---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (7/4 +13%) Epic West |
7/4(+13%) | (1) Epic West 7/4, €60,000 Irish point recruit who made a successful start to his hurdle career at Carlisle (17f, good to soft) last month. Almost certainly capable of better again and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty. Maintained his gallop to win by over 7l at Carlisle (soft) and looks a good prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (125/1 -279%) Clearisthewater |
125/1(-279%) | (5) Clearisthewater 125/1, Point winner but hasn't shown enough in his 3 bumper starts to think he's likely to make a successful start to his hurdle career now. Point winner; beaten about 15l in his two best bumper runs; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (150/1 -88%) Kingston Bresil |
150/1(-88%) | (9) Kingston Bresil 150/1, Has hinted at ability in 2 bumpers/hurdles but unlikely to come into his own until handicapping. Opposable on bumper exploits and hasn't improved for going hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (100/1 +0%) King Of Highways |
100/1(+0%) | (8) King Of Highways 100/1, Comfortably held in 2 bumpers and a novice hurdle. Andashan looks very much the yard first string. Ran okay in his first bumper but tailed off in the second and again on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (13/2 -30%) Touquet |
13/2(-30%) | (2) Touquet 13/2, Bumper winner last November who returned from wind surgery to make a successful hurdle debut over C&D in October. Too keen when stepped up markedly in trip at Ascot since and should benefit from this return to shorter. Also has a hood refitted. C&D winner who was too headstrong at Ascot; respected with the hood back on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (66/1 -371%) Low Expectations |
66/1(-371%) | (10) Low Expectations 66/1, Promising third of 11 in a Downpatrick bumper for Paul Nolan in September. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him now hurdling for new connections. Also hooded for his sole run in Ireland when a staying-on third in a Downpatrick bumper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (80/1 -60%) Dotties Star |
80/1(-60%) | (6) Dotties Star 80/1, Third a bumper at the start of her career but only modest on the Flat since and likely outsider now hurdling. Showed promise in bumpers but essentially modest on the Flat (0-14) thereafter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (200/1 +0%) Eklil |
200/1(+0%) | (7) Eklil 200/1, Three-time winner on the Flat but hasn't shown much in 3 attempts over hurdles, finishing down the field over C&D latest. Flat form deteriorated this year and he was 250-1 when tailed off here a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (6/1 -100%) Westerton |
6/1(-100%) | (12) Westerton 6/1, Useful Flat winner. Only modest form 2 hurdles this autumn but there's surely a bigger performance in him in this sphere before long. Wears first-time blinkers. Given quality Flat form he's been underwhelming in two runs over hurdles; tries blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (11/10 +60%) Andashan |
11/10(+60%) | (3) Andashan 11/10, Made a winning bumper debut at Kempton in February and bettered that form when third of 20 in a valuable event at Newbury 6 weeks later. Rates a decent hurdle prospect for a stable which gets lots of winners here. Good bumper form; makes hurdling debut and yard has a good record in this race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (200/1 -33%) Chateau Du Lys |
200/1(-33%) | (4) Chateau Du Lys 200/1, Runner-up sole start in points but no short-term promise on last month's Ffos Las hurdle debut. Tongue tied first time. Second in a point but tailed off in a Ffos Las novice hurdle when 150-1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (150/1 -20%) Milan Milos |
150/1(-20%) | (11) Milan Milos 150/1, Made frame first of 3 starts in bumpers for Tom Weston but distant fifth in 2 hurdles for this yard last month. Some bumper promise but has achieved nothing in his two runs over hurdles; very opposable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
EPIC WEST, who swapped hands for 60,000 euros after winning a point-to-point in March, impressed with a ready success on his hurdles debut at Carlisle last month and is a highly appealing option given his strong physique suggests a 7lb penalty shouldn't be too much of an issue. Touquet, a C&D winner on his penultimate start, can surely do better than he managed at Ascot subsequently and also commands respect. Westerton looks the pick of the remainder.
ANDASHAN laid a good platform for hurdling in 2 bumper runs in the spring and is taken to make the most of the 7 lb he receives from last month's Carlisle scorer Epic West. Westerton's Flat ability suggests it's only a matter of time before he posts a bigger performance over hurdles and he could also have a say if reacting positively to blinkers.
Not many of these should count. Chris Gordon has an eyecatching record in this race and ANDASHAN had good form in bumpers.

