|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (14)  (8/1 +43%)Coal Fire |
8/1(+43%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Coal Fire 8/1, Able to control the race from the front and produced a career-best when a very good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good to soft, 4/1) 18 days ago. This is tougher. Improved form when second at Stratford (2m2f) this month and remains lightly raced. |
|||
2nd (12)  (14/1 -17%)Lighthouse Mill |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Lighthouse Mill 14/1, Placed 3 starts before opening his account at Stratford early last month. Found only another thriving rival too strong when a fine second at Worcester on next start and he's worth his place in this higher grade. Has made good progress since the spring and gained clearcut win at Stratford last month. |
|||
3rd (5)  (5.5/1 +39%)Wavering Down |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Wavering Down 5.5/1, Returned from a 4-month break at the top of his game, collared only close home by a thorough stayer when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Respected back down in trip. Lost out only to a tenacious rival last time and a 2lb rise ought to be manageable. |
|||
4th (2)  (22/1 -100%)Cousu Main |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cousu Main 22/1, Won at Uttoxeter in January for Neil Mulholland but ended spell with that yard poorly. Back to form with a good second behind Fenna's Loss on stable debut at Hexham last month and he merits consideration. Ran well in defeat on last month's stable debut and is still unexposed over this trip. |
|||
5th (3)  (10/1 -18%)Appreciate |
10/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Appreciate 10/1, Rattled off a quick-fire 4-timer over hurdles last summer and easily resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel at the end of May. Ran to only a similar level at Southwell next time and never landed a blow on the Flat when last seen, but shouldn't be discounted nonetheless. Has very good 6-16 hurdling strike-rate and might have untapped potential over this trip. |
|||
6th (13)  (14/1 +50%)Malina Ocarina |
14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Malina Ocarina 14/1, Landed a gamble at Southwell in May but proved a let-down when only fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) 40 days ago. Holds place claims if able to bounce back. Good winner at Southwell in May but disappointing favourite there since. |
|||
7th (15)  (14/1 +36%)Misty Mani |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Misty Mani 14/1, Rattled off a hat-trick over extended 18f here in September and held form well until a poor show over C&D (good, 13/2) 43 days ago. Others are preferred. Dual course winner last year but ran poorly here last month; others appeal more. |
|||
8th (4)  (9/1 +18%)Pink Eyed Pedro |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pink Eyed Pedro 9/1, Fairly useful handicap chaser who ended a long losing run after a year off in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell in June. Travelled best when a close second at Stratford earlier this month and he's not ruled out. Better known as a chaser but returned from layoff with two good hurdle runs this summer. |
|||
9th (9)  (28/1 -133%)Pardon Me |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pardon Me 28/1, Capitalised on a falling mark to make a winning return to hurdling at Uttoxeter in October before quickly following up there a fortnight later. Bids for hat-trick after 8-month absence and certainly merits a market check. Dual winner in the autumn but 252-day absence may have checked her momentum. |
|||
10th (8)  (11/1 +0%)Cabrakan |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cabrakan 11/1, Error-prone sort won a Newcastle juvenile event before taking advantage of a lenient opening mark at Hereford last season. Couldn't get away with mistakes in a stronger contest at Newton Abbot last time and others are preferred on balance. Clear second over 2m in May; not out of this if stamina holds out. |
|||
11th (6)  (7.5/1 -7%)Fenna's Loss |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fenna's Loss 7.5/1, Capitalised on a falling mark in workmanlike fashion when fending off Cousu Main to win at Hexham (20.1f, good) 27 days ago. Jockey's 3 lb claim offsets slight rise in the weights and there's no reason why he shouldn't go well again. Fended off Cousu Main to made all at Hexham last month and is now 2-8 over hurdles. |
|||
12th (10)  (4/1 +56%)Dream Jet |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dream Jet 4/1, Modest form at best in 3 runs over hurdles in Ireland at up to 25f. Starts out in handicaps for new yard and his mark isn't obviously a generous one. Interesting to see how he fares in the betting. Unexposed 5yo who showed promise in Ireland; Brian Hughes booked for stable/handicap debut. |
|||
13th (11)  (20/1 -25%)Rolypolymoly |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Rolypolymoly 20/1, Won twice from 4 starts over hurdles in the first half of last season. Entitled to be sharper after a recent spin on the Flat and goes handicapping from a workable-looking mark. Not discounted. Won two 2m juvenile hurdles last summer; upped in trip for this handicap hurdle debut. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (25/1 +11%)Oceanline |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Oceanline 25/1, Useful winner at 14f on the level for Alan King and made perfect start for new connections when a smooth winner at Worcester last summer. Shaped as if better for the run after a 9-month absence (had wind-op) when down the field at Uttoxeter on return. Blinkers now applied. Ran well to a point this month, after a break, and has slipped to a good mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Narrowly denied on his return from a 111-day break at Uttoxeter last month, WAVERING DOWN deserves a change in luck and the drop in trip could prove ideal on this occasion. Jeremy Scott's charge is narrowly preferred to Fenna's Loss and Cousu Main, while Pardon Me has a long absence to overcome but arrives on a hat-trick. The veteran Pink Eyed Pedro and Appreciate are entitled to be thereabouts too.
