1st (1)  (1/3 +93%)Barrabool |
1/3(+93%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barrabool 1/3, Just modest form in bumpers despite finishing placed twice but she has transferred to an up-and-coming yard ahead of this hurdles debut. Bought for £24,000 after displaying promise in three bumpers for Tom Weston in the spring. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/4 +93%)Basilette |
9/4(+93%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Basilette 9/4, Doyen filly who only had to run to a modest level to make a winning bumper debut last summer. Similar form and less-than-straightforward maiden on Flat since. Stuck at it for fourth of 9 on hurdles debut last month. Just a respectable fourth on recent hurdling debut; others look much stronger. |
|||
3rd (4)  (33/1 +50%)Crazy Maisie |
33/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crazy Maisie 33/1, Fair handicapper at best on the Flat but not at that level in recent times and was well held previous hurdles outing in 2023. Low-grade AW winner; well beaten when tried over hurdles in March of last year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A small but interesting field sees Barrabool make her debut for Harry Derham after a second in a Southwell bumper, but she will need to find improvement to bother BLUE LAS. Neil Mulholland's six-year-old has taken two of her three bumpers, at Southwell and Uttoxeter, and is bred to be even better over hurdles. If she is ready to go after six months off, she should prove hard to beat. Metkayina also makes the shortlist and is one to watch for future reference.
This should rest between bumper-winners METKAYINA and Blue Las with marginal preference for the former given there's slightly more substance to her form in that sphere.
Blue Las can win over hurdles soon but Aintree Grade 2 bumper fourth METKAYINA could be a very tough nut to crack today.

1st (2)  (6/1 +8%)I Shut That D'or |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) I Shut That D'or 6/1, Belied odds of 50/1 when taking a Wincanton novice hurdle in January 2023. However, he hasn't done much right since and offered little on hurdles return at Exeter 13 days ago. Regressive 6yo who has poor completion record over fences; others look much less risky. |
|||
2nd (1)  (3/1 +25%)Theonlywayiswessex |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Theonlywayiswessex 3/1, Dual AW winner who opened his account over jumps in 9-runner handicap chase at Stratford (17f) in June. Back to that sort of form when creditable third at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) last month and ought to go well again. Won comfortably at Stratford in June and was placed off this mark at Southwell last month. |
|||
3rd (5)  (4/1 -45%)One Last Glance |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) One Last Glance 4/1, Belatedly off the mark, back from 7-month absence, when taking 9-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) 16 days ago. Faces different conditions here but is feasibly treated, back over the larger obstacles, and must enter calculations. Won heavy-ground hurdle last month but today's quicker conditions are probably not ideal. |
|||
4th (3)  (8/1 -78%)Kalkas |
8/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kalkas 8/1, Fairly useful chaser at best for Henry de Bromhead during 2021/22. Not at same level these days but ran respectably when third of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good) when last seen in May. 2 lb lower now and could be a player on return to action. 0-11 over fences but has claims if judged on Fontwell second in April; back from a break. |
|||
5th (6)  (28/1 -75%)Clondaw Robin |
28/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Clondaw Robin 28/1, Still winless over fences and below best at Fontwell when last seen in March. Reappears off a handy mark but others are more persuasive. Unlucky not to win here in January but is 0-25 over fences and has fitness to prove today. |
|||
|U| (4)  (7/1 +56%)Nadim |
7/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nadim 7/1, Scored 3 times over hurdles in 2023 and showed some promise, sent chasing for his new yard, when third in Stratford novice handicap (19.5f) last month. Wasn't in same form at Wincanton, latest, however, and others are more appealing. Placed on last month's stable/chase debut but well held since; not one to rely upon. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (5/2 +38%)Ballinoulart |
5/2(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ballinoulart 5/2, Posted best effort for current yard when very good third of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good) 21 days ago. Finds himself 2 lb out of the weights here but another bold show is on the cards. 0-13 over fences but in the frame several times, most recently three weeks ago; considered. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (200/1 -100%)Design Flaw |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Design Flaw 200/1, Offered little under various codes in Ireland and well beaten both starts in points prior to a very low-key hurdles return at Fontwell (19.1f) 57 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for but she's got plenty on from well out of the weights on handicap debut in this sphere. Ex-Irish maiden; 12lb wrong for handicap debut; difficult to enthuse over. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Joe Tizzard won this last year and is back for more with I Shut That D'or, but he was beaten a long way over hurdles at Exeter and is yet to get his head in front over fences. THEONLYWAYISWESSEX has won in this sphere at Stratford and was a solid third at Southwell last time out, and if he remains at that level, he may be the one to beat. One Last Glance impressed over timber at Stratford and would also be of interest if he transfers that to the larger obstacles.
