(7)  (15/8 +46%)Solar System |
15/8(+46%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Solar System 15/8, Confirmed previous promise with plenty in hand at Fontwell in April and wasted no time getting back on track after 6 months off when third in 15-runner handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago, going a little in snatches. Needs considering for in-form yard. Improving 5yo; outgunned after the last on reappearance; likely better ground a plus today. |
|||
(4)  (3/1 +25%)Baskerville |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Baskerville 3/1, Confirmed promise of previous run when landing a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) in June and better form in defeat in handicaps since, looking as if he was marginally outstayed upped in trip after 3 months off at Hereford on most recent outing. Should go well again. Worn down late at Hereford latest (2m5f, good; pair clear); up 5lb but far from exposed. |
|||
(2)  (7/2 +13%)Jilaijone |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jilaijone 7/2, Without a win since his British debut but went close a few times last season and ran creditably returning from 7 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap at Cheltenham (16.4f, good) in October. Readily brushed aside by Double Powerful at Fontwell since but there's no shame in that. Modest strike-rate but bumped into one at Fontwell 12 days ago; in the mix again. |
|||
(5)  (8/1 +11%)One Eye On Vegas |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) One Eye On Vegas 8/1, Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces, winning handicaps at Leicester and Hereford in January/February. Solid efforts next 2 starts and was held up when hampered and unseated fifth on return at Carlisle. Progressive on slow ground last season; badly hampered when unseating on return; chance. |
|||
(3)  (9/1 -38%)Cloud Dancer |
9/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cloud Dancer 9/1, Well backed and shaped encouragingly when second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 57 days ago, closing all way to line. Cheekpieces on first time and must enter calculations. Better effort when 2nd at Fontwell eight weeks ago; cheekpieces now added; low mileage. |
|||
(1)  (14/1 -75%)Classic Maestro |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Classic Maestro 14/1, Progressive hurdler in the mud last season, making the most of a good opportunity to complete a hat-trick in this sphere at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) when last seen in March. Safe to assume he could have more to offer but isn't sure to be as effective under these less testing conditions. Thriving in the mud when last seen; returns with his yard going well; quicker ground the ?. |
|||
(6)  (28/1 -40%)Barricane |
28/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Barricane 28/1, Not straightforward (has a lazy streak) but enhanced a decent strike rate when scoring over 25f at Huntingdon in February. Underperformed at Southwell on final outing but has won fresh before, so shouldn't be overlooked. Two wins over further last winter; this looks an inadequate test after a layoff. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Despite being a beaten favourite the last twice, SOLAR SYSTEM showed more than enough on his comeback at Chepstow to suggest he can return to winning ways sooner rather than later. The use of Callum Pritchard further enhances his credentials and he gets a confident vote ahead of Baskerville, who has gone close on both handicap appearances. Cloud Dancer has to enter calculations too.
JILAIJONE's losing run is mounting up but there was no shame in being readily brushed aside by the thriving Double Power at Fontwell on his most recent outing, especially with that one extending his winning sequence in a competitive Cheltenham handicap last week, so David Pipe's 5-y-o is well worth another chance from an easing mark. Solar System and Baskerville head up the opposition in an interesting affair.
Solar System is greatly respected but BASKERVILLE ran well at Hereford last month and can overcome a 5lb rise.

