(6)  (7/1 +22%)Mystic Man |
7/1(+22%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mystic Man 7/1, Winner of 2 of his 3 starts over fences for Oliver Sherwood and back-to-back wins for this yard over 20.5f at Southwell in September/October. Ran poorly back down in trip there on return last month but type to bounce back. Won four chases in 2023; flopped last month, after a layoff, but may progress again. |
|||
1st (12)  (3/1 -9%)Chemical Warfare |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Chemical Warfare 3/1, Not long with this yard and was closing in third (looked a threat) when falling at the last over fences over C&D last month. Took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Market Rasen since and remains of strong interest back in this sphere. Held every chance before last-fence fall here last month and has since won over hurdles. |
|||
2nd (7)  (22/1 -267%)Blazing Court |
22/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Blazing Court 22/1, Modest maiden hurdler but is a chaser on looks and made a positive start in this sphere when third over C&D last month. Entitled to build on that and not taken lightly. 0-7 over hurdles but made good start to chasing career when placed over C&D last month. |
|||
3rd (10)  (20/1 -208%)Impression Chic |
20/1(-208%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Impression Chic 20/1, Ex-pointer who stepped up on her hurdles form when making a winning chase debut in a first-time tongue strap at Fontwell in October. Good runner-up efforts since and can give her running again if ready to go after 7 months off. Has fitness to prove here but made very solid start to chasing career in the autumn. |
|||
4th (5)  (80/1 -300%)Lost Connections |
80/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Lost Connections 80/1, Won mares' handicap chase at Ludlow in May 2023 but ran poorly bidding for a repeat success there last month, dropping away quickly home turn. Let down by jumping back over hurdles since and bit to prove now. Didn't run badly over hurdles last month and reverts to chasing on last winning mark. |
|||
5th (9)  (350/1 -3789%)Carnet De Stage |
350/1(-3789%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Carnet De Stage 350/1, Poor ex-Irish hurdler/chaser but ran best race for a while when second in handicap hurdle (16/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. That was only his second start for this yard so warrants respect back over fences. Bettered low-key stable debut when close second over hurdles here last month; shortlisted. |
|||
6th (1)  (450/1 -3991%)Stringtoyourbow |
450/1(-3991%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Stringtoyourbow 450/1, Fair winning hurdler who showed some promise after 19-month absence at Cheltenham in October. Pulled up sent chasing on his next 2 starts but showed his first form in this sphere when third at Fakenham in March. Lost his action back over hurdles since. Completed only one of three chases last season and was pulled up on hurdle return. |
|||
7th (4)  (200/1 -900%)Texard |
200/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Texard 200/1, Easily best effort for this yard when wide-margin winner at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft) in April. Not in the same form since, though, sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Southwell (15.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Wide-margin winner in April but recent efforts have been underwhelming; others preferred. |
|||
8th (2)  (400/1 -5614%)Arctic Ambition |
400/1(-5614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Arctic Ambition 400/1, Lost his way for Gordon Elliott but step back in the right direction for this yard when second off reduced mark at Cartmel 10 days ago so claims can be made. No long the force of old but ran best race for current stable when second ten days ago. |
|||
9th (11)  (125/1 -279%)Jukebox D'eddy |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Jukebox D'eddy 125/1, Modest maiden hurdler. All but came down first and pulled up in handicap at Ffos Las on chasing debut in November. Inexperienced over fences but both hurdle runs this season were respectable; a possible. |
|||
|F| (13)  (250/1 -1463%)Dreadpoetssociety |
250/1(-1463%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Dreadpoetssociety 250/1, Well held in bumpers for Warren Greatrex and poor form over hurdles. 3 lb out of the handicap on chase bow. Second handicap hurdle run was much better than the first; chasing debut today. |
|||
10th (3)  (350/1 -6900%)Limetree Boy |
350/1(-6900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Limetree Boy 350/1, Winning hurdler who is yet to score in this sphere but has made the frame on each of his last 4 starts, shaping as if a return to further would suit when runner-up at Bangor (17.4f, good) last time. Can make his presence felt again fitted with a tongue tie. 0-8 over fences but in the frame all four starts since cheekpieces were added in March. |
|||
11th (8)  (450/1 -1264%)Goaheadwiththeplan |
450/1(-1264%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Goaheadwiththeplan 450/1, Won a 2m Uttoxeter handicap chase in July 2022 but proved very easy to back and was rusty on first run since when pulled up at Huntingdon 6 weeks ago. Might need this again. Won over fecnes in summer 2022 but pulled up in May, after a long absence. |
|||
|PU| (14)  (250/1 -658%)Reine Des Tartes |
250/1(-658%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Reine Des Tartes 250/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in points. Offered little in trio of quick-fire novice hurdle runs earlier this year and similar story switched to fences/handicap at Market Rasen last month. 8 lb out of the handicap. Well beaten on recent chase/handicap debut and effectively 3lb higher today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A runner-up at Bangor last time, LIMETREE BOY is taken to go one better with this extra distance expected to bring about some improvement. Arctic Ambition has slid down the handicap and posted a better effort at Cartmel 10 days ago, while Blazing Court placed over C&D on his chasing bow and there should be more to come from him. Chemical Warfare won over hurdles at Market Rasen but is 10lb higher back over the larger obstacles.
