1st (7)  (7/4 +13%)Goodwin |
7/4(+13%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Goodwin 7/4, Ready winner of a Fontwell bumper in February and ran to a fair level on his first start over hurdles when runner-up in novice at this course (20.5f) last month, despite having not always been fluent. Entitled to progress so he looks to hold leading claims. Game effort when second to useful rival here (2m4f) on hurdling debut six weeks ago. |
|||
2nd (9)  (2/1 -21%)Junkanoo |
2/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Junkanoo 2/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 11.5f) and showed plenty on his hurdling debut when second of 4 in introductory event at Ascot last month. Should have more to offer given his ability on the level, so he's not taken lightly. Fairly useful on the Flat; creditable second on recent hurdle debut at Ascot; good chance. |
|||
3rd (12)  (4/1 +0%)Walks Like The Man |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Walks Like The Man 4/1, Winner of his second outing in points and made a successful start under Rules in Newton Abbot bumper in October. Found it tougher in listed race at Cheltenham next time (only run for Syd Hosie), but he's one to note on his stable/hurdling debut. Point/bumper winner who looks a good prospect for novice hurdles. |
|||
4th (5)  (22/1 -10%)Deerstalker |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Deerstalker 22/1, Clear when falling at the last in his sole point. Faded after racing keenly in a Warwick bumper in the spring for Mel Rowley and shaped as if better for the run on yard/hurdles debut at Kempton (21f) in October. This run should reveal more. Not written off just yet but has made a disappointing start to his rules career. |
|||
5th (10)  (18/1 -64%)Kotari |
18/1(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kotari 18/1, Fair maiden on Flat in France and showed promise making his stable debut on the level in October. Much better than the result sent hurdling at Fontwell (17.7f) last time, not getting home faced with testing conditions, so he remains capable of better. Fair on the Flat; struggled to cope with heavy ground on last month's hurdling debut. |
|||
6th (11)  (150/1 -275%)Stick With Me Sam |
150/1(-275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Stick With Me Sam 150/1, £40,000 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including prolific French hurdle/chase winner up to 19f Athena du Berlais and fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Ladybank. Dam, 2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser Mr Mole. Half-brother to an Italian Grade 1 hurdle winner but probably best watched on debut. |
|||
7th (4)  (40/1 +20%)Crystal Mer |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Crystal Mer 40/1, Having run to a fair level in bumpers, tailed off on his hurdles debut but showed a bit more when sixth in maiden at Ludlow 3 weeks ago, making late headway albeit finishing well beaten. Still has plenty to find. Second in a bumper in March but no threat in two hurdle races last month. |
|||
8th (6)  (300/1 -100%)Eloso |
300/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eloso 300/1, Fair winner on the Flat at up to 12f for Gay Kelleway. However, made a discouraging start over hurdles for his new yard when beaten a long way at Sandown in November. Best watched. Fair on the Flat at up to 1m4f but was tailed off when 200-1 for last month's hurdle debut. |
|||
9th (8)  (66/1 -200%)Je Suis Sacre |
66/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Je Suis Sacre 66/1, Saint Des Saints gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Inferno Sacree, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Emir Sacree, stays 3m. Dam unraced half-sister to dual Champion Chase winner Sprinter Sacre. May just be better for this first outing. Out of a half-sister to Sprinter Sacre; has fairly good standard to reach on debut. |
|||
10th (13)  (200/1 -300%)Guinessed |
200/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Guinessed 200/1, Mid-field at best in a trio of bumpers and has failed to complete both starts over hurdles so far, though was making steady headway before falling 3 out at Lingfeld 18 days ago. Faces a difficult ask, though. Showed only minor promise in bumpers and has failed to complete first two hurdle races. |
|||
11th (1)  (4/1 +20%)El Saviour |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) El Saviour 4/1, Runner-up on his sole outing in Irish points in April 2022 and went one better in novice at Warwick on his hurdles debut last month, asserting final 100 yds. Enters calculations with improvement to come. Made winning rules debut in run-of-the-mill Warwick novice last month; should progress. |
|||
12th (3)  (250/1 -279%)Crac De Megaudais |
250/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Crac De Megaudais 250/1, Has offered little in a pair of novice hurdles so far, again finishing well held at Warwick last month. Application of tongue strap not enough to tempt. Not beaten that far at Warwick last month but significant improvement needed here. |
|||
13th (2)  (125/1 -525%)Berlais Du George |
125/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Berlais Du George 125/1, Down the field only start in bumpers but, after 8 months off, shaped better sent hurdling when fourth of 8 in C&D novice in October. However, well held at Fontwell next time so needs to leave his latest effort behind. Ran quite well over C&D on hurdle debut but others have much stronger claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Fairly useful Flat-racer JUNKANOO seemed to take very well to hurdling when second at Ascot last month and looks the one to beat.

