1st (1)  (11/4 +39%)Andy Amo |
11/4(+39%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Andy Amo 11/4, Just modest in bumpers but has surpassed that form in making the frame both starts in maiden hurdles, again shaping like a stayer at Ffos Las (20f) latest. Step up in trip seems sure to suit and must enter calculations. In the frame at Ffos Las on both hurdling starts (2m6f/2m4f); each-way claims at least. |
|||
2nd (4)  (8/1 -33%)Pike Road |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pike Road 8/1, Runner-up in a point and offered more than in his sole bumper upped markedly in trip when second in a 12-runner maiden hurdle (23f) at Worcester in July. Off since but open to improvement nonetheless. Second in modest Worcester maiden during the summer; needs a bigger performance here. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/2 -13%)Grand Geste |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grand Geste 9/2, Down the field in 2 bumpers but left previous hurdling exploits in his wake when second of 14 in a novice hurdle at Carlisle (20f) in October, headed dying strides. Ran to a similar level upped in trip when third at Haydock since and likely to be in the thick of the action again. Much improved on last two outings, more recently when third over 3m at Haydock; respected. |
|||
4th (5)  (9/2 +55%)Seatoit |
9/2(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Seatoit 9/2, Fair in bumpers and should learn from his opening effort over hurdles when fifth of 13 in at Chepstow (19.4f, good) 39 days ago, for all that he showed an ungainly side. Displayed clear promise over 2m3f on hurdle debut and looks interesting over today's trip. |
|||
5th (6)  (5/2 -33%)Star Of Diamonds |
5/2(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Star Of Diamonds 5/2, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam (h90), bumper/2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Western Run. Winning pointer at fourth attempt and shaped quite promisingly when fourth of 10 at Haydock on hurdling debut 27 days ago, weakening only late on. Should improve. Irish point winner; promising fourth on rules debut at Haydock; leading contender. |
|||
6th (7)  (150/1 -88%)Synchronist |
150/1(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Synchronist 150/1, Runner-up on completed start in Irish points but was well held switched to Rules in a maiden hurdle at Lingfield 13 days ago. Showed only minor promise when 50-1 for recent stable/hurdle debut (2m3f). |
|||
|U| (8)  (200/1 -100%)Tommy Tucker |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tommy Tucker 200/1, Multiplex gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler The Herds Garden, stays 2½m. Dam, pulled up sole start over hurdles, 7f winner on Flat. Seems very unlikely to meet the required standard on this belated debut. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (14/1 -40%)Camps Bay |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Camps Bay 14/1, Mount Nelson gelding who showed plenty to work on when third of 12 in maiden hurdle (50/1) at Leicester (20.5f, good to soft) on debut 43 days ago, running on late. Open to improvement over this longer trip. Battled on for modest third on debut (2m4f); this step up in trip looks the right move. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (20/1 -67%)Express Run |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Express Run 20/1, Failed to justify support when down the field only start in bumpers but has steadily improved with each run over hurdles, finishing third in 6-runner affair at Newcastle (22f) latterly. Placed on all three hurdling starts but needs to find something extra to land this prize. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (150/1 -50%)Oneandahalfdegrees |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Oneandahalfdegrees 150/1, Well held in maiden/novice hurdle 11 months apart. Did not show a great deal on her first two hurdling starts (both 2m5f). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although unable to justify favouritism when finishing fourth on his hurdles bow at Haydock earlier this month, STAR OF DIAMONDS should have learned plenty from that experience. Any natural improvement should make Emma Lavelle's gelding tough to beat and he is fancied to repel chief rival Grand Geste. He finished ahead of the selection in third at Haydock and is expected to go well, despite being a bit more exposed. Pike Road is the pick of the remainder.
STAR OF DIAMONDS made a promising start to his career under Rules when fourth at Haydock earlier in the month and is put forward as the answer with improvement on the cards. Grand Geste seemed suited by the step up to this trip when finishing narrowly ahead of the selection last time, with Andy Amo also of firm interest now upped in distance.
The suggestion is STAR OF DIAMONDS, who shaped very well when fourth on his rules debut at Haydock four weeks ago.