CHEMICAL WARFARE is going the right way for his present yard, taking advantage of his lower hurdles mark in good style at Market Rasen, and remains of strong interest back over fences. Limetree Boy should be suited by a return to this trip and can make his presence felt again, while Blazing Court made a positive start over fences when third over C&D last month.
David Pipe's CHEMICAL WARFARE looked set to go close before his late fall over C&D last month, and has won over hurdles since.

1st (1)  (14/1 -115%)Judge Earle |
14/1(-115%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Judge Earle 14/1, Back in the groove when scoring at Uttoxeter and this track last July. Ended 2023 in tame fashion fitted in headgear, however, and little encouragement all 3 outings this term (not given at all a hard time on latest). Now 2 lb below last winning mark and market support should be noted. Seven-time chase winner; badly out of form this season; revival needed. |
|||
2nd (6)  (200/1 -700%)Galloping Pride |
200/1(-700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Galloping Pride 200/1, Is a maiden over hurdles and made a discouraging debut in this sphere at Southwell (24.3f, good to soft) just under 5 weeks ago. Headgear goes on and needs to show plenty more before becoming of interest. Disappointing in first two handicaps (hurdle/chase); visor added today. |
|||
3rd (5)  (40/1 -789%)My Gift To You |
40/1(-789%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) My Gift To You 40/1, Immediate improvement upon joining James Owen, scoring for fifth time at Catterick in March and backing it up with solid placed efforts at Fontwell and Cartmel (21.2f). Gave himself little chance through a dreadful round of jumping last time, but he can bounce back with Cobden booked. Didn't fire last time but has generally done very well for current stable. |
|||
4th (3)  (100/1 -2400%)Pilot Show |
100/1(-2400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pilot Show 100/1, Finally added to his chasing debut success after a run of 11 defeats in the interim in 10-runner handicap at Warwick (24f, good to soft) just under 6 weeks ago. 5 lb rise for that fair and he's fancied to be in the shake-up with a conditional back on board. Back in peak form when scoring at Warwick in May; Ben Bromley claims 5lb here; a player. |
|||
5th (12)  (200/1 -2400%)Jessie Lightfoot |
200/1(-2400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Jessie Lightfoot 200/1, Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver, scoring over fences at Taunton and Southwell before a solid fifth (from 2 lb out of weights) of 8 in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces on and could well have a say. In good form for new stable this spring; dangerous if cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
|||
6th (8)  (200/1 -700%)Johnny B |
200/1(-700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Johnny B 200/1, On a fair mark and bounced back when runner-up at Chepstow in April. Merely underlined inconsistency when pulled up at Uttoxeter (24f, soft) just over 6 weeks ago so he's a risky betting proposition. Stayed on well for second two starts ago but pulled up since; too unreliable. |
|||
7th (10)  (150/1 -3233%)Langley Hundred |
150/1(-3233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Langley Hundred 150/1, Dual staying handicap hurdle winner who has eased in weights and returned to pick of his chase form (also had wind op) when runner-up at Newton Abbot last month. Narrowly denied again at the same track 9 days later and is now 3 lb higher. Remains a leading player. Close second in two 3m2f chases at Newton Abbot last month; must be considered. |
|||
8th (4)  (125/1 -1150%)Behind The Curtain |
125/1(-1150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Behind The Curtain 125/1, Career-best win over hurdles at Hereford in May but is yet to match his form in that sphere after 3 tries over fences, doing well to briefly get into contention at Newton Abbot last month after significant interference early. Cheekpieces on and it's too soon to be writing him off. Dual hurdle winner this spring but yet to convince over fences. |
|||
9th (7)  (300/1 -2900%)Midnight Centurion |
300/1(-2900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Midnight Centurion 300/1, Ludlow maiden hurdles winner in March 2022 and positive start over fences when finding just one too good on chase debut in November of that year. Might have needed first start for 14 months at first-named venue in January but fell mid-race at Newton Abbot last month. Very lightly raced since promising chase debut in 2022 but lurks on a tempting mark. |
|||
10th (13)  (400/1 -2757%)Favori De Sivola |
400/1(-2757%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Favori De Sivola 400/1, Potentially well handicapped and, having rejoined his former yard from David Pipe, hinted at a revival after 7 months off/wind op at Newton Abbot last month. Down another 3 lb and could go well. Made fairly encouraging reappearance last month and is very well handicapped now. |
|||
11th (14)  (350/1 -600%)Raindance Queen |
