Races & Results Saturday 9th November 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(4) Lunar Chief 3/1, Won his sole outing in bumpers but ran below that level both starts over hurdles last season and will probably be of more interest in handicaps after this run. Steps up in trip and retains potential for a yard that won this last year with a smart one.
7
2nd (7) (4/5 +76%) Tommys Law
0.8
4/5(+76%)
(7) Tommys Law 4/5, Placed in points and has shown fair form over hurdles, extending his sequence of runner-up finishes at this course (16.2f) 2 weeks ago. Step back up in trip will suit and should give his running once again. Keeps finishing second but has the scope to progress; this longer trip can help.
1
3rd (1) (3/1 -33%) Bel Amigo
3
3/1(-33%)
(1) Bel Amigo 3/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler in France and similar form over fences, winning claimer at Compiegne when last seen in March. Changed hands for €24,600 after and sets a clear standard on UK/stable debut. French form was in the mud but ability much respected in a race of this nature.
5
4th (5) (125/1 -25%) One Cool Citizen
125
125/1(-25%)
(5) One Cool Citizen 125/1, Unpromising in points this year and finished well held in a pair of maiden hurdles (for Eugene M. O'Sullivan) in 2023. Only 1-9 in Irish points and was tailed off in two maiden hurdles there; unlikely winner.
2
|PU| (2) (28/1 +15%) Canunclecani
28
28/1(+15%)
(2) Canunclecani 28/1, €32,000 3-y-o, Lauro gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 6f/7f winner Miss Sayif. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Chat Room. Made frame all 3 starts in Irish points, third last time (May 11). Runner-up in his first Irish point but was tailed off in the next two.

11:10 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A comfortable winner of his last two starts in bumpers here, DEDICATED HERO looks just the type who could excel over hurdles this season and, as a former point-to-pointer, stepping up in trip should not inconvenience him. Runner-up on each of his last four starts, including over 2m here a couple of weeks ago, Tommys Law brings plenty of experience to the table, while French recruit Bel Amigo should be monitored for market support ahead of his debut for Nick Alexander.
BEL AMIGO sets a clear standard setting out for a new yard based on his French form, so has to be considered the one to beat on his UK debut. Dedicated Hero is an interesting rival given he's a dual bumper winner at this track and rates the main threat ahead of Tommys Law.
Sandy Thomson's DEDICATED HERO has looked a nice prospect in winning two bumpers here.
(3) Gold Des Bois 9/4, Hasn't got his head in front since back-to-back wins here in 2022 but the handicapper has relented and he returned to form when second of 6 in C&D handicap (good to soft) on yard debut 14 days ago. Likely contender. Positive start for Sandy Thomson when second over C&D 14 days ago; can go one better now.
5
2nd (5) (9/4 +36%) Fia Fuinidh
2.25
9/4(+36%)
(5) Fia Fuinidh 9/4, Hurdles winner who made a bright start over fences during the winter and posted an encouraging return to the track when second of 7 in Carlisle handicap chase (15.9f, good to soft) last month. Can race off same mark and is not taken lightly. Good reappearance second at Carlisle 23 days ago; unlikely to be far away if in same form.
2
3rd (2) (12/1 -243%) Bollingerandkrug
12
12/1(-243%)
(2) Bollingerandkrug 12/1, Showed improved form switched to front-running tactics last season, landing a hat-trick over C&D between May and November. Below form since but has dropped to a tempting mark and could be dangerous if able to dominate here. Won this off 7lb higher in 2023 but struggled since, including behind Gold Des Bois latest.
4
4th (4) (16/5 +20%) Chase A Fortune
3.2
16/5(+20%)
(4) Chase A Fortune 16/5, Made a winning chase debut following a wind op at Catterick (15.7f, soft) in February and back to that sort of form when creditable second of 5 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (17f, good to soft, 5/2) 39 days ago. Enters calculations. Both wins at Catterick; creditable second of five at Sedgefield last month; thereabouts.
6
5th (6) (6/1 +70%) Take Centre Stage
6
6/1(+70%)
(6) Take Centre Stage 6/1, Far from straighforward but showed improved form, with the aid of a visor, to win at Newcastle (16.3f) in February. However, ran poorly when last seen at Hexham in May and others are more convincing. Reacted well to a visor with a win and second in February but below form twice since.
1
6th (1) (28/1 -409%) Trac
28
28/1(-409%)
(1) Trac 28/1, Seven-time winner under Rules who ended last term in fine heart, landing handicaps at Newcastle (16.3f) and Carlisle (15.9f). Returns on a career-high mark but is entitled to plenty of respect. On a hat-trick after two wins in the spring but no great record fresh.
11:38 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CHASE A FORTUNE may have ground to make up on Trac from two runs in the spring, but he remains unexposed in this sphere and his return at Sedgefield last month was very encouraging. The six-year-old remains on a workable mark and he is preferred to Carlisle second Fia Fuinidh, as well as dual C&D winner Gold Des Bois, who was runner-up over track and trip last time out. Bollingerandkrug is 7lb lower than when landing this contest last year so must not be ruled out either.
GOLD DES BOIS did enough on his first start for Sandy Thomson here a fortnight ago to suggest a race of this nature is well within his compass. Fia Fuinidh ran well on his reappearance at Carlisle last month and is feared most.
A two-year losing run hardly makes GOLD DES BOIS bet compelling but a recent C&D second suggests he may be ready to strike again.
(5) Zip 7/2, Three-time scorer at this course who is now 10 lb below his last winning mark and arrives on back of good 2¼ lengths third of 12 to Onemorenomore in handicap over C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Visor back on. Can make presence felt. Well handicapped on best form and has won this race twice (2020 and 2022); good chance.
10
2nd (10) (13/2 +13%) Temper Trap
6.5
13/2(+13%)
(10) Temper Trap 13/2, Dual scorer (both 7f) last month and kept busy since, posting another good effort when second of 12 in Nottingham handicap (8.3f, heavy) 3 days ago. Finds himself 3 lb out of the weights here but ought to give another good account nonetheless. Standing up well to a busy autumn campaign; went very close at Nottingham three days ago.
3
3rd (3) (10/3 -11%) Quest For Fun
3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(3) Quest For Fun 10/3, Yet to score this year but has been given a chance by the handicapper and arrives on back of solid fifth of 17 in stronger contest over C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Shortlist material. Several pieces of respectable form this term, most recently fifth in big field over C&D.
4
4th (4) (6/1 +63%) Youarenotforgiven
6
6/1(+63%)
(4) Youarenotforgiven 6/1, Course winner who got back on scoreboard at Leicester (8.2f) in July. Posted respectable fourth at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) last time but is yet to prove himself on slow ground. Something to prove if the ground is slow, having raced mostly on good/firmer.
7
5th (7) (80/1 -100%) Drumstick
80
80/1(-100%)
(7) Drumstick 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was having his first start for new connections when 10¾ lengths ninth of 12 to Onemorenomore in handicap (33/1) over C&D (heavy) 14 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Comfortably held in the C&D event won by Onemorenomore on debut for new yard.
9
6th (9) (22/1 +12%) Conquest Of Power
22
22/1(+12%)
(9) Conquest Of Power 22/1, Won 3 times on AW this year but doesn't seem quite as effective on turf and others are more convincing. 1 lb out of the handicap. Inconsistent since returned to turf; not sure to build on latest effort.
2
7th (2) (12/1 -50%) Dashing Roger
12
12/1(-50%)
(2) Dashing Roger 12/1, Dual winner in mud this time last year but yet to score in 2024 and no more than respectable fifth at Nottingham latest. This belated drop back to 7f looks worth a go; defied a 6lb higher mark last November.
8
8th (8) (7/2 -17%) Onemorenomore
3.5
7/2(-17%)
(8) Onemorenomore 7/2, Posted career best when returning to winning ways in 12-runner handicap over C&D (heavy, 7/2) 14 days ago, driven out. 3 lb rise fair and another bold bid is on the cards. Successful over C&D two weeks ago, taking Doncaster record to 116431; solid contender.
1
9th (1) (14/1 -133%) Stanage
14
14/1(-133%)
(1) Stanage 14/1, Off the mark, in first-time blinkers, when taking 12-runner maiden at Chelmsford City (7f) 37 days ago. Since joined new yard and warrants respect on handicap debut. Took well to first-time blinkers in AW maiden on final start for the Gosdens; stable debut.
11:45 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Richard Fahey has won three of the last four runnings of this apprentices' handicap, including with ZIP in 2020 and 2022 and the eight-year-old returns to Town Moor on a lower mark than for both of those victories. He shaped well when third behind Onemorenomore here a fortnight ago and the winner doesn't have the assistance of Billy Loughnane this time, but he does reoppose on similar terms. Stanage was an easy winner of a maiden over this trip at Chelmsford last time and boasts sound double claims on his handicap bow.
ONEMORENOMORE bagged his third victory at this course a fortnight ago and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper since. He can go in again. Quest For Fun and Zip rate the principal dangers.
Off a very workable mark, ZIP is taken to register a third success in this race and reverse recent C&D placings with Onemorenomore.
(7) Nara 1/1, Failed to complete at Sligo on debut over fences last month but she was a fairly-useful performer over hurdles and must enter calculations on her second start in this sphere. Listed winner over hurdles on heavy in France; fell on chasing debut at Sligo; respected.
3
2nd (3) (6/1 +40%) Dame Rapide
6
6/1(+40%)
(3) Dame Rapide 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in October. Creditable fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 12/1) 7 days ago. Work to do on chase debut. 4th behind some smart types in 2m1f Down Royal handicap hurdle; should have more to offer.
5
3rd (5) (15/2 +38%) Kilbarry Saint
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(5) Kilbarry Saint 15/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Below form 28½ lengths sixth of 16 to Casa No Mento in listed hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 28/1). Off 6 months. Up against it on chase debut. Remote 6th in Listed grade at Punchestown in May; needs the run and wants the mud flying.
4
4th (4) (17/2 -55%) Enjoy The Dream
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(4) Enjoy The Dream 17/2, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Fourth of 13 in novice chase (33/1) at Wexford (16f, heavy) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Open to improvement and is not out of things. Encouraging chase debut when 4th behind Inthepocket at Wexford and is entitled to improve.
2
5th (2) (3/1 -33%) Air Drop
3
3/1(-33%)
(2) Air Drop 3/1, Winning hurdler who has upped her game since switched to larger obstacles, still in front when unseating rider 2 out in Grade 3 chase at Punchestown (18.3f, good, 33/1) last month. Shortlisted. Solid front-runner; right-handed track will suit and dangerous if allowed to dictate.
11:52 Gowran Park Maiden Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Following a couple of third-placed finishes over fences, AIR DROP was in front and still in with every chance when unseating her rider two in a Grade 3 chase at Punchestown last month. She looks worth another chance now back down in class and the withdrawal of A Law Of Her Own means she could get her own way out in front. Nara kept good company in juvenile hurdles last term and looks a big threat, but she fell on her chasing debut at Sligo last month. Enjoy The Dream completes the shortlist.
AIR DROP is going the right way over fences and can open her account over the larger obstacles here. Nara and A Law of Her Own rate the principal dangers.
AIR DROP (nap) could run them ragged from the front and she will take all the beating if allowed to dictate matters under Jack Kennedy
(8) Forged Well 11/4, Point recruit who tasted success on hurdles debut at Carlisle (19.3f) last December. Similar form in defeat since, off 6 months prior to a good third of 11 in handicap back at that venue (17f) 16 days ago. Return to this 2½m trip could well bring about further progress this campaign. Placed at Carlisle on his return and he still has potential; dangerous back up in trip.
6
2nd (6) (6/1 +8%) Harper Valley
6
6/1(+8%)
(6) Harper Valley 6/1, Scored three times last season at around 20f and returned from 6 months off with a creditable third of 5 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f) 3 weeks ago. Needs to pull out a little more to defy this mark but that isn't out of the question with a visor now enlisted. His progress has stalled and he needs to find more in new headgear.
4
3rd (4) (7/4 +42%) Luckie Seven
1.75
7/4(+42%)
(4) Luckie Seven 7/4, Progressive bumper winner who belied a 15-month lay-off to make a successful debut over hurdles at Perth (20.2f) in July. Followed up despite still showing signs of inexperience back there (16.2f) in September and has scope for plenty more improvement now handicapping. 2-2 over hurdles and he's open to more progress on handicap debut; big player.
1
4th (1) (50/1 -150%) Clear White Light
50
50/1(-150%)
(1) Clear White Light 50/1, Multiple winner over hurdles/on Flat for Adrian Keatley but out of sorts in latter sphere upon joining present stable, well-beaten in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) in September. Return to hurdling on back of a wind op needs to spark a revival. Out of sorts on the Flat in last three runs and needs a major revival back over hurdles.
9
5th (9) (14/1 -250%) The Navigator
14
14/1(-250%)
(9) The Navigator 14/1, Hit a real purple patch of late, displaying plenty of resolve when following up his C&D success at Sedgefield (19.8f) 20 days ago. Should go well again with his rider's claim more than off-setting his latest rise in weights. Resurgent 9yo who has won over C&D and at Sedgefield last twice; shortlisted.
3
6th (3) (33/1 +18%) Velasco
33
33/1(+18%)
(3) Velasco 33/1, Thrived towards the end of last season, winning three times at up to 3m. Shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off when fourth at Hexham (23.3 in October, prior to slipping up a circuit out at Newcastle (23.7f) 9 days ago. Present mark demands that little bit more. Four hurdle wins but he probably needs more progress in this sphere to defy this mark.
5
7th (5) (16/1 +11%) Romeo Brown
16
16/1(+11%)
(5) Romeo Brown 16/1, C&D winner who last scored at Aintree in December 2022 but did shape as if better for the run after 7 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (17.2f) 16 days ago. Return to further in his favour and likely to be much closer to form here. On reduced mark but last win was almost two years ago and others are more convincing.
2
|PU| (2) (4/1 +43%) Bois Guillbert
4
4/1(+43%)
(2) Bois Guillbert 4/1, 3-time winner over hurdles who ended last season with a respectable third at Ayr (2m) in March and saw out the longer trip after 7 months off when third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 45 days ago. 3-9 over hurdles and was good third when upped to 2m4f at Perth in September; respected.
12:07 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
The progressive LUCKIE SEVEN has now won both of his starts over hurdles, having defied a penalty when successful in novice company at Perth in September. The six-year-old will likely have more to offer on his handicap debut and Nicky Richards' inmate is taken to continue winning ways. The Navigator also bids for a hat-trick with solid claims and had the measure of Harper Valley (third) at Sedgefield last month. Bois Guillbert merits consideration too.
Progressive in bumpers, LUCKIE SEVEN made it 2-2 over hurdles despite still showing signs of inexperience in a Perth novice in September. Very much the type to progress further now handicapping, he looks up to playing a lead role from his opening mark. The Navigator has thrived of late and should be in the mix again. Forged Well, back at 2½m, and low-mileage I Am Max complete the shortlist.
The vote goes to the lightly raced LUCKIE SEVEN (nap), who is unbeaten in two hurdles and makes appeal on his handicap debut.
(1) It Just Takes Time 9/2, Won back to back on turf at Beverley and Leicester this autumn. Only a respectable effort on AW latest but may fare better back on the grass. Below par on AW last week; far more productive on turf; still well treated on peak form.
6
2nd (6) (7/1 -8%) Capote's Dream
7
7/1(-8%)
(6) Capote's Dream 7/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023 but took a big step back in the right direction when second of 8 at Newbury (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has good chance on form. Went close in higher grade last time; bit to prove back up in trip (0-8 beyond 6f).
3
3rd (3) (18/1 -227%) Fahrenheit Seven
18
18/1(-227%)
(3) Fahrenheit Seven 18/1, Improved when winning handicaps at Haydock (5f, good) and Epsom (6f, good to soft) in July. Brings un unexposed profile back from 4 months off but the 7f trip and soft ground are unknowns. Unexposed 3yo who recorded two sprint wins in July when last seen; steps up to 7f.
7
4th (7) (4/1 +60%) Mister Sox
4
4/1(+60%)
(7) Mister Sox 4/1, Won over 6f at Catterick (soft) in May. Mostly at least respectable efforts since, including fourth of 11 back at Catterick (7f, heavy, 9/2) 11 days ago. Ought to be competitive. Consistent this year; has performed well in both attempts over C&D; shortlisted.
2
5th (2) (5/2 +29%) Look Back Smiling
2.5
5/2(+29%)
(2) Look Back Smiling 5/2, Has good Doncaster record, including a win the Spring Mile on heavy ground in March. Keeping on when hampered late on over C&D a fortnight ago and has to enter the reckoning. Respectable record at Doncaster includes a success off this mark in the 2024 Spring Mile.
8
6th (8) (16/1 -14%) No Nay Nicki
16
16/1(-14%)
(8) No Nay Nicki 16/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Below form eleventh of 18 in handicap at York (7f, soft, 10/1) 29 days ago but her yard's fine record in this race makes her a dangerous one to discount. Went close on AW two starts ago; has failed to finish in the money on turf this term.
5
7th (5) (11/1 -57%) Beauty Choice
11
11/1(-57%)
(5) Beauty Choice 11/1, Successful over 7f at Catterick (heavy) in April and creditable placed efforts on all outings since, on the latest third of 11 back at Catterick 3 weeks ago. No reason why he won't figure prominently again. Consistent this season; placed off this mark in last four outings; solid contender.
9
8th (9) (7/2 +46%) Ey Up Its Jazz
3.5
7/2(+46%)
(9) Ey Up Its Jazz 7/2, Revels in the mud, making all at Redcar (7f, soft) on Tuesday. Effectively 7 lb higher (5 lb penalty and 2 lb out of handicap) but he still can't be discounted under these ground conditions. Won at Redcar on Tuesday; now effectively 7lb higher but not dismissed in current form.
4
9th (4) (100/1 -52%) Educate
100
100/1(-52%)
(4) Educate 100/1, Falling in the weights but hard to fancy on what he's done in 3 outings over much longer trips since joining this yard. Far from solid judged on his middle-distance form for new stable; enough to prove.
12:15 Doncaster Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FAHRENHEIT SEVEN is very interesting in the second division of this 7f apprentices' handicap. Having recorded a quick-fire sprint double in July, Mark Usher's gelding looked crying out for further when powering home over 6f at Epsom last time and there could be much more to come from the unexposed three-year-old. However, if a 6lb rise and a 121-day layoff catch him out here, then Beauty Choice could be the one to pounce, as he returns to a winning trip on the back of some good efforts in defeat over shorter. Capote's Dream is another to consider after a near-miss over 6f at Newbury.
CAPOTE'S DREAM is well treated if he can build on his latest back-to-form second at Newbury. Second choice is Look Back Smiling who wasn't seen to best effect here on Futurity day and won on this card last season. The consistent Beauty Choice completes the shortlist.
Back down in class, LOOK BACK SMILING is taken to record a third success at Doncaster. Mister Sox is second choice.
(6) Mister Meggit 1/1, Looked very good when winning first 2 bumpers. Suffered interference when well beaten in a Grade 2 bumper here in the spring but the fact he went off at 15/8 shows the regard in which he's held. Likely to have a big say on hurdle debut for in-form stable. Very impressive in two bumpers last season; excuses in Grade 2 here; exciting prospect.
9
2nd (9) (8/1 +43%) Off The Jury
8
8/1(+43%)
(9) Off The Jury 8/1, Point winner in Ireland and fair form when reaching the frame in 3 bumpers earlier in the year. Starts out over hurdles in quite a warm race and possibly best to look elsewhere. Point winner who was placed in bumpers; open to improvement now up in trip on hurdle debut.
4
3rd (4) (25/1 -25%) Kepler's Law
25
25/1(-25%)
(4) Kepler's Law 25/1, Won his sole start in Irish points (Apr 21). The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling for new connections. Impressive in Irish maiden point in April and betting could be informative on rules debut.
3
4th (3) (25/1 -79%) Followcato
25
25/1(-79%)
(3) Followcato 25/1, £72,000 purchase after finishing runner-up in an Irish point in February. Promise when third of 13 in a Huntingdon bumper for new connections in April and he should have a future over jumps. Placed in a point and a bumper; open to improvement but needs sizeable step forward.
5
5th (5) (5/1 +64%) Malicash
5
5/1(+64%)
(5) Malicash 5/1, Ran to a fair level without winning in bumpers for Ewan Whillans and made a positive start over hurdles for new connections when second of 10 at Carlisle (17f, soft) 23 days ago. Open to progress. Displayed promise in bumpers and also on last month's hurdle debut; possible contender.
2
6th (2) (5/1 +17%) Glynn Brae
5
5/1(+17%)
(2) Glynn Brae 5/1, Overcame inexperience to win a Leopardstown bumper in March (sold from Stuart Crawford for £130,000 later that month) and followed up on his Stratford hurdle debut 8 months later. Capable of better. Made it 2-2 when scoring at Stratford and could have lots more to offer; respected.
7
7th (7) (125/1 -89%) Moonshine Man
125
125/1(-89%)
(7) Moonshine Man 125/1, Ran to a modest level when fifth of 10 in bumper at Warwick (2m, good) on debut 37 days ago. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut. A watching brief is advised. Fair fifth on last month's bumper debut but others have far more substance to their claims.
1
8th (1) (8/1 -23%) Ben Solo
8
8/1(-23%)
(1) Ben Solo 8/1, Irish point winner who was placed in the first of 2 bumpers last season and made a successful start to his hurdle career in a 2m Chepstow novice 4 weeks ago. Should be more to come now stepping up in trip. 3m point winner who won over 2m on hurdle debut; the step up in trip is a likely positive.
8
|PU| (8) (150/1 0%) Moran's Law
150
150/1(0%)
(8) Moran's Law 150/1, In good hands but looks more one for the longer term judged on his efforts in a Warwick bumper and Sedgefield maiden hurdle 6 months apart. Has a hood added to the tongue tie he wore at Sedgefield. Well beaten in a bumper/maiden hurdle and a transformation is needed in a first-time hood.
12:20 Aintree Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GLYNN BRAE was victorious on his only bumper start before switching to the Nigel Twiston-Davies stable and doing the business on heavy ground on his hurdling debut at Stratford last month. The four-year-old should have plenty more to offer and might be capable of defying his 6lb penalty. Point-to-point winner Ben Solo made a successful start over the smaller obstacles at Chepstow and looks the main threat, while Mister Meggit is another to keep an eye on.
An interesting opener. There were excuses for MISTER MEGITT when a warm favourite for a Grade 2 bumper at the Grand National meeting and he can get his hurdle career off to a winning start for the in-form O'Neill yard. Malicash, Glynn Brae and Ben Solo can give him most to do in that order.
Interference proved very costly for MISTER MEGGIT in the Grade 2 bumper here in April but he was extremely impressive previously.
(10) Noble Talent 11/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. 5/2, fourth of 5 in novice chase at Cork (17.6f, good) 27 days ago. Merits consideration. Winning hurdler, second on chase debut at Sligo, made a costly mistake two out at Cork.
3
2nd (3) (16/1 -60%) Brucejack
16
16/1(-60%)
(3) Brucejack 16/1, Fair chaser. 28/1, good third of 21 in handicap chase at Punchestown (31.3f, soft). Off 6 months. Significantly down in trip. Looks competitive on form. Experienced chaser, ended campaign with a fine staying effort in a Punchestown handicap.

