1st (9)  (1.75/1 +56%)Lusitanien |
1.75/1(+56%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Lusitanien 1.75/1, Maiden who has been struggling to make an impact for Evan Williams in recent months, albeit shaping like a non-stayer when seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (3m) 6 weeks ago. Goes chasing now for new yard in red-hot form and resurgence rates distinctly possible. 16-race maiden who changed hands cheaply last month but has joined a respected yard. |
|||
2nd (1)  (5/1 -82%)Mutual Respect |
5/1(-82%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Mutual Respect 5/1, Returned to pick of his form for present stable when belatedly shedding maiden tag at Uttoxeter (2m) in July, crucially jumping better than usual. Claims with a repeat for all he wouldn't be an obvious follow-up candidate. Not easy to predict and only beat two rivals in a 2m chase at Uttoxeter last time in July. |
|||
3rd (5)  (3.5/1 +56%)Gone In Sixty |
3.5/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Gone In Sixty 3.5/1, Remains a maiden though he did run right up to best when second in a C&D handicap hurdle on penultimate start in July. Not at same level switched to chasing when fifth at Market Rasen (17.2f) latest but good chance he can build on that. Will need to run better than he did on chase debut at Market Rasen. |
|||
4th (2)  (14/1 -100%)Methusalar |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Methusalar 14/1, Hurdles winner for Alan King (at 19.5f) in spring 2022. Proved disappointing both starts upon returning to action earlier this term but has since joined yard enjoying a good spell ahead of chase debut. Well worthy of note if the market spoke in his favour. 1-12 for Alan King whom he left for 4,000gns; chase debut. |
|||
5th (7)  (10/1 +9%)Martalmix'jac |
10/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Martalmix'jac 10/1, Modest maiden hurdler who stepped up on his low-key chase debut when third in 8-runner handicap at Stratford (17f, good) in June. Attracted support but not in same form when well held eighth over 20f here 3 weeks ago and cheekpieces go on now. Placed at Stratford before running moderately here; cheekpieces now added. |
|||
6th (6)  (12/1 -33%)Newtonian |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Newtonian 12/1, Fair form when placed in a brace of bumpers. Fifth on hurdles debut early last year but he's essentially disappointed thereafter for Oliver Sherwood. Easy to back and offered little making chase debut for new yard over 20f here 6 weeks ago. Had wind op since. Had wind op since last run and that needs to have made a difference. |
|||
7th (8)  (18/1 -29%)Estate Italiana |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Estate Italiana 18/1, Raised his game when getting off the mark at Ludlow (2m) in February but revised mark seemed to catch him out thereafter and latest run at Fakenham was a lacklustre display. Won off 2lb lower at Ludlow in February but there's been little sign of that form since. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (7/1 +13%)Honneur De Sivola |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Honneur De Sivola 7/1, Much-improved model switched to chasing, filling runners-up spot at Huntingdon/Market Rasen earlier this term. Didn't go with same zest when fifth at latter-named venue when last seen in July but no surprise to see him bounce back with blinkers enlisted for the first time. Similar RPRs in his last three starts; likely contender if okay in the new blinkers. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Mutual Respect must enter calculations as the only recent winner in this contest, although a 5lb rise for his Uttoxeter success may be enough to prevent the seven-year-old from following up. GONE IN SIXTY displayed enough encouragement on his chasing debut at Market Rasen last month to suggest that a race of this nature is within his compass. Alex Hales' gelding shades the vote, while any market support for stable debutant Methusalar would bring him into the reckoning too.
A trappy opener to dissect and with that in mind it could pay to take a chance on LUSTANIEN. He lost his way for his previous stable but starts out over fences for a yard in red-hot form and it would come as no surprise to see him make an impact from this basement mark. Uttoxeter-winner Mutual Respect and Methusalar are others to consider, whilst Honneur de Sivola can't be discounted either equipped with first-time blinkers.
Provided that he takes to the new blinkers then HONNEUR DE SIVOLA might be the answer to an open-looking handicap.