350/1(-600%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Raindance Queen 350/1, Placed both starts between the flags early in 2022 but has shown little in over hurdles, including handicaps. Huge outsider sent chasing. Struggled in two handicap hurdles this spring; up in trip for chasing debut. |
|||
12th (2)  (350/1 -961%)Jony Max |
350/1(-961%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jony Max 350/1, 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. Returned from break with three very disappointing runs this spring. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (400/1 -6567%)Land Genie |
400/1(-6567%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Land Genie 400/1, Half-brother to Constitution Hill who made a winning start to his career in Huntingdon bumper last spring. Showed much improved form on handicap debut when third of 7 in hurdle at Warwick (25f, good) a couple of months ago and now heads over the larger obstacles. One to consider. Unexposed 6yo; third on handicap hurdle debut in May; makes chasing debut here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
PILOT SHOW returned to winning ways at Warwick and another bold bid looks likely with a 5lb rise negated by his conditional jockey's allowance. My Gift To You wasn't at his best in a higher grade last time but was running well before that and he can get involved, while Langley Hundred is another to consider based on a couple of good efforts at Newton Abbot last month. Jessie Lightfoot makes most appeal of the rest.
Cases can be made for several, but it could be worth taking a chance on JUDGE EARLE, who has shown little so far this season but is now 2 lb lower than when winning at this course last summer. Pilot Show finally added to his chasing debut success at Warwick just under 6 weeks ago so he can provide most resistance to the selection, with My Gift To You and Langley Hundred another couple fancied to be in the mix.
The pick is JESSIE LIGHTFOOT (nap), who did well for her new stable this spring and held her own in a higher-grade C&D race last time.

(6)  (50/1 -25%)Totowolfe |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Totowolfe 50/1, Winning Irish pointer but hasn't gone on from his hurdling debut effort, in first-time cheekpieces when seventh of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (20f, good to soft) in May. Has work to do having had a wind op. Has made little impact over hurdles; returns from wind surgery with a bit to prove.. |
|||
1st (1)  (10/11 -355%)Fine Margin |
10/11(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Fine Margin 10/11, After a couple of lesser efforts, got back on track when landing the odds in a Fontwell maiden (19.1f, good) in May. Remains early days for his leading yard and he looks to hold leading claims of following up with cheekpieces added. Irish raider who was off the mark at Fontwell in May; the one to beat under a penalty.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (15/8 +53%)Bob Bob Ricard |
15/8(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Bob Bob Ricard 15/8, Made an encouraging hurdles debut when runner-up at Wetherby in October, but didn't manage to build on that last season. However, he has won both starts since sent chasing, scoring at this course (20f, good) 19 days ago. Respected back hurdling. Yet to win in four attempts over hurdles but 2-2 over fences this year; not ruled out.. |
|||
3rd (7)  (400/1 -700%)Definite Dream |
400/1(-700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Definite Dream 400/1, €800 3-y-o, £15,000 4-y-o, Mahler mare. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Kingston Retreat, stays 3m. Dam unraced half-sister to 2m-17f Italian jumps winner A Plus Ma Puce. Maiden pointer, finishing third on her latest outing in May. Modest maiden pointer who makes limited appeal on hurdle/stable debut.. |
|||
4th (8)  (400/1 -1112%)Hawk Jet |
400/1(-1112%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Hawk Jet 400/1, Had been going the right way on the Flat but not much impact in 2 starts over hurdles, off a further 4 months before finishing seventh of 12 in maiden at Fakenham (16f, good) last month. Could fare better upped in trip with her latest run behind her. Fair Flat handicapper; well held on both hurdle starts and needs more to figure here.. |
|||
5th (10)  (450/1 -200%)Oceana Orange |
450/1(-200%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Oceana Orange 450/1, Little form on the Flat and, making second start for her current yard, finished well held tried again over hurdles in a Newton Abbot novice (21.6f, good) 13 days ago. Looks to be up against it. Well beaten on both starts over hurdles; needs to show significant improvement.. |
|||
6th (3)  (350/1 -133%)No Promises |
350/1(-133%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) No Promises 350/1, Successful once from 6 starts in points in 2022, but after a lengthy absence he was pulled up in maiden hurdle at Southwell (20.4f, good) 27 days ago. Best watched. Pulled up back from a lengthy absence latest; hard to make a case for.. |
|||
7th (5)  (200/1 -1900%)Sheer Joy |
