15 7th (15) (40/1 -21%) Whatsnotoknow	40 40/1(-21%)	(15) Whatsnotoknow 40/1, Arrives on a long losing run, but he put up his best effort of the season when fourth of 24 in 3m handicap at Leopardstown last month. Needs another step forward to get back to winning ways here.

5 2nd (5) (12/1 +0%) Janidil	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Janidil 12/1, Smart hurdler who landed Grade 1 novice chase at Fairyhouse on final start last spring. Hard to knock consistency in trio of starts this campaign but may have to settle for a minor role once more.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 +13%) Eldorado Allen	14 14/1(+13%)	(3) Eldorado Allen 14/1, Has taken his form up a notch this term, bagging Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter and best effort yet when taking Gr 2 Denman Chase at Newbury (23.4f) in February. Holds each-way claims.

9 6th (9) (10/1 +0%) Shan Blue	10 10/1(+0%)	(9) Shan Blue 10/1, Landed Grade 1 Kauto Star as a novice and in process of delivering a most visually impressive performance when falling 3 out in Charlie Hall in October. Absent since but he's fascinating nevertheless.
2 \|F\| (2) (7/1 -8%) Conflated	7 7/1(-8%)	(2) Conflated 7/1, Smart effort when landing 2½m Naas handicap and stepped up again to land Irish Gold Cup from Minella Indo in February. Overall strength of that form questionable but good showing likely back in trip.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (9/1 -157%) Dubai Devils	9 9/1(-157%)	(1) Dubai Devils 9/1, Irish raider who has largely performed with credit since notching second chase success at Fairyhouse last season. High enough in the weights but this stamina test promises to be right up his street.
8 2nd (8) (4/1 -20%) Morozov Cocktail	4 4/1(-20%)	(8) Morozov Cocktail 4/1, Off the mark in a 3m novices' handicap chase at Wetherby on Boxing Day, but he's not the most reliable of types and connections now reach for blinkers following a poor recent effort at Carlisle.
9 3rd (9) (2.25/1 +75%) Dequall	2.25 2.25/1(+75%)	(9) Dequall 2.25/1, Multiple hurdles winner who arrives here on the back of a string of creditable efforts in that sphere. However, he didn't look a natural in 2 starts over fences during the winter.
7 4th (7) (10/1 -33%) Prince Dundee	10 10/1(-33%)	(7) Prince Dundee 10/1, Went close over C&D in November and also found just one too good at Kelso either side of that. Latest effort a write-off (brought down) and big player back here (all 3 career wins gained at Hexham).
10 5th (10) (16/1 +36%) Grey Atlantic Way	16 16/1(+36%)	(10) Grey Atlantic Way 16/1, Finally got off the mark when bagging a 27f handicap chase at Sedgefield in October. That's his sole success from 35 starts overall, though, and he's 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights here.
4 \|F\| (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Alkopop	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(4) Alkopop 3.5/1, Progressive hurdler last winter and opened chase account in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (21.6f) recently. 5 lb rise fair enough and he shapes as though well worth a crack at this marathon trip.
6 \|PU\| (6) (8.5/1 +23%) Behindthelines	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(6) Behindthelines 8.5/1, On a good mark judged on peak form in this sphere, but record stands at 0-7 over fences following a low-key display at Carlisle last time. Now tried in a visor.
2 \|PU\| (2) (20/1 -208%) Another Emotion	20 20/1(-208%)	(2) Another Emotion 20/1, Looked better than ever when signing off last season with a decisive victory at Carlisle. Back to form with blinkers refitted when runner-up at Hereford (25.2f) recently and he's not without hope.
11 \|PU\| (11) (25/1 +50%) Nakadam	25 25/1(+50%)	(11) Nakadam 25/1, Latest success was registered over this C&D, but that was back in November 2019 and the majority of his subsequent efforts have been poor.
5 \|PU\| (5) (40/1 -60%) Seaston Spirit	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Seaston Spirit 40/1, Now 10 lb lower than for his Sussex National success at Plumpton (28.4f) last January, but it's been a struggle this season and hopes pinned on the first-time visor sparking a revival here.

