The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(2) Russian Rumour 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Nottingham in May. 10/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 48 days ago, clear of rest. Big shout. She stuck to her guns when a clear second at Ffos Las (2m, heavy).
10
2nd (10) (5/1 +29%) Tarbat Ness
5
5/1(+29%)
(10) Tarbat Ness 5/1, One win from 26 Flat runs. Good second of 11 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, soft, 9/2) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Blinkers back on. Not taken lightly. 3lb above his winning mark and returned to form with a second at Catterick.
1
3rd (1) (14/1 -56%) Al Sayah
14
14/1(-56%)
(1) Al Sayah 14/1, C&D winner in June. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (14f, good to firm, 7/2) 25 days ago. Back up in trip and in the mix. C&D winner in June but higher in the weights now and comeback run wasn't great.
8
4th (8) (5/1 -25%) Grey Owl
5
5/1(-25%)
(8) Grey Owl 5/1, Winner at Salisbury in August. Good third of 13 in handicap (5/1) at this course (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Up in trip and can go well again. Consistent but goes further this afternoon and ground this slow will be a first.
9
5th (9) (6/1 +33%) Tigerten
6
6/1(+33%)
(9) Tigerten 6/1, First run since leaving Kevin Frost when creditable 3¼ lengths second of 13 to Calshot Spit in handicap at this C&D (good, 15/2) 26 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Back from a break when second to Calshot Spit here; should finish closer this time.
3
6th (3) (11/2 +21%) Zestful
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(3) Zestful 11/2, 11/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Shortlisted. Dual hurdle winner; fair effort at Pontefract last time on ground too fast.
4
7th (4) (6/1 -9%) Made For You
6
6/1(-9%)
(4) Made For You 6/1, Won 5-runner handicap hurdle (15/2) at Worcester (23f, soft) 13 days ago, digging deep. Fair on the Flat so needs considering. Won latest race over hurdles two weeks ago and that after finishing runner-up on the Flat.
5
8th (5) (5/1 -25%) Calshot Spit
5
5/1(-25%)
(5) Calshot Spit 5/1, 3/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 16 days ago, holding on gamely. Firmly in the picture back on the level. C&D winner last month and followed up over hurdles; softer ground here will be fine.
6
9th (6) (150/1 -500%) San Pedro
150
150/1(-500%)
(6) San Pedro 150/1, 8/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kempton (24.5f, good to soft) 157 days ago, having run of race. Off 157 days with more needed. Won two hurdles early this year but questionable whether he can still deliver on the Flat.
7
10th (7) (66/1 -371%) Adrian
66
66/1(-371%)
(7) Adrian 66/1, Good fifth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (16f, good to firm, 10/1) 85 days ago. Can give a good account. Kept plugging away over 2m at Ffos Las and might be about to rediscover some form.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
CALSHOT SPIT has been in fine form under both codes of late and a return to softer ground conditions holds no fear. Sheena West's charge looks fairly treated off 6lb higher than last month's C&D victory and he's taken to follow up. Russian Rumour also has a good record here and a reproduction of her latest second at Ffos Las would likely see her involved. The seven-year-old is feared most, ahead of Made For You.
Plenty are in with a shout. C&D winner RUSSIAN RUMOUR rates the pick at these weights so edges the vote at the chief expense of Catterck runner-up Tarbat Ness. Grey Owl, Al Sayah and Calshot Spit all need considering too in this very open contest.
If recent C&D winner Calshot Spit has a chance then so too does TIGERTEN (nap) who has a 6lb pull for last month's defeat.
(6) Inappropriate 5/2, Earned reward for some placed efforts this year when taking a 1¼m Beverley handicap (good to firm) 22 days ago. Respected up 4 lb. Off the mark with a comfortable Beverley win last month; big chance despite the 4lb rise.
4
2nd (4) (8/1 -14%) Up The Jazz
8
8/1(-14%)
(4) Up The Jazz 8/1, Latest win over 1¼m at Ripon in June. Good third of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) 15 days ago. 1m2f win at Ripon in June; good 3rd off this mark latest; down in class with e-w claims.
10
3rd (10) (18/1 +10%) Tilsitt
18
18/1(+10%)
(10) Tilsitt 18/1, C&D winner. Twenty nine runs since last win in 2022. 4¼ lengths eighth of 10 to Can't Stop Now in C&D handicap (good) 9 days ago. Conditions no problem but on a losing run and behind a few of these here last week.
3
4th (3) (17/2 +23%) Savrola
8.5
17/2(+23%)
(3) Savrola 17/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable 1¾ lengths fifth of 10 to Can't Stop Now over C&D (good) 9 days ago, finishing with running left after meeting trouble. Fifth behind Can't Stop Now here last week but met lots of trouble; solid contender.
11
5th (11) (11/2 -38%) Susiesparkle
5.5
11/2(-38%)
(11) Susiesparkle 11/2, Winner at Thirsk in September. 3/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Can make presence felt. Clicked for current yard and travels like a filly who should be ahead of her mark; solid.
2
6th (2) (11/2 +15%) Eeetee
5.5
11/2(+15%)
(2) Eeetee 11/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) 15 days ago. Shortlist material. Not the force of old but several good runs for current stable; others stronger for the win.
9
7th (9) (16/1 -100%) Jewel Maker
16
16/1(-100%)
(9) Jewel Maker 16/1, Creditable ¾-length fourth of 10 to Can't Stop Now over C&D (good) 9 days ago. This consistent veteran should be in the shake up again. Veteran who is in top form & was close up in 4th behind Can't Stop Now over C&D last week.
12
8th (12) (25/1 -25%) Ayr Poet
25
25/1(-25%)
(12) Ayr Poet 25/1, 5-time course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, not seen to best effect (denied a run 2f out) when tenth of 13 here (1m, good to firm) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. Mixed bag this year and needs a full revival to take this.
7
9th (7) (14/1 +30%) Peace Walk
14
14/1(+30%)
(7) Peace Walk 14/1, Blinkered first time, fifth of 6 in handicap (10/1) at Chester (14.5f, heavy) 27 days ago. Significantly down in trip. 2yo promise seems a long time ago but down in trip & class so a revival is not impossible.
8
10th (8) (28/1 -133%) Melinda
28
28/1(-133%)
(8) Melinda 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, fourth of 14 in maiden at Carlisle (11f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Open to improvement. Switch to handicap level, shorter trip and better ground could all spark improvement.
5
11th (5) (66/1 -164%) The Nu Form Way
66
66/1(-164%)
(5) The Nu Form Way 66/1, Winner at Beverley and Chester in the spring. 5¾ lengths eighth of 10 to Inappropriate in handicap (80/1) at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 22 days ago. Yet to fire after a long absence but down in weights and worth a market check.
1
12th (1) (8/1 0%) Can't Stop Now
8
8/1(0%)
(1) Can't Stop Now 8/1, Second C&D win in last 3 starts when seeing off 9 rivals last week. It was a tight finish so isn't obviously well treated under a 4 lb penalty. Won two of her last three, both over C&D; scrambled home latest but this is a weaker race.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Can't Stop Now got up in the dying strides to score over C&D nine days ago and has to be respected under a 4lb penalty. However, a chance can be taken on UP THE JAZZ, who made the frame in a warmer contest than this at Redcar last month and might be able to capitalise off an unchanged mark. Inappropriate completes the shortlist.
SUSIESPARKLE has been in fine form since joining Iain Jardine and might be able to gain compensation for near misses on her last 2 outings. Inappropriate rates an obvious danger after coming good at Beverley last time. Eeetee and handicap newcomer Melinda complete the shortlist.
Savrola and Susiesparkle are high on the list but the 3yo INAPPROPRIATE (nap) looks the one to beat.
(7) Sam's Amour 8/1, Fair hurdler who showed improved form to run out an emphatic winner after 13 weeks off at Fontwell (21.8f, good) in May. Back at that level when second in handicap company over the same C&D but her merit seems established. Has been competitive in handicaps but more on her plate back in a novice race.
1
2nd (1) (6/5 -80%) Mirabad
1.2
6/5(-80%)
(1) Mirabad 6/5, Useful on Flat and made a good start over hurdles in the spring, building on Wetherby run (when well backed) when landing bare 2m Wincanton novice. Good second under a penalty at Kempton and there should be more to come from him this term (has had a breathing op). Could do with settling better but he's still been running well; had a wind operation.
4
3rd (4) (9/1 -125%) Hola Hermosa
9
9/1(-125%)
(4) Hola Hermosa 9/1, Just minor promise in bumpers but well prepared to make a winning hurdles debut at Worcester in July. Bare form isn't anything special but she's in the right hands. It wasn't much of a race that she won narrowly from off the pace at Worcester.
3
4th (3) (4/1 +20%) Call To Duty
4
4/1(+20%)
(3) Call To Duty 4/1, Out of a winning hurdler and showed promise on the first of 2 starts in bumpers last year. Easily best effort over hurdles when runner-up at Stratford in June, jumping well. Got to be respected. Best form yet when second at Stratford and he should keep on improving.
8
5th (8) (16/1 +0%) Scintillante
16
16/1(+0%)
(8) Scintillante 16/1, Produced an effort more in keeping with his Flat form when second in a 2m maiden at Worcester last month. Never threatened when sixth on handicap debut back there a month ago and looks vulnerable returned to novice company. Poor the last time in a handicap and perhaps vulnerable even if back on song.
6
6th (6) (200/1 -33%) Knock On Wood
200
200/1(-33%)
(6) Knock On Wood 200/1, £7,500 6-y-o, Gatewood gelding. Dam, showed nothing sole start in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3½m) Mr Woodentop. Winning pointer (record patchy in that sphere) but pulled up on Rules debut a fortnight ago. Headgear on. Point winner in March but failed to go on from there and showed little on hurdle debut.
2
7th (2) (100/1 -300%) Alberts Bay
100
100/1(-300%)
(2) Alberts Bay 100/1, Limited impact in points but exceeded expectations when third of 5 on hurdles debut in September 2023. Off the track since. Questionable what he achieved in a small field at Newton Abbot (2m5f novice).
13:48 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Mirabad was no match for a useful sort at Kempton in May, but this doesn't look as deep and he merits respect under the penalty. That said, HOLA HERMOSA made a winning hurdles debut at Worcester in July and with the prospect of more to come, she could double her tally. Call To Duty might not be far away either.
Given MIRABAD's Flat ability, there should be plenty more to come from him as a hurdler this term, so he's taken to successfully concede weight all round. Call To Duty impressed with his jumping at Stratford so he rates a threat, along with Hola Hermosa.
This isn't at all strong and MIRABAD might well be up to defying a penalty on the back of a wind operation.
(2) Carte D'or 50/1, Foaled April 23. Kessaar filly. Dam unraced. Kessaar filly; dam unraced half-sister to 2 winners; unlikely to be involved on debut.
6
1st (6) (5/6 +49%) Mint Candy
0.833333
5/6(+49%)
(6) Mint Candy 5/6, Fourth of 13 in maiden (8/11) at Punchestown (7f, good) 23 days ago. Beaten favourite on last 2 starts but she couldn't be in better hands and is expected to be involved again. Built on debut when beaten a nose but turned over at odds on latest; further should suit.
5
2nd (5) (5/2 -67%) Joyful Princess
2.5
5/2(-67%)
(5) Joyful Princess 5/2, Promising sort. Second of 13 in maiden (15/2) at Punchestown (7f, good) 23 days ago, running on under a considerate ride. Expected to improve again so major player. Built on promising green debut when beaten 2l latest and further could suit.
10
3rd (10) (14/1 -56%) Restful
14
14/1(-56%)
(10) Restful 14/1, 22/1, fifth of 15 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to soft) on debut 9 days ago, not knocked about. Bound to step up on that given her pedigree. Well held 5th in a Cork maiden when 22-1 last week; probably more of a long term prospect.
4
4th (4) (7/1 +7%) Happiest
7
7/1(+7%)
(4) Happiest 7/1, Bred to be smart and not judged too harshly on twelfth of 16 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to firm, 4/1) on debut 29 days ago, stumbling early. This will reveal a lot more. Half-sister to Irish 1,000 winner Peaceful; not much went her way on debut; may do better.
1
5th (1) (10/1 -11%) Annie's Angel
10
10/1(-11%)
(1) Annie's Angel 10/1, Foaled April 14. 10,000 gns foal, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to 9.5f/1¼m winner Mayo For Sam. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¾m Cimeara. Newcomer for in-form yard. Dark Angel filly; 10,000gns foal; half-sister to Mayo For Sam; suitable starting point.
8
6th (8) (33/1 -32%) Permission Tospeak
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Permission Tospeak 33/1, Foaled February 6. €58,000 yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Nancy P. Dam unraced, closely related to useful 6f/7f winner Nations Alexander. Blue Point filly; 58,000eur yearling; half-sister to 1m4f winner; likely to need this.
7
7th (7) (66/1 -100%) One Of A Kind
66
66/1(-100%)
(7) One Of A Kind 66/1, Eleventh of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 37 days ago. Well bred filly but hard to fancy on what she's shown in 2 fillies' maidens so far.
9
8th (9) (80/1 -60%) Petite Madame
80
80/1(-60%)
(9) Petite Madame 80/1, Foaled April 6. The Irish Rover filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f-6f winner Rockin Roy. Yard in good form. The Irish Rover filly; half-sister to sprint winners and not sure to have stamina for this.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The experienced MINT CANDY can register a first win. A promising fourth on her debut at Tipperary in August, the Dubawi filly was just denied at Gowran Park on her second start. Although a beaten odds-on favourite at Punchestown last time, the Aidan O'Brien-trained juvenile may not have entirely acted on that track. In what is arguably a weaker race, she is taken to open her account at the fourth time of asking. Joyful Princess, who finished two places in front of Mint Candy at Gowran Park, is almost certain to be involved once again. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly stayed on well to take minor honours close home. Cork fifth Restful stayed on late once the penny dropped on her recent debut. She is another capable of getting involved.
JOYFUL PRINCESS improved on her debut run despite not looking the finished article when second at Punchestown 3 weeks ago and expected to progress again, she's marginally preferred in favour of Mint Candy. Annie's Angel could be the pick of the newcomers.
JOYFUL PRINCESS and Mint Candy are closely matched on form and the former should relish this new trip
(8) Threeforagirl 22/1, Foaled March 21. Cable Bay filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Ok Pal. Dam lightly raced. Yard is not synonymous with winning newcomers and watching brief advised. Newcomer from a yard that's not associated with 2yo winners.
4
1st (4) (2/1 -7%) Think Of A Name
2
2/1(-7%)
(4) Think Of A Name 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in novice (11/2) at Newcastle (6f) 69 days ago. Solid chance judged on his penultimate run at Newbury where he found just one too good in an 11-runner contest. His Newbury second reads well at this level, for all that it was a modest contest.
7
2nd (7) (11/4 -47%) Rory Rocket
2.75
11/4(-47%)
(7) Rory Rocket 11/4, Promising type. Second of 4 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good, 11/1) on debut 39 days ago, slowly away. He was the only newcomer within that quartet and this Aclaim colt should make a bold bid to go one better here. Only four ran at Brighton but he gave the experienced winner something to think about.
1
3rd (1) (7/1 -75%) Mini Mac
7
7/1(-75%)
(1) Mini Mac 7/1, Foaled March 24. 28,000 gns yearling, 21,000 gns 2-y-o, Dark Angel gelding. Dam, ran twice, closely related to smart winner up to 7f Saint Lawrence. Yard can ready a newcomer and it'll look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Gelded ahead of debut but he's kicking off in a modest race.
2
4th (2) (4/1 +56%) Profit Rockit
4
4/1(+56%)
(2) Profit Rockit 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, ninth of 12 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good to firm), not knocked about. Off 121 days and will need to raise his game in order to play a leading role. Down the field in both his races, latterly going off 66-1 at Salisbury; now gelded.
3
5th (3) (22/1 +33%) Summer Rain
22
22/1(+33%)
(3) Summer Rain 22/1, Once-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago. Looks set for another struggle. In rear throughout when sent off 150-1 for a 6f maiden at Newbury; had to show more.
6
6th (6) (11/2 +8%) Bust A Moon
5.5
11/2(+8%)
(6) Bust A Moon 11/2, Once-raced maiden. 28/1 and hooded, fifth of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 12 days ago, slowly away. He's out of a 5f 2-y-o winner and it could be that this drop to the minimum trip will help spark improvement. Also hooded at Chelmsford (7f) where he was never dangerous after starting slowly.
5
7th (5) (100/1 +0%) Bruce Banner
100
100/1(+0%)
(5) Bruce Banner 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, last of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) 36 days ago. Down in trip and he's hard to warm to. Trailed home last in two 7f races at Kempton and couldn't make a case.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
RORY ROCKET should have learned plenty from his debut experience when second on a quick surface at Brighton last month and a breakthrough victory could be in the offing. Although the son of Aclaim faces more testing ground conditions here, his pedigree suggests that it may not be a problem. Think Of A Name looks the type who will enjoy this drop in distance and he may serve the most resistance to the selection. Bust A Moon is next best.
This is likely to go the way of RORY ROCKET, who shaped well amid greenness when runner-up on debut in a Brighton maiden and he will be more street-wise this time. It was rather surprising that Bust A Moon contested a 7f race on his recent introduction at Chelmsford given his speedy pedigree, and he is likely to be seen in an altogether better light now down to the minimum trip. Think of A Name and newcomer Mini Mac are others to consider.
This is a modest contest and it wouldn't be a surprise should MINI MAC have a major say on his debut.
(6) The Blaggard 7/2, Promising sort. Improved when fourth of 17 in maiden hurdle (80/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 12 days ago. Looks the one to beat. Not given a hard race at Listowel on comeback (jinked run-in); has the ability to go close.
4
2nd (4) (5/1 +90%) Mount Mandela
5
5/1(+90%)
(4) Mount Mandela 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, fourteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 31 days ago. Some promise in bumpers; didn't jump that well on hurdling debut at Galway but can improve.
2
3rd (2) (11/2 +54%) Halla Paroiste
5.5
11/2(+54%)
(2) Halla Paroiste 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 11 in novice chase (33/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Some decent maiden runs earlier this year, incl' over C&D and is one to consider.
1
4th (1) (9/1 -64%) Truckers Cruising
9
9/1(-64%)
(1) Truckers Cruising 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, creditable eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (21.4f, good) 22 days ago. Down in trip. Place claims. Beaten 18l and 14l in 2m5f maidens here the last twice; has to improve dropped in trip.
5
5th (5) (6/1 -50%) Spinola Bay
6
6/1(-50%)
(5) Spinola Bay 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 16 in novice hurdle (18/1) at Roscommon (15.6f, soft) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. Open to progress for leading stable. Never dangerous but did run on making hurdling debut at Roscommon; should be sharper now.
12
6th (12) (100/1 -52%) Fortuna Lora
100
100/1(-52%)
(12) Fortuna Lora 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Roscommon (20.3f, soft) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. Back down in trip. Beaten a long way in two bumpers and a maiden hurdle so will have to find improvement.
7
7th (7) (125/1 -25%) Demanding Gerry
125
125/1(-25%)
(7) Demanding Gerry 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft, 300/1) 10 days ago. Down in trip. Well beaten in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; will have to find significant improvement.
8
8th (8) (12/1 +0%) Finnicky Filly
12
12/1(+0%)
(8) Finnicky Filly 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Virtually refused to race in maiden hurdle (12/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 36 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before fourth. Something to prove after that. Promising fourth at Tipperary; below that level twice since and pulled-up at Kilbeggan.
10
|B| (10) (6/1 -118%) Shantou Princess
6
6/1(-118%)
(10) Shantou Princess 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 25/1, first run since leaving Ellmarie Holden when sixth of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (18f, soft) on hurdles bow 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Beaten 57l on hurdling/stable debut at Listowel and has to improve plenty; cheekpieces.
13
|F| (13) (5/1 -11%) Polly Poppins
5
5/1(-11%)
(13) Polly Poppins 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fourth of 14 in maiden hurdle (33/1) at this course (16.6f, good) 22 days ago. One of the more likely types in this line-up. Keen in front, even with a hood on, over C&D last time; can go closer if relaxing better.
11
|F| (11) (33/1 -175%) Shining Silver
33
33/1(-175%)
(11) Shining Silver 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, tenth of 11 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Tailed-off in a Downpatrick bumper last time so has to leave that run behind.
14:05 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
THE BLAGGARD didn't look the most straight forward of horses when soundly beaten on his first two starts before attracting the attention of the stewards when putting in a much improved display at Listowel last month, staying on well into fourth behind stablemate Kingdom Calling. Polly Poppins has shown promise when racing keenly on all three outings including when finding no extra from two out over C&D last month and looks capable of winning over hurdles if learning to settle. Point-to-point winner Shantou Princess is another to consider while Finnicky Filly would be a threat if recapturing the form of her fourth at Tipperary back in May.
THE BLAGGARD could have more to offer on the back of his eye-catching fourth at Listowel recently and gets the vote. Gordon Elliott's Spinola Bay has the potential to leave his Roscommon hurdle debut run behind and is second choice ahead of last month's course fourth Polly Poppins.
An eyecatcher on return at Listowel last time when still looking green, THE BLAGGARD can improve enough to take this
(5) Last Galileo 3/1, 13/8, showed promise when second of 6 in novice at Redcar (7f, good) on debut 15 days ago, no match for winner who raced alone on far rail. Should progress. Couldn't justify favouritism on debut but ran okay in the circumstances; 1m should suit.

