1st (10)  (50/1 +24%)Solid Fuel |
50/1(+24%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Solid Fuel 50/1, Doesn't appear to retain much ability. 3 lb out of the weights. Ended 2023 in poor form and was well beaten over hurdles last week after a break. |
|||
2nd (6)  (100/1 -4344%)Tonto Foley |
100/1(-4344%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tonto Foley 100/1, Hurdles winner last summer and confirmed chase debut promise under a positive ride back down in trip (jumped boldly) when successful at Taunton (2m, soft) in March. Followed up with a much-improved performance at Hereford last month and looks up to completing the hat-trick. Travelled strongly before asserting at Hereford last month and is now 2-3 over fences. |
|||
3rd (4)  (250/1 -4900%)Gambie Tiep |
250/1(-4900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Gambie Tiep 250/1, Four-time winner for this yard in 2023, the latest an all-the-way success at Bangor (17.3f, soft) in October. Not at his best next 3 starts but back on track returned to hurdles when fourth at Uttoxeter in April. Needs to build on that now back in this sphere. Won four times in 2023, and was seemingly back in good form over hurdles in April. |
|||
4th (2)  (250/1 -3746%)Finalshot |
250/1(-3746%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Finalshot 250/1, Back to winning ways in a first-time tongue tie (retained) when seeing off 8 rivals at Hexham (2m, good) in September. Just respectable third at Huntingdon following month and may need this on first run since. Off the mark over fences at Hexham in September but has fitness to prove after layoff. |
|||
5th (11)  (300/1 -809%)Lonimoss Bareliere |
300/1(-809%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Lonimoss Bareliere 300/1, Long-standing maiden who's no better than poor nowadays. 4 lb out of the weights. Out of form since the autumn and career strike-rate now stands at 0-34. |
|||
6th (7)  (400/1 -9900%)Tropical Talent |
400/1(-9900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Tropical Talent 400/1, Off the mark at the third time in this sphere when accounting for 10 rivals in a first-time tongue strap at Sedgefield (17f, good) last month, just holding on. Failed to complete through no fault of his own at Southwell since and he remains unexposed as a chaser. Held on for narrow win last month and was unlucky to come to grief on latest outing. |
|||
7th (1)  (350/1 -2088%)Blaze A Trail |
350/1(-2088%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Blaze A Trail 350/1, Rattled off a 5-timer over fences in 2022 and he ran well on the back of 7 months off when second of 5 in handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f). Ran badly at Fontwell next time but type to bounce back. Won five good-ground chases in 2022 but lightly raced and inconsistent since. |
|||
8th (8)  (66/1 -560%)Let It Shine |
66/1(-560%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Let It Shine 66/1, Made the frame a few times after venturing down the handicap route last year. Well backed but ran poorly starting out for this yard at Warwick on return so questions to answer fitted with headgear on chase bow. Flopped when well supported for stable debut; sports cheekpieces on this chasing debut. |
|||
9th (9)  (350/1 -3400%)Moves Like Monty |
350/1(-3400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Moves Like Monty 350/1, Irish point winner but hasn't cut much ice under Rules so far, going backwards from chasing bow at Market Rasen 12 days ago. Failed to build upon fairly encouraging chase/handicap debut when pulled up recently. |
|||
10th (5)  (80/1 -567%)Groom De Cotte |
80/1(-567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Groom De Cotte 80/1, Modest maiden handicap hurdler who fell at the fifth on his chase bow at Exeter 3 starts back. First run for yard after leaving Sean Curran. 0-12 over hurdles and fell in only previous chase; makes stable debut today. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (125/1 -1463%)Floating Rock |
125/1(-1463%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Floating Rock 125/1, Regular winner over the years but not the force of old. However, has tumbled in the weights and shaped encouragingly without landing a blow refitted with cheekpieces/tongue strap when third at Stratford and more than capable of making presence felt if building on that on belated return to fences. Not the force of old but was placed over hurdles in refitted headgear this month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TONTO FOLEY struck by just under four lengths in this grade at Hereford last month and he is only 7lb higher for that success. Christian Williams' six-year-old may only need to reproduce that level of form in order to complete the hat-trick, with his main danger possibly being Finalshot, who finished third in a class 4 event at Huntingdon in October last year and could have a say on his return. Tropical Talent is another to note.
