---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (6) (7/1 +22%) Wyenot |
7/1(+22%) | (6) Wyenot 7/1, Won a trio of novice hurdles last season and ran creditably pitched into better company when third in 9-runner listed event at this course (20.2f) 6 months ago. Makes handicap debut from a fair-looking mark. 3-5 in novice hurdles last season and may have some improvement to come in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (17/2 +15%) Anna Bunina |
17/2(+15%) | (2) Anna Bunina 17/2, Useful hurdler who ran better than for a while when fifth of 15 at Bellewstown in August. Creditable effort in the Cesarewitch Handicap back on the Flat since. Ran well in the Cesarewitch this month and reverts to hurdling with conditions suitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (16/1 -100%) Anyharminasking |
16/1(-100%) | (3) Anyharminasking 16/1, Right back on the up when second at Newbury (20.5f) in December but didn't impress with his finishing effort at Doncaster and Kelso last 2 outings. Wears first-time cheekpieces on seasonal return. No win since early 2022 but ran big race in defeat on last season's reappearance outing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (9/2 +18%) Letterston Lily |
9/2(+18%) | (12) Letterston Lily 9/2, Bumper winner at the third attempt and made it 2-3 in novice hurdles at Worcester (20f) in August. Cemented her positive start when creditable third on handicap debut back at that venue but it was a bit disconcerting she shaped to run out and unseated at the first at Chepstow 13 days ago. Third in valuable series final on last month's handicap debut and may still have potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/1 +29%) Push The Button |
5/1(+29%) | (4) Push The Button 5/1, Progressive in bumpers and made it 2 wins from 3 starts over hurdles when taking 7-runner novice (21f, heavy) at Warwick last November. Off since but yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and he's a most interesting handicap debutant. Looked promising when 2-3 in novice hurdles last autumn; considered on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/2 -17%) In The Air |
7/2(-17%) | (9) In The Air 7/2, 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) earlier in the month. Had more in hand the margin implies when following up under a 7-lb penalty at Exeter and looks sure to go well in his-hat-trick bid. Resurgent 6yo who is 2-2 for new stable this month and remains well treated on old form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (16/1 +43%) Royale Margaux |
16/1(+43%) | (10) Royale Margaux 16/1, Prolific in France but winless for this yard and effort typically proved short-lived at Uttoxeter on final outing in May. Back over hurdles now with plenty to prove. Has lost her way over fences this year; back hurdling after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (10/1 -43%) Callin Baton Rouge |
10/1(-43%) | (13) Callin Baton Rouge 10/1, Is on a roll for her new yard, making it 3 wins from as many starts in 9-runner handicap at Stratford (16.3f, good) 48 days ago, readily. Hiked up 12 lb but may not yet have finished improving. 3-3 since claimed out of a seller in May; hiked up in grade today, though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (18/1 +18%) American Sniper |
18/1(+18%) | (7) American Sniper 18/1, Resumed winning ways in first-time tongue strap here last November but ended last season on a low-key note and fared no better on his reappearance in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow 13 days ago. Won 20-runner handicap here last autumn but not in the same form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (50/1 -52%) Deep Cave |
50/1(-52%) | (5) Deep Cave 50/1, Successful chaser in France who doubled his career tally when bagging 10-runner minor event hurdle at Clairefontaine (17.7f, soft) in July. Handicapper has taken no chances with his mark now starting out for another new yard. Has changed hands since slow-ground win in France in July; market may guide here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (33/1 +18%) Bass Rock |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Bass Rock 33/1, Chase/hurdles winner but struggled for form over fences last season and now reverts to hurdling for a new yard (had left Sandy Thomson) after 6 months off. Out of form last season but makes stable debut from very tempting mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (66/1 -65%) Annsam |
66/1(-65%) | (1) Annsam 66/1, Likeable chaser who scored twice over 3m last season. Much lower in the weights in this sphere but is possibly using this as a pipe-opener ahead of a return to chasing. Very useful 3m chaser at his best but absent since April 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (11) (9/1 -38%) Support Act |
9/1(-38%) | (11) Support Act 9/1, Fairly useful bumper winner who proved a vastly different proposition to on his hurdling debut when dispatching a last-time-out winner with the minimum of fuss in a Doncaster novice (16.6f) in February. Into handicaps now and looks sure to go on to better things. Won Doncaster novice very comfortably in February and remains very unexposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
A progressive mare throughout most of her novice campaign, WYENOT was last seen finishing a highly creditable third here behind a Festival winner in April. A mark of 123 on her handicap debut could prove lenient and she is narrowly preferred to In The Air, who arrives on a hat-trick following recent victories at Southwell and Exeter. Callin Baton Rouge has been a revelation since joining new connections and must be thereabouts, along with Push The Button and Support Act.
IN THE AIR has revived in no uncertain terms for his new yard and, having defied a penalty with more in hand than the bare margin would suggest at Exeter 15 days ago, he is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Support Act and Push The Button are a pair of interesting handicap debutantes who require the utmost respect.
Nicky Henderson's IN THE AIR has been back in prime form for his new stable this month and is taken to compete a quickfire hat-trick.

1st (1) (13/8 +35%) Glittering Legend |
13/8(+35%) | (1) Glittering Legend 13/8, Gelded after debut and much improved when winning 10-runner maiden at Goodwood last month. 3/1, similar form when fourth of 5 in conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, soft) 26 days ago, despite not looking totally at ease on the track. Makes nursery debut and should have more to offer. 1m Goodwood maiden win; better than result in decent race at Epsom since; more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/4 +9%) Attack |
5/4(+9%) | (2) Attack 5/4, €460,000 Wootton Bassett colt who built on earlier promise to land the odds in 10-runner maiden at Epsom (7f) in July. Stuck to his task well when third on nursery debut at Newmarket and 1m is sure to suit. 7f maiden win in July; good third on recent 7f Newmarket nursery debut; should stay 1m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/2 -65%) Chesneys Charm |
11/2(-65%) | (3) Chesneys Charm 11/2, Three wins from 7 runs this year, latest of them at Newcastle early this month on debut for new yard. 22/1, better than result when fourth of 10 in nursery at York (7.9f, soft) 13 days ago, staying on well having been short of room. Three AW wins but York fourth shows he acts on turf, particularly as he met trouble. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (17/2 -21%) Mayday Malone |
17/2(-21%) | (4) Mayday Malone 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden who ran up to form when fourth of 7 in nursery (3/1) at Goodwood (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Lacked a change of pace so 1m looks well worth exploring. Sound start to nursery career when fourth over 7f at Goodwood recently; steps up to 1m now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ATTACK was not beaten far when third on his nursery debut over 7f at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago. The step up in trip should help this son of Wootton Bassett and he can defy a 2lb rise. Glittering Legend could prove to be the main threat, despite a slightly underwhelming effort at Epsom last time, while Mayday Malone is next best.
ATTACK improved again when third at Newmarket a fortnight ago and with the step up to 1m very much in his favour, he looks the way to go. Chesneys Charm was better than the result in a stronger race than this at York last time and already a 3-time winner, he's a threat, along with Glittering Legend.
Glittering Legend (second choice) and Attack are promising but it might be worth taking them on with CHESNEYS CHARM.

1st (1) (13/8 +7%) Zikany |
13/8(+7%) | (1) Zikany 13/8, Fairly useful performer who left both previous starts behind this season when bolting up by 17 lengths in 11-runner handicap at Goodwood (16f, heavy) 12 days ago, benefiting from a patient ride the way the race developed. Leading claims under a penalty faced with similar conditions. Back to life for 17l win at Goodwood (2m, heavy) 12 days ago; well treated with a penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (8/1 +50%) Hartur D'oudairies |
8/1(+50%) | (6) Hartur D'oudairies 8/1, Has plenty of form in testing conditions over jumps and took a step forward on handicap debut in this sphere when sixth of 14 at York (10.2f, heavy) just under 2 weeks ago, staying on well. This extra distance is sure to suit so he shouldn't be underestimated. It's easy to think that he will be a lot more potent this time with the longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (7/2 +75%) Grey Owl |
7/2(+75%) | (8) Grey Owl 7/2, Got off the mark after a string of consistent efforts at Salisbury in August. Good third next time and shaped as if still in good form when 7½ lengths fourth of 10 to Russian Rumour at Bath (17.1f, heavy) recently, a longer trip and softer ground finding him out. Others more appealing. 1m6f win in August; looked stretched by 2m1f on heavy when 4th to Russian Rumour at Bath. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/1 -27%) Tailorman |
7/1(-27%) | (3) Tailorman 7/1, Scrambled home at Kempton last month but having been sent off odds-on, disappointed off his new mark when 4¾ lengths last of 5 to Naasma back there (16f) 11 days ago, possible that waiting tactics in a race run at a dawdle didn't suit. Can bounce back returned to turf. Never having raced on worse than good to soft poses the biggest question. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/1 -83%) Russian Rumour |
11/1(-83%) | (4) Russian Rumour 11/1, Thorough stayer and relished a real slog to double his tally for the season in 10-runner handicap at Bath (17.1f, heavy) just over a fortnight ago, finding plenty when it looked like she was going to be swallowed up approaching 2f out. Just 3 lb higher here and should go well again. Ffos Las 2m win made it two good runs in a row on heavy, which demands plenty of respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (12/1 -33%) Surrey Charm |
12/1(-33%) | (7) Surrey Charm 12/1, Showed benefit of reappearance when second of 13 at Bath (13f, soft) earlier this month, doing all she could against an improved 3-y-o. Upped further in trip and will need a career best if she's to add another victory to her tally. Acts on heavy; never-nearer second of 13 at Bath (upped to 1m5f) on latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (33/1 -313%) Naasma |
33/1(-313%) | (2) Naasma 33/1, Reliable mare especially on all-weather and resumed winning ways from a mark just 1 lb higher than at Windsor on her reappearance in 5-runner handicap at Kempton (16f) 11 days ago, edging ahead final 100 yds. Carries a penalty but disappointed on sole previous start on soft last month. AW win last time; kept her form pretty well this term but the exception was on soft ground. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Zikany clearly needed a couple of runs to get back to peak fitness after a lengthy absence and he arrives carrying a 5lb penalty for a wide-margin success at Goodwood. A bold bid is expected once again with similar conditions prevailing, but recent Bath scorer RUSSIAN RUMOUR may have the edge. The daughter of Make Believe relished testing ground on that occasion and is only 3lb higher. Others to consider are Tailorman and Naasma.
It's hard to get away from ZIKANY, who sluiced through the mud to score by 17 lengths at Goodwood 12 days ago and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't be enough to prevent him from following up (due to be 4 lb higher in future). Russian Rumour doubled her tally for the campaign at Bath recently so she's put forward as the main threat, with Tailorman, who disappointed when sent off at odds-on at Kempton last time, rounding off the shortlist.
Zikany is hard to beat if judged on his recent Goodwood win but there is an interesting alternative in HARTUR D'OUDAIRIES (nap).

1st (5) (5/6 +17%) Path D'oroux |
5/6(+17%) | (5) Path D'oroux 5/6, Yet to score over fences but acquitted himself well in valuable handicaps over this sort of trip back in the spring, making the frame at Leopardstown, here and Aintree. Returns from 6 months off and every chance he can break his duck in this sphere. Yard won this last year, too. 0-10 over fences but ran some commendable races in defeat in major handicaps last season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (18/1 -13%) Jazzy Matty |
18/1(-13%) | (1) Jazzy Matty 18/1, Fred Winter winner in 2023 and has matched those exploits over fences this season, opening his account at Wexford in August and wasting no time putting a physical mishap behind him to double his tally at Sligo (21.1f, good) recently. Back down in trip and will need to take a step forward. Dual chase winner this season but faces tough assignment under 8lb penalty here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (14/1 +72%) Noble Anthem |
14/1(+72%) | (3) Noble Anthem 14/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who is lightly raced over jumps and clearly learnt plenty from his initial experience over fences when winning 5-runner handicap at Sedgefield (17f, good to soft) earlier this month, quickening clear before last. Better to come but up against some big Irish yards here. Readily won Sedgefield handicap this month but faces much tougher task here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (10/3 +39%) San Salvador |
10/3(+39%) | (2) San Salvador 10/3, Getting his act together over fences now, opening his account at Listowel last month before adding to his tally in Grade 3 at Roscommon (16.7f, soft) 8 days later, showing a superior turn of foot to take care of the outsider. Neither of those wins look bombproof, however. Displayed good turn of foot in Roscommon Grade 3 last month and must be considered here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Gavin Cromwell landed this contest last year and he can do so once more with PATH D'OROUX, who has been presented with a decent opportunity to get off the mark over fences. Third in the Grand Annual over C&D in March, and placed in valuable handicaps either side of that, the seven-year-old sets the standard and may have too much for San Salvador, who arrives on the back of a comfortable Grade 3 success at Roscommon. A Festival winner here in the past, Jazzy Matty cannot be ruled out following a recent victory over 2m5f at Sligo.
A disappointing turnout from British-trained runners but PATH D'OROUX held his form well back in the spring so, provided he's ready to roll, this looks a good opening for Gavin Cromwell's 7-y-o to open his account over the larger obstacles. The main danger may emerge from San Salvador, who is progressive and arrives chasing a quick-fire hat-trick, while Shecouldbeanything, who is declared to run at Clonmel on Thursday, would be a leading player if lining up, too.
This looks a good opportunity for Grand Annual third PATH D'OROUX to get a belated chase win on the board.

1st (3) (10/11 +67%) Solness |
10/11(+67%) | (3) Solness 10/11, Smart chaser. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Listowel (17.7f, good, 13/2) 33 days ago, driven out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Claims if he can replicate his form over the larger obstacles. Progressive chaser is rated 154 over fences; long time since he's run in this sphere. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 -133%) Colonel Mustard |
7/2(-133%) | (2) Colonel Mustard 7/2, Smart hurdler. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 22 lengths third of 4 to State Man in Punchestown Champion Hurdle (33/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, soft) 175 days ago. Hard to beat. Only beaten 11l when fifth in Champion Hurdle, so really should be winning this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (2/1 +0%) Kings Hill |
2/1(+0%) | (4) Kings Hill 2/1, Useful hurdler. 9/4, second of 3 in minor event hurdle at Galway (21.6f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Getting better with each recent run. Hasn't that much to find on paper with Colonel Mustard but beginning to look exposed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This looks a nice starting point for Champion Hurdle fifth COLONEL MUSTARD. Lorna Fowler's charge kept top company when reverting to hurdles last season and was last seen finishing third, albeit well beaten, behind State Man at Punchestown. Solness could be a tough rival, though, if the selection doesn't strip fit enough for his return. Joseph O'Brien's charge won a competitive handicap over fences in Listowel and is now rated 154 in that sphere. Kings Hill still has a few pounds to find on ratings, despite getting weight and Jack Gilligan taking off 7lb. He can't be ruled out, though.
COLONEL MUSTARD was a bit below par in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle when last seen 175 days ago but he still stands out on form and takes preference over Kings Hill. Solness can make his presence felt if matching the form he's shown over fences.
The inclination was to find something with which to take on COLONEL MUSTARD but the Champion Hurdle fifth really should be winning this