3rd (12) (14/1 -40%) Ballycashin
14
14/1(-40%)
(12) Ballycashin 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in May. Fourth of 6 in minor event hurdle (8/1) at Listowel (20f, good) 48 days ago. Makes chase debut. Took a long time to win a race over hurdles, lacks the benefit of chase experience.
7
4th (7) (22/1 -38%) Individualiste
22
22/1(-38%)
(7) Individualiste 22/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. First run since leaving Paul Nicholls when sixteenth of 18 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f, good, 7/1) 15 days ago. Two hurdle wins for Paul Nicholls, has failed to get to grips with chasing so far.
15
5th (15) (13/2 -44%) The Great Unknown
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(15) The Great Unknown 13/2, Promising individual. Second of 10 in novice chase (3/1) at Killarney (23.4f, soft) on debut over fences 34 days ago, sticking to task. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should have more to offer. Smart jumping pedigree, disappointing maiden hurdler, second in a weak race on chase debut.
16
6th (16) (2/1 +60%) Tell Nobody Nothin
2
2/1(+60%)
(16) Tell Nobody Nothin 2/1, Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. Second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft, 10/11) 29 days ago. Makes chase debut and possesses more ability than most of these. Youngster is sent over fences after just three runs over hurdles, dam was a useful chaser.
2
7th (2) (25/1 -25%) Be Fierce
25
25/1(-25%)
(2) Be Fierce 25/1, Fair hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 4/1) 30 days ago, kept up to work. Makes chase debut (maiden pointer). Up in trip. Took a long time to register a first hurdles win, ordinary form in points last season.
8
8th (8) (100/1 +0%) Muskerry Rock
100
100/1(+0%)
(8) Muskerry Rock 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 12/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fourteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut. Good jumping pedigree, has looked of little account over hurdles, transformation needed.
9
9th (9) (25/1 -79%) Noble Blue
25
25/1(-79%)
(9) Noble Blue 25/1, Fair chaser. 14/1, sixteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Placed twice over fences last season, had become disappointing by the end of the season.
4
|F| (4) (33/1 -106%) Cosmo Renfro
33
33/1(-106%)
(4) Cosmo Renfro 33/1, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Limerick (19f, heavy). Off 6 months. Makes chase debut. Consistent and progressive handicap hurdler last season, could make an effective chaser.
14
|U| (14) (9/1 -38%) Killinure Lass
9
9/1(-38%)
(14) Killinure Lass 9/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 25f over hurdles. Running well fell in novice chase at Sligo (21.1f, good, 3/1) 38 days ago, potential winner had she stood up. Not taken lightly. Four-time hurdles winner, second on chase debut, in contention when falling at Sligo.
11
10th (11) (50/1 -52%) Poets Cottage
50
50/1(-52%)
(11) Poets Cottage 50/1, Fair hurdler. Eighth of 10 in novice chase (9/1) at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago, going off too hard. Placed twice over hurdles, struggled on chasing debut at Downpatrick, plenty to prove.
6
11th (6) (8/1 +50%) Due Course
8
8/1(+50%)
(6) Due Course 8/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in October. 9/1, creditable sixth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Likely to improve over fences. Promoted to 108 over hurdles after two wins in recent months, interesting on chase debut.
5
12th (5) (20/1 +20%) Driscolls Hill
20
20/1(+20%)
(5) Driscolls Hill 20/1, Below form ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft, 7/1) 178 days ago. Makes chase debut. Placed in two staying maiden hurdles in April, well below his best at Tipperary in May.
13
13th (13) (11/2 +0%) Hardy Diamond
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(13) Hardy Diamond 11/2, Promising type. 11/2, third of 10 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Stable in good form. Has to be taken seriously with promise of plenty more to come. Maiden hurdle winner, satisfactory start to chasing career when third at Downpatrick.
1
14th (1) (66/1 +34%) Battle Roar
66
66/1(+34%)
(1) Battle Roar 66/1, Modest hurdler. Excellent fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, good to soft, 25/1) 16 days ago. Makes chase debut. Back up in trip. Ran well over hurdles recently on first outing since May, overall hurdles form is modest.
12:27 Gowran Park Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
THE GREAT UNKNOWN showed promise in maiden hurdles and made a bright start over fences when prominent throughout and beating all bar Brave Adam (the pair finished clear of the remainder) over 2m7f at Killarney last month. The selection hails from a yard in good form and is now fitted with cheekpieces. This race is restricted to horses rated 109 or less over hurdles and Due Course, successful on his penultimate start over this trip at Punchestown, just falls into the race criteria. Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner Tell Nobody Nothin is another to consider, along with Be Fierce and Cosmo Renfro, who both won over hurdles last time.
HARDY DIAMOND already looks a better chaser than hurdler and in the right hands to progress, she makes the most appeal of these. The Great Unknown also has more to come, while unexposed 4-t-o Tell Nobody Nothin also demands consideration on debut over fences.
It could be worth taking a chance with \DUE COURSE\p, a chasing newcomer who is race-fit and has been progressive in handicap hurdles
(4) Sorceleur 2/9, Put up a useful effort when fifth of 18 in Grade 2 event at Aintree in April and seems sure to improve on his opening hurdles effort when second at this venue in a first-time tongue strap 18 days ago. Outstanding claims. Engaged 1.15 Exeter Friday. Won at Exeter yesterday and will have another excellent opportunity if he comes here.
2
2nd (2) (11/1 -47%) Holeshot
11
11/1(-47%)
(2) Holeshot 11/1, Maiden pointer, fell last time (Apr 21). Bred for longer trips and shaped in kind when fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) on Rules debut 5 weeks ago. Type to do better further down the line but claims of making the frame nevertheless. 0-5 in points but made quite encouraging hurdle debut when fourth at Uttoxeter last month.
1
3rd (1) (17/2 -55%) Clinton Lane
8.5
17/2(-55%)
(1) Clinton Lane 17/2, Yet to better modest form in this sphere but managed to double career tally after 5 months off in 7-runner Plumpton novice (15.9f) 19 days ago. Looks vulnerable under a penalty, however. 2-12 over hurdles after last month's Plumpton win but his record is very mixed.
3
4th (3) (50/1 -100%) Roxhill
50
50/1(-100%)
(3) Roxhill 50/1, €9,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam unraced. Third on first of 2 starts in point bumpers, unplaced last time (Feb 2024). Betting should prove a useful guide on hurdles debut. Not beaten far in one of his two point-to-point bumpers; makes rules debut today.
6
5th (6) (66/1 +34%) Till You Can't
66
66/1(+34%)
(6) Till You Can't 66/1, Pulled up in point and little show in bumpers/maiden hurdles. Struggled when a big-priced outsider for first two hurdle races, the latter over C&D.
5
6th (5) (10/1 -67%) Staff Sergeant Len
10
10/1(-67%)
(5) Staff Sergeant Len 10/1, Nutan gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Sergeant. Much improved from debut when second in a Fontwell bumper (17.7f) in January. Failed by a long chalk to match that at Stratford (16.3f) in March but no great surprise to see a better showing now hurdling. Nearly caused 40-1 surprise in a bumper in January; well beaten in other two bumpers.
12:35 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
CLINTON LANE returned from a break to score by a neck at Plumpton last month and that looks the best piece of form on offer in this contest. Mark Gillard's six-year-old might only need to reproduce that level of performance in order to record a double in this company. Holeshot ran better than his odds suggested he would when fourth at Uttoxeter last time and could get closer on only his second start over hurdles, while Roxhill is worth a market check on his debut under Rules.
SORCELEUR stands out on what he achieved in bumpers and following a promising second on return/hurdles debut at Exeter 18 days ago, he looks to have been found an excellent opportunity of going one place better. Staff Sergeant Len on hurdles bow and Holeshot can fill the places.
Aintree festival bumper fifth SORCELEUR scored at Exeter yesterday and will have an excellent chance to double up if he turns up here.
(9) Breakdance Kid 7/2, Ran away with a Hexham handicap in June and put in a good shift when finding just one too good at Sedgefield (26.3f, good to soft) last month. While this drop back in trip may not be ideal, he is one for the shortlist all the same. Arrives in top form; edged out final strides last time; should be thereabouts.
2
2nd (2) (25/1 -56%) Charlie Uberalles
25
25/1(-56%)
(2) Charlie Uberalles 25/1, Fairly useful chaser who was as good as ever when scoring at Cartmel in June. It's been a struggle in 3 subsequent starts, though, and he needs to get back on track now tried in cheekpieces. Seems to be struggling for form, well-held fourth at Cartmel last month; headgear on.
3
3rd (3) (9/1 -38%) Half Shot
9
9/1(-38%)
(3) Half Shot 9/1, Perked up by application of blinkers as he capitalised on reduced mark in 10-runner C&D handicap chase in September, rallying to edge back ahead final 50 yds. Collared close home in his follow-up bid at Wetherby and this 10-y-o is not without each-way hope. Back to form (winner and runner-up) in blinkers this autumn; in the mix again.
5
4th (5) (12/1 -50%) Ned Tanner
12
12/1(-50%)
(5) Ned Tanner 12/1, Dual winner here during 2022/23 campaign and creditable placed efforts both completed starts at this venue last term. However, he was left behind by the winner when second in a 4-runner event at Carlisle on latest start in March (sincer undergone a wind op) and his record when fresh isn't the best. Runner-up to Red Happy 12 months ago; interesting contender again after wind op.
4
5th (4) (6/1 -33%) Five Dollar Fine
6
6/1(-33%)
(4) Five Dollar Fine 6/1, Winner of 3 of his last 4 starts, including on his seasonal reappearance at Carlisle (2m, good to soft). Moving back up in trip is unlikely to be an issue and 6 lb rise fair enough, so he's one to consider. Better than ever of late, winning three of last four; tougher opposition here.
1
6th (1) (2/1 +33%) Choose A Copper
2
2/1(+33%)
(1) Choose A Copper 2/1, Had a wind op before signing off for last term with a very good second in a Perth handicap hurdle in April. Improved when making a winning reappearance/chase debut at Hexham (2½m, soft) and this 4 lb higher mark should be within his reach. Made perfect start to chasing career at Hexham; young, unexposed and may follow up.
6
7th (6) (20/1 -67%) Red Happy
20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Red Happy 20/1, Winner of this race on debut for George Bewley 12 months ago. Followed up at Carlisle next time and while he was a shade below par on final 2 starts of last season, this 7-y-o will have a fighting chance if he puts his best foot forward. Won this race last year; more required this time around off 9lb higher mark.
10
8th (10) (10/1 +38%) Chapel Green
10
10/1(+38%)
(10) Chapel Green 10/1, Got right back on track under more forceful tactics when readily making all in 7-runner C&D handicap (good to soft) in May. Likely to come on for his spin at Perth (first run for 4 months) but yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Choose A Copper. Best effort when winning comfortably over C&D; might have needed latest run; interesting.
11
|F| (11) (50/1 -213%) Cracking Destiny
50
50/1(-213%)
(11) Cracking Destiny 50/1, More miss than hit since latest success at Musselburgh last November but, on the upside, he's now 8 lb below that winning mark. Coudn't rule out. Fine servant over the years but seems on the downgrade; tongue-strap fitted for first time.
8
|PU| (8) (8/1 +60%) Ganapathi
8
8/1(+60%)
(8) Ganapathi 8/1, Useful hurdle/chase winner for Willie Mullins but losing run stretches back to June 2022 and he hasn't set the world alight in 4 starts for present yard. Has a regressive profile but his mark is falling fast and he might have needed last run.
12:42 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HALF SHOT has improved for the fitting of blinkers and followed a C&D victory with a fine second at Wetherby. This looks less competitive and he can resume winning ways, with his rider's 5lb allowance helping his cause. Choose A Copper made a successful debut over the larger obstacles at Hexham on his reappearance and there should be more to come from him over fences, while last month's Carlisle winner Five Dollar Fine looks worth another try over this trip.
The vote goes to unexposed 6-y-o CHOOSE A COPPER, who made the perfect start to his chase career at Hexham where, save for a scare at the first fence, he put in a good round of jumping. There should be more to come from Lucinda Russell's charge in this sphere. Breakdance Kid is just about second choice ahead of Five Dollar Fine and Half Shot.
If there's a useful prospect in the field it's probably CHOOSE A COPPER and Lucinda Russell's 6yo is taken to follow up his Hexham win.
(7) Stay Around 66/1, In good hands but has finished well held both starts to date (maiden/novice event). Never a threat over 7f at Redcar or here; looks more of a long-term prospect.
6
1st (6) (13/8 -30%) So Darn Hot
1.625
13/8(-30%)
(6) So Darn Hot 13/8, Too Darn Hot gelding who again shaped with plenty of promise when second in 8-runner novice at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft) 18 days ago, sticking to task and pulling clear of rest. Remains capable of better, especially not back at 6f, and has leading claims. Getting better with each run, second at Yarmouth last time; looks the one to beat.
3
2nd (3) (6/4 +14%) Humam
1.5
6/4(+14%)
(3) Humam 6/4, 260,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Vadream and winner up to 6.5f Mirage Hero. Produced a promising first effort when third in 9-runner novice at Newmarket (7f, soft) 17 days ago and likely to improve. Shaped well when third of nine at Newmarket; open to improvement and high on the list.
2
3rd (2) (4/1 +75%) Crestofdistinction
4
4/1(+75%)
(2) Crestofdistinction 4/1, Foaled March 4. 70,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Closely related to useful 5f winner Saliteh and half-brother to 5f/6f winner The Princes Poet. Appeals on paper so needs a market check. 70,000gns yearling; closely related to Group-placed 5f winner; one of two newcomers here.
5
4th (5) (20/1 -100%) Mr Cool
20
20/1(-100%)
(5) Mr Cool 20/1, Fair maiden who ran creditably when third of 9 in nursery at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 50 days ago. Likely to find at least 1 or 2 too good, however. 0-9; ran respectably in Ayr nursery last time; unlikely to be far away.
4
5th (4) (16/1 +20%) Jarham
16
16/1(+20%)
(4) Jarham 16/1, Territories colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1m Decisive Action and 2m winner Wholeofthemoon. Bred more for stamina than speed and finished well held at Newbury on debut 15 days ago. No immediate promise when tenth of 13 at Newbury; needs a big step forward.
1
6th (1) (250/1 -150%) Axis
250
250/1(-150%)
(1) Axis 250/1, Made a discouraging start to career when last of 8 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut. Off 138 days. First run for yard after leaving Michael Bell. Tailed-off last of eight on debut in June; has since been gelded and left Michael Bell.
8
7th (8) (66/1 -32%) Trust Sergei
66
66/1(-32%)
(8) Trust Sergei 66/1, Foaled February 21. Sergei Prokofiev colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Outreach. Dam 5f-7f winner. A first 2yo runner for this stable; worth a check in the market.
9
8th (9) (100/1 -100%) What What What
100
100/1(-100%)
(9) What What What 100/1, Hasn't shown enough in 3 starts to warrant interest in maiden company. Showed modest level of form when sixth of nine at Redcar; much more progress is needed.
10
9th (10) (16/1 -60%) My Mate Beattie
16
16/1(-60%)
(10) My Mate Beattie 16/1, Has steadily got better with each run but looks vulnerable to less-exposed types. Knocking at the door in 6f/7f novice/maiden events; should be in the thick of things again.
12:50 Doncaster Maiden (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A 260,000gns yearling who is a half-brother to four winners, HUMAM showed good speed for a long way before weakening into third over 7f at Newmarket first time out. With that recent experience under his belt and the drop in trip likely to suit, Andrew Balding's colt is preferred to So Darn Hot, who has got closer to the target with each of his three starts and only went down by three-quarters of a length over 5f at Yarmouth last month. My Mate Beattie has also shown ability in her four outings and completes the shortlist.
SO DARN HOT again shaped encouragingly when pulling clear with a promising newcomer at Yarmouth on his most recent outing and, with the step back up in trip an obvious plus, this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account. Humam is entitled to build on a promising first effort at Newmarket, with newcomer Crestofdistinction requiring a market check.
The pick on form judged on his second at Yarmouth last month, SO DARN HOT is open to further progress and looks the one to beat.
(3) Haiti Couleurs 5/6, Ended last season with a brace of hurdles wins at up to 23.6f and shaped well sent chasing after 6 months off when second at Chepstow 4 weeks ago, some inexperienced jumping in dash for home costing him. One to be interested in. Promising start over fences when second at Chepstow; may well go one better.
2
2nd (2) (10/3 -67%) Uncle Bert
3.333333
10/3(-67%)
(2) Uncle Bert 10/3, Useful hurdler who posted a career-best effort when adding to his tally at Bangor (19.6f) in Match. All over a chaser on looks but low-key start in 2 starts in this sphere of late, hanging markedly left when pulled up at Carlisle 6 days ago. Up in trip. Hasn't transferred useful hurdle form to fences but it's too early to be writing him off.
1
|F| (1) (3/1 -9%) Ike Sport
3
3/1(-9%)
(1) Ike Sport 3/1, Developed into a useful hurdler last season, winning 3 times at around 20f. Looks the type who will improve from his chase debut experience when fourth in novices' handicap at Uttoxeter (20f) 22 days ago and he's unexposed granted this sort of test. Three hurdles wins last term and shaped quite well on chasing debut; now goes up in trip.
4
|F| (4) (14/1 -27%) Equinus
14
14/1(-27%)
(4) Equinus 14/1, C&D hurdles winner on last year's reappearance but exploits mixed thereafter for Nigel Twiston-Davies. Starts out for new yard here and appeals as the type to make a chaser but those with experience in this sphere appeal more. Mainly disappointing over hurdles but did win here last autumn; chase debut for new yard.
12:55 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
HAITI COULEURS finished 10 lengths clear of the third when occupying the runner-up berth in this grade at Chepstow on his most recent outing and is only 3lb higher. Rebecca Curtis' seven-year-old has lots of scope for improvement on only his second chase start and could prove tough to beat. Uncle Bert ran too bad to be true when a pulled-up favourite at Carlisle six days ago and he might be worth another chance. Ike Sport can beat Equinus in the battle for third.
A dual winner over hurdles as a novice, HAITI COULEURS took a marked step forward on those efforts when a most encouraging second on return/chase debut at Chepstow 4 weeks ago, some inexperienced jumping arguably costing him. Open to improvement, he's fancied to confirm the promise of that effort and go one place better. Ike Sport may emerge next best, ahead of Uncle Bert, who comes here on something of a recovery mission having been pulled up at Carlisle 6 days ago.
The most solid claims belong to HAITI COULEURS who jumped soundly in the main on his chasing debut and may well go one better.
(1) The Big Chap 5/2, Disappointed in higher grade latest but had ran right up to his best when scoring at Limerick (19.2f) previously and holds strong claims here. Beaten out of sight last week in Grade 2 company but will find this easier.
3
2nd (3) (13/8 +28%) Gaelic Arc
1.625
13/8(+28%)
(3) Gaelic Arc 13/8, Below par in Grade 3 at Cork latest but had got back on the up when second of 6 in Like A Butterfly Novices' Chase at Tipperary (20.1f, good to soft) previously and is not taken lightly. Well below his best at Cork latest; dangerous if allowed to dictate a small-field affair.
2
3rd (2) (9/4 +18%) Railway Hurricane
2.25
9/4(+18%)
(2) Railway Hurricane 9/4, Not the most reliable but scored at Wexford (19.5f) in July and back to that sort of form when creditable 5¾ lengths third of 9 to The Big Chap in handicap chase at Limerick (19.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Enters calculations. Third behind The Big Chap at Limerick on his return, but best form is going left-handed.
6
4th (6) (17/2 +74%) The Little Yank
8.5
17/2(+74%)
(6) The Little Yank 17/2, Thirty runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Blinkers on 1st time. Others preferred. Tailed off on return over hurdles at Galway and this trip is probably on the sharp side.
13:02 Gowran Park Handicap Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GAELIC ARC made most when landing a valuable 2m1f handicap at Killarney in July and the front-runner only gave best in the closing stages when runner-up to Shecouldbeanything in a 2m4f Grade 3 novice at Tipperary. He should be suited by this drop in trip after a below-par effort over 2m4f at Cork last weekend. The Big Chap found Grade 2 company too hot at Down Royal last time but previously had Railway Hurricane nearly six lengths back in third when scoring over 2m3f at Limerick. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding can't be discounted lightly, having made a mistake two out on that occasion and he now enjoys a 7lb swing in the weights.
THE BIG CHAP is best not judged on his latest run at Down Royal and can resume winning ways. Gaelic Arc may provide the chief threat.
It might be worth siding with GAELIC ARC, who will attempt to win from the front under Danny Mullins
(1) Beau Balko 9/2, Fairly useful hurdler and ran to similar level when opening his chase account at the fourth attempt at Musselburgh in February. Likely to have won again but for a mistake 2 out at Ayr in April and could well be sharper for his recent return at Kempton. Respected. Consistent during first season over fences and made satisfactory reappearance last month.
3
2nd (3) (5/6 +52%) Tedley
0.833333
5/6(+52%)
(3) Tedley 5/6, Different proposition since switched to chasing, improving again to make it 2 from 2 in this sphere in 7-runner handicap at Wetherby (19.4f, good, 6/4) last week. Nudged up 6 lb but open to further progress. 2-2 since switched to fences this autumn; must be considered in current mood.
2
3rd (2) (14/1 -100%) Dreaming Blue
14
14/1(-100%)
(2) Dreaming Blue 14/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark with plenty to spare at Fontwell (17.8f, heavy) in March and followed up back there (21.6f) 3 weeks later. Reappears from an 8 lb higher mark but has gone well fresh before. Ended last season with two Fontwell wins; goes without blinkers on this reappearance.
4
4th (4) (9/4 +65%) Killer Kane
2.25
9/4(+65%)
(4) Killer Kane 9/4, Showed plenty of ability remains when third of 8 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time and must enter calculations off the same mark. Ran okay over 3m last month; drops back in trip with blinkers tried here.
13:09 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
TEDLEY accounted for his nearest rival by just over a length when scoring in this grade at Wetherby last week and competes off a 6lb higher rating for his hat-trick bid. Nigel Twiston Davies' five-year-old might have plenty more to offer on only his third chase start and can remain unbeaten over fences. It was hard not to be impressed by Dreaming Blue's triumph at Fontwell in April and, despite an 8lb rise, he could get into contention on his return to action, along with fellow last-time-out winner Duke Of Luckley.
TEDLEY is clearly a different proposition now chasing and this looks a good opportunity to maintain his unbeaten record. Beau Balko could well be sharper for last month's return at Kempton and is second choice.
This looks good for TEDLEY, a course winner over hurdles who has made an excellent start to his chasing career this autumn.