9 2nd (9) (5.5/1 -22%) Thyme Hill	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(9) Thyme Hill 5.5/1, Good record over hurdles, impressing with attitude when landing Gr1 Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree in April. Good second behind Champ in Long Walk in December and he arrives here fresh. Respected.
7 3rd (7) (8.5/1 -6%) Paisley Park	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(7) Paisley Park 8.5/1, High-class hurdler who won this in 2019 and confirmed himself no back number when gaining third Cleeve Hurdle victory from Champ in January. Slow start evident again then a worry, but he's respected.
1 4th (1) (5.5/1 -10%) Champ	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(1) Champ 5.5/1, RSA Chase winner in 2020 who proved he remains equally effective over timber when winning the Long Walk on return. Creditable second behind resurgent Paisley Park in Cleeve since and not discounted.
4 5th (4) (2.75/1 +31%) Klassical Dream	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(4) Klassical Dream 2.75/1, High-class hurdler who landed 2019 Supreme and registered pair of Grade 1s 8 months apart last year, beating Flooring Porter at Leopardstown over Christmas. Below par latest but type to bounce back.
3 6th (3) (33/1 +18%) Home By The Lee	33 33/1(+18%)	(3) Home By The Lee 33/1, Smart handicap chaser who is unexposed as a staying hurdler and pulled clear of remainder when runner-up to Royal Kahala in Gr 2 Galmoy Hurdle (24.4f) latest. Still, this demands a whole lot more.
5 7th (5) (100/1 -25%) Koshari	100 100/1(-25%)	(5) Koshari 100/1, Smart on his day and ran right up to his best when running out an 80/1 winner of an Aintree handicap (24.7f) on yard debut in November. However, likely to fall short in this much stronger contest.
10 8th (10) (5.5/1 +8%) Royal Kahala	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(10) Royal Kahala 5.5/1, Low-mileage, improving mare who added to her Leopardstown Gr 3 success when taking Gr 2 Galmoy Hurdle (24.4f) in January. Could have more to offer at this trip and any easing of ground will help.
8 9th (8) (33/1 +0%) Song For Someone	33 33/1(+0%)	(8) Song For Someone 33/1, Very smart hurdler who bounced back to best to finish placed in pair of Grade 2s since returning this winter. Latest Sandown run in February most disappointing, though, and likely to fall short here.

3 1st (3) (0.62/1 +44%) Luke	0.62 0.62/1(+44%)	(3) Luke 0.62/1, Plenty of promise sole start in bumpers and better with each start over hurdles, staying on for second in a Market Rasen novice (20.6f) last month. Big player here with prospect of more to come.
1 2nd (1) (1.62/1 -62%) Camdonian	1.62 1.62/1(-62%)	(1) Camdonian 1.62/1, Shantou gelding who produced a promising first effort when second in a 19.4f Chepstow maiden in November. Not in same form when last of 3 on return at Warwick last month but still type to do better.
6 3rd (6) (28/1 -100%) Roan	28 28/1(-100%)	(6) Roan 28/1, Showed some promise on his sole outing in bumpers but went backwards from that sent hurdling when well held at Newcastle (20.3f) early last month.
5 4th (5) (22/1 +21%) Mauritian Bolt	22 22/1(+21%)	(5) Mauritian Bolt 22/1, Some promise when third in a 2m novice here back in April but not matched that level since, last of 10 in a Haydock handicap (3m) in December. Back from a break/wind operation now.
2 5th (2) (25/1 +38%) Goodoldbill	25 25/1(+38%)	(2) Goodoldbill 25/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Leading Light gelding. Dam 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner. Likely best watched on racecourse bow.
7 6th (7) (50/1 -52%) Redesdale Angel	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Redesdale Angel 50/1, Well beaten in bumpers and similarly little in the way of short-term promise in a couple of mares' novice hurdles in recent months. Likely type for low-grade handicaps.
4 7th (4) (125/1 +38%) Master Alan	125 125/1(+38%)	(4) Master Alan 125/1, From a family which has produced winners for this yard but has made no impact in trio of hurdle outings spread over 10 months, latterly when pulled up at Kelso (22.7f) in December. Had wind op.

5 2nd (5) (2/1 +20%) Big Debates	2 2/1(+20%)	(5) Big Debates 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 3 wins from 7 runs this season. 16/1, below form sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 26 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and he's a big player.
4 3rd (4) (12/1 +25%) La Chanteuse	12 12/1(+25%)	(4) La Chanteuse 12/1, Reluctant individual. 12/1, last of 10 in handicap chase at Navan (20f, soft) 12 days ago. Hard to warm to on the back of that display.
2 4th (2) (8/1 -100%) Daphne Moon	8 8/1(-100%)	(2) Daphne Moon 8/1, Fairly useful chaser. Fourth of 6 in novice chase (80/1) at Thurles (22f, soft) 21 days ago. That was a fair effort but one or two of these are more appealing.
3 5th (3) (2/1 +20%) Railway Hurricane	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) Railway Hurricane 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Second of 4 in handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, soft, 4/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's high on the shortlist.
7 6th (7) (18/1 +55%) Young Jack Yates	18 18/1(+55%)	(7) Young Jack Yates 18/1, Fair chaser. 22/1, fourth of 7 in novice chase at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft) on debut over fences 10 days ago. Sizeable step forward required.