FENNA'S LOSS led home Cousu Main at Hexham and that duo are taken to go well again here, with Mark Walford's gelding fancied to confirm that form. Uttoxeter second Wavering Down can complete the placings in a race where few are hard to rule out.
Top of the list is WAVERING DOWN, who was clear of the others when losing out only narrowly to one in a very determined mood last time.

1st (3)  (5.5/1 +39%)Too Friendly |
5.5/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Too Friendly 5.5/1, Like most from his yard he's found a good vein of form lately, winning a small-field Fakenham handicap last month and narrowly denied on follow-up attempt at Cartmel 4 weeks later. Respected under Cobden. An in-form front-runner; should go well despite likely competition for the lead. |
|||
2nd (8)  (11/1 +8%)Castel Gandolfo |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Castel Gandolfo 11/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Kelso (2m, good to firm) in May. Went up 7 lb for that and performed with credit when fifth of 12 at Cartmel since. One of 4 runners for his stable. Runner-up 12 months ago off 3lb lower; excuses last time so returns in fair form. |
|||
3rd (4)  (14/1 -17%)Glorious Zoff |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glorious Zoff 14/1, Rejuvenated following a breathing operation, wining 2m Warwick handicap in May. Would have followed up at Bangor but for falling at the last and showed he's none the worse when ½-length second to Manor Park at Newton Abbot. Could easily have been coming here on a four-timer; seriously considered. |
|||
4th (12)  (3/1 +33%)Myristica |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Myristica 3/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who has taken very well to hurdles this summer, completing a maiden/novice hat-trick. Interesting contender now moving into a handicap for the first time over jumps. Useful on the Flat and has registered a hat-trick in minor hurdles for mares. |
|||
5th (13)  (8.5/1 +23%)Gavin |
8.5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Gavin 8.5/1, Landed a Fakenham selling handicap on his final start for Joe Ponting and notched 2 quick Ffos Las wins for his current yard. Winning run came to a halt when second at Perth next time but it was another good effort. His usual hood is left off here. Hammered 11l by the winner at Perth and this looks a big ask on the back of that defeat. |
|||
6th (9)  (25/1 +11%)Byzantine Empire |
25/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Byzantine Empire 25/1, Largely consistent hurdler who landed pair of small field handicap chase events (at around 2m) last summer. Progress stalled in that sphere thereafter but he made a respectable return to hurdles when fourth of 9 at Stratford recently. Needs to build on that now. Didn't get the clearest of passages back hurdling at Stratford; on a workable mark. |
|||
7th (6)  (4.5/1 +0%)Dancila |
4.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dancila 4.5/1, Useful Flat winner in Ireland for Jim Bolger and has made a solid start to his hurdle career for his new stable, making it 2 wins in 4 starts when seeing off 5 rivals in a 2m Newton Abbot handicap last month. This strong traveller could be suited to the demands of a race such as this. 2-4 over hurdles after his comfortable successful handicap debut at Newton Abbot. |
|||
8th (1)  (7/1 +42%)Everyonesgame |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Everyonesgame 7/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who has won 3 hurdles since April, the latest on 2½m Worcester handicap debut 24 days ago. Shorter trip now asks a different question but he's certainly going the right way. Has career-high mark and a drop in trip to deal with, but he's on the upgrade. |
|||
9th (2)  (50/1 -52%)Clear The Runway |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Clear The Runway 50/1, Highly progressive hurdler/chaser in 2022 but something to prove after disappointing efforts in a hurdle/chase on return to action last month. Tongue tie refitted. Prolific winner but has looked out of touch since returning from 235 days away. |
|||
10th (14)  (80/1 -186%)No Recollection |
80/1(-186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) No Recollection 80/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who won a Worcester maiden hurdle for Alan King last summer and struck at only the second time of asking for this yard in a handicap back there last month. Found a 6 lb rise enough to stop him at Southwell since, though. 1lb out of the weights and this strong a handicap demands his best yet. |
