Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (barely stayed 3¼m) Lyreen Legend. One of 3 representing Henry de Bromhead and the market should be revealing.

12:10 Cheltenham Maiden Hurdle (Class 2) 20f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
14 1st (14) (1.25/1 -14%) Weveallbeencaught	1.25 1.25/1(-14%)	(14) Weveallbeencaught 1.25/1, £210,000 purchase on the back of success in points and confirmed himself an exciting prospect when landing a Newbury bumper on Rules debut in March. Shaped with plenty of encouragement thrown in the deep end on his hurdling debut here (21f) in November and is sure to progress and win races.
11 2nd (11) (66/1 -32%) Rock My Way	66 66/1(-32%)	(11) Rock My Way 66/1, £90,000 4-y-o: fifth foal: dam unraced out of useful hurdler (2m-19f winner) Miss Fara. Off mark in Irish points at third attempt (Oct 2).
8 3rd (8) (25/1 +11%) Militaire	25 25/1(+11%)	(8) Militaire 25/1, Well-related son of Soldier Of Fortune who showed fair form when fourth in bumpers at Newbury and Worcester last season. Promises to do better over hurdles, shaping well when runner-up at Ffos Las in October.
7 4th (7) (66/1 -32%) Max's Champ	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Max's Champ 66/1, Winning pointer who was fair in bumpers and shaped like a stayer when last of 3 on Hexham hurdling debut (20,1f) 58 days ago. Will do better in time.
4 5th (4) (3/1 +14%) Gentle Slopes	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Gentle Slopes 3/1, £90,000 purchase on back of point win in March and talented enough to win 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers this autumn, latterly in listed company at this venue. Wasn't foot perfect on hurdles bow here 3 weeks ago and now goes up in trip
12 6th (12) (28/1 +65%) Rock On Cowboy	28 28/1(+65%)	(12) Rock On Cowboy 28/1, Irish point winner but fared much better than he did on hurdles debut when third of 14 at Uttoxeter a month ago. Much more needed in this company, though.
3 7th (3) (80/1 -60%) G A Henty	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) G A Henty 80/1, Milan gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser St Barts. Off mark in points at second attempt in March but this is a tough Rules debut.
9 8th (9) (33/1 +0%) Riskintheground	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Riskintheground 33/1, Positive start when runner-up in a bumper at Chepstow first time out last year and finished with running left when fifth in a listed event at Ascot next start. Not at that level first 2 outings over hurdles but this longer trip will suit.
10 9th (10) (200/1 -100%) Robinsville	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) Robinsville 200/1, Out of an unraced sister to connections' top-class hurdler/chaser Thistlecrack but hasn't shaped with much promise on his first 3 starts.
2 10th (2) (11/1 -10%) Future Investment	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Future Investment 11/1, Useful staying handicapper on the Flat and shaped far better than previously over hurdles when fourth in novice at Warwick on return, catching the eye from off the pace. Built on that when second at Chepstow a month ago (19.5f).
1 \|PU\| (1) (5.5/1 +0%) Firestep	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(1) Firestep 5.5/1, Mahler gelding out of a useful hurdler and created a fine impression when winning a brace of bumpers in 2020/21. Off 21 months after and fitted with a tongue strap for hurdles debut but he's certainly in the right hands.
13 \|PU\| (13) (7/1 +0%) School Days Over	7 7/1(+0%)	(13) School Days Over 7/1, Looked a useful prospect in bumpers, scoring at Market Rasen in May before excellent Cheltenham second last month. Sent off odds-on for hurdles debut and while he could manage only third, it was a sound start kept to 2m. Lots more to come over this trip.
5 \|PU\| (5) (80/1 +20%) Glorious Oscar	80 80/1(+20%)	(5) Glorious Oscar 80/1, £105,000 half-brother to fair hurdler Eaton Collina. Couldn't justify odds-on favouritism in Warwick bumper in May but still showed plenty of ability, unable to match the winner's turn of foot. Upped in trip and in need of the experience sent hurdling there in November. Tongue tie on.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (1.25/1 +0%) Harmonya Maker	1.25 1.25/1(+0%)	(2) Harmonya Maker 1.25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable 2½ lengths third of 7 to Saylavee in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft, 8/15) 13 days ago. Expected to be thereabouts again.
5 2nd (5) (1.2/1 +26%) Pink In The Park	1.2 1.2/1(+26%)	(5) Pink In The Park 1.2/1, Fairly useful bumper winner. 5/6, promising start over hurdles when second of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy) 5 weeks ago, pulling clear of remainder. Sound claims with prospect of more to come for powerful yard.
1 3rd (1) (12/1 -33%) Granny Lowrie	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Granny Lowrie 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler, winner at Kilbeggan (18.3f) in June. Very good 2 lengths second of 7 to Cool Survivor in listed hurdle (8/1) at Cork (24f, heavy) 56 days ago. Needs to pull out a bit more if she's to come out on top here.
3 4th (3) (10/1 -43%) Popova	10 10/1(-43%)	(3) Popova 10/1, Unplaced on completed start in points but belied market weakness to make winning Rules/hurdles debut in 15-runner novice hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 20/1) on NH debut 31 days ago, staying on well. Very much the type to do better again.
4 \|PU\| (4) (33/1 +0%) Phils Choice	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Phils Choice 33/1, Doyen mare who was placed on 5 of her 6 starts in bumpers and likely she'd have gone close but for running out 2 out on hurdles bow at Limerick (2m) in November. Feasible to think she can do better but this looks a tough enough assignment.

3 1st (3) (5/1 +64%) Sheldon	5 5/1(+64%)	(3) Sheldon 5/1, Impressive winner on first go over fences at Stratford (20.9f) in October but has fallen both starts since, not jumping so well prior to departing at Lingfield on his latest outing. Needs to get back on track.
5 2nd (5) (14/1 -17%) Upton Road	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Upton Road 14/1, Irish points winner who remains lightly raced under Rules. Promise on first 2 starts over fences before possibly failing to stay when pulled up on handicap bow at Carlisle (24.5f) in November. Still has some potential back down in trip.
7 3rd (7) (3/1 +60%) Hititi	3 3/1(+60%)	(7) Hititi 3/1, Ended last season over hurdles on a high, winning handicaps at Fontwell and this course. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests on second start over fences when fourth of 8 at Chepstow (19.4f), needing lesser test. Open to further progress.
2 4th (2) (6.5/1 -44%) Garincha	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(2) Garincha 6.5/1, Successful over hurdles at Wetherby (19.7f) in December 2021 and, having ended last term with a good third at that venue, made a winning return/chase debut at Bangor (20.3f) in November, albeit left in front soon after last. Shortlisted.
8 5th (8) (8.5/1 +39%) Investment Manager	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(8) Investment Manager 8.5/1, Fair winner at 21.5f over hurdles and matched that level on first attempt over fences when runner-up in handicap at Ffos Las (19.4f) on return. In 1st-time cheekpieces, didn't see his race out at Taunton (23f) last time. Back down in trip.
4 6th (4) (3.5/1 +7%) Marco Island	3.5 3.5/1(+7%)	(4) Marco Island 3.5/1, Bumper winner on debut who made his second hurdles start a winning one at Chepstow (19.4f) in February. Didn't jump too fluently on that occasion and now reappears over the larger obstacles, but has the look of a better chaser. Respected.
9 7th (9) (4/1 -20%) King Turgeon	4 4/1(-20%)	(9) King Turgeon 4/1, Brother to a pair of winners in France (both placed in listed chases). Ran to a fair level when placed on both outings over fences so far, runner-up in handicap at Lyon Parilly in November. Has left Gabriel Leenders and can make a winning British debut.
10 \|PU\| (10) (80/1 +0%) Merchant In Milan	80 80/1(+0%)	(10) Merchant In Milan 80/1, Poor maiden hurdler who was set a stiff task on chase debut, finishing a tailed-off third of 4 to McFabulous in novice at this C&D in November. Best watched on handicap bow.

