1st (5)  (33/1 -32%)Getalead |
33/1(-32%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Getalead 33/1, Added to his tally with pair of small-field victories in September 2022. Very lightly raced since, running no sort of race when pulled up at Kempton (24.5f) back in May. Drops back markedly in trip on this first start for 6 months. Absent 311 days before below form in 2024, given wind surgery before penultimate start. |
|||
2nd (9)  (11/1 +31%)Gold For Alec |
11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Gold For Alec 11/1, Showed some promise in 2 bumpers and similar story in finishing fourth in pair of hurdle outings during second half of last season. Makes a quick switch to handicaps on return to action and significant if the market spoke in his favour. Beaten about 12l in both hurdle starts (after two bumpers) but unexposed handicap debutant. |
|||
3rd (8)  (12/1 +40%)Tour Ovalie |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Tour Ovalie 12/1, Fair in bumpers and of similar merit over hurdles, off the mark in mares' handicap at Stratford (16.3f) in May. Respectable efforts in handicaps at Cartmel/Newton Abbot thereafter but she likely needs to pull out a little more back from a break. Won at Stratford in May; creditable both starts since but needs to find something extra. |
|||
4th (3)  (20/1 -150%)Douglas Dc |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Douglas Dc 20/1, Fair handicapper hurdler who returned to form in refitted cheekpieces when runner-up in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (2m) 30 days ago, tackled final 1f and worried out of it. This looks a tougher ask. Looked set to win for most of the closing stages last time but went down by a nose. |
|||
5th (6)  (4/1 +47%)Pyrotechnic |
4/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Pyrotechnic 4/1, Winner on the Flat in France. Definite promise to glean from first 2 starts over hurdles and he did too much on the front end when twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, heavy) in December. Remains low-mileage and he appeals as the type to do better now handicapping. Had wind surgery. Tailed off on third go over hurdles, before wind op; off 312 days but could be interesting. |
|||
6th (4)  (8/1 +0%)Him Malaya |
8/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Him Malaya 8/1, C&D winner who posted good placed efforts over hurdles at Kempton/Ludlow in the spring. Never figured sent chasing at Newton Abbot (21f) in June but he appeals as the type to bounce back returned to hurdling/after 5 months off. Chase debut in June did not go at all smoothly but he should be competitive back hurdling. |
|||
7th (7)  (10/3 +33%)Therapist |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Therapist 10/3, Steadily progressive hurdler who landed back-to-back handicaps at Southwell/Huntingdon in May and placed all 3 starts since, doing well to split a better placed pair when second at Newton Abbot (16.7f) in September. Of interest again. Progressive form in handicap hurdles and her Flat level suggests she can do better still. |
|||
8th (1)  (9/2 +0%)Liverpool Knight |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Liverpool Knight 9/2, Raised his game for a third victory of 2023/24 at Market Rasen (16.6f) last September and he lines up here in good form, running up to best when third at Uttoxeter (20f) in July. Switched yards since and this reliable operator looks sure to give another good account. Three wins last July-September and mostly ran creditably in defeat since; left Olly Murphy. |
|||
9th (2)  (4/1 -78%)Reach For The Moon |
4/1(-78%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Reach For The Moon 4/1, Smart Flat winner who struck at fourth attempt over hurdles at Worcester (2m) in July and suited by emphasis on speed when defying a penalty back from a break at Fontwell (17.7f) 23 days ago. Definite potential for better still now handicapping and this test looks ideal. Won last two; makes handicap hurdle debut and looks to be getting his act together again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
REACH FOR THE MOON is starting to put it all together now over hurdles and arrives here full of confidence following back-to-back wins at Worcester and Fontwell. His running style should be well suited to this track and further improvement likely beckons on his handicap debut in this sphere. Therapist was narrowly denied at Newton Abbot latest and should be thereabouts again, while Him Malaya is back over timber for this assignment and appeals as the sole C&D winner in the field.
Smart Flat performer/dual hurdles winner, REACH FOR THE MOON very much appeals as the type who will be ideally suited by the demands of this sort of test now handicapping and earns the vote to complete the hat-trick. 4-y-o Therapist is holding form very well and she's a threat, as is the reliable Liverpool Knight and the returning Him Malaya.
