1st (2) (4/5 +27%) Lord Of Thunder |
4/5(+27%) | (2) Lord Of Thunder 4/5, Improving son of Getaway who got off the mark in fine style in 9-runner novice hurdle here (19.8f, heavy) 18 days ago. Looks a smart prospect and holds leading claims. Easy winner over 2m4f here recently and he's promising on the strength of that effort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (16/1 -256%) Casual Observer |
16/1(-256%) | (4) Casual Observer 16/1, Points runner-up but (2/1) he came in only fourth of 5 in bumper at Market Rasen on NH debut 30 days ago. Stepped up in trip for his hurdles debut and remains with potential. Fourth of five in his bumper; should do better now raised in trip for hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/3 -11%) Heros De Romay |
10/3(-11%) | (1) Heros De Romay 10/3, Well-bred bumper winner who showed a good attitude to make a successful hurdling debut at Chepstow in November. Had a hard race but has been given time to recover and should put up another bold showing. Unbeaten on heavy ground; high up the list here on form and potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (25/1 -25%) Theyseekhimthere |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Theyseekhimthere 25/1, Had a wind op before 125/1-winner on hurdles debut at Lingfield (19.5f) in November. Only eighth in similar event at Chepstow since but may have found that run coming too quickly so not written off. Lingfield winner who then capitulated late on at Chepstow; hard to be confident. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4/1 +11%) Paddy De Pole |
4/1(+11%) | (5) Paddy De Pole 4/1, Alkaadhem gelding. Winning Irish pointer who shaped as if better for the run when third of 9 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, heavy) on NH debut 28 days ago, not knocked about. Can build on it. Just 1-6 in points; beaten 29l on hurdling debut but the winner is useful. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A determined winner of a decent contest on his hurdling debut at Chepstow in November, HEROS DE ROMAY should have plenty more to come over this longer trip, and the ground should be of no concern either. Lord Of Thunder wasn't for catching here over 2m4f last time out and he must be a leading player, along with Paddy De Pole, who showed a modicum of promise on his Rules debut.
A few of these offer potential but there was a lot to like about LORD OF THUNDER's recent success here so he looks the way to go before tackling better things. Kim Bailey's likeable Chepstow scorer Heros de Romay should ensure Joe Tizzard's improving son of Getaway doesn't have things all his own way though, while Paddy de Pole can also take a step forward and needs factoring in too.
Joe Tizzard's LORD OF THUNDER has bounced back well from his stiff task first time out over hurdles and won easily here last time.

Sammy's Guarantee |
(7) (9/1 +55%)9/1(+55%) | (7) Sammy's Guarantee 9/1, Runner-up sole outing in point bumpers and has shown signs of ability in a trio of starts over hurdles, finishing with some running left at Exeter on her latest outing. Remains capable of better having had a wind op. Tailed off in her three hurdles; has had wind operation since the latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (6) (9/4 +63%) Mairis Icon |
9/4(+63%) | (6) Mairis Icon 9/4, Having been brought along steadily over hurdles, produced her best effort yet when fourth of 11 at this course (19.8f) on handicap debut 18 days ago. Can give her running again back down in distance. Came up short (beaten about 5l) in a Class 5 handicap here last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/4 +7%) Majestic Jameela |
7/4(+7%) | (8) Majestic Jameela 7/4, Modest form on Flat and off the mark at the fifth attempt over hurdles when landing the odds at Leicester in November. Not discredited when fourth in listed juvenile event at Newbury last time and she could be thereabouts once more. Ran well on the figures at Newbury latest; brings strong claims back at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/1 -33%) Bethpage |
10/1(-33%) | (1) Bethpage 10/1, Some encouragement when mid-field in a pair of bumpers and, after 7 months off, shaped as if likely to come on for the run when sixth of 10 in mares novice at Huntingdon on hurdles debut in November. Open to improvement. No better than sixth in all her races and twice withdrawn on account of soft ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 +65%) Friars Island Lady |
7/1(+65%) | (4) Friars Island Lady 7/1, Successful at the eighth time of asking in Irish points. However, with a tongue strap applied she was pulled up at Ludlow (21.2f) on her hurdling debut in October. Needs to leave her latest effort behind dropped in trip (has had a wind op). Took eight goes to win a point; quiet on rules debut and since had a wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|R| (3) (4/1 -220%) Fresh Kiss |
4/1(-220%) | (3) Fresh Kiss 4/1, Fairly useful performer on Flat in France (stays 12.5f) for Christopher Head, winning 4 times. Off 6 months but she's one to note as she makes her stable/hurdling debut. 11 Flat starts in France, winning four from 1m2f to 1m4f (with give underfoot). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 -52%) Jamaicaine |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Jamaicaine 50/1, Runner-up only start in French bumpers and offered something to work on when third in mares novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.9f) in February last year. Never on terms making her return from 10 months off at Taunton in December, though. Beaten a long way in two hurdles for this yard; one for handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MAJESTIC JAMEELA didn't disgrace herself in Listed company at Newbury and this represents a significant drop in grade, so she may be able to return to the form that saw her win easily at Leicester on her penultimate outing. Fresh Kiss is one to note for market support ahead of her UK/jumping debut, while it is also worth keeping an eye on Mairis Icon.
