---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (9/4 +18%) Miss Maverick |
9/4(+18%) | (1) Miss Maverick 9/4, Going the right way over hurdles now, opening her account at this course last month before following up over C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago (left in front last). Yard in form and looks sure to make a bold bid from the front for the hat-trick under a double penalty. Not the form pick but 2-2 in Uttoxeter hurdle races and could still have a shout in this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (40/1 +0%) Love At Sea |
40/1(+0%) | (3) Love At Sea 40/1, Winning pointer who was regressive in bumpers and went with little encouragement tried hurdling after 15 months off when well held at Warwick (16f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Upped in trip but best watched. Close on her bumper debut but not in three subsequent bumpers or a 2m maiden hurdle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 -56%) Oneforthefairgreen |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Oneforthefairgreen 14/1, Fair form on 2 of her 4 starts in bumpers in Ireland and showed a bit more than previously in this sphere when third in mares' maiden at Fakenham (20f, good) earlier this month, staying on gradually. Can build on that with Bowen taking over. 27l third of eight in a maiden hurdle at Fakenham (2m4f, good); needs marked improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (4/6 +19%) Dameofthecotswolds |
4/6(+19%) | (6) Dameofthecotswolds 4/6, Stepped up on previous form over timber when second in juvenile handicap at Cheltenham last month, suited by strong pace. Shaped better than the bare result from 4 lb out of the weights at Kelso (16.2f, good) earlier in the month and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark over hurdles. This is a marked step up in trip but she is very much the form choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (11/1 -22%) Yesanna |
11/1(-22%) | (5) Yesanna 11/1, Blue Bresil mare who failed to meet expectations that saw her go off near the top of the betting when seventh of 13 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, good) on debut earlier this month. Represents a top yard, so worth a second look making a quick switch to hurdling. £88,000 3yo and useful pedigree but 7th of 13 when second favourite for Southwell bumper. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MISS MAVERICK made every yard of the running to complete a double over track and trip last time and he now has a 10lb penalty to carry. Gary Hanmer's seven-year-old is rapidly improving and he gets the nod, with his main danger possibly being Yesanna, who failed to fire on her bumper debut at Southwell earlier in the month but she could prove a different proposition over hurdles. Dameofthecotswolds completes the shortlist.
DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS has been banging at the door, and, getting weight from her 5 rivals, this looks a good opportunity for Nigel Twiston-Davies' 4-y-o to open her account back in novice company and upped to 2½m for the first time. Miss Maverick arrives chasing a hat-trick, but she may have to settle for silver carrying a double penalty, with hurdling-debutante Yesanna rounding off the shortlist.
Miss Maverick bids for three wins in a row at Uttoxeter and has proved her stamina, but she has to give DAMEOFTHECOTSWOLDS 18lb.

Hammer Dan |
(6) (10/1 +17%)10/1(+17%) | (6) Hammer Dan 10/1, Tailed off in a bumper and has made little impact over hurdles, failing to improve for the switch to handicaps on his last 2 starts. Pulled up at Southwell when last seen in February, so he has work to do after a further 4 months off. 2nd in his only Irish point but he's achieved little in his six races under rules. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (7/4 +50%) My Monty |
7/4(+50%) | (1) My Monty 7/4, On first start for current yard, shaped better than previously when third in novice at Hereford (21.7f) in January. In-and-out form since, but upped in trip he ran well when fourth of 7 in handicap at Warwick (25f, good) last time. Respected. Creditable fourth of seven at Warwick last time when upped to 3m1f for his second handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/2 +79%) Release The Kraken |
5/2(+79%) | (4) Release The Kraken 5/2, Modest maiden hurdler for Nicky Richards, before failing to complete all 3 starts for Laura Morgan in 2022/23. Hasn't fared much better both outings for current yard, well-beaten fourth in handicap at Southwell in February. Has enough to prove. Made a step back in right direction in February latest but this still demands a lot more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (4/1 +60%) Arctic Lodge |
4/1(+60%) | (5) Arctic Lodge 4/1, Modest form on first 4 starts over hurdles, before well held on his chase debut sole outing in 2023/24. After 11 months off, below expectations in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good) 18 days ago, but he remains lightly raced as he goes up in trip. Bits of form but beaten a minimum of 29l at single-figure odds in his three handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (10/3 -48%) Native Moon |
10/3(-48%) | (2) Native Moon 10/3, Down the field in a bumper and on hurdling debut. However, some promise on his last 2 starts, shaping as if better for the run after 4 months off when third in a Hereford maiden (19.7f, good) in April. One to note upped in trip for his handicap bow. Upped in trip for handicap debut and no great surprise if he makes the necessary progress. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LADY MENDOZA (also engaged to run at Cartmel on Saturday) occupied the runner-up spot in a class 4 event over 2m4f at Musselburgh in November last year and she makes plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower rating. Rebecca Menzies' mare looks well placed to go one better, with her main danger likely to be Native Moon, who could take a step forward on his handicap debut after hitting the frame at Hereford last month. Of the remainder, Release The Kraken makes the most appeal under Sean Bowen.