(4)  (4/5 +47%)Ma Shantou |
4/5(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ma Shantou 4/5, Fine start when third of 10 in a Fairyhouse bumper and, having moved to current yard for £120,000, opened his account impressively at Huntingdon next time. Looked as if in need of experience when second in a Wincanton novice on hurdles bow last month and is highly respected with that under his belt. Steps up in trip after a creditable second on hurdle debut; one to take seriously. |
|||
(1)  (7/4 +7%)Barlovento |
7/4(+7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Barlovento 7/4, Confirmed debut promise when cosily winning a Southwell bumper in March and made no mistake on his first outing over hurdles when landing a 14-runner novice at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) last month, finishing well after conceding first run. Sets a good standard under a penalty. Bumper winner; got up late to make winning hurdle debut at Carlisle last month; unexposed. |
|||
(6)  (6/1 +14%)Rubber Ball |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Rubber Ball 6/1, Irish point winner ran to a fair level when fifth of 14 in bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, good, 22/1) 25 days ago. Should make a hurdler now stepped up in trip. Point winner; outpaced in a Cheltenham bumper last month but shaped well; respected. |
|||
(2)  (33/1 -65%)Amarillobymorning |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Amarillobymorning 33/1, Runner up in an Irish point in April 2022 but not seen again until beaten a long way in 2 hurdles in the spring. Difficult to fancy after another 6 months off. Well held in two hurdle runs in the spring; best watched back from 174 days off. |
|||
(3)  (125/1 -25%)Jumble Jury |
125/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jumble Jury 125/1, Has won a point and hinted at ability on his first bumper outing but very little promise otherwise, pulled up at Uttoxter on Saturday. Can't be fancied. No show in two hurdle runs in recent weeks; handicaps beckon. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MA SHANTOU was well fancied for the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree where something was clearly amiss as the five-year-old ended up finishing last. He was no match for an impressive winner at Wincanton on his hurdling bow, but the third and fourth have come out and won since, giving the form a boost, and the step up in trip appears likely to yield improvement. Barlovento won on hurdles debut at Carlisle but has to shoulder a penalty and will need to be sharper in the jumping department, while point-to-point winner Rubber Ball is respected on his hurdling bow.
BARLOVENTO added to his bumper success when getting up in the nick of time to make a winning hurdles debut at Carlisle and he's fancied to defy a penalty at the chief expense of useful bumper performer Ma Shantou, who could improve markedly with hurdling experience now under his belt. Rubber Ball made a promising enough start in a Cheltenham bumper last month and should have a future over jumps.
Ma Shantou and Barlovento are of interest but winning pointer RUBBER BALL can leave last month's bumper debut behind him.

(3)  (7/4 +42%)Booster Bob |
7/4(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Booster Bob 7/4, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in 2m novice at Sandown in December. Resumed progress when making a winning comeback/chase bow at Ffos Las last month, beating 2 subsequent winners. More to come and leading contender. Listed winner over hurdles and it was a strong chase that he won at Ffos Las last month. |
|||
(2)  (9/4 +10%)Helnwein |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Helnwein 9/4, Useful bumper winner who made a successful switch to hurdling at Warwick in November. Better form in defeat since, including when taking a big step forward to make a winning handicap bow at Sandown in April. Interesting chasing newcomer. Latest hurdle win reads particularly well and he looks a nice prospect for chasing. |
|||
(6)  (9/2 +36%)Telepathique |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Telepathique 9/2, Confirmed debut promise when landing bumper here and much better for hurdles bow when scoring at Southwell a year ago. Looked a natural when making a winning start in this sphere after 11 months off at Fakenham 3 weeks ago. She seems sure to progress as a chaser. Whacked up 13lb for her Fakenham win and she's down in trip in a stronger race. |
|||
(4)  (9/1 -125%)Moveit Like Minnie |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Moveit Like Minnie 9/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler around 2m and fine start over fences back from 6 months off when scoring at Stratford (17f) in September. Looked set to resume winning ways before running out at the last Aintree last month and headgear now applied. Stratford winner; held every chance when departing late on in his last two races. |
|||
(8)  (11/1 +0%)Commanding View |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Commanding View 11/1, Twice a winner over hurdles last season, including handicap at Bangor final start. However, no easy task on return/chase bow from 2 lb out of the handicap. Progressive hurdler by no means exposed just yet and chasers are in the family. |
|||
(5)  (12/1 +14%)Kamaxos |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kamaxos 12/1, Made light of a long absence to comfortably see off 6 rivals in 2m Sandown handicap hurdle in February. Decent efforts in defeat next 2 starts but not an obvious chasing type given his Flat background. Could take to fences despite his Flat background but does look high in the weights. |
|||
(7)  (80/1 -142%)Sometimes Always |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sometimes Always 80/1, Fairly useful hurdler but has been off the track for over 3 years and makes chase bow in a warm event. Talented 9yo but will do well to make a successful chase debut after a mammoth absence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HELNWEIN landed a valuable prize at Sandown on the final day of last season when getting the better of subsequent Greatwood runner-up Be Aware and the six-year-old may well have more to offer tackling the larger obstacles. Booster Bob made a winning start over fences at Ffos Las and has already beaten the selection over hurdles in a Listed contest at Sandown. The application of cheekpieces might help Moveit Like Minnie and it is easy to see why Telepathique will have her supporters.