2nd (1) (8/11 +100%) Hornsea Bay
0.727273
8/11(+100%)
(1) Hornsea Bay 8/11, 5/1, looked a good prospect when winning 11-runner novice at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 3 weeks ago by 3 lengths from reopposing Bambalam. Carries a penalty and looks sure to progress and win more races. Created a hugely positive impression over C&D on debut three weeks ago; hard to beat.
2
3rd (2) (10/3 -48%) Bambalam
3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(2) Bambalam 10/3, 10/11, confirmed debut promise given a much more positive ride when 3 lengths second of 11 to reopposing Hornsea Bay in novice at this C&D (good to firm) 3 weeks ago. Remains with potential. Promise on debut and again over C&D three weeks ago, albeit no match for Hornsea Bay.
4
4th (4) (100/1 -400%) Gaelic Gladiator
100
100/1(-400%)
(4) Gaelic Gladiator 100/1, 12/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (8.3f, good) on debut 18 days ago, not knocked about. Will likely be of most interest when handicapping. Last month's Hamilton debut wasn't without hope but others have achieved more.
6
5th (6) (25/1 -108%) Ridgemaster
25
25/1(-108%)
(6) Ridgemaster 25/1, Foaled February 4. €23,000 foal, €30,000 yearling, Mastercraftsman colt. Half-brother to 5f winner Doctor Mozart and winner up to 1m Catch Me. Dam, South African 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart South African sprinter Generalissimo. 30,000euros half-brother to two winners out of a 5f winner; betting to guide.
7
6th (7) (250/1 -150%) Uncle Liam
250
250/1(-150%)
(7) Uncle Liam 250/1, 100/1, went with little immediate promise when 23 lengths tenth of 11 to Hornsea Bay in novice at this C&D (good to firm) on debut 3 weeks ago. 100-1 and always in rear when finishing 23l behind Hornsea Bay over C&D three weeks ago.
3
7th (3) (250/1 -150%) Finding Time
250
250/1(-150%)
(3) Finding Time 250/1, 16/1, tailed-off last of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (8.3f, good) on debut 18 days ago, very slowly away. Last of seven on last month's Hamilton debut; hard to fancy.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
It was hard not to be impressed by HORNSEA BAY's debut victory over track and trip last month and he has plenty of scope for improvement. If the son of New Bay can take a step forward, he could prove tough to beat despite carrying a penalty. Last Galileo is the obvious danger after finishing second on his debut at Redcar, while newcomer Ridgemaster is another to note.
HORNSEA BAY looked a good prospect when making a winning debut over C&D 3 weeks ago and under a penalty, David O'Meara's colt can confirm his superiority over Bambalam, who was given a much more positive ride that day and duly left his debut effort behind. Last Galileo should come on for his second at Redcar recently, so he rounds off the shortlist.
Having produced a sparkling display on his debut, HORNSEA BAY can confirm his superiority over Bambalam.
(4) A Definite Getaway 11/2, Maiden over hurdles but got off the mark at the first time of asking over fences at Worcester in July. Two creditable efforts in defeat since but has nothing obviously in hand of his mark. Has taken well to fences in recent months but a couple of the others appeal more.
1
2nd (1) (9/4 -13%) Magical Escape
2.25
9/4(-13%)
(1) Magical Escape 9/4, Landed back-to-back hurdle wins at up to 3m in the spring. Interesting chase newcomer back from 5 months off (has had wind surgery). Hit form over hurdles in the spring, winning twice; switched to fences for handicap debut.
3
3rd (3) (11/10 +0%) Florencethemachine
1.1
11/10(+0%)
(3) Florencethemachine 11/10, Dual hurdle winner, latterly a 3m Chepstow handicap in April. A point background provides hope that she can go on to even better things over fences this time round. Big player for top yard. Irish point winner; 2-6 over hurdles; a good candidate for chasing this season.
2
4th (2) (7/1 -8%) Ajp Kingdom
7
7/1(-8%)
(2) Ajp Kingdom 7/1, Can make mistakes but placed twice over 23f at Worcester over this summer and ought to be on the premises again if keeping the errors down. Placed in two of his four chases this season but has become too inconsistent to rely upon.
5
|R| (5) (18/1 -29%) Valentino
18
18/1(-29%)
(5) Valentino 18/1, Three-time hurdle winner but lightly raced in recent times. Showed he retains his ability after 9 months off when fourth in Newton Abbot handicap hurdle in June but off again since. Probably best watched on this rather belated chase debut. Very lightly raced in recent years but ran quite well over hurdles in June; chase debut.
14:23 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Twice a winner over hurdles earlier this year, FLORENCETHEMACHINE has few miles on the clock and, with chasing sure to be more her game, the daughter of Malinas can make an immediate impact. A switch to the larger obstacles should also benefit Magical Escape and Kim Bailey's Ffos Las winner can make his presence felt, while A Definite Getaway heads the remainder.
FLORENCETHEMACHINE improved for the step up to 3m when successful over hurdles at Chepstow in the spring and a point success at the start of her career provides hope that she can do well over the larger obstacles. Fellow chase newcomer Magical Escape is feared most.
Chasing debutants MAGICAL ESCAPE and Florencethemachine both have considerable potential and may fight this out.
(2) Jareth 16/5, 11/1, fourth of 11 in maiden at Sligo (5.7f, soft) on debut 64 days ago, having to pick way through. Significantly up in trip. Should improve. Encouraging 4th despite slow start at Sligo and should improve for experience/longer trip.

10/1(-82%)
(6) Georg Zhukov 10/1, Ninth of 12 in maiden at Roscommon (7.4f, good, 3/1) on debut, not clear run. Off 143 days. May well do better. 3-1 for debut in May but was beaten 13l; gelded and has been off 143 days.

(3) Booklight 11/4, Twice-raced filly. 7/1, seventh of 13 in novice event at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 112 days. Did well for 4th on debut but didn't build on that; off 112 days and drawn wide.

12/1(-33%)
(10) Bridezilla 12/1, Foaled March 9. €8,500 yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Gibeon out of smart 1½m-1¾m winner (stayed 2m) Gravitation. Kodi Bear filly; 8,500eur yearling; dam unplaced; yard 1-40 with turf 2yos this year.

(4) Calcifer 15/2, 10/3, sixth of 13 in maiden at Down Royal (7f, good) on debut. Off 111 days. Respected on return. 10-3 for maiden on debut; beaten 6l when 6th since; should improve up in trip if fit.

2.75
11/4(-38%)
(12) Kurrawa 11/4, Ran right up to form when fourth of 9 in nursery (20/1) at Cork (6f, soft) 9 days ago. Significantly up in trip and the one to beat on form. Only beaten a length at Navan; bounced back from lesser run when 4th latest; new trip.

33
33/1(+0%)
(9) Ranting And Raven 33/1, Thirteenth of 16 in maiden (40/1) at Galway (7f, good) 30 days ago, slowly away. Stable having good spell. 13th in both fillies' maiden runs so far at 7f; needs a lot more for step up in trip.

66
66/1(-100%)
(5) Whats New 66/1, Last of 15 in maiden (40/1) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) on debut 17 days ago. Didn't beat a rival when 40-1 for a Listowel handicap and drawn widest here.

9th (7) (100/1 -100%) Sovereign Banter
100
100/1(-100%)
(7) Sovereign Banter 100/1, Thrice-raced colt. 50/1, ninth of 12 in maidenclaimer at Naas (8f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Shown very little in maidens so far; will get better chances in h'caps.
1
10th (1) (16/1 -60%) Faoladh
16
16/1(-60%)
(1) Faoladh 16/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 16/1) 56 days ago. Only minor promise in a pair of maidens so far; gelded and might be one for h'caps.
13
11th (13) (200/1 -203%) Shangar
200
200/1(-203%)
(13) Shangar 200/1, 100/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) on debut 16 days ago. Tailed off when only beating one home in a Listowel maiden last month at 100-1.
14
12th (14) (100/1 -52%) Tinnakelly
100
100/1(-52%)
(14) Tinnakelly 100/1, 66/1, fourteenth of 15 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft) on debut 17 days ago. 66-1 when 16th of 17 in Listowel maiden 17 days ago; hard to fancy.

80
80/1(-60%)
(11) Creideamh 80/1, Foaled February 16. €15,000 yearling, Eqtidaar filly. Half-sister to Italian 5f winner Council of Wisdom and 7f winner Robbo. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart 11f winner Mystic Lips. Eqtidaar filly; half-sister to 2 winners over shorter trips; unlikely to have a say.

125
125/1(-213%)
(8) Tipping Along 125/1, Fourth of 5 in minor event at Cork (6f, good to firm, 66/1) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Shown nothing at huge odds in two runs so far; up in trip.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Sligo fourth JARETH can take this for in-form Curragh trainer John O'Donoghue. Slowly away on debut, the Make Believe gelding kept on well inside the final furlong. With the second and third winning subsequently, that form has a decent look to it. Absent since finishing sixth on his debut at Down Royal in June, Califer shouldn't be far away on his return from a break. The Gavin Cromwell-trained colt will appreciate stepping up to a mile, having looked outpaced over 7f before staying on in the closing stages. Jessica Harrington's Kurrawa has been a consistent filly in recent starts. Although her best chance would have appeared to be in handicaps, a mark of 73 sets the standard in this ordinary race.
Not a strong maiden and while KURRAWA isn't bred to relish this trip, she's been shaping as though she'll stay this far so she looks the way to go. Calcifer and Jareth are a couple of potential threats.
It may be worth taking a flyer on JARETH who shaped with promise on debut and should appreciate this new trip
(1) Sisters In The Sky 5/2, Course winner. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 16/1) 9 days ago, nearest finish. Currently 1 lb below last winning mark and a bold show is anticipated. Not easy to win with (4-50) but has run some sound races this year; conditions fine.
6
2nd (6) (7/1 +50%) Storm Venture
7
7/1(+50%)
(6) Storm Venture 7/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 9 days ago. Hopes now pinned on the first-time blinkers sparking improvement. No wins in 16 and was behind Sisters In The Sky here last week; now in blinkers.
5
3rd (5) (10/3 +67%) Redshore City
3.333333
10/3(+67%)
(5) Redshore City 10/3, One win from 30 Flat runs. 14/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 8 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view. Up and down profile and overall record of 1-30 is uninspiring.
2
4th (2) (5/1 -82%) Firenze Rosa
5
5/1(-82%)
(2) Firenze Rosa 5/1, Latest win at Brighton in July. Last of 15 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good, 20/1) 26 days ago. Needs to bounce back but she will be a major player if able to do so with first-time blinkers enlisted, while the forecast slow ground is a plus. Getting back on softer ground can help her cause, as might blinkers.
4
5th (4) (5/2 +17%) Louis Treize
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(4) Louis Treize 5/2, Unreliable sort. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 37 days ago. Each-way chance if on a going day. Losing run is now 16 and slow starts continue to hold him back, even when sent over 6f.
9
6th (9) (150/1 -200%) Captain Red Blazer
150
150/1(-200%)
(9) Captain Red Blazer 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 6 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good) 23 days ago. Down in trip and he's equipped with a first-time tongue strap and cheekpieces on for 1st time for this handicap debut. Finished last in his qualifying races at 6f and 7f; has an official rating of 10.
7
7th (7) (28/1 -12%) Miss Rainstorm
28
28/1(-12%)
(7) Miss Rainstorm 28/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Tracy Waggott when seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 23 days ago. Likely to finish nearer last than first here, too. Quiet on stable debut and this 11-race maiden has a regressive profile.
8
8th (8) (150/1 -355%) Video Games
150
150/1(-355%)
(8) Video Games 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving Ralph Beckett when last of 7 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces enlisted for this handicap debut. Quiet so far, her latest run on stable debut after an absence; first handicap start.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SISTERS IN THE SKY returned to form when staying on into third over track and trip nine days ago. The five-year-old did best of those held up that day and compensation could beckon in this company. The biggest threat may emerge from Louis Treize, who is 1lb lower than his respectable third at Chepstow last month. You Are Everything's mark continues to fall and a return to this venue may help.
FIRENZE ROSA has failed to fire the last twice but the addition of blinkers and forecast soft surface may prove to be a winning combination for this 9-y-o. She shades preference ahead of Sisters In The Sky, who scored off a 1 lb higher mark here during the summer and he put in a good late work following a tardy start when third over C&D last week. Louis Treize and You Are Everything can do battle for minor honours.
All of these find winning difficult these days. Marginal preference is for SISTERS IN THE SKY who ran well here last week.
(1) Be Fierce 4/1, Shaped better than previously when good third of 15 in novice hurdle (22/1) at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good) in July and must be of interest on switch to handicapping. Third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last time; this trip will suit better; respected on h'cap bow.
7
2nd (7) (8/1 0%) She's On Line
8
8/1(0%)
(7) She's On Line 8/1, Found improvement when fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) 4 days ago. Races off same mark here and warrants respect. Fifth at Killarney four days ago and if she can find a bit more could get closer.
2
3rd (2) (11/1 -120%) Maggie Walsh
11
11/1(-120%)
(2) Maggie Walsh 11/1, Course winner. Last of 5 in minor event hurdle (80/1) at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Claims on best form. C&D winner was outclassed on comeback six days ago and this is more realistic.
9
4th (9) (17/2 +6%) Rene Artois
8.5
17/2(+6%)
(9) Rene Artois 17/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 25/1) 6 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Each-way claims. Beaten about 7l at Gowran six days ago; a repeat of that can see him involved.
3
5th (3) (5/2 -54%) Hollow Spark
2.5
5/2(-54%)
(3) Hollow Spark 5/2, Career best when opening account in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 7/1) 6 days ago. 7 lb penalty to carry now but another bold bid is anticipated. Due to go up 6lb but carries a mandatory 7lb penalty; has to be taken seriously even so.
8
6th (8) (66/1 -32%) Internet Biddy
66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Internet Biddy 66/1, First run since leaving Jackie Stephen when hooded for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good, 66/1) 124 days ago, weakening soon after next. Best watched. Pulled-up in handicaps the last twice, including on debut for this yard; not easy to fancy.
4
7th (4) (22/1 -267%) Thefaithfulindian
22
22/1(-267%)
(4) Thefaithfulindian 22/1, First run since leaving Aidan Anthony Howard when last of 9 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good, 66/1) 19 days ago, lost all chance at start. Returns to hurdling now and this run should reveal more. Maiden over hurdles but has run well in defeat at times; tailed-off on return on the Flat.
6
8th (6) (100/1 -150%) Bonny Dazzler
100
100/1(-150%)
(6) Bonny Dazzler 100/1, 200/1, first run since leaving Mark John Scallan when tenth of 16 in novice chase at Punchestown (24.4f, good to soft) 163 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly down in trip. Hard to recommend. Well beaten in points and a banks race in the spring; not easy to make a case for.
5

4.5
9/2(+44%)
(5) Grizabella 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Wexford in July. Bit below form 13¼ lengths seventh of 14 to Hollow Spark in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 17/2) 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Not out of things. Mostly decent runs in defeat lately but was beaten 14l by Hollow Spark at Gowran last week.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MAGGIE WALSH gets the vote having won twice over hurdles already this year including over C&D in June. She subsequently ran well off this rating at Kilbeggan and takes a drop in class after finishing in rear behind Lot Of Joy at Gowran. Hollow Spark makes a quick reappearance under a 7lb penalty after opening her account at Gowran last Friday but is not the most consistent of performers and this softer ground is a concern. Stablemate Thefaithfulindian is best with plenty of cut while Rene Artois was absent for a year before a couple of recent outings and showed promise in a similar event at Gowran last week. She's On Line was also far from disgraced recently at Killarney.
HOLLOW SPARK built on the promise of her previous run when scoring at Gowran last week and a 7 lb penalty may not prevent the follow up. Be Fierce and She's On Line should also go well.
Hollow Spark has to be respected but preference is for BE FIERCE who ran well at Kilbeggan last time and has placed form here.
(4) Darbucks 5/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago. Others are preferred. Yet to run a poor race at Ayr; first past the post in this race last year; rain would help.

2nd (1) (11/4 -10%) Alpine Sierra
2.75
11/4(-10%)
(1) Alpine Sierra 11/4, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap over C&D (good, 11/4) 9 days ago. Shortlist material. Yet to win this year but on a dangerous mark and conditions should be fine; respected.
7
3rd (7) (13/2 -18%) Golden Valour
6.5
13/2(-18%)
(7) Golden Valour 13/2, Course winner. 20/1, creditable second of 9 over C&D (good) 9 days ago and thereabouts again if showing up in similar form. 1m win here in May and second over C&D last week; should be in the shake up again.
5
4th (5) (25/1 -150%) Havana Rose
25
25/1(-150%)
(5) Havana Rose 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 50/1, sixth of 9 over C&D (good) 9 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Gone the wrong way for this yard but last week's close 6th over C&D was more encouraging.
2
5th (2) (7/2 +53%) Jkr Cobbler
3.5
7/2(+53%)
(2) Jkr Cobbler 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. Respectable seventh of 13 in over C&D (good to firm, 18/1) 21 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. Carlisle win in May (7f, good to soft) and some fair runs since; strong pace would suit.
8
6th (8) (66/1 -313%) Ana Emaraaty
66
66/1(-313%)
(8) Ana Emaraaty 66/1, Won a Newcastle classified event in March but out of sorts on AW when last seen later in the spring. 1m AW win in March came at a low level; absent six months; others look stronger.
6
7th (6) (4/1 -60%) Lumenbourg
4
4/1(-60%)
(6) Lumenbourg 4/1, Winner at Doncaster (7f) in August. Creditable second of 15 in handicap (16/1) at Redcar (7f, good) 15 days ago. Boasts a positive profile and should go well again. Improved for a visor; latest second of 15 represented further progress; leading claims.
3
8th (3) (11/1 -10%) Mighty Power
11
11/1(-10%)
(3) Mighty Power 11/1, 25/1, last of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) 29 days ago but had been in reasonable form prior to that. Much lower mark on turf and there has been promise this year; excuses latest; contender.
9
9th (9) (66/1 -371%) Bernie The Bear
66
66/1(-371%)
(9) Bernie The Bear 66/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Below form eleventh of 18 in classified event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 11/1), unable to sustain effort. Off 108 days. Back up in trip. Needs to bounce back from two low-key runs and he's still seeking his first win on turf.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Golden Valour had Alpine Sierra (fourth) behind when he occupied the runner-up berth over C&D recently and it would be no surprise to see him confirm that form. However, LUMENBOURG looks the way to go. Julie Camacho's three-year-old produced a pleasing effort when hitting the crossbar in this grade at Redcar on his most recent start and a repeat of that effort might be good enough.
LUMENBOURG is a 3-y-o heading in the right direction and can prove too strong for Alpine Sierra and C&D specialist Jkr Cobbler.
Mighty Power is capable of a big run off his lowly turf mark but LUMENBOURG beat him at Doncaster and may do so again.
(6) Roaring Home 11/4, Out of a bumper winner and positive start in mares' events, running right up to best when runner-up at Southwell (15.8f) back in May. One to be interested in now attentions switch to hurdling. Made the frame in all three bumpers, last time when close second to a smart mare.
10
2nd (10) (10/3 -21%) Soleil D'arizona
3.333333
10/3(-21%)
(10) Soleil D'arizona 10/3, Fairly useful on Flat in France in 2023 (stays 12.5f), third in handicap at Saint-Cloud when last seen 12 months ago. Acquired by leading NH stable for €50,000 thereafter and she's well worth considering now starting out over hurdles. Won on the Flat in France last year; interesting recruit to hurdling for Dan Skelton.

