Races & Results Thursday 26th December 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Bluey 3/1, Point winner who made all only start in bumpers at Plumpton (17.7f) in April and back from 7 months off, offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in mares' novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f) 26 days ago. Expected to build on that. Point/bumper winner; shaped well when fourth on hurdle debut; each-way claims at least.
6
2nd (6) (5/2 +9%) Jena D'oudairies
2.5
5/2(+9%)
(6) Jena D'oudairies 5/2, Nicely-bred mare who matched previous best when making third start in bumpers a winning one at Taunton (16.5f) in April, leading final 100 yds. Good prospect now hurdling/following wind surgery for her leading stable. Won soft-ground Taunton bumper in April; good prospect for novice hurdles.
1
3rd (1) (7/4 -25%) Walkadina
1.75
7/4(-25%)
(1) Walkadina 7/4, Runner-up both starts in bumpers during the spring and perfect start in this sphere when winning 8-runner mares' maiden at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in November. Gave best only late on when fourth in Newbury listed contest 26 days ago and she's a player back in calmer waters. Fourth in Listed race since 13l win on hurdling debut; obvious contender.
2
4th (2) (17/2 -70%) Blazeon Five
8.5
17/2(-70%)
(2) Blazeon Five 17/2, 6-y-o mare who developed into a useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m) bagging second success of 2023 at Ascot (2m) in July. Related to hurdle winners and feasible to think she can make her mark in this sphere now starting out for Alan King. Fairly useful stayer on the Flat for Roger Teal; now with Alan King for hurdling career.
4
5th (4) (20/1 -11%) Everest
20
20/1(-11%)
(4) Everest 20/1, Ran to a fair level when second on debut in a Southwell bumper (15.8f) in June. Struggled to make an impact in stronger company at Cheltenham in 2 starts following a break and she's one to note in the betting now attentions switch to hurdling. Second on bumper debut in June but limitations have been exposed in stronger bumpers since.
11
6th (11) (33/1 +18%) Solid Silver
33
33/1(+18%)
(11) Solid Silver 33/1, Fair bumper performer who showed similar form on the Flat without winning for Sir Mark Prescott. Not real short-term promise to glean from her yard/hurdles debut fifth in a Lingfield mares' maiden 4 weeks ago and others more appealing here. Has claims if judged on bumper/Flat form but last month's hurdling debut was disappointing.
5
7th (5) (17/2 -6%) Hello Cello
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(5) Hello Cello 17/2, Promise in a couple of bumpers 6 months apart and encouraging start in this sphere when second of 7 in a C&D mares' maiden 5 weeks ago, sticking on well. Looks sure to progress. No match for winner when second over C&D on hurdle debut and this race is much deeper..
10
8th (10) (125/1 -25%) Northern Symphonie
125
125/1(-25%)
(10) Northern Symphonie 125/1, Solid start when second in a bumper at Newbury this time last year but well held both starts thereafter in that discipline. Too free starting out for new yard when eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Exeter (16.7f, heavy) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Hood goes on now. Well beaten after racing too freely stable/hurdle debut; now hooded.
8
9th (8) (33/1 -32%) Loud And Proud
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Loud And Proud 33/1, Shirocco mare. Placed on her 2 last starts in points but low-key start on Rules debut for new yard when sixth of 7 in a C&D mares' maiden 5 weeks ago. Possible she'll be brought along with handicaps in mind. Placed in two Irish points in the spring but tailed off over C&D on hurdling debut.
9
10th (9) (150/1 -200%) Lusso Milan
150
150/1(-200%)
(9) Lusso Milan 150/1, Encouraging start when runner-up in bumper at Plumpton a year ago but below that level next time and she's not threatened either start in mares' novice hurdles this winter. Could be more of a handicap project. Made the frame in both bumpers but safely held this season in her two hurdle races.
7
|PU| (7) (250/1 -150%) Kingston Joy
250
250/1(-150%)
(7) Kingston Joy 250/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who never figured on yard/hurdles debut in an Exeter novice (16.7f) 7 weeks ago, left behind in back straight. Can only be watched on the back of that. Struggled when 66-1 for three-runner Exeter novice on hurdle debut last month.