Form	Odds	Runs
17 (17) (22/1 -22%) Fancy Foundations	22 22/1(-22%)	(17) Fancy Foundations 22/1, Won first couple of starts over fences but below-par fifth of 8 in minor event chase when last seen at Navan 3 months ago, so needs to get back on track. Another handicap debutant for Gordon Elliott.
8 1st (8) (22/1 +12%) Coole Cody	22 22/1(+12%)	(8) Coole Cody 22/1, Tough front runner who has bagged a couple of similar events around here, including Racing Post Gold Cup in December. Not at his best on last couple of starts but impossible to discount.
4 2nd (4) (3.5/1 +36%) Imperial Alcazar	3.5 3.5/1(+36%)	(4) Imperial Alcazar 3.5/1, Very useful hurdler who jumped much better than previously when opening his account in this sphere over C&D on Trials Day. Up 8 lb for that success but there's every chance he will be in the mix.
18 3rd (18) (12/1 +25%) Spiritofthegames	12 12/1(+25%)	(18) Spiritofthegames 12/1, Regular in competitive handicaps and finished with running left when mid-field in the Paddy Power here. Back on track last time after a couple of below-par efforts so certainly not dismissed off 136.
11 4th (11) (18/1 +18%) Stolen Silver	18 18/1(+18%)	(11) Stolen Silver 18/1, Made an excellent start for this yard, scoring at Market Rasen in October before an excellent second here next time. Not dismissed having finished with running left when third at Wincanton last time.
14 5th (14) (4/1 +20%) Celebre D'allen	4 4/1(+20%)	(14) Celebre D'allen 4/1, Off 2 years but stylish winner of two Haydock handicap hurdles for his current yard in December. Completed hat-trick on his first start over fences in Britain last time so rates a leading player.
19 6th (19) (40/1 -21%) Slate House	40 40/1(-21%)	(19) Slate House 40/1, Stopped the slide at in blinkers when runner-up at Wincanton and filled that same spot next start at Taunton. However finished a disappointing fourth at Ludlow recently and so has plenty to prove.
13 7th (13) (4/1 +0%) The Glancing Queen	4 4/1(+0%)	(13) The Glancing Queen 4/1, Likeable mare who has impressed over fences this term, making it 2-2 in a listed mares' event at Warwick in December. Unable to live with L'Homme Presse in Dipper last time but this more suitable.
9 8th (9) (33/1 +18%) Schiehallion Munro	33 33/1(+18%)	(9) Schiehallion Munro 33/1, Likeable sort who confirmed the promise of his reappearance when winning at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Followed up on the back of a 4 lb rise there last month but this is much more competitive.
15 9th (15) (7/1 +56%) Adrimel	7 7/1(+56%)	(15) Adrimel 7/1, Grade 2 winning hurdler last season and seemingly revitalised in blinkers recently, scoring in small-field events at Haydock the last twice. This much more competitive but certainly not ruled out.
16 10th (16) (66/1 +0%) Born By The Sea	66 66/1(+0%)	(16) Born By The Sea 66/1, Doubled his tally over fences at Galway in July but unsuited by the marked drop in trip after 3 months off at Leopardstown on Boxing Day. Off since and percentage call is to look elsewhere.
20 11th (20) (100/1 -52%) Fire Away	100 100/1(-52%)	(20) Fire Away 100/1, Useful chaser who has a terrific strike rate since joining this stable, winning 5 times. Probably needed the run on Newcastle return last month and a career-best is required in a first-time visor.
10 \|PU\| (10) (5.5/1 +31%) Grand Paradis	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(10) Grand Paradis 5.5/1, Dual winner over hurdles and he's taken well to fences, making a third-placed effort in a row at Gowran last month. 1 of 3 for Gordon Elliott so warrants considerable respect on handicap debut.
21 \|PU\| (21) (28/1 +30%) Chinwag	28 28/1(+30%)	(21) Chinwag 28/1, Largely progressive over hurdles and confirmed chase debut promise when winning at Ffos Las in November. Quickly resumed his progressive ways to score at Plumpton recently and it remains early days.
6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 +0%) Wishing And Hoping	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Wishing And Hoping 40/1, Sound-jumping front runner who bagged Worcester hunter and Aintree handicap this term. Better than ever when runner-up at Warwick last month but not featured in anything so competitive before.
1 \|PU\| (1) (50/1 -25%) Hardline	50 50/1(-25%)	(1) Hardline 50/1, It's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2018, but he did take a step back in the right direction when runner-up in Grade 2 at Gowran last month. No forlorn hope with cheekpieces applied.

8 6th (8) (50/1 -25%) Annakonda	50 50/1(-25%)	(8) Annakonda 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when sixth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (7f, 33/1) 50 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time with more required.
9 7th (9) (8/1 +0%) Will He Dance	8 8/1(+0%)	(9) Will He Dance 8/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time when very good second of 10 in minor event at this C&D (8/1) 7 days ago, best work finish. Not taken lightly.