3 1st (3) (1.75/1 +0%) Bringbackmemories	1.75 1.75/1(+0%)	(3) Bringbackmemories 1.75/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Translated most to that ability to hurdles when placed twice at the end of the summer and he has the potential for even better back from a break. Considered.
1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 +39%) Cabrakan	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(1) Cabrakan 3.33/1, Fairly useful handicapper on the level and confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when landing 6-runner juvenile at Newcastle (fitted with cheekpieces) 5 weeks ago. Likely to go well again.
8 3rd (8) (2.5/1 +0%) Sanitiser	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(8) Sanitiser 2.5/1, Useful handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Paul & Oliver Cole. Very interesting hurdle recruit for new stable and Brian Hughes does the steering.
4 4th (4) (12/1 +64%) Duyfken	12 12/1(+64%)	(4) Duyfken 12/1, Fair form on the Flat in France at up to 1½m for Carlos Laffon-Parias. Bought for €28,000 in July. Fitted with the cheekpieces he wore on his final 3 starts in France for this hurdle debut. One to note in the betting.
7 5th (7) (6.5/1 +41%) Paddy's Fancy	6.5 6.5/1(+41%)	(7) Paddy's Fancy 6.5/1, Modest on the Flat but switch to hurdles/fitting of cheekpieces did the trick at Leicester where she justified support in a 7-runner juvenile event. Not up to an Aintree listed race since but likely to be more competitive with her sights lowered.
6 \|PU\| (6) (20/1 +70%) Master Oliver	20 20/1(+70%)	(6) Master Oliver 20/1, Modest form in 3 Flat starts around 1½m in recent months. Probably best watched now hurdling.

2 1st (2) (3.5/1 +13%) Lord Sparky	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(2) Lord Sparky 3.5/1, After 5 months off, made winning yard debut at Huntingdon (23.6f) in October, despite some indifferent jumping. Disappointed when down the field at Doncaster (3m2f) last time, but worth another chance in first-time visor. Major player.
5 2nd (5) (8/1 -100%) Enduring Love	8 8/1(-100%)	(5) Enduring Love 8/1, Resumed winning ways in a Clonmel handicap (2m4f) in February and has run creditably in his 3 starts since. After 8 months off, third at Lingfield in November on his first run since leaving S. Curling. Can give his running with cheekpieces back on.
6 3rd (6) (33/1 -50%) Stay Out Of Court	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Stay Out Of Court 33/1, Multiple point winner who opened Rules account in 24.2f Exeter handicap chase in April. Returned to form when fourth over hurdles at Worcester in June, but possibly amiss over fences the following month. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Wintle.
3 4th (3) (3.5/1 +36%) Felton Bellevue	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(3) Felton Bellevue 3.5/1, Modest maiden hurdler who has bettered that level over fences, winning handicap chases at Hereford and Market Rasen in early-2022. Ran well after 8 months off at Plumpon in October, before a rare poor effort last time. Can bounce back.
4 \|U\| (4) (2/1 +11%) Dock Road	2 2/1(+11%)	(4) Dock Road 2/1, In first-time blinkers, second over hurdles at Southwell in April but below-par at Uttoxeter 2 months later (final start for Ben Pauling). Made more impact than previously over fences when runner-up at Wincanton in December. Could build on that.
1 \|PU\| (1) (6/1 -9%) Vinnie Dev	6 6/1(-9%)	(1) Vinnie Dev 6/1, Point winner who stepped forward from his first chase start under Rules when runner-up in handicap at Lingfield (28.8f) in February. Pulled up on final outing last term, before shaping as if needing run at Hereford in November. Stronger headgear on and could fare better now.
7 \|PU\| (7) (12/1 +25%) Rizzardo	12 12/1(+25%)	(7) Rizzardo 12/1, Successful in handicap at Fontwell (21.6f) in November 2021, but form has gone the wrong way since then, taking little interest when well held at Leicester last time. Continues to fall in the weights without looking like taking advantage.

Better form when fourth in Sandown Grade 2 since. The one to beat with sights lowered.
6 2nd (6) (6.5/1 -189%) Happywifehappylife	6.5 6.5/1(-189%)	(6) Happywifehappylife 6.5/1, Runner-up twice on the Flat last autumn and recorded her best effort over hurdles when second in a 17f Sedgefield novice in November. Tongue tie refitted. Open to further improvement.
5 3rd (5) (9/1 -20%) Swallows Song	9 9/1(-20%)	(5) Swallows Song 9/1, Kayf Tara gelding who made a winning start to his career in a Sedgefield bumper in November. This longer trip is bred to suit now hurdling.
3 4th (3) (28/1 +58%) Parelliroc	28 28/1(+58%)	(3) Parelliroc 28/1, Didn't offer much in 2 bumpers last season so doesn't strike as an obvious type to make a winning start over hurdles. Has had wind surgery.

Below form over hurdles this season but her mark has come down as a result and latest chase second was a bit better. One of the more likely types.
10 7th (10) (10/1 +50%) Sir Jim	10 10/1(+50%)	(10) Sir Jim 10/1, Hasn't shown much in half-a-dozen appearances over hurdles and, unless the addition of cheekpieces spark sudden improvement, he will probably come up short once again.
13 8th (13) (18/1 +10%) Howzat Hiris	18 18/1(+10%)	(13) Howzat Hiris 18/1, Produced best effort so far when third in 3m Wetherby handicap at the end of March. However, she hasn't come close to matching that form in 3 subsequent starts.
12 9th (12) (8/1 +11%) Kildrum	8 8/1(+11%)	(12) Kildrum 8/1, Made all in 3m Hexham handicap chase in May and ran well again at that venue when third on return in November. Should be bang there if he can reproduce that form back over hurdles.
7 \|PU\| (7) (7/1 +79%) Monticello	7 7/1(+79%)	(7) Monticello 7/1, Dual Flat winner who ran well when placed in handicaps at Carlisle/Hexham on first 2 starts of present campaign. However, not so good last twice so a bounce back is needed.
8 \|PU\| (8) (7.5/1 -36%) Storm Force One	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(8) Storm Force One 7.5/1, Several decent bits and pieces of form to her name, including when second in a 5-runner handicap over 23f at Market Rasen in November. However, it's hard to ignore the fact that she's 0-19 overall.
1 \|PU\| (1) (80/1 -100%) Sight Nor Seen	80 80/1(-100%)	(1) Sight Nor Seen 80/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in Ireland at his best but has struggled this season, including on C&D stable debut in November.

2 1st (2) (10/1 +29%) The Real Whacker	10 10/1(+29%)	(2) The Real Whacker 10/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who looked potentially smart when landing 3m novice here in November. This is tougher but he looks sure to do better again and is dangerous to dismiss.
4 2nd (4) (1.62/1 -8%) Monmiral	1.62 1.62/1(-8%)	(4) Monmiral 1.62/1, Smart hurdler who signed off for last term with a good second in Aintree Hurdle (20f) in April. Unlucky to bump into a top-class prospect in Jonbon on his chasing debut but he still showed plenty of aptitude and he's entitled to come on for that. Good shout.
6 3rd (6) (1.88/1 -15%) Thunder Rock	1.88 1.88/1(-15%)	(6) Thunder Rock 1.88/1, Four-time hurdle winner last term who has improved plenty for switch to chasing, following up his Uttoxeter victory in October with another impressive display at Ascot (18.8f) 44 days ago. Well worth his place at this higher level.
1 4th (1) (6/1 +0%) Beauport	6 6/1(+0%)	(1) Beauport 6/1, Likeable, progressive hurdler who made fine start over fences when landing listed Colin Parker Chase at Carlisle in October. Runner-up conceding 8 lb to similarly-good prospect at Haydock (21.6f) since and he remains one to be very positive about.
3 5th (3) (6.5/1 +59%) Harper's Brook	6.5 6.5/1(+59%)	(3) Harper's Brook 6.5/1, Twice a winner over hurdles (at 20f) who has improved for switch to chasing, runner-up at Carlisle in October prior to going one place better in a Bangor handicap (20.3f) 5 weeks ago. Highly unlikely he's reached his limit but this demands a good deal more.

