1st (1)  (2/5 +35%)Brave Knight |
2/5(+35%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Brave Knight 2/5, Fairly useful on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and 2-2 over hurdles for new stable this summer, readily defying a penalty at Stratford (2m, good) 6 weeks ago. Can extend his unbeaten hurdle record to 3. Useful stayer on the Flat and launched hurdlng career with two easy wins this summer. |
|||
2nd (2)  (5/2 +9%)Dodger Long |
5/2(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dodger Long 5/2, Fair in bumpers and won 10-runner juvenile hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) in cosy fashion in March. Went close under a penalty on his Market Rasen reappearance a fortnight ago. Should go well again. Won juvenile hurdle in March and was very close second on recent stable debut; big player. |
|||
3rd (9)  (6/1 -50%)Razzle Dazzle Boy |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Razzle Dazzle Boy 6/1, Promising start to his career, finishing second of 11 in 2m Uttoxeter novice (soft) last month. Good place claims again but whether he can live with Brave Knight remains to be seen. Clear second at Uttoxeter last month and has each-way claims at least here. |
|||
4th (8)  (200/1 -203%)Demilion |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Demilion 200/1, Fairly useful handicapper at best on Flat (stays 12.5f) for Charlie Johnston but ended 2023 out of sorts and fared no better on his hurdle and yard debut in January. Fitted with a first-time tongue tie on his first outing since. Became disappointing on the Flat last year and was tailed off on hurdle debut in January. |
|||
5th (5)  (125/1 -213%)Rubies Or Gold |
125/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rubies Or Gold 125/1, Placed on the second of 2 starts in Irish bumpers (for Mags Mullins) but is probably one for later on in this sphere judged on his efforts in recent weeks. Placed in Irish bumper in May but posed no threat in two recent maiden hurdles. |
|||
6th (7)  (22/1 +33%)Ugo Bingo |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ugo Bingo 22/1, Fair form when winning sole Flat start in France but stopped quickly when pulled up on his Wincanton hurdle debut in January. Off since. Minor Flat winner in France last year but pulled up on stable/hurdle debut in January. |
|||
7th (6)  (200/1 -100%)Too Sharp |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Too Sharp 200/1, Poor form over hurdles, including pulled up on last week's course stable debut after 16 months off. Outsider. Pulled up when 100-1 for recent stable debut here (2m2f). |
|||
8th (3)  (150/1 -200%)Dance Rules |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dance Rules 150/1, Runner-up on his only start in points but down the field in 2 Uttoxeter novice hurdles last month. Razzle Dazzle Boy looks very much the stable first string. Went close on Irish point debut but tailed off in two Uttoxeter hurdles last month. |
|||
9th (10)  (40/1 0%)Umming N' Ahing |
40/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Umming N' Ahing 40/1, Fairly useful sprint handicapper at his best on the Flat but below par in 2024. Stamina a massive question mark now hurdling in a first-time hood. Out-of-form sprinter; stamina a glaring issue on today's hurdling debut. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (66/1 -313%)Master Missile |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Master Missile 66/1, Dartmouth gelding. Dam modest hurdle/chase winner around 2m. Will need to be pretty useful to make a winning start to his career here. First foal from a low-grade hurdle/chase winner; has good standard to reach on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Dodger Long is entitled to build on his second-placed reappearance at Market Rasen earlier this month and he isn't taken lightly. However, BRAVE KNIGHT completed a double at Stratford with some ease last month and a hat-trick looks likely for Paul Nicholls' promising four-year-old. Razzle Dazzle Boy offered more to work with when runner-up at Uttoxeter and he may fare best of the remainder.
BRAVE KNIGHT looks a useful early-season novice and should complete the hat-trick. Dodger Long and Razzle Dazzle Boy can fight it out for the forecast spot.
Paul Nicholls' BRAVE KNIGHT has won both his hurdle races easily and it's very hard to gauge the limit of his ability in this sphere.