LADY MENDOZA made a promising return from a break when second to an improver at Musselburgh in November and, with more still to offer as a stayer, she looks to hold leading claims if taking up this engagement. My Monty produced one of his better efforts when fourth at Warwick 15 days ago and is next on the list, ahead of handicap-debutant Native Moon.
With Lady Mendoza due to run yesterday, the vote in this unconvincing field goes instead to MY MONTY ahead of Native Moon.

1st (6) (17/2 -13%) Mcgowan's Pass |
17/2(-13%) | (6) Mcgowan's Pass 17/2, It's now 19 runs since his last win in 2020 but this veteran had been holding his form well prior to a below-par effort at Bangor last summer. After 9 months off, back on track when third at Southwell (20.4f, good) 19 days ago. Can give his running once more. Consistent veteran who should not be far away but he has not won since January 2020. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (4/1 -14%) Fourofakind |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Fourofakind 4/1, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and dual hurdle winner for this yard, the second success coming in a Hereford handicap (19.7f) in February. Bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up at Taunton (19f, good) last month and he's one to consider. Won in February and put two modest shows behind him when second at Taunton on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/10 +37%) Big Blue Moon |
11/10(+37%) | (3) Big Blue Moon 11/10, Showed improved form sent handicapping last spring and left behind a pair of disappointing runs when getting back to winning ways at Warwick in April. Followed up at Hereford (19.7f, good) 19 days ago and he can make a bold bid for hat-trick. Has turned things round dramatically with wins at Warwick and Hereford; highly respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (8/1 -78%) Clondaw Royale |
8/1(-78%) | (1) Clondaw Royale 8/1, Has made an encouraging start over hurdles, well on top when winning a maiden at Bangor (19.6f) in December. Looked set to finish a clear second when falling 2 out in handicap at Warwick (26f, heavy) in March, so he enters calculations with tongue strap back on. Won a Bangor maiden (2m3f, soft); weakening when he fell two out in 3m2f Warwick handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (8/1 -78%) Touchy Feely |
8/1(-78%) | (2) Touchy Feely 8/1, Made a bright start to her hurdling career when winning her first 2 races. Down the field next 2 outings before failing to complete in a trio of handicap chases, but back over hurdles she ran well when fourth at Aintree (20f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted. Fourth of 14 back over hurdles at Aintree (2m4f, good) nine days ago was respectable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (18/1 +45%) Jac Jumper |
18/1(+45%) | (5) Jac Jumper 18/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles and fences in France but hasn't offered much in 3 starts for his current yard, sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) on his latest outing. Looks to be up against it. Much better in C&D handicap (soft) latest, albeit still beaten about 17l in sixth of eight. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BIG BLUE MOON accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length in this grade at Hereford earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to only raise him 4lb for that triumph. Tom Lacey's seven-year-old could still be improving and he can complete the hat-trick. The main threat might be Touchy Feely, who finished fourth at this level at Aintree last time and she could get into contention off a 1lb lower mark, while McGowan's Pass hit the frame at Southwell on his latest outing and he also has to be respected.
BIG BLUE MOON has got back on the up with victories on his last 2 starts, jumping better switched to front-running tactics at Hereford 19 days ago, and he can continue his progress to land the hat-trick. Clondaw Royale was in the process of running well when falling late on at Warwick and could be the main danger, with Fourofakind also in the mix.
The top four are all considered for win purposes, with narrow preference for BIG BLUE MOON ahead of Fourofakind.