1 1st (1) (0.62/1 +0%) Hugos New Horse	0.62 0.62/1(+0%)	(1) Hugos New Horse 0.62/1, Won a Worcester bumper on debut and has made a bright start over hurdles, opening account at the second attempt in a Wincanton novice in November. Followed up on handicap bow at Sandown and he's the one to beat back in a novice.
4 2nd (4) (2.75/1 -38%) Buckhorn Rocco	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(4) Buckhorn Rocco 2.75/1, Off the mark at the second attempt in bumpers, finding plenty to score at Sandown in November 2021. Upped in grade, progressed again when mid-field in listed contest at Ascot the following month. Could go well on hurdling debut.
17 3rd (17) (100/1 +0%) Cast's Tasha	100 100/1(+0%)	(17) Cast's Tasha 100/1, Signs of ability in bumpers but offered very little on hurdling debut in mares novice at Fontwell (19.2f) in December. Hood now reached for.
8 4th (8) (25/1 -14%) Dylan's Double	25 25/1(-14%)	(8) Dylan's Double 25/1, Getaway gelding who made some appeal on pedigree and showed a bit when finishing mid-field in a Chepstow bumper back in November 2021, his inexperience telling in the latter stages. Should do better in time over hurdles.
12 5th (12) (100/1 -203%) Imperial Measure	100 100/1(-203%)	(12) Imperial Measure 100/1, Clear signs of ability without being knocked about when mid-field in a Chepstow bumper on debut in October. Subsequent hurdles bow at Taunton wasn't particularly encouraging, though.
5 6th (5) (100/1 +0%) Clay	100 100/1(+0%)	(5) Clay 100/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Richard Hannon, but lost his way in that sphere and well held both starts in novice hurdles for current yard.
3 7th (3) (6/1 +57%) Awesome Foursome	6 6/1(+57%)	(3) Awesome Foursome 6/1, Made a winning bumper debut in tenacious fashion at Worcester in May. After 6 months off, failed to meet expectations on hurdling bow at the same course (2m4f), but shaped a bit better when sixth of 7 in a Leicester novice next time. More needed.
15 8th (15) (12/1 +14%) Sassified	12 12/1(+14%)	(15) Sassified 12/1, Fairly useful on Flat in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh and showed more than on hurdling debut when fourth of 14 in novice at Taunton in December, not knocked about. Can get involved with further improvement to come.
16 9th (16) (150/1 +25%) Call Me Sainte	150 150/1(+25%)	(16) Call Me Sainte 150/1, Down the field in a bumper and pair of maiden hurdles back in 2020/21. Makes a belated return to action after 23 months off.
2 \|U\| (2) (33/1 +18%) Arthalot	33 33/1(+18%)	(2) Arthalot 33/1, Fair on Flat and offered something to work on sent hurdling at Wincanton in March. More miss than hit on the level since, though, and down the field in novice hurdle at Chepstow in November. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
6 10th (6) (100/1 +0%) Daany	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Daany 100/1, Standout effort (modest form) in a trio of bumpers back in 2021 when third of 7 at Fontwell (13.7f). Modest performer on the Flat nowadays, down the field in handicap at Wolverhampton on stable debut last month. Best watched on hurdles bow.
11 11th (11) (100/1 +50%) Heresmax	100 100/1(+50%)	(11) Heresmax 100/1, Dam half-sister to useful 2m/2½m hurdle winner Tervel and fair hurdler (stayed 3¼m) Romaha. Modest maiden handicapper on Flat (probably stays 2m), possibly amiss last time. Makes hurdles debut having left Micky Hammond.

8 3rd (8) (7/1 -17%) Half Shot	7 7/1(-17%)	(8) Half Shot 7/1, Made it 3-5 for his current yard when making all in a 2½m course handicap hurdle 6 weeks ago. Had won over fences at Sedgefield prior to that. New mark demands more but no shock were he to find it.
2 4th (2) (3/1 +33%) Pay The Piper	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Pay The Piper 3/1, Useful over hurdles and quickly made up into an even better chaser last season, scoring at Wetherby and Newcastle. All the better for his reappearance when third of 6 at Kelso (17f) last month and he likely would have gone close if he'd jumped better. Thereabouts if keeping errors down.
6 5th (6) (10/1 +17%) Cedar Hill	10 10/1(+17%)	(6) Cedar Hill 10/1, Won twice last season, including over 2m here. Placed on first 2 starts this term but behind a couple of these rivals when last of 6 at Kelso latest. Back up in trip.

First run for yard after leaving Tim Vaughan.
4 \|F\| (4) (33/1 +0%) Monymusk Lad	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Monymusk Lad 33/1, Went the wrong way in bumpers and modest form at best over hurdles. Mark looks too high ahead of chase bow. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
2 \|U\| (2) (5.5/1 -144%) Colemanstown Lad	5.5 5.5/1(-144%)	(2) Colemanstown Lad 5.5/1, Well-bred type who matched his hurdles form first time over fences at Uttoxeter (20f), a close fourth and faring best of those held up.

1 \|PU\| (1) (3/1 +40%) Another Mystery	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Another Mystery 3/1, Point winner who matched pick of his hurdles form when third on chase bow at Warwick in April. Failed to build on that when returning to action here (3m, good) and ran much worse at Market Rasen since. Headgear fitted.

3 2nd (3) (8/1 +0%) Tupelo Mississippi	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Tupelo Mississippi 8/1, Dual bumper/maiden hurdle winner who showed promise on chase debut last winter. Not at that level either outing thereafter but not one to write off back from a break, despite operating from out of the weights.

Obvious claims from the same mark.
3 2nd (3) (11/1 -10%) Stolen Silver	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Stolen Silver 11/1, Did well over C&D last spring, fourth in Plate handicap at the Festival prior to running out an impressive winner of the Silver Trophy in April. Yet to be asked for effort when unseating 3 out in Paddy Power Gold Cup here on reappearance. Worth another chance.
10 3rd (10) (8/1 +50%) Nassalam	8 8/1(+50%)	(10) Nassalam 8/1, 5-y-o who enjoyed a good first season over fences, taking Newbury Grade 2 and ending campaign with success at Fontwell (19.5f) in February. Not seen to best effect faced with a big field for the first time over fences when sixth in the Paddy Power here last month and now has cheekpieces on.
12 4th (12) (8/1 -23%) Il Ridoto	8 8/1(-23%)	(12) Il Ridoto 8/1, Useful novice chaser last term and shaped well when 5 lengths fourth of 14 in Paddy Power Gold Cup here on his reappearance 4 weeks ago. Merits plenty of respect.

Seemingly not the force of old but handicap mark reflects that and he's run 2 sound races this season, narrowly denied at Wetherby before fifth in the Paddy Power Gold Cup here. Not discounted.

