1st (6)  (9/4 -147%)Shakeyatailfeather |
9/4(-147%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Shakeyatailfeather 9/4, Made the frame first 3 completed starts over hurdles and ran creditably on handicap debut when sixth at Kelso back in May, though her finishing effort arguably didn't match the way she travelled. Back in a maiden and holds leading claims provided she's ready to roll. Fair form over 2m in the spring; has strong claims here if suited by the step up in trip. |
|||
2nd (1)  (4/5 +64%)Tribal Glory |
4/5(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tribal Glory 4/5, Successful sole outing in points and confirmed the promise of his Rules debut when winning 7-runner bumper at Worcester (2m good to soft) in August 2023. Shaped encouragingly sent hurdling when runner-up at this track (18.5f, good) on return last month and he's open to improvement. Bumper winner; good start to hurdling career when close/clear second here (2m2f) in August. |
|||
3rd (5)  (100/1 -52%)Cheeky Lady |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cheeky Lady 100/1, Unpromising in points (pulled up last 3 starts) and shaped accordingly sent hurdling when well held at this track (18.5f, good) last month. Had dismal record in points and showed only a tiny glimmer of promise on rules debut. |
|||
4th (3)  (4/1 -45%)Authoceltic |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Authoceltic 4/1, Authorized colt who made a promising start when third in Exeter juvenile hurdle last November. Failed to back that up in France but more like it this summer, just unable to go quick enough to draw the sting out of a talented Flat performer at Worcester (16f, good) 3 months ago. In the mix. Not beaten far when sixth on handicap debut here in June; clear second in maiden next time. |
|||
5th (4)  (100/1 -52%)Astro Babe |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Astro Babe 100/1, Half-sister to 3 winners but beat only one home in 2 bumpers in 2022 and little to get excited by over hurdles the following spring. Showed nothing tried hooded on her first outing since leaving Evan Williams after 14 months off at Uttoxeter in July so can only be watched. Third in weak maiden in spring 2023; well beaten when back in action in July. |
|||
6th (2)  (40/1 -60%)Whatchagotder |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Whatchagotder 40/1, Maiden pointer, fourth last time (Jun 8). Lots more needed on Rules debut. Second in three maiden points in the spring but best watched on this rules debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TRIBAL GLORY made a pleasing start to life over hurdles when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 2m2f here last month and, with progress likely now upped in trip, Fergal O'Brien's six-year-old is fancied to go one better. Shakeyatailfeather was far from disgraced in a warm class 2 handicap at Kelso in May and she's of clear interest back in maiden company. Authoceltic is most appealing of the remainder.
TRIBAL GLORY shaped encouragingly sent hurdling after a full year off when finding just one too strong here last month and, with further improvement on the cards, Fergal O'Brien's 6-y-o is fancied to go one better at the expense of the returning Shakeyatailfeather, who sets the standard on her runner-up efforts back in the spring. Authoceltic can fill out third.
Tribal Glory is respected but SHAKEYATAILFEATHER ran well in a competitive handicap in the spring and her form is more persuasive.