1st (4)  (3.33/1 -11%)Glajou |
3.33/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Glajou 3.33/1, Landed a Warwick handicap chase off 5 lb higher last summer but mixed record since, below par at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 21 days ago. Often runs well but finds it difficult to win and this far stretches him to the limit. |
|||
2nd (2)  (4/1 +33%)Iron Heart |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Iron Heart 4/1, Winner of a selling hurdle on final start for David Pipe in November. Little show on the Flat since for Tony Newcombe and has since changed yards ahead of chase bow. New stable could turn things around but what he'll make of fences is anyone's guess. |
|||
3rd (5)  (12/1 -100%)College Oak |
12/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) College Oak 12/1, Didn't take to chasing in 2021 and well held last 3 starts over hurdles, including after 11 months off at Worcester 6 weeks ago. Quiet on last month's belated return and has plenty to prove on a few counts. |
|||
4th (7)  (3.5/1 +13%)Shot Tower |
3.5/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Shot Tower 3.5/1, Poor form over hurdles and beaten a long way on his chase/handicap debut at Worcester in June. Surely flattered from 24 lb out of the handicap after 11 weeks off when second of 3 at Newton Abbot (good) 10 days ago but 19 lb lower here. Engaged 3.50 Newton Abbot Monday. Perhaps flattered last week at Newton Abbot but he's 19lb lower for this. |
|||
5th (3)  (8/1 -100%)Mix Of Clover |
8/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mix Of Clover 8/1, Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces reverted to fences when close third of 6 in handicap chase at Stratford (17f, soft) 12 days ago. Good chance off same mark. Close up on return to fences at Stratford and entitled to be winning races off this mark. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (4.5/1 +25%)Bari Breeze |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bari Breeze 4.5/1, Mixed record over hurdles, including both starts last month after a break, and didn't take to fences in 2022, so bit to prove back in this sphere. His first run back this season was much better than the second (both over hurdles). |
|||
|PU| (1)  (12/1 +40%)Vinnie The Hoddie |
12/1(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Vinnie The Hoddie 12/1, Error-prone sort who won at Newton Abbot (2m) in March 2022. Stopped the slide back from 9 months off when third at Worcester in July but never going well at Bangor 2 weeks later. Very hard to predict as has been again evident this season; had wind operation. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
SHOT TOWER almost caused an upset when finishing second from out of the weights at Newton Abbot last Saturday and holds leading claims now racing off his actual handicap mark in this contest. Mix Of Clover appeared to benefit from first-time cheekpieces, having been beaten just under two lengths at Stratford in late-August, with Alastair Ralph's nine-year-old likely to be in the mix on the return to 2m4f. Glajou also merits consideration if putting it all together.
MIX OF CLOVER responded well to this headgear when a close third at Stratford on his return to fences recently and gets the vote off the same mark with all his rivals arriving with something to prove. Shot Tower might have been flattered from well out of the handicap when second of 3 at Newton Abbot but still rates the main threat now racing off his correct mark.
As most of these come with risks it's worth giving SHOT TOWER the benefit of the doubt for his much-improved run last week.