|||
11th (7)  (25/1 -56%)Manor Park |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Manor Park 25/1, Fit from the Flat, better than ever when making a winning return to hurdles at Newton Abbot recently at the expense of the reopposing Glorious Zoff. Ought to remain competitive up 3 lb. 3lb rise sees him on a career high and Beau Morgan claimed 7lb last time. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (9/1 -20%)Belvedere Blast |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Belvedere Blast 9/1, In the form of his life since blinkered, winning twice over C&D before completing a quick hat-trick at Hexham. They were all at Class 5 level and he'll need a big career best to extend the winning run to 4 in this much higher grade. Improving 5yo on a roll and Brian Hughes has a positive strike-rate for this yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The Feral O'Brien stable can do little wrong at present and this looks like a good opportunity for the unexposed DANCILA to follow up on a taking success at Newton Abbot last month. That was his handicap debut in this sphere and he can get the better of the in-form pair Belvedere Blast and Myristica. The capable Too Friendly and the hat-trick seeking Everyonesgame must also enter calculations.
The manner in which MYRISTICA has landed short odds in maiden/novice events on her last 3 starts suggests she can cope with the demands of a competitive race on her first venture into handicap company over hurdles. Dancila, one of 4 runners for Fergal O'Brien, has also done well in his short hurdle career to date and is second choice ahead of Too Friendly, who represents the very much in-form James Owen stable.
Not many of these would appreciate rain. MYRISTICA seems to go on most surfaces and she's coming along nicely over hurdles.

1st (16)  (3/1 +63%)Born Famous |
3/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Born Famous 3/1, Failed to win in Ireland but a different proposition for his new yard, winning 2 handicap hurdles and chases here since the spring. Back chasing when wide-margin scorer in 3-runner handicap at Perth (20.1f) 6 days ago. Big shout under a 5 lb penalty. Beat only two rivals at Perth on Sunday but is now 4-4 for new stable this year. |
|||
2nd (10)  (8/1 +20%)Courtland |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Courtland 8/1, Is on a roll and completed hat-trick in 5-runner handicap chase over C&D 13 days ago. One to consider despite taking a 6 lb rise in the weights. Resurgent 8yo who has won all three starts this season, the latest over C&D; respected. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/1 +31%)Hang In There |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hang In There 11/1, Smart performer who has an excellent strike rate over fences. Bit disappointing over hurdles at Market Rasen last month but this C&D winner is much respected back in this sphere. Five chase wins in 2022; didn't fire over hurdles last month but current mark is workable. |
|||
4th (14)  (5.5/1 +54%)Chief Black Robe |
5.5/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Chief Black Robe 5.5/1, Vastly improved over fences for his new yard this term and he readily completed a 4-timer in 2m7f handicap at Worcester 12 days ago, travelling strongly. This course winner has more still to offer and merits serious consideration. Much-improved 7yo who is 4-4 over fences since returned to racing under rules this season. |
|||
5th (11)  (25/1 -25%)Saint Arvans |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Saint Arvans 25/1, Took his record over fences to 5 wins from 10 completed starts in 5-runner handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good) 28 days ago, beating Presentandcounting by 5 lengths. Up 4 lb but he can go well again. Two wins this year but is not very consistent, and has quite a lot on his plate here. |
|||
6th (9)  (40/1 -60%)Tardree |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tardree 40/1, Course winner who wasn't discredited when sixth of 9 to And The New in handicap chase over C&D (good to firm) 29 days ago. No forlorn hope off a 2 lb lower mark. Not at best on either appearance this year and still on a fairly tough mark. |
|||