200/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sheer Joy 200/1, €15,000 3-y-o, £10,000 5-y-o, Yeats gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Arthur's Quay, stays 3m,. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class hurdler (winner up to 3m) Bannow Bay. Runner-up on completed start in Irish points. Shortlisted. Runner-up in an Irish point in May; each-way contender on stable/hurdle debut.. |
|||
8th (4)  (400/1 -167%)Ruby's Comet |
400/1(-167%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ruby's Comet 400/1, Half-brother to 3 winners but didn't offer much in a couple of bumpers and has fared little better over hurdles, well beaten in maiden at this course (23f, good to soft) when last seen 11 months ago. Has shown no worthwhile form on three starts over hurdles; makes little appeal.. |
|||
9th (9)  (300/1 -1100%)Kirkuila |
300/1(-1100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Kirkuila 300/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and ran to a similar level sent hurdling when fifth in 10-runner juvenile at Cork (16.1f, good to soft) in October. Pulled up at Fairyhouse the following month, though, and absent since ahead of first run since leaving James M. Barrett. Not disgraced when 5th on hurdles debut; pulled up when last seen in November; new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Willie Mullins sends FINE MARGIN over from Ireland and he will likely prove to be the one to beat. The seven-year-old won a maiden hurdle in good style at Fontwell in May and can defy a penalty. Bob Bob Ricard has been winning over fences of late and may give the selection something to think about if translating that improved form back to the smaller obstacles, while Sheer Joy has placed in an Irish point-to-point and debuts under Rules having joined Alastair Ralph's yard.
FINE MARGIN got off the mark in straightforward fashion at Fontwell last time and he's the one to beat as he makes only his fifth start for Willie Mullins. The biggest threat could be Bob Bob Ricard, who returns to hurdling having won both starts over fences this season, with Sheer Joy the pick of the remainder.
Bob Bob Ricard needs respecting but FINE MARGIN should take a bit of beating under his penalty.

1st (7)  (9/2 +0%)Lallygag |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lallygag 9/2, Down the weights following a series of below par efforts and back on track last two completed starts. Still going as well as any when ran out at the third last at Newton Abbot last time, so he's very much of interest. Was still in with a shout when running out latest; commands respect back at 2m4f. |
|||
2nd (10)  (25/1 -25%)Hardy Boy |
25/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Hardy Boy 25/1, Attitude and jumping has always been questionable and he found a good run of form coming to a halt in handicap chase here last time. Returns to hurdling. Jumped poorly over fences on latest start; capable hurdler but others preferred.. |
|||
3rd (11)  (11/2 -22%)Bethpage |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Bethpage 11/2, Progressive mare who completed the hat-trick in good style at Southwell last month. Even more to come and makes plenty of appeal despite being 1 lb wrong at the weights. 3-3 since switched to handicaps; up in class off career-high mark but can't be ruled out. |
|||
4th (8)  (66/1 -843%)Liverpool Knight |
66/1(-843%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Liverpool Knight 66/1, Back-to-back winner of Uttoxeter novice events last July and progressed again when making all in a 2m handicap here in September. Back on track when fourth at Market Rasen last month but mark demands more. Inconclusive first 2m4f run at Market Rasen latest but still needs considering. |
|||
5th (6)  (450/1 -6823%)Uggy Uggy Uggy |
450/1(-6823%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Uggy Uggy Uggy 450/1, Latest win in hurdle at Warwick in May. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (13/8) at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 33 days ago. Still of interest and this race should be run to suit. Remains in form and hard to ignore back up in trip for his in-form stable.. |
|||
6th (3)  (125/1 -2678%)Mr Freedom |
125/1(-2678%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mr Freedom 125/1, Most consistent sort who produced another likeable display when second to a big improver in the Sussex Champion Hurdle in March. Pulled up next time but has got back on track on the Flat since. Reverts to hurdles after winning on the Flat at Goodwood latest; respected.. |
|||
7th (4)  (300/1 -1100%)Party Business |
300/1(-1100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Party Business 300/1, Useful hurdler who is becoming well treated but arrives on the back of a poor effort at Bangor. Best opposed unless the market speaks in his favour. Has a bit to prove at present over a trip short of his best; others preferred.. |
|||
8th (5)  (400/1 -3233%)Chilinlikeavillain |
400/1(-3233%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Chilinlikeavillain 400/1, Won a Southwell maiden hurdle in March 2023 but absent from then until a tame display at Hexham last month. Has a bit to prove. Unexposed 7yo; entitled to improve on last month's return but others appeal more.. |
|||
9th (9)  (350/1 -961%)As Tears Go By |