2 2nd (2) (12/1 -50%) Moonlight Glory	12 12/1(-50%)	(2) Moonlight Glory 12/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles in Ireland and offered encouragement on occasions over fences. Debuts for an in-form stable after 165 days off, so could be worth chancing.
6 3rd (6) (6.5/1 -18%) Mah Mate Bob	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(6) Mah Mate Bob 6.5/1, Down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Musselburgh 15 days ago. Blinkers now fitted, so could put up a bold bid from the front in a weak race.
11 4th (11) (22/1 +33%) Westdante	22 22/1(+33%)	(11) Westdante 22/1, Modest form at best and pulled up both outings this season, back over hurdles at Wetherby on latest occasion. Plenty to prove with cheekpieces fitted.
5 5th (5) (7/1 -56%) Loughermore	7 7/1(-56%)	(5) Loughermore 7/1, Down the weights and has looked back in some sort of form the over hurdles the last twice, sixth at Carlisle recently. Not discounted on just his second run over fences.
1 6th (1) (14/1 -27%) Wavelength	14 14/1(-27%)	(1) Wavelength 14/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Has an unconvincing chase record and jumping lacked fluency back over hurdles on stable debut at Carlisle 24 days ago. Others preferred.
12 7th (12) (22/1 -38%) Choctaw Brave	22 22/1(-38%)	(12) Choctaw Brave 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler/chaser. Running best race when fell 4 out at Ayr a month ago, but he needs more if he's to gain his first success.
8 8th (8) (16/1 +0%) Graystown	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Graystown 16/1, Scored here in October and, while he's generally been out of sorts subsequently, return to this track and refitting of blinkers should help. Not completely dismissed.
3 9th (3) (22/1 +12%) Mackie Dee	22 22/1(+12%)	(3) Mackie Dee 22/1, Below best for the bulk of this season and was pulled up at Sedgefield only 11 days ago, so not easy to make a case for.
4 \|U\| (4) (66/1 -65%) Henry Brown	66 66/1(-65%)	(4) Henry Brown 66/1, More miss than hit over fences for Noel Meade and didn't offer much more encouragement starting out for this stable at Sedgefield 36 days ago.
7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 -29%) Skyhill	9 9/1(-29%)	(7) Skyhill 9/1, Saw off Gypsy Lee Rose to resume winning ways at Carlisle in February but couldn't quite back it up at the same course 17 days later. Looks vulnerable.
10 \|PU\| (10) (16/1 -78%) Mymilan	16 16/1(-78%)	(10) Mymilan 16/1, Poor handicap chaser who can't be relied upon, so it's quite easy to look elsewhere.
13 \|PU\| (13) (22/1 +45%) African Glory	22 22/1(+45%)	(13) African Glory 22/1, Limited hurdler who has been out of sort in that sphere. Hard to recommend from out of the weights on handicap debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (7.5/1 +38%) Love Envoi	7.5 7.5/1(+38%)	(2) Love Envoi 7.5/1, Wexford bumper winner who overcame a late blunder to make it 4-4 over hurdles in Grade 2 Jane Seymour at Sandown (19.8f) 4 weeks ago. Has a 5 lb penalty to carry but remains one to be positive about.
8 2nd (8) (50/1 +38%) Ahorsewithnoname	50 50/1(+38%)	(8) Ahorsewithnoname 50/1, Fairly useful on the Flat and has matched that form over hurdles, for all she's raced 5 times without success. Hard to see her getting seriously involved at this level.
12 3rd (12) (6.5/1 +35%) Grangee	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(12) Grangee 6.5/1, Useful in bumpers, winning 3 times, and made the most of a good opportunity on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse. Solid fourth in Leopardstown Grade 1 and running well when falling 2 out in Solerina latest.
19 4th (19) (14/1 +30%) Nurse Susan	14 14/1(+30%)	(19) Nurse Susan 14/1, Created an excellent impression when winning her first 2 starts with plenty in hand and showed even better form in defeat when second to Love Envoi at Lingfield (2m) last time. Can go on improving.