1st (5)  (14/1 -40%)Don Hollow |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Don Hollow 14/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner in 2022 and caught the eye on comeback run when fifth of 11 in 17f Carlisle handicap in October. Flopped at Sandown next time and well-held at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 26 days ago. Up in trip for powerful yard and market should tell us whether better expected today. Has raced infrequently since 2m3f maiden win two years ago; low-key form of late. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/2 +75%)El Granjero |
7/2(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) El Granjero 7/2, Won twice at Hereford last campaign but fairly quiet start to this season. Took time to warm to his task when fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (23.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces applied now and they need to sharpen him up if he is to be involved in the finish here. Two wins in the spring; below that level since break but now down in grade; cheekpieces on. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/2 -100%)Haarar |
11/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Haarar 11/2, Back-to-back winner over hurdles in May. Well positioned when scoring on Flat at Redcar in November (14f, soft) and ran his best race over hurdles when second at Haydock 27 days ago (19f). Not everything went to plan that day (keen and hampered by loose horse) and player with smoother passage here. Won maiden/novice hurdles; Flat winner over 1m6f in November; badly hampered latest. |
|||
4th (3)  (9/1 -50%)Kikijo |
9/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kikijo 9/1, Won juvenile hurdle decisively on sole start in France. Straight into handicaps on British debut (easy to back and probably needed the run) when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) on 23 days ago. Interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour now upped in trip. Won 2m1f French hurdle in late 2023; needed run on belated return; handicap debut. |
|||
5th (8)  (28/1 -40%)Mcgowan's Pass |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Mcgowan's Pass 28/1, C&D winner who ended a long losing run in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (2½m, soft) in May. However, failed to build on that next time and ran poorly on comeback when pulled up at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 26 days ago. A veteran performer now but does like it here (1st and 2nd from 2 starts). Good C&D record, finishing 2nd and 1st in two attempts; pulled up a long way out latest. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (5/2 +50%)Fresh Speculation |
5/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fresh Speculation 5/2, Has made a promising start in handicaps, progressed from promising third at Stratford (16.3f, heavy) to win a 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 41 days ago. Seemed to relish the testing conditions that day and stamina clearly his strong suit. Respected and any rain would help. Still shows signs of greenness; improved when off the mark latest (2m4f); can improve. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (10/3 -11%)Benassi |
10/3(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Benassi 10/3, Won twice over hurdles in early 2023 and returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained today) when second of 9 at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 26 days ago. He needs to prove he can back up his last run but is 1 from 1 here and has to be respected representing excellent trainer/jockey combination. Lightly raced since two hurdle wins in early 2023; back on track latest (2m4f); fair mark. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (33/1 -175%)San Guido |
33/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) San Guido 33/1, Career-best in Ireland when winning 6-runner juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) back in February when trained by Henry De Bromhead. Ran with credit in France over the summer, winning once (Clairefontaine, 18f, soft) but no easy task on U.K. debut for current connections. Two hurdle wins in 2024 for different yards; another new trainer today following a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A 6lb rise in the ratings for Fresh Speculation's breakthrough victory at Ffos Las last month shouldn't prevent another bold bid, although he may be worth taking on up in class. With that in mind, BENASSI makes slightly more appeal after returning to form when runner-up at Leicester 26 days ago. Olly Murphy's charge scored on his sole visit to this track and a third career triumph could be on the cards. Don Hollow is also noted.
HAARAR is readily preferred here, having been unlucky not to finish closer when second earlier this month, and he can go one better today. Course-winner Benassi is respected on his return to this venue and Fresh Speculation seems to be improving.
Fresh Speculation has more to come but preference is for HAARAR who has looked in good heart on the Flat and over hurdles of late.