350/1(-961%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) As Tears Go By 350/1, Hit the target twice for Gordon Elliott last May but form tailed off badly thereafter and no show on debut for this yard at Stratford 20 days ago. Continues to struggle for form and failed to find any improvement on stable debut latest.. |

10th (2)  (450/1 -6823%)Tronador |
450/1(-6823%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tronador 450/1, Hasn't had much racing for this yard and was back to best when scoring at Plumpton in May. Not disgraced on the Flat since and should be considered. Won on stable debut over hurdles in May; respected after a fair effort on the Flat. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (350/1 -5733%)Teqany |
350/1(-5733%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Teqany 350/1, Useful hurdler. Creditable 5½ lengths second of 6 to Sceau Royal in Elite Hurdle (14/1) at Wincanton (15.2f, good). Up in trip but hard to know what he's capable of having been off over 2 years. Useful form under both codes but that was back in 2021; has a mammoth absence to overcome.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
The wet summer has ensured there has been enough juice underfoot for BETHPAGE to register a hat-trick of good-ground victories over a variety of trips. The mare's admirable versatility on that score earns her the vote, despite a 9lb rise for the latest of those comfortable successes. Lallygag had the race at his mercy when he ran out at Newton Abbot last time and is noted with first-time cheekpieces added. Uggy Uggy Uggy is also noteworthy returned to a longer trip.
MR FREEDOM is just 1 lb higher than his last winning mark and looked better than ever on the Flat recently, so he's worth taking a chance on. The four-timer-seeking Bethpage is an obvious threat and Lallygag should be on the premises.
A wide-open handicap with Bethpage feared most but UGGY UGGY UGGY remains with potential off this mark back up in trip.

(7)  (11/1 +0%)Astroman |
11/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Astroman 11/1, Won twice over hurdles at the start of last summer and shrugged of some lesser efforts when third of 10 in Fontwell handicap 26 days ago. Looked back in good nick and ran well from the front when third at Fontwell last month. |
|||
(14)  (20/1 +0%)Royal Sam |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Royal Sam 20/1, Point winner but still a maiden under Rules. Recent chase efforts underwhelming but his mark has come down and well treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Not firing on all cylinders over fences this spring; now switches back to hurdling. |
|||
1st (9)  (16/1 -14%)No Way Pedro |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) No Way Pedro 16/1, 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. Latest course fourth was a bit better but need to see more. Not yet proven over this far but ran well over 2m4f here last month; could have a say. |
|||
2nd (8)  (13/2 -44%)Faha Belle |
13/2(-44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Faha Belle 13/2, Irish point winner who arrives on the back of good runner-up efforts in handicaps at Market Rasen (20.5f, good) and Uttoxeter (23f, soft) in recent months. Big player. Runner-up on last two outings, more recently behind a much-improved mare; in the mix again. |
|||
3rd (3)  (200/1 -900%)Champetre |
200/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Champetre 200/1, Fair bumper performer for Harry Whittington. Easily best effort over hurdles for new yard when fourth in 23f Uttoxeter novice 32 days ago, looking suited to the longer trip. Makes handicap debut with a first-time visor replacing regular cheekpieces. Much improved form when fourth in recent Uttoxeter novice; new headgear for handicap debut. |
|||
4th (10)  (350/1 -961%)Magical Arthur |
350/1(-961%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Magical Arthur 350/1, Poor form over hurdles for Phil Kirby, including in handicaps this spring. Best watched on stable debut unless the betting hints otherwise. Soundly beaten in first two handicaps for Philip Kirby; now with a new stable. |
|||
5th (11)  (350/1 -3400%)Caspers Court |
350/1(-3400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Caspers Court 350/1, On a career-low and turned in one of his best recent efforts when second of 5 at Newton Abbot (21.5f, soft) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted. Not discounted. Rediscovered some form on latest start but is no longer the force of old; others preferred. |
|||
6th (6)  (400/1 -1900%)Dasher |
400/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dasher 400/1, Showed plenty when placed in a pair of bumpers and stepped up on previous hurdling form when fifth in a handicap at Uttoxeter (23f) in May. Pulled up here since, though. Ran quite well on handicap debut in May but pulled up here since; needs to bounce back. |
|||
7th (12)  (350/1 -4275%)Valentine Getaway |
350/1(-4275%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Valentine Getaway 350/1, Consistent sort who made the frame again when good second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (25f, good, 4/1) in May. Fell before halfway at Ffos Las since. Claims if none the worse. Fell heavily last time but was second to a big improver two starts ago. |