KALKAS returns on a fair mark and hails from a yard amongst the winners. He could be the answer in a tricky-looking contest. Theonlywayiswessex and Ballinoulart are feared most.
This might go to THEONLYWAYISWESSEX, who was a very convincing 2m1f chase winner in the spring and is unexposed over this trip.

1st (1)  (1/4 +44%)Prince Imperial |
1/4(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Prince Imperial 1/4, Showed improved form on first run since leaving Harriet Dickin when easily winning 9-runner maiden hurdle at Fontwell in September and he defied a penalty at the second time of asking at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago. Double penalty this time but sure to give it a good go. 2-3 over hurdles since joining Olly Murphy in September and has good opportunity here. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/3 -21%)Just Lucky Sivola |
10/3(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Just Lucky Sivola 10/3, From a good family and made a successful debut in a Southwell bumper last November. Disappointed under a penalty at Huntingdon but bred to have a future over hurdles and he's in excellent hands. Battled well to win Southwell bumper last November but the form is very ordinary. |
|||
3rd (3)  (80/1 0%)De Vega's Warrior |
80/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) De Vega's Warrior 80/1, A frustrating maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f) and minor promise only over hurdles last month. Tongue strap applied. Soundly beaten at triple-digit odds on both hurdling starts for new stable last month. |
|||
4th (6)  (33/1 +0%)Court One |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Court One 33/1, €9,000 3-y-o, £20,000 4-y-o, first foal: dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdle winner/fair chaser (stayed 2¾m) Our Friend. Unseated rider sole start in Irish points (Apr 14). Ran well for a long way on Irish point debut but was beaten before last-fence fall. |
|||
5th (2)  (40/1 -21%)Batsman |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Batsman 40/1, Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers, half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser (Cheltenham Gold Cup winner) Coneygree. Successful on second of 2 starts in point bumpers (Jan 2024) but last of 7 in a bumper and likely needs more time. Hood on switched to hurdling. Won a point bumper in January but was soundly beaten in Ludlow bumper on rules debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Prince Imperial arrives with two wins already this season, at Fontwell and Market Rasen, but he has to give plenty of weight to JUST LUCKY SIVOLA, which may prove a huge ask. Paul Nicholls' gelding won his first bumper before disappointing at Huntingdon, but is bred to be far better over obstacles and hopefully has an exciting future in front of him. Batsman took a point-to-point in January and may be the one to follow them home.
PRINCE IMPERIAL has a double penalty to shoulder but he can call upon plenty of experience over obstacles and that may prove to be decisive. Just Lucky Sivola is in the right hands now hurdling and he should be a factor.
By far the most obvious answer is PRINCE IMPERIAL, who is 2-3 over hurdles since joining Olly Murphy and sets a fairly useful standard.

