1 Sunday 18th February 2024 UK Horse Racing Speed Ratings & Tips

There were 30 Races on Sunday 18th February 2024 across 4 meetings. There was 8 races at Punchestown, 7 races at Southwell, 7 races at Musselburgh, 8 races at Kempton, no doubt Tomform helped you find a winner.

13:35 Punchestown Maiden Chase 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (1/2 +19%) Mister Policeman	0.5 1/2(+19%)	(3) Mister Policeman 1/2, Smart winner at 18f over hurdles. Third of 5 in novice chase at Naas (16f, good to soft, 8/15) 37 days ago, not jumping great and struggling to go with the front pair as the pace lifted before closing gradually again late on. Remains capable of better and this looks a good opening. Fairyhouse winner, a good chance to get his campaign back on course after Naas defeat.
4 2nd (4) (10/3 +5%) Arctic Bresil	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(4) Arctic Bresil 10/3, Winning hurdler. Fourth of 7 in novice chase (17/2) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 24 days ago. Not dismissed in a thin race. Needs to jump better than in his chase attempts over C&D and 2m4f at Gowran.
1 3rd (1) (9/1 -38%) Irish Blaze	9 9/1(-38%)	(1) Irish Blaze 9/1, Fairly useful chaser. Career best when winning 8-runner chase at Down Royal (16.5f, heavy, 5/1) 26 days ago, forging clear. This is tougher under a penalty. Built on a Limerick second when giving a resolute display to win at Down Royal.
2 4th (2) (11/1 -100%) Pats Choice	11 11/1(-100%)	(2) Pats Choice 11/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Naas in January. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, soft, 11/1) 15 days ago. Solid place claims once more. Three-time handicap chase winner, solid display when fourth at Leopardstown last time.
5 5th (5) (125/1 -89%) Simply Shabra	125 125/1(-89%)	(5) Simply Shabra 125/1, 11/1, career best when winning 21-runner handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 37 days ago, driven out. This is a huge leap up. Won off a modest hurdle rating at Naas last month, nothing to suggest he can feature here.

Both Pats Choice and Irish Blaze score well based on experience, but the bar is not set too high for MISTER POLICEMAN

13:45 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (8/15 +62%) Micks Jet	0.533333 8/15(+62%)	(4) Micks Jet 8/15, Cheltenham bumper winner last spring who was also third in a listed bumper there in November. Better effort in novice hurdles since (fair form) when 4 lengths third at Sedgefield last month. That bumper ability suggests there should be more to come. Useful form in bumpers and promise on both hurdle starts; sets a good standard.
3 2nd (3) (9/2 +0%) Josie Alice	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Josie Alice 9/2, Winning Irish pointer. Modest form in 2 bumpers and a 3m course maiden hurdle for new connections but she's the type to do better before long. Fair third over 3m here on rules debut and this shorter trip may be a better fit for now.
5 3rd (5) (10/1 -82%) Miss Arabella	10 10/1(-82%)	(5) Miss Arabella 10/1, Related to winners and runner-up on her final start in bumpers. Better effort over hurdles when 8 lengths second of 5 in 2m Southwell mares' maiden 82 days ago. Up in trip. Has had wind surgery since Southwell. Has shown ability and the wind op and the step up in trip could prompt a bigger run.
1 4th (1) (5/1 -43%) Barrons Land	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Barrons Land 5/1, Runner-up four times in Irish points and filled the same position in a Doncaster bumper on her Rules debut 3 weeks ago. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut. Respected. 50-1 runner-up on bumper debut at Doncaster; could have part to play on first hurdle start.
7 5th (7) (16/1 +0%) Somebody's Fortune	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Somebody's Fortune 16/1, Placed in points. 25/1, fifth of 10 in novice at Kelso (23f, heavy) on hurdle debut 35 days ago, unable to sustain effort. May do better. Well-beaten fifth on rules debut at Kelso but this point runner-up is open to improvement.
2 6th (2) (100/1 -203%) Ice Day	100 100/1(-203%)	(2) Ice Day 100/1, 22/1, remote fifth of 7 in bumper at Carlisle (17f, soft) on debut 63 days ago. Unless the betting hints otherwise she's best watched now switching to hurdles. There's potential in her pedigree but she was well beaten on her sole bumper start.
8 7th (8) (22/1 -175%) Speranza Wilde	22 22/1(-175%)	(8) Speranza Wilde 22/1, £32,000 purchase after winning a point last January. Needed experience when remote fifth on Fairyhouse hurdle debut 12 months later. Should be wider now and worth a precautionary betting check. Point winner who needs to improve upon her hurdle debut fifth, but that's possible.
6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -355%) Snow Shepherdess	150 150/1(-355%)	(6) Snow Shepherdess 150/1, More one for handicaps judged on her efforts in Ayr maiden hurdles before Christmas. Placed in both bumpers but well beaten at triple-figure odds on her two hurdle starts.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

There are some possible improvers in opposition but bumper winner MICKS JET sets a good form standard. Josie Alice is feared most.

13:55 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (7/4 +22%) William Ewart	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(7) William Ewart 7/4, Form patchy since his convincing victory over hurdles at Bangor (23f, soft) in March, but suspect he may yet do better over fences now back up in trip off a good mark. He's an inconsistent sort but has the form to feature in this modest a race.
6 2nd (6) (10/3 +33%) Wonder Of The Seas	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(6) Wonder Of The Seas 10/3, Well held in bumper/over hurdles but has the size for chasing. Interesting in thin handicap with cheekpieces tried. Poor so far but now goes chasing with cheekpieces added.
9 3rd (9) (4/1 +71%) Bignorm	4 4/1(+71%)	(9) Bignorm 4/1, Is a long time without a win and hasn't been firing this season. He's had his ground this season and yet hasn't remotely threatened.
8 4th (8) (9/1 +36%) The Electrician	9 9/1(+36%)	(8) The Electrician 9/1, Dual winner over shorter last season but efforts for current yard have lacked spark. Stronger headgear tried. Seems to be treading water this season; tries blinkers (replacing cheekpieces).
1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -118%) The Lion Dancer	12 12/1(-118%)	(1) The Lion Dancer 12/1, Four-time winner over fences for Charlie Mann who produced his best effort for some time when making a winning return from 9 months off at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) on sole start last season. However, reverted to looking a tricky ride back from another absence at Market Rasen in December. 3m+ on deep ground is right up his street but current wellbeing is an issue.
5 \|PU\| (5) (13/2 -44%) Ya Know Yaseff	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(5) Ya Know Yaseff 13/2, Improved fitted with blinkers, winning handicap chases at Worcester/Newton Abbot (at up to 25.8f) in September. Mixed bag since, however, taking little interest from the off at Hereford last time. Patchy profile but two runs back she was runner-up on soft at Wincanton.
2 \|PU\| (2) (22/1 -120%) Spotty Dog	22 22/1(-120%)	(2) Spotty Dog 22/1, Dual winner over fences at Huntingdon at the start of 2023 but has pulled up on both outings this term. Back on a successful mark but not obviously in the form to capitalise. Capable on his day but jumped poorly before pulling up on his recent belated return.

14:05 Punchestown Maiden Chase 23f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (2/9 +50%) Senior Chief	0.222222 2/9(+50%)	(7) Senior Chief 2/9, Useful hurdler. Promising sort. Excellent second of 6 in novice chase at Navan (24f, heavy, 15/8) 29 days ago. Yard in good form. Sets the benchmark. Two chase runs have been in good company, appears to have a straightforward tasknow.
2 2nd (2) (28/1 -155%) Duffle Coat	28 28/1(-155%)	(2) Duffle Coat 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler at his best. Makes chase debut. Has rather lost the plot and has stamina to prove. Won his first four hurdle races as a juvenile in 2020, now a shadow of his former self.
5 3rd (5) (13/2 -63%) Klarc Kent	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(5) Klarc Kent 13/2, Fairly useful chaser. 66/1, fell in novice chase at Navan (24f, heavy) 29 days ago. This is easier. Posed no threat when falling two out in Navan event in which Senior Chief finished second.
4 4th (4) (14/1 -75%) Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa	14 14/1(-75%)	(4) Jimmy Chou Pecos Aa 14/1, Fair hurdler. 66/1, last of 7 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 24 days ago. Can do better in time. Placed on all five hurdle starts, not progressive, tailed off on chase debut at Gowran.
6 5th (6) (40/1 -186%) Paddys Planet	40 40/1(-186%)	(6) Paddys Planet 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Upsides and looked sure to be placed when fell 2 out in maiden chase won by Quantum Realm at Downpatrick final start in 2022/23. Off 20 months. Can only be watched after his absence. Two-time hurdle winner on soft two seasons ago, first run since June 2022, may need it.
3 6th (3) (16/1 +20%) Heyjoe De Kerser	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Heyjoe De Kerser 16/1, Fair form over hurdles. Best effort when 23½ lengths third of 10 to Letsbeclearaboutit in maiden here in 2022/23. Poor run when last seen 9 months ago but could make up into a staying chaser. Placed twice in maiden hurdles, absent since tailed off on handicap debut last May.
1 7th (1) (200/1 -100%) Downtheoldbogroad	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Downtheoldbogroad 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, last of 10 in novice chase at Cork (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 43 days ago. One fair run over hurdles in 2022, poor last of ten on chasing debut at Cork last month.

The 142-rated SENIOR CHIEF has been running against smart novices and should win this readily given an error-free round.