1st (5)  (22/1 -22%)Ithaka |
22/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ithaka 22/1, Resumed winning ways at Market Rasen (23f) in December and not disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (25.3f, good) 14 days ago. Considered. Won off much reduced mark this month but some of his less exposed rivals appeal more. |
|||
2nd (6)  (5/1 +29%)Just Chasing May |
5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Just Chasing May 5/1, Course winner in June and has continued in good nick, third of 8 to Twp Stori in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (23f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Not taken lightly off the same mark. Placed all three starts since 2m4f course win in June; likely contender again. |
|||
3rd (7)  (22/1 +45%)No Rematch |
22/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) No Rematch 22/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 and he came in only tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good) 19 days ago. Others appeal more. Fairly useful in his prime but unplaced all four starts for new stable this season. |
|||
4th (9)  (4/1 +0%)Twp Stori |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Twp Stori 4/1, Steadily progressive sort and got back to winning ways in 23f Lingfield handicap last month, forced to dig deep to land the odds. Not ruled out despite taking a 5 lb rise. Held on narrowly for Lingfield win last month; now 2-12 over hurdles; probably in the mix. |
|||
5th (10)  (3/1 +86%)Ca Plane Pour Moi |
3/1(+86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ca Plane Pour Moi 3/1, Had been shaping up quite well for Colm Murphy, but yet to offer much encouragement for his current yard, cheekpieces tried when sixth in 3m Taunton handicap last time. Not written off just yet but is 0-10 over hurdles and needs to up his game. |
|||
6th (1)  (25/1 -25%)Scottish King |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Scottish King 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who posted a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle here (19.9f, soft) in July. Can give a good account back up in trip after a break. Off since respectable fourth here (2m4f) on handicap debut in July but open to improvement. |
|||
7th (11)  (33/1 -10%)Quite The Getaway |
33/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Quite The Getaway 33/1, Made the frame twice from 4 starts in bumpers but offered little in a trio of outings in this sphere for Nigel Twiston-Davies last term. Back with his former yard with plenty to prove after an 11-month absence. Makes handicap debut after a layoff but is worth a glance in the betting. |
|||
8th (2)  (25/1 -108%)Iontach Cheval |
25/1(-108%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Iontach Cheval 25/1, Course winner but he came in last of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) 36 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Unreliable sort. Ran okay on seasonal debut (2m) but well beaten since and has stamina to prove today. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (11/1 +0%)Moor End |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Moor End 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who resumed from 7 months off with a good third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Kept on for third over 2m4f on seasonal/handicap debut; interesting over new trip here. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (12/1 +52%)Dish Of The Day |
12/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dish Of The Day 12/1, Yet to fire this term, only sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) 41 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Beaten about 31l on last month's handicap debut (2m4f) but tries a new trip here. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (13/2 -30%)All Under Control |
13/2(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) All Under Control 13/2, Well supported and much improved on her second run for current yard when landing 9-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (21.8f, soft) 21 days ago. Up 5 lb but big shout once more. Battled well for Fontwell win three weeks ago and still has low mileage. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (16/1 -33%)Clovis Boy |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Clovis Boy 16/1, A dual hurdles winner last term and he got back on track when seventh of 16 in handicap at Hexham (23.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Needs considering. Dual winner last season (2m4f/2m7f) and may still have more to offer this term. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (18/1 -50%)Lady Harriett |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Lady Harriett 18/1, Opened her account at Ffos Las in November but only seventh of 10 in handicap there (20f, heavy) 41 days ago. Sort to bounce back though. Returned to form in new headgear two starts ago but well beaten since; hard to predict. |
|||
|PU| (14)  (22/1 -238%)Hill Of Scarriff |
22/1(-238%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Hill Of Scarriff 22/1, Successful on sole outing in points. Always behind in 3 starts over hurdles but type to do better in handicaps now stepped up in trip. No forlorn hope. Point winner; well beaten in three novice/maiden hurdles but may fare better in handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although point-to-point winner HILL OF SCARRIFF hasn't cut much ice in three qualifying runs over hurdles, the daughter of Schiaparelli makes plenty of appeal going up in distance. An opening mark of 83 looks workable and she may have too much for last-time-out winners Twp Stori and All Under Control. The latter is feared most after showing a willing attitude to score at Fontwell earlier this month.
ALL UNDER CONTROL took a big step forward for her new handler when getting off the mark at Fontwell last time and a 5 lb rise in the weights doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Course winner Just Chasing May heads the list of dangers, although Clovis Boy, Twp Stori and Moor End all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
One with significant potential is MOOR END, who moves up in trip after a very promising seasonal/handicap debut over 2m4f this month.