1st (7)  (4/1 -60%)Kitty Foyle |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kitty Foyle 4/1, Fairly useful stayer on the Flat and notched second success in that sphere at Goodwood (1¾m, soft) last time. Could have a big part to play if her jumping passes the test on this hurdles debut. Won Class 4 Flat handicap last month; a danger to all if she takes adequately to hurdling. |
|||
2nd (9)  (5/1 +17%)Leloopa |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Leloopa 5/1, Just minor promise at best in 4 bumpers outings for James Barcoe in Ireland and failed to measure up to market expectations (sent off the 11/10 favourite) when fourth on hurdles debut at Worcester. Now tried in a tongue strap. Only fourth when warm favourite for stable/hurdle debut but can do better. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/5 +42%)Asian Star |
4/5(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Asian Star 4/5, Shaped well when fifth in a big-field Cheltenham bumper on Rules debut in April. Failed to deliver when odds on at Southwell the following month but that effort now looks a lot better than it did at the time (the winner has gone in again 5 times since, including in a listed hurdle last time). Makes hurdling debut after two very promising bumper runs in the spring; big player. |
|||
4th (5)  (18/1 +10%)Versace Twentyone |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Versace Twentyone 18/1, Maiden pointer who defied odds of 20/1 to make a successful Rules debut for Gordon Elliott in a Roscommon bumper in July. Failed to back that up starting out for new yard at Worcester last month, though, and needs to raise her game now switched to hurdles. Won Irish point in July and was place in Worcester bumper for new stable last month. |
|||
5th (10)  (8/1 +0%)Pure Gold |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pure Gold 8/1, Fair at best on the Flat. Stopped the slide at Lingfield in July and has taken steps forward in this sphere on her last 2 starts, latterly finding just one too good at Worcester where she had Leloopa and Keppel Queen behind. Live each-way shout. Fair Flat racer; placed on last two of four hurdling starts; holds each-way claims again. |
|||
6th (8)  (33/1 -32%)Lady Henrietta |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lady Henrietta 33/1, Appeared to take a step forward when runner-up in a Stratford bumper in July but it would be something of an understatement to say that she's failed to build on that switched to hurdles the last twice. Ran okay in first-time hood on Monday but others here look stronger. |
|||
7th (2)  (33/1 -32%)A Little Something |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) A Little Something 33/1, Offered little in 3 points but there were positives to glean from her Rules debut third in a 9-runner Stratford bumper (16.3f, good) in July. Should have a future over obstacles, albeit more time and distance may well be needed. Well-held third in modest bumper on rules debut in July; significant improvement required. |
|||
|U| (4)  (50/1 -52%)Keppel Queen |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Keppel Queen 50/1, There were positives to glean from her debut effort in a Uttoxeter bumper but subsequent display over hurdles left much to be desired. Now tried in cheekpieces. Made quite promising bumper debut in July but well held over hurdles since. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (200/1 -100%)Diamond Dusty |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Diamond Dusty 200/1, Half-sister to 3 winners but she showed little spark in a couple of bumpers during the spring. Not beaten that far in course bumper in May but can only be watched on hurdling debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The form of ASIAN STAR's third in a Southwell bumper has worked out well and while she didn't live up to market expectations that day, this looks a good opportunity to make a successful beginning to life over timber. Hard As Nails must shoulder a penalty having won at Southwell in May. She has remained in good form since, though, and will again be aided by Jack Hogan's 3lb claim. Others to note include A Little Something and Pure Gold.
ASIAN STAR showed plenty of promise in a couple of bumpers during the spring and is taken to make a winning start over hurdles. Next on the list is Kitty Foyle, who arrives here on the back of a win on the Flat at Goodwood, while Hard As Nails should be in the mix and Pure Gold is another with possibilities.
Flat winner Kitty Foyle is respected but preference is for ASIAN STAR, who looked promising in two bumpers in the spring.

1st (1)  (2/1 +20%)Glynn |
2/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Glynn 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Nicky Henderson and clearly getting the hang of chasing now, winning over C&D and Stratford 5 days apart last 2 starts. Should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Recorded convincing wins over C&D and at Stratford last month; taken very seriously. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7/4 +22%)Lallygag |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lallygag 7/4, In excellent form over hurdles in recent months, winning at Worcester and this track. Failed to meet expectations both starts over fences last season but remains with potential in this sphere. Yet to convince over fences but has won two Class 2 hurdles since cheekpieces were added. |
|||
3rd (2)  (10/3 -67%)Riskintheground |
10/3(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Riskintheground 10/3, Much improved over fences since dropped back in trip, completing quick-fire hat-trick at Uttoxeter (20f) in June. Had winning run ended when fifth in Summer Plate at Market Rasen but quickly back on the scoresheet returned to calmer waters at Bangor 2 weeks ago. Sure to go well again. Progressive 7yo who has won four of his five chases this season; good chance. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/2 -22%)Secret Trix |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Secret Trix 11/2, Has won 5 times over hurdles since fitted with cheekpieces, resuming winning ways after a breathing operation at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) in July. Turned in a rare poor effort at Cartmel since but big chance on these terms if taking to fences at the first attempt. 6-18 over hurdles; ran poorly last month but has good weights chance on chasing debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having romped home over C&D last month, Glynn recorded another clear-cut success at Stratford just five days later. He is in a more competitive heat now, but still merits respect. Things didn't work out for Lallygag over fences last season, but he has been flying over timber and should not be underestimated. That said, preference is for RISKINTHEGROUND, who made it four wins from nine over the larger obstacles when on target at Bangor a fortnight ago, with further progress far from out of the question.
