I'd Like To Know |
(4) (6/4 +25%)6/4(+25%) | (4) I'd Like To Know 6/4, Promising individual who has made an excellent start in this sphere, just denied at Newbury on debut before going one better in good style there last month. Seems sure to win more races before the season is out. Has made a good start over fences and this scopey 7yo can progress further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scarface |
(5) (16/5 +20%)16/5(+20%) | (5) Scarface 16/5, Gradually getting the hang of things over fences, scoring over C&D in January before quickly resuming winning ways at Sandown last month. Must be respected. Recent Sandown winner and no reason why he shouldn't have a major say off 3lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bourbali |
(3) (11/2 +21%)11/2(+21%) | (3) Bourbali 11/2, Seems a better chaser than hurdler, jumping accurately when seeing off sole rival at Kempton (18f) in November. Not disgraced in Grade 2 there next time before decent second back in handicap company at Wincanton. Hood on 1st time. Player. Early days over fences and he ran well under a big weight on handicap debut latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kotmask |
(2) (13/2 -44%)13/2(-44%) | (2) Kotmask 13/2, Has taken well to chasing this season, improving again when winning for the third time over fences in a 4-runner C&D handicap 6 weeks ago. However, was in the process of running below form when falling at Sandown (race won by Scarface) since so needs to bounce back. Even with a trouble-free round he might be too high in the weights now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Huelgoat |
(6) (10/1 -43%)10/1(-43%) | (6) Huelgoat 10/1, Four-time winner over fences during first half of last season and impressed with his strength at the finish in a well-run race to go in again at Wincanton in November. Possible excuses both starts since so better showing wouldn't surprise. Has been waiting for the ground to dry out and his winning form in Nov brings him into it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Walk In Clover |
(7) (16/1 +0%)16/1(+0%) | (7) Walk In Clover 16/1, Back-to-back chase winner last spring and plenty of good efforts in defeat have followed, not least when third off a 3 lb higher mark in a competitive Cheltenham handicap in November. Below par since, however, including when tried in a hood at Ascot last week. Has the form to feature but she's not one to rely on; didn't improve for a hood last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Black Gerry |
(1) (20/1 -150%)20/1(-150%) | (1) Black Gerry 20/1, Won all 4 of his starts when completing last season, including this race, but has made little impact in 4 outings this term. Won this last year off 5lb higher but this season hasn't gone half as well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Representing the Chris Gordon yard, I'D LIKE TO KNOW was quite taking when opening his account over fences at Newbury last month. The seven-year-old looks just the type who could reach greater heights in this discipline and an 8lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to prevent him from following up. Kotmask's jumping wasn't quite up to scratch when falling at Sandown in March, but the son of Masked Marvel warrants respect back over the C&D of his triumph the previous month. Scarface also warrants a second look.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW has made an encouraging start to his chasing career and looks one to keep on the right side of after his stylish win at Newbury last month. Likely front-runner Bourbali is next best ahead of the in-form Scarface.
Chris Gordon's I'D LIKE TO KNOW (nap) has made a solid start to his chase career and he had a good bit up his sleeve at Newbury.