1st (3) (7/4 +42%) Janey Mackers |
7/4(+42%) | (3) Janey Mackers 7/4, 72,000 gns New Bay filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner U S S Constitution and 9.5f/1¼m winner Fierospeed. Well-backed 10/3, third of 8 in novice at Yarmouth (8f, good) on debut 18 days ago, showing plenty under this rider. Will improve and seems sure to go well. Promise when third of eight on recent 1m Yarmouth debut; likely to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (18/1 +10%) Rock Camelot |
18/1(+10%) | (7) Rock Camelot 18/1, 65,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Half-sister to useful 1½m winner Amusement. Fifth of 6 in novice (28/1) at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) on debut 71 days ago. Should have more to offer, though looks one for next year. Well held on fast-ground debut in August and needs to leave that well behind. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (14/1 +44%) Bayenah |
14/1(+44%) | (2) Bayenah 14/1, Shown a bit in Sandown/Yarmouth events. Might be one for 2025 over longer trips. Stepped up on debut when fifth at Yarmouth but reopposing Janey Mackers well ahead in 3rd. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/2 +63%) Amalfina |
15/2(+63%) | (1) Amalfina 15/2, Foaled April 9. 38,000 gns foal, Nathaniel filly. Closely related to 9f/1¼m winner Ravioli and half-sister to useful 7f-9f winner Helm Rock. Dam ungenuine 1¼m/11f winner. Well-bred newcomer from a top stable which gets lots of first-time-out winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (10/3 -105%) Queen Of Thieves |
10/3(-105%) | (6) Queen Of Thieves 10/3, Foaled March 7. Frankel filly. Sister to top-class winner up to 1½m Cracksman and useful winner up to 1¼m Frantastic and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Fantastic Moon. Yard send some good ones here and took a division of this in 2022 with Oaks winner Soul Sister. Sister to Cracksman; yard won this with Soul Sister in 2022; market confidence significant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (3/1 +33%) Wonder Star |
3/1(+33%) | (8) Wonder Star 3/1, Foaled February 27. 200,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Wanees and 9f winner Condor Pasa. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for yard that has introduced a couple of exciting fillies this month. From a top yard which had an easy first-time-out 2yo filly winner over 1m on Tuesday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (40/1 -150%) Platinum Crystal |
40/1(-150%) | (5) Platinum Crystal 40/1, Foaled May 17. 65,000 gns yearling, Iffraaj filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 9.5f Lamar and useful winner up to 1m Haddaf. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner. Useful pedigree and worth a look in the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (40/1 +20%) Koko Blue |
40/1(+20%) | (4) Koko Blue 40/1, Has shown a bit in 1m fillies' novices while also looking hard work. Fourth at Ascot on soft last month but well held at Kempton since; others are preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
JANEY MACKERS clearly sets the standard having shown plenty of promise when third on her debut over a mile at Yarmouth earlier in the month. With the benefit of that experience, the daughter of New Bay could be hard to stop. Queen Of Thieves is a full-sister to Cracksman and has to be of interest on her racecourse bow, especially as her stable landed this race in 2022 with the subsequent Oaks winner Soul Sister. Wonder Star is also well bred and is another noteworthy newcomer.
This could go to a newcomer, with QUEEN OF THIEVES taken to emulate her great brother Cracksman and make a successful start for a yard that took one of these in 2022 with subsequent Oaks-winner Soul Sister. Wonder Star is another appealing type, while Janey Mackers is the clear pick of those with experience after her promising Yarmouth debut.
Cracksman's sister QUEEN OF THIEVES gets the nod to make a winning debut in a race where the betting shouold be informative.

1st (9) (15/8 +53%) Spirit Of Farhh |
15/8(+53%) | (9) Spirit Of Farhh 15/8, Knew his job and shaped well when second on debut at Ascot (6f) and similar form when third of 13 in maiden at this course (6f, good to soft) 35 days ago, keeping on inside final 1f. Slightly longer trip here will suit and he ought to be thereabouts again. Clear promise in 6f contests on soft going, latest here; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/2 -75%) Marvelman |
7/2(-75%) | (8) Marvelman 7/2, Invincible Spirit colt who showed ability amid clear signs of greenness on debut at Newmarket (7f) in June. Marked step forward when second of 6 in Salisbury conditions' event (6f) 3 weeks ago and big shout here with prospect of even more to come. Solid effort on heavy ground at Salisbury this month; major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (2/1 +27%) Ultrasoul |
2/1(+27%) | (12) Ultrasoul 2/1, Makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and he matched previous best when second of 10 in maiden at Yarmouth (7f, firm) 37 days ago, no extra only late on behind a useful sort. Worthy of respect here. Thrice-raced colt who brings strong form and commands respect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (125/1 -400%) Excellent Echo |
125/1(-400%) | (6) Excellent Echo 125/1, Due Diligence colt. Showed benefit of his debut experience when seventh of 12 in maiden at this course (6f, good to soft, 125/1) 35 days ago, weakening when headed over 1f out. Syill. Likely handicaps will be more his bag moving forward. Handicaps likely to be more suitable shortly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/1 -43%) Dannick |
10/1(-43%) | (4) Dannick 10/1, Havana Grey colt who left his debut effort in his wake when third of 7 in novice at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, finishing with a flourish. Very much the type to go on improving and forecast conditions will clearly hold no fears. Finished third on heavy ground at Goodwood last time; in the mix. |

6th (13) (20/1 -100%) Boubou |
20/1(-100%) | (13) Boubou 20/1, Foaled February 7. €65,000 foal, €85,000 yearling, Kodiac filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Hurricane Ivor. Dam unraced. One to monitor in the betting for clues on debut. 85,000euros yearling; by Kodiac; major stable; check the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (125/1 -213%) Tuco Salamanca |
125/1(-213%) | (11) Tuco Salamanca 125/1, Son of Belardo who has run to a similar level both starts to date, eighth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) 9 days ago, not knocked about. Handicaps likely to be more his thing moving forward. Has plenty to find on his 7f AW efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (20/1 +39%) The Outlaw |
20/1(+39%) | (10) The Outlaw 20/1, New Bay colt who never figured in a couple of early season 6f maiden/novice events but given a break ahead of this and no surprise were he capable of better for his leading yard. One to monitor in the betting back from 138 days off. Needs to improve sharply on his May/June efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (250/1 -25%) Bruce Banner |
250/1(-25%) | (3) Bruce Banner 250/1, Starspangledbanner gelding who has yet to beat a rival in trio of maiden/novice events at up to 7f. Can only be watched. Poor claims on form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (20/1 -43%) Jarham |
20/1(-43%) | (7) Jarham 20/1, Foaled March 21. 45,000 gns foal, 65,000 gns yearling, Territories colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Decisive Action and 2m winner Wholeofthemoon. Betting can provide a useful guide on racecourse bow. 65,000gns yearling; by Territories; yard has good record with 2yos. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (250/1 -150%) Dovey Moon |
250/1(-150%) | (5) Dovey Moon 250/1, Massaat gelding. Looked very much in need of the experience when last of 12 in novice at Chelmsford (7f, 80/1) on debut 13 days ago, very slowly away and hanging badly right over 3f out. Easy to pass over. Tailed off at Chelmsford having hung badly right on the bend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (40/1 -150%) Almutraf |
40/1(-150%) | (1) Almutraf 40/1, Foaled April 10. Profitable colt. Dam, 9.4f winner, half-sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 14.5f) Detailed. Worth a check in the betting for clues on debut. Profitable colt; yard has a low strike-rate with 2yos this term. |

13th (2) (200/1 -300%) Blackbrook |
200/1(-300%) | (2) Blackbrook 200/1, Foaled April 10. Nathaniel colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Bad Company and 5f winner Sparked. Dam 5f/6f winner. Wears hood. Family has tended to get better with age/experience. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Ultrasoul has shown a decent level of form in the Convivial and with two runner-up efforts at Yarmouth so commands the utmost respect. That said, conditions are much different to what he has encountered to date and MARVELMAN, who was runner-up at Salisbury on heavy ground earlier in the month, appeals more. That was a step forward from his first start and he appears capable of further progression. Spirit Of Farhh has finished in the frame twice on soft ground and has to enter calculations too.
MARVELMAN took a marked step forward from his debut effort when runner-up in a Salisbury conditions' event 3 weeks ago and he holds sound claims back down in class with the prospect of more to come. Ultrasoul and Spirit of Farhh may emerge as the chief threats, though Dannick also commands respect following his eye-catching Goodwood third 12 days ago.
Thrice-raced ULTRASOUL brings strong form and may get off the mark, provided he handles the ground. Spirit Of Farhh is second pick.

1st (4) (3/1 +54%) Calico |
3/1(+54%) | (4) Calico 3/1, Largely held form well in defeat last season, including a second to Triple Trade over C&D. Pulled up at Kempton when last seen in May but he has a decent record fresh and is back on a good mark. Ran big race in defeat over C&D last autumn and makes seasonal debut from good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/2 +0%) Matata |
5/2(+0%) | (2) Matata 5/2, Headstrong sort but it didn't prevent him making up into a smart novice chaser last term. Ended his season on a low note at Aintree but capable of bouncing back with a bang after a break. Free-going front-runner; smart novice chaser last season; could take some catching here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 -25%) Dancing On My Own |
5/1(-25%) | (1) Dancing On My Own 5/1, Smart chaser who saw off Triple Trade in this race 12 months ago. Made hard work of landing short odds on soft ground at Ballinrobe in August but the likely sounder surface here should be more to his liking and he's only 2 lb higher than last year. Won this in 2023 but has not been in the same form since; needs to up his game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (14/1 +13%) Coastguard Station |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Coastguard Station 14/1, Produced a career-best effort to resume winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap chase in June. Sharper for a recent outing over hurdles at Hexham but he'll need another career best to come out on top here. Career-best form when winning at Uttoxeter this summer but even more is needed today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (15/2 +38%) Scarface |
15/2(+38%) | (7) Scarface 15/2, Thrived over fences when cheekpieces went on, winning 3 times around 2½m between January and April. Good third of 12 over 20.5f here on final start. Shorter trip the slight worry on return. Did very well in cheekpieces in early part of year; player if coping with drop back to 2m. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (13/2 +7%) Triple Trade |
13/2(+7%) | (6) Triple Trade 13/2, Second to Dancing On My Own in this race last year before seeing off Calico over C&D at the Open meeting. Ended last season with a respectable fifth of 15 in the Red Rum at Aintree. Has to enter the reckoning under Cobden. Below form at end of last season but big player if judged on late-2023 form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (12/1 -71%) Arclight |
12/1(-71%) | (5) Arclight 12/1, Won first 3 chases at the end of 2023. Never going after an early mistake in a Kempton Grade 2 in February and not seen since. No surprise were she to resume her progression now handicapping back from 8 months off. Took very well to chasing as a 4yo last autumn (three wins); further progress possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (66/1 -65%) Sir Tivo |
66/1(-65%) | (9) Sir Tivo 66/1, Veteran who has been a bit hit and miss so far this season and is likely to find this too competitive. Ran well at Stratford two starts ago but has been inconsistent this year; others stronger. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
MATATA may have been found out in Grade 1 company towards the back end of last season, but he remains a talented sort to keep on side as he makes his first foray outside of novice company. The six-year-old has an unblemished record when fresh and may be able to strike at the main expense of last year's winner Dancing On My Own, who arrives in top form following a comfortable success at Ballinrobe in August. Calico has gone well here before more than once, while Arclight remains an interesting prospect in this sphere.
CALICO has dipped to 1 lb lower than when second over C&D on last year's reappearance and might prove the answer to this useful handicap. Last year's winner Dancing On My Own should give it another good shot, while Matata looks feasibly treated on the pick of last season's novice form.
Dan Skelton's CALICO signed off with a poor run in May but resumes on a good mark and with conditions in his favour.

Cleopatra's Needle |
(6) (9/1 0%)9/1(0%) | (6) Cleopatra's Needle 9/1, Promising sort. Fair winner at 10f on Flat. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle (16/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 13 days ago, going clear. Open to further progress so she's a major player. Up 7lb for Fairyhouse win but clearly a contender if she can come close to reproducing it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (11) (11/2 -83%) Bowgate Street |
11/2(-83%) | (11) Bowgate Street 11/2, Maiden but just about best effort to date when second of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Looks competitive on form from 3 lb higher. Up 3lb for Galway but comes here in much improved form and one of the likelier winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/1 -38%) Queenofthelodge |
9/1(-38%) | (8) Queenofthelodge 9/1, 20/1, second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Capable of building on that if brushing up her jumping. Gowran runner-up could be on the upgrade and certainly respected back in mares company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +36%) Bayou Belle |
7/2(+36%) | (3) Bayou Belle 7/2, 11/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Roscommon (12.2f, soft) 11 days ago, hampered. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Cheekpieces on 1st time over jumps and his mark is a fair one. 32-race maiden; climbing the handicap without winning but likely to get in the frame. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (6/1 -9%) Fair Damsel |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Fair Damsel 6/1, Won 8-runner novice hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft, 9/2) 19 days ago, held by winner with that rival fell. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Very fortunate winner at Killarney but there might be more improvement in her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (9/1 +55%) Whatyouwant |
9/1(+55%) | (9) Whatyouwant 9/1, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in May. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good, 22/1) 58 days ago, tailed off when pulled up 5 out. Tongue tie removed. Won at Ballinrobe in May but has shown little since under her penalty; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (6/1 +33%) Chatterbox |
6/1(+33%) | (4) Chatterbox 6/1, 9/1, below form tenth of 18 in handicap at Galway (12f, good to soft) 85 days ago, left poorly placed. Switches from Flat to hurdles, runner-up last 2 outings in this code. Best hurdles run came last time at Killarney in July; rider booking catches the eye again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (12/1 +76%) Dancing After Dark |
12/1(+76%) | (10) Dancing After Dark 12/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24.1f, soft, 33/1) 25 days ago, weakening quickly. Down in trip, which should help and she's now fitted with a tongue tie. Well beaten in Roscommon handicap hurdle last month after an absence; makes little appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (8/1 +60%) Ask Cillian |
8/1(+60%) | (2) Ask Cillian 8/1, Winner in hurdle at Killarney in August. 18/1, below form seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Soundly beaten last twice and may well require a little more leeway from the assessor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) (40/1 -100%) Volez Vous |
40/1(-100%) | (15) Volez Vous 40/1, 66/1, sixteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 172 days ago. Well beaten in maiden hurdles and handicap debut at Down Royal in May; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (28/1 -12%) Hanara Rovan |
28/1(-12%) | (13) Hanara Rovan 28/1, Eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 51 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and has a bigger performance in her. Modest maiden form and little to suggest so far that she could be competitive in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (17/2 +29%) Dreamz |
17/2(+29%) | (5) Dreamz 17/2, Unseated rider very early in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 28 days ago having pulled hard. Close second in a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle in May her best recent effort; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (40/1 -100%) Good Time Belle |
40/1(-100%) | (12) Good Time Belle 40/1, Eighteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Naas (18.8f, soft), going in snatches. Off 6 months. Well beaten on her handicap debut; makes little appeal after nearly 11 months off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BOWGATE STREET ran a big race at Galway on her last start and can strike now in against her own sex. The Champs Elysees mare was pipped close home by Ragmans Corner in Ballybrit 17 days ago and is capable of winning a race at this level, despite a 3lb rise. She has form on softer ground, which could prove crucial. Cleopatra's Needle won nicely when making her first start in handicap company over hurdles at Fairyhouse, but her preference for good ground would be a concern with rain forecast. Fair Damsel was a fortunate winner at Killarney last time, but sneaks in here off a mark of 102 and has to be considered as well.
Having finally opening his account on the level in May, CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE was a ready winner on handicap debut over hurdles a fortnight ago. With the promise of more to come, she gets the vote at the chief expense of Bayou Belle and Bowgate Street.
Marginal preference is for Galway runner-up BOWGATE STREET who is versatile as to trip and ground and can get a change of luck

1st (7) (4/1 +50%) Harper's Ferry |
4/1(+50%) | (7) Harper's Ferry 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Windsor in April. 4/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (10.2f, good) 43 days ago. In the mix back down in trip. Headstrong 3yo who could benefit from today's drop back to 1m; retains potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/1 -25%) Midnight Gun |
10/1(-25%) | (2) Midnight Gun 10/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in June. 2/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to soft) 61 days ago so needs to bounce back. Lightly raced 3yo; unplaced favourite at Goodwood latest but not beaten far; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (7/2 +36%) Whiskey Pete |
7/2(+36%) | (11) Whiskey Pete 7/2, Good second of 9 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, soft, evens) 26 days ago. Down in trip. Can go well again. 2nd over 1m2f the last twice, shaping as though he may benefit from this drop back to 1m. |

4th (12) (5/1 +80%) Apiarist |
5/1(+80%) | (12) Apiarist 5/1, 8/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Others appeal more. Slightly below par at Ayr last time but didn't settle and had been running well previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (12/1 +25%) Barley |
12/1(+25%) | (13) Barley 12/1, C&D winner. 33/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap at York (7.9f, soft) 14 days ago, having to pick way through. Ought to be in the shake-up. Denied clear passage when close third at York last time; highly effective here in the past. |