12:53 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
WALKADINA made the perfect start over hurdles at Uttoxeter before backing that performance up with a solid fourth in Listed company at Newbury. Despite giving 7lb to all of her rivals, this appears to be a suitable opportunity for David Pipe's mare before potentially stepping back up in grade. Jena D'oudairies won a Taunton bumper in the spring and is respected following wind surgery, while Blazeon Five was a useful performer on the level and would be very much of interest if transferring that ability to hurdling.
Easy Uttoxeter scorer WALKADINA was far from disgraced when fourth in listed company at Newbury 26 days ago and, returned to calmer waters, she's fancied to make a bold bid to concede weight all round. Jena D'oudairies and Blazeon Five are a couple of interesting hurdling debutantes to consider, with Hello Cello another likely improver.
Uttoxeter winner WALKADINA drops in grade after a good fourth in a Newbury Listed race last month and sets a pretty good form standard.
(4) Another Day Out 3/1, Refitted with a hood (refused to race previous run) when back to winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 31 days ago. Needs to back it up now with headgear again sported. Refused to race on penultimate outing but dominated from the front a week later.
2
2nd (2) (9/2 -13%) Mighty Moth
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(2) Mighty Moth 9/2, Fair 2m winner over hurdles but she unseated her rider at the first in handicap chase at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft) on her debut over fences 45 days ago. Worth another chance. Didn't get far on recent chasing debut but looked quite promising over hurdles last season.
3
3rd (3) (11/4 +45%) Sainte Doctor
2.75
11/4(+45%)
(3) Sainte Doctor 11/4, Scored at Chepstow and Ludlow in April, 2023. Off 18 months and better effort on return when a creditable fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 23 days ago. May do better still so she's a likely player. Ended last season with two wins but has not fired on either appearance this term.
1
4th (1) (85/40 +15%) Endless Escape
2.125
85/40(+15%)
(1) Endless Escape 85/40, Four-time hurdle winner who underwhelmed over fences at the start of last season. Only tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft) 12 days ago so has a bit to prove back chasing. Useful handicap hurdler; not yet fully convincing over fences but on a tempting mark.
5
|PU| (5) (14/1 -87%) Ma Belle Noire
14
14/1(-87%)
(5) Ma Belle Noire 14/1, Tail flasher but won 3 times over hurdles in 2023. Failed to match that form sent chasing at Hereford in May and pulled up returned to hurdling at Ascot last month. Back over fences with more needed. Triple hurdle winner; disappointed on chasing debut but not one to give up on just yet.
13:28 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
There are clearly risks attached with ANOTHER DAY OUT, who refused to race at Leicester before producing an excellent round of jumping to score at Ludlow the following week. A replication of that performance after a 6lb rise would make the six-year-old tough to stop. Mighty Moth got no further than the first on her chasing bow at Kempton but is worth another chance, while Sainte Doctor is only 1lb higher than for her most recent win.
None of the quintet can be ruled out but the vote goes to SAINTE DOCTOR who is fancied to build on her recent Southwell fifth and capitalise on an easing mark. Mighty Moth is worth forgiving her early mishap at Kempton and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Ma Belle Noire and Another Day Out.
She has yet fully to convince over fences but ENDLESS ESCAPE has a touch of class about her and might exploit a favourable mark here.
(1) Ioupy Collonges 5/2, Dual hurdles scorer who got off the mark in this sphere at Perth (20f) in April. Resumed from 7 months off with a solid second of 3 in handicap chase at Doncaster (24f, good) 27 days ago. Can go well off the same mark. Ran game race in defeat on seasonal debut and is still unexposed over fences.
3
2nd (3) (10/3 +17%) Stans The Man
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(3) Stans The Man 10/3, Blinkered and arrives on a hat-trick after handicap chase successes at Exeter (3m) and Doncaster (26f) last month. Up another 3 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. 2-2 since blinkers were added last month; up in grade today but still taken very seriously.
