---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (10) (14/1 +30%) Getthepot |
14/1(+30%) | (10) Getthepot 14/1, Successful twice in handicap chases at Huntingdon in 2022 and best effort since when runner-up at Exeter (19.2f) last October. Well held all 3 starts this summer, however. His three runs this summer (latest behind Ginger Pointe) do not suggest his turn is near. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/2 +38%) Get With It |
5/2(+38%) | (6) Get With It 5/2, Dual chase scorer around 3m. Below par last season and sold from Rose Dobbin £6,000 in May. Gambled on but just respectable start for this yard when fourth at Uttoxeter, the combination of a longer trip and a 5-month absence possibly telling late on. Better expected. Respectable 4th at Uttoxeter (favourite) on stable debut, shaping as if 3m2f stretched him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (16/1 +20%) Pawpaw |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Pawpaw 16/1, Mark continues to fall but he's a moody customer nowadays so best to look elsewhere. Couple of better signs this summer, notably when out of the handicap on penultimate start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (4/1 +0%) Ginger Pointe |
4/1(+0%) | (8) Ginger Pointe 4/1, Bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt when making a winning chase debut at Market Rasen for new yard 2 weeks ago, shaping as if there could be even better to come. Needs considering. Clearcut win at Market Rasen (2m6f, good) 15 days ago on chase/stable debut; back up 8lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (18/1 +45%) Helios Allen |
18/1(+45%) | (14) Helios Allen 18/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Jane Williams but has offered little for this yard since returning from 16 months off. Hurtling down the weights this summer for new yard and some ability remains. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (16/1 -129%) Man Of The House |
16/1(-129%) | (12) Man Of The House 16/1, Poor maiden who seems to be going through the motions currently. Some creditable shows over fences under Paddy Hanlon this summer; considered each-way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (66/1 -100%) Badbad Leroy Brown |
66/1(-100%) | (5) Badbad Leroy Brown 66/1, Fair winner over hurdles in 2016/17 for Oliver Greenall. Multiple winning pointer since but well held back under Rules/switched to fences both starts this summer. 5-17 in points, no win in that sphere since April 2022; others have more pressing claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (9/1 -50%) Dindin |
9/1(-50%) | (1) Dindin 9/1, Successful over C&D last summer and runner-up on 3 occasions after. Decent comeback third at Newton Abbot and entitled to come on for that. Very inconsistent in recent years but latest win was C&D (last June); regular places since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (40/1 -60%) Backinaction |
40/1(-60%) | (3) Backinaction 40/1, Irish point winner who stepped forward from his hurdles debut when fourth in a Taunton novice (19f) in April. However, he hasn't gone on from that effort this season and made an inauspicious start over fences latest. Well beaten when unseating two out on chase debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f) ten days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (5/1 +17%) Macavity |
5/1(+17%) | (4) Macavity 5/1, Bumper winner. Yet to score over jumps but latest second at Perth was his best effort yet over fences. More needed again. Placed in good-ground handicap chases at Uttoxeter (3m2f) and Perth (3m) last two outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (11/2 +21%) We Got Your Back |
11/2(+21%) | (13) We Got Your Back 11/2, Winless but has been given a chance by the handicapper and not seen to best effect when third at Market Rasen 2 weeks ago. Shortlisted. 10l third of 11 to Ginger Pointe at Market Rasen 15 days ago on his third run over fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GINGER POINTE accounted for We Got Your Back (third) when victorious by over four lengths in this grade at Market Rasen last time and he may have more to offer on only his second start for the Danny Brooke yard. The seven-year-old is 8lb higher for that triumph and can record a double. The King Of May got his head back in front at Cartmel in July and could land a blow, while Dindin is another to keep an eye on.
GET WITH IT shaped well on the back of a stable switch (formerly with Rose Dobbin) when fourth at Uttoxeter on his return and better is expected now back down in trip. Ginger Pointe showed improved form when making a winning chase debut for his new yard at Market Rasen and should have more to offer, while We Got Your Back wasn't seen to best effect when third in the same race and is lurking on a dangerous mark.
Get With It made an encouraging first run for Dan Skelton but the selection is GINGER POINTE, who impressed with his recent win.