TONTO FOLEY is improving in leaps and bounds as a chaser and can complete the hat-trick. Floating Rock made much more of an impact off his reduced mark at Stratford and is capable of making his presence felt again back in this sphere, while Tropical Talent had excuses last time and remains unexposed over fences.
Progressive 6yo TONTO FOLEY (nap) quickened well to fend off a strong challenge at Hereford last month and is now 2-3 over fences.

1st (3)  (6/1 -140%)Bob Bob Ricard |
6/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Bob Bob Ricard 6/1, Showed promise in bumpers and on his hurdles debut when second at Wetherby in October. Failed to build on that after but a totally different proposition sent chasing/handicapping when successful at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago. Up 5 lb but there should be more to come. On top close home on last month's Ffos Las chase/handicap debut (2m, good); stays further. |
|||
2nd (12)  (300/1 -2900%)Duke Of Luckley |
300/1(-2900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Duke Of Luckley 300/1, Prone to errors but doubled his chase tally at Southwell (20.4f, good) in April, with the runner-up scoring next time. Was closing when making a bad mistake 4 out at Newton Abbot on his latest outing, so he's capable if on a "going" day with visor back on. Southwell win franked by the second; long time since last run around a galloping track. |
|||
3rd (9)  (50/1 -733%)Cape Vidal |
50/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Cape Vidal 50/1, Didn't go on as hoped in bumpers after a winning debut but made second hurdles start a winning one at Fontwell in October. Disappointing effort at Fontwell last month but in good hands as he goes chasing. Effective over at least 2m3f and good ground over hurdles; likely to take to chasing. |
|||
4th (11)  (80/1 -1043%)Chess Player |
80/1(-1043%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Chess Player 80/1, Winner at Huntingdon and Stratford last summer. Freshened up after couple of below-par runs in the autumn and last month's return wasn't devoid of promise. Cheekpieces back on and he's one to consider. Made the podium on all four course visits in 2022; may need 2m3f-2m4f all the time now. |
|||
5th (10)  (350/1 -1650%)Pozo Emery |
350/1(-1650%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Pozo Emery 350/1, Got off the mark for his current yard in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Southwell last month. Not in quite the same form next time and lot depends on how he jumps back over fences (pulled up both previous starts). Southwell hurdle winner last month; this would be his easiest chasing assignment to date. |
|||
6th (4)  (250/1 -1686%)No No Maestro |
250/1(-1686%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) No No Maestro 250/1, Built up a good strike rate for this yard, gaining fourth success over fences at Uttoxeter a year ago. Ran badly on his return at Taunton in March and needed to see more at Chepstow a month later to seriously consider him. Back below a winning mark; will have to prove that 2m4f isn't too sharp a test nowadays. |
|||
7th (6)  (450/1 -1700%)Jony Max |
450/1(-1700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jony Max 450/1, Put a couple of poor efforts behind him when landing a 6-runner contest from the front at Fakenham (24.2f, soft) in November. Quickly back into his shell since and others more reliable. Scorer off today's mark at Fakenham in November (3m, good to soft); out of form since. |
|||
8th (5)  (350/1 -961%)Judge Earle |
350/1(-961%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Judge Earle 350/1, Back in the groove when landing handicap chases at Uttoxeter and this C&D in July. Ended 2023 in pretty tame fashion fitted in headgear, however, and little encouragement both starts this term. C&D chase scorer off 3lb lower last July (soft); has resumed in little form this term. |
|||
9th (1)  (300/1 -4186%)Le Cameleon |
300/1(-4186%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Le Cameleon 300/1, Multiple winner who hinted at a revival for his new yard after 5 months off/wind op when sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good) in April. Stepped up on that when third at Bangor and he's been eased a further 2 lb. Back on track with his Bangor third latest (2m4.5f, good to soft); eased 2lb more since. |
|||
10th (13)  (300/1 -1775%)You Say Nothing |
300/1(-1775%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) You Say Nothing 300/1, Scored at Ffos Las (2m) over a year ago and having dropped a fair way in the weights, he offered a lot more when fourth at Stratford 3 weeks ago. That now makes him of interest. Better again last time in spite of a late error; would appeal more over shorter with cut. |
|||
11th (7)  (350/1 -2817%)Barton Knoll |
350/1(-2817%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Barton Knoll 350/1, Has been given a chance by the handicapper (now 13 lb below last winning mark), but he's no battler and he may just need this on first start since October. Trip/ground are perfect and mark has never been lower; 245-day absence is a worry. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (150/1 -200%)Defan |
150/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Defan 150/1, Dual winner over fences for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland but no impact last year, tailed-off last on yard debut in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good) in October. Awful lot to prove on reappearance. Triple 2m-2m1f scorer in Ireland; less convincing over further; 58l last on stable debut. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (300/1 -8471%)Hardy Boy |
300/1(-8471%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hardy Boy 300/1, Won at Huntingdon around this time last year and held form pretty well thereafter for all his attitude and jumping is questionable. Visor back on and he's been eased 2 lb. Better than a 1-11 record over fences suggests; visor back on after last time's antics. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BOB BOB RICARD struck on his chase/handicap debut at Ffos Las on his latest outing and a 5lb rise could prove to be on the lenient side. The son of Bathyrhon remains in the same grade and should have no issues with going up in trip, so he can record a double. Le Cameleon was beaten into third at Bangor last time but could get closer off a 2lb lower mark and with Gavin Sheehan booked, while Chess Player rates best of the rest.
