14
14/1(-75%)

11
11/1(-38%)
(10) Creative Control 11/1, Dual winner over hurdles over this sort of trip last season, including here. Has a pointing background but turned in a rather lacklustre display sent chasing at Sedgefield on return.
6
6th (6) (11/1 -69%) Kakamora
11
11/1(-69%)
(6) Kakamora 11/1, Back-to-back hurdles winner but mostly didn't really threaten to add to tally over fences last season, albeit still in contention when falling heavily 3 out at Ludlow final start. Down in the weights at least.

12
12/1(+14%)
(11) Good Work 12/1, On good mark given his form in France but was below par for new stable at Worcester a year ago. Not seen since but yard in better form now.

12
12/1(+0%)
(5) Longshanks 12/1, Got off the mark over fences with a career best in 9-runner handicap at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) in March. Disappointed on better ground at Ffos Las following month and any rain would probably increase his chance.

13:10 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Makin'yourmindup 5.5/1, Placed in an Irish point and while he did finish second on hurdles debut in March, it was a remote one. Should be capable of better given yard he represents.

2.75
2.75/1(-22%)

8.5/1(-183%)
(5) Leading Choice 8.5/1, Out of a bumper winner and followed suit at the first time of asking at Ffos Las a year ago. Good fifth in listed company at Cheltenham a month later and though off since, he's a nice hurdles prospect.

(13) Tightenourbelts 4.5/1, £75,000 5-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Dares To Dream. Third sole start in Irish points (Dec 2021).

50
50/1(-52%)

150/1(-50%)
(1) Ardenay 150/1, Well held in 2 Exeter bumpers and fell on hurdles debut in April.

(7) Tephi 1.62/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Third of 4 in novice event at Haydock (6f, heavy, 9/4) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has to be taken seriously.