14:15 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (10/3 +17%) Whosmydaddy	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(7) Whosmydaddy 10/3, No significant impact in maiden/novice hurdles but this point winner could prove a different proposition now handicap chasing in first-time headgear. Market confidence could prove significant. No form claims but early days; he has new trip and first-time headgear for handicap debut.
8 2nd (8) (13/2 -18%) Dr Shirocco	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(8) Dr Shirocco 13/2, Finally off the mark under Rules at Hexham in June and followed up over 2½m here (good to soft) 5 months later. Didn't find much when only sixth here (2½m again) on New Year's Day but he's a player on those winning efforts. Well below form on soft here in hat-trick bid last time; bit to prove over this far.
5 3rd (5) (4/1 +50%) Frankie Faulkner	4 4/1(+50%)	(5) Frankie Faulkner 4/1, Point/maiden hurdle winner. Made a solid start to his handicap chase career in the autumn but needs to shrug off a couple of lesser runs since. Cheekpieces are added. Backward steps on last three starts and connections turn to headgear.
6 4th (6) (17/2 +6%) Get With It	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(6) Get With It 17/2, Dual chase scorer around 3m in the first half of last season. Has come down in the weights but hasn't been showing enough to suggest he's likely to take advantage. Both wins in 2022; C&D last two outings, with penultimate effort giving him a squeak.
2 5th (2) (9/2 +25%) Shadows In The Sky	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(2) Shadows In The Sky 9/2, Showed he can make an impact from his mark when third of 11 over C&D in December but not in anything like the same form when pulled up at Catterick since. Needs a return to this venue to spark a revival. Stayed on strongly for C&D third; 3m6f may well have played some part (not all) on latest.
3 6th (3) (12/1 -50%) Canelo	12 12/1(-50%)	(3) Canelo 12/1, One-time smart handicapper but has been on the downgrade for some time, finishing a well-held sixth on his completed start this season. Could only consider if backed. Return of cheekpieces (last worn in March 2022) may well be a positive; worth market check.
1 7th (1) (17/2 -70%) Without Conviction	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(1) Without Conviction 17/2, Winner at Ayr (3m) last March and recorded a couple of good runner-up efforts at Hexham in the autumn. Ran one of her lesser races at Kelso last time but has been dropped 3 lb for it. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie. Respected. Needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kelso and now has cheekpieces first time.
4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -389%) Fiston Du Mou	22 22/1(-389%)	(4) Fiston Du Mou 22/1, Three-time winner over fences who returned to form when second at Sedgefield in October. Failed to back that up when a remote fourth there the following month. Off 94 days. Creditable runner-up on the second of his three runs this autumn; off three months.
9 \|RO\| (9) (18/1 -13%) Get 'em In	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) Get 'em In 18/1, Showed little over hurdles and similar story over fences to date, pulling up here last time. Ten-race maiden who lacks solid form claims; 3lb out of the handicap.

14:25 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (Evens -10%) Noche Negra	0 Evens(-10%)	(3) Noche Negra Evens, Improved on his chasing debut form to get off the mark in 19.2f Catterick novices' handicap chase 3 week ago, staying on well. Well bred (brother to high-class chaser Nube Negra) and may do better still. Leading claims. Looks open to plenty of improvement after coming clear at Catterick; raised 8lb.
2 2nd (2) (9/4 +10%) Royal Mer	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(2) Royal Mer 9/4, Has returned to something like his best back over fences, scoring at Ffos Las and Leicester in recent months. Probably didn't stay at the latter track last time and better expected back in trip here. Record of 2-5 over fences and seems best at this trip with 2m6f proving a stretch latest.
1 3rd (1) (10/3 +0%) Out On The Tear	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Out On The Tear 10/3, Wasted no time getting back to form when second at Sedgefield last month and lurks on a tempting mark back down in class. 2nd at Sedgefield latest; dropped into a Class 5 this time and must have a chance.
5 4th (5) (20/1 +60%) Leading The Way	20 20/1(+60%)	(5) Leading The Way 20/1, Modest maiden hurdler, always behind on recent chase debut at Ffos Las. Hard to fancy. Ex-Irish maiden; tailed off in three runs for this yard, latterly on his switch to fences.

14:35 Punchestown Handicap Chase 27f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
13 1st (13) (10/1 -18%) Where It All Began	10 10/1(-18%)	(13) Where It All Began 10/1, Good second of 6 in minor event chase (10/1) at Fairyhouse (21.8f, soft) 36 days ago. Needs to improve for this marked step up in trip. 8lb better off with Clonmeen compared to a clash seven weeks ago, Jack Kennedy's choice.
15 2nd (15) (5/4 +62%) We'llhavewan	1.25 5/4(+62%)	(15) We'llhavewan 5/4, Three wins from 6 runs this season. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle (10/1) at Navan (25.2f, heavy) 71 days ago, kept up to work. Switches from hurdles to chase and he looks well weighted up in trip. Now a five-time hurdles winner, could be thrown in here off mark 21lb below hurdles rating.
12 3rd (12) (10/1 -18%) Clonmeen	10 10/1(-18%)	(12) Clonmeen 10/1, Two wins from 5 runs this season. 4/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at this course (23.8f, heavy) 49 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Pitched in deeper here but he's clearly going the right way. Raised an aggregate 18lb for winning his last two races but may remain competitive.
4 4th (4) (17/2 -31%) My Immortal	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(4) My Immortal 17/2, Promising type. Useful winner at 25f over hurdles. Respectable third of 6 in novice chase at Navan (24f, heavy, 8/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut and he has a bigger performance in him up in trip. Soundly beaten in third behind two useful types over 3m at Navan, first handicap chase.
6 5th (6) (10/1 -67%) Stormy Judge	10 10/1(-67%)	(6) Stormy Judge 10/1, Lightly raced since winning a brace on handicaps in early 2021. Good fourth of 18 in handicap chase at Gowran (25f, heavy, 17/2) 24 days ago, and would have finished closer without a couple of errors. Shortlist material. Comes into the reckoning following a game effort in keeping on for fourth in the Thyestes.
1 6th (1) (25/1 -39%) Any Second Now	25 25/1(-39%)	(1) Any Second Now 25/1, 25/1, below form eighth of 18 in handicap chase at Gowran (25f, heavy) 24 days ago. Placed in a couple of Grand Nationals and he's back on a dangerous mark. Twice placed in the Grand National, two handicap runs this term have been unconvincing.
16 7th (16) (20/1 +29%) Baldur's Gate	20 20/1(+29%)	(16) Baldur's Gate 20/1, Course winner. Winner in chase here in November. 9/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (26f, heavy) 22 days ago. Consistent but at a lower level than this. Placed on all three starts since a course win, could go well despite being 7lb wrong.
8 8th (8) (18/1 -29%) Must Be Obeyed	18 18/1(-29%)	(8) Must Be Obeyed 18/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 6 in handicap chase (5/1) at this course (22.1f, soft) 13 days ago, having run of race. Back up in trip but he's unproven beyond 23f. Course winner, this is stronger than the race in which she was third here 13 days ago.
14 9th (14) (33/1 +18%) Regina Dracones	33 33/1(+18%)	(14) Regina Dracones 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, last of 6 in handicap chase at this course (22.1f, soft) 13 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. This test of stamina more suitable but he's not always fluent over fences. Let down by her jumping in a Fairyhouse race in which stablemate Must Be Obeyed was third.
3 10th (3) (25/1 -39%) Frontal Assault	25 25/1(-39%)	(3) Frontal Assault 25/1, Turned in a rare poor effort when ninth of 18 in handicap chase at Gowran (25f, heavy) 24 days ago. Stays this trip well but bounce back called for. Fairly consistent in big handicaps without being quite good enough, others appeal more.
5 \|PU\| (5) (12/1 +14%) Queen Jane	12 12/1(+14%)	(5) Queen Jane 12/1, On the back foot early and eventually brought down in handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, heavy, 8/1) 52 days ago. Significantly up in trip and this mark isn't out of reach, Second in a 2m4f mares' handicap chase at Fairyhouse, brought down four out at Limerick.
9 \|PU\| (9) (16/1 -60%) Champagne Platinum	16 16/1(-60%)	(9) Champagne Platinum 16/1, Improved to win 7-runner handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 11/1) 24 days ago. Higher chase mark is justified and regulation fences may help him. Handicap hurdle winner last month, 5lb lower than when fourth in this race 12 months ago.
7 \|PU\| (7) (22/1 -57%) Street Value	22 22/1(-57%)	(7) Street Value 22/1, Stamina his forte, as showcased when winning 29.6f handicap chase at Fairyhouse in December. Pulled up in handicap chase (9/1) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 24 days ago and he isn't the most consistent. Cheekpieces applied for the first time. Pulled up in the Thyestes, respected as the winner of 3m5f Porterstown Chase.
2 \|PU\| (2) (33/1 -230%) Dunboyne	33 33/1(-230%)	(2) Dunboyne 33/1, Unreliable sort. Pulled up in handicap chase (5/1) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 24 days ago, very tired but not before shaping with some promise. In the right hands to bounce back. Creditable fourth in Troytown, got very tired in the Thyestes, Jack Kennedy deserts him.
11 \|PU\| (11) (40/1 -43%) Fakiera	40 40/1(-43%)	(11) Fakiera 40/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Fourth of 5 in novice chase at this course (23.8f, heavy, 50/1) 49 days ago. Hasn't shown enough for this yard to make him of interest. Uncompetitive in a beginners' event here last time, now 0-13 over fences, tough task.

