Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (8.5/1 +39%) I Have A Voice	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(3) I Have A Voice 8.5/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in Ireland who improved on opening hurdling exploits to emphatically land a juvenile maiden at Southwell (15.8f) in November. Came up short on handicap bow at Wetherby since and he may find a couple too good here.
2 2nd (2) (4/1 +27%) Mombasa	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) Mombasa 4/1, Useful 17f dual hurdles winner in France (latterly at listed level) who changed hands for €250,000 in July. Return/yard debut fourth at Fontwell has to go down as disappointing but it remains very early days and no surprise to see a better showing here.
1 3rd (1) (0.36/1 -64%) Bo Zenith	0.36 0.36/1(-64%)	(1) Bo Zenith 0.36/1, Zarak gelding who looked a good prospect when landing newcomers race (from another useful prospect) at Auteuil (14.9f) sole start for David Cottin back in April. Another exciting French recruit for his good yard and highly respected.
5 4th (5) (33/1 +50%) Edinburgh Rock	33 33/1(+50%)	(5) Edinburgh Rock 33/1, Fair maiden on the Flat for Ralph Beckett (stays 1½m). Easy to back and ultimately finished well held on yard/hurdles debut at Taunton (16.5f) 8 days ago but yard do well in this sphere and he may come forward from that.

1 1st (1) (2/1 +33%) Ici La Reine	2 2/1(+33%)	(1) Ici La Reine 2/1, €60,000 3-y-o, Presenting mare. Sister to 2 winners, including ungenuine but fair chaser I'm Wiser Now, and half-sister to fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Reine Machine. Dam (h118), bumper/2m hurdle winner, half-sister to connections' smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) La Bague Au Roi. One to note.
6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 -125%) Femme Patronne	4.5 4.5/1(-125%)	(6) Femme Patronne 4.5/1, El Kabeir filly. Looked green but showed plenty to work on by the end when dead-heating for second on debut in a Huntingdon bumper (13.7f) 60 days ago, rallying well
9 3rd (9) (22/1 -38%) Woogrey	22 22/1(-38%)	(9) Woogrey 22/1, New Bay filly. Dam 9.2f winner. Rare NH runner for Flat yard and she's probably best watched on balance.
3 4th (3) (3.5/1 +50%) Theirshegoes	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(3) Theirshegoes 3.5/1, Court Cave mare. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France (stays 25f) Galop Marin and bumper winner/useful hurdler (2m winner) Gaelic Arc. Yard 1-5 with their bumper runners so far this term and market should guide here.
2 5th (2) (16/1 -78%) Maisie Too	16 16/1(-78%)	(2) Maisie Too 16/1, Modest form in trio of bumpers to date, plugging on for fourth on return from 5 months off over 2m at Kelso in November. Feasible to think she'll find a couple too good again.
8 6th (8) (33/1 +18%) Owzthat	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Owzthat 33/1, Jack Hobbs filly. Dam (c92/h110), 17f-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 23f), closely related to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stays 3m) Tupelo Mississippi. Yard 0-25 in bumpers in last 5 seasons.

7 9th (7) (125/1 -25%) Garswood Lady	125 125/1(-25%)	(7) Garswood Lady 125/1, Garswood filly. Dam placed only start on Flat. Sent off at 80/1 and left behind over 3f out when distant sixth of 8 in a junior bumper (12.3f) last month.

2 2nd (2) (0.67/1 +46%) Top Target	0.67 0.67/1(+46%)	(2) Top Target 0.67/1, Wide-margin winner on second start in points back in the spring and predictably knew what was required switched to bumpers when runner-up at Worcester in October. Made a successful debut over hurdles at Wetherby (21.2f, soft) 5 weeks ago but more is needed to defy a penalty.
12 3rd (12) (3/1 -20%) The Gooner	3 3/1(-20%)	(12) The Gooner 3/1, Easily won only start in Irish points from sole other finisher but having been sent off an odds-on favourite, failed to meet expectations when third in novice hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good to soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Clearly thought capable of better.
7 4th (7) (18/1 +73%) Herakles Westwood	18 18/1(+73%)	(7) Herakles Westwood 18/1, Showed fair form in a couple of bumpers last winter but has offered little in 2 starts over hurdles in recent months. Back up in trip today.
11 5th (11) (18/1 -200%) Pedley Wood	18 18/1(-200%)	(11) Pedley Wood 18/1, Successful sole outing in points but failed to meet expectations switched to Rules in a Fontwell novice hurdle (17.7f) just under 8 weeks ago, needing stiffer test. Should be capable of better now upped in trip.
3 6th (3) (125/1 -25%) Caeruleum	125 125/1(-25%)	(3) Caeruleum 125/1, Well held in pair of novice hurdles and looks one for handicaps later on.
5 7th (5) (4/1 -14%) De Wanted Warrior	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) De Wanted Warrior 4/1, Bred to stay well and left debut form well behind when third in Chepstow novice (23.6f, good) 5 weeks ago, not knocked about. Handicaps after this is probably where his future lies.
8 8th (8) (50/1 -100%) Imprevu Du Large	50 50/1(-100%)	(8) Imprevu Du Large 50/1, Kapgarde gelding who looked badly in need of the experience when finishing down the field in a bumper at Exeter (16.7f, good to soft) just under 8 weeks ago. Makes hurdles debut today and one of 3 representatives for Paul Nicholls.
6 9th (6) (125/1 +38%) Exmoor Forest	125 125/1(+38%)	(6) Exmoor Forest 125/1, Just one effort of note from 4 starts in bumpers and offered little sent hurdling after 9 months off at Ffos Las recently.
10 \|PU\| (10) (66/1 +0%) Jill's Memory	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Jill's Memory 66/1, Geordieland gelding. Dam (h92) maiden hurdler. Market check advised.

Improved again when making a successful handicap debut/reappearance over 2m here a month ago and she's the one to beat back up in trip.

Excellent return to action when runner-up at this level at Wetherby in October and again found only one too good trying 3m for the first time at Kempton a month later. Big player despite conceding weight all round.
3 3rd (3) (150/1 -50%) Ballycallan Fame	150 150/1(-50%)	(3) Ballycallan Fame 150/1, 125/1 novice hurdle winner at Wetherby 2 years ago. Showed that was no fluke when set for second until a final-flight fall there later that season but fleeting appearances since suggest she's been very hard to train. Hood left off.
4 4th (4) (40/1 +20%) Branson Missouri	40 40/1(+20%)	(4) Branson Missouri 40/1, Has taken form to a new level for this yard, landing brace of 2½m Worcester handicaps under Tom Scudamore in August/October.

1 2nd (1) (1.25/1 -37%) Tommy's Oscar	1.25 1.25/1(-37%)	(1) Tommy's Oscar 1.25/1, Really smart hurdler but he came in last of 5 in Fighting Fifth here 42 days ago. Has made a good start to chasing career too, second in Cheltenham Grade 2 latest run, and the one to beat here back over fences.
2 3rd (2) (2.25/1 +32%) Cormier	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(2) Cormier 2.25/1, Tough, dependable sort over hurdles who arrives on the back of a creditable sixth in 2m handicap at Cheltenham 55 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut.

Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chase winner up to 21f Le Chiffre d'Or and fair hurdler Accomplice.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (9/1 +25%) Poetic Force	9 9/1(+25%)	(3) Poetic Force 9/1, C&D winner who shaped better than the bare result when sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Can have a say if things develop a bit more favourably here.
2 2nd (2) (2/1 -33%) Free Solo	2 2/1(-33%)	(2) Free Solo 2/1, Ended a long losing run over C&D in December and showed a good attitude to follow up back up in trip 5 days ago. Has to be respected under a penalty in his hat-trick bid.
5 3rd (5) (2.25/1 +44%) Broxi	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(5) Broxi 2.25/1, Three wins from 14 runs last year, latest at Brighton in October, and has remained in form since, good second of 11 in C&D handicap (AW) last week. Highly likely to go well again.

