---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (2.75/1 +0%) Mole Court |
2.75/1(+0%) | (3) Mole Court 2.75/1, Fortunate when off the mark in handicap hurdle at Hereford (21.7f) in February, but shaped as if still in good form when third at Southwell next time. Again ran well when second over C&D on chasing debut last month, and can go one better with cheekpieces now applied. Encouraging start over fences with C&D 2nd; ought to be in the shake-up off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (12/1 +25%) If I Say |
12/1(+25%) | (6) If I Say 12/1, Off the mark in handicap hurdle here (20f) in September but below that level in 3 subsequent starts last season, including on chasing debut at Huntingdon on Boxing Day. Possibly needed the run after 5 months off last time, but has a bit to prove back over fences. Went with little promise on chasing debut at Huntingdon in December; something to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (2.75/1 +39%) Sinister Minister |
2.75/1(+39%) | (5) Sinister Minister 2.75/1, Proved that he retains his ability when runner-up over hurdles at this course in October last year. Ran poorly on his next 2 starts, but back on track sent chasing (in first-time cheekpieces) when second at this C&D 12 days ago. Merits consideration. Back on track on chasing debut when C&D 2nd 12 days ago; he needs to back it up now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4.5/1 -50%) Callisto's King |
4.5/1(-50%) | (1) Callisto's King 4.5/1, Ran best race over hurdles when runner-up in handicap at Taunton (2m3f) in November. After 5 months off, again shaped well when fourth at Exeter in April, but only third of 6 at Southwell (24.3f) a month later. Could have more to offer as he switches to chasing. Consistent hurdler, third at Stratford latest; interesting chasing debutant for top yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (22/1 -10%) Mawlood |
22/1(-10%) | (9) Mawlood 22/1, Dual hurdles winner but failed to progress over fences for Phil Middleton. Produced best effort for current yard when third of 7 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f) 17 days ago, but others still preferred as he goes back up in trip. Best run for current yard when third at Huntingdon 17 days ago; he needs to back it up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (28/1 -133%) Ocean's Of Money |
28/1(-133%) | (8) Ocean's Of Money 28/1, Showed some ability in a pair of maiden hurdles for Miss Elizabeth Doyle in March 2021. Didn't show much over hurdles for current yard, but some encouragement on chasing debut when third of 6 at Ffos Las (19.4f) in April. Task is now to build on her latest effort. Third on chasing debut in Ffos Las handicap in April; considered off a 3lb lower mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (22/1 -120%) Shot Tower |
22/1(-120%) | (2) Shot Tower 22/1, On his third start over hurdles, showed a bit more than previously when sixth of 12 in novice at Newton Abbot (16.8f) last month. Had placed on the final 2 of his 3 starts in points, so could do better again now making his chase/handicap debut. Yet to offer much in three hurdle runs; switch to chasing needs to spark improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (4/1 +33%) Ironhill |
4/1(+33%) | (7) Ironhill 4/1, Made winning start for Alastair Ralph in bumper at this course last summer, but failed to go on from that effort sent hurdling. However, made more of an impact when runner-up at Hereford (2m) on chasing debut when last seen in January. Back up in trip for his stable debut. Chasing debut 2nd at Hereford on final run for Alastair Ralph; not ruled out for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (33/1 -32%) Old Page |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Old Page 33/1, Won his completed start in Irish points but remains with little form under Rules, behind when pulled up in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f) 19 days ago. First-time cheekpieces/drop back in trip not enough to tempt. Pulled up in 3m1f Cartmel handicap 19 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (33/1 -32%) Kalyptra |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Kalyptra 33/1, On his fifth trainer in 7 career starts, having left Colin Tizzard, offered little after 11 months off when pulled up in handicap hurdles at Taunton in March. Now goes chasing on first run for yard after leaving Syd Hosie. Others more persuasive. Pulled up on sole run for Syd Hosie at Taunton; lots more needed on chasing/yard debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The first-time cheekpieces for MOLE COURT could be instrumental in the gelding breaking his duck over fences at only the second time of asking. He was a respectable second over C&D 29 days ago and, assuming the headgear prompts deeper concentration at the obstacles, a more accomplished round of jumping can be expected. Callisto's King is noted ruled out on his chasing debut, while Ironhill, who won a bumper here last summer, may also go well.