14:45 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (13/2 -63%) Balkardy	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(2) Balkardy 13/2, Consistent as they come at this level, once again giving his running in staying Ffos Las handicap hurdle 17 days ago. Can make presence felt in re-fitted cheekpieces. Runner-up on first four runs back and a respectable third on latest outing; shortlisted.
5 2nd (5) (13/2 -8%) Jem In Em	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(5) Jem In Em 13/2, Bumper winner who confirmed previous encouragement in this sphere when scoring at Kelso (25.8f) in October. It's been hard work twice since (looks a thorough stayer) and this stronger headgear will help. Won at Kelso (3m2f, soft); ran in snatches in respectable 4th since; different headgear.
3 3rd (3) (33/1 -32%) Cardamon Hill	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Cardamon Hill 33/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Fair efforts first 2 starts in handicap chases for present yard but has lost his way, never involved back over hurdles here a fortnight ago. Could only be fancied if supported in the betting back up in distance. Below form last three starts, back hurdling here on latest; seen mostly over shorter.
1 4th (1) (3/1 -9%) Call Me Harry	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Call Me Harry 3/1, Goes well at this track (C&D scorer in November), is unexposed as a stayer and showed improved form despite a shoddy round of jumping when second over C&D on New Year's Day, rallying but always held. Up 3 lb but risky with the potential for mistakes. Got rid of his jockey two runs back; first and second over this C&D on starts either side.
7 5th (7) (11/4 +45%) Valleyview Tommy	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(7) Valleyview Tommy 11/4, Irish point runner-up is bred to stay well and has shown fair form in a pair of starts over hurdles so far, second of 8 in novice here (19.8f, soft, 7/2) on latter occasion. Respected handicap newcomer up in trip for good yard. Placed both hurdle runs; upped in trip but should be capable of improvement in handicaps.
4 6th (4) (12/1 -50%) Masked Crusader	12 12/1(-50%)	(4) Masked Crusader 12/1, Landed a pair of novice hurdles in 2022. Temperament has come under suspicion since, although he showed a bit more back over hurdles at Catterick 7 weeks ago. Potentially interesting off a low mark on first crack over this sort of trip. 12lb below opening mark; possible to argue that first rules outing beyond 2m4f will help.
8 7th (8) (7/2 +50%) So Many Roads	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(8) So Many Roads 7/2, Much improved when justifying support on handicap debut in 17-runner contest at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) a year ago. Not so good this term though and this looks tough. Tongue tie goes on. Each-way option if bouncing back from latest start and he has tongue tied first time.
6 8th (6) (40/1 -186%) Sean Og	40 40/1(-186%)	(6) Sean Og 40/1, Has gone well back over hurdles the last twice and suspect this longer trip will suit but he's probably still high enough in the weights. Ran well last two starts but is not on a great mark; plenty to prove at 3m and in the mud.

14:55 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (15/8 +25%) Imperial Bede	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(3) Imperial Bede 15/8, French bumper winner who struck in a Huntingdon maiden hurdle a year ago. Form has plateaued over hurdles but this sort of trip should suit and he's not ruled out in an open contest on chase debut. Hurdle exploits suggest this mark is doable and he might well improve for going chasing.
2 2nd (2) (6/4 +25%) Sageburg County	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(2) Sageburg County 6/4, Made a winning start over fences at Market Rasen in May before doubling his tally in this sphere at Southwell in November. Found nothing at Doncaster last time, though, so he has a bit to prove after such a disconcerting effort. Probably needs testing ground, on which he impressed here on his penultimate start.
5 3rd (5) (4/1 +43%) Family Business	4 4/1(+43%)	(5) Family Business 4/1, Has slipped in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap chase (14/1) at Hereford (20.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Jumping remains a concern but this looks a winnable contest. Hasn't been on his game for a while and unlikely winner unless further wind surgery helps.
4 \|PU\| (4) (6/1 -33%) Key Commander	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Key Commander 6/1, Ran creditably in a trio of chases for Mel Rowley last spring. Possibly needed run after 10-month absence when sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, heavy) 27 days ago. Should be sharper now back over fences. Returning from 310 days off when tailed off in a handicap hurdle at Warwick.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (6/5 +52%) Tullyhill	1.2 6/5(+52%)	(5) Tullyhill 6/5, Smart bumper performer. Turned over at short odds on course hurdle debut but made no mistake at Naas last month. Exciting prospect. Very easy winner at Naas last month; Supreme Novices entry and one of the ones to beat.
4 2nd (4) (4/1 -129%) No Flies On Him	4 4/1(-129%)	(4) No Flies On Him 4/1, Highly promising sort. Point winner. Created good impression when landing 28-runner maiden at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) on hurdle debut over Christmas. Open to significant improvement. Taking scorer in a competitive Leopardstown maiden hurdle on his track debut; promising.
2 3rd (2) (11/2 +8%) Jigoro	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Jigoro 11/2, Progressive. Won Navan maiden in December. 4/1, 7 lengths second of 4 to Mystical Power in Moscow Flyer Novices' Hurdle at this course (16.7f, soft) 35 days ago. Likely capable of better again. No match for the impressive Mystical Power in the Moscow Flyer here; needs to improve.
6 4th (6) (8/1 +20%) Westport Cove	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Westport Cove 8/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 5/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 4 in minor event hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 38 days ago, clear of rest. A repeat of his Clonmel performance would put him in the mix here; headgear is retained.
1 5th (1) (9/2 +25%) Boldog	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(1) Boldog 9/2, Promising type. First run since leaving Stuart Crawford when winning 14-runner maiden at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) on hurdles bow 48 days ago, comfortably. Smart prospect. Decisive winner of a Tramore maiden hurdle last month; more needed here but interesting.
7 6th (7) (125/1 -468%) Saddle Her Up	125 125/1(-468%)	(7) Saddle Her Up 125/1, Career best when winning 14-runner maiden hurdle (8/1) at Fairyhouse (18.2f, soft) 36 days ago, pushed out. This demands a lot more. Won a 2m2f mares maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last month; much more needed here.
3 7th (3) (25/1 -79%) Lombron	25 25/1(-79%)	(3) Lombron 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Won Thurles maiden in November. 24¾ lengths last of 4 to Mystical Power in Moscow Flyer Novices' Hurdle (5/2) at this course (16.7f, soft) 35 days ago. Townend looks elsewhere this time. Well beaten in the Moscow Flyer last time when jumping poorly; others preferred.
8 8th (8) (200/1 -300%) Tina Meehan	200 200/1(-300%)	(8) Tina Meehan 200/1, Bumper winner for Willie Mullins. Better effort over hurdles (fair form) when third of 13 in Sligo maiden on stable debut at August. Outsider pitched in at the deep end back from 6 months off. Third in a Sligo maiden hurdle in August; not seen since and faces a monumental task here.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (7/2 +50%) Captain Quint	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(2) Captain Quint 7/2, Won on his chase debut at Hexham last season and added to that in a match at Ayr (20.5f) in March. Back to form when runner-up to a thriving rival over C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago and he's respect with cheekpieces now applied. Runner-up over C&D recently despite not jumping well; a possible in first-time cheekpieces.
4 2nd (4) (10/3 +52%) Massini Man	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(4) Massini Man 10/3, Thrived after joining this yard from John Groucott last season, scoring twice in handicap chases at this course (over C&D on the second occasion). Ran close to best when third in a higher grade over C&D last time and he's expected to be in the mix again. Two-time course winner who was fair third over C&D recently and might not be far away.
8 3rd (8) (4/1 -33%) So They Say	4 4/1(-33%)	(8) So They Say 4/1, Lightly-raced hurdler confirmed the promise of her chase debut when winning 7-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft) 44 days ago. Didn't look to have loads in hand there but she's less exposed than most and can't be discounted from 7 lb higher mark. Won over C&D on second chase start and form has been franked; could have more to offer.
6 4th (6) (5/1 +33%) Return Fire	5 5/1(+33%)	(6) Return Fire 5/1, Likeable type and made the most of a good opportunity after 5 months off when scoring at Hexham on return. Rare below-par effort when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Carlisle (26.2f, soft) 63 days ago but appeals as one who should bounce back quickly. Didn't see out Carlisle's stiff 3m2f but in good form prior; should be fine at this trip.
1 5th (1) (11/2 -10%) Grey Skies	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(1) Grey Skies 11/2, Dual winner in novice company last spring and wasn't beaten far back from a break at Carlisle (21f, soft) in December. Another sound effort when seconf at Market Rasen last time but return to further doesn't immediately appeal as a positive. Rules wins have come over shorter but he's at a sharp track today and arrives in good form.
7 6th (7) (40/1 +0%) Honey I'm Good	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Honey I'm Good 40/1, Notched 3 chase wins between April and July but rform has tailed off badly of late and application of cheekpieces needs to spark her back to life. Won last year on her first three chase starts but struggling for form more recently.
3 7th (3) (15/2 -67%) No Regrets	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(3) No Regrets 15/2, Notched a second success over fences when landing 3m Hexham handicap in June. Back from a break with two good placed runs at Southwell and Kelso so he's on the shortlisted on return from another 3-month absence. Has done well in these cheekpieces; every chance he'll be bang there once more.

