1st (1)  (1.38/1 -73%)Wick Green |
1.38/1(-73%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Wick Green 1.38/1, Back to his best when making a winning start for Ben Pauling in February and reacted really well to cheekpieces when adding to his tally at Worcester last month. Jumped well that day and he looks an uncomplicated sort. Back to form to win by 10l last time (cheekpieces first time); headgear retained; chance. |
|||
2nd (2)  (6/1 -71%)Shetland Bus |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shetland Bus 6/1, It all clicked for him over fences with cheekpieces added in the autumn, winning at Stratford and Fakenham. Not been in same form in 4 outings since, offering flattering to deceive. Blinkers now the headgear of choice. Same mark as last win (October 2022) but not in same form since; blinkers tried again. |
|||
3rd (4)  (2.5/1 +50%)Fairlawn Flyer |
2.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Fairlawn Flyer 2.5/1, Made it 4-4 over fences at Ffos Las when landing a 23.8f handicap (heavy) in first-time cheekpieces in December. However, appears to have lost his way since and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Suited by softish ground; well beaten last three starts, but well treated now; a possible. |
|||
|F| (3)  (3.33/1 +45%)Tango Boy |
3.33/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tango Boy 3.33/1, Opened his account over jumps when taking Wetherby handicap in October and bounced back quickly from a tame run when winning a match race at Catterick in February. Seems a bit in and out and he folded on return to action here at the beginning of the month. Eased 4 lb. Two wins last season; well beaten back from a break last time; should do better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WICK GREEN appeared rejuvenated by first-time cheekpieces when coasting home at Worcester in May and an 8lb rise may not prevent Ben Pauling's veteran from completing a double. Fairlawn Flyer may require a leap of faith to support currently, nevertheless, the seven-year-old is now 8lb below his last winning mark and is dangerous to discount, while Shetland Bus needs refitted blinkers to eke out some improvement.
WICK GREEN is thriving and this uncomplicated ride may well shrug off his latest rise in the weights. Tango Boy's profile is patchy but the assessor has been quick to lend a hand and he's dangerous if on a "going" day.
Although 8lb higher than when winning at Worcester WICK GREEN is taken to follow up by beating Tango Boy.

1st (4)  (4/1 -14%)Rocambolas |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rocambolas 4/1, Winning pointer who made a successful start for his new yard in 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in April. Threw away what seemed certain victory back over fences at Worcester last month and was still bang there when falling at Market Rasen. Hurdle winner on stable debut in April and has since run a big race over fences. |
|||
2nd (5)  (10/1 -11%)King Of Quinta |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King Of Quinta 10/1, Minor promise in bumpers and over hurdles but showed some aptitude for chasing after 5 months off before ultimately shaping as if amiss (subsequently found to have an irregular heartbeat). Failed to see his race out at Market Rasen so has a lot to prove. Well held when fourth last month but this low-mileage 5yo may yet do better. |
|||
3rd (1)  (1.62/1 +60%)Duke Of Luckley |
1.62/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Duke Of Luckley 1.62/1, Successful on chase debut at Catterick (2m) in November but has failed to go on from that since, something that can be at least partly attributed to his somewhat haphazard jumping. Still, he would be a danger to all if the first-time visor has the desired effect. Generally disappointing since winning chase debut in November but visor might help. |
|||
4th (7)  (33/1 +18%)Mawlood |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mawlood 33/1, Dual hurdles winner but failed to progress over fences for Phil Middleton. Produced best effort for current yard when third of 7 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f) but made no impression upped in trip at Worcester. 5 lb out of the weights. Without a win since spring 2021 and 5lb out of the weights; difficult to enthuse over. |
|||
5th (6)  (7.5/1 -7%)Uncle O |
7.5/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Uncle O 7.5/1, Placed off slightly higher marks last season and runner-up on his return at Fakenham at the beginning of the month, though not always fluent with his jumping. Another fair effort behind Getaway Jewel over C&D last week. Has modest strike-rate but runs this track well and was third here a week ago; in the mix. |
|||
6th (2)  (4.5/1 -100%)Getaway Jewel |
4.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Getaway Jewel 4.5/1, Landed a Market Rasen double (both 17.2f) under Brian Hughes last summer and, reunited with Hughes, was better than ever for latest win over C&D a week ago. Carries a penalty but clearly demands respect. Kept on strongly to win by 10l over C&D a week ago; respected under 7lb penalty. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (6.5/1 -18%)Going Mobile |
6.5/1(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Going Mobile 6.5/1, Successful 3 times last season and stepped up on his reappearance when third at Hexham a fortnight ago. Isn't an easy ride and visor now the headgear of choice. Back in good form in refitted blinkers last month; tried in a visor here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Getaway Jewel gained a first success of the year over C&D last Monday, with a 7lb penalty unlikely to prevent another bold bid. However, a career-best performance will be required to supplement that victory and it may pay to take him on with ROCAMBOLAS. The six-year-old was still travelling well enough when falling three out at Market Rasen last month and looks to have a race of this nature in him. Going Mobile may appreciate this sharper track and is another to consider in a first-time visor.
