1st (1)  (10/1 -122%)Highland Hunter |
10/1(-122%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Highland Hunter 10/1, Thorough stayer who made encouraging return from 21 months off when second on yard debut at Kelso in October. Creditable effort when a staying-on fourth in the Grand National Trial at Haydock last time and he's respected. Did well to hang around in Haydock's 3m4f National Trial; that was a hard race 14 days ago. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/4 +75%)Fortescue |
9/4(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fortescue 9/4, Still capable of useful form at this best but increasingly temperamental nowadays and turned in another moody performance when down the field at Sandown last month. Cobden on board for the first time but others make more appeal. Has got himself back to a good mark; excuses last time and stable is going well. |
|||
3rd (3)  (13/2 -30%)Omar Maretti |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Omar Maretti 13/2, Landed a gamble when capitalising on a further drop in the weights at Catterick (25.2f, soft) 19 days ago. Little in the way of opposition there, however, and others make greater appeal in a deeper contest. Made it 4-4 at Catterick last time, albeit at the expense of just one other finisher. |
|||
4th (9)  (2/1 +47%)Copperhead |
2/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Copperhead 2/1, Hasn't really looked like winning a race since his fine novice campaign way back in 2019/20 but efforts in defeat this season have been largely solid, most recently when third of 9 in handicap chase at Sandown (24.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Player receiving weight all round. Long time since he won but he's been running well of late against younger opposition. |
|||
5th (5)  (12/1 -20%)Musical Slave |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Musical Slave 12/1, Decent second on return at Wincanton and after a lesser effort, stepped back in the right direction at Ludlow last time. Jumping still can prove an issue, but remains one to note back from break on mark 2 lb lower than when winning similar event at Exeter last season Respectable runs on either side of a heavy defeat on Cheltenham's cross-country course. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (13/2 +35%)Commodore |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Commodore 13/2, Useful front-runner at his best but seemed hard to catch right last season, albeit stopping the slide to some extent when fifth here on his foray into veterans company when last seen. Has a good record fresh, so worth market check after 11 months off. Best run last season was on reappearance and he does to go well when fresh. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (18/1 +28%)Amateur |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Amateur 18/1, Added to his good Ffos Las record with a win in May. Pulled up having been ridden aggressively in the Welsh National last time and this looks a more realistic assignment. Strong stayer on a handy mark; feasible that he might return to form after wind surgery. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
OMAR MARETTI was an impressive winner over 3m1f at Catterick last month and the 10-year-old is hard to oppose off just a 3lb higher mark. Fortescue failed to fire on good ground at Sandown last time, but is on a workable mark if this return to a softer surface brings about any improvement. Others to note are Commodore, Secret Reprieve and Highland Hunter.
MUSICAL SLAVE's frailties have long been documented but he scored in similar company from a higher mark at Exeter last year and he may be worth chancing after a mildly more encouraging display at Ludlow last time. Copperhead has been holding his form well from this kind of mark this season and can give another good account, whilst out-and-out stayer Highland Hunter is also respected having been keeping better company for most of the season.
Copperhead deserves a break but Henry Daly's FORTESCUE (nap) is temptingly handicapped and there were excuses last time out.

