The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(7) If Karl's Berg Did 4/1, Back up in trip, took advantage of his falling mark when finally opening his account in 5-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23.4f) last month. Task is now to build on his latest run returned to this shorter distance. Stayed on well to win off much-reduced mark last month; 4lb rise should be manageable.
5
2nd (5) (12/1 +52%) Magna Moralia
12
12/1(+52%)
(5) Magna Moralia 12/1, Fair winner on the Flat last April when trained by John Quinn. Having dropped in the weights over hurdles, produced his best performance for his current yard when runner-up at this C&D in May. Has failed to repeat that effort in 2 starts since, though. Close second over C&D in May but safely held twice since; overall profile unappealing.
6
3rd (6) (12/1 -118%) Nastasiya
12
12/1(-118%)
(6) Nastasiya 12/1, Remains without a win but, after 8 months off, ran one of her better races back over hurdles when third of 12 in handicap at Hexham (16.2f) 22 days ago. Needs to be able to back that up returned to this longer distance. 0-20 overall but was good third at Hexham in June, after a break; unexposed over the trip.
8
4th (8) (8/1 -7%) Black Lightning
8
8/1(-7%)
(8) Black Lightning 8/1, Thirteen runs since his last win in 2021, but produced one of his better efforts when runner-up at this C&D in May. Backed up that run when third again at this venue 16 days ago, so he can give another good account in his current form. No win since 2021 and inconsistent nowadays but placed twice over C&D in recent weeks.
1
5th (1) (2.75/1 +21%) Pileup
2.75
2.75/1(+21%)
(1) Pileup 2.75/1, Back over hurdles and with a visor applied, has returned to form with placed efforts at this C&D on his last 2 starts. Just failed when runner-up 16 days ago, so he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. 0-8 over hurdles but placed twice over C&D with visor added last month.
9
6th (9) (16/1 +0%) Jean Pierre
16
16/1(+0%)
(9) Jean Pierre 16/1, Just modest form in pair of bumpers and has shown little in 3 starts over hurdles, beaten a long way in maiden at Southwell (20.4f) a month ago. Needs to leave previous form behind as he goes handicapping with tongue tie on first time. Beaten at least 42l in all three qualifying runs but may fare better now handicapping.
2
7th (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Minella Youngy
4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(2) Minella Youngy 4.5/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell and has made more impact than previously for his current yard when finishing runner-up on his last 2 starts, in first-time cheekpieces at Perth (20.2f) 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Comes here after running well in defeat on consecutive recent outings; respected.
11
8th (11) (125/1 +38%) L'es Fremantle
125
125/1(+38%)
(11) L'es Fremantle 125/1, It's been a long time since he showed form worthy of note and he looks set for another struggle from 10 lb out of the weights. Yet to add to shock chase win here in 2018 and has struggled to get competitive this year.
3
9th (3) (33/1 -65%) Battle Of Actium
33
33/1(-65%)
(3) Battle Of Actium 33/1, Fairly useful winner at best over hurdles for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. However, below that level switched to fences in 2021/22, with his form going the wrong way for his current yard. After 16 months off, well-beaten fifth of 10 back over hurdles here (23.1f) 16 days ago. Ran well to a point here last month, after a long layoff; may come on for the outing.
4
|U| (4) (18/1 -64%) Times Are Blue
18
18/1(-64%)
(4) Times Are Blue 18/1, Made a winning debut in a Plumpton bumper last May and showed promise sent hurdling when runner-up in a Hereford novice (19.7f) in October. However, hasn't gone on as hoped since, pulled up in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (25.8f) last time. Blinkers now reached for. Unexposed after only five hurdle runs but was pulled up last time; headgear switched here.