3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) Definite Dream
4
4/1(+20%)
(2) Definite Dream 4/1, Maiden pointer. Shaped better than previously in this sphere equipped with a tongue tie when second of 10 in novice hurdle at Worcester (2m, good) 24 days ago, staying on gradually late on behind idling winner. Each-way claims again with a repeat. In frame all three hurdling starts but her form isn't anything to get too excited about.
1
4th (1) (25/1 -213%) Basilette
25
25/1(-213%)
(1) Basilette 25/1, Doyen filly who only had to run to a modest level to make a winning bumper debut last summer. Similar form and less-than-straightforward maiden on Flat, albeit not seen to best effect (blinkered) when fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 30 days ago. Hurdles debut. Won run-of-the-mill bumper last summer but 0-14 on the Flat in the meantime.
4
5th (4) (85/40 +65%) Mavis Pike
2.125
85/40(+65%)
(4) Mavis Pike 85/40, Fair form shown in bumpers and stepped up on her hurdles debut effort when third of 10 in mares' novice hurdle at Wincanton (15.2f, heavy) back in March, that despite making a hash of the last. Returns with her yard going great guns and she's fancied to feature. Placed on heavy ground in March; has a bit to find here but rain will aid her cause.
3
6th (3) (40/1 -186%) Hurst Hill
40
40/1(-186%)
(3) Hurst Hill 40/1, Arctic Cosmos mare who has finished placed on 2 of her 3 starts, third of 12 in novice hurdle at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) back in June. Shapes as though longer trips will suit however, and handicaps promise to be more her bag in this sphere. Third in two modest novice hurdles at Newton Abbot in spring; more is needed here.
7
7th (7) (80/1 -142%) As Fast As Wind
80
80/1(-142%)
(7) As Fast As Wind 80/1, Fair maiden on Flat in Ireland (stays 1½m) but well held on 3 of last 4 starts for Eoin Doyle this year. Likely best watched now starting out over hurdles for new yard with headgear discarded. Fair on the Flat at her best but has become disappointing this year; stable/hurdle debut.
8
8th (8) (250/1 -400%) Flyover
250
250/1(-400%)
(8) Flyover 250/1, Mount Nelson filly. Well held last of 11 on bumper debut at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in May and she looks best watched now attentions switch to hurdles for new stable. Tongue strap on 1st time. Tailed off in Newton Abbot bumper for Mitchell Hunt in May; new yard for hurdle career.
5
9th (5) (14/1 -40%) O'malley
14
14/1(-40%)
(5) O'malley 14/1, Looked to be struggling when brought down on home turn on bumper debut in March but offered something to work on in 2 starts since, third of 11 in bumper at Worcester (16f, good) 52 days ago. Makes hurdles debut but another who may need further to be seen at her best in due course. Respectable third in Worcester bumper in August but others have more compelling form.
14:58 Exeter Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The vote goes to ROARING HOME, who chased home the now 135-rated Gale Mahler in a bumper at Southwell in May. Those with hurdling experience do not set a particularly high standard, so given a clean round of jumping she might be tough to beat. Leloopa struck the woodwork at Newton Abbot recently and she's feared on the back of that performance, while others to note include Soleil D'arizona and Definite Dream.
ROARING HOME made a bright start in bumpers, running right up to her best when second at Southwell when last seen in May. She's very much the type to make her mark over hurdles and earns the vote on return to action. Fairly useful French recruit Soleil d'Arizona is another of interest now starting out over hurdles for Dan Skelton. Mavis Pike can emerge best of those with previous hurdles experience.
This can go to ROARING HOME, who pushed a subsequent Listed hurdle winner all the way to the line when second in a bumper in May.
(8) Skontonovski 8/1, Bit below form fourth of 16 in handicap (4/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, keeping on. Looks sure to give another good account. Beaten fav when 4th last week; more prolific on AW but shaping like his turn is near.
10
2nd (10) (5/2 +55%) Warazam
2.5
5/2(+55%)
(10) Warazam 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Produced best effort yet when second of 16 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Operating from a low base and worth considering with potential for better still. Struggled in maidens but major step forward when beaten 1l on h'cap bow and form boosted.
4
3rd (4) (12/1 -167%) Amemri
12
12/1(-167%)
(4) Amemri 12/1, 11/2, won 14-runner handicap at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago, leading entering final 1f and always holding on. Effective at this longer trip and she's another worth considering. Gained 4th Flat win at Listowel last month and return to 1m fine; 7lb rise on harsh side.
9
4th (9) (17/2 -6%) Dynamite Defense
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(9) Dynamite Defense 17/2, 12/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f) 13 days ago, hanging badly left final 1f and driven out. Wouldn't be sure to be in same form here on that evidence. Off the mark at 8th attempt on AW debut last month and 7lb rise okay; should go well.
7
5th (7) (14/1 +0%) Han Solo
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Han Solo 14/1, Infrequent winner but she did at least run respectably when fifth of 16 to Relevant Range in handicap at Listowel (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 17 days ago. Mark is steadily easing. Sole win since 2020 came in 7f h'cap a year from mark of 47; not beaten far in last 2 runs.
15
6th (15) (13/2 -8%) Church Mountain
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(15) Church Mountain 13/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 13 days ago, rallying final 1f. Reserve 1. Losing run but several good runs in defeat this term and on good mark at present; reserve.
2
7th (2) (13/2 -30%) Pink Socks
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(2) Pink Socks 13/2, One win from 24 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 16 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft, 11/2) 9 days ago, weakening final 1f having raced wider than ideal. Has good chance on pick of form. Belatedly off the mark on seasonal return; 2lb below that winning mark; each-way claims.
12
8th (12) (16/1 +0%) Dark Treat
16
16/1(+0%)
(12) Dark Treat 16/1, 66/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Clonmel (9.6f, good) 35 days ago, plugging on. Needs to pull out a lot more. Unplaced in 7 starts so far and has failed to progress since h'capping; plenty to prove.
5
9th (5) (8/1 +27%) Galician Girl
8
8/1(+27%)
(5) Galician Girl 8/1, 7/1, below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not ideally placed and not unduly punished. Still, balance of recent exploits suggest she needs to step up in any case. Sole win came on AW at start if year but out of form lately and wide draw against her.
13
10th (13) (66/1 -65%) Pegula
66
66/1(-65%)
(13) Pegula 66/1, Hooded for 1st time, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 40/1) 37 days ago. Others more persuasive. Showed little before promising return in July but struggled in 3 runs since; hard to fancy.
14
11th (14) (22/1 -10%) Poppadom
22
22/1(-10%)
(14) Poppadom 22/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Below form seventh of 16 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft, 16/1) 9 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 17-race maiden and well held behind a few of these at Cork last week; tough ask again here.
11
12th (11) (28/1 -40%) Chou Chou
28
28/1(-40%)
(11) Chou Chou 28/1, 12/1, creditable fourth of 8 in claimer at Killarney (8.2f, good) 85 days ago, plugging on having not been ideally placed. Not out of things on debut for new stable. 0-13; one of his better runs in claimer latest; doesn't look well treated and drawn wide.
1
13th (1) (16/1 -100%) Relevant Range
16
16/1(-100%)
(1) Relevant Range 16/1, Latest win at Listowel in September. Run best excused when tenth of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Cork (8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, not clear run from 3f out. Good pace to aim at will suit ideally. Gained second Flat win at Listowel last month; met interference from 8lb higher last week.
6
14th (6) (100/1 -150%) Brackloon Bay
100
100/1(-150%)
(6) Brackloon Bay 100/1, Modest form at best in 2 starts as a juvenile and she offered little starting out for new yard/after 10 months off when tenth of 11 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good) 19 days ago. Only confidence behind her in the betting would make her of interest now handicapping. Hood quickly discarded. Modest form in 3 maidens; low-key run on yard bow; tough ask on h'cap debut from stall 17.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A consistent performer in similar races all season, SKONTONOVSKI can strike for the first time since Fairyhouse in July. A six-time winner on the Polytrack at Dundalk, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding is rated 15lb lower on turf. Having finished behind a couple of these rivals in recent outings, the seven-year-old is weighted to reverse those form lines here. Listowel winner Amemri travelled easily in the box seat under Luke McAteer before picking up well to win cosily. David Marnane's filly is entitled to be a leading contender once again. Cork runner-up Warazam was just denied by a subsequent unlucky loser. Dylan Browne McMonagle stays loyal to the filly here so that should definitely be noted.
This has a wide-open feel but ASISAID has fallen to a workable mark and shaped as though the return to 1m would suit when staying on for sixth at Galway 4 weeks ago. He gets the nod ahead of Pink Socks, who appeals as being in better heart than recent form figures suggest. Low-mileage Warazam and Listowel scorer Amemri complete the dangers.
There was plenty to like about WARAZAM's h'cap debut at Cork last week and she's far less exposed than most in here
(2) Entrancement 7/2, Goes well in the mud and enhanced her fine Goodwood record when taking a 4-runner handicap over this trip under Oisin Murphy 15 days ago. Has a bit to find on form at this level but should have ground conditions in her favour. Has earned a crack at this level but she'll need a career best by some margin.
6
2nd (6) (5/1 +17%) Marie's Rock
5
5/1(+17%)
(6) Marie's Rock 5/1, Really smart hurdler at her peak who ran to a very useful level when fifth of 10 in 1¾m York Group 3 on her belated Flat debut in May. Presumably using this as a prep ahead of a return to hurdles but the York form puts her bang there. Smart hurdler and ran well in a Group 3 at York in May on belated Flat debut.
8
3rd (8) (4/1 +11%) Forest Fairy
4
4/1(+11%)
(8) Forest Fairy 4/1, Waldgeist filly who won her first 2 starts, notably beating subsequent Ribblesdale winner Port Fairy in the Cheshire Oaks. Well below that level in the Oaks at Epsom and Lancashire Oaks at Haydock over the summer but no shock were she to bounce back to form with a bang after a break. Chester form brings her into it and she could well approve of this softer ground.
9
4th (9) (3/1 +10%) Fairy Glen
3
3/1(+10%)
(9) Fairy Glen 3/1, Progressive filly who has placed at listed level on her last 2 starts, latterly narrowly denied at Longchamp on her first attempt at 1¾m. A soft surface would be an unknown but it's likely she has more to offer. Narrowly missed out in a French Listed last time over this far; on the upgrade.
5
5th (5) (5/1 +50%) Loughville
5
5/1(+50%)
(5) Loughville 5/1, Course winner in April who added a third win of a productive campaign when seeing off 8 rivals over 1½m at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Each-way claims if her stamina holds. Should have to raise the bar higher at this level and stamina isn't a given over this far.
11
6th (11) (66/1 -267%) Sinology
66
66/1(-267%)
(11) Sinology 66/1, Won a 1¼m Newbury maiden (good to soft) in April but has come up well short at Group 3 level since. This is a slight drop in grade but still tough to make a good case for. Beaten between 6.5l and 10l in a trio of Group races since winning a 1m2f maiden.
1
7th (1) (28/1 -133%) Drawn To Dream
28
28/1(-133%)
(1) Drawn To Dream 28/1, Useful filly at her best and back from a quiet spell during the summer when second of 3 to Quickthorn in a Salisbury conditions race 4 weeks ago, albeit flattered by her proximity to the winner. Below par of late and latest second came in a three-runner race won by a long odds-on fav.
3
8th (3) (66/1 -65%) Juana Ines
66
66/1(-65%)
(3) Juana Ines 66/1, Given time after a disappointing reappearance at Goodwood in May and bounced back with a creditable fourth at Kempton last month. Hasn't done anything to date to think she's quite up to this level, though. French winner; opposable on that form and on what she's shown in Britain.
4
9th (4) (14/1 -320%) Lmay
14
14/1(-320%)
(4) Lmay 14/1, Third in the Park Hill at Doncaster on good to soft last year and ran a cracker when second in the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot in June. Latest fourth in a German Group 2 was also creditable and she has the form to figure. One of her better runs in a German Group 2 last time and big player at the weights.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Lmay sets the standard on official ratings and is respected, but she has yet to score at this level and might have to settle for a minor placing. Fairy Glen was narrowly denied in a similar event at Longchamp recently and another bold bid looks likely, but it is FOREST FAIRY that shades preference. Off the track since failing to fire in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock, she looks certain to appreciate an ease in grade and it would come as no surprise were she to bounce back.
FAIRY GLEN should have more to come as her stamina is drawn out and it's worth taking a chance that she can cope with ground that is likely to be much softer than she's faced previously. Dual Grade 1 hurdle winner Marie's Rock showed very useful form on her Flat debut back in May and is second choice ahead of Lmay. It also wouldn't come as a surprise to see Forest Fairy resume her progression with her sights lowered after a break.
With Ralph Beckett's yard on a high it could be worth chancing FOREST FAIRY. This softer ground could be what she's after.
(1) Savante 8/11, Looked a good prospect when making a winning bumper debut at Punchestown in June. Dropped away tamely at Killarney the following month but is still an interesting hurdling debutante. Impressive winner of strong Punchestown bumper but bombed out next time; hurdles debut.
3
2nd (3) (5/2 -33%) Cool Park
2.5
5/2(-33%)
(3) Cool Park 5/2, Pulled up sole outing in bumpers but showed much more switched to hurdling when third of 14 in 3m maiden at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Open to improvement and has leading claims. Keen when third to useful sort on hurdling debut at Wexford; drop back from 3m may suit.
9
3rd (9) (80/1 -21%) Vroomvroomboo
80
80/1(-21%)
(9) Vroomvroomboo 80/1, Poor in bumpers and well held on Limerick hurdle debut. Showed ability in Downpatrick bumperin May but well beaten in hurdle/bumper since.
8
4th (8) (200/1 +0%) Siul Molly Siul
200
200/1(+0%)
(8) Siul Molly Siul 200/1, Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles. Up in trip. Tailed off in two maidens.
10
5th (10) (25/1 -25%) Weir Lane
25
25/1(-25%)
(10) Weir Lane 25/1, Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles under Rules. Off the mark in points at sixth attempt in October 2023. Took her eight goes to win a point and been off a year; best watched on Rules debut.
4
6th (4) (9/1 -227%) Jana Colombe
9
9/1(-227%)
(4) Jana Colombe 9/1, Ran to only a modest level when fifth of 13 in bumper at Sligo (18.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 121 days ago. In good hands and could do better now switched to hurdles. Beaten 22l in Sligo bumper; half-sister to Gerri Colombe should improve over obstacles.
11
7th (11) (14/1 -17%) Principle Charge
14
14/1(-17%)
(11) Principle Charge 14/1, Jet Away filly. Sister to fairly useful hurdler Donnacha. Third sole start in points (Apr 28). The standard set isn't all that high and she requires a market check. Sister to hurdle winner was placed in point; looks second-string for Colm Murphy.
5
8th (5) (200/1 +0%) Kipeen Lady
200
200/1(+0%)
(5) Kipeen Lady 200/1, Unpromising in points and fared no better on her Wexford hurdle debut at the end of August. Poor pointer was tailed off on Rules debut at Wexford.
7
9th (7) (125/1 -89%) Positive Mindset
125
125/1(-89%)
(7) Positive Mindset 125/1, Well held both starts in bumpers, though hinted at ability on debut. Makes hurdles debut up in trip. Mare's half-brother won hurdle here in April but she's been well held in two bumpers.
2
|U| (2) (66/1 +0%) Youre A Derry Girl
66
66/1(+0%)
(2) Youre A Derry Girl 66/1, Fair bumper winner but ran poorly on most recent outing in that sphere and got no further than the first on her Cork hurdle debut back in May 2023. Well held in winners' contests since winning Cork bumper at 50s last summer.
6
|PU| (6) (7/1 +42%) Love Like This
7
7/1(+42%)
(6) Love Like This 7/1, Modest maiden hurdler who ran only respectably when third of 8 in 17f maiden at Killarney (soft) 4 days ago. Rated 97, placed for third time at Killarney on Sunday; place claims at best again here.
15:15 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SAVANTE looked a useful mare when landing a Punchestown bumper on debut in June. The form of that race has received a number of boosts recently with the third, Aruntothequeen, landing a Listed bumper at Gowran last week and the fourth (Sansrisk) easily winning a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on Monday. She subsequently disappointed at Killarney but hopefully can bounce back switching to hurdles. Cool Park rates an obvious threat and may have found 3m too far when third to World Of Fortunes (won again since) at Wexford in August, while Love Like This has plenty of experience over hurdles and was placed again at Killarney last Sunday.
COOL PARK made a promising enough start over hurdles when third at Wexford nearly 6 weeks ago and looks the one to beat with improvement on the cards. Savante disappointed at Killarney last time but created a favourable impression on her debut at Punchestown and is an interesting hurdling debutante in the context of this race. Jana Colombe ran to only a modest level in a Sligo bumper but could show more now switched to obstacles.
Impressive in a decent Punchestown bumper, SAVANTE bombed out next time but is taken to leave that run behind on hurdling debut
(7) Rousing Encore 11/1, Good second of 9 in C&D handicap (good, 13/2) 9 days ago. Needs considering from an unchanged mark. Three good runs for Ruth Carr, the latest over C&D last week; contender off same mark.
6
2nd (6) (9/2 +0%) Abduction
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(6) Abduction 9/2, Course winner. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (5/2) at this course (7f, good) 9 days ago. 2nd in this race last year off 7lb higher; good 2nd here last week (7f); should run well.
4
3rd (4) (9/2 +40%) Rock Opera
4.5
9/2(+40%)
(4) Rock Opera 9/2, Latest win at Doncaster in June. Below form tenth of 22 in Silver Cup over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago. Can make more of an impact here. Not at best the last twice but in stronger races; handy mark; wouldn't want rain.
1
4th (1) (4/1 +20%) Mythical Phoenix
4
4/1(+20%)
(1) Mythical Phoenix 4/1, Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 33 days ago but had been running well prior to that. Not the type to stay down for long. Banging the door down for this yard and conditions will be fine; looks sure to go well.
3
5th (3) (20/1 -67%) Diamondonthehill
20
20/1(-67%)
(3) Diamondonthehill 20/1, 40/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (1m, good to firm) 19 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. On feasible mark but this is a rare 6f run and others may prove sharper; cheekpieces back.
9
6th (9) (17/2 -55%) Hour By Hour
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(9) Hour By Hour 17/2, On a hat-trick after pair of 6f wins at Hamilton last month. A 5 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop him. Chasing a hat-trick after two Hamilton wins; penalised against stronger opposition.
2
7th (2) (11/2 +21%) Almarada Prince
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(2) Almarada Prince 11/2, 12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Needs to get back to the form he showed when runner-up at York in June. Yet to win this year but retains plenty of ability and this is a marked drop in class.
11
8th (11) (22/1 -159%) Mattice
22
22/1(-159%)
(11) Mattice 22/1, 9/2, caught wide when fifth of 9 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Came good last autumn and is handicapped to strike again. Handicapped to win but perhaps over 5f and in a lower grade.
8
9th (8) (33/1 -136%) Be Proud
33
33/1(-136%)
(8) Be Proud 33/1, C&D winner, including this race 12 months ago. Recent efforts below par but has dipped to 1 lb below the mark he defied last year. No shock were he to bounce back to form with a bang. On a winning mark and should make a bold bid to repeat his 2023 win in this race.
10
10th (10) (50/1 -257%) Iris Dancer
50
50/1(-257%)
(10) Iris Dancer 50/1, Latest win at Carlisle in July. Seventh of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 18 days ago. Back on a good mark but need to see more. Form dipped on last three starts; dangerous mark but others look more persuasive.
5
11th (5) (11/2 +45%) The Caltonian
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(5) The Caltonian 11/2, 8/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at this course (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Tudhope a good jockey booking. Yet to win on turf but he's run some good races here this year and 6f looks his best trip.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Hour By Hour impressed when scoring comfortably over this trip at Hamilton last month and he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for the consistent MYTHICAL PHOENIX. He has built up enough credit to suggest he is well worth another chance following his latest fifth at Thirsk and, eased 1lb in the weights, he looks the one to be with. Abduction is also noteworthy.
HOUR BY HOUR did it convincingly at Hamilton last week so a 5 lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent him going in again. The well-treated Mattice is feared most ahead of Rousing Encore and Abduction.
Plenty of possibles but the class-dropping ALMARADA PRINCE could be the answer. Mythical Phoenix is feared most.
(3) Opening Bid 6/5, Cheekpieces on for 1st time when a good fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good) 29 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark so a player in his bid to repeat last year's success. Won this race in 2023 and returns here after two decent efforts; leading contender.
5
2nd (5) (7/1 -75%) Kauto The King
7
7/1(-75%)
(5) Kauto The King 7/1, Ungenuine type but he scored at Newton Abbot in August and wasn't disgraced when fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, good) 18 days ago. Not ruled out. Dug deep at Newton Abbot in August, his tenth chase win, and is still on a workable mark.
2
3rd (2) (7/2 +0%) Hystery Bere
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(2) Hystery Bere 7/2, Fairly useful hurdles scorer who made a winning start in this sphere in 4-runner handicap at Warwick over a year ago. Mixed record since and pulled up at Uttoxeter when last seen out in May. Tongue strap and cheekpieces go back on. Pulled up on latest outing in May but returns from break on good mark; headgear switched.
1
4th (1) (7/2 -17%) Cat Tiger
3.5
7/2(-17%)
(1) Cat Tiger 7/2, Useful chaser at his best and, while not the force of old, his latest second at Stratford in May was a positive step. Not ruled out now back with Paul Nicholls after a break with tongue strap refitted. Second in two hunter chases in the spring; on tempting mark for handicap return.
4
|F| (4) (16/1 +11%) Dorrells Pierji
16
16/1(+11%)
(4) Dorrells Pierji 16/1, Veteran who scored twice over hurdles Dan Skelton in 2022. Won 5 times in points between April and June this year but found life tougher in Worcester handicap chases in recent weeks. Won five points in the spring; ran okay under rules in August but disappointed last month.
15:33 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 3) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Having posted some creditable efforts in defeat in hunter chases earlier in the year, CAT TIGER could be worth chancing back under the tutelage of Paul Nicholls. The veteran has been given some respite from the handicapper and another victory could be on the cards. Opening Bid landed last year's edition of this contest off a 2lb higher mark and a recent fifth at Worcester should have him spot on for a repeat. The nine-year-old is feared most, ahead of Kauto The King.
OPENING BID took this 12 months ago and another bold showing looks on the cards given he can race off a 2 lb lower mark than when a good recent Worcester fifth. Cat Tiger could emerge as the main danger, with fellow veteran Kauto The King also not discounted in his current mood.
Cat Tiger looks interesting back in a handicap but OPENING BID is also on a good mark now, and he is taken to win this race again.
(1) Londonofficecallin 5/6, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (11/2) at Down Royal (12.8f, soft) 10 days ago. Up 9 lb but she scored comfortably there so is a player on his first run for yard after leaving Eric McNamara. Up 9lb for recent Down Royal win but rider's claim offsets much of that; big player.
10
2nd (10) (11/1 +45%) Tastyee
11
11/1(+45%)
(10) Tastyee 11/1, 18/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.4f, soft) 64 days ago. Not taken lightly. Entitled to come on for Sligo comeback run but others preferred.
13
3rd (13) (14/1 -27%) Fine Print
14
14/1(-27%)
(13) Fine Print 14/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Navan (14f, good) 19 days ago. Needs considering. Didn't get home over stiffer Navan track latest and now drops in trip.
12
4th (12) (40/1 -21%) Action Motion
40
40/1(-21%)
(12) Action Motion 40/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Listowel (18f, soft) 15 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. 0-19 on the Flat; blinkers now tried after poor Listowel hurdles effort last time.
5
5th (5) (5/1 -11%) Dumb Love
5
5/1(-11%)
(5) Dumb Love 5/1, 5/1, landed 12-runner novice hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) 17 days ago, driven clear. One to note back on the level. Recent hurdles winner untried over this far on the Flat.
4
6th (4) (16/1 +36%) Evolving
16
16/1(+36%)
(4) Evolving 16/1, 33/1, sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, soft) 50 days ago. Back up in trip. Poor on last Flat outing so has work to do. Ordinary maiden hurdle form over the summer and opposable back on the level here.
11
7th (11) (33/1 -32%) Hopkins
33
33/1(-32%)
(11) Hopkins 33/1, Last of 16 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good, 14/1) 39 days ago. Merits consideration if back on her A-game. Dropped out quickly at Tipperary latest so caution advised.
9
8th (9) (10/1 -11%) Steps In The Sand
10
10/1(-11%)
(9) Steps In The Sand 10/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago, left poorly placed. Can give a good account. Penultimate Flat run at Tipperary was a solid one and place prospects here.
3
9th (3) (12/1 -20%) Silkies Sib
12
12/1(-20%)
(3) Silkies Sib 12/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in June. 10/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at Galway (12f, good) 30 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well held over 1m4f at Galway last time and stamina doubts persist.
6
10th (6) (33/1 -65%) Randall Poets Lass
33
33/1(-65%)
(6) Randall Poets Lass 33/1, Ninth of 17 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Up in trip. Modest on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Twice placed in maidens over 1m; another attempting this trip for the first time.
2
11th (2) (18/1 -350%) Scott Lang
18
18/1(-350%)
(2) Scott Lang 18/1, Eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 5/1) 142 days ago. Fair on the Flat so he's very much one to consider off a handy-looking mark. Back from a break but good Roscommon run in the Spring puts him in the mix.
7
12th (7) (25/1 +24%) Pegasus Of Harry
25
25/1(+24%)
(7) Pegasus Of Harry 25/1, Fair fourth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 18/1), needing stiffer test. Off 103 days. First run for yard after leaving Marco Botti and not ruled out. AW winner for Marco Botti; probably best watched on yard debut.
14
13th (14) (33/1 -32%) Daniels Dream
33
33/1(-32%)
(14) Daniels Dream 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in maiden at Roscommon (12.1f, soft, 125/1) 38 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Hard to make a case for on maiden form, poor run over this trip last time.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Down Royal winner LONDONOFFICECALLIN could still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Raised 9lb for that recent victory, the gelding, who is having his first start for Gavin Cromwell, scored with a bit in hand. Wayne Hassett takes 5lb off here, which should greatly ease the task. On a tight track that suits a prominent racer, one would expect the seven-year-old to force the pace. Dual all-weather winner Steps In The Sand has yet to win on grass on the Flat but has twice been successful over jumps. Undoubtedly well handicapped in this discipline, the Cian Collins-trained filly has every chance. Scott Lang is also worthy of consideration under a very promising young 10lb claimer.
LONDONOFFICECALLIN starts out with Gavin Cromwell on the back of a ready Down Royal victory and is fancied to make light of a 9 lb hike in the weights. Scott Lang returns to this sphere on an attractive mark so could emerge as the main danger ahead of Tastyee and Pegasus of Harry.
Recent Down Royal winner LONDONOFFICECALLIN can follow up on his first start for Gavin Cromwell
(8) Tap Dancer 11/4, Ran respectably under a change of tactics when third of 10 in maiden (4/1) at this course (8f, good) 26 days ago. Upped in trip and that could eke out some further progress. Recent thirds (close up) have been over 1m at Goodwood (soft) and here (good).
6
2nd (6) (5/1 +44%) King Kernow
5
5/1(+44%)
(6) King Kernow 5/1, 25/1, showed a lot more than first time up when 2 lengths second of 10 to Super Mirage in maiden at this course (8f, good) 26 days ago, albeit no match for winner (said to have lost a shoe). Up in trip. Lost a shoe when going down by 2l to Super Mirage over 1m here last month.
4
3rd (4) (6/1 +76%) Hi Ya Mal
6
6/1(+76%)
(4) Hi Ya Mal 6/1, 11/1, looked badly in need of the experience when last of 13 in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 34 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip. Always behind and trailed home last at Kempton; well bred and should do better.
5
4th (5) (7/2 +61%) Chambers
3.5
7/2(+61%)
(5) Chambers 7/2, Offered something to work on when fourth of 12 in novice at this course (8f, soft, 66/1) on debut 9 days ago. Bred to need time and distance, he should have more to offer. Looked threatening before backing out of it over 1m here nine days ago (heavy).
2
5th (2) (5/2 -25%) Marbush
2.5
5/2(-25%)
(2) Marbush 5/2, Progressed again after 8 weeks off when won 9-runner novice at Kempton (8f, 5/2) 51 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Upped in trip. From a good family and will go on improving, so he's high on the shortlist under a penalty. Returning from a similar break when too strong for the favourite in a 1m novice at Kempton.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FAR FROM DANDY kept on powerfully to score over the mile at Yarmouth three weeks ago. With the step up in trip and differing ground conditions unlikely to be an issue, George Boughey's colt can defy the penalty en route to further success. Super Mirage comfortably defeated King Kernow (second) here on his debut and can confirm his superiority over that rival. Hi Ya Mal is another who merits consideration.
Several of these are open to improvement now stepping up in trip and the 3 previous winners look the ones to focus on, MARBUSH selected to take another step forward and take her record to 2-4. Second choice is Far From Dandy, who had clearly learnt plenty from his debut when getting off the mark in good style at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Course winner Super Mirage can edge out sole filly Tap Dancer for minor honours.
Marbush may prove best of the penalised winners but TAP DANCER is getting lots of weight as a filly.
(4) Rampere West 4/1, Built on earlier promise upped in trip on his handicap debut when winning 13-runner event at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft, 20/1) 41 days ago, driven clear. Likely to improve. 20-1 winner on handicap debut over this trip at Wexford in August; now 9lb higher.
5
2nd (5) (15/2 +25%) Serienmond
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(5) Serienmond 15/2, Tenth of 15 in maiden hurdle at this course (16.6f, good to soft, 18/1) 53 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut and could well prove a different proposition. Dual Flat winner in Germany has run ok in maidens and could be well treated on h'cap bow.
3
3rd (3) (7/1 +72%) Brianna Lily
7
7/1(+72%)
(3) Brianna Lily 7/1, Wasn't disgraced when fifth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good, 14/1) 43 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Patrick T. Foley. Bumper and 3m hurdle winner for Pat Foley; fifth in claimer over this trip at Bellewstown.
2
4th (2) (5/2 +25%) Ta Na La
2.5
5/2(+25%)
(2) Ta Na La 5/2, Winner in hurdle at Bellewstown in July. 15/2, shaped well when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.6f, good) 22 days ago, left with too much to do. Back up in trip. Shortlist material. Maiden winner over this trip and 2m was too sharp when she was second here last time.
6
5th (6) (5/1 -11%) Loup De Tallane
5
5/1(-11%)
(6) Loup De Tallane 5/1, Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in September. Unseated rider first in handicap chase (12/1) at Listowel (19.4f, soft) on debut over fences 13 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back to form when winning readily over 2m3f at Kilbeggan, now 8lb higher; early exit since.
1
6th (1) (6/1 -9%) Reflectionist
6
6/1(-9%)
(1) Reflectionist 6/1, 28/1, given a considerate return from a 14-month break when thirteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) 73 days ago. Up in trip. Hood back on and seems likely to be closer to form here back up in trip. Big improver for this yard last year; after 16 months off, well held at Galway festival.
8
|PU| (8) (12/1 -33%) Monty's Way
12
12/1(-33%)
(8) Monty's Way 12/1, Caused a surprise having failed to complete on his last 3 starts when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good, 40/1) when last seen 5 months ago. 6 lb rise to contend with and heads back up in trip. Formerly useful on the Flat; big-priced winner over 2m1f at Ballinrobe in May, off since.
7
|RO| (7) (16/1 -60%) Kalanisi Dubh
16
16/1(-60%)
(7) Kalanisi Dubh 16/1, Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel last December. 10/3, proved to be a disappointment when tailed-off eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy). Off 8 months. Likely she'll need this outing. Dual winner over shorter trips on winter ground; not seen since January and might need it.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TA NA LA was placed numerous times both on the Flat and over hurdles before scoring in good style over this trip at Bellewstown. The Ted Walsh-trained mare again advertised her claims when finishing strongly over an inadequate 2m here last month. Rampere West rates a threat having won over 2m4f at Wexford, while Loup De Tallane beat Beechroad Winnie by eight lengths over a similar trip at Kilbeggan last month but exited at the first subsequently over fences at Listowel. Reflectionist easily won twice over 2m3f last year but was then absent for 14 months until soundly beaten at the Galway Festival.