9 1st (9) (4/1 +0%) Stavvy	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) Stavvy 4/1, Roaring Lion gelding who stepped up on his debut when third in a bumper at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Sets a reasonable standard. Ran better on second visit to Doncaster but in an ordinary race run in a slow time.
8 2nd (8) (7/2 +36%) Rockchoeur	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(8) Rockchoeur 7/2, €40,000 3-y-o, Choeur Du Nord gelding. Dam, placed once over hurdles in France, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 31f) Aione. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. 40,000euros 3yo; second foal; dam placed 2m3f hurdle; represents a major stable.
4 3rd (4) (100/1 -52%) Moor End	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Moor End 100/1, €1,000 3-y-o, Kingston Hill gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Doesn't make much appeal on paper. 1,000euros 3yo and from a yard not noted for bumper winners.
2 4th (2) (17/2 -89%) Desert Halo	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(2) Desert Halo 17/2, 9/2, second of 12 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.6f, soft) on NH debut. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Declan Queally and should be involved if he's fully tuned up. Placed in an Irish point and runner-up in a soft-ground bumper there.
5 5th (5) (40/1 -60%) Dunstall Angel	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Dunstall Angel 40/1, Walk In The Park mare. Dam, lightly-raced maiden on Flat, sister to fairly useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Nacarat. Wears hood. From a good family and worthy of a market check. Out of a sister to high-class chaser Nacarat; stable has occasional success in these races.
3 6th (3) (33/1 -230%) Locked On	33 33/1(-230%)	(3) Locked On 33/1, £8,000 3-y-o, Scorpion gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Great Try,. Worth monitoring in the betting. £8,000 3yo; eleventh foal; brother to bumper/2m hurdle winner Great Try.
6 7th (6) (25/1 -285%) Locken Lady	25 25/1(-285%)	(6) Locken Lady 25/1, £28,000 5-y-o, Snow Sky mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Rexem and bumper winner Geraldo. Won sole start in Irish points (Jan 7). Posted an ordinary RPR of 76 in winning her Irish point.

Dam (b99), bumper winner, half-sister to high-class hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 21f) Wicklow Brave. Won sole start in Irish points (Nov 18). Likely sort on paper. Bought for £150,000 after three-finisher Irish 3m point win on testing ground in November.
10 9th (10) (125/1 -213%) Daramount Sunlight	125 125/1(-213%)	(10) Daramount Sunlight 125/1, Sun Central filly. Dam well held sole start in bumpers. Flat-bred filly from a yard that is 0-3 in bumpers the last five seasons.
7 10th (7) (50/1 -213%) Outdone	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) Outdone 50/1, Outstrip gelding. Dam unraced. Not much to go on in terms of pedigree but stable can get one ready. Not bred for this and will have to deal with testing conditions.

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (7/4 +42%) Paggane	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(10) Paggane 7/4, Fair Flat winner. Promising type. Third of 11 in maiden hurdle at this course (20f, heavy, 9/4) 20 days ago. Likely capable of even better and leading claims. Disappointing upped in trip at Punchestown last time; looks beatable here against geldings.
1 2nd (1) (10/1 +9%) Cut The Rope	10 10/1(+9%)	(1) Cut The Rope 10/1, Bumper winner last winter. Promise first 2 starts over hurdles but needs to shrug off a lesser run last time. Disappointing upped to this trip at Naas last time; has it to prove; others preferred.
6 3rd (6) (5/4 +38%) The Busy Fool	1.25 5/4(+38%)	(6) The Busy Fool 5/4, Promising individual. Bumper winner. 8/1, second of 15 in maiden at Down Royal (22.5f, soft) on hurdles bow 100 days ago. May well do better. Drop back in trip should suit; surprising if there was not more improvement to come.
2 4th (2) (14/1 +30%) Kilkee Bay	14 14/1(+30%)	(2) Kilkee Bay 14/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Clay Rogers. Failed to win in 5 points but has joined a top stable for hurdle debut. Unusual type for to see in Gordon Elliott's care and interesting to see how he fares.
4 5th (4) (200/1 -100%) Splendid Choice	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Splendid Choice 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 11 in bumper (16/1) at this course (16.2f, good to soft) on bumper debut 130 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Back up in trip. Modest maiden hurdle and bumper form and looks out of his depth here.
5 6th (5) (4/1 +75%) Syracus Du Houx	4 4/1(+75%)	(5) Syracus Du Houx 4/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 22 in maiden at Naas (16f, soft, 25/1) on hurdles bow 98 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve. Ran well for a long way in a competitive Naas handicap hurdle; more to come from him.
3 7th (3) (66/1 -32%) Kinturk Jack	66 66/1(-32%)	(3) Kinturk Jack 66/1, Kalanisi gelding. Dam (h93), maiden hurdler (stayed 2¾m), sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Grand Theatre. Very stoutly bred newcomer and likely to fare better for whatever he does here.
7 \|PU\| (7) (250/1 +0%) Wakie Wakie	250 250/1(+0%)	(7) Wakie Wakie 250/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Gillian Callaghan. Showed nothing in two starts for Gillian Callaghan; imposible to fancy here.

15:50 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 (1) (13/2 -18%) Sanosuke	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(1) Sanosuke 13/2, Fair on the Flat in Ireland and he got off the mark in this sphere when seeing off 10 rivals over 23.8f here in November. Good third of 9 over C&D after a 6 lb rise last time so he's one for the shortlist. A win and a fair 3rd over 3m here the last twice and should be fine now back down in trip.
10 1st (10) (11/1 -175%) Everyonesacritic	11 11/1(-175%)	(10) Everyonesacritic 11/1, Fetched £40,000 after winning his sole start in Irish points and hinted at promise when fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, soft). Never a factor at Taunton but looks the type to do much better now handicapping. Hasn't shown much over hurdles but this point winner goes handicapping off a basement mark.
6 2nd (6) (25/1 -233%) Donso Star	25 25/1(-233%)	(6) Donso Star 25/1, Maiden hurdler who hasn't been firing lately, jumping poorly at Newcastle. Others make more appeal. Has hinted at promise here but soundly beaten in all 3 handicaps and needs something extra.
3 3rd (3) (7/1 +7%) Beat The Retreat	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Beat The Retreat 7/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (18f, soft, 9/1) in December. Heavily backed to follow up over 20.5f there a fortnight later but was hampered early and could never get involved. Won at Ayr on second handicap start and hampered twice when well beaten there since.
5 4th (5) (7/2 +65%) Theirshegoes	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(5) Theirshegoes 7/2, Still to get her head in front but this slightly shorter trip may help after failing to see out 3m in recent starts. Merely fifth over 3m here the last twice but could benefit from this drop back in trip.
12 5th (12) (25/1 -25%) Kurphy	25 25/1(-25%)	(12) Kurphy 25/1, Well held in bumpers and on qualifying runs over hurdles, though hadn't yet been asked for effort when making a chance-ending mistake on handicap debut here in November. Ran no sort of race at Sedgefield since, though. Has struggled in first two handicaps and lots of improvement is needed now in cheekpieces.
8 6th (8) (9/1 -50%) Wotyoudunnow Buddy	9 9/1(-50%)	(8) Wotyoudunnow Buddy 9/1, Showed fair form on the second of 3 outings in bumpers. Little impact in novice hurdles but handicaps provided him with a more realistic chance and he found only one too good in blinkers at Catterick 16 days ago. Kept on for encouraging 2nd on handicap debut and could be in the mix now back up in trip.
4 7th (4) (8/1 +60%) Barney Stinson	8 8/1(+60%)	(4) Barney Stinson 8/1, Long-standing maiden who doesn't appear to be about to buck that trend despite a sliding mark, often held back by jumping. Hasn't really shone this winter but on a dangerous mark and not discounted.
2 8th (2) (25/1 -150%) Blow The Budget	25 25/1(-150%)	(2) Blow The Budget 25/1, Modest in bumpers and showed more on third hurdles outing when fifth of 12 in novice at Ayr (16f, soft) in December. Prominent in the betting on handicap debut fitted with a tongue tie but she proved to be a disappointment. Up in trip. Disappointing on last month's handicap debut but promise previously and not written off.
11 9th (11) (20/1 +0%) Kian Calling	20 20/1(+0%)	(11) Kian Calling 20/1, Showed some promise in bumpers and, while he's yet to match that encouragement over hurdles, there's scope for him to do better with his belated reappearance under his belt. Pulled up in December when back from long absence but not a forlorn hope off basement mark.
7 10th (7) (4/1 +33%) Eden Mill	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Eden Mill 4/1, Resumed with a good second at Kelso (21f, soft) in November and built on that when scoring with a good deal to spare over the same C&D next time. Found less than looked likely at Newcastle last time and a tongue tie goes on again. Easy win at Kelso in November; below par since but no surprise if he bounces back.
9 11th (9) (14/1 -75%) Dot Cotton	14 14/1(-75%)	(9) Dot Cotton 14/1, Still looking for her first win but has slipped in the weights and got back on track when second over C&D in December. On the retreat when unseating rider latest. Runner-up to progressive winner over C&D two starts ago but inconsistent and now 0-17.

