(3)  (2.25/1 -29%)Wasthatok |
2.25/1(-29%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Wasthatok 2.25/1, Made winning start over hurdles when taking 13-runner maiden at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft) in April, easily. Disappointed at Clonmel next time but has posted a couple of respectable efforts on the level subsequently and has leading claims back over hurdles. Maiden winner in Ireland and has been holding his own in some Flat maidens of late. |
|||
(4)  (2.25/1 +0%)All The Glory |
2.25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) All The Glory 2.25/1, Fair bumper performer who got off the mark over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces in 5-runner novice at Hexham (16.2f) in May, quickening to lead entering final 100 yds. That form has worked out better than expected and she ought to go well under a penalty. Didn't have to improve to win at Hexham but she'll give her running once more. |
|||
(1)  (3.5/1 -5%)Book Of Secrets |
3.5/1(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Book Of Secrets 3.5/1, Confirmed his return to form in running away with a weak maiden over C&D 13 days ago, going with enthusiasm and in command a long way out. Needs more under a penalty in a deeper race. 1m2f winner; dominant from a long way out when unchallenged over C&D two weeks ago. |
|||
(2)  (3.5/1 +22%)Roll With It |
3.5/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Roll With It 3.5/1, Fair form when placed twice in bumpers at the start of 2022. Ran sort of race making Worcester hurdle debut after 16 months but proved that running all wrong when scoring here (20,6f) 4 weeks ago, always holding on. May do better still. Course winner; more needed if he's to follow up with a penalty but has each-way claims. |
|||
(6)  (16/1 +47%)Point Of Honour |
16/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Point Of Honour 16/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), won at Catterick in July, creditable effort last time. Makes a belated hurdles debut. This a belated debut over hurdles and he's had a lot of racing on the Flat. |
|||
(9)  (28/1 +30%)Horizon Dove |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Horizon Dove 28/1, Looks more one for handicaps after this. 50-1 when a never-dangerous fourth behind Roll With It here recently; one for handicaps. |
|||
(10)  (66/1 +0%)Out On A Jink |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Out On A Jink 66/1, Well held on her completed start in Irish points and achieved nothing on her recent Rules debut at Bangor, either. No real promise in two Irish points and similar story in a Bangor maiden hurdle. |
|||
(11)  (125/1 -89%)Cellar Club |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Cellar Club 125/1, Offered little in Newton Abbot bumper (16.8f, good, 50/1) on debut 19 days ago. Makes a quick switch to hurdles. Struggling some way out when tailed off in a Newton Abbot bumper. |
|||
(5)  (250/1 -150%)Le Bayou |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Le Bayou 250/1, Poor handicapper on Flat and no promise either start over hurdles. Blinkers on for the 1st time in this code. Pulled up behind Roll With It here last month and finished tailed off. |
|||
(8)  (250/1 -150%)Jumhoor |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jumhoor 250/1, Modest maiden handicapper on Flat for David O'Meara and showed nothing sent hurdling after 11 months off at Stratford in June, losing touch 3 out. Cheekpieces and tongue strap combination applied. Never placed on the Flat (0-8) and showed next to nothing on hurdling debut at Stratford. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WASTHATOK was somewhat disappointing on his last run in this sphere when failing to beat a rival home at Clonmel, but Gavin Cromwell's charge has been running with credit on the level since and could take some stopping on the switch back to timber. All The Glory beat subsequent four-time winner Titanium Moon at Hexham in May and is feared most, ahead of Book of Secrets, who was quite taking when romping home over C&D earlier this month.
ALL THE GLORY was value for a bit extra over the result when opening her account at Hexham back in May and, with that form working out well, she's fancied to defy a penalty. Irish-raider Wasthatok has been ticking over nicely on the level and rates the main threat ahead of Roll With It.
Irish challenger WASTHATOK should be hard to beat if replicating the form of his breakthrough win in April.

