1st (1)  (4/5 +47%)Roadlesstravelled |
4/5(+47%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Roadlesstravelled 4/5, Cost a pretty penny on the back of his rout in an Irish point in May 2023 and, a standout in terms of physical scope, belied his long absence as well as market weakness to follow up on his Market Rasen hurdling debut (16.6f) 18 days ago. Sure to progress and win more races. Point winner who readily made all on recent rules debut; he's the one to beat today. |
|||
2nd (5)  (3/1 +14%)Marlacoo |
3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Marlacoo 3/1, Cheap purchase but got off to a winning start in clear-cut fashion in a Down Royal bumper in May. Changed hands for £85,000 soon after and made a promising start to hurdling career when third in 2m novice at Warwick last month. Hood on for 1st time and seems likely to improve. Bumper winner who also showed promise when third on hurdle debut; possible contender. |
|||
3rd (2)  (10/1 -100%)Samwise |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Samwise 10/1, In the frame twice in bumpers and belied a 20-month absence to make a successful hurdling debut in 9-runner novice (16.2f) at Kelso 27 days ago, edging ahead line. More needed in a deeper race under a penalty. Defied long layoff to win on hurdle debut; further improvement is needed but not ruled out. |
|||
4th (6)  (6/1 -9%)The Grafter |
6/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Grafter 6/1, Showed some promise in a pair of bumpers for Sam Allwood and shaped even better sent hurdling in a first-time tongue strap after 8 months off when third of 12 at Uttoxeter (15.8f) 27 days ago, a late error costing him second. Should improve. Fair third on hurdle/stable debut but has to take another step forward today. |
|||
5th (3)  (9/1 -20%)Grandad's Cap |
9/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grandad's Cap 9/1, Mahler gelding. Dam, maiden pointer, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3¼m) No Hassle Hoff. Every chance and going well when fell 4 out sole start in Irish points in April. Sets out under Rules for a yard struggling at present, however. Displayed promise in sole point (fell four out); market check advised on rules debut. |
|||
6th (4)  (50/1 -213%)Know The Game |
50/1(-213%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Know The Game 50/1, Fair chaser who was runner-up in a Limerick handicap in April. Well held last 2 starts, though, including back over hurdles last time. Has left Tom Dreaper. Just one win from his 21 starts; makes stable debut and others are preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A taking winner on his hurdles bow at Market Rasen last month, ROADLESSTRAVELLED is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming. The O'Neills' five-year-old, who cost 215,000 pounds out of the pointing field, may have too much for Samwise, who showed good determination to spring a surprise at Kelso. Marlacoo is another to consider on the back of a promising stable debut when third at Warwick.
ROADLESSTRAVELLED created a good impression when making a winning hurdling debut at Maket Rasen 18 days ago and, with the timefigure supporting his performance, he's fancied to improve and defy a penalty at the first time of asking. Marlacoo and The Grafter are other likely improvers, and they are considered the main threats.
Point winner ROADLESSTRAVELLED won in good style at Market Rasen last month and can make it 2-2 under rules.