10
10th (10) (5.5/1 +39%) Harry The Norseman
5.5
5.5/1(+39%)
(10) Harry The Norseman 5.5/1, Came home well clear in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20.9f) before losing the race in the stewards' room having drifted off the course in the straight. However, looked none too keen when pulled up at Worcester next time. Others more persuasive back over hurdles. Drew clear by 18l in a chase in May but is not an easy one to predict on hurdling return.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Pileup has adapted well to racing in a visor and, having placed over C&D in his last two starts, the six-year-old has leading claims off just 1lb higher than his latest near-miss. Black Lightning was only a length and three quarters back in third that day and also enters calculations off the same mark. However, MINELLA YOUNGY has more scope over this trip and, given he was placed in a deeper looking race last time, he shades preference today.
With a visor applied, PILEUP has returned to form with placed efforts at this C&D on his last 2 starts, so he could be ready to open his account having only just failed here 16 days ago. Minella Youngy has finished runner-up on his last 2 outings and could be the main danger, while Black Lightning can also give another good account.
After returning from a layoff with pleasing effort last month, NASTASIYA might have untapped potential over today's longer trip.
(3) Ma Belle Noire 0.4/1, In frame both starts in bumpers and has been placed 5 of her last 6 starts over hurdles, most recently when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft, 3/1) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Sets a clear standard. Blinkers are a grey area and she's shown some quirks, but she brings solid form claims.
7
2nd (7) (4.5/1 +59%) Night On The Town
4.5
4.5/1(+59%)
(7) Night On The Town 4.5/1, Modest bumper performer would have reached the frame in not for taking a late fall on hurdles debut at Warwick in May. Backwards step when fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good, 5/1) 46 days ago, though. Significantly up in trip. Boxing on when falling on hurdle debut but rather disappointing next time.
10
3rd (10) (33/1 +34%) Miss Blennerhasset
33
33/1(+34%)
(10) Miss Blennerhasset 33/1, Fair maiden on Flat but very little encouragement so far over hurdles. Cheekpieces go on. It's been a modest start over hurdles and low-grade handicaps are more her scene.
9
4th (9) (10/1 +9%) You Say Its Over
10
10/1(+9%)
(9) You Say Its Over 10/1, Showed more than previously when second of 7 in novice hurdle at Cartmel (22.1f, soft, 33/1) 9 days ago. That was a poor contest but that form would give her frame claims here nonetheless. She'll need a lot more than when a well-held second at Cartmel (2m6f, good).
6
5th (6) (80/1 +36%) Newmill Moll
80
80/1(+36%)
(6) Newmill Moll 80/1, Well held in a Limerick bumper on Rules debut in July 2022. Looked a stayer when the down the field in a Uttoxeter novice last month and is readily opposed again. Ex-Irish maiden; bought for £5,500 and didn't show a lot at Uttoxeter.
4
6th (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Moon Lady
8.5
8.5/1(-21%)
(4) Moon Lady 8.5/1, Green in a trio of bumpers and will need to step forward to make a winning hurdles debut, though could well do so representing top yard. Has looked fairly limited in her bumpers as only four ran when third at Warwick.
2
7th (2) (20/1 +39%) Jacktot
20
20/1(+39%)
(2) Jacktot 20/1, No impact in bumper at Market Rasen on NH debut 19 months ago and best watched on return/hurdles bow. Tailed off in a soft-ground bumper here in late 2021 but she's well related.
1
8th (1) (150/1 -20%) Honey Davis
150
150/1(-20%)
(1) Honey Davis 150/1, Pulled up both starts in maiden hurdles- possibly amiss last time- and is impossible to fancy with hood/cheekpieces applied. Pulled up in hurdles at Huntingdon and Fontwell (good for both) and was big odds.
5
9th (5) (300/1 -100%) Mrs Jones
300
300/1(-100%)
(5) Mrs Jones 300/1, Tailed off both starts in point bumpers in late 2020 in 2 starts over hurdles. Pulled up in her two runs over hurdles and pointing exploits do not bode well.
LTO Selection:
14:55 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Expectations could be high for previous point-to-point winner ROSE IN THE PARK after she made all to win a bumper at Bangor on her Rules debut last month. The natural ability she showed as that race unfolded underpinned her trainer's post-race assertion that 'she could be a bit special' and a bold effort may be forthcoming on her hurdling bow. The consistent Ma Belle Noire is feared most, with Moon Lady and Noonie others to consider.