Missed last term but produced a most encouraging comeback run when third in last month's Rehearsal. Very much respected.
1 11th (1) (8.5/1 -6%) Brave Seasca	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(1) Brave Seasca 8.5/1, 12/1, career best when easily winning 13-runner handicap chase at Aintree (19.9f, good to soft) 29 days ago, plenty in hand. Makes plenty of appeal despite 9-lb rise.
9 12th (9) (12/1 +0%) Fantastic Lady	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Fantastic Lady 12/1, Useful chaser who arrives on the back of a reappearance win in 3m Market Rasen listed mares' chase last month. This demands more of her again but certainly not discounted.
16 \|PU\| (16) (8/1 +27%) Coconut Splash	8 8/1(+27%)	(16) Coconut Splash 8/1, Maiden hurdle winner who has shown useful form in defeat over fences, running close to his best when 4 lengths third of 7 in 19f Wetherby handicap on his reappearance 2 months ago. One to note.
5 \|PU\| (5) (12/1 +25%) War Lord	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) War Lord 12/1, Took very well to fences last term, winning 3 times and also fourth to Edwardstone in the Arkle at the Festival here. Below-form third of 5 in Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter on reappearance but he could be sharper for the run.
14 \|PU\| (14) (33/1 +18%) Eden Du Houx	33 33/1(+18%)	(14) Eden Du Houx 33/1, Benefited from a return to chasing when putting up a career best to win handicap chase (3/1) at Ffos Las (19.4f, soft) 37 days ago, easily. This is more competitive but he deserves respect.
6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 +39%) Lostintranslation	40 40/1(+39%)	(6) Lostintranslation 40/1, Top-class chaser at best (Betfair Chase winner and third in Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2019/20). Lost his way after an Ascot reappearance win last season but best not judged too harshly on last month's return in Coral Gold Cup (inconvenienced by standing start). Cheekpieces back on.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (1.62/1 +10%) How Will I Know	1.62 1.62/1(+10%)	(6) How Will I Know 1.62/1, Fair form when placed both starts in bumpers and shaped encouragingly when third of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (16.7f, soft, 9/2) on hurdles bow 30 days ago. Tongue strap applied and he sets the standard with further progress expected.
4 2nd (4) (22/1 -38%) Game Winner	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Game Winner 22/1, Promise when fourth of 10 in bumper at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) for Paul Nicholls, weakening only final 1f. Interesting if market speaks in his favour making hurdles debut for new yard.
2 3rd (2) (6.5/1 -8%) Copshill Lad	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(2) Copshill Lad 6.5/1, €20,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Runner-up sole outing in Irish point and went one better when readily winning a Stratford bumper in May. Much respected on hurdles debut.
15 4th (15) (4.5/1 +31%) Western General	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(15) Western General 4.5/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler Shantreusse shaped well when second of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (16.7f, good to soft, 7/1) on NH debut 48 days ago. Fancied to do better with slightly longer trip promising to suit.
17 5th (17) (2.75/1 -22%) Lime Avenue	2.75 2.75/1(-22%)	(17) Lime Avenue 2.75/1, Impressive bumper winner on debut at Chepstow in October. Failed to land the odds on hurdles debut at Wincanton (21.4f, good to soft) next time but the winner of that novice is probably useful and, in any case, improvement should be forthcoming.
1 6th (1) (9/1 +36%) Canty Bay	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Canty Bay 9/1, Promising individual. In frame in 2 bumpers last season and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 44 days ago, losing ground when hampered. Should have more to offer.
5 7th (5) (33/1 +0%) Grave La Klass	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Grave La Klass 33/1, Point winner as looked a longer-term prospect in 3 starts to date, always behind when sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, good, 33/1) 29 days ago.
3 \|PU\| (3) (33/1 +0%) Dear Ralphy	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Dear Ralphy 33/1, Showed ability in a couple of bumpers last season but wasn't at his best on return here in November and step forward is required on hurdles debut.
11 \|PU\| (11) (50/1 -79%) Looking For Larry	50 50/1(-79%)	(11) Looking For Larry 50/1, Telescope gelding. Off mark in points at second attempt. Probably best watched on Rules debut.
14 \|PU\| (14) (80/1 -220%) Rolling River	80 80/1(-220%)	(14) Rolling River 80/1, Hexham bumper winner found life harder in sterner company at Cheltenham last time. Should be suited by longer trip and is respected on hurdles debut.
10 \|PU\| (10) (80/1 +20%) Keepitfrombecky	80 80/1(+20%)	(10) Keepitfrombecky 80/1, Went in snatches when eleventh of 13 in bumper at Chepstow (16f, good to soft, 22/1) on NH debut 44 days ago. Can't be fancied on that evidence.
18 \|PU\| (18) (100/1 -25%) Notbitterbutbetter	100 100/1(-25%)	(18) Notbitterbutbetter 100/1, Didn't measure up to market expectations starting out in a Kelso bumper in May and out with the washing on return in a listed event at Cheltenham. Probably best watched on hurdles debut.
12 \|PU\| (12) (100/1 +0%) Mountain Grey	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Mountain Grey 100/1, Modest form at best in bumpers and reportedly struck into himself when fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 97 days ago. Should do better but remains opposable in this company.
13 \|PU\| (13) (100/1 +50%) Mr Mars Man	100 100/1(+50%)	(13) Mr Mars Man 100/1, Behind in bumper and hasn't completed in a pair of starts over hurdles, so can be easily opposed again.
16 \|PU\| (16) (150/1 -50%) Can You See Her	150 150/1(-50%)	(16) Can You See Her 150/1, Telescope mare was placed sole start between the flags but, unless the betting suggests otherwise, she's probably best watched on Rules debut.
7 \|PU\| (7) (200/1 -100%) Ideallko	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Ideallko 200/1, Made mistakes and shaped with little promise when well held in a novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 67 days ago.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (25/1 +11%) Large Action	25 25/1(+11%)	(7) Large Action 25/1, In the process of showing improved form under front-running tactics at Catterick in March, around a length up when falling at the last. Pulled up both starts in November so lots to prove now sent chasing.
11 2nd (11) (9/1 +55%) Dr Shirocco	9 9/1(+55%)	(11) Dr Shirocco 9/1, Just the one win from 7 starts between the flags and 0-16 over hurdles. Opening chase run wasn't devoid of promise.
1 3rd (1) (25/1 -25%) En Meme Temps	25 25/1(-25%)	(1) En Meme Temps 25/1, Fair 19f winner over hurdles but not gone on from a promising start over fences, well held again at Ayr in May. Has left Philip Kirby.
8 4th (8) (12/1 +52%) Shoughall's Boy	12 12/1(+52%)	(8) Shoughall's Boy 12/1, Back-to-back wins in 20f handicap hurdles at Hexham to end 2021 but hasn't achieved a great deal since. Cheekpieces back on.
9 5th (9) (8/1 -33%) Shanbally Rose	8 8/1(-33%)	(9) Shanbally Rose 8/1, Off the mark in 7-runner handicap chase at Perth in September. Placed both starts since and likely to give it another good go. High on the shortlist.
2 6th (2) (3.33/1 -11%) Everyday Champagne	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(2) Everyday Champagne 3.33/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Hexham in March, then ran with credit when fourth at Perth the following month. Surpassed that level immediately over fences when landing 5-runner race at Doncaster in November and there should be more to come.
6 7th (6) (22/1 -57%) Thunder In Milan	22 22/1(-57%)	(6) Thunder In Milan 22/1, Unable to match bumper form in 4 hurdles outings last term and made an inauspicious start to his chase career at Ayr in October. Didn't achieve a great deal despite finishing second here last time and now up in trip.
12 8th (12) (28/1 +30%) New Zealander	28 28/1(+30%)	(12) New Zealander 28/1, Long-standing maiden who is out of the weights for chase debut.
3 9th (3) (25/1 -25%) Idilico	25 25/1(-25%)	(3) Idilico 25/1, Resumed winning ways from 3 lb lower mark at Perth (20f) in September and turned in another solid effort when runner-up back at that venue a month later. Excuses twice since and now goes back over fences.
5 \|F\| (5) (2.75/1 +21%) Dondiam	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(5) Dondiam 2.75/1, Just modest form in bumpers/over hurdles for Oliver Greenall but shaped with a little encouragement back from a 6-month break for new yard at Stratford. Possible that this former point winner will be seen in a better light now switched to fences. Hood fitted.
13 10th (13) (20/1 +70%) Bannside	20 20/1(+70%)	(13) Bannside 20/1, Poor form over hurdles and hasn't looked any better in this sphere following 4 attempts.
4 \|PU\| (4) (4.5/1 -29%) Warriors Story	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(4) Warriors Story 4.5/1, Fair bumper form for Keith Dalgleish and built on previous promise over hurdles when landing a Newcastle handicap (20.3f, good) in April. Left opening run over fences behind when second of 10 in a re-fitted tongue tie at Ayr. Up 6 lb but not yet exposed.

1 2nd (1) (0.8/1 +4%) Stattler	0.8 0.8/1(+4%)	(1) Stattler 0.8/1, Very smart chaser. 2/1, career best when winning 6-runner National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival (29.9f, good) by 8 lengths from Run Wild Fred. Off 9 months. 3-3 over fences and remains open to improvement.
3 3rd (3) (50/1 -52%) Roi Mage	50 50/1(-52%)	(3) Roi Mage 50/1, Useful chaser. 2½ lengths third of 11 to Grandgador in listed cross-country race (72/10) at Compiegne (26.8f, soft) on debut over fences 51 days ago. Looks up against it.
4 4th (4) (16/1 -14%) Cilaos Emery	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Cilaos Emery 16/1, Smart chaser. Nine wins from 24 NH runs. 17 lengths third of 5 to Darasso in listed chase at Thurles (22f, good to soft, 11/4) 31 days ago, going off too hard. Stattler is clearly the stable first-string.
2 \|F\| (2) (12/1 +0%) El Barra	12 12/1(+0%)	(2) El Barra 12/1, Smart chaser. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 28/1, below form 29¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Mighty Potter in Drinmore Novices' Chase at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Paul Townend prefers Stattler.

3 1st (3) (1.5/1 +14%) Mayfair Gold	1.5 1.5/1(+14%)	(3) Mayfair Gold 1.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 10 days ago, sticking to task. Solid claims from only 1 lb higher.
2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 -63%) Queen Of Burgundy	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(2) Queen Of Burgundy 6.5/1, Latest win at Lingfield in August and back on track when third of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) 10 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Respected.
4 3rd (4) (20/1 +0%) Biplane	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Biplane 20/1, Latest win over C&D in August but was below form back here 26 days ago, albeit left poorly placed. Needs to bounce back.

8 5th (8) (12/1 +0%) Recorwoman	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Recorwoman 12/1, Shaped promisingly when fourth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (150/1) 16 days ago, finishing well after missing break. One to bear in mind.
1 6th (1) (20/1 -25%) Arthur's Victory	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Arthur's Victory 20/1, Bounced back to best when runner-up at Yarmouth in October but wasn't in the same form at Newcastle later that month. Needs to get back on track following a break.

