(4)  ( )Harry's Hope |
() |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Harry's Hope , Irish point winner who showed more than previously under Rules when fourth of 9 in maiden hurdle (17f) in January. Hit the frame last 2 starts in handicaps to end the season and given her pedigree, fences may see her in a better light. Has come down in the weights and could do better as a chaser; considered.. |
|||
1st (7)  (15/2 +17%)Henry Box Brown |
15/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Henry Box Brown 15/2, Opened his account over hurdles at Uttoxeter in December 2022. Mixed record since, following runner-up effort at Stratford in June with a brace of lesser efforts. Down another 3lb but comes with risks and has yet to prove he stays this far.. |
|||
2nd (5)  (16/1 -14%)Famous Last Word |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Famous Last Word 16/1, Very lightly raced for a 9-y-o and didn't convince in a couple of starts over fences during early 2023. Has a good deal to prove returning from another lengthy absence. Returns from a second long absence and probably best watched unless strong in the market.. |
|||
3rd (14)  (33/1 +0%)Kayf Baha |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) Kayf Baha 33/1, Winning Irish pointer but no worthwhile form under Rules. Hard to make a case for reverting to fences from out of the weights.. |
|||
4th (2)  (11/4 +39%)Lost Connections |
11/4(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lost Connections 11/4, Landed a 2m4f mares' handicap chase at Ludlow last season. Rather in and out since, often ridden with restraint but she stuck to her task when fourth over C&D last month. Sound claims. Sole win came off this mark last year; a couple of respectable efforts in July. |
|||
5th (8)  (12/1 +40%)Miss Marette |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Miss Marette 12/1, Came good in a weak mares' maiden at Exeter last autumn but has just the one creditable effort to her name in handicaps since. Others are preferred on chase debut. Out of form so far this year and needs to lift her game on chase debut.. |
|||
6th (3)  (10/1 +60%)Politicianspromise |
10/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Politicianspromise 10/1, Tailed off in a maiden hurdle in Ireland in 2021 and won once from 10 starts in points subsequently. Little in the way of promise upon return to Rules this year, brushed aside on handicap/chase debut in June. Cheekpieces fitted. Modest form on handicap/chase debut (2m1f); should be suited by step back up in trip. |
|||
7th (11)  (22/1 -57%)School For Scandal |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) School For Scandal 22/1, Not the most reliable. Bounced back to form when second at Hereford in February but not the biggest surprise that he's failed to reproduce that in his 4 outings since. Has regressed and bled from the nose latest; has something to prove.. |
|||
8th (10)  (22/1 -389%)Invincible Wish |
22/1(-389%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Invincible Wish 22/1, Veteran who confirmed he's back in good order when finally shedding maiden status at Stratford last month. Overall profile more of an issue than 3 lb rise. Gained a hard-fought win at Stratford latest; leading player back up 3lb. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (11/4 +8%)She Has Notions |
11/4(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) She Has Notions 11/4, Left previous efforts behind when scoring over this C&D in early July. Consistency hasn't been his strong suit this far but he needs considering on the back of that. Off the mark over C&D last month on just his third try over fences; up 5lb but respected.. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (12/1 +14%)Walkingoneggshells |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Walkingoneggshells 12/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who hinted at promise first 2 starts over fences but took a major backward step over C&D last week (made a bad mistake). Needs to cut out the errors. Has made little impact in three starts over fences; others have stronger claims.. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (18/1 -29%)Sinister Minister |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sinister Minister 18/1, Finally got the job done when accounting for 5 rivals in a conditional jockeys' handicap at Bangor (20.3f, soft) in October. Let down by jumping first 2 starts back and then threw in a shocker at Uttoxeter. Back down in trip. Won at Bangor off 3lb higher in October but he's hard to recommend on recent form.. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (25/1 +0%)Beannaigh Do |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Beannaigh Do 25/1, Has gone the wrong way since chase debut and he's a long way out of the handicap here. 19-race maiden; out of the weights but not entirely ruled out on peak efforts. |
|||
|PU| (12)  (50/1 -52%)Mr Sociable |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Mr Sociable 50/1, Well held in 3 outings over hurdles back from a long absence in 2022/23 and fared no better last season, including over fences on his 3 most recent starts. Easy enough to look elsewhere from out of the weights fitted with blinkers. Has shown little over fences and needs the new headgear to bring about big improvement.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SHE HAS NOTIONS accounted for his nearest rival by over two lengths in this grade over C&D last month and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 5lb for that triumph. Martin Keighley's seven-year-old looks to have lots in his favour and will prove tough to beat. Lost Connections has finished fourth on each of her last two starts over track and trip and she could get closer off the same mark. Stratford winner Invincible Wish is another to keep an eye on.