1st (1) (4/1 +0%) Next Left |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Next Left 4/1, Landed 2m4f chase at Warwick and not disgraced when fourth of 6 in 3m Uttoxeter handicap chase later in May. May do better after a break so he's very much one to consider. Won on chasing debut in May; not quite in same form last time but remains of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 -17%) A Definite Getaway |
7/2(-17%) | (2) A Definite Getaway 7/2, Got off the mark on his chasing bow in 13-runner handicap over C&D (good) 38 days ago, holding on gamely. Should have more to offer. Well in the mix. Beat his 12 rivals to make winning chase debut over C&D in July; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (4/1 -33%) Climbing |
4/1(-33%) | (5) Climbing 4/1, Shaped encouragingly sent chasing after 10 months off/wind op when second of 11 in handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, good) 42 days ago. Holds good claims up just 1 lb. Unexposed 6yo who made a very promising chase/handicap debut at Stratford in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (28/1 -250%) Fame And Fun |
28/1(-250%) | (6) Fame And Fun 28/1, Scored over fences at Plumpton in March but unseated rider 7th in handicap chase at this course (16.5f, good) 13 days ago. Back up in trip and no forlorn hope. Not much has gone to plan since his Plumpton win in March; others have much less to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/4 +45%) Police Academy |
11/4(+45%) | (4) Police Academy 11/4, Made a fine start for Fergal O'Brien, winning 3 of her first 4 starts over hurdles, and started well for current yard in this sphere when second of 11 in handicap chase over C&D (good, 13/2) 13 days ago. Should progress. Triple hurdle winner; creditable second over C&D when back over fences last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (16/1 -33%) Illogical Logic |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Illogical Logic 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was pulled up in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Fontwell (21.8f, good) 98 days ago. Placed in points so possibilities on his chase debut. 0-6 over hurdles; might fare better over fences but makes chase debut in competitive race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/2 +21%) Sleeping Satellite |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Sleeping Satellite 11/2, Went backwards from his chasing bow when last of 7 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good, 9/2) 65 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Close second to progressive rival on chasing debut; well beaten next time; still a factor. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A DEFINITE GETAWAY made a successful chase debut over track and trip in July and may take a step forward for that experience. Peter and Michael Bowen's six-year-old has possibly been let off lightly with a 5lb rise for that victory and he could be the one to beat. The main threat might be Police Academy, who took the silver medal home in this grade over C&D on her most recent outing and should go well off 1lb higher. Climbing isn't ruled out either after his second at Stratford.
None of these can be ruled out but CLIMBING showed the benefit of a wind op when a promising second at Stratford on his chasing bow and can build on it here to open his account at the chief expense of Police Academy, who also looks to have better days ahead of her. A Definite Getaway and Next Left both need factoring in too.
This may look a competitive race for the grade but CLIMBING (nap) makes strong appeal following his very promising chase/handicap debut.

1st (7) (4/1 +11%) Roll With It |
4/1(+11%) | (7) Roll With It 4/1, Hurdles winner for Richard Spencer last summer and he opened his account in this sphere for his current yard at Cartmel (25.5f) in June. Solid third of 11 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) 43 days ago so he's very much one to consider. 1st and a creditable 3rd with cheekpieces enlisted for his last two outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (13/2 +24%) Almazhar Garde |
13/2(+24%) | (3) Almazhar Garde 13/2, Scored at Bangor in June and posted a respectable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at this C&D (good) 38 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Ought to be in the shake-up. Bangor (3m, good) in June saw his first win for over three years; respectable C&D fourth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/1 +18%) Ajp Kingdom |
7/1(+18%) | (2) Ajp Kingdom 7/1, Made mistakes when only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at this C&D (good to firm) 62 days ago. Needs to jump better if he's to get off the mark in this sphere. One good effort over fences and two poor ones; made a jumping mistake last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/1 +9%) Topofthecotswolds |
10/1(+9%) | (1) Topofthecotswolds 10/1, C&D winner. 5/2, below-par third of 5 in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f, good to soft) 10 months ago. Handily weighted though if fully tuned up for his return. Placed form last summer gives him a major shout and he can go well fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (13/2 +35%) Edison Kent |