MOLE COURT has been holding his form well, placing again on his chasing debut at this C&D last month, and he can build on that with cheekpieces now added to gain a first success over fences. He is taken to get the better of Callisto's King, who could have more to offer sent chasing, with Sinister Minister completing the shortlist.
This looks a very good opportunity for Dan Skelton's fair and consistent hurdler CALLISTO'S KING to make a winning start over fences.

1st (9) (10/1 +38%) Guttural |
10/1(+38%) | (9) Guttural 10/1, Point winner in April 2021 and though he's 0-19 under Rules, he showed his first form in long time when third of 8 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (19.9f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Remains to be seen whether he can back that up. Long-standing maiden but creditable third at Huntingdon 23 days ago; needs to back it up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (6/1 -33%) Zoran |
6/1(-33%) | (4) Zoran 6/1, Creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Newton Abbot (18.5f, good) 15 days ago. Not particularly bred for chasing but looks on reasonable mark if taking to it. Creditable third in Newton Abbot h'cap hurdle 15 days ago; much respected now chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7.5/1 +6%) Blackjacktennessee |
7.5/1(+6%) | (8) Blackjacktennessee 7.5/1, Long-standing maiden but shaped as if retaining some ability on return to Rules (also debut for this yard) when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Place claims. 0-21 but not discredited on yard debut when 4th at Ffos Las 24 days ago; no forlorn hope. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (14/1 -115%) The Eminent Goose |
14/1(-115%) | (1) The Eminent Goose 14/1, Placed in a point and appeals as the type to make a chaser, though played up beforehand and proved far too free on her debut over fences at Stratford (19.4f, good) 25 days ago. Professional rider on now and ought to have a future in this sphere. Too free under inexperienced claimer on chasing debut at Uttoxeter; can do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (5.5/1 -10%) Sir Jack West |
5.5/1(-10%) | (3) Sir Jack West 5.5/1, Much improved from chase debut when winning over C&D in May. Shaped well for the majority of the contest when third of 9 in another C&D event last time but again finished worrying weakly, so cause for concern remains. C&D winner; not disgraced when third back here 12 days ago; one for the shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (1.62/1 +7%) Harry The Norseman |
1.62/1(+7%) | (10) Harry The Norseman 1.62/1, Came home well clear at Uttoxeter (20.9f, good to soft) 26 days ago before losing the race in the stewards' room having drifted off the chase course in the straight. Able to race off same mark here so holds obvious claims if able to reproduce that form. Came home first at Uttoxeter latest but demoted for taking wrong course; leading claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (6.5/1 +59%) Dom Bosco |
6.5/1(+59%) | (2) Dom Bosco 6.5/1, Made little impact behind Sir Jack West in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago and will need to leave that effort well behind to figure. Offered little on his first go in this sphere when remote fifth over C&D; more is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (20/1 -67%) Millies Mite |
20/1(-67%) | (6) Millies Mite 20/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs but ran her best race for a while when third of 8 in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Others still make more appeal for win purposes. Returned to fences with a good third at Fontwell 4 weeks ago; possibilities off 2lb lower. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Zoran is an appealing option for the Emma Lavelle team now faced with a stiffer test of stamina, while Guttural offered more from the front when placing third at Huntingdon last month. However, SIR JACK WEST looks the way to go based on recent form and, having won over C&D on his penultimate start, his proven effectiveness over track and trip earns him the vote.
HARRY THE NORSEMAN would have been an easy winner at Uttoxeter if not for taking the wrong course and should take all the beating from an unchanged mark. The Eminent Goose did plenty wrong on her chase bow but is probably worth another chance.
It's hard to look past HARRY THE NORSEMAN who came home clear at Uttoxeter last time only to be demoted for taking the wrong course.

