11 2nd (11) (4.5/1 +44%) Alberic	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(11) Alberic 4.5/1, Going the right way at a low level in the spring and picked up where he left off for new yard when third at Worcester in October. First disappointing run since when mid-field at Taunton.
6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +59%) Merry Mistress	3.5 3.5/1(+59%)	(6) Merry Mistress 3.5/1, Bumper winner who opened her account over hurdles in a C&D handicap in November, doing it readily. Sound fourth from revised mark at Wincanton and she can remain competitive.
1 4th (1) (7/1 +13%) Greenrock Abbey	7 7/1(+13%)	(1) Greenrock Abbey 7/1, Point winner. Well held on his completed start in novice hurdles for Alan King last term but has shaped with some promise both outings for this yard. Well-run race would suit.
3 5th (3) (18/1 -50%) Mojito Royale	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Mojito Royale 18/1, Fair form in a couple of bumpers and progressive over hurdles, third in a big-field C&D novice 3 weeks ago. Opening mark looks fair.
4 6th (4) (4.5/1 -50%) Brilliant Present	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(4) Brilliant Present 4.5/1, AW bumper winner last winter and best effort yet over hurdles wen fourth of 7 at Taunton in November. That race worked out and her opening mark could be lenient back up in trip.
7 7th (7) (6.5/1 -8%) Jaytee	6.5 6.5/1(-8%)	(7) Jaytee 6.5/1, Yet to score but he is knocking at the door, excellent clear second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (21ft) 26 days ago. Has to be of interest up 2 lb.
8 8th (8) (50/1 -213%) Rockhamtom	50 50/1(-213%)	(8) Rockhamtom 50/1, Lightly-raced hurdler who failed to surpass modest form for Philip Hobbs. Made the frame in a couple of Irish points since and now has cheekpieces fitted.

5 11th (5) (100/1 -300%) Sinister Minister	100 100/1(-300%)	(5) Sinister Minister 100/1, Modest in bumpers and having left Nigel Twiston-Davies after a couple of bumper runs, he ran no sort of race on October's handicap debut. Tongue tie back on.
13 12th (13) (150/1 -436%) Fair To Dream	150 150/1(-436%)	(13) Fair To Dream 150/1, Poor hurdler/chaser so east to look elsewhere on his return to action.

2 2nd (2) (1.5/1 +25%) Exceling	1.5 1.5/1(+25%)	(2) Exceling 1.5/1, Winner at Kempton in November. Sixth of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) 40 days ago, not ideally placed. Well worth another chance.
6 3rd (6) (5.5/1 -38%) Major Gatsby	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(6) Major Gatsby 5.5/1, Respectable seventh of 12 in nursery (14/1) at Kempton (8f) 18 days ago, doing too much too soon. Blinkers now on and looks worth another go back sprinting.
7 4th (7) (9/1 -20%) Surrey Territories	9 9/1(-20%)	(7) Surrey Territories 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable 5¼ lengths sixth of 12 to Exceling in nursery (40/1) at Kempton (6f) 53 days ago, inadequate test.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (4.5/1 +10%) Hayedo	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(2) Hayedo 4.5/1, Fair ex-French maiden on the level. Much improved from hurdling debut when third in 2m juvenile at Sandown 32 days ago and there may be more to come.
1 2nd (1) (7/1 -110%) Big Boy Bobby	7 7/1(-110%)	(1) Big Boy Bobby 7/1, Fairly useful on Flat, stays 1½m, not disgraced last time. Has left Roger Charlton and looks an interesting hurdling newcomer.
4 3rd (4) (1.62/1 +35%) Line Of Descent	1.62 1.62/1(+35%)	(4) Line Of Descent 1.62/1, Fairly useful on Flat for the Crisfords and, having changed hands for 135,000 gns in October, he shaped pretty well when fourth on hurdles debut at Newbury (16.3f). Improvement on the cards.