13/2(+35%) | (5) Edison Kent 13/2, Back to his best when scoring over hurdles at Uttoxeter in June but he's a tricky customer and has twice failed to back it up. Reverts to chasing now but others are more appealing. Switches from hurdles to try to make the most of lower mark; chase runs aren't convincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (8) (4/1 -60%) Happy Du Mesnil |
4/1(-60%) | (8) Happy Du Mesnil 4/1, Maiden hurdler who has got his act together over fences, winning novice handicap at Southwell before good runner-up efforts there and at Bangor on his next 2 starts. Firmly in the picture again. In the frame over fences all five starts for current stable; 2nd when upped to 3m latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (11/1 -38%) Swapped |
11/1(-38%) | (4) Swapped 11/1, Course winner who got back on track when fourth of 6 in handicap chase (20/1) at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Can give another good account. Latest performance gives him a chance and he had better form twice last autumn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (11/2 +39%) Magic Dancer |
11/2(+39%) | (9) Magic Dancer 11/2, Course winner who arrives in good nick, third of 10 in handicap chase over C&D (good, 14/1) 11 days ago. This veteran can make his presence felt once more. Veteran; third in three of his last four starts; ran on from off the pace over C&D latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (33/1 -408%) Ali Star Bert |
33/1(-408%) | (6) Ali Star Bert 33/1, A three-time 3m chase winner last season who signed off with a good second of 4 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) 150 days ago. Enters calculations on his return. Looked effective on good ground last year and did well on softer (three wins) last winter. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Happy Du Mesnil has been in great form as he has filled the top two places on each of his last three starts, so is one to take seriously. However, the vote goes to SWAPPED, who showed a lot more when fourth at Market Rasen on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to drop him 1lb for that effort. Nick Kent's charge looks to have conditions in his favour and could get back to winning ways. Roll With It is the pick of the remainder.
This is wide open but HAPPY DU MESNIL is an improved model since switched to fences so can resume winning ways on the back of a good Bangor second. Nigel Twiston-Davies' Topofthecotswolds returns on a lenient mark so could emerge as the main threat, although a solid case can also be made for Almazhar Garde, Ali Star Bert and Roll With It.
This looks competitive but a chance is taken that TOPOFTHECOTSWOLDS can return from his break to make the most of a reduced mark.

1st (5) (7/2 +30%) Peace Motivator |
7/2(+30%) | (5) Peace Motivator 7/2, £10,000 3-y-o, Massaat gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Simply Red. Dam 1m-1½m winner. One to note for yard capable of readying a debutant. Half-brother to fair hurdler Simply Red; stable has very good strike-rate in bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1/1 +50%) Fiskardo |
1/1(+50%) | (3) Fiskardo 1/1, Was sent off favourite (2/1) and showed promise when close third of 9 at Uttoxeter (soft) on debut in July, despite needing a stiffer test of stamina. Respected with that first outing behind him. Made a promising debut when close third at Uttoxeter in July; likely contender again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/4 +45%) Lion City |
11/4(+45%) | (4) Lion City 11/4, Showed ability first time up when fourth of 5 at Naas (heavy) in February, plugging on final 1f. Irish raider who merits consideration with cheekpieces added after 6 months off. Beaten about 10l when fourth of five at Naas (heavy) in February; cheekpieces added here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (25/1 +24%) Hopjes |
25/1(+24%) | (2) Hopjes 25/1, Fractious beforehand and raced too freely on debut when tailed-off at Newton Abbot (good) in June. Has since left Richard Hawker and now tried in hood/tongue strap. Tailed off at Newton Abbot in June; sports headgear on first start for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (14/1 -75%) Tres Bien |
14/1(-75%) | (7) Tres Bien 14/1, Unplaced both starts in point bumpers but offered more making her Rules debut when third of 8 at Newton Abbot (good) in June. Could be in the mix as she makes first run for yard after leaving David Pipe. Belied 40-1 odds when placed on rules debut a Newton Abbot; more is needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BLACKWATER LILLY has shown ability in her two starts to date and is fancied to get off the mark at the third attempt. Brian Ellison's charge defied long odds to finish second over 2m at Uttoxeter last time, in a race where the winner has franked the form by winning a maiden hurdle subsequently. Fiskardo is feared most after a pleasing racecourse debut and improvement appears likely, while Tres Bien completes the shortlist.
BLACKWATER LILLY has made an encouraging start in her 2 bumpers so far, improving from debut when second at Uttoxeter in July, so she looks to hold leading claims of opening her account this time around. The main danger could be Fiskardo, who can take a step forward from his first run, ahead of Lion City.