LTO Selection:
13:35 Catterick Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(5) Kepy Blanc 2.25/1, Regressive over hurdles but has taken well to fences, chasing home Chess Player on debut in this sphere at Worcester in July and improved again when bolting up over this C&D last month. 11 lb higher now but he could have more to offer as a chaser.
7
(7) (2.5/1 +58%) Obey The Rules
2.5
2.5/1(+58%)
(7) Obey The Rules 2.5/1, Bagged a third success over fences in 17.2f Market Rasen handicap in August. Placed on each of his 3 subsequent starts and will surely make his presence felt if reponding well to the first-time blinkers.
1
(1) (6/1 +25%) Heart Of A Lion
6
6/1(+25%)
(1) Heart Of A Lion 6/1, Off the mark over fences at first attempt in 2m Ludlow novice handicap last November. However, it would be something of an understatement to say that he's failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts in this sphere.
3
(3) (8/1 -23%) Chess Player
8
8/1(-23%)
(3) Chess Player 8/1, Showed improved form when scoring on chase debut at Worcester in July, proving 3¼ lengths too strong for the re-opposing Kepy Blanc. Not in the same form both starts since but possibilities if he bring his 'A-game' with cheekpieces refitted.
2
(2) (11/1 -57%) Imperial Hope
11
11/1(-57%)
(2) Imperial Hope 11/1, Point/bumper who bettered previous hurdles efforts when fifth in a first-time hood at Doncaster in January (first run following a wind op). Entirely possible that he'll be seen in a better light now switched to fences, so he needs a second look.
6
(6) (11/1 -38%) Master Malcolm
11
11/1(-38%)
(6) Master Malcolm 11/1, Failed to get his head in front in bumpers/over hurdles but raised his game when landing back-to-back 2¼m Fontwell handicap chases last season. Up total of 10 lb and another jolt of improvement will be needed if he's to complete the hat-trick.
9
(9) (14/1 +50%) Follow Your Fire
14
14/1(+50%)
(9) Follow Your Fire 14/1, Hexham success in May was gained off a 2 lb higher mark but he's been merely going through the motions since and others look stronger.
10
(10) (28/1 -180%) Silken Moonlight
28
28/1(-180%)
(10) Silken Moonlight 28/1, Enjoyed a productive 2021, scoring over hurdles at Carlisle in March that year and recorded a quick double in this sphere during the summer. 4 lb rise for latest success fair enough but likely she'll need the run following 15 months off.
8
(8) (40/1 -82%) Big Bee Hive
40
40/1(-82%)
(8) Big Bee Hive 40/1, Left previous form well behind when landing a 16-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (2m, soft) on final start for previous connections in March. 10 lb higher starting out over fences for new yard and probably worth taking on.
4
(4) (100/1 -25%) Sir Egbert
100
100/1(-25%)
(4) Sir Egbert 100/1, Useful chaser in his prime but lost his way for Tom Lacey and there were no signs of an imminent revival starting out for new yard at Ffos Las recently.
LTO Selection:
13:45 Bangor Handicap Chase (Class 5)
17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(3) Manothepeople 2.5/1, Showed signs of ability in a couple of maiden hurdles last season prior to landing handicaps at Huntingdon and Doncaster (both at around 3m). Stamina is clearly his strong suit, and this former point winner appeals as the type to do better still now switched to fences.
1
(1) (2.5/1 +17%) Farouk De Cheneau
2.5
2.5/1(+17%)
(1) Farouk De Cheneau 2.5/1, Proved he retains plenty of his ability since returning from a long absence this summer, and decent enough start over fences when runner-up at Bangor and Southwell. Has to be taken seriously.
5
(5) (4.5/1 +0%) Aeronisi
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(5) Aeronisi 4.5/1, Modest over hurdles for Tim Vaughan but much improved when making a winning chase bow at Fontwell for this yard in March, beating a subsequent winner. Open to further improvement.
2
(2) (5.5/1 +8%) The Macon Lugnatic
5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(2) The Macon Lugnatic 5.5/1, Laboured over fences last term and found the switch back to hurdling in his favour last 3 starts, so bit to prove returned to this sphere now.
4
(4) (5.5/1 +31%) Earth Business
5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(4) Earth Business 5.5/1, In first-time cheekpieces, confirmed previous promise when off the mark in handicap at Exeter (18.5f) in February. Ran well in novices next 2 starts since and should be better for recent reappearance. Bred to make a chaser.
6
(6) (22/1 -83%) Mr Washington
22
22/1(-83%)
(6) Mr Washington 22/1, Prolific in 2020/21 and returned in fine form last campaign with a win at Chepstow and a close second at Uttoxeter. Well held since, however, and failed to convince when tried in this sphere previously. Has since rejoined this yard from Tom Symonds.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Shesadabber 4.5/1, Latest win at Chepstow in September. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 13 days ago and likely to give it another good go from the front.
8
(8) (4.5/1 -13%) Zoom Star
4.5
4.5/1(-13%)
(8) Zoom Star 4.5/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Southwell (5f) 21 days ago. Very fresh for this time of year and capable of bouncing back.

4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(3) Hot Scoop 4.5/1, C&D winner. 6/1, sixth of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) 13 days ago, never nearer. and he's by no means handicapped out of this.
5
(5) (5/1 +0%) Prayer Matt
5
5/1(+0%)
(5) Prayer Matt 5/1, 9/2, unlucky not to finish even closer ¾-length third of 13 to The Gloaming in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 15 days ago, shuffled back. Big player if building on that.

9
9/1(-13%)
(9) The Gloaming 9/1, 6/1, won 13-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 15 days ago by ½ length from Stroxx. All previous wins at that track and isn't an obvious follow-up contender on profile.
12
(12) (10/1 -43%) Stroxx
10
10/1(-43%)
(12) Stroxx 10/1, Remains a maiden after 31 Flat runs. 9/1, good ½-length second of 13 to The Gloaming in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 15 days ago.

14
14/1(-40%)
(2) Golden Gal 14/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win here in August. 14/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 27 days ago, having hopeless task from position so that run can be excused.
6
(6) (18/1 +18%) Quanah
18
18/1(+18%)
(6) Quanah 18/1, 50/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago.