3 4th (3) (6.5/1 -30%) Krypton Gold	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(3) Krypton Gold 6.5/1, Half-brother to very smart hurdler Aspire Tower. Modest maiden on Flat (sold for 4,000 gns), but in the frame both starts over hurdles and should remain competitive.
6 5th (6) (22/1 +12%) Pride Of Nepal	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Pride Of Nepal 22/1, Fair and proven at 1½m on the Flat. Showed a bit of promise on Fontwell hurdles debut in November but ran to only a similar level at Newbury next time. More needed.
5 6th (5) (50/1 -79%) My Ticketyboo	50 50/1(-79%)	(5) My Ticketyboo 50/1, Shirocco gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) Last Goodbye. Market perhaps best guide to expectations on debut.
10 7th (10) (200/1 -100%) Rattling Rosie	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) Rattling Rosie 200/1, Boasts some fair form on the Flat for Tom Dascombe, but has been well held in 2 juvenile events over hurdles, refusing to settle.
9 \|U\| (9) (3.2/1 +29%) Winterwatch	3.2 3.2/1(+29%)	(9) Winterwatch 3.2/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Andre Balding, stays 13f, won 2 of 6 starts and improved further when third last time. Hood retained for hurdle debut and one to consider.
11 \|PU\| (11) (33/1 -18%) Unfinished Busines	33 33/1(-18%)	(11) Unfinished Busines 33/1, Boasts a good pedigree but looked one for longer term on hurdling debut at Leicester in November. Cheekpieces on for the 1st time.
8 \|PU\| (8) (50/1 -127%) Saveasea	50 50/1(-127%)	(8) Saveasea 50/1, Little impact in an Aintree bumper on debut and didn't fare any better on recent hurdling debut at Warwick. Tongue tie quickly added.
7 \|PU\| (7) (300/1 -140%) Sand In My Shoes	300 300/1(-140%)	(7) Sand In My Shoes 300/1, Offered little in three runs on the level for Roger Charlton and showed nothing on last month's hurdling/stable debut at Sandown. Visored for 1st time.

13:30 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (3/1 +14%) Metal Man	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Metal Man 3/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 24 days ago, well positioned. Proving consistent for present stable and no reason why he won't give another good account.
3 2nd (3) (2.75/1 +50%) Denable	2.75 2.75/1(+50%)	(3) Denable 2.75/1, Good second of 10 in handicap (17/2) at Southwell (16.5f) 18 days ago, not helping himself by lugging left up the straight but running on. Not discounted with a repeat.
2 3rd (2) (40/1 -14%) Aleatoric	40 40/1(-14%)	(2) Aleatoric 40/1, C&D winner who scored 3 times during 2020. However, form tailed off during second half of last year, last of 9 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 28 days ago, going off too hard. Others preferred.
4 4th (4) (40/1 -300%) Celtic Classic	40 40/1(-300%)	(4) Celtic Classic 40/1, Bounced back to form and showed a good attitude to boot when making a winning debut for Neil King at Wolverhampton (14f) last month. Has since switched yards again but 2 lb rise gives him claims.
1 5th (1) (25/1 -79%) Cabalgata	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Cabalgata 25/1, Long-standing maiden who ran best race for John Halley in Ireland when second at Limerick (17f) in July 2020. Below that level later that month and betting best guide on belated return for new yard.
9 6th (9) (28/1 +7%) Miss Pollyanna	28 28/1(+7%)	(9) Miss Pollyanna 28/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 66/1, not disgraced fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 35 days ago. Still, others make more appeal for win purposes.
12 7th (12) (16/1 +11%) Emanate	16 16/1(+11%)	(12) Emanate 16/1, 12/1 and hooded for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
8 8th (8) (3.33/1 +52%) Hannalite	3.33 3.33/1(+52%)	(8) Hannalite 3.33/1, Respectable third of 12 in a C&D handicap 35 days ago, headway home turn but one paced. Still, not taken lightly in a wide open affair.
7 9th (7) (25/1 -257%) Dolly Mcqueen	25 25/1(-257%)	(7) Dolly Mcqueen 25/1, Flat winner who arrives having landed back-to-back selling hurdles at around 2m in recent months. Shouldn't be dismissed lightly back on the level in present groove.