Preference is for BLACKWATER LILLY, who was second five weeks ago in what looked an above-average mares' race for the time of year.

1st (3) (11/8 +21%) Brilliant Light |
11/8(+21%) | (3) Brilliant Light 11/8, Useful Flat winner who stepped up on his hurdling debut when second in a 15-runner novice at Tramore a fortnight ago. That is the best piece of form on offer and he's worth a chance to go one better. Useful on Flat; long layoff before going hurdling last month, second at Tramore last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (33/1 -65%) Scintillante |
33/1(-65%) | (11) Scintillante 33/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat but only modest efforts at best so far over hurdles, so needs to up his game. Two 1m4f Flat wins but, after five attempts, marked improvement is needed in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (13/2 -63%) Don Virginia |
13/2(-63%) | (10) Don Virginia 13/2, Dam fair French hurdler (17f winner). Promising start when runner-up in a juvenile at Hereford 6 months ago and should step forward from that if he's fully tuned up. Big player. Bred for it; 13-2 when second of ten in juvenile hurdle at Hereford (2m, soft) in February. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (17/2 +58%) Spitfire Bridge |
17/2(+58%) | (12) Spitfire Bridge 17/2, Showed ability in bumpers but only modest form so far over hurdles. Improved on the Flat last time, though, so may yet have more to give in this sphere. Runner-up over C&D (good) and at Bath (1m5f Flat) on last two outings; better is needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (6/1 -50%) Manowest |
6/1(-50%) | (8) Manowest 6/1, Off mark in Irish points at second attempt (May 6) and made an excellent start over hurdles when runner-up in a C&D novice last month. Open to improvement and likely to take a hand. Won Irish point; always-prominent 2nd in maiden hurdle here (2m, good; weak 6-1) in July. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (8/1 +20%) Barenboim |
8/1(+20%) | (1) Barenboim 8/1, Went backwards from his hurdling debut for Fergal O'Brien in 2022 but has improved for David O'Meara on the Flat lately and can't be dismissed starting out for another new yard back in this sphere. Left D O'Meara for 20,000gns in May; wind op July; needs better than in 2022 hurdle races. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (100/1 -203%) Lucky Stripe |
100/1(-203%) | (7) Lucky Stripe 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, third of 11 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Needs to up his game markedly if he's to feature in this. This drop in trip has to be explored but he'll need serious improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (80/1 -300%) Bobby Kennedy |
80/1(-300%) | (2) Bobby Kennedy 80/1, Dam fairly useful 2m/21f hurdle winner, also 1m (at 2 yrs)-10.4f winner on Flat. Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1¾m), runner-up on comeback in 2024, but well below form last time. Not an obvious sort on hurdling debut. Mostly modest form on Flat; his dam won over hurdles (pretty useful) and Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (100/1 -203%) Eagle Court |
100/1(-203%) | (4) Eagle Court 100/1, Fair on Flat (stays 16.5f), out of sorts in 2024. Hard to make a solid case for switched to hurdling for the first time. Declining force on Flat (pretty useful at his peak); hurdle debut needs to spark a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (5/1 +17%) R S Ambush |
5/1(+17%) | (9) R S Ambush 5/1, Fair hurdler who is yet to get off the mark but ran creditably when runner-up over C&D last time. Blinkers may draw more out of him but others appear to have more potential. Ten races, all over hurdles; four seconds include two of his three races this summer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (25/1 -79%) Groundbreaker |
25/1(-79%) | (5) Groundbreaker 25/1, Didn't look straightforward on his last 2 starts for Andrew Balding (sold for 20,000 gns in September) but he was useful on the Flat at best and should have learned from his initial experience of hurdling over C&D 45 days ago. Could do better. Useful on Flat; 4th on C&D hurdles debut but needs to build markedly on that; hood returns. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having been narrowly beaten at Tramore on his latest outing, this looks like a good opportunity for BRILLIANT LIGHT to get off the mark over timber. The Irish raider was useful on the Flat and he should be difficult to beat in this company. R S Ambush has an official mark of 105 which sets a fair standard and he is likely to pose the most significant questions to the selection, while Barenboim also makes appeal.