14:10 Catterick Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
(2) Methodtothemadness 2.5/1, Underwent another breathing operation and cashed in on a handy mark on return from 6 months off over C&D in September. That race did rather fall apart and she's up 7 lb.
8
(8) (3.33/1 +5%) Diegos Way
3.33
3.33/1(+5%)
(8) Diegos Way 3.33/1, Winning pointer who has reacted well to cheekpieces in recent weeks, hitting the frame in a brace of Irish handicaps. Looks interesting at the foot at the weights on British debut.
6

4.5
4.5/1(+31%)
(6) Great D'Ange 4.5/1, Winner at Warwick in April and still in front going well when fell heavily 4 out in handicap chase there (25.4f) a month later, Jumped much better when runner-up at Worcester last time.
4
(4) (5.5/1 -38%) Kayf Hernando
5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(4) Kayf Hernando 5.5/1, Showed good attitude to win on Carlisle hurdles debut last October. Disappointing that he's been unable to match that since, but now has attentions turned to chasing (ex-pointer) fresh from 7 months off which makes him of interest.
5
(5) (6/1 -100%) Hidden Commander
6
6/1(-100%)
(5) Hidden Commander 6/1, Has made an excellent start over fences, scoring for third time in 4 starts in 23.4f Kelso novices' handicap when in May, making all in a first-time tongue tie. Shaped better than result on return to action at Sedgefield and remains of interest.
3
(3) (8/1 +27%) Animal
8
8/1(+27%)
(3) Animal 8/1, Off the mark over fences (21.2f) in handicap at Fakenham on New Year's Day and creditable third from 7 lb higher mark at Market Rasen (23.9f) the following month. Respected on return to action.

66
66/1(-32%)

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Rose Of Arcadia 0.83/1, Fairly useful hurdle winner. Easy winner of a couple of points under Freddie Gingell in the spring and she looks on a good mark back under Rules.

4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(3) Mind Sunday 4.5/1, Newbury bumper winner and promising second to Shirocco's Dream on hurdle bow at Exeter last November. Left Nicky Henderson after 2 lacklustre runs later in the season but could easily bounce back now handicapping for new stable. All the more interesting if backed.
1
(1) (6/1 -20%) Gentle Connections
6
6/1(-20%)
(1) Gentle Connections 6/1, Won 4 maiden/novice events between April and June. Not up to the Persian War here 18 days ago but may resume her progression now handicapping over a longer trip.

(7) Astra Via 10/1, Won a 2m handicap hurdle here last October and also scored over fences at Leicester (2½m) in March. Respectable third in a Ffos Las chase 16 days ago. Stamina to prove back hurdling.

16
16/1(-60%)
(6) Makety 16/1, Former point winner who won a Worcester handicap chase last autumn. Has failed to build on that since and it remains to be seen if a return to hurdling sparks a revival.

10/1(+0%)
(4) The Nu Form Way 10/1, Latest win at Chester in July. 5/1, 14 lengths tenth of 14 to Furzig in handicap at this C&D (soft) 10 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Keep Running 1.5/1, Had some fair form in France in autumn 2021 and comfortably made a winning debut for this yard in maiden hurdle over C&D last month. Needs considering under a penalty.

1.75
1.75/1(+7%)
(13) Sergeant Wilson 1.75/1, €22,000 Soldier of Fortune half-brother to fair hurdler Stucker Hill and bumper winner/fair hurdler Decision Time. Dam 7f winner. Looked an exciting prospect when winning 10-runner bumper (11/1) at Taunton (16.5f, heavy) on NH debut, responding well. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut.
6
(6) (8/1 -7%) King Ottokar
8
8/1(-7%)
(6) King Ottokar 8/1, Useful Flat performer for Charlie Fellowes. Well short of that level both starts over hurdles for this yard but return fourth in maiden at Worcester just about sets the standard.
2
(2) (8/1 -7%) Basford
8
8/1(-7%)
(2) Basford 8/1, Out of a bumper winner and followed suit with a cosy success on debut at Carlisle. Creditable third at Wincanton next time before found out in better company at Newbury/Aintree. This level more suitable now hurdling on return.
14
(14) (10/1 +17%) Trick Of The Tail
10
10/1(+17%)
(14) Trick Of The Tail 10/1, Half-brother to 7 winners, including smart hurdler/top-class chaser Dodging Bullets. Fair form in bumpers both starts in bumpers. Makes hurdles debut.

40
40/1(-150%)
(11) Iron D'Ex 40/1, £60,000 purchase after finishing third in an Irish point in May and showed plenty to work on when 15 lengths third of 10 to Keep Running in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) on NH debut 27 days ago. Should have more to offer.

