1st (7)  (4/1 -45%)Supasunrise |
4/1(-45%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Supasunrise 4/1, Matched his hurdles form at the second attempt over fences last season when getting off the mark in handicap at Huntingdon (19.9f) on Boxing Day. Below form on his final 3 starts of the campaign, but back on track when a close third at Southwell last month. Shortlisted. Kept jumping to the right when close up at Southwell; that's a concern around here. |
|||
2nd (8)  (9/1 +18%)Eurkash |
9/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Eurkash 9/1, Only one win from 22 starts (on his second try over fences) but showed better signs earlier this year, running creditably when third in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f) in April. On a career-low mark as he returns from 6 months off. Respectable third at Huntingdon in April and he might be a better horse left handed. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 +22%)Miltiades |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Miltiades 7/2, Remains a maiden but showed encouragement switched to chasing when third in Stratford handicap (19.4f) in April. Not in the same form when 22 lengths second at Uttoxeter next time, but he has gone well fresh in the past and can make his presence felt. Maiden but placed over hurdles and fences; return to softer ground is a positive. |
|||
4th (4)  (3/1 +45%)Bonza Boy |
3/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bonza Boy 3/1, Didn't kick on from a promising reappearance over hurdles last season, but not discredited on his first start over fences when making the frame in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f) in March. Still looking for his first win but could have more to offer as a chaser. Maiden; kept on for fourth on chase debut in March having been hampered. |
|||
5th (10)  (15/2 -50%)Hannah's Walk |
15/2(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hannah's Walk 15/2, No better than mid-division over hurdles but showed aptitude for chasing when fifth of 8 in handicap at Bangor (3m) last month, albeit finishing well held having raced freely. Entitled to progress as she drops back down in trip. Beaten a long way in all completed starts, latterly on her chase debut at Bangor (3m). |
|||
|F| (6)  (40/1 +39%)Nine Nine Nine |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nine Nine Nine 40/1, Runner-up in Fakenham maiden on hurdling debut back in 2021/22 but failed to build on that effort in his 3 subsequent starts, leaving Nigel Twiston-Davies after his second outing of the campaign. Best watched as he goes chasing after 19 months off. Maiden; comfortably held in two hurdles for this yard back in early 2022. |
|||
|U| (2)  (9/2 -29%)Walk In The Wild |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Walk In The Wild 9/2, Made the perfect start sent chasing last season, landing back-to-back handicaps at Lingfield in November. After a couple of below-par efforts, back to form when runner-up at this C&D in March, before a respectable fourth at Chepstow the following month. Major player. Had a solid campaign over fences last season and returns with plenty in his favour. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (18/1 +40%)Reine Fee |
18/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Reine Fee 18/1, Ended losing run when off the mark over fences at Ludlow (20f) in May last year. After 18 months off, shaped as if retaining ability on first outing since leaving Henry Oliver when sixth at Ffos Las 24 days ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort. Has won over fences but comfortably held last time following a long absence. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (20/1 +60%)Getaway With You |
20/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Getaway With You 20/1, Showed little in a bumper and novice/maiden hurdles and he looks to be up against it as he makes his handicap/chase debut from 9 lb out of the weights. Poor hurdler in various headgear and he's out of the weights for this his chasing debut. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (40/1 -122%)Alkajack |
40/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Alkajack 40/1, Made the frame once from 4 outings in points but hasn't offered much in 3 starts in maiden hurdles in Ireland this season. Has work to do as he makes handicap/chase debut on his first run for yard after leaving Stuart Crawford. Ex-Irish gelding bought for 7,000gns; not the obvious answer on chase/handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
WALK IN THE WILD made a winning return last season and Gary Moore's charge might be worth siding with on his reappearance today. The son of Walk In The Park is just 1lb above his last successful mark and will have no problem with the forecast ground conditions. Miltiades was a well-beaten third (later promoted to second) at Uttoxeter when last seen but he has plenty of scope for improvement and must go on the shortlist. Supasunrise is able to compete from an unchanged mark, having finished a good third at Southwell last time, and he is another to consider.
Successful on her first 2 starts over fences, WALK IN THE WILD returned to form when runner-up at this C&D in March and she can make a winning return having edged back down in the weights. Miltiades has gone well fresh in the past and merits consideration making only his third chase start, with Supasunrise completing the shortlist.
Henry Daly's MILTIADES could be the one, having made the frame in both disciplines and he'll enjoy this return to softer ground.