7 9th (7) (22/1 -22%) Thewaytothestars	22 22/1(-22%)	(7) Thewaytothestars 22/1, Fair maiden who posted respectable second of 6 in minor event at this course (7.1f) 12 days ago, despite once again not looking entirely straightforward.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (2.75/1 +54%) Allo Allo	2.75 2.75/1(+54%)	(4) Allo Allo 2.75/1, Point winner who left previous Rules form well behind when making a successful start for this yard in a 5-runner maiden (2½m, good) here in October. Limitations exposed in a novice under a penalty but fairly treated switched to a handicap.
10 2nd (10) (16/1 -14%) Fine By Her	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Fine By Her 16/1, Opened account over C&D in May and possibly needed the run after 6 months off at Ludlow (21.2f, heavy) 3 weeks ago. This should reveal more.
2 3rd (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Gerico Ville	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(2) Gerico Ville 5.5/1, Related to plenty of winners and placed twice in maidens over 19.5f last season. Well backed and disappointing on return, though, never really threatening. Goes up in trip now.
3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Revasser	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(3) Revasser 5.5/1, Closely related to useful hurdler/smart chaser Le Reve and made a winning start in a Warwick bumper. Minor promise in trio of novice hurdles, outpaced from 3 out when fifth on return at Wetherby (19.7f) 50 days ago. This longer trip more suitable now handicapping.
9 5th (9) (8.5/1 -13%) San Pedro	8.5 8.5/1(-13%)	(9) San Pedro 8.5/1, Irish Flat winner who was fit from that sphere and found only one too good at Plumpton in October. Mistakes crept in when not quite in the same form at Lingfield next time but he was quickly back on his game at Fontwell last month.
7 6th (7) (10/1 -11%) Cluain Aodha	10 10/1(-11%)	(7) Cluain Aodha 10/1, Pleasing start to career in handicaps when runner-up twice at up to 20f but seemed to go amiss at Huntingdon when last seen in November. Player if she's over that.
6 7th (6) (20/1 +0%) Cap St Vincent	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Cap St Vincent 20/1, Lame when pulled up in handicap chase at Perth in May and probably best watched on return/debut for new yard here.
8 8th (8) (2.5/1 +17%) Hurricane Vichi	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(8) Hurricane Vichi 2.5/1, Runner-up in a point. Bumper winner who has improved steadily over hurdles so far and might have been let in lightly here. Worth siding with to make a successful handicap debut with this stiffer test sure to suit.
1 \|PU\| (1) (50/1 -213%) Canyon City	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Canyon City 50/1, Limited impact both starts for this yard in May so hard to warm to despite drop in grade.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (1.38/1 +31%) Matchless	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(2) Matchless 1.38/1, Fairly useful Flat performer who scored on hurdles bow at Newcastle (16.2f) in November prior to a sound second under a penalty at Doncaster. Too free sent handicapping at latter-named venue since but he remains one to be positive about.
1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 -67%) Legendary Day	3.33 3.33/1(-67%)	(1) Legendary Day 3.33/1, Dual Flat winner for Hughie Morrison and perfect start over hurdles for new yard in a first-time tongue strap (retained here) at Sedgefield (16.8f, soft) where he landed an 11-runner novice with a bit to spare. Player with prospect of more to come.
4 3rd (4) (2/1 +27%) Whitehaven	2 2/1(+27%)	(4) Whitehaven 2/1, Fairly useful on Flat for Hughie Morrison (stays 16.5f). Creditable second at Haydock (2m) when last seen in October and he's well worth a look now hurdling having changed hands for 35,000 gns subsequently.
3 4th (3) (33/1 +34%) Prospect House	33 33/1(+34%)	(3) Prospect House 33/1, Offered little in bumper/maiden hurdle in Ireland last summer and similarly made little impact in points more recently. Starts out for new yard now.
6 5th (6) (50/1 -52%) Red Command	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Red Command 50/1, Poor maiden on Flat and he hasn't offered a great deal on 2 of his 3 starts in this sphere. Passed over.
5 6th (5) (10/1 +17%) Fiftyshadesaresdev	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Fiftyshadesaresdev 10/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who ran to a modest level when a fading fourth in a C&D juvenile 44 days ago. Possible he will have stamina limitations in this sphere.

8 2nd (8) (8/1 +0%) Dashel Drasher	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Dashel Drasher 8/1, Tough and likeable sort who resumed with a 2½m win over hurdles at Aintree in November. Good third in Grade 2 chase over 3m there since. C&D winner earlier in his career. Often front runs. Thereabouts.
3 3rd (3) (3.5/1 +42%) First Street	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(3) First Street 3.5/1, Mighty efforts in the Betfair and County Hurdles last term and resumed with victory in the Gerry Feilden at Newbury 5 weeks ago, jumping/travelling well and finding plenty. This demands another step forward but that's certainly not out of the question.
2 4th (2) (6.5/1 -44%) Knappers Hill	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(2) Knappers Hill 6.5/1, Building up a good strike rate and completed a 4-timer in last month's Elite Hurdle at Wincanton, jumping well in front and beating Sceau Royal by 2½ lengths. Has the potential for even better.
7 5th (7) (12/1 -9%) Brewin'upastorm	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Brewin'upastorm 12/1, Very smart hurdler who chased home the reopposing Botox Has in last year's National Spirit Hurdle at Fontwell (19f). Below-form second in 19f Ascot Grade 2 in November but he may come on for the outing. Held every chance when falling at the last in this 12 months ago.
4 6th (4) (3/1 +25%) I Like To Move It	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) I Like To Move It 3/1, Smart novice hurdler last season and took it up another notch when impressively winning the Greatwood over 2m here on his reappearance in November. Leaves the impression he'll stay further. Major player.
1 7th (1) (7/1 +50%) Botox Has	7 7/1(+50%)	(1) Botox Has 7/1, Showed improved form when beating Brewin'upastorm to win Grade 2 National Spirit at Fontwell (soft) on his final start last season and took it up another notch with when taking a valuable 3m Haydock handicap hurdle in November. Should give another good account back at Graded level.
5 8th (5) (25/1 +38%) Langer Dan	25 25/1(+38%)	(5) Langer Dan 25/1, Well clear of rest when second to Galopin des Champs in 2021 Martin Pipe over C&D. Landed a big handicap at Aintree last spring but his 2 efforts this term have been no more than respectable. Bit to find at this level even if back to his very best.
6 9th (6) (50/1 -79%) Tritonic	50 50/1(-79%)	(6) Tritonic 50/1, Well-served by strongly-run race that tested stamina when landing valuable Grade 3 handicap at Ascot (2m) last December. Fit from the Flat (won at Goodwood in October) but faces a stiff task now moving out of handicaps. First run beyond 2m.

5 1st (5) (8.5/1 -21%) In Rem	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(5) In Rem 8.5/1, Big improver in handicap hurdles last season and looked thorough stayer over fences with promising efforts at Worcester and Uttoxeter this term. Let down by jumping at Sandown last time but isn't ruled out if able to bounce back.
11 2nd (11) (3.5/1 +22%) Lady Kk	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(11) Lady Kk 3.5/1, Shaped encouragingly when second of 12 in handicap chase at this C&D (soft, 6/1) 42 days ago, finishing with running left. Winner of that event has gone in again since and she has obvious claims.
7 3rd (7) (3/1 +75%) Raddon Top	3 3/1(+75%)	(7) Raddon Top 3/1, Landed hat-trick of handicap hurdles here last term and has remained in good form since, producing another fine effort when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, good, 6/1) 29 days ago. Respected newcomer to chasing.
9 4th (9) (12/1 +57%) A Time To Shine	12 12/1(+57%)	(9) A Time To Shine 12/1, Looked likely to be suited by an extreme test of stamina when second on chase debut at Hereford. Pulled up following start and is best watched after 21 months off the track.
12 5th (12) (7/1 +56%) Dynamite Kentucky	7 7/1(+56%)	(12) Dynamite Kentucky 7/1, Fair hurdler ran to similar level when fourth at Chepstow on chasing bow. Pulled up in race won by Party Fuzz last time, though, so bounce back is called for.
3 6th (3) (10/1 -82%) Party Fuzz	10 10/1(-82%)	(3) Party Fuzz 10/1, Has good record fresh and improved to get off the mark in 12-runner handicap chase (18/1) at Hereford (25.2f, soft) on return 39 days ago. Player if he can back that up from 8 lb higher mark.
10 7th (10) (50/1 +0%) Talktomenow	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Talktomenow 50/1, Dual winner in 2020/21 for Warren Greatrex but offered little on his first outing for 21 months when pulled up at Ffos Las in November. Needs to prove he retains ability.
6 \|F\| (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Anglers Crag	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(6) Anglers Crag 4.5/1, Point/bumper winner looked potentially useful when making winning start for this yard in Leicester novice hurdle in February. Back on track when third of 5 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Ffos Las (21.9f, soft) 37 days ago and rates an interesting chase debutant.
8 \|PU\| (8) (14/1 -27%) Haut Folin	14 14/1(-27%)	(8) Haut Folin 14/1, Successful twice in France last term. Probably needed run when pulled up in handicap chase at Kempton (20.5f, soft) on UK debut 41 days ago. Best watched unless market speaks otherwise here.

