11:15 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (9/1 -13%) Recuerdame	9 9/1(-13%)	(7) Recuerdame 9/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. 10/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, AW) 17 days ago, left with too much to do. Place possibilities. Ten wins on AW and comes here in fair form; strong pace suits his come-from-behind style.
2 2nd (2) (12/1 -9%) Mykonos St John	12 12/1(-9%)	(2) Mykonos St John 12/1, C&D winner. Twenty-three runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 16/1) 16 days ago. Reproduction of his C&D near miss on penultimate start would give him a fighting chance. Near miss over C&D last month; less good over 7f (Class 5) latest; can bounce back.
6 3rd (6) (11/1 -10%) Deed Pole	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) Deed Pole 11/1, 18/1, good third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 14 days ago, running on. Vulnerable for win purposes. 11-race maiden but hard to fault his consistency & he made a pleasing return two weeks ago.
4 4th (4) (25/1 -213%) Roscioli	25 25/1(-213%)	(4) Roscioli 25/1, Latest win at Brighton in June. Sixth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Brighton (7f, heavy) 30 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Others make more appeal. Won a 2-runner race at Brighton in June; below par latest; others look stronger today.
9 5th (9) (20/1 -43%) Equiami	20 20/1(-43%)	(9) Equiami 20/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this course (7f, AW) 11 days ago. Others look stronger. 1m winner at Southwell in April off 6lb higher; patchy record since; others look safer.
1 6th (1) (5/1 -100%) Wadacre Grace	5 5/1(-100%)	(1) Wadacre Grace 5/1, C&D winner. 4 wins from 19 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/4) 8 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and she needs considering. Five AW wins (including C&D) and drops in class after a ready Chelmsford win last week.
3 7th (3) (16/5 -7%) Intricate Pillar	3.2 16/5(-7%)	(3) Intricate Pillar 16/5, Good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 2/1) 17 days ago. Remains on a workable mark and should have a part to play. Runner-up at Kempton and over C&D on her last two starts; in the mix once again.
8 8th (8) (125/1 -89%) Forever Proud	125 125/1(-89%)	(8) Forever Proud 125/1, Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 200/1) 31 days ago. Hard to warm to. Hard to recommend on what she has shown in two runs for her new stable.
5 9th (5) (13/8 +60%) Wake Up Harry	1.625 13/8(+60%)	(5) Wake Up Harry 13/8, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Very much one to consider starting out for his new yard. C&D winner; well handicapped & went close at Kempton 12 days ago; new yard; major player.
10 10th (10) (66/1 -164%) Sapperdean	66 66/1(-164%)	(10) Sapperdean 66/1, 33/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) 26 days ago. Still, a sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to take this. Didn't run badly on heavy ground last month but this is stronger and he's opposable again.

Competitive enough but WAKE UP HARRY is handicapped to win and he can get the better of Wadacre Grace and Intricate Pillar.

11:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (16/5 +42%) Raqraaq	3.2 16/5(+42%)	(3) Raqraaq 16/5, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 17/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 31 days ago. Place claims. 0-16 but was a back-to-form third over 1m at Kempton last time.
8 2nd (8) (15/2 -67%) Golden Phase	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(8) Golden Phase 15/2, Winner at Bath in August. Good second of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/2) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Turf win in August; three good placed efforts on AW since; cheekpieces on; should go well.
4 3rd (4) (12/1 +0%) H Key Lails	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) H Key Lails 12/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Fifth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm) 86 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Turf efforts in late summer nothing special but did win on AW for previous yard.
1 4th (1) (9/2 -80%) Hul Ah Bah Loo	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(1) Hul Ah Bah Loo 9/2, Career best when readily winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 17 days ago, overcoming pace bias. The one to beat from 3 lb higher mark. Second C&D win when leading late on 17 days ago; a 3lb rise looks fair.
7 5th (7) (11/8 +45%) Island Native	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(7) Island Native 11/8, In first-time cheekpieces, ran creditably when second of 12 in handicap (6/5) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 26 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Heather Main. Since gelded and looks very interesting for yard that does well with new recruits. Placed four times on AW (including C&D) this autumn and can strike for excellent new yard.
6 6th (6) (12/1 -50%) Villalobos	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Villalobos 12/1, C&D winner. Failed to justify support when sixth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (8f) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D winner; mostly good efforts this year but below par last twice.
10 7th (10) (100/1 -456%) Poppaea	100 100/1(-456%)	(10) Poppaea 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 35 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Third in 7f handicap here in June but well held at Chelmsford last month on sole run since.
9 8th (9) (33/1 -65%) Adaayinourlife	33 33/1(-65%)	(9) Adaayinourlife 33/1, Sole win from 23 Flat runs came over C&D. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 12 days ago. Remains on workable mark if able to step forward from that effort. Sole win in 23 starts came over C&D in 2022; back from break with fair fourth 12 days ago.
2 9th (2) (33/1 +0%) Kokomo	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Kokomo 33/1, Fair form when runner-up in maiden/novice events but is yet to make any sort of impression in handicaps. Has work to do stepping up to this with hood back on. Showed early promise but has struggled since handicapping.