1st (2)  (4/1 -14%)Sacre Coeur |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Sacre Coeur 4/1, Three-time chase winner last season who returned to form when runner-up at Ludlow (23.8f, good) 26 days ago. Remains on an attractive mark and she's a major player. Keen-goer; second to course specilaist at Ludlow last month; still on a good mark. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4/1 +56%)Whydah Gally |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Whydah Gally 4/1, Hit the target twice in handicaps chases at Lingfield last season, latterly demonstrating strong stamina reserves with a success over 29f in February. However, he merely underlined the fact that he's not one to bank on by following that with a couple of low-key performances. Ended last season with below-par runs but won when fresh last autumn. |
|||
3rd (1)  (16/1 +36%)Boldmere |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Boldmere 16/1, Winner of 3m veterans' events at Doncaster and Fakenham during the early part of 2023 but he offered little in a handful of appearances last season. Not much went to plan last season but he arrives here fresh and well handicapped. |
|||
4th (6)  (12/1 -20%)Sublime Heights |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sublime Heights 12/1, Three of his 4 chase wins have been gained here, registering first success away from this venue when landing a 3-runner Chepstow handicap (23.6f, soft) in April. No show on his reappearance at Fontwell, though, and, like last season, he may need a few runs before coming to the boil. Very well suited by this C&D but has developed a tendency to race lazily; risky. |
|||
5th (4)  (18/1 -125%)I See You Well |
18/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) I See You Well 18/1, Something of a course specialist, winning 5 times over C&D, and he was second in this race off a 6 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Rather hit-and-miss since, though, and he looks vunerable for win purposes. Five-time C&D winner who is now 6lb lower than when second in this race last year. |
|||
|F| (3)  (10/11 +0%)Scamallach Liath |
10/11(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Scamallach Liath 10/11, Showed plenty over hurdles, placed all 4 starts for Oliver Sherwood during 2022/23 and winner of an Ascot novices' handicap (24.4f, good) on debut for Harry Derham last November. Came up short in Sandown Grade 3 Sandown handicap when last seen in February but sights lowered for this chasing bow. Did well over hurdles for this stable last season and could have a good future over fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SACRE COEUR occupied the runner-up berth at Ludlow last month and she competes off the same rating. That is the best recent form on offer in this contest and Dan Skelton's mare could prove tough to beat. Scamallach Liath finished midfield as favourite in a Grade 3 event over the smaller obstacles at Sandown in February and has to be considered on his chase debut, while I See You Well is another to consider.
SCAMALLACH LIATH could finish only mid-field when sent off favourite for a Grade 3 Sandown handicap on the final start of a light campaign last season, but he now makes his chase debut in much calmer waters and this Irish point winner appeals as the type to make his mark over fences. Sacre Coeur is the clear main danger ahead of veteran course regular I See You Well.
The one with most potential is chase debutant SCAMALLACH LIATH, who ran well on all three hurdling starts for Harry Derham last season.

1st (4)  (9/4 +25%)Irish Hill |
9/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Irish Hill 9/4, Won 3 on the bounce during 2022/23 campaign and recorded plenty of creditable efforts in defeat last season. Ran no sort of race in the Silver Trophy last season but well treated if bouncing back in a change of headgear (cheekpieces he wore once at the start of his career replace blinkers). Placed on final two starts last season but his reappearance run was very poor. |
|||
2nd (1)  (12/1 +14%)Mark Of Gold |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mark Of Gold 12/1, Won 21f Kempton handicap in February. Arrives fit from the Flat (respectable third at Goodwood last month) and capable of playing a part. Good winner at Kempton in February but ended last season with two heavy defeats. |
|||
3rd (6)  (10/3 -48%)Yellow Star |
10/3(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Yellow Star 10/3, Fairly useful form at best on the Flat and similar form in this sphere, successful in a 2m Lingfield novice (soft) in February. Creditable fourth of 11 in 2m Chepstow handicap on reappearance and the longer trip this afternoon promises to play to his strengths. Ended last season with very good 2m run and ran perfectly well on reappearance outing. |
|||
4th (7)  (25/1 -25%)Godot |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Godot 25/1, C&D winner who was also successful over fences here in January. Below par when last seen in the spring and best watched back hurdling from 7 lb out of the handicap. Won over fences here last season but is 7lb wrong on this return to hurdling. |
|||
