1st (8)  (9/2 +25%)Clararose |
9/2(+25%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Clararose 9/2, Runner-up on her final start in bumpers last season and back on track in a first-time tongue tie when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, good, 9/1) 24 days ago. Should be bang there from the same mark. 0-8 but was runner-up at Fakenham last time and has claims if she can back that up. |
|||
2nd (3)  (15/2 -36%)Midnight Gold |
15/2(-36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Midnight Gold 15/2, Belatedly off the mark in this sphere in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) when last seen 11 months ago, driven clear having led last. Has clearly benefited no end from the fitting of cheekpieces and may do better still on reappearance from 6 lb higher. Back from a lengthy absence but she won last time and is respected for in-form yard. |
|||
3rd (1)  (5/1 +38%)Kit's Coty |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Kit's Coty 5/1, Placed all 3 starts in Irish points (£60,000 purchase) and made it third time lucky in this sphere when landing a mares' maiden at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. Shaped as if amiss on handicap debut 6 weeks on at Wincanton, so needs to leave that well behind. Had an excuse on heavy last time and she could resume her progress after short break. |
|||
4th (13)  (8/1 +68%)Our Friend Mo |
8/1(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Our Friend Mo 8/1, Bettered anything she achieved over hurdles at the first attempt over fences when runner-up in handicap at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) in December. However, her form has gone the wrong way since, pulled up at Exeter the last twice. Switches back to hurdling. Pulled up over fences last twice and she's now 0-11; lots to prove back over hurdles. |
|||
5th (7)  (11/2 +21%)After Many Days |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) After Many Days 11/2, Didn't perform at all badly under an inexperienced amateur when fifth of 13 on handicap debut at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) and built on that when third over a similar trip at Southwell (heavy again) next time. Not so good at Hereford since, however. Disappointing latest but she's still lightly raced and has claims if she can bounce back. |
|||
6th (4)  (9/1 +36%)Annie Magic |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Annie Magic 9/1, Irish point winner who showed fairly useful form over hurdles last in 2022/23. Not as good as her form figures over fences last time round might suggest and ran poorly returned to hurdling at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) in March. Best watched. Pulled up in three of her last five runs and she needs a major turnaround. |
|||
7th (14)  (16/1 +36%)Miss Ghillie |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Miss Ghillie 16/1, Failed to complete both starts in points last spring and has well held in 3 mares maiden hurdles. Makes handicap debut and market can guide expectations returning from 3 months off. Still early days and now goes handicapping off lowly mark but she needs to show a lot more. |
|||
8th (5)  (33/1 -106%)Trump Lady |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Trump Lady 33/1, Point/novice hurdle winner who offered little on chase bow but bounced back to form when scoring at Exeter back in January 2022. Shaped as if still in good form at Wincanton 8 days later but not seen since and returns for a new stable. Watching brief advised. Well treated on old form but she returns after 831 days off and is best watched. |
|||
9th (11)  (8/1 -23%)Grain Of Hope |
8/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Grain Of Hope 8/1, Half-sister to useful hurdler Zanjabeel and has taken well to hurdling, runner-up twice before going one better at Ludlow (2m) in October. Well held sent handicapping after 13 weeks off at Cheltenham 18 days ago but this looks much more suitable stepping up in trip. Had tough task at Cheltenham and she could kick on again at this new trip; dangerous. |
|||
10th (10)  (100/1 -100%)Darsi's Darling |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Darsi's Darling 100/1, Modest form when third in bumper on debut and matched that level at the third attempt over hurdles, filling the same position in mares' novice at Sedgefield (19.8f) in January 2023. Showed nothing after 9 months off on handicap debut when last seen in November and so looks an easy swerve. Pulled up at big price on handicap debut in November and has plenty to prove on return. |
|||
11th (6)  (14/1 +30%)Well Vicky |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Well Vicky 14/1, Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23, completing a quick-fire hat-trick at Plumpton (2m) last February. Only seen twice last season (pulled up both times) so percentage call is to look elsewhere after 4 months off despite a tumbling mark. Won three in a row early last year but she's been pulled up last twice; something to prove. |
|||