9 5th (9) (125/1 -56%) Braganza	125 125/1(-56%)	(9) Braganza 125/1, Showed more temperament than ability on Flat debut in 2017 but superbly prepared after nearly 4 years off when making hurdling debut at Thurles. Failed to see race out upped in grade twice since.
1 6th (1) (22/1 -38%) Impervious	22 22/1(-38%)	(1) Impervious 22/1, Strong at the finish when making it 3-3 over hurdles in Grade 3 at Down Royal (16.8f) in October. Unsuited by emphasis on speed in Royal Bond won by Statuaire since, so well worth another chance.
3 7th (3) (5.5/1 +27%) Party Central	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(3) Party Central 5.5/1, Dual-bumper winner who is very much going the right way over hurdles, following up her listed success at Punchestown on handicap debut at Leopardstown (17.7f). Open to further improvement.
15 8th (15) (14/1 +13%) Hors Piste	14 14/1(+13%)	(15) Hors Piste 14/1, Didn't need to improve to make her second start for this yard a winning one at Clonmel (18.9f) 4 weeks ago. That was a weak race but she did it easily and is open to further improvement up in grade.
11 9th (11) (1.38/1 +39%) Dinoblue	1.38 1.38/1(+39%)	(11) Dinoblue 1.38/1, Doctor Dino mare who looked an excellent prospect when drawing clear for minimal assistance to score by 15 lengths on debut at Clonmel (16.8f) in January. Type to make significant improvement. Player.
4 10th (4) (28/1 -27%) Statuaire	28 28/1(-27%)	(4) Statuaire 28/1, Improved again when completing a hat-trick for this yard in Grade 1 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse in November, staying on to lead on line. Well beaten tried in a hood at Leopardstown but can bounce back.
14 11th (14) (200/1 +0%) Hidden Land	200 200/1(+0%)	(14) Hidden Land 200/1, Big-priced winner on hurdles debut in July but that level well short of what is required here and she hasn't matched that since. AW scorer in February but looks out of her depth.
16 12th (16) (125/1 +17%) Mayhem Mya	125 125/1(+17%)	(16) Mayhem Mya 125/1, Dual-bumper winner who confirmed hurdling debut promise when wide-margin winner at Chepstow (2m) in January. Not disgraced behind Love Envoi at Lingfield and now tongue tied. Much more needed.
13 13th (13) (33/1 -18%) Heia	33 33/1(-18%)	(13) Heia 33/1, French bumper winner who was given a considerate introduction on hurdles debut in December and she looked a nice prospect when a ready scorer back at 2m last month. Limit not yet reached.
6 14th (6) (50/1 -52%) Nina The Terrier	50 50/1(-52%)	(6) Nina The Terrier 50/1, Completed a hat-trick over hurdles in novice company at Newbury in December, but had her limitations exposed when only third of 6 to Love Envoi in Jane Seymour last time.
7 15th (7) (100/1 +33%) Tweed Skirt	100 100/1(+33%)	(7) Tweed Skirt 100/1, Fair bumper winner and made second hurdles outing a successful one at Ascot in November. That form is ordinary, and while this trip more suitable than 20.5f last time, she's up against it.
5 16th (5) (33/1 +0%) Choice Of Words	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Choice Of Words 33/1, Progressive in bumpers and ran to a fairly useful level in making a winning start over hurdles at Galway. Has matched rather than bettered that form since but she's not without each-way hope.
17 17th (17) (16/1 +27%) Mighty Blue	16 16/1(+27%)	(17) Mighty Blue 16/1, Listed winner on the level in May so clearly possesses the raw ability to be a big factor at this level. Looked booked for second when unseating rider at Naas last month. Usual hood left off.
18 18th (18) (150/1 +25%) Monishter Are Mwee	150 150/1(+25%)	(18) Monishter Are Mwee 150/1, Surpassed bumper form when making second hurdles outing a winning one at Clonmel in October. Better form in defeat since but merit now established as a notch below this.
21 \|PU\| (21) (150/1 -50%) The Player Queen	150 150/1(-50%)	(21) The Player Queen 150/1, Point/bumper winner who built on earlier promise when doubling hurdles tally in 5-runner novice at Musselburgh last month, responding well. Can do better again but has plenty to find at this level.