1st (4)  (4.5/1 +25%)Painless Potter |
4.5/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Painless Potter 4.5/1, Acquitted himself well over hurdles this summer, latest when third of 8 in handicap over 2m here 3 weeks ago. Eased 2 lb and he can be a factor. 0-8 as a hurdler but placed a few times and this longer trip might bring him on. |
|||
2nd (2)  (1.38/1 -10%)Police Academy |
1.38/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Police Academy 1.38/1, Failed to win for Oliver Sherwood but wasted little time getting on the up for Fergal O'Brien, supplementing her Uttoxeter win at Bangor 3 weeks ago. Limit not yet reached and she's the one to beat. 2-2 for this yard and good value for her 2l margin at Bangor last time; 5lb rise isn't bad. |
|||
3rd (3)  (16/1 -129%)Ben Lilly |
16/1(-129%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ben Lilly 16/1, Useful 7-time Flat winner for David Brown. Yet to reach same heights over hurdles and has been expensive to follow in the process. Tongue tie on for the first time. Seven-time Flat winner; 0-9 over hurdles and returning from a year out in new headgear. |
|||
4th (6)  (8/1 -14%)Nickelforce |
8/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Nickelforce 8/1, Much more like it when keeping on for fifth in maiden company at Warwick in April. Slight step up in trip will suit now handicapping. Absent since April but brings an unexposed profile into handicaps. |
|||
5th (5)  (11/1 -22%)Abraaj |
11/1(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Abraaj 11/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in France and showed that he retains ability when runner-up on the level at Kempton (2m) in June. Fairly low-key start over hurdles but opening handicap effort at Southwell wasn't a bad effort. Back up in trip. French Flat winner in 2021; beaten 9l on his handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good). |
|||
6th (1)  (3.33/1 +26%)Izayte |
3.33/1(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Izayte 3.33/1, Winner of 2m Warwick handicap in May and creditable runner-up efforts at Uttoxeter and here (both 2m) on his next 2 starts. Confirmed stamina for 20f when third last time and another bold showing looks likely. Positively ridden returned to 2m4f here two weeks ago (good to soft) and didn't see it out. |
|||
7th (7)  (28/1 +15%)Claude Almighty |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Claude Almighty 28/1, Well held in bumpers/completed starts over hurdles. More needed from this mark fitted with blinkers. Always a chance that blinkers will trigger something now into handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
POLICE ACADEMY has proved a perfect graduate since making a winning stable debut for the Fergal O'Brien team in July and a hat-trick looks in the offing now only 5lb higher than her Bangor triumph last month. The trip looks on the edge of Izayte's stamina if judged on his third-placed finish over C&D in late-August. Nevertheless, the five-year-old may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Ben Lilly, who returns to action off a dangerous mark.
POLICE ACADEMY has made an excellent start for Fergal O'Brien and the hat-trick looks firmly on the cards. Izayte and Painless Potter appear to be the main dangers.
Police Academy is feared but PAINLESS POTTER is a consistent 5yo who could enjoy this longer trip.

1st (7)  (2/1 +50%)Presenting Nelly |
2/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Presenting Nelly 2/1, Fair bumper winner who shaped as if better for the run sent hurdling after lengthy absence when third of 12 in a Southwell maiden (20.4f) in June. Travelled as well as any upped to 23f when fourth here last time and open to further improvement back down in trip. Her fourth in a 2m7f maiden here (first-time tongue-tie) brings her into the reckoning. |
|||
2nd (1)  (4/1 -20%)Come On Du Berlais |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Come On Du Berlais 4/1, Bumper winner for Gordon Elliott. Placed both starts over hurdles in the UK without fully matching the pick of her Irish form (tongue tied latest) but still a major form contender after a breathing op. Fair third here last time; tongue-tie left off following wind surgery. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/1 +25%)Hedera Park |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Hedera Park 9/1, In frame twice from 4 starts in bumpers and hurdles efforts not devoid of promise. Can progress if she can cut out the errors. Didn't convince with her stamina for this far when fourth at Bangor; now hooded. |
|||
4th (4)  (14/1 +44%)Impression Chic |
14/1(+44%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Impression Chic 14/1, £26,000 buy after finish runner-up on her completed start in points (Feb 5). Looks one for the longer term on early evidence under Rules. Front-running second over C&D last time but was beaten some 19l by the winner. |
|||
5th (8)  (16/1 +20%)Quick Of The Night |
16/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Quick Of The Night 16/1, Made little impact in bumpers but has offered a bit more encouragement since switched to hurdles, improving a little on debut form when fourth of 9 in course maiden (2m) 42 days ago. Up in trip. Showed more here last time and pedigree suggests this longer trip should suit. |
|||
6th (9)  (22/1 -100%)Southfield Lily |
22/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Southfield Lily 22/1, Has won multiple times in points, including on last 2 starts, but showed more temperament than ability in 3 hurdle starts back in 2021. Something has clicked in points and she could leave her previous hurdle efforts behind. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (4/1 -45%)Marvel Star |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Marvel Star 4/1, Modest form at best in 3 bumper runs but offered something to work on sent hurdling when third of 10 in a Sligo maiden (17.8f) 33 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ms Margaret Mullins. Likely to improve, especially over this longer trip. Well held by the winners but was third in a bumper and a maiden when trained in Ireland. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (6.5/1 +28%)Man After Midnight |
6.5/1(+28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Man After Midnight 6.5/1, Modest hurdler who ran one of her better races when fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Looks vulnerable from a win point of view. Irish raider who is 0-13 but ran okay to be fifth in a Killarney handicap (2m4f) last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MARVEL STAR kept on to finish a solid third over 2m2f at Sligo on her final start for Margaret Mullins last month. Now in the care of Alastair Ralph and sent over an extra two furlongs, she could shed the maiden tag. Come On Du Berlais sets the standard with an official rating of 105 and is unlikely to be far away. Fountainspinklady was unable to justify strong market support on her hurdling bow, but she can take a step forward with that run under her belt.