TELEPATHIQUE took to chasing really well when scoring with plenty in hand at Fakenham 3 weeks so tops the shortlist despite a 13 lb rise. Booster Bob also arrives on the back of an impressive chase debut success, while Moveit Like Minnie is another who is clearly capable.
Booster Bob has an obvious chance but MOVEIT LIKE MINNIE will go well if completing the course in first-time cheekpieces.

(6)  (11/4 +83%)Decorated |
11/4(+83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Decorated 11/4, Won twice over hurdles last season and, following a breathing operation, hinted at a revival in first-time cheekpieces when fourth at Exeter (23.1f, heavy) in February. Went the wrong way next 2 starts, though, and off 7 months ahead of chase debut. Won two hurdles at about 2m4f two seasons ago; mostly low key last winter; chase debut. |
|||
(1)  (11/4 -38%)The Flier Begley |
11/4(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Flier Begley 11/4, Fairly useful chase winner for Stuart Crawford in Ireland and returned to his best for current yard last month, scoring at this C&D before following up at Carlisle (20f, good to soft). Can make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Recaptured form for new yard with 2m4f wins here and at Carlisle; back up 5lb; solid. |
|||
(3)  (7/2 +13%)Ballycamus |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ballycamus 7/2, Made a successful debut over fences at Chepstow last December and added to his tally at this C&D the following month. Runner-up all 3 remaining starts last season, so no surprise to see him bounce back after below-par effort at Stratford on return. 2-6 over fences last winter, including C&D; well below best on return; better likely. |
|||
(7)  (9/2 +31%)Heard That |
9/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Heard That 9/2, Placed on second of 2 starts in points and fair form over hurdles last season, runner-up on 2 of his last 3 outings. However, after 7 months off (had breathing operation) he lost his action when pulled up at Ffos Las on chase debut 10 days ago. In good form without winning over hurdles in early 2024; pulled up on chase debut in May. |
|||
(4)  (9/1 -125%)Pearly Island |
9/1(-125%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pearly Island 9/1, Dual hurdles scorer who opened chase account at Huntingdon (19.8f) in March. Below best next time but quickly returned to form when runner-up back at that venue on final start in April. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 6 months off. First chase win (2m4f) in March; needs to return in peak form but no great record fresh. |
|||
(2)  (12/1 -20%)Opening Bid |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Opening Bid 12/1, Won 5 times in 2023/24 and, making second start in cheekpieces, returned to winning ways at Exeter (19.2f, good) in October. However, failed to repeat that effort when well held at Chepstow 22 days ago. Bounce back called for. Ran up to best when winning at Exeter (2m3f); not so good latest; suited by good/quicker. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Pearly Island only found one too good over this trip at Huntingdon when last seen in April and he returns off the same mark today, but the vote goes to THE FLIER BEGLEY. Gary Hanmer's charge has really found his stride of late, winning over C&D before following up at Carlisle, and a further 5lb hike might not prevent him completing a hat-trick. Ballycamus disappointed on his reappearance last month, but he cannot be ruled out for an in-form yard.