(7) Starlyte 7/2, Pulled up 3 times in a row but stopped the slide when finding only one too good over C&D last month, running on. Same mark so a repeat of that will see her bang there. Wouldn't be far away if repeating her 8l second over C&D a month ago.
8
2nd (8) (14/1 +0%) Santa Clarita
14
14/1(+0%)
(8) Santa Clarita 14/1, Made a winning start for Dan Skelton at Worcester in September. Up in the weights and left that yard after 2 more runs but made a reasonable fist of things for new connections when fifth at Ayr. September winner for Dan Skelton and debut for this yard was fairly positive.
2
3rd (2) (3/1 +33%) Maillot Blanc
3
3/1(+33%)
(2) Maillot Blanc 3/1, Looked rusty after 11 months off on his first run since leaving Sophie Leech when fifth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle in March. Off further 7 months and never really looked like justifying market support back at that venue a fortnight ago. Tongue tie on and not without hope. Fair mark on form for previous yard; okay run last time on second start after a layoff.
5
4th (5) (14/1 +30%) Looking Splendid
14
14/1(+30%)
(5) Looking Splendid 14/1, Little in the way of solid form so far, brushed aside on handicap debut over C&D a month ago. Has looked modest and failed to raise his profile on handicap debut here last month.
4
5th (4) (8/1 -14%) Lucky Soldier
8
8/1(-14%)
(4) Lucky Soldier 8/1, Encouraging second in a bumper at Ayr on debut and showed more than previously over hurdles when third in a C&D maiden, finishing with running left. Failed to repeat that on handicap debut a month later and could do with brushing up his jumping. Has had a breathing operation. Bumper promise; this is only his second handicap and he's undergone wind surgery.
9
6th (9) (80/1 -60%) The Roc Hopper
80
80/1(-60%)
(9) The Roc Hopper 80/1, Little in the way of worthwhile form. Modest form so far, last time pulling up on handicap debut (2m6f) when 66-1.
6
7th (6) (9/1 -50%) Gonfalonier
9
9/1(-50%)
(6) Gonfalonier 9/1, Made second start for this yard a winning one at Perth in June 2022. Third at that venue a month later but off the track since so well-being taken on trust, for all he's in very capable hands. Winning handicapped; dropped 5lb during his absence and needs a market check.
11
8th (11) (28/1 +30%) Luminaries
28
28/1(+30%)
(11) Luminaries 28/1, Little impact in various events over hurdles, though last month's stable debut over C&D wasn't totally devoid of promise. Tongue strap on. Ten-race maiden with no obvious form claims; tries tongue-tie on second run for this yard.
10
9th (10) (66/1 0%) Le Fou's Keep
66
66/1(0%)
(10) Le Fou's Keep 66/1, Poor maiden hurdler who continues to make limited appeal. Third at 300-1 in a maiden hurdle last October but has offered little since.
3
10th (3) (5/2 -11%) Marty Mcfly
2.5
5/2(-11%)
(3) Marty Mcfly 5/2, Confirmed positive start for new yard when landing 10-runner handicap at Perth (16.2f) in June. 6 lb rise fair and isn't yet exposed so major player of seeing this new trip out on the back of a breathing operation. 2m winner at Perth in June; 6lb higher but could be progressive.
1
11th (1) (50/1 -150%) Watch Law
50
50/1(-150%)
(1) Watch Law 50/1, Hit the target twice between the flags in the early part of last year and showed more than previously under Rules despite a few mistakes when fourth in a hunter at Kelso (26.2f) in May. Down in trip returned to timber. Beaten 16l and 13l in two hunter chases here on either side of his third in a point.
13:15 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
STARLYTE may be winless since November 2022, but she bounced back to form to occupy the runner-up berth over C&D and is fancied to end the drought. Marty Mcfly has undergone wind surgery since scoring at Perth in June, which might bring about further improvement, while Maillot Blanc has yet to click for new connections but is a capable sort on his day. Returning from a long absence, Gonfalonier could have a say in proceedings as well.
MARTY MCLFY has to prove his stamina for this far but made a sound start for his new yard during the middle of 2024 and is taken to pick up where he left off. Starlyte must enter the reckoning on her runner-up effort over C&D recently with her mark unchanged, while the market will help assess Gonfalonier on his return from a long time off the track.
An open handicap. MAILLOT BLANC is still finding his feet after an absence and his last run was quite encouraging.
(3) Room Service 10/3, Winner of a valuable sales race here last season and back on the up when bagging a 6f Pontefract handicap (soft) in tidy fashion in July. Ground was too lively for him following a wind op in the Ayr Gold Cup next time and produced a huge career best when second in big-field handicap at York. Mudlover who did very well to reach 2nd of 21 in big 6f handicap latest; needs good gallop.
8
2nd (8) (28/1 +58%) Balmoral Lady
28
28/1(+58%)
(8) Balmoral Lady 28/1, Didn't race at 2 yrs and a thriving handicapper since allotted a mark in the summer, recording win number 4 when making all at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. This a completely different environment, however. Personal bests in each of last 3 runs; returns to 6f up in class, likely to halt progress.
6
3rd (6) (14/1 +30%) Thunderbear
14
14/1(+30%)
(6) Thunderbear 14/1, Established as a useful gelding, running right up to form when excellent ¾-length second of 8 to My Mate Alfie in listed race at Naas (5.9f, good to soft) 28 days ago, running on. Mixed in 2024 but in form now and close up in a 6f Listed race last time; needs a bit more.
10
4th (10) (10/1 -11%) Sophia's Starlight
10
10/1(-11%)
(10) Sophia's Starlight 10/1, Likeable and straightforward filly who arrives here in pursuit of a hat-trick following 6f handicap wins at Newmarket and Pontefract. Dominating this field asks for more but she's clearly in excellent heart. In the frame in Listed events last year; two 6f handicap wins this autumn; spirited shot.
5
5th (5) (9/2 +63%) Ten Bob Tony
4.5
9/2(+63%)
(5) Ten Bob Tony 9/2, Stepped up on his useful juvenile form when making all in 7f conditions' race in April. Seen just 4 times since, producing a career-best display when ½-length second of 9 to Topgear in Group 3 Prix du Pin at Longchamp (7f). Never really travelled at Newmarket last time but this is a drop in class. Best yet when close 2nd in French 7f Group 3; shade flat since; first 6f run since debut.
7
6th (7) (3/1 +25%) Zoum Zoum
3
3/1(+25%)
(7) Zoum Zoum 3/1, Unbeaten as a juvenile and produced a smart performance when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) 15 days ago. Well worth his place in this grade on that evidence and looks a danger to all. Second in 7f Group 3 in April; well suited by drop to 6f when C&D handicap winner latest.
4
7th (4) (9/1 -80%) Russet Gold
9
9/1(-80%)
(4) Russet Gold 9/1, Found improvement when close second of 7 in listed race at Newmarket and back sprinting, he confirmed he's an improved model despite failing to win this term when third at Ascot last month. Should be in the mix. Winless since June 2023 but good 3rd in 6f Group 3 at Ascot latest; close up with a repeat.
11
8th (11) (40/1 +39%) Vicario
40
40/1(+39%)
(11) Vicario 40/1, Lope De Vega filly who was knocking on the door prior to opening her account with a bit to spare in 4-runner handicap at Haydock in August. Came up short upped in grade at Ayr last time, however, and similar story likely to unfold here. Looked promising when winning first 6f attempt but a long way from repeating it next time.
1
9th (1) (17/2 -13%) Korker
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(1) Korker 17/2, Dual winner last autumn but his issues at the stalls have stopped him fulfilling his full potential, doing well to finish third the Ayr Gold Cup in September. Fifth of 9 in Group 3 company at Ascot since and a player if this is well run. Consistent of late; not far away in 6f Group 3 at Ascot latest; this easier test can suit.
9
10th (9) (80/1 -21%) Eminny
80
80/1(-21%)
(9) Eminny 80/1, Fared as well as could be expected when fifth of 6 to Grey's Monument in listed race at Redcar (7f) last month and subsequent performance in a C&D handicap confirms she's booked for a struggle. Work to do on Listed runs and also when behind Zoum Zoum over C&D last time.
2
11th (2) (17/2 +15%) Ramazan
8.5
17/2(+15%)
(2) Ramazan 17/2, Smart handicapper who was back at the very top of his game when runner-up in Great St Wilfrid at Ripon. Mid-field in Ayr Gold Cup subsequently (met with trouble in running) bit wasn't in top form when third of 6 in listed company at Redcar latest (7f). Some cracking efforts in major 7f/6f handicaps; close up in 7f Listed race (soft) latest.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
ZOUM ZOUM appeared to appreciate the drop back to 6f when running out a ready winner over this track and trip last month and, with forecast underfoot conditions set to suit, he gets a tentative vote for the red-hot Ralph Beckett team. Course winner Room Service was far from disgraced when finishing runner-up in a hot York handicap over 6f last month and he looks the main danger to the selection. Russet Gold and Ramazan are a couple of others to consider.
Three-year-olds ROOM SERVICE and Zoum Zoum graduate from handicap company but such was the impression the pair created last time, they bring very solid form to the table. Marginal preference is for the former, who showed what he could do at this track when a decisive winner of a sales race last year. Of the rest, a stiff 6f could be what Russet Gold requires so he's on the shortlist.
Room Service has potential and Russet Gold was 3rd in a Group 3 last time but ZOUM ZOUM can improve on a recent C&D win.
(6) Harbour Lake 3/1, Proved well suited by the step up to 3m when placed in big-field handicaps at Cheltenham and Haydock in the spring. Will be very competitive if returning from a 6-month break in similar form. In good heart in the spring & solid claims if reappearing in similar form; effective here.
8
2nd (8) (6/4 +50%) Guard The Moon
1.5
6/4(+50%)
(8) Guard The Moon 6/4, Came good over hurdles in 23f Hexham maiden in May and followed up in 21f Warwick handicap 5 months later. Just kept up to his work last time and a 6 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him, particularly with the step back up in trip in his favour. Won on handicap debut at Warwick last month & form has been franked by the clear runner-up.
9
3rd (9) (5/1 +17%) Magical King
5
5/1(+17%)
(9) Magical King 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler who gained a deserved first success when landing a 2½m Wetherby novice in February. Creditable second in 21f handicap there the following month. Steps up to 3m for the first time on his reappearance. Has a less-exposed profile than most of these. Ended last season in good form and could be in the mix if seeing out the trip on return.
7
4th (7) (9/1 +25%) Willaston
9
9/1(+25%)
(7) Willaston 9/1, Three-time hurdle winner since joining Mark Walford and returned from a break to finish a creditable third of 8 at Uttoxeter (2½m) 3 weeks ago. Each-way claims back up at 3m. Returned from break with fair third at Uttoxeter last month and he has an each-way chance.
3
5th (3) (13/2 -8%) Reverend Hubert
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(3) Reverend Hubert 13/2, Useful winning form over fences at up to 3m during the summer. Stayed on for a creditable seventh of 24 in Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2¼m) back on the Flat last month. His mark isn't obviously generous judged on his hurdle form but this stable's runners always need monitoring in the betting. Irish raider; ran well in the Cesarewitch latest and not discounted in first jumps h'cap.
1
6th (1) (25/1 -150%) Stolen Silver
25
25/1(-150%)
(1) Stolen Silver 25/1, Very smart chaser at his best but made early mistakes when pulled up on his Chepstow reappearance 4 weeks ago. Reverts to hurdles for the first time in over 3½ years on the back of that. Pulled up last month but may have needed the run; well handicapped on chase form.
2
7th (2) (25/1 -317%) Bold Endeavour
25
25/1(-317%)
(2) Bold Endeavour 25/1, Very useful hurdler and chaser at his best for Nicky Henderson in recent seasons, including fourth of 22 in the Final of this series at the Cheltenham Festival in March. Below par in 2 starts later in the spring. Has rejoined Laura Morgan ahead of this first outing for 6 months. Fourth in the Pertemps Final last March and now 2lb lower; could have big say on return.
5
|PU| (5) (100/1 -150%) Slip Of The Tongue
100
100/1(-150%)
(5) Slip Of The Tongue 100/1, Out of sorts over fences for Padraig Roche in Ireland earlier in the year. A watching brief is advised back hurdling for his new stable. Chase form has been patchy; may be best watched now back hurdling on stable debut.
13:30 Aintree Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
GUARD THE MOON took another step forward when scoring on his handicap debut at Warwick last month and a 6lb rise might prove to be lenient. The son of Pether's Moon shaped as if this step up in distance could unlock further improvement and he looks the one to beat. Harbour Lake has made the frame in deep handicaps on each of his last two starts and has to be taken seriously. Magical King is the pick of the remainder.
GUARD THE MOON is taken to defy the handicapper and complete a hat-trick, with the step back up in trip promising to see him in an even better light. Harbour Lake ran well in a couple of warm handicaps in the spring and might provide the main threat if resuming in similar form. Willaston and Magical King are others likely to have a say.
The lightly raced GUARD THE MOON is a 6yo on the up and can make it 2-2 in handicaps.
(23) Let's Avit 150/1, Hooded for 1st time, last of 13 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.9f, good to soft, 66/1) 124 days ago. RESERVE. Has shown very little over hurdles; tongue-tie replaces hood; readily passed over; reserve.
2
1st (2) (15/8 -25%) Casheldale Lad
1.875
15/8(-25%)
(2) Casheldale Lad 15/8, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Liffeydale Dreamer and won 9f maiden at Punchestown for Andrew Kinirons on sole start on Flat. Makes plenty of appeal now setting out over hurdles for top yard. Hooded. Held a Triumph Hurdle entry last season and is an intriguing debutant for Gordon Elliott.
5
2nd (5) (22/1 +12%) Harry's Dream
22
22/1(+12%)
(5) Harry's Dream 22/1, Fair in bumpers, though ran a bit below form when eighth of 25 in bumper (33/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) on final outing. Off 6 months. Makes hurdle bow. Runner-up in a bumper here on debut; found a nice starting point on hurdling bow.
4
3rd (4) (50/1 -25%) Dream Diamond
50
50/1(-25%)
(4) Dream Diamond 50/1, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to useful 2½m hurdle winner Weveallbeencaught. Last of 6 finishers sole start in points (Apr 20). Half-brother to Weveallbeencaught but never a factor on sole point-to-point start.
1
4th (1) (80/1 -21%) Ardera Gun
80
80/1(-21%)
(1) Ardera Gun 80/1, Little impact in 2 maiden hurdles. Encouraging runs in bumpers but has been beaten out of sight in two maiden hurdles.
3
5th (3) (25/1 +24%) Cyrus Field
25
25/1(+24%)
(3) Cyrus Field 25/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to useful 2½m hurdle winner O'Moore Park and bumper winner Squadron Commander. Sixth foal; half-brother to a couple winners but probably best watched on his debut.
7
6th (7) (25/1 +0%) Kaikoura
25
25/1(+0%)
(7) Kaikoura 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who shaped with only a little encouragement when sixth of 14 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 12 days ago. Modest improvement when remote sixth at Wexford (16.5f) last month; more needed.
17
7th (17) (14/1 +44%) Miss Corby
14
14/1(+44%)
(17) Miss Corby 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 17 in bumper at Cork (16.3f, good). Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Failed to build on debut promise in Cork bumper; market will guide on her hurdling debut.
8
8th (8) (15/2 -7%) Kazakh D'arthel
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(8) Kazakh D'arthel 15/2, Went off too hard in a first-time hood when pulled up in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 12 days ago. Posted a good second on Listowel hurdling debut the time before and is better judged on that for now. Pleasing Irish debut but pulled up last time at Wexford; has ability but is risky.
15
9th (15) (200/1 -100%) Stily
200
200/1(-100%)
(15) Stily 200/1, Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles. Jumping left a lot to be desired when tailed off in a pair of maiden hurdles at Galway.
16
10th (16) (18/1 -157%) Madam Jess
18
18/1(-157%)
(16) Madam Jess 18/1, Showed more than on debut when third of 11 in bumper at Punchestown (15.8f, good) 25 days ago. Makes hurdles bow. Best work at the finish when 3rd in Punchestown mares' bumper; interesting on hurdling bow.
18
11th (18) (125/1 -89%) Morell River
125
125/1(-89%)
(18) Morell River 125/1, Showed a bit on second hurdle start at Gowran but was disappointing switched to a bumper at Punchestown (16.3f, good) last time. Had to be given reminders early on when tailed off in Punchestown bumper; hard to fancy.
10
12th (10) (2/1 +33%) Le Bugiste
2
2/1(+33%)
(10) Le Bugiste 2/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France (stays 15.5f), successful in handicap last time. Has left P. Decouz. Interesting hurdling debutant. Dam is half-sister to Francin and Rubaud; of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
9
13th (9) (150/1 -50%) Kingkong Ciergues
150
150/1(-50%)
(9) Kingkong Ciergues 150/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdles. Well held at big prices in three starts under rules; looks one for handicaps down the line.
19
14th (19) (66/1 0%) Sylvia's Secret
66
66/1(0%)
(19) Sylvia's Secret 66/1, Dansant filly. Dam (c91/h82) point winner, maiden under Rules (stayed 2½m). Third foal; dam point winner, half-sister to winners; of little interest on her debut.
14
15th (14) (14/1 +13%) Status Green
14
14/1(+13%)
(14) Status Green 14/1, Fair Flat winner who returned to form when fourth of 16 in handicap at Roscommon (12.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Could have a future over hurdles. All of his best form is on soft and he might find a couple too good on his hurdling bow.
6
16th (6) (200/1 -33%) Indy Rules
200
200/1(-33%)
(6) Indy Rules 200/1, Well held in a brace of maiden hurdles. Beaten out of sight in a pair of maiden hurdles and is bred to get much further than this.
12
|RO| (12) (16/1 -146%) Pearl Of Australia
16
16/1(-146%)
(12) Pearl Of Australia 16/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (should stay 1½m), ran no sort of race last time. Makes hurdle debut for in-form yard. Noel Meade is a dab hand at improving one over hurdles so watch the market.
13:37 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LE BUGISTE won three times in France, all over staying trips, including when making all in a 15-runner 1m6f Vichy handicap in July, and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to Kazakh D'arthel, who was runner-up at the Listowel Festival before disappointing at Wexford. Casheldale Lad scored on debut for Andrew Kinirons in a 1m1f Punchestown maiden nearly 14 months ago and now reappears over hurdles for powerful connections. Pearl Of Australia won a 1m2f Roscommon maiden last year and is another making his debut over hurdles, along with 1m1f Tipperary handicap winner Status Green.
CASHELDALE LAD ran to a fairly useful level when winning a Punchestown maiden on his sole Flat start for Andrew Kinirons last year and, having joined Gordon Elliott ahead of this switch to hurdling, he makes plenty of appeal. Le Bugiste is another interesting recruit given his Flat ability, while Kazakh d'Arthel is better judged on his opening effort in this sphere having gone off too hard in a first-time hood at Wexford on his most recent outing.
CASHELDALE LAD has a lengthy absence to overcome but he held a Triumph Hurdle entry last season and is clearly highly regarded
(10) Larchmont Lass 11/4, Useful listed bumper winner and came good over hurdles in a C&D novice in February. Not seen to best effect in a couple of handicaps in the spring and very interesting on this return to action after wind surgery. C&D novice winner last season and should have improvement to come in handicaps this term.
5
2nd (5) (16/1 +11%) Porter In The Park
16
16/1(+11%)
(5) Porter In The Park 16/1, Pair of wins over 3m+ earlier in the year. Shaped as if better for first outing in 10 weeks when fifth over 25f at Huntingdon last month but this test might be sharper than ideal. In career-best form this spring/summer; safely held last month, after a short break.
7
3rd (7) (11/1 +45%) Greyval
11
11/1(+45%)
(7) Greyval 11/1, Dual winner in her juvenile season but has drawn a blank since, finishing last of 6 in 2m Stratford handicap last month. Remains to be seen whether a significant step up in trip sparks an upturn in her fortunes. Fair form over 2m this year; probably needs this new trip to unlock improvement.
8
4th (8) (14/1 +0%) The Height Of Fame
14
14/1(+0%)
(8) The Height Of Fame 14/1, Stuck on 21.5f Newton Abbot reappearance in July. Went close at Worcester the following month but not in the same form the last twice. In career-best form this summer but well held when fourth at Hereford last month.
2
5th (2) (11/4 +45%) Pretending
2.75
11/4(+45%)
(2) Pretending 11/4, Ended last season with a win in a big-field event at Cheltenham (2½m) in April and improved again to score on her Uttoxeter reappearance 22 days ago. Raised another 6 lb but further progress can't be ruled out in her current mood. Collected good prize in the spring and was in even better form at Uttoxeter last month.
4
6th (4) (16/1 +0%) Space Voyage
16
16/1(+0%)
(4) Space Voyage 16/1, Bounced back to form to win a 2½m Perth handicap in April and creditable fifth of 14 at Aintree the following month. Can be competitive if fully primed after 6 months off. Narrow winner at Perth in April but not quite in same form in May; cheekpieces refitted.
11
7th (11) (13/2 +19%) Mermaids Cave
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(11) Mermaids Cave 13/2, Landed a fourth win since switching to Jame Owen when leading late on over 19.5f at Bangor (heavy) 11 days ago. Just as effective on a sounder surface. Should give another good account. 4-7 for this stable since claimed out of a seller; may still have more to offer.
13
8th (13) (20/1 +20%) Pure Theatre
20
20/1(+20%)
(13) Pure Theatre 20/1, Tasted success twice in mares' hurdles in spring 2023 but has been more miss than hit since. Labouring a long way out switched to fences at Fontwell in September and quickly returns to the smaller obstacles. Back hurdling after disappointing chase debut; may find this too competitive.
3
9th (3) (8/1 +0%) All The Glory
8
8/1(+0%)
(3) All The Glory 8/1, Improved when taking the EBF Mares' Final at Newbury (2½m, good to soft) in March. A bit better than the result in a couple of warm handicaps at Market Rasen over the summer and returns from a break with the yard going well. Not discounted. Comfortable winner of Grade 2 mares' handicap at Newbury in March and only 6lb higher here.
1
10th (1) (28/1 -180%) Sabrina
28
28/1(-180%)
(1) Sabrina 28/1, Produced a career best refitted with cheekpieces when winning 11-runner C&D handicap in April. Merely added to her patchy record when pulled up at Haydock the following month. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance. Cobden on the yard's other runner. C&D winner in first-time cheekpieces in April but pulled up next time; hard to predict.
12
11th (12) (28/1 -56%) Strong Belle
28
28/1(-56%)
(12) Strong Belle 28/1, Bagged 2m mares' maiden at Bangor in February but only fifth of 6 on her completed start in handicaps since. Others are more obvious. Ought to have been suited by heavy ground when only fifth of six last month, after a break.
9
12th (9) (12/1 -50%) Bethpage
12
12/1(-50%)
(9) Bethpage 12/1, Progressive mare who completed the hat-trick in good style at Southwell in June. Good efforts in defeat twice since and likely to be in the thick of things again. Won her first three handicaps and has been placed twice since; probably in the mix again.
13:45 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
This looks a wide-open event in which the hat-trick seeking Pretending is likely to attract plenty of support after his convincing success off 6lb lower at Uttoxeter last month. However, a chance can be taken on MERMAIDS CAVE, who might have been value for more than the winning margin suggests at Bangor on her latest outing. James Owen's five-year-old only has a 4lb higher mark to contend with and the step back up in trip looks a good move. Larchmont Lass and Bethpage are two others to consider.
