1st (1)  (3.5/1 -75%)Elham Valley |
3.5/1(-75%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Elham Valley 3.5/1, Won twice in 2022 and ran right up to best when runner-up at Southwell (15.8f) in May. Poor efforts the last twice but big chance down in grade if returning to form. Strong contender if judged on spring form but needs to better his recent efforts. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4.5/1 +59%)Guguss Collonges |
4.5/1(+59%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Guguss Collonges 4.5/1, Winning chaser who has shaped with no encouragement both starts this term. Others preferred. Good second in C&D hurdle last October but has looked out of sorts this season. |
|||
3rd (7)  (7.5/1 +63%)Ocean Reach |
7.5/1(+63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ocean Reach 7.5/1, Modest on Flat and just poor form at best over hurdles. Improvement needed. Weakened out of contention when 50-1 for handicap hurdle bow; effectively 4lb higher here. |
|||
4th (2)  (8.5/1 +23%)Peaceful Sunday |
8.5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Peaceful Sunday 8.5/1, Hasn't offered much in 2 starts for current connections over fences but his mark continues to ease at least. Back over hurdles. Safely held in two chases for new stable but drops in grade for this hurdling return. |
|||
5th (6)  (22/1 +21%)The Rebel Breen |
22/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Rebel Breen 22/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and has offered little over hurdles so far, though lack of fitness and/or stamina probably exaggerated the distance beaten here 16 days ago. Safely held on all four hurdling starts and 8lb wrong for today's handicap debut. |
|||
6th (4)  (1.75/1 +0%)Boundsy Boy |
1.75/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Boundsy Boy 1.75/1, Opened his account in a 15.8f Huntingdon handicap in February and has remained in good form since, beaten only by one that had dropped in the weights over C&D when last seen in June. Leading claims. Won at Huntingdon in February and was second over C&D in June; the one with least to prove. |
|||
7th (3)  (11/1 -22%)Ginistrelli |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ginistrelli 11/1, Unreliable type who offered little on first run since leaving C. Von Der Recke in Huntingdon handicap (15.8f) in March. Visor on for 1st time. Multiple Flat/hurdle winner in Britain/Germany but well beaten on stable debut in March. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (80/1 -567%)Aurelia Fadilla |
80/1(-567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Aurelia Fadilla 80/1, Has finished down the field in a trio of novice hurdles, though did shape with some promise at Uttoxeter on second outing, so it's possible she could do better now handicapping after 6 months off. Showed no significant promise at triple-digit odds on three 2m novice hurdles last season. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ELHAM VALLEY finished stone last on his latest outing at Newton Abbot, but that was in class 3 company so this represents a big cut back in grade. The six-year-old was dropped 2lb for that effort and he could have too much for these. Boundsy Boy has hit the crossbar the last twice and he is likely to be bang there once more, while Peaceful Sunday is an interesting contender on his return to this sphere.
BOUNDSY BOY was beaten only by one that had eased in the weights over C&D back in June and is the percentage call to go one better from the same mark. Elham Valley needs to cast aside a couple of disappointing efforts but could bounce back with his sights very much lowered here.
The most persuasive option in this modest opener is BOUNDSY BOY, who extended his run of good form when second over C&D last time out.

1st (1)  (1.62/1 +68%)Donnie Azoff |
1.62/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Donnie Azoff 1.62/1, Fair winning hurdler (at 16.5f) last season who hasn't looked as convincing over fences this summer. Respectable second back over timber in novice at Newton Abbot last time but has plenty to find with All The Glory on these terms. Taunton maiden winner; beginning to look exposed now bit ought to run his race here. |
|||
2nd (3)  (0.5/1 -233%)All The Glory |
0.5/1(-233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) All The Glory 0.5/1, Fair bumper performer who got off the mark over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces in 5-runner novice at Hexham (16.2f) and defied a penalty in good style after 3 months off at Market Rasen. Superb chance of completing the hat-trick. Won in very good style at Market Rasen last month and is now 2-2 in cheekpieces. |
|||
3rd (4)  (50/1 +38%)Cellar Club |
50/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Cellar Club 50/1, Well held in bumper and novice/maiden hurdle. Well-beaten outsider in a bumper and two 2m hurdles this summer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ALL THE GLORY sets the standard with a rating of 121 after she recorded a Hexham/Market Rasen double. Jonjo O'Neill's mare scored by over five lengths in the latest of those victories and she could prove very hard to beat again. Donnie Azoff looks the one to follow her home after his second at Newton Abbot, and the step back down in distance shouldn't be a problem. Cellar Club looks booked for third.
It would be very disappointing if the improving ALL THE GLORY couldn't complete the hat-trick in this company. Donnie Azoff can follow her home.
It's very hard to oppose ALL THE GLORY, who took her form to a new level when winning comfortably at Market Rasen three weeks ago.

