more appeal. Shade disappointing last month but placed off 5lb higher in hot handicap in March. |
|||
7th (2)  (100/1 -1438%)Pyramid Place |
100/1(-1438%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pyramid Place 100/1, Four-time winner for Milton Harris in 2023 and looked better than ever when coming from off the pace to strike on debut for new yard at Aintree (2½m, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Hard to grumble with a 6 lb rise and this 7-y-o will be a danger to all granted a strong end-to-end gallop. Posted career-best performance and caused 66-1 shock on recent stable debut at Aintree. |
|||
8th (3)  (40/1 -344%)Everyonesgame |
40/1(-344%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Everyonesgame 40/1, Won 3 times for Charlie Longsdon in 2023, including a Class 2 Worcester handicap last June. Well held both subsequent starts and 7-month absence to overcome (undergone a second wind op in the interim) but it's worth noting that he scored on the back of a break/wind op on his reappearance last year. Promising novice in early part of last season; makes stable debut after a break. |
|||
9th (4)  (100/1 -355%)Icare Allen |
100/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Icare Allen 100/1, Smart hurdler at his peak for Willie Mullins but hasn't show a great deal in a handful of appearances since switched to the O'Neill yard (also represented here by All The Glory and Magic Seven). Very well handicapped on Irish form but has not shown a great deal for current stable. |
|||
10th (8)  (100/1 -1718%)Hecouldbetheone |
100/1(-1718%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hecouldbetheone 100/1, Dual novice hurdle winner for Gary Moore in 2021/22 and, following an unsuccessful short stint with Chris Gordon, he confirmed that he is now back on the right parth when making it 2-3 for this yard at Fontwell (19.5f good). 4 lb ris fair and he's not discounted, for all that this is tougher. Dual winner at Fontwell since cheekpieces were added in April; up in grade here; respected. |
|||
11th (6)  (80/1 -567%)Magic Seven |
80/1(-567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Magic Seven 80/1, :Successful on second of 3 starts in bumpers and excellent start over hurdles late last year, winning pair of Hereford maiden/novice events (at 19.7f). Has failed to complete both starts since switched to handicap company, though, and jockey bookings suggest that All The Glory is the stable No 1. Began hurdle career with two wins; hasn't shone in his two subsequent handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Having posted a career-best performance when landing a competitive 17-runner affair at Sandown at the end of April, Ike Sport cannot be taken lightly on his current upward trajectory. However, an 11lb hike could be enough to prevent him from following up, with ALL THE GLORY edging the vote. The Jonjo O'Neill-trained mare looks to have more to come over this distance and she can put a fall in the Swinton at Haydock behind her. Pyramid Place and Hecouldbetheone are also noted.
The vote goes to A LAW OF HER OWN, who shaped well on her second start for this yard at Hexham recently and she should have races in her off this sort of mark. Everyonesgame is interesting back from a break/wind op given that he made a winning reappearance under similar circumstances last year. Emma Lavelle's charge is second choice ahead of All The Glory, Hecouldbetheone and Pyramid Place.
Bottomweight BALLYGEARY got back on track with a good effort last month and remains well handicapped on early-2024 form.