(3)  (1.75/1 +42%)Gambie Tiep |
1.75/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gambie Tiep 1.75/1, Only poor hurdler/chaser for Sarah-Jayne Davies but has looked an entirely different proposition for this yard, scoring over fences at Uttoxeter and hurdles at Perth. Failed to land odds at Worcester since but was having third run in 10 days. Can bounce back. Ran flat when hat-trick bid came too soon latest; respected after a break although up 9lb. |
|||
(6)  (3.5/1 +61%)Gone In Sixty |
3.5/1(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gone In Sixty 3.5/1, Remains a maiden though latest second at Worcester was his best effort over hurdles yet. Makes chase debut. Returned to form in a Worcester hurdle latest; cheekpieces retained for chasing debut. |
|||
(5)  (5/1 -50%)Pittsburg |
5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pittsburg 5/1, Left previous chase efforts behind when justifying support in emphatic fashion at Perth 17 days ago. That was only his third start over fences so could well follow up. 10lb rise for Perth rout could have been far worse; still very early days over fences. |
|||
(2)  (12/1 -20%)Ben Buie |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ben Buie 12/1, Winner 3 of his last 4 starts before pulled up at Leicester. Freshened up since so could well bounce back. Added three more 2m chase wins last term (good); faces competition if set to make all. |
|||
(4)  (12/1 +25%)Going Mobile |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Going Mobile 12/1, Successful 3 times last season but has run lamentably on 3 out of 4 starts since. Stays further than this, and no ground issues; cheekpieces of Carlisle March win return. |
|||
(8)  (12/1 +40%)Punches Cross |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Punches Cross 12/1, Useful handicap chaser at best for Joseph Patrick O'Brien but form has gone the wrong way for his current trainer. Mark tumbling but can only be of interest if the market vibes are positive. In marked decline in recent times; hurdles fourth under this rider latest not persuasive. |
|||
(1)  (12/1 -220%)First Revolution |
12/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) First Revolution 12/1, Three-time winner at Sedgefield last summer and as good as ever when resuming winning ways at Hexham 88 days ago. Has a good strike rate for one at this level so needs considering. Trip and ground are fine, and last-time Hexham winner may well find this also run to suit. |
|||
(9)  (18/1 +28%)Uncle O |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Uncle O 18/1, One win from 29 NH runs and 16 runs since last win in 2021. Ran poorly at Southwell last time and others preferred. C&D winner off 4lb higher two summers ago; surprising if nothing proves more progressive. |
|||
(11)  (20/1 +39%)Blackjacktennessee |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Blackjacktennessee 20/1, Long-standing maiden who makes no appeal from out of the handicap. Still winless, but drop to this trip is worth a go considering he often tries to make all. |
|||
(10)  (125/1 -150%)My Boy Grizzle |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) My Boy Grizzle 125/1, No form over hurdles and easily passed over on chase bow. Minor promise on hurdling bow in March but little since; best watched on switch to fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 3lb rise for First Revolution's triumph at Hexham in May looks more than fair, but the nine-year-old may be worth taking on now switched to a course with an emphasis on speed. PITTSBURG proved a different proposition when recording a first success over fences at Perth and holds leading claims. Ryan Potter's gelding now has conditional Finn Lambert on board to claim a handy 5lb, effectively resulting in him only carrying 4lb more. Ensel Du Perche bids for a hat-trick and is another to note.
PITTSBURG justified support at Perth and the way he scooted clear suggests he can defy a 9 lb rise. Gambie Tiep can be expected to get back on track after a short break, while last-time-out winners Ensel du Perche and First Revolution make this a competitive race for the grade.
A likely solid pace should ensure PITTSBURG doesn't get there too soon, and he's taken to deny Ensel Du Perche the hat-trick.