LOST CONNECTIONS is a pretty consistent operator at this sort of level, something that cannot be said for most of these, so she rates the percentage call. Harrys Hope is a potential improver switched to fences following a break, with last month's C&D scorer She Has Notions another to consider.
A tricky opener so it's probably best to side with the two last-time-out winners SHE HAS NOTIONS (nap) and Invincible Wish.

1st (2)  (13/2 -189%)Kinondo Kwetu |
13/2(-189%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kinondo Kwetu 13/2, Snapped a run of poor form when landing a 5-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good to firm), despite making a number of mistakes. The emphasis on stamina won't be so pronounced here but that's by no means a deal-breaker and he won't go down without a fight if in a similar mood. Regained the winning thread at Uttoxeter latest; strong claims off an unchanged mark.. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/1 -122%)Hang In There |
5/1(-122%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Hang In There 5/1, Produced a high-class effort to defy a BHA mark of 155 in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good to soft) in June. Beaten 10½ lengths behind Kinondo Kwetu over the same C&D since but he's 2-2 here, the drop back in trip may help and he'll have every chance if settling (too free last time). Eight chase wins; ran respectably off this mark behind Kinondo Kwetu latest; big player.. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 +42%)Pull Again Green |
7/2(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Pull Again Green 7/2, Opened chase account in good style at Bangor (3m, good) last August before chasing home subsequent Cheltenham Festival scorer Chianti Classico at Chepstow. Well held over hurdles the last twice but trip/ground fine and capable of a very bold show if he puts his best foot forward back in this sphere. Capable 8yo but tailed off over hurdles latest; reverts to fences with something to prove.. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 -56%)Go On Chez |
7/1(-56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Go On Chez 7/1, Back-to-back hunter winner during the spring but never looked like justifying favouritism in the Summer Plate won by Hang In There at Uttoxeter when last seen in June. Out of the weights but capable claimer booked and conditions likely to be ideal.. |
|||
5th (4)  (5/2 +67%)Vintage Fizz |
5/2(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Vintage Fizz 5/2, Twice a winner of small-field handicap chases at around 2½m in 2023, and went close at Market Rasen on the second of his 3 starts since returning from a break in May. This return to a left-handed track will help but a career-best will be needed if he's to prevail here from 4 lb out of the handicap. Worth a try over this longer trip but isn't favoured at the weights.. |
|||
6th (6)  (11/2 +45%)Tiger Orchid |
11/2(+45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Tiger Orchid 11/2, Enhanced excellent record here when winning an 8-runner C&D handicap back from a break last month. However, he was put in his place in a lesser race than this at Perth since and is 7 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Three-time C&D winner but more required on this rise in class from out of the handicap.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
KINONDO KWETU had Hang In There (third) behind when scoring by half a length over 3m2f at Uttoxeter last month and, with this drop back in trip unlikely to pose any problems, Sam England's charge can record the double. As for the latter, he could take closer order if he settles better this time around. Vintage Fizz is also worth a second look after his sixth in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen.
Probably best to focus on the trio in the handicap proper and PULL AGAIN GREEN could be worth chancing now returned to the larger obstacles. Kinondo Kwetu resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter with the re-opposing Hang In There back in third and while the latter may well finish closer this time, Sam England's charge is feared most.
Kinondo Kwetu is respected having beaten HANG IN THERE at Uttoxeter last month but the selection had a plausible excuse there.

