1st (8)  (10/3 +45%)Yorkshire Lady |
10/3(+45%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Yorkshire Lady 10/3, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat, stays 10.5f. She's beaten just a solitary rival in a couple of starts on the all-weather this winter but is certainly worth a second look sent hurdling. Five-time Flat winner who is entitled to respect on today's hurdle debut. |
|||
2nd (7)  (6/4 +25%)Strong Belle |
6/4(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Strong Belle 6/4, Didn't kick on in bumpers but she did show some promise when runner-up on hurdles debut at Huntingdon in October. Disappointed next time but was in the process of showing improved form when departing late on at Catterick (15.7f, heavy) just over 5 weeks ago. Can make amends. Disputing clear lead when falling at final flight at Catterick latest; leading claims. |
|||
3rd (6)  (2/1 -23%)St John's Road |
2/1(-23%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) St John's Road 2/1, Finished runner-up in a bumper and having been friendless in the betting, shaped with promise switched straight to hurdling when filling that same position at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 6 weeks ago. Open to improvement. Runner-up on both starts and she's a major player in this line-up. |
|||
4th (5)  (18/1 +45%)Snowrocco |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Snowrocco 18/1, €14,000 3-y-o, Shirocco mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Lady KK, stays 3m, and fairly useful hurdler Rock On Cassie. Dam unraced. Third completed start in Irish points (Dec 3). Third in Irish mares' maiden point; may come into her own when tackling a longer trip. |
|||
5th (4)  (80/1 -21%)Reine Des Tartes |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Reine Des Tartes 80/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in points but made a discouraging start to Rules career when finishing tailed off in a novice hurdle over C&D (heavy) 9 days ago. British maiden point winner but tailed off over C&D on recent rules debut. |
|||
|F| (1)  (8/1 +43%)Lady Alex |
8/1(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Lady Alex 8/1, Promising start over hurdles in 2m Uttoxeter maiden in October 2022 but off 14 months after and well beaten on return at this course (19.7f, heavy) on Boxing Day. Has had a breathing operation since. Tailed off on Boxing Day after absence; wind op since; promise previously; not written off. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (250/1 -279%)Mivvi |
250/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mivvi 250/1, Sixties Icon filly who was readily left behind when the pace lifted in a bumper at Bangor (16.7f, heavy) just over 7 weeks ago. Best watched on hurdles bow. 50-1, well-beaten last of five on debut in Bangor bumper (2m, heavy) in December. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ST JOHN'S ROAD was comprehensively beaten by The Kalooki Kid at Newcastle prior to Christmas, but that winner has since been far from disgraced in the Grade 2 Rossington Main. Lucinda Russell's mare ought to have learned plenty from that initial jumping experience and she can step forward today. Yorkshire Lady performed to a fair level on the Flat and is worth a second look now switched to hurdles, while it would be no surprise if Strong Belle could atone for a Catterick tumble.
STRONG BELLE looked a big danger when departing late on at Catterick just over 5 weeks ago and is fancied to make amends at the expense of St John's Road, who is open to improvement having found just one too strong on her recent hurdles bow at Newcastle. Hurdling-debutantes Largy Force and Yorkshire Lady can fight out third.
Having been challenging for the lead when falling at the final flight at Catterick, STRONG BELLE earns the vote.