1st (8)  (17/2 +15%)Heltenham |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Heltenham 17/2, Improved markedly for the switch to chasing last season, completing the hat-trick at this C&D in March. Hurdles winner at Wetherby on return and encouragement in both of his chase starts since, rallying well for second at Kempton (20.5f) a week ago. Merits consideration. Something approaching his best form when a rallying second last week at Kempton. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/2 -13%)Kandoo Kid |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kandoo Kid 9/2, Made it third time lucky over fences at this C&D in December and ran well when second of 4 in Grade 2 novice at Ascot (18.8f) later the same month. Ran poorly at Doncaster (3m) on his latest outing, but no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this venue. Plenty to like if turning a blind eye to last run which was in a strong 3m handicap. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/1 +31%)Gustavian |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Gustavian 11/1, Sole win from 14 starts over fences was registered in a 3-runner Exeter handicap (24.3f) a year ago. Largely respectable efforts this season, but after a run over hurdles he unseated at the second back over fences at Kempton a week ago. Others preferred. Unseated last week; even with a trouble-free round this tougher than he's accustomed to. |
|||
4th (3)  (8/1 +20%)Sir Psycho |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Sir Psycho 8/1, Back over fences, made his first start since leaving Paul Nicholls a winning one in novice handicap at Ascot (18.8f) on his return (form worked out well). Ran to similar level when runner-up at Exeter, before departing at the first 36 days ago. Can give a good account back up in trip. Impressed at Ascot but came up short in a small field at Exeter and went up 2lb. |
|||
5th (5)  (12/1 -71%)Gemirande |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gemirande 12/1, Gained his second win of 2022/23 at Wetherby (19.4f) in February before only narrowly denied in last year's renewal of this event. Second past the post at Cheltenham in April (demoted for causing interference) and has been absent since, though he has gone well fresh in the past. Lacks a recent run but he went close to winning this last year off just 2lb lower. |
|||
6th (4)  (9/2 +44%)Bill Baxter |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bill Baxter 9/2, Had a fine first campaign over fences in 2022/23, gaining fourth success when gamely landing Topham Chase at Aintree (21.1f). Is in better heart than this season's figures suggest, making most until ninth (mistake next) when mid-division at Cheltenham in January. Not discounted. Fair mark and a bad mistake was the start of his capitulation back over 2m4f at Cheltenham. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (8/1 -78%)Grandeur D'ame |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Grandeur D'ame 8/1, After 6 months off, resumed his progress with a wide-margin success at Wetherby (19.4f) in November, jumping superbly. Not discredited when fourth in December Gold Cup at Cheltenham next time, before unseating at the first on his latest outing. Not taken lightly. Season was going well before departing early at Cheltenham; should have more to offer. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (8/1 -7%)Jetoile |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jetoile 8/1, Ended last season on the up, landing back-to-back handicaps at Chepstow before making a winning return in Old Roan Chase at Aintree. After another 3 months off, shaped well when fourth at Cheltenham (20.6f) last time and he can take a step forward from that run. Major player. Remote fourth at Cheltenham latest and looks vulnerable with top weight. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (9/2 +18%)Highstakesplayer |
9/2(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Highstakesplayer 9/2, Took a step forward when winning both starts switched to chasing last season and, after a 15-month absence, picked up where he left off when completing the hat-trick in handicap at Kempton (3m) 22 days ago. Can go well again as he bids to extend his unbeaten record over fences. Made it 3-3 when winning after an absence over 3m at Kempton; needs to hold his form. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
JETOILE was far from disgraced in a valuable event at Cheltenham last time and he is only 3lb higher than when winning the Old Roan at Aintree earlier in the season. A reproduction of either of those efforts here would give him a big chance in this company. Heltenham has to be of some interest following his narrow defeat at Kempton a week ago, while the progressive Highstakesplayer and Kandoo Kid are others to consider.
After a further 3 months off, JETOILE wasn't able to land the 4-timer but he travelled well for a long way when fourth at Cheltenham in January, so he is taken to build on that outing to resume winning ways. Heading the list of dangers is Grandeur d'Ame, who is worth another chance after an early exit last time, while Heltenham again looked on a good mark when runner-up a week ago.
Grandeur D'Ame and Kandoo Kid are feared but Kempton winner HIGHSTAKESPLAYER could well go in again if holding his form.

