![]() Believitanducan |
(1) 1/1(+43%) | (1) Believitanducan 1/1, Signed off for Jessica Macey with a 2m Flat win at Beverley and followed up in 2m Newbury juvenile on hurdle debut. Well beaten when stepped up to Grade 2 level at Cheltenham since but retains potential with sights lowered. Tailed off in a Grade 2 last time, but back in calimer water here; longer trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Analiese |
(8) 10/3(+39%) | (8) Analiese 10/3, Left debut fourth well behind when scoring by 6 lengths at Hereford (2m, good to soft) 26 days ago. Likely capable of better again and bold show likely. Won nicely at Hereford last month; should be suited by the longer trip; high on the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Across Earth |
(3) 4/1(+0%) | (3) Across Earth 4/1, Fairly useful Flat winner for Marco Botti. 12/1, showed an aptitude for hurdling when 20 lengths second on first attempt at Huntingdon 8 days ago and entitled to come on for that first outing in 5 months. Beaten 20l by the winner when runner-up on recent hurdles debut; improvement needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() El Gavilan |
(5) 8/1(-60%) | (5) El Gavilan 8/1, Fair form over hurdles in France but below that level when placed twice in Britain this winter. Likely vulnerable for win purposes again. Promise over hurdles in France and when placed in last two British starts; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Eaststone Buck's |
(4) 10/1(+17%) | (4) Eaststone Buck's 10/1, Buck's Boum gelding. Dam (h87) maiden hurdler. In goods hands so would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong on debut. Something to like on pedigree and is with a major stable; market informative. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Fram Castle |
(6) 22/1(+33%) | (6) Fram Castle 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Lost his way for Ollie Sangster towards the end of 2024 and showed only minor promise when well-held fourth on Newbury hurdle debut last month. 0-12 under rules; fair fourth on recent hurdles debut but needs to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Vorderman |
(2) 50/1(-100%) | (2) Vorderman 50/1, Well held in 2 bumpers. Sprung a 25/1 surprise on Fontwell hurdle debut but the form is barely modest and he was well beaten under a penalty at Newbury since. Won an uncompetive event at Fontwell before well held at Newbuty; looks up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Like Magic |
(7) 150/1(-200%) | (7) Like Magic 150/1, Dual Flat winner in Germany but pulled too hard and well held on Ludlow hurdle debut for new yard 33 days ago. Has a tongue tie added this time. 2-5 on the Flat in Germany but well beaten on hurdles/stable debut; tongue-tie on. |
BELIEVITANDUCAN found life tough in the Grade 2 Triumph Hurdle trial at Cheltenham. Alan King's inmate had made a pleading hurdling debut when scoring at Newbury before that and looks worth another chance back at this level, despite carrying a penalty. Analiese is also burdened with a penalty for landing a maiden at Hereford last month, but she will likely appreciate this extra yardage, while Across Earth can get involved too.
ANALIESE should have more to come on the back of her Hereford success and is narrowly preferred to fellow hurdle winner Believitanducan. Across Earth may prove best of the remainder.
This can go to BELIEVEITANDUCAN who was out of his depth in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last time, but had won well on his hurdles debut.

![]() Sherminator |
(1) 11/8(+39%) | (1) Sherminator 11/8, Built on bumper promise when winning 7-runner juvenile hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 11/4) on hurdles bow 54 days ago on his sole run for Emma Lavelle. Open to improvement for his new yard. Likely player. Won on hurdling debut for Emma Lavelle at Newbury; now with a new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Good For You |
(4) 10/3(+17%) | (4) Good For You 10/3, Built on debut fourth when second of 14 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 23 days ago. Likely to progress further, so he's the one to beat. Bettered debut effort when second of 14 at Wincanton last month; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Red N Yellow |
(5) 7/2(-40%) | (5) Red N Yellow 7/2, Promising sort who has come in second in juvenile hurdles at Bangor and Exeter this winter. May do better still after a break so he's very much one to consider. Ideally needs to learn to settle better but came second on his first two outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Cote D'ange |
(2) 14/1(0%) | (2) Cote D'ange 14/1, Bathyrhon gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser in France Cote Fleurie and fair French chaser Cote d'Albatre. Considered newcomer. Half-brother to two French jumps winners; worth a glance in the betting before debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Conniemak |
(10) 18/1(+10%) | (10) Conniemak 18/1, Showed some promise when t hird of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Chepstow (16f, heavy, 18/1) on NH debut 41 days ago. Can't be discounted if building on it. Just a respectable third of six on debut at Chepstow but open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Uhtred Ragnarson |
(8) 20/1(-82%) | (8) Uhtred Ragnarson 20/1, Fair form shown in bumpers, sixth of 11 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft) 32 days ago. Much respected now going over hurdles. Showed some promise in bumpers but improvement is required on this hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Shareyourbiscuits |
(6) 40/1(-400%) | (6) Shareyourbiscuits 40/1, 10/3, well-held fifth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Warwick (16f, soft) on NH debut 30 days ago. In top hands but lots more is required. With a top stable but was unable to land a significant blow on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Flash In The Pan |
(3) 150/1(-127%) | (3) Flash In The Pan 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, behind when fell last in novice hurdle over C&D (soft, 50/1) 20 days ago. Needs a big step forward. Has shown a modicum of ability but was beaten when falling over C&D last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Adaay Dancing |
(9) 200/1(-33%) | (9) Adaay Dancing 200/1, 100/1 and hooded for 1st time, seventh of 8 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) 39 days ago. Makes hurdles debut with lots more required. Well beaten when 100-1 for two slow-ground Wincanton bumpers during the winter. |
RED N YELLOW has shown a lot of promise in finishing second in both his previous starts and won't need much of a step forward to get off the mark at just the third time of asking. Sherminator has form that ties in with the selection but a 7lb penalty for his Newbury success could be his undoing here. Good For You was a good second in a maiden at Wincanton last month and can also figure with another step forward.
GOOD FOR YOU holds much the best form on show and looks capable of better still so is fancied to get off the mark and fend off Harry Fry's new recruit and Newbury scorer Sherminator. Red N Yellow can also have a say though and could be set for a place once more.
Harry Fry's new recruit SHERMINATOR beat a good yardstick at Newbury in January and might be good enough to overcome his penalty.

![]() El Granjero |
(1) 2/1(+67%) | (1) El Granjero 2/1, Successful twice over hurdles last spring and returned to form in first-time cheekpieces with a near-miss at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) on New Year's Eve. Again found just one too good over the same C&D last month and this former point winner merits respect on chase debut. Dual winning hurdler and in good form lately; interesting on chase debut (1-1 in points). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Korus |
(7) 5/2(+29%) | (7) Korus 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden who, having finished in the money on 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles, made an encouraging start in this sphere when third in a 7-runner Plumpton handicap (19.8f, soft). Promises to be suited by this stiffer test and he's of strong interest with improvement on the cards. 0-7 under rules, but promising third on chase debut at Plumpton; this longer trip may suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() I Shut That D'or |
(6) 7/2(-17%) | (6) I Shut That D'or 7/2, Has been rejuvenated by the switch to front-running tactics, making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts with a another near-fautless round of jumping at Hereford (19f, good to soft) in January. Every inch a leading contender, for all that this 5 lb higher mark demands a new personal-best. Bids for fourth win in his last five starts; major player despite 5lb rise and longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Just Loose Change |
(5) 7/1(+72%) | (5) Just Loose Change 7/1, Twice a winner over hurdles and much improved in this sphere when rallying for success in novices' handicap at Huntingdon (23.6f, good) in November. However, he has proved disappointing since and the first-time cheekpieces (on again here) failed to spark a return to form at Market Rasen last time. Off the mark over fences at Huntingdon in November, but has been disappointing since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Sainte Doctor |
(4) 8/1(-100%) | (4) Sainte Doctor 8/1, Successful final 2 starts of 2022/23 campaign before an 18-month absence. Back in the groove on fourth outing since returning from that hiatus, landing a 4-runner Fakenham handicap (21.2f, good) in ready fashion last month. 3 lb rise easy to swallow and she has to enter calculations. Showed ability remains when beating three rivals at Fakenham last month; respected up 3lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Stratagem |
(2) 28/1(-180%) | (2) Stratagem 28/1, Useful sort who made all in 3m Southwell hunter in May 2022. Hasn't got near that level since but, on the upside, his mark continues to slide and he will be a danger to all if able to get back on track. Last two wins in hunter chases; bit to prove back from another layoff. |
I Shut That D'or bids for a hat-trick raised 5lb for winning at Hereford, though he is progressing well and another bold bid is expected. Sainte Doctor returned a ready winner when upped in distance at Fakenham and she can land a blow, but PILSDON PEN will be sharper for last month's reappearance in the mud at Lingfield. A dual winner at Wincanton last season, this faster surface will suit Jeremy Scott's charge and he should have more to offer over fences.
None of these can be ruled out with any great confidence but KORUS nevertheless stands out on account of his potential following an encouraging debut in this sphere at Plumpton. The 5-y-o shapes as though he'll benefit from this step up in trip and he shades preference ahead of in-form rivals Shut That d'Or and Sainte Doctor. Chase debutant El Granjero is also interesting.
The vote goes to I SHUT THAT D'OR who has been flying since November and is taken to continue his rich vein of form.