2
3rd (2) (15/2 -88%) Passing Well
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(2) Passing Well 15/2, Arrives in good nick, runner-up in 3m handicap chase at Sandown 20 days ago. In the mix once more off an unchanged mark with cheekpieces now added. Second twice at Sandown this season (2m4f/3m); major player if aided by cheekpieces today.
5
4th (5) (15/2 +25%) Whydah Gally
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(5) Whydah Gally 15/2, Hit the target twice in handicaps chases at Lingfield last season but yet to hit top form this term, coming in a well-held fifth in 30f Exeter handicap 20 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Placed in Fontwell marathon last month but tailed off since; too inconsistent to rely upon.
4
|PU| (4) (7/4 +22%) Vision De Maine
1.75
7/4(+22%)
(4) Vision De Maine 7/4, Irish point winner who has made an excellent start (at around 3m) in this sphere, scoring at Uttoxeter and Lingfield before an excellent second of 8 back at Lingfield four weeks ago. That form has been franked so he's a big player. Has made excellent start to chasing career and probably still improving; highly respected.
14:03 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
IOUPY COLLONGES is expected to have benefited from a recent outing at Doncaster, with the six-year-old remaining open to significant improvement as a staying chaser. He missed a good deal of last season due to a heart issue when pulled up at Chepstow before capping it off with a victory at Perth. He gets the vote at the expense of the hat-trick seeking Stans The Man, who only went up 3lb for his Doncaster success in November. Vision De Maine may also have more to offer on only his fourth start over fences.
VISION DE MAINE has started life really well over fences and is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his excellent Lingfield second (winner gone in again). Doncaster runner-up Ioupy Collonges should ensure David Pipe's upwardly-mobile 5-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though ahead of Passing Well and Stans The Man.
Fast-improving 5yo VISION DE MAINE (nap) is taken to win his third chase of the season. Passing Well is feared most.
(3) Thomas Mor 12/1, Lightly-raced sort but he made up into a useful hurdler in 2022/23, scoring 3 times for David Pipe. Off 21 months but still can't be discounted for his in-form new yard who have a good record in this. Three out of five in his only season hurdling; absent 650 days and has left David Pipe.
8
2nd (8) (7/2 +81%) Dartmoor Pirate
3.5
7/2(+81%)
(8) Dartmoor Pirate 7/2, Course winner who beat only one on his chasing debut in handicap chase at Exeter (17.5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Possibilities back hurdling though and also stepped up in trip. Fourth in 2m4f EBF Final at Sandown; back hurdling today and the new trip is interesting.
7
3rd (7) (9/1 -50%) Lord Accord
9
9/1(-50%)
(7) Lord Accord 9/1, A fairly useful hurdles/chase winner this autumn and he arrives on the back of a solid second of 10 in handicap chase here (25.1f, good) 47 days ago. Much respected back in this sphere. Second in the Badger Beer here latest; back hurdling off what remains a competitive mark.
6
4th (6) (11/4 +0%) Long Draw
2.75
11/4(+0%)
(6) Long Draw 11/4, Resumed his progress with a deserved win in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Up 7 lb but he merits serious consideration once again. Won by 5l with waiting tactics at Cheltenham (upped to 3m, good to soft) latest; up 7lb.
5
5th (5) (7/1 +42%) Largy Poet
7
7/1(+42%)
(5) Largy Poet 7/1, Course winner who looked rusty after 6 months off when only sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Can take a step forward now and enters calculations with few miles still on the clock. Disappointing four weeks ago on reappearance but it's much too early to dismiss him.
2
6th (2) (22/1 -83%) Gelino Bello
22
22/1(-83%)
(2) Gelino Bello 22/1, Smart form when winning 2 novice chases at the end of 2022 but not seen since pulling up in the Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham in January 2023. Has had wind surgery. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations given the length of absence. Had a minor tendon strain and he's been off 698 days, also given wind surgery this July.
11
7th (11) (16/1 +11%) Rivers Corner
16
16/1(+11%)
(11) Rivers Corner 16/1, Improver last season, winning a pair of 3m handicaps in February, and even better form when narrowly denied at Exeter in April. However, ran out at the seventh on his return at Doncaster last month. Well worth another chance, despite being 11 lb out of the handicap. Ducked out on return; position 11lb out of handicap is nevertheless the chief concern.