1st (7)  (10/1 -25%)Clean Getaway |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Clean Getaway 10/1, Still winless over hurdles but returned following an unsuccessful spell in points with a creditable fourth at Sedgefield (16.8f) in May. Not disgraced when filling same spot at Cartmel (17.2f, soft) 9 days ago but switch to chasing needs to have positive effect. 0-17 over hurdles and has work to do from out of the weights on this chase debut. |
|||
2nd (4)  (2/1 +71%)Don Occhetti |
2/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Don Occhetti 2/1, Presenting gelding who displayed minor promise only outing in bumpers but little solid form in handful of hurdle starts since the turn of the year. Represents leading yard so he's not one to write off now sent chasing and market confidence would look significant. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Lightly raced 6yo but he struggled over hurdles and needs a transformation on chase debut. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/4 -63%)Isholo Du Vivien |
9/4(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Isholo Du Vivien 9/4, Point winner who showed promise on 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles and all the better for chase debut effort when running out a ready winner from the front at Stratford (17f) last Saturday. Big shout turned out under a penalty. Dominated at Stratford last Saturday and he's a major player again under a penalty. |
|||
4th (8)  (100/1 -400%)Invincible Wish |
100/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Invincible Wish 100/1, Veteran who went close in this sphere at Stratford in June 2022 but he hasn't made much of an impact in 4 starts since returning from 18 months off in January. Work to do operating from 4 lb out of the weights. Last win was on the Flat in 2016 and he's 0-18 over fences; 4lb out of weights here. |
|||
5th (5)  (100/1 -733%)Uncle Mac |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Uncle Mac 100/1, Unplaced on completed start in points. Hinted at ability over hurdles for Ben Pauling/Rose Dobbin without threatening in recent months and now starts out over fences for new stable. Probably best watched unless market vibes indicate otherwise. Some promise over hurdles and needs watching in market on his chase/stable debut. |
|||
|F| (3)  (66/1 -1367%)Conquer The Breeze |
66/1(-1367%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Conquer The Breeze 66/1, Showed modest form in 2 maidens on the Flat for A. Slattery and similar form over hurdles for this yard, best effort yet when second at Hexham (16.2f) last month. Too free back there 17 days ago but has the physique/demeanour to think he can do better in this sphere. Lightly raced handicap newcomer and has possibilities if he takes to this new discipline. |
|||
|U| (1)  (50/1 -900%)Beauty To Behold |
50/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Beauty To Behold 50/1, Made all when successful on second start in points. Still a maiden under Rules but went close on handful of occasions over hurdles last summer and her reappearance run 22 days ago following a layoff ought to have blown the cobwebs away ahead of switch to this sphere. Yard in good form. Point winner but he's 0-10 over hurdles and needs a major revival on his chase debut. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (100/1 -733%)Hooky Street |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hooky Street 100/1, Maiden who went with zest equipped with blinkers when third of 11 in handicap chase at Exeter (17.5f) in April. However, headgear not had desired effect in pair of starts since, brushed aside from 3 out at Fontwell 22 days ago. Tongue tie added now. Overall record of 0-13 and has struggled in last two chase runs; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ISHOLO DU VIVIEN was having only his second outing over the larger obstacles when scoring easily at Stratford. Donald McCain's charge can shrug off a penalty and go in again in this company. Beauty To Behold has gone close over hurdles on more than one occasion and her rider's 7lb allowance helps her cause. She makes more appeal than Don Occhetti and Uncle Mac of those chasing for the first time.
ISHOLO DU VIVIEN left his chase debut form well behind when running out an authoritative winner of a 7-runner handicap chase from the front at Stratford 6 days ago and the manner of that success suggests he can make a bold bid to defy a penalty. Others with chase experience have something to prove so the principal dangers could emerge in the shape of Beauty To Behold, Conquer The Breeze and Don Occhetti.
The stand-out is ISHOLO DU VIVIEN (nap), who made it second-time lucky over fences with a dominant display at Stratford last week.