Reach For The Moon and Pyrotechnic must be noted but THERAPIST has done well in handicap hurdles and further progress is likely.

1st (3)  (1/2 +31%)East India Dock |
1/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) East India Dock 1/2, Useful staying handicapper on the Flat for James Fanshawe and rates a good hurdle prospect having joined James Owen (same owner). Progressed into a useful stayer on Flat, including two wins; half-brother to Burdett Road. |
|||
2nd (5)  (4/1 -14%)Hot Fuss |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hot Fuss 4/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1¾m). Interesting recruit to hurdles. His useful Flat form (goes well on soft and heavy) is almost the best in this line-up. |
|||
3rd (4)  (5/1 +38%)Give It To Me Oj |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Give It To Me Oj 5/1, Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 1½m). Stamina shouldn't be an issue now hurdling but a couple of these are better than him on the Flat. Seven-race maiden on Flat but has pretty useful form up to 1m3f; cheekpieces off. |
|||
4th (1)  (25/1 -39%)Battle Of Omdurman |
25/1(-39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Battle Of Omdurman 25/1, Fair maiden on the Flar who made a winning start over hurdles for Deborah Cole at Stratford (2m, good, 15/2) in July. Matched that form when second under a penalty at Uttoxeter but ran poorly at Wetherby recently. 1st and 2nd in his first two hurdle races; pulled up as if something amiss 11 days ago. |
|||
5th (6)  (80/1 -300%)Mach Ten |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mach Ten 80/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Karl Burke. New connections went to 35,000 gns to acquire him in July. Will likely need to be well above average to see off some of these rivals on hurdle debut. Fair maiden on the Flat for Karl Burke, 2nd over 1m6f in May latest; 35,000gns buy in July. |
|||
6th (7)  (100/1 -150%)Rapid Mission |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rapid Mission 100/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 12.5f) but well held switched to hurdles at Chepstow 15 days ago. Can only watch after that. Both British Flat runs were disappointing and he tailed off on hurdling debut at Chepstow. |
|||
7th (8)  (100/1 -100%)St Lukes Chelsea |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) St Lukes Chelsea 100/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for Ralph Beckett at 2. Switches to hurdles for new yard after 11 months off. A watching brief is advised. Modest maiden on Flat as 2yo for Ralph Beckett; sold for 13,000gns last November. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (33/1 +0%)Masonbrook Meadow |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Masonbrook Meadow 33/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who has hit the frame on all 4 starts since switching to hurdles but is likely to find at least the odd one too strong again in this warm race. In the frame on all four hurdling starts but another minor role is probably her best hope. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (40/1 -60%)Sophie Power |
40/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Sophie Power 40/1, Won a 1½m conditions event on soft ground for Henri Devin on her sole Flat start in France. Worth a look in the betting on hurdle debut but a useful effort will likely be needed to see off some of these rivals Won at Wissembourg (1m4f, soft) in May on her only French Flat start. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (66/1 -633%)Crest Of Honour |
66/1(-633%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Crest Of Honour 66/1, Went off at 4/5 but ran is needing the run when well-held fourth of 5 on Hereford debut 13 days ago, dropping away from home turn. Evidently thought capable of better. 2-1 favourite at Hereford (2m, good) 13 days ago but beaten 23l in fourth of five. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Clearly a lot more was expected from Crest Of Honour when he could only manage fourth of five on debut at Hereford 13 days ago, as the punters sent him off a 2-1 favourite. He'll no doubt improve for the experience, but it could pay to focus on some of the interesting Flat recruits and EAST INDIA DOCK leaps off the page for James Owen and Sam Twiston-Davies. He was in great nick on the level last month, including when scoring at Goodwood, and should know his job given his connections. Give It To Me Oj and Hot Fuss are also key players.
Some of these have achieved enough on the Flat to think they could make good juvenile hurdlers, notably EAST INDIA DOCK who has joined James Owen for his jumps career. Hot Fuss is a similar standard to the selection on the level and is second choice ahead of Give It To Me Oj.
This looks ripe for a hurdling newcomer as EAST INDIA DOCK, Hot Fuss and Give It To Me Oj have plenty of ability on the Flat.