1st (6)  (13/2 +54%)Bucephalus |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bucephalus 13/2, Fairly useful 1¼m Flat winner who finished out of the frame for the first time in six starts over hurdles when eighth at Fontwell 17 days ago. Tongue tied added and the sort to bounce back. Went to nothing on heavy going 17 days ago; tongue-tie and 7lb claimer are enlisted. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/1 -100%)All Authorized |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) All Authorized 7/1, Debut bumper winner who has been brought along steadily over hurdles, patiently ridden when fourth of 5 in novice at Sandown (16f, soft) 16 days ago. More to offer now going into handicaps for good yard. Back to form on latest start; makes handicap debut and may well have more to offer. |
|||
3rd (3)  (25/1 -400%)Tommie Gun |
25/1(-400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tommie Gun 25/1, Made a successful debut over hurdles in 2m novice at Southwell in December but well below par at Leicester and Southwell since. Needs to bounce back now venturing into handicap company. Won hurdling debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but downhill on both outings since. |
|||
4th (2)  (4/1 +60%)Toonagh Warrior |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Toonagh Warrior 4/1, Has started well over hurdles for his current yard, scoring at Wetherby and creditable sixth in a Sandown handicap last time. Considered. 2m4f seems to explain a lesser show on latest start; stable has been in red-hot form. |
|||
5th (7)  (7/1 -56%)Jack's A Legend |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jack's A Legend 7/1, Off 10 months before getting off the mark in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) 95 days ago. Weighted to go well again after a break. Only four ran when he won by a street in November (2m, heavy) but he's on the shortlist. |
|||
6th (9)  (10/1 +44%)Mountain Pass |
10/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mountain Pass 10/1, Kingston Hill gelding who displayed some promise initially in trio of maiden/novice hurdles at around 2m during second half of last year. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping up in trip and interesting if the market speaks in his favour. Soft or heavy ground would be a concern but market may guide for this handicap newcomer. |
|||
7th (4)  (7/4 +22%)Florencethemachine |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Florencethemachine 7/4, Successful in Irish points and confirmed previous hurdling promise when landing 2m novice at Exeter last month. Open to further improvement on her handicap bow. Player. Room for improvement in her jumping; won at 8-11 in Exeter maiden latest; could progress. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (18/1 -50%)Brave Jen |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brave Jen 18/1, Improved when narrowly denied in C&D listed event in December but below that level when third in novice at Wincanton (21.4f, soft) 30 days ago. Worth another chance now going into handicaps. Easily best effort was C&D second; 19l loss when the form choice was disconcerting latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FLORENCETHEMACHINE put in a career best when getting off the mark under Rules at Exeter last time and that form suggests that an opening mark of 111 should be workable for Paul Nicholls' mare. Jack's A Legend had plenty in hand when scoring at Southwell on his most recent outing in November and has to be considered off just a 7lb higher rating, while Toonagh Warrior should appreciate the drop in trip.
A fair bit of potential on show here, not least Gary Moore's ALL AUTHORIZED who appeals as a likely improver now pitched into a handicap for the first time. Fellow debutante in this sphere Florencethemachine rates a big threat though, while Jack's A Legend figures on a handy-looking mark and must enter calculations along with Toonagh Warrior and Bucephalus.
Toonagh Warrior and Jack's A Legend are highly respected. However, ALL AUTHORIZED, for one, may be about to take a step forward.

1st (7)  (2/1 +50%)Spring Note |
2/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Spring Note 2/1, Bumper winner who doubled her hurdles tally over C&D just after Christmas, proving well suited by the drop back in trip (ran over 3m on reappearance) and clear before 2 out. 13 lb higher mark to contend with but further progress would come as no surprise. Up 13lb for latest stroll here but difficult to gauge where her limitations lie. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/8 +39%)Brentford Hope |
11/8(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brentford Hope 11/8, Bordering on smart on the Flat and easily bagged a third success over hurdles for current yard in C&D handicap in November. Posted another good effort when third in the Gerry Feilden over C&D in December and should have a big say here. C&D winner; coped well with an 11lb rise when third in the Gerry Feilden here. |
|||
3rd (6)  (8/1 -60%)Shared |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Shared 8/1, Took well to hurdling for this yard last season and improved again to win 2m Chepstow handicap on reappearance in October. Off again since but evidently capable when fresh. One of 2 solid contenders for the Harry Derham yard. First run since winning at Chepstow in October but that was after a similar break. |
|||
4th (3)  (12/1 +64%)West To The Bridge |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) West To The Bridge 12/1, Better than ever when winning Sandown handicap last spring and good second on Uttoxeter reappearance in October. Given time after a fall at Newton Abbot later that month and he looked rusty on his return action at Kempton last weekend. Multiple winner but it's been over three years since he last competed at 2m. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 +9%)Punctuation |
5/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Punctuation 5/1, Most progressive since joining this yard and equipped with a tongue tie, rounding off last season with success at Aintree in April. Made a winning return on the Flat at York before shaping better than the result in handicap hurdles at Cheltenham and Doncaster this winter. Respected. Aintree winner last April; good reason to believe he can improve on this season's form. |
|||
6th (4)  (25/1 -108%)Perseus Way |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Perseus Way 25/1, Dual winner on the Flat who quickly developed into a useful juvenile hurdler for Gary Moore last season. Recorded 2 good placed efforts on AW Flat for Owen Burrows in the autumn and respected back hurdling after another change of stable. Good juvenile last season for Gary Moore; reliable and respected on stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Spring Note is bound to be popular after an easy success over C&D in December, but the form of her stable is a worry and a 13lb rise is bound to make life tougher. Preference is for BRENTFORD HOPE, who drops in grade having finished third in a premier handicap over C&D last time out. He wasn't for catching on his penultimate start here and makes plenty of appeal, while Chepstow winner Shared is noted too.
BRENTFORD HOPE did well over C&D towards the end of 2023 and might be able to notch another win back from a 3-month break. Punctuation is in better heart than his 2 form figures this winter might suggest and is feared most ahead of the selection's stablemate Shared.
Spring Note and Brentford Hope are dangers but there could be a big run in PUNCTUATION who loves soft ground.