BOB BOB RICARD is built for chasing and he elevated his form at the first try over fences when successful at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago. With the promise of more to come, he's the one to be with, for all You Say Nothing lurks on a very dangerous mark at the foot of the weights having hinted at a revival last time. Chess Player is also considered with cheekpieces back on.
Assuming no repeat of last time's antics, HARDY BOY can record an overdue second chase success ahead of Bob Bob Ricard.

(5)  (100/1 -52%)As Good As Can Be |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) As Good As Can Be 100/1, €40,000 3-y-o, £5,000 4-y-o, Milan gelding. Dam unraced sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Bobs Worth and fairly useful 2m hurdler winner Chesterfieldavenue. Unplaced completed start in Irish points (Apr 28). Likely best watched on Rules debut. Completed only one of his three Irish points; best watched on rules debut. |
|||
1st (2)  (8/1 -33%)Holokea |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Holokea 8/1, £55,000 5-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam maiden pointer. Irish point winner himself, including last time (May 5) and market confidence behind him would look interesting for yard who are 2-7 with their bumper runners so far this term. Dual Irish point winner this spring before changing hands for £55,000; rules debut today. |
|||
2nd (4)  (10/1 -200%)All Well And Good |
10/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) All Well And Good 10/1, Mukhadram gelding. Dam 7f/1m winner. Pedigree suggests he will have the requisite speed for this sort of test and yard no stranger to success in this sphere. Respected. Out of a fair 7f/1m Flat winner; stable has very good record in bumpers. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/2 -57%)Elysian Knight |
11/2(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Elysian Knight 11/2, Champs Elysees gelding. Bred to stay well but he offered something to work on when third of 12 in bumper at Fontwell (17.7f, good, 5/1) on NH debut 34 days ago, pushed along home turn and plugging on. Can build on that. Stayed on for third on debut at Fontwell last month; may need a stiffer test than this. |
|||
4th (10)  (22/1 -175%)Theatre Of Flight |
22/1(-175%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Theatre Of Flight 22/1, Mukhadram gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler Nadaitak and modest 2m chase winner Alghazaal. Dam 1¼m winner. Yard boast a healthy strike rate in bumpers so far this term so strength behind him in the betting would look significant. Half-brother to some useful Flat winners; in good hands; interesting newcomer. |
|||
5th (3)  (14/1 -100%)Rocket Man |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Rocket Man 14/1, €82,000 3-y-o, Maxios gelding. Proved a disappointment relative to his SP when fourth of 6 on bumper debut at Warwick (2m) in May, caught out badly one the pace lifted before staying on gradually. Feasible to think he can take a step forward. Only fourth of six when favourite for recent debut; evidently thought capable of better. |
|||
6th (6)  (12/1 +25%)Confinentic |
12/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Confinentic 12/1, Clovis Du Berlais gelding. Dam, ran once on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser who became unreliable (stayed 25f) Problema Tic. Market should prove an informative guide on racecourse bow. Pedigree doesn't leap off the pace but stable does pretty well in bumpers. |
|||
7th (11)  (40/1 -21%)Warfleet |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Warfleet 40/1, Dartmouth gelding. Dam (h99), 2¾m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Billy No Name out of useful hurdle winner around 2m Just Little. Second foal from a dual 2m5f hurdle winner; stable not known for bumper winners. |
|||
8th (7)  (11/1 -57%)Everybodydancenow |
11/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Everybodydancenow 11/1, Passing Glance gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler Colin's Sister and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Colin's Brother. Stable’s first-timers usually supported. Half-brother to smart hurdler Colin's Sister; with a good stable; enters calculations. |