MARVEL STAR made an encouraging hurdling debut at Sligo last month and rates a likely improver now faced with a stiffer test of stamina, so she's taken to make a successful start for her new stable. Presenting Nelly will be suited by a return to this trip and can go on progressing, with Come On du Berlais also feared.
Alastair Ralph's new recruit MARVEL STAR showed enough in Ireland to believe she might be the answer.

1st (6)  (6/1 +25%)Hungry Hill |
6/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Hungry Hill 6/1, Came good in 23f handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (good to soft) in July. That form has been franked but he was a little disappointing when only sixth over this C&D since. Bounce back needed. Ran a modest latest race here when well behind Karavomylos and has to bounce back. |
|||
2nd (8)  (1.2/1 +52%)Karavomylos |
1.2/1(+52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Karavomylos 1.2/1, Has shown improved form upped in trip switched to handicaps this season, winning at Uttoxeter in June and over C&D last month. The second boosted that form by winning next time and he could still be well treated after a 4 lb rise. Won two of his last three and seemed to idle in the closing stages over C&D last time. |
|||
3rd (4)  (8.5/1 -70%)Nickelsonthedime |
8.5/1(-70%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Nickelsonthedime 8.5/1, Successful at Warwick and Newton abbot this summer and a further 2 lb nudge from the handicapper is unlikely to prevent another prominent showing from this in-form 9-y-o. Only 2lb higher than for his workmanlike win over further at Newton Abbot 51 days ago. |
|||
4th (5)  (5.5/1 -10%)Hardy Boy |
5.5/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Hardy Boy 5.5/1, Dual hurdles winner who opened his account over fences at the third attempt at Huntingdon in May. Placed in chases on his last 3 outings and likely to be competitive if in similar form back hurdling. Not straightforward but returns to hurdling on the back of some credible runs over fences. |
|||
5th (7)  (7/1 +30%)Pottlerath |
7/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pottlerath 7/1, Successful 3 times over hurdles during 2022 and sprouted wings over fences at the start of the summer, completing a hat-trick (first leg here). Creditable fourth back here latest and has a lower mark to work with back hurdling. Had a good year over fences and needs considering off this lower hurdle figure. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (9/1 +36%)Getthepot |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Getthepot 9/1, Doubled chase tally in 2022 but little promise all 3 starts this year, including back in this sphere on her first outing for this training partnership. Left Fergal O'Brien after some modest efforts and he produced another one last month. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (28/1 -100%)Mr Tambourine Man |
28/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Mr Tambourine Man 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler at best but all 3 efforts this season have been pretty tame, so plenty to prove. Tongue tie refitted. Long way below best since returning from an absence and others have more pressing claims. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (28/1 -12%)Ratfacemcdougall |
28/1(-12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ratfacemcdougall 28/1, Racked up 5 wins over hurdles in 2020/21 season but has largely struggled to make an impact since. Mark continues to fall but others are preferred. In no form at the minute and was 40-1 when pulled up at Newton Abbot. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KARAVOMYLOS got the better of a subsequent winner when successful over C&D three weeks ago, so a 4lb rise not be enough to prevent the unexposed son of Milan from following up. Nickelsonthedime arrives in terrific form having scored on two of his last three starts. Kayley Woollacott's charge is the main danger, while Hardy Boy and Pottlerath should not be far away either.