Eaton Collina |
(5) (15/2 -50%)15/2(-50%) | (5) Eaton Collina 15/2, Likeable sort who ran out a ready winner at Wetherby (19.4f) in February and battled well to edge a tight finish from 7 lb higher mark back at that venue 87 days ago. Handicapper applies a little more pressure now up in class but not discounted in hat-trick bid. Took form to new level when winning twice at Wetherby in February; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mackenberg |
(1) (33/1 -136%)33/1(-136%) | (1) Mackenberg 33/1, Five-time winner over fences who was poised to get back on the scoreboard before unseating rider late on at Hereford (16f, soft) in March. Struggled in Red Rum at Aintree since but will find this much less demanding. Unlucky not to win at Hereford in March but struggled from early stage at Aintree in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (12/1 -20%) Your Darling |
12/1(-20%) | (2) Your Darling 12/1, Unreliable sort but he posted a career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Ascot (21f, good to soft) in November. Didn't take to the fences on first run since in the Topham at Aintree last month. Not one to rely upon heavily but his good Ascot win in November makes him of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/2 +64%) Mylesfromwicklow |
5/2(+64%) | (6) Mylesfromwicklow 5/2, Cost six figures after winning an Irish point and made a successful chasing debut at Huntingdon in November. Capitalised on the drop in grade fitted with a tongue strap at Market Rasen last time. More needed back at this level but remains unexposed. 2-5 over fences after small-field win in March; this is harder, but he still has potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/1 +0%) Glory And Honour |
11/1(+0%) | (4) Glory And Honour 11/1, Bagged his second chase win at Doncaster in December and not disgraced when third of 9 in better race than this at Sandown (20f, good) 29 days ago. Not ruled out with yard in good form. Progressive and largely consistent over fences for this stable; probably in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (14/1 -17%) Royale Margaux |
14/1(-17%) | (10) Royale Margaux 14/1, Prolific in France but winless for this yard. Ran better than for a while but again didn't really finish her race off when third at Cheltenham last month. Others more persuasive. Creditable second at Cheltenham in December but not in the same form again since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/2 +0%) Sageburg County |
11/2(+0%) | (7) Sageburg County 11/2, Three-time winner over fences last season, including at Chepstow last month. 5 lb rise demands more but he's a player. Career-best form when clearcut winner at Chepstow last month; now 3-7 over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/2 +30%) Malaita |
7/2(+30%) | (9) Malaita 7/2, Held her form well over fences last season and got off the mark in 4-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, soft). Some improvement when following up at Cheltenham last month and this likeable mare should go well again. Ended last season in excellent form, winning at Ludlow and Cheltenham; commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (8/1 -33%) Numitor |
8/1(-33%) | (3) Numitor 8/1, Built on promising return when landing veterans chase at Haydock (19.9f, soft, 10/3) in March, finding plenty. Possibly found a third relatively quick run beyond him at Ayr since so worth another chance back from a short break. Didn't fire at Ayr last month but won valuable Haydock veterans' race in March; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (20/1 -67%) Hystery Bere |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Hystery Bere 20/1, Fairly useful hurdles scorer who made a winning start in this sphere in 4-runner handicap at Warwick a year ago. Mixed record since and just respectable third at Huntingdon latest. Posted sound effort when third at Huntingdon last month but this race is stronger. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A comfortable winner of a valuable mares' handicap at Cheltenham last time out, MALAITA should have plenty more to come despite a 7lb rise as she looks to land the hat-trick. Conditions should be in her favour and Mel Rowley's charge may have too much for Chepstow scorer Sageburg County, as well as Eaton Collina, who has also won his last two in this sphere. Hystery Bere and Mylesfromwicklow cannot be ruled out either.
This looks wide open with the vote going to NUMITOR, who remains on a workable mark and had excuses last time. Likeable pair Eaton Collina and Malaita head the dangers.
The feature race can go to bang-in-form mare MALAITA (nap), who kept on readily to collect a good prize at Cheltenham last month.