1st (4)  (6/4 +67%)Tedley |
6/4(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tedley 6/4, Hurdles winner who improved right away switched to fences back from a break when making a winning chase bow at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago, coping with the demands of such a strongly-run race encouragingly well. Big shout if this doesn't come too soon. 5yo who won on his recent chase debut at Uttoxeter and a 5lb rise may not stop him. |
|||
2nd (3)  (7/2 -5%)Choosethenews |
7/2(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Choosethenews 7/2, Point/hurdles winner who has made a bright start over fences, showing a likeable attitude when opening his account at Newcastle (20f, heavy) in April. Looked ready for further when second at Hexham following month. Runner-up at Hexham in May when last seen and form has been franked; goes well fresh. |
|||
3rd (7)  (14/1 -27%)Imperial Bede |
14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Imperial Bede 14/1, French bumper/hurdles winner who ran out a ready winner on chase debut at Southwell (20.4f) in February. Yet to build on that, however, and last 2 starts were poor. Struggling when last seen but a break may have helped; not discounted off a dangerous mark. |
|||
4th (5)  (5/1 +33%)William Cody |
5/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) William Cody 5/1, Deservedly resumed winning ways when landing a 4-runner handicap at Leicester (2½m, heavy) in March. Couldn't live with the front runner at Market Rasen the following month but he pulled well clear of the rest that day and is worth considering off an unchanged mark. Reappeared with good second in this last year and often ran well subsequently; contender. |
|||
5th (1)  (12/1 +25%)Arthur's Quay |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Arthur's Quay 12/1, Winner of back-to-back handicaps during second half of last year. Lightly raced and largely below form since, seventh of 8 in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 17 days ago. Won off 5lb higher last November but has struggled to get competitive since. |
|||
6th (2)  (4/1 -14%)King's Threshold |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) King's Threshold 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler who has improved over fences, taking well-contested 21f Ascot handicap in March. Let down by jumping at Kempton following month but that was possibly a one-off. Did well last season when switched to fences, winning over 2m5f at Ascot; respected. |
|||
7th (6)  (22/1 -159%)Fusain |
22/1(-159%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fusain 22/1, Opened chase account in a match at Newcastle and followed up in a 3-runner novice at Catterick. Excuses since but returning from a long absence here. Well treated on his best efforts in 2023 but he's been absent since that September. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Not beaten far when rallying late for second at Hexham in May, CHOOSETHENEWS looks the one to beat on this occasion if brushing up on his jumping. A mark of 123 looks manageable and he is narrowly preferred to Tedley, who made a successful start to his chasing career over 2m at Uttoxeter last month. King's Threshold and William Cody have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
TEDLEY looked a natural when making a winning debut over fences on his comeback at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago and is fancied to follow up if this doesn't come too soon. William Cody is a solid alternative, with King's Threshold best of the others.
Choosethenews could be on a good mark but preference is for the 5yo TEDLEY, who made a winning chase debut at Uttoxeter.

1st (6)  (7/2 +13%)Take No Chances |
7/2(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Take No Chances 7/2, Winner of back-to-back staying handicaps at Warwick and Uttoxeter during the spring. Back from a break with an excellent third of 17 in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow (19.5f) last month. Shorter trip now but could still be the one to give Luccia most to do. The drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus but she's a mare on the up; chance. |
|||
2nd (4)  (12/1 -50%)Royal Eagle |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Royal Eagle 12/1, Useful hurdler who arrives on the back of a near miss in a listed event at Limerick a fortnight ago. Looked well suited by the step up in trip but she does have plenty of 2m form over hurdles, including third in a Galway handicap in July. Short-headed in 2m7f Listed mares' hurdle at Listowel recently; seems versatile trip-wise. |
|||
3rd (2)  (40/1 -60%)Carrigeen Kampala |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Carrigeen Kampala 40/1, Scored at Newton Abbot in June and tongue tied when an improved second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in September. Limitations seemingly exposed in Kempton listed race last time, though. Some good handicap form this season but well beaten in a Listed race at Kempton recently. |
|||
4th (5)  (9/1 -29%)Sweet Fantasy |
9/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sweet Fantasy 9/1, Useful Flat performer who won a pair of 2m mares' novice hurdles earlier in the year. Should go well for a stable which operated at a 38% strike-rate over jumps last month. 2-2 over hurdles; upped markedly in grade but remains to be seen where limitations lie. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (4/9 +39%)Luccia |
4/9(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Luccia 4/9, Won the valuable Betfair Exchange Trophy (Handicap) at Ascot (2m) last Christmas and excellent efforts when reaching the frame in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham and the Aintree hurdle in the spring. Should prove hard to beat. Fine third in the Champion Hurdle in March and holds leading claims on her reappearance. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (300/1 -20%)Rhyme Scheme |
300/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rhyme Scheme 300/1, Regressive on the Flat and poor form over hurdles. Huge outsider. Has been operating off lowly marks in handicaps and is yet to win one; can't be fancied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Runner-up in this contest last year before going on to finish an excellent third in the Champion Hurdle, LUCCIA sets a lofty standard and looks primed to strike on her return. An encouraging third in the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow last month, Take No Chances may be better over further but she must be noted. Sweet Fantasy was an impressive winner when last seen in this sphere at Catterick in March and is worth a crack at this sort of prize.
LUCCIA sets a clear standard on her Grade 1 efforts in the spring and is likely to prove a tough nut to crack. The James Owen-trained Sweet Fantasy might be the one to give her most to do as the drop back to 2m may not be ideal for Royal Eagle and Take No Chances.
Leading form contender Luccia was a beaten favourite in this last year and preference is for SWEET FANTASY, who is 2-2 over hurdles.