There was plenty to like about ROSE IN THE PARK's successful bumper debut at Bangor and Shark Hanlon's mare is fancied to take her record under Rules to 2-2 now hurdling. Ma Belle Noire sets a clear standard of those with hurdles experience and should ensure the selection doesn't have it all her own way. You Say Its Over is a modest pick for third.
Shark Hanlon was highly complimentary about ROSE IN THE PARK after she made all at Bangor and this looks very winnable.
(4) Adamaris 6/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish 2m Flat winner. Below par on Flat for new yard at Pontefract last month but makes handicap hurdle debut now and no forlorn hope over this trip under Hughes. Four Flat wins in Ireland and minor promise in maiden hurdles; handicap debut.
8
2nd (8) (6.5/1 +7%) Sisterandbrother
6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(8) Sisterandbrother 6.5/1, Modest Flat winner. Got off the mark in this sphere at Huntingdon in May before creditable third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Can go well again. Flat/maiden winner; perhaps Fakenham didn't suit on recent handicap debut there.
2
3rd (2) (14/1 -27%) Pillar Of Steel
14
14/1(-27%)
(2) Pillar Of Steel 14/1, First run since leaving John Spearing when below-par third of 4 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Worcester (16f, good) 36 days ago. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Capable handicapper but ran very flat on her stable debut at Worcester.
7
4th (7) (2.75/1 +45%) Allbetsoff
2.75
2.75/1(+45%)
(7) Allbetsoff 2.75/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 33 days ago, responding well. That form has been franked so he merits serious consideration. All out for his Southwell win but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world.
11
5th (11) (12/1 +0%) Pateen
12
12/1(+0%)
(11) Pateen 12/1, Scored at Hexham in May but only eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle there 22 days ago. This C&D winner needs to get back on track. An 11yo who was well below par at Hexham three weeks ago.
5
6th (5) (9/1 -13%) Simply Red
9
9/1(-13%)
(5) Simply Red 9/1, Scored at Bangor in August and good fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good to firm) when last seen out 9 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running. Looked over-handicapped last autumn after paying the price for her Bangor win.
10
7th (10) (25/1 -150%) Seaborough
25
25/1(-150%)
(10) Seaborough 25/1, Scored at Uttoxeter in September. Off 8 months before coming in last of 8 in Flat handicap at Leicester 10 days ago. Switches to hurdles and no surprise to see him bounce back. Has a big run in him, though he trailed in last on the Flat ten days ago following a break.
9
8th (9) (80/1 -220%) Chasamax
80
80/1(-220%)
(9) Chasamax 80/1, Three-time winner in this sphere for Nicky Henderson but ended time with that yard below par and has continued in the same vein for current stable. Others appeal more. Not shown much in cheekpieces for present yard and others stronger.
3
9th (3) (80/1 +20%) Let's Have Another
80
80/1(+20%)
(3) Let's Have Another 80/1, Course winner but pulled up in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 73 days ago, dropping away quickly. Tongue strap on for 1st time with something to prove. Signed off for Olly Murphy on a downer and failed to complete either run for current yard.
6
10th (6) (3.33/1 +45%) Saturday Song
3.33
3.33/1(+45%)
(6) Saturday Song 3.33/1, Got back on track when second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) 59 days ago. Not taken lightly. 0-7 but he's getting there and was only denied on the post at Huntingdon.
1
|PU| (1) (7.5/1 -50%) Supposedtobe
7.5
7.5/1(-50%)
(1) Supposedtobe 7.5/1, 11/10, career best when winning 4-runner selling hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 17 days ago on his final run for Noel Kelly. Much respected for his new handler. Entitled to win a small-field seller at Uttoxeter; perhaps vulnerable back in a handicap.