1st (5) (5/1 +9%) Cokytho |
5/1(+9%) | (5) Cokytho 5/1, Remains a maiden but was a fair performer in France and hasn't been disgraced in a handful of outings for current yard, latest when third in a chase at Southwell. Should be on the premises again. 0-17 over fences but placed twice this spring; tries a new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4/1 +0%) Higgs |
4/1(+0%) | (6) Higgs 4/1, Has been unreliable in the past but looks resurgent at the moment, scoring again with something to spare at Ffos Las recently. Needs respecting in his hat-trick bid. Took a long time to get off the mark over fences but has won twice this month (once here). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 -87%) Walking The Walk |
14/1(-87%) | (3) Walking The Walk 14/1, Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in July. Not at best both starts since and has left Gordon Elliott (off 8 months) ahead of this return to chasing. Chase/hurdle winner for Gordon Elliott in early part of last season; stable debut today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/11 +39%) Next Left |
10/11(+39%) | (2) Next Left 10/11, Unexposed for this yard and justified strong support when landing a 5-runner event at Warwick 15 days ago. Can do better again and is fancied to follow up. Scored over 2m4f on recent chasing debut and can progress again over 3m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (9/1 -80%) Johnny B |
9/1(-80%) | (4) Johnny B 9/1, On a fair mark and bounced back when runner-up at Chepstow a month ago, so looks a player if he's able to back that up. Stayed on well to go close at Chepstow last month but is far too inconsistent to trust. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (66/1 -100%) Sporty Jim |
66/1(-100%) | (1) Sporty Jim 66/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who was pulled up on his first outing for this stable at this course last time. Plenty to prove and others make more appeal. Not much went to plan on recent stable/chase debut; others look much less risky. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of the unexposed NEXT LEFT, who did it well when scoring comfortably on his chase debut at Warwick earlier in the month. A 5lb rise for that victory looks manageable and the step up in trip can bring about further improvement as he looks to get the better off C&D winner Higgs, who arrives on a hat-trick. Johnny B can have a say in proceedings as well.
NEXT LEFT was heavily backed when scoring at Warwick last time and probably has even more to offer for this stable, so he gets the nod over Higgs, who arrives on a roll. Cokytho is another one to consider.
Resurgent veteran HIGGS is thriving at the moment and might complete a quick hat-trick.

Forget The Way |
(3) (3/1 -33%)3/1(-33%) | (3) Forget The Way 3/1, Won a 2m Worcester handicap for Alan King last summer. Back on track when third at Huntingdon on debut for this stable and may find more in a first-time tongue strap. Kept on well for third on recent stable debut; likely contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (7) (18/1 +45%) Chef De Troupe |
18/1(+45%) | (7) Chef De Troupe 18/1, Modest Flat/hurdles winner who was in good form when last seen over hurdles in 2022. Likely needed the run on the Flat recently but hard to know what he's still capable of in this sphere. Not seen over hurdles since 2022; others have much less to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/2 +44%) Homme D'un Soir |
5/2(+44%) | (1) Homme D'un Soir 5/2, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser for Stuart Crawford in his prime. Has hit the frame three times for this trainer, including when back to form at Warwick last time. Not dismissed. Ran well when fourth at Warwick three weeks ago and Sean Bowen is booked again here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/1 +38%) Skip Mahler |
10/1(+38%) | (4) Skip Mahler 10/1, First run since leaving Mrs Lorna Fowler when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Hood back on. This run should reveal more. Made low-key stable debut this month and now 0-11 over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (12/1 -60%) East End Girl |
12/1(-60%) | (6) East End Girl 12/1, Joined this yard from Lucy Wadham in the summer and won over hurdles at Hereford in October. Run of good form ended at Doncaster 149 days ago but could get back on track if she's ready to go. Won in the autumn but not seen since poor run in December; might find this too competitive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/6 +59%) Kado De Joie |
5/6(+59%) | (5) Kado De Joie 5/6, French recruit who stepped up on his first 2 efforts over hurdles when winning a 5-runner Market Rasen juvenile in February. Firmly back on track when third in handicap at Warwick last time and this doesn't look as strong. Has performed well in both handicaps since his maiden win, and may still have potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 +0%) The Grey Falco |
12/1(+0%) | (2) The Grey Falco 12/1, A fair winning hurdler for Ben Pauling who didn't fire in 3 runs for Thomas Cooper but shaped as if a return to form might be near when fourth at Sedgefield 93 days ago. One to monitor in the betting. Makes stable debut from a workable mark but is tricky to weigh up at the moment. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having finished third over an extended 2m3f on his stable bow at Huntingdon earlier this month, Forget The Way must enter calculations returning to 2m. However, KADO DE JOIE's third-placed effort in a similar contest at Warwick could prove to be the stronger form. Nicky Henderson's gelding edges the vote and a second career victory likely beckons. Homme D'Un Soir was behind the selection in fourth that day and the eight-year-old is also noted.