A four-time winner from 11 starts on the Flat, FRESH KISS is an interesting recruit from France and she could be up to making a winning hurdles debut for Jamie Snowden. Majestic Jameela can give another good account.
Majestic Jameela sets the standard but a chance is taken on four-time French Flat winner FRESH KISS.

1st (3) (10/3 +5%) Fast Buck |
10/3(+5%) | (3) Fast Buck 10/3, Just the one win from 14 starts over fences and has failed to fire last 4 outings. Others preferred. From a yard having winners and he's well treated on peak form from last winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (15/8 +77%) Prince Quali |
15/8(+77%) | (4) Prince Quali 15/8, Fair chaser in France, winning amateur riders minor event at Auteuil in 2021/22. Missed last season and left David Cottin for €10,000 in February. Almost certainly needed the run on first outing for 20 months in handicap hurdle here 25 days ago. This should reveal more. Hurdle/chase winner in France; quiet British debut over hurdles when easy to back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (5/2 +62%) Fakir |
5/2(+62%) | (6) Fakir 5/2, Won a 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell early last season. Mixed bag since, failing to build on reappearance second at Sedgefield (21f, soft) when remote fifth at Bangor 22 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Returned to modest mode at Bangor and risky here with cheekpieces turned to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +46%) Mr Grey Sky |
7/2(+46%) | (2) Mr Grey Sky 7/2, Won on second attempt over fences at Huntingdon on return and followed up at 19 days later at Chepstow (16f, soft), though perhaps rather fortunate given the favourite's fall. However, ran an alarming race in his hat-trick bid at Newbury 17 days ago and headgear now applied. Poor at Newbury 17 days ago but had won his previous two; will like the ground. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Fast Buck continues to creep down the ratings and is certainly capable of being competitive, as is Magic Saint, who has a 206-day absence to overcome but boasts a record of two wins from three starts at this venue. Prince Quali and Fakir are by no means out of it either, but a chance is taken on MR GREY SKY. Although disappointing at Newbury last time, he won his two previous races at Huntingdon and Chepstow and forecast heavy ground will be right up his street. The 10-year-old may also improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces.
MAGIC SAINT had been running well in hunters before seeming amiss back in a handicap at Newton Abbot in June and is worth another chance back from a break off what remains a tempting mark. Mr Grey Sky is feared most.
Trappy. FAST BUCK lurks on a dangerous mark and could be worth chancing with the stable having two winners with its last three runners.