9 2nd (9) (10/1 +44%) Collingham	10 10/1(+44%)	(9) Collingham 10/1, C&D winner who got back on the scoresheet when landing 6-runner handicap at Wetherby on return in October. Another good shift when going down narrowly at Ayr next time before failing to stay upped in trip here (19.8f) latest. Return to 2m in his favour.
10 3rd (10) (14/1 +30%) Thereisnodoubt	14 14/1(+30%)	(10) Thereisnodoubt 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Failed to build on the promise of his reappearance when fourth at Catterick (19.3f) 34 days ago but his mark continues to ease. Not ruled out.
11 4th (11) (25/1 +24%) Cuban Cigar	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Cuban Cigar 25/1, Consistent sort who wasn't ideally placed when third of 8 in C&D handicap (soft) 41 days ago. This is tougher, though. Has had a wind op and has tongue strap on for 1st time.
2 5th (2) (3/1 +25%) Homme Public	3 3/1(+25%)	(2) Homme Public 3/1, Picked up where he'd left off last season when quickening clear at Wetherby in November (16f, good). Solid third off this mark at Sandown (soft) since and could still have a bigger performance in the locker back on less testing ground. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
7 6th (7) (12/1 -33%) Socialist Agenda	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Socialist Agenda 12/1, C&D winner who bounced back to form after 4 months off when 3 lengths second of 6 to Al Zaraqaan in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft, 10/3) 27 days ago, though was well positioned in steadily-run affair. Cheekpieces back on. Needs more.
4 7th (4) (3.5/1 +0%) Al Zaraqaan	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(4) Al Zaraqaan 3.5/1, Smart at best on Flat and very much going the right way over hurdles, extending his winning sequence to 4 over C&D 27 days ago, leading 2 out and quickening clear soon after. Open to further improvement.
1 8th (1) (10/1 -67%) Voix Du Reve	10 10/1(-67%)	(1) Voix Du Reve 10/1, Smart at best and cashed in on falling mark at Newcastle in March. Shaped as if needing the run on comeback at Aintree before running as well as entitled to in Fighting Fifth last time.
6 9th (6) (4/1 +43%) First Impression	4 4/1(+43%)	(6) First Impression 4/1, Posted another good effort when second of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 28 days ago. That form looks solid and another good run seems likely off the same mark.
8 \|F\| (8) (18/1 -29%) Sizing Mauritius	18 18/1(-29%)	(8) Sizing Mauritius 18/1, Confirmed promise of hurdling debut under a no-nonsense ride when winning 14-runner maiden at Kilbeggan (15.1f) in April. Left Mrs J. Harrington for 28,000 gns after and possibly needed the run when second in a Sedgefield novice in September. Makes handicap debut in a first-time tongue strap.

However, has joined a yard adept at rejuvenating new recruits and he could be worth chancing. Cheekpieces back on.
11 2nd (11) (12/1 -41%) Written Broadcast	12 12/1(-41%)	(11) Written Broadcast 12/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. 12/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 16 days ago, pushed along early in straight and making only late headway. Needs to step up on that to figure.
7 3rd (7) (8/1 +43%) Luxy Lou	8 8/1(+43%)	(7) Luxy Lou 8/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. Last of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago, eased off home turn. No forlorn hope if leaving that in her wake.
4 4th (4) (25/1 +0%) Chloellie	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Chloellie 25/1, 33/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in September, ridden 3f out and fading final 1f. Given a break since and refitting of a visor may perk her up.
9 5th (9) (28/1 -100%) The Game Of Life	28 28/1(-100%)	(9) The Game Of Life 28/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 40/1) 16 days ago, always behind. Entitled to be sharper given that was his first start for 8 months and usual headgear refitted now.
3 6th (3) (4/1 -45%) Chantreys	4 4/1(-45%)	(3) Chantreys 4/1, Mayson mare who was proving consistent at a low level during the summer, creditable fourth in a C&D minor event back in August. Absent since but no surprise to see her thereabouts on return.

2 8th (2) (125/1 -56%) Caramello	125 125/1(-56%)	(2) Caramello 125/1, Little form in maidens/handicaps, including when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 100/1) on yard debut 16 days ago.

5 1st (5) (2.5/1 +17%) Irish Hill	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(5) Irish Hill 2.5/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in Germany and did well in this sphere last season, winning juvenile and a Chepstow handicap. Very well backed and went one better than on his first 2 starts this season at Taunton (19f, good to soft) in November and there could be even more to come.
3 2nd (3) (14/1 +36%) Haafapiece	14 14/1(+36%)	(3) Haafapiece 14/1, Won twice at Wetherby last season but evidently slower to come to hand this season than last. Now operating from 10 lb below his last successful mark but this previous C&D winner needs to show more.
15 3rd (15) (25/1 -25%) Small Bad Bob	25 25/1(-25%)	(15) Small Bad Bob 25/1, Three-time winner last season who is operating below best at present. Mark on the slide as a result but tough to support.
11 4th (11) (5.5/1 -22%) Mayhem Mya	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(11) Mayhem Mya 5.5/1, Dual-bumper winner who confirmed hurdling debut promise when wide-margin winner at Chepstow (2m) in January. Failed to complete making her handicap debut/return at Bangor (19.6f, heavy) in November so she's worth another chance.
13 5th (13) (22/1 -57%) Krypton Gold	22 22/1(-57%)	(13) Krypton Gold 22/1, Ended last season with ready win at Ascot in March and has been holding his form well during the current campaign, finishing placed for the fourth start in a row at Uttoxeter in November. Handicapper has him about right.
2 6th (2) (5.5/1 +21%) Johnson's Blue	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(2) Johnson's Blue 5.5/1, Rapid improver in handicaps, completing a 4-timer with plenty to spare at Cartmel in July. Winning run ended when fading into fourth at Aintree (3m) in November but quickly regained the winning thread at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Respected up another 4 lb.
7 7th (7) (80/1 +20%) The Big Lense	80 80/1(+20%)	(7) The Big Lense 80/1, Out of sorts when last seen on the track for Gordon Elliott in the summer. Yard switch needs to spark a big resurgence.
9 \|PU\| (9) (3.5/1 +53%) Carrigdoun Boy	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(9) Carrigdoun Boy 3.5/1, Point winner at second attempt who looked potentially useful when making perfect start in bumpers at Southwell. Left his hurdling debut form behind when pulling clear with an odds-on favourite at Kempton (16f, soft) 6 weeks ago so he's fancied to be in the mix on handicap debut.
8 \|PU\| (8) (8.5/1 +15%) Thirtyfourstitches	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(8) Thirtyfourstitches 8.5/1, Likeable front-runner who was prolific last season, notching his seventh victory with a career-best effort at Market Rasen in April. Pulled up on first 2 starts this time round but back on song reverted to forcing tactics when causing a surprise at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 12 days ago.
1 \|PU\| (1) (14/1 -40%) Kihavah	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Kihavah 14/1, In winning form on the Flat last year and he resumed over timber with a good second of 12 in a competitive 2m handicap at Market Rasen in September. Closing into fourth when departing there a month later and returns after 11 weeks off with a tongue tie back on (also had a wind op).
4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -57%) Made For You	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Made For You 22/1, Positive start to this season when runner-up at Warwick (19f, soft) in November and made the most of a good opportunity to notch a fifth win over timber at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) last month. Up another 3 lb and he could be vulnerable in this.
14 \|PU\| (14) (25/1 -39%) Nextdoortoalice	25 25/1(-39%)	(14) Nextdoortoalice 25/1, Winning start for this yard in 19.5f Doncaster novice last November. Bagged an uncontested lead and returned to form down in grade after 7 months off when third at Wincanton (21.4f, good) 8 weeks ago but others make more appeal in this.
6 \|PU\| (6) (28/1 +30%) Stimulating Song	28 28/1(+30%)	(6) Stimulating Song 28/1, Winner over hurdles at Cheltenham in November 2020 but not seen again until 3 disappointing runs this season, including back over timber last time. Best watched.
16 \|PU\| (16) (33/1 -106%) Baddesley	33 33/1(-106%)	(16) Baddesley 33/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt when making virtually all the running at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) in November but put in a lacklustre effort in his follow up bid there 12 days ago. Headgear applied today as well as the usual tongue tie.
10 \|PU\| (10) (50/1 +0%) Glimpse Of Gold	50 50/1(+0%)	(10) Glimpse Of Gold 50/1, Completed the hat-trick at Stratford in June. Something of a mixed bag since, though, and while he's capable of a prominent showing if on-song, the percentage call is to look elsewhere.