10
8th (10) (40/1 -150%) First Lord De Cuet
40
40/1(-150%)
(10) First Lord De Cuet 40/1, Course winner who returned with a below-par fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (24f, soft) 35 days ago. It's now 16 runs since his last success in 2021. 0-15 chasing, beaten 32l on return; back hurdling (first since 2021) on dangerous mark.
4
|PU| (4) (8/1 -23%) Ike Sport
8
8/1(-23%)
(4) Ike Sport 8/1, Developed into a useful hurdler last season, winning 3 times at around 20f. Unsuccessfully tried chasing but not disgraced back over the smaller obstacles when fifth at Sandown (23f) 19 days ago. Considered. Fell on second chase start (ran creditably first time) and tailed off over hurdles latest.
1
|PU| (1) (11/2 +31%) Stay Away Fay
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(1) Stay Away Fay 11/2, Won Albert Bartlett in 2023. Better still over fences last term, winning twice, but he was pulled up on his final two runs at Cheltenham and Ayr. Still can't be discounted returning over hurdles here after breathing surgery. Top chases last two starts saw him scope dirty and then have a respiratory issue; wind op.
14:38 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
A step up in trip did the trick for recent 3m Cheltenham scorer LONG DRAW and he appears capable of more over staying distances. A 7lb rise in the ratings looks workable for Olly Murphy's progressive gelding and a third triumph over hurdles could be on the cards. Lord Accord arrives on the back of a fine second in the Badger Beer at Wincanton and he isn't taken lightly reverting to timber. Champion Flat jockey Oisin Murphy catches the eye on board Ike Sport.
This could go the way of Olly Murphy's reliable LONG DRAW, who is taken to defy a 7 lb rise for his recent Cheltenham success. Lord Accord has been in winning form over both hurdles and fences this term and is next on the list, although the returning trio Firestream, Thomas Mor and Stay Away Fay all warrant respect too in a very open contest.
Stay Away Fay is a big-name entry, while Long Draw and Lord Accord are running well. DARTMOOR PIRATE is also interesting.
(5) Pedley Wood 7/1, Started last season over fences with a bang, winning at Hereford and Taunton. Resumed with a solid fifth in 3m Ffos Las handicap chase last month so he's in the mix eased 2 lb. Won twice over fences last season (3m1f/3m2f); today's drop back in trip raises a query.
2
2nd (2) (85/40 -6%) King Arise
2.125
85/40(-6%)
(2) King Arise 85/40, Won sole point and has started out really well over fences, easily taking 9-runner handicap chase over C&D (soft) 9 days ago. Still unexposed and a player under a 7 lb penalty. Drew clear to win comfortably by 11l over C&D last week; commands respect under penalty.
4
3rd (4) (5/2 -11%) Paddy In The Caddy
2.5
5/2(-11%)
(4) Paddy In The Caddy 5/2, Has advanced his form switched to fences this winter, making all at Warwick and Hereford. Posted an excellent neck second of 8 in 2m Hereford handicap 5 days ago. Leading claims off an unchanged mark. In very good form over 2m lately and this move back up in trip won't be a problem.
7
4th (7) (8/1 +11%) Hatos
8
8/1(+11%)
(7) Hatos 8/1, Course winner who got back on track retried in headgear when third of 6 in 2m handicap chase here 35 days ago. Back up in trip and in the picture again. Seemingly perked up by cheekpieces when third here last month; still on good mark.
8
5th (8) (40/1 -60%) Bring The Action
40
40/1(-60%)
(8) Bring The Action 40/1, Had wind op/blinkered when resuming winning ways at Hereford (21f) in April. However, well held both starts since so something to prove after 6 months off. Won in first-time blinkers in April but two poor runs followed; back from a break.
3
6th (3) (11/2 -10%) Bentley's Return
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(3) Bentley's Return 11/2, Low-mileage hurdler who made an encouraging start in this sphere when second of 6 in handicap at Plumpton (19.8f, soft) 24 days ago. Should have more to offer. Considered. Low-mileage 6yo who ran well in defeat on recent seasonal/chase debut; shortlisted.