1st (10) (8/1 -7%) Daany |
8/1(-7%) | (10) Daany 8/1, Dual winner on the Flat and posted his best effort yet in this sphere when runner-up in a soft-ground C&D handicap in November. Wasn't disgraced at Exeter next time but he again didn't look entirely straightforward and may again find one or two too good. Modest last time but his previous second here brings him into the equation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/2 +9%) Fourofakind |
5/2(+9%) | (2) Fourofakind 5/2, Fairly useful form on the Flat in Ireland and made it third time lucky in this sphere at Haydock last spring. However, he hasn't covered himself in glory in handicap company since and now finds himself with a fair bit to prove. Modest for a while but in good hands and the handicapper is giving him a chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (7/2 +46%) One Last Glance |
7/2(+46%) | (7) One Last Glance 7/2, Fair maiden hurdler who proved he retains all his ability on the back of a 20-month absence when hitting the cossbar in handicap at Lingfield (2m, good to soft). Likely to be in the mix, provided he is able to at least match that level of form here. Returning from 612 days away when very nearly making most of the running at Lingfield. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/1 +18%) Mini Yeats |
7/1(+18%) | (3) Mini Yeats 7/1, Has made the frame on several occasions in maiden, novice and handicap company, and didn't shape badly when fifth in a big-field C&D contest (heavy) back from a 13-month absence. Still, improvement will be needed if he's to open his account at the eighth attempt. 15l behind an impressive winner in a C&D maiden last month on his return from a year out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (40/1 -43%) Maroochi |
40/1(-43%) | (8) Maroochi 40/1, Deservedly shed maiden tag when dead heating at Newton Abbot (21.5f, good to soft) in September 2022. Placed on a couple of occasions since, including when third off 4 lb higher at Plumpton on penultimate start, but she needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Exeter recently. Inconsistent and even if on a good day, this trip is short of her best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (9/1 -6%) Angel's Dream |
9/1(-6%) | (4) Angel's Dream 9/1, Much-improved on third hurdles start when landing a 2m Plumpton maiden (good to firm) last May. Safely held next 2 starts but back on track when fourth of 10 in a handicap back at the aforementioned track 19 days ago and should go well if coping with conditions here (soft-ground winner on the Flat). Beaten 7l at Plumpton latest and will need more here off just 2lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (33/1 -200%) Clinton Lane |
33/1(-200%) | (5) Clinton Lane 33/1, Appeared to take a sizeable step forward when third in an 8-runner C&D maiden in October but his handicap debut display at Lingfield last time wasn't overly inspiring. His improved third at Wincanton in October is beginning to look dodgy form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (4/1 +11%) Feach Amach |
4/1(+11%) | (9) Feach Amach 4/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Jim Bolger and improved plenty on opening hurdles exploits when landing 8-runner Sedgefield juvenile (16.8f, heavy) in November. 4-y-o allowance will be an asset now pitched into a handicap and she's a key player. Brings momentum into handicap debut and unexposed under these conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (14/1 +22%) Starevitch |
14/1(+22%) | (6) Starevitch 14/1, Irish point winner who shaped with some promise on first 2 starts in novice hurdles after a long absence. Well held on firm ground at Newbury next time prior to a low-key chase debut at Ludlow but 5 lb lower reverting to hurdles here and he's not discounted. Returns to hurdles with low mileage for an 8yo but others have more compelling credentials. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ONE LAST GLANCE made a pleasing return from a lengthy absence when runner-up at Lingfield in November and the seven-year-old appears to have been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. Feach Amach was a surprise winner at Sedgefield when last seen and has to enter calculations on her handicap bow. Angel's Dream and Daany are both capable of being in the mix as well.
FEACH AMACH was arguably a shade fortunate when opening her account at Sedgefield but that still represented a significant step forward and she is taken to follow up on this handicap debut. She may have most to fear from Starevitch, who needs to get back on track now reverting to hurdles but it's entirely possible that he will do just that off this reduced mark. Angel's Dream and One Last Glance are others to consider.
An open race but Sedgefield winner FEACH AMACH is just the type that Nigel Hawke excels with and she can maintain her progress.