1st (2)  (5/6 +100%)Queen Of The Vale |
5/6(+100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Queen Of The Vale 5/6, Won 12-runner bumper (10/3) at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 58 days ago, kept up to work to score with something to spare. Should put up a bold bid to defy the penalty. Didn't go unbacked when making pretty much all for a 2l success here two months ago. |
|||
2nd (7)  (11/2 +31%)Crazy About Her |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Crazy About Her 11/2, Vadamos filly. Dam fairly useful 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Wears hood. Worth considering. Dam 1m2f winner (RPR 77), half-sister to 1m6f Listed winner Primitivo; hooded for debut. |
|||
3rd (1)  (11/1 -267%)Versace Twentyone |
11/1(-267%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Versace Twentyone 11/1, Maiden pointer who defied odds of 20/1 to make a successful Rules debut in a Roscommon bumper. Well ridden that day and has left a top yard since, but can't be dismissed. Nicked a clear lead and just held on to win on good ground at Roscommon for Gordon Elliott. |
|||
4th (10)  (14/1 -40%)Polly Pi |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Polly Pi 14/1, Doesn't make much appeal on pedigree but there was some encouragement in her debut sixth at Uttoxeter. Should build on that. Midfield finish at Uttoxeter (good) offered something for the future and should improve. |
|||
5th (4)  (20/1 +0%)Heather Honey |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Heather Honey 20/1, Not much promise in her debut fourth at Wetherby 7 months ago and looks the sort to develop further down the line. Fourth of 11 on soft ground at Wetherby in January but was beaten a distance. |
|||
6th (5)  (17/2 +15%)Shakiyra |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shakiyra 17/2, Backed off the boards but held back by inexperience when last of 5 at Newton Abbot on debut last year, then showed a bit more when sixth to Queen of The Vale over C&D 58 days ago. Unlikely to turn that form around. Costly failure on debut and was a onepaced sixth behind Queen Of The Vale here last time. |
|||
7th (3)  (50/1 -25%)Beorma |
50/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Beorma 50/1, Doyen mare. Dam, showed nothing sole start in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Firebird Flyer. Others are more appealing. Second foal; dam well beaten in bumper/2m4f hurdle; likely best watched. |
|||
8th (6)  (13/2 +68%)Brionywells |
13/2(+68%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Brionywells 13/2, Out of a winning chaser but there were few positives to be gleaned from her debut at Newbury 8 months ago. Has left Fergal O'Brien since. Ex-Fergal O'Brien; tailed off in a soft-ground Newbury bumper (28-1) before Christmas. |
|||
9th (8)  (33/1 -136%)Dancing Green |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Dancing Green 33/1, Telescope filly. Half-sister to useful 23f hurdle winner Doc Penfro, stayed 25f, and fair 3¼m hurdle winner/fairly useful staying chaser Juniper. Wears hood. Likely to need time and distance. Half-sister to winners Doc Penfro (2m7f hurdle) and Juniper (2m5f-3m2f hurdle/chase). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
QUEEN OF THE VALE made a highly encouraging bumper debut when scoring by two lengths over C&D last month and she could take a big step forward from that triumph. Jamie Snowden's four-year-old looks well placed to carry her penalty to success. Versace Twentyone is a fascinating contender on her first start for the Sheila Lewis stable after making a victorious debut under Rules at Roscommon last month and it will be interesting to see how she fares in the betting market, while Heather Honey can improve from her debut fourth in January.
QUEEN OF THE VALE made all in good style on debut here 2 months ago, showing an encouraging amount of speed for one bred to be suited by further, and she can defy a penalty. Versace Twentyone is a big player for a new yard, while Crazy About Her is a newcomer to note.
The two previous winners look the safest options and QUEEN OF THE VALE showed a good attitude here two months ago.

1st (8)  (6/5 +31%)Letterston Lily |
6/5(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Letterston Lily 6/5, Bumper winner at the third attempt who followed up in 6-runner mares' novice (3/1) at Cartmel (17f, good to soft) on hurdle debut in June. Chased home the useful Gale Mahler at Market Rasen (20.5f) since. Likely capable of even better. Chased home a subsequent Listed winner at Market Rasen; high on the list.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (10/1 -67%)Ebony Warrior |
10/1(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ebony Warrior 10/1, Made little impact in a brace of bumpers but different story in 2m hurdles here this summer, building on debut third when scoring by 4 lengths 5 weeks ago. Up in trip. Likely has more to offer. Has to defy a penalty for his recent course win but could improve for this longer trip.. |
|||
3rd (1)  (6/4 +0%)Al Gasparo |
6/4(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Al Gasparo 6/4, Produced a useful effort when making all in a Killarney maiden in May. Raced too freely when fifth in listed hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good, 3/1) 11 weeks later but big shout here if back to the Killarney form. Made all at Killarney in May; well held in Listed company latest but this is easier.. |
|||
4th (3)  (11/2 +31%)Full Monty |
11/2(+31%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Full Monty 11/2, Progressive form over hurdles, winning 2½m Uttoxeter maiden (good to firm) last month. From a leading stable so there could be more to come. Progressing well and broke the course record when opening his account latest, respected.. |