1
|PU| (1) (11/1 +31%) Bonza Boy
11
11/1(+31%)
(1) Bonza Boy 11/1, A dual 19f chase winner last term. Looked rusty after 7 months off when tenth of 13 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Can take a step forward so he's no forlorn hope. Made low-key reappearance over 3m but ended last season in good form over 2m3f.
6
|PU| (6) (18/1 +0%) Doyen For Money
18
18/1(+0%)
(6) Doyen For Money 18/1, A fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Off a year before pulled up in handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) on his debut over fences 41 days ago. Lots more is required. Dual hurdle winner (once here) but lacked fluency and was pulled up on chasing debut.
15:13 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Winning pointer KING ARISE has proven far more competitive since debuting over fences with a second-placed effort at Ayr last month. The seven-year-old ran out an easy winner over C&D last week and a 7lb penalty may not be enough to prevent him from completing a quickfire double. Paddy In The Caddy races off the same mark as his recent close-up second at Hereford and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Bentley's Return.
A few with chances but PADDY IN THE CADDY can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent second at Hereford so edges the vote from easy C&D scorer King Arise who rates a major threat under a 7 lb penalty. Bentley's Return can also have a say if, as expected, building on his encouraging Plumpton second with Joe Tizzard's pair Pedley Wood and Hatos in the mix too.
It's hard to get away from KING ARISE, who was a wide-margin C&D winner nine days ago and still looks well treated under a penalty.
(12) Ugo Bingo 10/1, Stepped up in trip and duly showed improved form to get off the mark over hurdles at Taunton (19f) in November. Unseated at sixth in follow-up bid at that venue (23.9f) 2 weeks back and he takes a marked step back in trip now. Battled on well to open account at Taunton (2m3f) last month; not yet fully exposed.
5
2nd (5) (4/1 +67%) Double Dragon
4
4/1(+67%)
(5) Double Dragon 4/1, Stepped up on hurdle debut third when taking a 2m Ffos Las maiden (good) in May. 11/1, may of needed the run after 6 months off when fourth of 9 on C&D handicap hurdle debut 3 weeks ago and he remains unexposed. Fair fourth over C&D on handicap debut; may fare better on the less testing ground today.
4
3rd (4) (6/1 +14%) Sunninghill
6
6/1(+14%)
(4) Sunninghill 6/1, Fair form in light Flat campaign and similar form over hurdles, best effort yet when runner-up on handicap debut at Exeter (16.7f) 3 weeks ago. Stamina run dry having briefly looked a threat when fifth of 9 in a C&D handicap 21 days ago and he remains of interest from this mark. Good second on last month's handicap debut; had excuse of soft ground on latest outing.
10
4th (10) (33/1 -136%) Ellerton
33
33/1(-136%)
(10) Ellerton 33/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 1¾m) and went close without winning over hurdles for Syd Hosie. Excuses on account of the ground starting out for new yard/after 5 months off when last of 6 in handicap hurdle at Sandown (2m, soft) 20 days ago and he's not one to write off. Made disappointing stable debut this month and is now 0-8 over hurdles.
9
5th (9) (8/1 +20%) John Betjeman
8
8/1(+20%)
(9) John Betjeman 8/1, Comes here on a long losing run but with usual blinkers discarded, ran best race for some time when third of 9 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, soft) 16 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that now. Below best this season but now 17lb lower than when placed in this race last year.
6
6th (6) (33/1 -106%) Voix De Bocelli
33
33/1(-106%)
(6) Voix De Bocelli 33/1, Fair form in France for Francois Nicolle but boasts a mixed record under various codes for present stable. Needs to step up again making handicap hurdle debut. 66-1 fourth in Plumpton maiden this month; probably needs to better that effort.
13
7th (13) (5/1 +64%) Penna Rossa
5
5/1(+64%)
(13) Penna Rossa 5/1, Not won since 2022 but promising first effort for new yard when runner-up at Exeter in November. Exploits mixed since however, finishing only ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft, 4/1) 5 days ago. Second over C&D last month but needs to rebound quickly from heavy defeat on Saturday.