|||
8th (1)  (450/1 -6329%)Electric Jet |
450/1(-6329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Electric Jet 450/1, Placed in points and has reached the frame on all 3 completed starts over hurdles, showing himself none the worse for a heavy fall at Bangor when third of 14 in 20.5f Southwell maiden 4 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Very respectable third in Southwell maiden last month; could easily have more to offer. |
|||
9th (13)  (450/1 -6329%)Moro Rock |
450/1(-6329%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Moro Rock 450/1, Back to form when 5½ lengths second of 9 to Mattie Ross in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Market Rasen (23f, good) 24 days ago. Ought to be in the thick of things from an unchanged mark. Chased home Mattie Ross at Market Rasen last month; needs another step forward here. |
|||
10th (4)  (200/1 -900%)Moodofthemoment |
200/1(-900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Moodofthemoment 200/1, Modest hurdler/chaser for David Pipe. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations on return from a break for new yard. Very inconsistent maiden under rules but won three consecutive points in the spring. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (300/1 -7400%)Mattie Ross |
300/1(-7400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Mattie Ross 300/1, Gained reward for some creditable efforts this spring when winning 23f Market Rasen handicap 24 days ago by 5½ lengths from reopposing Moro Rock. Ought to remain very competitive up 6 lb. Drew clear of Moro Rock to open hurdling account at Market Rasen last month; respected. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (450/1 -8082%)Grove Road |
450/1(-8082%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Grove Road 450/1, Looked a promising stayer in the making when winning a brace of novice hurdles in late 2022. Largely disappointing since but his mark has come down as a result and last month's stable debut fourth at Newton Abbot wasn't without promise. Respected under Cobden. Stopped the rot when fourth on stable debut; remains on a very good mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Mattie Ross jumped well en route to winning over this distance at Market Rasen last month and appeals despite a 6lb higher mark. While the runner-up in that race, Moro Rock, has a reasonable chance of reversing the form. However, slender preference is for FAHA BELLE, whose two recent second-placed finishes read well in the context of this race. Off just 2lb higher than the most recent of those occasions, she can finally go one better. Astroman and Valentine Getaway also warrant consideration.
FAHA BELLE gets the nod on the back of a pair of runner-up efforts this season. James Owen has booked Harry Cobden for Grove Road who could be a big threat if building on his stable debut fourth. Recent Market Rasen 1-2 Mattie Ross and Moro Rock also make the shortlist.
The suggestion is GROVE ROAD, who seemed to have turned a corner when a close fourth on his recent stable debut.

1st (13)  (13/2 +28%)Robber's Bridge |
13/2(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Robber's Bridge 13/2, Winner of just one of his 17 starts over hurdles but he's been in good form in recent months, again finding just one too good in a 15-runner Ffos Las handicap (2½m, good) last time. Hard to grumble with a 2 lb nudge and this 6-y-o should be competitive once more. Runner-up twice since breakthrough win in March; probably in the mix again. |
|||
2nd (14)  (20/1 -150%)Emanate |
20/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Emanate 20/1, Winner of back-to-back 2 handicaps here last summer and back to form the last twice, making the frame at Fontwell and most recently on first attempt at this trip over C&D 19 days ago. Place possibilities. Won twice over 2m here last summer and gave good account when third over C&D last month. |
|||
3rd (3)  (350/1 -15456%)Chatty Chich |
350/1(-15456%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Chatty Chich 350/1, Has improved since switched to handicaps and faced with a stiffer test, scoring on good ground at Huntingdon (25f) and Fakenham (23.4f) on her last 2 starts. 5 lb rise for latest success looks fair and this progressive hat-trick seeker will have every chance if coping with this drop in trip. Improving mare; drops back in trip in bid to complete a hat-trick; respected. |
|||
4th (1)  (400/1 -8789%)Ascension Day |
400/1(-8789%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Ascension Day 400/1, Lightly-raced maiden who has improved switched to handicaps the last twice, going close at Southwell and this course (both at around 2m on good/good to soft). Moving back up in trip shouldn't be an issue and another bold show likely in a first-time tongue strap. Close second in first two handicaps; moves back up in trip today; likely contender again. |
|||
5th (8)  (350/1 -961%)Esperti |
350/1(-961%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Esperti 350/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler in Ireland for Peter Fahey but he has failed to fire in 5 outings for this yard. Looked badly out of sorts last year; returns from 242-day break here. |