1st (2)  (11/4 -38%)Eaton Anne |
11/4(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Eaton Anne 11/4, Successful sole outing in Irish points and has placed first 3 starts over hurdles, displaying progressive form. Sent off a strong favourite but disappointing at Plumpton last month. Since had a breathing op. One to consider Disappointed last time but was placed on first three hurdling starts; remains of interest. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/3 +56%)Port Or Starboard |
10/3(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Port Or Starboard 10/3, Fair maiden on Flat who showed a good attitude to get off the mark in this sphere at Exeter in March 2023. Placed all 6 starts that year and off the track a year, he shaped as though retaining all of his ability over C&D 3 weeks ago. Largely consistent in 2023 and returned from one-year layoff with decent run this month. |
|||
3rd (6)  (15/2 +46%)The Cypriot |
15/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Cypriot 15/2, Has shown only poor form over hurdles and dropped away before 2 out under a change of tactics at Ffos Las last month. Tongue strap on down in trip. Shaped well before fading over 2m4f last month; may benefit from this drop back in trip. |
|||
4th (8)  (50/1 -127%)Lyle View |
50/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lyle View 50/1, Runner-up on the last of 3 outings in points and showed a bit on Rules debut at Kelso in October. Suffered heavy defeats since, though, including on handicap debut. Hood fitted back over 2m. Remains unexposed but was pulled up when 40-1 for recent handicap debut. |
|||
5th (3)  (40/1 -100%)Victory Club |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Victory Club 40/1, Landed a bumper for Dan Skelton in 2022. Missed whole of following year but runner-up in a Wincanton maiden in March. Probably needed run when last of 16 in Cheltenham handicap last month but didn't fare any better at Lingfield latest. Towards rear throughout at Lingfield this month and now 0-5 over hurdles. |
|||
6th (9)  (6/1 +8%)Oneforthefairgreen |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Oneforthefairgreen 6/1, Still to get her head in front but she posted a good second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Leicester, closing all way to line. Never able to land a blow at Exeter since and a visor is now on. Ran well last month, after a break, but not in same form last time; headgear switched. |
|||
7th (1)  (14/1 -56%)Present Fair |
14/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Present Fair 14/1, Brushed off a disappointing run over fences when winning a C&D handicap a year ago. Followed that with a string of below-par efforts until a fifth-place finish on the back of a breathing op at Worcester in June. May have needed last month's reappearance and he's back in trip. Placed in the summer but weakened quickly here last month; others are less risky. |
|||
8th (10)  (28/1 -40%)Mambo Beat |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mambo Beat 28/1, Fair winner at 10f on Flat but not reached that level in this sphere. Well beaten in a claimer this month and makes only limited appeal on handicap return. |
|||
|F| (7)  (18/5 +10%)Dickens |
18/5(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dickens 18/5, Fairly useful dual Flat winner. Yet to get near that level over hurdles, often proving too free, as he did on return from1 8 months off at Chepstow. That was a sound effort though and he's in good hands. Ran well when fifth of 14 at Chepstow in October, after a long layoff; enters calculations. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (9/1 +25%)Guinessed |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Guinessed 9/1, Poor maiden hurdler who merely plodded on for fourth of 8 on handicap debut in September. Well held when fourth on handicap debut in September but remains unexposed. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (40/1 +0%)Galactic Glow |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Galactic Glow 40/1, Modest winner at 10f on the Flat. First form in this sphere when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good) but could never land a blow in the mud at Exeter latest. Placed on fast ground last month but well beaten on soft since; not the obvious answer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
PORT OR STARBOARD hasn't won for the best part of two years, but invariably runs well and made a pleasing enough return from the sidelines when fourth here recently. Granted natural progression, he can take advantage of a sliding handicap mark, although Eaton Anne has undergone wind surgery since flopping at Plumpton and better is anticipated. Dropping back from 2m4f could see Present Fair in a better light, while Dickens has to be considered too.
EATON ANNE is bang there on the pick of his form and dangerous if a breathing operation has had the desired effect, with Dickens another to consider.
Consistent 7yo PORT OR STARBOARD (nap) ran well this month, after a one-year layoff, and is taken to exploit a career-low hurdle mark.

