1st (4)  (5/2 +9%)Springtime Promise |
5/2(+9%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Springtime Promise 5/2, No significant impact in 3 outings under Rules but she did land a couple of points in October prior to making a successful start for the Fergal O'Brien yard in a 20.5f Huntingdon mares' novice hurdle 14 days ago. Has the potential to build on that and leading claims. Likeable prospect who won on recent stable debut at Huntingdon; can go well once more. |
|||
2nd (1)  (12/1 -167%)Condesa |
12/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Condesa 12/1, Returned from a very long absence to win a 2m Perth novice hurdle in July. Seemed to find 2½m on heavy ground stretching her when remote fourth back at Perth in September but connections evidently happy to persevere at the trip. Well beaten when last seen but a break may have helped; won previously; retains potential. |
|||
3rd (6)  (5/2 +29%)Micks Jet |
5/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Micks Jet 5/2, Cheltenham bumper winner last spring who was also third in a listed bumper there in November. Ran to only a modest level when fourth on Wetherby hurdle debut on Boxing Day but she should be wiser with that experience under her belt and her bumper ability suggests she can do better. Bumper winner; only fourth at Wetherby on hurdle debut but open to improvement. |
|||
4th (2)  (5/2 -11%)Getaway Theatre |
5/2(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Getaway Theatre 5/2, Point winner who was well suited by emphasis on stamina when making a successful hurdle debut over 2¾m at Stratford in November. Hasn't matched that form in defeat since, although she did have the reopposing Southern Babylon behind her when sixth in a Haydock listed race last month. Listed sixth at Haydock last month and she's a key player now back down in grade. |
|||
5th (3)  (9/2 +31%)Southern Babylon |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Southern Babylon 9/2, 80,000 gns purchase after placing in an Irish point in May 2022 and confirmed the promise of her hurdling debut when landing 13-runner maiden at Market Rasen (20.5f) in November. Not up to a listed novice at Haydock since but can fare better back in these calmer waters. Won at Market Rasen then heavy ground may have been too much in Listed race at Haydock. |
|||
6th (8)  (66/1 -32%)Cantalupo Bella |
66/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cantalupo Bella 66/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who came in a remote third in a 17f course juvenile on her hurdle debut in November. Achieved more when mid-field in a novice at Newcastle since but unlikely to be of interest in this sphere until handicapping. The step up in trip may help on her third hurdle start, but it very much needs to. |
|||
7th (5)  (33/1 -106%)March Wind |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) March Wind 33/1, Showed fair form when runner-up in bumpers at Wetherby and Newcastle last spring but well below that level when a remote sixth on her 2m Kelso hurdle debut 12 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time. Runner-up in both bumpers; well beaten on hurdle debut but could be sharper for the run. |
|||
8th (7)  (300/1 -200%)Western Glen |
300/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Western Glen 300/1, Well held in 2 bumpers and a maiden hurdle. Hooded first time. Outsider. Well beaten at big odds in both bumpers and on last month's hurdle debut at Musselburgh. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SPRINGTIME PROMISE made a winning return to racing under Rules on her debut for Fergal O'Brien at Huntingdon a couple of weeks ago and she is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Getaway Theatre struggled in Listed company last time but should not be underestimated at this level, while Condesa and Southern Babylon are others to consider.
A few with chances in this opening mares' novice. SPRINGTIME PROMISE has the potential to build on her recent winning debut for the Fergal O'Brien yard and gets the nod. Micks Jet's bumper ability suggests she could step up on the form of her opening hurdle run at Wetherby on Boxing Day and she's second choice ahead of Getaway Theatre.
The Fergal O'Brien-trained SPRINGTIME PROMISE is taken to make it 2-2 for the yard having won at Huntingdon recently.