1st (3) (11/4 +21%) Alien Storm |
11/4(+21%) | (3) Alien Storm 11/4, Made a winning chase debut over 17f here in September and backed it up with a solid third of 6 in handicap chase at Kempton (2¼m) 4 weeks later. Latest Doncaster third was no more than respectable, though. Both wins have come here; respectable in defeat the last twice and not far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/1 +13%) Hugos New Horse |
7/1(+13%) | (2) Hugos New Horse 7/1, Five-time hurdle winner in a very productive 2022/23 campaign but has lost his way since, faring no better for wind surgery on Newbury reappearance. Remains to be seen if a switch to fences sparks him back to life. 5-12 over hurdles; comeback run could have put him spot-on for today's chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6/4 +70%) Diplomatic Ash |
6/4(+70%) | (6) Diplomatic Ash 6/4, Fair maiden hurdler. Hampered and unseated early on chase debut/reappearance so effectively having his first start of the season when fourth of 8 in a 2½m Lingfield handicap chase 5 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for the outing and should go well. Promising fourth on second chase attempt and there should be further improvement to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (6/1 0%) D'jo Dela Barriere |
6/1(0%) | (5) D'jo Dela Barriere 6/1, Struck at the second time of asking for Evan Williams in 2m Hereford novice hurdle last month. Showed promise in a chase in Ireland last spring and respected now moving into handicap company. Picked up a weak novice hurdle; pointing background bodes well for this switch to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (7/2 -27%) Dubrovnik Harry |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Dubrovnik Harry 7/2, Low-mileage 8-y-o who ran well on 2 of his 3 starts in handicap hurdles last season. Third in his previous chase a couple of years ago. Has gone well fresh before. Beaten fav in previous chase two years ago; hurdling form is much respected. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A low-mileage eight-year-old, DUBROVNIK HARRY contested deeper races over timber and may find this level provides him with an ideal test of stamina for his return to fences. A respectable third on his only previous chase start, Harry Fry's charge appeals with his potential still untapped in this discipline. D'jo Dela Barriere is notable after his facile hurdles success over 2m at Hereford. Course winner Alien Storm also enters the reckoning.
DIPLOMATIC ASH is entitled to build on what was effectively his chase debut and reappearance at Lingfield and is preferred to the returning Dubrovnik Harry.
A tight handicap. ALIEN STORM (nap) is back at the scene for both his wins and returning to further looks a good move.

1st (3) (4/1 -45%) Jail No Bail |
4/1(-45%) | (3) Jail No Bail 4/1, Shaped with encouragement when fifth in a Chepstow bumper in November 2022. Amiss on hurdling debut the following month but much better effort when third at Wincanton 11 months on. Off a further 12 months but should have more to offer. Improved third at Wincanton 13 months ago; strong claims if returning in the same form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (13/8 -8%) Ken Roy |
13/8(-8%) | (4) Ken Roy 13/8, Fair form when third in 2 bumpers earlier in the year. Shaped like a stayer when fourth on hurdles bow over 19.5f at Lingfield last month and upped slightly in trip here, there should be plenty more to come. Similar form in his three races and he's up to winning something like this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (15/8 +77%) Bold Recruit |
15/8(+77%) | (1) Bold Recruit 15/8, Five-race maiden pointer but showed fair form when runner-up in a pair of bumpers at the start of the summer. Didn't achieve a great deal despite occupying same spot on hurdles debut at Hereford last month but he's capable of better upped in trip. The form of his last two races have been franked and he should hold a good chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (13/2 +54%) Minella Kaiser |
13/2(+54%) | (5) Minella Kaiser 13/2, Second foal, dam, maiden hurdler/over fences who became temperamental (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3½m) Mattock Ranger. Placed on first of 2 starts in Irish points, last of 8 finishers last time (Apr 7). Placed in one of his Irish points and he's joined a good yard for rules action. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (100/1 -100%) Laddie Cooper Mia |
100/1(-100%) | (7) Laddie Cooper Mia 100/1, Shaped like a stayer in 3 bumpers and remote second of 4 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) on hurdles bow last month. Wasn't seen to best effect at Lingfield but looks a longer-term project. A distance behind the winner when second at Sedgefield and a similar story at Lingfield. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (40/1 -186%) Rocks Up Late |