SECRET TRIX turned in a rare poor effort last time but he's worth another chance given his profile and has a big chance on these terms if taking to fences at the first attempt. All 3 of his rivals are potential dangers, including hat-trick seeking Glynn.
Dan Skelton's RISKINTHEGROUND keeps improving and is taken to collect his fifth win of the season.

1st (8)  (13/2 -8%)Daany |
13/2(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Daany 13/2, Flat/hurdles winner who resumed winning ways in this sphere over C&D in August. However, below best back on the level when tenth of 12 in handicap at Bath (1m) 6 days ago. Not easy to predict. C&D winner last month; needs to rebound quickly from poor Flat run on Saturday. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/3 -33%)Therapist |
10/3(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Therapist 10/3, Steadily progressive hurdler who landed back-to-back handicaps at Southwell/Huntingdon in May prior to a good second at Bangor (16.6f) in June. Respectable third back on the level at Goodwood (12f) 4 weeks ago and very much of interest returned to this sphere. Won her first two handicap hurdles and could still have lots more to offer over jumps. |
|||
3rd (6)  (5/4 +55%)Electric Eddy |
5/4(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Electric Eddy 5/4, Placed a couple of time during the summer and sizeable step forward when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good, 5/1) 9 days ago, having run of race to some extent but sprinting away impressively. Unpenalized for that success and well worth considering. Quickened nicely clear on run-in at Worcester last week and escapes a penalty here. |
|||
4th (2)  (12/1 +0%)Pak Army |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Pak Army 12/1, C&D winner who returned to winning ways on the Flat at Bath (11.6f) in May and made frame next 2 starts over hurdles. Ridden too aggressively when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (16.3f) 13 days ago and he's the type to bounce back. Placed over C&D since his emphatic Flat win in May; can make presence felt again. |
|||
5th (1)  (18/1 +28%)Afta Party |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Afta Party 18/1, C&D winner who returned to winning ways at Worcester (2m) in July. However, well held both starts since, latterly when ninth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles with more to do. Dual hurdle winner (once over C&D) but far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
|||
6th (9)  (16/1 -129%)Outback Frontiers |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Outback Frontiers 16/1, Returned to winning ways at Stratford (18.7f) in July and backed that up when second of 12 in handicap hurdle here (18.5f, good to soft) a week later. Ought to go well again dropping back in trip. Won off career-low mark in July but others in this line-up appeal more. |
|||
7th (7)  (9/1 +25%)Thurley |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Thurley 9/1, Just modest form to date over hurdles yet, equipped with a hood, went closer than previously despite not getting clearest of runs when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) in June. Task is to build on that back from a break. 0-7 over hurdles; ran well over C&D in June but others have more pressing claims. |
|||
8th (5)  (22/1 +12%)Lady Gwen |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lady Gwen 22/1, Been given a chance by the assessor but again caused trouble at the start (kept away from others) and she ran poorly when ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good, 14/1) 30 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere. Won three times in 2023 but has been out of form this year and is not straightforward. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (80/1 -60%)My Mate Polly |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) My Mate Polly 80/1, No promise in bumpers and poor form over hurdles. Others make much more appeal. Ran quite well here recently but is 2lb wrong today and faces a tough task. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having opened his account in decisive fashion at Worcester last week, ELECTRIC EDDY is sure to take all the beating racing off the same rating. The six-year-old is due to go up 7lb in the near future and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to follow up. The progressive Therapist arrives on the back of a solid third on the Flat and Nicky Henderson's filly may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Greenways.