1st (6)  (10/11 +48%)Helnwein |
10/11(+48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Helnwein 10/11, Third on his only start in points. Useful bumper winner who makes obvious appeal on hurdles bow. Bumper winner and good effort when third in March; shortlisted on hurdle debut. |
|||
2nd (11)  (8/1 +20%)Toonagh Warrior |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Toonagh Warrior 8/1, Fair form at best in handful of bumper starts and ran to a similar level when third in 14-runner Kilbeggan novice hurdle (2m) 61 days ago. Possible he can build on that so not taken lightly starting out for new yard (has left Philip Fenton). Ran well enough on hurdle debut in Ireland to have hopes in this. |
|||
3rd (7)  (25/1 +50%)Kilbarry Hill |
25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kilbarry Hill 25/1, Blue Bresil gelding. £38,000 buy after finishing runner-up twice from 5 starts in Irish points. Second twice in Irish points; hurdle debut; Sean Bowen rides stable's other runner. |
|||
4th (18)  (6/1 -33%)Smurfette |
6/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (18) Smurfette 6/1, Twice-raced maiden. 3/1, third of 13 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, soft), unable to sustain effort. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Respected. Ran well enough in two bumpers last season to make her of interest on hurdle debut. |
|||
5th (9)  (8/1 +0%)Nordic Tiger |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Nordic Tiger 8/1, Ran to a fair level when 16¾ lengths fourth of 7 in claimer at Dax on hurdling debut and similar form 15 months later when fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on yard debut last month. Entitled to come on for that. Ran well enough when fourth at Uttoxeter last month to hold place prospects, at least. |
|||
6th (3)  (22/1 +0%)Commanding View |
22/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Commanding View 22/1, Showed a bit in a couple of bumpers and better effort over hurdles when sixth of 12 in novice at Ludlow (15.8f, good to soft), well positioned. Off 6 months. Fair sixth at Ludlow when last seen in April but deal more needed to beat some of these. |
|||
7th (15)  (9/2 +10%)Fortune Forever |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Fortune Forever 9/2, Showed ability in bumpers last season, hitting the frame in 3 of 4 starts. Promising start over hurdles when second of 10 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good, 4/1) 34 days ago and sets the standard. Consistent in bumpers and second over C&D on hurdle debut; likely contender. |
|||
8th (5)  (33/1 -230%)Heard That |
33/1(-230%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Heard That 33/1, €7,000 3-y-o, £23,000 4-y-o, Watar gelding. Dam unraced. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points. Fourth of 8 in bumper at Hexham (16.2f, heavy, 4/1) on NH debut 25 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Second in an Irish point; beaten a fair way in a bumper last month; hurdle debut. |
|||
9th (16)  (250/1 -150%)I Look How I Look |
250/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) I Look How I Look 250/1, Sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Nube Negra but only poor form in bumpers and well held on hurdling debut. Modest form in bumpers and well beaten on last month's hurdle debut. |
|||
10th (14)  (80/1 -60%)Elle Est Beau |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Elle Est Beau 80/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 20/1, eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) on hurdles bow 26 days ago. From family of Many Clouds and probably needs more time. Well held in a bumper and tailed off on last month's hurdle debut. |
|||
11th (2)  (150/1 -275%)Brandt |
150/1(-275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Brandt 150/1, Showed a bit in a couple of bumpers for Gordon Elliott and shaped as if better for the run on first outing for 6 months when down the field at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 31 days ago. Second in an Irish bumper; down the field on last month's hurdle/stable debut. |
|||
12th (4)  (66/1 -100%)Dusautior |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dusautior 66/1, Winning Irish pointer. Eighth of 15 in novice hurdle (11/2) at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) on NH debut 13 days ago. Likely to come into his own over longer trips later on. Irish point winner; well held when eighth on hurdle debut last month. |
|||
13th (8)  (40/1 -21%)Molly's Third Man |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Molly's Third Man 40/1, Didn't offer enough in 2 bumpers in the spring to suggest she's likely to strike on hurdling debut. Well held in two bumpers; hurdle debut. |
|||
14th (1)  (20/1 -122%)Bingo Little |
20/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bingo Little 20/1, £64,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Coney Island. 5/2, sixth of 8 in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, good to firm) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Disappointed in a bumper; wind surgery since; should be capable of much better. |
|||
|PU| (17)  (150/1 -50%)Shirley Knott |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (17) Shirley Knott 150/1, Fair form at best in bumpers and seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Ffos Las (21.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Modest bumper fom and well beaten on last month's hurdle debut. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (300/1 -20%)Yogi's Trail |
300/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Yogi's Trail 300/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Matt Sheppard when fourteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 13 days ago. No promise in either start. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (300/1 -20%)Ballet Blanc |
300/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Ballet Blanc 300/1, Modest maiden on Flat and largely below form in that sphere this year. Saddle slipped when pulled up in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f, soft, 500/1) on NH debut 13 days ago. Very modest Flat maiden and was pulled up on last month's hurdle debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Dan Skelton launches a three-pronged assault with SMURFETTE, Elle Est Beau and I Look How I Look, of which the former is preferred. She ran well in defeat on both of her starts in bumpers, but the daughter of Blue Bresil appeals as the type to thrive over hurdles this season and her pedigree also suggests that may be the case. Fortune Forever didn't jump with fluency on her hurdles bow last month but she ought to be wiser this time around. Others to note include Helnwein and Heard That.
Useful bumper winner HELNWEIN is bred for the jumps so can make a winning start in this sphere at the main expense of Fortune Forever, who made a promising start over hurdles when second over C&D. Smurfette is another interesting hurdling newcomer.
With good bumper form from last season, HELNWEIN is given the nod on his hurdle debut.