1st (3)  (4/1 +11%)Hidalgo De L'isle |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hidalgo De L'isle 4/1, Dual handicap hurdle winner at Bangor (both 16.7f) last year, and probably ran as well as he ever has when a close third at Worcester (2m, good) on first start following a wind op/8-month break in June. Went backwards next time but type to bounce back. Chase debut. Dual hurdle winner; well beaten in competitive in July but an interesting chase candidate. |
|||
2nd (2)  (11/2 -10%)Silent Revolution |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Silent Revolution 11/2, Fairly useful handicap hurdler but record is mixed and little show in 2 starts over fences, including when last seen at Warwick in May. Bit to prove in first-time headgear. Useful hurdler when on song but both previous chasing attempts were very disappointing. |
|||
3rd (4)  (13/8 -8%)Get Sky High |
13/8(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Get Sky High 13/8, Point/bumper winner who missed 17 months after her hurdling debut but confirmed previous promise in this sphere when winning a 2m Warwick maiden. Followed up from the front on handicap bow over same C&D next time but only fourth in hat-trick bid at Stratford. Will make a chaser. Cheekpieces go on. Free-going front-runner; 2-5 over hurdles; Irish point win bodes well for chase prospects. |
|||
|F| (1)  (2/1 -14%)Carrigeen Kampala |
2/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Carrigeen Kampala 2/1, Confirmed the promise of her reappearance when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle (8/1) at this course (18.5f, good) in June but got no further than the third next time. That is not an ideal prep for this chase debut but she's bred to take to it. Has good strike-rate over hurdles (5-9) and could have more to offer over fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Five-time hurdles winner Carrigeen Kampala arrives on the back of a fall at this venue, which tempers enthusiasm for her chase bow. She still warrants respect entering this sphere, but point-to-point winner GET SKY HIGH rates a more solid proposition on her opening bid over fences. Dan Skelton's mare, also successful in a bumper and twice over timber, has the scope to excel at this discipline and she shades the verdict. Hidalgo De L'isle could chase the duo home.
Low-mileage 9-y-o GET SKY HIGH has been in good form over hurdles and should make a chaser given her pointing background, so appeals as the most solid option. Carrigeen Kampala is next best.
Preference is for CARRIGEEN KAMPALA, who gained three of her five hurdling wins here and has a touch of class about her.

1st (1)  (9/4 -50%)Beat Box |
9/4(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Beat Box 9/4, Ended his time for James Ewart out of sorts but justified strong support to capitalise on a reduced mark starting out for this yard at Market Rasen a couple of weeks ago. Had plenty in hand and is fancied to go in again. Readily beat in-form opponent on recent stable debut and remains well handicapped. |
|||
2nd (3)  (16/1 -167%)Mordred |
16/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mordred 16/1, Dual purpose performer who finished a creditable third returning from 16-month absence (had left Milton Harris) at Uttoxeter just over a month ago. Player if he can build on that. Creditable third on last month's stable debut, after a long layoff; shortlisted. |
|||
3rd (5)  (18/5 +40%)Bensini |
18/5(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bensini 18/5, Modest handicap chaser who would have finished second but for a bad mistake at the last at Worcester 10 days ago. Mark still looks feasible and blinkers/tongue tie could have a positive effect. 0-6 over fences but comes here after two good efforts this summer; headgear switched today. |
|||
4th (7)  (10/3 +63%)Go On Ya Goodthing |
10/3(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Go On Ya Goodthing 10/3, Modest maiden hurdler for David Brace but may have more to give now chasing having switched to Fergal O'Brien since last seen in May. Market confidence could prove significant. Not beaten far in latest hurdle race for owner-trainer; now chasing for Fergal O'Brien. |
|||
5th (2)  (5/1 -122%)Tonto Foley |
5/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tonto Foley 5/1, Hurdles winner who has taken well to fences, successful at Taunton (2m, soft) in March. Back to winning ways at Perth last time and would be surprising if there wasn't even more to be unlocked. Just did enough at Perth last month and has now won three chases this year. |
|||
6th (4)  (11/2 +61%)Lelant |
11/2(+61%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lelant 11/2, Fair form without success over hurdles but not so good over fences so far, though latest effort at this course was a respectable one. Not one to write off in this sphere. Didn't run badly over 2m5f here last month but now 0-13 under all codes. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BEAT BOX justified favouritism when making a winning stable debut for Dan Skelton at Market Rasen a fortnight ago. An 8lb higher rating is unlikely to be the ceiling of the eight-year-old's ability and a brace could be on the cards. Go On Ya Goodthing is a potential fly in the ointment on his chase/yard bow for Fergal O'Brien and market support would be interesting. Triple chase winner Tonto Foley is also forecast to feature in his bid to supplement his last-start Perth victory.
BEAT BOX was the subject of heavy support prior to his successful stable debut at Market Rasen and he's well fancied to follow up at the likely expense of Tonto Foley, who is still going the right way. Bensini could take a hand if the blinkers/tongue tie have a positive effect. Market support for Go On Ya Goodthing would have to be taken seriously.
Still well treated off his new mark, BEAT BOX (nap) did not need to be asked for maximum effort to make a winning stable debut.