3 1st (3) (9/1 +18%) Certainly Red	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) Certainly Red 9/1, Is a reliable sort and he readily resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap chase at Wincanton (25.1f) 37 days ago. In the mix despite taking a 5 lb rise.
5 2nd (5) (3/1 -20%) Gemirande	3 3/1(-20%)	(5) Gemirande 3/1, Ex-French recruit who is on the up for his current yard, emphatically landing 11-runner handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) 39 days ago. Runner-up has gone in since so he's a big player.
1 3rd (1) (9/1 -6%) Precious Eleanor	9 9/1(-6%)	(1) Precious Eleanor 9/1, Useful chaser who signed off for last term with success in 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham. Looked rusty after 7 months off when fourth of 6 in listed chase at Market Rasen (23.9f) 58 days ago so she enters calculations with that under her belt.
2 4th (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Scipion	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(2) Scipion 5.5/1, Runner-up both starts in points and this fairly useful winning hurdler made a promising chase debut when third of 5 in handicap at Uttoxeter (22.5f) 85 days ago. Open to improvement after a break.
6 5th (6) (7/1 +42%) High Stakes	7 7/1(+42%)	(6) High Stakes 7/1, Point/hurdle winner who had a wind op before posting a good third of 8 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f) 50 days ago. Back down in trip with tongue strap now on and not discounted.
4 6th (4) (4/1 -20%) Peejaybee	4 4/1(-20%)	(4) Peejaybee 4/1, Strong traveller who scored 3 times at up to 2m4f over hurdles last term, Given a considerate introduction to chasing in novice at Carlisle before falling 7th in Haydock handicap last month. Remains open to improvement.

2 1st (2) (1.62/1 +46%) O'toole	1.62 1.62/1(+46%)	(2) O'toole 1.62/1, Smart bumper performer progressed from run to run in 3 starts over hurdles last term. Should go on improving now switched to chasing and is much respected on his debut in this sphere.
1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +0%) Castle Rushen	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(1) Castle Rushen 4.5/1, Reached a fairly useful level as a novice hurdler (placed in listed/Grade 2 company) in 2020/21 before missing all of last season. Unseated rider on chase debut 11 days ago but still appeals as a type to make a better chaser.
5 3rd (5) (25/1 -79%) Dubai Days	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Dubai Days 25/1, Won trio of small-field handicap chases last term. No major impact in pair of starts so far this term, though weakened only late when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, soft, 9/2) 34 days ago and it's possible he's closer to full fitness now.
4 \|F\| (4) (14/1 -100%) The King Of May	14 14/1(-100%)	(4) The King Of May 14/1, C&D winner. Ran well on the book when second of 5 in handicap chase at Doncaster (19.1f, good) 43 days ago, but looked flattered by proximity having gone through the race in a very laboured manner. Bit to prove after that unappealing display.
9 \|PU\| (9) (6/1 +20%) Hidden Commander	6 6/1(+20%)	(9) Hidden Commander 6/1, Boasts a fine strike rate over fences, having scored on 5 of his 9 chase outings. Eked out bit more improvement to land 7-runner handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, soft, 16/5) 36 days ago. Has to be taken seriously from 4 lb higher mark.
8 \|PU\| (8) (8/1 +0%) Sirwilliamwallace	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Sirwilliamwallace 8/1, Recorded a second success over fences at Kelso (21.6f) in November. Lost action at Haydock only 8 days ago and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals if all is well this time around.
6 \|PU\| (6) (8.5/1 +6%) Dalyotin	8.5 8.5/1(+6%)	(6) Dalyotin 8.5/1, Off the mark over fences at Sedgefield (21.1f) in March and started this campaign with good second of 8 in handicap chase at Kelso in November. NOt in same form at Wetherby on Boxing Day but had previously looked on workable mark.
7 \|PU\| (7) (11/1 +8%) On Springs	11 11/1(+8%)	(7) On Springs 11/1, Not entirely straightforward but thrived during the summer, winning 4 of his 5 starts after returning from a break in June. Never going well before unseating at Cheltenham last time and further improvement is required to defy career high mark.
3 \|PU\| (3) (16/1 -60%) Slanelough	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Slanelough 16/1, Returned to form when springing a minor suprise to land 6-runner C&D event 51 days ago. 5 lb higher and in a deeper contest here, though, so he'll likely need more to follow up.

4 1st (4) (7/1 -17%) Elixir De Nutz	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Elixir De Nutz 7/1, Found handicaps at Cheltenham and Aintree festivals last spring well beyond him. Well beaten in another competitive race on his Ascot return but back on track returned to calmer waters when close second of 5 at Doncaster (2m) last month. Has first-time cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie. Player.
6 2nd (6) (3.33/1 +45%) Galahad Quest	3.33 3.33/1(+45%)	(6) Galahad Quest 3.33/1, Hurdles/chase winner who was a good second of 4 on his Chepstow reappearance in October. Made no impact in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham the following month but could bounce back in this less competitive scenario.
5 3rd (5) (2.12/1 +15%) Celebre D'Allen	2.12 2.12/1(+15%)	(5) Celebre D'Allen 2.12/1, Returned from a long absence with a bang last season, winning 3 handicaps (2 hurdle, 1 chase) and fine fifth in Plate at Cheltenham Festival final start. Fair reappearance fourth at Warwick (3m) and much respected for yard with a good record in this race.
1 4th (1) (8/1 -14%) Magic Saint	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Magic Saint 8/1, Course winner who recorded some useful efforts in defeat last season. Dropped 4 lb ahead of this reappearance and Freddie Gingell takes another 7 lb off. No surprise to see him heavily get involved.
2 5th (2) (5/1 +17%) Kiltealy Briggs	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) Kiltealy Briggs 5/1, Pulled up on final 2 outings last season but back on track with 21.5f Market Rasen handicap success on his reappearance in October. Creditable fourth of 13 at Aintree since. No reason why he won't give his running but he needs more from his mark.
3 \|PU\| (3) (5.5/1 -57%) Messire Des Obeaux	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(3) Messire Des Obeaux 5.5/1, Formerly a smart novice hurdler and winner of 2 chases over C&D in 2020/21, the latter a Grade 2.

6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 -100%) Fine Balance	3.5 3.5/1(-100%)	(6) Fine Balance 3.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 6/4, first run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when third of 5 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 17 days ago. Will benefit from this return to further and has solid claims.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (7/1 +56%) Xcitations	7 7/1(+56%)	(4) Xcitations 7/1, Ended last season with back-to-back 2m wins and, having shaped fairly well on return at Wetherby, he got back on the scoresheet at Doncaster last month, displaying good battling qualities in the process. Rider's claim negates the 3 lb rise he incurred for that and should make his presence felt.
6 2nd (6) (2.75/1 +21%) Corrigeen Rock	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(6) Corrigeen Rock 2.75/1, Fairly useful novice hurdler last season and winner of both completed starts over fences this season, latterly landing a C&D handicap in good style. Now finds himself 9 lb higher in a deeper race but it's likely that there is better to come from this 6-y-o.
2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 +0%) Frero Banbou	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(2) Frero Banbou 2.75/1, Largely acquitted himself well last term and good start to present campaign when second in a valuable handicap at Ascot (16.78). Below par over the same C&D next time but now 2 lb lower and has performed with great credit on each of his 2 previous visits to Sandown.
3 4th (3) (12/1 +14%) Dreams Of Home	12 12/1(+14%)	(3) Dreams Of Home 12/1, Ended last season on a winning note at Perth and picked up where he left off by landing a 17f Kelso handicap on return in December. 3 lb rise by no means prohibitive but will need to prove better than ever if he's to follow up in this company.
1 5th (1) (28/1 -155%) The Last Day	28 28/1(-155%)	(1) The Last Day 28/1, Sparingly campaigned for a horse of his age and proved that all of his ability remains intact when landing a Grade 3 handicap at Aintree's Grand National meeting in April. More will be needed off this 8 lb higher mark but he evidently goes well fresh and is certainly not without hope.
7 6th (7) (4.5/1 +68%) Gladiateur Allen	4.5 4.5/1(+68%)	(7) Gladiateur Allen 4.5/1, Winning start over fences at Exeter last season but it's been all downhill since, with significant issues surfacing in the jumping department. Hood refitted.
5 \|F\| (5) (4/1 -60%) Grey Diamond	4 4/1(-60%)	(5) Grey Diamond 4/1, Dual winner as a novice, including over this C&D, and showed plenty in a light campaign last season. Resumed with a solid effort at Cheltenham (form subsequently boosted by both the winner and the second) and likely to play a big part here with that run under his belt.