|||
5th (4)  (150/1 -127%)Connolly |
150/1(-127%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Connolly 150/1, Well held in bumpers and over hurdles. Booked for another struggle. Well beaten at huge odds on both completed hurdling starts (2m3f/2m).. |
|||
6th (9)  (150/1 -355%)Hurley Girly |
150/1(-355%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Hurley Girly 150/1, Third on bumper debut in April but beaten a long way in another bumper and 2 course hurdles since. Makes little appeal having been beaten a long way on both starts over hurdles.. |
|||
7th (6)  (33/1 -65%)Matchadam |
33/1(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Matchadam 33/1, Point winner. Tongue tied and showed promise when fourth of 13 in a Hereford bumper on Rules debut last autumn but well held in 2 outings over hurdles this summer and probably more one for handicaps after this. Point winner who's been beaten wide margins on both starts over hurdles; others preferred.. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (125/1 -150%)Absence Of Malice |
125/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Absence Of Malice 125/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers ahead of this switch to hurdles. Letterston Lily looks very much the stable first string. Well beaten in two bumpers and best watched now hurdling.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LETTERSTON LILY lost little in defeat when finding only subsequent Irish Listed scorer Gale Mahler too strong at Market Rasen last month and compensation could be imminent. Although Al Gasparo finished in fifth behind that winner at Galway, he could be dangerous if gaining an easy lead. Gavin Cromwell's charge is unlikely here to just make up the numbers and he's feared most, ahead of fellow penalised winners Ebony Warrior and Full Monty.
Gavin Cromwell Irish raider AL GASPARO gets a narrow vote ahead Letterston Lily, who bumped into the useful Gale Mahler at Market Rasen last time. Last month's 2m course scorer Ebony Warrior may prove best of the remainder.
Al Gasparo isn't passed over lightly but preference is for LETTERSTON LILY who chased home a subsequent Listed winner last time.

1st (3)  (5/1 +0%)Kitesurfer |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kitesurfer 5/1, French juvenile winner in 2022 who got off the mark at the fifth time of asking for current yard when taking 6-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell in June. Yet to make his move when falling 4 out at Uttoxeter since. Fontwell winner who was going okay when falling off this 5lb higher mark at Uttoxeter. |
|||
2nd (7)  (5/1 +0%)Hillsin |
5/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Hillsin 5/1, Certainly wasn't winning out of turn at Newton Abbot (18.5f) in May and duly followed up over 2½m here in June. Another good effort when second of 14 over 23f at Uttoxeter last month. Has to be respected in his current mood. Came up short in his hat-trick bid at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) but again ran well. |
|||
3rd (6)  (7/1 -40%)Mahler Moon |
7/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Mahler Moon 7/1, In top hands and looked to be getting his act together over hurdles when placed in 3m handicaps at Doncaster and Newbury at the beginning of 2024. Disappointing at Southwell in April but capable of bouncing back after a break. Still a maiden but has a good chance if back to his best after a break. |
|||
4th (8)  (4/1 +20%)Kiss My Face |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Kiss My Face 4/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap over C&D (good) 34 days ago, forging clear to win by a whopping 31 lengths. A 10 lb rise may not stop him. Won by a distance here last time in a race that fell apart; raised 10lb. |
|||
5th (10)  (17/2 +39%)No Way Pedro |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) No Way Pedro 17/2, C&D winner in July. Good third under a penalty back here a week later but needs to shrug off a lesser run (C&D again) last week. Hat-trick last year and back to that sort of level this summer; excuses here last week. |
|||
6th (5)  (17/2 +39%)Craven Bay |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Craven Bay 17/2, Progressive last summer, culminating with a C&D maiden win. Off 11 months, made a respectable start to his handicap career when sixth of 14 in a 23f Uttoxeter handicap 33 days ago. Entitled to come on for the outing. C&D maiden winner; well beaten after a long break on handicap debut at Uttoxeter. |
|||
7th (4)  (12/1 -50%)Red Hugh |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Red Hugh 12/1, Point winner who reached the frame in 2 bumpers in Ireland for Emmet Mullins and has made a promising start to his hurdle career at this course for his new yard in recent months, taking a maiden over this trip 6 weeks ago. Brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut. Recent C&D maiden winner and this mark might be okay on handicap debut. |
|||
8th (1)  (16/1 -129%)Art Approval |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Art Approval 16/1, His losing run goes back nearly 3 years but he was placed over C&D and at Stratford for Ralph Smith this summer. Claims if showing up in the same form for his new trainer. Can go well again off this mark provided another change of stable doesn't rock the boat. |
|||
9th (11)  (9/1 +73%)Emotional Roller |
9/1(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Emotional Roller 9/1, First sign of promise under Rules when third of 12 on 2½m Wetherby handicap debut on Boxing Day. Fell next time and didn't offer much obvious encouragement in 2 comeback outings in June. Placed on Boxing Day but has to get back on track following subsequent disappointments. |