1st (4)  (13/8 -8%)Lallygag |
13/8(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Lallygag 13/8, Still going as well as any when running out at the third last here in June and well served by drop back in trip coupled with first-time cheekpieces when successful at Worcester last month. Lot to like up 5 lb. Gained hard-fought win from the front at Worcester last month; useful 3lb claimer booked. |
|||
2nd (1)  (4/1 -100%)Tommie Beau |
4/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tommie Beau 4/1, Really likeable, durable stayer who won over both sets of obstacles at Cartmel in May and coped really well with another quick turnaround when scoring over fences back there on Monday. Same mark here returned to timber and he's a danger to all. In career-best form when twice running well at Cartmel over recent bank holiday weekend. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/2 +8%)Clearance |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Clearance 11/2, Smooth-traveller who added to his terrific course record when scoring cosily over 2m in June. Race wasn't run to suit here last week and lot depends on whether he lasts out over this new trip. Six-time course winner; just a respectable third here last week; tries a new trip today. |
|||
4th (6)  (14/1 -17%)Hell Red |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hell Red 14/1, Enjoyed a highly-productive spell in small-field novice events over fences in summer of 2022 before winning yet another match the following April. Pulled up a year ago and off since having left Paul Nicholls. Won a small-field point in the spring but his current hurdling ability is tricky to gauge. |
|||
5th (5)  (5/2 +72%)Way Out |
5/2(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Way Out 5/2, Three-time winner over hurdles who initially upped his game switched to fences, second in beginners' event at Warwick in May. Last month's hurdles effort suggests he's high-enough in the weights. Didn't fire when back over hurdles last time but on a good mark if all goes to plan here. |
|||
6th (2)  (18/1 -29%)Tronador |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tronador 18/1, Hasn't had much racing for this yard and was back to best when scoring at Plumpton in May. Never a factor in a staying handicap back on the level but better expected returned to hurdling. Won on stable debut in May but recent Flat/hurdle form has been very disappointing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Tommie Beau has been in good form over both hurdles and fences, but faces a stiff test as he drops in trip and runs off 10lb higher than his most recent success in this discipline. With that in mind, LALLYGAG makes more appeal. Paul Nicholls' seven-year-old kept on well to score over 2m4f at Worcester most recently, making amends for running out when travelling well here prior to that. Hell Red and Clearance complete the shortlist.
First-time cheekpieces helped LALLYGAG regain the winning thread at Worcester last month and a subsequent 5 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Tommie Beau is about as hardy as they come and he won't go down without a fight back over hurdles, with Clearance another to consider up in trip.
With useful 3lb claimer Freddie Gingell enlisted, LALLYGAG might overcome a 5lb rise for last month's hard-fought Worcester win.

1st (6)  (7/2 +22%)Kauto The King |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kauto The King 7/2, Four-time course winner and has found just one too good on his last 2 visits here, latterly in a C&D handicap 9 days ago (Begin The Luck back in third). Will have his work cut out against progressive 6-y-o Get Up Mush but may well beat the rest of these if he repeats his latest effort. Not the force of old but runs this track very well and probably won't be far way. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/1 +0%)Bagheera Ginge |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bagheera Ginge 10/1, Opened chase account when proving 3¼ lengths too strong for Opening Bid off this mark at Warwick in October. Creditable efforts in defeat next 2 starts but form has taken a turn for the worse since (pulled up in race won by Get Up Mush at Uttoxeter last month) and he needs to bounce back. Won off this mark in October but has looked out of sorts lately. |
|||
3rd (1)  (9/1 +10%)Opening Bid |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Opening Bid 9/1, Won 5 times over fences in 2023, including twice here, and returned to form when twice reaching the frame at Uttoxeter in the June. However, form has nosedived the last twice and there are more appealing options in this line-up. Good claims if judged on his two runs in June but form has slumped lately. |
|||
4th (3)  (5/4 -14%)Get Up Mush |
5/4(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Get Up Mush 5/4, Looked a good prospect when getting the better of Opening Bid on return/chase debut at Uttoxeter (21f, good) in June. Soft ground against him when turned over next time and duly got back on track when dead-heating (subsequently awarded the race outright), again at Uttoxeter, last time. Big player. 2-3 over fences and could still have significant further improvement to come; respected. |
|||
5th (7)  (5/1 +17%)Begin The Luck |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Begin The Luck 5/1, Solid efforts in defeat when runner-up at Stratford and over this C&D in June before finishing well held in a Uttoxeter handicap won by Get Up Mush. Back on track when third back here recently, albeit he has 3½ lengths to find with the re-opposing runner-up, Kauto The King. Not quite at best when third over C&D recently but still enters calculations. |
|||
6th (5)  (28/1 -211%)Lakota Warrior |
28/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lakota Warrior 28/1, Fairly useful chaser for Dan Skelton in 2022 and in good form between the flags in recent months, successful on 3 of his last 4 starts in that sphere. Pulled up in a hunter chase at Wincanton on latest Rules start in February, though, and he has a bit to prove back in a handicap chase. Won three small-field points in the spring but has a lot more on his plate here. |
|||
7th (2)  (14/1 -56%)Champagne Court |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Champagne Court 14/1, Last victory was gained over hurdles at Newbury in 2022 and he has posted some creditable efforts in defeat in this sphere since. On the downside, this 11-y-o shaped as though amiss tried in blinkers in a Uttoxeter handicap hurdle last time and cheekpieces swiftly refitted now back chasing. Pulled up over hurdles last month (something amiss) but can feature here if all is well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GET UP MUSH has made good progress since undergoing wind surgery and switching to fences, and assuming he transfers the sort of form that has seen him win two of his three recent starts at Uttoxeter to this venue, another bold showing is likely off a mark that remains competitive. Kauto The King was a respectable second over C&D last week and can go well again if building on that. Begin The Luck wasn't far behind him in third that day and is dangerous to underestimate.