TA NA LA arrives in the form of her life and having shaped well with a return to 2½m in mind when runner-up here last month, Ted Walsh's 5-y-o earns the vote at the expense of Rampere West, who built on earlier promise upped in trip to cause a surprise on handicap debut just less than 6 weeks ago and can kick on again despite a hefty rise. Reflectionist and Loup de Tallane can do battle for third.
A dual Flat winner for Peter Schiergen in Germany, SERIENMOND will need to settle better to get the trip but could be on a nice mark
(9) Graecia 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 3 days ago, ridden over 2f out and weakening. Worth noting if the market speaks in her favour turned out quickly. Low-key run at Pontefract on Monday; drops in trip with a good apprentice booked.
7
2nd (7) (7/1 +13%) Cancan In The Rain
7
7/1(+13%)
(7) Cancan In The Rain 7/1, Afforded a chance by the handicapper and encouraging efforts of late, second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago, no match for winner. Not had many goes at 7f and he's worth considering back on turf. Good 2nd to a handicap blot at Southwell 11 days ago; 3lb well in; not sure to back it up.
11
3rd (11) (14/1 -40%) Novak
14
14/1(-40%)
(11) Novak 14/1, C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 9 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Clearly lurking on a handy mark but his losing run does temper enthusiasm. Unplaced in Class 6 events over C&D the last twice; needs to raise his game to win.
13
4th (13) (11/2 +39%) John L Sullivan
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(13) John L Sullivan 11/2, Winner at Wetherby in June. Creditable third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/1) 9 days ago, losing second dying strides. Can give a good account again kept to this trip. 1m win at Wetherby in June and he was an eyecatching 3rd over C&D last week; on good mark.
5
5th (5) (17/2 +29%) Prairie Falcon
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(5) Prairie Falcon 17/2, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form 6½ lengths sixth of 11 to Jenni in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, keeping on without landing a blow off a steady gallop. Still, he remains a difficult sort to win with. On a losing run and he hasn't built on his promising seasonal reappearance; yard run three.
1
6th (1) (9/1 +25%) Abruzzo Mia
9
9/1(+25%)
(1) Abruzzo Mia 9/1, Latest win at Thirsk in July. 14/1, creditable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, keeping on until last ½f. Rider takes off a handy 7 lb which can aid his cause back in class 5 company. Not fired the last twice but drops in class today and this year's best gives him a shout.
2
7th (2) (15/2 -173%) Maxi Boy
7.5
15/2(-173%)
(2) Maxi Boy 15/2, Slipped to a career-low mark and capitalised on the drop in grade to land 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 18/1) 9 days ago, leading entering final 1f and going clear. Goes unpenalised for that and he makes obvious appeal partnered by the same promising apprentice. Came from off the pace to win easily at Newcastle latest (7f); no penalty and 6lb well in.
4
8th (4) (28/1 -75%) Surprise Picture
28
28/1(-75%)
(4) Surprise Picture 28/1, Enhanced his good record at Wolverhampton with a visor refitted in 6-runner handicap (7f) in September. Exploits mixed in pair of starts at that venue more recently and it's been a while since he defied a mark this high. Not at his best last time and opposable returned to turf.
10
9th (10) (9/2 +44%) Jenni
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(10) Jenni 9/2, Career best when shedding maiden tag in 11-runner C&D handicap on penultimate start. Not in same form when last of 6 returned to this venue 9 days ago and she appeals as a likely type to bounce back. C&D win last month but not so good last week; career best required to win.
3
10th (3) (33/1 -106%) Spun To Gold
33
33/1(-106%)
(3) Spun To Gold 33/1, Fairly useful form for Andrew Balding, running up to best when third at Kempton (7f) in June. Below best on final start later that month but gelded/changed hands for £36,000 thereafter and interesting what the market makes of him. Down in class for this stable debut but he has a three-month absence to contend with.
8
11th (8) (14/1 -133%) Sparkling Red
14
14/1(-133%)
(8) Sparkling Red 14/1, Tumbled down the weights since the turn of the year and ended losing run in 12-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 24 days ago, on just her second start at the trip. Remains with handicapping scope on old form and she's another to note. Revived by step up to 7f; 5lb rise for Thirsk win asks more but well treated on 2023 form.
6
12th (6) (15/2 +6%) Yaaser
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(6) Yaaser 15/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. 12/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 9 days ago, left poorly placed. In with a definite shout granted a good gallop to aim at. Course win (1m) last month and also ran well here last week; feasible mark; shortlisted.
12
13th (12) (40/1 -186%) American Star
40
40/1(-186%)
(12) American Star 40/1, Latest win at Chester (7f) in July. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) 17 days ago, racing off the pace and merely closing up late. Operating 2 lb below last winning mark if he can bounce back. Should be well treated but he's been up and down this year and others look safer.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MAXI BOY bounced right back to form when scoring with the minimum of fuss over this trip at Newcastle last week and, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice handicap, he may prove tough to stop. A 5lb rise for fellow last-time-out winner Sparkling Red shouldn't prevent another bold bid, while each-way players may look the way of Yaaser.
MAXI BOY has slipped to a career-low mark and benefited from a well-judged ride as he ended a losing run at Newcastle 9 days ago, going clear inside final 1f. Escaping a penalty for that success, he's given the nod to back that up with Tom Kiely-Marshall again in the plate. Cancan In The Rain has fallen to a handy mark and is feared, as is Thirsk-scorer Sparkling Red, who remains unexposed at this sort of trip.
Sparkling Red is unexposed at 7f and remains of interest but JOHN L SULLIVAN looks better than his mark and can pounce late.
(6) Star Of Affinity 13/2, Let down by jumping when last seen at Stratford in May but had shown promise over hurdles prior to that, including when third at this course (18.5f) in April. Tongue strap on first time/had wind operation. Not out of things. Kept on for modest third here in April but absent since poor run the following month.
10
2nd (10) (10/3 +87%) Penna Rossa
3.333333
10/3(+87%)
(10) Penna Rossa 10/3, Sole success came at Sandown in 2022 and well below that form in a trio of starts this term. Handicap has reacted accordingly, however, and he is worth a second look in the market on debut for new yard. Out of form in early part of this season but makes stable debut from a very good mark.
14
3rd (14) (14/1 -17%) Far Away West
14
14/1(-17%)
(14) Far Away West 14/1, Returned to form, from 5 lb out of the handicap, when good fourth of 15 at Stratford (18.7f, good) 33 days ago. 2 lb lower now and warrants respect. Ran well in selling handicap last month but this season's record is rather mixed.
9
4th (9) (7/1 +0%) Stage Show
7
7/1(+0%)
(9) Stage Show 7/1, Fair maiden on Flat who found improvement in this sphere when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) 20 days ago. Claims if building on that. Fair Flat racer when on song and ran well when fourth on recent handicap hurdle debut.
11
5th (11) (6/1 -20%) Bluebella
6
6/1(-20%)
(11) Bluebella 6/1, Landed a Worcester handicap (16f) last year and back to that sort of form when creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, good) 29 days ago. One of likelier contenders. Took good step back in right direction when fourth last month; player if ground stays good.
15
6th (15) (14/1 +0%) Miss Marette
14
14/1(+0%)
(15) Miss Marette 14/1, C&D winner this time last year but been more miss than hit since, including when well beaten on chase debut at Worcester 43 days ago. Something to prove back hurdling here. C&D winner last October but seems to have lost her way this year.
3
7th (3) (4/1 0%) Jo's Rainbow
4
4/1(0%)
(3) Jo's Rainbow 4/1, Fair 10f winner on Flat for Karl Burke and appears to be gradually getting the hang of things over hurdles, making the frame on last 3 starts, latest when fourth of 11 in Worcester handicap (20f, good) last month. Remains open to improvement in this sphere. 0-5 over hurdles but shaped well when fourth in her first two handicaps (2m/2m4f).
16
8th (16) (40/1 -21%) Too Sharp
40
40/1(-21%)
(16) Too Sharp 40/1, Modest maiden hurdler who failed to improve on switch to handicaps at Fontwell last month. Hard to fancy. Ran better than bare form suggests on recent handicap debut but still needs to improve.
2
9th (2) (25/1 -108%) Baikal
25
25/1(-108%)
(2) Baikal 25/1, Dual winner over hurdles for Adam West in 2023 but yet to get his head in front this year and made little impact on first start for new yard on level 9 days ago. Placed off 2lb higher for Adam West in July; ground excuse on recent stable debut (Flat).
1
|F| (1) (12/1 -50%) Pak Army
12
12/1(-50%)
(1) Pak Army 12/1, In good form on Flat and over hurdles during summer but below form more recently, no match for principals when fourth of 9 in handicap at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good, 12/1) latest. Cheekpieces back on. Placed twice over hurdles since emphatic Flat win in May; holds each-way claims again.
8
|F| (8) (100/1 -400%) Stray Bullet
100
100/1(-400%)
(8) Stray Bullet 100/1, Fair winner on Flat in France but well held on his completed start over timber for this yard. Sent handicap hurdling, back from 7 months off, and is likely best watched. Struggled in three juvenile hurdles last autumn; off since heavy Flat defeat in February.
13
10th (13) (50/1 -213%) Sindri
50
50/1(-213%)
(13) Sindri 50/1, Maiden on the Flat and too free all 3 hurdles starts. Likely best watched on handicap debut for new yard. Makes stable/handicap hurdle debut from a lowly mark but significant improvement is needed.
17
11th (17) (16/1 -33%) Deal Em High
16
16/1(-33%)
(17) Deal Em High 16/1, Returned to form, in first time cheekpieces/tongue strap when creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Bangor (16.7f, good) 34 days ago. Remains to be seen if he can back that up here. 1 lb out of the weights. 66-1 third in today's headgear combination last month; now needs to build on that effort.
12
12th (12) (14/1 +58%) Escobedo
14
14/1(+58%)
(12) Escobedo 14/1, Won on final start for Milton Harris at Sedgefield this time last year but largely disappointed since and makes limited appeal on debut for new yard here. Cheekpieces back on. Well beaten on last two outings; needs to have been perked up by latest stable switch.
4
13th (4) (50/1 -213%) African Lady
50
50/1(-213%)
(4) African Lady 50/1, Showed ability in maiden hurdles for Gavin Cromwell earlier this year but has proved disappointing in a couple of runs for new connections thus far and is now tried in blinkers. Showed promise in Irish maiden hurdles but safely held in both handicaps for new stable.
18
14th (18) (150/1 -200%) Boudica Warrior
150
150/1(-200%)
(18) Boudica Warrior 150/1, Fair maiden at best on the Flat but hasn't replicated that over hurdles as yet and looks set for another struggle from out of the weights. Has not shown a great deal over hurdles or on the Flat since joining current stable.
5
15th (5) (25/1 -108%) Kintaro
25
25/1(-108%)
(5) Kintaro 25/1, Ran below previous form on both handicap outings over timber, latest over this trip at Worcester last month. Bit to prove now. Placed in two novice hurdles in June but safely held in first two handicaps.
7
|PU| (7) (16/1 -45%) Mr Zee
16
16/1(-45%)
(7) Mr Zee 16/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat, successful 3 times last year. Still looking for first success in this discipline, however, and arrives on back of poor effort on level. This summer's Flat form is underwhelming but Harry Cobden is booked for this hurdle return.
16:08 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Having found 2m4f stretching her stamina when weakening into fourth at Worcester last month, JO'S RAINBOW makes plenty of appeal returning to 2m. Dan Skelton's filly still looks nicely treated given her ability on the Flat and a first victory over hurdles could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Stage Show, who offered plenty of encouragement when fourth on his handicap bow at Newton Abbot 20 days ago. Market confidence behind stable debutants Penna Rossa or Escobedo should be noted.
Preference is for JO'S RAINBOW, who shaped better than the bare result at Worcester last month and will appreciate the drop back in trip. Bluebella and Far Away West head the list of dangers.
A speculative option to consider is PENNA ROSSA, who has been given a very good chance by the handicapper before this stable debut.
(1) Autumn Winter 4/6, Lightly-raced maiden. Good seventh of 19 in handicap (17/2) at Royal Ascot (12f, firm), nearest finish. Off 112 days. Yard having good spell. Interesting. Absent since Ascot in June; big drop in class and could well have more to offer.
4
2nd (4) (17/2 -42%) Dark Oak
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(4) Dark Oak 17/2, Winner at Galway in September. Good ½-length second of 9 to Granite Bay in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft, 16/1) 16 days ago. Well in the mix again. Just outstayed by Granite Bay at Listowel; 2lb better off and shorter trip to suit.
3
3rd (3) (6/1 -9%) Messerschmitt
6
6/1(-9%)
(3) Messerschmitt 6/1, Course winner. 28/1, creditable 4 lengths fifth of 9 to Granite Bay in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Bit to find with Granite Bay on Listowel run but can't rule out.
5
4th (5) (9/2 +36%) Gangster Granny
4.5
9/2(+36%)
(5) Gangster Granny 9/2, Winner at Limerick in June. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, soft, 9/2) 10 days ago. Shortlisted. Staying on late in handicaps recently; may want a bit further.
6
5th (6) (12/1 -41%) Lagoon Nebula
12
12/1(-41%)
(6) Lagoon Nebula 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, third of 9 in maiden at Listowel (12f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Yard having good spell. Makes handicap debut. Should continue to give a good account. Lightly raced maiden with more to offer; this looks quite competitive for handicap debut.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Seventh in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, AUTUMN WINTER should make the most of this drop in grade. Staying on strongly having been short of room at a crucial stage that day, the three-year-old gave the impression he had more to offer. Only 4lb higher than for his recent Listowel win, Granite Bay should have every chance. The Jarlath Fahey-trained gelding is a thorough stayer who will appreciate a strongly run race. Dark Oak, runner-up in that aforementioned Listowel race, should get closer to her conqueror on these revised terms. Gary Carroll may well decide to make the running on the El Kabeir filly.
Aidan O'Brien's AUTUMN WINTER hasn't been seen out since Royal Ascot but looks to have more to offer after his break and is taken to get off the mark at the chief expense of the handily-weighted course winner Messerschmitt. In-form pair Dark Oak and Granite Bay can both have a say too.
AUTUMN WINTER could prove a level above these, having appeared unlucky not to have gone closer in a much better handicap at Ascot
(7) Bramble Jelly 5/2, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 8/1) 25 days ago. Should be on the premises in a weak race. Bounced back from a lesser effort with a better one over C&D latest; each-way claims..
5
2nd (5) (5/4 +38%) Harlington
1.25
5/4(+38%)
(5) Harlington 5/4, Won 12-runner handicap (11/4) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Not long with this yard and likely to be competitive again. Has shown he handles this track; respected trying to back up his win now 4lb higher..
4
3rd (4) (33/1 -65%) Woof
33
33/1(-65%)
(4) Woof 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 33/1) 80 days ago. Up in trip. Easy to look elsewhere. Moderate form on first three runs and was unable to improve on that on his handicap debut..
3
4th (3) (14/1 -100%) Make A Scene
14
14/1(-100%)
(3) Make A Scene 14/1, Unreliable type. 7/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 5 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hard to know what mood she'll turn up in. Below par at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) latest; cheekpieces go on; each-way possible..
8
5th (8) (150/1 -200%) Aquifolia
150
150/1(-200%)
(8) Aquifolia 150/1, 150/1, last of 13 in handicap at this course (13f, soft) 9 days ago. Down in trip. Hard to make a case for. No worthwhile form in six starts, the last three since joining her current trainer..
2
6th (2) (66/1 -164%) Happy Place
66
66/1(-164%)
(2) Happy Place 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat for Harry Eustace in 2023. No show in 2 juvenile hurdles for Dan Skelton this summer and last of 9 in handicap (80/1) at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Last at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) on her handicap and stable debut; more needed..
1
7th (1) (5/2 -127%) Red Cloud
2.5
5/2(-127%)
(1) Red Cloud 5/2, 5/4 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 36 days ago, slowly away. Still getting better and is the obvious one to beat. Ready 5l AW winner at Lingfield latest; up 6lb; acts on soft ground; may be more to come..
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
RED CLOUD is the most progressive of these and, having shown distance versatility, dropping back to 1m2f shouldn't be much of an issue given he scored readily over this trip at Chepstow in June. An even easier winner over 1m4f at Lingfield most recently, the selection can cement his authority under topweight here. Fellow last-time-out winner Harlington is feared most, while Make A Scene is also noteworthy with first-time cheekpieces added.
RED CLOUD is steadily on the up and had something to spare when scoring at Lingfield last month, so he's the obvious one to side with ahead of Harlington, the other last-time-out winner in the field. Most of the others have a bit to prove but Bramble Jelly isn't ruled out.
The tongue tie appeared to help RED CLOUD last time and he is taken to follow up that career best with another win back on turf.
(12) Just Ten High 6/4, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time when landing 12-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 11/2) 21 days ago, always holding on. Good shout again up 3 lb. Made a successful handicap/AW debut at Chelmsford three weeks ago; high on list.
7
2nd (7) (7/1 +30%) Shaka
7
7/1(+30%)
(7) Shaka 7/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/1) 17 days ago. More is required. 0-16, but runner-up off this mark over 1m here on penultimate start; each-way shout.
5
3rd (5) (25/1 -150%) Ben Dikduk
25
25/1(-150%)
(5) Ben Dikduk 25/1, Winner at Hamilton in June. Below form sixth of 18 in minor event at Thirsk (6f, good to firm, 11/2). Off 108 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. Sole success came at 33-1 at Hamilton in June; not sure what to expect after 108 days off.
1
4th (1) (66/1 -230%) Kessaar Power
66
66/1(-230%)
(1) Kessaar Power 66/1, Twenty five runs since last win in 2023. Last of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 20/1) 8 days ago. Poor since finishing runner-up at Yarmouth in May and losing run now up to 25.
8
5th (8) (16/1 -33%) Captain Dandy
16
16/1(-33%)
(8) Captain Dandy 16/1, 8/1, 6¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Just Ten High in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 21 days ago. Needs to take a step forward. Two AW wins for Richard Fahey but moderate for this yard and behind two of these last time.
2
6th (2) (10/1 -122%) Glory Call
10
10/1(-122%)
(2) Glory Call 10/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 10/11, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 35 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Ran poorly last time, but in good form before that and return to 7f no problem; player.
4
7th (4) (18/1 -13%) Porfin
18
18/1(-13%)
(4) Porfin 18/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 25/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 12 days ago. Becoming well treated. Engaged 1.45 Nottingham Wednesday. 3lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton in July; could run well.
3
8th (3) (3/1 +50%) Oriental Spirit
3
3/1(+50%)
(3) Oriental Spirit 3/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Solid sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/2) 8 days ago. Can give a good account. 1-23 but 1lb lower than when runner-up at Wolverhampton in July; shortlisted.
11
9th (11) (125/1 -150%) The Princes Poet
125
125/1(-150%)
(11) The Princes Poet 125/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Last of 10 in handicap (125/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) 14 days ago, slowly away. Significantly back up in trip. Eyeshields on for 1st time. Poor of late and losing run up to 17; still has stamina to prove; eyeshield on.
6
10th (6) (7/1 +13%) Back From Dubai
7
7/1(+13%)
(6) Back From Dubai 7/1, 5-time course winner. Creditable 1¾ lengths fourth to Just Ten High at Chelmsford City 21 days ago, but last of 9 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 14/1) on Tuesday. Five-time course winner, but well beaten here on Tuesday; something to prove.
16:24 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Now that the penny has dropped for JUST TEN HIGH after a taking success on handicap debut at Chelmsford last month, Dylan Cunha's charge could go from strength to strength, with a 3lb rise looking a touch lenient. Narrowly denied over 6f here on his penultimate outing, Glory Call is a key player, along with Oriental Spirit, who ran with some credit at Kempton last week.
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Dylan Cunha's lightly-raced JUST TEN HIGH is taken to make light of a 3 lb rise for his breakthrough Chelmsford victory. Oriental Spirit is next on the list on the back of his solid Kempton sixth, with True Blue Gent in the picture too.
There may still be more to come from JUST TEN HIGH following his successful handicap/AW debut at Chelmsford three weeks ago.
(2) Lake Chad 4/1, 14/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Bolted up over 2m6f here in August and ran well in higher grade since; has 2m form as well.
9
2nd (9) (11/2 +83%) Coole Arcade
5.5
11/2(+83%)
(9) Coole Arcade 11/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, soft, 11/1) 4 days ago. Not out of things. Modest form for current yard; beaten a long way when fourth at Killarney on Sunday.
5
3rd (5) (4/1 +0%) Tomas O Maille
4
4/1(+0%)
(5) Tomas O Maille 4/1, Posted best effort over fences when third of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Sligo (21.1f, good) 8 days ago. Back down in trip. Shortlist material. Placed over 2m5f at Sligo; hard to know his best trip but likely needs further than this.
3
4th (3) (25/1 -39%) Andyourbirdcansing
25
25/1(-39%)
(3) Andyourbirdcansing 25/1, Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. 28/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.7f, soft) on debut over fences 10 days ago, losing touch back straight. Back down in trip. Others preferred. 28s, jumped poorly when pulled up on chase debut last week and trip looks too sharp.
6
5th (6) (7/1 -100%) Silent Flight
7
7/1(-100%)
(6) Silent Flight 7/1, Bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft, 9/2) 142 days ago. Worth a market check on chase debut. Won 2m4f hurdle on heavy, held off this kind of mark after; chase debut after summer break.
1
6th (1) (5/1 -33%) Itsalonglongroad
5
5/1(-33%)
(1) Itsalonglongroad 5/1, Back to winning ways at Ballinrobe (17.3f) last month and not seen to best effect at Killarney since. Enters calculations. Prominent racer goes well here; won this last year, 15lb higher for this year's renewal.
8
7th (8) (16/1 -14%) Added Bonus
16
16/1(-14%)
(8) Added Bonus 16/1, Two wins from 42 NH runs. Latest win in chase at Thurles in February. Pulled up in handicap chase (22/1) at Killarney (23f, good) 83 days ago, beaten some way out. Significantly down in trip. Makes limited appeal. Repeated last year's victory in Thurles handicap in February and good run two starts back.
7
|U| (7) (7/2 -56%) Prince Of Air
3.5
7/2(-56%)
(7) Prince Of Air 7/2, Dual course winner who ran right up to best (from 2 lb out of the weights) when second of 9 in handicap chase (6/1) at this course (16f, good) 22 days ago. Big player. Good record over C&D this year, placed twice since winning in April, and handles soft.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
PRINCE OF AIR has gained both career wins at Tramore including over C&D this spring and has been generally consistent since. The selection beat all bar Must Be Dreaming here last time, while Itsalonglongroad is another well suited by this tight circuit winning here four times and is certainly at his best going right-handed. Lake Chad has won twice here over fences, but both came over longer trips including an easy victory over 2m6f in August. Rusheen won a 2m4f hurdle on testing ground at Fairyhouse last winter and it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour switching to fences on his reappearance.
Preference is for PRINCE OF AIR, who has a fine record at this course and arrives on the back of a good second in a stronger contest here last month. Tomas O Maille and Itsalonglongroad are feared most.
This trip is shorter than ideal for the in-form LAKE CHAD but he has gone close over 2m a few times and goes well at this venue
(3) Shine On Brendan 7/1, C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (10/3) at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago by 2½ lengths from Gainsbourg, readily. Has to be taken seriously under a penalty. 4lb worse with Gainsbourg for a ready success latest; has paid to follow him when in form..
9
2nd (9) (40/1 -21%) Cisco Disco
40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Cisco Disco 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Richard Fahey when twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 40/1) 21 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Tough to assess at present. Changed hands prior to his latest C&D defeat; drops another 3lb but big revival needed..
10
3rd (10) (15/8 +53%) Rwenearlytheredad
1.875
15/8(+53%)
(10) Rwenearlytheredad 15/8, Visored for 1st time, respectable second of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 4/1) 8 days ago. Enters calculations from his much-reduced mark. Season's best effort latest; up in trip; will need to settle better if he is to prevail..
6
4th (6) (9/2 -13%) Mr Jetman
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(6) Mr Jetman 9/2, Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, evens) 40 days ago, weakening having taken a strong hold early. Had been knocking firmly on the door previously and he's one to consider returned to this shorter trip. A model of consistency in defeat this season; mark unchanged; should again be thereabouts..
7
5th (7) (12/1 +14%) Straya
12
12/1(+14%)
(7) Straya 12/1, 50/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good) 9 days ago, having run of race. Remains a maiden but that was her best effort yet for her present stable. Each-way claims. Beaten 2l over C&D latest; drops slightly in grade again but still needs to pull out more..
11
6th (11) (18/1 -64%) Zumaaty
18
18/1(-64%)
(11) Zumaaty 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good, 7/1) 8 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won this in 2022; game win at Hamilton on his penultimate start but below par latest..
2
7th (2) (11/2 +39%) Gainsbourg
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(2) Gainsbourg 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 14/1, creditable 2½ lengths second of 11 to Shine On Brendan in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Now his task is to build on that effort. Put two lacklustre efforts behind him second in a 0-68 latest; each-way player..
8
8th (8) (10/1 -43%) Colorada Dancer
10
10/1(-43%)
(8) Colorada Dancer 10/1, Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 16 days ago, travelling better than most but his finishing effort flattening out. Probably not one to be going overboard about, yet this less exacting test can help. Drops another 2lb but we haven't seen enough to suggest that will tip the scales his way..
5
9th (5) (33/1 -65%) Izzari
33
33/1(-65%)
(5) Izzari 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 18 days ago, pushed along over 3f out and making no impression. Something to find on form. Disappointing when coming in for some support but never involved on handicap debut latest..
4
10th (4) (10/1 +38%) Strongbowe
10
10/1(+38%)
(4) Strongbowe 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, twelfth of 16 in minor event at Doncaster (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, weakening final 1f. Tongue strap back on. Well in on 2023 form; tongue-tie accompanies cheekpieces; support would pique interest..
1
11th (1) (25/1 -108%) Jackhammer
25
25/1(-108%)
(1) Jackhammer 25/1, Ran best race of the season with blinkers refitted when second at Musselburgh (7f) in August. Shaped better than bare result when third of 9 in handicap chase at Perth (20.1f) 15 days ago and no forlorn hope returned to this sphere. Below par in a better race than this latest but a player if close to his season's best..
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A winner over C&D before, SHINE ON BRENDAN looks the one to beat following a comfortable success at Hamilton last month. The seven-year-old can uphold form with the reopposing Gainsbourg (second), while Mr Jetman is another to note having shown up well in recent starts over further. Runner-up over 7f at Musselburgh last time out, Rwenearlytheredad has the potential to improve for going up in trip.
SHINE ON BRENDAN posted his best effort of the year when seeing off re-opposing Gainsbourg by 2½ lengths on his latest outing at Hamilton 10 days ago and a repeat under a penalty should see Jim Goldie's 7-y-o firmly in the mix once more. Rwenearlytheredad and Mr Jetman are the chief threats.
The way SHINE ON BRENDAN put Gainsbourg in his place last time suggests that he can do the same again on 4lb worse terms.
(5) Startling 11/1, Winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton in September. 9/2, seventh of 10 in nursery back there 10 days ago, though she was held up in a steadily-run race. Hood left off. Won on nursery debut at Wolverhampton but was never involved back there last time.
1
2nd (1) (7/1 -180%) Virtue Temperance
7
7/1(-180%)
(1) Virtue Temperance 7/1, Career best when winning 6-runner nursery at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 17/2) 38 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and there may still be more to come from her after 4 starts. Won on nursery debut at Brighton; up 5lb but she's respected on this switch to AW.
2
3rd (2) (6/1 -20%) Jeany May
6
6/1(-20%)
(2) Jeany May 6/1, 18/1, creditable third of 14 in nursery at Southwell (5f) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Makes polytrack debut and she can get involved again. 0-6 but she's been placed in both nurseries and is in the mix on the switch to Polytrack.
7
4th (7) (16/5 +84%) Master Zack
3.2
16/5(+84%)
(7) Master Zack 16/5, 150/1 and hooded for first time, seventh of 10 in maiden at Sandown (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Nurseries more suitable. Still unexposed but he needs a transformation on AW/nursery debut.
3
5th (3) (85/40 +15%) Dubai Magic
2.125
85/40(+15%)
(3) Dubai Magic 85/40, Left previous form behind when very good second of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, just failing. The one to beat from the same mark. Went very close on nursery debut at Wolverhampton and 2lb well in here; big player.
8
6th (8) (14/1 +30%) Dottie Diamond
14
14/1(+30%)
(8) Dottie Diamond 14/1, Ninth of 10 in novice at Newmarket (6f, soft, 125/1) 47 days ago. Makes handicap debut and she needs to settle down. Didn't show much in first three runs and needs lots of improvement on nursery debut.
6
7th (6) (5/1 -25%) Love Rock
5
5/1(-25%)
(6) Love Rock 5/1, Very good third of 10 in nursery (15/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, seeing her race out better than previously. Hood on first time, which may help so she commands respect. Close third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton, just behind Dubai Magic; shortlisted.
16:38 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This can go the way of DUBAI MAGIC, who is expected to build on a career-best effort when denied by the narrowest of margins over this distance at Wolverhampton last month. Half a length behind her on that occasion was Love Rock (third), who is likely to make this a test from the front. Virtue Temperance, a comfortable winner at Brighton on her latest start, is another to bear in mind.
DUBAI MAGIC came within a nose of making a successful nursery debut at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and from the inside stall, she looks the answer from the same mark. Love Rock was just behind the selection that day and she should be involved again, with Virtue Temperance also one to view positively.
Top of the list is DUBAI MAGIC, who was beaten a nose on her nursery debut at Wolverhampton and is 2lb well in here.
(7) Harrys Hope 11/10, Irish point winner who left hurdling efforts behind with a most impressive winning chase debut at Southwell a week ago. Obvious claims of following up under a penalty. Won readily by 7l on last week's chasing debut; commands respect under 7lb penalty.
1
2nd (1) (6/1 -50%) Sherborne
6
6/1(-50%)
(1) Sherborne 6/1, Won twice over hurdles and confirmed the promise of previous starts in this sphere when striking at Wincanton (2½m, heavy) in December. Ended the season in form and can feature if tuned up for this return after 6 months off. In good form when last seen in the spring and won't mind what the weather does here.
2
3rd (2) (18/1 -157%) Another Folly
18
18/1(-157%)
(2) Another Folly 18/1, Runner-up both starts in points. Fair form on second hurdle start but struggled otherwise, including on handicap bow latest. Makes chase debut after 6 months off. Only third of four on handicap hurdle debut in March but remains unexposed; chase debut.
8
4th (8) (40/1 -100%) Royal Juniper
40
40/1(-100%)
(8) Royal Juniper 40/1, Followed positive start to chasing with a tame effort at Fontwell, so needs to bounce back from that if he's to have any chance of competing. Placed at big odds at Fontwell in May but tailed off there last month, after a break.
3
5th (3) (5/1 +9%) Begin The Luck
5
5/1(+9%)
(3) Begin The Luck 5/1, Course winner who arrives on the back of a creditable showing at Stratford last month. Others look better treated but he's likely to give his running again. Four-time chase winner (once here) who gave a good account when placed last month.
4
6th (4) (50/1 +0%) Ileny Royale
50
50/1(+0%)
(4) Ileny Royale 50/1, Placed twice from 4 starts in minor events for Gabriel Leenders in France. Offered little over hurdles for this yard and has a bit to prove returning from 8 months off. Struggled in two handicap hurdles last season; makes chasing debut after 260-day layoff.
9
|U| (9) (8/1 +33%) Stiletto
8
8/1(+33%)
(9) Stiletto 8/1, Modest maiden hurdler who probably needed the run at Worcester last month. Hard to be sure that he'll take to chasing, however. Well handicapped on some of last season's hurdling form but not bred for fences.
6
|PU| (6) (14/1 -133%) Fakir
14
14/1(-133%)
(6) Fakir 14/1, Mixed bag since landing a 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell over a year ago. Left Anthony Charlton before shaping like the run was needed at Fontwell a month ago. Should be spot on now and on a handy mark, so looks a player in a first-time visor. Not the force of old but ran well for a long way on recent seasonal/stable debut.
10
|PU| (10) (14/1 -75%) Goaheadwiththeplan
14
14/1(-75%)
(10) Goaheadwiththeplan 14/1, Just looks modest now and, while he ran respectably at Worcester a month ago, he didn't look the most straightforward, so others are more appealing. Recent efforts prove he retains ability; no surprise if he features.
11
|PU| (11) (80/1 -60%) Maska Du Morvan