GETAWAY JEWEL probably didn't beat a great deal over C&D last week but that confirms he's in good heart, which counts for a lot at this level. Rocambolas is tricky but capable of winning a race like this, with Duke of Luckley another to consider in a change of headgear.
Preference is for ROCAMBOLAS, who showed more than enough to suggest he can win off his current mark when second at Worcester in May.

1st (1)  (2.25/1 +50%)No Way Pedro |
2.25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) No Way Pedro 2.25/1, Didn't show much in points during the spring but matched the pick of his Irish form for Michael Butler when making a winning debut for this yard in a Worcester handicap hurdle (2m, good) recently. However, faces a stiff task on these terms. Won Worcester handicap on recent stable debut; needs to be taken very seriously. |
|||
2nd (7)  (28/1 -100%)Sholokhov Cocktail |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sholokhov Cocktail 28/1, Low-key start in a bumper here in May and will need to leave that well behind now switched to hurdles if she's to play a leading role. Ninth of ten in course bumper on debut in May; needs to take a good step forward. |
|||
3rd (5)  (33/1 -175%)Taghadoe |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Taghadoe 33/1, Half-brother to 3 winners but he hasn't set the world alight in a couple of bumpers so far. With a good stable but has weakened out of contention in two bumpers this season. |
|||
4th (3)  (6/1 -50%)Book Of Secrets |
6/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Book Of Secrets 6/1, Fair on the Flat and similar standard over hurdles. Left Dan Skelton after finishing a creditable second in a 2m Stratford seller and, despite failing to fire on debut for new yard at Fakenham, he's a player back in this grade. Major player if judged on form for Dan Skelton; disappointed on last month's stable debut. |
|||
5th (6)  (66/1 -313%)Scarlett Clipper |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Scarlett Clipper 66/1, Well held in a couple of mares' novice events so far and she's probably more one for the longer-term. Well beaten on her first two starts (bumper/2m2f hurdle); tongue-tie added today. |
|||
6th (2)  (0.8/1 +4%)Absolute Ruler |
0.8/1(+4%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Absolute Ruler 0.8/1, Fair Flat winner who built on hurdles debut promise when accounting for 6 rivals in 2m Huntingdon maiden at the end of May. Placed in novice events at Ffos Las and over this C&D since and he's very much the one to beat. Placed twice since Huntingdon maiden win in May; leading contender. |
|||
7th (4)  (25/1 +75%)O'grady's Boy |
25/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) O'grady's Boy 25/1, Modest maiden hurdler/chaser at best and he has a mountain to climb on the terms. Blinkers applied. Well beaten off lowly mark in 3m1f Cartmel chase in May and now 0-16 under rules. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ABSOLUTE RULER was a little disappointing in a novice hurdle here last week, but this selling contest demands less of Jennie Candlish's inmate and he's fancied to regain the winning thread. Book of Secrets appears the biggest threat judged on ratings, although the five-year-old will need to see his race out better to hold any chance in this event. No Way Pedro made a winning start for Brian Barr at Worcester recently and shouldn't be underestimated.