![]() More Coko |
(1) 1/8(+25%) | (1) More Coko 1/8, Took his unbeaten record to 3 with facile success in a thin 17f Carlisle novice hurdle 5 weeks ago under this rider. Can defy a double penalty stepped up in trip. 3-3 and barely tested in a bumper and two hurdle starts; huge chance despite 12lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Old Cowboy |
(3) 4/1(-14%) | (3) Old Cowboy 4/1, Purchased for £66,000 after finishing runner-up in a point. Encouraging start over hurdles when third at Newbury in January but has folded and finished well held twice since. This is easier up in trip at least and he's the obvious danger to More Coko. Newbury third on rules debut is solid form; not matched it since but still a key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Drumheller |
(2) 33/1(+67%) | (2) Drumheller 33/1, Fair third on his better bumper run last season but little impact over hurdles this term, struggling early final circuit here 6 weeks ago. Some promise in two bumpers but yet to shine over hurdles; future lies in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Playaway Girl |
(5) 80/1(-21%) | (5) Playaway Girl 80/1, Well held in bumpers/2 juvenile hurdles. Steps up in distance. Neither hurdle run suggests she's of interest this side of handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Surrey Nemesis |
(4) 200/1(-100%) | (4) Surrey Nemesis 200/1, No form in bumpers/2 starts over hurdles (suffered breathing problem with tongue tie left off for new yard after 11 months away latest). Cheekpieces tried up in trip. Poor form in her five starts; new headgear not enough to tempt. |
MORE COKO maintained his unbeaten record when coasting home at Carlisle last month and a double penalty is unlikely to halt his progression, Willie Mullins' charge looks capable of more and he's taken to fend off chief threat Old Cowboy. The son of Blue Bresil should prove more competitive than his latest effort in a class 2 event at Ascot. Drumheller may fare best of the remainder.
Willie Mullins has his first runner at Plumpton in MORE COKO and the Carlisle winner can make it 4-4 with further improvement on the way. Old Cowboy hasn't convinced in the finish the last twice but is the obvious threat for the Moore yard.
Old Cowboy's debut third gives him claims but this looks a good opportunity for MORE COKO to maintain his unbeaten record.

![]() Fasol |
(3) 1/1(+38%) | (3) Fasol 1/1, A useful winning stayer on the Flat in France. Yet to match that form over hurdles and only ninth of 10 in 2m4f Windsor handicap in January. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark a resurgence. Had wind op after below-par run in January; big player if judged on earlier handicap form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() High Fibre |
(5) 5/2(-25%) | (5) High Fibre 5/2, Fairly useful on Flat and shaped well when placed at Wincanton and Taunton switched to hurdles. Only third when odds-on for Kempton maiden hurdle last time however. Worth another chance. Below form when warm favourite last time but remains of interest in this type of event. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Disguisedlimit |
(1) 3/1(+14%) | (1) Disguisedlimit 3/1, Mahler gelding won sole start in Irish points and showed promise when placed in maiden hurdles at Chepstow and Southwell before Christmas. Open to a fair bit of progress after a break. Player. Irish point winner; settled better when second at Southwell in December; more needed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Ted The Thief |
(10) 18/1(-29%) | (10) Ted The Thief 18/1, €11,500 4-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced. A winning pointer so possibilities now starting out in this sphere. Won a maiden point last month but has much more on his plate on this rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Sangpoursangamoi |
(9) 25/1(+50%) | (9) Sangpoursangamoi 25/1, Shaped well when fourth in bumper at Hereford but he came in last of 10 in similar company at Windsor in January. Needs a big step forward on his hurdles bow. Made fairly encouraging bumper debut at Hereford but well beaten in stronger bumper since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Monteria |
(7) 40/1(-186%) | (7) Monteria 40/1, A fair Flat winner but off since a below-par eighth at Doncaster in October. Needs to hit the ground running now going hurdling. Fair on the Flat at around 1m2f; makes hurdling debut after break; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Eton Blue |
(2) 40/1(-60%) | (2) Eton Blue 40/1, Free-going sort rather going through the motions on the level again recently and was well beaten on his sole previous try over hurdles. Fair on the Flat but his only previous hurdle run (in 2022) was disappointing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Game On Babe |
(11) 50/1(-79%) | (11) Game On Babe 50/1, Maiden pointer and she looks more one for the longer term under Rules judged on her efforts in a Market Rasen bumper and novice hurdle last month. Maiden pointer; did not achieve a great deal when last of four finishers on hurdle debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Glancing Back |
(12) 150/1(-50%) | (12) Glancing Back 150/1, Passing Glance mare. Sister to fair chaser Glance Back, and half-sister to 2 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Back By Midnight. Possibilities on her debut. Half-sister to stable's fair chaser Back By Midnight; best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Baronetti |
(14) 150/1(-500%) | (14) Baronetti 150/1, Last of 4 in novice on Flat at Lingfield 9 months ago on his sole run for Simon & Ed Crisford. Needs a big step forward on his yard/hurdles bow. Has a good Flat pedigree but his one Flat run last year was disappointing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Hector's Hope |
(4) 250/1(-67%) | (4) Hector's Hope 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at this course (19f, soft, 250/1) on hurdles bow 34 days ago. Lots more needed. Pulled up when 250-1 for last month's hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Pretty Punctual |
(13) 250/1(-67%) | (13) Pretty Punctual 250/1, Well beaten in Catterick bumper last month and a distant tenth in 12-runner mares' maiden on C&D hurdles bow 51 days ago. Well beaten when 300-1 for C&D (good to soft) mares' maiden on hurdling debut in January. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Millsbridge |
(6) 300/1(-100%) | (6) Millsbridge 300/1, Eleventh of 13 in bumper (125/1) at Warwick (16f, good) on NH debut. Off 10 months ahead of his hurdles debut with his fitness to prove. Well beaten when a big-priced outsider for good-ground Warwick bumper last April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Saddlers Dream |
(8) 300/1(-100%) | (8) Saddlers Dream 300/1, Has shown little in bumpers at Ffos Las and Fontwell either side of Christmas. Much more is required on his hurdles debut. Showed no promise in two slow-ground bumpers during the winter; hurdle debut today. |
High Fibre and FASOL appear to be the pair to focus on, with the latter readily preferred as he drops in class for his first run since undergoing wind surgery. Paul Nicholls has won two of the last six renewals and appears to have plotted an ideal opportunity for the son of Galileo to strike. High Fibre has speed from the Flat and can give the selection plenty to think about on just his fourth hurdles start. Disguisedlimit and point-to-point winner Ted The Thief are other notable options.
Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and winning-pointer DISGUISEDLIMIT is fancied to build on earlier promise and get off the mark in this sphere. High Fibre fluffed his lines when an odds-on third at Kempton last time out but could still emerge as the main danger, although Fasol also has the form to play a big part too if breathing surgery has the desired effect.
High Fibre and FASOL were both below par when last in action but they may end up fighting this out. The latter gets the vote.