(1)  (2.25/1 +25%)Young Wolf |
2.25/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Young Wolf 2.25/1, Multiple hurdles/chase winner who has dropped a long way in the weights and showed more encouragement when fourth at Sothwell a month ago. Worth chancing in a weak affair. Has dropped a long way in the weights but his last win was in 2020; down the list. |
|||
(5)  (2.75/1 -150%)Toad Of Toad Hall |
2.75/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Toad Of Toad Hall 2.75/1, 5/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good to firm) 83 days ago, pushed out. Both wins have come at that track but obvious claims if he returns from a break in the same form. Only 5lb higher than for his emphatic win at Fontwell in May and he should be hard to beat. |
|||
(4)  (5/1 +50%)Joyful Kit |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Joyful Kit 5/1, Sketchy jumper of hurdles but fared a bit better when third at Worcester on chasing debut. Needs to build on that if she's to feature, though. 0-23 but she made an encouraging start over fences at Worcester last month; in the mix. |
|||
(6)  (6/1 +63%)Lough Salt |
6/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lough Salt 6/1, Successful twice in early 2022 but little to get excited about since, only sixth at Southwell last month. Others make more appeal. Well handicapped on his Doncaster wins early last year but he's generally struggled since. |
|||
(2)  (7/1 -8%)Rebel Leader |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Rebel Leader 7/1, Pair of chase wins in autumn 2021. Lightly raced since and beaten a long way out at Worcester last time. Blinkers tried after a short break. Lightly raced in recent years with several non-completions; others are more convincing. |
|||
(3)  (8/1 +33%)Chitchat Sally |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chitchat Sally 8/1, Winning Irish pointer who failed to justify market prominence when well held on her chasing debut and was pulled up at Southwell subsequently, so arriives with a bit to prove. 1-21 in Irish points and has struggled in her seven runs under rules; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TOAD OF TOAD HALL came home in splendid isolation at Fontwell in May and Alex Dunn's gelding rates as the one to beat off only 5lb higher here. Young Wolf offered something to work with on his fourth-placed seasonal debut at Southwell last month, with the veteran fancied to emerge as the main threat ahead of Rebel Leader, who may be freshened up by first-time blinkers.
YOUNG WOLF is handicapped to win and showed a glimmer of promise when fourth at Southwell a month ago, so he's worth taking a chance on in a race that doesn't look like it will take much winning. Toad of Toad Hall was successful at Fontwell when last seen, so he's an obvious threat,, while Joyful Kit can't be completely dismissed.
This looks a good opportunity for TOAD OF TOAD HALL, who was a runaway winner at Fontwell last time and is only 5lb higher here.

(3)  (1.75/1 +73%)Can't Beat History |
1.75/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Can't Beat History 1.75/1, Runner-up in an Irish bumper last spring and also went close in a 19.5f Doncaster handicap hurdle in February. Beaten 24 lengths when fifth on recent Worcester chase debut so needs to leave that behind. Well treated on best hurdles form but was well held on his chase debut 18 days ago. |
|||
(1)  (2/1 +60%)Copper Fox |
2/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Copper Fox 2/1, Fair winner over hurdles. Matched that when second on Stratford chase debut. Hasn't reproduced that since, although a slipped saddle provides an excuse for his latest well-held fourth at Worcester. Being eased another 3 lb can only help. Has not progressed over fences and he's now 1-10 under rules; bit to prove. |
|||
(4)  (2.5/1 -67%)Hapy La Vie |
2.5/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Hapy La Vie 2.5/1, Made frame both starts in Irish points and has left his hurdling form behind over fences, finishing second then first at Hexham at the start of the summer. Raised 6 lb but it's likely he has more to offer in this sphere. Made all at Hexham (3m, good) and he's open to more progress back in trip; big player. |
|||
(2)  (3.2/1 +64%)Harry D'alene |
3.2/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Harry D'alene 3.2/1, Runner-up first 3 starts over hurdles but no impact switched to handicaps since. Switches to fences back from 3 months off. Disappointing in three handicaps over hurdles; needs a transformation on his chase debut. |
|||
(5)  (7.5/1 +53%)Cheer's Delboy |
7.5/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cheer's Delboy 7.5/1, Long-standing maiden. Best effort for a while when second back chasing at Warwick at the end of May but pulled up at Newton Abbot since. First-time visor replaces blinkers. Runner-up at Warwick in May but was pulled up last time and is now 0-28 under rules. |
|||
(7)  (50/1 -25%)Culverwell |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Culverwell 50/1, Dual winning pointer but has achieved nothing under Rules so far, pulling up switched to fences on last month's return from a year off. Can only be watched after that. Pulled up in last three runs and he's a long way out of the weights again; opposable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Hapy La Vie has taken to fences well, finishing runner-up at Hexham on his first start over the larger obstacles before going one better when stepped up to 3m at the same venue. However, he is reluctantly passed over in favour of COPPER FOX, who had excuses at Worcester when the saddle slipped and is taken to get back on track. Can't Beat History should know more after his first chase outing at Worcester at the beginning of the month and can't be ignored.
HAPY LA VIE rather stands out as a progressive sort in this line-up and can make light of a 6 lb rise for Hexham. Copper Fox had an excuse last time and has dipped to 5 lb lower than when second at Stratford at the start of the summer so he's second choice ahead of Master Mead.
This can go to James Ewart's 6yo HAPY LA VIE, who made all at Hexham last time and is open to more progress back in trip.