5th (2)  (5/1 -43%)Onemorefortheroad |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Onemorefortheroad 5/1, A dual chaser winner who has run with credit back hurdling at Newton Abbot and Chepstow this autumn. First-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces. Likely to be in the shake-up again. Front-runner; comes here after two good efforts and ought to make another bold bid. |
|||
6th (3)  (14/1 -115%)Enthused |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Enthused 14/1, Most likeable sort who gained a sixth hurdle success when seeing off 7 rivals over 2m here in September. Not in the same form twice since but it's possible a change of headgear (first-time blinkers for visor) will perk him back up. Also up in trip. Career-best form when winning here in September but safely held twice since. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (10/3 +70%)Forever William |
10/3(+70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Forever William 10/3, Three-time winner for Alan King. Stepped up on his low-key debut for this yard when third of 8 in Newton Abbot handicap (21.5f, good) in September. Well held in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow since but should make more of an impact back in a less-competitive scenario. Won this for Alan King last year and was placed for new stable two starts ago; shortlisted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ONEMOREFORTHEROAD has made the frame on each of his last two outings at this level and he now sports a first-time visor. Neil King's nine-year-old remains on a workable mark and should have no issues with the step back up in trip to get his head back in front. Irish Hill is a lot better than he showed when pulled up at Chepstow on his return and has to be considered. Yellow Star is another to note.
YELLOW STAR could prove suited by this increased test of stamina and is preferred to Irish Hill, who ran a stinker in the Silver Trophy but is well treated if a change of headgear and a return to calmer waters sparks a revival. Onemorefortheroad has run well back hurdling this autumn and should also feature.
Placed in a very competitive 2m handicap at the end of last season, YELLOW STAR (nap) gets the vote over a new trip here.

1st (3)  (7/1 +0%)Non Stop |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Non Stop 7/1, The second of his 4 runs over fences last season was encouraging, finishing runner-up in a 2¼m Taunton handicap on the occasion in question. Interesting returned to hurdles (2-5 in this sphere) for the yard that saddled the winner of this race in 2023. Went close over fences last season but absent since slightly disappointing run in January. |
|||
2nd (4)  (14/1 -75%)Inferno Sacree |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Inferno Sacree 14/1, Enjoyed a most productive spell when winning 5 times from 6 starts in the first half of 2023, with 3 of those wins gained here. Largely struggled since, though, and others make more appeal on this occasion. Out of form when last seen in spring and needs to have been refreshed by a break. |
|||
3rd (5)  (3/1 -20%)Two To Tango |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Two To Tango 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden who showed fair form in pair of maiden hurdles last winter. Back on track when third in a 10-runner Wincanton handicap (15.2f, good) 18 days ago and he is high on the shortlist off the same mark here. 0-5 over hurdles but kept on pretty well for third at Wincanton last month, after a break. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/4 +42%)Shared |
7/4(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Shared 7/4, Improved when taking a 2m Chepstow handicap on reappearance last season, and ended that campaign with a creditable effort at Warwick. His tendency to race lazily was in evidence on return this time round at Kelso last month, though, and he's likely to find one or two too good. Just a respectable third at Kelso (2m5f) last month; drops back in trip here; more needed. |
|||
5th (6)  (3/1 +14%)Calshot Spit |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Calshot Spit 3/1, Found only a well-handicapped rival too strong in 2m handicap at Stratford in August and, having scored on the Flat next time, he narrowly prevailed back in this sphere at Fontwell towards the end of September. Ground was probably against him returned to the level since and he remains of interest. Won on the Flat and over hurdles in September; still unexposed in this sphere. |
|||
6th (2)  (20/1 -67%)Aggagio |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Aggagio 20/1, Likeable dual-purpose performer who enhanced his good strike rate with a pair of hurdle victories during early 2023 and held form well on Flat thereafter. However, he ran poorly on the level back from a break in September and again failed to fire back in this sphere recently. Back from break with two disappointing runs (Flat/hurdle); needs to get back in the groove. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A promising third at Wincanton when keeping on well towards the finish, TWO TO TANGO is likely to build upon that effort and Emma Lavelle's charge is fancied to break his duck. Calshot Spit has strong claims if putting a disappointing performance on the Flat at Bath behind him, while Shared has dropped to mark 3lb lower than his last win and could be suited by stepping back in trip.