8 3rd (8) (6.5/1 +46%) Catlin	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(8) Catlin 6.5/1, Back to form when scoring at Newcastle in November but she tends to save her best for that track and she failed to back it up at Southwell 3 weeks ago.
3 4th (3) (12/1 -100%) Maid Of Houxty	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Maid Of Houxty 12/1, Largely disappointed over hurdles last term and held back by her jumping sent chasing on return at Ayr. However, she was more slick in that department when runner-up at Kelso (26.2f, soft) last time and a reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture.
5 5th (5) (33/1 -32%) Alone No More	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Alone No More 33/1, Rules form is pretty uninspiring and he was last of 5 in a point when last seen in May. Worth a market check starting out for a new yard, though.
1 6th (1) (10/1 -54%) Faitque De L'Isle	10 10/1(-54%)	(1) Faitque De L'Isle 10/1, Fair form over fences in France in 2020 and got off the mark for current yard at Ffos Las (23.8f) in October. Bit disappointing since, though.
6 7th (6) (6.5/1 +54%) Absolutely Dylan	6.5 6.5/1(+54%)	(6) Absolutely Dylan 6.5/1, On a long losing run and produced a laboured effort after 15 months off at Hexham (15.6f, heavy) 46 days ago. Tumbles further in the weights and this step back up in trip should at least be in his favour.
7 \|PU\| (7) (11/1 +31%) The Very Thing	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) The Very Thing 11/1, C&D winner around this time last year and showed a bit more encouragement over an inadequate trip here last time. Claims if he can build on that.
9 \|PU\| (9) (16/1 +60%) Amber Run	16 16/1(+60%)	(9) Amber Run 16/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser and recent efforts suggest he's unlikely to land a first career success here from out of the weights. Wind op/visor back on.

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (8/1 +11%) Hector Javilex	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) Hector Javilex 8/1, Dual winner over hurdles who ran well when fourth of 18 on his handicap debut at this course (21f, good, 13/2) 51 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Merits consideration up in trip.
8 2nd (8) (3.5/1 +22%) Jet Of Magic	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(8) Jet Of Magic 3.5/1, Improved for the fitting of cheekpieces towards the end of last season and having joined Paul Nicholls, was heavily backed to make it 3 wins from his last 4 outings on return at Hereford. Would have followed up under a penalty but for a bad error 2 out at Taunton and remains of interest.
7 3rd (7) (4/1 +0%) Abuffalosoldier	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Abuffalosoldier 4/1, Showed improved form to resume winning ways on just his second handicap start in 14-runner event at Newbury (24.2f, good to soft) 37 days ago, relishing the step up to 3m. That form has already been franked by the runner-up and 3rd and he's totally unexposed as a stayer.
3 4th (3) (6.5/1 +13%) Dolphin Square	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(3) Dolphin Square 6.5/1, Had a very productive 2021/22 season, winning 5 times, including this corresponding event. Fortunate to win on reappearance at Sandown (Call Me Lord's rider eased prematurely) but has clearly returned in good heart and looks sure to go well again.
2 5th (2) (7/1 +13%) Call Me Lord	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Call Me Lord 7/1, Belied market unease as he capitalised on a falling mark after 7 months off at Kempton (21f) in November and should have followed up at Sandown, his claiming rider mistaking the winning post and paying the price as Dolphin Square swooped. More needed now.
1 6th (1) (16/1 -78%) Thomas Darby	16 16/1(-78%)	(1) Thomas Darby 16/1, Unreliable type who won the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury in 2021/22 but was a well-beaten third in that corresponding race last time. This is more suitable but has a fair bit to prove at present.
10 7th (10) (11/1 +8%) Bridge North	11 11/1(+8%)	(10) Bridge North 11/1, Maiden/novice hurdle winner last season and creditable fifth in 3m Aintree Grade 1 on final start. Shaped quite well in 2½m handicap won by Peking Rose back at Aintree on his reappearance but was pulled up in handicap won by Dolphin Square at Newbury 29 days ago. Needs to bounce back in a big way.
11 8th (11) (22/1 +33%) Del La Mar Rocket	22 22/1(+33%)	(11) Del La Mar Rocket 22/1, Landed a Ffos Las maiden in February but has been held back by his jumping since, including when last of 5 in Uttoxeter handicap (23.3f, soft) on his return. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Others more persuasive.
5 \|PU\| (5) (7/1 +0%) Wilde About Oscar	7 7/1(+0%)	(5) Wilde About Oscar 7/1, Endured a disappointing 2021-22 campaign but proved better than ever upped in trip when just failing in Sandown handicap (23.4f) won by Dolphin Square 29 days ago. Well in the mix with a repeat.
4 \|PU\| (4) (10/1 +44%) Brinkley	10 10/1(+44%)	(4) Brinkley 10/1, Is potentially on a good mark but things happening too quickly for him from some way out on his reappearance at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft)) 43 days ago. Visor on for 1st time and ideally needs plenty of rain.

2 2nd (2) (8/1 +20%) Capilano Bridge	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Capilano Bridge 8/1, Promising sort. Fifth of 8 in novice chase (50/1) at Naas (20f, soft) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Likely to improve.
1 3rd (1) (5/1 -43%) Ballykeel	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Ballykeel 5/1, Promising sort. Good third of 7 in novice chase (10/1) at Thurles (24.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Holds good claims on form.
5 4th (5) (22/1 +56%) Junior Rattler	22 22/1(+56%)	(5) Junior Rattler 22/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Tenth of 14 in novice chase (50/1) at Wexford (16f, heavy) on debut over fences 62 days ago. Significantly up in trip with more needed.

13 1st (13) (4/1 +50%) Lightonthewing	4 4/1(+50%)	(13) Lightonthewing 4/1, Shaped with plenty of encouragement after 8 months off over hurdles here 6 weeks ago and on a good mark if taking to chasing.
10 2nd (10) (7.5/1 +25%) Kingcormac	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(10) Kingcormac 7.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving Nigel Hawke when third of 11 in handicap chase (33/1) at Ludlow (20f, good to soft) on debut over fences 32 days ago. Needs to back it up now.
4 3rd (4) (6.5/1 +13%) Imperial Joe	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(4) Imperial Joe 6.5/1, Returned with Newton Abbot win but below form fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Taunton (18.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Enters calculations if shrugging off latest effort.
5 4th (5) (4/1 +11%) Bebraveforglory	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) Bebraveforglory 4/1, Resumed with success at Stratford but raced too keenly when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good, 13/8) 52 days ago. Player if settling better back in trip and eased 1 lb.
11 5th (11) (28/1 -12%) Flash Gorcombe	28 28/1(-12%)	(11) Flash Gorcombe 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (16.7f, good to soft, 400/1) 48 days ago. Much more is required on his debut over fences.
9 6th (9) (5.5/1 +39%) Just Go For It	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(9) Just Go For It 5.5/1, Poor winner at 22f over hurdles. Only fair third of 9 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, soft, 6/1) on debut over fences 47 days ago. Needs to build on it now.
6 7th (6) (8/1 +20%) Eurowork	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Eurowork 8/1, C&D winner. Below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase (20/1) at Hereford (20.9f, soft) 47 days ago though so he needs to bounce back.
12 8th (12) (33/1 -106%) Dont Be Robin	33 33/1(-106%)	(12) Dont Be Robin 33/1, Scored off 2 lb higher at Plumpton last season but typically in-and-out after and returns with others preferred.
3 \|PU\| (3) (9/1 -13%) Ambion Hill	9 9/1(-13%)	(3) Ambion Hill 9/1, 7/4, respectable second of 6 in handicap chase at Wincanton (15.7f, good). Off 9 months but he's not taken lightly from a tempting mark.
7 \|PU\| (7) (16/1 +43%) Arctic Footprint	16 16/1(+43%)	(7) Arctic Footprint 16/1, Maiden hurdler who came in below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (24.7f, 80/1) 31 days ago. Makes chase debut with plenty to prove.
1 \|PU\| (1) (25/1 -150%) Calvinist	25 25/1(-150%)	(1) Calvinist 25/1, Modest winner at 14f on flat. Evens, first run since leaving Kevin Frost when last of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f, good) on debut over fences 49 days ago. More is needed.