Always Busy |
(3) (9/4 +36%)9/4(+36%) | (3) Always Busy 9/4, Good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, soft) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off the same mark. Off his reduced mark he beat all bar an in-form mare over 3m at Taunton 21 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Bold Thady |
(1) (9/2 +25%)9/2(+25%) | (1) The Bold Thady 9/2, Weak finisher who has yet to win but he does have consistent form figures. Brought down first at Ascot last time so no forlorn hope. Brought down early at Ascot when the return to drier ground was expected to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rollo's Kingdom |
(11) (11/2 +45%)11/2(+45%) | (11) Rollo's Kingdom 11/2, Remains a maiden and he came in only fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, heavy) 21 days ago. Others are preferred. After an improved effort at Fontwell it was a disappointing run at Stratford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Le Boulevardier |
(2) (15/2 -173%)15/2(-173%) | (2) Le Boulevardier 15/2, Refiited with cheekpieces when posting a career best to win 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 126 days ago on his final run for Sam Curling. Not ruled out for his new handler. Comfortably landed a gamble over this far at Ludlow for previous Irish connections. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Game Socks |
(4) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (4) Game Socks 8/1, Course winner who was only fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Switches to hurdles with more needed in added blinkers. It's been hard work this season (chasing) following a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Flemen's Tipple |
(6) (11/1 -69%)11/1(-69%) | (6) Flemen's Tipple 11/1, Ran poorly returned to fences when sixth of 7 in handicap chase here 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back with cheekpieces on for first time. Placed again over hurdles here before finishing well behind on his switch to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eliza Dolittle |
(10) (12/1 +25%)12/1(+25%) | (10) Eliza Dolittle 12/1, Modest maiden hurdler. Below-par fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle here (15.9f, soft) 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do. 2m is looking an insuffucient test but whether she'll stay this far remains to be seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mister Upton |
(9) (14/1 +30%)14/1(+30%) | (9) Mister Upton 14/1, Looks limited and is set for another struggle. Lightly raced but he's offered little so far, including two handicaps at about 2m3f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ipso Falco |
(5) (22/1 +33%)22/1(+33%) | (5) Ipso Falco 22/1, Has run to only a poor level in bumpers/over hurdles, again going with little fluency when well held in novice handicap at Fontwell (21.8f, heavy) in December. Best watched. Modest form in novice/maiden hurdles; soundly beaten in handicaps last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Celine Man |
(7) (33/1 -340%)33/1(-340%) | (7) Celine Man 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f) when last seen out 12 months ago on his final run for Mark Fahey. Tongue strap on for his new yard with his fitness to prove. Best of his five hurdle runs was when 2nd in a Fakenham handicap in March over 2m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tooting |
(12) (100/1 -525%)100/1(-525%) | (12) Tooting 100/1, Out of a winning hurdler but no promise so far. Needs this switch to handicaps to yield major improvement. Raised markedly in trip for handicap debut but she's 8lb out of the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 6lb rise in the handicap looks on the lenient side for LE BOULEVARDIER, who appeared to score with something in hand over 3m at Ludlow in November. The eight-year-old should relish this extra furlong and he's taken to make a perfect stable bow for Gary Moore. The biggest threat may emerge from Always Busy, who found only a progressive rival too strong at Taunton last month, while Flemen's Tipple should prove more competitive on this switch back to hurdles.
Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and ALWAYS BUSY looks to have been found a very good opportunity to resume winning ways on the same mark as when second at Taunton 3 weeks ago. Le Boulevardier is feared most now starting out with Gary Moore. The consistent The Bold Thady appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
Patience is wearing thin with FLEMEN'S TIPPLE but his second in this last year wasn't his only near miss and he was chasing last time.

Hilltown |
(5) (15/8 +25%)15/8(+25%) | (5) Hilltown 15/8, Good second over C&D 3 weeks ago having not been in much form and won over hurdles (fortunate) at this meeting last year. Well handicapped on hurdle form and ran his best race over fences here last time out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Proper Twelve |
(2) (5/2 -25%)5/2(-25%) | (2) Proper Twelve 5/2, Got off the mark over hurdles at Market Rasen in May. Runner-up first 2 starts over fences and no chance when falling early at Taunton when last seen (had his space taken in the air over the first and had nowhere to go on landing). Likely player up in trip. Form figures of 22F over fences and there could be improvement lurking over this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
William Ewart |
(4) (9/2 -50%)9/2(-50%) | (4) William Ewart 9/2, Justified support when scoring for the first time over fences at Southwell (3m, heavy) in February. Not so good at Wincanton next time but a player in this company. Last time was very laboured but if bouncing back he'd have a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Furkash |
(3) (15/2 -25%)15/2(-25%) | (3) Furkash 15/2, Winning hurdler who was below form despite keeping mistakes to a minimum at Bangor (3m, heavy) last time and others preferred. Now 0-16 over fences but often thereabouts and he's competitively treated. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bolberry Down |
(6) (9/1 +73%)9/1(+73%) | (6) Bolberry Down 9/1, Poor/unreliable maiden who continues to offer little. Pulled up in his first two chases and was well held when he did get round at Huntingdon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kadex |
(1) (11/1 -83%)11/1(-83%) | (1) Kadex 11/1, Won a poor similar race over C&D in October and nothing to write home about of late, but not the biggest surprise to see a revival in new headgear. Let down by his jumping with three pull-ups; blinkers replace previous headgear. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Proper Twelve made it no further than the first fence when falling at Taunton in late November, although he still ranks as a potential improver over staying distances. However, HILLTOWN won't be lacking for stamina judged on last month's C&D second and the six-year-old rates a more solid proposition. William Ewart needs to bounce back from a lesser effort when a well-beaten third at Wincanton in March, but Christian Williams' charge won at Southwell the time before and shouldn't be far away if running to his best.