(2)  (0.83/1 +45%)Ajp Kingdom |
0.83/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ajp Kingdom 0.83/1, Went close in a Ludlow novice back from a 5-month absence in April and odds-on winner of his next 3 starts at up to 23.3f. More on his plate now handicapping but he remains something of an unknown quantity for respected yard that also saddles Oslo. Has won three in a row and he's open to more progress on his handicap debut; big player. |
|||
(5)  (4/1 -33%)Copper Beach |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Copper Beach 4/1, Much improved as he shed his maiden tag in runaway style upped to 20f at Uttoxeter in June. Blunder at the second-last proved costly when runner-up at Aintree next time and may well raise his game another notch now faced with a stiffer test. Win and close second in his last two starts and he's respected at this new trip. |
|||
(7)  (5/1 +29%)Headscarf Lil |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Headscarf Lil 5/1, Returned to form on the back of a breathing op when winning 6-runner handicap here (20.6f, good) in May. Not disgraced in a race that wasn't run to suit back here next time but she looks vulnerable all the same. Won here on her penultimate run and she could be dangerous on this step back up to 2m7f. |
|||
(3)  (11/1 +21%)Clear The Runway |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Clear The Runway 11/1, Highly progressive hurdler/chaser in 2022 but something to prove after 4 disappointing efforts since returning to action. Seven wins in 2022 but not in anything like the same form this year; plenty to prove. |
|||
(1)  (12/1 +0%)Go Chique |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Go Chique 12/1, Bumper winner who gained third hurdles victory back from a break at Bangor (23f, good) in September. Followed that with a solid second over 3m at Doncaster in November but she hasn't shown much in 2 starts since returning from a break last month. Triple hurdle winner but she's struggled in both runs this summer; needs a major revival. |
|||
(4)  (16/1 -14%)Lock's Corner |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lock's Corner 16/1, Ran out a decisive winner at Catterick and Ayr (both at around 2½m) during the winter. More miss than hit since, though, but he's edging back down the weights and will probably turn things around at some point soon. Won twice at the end of 2022 but he's been generally disappointing since; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although this is his first start in handicap company, AJP KINGDOM is hard to oppose having won his last three races in impressive fashion and he is fancied to continue on his upward trajectory. Copper Beach only narrowly failed to back up his facile Uttoxeter victory when second at Aintree and is feared most, while the selection's stable companion Oslo remains unexposed at this level and is fancied to step forward from his recent Bangor comeback.
With this step up in trip expected to help unlock further improvement, COPPER BEACH looks the way to go. He lost little caste in defeat when losing out only to a fellow progressive type at Aintree and this 6-y-o remains on a feasible mark. Oslo is also moving up in trip and is respected on the back of an eye-catching reappearance display at Bangor, while stablemate Ajp Kingdom, who is gunning for the four-timer following a winning spree in uncompetitive novice events, has to be feared, too.
Top of the list is AJP KINGDOM (nap), who has won from the front in his last three starts and is a major player on this handicap debut.

