1st (2)  (5/1 -500%)Roadlesstravelled |
5/1(-500%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Roadlesstravelled 5/1, €44,000 3-y-o, £215,000 4-y-o, Lauro gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Kitsilano. Dam (c108), 19f chase winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to very smart hurdler (2m winner) Abbyssial. Easily off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 2023). Most interesting hurdling debutant. Bought for £215,000 soon after easy Irish point win in May 2023; rules debut today. |
|||
2nd (3)  (4/1 +67%)Rumoursareflying |
4/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rumoursareflying 4/1, Fair maiden hurdler who made the frame on 4 occasions last season but remains vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. Made the frame five times over hurdles last season and has each-way claims again today. |
|||
3rd (5)  (40/1 -100%)Washpool |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Washpool 40/1, Runner-up sole start in points and has shown some promise in a bumper/maiden hurdle but is probably one for later on. Made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut last month; one for further down the line. |
|||
4th (10)  (6/4 +50%)Rialannah |
6/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Rialannah 6/4, Bounced back to her hurdling debut form when second of 11 in maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) in March, closing all way to line. Held back by a sloppy round of jumping at Southwell on final outing and sets the standard on her return to action. Second over C&D and at Southwell (2m4f) at end of last season; leading contender today. |
|||
5th (4)  (3/1 +50%)Tineggiori |
3/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tineggiori 3/1, Fair bumper winner who translated all that ability to hurdles when going close in 2m Newcastle maiden on first attempt in February. Disappointed at Hexham the following month but clearly wasn't 100% and worth another chance. Absent since disappointing run in March but went very close on hurdle debut in February. |
|||
6th (9)  (25/1 -56%)Nobody's Perfect |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nobody's Perfect 25/1, Made frame in Irish points and has done the same in 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers, showing modest form. Makes hurdle debut. Showed ability in Irish points/British bumpers but improvement is needed on hurdle debut. |
|||
7th (8)  (100/1 -100%)Sandscape |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sandscape 100/1, Comfortably held in a Hereford bumper on debut 6 months ago. Made low-key bumper debut when well-held fourth at Hereford in March. |
|||
8th (7)  (20/1 -43%)Jacks Wish |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jacks Wish 20/1, Well held in a brace of bumpers and probably more of a long-term project. Safely held in two good-ground bumpers in the spring; makes hurdling debut here. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (80/1 -21%)Chantilly Moon |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Chantilly Moon 80/1, Made frame on first of 2 starts in bumpers but went with no encouragement when pulled up on Sedgefield hurdling debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Pulled up when 80-1 for last month's hurdling debut at Sedgefield. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Jonjo and A J O'Neill have their horses in good form lately and although point-to-point winner ROADLESSTRAVELLED has not been seen since an easy win at Taylorstown in May last year, he could still be up to winning this as he looks to justify his 215,000-pound price tag. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in fine fettle and Jacks Wish could go well at a price, but Tineggiori may be the bigger danger if he brushes up on his hurdling skills.
ROADLESSTRAVELLED was bought for big money after winning his second start in Irish points in ready fashion and starting out over hurdles at a realistic level, he makes plenty of appeal. Rialannah sets the standard on the pick of her form and is feared most ahead of Tineggiori.
Roadlesstravelled easily won an Irish point in spring 2023 but preference is for RIALANNAH, who ended last season in good nick.