LTO Selection:
14:55 Bangor Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(5) Keplerian 2.25/1, Didn't achieve that much in a handful of starts for Nick Williams last season but he has a useful pedigree and rates a potential improver for new trainer Fergal O'Brien. Market support would look significant.
8
(8) (5.5/1 +27%) Walkinthewoods
5.5
5.5/1(+27%)
(8) Walkinthewoods 5.5/1, Switch to handicap company prompted immediate improvement when runner-up at Ffos Las (2m) in February. Another good effort when fourth over 19.5f here in April. Back down in trip on return to action. Claims if ready to roll.
10
(10) (5.5/1 +31%) Karakoram
5.5
5.5/1(+31%)
(10) Karakoram 5.5/1, Largely consistent prior to regaining winning thread over C&D in March. Made a sound return to action when fourth of 11 at Warwick last month and likely to play a part returned to a venue which clearly suits.
12
(12) (6/1 +40%) Canal Rocks
6
6/1(+40%)
(12) Canal Rocks 6/1, Fair Flat performer back in the day. No better than modest over hurdles but he did manage to win from a basement mark at Worcester in June. Respectable fifth of 11 at Warwick 19 days ago. Ought to be competitive.
15
(15) (6/1 +8%) Sevenofus
6
6/1(+8%)
(15) Sevenofus 6/1, Point winner who has been placed in handicap hurdles around 2½m on her last 4 starts. Drops back in trip now with first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie.
2
(2) (12/1 -20%) No No Tonic
12
12/1(-20%)
(2) No No Tonic 12/1, Modest hurdler who landed a gamble in good style in the mud at Wincanton in March. Made a respectable return to action when third in a 2m Warwick novice last month and could be sharper with that behind her. One to consider.
6
(6) (14/1 +13%) Gavin
14
14/1(+13%)
(6) Gavin 14/1, Has shaped as if in good form when fifth in handicap hurdles at Newton Abbot and Stratford this autumn. On a workable mark but he could do with settling better in the early stages of his races.
7
(7) (20/1 +20%) Applesandpierres
20
20/1(+20%)
(7) Applesandpierres 20/1, Approaching his 15th birthday but showed he can make an impact from his reduced mark when placed at Cartmel and Newton Abbot in June. Each-way claims again.
9
(9) (25/1 -39%) Culture
25
25/1(-39%)
(9) Culture 25/1, Won on AW Flat at Kempton last month but well held back there 3 weeks ago. Showed some aptitude for hurdling in the summer but he was well beaten on his handicap debut in July.
14
(14) (28/1 -180%) Well Done Dani
28
28/1(-180%)
(14) Well Done Dani 28/1, First worthwhile form when 12 lengths third of 13 in 2m handicap at Worcester (good to soft) 19 days ago. Claims if she can build on that for a yard among the winners.
1
(1) (28/1 -155%) Captain Jack
28
28/1(-155%)
(1) Captain Jack 28/1, Encouraging return from long absence when second off this mark in February 2021 but failed to back it up in 2 subsequent starts and he's been off a further 13 months. Feasibly handicapped but watching brief has to be the percentage call.
4
(4) (28/1 +0%) Maillot Blanc
28
28/1(+0%)
(4) Maillot Blanc 28/1, Modest form in novice hurdles. More realistic chance now handicapping after a break but his mark isn't obviously generous.
3
(3) (66/1 -136%) Wise Glory
66
66/1(-136%)
(3) Wise Glory 66/1, Winless over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and has proved more miss than hit on the Flat for present stable. Also well beaten back hurdling at Ffos Las in June and others certainly arrive with more pressing claims.
11
(11) (80/1 -300%) Miss Curiosity
80
80/1(-300%)
(11) Miss Curiosity 80/1, Modest form at best in bumpers/maiden hurdles. More chance now handicapping but her opening mark demands improvement.

(16) (80/1 -21%) Gleneaglet
80
80/1(-21%)
(16) Gleneaglet 80/1, Fair at best on Flat but yet to achieve much over hurdles, including well held on Worcester handicap debut 19 days ago.

100
100/1(-25%)
(13) Numero Uno 100/1, Won at Taunton in April 2021 (sole start for Dr Richard Newland) but well beaten in 2 comeback runs for new stable this summer. Can only watch.