LTO Selection:

11:45 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Although ISLAND NATIVE has let favourite backers down on his last three runs, he's worth another chance on first run for Mick Appleby.

11:50 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
10 (10) (100/1 -52%) Rick Dalton	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Rick Dalton 100/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat who showed an aptitude for hurdling when sixth of 19 in maiden at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 28/1) 7 days ago. Is 0-14 on the Flat; modest sixth on hurdle bow last week; plenty to find.
13 1st (13) (4/7 +67%) Stellar Story	0.571429 4/7(+67%)	(13) Stellar Story 4/7, Useful dual bumper winner who is brother to 3 winners, including very smart hurdler/top-class chaser The Storyteller. Lots to like. Improving with each run and form of latest bumper success boosted; big player if tuned up.
6 2nd (6) (10/1 -25%) Largy Hill	10 10/1(-25%)	(6) Largy Hill 10/1, Fairly useful bumper winner so one to consider now stepping up in trip on hurdle debut. Won Limerick bumper last term; couldn't build on that twice since; should relish new trip.
1 3rd (1) (9/1 -50%) Beau Walking	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) Beau Walking 9/1, Runner-up completed outing in points. Failed to land the odds when third of 12 in maiden hurdle at Galway (16.4f, heavy, 8/11) on NH debut 21 days ago but is entitled to improve, especially now upped in trip. Beaten half length in a point; beaten 3l when odds on for rules debut; should relish 2m4f.
8 4th (8) (12/1 -50%) Lucky Lyreen	12 12/1(-50%)	(8) Lucky Lyreen 12/1, Useful bumper winner who is a brother to smart hurdler Call Me Lyreen. Very interesting hurdling debutant. Down Royal bumper winner; didn't progress when 2nd at Limerick latest.
3 5th (3) (11/4 -83%) Dancing City	2.75 11/4(-83%)	(3) Dancing City 11/4, Won sole outing in points and displayed useful form in bumpers, winning at Wexford in March before finding only a very promising stablemate too good at Punchestown on final outing. Point winner; won a bumper before good 2nd in Punhcestown festival bumper; form boosted.
16 6th (16) (40/1 -21%) Nouvotic	40 40/1(-21%)	(16) Nouvotic 40/1, Placed sole outing in points and showed something when sixth of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut up in trip. Was 2nd in a point before promising 6th in a bumper when last seen; off 207 days.
2 7th (2) (20/1 -67%) Coming Up Easy	20 20/1(-67%)	(2) Coming Up Easy 20/1, Placed on sole outing in points and shaped with some encouragement when sixth of 10 in bumper at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut. Off 8 months. Makes hurdles debut up in trip. Was 3rd in a point and ran with credit when 6th in a bumper here in March; big player.
17 8th (17) (200/1 -100%) Grace Faraday	200 200/1(-100%)	(17) Grace Faraday 200/1, Modest bumper performer who went with little promise on her only start over hurdles. Eight-race maiden who has been off 233 days; hasn't shown enough.
15 9th (15) (200/1 -33%) No Turn Unstoned	200 200/1(-33%)	(15) No Turn Unstoned 200/1, In need of experience in bumper/maiden hurdles. Promising 9th on bumper debut but tailed off in maiden hurdles since.
5 10th (5) (40/1 -21%) Isenay	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Isenay 40/1, Showed fairly useful form in bumpers but shaped as if amiss on final outing and starts out over hurdles in a warm-looking event. Placed in a couple of bumpers at Ayr but tailed off at Kelso when last seen; off 238 days.
18 11th (18) (150/1 -50%) Thecornerbar	150 150/1(-50%)	(18) Thecornerbar 150/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune filly. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Another Emotion and French hurdler/chaser Linodargent. Dam 19f hurdle winner in France. Soldier Of Fortune filly; 13,000eur 3yo; stoutly bred and best watched on debut.
4 12th (4) (150/1 +0%) Imbolc	150 150/1(+0%)	(4) Imbolc 150/1, Well held in a pair of maiden hurdles. Pulled up in a point and has shown nothing in two runs under rules.