12
|PU| (12) (50/1 -614%) Sehayli
50
50/1(-614%)
(12) Sehayli 50/1, 9/2, first run since leaving Richard Hawker when fair sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good). Off 13 months with his fitness to prove. Mild signs of a revival on stable debut but that was more than a year ago now.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Sisterandbrother is capable in this discipline and makes the shortlist along with Simply Red, who should go well if she is raring to go on her first start since last October. However, this can go to last-time-out Southwell winner ALLBETSOFF, who looks the most upwardly mobile and a 4lb higher mark might not stop him going in again. Pateen has won on this card the last two years off slightly higher marks and also enters calculations, with Saturday Song another to consider.
ALLBETSOFF arrives on the back of a career-best success at Southwell and with that form working out well he is fancied to follow up. In-form Saturday Song and Sisterandbrother appeal as the pair to give Mark Walford's 7-y-o most to do and can chase him home in that order.
Alan King's SATURDAY SONG was denied his breakthrough win right on the line at Huntingdon and he can make amends.
(8) Ensel Du Perche 22/1, Remains a maiden after 22 runs. 12/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 64 days ago. Hard to warm to. Hasn't fired on either appearance this year and is now 0-22.
4
2nd (4) (10/1 -100%) Heros De Moutiers
10
10/1(-100%)
(4) Heros De Moutiers 10/1, Winning pointer who has yet to better modest form over hurdles but latest 20f fourth at Musselburgh was more encouraging and he's still fairly unexposed now chasing for a good stable. 0-6 over hurdles but made the frame in two February handicaps; may do better over fences.
6
3rd (6) (2.5/1 +9%) Rocambolas
2.5
2.5/1(+9%)
(6) Rocambolas 2.5/1, Unreliable type who landed 7-runner handicap chase at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 6 days ago, suited by way race developed. Carries 7 lb penalty now and needs to back it up. Given nicely judged ride by Dylan Whelan to win on Monday; respected under penalty.
5
4th (5) (3/1 +33%) We'll Go Again
3
3/1(+33%)
(5) We'll Go Again 3/1, Arrives on a lengthy losing run, only fifth of 7 in Flat handicap at Wetherby 26 days ago. Back chasing with more to do. Placed behind two subsequent winners at Cartmel in May and this C&D also suits.
2
5th (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Honneur De Sivola
3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(2) Honneur De Sivola 3.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who has started well in this sphere, second of 7 in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 30 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's a player. Runner-up in both chases, the latter over C&D last month; must be considered.
3
6th (3) (3.5/1 +61%) Mutual Respect
3.5
3.5/1(+61%)
(3) Mutual Respect 3.5/1, Remains a maiden after 20 runs but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Highly respected back over fences. In fairly good form over hurdles this spring and was placed over fences in Ireland in 2022.
7
7th (7) (20/1 +9%) Coconut Tudor
20
20/1(+9%)
(7) Coconut Tudor 20/1, Remains a maiden after 18 runs. First run since leaving John Mackie when pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good to soft) 11 days ago, folding tamely home turn. Has plenty to prove. Didn't show a great deal for John Mackie last season and was pulled up on stable debut..
1
|F| (1) (50/1 -355%) A Cheap Thrill
50
50/1(-355%)
(1) A Cheap Thrill 50/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Emmet Mullins who signed off with a respectable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good) 9 days ago. Back chasing and in the mix. Unplaced all 15 starts (including six chases) for Emmet Mullins; stable debut today.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Rocambolas gained a second success of the season when winning with something to spare at Southwell on Monday and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Preference, however, is for HONNEUR DE SIVOLA. The Clare Hobson-trained six-year-old posted another solid effort in defeat when runner-up over C&D in June and he may be able to shrug off a 5lb rise in the ratings. We'll Go Again is still unexposed as a chaser and also enters calculations off a tumbling mark.
HONNEUR DE SIVOLA has taken well to fences and looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark on the back of his good C&D second. Mutual Respect is weighted to have a big say in his bid to gain a belated first success while chasing debutant Heros de Moutiers needs considering too.
He carries a 7lb penalty for his Southwell win on Monday but ROCAMBOLAS (nap) was given a pretty confident ride before asserting there.
(1) Courtland 1.5/1, Took well to chasing with Ffos Las and Newton Abbot victories in summer 2021. Well below par in 4 starts last season but back in form off reduced mark with easy wins at Worcester last 2 starts and can land the hat-trick. Up 13lb for his last two wins but has defied this mark in the past.