15:10 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Cold Stare 2/1, Losing run mounting up but now 10 lb below the mark off which he hit the target at Ayr 12 months ago. Has been shaping as if his turn is near (close fifth of 20 at Doncaster on Saturday) and could be the answer.
1
(1) (2.25/1 +40%) Wobwobwob
2.25
2.25/1(+40%)
(1) Wobwobwob 2.25/1, Bounced back to his best to take a 14-runner C&D handicap (soft) 10 days ago. Ought to remain competitive after a 5 lb rise but he's yet to win back to back in his career.
2
(2) (3.5/1 +13%) Yanifer
3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(2) Yanifer 3.5/1, Third success of a very productive first season with this yard when seeing off 18 rivals at York (7f, good to soft) under Oisin McSweeney 18 days ago. 6 lb higher now still likely to play a prominent role.
4
(4) (8.5/1 -31%) Danzan
8.5
8.5/1(-31%)
(4) Danzan 8.5/1, Won the Ayr Bronze Cup in September. Another good run when 2 lengths third of 14 to the reopposing Wobwobwob over C&D (soft) 10 days ago. Meets that rival on 4 lb better terms this time.
5
(5) (11/1 -69%) Paws For Thought
11
11/1(-69%)
(5) Paws For Thought 11/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021 but he has recorded some creditable efforts this term and this is a bit easier than Musselburgh Class 2 he contested last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time.
7
(7) (16/1 -60%) Queen's Sargent
16
16/1(-60%)
(7) Queen's Sargent 16/1, C&D winner. Not at the top of his game this year but his handicap mark reflects that and he wasn't seen to best effect when 5¾ lengths sixth of 14 to Wobwobwob over C&D (soft) 10 days ago. No surprise were he to go well.
3
(3) (22/1 -57%) Maywake
22
22/1(-57%)
(3) Maywake 22/1, Improved again to make a successful reappearance at York (7f) in May but disappointing in his 3 outings since, producing a laboured effort at Musselburgh 15 days ago. First-time visor needs to spark a revival.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Prince Des Fichaux 2/1, Runner-up in maiden/novice company on first 2 starts. Stamina not brought into play enough when third of 4 on handicap debut final start and remains a stayer with potential.

3.5
3.5/1(+46%)
(9) Lily Glitters 3.5/1, Went with zest when notching a second career success at Ludlow (23f) in April. Respectable third of 5 at Stratford the following month. Claims if ready to roll after a break.

(4) (5.5/1 +61%) Here Comes Henry
5.5
5.5/1(+61%)
(4) Here Comes Henry 5.5/1, Off the mark in Fakenham handicap on New Year's Day. Failed to reproduce that in 2 subsequent starts last season but returns as a lightly-raced sort.

(2) (8/1 -191%) Betterforeveryone
8
8/1(-191%)
(2) Betterforeveryone 8/1, Reached the frame in maiden hurdles at Wincanton and Warwick in the spring. Likely improver making a quick switch to handicaps on his return. Market support could prove significant.

8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(10) Robeam 8.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Southwell in May and has stood up pretty well to a busy campaign since, finishing third back at Southwell (3m) last month.

16
16/1(-14%)

16
16/1(+20%)
(8) The Blame Game 16/1, Both hurdle wins gained over 2½m at Sedgefield. Below par when last seen in the spring. Brian Hughes up on return but others are still preferred.

22
22/1(-144%)
(3) The Bold Thady 22/1, Beaten fair way sole bumper start,but hsa shown a fair level of ability in maiden/novice hurdles since, albeit finishing weakly last time. Handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Young Butler 1.62/1, Did well over hurdles last season winning twice and signing off with a close second in Exeter handicap. Half-brother to very smart chaser Put The Kettle On so looks an interesting chasing debutant.
7
(7) (3.33/1 +52%) Nothin To Ask
3.33
3.33/1(+52%)
(7) Nothin To Ask 3.33/1, Placed all 3 bumper starts and got off the mark with a bit up his sleeve on third outing over timber at Chepstow in December. Similar form when third both starts since. Makes chase debut (made frame in Irish points).