1st (1)  (5/2 +29%)Prince Imperial |
5/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Prince Imperial 5/2, Showed improved form on first run since leaving Harriet Dickin when easily winning 9-runner maiden hurdle at Fontwell last month. Just a fair third under a penalty back there 3 weeks ago and cheekpieces are back on. Wide-margin Fontwell winner on last month's stable debut; major player. |
|||
2nd (4)  (5/2 -275%)Lady Jago |
5/2(-275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lady Jago 5/2, Irish point winner who displayed fair form in a trio of bumpers last term and all the rage ahead of her hurdles debut, she looked a good prospect when successful over 21f at Warwick 12 days ago. Should be plenty more to come from her. Ready winner of mares' maiden on recent hurdle debut; could have a lot more to offer. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/2 +0%)J J Moon |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) J J Moon 11/2, Much improved away from soft ground when making third bumper start a winning one at Southwell in May. Dam unraced sister to a fair hurdler and he's up in trip for this debut over obstacles. Improved to win Southwell bumper by over 7l in May; hurdle debut today. |
|||
4th (6)  (150/1 -200%)Raincloud |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Raincloud 150/1, No form in 2024 on Flat and just modest form at best over hurdles, her runner-up effort in a 2m hurdle here recently a lesser race than this. Did not achieve much when remote second here last month; faces a tough assignment. |
|||
5th (5)  (15/8 +66%)Taras Halls |
15/8(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Taras Halls 15/8, Bumper winner for Lucy Wadham but form for this yard was in and out last season, runner-up 3 times along with some lesser efforts. More exposed that these but a player if returning on song. Ended last season with some below-par efforts; good chance here if back in good nick. |
|||
6th (3)  (125/1 -89%)Keepkalmandkarryon |
125/1(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Keepkalmandkarryon 125/1, £40,000 3-y-o, Sholokhov gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Clarendon Street, and half-brother to bumper winner Kalifornia. Dam (c141/h108) 2¼m/2½m chase winner (stayed 2¾m). Tongue tied and held back by inexperience in a bumper in November. Had a breathing op since. Showed his inexperience and was soundly beaten when 20-1 for course bumper last November. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A small but competitive field for this novice hurdle, and one that may fall the way of J J MOON, who impressed when taking a bumper by over seven lengths at Southwell and makes his hurdling bow here. Lady Jago won on her hurdling debut at Warwick and may go off at the head of the market in this field for the Skeltons, leaving Taras Halls as a tentative suggestion for third spot.
LADY JAGO was typically well prepared by her top stable when making a winning hurdles debut in smooth fashion at Warwick 12 days ago and is taken to successfully defy a penalty. Prince Imperial can give it another good go, while bumper-winner J J Moon demands respect.
Last season petered out for TARAS HALLS but he is selected in the hope he has been refreshed by a break.

1st (1)  (4/6 +67%)Court In The Act |
4/6(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Court In The Act 4/6, Bumper winner and quickly translated that ability to hurdles, winning a 2m Kempton maiden last Christmas. Only mid-division in a Sandown handicap final start but it was a warm race and every chance he'll resume his progression this season. Much respected with yard among the winners. Very respectable ninth of 20 in hot novices' handicap at Sandown at end of last season. |
|||
2nd (6)  (17/2 -209%)Bannister |
17/2(-209%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bannister 17/2, Multiple winner for Tom George and back to form for Nick Kent lately, winning a course handicap (18.5f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Raised 5 lb but retains handicapping scope on his best form. Won from off the pace here last month; no guarantees this race will set up as favourably. |
|||
3rd (3)  (8/1 -100%)Diamond Dice |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Diamond Dice 8/1, Won a 2m Ludlow maiden on heavy last winter. Finished narrowly behind Court In The Act when tenth of 20 in Sandown handicap final start. Stable going quite well. Respected on return to action. Maiden winner in February and not beaten far in hot handicap in April. |
|||
4th (8)  (22/1 +12%)Langton Wold |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Langton Wold 22/1, Fair Flat winner who opened his account over hurdles at the third attempt in maiden at Sedgefield (17f) on Boxing Day. Placed in a handicap hurdle/chase subsequently but his recent efforts under both codes have been disappointing. Well beaten on both hurdling starts this summer and recent Flat form is uninspiring. |
|||
5th (5)  (6/1 +40%)Pillar Of Steel |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pillar Of Steel 6/1, A bit hit and miss but very much on a going day when scoring over C&D in July. Only a respectable third at Stratford last time, though. C&D winner in July and both subsequent runs were perfectly respectable; in the mix again. |
|||
6th (4)  (17/2 +6%)Bluegrass |
17/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bluegrass 17/2, Useful on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien earlier in his career but only fair form over hurdles, finally coming good in a Fakenham maiden in March. Disappointed in a handicap at Ayr the following month. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance. Comfortably won Fakenham maiden in March but others here have more potential. |
|||
7th (2)  (50/1 -400%)Fransham |
50/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fransham 50/1, Five-time winner over hurdles but latest success in this sphere was gained back in December 2020 and he ran creditably only once from 4 outings last season. Given a chance by the handicapper but others have less to prove. Off since April and not the force of old but his Kempton second in January offers hope. |
|||
8th (7)  (40/1 -300%)Giselles Defence |
40/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Giselles Defence 40/1, Fairly useful Flat for this yard. Should have scope off this mark over hurdles judged on that ability and he can have a line put through last week's Ludlow handicap debut as his saddle slipped, although there wasn't obviously any confidence behind him in the betting (22/1). Three Flat wins for new stable this year; remains unexposed over hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Pillar Of Steel was a C&D winner as recently as July off 2lb lower, and boasts six wins on the predicted going to his name. The nine-year-old can go well and may follow top-weight COURT IN THE ACT home. The suggestion won a maiden hurdle at Kempton before a second at Ludlow, though his last run at Sandown needs forgiving, albeit in a Class Two handicap. He looks all set for another good season, with Bannister the pick for third.
Low-mileage 5-y-os COURT IN THE ACT and Diamond Dice might be the pair to focus on here, with the former narrowly preferred for a stable which seems to be clicking into gear. Last month's course scorer Bannister may prove best of the rest.
Topweight COURT IN THE ACT (nap) ran with great credit in a hot handicap at the end of last season and still has significant potential.