7th (6)  (11/1 +8%)Gloire D'athon |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gloire D'athon 11/1, Thriving and he made it five wins from his last six starts over fences in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap in May. Can do better again and another bold showing is expected from this really likeable type. Bagged two good prizes over 2m4f in spring and further progress is possible. |
|||
8th (13)  (10/1 +29%)Fix At All |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Fix At All 10/1, Landed a brace of hunters at Ludlow at the end of last season for Michael Scudamore and ran well on his yard debut when second of 9 to And The New over C&D 29 days ago. Can make his presence felt again. Dual hunter chase winner this season; good second in C&D handicap on stable debut. |
|||
9th (4)  (20/1 -100%)La Domaniale |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) La Domaniale 20/1, Recaptured the pick of her form from last summer returned to more patient tactics when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f, good) 64 days ago. Up 5 lb but not taken lightly. Went close in this race last year and returns after career-best effort at Aintree in May. |
|||
10th (15)  (25/1 -14%)Broken Ice |
25/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Broken Ice 25/1, Irish challenger who has returned to form of late, fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Respected. Lacked the pace to land a telling blow last time but has claims if judged on earlier form. |
|||
11th (1)  (5/1 -11%)Francky Du Berlais |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Francky Du Berlais 5/1, Arrives on the back of an eye-catching third of 9 to And The New in handicap chase over C&D 29 days ago, finishing strongly. Has landed the past two runnings of this event so he merits serious consideration off a handy-looking mark. Won this in 2021 and 2022; warmed up for hat-trick attempt with respectable run last month. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (16/1 -78%)Killer Clown |
16/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Killer Clown 16/1, Dual handicap winner over 2½m in 2021/22 season. Lightly raced since but got back on track when third of 12 to Gloire d'Athon in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Shortlisted. Looked back in good nick when third at Uttoxeter in May but overall profile not convincing. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (22/1 -144%)And The New |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) And The New 22/1, Relatively low-mileage chaser who improved to win 9-runner handicap chase over C&D 29 days ago by 4½ lengths from Fix At All. Hiked up 10 lb but he was well on top at the finish so ought to be in the shake-up. Ready winner of C&D trial for this race last month; still well treated on best 2022 form. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (22/1 -38%)Railway Hurricane |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Railway Hurricane 22/1, Finally got off the mark as a chaser in 7-runner novice at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 18 days ago. This Irish raider can't be dismissed back in handicap company. Battled on well to win Tipperary novice this month; enters calculations. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Francky Du Berlais comes here in search of a hat-trick in this prestigious contest, but it may be his younger, less exposed stablemate COURTLAND that outdoes him on this occasion. The son of Court Cave arrives here on four-timer, having scored comfortably over C&D recently, and he looks as though he may be up to the task. Last year's narrow second La Domaniale is key player again after a confidence-boosting win at Aintree, while Gloire D'Athon is one who has put together an excellent record over the larger obstacles.
A fiercely competitive Summer Plate but it's hard to go against BORN FAMOUS who has gone unbeaten in four starts since joining Iain Jardine yet still looks ahead of her mark under a 5 lb penalty for her easy Perth success. Chief Black Robe is another who hasn't looked back for a yard switch and feared most in a bid for his own five-timer. Francky du Berlais teed himself up well for his hat-trick attempt when third over C&D and must enter calculations too. Gloire d'Athon completes the shortlist.
Several of these are in good form but FRANCKY DU BERLAIS (nap) is back on a good mark and can win this race for the third year running.