(3) (3.5/1 -27%) Cap Du Mathan
3.5
3.5/1(-27%)
(3) Cap Du Mathan 3.5/1, Low-mileage ex-French 7-y-o who improved further to make a winning handicap hurdle debut after 2 years off at Taunton (19f) in January. Easy to excuse next run and not taken lightly switched to chasing on return.
1
(1) (5.5/1 -22%) Fern Hill
5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(1) Fern Hill 5.5/1, Won twice over hurdles and found just one too good on 3 of 4 starts since switched to fences last term. Respected.
6
(6) (12/1 -33%) Margaret's Legacy
12
12/1(-33%)
(6) Margaret's Legacy 12/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles/fences in France and opening mark looks a fair one ahead of yard debut.
2
(2) (14/1 -75%) Stepney Causeway
14
14/1(-75%)
(2) Stepney Causeway 14/1, Second-season novice who reached a useful level without winning last term, following home Edwardstone on chase debut and falling with race at his mercy at Southwell in April. Respectable third at Uttoxeter on return but jumping/weak finishing both remain concerns.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(10) Cold Henry 1.25/1, Different propostion when stepped up to 2m here last month, getting up close home to deny Oh So Chic (Cloudy Rose 4 lengths back in third). Did well to prevail after meeting trouble in running and is totally unexposed as a stayer. Leading claims.

2.75
2.75/1(-10%)
(5) Oh So Chic 2.75/1, Winner at Carlisle in August and good second on both starts since, latterly going down by ½ length to the reopposing Cold Henry over C&D (good to soft). No reason why she won't go well again.

9
9/1(+36%)
(8) Cloudy Rose 9/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Creditable 4½ lengths third of 11 to Cold Henry (Oh So Chic second) in C&D handicap (good to soft) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

10/1(+55%)
(9) Kiss My Face 10/1, Modest hurdler, including a well-held fifth on Sedgefield reappearance 20 days ago. No impact on the Flat last summer, including a handicap. Others are more obvious.
6
(6) (12/1 +25%) Harry The Norseman
12
12/1(+25%)
(6) Harry The Norseman 12/1, Winner at Bath in May. Second at Yarmouth the following month but bombed out at Southwell in July and ran no more than respectably back hurdling at Uttoxeter this month.

14
14/1(-17%)
(2) Kaylen's Mischief 14/1, Made it 3 wins in 5 starts for this yard when taking a Pontefract handicap in June 2020 but not seen again until pulled up in a Bangor maiden hurdle in January. Off a further 9 months. Capable fresh but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

14
14/1(-250%)

25
25/1(-14%)
(7) Kopa Kilana 25/1, Bumper winner. No impact in 3 novice events on the Flat but could fare better now handicapping over a much longer trip after 6 months off. One to keep an eye on in the betting.

28
28/1(-40%)
(12) Mister Charlie 28/1, Poor form. Eighth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (12.5f) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others preferred.

12/1(-243%)
(1) Herewegohoney 12/1, Won a pair of novices around this trip in the spring. Could have more to come in handicaps for her good stable. Big player.