7 2nd (7) (3.33/1 -21%) Holmes St Georges	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(7) Holmes St Georges 3.33/1, Made a successful transition to handicaps when winning 5-runner event (7/4) at this track (15.6f, heavy) 2 months ago. 9 lb higher mark demands more but he's certainly going the right way.
9 3rd (9) (4/1 +0%) Ilanz	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) Ilanz 4/1, Bumper winner who arrives on a hat-trick after ready handicap successes at Market Rasen and Taunton last month. Hiked up 12 lb now but he's still not taken lightly.
3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +27%) Findthetime	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(3) Findthetime 5.5/1, Very progressive over hurdles last season, completing a hat-trick in the mud at Wetherby (19.7f) in February. Improved again when runner-up there on reappearance in October but disappointed when sent off favourite at Haydock a month later. Bounce back required.
8 5th (8) (9/1 +44%) Ginger Mail	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) Ginger Mail 9/1, Promising sort who improved again to double his tally in a 7-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr on reappearance. Limitations exposed in a better race at Haydock (18.9f, good to soft) next time so needs to get back on track here.
5 6th (5) (125/1 -1036%) Excelcius	125 125/1(-1036%)	(5) Excelcius 125/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Thomas Mullins in Ireland, successful 3 times in 2021. However, he's yet to fire on both starts for his new yard so has plenty to prove. Cheekpieces applied today.
1 \|F\| (1) (12/1 +14%) Gaelik Coast	12 12/1(+14%)	(1) Gaelik Coast 12/1, Useful winning chaser and in good form back hurdling this season, winning at Worcester in June and back to his best when runner-up at Doncaster (19.4f, good) last month. This looks tougher, however.

1 1st (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Bolintlea	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(1) Bolintlea 2.5/1, Fair hurdler has reached a similar level in pair of chase starts so far, very much bumping into a handicap blot when second of 5 at Fontwell (26f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Shortlist material.
7 2nd (7) (10/1 -11%) Wildkatze	10 10/1(-11%)	(7) Wildkatze 10/1, Poor maiden chaser ran one of her better races when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wetherby (19.4f, soft) 29 days ago but will surely need a couple of these to falter if she's to get off the mark.
4 3rd (4) (12/1 +40%) Redbridge Rosie	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) Redbridge Rosie 12/1, Modest form at best in 4 starts over hurdles, failing to improve when fourth of 7 in handicap at this course (23.4f, soft, 22/1) 47 days ago. More needed on chase debut.
2 \|B\| (2) (1.75/1 +13%) Jessie Lightfoot	1.75 1.75/1(+13%)	(2) Jessie Lightfoot 1.75/1, Left John Groucott and returned to form to win 6-runner handicap chase at Southwell (25.8f, good to soft, 8/1) 21 days ago. That race somewhat fell apart, so she needs to improve further to defy 10 lb rise.
6 \|F\| (6) (40/1 -21%) Country Kitten	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Country Kitten 40/1, One win from 5 starts in points but little show in a trio of maiden hurdles and looks opposable on chase debut up in trip/fitted with tongue tie.
3 \|PU\| (3) (5/1 -11%) Hey Frankie	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Hey Frankie 5/1, Runner-up 3 times over hurdles during the summer. Unsuited by way race developed on chase debut (several fences omitted due to low sun) and could prove capable of better here granted greater stamina test. Cheekpieces/tongue tie go on.

6 3rd (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Bashful	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(6) Bashful 4.5/1, In good form, following up his Uttoxeter success with a good effort in a slowly-run 17f Sedgefield handicap 40 days ago. This is tougher.
11 4th (11) (33/1 -136%) Belle Na Bann	33 33/1(-136%)	(11) Belle Na Bann 33/1, Took handicaps at Fontwell (17.7f) and Newton Abbot (16.8f) this summer but good run of form came to a halt at Worcester when last seen 3 months ago and she starts out for a new yard here.
8 5th (8) (4.5/1 +63%) Coup De Gold	4.5 4.5/1(+63%)	(8) Coup De Gold 4.5/1, On a long losing run and well held again at Newcastle last time, the very steady early gallop not a help for a free-goer like him. First go over the minimum trip for a while and interesting if he's allowed to stride on.
12 6th (12) (22/1 -100%) Temper Trap	22 22/1(-100%)	(12) Temper Trap 22/1, Had a good summer on the Flat but failed to complete making handicap debut back over hurdles at Sedgefield 8 weeks ago.

Off 6 months, below-form fourth in 19f novice here 6 weeks ago but this drop back to 2m could suit this free-goer now handicapping. One to consider in first-time tongue tie.
13 8th (13) (22/1 -57%) Zara's Universe	22 22/1(-57%)	(13) Zara's Universe 22/1, Long-standing maiden who has several decent-enough bits and pieces of form to her name but suspect she'll do well to open her account in this.
1 9th (1) (5.5/1 -83%) Heritier	5.5 5.5/1(-83%)	(1) Heritier 5.5/1, Winner of handicap chases at Kelso and Market Rasen in recent months. Likely to make a bold bid for the hat-trick back hurdling.
9 \|F\| (9) (22/1 -38%) Ilaya	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Ilaya 22/1, Last win came from 23 lb higher but there's been little to shout about for a while and her record fresh isn't great.
10 10th (10) (18/1 +10%) Nechako	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Nechako 18/1, Some promise at Cartmel this summer but well beaten in 2 handicaps. Cheekpieces go on back down in trip.
5 \|PU\| (5) (25/1 +24%) Belvedere Blast	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Belvedere Blast 25/1, Won Hexham maiden in the summer but sketchy jumping means he comes with risks attached and he's been well beaten the last twice.
14 \|PU\| (14) (40/1 -43%) Snowed In	40 40/1(-43%)	(14) Snowed In 40/1, Won this in 2017 and 2018 but wasn't the same force when last seen in the spring.

2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +25%) Mille Miglia	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(2) Mille Miglia 4.5/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (10/3) at Kempton (12f) 32 days ago, leading final 1f. Nudged up just 3 lb and fancied to go well if taking to the tapeta.
1 4th (1) (4.5/1 -13%) Cappoquin	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(1) Cappoquin 4.5/1, Winner on first start for this yard at Wolverhampton in December. 5/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at same track (9.5f) 11 days ago, leading briefly 1f out. She should be in the mix again.
9 5th (9) (10/1 +29%) Miss Harmony	10 10/1(+29%)	(9) Miss Harmony 10/1, Fared better than of late when fourth of 5 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Others make more appeal in this, however.
6 6th (6) (16/1 -33%) Addosh	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Addosh 16/1, 9/2, run best excused when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good to soft) 62 days ago (saddle slipped after first). Not seen on the level since summer 2021 so easy enough to look elsewhere.
5 7th (5) (28/1 -12%) Nuble	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Nuble 28/1, Four wins from 12 runs last year. Respectable 4½ lengths third of 5 to Cappoquin in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 8/1) 20 days ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Must improve.
8 8th (8) (10/1 -33%) Pure Motion	10 10/1(-33%)	(8) Pure Motion 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, improved when fifth of 14 on handicap debut at Chelmsford City (10f) 31 days ago. Still early days and there could be more to come with first-time cheekpieces applied.
4 9th (4) (8/1 -45%) Golden Chain	8 8/1(-45%)	(4) Golden Chain 8/1, Proved to be a disappointment when third of 6 in maiden (6/4) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 20 days ago, held when hampered. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she needs to bounce back.
10 10th (10) (18/1 +10%) Foursome	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Foursome 18/1, Ran to a similar level as on stable debut when fifth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at this course (14.1f) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Has work to do.

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.