There is probably more to come from Chris Gordon's PROPER TWELVE and he gets the vote over William Ewart and Kadex.
The 6yo HILLTOWN should be winning races off his current mark and last time here was better. Proper Twelve is the dark horse.

Saladins Son |
(7) (1/3 +34%)1/3(+34%) | (7) Saladins Son 1/3, Bought for £95,000 after landing a maiden point. Hit the frame twice over hurdles and will find this a lot easier than the handicap he contested at Sandown last month. One to beat. Seventh in Sandown's EBF Final three weeks ago and this is a whole lot easier than that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kaituna River |
(5) (3/1 +0%)3/1(+0%) | (5) Kaituna River 3/1, Winning Irish pointer but presumably had share of issues given he missed 16 months after his Rules debut. That said, he did shape with a bit of promise at Doncaster. Beaten 14l after getting outpaced at Doncaster and he's entitled to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Harrys Game |
(3) (14/1 -87%)14/1(-87%) | (3) Harrys Game 14/1, Shaped better than on debut when third at Ffos Las on final start for Jeremy Scott in May. Off since and hood removed. Flat-bred 7yo; beaten 41l (2m) and 17l (2m4f) in two hurdles for Jeremy Scott. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Honey Jack |
(4) (25/1 -25%)25/1(-25%) | (4) Honey Jack 25/1, Has scope but looked badly in need of the experience when well-beaten on debut in a Newbury bumper and pulled up over hurdles since. Early days but comes here with plenty to prove after two quiet runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Captain's Pick |
(1) (28/1 +15%)28/1(+15%) | (1) Captain's Pick 28/1, Better effort in bumpers in Ireland when second of 12 at Kilbeggan in June, but failed to threaten on first start for this yard at Worcester 2 months later and was pulled up on hurdles bow. Ordinary stuff in Britain and went off at 125-1 before pulling up in a maiden at Exeter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Clifton Mist |
(2) (50/1 -52%)50/1(-52%) | (2) Clifton Mist 50/1, Kapgarde gelding. Dam fairly useful hurdler (15f winner in France, stayed 21f). Raced freely and offered little starting out at Chepstow. Didn't get home on heavy ground at Chepstow (2m3f; 18-1), though was beaten a fair way out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Westtara |
(8) (50/1 +0%)50/1(+0%) | (8) Westtara 50/1, Well held in bumpers and again showed little over hurdles. Minor rules form before embarking on a point career that has yielded one win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lady Dena |
(9) (80/1 -220%)80/1(-220%) | (9) Lady Dena 80/1, Dylan Thomas mare. Half-sister to 1m winner Barrsbrook. Dam, maiden on Flat, half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful but unreliable chaser (stayed 3m) Daldini. Wears hood and likely best watched on this belated debut. Flat-bred mare who makes a very belated debut at the age of eight and she's hooded. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This doesn't look the deepest of contests and so it appears to present SALADINS SON, who finished a creditable seventh in a warm premier handicap at Sandown last month, with a good chance to shed his maiden tag. Kaituna River reached the frame at Doncaster last time out and must be of interest with Harry Cobden aboard for the first time, while Record High could prove to be best of the remainder.
SALADINS SON takes a big drop in class having contested a warm handicap at Sandown 3 weeks ago and he looks ready to take full advantage. Kaituna River and Record High have both had light careers so far but a step forward from either would come as no surprise here.
This is a modest maiden hurdle and SALADINS SON may only have to repeat his run in the always-strong EBF Final at Sandown.