1st (7)  (5/2 -53%)Oxygen |
5/2(-53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Oxygen 5/2, Winner of a newcomers' event over hurdles in France in 2021. Made a low-key start for his current connections last season but stepped up massively back over fences when justifying strong support at Lingfield on his return last month. One to keep on the right side of now. French hurdle winner on soft; pleasing chase debut win over 2m4f; up 8lb; has potential. |
|||
2nd (5)  (2/1 +56%)Pepe Le Moko |
2/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pepe Le Moko 2/1, Showed fair form over hurdles and proved a different proposition sent chasing after 10 months off when scoring at Warwick (20f, heavy) just under 6 weeks ago. Still lightly raced and capable of going close in his follow-up bid. Looked the part when winning chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft); up 10lb; major player. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/2 +10%)Scarface |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Scarface 9/2, Recorded a brace of small-field novice hurdle victories last year. Return/debut over fences at Ascot was disappointing (made novicey mistakes) but showed more aptitude when third of 4 at Wincanton (15.7f, soft) last month. Should benefit from going back up in trip. Not yet matched best hurdle form at about 2m5f since chasing but likely to progress. |
|||
4th (2)  (28/1 -155%)Mullinaree |
28/1(-155%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mullinaree 28/1, Form took off when equipped with a hood and tongue strap combination, completing a five-timer at Hexham (20.1f) in June. Below par after 4 months off at Chepstow in October (final run for Milton Harris) but didn't jump well enough sent chasing at Kempton recently. Won 5 hurdles in 2023; pulled far too hard on chase debut for new yard and paid the price. |
|||
5th (1)  (5/1 +17%)Hardy Fella |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hardy Fella 5/1, Progressive over longer trips as a hurdler last year and surpassed his achievements in that sphere at the second attempt over fences when scrambling home at Fontwell (19.5f, soft) last month. Capable of better again. Won 3m hurdle in April; ran well for long way on chase debut; all out for 2m3f win since. |
|||
6th (8)  (33/1 -175%)Godot |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Godot 33/1, Off the mark in a course maiden in April and decisive when following up in handicap company at Kempton (21f) in May. Not so good on both starts since returning from 6 months off and he looks a likely outside with attentions turned to the larger obstacles. Cheekpieces on. Dual winning hurdler in the spring; below best since break; tough chase debut. |
|||
7th (6)  (9/1 +25%)Monjules |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Monjules 9/1, Progressive for this yard last season, winning 3 handicap hurdles. Given a break and returned at least as good as ever when runner-up at this track (20.5f, good to soft) 6 weeks ago. One to look out for on chasing debut. Hurdling for nearly 3 yrs; good 2m4f run latest; tough chase debut against promising types. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A very interesting race with several looking promising over fences. This can lie between Pepe Le Moko and OXYGEN.