12th (2)  (16/1 -33%)Just Sophie |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Just Sophie 16/1, Won 19.5f Huntingdon novice hurdle last March and standout effort in 2023/24 season was when fourth of 7 at Market Rasen (23.1f, soft) in November. Headgear goes on returning from a break and that needs to spark some sort of revival. Has not gone on since her win last March and was pulled up last time; headgear now added. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (18/1 -50%)Pollyonesock |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Pollyonesock 18/1, Limited form in bumpers/hurdles and low-key start for this yard on handicap bow at Ludlow. Unseated rider second on chase debut at Southwell (20.4f, good) recently and quickly reverts to timber. Things have not gone well in two handicaps for this yard and she has questions to answer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
This is wide open and not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, CLARAROSE showed a bit more promise when second over 2m4f at Fakenham last month and looks worth chancing, given she is still learning her trade and runs off the same mark. Midnight Gold's Southwell success reads well in the context of this race and she rates the biggest threat to the selection off just 6lb higher. Grain Of Hope and After Many Days are just a couple of others to monitor in the betting.
CAUGHTINASPELL offered little on her 5 starts in Ireland but she's been allotted a modest mark as a result, and starting out for a yard with good record with new recruits, she's worth chancing for the in-form Olly Murphy yard. Second choice is Grain of Hope, who should appreciate this step up in trip, with Clararose and Midnight Gold taken to fight out third.
An open race in which CLARAROSE gets the vote ahead of Midnight Gold, Grain Of Hope and Kit's Coty.

1st (4)  (3/1 +33%)Get Sky High |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Get Sky High 3/1, Point/bumper winner who showed plenty to work on sent hurdling after 19 months off when third of 14 in a maiden at Hereford (16.2f, soft) in November 2022. Off further 17 months and may have needed the run on last month's return. This will reveal more. Point/bumper winner but she didn't fire after another long absence at Chepstow last month. |
|||
2nd (10)  (16/1 +0%)Dame Sarra |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Dame Sarra 16/1, Modest handicapper on Flat, stays 1¾m, respectable effort last time. Has left Ed Dunlop ahead of this hurdles debut with blinkers left off. Two AW wins for Ed Dunlop; had wind op in March and market should guide on hurdling debut. |
|||
3rd (7)  (40/1 -100%)Red Panda |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Red Panda 40/1, Sir Percy filly who offered little in a brace of bumpers. Hood on now hurdling. In rear in both bumpers and needs to do a lot better on this switch to hurdling; hood on. |
|||
4th (5)  (9/2 +25%)Hot Fizzy Lizzy |
9/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hot Fizzy Lizzy 9/2, Fair bumper winner who wasn't seen to best effect when well held on her hurdling debut here in October, badly hampered 3 out and not given at all a hard time after. Promise at Stratford the following month too and she represents an excellent yard. Bumper winner who showed promise in her last hurdle run; in the mix on return. |
|||
5th (8)  (40/1 -21%)Take A Hike |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Take A Hike 40/1, Runner-up both completed starts in Irish points but minor promise only on last March's hurdles debut. Runner-up in two Irish points but she made a low-key start over hurdles in March. |
|||
6th (6)  (80/1 +20%)Misting |
80/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Misting 80/1, Little promise in bumpers to end 2023. Tailed off in both bumpers and she needs a transformation on this switch to hurdling. |
|||
7th (1)  (20/1 +39%)Apples Moon |
20/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Apples Moon 20/1, From the family of very smart hurdler/chaser (2m-2¾m winner) Finian's Oscar. Has looked a work in progress in bumper/both hurdles outings. Well held in all three runs including when 50-1 on hurdling debut last month; opposable. |
|||
8th (2)  (8/11 -18%)Avakate |
8/11(-18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Avakate 8/11, Off the mark at the second attempt in Irish bumpers for Andy Slattery and improved again when seeing off Listentoyourheart and 11 others in a listed contest on debut for new connections at Doncaster in December. Just fifth at Market Rasen since but a hurdles newcomer of serious interest. 2-4 in bumpers and the last win was in a Listed race; strong contender on hurdling debut. |
|||
9th (3)  (200/1 -100%)Darquesse |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Darquesse 200/1, Looks very limited on early evidence. Tailed off in a bumper and pulled up massive prices in all three hurdle runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
AVAKATE has shown stacks of promise in bumpers, both on these shores and in Ireland, and is introduced to hurdling at a very realistic level. The Alan King-trained gelding is readily suggested as the most notable contender, although there should be more to come from Dan Skelton stablemates Hot Fizzy Lizzy and Get Sky High, especially the former who showed ability at Stratford when last seen and can be fancied to take a step forward here.