BRILLIANT LIGHT's second at Tramore is the best piece of form on show and he might be able to open his hurdling account with a performance of similar merit. Manowest is an obvious danger and Don Virginia also looks open to improvement.
Having run with credit in some top handicaps in his Flat days for Godolphin, BRILLIANT LIGHT has a good opportunity to win over hurdles.

1st (11) (33/1 -230%) Shibuya Song |
33/1(-230%) | (11) Shibuya Song 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f, good, 33/1) 101 days ago, finishing strongly. Merits consideration. Finished strongly for fourth from a tough position at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/1 +58%) Magical Arthur |
5/1(+58%) | (5) Magical Arthur 5/1, Poor form over hurdles for Phil Kirby, including in handicaps this spring. Some encouragement on first outing for this yard over C&D last time and cheekpieces go on now, so not a forlorn hope. Staying-on 4th over C&D (good) in July was more like it on stable debut; cheekpieces go on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (11/10 +76%) Absolutely Fine |
11/10(+76%) | (10) Absolutely Fine 11/10, Hasn't shown much yet but he's bred to do much better and represents a top stable, so more expected now upped markedly in trip. Worth siding with if strong in the betting. Tailed off hitherto; has a very new trip for this handicap debut after wind surgery (May). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (11/2 -144%) Chemical Warfare |
11/2(-144%) | (7) Chemical Warfare 11/2, Not long with this yard and took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Market Rasen before following up in good style back over fences at Worcester. Excellent effort at Uttoxeter (fences) since and very much still of interest in this sphere. Good 2nd in hat-trick bid and unexposed over this sort of trip; chase mark is 8lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (100/1 -100%) Kilkeaskin Molly |
100/1(-100%) | (12) Kilkeaskin Molly 100/1, Unreliable sort who remains a maiden after 23 goes. Hasn't been seen for over 2 years (when pulled up), so very hard to make a case for. 23-race maiden; out of form in 2021 and absent since; had wind surgery in 2022. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (22/1 -10%) Galway Reel |
22/1(-10%) | (1) Galway Reel 22/1, Has not inherited the family's lofty level of ability judged on early evidence. Marginal improvement when eighth over C&D last time but probably needs more leeway from the handicapper. Beaten just over 5l on handicap debut over C&D latest, albeit finishing only eighth of 13. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (10/1 +29%) Stiletto |
10/1(+29%) | (4) Stiletto 10/1, Modest maiden who wasn't quite on his game when sixth at Newton Abbot 79 days ago but could bounce back quickly. 0-25 Flat/jumps; very solid record in staying hurdles until disappointing favourite latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (20/1 -43%) Valentine Getaway |
20/1(-43%) | (6) Valentine Getaway 20/1, Consistent sort who shaped as if still in form when seventh over C&D last time. Has had a short break since but others look better treated. 0-12 over hurdles, with plenty of minor honours; 10lb claimer takes the ride this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (2) (12/1 -167%) Indian Sunbird |
12/1(-167%) | (2) Indian Sunbird 12/1, Winner in hurdle here in July. 9/2, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good) 45 days ago. Progressing well recently. and merits plenty of respect. Won in July and close second 17 days later, both over C&D; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (22/1 -83%) Shantou Champagne |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Shantou Champagne 22/1, Showed plenty of ability in bumpers in 2021 and after a mammoth absence, has shown some ability over hurdles so far this term. Pulled up on handicap debut at Cartmel last time, though. So questions to answer. Soft ground might have been a factor in her poor handicap debut but cheekpieces now go on. |

|PU| (8) (25/1 -79%) Royal Sam |
25/1(-79%) | (8) Royal Sam 25/1, Point winner but still a maiden under Rules and latest efforts have been underwhelming. 0-14 under rules and not firing on all cylinders over fences this year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Not beaten far in his attempt to land the double over C&D last month, INDIAN SUNBIRD sets the standard and a 3lb rise for that defeat looks manageable under similar conditions. A winner here on his penultimate start and a promising second over further at Uttoxeter last time out, Chemical Warfare is likely to be thereabouts for his in-form connections, while Shibuya Song is another open to improvement on the step up in trip.
ABSOLUTELY FINE is bred to be much better than he's shown to date and takes a significant step up in trip switched to handicaps, so he's worth a chance to improve. Indian Sunbird has been going well at this track and merits respect, while Chemical Warfare can't be ruled out.