![]() Summerleaze |
(8) 15/8(+63%) | (8) Summerleaze 15/8, Has looked limited so far but has switched to Olly Murphy since last seen in the autumn and she would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in her favour. Well worth a market check on stable debut after 140 days off; drying ground may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Les's Jersey Royal |
(4) 9/2(+25%) | (4) Les's Jersey Royal 9/2, Poor form, beaten 26 lengths when second in 21f Wincanton handicap last month. First-time cheekpieces will need to give him something extra. Distant second behind a dual subsequent winner last month; bit more needed; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Seasmoke |
(3) 6/1(+0%) | (3) Seasmoke 6/1, Prominent racer who made it third time lucky in handicaps at Market Rasen (20.5f, good) last May. Merely passed beaten horses when remote fourth at Huntingdon 18 days ago but he might come on for that first outing in 9 months. Market Rasen winner last spring; possibilities if recent run has brought her on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Pearl's Pirate |
(6) 15/2(-7%) | (6) Pearl's Pirate 15/2, Showed a bit sole bumper outing last March. Well beaten in novice hurdles since but may do better now handicapping over further. Check the betting. Beaten a long way over hurdles, but may appreciate this longer trip on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Arctic Angel |
(5) 10/1(-100%) | (5) Arctic Angel 10/1, Posted her best effort over hurdles on her handicap debut when third of 9 at Chepstow (19.5f, heavy) 6 weeks ago. That form has been franked so she can go well again off the same mark. Third on handicap debut at Chepstow last time; possibilities off the same mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Nowyouvebinandunit |
(14) 11/1(+0%) | (14) Nowyouvebinandunit 11/1, Placed twice in handicaps for Simon Earle in summer 2023. Lightly raced since and didn't get the chance to show what she could do (brought down early) on recent first outing for Neil Mulholland. 0-10 but has shown some ability; could make an impact if the ground continues to dry out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Welcheston Warrier |
(2) 18/1(-50%) | (2) Welcheston Warrier 18/1, Only minor promise so far but more chance now handicapping over a trip which should suit on breeding. Well held in a bumper and two completed starts over hurdles; leap of faith is required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Atlantic Power |
(13) 18/1(-29%) | (13) Atlantic Power 18/1, Poor form under Rules, coming in a well-held third on 2¾m Fontwell handicap debut (heavy) 15 days ago. Early days but improvement will be needed. Better performance when third at Fontwell 15 days ago; needs more but he remains unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Illico De Montave |
(7) 18/1(+55%) | (7) Illico De Montave 18/1, Reaching the frame in a pair of 2m novice hurdles last spring but has failed to make an impact in 4 handicaps subsequently. First-time cheekpieces will need to make a difference. Fourth in first two starts over hurdles but well beaten in handicaps since; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Quite The Getaway |
(9) 20/1(+20%) | (9) Quite The Getaway 20/1, Made the frame twice from 4 starts in bumpers but has yet to better poor form over hurdles, including 2 handicaps this winter. Placed in two of his four starts in bumpers, but well beaten in five outings over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Guguss Collonges |
(10) 20/1(+20%) | (10) Guguss Collonges 20/1, Successful twice over fences in autumn 2023 but has largely struggled over hurdles and fences since. First outing since October. 0-16 over hurdles and has been performing poorly since the start of last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Knocknagappagh |
(1) 22/1(+12%) | (1) Knocknagappagh 22/1, Long-standing maiden but likely would have won a handicap chase at Leicester in December but for a bad mistake at the last. In nothing like the same form when pulled up at Huntingdon since and now reverts to hurdles. Favourably treated on best form in Ireland, but record of 0-27 under rules doesn't inspire. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Darcy's Glance |
(11) 33/1(0%) | (11) Darcy's Glance 33/1, Well held in 3 bumpers/maiden hurdles. Handicap debut. Little in three bumpers and three hurdles; makes handicap debut after 284 days off. |
ARCTIC ANGEL posted her best effort over hurdles to date when third at Chepstow on her handicap debut. She may well have finished closer with a more fluent display of jumping and looks on a feasible mark based on that evidence. Les's Jersey Royal was no match for King Of The Lake when second at Wincanton, but the latter has subsequently landed a hat-trick so that form looks strong. Summerleaze is worth noting too.
ARCTIC ANGEL made a reasonably promising start to her handicap career at Chepstow and might prove the answer in a race where few arrive with compelling claims. Summerleaze has been the subject of an interesting trainer change and market support for her would look significant. Seasmoke should strip fitter for last month's Huntingdon run and completes the shortlist.
An open race can go to ARCTIC ANGEL who showed enough at Chepstow last time to suggest that a race like this is within her reach.

![]() J'habite En France |
(3) 3/1(0%) | (3) J'habite En France 3/1, Has got back on track over fences this year, readily landing 2m Huntingdon handicap in January and returning to form under a forceful ride there last time. Not taken lightly off the same mark. Two good runs at Huntingdon this year; closely matched with Pescatorius. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Pescatorius |
(5) 3/1(-20%) | (5) Pescatorius 3/1, Capitalised on drop in the weights when getting off the mark in 2m novice handicap chase at Catterick in December and just failed despite a tendency to jump left at Huntingdon (J'Habite En France third) last time. Back on left-handed track now and respected. Improving chaser; just missed out at Huntingdon last month; strong claims up 1lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Birdman Bob |
(4) 10/3(+44%) | (4) Birdman Bob 10/3, A regular here, successful on his return in November 2023 and plenty of good efforts since, shaping better than the distance beaten over C&D 4 weeks ago. Down another 2 lb but this looks tough. Course win over hurdles; not run badly over fences the last twice but needs more to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Celtic Ned |
(2) 13/2(-63%) | (2) Celtic Ned 13/2, Fair hurdler who went well for a long way in one of these handicaps at Wincanton in November, jumping better having been ridden with more restraint. Possibly needed his first run since at Fontwell a fortnight ago and interesting back down in trip with blinkers reached for. Yet to shine over fences but well treated on hurdle best; better ground/blinkers may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Spicy Nelson |
(6) 7/1(+50%) | (6) Spicy Nelson 7/1, Cost quite a bit but no better than poor form over hurdles, looking awkward as he dropped away at Fontwell when last seen in December. Now tries chasing in different headgear. Not lived up to market expectation in handicap hurdles; not bred for chasing; others safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Taxus Baccata |
(1) 15/2(-50%) | (1) Taxus Baccata 15/2, Hasn't yet fulfilled her bumper promise over hurdles but this Irish point winner is likely to show more of what she's about now handicapping over fences. Point/bumper winner; makes her handicap/chase debut at a modest level; unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Elzaaro |
(9) 16/1(+20%) | (9) Elzaaro 16/1, Poor maiden jumper. Visor tried. Little solid form and a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Can't Buy Time |
(10) 28/1(+44%) | (10) Can't Buy Time 28/1, Little solid form over hurdles/fences. Unplaced in all ten starts and hard to recommend from out of the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Clondaw Robin |
(7) 33/1(+0%) | (7) Clondaw Robin 33/1, Veteran still winless over fences (just 1-40 overall) and probably set for another struggle judged on recent efforts. Poor strike-rate and he's been out of sorts so far this winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() The Last Melon |
(8) 150/1(-50%) | (8) The Last Melon 150/1, Poor veteran. Off almost 4 years prior to this season and switch to chasing now looks the last throw of the dice. Makes his chase debut as a 13yo and can't be recommeded. |
PESCATORIUS lost little in defeat when finding only an unexposed rival too strong at Huntingdon 18 days ago. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings may prove inconsequential for Harriet Dickin's inmate and a second career victory could be on the cards. J'habite En France finished behind the selection in third and the six-year-old isn't taken lightly racing off an unchanged mark. Celtic Ned and Taxus Baccata are also noted.
CELTIC NED has dropped in the weights and could have a bigger effort in him over fences now fitted with blinkers. He gets the vote over Pescatorius and J'Habite En France who are closely matched on their recent Huntingdon running.
Last month's Huntingdon handicap where PESCATORIUS finished in front of J'Habite En France could be the key formline.