6th (6) (18/1 -50%) Bennetot |
18/1(-50%) | (6) Bennetot 18/1, Winner at Windsor in August. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (7/1) at York (10.2f, soft) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. York last time may have been just a blip; running really well previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (22/1 -120%) Flying Finn |
22/1(-120%) | (3) Flying Finn 22/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Haydock in September. 18/1, 10½ lengths ninth of 13 to Sunfall in listed race at Ascot (7f, good) 20 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Inconsistent and well beaten last time (Listed), but has won three handicaps this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (15/2 -7%) Ebt's Guard |
15/2(-7%) | (10) Ebt's Guard 15/2, Career best when winning 11-runner minor event at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 16/5) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Must enter calculations. 3yo who is enjoying a solid campaign & there could still be mileage in his mark; shortlist. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (50/1 +0%) Rajapour |
50/1(+0%) | (9) Rajapour 50/1, Off 4 months/first run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when sixth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) on UK debut 25 days ago, slowly away. Can take a step forward now. Soundly beaten on stable debut but trainer excels with ex-French recruits; not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (22/1 +33%) Bajan Bandit |
22/1(+33%) | (14) Bajan Bandit 22/1, 14/1, creditable third of 18 in handicap at York (7f, soft) 14 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. One to consider. Encouraging performances the last twice and he might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (7/1 +36%) Theoryofeverything |
7/1(+36%) | (4) Theoryofeverything 7/1, Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable eighth of 16 in handicap (6/1) at York (7.9f, soft) 14 days ago, faring best of those held up. Merits consideration. Eighth at York latest but may not be suited by that track; two soft-ground wins this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (11/1 +8%) Mr King |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Mr King 11/1, Latest win at Naas in June. 33/1, encouraging thirteenth of 31 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to soft) 27 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Weighted to go well. Promising performances the last twice (Cambridgeshire latest) and he's one to consider. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The unexposed HARPER'S FERRY did not appear to get home over 1m2f here last month and, based on his previous efforts, he can be given another chance back down in trip. Whiskey Pete has been knocking on the door of late and is another who may improve for a drop in distance. Sierra Blanca edges out Theoryofeverything and Ebt's Guard to be best of the rest.
This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with MR KING to build on earlier promise and gain a first success for Iain Jardine off a handy-looking mark. Theoryofeverything appeals as the pick of the David O'Meara-trained trio and heads the list of dangers, although the likes of Sierra Blanca, Ebt's Guard, Whisky Pete and Barley can all have a say too.
The consistent BARLEY didn't enjoy a clear passage when third in a big field at York recently and he's run very well here in the past.

1st (7) (10/3 +17%) Mercian Warrior |
10/3(+17%) | (7) Mercian Warrior 10/3, Eased in weights a little and confirmed promise of his Bath second when going one place better at Ascot (7f) 3 weeks ago, looking firmly at home back on a softer surface. Well worth considering up 5 lb. Clearcut win at Ascot three weeks ago, seeming well suited by the switch to slower ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (17/2 -183%) Kodi Lion |
17/2(-183%) | (6) Kodi Lion 17/2, Improving sort who scored at Ascot in July and hard to knock his consistency in defeat since, step up to 1m on testing ground possibly catching him out when fourth here 5 weeks ago. Remains one to be interested in back at 7f. Consistent this season; ran creditably on heavy ground here most recently; solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +20%) Pearle D'or |
4/1(+20%) | (4) Pearle D'or 4/1, Goes well with give underfoot, his latest success coming over C&D 13 months ago. Comes here following a creditable fourth at Leicester and whilst his finishing effort has come under question at times, he's undoubtedly capable of exploiting this mark if putting it all together again. C&D winner (off 3lb lower) on heavy ground last autumn and enters calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (17/2 -6%) Executive Decision |
17/2(-6%) | (3) Executive Decision 17/2, Dual 6f winner last summer. Yet to get her head infront this time around but she continued run of good form when third of 10 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy, 11/1) 10 days ago, no extra last ½f. This trip could just be on the limit of her stamina. Currently in a consistent vein of form; again has frame possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (13/2 -86%) United Approach |
13/2(-86%) | (2) United Approach 13/2, Dual 6f winner of soft/heavy earlier in his career and posted best effort yet when second in conditions' event at Ascot (7f) in September. Well held equipped with cheekpieces (discarded here) in handicap back at that venue 20 days ago and he appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Well held in valuable handicap last time; has steadily progressive form otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (33/1 -450%) Cill Mocheallog |
33/1(-450%) | (5) Cill Mocheallog 33/1, Improved on debut for when taking 16-runner Gowran maiden (7f, heavy) in May. Similar form when third in Cork minor event (1m) in July (final start for P. Twomey) but switch to handicaps/return to heavy ground likely in his favour on debut for new yard. Registered his Irish win over 7f on heavy; interesting on debut for new stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (80/1 -264%) Mcmanaman |
80/1(-264%) | (1) Mcmanaman 80/1, Ended a losing run in 16-runner handicap at Meydan (7f) in February. May of needed first start for 6 months when last of 10 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, good to firm) on debut for new yard in August and this step up in trip looks in his favour. Failed to beat a rival at Chester eight weeks ago on debut for new yard. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MERCIAN WARRIOR gained a first career success at Ascot earlier in the month and a 5lb rise might not be enough to stop the son of Saxon Warrior from making it back-to-back victories. Cill Mocheallog has to be of interest on his first start for Dean Ivory having achieved a fair level of form in Ireland for Paddy Twomey, while a return to 7f may benefit Kodi Lion.
KODI LION shaped as if still in good form before the combination of testing ground/step up to 1m possibly caught him out when fourth here 5 weeks ago. Remaining of interest back down at 7f, he earns the vote ahead of Ascot-scorer Mercian Warrior. United Approach is another fancied to have a part to play.
Ascot winner MERCIAN WARRIOR is open to further progress on slow ground and could well follow up. Pearle d'Or is second pick.

3/1(+50%) | (3) Valgrand 3/1, Very useful form shown in bumpers and he scored readily over hurdles in 2m Uttoxeter maiden and 2m4f Bangor novice in May. Holds solid claims with more to come after a break. 2-2 hurdling; no question that this commands a career best but going the right way. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 +10%) Dancing In Paris |
18/1(+10%) | (5) Dancing In Paris 18/1, Is enjoying a very good season on the Flat, bagging his third victory at Southwell in August. This is no easy introduction but he's still much respected now starting out over hurdles. Useful Flat performer and has had a good year; if jumping okay he could have some say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (11/2 +0%) Brave Knight |
11/2(+0%) | (4) Brave Knight 11/2, A fairly useful 2m winner on Flat for Sir Mark Prescott and he went 3-3 over hurdles for his new stable this summer in 2m Newton Abbot novice in August. Capable of better yet so he must enter calculations. Stayer on the Flat; 3-3 over hurdles and his latest piece of form has been well franked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (16/1 -14%) Imaginarium |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Imaginarium 16/1, Useful Irish 9f winner on Flat for Ger Lyons and made a winning start over hurdles on his sole start for Lucinda Russell in 2m Perth maiden in May. Starts out for another good yard now and he's much respected. Flat winner; made heavy weather of winning a very average hurdle at Perth. |

33/1(-32%) | (2) Strong Foundations 33/1, A fair bumper performer who made a winning start in this sphere in 11-runner novice hurdle at Warwick (16f, good) 22 days ago. Open to improvement but will need to in this company. Prevailed narrowly at Warwick and has considerably more on his plate in today's company. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
GALE MAHLER registered a sixth win on the bounce when stepped up to Listed company at the Galway Festival and the five-year-old has been found an excellent opportunity to continue her splendid run of form. Valgrand finished fourth in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree before a pair of hurdling victories in May. He may prove to be the most obvious threat on his return from a break, although useful Flat performer Brave Knight has taken well to hurdling and is one to keep on the right side of.
A fascinating Grade 2 event. GALE MAHLER has carried all before her thus far and is impossible to side against in her bid to go 5-5 over hurdles on the back of an impressive Galway listed victory. Both Valgrand (second choice) and Brave Knight are with top yards and also unbeaten in this sphere so should ensure Adrian Keatley's likeable mare doesn't have things all her own way.
Gale Mahler has been making the game look easy but BRAVE KNIGHT can make it interesting with his recent form well franked.

1st (8) (10/3 -48%) Newtown Rambler |
10/3(-48%) | (8) Newtown Rambler 10/3, Promising individual. 3/1 and hooded tongue strap on, second of 10 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 35 days ago. Open to progress and should make his presence felt. Improvement likely and the step up in trip is probably a plus; definite contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/2 +68%) Will Wilde |
7/2(+68%) | (1) Will Wilde 7/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Below form eighth of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (22f, good, 9/2) 33 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Claims if back to his debut form but has a bit to prove. Previous course form in his favour and should be capable of a bold show in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 -17%) Caman Eileen |
7/2(-17%) | (2) Caman Eileen 7/2, Fairly useful bumper winner. 9/2, bit below form seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) 42 days ago. Has the best form but needs to put a couple of lesser efforts behind her. Roscommon runner-up; disappointing twice since though and has a question to answer here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (22/1 +0%) Final Flutter |
22/1(+0%) | (10) Final Flutter 22/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 15 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Kilbeggan (19.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 105 days ago. Good Kilbeggan run; likely to do better in handicaps later on but not a forlorn hope here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (10/1 +80%) Drumcliff Bay |
10/1(+80%) | (6) Drumcliff Bay 10/1, Once-raced maiden. 17/2, fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.3f, good) on NH debut. Off 16 months. Hard to make a strong case for. Ran okay at Downpatrick on rules debut last summer but off 495 days and others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (22/1 -214%) Boston Rover |
22/1(-214%) | (4) Boston Rover 22/1, Once-raced maiden. 15/2, fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, good) on NH debut 20 days ago. No surprise if he improved significantly for debut and played some sort of hand here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (66/1 -100%) Mighty Soldier |
66/1(-100%) | (7) Mighty Soldier 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good, 80/1) on NH debut 139 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Showed a glimmer of ability on rules debut in Punchestowen maiden but lacks experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (150/1 -200%) Heading South |
150/1(-200%) | (11) Heading South 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft, 100/1) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. No show in a Galway bumper or a Roscommon maiden hurdle since returning from an absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (2/1 -33%) Artic Lane |
2/1(-33%) | (3) Artic Lane 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable second of 6 in bumper (11/10) at Clonmel (16.8f, good) 22 days ago. Worthy of interest on hurdling debut. Good run at Clonmel last time and likely to be a major factor here on his hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (50/1 +50%) Carricktriss |
50/1(+50%) | (5) Carricktriss 50/1, €19,000 3-y-o, Arctic Cosmos gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Wontbelongnow, stayed 3m, and to 2 winning pointers. Dam unraced. Pulled up only start in points (Nov 2023). Wears tongue strap. Pulled up in a point at Dromahane almost a year ago for Michael Butler; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (125/1 -89%) Tara Boe |
125/1(-89%) | (12) Tara Boe 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 13 in bumper at this course (18.4f, soft) 78 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Hooded for 1st time. Beaten a mile in a mares bumper here in August; tried in a hood this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (250/1 -150%) Ardskeagh Nia |
250/1(-150%) | (9) Ardskeagh Nia 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft, 100/1) on NH debut 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Beaten a mile on debut at Roscommon and makes no appeal here on that evidence. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ARTIC LANE has been beaten favourite in three bumpers recently, but may make the breakthrough now that he tackles hurdles. The Declan Queally-trained gelding has jumps experience, having won a point-to-point, and ran a big race in a Leopardstown bumper on his track debut last December. He hasn't quite shown that level since returning, but ran well on rain-softened ground at Listowel and slower ground may help his chances now. The Willie Mullins-trained Caman Eileen commands obvious respect, but needs to improve a bit on her showing at Ballinrobe. Newtown Rambler ran a promising race when second on his track debut at Downpatrick and is another for the shortlist.
NEWTOWN RAMBLER showed plenty in points and made a solid start to his hurdling career when runner-up at Downpatrick last month, so he's fancied to progress past Caman Eileen, who has been underwhelming since her initial effort over hurdles but is an obvious threat if back to form. Will Wilde can't be dismissed.
It may be worth giving another chance to WILL WILDE who looked destined for good things when winning the bumper on this card last year

1st (2) (4/1 +38%) Zoum Zoum |
4/1(+38%) | (2) Zoum Zoum 4/1, Creditable 2 lengths third of 7 to Atlantic Coast in listed race at Saint-Cloud (7f, soft, 24/10) 21 days ago. Much respected on his handicap debut. 3yo who has run well in some Group 3 and Listed races; could be on a handy mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/2 +73%) The X O |
11/2(+73%) | (6) The X O 11/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 10/1) 36 days ago, slowly away. Others appeal more. Down the field the last twice but perhaps the return to slow ground will trigger a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (18/1 +28%) Jehangeer |
18/1(+28%) | (4) Jehangeer 18/1, Latest win at Thirsk in July. 28/1, twenty third of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive. No impact on fast ground on last three starts but the return to a slow surface could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (11/1 -57%) Wodao |
11/1(-57%) | (5) Wodao 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Very good second of 6 in handicap (4/1) at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Not taken lightly. Went very close at Goodwood recently and every chance he'll again be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (4/1 -167%) Altmore |
4/1(-167%) | (8) Altmore 4/1, Improving Showcasing gelding who arrives on a hat-trick after stylish wins over 6f in maiden at Chepstow and handicap at Pontefract this autumn. Hike up 11 lb but still looks the one to beat. Hit with 11lb rise for Pontefract handicap debut win but he had bundles in hand. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (11/1 +56%) Eminny |
11/1(+56%) | (9) Eminny 11/1, Latest win at Hamilton in September. Fair fifth of 6 to Grey's Monument in listed race at Redcar (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 20 days ago. One to consider. Easily made all at Hamilton on her last handicap start; no surprise to see a bold bid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (3/1 +60%) Aleezdancer |
3/1(+60%) | (3) Aleezdancer 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win at York in May. Below form thirteenth of 21 in handicap (14/1) at York (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on and sort to get back on track with underfoot conditions to suit. A return to form is needed but he's on a competitive mark and likes it here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (16/1 -14%) Commanche Falls |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Commanche Falls 16/1, Winless in 2024 but he's largely been running with credit, fifth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (6f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Can give a good account. Hasn't been at the top of his game this term but fair runs of late; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -33%) Magical Spirit |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Magical Spirit 16/1, 3-time C&D winner, including in this event back in 2021. Only ninth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 33/1) 27 days ago but no forlorn hope back here. Down the field on last three starts but Doncaster record means he's dangerous to dismiss. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
On target in a Chepstow maiden before making a successful handicap debut at Pontefract last time, Altmore will undoubtedly be popular despite a subsequent 11lb rise, given his unexposed profile. Zoum Zoum has been campaigned at Pattern level since winning a novice at Newmarket in November of last year and he's of interest now pitched into handicaps, but a chance can be taken on MAGICAL SPIRIT. Kevin Ryan's charge might have an inconsistent profile, but he loves it around here, with his three C&D victories all coming on similar ground (including this race in 2021). He's just 1lb above his last winning mark, and a return to this venue may well spark a revival. Wodao is also noted.
Some useful sprinters line up here but William Haggas' unexposed ALTIMORE remains ahead of his mark despite taking an 11 lb hike for his facile Pontefract success so can complete a hat-trick. Wodao is feared most on the back of his very good recent Goodwood second, with top-weight Commanche Falls and former-winner Magical Spirit also in the mix.
The very lightly raced ALTMORE (nap) coasted to victory on his handicap debut at Pontefract and can take an 11lb rise in his stride.