Indian Sunbird and Shibuya Song are respected but CHEMICAL WARFARE returns to hurdles on a very attractive mark.

1st (10) (5/2 +64%) Santa Clarita |
5/2(+64%) | (10) Santa Clarita 5/2, Disappointed at Ffos Las when last seen in May but been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and has since joined Dan Skelton. Worth a close look in the market. Pulled up in a chase on latest outing but reverts to hurdling on good mark for new stable. |

2nd (1) (28/1 -180%) Sefton Warrior |
28/1(-180%) | (1) Sefton Warrior 28/1, Returned to form when creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago but is still looking for his first success in this sphere after 17 starts. Ran well at Cork last month but is 0-17 over hurdles now and not very consistent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (8/1 +33%) Best Mate Dave |
8/1(+33%) | (6) Best Mate Dave 8/1, C&D winner last summer but ran badly when sent over fences here 62 days ago and has something to prove back over the smaller obstacles. C&D winner; had excuse when pulled up on chase debut two months ago; now back hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (11/2 +31%) Limerick Leader |
11/2(+31%) | (8) Limerick Leader 11/2, Fair hurdler but just a modest maiden handicap chaser for Rose Dobbin and ran poorly, on debut for new yard, over fences at Newton Abbot 6 weeks ago. Switches to hurdling now. Flopped over fences on stable debut but no surprise if he comes good for Olly Murphy soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (10/1 +38%) Ragosina |
10/1(+38%) | (2) Ragosina 10/1, Flat winner who struck at the fourth time of asking over hurdles when seeing off 4 rivals in a 2½m Sedgefield mares' novice in February. Acquitted herself well on Flat and in this sphere more recently but others look better treated. Didn't run badly on the Flat last time but has something to prove over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (16/1 +0%) Unspeakable |
16/1(+0%) | (13) Unspeakable 16/1, Ran well over fences at Ffos Las in May but wasn't in same form in this sphere at Perth last month and percentage call is to look elsewhere. Second in a chase in May but largely disappointing since his 3m hurdle win in March 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 -100%) Winds Of Fire |
14/1(-100%) | (4) Winds Of Fire 14/1, Took advantage of drop in the weights when narrowly taking 9-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, soft) 46 days ago, holding on gamely. Just 3 lb higher now and must enter calculations. Fended off a heavily backed rival to make all in July; not sure to be in same mood again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (9/2 -80%) Duchamps Art |
9/2(-80%) | (3) Duchamps Art 9/2, Failed to justify strong support when respectable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.6f, good, 5/2) 9 days ago but not been with top yard long and must enter calculations. Started off for Willie Mullins with two encouraging runs and must be considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (40/1 -21%) Saint Vic |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Saint Vic 40/1, Not really threatened in a handful of starts in this sphere and looks on a stiff mark for his handicap debut. Still unexposed but probably needs to improve to make an impact on this handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (10/1 +17%) Faerie Cutlass |
10/1(+17%) | (5) Faerie Cutlass 10/1, C&D winner last year but not been in same form more recently, beaten long way when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (23f, good) 38 days ago. Others preferred. Left behind by wide-margin winner when second here in July but that was still a good run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (9) (17/2 +58%) Hedera Park |
17/2(+58%) | (9) Hedera Park 17/2, C&D winner last September but not been in same form since, albeit she shaped better than distance beaten when sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (22f, good, 12/1) 5 days ago. Others more persuasive. C&D winner on handicap debut last September but not in same form since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
OUTBACK FRONTIERS looks the type to improve for going back up in trip, having stayed on well when scoring at Stratford and filling second at Newton Abbot on his most recent outings. A mark of 83 still looks feasible, and he is preferred to the Uttoxeter winner Winds Of Fire, and Irish raider Duchamps Art, who will need to improve on what she has shown on her first two starts for new connections. Others to note include Bergentown, Santa Clarita and Sefton Warrior.
BERGENTOWN is 2 lb below his winning mark and acquitted himself well in a similar contest here in June. He gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Winds of Fire and Santa Clarita head the list of dangers.
Dan Skelton's new recruit SANTA CLARITA has become very well handicapped on some of last year's hurdling form and gets the vote.

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.