1st (9)  (6/1 -80%)Vaguely Royal |
6/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Vaguely Royal 6/1, Useful stayer on the Flat for the Gosden stable. 65,000 gns purchase and presumably needed the run sent hurdling after 4 months off here recently, fading out of third last. Turned out quickly and capable of better. Useful Flat racer; well-held fourth over C&D recently but should come on for the run. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/3 +5%)Tuxedo Junction |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Tuxedo Junction 10/3, Didn't get home sent hurdling for new yard at Chepstow (2m), but had missed over a year since signing off a fairly useful Flat career for James Fanshawe and was better than the result. Entitled to improve and one to consider. Shaped well before fading into fifth on stable/hurdle debut; high on the list. |
|||
3rd (2)  (9/2 +10%)High Fibre |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) High Fibre 9/2, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¼m), turned out again quickly when well below form last time. From the family of useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Zanjabeel, so hope for him now jumping. Likely type. Useful Flat racer; not at best lately but still an interesting recruit to hurdling. |
|||
4th (10)  (18/1 +10%)Woodstock City |
18/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Woodstock City 18/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 10.5f), won at Ripon in August. Easy to back but in the process of showing some aptitude for hurdling when falling heavily 2 out at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Three Flat wins; in contention for a place before penultimate-flight fall on hurdle debut. |
|||
5th (6)  (11/2 0%)Karaktere D'enfer |
11/2(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Karaktere D'enfer 11/2, Close second to a useful sort in a newcomers race at Fontainebleau in March 2023 and more encouragement for this yard after 8 months off in 2m Uttoxeter maiden on return, considerately handled (reportedly had breathing problem). One to note. Went close on debut in France in 2023 but disappointing so far in Britain (four runs). |
|||
6th (16)  (200/1 -100%)Sain Et Sauf |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (16) Sain Et Sauf 200/1, From the family of Protektorat but little impact in 3 point bumpers (latest May 27). Showed no significant promise in three point bumpers in the spring; rules debut today. |
|||
7th (12)  (18/1 +45%)Golden Dove |
18/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Golden Dove 18/1, Fair on Flat (stays 1½m), fared best of those ridden prominently last time. Hood fitted for hurdles debut. Quite consistent on the Flat this year; competitive at this level if she takes to hurdling. |
|||
8th (7)  (14/1 +0%)Moab |
14/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Moab 14/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and showed some aptitude for hurdling at Worcester (2m) 3 months ago, mistake 2 out and fading. Fair Flat racer who made fairly encouraging hurdle debut when fourth at Worcester in July. |
|||
9th (15)  (16/1 +36%)As Fast As Wind |
16/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) As Fast As Wind 16/1, Fair maiden at best on the Flat in Ireland (stays 1½m) and caught the eye making late gains from an impossible position sent hurdling after 8 weeks off at Exeter recently. Headgear back on. Became disappointing on the Flat in Ireland this year; low-key hurdle debut this month. |
|||
10th (14)  (80/1 -21%)Missy Mole |
80/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Missy Mole 80/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points but 50/1 and well held in mares' hurdle at Chepstow on recent return. Drops in trip. Second in big-field Irish point in April but a well-beaten outsider on recent hurdle debut. |
|||
11th (3)  (4/1 +33%)Rangatira Jack |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rangatira Jack 4/1, Fair form in novice/maiden hurdles last season, including over C&D. Handicaps over further will suit but returns in a winnable race and has place claims at the very least. Fair form when placed twice (once over C&D) in spring; each-way claims at least today. |
|||
12th (1)  (14/1 +13%)Badbury Rings |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Badbury Rings 14/1, From a good jumps family and runner-up second (only completed) of 2 starts in points. Not knocked about on recent hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m, 14/1), looking one for the longer term. Made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut at Chepstow this month; improvement required. |
|||
13th (13)  (66/1 0%)Lake's Aventurine |
66/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Lake's Aventurine 66/1, Well held in bumpers and 2m Southwell maiden hurdle earlier this year. Looks one for handicaps down the line. Posed no threat in mares' maiden hurdle on latest outing in May. |
|||
14th (11)  (25/1 -127%)Frenelope |
25/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Frenelope 25/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Dam 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3m) Gold Present. Yard in form and get first time out winners so she's worth a market check. Second foal from a fair 2m3f hurdle winner; probably best watched on debut. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (100/1 0%)Till You Can't |
100/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Till You Can't 100/1, Pulled up in point and little show in bumpers/maiden hurdle. Struggled when a big-priced outsider for hurdling debut in July. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (200/1 -100%)Yourawizardharry |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Yourawizardharry 200/1, 100/1, well held in similar event at Uttoxeter on hurdles debut 3 weeks ago. Struggled when 100-1 for recent debut at Uttoxeter and can't be recommended here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
High Fibre was useful on the Flat and must be respected on his hurdling debut for a top yard. The market may reveal more in regards to stable confidence, but perhaps the safer play is to side with VAGUELY ROYAL on this occasion, purely because he has the benefit of already having a run over timber and is likely to have come on plenty for those course exertions. Rangatira Jack is more experienced than them both and his Exeter second in April was a good run.