4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Rockinastorm 4/1, Bumper winner in 2021 but just fair form at best over hurdles and was out of sorts when last seen. Bit to prove on chasing debut. Bumper winner; maiden over hurdles; others more appealing now switched to fences. |
|||
2nd (4)  (12/1 -33%)Pachacuti |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pachacuti 12/1, Emphatic winner over hurdles at Fakenham in February but wasn't in the same form at Warwick 8 months ago. Yard isn't really firing but he's a chasing type on looks. Hurdle winner; chasing debut; yet to tackle this trip but has stamina in pedigree. |
|||
3rd (7)  (10/1 +0%)Betterforeveryone |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Betterforeveryone 10/1, Got off the mark at Bangor (23f) over hurdles last October and generally respectable efforts since. Has the physique for chasing, so not discounted on return. Won first time out last season over hurdles; not as good since; chasing debut after break. |
|||
|F| (5)  (11/4 +31%)Hurlerontheditch |
11/4(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hurlerontheditch 11/4, Fair hurdler who was in form when last seen and should be tuned up for this first crack at chasing. Not discounted. Ran well enough over hurdles to warrant interest on chasing debut; up in trip; wind op. |
|||
|F| (2)  (11/2 +15%)Howaya Now |
11/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Howaya Now 11/2, Made the frame both completed starts in Irish points and stepped up on previous hurdling efforts when second at Newbury 7 months ago. Should take to this discipline, so merits respect. Good second over hurdles when last seen in March; could be firmly involved now chasing. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (4/1 -20%)Hot Rod Lincoln |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hot Rod Lincoln 4/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points and was getting his act together over hurdles towards the end of last season, opening his account in a novice at Fontwell when last seen 6 months ago. Looks a player on first go over fences. Won modest maiden hurdle in May; starts chasing life on good mark and won Irish point. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (11/2 -57%)Farmer's Gamble |
11/2(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Farmer's Gamble 11/2, Took his form up a notch when back to winning ways in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Exeter in February. Disappointed at Haydock subsequently but chasing is likely to bring more out of him. Worth chancing to make a winning return. Three hurdle wins; tailed off when last seen but can be expected to make his mark chasing. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (40/1 -150%)Tango Echo Charlie |
40/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tango Echo Charlie 40/1, Made a winning start over fences at Fontwell in August but pulled up in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) 36 days ago, folding tamely. Has an experience edge over his rivals but needs to bounce back. Chase winner at Fontwell in August but was pulled up on latest start last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
An open event in which only a tentative vote can go to HURLERONTHEDITCH. A consistent performer over hurdles last season, David Pipe's charge is a brother to the useful Majestic Maid and a chasing mark of 112 looks to be well within his capabilities. Point winner Hot Rod Lincoln struck over timber when last seen in May and he is an interesting candidate now switched to fences, while Fontwell winner Tango Echo Charlie would be in with a chance if able to put last month's Southwell disappointment behind him.
FARMER'S GAMBLE is a chasing type on looks and should be well tuned up for this return, so he gets the marginal vote in an open-looking race. Hot Rod Lincoln is also the type to do better in this sphere, so he's feared most ahead of Howaya Now.
A handicap mark of 109 could enable HOT ROD LINCOLN to make a winning debut over fences.