1st (6)  (10/3 -11%)Fierce Warrior |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fierce Warrior 10/3, Sholokhov gelding who left debut form behind as he got off the mark in 8-runner bumper at Worcester (2m) in May. Didn't look straightforward when midfield in 14-runner maiden hurdle at Market Rasen on return 32 days ago but too soon to be writing him off. Bumper winner; didn't jump well enough when only fifth on hurdle debut; can do better. |
|||
2nd (10)  (10/3 -11%)Menaggio |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Menaggio 10/3, Showed ability amidst greenness when sixth in big-field Newbury bumper on debut in March and similarly offered something to work on when fifth on hurdles bow at Kempton (21f) 5 weeks ago. Can do better again for good yard. Promising fifth in stronger race than this on hurdle debut at Kempton; might be the answer. |
|||
3rd (2)  (10/3 +0%)Bentley's Return |
10/3(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bentley's Return 10/3, Showed fair form when reaching the frame on 3 of his 4 bumper starts last season and offered something to work on despite making a bad mistake 4 out when third on hurdles bow at Fontwell (19.2f) in October. Open to improvement. Placed in two spring bumpers and made promising hurdle debut in October; likely contender. |
|||
4th (9)  (9/1 +25%)Koenigsstern |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Koenigsstern 9/1, Dual winning pointer, fell last time (April 10). Very easy to back but showed plenty of ability making hurdles debut when fourth in an Exeter novice (16.7f) on hurdles debut 4 weeks ago. Entitled to do better stepping up in trip. Dual point winner; moves up in trip after quite promising rules debut last month. |
|||
5th (7)  (9/4 +0%)In D'or |
9/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) In D'or 9/4, €140,000 purchase from France who ran below best when third on yard debut at Fontwell (19.2f) in January. However, returns with yard going great guns and pick of his form in this sphere gives him sound claims. Placed twice in France last year and on British debut in January; a possible. |
|||
6th (12)  (150/1 -200%)Vendant |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Vendant 150/1, Vendangeur gelding. Placed in points but well held only start in bumpers and never threatened on C&D hurdles bow 6 weeks ago. In rear throughout over C&D when switched to hurdling last month. |
|||
7th (8)  (14/1 -100%)Jack Sparrow Grey |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jack Sparrow Grey 14/1, Kap Rock gelding. 6/1, fifth of 7 in bumper at Sandown (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 36 days ago, shaping as if the experience would bring him on. Up in trip for hurdles debut. Not beaten far when fifth of seven in Sandown bumper last month; hurdle debut today. |
|||
8th (5)  (200/1 +0%)D'ambonnay |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) D'ambonnay 200/1, Well held in a brace of bumpers 20 months apart and fared no better on last month's hurdling debut at Lingfield (19.5f). Struggled when a big-priced outsider for last month's hurdling debut. |
|||
9th (13)  (200/1 +0%)Vintage Icon |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Vintage Icon 200/1, Offered little in 3 bumpers and similar story on Lingfield hurdles debut 18 days ago. Hood on now upped in trip. Well beaten in all three bumpers and also on recent hurdle debut at Lingfield. |
|||
10th (3)  (80/1 -60%)Captain Howse |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Captain Howse 80/1, Modest handicapper on Flat, successful at 2m. Weakened quickly on belated return/stable debut at Lingfield (15.7f) last month and he's probably best watched now hurdling for the first time. Ran very poorly on the Flat last month; can only be watched on hurdling debut. |
|||
11th (1)  (200/1 +0%)Azolo |
200/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Azolo 200/1, Big prices and well held in bumper/novice hurdle to date. Pulled up when 250-1 for recent hurdle debut at Exeter (2m). |
|||
|PU| (4)  (200/1 -506%)Churchtown Gigi |
200/1(-506%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Churchtown Gigi 200/1, Vita Venturi gelding. Winning Irish pointer, pulled up last 2 starts (latest Mar 19). Likely outsider on Rules/hurdles debut. Won Irish point on debut but pulled up on next two starts in that sphere; rules debut. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (200/1 -100%)No No Espresso |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) No No Espresso 200/1, Little show in a pair of bumpers/sole start over hurdles to date. Showed only glimmers of promise in bumpers and was pulled up on hurdling debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This looks weaker than the Kempton novice in which MENAGGIO finished fifth on last month's seasonal/hurdle debut and he gets the nod.