1st (8)  (4/1 +11%)Knowwhentoholdem |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Knowwhentoholdem 4/1, Improved second in Newton Abbot maiden on final start last season and made a sound start to his handicap career when third of 8 on return at Haydock in December. Backward step at Sandown since but probably worth another chance and booking of Harry Cobden is an obvious plus. Beaten 8l (2m3f, heavy) and 17l (2m4f, soft) in this season's handicaps. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3/1 -50%)Jatiluwih |
3/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jatiluwih 3/1, Lightly-raced since landing a 21f Cheltenham handicap back in November 2021. Generally performed with credit last season and, having shaped as though working his way back to form at Wetherby last month, he's a strong candidate off this career-low mark. Signs that be might be easing himself back into form when finishing closer at Wetherby. |
|||
3rd (2)  (11/4 +45%)Glynn |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Glynn 11/4, Evidently not easy to train but he is talented and was a creditable third off 2 lb higher over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last term. Below par at Ascot since, which was his final run for Nicky Henderson some 12 months ago, but he's not discounted all the same. Tongue strap applied. Won a maiden hurdle for Nicky Henderson but then went 0-7 in handicaps; had a year off. |
|||
4th (7)  (11/2 +61%)Current Mood |
11/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Current Mood 11/2, Three-time winner over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign but there have been few positives to glean from her efforts so far this season. Looks cold as ice at the minute and was beaten early at Taunton 11 days ago. |
|||
5th (6)  (7/1 -40%)Zoffee |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Zoffee 7/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser for Philip Hobbs in 2021 and since shown himself to be a useful stayer on the Flat for Hugo Palmer. However, he was disappointing on debut for this yard back hurdling at Taunton in January and now has a bit to prove. Nearly won last year's Chester Cup on soft; well held on recent belated return to hurdles. |
|||
6th (4)  (8/1 -33%)Fern Hill |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fern Hill 8/1, This mark is a good one judged on his reappearance third (wore first-time tongue strap) in the Chepstow handicap chase won by subsequent Welsh National winner Nassalam. However, pulled up both starts since and it's hard to know what to expect of him now returned to this sphere with blinkers added. Pulled up last twice; reverts to hurdling for first time in 3 years wearing new blinkers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Soaring Glory has been highly tried on occasions and is beginning to look really well treated. Now dropped in class, Jonjo O'Neill's top-weight commands respect. However, with first-time blinkers a possible source of improvement, FERN HILL is worth chancing on these terms. Still unexposed over hurdles, the selection is having his first start in handicap company over timber and is very interesting. Jatiluwih is the pick of the rest.
The 10-y-os JATILUWIH and Glynn can fight this out, with preference for the former off a career-low mark. Knowwhentoholdem is also worth a second look.
In an unconvincing field the door might be open for JATILUWIH after running his best race of this season at Wetherby.

1st (1)  (7/5 +49%)Makin'yourmindup |
7/5(+49%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Makin'yourmindup 7/5, Likeable sort who improved when opening his account in this sphere over C&D 3 weeks ago. Probably fair to say that a couple of his rivals underperformed on that occasion but 3 lb rise is certainly not harsh and he remains unexposed as a chaser. Improved form to win a five-runner handicap over C&D (heavy) three weeks ago; up 3lb. |
|||
2nd (5)  (5/2 +9%)Pulling Stumps |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pulling Stumps 5/2, Progressive hurdler who built on chase bow/return when good second over this C&D in December. In the process of running a big race when falling 2 out at Chepstow and he has to be taken seriously. Running well when he fell latest; has a tempting mark, with improvement still possible. |
|||
3rd (4)  (4/1 +43%)Charles Ritz |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Charles Ritz 4/1, Low-mileage 8-y-o who tasted success over hurdles and improved when opening his chase account following at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) on New Year's Day. Better ground was probably against him at Cheltenham since but others make more appeal here in any case. Won at Exeter (2m3f, heavy) two runs ago; probably on a good mark but tries a new trip. |
|||
|U| (6)  (9/2 -100%)Heaven Smart |
9/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Heaven Smart 9/2, The addition of blinkers and more positive tactics seemingly worked wonders at Kempton (3m, soft) where he landed a 6-runner handicap without breaking sweat. 2 lb 'wrong' at the weights here, despite going up 11 lb for that, but he's dangerous to discount. Up 9lb, plus another 2lb wrong, but breakthrough win at Kempton (3m, soft) was impressive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Makin'yourmindup struck by just over a length over C&D last time and he only has a 3lb higher mark to contend with, so he holds an obvious chance. However, preference is for EGBERT, who has won two of his three starts over fences, including his four-length success at Doncaster in January. He could defy a 4lb rise in first-time blinkers. Of the remainder, Hitching Jacking appeals most after his third on Town Moor.
All six of these can be given a chance and it's HEAVEN SMART who earns the vote. He has much more on his plate than when making all at Kempton last month but it was a striking performance and he could take some pegging back if again ridden positively. Pulling Stumps is just about second choice ahead of Makin'yourmindup and Egbert.