1st (6)  (7/2 +50%)Coup De Gold |
7/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Coup De Gold 7/2, On a long losing run but arrives in decent form, sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle here (19.8f, heavy) 14 days ago. No forlorn hope. Has very modest strike-rate but is pretty consistent and runs this track well; in the mix. |
|||
2nd (8)  (4/1 +60%)Hide Out |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hide Out 4/1, Long-standing maiden who was a creditable fourth in 2m Newcastle handicap hurdle 34 days ago. Place prospects off a 2 lb lower mark. 0-24 over hurdles but hasn't been with current yard long and ran quite well last month. |
|||
3rd (7)  (5/1 +38%)Feach Amach |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Feach Amach 5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Jim Bolger and improved plenty on opening hurdles exploits when landing C&D juvenile in November. Pulled up on her handicap debut at Wincanton since though so she has a bit to prove. Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland and won C&D juvenile hurdle in November; big player. |
|||
4th (9)  (16/1 +36%)Robin Goodfellow |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Robin Goodfellow 16/1, Maiden hurdler who came in only eighth of 12 in handicap here (19.8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Others appeal more. 100-1 third over C&D in November but unable to land a telling blow over 2m4f here recently. |
|||
5th (4)  (3/1 -84%)Silver Vision |
3/1(-84%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Silver Vision 3/1, Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when a wide-margin winner of 10-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. Leading claims under a 7 lb penalty. Not at easy one to predict but is 2lb well in under penalty for recent Kelso win. |
|||
6th (3)  (9/1 +25%)Heros De Moutiers |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Heros De Moutiers 9/1, Still a maiden and well below par tried in blinkers then a hood in handicap chases on his last two runs. Handily weighted though if this switch to hurdling sparks a resurgence. Has lost his form over fences and now reverts to hurdling; would appeal more better ground. |
|||
7th (2)  (6/1 -167%)Lady Berlais |
6/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lady Berlais 6/1, Got off the mark in 7-runner Fakenham handicap hurdle 38 days ago. Up 7 lb but she's not taken lightly in her current mood. Made all to win by 8l at Fakenham last month and an obvious contender here. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (66/1 -450%)Uberrima Fides |
66/1(-450%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Uberrima Fides 66/1, Down the field all his completed starts over hurdles and well held on most recent Flat outing at Dundalk a week ago. Lots to prove back in this sphere. Well beaten when 66-1 for handicap hurdle debut; placed in low-grade AW race since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SILVER VISION took a huge step forward when winning by 16 lengths over 2m at Kelso 12 days ago and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect under just a 7lb penalty. Lady Berlais is another last-time-out winner and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Coup De Gold and Hide Out should not be discounted.
SILVER VISION took full advantage of a tumbling mark when a wide-margin Kelso scorer last time and a 7 lb penalty doesn't look sufficient to prevent Stuart Coltherd's rejuvenated mare from following up. Dan Skelton's Lady Berlais rates the obvious threat, with in-form maiden Hide Out appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
Nigel Hawke's filly FEACH AMACH could not cope with heavy ground last time but she beat a good yardstick over C&D in November.

1st (2)  (13/2 -44%)Gandhi Maker |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gandhi Maker 13/2, Dual scorer over fences early last year, including here, and has finished in the money on all 4 completed starts since returning to action in October. Latest third off this mark at Ayr (16.5f, heavy) was a creditable effort but not sure that this step back up in trip is what he wants. 2m1f course winner who has been in good form at 2m; in the mix if seeing out the trip. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/1 -38%)Out On The Tear |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Out On The Tear 9/1, Went the wrong way over fences last term and comes here on the back of a below-par fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Doncaster (16.4f, good to soft). Looks vulnerable. Below best at Doncaster last month but encouraging reappearance previously; not discounted. |
|||
3rd (6)  (10/3 +5%)Hello Judge |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hello Judge 10/3, Winning hurdler who built on his reappearance effort to run out a good winner at Carlisle (2½m, soft) in October, displaying a good attitude in the process. Beaten favourite both starts since but will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward. Won at Carlisle in October; hasn't kicked on from that but may yet have bigger run in him. |
|||
4th (4)  (7/2 -17%)Trac |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Trac 7/2, Enjoyed an excellent season over fences last term, scoring three times, including at this venue. Resumed winning ways at Catterick (19.2f, soft) during the Christmas period and while more is needed up 5 lb, he has to enter calculations. Progressive 7yo who won at Catterick last month; may well take a 5lb rise in his stride. |
|||
5th (1)  (2/1 +29%)Stroll On By |
2/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Stroll On By 2/1, Made the frame on 4 of his 6 starts over hurdles last term and made it second time lucky in this sphere at Exeter (17.5f, soft) in October. Backed that up when third at Kempton the following month and bold show anticipated here. Won at Exeter (2m1f) on second chase start; 3rd at Kempton (2m4f) since and could go well. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (17/2 -13%)That'll Be The Day |
17/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) That'll Be The Day 17/2, Maiden hurdle winner on Rules debut back in March 2021 but little impact in various race-types since, including half-a-dozen starts in this sphere. Struggled on final few starts in Ireland and no return to form on recent stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Stroll On By should not be discounted, despite being well held at Kempton last time, but marginal preference is for TRAC. Micky Hammond's gelding returned to winning ways over 2m3f at Catterick a month ago and a 5lb rise for that success appears to be fair. The recent Ayr third Gandhi Maker edges out Hello Judge to be best of the rest.
Preference is for STROLL ON BY, who has taken well to fences and it was a stronger race than this in which he was third off a 1 lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Trac arrives here in good heart and he is feared most ahead of Hello Judge and Gandhi Maker.