(11) Maska Du Morvan 80/1, First run since leaving Mary E Doyle, 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) on debut over fences 117 days ago. Has a bit to prove. Point winner in May but struggled to get competitive on rules return in June; stable debut.
16:43 Exeter Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
HARRYS HOPE made an impressive chasing debut when scoring by seven lengths at Southwell last week and is very hard to ignore turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty. Topweight Sherborne has more experience in this discipline and is the chief threat to the selection. Previous course winner Begin The Luck is also forwarded as a key player in this company. Goaheadwiththeplan also needs considering.
HARRYS HOPE took superbly well to chasing when running out an emphatic winner at Southwell a week ago and, if the race doesn't come too soon, she's firmly expected to defy a penalty. Fakir is a danger on his second outing for a shrewd yard and Sherborne should be involved if fit enough to do himself justice on reappearance.
The most obvious answer is HARRY'S HOPE (nap), who created a good impression when winning readily by 7l on last week's chasing debut.
(8) Soul Of Spain 2/1, Fairly useful gelding. Respectable fourth of 12 in maiden at Navan (14f, good, 6/1) 19 days ago. Trainer going well. Worthy of respect. Little unlucky to still be a maiden; stamina to prove at new trip but each-way player.

14/1(-133%)
(9) Sanctity Of Space 14/1, Twice-raced filly. 18/1, fourth of 13 in maiden at Galway (12f, soft) 69 days ago, running on late. Significantly up in trip. Yard having good spell. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Remains with potential. Promising debut and stayed on nicely for 4th second time out, shaping like 2m may suit.