ELECTRIC EDDY built on previous promise after 8 weeks off when running out a ready winner at Worcester 9 days ago and, unpenalized for that success, he makes plenty of appeal in his follow-up bid. Nicky Henderson's Therapist rates the chief danger returned to this sphere, ahead of United Front and Outback Frontiers.
In a hot race for the grade the suggestion is THERAPIST, who made a good start to his handicap hurdle career in the spring.

1st (5)  (11/2 -22%)Karannelle |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Karannelle 11/2, C&D winner in July and also third here on his last 2 outings. Likely to figure again. Back in good form this summer but needs to be produced with a well-timed challenge. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/2 +13%)Addosh |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Addosh 7/2, Well handicapped on his best hurdle form for Stuart Edmunds. Not disgraced in 2 Flat outings for James Owen in recent weeks and she's the type this stable will get wins out of. Has a hood she wore earlier in her career combined with her now regular tongue strap. Both Flat runs for new stable were respectable; now back hurdling on workable mark. |
|||
3rd (6)  (4/1 +50%)Juggernaut |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Juggernaut 4/1, 10/1, creditable seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, good) 29 days ago. Less exposed than a lot of these after only a handful of hurdle starts. Only beaten about 7l in first two handicap hurdles; may still have a bigger run in him. |
|||
4th (9)  (20/1 +0%)Stage Show |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Stage Show 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles, finishing a remote sixth of 14 in maiden here (18.5f, good) 29 days ago. Handicaps may see him in a better light. Cut little ice in three qualifying runs over hurdles but Flat ability offers hope. |
|||
5th (8)  (9/4 +25%)Colonel Lesley |
9/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Colonel Lesley 9/4, C&D winner. 13/2, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, good) 29 days ago. Can make presence felt. Close second in 15-runner handicap here (2m2f) last month; commands respect. |
|||
6th (10)  (22/1 -120%)Pub Crawl |
22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pub Crawl 22/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, including on first handicap start in this sphere at Stratford 24 days ago. Made jockey worked very hard when never-dangerous seventh on recent handicap hurdle debut. |
|||
7th (11)  (66/1 -164%)Boudica Warrior |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Boudica Warrior 66/1, Fair maiden at best on the Flat but hasn't replicated that over hurdles as yet and looks set for another struggle from out of the weights. 24-race maiden who has not shown a great deal for this stable; 7lb wrong today. |
|||
8th (1)  (17/2 -21%)Despereaux |
17/2(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Despereaux 17/2, Dual hurdle winner in 2022/23 season but drew a blank in handicaps last season. Has a reduced mark to work with as a result but betting is perhaps the best guide after 5 months off. Generally very disappointing last season but returns from break on dangerous mark. |
|||
9th (7)  (16/1 +36%)Bears Hug |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bears Hug 16/1, Below form fifth of 12 in C&D handicap (good to soft) 61 days ago. Mark in freefall but need to see more. Made quite encouraging stable debut here in May but well beaten twice since. |
|||
10th (3)  (66/1 -230%)Just The Man |
66/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Just The Man 66/1, Placed twice last summer but hard to get excited by his efforts on the Flat or over hurdles since. Arrives with plenty to prove. Quite useful dual-purpose horse in his prime but out of form this year; revival needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having posted several creditable efforts in defeat this season, just reward could be headed in COLONEL LESLEY's direction. A 2lb rise for last month's close-up second at this venue looks more than fair and he edges the vote over Karannelle, who was behind in third that day. David Rees' mare has subsequently finished third over C&D and a return to quicker ground conditions will suit. Juggernaut is also worth consideration now dropping in trip.