It's probably best to overlook CALSHOT SPIT's heavy defeat on the Flat last month, as he simply didn't appear to handle the testing conditions. He was at the top of his game prior to that and, with the ground more suitable back hurdling here, the 4-y-o is taken to deliver. Two To Tango took a step back in the right direction at Wincanton recently and he is second choice ahead of Non Stop and Shared.
One of two to pull well clear of the others when opening his hurdling account at Fontwell two starts ago, CALSHOT SPIT gets the nod.

(4)  (7/1 -8%)Ted's Friend |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ted's Friend 7/1, C&D winner. 13/2, creditable 2½ lengths second of 9 to Batwomen in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.1f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Has slipped in the weights and looks to be building up to something. Back in good form lately, more recently when second to Batwomen at Fontwell. |
|||
1st (6)  (20/1 0%)Ede'iffs Rock |
20/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ede'iffs Rock 20/1, Consistent sort who opened her account after a frustrating run of placed efforts in 13-runner handicap at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) in January. Arrives on the back of a creditable effort at Hereford, so could get involved. Posted sound effort when fourth at Hereford last month but others here have more potential. |
|||
2nd (8)  (5/2 +75%)Macari |
5/2(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Macari 5/2, Much improved when winning here in April and returned to form at Stratford in July. Arrives on the back of success on the Flat, so well worthy of consideration. Not obviously well handicapped over hurdles but looked in excellent nick on Flat last week. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/1 -22%)Highway One O Five |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Highway One O Five 11/1, In good order towards the end of last season and should strip fitter for his return at Fontwell. Looks a player with cheekpieces tried for the first time. Ended last season with some good runs but his reappearance was underwhelming; headgear on. |
|||
4th (9)  (22/1 +21%)Birdman Bob |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Birdman Bob 22/1, Course winner who ended last season in form and is likely to strip fitter for his return here, so not ruled out back up in trip. Ended last season in poor form and was soundly beaten on recent reappearance. |
|||
5th (3)  (20/1 -100%)Poncho |
20/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Poncho 20/1, Course novice winner in January 2023 but has yet to make an impact in handicaps. Ran well on the Flat last time but jumping is a concern in this sphere. Fairly consistent on the Flat this year and now reverts to hurdling on a good mark. |

6th (2)  (7/4 -17%)Recoded |
7/4(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Recoded 7/4, Fairly useful form when placed in a pair of bumpers. Yet to match that over hurdles but this is just his second outing for a shrewd stable and his opening mark is potentially lenient. Close second in Huntingdon maiden on stable debut; should improve in handicaps. |

4/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bashful Boy 4/1, Fair handicap hurdler who ran well in the Cesarewitch last time and returns to this sphere on an appealing mark. Respected. Regresssive over hurdles since last autumn but recently ran well in Cesarewitch on Flat. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Now that the penny has dropped for BATWOMEN after a comfortable defeat of Ted's Friend at Fontwell, the Neil Mulholland-trained mare is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and she can follow up off 5lb higher. Second on his first start for the Harry Derham yard at Huntingdon last month, Recoded must enter calculations, along with Highway One O Five, who ran well over C&D in April but hasn't quite performed to that level since.
BATWOMEN left previous efforts behind when seeing off Ted's Friend to make a successful handicap debut at Fontwelll last time and, with more to come, she's worth a chance to go in again. Recoded is an obvious danger and Highway One O Five is of interest in first-time headgear.
After winning with a bit left in the tank at Fontwell last month, BATWOMEN could still be well handicapped after a 5lb rise.