ABSOLUTE RULER was no match for the first two when third in a six-runner C&D novice last week but he faces nothing of the calibre of those rivals this time. Jennie Candlish's charge is confidently expected to resume winning ways on these favourable terms. If able to reproduce something akin to the level of form he showed for Dan Skelton, Book of Secrets will most likely be the one to follow the selection home, with recent Worcester winner No Way Pedro best of the rest.
After keeping on strongly to win a low-grade handicap last month, NO WAY PEDRO has a much better chance than the figures suggest.

1st (6)  (7/1 +0%)Ez Tiger |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ez Tiger 7/1, Bounced back to form when second of 8 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) in May. Performed to a similar level back here 3 weeks ago but he has a bit to find with Riggsby on that evidence. Good second here two starts ago but behind Riggsby last time and now 0-11 over hurdles. |
|||
2nd (8)  (6/1 +33%)George Mallory |
6/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) George Mallory 6/1, Yet to strike over hurdles following 14 attempts but he has hit the crossbar on a couple of occasions, including over this C&D during the winter. Reproduction of that form would give him a serious each-way chance. Twice in the frame at Market Rasen in May and career-best RPR was recorded over this C&D. |
|||
3rd (11)  (150/1 -50%)Naasik |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Naasik 150/1, Remains a maiden after 33 runs and has shown next to nothing in 3 starts since returning from a lengthy absence. Looks set for another struggle from 10 lb 'wrong' here. Longstanding maiden who can't be recommended from well out of the weights. |
|||
4th (1)  (4/1 +43%)Oasis Prince |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Oasis Prince 4/1, Bettered previous hurdles efforts when going close in a Market Rasen handicap in August 2021. Shade below par sole subsequent start in this sphere, which was in November of that year, but he's fit from the Flat and is not discounted off a fair mark. Not seen over hurdles since 2021 but posted a couple of good Flat runs this spring. |
|||
5th (5)  (3.5/1 +13%)Gone In Sixty |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gone In Sixty 3.5/1, Remains a maiden but there were positives to glean from his effort following a break last month at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) where he was third off this mark. Possibilities here if able to build on that. 0-8 over hurdles but ran well when third at Market Rasen last month, after a break. |
|||
6th (9)  (14/1 -56%)Tally's Son |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Tally's Son 14/1, Poor strike rate on the Flat (1-42) and he's 0-9 over hurdles. On the upside, he produced his best effort yet in this sphere when runner-up from 6 lb out of the weights at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) and unlikely he will be far way here if able to build on that. Hasn't been with this yard long and belied 50-1 odds when second at Newton Abbot in June. |
|||
7th (2)  (4.5/1 -13%)Riggsby |
4.5/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Riggsby 4.5/1, Fair stayer on the Flat and has made the frame all 3 starts for new yard over hurdles. Latest C&D third following a break/wind op on handicap debut in this sphere was creditable and he's high on the shortlist. Travelled strongly for a long way when close third over C&D on handicap debut last month. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (5.5/1 -38%)Getaman |
5.5/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Getaman 5.5/1, Dual winner over fences last year and good second in a 9-runner handicap chase on return at Warwick in April. However, he was beaten a fair way back hurdling last time and record stands at 0-9 in this sphere. Ran big race over fences in April, after a break, and not discredited over hurdles since. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (20/1 -43%)Dee Eire |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dee Eire 20/1, Not much to write home about in maiden/novice company and needs to raise her game considerably back from a break on this handicap debut. Displayed minor promise in spring 2022; well beaten in February, after a layoff. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (28/1 -133%)We Still Believe |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) We Still Believe 28/1, In good heart on the Flat for new yard this year and shaped better than the distance beaten on first hurdles start since November 2021 at Hexham last month. Still, several of these table more compelling claims. Last of five on handicap hurdle debut but didn't run that badly; may do better here. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (100/1 -100%)Ballynaveen Boy |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ballynaveen Boy 100/1, Well held in a pair of juvenile hurdles late last year and didn't fare any better on return in a Ludlow novice. Since undergone a wind op and big step forward needed with cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap debut. Well-beaten outsider on all three hurdling starts; cheekpieces on for handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The lightly-raced RIGGSBY is improving and, having shown up well for a long way in a similar contest over C&D last month, he could be progressive enough to take a race like this. There are dangers aplenty, however, as the likes of Tally's Son, Ez Tiger and George Mallory all have potential. The first named of that trio looks the biggest thereat to the selection.