AVAKATE was talented enough to win twice in bumpers, and kept to her own sex now hurdling, this looks a very good opportunity. Dan Skelton is responsible for Get Sky High and Hot Fizzy Lizzy and they appear to be the chief threats.
The most striking contender is Alan King's AVAKATE, who won a Listed bumper in December and could have a bright future over hurdles.

1st (5)  (8/11 +27%)Irish Lullaby |
8/11(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Irish Lullaby 8/11, Useful stayer on Flat for Jessica Harrington. Bought for 65,000 gns in December and shaped with plenty of encouragement sent hurdling in a first-time hood at Market Rasen (2m) 5 weeks ago. Looks sure to improve and hard to look past here. Useful triple Flat winner who was a promising third on hurdling/stable debut; key player. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/1 -43%)Irish Chorus |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Irish Chorus 10/1, Just modest form at best in 3 bumper outings and given a considerate introduction to hurdling on the back of 3 months off/a wind op at Kempton (2m) 7 weeks ago (Cher Tara behind). Should have more to offer. Encouraging start over hurdles at Kempton and has each-way claims if she can build on that. |
|||
3rd (3)  (6/1 -33%)Idylle Sauvage |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Idylle Sauvage 6/1, Irish point winner who improved on second start over hurdles in similar event over further at Haydock 5 weeks ago. Can do better again. Irish point winner who wasn't beaten far at Haydock last time and she's not ruled out. |
|||
4th (8)  (22/1 -175%)The Last Drop |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) The Last Drop 22/1, Modest form in bumpers, second fitted with a tongue tie on final start in Ireland. Well held starting out for this yard at Southwell last month and switches to hurdling now. Didn't shine on stable debut last month and has bit to prove on this switch to hurdling. |
|||
5th (2)  (12/1 +0%)Cher Tara |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cher Tara 12/1, Caught the eye under a considerate ride at Kempton (2m) 7 weeks ago, not given at all a hard time having travelled well (also hung right in straight/lost shoe). Probably one for handicaps over further. Some promise at Kempton last time, when she had traffic issues; should have more to offer. |
|||
6th (1)  (14/1 -133%)Barra Blue |
14/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barra Blue 14/1, Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers when third on heavy ground at Huntingdon. Should have a future over jumps. Clear promise in the first of her two bumpers and she should have a future over hurdles. |
|||
7th (7)  (7/1 +72%)Love At Sea |
7/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Love At Sea 7/1, Winning pointer who backed that up with a good second in a Down Royal bumper on her first go under Rules in June 2022. Didn't progress though and not seen for 15 months. Makes hurdles debut with Sean Bowen up. Irish point winner but has something to prove on this hurdling debut after a long absence. |
|||
8th (6)  (125/1 +17%)J'ventile |
125/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) J'ventile 125/1, Little impact in bumpers/over hurdles. Didn't show a great deal in three bumpers and she's struggled in both hurdle runs. |
|||
9th (9)  (28/1 -12%)Honeybun |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Honeybun 28/1, No impact in 2 juvenile hurdles. Fell on debut in February and was tailed off at Market Rasen latest; can only be watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
IRISH LULLABY, who reached a mark of 96 on the Flat in Ireland, is a highly-notable type now he has switched codes and, having shown distinct promise on his hurdles debut at Market Rasen in late March, the son of Nathaniel is a stand out selection in this company. Open to any amount of improvement, the five-year-old could have too much for this opposition. Idylle Sauvage is feared most, although Barra Blue can be fancied to show up well despite this being her hurdles debut.