1st (3) (9/2 +31%) Knebworth |
9/2(+31%) | (3) Knebworth 9/2, Scored at Doncaster in March and has remained in good heart since, third of 9 in a higher grade of handicap than he normally contests on penultimate start before racing slightly too close to a strong pacer at Haydock a month ago. Just 1 lb above last winning mark. Has form figures of 145235 since wearing cheekpieces; shouldn't be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (25/1 0%) Capote's Dream |
25/1(0%) | (8) Capote's Dream 25/1, On a lengthy losing run and was well placed when mid-field at Kempton a fortnight ago. Visor back on but looks opposable from just out of the weights back up in class. Modest strike-rate in last three years but went close over C&D four starts ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/5 +36%) Land Of Magic |
16/5(+36%) | (7) Land Of Magic 16/5, Bagged a third career success at Salisbury last month and nothing wrong with a brace of runner-up efforts since, going with plenty of zest before being worn down close home back at that venue 3 weeks ago. Major player up 2 lb. Career-best form since dropped back to 6f; runner-up on heavy the last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (13/2 -8%) Thunder Blue |
13/2(-8%) | (2) Thunder Blue 13/2, Confirmed positive start for this yard when landing 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton in August. Continued in good order since at up to 7f and no reason why he won't go well again. Last three attempts at 6f comprise an AW win and two placed efforts; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (4/1 -78%) Aramram |
4/1(-78%) | (1) Aramram 4/1, No match for the thriving Alfa Kellenic in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f) but he beat the other 20 runners that day and was just about better than ever when making a successful AW debut at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago. 2 lb rise perfectly fair so a must for the shortlist. In-form 3yo whose solid second in the Ayr Silver Cup is flanked by turf/AW wins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (10/1 +50%) Way To Dubai |
10/1(+50%) | (4) Way To Dubai 10/1, Yet to taste success for this yard and form has a patchy look to it. following a sound fifth-place finish at Chester with a heavy defeat in the mud at Haydock a month ago. Cheekpieces back on. Ex-German; 0-12 and inconsistent in Britain; not sure to give his running. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
THUNDER BLUE has shown a good level of form over this distance this season and his latest fifth over 7f at Doncaster can be upgraded because he raced keenly towards the rear off a steady pace. Stepping back to 6f off an unchanged mark, this might be the day to catch him. Aramram showed a likeable attitude when scoring gamely at Wolverhampton and he must enter calculations off a 2lb higher figure. Land Of Magic is respected most out of the remainder.
Backing SERGEANT PEP comes with slight risks attached given his issues at the stalls but he's talented on his day and a 3 lb rise for his career-best win at Leicester recently looks lenient. Land of Magic will be ridden totally differently and could be a tough nut to crack if allowed her own way, with Aramram completing the shortlist.
In-form 3yos LAND OF MAGIC, Aramram and Thunder Blue bring the strongest appeal, in that order of preference.

1st (7) (10/1 +17%) The Newest One |
10/1(+17%) | (7) The Newest One 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler who easily got off the mark at Chepstow in December. Ran creditably at Newbury 7 months ago. Hasn't been seen for a while in this sphere but he's on a feasible mark. Was well held in this two years ago but there's nothing wrong with his mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (16) (33/1 -65%) Jimmy The Digger |
33/1(-65%) | (16) Jimmy The Digger 33/1, Looked out of sorts towards the end of last season and didn't offer a great deal of encouragement at Warwick a month ago. Others preferred. Previous winner of this but struggles continued on his Warwick reappearance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (19) (33/1 +67%) Jessie Lightfoot |
33/1(+67%) | (19) Jessie Lightfoot 33/1, Revitalised by a return to Henry Oliver, scoring over fences at Taunton and Southwell before a solid fifth (from 2 lb out of weights) at Worcester. Shaped as if still in form there last time and can't be ruled out. A winner over 3m2f so she stays and until last time had been running well this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (28/1 -100%) Landen Calling |
28/1(-100%) | (4) Landen Calling 28/1, Latest win in chase at Market Rasen in December. Has edged back to a handy mark but may need this return. Respectable effort at Punchestown in May and this is his type of race; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (11/1 -10%) Strictlyadancer |
11/1(-10%) | (11) Strictlyadancer 11/1, Won 3 on the bounce over fences during 2021/22. Missed the following season and record since has been patchy. Travelled well when fourth at Chepstow last time and looks a big player if he can build on it. Previous winner of this and ran a positive race at Chepstow two weeks back when beaten 12l. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (5/1 +29%) Ceanndana |
5/1(+29%) | (9) Ceanndana 5/1, Highly progressive this season and gained his third win from his last 4 starts (including over hurdles) with another likeable display over fences at Sligo last time. Another bold showing is on the cards. Consistent 7yo and, other than this rise in class, has a lot in his favour. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (16/1 +36%) Hold Your Fort |
16/1(+36%) | (12) Hold Your Fort 16/1, Really turned a corner since upped in trip over fences, posting his best effort yet when completing a Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) 4-timer just under in September. Only found one too good at Wincanton 8 days ago and could go well again. Had a great summer but now looks vulnerable to better-treated opposition. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (17) (11/1 +56%) Planned Paradise |
11/1(+56%) | (17) Planned Paradise 11/1, Scored at Perth in the summer and back on track when runner-up at Warwick a month ago. Jumping may let him down. This is deeper than the Warwick 3m1f handicap in which he found one too good a month ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (16/1 +52%) Wick Green |
16/1(+52%) | (14) Wick Green 16/1, Sliding in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when third of 5 at Fontwell three weeks ago. Visored for the first time, so not a forlorn hope. Mostly unconvincing since two good runs here early last season, including in this race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (10/1 -25%) Mole Court |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Mole Court 10/1, Much improved since sent chasing, making it 5 wins in this sphere at Huntingdon in April. Not disgraced at Market Rasen 3 months ago and returns with stable going well. Won this last year but will do well to repeat the trick off a 10lb higher mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (22/1 -22%) St Denis's Well |
22/1(-22%) | (8) St Denis's Well 22/1, 11/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, good) 18 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Worth considering. Irish raider who is only a 6yo and 3-6 over fences; excellent jockey booking. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (18/1 -29%) The Boola Boss |
18/1(-29%) | (15) The Boola Boss 18/1, Showed improved form to notch a third victory over fences at Stratford in May, albeit it was a thin race. Looked undone by a rise at same course next time, so others are likely to prove better treated. All wins on good ground so his recent third on soft at Stratford was passable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (5/1 +17%) Are U Wise To That |
5/1(+17%) | (2) Are U Wise To That 5/1, Made winning return/chase debut at Warwick last season and added to that with victory here (25.3f) in December. Didn't fire subsequently but could have been tuned up for a big run. Course winner; can improve some more and the booking of Derek O'Connor bodes well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (50/1 -79%) Back On The Lash |
50/1(-79%) | (1) Back On The Lash 50/1, Dual Cross-Country winner here but didn't have much spark about him last season. Pulled up at Huntingdon 5 months ago and has an uphill task on return. Quiet last season and remains risky business despite his reduced mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (22/1 +12%) No But I Will |
22/1(+12%) | (13) No But I Will 22/1, Point/hurdles winner who left reappearance effort well behind when making successful chase debut at Wetherby (24.2f) last November. However, rather gone backwards since and has now left Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero (off 8 months). Signed off for former yard on a downer and has more to prove than many in here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (18) (7/1 +50%) Individualiste |
7/1(+50%) | (18) Individualiste 7/1, Recorded a facile success eased in class/equipped with cheekpieces over hurdles at Taunton (19f) in December. However, that proved a weak race and he's been unable to match it, including over fences. Has left Paul Nicholls (and off 7 months) prior to this. Lost his way for Paul Nicholls but on winning hurdle mark and new stable much respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (7/1 +7%) Atlanta Brave |
7/1(+7%) | (6) Atlanta Brave 7/1, rish point winner who was 2-4 over hurdles last season and all the better for return/chase bow when second at Exeter last November. Ended the season out of sorts but could go well fresh. 0-4 over fences but twice runner-up in good handicaps; still lightly raced, he's respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (125/1 -213%) Amateur |
125/1(-213%) | (3) Amateur 125/1, Unreliable type who is firmly into the veteran stage of his career and was pulled up at Chepstow a fortnight ago. Hard to fancy in this competitive environment on the back of that. Pulled up in four of his last five starts and best days come at Ffos Las. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Jacks Parrot is likely to prove popular after victories at Uttoxeter and Perth in the spring, when building on his UK debut effort. The five-year-old is expected to have more to offer, despite being 8lb higher, but the vote goes to CEANNDANA. The Irish challenger showcased his versatility when dropping back in trip to win at Sligo earlier in the month and appears capable of further progression. Last year's winner Mole Court, Are U Wise To That and Hold Your Fort can fight it out for the minor honours.
CEANNDANA arrives on a steep upward curve and probably has even more to offer, so he takes marginal preference ove Jacks Parrot, who is also on the up but doesn't have the benefit of a recent run. Are U Wise To That is better than a mark of 127 on his day and merits respect coming back fresh.
The 2021 winner STRICTLYADANCER has a chance of ending his drought after an encouraging return from a break at Chepstow recently.

1st (5) (18/1 +45%) The Miracle Man |
18/1(+45%) | (5) The Miracle Man 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, good) 139 days ago, behind when pulled up after third. Rejoined yard after leaving Peter Fahey with work to do. Off since pulled up on second handicap start at Punchestown in June; best watched. |

2nd (6) (9/2 -29%) True Destiny |
9/2(-29%) | (6) True Destiny 9/2, C&D winner. Very good second of 18 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 6 days ago, clear of rest. Hold leading claims. 1lb higher here but is on a winnable mark once again and could take some stopping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (6/1 +40%) Moulane West |
6/1(+40%) | (10) Moulane West 6/1, One win from 30 NH runs. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Merits consideration. Unlikely to be too far away; looks the first string of the stable quartet. |

4th (2) (16/1 -78%) Vintage Gold |

5th (16) (12/1 +14%) Danesfort Mayfly |
12/1(+14%) | (16) Danesfort Mayfly 12/1, 9/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, soft) 19 days ago, finding little. Possibilities. Two reasonable efforts over further at Galway and Killarney; each-way chance back in trip. |

6th (11) (25/1 -108%) Any Day Now |

7th (7) (3/1 +85%) Bossofthebus |
3/1(+85%) | (7) Bossofthebus 3/1, 22/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving P. Tobin. Uphill task. Showed some ability in a bumper here last year but very little since; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (11/1 -47%) Malbas |
11/1(-47%) | (1) Malbas 11/1, 10/1, respectable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Remains a maiden after 19 runs. Some decent placed efforts to his name including a solid third at Roscommon; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (10/1 +9%) Kilmacurkin |
10/1(+9%) | (14) Kilmacurkin 10/1, Very good second of 15 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.7f, good, 5/1) 155 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving James Fahey and one to consider. Not seen since Limerick in May but not one to dismiss on his debut for Aidan Howard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (40/1 -100%) Manhattan Brook |
40/1(-100%) | (13) Manhattan Brook 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good, 125/1) 91 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Soundly beaten in a quartet of maiden hurdles and makes no appeal here on her handicap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (16/1 -60%) Dontdooddson |
16/1(-60%) | (8) Dontdooddson 16/1, 14/1, eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Others more persuasive. Off since a moderate effort in a Tramore handicap chase in April and probably best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (3) (16/1 +20%) Lummi Island |
16/1(+20%) | (3) Lummi Island 16/1, Below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, good) 139 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Showed ability in bumpers but yet to run to the same level over flights; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (66/1 -100%) Annalough |
66/1(-100%) | (15) Annalough 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft, 80/1) 56 days ago. Up in trip. Very hard to fancy after a heavy defeat on her handicap debut at Wexford in August. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (25/1 0%) I'm For Home |
25/1(0%) | (12) I'm For Home 25/1, 8/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (20f, heavy). Off 9 months. Hood back on and handily weighted if fully tuned up. Standout run was Limerick second at Christmas but poor effort in January and off since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (15/2 -25%) Wing Back |
15/2(-25%) | (4) Wing Back 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, respectable ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good) 22 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Should progress. Tried in a hood here and interesting to see what the market makes of him this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (9) (22/1 -22%) Hungry Rock |
22/1(-22%) | (9) Hungry Rock 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code, fourteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 200/1) 21 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve. Could well be more at home in handicaps and worth a market watch for his local stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Dual C&D winner TRUE DESTINY may be able to bag another victory at the track. Noel Kelly's charge ran better at Limerick last time when chasing home Crowsatedappletart and is only 1lb higher. He was an easy winner of this race a couple of years ago on soft ground. Moulane West has been knocking on the door and steps back up in trip now. He could be a danger. Kilmacurkin ran really well when last seen, over fences, at Limerick in May. He could be competitive off this mark, but softer ground would be a bit of a concern.
C&D scorer TRUE DESTINY signalled he is ready to strike again when a very good recent second in a big field at Limerick so looks the way to go here. Moulane West is weighted to have a big say so heads the list of dangers, with Kilmacurkin, Hungry Rock and Wing Back all worthy of consideration too.
Most appeal is made by dual C&D winner TRUE DESTINY, back to form when second at Limerick on Saturday and down to an attractive mark

Seventh of 14 in novice (14/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 16 days ago. Likely to improve. Improvement needed on second run but attractively bred and not ruled out for in-form yard. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A contest which has been won by some useful types in the past, this year's renewal could go to the Charlie Appleby-trained MUSIC OF TIME. The Dubawi colt showed considerable promise amidst greenness at Kempton on his debut recently and that experience could prove vital, so it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement to score here. Kaleido, a full brother to stable star Mishriff, makes significant appeal for the Gosdens, though Kieran Shoemark opts to ride stablemate Kuredu King. 260,000gns purchase Fan Club is another who warrants closer inspection ahead of his racecourse bow.
This can go to a newcomer, with KALEIDO, a full brother to the owner's star performer Mishriff, selected before market clues. 300,000 gns buy Kuredu King is another interesting one for the yard. Godolphin's Music of Time can build on his Kempton third, while Fan Club is respected starting out for William Haggas.
Preference is for the Gosden-trained newcomer KALEIDO, who is a brother to connections' top-class performer Mishriff.

1st (6) (4/1 +56%) Telepathic |
4/1(+56%) | (6) Telepathic 4/1, Well-related sort who has looked a work-in-progress in trio of maiden/novice events to date, still green when seventh of 13 on qualifying run in novice at Kempton (7f) 35 days ago. In very good hands and rates a likely improver now handicapping but draw could have been kinder. Modest so far but this well-bred colt should find this company easier on nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/1 -56%) Khutulun |
7/1(-56%) | (9) Khutulun 7/1, Mohaather filly. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner nursery at Chelmsford (7f) 27 days ago, closed down late but always holding on. Further progress rates distinctly possible now she's up and running. Back from a break in new cheekpieces when just holding on from the front at Chelmsford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (25/1 -25%) Thiscouldbefun |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Thiscouldbefun 25/1, Stepped forward on previous exploits when third on nursery debut at Newbury (7f) in August. However, not in anything like the same form when sixth of 9 in nursery at Lingfield (8f, AW) 44 days ago. Was coming along okay until last time when tried at 1m; placed off this mark at Newbury. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (10/1 -11%) Manton Road |
10/1(-11%) | (12) Manton Road 10/1, Encouragingly looked more straightforward with eyeshields fitted when second of 11 in nursery (40/1) at Kempton (6f) 11 days ago, coming from much further back than the pair he split. Task is to build on that effort back at 7f. The eyeshield made a difference when beating all bar the favourite in a 6f Kempton nursery. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (12/1 -20%) Lilly's Bet |
12/1(-20%) | (4) Lilly's Bet 12/1, Fair filly who ran up to best when fourth in a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) last month. Struggled in big field sales race at Newbury since but return to nurseries/all-weather both likely positives and she's an each-way player. Had shown consistent level of form in defeat over 6f/7f before outclassed in a sales race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (4/1 +20%) Antelope |
4/1(+20%) | (2) Antelope 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden who showed much improved form when second of 9 in nursery (13/2) at this course (8.6f) 20 days ago, seeing things out well. One to be interested in on the back of that. Hadn't shown a lot but put that right when going close over 8.6f on nursery debut here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (50/1 -213%) D Day Harley R |
50/1(-213%) | (10) D Day Harley R 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in nursery at Kempton (8f) 9 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Third on nursery debut but wasn't so clever in the cheekpieces at Kempton. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (16/1 -33%) Mystified |
16/1(-33%) | (11) Mystified 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in nursery at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 10 days ago, weakened last ½f. Return to tapeta needs to have a positive effect now. Second on her nursery debut over C&D and had to deal with soft ground at Yarmouth since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (10/1 +9%) Arizona Beauty |
10/1(+9%) | (7) Arizona Beauty 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form eighth of 14 in nursery at Naas (5f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving K. J. Condon. Could be interesting on stable debut as the ability was there in Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (28/1 -180%) Calibos |
28/1(-180%) | (5) Calibos 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in novice at Redcar (7f, good to soft, 28/1) 20 days ago, no extra final 1f. Improvement required making handicap debut. Has shown enough in novice races to believe he can be more competitive in nurseries. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|DQ| (8) (13/2 +0%) Empowered Queen |
13/2(+0%) | (8) Empowered Queen 13/2, Mehmas filly who surpassed form displayed in novice company when good fourth of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 11/4) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Step up to 7f promises to suit on that evidence and her pedigree offers hope for better still. Staying-on fourth on nursery debut over 6f and was backed that day; up to 7f here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Khutulun has to be of interest having got off the mark over this trip at Chelmsford on her nursery debut last month. However, marginal preference is for ANTELOPE, who was narrowly denied in a similar event over the extended 1m here recently and the son of Lope De Vega may have more to offer. Others to note are Manton Road, Empowered Queen and Calibos.
ANTELOPE fared much better than previously when chasing home a next-time-out winner on nursery debut here (8.6f) 3 weeks ago and, with the drop back in trip not expected to pose a problem, he's of interest from a handy draw. Chelmsford-scorer Khutulun and Empowered Queen having her first crack at 7f are others to consider. Telepathic on nursery debut is another to note with progress anticipated.
This looks open but EMPOWERED QUEEN wasn't far away from justifying market support at Newcastle and this extra yardage can suit.