1st (5) (4.5/1 +18%) The Boola Boss |
4.5/1(+18%) | (5) The Boola Boss 4.5/1, C&D winner 12 months ago and likely needed first outing since when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to firm, 6/1) 24 days ago. Could be a player back over fences here. Tongue strap on first time. C&D winner; off almost a year before well-held hurdling 5th at Ffos Las; needs considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (3.5/1 +56%) Ahead Of The Field |
3.5/1(+56%) | (6) Ahead Of The Field 3.5/1, Scored at second attempt for this yard/over fences at Southwell (20.4f) in December 2021 but winless since and hasn't really threatened over hurdles on recent starts. Bit to prove currently. Comes here well below par, remote third at Ffos Las 24 days ago; has lots to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (6.5/1 +28%) Ron Burgundy |
6.5/1(+28%) | (8) Ron Burgundy 6.5/1, Left his chase debut form behind when third in handicap at Uttoxeter (24f, soft) last month but wasn't in same form on quicker ground at Market Rasen latest and others make more appeal. Remote fifth in Market Rasen handicap 24 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (8.5/1 -70%) Ecossais |
8.5/1(-70%) | (3) Ecossais 8.5/1, Back from 11-month absence when solid third of 5 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Becoming well treated and merits consideration. Winless since early 2021; not discredited when third at Warwick; he can build on it now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (18/1 -260%) Smuggler's Blues |
18/1(-260%) | (1) Smuggler's Blues 18/1, Ran with credit, in first-time blinkers, when third of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Not the easiest to win with, though. Fair third at Perth in April; a bit more is needed if he is to resume winning ways. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (5/1 -67%) Judge Earle |
5/1(-67%) | (2) Judge Earle 5/1, C&D winner who was returning from 7 months off when second of 2 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is 5 lb lower now. C&D winner; beaten in Uttoxeter match latest; should take a big step forward; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (3/1 +33%) Last Quarter |
3/1(+33%) | (4) Last Quarter 3/1, Far from disgraced when fourth of 9 in C&D handicap last month and dropped 2 lb since. Tongue strap back on. Not out of things. In good form over fences, C&D fourth latest; can go well again in a refitted tongue tie. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (28/1 +0%) Fine Theatre |
28/1(+0%) | (7) Fine Theatre 28/1, Dual hurdles/chase winner for Paul Nolan in Ireland but yet to trouble the judge for current connections and makes limited appeal. Without a victory since 2020 and this unreliable veteran was pulled up at Ffos Las latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
David Pipe's horses have been running well this summer and LAST QUARTER can do his bit to extend the stable's run of good form. This is an ideal test of stamina for the six-year-old and, having built up a good rapport with Jack Tudor, there are solid reasons to expect a bold showing given the handicapper has now cut him some slack. Judge Earle is a dual C&D winner who also has solid claims based on his peak efforts, while Ecossais is also considered.
JUDGE EARLE has dropped to a handy mark and should be straighter for last month's Uttoxeter return. He gets the nod. Ecossais and The Boola Boss rate the principal dangers.
Peter Bowen took this 12 months ago and can repeat the feat with JUDGE EARL who should be all the better for his recent outing.

1st (5) (1.88/1 +53%) My Bobby Dazzler |
1.88/1(+53%) | (5) My Bobby Dazzler 1.88/1, Three Aintree wins in 2021. Back in form when reaching the frame in big-field handicaps twice this spring and having been off 8 weeks, was lit up but stuck at it well enough to secure another frame finish at Cartmel (25.4f) 17 days ago. Point winner so one to consider on chase bow. Winning pointer/hurdler; quite interesting on chase debut but perhaps better at 3m now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (4/1 +27%) Silver Sheen |
4/1(+27%) | (3) Silver Sheen 4/1, Useful hurdler in Ireland for Jessica Harrington. Off 6 months and not discredited on both runs for his current yard, latest when fourth in 2m4f Leicester handicap chase in December. Needs considering after a wind op and with a first-time tongue tied applied. Three hurdle wins at up to 3m; not so good over fences so far; first run after wind op. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4.5/1 -64%) Martello Sky |
4.5/1(-64%) | (1) Martello Sky 4.5/1, Useful hurdler who has been pretty consistent in defeat at listed/Graded level last season. Heavy defeat back in a handicap on final run for Lucy Wadham but offered something to work on sent chasing when not beaten far in a match last month (lost a shoe). Big chance back in trip. Useful hurdler; good run in a match on chase debut (3m); perhaps better at 2m4f; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (1.75/1 +36%) The Bomber Liston |
1.75/1(+36%) | (4) The Bomber Liston 1.75/1, Seemingly hard to train but ran well after 8 months off to hit the frame at Kempton on Boxing Day. Ran to a similar level when sixth at Wincanton (21.4f) a couple of months ago and attentions are now turned to the larger obstacles following a breathing op. Lightly raced 7yo; good 2nd over hurdles in March; chase debut after a wind op; chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A tentative vote goes to MARTELLO SKY in a contest lacking depth. The daughter of Martaline finished two and a half lengths behind the winner over 3m at Uttoxeter on her stable debut for Dr Richard Newland last month. She can benefit from a shorter trip, given she weakened towards the finish on that occasion. Silver Sheen hasn't been seen since last December but is feared most in a first-time tongue-tie, while Ballybegg completes the shortlist.