1st (3)  (9/4 +86%)Beacon Edge |
9/4(+86%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beacon Edge 9/4, Seen to maximum effect when scoring at Ballinrobe in May but has held his form since, no extra only late on in well-contested 3m Cheltenham handicap last week. Place claims. 10yo who has been pretty consistent this season and might not be far away. |
|||
2nd (6)  (9/1 +0%)Twig |
9/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Twig 9/1, Did really well back chasing last season, winning the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter and second in the Ultima at Cheltenham. Shaped as if still in good form at Aintree when last seen, though he was subsequently reported to be showing signs of post-race ataxia. Good record fresh and returns hurdling. Runner-up over fences at Cheltenham Festival; won on last hurdle start last year; chance. |
|||
3rd (7)  (8/11 +89%)Kateira |
8/11(+89%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Kateira 8/11, Enhanced good record at Aintree when signing off for last season with success in valuable 20f handicap hurdle. Disappointed here on her return 12 months ago but that remains her only defeat first time up and lots going for her on these terms if she stays in a race her yard have previous in. Won competitive 2m4f handicap at Aintree in April; big shout if reproducing her best form. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/1 +55%)Allmankind |
10/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Allmankind 10/1, Smart hurdler and high-class chaser during his time with Dan Skelton. Missed 20 months but fair bit of ability remains judged on his 2 efforts in handicaps this term. Now back up markedly in grade over longest trip he's tackled. Multiple Graded winner; goes into the unknown stamina-wise on third start back from layoff. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
A competitive renewal sees a chance taken on THUNDER ROCK, who returns to this sphere for the first time since April 2022. Olly Murphy's runner has progressed nicely over the larger obstacles and, with the benefit of a break after struggling to land a blow in the Bowl at Aintree, he is fancied to make it five wins out of seven over hurdles. Sandor Clegane has yet to get off the mark over fences and last year's Albert Bartlett third should be seen to better effect back over timber. Dashel Drasher, who finished third 12 months ago, is the highest rated of these, while Kateira comes right into the reckoning too.
KATEIRA has strong claims on these terms if she stays and is taken to give her yard a third win in the last 5 renewals. Irish challengers Sandor Clegane and Beacon Edge are solid dangers.
11yo DASHEL DRASHER is a specialist staying hurdler, unlike several others in this, and he is a tempting option even with a penalty.