With Jack Hogan in the saddle, THE FLIER BEGLEY has proved strong at the finish when winning his last 2 starts, successful over C&D on the first occasion, and he can go on to land the hat-trick in his current form. Ballycamus could be the main danger.
Ballycamus is not passed over lightly but THE FLIER BEGLEY may still have a bit further to go before he's weighted out of things.

5/4(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Copernic Du Mazet 5/4, Brought along steadily and looked set to make a winning chasing debut when falling 2 out (in front going well) in 2m1f Bangor handicap chase 22 days ago. Up 5 lb but still weighted to gain compensation. Looked about to win on chase debut at Bangor but fell 2 out; good chance if none the worse. |
|||
(2)  (7/2 +22%)Paddy In The Caddy |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Paddy In The Caddy 7/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Underwent breathing surgery ahead of his chasing debut but raced too freely when a well-held seventh at Uttoxeter (2m4f) 19 days ago. Needs to settle better. Impressed when winning handicap hurdle debut at 2m4f; low-key chase debut; rain no help. |
|||
(7)  (6/1 -9%)Pillar Rock |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pillar Rock 6/1, Modest maiden hurdler but this half-brother to 3 winners represents a top yard and remains with potential now going over fences. Had few chances; shown promise in two handicap hurdles; might well improve for fences. |
|||
(3)  (10/1 +0%)Abaya Du Mathan |
10/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Abaya Du Mathan 10/1, C&D winner who got back on track when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Southwell (15.8f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. C&D winner in April; some fair form since and now back on that winning mark. |
|||
(1)  (10/1 -100%)Ostrava Du Berlais |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ostrava Du Berlais 10/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Patrice Quinton in France. Failed to match that form for his current yard last term but resumes after a wind op here so possibilities. Placed over fences in France; hurdle promise in Britain; sharp test can suit back chasing. |
|||
(8)  (11/1 +56%)Miss Marette |
11/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Miss Marette 11/1, Winner over hurdles over a year ago but has struggled for the most part since, cheekpieces tried when sixth in 2m1f Exeter handicap chase 29 days ago. More is required. Down weights and kept on quite well back over fences latest (2m1f); more needed to win. |
|||
(4)  (25/1 -56%)Johnny Mac |
25/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Johnny Mac 25/1, Completed a hat-trick for his current yard at Leicester in January but yet to fire in a couple of 2m handicaps at Ffos Las and Bangor this autumn. Needs to take a big step forward. Three straight 2m wins last midwinter; tailed off on return from break, then pulled up. |
|||
(6)  (28/1 +44%)Boom Boom |
28/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Boom Boom 28/1, Got off the mark in 2m maiden hurdle at Wincanton in April 2023 for Nicky Henderson but it's largely been a case of heavy defeats since switched to the larger obstacles. Hurdle winner; pulled up on soft ground latest so current weather is a worry. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Copernic Du Mazet looked the most likely winner before coming to grief two from home at Bangor last month and, if none the worse for that tumble, he should mount a stern challenge. That said, there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful about the chances of PADDY IN THE CADDY. He travelled strongly into contention on his seasonal return/chasing debut recently, before weakening approaching two out. A drop in distance ought to suit on that evidence and, on his second start following wind surgery, he may step forward. Abaya Du Mathan heads the remainder.
COPERNIC DU MAZET took a big step forward on his fencing bow at Bangor and looked the probable winner when coming down 2 out so is fancied to make amends here. Dan Skelton's chasing newcomer Pillar Rock could emerge as the chief threat with C&D winner Abaya Du Mathan also well in the mix. The returning Ostrava Du Berlais could have a say too if breathing surgery has a reviving effect.
The chance is taken that COPERNIC DU MAZET can shrug off a late fall at Bangor as he'd jumped really well on his chase debut up to then.