![]() Sunninghill |
(2) 5/2(+9%) | (2) Sunninghill 5/2, Fair Flat maiden who is proving consistent in this sphere, posting a very good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, soft) 74 days ago. Merits serious consideration nudged up 1 lb. Strong traveller who's up to winning off this mark if more amenable back from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Phoenix Risen |
(4) 3/1(+67%) | (4) Phoenix Risen 3/1, Scored at Wincanton in December but below par in a pair of handicap hurdles over C&D since. This C&D winner needs to bounce back. Dual C&D winner who hasn't been at his best here the past twice; high in the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Baseline |
(1) 4/1(-20%) | (1) Baseline 4/1, Failed to build on his Southwell second when a free-going fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, soft, 6/1) 67 days ago. Could still do better on his handicap hurdle debut though. Huntingdon fourth has worked out particularly well since; can improve if more amenable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Dirty Den |
(5) 9/2(-100%) | (5) Dirty Den 9/2, Fair bumper performer who arrives in very good nick, second of 13 in 2m handicap hurdle at Huntingdon 18 days ago. 2 lb higher now but is not taken lightly with cheekpieces added. Hasn't always found a lot but is one of the likelier winners if cheekpieces do the job. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Taritino |
(6) 8/1(+43%) | (6) Taritino 8/1, Fair 14f Flat scorer but not at that level back hurdling this winter and fell 3 out in handicap at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 41 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Still to convince over hurdles (hasn't always jumped well); bit to prove back from a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Renoir |
(3) 11/1(-47%) | (3) Renoir 11/1, A fair 1m4f Flat scorer who has taken well to hurdling, second in 12-runner novice at Hereford (2m) in January. One to consider now going into handicaps. Remains open to a bit of improvement if settling but will need it off this opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Majestic Mia |
(7) 33/1(+0%) | (7) Majestic Mia 33/1, Hinted at promise but she came in only seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy, 66/1) 17 days ago. Plenty more is required. Isn't obviously fancied, having finished well beaten at a big price on her handicap debut. |
DIRTY DEN has been well supported on his last two starts and although coming up short on both occasions, this appears to be the ideal opportunity to gain a first success over timber. With the trip and ground ideal, first-time cheekpieces could provide the son of Dragon Dancer with the missing ingredient. Renoir has a very similar profile and is another attractive proposition on just his third start in this discipline. The stable companions Baseline and Sunninghill are others to keep an eye on.
A tight-knit handicap in which the in-form SUNNINGHILL is taken to gain a deserved first win in this sphere at the chief expense of Dirty Den, who also arrives at the top of his game. Handicap-debutants Renoir and Baseline are also in the picture too.
The Hobbs/White yard has been going well of late and BASELINE is narrowly preferred to stablemate Sunninghill.

![]() Moon Chime |
(3) 13/8(+73%) | (3) Moon Chime 13/8, Useful dual bumper winner who scored twice in this sphere last season. Shaped well on his return when fourth at Carlisle but failed to justify market support when hanging away his chance when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f). May be worth keeping the faith off this mark. 4-8 in bumpers/hurdles; has suggested he will be suited by return to a left-handed track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Golden Maverick |
(2) 3/1(+33%) | (2) Golden Maverick 3/1, Fairly useful on Flat and three-time winner over hurdles for this yard. Travelled more kindly when fourth in first-time visor on penultimate run, reverted to type when going in snatches last time yet found plenty for pressure to score (Carlisle, 17f). Capable if first-time blinkers do the trick. Three wins soft ground wins in the past year and won on fast ground on the Flat; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Balhambar |
(1) 9/2(+10%) | (1) Balhambar 9/2, Much improved sent handicapping in this sphere last season and returned in similar vein, when excellent third at Cheltenham prior to chasing home a decent sort (Alnilam) at Southwell (15.8f). Not at his best from this mark in a better race latest but he's a player down in grade if back on song. Has been mainly consistent over the past year, but modest at Musselburgh last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Klic Boum |
(8) 6/1(+0%) | (8) Klic Boum 6/1, Caught the eye in maiden/novice hurdles and similar story in handicaps, noted finishing with running left when third in 10-runner contest at Hereford (19.7f) last month. While drop back to 2 miles may not be ideal, connections could make use of his stamina in a race without much pace. Chance. 0-8 under rules; third at Hereford last month but not sure drop back in trip is a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Schmilsson |
(5) 10/1(+29%) | (5) Schmilsson 10/1, Second hurdle success when shading a tight finish in 2m Wetherby handicap on seasonal reappearance. Hasn't been able to hit those heights since, again a shade disappointing when fifth of 6 at Taunton (16.5f) 20 days ago, although that was a 0-140 and he's not ruled out off 2 lb in a weaker race. Back off last winning mark, but his efforts in the meantime not compelling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Maasai Mara |
(4) 20/1(-25%) | (4) Maasai Mara 20/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in 2023 and looked promising when landing a Catterick juvenile last season. Unconvincing on the Level last summer but wasn't disgraced when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (19.7f, good to soft) 26 days ago and he's fairly handicapped if putting it all together. Not really convinced in two starts at Hereford since returning to hurdles in December. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Mister Wilson |
(7) 50/1(-52%) | (7) Mister Wilson 50/1, Inconsistent type whose losing run dates back to June 2023. Previously with Gavin Cromwell and offered little encouragement (in first-time hood) on debut for this yard in December. Others preferred. 1-23 over jumps and tailed off on stable debut at Uttoxeter in December; tongue-tie on. |
A 276-day absence proved no barrier to success for Hara Kiri when he completed a hat-trick at Leicester in December. Olly Murphy's lightly-raced eight-year-old must enter calculations, but a 7lb higher mark could leave him vulnerable. With that in mind, it could be worth chancing the downgraded BALHAMBAR, who looked progressive prior to his below-par 10th at Musselburgh. Golden Maverick and Klic Boum are others to consider.
A trappy event made even trickier by the obvious lack of pace. Bumper winner and dual hurdles scorer MOON CHIME doesn't lack for speed at this level, and he could be worth another chance off a fair handicap mark. Hara Kiri arrives with obvious claims chasing a four-timer, while Balhambar has chased home some decent horses this season and despite disappointing on his latest start, is entitled to plenty of respect back down in grade.
The form of GOLDEN MAVERICK's latest Carlisle win has since been boosted and he is taken to follow up for last year's winning stable.

![]() Graham |
(1) 6/4(-20%) | (1) Graham 6/4, Fairly useful on Flat successful twice for Richard Hannon (both on good to firm) and although yet to reach the same level in his qualifying runs on soft/heavy ground over hurdles, he strikes as the type that could do much better for switch to handicaps on better ground, off a fair opening mark. Dual 1m4f winner for Richard Hannon; more aggressive tactics could help now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Jorebel |
(2) 9/4(+84%) | (2) Jorebel 9/4, Placed in Irish points but well held in maiden/novice hurdles this winter. Needs to step forward from those efforts but may be capable of better on handicap debut. Hasn't offered a lot in three runs over hurdles; want to see some support now handicapping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Lady Caro |
(4) 3/1(+45%) | (4) Lady Caro 3/1, Set a good gallop when nearly making-all in a Hereford handicap (16.2f) on penultimate run, only narrowly denied in closing stages. Not in same form fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, soft) 61 days ago, but very interesting if she can bounce back to form following a short break. Went close off this mark in December; one of the likelier winners of an ordinary affair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Character Testing |
(5) 8/1(-33%) | (5) Character Testing 8/1, Fair scorer on the Flat up to 10f for Tom Clover. Has been consistent fairly over hurdles (but remains a maiden) for current connections. Hood on for the first time when second of 8 at Warwick (16f) in December, but not quite in the same form third at Fakenham the following month. Has a bit to find. Has often pulled hard and been fitted with a hood the past twice; needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Westtara |
(3) 22/1(+45%) | (3) Westtara 22/1, Left previous efforts behind when third in maiden at this venue in April 2024 before finishing season with a creditable third of 7 in a handicap at Fontwell (25.8f, good). Seemingly working his way to full fitness on two underwhelming runs this season and should be no excuses on that front here. Pulled up latest (2m7f, soft); the emphasis will be more on speed today; hard to recommend. |
A spin on the Flat when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton 13 days ago should have put EARLY MORNING DEW spot-on for this return to hurdles. The nine-year-old is lurking on an attractive mark and a breakthrough victory in this discipline looms. Graham hasn't cut much ice in three timber outings to date, but he enters handicaps off a workable-looking rating. The son of Time Test is feared most, ahead of Character Testing.
Having raced off a BHA mark of 80 on the Flat, GRAHAM is an interesting contender rated only 93 for his handicap hurdle debut and he may be able to leave behind the form he has shown in maiden hurdles now back on a sounder surface. He's worth a market check, as is Early Morning Dew who is potentially well-treated returning to this sphere for the first time for current connections. Lady Caro set a good gallop when narrowly denied at Hereford in December, and she's a player if back on song.
Early Morning Dew is potentially well treated but the vote goes to GRAHAM, who starts handicap life on a sensible mark.