|||
6th (12)  (250/1 -525%)Danny's Friend |
250/1(-525%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Danny's Friend 250/1, Appeared to take a step forward when fourth of 11 at Stratford on the third of his 3 starts in maiden hurdles. However, improvement was not forthcoming on subsequent handicap debut at Ffos Las (15.8f, good) and he has switched yards since. Not beaten far when ninth on handicap debut but clearly needs to do better for new stable. |
|||
7th (6)  (350/1 -2400%)I Shut That D'or |
350/1(-2400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) I Shut That D'or 350/1, Belied odds of 50/1 when taking a Wincanton novice hurdle in January 2023 but it's hard to know what to expect of him back in this sphere following an unsuccessful stint over fences. Has poor completion rate over fences since the autumn; back hurdling today. |
|||
8th (9)  (250/1 -2678%)A Tickatickatiming |
250/1(-2678%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) A Tickatickatiming 250/1, Fair bumper winner and matched that level over hurdles when holding on gamely for success in 2m mares' maiden at this Plumpton (2m, good to soft) in November. Ultimately paid the price for pressing on too hard too far out back there over 20.5f last time and she's by no means discounted. Second to big improver on handicap debut in March; not quite in same form since. |
|||
9th (4)  (350/1 -1650%)Toronet |
350/1(-1650%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Toronet 350/1, Winner of a French claiming hurdle last February (subsequently claimed from Julien Phelippon for €19,999). Creditable efforts in Uttoxeter and Hereford handicaps (both at around this trip) earlier in the year but improvement will be needed if he's to emerge on top here. Twice made the frame on slow ground at start of year; returns from break today. |
|||
10th (5)  (400/1 -1900%)Kayf Legend |
400/1(-1900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Kayf Legend 400/1, Struck at the second attempt over hurdles at Lingfield (2m, good) last February but his efforts since returning from over a year off in March have not been at all inspiring. Back from long absence with two very underwhelming runs this spring. |
|||
11th (11)  (125/1 -681%)Fabreze |
125/1(-681%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Fabreze 125/1, Benefited from a more positive ride (equipped with cheekpieces) when clear-cut winner of a 2½m mares' handicap at Uttoxeter last June. Safely held all 3 subsequent starts and needs to get back on track for new yard following a wind op/10 month absence. Out of form when last seen last summer; makes stable debut today; had wind op in April. |
|||
12th (2)  (350/1 -775%)Fricotin |
350/1(-775%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fricotin 350/1, A fairly useful hurdles/chase winner for Francois Nicolle in 2022 but he hasn't shown much in 3 starts for present yard. Now tried in cheekpieces. Struggled on all three outings last season; back from break with cheeekpieces added. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (300/1 -3900%)Omega |
300/1(-3900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Omega 300/1, Three-time winner on the Flat in Germany and made a winning hurdles bow in France back in March 2022. Comfortably held both starts for new yard in recent months and 17-month absence to overcome but booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye and it'll be interesting to how he fares in the betting. Safely held on both British starts; makes stable debut after 525-day absence. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (450/1 -7400%)Mactavish |
450/1(-7400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mactavish 450/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Hereford (both at 21.7f) last year and back on the scoresheet when making all over this C&D (good) recently. 6 lb rise will ask a question of him but he will be a threat if in a similar mood. Posted career-best performance when scoring by 5l over C&D 12 days ago; a player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Chatty Chich has proved a different proposition since switching to handicap company and she successfully completed a double at Fakenham last time, but this requires more off 5lb higher. With that in mind, the vote goes to ASCENSION DAY, who finished just under four lengths clear of the third when runner-up over 2m here last month. The step back up in trip looks a good move. The seven-year-old can get his career up and running, while last-time-out winner Mactavish is another to watch out for.
While dropping back in trip may not be entirely ideal for CHATTY CHICH, she may well get away with it on this galloping track, with her recent successes at around 3m gained on sharper courses. She is certainly progressive and a 5 lb rise for her latest victory looks manageable. Ascension Day is second choice, while A Tickatickatiming, Emanate, recent C&D winner Mactavish and Robber's Bridge all appealing as live each-way candidates.
After going close over 2m in his first two handicaps, ASCENSION DAY can make his breakthrough over today's longer trip.