Impossible to discount any of the quintet with MARTELLO SKY selected to score second time up in this sphere having gone down by just 2½ lengths when conceding 19 lb to a sole rival at Uttoxeter last month. Both The Bomber Liston and Silver Sheen have had breathing operations since last seen and they can chase the selection home in that order.
In a tricky trace, THE BOMBER LISTON is taken to make a winning debut over fences with Martello Sky also expected to go well.

1st (3) (2.5/1 +17%) Scarpia |
2.5/1(+17%) | (3) Scarpia 2.5/1, Good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good to firm, 9/2) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Up 3 lb but he's in the mix. Has a patchy record, with only one win (January 2022) from ten attempts in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7.5/1 -67%) Polish |
7.5/1(-67%) | (5) Polish 7.5/1, Out of form when last seen out for John Gallagher, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good). Off 11 months but now back with former yard off a handy-looking mark. Interesting to see what the market makes of him. Back with Fergal O'Brien and well handicapped with any sort of a revival; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (1.88/1 +6%) Shantou Express |
1.88/1(+6%) | (1) Shantou Express 1.88/1, 6/4, resumed winning ways in 4-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (26.4f, good) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly despite 6 lb rise. Back on song when comfortably made all in four-runner Stratford race (3m2f) 12 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Hell Red |
3.5/1(+0%) | (2) Hell Red 3.5/1, Enjoyed a highly-productive spell in chases last summer and made it 5 wins from 7 starts over fences when successful at Fontwell (21.6f) in April. Below-par fourth at Plumpton returned to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces last time so more is needed. Five chase wins in last 13 months in very small fields; not so good over hurdles latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5.5/1 +27%) Butler's Brief |
5.5/1(+27%) | (4) Butler's Brief 5.5/1, C&D winner. 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 49 days ago so needs to bounce back. Should be a lot more interesting today than he was seven weeks ago after 186 days off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
An emphatic winner over an extended 3m2f earlier this month, Shantou Express can go close off a 6lb raised mark. However, a shorter stamina test looks set to suit SCARPIA. Nicky Henderson's inmate was headed after the last over 3m1f on his latest outing at Huntingdon and a first-time tongue-tie can give him the edge. Hell Red also warrants a market check.
POLISH returns from an absence now back with Fergal O'Brien off a good-looking mark so could be worth chancing. Scarpia is feared most on the back of his good Huntingdon second, with Stratford scorer Shantou Express also in the mix in a trappy handicap.
All five are considered seriously but SHANTOU EXPRESS backed up a Stratford win last May with a good run here and may do so again.