KADO DE JOIE shaped well from an unpromising position when third at Warwick last time and there's more to come from him as a hurdler, so he takes preference over Forget The Way, who made a solid start for this stable at Huntingdon. The Grey Falco is also worth a mention on debut for a new yard.
Still on a workable mark after his pleasing stable debut, FORGET THE WAY could be hard to beat if that outing has brought him on.

Asa |
(7) (11/4 +0%)11/4(+0%) | (7) Asa 11/4, Regressive maiden who was well backed and duly ran better than for a while with positive tactics adopted for the first time for current connections when narrowly denied at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 3 days ago. Every chance she can go one better provided this doesn't come too soon. Beaten a short head at Market Rasen on Thursday; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (5/4 +23%) Mr Hope Street |
5/4(+23%) | (1) Mr Hope Street 5/4, Looked a totally different proposition upped in trip after a 7-week break when scoring at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) last month, looking the sort who could rack up a sequence. 7 lb rise may not prevent him scoring again given how strong he was at the finish. Won at Market Rasen last month; 7lb higher, but probably still has plenty more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/2 +68%) Getaway With You |
7/2(+68%) | (8) Getaway With You 7/2, Hit and miss for Paul Webber but last seen running creditably when third at Huntingdon (20.7f, good to soft) a couple of months ago. Has since moved yards and more severe headgear is enlisted (first-time visor). Can feature from 2 lb out of weights. 0-11 but ran one of his better races when third last time; visor on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (17/2 -13%) If Karl's Berg Did |
17/2(-13%) | (5) If Karl's Berg Did 17/2, Took advantage of his falling mark when finally opening his account in 5-runner handicap at Fakenham (23.4f) last June and followed up returned to a shorter distance at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) the following month. Returns from 4 lb higher and has since switched yards for just 2,800 gns. Won his last two starts for Milton Harris last summer; absence and soft ground the worries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (3/1 +33%) Ushuaia Dancer |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Ushuaia Dancer 3/1, Bounced back to his best when runner-up at Stratford (22f, good) earlier this month, though again rather promised more than he delivered. Each-way claims if in the same mood. 0-8 under rules but runner-up in two of his last four starts; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 +0%) Well Vicky |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Well Vicky 14/1, Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23, completing a quick-fire hat-trick at Plumpton (2m) last February. Shaped as if better for the run after 4 months off when well beaten at Warwick recently but has a long way to go to recapture her old form. Handicap mark in freefall. Completed a hat-trick early last year, but the wheels have come off since; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (33/1 +34%) Fort Nelson |
33/1(+34%) | (6) Fort Nelson 33/1, Little worthwhile form over hurdles, including in handicaps, and was soon detached sent chasing at Bangor (17.4f, good) 8 days ago. Easily opposed back hurdling. Hasn't finished within 19l of the winner in ten starts under any discipline. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (33/1 +50%) Nick The Greek |
33/1(+50%) | (2) Nick The Greek 33/1, Caused a surprise on first run since leaving Olly Murphy when landing a weak novice at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) in February, belying odds of 40/1 in the process. All 3 subsequent efforts have been poor, so needs first-time cheekpieces to spark a revival back in a handicap. Won on stable debut in February, but nothing like that form since; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The hat-trick seeking If Karl's Berg Did was heading in the right direction last summer and he warrants respect racing off only 4lb higher in the ratings. Preference, however, is for fellow last-time-out winner MR HOPE STREET. A rise in distance unlocked significant improvement in Dan Skelton's charge and his revised mark may not be the ceiling of his ability. Ushuaia Dancer and Asa are also noted.
A few in with a squeak but MR HOPE STREET looked a totally different proposition upped in trip when getting off the mark at Market Rasen last month and with further improvement on the cards, Dan Skelton's charge can defy a 7 lb rise at the expense of Asa, who was very well backed and went down by just a short-head at that same course on Thursday. Getaway With You has joined an up-and-coming yard and he gets the vote for third.
This can go to MR HOPE STREET who shaped as though he has more to offer when off the mark at Market Rasen last month.
Ths is the racecard key.