![]() Bells Of Peterboro |
(5) 2/1(+64%) | (5) Bells Of Peterboro 2/1, Dual winner at Chepstow last season and bounced back to his best when runner-up in 23f handicap chase at Lingfield 27 days ago. Very much one to consider. Unreliable but ran well in defeat behind a progressive rival last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Inis Oirr |
(1) 9/4(+36%) | (1) Inis Oirr 9/4, A useful winning stayer but yet to hit top form this term. Blinkers replaced usual visor when unseated rider 1st in handicap chase (4/1) at Musselburgh (31.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Handily weighted for his in-form yard so not written off. Yet to match form of last season's wide-margin marathon win but still considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Laskalin |
(6) 7/2(-40%) | (6) Laskalin 7/2, Blinkered for 1st time when landing 14-runner handicap chase at Bangor (29.6f, heavy) 31 days ago. Back up 7b lb but not taken lightly with the headgear again sported. Second in this race last year and bounced back to form in first-time blinkers last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Musical Slave |
(7) 5/1(+29%) | (7) Musical Slave 5/1, Scored at Fontwell in October and has continued in good nick, fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Exeter (30.7f, heavy) 94 days ago. One for the shortlist. On the downgrade but won in the autumn and returns from a break with trip/ground suitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() No Hubs No Hoobs |
(3) 12/1(-140%) | (3) No Hubs No Hoobs 12/1, Ended last season with a hat-trick of staying handicap chase wins. Mark rose considerably as a result and failed to come on for his reappearance when pulled up in the Welsh National in December. This rates more suitable at least. Ended last season in excellent form; yet to get going after two runs this term. |
The combination of a longer trip and first-time blinkers proved just the trick for last month's 3m5f Bangor winner LASKALIN and there may be more to come. A 7lb higher rating looks workable for Venetia Williams' veteran and an eighth career victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Inis Oirr, who is racing off an attractive mark, while a 2lb nudge up in the ratings shouldn't prevent Lingfield runner-up Bells Of Peterboro going well again either.
INIS OIRR got no further than the first at Mussleburgh last time out but he has slipped in the weights and is fancied to bounce back in style for his in-form yard. Bangor scorer Laskalin rates the obvious threat, although Bells of Peterboro and Musical Slave can both have a say too.
His attempt to defend his Edinburgh National crown five weeks ago did not last long but INIS OIRR remains on a good mark.

![]() Non Stop |
(6) 11/4(-22%) | (6) Non Stop 11/4, Drew a blank over fences last season but returned to winning ways over hurdles when taking a handicap at Plumpton on return in November. Lost little caste in defeat when runner-up back in this sphere last time and he's a leading contender off the same mark here. Has twice finished runner-up off this mark over fences including last time; high on list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Salamanca Bay |
(2) 3/1(+70%) | (2) Salamanca Bay 3/1, Headstrong sort who was well served by fitting of a hood when off the mark over fences for Lucinda Russell at Ayr last March. No show in 3 starts for Dan Skelton this season and hopes pinned on another yard switch helping to spark a return to form. Starts out for another new yard and is 1lb below his last winning mark; watch market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Dancing In Brazil |
(7) 3/1(+14%) | (7) Dancing In Brazil 3/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who has performed with credit in handicap hurdles at Newbury and Huntingdon for new yard the last twice. Likely to be in the thick of things, provided that his jumping passes the test now tackling the larger obstacles. 0-10 since winning a Huntingdon bumper but worth a second look on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Yes Indeed |
(4) 8/1(+33%) | (4) Yes Indeed 8/1, Fairly useful winning chaser in France he's yet to get his head in front on these shores and ran poorly at Worcester on latest appearance/final run for Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill last summer. Others preferred. 0-16 for the O'Neill yard; makes his stable debut after 252 days off and best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Jetronic |
(1) 9/1(+18%) | (1) Jetronic 9/1, Chase winner in France and landed a Plumpton novice hurdle for Paul Nicholls last spring. Little impact in 3 starts for present yard but he is at least coming down the weights and is also eased in class here. Poor in four starts since winning over hurdles at Plumpton a year ago; hard to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Intrepide Sud |
(5) 9/1(-6%) | (5) Intrepide Sud 9/1, Fair bumper winner who opened his hurdling account in 2m novice at Uttoxeter in October. Pulled up last 2 starts but makes chase debut off what looks a reasonable mark and he could be a factor if he takes to fences at the first attempt. Pulled up over hurdles the last twice; worth a second look on chase debut (1-1 in points). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Cat Tiger |
(3) 20/1(-100%) | (3) Cat Tiger 20/1, Useful chaser at best but below par both starts since rejoining former yard, including with first-time cheekpieces enlisted (retained here) at Lingfield latest. Sole success over a trip shy of 2½m was gained back in 2018 and he will almost certainly find things happening too quickly returned to 2m. Very useful handicap/hunter chaser, but two modest efforts since returning in October. |
NON STOP found only a course specialist too strong at Plumpton 28 days ago and this looks a suitable opportunity for the six-year-old to break his duck over fences. Joe Tizzard's charge makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and he's taken to fend off chase debutant Dancing In Brazil. The Blue Bresil gelding arrives on the back of a solid hurdles third at Huntingdon and a similar performance will likely see him go close. The downgraded Jetronic is also noted.
Chase debutants DANCING IN BRAZIL and Intrepide Sud may well come to the fore, assuming that they both get into a good rhythm jumping-wise. The latter has a bit to prove having pulled up in handicap hurdles the last twice but perhaps this change of vocation will help him get back on the right path. That said, Dancing In Brazil arrives here on the back of a couple of creditable efforts and he is marginally preferred. Non Stop is the clear pick of those with experience over fences.
Preference is for NON STOP (nap) who has twice finished runner-up off this mark over fences. He wouldn't need much more to win this.

![]() Despereaux |
(3) 5/2(+38%) | (3) Despereaux 5/2, Scored at Ludlow and Taunton in December and not discredited off an 8 lb high mark when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (23.9f, good to soft) 70 days ago. Needs considering after a break. Two wins in December when upped to 3m; beaten in a stronger race latest; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Limerick Leader |
(5) 5/2(+72%) | (5) Limerick Leader 5/2, Scored at Perth in September and has continued in good form, third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (23f) 24 days ago. Firmly in the picture. Best run for new yard when third at Fakenham last month; more required this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Warranty |
(1) 10/3(+67%) | (1) Warranty 10/3, Course winner who comes here on the back of a respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (25f, good to soft) 49 days ago. In the mix. Conditions unlikely to pose a problem and he's a contender on this winter's best runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Rickety Bridge |
(2) 4/1(-220%) | (2) Rickety Bridge 4/1, Took a step forward on just his second handicap start when runner-up in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Chepstow (23.6f, soft) 16 days ago. Up 2 lb but he's not taken lightly with few miles still on the clock. Both wins on soft and disappointing in one run on good; personal best latest; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() La Dolce Dolly |
(4) 7/1(-133%) | (4) La Dolce Dolly 7/1, Won sole start in Irish points and built on earlier promise on his handicap bow when a running-on fourth of 6 at Market Rasen (2m4f) 20 days ago. Can do better still now up to 3m. Interesting. Point winner; fair fourth on handicap debut and this step up in trip will suit; unexposed. |
RICKETY BRIDGE, a creditable second in a class 2 series qualifier at Chepstow last month, is readily suggested as the one to be with as he drops in class. Despereaux rounded last year off in good form and can figure despite being being held off this mark at Taunton last time out. La Dolce Dolly is the least exposed of these in handicaps and could be the surprise package on these terms.
None of these can be ruled out but LA DOLCE DOLLY took a step forward on her first go in handicaps when fourth at Market Rasen and can now add to her pointing success with her stamina unlocked more. Paul Nicholls' lightly-raced Chepsttow runner-up Rickety Bridge is feared most, although Limerick Leader, Desperaux and Warranty all command plenty of respect too in an intriguing contest.
Warranty looks set to go well but DESPEREAUX (nap) can resume his progress back down in grade.