1st (4) (11/2 +45%) Dibble Decker |
11/2(+45%) | (4) Dibble Decker 11/2, Back-to-back winner of handicap chases at Huntingdon last season but he was put in his place when down the field in the C&D race won by Huelgoat in November. Tongue strap applied. Looked rusty when well behind Huelgoat on his return and he was easy to back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (17/2 -31%) Iconic Muddle |
17/2(-31%) | (6) Iconic Muddle 17/2, Relatively low-mileage 11-y-o who was a good second at Kempton back from 14 months off last February. Signed that campaign off with a below-par effort at the same course but now 1 lb below last winning mark and he's dangerous to discount. Veteran who is on a good mark and can go well when fresh; stable also in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +11%) Georges Saint |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Georges Saint 2/1, Drew a blank over hurdles for current connections but was a winning chaser in France and made it 2-3 over fences on these shores when scoring in good style at Fakenham (21.2f, heavy) recently. 7 lb rise tolerable and will be the one to beat. On a hat-trick; 7lb rise for Fakenham probably asks quite a question of him but respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (10/3 +39%) Jacamar |
10/3(+39%) | (7) Jacamar 10/3, Capitalised on drop in grade when landing 9-runner handicap chase at Leicester last February. Largely below par since but latest C&D second represented a step back in the right direction and he's a key player off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. It was in a lower grade when second here on Boxing Day but should be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 -100%) Go Steady |
11/1(-100%) | (5) Go Steady 11/1, Dual winner in handicap chases last season and arrives here having been far from discredited when fourth in veterans' company at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft). Now 3 lb lower but this 12-y-o looks vulnerable for a win purposes in any case. Respectable fourth at Cheltenham and looks a major player now down a grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (6/1 -80%) Huelgoat |
6/1(-80%) | (1) Huelgoat 6/1, Four-time winner over fences during first half of last season and impressed with his strength at the finish in a well-run race to go in again over this C&D in November. Demanding 3m probably not his bag at Sandown last time and better showing anticipated. C&D winner on good to soft; flopped at Sandown and conditions are again a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (14/1 +13%) Honneur D'ajonc |
14/1(+13%) | (2) Honneur D'ajonc 14/1, Won 4 times over hurdles in 2021/22 and came good at the fifth time of asking over fences in handicap at Hereford last January. However, has failed to complete on 3 of his 4 subsequent starts and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Won a year ago but a rocky road since and cheekpieces did nothing last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
GEORGES SAINT has stepped forward since his first crack at British fences with a pair of victories at Ffos Las and Fakenham. Venetia Williams' grey went up 7lb for the most recent success and further progression appears likely with conditions in his favour. Jacamar is well handicapped on his novice form and remains on the same mark as when runner-up here on Boxing Day. Iconic Muddle ran well when returning from a break at Kempton last season and is noted on this latest comeback off a 5lb lower mark.
GEORGES SAINT is weighted to go well again and looks the one to beat. Having found 3m too much of a test at Sandown last month, Huelgoat is of strong interest back at the scene of his latest success in November. Jacamar and Iconic Muddle are not discounted.
Life is about to get tougher for Georges Saint and preference is for GO STEADY who ran well in a higher grade at Cheltenham.

1st (7) (15/2 +25%) Rare Clouds |
15/2(+25%) | (7) Rare Clouds 15/2, Sole win came at Southwell in May 2022 and has made the frame on each completed outing since, excellent third of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, soft) last time. Not without hope. Placed on all three starts this season but may find at least a couple better handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (9/4 +55%) Astronomic View |
9/4(+55%) | (3) Astronomic View 9/4, Exeter bumper winner who has shown fair form in a light hurdle career, hitting the crossbar switched to handicaps back at Exeter (18.5f) and Bangor (23f) the last twice. Has to enter calculations. Runner-up in first two handicaps and could still have a bigger run in him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (5/1 +0%) Don't Rightly Know |
5/1(+0%) | (2) Don't Rightly Know 5/1, Defied a long absence when readily gettting off the mark in an Exeter novice in November. Backed that up when collared close home over this C&D next time and she's not without hope now handicapping, for all that this assignment demands improvement. Won Exeter novice in November and ran big race in defeat over C&D last month; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/2 -81%) Individualiste |
5/2(-81%) | (4) Individualiste 5/2, Fair on the Flat in France and appeared to improve for the fitting of cheekpieces when bolting up at Taunton (19f, good to soft) last weekend. Several of his main rivals seemingly underperformed on that occasion but he's still lightly-raced and is effectively just 4 lb higher here. Won easily in first-time cheekpieces a week ago and is now 2-6 over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (12/1 +14%) Bumpy Johnson |
12/1(+14%) | (1) Bumpy Johnson 12/1, Won pair of 2½m Ffos Las handicap hurdles in a productive 2022/3 campaign. Very much one to consider back in this sphere following a couple of inauspicious displays over fences. Chasing has not gone to plan this season but he reverts to hurdling on last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (15/2 -67%) Intimate |
15/2(-67%) | (5) Intimate 15/2, Placed in a bumper in France and has left his low-key hurdles debut behind since undergoing a wind op, finishing a close third upped to 2½m at Uttoxeter (heavy) recently. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair and bold show likely. Close third in Uttoxeter maiden last month and open to further improvement in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (16/1 +0%) Hasty Parisian |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Hasty Parisian 16/1, Consistent sort who was in the process of running his usual creditable race back from 4 months off when departing 2 out at Newton Abbot (21.6f, heavy) in October. However, his subsequent Exeter display was not so good. Consistent in first half of last year and didn't run badly last month, after a break. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
INDIVIDUALISTE bolted up over 2m3f at Taunton last week and he was only put up 4lb for that victory, which could prove to be very lenient, and he might be hard to beat again. Astronomic View has hit the crossbar the last twice and is likely to be on the premises off a 3lb higher mark than his latest effort at Bangor. Intimate could also have a say on his handicap bow after his close-up third at Uttoxeter.