Useful Flat stayer IRISH LULLABY made an encouraging start over hurdles for new connections at Market Rasen and is hard to get away from in a thin maiden with improvement on the cards. Idylle Sauvage and Irish Chorus are dangers.
Preference is for IRISH LULLABY, who was a useful triple Flat winner in Ireland and made a promising start over hurdles in March.

1st (1)  (5/2 -100%)Fiston De Becon |
5/2(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fiston De Becon 5/2, Shaped well over fences prior go to getting off the mark in this sphere in straightforward fashion at Southwell in March before following up in a 3-runner handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good) last month. 5 lb higher mark looks workable. Has won the last two of his five chase starts and is open to more progress; big player. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/4 +36%)In This World |
9/4(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) In This World 9/4, Prominent in the market after a 4-month break but disappointed when only twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) 19 days ago. Still enough promise from his runs in the autumn to think he could still make an impact from this mark now chasing. Mixed record over hurdles but he's on a reduced mark and is not ruled out on chase debut. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/2 +13%)Onewayortother |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Onewayortother 7/2, Promising effort when third in a novice hurdle behind Willmount on return but underwhelming since. Needs to bounce back over hurdles. Has had wind surgery but he needs a major upturn in form on this switch to fences. |
|||
4th (5)  (11/1 -175%)Isholo Du Vivien |
11/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Isholo Du Vivien 11/1, Point winner was placed on all 3 outings in maiden/novice hurdles this winter but underwhelmed switch to a handicap at Musselburgh (19.8f, heavy, 5/2) 31 days ago. Could do better again now switched to fences. Point winner who looks a possible improver on this switch to fences; one to keep an eye on. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (9/2 +36%)Gitche Gumee |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Gitche Gumee 9/2, Fairly useful winner over hurdles has seemingly been brought along gradually in 2 starts over fences so far. Cheekpieces applied for first outing since December. Still early days over fences but he needs improvement after 142 days off; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FISTON DE BECON scored in comfortable fashion to complete a double at Hereford last month and a 5lb rise for that victory looks lenient. With the Olly Murphy yard bang in form, he could prove very hard to beat, with his main threat possibly being Gitche Gumee, who sports first-time cheekpieces after his third at Doncaster off a 3lb higher mark in December. Of the remainder, Onewayortother makes the most appeal on his handicap/chase debut.
FISTON DE BECON appeals as the most solid option in his bid to bring up the hat-trick. In This World still rates as an interesting chase newcomer despite disappointing over hurdles last time, whilst point- winner Isholo du Vivien could do better now switched to chasing.
This can go to Olly Murphy's progressive chaser FISTON DE BECON, who forged clear when completing a double at Hereford.