1st (1) (9/2 -50%) Miller Spirit |
9/2(-50%) | (1) Miller Spirit 9/2, Bagged his fourth win of 2024 with a career best in 8-runner handicap at Epsom (12f) 26 days ago. Up another 8 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. Won twice over Epsom's 1m4f (soft/heavy) in September; well on top last time; up 8lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (8/1 +0%) Flash Bardot |
8/1(+0%) | (4) Flash Bardot 8/1, C&D winner who got back on track when third of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Goes well in the mud and holds very good claims. Used to go well in the mud; third at Newmarket (good to soft) last time was an upturn. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (15/2 -67%) Balhambar |
15/2(-67%) | (9) Balhambar 15/2, Bagged a pair of 2m handicap hurdles before an excellent second at Huntingdon. Off 6 months but he's a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark for a yard among the winners. Won on soft in his first two handicaps as hurdler; good 2nd later in April when last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (150/1 -329%) Ruler Legend |
150/1(-329%) | (6) Ruler Legend 150/1, A fair winning hurdler in March but off for six months since a below-par ninth at Taunton. Needs to hit the ground running back in this sphere. Has a reduced mark for this return to Flat but there are more solid options. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (6/1 +63%) Calvert |
6/1(+63%) | (10) Calvert 6/1, Without a win this season but running well until coming in last of 7 in handicap at Haydock (14f, heavy) 28 days ago. Sort to bounce back though. Front-running 2nd at Newmarket (1m6f, soft) penultimate start; tailed off on heavy latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (33/1 +18%) Graignes |
33/1(+18%) | (11) Graignes 33/1, It's now 13 runs since his last win in 2023 and he beat only one in handicap at Kempton (11f) 30 days ago. Others appeal more. 18lb lower than this time last year, as he's been out of form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (18/1 -13%) Torcello |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Torcello 18/1, Course winner who posted a creditable third of 10 in handicap at York (16.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back down in trip but this veteran is well in the mix. His wins have got more infrequent, but a renowned mud lover who may well be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (14/1 -100%) Thundering |
14/1(-100%) | (8) Thundering 14/1, Winless in 2024 but he comes here in good form, second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 22 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Two wins from 24 starts; has found some form again but has more to prove on soft or heavy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (18/1 -80%) Great Bedwyn |
18/1(-80%) | (2) Great Bedwyn 18/1, C&D winner in July who has continued in decent nick, eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 57 days ago. Possibilities. Perhaps latest outing can be excused but he is unraced on worse than good to soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (3.75/1 +17%) Ithaca's Arrow |
3.75/1(+17%) | (7) Ithaca's Arrow 3.75/1, Scored at Chester in September and recorded a respectable third of 11 in handicap here (13.3f, soft) 34 days ago. Needs considering off the same mark. Has done well back on the Flat this August/September on soft/heavy; major each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (25/1 -233%) Silent Glance |
25/1(-233%) | (5) Silent Glance 25/1, Looked a good prospect in landing maidens at Kempton and Wolverhampton but she came in last of five on her handicap debut at Salisbury (1m4f) in June. Well worth another chance after a break. Looked a useful prospect on AW, but something was amiss on handicap/turf debut in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
MILLER SPIRIT scored in the style of a gelding some way ahead of the handicapper when skipping clear of his rivals in testing ground at Epsom. Despite an 8lb hike, he gets the vote to go in again. Ithaca's Arrow was an admirable third in a warm Newbury handicap over an extended 1m5f last month and he merits respect in these calmer waters off an unchanged mark, while the unexposed Silent Glance is surely better than she showed when last of five on her handicap debut.
Plenty are in with a shout so it is worth siding with BALHAMBAR, who was firmly on the up over hurdles when last seen out in the spring and can now capitalise on a reduced mark back in this sphere for a yard among the winners. C&D scorer Flash Bardot goes very well under these likely soft conditions and heads the list of dangers, although Miller Spirit, Torcello and Silent Glance bring solid credentials to the table too.
The conspicuously in-form candidates are MILLER SPIRIT and Ithaca's Arrow, who both look ideally suited by 1m4f in the mud.

1st (4) (6/5 +31%) Potters Charm |
6/5(+31%) | (4) Potters Charm 6/5, £105,000 4-y-o, Valirann gelding. Finished runner-up only start in points and looked a fine prospect when winning 6-runner Ffos Las bumper (15.8f, heavy) in March. Well on top when landing the odds on hurdles debut a month ago and he's sure to leave bare form well behind. Comfortably justified favouritism in a bumper and maiden hurdle (2m4f); nice prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (2/1 +11%) Minella Sixo |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Minella Sixo 2/1, £115,000 5-y-o, Shantou gelding. Brother to useful dual bumper winner Brechin Castle, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Wynn House, stays 3m. Won sole start in points and merely kept up to his work to remain unbeaten 5 months later at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago. In the right hands to progress. Kept jumping to his right at Fairyhouse but still won comfortably by 8l. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (8/1 -33%) First Confession |
8/1(-33%) | (7) First Confession 8/1, Won sole start in Irish points in November and sold on for £140,000 soon after. Represents in-form yard ahead of Rules debut. Fetched £140,000 at the sales soon after winning a heavy-ground point over 3m in Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (18/1 -29%) Cloonainra |
18/1(-29%) | (8) Cloonainra 18/1, Made a winning start to her career under Rules in 13-runner maiden hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, soft). Made a few mistakes when third under a penalty at Downpatrick but she receives weight all round. In against the boys once more here and probably needs to progress again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 +13%) Kingston James |
7/1(+13%) | (2) Kingston James 7/1, Successful on his completed start in points and made a winning start under Rules in a bumper at Ayr, making all and looking very professional. Sound effort under a penalty 2 months later and heavily backed, he landed the odds at Hexham 3 weeks ago. Up in trip and there's more to come. Won an average novice at Hexham 21 days ago but he's a horse with potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (28/1 +15%) Ailt An Chorrain |
28/1(+15%) | (1) Ailt An Chorrain 28/1, Failed to win in 4 point starts but caused a bit of a surprise when making a successful hurdles debut at Perth in August (2m) responding well. Step up in trip will suit but much more needed under a penalty. This is a way better race than the maiden hurdle he won at Perth in August. |

7th (6) (50/1 +24%) Better Off Alone |
50/1(+24%) | (6) Better Off Alone 50/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to fairly useful hurdler (stays 25f) Wonderwall. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points and given a considerate introduction to hurdling ay Worcester last month, finishing well behind Potters Charm. Well behind Potters Charm last time and asking a lot to turn around that 40l deficit. |

8th (5) (125/1 -150%) Beaufort Breeze |
125/1(-150%) | (5) Beaufort Breeze 125/1, £9,000 5-y-o, first foal, dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (stays 25f) Three Card Brag. Won completed start in Irish points in May but this no easy introduction to hurdling. Lucky to win his third point and was bought for £9,000 afterwards. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Point-to-point winner Minella Sixo impressed when scoring comfortably on his Rules debut over 2m at Fairyhouse earlier this month and, with improvement likely, it will be no surprise if he is able to make his presence felt in this grade. That said, preference is still for POTTERS CHARM, who was on target in a Ffos Las bumper in the spring before confirming that promise when bolting up over 2m4f at Worcester on his debut over timber recently. With his yard in fine form, he looks the one to side with. Cloonainra is also noteworthy.
POTTERS CHARM represents a yard in superb form and he's looked a fine prospect both starts under Rules, running out a stylish winner of a bumper in the spring before outclassing 9 rivals at Worcester a month ago. Sure to leave that bare form behind, he'll take some stopping, for all Minella Sixo is promising in his own right. Of the rest, six-figure point recruit First Confession merits consideration.
This doesn't look that strong a novice by Cheltenham standards and opportunity knocks for POTTERS CHARM (nap) to go 3-3 under rules.

1st (1) (7/2 -27%) Great Universe |
7/2(-27%) | (1) Great Universe 7/2, Untrustworthy individual. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 10/1) 29 days ago. Up in trip minus hood and he's a player if on his best form. Easy winner of bumper and solid efforts in first two hurdles; better for Listowel return. |

2nd (4) (7/2 +13%) Machismo |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Machismo 7/2, Below form fourth of 8 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good, 2/1) 18 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Engaged 1.53 Clonmel Thursday, Point winner on soft has lacked a gear in bumpers but bred to do well at this game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (14/1 +58%) Westernersunrise |
14/1(+58%) | (9) Westernersunrise 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 12 in bumper at Listowel (20f, soft, 20/1) 30 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Up in trip. Pulled up on sole hurdles start but fair bumper runs in tongue-te since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (14/1 +36%) Love Like This |
14/1(+36%) | (7) Love Like This 14/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 7/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, good to soft) 15 days ago, behind when pulled up before 2 out. Up in trip. Modest placed form behind a couple of hotpots here in August but no progression since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (2/1 +64%) Workinonadream |
2/1(+64%) | (10) Workinonadream 2/1, Fair hurdler. Bit below form third of 7 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Clonmel (19.9f, good) 22 days ago, though would have been closer but for a late error. Up in trip. Wexford second over 3m looks good now but jumped poorly back in trip last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/1 -414%) The Story So Far |
9/1(-414%) | (2) The Story So Far 9/1, Modest hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 18f in bumpers. Good fifth of 18 in novice hurdle (22/1) at Naas (19.3f, soft), needing stiffer test. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip, which looks well worth exploring. 2m2f bumper winner on winter ground at Limerick; fairly well held all hurdle starts so far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (11/2 +21%) Desert Ian |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Desert Ian 11/2, Arctic Cosmos gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Desert Heather and modest hurdler Lady Malarkey. Dam unraced half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 31f) Outlaw Pete. Successful on second of 2 starts in points. Wears tongue strap. Point winner makes rules debut; headgear combo not one you'd like to see for three-miler. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (28/1 +15%) Tell Me Again |
28/1(+15%) | (5) Tell Me Again 28/1, First run since leaving Paul Cashman when broke blood vessel when pulled up in novice hurdle at Listowel (22f, good, 33/1) 33 days ago, behind when pulled up after 3 out. Respectable third at Kilbeggan (3m) but burst when pulled up on stable debut at Listowel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (66/1 -32%) Chief O'hara |
66/1(-32%) | (6) Chief O'hara 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Ran okay in Kilbeggan bumper but jumping issues and moderate form over hurdles so far. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This is a drop in class for THE STORY SO FAR on his return to action and he may be worth a shot. The Westerner gelding ran in some strong maiden hurdles earlier in the year after winning a Limerick bumper last Christmas. He has a mark of 111 and that gives him a big shout in this. Great Universe is rated 1lb superior, but he needs to show more after making little impact on his return in handicap company at Listowel. Workinonadream has been knocking on the door and could be place material again. She is nicely weighted with Tiernan Power Roche taking off 7lb.
Despite having a bit to find, THE STORY SO FAR surely has a bigger performance in him over this sort of distance so he's chanced to make a winning return to action. Workinonadream and Great Universe are a couple of potential threats.
Gordon Elliott has twice won this in recent years and \bMACHISMO\, no great shakes in bumpers, is bred to make a staying hurdler

1st (7) (10/1 -43%) Irish Nectar |
10/1(-43%) | (7) Irish Nectar 10/1, Winless this term but he shaped well when fifth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, soft, 16/1) 14 days ago, doing best of those drawn high. Merits serious consideration off an easing mark. Fared best of the larger centre group when fifth of 17 at York a fortnight ago; considered. |

2nd (6) (3/1 +33%) Nariko |
3/1(+33%) | (6) Nariko 3/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 13/2) 22 days ago. Has good chance on form. 3yo who has won on soft and heavy ground the last twice and could continue to progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/2 +0%) Eye Of Dubai |
7/2(+0%) | (2) Eye Of Dubai 7/2, Latest win at Ripon in September. 17/2, respectable third of 21 in handicap at York (6f, soft) 13 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Third of 21 at York a fortnight ago; this progressive 3yo could play a leading role today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (28/1 -40%) The Coffee Pod |
28/1(-40%) | (8) The Coffee Pod 28/1, Latest win at York in July. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good, 9/1) 49 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account. Won at York in July when just 1lb lower but his subsequent form has been mixed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (11/1 +8%) Danzan |
11/1(+8%) | (9) Danzan 11/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, creditable second of 18 in handicap at York (7f, soft) 14 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. In the picture. His losing sequence is up to 20 but he's in good form; every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (40/1 +0%) Conquest Of Power |
40/1(+0%) | (10) Conquest Of Power 40/1, 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 4¼ lengths eighth of 10 to Bishop's Crown in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Something to find on form. Won two in a row on Polytrack in May but down the field on grass on his last three starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (14/1 +22%) Bishop's Crown |
14/1(+22%) | (3) Bishop's Crown 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Salisbury in September. Below form 7½ lengths seventh of 13 to Nariko in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 12/1) 22 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won at Salisbury last month; below par there since but this C&D winner is not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (11/4 +50%) The Eyes Have It |
11/4(+50%) | (5) The Eyes Have It 11/4, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Yarmouth in July. Very good second of 6 in handicap (7/4) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 4 days ago, clear of rest. Ought to be thereabouts. Lightly raced 3yo who was a clear second at Pontefract on Monday; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (12/1 -118%) Summerghand |
12/1(-118%) | (1) Summerghand 12/1, C&D winner. Twenty two runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, seventh of 22 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 34 days ago, faring best of those held up. Visor back on and in the mix. 10yo who isn't the force of old, but running respectably and drops back in grade here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Cut in the ground would appear to hold the key to Nariko, who struck at Haydock in May before following up on her return at Salisbury earlier this month. Hugo Palmer's improving three-year-old merits the utmost respect, but the vote goes to SUMMERGHAND. This is the first time David O'Meara's veteran has contested a class 4 handicap since winning over C&D off 3lb lower in May 2018 and having performed with credit in the Ayr Silver Cup last month, he can exploit it to record an 18th career triumph. Danzan heads the remainder.
IRISH NECTAR caught the eye when fifth in a big field at York last time out so edges the vote in this very open sprint. Hugo Palmer's recent Salisbury scorer Nariko is weighted to have a big say and rates the chief threat, with The Eyes Have It, Danzan and The Coffee Pod all worthy of consideration too.
The progressive 3yo filly NARIKO is well served by slow ground and can complete a hat-trick. The Eyes Have It may be the danger.