Two defeats in the spring shouldn't be taken to suggest LARCHMONT LASS can't do some damage from this sort of mark and she can make a successful return from wind surgery back at the scene of her novice win. Mermaids Cave is yet another who has thrived for the switch to James Owen and is next on the list ahead of Pretending and Bethpage.
This can go to ALL THE GLORY (nap), who is of strong interest if judged on her emphatic 2m4f win at Newbury in March.
(4) Humble Jumble 13/8, £30,000 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Dam (b89) placed in bumpers out of hurdler/chaser (2½m-2¾m winner) Sunami Storm. Interesting newcomer. £30,000 3yo; second foal; dam twice-raced (third in a bumper); respected newcomer.
1
2nd (1) (4/1 -191%) Beyond The Verge
4
4/1(-191%)
(1) Beyond The Verge 4/1, Has an ordinary pedigree but belied odds of 18/1 and looked potentially above average when scoring over C&D first time out. More to come and should go well again. Recent good-ground winner here who might vulnerable under a penalty.
3
3rd (3) (7/2 +86%) Gonnino
3.5
7/2(+86%)
(3) Gonnino 7/2, Doyen gelding. Dam (c100/h100), bumper/17f hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m), half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Hello George. 17,500euros foal; lots of stamina in his pedigree so may need further.
8
4th (8) (16/1 -220%) Joto
16
16/1(-220%)
(8) Joto 16/1, Out of a bumper winner but only sixth at Sedgefield on debut. May have learned from that, so step up isn't out of the question. Ran in snatches when well held on good to soft at Sedgefield but she did go off favourite.
2
5th (2) (13/2 +0%) Burning It Up
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(2) Burning It Up 13/2, €25,000 3-y-o, £35,000 4-y-o, Milan gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner Gaillimh A Chroi out of 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m) Burnt Out. Third on only outing in Irish points (Apr 28). Bought for £35,000 after finishing third in an Irish point earlier this year.
7
6th (7) (15/2 +25%) Smart Bucks
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(7) Smart Bucks 15/2, Buck's Boum gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) Lady Buttons. Worth monitoring in the betting for all that he'll probably come into his own further down the line. Out of an unraced half-sister to high-class jumper Lady Buttons.
6
7th (6) (66/1 -65%) King Gold Boy
66
66/1(-65%)
(6) King Gold Boy 66/1, Brave Mansonnien gelding. Dam maiden hurdler. Doesn't make much appeal on paper. Dam placed over hurdles in France, out of maiden half-sister to Oh Crick.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BEYOND THE VERGE overcame inexperience to make a successful start to his career over C&D in September and although he has to carry a 7lb winner's penalty today, he shaped like he would have learned plenty from that experience and should have more to offer now. Humble Jumble cost 30,000 pounds last year and is an interesting newcomer for Lucinda Russell, while Burning It Up showed promise when third in a point-to-point and must be respected having been subsequently purchased for 35,000 pounds.
BEYOND THE VERGE, who caused an upset when successful first time out over C&D, could be above avaerage and can follow up under a penalty. Humble Jumble is another one to be interested in first-time out.
There's not much to go on but HUMBLE JUMBLE looks an interesting newcomer, with Beyond The Verge perhaps vulnerable with his penalty
(1) Imperial Saint 5/6, Dual-winning hurdler who found improvement when making a winning start over fences in 7-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 13 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and may have more to offer yet. Won on chase debut over C&D a fortnight ago and could have lots more to offer over fences.
7
2nd (7) (8/1 +60%) Magistrato
8
8/1(+60%)
(7) Magistrato 8/1, Proved consistent in the last 12 months, including a win at Newton Abbot (16.3f) in July. No match for winner the last twice but he ran worth with credit on both occasions. Won at Newton Abbot in July and has continued in pretty good heart, but this is tougher.
8
3rd (8) (28/1 -27%) Calgary Tiger
28
28/1(-27%)
(8) Calgary Tiger 28/1, Free-going sort who left hurdles form well behind when winning first 2 starts over fences early last year and posted best effort since when second at Worcester (16.5f) in June. Well below form at Stratford last time, however, and makes limited appeal. Back to form at Worcester in June but well beaten at Stratford in July; something to prove.
2
4th (2) (9/2 +0%) Coastguard Station
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(2) Coastguard Station 9/2, Produced a career-best effort to resume winning ways in 2m Uttoxeter handicap chase in June and not disgraced in better company at Cheltenham latest. Should give another good account. Two chase wins in first half of year and this return to a less-demanding track could help.
3
5th (3) (40/1 -186%) El Borracho
40
40/1(-186%)
(3) El Borracho 40/1, Become well handicapped but not scored for some time and finished weakly when last home at Kelso a fortnight ago. Continues to drop down the weights but he was tailed off at Kelso a fortnight ago.
5
6th (5) (12/1 -50%) Jack Holiday
12
12/1(-50%)
(5) Jack Holiday 12/1, Gambled-on and got off the mark for this yard at Wexford in August and added to that success in emphatic fashion at Killarney (17f) last month. Posted creditable third (off 10 lb higher) at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) since and ought tp go well again here. Has done well since joining this yard and was third at Kelso last time; chance.
6
7th (6) (11/2 -38%) Hunter Legend
5.5
11/2(-38%)
(6) Hunter Legend 11/2, Maiden hurdler but this half-brother to the yard's very smart chaser Cepage confirmed previous chasing promise when winning heavy-ground handicaps at Lingfield (22.1f) and Bangor (17.4f) in March. Faces different conditions on return here but must enter calculations. Won final two starts last season and this unexposed 7yo could continue to progress.
4
8th (4) (40/1 -186%) Grey Diamond
40
40/1(-186%)
(4) Grey Diamond 40/1, Useful handicap chaser at best but little impact in handful of starts for Gordon Elliott and he's not looked a winner in waiting in a trio of starts for current connections, third of 5 in Wetherby handicap chase latest. Continues to tumble down the weights, however. Mark continues to fall but this 10yo has to produce something extra if he's to exploit it.
14:05 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Imperial Saint has to be of interest after his success over C&D a couple of weeks ago and that followed another victory at Ffos Las on his final outing of last season. That said, preference is for HUNTER LEGEND, who is also seeking a hat-trick and is only 6lb higher than his 15-length triumph at Bangor in March. The rest all need to find some improvement, but Coastguard Station is the pick of them.
IMPERIAL SAINT was aided by a late mishap to his main challenger when scoring over C&D last month but he remains with potential in this sphere and can follow up. Hunter Legend and Coastguard Station rate the principal dangers.
Point winner IMPERIAL SAINT made a pleasing start to his chasing career when winning over C&D two weeks ago and can follow up.
(5) But What 10/3, Promising type. Third of 18 in novice hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft, 9/2) on hurdles bow. Off 14 months. Open to progress. Punchestown bumper winner who posted promising hurdle bow last year but off 420 days.
1
2nd (1) (11/10 +45%) Addragoole
1.1
11/10(+45%)
(1) Addragoole 11/10, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 4/1, very good second of 14 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago, clear of rest. Hood on 1st time. The one to beat. 2nd all 4 outings and best run yet at Galway when a long way clear of remainder; hood on.
3
3rd (3) (11/4 +66%) Blaze The Way
2.75
11/4(+66%)
(3) Blaze The Way 11/4, Promising type. 85/40, third of 9 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.5f, good) 28 days ago. Should have more to offer. Bumper winner; not as good over hurdles twice since; win came on heavy.
8
4th (8) (66/1 +0%) Monroes Hollow
66
66/1(+0%)
(8) Monroes Hollow 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 33/1, sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) on debut in this sphere 14 days ago, considerately handled. Minor promise in bumpers; tailed off on recent hurdle bow and plenty to find.
2
5th (2) (18/1 -13%) Bayrann
18
18/1(-13%)
(2) Bayrann 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, fifth of 6 in bumper at Clonmel (16.8f, good) 37 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and sports a first-time hood. Promise in 3 bumper runs; couldn't pick up from rear latest; fine on ground; place claims.
4
6th (4) (22/1 0%) Bridie's Beau
22
22/1(0%)
(4) Bridie's Beau 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 5/1, first run since leaving Paul Nicholls when eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 14 days ago, not knocked about. Promise in bumpers in Britain; didn't jump well on yard debut; second string.
17
7th (17) (80/1 -60%) Phildante
80
80/1(-60%)
(17) Phildante 80/1, First run since leaving Roger McGrath when tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.5f, good to soft, 33/1) 16 days ago. Minor promise in bumpers but tailed off on yard/hurdle debut and plenty to find.
10
8th (10) (16/1 +43%) Sheriffhill
16
16/1(+43%)
(10) Sheriffhill 16/1, Westerner gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/chaser Three Stars, and half-brother to 3 winners, including dual bumper winner/smart hurdler Soaring Glory. Pulled up sole start between the flags. Pulled up in a point when last seen and this looks like a huge ask on rules debut.
6
9th (6) (25/1 +0%) I Ballyadam Moon
25
25/1(+0%)
(6) I Ballyadam Moon 25/1, €18,000 3-y-o, Spanish Moon gelding. Dam placed once over fences in France. Runner-up on 3 of his 5 starts between the flags and could have a future under Rules. Tongue strap applied. 2nd in point when last seen in May 2023 and form worked out; market good guide to fitness.
9
9th (9) (80/1 -60%) Roc My Haarth
80
80/1(-60%)
(9) Roc My Haarth 80/1, Shirocco gelding. Dam point winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Irish Cavalier. Entitled to come on for the run. Shirocco gelding; dam half-sister to Shattered Love and Irish Cavalier; may want further.
15
|U| (15) (200/1 -33%) Light Of Life
200
200/1(-33%)
(15) Light Of Life 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle (25/1) at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 12 days ago, tailed off when pulled up 2 out. Promise in Cork bumper in 2022 but shown nothing since and pulled up at Wexford last week.
14
11th (14) (200/1 -33%) Frenchfort Legend
200
200/1(-33%)
(14) Frenchfort Legend 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under Rules. 100/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) on hurdles bow 28 days ago. Down in trip. Tailed off at huge odds in both runs so far.
16
12th (16) (33/1 +34%) Mollys Kingdom
33
33/1(+34%)
(16) Mollys Kingdom 33/1, Modest hurdler. Fifth of 8 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Galway (16f, soft) 13 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Looks vulnerable. 2nd in maiden hurdle here last month over further but not as good twice since.
13
13th (13) (250/1 -67%) Eugenious
250
250/1(-67%)
(13) Eugenious 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Cork (20.4f, good) 27 days ago. Back down in trip. Hasn't shown enough in two runs at massive odds so far.
14:12 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ADDRAGOOLE has bumped into some useful sorts of late and can gain a deserved win. The Gatewood gelding chased home Sporting Glory on his return to hurdling at Galway last time, giving way going to the last and running a fine race in defeat. His fitness advantage could prove the key now. Gordon Elliott runs Gigginstown gelding Jersey Des Brosses, who may do better over obstacles. The French-bred dramatically unshipped his rider when last seen in a Bellewstown bumper back in April. Workahead was a cosy winner of his point-to-point and commands respect on his first outing for Henry de Bromhead.
If the market vibes surrounding WORKAHEAD are positive the hint should be taken. Indeed, he did the job well when scoring on his sole start between the flags and is armed with plenty of potential now embarking on a career under Rules. Addragoole is the clear pick of those with experience and he is the main danger, while the likes of Blaze The Way, But What, Jersey Des Brosses and Whatsanotheryear are all open to improvement.
This looks like a good opportunity for ADDRAGOOLE to get off the mark after a career-best 2nd latest and he sets the standard
(1) Boombawn 8/1, Useful hurdler who made the perfect start over fences when scoring at Warwick in May. Decent efforts in defeat since, including back from a break when third in listed novice chase at Chepstow (19.5f, good) latest. Not out of things. Closely matched with Insurrection on Chepstow form; did have the benefit of a run.
5
2nd (5) (9/2 -13%) Soul Icon
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(5) Soul Icon 9/2, Multiple winner over hurdles who has progressed steadily in this sphere, producing a career best when close second in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (21.4f, good to firm) in July. Goes well fresh and is not taken lightly here. Multiple hurdle winner; 0-7 over fences but strong form in defeat; solid credentials.
4
3rd (4) (9/5 +35%) Insurrection
1.8
9/5(+35%)
(4) Insurrection 9/5, Dual winner over timber who made an encouraging start over the larger obstacles when second of 5 in listed novice chase at Chepstow (19.4f, good, 9/2) 28 days ago. Likely more to come yet and holds strong claims. Did well over hurdles for a work in progress; very pleasing second on recent chase debut.
2
4th (2) (14/1 -17%) Glynn
14
14/1(-17%)
(2) Glynn 14/1, Lightly raced for his age and really got the hang of this game in recent months, completing hat-trick in 4-runner Newton Abbot novice (21f) in September. Posted another solid effort when runner-up in C&D handicap last month but is in n deeper company now. Will need his best yet to win this Grade 2 but looks a good bet to give his running.
3
|F| (3) (7/4 +13%) Handstands
1.75
7/4(+13%)
(3) Handstands 7/4, Won on sole outing in points before landing his first 3 starts (at up to 20.3f) over hurdles for Ben Pauling last term. Limitations exposed in Baring Bingham Novices' at Cheltenham but he's an exciting recruit to this discipline. Relinquished his unbeaten hurdling record at the Cheltenham Festival; nice prospect.
14:23 Wincanton Maiden Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Handstands has to be of interest on his return to action having shown plenty of promise over hurdles last season. That said, INSURRECTION was second to a useful rival on his chasing bow over 2m3f at Chepstow four weeks ago and that recent run may just give him the edge here. Boombawn was a close third on that occasion and could be in the mix once again, while Soul Icon edges out Glynn to be best of the rest.
INSURRECTION bettered his hurdles form at the first time of asking in this sphere at Chepstow last month and it's likely we haven't seen the best of him yet. He is marginally preferred to Soul Icon, who has plenty of chasing experience and only narrowly failed to land a valuable handicap at Market Rasen in the summer. Chase-debutant Handstands is also much respected in an intriguing contest.
There's every reason to believe that INSURRECTION can step up plenty on his highly encouraging chase debut effort at Chepstow.
(12) King Turgeon 9/2, Had another breathing op and took his form to a whole new level when making a winning reappearance at Chepstow 11 days ago. Carries a penalty and also out of the weights but cannot be taken too lightly. Won easily at Chepstow on return; remains to be seen where this 6yo's limitations now lie.
11
2nd (11) (16/1 +60%) Vintage Fizz
16
16/1(+60%)
(11) Vintage Fizz 16/1, Twice a winner of small-field handicap chases at around 2½m in 2023 and went close at Market Rasen on second start upon return from a break in June. Back on correct mark and returned to form when fourth at Wetherby 3 weeks ago. Some creditable performances this season but firm suspicion he'll be vulnerable today.
10
3rd (10) (10/1 +0%) Gaboriot
10
10/1(+0%)
(10) Gaboriot 10/1, Superb strike rate in recent times, winning 5 times in all (3 hunters and a couple of open handicaps). Reappears on what looks a fair mark and this strong traveller was taking well to the fences before coming unstuck at the Canal Turn previous attempt. Prolific over last 12 months or so and he's one to consider for last year's winning yard.
5
4th (5) (18/1 +18%) Richmond Lake
18
18/1(+18%)
(5) Richmond Lake 18/1, Had a prolific period in 2023, completing a four-timer in 9-runner handicap chase here in December. Semeed to lose confidence in the jumping department to end the campaign though and these fences provide a stiff test in that regard. Below par towards end of last season but a break could have helped; has last winning mark.
4
5th (4) (17/2 -6%) Sure Touch
8.5
17/2(-6%)
(4) Sure Touch 17/2, Had a productive 2022 over hurdles, winning 4 times, and further progress over fences last season, completing hat-trick at Perth in April. Picked up where he left off in the Summer Plate at Market Rasen in July, taking his form to a new level so he's a chaser on the up. Completed four-timer in Summer Plate in July; clearly progressive; respected up 6lb.
8
6th (8) (10/1 -67%) Frero Banbou
10
10/1(-67%)
(8) Frero Banbou 10/1, Losing run dates back to 2022 but he's run several fine races in defeat since, including when third in this race a year ago. Hold-up tactics didn't really suit in the Topham when last seen in April but he's an interesting contender on reappearance. Beaten on his last 16 starts but 3lb lower than when creditable 3rd in this 12 months ago.
9
7th (9) (12/1 -71%) Percussion
12
12/1(-71%)
(9) Percussion 12/1, On a lengthy losing run but he ran right up to form when second from out of the weights in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter in June. Placed in the last 2 renewals of this so these fences clearly suit and he needs considering. Beaten on his last 14 starts but excels over these fences; placed in the last two runnings.
7
8th (7) (7/2 +65%) Idalko Bihoue
3.5
7/2(+65%)
(7) Idalko Bihoue 7/2, Lost his way a little over hurdles but confirmed himself still a useful prospect over fences when winning novices' handicap at Cheltenham in October 2023. Shade disappointing both starts since but makes his reappearance with yard going very well. Has potential off this mark judged on last season's best; stable enjoying excellent autumn.
3
9th (3) (15/2 +25%) Outlaw Peter
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(3) Outlaw Peter 15/2, Ended last season going the right way over fences, landing 2m4f handicaps at Kempton and Ayr in the spring before an excellent second at Sandown. Had a breathing operation ahead of this return and there could be more to come. Progressive in the spring when last seen and he goes well fresh; firmly in calculations.
2
10th (2) (16/1 -129%) Latenightpass
16
16/1(-129%)
(2) Latenightpass 16/1, Well proven over the National fences, landing the 2022 Foxhunters, and he added to his haul in Cross Country discipline for Dan Skelton at Cheltenham in December. Completed in the Grand National back with this yard in April, only to fall short on stamina. Has had a wind op and back markedly in trip. Has fine record in the Foxhunters' over C&D; first run since wind op; could be involved.
1
11th (1) (22/1 -38%) Authorized Art
22
22/1(-38%)
(1) Authorized Art 22/1, A smart chaser for Willie Mullins who posted a good third in big-field handicap chase at Punchestown (20.4f) in July. Sound start over hurdles for new yard given 2m was a wholly inadequate test at Kempton and he's back up in trip returned to the larger obstacles. Ran well for Willie Mullins in some hot h'caps; not ruled out each-way but has lofty mark.
13
12th (13) (40/1 +0%) Galon De Vauzelle
40
40/1(+0%)
(13) Galon De Vauzelle 40/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Listowel (23.8f, soft) 29 days ago, forging clear. Winter ground is his forte but no easy task here from 4 lb out of the weights. Won easily at Listowel latest but he's exposed & wrong at the weights; needs a career best.
6
|PU| (6) (14/1 0%) Harper's Brook
14
14/1(0%)
(6) Harper's Brook 14/1, Has his quirks but more than fair share of ability too, left clear when successful at Sandown in February. Disappointing in a visor in the Gran Annual on final start for Ben Pauling and fascinating to see what Dan Skelton can do with him this season on the back of a breathing op. Has a tendency to idle in front but no surprise to see a big run on stable/seasonal debut.
14:40 Aintree Handicap Chase (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Latenightpass has a good record on this course and should not be underestimated, although a mark of 147 appears to be stiff enough. As a result, the vote goes to PERCUSSION, who has been placed in the last two renewals of this contest. The nine-year-old was second off this mark in a valuable event at Uttoxeter when last seen in June and he has to be high on the shortlist. Frero Banbou disappointed in the Topham in April but is 3lb lower than when third in this race 12 months ago, while Sure Touch and Outlaw Peter are others to note.
The looks really open with LATENIGHTPASS awarded the vote primarily due to his superb record over the National fences with this drop in trip sure to help his cause on return to action. Percussion has been placed in the last 2 renewals of this race so he commands plenty of respect, while a case can also be made for the likes of Frero Banbou, Harper's Brook and Sure Touch.
The 6yo IDALKO BIHOUE (nap) was impressive at Cheltenham last October and is the pick with his stable having an excellent autumn.
(9) Sonny May 4/1, 28/1, bit below form fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive. Fourth of 16 after a lengthy absence at Fairyhouse last month; needs to build on that now.
3
2nd (3) (11/2 -10%) Disco Dancer
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(3) Disco Dancer 11/2, 5/1, good third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Not taken lightly. Bumper winner is only 1-11 over hurdles but she has posted some good runs in defeat.
1
3rd (1) (17/2 -13%) Run For Harry
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(1) Run For Harry 17/2, Two wins from 3 runs this year, the latest at Downpatrick in June. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, soft, 12/1) 99 days ago. Failed to back recent wins up off at Galway on soft but a player if the track dries out.
6
4th (6) (6/1 +0%) Serienmond
6
6/1(+0%)
(6) Serienmond 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, good to soft, 15/2) 30 days ago. Down in trip and should go well. Second from the front at Tramore last month but the drop in trip should suit.
8
5th (8) (20/1 +39%) Queen Nel
20
20/1(+39%)
(8) Queen Nel 20/1, C&D winner. Fifth of 8 in novice hurdle (18/1) at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 12 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Plenty to find on form. Struggled in four outings for her new yard and decent ground might not be to her liking.
4
6th (4) (7/1 -75%) Glen Kiln
7
7/1(-75%)
(4) Glen Kiln 7/1, 5/2, running well fell in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.6f, heavy). Off 8 months and down in trip on first start having rejoined yard after leaving David Kelly. Can make presence felt. First run for new yard; might need the run after an absence and ground a negative.
5
7th (5) (16/1 0%) That's About Right
16
16/1(0%)
(5) That's About Right 16/1, Three wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Downpatrick in September. 10/1, good third of 8 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, heavy) 12 days ago. More needed. Won three of his last six starts in handicaps, all over much further; trip is a worry.
2
8th (2) (8/1 -14%) Beau Walking
8
8/1(-14%)
(2) Beau Walking 8/1, Fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Galway (21.4f, heavy, 9/4) 13 days ago. Down in trip for this handicap debut and improvement is not out of the question. Placed in all five maiden hurdles last season on soft/heavy; trip and ground are concerns.