|||
10th (2)  (22/1 -38%)Ballinsker |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Ballinsker 22/1, Successful over fences at Ffos Las (19f, good to soft) in April but not in the same form back there in May. Reverts to hurdles after a 3-month break. Back over hurdles and has the form to feature, but he's become hard to predict. |

|PU| (12)  (33/1 -136%)Princess Unique |
33/1(-136%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Princess Unique 33/1, First form over hurdles when fourth of 9 in handicap at Market Rasen (20.5f, good to firm, 40/1) 52 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. 9 lb out of the weights so needs big improvement to go close. 9lb wrong but 5lb claimer employed and she's unexposed over staying distances. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Although it was too early to tell how competitive KITESURFER would have been when falling at the ninth hurdle at Uttoxeter last month, he likely has more to come over staying distances judged on his penultimate 3m2f victory at Fontwell. Jamie Snowden's gelding is fancied to go close if over that mishap and he edges the verdict ahead of Hillsin. The six-year-old finished second in the same race as the selection's fall and another prominent showing is forecast. Last-time-out C&D winners Red Hugh and Kiss My Face are also noted.
KISS MY FACE had them so well strung out over C&D last month that even a 10 lb rise is potentially lenient. The thriving Hillsin, last month's C&D maiden winner Red Hugh and Dan Skelton's Mahler Moon head the many possible dangers in a competitive race.
An open race. MAHLER MOON has had a break since his latest below-par run and he had previously improved for going up in distance.

1st (1)  (10/1 -43%)Pisgah Pike |
10/1(-43%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Pisgah Pike 10/1, Arrives in decent nick, eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Not ruled out off a 2 lb lower mark. This is easier than the latest Class 2 he contested and he wasn't disgraced then. |
|||
2nd (8)  (10/1 +29%)Shelikesthelights |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shelikesthelights 10/1, Had a wind op before being pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 132 days ago. A fair 2m winner at his best but he needs to bounce back. Has lost her way since winning twice early last year and now has a lot to prove. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/2 -64%)Jumeirah King |
9/2(-64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Jumeirah King 9/2, Bagged his second C&D win this summer in 7-runner novice (good) 41 days ago. Remains handily weighted back in handicap company so merits serious consideration. Third in a handicap before making all in a C&D novice most recently. |
|||
4th (10)  (17/2 -21%)Jack The Savage |
17/2(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Jack The Savage 17/2, Comes here in decent form without winning, third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, soft) 42 days ago. Merits consideration off an easing mark. Well handicapped and it was a respectable run at Uttoxeter last time when only 4l away. |
|||
5th (2)  (10/1 -100%)Donnie Azoff |
10/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Donnie Azoff 10/1, Got back on track when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Can give another good account despite a 2 lb rise. First and second over hurdles on either side of a return to fences. |
|||
6th (4)  (7/1 +30%)Playtogetaway |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Playtogetaway 7/1, C&D winner who posted a creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Needs considering. Had no obvious excuses when behind Donnie Azoff at Uttoxeter. |
|||
7th (3)  (4/1 +20%)Grivetana |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Grivetana 4/1, Made a winning start for new connections at Southwell (15.8f) in May and in good nick since, fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cartmel (17.2f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Merits respect once more. Resurgent for new yard and it was in a higher grade when an 8l fourth at Cartmel. |
|||
8th (6)  (11/2 +8%)Doctor Parnassus |
11/2(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Doctor Parnassus 11/2, Off 6 months/rejoined former yard (formerly with Richard O'Brien) when a below-par sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 45 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with more required. Dropped out at Stratford on return for former yard and doesn't look as good as he was. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (10/1 +29%)Sea Prince |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Sea Prince 10/1, C&D winner in June but only seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Recent C&D winner but opposable on his latest Uttoxeter run when behind Donnie Azoff. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (33/1 -32%)Call Me Rocky |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Call Me Rocky 33/1, Bagged a pair of wins for Milton Harris last summer but well held all three starts for Syd Hosie, pulled up on his chasing bow at Stratford in June. Needs this yard switch to spark a resurgence. Well treated but lost his way badly after leaving Milton Harris and tried chasing latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Both of JUMEIRAH KING's victories over timber have come over C&D and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal on his second attempt in handicap company. Anthony Honeyball's gelding is capable of further improvement and gets the vote at the main expense of Donnie Azoff, who finished second at Uttoxeter last time when switched back to hurdles. Others for the shortlist include Grivetana and Sea Prince.