|||
9th (12)  (11/2 +21%)Noels Destiny Star |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Noels Destiny Star 11/2, €65,000 3-y-o, Blue Bresil mare. Half-sister to useful chaser Go On Chez and modest hurdler Belatrix Lestrange. Dam, bumper winner, out of half-sister to outstanding 2m chaser Azertyuiop and very smart French staying chaser Bipbap. Very much respected on debut. Half-sister to useful chaser Go On Chez; stable does well in bumpers; appeals on paper. |
|||
10th (8)  (4/1 +50%)Patch Man |
4/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Patch Man 4/1, Walk In The Park gelding. Failed to justify cramped odds when sixth of 7 in bumper at Southwell (15.8f, heavy) on NH debut 28 days ago, heavy ground a possible factor. Strength behind him in the betting shouldn't be forgotten though and he's worth another chance. Very disappointing odds-on favourite on debut biut ought to be capable of much better. |
|||
11th (9)  (300/1 -200%)Steel Soldier |
300/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Steel Soldier 300/1, £5,000 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Dare Me. Little impact in Irish points (latest outing May 12). Did not show a great deal in three Irish points this year; rules debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ELYSIAN KNIGHT showed a fair amount of ability when he finished third on his debut at Fontwell and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, he ought to go close. Everybodydancenow is related to plenty of winners and goes for the Nigel Twiston-Davies yard, so it will be interesting to see how he fares in the market on his first start, while any market confidence behind All Well And Good should be noted too.
PATCH MAN was all the rage in the betting (yard 4-11 in bumpers in last 5 seasons) but ultimately may have found the testing ground catching him out on bumper debut at Southwell 4 weeks ago. He's afforded another chance under Harry Cobden. Newcomer Noels Destiny Star is one to consider, with Rocket Man and Elysian Knight another pair worth a second look in a competitive affair.
Olly Murphy's newcomer ALL WELL AND GOOD has more speed in his pedigree than a few of these and might be the answer.

33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sea Prince 33/1, Opened his chase account at Stratford (17f) in summer 2022 but hasn't gone on from that effort since. After 7 months off (had gone well fresh in the past), unseated rider at the sixth at Southwell 15 days ago, though he's on a workable mark back over hurdles. Unseated rider in a recent chase, after a layoff; first hurdling start since June 2022. |
|||
2nd (7)  (10/3 +33%)Forget The Way |
10/3(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Forget The Way 10/3, Off the mark at this C&D last summer when trained by Alan King. After 5 months off, back on track when third at Huntingdon (19.6f) on stable debut, before let down by his jumping over fences last time. One to note returned to hurdling. C&D winner for Alan King last summer and placed at Huntingdon on last month's stable debut. |
|||
3rd (1)  (20/1 -167%)Hidalgo De L'isle |
20/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hidalgo De L'isle 20/1, Dual handicap winner at Bangor (both 16.7f) last year, with his latest success in May. Wasn't discredited after 4 months off when fourth at Wetherby (16f, good) when last seen in October and he can give his running again on his return (has had a wind op). Dual hurdle winner in 2023; not yet fully exposed but absent since October. |
|||
4th (8)  (5/1 -122%)Cawthorne Banker |
5/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Cawthorne Banker 5/1, Fairly useful bumper performer who has improved over hurdles since handicapping and fitted with cheekpieces, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts when scoring at Fontwell (17.7f, good) last month. Not taken lightly. 2-4 since fitted with cheekpieces and switched to handicaps; probably still on the upgrade. |
|||
5th (2)  (33/1 -408%)Galata Bridge |