1st (4) (5/6 +100%) Spirit Lead Me |
5/6(+100%) | (4) Spirit Lead Me 5/6, Well found in the market and proved a different proposition when winning 8-runner nursery (11/10) at Kempton (8f) 9 days ago, forging clear. Big shout under a penalty on that evidence from a handy draw. Clearcut winner over Kempton's 1m and he's 11lb well-in even with the penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (6/1 +63%) Crest Of Esteem |
6/1(+63%) | (2) Crest Of Esteem 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in novice (33/1) at Chelmsford (6f) in August. Longer trip could help now tackling nurseries after a 71-day break/gelded and the market may prove a useful guide. Nearer last than first in his 6f novices; gelded ahead of this nursery debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (20/1 -67%) Yehudi |
20/1(-67%) | (7) Yehudi 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in nursery at this C&D (3/1) 32 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Remains with a bigger effort in his locker. Only 3-1 when seventh on nursery debut here and could be capable of better than that. |

4th (5) (7/1 +7%) Gold Black |
7/1(+7%) | (5) Gold Black 7/1, Career best when winning 12-runner nursery at Newcastle (7.1f, 15/2) 10 days ago, leading dying strides. Possibilities under a penalty if arriving in same form. Got going in the nick of time to outstay the favourite over 7f at Newcastle; penalised. |

6th (9) (40/1 -60%) Cuban Star |
40/1(-60%) | (9) Cuban Star 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 16 in maiden (14/1) at Chepstow (7.1f, good) 60 days ago, racing off the pace and never a threat. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut but widest draw of all not ideal. Makes handicap debut after two months away and drawn wide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (20/1 -67%) Puglia |
20/1(-67%) | (11) Puglia 20/1, Going the right way at a low level, best effort yet when winning 4-runner nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 2/1) 67 days ago. Remains early days with her and her very promising pilot's claim off-sets her rise in the weights. This understandably tougher, however. Untried beyond 6f but beat a subsequent winner at Windsor in August. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (16/1 -100%) Georginio |
16/1(-100%) | (1) Georginio 16/1, Sergei Prokofiev gelding who improved when finishing good third of 9 in a C&D nursery 32 days ago, off bridle before most but closing all the way to the line. Cheekpieces could help in that regard now and he may yet have more to offer. Didn't travel that well but stuck to it and went close on nursery debut over C&D. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (66/1 -100%) Rinky Tinky Tinky |
66/1(-100%) | (10) Rinky Tinky Tinky 66/1, Modest form on third of her 3 starts in 6f maiden/novice contests this summer and whilst she faced a stiff task in valuable sales' race at Newmarket latest, her opening mark still demands progress now handicapping. Tough task in a sales race last time; likely improver now upped to 7f for nursery debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SPIRIT LEAD ME appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring over a mile at Kempton last week and the son of Calyx is very hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty, which still leaves him 11lb well-in. Gold Black and River Blackwater are other recent winners who make the shortlist, while Piranha Rama and Puglia have to be taken into consideration as well.
SPIRIT LEAD ME justified strong support when making a winning nursery debut at Kempton (1m) 9 days ago, his strength at the finish particularly taking. He ought to take some stopping under a penalty. Fellow last-time-out winners, Gold Black and River Blackwater are others to consider, whilst Yehudi likely has a bigger effort in his locker also.
He's dropped back from 1m but SPIRIT LEAD ME is 11lb well-in even with a penalty after winning by daylight at Kempton.

Different ground but can surely win one of these on that showing and improvement likely. Too Darn Hot colt; promising second in Sandown maiden eight weeks ago; respected. |

33/1(-175%) | (5) Furthur 33/1, €65,000 foal, 58,000 gns yearling, Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 7f winner Queen of Power. Plenty about him physically, but he was held back by inexperience on debut at Newmarket (1m, 18/1) 3 weeks ago, finishing last of the 7. Should improve. Last of seven at Newmarket but may do better with that outing under his belt. |

Scopey sort who was marked up plenty at the breeze-ups and produced a promising first effort at Newmarket (7f, 15/2) 3 weeks ago, his early keenness telling late on. Will improve. Showed some promise with his fifth-place finish at Newmarket; open to improvement. |

12th (10) (300/1 -100%) Sydney Whistler |
300/1(-100%) | (10) Sydney Whistler 300/1, Little impact in Bath/Brighton contests this month. Comfortably held in both outings. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CENTIGRADE offered a lot of encouragement when only just pipped by a smart prospect on his debut at Sandown in August. Ralph Beckett's colt is entitled to improve for that experience and a first career victory looks very possible. His stablemate Majestic Leo is an intriguing newcomer on paper and it will be interesting to see how the son of Camelot compares in the betting. Fellow debutant Sudu, a half-brother to the decent Noble Patron, is another potential fly in the ointment.
CENTIGRADE made a very promising start at Sandown 8 weeks ago, beaten on the post, and could be hard to beat if coping with these different conditions. Ralph Beckett has enjoyed a tremendous year with his juveniles and introduces Majestic Leo and Thosewerethedays in a race the stable has won in the past. Sudu is another newcomer to note.
Ralph Beckett holds a strong-looking hand. CENTIGRADE is first choice, ahead of Majestic Leo.

Fiercely Proud |
(2) (5/2 +0%)5/2(+0%) | (2) Fiercely Proud 5/2, Dual bumper scorer who also won his first 2 starts over hurdles before Christmas. Placed twice at Graded level before running creditably on his handicap debut at Sandown when last seen. Yard going okay and interesting on return with 10-lb conditional in the saddle. Second in Grade 2 novice in February and ran well on handicap debut in April; shortlisted. |

1st (10) (6/1 +0%) Impero |
6/1(+0%) | (10) Impero 6/1, Fairly useful/untrustworthy maiden on Flat (stays 17f) and similar form over hurdles, making the most of a good opportunity in 7-runner maiden (5/6) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Likely to continue in form. Made all Downpatrick maiden this month; tougher task here but evidently in good nick. |

2nd (8) (3/1 +70%) Norman Fletcher |
3/1(+70%) | (8) Norman Fletcher 3/1, Showed fairly useful form when landing a maiden/novice last winter. Failed to fire both starts in handicaps but one of those was the Betfair Hurdle and he reappears with his yard amongst the winners. Needs considering. Safely held in first two handicaps but still has scope for progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (9/1 -29%) Aucunrisque |
9/1(-29%) | (1) Aucunrisque 9/1, Betfair Hurdle winner in 2023. Largely disappointing last season but proved he retains plenty of his old ability when third to Enthused at Plumpton on his reappearance last month and meets that rival on more favourable terms here. Sound effort when third on seasonal debut at Plumpton but needs to build on that run here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (3/1 +67%) Jilaijone |
3/1(+67%) | (9) Jilaijone 3/1, Juvenile hurdle winner who ran well to be placed on his first 4 starts last season. Stopped quickly at Sandown and came up short in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury but got back on track to some extent at Fakenham on final outing and must enter calculations from 3 lb lower on return. Lost way a bit in second half of last season but returns from break on a good mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (10/1 -43%) Inca De Lafayette |
10/1(-43%) | (5) Inca De Lafayette 10/1, Fairly useful handicap hurdler last season, successful twice at up to 19f (including on return) and ended the campaign with a good second at Taunton (16.5f) in February. Respected on seasonal bow. 2-4 last season, after a wind operation, and open to further improvement this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (14/1 +58%) Fils De Roi |
14/1(+58%) | (11) Fils De Roi 14/1, Dual hurdles winner who found only a progressive sort too good in a handicap chase at Sedgefield when last seen 11 months ago. Returns to hurdling on a workable mark and it's unlikely he'll be lacking for fitness. Absent since coming second on chasing debut last November; might need this run. |

7th (12) (7/1 +30%) Here Comes Georgie |
7/1(+30%) | (12) Here Comes Georgie 7/1, Right back on track in recent months having landed back-to-back 2m Perth handicaps. Much respected in hat-trick bid. 2-2 at Perth since switched back to hurdling in August and further progress is possible. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (33/1 -175%) Enthused |
33/1(-175%) | (3) Enthused 33/1, Most likeable sort who resumed progress to record a sixth win in this sphere in 8-runner handicap at Plumpton (2m) last month, leading final 100 yds. Not helped by a couple of uncharacteristic errors at Fontwell since but is probably too high in the weights now in anyway. Career-best form when winning last month but may find others better handicapped here. |

9th (6) (16/1 -14%) Castel Gandolfo |
16/1(-14%) | (6) Castel Gandolfo 16/1, Enhanced superb record at Market Rasen when landing the valuable Summer Hurdle in July. Not seen to best effect when sixth at Perth next time and should bounce back from a rare below-par effort at aforementioned track last month. Won Summer Hurdle at Market Rasen in July and this C&D also suits; considered each-way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (20/1 +29%) Jetronic |
20/1(+29%) | (4) Jetronic 20/1, Chase winner in France who opened his hurdling account on third start for Paul Nicholls in a slowly-run Plumpton novice (20.5f, soft) in March. However, disappointed with his response to pressure at Ayr the following month and has since switched yards. Plumpton novice winner for Paul Nicholls in March; left that stable after a lesser effort. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
FIERCELY PROUD enjoyed a productive campaign last season, scoring twice and running with plenty of credit in Grade 2 company a couple of times before finishing an admirable seventh in a hot handicap at Sandown. In these slightly calmer waters off 1lb lower, he could prove hard to peg back having run well fresh before. Inca De Lafayette lost little in defeat when attempting to complete a Taunton double and merits respect off 1lb higher on his reappearance. Useful dual-purpose performer Impero also catches the eye.
An ultra-competitive finale. FIRECELY PROUD did well as a novice hurdler last season and ran creditably in a big-field handicap at Sandown on his final outing, especially considering he was left with a bit too much to do, so he's an appealing candidate on this return to action with his rider able to claim 10 lb against his rivals. Jilaijone has been shown some leniency by the assessor and can go on well on his reappearance, with hat-trick seeker Here Comes Georgie also of firm interest.
Preference is for FIERCELY PROUD, who looks well handicapped if judged on the form of his Grade 2 novice second in February.

1st (10) (17/2 -42%) Doitforjane Sid |
17/2(-42%) | (10) Doitforjane Sid 17/2, Well held all 3 starts in maidens but much more like it when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, soft, 20/1) 19 days ago, jumping left last and running on. Lines up here easily one of the least exposed and worth a second look again. 20s, clicked in first handicap at Killarney where snug winner over 2m7f; 11lb hike nasty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (7/1 -8%) Nevereverever |
7/1(-8%) | (13) Nevereverever 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, excellent second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft) 25 days ago, that despite some indifferent jumping. Capable of better still if brushing up in that department. Kept plugging away when runner-up over 2m4f at Roscommon; hood left off and up in grade. |

3rd (1) (10/1 -33%) Donacheady Gale |
10/1(-33%) | (1) Donacheady Gale 10/1, Won 12-runner handicap chase (8/1) at Listowel (22f, soft) 27 days ago, driven out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Respected operating from lower mark in this sphere. Won nice chase prize at Listowel and pipped off this hurdles mark in June; no headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/2 +42%) Crossing The Bar |
7/2(+42%) | (5) Crossing The Bar 7/2, 13/2, first run since leaving Neil Mulholland when good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24.7f, good) 22 days ago, finishing strongly having been left with a lot to do. Has good chance on form. Eyecatching second on Irish debut at Clonmel; extra furlong here all the better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (17/2 +39%) Shuil Na Tra |
17/2(+39%) | (14) Shuil Na Tra 17/2, C&D winner. 11/2, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24.1f, soft) 25 days ago, tailed off when pulled up early in straight. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Tough to assess on balance. Beat Broken Ice over C&D in August; no show since at Roscommon and new headgear tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (9/1 +36%) Temptationinmilan |
9/1(+36%) | (11) Temptationinmilan 9/1, Creditable 9¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Doitforjane Sid in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.8f, soft, 12/1) 19 days ago, weakening gradually. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Fourth to Doitforjane Sid at Killarney and nice pull at the weights; headgear may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/1 +10%) Broken Ice |
9/1(+10%) | (7) Broken Ice 9/1, 11/2, bettered previous efforts for present yard when 8 lengths second of 9 to Shuil Na Tra in handicap hurdle at this course (25.4f, soft) 65 days ago, pulling hard. Losing run tempers enthusiasm to a degree, however. Mostly chasing last two years; goes well here and was second in C&D contest in August. |

8th (8) (10/1 -25%) Gladiatorial |
10/1(-25%) | (8) Gladiatorial 10/1, Improved to win 11-runner handicap chase at this course (21.1f, good, 10/1) 23 days ago, driven out. Claims if arriving in same form returned to this sphere. Lucky chase winner here; second over 2m6f last year but not sure he wants this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (18/1 -29%) I Am Rocco |
18/1(-29%) | (12) I Am Rocco 18/1, Maiden who ran best race for present yard when second at Ballinrobe (22.4f) in August but failed to repeat that when thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (22f, soft) 28 days ago. Others hold stronger claims. Well held when placed in Ballinrobe handicaps and soundly beaten at Listowel since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (8/1 +0%) Mount Anglesby |
8/1(+0%) | (2) Mount Anglesby 8/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle (11/4) at Punchestown (15.8f, good) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Steps up markedly in trip and pair of siblings have won over this far; tongue-tie back on. |

11th (6) (11/1 +0%) Kilkee Bay |
11/1(+0%) | (6) Kilkee Bay 11/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, good, 11/2) 18 days ago. Present mark looks about right on balance. No better than ok in first three handicaps, beaten around 13l in three-milers last twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (40/1 -100%) Annamaymurt |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Annamaymurt 40/1, Malinas gelding who has offered little in handful of maiden hurdles to date. However, he is bred to stay well and this marked step up in trip could unlock some progress now handicapping. Betting can prove an informative guide. Ran well in first maiden but quiet since; steps back up in trip for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (80/1 -300%) Father Jed |
80/1(-300%) | (15) Father Jed 80/1, Veteran. Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap chase at Gowran (18f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Difficult ask. Old boy was placed twice in May but has been struggling in both disciplines since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (4) (22/1 -57%) Ragin Cajun |
22/1(-57%) | (4) Ragin Cajun 22/1, Dual winner at up to 3m over hurdles last year but struggled to scale same heights in 3 starts this time around, behind when falling last at Fairyhouse (3m) 18 days ago. Running on and wouldn't have been beaten far had he stood up at Fairyhouse; blinkers back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (33/1 -65%) Story Rory |
33/1(-65%) | (3) Story Rory 33/1, Course winner who was below best in pair of outings following a lengthy absence in July. Fell in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Punchestown (22.8f, good) 10 days ago, coming down 5 out. Others more persuasive. Three-time winner, including here, at up to 2m6f; after missing a year, quiet runs lately. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CROSSING THE BAR was a bit unlucky on his first outing for Cian Collins at Clonmel earlier in the month and may be able to score now. The Poet's Voice gelding was staying on well when making a blunder at the last flight and did well to finish second in the end. Stamina seems to be his forte and any rain here could help. Gladiatorial bounced back to winning ways over fences here and could be the danger. Donacheady Gale is another reverting to the smaller obstacles after a chase win and also has to come into calculations.
CROSSING THE BAR marked himself down as one to be interested in when finishing with a flourish to take second on stable debut at Clonmel 3 weeks ago and, on a handy mark judged on his exploits for Neil Mulholland, he gets the nod to confirm the promise of that effort. Roscommon-second Nevereverever can do better as his jumping improves and is feared, with last-time-out winners Doitforjane Sid and Donacheady Gale others in the mix.
Cian Collins has been a trainer to follow at Sligo this year and might strike again with eyecatching Clonmel runner-up \bCROSSING THE BAR\

1st (4) (6/5 +31%) Fine Interview |
6/5(+31%) | (4) Fine Interview 6/5, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in October. 7/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 6 days ago, faring best of those held up. Has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark. 3yo who has an improving profile on soft ground and holds strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (12/1 +40%) Smart Vision |
12/1(+40%) | (5) Smart Vision 12/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Thirsk in August. Hooded for 1st time, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 20 days ago. In the picture. Two 7f handicap wins this summer but no threat the last twice and unproven on slow ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (11/1 +45%) Be Proud |
11/1(+45%) | (8) Be Proud 11/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good, 33/1) 15 days ago. Dropped to a handy mark so he can make his presence felt. Below last winning mark but has to perform much better than on his last few starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/1 +30%) Havana Rum |
7/1(+30%) | (9) Havana Rum 7/1, Latest win at Pontefract in July. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Pontefract (6f, heavy) 18 days ago, finishing well. Ought to be in the shake-up. Has run well in the main this season with two wins; could be in the shake-up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (14/1 +36%) Bulldog Drummond |
14/1(+36%) | (3) Bulldog Drummond 14/1, Latest win at Newmarket in August. 28/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 34 days ago, merely closing up late. Has work to do. Well beaten the last twice (AW/good to firm) but unexposed on slow ground; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (5/1 -11%) Fantasy Master |
5/1(-11%) | (7) Fantasy Master 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. 6/1, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 9 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy is a plus so he's shortlisted. Made it 2-3 here with 5f win last month; today's return to 6f could bear fruit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (7/1 +50%) The Good Biscuit |
7/1(+50%) | (6) The Good Biscuit 7/1, 14/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive. Twice went close earlier in the season and may have needed his recent return to action. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (28/1 -273%) Radio Goo Goo |
28/1(-273%) | (1) Radio Goo Goo 28/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, soft, 11/4) 34 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Has fallen to a workable mark so she's very much one to consider. Two wins in May/June and runner-up in August; not at the very top of her game since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Having posted creditable efforts in defeat at Ascot and Nottingham since his victory over 5f here last month, FANTASY MASTER makes plenty of appeal on his return to 6f. Darryll Holland's charge is likely to relish this stiffer test of stamina and he edges the vote over Fine Interview. The three-year-old is 2lb well-in on this quick turnaround after finishing a close-up second at Catterick six days ago and another prominent role is forecast. The downgraded Radio Goo Goo may fare best of the remainder.
FINE INTERVIEW comes here better than ever and rates the pick of these weights too so is fancied to bag a third success of 2024. Recent Leicester victor Sergeant Pep should ensure Hamad Al Jehani 3-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though, while Fantasy Master and Radio Goo Goo need factoring in too. Smart Vision completes the shortlist.
A chance is taken on BULLDOG DRUMMOND, who needs to stage a revival but could do just that now back on a slow surface.