1st (6)  (7/1 +22%)Eaton Collina |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Eaton Collina 7/1, Dual 2m4f scorer last spring who failed to last home upped to 3m when fifth of 10 in handicap chase here 21 days ago. Very much one to consider eased 1 lb/reverted in trip. 3m probably stretched his stamina here last time; real possibilities now back down in trip. |
|||
2nd (7)  (11/2 +31%)William Cody |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) William Cody 11/2, Won twice over 2½m at Huntingdon in his first season chasing last term and in good nick this time around until only fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and sort to bounce back. Only fourth of six at Market Rasen in January; now wears first-time cheekpieces. |
|||
3rd (8)  (12/1 +0%)William Of York |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) William Of York 12/1, Improved over hurdles for Dan Skelton last spring, completing a hat-trick at Warwick. Shaped encouragingly on yard/chase debut when second at Doncaster but errors cost him when only fifth of seven at Newcastle since. Not written off. Fairly encouraging stable/chase debut but made mistakes next time; bit to prove. |
|||
4th (4)  (9/1 +10%)Kepagge |
9/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Kepagge 9/1, Ended last season in winning form over hurdles and promise to be gleaned from both runs over fences this term when third in 2m4f handicaps at Ffos Las and Leicester. One to consider off an easing mark. Hasn't matched hurdles form in two chases but not one to write off just yet. |
|||
|F| (9)  (7/2 -27%)Hunter Legend |
7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hunter Legend 7/2, Maiden hurdler but this half-brother to the yard's very smart chaser Cepage has shaped promisingly when a clear runner-up on both his chasing starts in 2m handicaps at Ludlow and Leicester. Has more to offer back up in trip. Player. Knocking at the door, close second in 2m handicaps both chase starts; might be the answer. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (10/3 -21%)Harjo |
10/3(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Harjo 10/3, Irish point winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 5-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, heavy) 46 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so he has to be taken seriously despite a 7 lb rise. Has taken well to fences; clearcut winner at Wincanton; could overcome a 7lb rise. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (13/2 +54%)Albert's Back |
13/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Albert's Back 13/2, Enhanced his good record here when successful in 2m hurdle last March. Was having his first start over fences for almost 4 years and didn't really convince when fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Haydock (19.9f, heavy) 35 days ago. Others appeal more. Mudlark who has won five times over hurdles, four of them here, but 0-5 over fences. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (16/1 -220%)Soldier Of Destiny |
16/1(-220%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Soldier Of Destiny 16/1, Useful chaser who resumed from 9 months off with a below-par fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Yard continues in fine form so he must enter calculations after a wind op back in this sphere. Mixed results of late, disappointing over hurdles last time; carries risks. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (18/1 -50%)Not What It Seems |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Not What It Seems 18/1, Completed hat-trick of novice hurdle successes here in 2022. Lightly raced subsequently and failed to build on his reappearance when only third of 4 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, heavy) 33 days ago. Needs to bounce back. 3m1f might have stretched him last time; claims on C&D chase debut in December 2022. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Harjo made it second-time lucky over the larger obstacles when romping home at Wincanton in December, and he merits respect with the prospect of more to come. However, a chance can be taken on SOLDIER OF DESTINY. Jamie Snowden's gelding is well treated judged on past exploits, and recent wind surgery could give him an added boost. Others to note include Kepagge and Not What It Seems.
HUNTER LEGEND signalled he's ready to get off the mark when a clear Leicester second last time out and with this longer trip a likely plus too he can edge out Charlie Longsdon's progressive Worcester scorer Harjo. Eaton Collina is another who needs factoring in along with Soldier of Destiny and William Cody.
Harjo was faultless at Wincanton and is feared but HUNTER LEGEND is also moving in the right direction and gets weight all round.