A trappy maiden that could go to TUXEDO JUNCTION, who shaped better than the result first time up over hurdles after 13 months off at Chepstow. Vaguely Royal is turned out quickly after a promising start in this sphere here last week and can improve also. Rangatira Jack, High Fibre and Karaktere d'Enfer complete the shortlist.
Useful Flat racer VAGUELY ROYAL ran well for a long way on his hurdle debut and can make the necessary improvement today.

11/4(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Numitor 11/4, Found plenty when resuming winning ways in veterans' company at Haydock (19.9f) in March. Struggled in stronger company next 2 starts but this rates more suitable back from 5 months off and his mark has eased. Won final of this series at Haydock in March but final two spring runs were disappointing. |
|||
2nd (2)  (2/1 -33%)Glynn |
2/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Glynn 2/1, Lightly raced for his age and really got the hang of this game in recent months, supplementing pair of handicap victories in 4-runner Newton Abbot novice (21f) in September. Bold showing on the front end looks on the cards again returned to handicap company. Collected three small-field chase wins during the summer; evidently in good nick. |
|||
3rd (4)  (7/2 +22%)Le Ligerien |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Le Ligerien 7/2, Added another small-field chase victory to his tally at Kempton (20.5f) last November. Largely ran with credit prior to a lesser run back at Kempton (18f) in April but returns with yard amongst the winners and another afforded a chance by the assessor. Had wind surgery. Out of form in the spring but resumes on a good mark and needs to be taken very seriously. |
|||
4th (6)  (7/1 -17%)Kauto The King |
7/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Kauto The King 7/1, Ungenuine type but he scored at Newton Abbot in August and he kept the errors at bay when runner-up at Exeter (19.2f) 17 days ago. Looks to have more on his plate operating from out of the weights on this occasion but he's no forlorn hope. 3lb wrong today but ran well at Exeter recently and this C&D suits him well. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (6/1 +40%)Presentandcounting |
6/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Presentandcounting 6/1, Twice a winner in small field chase contests in 2023. Largely underwhelming since but he did hint at a revival in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f) 18 days ago. Now his task is to build on that effort. Good-ground specialist; not at his best this year but has slipped to a tempting mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
GLYNN has enjoyed a productive spell in recent months having landed a hat-trick of wins over fences, with the latest coming in novice company. Despite being 9lb higher than his penultimate success at Stratford, the 10-year-old could prove a tough nut to crack once again. Kauto The King chased home the selection at Newton Abbot in August and is expected to play a similar role, while Numitor is no back number based on his Haydock success in March.
GLYNN has really got his act together in the jumping department of late, bringing up the hat-trick in determined fashion in a Newton Abbot novice (21f) 37 days ago. He looks to hold sound claims back in a handicap. Returning pair Le Ligerien and Numitor may emerge as the chief dangers.
Preference is for LE LIGERIEN, who makes his seasonal debut from a very tempting mark and with conditions in his favour.