4 1st (4) (4.5/1 -13%) Theme Tune	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(4) Theme Tune 4.5/1, Sketchy jumper who proved better than ever to make his second start for his new yard a winning one in 8-runner handicap hurdle (10/3) at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft) 38 days ago, asserting ruin-in and going clear from a subsequent winner. Hit with 8lb rise but should remain competitive.
2 2nd (2) (50/1 -52%) Bushypark	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Bushypark 50/1, Completed superb 5-timer over hurdles in 2020/21. Also made a successful start over fences on his reappearance last term but it's been all downhill since, again finding little when pulling up for a fourth start in a row at Carlisle 41 days ago.
10 3rd (10) (8/1 +33%) Tough Out	8 8/1(+33%)	(10) Tough Out 8/1, Fair hurdle who wasn't disgraced back under more testing conditions when in 10-runner handicap at Kelso (25.8f, soft) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
1 4th (1) (2.75/1 +21%) Top Of The Bill	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(1) Top Of The Bill 2.75/1, Improved to open his account in 12-runner handicap hurdle (10/3) at Chepstow (23.6f, good) 35 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Nudged up 6 lb but may still have more to offer, particularly at this trip.
6 5th (6) (12/1 -118%) Houston Texas	12 12/1(-118%)	(6) Houston Texas 12/1, Progressive over fences, bringing up a Carlisle staying handicap hat-trick after 8 months off in October. Came up short in a higher grade at Haydock last time and now reverts to the smaller obstacles.
9 6th (9) (2.5/1 +9%) Gentleman De Mai	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(9) Gentleman De Mai 2.5/1, Winner on debut and Ayr and has shaped well both handicap starts since returning from 13 months off, including when third at aforementioned venue (20.4f) last time, staying on well. Will be suited by this longer trip and remains open to improvement.
7 7th (7) (4.5/1 +25%) Tiger Jet	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(7) Tiger Jet 4.5/1, Dual winner at up 23.3f this term who ran creditably back in a handicap when third at Wetherby (21.2f) on Boxing Day. Step back up in trip looks a good move and should be competitive again. Hood on for 1st time.
5 8th (5) (50/1 -317%) Imperial Sachin's	50 50/1(-317%)	(5) Imperial Sachin's 50/1, Ex-Irish hurdler/chaser who won the first 2 of his 3 for Fergal O'Brien in the summer but jumped none too fluently when below form at Bangor on final outing and has since left that yard.

3 2nd (3) (5.5/1 +27%) Midnight Midge	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(3) Midnight Midge 5.5/1, Won his first two starts for this yard (both at Taunton) and, despite a lesser effort at this course subsequently, he's still one to be interested in dropping back to the minimum trip.
1 3rd (1) (14/1 +36%) Kauto The King	14 14/1(+36%)	(1) Kauto The King 14/1, Completed quick-fire hat-trick in small-field handicap chases during the summer but some way below best in 3 starts since returning from a short break this winter.
2 4th (2) (16/1 -14%) Native Robin	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Native Robin 16/1, Five-time course winner who shaped with encouragement at Cheltenham on reappearance and, despite a poor run at Exeter since, might bounce back here.
6 5th (6) (5/1 -43%) Desque De L'isle	5 5/1(-43%)	(6) Desque De L'isle 5/1, Better than ever this term, won 9-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (16f, soft) 18 days ago, just holding on. Fully expected to go well again.
5 \|F\| (5) (4/1 -45%) Interne De Sivola	4 4/1(-45%)	(5) Interne De Sivola 4/1, Winner of 2 of his 5 starts in juvenile hurdles last season and was given a considerate introduction to chasing after 8 months off at Warwick (2½m). Out of the handicap at Ffos Las subsequently and remains wit potential in this sphere.
4 \|PU\| (4) (3/1 +25%) Another Crick	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) Another Crick 3/1, Useful chaser who landed this event last season. Not at best since but well treated and blinkers are applied, so capable of putting up a big effort despite his advancing years.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (2.75/1 +21%) Barenboim	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(3) Barenboim 2.75/1, Thrived upon joining present yard, making it 3 wins from 5 starts with a ready success at Kempton (11f) 31 days ago. Assessor applies further pressure but certainly not ruled out.
7 2nd (7) (3.5/1 +13%) Obsidian Knight	3.5 3.5/1(+13%)	(7) Obsidian Knight 3.5/1, C&D winner who doubled his career tally over 10f here in October. Shaped well both starts since, second of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 5 weeks ago, needing stronger gallop. Has to be taken seriously.
6 3rd (6) (4/1 -14%) Marion's Boy	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Marion's Boy 4/1, 4-time course winner. 10/3 and blinkered for 1st time, confirmed return to form when second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 31 days ago, running on when switched over 1f out. Can feature.
1 4th (1) (9/1 -13%) Red Flyer	9 9/1(-13%)	(1) Red Flyer 9/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Good second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 9/1) 81 days ago, staying on well inside final 1f. Not dismissed.
2 5th (2) (14/1 -56%) Aced It	14 14/1(-56%)	(2) Aced It 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Good second of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (12f) 50 days ago, ridden over 1f out and keeping on. Can give another good account for all he's never defied a mark this high.
5 6th (5) (22/1 +45%) Sword Beach	22 22/1(+45%)	(5) Sword Beach 22/1, Failed to beat a rival on both starts on the level in September. Cheekpieces back on. Best to look elsewhere.
4 7th (4) (3.33/1 -11%) Pistoletto	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(4) Pistoletto 3.33/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (3/1) at this course (10f, AW) 24 days ago, keeping on after no room briefly under 2f out. Thriving on his racing and should go well once again from this mark.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (2.5/1 +9%) Tahmuras	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(7) Tahmuras 2.5/1, Successful pointer who hasn't looked back since finding only L'Astroboy too strong on his debut, winning a Wincanton bumper and both his hurdle starts in impressive fashion. Will go on improving and has strong claims.
5 2nd (5) (16/1 -33%) L'astroboy	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) L'astroboy 16/1, Made winning start when edging out Tahmuras in a Ffos Las bumper in February and looked a good prospect when maintaining his unbeaten record on hurdling debut there (15.8f, soft) 10 months on, just shaken up to assert again run-in. Open to significant improvement.
6 3rd (6) (18/1 -29%) Nemean Lion	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Nemean Lion 18/1, Useful stayer on the Flat in France for Andre Fabre in 2020 and looked an exciting prospect when making a successful debut over hurdles at Hereford. Just as good when runner-up under a penalty in a stronger race at Haydock subsequently and not taken lightly for all this is another step up.
4 4th (4) (20/1 +29%) Colonel Harry	20 20/1(+29%)	(4) Colonel Harry 20/1, Easy winner of second start in Irish points (subsequently bought for £130,000) and left hurdling debut form behind when making all in a C&D novice (heavy) 62 days ago, well on top finish. Open to further improvement and worth a shot at this level.
2 5th (2) (1.25/1 +29%) Authorised Speed	1.25 1.25/1(+29%)	(2) Authorised Speed 1.25/1, Useful bumper winner who very easily landed 12-runner novice at Lingfield (19.5f) on his hurdling debut in November. Followed up back down in trip over C&D last month, again looking very speedy, and is open to further improvement.
3 6th (3) (22/1 +45%) Blow Your Wad	22 22/1(+45%)	(3) Blow Your Wad 22/1, Showed useful form in bumpers without looking totally straightforward, including when fourth in Aintree Grade 2. Good start over hurdles when runner-up at Ascot and went one better at Kempton despite his jumping still lacking fluency. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Remains capable of better.
1 \|PU\| (1) (4.5/1 -29%) Arctic Bresil	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(1) Arctic Bresil 4.5/1, An expensive buy after finishing runner-up on his completed start in points and looked an excellent prospect in going one better in a 22-runner Cork maiden hurdle (16.8f, soft) last month, leading before 2 out and quickening clear. Much better to come and needs taking seriously.
8 \|PU\| (8) (40/1 +20%) Ukantango	40 40/1(+20%)	(8) Ukantango 40/1, Placed in Irish points and won first 3 starts under Rules, namely bumper (on soft) and brace of novice hurdles. Improved again when runner-up to Fennor Cross in Cheltenham Grade 2 in November and dangerous to rule out further progress.