40/1(-186%) | (6) Rocks Up Late 40/1, €52,000 3-y-o, Vadamos gelding. Dam (h107), 2m hurdle winner, half-sister to high-class hurdler/useful unbeaten chase winner (stayed 21f) Wicklow Brave. Makes appeal on pedigree but pulled up sole start in points and little short-term promise in a Sedgefield bumper last month. Up in trip. Odds-on when pulled up in his point and only 100-30 when beaten 9l in a Sedgefield bumper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (40/1 -60%) Jack Sparrow Grey |
40/1(-60%) | (2) Jack Sparrow Grey 40/1, Mere glimmers of ability in a Sandown bumper and a C&D novice last winter. Off a year and never involved on return to action over 2m here a fortnight ago. Not a bad debut in a Sandown bumper but hasn't built on that in two hurdles here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (50/1 -127%) Onomaris |
50/1(-127%) | (8) Onomaris 50/1, Dunaden mare. Dam (h67) bumper winner. Minor promise on debut at Lingfield 18 days ago and should know more this time. Fourth of the nine runners at Lingfield (2m3f, soft) but trailed the winner by 31l. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Bold Recruit has been consistent by finishing second on his three previous starts under Rules. However, that tendency to find one too good brings enough doubt to cast a vote for the Paul Nicholls-trained KEN ROY, who is in the right hands to make progress and is entitled to be sharper after his jumping bow on his return to action at Lingfield. Jail No Bail and Onomaris are a couple of other potential improvers to consider.
Having shown a fair level of ability in bumpers, KEN ROY made a sound start to his hurdles career when fourth at Lingfield a month ago. Sure to build on that with that slightly longer trip in his favour, he looks the answer in favour of Jail No Bail and Bold Recruit.
The suggestion is BOLD RECRUIT who has had the form of his last two races franked in a big way.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (6/5 +13%) Lady Balko |
6/5(+13%) | (1) Lady Balko 6/5, On a roll in handicap hurdles last season, completing a hat-trick at up to 3m. Shaped as if needing the run on return/chase debut and marked herself as a young staying chaser to follow when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 2 weeks ago. Will improve again. Made all for an easy win over C&D recently; 9lb rise to deal with but hard to fault. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (14/1 -460%) Northern Poet |
14/1(-460%) | (3) Northern Poet 14/1, Recorded a hat-trick switched to fences in the second half of 2022/23. Seen only 3 times last season and ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces when second of 4 to Copperhead at this C&D (good to firm) back in May. Has gone well fresh previously so he's a likely contender (has had a wind op). The form of his latest second here in May reads well; has since had a wind operation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (4/1 +33%) Sadler's Bay |
4/1(+33%) | (6) Sadler's Bay 4/1, Fair maiden hurdler who took well to fences season, finishing runner-up in 3m handicaps at Southwell and Exeter. Wasn't disgraced after 10 months off when third at Market Rasen (21.4f, soft) recently and that should've blown away any cobwebs. Tongue tie applied. Latest third at Market Rasen was after 308 days away and over a trip short of his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/2 +31%) Village Master |
9/2(+31%) | (4) Village Master 9/2, Won first 5 outings over fences. latest in 26f handicap at Fontwell in June. Had another wind op prior to return and lost his unbeaten record in this sphere with a whimper after 5 months off at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Must bounce back fitted with cheekpieces. Won his first five chases and latest run after a break was too bad to be true. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (28/1 -180%) Foxboro |
28/1(-180%) | (2) Foxboro 28/1, Proved at least as good as ever when scoring at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) 12 months ago but laboured efforts on his next 3 starts. Has since switched yards ahead of this return so a watching brief advised with usual headgear discarded. Strong stayer but inconsistent and has changed yards; usually wears some headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (33/1 -175%) Born At Midnight |
33/1(-175%) | (5) Born At Midnight 33/1, Dual C&D winner and he signed off last season with a good second of 11 in handicap chase at this C&D in the spring. Proved easy to back after 8 months off and looked very rusty here (soft) a fortnight ago and now first-time cheekpieces go on. Excellent record over C&D but he ran very flat in Lady Balko's race here two weeks ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LADY BALKO relished the step up in trip when landing the spoils over C&D a fortnight ago. That was just the five-year-old's second outing over fences and she scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 9lb hike in the ratings won't prevent her from following up. Village Master racked up a five-timer earlier in the year and he can be excused his reappearance when pulled up at Ffos Las after being hampered twice. Warren Greatrex's charge is feared most, ahead of the returning Northern Poet.