20
20/1(-11%)
(9) Maid On The Moon 20/1, No worse for her lateTaunton fall when getting off the mark at Huntingdon in March. Well below form when distant third to Herewegohoney in Chepstow novice in April. Off 6 months ahead of handicap debut.
LTO Selection:
16:05 Bangor Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Buttsbury Lady 3.2/1, Bumper winner on debut at Uttoxeter in 2020 and shaped well when fourth in a handicap hurdle there (2½m, good) back from a lengthy absence last month. 1 lb lower now and will be a threat if jumping with greater fluency this time.
10
(10) (4.5/1 +10%) Olympic Honour
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(10) Olympic Honour 4.5/1, Now 1 lb lower than for this latest success in this sphere and performed with credit in handicap hurdles at Worcester and Fakenham in May. Has made the frame both starts on the Flat since and entitled to have a say in the finish.
14
(14) (5/1 +72%) Born In Borris
5
5/1(+72%)
(14) Born In Borris 5/1, On a good mark judged on best of her novice form but last season was a washout and she now has plenty to prove.
9
(9) (6.5/1 +54%) Shutupshirley
6.5
6.5/1(+54%)
(9) Shutupshirley 6.5/1, Surpassed juvenile form when finding only one too strong on handicap debut at Taunton in March 2021. Best to excuse effort over this C&D on sole appearance last season and worth a second look, for all that an 11-month absence is a concern.
6
(6) (7.5/1 +38%) Sermando
7.5
7.5/1(+38%)
(6) Sermando 7.5/1, Impressed when opening hurdles account at Huntingdon in January 2020. Largely struggled since and inauspicious start over fences when last seen in June but dangerous to write off given that he's slipped to a very attractive mark.
11
(11) (12/1 +33%) Teddy The Knight
12
12/1(+33%)
(11) Teddy The Knight 12/1, Modest in bumpers and while there have been positives to glean from efforts in maiden company, improvement was not forthcoming when making his handicap debut over this C&D when last seen in April.
12
(12) (12/1 +64%) Steady Away
12
12/1(+64%)
(12) Steady Away 12/1, Remains a maiden following 17 attempts in this sphere and he offered little on debut for this yard at Worcester in July.
7
(7) (16/1 -14%) Of Corse I Can
16
16/1(-14%)
(7) Of Corse I Can 16/1, Runner-up in a point and promising start over hurdles when second of 6 in novice at Ffos Las in June. Well held both starts since and entirely possible that he'll be seen in a better light now pitched into a handicap.
4
(4) (18/1 -140%) Sarsen
18
18/1(-140%)
(4) Sarsen 18/1, Positive enough start over hurdles when second in 6-runner maiden at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) in June but failed to build on that upped to 20.2f at Perth later that month. In good hands but needs to take a big step forward now handicapping.
8
(8) (20/1 -43%) Phoenix Risen
20
20/1(-43%)
(8) Phoenix Risen 20/1, Hans't cut a great deal of ice in a trio of start over hurdles and while he's another who could do better now making the switch to handicaps, there are several here with more compelling claims.
16
(16) (25/1 +38%) Optimistic Belief
25
25/1(+38%)
(16) Optimistic Belief 25/1, Fair winner on the Flat in Ireland but will need to leave previous hurdles efforts well behind now going down the handicap path in this sphere if he's to have a chance here.
17
(17) (33/1 -106%) Prince Cleni
33
33/1(-106%)
(17) Prince Cleni 33/1, Offered something to work on when fifth in a Ludlow bumper on debut in April. However, didn't achieve much in a trio of maiden hurdles this summer and needs to raise his game now handicapping.
13
(13) (33/1 -65%) Lord Bill
33
33/1(-65%)
(13) Lord Bill 33/1, Edged out a decent type in Hermes Boy for second when chasing home easy winner Tarahumara in a 2m novice here April. Would have a serious chance if reproducing that form on this handicap debut but he failed to fire on final start of last season (undergone a wind op in the interim).
18
(18) (40/1 -122%) Pixie Loc
40
40/1(-122%)
(18) Pixie Loc 40/1, Landed a 4-runner Fontwell bumper on debut last September but well beaten both completed starts over hurdles.
5
(5) (50/1 -213%) Kracquer
50
50/1(-213%)
(5) Kracquer 50/1, Was returning from a 17-month absence when well held on hurdles debut at Ludlow and bettered that when third of 9 in a Bangor maiden (16.7f, good to firm) in May. Type to do better now handicapping but others preferred all the same.
2
(2) (50/1 -43%) Kalpaga
50
50/1(-43%)
(2) Kalpaga 50/1, Glimmers of ability over hurdles in France and no great surprise that he struggled on debut for new connections in listed company at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) in April. Faced with a far more realistic assignment on this handicap bow but improvement is certainly needed.
15
(15) (66/1 +0%) El Diablo
66
66/1(+0%)
(15) El Diablo 66/1, Winner of sole start between the flags last November and stepped up on initial non-completions in this sphere when fourth of 9 in 2m Southwell novice during the spring. However, has offered little switched to handicaps the last twice.

(3) Music Society 3.33/1, C&D winner. 18/1, respectable third of 15 in handicap at this course (5f, soft) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Needs considering off the same mark in this lower grade.
6
(6) (4/1 +38%) Black Friday
4
4/1(+38%)
(6) Black Friday 4/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D (soft) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Remains on an attractive mark and he has to enter calculations.

(8) (4/1 +53%) Jill Rose
4
4/1(+53%)
(8) Jill Rose 4/1, Three-time C&D winner. Latest win at Haydock in August. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap (20/1) at this course (7f, soft) 10 days ago. Place possibilities.

8.5
8.5/1(+6%)
(10) Lezardrieux 8.5/1, C&D winner in September. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (5f) 25 days ago and one to consider back here off a 1 lb lower mark.

9
9/1(-125%)
(5) Bay Breeze 9/1, Good fourth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Back down to last winning mark and a bold show could be on the way.