First run for new stable. No impact in maiden points and failed to threaten for Olly Murphy in two runs over hurdles.
10 2nd (10) (5/4 +55%) Rumoursareflying	1.25 5/4(+55%)	(10) Rumoursareflying 5/4, Improved effort when fourth of 14 in 2m Huntingdon maiden last month. A repeat of that form should see him play a prominent role here. 100-1 when fourth at Huntingdon last time but he's one of the top two on form in this.
1 3rd (1) (14/1 -56%) Backbyjet	14 14/1(-56%)	(1) Backbyjet 14/1, Maiden pointer. Remote sixth in a Sedgefield bumper on Rules debut but left that behind when springing a 25/1 surprise in 19f Catterick novice hurdle on New Year's Day. That is ordinary form, though, and he was well beaten under a penalty back there last month. 0-9 in points; won on hurdles debut (2m3f, heavy) but that's modest form; well held latest.
6 4th (6) (11/1 +56%) Illico De Montave	11 11/1(+56%)	(6) Illico De Montave 11/1, Unplaced in sole point and modest form in 2 bumpers for Tom Weston before Christmas. Not an obvious one to strike on hurdle debut. Second bumper for Tom Weston showed some ability and he's from a French jumping family.
2 5th (2) (11/10 -175%) Sea Grey	1.1 11/10(-175%)	(2) Sea Grey 11/10, Fairly useful performer on Flat who has taken well to hurdling for his new stable, finishing second at Doncaster before going one better with cheekpieces added (retained) at Catterick (2m, soft) just after Christmas. Should be more to come. Fairly useful on Flat; asserted well in five-runner Catterick maiden hurdle (2m3f, soft).
11 6th (11) (28/1 +72%) Stick With Me Sam	28 28/1(+72%)	(11) Stick With Me Sam 28/1, Related to winners but big price but one for the longer term judged on his 2 efforts this winter. Hooded first time. Better effort on debut; plenty to find and needs to improve his jumping; hooded first time.
12 7th (12) (66/1 -32%) Reine Des Tartes	66 66/1(-32%)	(12) Reine Des Tartes 66/1, Successful on last of 3 starts in points but hasn't offered much in a pair of Wetherby novice hurdles in recent weeks. Maiden point win; tailed-off outsider at Wetherby (2m, soft) in both starts over hurdles.
5 8th (5) (25/1 +24%) Hope Hill	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Hope Hill 25/1, Offered something to work on the first of 2 outings in bumpers. Switches to hurdles after a further 137 days off. Needs much better than he showed at 66-1 in 2 bumpers; half-brother to high-class Yorkhill.
4 9th (4) (125/1 +38%) Haafback	125 125/1(+38%)	(4) Haafback 125/1, No show in 2 bumpers/hurdles. Outsider. Achieved little in two bumpers and two runs over hurdles.

3 4th (3) (13/2 +46%) Power Hour	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(3) Power Hour 13/2, Good fourth of 21 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 52 days ago. Should give his running again. Promising fourth in a 21-runner event at Leopardstown on handicap debut, could feature.
8 5th (8) (11/1 +8%) Ballycashin	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Ballycashin 11/1, 5/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.3f, soft) 35 days ago. Hood back on. Enters calculations. Decent fourth in 3m handicap here in November, has failed to reproduce that form.
2 6th (2) (10/1 -43%) Jeriko De Baune	10 10/1(-43%)	(2) Jeriko De Baune 10/1, 10/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, heavy) 22 days ago. One to consider. Winner of two of his last three starts, stays well, only five and may keep on improving.
5 7th (5) (14/1 +30%) From The Ashes	14 14/1(+30%)	(5) From The Ashes 14/1, 9/1, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy) 53 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Rated 16lb lower than over fences, interesting that trainer persists despite modest form.
6 8th (6) (16/1 +0%) Jasmin De Cotte	16 16/1(+0%)	(6) Jasmin De Cotte 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, third of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 25 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Open to improvement switched to handicaps over a more suitable distance. Hard to assess on his maiden form. improvement is feasible in his first handicap.
10 9th (10) (9/1 -29%) Rusheen	9 9/1(-29%)	(10) Rusheen 9/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 9/2) 25 days ago, digging deep. Should remain competitive. Has slotted into handicaps effectively, further progress is not out of the question.
1 \|U\| (1) (11/1 -83%) Noble Talent	11 11/1(-83%)	(1) Noble Talent 11/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle (5/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 19 days ago, pushed out. Likely to do better still, so makes plenty of appeal. An 8lb rise does not seem unduly harsh for 12l win at Limerick, same claimer aboard.
9 10th (9) (17/2 -6%) Jack Du Large	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(9) Jack Du Large 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 14 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.3f, heavy, 16/1) 22 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Seems to be getting the hold of things judged on Fairyhouse second on fourth maiden start.
12 11th (12) (20/1 -25%) Lucky Two	20 20/1(-25%)	(12) Lucky Two 20/1, 66/1, fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 29 days ago. Difficult ask. Modest form in maidens, mildly promsing handicap debut at Navan though beaten 21l in fifth.

16:20 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (7/2 +22%) Coolkill	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Coolkill 7/2, Largely struggled since a novice hurdle win in April 2021 but bit more encouragement the last twice. On a handy mark and can't be discounted. Faded into 4th over 2m7f here last month; this drop back in trip could be the right move.
1 2nd (1) (9/2 +68%) Limerick Leader	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(1) Limerick Leader 9/2, Fair hurdler but just a modest maiden handicap chaser, well held again at Catterick 2 months ago. Down another 4 lb and in trip with stronger headgear tried. Went close at Newcastle last May but subsequent form hasn't come up to scratch.
8 3rd (8) (10/1 +29%) Halfway House Lad	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) Halfway House Lad 10/1, Well held all completed starts over hurdles and similar story so far in this sphere. Others make more appeal. Step in right direction at Catterick recently and could build on it now back up in trip.
4 4th (4) (40/1 -300%) Claret Dabbler	40 40/1(-300%)	(4) Claret Dabbler 40/1, Modest form at best over fences at Catterick in December 2021 but missed 23 months and achieved nothing on return there over Christmas. Pulled up at Catterick 52 days ago when back from a long absence; may be best watched.
9 \|PU\| (9) (4/1 +33%) Blazing Hartingo	4 4/1(+33%)	(9) Blazing Hartingo 4/1, Has looked limited and temperamental over both hurdles and fences but managed to place at Sedgefield 11 days ago. Not completely ruled out in a weak contest. Lightly raced 6yo who was a fair third at Sedgefield last Wednesday and is not discounted.
6 \|PU\| (6) (6/1 -71%) Divas Doyen	6 6/1(-71%)	(6) Divas Doyen 6/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who was back to form when second over C&D 48 days ago. Strong claims if she can back that up. 0-15 but has gone close on both visits here and no surprise if she wins this.
7 \|PU\| (7) (10/1 -25%) Izzy's Champion	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) Izzy's Champion 10/1, Poor handicap chaser who had a stiff task from out of the weights when pulled up at this course 44 days ago. Could get back on track faced with more realistic assignment. May have needed last month's run here and all three wins have come at this course.
5 \|PU\| (5) (11/2 -22%) Budarri	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(5) Budarri 11/2, Successful twice here last winter and posted a good second here last time. Return to this distance should help and he looks a big player. Runs off same mark as when winning this 12 months ago and he's a strong contender.
3 \|PU\| (3) (22/1 -340%) Ex S'elance	22 22/1(-340%)	(3) Ex S'elance 22/1, Dual chase winner with quite a consistent record, again running with credit when fourth of 12 at Ayr 106 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. Two wins last spring and back from break with fair 4th in November; might not be far away.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (5/1 +33%) Innisfree Lass	5 5/1(+33%)	(4) Innisfree Lass 5/1, Failed to improve for a switch to handicap company early last year, finishing fourth at Huntingdon (20.5f) and Ludlow (19f). Prominent in the betting returning from 10 months off but proved to be a disappointment at Catterick. Cheekpieces reached for. About 10l fourth in first two handicaps; pulled up behind It's Maisy at Catterick (3m1f).
2 2nd (2) (15/8 +25%) It's Maisy	1.875 15/8(+25%)	(2) It's Maisy 15/8, Won 3 of last 4 starts, albeit fortunate on a couple of occasions, latterly when clear leader fell at Catterick a month ago. Stays well and still warrants respect at this sort of level. On hat-trick; whether this will be a stiff enough test of stamina is a question; weak race.
1 \|PU\| (1) (4/1 +0%) Shesupincourt	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Shesupincourt 4/1, Dual winner at up to 23.6f this term and wasted no time bouncing back from a laboured run when second of 9 over C&D 26 days ago. Eased 1 lb and she's in the mix. Won twice this term; second over C&D on latest start, no chance against a resurgent mare.
5 \|PU\| (5) (9/2 +44%) Arctic Footprint	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(5) Arctic Footprint 9/2, Had wind op (also tongue tied) before landing 9-runner handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (20f, heavy) in December. Proved to be a disappointment at Hereford (25.5f) a month ago but she's a player if bouncing back with yard continuing in good form. Won easily on heavy at Ffos Las (2m4f); bred to stay well but did little over 3m2f on good.
7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 -100%) Cantalupo Bella	9 9/1(-100%)	(7) Cantalupo Bella 9/1, Modest maiden on the Flat at up to 2m. Little to get excited about over hurdles but allotted a lowly mark and she's of some interest upped in trip. Modest Flat maiden (stays 2m); well beaten over hurdles but makes handicap hurdle debut.
6 \|PU\| (6) (17/2 -89%) Hey Day Baby	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(6) Hey Day Baby 17/2, £45,000 buy after winning last of 4 starts in Irish points. No impact under Rules but raced at only 2m so far and she's upped markedly in trip now handicapping for his successful yard. Market check advised with blinkers on. Blinkers added; has an extra 1m for handicap debut and may be seen in a much better light.