(7) Double Agent 8/11, Thrice-raced colt. Second of 12 in maiden at Navan (14f, good, 15/2) 19 days ago. Stable in good form. Tongue strap on 1st time. Should continue to give a good account. Took form to new level with narrow defeat up at 1m6f latest; brother to Free Wind.

15/2(-7%)
(1) Backmersackme 15/2, Fairly useful jumps winner. Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 19f in bumpers. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, soft, 9/2) 13 days ago. May yet do better in this sphere. 4th over timber in Britain last month; shown ability on Flat but probably one for h'caps.

(6) Boola Times 66/1, Once-raced gelding. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Killarney (11.3f, good to firm, 66/1) on debut 87 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip. Well held 66-1 shot in maiden; up in trip for return and has a fair amount to find.

(3) I'm Flattered 125/1, Twice-raced filly on Flat. Eleventh of 12 in maiden (200/1) at Navan (14f, good) 19 days ago. Tailed off in bumper and same story on Flat runs since; will get better chances in h'caps.

28
28/1(+15%)
(5) Vadsa Queen 28/1, Twice-raced mare on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, second of 15 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 7/1) 14 days ago. Not dismissed. Bumper winner; showed promise on Flat last month; new trip back in this sphere may suit.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Navan runner-up DOUBLE AGENT should appreciate stepping up to two miles. Having made the running last time, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt looked like folding when being headed two furlongs out. However, the manner in which he rallied to stay on again inside the final furlong suggests he requires a real stamina test. Graded class hurdler Jetara would be a serious contender if fit enough on her return from a summer break. Last seen when finishing runner-up in a Grade 1 hurdle at the Punchestown festival, the Jessica Harrington-trained six-year-old is an intriguing runner. Soul Of Spain, who finished fourth behind Double Agent last time, shouldn't be discounted despite his rather frustrating profile.
JETARA has shown herself to be an above-average, likeable mare over hurdles and, if she can replicate that sort of form on her first Flat outing, she could have enough to get the better of the likes of Double Agent and Soul of Spain.
DOUBLE AGENT (nap) is the one to beat after a narrow loss last time and there's surely more to come from this full brother to Free Wind
(9) Shining River 13/2, Thrice-raced filly. 2/1, fair fourth of 6 in novice at Haydock (8f, good) 34 days ago. One for the shortlist. Just behind Mandana at Haydock in August; half-sister to triple Tapeta winner; shortlisted.

(3) Miss Hathaway 10/1, Fair filly. Respectable fourth of 11 in novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 17/2) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. In the frame in seven of her eight starts on turf; player on the pick of her summer form.

22/1(-340%)
(8) Hock Eye The Noo 22/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/11, fifth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago. Needs to build on it. Close third on Lingfield debut, but disappointing last time; needs a resurgence.

4/1(-33%)
(5) Mandana 4/1, Lightly-raced filly. 9/2, good second of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 12 days ago. Big shout on her tapeta debut. Placed in all four starts, including when second at Chelmsford 12 days ago; respected.

(6) Penn Avenue 20/1, Foaled March 2. Mohaather filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 8.3f Percy's Lad and 8.6f-1¾m winner Amir Kabir. Dam unraced. Considered. Nice pedigree; stable had a 25-1 winning newcomer at Kempton last month.
16:55 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MANDANA took well to the all-weather when second on her most recent start at Chelmsford and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. A disappointment when favourite over 1m at Haydock last time out, Shining River is better judged on her penultimate effort when narrowly behind the selection at Haydock in August. Hock Eye The Noo and Miss Hathaway are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
MANDANA possesses the best form on offer so is taken to go one better than her good Chelmsford City second last time out and get off the mark. Miss Hathaway also has the form to play a part and is rated next best ahead of newcomer Velvet Whisper and Kempton debut seventh Bear Facts.
There should be little between MANDANA and Shining River on their meeting in August, with the former taken to confrm the placings.
(1) Miss Bella Brand 5/2, Down in the weights and posted a respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 10/1) 9 days ago. Of interest eased in class. On a dangerous mark now and ran well over C&D last week; leading claims in this field.
3
2nd (3) (2/1 +56%) Dusk Dame
2
2/1(+56%)
(3) Dusk Dame 2/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in August. 9/1 and blinkered for first time, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 3 days ago. Booking of Doyle a plus but mark continues to look stiff. Heavy-ground 5f win in August; fair third at Yarmouth on Monday; needs a bit more to win.
5
3rd (5) (5/2 0%) Moe's Legacy
2.5
5/2(0%)
(5) Moe's Legacy 5/2, Very good second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 11/1) 15 days ago, headed post. Doing very little wrong at present and this mark looks well within range. Comes here in top form and she's a key player if handling the slow conditions.
4
4th (4) (9/2 +31%) Lahina Bay
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(4) Lahina Bay 9/2, Latest win at Windsor in July. 11/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good) 24 days ago. Bounce back called for. All wins on fast ground but promise on soft as 2yo; needs to bounce back from latest blip.
2
5th (2) (8/1 -140%) Savannah Smiles
8
8/1(-140%)
(2) Savannah Smiles 8/1, Four wins from 18 runs this year. Latest win at Chepstow in September. 11/4, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 29 days ago, slowly away. Same mark here. Four wins this year but this is likely to be the slowest ground she's encountered.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SAVANNAH SMILES is taken to supplement the Chepstow success gained on her penultimate start. The selection wasn't beaten far under a penalty on the Polytrack at Lingfield most recently and, back on turf, she can be a force in this company. Drying conditions would be a positive for Lahina Bay, while Moe's Legacy is consistent and also warrants serious thought in an open event.
To say MOE'S LEGACY has been knocking on the door of late would be an understatement, beaten less than a length by one rival on her last 3 outings and it's easy enough to envisage her making all this time. Miss Bella Brand eases in class so is feared most.
Lahina Bay is better than she showed last time but MISS BELLA BRAND usually tackles stronger opposition and can defy top weight.
(2) Ballybrack Wood 3/1, Fair hurdler. 14/1, creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 27 days ago. Makes chase debut for top stable. Second in sole point and best hurdles run was last time after four months off.

(10) Michal 13/2, Maiden hurdler. Creditable fourth of 14 in maiden hurdle at this course (21.4f, good, 5/1) 22 days ago. Fourth here in his previous chase. Open to progress in this sphere. Not beaten far when fourth here to subsequent improver on sole chase start in May.

(1) Aurea Fortuna 16/1, Modest chaser. Fifth of 10 in handicap chase (7/1) at Listowel (23.8f, soft) 12 days ago. Beaten around 20l all starts over fences but it wasn't a bad handicap debut at Listowel.

(6) Doyen For A Drink 5/1, Modest hurdler. First run since leaving Paul Nolan when career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Cartmel (25.4f, heavy) 45 days ago, kept up to work. Makes chase debut. Ready winner of 3m1f handicap hurdle at Cartmel on first start since leaving Paul Nolan.

6th (4) (11/2 -57%) Tuckmill
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(4) Tuckmill 11/2, Won a Wexford handicap hurdle in August and made a good start to his chase career when second of 11 in maiden at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago, clear of rest. Should go well again. Three hurdle wins over around 2m; jumped well on chase debut when second over 2m2f.

7th (7) (12/1 +25%) Game And Glory
12
12/1(+25%)
(7) Game And Glory 12/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in April. 18/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 27 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Experienced mare was placed in good-ground handicaps in the summer but handles soft too.

17:00 Tramore Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BIGIRA had Doyen For A Drink (won last time at Cartmel) over five lengths behind when taking a 3m handicap hurdle at Wexford this summer and has shown promise when switched to fences on her latest two starts. She also has the benefit of course experience having been fourth to The Friday Man over 2m7f last month. Jouster and Tuckmill have both won handicap hurdles off a mark of 94 this year and the latter was only caught close home last time on his chase debut at Downpatrick. Ballybrack Wood was second on his only point-to-point start and has also shown some promise over hurdles.
TUCKMILL is an improved performer in recent months and can build on his Downpatrick chase debut second and go one better now. Bigira has taken well to fences the last twice and is second choice ahead of Henry de Bromhead chase newcomer Ballybrack Wood.
Not many readily ruled out; MICHAL had a good first run over fences here in May and can put that experience to good use
(8) Annandale 4/1, C&D winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago, slowly away. Can get involved if it all clicks. Slipping to a handy mark but will need to pull out more than of late to capitalise..

(7) Laudable 11/2, Course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in September. 10/1, 4½ lengths fourth of 6 to Dandy's Angel in handicap at Haydock (10.4f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Previously placed over C&D; heavy ground a probable excuse latest; each-way player..

7.5
15/2(+32%)
(10) Lunacy 15/2, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, soft, 11/1) 8 days ago, finding test too much. Not completely dismissed. Not ruled out each-way but will have to raise the bar to win this; ideally wants rain..
5
4th (5) (5/1 +64%) Glasses Up
5
5/1(+64%)
(5) Glasses Up 5/1, 8-time course winner. Latest win here in August. 5½ lengths fourth of 6 to Ebony Maw in handicap (7/1) at this course (15f, good) 9 days ago. Others more persuasive. Raced freely when not as good here (1m7f, good) latest; no surprise if he is involved..
6
5th (6) (12/1 -140%) Jaminoz
12
12/1(-140%)
(6) Jaminoz 12/1, Course winner. Latest win at Hamilton in September. Good 2¼ lengths second of 7 to Dandy's Angel in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft, 7/2) 10 days ago. Big player. Arrives in good form but ideally wants rain to enhance his chance; each-way player..
1
6th (1) (10/3 +33%) Ebony Maw
3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(1) Ebony Maw 10/3, 13/2, won 6-runner handicap at this course (15f, good) 9 days ago, holding on gamely. Carries penalty. Merits respect. Penalised for recent course win and may need to pull out a bit more back down in trip..
2
7th (2) (20/1 -100%) Purple Gown
20
20/1(-100%)
(2) Purple Gown 20/1, Latest win at Hamilton in June. 9/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, soft) 14 days ago. Fair on the Flat, creditable on last Flat outing. Not discounted. Second at Musselburgh (1m6f) before being midfield over hurdles latest; each-way player..
11
8th (11) (20/1 -67%) Crystal Guard
20
20/1(-67%)
(11) Crystal Guard 20/1, C&D winner. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good, 13/2) 8 days ago. Others are more compelling. Off the boil slightly and is likely to need close to this season's best to take a hand..
3
9th (3) (5/1 -67%) Dandy's Angel
5
5/1(-67%)
(3) Dandy's Angel 5/1, 6/1, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Carries penalty. Significantly up in trip. Good chance in 4-timer bid if she stays. Steps up in trip but the way she won at Hamilton suggests she'll see it out; big player..
9
10th (9) (66/1 -371%) Sitcom
66
66/1(-371%)
(9) Sitcom 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in novice (28/1) at Kempton (12f) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Not easy to make a case for. Mark looks fair if she is at the level of her penultimate effort; check the market..
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
DANDY'S ANGEL looked well at ease when scoring over 1m4f at Hamilton on her penultimate start and going up to this trip shouldn't inconvenience her as she looks to land the four-timer. A winner over further here last week and turned out quickly under a 4lb penalty, Ebony Maw must enter calculations, along with Val Bassett, who wasn't devoid of promise at Hamilton latest.
Likeable mare DANDY'S ANGEL has struck up a productive partnership with her talented young jockey and, having won with more in hand than the result at Redcar 5 days ago, she's worth a chance to land the four-timer, a major feat for a 7-y-o. Jaminoz, who was second to the selection 10 days ago at Hamilton, is much better off at the weights and is regarded as the main danger ahead of Ebony Maw.
Given the way DANDY'S ANGEL won again last time, she may be capable of defying an additional 8lb over this new trip.
(7) Rajaking 9/2, Foaled March 15. Rajasinghe gelding. Dam multiple 6f-7f winner. Has speed and stamina in pedigree and market should guide on debut.

1.25
5/4(+0%)
(8) Heaven Knows 5/4, 4/1, excellent second of 9 in novice at this C&D 40 days ago, just failing. Could take the beating on that showing. Went very close over C&D last time and sets the standard on that form; big player.

(13) One For Harvey 20/1, Twice-raced filly. 4/1, third of 4 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good) 39 days ago. Gave a good showing at Kempton on debut and could do better back on AW now. Promising third at Kempton (6f, AW) but was only third of four at Brighton last time.

(10) Evanka 16/1, Twice-raced filly. 40/1, third of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW) 30 days ago. Poor form in both her runs and is probably a longer-term prospect.

Sixth of 7 in novice at Newcastle (5f, 16/1) on debut 37 days ago. Didn't show a lot on his Newcastle debut (5f) last month; opposable.

(6) Popov 80/1, Again showed little when eighth of 10 in novice at Ascot (6f, good to soft, 150/1) 34 days ago. In rear at 150-1 in both his runs and has stacks to find on this switch to AW.

33/1(+34%)
(5) Duffus Castle 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. Ninth of 10 in maiden (66/1) at Yarmouth (7f, firm) 22 days ago. This drop in trip could suit but he was beaten 12l last time and others are preferred.

Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1¼m/10.3f winner Dragon Fei (stayed 1½m). Hood on for debut.

Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), half-sister to useful 10.4f-1¾m winner Jaameh. Has fair standard to aim at on debut and she's probably a longer-term prospect.
17:13 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LEBLON GIRL improved from her first to second start when not beaten far into second at Ripon last time out and, with further progress expected, the daughter of Kodiac can strike from a plum draw. Only worn down late in the piece when runner-up over C&D in August, Heaven Knows is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as One For Harvey, who could be suited by going back up to 6f.
Probably not a strong maiden and HEAVEN KNOWS has a good shout having gone close here 6 weeks ago. Leblon Girl and One For Harvey are dangers before any market clues for the newcomers.
This should revolve around the two leading form contenders in Leblon Girl and HEAVEN KNOWS, with preference for the latter.
(3) In The Air 1/2, Gambled on and made a mockery of his much-reduced mark on first start since leaving Adam West in 9-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f, good to firm) 7 days ago, plenty in hand. Likely to take some stopping under a 7-lb penalty. Won easily on stable debut a week ago and remains very well handicapped under 7lb penalty.
8
2nd (8) (12/1 +52%) Thahab Ifraj
12
12/1(+52%)
(8) Thahab Ifraj 12/1, Capitalised on a career-low mark when winning this corresponding event last year, but ran below form at Worcester in August and never threatened back on the Flat at Bath last month. Others more persuasive. Won this off 2lb lower in 2023 but recent Flat/hurdle form is underwhelming.
1
3rd (1) (5/1 +29%) War Lord
5
5/1(+29%)
(1) War Lord 5/1, Down the weights and proved he retains plenty of ability when third in a Newton Abbot handicap hurdle in June. Failed to complete back over fences next time but shaped with encouragement reverted to hurdling when fourth there (21.6f) last month. Player with cheekpieces refitted. Lost his way over fences but has made the frame in his last two hurdles; each-way claims.
9
4th (9) (14/1 -211%) Asian Spice
14
14/1(-211%)
(9) Asian Spice 14/1, Landed a brace of handicaps here last November and got back on track when second in 7-runner event at Stratford (16.3f, good) in May. This demands a bit more, though. Dual course winner last November; holds each-way claims if ready to roll after break.
2
5th (2) (16/1 +0%) Hardy Fella
16
16/1(+0%)
(2) Hardy Fella 16/1, Scored over fences at Fontwell in November but pulled up last 3 starts, including back over hurdles at Worcester last time. Ended last season in poor form over fences and was pulled up over hurdles in August.
6
6th (6) (33/1 -32%) Bigz Belief
33
33/1(-32%)
(6) Bigz Belief 33/1, Fair hurdler who shaped like a non-stayer on his most recent outing in this sphere. This trip more suitable and ran creditably on his stable debut on the Flat last time. 3-32 over hurdles when trained in Ireland but well below best form there this year.
4
7th (4) (22/1 -57%) Clearance
22
22/1(-57%)
(4) Clearance 22/1, Smooth traveller who added to his terrific course record at Newton Abbot when scoring cosily over 2m there in June. Respectable efforts since but needs to prove he's as good away from that venue. As good as ever when winning twice in spring; not quite at same level lately.
5
8th (5) (10/1 -25%) Gustoso
10
10/1(-25%)
(5) Gustoso 10/1, Showed much-improved form to get off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Huntingdon in April. Backed it up with a good third at Perth later in the month but this represents a step up in grade. Low-mileage 5yo; ended last season on an upward curve; player if tuned up after break.
17:18 Exeter Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
IN THE AIR was in command a long way from home when he made a successful debut for Nicky Henderson at Southwell last week and, given he is 4lb well in here, he could make light of the 7lb penalty. War Lord is versatile and, having dropped to a highly-competitive mark in comparison to past exploits, he cannot be ruled out in this company. Gustoso and Clearance are others with each-way appeal.
IN THE AIR made a mockery of his much-reduced mark on first start for Nicky Henderson at Southwell last week and will surely take a fair bit of stopping if turning up in similar form under a penalty. War Lord and Asian Spice are fancied to fill the places.
It's hard to get away from IN THE AIR, who looked rejuvenated when winning easily off a much-reduced mark for his new stable last week.
(10) Empress Alma 5/1, Latest win at Down Royal in July. 15/2, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Galway (12.4f, good to soft) 73 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Shapes as though this stamina test will be right up her street. Impressive Down Royal winner ran okay at Galway; back from a break and respected.
1
2nd (1) (5/1 +50%) Sir Allen
5
5/1(+50%)
(1) Sir Allen 5/1, Produced a career-best in first-time cheekpieces when winning 14-runner handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 17 days ago, proving 2½ lengths too strong for Tudor Manor. More needed here up 8 lb. Listowel winner up 8lb; big player though wouldn't want it any quicker.
4
3rd (4) (9/2 +10%) Building Bridges
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(4) Building Bridges 9/2, Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, soft, 3/1) 14 days ago, keeping on well. Successful latest start in this sphere, too, but this is a more demanding assignment. Recent hurdles winner; ground remains in his favour and stamina test should suit.
9
4th (9) (25/1 -25%) Cafe Con Leche
25
25/1(-25%)
(9) Cafe Con Leche 25/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Respectable 10¾ lengths eighth of 14 to Sir Allen in handicap (28/1) at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Held by several of these based on that evidence. Plenty to find with several of these on recent Listowel run and best form on softer ground.
6
5th (6) (25/1 +0%) Autocrat
25
25/1(+0%)
(6) Autocrat 25/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 25/1) 20 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's probably best watched for now. Out of form under both codes of late; others preferred.
8
6th (8) (8/1 +20%) Charlie Darling
8
8/1(+20%)
(8) Charlie Darling 8/1, Latest win at Tramore in August. 6/1, very good second of 9 in handicap at Down Royal (18.6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Couldn't rule out. Confirmed stayer just denied at Downpatrick latest; should go well.
12
7th (12) (9/2 +44%) Black Soul
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(12) Black Soul 9/2, 5/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.3f, soft) 8 days ago, nearest finish. Significantly up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Merits consideration. Staying-on fourth at Bellewstown suggested this stamina test should suit; tongue-tie tried.
14
8th (14) (33/1 -65%) Lilac Lady
33
33/1(-65%)
(14) Lilac Lady 33/1, Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 14/1) 19 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs to raise her game. Inadequate trip on recent Navan comeback so more likely here upped in trip.
13
9th (13) (12/1 +70%) Bynx
12
12/1(+70%)
(13) Bynx 12/1, 20/1, last of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time latest effort in thos sphere was respectable. Still, some of these look stronger. Better hurdler; tongue-tie tried but remains opposable.
2
10th (2) (4/1 +11%) Plains Indian
4
4/1(+11%)
(2) Plains Indian 4/1, Creditable 4¾ lengths third of 14 to Sir Allen in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft, 8/1) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Gets that here and meets the winner on 9 lb better terms, so there can be optimism that he will reverse the placings. Listowel third to stablemate Sir Allen; longer trip here should suit.
11
11th (11) (18/1 -64%) Spanish John
18
18/1(-64%)
(11) Spanish John 18/1, Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.3f, soft, 40/1) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip and he's probably worth taking on, for win purposes at least. Winning hurdler is 0-7 on the Flat and yet to convince over this sort of trip.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A dual winner earlier in the campaign, EMPRESS ALMA can record a third career success. Although unable to complete the hat-trick, the Gavin Cromwell-trained filly was far from disgraced when staying on to finish fifth in a competitive handicap at the Galway festival. Given a break since then, the Holy Roman Emperor three-year-old can resume her progress. Topweight Sir Allen can confirm Listowel form with the quartet that finished in behind. A smart juvenile hurdler last season, the Andrew Slattery-trained gelding remains nicely treated back on the Flat. Recent Perth handicap hurdle winner Building Bridges is another that has the potential to exploit his mark on the level.
The vote goes to EMPRESS ALMA, who did well under the circumstances when fifth at Galway last time and this filly promises to be suited by stepping back up in trip. Plains Indian was third behind stablemate Sir Allen and Tudor Manor at Listowel recently but this stiffer test will be in his favour and he could be the pick of the trio this time. Tudor Manor is also taken to get the better of Sir Allen here and he is third choice, while Black Soul also enters calculations.
The choice is CHARLIE DARLING, who relishes this trip and was a bit unlucky not to get up at Downpatrick last time
(4) Calaxy 12/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, good fifth of 7 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Not ruled out. Well held in two starts on turf; looks one for nurseries after this.
1
2nd (1) (9/2 +44%) Cosi Bear
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(1) Cosi Bear 9/2, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in novice at Leicester (7f, soft, 66/1) on debut 30 days ago, slowly away. Can build on it. Eighth of 12 on last month's Leicester debut; may need more time.
3
3rd (3) (11/8 +0%) Rhyme Dust
1.375
11/8(+0%)
(3) Rhyme Dust 11/8, Promising Sergei Prokofiev filly who came in third of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) on her debut 29 days ago. Sure to progress so she's a player. Close third on Lingfield debut last month; that is by far the best form on offer.
2
4th (2) (13/2 -30%) Eva Dickson
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(2) Eva Dickson 13/2, Foaled January 17. Study of Man filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 1½m winner Galapiat out of smart winner up to 11f (2-y-o 7f winner) Lady Jane Digby. Considered. Bred to come into her own over further, but still one to monitor in the market on debut.
6
5th (6) (20/1 -67%) Sangara
20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Sangara 20/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1 and hooded, ninth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 24 days ago. More is needed. Ninth on her Kempton debut last month; improvement needed and may need further in time.
9
6th (9) (33/1 -175%) Tootsie
33
33/1(-175%)
(9) Tootsie 33/1, Foaled March 28. 14,000 gns yearling, Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam, unraced, closely related to smart/unreliable 5f/6f winner Conquest. Betting can prove an accurate indicator. Some appeal on pedigree, but stable 3-233 with 2yo newcomers in past five seasons.
5
7th (5) (25/1 -213%) Pink Azalea
25
25/1(-213%)
(5) Pink Azalea 25/1, €23,000F, 36,000Y. Sister to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m winner Indicative Vote and 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Recurrent Dream and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 5f/5.5f winner Powerallied. Dam 7f winner. Noteworthy newcomer. Enough to like on breeding and stable can get them ready first time; watch market.
7
8th (7) (4/1 +33%) Stylish Affair
4
4/1(+33%)
(7) Stylish Affair 4/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1 and hooded, seventh of 11 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, firm) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Seventh on her Yarmouth debut last month; may still need a bit more time.
8
9th (8) (125/1 -150%) Bonnie S
125
125/1(-150%)
(8) Bonnie S 125/1, Foaled May 5. Washington Dc filly. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Market can guide. Wouldn't be an obvious one on debut.
17:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Hampered inside the final furlong when a promising third at Lingfield on debut, RHYME DUST is likely to come on plenty for that experience and she looks capable of breaking the maiden with Tom Marquand taking over in the saddle. Cosi Bear didn't show much first time out at Leicester but better can be expected here, while the same could be said of Stylish Affair, who got going late in the piece when seventh at Yarmouth.
Tom Ward's filly RHYME DUST shaped well on her debut when third at Lingfield and with a fair bit of improvement on the cards she looks the way to go here. Yarmouth debut seventh Stylish Affair also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list with debutantes Pink Azalea and Eva Dickson also worthy of respect, especially if the market vibes are positive.
This looks a good opportunity for RHYME DUST who sets a fair standard on her close third on last month's Lingfield debut.
(6) Amboyna 6/5, Lightly-raced maiden. Good third of 12 in bumper at Listowel (16f, soft, 6/1) 13 days ago. Leading claims. Got closest at Wexford and Listowel the last twice; leading lady rider aboard; big player.
2
2nd (2) (12/1 -60%) Kared'as De Cougny
12
12/1(-60%)
(2) Kared'as De Cougny 12/1, Gemix gelding. Dam maiden over fences in France. The stable does get the odd bumper winner and needs monitoring in the betting. Won't have to be a star to make an impact in this race on debut; watch the market.
1
3rd (1) (50/1 -25%) Goodmancon
50
50/1(-25%)
(1) Goodmancon 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 15 in bumper (100/1) at this course (16.4f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Tailed-off on Cork debut; a bit better over C&D next time but loads of improvement needed.
4
4th (4) (7/4 +47%) San Franco
1.75
7/4(+47%)
(4) San Franco 7/4, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 12/1, creditable fifth of 11 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 20 days ago, finding test too much. This shorter trip looks more suitable. Looks the danger to Amboyna. Best run came over hurdles but still looks a big player with a top lady rider aboard.
7
5th (7) (20/1 +39%) Dafhney Blue
20
20/1(+39%)
(7) Dafhney Blue 20/1, Doyen filly. Half-sister to fair 2¾m hurdle winner/21f chase winner Deons Diamond. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Duke des Champs. The betting should guide to expectations with this newcomer. Decent pedigree and won't have to be star to make an impact in this on debut.
3
6th (3) (20/1 +0%) On The Gandy Hop
20
20/1(+0%)
(3) On The Gandy Hop 20/1, Down the field in 2 hurdles ahead of this switch to a bumper. Not an obvious one. Tailed-off in a maiden hurdle on debut but a better effort at Listowel, albeit beaten 27l.
5
|PU| (5) (11/1 -57%) Scart Lad
11
11/1(-57%)
(5) Scart Lad 11/1, Workforce gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Cusp of Carabelli, stays 3m. Dam won 3 times in points. Won't have to be a star to make an impact in this race on debut; yard does well here.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
AMBOYNA appears to have found a good opportunity to open her account. The daughter of Mount Nelson has been placed on the latest three of her four bumper starts and handled soft ground at Listowel last time when third behind fancied newcomer Amen Kate. San Franco looks the chief threat with Jody Townend a significant booking. He was set to finish second behind the useful Zariygann when a last flight faller at Roscommon and has also shown promise in bumpers including when third at Ballinrobe. The remainder with form make limited appeal and any market move for newcomer Kared'as De Cougny would be interesting.
This looks a weak bumper and could be a good chance for AMBOYNA to get off the mark. San Franco is the obvious threat unless the betting speaks in the favour of one or more of the newcomers.
Though his best run came when falling over hurdles at Roscommon, SAN FRANCO looks to have enough ability to win.
(1) Gifted Angel 11/8, First run since leaving Tom Dascombe and career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Carries penalty. Shortlist material given AW record with promise of more to come. Powered clear over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on recent stable debut; 3lb well in under penalty.
2
2nd (2) (10/3 -67%) Wannabe Brave
3.333333
10/3(-67%)
(2) Wannabe Brave 10/3, Course winner. 4 wins from 7 runs this year. Won 10-runner handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 26 days ago. Already has a productive season and 2 lb rise won't prevent another bold bid. Four AW wins from last seven starts, including at Lingfield latest; respected back in trip.
3
3rd (3) (8/1 +33%) Delta Legend
8
8/1(+33%)
(3) Delta Legend 8/1, Latest win at Lingfield in June. 25/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Both wins at 1m on AW and he was well held when upped to 1m6f here last time.
4
4th (4) (2/1 +50%) Beggarman
2
2/1(+50%)
(4) Beggarman 2/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 7/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Is holding his form pretty well. Triple course winner who has finished runner-up on turf last twice; in the mix again.
6
5th (6) (66/1 -450%) Maruna
66
66/1(-450%)
(6) Maruna 66/1, 25/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Mark is sliding but she's now 1-10 and has stamina to prove at this new trip.
5
6th (5) (125/1 -213%) Rogue Raider
125
125/1(-213%)
(5) Rogue Raider 125/1, Last of 10 in handicap (200/1) at Kempton (11f) 20 days ago. Needs to improve for step up in trip to figure. Regressive maiden who has finished tailed off in last three runs; lots to prove.
17:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A revelation on his first start for the Jack Jones stable when scoring comfortably over shorter at Wolverhampton last time out, GIFTED ANGEL is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up. A progressive sort throughout this season, Wannabe Brave will need a strong gallop to be seen at his best over this shorter distance, while Beggarman is another consistent sort to note.
Having joined an up-and-coming yard, GIFTED ANGEL overcame a very slow start when successful at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and further success looks on the cards. Wannabe Brave boasts a good strike rate for this level so is second choice, with Beggarman likely to give it another good go.
Preference is for GIFTED ANGEL (nap), who surged clear on his stable debut at Wolverhampton and is 3lb well in under a penalty.
(3) Alfa Whiteburd 9/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/1, landed 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Enters calculations. Got up late to win at Newcastle (6f) last month; respected despite the 2lb rise.
9
2nd (9) (11/4 +21%) Liosa
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(9) Liosa 11/4, 6/4, ready winner of 10-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago, well on top finish. Looks competitive on form. This is tougher than the Kempton race he won last month but he did it easily; chance.
4
3rd (4) (14/1 -17%) Oso Rapido
14
14/1(-17%)
(4) Oso Rapido 14/1, Creditable second of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Not ruled out. On a dangerous mark and ran okay on turf 12 days ago; widest stall to contend with.
5
4th (5) (10/1 +70%) Bellagio Man
10
10/1(+70%)
(5) Bellagio Man 10/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Rated 12lb higher when winning at Newcastle last autumn; needs to step up on recent form.
1
5th (1) (7/2 +0%) Indivar
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(1) Indivar 7/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 13/8) 9 days ago, quickening clear. Carries 6 lb penalty but still looks the one to beat. Drop in trip/class saw him run out an easy winner at Newcastle; well in under penalty.
8
6th (8) (20/1 -25%) Callianassa
20
20/1(-25%)
(8) Callianassa 20/1, 14/1, creditable 3½ lengths eighth of 13 to Alfa Whiteburd in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Shortlisted. 0-14; has dropped to a lowly mark but needs to step up on recent AW efforts.
6
7th (6) (9/1 +55%) Heroism
9
9/1(+55%)
(6) Heroism 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventeenth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 20 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do. Not at his best this year and others come here with much less to prove.
2
8th (2) (12/1 -118%) My Awele
12
12/1(-118%)
(2) My Awele 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. 17/2, bagged 11-runner handicap at this C&D 45 days ago. Not taken lightly in her current mood. Easily saw off a subsequent winner over C&D on handicap debut; respected despite 8lb rise.
12
9th (12) (25/1 -257%) Lion Ring
25
25/1(-257%)
(12) Lion Ring 25/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Won 10-runner handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago, always holding on. Ought to be in the shake-up. Completed a Polytrack hat-trick last month; taking on stronger opposition this time.
10
10th (10) (14/1 -100%) Eldeyaar
14
14/1(-100%)
(10) Eldeyaar 14/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 12 days ago, kept up to work. Very much one to consider. Two front-running 6f wins last month; well on top at Ripon latest; up in class; chance.
18:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Alfa Whiteburd and Eldeyaar, along with the much-improved Lion Ring, are strong contenders despite creeping up in the ratings for their most recent successes. Whereas, Oso Rapido enters calculations from 16lb below his last win. However, it is BELLAGIO MAN who captures the imagination most. A C&D winner off 15lb higher in February 2023, the selection is hard to ignore in a wide-open race.
A competitive handicap but it's hard to side against INDIVAR who still looks ahead of his mark under a 6 lb penalty for his impressive recent Newcastle success. Kempton scorer Liosa heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Eldeyaar, My Awele and Alfa Whiteburd.
Six last-time-out winners and it could be that INDIVAR is the best handicapped. My Awele and Bibendum look best of the rest.
(4) Vilaine Verlaine 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 9 in nursery at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 21 days ago. Bred to improve for this trip so one of the likelier sorts. Finished well to go close on nursery debut at Yarmouth; looks interesting upped to 1m2f.
5
2nd (5) (5/2 +17%) Moonlit Stage
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(5) Moonlit Stage 5/2, Confirmed promise of his Wolverhampton run when winning 11-runner nursery at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago by neck from Bebside. Carries penalty, which may make upholding the form tricky. Pulled clear with Bebside when scoring at Newcastle (1m2f); respected under penalty.
8
3rd (8) (11/4 +8%) Bebside
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(8) Bebside 11/4, Big step forward when excellent neck second of 11 to Moonlit Stage in nursery at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago, staying on well. Makes polytrack debut. On a lenient mark eased 2 lb. Went close behind Moonlit Stage at Newcastle last week; big player off 2lb lower here.
7
4th (7) (8/1 +20%) Corpus Juris
8
8/1(+20%)
(7) Corpus Juris 8/1, Creditable 7 lengths sixth of 11 to Moonlit Stage in nursery (11/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago. Blinkers need to draw out more. Six-race maiden who was a well-held sixth behind Moonlit Stage last week; blinkers added.
3
5th (3) (17/2 +29%) Kon'nichiwa
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(3) Kon'nichiwa 17/2, 5/1 and tongue strap on for first time, respectable fifth of 9 in nursery at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 41 days ago, hampered. Up in trip for polytrack debut. Six-race maiden who has yet to be placed and he needs to find more at this new trip.
2
6th (2) (22/1 -120%) Coverbridge
22
22/1(-120%)
(2) Coverbridge 22/1, Made second start a winning one at Newcastle in June. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, creditable fifth of 12 in nursery at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 33 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Held in three nurseries but he's a possible improver now upped to this trip.
6
7th (6) (12/1 -50%) Winston's Folly
12
12/1(-50%)
(6) Winston's Folly 12/1, Fifth of 6 in novice at Epsom (7f, soft, 33/1) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut for top yard but he does need to raise his game considerably from this mark. Brother to a 1m2f AW winner and he could show a lot more upped in trip on nursery debut.
1
8th (1) (9/1 -29%) Kilpatrick Prince
9
9/1(-29%)
(1) Kilpatrick Prince 9/1, Fifth of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Bath (8f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip for nursery debut and he's going the right way. Has improved with each of his three runs; needs close look upped to 1m2f on nursery debut.
9
9th (9) (33/1 -136%) Aleishka
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Aleishka 33/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in nursery (9/2) at Redcar (8f, good) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Very hard to make a case for. Has stamina on her dam's side but she needs a transformation on this step up to 1m2f.
18:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BEBSIDE (second) couldn't get past Moonlit Stage when the pair met in this grade at Newcastle last week, but he is 8lb better off this time around. The son of Iffraaj has lots in his favour to reverse that form and might be able to record his first career success. Vilaine Verlaine showed a lot more on her nursery debut when second at Yarmouth and is another to consider.
BEBSIDE and Moonlit Stage dominated the first 10f nursery of the season at Newcastle a week ago and they are the pair to focus on again. An 8 lb pull in the weights strongly suggests the former will take his revenge this time.
Moonlit Stage beat BEBSIDE at Newcastle last week but the latter is 2lb lower here and may be able to turn the tables.
(6) Trident 2/5, Promising type. 5/2, second of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 23 days ago, no match for winner. That was a positive start to his career and he's the one to beat. Second on his Newcastle debut last month, a head in front of Jodhpur Blue; the one to beat.
3
2nd (3) (11/4 -22%) Jodhpur Blue
2.75
11/4(-22%)
(3) Jodhpur Blue 11/4, Thrice-raced gelding. Third of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 5/1) 23 days ago. Appears to be gradually getting better with experience and likely to be in the mix here. Some promise on turf before finishing third at Newcastle, a head behind Trident; a player.
4
3rd (4) (28/1 -75%) Kisdon Force
28
28/1(-75%)
(4) Kisdon Force 28/1, 40,000 gns foal, 60,000 gns yearling, Land Force gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Make Believe. Entitled to come on for the run. Winning newcomers from the yard are rare.
7
4th (7) (13/2 +7%) Wide Margin
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(7) Wide Margin 13/2, Promising sort. 80/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Kempton (8f) when last seen 10 months ago (gelded since). Capable of better but he will likely come into his own when switched to handicaps. Out of the frame in four starts on the AW late last year; transformation required.
9
5th (9) (40/1 +20%) Sky Lagoon
40
40/1(+20%)
(9) Sky Lagoon 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in maiden (150/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Well held in both starts and was well behind two of these at Newcastle last month.
2
6th (2) (66/1 -164%) Instant Bond
66
66/1(-164%)
(2) Instant Bond 66/1, Intrinsic gelding. Brother to smart 5f-6f winner Intrinsic Bond and half-brother to 6f-7f winner Billy Wedge and 1m winner Premiership. Dam unraced. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers but he's worth a peek in the betting all the same. Some appeal on pedigree but stable not known for winning newcomers.
1
7th (1) (250/1 -400%) Howay Never
250
250/1(-400%)
(1) Howay Never 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 125/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Readily passed over. Well beaten in first two starts; may show more once handicapped.
5
8th (5) (100/1 -52%) Prince Elliot
100
100/1(-52%)
(5) Prince Elliot 100/1, Outstrip gelding. Dam of little account, half-sister to smart 7f-8.3f winner Moone's My Name. Doesn't have the look of a first-time-out winner on paper. Stable 0-32 with newcomers in past five seasons.
8
9th (8) (200/1 -203%) Gibraltar Le Bleu
200
200/1(-203%)
(8) Gibraltar Le Bleu 200/1, Once-raced mare on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in novice (200/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) on Flat debut 36 days ago. Down in trip and she's difficult to fancy. Well beaten in a Worcester bumper and a Lingfield novice; little appeal.
18:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Just a head separated TRIDENT (second) and Jodhpur Blue (third) at Newcastle last month. The former wasn't done any favours by the draw on that occasion and, open to more progression on just his second start, he can cement his authority. The rest with experience appear a modest bunch and with that in mind, Kisdon Force, a 60,000gns purchase as a yearling, strikes as the most compelling of the newcomers.
It's hard to look beyond TRIDENT, who was a promising second on his introduction at Newcastle and that experience will not be wasted on him. Jodhpur Blue was a decent third at the same course last month and is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Wide Margin.
This is between old rivals TRIDENT and Jodhpur Blue. A head separated them at Newcastle last month, but the form can be confirmed.