1st (7)  (5/1 +50%)The Real Whacker |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Real Whacker 5/1, Winner of the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival. Came up short at the top level last season and unseated his rider at the 10th in Kerry National at Listowel on his return. No forlorn hope. Grade 1 Cheltenham Festival winner in March 2023; 0-6 since but he's not discounted. |
|||
2nd (3)  (11/10 +100%)Bravemansgame |
11/10(+100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bravemansgame 11/10, Took this in 2022 but he went winless and didn't operate at his best last term, tried in cheekpieces on his final run when only sixth of seven in Bowl Chase at Aintree. Returns after a wind op now and has a good record fresh so he looks the one to beat.. Won this & King George in 2022; didn't hit same heights last term but still a major player. |
|||
3rd (6)  (25/1 +38%)Sam Brown |
25/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sam Brown 25/1, Smart veteran chaser who scored twice last season in 3m handicaps at Warwick and Ascot. Signed off with a creditable sixth of 20 in Bet365 at Sandown. Place possibilities, especially if the rains come. 12yo; did very well earlier this year but returns without the visor & needs a career best. |
|||
4th (5)  (10/1 +50%)Hang In There |
10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hang In There 10/1, Very smart chaser who scored at Uttoxeter in June and posted a good second of 6 in handicap chase at Worcester (23f) 66 days ago. This demands a clear personal best, though. 10yo who has thrived in staying handicaps this summer and he's an interesting contender. |
|||
5th (4)  (7/2 +0%)Conflated |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Conflated 7/2, High-class Irish chaser but he unseated his rider at the first in Grade 3 chase at Punchestown (23.2f) 17 days ago. Winless since 2022 but he holds solid form claims. Runner-up in Grade 1 at Aintree in April; very much a contender if bringing his best form. |
|||
6th (1)  (8/1 -14%)French Dynamite |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) French Dynamite 8/1, Smart Irish chaser who ended a lengthy losing run in Grade 3 chase at Punchestown (23.2f) 17 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Minella Indo. This is a very difficult ask, however. Won recent Grade 3 at Punchestown; no easy task on these terms but has race-fitness edge. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Bravemansgame won this contest in 2022 and was second last year, so he shouldn't be too far away with a break off the track and wind surgery possibly in his favour. Therefore, FRENCH DYNAMITE is fancied to give trainer Mouse Morris a second win in this contest in as many years. The Robcour-owned nine-year-old justified market support when fending off a strong field to land the Grade 3 BetVictor Chase at Punchestown last month and, with his race-fitness assured, another bold bid can be expected. Conflated is another Irish raider who commands the utmost respect.
BRAVEMANSGAME took this event in 2022 and although he didn't hit the same heights last term he has a good record fresh and looks the one to beat on the back of breathing surgery. Irish challenger Conflated is on a lengthy losing sequence but also has the form to have a say.
A chance is taken on HANG IN THERE who has been a revelation in staying handicap chases this summer. Bravemansgame is feared most.

1st (3)  (13/8 +35%)Williethebuilder |
13/8(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Williethebuilder 13/8, Novice campaign somewhat stalled following a promising start but off 8 months/following wind surgery, he got firmly back on track when just failing to land 6-runner C&D handicap 17 days ago. Very much one to be interested in with the prospect of more to come. Short-headed on last month's return over C&D; this 5yo could still have more to offer. |
|||
2nd (2)  (12/1 +0%)Alnilam |
12/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Alnilam 12/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat who doubled his hurdles tally on yard debut at Kelso (18.1f) in April. Raced freely and dropped away when ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (20f) in May but fitting of a hood can help on return and he's still lightly raced at 2m. Two novice hurdle wins last season and the first-time hood could be a positive. |
|||
3rd (5)  (15/8 +38%)Goblet Of Fire |
15/8(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Goblet Of Fire 15/8, Most progressive on Flat for this yard and got back on the up in this sphere when comfortably landing 9-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell (15.8f, good) 10 days ago. Another meriting serious respect from 6 lb higher mark. Did it cosily when back over hurdles ten days ago and could still be well treated up 6lb. |
|||
4th (7)  (11/2 +54%)V Twelve |
11/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) V Twelve 11/2, Successful over C&D in March and went in again under positive ride on Flat at Hamilton (11f) in July. Placed all 3 starts under both codes subsequently and his rider takes off a handy 5 lb here. C&D winner; fair third at Carlisle last month but needs a bigger performance today. |
|||
5th (6)  (33/1 -83%)Piecederesistance |
33/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Piecederesistance 33/1, Exploits rather up and down on Flat this summer but matched previous hurdles best when 9 lengths second of 8 in a Fakenham novice (2m) 15 days ago. Switch to handicaps in his favour now but others appeal more for win purposes. Two Flat wins; has shown promise over hurdles but improvement needed off opening mark. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (8/1 +0%)Salsada |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Salsada 8/1, Useful Flat winner who showed benefit of a spin on Flat when second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) 4 weeks ago, edged out on line. Nudged up just 1 lb and booking of Cobden a plus but she wouldn't be certain to be in same form here. Having dropped the weights she was beaten just a short head at Hexham last month; chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
WILLIETHEBUILDER was only beaten a short-head when second in a similar event over C&D a couple of weeks ago and Dan Skelton's gelding merits plenty of respect once again, despite a 2lb rise. Salsada was also narrowly denied on her most recent outing at Hexham and she could prove to be the main threat, although Goblet Of Fire should not be discounted.
WILLIETHEBUILDER was firmly back on track after 8 months off/following wind surgery when narrowly denied in a C&D handicap 17 days ago and with further progress on the cards, he could well be the answer here. Southwell scorer Goblet of Fire is another improving sort and he's feared, along with the returning Spirits Bay.
Nicky Henderson-trained 4yo GOBLET OF FIRE (nap) was a smooth winner at Southwell recently and could still be ahead of the handicapper.