![]() Skin Full |
(10) 13/8(+19%) | (10) Skin Full 13/8, Didn't come close to justifying strong market support in 2m handicap chase at Wincanton in December, but much more like it when going close back hurdling at Doncaster (24.4f, good). Bred to be much better than his current mark and he looks the way to go. Close second when hiked up to 3m and returned to hurdling last month; must be considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Ca Plane Pour Moi |
(7) 3/1(+25%) | (7) Ca Plane Pour Moi 3/1, Produced by far his best effort for this yard when third in a 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (24.4f, good) recently. Remains on a very attractive mark (some 23 lb lower compared to this time last year) and he has to enter calculations. 0-12 over hurdles but caught the eye when keeping-on third at Doncaster last month. |

(1) 7/2(-5%) | (1) Weaver's Answer 7/2, Has showed improved form for the addition of cheekpieces, running as well as ever back from a short break when runner-up at Lingfield (23f, soft) recently. Likely to be on the premises once again. Back on track with two good seconds this winter and can make his presence felt again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Faded Fantasy |
(6) 11/1(+31%) | (6) Faded Fantasy 11/1, No win since June 2023 and although he went close on first try over fences at Hereford in November, there hasn't been much to shout about since and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Yet to add to his 2023 maiden win and recent efforts were very underwhelming. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Just Go For It |
(2) 12/1(-20%) | (2) Just Go For It 12/1, Veteran performer who scored off this mark here 12 months ago and wasn't disgraced returned to this venue when fifth of 16 in January. However, she didn't get very far at Fontwell recently and others are preferred. Veteran mare; not at best this season but has conditions to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Moor End |
(3) 12/1(+0%) | (3) Moor End 12/1, Posted his best effort to date when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (19f, good to soft) on penultimate start. Slow ground perhaps wasn't ideal at Wincanton next time but his profile is somewhat up-and-down in any case. Creditable second over 2m3f in January but well held since and has stamina to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() De Vega's Warrior |
(9) 14/1(0%) | (9) De Vega's Warrior 14/1, A frustrating maiden on Flat. Promise in first-time cheekpieces when third of 11 (20.5f, Southwell) on handicap debut but let down by his hurdling at Fakenham (23.4f, good to soft) in January, Wasn't in quite the same form last time and he's opposable from a win point of view. Didn't fire last time but began handicap career with two encouraging thirds; a possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Only Gossip |
(4) 25/1(-56%) | (4) Only Gossip 25/1, Winning pointer who left previous Rules efforts well behind in a first-time hood when third in 21.4f novice at Wincanton at the end of January. Followed that with a heavy defeat at Huntingdon, though, and needs to raise her game now handicapping. Placed at 100-1 in a maiden in January but well beaten since; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Exmoor Lad |
(5) 33/1(+0%) | (5) Exmoor Lad 33/1, Showed a bit more than on his first 2 starts in this sphere when fifth in an 11-runner maiden here (19f, good to soft) in November 2023. However, his subsequent handicap debut back here was uninspiring. Struggled when 40-1 for handicap hurdle debut here (2m3f); tries a new trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Laddie Cooper Mia |
(8) 66/1(-136%) | (8) Laddie Cooper Mia 66/1, Shaped like a stayer in 3 bumpers and remote second of 4 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) on hurdles bow in November. However, she found no improvement for the switch to handicap company at Southwell last time. Cheekpieces applied. Unexposed over hurdles but was soundly beaten on handicap debut; new trip/headgear here. |
Having filled the runner-up spot on his last two outings, WEAVER'S ANSWER looks ready to strike. Tim Vaughan's charge finished 37 lengths clear of the third at Lingfield last time out and a 2lb nudge up in the ratings may prove inconsequential. Skin Full arrives on the back of a close-up second at Doncaster and he is unlikely to be far away with a similar performance, while Moor End is a possible threat if judged on his narrow defeat at Warwick in January.
SKIN FULL is potentially well handicapped and an obvious choice. Ca Plane Pour Moi and Weaver's Answer are others to consider.
Preference is for CA PLANE POUR MOI, who came from a long way off the pace to take third at Doncaster last month.

![]() Dish Of The Day |
(14) 9/2(+63%) | (14) Dish Of The Day 9/2, Yet to fire this term, pulling up over 3m at Uttoxeter when last seen on New Year's Eve. Drops in trip with cheekpieces added back from 10 weeks off. Hasn't shown much so far (tried over 2m7f last time); headgear now tried; hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Chicago Storm |
(3) 11/2(-120%) | (3) Chicago Storm 11/2, Landed a Dundalk claimer on final run for previous stable and caused a surprise back over hurdles for new yard winning a 17-runner handicap at Wincanton in January. Has backed that up with 2 creditable efforts around 2m since and player if stamina holds now stepping back up in trip., Ex-Irish; 10lb higher than when winning on stable debut but has an each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Sandscape |
(7) 6/1(+40%) | (7) Sandscape 6/1, Steady progress in maiden/novice hurdles but Sandown handicap debut in January was disappointing, pulling up. Early days but had to make a good case for. Second in a Wetherby novice in December; pulled up over 2m4f on h'cap debut; not out of it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Ted's Friend |
(8) 15/2(+25%) | (8) Ted's Friend 15/2, Dual hurdles winner but has run well below par the last twice, albeit 2m was on the short side last time and the handicapper has given him a chance. No surprise were he to go well. Below par last twice (soft); in fair form on better ground before that; worth considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Sambezi |
(6) 8/1(+0%) | (6) Sambezi 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler who took handicaps at Fontwell and Worcester in spring 2023 but has found life harder since, dropping away quickly back from a break at Warwick 17 days ago. Has won three times over hurdles; not as his best on last four starts; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Hors Jeu |
(2) 10/1(+64%) | (2) Hors Jeu 10/1, A fairly useful 17f hurdles winner in France last spring but he hasn't fired in 3 runs since coming to Britain. Can only watch at present. Winner in France last year; disappointing in three starts for new yard; others stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Storming Nelson |
(11) 12/1(+57%) | (11) Storming Nelson 12/1, Winner of an Exeter novice last January but has offered little in 6 subsequent handicap starts. Best to look elsewhere. 2m maiden hurdle winner in January 2024; very disappointing since; plenty to prove.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Get The Value |
(13) 14/1(-17%) | (13) Get The Value 14/1, Good second of 12 at Newton Abbot in July but pulled up back there the following month and not seen since. Might be best watched this time. Improved form when second on h'cap debut last July; pulled up next time and absent since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Wolfspear |
(1) 14/1(-100%) | (1) Wolfspear 14/1, Won twice from 4 starts last term (also second here) but not at his best this season. A bounce back is needed. Dual winner last season but hasn't run up to form this term; on a fair mark; bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Monsant |
(9) 16/1(+11%) | (9) Monsant 16/1, Fair form on first 2 outings back in 2023 but hasn't kicked on from that, including in 3 handicaps since joining Neil Mulholland. Ex-Irish; seven-race maiden; hasn't shown enough for new yard to suggest he can take this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Minella Double |
(4) 20/1(-25%) | (4) Minella Double 20/1, 40/1 winner of a handicap at Worcester (2½m, good) in August but hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 3 subsequent outings. This is his first run for 4 months. Worcester winner in August but pulled up when last seen out (November); may need the run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Miss Kassiopi |
(10) 20/1(-150%) | (10) Miss Kassiopi 20/1, Well held in bumpers but placed twice in ordinary maiden hurdles in the autumn. Well beaten back from a break at Lingfield 4 weeks ago but more chance now handicapping in first-time headgear. Unexposed; best run when 3rd in mares' maiden in October; player on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Lough Owel |
(5) 28/1(-40%) | (5) Lough Owel 28/1, Fair form at best for Gordon Elliott but ended time with that yard on a low note and well beaten on Worcester stable debut in September. Off since. Ex-G Elliott; won a point and shown promise in bumpers/hurdles; tailed off on stable debut. |
CHICAGO STORM has built up enough credit to suggest that a recent below-par effort over 2m at Warwick was no more than a blip and he would have very strong claims in this weak event if back on song. Wolfspear has slipped to a mark just 1lb above when he last won and he warrants respect for an in-form yard, while Miss Kassiopi and Dish Of The Day are also considered.
CHICAGO STORM's stamina isn't assured but he's made a fine start to life with Daisy Hitchins and gets the vote. Ted's Friend hasn't fired the last twice but is well treated if staging a revival.
Back on better ground and with headgear on for the first time MISS KASSIOPI is taken to get off the mark on her handicap debut.