1st (4) (7/2 +56%) Sky Safari |
7/2(+56%) | (4) Sky Safari 7/2, Bred for longer trips so highly positive she could make a winning start over this trip in 13-runner Yarmouth maiden back in June. Asked a big question when twelfth of 13 in listed company at Ascot (7f) 3 weeks ago and this rates more suitable making handicap debut. Debut winner; player if repeating that effort now switched to AW for handicap debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (13/2 +0%) Noisy Music |
13/2(+0%) | (8) Noisy Music 13/2, Off the mark on yard/handicap debut at Windsor (6f) in June. Largely consistent subsequently on turf and posted career best when winning 9-runner handicap (5/2) at this C&D 34 days ago, overcoming a positional bias. In the mix again nudged up 2 lb. Up 2lb and in a better race, so it remains to be seen whether she can back up her C&D win.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (18/1 -112%) Apeeling |
18/1(-112%) | (3) Apeeling 18/1, Winner at Windsor (6f) in June. 20/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 38 days ago. Still, she's unexposed at this trip and her previous Kempton fourth over 6f highlighted her present mark is a workable one. 6f turf winner who has been inconsistent since; now steps up in trip.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (22/1 -193%) La Fleur Petrus |
22/1(-193%) | (7) La Fleur Petrus 22/1, Crucially settled much better in first-time hood when opening her account in 11-runner maiden at Southwell (7.1f) back in February. Absent subsequently but she's bred to be useful and there could be more to come now handicapping. Came good in a fillies' maiden in February; not obviously well treated but could improve.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (4/7 +48%) Unassuming |
4/7(+48%) | (1) Unassuming 4/7, Much improved when successful on yard/handicap debut at Southwell (1m) in September and followed up in good style at that venue 3 days later. 7 lb higher in pursuit of the hat-trick but very much of interest again. Down in trip. Back-to-back wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) for this trainer; remains well treated up 7lb.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (14/1 -75%) Incrimination |
14/1(-75%) | (2) Incrimination 14/1, Dual 6f winner who was holding her form well on all-weather earlier this year. Shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 8/1) 51 days ago and likely she'll be much closer to form here. Could come on for her reappearance at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last month but more needed.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (66/1 -200%) Heart Of The City |
66/1(-200%) | (6) Heart Of The City 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago, weakening 1f out. Blinkers on 1st time. Yard look to hold much stronger claims with Unassuming. Second on debut but well below that level since; blinkers now accompany tongue-tie.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (80/1 -21%) Beautiful Dawn |
80/1(-21%) | (5) Beautiful Dawn 80/1, Won 2 of her 3 starts at Dundalk for Joseph O'Brien last winter but not beaten a rival in 2 runs for new stable this autumn. Can only be watched until displaying more positive signs. 7f/1m AW winner; well beaten at big odds on both starts for this trainer; plenty to prove.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SKY SAFARI struggled in Listed company at Ascot a few weeks ago, but her debut victory at Yarmouth in June suggests that she could go well here off a mark of 73. The hat-trick seeking Unassuming has to defy a career-high mark but is an obvious threat to the selection, while La Fleur Petrus and Noisy Music are others with valid form claims.
UNASSUMING looked one to keep firmly onside when landing back-to-back Southwell handicaps last month and George Boughey's filly makes plenty of appeal in her hat-trick bid. Recent C&D winner Noisy Music, Apeeling and Incrimination head up the dangers.
After successive wins over Southwell's 1m trip, UNASSUMING still looks well treated despite a 7lb rise.

Saisissante |
(9) (125/1 -279%)125/1(-279%) | (9) Saisissante 125/1, Four-time Flat winner in France who landed a soft-ground juvenile hurdle for this yard last November. Not seen since finishing third in a juvenile listed hurdle here the following month and got to be a chance she'll be using this as a prep for a return to hurdles. Hurdles winner for current yard; absent since last December; market helpful. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (4) (7/1 +30%) Ciara Pearl |
7/1(+30%) | (4) Ciara Pearl 7/1, Four wins from 10 runs this year, the latest win at Sandown (1¼m) in July. Her run of good form came to a halt at Newmarket last month but she's not the type to stay down for long. Record is 5-14; perhaps feeling the effects of a busy spell last time; may rebound. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (13/2 +54%) Big Bear Hug |
13/2(+54%) | (8) Big Bear Hug 13/2, Latest win at Epsom (1¼m) in July. Creditable second on soft there (1½m) last month but needs to shrug off a below-par run at Newmarket since. Has never defied a mark this high but is proven in the mud. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/3 +49%) Lady La Fay |
10/3(+49%) | (7) Lady La Fay 10/3, Fairly useful form, getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking when easily making all in a 1½m Ripon novice on good to soft 27 days ago. Her opening handicap mark demands more but she is a relatively unexposed 3-y-o from a top stable. Registered an 8l success in Ripon novice event last month and may show further progress. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (20/1 -43%) Dramatic Effect |
20/1(-43%) | (11) Dramatic Effect 20/1, Winner at Goodwood (1m) in June. Hooded for 1st time, good third of 8 in handicap (22/1) at this course (1m, soft) 34 days ago, running on. Up in trip. Ran well over 1m here last month (wore hood); new trip presents a question mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (18/1 -80%) Hello Miss Lady |
18/1(-80%) | (10) Hello Miss Lady 18/1, Came good in a 1m Lingfield novice last month. Brings an unexposed profile to this handicap debut but these ground conditions are an unknown. Successful in weak AW event last month; this is harder but she's still unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (12/1 -100%) Power Of Destiny |
12/1(-100%) | (2) Power Of Destiny 12/1, Going the right way until a disappointing run at the York Ebor meeting. Showed promise in the mud on debut and no surprise to see this lightly-raced filly bounce straight back. Something seemed amiss last time; steadily progressive otherwise; not written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (11/1 -10%) Shemozzle |
11/1(-10%) | (3) Shemozzle 11/1, Got back on the up when landing 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) in August but has found life tougher in deeper races twice since. Proven in the mud. Has one stand-out performance since handicapping; fairly useful but isn't solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (15/2 -15%) Elladonna |
15/2(-15%) | (5) Elladonna 15/2, Pair of 1¼m handicap wins on good ground over this summer. Not seen to best effect (met trouble) when sixth of 10 at Haydock last month but her ability to cope with deep ground has to be taken on trust. Hood refitted. Beaten favourite last time; interesting with hood reapplied, being 2-2 in this headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (10/3 -11%) Wintercrack |
10/3(-11%) | (1) Wintercrack 10/3, Has two wins and a second to show for 3 outings on heavy this year, scoring easily back from a break at Nottingham (1¼m). Has conditions to suit again and a 7 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Made all at Nottingham this month, taking form figures in heavy-ground handicaps to 121. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (17/2 +15%) Expert Witness |
17/2(+15%) | (6) Expert Witness 17/2, Won twice over 1¼mr this summer and showed she's still in form when third of 11 at Salisbury (1¼m, good to soft) 22 days ago, clear of rest. Acts on soft. Record of 2221213 in 1m2f handicaps this term, clear third on heavy going last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LADY LA FAY was most taking when making all in a novice event at Ripon and she could prove tough to catch now entering handicaps. A mark of 84 looks workable given the manner of that victory and she edges the vote over fellow three-year-old Power Of Destiny, who is better than she showed in a competitive heritage handicap at York's Ebor Festival and shouldn't be underestimated on the back of a 63-day break. Elladonna and Wintercrack have the form to feature as well.
WINTERCRACK revels in this sort of ground and can defy the handicapper. Power of Destiny had a progressive profile until her York no show and can bounce straight back and provide the chief threat ahead of fellow 3-y-o Lady La Fay.
Handicap debutante LADY LA FAY is taken to build on her Ripon success and follow up. Wintercrack is second choice.

11/4(-100%) | (2) Ballybow 11/4, €90,000 3-y-o, £110,000 5-y-o, Flemensfirth gelding. Brother to bumper winner Hurricane Vichi and half-brother to modest hurdler Malago Rose. Runner-up both starts in points (latest Apr 20). Clearly the one to beat. Went close in both soft-ground points in the spring before being bought for £110,000. |

2nd (3) (11/10 +56%) Coral River |
11/10(+56%) | (3) Coral River 11/10, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, second of 19 in bumper at Punchestown (18.8f, heavy) 175 days ago. Looks the pick of those with experience. Two good runs towards the end of last season; has the best form, the layoff is the worry. |

3rd (4) (9/2 -100%) Supreme Ruler |
9/2(-100%) | (4) Supreme Ruler 9/2, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 7/4, third of 13 in bumper at Listowel (16f, good) on bumper debut 33 days ago, needing stiffer test. Sharper for third in Listowel bumper and longer trip a help but looks vulnerable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 +23%) Cailin Deas |
5/1(+23%) | (5) Cailin Deas 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 6 in bumper (10/1) at Limerick (16f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Respected. Back to form when third in mares' winners' bumper at Limerick; longer trip might help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (125/1 -150%) Galcafed |
125/1(-150%) | (6) Galcafed 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in bumper (80/1) at Punchestown (15.8f, good) on NH debut 10 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. 80s, tailed off at Punchestown lately and now tongue-tied; can only be watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Gigginstown recruit BALLYBOW is interesting on his first outing for Gordon Elliott. The Flemensfirth gelding cost 110,000 pounds after finishing runner-up in two point-to-points. He bumped into subsequent three-time bumper winner Takt De Touques on his debut and was a touch unlucky next time when making a mistake at the second-last and also getting slightly hampered. Coral River has good bumper form in the book and looks the danger. He was last seen chasing home a smart-looking sort in Don'tstopthemusic at the Punchestown Festival. Supreme Ruler and Cailin Deas also have solid placed form and are others to consider.
BALLYBOW is a full brother to a bumper winner and fetched six figures after showing plenty in points, so he's a straightforward choice to make a successful Rules debut. Coral River is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines.
Rules debutant Ballybow is feared but CORAL RIVER had two very good runs at the end of last season and should take a bit of beating

1st (5) (6/1 -20%) Croeso Cymraeg |
6/1(-20%) | (5) Croeso Cymraeg 6/1, Finally cashed in on falling mark in 7-runner handicap (3/1) at Leicester (10f, heavy) 10 days ago, always holding on. Has to be taken very seriously given he escapes a penalty for that. Escapes penalty for Leicester apprentice win under Tom Kiely-Marshall; obvious chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/2 +42%) Azahara Palace |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Azahara Palace 7/2, Reappearance winner at Leicester in May. 13/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft) 35 days ago, running on and he's unexposed over this sort of trip. Form of latest soft-ground Newbury third solid; player with Oisin Murphy retaining ride. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (4/1 +38%) Skinny Malinka |
4/1(+38%) | (10) Skinny Malinka 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden but best effort yet when second of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Isn't fully exposed and represents in-form stable. Good second over 1m2f at Redcar (soft) latest and this 3yo could have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (8/1 -7%) Tele Red |
8/1(-7%) | (3) Tele Red 8/1, Triple winner in 2023. Campaigned more sparingly this year, though latest third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good, 5/1) 24 days ago, when in need of a stronger gallop, was a sound effort. Merits consideration up in trip. Soft-ground win last autumn; arrives in form and has to enter reckoning. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (13) (25/1 +24%) Lunar Jet |
25/1(+24%) | (13) Lunar Jet 25/1, 11/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, heavy) 42 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and this veteran is easy-enough to oppose. Mud lover with a career-low mark and might have failed to stay 1m6/2m the latest twice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (15/2 +32%) Powerful Response |
15/2(+32%) | (14) Powerful Response 15/2, Good third of 14 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft, 5/1) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and his current mark is certainly workable. On good mark; better signs when third at Redcar latest but Skinny Malinka ahead in second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (40/1 -233%) Young Fire |
40/1(-233%) | (4) Young Fire 40/1, Second win of the campaign at York in September. 16/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good) 24 days ago. 13th win when landing amateur riders' event at York last month but below par twice since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (10/1 +0%) Monteria |
10/1(+0%) | (9) Monteria 10/1, Good second of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 17/2) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Cheekpieces back on. Can make presence felt from the same mark. Soft-ground winner and back to form in mud this autumn, second at Nottingham latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (14/1 -17%) Poet's Dawn |
14/1(-17%) | (8) Poet's Dawn 14/1, Latest win at Carlisle in August. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy, 17/2) 18 days ago. Back up in trip and likely to give his running again. Held both starts since Carlisle win on soft in August but yard in fine form at present. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (50/1 -100%) Mandarb |
50/1(-100%) | (7) Mandarb 50/1, 35/10, won 9-runner claimer at Deauville (12.4f) 83 days ago. First run for yard after leaving S. Wattel and balance of his French form suggests his mark is on the high side. Dual winner in France, including on heavy; betting should guide on British debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (16/1 +27%) Shifter |
16/1(+27%) | (12) Shifter 16/1, Latest win at Redcar in May. 17/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 62 days ago, nearest finish. Eased further 2 lb so she's not without interest. Won back to back in May (including on soft) but mixed record since; off two months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (1) (12/1 -85%) Roxanne |
12/1(-85%) | (1) Roxanne 12/1, Triple winner in Germany in 2023. Unable to add to tally in the UK but ran right up to form when second of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 38 days ago, running on. Soft-ground winner in Germany; back-to-form second at Yarmouth latest; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (22/1 -57%) Miaswell |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Miaswell 22/1, Cemented excellent start to life in handicaps when doubling tally at Haydock in July. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 10/1) 37 days ago and more needed to defy current mark. Both wins on soft but yet to conclusively prove he stays 1m2f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (33/1 -50%) This Years Love |
33/1(-50%) | (15) This Years Love 33/1, Three wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Beverley in August. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 35 days ago, proving too free. Must settle better upped in trip with cheekpieces removed. All wins at Beverley on good to firm; below par in previous outings on softer than good. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Croeso Cymraeg relished the return to Leicester when landing the spoils in an apprentice handicap 10 days ago. The veteran must enter calculations racing off an unchanged mark, but AZAHARA PALACE makes slightly more appeal on her second attempt over today's 1m2f distance. Hughie Morrison's filly arrives on the back of a solid third in a class 4 event at Newbury and this drop into class 5 company could prove just the tonic. Roxanne and Skinny Malinka are also worth a second look.
CROESO CYMRAEG is firmly into the veteran stage of his career but he took advantage of a drop in the weights at Leicester 10 days ago and given he escapes a penalty for that apprentice win, his follow-up claims appear to be bright. Azahara Palace is unexposed over this trip so enters the reckoning, along with Monteria.
The form of AZAHARA PALACE's latest Newbury third is very solid and he's preferred to recent Leicester scorer Croeso Cymraeg.