1st (3)  (15/8 +17%)Queens Venture |
15/8(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Queens Venture 15/8, Westerner filly who was well held on Rules debut in a bumper but positives to glean from subsequent efforts in maiden hurdles, over 2m at Worcester then upped to 20.6f here on latest start in July. Can be expected to improve now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. Displayed promise in two maidens during the summer; up in trip for handicap debut. |
|||
2nd (5)  (40/1 -100%)East Eagle |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) East Eagle 40/1, Showed more than on hurdling debut when fifth of 10 in novice here (20.6f, good to firm) in August. Jumping lacked fluency prior to slipping on home turn at Sedgefield recently and will need to be more sure-footed now pitched into a handicap. Ran quite well here in second of three qualifying races but needs to improve today. |
|||
3rd (1)  (14/1 -40%)Pateen |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pateen 14/1, Successful at Cartmel in May and put a string of low-key efforts firmly behind him when resuming winning ways in a 2½m Perth handicap (good to soft) last month. However, this veteran isn't the easiest to predict nowadays and he ran poorly back at the same course 16 days later. Dual winner this season but very inconsistent; younger rivals look better treated. |
|||
4th (8)  (9/2 +55%)Zuul |
9/2(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Zuul 9/2, Showed improved form when placed in back-to-back 20.6f handicaps here during the summer but he was below par tried in a hood (discarded here) when returning from a break at Perth. Below form last time and now 0-7 over hurdles but was placed twice here in June. |
|||
5th (4)  (6/1 +40%)The Midwife |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Midwife 6/1, Point winner who showed improved form when striking on handicap hurdle debut over 20.6f in February. Has failed to build on that in 5 subsequent starts, though, and others make more appeal. Has not kicked on from 2m4f course win in February but is now 2lb below that mark. |
|||
6th (14)  (13/2 +46%)Ideal De Romay |
13/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Ideal De Romay 13/2, Irish point winner but more miss than under Rules so far and will need to improve if he's to make an impact here. Tailed off over fences last time but previous hurdle form gives him an each-way squeak. |
|||
7th (2)  (11/1 -120%)Shibuya Song |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shibuya Song 11/1, Confirmed promise of effort here in May when opening hurdles account back from a break at Worcester (23f, good). Failed to reproduce that form upped to 24.3f at Southwell 12 days ago but this relatively quick turnaround suggests that all is well and she will be a threat if able to get back on track. Surprise winner when upped to 2m7f last month but not in same form on recent outing. |
|||
8th (11)  (66/1 -230%)Norse Reiver |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Norse Reiver 66/1, Showed little in a brace of bumpers and failed to step up on poor form in novice company when pulled up on recent handicap bow at Perth. In rear throughout and eventually pulled up when 50-1 for recent handicap debut. |
|||
9th (7)  (125/1 -150%)Ask Bob |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ask Bob 125/1, Yet to get his head in front and has offered little in 2 starts joining present yard. Ex-Irish maiden who was soundly beaten on both starts for Andrew Crook in the spring. |
|||
|F| (6)  (9/2 -29%)Western Glen |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Western Glen 9/2, Remains winless following 12 attempts over hurdles but she has been knocking on the door in 3m Perth handicaps of late, again finding just one too good in a 7-runner contest there last time. Solid each-way chance off the same mark. 0-12 over hurdles but placed three times over 3m at Perth in recent weeks. |
|||
10th (13)  (100/1 -100%)Stripe Of Honour |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Stripe Of Honour 100/1, Returned to form from out of the blue when second on 3m Southwell reappearance in May but well beaten on all 4 outings since. Went close at Southwell in May but badly out of form since. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (50/1 0%)You're Kidding Me |
50/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) You're Kidding Me 50/1, Limited impact both starts in Ireland for Enda Bolger and similar story for this yard so far. Hopes pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking a sizeable step forward here. A pulled-up outsider in his first two handicaps; blinkers added today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
QUEENS VENTURE has shown only moderate form so far, though gave the impression this extra distance would bring improvement when staying on well for fourth here in July. Dan Skelton's filly should prove competitive at this level on her handicap debut and a bold bid looks likely. A runner-up over 3m at Perth last time, Western Glen has scope for further progress, while Shibuya Song won with a bit in hand at Worcester on her penultimate start and has claims on that form.
QUEENS VENTURE is in good hands and, with improvement anticipated now switched to handicap company and upped in trip, she is appealing off what looks a very reasonable opening mark. The Dan Skelton-trained filly may have most to fear from Shibuya Song, who appeared to be on the up prior to a below par effort last time. Western Glen is also shortlisted.
There aren't many appealing options in this field but one exception is WESTERN GLEN, who comes here after three good efforts at Perth.