1st (6) (2.25/1 +10%) Well Done Dani |
2.25/1(+10%) | (6) Well Done Dani 2.25/1, Placed 3 times during the autumn and improved when opening her account on the back of a break/wind op at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in April. Creditable third of 10 at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) since. Likely to be in the shake-up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (2.25/1 +36%) Only Fools |
2.25/1(+36%) | (7) Only Fools 2.25/1, Fair Flat winner in France. Better signs over hurdles since handicapping, finishing second of 13 over 18.5f at Newton Abbot last time. Considered. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.6/1 -20%) Melvich Bay |
3.6/1(-20%) | (5) Melvich Bay 3.6/1, Looks to be getting her act together now, finishing second of 5 in a 2m Kelso novice 18 days ago. That was an uncompetitive race of its type but a mark of 80 could still underestimate her back in a handicap. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 +25%) Fabreze |
12/1(+25%) | (2) Fabreze 12/1, Poor form in 4 hurdle starts in Ireland in 2021/22 but did manage a point win there this spring. Worth a precautionary market check on her debut for new connections. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4/1 +11%) Luna Dora |
4/1(+11%) | (3) Luna Dora 4/1, Made light of a five-month absence and a bad mistake at halfway when readily landing 8-runner handicap hurdle at Fakenham (2m, soft) in April. Effort flattened out when fifth over 19.5f at Bangor latest and this return to 2m could help. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (40/1 -60%) Autumn Blaze |
40/1(-60%) | (8) Autumn Blaze 40/1, No promise in 2 bumpers and 3 hurdles. Has a basement mark to work with now handicapping after wind op but still hard to make a case for. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ONLY FOOLS finished a decent second over an extended 2m2f last time and could be worth taking a chance on dropping in distance. She is rated 2lb higher for the aforementioned effort, but still makes plenty of appeal based on the pick of her form. Recent distance runner-up Melvich Bay is another to consider as she looks to be getting the hang of things now, while you can make a decent case for Well Done Dani too.
Although it wasn't a strong novice MELVICH BAY was second in last time it's rare one who was beaten 4½ lengths in a race of that nature gets the opportunity to run in a handicap off a lowly mark of 80 on their next start so she's the suggestion. Only Fools and Well Done Dani can fight it out for minor honours.
Several need to be considered seriously but WELL DONE DANI may emerge on top from Only Fools.

1st (2) (12/1 -33%) Baileys Derbyday |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Baileys Derbyday 12/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 2m) and is a half-brother to useful hurdler Pilansberg. Still, he will need to step on his first 2 efforts in this sphere in order to play a leading role here. Hood applied. Fair Flat handicapper; modest efforts over jumps (pulled hard last time); hood now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 -50%) Kenzai Warrior |
3/1(-50%) | (5) Kenzai Warrior 3/1, Useful sort on Flat and produced a step forward from his hurdles debut when second of 12 in novice at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) in December. However, efforts on the level the last twice have been poor. Good second at Taunton in December but disappointing since (last two on the Flat); player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (33/1 -83%) Sobegrand |
33/1(-83%) | (10) Sobegrand 33/1, Went the wrong way following promising debut second for the Gosdens on the Flat at Kempton. Failed to make much of an impact on hurdles debut at Bangor, though, and subsequently gelded. Signs of ability on the Flat and likely to improve on sole jumps run after being gelded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (0.5/1 +64%) Evenwood Sonofagun |
0.5/1(+64%) | (4) Evenwood Sonofagun 0.5/1, Made the frame on plenty of occasions when trained in Ireland and has shown ability both completed starts on these shores, too. Has undergone a wind op and he's one of the more likely winners. Back after a wind op; sound fifth over C&D last time (first four all won since); chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (40/1 +39%) Blazing Court |
40/1(+39%) | (3) Blazing Court 40/1, Showed only poor form in a pair of bumpers and it was much the same in maiden hurdles at Southwell and Taunton during the winter. Best to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Lantic Bay. Modest form in two bumpers and plenty to prove after two ordinary efforts over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (33/1 -65%) Valparaiso |
33/1(-65%) | (9) Valparaiso 33/1, Bagged a 1½m Doncaster handicap for Marcus Tregoning in April 2021 but below par when last seen in June of that year. Wellbeing has to be taken on trust ahead of this hurdles debut for new connections. Won over 1m4f on good to firm on the Flat; no easy task on jumps debut after two years off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (14/1 -100%) Thrifty Scot |
14/1(-100%) | (8) Thrifty Scot 14/1, Half-brother to bumper winner Lady Valerie and represents a strong yard that can ready one first-time-out. Watch the betting for clues. Half-brother to a bumper winner out of an unraced mare; market best guide on debut. |

8th (6) (50/1 -127%) Lantic Bay |
50/1(-127%) | (6) Lantic Bay 50/1, Dream Eater gelding. Dam winning pointer/runner-up sole start over fences. Yard seldom strikes with newcomers but he's worth a second look in the betting all the same. First foal of a winning pointer; perhaps best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (200/1 -100%) Nyoufsea |
200/1(-100%) | (7) Nyoufsea 200/1, Poor maiden who was pulled up for the fourth time in his last 5 starts (all over fences) at Warwick at the end of March. Looks set for another struggle back hurdling, unless the addition of blinkers have a profound effect. Long-standing maiden; tried in blinkers (has run in cheekpieces); others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (1) (40/1 -21%) Ascension Day |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Ascension Day 40/1, €6,000 3-y-o, Imperial Monarch gelding. Closely related to bumper winner/fair hurdler Payngo, stayed 3m. Didn't show much in 3 starts between the flags last spring, however. Modest Irish pointer who is best watched on his hurdles/stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN may have been comfortably beaten over C&D last time out, but the form of that race has worked out extremely well and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get off the mark at the 12th time of asking. Fit from two runs on the level, Kenzai Warrior has strong claims on his penultimate effort at Taunton, while Baileys Derbyday is one who is entitled to improve on what he's shown so far.
EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN and Kenzai Warrior have both shown more than enough ability to suggest that a race of this nature would be well within reach. Marginal preference is for the former, who should come on for his reappearance spin over C&D last month. Newcomer Thrifty Scot is one to note in the betting.
The form of the race in which EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN (nap) finished fifth last time is rock solid and he can break his duck over hurdles.

1st (6) (14/1 -133%) No Recollection |
14/1(-133%) | (6) No Recollection 14/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who took well to hurdles for Alan King last summer, winning a C&D maiden. Much better than bare result at Market Rasen on debut for this stable and should strip fitter for it. Ex-Alan King; quite useful on Flat and a C&D winner over jumps; well held on stable debut. |

2nd (2) (2.75/1 -10%) John Betjeman |
2.75/1(-10%) | (2) John Betjeman 2.75/1, Latest win in hurdle at Ffos Las in March. 9/4, creditable 2 lengths second of 8 to Nibras Gold in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (15.8f, good to firm) 24 days ago, clear of rest. Has been consistent of late and another solid showing seems likely. In good form this year and 3lb better off with Nibras Gold who beat him by 2l last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (0.83/1 +45%) Nibras Gold |
0.83/1(+45%) | (1) Nibras Gold 0.83/1, Fair stayer on the Flat who has taken well to hurdling. Doubled his tally in this sphere back from 8 months off in a handicap at Ffos Las 24 days ago and makes plenty of appeal again. C&D winner last summer; back to form to win a Ffos Las h'cap last time; up 6lb; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 +44%) Dutch Admiral |
14/1(+44%) | (7) Dutch Admiral 14/1, Modest hurdler who was below form when last seen in this sphere and hasn't been offering much encouragement on the Flat this year. Hurdle winner in 2020; mixed form after that; poor form on Flat after 444 days off in 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (25/1 +0%) Chasamax |
25/1(+0%) | (4) Chasamax 25/1, Three-time winner in this sphere for Nicky Henderson but ended time with that yard on a downer and no positives to draw from what he's done for current stable. Three wins for Nicky Henderson but not shown much for present yard; others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (12/1 -33%) Gerard Mentor |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Gerard Mentor 12/1, Scored twice last autumn but last 2 efforts have been poor. Might strip fitter for return at Ludlow but others are still more appealing. Four wins on good/soft at around 2m last term; not run as well since but could bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (10/1 -54%) Striking Out |
10/1(-54%) | (5) Striking Out 10/1, Irish point winner who scored over hurdles and made a positive start over fences. Unseated at Chepstow in that sphere last time but fixed-brush obstacles should suit back in this sphere. Also in cheekpieces for the first time. Irish point/maiden hurdle winner; some fair efforts since but drop to 2m not sure to suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The key to this race looks to be the recent clash between NIBRAS GOLD (first) and John Betjeman (second) at Ffos Las, and it is the former who is taken to uphold that form at a track where he won comfortably last June. Striking Out is interesting on his return to hurdles, while Gerard Mentor is another to note and can go well if bouncing back to form.
NIBRAS GOLD already has a C&D win to his name and, having returned with an improved display to score at Ffos Las recently, he makes most appeal. Old rival John Betjeman is a danger. Striking Out is another one to consider back over hurdles.
Having looked a decent prospect last season, GERARD MENTOR is taken to beat the in-form pair of Nibras Gold and John Betjeman.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