Cases can be made for the majority of these with INTIMATE shading preference ahead of facile Taunton winner Individualiste. The selection appears to be going the right way judged on his close third at Uttoxeter and there could be better to come now that he ventures down the handicap route. Bumpy Johnson is on a winning mark back in this sphere and is best of the rest.
Low-mileage mare DON'T RIGHTLY KNOW (nap) was impressive when winning at Exeter in November and nearly followed up over C&D last month.

1st (2) (4/1 -14%) Haston Clermont |
4/1(-14%) | (2) Haston Clermont 4/1, Failed to match bumper promise in 3 novice hurdles last season but left chase/handicap bow well behind when winning at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) on second start back 26 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Should have more to offer in this sphere. Ground it out over 2m7f at Lingfield and can improve again for going further here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/1 +13%) Seymour Promise |
7/1(+13%) | (6) Seymour Promise 7/1, Long-standing maiden who was again prominent in the betting at Exeter last time but seems to have completely lost his form. Remains a maiden (0-18) and he had a bit of a shocker behind Percy Veering last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (7/2 +75%) Hilltown |
7/2(+75%) | (5) Hilltown 7/2, Most fortunate when getting off the mark hurdles at Plumpton (25f, soft) in April but held his form reasonably well subsequently in that sphere. Hasn't posed much of a threat over fences in 3 starts to date, however, let down by jumping at Lingfield latest. Won off a much higher mark over hurdles but very opposable on his chasing exploits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/2 +0%) Caeruleum |
5/2(+0%) | (3) Caeruleum 5/2, Well held in novice hurdles but showed some improvement on handicap bow when sixth here on belated return and even better switched to fences for the first time when 4¼ lengths second to Percy Veering at Exeter last month, clear of rest. 5 lb better off with winner here. Tongue strap on. Big shout. Kept Percy Veering busy at Exeter and has a 5lb pull this afternoon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (4/1 -100%) Percy Veering |
4/1(-100%) | (1) Percy Veering 4/1, Much improved this season after a breathing operation, winning all 3 starts in handicap chases, including at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) 24 days ago by 4¼ lengths from Caeruleum. 5 lb worse off with runner-up here but solid claims nonetheless. A further 6lb rise equates to a 19lb hike in all for his hat-trick but he's likeable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (18/1 -200%) Galway Mahler |
18/1(-200%) | (4) Galway Mahler 18/1, Returned to form from out of the blue fitted with this headgear when 1½ lengths third of 12 to Haston Clermont in handicap chase at Lingfield (23.5f, good to soft) 26 days ago but remains to be seen if able to back that up (pulled up 5 of 6 previous starts). Latest improved third may be a tad dubious but it was his first run in cheekpieces. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
PERCY VEERING is unbeaten in three starts since undergoing a second wind operation and his latest success at Exeter suggested his winning streak isn't likely to come to an end just yet. He is now rated 19lb higher than at the beginning of his sequence, but could continue his rapid improvement. Haston Clermont struck at Lingfield last month and can prove the main threat off a 5lb higher rating, while Caeruleum may show more in a first-time tongue-tie.
CAERULEUM found Percy Veering too strong when first and second at Exeter last month but Caeruleum was making his chase debut that day so may be able to reverse the placings with a 5 lb swing in the weights. Haston Clermont was suited by the stamina test when off the mark at Lingfield and is best of the others.
He's shooting up the weights but PERCY VEERING is a likeable handicapper who keeps things simple and he might well win again.