A few with chances but JUMEIRAH KING remains on a lenient mark on the back of his C&D novice success so gets the vote. Grivetana continues in good form for Harry Derham and heads the list of dangers, while in-form duo Pisgah Pike and Playtogetaway also need factoring in. Jack The Savage completes the shortlist.
Jumeirah King is getting it together over hurdles but PISGAH PIKE is respected after a fair effort in better company last time.

1st (4)  (4/1 -33%)My Chiquita |
4/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) My Chiquita 4/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who came in an excellent second at Aintree (2m4f) in May. In good nick since on the Flat so he's very much one to consider back in this sphere. Four good runs over hurdles and has continued to run well on the Flat; has a chance. |
|||
2nd (6)  (11/2 +21%)Finisk River |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Finisk River 11/2, C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (18.7f, good) 45 days ago. One to consider off a falling mark. Handicapper is relenting and latest Stratford run wasn't too shoddy. |
|||
3rd (8)  (17/2 -42%)Pop The Champagne |
17/2(-42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Pop The Champagne 17/2, Course winner who wasn't disgraced when sixth in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Possibilities back in this sphere. Placed in her last two handicap hurdles and mark hasn't really gone anywhere. |
|||
4th (11)  (12/1 +14%)Presenting Pete |
12/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Presenting Pete 12/1, Pulled up both runs this summer, in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Needs to take a major step forward. Won last summer off a higher mark but hard to trust after two non-completions. |
|||
5th (10)  (12/1 -20%)I Am Gonna Be |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) I Am Gonna Be 12/1, Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner at his best but he was well below par when fifth of 10 in handicap chase over C&D 41 days ago. Switches to hurdles with work to do. Mixed over fences since joining this yard and now returns from a third wind operation. |
|||
6th (5)  (14/1 -40%)Breaking Waves |
14/1(-40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Breaking Waves 14/1, Untrustworthy individual who followed Uttoxeter victory in June with a below-form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Others appeal more. Looked good at Uttoxeter but then blew out next time; has become hard to predict. |
|||
7th (3)  (7/1 +42%)Magic Seven |
7/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Magic Seven 7/1, Dual 2m4f winner at Hereford last season but came in last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good) 82 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Bumper and dual hurdle winner, but has found life very tough in handicaps. |
|||
8th (12)  (12/1 -100%)Thahab Ifraj |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Thahab Ifraj 12/1, Scored over hurdles at Exeter (17.7f) in October, 2023, and not disgraced in two runs on the Flat this summer. Not ruled out back in this sphere. Won his final race over hurdles; just okay on the Flat since then but has a chance. |
|||
9th (1)  (11/2 +21%)Manorbank |
11/2(+21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Manorbank 11/2, Back in good form, still in touch when stumbled and fell after 2 out in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21f, good) 109 days ago. Enters calculations. Finding it hard work when falling at Warwick in early May; dropped in grade, though. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (15/2 -7%)Hardy Fella |
15/2(-7%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Hardy Fella 15/2, Scored over fences at Fontwell in November but pulled up for second consecutive start in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good to firm) in April. Reverts to hurdles after a break with a bit to prove. The return to hurdling will probably be welcomed and there's nothing wrong with his mark. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (33/1 +0%)Sporty Jim |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Sporty Jim 33/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who has yet to fire for his current yard, sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle here (23f, good to soft) 76 days ago. It's easy to look elsewhere. Pulled up in two chases for this yard before finishing well behind over hurdles. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Pop The Champagne has run with credit on both attempts over hurdles this summer and the eight-year-old is likely to benefit from stepping up in trip. Manorbank remains open to improvement, but the vote goes to MY CHIQUITA. Runner-up at Aintree in May, a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop her from gaining a third career success in this sphere.
MY CHIQUITA made a highly encouraging start over hurdles last term and is fancied to resume in style in this sphere after a good stint on the Flat this summer. Manorbank could emerge as the main danger after his mishap at Warwick last time, although Thahab Ifraj, Pop The Champagne and Finisk River also need considering in this open handicap.
It might pay to risk HARDY FELLA who will be glad to see the back of fences and there's nothing wrong with his hurdle 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.