1st (3)  (9/1 -50%)Hidden Depths |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hidden Depths 9/1, Dual-purpose performer who displayed a nice turn of foot when landing 7-runner handicap at Worcester (23f) in July. Resumed winning ways in a small field at Perth 3 weeks ago and comes into the reckoning back down in trip. Two wins this season, the latter a career-best performance at Perth last month. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/2 -11%)Mylesfromwicklow |
5/2(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mylesfromwicklow 5/2, Twice a winner in small field chases last term and running up to best when last seen, third of 12 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) following a wind op in June. Needs considering back from a break. C&D winner in March and placed off this mark over C&D on latest outing in June. |
|||
3rd (4)  (11/10 +56%)The Doyen Chief |
11/10(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) The Doyen Chief 11/10, Winning pointer/bumper performer who landed the odds without any fuss over hurdles at Market Rasen and made it 2 from 4 in that sphere in novice at Taunton when last seen in February. Remains with potential, especially now going chasing (won completed start in Irish points). 2-4 as a novice hurdler last season; switches to fences for handicap debut; interesting. |
|||
4th (5)  (13/2 -63%)Game On For Glory |
13/2(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Game On For Glory 13/2, Bumper/hurdles winner who landed a small-field Ludlow handicap (2½m) in a first-time visor in February. Good placed efforts next 2 starts and can go well again. Creditable second in Grade 2 series final for mares at Cheltenham at end of last season. |
|||
5th (2)  (25/1 -150%)Tiger Orchid |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tiger Orchid 25/1, Enhanced good Worcester record with a win in June. Not so good next 2 starts, however, so bit to prove now. Did well to win at Worcester in June but that seems to be his favourite track. |
|||
6th (6)  (12/1 -60%)Gold Link |
12/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Gold Link 12/1, Opened chase account at Stratford last summer and resumed winning ways over 2½m at Huntingdon a year ago. Ran no sort of race there in January (reported to have an irregular heartbeat) and not seen since. Dual chase winner in early part of last season; absent since pulled up in April. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HIDDEN DEPTHS is an improving chaser and recorded his fourth win over fences with a cosy two-length success at Perth last month. There looks more left in the locker and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this. Mylesfromwicklow should be thereabouts once again, though has something to prove off his current mark after returning a beaten favourite over course and distance, while The Doyen Chief is a dual winner over hurdles and should make his mark over fences this season.
Progressive hurdler THE DOYEN CHIEF should make a chaser given his pointing background so could be up to making a winning start in this sphere. Game On For Glory is next best.
The pick is THE DOYEN CHIEF, who was a promising novice hurdler last season and now switches to fences for his handicap debut.