1st (3)  (5/1 -43%)Leading Choice |
5/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Leading Choice 5/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who showed plenty when placed both starts over hurdles in late 2022. Not seen since but remains the type to do better. Returns from absence; placed on both hurdle runs and leading claims if retaining ability. |
|||
2nd (7)  (6/5 +66%)To Chase A Dream |
6/5(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) To Chase A Dream 6/5, Point bumper winner who has filled the runner-up spot on all 3 outings over hurdles, jumping none too fluently at Kelso (22.7f) on latest occasion. Just about sets the standard. Runner-up on all three hurdle starts; should get off the mark sooner rather than later. |
|||
3rd (4)  (66/1 -100%)Rock Steady Eddie |
66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rock Steady Eddie 66/1, Placed in a couple of points but looks one for the longer term on early evidence under Rules. Third in points/bumper but well beaten on last month's hurdle debut at Newcastle. |
|||
4th (2)  (150/1 -50%)Kinder Kid |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kinder Kid 150/1, Third in a point but hasn't offered much in a pair of novice hurdles. Fair third in a point but well beaten this winter on his two hurdle starts. |
|||
5th (8)  (15/2 -299%)Walk On Quest |
15/2(-299%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Walk On Quest 15/2, £100,000 buy after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in March and, with a tongue strap fitted (also had breathing op), shaped encouragingly when filling same spot in a Kelso maiden (16.2f, heavy) 36 days ago. Sure to progress with the longer trip likely to suit. Runner-up in a point and a maiden hurdle; could benefit from this step up in trip. |
|||
6th (6)  (9/4 +10%)Tarras Wood |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tarras Wood 9/4, Overcame inexperience when making a winning debut in a C&D bumper in December 2022. Suffered an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on Warwick hurdle debut 11 months later and shaped better when runner-up at Wincanton (19.8f) last time. Must enter calculations. Course bumper winner who was runner-up over hurdles last time; open to further improvement. |
|||
7th (1)  (25/1 -150%)Jo Arengeot Bey Aa |
25/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jo Arengeot Bey Aa 25/1, Fetched £50,000 after winning his sole start between the flags. Offered something to work sole outing in bumpers and did the same sent hurdling when third in a 6-runner novice at Haydock (15.6f, heavy) 35 days ago. Longer trip will suit, and he's entitled to do better. 3m point winner; fair third on both rules runs but others have stronger claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Walk On Quest was well supported ahead of his hurdling bow at Kelso and should go well if building on that second placing, but TARRAS WOOD shades preference. A bumper winner at this venue, Paul Nicholls' charge put a Warwick blip behind him when runner-up at Wincanton and it would come as no surprise were he to step forward again. To Chase A Dream heads the remainder.
WALK ON QUEST was caught out by inexperience to a degree when runner-up on his Rules debut at Kelso in December and, with improvement anticipated over this longer trip, he's selected to go one better. Leading Choice hasn't been seen for 14 months but he showed plenty on both his starts in this sphere in late 2022 and remains likely to do better, while To Chase A Dream and Tarras Wood are others to consider.
Having shown good form when runner-up on his three hurdle starts, TO CHASE A DREAM is taken to get off the mark under rules.

1st (10)  (9/1 +0%)War Soldier |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) War Soldier 9/1, Dual winner last term but failed to meet expectations when fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f) on return 51 days ago and this longer trip is not guaranteed to suit. May have needed reappearance run; on a competitive mark and he's not ruled out. |
|||
2nd (7)  (6/1 +8%)Bashers Reflection |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bashers Reflection 6/1, Improved performer switched to handicaps, taking his form up another notch with his reappearance behind him to score over C&D in November. Stamina seemingly stretched by 2½m on very testing ground at Aintree over Christmas and not out of things. Disappointing at Aintree last time out but impressed over this C&D previously. |
|||
3rd (2)  (5/2 -25%)The Four Sixes |
5/2(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) The Four Sixes 5/2, Found improvement, on debut for new yard, when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at this course (21.2f, heavy) 39 days ago, going with enthusiasm. 6 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. Ready win here on stable debut and runner-up won next time; 6lb rise could prove lenient. |
|||
4th (1)  (14/1 +0%)Jatiluwih |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Jatiluwih 14/1, Lightly-raced since scoring in 21f handicap at Cheltenham back in November 2021. Generally performed with credit last season but yet to fire in a couple of outings this term. Well handicapped on form as recent as last April but well beaten on both runs this season. |
|||
5th (6)  (9/1 -100%)Foster'sisland |
9/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Foster'sisland 9/1, Won at Bangor (19.6f) on final start last term and returned to form when second of 9 in handicap hurdle over C&D (heavy) 21 days ago. Enters calculations. Likes it here and he returned to form with a good second over C&D (soft) three weeks ago. |
|||
6th (12)  (80/1 -300%)The King Of May |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) The King Of May 80/1, Not scored for some time and arrives on back of laboured effort at Catterick last month. 10yo who isn't the force of old but is down to a dangerous mark and not ruled out. |