(1)  (5/4 +72%)Ikarak |
5/4(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ikarak 5/4, French import who opened his account on these shores in a Worcester novice in October 2023. Followed up from the front at Newcastle (2¾m, soft) next time but then found life tougher back in handicap company last winter. Since moved to an in-form yard and the market will be revealing. Headgear off. Won novice hurdles at 2m7f/2m6f; well held in handicaps after; down in grade; new yard. |
|||
(6)  (11/2 -10%)Butler's Brief |
11/2(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Butler's Brief 11/2, Course winner who responded well to pressure when landing 10-runner handicap at Bangor 3 weeks ago. Retains handicap scope up 4 lb so has to be of major interest. Put his woes behind him of late; still 7lb lower than Kelso win last November. |
|||
(7)  (13/2 -86%)Drop Flight |
13/2(-86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Drop Flight 13/2, Landed 5-runner hunter at Exeter in March prior to falling early in the Foxhunters' Chase at Aintree the following month. Easily best effort for this yard when a keeping-on third over 20f at Carlisle a month ago and he now looks ready to strike back up in distance. Hunter chase winner in March; shaped nicely on 3rd run for yard; can exploit low mark soon. |
|||
(5)  (7/1 +0%)Chris Cool |
7/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chris Cool 7/1, Generally solid record over hurdles and got back on the up when seeing off an unexposed rival (pair clear) at Huntingdon (25f) in April. Good third at Ludlow final start and yard on better form than when he made his reappearance at Aintree. Jumping remains a concern but he's on a good mark. Both handicap wins over 3m1f at Huntingdon; dropped right out on return from break. |
|||
(4)  (8/1 +27%)Ernest Gray |
8/1(+27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ernest Gray 8/1, Won 3m handicap chase at Southwell in January but ran another moody race back there in May and again looked hard work returned to hurdling at Exeter a month ago. Opposable with headgear still off. Chase winner in January; can improve for recent return to hurdles; has share of weight. |
|||
(9)  (9/1 +64%)Sporty Jim |
9/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sporty Jim 9/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who has yet to really fire for his current yard, albeit he's dropped a long way in the weights and showed a touch more here in September. Very mixed in handicap hurdles and chases since back from absence; this is competitive. |
|||
(3)  (11/1 -83%)Tigerbythetail |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Tigerbythetail 11/1, Prolific pointer who showed fairly useful form on the first of his two outings in hunters earlier this year. Has held his form between the flags but never really looked like justifying support back over timber last month (22f). Step up in trip may help switched to a handicap with cheekpieces on. Promising in novice hurdles before multiple point wins; interesting on handicap debut. |
|||
(8)  (18/1 -80%)Gold Clermont |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Gold Clermont 18/1, Enhanced good strike rate over fences for current yard with a career-best win at Fontwell (28f) and backed that up with good fourth in the Eider at Newcastle (33.2f, soft) in February. Fared as well as could be expected in the Midlands Grand National and she's much lower in the weights over timber. Staying chaser; much lower hurdle mark but vulnerable off even lower ones in the past. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
IKARAK struggled in a warm heat at Cheltenham in January before failing to fire in an equally as competitive event at Newbury the following month, but he might be the answer. Now in the care of Olly Murphy, the six-year-old will undoubtedly appreciate an ease in grade and he has gone well when fresh before. Butler's Brief, up 4lb having won at Bangor last month, is an obvious candidate, while Drop Flight kept on well over 2m4f at Carlisle latest and may fare better now upped in trip.
It's taken Dan Skelton a little time to find the key to DROP FLIGHT but his Carlisle effort at the start of the month was a lot more like it and back up in trip, he now looks ready to cash in on a good mark. Chris Cool has his jumping issues but is very dangerous if keeping the mistakes down, with Butler's Brief likely to be on the premises, too.
Ikarak makes some appeal for his new yard but DROP FLIGHT (nap) looked ready for a bigger effort at Carlisle recently.
Ths is the racecard key.