1
8th (1) (13/2 -8%) Walk On High
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(1) Walk On High 13/2, 7-y-o who hasn't stood much racing posted his best effort yet when second of 8 on C&D handicap debut 9 days ago, without looking the easiest of rides. Still, likely he can feature with a repeat. Needs to learn to settle better but was placed over C&D on recent handicap debut.
7
9th (7) (40/1 -150%) Golden Dove
40
40/1(-150%)
(7) Golden Dove 40/1, Fair on the Flat (stays 1½m) and promise on second of 3 starts in maiden/novice hurdles at Kempton (2m) last month. Never figured in a C&D maiden 5 weeks ago but this switch to handicaps in her favour now. Launched hurdle career with two fairly encouraging runs but tailed off over C&D since.
15
10th (15) (28/1 +0%) Prince Rhinegold
28
28/1(+0%)
(15) Prince Rhinegold 28/1, Exeter novice winner (16.7f) early last year who dispelled several lesser displays after 6 months off when third of 7 in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago. Whether he'll be in the same form here though is questionable, operating from 8 lb out of the weights. 66-1 third over C&D last month but effectively 9lb higher today from out of the weights.
3
11th (3) (18/1 -227%) Lumi Plugin
18
18/1(-227%)
(3) Lumi Plugin 18/1, Showed ability in bumpers and built on debut promise in this sphere when again finding only one too good in a Fontwell maiden (21.7f) 7 months ago, likely to have gone very close without a bad mistake 2 out. Remains unexposed and likely there's better to come now handicapping. Second on both hurdling starts (2m3f/2m5f); makes handicap debut after 232-day absence.
8
12th (8) (22/1 +12%) Afta Party
22
22/1(+12%)
(8) Afta Party 22/1, Returned to winning ways at Worcester (2m) in July. However, below form in both codes since, left behind approaching the last when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 9 days ago. Others stronger. Largely disappointing since his summer win at Worcester; others preferred.
11
13th (11) (66/1 -450%) Doyen Magic
66
66/1(-450%)
(11) Doyen Magic 66/1, Down the field sole start in bumpers and only modest form at best so far over hurdles. Checked out quickly when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) on yard debut 29 days ago and she needs to step up a good deal on that. Towards rear throughout on stable debut; needs a more dynamic performance here.
2
|PU| (2) (11/1 -83%) Byzantium
11
11/1(-83%)
(2) Byzantium 11/1, Won on his only Flat start in France in autumn 2023 and fair form at best in trio of hurdle runs for present yard. Too free on qualifying run when fourth at Taunton 2 weeks ago but application of a hood/tongue tie can help and considered on handicap bow. Below form after refusing to settle last time but still has potential; hood fitted today.
14
|PU| (14) (14/1 0%) Ryder's Rock

(14) Ryder's Rock 14/1, Newton Abbot winner in September and bounced back to her best with blinkers refitted when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft, 15/2) 24 days ago. Each way possibilities back down in trip. Ran quite well at Plumpton this month but has modest strike-rate and is 1lb wrong today.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Walk On High made a promising handicap bow when a never-nearer second over C&D last week and must enter the reckoning off an unchanged mark. However, it could be worth taking a punt on DOUBLE DRAGON building on his fourth-placed reappearance over track and trip. Anthony Honeyball's charge may have found softer ground conditions against him that day and can resume last spring's progression. Lumi Plugin and Byzantium are also noted.
SUNNINGHILL shaped much better than the bare result before testing conditions seemed to find him out when fifth in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Appealing as being on a handy mark, a return to this sounder surface is firmly in his favour and he's given the narrow vote to confirm earlier promise. Byzantium, on handicap debut and Walk On High are a couple of the likelier threats, with Lumi Plugin and Ellerton a couple of others making appeal.
Ffos Las maiden winner DOUBLE DRAGON may not have been ideally suited by the soft ground when fourth here this month and can improve.

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.

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.