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (10/11 -25%) Sounds Victorius	0.909091 10/11(-25%)	(8) Sounds Victorius 10/11, Once-raced maiden. 5/2, second of 5 in bumper at Leopardstown (16.2f, heavy) on NH debut 52 days ago, running green. Sets a solid standard and there's more to come, so he boasts excellent claims. Beaten a neck in a virtual match for a Leopardstown bumper at Christmas; the one to beat.
7 2nd (7) (15/8 +53%) Masterboy Davis	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(7) Masterboy Davis 15/8, €85,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful French hurdler Lindy Hop Davis. Runner-up sole start in points (Dec 10). Of obvious interest on Rules debut. Clear of the remainder when beaten a length in a Tattersalls point-to-point in December.
6 3rd (6) (5/1 -11%) Inn At The Park	5 5/1(-11%)	(6) Inn At The Park 5/1, Promising type. 11/4, third of 6 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on NH debut 78 days ago. Should progress. Third in a Fairyhouse bumper in December; more needed here from the stable second string.
1 4th (1) (20/1 -25%) A Tipp For Gold	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) A Tipp For Gold 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in bumper at this course (16.8f, heavy, 14/1) 68 days ago. Needs to improve. Third in a bumper here in December; can still improve but needs to in order to play a hand.
3 5th (3) (40/1 +20%) Aine's Lad	40 40/1(+20%)	(3) Aine's Lad 40/1, €4,000 3-y-o, Kalanisi gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Neon Moon. Likely to need more time. Really stout staying pedigree and likely to improve for time and distance.
5 6th (5) (150/1 +25%) Dream Shaper	150 150/1(+25%)	(5) Dream Shaper 150/1, 200/1, fifth of 6 in bumper at Naas (16f, soft) 66 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has shown some modest ability in bumpers but makes no appeal on most known form.
2 7th (2) (22/1 -10%) Agree To Disagree	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Agree To Disagree 22/1, Ocovango gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Scottish Bambi. Worth considering if the market speaks in his favour. Mostly Flat-bred newcomer and best watched on debut.
4 8th (4) (40/1 -150%) Brooklyn Bridge	40 40/1(-150%)	(4) Brooklyn Bridge 40/1, Kendargent gelding. Half-brother to smart winner up to 9.5f Trais Fluors. Dam winner up to 9.2f (2-y-o 1m winner), including French Group 3. Has a notable Flat pedigree. Good middle-distance pedigree by Kendargent but best watched here on debut.

16:50 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (6/4 +50%) Bashful	1.5 6/4(+50%)	(3) Bashful 6/4, Improved to double his tally in this sphere (has a good strike rate on the Flat) over C&D last time and 5-lb rise seems reasonable, so he's worth a chance to follow up. Won in good style over C&D a fortnight ago and a 5lb rise may not stop him today.
11 2nd (11) (25/1 -56%) La Quarite	25 25/1(-56%)	(11) La Quarite 25/1, Some promise before falling at this track on debut and, while he has yet to build on that, he may well settle better now hooded for switch to handicaps. Lowly mark, 4yo allowance and first-time hood could all be positives on handicap debut.
2 3rd (2) (9/2 +0%) Cancan	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Cancan 9/2, 5/1, creditable 3¼ lengths third of 10 to Bashful in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago. On better terms with that rival now and mark remains appealing. Just 1-16 but has run some good races in defeat here and could be thereabouts.
5 4th (5) (11/2 +21%) Copper Fox	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(5) Copper Fox 11/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Sedgefield (19.8f, heavy) 37 days ago. Becoming well treated and latest effort was a step back in the right direction. Ran well when fourth over 2m4f at Sedgefield and this drop back in trip could bear fruit.
8 5th (8) (13/2 -8%) We Still Believe	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(8) We Still Believe 13/2, Reacted well to a visor when second here last month and backed it up with a solid showing at Catterick. Likely to give another good account. Has bumped into handicap blots when runner-up the last twice; a win may well be imminent.
7 6th (7) (66/1 +0%) Don't Look Back	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Don't Look Back 66/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1m) but well held completed starts in this sphere, including on debut for this stable in C&D handicap last time. Well beaten at 100-1 over C&D recently on his handicap hurdle and stable debut.
9 7th (9) (15/2 -67%) Spanish Hustle	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(9) Spanish Hustle 15/2, Fair on the Flat but hasn't done much over hurdles and failed to beat a rival on the level at Newcastle a month ago. Hard to make a solid case for. Has never shone over hurdles but 4 Flat wins last year and not ruled out back in this code.
6 8th (6) (50/1 -100%) Cliffs Of Dooneen	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) Cliffs Of Dooneen 50/1, Won a Carlisle handicap hurdle in April 2022 but not seen since finishing well held on the Flat in August of that year. Watching brief is the percentage call given the length of the lay-off. Trainer can bring one back from a layoff with a big run, but others have less to prove.
4 9th (4) (66/1 -843%) All Ways And Ever	66 66/1(-843%)	(4) All Ways And Ever 66/1, Limited on the Flat and similar form over hurdles, albeit she made a positive step when runner-up in a novice at Hexham 4 months ago on stable debut. Mark demands more. Inconsistent ex-Irish maiden but on a fair mark for this first handicap hurdle.
10 \|U\| (10) (11/1 +31%) Lifetime Adventure	11 11/1(+31%)	(10) Lifetime Adventure 11/1, Modest maiden hurdler who shaped better than the distance beaten when sixth at Uttoxeter last time. Needs more to defy current mark, though. Inconsistent ten-race maiden but runner-up two starts ago and not discounted.

10 1st (10) (Evens +67%) Roberto Caro	0 Evens(+67%)	(10) Roberto Caro Evens, Hooded, fourth of 11 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good, 40/1) on debut, nearest finish. Off 6 months/gelded. Sure to progress after a promising start and appealing under Murphy. Did lots wrong but shaped well in Windsor novice last August (6f); much more to come.
8 2nd (8) (100/1 -52%) Jolty Jem	100 100/1(-52%)	(8) Jolty Jem 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 8 in maiden at this course (8f, 12/1) 15 days ago. Modest form in two course runs this year; minor handicaps beckon.
2 3rd (2) (5/1 +50%) Beau Gars	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Beau Gars 5/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 5/2, off 4 months/first run since leaving Stuart Kittow when fourth of 9 in maiden at this course (8f) 15 days ago. Needs another step forward. Promise in all three starts; should cope with dropping to 7f; each-way claims again.
6 4th (6) (11/1 -22%) Corrales	11 11/1(-22%)	(6) Corrales 11/1, 45,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel colt. Brother to 3 winners, including very smart 7.4f-1¼m winner Mountain Angel and smart winner up to 1¼m Fanciful Angel. Interesting newcomer. Well-bred newcomer (brother to 2 Listed winners) for whom the betting should be revealing.
7 5th (7) (5/1 +38%) Lordsbridge Star	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Lordsbridge Star 5/1, Due Diligence gelding. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 6f winner on debut at this track). 1 of 2 newcomers for yard that can ready one (last 3 debutants on AW have all won) and he's one to note under Hollie Doyle. First foal of a useful 6f/7f winner (RPR 108); yard can ready one; check the betting.
1 6th (1) (22/1 -83%) Agent Mayfair	22 22/1(-83%)	(1) Agent Mayfair 22/1, Once-raced gelding. Second of 12 in maiden (33/1) at Southwell (6.1f) on debut. Needs more back from a year off. Ran well for 2nd on his Southwell debut 388 days ago (6f); more to come & R Ryan on again.
13 7th (13) (16/1 +0%) Loveable Rogue	16 16/1(+0%)	(13) Loveable Rogue 16/1, €29,000 yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Burnt Sugar out of useful winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner) Lady Livius. Connections had a well-backed newcomer run well here earlier in the week. One to keep an eye on. 29,000euros yearling; dam a fair maiden who stayed 1m; probably a longer-term prospect.
9 8th (9) (16/1 +36%) Jonniebeegood	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Jonniebeegood 16/1, Outstrip colt. Dam maiden. 1 of 2 interesting newcomers for yard, although Lordsbridge Star is arguably the more appealing on paper. Just minor appeal on paper and stable may have stronger claims with Lordsbridge Star.
12 9th (12) (20/1 +20%) Sorontar	20 20/1(+20%)	(12) Sorontar 20/1, 11,000 gns yearling, Gleneagles colt. Dam, ran twice at 2 yrs, half-sister to high-class winner up to 7f Dream of Dreams, won Diamond Jubilee Stakes/Haydock Park Sprint Cup. Wears tongue strap. 11,000gns yearling; dam a maiden from a good family; fair standard to aim at on debut.
11 10th (11) (12/1 -140%) Soldier's Class	12 12/1(-140%)	(11) Soldier's Class 12/1, Promising individual. Fourth of 10 in minor event (25/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 16 days ago, very green and nearest finish. Will improve and could go close. Promising debut at Newcastle (7f) 16 days ago; should be more streetwise today.
14 11th (14) (300/1 -200%) Ashford Hill	300 300/1(-200%)	(14) Ashford Hill 300/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 29 days ago. Big prices and well beaten in two AW novices this winter; no appeal.
4 12th (4) (100/1 -203%) Payforanother Daay	100 100/1(-203%)	(4) Payforanother Daay 100/1, £5,500 yearling, Adaay gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Displaying Amber. Dam unraced. Plenty on his plate for belated debut. £5,500 half-brother to a minor 5f AW winner; others have more obvious paper claims.
3 13th (3) (250/1 -150%) Charming Oscar	250 250/1(-150%)	(3) Charming Oscar 250/1, Once-raced gelding. 80/1, last of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 35 days ago. 80-1 and little short-term promise at Lingfield on debut five weeks ago (7f, AW).