LADY BALKO marked herself as a young chaser to follow when scooting clear over C&D a fortnight ago, so she's taken to defy a 9 lb rise at the expense of Sadler's Bay, who wasn't disgraced after 10 months off when third at Market Rasen recently and now heads back up in trip fitted with a first-time tongue tie. Northern Poet has gone well fresh previously, so he completes the shortlist.
Lady Balko is hard to knock but one who might get the better of her is SADLER'S BAY, who certainly deserves a break.

1st (10) (10/1 +0%) Eliza Dolittle |
10/1(+0%) | (10) Eliza Dolittle 10/1, Maiden hurdler who came in a well-held third of 5 in 2m3f Fontwell handicap 29 days ago. More is required. Dropped to 2m3f last time at Fontwell and appeared to get outpaced in that 13l defeat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/1 -133%) Tara Iti |
7/1(-133%) | (4) Tara Iti 7/1, Course winner who arrives in good nick, second of 4 in selling hurdle here (15.9f, good) 28 days ago. Up in trip and enters calculations once more. Beaten in sellers the last twice but looks in good enough form to make presence felt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (17/2 -113%) Mutley Crew |
17/2(-113%) | (8) Mutley Crew 17/2, Took a big step forward on her handicap bow when scoring at Fontwell (19f) in October, asserting late on. Up 6 lb but she's well in the mix after a break. Took some driving but got there in the end on handicap debut at Fontwell; up 6lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/2 -7%) Macari |
15/2(-7%) | (1) Macari 15/2, Course winner. Below-form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle over C&D 14 days ago. Sort to bounce back though. Running well until his run here two weeks ago; likely to threaten at this lower level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (80/1 -400%) Jewel Eyed Judy |
80/1(-400%) | (5) Jewel Eyed Judy 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden who offered little after 7 months off when sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, soft) 25 days ago. Much more required now going into handicaps. Goes handicapping off a low mark but with it all to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (28/1 +44%) Onnaroll |
28/1(+44%) | (11) Onnaroll 28/1, Remains a maiden after 20 runs and he came in only sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, good) 41 days ago. Up in trip with work to do. Longstanding maiden who has struggled to get competitive this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (8/1 +50%) Trevor's Lad |
8/1(+50%) | (3) Trevor's Lad 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 15 in handicap at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Possibilities. The best of his five runs was on debut when placed in a Fontwell novice; must step up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (5/4 +50%) Whynotnowroy |
5/4(+50%) | (7) Whynotnowroy 5/4, Signed off for Keiran Burke with 2m5f Fontwell success in May and resumed for his new stable with an excellent second of 10 in handicap hurdle there 29 days ago. Leading claims off an unchanged mark. Probably bumped into one well treated at Fontwell; respected off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (50/1 +0%) Simon The Seagull |
50/1(+0%) | (9) Simon The Seagull 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who was pulled up in handicap here (25f) in April. Needs to take a major step forward on his seasonal return. Hasn't shown much at all in his five races, including a handicap over 3m1f; opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (10/1 +50%) Red Windsor |
10/1(+50%) | (2) Red Windsor 10/1, Sole success came over 2 years ago and arrives on back of poor efforts in cheekpieces at Warwick and Wincanton recently. Visor is reached for now. Very well handicapped but for good reason after his struggles this past 12 months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (66/1 -164%) Feach Amach |
66/1(-164%) | (6) Feach Amach 66/1, Struck at the third time of asking over hurdles at Sedgefield last November but has failed to kick on in handicaps subsequently, though, coming in last of 12 on her return. Tongue tied now with lots to prove. Juvenile winner; not much of a threat in five handicaps, especially last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A 6lb rise for MUTLEY CREW's victory at Fontwell looks on the lenient side. The second added substance to the form when runner-up at Uttoxeter and Robert Walford's unexposed mare should prove tough to beat. Whynotnowroy found only a handicap debutant too strong at Fontwell and isn't taken lightly racing off an unchanged mark. Jewel Eyed Judy is worth a market check on her entry into handicap company.
WHYNOTNOWROY made a promising start for Neil Mulholland when runner-up at Fontwell last month and is weighted to go one better here. Mutley Crew looked an improved model when going in at the same track in October and is feared most after a break, while course winner Tara Iti and the lightly-raced Trevor's Lad can also have a say.
After bumping into one on a good mark on her recent stable debut, WHYNOTNOWROY is taken to go one better.