4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Jo Lescribaa 4/1, Placed in a couple of French bumpers and showed ability over hurdles last season. Ran up to best despite let down by jumping when third on chase bow at Ludlow on return and has plenty of room for improvement. Clumsy at a few when 3rd to subsequent winner on chase debut at Ludlow (3m); needs fluency. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/2 +46%)Grove Road |
7/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Grove Road 7/2, Back to form since leaving Archie Watson, winning at Newton Abbot and Huntingdon. Disappointed at Hereford 3 weeks ago but of interest making first start over fences for current stable. Modest chaser for previous yard; won 2 hurdles for J Owen; tame latest; 5lb lower now. |

3rd (9)  (9/1 -38%)Shady B |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Shady B 9/1, Minor promise in trio of starts over hurdles and confirmed chase/handicap debut promise when narrow winner at Chepstow when last seen in March. Remains with potential. Looked to have potential at this level when 2m7f winner on soft in March but off since. |
|||
4th (5)  (9/1 +18%)Jessie Lightfoot |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jessie Lightfoot 9/1, Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver during the spring, scoring over fences at Taunton and Southwell. Good placed efforts at Cheltenham and Plumpton since before out of depth at Hereford. Can bounce back. In fine form of late; out of the weights latest; more at home at this level; thereabouts. |
|||
5th (3)  (100/1 -150%)Rostello |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rostello 100/1, Not straightforward but put it all together under a good ride when winning 4-runner Southwell handicap in April. Took little interest there following month, however, and well held on return/yard debut at Wetherby last month. Just 1lb above latest winning mark in April; pulled up and finished remote in 2 runs since. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (9/2 +44%)Myfanwy's Magic |
9/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Myfanwy's Magic 9/2, Maiden but good runner-up efforts over hurdles last 2 starts, including at Ludlow on return. Out of a winning chaser so should take to this sphere. Thereabouts without winning over hurdles, including at 3m; possibilities on chase debut. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (11/1 +21%)Shesupincourt |
11/1(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Shesupincourt 11/1, Won twice over hurdles last season and best effort over fences when fourth over C&D 11 days ago. Claims with a repeat. Two staying hurdle wins; closest yet over fences when 4th over C&D latest; in the mix. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (12/1 -41%)Ali Star Bert |
12/1(-41%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ali Star Bert 12/1, Three-time 3m chase winner in the mud last season. Up and down this term but when close at Southwell 2 weeks ago so needs considering. Won over hurdles and fences here; mostly in good form at 3m; has less to prove than most. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (14/1 +30%)Decorated |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Decorated 14/1, Disappointed over hurdles last season and well held both runs sent chasing this term at Warwick and Lingfield (almost unseated first) this winter. Has lots to prove. Hurdle wins at 2m4f/2m3f; errors crept in on chase debut; badly hampered, pulled up since. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (15/2 -25%)Dusautior |
15/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dusautior 15/2, Won 3m novice handicap chase at Bangor in April and back to form when placed last 2 starts. Not taken lightly. Had wind op since good 3rd over 3m2f; handy weights turnaround with 2nd Croagh Patrick. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (25/1 -257%)Croagh Patrick |
25/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Croagh Patrick 25/1, Ended long losing run at Carlisle 16 days ago but not an obvious one to follow up off 8 lb higher. Still well weighted despite going back up 8lb for recent 3m2f win; that was a slog though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CROAGH PATRICK deservedly regained the winning thread with a taking performance over further at Carlisle last time out, and an 8lb rise for that success looks manageable. He can follow up, with Dusautior looking best placed to chase him home having undergone wind surgery since a creditable placed effort at Carlisle. A determined winner in March at Chepstow when last in action, Shady B is capable of being in the shake-up as well.
This looks an open event with the vote going to GROVE ROAD making his first start over fences for his current stable. Jo Lescribaa offered plenty to work on when third on his chase bow/return at Ludlow and is another to consider, while Myfanwy's Magic is an interesting chase debutant.
Dusautior has to be respected on his form with Croagh Patrick at Carlisle but ALI STAR BERT might be the one today.