![]() Havaila |
(2) 6/5(-125%) | (2) Havaila 6/5, Dual hurdles winner who found some improvement when opening his account at the fourth attempt in this sphere at Lingfield in January. Pulled hard when third in his follow-up bid back there (23.5f, heavy) less than a fortnight later and no surprise to see a first-time hood applied. Best with give in the ground although has form on good; interesting with a hood now tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() Basford |
(4) 13/8(+28%) | (4) Basford 13/8, Fair winner at 3m over hurdles. Has taken to fences quite well this season, second of 4 at Fakenham (29f) last month. Needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Market Rasen (27.6f, good) 6 days ago however, and first-time blinkers are given a whirl. 0-4 over fences, but won three good-ground hurdles; interesting in new heagear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() I See You Well |
(3) 10/3(+72%) | (3) I See You Well 10/3, Plenty of wins in a long career but losing run is mounting up and he's been tailed off all 3 starts this season. Six-time course winner; last win was December 2022; below-par this term; on a good mark. |
HAVAILA likes a stamina test and a first-time hood could be instrumental in the six-year-old doubling his tally over fences. Drying ground would be a slight concern, but the son of Le Havre otherwise holds a major chance off just 4lb higher for his Lingfield success in January. Basford ran a couple of nice races in defeat before a disappointing latest effort at Market Rasen and he looks the main threat, ahead of I See You Well.
Preference is for HAVAILA, who opened his account in this sphere at Lingfield on penultimate start and shaped as if still in good form despite pulling hard when third back there since. A first-time hood should help him settle and he can get the better of Basford, who has taken to fences quite well this season but needs to leave behind a below-par effort at Market Rasen last week.
Fitting a hood could be a good move for HAVAILA and he gets the vote ahead of Basford who also wears new headgear.

![]() Haafback |
(8) 16/1(+27%) | (8) Haafback 16/1, Made a winning chase debut at Ludlow in November but well beaten both completed starts since, including on first run following a wind op returned to the aforementioned course last month. 9 lb 'wrong' at the weights and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Disappointing since 20-1 Ludlow win in November and effectively 8lb above that mark here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) ![]() Siam Park |
11/8(+15%) | (5) Siam Park 11/8, Free-going sort who failed to improve for the switch to handicaps over hurdles but took a step forward when finding just one too good on his chase debut here (18.2f, soft) last month. Probably capable of better in this sphere and he's a strong candidate. Began chasing career with clear second here (2m2f) last month; only 2lb higher today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) ![]() No But I Will |
9/2(+55%) | (2) No But I Will 9/2, Fairly useful form at best over fences for previous yard and, equipped with a first-time visor (on again here), he posted much his best effort for present connections when fourth over 23f here last month. Down another 1 lb (now 10 lb below last winning mark) and this drop back in trip may help. Ran well from the front over 2m7f here last month; dropped sharply in trip today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) ![]() Abingworth |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Abingworth 15/2, Successful twice last season and there were signs that he could be working his way back to form at Windsor on penultimate start. However, he reverted to his error-strewn ways when eventually pulled up at Wincanton next time and is hard to recommend on the back of that display. Won here and at Wincanton last season but not much has gone to plan this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) ![]() My Rockstar |
5/1(-43%) | (6) My Rockstar 5/1, Doubled career tally when accounting for 12 rivals here (2¼, good to soft) in November. Ran no sort of a race at Exeter next time (pulled up) but then got back on track when second over this C&D. Each-way chance on that form but his overall profile is one of peaks and troughs, so there are risks. Won over 2m2f here in November and rebounded from poor run when second over C&D in January. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) ![]() Jaipaletemps |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Jaipaletemps 12/1, Won 3 claiming chases in France but low-key start for this yard in a novice hurdle here last month. Shaped a bit better returned to fences, despite finishing a well-held third, at Hereford (19f, soft) recently and since been eased 4 lb. 3-12 over fences in France but began British career with two 44l defeats last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) ![]() Blue Ribbon |
40/1(-21%) | (7) Blue Ribbon 40/1, Fair 2m hurdles winner for Dr Richard Newland in 2021. Largely struggled for present stable, though, and he looks set for another uphill climb from 6 lb out of the handicap here. Ran okay here two starts but pulled up either side of that; 6lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) ![]() Fast Buck |
9/1(-20%) | (1) Fast Buck 9/1, Now 17 lb lower than when striking at Wincanton last January and has made the frame on each of his last 4 starts. However, if this 11-y-o is to resume winning ways the addition of cheekpieces, which he'll be sporting for the first time over jumps, will need to help give him a boost. In the frame on last four outings but is not the force of old; cheekpieces tried today. |
SIAM PARK shaped with promise when finishing runner-up over 2m2f here last month and, eased in trip, he gets the nod to go one place better this time around. Course winner My Rockstar was last seen finishing second over this track and trip and he must enter calculations. Fast Buck is another to consider fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.
This should go to SIAM PARK, who put in a good round of jumping when runner-up on his chase debut here last month and improvement should be forthcoming. No But I Will took a step back in the right direction over 23f here last time and he could be a threat if able to build on that now dropped back in trip, while Jaipaletemps is likely to come good for the Pipe yard before long and he is worth a second look off a reduced mark.
This looks a good opportunity for SIAM PARK (nap), who was a good second here on last month's chasing debut.

![]() Missed Tee |
(8) 12/1(+70%) | (8) Missed Tee 12/1, Has reached the frame 4 times in hunters but pulled up at Taunton last time. In the frame in hunter chases, but pulled up in this race last year; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) ![]() Barton Snow |
5/2(+9%) | (1) Barton Snow 5/2, Modest in bumpers/over hurdles in Ireland but has won a couple of points for new connections ahead of this hunter debut. In good form since returning to points in November (121); stable won this two years ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) ![]() Viroflay |
11/8(-25%) | (7) Viroflay 11/8, Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in hunters in spring 2023 and prolific again in the pointing field since, including a wide-margin reappearance win at Larkhill last month. The one to beat. Record in points reads 21111131 and second in a novice hunter chase; likely to go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) ![]() Get Bye |
100/1(-150%) | (4) Get Bye 100/1, Modest hurdler/chaser for Tom George earlier in career. Consistent in points for current connections but pulled up on Warwick hunter debut in January. Pulled up in three of his four chasing starts; has a bit to prove. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) ![]() Bellaney Lord |
14/1(-17%) | (2) Bellaney Lord 14/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Stuart Crawford. Has won in the pointing field for current connections, including on latest start 15 days ago. Hunter debut. Dual point winner over 2m4f including last time; can't be dismissed after that performance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) ![]() Scoresby |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Scoresby 20/1, No show in bumpers/hurdles but 4 point wins since and in command when unseating latest. Hunter debut. Four point wins and should have made it five last time; this is harder. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) ![]() Caldwell Diamond |
11/2(+27%) | (3) Caldwell Diamond 11/2, Fairyhouse maiden hurdle winner for Gordon Elliot in November 2022. Struggled subsequently under Rules ran out the easy winner of a point for Alan Hill last spring. 11/1, unseated fifth on Ffos Las hunter debut last month. Winning hurdler and 1-1 in points; much respected at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) ![]() Go Sacre Go |
15/2(-50%) | (5) Go Sacre Go 15/2, Point winner who made an excellent return from a long absence when second on 25f Wincanton hunter debut at the end of January. Sure to go well if showing up in similar form. Runner-up in a hunter chase in January after a mammoth absence; could take some catching. |
This looks a trappy affair so only a tentative vote goes to VIROFLAY. He was last seen fairly bolting up in a point-to-point and commands the utmost respect back in this sphere. Go Sacre Go found only one rival too good over 3m1f at Wincanton last time out and he merits respect in a bid to go one place better, while Caldwell Diamond is another to consider.
VIROFLAY warmed up for this with an easy point win last month and can make it third time lucky in hunters. Go Sacre Go will be a threat if reproducing the form of his comeback second at Wincanton. Barton Snow may prove best of the rest.
Preference is for CALDWELL DIAMOND who earned an RPR of 126 when winning over hurdles for Gordon Elliott and who is 1-1 in points.