1st (6)  (4/1 -45%)Trapista |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Trapista 4/1, Had been proving expensive to follow in this sphere, but capitalised on her reduced mark when winning a novice event at Hereford (16f, soft) last month. Scored with plenty in hand so she's not taken lightly back up in trip. Cashed in on a reduced mark at Taunton and he's strongly respected back up in trip. |
|||
2nd (2)  (7/2 -5%)God's Own Getaway |
7/2(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) God's Own Getaway 7/2, Low-mileage 6-y-o who returned to form over hurdles when third at Market Rasen in March. Built on that effort when making a successful chasing debut in handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good) 13 days ago. Respected. Beat a clear second when scoring on his chase debut at Southwell; big player again up 6lb. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/2 +73%)Miltiades |
11/2(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Miltiades 11/2, Off the mark at Ludlow in December and ran at least as well when second at Taunton (23f, good to soft) later the same month. However, in first-time tongue strap he was tailed off at Leicester when last seen in January. His form slumped at Leicester in January and has bit to prove again on his return. |
|||
4th (4)  (17/2 -6%)Will Sting |
17/2(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Will Sting 17/2, Mixed record in 2023/24, but backed up his previous runner-up effort when third at Southwell (20.4f, good) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's capable of getting involved if on a going day. 1-9 over fences and was 9l behind God's Own Getaway at Southwell last time; work to do. |
|||
5th (5)  (8/1 -100%)American Gerry |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) American Gerry 8/1, Successful twice over hurdles in 2021/22 and, with headgear reapplied, overcame positional bias when getting back to winning ways in handicap chase at Taunton (21.7f, good) 12 days ago. Remains on a workable mark. Got off the mark over fences at Taunton last time; up 4lb but he should go well again. |
|||
6th (3)  (8/1 -7%)Stroll On By |
8/1(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Stroll On By 8/1, Quickly developed into a better chaser than hurdler, getting off the mark in novice handicap at Exeter (17.5f, soft) in October. Below form at Sedgefield on his latest outing, but it remains early days for him in this sphere. Still has potential as a chaser but he needs to kick on again after another break. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (10/3 +17%)Dream In The Park |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dream In The Park 10/3, After a disappointing start over fences, showed much more like his winning hurdles form when fourth in handicap chase at Ascot (21f, good to soft) in March, short of room before the last. Major player with more still to offer. Unexposed chaser who was only beaten around 4l at Ascot in March; in the mix. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
God's Own Getaway did what was required of him in this grade when scoring at Southwell last time and he is likely to be on the premises once again off a 6lb higher rating. However, he could come out second best to TRAPISTA, who may have been worth more for his victory than the winning margin suggests over 2m at Hereford last month and an 8lb rise might not be enough to halt him. The seven-year-old should have no issues with this longer trip and he looks the one to beat. Last-time-out winner American Gerry completes the shortlist.
Twice a winner over hurdles, DREAM IN THE PARK ran to a similar level on his third start over fences when fourth at Ascot in March, despite having met trouble, so he is taken to open his chase account with improvement to come. Trapista returned to winning ways on her latest outing and is feared most, ahead of American Gerry.
6yo GOD'S OWN GETAWAY won on his chase debut at Southwell last month and he gets the vote ahead of recent Taunton winner Trapista.

8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) King's Castle 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles who ran up to when third at Taunton last time. Should give another good account. 0-7 over hurdles; in a consistent vein of form but now goes back up in grade. |

2nd (5)  (5/4 +55%)Davidoc |
5/4(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Davidoc 5/4, £60,000 buy after winning at the fourth time of asking in the Irish pointing field and built on some encouraging efforts over hurdles when easily landing a novice at Plumpton last time. Opening mark looks fair and there's more to come, so leading claims. Justified favouritism in Plumpton maiden last time and may well build on that win. |
|||
3rd (8)  (11/2 +8%)Kado De Joie |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kado De Joie 11/2, French recruit who stepped up on his first 2 efforts over hurdles when winning a 5-runner Market Rasen juvenile in February. Not in quite the same form when sixth of 9 on 2m Ascot handicap debut since but it's still early days. Henderson-trained 4yo who has low mileage and may do better still. |