Soir De Gala |
(7) (5/4 +69%)5/4(+69%) | (7) Soir De Gala 5/4, Promise on Wincanton bumper debut last spring and again when fifth of 16 on hurdling bow at Exeter on New Year's Day, albeit he did finish rather weakly. Well held both subsequent starts but he's in good hands and he appeals as the type to step up now switched to handicap company. Nothing to shout about over hurdles but now handicapped accordingly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Macari |
(9) (11/2 +0%)11/2(+0%) | (9) Macari 11/2, Modest maiden hurdler who found just one too good on his handicap debut here (2m, soft) at the end of February. Should pick up a race at some point on that evidence but others look stronger here all the same. Improved second on handicap debut here when chasing home a subsequent winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Star Of Affinity |
(5) (13/2 +19%)13/2(+19%) | (5) Star Of Affinity 13/2, Some promise when fifth in Taunton bumper and 2m Kempton novice hurdle first 2 starts. Yet to be asked for his effort when falling 4 out at Fontwell last time and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting on this handicap debut. Smidgeons of promise and should raise his game in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Angel's Dream |
(4) (8/1 +20%)8/1(+20%) | (4) Angel's Dream 8/1, Much-improved on third hurdles start when landing a 2m maiden here (good to firm) last May. Has failed to make much of an impact in 4 starts switched to handicaps this time round, though, and yard saddles a stronger candidate in Sanitiser. Got stuck in the mud at Wincanton last time; everything is more suitable this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mi Sueno |
(2) (11/1 -267%)11/1(-267%) | (2) Mi Sueno 11/1, Belatedly opened his account when making all in Fakenham selling handicap in February. Again allowed a soft lead when following up here (2m, soft) next time but only raised 2 lb for that and another bold show could be on the way. Two front-running wins but it could be harder to dominate this bigger field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Uncle Arthur |
(6) (12/1 +0%)12/1(+0%) | (6) Uncle Arthur 12/1, Opened hurdles account on fourth and final start for Fergal O'Brien in December and ran with credit back in handicap company for new yard at Newcastle next time. Ran no sort of a race at Lingfield last time but will have a fighting chance if able to get back on track. Hasn't built on a fair first run for this yard and has enough to prove on balance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Who Is That |
(10) (12/1 +52%)12/1(+52%) | (10) Who Is That 12/1, Notched third chase success at Fontwell last spring but he has failed to fire both starts here since returning from a break in December, including back hurdling last time. Three chase wins last season; this campaign has been a nightmare but could turn it around. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Berlais Du George |
(8) (25/1 -25%)25/1(-25%) | (8) Berlais Du George 25/1, Encouraging signs when fourth in an 8-runner novice on hurdles debut here (2m, good to soft) in October. However, he hasn't offered much in 2 subsequent starts and needs to raise his game considerably now pitched into a handicap. Handicap debutant whose best run was an 8l fourth over 2m here in October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gardons La |
(11) (40/1 -100%)40/1(-100%) | (11) Gardons La 40/1, Just a modicum of promise in 2 starts in France and has shown barely anything for current yard. Looking exposed after offering little in six handicaps and refused to race in one of those. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Importateur |
(13) (50/1 +24%)50/1(+24%) | (13) Importateur 50/1, No show in 4 starts over hurdles to date and he faces a stiff task from 14 lb out of the weights on this handicap debut/first run for new yard following a 9-month absence. Poor so far and he's a long way out of the weights on this handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Things have really clicked into place for MI SUENO, who complemented his Fakenham victory with a 2m success here last month. Paddy Butler's charge is just 2lb higher today and that is unlikely to prevent him from mounting another stern challenge. Star Of Affinity, Soir De Gala and Berlais Du George all make their handicap debut and must be monitored closely in the betting, while Sanitiser, who caught the eye having travelled strongly into contention at Kempton when last seen in November, is no back number.
SANITISER wasn't given a hard time when fourth on his first run over hurdles for this yard at Kempton in November and he is of strong interest here. Next on the list is Soir de Gala, who may well get back on track for his top connections now that he ventures down the handicap route, while the hat-trick seeking Mi Sueno has to enter calculations, too.
This is wide open. CUBAN COURT earns narrow preference in the hope that it was the heavy ground that contributed to his poor last run.