5 1st (5) (1.38/1 +31%) Densworth	1.38 1.38/1(+31%)	(5) Densworth 1.38/1, Bumper winner during the summer and stepped up on hurdles debut effort when a clear second in a 6-runner novice at Doncaster (20.8f, good). Dropping back in trip here no bad thing and he sets a good standard.
9 2nd (9) (6.5/1 +13%) Sageburg County	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(9) Sageburg County 6.5/1, Successful sole outing in Irish points and progressed from hurdling debut when fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Wetherby (16f, soft, 12/1) 11 days ago. Should be in the mix again.
2 3rd (2) (1.88/1 -15%) Artiste D'ainay	1.88 1.88/1(-15%)	(2) Artiste D'ainay 1.88/1, Little show in pair of bumpers but shaped with much more promise when third of 24 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 18 days ago. Open to improvement.
3 4th (3) (18/1 -29%) Carrigillihy	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Carrigillihy 18/1, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Ended last Flat season in good heart, winning at Pontefract in September before a pair of creditable placed efforts. Respected hurdling newcomer.
7 5th (7) (33/1 +50%) Lovin Jukebox	33 33/1(+50%)	(7) Lovin Jukebox 33/1, Jukebox Jury gelding could only finish tenth of 13 in bumper at Bangor (16.7f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 9 months. Makes hurdles debut.
8 6th (8) (40/1 +39%) Road To Rosley	40 40/1(+39%)	(8) Road To Rosley 40/1, Placed on second start in bumpes last term. Shaped as if needing run after year absence when last of 6 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Carlisle (19.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 41 days ago but needs to leave that form well behind.
1 7th (1) (12/1 -50%) Our Marty	12 12/1(-50%)	(1) Our Marty 12/1, Made winning start over hurdles at Perth in September but found life tougher under a penalty at Aintree (17f, good to soft) 35 days ago. More needed again here if he's to successfully concede weight all round.
14 8th (14) (25/1 -25%) Oliver's Army	25 25/1(-25%)	(14) Oliver's Army 25/1, Fair form in minor events on Flat in 2021 for Michael Dods. Makes hurdles debut after 15 months off the track. Respected if taking to this sphere.
4 9th (4) (150/1 -50%) Chumlee	150 150/1(-50%)	(4) Chumlee 150/1, Placed completed start in Irish points in 2020 but showed nothing when tenth of 11 in novice hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to firm, 33/1) on NH debut 147 days ago.
6 \|F\| (6) (12/1 +14%) Guillaume	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Guillaume 12/1, Yeats gelding. Dam 19f hurdle winner, also 1½m winner on Flat. Won 1 of 6 six starts in Irish points. Worth market check on debut.
13 \|U\| (13) (150/1 -50%) Halfway House Lad	150 150/1(-50%)	(13) Halfway House Lad 150/1, £3,000 3-y-o, Recharge gelding. Dam poor maiden hurdler. Wears tongue strap. Makes little appeal on paper.
12 10th (12) (100/1 -52%) Neverwrongforlong	100 100/1(-52%)	(12) Neverwrongforlong 100/1, Showed fair form when runner-up on second of 2 starts in Flat maidens in 2021. Best watched on hurdles bow after 18 months off.
11 11th (11) (66/1 +18%) Melvich Bay	66 66/1(+18%)	(11) Melvich Bay 66/1, Failed to kick on following a promising start in bumpers and showed very little in a pair of starts over hurdles last spring. Hard to fancy.
10 \|PU\| (10) (250/1 -25%) Izzy Bell	250 250/1(-25%)	(10) Izzy Bell 250/1, No promise in a trio of bumpers last season and was pulled up on hurdles debut lest week. Easily opposed.

12 1st (12) (6.5/1 +7%) Force De Frap	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(12) Force De Frap 6.5/1, Fair form over hurdles and fences in France and cashed in on a reduced mark in 14-runner hurdle at Taunton a month ago. 5 lb rise perfectly fair if he can back that performance up.
8 2nd (8) (14/1 +30%) Seymour Promise	14 14/1(+30%)	(8) Seymour Promise 14/1, Seemingly gone wrong way from his encouraging hurdling bow, a tongue tie failing to help him finish off his race when last seen in October 2021. Cheekpieces added on return to action.
10 3rd (10) (11/1 +31%) Ez Tiger	11 11/1(+31%)	(10) Ez Tiger 11/1, Shaped as if needing the run after 8 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter in November. Eased 3 lb and he's expected to step up on that.
9 4th (9) (16/1 +36%) Universal Secret	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Universal Secret 16/1, Proved that his Exeter third in January was no fluke when runner-up in a C&D novice the following month. However, in nothing like the same form since.
5 5th (5) (50/1 +0%) Pak Army	50 50/1(+0%)	(5) Pak Army 50/1, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland, leaving Eoin Doyle after finishing well held on the AW in November. Big price and fell early on last week's stable debut. Cheekpieces on.
18 6th (18) (3.33/1 +56%) Gorcombe Moonshine	3.33 3.33/1(+56%)	(18) Gorcombe Moonshine 3.33/1, Modest maiden but fitted with cheekpieces, he found only one too good from out of the weights at Fontwell last month. Effectively 1 lb lower so claims if backing that up.
16 7th (16) (80/1 +20%) Argus	80 80/1(+20%)	(16) Argus 80/1, Flat winner but very lightly raced over hurdles in recent times and he doesn't seem to retain much ability.
1 8th (1) (14/1 -40%) Hermes Le Gris	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Hermes Le Gris 14/1, Placed on 2 of his 3 starts in bumpers and encouraging start over hurdles when finding just one too strong in a 7-runner Warwick maiden (2m, good) in May. Disappointing twice since but a wind op, tongue tie and switch to handicaps may help him get back on track.
14 9th (14) (18/1 -13%) Gambie Tiep	18 18/1(-13%)	(14) Gambie Tiep 18/1, French bumper winner who cast aside a trio of lesser efforts (including over fences) when third of 11 at Worcester in October. Off since.
3 \|F\| (3) (7/1 -8%) Afta Party	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) Afta Party 7/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Alice Haynes. Changed hands for 15,000 gns and fair star when hitting the frame both starts over hurdles. Now makes a quick switch to handicaps back in distance.
7 \|F\| (7) (33/1 -83%) Isayalittleprayer	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Isayalittleprayer 33/1, Fair maiden on the Flat but showed nothing back from 22 months off at Sandown in November. Lot to prove after that switched to a handicap.
11 \|PU\| (11) (6.5/1 -63%) La Breille	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(11) La Breille 6.5/1, Fair form over hurdles in France, fitted with cheekpieces when second of 7 to Jonque Bleue in claimer at Auteuil last time (claimed from Patrice Quinton €18,555). Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at Fakenham last time and looks interesting from this mark.
19 \|PU\| (19) (9/1 +10%) Agent Empire	9 9/1(+10%)	(19) Agent Empire 9/1, Fairly useful on Flat in Germany for H. Grewe but no short-term promise over hurdles for new yard to end 2021. Handicaps more suitable on return, though.
6 \|PU\| (6) (16/1 -33%) The Rain King	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) The Rain King 16/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 8.5f), successful at Windsor in May. Much more like it third hurdles start when third at Taunton a month ago but opening mark hit as a result.
2 \|PU\| (2) (20/1 -25%) Flamenco De Kerser	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Flamenco De Kerser 20/1, Pulled up in 2 chases in the autumn but he is potentially well treated on the best of last season's form if a return to hurdles sparks a revival.
4 \|PU\| (4) (25/1 +0%) Gold Souk	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Gold Souk 25/1, Back-to-back winner over timber during the spring but largely below par on the Flat since and has fared little better back hurdling the last twice.
17 \|PU\| (17) (25/1 +0%) Megalodon	25 25/1(+0%)	(17) Megalodon 25/1, Modest 2m winner over hurdles who returns to smaller obstacles after his jumping went to pieces at Taunton last month.