33/1(-408%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Galata Bridge 33/1, As good as ever when winning at Uttoxeter (15.8) last May and placed at this course (20f) on his next 2 starts. After 9 months, badly hampered at the third when sixth of 15 at Kempton (16f, good) in April, so he's a major player with that run behind him. Ran quite well in April, after a layoff, and is now back on last winning mark; shortlisted. |
|||
6th (11)  (6/1 +50%)Addosh |
6/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Addosh 6/1, Long time without a win but shaped encouragingly off a career-low mark when third of 6 at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) in May. Failed to build on that effort at Warwick 9 days later, though she's not discounted with her yard amongst the winners. Twice made the frame last month but is not firing on all cylinders; others appeal more. |
|||
7th (9)  (200/1 -900%)Clear The Runway |
200/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Clear The Runway 200/1, Prolific winner over fences/hurdles back in 2022 but struggled for form largely campaigned over hurdles last season. However, he shaped a bit better when sixth of 9 at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) last month. Lurks on a dangerous mark with cheekpieces reapplied. Useful chaser in 2022 but has lost his way; cheekpieces refitted in bid to prompt revival. |
|||
8th (12)  (350/1 -2400%)Iolaos Du Mou |
350/1(-2400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Iolaos Du Mou 350/1, Bumper winner on debut and encouragement when runner-up on his first 2 completed starts over hurdles last season. However, he disappointed sent handicapping on his last 2 outings (had a wind op prior to the latest) and has since left Nicky Henderson. Sold out of Nicky Henderson's stable for £7,000 after disappointing in first two handicaps. |

9th (5)  (300/1 -2900%)Enki Flacke |
300/1(-2900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Enki Flacke 300/1, Much-improved hurdler in 2022/23 for Gordon Elliott, successful 3 times at Perth in maiden and 2 novices. After 18 months off, badly hampered at the first when mid-field in a Bangor handicap (16.7f, good) on his stable debut in May. This run should reveal more. Back from long absence with low-key run in May but that outing ought to have done him good. |
|||
10th (4)  (200/1 -203%)Ballywood |
200/1(-203%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ballywood 200/1, Useful chaser at best who went the wrong way in 2020/21, though shaped as if back in form when third in an Aintree handicap (19.9f) when last seen in May 2021. Lengthy absence to overcome back over hurdles on first run for yard after leaving Alan King. Very useful chaser in his prime but makes stable debut after 1,132-day absence. |
|||
11th (3)  (40/1 -100%)Cillians Charm |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Cillians Charm 40/1, Fairly useful form at best in Ireland, but after a 14-month absence off he made a discouraging start for his new yard when tailed off at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 2 weeks ago, possibly amiss. Others more persuasive at present. Ex-Irish 7yo; well beaten on recent stable debut but likely to get back on track soon. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A competitive contest that may go the way of HIDALGO DE L'ISLE, who has his first start following wind surgery. Fourth in a better race when last seen in October, he is lightly raced for a seven-year-old and may have even more to offer. Enki Flacke can only improve for his first start in 18 months at Bangor and has to be considered, but Forget The Way could be the bigger danger with the booking of Harry Cobden an eye-catching one.
GALATA BRIDGE did well under the circumstances when sixth at Kempton on his reappearance, left with a lot of ground to make up having been hampered early, so he is taken to build on that effort and return to winning ways. Cawthorne Banker has been going the right way in handicaps and is respected, with Forget The Way completing the shortlist.
He seems to have a few quirks but CAWTHORNE BANKER has made good progress since switched to handicaps and can win again.