James Owen will likely find the key to ADDOSH before too long, possibly on today's return to hurdling. Colonel Lesley has recorded good placed efforts on his last 4 completed starts and is second choice ahead of Karannelle.
The pick is COLONEL LESLEY, who has been in good form for his new stable this season .

11/10(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wonderful Eagle 11/10, Fairly useful Flat winner in Germany. Kicked off his hurdle career with maiden/novice wins at Newton Abbot at the end of summer and has shown better form in defeat in handicap company since. Scored comfortably on the Flat recently, so makes plenty of appeal. Dual course winner; back hurdling after bagging good-quality Flat handicap last month. |
|||
2nd (1)  (18/1 -177%)Onemorefortheroad |
18/1(-177%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Onemorefortheroad 18/1, A dual chase winner last season who returned to form when third at Stratforrd last time. Made hard work of things, however, and returns to hurdling now. Better known as a chaser now; back hurdling on workable mark; enters calculations. |
|||
3rd (4)  (25/1 -56%)Forever William |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Forever William 25/1, Returned from 7 months off to win at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) last November but hasn't shown much subsequent starts, leaving Alan King prior to latest at Stratford 3 months ago. Well beaten on stable debut; no surprise if Dan Skelton gets him back on track soon though. |
|||
4th (2)  (8/1 -14%)War Lord |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) War Lord 8/1, Struggled over fences last season following creditable reappearance in the Haldon Gold Cup but was back to form over hurdles on penultimate outing. Unseated in a chase here three months ago. Smart chaser at best; arrested decline when placed over hurdles here in June. |
|||
5th (5)  (15/2 -173%)Finisk River |
15/2(-173%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Finisk River 15/2, Has been in good order this summer and didn't need to improve to land a Bangor handicap a fortnight ago, albeit not having much to spare. Should give another good account. Just held on to win off much reduced mark at Bangor this month; should go well again. |
|||
6th (8)  (10/3 +17%)Melton Mossy |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Melton Mossy 10/3, Back on the up when landing a 15-runner event at this course last time and might not have reached his limit, so looks a player if he gets the trip. 2m2f course winner last month; out of the weights in stronger race today; still considered. |
|||
7th (6)  (10/1 -25%)Clearance |
10/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Clearance 10/1, Smooth-traveller who added to his terrific course record when scoring cosily over 2m in June. Raan respectably over C&D last time and should be on the premises again. Six-time course winner; as good as ever in the spring but not quite at same level lately. |

8th (3)  (28/1 -133%)Edison Kent |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Edison Kent 28/1, Back to his best when scoring over hurdles at Uttoxeter in June and, after a couple of lesser efforts, wasn't disgraced on chasing debut at Worcester 19 days ago. Merits respect. Won easily by 11l at Uttoxeter in June but has quickly lost his way since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
In what looks a competitive affair, WONDERFUL EAGLE gets a tentative vote. Already a dual winner over timber, it would be a surprise if there wasn't some mileage in his hurdles mark judging by his cosy Flat victory over 2m at Goodwood last month. Melton Mossy showed a likeable attitude when winning over an extended 2m2f here recently and he merits respect, for all that he has been raised 5lb and is also 4lb out of the handicap. Fellow last-time-out winner Finisk River completes the shortlist.
WONDERFUL EAGLE has left the impression there's a bigger effort in him over hurdles if his jumping improves and he arrives on the back of a successful effort on the Flat, so he's worth a chance to add another C&D win to his record. Last-time-out winners Finisk River and Melton Mossy could emerge as the main dangers.
This pick is dual course winner WONDERFUL EAGLE (nap), who reverts to hurdling after a fine Flat win last month and is on a good mark.