KARAVOMYLOS has had the form of last month's C&D win franked and a 4 lb rise may not prevent him going in again. Nickelsonthedime is another who arrives at the very top of his game and is second choice ahead of the reappearing Chives.
A chance is taken on CHIVES, who has a lot in his favour if he returns from a break in top order.

1st (5)  (4/1 +0%)Emanate |
4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Emanate 4/1, Poor maiden on the Flat and looked much the same in this sphere prior to belying odds of 100/1 in a C&D handicap (good to soft) in July. 3 lb rise tolerable but he's not an obvious type to follow-up. 100-1 winner here in July; only 3lb higher but difficult to know if he'll be as good again. |
|||
2nd (6)  (8/1 -60%)Diana Prince |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Diana Prince 8/1, Point winner who left previous efforts under Rules behind when making a successful handicap debut at Market Rasen(18.6f, good) in August. However, this 9 lb higher mark proved beyond her over the same C&D next time. Won easily last month but looked anchored by the 9lb rise when beaten next time. |
|||
3rd (3)  (6.5/1 +54%)Embolden |
6.5/1(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Embolden 6.5/1, Winner of a 2m Plumpton handicap over Easter and mostly respectable efforts since. However, he finished out with the washing at Market Rasen last month and bit to prove on the back of that low-key display. Plumpton winner back in the spring but has just gone off the boil of late. |
|||
4th (8)  (3.5/1 +42%)Coastal Sun |
3.5/1(+42%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Coastal Sun 3.5/1, Gained breakthrough success in a novice claimer at Ludlow in November for Alastair Ralph. Best run for current stable when third of 8 at Stratford (18.5f, good to soft) last month (wasn't to best effect at Newton Abbot last time) and she's one to consider. Beaten in eight handicaps but only 4l and 7l away in her last two. |
|||
5th (4)  (4/1 +38%)Foxey |
4/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Foxey 4/1, Showed fair form in bumpers and has matched that level over hurdles, fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Perth when last seen back in July 2021. Subsequent absence an obvious concern but one to note in the betting on debut for new yard off a potentially handy mark. Ten-race maiden but did have placed form off higher marks for his previous yard. |
|||
6th (10)  (9/1 +36%)African Sun |
9/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) African Sun 9/1, Belied odds of 40/1 at Uttoxeter last summer but rarely threatened since and finished some way adrift of Onnaroll at Fontwell 11 days ago. Record of 1-28 and held by Onnaroll on their recent Fontwell clash. |

5.5/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Onnaroll 5.5/1, Offered little first 8 starts over hurdles but looked a different proposition when, despite being 12 lb out of the handicap, finding just one too good at Fontwell (17.7f, good) recently. Able to race off correct mark here and major claims. Much improved to be second from out of the weights at Fontwell; was clear of the rest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Emanate sprung a massive shock when winning at odds of 100-1 over track and trip in July and he warrants consideration off just 3lb higher. However, a chance is taken on ONNAROLL. The five-year-old hasn't been the most consistent, but there was plenty to like about his recent Fontwell second. Having travelled strongly into contention, he found just one too strong and a similar effort could see him go one better. Diana Prince is another to consider.
ONNAROLL left his previous form well behind when a clear second from 12 lb out of the handicap at Fontwell and, if able to back that effort up here, he will surely go very close off his correct mark here. Coastal Sun was left with too much to do last time and, better judged on her creditable effort at Stratford in July, she is feared most. Though absent for over two years, Foxey is of interest on debut for Olly Murphy and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting.
Not many of these ran that well last time. ONNAROLL (nap) wasn't obviously flattered by his improved second at Fontwell.
Ths is the racecard key.