(12)  (28/1 -100%)Frenelope |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Frenelope 28/1, €50,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune mare. Dam (h102), 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3m) Gold Present. Yard has had a couple of winning first-time-out hurdlers recently, so she's worth a market check. Second foal from a fair 2m3f hurdle winner; probably best watched on debut. |
|||
1st (6)  (1/4 +43%)Seeyouinmydreams |
1/4(+43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Seeyouinmydreams 1/4, Wide-margin point/bumper winner who, following another wind op and fitted with a hood, left her hurdles debut effort behind when essentially outclassing 7 rivals at Fakenham (20f, good) last month, unchallenged. The one to beat. Tends to race too freely but was a wide-margin winner at Fakenham last month; hard to beat. |
|||
2nd (10)  (18/1 -260%)Kintaro |
18/1(-260%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Kintaro 18/1, Maiden on the Flat whose form had been going the wrong way this year, but showed a bit tried hurdling at Hereford in May. Ran to a similar level when third in novice at Bangor (16.7f, good) 11 days ago, though he'll need to find more for win purposes. Belied 66-1 odds when third at Bangor recently; can collect another minor prize. |
|||
3rd (9)  (8/1 +20%)Double Oban |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Double Oban 8/1, Fair on the Flat at up to 14.5f for Hugo Palmer and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when fourth of 10 in novice at this C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago, making late headway. Open to improvement with his recent run behind him. Fair on the Flat; made underwhelming hurdle debut here last month but can do better. |
|||
4th (1)  (20/1 -67%)Bristol Hill |
20/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Bristol Hill 20/1, Modest winner on the Flat who showed some promise when third in maiden at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdling debut in May. Shaped similarly when fifth at Fakenham last time and he's one for the shortlist, despite his free-going nature. Regressive on the Flat but has launched his hurdling career with two very respectable runs. |
|||
5th (3)  (66/1 -164%)Ibiza Rocks |
66/1(-164%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ibiza Rocks 66/1, One-time useful performer on the level but modest at best nowadays, running below form in first-time visor when seventh of 13 in handicap at Chepstow (7.1f, heavy) last month. Has work to do tried over hurdles with headgear discarded. Has a basement mark on the Flat now and stamina is a possible issue over hurdles. |
|||
6th (11)  (450/1 -1264%)Solution |
450/1(-1264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Solution 450/1, Fairly useful handicapper on the Flat who showed some aptitude for hurdling when fourth in a maiden at Plumpton (15.9f, good to firm) in May. However, went backwards from that effort when well held at Southwell (20.4f, good) 8 days ago. Dual AW winner last year but has made an underwhelming start to his hurdling career. |
|||
7th (4)  (400/1 -1112%)Midnight Shimmer |
400/1(-1112%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Midnight Shimmer 400/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who fared little better in first-time cheekpieces when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) when last seen in April. Improvement required with headgear left off as he goes hurdling. Placed twice off basement marks on AW this year; still makes only limited appeal here. |
|||
8th (2)  (200/1 -100%)Dark Soldier |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dark Soldier 200/1, Maiden Irish pointer who went with little promise on his Rules debut when eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 6 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Well-beaten 50-1 shot over C&D on hurdling debut on Thursday. |
|||
9th (7)  (350/1 -2817%)Touchwoodexpress |
350/1(-2817%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Touchwoodexpress 350/1, Successful on sole outing in points and promise when placed in bumper at this course on Rules debut. Well held on his hurdling bow, but showed more when fourth in a Bangor novice (19.6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Remains capable of better. Placed in course bumper on rules debut but soundly beaten on both hurdling starts. |
|||
10th (5)  (450/1 -582%)Pennant Legacy |
450/1(-582%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Pennant Legacy 450/1, Wasn't seem to best effect on debut when ninth of 12 in bumper at this C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago, colliding with rail and shuffled back end of back straight. Still looks to be up against it as he starts off over hurdles. Beaten about 31l when 33-1 for course bumper on recent debut. |
|||
11th (8)  (300/1 -355%)Wonder King |
300/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Wonder King 300/1, Hinted at ability both starts in bumpers, making some late progress when seventh of 14 at Lingfield (16f, standard) in November. However, he looks to face a difficult ask as he goes hurdling after 7 months off. Second bumper run was better than the first but another big step forward is needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Kintaro showed improvement when third at Bangor on his second start over hurdles, but the four-year-old will need to do a lot more if he wants to come home in front and a place looks more realistic. Touchwoodexpress had the speed to finish a length third in a bumper here last September and looks interesting dropping back in trip over hurdles, but SEEYOUINMYDREAMS is hard to oppose. She made all to win by 25 lengths over further at Fakenham and may try the same tactics over this distance.
A useful winner in bumpers, SEEYOUINMYDREAMS got back on track making her second start over hurdles when comfortably landing the odds at Fakenham in May, so she looks to hold leading claims in her follow-up bid. Double Oban can take a step forward from his hurdling debut to pose the biggest threat, ahead of Bristol Hill.
Her tendency to race too freely remains a concern but SEEYOUINMYDREAMS ought to dominate this modest race from the front.