RIGGSBY took a step forward when third on his handicap debut in this sphere over C&D last month and he is appealing off the same mark. Gone In Sixty shaped with encouragement back from a break at Market Rasen and he is next on the list ahead of Oasis Prince, while George Mallory and Tally's Son are each-way players.
His finishing effort was slightly disappointing but RIGGSBY still ran very well when third over C&D on his handicap debut last month.

16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Methodtothemagic 16/1, Modest maiden hurdler/chaser. Has yet to build on her promising chase debut third at Leicester in February but her mark has come down and perhaps a return to the smaller obstacles will help. Didn't run badly in last two chases and now back hurdling on a good mark. |
|||
2nd (7)  (2.5/1 +50%)Pure Surf |
2.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pure Surf 2.5/1, 11/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Cartmel on Friday. Should be competitive under her 7 lb penalty if showing up in similar form. Bounced back to form with Cartmel win on Friday; shortlisted under 7lb penalty. |
|||
3rd (11)  (18/1 +10%)Kimberley Eve |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Kimberley Eve 18/1, First run since leaving Ian Williams when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at this course (3m, good to soft) 27 days ago. Hard to fancy. Safely held on last month's stable debut and needs that run to have brought her on. |
|||
4th (8)  (11/1 -38%)Game Beaaa |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Game Beaaa 11/1, Placed in handicaps at Newcastle and Doncaster for this yard last November. Best run since returning from wind surgery when fourth at Market Rasen (2m) 24 days ago. Claims if she can build on that. Ran okay over 2m last month and may benefit from this longer trip but others appeal more. |
|||
5th (5)  (50/1 -52%)Sinurita |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sinurita 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Michael Scudamore when well held on Worcester handicap debut 38 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect. Well beaten on stable/handicap debut in May; cheekpieces now added. |
|||
6th (2)  (5/1 +17%)Camilla's Choice |
5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Camilla's Choice 5/1, 10/3, creditable second of 5 in handicap chase at Bangor (3m, good) 23 days ago (final start for Shark Hanlon). Races off the same mark back hurdling for new yard. Clear second to progressive rival over fences last month; back hurdling for stable debut. |
|||
7th (6)  (5.5/1 -83%)Well Done Dani |
5.5/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Well Done Dani 5.5/1, In good form since wind surgery, winning over 2m here in April and at Worcester 18 days ago. Major player if her stamina holds now stepping back up in trip. 2-3 over 2m since her wind op in January; may have more to offer over 2m4f. |
|||
8th (3)  (11/1 +31%)Lady Pacifico |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lady Pacifico 11/1, Made a winning start over hurdles at Leicester (2m) in 2021 but her record has been patchy since. Others appeal more. Ended last season with three fair runs but took backward step last time; others preferred. |
|||
9th (9)  (11/1 +31%)Celestial Park |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Celestial Park 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Off 5 months, respectable fifth of 12 on Market Rasen handicap debut (20.5f, good, 25/1) 24 days ago. That gives her something to build on. Just a respectable fifth on handicap debut, but that was her first run for five months. |
|||
10th (1)  (6.5/1 -30%)Emily Wade |
6.5/1(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Emily Wade 6.5/1, Hasn't done much wrong since switched to handicaps in this sphere, winning over C&D in March and placed on all 4 outings since. Respected. Has remained in good form since clearcut C&D win in March; enters calculations. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (11/1 +78%)Double Or Quits |
11/1(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Double Or Quits 11/1, Has shown little in a bumper and 4 starts over hurdles, finishing a remote fourth on her 18.5f Newton Abbot handicap debut in May. Well held on handicap debut but effectively 12lb lower here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Well Done Dani exploited a handy mark when winning over 2m here in April and is respected having backed that up at Worcester 18 days ago. However, she has gone up a further 5lb in the handicap and the additional yardage demands more. With that in mind, previous C&D winner EMILY WADE shades preference, as her effectiveness at the course and more proven stamina are appealing factors. Cartmel winner Pure Surf is also considered, despite the 7lb penalty.