1st (3)  (9/2 -29%)Hold Your Fort |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hold Your Fort 9/2, Really turned a corner since upped in trip over fences, completing C&D hat-trick this summer, latest from 12 lb out of the weights in July. Remains open to improvement and is one for shortlist. A massive improver this summer, winning three in a row over C&D; further progress possible. |
|||
2nd (11)  (13/2 -18%)Honey I'm Good |
13/2(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Honey I'm Good 13/2, C&D winner who was perked up first-time visor when taking 8-runner handicap chase at Stratford (27.5f, good) 24 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Great D'ange. This looks more competitive but she must enter calculations. Dual course winner last summer and bounced back to form last month; still on good mark. |
|||
3rd (6)  (13/2 -86%)Great D'ange |
13/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Great D'ange 13/2, Back to winning ways at Newton Abbot last month and posted good 2¾ lengths second of 8 to Honey I'm Good in handicap chase at Stratford (27.5f, good) 5 days later. 2 lb rise fair but others preferred for win purposes. Caused 80-1 surprise over C&D last month and ran big race in defeat soon afterwards. |
|||
4th (2)  (9/1 +44%)Musical Slave |
9/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Musical Slave 9/1, Useful sort at his best but not scored since February 2023 and may prefer more cut in the ground these days. Very useful in his prime but has regressed and become inconsistent; others preferred. |
|||
5th (9)  (7/1 +50%)Langley Hundred |
7/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Langley Hundred 7/1, Not the easiest to win with and arrives on back of disappointing run at Worcester 74 days ago. Others more appealing. Didn't fire on latest outing but twice went close over C&D in June. |
|||
6th (4)  (13/2 +7%)A Definite Getaway |
13/2(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) A Definite Getaway 13/2, Made winning debut over fences at Worcester in July and backed that up with creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at same course (20f, good, 7/2) 19 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Tries longer trip now and merits consideration. Made good start to chasing career over 2m4f this summer; tries a new trip today. |
|||
7th (1)  (14/1 -17%)Minella Buster |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Minella Buster 14/1, Won 1 of his 7 starts over fences but not seen since running poorly at Plumpton in April. Fairly treated on best form, though. Good second last autumn but tailed off on only subsequent appearance in April. |
|||
|U| (5)  (9/2 +44%)Jigginstown King |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jigginstown King 9/2, Won 3 times last year and back on track when taking 6-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good to firm, 6/1) 21 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Pilot Show, holding on gamely. 4 lb rise fair and should give another good account. Made all at Fontwell last month and now 4-14 over fences; may find this race tougher. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (11/2 +31%)Pilot Show |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pilot Show 11/2, Resumed winning ways at Warwick in May and back to that sort of form when good 2¼ lengths second of 6 to Jigginstown King in handicap chase (5/1) at Fontwell (26f, good to firm) 21 days ago. This looks tougher, though. In good form since the spring (including a win) and ought to be in the shake-up again. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (33/1 -106%)Braganza Bay |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Braganza Bay 33/1, Dual hurdles winner at Hereford in 2022/23 and successful start switched to fences at same course (25.2f) in October. Disappointed on sole subsequent run at Ludlow, however, and bit to prove back from 9-month absence here. Clear winner on chase debut last October; absent since very laboured effort in November. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Honey I'm Good got the better of GREAT D'ANGE when the pair met over an extended 3m3f at Stratford last month, but the winning distance may have flattered the former given that the runner-up's stamina appeared to wane close home. Now stepping back in trip, Barry Brennan's charge can gain his revenge. Hold Your Fort completed a C&D hat-trick and rounds out the shortlist, for all that this mark demands another career best from him.
HOLD YOUR FORT is improving in leaps and bounds and clearly goe well here. He is taken to extend his winning run. A Definite Getaway and Honey I'm Good head the list of dangers.
Three-time point winner HOLD YOUR FORT has made remarkable progress over C&D this summer and might extend his winning spree.

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.