1st (2)  (2.25/1 +30%)The Big Jetaway |
2.25/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Big Jetaway 2.25/1, Posted solid efforts in novice hurdles of late and won 1 of his 2 starts in this sphere last year. May be capable of better yet. Chase winner in 2022 and placed in two novice hurdles this season; still has potential. |
|||
2nd (3)  (2.75/1 -22%)Chess Player |
2.75/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chess Player 2.75/1, Showed improved form when scoring on chase debut at Worcester last summer and added to his tally when making light of an 8-month absence at Huntingdon (2m, good) in May. Not in quite same form latest but must enter calculations. Cheekpieces back on. Doubled chasing tally at Huntingdon in May and again ran well on latest outing. |
|||
3rd (1)  (4/1 +56%)Due Reward |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Due Reward 4/1, Fairly useful chaser at best but has offered little on both Rules starts since leaving Charlie Longsdon (added to his tally in points in between). However, has fallen a long way down the handicap and is worth a check in the market on debut for Laura Morgan. Useful chaser in his prime but latest win came in modest point; stable debut today. |
|||
4th (4)  (5/1 -25%)Getaway Jewel |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Getaway Jewel 5/1, Dual C&D winner last summer and back on the scoreboard at Southwell (15.8f) on penultimate start. However, not the most consistent and proved disappointing at the same course last time. Looked as good as ever at Southwell in June but well beaten there since; hard to predict. |
|||
5th (5)  (5/1 -67%)Roxboro Road |
5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Roxboro Road 5/1, Three-time winner for this yard in 2021 but lightly raced and largely disappointing since. However, travelled well for a long way at Cartmel (21.1f) last time and has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper. Took big step back in right direction last month and remains very well handicapped. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
In not the strongest of contests, a tentative vote is for CHESS PLAYER, who finished a distant third over 2m at Southwell last month. He is now rated 6lb above his last winning mark and is fancied to get the better of The Big Jetaway, who reverts to chasing following a fair second over timber at Uttoxeter most recently. Getaway Jewel heads the remainder.
ROXBORO ROAD is attractively weighted and signalled a return to form at Cartmel last month. He can get back to winning ways. The Big Jetaway is feared most.
After hinting at a possibe return to form at Cartmel three weeks ago, ROXBORO ROAD is taken to exploit his much-reduced handicap mark.

1st (8)  (14/1 +30%)Roll With It |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Roll With It 14/1, Fair form when placed twice in bumpers at the start of 2022 but ran no sort of race sent hurdling after 16 months off at Worcester 12 days ago, possibly amiss. Strong claims if judged on early-2022 bumper form but well beaten on recent hurdle debut. |
|||
2nd (3)  (6/1 -33%)Cheltenam De Vaige |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cheltenam De Vaige 6/1, Fairly useful chaser who ran up to his best when third in a Cheltenham hunter in May. Pulled up at Stratford subsequently and now returns to hurdling having rejoined former yard. Multiple chase/point winner; current hurdling ability tricky to gauge; still considered. |
|||
3rd (9)  (6.5/1 +28%)Sforza Castle |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sforza Castle 6.5/1, Steadily going the right way so not without hope if taking another step forward. Positives can be drawn from both hurdle runs; might be more interesting in handicaps. |
|||
4th (7)  (20/1 +90%)Moro Rock |
20/1(+90%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Moro Rock 20/1, Just modest form at best in a trio of bumpers so is opposable on this switch to hurdling. Not disgraced in three bumpers last season but improvement needed on hurdling debut. |
|||
5th (4)  (20/1 +39%)Fulgurant |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fulgurant 20/1, Placed on completed start in points but well held in a bumper and maiden hurdle for new yard this spring. Tongue tied first time. Placed in a point last year but has made very underwhelming start to rules career. |
|||
6th (11)  (16/1 -45%)Conquer The Breeze |
16/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Conquer The Breeze 16/1, Showed modest form in 2 maidens on the Flat for A. Slattery and ran to a similar level sent hurdling in a tongue strap after 13 months off when third in 7-runner maiden at Perth (16.2f) 4 weeks ago. Place claims if building on that up in trip. Made fairly encouraging stable/hurdle debut last month but others look stronger here. |
|||
7th (1)  (11/1 -38%)Baikal |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Baikal 11/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Left hurdle debut behind when springing a 25/1 surprise in 2m Worcester maiden in May. However, was found out in a stronger race there 12 days ago and looks vulnerable once again. Surprise winner of modest Worcester maiden in May; soundly beaten there recently. |
|||
8th (5)  (9/1 +10%)Grand Auld Tune |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grand Auld Tune 9/1, €21,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Brother to useful hurdler Happy Jacky, and half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Dreadnot. Dam unraced. Fourth sole start in point bumpers (May 13). Sobegrand appears stable's main hope. Only fourth in a point bumper on debut but with a good stable for rules career. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (1.2/1 +4%)Sobegrand |