8 8th (8) (40/1 +60%) Moonlit Warrior	40 40/1(+60%)	(8) Moonlit Warrior 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, good). Off 139 days and big step forward will be needed if he's to make an impact.

9 2nd (9) (10/1 +60%) Fame And Hope	10 10/1(+60%)	(9) Fame And Hope 10/1, Maiden hurdler. Second in a C&D handicap in December but hasn't come close to reproducing that since.
7 3rd (7) (40/1 -21%) Up With The Play	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Up With The Play 40/1, Fair maiden on the Flat in Ireland. Limited impact over hurdles, including for this yard but does shape as though worth a go at this trip.
5 4th (5) (12/1 -41%) Wotsmyname	12 12/1(-41%)	(5) Wotsmyname 12/1, Maiden who ran up to form despite looking a tricky ride when fifth at Newcastle last week. Application of headgear looks a good move and he now goes up in trip.
11 5th (11) (150/1 -50%) Dorothy's Flame	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Dorothy's Flame 150/1, Long-standing maiden who remains easy to oppose.

4 8th (4) (5/1 +0%) Torngat	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Torngat 5/1, Failed to improve on first start in handicaps when mid-field at Wetherby but back on track without convincing in relation to the return to 25f when eighth at Carlisle next time. More needed.

11 2nd (11) (5/1 +69%) Mister Coffey	5 5/1(+69%)	(11) Mister Coffey 5/1, Progressed into useful hurdler last term. Similar form in 3 chases at up to 2½m this winter (well-held second in Grade 1 latest). Still has room for improvement in jumping but interesting up in trip.
25 3rd (25) (66/1 -32%) Didero Vallis	66 66/1(-32%)	(25) Didero Vallis 66/1, Useful chaser who ran well when second in handicap at Ludlow (3m) in December but hasn't fired since, including at Sandown last week. Blinkered first time.
2 4th (2) (28/1 +0%) Fakir D'alene	28 28/1(+0%)	(2) Fakir D'alene 28/1, Disappointed in a valuable handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival but he'd looked progressive when winning a maiden and handicap prior to that. No surprise to see him bounce back.
16 5th (16) (40/1 -21%) Mint Condition	40 40/1(-21%)	(16) Mint Condition 40/1, Three-time hurdle winner and Haydock win in December shows he's equally as good over fences. However, he did run poorly when pitched into a competitive handicap last time. Cheekpieces go on now.
9 6th (9) (9/1 -13%) Mister Fogpatches	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) Mister Fogpatches 9/1, Punchestown winner last spring. Another solid effort in a competitive handicap when third of 18 in the Thyestes at Gowran last time. Should give another good account.
22 7th (22) (18/1 +10%) Rightplacerightime	18 18/1(+10%)	(22) Rightplacerightime 18/1, Won 3m Fairyhouse maiden in November. Good second in handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival in February. Let down by jumping in chase there last time but yard's runners here always respected.
8 8th (8) (14/1 -27%) Smoking Gun	14 14/1(-27%)	(8) Smoking Gun 14/1, Landed a nice prize at Fairyhouse in November and bounced back from a poor run in the Thyestes when third back at Fairyhouse last month.
23 9th (23) (50/1 -25%) Powerstown Park	50 50/1(-25%)	(23) Powerstown Park 50/1, Quickly resumed progress when notching a second win of the season at Hereford 45 days ago. A lot to like about how he did things on that occasion and should remain very competitive after a 6 lb rise.
13 \|F\| (13) (66/1 -65%) Mindsmadeup	66 66/1(-65%)	(13) Mindsmadeup 66/1, Resumed winning ways back chasing at Down Royal in October and bettered that when second of 13 over 25f here in November. That form has worked out well but he is 7 lb higher back from a break.
7 \|U\| (7) (50/1 +0%) Elegant Escape	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Elegant Escape 50/1, Welsh National winner in 2018. Proved he retains a useful level of ability when third at Taunton in January but pulled up in a veterans' event at Exeter since.
18 10th (18) (16/1 -33%) Glenloe	16 16/1(-33%)	(18) Glenloe 16/1, Close second in Pertemps Hurdle at 2018 Festival. Only respectable third when warm favourite for 23f Punchestown handicap chase under Derek O'Connor in January but still no surprise if he goes well.
10 11th (10) (66/1 -32%) Almazhar Garde	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Almazhar Garde 66/1, Profile is starting to look rather patchy, but he's capable when on-song, including chasing home Omar Maretti at Catterick (25f) latest. Well held in this last year. Blinkers replace cheekpieces.
5 12th (5) (22/1 +0%) Cat Tiger	22 22/1(+0%)	(5) Cat Tiger 22/1, Classy chaser who recorded a career best when edging ahead late on in 3m Ascot handicap in January. 6 lb rise means another career best will be needed if he's to follow up.
3 13th (3) (6/1 +29%) Ain't That A Shame	6 6/1(+29%)	(3) Ain't That A Shame 6/1, Maiden hurdle winner last season and better form (smart) when placed on all 3 starts in maiden chases this term. Good chance there's more to come now handicapping. High on the shortlist.
6 \|PU\| (6) (5/1 +17%) School Boy Hours	5 5/1(+17%)	(6) School Boy Hours 5/1, Finally put it all together and got off the mark over fences on return at Christmas, landing red-hot 28-runner 3m Punchestown handicap from Ben Dundee, jumping better. Clearly dangerous.
1 \|PU\| (1) (5.5/1 +15%) Frontal Assault	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(1) Frontal Assault 5.5/1, Allotted his handicap mark over fences based on 3 starts at up to 21.5f and leaves the firm impression he'll have more to offer in this sphere now stepping up to 3m+. Obvious claims.
14 \|PU\| (14) (9/1 +25%) Come On Teddy	9 9/1(+25%)	(14) Come On Teddy 9/1, Useful staying handicap hurdler who made perfect start over fences at Uttoxeter (2½m) in December. Pulled up in Grade 2 Dipper here on New Year's Day but back on track when second at Newcastle since.