1st (2)  (7/4 +50%)Jasmine Bliss |
7/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jasmine Bliss 7/4, Bought for £50,000 after getting off the mark in Irish points at the third attempt in April and confirmed the promise of her bumper debut when opening her account at Wetherby last time. Unlikely to have reached her limit. Fairly dominant display when making all at Wetherby, beating Wednesday Addams by 2.5l. |

2nd (3)  (4/1 +0%)Geturguccion |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Geturguccion 4/1, Fetched £100,000 after finishing in the money in a couple of maiden points last year. Appealing jumps pedigree (half-sister to dual bumper winner/useful hurdler Saylavee) and very much of interest on Rules debut. Placed in Irish points, beaten by a potentially smart one last time; now hooded. |
|||
3rd (7)  (14/1 -27%)Not Now Nathaniel |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Not Now Nathaniel 14/1, Nathaniel filly. Half-sister to fairly useful 7f winner Thunder Roar. Made ideal start when scoring at Newcastle a month ago and, while this is a much stronger race, she can't be ruled out. No knocking a winning start but this is much stronger than the Newcastle race. |
|||
4th (6)  (7/1 -100%)Wednesday Addams |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Wednesday Addams 7/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in Irish points (Nov 12) and showed plenty when second of 11 to Jasmine Bliss in bumper at Wetherby 49 days ago. Did well under the circumstances that day, so could turn the tables. Gave Jasmine Bliss something to think about at Wetherby and now has a 4lb pull. |
|||
5th (9)  (80/1 -21%)Goddess Afrana |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Goddess Afrana 80/1, Fracas filly. Dam, maiden on Flat (stayed 1½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 19f) Tidal Watch. 1,000euros yearling; newcomer from a yard that operates a very low strike-rate in bumpers. |
|||
6th (4)  (11/4 -83%)Northern Air |
11/4(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Northern Air 11/4, £105,000 purchase after easily landing an Irish maiden point on debut in November. Yard saddled the potentially smart Dysart Enos to win this race 12 months ago and it will be interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting. Bought for £105,000 after Irish point win and there's some substance to that form. |
|||
7th (5)  (50/1 -100%)The Dream Goes On |
50/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Dream Goes On 50/1, Out of a winning hurdler and has hinted at ability in bumpers at Warwick and Newcastle. Likely capable of better but probably more one for the longer term. Debut was okay but beat only one home in an AW bumper two months ago. |
|||
8th (1)  (12/1 +25%)Gone Away Madam |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Gone Away Madam 12/1, Blue Bresil mare who made the perfect start at Uttoxeter in June but underperformed when only fourth at the same course. Off 7 months subsequently but could feature if she's back on track. Uttoxeter winner but only fourth of six when returning there under a penalty. |
|||
9th (8)  (33/1 +34%)Banny Hill Lass |
33/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Banny Hill Lass 33/1, £5,500 3-y-o, Blue Bresil filly. Dam (h124) 2m hurdle winner, also 1½m-13.3f winner on Flat. £5,500 3yo; second foal; amateur ridden for debut and can only be watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Jasmine Bliss had Wednesday Addams (second) behind when justifying favouritism in a first-time tongue-tie at Wetherby in January and she holds a solid chance under a penalty. However, a chance can be taken on point-to-point winner NORTHERN AIR, who changed hands for 105,000 pounds and it would be no surprise to see her make an impact on her debut under Rules for the Fergal O'Brien yard. Not Now Nathaniel isn't out of this either.
GETURGUCCION was a six-figure purchase from points and she's related to a dual bumper winner, so she's worth chancing to make a successful Rules debut. Wednesday Adams and Jasmine Bliss fiilled the first two positions at Wetherby last time and they're likely to be involved once more.
Fergal O'Brien and Paddy Brennan went to £105,000 to secure the services of NORTHERN AIR after she impressed in an Irish point.

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.

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.