The progressive TRAC (nap) made it four wins from his last eight starts when scoring at Catterick last month and can follow up today.

17/2(-113%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Moonlight Glory 17/2, All the better with a run under her belt when resuming winning ways at Newcastle (16.9f) in November. Below par at Market Rasen next time but quickly back to form when second at this course (19.8f) 26 days ago. Respected. Five-time hurdle winner; as good as ever when second over 2m4f here on Boxing Day. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/4 +10%)Horn Cape |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Horn Cape 9/4, Capitalised on the drop in grade returned to hurdling when landing a C&D handicap in determined fashion in November and resumed winning ways in 5-runner affair at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) 43 days ago. Up 4 lb but likely to give another good account. Posted career-best performance at Newcastle last month and this C&D also suits him well. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/2 +36%)Inferno Sacree |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Inferno Sacree 9/2, Highly progressive in the second half of last season and took a big step back in the right direction when fourth in 10-runner handicap at Plumpton (15.9f) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly from 2 lb lower. Won five times in first half of 2023 and further improvement not yet out of the question. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/4 +50%)Coup De Coeur |
7/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Coup De Coeur 7/4, Fairly useful over hurdles/fences in France and off the mark on these shores in a C&D novice in November. Ran at least as well in defeat back in a handicap at Wetherby (2m) last month and seems sure to go well again. Second off this mark in Wetherby handicap since comfortable C&D novice win in November. |
|||
5th (6)  (20/1 -67%)Ravenscar |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ravenscar 20/1, C&D winner who showed the benefit of her reappearance run when third of 12 at Newcastle in November. Poor efforts last 2 starts, however. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Not firing on all cylinders this season; needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
|||
6th (1)  (7/1 -133%)Barrichello |
7/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barrichello 7/1, Four-time hurdle winner in 2022 who also ran well in defeat first 3 outings over fences last term. Ended the season with a poor run at Kelso and has been a long way below his best both starts this term, including in a first-time tongue strap at Doncaster last time. Soundly beaten on latest outing but given another wind op since; on very good mark now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
HORN CAPE appreciated a drop back in trip to score at Newcastle last month and the seven-year-old, who also won over C&D earlier in the season, is capable of handling a 4lb rise from the handicapper. Coup De Coeur was runner-up on his UK handicap debut at Wetherby on Boxing Day and he is likely to enter calculations, while Moonlight Glory appears best of the remainder.
HORN CAPE arrives in the form of his life and could be up to defying a 4 lb rise for Newcastle back at a track where he has an excellent record. Coup de Coeur and Moonlight Glory are feared most.
The pick is HORN CAPE, who does not look harshly treated by a 4lb rise for last month's Newcastle win and is also suited by this C&D.

7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Escapeandevade 7/2, 7/2, finished weakly again when 16 lengths fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Ayr (16.5f, heavy) 24 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to make a difference. Finished rather weakly when fourth on both starts this season; cheekpieces refitted here. |
|||
2nd (3)  (6/4 +50%)Heritier |
6/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Heritier 6/4, Took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in November and positive start for new yard when second back over fences at Sedgefield (19.3f) on Boxing Day. Not quite in same form at Ayr since, though. Didn't fire on latest outing but ran well in defeat here on stable debut on Boxing Day. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/2 +42%)Rocco Storm |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rocco Storm 7/2, Successful 3 times over fences last season and bounced back to his best when winning handicap chase over C&D in October. Ran poorly back over hurdles since but expected to bounce back returned to fences. Ran poorly over hurdles in November but is a big player if judged on earlier C&D win. |
|||
4th (5)  (14/1 -133%)Treshnish |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Treshnish 14/1, Showed clear signs of a revival for new connections after 9 months off (formerly with Sue Smith) when fourth of 6 in handicap chase (11/1) at Hexham (15.6f, heavy) 44 days ago, folding only late on. Interesting off a falling mark. Arrested decline when fourth on stable debut but not sure to build on that performance. |
|||
|F| (1)  (9/2 -125%)The Big Jetaway |
9/2(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Big Jetaway 9/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Bangor in August. Creditable third of 7 in novice hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good, 15/8) 128 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chasing and remains with potential in this sphere. 3-5 over fences (includes C&D win); below form in September but still considered. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
THE BIG JETAWAY returns from a small break with his last appearance coming in a novice hurdle at Kelso in September. Twice a winner over fences in the summer, the drop back in trip is another positive for Donald McCain's gelding in a contest that appears to be winnable for the eight-year-old. Heritier's jumping let him down at Ayr at the start of the month, but a repeat of his second here the time before would give him every chance of bouncing back. Rocco Storm won over C&D in October and isn't one to discount.