WELL DONE DANI has been a different proposition since wind surgery and it's worth chancing her stamina now stepping back up in trip. Emily Wade has a series of solid efforts to her name in recent months and is second choice ahead of Game Beaaa, who took a step back in the right direction wen fourth at Market Rasen recently.
After a good run in defeat over fences last month, CAMILLA'S CHOICE is taken to make a winning stable debut.

7.5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Blue Sans 7.5/1, Had dropped to a dangerous mark and duly built on her Worcester reappearance to win for the first time since her handicap debut to score over C&D (good) 3 weeks ago, leading before last and just kept up to work. In the mix again. C&D winner off much-reduced mark last month; 4lb rise ought to be manageable. |
|||
2nd (6)  (6.5/1 -8%)Betty's Belle |
6.5/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Betty's Belle 6.5/1, Fair bumper winner and ran her best race over hurdles when runner-up at Uttoxeter (23.3f, good to soft, 7/1) 16 days ago, though it looked touch and go whether she'd even set off. Pulled clear of the rest that day and should go well again if her mind is on the job. 0-7 over hurdles but went down fighting when clear second at Uttoxeter last month. |
|||
3rd (8)  (0.57/1 +62%)Whataboutyeh |
0.57/1(+62%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Whataboutyeh 0.57/1, Won over C&D in April and came good over fences at the third attempt when scoring at Cartmel (25.5f, good to soft) 3 days ago, toying with the admirable runner-up. Back over hurdles and fancied to have a big say provided this doesn't come too soon. C&D winner on handicap debut in April and returns after comfortable chase win on Friday. |
|||
4th (1)  (18/1 -112%)Tommydan |
18/1(-112%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tommydan 18/1, In good heart over hurdles in the autumn and picked up where he left off after a 7-month break when landing an 11-runner event over C&D last month. Tailed off back over fences at Newton Abbot since, so no surprise to see him back over the smaller obstacles. Darted clear to win over C&D last month; well beaten over fences since; hard to predict. |

5th (3)  (11/1 -57%)Bright Sunbird |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bright Sunbird 11/1, Back-to-back winner last summer (awarded 2¾m novice at Cartmel). Returned to form following a break when finding just one too good at Ludlow in May, but not quite at that level on both subsequent starts, though did at least a more straightforward ride last time. Dual winner last summer and placed on two of three starts this spring; still on good mark. |

|PU| (7)  (8.5/1 -21%)Just Call Me Al |
8.5/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Just Call Me Al 8.5/1, Won 3 times at Sedgefield in 2021/22 season. Largely disappointing since but ran creditably judged on recent form when third at Market Rasen (23.1f, good) 10 days ago. Potentially very well handicapped with Brian Hughes again in the saddle. Placed at Market Rasen recently but is not as good as he was; younger rivals preferred. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (22/1 +33%)Robeam |
22/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Robeam 22/1, Largely struggled since finishing third in a C&D handicap off 10 lb higher last September, failing to lay a glove on Blue Sans when held over C&D (good) 3 weeks ago. Has refused to race as recently as May (in a void race), so best to look elsewhere again. Very well handicapped on some of last year's heroics but out of form this spring. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (80/1 -142%)Sommervieu |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sommervieu 80/1, Fair maiden hurdler in France but little promise all 6 starts for Charlie Longsdon, including when last seen over fences back in 2018. Sold for £8,000 and is a dual point winner, pulled up last time (Apr 10). Out of sorts in points this year; best watched on first rules start since 2018. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Whataboutyeh went in by just under three lengths over fences at Cartmel on Friday and he is an interesting contender on his return to this sphere, but the vote goes to TOMMYDAN. The eight-year-old struck over C&D on his penultimate start and, if he can run anywhere near that level, he could prove tough to beat. Last-time-out victor Blue Sans is also in the mix.