(12)  (4/1 -20%)Diana Prince |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Diana Prince 4/1, Point winner who left previous efforts under Rules behind when scoring comfortably over C&D last time. Likely to step forward again, so capable of following up. C&D win latest came in a quicker time than Spot On Soph's; wouldn't mind good ground. |
|||
(5)  (4/1 +0%)Spot On Soph |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Spot On Soph 4/1, Mixed record over fences/hurdles last season but right back on track to capitalise on a handy mark with something to spare over C&D last time. Should go well again. Up 9lb for easy C&D hurdles win latest (good to soft); wouldn't want a complete dryout. |
|||
(11)  (5.5/1 +78%)Game Beaaa |
5.5/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Game Beaaa 5.5/1, Still a maiden and once again let down by jumping at Southwell latest, but not ruled out if quickly bouncing back off career-low mark. No improvement for sustained return to hold-up tactics; others are more convincing. |
|||
(10)  (7.5/1 +0%)Misty Mani |
7.5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Misty Mani 7.5/1, Rattled off a hat-trick over C&D in September and generally held form well since, albeit only seventh here last time. Not a forlorn hope. 2-2 over C&D (including this race last year), but still higher in the weights at present. |
|||
(6)  (9/1 +73%)Embolden |
9/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Embolden 9/1, Winner of a 2m Plumpton handicap over Easter and mostly respectable efforts since. Failed to beat a rival on the Flat last time but could get back on track returned to this sphere. Has basically held his hurdling form since April win (2m1.5f, soft); poor on Flat latest. |
|||
(7)  (10/1 +0%)Pateen |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pateen 10/1, Resumed winning ways at Hexham (16.2f) in May and has remained in good order since, runner-up at Perth last time. Likely to give another good account. Mostly holding form well since Hexham May win (a fifth over hurdles); readily shortlisted. |
|||
(2)  (12/1 -20%)Lucky Lover Boy |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lucky Lover Boy 12/1, In fine form in 2022, scoring 4 times and posting an excellent second in 2m Newcastle handicap. Shaped as if better for the run on return at Worcester and not disgraced on chasing debut at the same course. Deserves respect back over the smaller obstacles. May have needed both starts this summer; purple patch started about this time last year. |
|||
(3)  (12/1 +45%)Genever Dragon |
12/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Genever Dragon 12/1, Ended long losing run at Kelso (18f) in September and signed off last term with a good second at Sedgefield (19.8f) later that month. Did best of those ridden close up when third on return at Stratford but disappointed at Worcester since. Trip and good ground fine, and generally consistent enough to warrant place consideration. |

(14)  (12/1 +57%)Prospect House |
12/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Prospect House 12/1, Bettered previous form when second at this track in May but hasn't built on it since. Step back up in trip could help. Second here in May (about 2m1f); not gone on since, but might appreciate tonight's trip. |

(8)  (20/1 +0%)Magna Moralia |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Magna Moralia 20/1, Fair winner on the Flat last April when trained by John Quinn. On a handy mark over hurdles but underlined his inconsistency when only fifth here last time. Visored for the first time. Two seconds at around 2m4f here this summer; likely needs to find a bit more in the visor. |

(1)  (25/1 -79%)Due Reward |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Due Reward 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at best but seemingly not the force of old. Remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles helps. Refused to settle last twice, so some risks, but thrown in on peak Irish hurdles form. |

(4)  (28/1 -27%)Baikal |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Baikal 28/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Left hurdle debut behind when springing a 25/1 surprise in 2m Worcester maiden in May. Yet to build on that and was well held on the Flat last time, so others make more appeal. 25-1 Worcester maiden winner in May (2m, good) but hasn't kicked on since; handicap debut. |
|||
(9)  (28/1 -460%)Sehayli |
28/1(-460%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sehayli 28/1, Modest handicap hurdler, completed hat-trick in 2020/21 for Johnny Farrelly. Lightly raced and no form since (trained in 2021/22 by Richard Hawker), pulled up here last time. Offered little on recent return from 13 months out; overlooked despite smart connections. |
|||
(13)  (100/1 -100%)High Yield |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) High Yield 100/1, Didn't show much in bumpers and hasn't fared much better over hurdles, pulling up in 3 handicaps. Hard to make any sort of case for. Yet to complete any of his three handicap starts; drop back in trip isn't persuasive.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A wind operation appears to have done the trick with DIANA PRINCE, who was a most impressive winner over C&D just under a fortnight ago and although 9lb higher this time around, she's fancied to make it two on the spin. Spot On Soph was successful in the other division of the race the selection won and must enter calculations after receiving the same rise. Last year's winning combination of Misty Mani and Luke Scott team up again and Peter Niven's mare is worth a check in the betting for any support.
DIANA PRINCE improved markedly for the switch to handicaps when scoring in taking fashion over C&D last time and this point winner has the scope for further progress, so she's preferred to Spot On Soph, who also tasted success here last time. Pateen also merits consideration.
Each winners of a division of a C&D 0-100 here last time, the less exposed hurdler DIANA PRINCE is preferred to Spot On Soph.

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.