1.2/1(+4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sobegrand 1.2/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who took another step forward to get off the mark over hurdles in 9-runner maiden at Stratford (16.3f) 18 days ago, rallying to lead soon after last and surging clear. Will go on improving and looks up to defying a penalty over this longer trip. Ran on well for clearcut success at Stratford this month and is open to more progress. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (22/1 -144%)Buck Of Maine |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Buck Of Maine 22/1, From a good French family and showed promise when third of 6 in a Plumpton bumper on debut. Disappointing bearing in mind that promise at Newton Abbot last time but longer trip a plus now hurdling. Made the frame in two run-of-the-mill spring bumpers; more needed on this hurdle debut. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (150/1 -50%)Le Bayou |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Le Bayou 150/1, Poor handicapper on Flat and has shaped as if amiss last 2 starts. Easily passed over. Has struggled off basement marks on the Flat lately; can't be recommended on hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SOBEGRAND got off the mark at the third time of asking in stylish fashion at Stratford earlier this month and a reproduction of that effort can see him firmly in the picture here. He does have to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, but receives a handy weight-for-age allowance and he looks the one to beat. Conquer The Breeze can build on his hurdling bow and is feared most ahead of the unexposed Buck Of Maine.
SOBEGRAND was regressive in a light career on the Flat, but is doing the complete opposite of that over hurdles and looks up to defying a penalty over this longer trip based on the manner of his Stratford win. Buck of Maine showed some promise on the first of 2 bumper runs and is bred to be suited by the step up to 2½m. Conquer The Breeze is another with place claims.
The most obvious answer to this very ordinary novice is SOBEGRAND, who comes here after a convincing 2m win at Stratford 18 days ago.

1st (9)  (1.38/1 +45%)Nadim |
1.38/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nadim 1.38/1, Progressive since switched to handicaps and cheekpieces eked out a bit more when he scored at Stratford last week. Another bold showing seems likely. Avoids a penalty for Stratford win on Sunday and still has low mileage; obvious claims. |
|||
2nd (1)  (2/1 +60%)Adamaris |
2/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Adamaris 2/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish 2m Flat winner and produced comfortably his best effort to date over hurdles when landing a C&D handicap 13 days ago. More to come and makes plenty of appeal. Scored over C&D on recent handicap hurdle debut and could easily have more to offer. |
|||
3rd (4)  (8/1 +27%)Mcgowan's Pass |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mcgowan's Pass 8/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 9/1, good second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Seems likely to give another good account for all that others have more potential. Consistent since the winter but hasn't won for ages and needs significant rain. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 +22%)Beaumesnil |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Beaumesnil 7/1, Signs of ability starting out under Rules in a Perth bumper in April and there have been positives to be gleaned from both outings over hurdles. Notable handicap debutant in first-time cheekpieces. Went close in Hexham novice last month; cheekpices on for handicap debut; one to consider. |
|||
5th (8)  (14/1 -27%)Magna Moralia |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Magna Moralia 14/1, Fair winner on the Flat last April when trained by John Quinn. Having dropped in the weights over hurdles, bounced back to form when second at this course 13 days ago. Could build on that. Second twice over 2m4f here this season but overall profile remains unconvincing. |
|||
6th (6)  (20/1 -67%)Tio Mio |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tio Mio 20/1, Fair Flat winner who is yet to show anything over hurdles. Better than the result on the level last time and could do better now handicapping for the first time in this sphere. Fair Flat-racer; hasn't shown much over hurdles but Sean Bowen booked for handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A 5lb rise following a cosy win over C&D earlier this month could prove too much for Adamaris, so ENTHUSED gets the vote. Only narrowly denied over a similar trip at Stratford on his most recent outing, he looks the one to beat off the same mark. Mcgowan's Pass is another to bear in mind dropping in distance following a fair second over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month.
NADIM has a solid profile and his latest success at Stratford is backed up by the time, so he gets the nod ahead of Rakhine State, who scored off this mark over the larger obstacles recently. Adamaris is another major player.
Preference is for ADAMARIS, who came from off the pace to make a winning handicap debut over C&D a fortnight ago.

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.