10/3(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Itso Fury 10/3, Useful handicap hurdler. Bettered previous chase efforts when second in handicap at Ludlow last time. On an appealing mark and stable appears to be turning a corner, so he's worth taking a chance on. Big step in right direction when going close at Ludlow; key player if seeing out the trip. |
|||
2nd (9)  (11/2 +78%)Jar Du Desert |
11/2(+78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Jar Du Desert 11/2, Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Tom George prior to making a successful chasing debut in a 4-y-o event at Auteuil for N. George & A. Zetterholm in May. However, not at that level over hurdles/fences for present yard. French winner whose mark has fallen, but he has to improve upon last season's British form. |
|||
3rd (8)  (5/1 +50%)Roll With It |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Roll With It 5/1, Improved model for new yard this season, running out a 10-length winner at Worcester in September. Produced another solid effort when second from his inflated mark at Warwick next time but found run of good form coming to an end at Chepstow on latest. Two wins this season and lost a shoe when tailed off at Chepstow most recently. |
|||
4th (6)  (17/2 -42%)Taste The Fear |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Taste The Fear 17/2, Winner of back-to-back handicap chases at Southwell (both over 24.3f) during the spring. Fell 5 out when bidding for the hat-trick over the same C&D penultimate start and should strip fitter for latest effort over hurdles. Not dismissed. Well beaten over hurdles latest but chasing is his game nowadays (two wins in the spring). |
|||
5th (4)  (10/1 +38%)Captain Quint |
10/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Captain Quint 10/1, Cheekpieces on when regaining the winning thread in a 7-runner Musselburgh handicap (23.6f, soft) in February. Has struggled since but may come on for his debut for this yard (left Rose Dobbin) at Kelso last month. Cheekpieces go back on. He's back in the cheekpieces in which he won in February, but he was tailed off last time. |

6th (1)  (10/1 -300%)Geryville |
10/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Geryville 10/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase at Carlisle in March. 7/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, soft). Off 6 months. Definite claims if he's fully tuned up for this return. In good form in the spring when last seen; contender if at the top of his game. |

7th (7)  (9/2 +36%)Topofthecotswolds |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Topofthecotswolds 9/2, Well handicapped and took a firm step back in the right direction for his in-form yard when third at Ludlow last time. Obvious player if he can build on that. Fair third last time on second start back from an absence; not ruled out off reduced mark. |

|PU| (5)  (11/1 +0%)Harjo |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Harjo 11/1, Ready winner on second chase start at Wincanton last December. Let down by his jumping subsequently and was no better for a return to hurdling at Warwick a month ago. Improved when switched to fences last season but pulled up the last twice (fences/hurdles). |
|||
|PU| (2)  (18/1 -80%)Gold Link |
18/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gold Link 18/1, Opened chase account at Stratford last summer and resumed winning ways over 2½m at Huntingdon a year ago. Probably needed his return at Market Rasen but needs to prove he retains all his ability. No return to form on last month's reappearance but may have needed it; not written off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ITSO FURY bounced back to form when narrowly denied over 2m4f at Ludlow last month and the step up in trip could bring about the required improvement to defy a 2lb rise. Geryville is likely to go well if returning in the same form ash he ended last season, while Topofthecotswolds edges out Gold Link and Roll With It to be best of the rest.
ITSO FURY made a positive step when runner-up at Ludlow on his latest outing and he's well treated on hurdling exploits, so he gets the marginal vote over Geryville, who was in good order when last seen 6 months ago. Topofthecotswolds is another one to consider.
The return to chasing is a positive for TASTE THE FEAR, who won two in a row over fences in the spring, and he gets the nod.
Ths is the racecard key.