6 2nd (6) (0.83/1 +75%) Your Place	0.83 0.83/1(+75%)	(6) Your Place 0.83/1, Still a maiden, but appears to be coming to the boil, finding only one too good in 13-runner event at Ayr a month ago. Should be thereabouts again.
10 3rd (10) (6.5/1 +74%) Kilcaragh Boy	6.5 6.5/1(+74%)	(10) Kilcaragh Boy 6.5/1, Limited sort who performed as well as could have been expected when third at Market Rasen 37 days ago. Out of the weights once more, and he's an infrequent winner.
9 4th (9) (12/1 +64%) Our Cilla	12 12/1(+64%)	(9) Our Cilla 12/1, Poor maiden handicap hurdler who was well held when last seen at Southwell 8 months ago. Others preferred.
4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +44%) Loch Linnhe	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(4) Loch Linnhe 4.5/1, Lightly raced and no great encouragement since landing a handicap chase at Southwell (3m) in spring 2019, so plenty to prove returning to the smaller obstacles.
3 6th (3) (22/1 +12%) The Black Squirrel	22 22/1(+12%)	(3) The Black Squirrel 22/1, Modest handicap hurdler who went with no encouragement (pulled up) returning from a year-long absence at Catterick 16 days ago. Hard to make a case for.
2 7th (2) (11/1 -57%) Khamsin Moor	11 11/1(-57%)	(2) Khamsin Moor 11/1, Well held sole outing in bumpers. Modest form at best in a trio of hurdling outings and has lengthy absence to overcome, but longer trip should play to his strengths on handicap debut.

1 6th (1) (14/1 +22%) Brompton Park	14 14/1(+22%)	(1) Brompton Park 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in bumper (10/1) at Ayr (16f, heavy) 67 days ago, needing stiffer test. Slight step up in trip should help.

10 3rd (10) (8/1 -7%) The Game Of Life	8 8/1(-7%)	(10) The Game Of Life 8/1, Modest gelding. Good ½-length third of 13 to Royal Heart in handicap (17/2) at Kempton (7f) 8 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Others more persuasive.

3 6th (3) (80/1 -186%) Eminent Angel	80 80/1(-186%)	(3) Eminent Angel 80/1, Dark Angel half-sister to winner up to 7f Luxor. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to high-class 5f/6f winner Reverence. Makes appeal on paper so interesting what the market makes of her here.
2 7th (2) (125/1 -346%) Clement Danes	125 125/1(-346%)	(2) Clement Danes 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 8/1, went bacwards from debut when sixth of 7 in minor event at this course (6.1f) 10 days ago, dropping away 2f out. Likely type for later on/over longer trips.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

19:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (5.5/1 +8%) Ingra Tor	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(4) Ingra Tor 5.5/1, 11/2, ninth of 12 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut in October but the fact he was quite prominent in the betting suggests better was anticipated.
1 2nd (1) (1.75/1 +22%) Palifico	1.75 1.75/1(+22%)	(1) Palifico 1.75/1, Fairly useful form. Two good runner-up efforts for this yard since coming over from Ireland and every chance of going one better now.
2 3rd (2) (1.75/1 +0%) Cityjet	1.75 1.75/1(+0%)	(2) Cityjet 1.75/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 6 in novice at Wolverhampton (6f, 9/4) 17 days ago. Hood added. Ought to go well.
9 4th (9) (150/1 +0%) Theoretical	150 150/1(+0%)	(9) Theoretical 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, well-held fourth of 7 in novice at this course (5f) 12 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Lot more will be needed.
8 5th (8) (33/1 -175%) Rumailah	33 33/1(-175%)	(8) Rumailah 33/1, Kitten's Joy filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Chillsea. Betting should guide to expectations for this newcomer from a good stable.
6 6th (6) (4/1 -14%) Brides Bay	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Brides Bay 4/1, Fair maiden. 11/8, respectable third of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (6f) on reappearance 10 days ago, never nearer. Should be thereabouts again.
5 7th (5) (20/1 -82%) Bluebird	20 20/1(-82%)	(5) Bluebird 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, still looked green when third of 6 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 39 days ago. Likely she has more to offer.
3 8th (3) (200/1 -33%) Fra Angelico	200 200/1(-33%)	(3) Fra Angelico 200/1, Well held in 2 runs at Wolverhampton in recent weeks and looks more one for handicaps.
7 9th (7) (150/1 +0%) Ruby Ruby	150 150/1(+0%)	(7) Ruby Ruby 150/1, From a leading yard but has finished last in 2 runs over 7f here.