6 10th (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Leroy Brown	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(6) Leroy Brown 4.5/1, Bumper winner who ran best race for a while when runner-up in a C&D handicap in November. Not in same form when sixth behind Celtic Classic at Wolverhampton since but bounce back not ruled out.
10 11th (10) (200/1 -203%) Tilsworth Sammy	200 200/1(-203%)	(10) Tilsworth Sammy 200/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 66/1, last of 8 in handicap at this course (12f, AW) 17 days ago, having run of race. Others make much more appeal.
11 12th (11) (20/1 +0%) Iconic Mover	20 20/1(+0%)	(11) Iconic Mover 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good, 33/1) 82 days ago, never on terms. Remains less exposed than most so not one to write off at this level.

12 2nd (12) (4/1 +0%) Art Of Diplomacy	4 4/1(+0%)	(12) Art Of Diplomacy 4/1, Flat winner who was in process of running big race when exiting at final flight on handicap debut at Huntingdon (25f). Made a winning start for new yard at Ludlow and there's more to come.
10 3rd (10) (16/1 -14%) Steinkraus	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Steinkraus 16/1, Improved performer switched to handicaps of late, excuses for effort here in November and that run flanked by wins. 7 lb rise asks for more but he's clearly in good order.
4 4th (4) (7/1 +13%) Mr Washington	7 7/1(+13%)	(4) Mr Washington 7/1, Four-time hurdle winner last winter and resumed progress straight away after 9 months off with victory in 23.6f handicap at Chepstow in November. Cracking second at Uttoxeter since.

11 6th (11) (33/1 -106%) Fifrelet	33 33/1(-106%)	(11) Fifrelet 33/1, Dual-bumper winner who made most of good opening to score on hurdles bow at Newton Abbot (21.5f) in September. Couple of heavy defeats since and now upped markedly in trip for handicap debut.
14 7th (14) (10/1 +38%) Beau Haze	10 10/1(+38%)	(14) Beau Haze 10/1, Completed a double at Ffos Las in May and has hit the frame all 3 outings upon return. Likely to give another good account if staying this new trip.
3 8th (3) (6/1 -100%) Scarpia	6 6/1(-100%)	(3) Scarpia 6/1, Much improved when opening account in good style in 17.7f Fontwell novice hurdle in March, staying on well. Excellent return to action when runner-up on handicap debut at Ascot (21.6f). Up in trip.
13 9th (13) (11/1 +8%) Glance From Clover	11 11/1(+8%)	(13) Glance From Clover 11/1, Upped his game when second of 12 in handicap hurdle here (21.7f, heavy) in March. Not as good at Worcester 2 months later and off since.
2 \|U\| (2) (33/1 -83%) Mr Clarkson	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Mr Clarkson 33/1, Losing run dates back to July 2019 but he dropped in the weights and found only one too good at Worcester in May. Off since but in very capable hands.
1 10th (1) (8/1 +0%) Theme Tune	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Theme Tune 8/1, Much better sent hurdling up in trip last winter, winning in the mud at Ludlow and Carlisle. Jumped poorly on handicap debut in March and that was also the case fitted with cheekpieces on return.
5 11th (5) (20/1 -25%) Global Harmony	20 20/1(-25%)	(5) Global Harmony 20/1, Suited by increase in trip when landing 4-runner mares' handicap over C&D in March. Low-key start over fences but could easily get back on track over timber in headgear.
6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 -21%) Subcontinent	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Subcontinent 40/1, Scored over fences at Ludlow in February but has failed to complete in his 3 runs since. Plenty to prove at present for all he represents an in-form yard.
8 \|PU\| (8) (150/1 -50%) Fitzroy	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Fitzroy 150/1, Fairly useful hurdles winner for Olly Murphy but proved disappointing over fences/hurdles in second half of 2021, including on stable debut.