|||
7th (9)  (80/1 -142%)Ilikedwayurthinkin |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ilikedwayurthinkin 80/1, Winning hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell but struggled for form for new connections. Continues to drop down the weights but for good reason. |
|||
|F| (11)  (7/1 +22%)Start In Front |
7/1(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Start In Front 7/1, Confirmed promise of his reappearance when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f) in December. Not in same form at Haydock since but respected nonetheless. Won at Market Rasen in December and perhaps heavy ground was too much at Haydock latest. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (2/1 +56%)Magic Wave |
2/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Magic Wave 2/1, Made light of a 12-month absence when landing odds in 6-runner novice hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) in November. Unable to follow up at Ayr next time but remains low mileage and merits consideration on handicap debut. Very lightly raced 8yo who retains potential and is not discounted on his handicap debut. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (20/1 -43%)Brinkley |
20/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Brinkley 20/1, Took a step back in right direction when second on return at Uttoxeter in November but below that form at Sandown since and overall profile is off-putting. Tongue strap back on. Reappeared with good second at Uttoxeter but patchy nowadays and soundly beaten since. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (200/1 -506%)The Wounded Knee |
200/1(-506%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Wounded Knee 200/1, Placed both starts in points and dual winner over hurdles. Seemed amiss on final outing for Patrick Neville, however, and ran poorly on debut for new connections at Market Rasen in June. Looked very promising in autumn 2022 but ran just three times last year and struggled. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
THE FOUR SIXES readily accounted for a subsequent winner on his debut for Olly Murphy over 2m5f at this venue on Boxing Day. A 6lb rise for that success may vastly underestimate the six-year-old and he is hard to oppose as a result. The consistent Magic Wave is an obvious threat, despite being a beaten odds-on favourite at Ayr last time, while Bashers Reflection and Brinkley are others who make the shortlist.
THE FOUR SIXES made a good start for Olly Murphy here in December and remains feasibly treated. He can score again. Magic Wave and Foster'sisland can also make their presence felt.
Having won in fine style here on Boxing Day, THE FOUR SIXES (nap) can defy a 6lb rise and make it 2-2 for Olly Murphy.

1st (1)  (15/8 -15%)Carrigeen Castle |
15/8(-15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Carrigeen Castle 15/8, Maiden over hurdles but, having won an Irish point before joining Micky Hammond, showed much improved form on his second chase start when landing Newcastle handicap (20.1f) in January. Can follow up with more still to offer over fences. Won at Newcastle last month on second chase start and could have more to offer over fences. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/2 +0%)Robins Field |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Robins Field 7/2, Remains a maiden but, having had another wind op, returned to form when runner-up in handicap at Sedgefield (19.3f) 22 days ago, proving his effectiveness at the trip. Could be thereabouts once more. Remains a maiden but runner-up at Sedgefield last time and could be thereabouts once more. |
|||
3rd (3)  (8/1 +11%)Great Raffles |
8/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Great Raffles 8/1, Recorded back-to-back wins over hurdles (including at this course) to end 2021/22 and made the frame in all 4 outings last term. However, has finished well held both starts sent chasing this season, so others are more persuasive. Well treated on last season's hurdle form but hasn't shone on his two chase starts. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/2 -27%)King Of The Hill |
7/2(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) King Of The Hill 7/2, Didn't offer much in novice hurdles and his first 2 starts in handicap chases, but fitted with a tongue strap he left his previous form behind when runner-up at Catterick (19.2f) in December. Can make his presence felt. Clear second at Catterick in December and is firmly in calculations. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (11/1 -69%)Attention All |
11/1(-69%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Attention All 11/1, Winner on his hurdles debut last season but hasn't gone on from that since, making little impact in handicap at Carlisle (2m) on his chase bow in December. Pulled up last time, though it remains early days over fences with cheekpieces on first time. Pulled up at Newcastle last time but lightly raced and not written off now in cheekpieces. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (17/2 +58%)Voice Of Hope |
17/2(+58%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Voice Of Hope 17/2, Nineteen NH runs since his sole success, which came over hurdles back in 2021. Made the frame in handicap chases at Catterick and Huntingdon this winter, but lesser effort at the latter course 9 days ago. Looks to be up against it. 0-13 over fences and hasn't been competitive this season; 4lb out of the handicap today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CARRIGEEN CASTLE was successful over 2m4f at Newcastle four weeks ago and Micky Hammond's gelding could be hard to stop once again, despite a 5lb rise in the ratings. King Of The Hill was only narrowly denied on his most recent outing at Catterick and that form gives him a big chance. Robins Field took a step forward following a wind operation to occupy the runner-up berth at Sedgefield and is next best.