Sayifyouwill |
(3) (2/3 +67%)2/3(+67%) | (3) Sayifyouwill 2/3, Successful on final start for Amanda Perrett in August. 10/1, turned in best effort of the season when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, suited by way race developed. The one to beat. 7f specialist that is 7-25 on AW and creditable yard debut over C&D last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (5) (17/2 +29%) Pascalia |
17/2(+29%) | (5) Pascalia 17/2, C&D winner. Ran one of this season's lesser races when tenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 4/1) 52 days ago. Sole win came over C&D; disappointing fav latest and up against it on these terms. |

2nd (1) (16/1 -129%) Catherine Chroi |
16/1(-129%) | (1) Catherine Chroi 16/1, C&D winner. 6 wins from 16 runs this year. 18/1, bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 22 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Iain Jardine. Leading player. Four-timer earlier in the term and has run well in defeat last twice; C&D winner. |

3rd (11) (14/1 -75%) Tiffany Twisted |
14/1(-75%) | (11) Tiffany Twisted 14/1, 12/1, never landed a blow when sixth of 12 in maiden at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Looks limited on early evidence. 2 creditable runs in maidens since debut; unsuited by slow tempo latest; drawn widest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (8/1 +0%) Galician Girl |
8/1(+0%) | (13) Galician Girl 8/1, Course winner. Fared no better under a change of tactics when ninth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at Thurles (8.2f, good) 15 days ago. Each-way claims down in grade. Career best came here over 1m but now 1-15 and out of form in recent times; drops to 7f. |

6/1(-33%) | (2) Alabama Calling 6/1, 6/1, below form when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Cork (8f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Must bounce back. Below form latest and all best form is at 1m with cut in the ground; vulnerable. |

11th (12) (14/1 -17%) Chica Power |
14/1(-17%) | (12) Chica Power 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 10/1, ran better than for a while when fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago.

Makes all-weather debut. 6f winner on debut; lost her way of late inc' yard debut latest; AW bow; needs career best. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SAYIFYOUWILL might be able to get Stephen Thorne off the mark. Successful nine times in the UK, the six-year-old ran a cracker on her debut for current connections over the course and distance last week, finishing third in a much stronger contest. In here for €15,000, she is the highest rated runner in the line-up. On ratings, Catherine Chroi and Alabama Calling are the dangers. Both are in for €20,000, with the latter returning to Claire O'Connell after a successful stint with Ian Jardine. Tiffany Twisted (€10,000) came in for strong market support on her penultimate start at Fairyhouse, and she is of definite interest in a contest of this quality. With four course wins to her name, Chica Power (€7,000) is another for the shortlist.
Having been successful on her final start for Amanda Perrett in August, SAYIFYOUWILL turned in her best effort of the season when third over C&D last week and a repeat effort should be sufficient to resume winning ways dropped into claiming company. Catherine Chroi enjoyed a fruitful time with Iain Jardine in the spring, so she heads up the dangers back with her former stable, with Endless Pursuit and Galician Girl another couple worthy of consideration, too.
This looks like a good opportunity for SAYIFYOUWILL to gain another AW win after an encouraging yard debut over C&D last week

1st (5) (66/1 -32%) Eazy On The Eye |
66/1(-32%) | (5) Eazy On The Eye 66/1, Offered little in pair of maiden/novice events on turf in recent months. Passed over upped in trip. Moderate form in two starts, beating a total of one rival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (11/8 +61%) Saliko |
11/8(+61%) | (7) Saliko 11/8, Kameko filly who has shaped well both starts to date, not seen to best effect when sixth of 10 in maiden at Bath (8f, good, 17/2) 41 days ago, not clear run final 1f and finishing with running left. Remains with potential. Unlucky at Bath (1m, good) latest; no surprise to see her seriously involved.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3/1 -20%) Tralee Girl |
3/1(-20%) | (8) Tralee Girl 3/1, Camelot filly who showed plenty of ability amidst greenness when second of 9 in maiden at this C&D on debut 28 days ago, outpaced over 2f out and keeping on. Looks sure to improve, particularly when tackling longer trips. Second to an improver on debut; a serious player with that experience under her belt.. |

4th (6) (33/1 -136%) Princess Qajar |
33/1(-136%) | (6) Princess Qajar 33/1, Foaled March 3. 12,000 gns yearling, Persian King filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 1m winner Desert Haze and winner up to 8.6f Quick Change. Dam, French 9f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1m Occupandiste. Half-sister to four winners, including two AW 2yos; interesting newcomer. |

Worth noting if the market spoke in her favour on debut. Dam unraced half-sister to two winners over 1m-1m2f; check market on debut.. |

6th (2) (80/1 -142%) Doumo |

7th (1) (50/1 -127%) About Last Night |
50/1(-127%) | (1) About Last Night 50/1, €25,000 yearling, Wooded filly. Could hardly have shown any less when last of 11 in maiden (33/1) at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) on debut 71 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip. Hooded for 1st time. 33-1 when slowly away and last of 11 on debut at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in August.. |

8th (9) (8/1 -140%) Wondrous Light |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (10/3 +39%) Neoma |
10/3(+39%) | (3) Neoma 10/3, Fair form when runner-up on first 2 starts in August and clearly not 100% when fifth of 6 in novice at Chelmsford City (8f) 22 days ago, weakening and eased. Not one to write off. Has shown ability but raced too freely latest; a player if settling better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
TRALEE GIRL was relatively well found in the market when filling the runner-up spot over C&D on her debut. This isn't the strongest of contests, so natural improvement could see Michael Bell's filly go in at the second time of asking. Saliko, third on her racecourse bow before finding trouble at Bath next time, holds strong claims from a low draw, while Wondrous Light appeals most of the remainder.
TRALEE GIRL showed plenty of ability amidst greenness when runner-up in a C&D maiden 4 weeks ago and she gets the narrow vote to build on that now. Saliko and Wondrous Light are others open to improvement, with Neoma fancied to put a below-par effort at Chelmsford 22 days ago behind her.
A few with potential but if NEOMA can get some cover to help her settle she could build on the promise of her first two starts.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
An ultra competitive affair, with MARBLE ANGEL the suggestion. A beaten favourite when bidding for a hat-trick here last month, she was carried wide into the straight and weakened thereafter. Given a short break since, she might be able to bounce back now. Skontonovski is in the form of his life at present and warrants the utmost respect as a six-time course winner. Ateenosix had no luck in running when ninth over the course and distance last week and he is of definite interest, while others for the shortlist are Shoot To Kill, Mullacash Buzz and Cross Border, with the latter starting off for Gavin Cromwell and the In Bounds Syndicate.
MULLACASH BUZZ is a better performer on the AW than turf so the return to this venue may well prompt an improved showing from this handy mark. Skontonovski and Marble Angel head the opposition.
MULLACASH BUZZ gave it a good go from the front on turf last month and should relish a return to AW with a good draw

4th (6) (15/2 -36%) Commander Of Life |
15/2(-36%) | (6) Commander Of Life 15/2, 11/2, first run since leaving Marco Botti when good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 10 days ago, no match for winner. Not taken lightly. Beat all bar the favourite latest; a reproduction of that effort would see him involved.. |

7th (8) (5/1 -50%) Wide Margin |
5/1(-50%) | (8) Wide Margin 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fourth of 9 in maiden (13/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago. Likely to do better still switched to handicaps/upped in trip. Initial mark stiff but longer trip may help him find improvement now entering handicaps.. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Twice a winner over 7f, the step up in trip looks certain to unlock further progress within STATE FLAG, who grabbed third close home at Kempton earlier this month. Tom Ward's filly still appears to be on a workable mark and she could take advantage against some out-of-form rivals. That said, Commander Of Life finished second to a handicap blot at Newcastle last week and must enter calculations from an unchanged rating. Wide Margin is another to consider.
WIDE MARGIN returned from an absence with a more encouraging performance last time and this longer trip is likely to bring more out of him, so he's fancied to make a winning handicap debut for shrewd connections. State Flag is an obvious player having her first go on tapeta, while Commander of Life is unlikely to be far away.
The vote goes to STATE FLAG who stays 7f well and whose pedigree suggests this step up in trip may prove beneficial.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
While he has a wide draw to overcome, SENADO SQUARE has a good record at Dundalk and with Cian Horgan claiming a valuable 7lb, he can be expected to go close. Adrian McGuinness saddles two leading hopes, with Adam Caffrey aboard I'm Spartacus. A winner over this C&D last month, he is sure to have plenty of supporters in his bid to follow up. Hezahunk is the other McGuinness representative and he is also likely to be prominent in the betting, after finishing just a neck behind the selection when third on his most recent start. Fairyhouse winner Blanc De Noir, the Kevin Coleman-trained Devil's Angel and the lowly-rated Eriskay are others for the shortlist.
Lots with chances but JAZZY DANCER is fancied to build on his recent Fairyhouse 12th after a lay-off and capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Fellow C&D scorer Hezahunk heads the list of dangers, with Fairyhouse-winner Blanc de Noir and I'm Spartacus also firmly in the picture. Senado Square completes the shortlist.
A high draw isn't the disadvantage it was so recent Fairyhouse winner BLANC DE NOIR is taken to defy top-weight from stall 14

7th (4) (6/1 +14%) Pons Aelius |
6/1(+14%) | (4) Pons Aelius 6/1, Course winner. Latest win at Beverley in August. 7/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (16f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Respected. Generally running respectably since successful at Beverley in August but looks vulnerable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Back on the Flat last time out following a brief spell over hurdles, ADDOSH was able to record a comfortable C&D triumph. James Owen's mare must carry a 5lb penalty today but that may not be enough to stop her if she arrives in a similar vein of form. Pons Aelius was touched off by a progressive rival at Musselburgh recently and he looks the main threat. Moel Arthur, a largely consistent type on the all-weather, could also go well off top-weight.
ADDOSH is unexposed for this stable and she cruised into it before readily putting the race to bed over C&D last time, so she's a confident choice to follow up. Love Safari is a danger with this belated step up in trip likely to suit, while Green Team should give his running again.
There looked to be more left in the tank when ADDOSH won over C&D last week and she is taken to defy a penalty.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Darragh O'Sullivan and Fozzy Stack successfully combined at Navan on Wednesday, and they might strike here with ISLAND GIRL. Progressing with each run, the Starspangledbanner chestnut has a wide draw to overcome, but will be aided by the 7lb claim of her promising rider. While she failed to make an impact in the Birdcatcher, Moonhall Lass is the only runner with course form and she should appreciate this drop in class. Placed three times from four starts, Bobbi Rosa certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn, while it'll be interesting to see how Improve Your Move fares. Fourth in a Listed contest at Vichy in May, she could potentially be well treated off an initial mark of 77. Skillman Ave warrants respect in first-time blinkers, while Fairhaven and Weegeebear are others of note.
There should be more to come from ISLAND GIRL in nurseries so she gets the nod for Fozzy Stack. Moonhall Lass can probably be forgiven her run in the premier nursery at Naas last time and her second at Down Royal prior to that gives her a good shout. Bobbi Rosa may prove best of the rest.
The stiff 6f was too much of a test last time for MOONHALL LASS but her earlier Down Royal second over this trip gives her a big shout

SCARBOROUGHWARNING dug deep when opening her account in a novice event at Catterick last month and another bold bid is forecast reverting to handicap company. The daughter of Harry Angel will have no issue returning to Tapeta and she is preferred to Bint Havana Gold, who won on her only previous start over this C&D. You can throw Four Adaay into the mix as well.
SCARBOROUGHWARNING opened her account comfortably in a novice at Catterick 45 days ago and she has few miles on the clock, so she may can get the better of Bint Havana Gold and Moe's Legacy, who have been holding their form well.
An open-looking renewal but preference is for BINT HAVANA GOLD who is back below her winning mark over C&D in March.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A competitive renewal of this Group 3 contest, with ALBASHEER one of five UK raiders in the line-up. Already successful three times this season, the Archie Watson-trained chestnut is a battle-hardened six-year-old. He lost a shoe when down the field at Newbury on his most recent start and it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end here. Representing David O'Meara, Star Of Lady M is the one to beat on ratings. In the form of her life at present, she has won three of her last four, making all on her most recent start in a Listed contest at Ayr. First and third in the Legacy Stakes, Lady With The Lamp and Powerful Nation lead the home brigade, with the former taken to reverse the form. Despite failing to make an impact on his return at the Curragh, His Majesty warrants the utmost respect, while James Tate's Electric Storm is another leading hope.
ALBASHEER may have been unsuited by conditions at Newbury last time and he'd been in top form prior to that, so he gets the marginal vote over the likeable Star of Lady M. 2yo Powerful Nation is an interesting contender with more on the card.
A particularly strong British challenge with STAR OF LADY M looking the one to beat on her recent Ayr win

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Having found only a last-time-out winner too strong over C&D in August, compensation could be heading in DILLYDINGDILLYDONG's direction. A 2lb higher mark looks more than fair for James Owen's gelding and a third career victory may be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Sassy Glory, who arrives on the back of two creditable runs in defeat at this venue and Thirsk. Kojin and Keen Interest are also noted on their recent form.
DILLYDINGDILLYDONG has generally been on the up for his current stable and travelled like he's still ahead of his mark when second over C&D last time, so he's the one to be with back from a break. Sassy Glory and Keen Interest look the most serious threats.
This looks open but it might provide the right opportunity for KEEN INTEREST to improve his strike-rate.

This looks a good opportunity for DAKOTA BLUE. A 300,000-euro purchase at the Arqana Breeze Up Sale, he was fourth when last seen in a much hotter contest at the Curragh, with both the first and third subsequently scoring in Group 3 company. Nyman was six and a half lengths behind the selection at the Co Kildare venue and he gave the form a further boost when successful here last Friday. A fine second on debut, Glenderry is an obvious danger. Already gelded, he is entitled to step forward from that initial effort. A close fourth on his first start at the Curragh, Some Performance looks capable of making an impact, while others for the shortlist are Daler, Quiz Question, Heldtoransom and Transfuse.
DAKOTA BLUE's fourth on Irish Oaks Day is looking very good form, with a couple of Aidan O'Brien's top prospects for 2025 having been among the principals, and he can make a successful return. Some Performance, Glenderry and Daler are all promising and need considering also in what looks a good maiden.
There was plenty to like about SOME PERFORMANCE's debut when a length behind Expanded and he should improve stepping up in trip

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The progressive Newfangled must enter calculations after proving triumphant at Lingfield and this venue last month. A hat-trick would come as no surprise from the three-year-old, but it could be worth taking a punt on stable debutant KHANGAI. The James Owen-trained charge arrives here on a career-low mark and he looks potentially well treated on the pick of his form. Dual C&D winner Crafter is also of interest on his return to action.
KHANGAI has dropped to a winning mark and is worth a chance to make a winning start for his new stable. Harbour Vision (engaged here Friday) and Newfangled fought out the finish here last time and are likely to be involved again.
There are several here with a chance but in-form 3yo NEWFANGLED (nap) is the most progressive. Bay Of Australia is the main danger.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Out of 2013 Irish St Leger winner Voleuse De Coeurs, OZARK DAZE might finally get his turn. Placed on recent starts over this C&D, the Andy Oliver-trained bay was second when last seen, finishing a place ahead of subsequent winner Natural Ruler. The only filly among the 14 set to take part, Pearl Jewel is of definite interest. She beat the selection and the reopposing Raydamann when second over C&D on her penultimate start, before finishing fifth in a competitive handicap. The aforementioned Raydamann warrants respect in a first-time hood, while Sligo runner-up Man Of Worth, the consistent Coul Dreamer and debutant Persian Bliss are others for the shortlist.
OZARK DAZE posted another good effort here last time and can finally open his account. Raydamann is a firm player, while the superbly-bred Hallowed would obviously demand respect if getting a run.
Pearl Jewel had OZARK DAZE in behind when 2nd last month but Ozark Daze wasn't seen to best effect and he's run well over C&D since