14 \|PU\| (14) (16/1 +0%) Hill Of Hope	16 16/1(+0%)	(14) Hill Of Hope 16/1, Offered little in trio of starts over hurdles in Ireland in the spring. Placed in points since, though, and showed a bit more than being pulled up would suggest on chase debut (found to have bled).

15:50 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 (5) (100/1 +0%) Monition	100 100/1(+0%)	(5) Monition 100/1, Long-standing maiden in Ireland who has disappointed on 2 of his 3 starts for his present stable, including when pulled up back from 8 months off over fences at Bangor in December. Visor reached for.
6 1st (6) (9/1 -64%) Jobesgreen Lad	9 9/1(-64%)	(6) Jobesgreen Lad 9/1, Placed 3 times in 2m handicap hurdles and confirmed chase debut form when keeping on well to open his account at Ludlow (20f) 4 weeks ago. Looks one to put it up to Nocte Volatus with a repeat.
3 2nd (3) (6/1 +25%) Poniente	6 6/1(+25%)	(3) Poniente 6/1, Maiden who did better for return/chase debut when fourth over extended 25f here last month, albeit not looking entirely straightforward. Handicapper has relinquished his grip a little more.
8 3rd (8) (11/1 -10%) Galtee Mountain	11 11/1(-10%)	(8) Galtee Mountain 11/1, Hurdles winner who has filled runners-up spot on 2 of his 4 starts over fences, albeit not convincing with his jumping at Fontwell latterly. Refitting of cheekpieces may help now.
13 4th (13) (40/1 -21%) Take Em Out	40 40/1(-21%)	(13) Take Em Out 40/1, Matched fair hurdles form when landing a Stratford chase in July 2019. Restricted to just 6 runs since, disappointing on the back of a wind op at Stratford in October.
14 5th (14) (50/1 +38%) Thais Toir	50 50/1(+38%)	(14) Thais Toir 50/1, Signs of promise over hurdles for Tom Lacey but well held all 3 starts for this yard, pulled up on return/chase debut at Bangor (20.3f) early on last month.
10 6th (10) (66/1 -164%) Broughtons Rhythm	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Broughtons Rhythm 66/1, On a long losing run (maiden over fences) and whilst he finished runner-up at Wincanton (20f) on his latest start he was readily put in his place then. Others make more appeal.
7 7th (7) (22/1 -83%) Legendary Rhythm	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Legendary Rhythm 22/1, Improved form when landing mares' handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in March. Not disgraced either start this autumn in that sphere and worth noting in the betting now tackling larger obstacles.
12 \|PU\| (12) (11/1 +8%) Admiral Balko	11 11/1(+8%)	(12) Admiral Balko 11/1, Made a winning handicap hurdle debut at Wincanton in March and some promise to glean from chase debut fourth over 2m here in November. Disappointed at Bangor next time, however.
1 \|PU\| (1) (40/1 -43%) Glasha's Peak	40 40/1(-43%)	(1) Glasha's Peak 40/1, Maiden who has shaped up well over hurdles on occasions, not seen to best effect when midfield in a 17-runner handicap at Wincanton (19.7f) last month. Can go well now tackling larger obstacles.
4 \|PU\| (4) (66/1 -32%) O Ceallaigh	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) O Ceallaigh 66/1, Veteran who is yet to score over fences and whilst he may have found his Leicester assignment coming too soon 3 weeks ago, he's essentially not one to be making many excuses for. Cheekpieces back on.
11 \|PU\| (11) (80/1 -21%) Spider Cullen	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Spider Cullen 80/1, Placed in a point and promise in maiden hurdles for Denis Hickey in Ireland, but he's yet to get going for this yard, including in 3 starts over fences. Cheekpieces reached for now.
9 \|PU\| (9) (100/1 -150%) Bilboa River	100 100/1(-150%)	(9) Bilboa River 100/1, Ex-pointer who hasn't offered a great deal over hurdles, only fifth of 7 in a novice claimer on his latest outing in December. Switch to chasing needs to have positive effect now.