1st (2) (6/4 +8%) I Shut That D'or |
6/4(+8%) | (2) I Shut That D'or 6/4, Returned to form when scoring over C&D last month and was only collared close home in follow-up bid at Wincanton (20.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Likely contender. C&D winner who jumped to his left when narrowly beaten at Wincanton; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (16/1 +43%) Shaw's Cross |
16/1(+43%) | (6) Shaw's Cross 16/1, Veteran who gained his first chasing success at this course (17f) in January 2023. Rather hit-and-miss since, though, and makes limited appeal. 2 lb out of the handicap. Hasn't threatened in eight starts since going close in this race 12 months ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (25/1 -233%) Pleasure Garden |
25/1(-233%) | (4) Pleasure Garden 25/1, Fair 4-time winner at up to 2m on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott. Followed winning chase debut at this course (17f) in April 2023 with a couple of respectable efforts in defeat but he's entitled to need this run on the back of a 18-month absence. Course winner in good form when last seen; market helpful returning from 545 days away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/2 -100%) Mutual Respect |
11/2(-100%) | (3) Mutual Respect 11/2, Won back-to-back handicaps at Worcester and Bangor this autumn and arrives on back of creditable second of 6 at Sedgefield (16.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Races off same mark here and holds solid claims. Bang in form and still competitively treated; today's longer distance won't faze him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (18/1 +10%) Millies Mite |
18/1(+10%) | (5) Millies Mite 18/1, Seemed suited by the switch to prominent tactics when off the mark at the twenty-seventh attempt at Fontwell (19.5f) in April. However, she has failed to fire more recently, including on recent return at Lingfield. Hasn't kicked in from her Fontwell win over this far in April and she's now 1-31 overall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (9/4 +44%) Hidalgo Des Bordes |
9/4(+44%) | (1) Hidalgo Des Bordes 9/4, Made a winning debut over fences at Exeter (17.5f) in April and back to that sort of form when creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f) in May. Remains low mileage and warrants respect on return. Had wind operation. Two of his three chase runs have been good; might just be high enough in the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not beaten far in his attempt to land a double at Wincanton last month, I SHUT THAT D'OR was a comfortable winner over C&D on his penultimate outing and a return to this track is a major plus. A mark of 100 still looks manageable and he is preferred to Hidalgo Des Bordes, who has had wind surgery since finishing third at Fontwell in May. A winner twice before occupying the runner-up berth at Sedgefield, Mutual Respect is another key player.
Course-winner I SHUT THAT D'OR confirmed his return to form at Wincanton last month and still looks fairly treated. He can land the spoils. Mutual Respect rates the chief threat.
This may go the way of I SHUT THAT D'OR who might well have followed up his C&D win at Wincanton had he not kept jumping left.

1st (6) (11/2 -22%) Easy Love |
11/2(-22%) | (6) Easy Love 11/2, Cost €80,000 after winning an Irish point in April and showed a bit when fourth on Rules debut at Ffos Las in November. Should build on that. Irish point winner; a beaten favourite at Ffos Las but shaped with promise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/1 -11%) Appleshaw |
5/1(-11%) | (1) Appleshaw 5/1, Kayf Tara mare. Dam 11f/1½m winner. Tongue tied. Yard does well in this sphere, so one to be interested in first time out. Headgear applied for debut but her yard won the penultimate renewal of this race. |

17/2(-6%) | (5) Comely Capri 17/2, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to 1m/9f winner Yusra. Dam South African 1m winner. Should have enough speed for this sort of test. Trained-owned half-sister to 1m AW winner Yusra (RPR 83); yard wins bumpers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A promising third at Warwick on debut in November last year, despite being slowly into stride, MUSTANG BETTY is likely to have plenty of improvement forthcoming on the rise in distance and she can get off the mark. Chique Angel was over five lengths behind the selection in fourth but still enters the reckoning, along with Appleshaw, who is an interesting newcomer for the Harry Fry team. Related to multiple winners, Media Style must also be monitored for market support first time out.
CHIQUE ANGEL has been off the track since an encouraging debut at Warwick (when very green) over a year ago and she can improve enough to open her account at the second attempt. Mustang Betty has also been off a good while since a positive start, but she's feared most ahead of the well-bred newcomer Media Style.
A chance is taken on MEDIA STYLE whose yard has a 31% strike-rate in bumpers at Plumpton. Easy Love is second choice.

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.