3 2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) We Got Your Back	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) We Got Your Back 3/1, Unplaced in both points and little to shout about over hurdles so far. In good hands and this switch to handicaps more suitable with headgear back on. Front-runner; should be much more interesting back to 2m on this handicap debut.
4 3rd (4) (4/1 +20%) Jumbo Veste Verte	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Jumbo Veste Verte 4/1, Little solid form but more like it when third on handicap debut at Catterick (15.7f, soft) last month.

10 11th (10) (100/1 -100%) Rudy Catrail	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Rudy Catrail 100/1 Effective front-runner at his best but not the most consistent and out of his depth here.
14 12th (14) (100/1 -300%) Carnet De Stage	100 100/1(-300%)	(14) Carnet De Stage 100/1 1 from 42 over jumps; 88-rated hurdler-chaser and up against it here.

Form	Odds	Runs
10 1st (10) (9/2 -80%) White Mist	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(10) White Mist 9/2, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 4/1) 20 days ago, coming from last to first. Good claims again up 2 lb. Wolverhampton form since visor added reads 121; major player if as good back on Polytrack.
3 2nd (3) (17/2 -42%) Araifjan	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(3) Araifjan 17/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago. Down to last winning mark and one to note. Out of the frame in his last five starts but is back off last winning mark; shortlisted.
9 3rd (9) (7/2 +50%) Miss Moonshine	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(9) Miss Moonshine 7/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. Latest win at Lingfield in December. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 6/1) 16 days ago. Can go well again off the same mark. C&D winner who was just beaten at Lingfield last time; off the same mark and high on list.
11 4th (11) (10/1 -25%) Scramble	10 10/1(-25%)	(11) Scramble 10/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D (28/1) 11 days ago, slowly away. Far from certain to back that up. Off the mark at the 20th attempt over C&D 11 days ago; may have more to offer at the trip.
7 5th (7) (9/2 +10%) Smasher	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(7) Smasher 9/2, 7/4, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago, well positioned. Has discovered the winning knack since the cheekpieces went on and good chance in hat-trick bid. Bids for a hat-trick in cheekpieces after two wins at Wolverhampton; a contender.
4 6th (4) (5/1 +64%) Revision	5 5/1(+64%)	(4) Revision 5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Losing run up to 14 and this looks an inadequate test for him now; blinkers on.
6 7th (6) (12/1 +0%) Dulcet Spirit	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Dulcet Spirit 12/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago. Back off last winning mark but rarely seen over a trip this short and has the outside draw.
8 8th (8) (14/1 +30%) Divine Messenger	14 14/1(+30%)	(8) Divine Messenger 14/1, Course winner. Three wins from 10 runs last year. 17/2, eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago. Blinkers back on. Back off his last winning mark, but is down to 6f for the first time since he was a 3yo.
2 9th (2) (66/1 -164%) Art Collection	66 66/1(-164%)	(2) Art Collection 66/1, Latest win at Chantilly in October. 33/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 50 days ago. Has work to do. 10 wins in all, including six in France, but well held on stable debut; something to prove.
5 10th (5) (12/1 -140%) Seas Of Elzaam	12 12/1(-140%)	(5) Seas Of Elzaam 12/1, Off 4 months and gambled-on 2/1, respectable second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 20 days ago, conceding first run. Nudged back up 3 lb but one to remain interested in. Runner-up having been well backed at Wolverhampton last time; now 3lb higher.
1 11th (1) (40/1 -60%) Beautiful Surprise	40 40/1(-60%)	(1) Beautiful Surprise 40/1, 40/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 46 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Losing run up to 14; down in class but still hard to warm to; tongue-tie on.
12 12th (12) (100/1 -150%) Star Adorned	100 100/1(-150%)	(12) Star Adorned 100/1, 200/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Others have achieved more. 0-13 and little in her recent efforts to suggest she is about to break her duck.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (8/1 -14%) Man On A Mission	8 8/1(-14%)	(4) Man On A Mission 8/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/2, fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 23 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Needs treating as though still in form and return to 6f will suit. Blinkers off. Losing run stands at 16 but he's been threatening; no headgear today; each-way shout.
5 2nd (5) (10/3 +26%) Diamondsinthesand	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(5) Diamondsinthesand 10/3, Gained overdue first win at Wolverhampton in November. 5/2, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago. Likely to give it another good go. Poor strike-rate but he ran well for second over C&D latest; best off a strong pace.
2 3rd (2) (12/1 +25%) Holbache	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Holbache 12/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 14/1) 71 days ago, badly hampered. Tongue strap on for first time and he needs a check in the betting. Conditions to suit but he's been short of his best since returning last July.
9 4th (9) (13/2 -8%) Phoenix Star	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(9) Phoenix Star 13/2, Four-time C&D winner. 6/1, very good second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 14 days ago. Shortlist material from just 1 lb higher. Four C&D wins; on a good mark and ran well at Newcastle latest; one to consider.
8 5th (8) (14/1 -40%) Princess Naomi	14 14/1(-40%)	(8) Princess Naomi 14/1, Went backwards from reappearance when fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (7f) 25 days ago. Dropped below last winning mark and Oisin Murphy booked. On a good mark, drops in trip/class & Oisin Murphy booked; big run on the cards.
6 6th (6) (15/2 +38%) Porfin	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(6) Porfin 15/2, Ended 2023 out of sorts and needed to see more both starts this year, including at Wolverhampton on Friday. Has not found his best this winter, including when fourth at Wolverhampton on Friday.
10 7th (10) (4/1 +50%) Sisters In The Sky	4 4/1(+50%)	(10) Sisters In The Sky 4/1, Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Running well in defeat in recent starts; returning cheekpieces need to give him a lift.
11 8th (11) (40/1 -60%) Beauen Arrows	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Beauen Arrows 40/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 10/1) 16 days ago, slowly away but rushed up. Drops back in trip. 0-15 and well beaten in two runs this winter; down in weights but risky.
7 9th (7) (12/1 +0%) Diamond Dreamer	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Diamond Dreamer 12/1, C&D winner. Winner here in August. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (11/1). Off 149 days and he's not fully exposed. Two good C&D runs since fitted with blinkers; still feasibly treated but off for 5 months.
3 10th (3) (8/1 -220%) Due Date	8 8/1(-220%)	(3) Due Date 8/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap (9/4) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 9 days ago, comfortably. Hit with 7 lb rise but he's clearly in better form than most. Bolted up at Wolverhampton nine days ago; this is a bit stronger but he's a leading player.
1 11th (1) (14/1 -40%) One Hart	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) One Hart 14/1, 11/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago, not ideally placed having been forced wide on the home turn. Eases slightly in class. Placed over 7f off this mark on his last three starts; drawn widest on this return to 6f.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (11/1 -83%) See You Tonight	11 11/1(-83%)	(7) See You Tonight 11/1, 9/2 and hood/tongue strap on, fourth of 11 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 87 days ago. Will improve with that under her belt. Promise amidst greenness on her debut in November; hood off today; open to improvement.
5 2nd (5) (9/2 +36%) Arctic Dawn	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(5) Arctic Dawn 9/2, Eighth of 12 in novice event (33/1) at this C&D on debut. Off 137 days. Outpaced in the straight over C&D on debut in October; this looks weaker; more to come.
1 3rd (1) (4/1 -100%) Ribal	4 4/1(-100%)	(1) Ribal 4/1, Fairly useful gelding. Tongue strap on for first time, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when respectable second of 5 in novice event at Newcastle (6f, 5/2) 8 days ago, just failing. Kept to 6f and just about the one to beat. Promise over 1m2f for A Balding; ran just as well dropped to 6f on recent stable debut.
4 4th (4) (8/11 +61%) Alhather	0.727273 8/11(+61%)	(4) Alhather 8/11, Matched debut form when third of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, 4/1) 25 days ago, having run of race. Likely to be in the mix. Placed in both runs over 7f this winter; drop in trip can help; leading contender.
2 5th (2) (50/1 -25%) Trevanion	50 50/1(-25%)	(2) Trevanion 50/1, 360,000 gns yearling, 1,000 gns 3-y-o, Dark Angel gelding. Brother to 5f winner Wings of A Dove. Wears hood on belated debut. 360,000gns yearling but sold unraced for just 1,000gns in October; best watched on debut.
3 6th (3) (20/1 -233%) Electric Avenue	20 20/1(-233%)	(3) Electric Avenue 20/1, Little show first 2 starts but much more like it when fifth of 12 in maiden at this C&D (250/1) 32 days ago, needing stiffer test and keeping on well. More to come, particularly over 7f+. Big eyecatcher over C&D last month; remains capable of better.
6 7th (6) (40/1 -60%) Take Care	40 40/1(-60%)	(6) Take Care 40/1, Sixth of 11 in novice event (150/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on debut 53 days ago, never nearer. May well do better. Debut effort in December (6f, Tapeta) hinted at better but probably further down the line.
8 8th (8) (80/1 -400%) Warrior Tune	80 80/1(-400%)	(8) Warrior Tune 80/1, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 6f winner Incrimination. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, sister to US Grade 1 9f winner Singhalese. Half-sister to four winners out of a well-related winning mare; betting to guide.