11/1(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Remastered 11/1, Smart handicapper on his day but has been well below his best for a while now so makes limited appeal. Very useful staying handicapper in his prime but was pulled up in his last four chases. |
|||
2nd (5)  (25/1 -79%)Deise Aba |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Deise Aba 25/1, Useful but unpredictable chaser for Philip Hobbs. Successful in 4 of 6 starts in points, including latest (Apr 1). Sold from Francesca Poste £10,000 later in May and likely to find this too competitive. Won hunter chase for different stable last spring but is no longer the force of old. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/4 +65%)Credo |
7/4(+65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Credo 7/4, Has a decent strike rate and was a good winner of this race on her comeback last season. Big run expected. Won this race readily a year ago and has slipped back down to a good mark; big player. |
|||
4th (7)  (7/1 -100%)No Hubs No Hoobs |
7/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) No Hubs No Hoobs 7/1, Form took off fitted with blinkers last 3 starts last season, winning twice here before completing hat-trick at Exeter final start. Can handle faster ground and remains of interest. Ended last term with three heavy-ground wins in blinkers; ground is a worry today, though. |
|||
5th (8)  (14/1 +30%)Lieutenant Rocco |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lieutenant Rocco 14/1, Unpredictable sort who produced only one decent effort last season. Starts the new campaign with questions to answer for new yard. Pulled up in Aintree Foxhunters' in April but makes stable debut from a workable mark. |
|||
6th (2)  (15/2 -150%)Quick Draw |
15/2(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Quick Draw 15/2, Has an all-or-nothing profile but made it 4 wins in this sphere for Nicky Henderson after 3 months off when making all here (25.1f, soft) in February. Ran poorly at Kempton 3 months later but no surprise to see him bounce back (won on return last season). Off since poor run in May but won when fresh last October and also struck here in February. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (5/2 +64%)My Silver Lining |
5/2(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) My Silver Lining 5/2, Relished increased test of stamina when bagging fourth chase win in Classic Chase at Warwick in January. Excellent placed efforts in Grand National Trial at Haydock/Midlands National at Uttoxeter next 2 starts and easy to forgive final run (Scottish National). Won on her return here last season. Won on good ground last October but subsequent improvement came in slow-ground marathons. |

|PU| (3)  (14/1 -40%)Found On |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Found On 14/1, Has been a good servant but ended last season with 2 poor efforts after 4 months off. Bit to prove now. Ended last season in poor form but won in good style when fresh last autumn. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
QUICK DRAW won off a break at Ludlow last October before doing similar when bouncing back from a disappointing effort at Cheltenham later that month to win here on his return in February. Conditions appear to be ideal for the son of Getaway and this could be the time to catch him. My Silver Lining improved a fair amount in staying chases last season and her Classic Chase success was complimented by placed efforts in the Grand National Trial at Haydock and the Midlands National. The eight-year-old's general consistency gives her obvious claims, while Found On is another who boasts a fine record when fresh.
CREDO held her form well after a good winner of this race on her comeback run last season and another big run looks on the cards. No Hubs No Hoobs has been a revelation since fitted with blinkers so must be respected, while My Silver Lining had an excellent campaign last season, including when making a winning reappearance here.
This looks good for CREDO (nap), who won this race when fresh a year ago and defends her crown from a good mark.

1st (12)  (16/5 +68%)Camino Rocio |
16/5(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Camino Rocio 16/5, Modest maiden hurdler/chaser who was a below-par seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good to firm) 58 days ago on his final run for Henrietta Knight. Visored for new handler with more required. Now 7lb lower than when second on chase debut in June; could be dangerous on stable debut. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/4 +45%)Eyed |
11/4(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Eyed 11/4, A fair hurdler/chaser but a below-form fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Plumpton (19.8f, good to firm) 168 days ago on his final run for Paul Webber. Has since had a wind op so one to consider after a break for his new yard. 0-6 over fences for Paul Webber but starts off for new stable on a workable mark. |
|||
3rd (14)  (16/1 +52%)Mr Sociable |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Mr Sociable 16/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who's easy to oppose from 9 lb out of the handicap. Ran well when fourth at Exeter on Tuesday but is again 9lb out of the weights here. |
|||
4th (8)  (15/2 +6%)Celtic Fortune |
15/2(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Celtic Fortune 15/2, A fair maiden hurdler who wasn't discredited in first-time tongue strap when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good) 154 days ago. One to consider now starting out over fences. 0-12 over hurdles but ran quite well in May on latest outing; could have a say. |
|||
5th (10)  (20/1 -25%)Universal Secret |