20/1(+20%)
(11) Mercury Mission 20/1, First run since leaving Michael John O'Connor when fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Others preferred. No show on first run for Philip Rothwell but he could be competitive from a reduced mark.
12
|PU| (12) (13/2 +41%) Single Edition
6.5
13/2(+41%)
(12) Single Edition 13/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good) 25 days ago. Appeals as the type to bounce back quickly and will be a danger to all if able to do just that. Bumper winner has yet to score over hurdles and he's another likely pace angle.

|PU| (7) (14/1 -115%) Marlpark
14
14/1(-115%)
(7) Marlpark 14/1, Career best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle (11/4) at Clonmel (16.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Another step forward needed now pitched into a handicap. Could be fairly treated off 107 on his handicap debut but he will have hassle for the lead.
14:47 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SERIENMOND ran a big race on his handicap debut at Tramore last month and dropping back in trip should suit now. The Sea The Moon gelding soon went clear that day and was only nabbed late on by Rampere West. Off a 3lb higher mark, he looks capable of winning a race of this standard. Disco Dancer has been knocking on the door and was a solid third at Downpatrick last time. She is entitled to be thereabouts again. Marlpark won his maiden hurdle at Clonmel in good style 16 days ago and, despite going up 12lb, he could be competitive now in handicap company.
A first hurdles success could be on the cards for SINGLE EDITION, who was knocking firmly on the door prior to a below-par display at Punchestown last month and he appeals as the type to bounce back quickly. Disco Dancer is pretty consistent on the whole and rates the main danger ahead of Glen Kiln and Vadsa Queen.
With lots of pace on, it should leave the door open for VADSA QUEEN to stalk the leaders and pounce on the turn for home
(1) Rubaud 11/10, Made up into a smart hurdler last term, taking a Kempton listed race before following up in this race 3 weeks later. Limitations exposed slightly at a higher level to end the season but he's charting a similar path this term having produced a career best when successful in that Kempton race again. Potent front-runner on good ground and he impressed in winning this 12 months ago.
3
2nd (3) (2/1 -14%) Brentford Hope
2
2/1(-14%)
(3) Brentford Hope 2/1, Talented on the Flat and enhanced excellent strike rate over hurdles with a brace of handicap wins in March, Even better form when runner-up off top-weight at Punchestown a month later and that makes him a major player. Has come a long way in the last two years and latest handicap second his best run yet.
2
3rd (2) (3/1 +40%) Aspire Tower
3
3/1(+40%)
(2) Aspire Tower 3/1, Well prepared following 8 months off when landing 4-runner minor hurdle at Punchestown last month. That snapped a losing sequence stretching back to 2020 and he'll need to step up on that level of form here. Dual Grade 2-winning hurdler and dominated a small field last time at Punchestown.