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (15/8 +69%) Fire Demon	1.875 15/8(+69%)	(5) Fire Demon 15/8, DIdn't need to improve when won C&D maiden in January. 5 lengths fifth of 7 to Photosynthesis in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 11/8) 29 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Could be worth another chance. Disappointed last time but better than that and no surprise to see this C&D winner revive.
7 2nd (7) (13/2 -160%) Media Shooter	6.5 13/2(-160%)	(7) Media Shooter 13/2, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (10/11) at this C&D 15 days ago, well on top finish. 7 lb rise looks fair and he merits respect. Good record on AW but worse off with Photosynthesis having been beaten over 1l last month.
3 3rd (3) (66/1 -65%) Betties Bay	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Betties Bay 66/1, Off the mark at third time of asking in 12-runner maiden at Newbury in July. Stiff tasks on her next 2 outings and opening handicap mark looks on high side, so others are preferred. Faced some tough tasks as a 2yo either side of a Newbury win; this mark looks stiff.
8 4th (8) (9/2 +36%) Engineer	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(8) Engineer 9/2, Off the mark with something to spare in 6f maiden at Wolverhampton in November and ran even better in defeat when second to a good prospect over C&D later that month. Failed to improve switched to handicaps last time and now has cheekpieces added. Improvement needed to defy this mark but cheekpieces could help prompt it.
9 5th (9) (12/1 -50%) Influence	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Influence 12/1, Runner-up all 4 starts, albeit not quite improving for the longer trip as much as anticipated when second of 7 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 16 days ago. Bit more needed with cheekpieces applied for handicap debut. Runner-up in four starts (5f-7f); headgear added for handicap debut; may yet do better.
2 6th (2) (10/3 +5%) Photosynthesis	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(2) Photosynthesis 10/3, Left debut form well behind to justify support in 18-runner maiden at Navan in October. Resumed progress and showed good turn of foot to win -runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 29 days ago by length from Roman Emperor. High on the shortlist despite wide draw. Had a few of these behind when winning at Lingfield latest; more to come but drawn widest.
4 7th (4) (25/1 -108%) Eminny	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Eminny 25/1, Fairly useful dual 7f winner at 2. Good second of 6 in handicap at this course (7f, 9/1) 11 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Two wins over further last year; good 2nd here (7f) 11 days ago; dangerous with a repeat.
6 8th (6) (15/2 -25%) Roman Emperor	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(6) Roman Emperor 15/2, Off the mark at the third time of asking in 8-runner minor event at Southwell (6.1f) last month and has ran well in defeat both starts since, latterly when second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Sound claims again. Runner-up in both handicaps (6f, Lingfield); cheekpieces now tried; should go well again.
10 8th (10) (40/1 -300%) Hot Front	40 40/1(-300%)	(10) Hot Front 40/1, Winner at Lingfield in August. 10/3 and visored for 1st time, shaped best when second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago, conceding first run. Not long with current yard and she's one to note. More exposed than many but ran well in new visor last time; can get it wrong at the start.
1 10th (1) (80/1 -142%) Baileys Polka Dot	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) Baileys Polka Dot 80/1, Successful in pair of minor events at Dieppe on first 2 outings at 2 yrs before good fourth in lusted company. No better than mid-field in 3 starts since and is best watched with tongue strap applied for handicap debut. Two wins from six starts in France last year; looks vulnerable on AW/handicap debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (10/3 +26%) Just A Spark	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(7) Just A Spark 10/3, Course winner who made it 5 wins in a row on AW when just holding on at Wolverhampton (6f) 23 days ago. Only nudged up another 2lb and unlikely to go down without a fight under Oisin Murphy. Successful in her last five runs on AW; should remain competitive at a track she's won at.
2 2nd (2) (2/1 +43%) Al Farabi	2 2/1(+43%)	(2) Al Farabi 2/1, Won 7f course novice in October. Better form in defeat since, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 30 days ago. Remains unexposed for leading stable now dropping back to 6f. 7f winner here on stable debut; expensive to follow since; now drops in trip.
1 3rd (1) (11/2 +8%) Al Barez	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(1) Al Barez 11/2, Useful but not seen too often and absent since finishing sixth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 3/1) last May. Makes polytrack debut (won only tapeta start). Unepxosed 5yo; gelded since last seen; return to 6f can suit; of interest at this level.
4 4th (4) (14/1 -100%) Metaverse	14 14/1(-100%)	(4) Metaverse 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. Won 7-runner course novice (7f) 18 days ago, well on top finish. Makes handicap debut. His opening mark isn't obviously generous but he has potential as an unexposed type. Unexposed 7f course winner; more on his plate back in trip in a competitive handicap.
3 5th (3) (25/1 -56%) Haziym	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) Haziym 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Last of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Newcastle (6f) in December but had gone close there prior to that. Penultimate second was much more like it; below par latest but gelded after; can do better.
6 6th (6) (33/1 -175%) Count Otto	33 33/1(-175%)	(6) Count Otto 33/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. 9/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f) 35 days ago. Went close at Lingfield in December but couldn't back it up last time; opposable.
5 7th (5) (8/1 -14%) Holy Fire	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Holy Fire 8/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 10 in C&D handicap 67 days ago. Boasts a C&D record of 122; more on her plate against males today but should run her race.
8 8th (8) (12/1 -20%) Leap Abroad	12 12/1(-20%)	(8) Leap Abroad 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in November. Faded into sixth over 7f there since and treated as if still in form now back at his favoured 6f. Narrow win at Wolverhampton in Nov; not quite so good over 7f latest; easy lead unlikely.
12 9th (12) (11/1 -38%) Crimson Sand	11 11/1(-38%)	(12) Crimson Sand 11/1, Snapped a losing run in 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford (5f) 17 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb so should remain competitive. Good record on AW and he comes here on the back of a 5f Chelmsford win; considered.
9 10th (9) (33/1 -136%) Dubai Station	33 33/1(-136%)	(9) Dubai Station 33/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at this course (7f) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. His mark continues to fall but the outside stall could make life tricky here. Possible to make excuses for most of his runs for this yard; drops in class; respected.
10 11th (10) (22/1 -38%) High Velocity	22 22/1(-38%)	(10) High Velocity 22/1, Absent since finishing well held in a 7f Lingfield handicap 13 months ago but he had a good overall record on AW for James Tate and he needs checking out in the betting on this return for a new stable. Capable AW handicapper for James Tate; absent for 393 days; been gelded; others stronger.

Likely to give his usual good account. Narrow winner at Southwell last time but only does as much as is necessary; respected.
6 2nd (6) (12/1 +0%) Plantadream	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Plantadream 12/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 29 days ago, left poorly placed. Suggested he retained ability in first two starts after mammoth absence but held last time.
4 3rd (4) (10/3 +45%) Rhythm N Rock	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(4) Rhythm N Rock 10/3, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, creditable third of 7 in C&D handicap 11 days ago, running on. Should go well. Patchy form since winning over C&D in March 2022, but went close here last time.
9 4th (9) (10/1 -33%) Wildfell	10 10/1(-33%)	(9) Wildfell 10/1, Course winner. Four wins from 9 runs last year. 9/1, creditable 3¼ lengths second of 12 to Al Marmar in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 28 days ago. Beaten just over 3l by Al Marmar at Chelmsford last time and 7lb better off; more needed.
11 5th (11) (40/1 -122%) Charencey	40 40/1(-122%)	(11) Charencey 40/1, Winner at Newcastle in November. Sixth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (7f) 10 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Needs to bounce back, but remains unexposed and 1m should suit on pedigree; tongue-tie on.
2 6th (2) (18/1 -112%) Bet Me	18 18/1(-112%)	(2) Bet Me 18/1, Won a turf maiden in Britain for Richard Hannon in 2022 and also successful in France last year. Very interesting to see how this one goes in the betting now setting out for the George Boughey stable. 2-6 on turf; makes stable/AW debut after 230 days off; watch market.
7 7th (7) (14/1 -40%) Revolutionise	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Revolutionise 14/1, Course winner last month and went close back here (7f again) 15 days ago. This looks a bit more competitive, though. Two wins from his last 35 starts and out of the frame in four attempts at around 1m.
8 8th (8) (17/2 -13%) Al Marmar	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(8) Al Marmar 17/2, Back to winning ways in good style at Chelmsford in January. Respectable third of 7 over C&D (13/8) since. Still looks well treated on the Chelmsford form. Won well on penultimate start, but only third over C&D last time and up another 2lb.
10 9th (10) (33/1 -288%) Stately Home	33 33/1(-288%)	(10) Stately Home 33/1, 15/2, career best when winning 7-runner C&D handicap 22 days ago. Merits consideration up 2 lb. Record over C&D reads 733151; still well treated despite 2lb rise for latest win.
5 10th (5) (4/1 +11%) King's Vanity	4 4/1(+11%)	(5) King's Vanity 4/1, Won novice at Lingfield (7f) in January. Good second of 7 in a 7f novice here since and the return to 1m will suit now handicapping. Likely has more to offer for leading stable. First and second in Polytrack novices last month; open to more progress now handicapping.
1 11th (1) (9/1 +10%) Top Secret	9 9/1(+10%)	(1) Top Secret 9/1, C&D winner, the latest in December. Does need to bounce back from a couple of below-par runs this year, though. Had a good record here but below form in his last two starts; still looks high in weights.