1st (5)  (11/10 +60%)Melton Mossy |
11/10(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Melton Mossy 11/10, Made a winning handicap debut over 2m at Ffos Las for Laura Horsfall 3 weeks ago. Did it readily and can continue on the upgrade for new trainer Evan Williams. Improved to win quite comfortably on recent handicap debut; now with new stable. |
|||
2nd (10)  (14/1 -75%)Ten Ten Twenty |
14/1(-75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Ten Ten Twenty 14/1, C&D winner. Also scored on AW Flat in April. Only seventh at Windsor since but is feasibly handicapped back hurdling. Very inconsistent since C&D novice win in summer 2022 but can't be ruled out. |
|||
3rd (11)  (66/1 -780%)Gorcombe Moonshine |
66/1(-780%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Gorcombe Moonshine 66/1, Several placed efforts in this sphere before making a winning chase debut at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Jumping became an issue over fences but he's reached the frame back hurdling the last twice. Winning chaser; twice in the frame since switched back to hurdling his season; in the mix. |
|||
4th (9)  (22/1 -10%)Invictus De Brion |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Invictus De Brion 22/1, Bumper winner but failed to translate that ability to hurdles in 2022/23, including pulling up in both handicaps. Too soon to write off in this sphere and worth a betting check back from 14 months off. Pulled up in first two handicaps and absent since April 2023. |
|||
5th (7)  (100/1 -733%)Pittsburg |
100/1(-733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pittsburg 100/1, Dual chaser winner last summer. Also scored on AW Flat in March but well held back jumping in recent weeks. Below form under all codes in recent weeks and needs to up his game. |
|||
6th (8)  (300/1 -809%)Razzo Italiano |
300/1(-809%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Razzo Italiano 300/1, Scored at Southwell in November 2022 but well held since, including on recent return from a 16-month absence at Cartmel. Well beaten in plating company last month, after a long absence; not the obvious answer. |
|||
7th (2)  (66/1 -2100%)Lucky Lover Boy |
66/1(-2100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lucky Lover Boy 66/1, Back to form to capitalise on a career-low mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good) 13 days ago. Retains handicapping scope after a 3 lb rise. Won off career-low mark this month and ought to remain competitive after 3lb rise. |
|||
8th (4)  (100/1 -1150%)Pour Me A Drink |
100/1(-1150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Pour Me A Drink 100/1, Hasn't offered enough on the Flat lately to fancy her chances on this handicap hurdle debut. Fair on the Flat; not seen over hurdles since 2020 but very unexposed in this sphere. |
|||
9th (1)  (100/1 -1718%)Johnny Boom |
100/1(-1718%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Johnny Boom 100/1, Reached the frame in a pair of Taunton handicap hurdles at the end of 2023. Off since a respectable effort on AW Flat in February. Tongue tied first time. Respected. 0-6 over hurdles but has good claims of judged on Taunton second in November. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (450/1 -2713%)Well Vicky |
450/1(-2713%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Well Vicky 450/1, Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23 but has found life tougher since, not showing enough in 2 comeback runs last month to fancy here. Tongue tie goes on. Generally disappointing since quick hat-trick in February 2023 but ran quite well in May. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MELTON MOSSY showed the benefits of recent wind surgery when winning Ffos Las last month and, given that Evan Williams' charge remains open to further improvement having joined the yard since that victory, a subsequent 5lb rise might not stop him today. Lucky Lover Boy struck at Uttoxeter last time out and he is a player off 3lb higher, while Gorcombe Moonshine appeals most of the remainder.
Recent Ffos Las handicap debut winner MELTON MOSSY could have more to come for new trainer Evan Williams and is taken to make light of a 5 lb rise. Lucky Lover Boy is still well treated on old form after a 3 lb rise for Uttoxeter and is second choice ahead of Johnny Boom.
Arguably fortunate to gone up just a 5lb rise for last month's quite stylish win, MELTON MOSSY is taken to follow up.