THE BIG JETAWAY was in good order when last seen and, in a weak race back over fences, he makes the most appeal. Escapeandevade and Rocco Storm both need to bounce back from lesser efforts but the pair are well treated on their best form.
Perhaps this race will set up nicely for keen-goer HERITIER, who ran well in defeat here on his stable debut in December.

1st (8)  (11/2 +0%)Eveque |
11/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Eveque 11/2, Long-standing maiden who ran up to best when keeping on for second at Musselburgh (23.6f) 3 weeks ago, just failing. Should give another good account. Went down fighting at Musselburgh this month but is 4lb higher here and now 0-20 overall. |
|||
2nd (7)  (7/2 +50%)Coolmoyne |
7/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Coolmoyne 7/2, Maiden who has filled the frame on 3 of his 5 starts, producing a rare below-par display when seventh of 11 at Catterick (19.2f) 38 days ago. Mark has slipped a little more and he's a likely candidate to bounce back. Placed twice over 2m3f here in the autumn but has stamina to prove over new trip today. |
|||
3rd (5)  (7/2 +36%)Onestepatatime |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Onestepatatime 7/2, All 3 career wins gained over C&D, the latest a narrow success in November. Not disgraced from inflated mark either outing since, albeit not jumping with the most fluency for the latest of them at Kelso 4 weeks ago. Still, well in the mix from 2 lb lower. Triple C&D winner, most recently in November; probably won't be far away. |
|||
4th (4)  (10/1 -82%)Largy Nights |
10/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Largy Nights 10/1, Stepped up on comeback run when doubling chase tally over C&D in November. Anchored by an 8 lb rise when finishing close-up fifth of 6 in Southwell handicap (25.8f) since. Clearcut C&D winner in November and could still have a bigger run in him. |
|||
5th (3)  (9/1 -227%)Skyhill |
9/1(-227%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Skyhill 9/1, Veteran who ended last season with success over C&D in April and showed benefit of reappearance run when landing 6-runner Catterick handicap (25.2f) on New Year's Day. Nudged up 4 lb and likely he can give another good account. Has excellent strike-rate over fences and runs this track very well; commands respect. |
|||
6th (2)  (25/1 -25%)Canelo |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Canelo 25/1, One-time smart handicapper but has been on the downgrade for some time, showing very little on return from 15 months off at Newcastle in December. This should reveal more. Very useful in his prime but has badly lost his way; considered only if lively in betting. |
|||
7th (6)  (11/2 +31%)Le Grand Vert |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Le Grand Vert 11/2, Hurdles winner in France in summer 2021. Fallen in the weights for new yard and matched previous best when third at Musselburgh (23.6f) 3 weeks ago. Needs to step up again if he's to open his account here, however. Ran okay at Musselburgh this month but is 0-11 over fences now and others appeal more. |
|||
8th (1)  (12/1 -71%)Rostello |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rostello 12/1, Looked awkward when resuming winning ways over fences at Hexham in November and seemed to shirk it off the bridle when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Southwell (25.8f, soft, 11/2) 6 weeks ago. Capable of playing a part again nevertheless. Probably still on a workable mark after Hexham win in November; enters calculations. |
|||
9th (10)  (22/1 -10%)Ballintogher Boy |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ballintogher Boy 22/1, No show last 3 starts, including both outings here/Newcastle in November. Had wind op ahead of this but good deal to prove. Pulled up on last three outings; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (14/1 +0%)Dysania |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Dysania 14/1, Finally got off the mark in 5-runner handicap chase at Lingfield in November and not disgraced when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m) 5 weeks ago, despite making hard work of things. Others more appealing from out of the weights. Rewarded determined ride on seasonal debut but two lesser efforts have followed; 6lb wrong. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SKYHILL seemed to benefit from his first run of the season over C&D when making it back-to-back victories in the same contest at Catterick on New Year's Day. The 11-year-old makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a fourth success at this track. Largy Nights won the aforementioned C&D event in November and is expected to be competitive along with Rostello, a winner at Hexham on his penultimate start, and Onestepatatime.
Having resumed winning ways over C&D in November, ONESTEPATATIME hasn't been disgraced either outing since, fourth at Kelso latest despite not jumping with much fluency. The return to this venue rates a plus (all 3 career victories gained here) and she's a player having eased 2 lb in the weights. Skyhill, a winner at Catterick on New Year's Day rates the lead threat, with Eveque and Coolmoyne completing the shortlist.
Eight-time chase winner SKYHILL produced a good performance to score at Catterick this month and is also very well suited by this C&D.