10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Enqarde 10/1, Landed the Tommy Whittle at Haydock off 5 lb higher in December 2021, but largely struggled since and needs to bounce back in a major way following a break/another round of wind surgery. Out of sorts last season and has undergone another wind operation since. |
|||
2nd (5)  (6/1 +79%)Docpickedme |
6/1(+79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Docpickedme 6/1, Bagged 3m handicap hurdles at Southwell and Doncaster last winter, but pulled up both starts during the spring. Switched yard since and hard to know what to expect of him back chasing following a 6-month absence. Two hurdle wins last season; first chase start for 19 months; more to prove than some. |
|||
3rd (3)  (13/2 -44%)Major Dundee |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Major Dundee 13/2, Limited to just 3 starts last season, but looked better than ever when landing the Midlands Grand National at Uttoxeter (3½m, soft) in March, producing an exhibition round of jumping. This 8 lb higher mark looks manageable and he will be a danger to all if ready to roll following a break. Won Midlands Grand National when last seen; even this trip could be too sharp. |
|||
4th (4)  (3/1 -20%)Jet Plane |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jet Plane 3/1, Appeared to relish the switch to front-running tactics when signing off last season with a clear-cut success at Ludlow, but looked equally happy given a more patient ride when following up on return at Newton Abbot (25.8f, soft). 6 lb rise fair enough and he has to enter calculations. Newton Abbot win last month after a break; up 6lb but heading in right direction. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (5/2 +44%)Arizona Cardinal |
5/2(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Arizona Cardinal 5/2, Made a successful debut over fences after a wind operation in 2½m handicap at Bangor on return last season. Added to that with a career-best display at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) when last seen in May and a 4 lb rise is unlikely to debar another bold show. Uttoxeter winner when last seen in May and also won on last season's reappearance; claims. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (9/2 +40%)Bobhopeornohope |
9/2(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bobhopeornohope 9/2, Dual winner during novice campaign in 2021/22 and produced a game display when adding to his tally from the front at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) last December. Ran no sort of a race over that C&D on latest start during the spring, though, and looks vulnerable under top-weight here. Two Ludlow wins but was pulled up there when last seen in April. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (28/1 +15%)One More Fleurie |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) One More Fleurie 28/1, On a good mark judged on peak form, but he hasn't shown much during the last 2 seasons and there's no real reason to envisage a revival here. All four wins in early 2021; has mostly struggled since; down in the weights now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Several in-form rivals come together to make this an intriguing clash, with the hat-trick seeking pair Jet Plane and Latitude both very capable of extending their winning runs if everything goes right for them again. However, ARIZONA CARDINAL is 2-5 so far in chases and having improved in leaps and bounds since undergoing wind surgery, he could be hard to beat resuming off just 4lb higher than his 3m Uttoxeter success in May. Midlands Grand National winner Major Dundee also commands respect despite an 8lb higher mark.
This looks pretty competitive, with LATITUDE, Jet Plane, Major Dundee and Arizona Cardinal all seriously appealing on the back of career-best performances last time. Preference is for the first-named, who looked a chaser going places with decisive back-to-back wins during the spring. Jet Plane is the only member of the aforementioned quartet with a recent run under his belt, which could count for plenty, and he is feared most ahead of Midlands National winner Major Dundee.
With proven form and fitness, JET PLANE can add to last month's success.