(4)  (8/1 +33%)Voodoo Doll |
8/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Voodoo Doll 8/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft). Off 19 months. Cheekpieces go back on but hard to know what he's capable of. 6-7 in points (ran out latest); five hurdles wins all came off higher marks than today's. |
|||
1st (1)  (13/2 -117%)Hillsin |
13/2(-117%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hillsin 13/2, Belatedly off the mark with a career-best effort in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f, soft, 9/2) 21 days ago, finding extra. Respected in the follow-up bid. Off the mark at Newton Abbot (2m3f, soft) latest; good ground fine, 5lb rise less so. |
|||
2nd (9)  (16/1 +52%)Carnet De Stage |
16/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Carnet De Stage 16/1, Poor ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who was only fourth in a novice at Stratford on debut for current yard a month ago. Tongue tied now but hard to know what he's capable of. Should find this easier than the novice hurdle of his stable debut; 1-43 under rules. |
|||
3rd (12)  (8/1 +20%)Emanate |
8/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Emanate 8/1, Course winner. 16/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 34 days ago. Should be suited by this step up in trip, so he's one to consider. Back on a winning mark, and will appreciate the return to Worcester; untried over 2m4f. |
|||
4th (8)  (8/1 +60%)No Way Pedro |
8/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) No Way Pedro 8/1, 3-3 in Britain for Brian Barr last summer over shorter (including here) but hasn't fired in the same way since joining this stable. Hat-trick last summer on good; modest 2024 so far, but 4lb below mark of last win (C&D). |
|||
5th (6)  (125/1 -3654%)Jaxonne |
125/1(-3654%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jaxonne 125/1, Landed a gamble at Ludlow (21.2f) at Ludlow in May and shaped as if still well handicapped when third of 6 at Southwell next time, not finding as much as seemed likely in testing conditions. Looks capable of getting back on the up returned to a sounder surface. Easy Ludlow winner last month (2m5f, good) but less impressive either side; up 6lb more. |
|||
6th (10)  (22/1 -83%)Into The Sunset |
22/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Into The Sunset 22/1, Dual winner in 2022. Missed 18 months and well held both completed starts at Newcastle this year. Unseated last time at Fakenham and others make more appeal. Dual winner in summer 2022 off up to 6lb higher; more compelling around sharper tracks. |
|||
7th (11)  (300/1 -3650%)Only Fools |
300/1(-3650%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Only Fools 300/1, Dual hurdle winner last season, latterly at Fontwell (19f, heavy) in March. Back on track when third at Hereford last time and can't be discounted. Mostly holding her form since March's win (2m3f, heavy); needs to find a little extra. |
|||
8th (7)  (66/1 +34%)Helios Allen |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Helios Allen 66/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Jane Williams. Long absence before tame return over C&D and arrives with something to prove. Won off 105 on slow ground in late 2021; regressive in 2022-23; beaten 44l latest (C&D). |
|||
9th (5)  (11/1 +45%)Hedera Park |
11/1(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hedera Park 11/1, Reached the frame 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles before improving to make a winning handicap debut here in September. Not in same form next time and may need this return. C&D scorer off 9lb lower last September (good); unseen since flop the following month. |
|||
10th (3)  (400/1 -11329%)Socialist Agenda |
400/1(-11329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Socialist Agenda 400/1, Struggled in this sphere last season but he's potentially thrown in as a consequence and he was successful on the Flat at Chelmsford 48 days ago, so he's not one to rule out. 1m6f/2m Flat winner latterly; hurdles winner off up to 19lb higher in the past; player. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (66/1 -725%)Dasher |
66/1(-725%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Dasher 66/1, Showed plenty when placed in a pair of bumpers and stepped up on previous hurdling form when fifth in a handicap at Uttoxeter last time. Still unexposed in this sphere and not without hope. 2m7f looked too far at this stage on last month's handicap debut; remains of interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HILLSIN was no match for an improver at Exeter in April, but Alan Jones' six-year-old made no mistake when going one place better at Newton Abbot three weeks ago. A 5lb rise looks well within range and he is taken to follow up. Soft ground could offer an excuse for Jaxonne's lack of finishing effort at Southwell last time, having travelled strongly into contention, so he's a worthy candidate now back on a sounder surface. Socialist Agenda completed a double on the Flat recently and is of interest returned to hurdles.
JAXONNE was impressive when opening his account on his penultimate start and he's likely to get back on the up away from very testing ground, so he takes preference over Hillsin, who belatedly opened his account at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago. Socialist Agenda is another player having won on the Flat last month.
6-6 in Welsh points until a blip last time, VOODOO DOLL is taken ahead of Socialist Agenda, another on a career-low hurdles mark.

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.