14:55 Wincanton Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 15f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Rubaud won this last year and is likely to go well once again having scored with plenty in hand at Kempton last month. That said, he may struggle to give 6lb to ASPIRE TOWER, who has not had many starts since finishing fourth in the 2021 Champion Hurdle. The eight-year-old relished the return hurdling when winning readily at Punchestown last month and he may improve for that outing. Brentford Hope progressed well last season in handicaps but this will require another step forward.
BRENTFORD HOPE showed he's still on the up as a hurdler when a cracking second at Punchestown in April and, while he doesn't have the race fitness last year's winner Rubaud has on his side, the 6 lb he receives may prove to be pivotal.
Expect RUBAUD and Aspire Tower to head off in front and there's a good chance they'll remain there in that order of preference.
(1) Deploy To Spy 4/1, Runner-up in sole bumper and impressed with the strength of his finish when making first completed start over hurdles a winning one at Uttoxeter in July. Defied a penalty in clear-cut fashion at Perth 9 weeks later and is open to further improvement now venturing into a handicap. Something to spare in novice hurdles the last twice and he's a likeable prospect.
3
2nd (3) (9/2 +0%) Prolific Profile
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(3) Prolific Profile 9/2, Showed further improvement to complete the hat-trick in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 10/3) 22 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Up in grade now but could still have more to offer. Lightly raced 5yo who is up in grade but has won his last three and holds strong claims.
5
3rd (5) (9/2 -13%) Camarrate
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(5) Camarrate 9/2, Fairly useful winner at 12f on Flat who got off the mark over hurdles in a juvenile maiden at Fakenham in April and improved when defying a penalty at Sedgefield (16.8f) the following month. Into handicaps now and likely to progress further. 4yo who won two novice hurdles in a row in the spring; has potential off h'cap debut mark.
7
4th (7) (7/1 -17%) Irish Lullaby
7
7/1(-17%)
(7) Irish Lullaby 7/1, Fairly useful stayer on Flat for Jessica Harrington. Bought for 65,000 gns in December and went 2-3 over hurdles when landing the odds in a 2m1f mares' novice at Cartmel in May. Shaped as though in need of the run 5 months later at Carlisle and better expected now. Had wind op/tongue tied. The return to better ground may help and she looks well treated judged on Flat ability.
2
5th (2) (10/1 -18%) Nayati
10
10/1(-18%)
(2) Nayati 10/1, C&D winner but has deteriorated further this season, already struggling when falling heavily usual 4 out at Kelso last time. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do. C&D winner who is on a reduced mark but this 10yo takes on some unexposed types today.
4
6th (4) (9/4 +78%) Diamond Dice
2.25
9/4(+78%)
(4) Diamond Dice 9/4, Ludlow maiden winner last season who shaped as if better for the run when third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) on reappearance 25 days ago. Remains low mileage. Respectable efforts in his first three handicaps and this 5yo is in good hands to progress.
6
7th (6) (25/1 +24%) Belvedere Blast
25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Belvedere Blast 25/1, Scored at Hexham in June but disappointing since, pulling up in handicap at Southwell last month. Passed over. Won at Hexham in June and now 1lb lower but he's struggled on his four runs since.
15:15 Aintree Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CAMARRATE was value for more than the winning margin when scoring comfortably at Sedgefield in May, and this track should suit on his return as he looks to bring up the hat-trick on his handicap debut. A mark of 112 could underestimate him and Donald McCain's charge may have too much for top-weight Deploy To Spy, who has won easily himself the last twice. A winner of his last three starts over the past two months, Prolific Profile is another who must enter calculations.
DEPLOY TO SPY has won both his completed starts over hurdles in clear-cut style and, with further improvement on the cards now entering handicap company, he's an appealing candidate. Camarrate is another unexposed handicap debutant who merits consideration, along with Irish Lullaby, who should be all the better for a recent run.
Another chance is given to IRISH LULLABY, who has potential off her current mark in view of her considerable Flat ability.
(5) Delias Pet 7/2, 7/1, improved to win 14-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 4 days ago, quickening to lead run-in and driven out. Well worth considering under a penalty. Back to form when landing h'cap hurdle at Fairyhouse Monday; 7lb penalty though.
14
2nd (14) (8/1 +60%) Ardfert Mary
8
8/1(+60%)
(14) Ardfert Mary 8/1, 16/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 4 days ago, racing in rear and never involved. Others more persuasive. 14-race maiden and no signs of a revival recently.
7
3rd (7) (8/1 +11%) Jetaway To Getaway
8
8/1(+11%)
(7) Jetaway To Getaway 8/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, soft, 14/1) 27 days ago. Not taken lightly. Showed more when 3rd over 3m latest but may not appreciate drop in trip now.
12
4th (12) (7/2 +22%) Stowaway Lass
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(12) Stowaway Lass 7/2, 12/1, creditable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, good to soft) 14 days ago. A repeat gives her definite claims here. Still involved when coming down at Limerick and good 4th at Galway since; shorter may help.
13
5th (13) (12/1 +0%) Perfectway
12
12/1(+0%)
(13) Perfectway 12/1, 12/1, showed a bit more under forcing tactics when eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 66 days ago, fading when bad mistake last. Back up in trip. Poor efforts in maiden hurdles and hasn't shown enough in handicaps since.
8
6th (8) (12/1 +0%) Joeswayornoway
12
12/1(+0%)
(8) Joeswayornoway 12/1, Unreliable type. Two wins from 44 NH runs. Unseated rider in handicap chase at this course (18f, good to firm, 12/1) 35 days ago, reluctant to set off and already tailed off prior to coming down first. Risky proposition returned to timber. No wins over hurdles since 2021; unseated latest; down to good mark but others preferred.
3
7th (3) (40/1 -60%) Petit Dejeuner
40
40/1(-60%)
(3) Petit Dejeuner 40/1, Last of 18 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago, struggling badly after 3 out. Back up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Tailed off in 6 runs since heavy ground win at Limerick in November 2023; blinkers.
9
8th (9) (14/1 -17%) Ella Rose
14
14/1(-17%)
(9) Ella Rose 14/1, 16/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.6f, good) in May, weakening before 4 out. Overall record is patchy to say the least so only market support would make her of interest returning from 5 months off. 2nd in this last year but form nosedived since and returns from an absence this time.
4
9th (4) (33/1 -230%) Weir Lane
33
33/1(-230%)
(4) Weir Lane 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 18 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Point-to-point winner but has shown very little in four runs under rules; handicap debut.
1
10th (1) (10/1 0%) Lar's Lass
10
10/1(0%)
(1) Lar's Lass 10/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown (22.1f) in February. Good fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Ballinrobe (21.4f, good) in May and may of needed run after 5 months off when last of 12 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.6f) 32 days ago. Not dismissed lightly. Won twice over fences; good run from lower hurdles mark in May; can be forgiven latest run.
11
11th (11) (10/1 -25%) Realtin Lonrach
10
10/1(-25%)
(11) Realtin Lonrach 10/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.4f, heavy, 16/1) 12 days ago, keeping on again when hampered after last. Looks worthy of a crack back at this longer trip and she's one of the least exposed. Shown a bit more at Wexford last twice but has to prove herself at this trip and on ground.
10
12th (10) (25/1 +24%) Keyser Smokesy
25
25/1(+24%)
(10) Keyser Smokesy 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Work to do from this mark on what she's achieved to date. Tailed off in maiden hurdles and well held on h'cap debut 16 days ago; tough looking mark.
6
13th (6) (16/1 -45%) Avandra
16
16/1(-45%)
(6) Avandra 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) 34 days ago. Step up in trip needs to unlock further improvement now. 6th when beaten 13l on h'cap debut; pedigree suggests further may suit; unexposed.
2
14th (2) (14/1 +44%) Vilja Song
14
14/1(+44%)
(2) Vilja Song 14/1, 22/1, fared little better than previously when finishing tenth of 18 on handicap hurdle debut at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Encouraging 3rd in maiden hurdle; lesser efforts since incl' h'cap debut; back up in trip.
15
|PU| (15) (66/1 0%) Kp's Ladyofknock
66
66/1(0%)
(15) Kp's Ladyofknock 66/1, 150/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 28 days ago, weakening quickly. Up in trip. Hard to make a case for. Shown nothing so far and needs vast improvement for the step back up in trip.
15:22 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Not the strongest looking contest and DELIAS PET may be able to defy a 7lb penalty for her success at Fairyhouse on Tuesday. The Tim Doyle-trained mare was value for a bit more than her winning margin and probably didn't have too hard of a race. Stowaway Lass ran well when fourth at Galway on her last outing and dropping back in trip may help her now. Realtin Lonrach has run solid races on her last couple of outings and could be place material.
A tricky mares' handicap with a chance taken on veteran STOWAWAY LASS. She confirmed the promise she was in the process of showing at Limerick when a good fourth over 3m at Galway 2 weeks ago and this drop back in trip may well be in her favour now. Tuesday's Fairyhouse winner Delias Pet and Realtin Lonrach are others to consider, along with Lar's Lass.
STOWAWAY LASS has been in better form than her form figures suggest lately and the drop back in trip could be the key to her
(1) Al Dancer 25/1, Made a winning seasonal reappearance at Chepstow last term and followed that with a series of creditable efforts in defeat. Well held in a Sandown Grade 2 when last seen in April, though, and he looks vulnerable under top-weight here. Close to best on occasions last season and he's mustard when fresh; hard to dismiss.
9
2nd (9) (11/4 +21%) Lord Accord
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(9) Lord Accord 11/4, Rather went off the boil last season but belatedly cashed in on a lower hurdles mark returning from 8 weeks off at Sedgefield in September. Followed up in similarly emphatic fashion back chasing over C&D (good) last month, for which a 5 lb rise looks fair. Key player. Runner-up two years ago off 8lb higher and he's won his last two impressively.
10
3rd (10) (9/1 +55%) Gustavian
9
9/1(+55%)
(10) Gustavian 9/1, Sole success over fences to date came in 3-runner affair at Exeter back in February 2023 and he's 4 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Prone to mistakes but potentially dangerous off this mark if getting into a rhythm.
3
4th (3) (7/1 +30%) Forward Plan
7
7/1(+30%)
(3) Forward Plan 7/1, Progressive chaser who raised his game when outpointing Al Dancer in the Coral Trophy at Kempton (3m, soft) in February. Subsequent third in a big Aintree handicap was no backward step and he'll be a threat if fully tuned-up for this. 6th last year but consistent afterwards in strong staying chases; has a big run in him.
5
5th (5) (10/1 +29%) Riskintheground
10
10/1(+29%)
(5) Riskintheground 10/1, Much improved over fences since dropped back in trip, bagging his fourth success at Bangor in September. Posted another good effort when third of 11 at Cheltenham (19.8f, good) recently but more needed now upped in trip. Had a productive campaign already and the handicapper may now have his measure.
8
6th (8) (14/1 -56%) Lord Baddesley
14
14/1(-56%)
(8) Lord Baddesley 14/1, Successful over hurdles/fences at Plumpton in 2022/23. Good second of 8 in a 22.5f Newbury handicap chase last December but just respectable efforts at Kempton next 2 starts. Tongue strap enlisted on this return/debut for new yard. Interesting new addition to the Honeyball yard but has stamina to prove over this far.
6
|F| (6) (3/1 +10%) The Changing Man
3
3/1(+10%)
(6) The Changing Man 3/1, Progressive over hurdles and further step forward when splitting Stay Away Fay and Grey Dawning on chase debut at Exeter last November. Back on the up when second at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) on final start of last term (since undergone a wind op) and he's a major player in a first-time tongue strap. Interesting second-season chaser and potentially the best handicapped of these.
2
|F| (2) (16/1 -60%) Remastered
16
16/1(-60%)
(2) Remastered 16/1, Last season was a write-off but he's smart on his day and proved that plenty of ability remains when recently scoring here (26.7f, good) on return from a 6-month absence. Remains on a good mark up 5 lb and should make his presence felt. Up 5lb for narrow win here 13 days ago; not sure to be as effective again.
7
|PU| (7) (15/2 -50%) Mofasa
7.5
15/2(-50%)
(7) Mofasa 15/2, Dual hurdles winner for Michael Scudamore and positive start over fences for this yard last term, building on debut promise in this sphere when landing a 3m Huntingdon handicap last November. Well held in 3 subsequent starts but he is not one to write off. A winner off this mark and still unexposed as a chaser; trainer targets this race.
4
|PU| (4) (25/1 +0%) The Big Breakaway
25
25/1(+0%)
(4) The Big Breakaway 25/1, Now 13 lb lower compared to when finishing second in the Welsh National at Chepstow in December 2022 but hasn't come close to matching that form in 7 subsequent appearances. Opposable starting out for new yard here following 9 months off. Became hard to predict for the Tizzards and softer ground would be preferred.
15:30 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 1) 25f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
Paul Nicholls has won this valuable handicap four times in the last seven years, most recently with the excellent Frodon in 2022, and he relies on Mofasa this time around. The eight-year-old showed promise in his novice chase campaign and is open to improvement, but he will need it to land this prize and preference is for the match-fit LORD ACCORD. Neil Mulholland's charge returned to fences to make all in facile fashion over this C&D last month and while this is tougher off a 5lb higher mark, the hat-trick seeking gelding is clearly in fine form and likes it here. The Changing Man was a very encouraging second (clear of the rest) off 4lb lower in a good novice handicap at Uttoxeter in March and he's very interesting on his seasonal debut.
THE CHANGING MAN pulled a long way clear of the rest when chasing home one who rather had the run of things at Uttoxeter in March and, likely to do better still in his second season over fences, he gets the nod. The hat-trick seeking Lord Accord is next on the list ahead of Remastered, while Mofasa needs to get back on track but he will be a danger to all if able to do so off this reduced mark.
The Changing Man is interesting but one with potential to outrun his odds if he can find some rhythm in his jumping is GUSTAVIAN.
(1) Cedar Creek 10/1, Bred to be useful but unraced on Flat for Andrew Balding and he only hinted at ability when fifth of 12 in bumper at Exeter (13.2f, good to soft, 22/1) on NH debut 18 days ago. This should reveal more now tackling this longer trip. Showed something to build on when fifth at Exeter; improvement required but possible.
2
2nd (2) (3/1 -20%) Danger Nap
3
3/1(-20%)
(2) Danger Nap 3/1, Order of St George gelding. Closely related to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Soldierofthestorm, and half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Lunar Baby. Yard are 2-14 with their bumper representatives this term and he's one to consider. Yard has done well with this family; one of the more interesting newcomers.
5
3rd (5) (9/4 +68%) Linalene
2.25
9/4(+68%)
(5) Linalene 9/4, Rail Link gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair French chaser Fransleen and fair French chaser Imbattable. Dam, 2½m chase winner in France, also 1½m-1¾m winner on Flat. Newcomer to note for stable who won this 12 months ago. Plausible pedigree for a race of this nature; yard won this race with a newcomer last year.
6
4th (6) (12/1 -300%) Star Of Guiting
12
12/1(-300%)
(6) Star Of Guiting 12/1, €25,000 Vadamos gelding. Boasts a useful jumping and was well backed, yet he ran as if amiss when last of 12 in bumper at Exeter (13.2f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago, weakening quickly. In good hands and worthy of another chance. Well-backed favourite when last of 12 at Exeter; clearly thought capable of better.
7
5th (7) (25/1 +50%) Vesalius
25
25/1(+50%)
(7) Vesalius 25/1, 24,000 gns 3-y-o, Study of Man gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including useful 1m-10.5f winner in France Agave. Dam 1½m-15f winner in France. Yard 0-21 in this sphere in last 5 seasons. Has useful Flat pedigree; must be of interest despite yard's poor recent record in bumpers.
4
6th (4) (12/1 +14%) Just Johnny
12
12/1(+14%)
(4) Just Johnny 12/1, Order of St George colt. Dam, fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner), also 1m-1¼m winner on Flat. Yard 2-14 with their runners in bumpers in last 5 seasons and interesting where he figures in the market on debut. Wears hood. Stable has the odd bumper winner (2-14 last five seasons); hooded for debut.
3
7th (3) (9/2 -13%) Fran The Man
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(3) Fran The Man 9/2, Postponed gelding. Half-brother to 1m-9.5f winner Sir Charlie Kunz. Showed ability when third of 13 in bumper at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) on NH debut 32 days ago, well positioned. That was a solid start and he's one to consider with Brian Hughes booked. Third at Huntingdon sets the standard on form; should be in the thick of things again.
8
8th (8) (17/2 +74%) Poppys On Fire
8.5
17/2(+74%)
(8) Poppys On Fire 17/2, 5,000 gns 3-y-o, Gleneagles filly. Half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Chealamy. Dam smart 1¼m-1½m winner. Pedigree offers hope she can make her mark and interesting if the betting spoke in her favour. Quite a classy pedigree; stable 11-122 in bumpers last five seasons; worth considering.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
This can go the way of FRAN THE MAN, who shaped with plenty of promise when prominent throughout on debut at Huntingdon last month. The booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye on this occasion and he can get off the mark at the expense of well-bred newcomer Danger Nap. The three-year-old hails from a family that the yard knows well and he should be primed to challenge, along with fellow newcomer Linalene, whose stable landed this contest last year.
Those with previous form don't set a tall standard and it could pay to go with a newcomer in the shape of DANGER NAP. He appeals as a likely type on paper for a yard amongst the winners and earns the vote before market clues. Fran The Man following his Huntingdon debut third needs considering, with Star of Guiting not one to be writing off either. Linalene completes the shortlist for the stable that took this 12 months ago.
A tentative vote goes to the newcomer LINALENE whose pedigree fits the bill and whose stable won this race 12 months ago.
(3) Colleen Danu 11/4, 18/1, first run since leaving P. A. Fahy when sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Can make her presence felt if able to build on that. 2nd in maiden hurdle last year; shaped like retaining ability when 6th over C&D last month.
15
2nd (15) (66/1 +34%) Rebelle Chaud
66
66/1(+34%)
(15) Rebelle Chaud 66/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Naas (16f, soft). Off 7 months. Up in trip. Others make more appeal. Pulled up a long way out on return from lengthy layoff when last seen; off 219 days.
10
3rd (10) (13/2 0%) It's Time Again
6.5
13/2(0%)
(10) It's Time Again 13/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Very good second of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft, 33/1) 21 days ago. Merits consideration. Both wins came at Ballinrobe in May 2022; went close to ending losing run latest.
13
4th (13) (20/1 -82%) Cafe Del Mar
20
20/1(-82%)
(13) Cafe Del Mar 20/1, One win from 22 NH runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap chase (11/2) at Punchestown (23.2f, good) 24 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others more persuasive. Sole win in 22 came in March 2022; promising run last month but drop in trip may not suit.
2
5th (2) (16/1 -60%) Chatterbox
16
16/1(-60%)
(2) Chatterbox 16/1, 6/1, bit below form 16½ lengths sixth of 12 to Bowgate Street in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt. 0-20; below form behind Bowgate Street last month; opposable from career-high mark.