1st (8)  (7/1 +42%)Annie Day |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Annie Day 7/1, Gambled-on and left previous efforts behind to get off the mark for her new yard returning from 20 months off at Fontwell (19f, good) last year. Not in same form in a pair of subsequent outings, looking amiss at Fontwell when last seen, and market may prove best guide after a further 9 months off. Won on return from absence last November (2m3f, good); not repeat it; longer break today. |
|||
2nd (10)  (3/1 +40%)Giulietta |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Giulietta 3/1, Related to some useful performers in these silks and got closer than previously when seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) in April. Very interesting now switched to handicaps. Glimmer of ability in qualifying runs; goes handicapping off lowly mark; interesting. |
|||
3rd (7)  (3/1 +40%)Bushtucker Park |
3/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bushtucker Park 3/1, In-frame in a pair of maidens in the spring before showing improved form fast-tracked to handicap company when fourth of 11 at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to soft) in May. One to consider on her return. Reasonably encouraging handicap debut over 2m4f in May; has scope for some improvement. |

4th (12)  (10/1 +17%)My Granny Lily |
10/1(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) My Granny Lily 10/1, Held her form quite well in defeat last season, making the frame on all 4 of her starts in handicaps. Out of the weights here but she's not completely ruled out of doing something similar on return from 9-month absence. In the frame in all 4 handicaps; improvement needed to have winning chance from 5lb wrong. |
|||
5th (11)  (16/1 +43%)Damask |
16/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Damask 16/1, Only poor form shown in 4 starts last season, failing to improve for the switch to handicaps when sixth of 12 at Ludlow (21.2f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Hard to fancy. Minor promise so far; needs plenty more than when sixth on handicap debut over 2m5f. |
|||
6th (9)  (14/1 +0%)Backinforglory |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Backinforglory 14/1, Improved when second of 14 on handicap debut at Huntingdon in March 2022. Not seen since finishing fourth at that track barely a week later, so it's tricky to know how much ability remains, though. Comes into it on her 2nd over 2m4f in March 2022 but has a long absence to overcome. |
|||
7th (4)  (40/1 +0%)Minnie Beets |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Minnie Beets 40/1, Little show in 5 starts for Gordon Elliott, including when down the field over 3m at Killarney last month. Has joined a shrewd yard, though, so is worth a market check with cheekpieces applied. Showed little for G Elliott in Ireland, including when 40-1 for both handicaps; new yard. |
|||
8th (5)  (14/1 +50%)Ol'river Shine |
14/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ol'river Shine 14/1, Third in her sole point and made the frame in maiden events at Plumpton and Wetherby on her first 2 starts. Ran no sort of race on her handicap debut at Ludlow, however, so has bit to prove on return. Showed ability in Irish point; beaten long way on handicap hurdle debut in April (2m5f). |
|||
|F| (1)  (5/1 +50%)Sweet Magic |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sweet Magic 5/1, Ran up to her best when runner-up over C&D in March but failed to confirm that form when last of 7 at Chepstow on her next outing. Others preferred. Solid effort in this context when 2nd over C&D in March (soft); less to prove than some. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (12/1 -9%)Sunshine Girl |
12/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sunshine Girl 12/1, Showed improved form stepping up in trip to score at Southwell (24.3f) in July on her final start for Stuart Crawford. Mixed bag in 3 starts for current yard and again found little at Uttoxeter last time, so others make more appeal. Stays well and in good form in July and August but failed to do herself justice last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
PRETENDING is yet to break her maiden over hurdles but, given she ran a blinder to finish second in a premier handicap under Brony Frost at Cheltenham in April, this significant ease in grade provides her with a golden opportunity if raring to go on her return. Sweet Magic is closely matched with the selection based on the official ratings and should go well if the rain stays away, while Bushtucker Park and Criquette are a couple of others with reasonable place claims.
GIULIETTA starts on a very lowly mark for top connections and appeared to be getting the hang of things towards the end of last season, so she's fancied to make a winning handicap debut. Bushtucker Park is another lightly-raced sort and merits respect, with Pretending taken to complete the placings.
Pretending is respected but GUILIETTA (nap) receives weight from most of these and is set to improve for the switch to handicaps.