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (1.88/1 +32%) Fountain Cross	1.88 1.88/1(+32%)	(5) Fountain Cross 1.88/1, 4/1, won 11-runner C&D handicap last weekend but will need a bit more if he's to overcome a 5 lb penalty in this better race.
1 2nd (1) (3/1 +75%) Dawaam	3 3/1(+75%)	(1) Dawaam 3/1, Course winner for Owen Burrows who is back in Britain after a handul of runs in Bahrain for new trainer George Baker this winter. Fairly treated on best form and has James Doyle up. Check betting.
2 3rd (2) (2/1 +20%) Dingle	2 2/1(+20%)	(2) Dingle 2/1, Latest win at Lingfield in January. Good second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 39 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.
3 4th (3) (7.5/1 -15%) Athmad	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(3) Athmad 7.5/1, Landed a third C&D success last month and added to his tally when dead-heating at Newcastle (10.2f, 3/1) 9 days later. Can't discount in current mood but bit more needed after further 3 lb rise.
6 5th (6) (20/1 +29%) Casting Vote	20 20/1(+29%)	(6) Casting Vote 20/1, Good third of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Chester (14.5f, good) when last seen in September. Significantly back down in trip on return. Makes tapeta debut. Perhaps best watched.

20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (3.5/1 -27%) Justcallmepete	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(5) Justcallmepete 3.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 11/1) 29 days ago, left poorly placed. Improvement could be on the way now that he's pitched into a handicap, and he's not ruled out.
3 2nd (3) (4/1 -14%) Crush And Run	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Crush And Run 4/1, Promising type. Won 9-runner maiden (2/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 19 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and he's high on the shortlist.
9 3rd (9) (12/1 -41%) Kingofhell	12 12/1(-41%)	(9) Kingofhell 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. That was a rather disappointing display but he's not one to write off just yet.
12 4th (12) (10/1 +38%) Cotai Grey	10 10/1(+38%)	(12) Cotai Grey 10/1, 15/2, good second of 19 in nursery at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) when last seen in September. Up 4 lb and another step forward needed if he's to go one better here.
4 5th (4) (3/1 +50%) True Icon	3 3/1(+50%)	(4) True Icon 3/1, Lightly-raced winner. Didn't need to improve to win 4-runner minor event (4/11) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 33 days ago, pushed out. Merits serious respect now handicapping off what looks a fair mark.
1 6th (1) (6.5/1 -44%) Raydoun	6.5 6.5/1(-44%)	(1) Raydoun 6.5/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (7/4) at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago, plenty in hand. 4 lb rise may well underestimate him and he should be firmly in the mix here.
2 7th (2) (28/1 -75%) Tudor Queen	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Tudor Queen 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, sixth of 9 in minor event at Catterick (7f, good to soft), not much room. Off 152 days ahead of this tapeta debut and improvement is needed.
6 8th (6) (25/1 -25%) Build Me Up	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Build Me Up 25/1, Winner at Leicester in September. 12/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Looks vulnerable here.
11 9th (11) (16/1 +20%) Bonita B	16 16/1(+20%)	(11) Bonita B 16/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 8/1) 15 days ago. Unlikely that she will be far away, but others make more appeal for win purposes.
7 10th (7) (100/1 -150%) Paddy K	100 100/1(-150%)	(7) Paddy K 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, 22 lengths last of 12 to Canonized in listed race at York (6f, soft) on final 2-y-o start, slowly away. This is far more realistic, but others preferred all the same.
10 11th (10) (33/1 -18%) War Brave	33 33/1(-18%)	(10) War Brave 33/1, 17/2, last of 6 in handicap at this course (8.1f) 23 days ago. Back down in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Probably best to look elsewhere.
8 12th (8) (18/1 -13%) Alaskan Jewel	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Alaskan Jewel 18/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in January. Respectable third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 10/3) 30 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip and should make her presence felt.

8 1st (8) (6/1 -50%) Phantasy Mac	6 6/1(-50%)	(8) Phantasy Mac 6/1, Promising type. 4/1, excellent second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago. More to come and she looks well handicapped.
2 2nd (2) (4/1 -14%) Canny Fettle	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Canny Fettle 4/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (8f) 14 days ago, well positioned. In good hands and limit may not have been reached.
6 3rd (6) (14/1 +30%) Pangloss	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Pangloss 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at this course (7.2f), better placed than most. Off 112 days. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut and more needed.
1 4th (1) (1.88/1 +37%) Subjective Value	1.88 1.88/1(+37%)	(1) Subjective Value 1.88/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D (13/8) 20 days ago, driven out. Merits consideration up 4 lb.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