5
2nd (5) (7/1 +42%) Hidden Depths
7
7/1(+42%)
(5) Hidden Depths 7/1, Multiple Flat/hurdles winner who made a winning chase debut at Kempton, seen to good effect (held up off strong pace). Respectable fourth of 5 at Cartmel next time and fair run on the level 11 days ago. In decent nick and fair claims should conditions remain good or faster.
3
3rd (3) (10/1 -82%) Shetland Bus
10
10/1(-82%)
(3) Shetland Bus 10/1, It all clicked for him over fences with cheekpieces added in the autumn, winning at Stratford and Fakenham. Below par next 4 outings but back to form in this headgear when second at Southwell 6 days ago. Timely return to form last week at Southwell (3m, good) when beaten 4l by one in form.
4
4th (4) (6.5/1 +7%) Hidden Commander
6.5
6.5/1(+7%)
(4) Hidden Commander 6.5/1, Decent strike rate over fences and back to form of late, so expected to be thereabouts again. All five wins have come on left-handed tracks so that's a concern, as is his inconsistency.
2
|F| (2) (2/1 +43%) Captain Tom Cat
2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Captain Tom Cat 2/1, Not the force of old since returning from 11 months off in September and couldn't capitalise on a drop in the weights back over hurdles at Uttoxeter 17 days ago. Last two efforts were not his best but he can't be discounted off current mark.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
COURTLAND continued his resurgence with another comfortable success at Worcester last month and Peter Bowen's charge may make light work of a further 7lb rise in the ratings to complete a hat-trick. Shetland Bus wasn't disgraced when second to a last-time-out winner at Southwell on Monday and the veteran could emerge as the chief threat with Brian Hughes now booked to ride. Hidden Commander is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark and is another to consider.
COURTLAND has revived in recent months and looks up to completing the hat-trick. Hidden Commander is feared most.
Peter Bowen's COURTLAND has shot back up the weights but he remains feasibly treated on old form and can bring up the hat-trick.
(2) Cilluirid 12/1, Back to form when second over C&D at the start of June. Still had a bit to do in a share of fourth when unseating 2 out at Hexham since. Returned to form with keeping-on second over C&D last month and is still on a good mark.
6
2nd (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Croagh Patrick
4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(6) Croagh Patrick 4.5/1, Has largely run well in defeat since the turn of the year, finishing second of 6 at Hexham on latest start 14 days ago. Has first-time blinkers added to his regular tongue strap. Clear second at Hexham a fortnight ago and might be boosted by blinkers here; good chance.
5
3rd (5) (11/1 -22%) The Cathal Don
11
11/1(-22%)
(5) The Cathal Don 11/1, Maiden chase winner in Ireland but has largely struggled in handicaps in Britain, weakening when unseating 2 out at Southwell recently on his first outing for another new yard. Chasing leaders when coming to grief in home straight on recent stable debut.
8
4th (8) (7/1 -17%) Finalshot
7
7/1(-17%)
(8) Finalshot 7/1, Returned from 5 months off to finish a good ¾-length second of 8 to Marajman over C&D last month. Claims if in similar form but consistency hasn't been his strong suit to date. 0-9 over fences and not very consistent but ran well behind Marajman over C&D last month.
9
5th (9) (20/1 +9%) Onenightintown
20
20/1(+9%)
(9) Onenightintown 20/1, Course winner. 11/1, below-form sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Hexham (2m, good) 22 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Won here last summer but not at best lately and 2lb out of the weights today.
3
6th (3) (2.5/1 +17%) Restandbethankful
2.5
2.5/1(+17%)
(3) Restandbethankful 2.5/1, Scored 3 times over hurdles for Olly Murphy in 2021. Finally pieced it altogether over fences when winning a C&D handicap 16 days ago, seeming to benefit from a switch to front-running tactics. Rated in the high 120s not too long ago so should still have handicapping scope after a 4 lb rise. Seemed to enjoy front-running role when scoring over C&D for Brian Hughes last month.