2 2nd (2) (33/1 +34%) Anisoptera	33 33/1(+34%)	(2) Anisoptera 33/1, Course winner. Fifteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good to soft, 40/1) on NH debut 33 days ago. Down in trip. Has fallen to a workable mark but has a bit to prove in this sphere.
4 3rd (4) (1.88/1 -15%) Vision Of Hope	1.88 1.88/1(-15%)	(4) Vision Of Hope 1.88/1, Promising sort. Two wins from 5 runs last year. 10/3, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 7 days ago, responding well. Has to be taken seriously.
11 4th (11) (9/1 -100%) Liberated Lad	9 9/1(-100%)	(11) Liberated Lad 9/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Southwell (11.1f) 23 days ago. Leniently treated if he's able to build on that.
6 5th (6) (28/1 -211%) Sisterandbrother	28 28/1(-211%)	(6) Sisterandbrother 28/1, Second of 4 in handicap (6/4) at Brighton (11.9f, good), no match for winner. Off 178 days. Mark looks about right and he might need the outing.
1 6th (1) (28/1 -40%) Torbellino	28 28/1(-40%)	(1) Torbellino 28/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (11.2f, good to soft, 22/1). Off 123 days. Worth considering after a break, particularly if strong in the betting.
10 7th (10) (12/1 +14%) Be Fair	12 12/1(+14%)	(10) Be Fair 12/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 10/1) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal.
7 8th (7) (20/1 -43%) Engrave	20 20/1(-43%)	(7) Engrave 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 5/2, good second of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 30 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again.
8 9th (8) (33/1 -32%) Huscari	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Huscari 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in minor event (20/1) at Brighton (8f, good). Off 15 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Stiff task.
12 10th (12) (14/1 -17%) Ummsuquaim	14 14/1(-17%)	(12) Ummsuquaim 14/1, C&D winner. Winner here in November. 10/3, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal.
9 11th (9) (3/1 +79%) Bristol Hill	3 3/1(+79%)	(9) Bristol Hill 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 7/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 40 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.
5 12th (5) (150/1 -88%) Decora	150 150/1(-88%)	(5) Decora 150/1, First run since leaving Sheena West when last of 12 in handicap at this course (15.8f, AW, 150/1) 39 days ago. Down in trip. Others are more persuasive.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (50/1 +0%) Wishing And Hoping	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Wishing And Hoping 50/1, Won veterans' event at Aintree last autumn. Reappeared to finish second in that same race in October. Well held in a 2½m handicap there 6 weeks ago but he may do better back in veterans' company.
1 2nd (1) (6/1 +0%) Ramses De Teillee	6 6/1(+0%)	(1) Ramses De Teillee 6/1, Made his first venture into veterans' company a winning one when seeing off 9 rivals at Warwick (3m, soft) on his reappearance in November. Well on top at the finish on that occasion and this one-time really smart performer could still be well treated after a 6 lb rise.
14 3rd (14) (8/1 +27%) Run To Milan	8 8/1(+27%)	(14) Run To Milan 8/1, Good record at Exeter, making all in extended 3m veterans' handicap there in February. Stepped up on his reappearance when 14 lengths third of 12 in 3m Ffos Las handicap 16 days ago and eased another 2 lb since.
17 4th (17) (20/1 +0%) Up Helly Aa King	20 20/1(+0%)	(17) Up Helly Aa King 20/1, Looked about as good as ever under a cool ride when landing a Doncaster veterans' event (3m) on final start last season. Has returned in similarly good form, finishing 4 lengths second to Saint Xavier at Haydock last time.
16 5th (16) (6/1 +25%) Saint Xavier	6 6/1(+25%)	(16) Saint Xavier 6/1, In good form in veterans' company in November, building on his Cheltenham fourth behind a couple of these rivals when winning over 25f at Haydock, beating the reopposing Up Helly Aa King by 4 lengths. Should remain competitive up 5 lb.
8 6th (8) (40/1 +0%) Broken Quest	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) Broken Quest 40/1, Better than ever this spring, rattling off a quick-fire hat-trick in decisive fashion at Market Rasen (3m) in May. Had Ballyandy behind in third when runner-up in a veterans' event at Cheltenham (2½m) in November and might be worth forgiving him a lesser effort in open company back there since.
3 7th (3) (8/1 +0%) Snow Leopardess	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Snow Leopardess 8/1, Proved some sight over the National fences when winning the 2021 Becher Chase. Went well for a long way in this year's renewal of that race on what was effectively her reappearance. May come on for the outing. Not discounted.
4 8th (4) (8/1 +20%) Ballyandy	8 8/1(+20%)	(4) Ballyandy 8/1, Capitalised on reduced mark to land back-to-back staying handicap hurdle contests early last year. Has recorded 2 creditable placed efforts belatedly returned to fences this term and this trip will suit him better than the 2½m he ran over at Cheltenham last time. Considered.
10 9th (10) (11/1 -120%) Prime Venture	11 11/1(-120%)	(10) Prime Venture 11/1, Won this race off an identical mark 12 months ago. Has recorded a couple of respectable efforts over hurdles this season and has presumably been targeted at this again. Cheekpieces refitted. Could make a bold bid to defend his crown.
6 \|U\| (6) (22/1 -10%) Chambard	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Chambard 22/1, Better than ever last season partnered with Lucy Turner, completing the hat-trick (his fourth success from 6 starts) when landing the Kim Muir at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Ran poorly in a Haydock veterans' event on his reappearance but he isn't the type to stay down for long.
9 \|U\| (9) (28/1 +0%) Kauto Riko	28 28/1(+0%)	(9) Kauto Riko 28/1, Has drawn a blank since a 3m Kelso listed success in February 2020. Off 5 months, behind a couple of these when fifth in 2½m Cheltenham veterans' event in November but he could be sharper with that outing under his belt.
13 10th (13) (50/1 +0%) Indy Five	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Indy Five 50/1, Dual winner last season, namely handicaps over 3m+ at Doncaster and Newbury. Respectable fourth at Cheltenham and Wetherby on his last 2 outings, although Chirico Vallis was narrowly ahead of him at latter venue.
12 11th (12) (14/1 -17%) Sir Ivan	14 14/1(-17%)	(12) Sir Ivan 14/1, Mostly creditable efforts in defeat last term and he's resumed with solid placed efforts at Aintree and Fontwell. He'll need more to get his head back in front here, though.
15 12th (15) (8/1 +11%) Coo Star Sivola	8 8/1(+11%)	(15) Coo Star Sivola 8/1, Won the Ultima at Cheltenham Festival in 2018 and still capable of useful form for Nick Williams in 2020/21. Well beaten when returning from an absence for his new yard at Haydock in November but he's entitled to come on for the outing.
11 13th (11) (11/1 +21%) Chirico Vallis	11 11/1(+21%)	(11) Chirico Vallis 11/1, Landed a good pot at Chepstow last October before finishing third in the Classic Chase at Warwick and a Doncaster veterans' handicap. Off 8 months, shaped as if better for the run when 16 lengths third on his Wetherby reappearance 5 weeks ago. Should be spot on now. Another to consider.
2 \|PU\| (2) (25/1 -79%) Crosspark	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Crosspark 25/1, Missed all of last season but did shape as if retaining ability for his new stable when seventh of 10 at Haydock in November. Second in this off 6 lb higher 2 years ago. Certainly no surprise were he to go well.
5 \|PU\| (5) (28/1 -12%) Elegant Escape	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Elegant Escape 28/1, Welsh National winner in 2018. Proved he retains a useful level of ability when ending last term with success in a veterans' event at Ascot (3m) but his 2 runs this season have been disappointing.
18 \|PU\| (18) (80/1 -21%) Bermeo	80 80/1(-21%)	(18) Bermeo 80/1, Capitalised on the handicapper's mercy when making a winning debut for the Harry Fry stable at Newbury (3m, good) in April but he's been pulled up on both outings since. Hard to catch right. 5 lb out of handicap here.