1st (9)  (3/1 +54%)Taras Halls |
3/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Taras Halls 3/1, Bumper winner who was winless over hurdles but respectable start over larger obstacles, 13 lengths second of 8 to Knockanore in handicap chase at this C&D (heavy, 4/1) 11 days ago. Not taken lightly provided he brushes up his jumping. Left behind by Knockanore when second over C&D 11 days ago but that was still a good run. |
|||
2nd (6)  (17/2 +15%)Lime Drop |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lime Drop 17/2, Filled the runner-up spot 5 times over fences before deservedly getting off the mark over 2m here in November. Creditable effort from revised mark when third at Hereford (2m) 3 weeks ago and she ought to be competitive again back at this longer trip. More exposed than most of these over fences but in good form; probably won't be far away. |
|||
3rd (3)  (3/1 -9%)Knockanore |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Knockanore 3/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler who returned to the pick of his form in that sphere when resuming winning ways in 8-runner C&D handicap 11 days ago, by 13 lengths from Taras Halls. Definite claims with a repeat despite 10 lb higher mark to contend with. Back in prime form now and drew 13l clear of Taras Hall over C&D 11 days ago. |
|||
4th (1)  (7/2 0%)I'm Ravenous |
7/2(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) I'm Ravenous 7/2, Won a Sedgefield maiden hurdle in October and followed up on his chase and handicap debut at Warwick (2½m, good) in November. Similar form when runner-up at Doncaster (19f) later that month and respected for yard who continue in good form. Made all on chase/handicap debut in November and ran well in defeat later that month. |
|||
5th (2)  (16/1 +20%)Ito Ditto |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ito Ditto 16/1, Much improved last term, registering a third victory over hurdles in handicap at Lingfield (19.5f, heavy) in March. However, pulled up both starts over fences since returning in October and he has it to prove at present. Three-time hurdle winner but stopped quickly and was pulled up in first two chases. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (5/1 +23%)Itsnoteasy |
5/1(+23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Itsnoteasy 5/1, £100,000 recruit from the Irish pointing field who made it third time lucky in 2½m maiden hurdle here 12 months ago. Operating below best in pair of handicaps so far this winter but this switch to chasing could well see him in a much better light now. One to monitor in the betting for clues. Course winner over hurdles last season and also has a point success on his CV; chase debut. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (12/1 -71%)Accidental Legend |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Accidental Legend 12/1, Fair hurdler who boasts a fine record here, adding a third course success to his tally over 23f in April. Entitled to be sharper for his reappearance run here 21 days ago and he appeals as the type to make his mark now tackling larger obstacles. 5-17 in hurdles; ran okay on seasonal debut but still on career-high mark for chase debut. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (16/1 -129%)Hermes Du Gouet |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hermes Du Gouet 16/1, Point/hurdles winner and best effort over fences last season when second of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, heavy) in March. Ran poorly after 8 months off when pulled up at Hereford (25.2f) 5 weeks ago and blinkers enlisted now. Ended last season with a good run but pulled up on reappearance; blinkers tried today. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (100/1 -150%)Slip Of The Tongue |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Slip Of The Tongue 100/1, Ended time with Padraig Roche in Ireland out of sorts and he showed nothing having been easy to back when pulled up back over hurdles at Aintree for new yard last month. Hard to warm to back over larger obstacles. 0-10 over fences in Ireland; pulled up over hurdles on last month's stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KNOCKANORE opened his account over fences with an impressive success over course and distance. Ryan Potter's charge has scope for further improvement as a chaser and could prove difficult to beat with a conditional jockey helping to ease the burden of a 10lb rise. I'm Ravenous made a bold bid to land a hat-trick when runner-up at Doncaster and another good account looks on the cards, while Lime Drop is in with a shout too.
KNOCKANORE returned to the pick of his form when opening his account in a C&D handicap 11 days ago and a repeat should see him go close again for all the handicapper has certainly had his say. I'm Ravenous and chasing-debutants Accidental Legend and Itsnoteasy are another couple to note.
Preference is for I'M RAVENOUS, who made a bright start to his chasing career last month and probably still has potential.