A few in with a squeak but it was hard not to be impressed by the way WHATABOUTYEH sauntered to victory over fences at Cartmel on Friday so, provided this doesn't come too soon, Sam England's 6-y-o is fancied to take his record to 2-2 at this track. Just Call Me Al lurks on a dangerous mark, so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of recent C&D winner Blue Sans and the mercurial Betty's Belle.
Progressive 6yo WHATABOUTYEH (nap) makes a quick return after scoring in good style over fences off today's mark at Cartmel on Friday.

1st (1)  (1.88/1 +0%)Secret Trix |
1.88/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Secret Trix 1.88/1, Suited by step up in trip when opening account in handicap at Fakenham (23.4f) in November, before placing on his next 2 starts. After 3 months off and in first-time cheekpieces, returned to winning ways with a ready success at this C&D in May. Leading contender. Won readily by over 7l over C&D in first-time cheekpieces in May; now 2-9 over hurdles. |
|||
2nd (6)  (2.75/1 +54%)Coconut Twist |
2.75/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Coconut Twist 2.75/1, Has returned to form this season as he has finished runner-up on all 3 starts of the campaign, posting another good effort without his usual hood at Fontwell (21.8f) 17 days ago. Can make his presence felt on only his second try at this trip. 0-10 over hurdles but runner-up on his last three appearances; likely contender again. |
|||
3rd (2)  (7/1 -8%)Lelantos |
7/1(-8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lelantos 7/1, Recorded a third success in handicap hurdles when scoring at Bangor (23f) last summer. After 6 months off, turned in a rare poor effort at Ludlow in May, but left that run behind when third of 6 at Worcester last time. Can give his running again. Quickly back in the groove with very respectable third last month; still on workable mark. |
|||
4th (4)  (10/1 +38%)Student Chap |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Student Chap 10/1, Yet to build on hurdle debut fourth at Worcester (20f) in December, including switched to handicaps on his last 2 starts. Pulled up back at Worcester on his latest outing, so this step up in trip (tongue strap now applied) needs to spark a return to form. In good hands and remains unexposed but needs to take a big step forward here. |
|||
5th (7)  (5.5/1 -57%)The Longest Day |
5.5/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Longest Day 5.5/1, Has been going the right way since returning from a 15-month absence in the spring, stepping forward from his reappearance run to place on his 3 last starts. Runner-up at this C&D 3 weeks ago and he can be thereabouts once more. Placd on last three starts, most recently when clear second over C&D three weeks ago. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (7.5/1 +17%)Maroochi |
7.5/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Maroochi 7.5/1, After a sequence of frame finishes, deservedly opened her account at Newton Abbot (21.5f) last September. Stepped up on her return when fourth of 7 at Aintree (24.7f) 17 days ago, so she can give another good account. Not quite at best on either start this spring and needs to find extra here. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (33/1 -65%)Female Approach |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Female Approach 33/1, Fair handicapper at best on the Flat and similar merit over hurdles in Ireland. On her first run since leaving Denis Hogan, never landed a blow when ninth at Hexham (20.1f) a month ago. More needed to gain a first success in this sphere. 0-12 over hurdles in Ireland and safely held on last month's stable debut. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (50/1 -25%)Sight Nor Seen |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sight Nor Seen 50/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland at best but below level for his current connections. Fared better than for a while when fourth at Hexham (20.1f) in June, though not in the same form when pulled up later in the month. Return of cheekpieces not enough to tempt. Ran okay in new blinkers last month but pulled up since; profile remains unappealing. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SECRET TRIX won very nicely over C&D when beating Coconut Twist last time and he has been raised 6lb for that success. The son of Kayf Tara looks to have lots in his favour once more, so he is likely to prove very difficult to beat. The Longest Day has put in three solid efforts since April, with the latest a runner-up effort where he was nine lengths clear of the third, and he can get involved.
SECRET TRIX has shown improved form since stepping up in trip, producing a career best in first-time cheekpieces when winning readily over this C&D in May. He can continue his progress to see off the challenge of The Longest Day, who ran well when second here 3 weeks ago. Coconut Twist also merits consideration.
This might go to LELANTOS, who was third in a race that has worked out well at Worcester last month and remains on a good mark.

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.