2 1st (2) (10/1 -122%) Serious Operator	10 10/1(-122%)	(2) Serious Operator 10/1, Successful in 2 of his 3 starts in points and made a winning start over hurdles in likeable fashion at Kelso (20.9f) in October. Well held in tougher contest at Cheltenham last time but this represents an opportunity for him to get back on track.
5 2nd (5) (12/1 -9%) Had To Be Hugo	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) Had To Be Hugo 12/1, Once-raced maiden. Runner-up only start in Irish points and shaped as if he'd appreciate this step up in trip when third of 10 in bumper at this course (16.2f, good to soft, 4/1) on NH debut 30 days ago. Makes hurdles bow.
7 3rd (7) (33/1 -83%) Star Flyer	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Star Flyer 33/1, Fair form shown when twice in the frame in bumpers and showed aptitude when eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Sandown (16f, soft, 33/1) on hurdles bow 35 days ago, making running until early in straight. May find a couple too good here again, though.
1 4th (1) (0.3/1 +40%) Henry's Friend	0.3 0.3/1(+40%)	(1) Henry's Friend 0.3/1, Made winnng start at Aintree in May and has improved in defeat on subsequent outings, giving a useful prospect a scare when 4¼ lengths second of 6 to Henri The Second in Winter Novices' Hurdle (17/2) at Sandown (19.8f, soft) 36 days ago. Will take the beating.
4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +25%) Bleu D'enfer	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(4) Bleu D'enfer 4.5/1, Chased home useful prospect Sandor Clegane in Punchestown maiden in November but checked out of things rather tamely when only fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft, 7/1) 12 days ago. Still respected in this company.
6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -50%) Largy Train	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Largy Train 150/1, Made winning debut for Stuart Crawford in May 2021 but has seemingly had problems (already with third different trainer) and was pulled up on hurdles bow at Doncaster last week.
3 \|PU\| (3) (250/1 -150%) Army's Dream	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Army's Dream 250/1, Finished last in a bumper and was pulled up on hurdles debut last week. Can't be fancied.

2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 +7%) Stoner's Choice	6.5 6.5/1(+7%)	(2) Stoner's Choice 6.5/1, Winning start over fences in a match at Kempton in May but let down by some shoddy jumping on his next 2 starts. Respectable third back hurdling at Doncaster (19.5f) since.
1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Sir Psycho	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(1) Sir Psycho 3.5/1, Won three times as a juvenile hurdler in 2019/20 season. Very lightly raced since and he suffered a nasty experience when switched to fences on his return from 2 years off at Bangor, falling heavily at the second then crashing through a wing when loose. Not easy to assess back hurdling.
5 \|F\| (5) (7/1 +56%) Longshanks	7 7/1(+56%)	(5) Longshanks 7/1, Got off the mark over fences with a career best in 9-runner handicap at Exeter (19f, heavy) last March but has disappointed since, tailed off when unseating 5 out here on Boxing Day. Remains to be seen if a switch to hurdles sparks a revival.

4 3rd (4) (6.5/1 -18%) Halsafari	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(4) Halsafari 6.5/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2019. Respectable third of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at Leopardstown (17f, soft) 12 days ago. Not discounted.
3 4th (3) (5/1 -43%) Carrolls Cottage	5 5/1(-43%)	(3) Carrolls Cottage 5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good second of 6 in handicap chase at Clonmel (17.9f, heavy) 30 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.
6 5th (6) (4.5/1 +0%) Yabo	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(6) Yabo 4.5/1, Latest win in chase at Gowran in November. 9/2, fell in handicap chase at Thurles (17.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly.
5 6th (5) (2.5/1 +58%) Bread And Butter	2.5 2.5/1(+58%)	(5) Bread And Butter 2.5/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 20/1, below form sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive.

6 3rd (6) (16/1 +0%) Dashing To You	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Dashing To You 16/1, 22/1, good fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (8f, AW) 24 days ago, best work finish. Back up in trip. Can't be ruled out from a handy mark.

10 6th (10) (12/1 -9%) No Such Luck	12 12/1(-9%)	(10) No Such Luck 12/1, C&D winner. 11/8, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 26 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can't be ruled out having dropped in the weights.

8 1st (8) (4/1 +43%) Hardy Du Seuil	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Hardy Du Seuil 4/1, Hurdles winner in France who took well to chasing over here last season, winning twice and runner-up on 3 other occasions. Back on track when third in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time and looks nicely treated in this sphere.
4 2nd (4) (3/1 +54%) Iceo	3 3/1(+54%)	(4) Iceo 3/1, Won well at Dieppe on hurdling debut in the summer and looked potentially smart when following up for this yard at Kempton over a year ago. Both subsequent runs disappointing but could get back on track fresh from 10 months off.
6 3rd (6) (1.88/1 +46%) Djelo	1.88 1.88/1(+46%)	(6) Djelo 1.88/1, Made an emphatic start in this country when readily landing a handicap at Exeter in November, barely off the bridle. Possibly found race coming too soon at Haydock shortly after but fancied to get back on the up after more of a break.
9 4th (9) (12/1 +0%) Dr T J Eckleburg	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Dr T J Eckleburg 12/1, Fair winner on Flat who made a promising start over hurdles last term, building on his debut second to record back-to-back wins at Ludlow and Taunton earlier in the year. Posted encouraging second on Leicester reappearance (15.5f) last month and entitled to build on that.
2 5th (2) (6/1 -71%) Lightly Squeeze	6 6/1(-71%)	(2) Lightly Squeeze 6/1, Returned to former stable with a career best when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle at Kempton (16f, soft, 4/1) 47 days ago, pushed out having travelled strongly. Should have a big say in this.
7 6th (7) (25/1 -56%) Palladium	25 25/1(-56%)	(7) Palladium 25/1, Dual 2m winner over hurdles for Nicky Henderson in 2020 but has clearly been hard to train since and has plenty to prove returning from 17 months off (ran on the Flat) for a new stable.
11 7th (11) (22/1 -22%) Imphal	22 22/1(-22%)	(11) Imphal 22/1, Won 4 times at around 3m in a very productive 2021/22 season, ending that campaign with a good second in a competitive race at Haydock (3m again). His mark still looks workable but this trip might be on the short side.
3 8th (3) (40/1 +0%) Poseidon	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Poseidon 40/1, Useful chaser at best who made a successful return to hurdling in a seller at Taunton a month ago. Has left Gordon Elliott since and this is obviously a lot more competitive.
5 9th (5) (66/1 -65%) Tiger Voice	66 66/1(-65%)	(5) Tiger Voice 66/1, Winning hurdler who was again let down by his jumping at Punchestown in April. Posted a couple of creditable efforts back on the Flat before leaving Henry de Bromhead for £18,000 in October.
1 10th (1) (28/1 -40%) Band Of Outlaws	28 28/1(-40%)	(1) Band Of Outlaws 28/1, One-time useful hurdler who has been seen out sparingly in the last couple of years but showed he retains some ability on the Flat when last seen 7 months ago. Has left Joseph O'Brien and will probably need this.

5 1st (5) (6/1 +8%) Knocknamona	6 6/1(+8%)	(5) Knocknamona 6/1, Won this last season and, while he's been struggling for form lately, he's not one to completely dismiss having dropped back to the same mark.
1 2nd (1) (2.25/1 +18%) Fever Roque	2.25 2.25/1(+18%)	(1) Fever Roque 2.25/1, Steadily progressive over hurdles last term and placed both completed starts in this sphere, including over 19.4f here (soft) last time. 1 lb lower now and this looks a weak race, so he's worth taking a chance on.
6 3rd (6) (4/1 +33%) Well Cliche	4 4/1(+33%)	(6) Well Cliche 4/1, Opened account in 27f Sedgefield handicap chase in April and only just denied at this track the following month. Shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off at this course (23.4f, soft) in November and first-time cheekpieces go on today.
9 4th (9) (12/1 +40%) Rocambolas	12 12/1(+40%)	(9) Rocambolas 12/1, Winning pointer but he has shown nothing under Rules and looks up against it on chasing debut.
3 5th (3) (7.5/1 -233%) Gipsy Lee Rose	7.5 7.5/1(-233%)	(3) Gipsy Lee Rose 7.5/1, Finally off the mark over fences at Hexham in April. At least respectable efforts since and likely to make her presence felt in a weak affair.
4 6th (4) (16/1 +36%) Kalaharry	16 16/1(+36%)	(4) Kalaharry 16/1, Has slipped to an attractive mark but last season was something of a washout and he hasn't shown any signs of a revival this term.
7 \|PU\| (7) (3.5/1 +53%) First Illusion	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(7) First Illusion 3.5/1, Modest maiden hurdler. Last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20f) on his final run for Philip Kirby. Makes yard/chase debut with more required. Worth monitoring in the betting after 15-month absence.
8 \|PU\| (8) (33/1 -50%) Lastin' Memories	33 33/1(-50%)	(8) Lastin' Memories 33/1, Poor handicap chaser who has been out of form lately and makes little appeal.