1st (2)  (1.1/1 -21%)Guinness Affair |
1.1/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Guinness Affair 1.1/1, Promising chaser who easily completed his hat-trick in 4-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good) 34 days ago. Big shout despite an 8 lb rise. Mopped up three small-field chases this summer; no surprise if productive spell continues. |
|||
2nd (3)  (3.2/1 -16%)Glory And Honour |
3.2/1(-16%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glory And Honour 3.2/1, Made a winning start for his new yard in 4-runner handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, soft, 9/4) 14 days ago. Up 5 lb but he had a bit in hand there so merits consideration. Won quite stylishly on recent stable debut and might be even better on this faster ground. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6.5/1 +19%)Aliomaana |
6.5/1(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Aliomaana 6.5/1, Scored over hurdles here in July. Solid fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 18 days ago so respected now making chase debut. Four-time hurdle winner; not bred for fences but a possible if she takes to chasing. |
|||
4th (1)  (3.33/1 +39%)Impulsive One |
3.33/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Impulsive One 3.33/1, Scored over hurdles at Wetherby in February. Considerately handled when remote third of 4 in handicap chase at Southwell (15.8f, good, 3/1) on debut over fences 46 days ago. Likely to improve. Five hurdle wins for previous stable; made inauspicious chasing debut in July, though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GUINNESS AFFAIR is unbeaten in his last three, with the latest of his successes coming at Market Rasen when accounting for his nearest rival by 16 lengths. The Jamie Snowden-trained seven-year-old is asked to compete off an 8lb higher mark, which is unlikely to stop him from going in again. Glory And Honour made his first start for the Sam England yard a victorious one at Cartmel and he should go well off 5lb higher. Aliomaana makes more appeal than top-weight Impulsive One.
GUINNESS AFFAIR hasn't looked back since sent chasing so gets a confident nod in his bid to complete a four-timer. Glory And Honour is feared most having quickly got off the mark for Sam England at Cartmel.
Sam England's GLORY AND HONOUR cruised into contention before readily asserting on his stable debut, and could still be well treated.

1st (6)  (1.5/1 +45%)Max Of Stars |
1.5/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Max Of Stars 1.5/1, Has taken really well to hurdling, confirming promise of her debut in this sphere with back-to-back victories from the front at Newton Abbot. Didn't do much wrong when runner-up in a Bangor handicap last time (clear of the third, who has won since) and she's a big player. Won two juvenile hurdles before creditable second against older horses in Bangor handicap. |
|||
2nd (2)  (6/1 +0%)Gavin |
6/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gavin 6/1, Landed a Fakenham selling handicap on his final start for Joe Ponting and notched 2 quick Ffos Las wins for his current yard. Largely respectable efforts since but probably remains a shade too high in the weights for now. Dual winner for new stable in the spring; still on workable mark; ground excuse latest. |
|||
3rd (1)  (9/1 -125%)Clearance |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Clearance 9/1, In fine form at Newton Abbot in recent months, winning 3 of his last 4 starts there, all at around this trip on good ground. 3 lb rise for latest success fair enough and was a C&D winner on sole previous visit here in 2019, so there are reasons to be optimistic. In excellent form at Newton Abbot this summer, winning three times; likely contender again. |
|||
4th (5)  (33/1 -65%)Full Of Light |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Full Of Light 33/1, Bumper winner in Ireland and scored twice over hurdles for Nicky Henderson during 2021/22. Generally disappointing since, though, and passed over here for all that he resumes in this sphere on an attractive mark. Ran okay in two chases for new stable last month but still looks risky now back hurdling. |
|||
5th (4)  (8.5/1 -70%)Long Call |
8.5/1(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Long Call 8.5/1, Has his quirks but ended a long losing run on the Flat in June and made a successful return to hurdles in a 2m Bangor handicap last month. No backward step when runner-up over this C&D last time but may prove vulnerable now upped slightly in class. Followed Bangor win with good C&D second but younger rivals appeal more today. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (2/1 +27%)Bahtiyar |
2/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bahtiyar 2/1, Ex-French gelding who remains a maiden in this sphere following 10 attempts. However, positive start for this yard (also first run following a wind op) when finding just one too good over C&D recently and another bold show is anticipated. 0-10 over hurdles but was close second over C&D on last month's stable debut; major player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CLEARANCE's willing attitude helped him complete a double at Newton Abbot, and the nine-year-old is fancied to defy another 3lb rise in the ratings to continue his fine run of form. Bahtiyar didn't find as much as expected when runner-up over C&D on stable debut, but he can't be taken lightly. The juvenile Max Of Stars has taken really well to hurdles and also enters calculations, despite being 5lb higher than when second at Bangor.
MAX OF STARS couldn't quite capitalise on her handy 3-y-o allowance at Bangor recently but that was still a creditable effort and she could take some pegging back round here now reunited with Brian Hughes. Bahtiyar is a much-respected main danger on the back of an encouraging debut effort for this yard following a break here 16 days ago, while the hat-trick seeking Clearance also merits respect.
Another chance is given to BAHTIYAR, who found one just too strong here on his recent stable debut but may have a bigger run in him.