11
11/1(+21%)
(1) Seven Brothers 11/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) 40 days ago. Now 1 lb below last winning mark but others are more persuasive all the same.

(7) (25/1 -108%) Motawaazy
25
25/1(-108%)
(7) Motawaazy 25/1, Four-time course winner, the latest over C&D in April. However, last of 12 in handicap (7/1) back over this C&D (soft) 10 days ago, which was disappointing even allowing for the fact that he may have needed the run.
9
(9) (28/1 -27%) Kyber Crystal
28
28/1(-27%)
(9) Kyber Crystal 28/1, Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, soft, 12/1) 29 days ago, looking more straightforward than has often been the case. Still, will need to raise her game in order to go one better here.

6.5
6.5/1(-18%)
(2) Moonshine Spirit 6.5/1, Telescope gelding who made a positive start when second in a C&D bumper 6 months ago. Likely to improve and should make his presence felt
3
(3) (12/1 +25%) Bullets Hill
12
12/1(+25%)
(3) Bullets Hill 12/1, Only fourth over C&D on debut 6 months ago so will need to improve on this first outing for a new stable.

(13) (80/1 +20%) Nathan Walker
80
80/1(+20%)
(13) Nathan Walker 80/1, Related to numerous winners but only a glimmer of ability in two starts to date and might need this return from 167 days off.

(6) Bomb Squad 2.75/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/3, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago. Has his conditions and every inch a leading contender off a workable mark.

2.75
2.75/1(+58%)
(2) Redrosezorro 2.75/1, Six-time course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2020. 15½ lengths twelfth of 14 to Magical Effect in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft, 16/1) 8 days ago. Clearly has work to do.

4
4/1(-33%)
(1) Magical Effect 4/1, Course winner. 11/2, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago, well on top finish. Big player under a penalty.

4/1(+56%)
(7) Spartakos 4/1, Course winner in August. Below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy, 9/4) 19 days ago. Not without hope but will probably find one or two too good.

14
14/1(-17%)
(4) Kendred Fire 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 15/2, last of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down to a potentially handy mark but has done most of his racing on faster ground.

16
16/1(-220%)
(3) Tashgheel 16/1, Won 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/3) 11 days ago, well on top finish. 5 lb rise by no means harsh but his strike rate on turf (1-19) is hardly compelling.

16
16/1(-78%)
(5) Fylingdale 16/1, Course winner in June. 50/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Not on a bad mark but several of these are more appealing.

(8) But You Said 33/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 5/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Bath (5f, good to firm). Off 118 days and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

(4) (16/1 +0%) Fiveonefive
16
16/1(+0%)
(4) Fiveonefive 16/1, Yet to build on a positive debut, only sixth at Listowel on latest outing, so others make more appeal.

18
18/1(+28%)
(3) Dark Duomo 18/1, Milan gelding. Dam, lightly raced over jumps, half-sister to smart hurdler/very smart chaser (stays 25f) Virak. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

5
(5) (250/1 -67%) Hunsbury
250
250/1(-67%)
(5) Hunsbury 250/1, Big price and showed little on both starts to date.
(1) Good Gracious 2.25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in minor event at Catterick (7f, soft, 9/4) 10 days ago. May well have more to offer for top yard now handicapping, so she has to enter calculations.

2.75
2.75/1(+0%)
(3) Royal Cay 2.75/1, Promising type. 18/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) 32 days ago. Very much one to consider now switched to a nursery off what looks a fair opening mark.

(7) Centre Court 10/1, Winner at Newmarket in May. Seventh of 10 in nursery at Haydock (7f, good, 40/1) 31 days ago. Patchy profile is starting to emerge and needs to get back on track now switched to this surface.

(6) Lady Manyara 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Haydock (6f, good) 32 days ago. Shaped well at Carlisle on penultimate start and claims on nursery debut if reproducing that level of form.

12/1(+0%)
(2) Violeta 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in minor event at Haydock (6f, firm, 12/1) 53 days ago. More needed now pitched into a nursery.

(9) Magicdollar 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, fifth of 14 in minor event at Redcar (7f, good to soft) 24 days ago, slowly away. Sizeable step forward needed but he's been handed a lowly mark for this nursery bow and improvement is entirely possible.

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