(11) Thats All 66/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good, 28/1) 4 days ago. Difficult ask. 17-race maiden and struggling over hurdles this year, including handicap debut on Monday.

(9) Caremuchmore 33/1, Last of 11 in novice hurdle at Cork (19f, heavy, 14/1). Off 7 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs to do more. Tailed off on first run since 2022 when last seen and has another absence to defy here.

8th (4) (7/1 +13%) Evolving
7
7/1(+13%)
(4) Evolving 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fell in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 4 days ago, too far out to suggest outcome. Flat winner in France; hasn't shown enough in 5 hurdle runs; fell when 13-2 for h'cap bow.

5/1(+38%)
(5) Hurricane Honey 5/1, 7/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 4 days ago. Can't be ruled out. Promise for Gordon Elliott and 2 promising runs for new yard; handles this ground.

14
14/1(-75%)
(8) Yorkshire Escape 14/1, Creditable fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft, 4/1) 21 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Bumper form gives her scope for improvement, so needs considering. 0-9; encouraging runs over timber for new yard and unexposed on h'cap debut.

8.5
17/2(+39%)
(6) Letters To Juliet 17/2, 7/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (22f, soft) 43 days ago. Can't be ruled out. 7l third on return but didn't build on that latest; needs her jumping to improve.

10/1(+17%)
(7) Whatyouwant 10/1, 9/1, creditable 8 lengths fifth of 12 to Bowgate Street in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 15 days ago, faring best of those held up. Needs respecting. Won h'cap hurdle on seasonal debut and back to form when beaten 6l latest; respected.

11th (1) (17/2 -70%) Bowgate Street
8.5
17/2(-70%)
(1) Bowgate Street 17/2, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft, 11/2) 15 days ago. Should go well again. Improving for this yard; off the mark after narrow defeat latest; respected with 6lb rise.

28
28/1(+58%)
(14) Takemeuptocarlow 28/1, Creditable eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Fairyhouse (23.8f, good) 4 days ago. Something to find on form. Poor form in maiden hurdles and hasn't shown enough in two handicap hurdle starts recently.
12
13th (12) (10/1 -43%) Ballycommon Chapel
10
10/1(-43%)
(12) Ballycommon Chapel 10/1, Creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 33 days ago. Up in trip. Should be on the premises again. 0-24; placed last twice but best efforts have come over shorter trips; career-high mark.
15:57 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Stepping up in trip now may help BALLYCOMMON CHAPEL. She has run well on her last couple of outings over two miles and stayed on nicely to finish second on her penultimate start here. Off just a 2lb higher mark, there looks to be a race in her. Bowgate Street attempts to follow up on her Sligo success just over two weeks ago. She was a game winner that day but a 6lb rise makes life a bit tougher. Yorkshire Escape hasn't run too badly in maiden hurdles recently and is one to note on her handicap debut.
IT'S TIME AGAIN hasn't won for a while but looked ready to strike when second at Limerick 3 weeks ago, so she's marginally preferred to last-time-out winner Bowgate Street. Yorkshire Escape is potentially well treated on bumper form and also merits respect.
\COLLEEN DANU\p ran well here on yard debut last month and if she comes on for that run she could be ahead of her mark
(4) Swingin Safari 11/8, Once-raced maiden. 4/1, second of 10 in bumper at Ballinrobe (15.8f, soft) on NH debut. Plenty of promise on debut and has left Sam Curling and joined a top British yard since, so he's the one to beat back from 6 months off. Fetched 165,000euros at the sales after finishing second in a Ballinrobe bumper.
1
2nd (1) (11/1 +21%) Lock Stock
11
11/1(+21%)
(1) Lock Stock 11/1, Jack Hobbs gelding. Dam (c127/h104) 2½m-25f hurdle/chase winner. Fifth sole start in point bumpers (Apr 20). Others are more appealing. Beaten 14l in a British point bumper back in the spring when fitted with a hood.

3rd (3) (13/8 +19%) Sergeant Fury
1.625
13/8(+19%)
(3) Sergeant Fury 13/8, €20,000 3-y-o, £38,000 4-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam (h72), ran once over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Tallow For Coal. Won sole start in Irish points (May 12). One to note. Irish point winner bought for £38,000; new yard has a good strike-rate in these races.
5
4th (5) (4/1 -14%) The Sainted Canary
4
4/1(-14%)
(5) The Sainted Canary 4/1, Half-brother to fair chaser Tractor Fred and built on debut when runner-up at Plumpton 6 months ago. May do better again, so hard to rule out. Tongue tied. Promise in Ascot/Plumpton bumpers and both races were won by nice prospects.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
SWINGIN SAFARI changed hands for 165,000 euros after narrowly losing out to an expensive rival on his debut at Ballinrobe in April and he looks to have been found a good opportunity to make a winning start for Paul Nicholls, who landed this race in 2018 and 2019. Sergeant Fury cost 38,000 pounds following his point-to-point success in May and warrants respect on his NH debut, while The Sainted Canary rates best of the rest.
SWINGIN SAFARI has joined a top yard on the back of a debut full of promise and he's taken to open his account at the second attempt. Sergeant Fury deserves respect having won a point.
A difficult bumper to approach without market vibes. THE SAINTED CANARY has two bumpers under his belt and they were good runs.
(6) Elements Of Fire 7/2, Foaled February 17. 320,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Forgotten Treasure. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Southern Hills. Lot to like on paper. 320,000gns yearling; yard 28% with 2yos here in recent years and needs close look on debut.
7
2nd (7) (16/1 +11%) Estmrar
16
16/1(+11%)
(7) Estmrar 16/1, Foaled March 31. $170,000 yearling, $120,000 2-y-o, Global Campaign colt. Half-brother to several winners, including useful US 5.5f-6.5f minor winner What'sontheagenda, runner-up in Grade 3 5f event. Dam US maiden. Makes plenty of appeal. $120,000 2yo; one of two newcomers for the Crisfords and market should be informative.
1
3rd (1) (3/1 +10%) Royal Alliance
3
3/1(+10%)
(1) Royal Alliance 3/1, Gelded after debut and well backed, he landed 9-runner novice at Newcastle (7.1f) 25 days ago. Penalty to carry but open to further improvement. Big improvement when justifying support at Newcastle and he's respected under a penalty.
3
4th (3) (15/2 +25%) Beccali
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(3) Beccali 15/2, €310,000 foal, €580,000 yearling, Lope De Vega colt who has failed to meet market expectations both starts so far over 6f. Given a break and now tackles 7f, so may well raise his game. Well-held seventh when favourite in both runs during the summer and been gelded since.
13
5th (13) (33/1 -65%) Dance In The Storm
33
33/1(-65%)
(13) Dance In The Storm 33/1, Foaled May 1. Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Dancing Star and useful 6f-7f winner Foxtrot Lady. Dam 6f winner. One to note on debut. Half-sister to six winners; looks the part on paper and she's an interesting debutante.
10
6th (10) (12/1 -60%) Raafedd
12
12/1(-60%)
(10) Raafedd 12/1, Foaled April 12. 68,000 gns foal, 370,000 gns yearling, Teofilo colt. Closely related to 7f winner Elsals. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner out of useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner English Ballet. Newcomer of obvious interest. Plenty to like on paper and yard has been in scintillating form this month.
5
7th (5) (5/1 +58%) Breakdancer
5
5/1(+58%)
(5) Breakdancer 5/1, Foaled February 25. 185,000 gns foal, 450,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Dam 2-y-o 5.7f/6f winner, fourth in Cheveley Park Stakes, from a very good family. Noteworthy newcomer. 450,000euros yearling; interesting newcomer and he needs watching in market.