El Muchacho |
(3) (15/8 +69%)15/8(+69%) | (3) El Muchacho 15/8, Point winner who also scored twice over hurdles last January. Easily best effort over fences so far when third of 4 at Hereford last time, shaping better than the result. Has left Anthony Charlton since. His third in a field of four at Hereford last time wasn't overly convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pearly Island |
(4) (11/4 +21%)11/4(+21%) | (4) Pearly Island 11/4, 9/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, soft) 19 days ago. Back up in the weights/grade now. It was a likeable display when getting off the mark over fences at Huntingdon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Toothless |
(2) (16/5 -83%)16/5(-83%) | (2) Toothless 16/5, Dual 2m hurdles winner last season who got back on track switched to chasing when second in handicap at Wincanton 44 days ago. Open to improvement and worth taking a chance on. Back to form when second on chase debut; heavy ground would not have been ideal either. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Aggagio |
(1) (7/2 -133%)7/2(-133%) | (1) Aggagio 7/2, Likeable dual-purpose performer who was in good form on the level during the summer, good third at Goodwood (2m) in September. Made a solid start to chasing when second at Huntingdon a couple of months ago and merits plenty of respect. Useful dual-purpose 6yo; runner-up on chase debut latest despite jumping struggles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The versatile AGGAGIO didn't always look a natural chaser on his debut in this sphere when second at Huntingdon in January, but he is in the right hands and ought to have learned greatly from the experience. Open to any amount of progression, Gary Moore's six-year-old could be a different proposition here. Pearly Island rates a danger despite this trip potentially being on the sharp side, while Toothless is another potential improver to consider on just his second start over fences.
TOOTHLESS doesn't have a fully convincing profile but there was enough encouragement in his chasing debut at Wincanton to think he's worth taking a chance on here. Aggagio is the solid alternative and last-time-out winner Pearly Island can't be fully dismissed for all that he's back up in grade.
Pearly Island is solid but TOOTHLESS is worth chancing after returning to form at Wincanton on ground that was not ideal for him.

Duke Of Baddesley |
(1) (11/8 +77%)11/8(+77%) | (1) Duke Of Baddesley 11/8, £32,000 3-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Nimbus Boy. The stable has a healthy 17% strike-rate in bumpers in the last 5 seasons. Interesting newcomer, particularly if backed. £32,000 3yo; third foal; half-brother to 2m3f hurdle winner Nimbus Boy. |

Ken Roy |
(3) (9/4 -50%)9/4(-50%) | (3) Ken Roy 9/4, 2/1 and showed promise amidst greenness when third of 8 on Kempton debut in February. His position at the head of the market on that occasion suggests he's quite well regarded by his top yard. The winner of his Kempton race is useful and this 5yo should improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mask Of Zorro |
(6) (6/1 -33%)6/1(-33%) | (6) Mask Of Zorro 6/1, €50,000 Masked Marvel gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Frere d'Armes. Dam unraced. Stable only 3-41 in bumpers in the last seasons but he still needs monitoring in the betting. 50,000euros 3yo; fourth foal; half-brother to useful jumper Frere D'Armes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bluey |
(4) (8/1 +33%)8/1(+33%) | (4) Bluey 8/1, Picked up for £27,000 after making it fifth time lucky in points in January. Wears a hood on Rules debut. The market should provide more clues. Bought for £27,000 after making it fifth-time lucky in Irish points two months ago. |

Ocean Walz |
(7) (14/1 -367%)14/1(-367%) | (7) Ocean Walz 14/1, Ran to a fair level when narrowly denied on his Hereford debut (2m, soft) 5 weeks ago. Likely to go well again. Very nearly got up to win at Hereford but remains to be seen how strong that form is. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jumble Jury |
(2) (25/1 -213%)25/1(-213%) | (2) Jumble Jury 25/1, Point winner last spring. Ran to only a modest level when fourth of 8 on his Chepstow bumper debut 5 weeks ago but he might come on for the outing. Won his point on good ground and perhaps not seen to best effect on heavy at Chepstow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Takeachancewithme |
(5) (28/1 -40%)28/1(-40%) | (5) Takeachancewithme 28/1, Pour Moi mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser Jay Bee Why, stays 3m. Trainer no stranger to bumper success. The betting should guide to expectations. Half-sister to useful 2m3f/2m5f hurdle winner Jay Bee Why; dam bumper winner. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KEN ROY showed promise on his debut in a Kempton bumper last month and, having had a wind issue addressed since, there could be plenty more to come from the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding. The betting market should be informative as far as the newcomers are concerned, but Mask Of Zorro makes plenty of appeal on paper. Ocean Walz was beaten by just a short head on his racecourse bow in a similar contest at Hereford last month and rates the pick of the rest.
KEN ROY couldn't justify favouritism on his Kempton debut but showed promise amidst greenness and is taken to improve past Hereford runner-up Ocean Waltz. Duke of Baddesley is a noteworthy newcomer from a stable which has lots of winners here.
This could go to KEN ROY. He may have failed favourite backers at Kempton but it was still a promising run behind a useful winner.
Ths is the racecard key.