Successful in an Irish point early last year, CARRIGEEN CASTLE made his second chase start a winning one at Newcastle last month and he can score again with further progress to come. Robins Field bounced back to form on his latest outing and could be the biggest threat, ahead of King of The Hill.
Point winner CARRIGEEN CASTLE won at Newcastle last month on his second chase start and this unexposed 8yo can follow up.

1st (6)  (6/1 +57%)Sine Nomine |
6/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sine Nomine 6/1, Has a likeable profile both in points and under Rules, already a dual winner in hunters. Solid effort between the flags in December and merits respect for all that this demands improvement. Hunter chase wins at Stratford last April/June but something to find with main contenders. |
|||
2nd (1)  (13/2 -63%)Bennys King |
13/2(-63%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bennys King 13/2, Reinvigorated by a switch to hunters and fitting of cheekpieces last season, winning at Fakenham and posting a fine second in the Aintree Foxhunter (all under this rider). Got back on track in refitted cheekpieces when third in Taunton hunter last time. Player. Second in the Foxhunters' at Aintree last April and he's a leading contender today. |
|||
3rd (4)  (6/1 -140%)Windsor Avenue |
6/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Windsor Avenue 6/1, 8/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Doncaster (26f, good). Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Brian Ellison. None too reliable, but sets a good standard. Good handicap chase form on final two runs for Brian Ellison; could be a major player. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (5/1 -25%)Dolphin Square |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dolphin Square 5/1, Boasts a good strike rate over fences/hurdles and, while he arrives on the back of a laboured effort over hurdles at Chepstow, he's capable of making an impact on his best form. Mixed form over h'dles last year but showed spark 2 runs ago; has good hunter chase record. |

|PU| (5)  (11/10 +56%)Fairly Famous |
11/10(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fairly Famous 11/10, Took off in points for this yard and made a highly impressive hunter debut when cruising to success at Cheltenham last month. Every chance he'll follow up. Easy win at Cheltenham last May on sole hunter chase start; firmly in calculations. |

|PU| (3)  (33/1 -136%)Super Citizen |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Super Citizen 33/1, First run since leaving Eugene M. O'Sullivan when winning 4-runner hunter chase (4/6) at Kelso (23.4f, heavy) 20 days ago, straightforward task. This is significantly tougher. Won on stable debut at Kelso in January but this race is much tougher; vulnerable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FAIRLY FAMOUS is one from one over regulation fences and is a highly appealing option. A good second in a point-to-point in December, the seven-year-old is entitled to be sharper for the run and has plenty of scope for improvement. Former smart chaser Windsor Avenue is feared most on his debut in the hunter chase scene/first run for 336 days, while Super Citizen beat just three rivals at Kelso yet still commands attention.
FAIRLY FAMOUS has thrived for his current stable and he's likely to go in again having produced an emphatic display to score at Cheltenham last month. Windsor Avenue has the ability to trouble the selection and Bennys King is unlikely to be far away.
Preference is for young challenger FAIRLY FAMOUS, who was a convincing winner at Cheltenham last May on his sole hunter chase start.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Assuming he runs with less fizz than when last seen, MR BRAMLEY could go one place better than the good second he registered in this contest 12 months ago. There is plenty of guesswork involved with the majority of the opposition being newcomers, but Miami Steve appeals on pedigree and commands respect on debut for a top yard. Brother Boris and Para Handy are a couple of others to monitor in the betting.
MR BRAMLEY has been off the track since finishing second in this corresponding race 12 months ago and can go one better if ready to go. Expensive point-winner Piper Park looks an interesting newcomer, while the well-bred Kalahari King offered something to work on at Exeter.
The mare PIPER PARK changed hands for £205,000 after winning a point on debut and is taken to make a winning start under rules.

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.