4 1st (4) (7/1 -40%) Beyond Redemption	7 7/1(-40%)	(4) Beyond Redemption 7/1, Four-time winner between the flags, including twice last spring. However, record under Rules (0-8) is not so good and it's hard to know what to expect back from an 8-month absence on debut for new yard.
2 2nd (2) (4/1 +11%) Paseo	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Paseo 4/1, Back with a bang when making all on return at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) in November. Clearly has two ways of running and wasn't on a going day at Southwell next time, to put it mildly, but he will be a big player if in the mood here.
10 3rd (10) (22/1 +67%) Etincelle Artiste	22 22/1(+67%)	(10) Etincelle Artiste 22/1, Runner-up in a point but had wind op before Rules debut and limited impact in pair of novice hurdles for Dan Skelton. Similar story both starts for this yard and big step forward needed now switched to fences.
9 4th (9) (25/1 +24%) El Diablo	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) El Diablo 25/1, Winner of sole start between the flags but hasn't shown much in the way of form over hurdles and no impact on first go at chasing in a handicap at Huntingdon in November. Now blinkered/tongue tied.
7 5th (7) (22/1 +21%) Call Me Freddie	22 22/1(+21%)	(7) Call Me Freddie 22/1, Hurdles winner over 3m in Ireland but hasn't shown much in 5 starts in this sphere to date.
5 6th (5) (4.5/1 +25%) My Bad Lucy	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(5) My Bad Lucy 4.5/1, Point winner who has yet to trouble the judge following 7 starts under Rules. That said, he wasn't beaten far in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third in a 5-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, good) last time and should be in the mix off the same mark here.
1 \|F\| (1) (1.88/1 -7%) No Hubs No Hoobs	1.88 1.88/1(-7%)	(1) No Hubs No Hoobs 1.88/1, Not the most consistent but proved better than ever when springing something of a surprise by landing a C&D handicap 12 days ago. 5 lb rise tolerable and that was just his fourth start over fences, so he's one to consider with Freddie Gingell again in the hot-seat.
3 \|PU\| (3) (10/1 +38%) Famous Last Word	10 10/1(+38%)	(3) Famous Last Word 10/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who improved when third upped to 25f on handicap debut over hurdles at Warwick in May 2021. First run since when fifth of 6 at Exeter last month and while he's entitled to come on for it, he's probably best watched on this chase debut.
13 \|PU\| (13) (14/1 +65%) Dorado Dollar	14 14/1(+65%)	(13) Dorado Dollar 14/1, Poor maiden who looks set for another struggle from 7 lb out of the handicap.
8 \|PU\| (8) (18/1 +55%) Kenyan Cowboy	18 18/1(+55%)	(8) Kenyan Cowboy 18/1, Pulled up on each of his last 4 starts, including on sole previous start over fences at Hexham during the spring, and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
6 \|PU\| (6) (66/1 +34%) Captain Cuckoo	66 66/1(+34%)	(6) Captain Cuckoo 66/1, Remains a maiden both between the flags and under Rules, and it's hard to envisage this 11-y-o turning the tide here following a couple of dismal displays since returning to action last month. Now tried in blinkers.

Dam 19f-2¾m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stays 25f) Louis' Vac Pouch. Won sole start in points last March so makes obvious appeal.

6 4th (6) (14/1 -40%) Milanaway	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Milanaway 14/1, Milan mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Minella Encore and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Ozzie's Way. Market check advised.

4 7th (4) (80/1 -60%) Kathleen Gold	80 80/1(-60%)	(4) Kathleen Gold 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Still in need of the experience when eighth of 10 in bumper (50/1) at Bellewstown (16.4f, good to firm) back in August.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (14/1 +50%) Cello	14 14/1(+50%)	(2) Cello 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at this course (1m) 68 days ago, finishing with running left. Significantly up in trip. Capable of better but might be of more interest once handicapping.
5 2nd (5) (1.75/1 +22%) Star Mood	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(5) Star Mood 1.75/1, Promising individual. Second (Fox Vision nose behind in third) of 14 in maiden (22/1) at this course (11f) on debut 22 days ago. Another bold show is assured.
4 3rd (4) (1.2/1 -9%) Fox Vision	1.2 1.2/1(-9%)	(4) Fox Vision 1.2/1, Promising type. 7/2, third of 14 in maiden at this course (11f) on debut 22 days ago, no extra late on after looking a threat (pipped for second by Star Mood). Sure to improve. Leading claims.
1 4th (1) (5/1 -67%) Balboa	5 5/1(-67%)	(1) Balboa 5/1, 40/1 showed promise when fifth of 14 in maiden at this course (11f) on debut 22 days ago, but reopposing pair Fox Vision and Star Mood were ahead of him. Open to improvement.
3 5th (3) (22/1 +67%) Come Musica	22 22/1(+67%)	(3) Come Musica 22/1, 33/1 and blinkered, eighth of 14 in maiden at this course (11f) on debut 22 days ago. May do better.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (3.5/1 +53%) Bawaader	3.5 3.5/1(+53%)	(1) Bawaader 3.5/1, One win from 29 Flat runs. 11/2, turned in another creditable effort and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f) 6 days ago, nearest finish. Fancied to be in the mix again.
4 2nd (4) (8.5/1 +23%) Chloellie	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(4) Chloellie 8.5/1, 5-time course winner. Thirty two runs since last win in 2020. Fourth of 10 in minor event at Southwell (8.1f, 25/1) 6 days ago, merely plugging on. Return to this venue needs to spark a revival.
8 3rd (8) (4.5/1 +25%) Send In The Clouds	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(8) Send In The Clouds 4.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form sixth of 10 in minor event (5/1) at Lingfield (1m) back in June, headway approaching straight and weakening final 1f. Absent since and market may prove a useful guide for yard amongst the winners.
2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +0%) Breguet Boy	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(2) Breguet Boy 4.5/1, Flat/hurdles winner who arrives on a long losing run but better signs from basement mark of late, running on for third in 8-runner Lingfield handicap (1m) 26 days ago. One to bear in mind.
7 5th (7) (18/1 -50%) Secret Tryst	18 18/1(-50%)	(7) Secret Tryst 18/1, 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on.
9 6th (9) (50/1 -100%) Sunsets Dreamers	50 50/1(-100%)	(9) Sunsets Dreamers 50/1, Maiden who has yet to better poor form and she again offered little when last of 9 in a first-time visor at Chepstow (1m) in June. Much more needed on return to action.
5 7th (5) (2.25/1 -13%) No Diggity	2.25 2.25/1(-13%)	(5) No Diggity 2.25/1, Runner-up twice here prior to justifying cramped odds in a C&D minor event 12 months ago. Below that level next 3 starts and whilst he ran poorly at Lingfield in December, that was his first start for 9 months. Better expected in refitted blinkers.
6 8th (6) (25/1 -317%) Plymouth Rock	25 25/1(-317%)	(6) Plymouth Rock 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Brighton (7f, soft, 16/1) 86 days ago.
3 9th (3) (28/1 -75%) Celtic Saoirse	28 28/1(-75%)	(3) Celtic Saoirse 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort in maiden/novice company when fourth over 7f here in October but easy to back and offered little on handicap debut back here in November. It does remain early days at least back from a short break.