1st (2)  (16/1 -14%)A Path To Ronda |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) A Path To Ronda 16/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Getaway filly. Half-sister to numerous winners, including high-class hurdler/top-class chaser Simonsig and useful hurdle winner/smart chaser Dusart. Lot to like on papaer. Half-sister to Simonsig and Dusart; with that pedigree, she needs a close look. |
|||
2nd (5)  (5/1 -25%)Diamonds Galore |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Diamonds Galore 5/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy filly. Strong in the betting but never looked like justifying the confidence behind her when sixth of 11 in bumper at Warwick (16f, soft, 13/8) on debut. Still, she represents a top outfit so better expected. Only sixth when warm favourite for debut but can improve if she settles better here. |
|||
3rd (6)  (33/1 -50%)Ghina Di Tacco |
33/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Ghina Di Tacco 33/1, Soldier of Fortune filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart chaser (stayed 21f) Easter Meteor. One to note on debut (stable also responsible for Harmony Heights). Out of a well-connected mare but this newcomer is seemingly the stable's second string. |
|||
4th (7)  (15/2 -15%)Harmony Heights |
15/2(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Harmony Heights 15/2, €60,000 3-y-o, £42,000 5-y-o, Flemensfirth mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chase winner Densworth. Trainer’s newcomers command serious respect. Bought for £42,000 after Irish point second in January; of interest on rules debut. |
|||
5th (3)  (22/1 +0%)Briery Rose |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Briery Rose 22/1, Sir Percy filly. Dam (c139/h134) 2½m/21f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3m). Second foal; dam smart jumper for these connections; one of two newcomers from stable. |
|||
6th (9)  (14/1 +0%)Karlita Desbois |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Karlita Desbois 14/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Beaumec De Houelle filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Rebel Fitz and smart hurdler (stayed 25f) Ubak. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Out of a well-connected mare and makes some appeal on paper. |
|||
7th (13)  (15/8 +66%)Rock Sensation |
15/8(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Rock Sensation 15/8, £48,000 4-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel filly. Dam, runner-up sole start in points, sister to useful hurdler/chase winner (stays 3m) Rock My Way. Runner-up sole start in points in March. Clear second in Irish point debut; winner of that race impressed on her recent rules debut. |
|||
8th (11)  (15/2 -88%)Lets Mingle |
15/2(-88%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lets Mingle 15/2, Point winner who displayed plenty of ability when sixth of 12 in bumper at Aintree (17f, good to soft, 16/1) on NH debut 65 days ago. May well do better, particularly as her stamina is drawn out. Irish point winner; sixth in good race at Aintree on rules debut in October; can improve. |
|||
9th (1)  (4/1 +11%)Annie Hathaway |
4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Annie Hathaway 4/1, Getaway mare. Sister to fair hurdler Forget The Way, stays 2¼m, and half-sister to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Midnightreferendum. Big price but produced a promising first effort when second at Warwick a month ago. Kept on well for second of 11 at Warwick last month; ought to go well again here. |
|||
10th (10)  (50/1 -213%)Kershaw County |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kershaw County 50/1, First form of a bumper winner, half-sister to fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Clarendon Street out of useful chaser (2¼m-2½m winner, stayed 2¾m) Carrigeen Kalmia. Out of bumper-winning half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Clarendon Street; yard runs two. |
|||
11th (12)  (125/1 -150%)Majestic Bo |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Majestic Bo 125/1, Conduit mare. Dam (c104/h96), 2¼m hurdle winner, half-sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 4m) Living Next Door. Second foal from a point/hurdle winner; stable not known for bumper success. |
|||
12th (8)  (100/1 -52%)Havanacheekiun |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Havanacheekiun 100/1, Milan filly. Dam (c104/h114) 21f/2¾m hurdle winner (stayed 25f). Stoutly bred filly who might be one for a bit further down the line. |
|||
13th (4)  (33/1 +0%)Compromising |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Compromising 33/1, €6,000 3-y-o, Marcel filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Its'afreebee. One to take seriously on debut. Out of half-sister to useful Flat/jumps winner Its'afreebee; yard does well in bumpers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Annie Hathaway showed plenty of promise when second at Warwick on her racecourse debut. She should confirm superiority over Diamonds Galore, who could only manage sixth on that occasion but is a likely improver. A winner between the flags, LETS MINGLE faced a tough task in a competitive bumper at Aintree in October. This could prove more her level and she gets the vote.
ANNIE HATHAWAY found an experienced stablemate too good on debut at Warwick last month but she beat the rest easily enough and a repeat of that may well suffice. Newcomers are feared most, headed by Harmony Heights and A Path To Ronda before market clues.
Recent events suggest ROCK SENSATION bumped into a very good filly when a clear second on her Irish point debut in March.

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.