100
100/1(-100%)
(8) Hymnbook 100/1, Foaled April 6. 90,000 gns yearling, Acclamation colt. Brother to 6f winner Commandment and half-brother to 2m winner First Blood. Dam unraced sister to smart 6f/7f winner Unequal Love. Has speed and stamina in pedigree and market should guide on debut.
4
9th (4) (66/1 -313%) Boubyan
66
66/1(-313%)
(4) Boubyan 66/1, Showed a bt more than on debut but still looked in need of the experience when sixth of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f, 28/1) 64 days ago. Should improve. Some promise in both runs so far and he's open to more progress after a short break.
11
10th (11) (100/1 +0%) Unknown Journey
100
100/1(+0%)
(11) Unknown Journey 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when sixth of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) 50 days ago. Some ability in two runs for Peter Chapple-Hyam but he struggled on stable debut latest.
2
11th (2) (3/1 +14%) Akrramm
3
3/1(+14%)
(2) Akrramm 3/1, Displayed ability when sixth of 13 in novice (17/2) at Sandown (7f, good to firm) on debut, not knocked about. Off 101 days. Should progress as he's in the right hands. Not beaten far on his Sandown debut in July and looks a likely improver on return.
12
12th (12) (200/1 -203%) West Wickham
200
200/1(-203%)
(12) West Wickham 200/1, Last of 11 in maiden (33/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 5 days ago. Well held in two runs at Southwell this autumn and has lots to find on this drop in trip.
16:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ROYAL ALLIANCE was having his first start since June when scoring at Newcastle last month, having been gelded in the interim. The son of Persian King comfortably beat a horse rated 82 and may well defy a penalty on the strength of that form. Akrramm will likely have more to offer on his return from an absence, and the now-gelded Beccali might have a say in proceedings as well. Breakdancer, Dance In The Storm and Raafedd are all newcomers to note.
Plenty of depth to this so conceding a penalty won't be easy for ROYAL ALLIANCE, but he was quite impressive at Newcastle so he rates the percentage call. Akrramm ran in a hot race on debut so is sure to improve, while there are a plethora of interesting-looking newcomers, notably Elements of Fire and Breakdancer.
An interesting race but it might be worth sticking with ROYAL ALLIANCE, who justified support in good style at Newcastle last month.
(1) No Saint 8/11, C&D winner. 7/1, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 9 days ago, comfortably. Raised 6 lb but retains plenty of handicapping scope on old form. Hard to beat under Loughnane. Scored readily at Southwell last week and remains well treated on peak form; 1-1 here.
7
2nd (7) (16/1 -14%) Starshot
16
16/1(-14%)
(7) Starshot 16/1, Remains a maiden after 22 starts. Cheekpieces on first time, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 7/1) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has possibilities on bits of form; failed to fire the last twice and now 0-22.
4
3rd (4) (11/2 +21%) Wrath Of Hector
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(4) Wrath Of Hector 11/2, Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Creditable third of 11 in C&D handicap 23 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Won on turf in August; creditable third at this course the last twice; solid claims.
10
4th (10) (22/1 -120%) Aspire To Glory
22
22/1(-120%)
(10) Aspire To Glory 22/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago. Others more persuasive. Exposed 3yo but is attractively weighted; won twice off higher marks last winter.
3
5th (3) (40/1 -150%) Lucy Lockett
40
40/1(-150%)
(3) Lucy Lockett 40/1, 50/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 49 days ago. Hard to fancy after that. Best effort when second over C&D on final 2yo start; has regressed this year.
8
6th (8) (16/1 +60%) Repartee
16
16/1(+60%)
(8) Repartee 16/1, Twenty eight runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. On a very long losing run and isn't solid on 2024 form.
11
7th (11) (100/1 -150%) Dash Power
100
100/1(-150%)
(11) Dash Power 100/1, 125/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 18 days ago. Inconsistent 3yo maiden; not guaranteed to give his running.
9
8th (9) (66/1 -65%) Fast Flo
66
66/1(-65%)
(9) Fast Flo 66/1, Remains a maiden after 26 starts. 14/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 18 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere again. Made the frame several times in 2023; not in the same form this year.
6
9th (6) (16/1 -100%) Sea The Buckthorn
16
16/1(-100%)
(6) Sea The Buckthorn 16/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 22/1, good fourth of 11 in C&D handicap 23 days ago, nearest finish. Can give another good account. Record is only 1-25 but he ran encouragingly over C&D most recently; not ruled out.
2
10th (2) (80/1 -60%) Doras Tamar
80
80/1(-60%)
(2) Doras Tamar 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, first run since leaving Robyn Brisland when tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on first time. Others more persuasive. Has totally failed to build on debut promise; tongue-tie applied.
5
11th (5) (5/1 +64%) Top Button
5
5/1(+64%)
(5) Top Button 5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. 40/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (1m) 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Hood back on. Registered sole win at classified level; 0-14 in handicaps.
17:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
NO SAINT finally took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring with any amount in hand at Southwell. The four-year-old has been raised 6lb for that success, but another strong bid looks assured. Wrath Of Hector has placed here since winning at Yarmouth in August and it would be no surprise if he featured in the finish once again. Sea The Buckthorn (fourth) wasn't far behind Wrath Of Hector last time and looks best of the rest.
NO SAINT won readily at Southwell last week and a 6 lb rise shouldn't stop him if in a similar mood. Wrath of Hector and Sea The Buckthorn might be the pair to give Sam England's charge most to think about.
With many of his rivals far from solid, NO SAINT is taken to follow up his Southwell win. Wrath Of Hector is second choice.
(9) Match Anthem 20/1, Last of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (1m)) 29 days ago. Others are more obvious. Not gone on from early promise in AW sprints; non-stayer over 7f and 1m on last 2 starts.
4
2nd (4) (11/2 +0%) Poetic Jack
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(4) Poetic Jack 11/2, C&D winner. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 15/2) 51 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. C&D winner last November; has been pulling hard over 6f; needs to settle back at 7f.
1
3rd (1) (10/11 +60%) Just Ten High
0.909091
10/11(+60%)
(1) Just Ten High 10/11, Winner over C&D and at Southwell this autumn. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (1m) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on form. Won first two 7f handicaps, over C&D and at Southwell; back in trip after two 1m defeats.
11
4th (11) (40/1 -21%) Lord Danielson
40
40/1(-21%)
(11) Lord Danielson 40/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (200/1) at Yarmouth (1m, soft) 25 days ago. Narrow defeat over C&D in February but hasn't done as well since, including here in April.
5
5th (5) (40/1 -122%) Kenstone
40
40/1(-122%)
(5) Kenstone 40/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 18/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Close 2nd at Chepstow in September; tricky from wide draw on first course run since 2020.
2
6th (2) (9/2 -13%) Batal Dandy
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(2) Batal Dandy 9/2, Latest win at Kempton in October. Creditable third of 6 in C&D handicap 14 days ago. Ought to be on the premises again. Back in form for new yard, late spurt to win over 7f at Kempton, then 3rd over C&D since.
6
7th (6) (66/1 -267%) Vivency
66
66/1(-267%)
(6) Vivency 66/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) in July. Off 124 days. Others more persuasive. Latest win over C&D in 2022; limited runs since later that year; back from another break.
3
8th (3) (14/1 -75%) Liege
14
14/1(-75%)
(3) Liege 14/1, 25/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 61 days ago. Now 0-10 but recent 7f runs at Wolverhampton suggest he should find a race before long.
10
9th (10) (9/1 -64%) La Verite
9
9/1(-64%)
(10) La Verite 9/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can make presence felt with Billy Loughnane taking over from a 7 lb claimer. Maiden; checked in her run behind Batal Dandy over 7f at Kempton; excuse since.
7
10th (7) (28/1 +30%) Tilsworth Max
28
28/1(+30%)
(7) Tilsworth Max 28/1, Poor maiden. 33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 18 days ago. Mark was boosted by close 3rd in 7f classified on AW in August; modest handicap form since.
8
11th (8) (33/1 -65%) Primrose Maid
33
33/1(-65%)
(8) Primrose Maid 33/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Fourth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 18 days ago. Broke duck in 7f turf handicap last September; not so good this year and 0-3 on AW.
17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
KENSTONE failed to fire at Wolverhampton after losing a cheekpiece early in the race. Adrian Wintle's veteran had gone close when runner-up at Chepstow before that, suggesting a return to winning ways was imminent, and he gets another chance. A winner at Kempton last month, Batal Dandy ran well again when third over track and trip a fortnight ago and is not out of it, while Just Ten High can be given a chance returning to this shorter distance.
JUST TEN HIGH bumped into a progressive one at Southwell last Saturday and can show he's still on a good mark. La Verite shaped better than the result at Kempton last time and is feared most with Billy Loughnane taking over the reins from a 7 lb apprentice. Poetic Jack is next on the list.
The return to this C&D and the refitting of cheekpieces add up well for JUST TEN HIGH and leave him with less to prove than most.
(5) Initial Blue 2/1, Related to plenty of winners and posted promising fourth of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 33 days ago. Likely to improve and is one for shortlist. Fourth at Wolverhampton (7f) on last month's debut; can improve but drop in trip a query.
7
2nd (7) (9/2 +36%) Spitzbergen
4.5
9/2(+36%)
(7) Spitzbergen 9/2, Foaled May 23. €75,000 yearling, Goken colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 5.5f winner Lovamour and winner up to 6f Lova and closely related to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Kenlova, all in France. Interesting newcomer. 75,000euros yearling; useful dam has already produced three good winners; newcomer of note.
2
3rd (2) (9/2 -35%) Camera Shy
4.5
9/2(-35%)
(2) Camera Shy 9/2, Promising type who made a winning racecourse bow at Newmarket (6f) in May. Sole subsequent start in Milan likely best excused and must enter calculations here. Gelded since last run. 6f win at Newmarket on debut; flopped in Italian Group 3 in June; gelded since; AW debut.
1
4th (1) (15/2 -7%) Rock Hunter
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(1) Rock Hunter 15/2, Fair gelding. 5/1, last of 8 in nursery at Newbury (6f, heavy) 14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Claims on best form. Big chance on early-season form; patchy record more recently; new headgear/no tongue-tie.
9
5th (9) (100/1 -25%) Friday Again
100
100/1(-25%)
(9) Friday Again 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Likely best watched. Modest form in two Kempton runs (6f and 7f) last month; not the obvious answer.
4
6th (4) (4/1 +27%) Desert Champion
4
4/1(+27%)
(4) Desert Champion 4/1, Foaled March 4. Lope De Vega colt. Closely related to 5f winner Alwaatn Sound and half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 6f Queen Kindly. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Dam a Group 2 winner who has produced some smart winners already; betting instructive.
10
7th (10) (16/1 -33%) Sarteano
16
16/1(-33%)
(10) Sarteano 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, fourth of 11 in novice (20/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 8 days ago. May need more time. Second run was better than her debut but bred to come into her own over further.
3
8th (3) (125/1 -150%) Crest Of Light
125
125/1(-150%)
(3) Crest Of Light 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago. Makes limited appeal. Down the field in two 7f maidens in recent weeks; hard to recommend.
6
9th (6) (16/1 -88%) Lexington Rocket
16
16/1(-88%)
(6) Lexington Rocket 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Disappointed on heavy ground at Leicester latest but had run with promise when third on debut at Yarmouth (6f) previously and can't be discounted. Debut effort was much better than his second run (both 6f, soft then heavy); AW debut.
8
10th (8) (66/1 -230%) Always Eternal
66
66/1(-230%)
(8) Always Eternal 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden (11/2) at Newcastle (6f) on debut 11 days ago, merely closing up late. Should progress. Signs of ability amidst inexperience on recent Newcastle debut (6f); can improve over time.
18:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CAMERA SHY created a good impression when scoring cosily at Newmarket on debut in May and, after not being seen to best effect when sent off a warm order for a Group 3 in Italy, this promising son of Kodiac can return to winning ways. The experienced Rock Hunter has shown enough ability to suggest that he can land a race of this nature and commands attention sporting blinkers for the first time. Desert Champion is also respected, especially if the market speaks favourably.
INITIAL BLUE should have learnt plenty from his encouraging Wolverhampton debut and gets the nod. Newmarket-winner Camera Shy remains with potential and may provide the chief threat, whilst Desert Champion and Spitzbergen are both of interest on their racecourse bows.
Camera Shy looks the pick of those with experience but SPITZBERGEN is a newcomer of note and can make a winning debut.
(5) Piranha Rama 25/1, Latest win at Windsor in August. Respectable third of 8 in nursery (20/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 33 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and she should have a part to play if taking to this surface. Two turf wins in summer; respectable third at Wolverhampton (AW debut) last month.
2
2nd (2) (16/1 -60%) Fallen Soldier
16
16/1(-60%)
(2) Fallen Soldier 16/1, 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 12 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and needs to raise his game. Made the frame off this mark in two nurseries in September; below par in cheekpieces since.
9
3rd (9) (8/1 -78%) Dubai Magic
8
8/1(-78%)
(9) Dubai Magic 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in nursery at this course (5f, 85/40) 30 days ago. Stepping back up to 6f will be no bad thing and she's a must for the shortlist. Disappointing here last time; return to 6f is worth exploring and may rebound.
4
4th (4) (33/1 +34%) Tequila Rose
33
33/1(+34%)
(4) Tequila Rose 33/1, Winner at Brighton in May. Twelfth of 13 in nursery at Kempton (7f, 80/1) 10 days ago. Others preferred. Has failed to build on her May win; first-time headgear needs to help.
8
5th (8) (3/1 +60%) Specified
3
3/1(+60%)
(8) Specified 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 11 in nursery at Leicester (6f, heavy, 10/1) 32 days ago, not ideally placed. Place possibilities. Good second over C&D (handicap debut) on penultimate start; interesting back here.
7
6th (7) (13/2 +24%) Impatiently
6.5
13/2(+24%)
(7) Impatiently 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in maiden (40/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 88 days ago. Significant step forward needed now that she makes her way down the nursery route. Ran well last time; the only handicap newcomer in this field and may progress.
3
7th (3) (12/1 -20%) Power Of Twins
12
12/1(-20%)
(3) Power Of Twins 12/1, Creditable sixth of 14 in nursery at Southwell (5f, 10/1) 44 days ago. Back up in trip for this polytrack debut and she needs to improve. Creditable sixth in nurseries (7f/5f) while shaping as if this return to 6f will suit.
1
8th (1) (17/2 -70%) Oasis Sunrise
8.5
17/2(-70%)
(1) Oasis Sunrise 17/2, Good second of 10 in maiden (11/4) at this C&D 9 days ago. Each-way chance. Went very close in C&D maiden last time; possibilities with Tommie Jakes taking off 5lb.
6
9th (6) (8/1 +0%) Eighteencaratgold
8
8/1(+0%)
(6) Eighteencaratgold 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 10 in nursery (5/1) at Kempton (6f). Off 94 days/gelded. Cheekpieces on 1st time and hopes pinned on the new headgear sparking some improvement. Good fourth at Kempton on AW/handicap debut; gelded since and now goes in headgear.
10
10th (10) (7/2 +22%) Apple's Angel
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(10) Apple's Angel 7/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner nursery at this C&D (28/1) 9 days ago. Enters calculations. Showed major improvement with her C&D success last week on handicap debut; respected.
18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
APPLE'S ANGEL impressed when scoring comfortably over track and trip on her nursery debut last week and the suspicion is that a 7lb rise may not be enough to anchor her. Eighteencaratgold offered encouragement when fourth on his handicap bow at Kempton in August and he can emerge as the main danger to the selection now he has been gelded and is sporting cheekpieces for the first time. Recent C&D runner-up Oasis Sunrise completes the shortlist.
Preference is for DUBAI MAGIC, who went close on her nursery debut at Wolverhampton and she wasn't seen to best effect here next time. Apple's Angel duly left the form of her qualifying runs well behind when scoring on her first run in a nursery over C&D nine days ago and she is second choice ahead of Piranha Rama and Oasis Sunrise.
The shortlist comprises the runners who have respectable C&D form, namely APPLE'S ANGEL, Specified and Oasis Sunrise.
(1) Natsumi 9/4, Showed a bit on debut but hasn't progressed in 2 subsequent outings. Tongue strap on for handicap debut. Promise in three runs this summer and faces a big drop in class here; now tongue tied.
2
2nd (2) (9/5 -116%) Startling
1.8
9/5(-116%)
(2) Startling 9/5, Resumed progress/winning ways in 7-runner nursery at this C&D (11/1) 30 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Claims are crystal clear. 2-3 since tacking nurseries, including C&D last month; up in weights but a major player.
3
3rd (3) (9/2 -13%) Bank On Kent
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(3) Bank On Kent 9/2, Respectable fifth of 11 in nursery at Leicester (6f, heavy, 16/1) 32 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time. Of interest on this year's best form; dropping back to 5f can help; new headgear; chance.
4
4th (4) (15/2 +53%) Master Zack
7.5
15/2(+53%)
(4) Master Zack 15/2, No form, including in nurseries, though not seen to best effect last time. Unplaced in six starts but has hinted at ability; hood left off this time.
7
5th (7) (9/1 +55%) Mister Coco Fizz
9
9/1(+55%)
(7) Mister Coco Fizz 9/1, Behind all 5 starts. Has been gelded ahead of polytrack debut. No major improvement for handicapping the last twice; gelded since last run; opposable.
6
6th (6) (18/1 +10%) Dottie Diamond
18
18/1(+10%)
(6) Dottie Diamond 18/1, Well held in varied events, including on handicap debut last time. Hooded for 1st time. Failed to settle when 5l behind Startling on last month's nursery debut (C&D); now hooded.
5
7th (5) (100/1 -52%) Bluesy Moon
100
100/1(-52%)
(5) Bluesy Moon 100/1, Poor maiden. Last of 9 in nursery (150/1) at this course (6f) 42 days ago. Easily passed over, Minor promise in the spring but she has struggled badly in all four nursery runs.
19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
STARTLING impressed with a last-to-first victory over C&D last month and this looks a good opportunity for her to follow up, despite racing off a 4lb higher mark. Natsumi hasn't cut much ice in her three qualifying runs, but she warrants respect on her nursery debut for astute connections. Master Zack wasn't seen to best effect over 6f here recently, but he suffered interference and could bounce back.
STARTLING did well to overcome a pace bias over C&D last month and is a straightforward choice to follow up in a race lacking depth. Bank On Kent is fully exposed but seems the most likely to follow the selection home.
Bank On Kent should go well back at 5f but this looks a big drop in class for NATSUMI and she make a winning nursery debut.
(8) Regal Envoy 8/1, Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. 3 wins from 10 runs this year. 11/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago, just holding on. Deserves respect. Successful over 6f here 4 weeks ago; second to Blind Beggar in this race 12 months ago.
5
2nd (5) (9/1 +44%) Michaela's Boy
9
9/1(+44%)
(5) Michaela's Boy 9/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 56 days ago. Others make more appeal. Solid run on stable debut in August but backward steps twice since; others look safer.
6
3rd (6) (7/1 +50%) Moulin Booj
7
7/1(+50%)
(6) Moulin Booj 7/1, Latest win at Windsor in August. 13/2, bit below form third of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) 10 days ago, slowly away. Needs to get back on track. Has run well the last twice on soft ground that wouldn't have been ideal; better expected.
1
4th (1) (7/2 +36%) Haymaker
3.5
7/2(+36%)
(1) Haymaker 7/2, Tenth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Ascot (5f, good) 35 days ago. Had been holding form prior to latest effort, so worth a chance to bounce back. Needs to rebound from a poor run at Ascot five weeks ago but this is two classes lower.
9
5th (9) (22/1 -120%) Due For Luck
22
22/1(-120%)
(9) Due For Luck 22/1, Irresolute performer. Fourth of 10 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to firm, 4/1) 70 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Has work to do. Yet to win a handicap but has several good runs to his name; e-w claims from handy draw.
3
6th (3) (5/1 -50%) Blind Beggar
5
5/1(-50%)
(3) Blind Beggar 5/1, C&D winner. 4/1, good second of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) 10 days ago, clear of rest. Merits consideration. Beat Regal Envoy in this race 12 months ago off a 1lb lower mark; in form on turf; solid.
4
7th (4) (6/1 +70%) Crimson Sand
6
6/1(+70%)
(4) Crimson Sand 6/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Respectable third of 11 in handicap (7/1) at this course (6f) 23 days ago. Should give another good account. Two course wins this year (5f/6f); fair third over 6f last time; widest stall to overcome.
7
8th (7) (9/1 +10%) Pure Angel
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Pure Angel 9/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap (11/10) at Doncaster (5f, firm). Off 16 months. Makes polytrack debut. Hard to know how much ability she retains following a lengthy absence, so market could prove significant. Unexposed 4yo; returns on a dangerous mark but her 491-day absence is an obvious concern.
2
9th (2) (5/1 +9%) Bang On The Bell
5
5/1(+9%)
(2) Bang On The Bell 5/1, C&D winner. Good second of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to soft, 15/2) 8 days ago. Goes well at this track and can make a successful return to AW. Impressed over C&D in March; good run on turf last week but 18lb higher back on AW.
10
10th (10) (33/1 -50%) Blazes Boylan
33
33/1(-50%)
(10) Blazes Boylan 33/1, C&D winner. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/1). Off 131 days. Hard to make a solid case for. Unexposed C&D winner but he doesn't look to be especially well treated.
19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
BLIND BEGGAR finished four lengths clear of Moulin Booj (third) when only denied by a short head in a stronger event at Nottingham. Mick Appleby's six-year-old took this race last year and is only 1lb higher, so it would be no surprise to see him repeat the feat. Crimson Sand made the frame over 6f here last month, just five days on from a success over the same C&D, and could get into contention again. Bang On The Bell can pick up any pieces.
BANG ON THE BELL has been in good form on turf lately and returns to AW on a feasible mark, so he's preferred to Blind Beggar, who arrives on the back of a solid showing at Nottingham. Regal Envoy is another one to consider.
This is a drop in class for HAYMAKER and he can prove too strong for Moulin Booj and Blind Beggar.
(5) Dashing Panther 7/1, 12/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (12f, heavy) 14 days ago. Likely to come on for that run, so should be closer to form. Remote seventh at Newbury on his comeback and he needs to leave that form well behind.
3
2nd (3) (8/1 +20%) Le Rouge Chinois
8
8/1(+20%)
(3) Le Rouge Chinois 8/1, Third of 4 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 9/1) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Not a forlorn hope. On workable mark and conditions are no problem but he needs to get back on track.
2
3rd (2) (4/1 +27%) Sax Appeal
4
4/1(+27%)
(2) Sax Appeal 4/1, Not disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Back down in grade, now. Defied this mark at Wolverhampton in February but he's been generally disappointing since.
1
4th (1) (40/1 -264%) Gordon Grey
40
40/1(-264%)
(1) Gordon Grey 40/1, Latest win at Epsom in July. Unseated rider in novice hurdle (22/1) at Fakenham (16f, good) 22 days ago. Not at best on latest outing in this sphere, so others are more persuasive. Two wins in the summer but things have not gone well under both codes in last three runs.
4
5th (4) (5/4 +44%) Hunters Run
1.25
5/4(+44%)
(4) Hunters Run 5/4, Latest win at Kempton in September. 5/4, respectable second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 32 days ago, not much room. Has been going the right way and should give another good account of himself. Progressive 3yo who went close in hat-trick bid at Southwell last time; big player again.
6
6th (6) (6/1 -20%) Genesius
6
6/1(-20%)
(6) Genesius 6/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Unseated rider in handicap (9/1) at Newbury (12f, heavy) 14 days ago. Had been shaping up nicely prior to that and has a solid AW record, so strong claims in first-time blinkers. Generally consistent 7yo who has possibilities back up in trip with blinkers added.
7
7th (7) (14/1 -100%) Al Haal
14
14/1(-100%)
(7) Al Haal 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 7 in novice at Kempton (12f) 54 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Bred to be better than this mark, so worth monitoring in the betting after a break. Unexposed 3yo who looks a possible improver on handicap debut; needs a close look.
20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 13f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Hunters Run is in fine form and was a close-up second when on a hat-trick at Southwell. However, the slight rise in distance might stretch out his stamina and, with that in mind, the vote goes to DASHING PANTHER. William Stone's five-year-old could only finish in midfield at Newbury, when the heavy conditions may have gone against him. Based on his runner-up effort at Pontefract prior to that display, he could be the one to beat. Al Haal is another to note.
GENESIUS couldn't be blamed for unseating at Newbury last time and, back on AW with blinkers applied, he makes plenty of appeal. The in-form Hunters Run is an obvious danger and Sax Appeal can't be ruled out down in grade.
This can go to the progressive 3yo HUNTERS RUN (nap), who went close in his hat-trick bid at Southwell last time.
(6) Salamanca 11/4, Finished runner-up first 2 starts prior to finding Lingfield Derby Trial too much back in May. Off 6 months prior to readily landing 5-runner C&D maiden 14 days ago and feasible to think this low-mileage 3-y-o can do better again now handicapping. Useful form, readily landing odds in C&D novice a fortnight ago; a much respected 3yo.
3
(3) (11/4 +8%) Penzance
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(3) Penzance 11/4, Useful gelding, completing AW 4-timer at Lingfield in March prior to an excellent second in Easter Classic later that month. Lightly raced on turf this summer and should be sharper following a solid third in listed company at Kempton (12f) on Monday. Plenty to like back at 1¼m. C&D winner with good AW record for this yard, including third in Listed on Monday; player.
9
(9) (7/2 +42%) Westridge
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(9) Westridge 7/2, Improved another chunk when shedding maiden tag in a Windsor novice (1m) in June, edging out his stablemate who tasted success next-time-out. However, forcing tactics were a shade overdone in a rough race at Goodwood on handicap bow in August and he remains with potential (gelded). Met trouble on Glorious Goodwood handicap debut; gelded after; unexposed 3yo for top yard.
7
(7) (17/2 +23%) Andaleep
8.5
17/2(+23%)
(7) Andaleep 17/2, Smashing advert for this yard who added to his tally at Windsor (10f) in July. Plenty of solid efforts in defeat have followed, fifth in Cambridgeshire prior to good second of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 5 days ago. Not taken lightly. Only 2-27 on AW but ran a cracker when second in a Series Final at Kempton on Monday.
5
(5) (10/1 -25%) Wadacre Gomez
10
10/1(-25%)
(5) Wadacre Gomez 10/1, 5-time C&D winner, the latest from a 5 lb lower mark in July. Underperformed when well held in Glorious Goodwood handicap (9.9f) later that month and presumably been kept fresh with an all-weather campaign in mind. Still, this looks a deep enough race. Well held on turf latest but a 5-7 C&D record affords him plenty of respect.
1
(1) (12/1 +25%) Diderot
12
12/1(+25%)
(1) Diderot 12/1, All 4 career victories have come on synthetics, the latest over 1m here in December. Run respectably when third of 8 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f) when last seen in August and whilst he has a higher mark to contend with on AW, his record fresh is a positive. Good AW record but held by Penzance on Newcastle Good Friday form.
4
(4) (16/1 -100%) Intricacy
16
16/1(-100%)
(4) Intricacy 16/1, 4-y-o who was last seen posting a career-best effort to land 12-runner handicap (4/1) at Meydan (9.9f, good) in February. Career-hgih mark to defy returned to these shores but he's still unexposed on artificial surfaces. Off since Meydan turf win in February and will need a big career best from this mark.
8
(8) (25/1 -108%) Majestic
25
25/1(-108%)
(8) Majestic 25/1, Winless since landing Cambridgeshire in 2022 but plenty of creditable efforts to his name, including when third on July Course (10f) this summer. Not seen to best effect having raced near side when midfield in aforementioned race 6 weeks ago and this his first try on synthetics. 0-15 since 2022 Cambridgeshire win and has never run on AW before.
2
(2) (28/1 -133%) Felix
28
28/1(-133%)
(2) Felix 28/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021 but went close to bucking that trend under a proactive ride when headed late on at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in February. Not disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f) in June. Absent since but he's gone well fresh previously. Nearly 9 but still very useful earlier in year; third in last the two runnings of this.
20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 2) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Andaleep backed up his fifth in the Cambridgeshire with a highly respectable second at Kempton on Monday and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. However, he could come out second best to PENZANCE, who is a dual C&D winner and finished third in a Listed contest on the same Kempton card earlier in the week. The four-year-old returns to the handicap ranks and will prove hard to beat. Intricacy is another to take seriously, despite being absent since his victory at Meydan in February.
Dual C&D winner PENZANCE lines up 3 lb lower than when second at Newcastle in the spring and, with an encouraging third in listed company behind him at Kempton on Monday, he's very much of interest returned to this shorter trip. Intricacy has been absent since winning at Meydan earlier this year but is worth a second look for the Crisfords. Low-mileage 3-y-os Westridge and Salamanca are others to note in a good quality affair.
While PENZANCE failed make an impact in some good-quality turf races in the summer, it's resulted in him dropping to a good AW mark.

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.