1 2nd (1) (0.91/1 +0%) Asdaa	0.91 0.91/1(+0%)	(1) Asdaa 0.91/1, Capitalised on much-reduced mark to score at Newcastle (1m) prior to following up in good style over C&D on Wednesday. Remains well treated on old form and sound claims in hat-trick bid.
6 3rd (6) (20/1 +29%) Always Fearless	20 20/1(+29%)	(6) Always Fearless 20/1, Latest win over C&D in October. 9/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 39 days ago. Others more persuasive.
3 4th (3) (5/1 +55%) Sandy Paradise	5 5/1(+55%)	(3) Sandy Paradise 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Below form tenth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (1m) in September, weakening over 1f out. Not dismissed from this sort of mark on yard debut.
5 5th (5) (28/1 -155%) Bhubezi	28 28/1(-155%)	(5) Bhubezi 28/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7f) 40 days ago, keeping on having been under pressure some way out. Needs to build on that now.
2 6th (2) (5/1 +23%) River Wharfe	5 5/1(+23%)	(2) River Wharfe 5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. 16/1, good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 50 days ago, headed final 100 yds and no extra having travelled fluently. Not underestimated with yard amongst the winners.
4 7th (4) (20/1 -100%) Come On John	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Come On John 20/1, First run since leaving Roger Fell when seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 40/1) 16 days ago, in rear and never landing a blow. Cheekpieces back on.
10 8th (10) (16/1 -33%) Adace	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Adace 16/1, Eased in weights and confirmed promise of previous run when staying on to lead final strides in a C&D handicap in November. Not in same form back here 3 weeks ago but a better showing not ruled out granted a good pace to aim at.
8 9th (8) (66/1 -32%) Cuban Strike	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Cuban Strike 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, last of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 25 days ago. Market should guide now sights are set on handicaps.

2 3rd (2) (1.2/1 +36%) Nails Murphy	1.2 1.2/1(+36%)	(2) Nails Murphy 1.2/1, Promising individual. Won 10-runner novice event (16/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 60 days ago, kept up to work. Third that day successful since and he should improve.

6 5th (6) (25/1 +24%) Sam's Hope	25 25/1(+24%)	(6) Sam's Hope 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in novice event at Southwell (7.1f, 40/1) 32 days ago, slowly away.

8 1st (8) (16/1 -78%) Kiwano	16 16/1(-78%)	(8) Kiwano 16/1, Course winner. 5¼ lengths fourth of 7 to El Caballo in listed race at Lingfield (7f, AW, 66/1). Off 10 months/gelded. Makes handicap debut and mark looks tough.
11 2nd (11) (3/1 +10%) Tyger Bay	3 3/1(+10%)	(11) Tyger Bay 3/1, Four-time C&D winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 13/2) 7 days ago. Likely to give it another good shot up 2 lb.
3 3rd (3) (7/1 -27%) Fivethousandtoone	7 7/1(-27%)	(3) Fivethousandtoone 7/1, Latest win at Goodwood in August. Bit below form twelfth of 24 in handicap (12/1) at Ayr (6f, good). Off 112 days and this is a slightly easier assignment. Could go well.
7 4th (7) (2.25/1 +44%) Emperor Spirit	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(7) Emperor Spirit 2.25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Blinkered for first time, respectable 2 lengths sixth of 12 to Tyger Bay in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 4/1) 7 days ago, racing wide. Has to be taken seriously back on last successful mark.
9 5th (9) (10/1 +29%) Papa Stour	10 10/1(+29%)	(9) Papa Stour 10/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Last of 12 in handicap at this C&D (80/1) 59 days ago. Should come on for that low-key return.
4 6th (4) (4.5/1 +25%) Orazio	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(4) Orazio 4.5/1, 15¼ lengths last of 11 to Lusail in Gimcrack Stakes (15/2) at York (6f, good to firm). Off 16 months. Makes handicap debut and well-being an unknown but he's in good hands.
10 7th (10) (40/1 -21%) Mohi	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Mohi 40/1, Four-lengths tenth of 12 to Tyger Bay in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 40/1) 7 days ago. Should be at peak fitness now.

1 9th (1) (22/1 -214%) May Sonic	22 22/1(-214%)	(1) May Sonic 22/1, C&D winner. 2/1, 3 lengths third of 5 to Shallow Hal in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 51 days ago. racing freely. This represents a drop in class.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (8.5/1 +23%) Imperial Sands	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(1) Imperial Sands 8.5/1, C&D maiden winner who doubled career tally under good front-running ride at Lingfield 12 months ago. Exploits proved mixed thereafter and whilst he finished runner-up in blinkers (retained here) over C&D in September, things will be tougher from wide draw now.
9 2nd (9) (3/1 +33%) Aussie Banker	3 3/1(+33%)	(9) Aussie Banker 3/1, Low-mileage C&D winner who enjoyed a productive 2022, successful here in November and career-best display when going in again at Wolverhampton (8.6f), well positioned but having plenty in hand. Sound claims from handy draw.
11 3rd (11) (6/1 +25%) Aguaplano	6 6/1(+25%)	(11) Aguaplano 6/1, Redcar maiden winner (at 1m) and, following a pair of lesser displays on turf, he's got back on track over C&D, successful in October prior to finding only re-opposing Aussie Banker too strong a month later. 7 lb better off with that rival now.
2 4th (2) (6.5/1 +28%) Hafeet Alain	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(2) Hafeet Alain 6.5/1, Proved as good as ever when adding to his tally over 1m at Lingfield in February. Below best in Lincoln Trial next start but sharper for reappearance effort when finishing close-up sixth at Newcastle (7f) 5 weeks ago. Not dismissed out of hand.
5 5th (5) (5.5/1 -57%) Sun King	5.5 5.5/1(-57%)	(5) Sun King 5.5/1, Bellewstown maiden winner (7.8f) who ran best race to date when third in competitive Royal Ascot handicap (10f) on final start for Aidan O'Brien in June. Changed hands for 120,000 gns/gelded and he's an intriguing runner back at 1m.
6 6th (6) (14/1 +0%) Naval Commander	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Naval Commander 14/1, Course winner. Easy to back ad failed to come on for his comeback run when fourth over 11f here in October, again proving keen despite the strong gallop. Capable, including at this trip if putting it all together.
3 7th (3) (33/1 +18%) Bear Force One	33 33/1(+18%)	(3) Bear Force One 33/1, Gained fourth career success at Newbury (1m) back in August 2021. Confined to just 4 starts since though, going backwards from his reappearance effort when ninth of 10 in a C&D handicap 50 days ago. Tough to predict.
7 8th (7) (3.5/1 +0%) Court Of Session	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(7) Court Of Session 3.5/1, 4-y-o who is building up a sound record on synthetics, adding to his tally at Chelmsford (1m) on penultimate start. Only reeled in late by another upwardly-mobile sort at Wolverhampton latest and he remains very much of interest.
4 9th (4) (66/1 -100%) Cliffs Of Capri	66 66/1(-100%)	(4) Cliffs Of Capri 66/1, Produced some solid efforts without tasting success in big-field handicaps on turf during 2021 but absent since finishing third in 5-runner handicap here (7f) back in May. Tricky draw to deal with back from 8 months off.
12 10th (12) (66/1 -100%) Uzincso	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Uzincso 66/1, 6-time C&D winner. Latest win at Newmarket (1m) in July. Mixed bag in trio of starts on AW/turf, well below best when eleventh of 12 in a C&D handicap 38 days ago. Wide draw to deal with here and others appeal more.
8 11th (8) (22/1 -100%) Alexander James	22 22/1(-100%)	(8) Alexander James 22/1, In headgear for first time since joining present yard and best effort for a while when runner-up over 1m at Southwell 18 days ago, ridden 2f out and sticking to task. This looks tougher, though.
10 12th (10) (33/1 +0%) Shoot To Kill	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Shoot To Kill 33/1, Rattled off quick-fire AW hat-trick at around 1m last winter. Acquitted himself well in stronger company thereafter and probably best not judged too harshly on his Victoria Cup run when last seen in May.
13 13th (13) (125/1 -213%) Iron Heart	125 125/1(-213%)	(13) Iron Heart 125/1, Dual Flat winner for Andrew Balding in 2020 who added to his hurdles tally on final start for David Pipe at Taunton (19f) in November. Set a stiff enough task returned to the level for new yard here, however.