|||
4th (3)  (22/1 -38%)Homme D'un Soir |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Homme D'un Soir 22/1, Pretty useful hurdler/chaser for Stuart Crawford in his prime. Placed twice in handicap hurdles for new yard in the winter but he needs to shrug off a a couple of poor runs. Ran poorly the last twice; new headgear needs to prompt a turnaround. |
|||
5th (1)  (14/1 -75%)Isabella Bee |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Isabella Bee 14/1, Has improved plenty for the switch to handicaps, completing a hat-trick in 14-runner event at Taunton in November. Failed to beat a rival in listed event at Newbury next time but could get back on track after 5 months off. Well held in Listed grade five months ago; has form figures of 2111 in handicaps. |
|||
6th (2)  (17/2 -42%)Jeudidee |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jeudidee 17/2, Bumper winner who created a good impression in making a successful start over hurdles in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester in August. Added to his tally in good style in an Exeter novice in October and not disgraced when third in handicap at Ludlow 6 months ago. Not seen since. Overall record is 3-6 and he could still have further progress in him; interesting. |
|||
7th (10)  (17/2 +39%)Cuban Court |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Cuban Court 17/2, Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped well on his handicap debut following a wind op when second of 17 at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) in January. However, failed to build on that effort over the same C&D next time. Best on good ground; well held on heavy last time; still unexposed in handicaps. |
|||
8th (7)  (28/1 -133%)Skip Mahler |
28/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Skip Mahler 28/1, In good form before unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (20f, soft). Off 6 months. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Lorna Fowler. Worth monitoring in the betting. 0-11 in Ireland but was placed on four occasions; debut for new stable. |
|||
9th (11)  (18/1 +28%)Treasured Company |
18/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Treasured Company 18/1, Dual 2m hurdles winner in 2021. Lightly raced since but yet to hit top form this term. Has weak claims on recent form; held by Commanding View on latest effort. |
|||
10th (12)  (40/1 -60%)Rock On Tommy |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Rock On Tommy 40/1, Two-time 2m scorer at Uttoxeter last July but comes here out of sorts and others make more appeal. Has a major question mark over current form. |
|||
11th (4)  (16/1 -60%)Walk Of No Shame |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Walk Of No Shame 16/1, Bumper/novice hurdle winner last winter who added to her tally in a 3-runner handicap at Southwell (2m, soft) in December. Not disgraced next time but pulled up at Leicester since and needs to bounce back. Sole handicap win looks weak form and she's 2lb above that mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Jeudidee has a 100 per cent record here after winning a bumper last year and, with two wins from four starts over hurdles, he could get involved in the finish. Davidoc took his maiden at Plumpton on his first start after wind surgery and looks reasonably treated off a mark of 108, but ISABELLA BEE could be worth another chance. Out-gunned at Listed level in December, the return to handicap company may see her get back to winning ways after two victories at Uttoxeter and one at Taunton last autumn.
DAVIDOC opened his account in ready fashion at Plumpton last time and there should be even more to come, so he takes preference over Commanding View and King's Castle, who also arrive in good order.
Handicap debutant DAVIDOC (nap) is taken to build on his Plumpton success and follow up. Jeudidee is second choice.

1st (12)  (10/1 +17%)Newtonian |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Newtonian 10/1, Remains a maiden after 20 runs but he has reached the frame on 5 of his last starts, finishing third of 11 over 23f at Exeter latest. Should figure again. 0-20 but was a close third at Exeter (2m7f) last time and has each-way claims again. |
|||
2nd (2)  (14/1 -115%)Prince De Juilley |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Prince De Juilley 14/1, Maiden jumper who ran one of his better races when second of 13 in Stratford handicap hurdle 15 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. Back to form when runner-up at Stratford (3m2f) and has claims if he can back that up. |
|||
3rd (7)  (7/1 +30%)Jack The Farmer |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jack The Farmer 7/1, Finally got off the mark with a ready success at Worcester (23f) last July. Runner-up twice subsequently but and claims if fully primed after 6 months off. Close second in this race last year and he needs watching in market after 204 days off. |
|||