20/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Universal Secret 20/1, Maiden hurdler who came in last of 6 in handicap chase (80/1) at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 98 days ago. Back down in trip with work to do. Dual winner here over hurdles but has been out of form for a good while now. |
|||
6th (6)  (12/1 -140%)Nadim |
12/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nadim 12/1, A three-time winner over hurdles in 2023 who showed some promise sent chasing for his new yard when third of 11 in 2m4f Stratford novice handicap last time. In the mix with progress on the cards. Not very consistent but kept on for third on recent stable/chase debut at Stratford. |
|||
7th (2)  (16/1 -100%)I Am Gonna Be |
16/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) I Am Gonna Be 16/1, Unreliable type but she posted a respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good) 33 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase with cheekpieces on for 1st time. Others appeal more. Second at Bangor in June but subsequent chase/hurdle form has been underwhelming. |
|||
8th (4)  (22/1 -10%)Poker Master |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Poker Master 22/1, Five-time winner over hurdles but isn't bred for chasing and was well held both attempts at Market Rasen and Huntingdon last term. Others are much preferred. Well handicapped on hurdling form but was well beaten in both chases last season; risky. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (5/1 +38%)American Land |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) American Land 5/1, Off 6 months before a patiently-ridden third of 8 in novice hurdle here (15.2f, good) 10 days ago. Yard among the winners so he's not without interest on his chase debut significantly up in trip. Third in recent maiden hurdle here; open to improvement on chase/handicap debut. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (20/1 +0%)Bella Ciao |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Bella Ciao 20/1, Modest maiden hurdler who recorded a respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good) 33 days ago. Possibilities now going over fences. 0-9 over hurdles and needs to up her game on this chasing debut. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (22/1 -144%)What A Steal |
22/1(-144%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) What A Steal 22/1, Opened his account in 2m4f chase at Worcester in June but only seventh of 9 in handicap there (20f, good) 136 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Surprise winner at Worcester in June but back in doldrums on next outing. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (28/1 -27%)Stopherandgo |
28/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Stopherandgo 28/1, A modest winner at 15f over hurdles but she came in eighth of 12 in handicap chase at Taunton (21.7f, good) on her debut over fences. Off 6 months with more needed. Out of form last season, most recently when well beaten on chasing debut in April. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
NADIM showed some promise when third over the extended 2m3f at Stratford on his chasing bow earlier in the month and he can improve for that experience off a 1lb lower mark. His race-fitness and experience over fences earns him the vote ahead of Poker Master and Celtic Fortune, although they both showed enough over hurdles to be of interest now switched to larger obstacles. Paddy In The Caddy failed back up his handicap hurdle success at Huntington in March when last seen at Exeter in April, but he has had a wind operation ahead of this seasonal/chase debut and would be dangerous to dismiss.
This is wide open so it is worth siding with AMERICAN LAND to built on a considerate reappearance third here and can make a winning start over fences for the in-form Joe Tizzard team. Celtic Fortune (second choice) and Eyed both warrant plenty of respect along with Nadim and Paddy In the Caddy.
The pick is CAMINO ROCIO, who has gone the wrong way since his pleasing chase debut but starts off for his new stable on a good mark.

Leading stable has a very strong bumper record. Much respected, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. 5,000euros 3yo; top yard has fine strike-rate in bumpers but 0-5 in them this term. |
|||

|||
7th (4)  (14/1 0%)Quinn's Reward |
14/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Quinn's Reward 14/1, Half-brother to 3 winners on Flat, including a useful 9f winner abroad by Lomitas. Has had wind surgery ahead of debut. The betting should guide. Has an interesting German pedigree; had wind surgery in July; needs a check. |
|||

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
With no form to go on, the betting market could be the best guide to this contest but a bold bid will be expected from Katana. A half-brother to a hurdle and chase winner in Europe, his powerful connections laid out 45,000 euro to secure him as a three-year-old, but narrow preference is for 76,000-pound purchase TAKEONEDAYATATIME. The Paul Nicholls-trained filly is out of a bumper-winning dam and the yard are beginning to find some form now. Pollyanna's Dream fetched 52,000 euro last year and must be respected for a stable firing in the winners of late.
TAKEONEDAYATATIME is very much bred for this job and is taken to make a winning start for Paul Nicholls. Katana and Just A Heartbeat are others who look the part on paper in a finale where the betting will be informative.
Their top yards would normally be good places to turn in races such as this, so Takeonedayatatime and KATANA head the list.

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.