1st (1)  (4.5/1 +10%)Steel Wave |
4.5/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Steel Wave 4.5/1, Has never been one for maximum faith but he has landed a brace of C&D handicaps this term. Anchored by revised mark at Bangor and others look better treated but he can't be dismissed around here. Sprightly veteran who has already won twice over C&D this season. |
|||
2nd (6)  (4/1 +43%)O'faolains Lad |
4/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) O'faolains Lad 4/1, Got back on track after a wind-op when second of 5 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot in July. Looked very hard work back there next time but much more like it when second over 27.5f here a fortnight ago. May find things happening too quickly over this trip. Ran well over 3m3f here recently but has mixed record this year and others appeal more. |
|||
3rd (3)  (3.33/1 +39%)Glengeever |
3.33/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Glengeever 3.33/1, Point winner/dual winner over hurdles who was runner-up on first 2 starts in handicap chases. In danger of going the wrong way over the larger obstacles, though. Seemed to throw victory away at Hexham in June, and a dip in form has followed. |
|||
4th (5)  (12/1 -20%)Joly Maker |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Joly Maker 12/1, Scored over 19.4f here in April. Bit underwhelming since but is at least now back to his last winning mark. Course winner in April, after a break, but subsequent form is very uninspiring. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (1.5/1 +8%)Motion In Limine |
1.5/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Motion In Limine 1.5/1, Registered first success for present yard in 3m handicap hurdle at Southwell last summer. Folded next 3 starts but stopped the slide when third at Perth and made a good first fist of chasing (given his record in points) when second at Cartmel a fortnight ago. Bold bid likely. Ran big race when second on recent chasing debut and gets another chance off the same mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MOTION IN LIMINE found only a well-treated rival too strong at Cartmel a fortnight ago and compensation could await off the same mark. Three-time C&D winner Steel Wave always demands respect here and may emerge as the chief threat, despite the veteran's current rating appearing on the high side. O'Faolains Lad would make more appeal over further, but at least he arrives in good heart and he is worth a second look.
MOTION IN LIMINE took well to chasing at Cartmel a fortnight ago given his uninspiring record in points and this looks a good opportunity. Steel Wave isn't well treated at present but his good record over C&D may see him fill a place.
After looking the most likely winner for a long way on his recent chasing debut, MOTION IN LIMINE (nap) can gain compensation here.

1st (1)  (0.44/1 -10%)Aughafatten |
0.44/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Aughafatten 0.44/1, Point winner who made the ideal start under Rules when staying on well to land a 7-runner bumper at Perth last month. Should be up to defying a penalty. Began rules career with clear win at Perth last month; probably sets fairly good standard. |
|||
2nd (3)  (2/1 +50%)Professor Higgins |
2/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Professor Higgins 2/1, Out of a winning chaser and showed something to work on when third in a bumper at Worcester a couple of months ago. Has left Nicky Henderson since but still open to improvement. Just a respectable third of five on debut in July; sold out of Nicky Henderson's for £15k. |
|||
3rd (4)  (22/1 +56%)Quechua |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Quechua 22/1, Little impact in point bumper and C&D event. Ran okay in a point bumper in May but soundly beaten over C&D on recent rules debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
AUGHAFATTEN made a perfect start to life under Rules when scoring in a bumper at Perth and appears to have been found a great opportunity to complete a brace. Professor Higgins wasn't disgraced on his third-placed debut at Worcester and may give the selection most to think about now in the care of Gary Hanmer, although newcomer Pic The Power, whose yard had a winner in a NH Flat race here last season, isn't without hope.
Point winner AUGHAFATTEN made a successful switch to Rules when scoring at Perth last month and he's been found a good opportunity to defy a penalty. Professor Higgins is the obvious danger on form and Pic The Power strikes as an interesting newcomer.
This ought to be straightforward for AUGHAFATTEN, who won what looked a much stronger bumper than this at Perth last month.

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.