4th (1)  (20/1 -43%)Lepashe |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lepashe 20/1, Point winner who has shown fair form at best over hurdles but struggled last season, including remote fourth in 3m Chepstow maiden hurdle 5 weeks ago. Inconsistent ten-race maiden and he needs a major revival back in a handicap. |
|||
5th (6)  (13/2 +19%)Steal My Sunshine |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Steal My Sunshine 13/2, Pair of handicap hurdle wins in the first half of last season. No impact over fences this spring but has dipped to his last successful mark and no surprise were he to stage a revival back hurdling. Back on last winning mark but he needs to turn things around back over hurdles. |
|||
6th (11)  (6/1 -167%)He Is A Cracker |
6/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) He Is A Cracker 6/1, In good form at the start of last season, placing 3 times (including this race on reappearance) before winning over fences at Fontwell in September. Capable when fresh. Respected. Easy win over fences in September and he's only 3lb higher back over hurdles; big player. |
|||
7th (15)  (25/1 +24%)Elfride |
25/1(+24%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Elfride 25/1, Improved to win a 23f Uttoxeter handicap last spring but little of note since, including last of 7 at Chepstow 23 days ago. Record of 1-15 and she's struggled since her Uttoxeter win 12 months ago. |
|||
8th (8)  (7/2 +78%)Ri Na Cuirte |
7/2(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Ri Na Cuirte 7/2, Modest form over hurdles, beaten 18 lengths when second of 5 on 3m Doncaster handicap debut in March. Failed to back that up when down the field at Exeter 5 weeks later. Still lightly raced but he's not progressed over hurdles and was tailed off last time. |
|||
9th (14)  (40/1 -21%)Dakota Beat |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Dakota Beat 40/1, Won a 23f Bangor handicap last August. Also a creditable fourth at Hexham in September but off since a below-par effort at Uttoxeter in September. Still 3lb higher than for his win last summer and has some work to do after 230 days off. |
|||
10th (9)  (14/1 -100%)Caspers Court |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Caspers Court 14/1, Won back-to-back handicaps around 21f in early 2023. Unable to make a significant impact since but his mark has dipped and he might have needed the outing at Exeter last time after 4 months off. Yard's good record in this (won it in 2021 and 2022) makes him of some interest Well treated if he can get back on track and yard won this in 2021 and 2022. |
|||
11th (4)  (150/1 -500%)Espinator |
150/1(-500%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Espinator 150/1, A three-time hurdles winner in 2021. Also second at Newton Abbot in September 2022 but pulled up on return from long absence in March. Has something to prove after that. Very lightly raced in recent years and was pulled up on his comeback in February. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (6/1 +40%)Just Jess |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Just Jess 6/1, Now 5 lb below the mark off which she hit the target at Catterick in January 2023. Mixed record since but could be dangerous if a recent wind operation has had a positive effect. Inconsistent mare who comes with risks attached after a short break; had another wind op. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (9/1 -80%)Pride Of Paris |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pride Of Paris 9/1, Improved to make a winning handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell in January, proving game. Unseated early in chase at Taunton sole outing since. Respected back hurdling. Won over hurdles in January and he could find more progress at this new trip; in the mix. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (20/1 +20%)Floating Rock |
20/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Floating Rock 20/1, Regular winner over the years but 0-5 for current yard, albeit he was entitled to have needed a recent Stratford outing after a year off. Last win was in a seller in 2022 and he's been well beaten in five runs for current yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Trainer Kayley Woollacott won this race in 2021 and 2022 and it will be interesting to see if Caspers Court comes in for any market support. He has won four times off higher marks and cannot be discounted, but HE IS A CRACKER could be the one to side with despite his long absence. An easy winner over fences in September, he is better handicapped over hurdles and has gone well fresh before, which may be all he needs. Just Jess is another to consider for the in-form Sue Smith stable.
Dan Skelton won a division of this race 12 months ago and STEAL MY SUNSHINE might be worth siding with to stage a revival back hurdling having dipped to his last successful mark. Kayley Woollacott also has a good recent record in this race and her Caspers Court is another who is well treated if bouncing back to form. Pride of Paris and Newtonian also make the shortlist in a wide-open finale.
This can go to HE IS A CRACKER, who won by 16l over fences last time and is only 3lb higher on this return to hurdling.

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.