1st (3)  (7/2 +50%)Woodie Flash |
7/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Woodie Flash 7/2, Irish point winner who also landed a 23f maiden hurdle at Worcester in July. Cut little ice on both subsequent starts there in handicaps but may still do better with few miles on the clock now stepping up in trip. Worcester maiden winner three starts ago; well held latest; up in trip. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/2 +21%)Bobo Mac |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bobo Mac 11/2, Veteran who was useful at his best and confirmed he still has lots to offer when scoring at Chepstow (23.6f) 12 months ago. Hasn't been able to reproduce that effort in 4 subsequent starts but has been given a serious chance by the handicapper on return with cheekpieces reapplied. 7lb lower than when winning a year ago but well beaten all four starts since. |
|||
3rd (4)  (22/1 -267%)My Last Oscar |
22/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) My Last Oscar 22/1, Has been off for 7 months since coming in last of 4 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, heavy). Needs to hit the ground running on his reappearance. Won on seasonal return in 2021 but showed very little last term. |
|||
4th (2)  (18/1 -50%)Fevertre |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fevertre 18/1, Well backed and showed improved form when second in 3m Carlisle handicap on return in November 2021. However, not in the same form at Catterick 6 weeks later and hasn't been seen under Rules since (runner-up both start in points, latest 12 months ago). Market can guide expectations. Absent since a defeat in a maiden point a year ago. |
|||
5th (6)  (8/1 +6%)Time For A Pint |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Time For A Pint 8/1, Irish point winner who has finished well held in 3 runs over hurdles (latest here after 9 months off). Could easily prove a different proposition now handicapping over a longer trip. Heavy defeats in three novice hurdles but needs market check on handicap debut. |
|||
6th (7)  (14/1 -17%)Loch Garman Aris |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Loch Garman Aris 14/1, Dual scorer over fences at Bangor in May 2021 and retains a bit of ability in the twilight of his career, finishing runner-up in big-field handicap at Uttoxeter (23.3f, soft) when last seen 6 months ago. Cheekpieces reapplied. Has never won over hurdles but good 2nd of 17 when last seen in May. |
|||
7th (5)  (13/8 +14%)Horizon D'Or |
13/8(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Horizon D'Or 13/8, Has upped his game since joining this stable, scoring comfortably at Fontwell in September. Disappointed at Uttoxeter next time but resumed progress with cheekpieces refitted when winning with a bit in hand at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to soft) last month. Respected despite a 7 lb rise. 2-4 for this yard; 7lb higher than for last month's Ffos Las win; strong candidate. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (15/2 +25%)R Bernard |
15/2(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) R Bernard 15/2, Poor maiden hurdler and little impact in 4 starts over fences, albeit leaving the impression he can make more of an impact at some point at Uttoxeter (24f, soft) last month. Back over timber here and is one to keep an eye on with first-time headgear applied. Little form since a narrow defeat in March 2022; cheekpieces fitted. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (40/1 +0%)Earcomesbob |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Earcomesbob 40/1, Placed 3 times in 3m handicap chases in 2021-22 but yet to recapture that form, pulled up for the third time in last 4 starts when last seen here 6 months ago. Back over hurdles but it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Pulled up in a chase when last seen six months ago; 7lb out of the weights. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HORIZON D'OR scored by just over two lengths at Ffos Las last month and he was given a 7lb rise for that success. The six-year-old has two wins from four starts for the Adam West stable and he could continue his upward curve to complete a double here. The main threat might be My Last Oscar, who disappointed when well supported for a class 3 event at Taunton on his latest outing in March and could get involved if putting his best foot forward. Of the remainder, Loch Garman Aris makes the most appeal after his second at Uttoxeter.
Plenty in with chances and it could pay to side with veteran BOBO MAC, who failed to get competitive last term after scoring at Chepstow but has been given a major chance by the handicapper ahead of his return. Horizon d'Or has made a fine start to life with Adam West so he may well emerge as the main danger, with R Bernard and Woodie Flash another couple fancied to go well.
Most of these have plenty to prove so HORIZON D'OR may well win again.