1st (2)  (28/1 -250%)Quick Of The Night |
28/1(-250%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Quick Of The Night 28/1, Showed some ability in maiden hurdles and upped her game when third of 9 on handicap bow over this C&D last month. There's a suspicion that she may have been somewhat flattered by her proximity to the first 2 that day but it was nevertheless a step in the right direction. Belied 33-1 odds when keeping-on third over C&D on last month's handicap debut. |
|||
2nd (12)  (7/1 +30%)Vision Of Hope |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Vision Of Hope 7/1, Successful off a 5 lb higher mark at Market Rasen last summer and a line can be drawn through her latest effort there (all but came down at the fourth-last). Possibilities if she puts her best foot forward. Has posted some good efforts in recent months (Flat/hurdles) but didn't fire last time. |
|||
3rd (8)  (15/2 +17%)Culligran |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Culligran 15/2, Some improvement sent handicapping on her last 2 starts, albeit she did disappoint with her finishing effort having looked a big threat at the second-last at Southwell (20.4f, good) last time. Perhaps this drop back in trip will help and she's not without each-way hope. Placed in both her handicaps, and may benefit from today's drop back in trip; shortlisted. |
|||
4th (10)  (80/1 -142%)Well Vicky |
80/1(-142%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Well Vicky 80/1, Won her first 3 handicaps in 2022/23 but has found life tougher since and she's hard to warm to on the back of a poor effort over this C&D last time. Generally very disappointing since her quick hat-trick in February 2023. |
|||
5th (4)  (350/1 -6900%)Karannelle |
350/1(-6900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Karannelle 350/1, Shaped encouragingly in a race not run to suit after 7 months off at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) and she shouldn't be judged too harshly on subsequent display at the same course (race wasn't run to suit). Looks dangerous having slipped to an attractive mark. Needs to be produced with a well-timed challenge but is on a good mark if all goes well. |
|||
6th (5)  (150/1 -2208%)Aviewofthestars |
150/1(-2208%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Aviewofthestars 150/1, Two from 2 upon joining Fergal O'Brien during the autumn and took a step firmly back in the right direction on third run for this yard at Hexham (16.2f, good to soft) in May. Reproduction of that effort would give her a serious each-way chance. C&D winner for Fergal O'Brien and returns here after good effort for new stable in May. |
|||
7th (11)  (400/1 -5614%)Dreaming Diamond |
400/1(-5614%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Dreaming Diamond 400/1, Pulled up both starts in hunters for Paul King but showed more when third back hurdling on first start since rejoining this yard at Huntingdon in May. Though not in the same form in a handicap chase next time, she could have a part to play here with cheekpieces refitted/tongue strap applied. Placed in maiden hurdle in May but safely held over fences since; hard to predict. |
|||
8th (9)  (100/1 -1011%)Pump It Up |
100/1(-1011%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pump It Up 100/1, Winner of Hereford maiden hurdle back in February 2022 and placed in 2m handicaps on her last 3 starts, including when runner-up on return from a year off at Fakenham in March. Couldn't rule out off the same mark with that run under her belt. Returned from one-year absence with pretty good second in March; not out of this. |
|||
9th (7)  (450/1 -4400%)Ryder's Rock |
450/1(-4400%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Ryder's Rock 450/1, Remains winless following 9 attempts but, to her credit, she has finished in the money on 4 occasions, including when third in a 10-runner Stratford handicap (16.3f, good to soft) last time. Still, more will be needed if she's to open her account. Placed on two of her three starts this year; a possible if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |
|||
|U| (1)  (150/1 -5900%)Vitani |
150/1(-5900%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Vitani 150/1, Won 2 juvenile hurdles for Adam West last summer and while she has failed to fire in 2 starts for present connections, this represents a significant drop in class. One to monitor closely in the betting. Well beaten on first two starts for Dan Skelton but drops steeply in grade today. |
|||
10th (6)  (100/1 -300%)Olivia Kate |
100/1(-300%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Olivia Kate 100/1, Well held in bumpers and while she has shown ability in maiden/novice company in this sphere, a sizeable step forward will be needed if she's to ruffle feathers now pitched into a handicap. Made the frame twice over C&D last month; can be competitive again on handicap debut. |
|||
11th (3)  (450/1 -1700%)Hedera Park |
450/1(-1700%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hedera Park 450/1, Reached the frame 3 times in maiden/novice hurdles before improving to make a winning handicap debut over 2½m here in September. However, a trio of heavy defeats have followed and she now finds herself with a bit to prove. C&D winner in September but returned from break with two underwhelming runs here in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
RYDER'S ROCK caught the eye when she got up for third over an extended 2m at Stratford on her latest outing and she goes off an unchanged mark. Joe Tizzard's mare sports first-time cheekpieces, which could eke out the improvement required to score. The main danger is Quick Of The Night, who produced a much better effort to finish third over track and trip last time, while Aviewofthestars is another to note.
It will be worth noting if VITANI is strong in the market, having dropped 4 lb in the weights since her latest start, which was in a Grade 3 Cheltenham handicap. She could be seen in an altogether different light now dropped in class on what will be just her third start for the Skelton yard. Karannelle has also edged down the weights and is one of several dangers, along with Pump It Up and Dreaming Diamond.
The most interesting one is VITANI, who will find this race much easier than the two valuable handicaps she contested in the spring.

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.