1st (4)  (25/1 -127%)Right Now |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Right Now 25/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat for Joseph O'Brien but below that level in a trio of starts in this sphere (last 2 for Sheila Lewis). Goes handicapping on debut for new yard and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Makes stable/handicap debut; could be on a good mark if judged on Irish Flat form. |
|||
2nd (7)  (5/1 -25%)Cher Tara |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cher Tara 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve for step up in trip on handicap debut when seventh of 9 at this course (20.6f, good, 7/2) 15 days ago. Yard could hardly be in better form, however, and she must enter calculations. Faded out of contention on last month's handicap debut; drops back from 2m4f today. |
|||
3rd (3)  (6/1 -20%)Albert Park |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Albert Park 6/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish Flat maiden who has been brought along steadily over hurdles, latest when creditable sixth in Uttoxeter handicap (15.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Each-way claims. Placed on handicap debut in April and didn't run badly on subsequent outing. |
|||
4th (13)  (9/1 -13%)Karakoy |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Karakoy 9/1, Fair winner on the Flat for Harry & Roger Charlton and cost new connections 30,000 gns in October. No promise to be taken from efforts over hurdles so far, however, including on switch to handicapping at Bangor latest. 6 lb out of the weights. Very poor maiden over hurdles but his fair Flat form offers hope. |
|||
5th (12)  (40/1 -233%)Ingleby Mackenzie |
40/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Ingleby Mackenzie 40/1, Fair handicap chaser in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead. Hasn't looked anything like the same force over hurdles/fences following his switch across the sea and he now starts out for a new yard. 2 lb out of the handicap. Regressive 10yo; out of form at end of 2023; makes stable debut after a break. |
|||
6th (1)  (10/1 -67%)Gerard Mentor |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gerard Mentor 10/1, Winless since scoring 4 times (including over C&D) in 2022 but took a step back in the right direction when fourth in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, good to firm, 25/1) last month and is 5 lb below his last winning mark. Just a respectable fourth at Ludlow last month but remains on a very good mark. |
|||
7th (10)  (100/1 -300%)High Yield |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) High Yield 100/1, Ran with credit in a couple of starts here last summer, latterly when fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle (18.6f, good to soft) in September. Not seen since, however, and is still looking for first success. 0-8 over hurdles; ran quite well when fourth here in September but not seen again since. |
|||
8th (8)  (9/2 -29%)Cofficionado |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cofficionado 9/2, Posted best effort to date when close second of 10 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 28 days ago. Remains low mileage and is one for shortlist. Went close over C&D on last month's handicap debut; high on the list. |
|||
9th (9)  (125/1 -279%)Strip Light |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Strip Light 125/1, Clearly had his issues having ran only twice since the end of 2022 and didn't show enough here last month to make him of interest on handicap hurdle debut. 24-race maiden; has low mark for handicap hurdle debut but still makes only limited appeal. |
|||
10th (5)  (100/1 -1150%)Pittsburg |
100/1(-1150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pittsburg 100/1, Below form in handicap chase at Hereford latest but scored twice in that discipline last summer and is 8 lb lower back over the smaller obstacles here. Cheekpieces back on. Not out of things. Well beaten on the Flat and over fences this spring; back hurdling with a bit to prove. |
|||
11th (11)  (33/1 -65%)Chantilly Dragon |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Chantilly Dragon 33/1, Yet to trouble the judge over timber and no signs of improvement on handicap bow here 15 days ago. Cheekpieces now tried. Well held after racing too freely on handicap debut (2m4f); back in trip with headgear on. |
|||
12th (6)  (66/1 -371%)Common Acclaim |
66/1(-371%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Common Acclaim 66/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat and posted similar form when reaching the frame in juvenile hurdle before Christmas. Arrives on back of disappointing handicap debut at Southwell, though. Safely held when fifth on handicap debut but may come on for the run. |
|||
|RR| (2)  (33/1 +0%)Sarceaux |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sarceaux 33/1, Won once over hurdles for Alexandra Dunn back in 2022 but below form when last seen 17 months ago and is likely best watched on return for new yard. Out of form when last seen; makes stable debut after 516-day absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GERARD MENTOR finished a creditable fourth at Ludlow last time and that race is working out well, with the winner going in again and the runner-up subsequently scoring at Fontwell. Albert Park hasn't done too badly since going handicapping and can figure, while Cofficionado posted a better effort on his handicap debut and cannot be left out of calculations. Cher Tara is fancied to improve from her own handicap bow.
It could be worth chancing GERARD MENTOR, who has dropped to a handy mark and showed signs of a return to form at Ludlow last time. Cofficionado and Cher Tara rate the principal dangers.
The suggestion is ALBERT PARK, who is now 2lb lower than when placed on his handicap debut at Kempton in April.

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.