1st (6)  (10/1 +17%)Milan Bridge |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Milan Bridge 10/1, Last of 7 in handicap chase at Leicester (22.7f, good to soft, 9/1) 28 days ago, going in snatches. He's hard to make a case for. Useful staying hurdler for P Nicholls; not same proposition over fences, inc for new yard. |
|||
2nd (8)  (6/1 +25%)Special Acceptance |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Special Acceptance 6/1, C&D winner who arrives on the back of a good second of 7 in handicap at Huntingdon (23.6f, good to soft) 34 days ago, clear of rest. Player with that form having been franked. Back to form on last 2 starts; has a good course record; this is likely to be run to suit. |
|||
3rd (7)  (6/1 +40%)Henschke |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Henschke 6/1, Scored over C&D in May but pulled up in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft) 25 days ago. Sort to bounce back. C&D winner in May but pulled up a fair way out on return from break in November. |
|||
4th (10)  (3/1 +45%)Guguss Collonges |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Guguss Collonges 3/1, Bagged his second win of the season in 15-runner handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 18 days ago, digging deep. This course winner merits serious consideration. In good form back chasing; kept finding over 2m7f latest; easy lead unlikely over new trip. |
|||
5th (1)  (7/1 -27%)I See You Well |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) I See You Well 7/1, 5-time C&D winner, including in this event in 2021. 22/1, only sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Ascot (23.8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Still merits consideration back here though. Five C&D wins, including two of the last 4 runnings of this race; weighted to go well. |
|||
6th (4)  (18/1 -80%)Sublime Heights |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Sublime Heights 18/1, C&D winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap chase (14/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 42 days ago so needs to bounce back. Three course wins last winter, two over C&D, but this campaign has not started well. |
|||
7th (9)  (12/1 +40%)Uallrightharry |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Uallrightharry 12/1, C&D winner. 66/1, below form ninth of 15 to Guguss Collonges in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Unreliable type. Ended losing run with another C&D win last December; mixed since; below best last 3 runs. |
|||
|U| (3)  (9/2 +10%)Movethechains |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Movethechains 9/2, Took a step back in the right direction when third of 5 in handicap chase (11/2) at Fontwell (27.7f, soft) 29 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. One to consider. Has needed excuses since latest win in February 2022; now goes in first-time headgear. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (17/2 -89%)Almazhar Garde |
17/2(-89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Almazhar Garde 17/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good to soft, 11/2) 24 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. Four chase wins at up to 2m7f, most recently in early 2021; not in peak form of late. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
I See You Well is respected but this race should set up well for SPECIAL ACCEPTANCE who ran so well on his Huntingdon reappearance.

1st (5)  (4/1 +20%)Commanding View |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Commanding View 4/1, Some promise in 2 bumper outings and progressed with each start over hurdles, sixth of 17 in Warwick novice (2m, heavy) on qualifying run 6 weeks ago. Feasible to think he can do better again now handicapping. Respected for in-form yard. Made quite promising seasonal debut last month; makes handicap debut today; considered. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3/1 +10%)Tellmesomethingood |
3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tellmesomethingood 3/1, Low-mileage 5-y-o who wasn't disgraced following 8 months off when third of 9 on handicap debut at Lingfield (2m) in November. Entitled to come on for that run and worth noting if the betting speaks in his favour again. Unable to justifty favouritim when third on handicap debut, but that was still a good run. |
|||
3rd (10)  (6/1 +25%)Embolden |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Embolden 6/1, Course winner who made the frame for third successive start when runner-up over C&D in October. Shaped as if still in good form upped in trip when seventh at Lingfield (19.5f) 18 days ago, finding test too much. Not out of things re-united with James Bowen. Didn't fire last time but now 4lb lower than when winning here in April; can't rule out. |
|||
4th (4)  (12/1 -20%)Angel's Dream |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Angel's Dream 12/1, Debut 13f Flat winner in France. Much improved on third hurdles start when landing a C&D maiden in May but well beaten both starts in handicaps upon returning to action in recent weeks. Soundly beaten in two handicaps last month but now back at the scene of his maiden win. |
|||
5th (2)  (5/1 -11%)Atreides |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Atreides 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden who confirmed return to form when third of 11 in handicap at Taunton (19f) 18 days ago, losing second on run-in. Drop in trip won't inconvenience him on that evidence and worth a second look. Placed on last two of three starts for this stable and remains lightly raced; major player. |
|||
6th (9)  (16/1 -60%)Privatory |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Privatory 16/1, Dual 2m winner but below par in 2022/23 and he ran no sort of race back from 6 months off at Fakenham (2m) 5 weeks ago. Mark has tumbled at least if refitted blinkers can revitalise him. One of 3 runners from this yard. Struggling from fairly early stage on latest outing; blinkers refitted here. |
|||
7th (6)  (25/1 -285%)Super Dawn |
25/1(-285%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Super Dawn 25/1, Point winner who has displayed definite signs of promise in mares' novice/maiden hurdles, catching the eye when midfield in 14-runner contest at Lingfield (2m) 18 days ago. Promises to do better again now handicapping. One to note. 1-11 in points; ran quite well on rules debut but yet to build on that performance. |
|||
8th (8)  (66/1 -100%)Martin Spirit |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Martin Spirit 66/1, Winner over fences in France and has hit the crossbar several times over hurdles. However, well held on the Flat at Epsom in October and fared no better back over hurdles at Lingfield (2m) 4 weeks ago, losing touch soon after 3 out. Struggled at Lingfield last month and is now 0-22 over hurdles. |

9th (1)  (15/2 -67%)Tara Iti |
15/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tara Iti 15/2, C&D winner who recorded a career-best display when adding to his tally at Fontwell (17.7f) in June. Hasn't quite scaled same heights in trio of starts following a break but the assessor has relinquished his grip a little ahead of this. Four-time hurdle winner; not quite at best when fourth on last couple of outings. |
|||
|U| (7)  (15/2 +32%)Birdman Bob |
15/2(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Birdman Bob 15/2, Found some improvement when opening his account on return in a C&D handicap last month but struggled to make an impact upped in grade at Lingfield (2m) subsequently. Present mark demands that bit more. Hard-fought C&D winner on last month's seasonal debut; well held since, though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This can go to ATREIDES (nap), who posted two good efforts last month and remains lightly raced. Commanding View is feared most.