This is best left to GET UP MUSH, who is 2-3 over fences and a 3 lb rise for his latest success at Uttoxeter almost certainly underestimates him. Kauto The King and Begin The Luck were second and third respectively over C&D recently and are taken to fill the places once again.
It's hard to get away from low-mileage 6yo GET UP MUSH who did very well to win at Uttoxeter last month and is only 3lb higher here.

1st (11)  (7/1 +22%)Daany |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Daany 7/1, Irresolute performer who finished second on the level at Ffos Las on Friday. Scored at Uttoxeter when last seen over hurdles in July but others are still preferred. Hurdle/Flat winner in July; second in 1m classfied at Ffos Las (heavy) on Flat yesterday. |
|||
2nd (4)  (14/1 -211%)United Front |
14/1(-211%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) United Front 14/1, Fairly useful 10f Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien. Below-par fifth of 11 in novice hurdle (11/4) at Perth (16.2f, good) 14 days ago. Not discounted now going into handicaps though. Not beaten far on any of three hurdling starts; Flat ability offers hope he can do better. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/1 -50%)Pak Army |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pak Army 9/1, C&D winner who arrives on the back of a good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (2m3f) 48 days ago. Free-going sort who holds very good claims back in trip. Emphatic Flat winner in May and also ran well when back over hurdles last month. |
|||
4th (14)  (16/1 +43%)Breccia |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Breccia 16/1, A fair winner at 17f on Flat who ran with credit after 9 months off when fourth in 13f handicap at Lingfield last time. Lightly raced in this sphere so needs considering on her handicap bow. 6lb wrong for this handicap hurdle debut but we know from the Flat that she has ability. |
|||
5th (5)  (5/6 +79%)Zhang Fei |
5/6(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Zhang Fei 5/6, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Comes here in good nick from the Flat so needs considering off a handy-looking mark. Won unchallenged from the front over C&D last month; 10lb higher now; still respected. |
|||
6th (2)  (16/1 -256%)Polling Day |
16/1(-256%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Polling Day 16/1, Fairly useful winner at 12f on Flat and posted a good third of 11 in novice hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good) 14 days ago. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Placed in two maiden hurdles this summer and probably has more to offer in handicaps. |
|||
7th (6)  (14/1 -115%)Omaha Wish |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Omaha Wish 14/1, A fair 2m chase winner who fell 7th in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Can't be ruled out now switching to hurdles. Won a chase off today's mark in June and makes appeal on return to hurdling. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (6/1 +33%)Good Impression |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Good Impression 6/1, C&D winner who recorded a creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle here (18.5f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Won this in 2023 and was placed twice over 2m2f last month; likely contender again. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (66/1 -200%)Silver Chord |
66/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Silver Chord 66/1, Poor form in her qualifying runs but handicaps do provide her with a more realistic chance. Showed tiny glimmer of promise in C&D novice in May; makes handicap debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ZHANG FEI has been kept ticking over with a couple of respectable efforts on the Flat since his wide-margin success over C&D last month and is readily suggested as the one to be with, despite the handicapper putting him up 10lb for that easy win. This is a deeper race, however, and closely-matched pair Good Impression and Coup De Gold, as well as Polling Day, can make it a good test for the selection. Afta Party also knows how to win over hurdles and is another to consider.
PAK ARMY shaped well when third over 19f at Fontwell last time and this keen-going C&D scorer can resume winning ways now back in trip. Zhang Fei remains unexposed in this sphere and arrives fit from the Flat so rates a big threat. In-form pair Coup de Gold and Polling Day also need factoring into this open handicap.
Usefl Flat racer POLLING DAY can build upon his placed form in maiden hurdles on this handicap hurdle debut.