5/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Filanderer 5/1, Bumper winner who bettered hurdles exploits at the first attempt in this sphere when second in a Wincanton handicap chase in December. Hasn't gone from that since but it's still early days for this 8-y-o as a chaser and he's not without hope. Yet to build upon his quite pleasing chase debut in December but still enters calculations. |
|||
2nd (8)  (4/1 +20%)Lunar Ocean |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lunar Ocean 4/1, Had offered little but responded well to this headgear when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.6f, good) 158 days ago. Interesting sent chasing right away by new trainer. 0-5 over hurdles but was placed over 2m4f here in May; makes stable/chase debut today. |
|||
3rd (5)  (7/2 +61%)Imperial Pride |
7/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Imperial Pride 7/2, Won multiple points but made disappointing return to Rules when sixth of 13 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good, 15/2) in June. Bit to prove now. Triple point winner in the spring; suited by this track; shortlisted. |
|||
4th (7)  (5/1 -11%)Into The Sunset |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Into The Sunset 5/1, Dual hurdles winner in 2022. Missed whole of 2023 and has yet to match his previous best this year, including in 2 starts over fences. Shaped slightly better than the bare result when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (19.6f, good) 39 days ago so not ruled out back chasing. Both chase runs this summer were respectable but he seems steadily to be regressing. |

5th (2)  (13/2 -117%)Copper Beach |
13/2(-117%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Copper Beach 13/2, A fair winning hurdler who was given a considerate introduction to chasing when fourth of 7 in handicap at Sedgefield (21.1f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Entitled to build on that and becoming well treated. Never dangerous on chasing debut but drops in grade here and is very well handicapped. |

6th (1)  (14/1 -40%)Socks Off |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Socks Off 14/1, Won Sedgefield handicap hurdle in January. Not in the best form when last seen in the spring and not an obvious chasing type. Has left Rebecca Menzies, Out of form on Flat/over hurdles in spring 2023; makes stable/chase debut after long break. |

|PU| (6)  (9/1 +18%)Cornamona |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cornamona 9/1, Remote third sole outing in bumpers for Nicky Henderson and this former point winner has failed to pull up any trees in 4 starts over hurdles to date. Needs to raise her game now chasing. Point winner; shaped quite well on recent handicap hurdle debut; makes chase debut today. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (12/1 -33%)Regally Blonde |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Regally Blonde 12/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in Ireland but yet to match that level over hurdles. Makes chase debut. 0-9 over hurdles but ran okay in first-time cheekpieces last month; chase debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
An open contest could go to CORNAMONA. The daughter of Doyen didn't show much over hurdles, but she is bred to appreciate a switch to the larger obstacles and could find the necessary improvement today. Filanderer unseated his rider when last seen in May but has the ability to feature granted a clear round, while Copper Beach is also noted.
COPPER BEACH hasn't been in much form this summer but at least he offered something to work on sent chasing at Sedgefield and he's potentially well treated if building on that. Filanderer is next best ahead of Lunar Ocean.
Chasing debutante Cornamona is of interest but COPPER BEACH has become too well handicapped to resist.

1st (3)  (2/1 +60%)Tilehurst |
2/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tilehurst 2/1, Bated Breath gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 6f winner Rogue Missile. Dam 1m winner. Should have enough speed for this sort of test. 8,500gns yearling; doesn't have the stoutest of pedigrees for bumpers but market can guide. |

2nd (1)  (9/4 +100%)Bohemond Antioch |
9/4(+100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bohemond Antioch 9/4, Nathaniel gelding. Dam 1½m winner. Should be tuned up and is worth a chance to make a winning start. 13,000gns foal; dam 1m4f winner; respected newcomer from yard that wins plenty of bumpers. |

3rd (4)  (10/1 +0%)Playaway Girl |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Playaway Girl 10/1, Didn't show much at Huntingdon last week and will need to have learned plenty from that. 14-1 and was always behind when ninth on good ground at Huntingdon only last week. |

4th (2)  (2/1 -6%)L'air Du Large |
2/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) L'air Du Large 2/1, No Risk At All gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser in France (17f-2¾m winner) Princesse Kap. Of obvious interest on debut. 2nd foal; dam unraced sister to useful French 2m1f-2m6f hurdle/chase winner Princesse Kap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Playaway Girl is the only one of these with previous experience, but she would need to improve on what she showed at Huntingdon on her debut. Bohemond Antioch looks a likely type on paper and must feature prominently in calculations, but Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero have a decent strike-rate in bumpers and L'AIR DU LARGE may enhance that record. Tilehurst should not be underestimated.
BOHEMOND ANTIOCH has a reasonable Flat pedigree and is representing a top northern yard, so he gets the nod ahead of L'Air du Large and Tilehurst, who also make some appeal on paper. The market should be informative, however.
The market will be useful but L'AIR DU LARGE is from a yard with a terrific strike-rate in these races.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