2 \|RO\| (2) (0.5/1 +6%) Nocte Volatus	0.5 0.5/1(+6%)	(2) Nocte Volatus 0.5/1, Had race at mercy when falling last on return at Market Rasen (19f) and duly confirmed promise of that run when bolting up at Catterick (19.2f) last week. Unpenalised for that and tough to beat.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (3/1 -33%) Star Shield	3 3/1(-33%)	(3) Star Shield 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Second of 4 in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 14 days ago, well positioned but beaten by only a thriving rival.
1 2nd (1) (1.5/1 +40%) Imperial Command	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(1) Imperial Command 1.5/1, C&D winner. 5/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 18 days ago, not seen to best effect in a steadily-run affair.
2 3rd (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Darwell Lion	3.33 3.33/1(-21%)	(2) Darwell Lion 3.33/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Third of 4 in handicap (5/6) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago. Same mark here.

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (12/1 -33%) Atrafan	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Atrafan 12/1, Dual C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, again ran below best when seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 18 days ago. Needs to step up again if he's to figure in refitted cheekpieces.
10 2nd (10) (16/1 -14%) Power Point	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Power Point 16/1, 25/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (5f) 24 days ago, struggling halfway and merely plugging on. Possible the drop to the minimum trip didn't suit then and worth this crack at 6f now.
2 3rd (2) (4.5/1 +40%) Clashaniska	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(2) Clashaniska 4.5/1, 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 63 days ago, missing break and always behind. Needs to keep the slow starts at bay if he's to play a meaningful role.
1 4th (1) (1.75/1 -7%) Bakr	1.75 1.75/1(-7%)	(1) Bakr 1.75/1, Visored for 1st time, stepped up on recent efforts when fourth of 10 in a C&D handicap last week, still plenty to do 1f out but noted running on. One to consider down in grade.
7 5th (7) (3/1 +40%) Birdie Bowers	3 3/1(+40%)	(7) Birdie Bowers 3/1, 7/2, tenth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 18 days ago, meeting trouble at a crucial stage. Had been shaping up respectably previously and no surprise to see him back to form here.
5 6th (5) (28/1 -100%) Nellie French	28 28/1(-100%)	(5) Nellie French 28/1, Back-to-back 5f winner early last year. Never figured on the back of 9 months off at Wolverhampton (6f) in December but she may well strip fitter for that here.
4 7th (4) (25/1 -178%) Independent Beauty	25 25/1(-178%)	(4) Independent Beauty 25/1, 12/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 13 days ago. Hadn't been disgraced preiously in a pair of C&D events and bounce back not ruled out.
8 8th (8) (14/1 -17%) Lancashire Life	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Lancashire Life 14/1, Shock 50/1 winner over C&D in October. 6/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 27 days ago. Headgear quickly discarded now.
6 9th (6) (14/1 +0%) Seeking Perfection	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Seeking Perfection 14/1, C&D winner who has yet to threaten in handful of starts for present stable, again below form in refitted cheekpieces when fifth in a 12-runner Wolverhampton handicap (6f) last month.
3 10th (3) (20/1 -122%) Marta Boy	20 20/1(-122%)	(3) Marta Boy 20/1, Course winner. First run since leaving David Evans when eighth of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 13 days ago. That was his first start for 6 months and this should reveal more.
11 11th (11) (100/1 -100%) Hungry Helen	100 100/1(-100%)	(11) Hungry Helen 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Improvement required now siwtched to handicaps even from this basement mark. Down in trip.

3 1st (3) (3/1 -50%) Fircombe Hall	3 3/1(-50%)	(3) Fircombe Hall 3/1, Resumed winning ways over C&D in November. 10/3, respectable third of 9 in a C&D handicap making late headway having been short of room 2f out. Possibilities again from this sort of mark.
10 2nd (10) (40/1 -43%) Tarnhelm	40 40/1(-43%)	(10) Tarnhelm 40/1, Untrustworthy individual who ran with credit when midfield in a pair of 1m handicaps here in October. However, well below that level back here in November and others appeal more for win purposes.