1st (1)  (9/4 +65%)Sir Rock |
9/4(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sir Rock 9/4, Irish point winner who made all over hurdles at Fontwell (21.7f) in May. Refused to race there on his return but got back on track with two solid efforts at Stratford and Huntingdon since. Not discounted now going chasing. Irish point winner; switched to chasing after two good efforts over hurdles this autumn. |
|||
2nd (9)  (7/1 +22%)Shaw's Cross |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shaw's Cross 7/1, Veteran gained his first success over fences at Plumpton (17f) for Paul Henderson in January. Not disgraced when in the frame in handicaps at Fakenham and Lingfield for his new yard this term. Can go well again. Course winner in January and both runs for new stable last month were very respectable. |
|||
3rd (4)  (16/1 -100%)Brown Bullet |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Brown Bullet 16/1, Off 6 months/cheekpieces on for 1st time when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Fontwell (19.2f, soft) 29 days ago. Switches to fences and no forlorn hope. Won off 5lb higher over hurdles here in March but looks risky on this return to chasing. |
|||
4th (7)  (9/1 +10%)Eurkash |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Eurkash 9/1, Went backwards from a tough race on his reappearance when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) 20 days ago. It's now 13 starts since his last success too. Went down fighting at Warwick two runs ago but remains without a win since 2020. |
|||
5th (10)  (11/1 -120%)Cobbs Corner |
11/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cobbs Corner 11/1, Handicap hurdle winner last autumn. Made an encouraging start in this sphere when fourth of 10 at Hereford on return. Badly hampered and unseated rider 8th there since so he's well worth another chance. Made quite promising seasonal/chase debut but on the back foot when brought down last time. |
|||
6th (3)  (11/2 -83%)Methusalar |
11/2(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Methusalar 11/2, Hurdles winner for Alan King (at 19.5f) in spring 2022 and has got back on track of late since switched to fences, still to be asked for his effort when unseating rider 2 out at Sedgefield last month. Player. Was stalking the leaders before coming to grief last time; remains on good mark; respected. |
|||
7th (11)  (16/1 +52%)Noah's Light |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Noah's Light 16/1, Arrives below par, visored for 1st time when sixth of 12 in handicap chase (33/1) at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Others appeal more. Won over hurdles in Ireland in November 2021 but very disappointing for this stable since. |
|||
8th (2)  (16/1 -220%)Who Is That |
16/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Who Is That 16/1, Scored at Fontwell in April and running well when fell 3 out in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good to soft) following month. Off 7 months but still very much one to consider. Triple chase winner last season; not seen since taking a fall in May. |
|||
9th (6)  (5/1 +38%)West Orchard |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) West Orchard 5/1, C&D winner. 9/2, pulled up in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 21 days ago though and he's an ureliable individual on the whole. Jumped well and made all here last month but it's not always that straightforward with him. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (14/1 +0%)Boys Of Wexford |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Boys Of Wexford 14/1, A fair 2m4f winner at his best but yet to hit top form this term, only fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f, heavy, 8/1) 26 days ago. Needs to step forward. Travelled well for a long way on latest outing and has become well handicapped. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (33/1 -83%)Elpologreg |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Elpologreg 33/1, Made a low-key start to his chasing career when a well-held fourth of 5 in handicap chase (25/1) at Fakenham (21.2f, good to soft) on debut over fences 27 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Well beaten when fourth on last month's chase/handicap debut; needs a big step forward. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Peter Bowen's METHUSALAR has slipped to a very good mark and might well have taken advantage had he not unseated his rider last time.

12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ellie's Warrior 12/1, Walk In The Park filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Sometimes Always.

16/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chase Park 16/1, Absent for 18 months after her Ludlow debut fourth but she again showed promise when filling the same position on her return at Huntingdon at the end of October.

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.