1st (1) ![]() Lumi Plugin |
11/4(+21%) | (1) Lumi Plugin 11/4, Runner-up both starts in maiden hurdles and has bettered that form in handicap hurdles, latest when not enjoying run of the race at this venue, third of 6 in handicap hurdle (25f, soft), having been well-backed. Seems versatile regards ground/trip and should run another big race back in distance. 0-8; two good runs in handicaps on last two starts; trip should suit; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) ![]() Smugglers Haven |
7/2(-75%) | (2) Smugglers Haven 7/2, Point winner showed improved form when successful on handicap debut at Hereford (19.7f, good) last month, having hung left. Followed up that victory when much straighter over C&D in November, making-all. Lightly-raced sort may do better still and is much respected in her bid for a hat-trick. Has improved since going handicapping, winning last two (good); back from a break; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) ![]() Two To Tango |
5/2(+44%) | (3) Two To Tango 5/2, Had placed on 6 of 8 hurdles starts and looked capable of running of winning a race at this level before a disappointing effort at Taunton last month when fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle (19f, soft). Has since had wind surgery and merits consideration if back on song. 0-11; several good runs this term (2nd over 2m3f in December); wind op since; place chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) ![]() A Tickatickatiming |
5/1(+17%) | (8) A Tickatickatiming 5/1, Course winner who comes here in good nick, third of 6 in 2m handicap here last month, showing she can still be a force in this sphere. Back up in trip and weighted to go well off a 2 lb lower mark. Bumper/hurdle winner here; best run for a while when third here last time; this stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) ![]() Brave Jen |
80/1(-60%) | (4) Brave Jen 80/1, Didn't need to improve to double tally in 5-runner handicap hurdle before being sold out of Tom Ellis' yard for £5,000. Subsequently struggled in a stronger race on stable debut when last of 8 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f) and has a bit prove now stepping back up in trip. Two wins for Tom Ellis; stays 2m4f; good going suits; below par on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) ![]() Roman Roy |
7/1(-75%) | (5) Roman Roy 7/1, Placed in bumpers and although his best effort in novice hurdles came at this venue, his finishing effort was found to be lacking when turned over at short odds in a 4-runner race. Ran even worse at Taunton last time (following second breathing operation) and others have a more convincing profile. Bumper 2nd; beaten at odds-on first two runs over hurdles; had two wind ops; h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) ![]() Gloire D'athon |
33/1(0%) | (6) Gloire D'athon 33/1, Prolific early in his chasing career (winning 5 of his first 6 starts) but has lost his way over fences and fared no better when pulled-up back over hurdles in December. Difficult to fancy on most recent evidence. Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; below form last year; well treated but plenty to prove. |
The still low-mileage SMUGGLERS HAVEN impressed when landing the second leg of a brace of wins with a smooth effort over C&D most recently and has strong credentials back fresh on the back of a break. Lumi Plugin has been knocking on the door of late and is another solid contender back in trip despite failing to justify favouritism over 3m2f here last month. Two To Tango completes the shortlist.
There's a couple in here who need to be ridden positively, and that could set the race up for the more patiently handled LUMI PLUGIN who has been knocking on the door of victory. Course-winner A Tickatickatiming merits plenty respect from her falling handicap mark, while Smugglers Haven remains of interest in her bid for a hat-trick. On first run since wind surgery, Two To Tango is also a player if bouncing back from a disappointing effort.
The choice is LUMI PLUGIN\ who has been placed over 1m7f and 3m1f on his last two starts and may well be ideally suited by this trip.

![]() Albert Park |
(2) 4/1(-33%) | (2) Albert Park 4/1, Fairly useful ex-Irish Flat maiden who has been brought along steadily over hurdles, finishing a creditable third in 16.5f Market Rasen handicap last June. Stiff track probably against him at Hexham later that month and could have a say round here if fully tuned-up following a break/wind op. Had wind surgery since last seen; interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (4) ![]() Whatmakes Honey B |
14/1(-56%) | (4) Whatmakes Honey B 14/1, Winless following 8 attempts in maiden points and has failed to pull up any trees a bumper and 3 runs over hurdles to date. That said she could be seen in a better light now venturing down the handicap route. Three-figure prices for four runs thus far; goes up in distance on her handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) ![]() Sevenofus |
12/1(+52%) | (7) Sevenofus 12/1, Still looking for first success following 21 starts overall and it's likely that she will again come up short. Course regular who does a lot of racing now over fences and remains winless. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) ![]() Mach Ten |
8/1(+43%) | (5) Mach Ten 8/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and bettered hurdles debut display when third of 6 in a Leicester maiden in December. However, he has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts, including on handicap debut last time. Not a natural but this is easier for a trainer who boasts a 4-14 record with hurdlers here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) ![]() Kintaro |
6/4(+57%) | (6) Kintaro 6/4, Ten-race maiden on the Flat and record stands at 0-9 in this sphere having finished sixth in a 14-runner handicap here (3m, good to soft) on latest start in January. Still, he has shown enough to suggest that a race of this nature may well be within his grasp off a mark such as this. Longstanding maiden; the handicapper's giving him every chance; needs plenty more. |

5th (3) ![]() Kap De Triomphe |
12/1(+40%) | (3) Kap De Triomphe 12/1, Fair bumper winner but yet to match that level of form in this sphere, failing to improve for the switch to handicap company on his last 2 starts. Achieved little in five runs (2m-3m1f); couldn't be considered unless there's good support. |

6th (1) ![]() Grenardier |
10/3(-122%) | (1) Grenardier 10/3, Little impact in a couple of bumpers but appears to be gradually getting the hang of things over hurdles, chasing home the long odds-on Vanderpoel in a Ludlow novice (15.8f, soft) last time. Improvement possible now upped in trip for this handicap debut. Slight step forward latest; has been found the ideal opening now handicapping. |
GRENARDIER lost little in defeat when finishing runner-up over 2m at Ludlow last time out and, in what looks an ordinary affair on paper, he gets the vote to make a winning start to life in handicaps. Albert Park has the ability to feature in a race of this nature and he looks the main danger to the selection, while Kintaro is another for the shortlist.
KINTARO probably found 3m too much of a test last time and is better judged on his C&D effort in November. He was in the process of running creditably when departing at the second-last here on that occasion and is now 7 lb lower in the weights. Handicap debutant Grenardier appears to be gradually finding his feet and rates the main danger ahead of another contesting a handicap for the first time, namely Whatmakes Honey B.
It's unlikely handicap newcomer GRENARDIER will be found a better opening. Mach Ten also has a bit of potential.

![]() Bella Bluesky |
(4) 16/1(-33%) | (4) Bella Bluesky 16/1, Off 9 months, likely needed the run when eighth of 10 on C&D reappearance 23 days ago. Should strip fitter now. Will need to improve plenty on her recent C&D comeback from nine months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) ![]() Market House |
1/2(+19%) | (1) Market House 1/2, Yet another to benefit from a switch to James Owen, striking at the second time of asking for his new trainer in a C&D handicap 6 days ago. Can follow up under a penalty. Another to improve for a switch to this yard; found the ideal opening under a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) ![]() Night Bear |
7/1(-17%) | (3) Night Bear 7/1, Turf win at Brighton last summer but has performed only respectably on AW this winter. Boasts a poor strike-rate on the AW and isn't as good now but remains consistent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) ![]() Flying Scotsman |
3/1(+25%) | (2) Flying Scotsman 3/1, C&D winner in January. 9/2, creditable 4¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Market House over C&D 6 days ago. Should get closer to that rival on the revised terms. Well held behind Market House here last Tuesday; a 5lb swing entitles him to close the gap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) ![]() On The Bubble |
125/1(-150%) | (5) On The Bubble 125/1, 50/1, first run since leaving Ben Haslam when tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (1m) 18 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Offered little on his recent comeback here for new connections and goes right up in trip. |
MARKET HOUSE showed a likeable attitude when scoring over this track and trip last week and he should be tough to stop with a repeat of that effort, for all that a 5lb penalty requires more. C&D winner Flying Scotsman looks the main danger to the selection although he was fourth behind the selection last time and he has a bit to find. Night Bear looks the pick of the remainder.
MARKET HOUSE can make light of 5 lb penalty for last Tuesday's C&D win. Flying Scotsman was over 4 lengths back in fourth on that occasion but can get closer on the revised terms and give James Owen's charge most to do.
It's hard to get away from last Tuesday's C&D winner MARKET HOUSE under the penalty, with Night Bear fancied to chase him home.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