4 3rd (4) (6/1 -20%) Penombre	6 6/1(-20%)	(4) Penombre 6/1, Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap (5/1) at this course (5f) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for now and no forlorn hope back up at 6f.
6 4th (6) (100/1 -203%) The Last Knight	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) The Last Knight 100/1, 100/1, first run since leaving Paul Stafford when seventh of 8 in minor event at this C&D 14 days ago. Can only be watched at present.
5 5th (5) (2.75/1 +45%) Louis Treize	2.75 2.75/1(+45%)	(5) Louis Treize 2.75/1, Winless since 2-y-o days and essentially struggled for Richard Spencer/James Evans last year. Starts out for new yard on the back of a wind op/short break so worth a check in betting for clues.
2 6th (2) (3.5/1 -17%) Elektronic	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(2) Elektronic 3.5/1, 9/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 4 days ago, albeit not looking the easiest under pressure. Cheekpieces go back on now and not dismissed in an open-looking contest.
7 7th (7) (18/1 +45%) Oasis Law	18 18/1(+45%)	(7) Oasis Law 18/1, Last of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f) 26 days ago, driven halfway and soon beaten. Previous C&D fifth contained some promise though if she is able to bounce back.
1 8th (1) (11/1 +0%) Good Night Mr Tom	11 11/1(+0%)	(1) Good Night Mr Tom 11/1, C&D winner who essentially struggled to make an impact in handful of starts last year, ninth of 10 in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. Mark continues to ease at least.
9 9th (9) (40/1 +0%) Princess Mayson	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Princess Mayson 40/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 20/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Brighton (7f) in May, heavily eased off having seemingly looked ill-at-ease on the track. Break may have perked her up.
8 \|PU\| (8) (12/1 -85%) Sleight	12 12/1(-85%)	(8) Sleight 12/1, Visored for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 15/2) 21 days ago. Had shaped creditably on 2 of his 3 previous starts over C&D and each-way claims if he can bounce back.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (20/1 -67%) Tommy Taylor	20 20/1(-67%)	(7) Tommy Taylor 20/1, Two wins from 55 Flat runs. 10/1, third of 4 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 14 days ago, having run of race. Task now is to build on that effort back down in grade.
1 2nd (1) (1/1 +47%) Whittle Le Woods	1 1/1(+47%)	(1) Whittle Le Woods 1/1, Dual AW novice winner who displayed definite signs of promise in turf handicaps without getting his head in front thereafter last season. Has since joined another shrewd outfit and he's interesting.
8 3rd (8) (6.5/1 -63%) Burrows Seeside	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(8) Burrows Seeside 6.5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago, clear of rest. Looks competitive on form.
2 4th (2) (8/1 +20%) Triggered	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Triggered 8/1, Ended long losing run at Lingfield (6f, turf) back in June. MIxed bag thereafter but likely he'll strip fitter for last month's return/following a wind op. One to note in the betting.
9 5th (9) (28/1 -155%) Tathmeen	28 28/1(-155%)	(9) Tathmeen 28/1, 5-time course winner. 18/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 13 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others arrive with more pressing claims.
3 6th (3) (7/1 +0%) Stay Smart	7 7/1(+0%)	(3) Stay Smart 7/1, C&D winner. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 15/2) 13 days ago, running on. No reason why he won't give another good account.
5 7th (5) (22/1 -57%) Athollblair Boy	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Athollblair Boy 22/1, 4-time C&D winner. 9/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) in September, weakening over 1f out. Has fallen below last winning mark and not discounted back from a break.
4 8th (4) (6/1 -33%) Late Arrival	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Late Arrival 6/1, Successful over 7f here in August and confirmed recent positive signs when landing a C&D handicap under today's pilot 7 days ago, making all. Not ruled out with a repeat.
6 9th (6) (80/1 -186%) Mutabaahy	80 80/1(-186%)	(6) Mutabaahy 80/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, 11/1) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers may have a positive effect now.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