1
7th (1) (20/1 -43%) Somekindofstar
20
20/1(-43%)
(1) Somekindofstar 20/1, Made a winning start for current yard at Warwick last September but has failed to reproduce that form since, folding tamely and pulling up at Worcester last time. Refitted cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. Won off 10lb higher on stable debut in September but not in same form since.
7
|U| (7) (4/1 -14%) Marajman
4
4/1(-14%)
(7) Marajman 4/1, Took advantage of his falling mark over C&D last month and chased home the reopposing Restandbethankful back here 16 days ago. Meets that rival on 4 lb better terms (excluding jockey claims) but it may not be quite enough to turn the tables. Should go well again, though. C&D winner off reduced mark last month and second here a fortnight later; shortlisted.
4
|PU| (4) (6.5/1 +24%) Cornicello
6.5
6.5/1(+24%)
(4) Cornicello 6.5/1, Fair Flat performer in Germany and similar standard over hurdles, winning pair of 2m handicaps last autumn. Well-held fourth in 2 comeback outings over hurdles but he was better than the result at Fontwell latterly (helped force a strong gallop). First-time cheekpieces are added for chase debut. Below form over hurdles in the spring; cheekpieces fitted for chasing debut.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RESTANDBETHANKFUL was an impressive winner over C&D a couple of weeks ago and the seven-year-old is hard to oppose off just a 4lb higher mark here. Croagh Patrick only found one too good off this rating at Hexham last time and that form gives him a big chance, while Marajman and Finalshot are closely matched based on their meeting here in June and they complete the shortlist.
RESTANDBETHANKFUL was a different proposition ridden from the front here last time and can again prove too strong for the reopposing Marajman, who has finished in the first 3 on his last 5 visits here. Croagh Patrick can also hit the frame again.
Top of the list is CROAGH PATRICK, who is still on a workable mark after his clear second at Hexham two weeks ago.
(1) Herewegohoney 4/1, Made a winning chase debut at Catterick in November but in and out since, remote third of 5 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip which should suit. New trip; idled in front when 2nd here in May; well below form in cheekpieces latest.
2
2nd (2) (4/1 -20%) The Wrekin
4
4/1(-20%)
(2) The Wrekin 4/1, Three-time winner of novice hurdles in 2021. Missed whole of last year but decent second on chase debut at Ludlow (23.8f). Failed to back that up at Bangor since, however. Stayed on well when second on chase debut at Ludlow (3m) in April; not so hot next time.
4
3rd (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Fairlawn Flyer
6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(4) Fairlawn Flyer 6.5/1, Made it 4-4 over fences at Ffos Las when landing a 23.8f handicap (heavy) in first-time cheekpieces in December. However, appears to have lost his way since and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Trip, good ground and recent form are all major worries.

9/1(-6%)
(3) Step Back 9/1, Former Bet365 Gold Cup winner who posted his best effort in hunters when second at Carlisle (24.5f) in March. However, not one to trust and ran a stinker at Cartmel latest. A former class act who is way down the weights; ran a shocker at Cartmel in May latest.

5th (5) (1.1/1 +20%) The Boola Boss

1.1/1(+20%)
(5) The Boola Boss 1.1/1, Has taken well to fences and clearly stripped fitter for his reappearance spin over hurdles when decisive winner at Worcester last month. Can defy 5 lb rise. Last month's Worcester win (2m7f) was pretty smooth and he can deal with the 5lb rise.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Herewegohoney was well held last time but is a player based on her second at Stratford prior to that. However, preference is for THE BOOLA BOSS, who had plenty in hand when scoring on his most recent outing at Worcester and a 5lb rise for that success looks to be lenient. The rest all have questions to answer but The Wrekin could go well if back to his best.
A good opportunity for THE BOOLA BOSS to complete the hat-trick over fences with all his rivals having something to prove for one reason or another. Herewegohoney is next best.
Their latest starts saw THE BOOLA BOSS win well over 2m7f, shaping as if he would stay further, whereas the others performed moderately.