(3) Earl Of Rochester 11/10, Promising type. 15/2, third of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut. Off 175 days. Up in trip. Plenty more to come and is fancied to open his account. One of three to pull away over 1m at Newmarket in the spring; clearly sets the standard.
7
(7) (15/8 +69%) Watts To Freedom
1.875
15/8(+69%)
(7) Watts To Freedom 15/8, 800,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Kapour out of useful 1m/9f winner Kitcat. Interesting newcomer for top yard who also have Earl of Rochester. 800,000gns yearling; interesting to see how he goes in the market versus Earl Of Rochester.
1
1st (1) (4/6 +81%) Buon Viaggio
0.666667
4/6(+81%)
(1) Buon Viaggio 4/6, Promising individual. Fourth of 10 in novice (8/1) at Newcastle (8f) 30 days ago. Longer trip should help and he's capable of better. Tonight's longer trip should be fine; one of a handful with realistic claims.
2
2nd (2) (8/1 +33%) Comet Chaser
8
8/1(+33%)
(2) Comet Chaser 8/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 7 in novice at Kempton (12f) on debut 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. May do better. Entitled to improve but the emphasis will be more on speed over this distance round here.
6
3rd (6) (14/1 -40%) Vinny's Dream
14
14/1(-40%)
(6) Vinny's Dream 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in novice (11/10) at Catterick (12.1f, firm) 52 days ago. Has more on his plate tonight and it may be in handicaps that he makes his mark.
4
4th (4) (5/2 +79%) Landing Board
2.5
5/2(+79%)
(4) Landing Board 5/2, 190,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Hello Deira. Interesting newcomer on paper. 190,000gns yearling; this trip is no certainty on pedigree and the market will guide.
10
5th (10) (33/1 +34%) Thankyou Baroness
33
33/1(+34%)
(10) Thankyou Baroness 33/1, Sea The Moon filly. Dam German 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 8.5f. Dam has produced nothing of note; yard is best known for older horses.
8
6th (8) (20/1 +39%) Forest Haze
20
20/1(+39%)
(8) Forest Haze 20/1, Garswood filly. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 12.5f, half-sister to smart winner up to 2m Notarised. Dam won on her debut for Mark Johnston but it would be a surprise to see this filly figure.
9
7th (9) (40/1 -21%) Ring That Bell
40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Ring That Bell 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f, 18/1). Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. Off for nine months and is likely to find life easier once handicapping after tonight.
5
8th (5) (100/1 +0%) Pottersmattyeeehaa
100
100/1(+0%)
(5) Pottersmattyeeehaa 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (11.1f) 14 days ago. Low-grade handicaps are probably next on the agenda.
18:45 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EARL OF ROCHESTER shaped with bundles of promise when only finding two subsequent winners too good on his debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket in April. The son of Dubawi might not need to find much improvement in order to strike. Buon Viaggio hasn't been disgraced on both starts so far and is respected, while Vinny's Dream is another to watch out for.
EARL OF ROCHESTER shaped with a good deal of encouragement in a well-contested maiden at Newmarket earlier in the campaign and, while the absence since is something of a concern, he's still the one to beat, with Buon Viaggio regarded as the main threat. Watts to Freedom, a well-bred stablemate of the selection, is another one to note.
The Gosdens looks to hold the key, with EARL OF ROCHESTER setting a good standard for newcomer Watts To Freedom to aim at.
(12) Lady Of Time 18/1, Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 4/1). Off 107 days. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for. 0-7 but ran well in last two starts on turf; wouldn't need to find much more on AW debut.
11
2nd (11) (25/1 -150%) Fiftyshadesaresdev
25
25/1(-150%)
(11) Fiftyshadesaresdev 25/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 5/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Merits consideration. Not beaten far at Newcastle last month but not so good there last time; 0-26 under rules.
3
3rd (3) (18/1 +28%) Sisterandbrother
18
18/1(+28%)
(3) Sisterandbrother 18/1, 33/1, last of 7 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago and a minor role is probably the best his connections can hope for. 2lb below last winning mark, but out of the frame in all four starts on the AW.
2
4th (2) (5/2 +58%) Kalikapour
2.5
5/2(+58%)
(2) Kalikapour 5/2, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to firm, 10/3) 21 days ago. Down another 1 lb and he has to enter calculations. Third in his last two starts on turf and could again go well down another 1lb.
1
5th (1) (10/1 +38%) Lenny's Spirit
10
10/1(+38%)
(1) Lenny's Spirit 10/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Down to a dangerous mark but he needs to bounce back in a major way. 10lb below last winning mark, but 1-21 on the AW and modest of late.
9
6th (9) (33/1 -230%) Lednikov
33
33/1(-230%)
(9) Lednikov 33/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good). Off 150 days and cheekpieces back on. 14lb below last winning mark, but modest this year and back from another five months off.
4
7th (4) (16/5 +47%) The Pug
3.2
16/5(+47%)
(4) The Pug 16/5, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 6/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 29 days ago. Capable of making his presence felt off this reduced mark. Record over C&D reads 112; 4lb below his last winning mark and respected.
6
8th (6) (13/2 +7%) Olympicus
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(6) Olympicus 13/2, 5/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 16 days ago, slowly away. Will need to improve now switched to tapeta if he's to have any chance here. 9lb below sole winning mark, but not shown much since returning in June.
8
9th (8) (11/1 +31%) Zooks
11
11/1(+31%)
(8) Zooks 11/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago and she looks up against it once more. 0-13 under both codes; still not sure what her ideal trip is; opposable.
7
10th (7) (5/1 -150%) Mon Etoile
5
5/1(-150%)
(7) Mon Etoile 5/1, Won 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 7/4) 23 days ago, slowly away. 4 lb rise fair enough and this consistent filly is one of the more appealing candidates. Off the mark when just beating a subsequent winner at Newcastle last time; leading claims.
10
11th (10) (80/1 -471%) On The Bubble
80
80/1(-471%)
(10) On The Bubble 80/1, One win from 3 runs this year. Eighth of 12 in juvenile hurdle (20/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 118 days ago. Opposable. Career has been a contrast so far; not sure what to expect after four months off.
5
12th (5) (40/1 -233%) Oscar Doodle
40
40/1(-233%)
(5) Oscar Doodle 40/1, Seventh of 11 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) on latest start 153 days ago. Runner-up when last seen out in this sphere in April and he's of strong interest on debut for new yard. Four AW wins, but makes his stable debut after five months off and the run may be needed.
19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The recent Newcastle winner Mon Etoile is a player, but it's also worth remembering that it took her 16 attempts to get off the mark. Therefore, dual C&D winner THE PUG is preferred from 4lb below the most recent of those successes. Having hinted at a revival of late, the selection has less to prove than most. Kalikapour and lightly-weighted three-year-old Lady Of Time complete the shortlist.
MON ETOILE deservedly opened her account at Newcastle last month and she looks more than capable of defying this 4 lb higher mark. Next on the list is Kalikapour, who has returned to form with solid placed efforts at Thirsk and Pontefract the last twice, and he should have a part to play. Oscar Doodle and The Pug are others with claims.
Mon Etoile holds good claims but preference is for THE PUG (nap) whose record over C&D reads 112.
(6) Local Music 4/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in June. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 5/1). Off 95 days. Merits respect on return. Nudged up another 2lb for second here last time; needs more again after three months off.
5
2nd (5) (17/2 -183%) Ultramarine
8.5
17/2(-183%)
(5) Ultramarine 17/2, Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago, comfortably. Worth a chance to go in again such was the ease of that victory under this rider. Got it together for Alexandra McDonnell on Tapeta last time; an 8lb rise will test him.
7
3rd (7) (9/2 -13%) All Agleam
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(7) All Agleam 9/2, Latest win at Lingfield in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 21 days ago. Almost certain to be competitive again. Enjoying a consistent season and did nothing wrong from stall 13 over C&D latest; player.
3
4th (3) (16/1 -33%) Revolutionise
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Revolutionise 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in September. 28/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Becoming well treated. Strike-rate in recent times has been poor; found it beyond him at Kempton a fortnight ago.
4
5th (4) (11/2 +45%) G'daay
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(4) G'daay 11/2, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. 12/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 45 days ago. Blinkers back on. Likely to be on the premises. Goes well here and has always tended to do well around this time of year; one to consider.
1
6th (1) (3/1 +70%) Smoky Mountain
3
3/1(+70%)
(1) Smoky Mountain 3/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) 42 days ago. Needs to get back on track and others look more persuasive. Back on his last winning mark and one of his wins came fresh; possibilities.
8
7th (8) (25/1 -150%) Dimsons
25
25/1(-150%)
(8) Dimsons 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, bit below form second of 5 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm). Off 124 days. Makes handicap debut. Will find this tougher. Needs to settle better back from four months off and to improve off this mark.
11
8th (11) (40/1 -233%) Rhythmic Acclaim
40
40/1(-233%)
(11) Rhythmic Acclaim 40/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in June. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, firm) 22 days ago. Not discounted. Hasn't looked to fail for stamina in three 7f runs; just 2lb above her last winning mark.
10
9th (10) (13/2 +46%) Rascal Recknell
6.5
13/2(+46%)
(10) Rascal Recknell 13/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 30 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Evidently felt capable and a lot will hinge on how he settles in the first-time hood.
9
10th (9) (22/1 -57%) Bengurion
22
22/1(-57%)
(9) Bengurion 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Latest win at Kempton in May. 25/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 87 days ago. 2-2 on Polytrack, first time out last year and this; a revival wouldn't shock.
19:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
All Agleam filled the runner-up spot over C&D last month and it would be no surprise to see her have a say off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to LOCAL MUSIC, who finished second in this grade over a mile here in July and makes plenty of appeal back over 7f. Matt Crawley's four-year-old should go well off only 2lb higher, while Smoky Mountain rates best of the rest.
Given how easy ULTRAMARINE cruised to the front, then readily asserted at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, he's worth a chance to defy a rise at the possible expense of the bang-in-form All Agleam, who may not have reached her limit yet. Local Music also deserves respect.
Not beaten far in the last two runnings of this race, three-time C&D winner G'DAAY gets the nod. All Agleam is second choice.
(2) Blenheim Lad 5/4, Won 10-runner handicap at this C&D (13/2) 14 days ago. 3 lb rise tolerable and he should make his presence felt. Off the mark with clearcut win over C&D two weeks ago; big player again up 3lb.
7
2nd (7) (5/2 -67%) Letmebetheboss
2.5
5/2(-67%)
(7) Letmebetheboss 5/2, 9/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 9 days ago, pushed out. Escapes a penalty for that and he will prove a tough to crack if able to reproduce that form back on the AW. Escapes a penalty for his Bath win and has strong claims if he can match that back on AW.
6
3rd (6) (9/1 -100%) The Resdev Way
9
9/1(-100%)
(6) The Resdev Way 9/1, C&D winner. Twenty-five runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (3/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 39 days ago. Live each-way chance. Several good runs at up to 2m for current yard but he's not won since April 2022.
1
4th (1) (66/1 -164%) Fanaigi Linn
66
66/1(-164%)
(1) Fanaigi Linn 66/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft, 66/1) 10 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and while she would have a chance if on song, others nevertheless make more appeal. Ex-Irish 4yo; record of 0-15 and well held in three runs for current yard; down the list.
10
5th (10) (40/1 -60%) Cookie Queen
40
40/1(-60%)
(10) Cookie Queen 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she's not easy to make a case for. Better effort on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f) but she needs to build on that.
3
6th (3) (22/1 +12%) Longuerue
22
22/1(+12%)
(3) Longuerue 22/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Ninth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (17.1f, good) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others preferred. Won at Yarmouth in August but she's struggled in both subsequent runs; risks attached.
9
7th (9) (16/1 -129%) Mimasusa
16
16/1(-129%)
(9) Mimasusa 16/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (11/4) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and she needs to get back on track. Seven-race maiden who has been tailed off last twice; needs major revival in blinkers.
5
8th (5) (25/1 +0%) Oasis Prince
25
25/1(+0%)
(5) Oasis Prince 25/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 28 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere. Fair run at Newcastle after wind surgery but this looks tougher and last win was in 2022.
8
9th (8) (40/1 -21%) Northgate
40
40/1(-21%)
(8) Northgate 40/1, 33/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip and hood on 1st time. Opposable. Seven-race maiden and his form has gone the wrong way in handicaps; down the list.
4
10th (4) (7/1 +13%) Catrake Force
7
7/1(+13%)
(4) Catrake Force 7/1, Good third of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good, 16/1) 8 days ago. 4 lb lower back on the AW and, if able to perform to similar level here, she will be in with a shout. Close third upped to 1m6f at Musselburgh last week and she's 4lb lower here; interesting.
19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LETMEBETHEBOSS appeared to relish the step up in trip when fairly bolting up over 1m5f at Bath last week and, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice handicap, he looks the one to side with. Blenheim Lad did it well when scoring over C&D last month and he must enter calculations off 3lb higher, while better can be expected from Mimasusa now she sports blinkers for the first time.
LETMEBETHEBOSS raised his game when getting off the mark at Bath last week and, with no penalty to carry, he is confidently expected to strike again. Next on the list is Catrake Force, who performed with credit when finishing in the money at Musselburgh recently. A 3 lb rise for Blenheim Lad's C&D success a fortnight ago doesn't look excessive and he is third choice.
An interesting race in which recent C&D winner BLENHEIM LAD gets the vote ahead of last week's Bath winner Letmebetheboss.
(1) Silver Nightfall 3/1, 9/4, shaped well when second of 7 in handicap at this course (10f) 21 days ago, finishing with running left after meeting trouble. Is on a winning mark and worth a chance to take advantage. Another in-form effort here latest; the visor has helped; looks set to go well once more.
5
2nd (5) (5/2 +0%) Unreal Connection
2.5
5/2(+0%)
(5) Unreal Connection 5/2, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (8f) 20 days ago. Another solid showing is expected. Usually ridden patiently and will want a proper test over tonight's easy 1m; claims.
7
3rd (7) (10/1 +29%) Elderflower
10
10/1(+29%)
(7) Elderflower 10/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good, 50/1) 22 days ago. Others make more appeal. Regressive maiden who's finished well held in her two handicaps.
4
4th (4) (33/1 -136%) Deep Blue
33
33/1(-136%)
(4) Deep Blue 33/1, Last of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Goes in first-time headgear after an ordinary effort back on Polytrack last time.
2
5th (2) (2/1 +75%) Bayadere
2
2/1(+75%)
(2) Bayadere 2/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Not dismissed. Looking exposed now and will need a career-best effort on her Polytrack debut.
3
6th (3) (15/2 -88%) Wadacre Tivoli
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(3) Wadacre Tivoli 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Likely to be on the premises. Shapes as though she'll be fine with the drop in trip on AW debut; maybe capable of better.
6
7th (6) (28/1 -100%) Dream Seeker
28
28/1(-100%)
(6) Dream Seeker 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 40/1) 24 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Debut second on Tapeta amounted to little and she's struggled in the hood since.
19:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SILVER NIGHTFALL has shown improved form since sporting a visor (retained) the last twice, finishing runner-up on both occasions, and this appeals as an ideal winning opportunity. She would have finished closer to the eventual winner if granted a clear run over 1m2f here last month. This drop in trip can see Wadacre Tivoli emerge as the main danger, while Dream Seeker remains unexposed in handicaps and merits consideration.
SILVER NIGHTFALL is on a good mark and has been shaping like she's ready to capitalise, notably when a strong-finishing second after meeting trouble over 10f here three weeks ago. She's preferred to Unreal Connection and Wadacre Tivoli, who should give their running.
Preference is for WADACRE TIVOLI, who should be suited by the drop in trip on her AW debut. Silver Nightfall rates the main danger.
(3) Wahraan 8/1, Temperamental sort. Latest win at Newbury in June. Last of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Looks risky. Slow breaks have become a habit and remains 3lb above his last winning mark.
8
2nd (8) (7/2 +0%) Galactic Charm
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(8) Galactic Charm 7/2, Winner at Newmarket in August. 7/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt here off the same mark. Latest Yarmouth third has been boosted; placed in all three starts on AW; should go well.
5
3rd (5) (8/1 +20%) Howth
8
8/1(+20%)
(5) Howth 8/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 8/1) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Couldn't rule out. 2lb lower than for his win over this trip at Wolverhampton in March; one for the shortlist.
9
4th (9) (11/4 +21%) Across Earth
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(9) Across Earth 11/4, Winner at Yarmouth in July. 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good) 33 days ago, slowly away. Too free on that occasion and will have a chance if settling better this time. Won over this trip on turf; in the frame in all four AW starts; chance if settling better.
7
5th (7) (10/1 -100%) Knights Affair
10
10/1(-100%)
(7) Knights Affair 10/1, Latest win at Redcar in August. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (18.1f, good to firm, 7/2) 26 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip and he's one to consider. Has won two of his last four starts on turf; ran well over C&D in only previous go on AW.
2
6th (2) (9/2 -13%) Cool Party
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(2) Cool Party 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. 2-5 on the AW and he's high on the shortlist. Made all over C&D in April; a player if again left alone in front.
1
7th (1) (22/1 -100%) Solent Gateway
22
22/1(-100%)
(1) Solent Gateway 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this 6-y-o looks vulnerable. Inconsistent and hasn't finished within 19l of the winner in last four starts on the AW.
4
8th (4) (9/1 +18%) Diamond Bay
9
9/1(+18%)
(4) Diamond Bay 9/1, 28/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good) 19 days ago. Back down in trip and this 6-y-o isn't as appealing as several of these rivals. 5lb lower than when successful over this trip at Wolverhampton just over a year ago.
6
9th (6) (40/1 -21%) Lunar Power
40
40/1(-21%)
(6) Lunar Power 40/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (16f) 24 days ago. Blinkers back on and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Not shone in nine starts under both codes for this yard; others make greater appeal.
20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GALACTIC CHARM caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish third over this trip at Yarmouth last month and that form has since been franked by the runner-up. Off an unchanged mark, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. The class-dropping Cool Party was in winning form over C&D on his penultimate start and is the main danger. Knights Affair wasn't disgraced in a competitive handicap at Musselburgh latest and needs to be taken seriously too.
COOL PARTY was successful back from a break over C&D in April and, having shaped well when fourth back from an absence when fourth at Ayr recently, he is the most appealing option. Glactic Charm arrives on the back of a solid third at Yarmouth and is feared along with Across Earth, who can bounce back returned to calmer waters.
The vote goes to COOL PARTY who made all over C&D in April. He may again prove hard to catch if left alone in front.
(7) United Force 25/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Has a bit to prove on the back of that. Disappointing since his Yarmouth win in July and needs another return to form.
1
2nd (1) (15/2 +6%) Adace
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(1) Adace 15/2, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 24 days ago. Should be on the premises. Triple Polytrack winner who went close at Windsor two runs back; dangerous back on AW.
6
3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Cobh Harbour
4
4/1(+20%)
(6) Cobh Harbour 4/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Makes polytrack debut. Good chance. 0-11 but he's generally reliable and has each-way claims back up in trip.
10
4th (10) (15/2 +38%) Starshot
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(10) Starshot 15/2, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 6/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Not seen to best effect last time and worth treating as still in form. Inconsistent 19-race maiden who was beaten 11l at Beverley last time; others preferred.
3
5th (3) (14/1 +44%) River Alwen
14
14/1(+44%)
(3) River Alwen 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 66/1) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy. Last win was in Hong Kong 13 months ago and has generally struggled this season; opposable.
12
6th (12) (5/1 +69%) Struck Gold
5
5/1(+69%)
(12) Struck Gold 5/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 50/1) 28 days ago. C&D winner but he's been well held in last four runs and needs to turn things around.
4
7th (4) (9/1 +44%) Edmund Ironside
9
9/1(+44%)
(4) Edmund Ironside 9/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 17 days ago. On a handy mark and may strip fitter for latest effort. On dangerous mark but he needs to raise his game back on Polytrack.
13
8th (13) (50/1 -52%) Kodiac Brave
50
50/1(-52%)
(13) Kodiac Brave 50/1, 125/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Struggling for form and looks up against it. Ex-Hong Kong; yet to show much for current yard and he's now 0-20.
9
9th (9) (25/1 -150%) Gatwick Kitten
25
25/1(-150%)
(9) Gatwick Kitten 25/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others are more persuasive. All wins have been at sprint trips and he's 0-11 on turf; down the list.
5
10th (5) (4/1 +20%) Capallcliste
4
4/1(+20%)
(5) Capallcliste 4/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 9/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Respected. 0-19 but he's finished second on Polytrack in last three runs; respected back up in trip.
8
11th (8) (7/1 +0%) Warrior Square
7
7/1(+0%)
(8) Warrior Square 7/1, 8/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. On a fair mark but isn't at the top of his game right now. Not easy to predict but he's now 2lb lower than for last win and is not ruled out.
11
12th (11) (25/1 -56%) Tilsworth Max
25
25/1(-56%)
(11) Tilsworth Max 25/1, Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this course (7f) 12 days ago. Must improve if he's to make any sort of impact. First signs of promise at Lingfield but he's not built on that in two runs since.
20:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Though his winless run continues, CAPALLCLISTE has been shaping as if this return to further would be right up his street having finished runner-up over 7f on each of his last three starts. Oh So Audacious has been running consistently well this season and she must enter calculations off 3lb higher than her last winning mark, while Cobh Harbour is also noteworthy.
COBH HARBOUR has slipped to an appealing mark and was back to form at Wolverhampton last time, finishing well. If he can build on that he might have enough to see off the in-form mare Oh So Audacious, who is unlikely to be far away. Starshot is also considered.
The vote goes to triple Polytrack winner ADACE who is on a workable mark back on AW and could make a big impact if she gets the breaks.
(8) Sugar Hill Babe 6/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in July. Good second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 21 days ago. Live each-way chance. Comes here at the top of her game and looks set to go well once more.
1
2nd (1) (13/2 -8%) Paddy's Day
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(1) Paddy's Day 13/2, Good second of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Has good chance on form. Conditions should suit and he's a strong contender dropping back into a Class 5.
3
3rd (3) (16/1 -33%) Dark Kestrel
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Dark Kestrel 16/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. 33/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Heading back in the right direction recently. Talented but his tendency to fluff the start makes him a risky proposition.
7
4th (7) (13/2 +59%) Ancient Times
6.5
13/2(+59%)
(7) Ancient Times 13/2, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 82 days ago. Every chance if back to best. On a losing run but this is a drop in class and he handles Tapeta; each-way shout.
6
5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Maris Angel
5
5/1(+9%)
(6) Maris Angel 5/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Redcar in September. 7/4, creditable second of 11 in handicap at the same course (5f, good) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Record of 112 in handicaps, all last month; not fully exposed & mark still looks in range.
2
6th (2) (14/1 +44%) Ganesha
14
14/1(+44%)
(2) Ganesha 14/1, Last of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, hampered. Hood on 1st time. Chance on old form. Should be well treated but it's been a struggle this year; hooded for this drop to Class 5.
11
6th (11) (22/1 -175%) Call Glory
22
22/1(-175%)
(11) Call Glory 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023 andfFirst run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Place possibilities. Has dropped in weights but needs a change of scenery to spark a full revival; no headgear.
10
8th (10) (18/1 -29%) Match Play
18
18/1(-29%)
(10) Match Play 18/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in August. 10/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 33 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs to get back on track. Had excuses since his Yarmouth win in August; has the ability to feature off this mark.
4
9th (4) (10/1 -150%) Jungle Run
10
10/1(-150%)
(4) Jungle Run 10/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, suited by way race developed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Chasing a four-timer and latest C&D win was backed up by the clock; one to take seriously.
12
10th (12) (15/2 +0%) Miss Brazen
7.5
15/2(+0%)
(12) Miss Brazen 15/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Shaped nicely when third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Not taken lightly from this reduced mark. Not quite found her 3yo best this year but handicapped accordingly; AW debut.
5
11th (5) (28/1 -250%) Rodborough
28
28/1(-250%)
(5) Rodborough 28/1, Three-time C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 3-time C&D winner; should be at concert pitch after two recent turf runs; better expected.
9
12th (9) (17/2 -13%) See You Tonight
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(9) See You Tonight 17/2, Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 3/1) 40 days ago. Current mark looks a fair one and she's one to consider. Held back by her refusal to settle but has ability and the drop to 5f could help.
20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Paddy's Day was narrowly denied over 5f at Beverley last month and a 1lb rise for that shouldn't prevent another bold bid. That said, JUNGLE RUN is narrowly preferred. Tom Clover's charge completed a hat-trick in fine style over C&D recently and gets the nod to defy a 7lb rise. Maris Angel was thwarted in her bid for a three-timer at Redcar latest, but cannot be overlooked.
It can pay to side with PADDY'S DAY, who went close at Beverley last month and a 1 lb nudge for that is fair enough. Jungle Run completed the hat-trick in pretty good style over C&D a fortnight ago and he is feared most ahead of Sugar Hill Babe and Miss Brazen.
A competitive sprint but PADDY'S DAY has been threatening all season and this could be his day. Match Play is next best.

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.