Runner-up on last of 3 starts in Irish points.in April. Produced low-level RPRs when completing in her two Irish points and probably up against it. |

Dam unraced, closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chase winner (stays 2½m) Cornerkova.

22/1(-120%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Musique De Fee 22/1, £40,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury filly.

|||

Newcomers from yard often fancied. Has had a breathing operation/wears tongue strap. An interesting newcomer for a yard that's won this bumper twice since 2017. |
|||
9th (16)  (18/1 +10%)The Dream Goes On |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) The Dream Goes On 18/1, Kayf Tara filly. Dam 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Charlie's Vic. Dam 2m hurdle winner; one of two newcomers from this yard. |

Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (2m/17f winner) Knight In Purple. 18/1, promising second behind useful prospect on debut at Worcester in May, taking keen hold and headed only late on.

|||
11th (5)  (14/1 +0%)Chooch |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chooch 14/1, Doyen filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Bhaloo. Noteworthy newcomer. Lots of stamina in her pedigree and probably more of a long-term prospect. |
|||
12th (15)  (80/1 -60%)Shakeyatailfeather |
80/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Shakeyatailfeather 80/1, €50,000 half-sister to useful hurdler Watch House Cross. Third completed start in points but held in steadily-run bumper at Ffos Las for Harriet Dickin in May. Fourth of six in a slow time at Ffos Las (fast-ground bumper) and makes limited appeal. |
|||

25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Pacific 25/1, 3,000 gns 4-y-o, Zoffany filly. Half-sister to Top Brass. Dam, 1¼m-1¾m winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2¼m) Poseidon. Half-sister to GB 1m2f AW 2yo/US 2m1f hurdle winner Top Brass (RPR 82). |

Entitled to improve. Second at Southwell but the third was close up and she's looking limited. |
|||
15th (3)  (66/1 -313%)Bob O Rhino |
66/1(-313%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bob O Rhino 66/1, £75,000 4-y-o, from family of useful chaser (stays 23f) Lord Schnitzel and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2¾m) The Dubai Way.

16th (4)  (33/1 +34%)Candy Paint |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Granny Hawkins shaped with plenty of promise to finish second at Southwell on her debut under Rules and, with normal progression, she ought to have a say. However, preference is for the 55,000-pound purchase BABY SHALLY, whose sister Victory Club struck on her first bumper start and, having won her sole point-to-point start, the daughter of Solder Of Fortune could make an impression for the Anthony Honeyball yard. Any market confidence behind Let It Rain would also be of interest.
LET IT RAIN could be another successful newcomer in bumpers for the Skeltons and gets the vote over Giver The Hollie and the experienced Marmalade Time, who shaped well at Worcester in the spring.
Some of the newcomers are interesting and BEHIND THE VEIL is from a yard with a good record in this bumper.

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.