11:50 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DANCING CITY who looked like a nice prospect in bumpers last term and he should relish going up in trip on hurdle bow

12:09 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (4/6 +55%) Heltenham	0.666667 4/6(+55%)	(4) Heltenham 4/6, Ex-French bumper winner who improved over fences last season, having plenty up his sleeve when completing the hat-trick at Newbury (19.8f, soft) in March. Didn't get very far making his bid for a 4-timer at Cheltenham on final outing and is an interesting runner reverted to hurdles for reappearance. Highly progressive chaser last term; leading claims if transferring ability back to h'dles.
15 2nd (15) (6/1 -100%) To Chase A Dream	6 6/1(-100%)	(15) To Chase A Dream 6/1, Point bumper winner who made an encouraging start to his hurdle career when second in a Carlisle novice (17.2, soft) 30 days ago, finishing well. Likely improver over this longer trip. Runner-up on hurdle debut at Carlisle and this step up in trip looks a positive move.
7 3rd (7) (28/1 -40%) Le Jeune Bresil	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Le Jeune Bresil 28/1, £36,000 6-y-o, Blue Bresil gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Vereina. Dam (c112/h98), 3m chase winner. Off mark in Irish points at second attempt in April but was on the retreat when exiting on C&D hurdle debut 2 weeks ago, having failed to settle. Didn't shine over C&D on recent rules debut but this Irish point winner retains potential.
12 4th (12) (80/1 -142%) Gustoso	80 80/1(-142%)	(12) Gustoso 80/1, Well beaten sole outing in bumpers and ran to only a modest level on Aintree hurdle debut. Check betting, but well beaten on both starts; needs to be entirely different proposition.
8 5th (8) (11/1 -57%) Lunar Chief	11 11/1(-57%)	(8) Lunar Chief 11/1, Made a successful debut in 8-runner bumper at Newcastle (16.2f, heavy) in March, despite showing a tendency to flash his tail under the whip. Showed an aptitude for hurdling faced with an inadequate test at Kelso (16.2f) on return, so the step up in trip looks a good move. Bumper winner who kept on for fourth over 2m on hurdle debut; interesting now up in trip.
9 6th (9) (66/1 -136%) Magical Arthur	66 66/1(-136%)	(9) Magical Arthur 66/1, Imposing sort who has shaped like a stayer both starts over hurdles. Probably one for handicaps after this run. Fair third over C&D last month but needs more today; down the field at Sedgefield since.
14 7th (14) (125/1 -25%) Mademewhatiam	125 125/1(-25%)	(14) Mademewhatiam 125/1, Out of a smart mare and caught the eye finishing with running left on his Rules debut at Hexham, However, was pulled up at Carlisle last month and won't be of interest this side of handicaps. Hard to fancy based on what he's shown on his two rules starts.
3 8th (3) (33/1 -106%) Gentle Victor	33 33/1(-106%)	(3) Gentle Victor 33/1, Well in a bumper in May. Offered something to work on when fifth in 2m Ludlow novice on hurdle debut 23 days ago but possibly more one for the longer term. Kept on for 5th over 2m at Ludlow; each-way possible if improving for this step up in trip.
11 9th (11) (33/1 -18%) Nearly Wed	33 33/1(-18%)	(11) Nearly Wed 33/1, €4,500 3-y-o, £23,000 5-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam (h64) maiden hurdler. Runner-up twice in Irish points, including latest outing (April 2022). Runner-up in two of his four points but absent since April 2022 and may be best watched.
2 10th (2) (50/1 -52%) Fat Harry	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Fat Harry 50/1, Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Silva Eclipse and showed more than first time up when sixth of 11 in a Carlisle novice but won't come into his own until tackling handicaps. Displayed some ability when sixth at Carlisle but he needs another big step forward here.
6 11th (6) (25/1 -56%) Justus	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Justus 25/1, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 16.5f), not disgraced last 2 starts. Sold from Ian Williams for only 12,000 gns in October. Two-time Flat winner; could make a hurdler but a pretty useful standard is required here.
13 12th (13) (4/1 -33%) Jar Du Desert	4 4/1(-33%)	(13) Jar Du Desert 4/1, Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Tom George prior to making a successful chasing debut in a 4-y-o event at Auteuil for N. George & A. Zetterholm in May. Has since changed yards again and looks a leading player with this step up in trip likely to suit. Won 4yo chase in France in May; could have a big say now back over hurdles on stable debut.
1 13th (1) (125/1 +17%) Exclusive Getaway	125 125/1(+17%)	(1) Exclusive Getaway 125/1, Fair form when second of 4 in Warwick bumper on Rules debut but has been well held both starts over hurdles. Second of four in sole bumper but tailed off last month on first two hurdle starts.
5 14th (5) (50/1 -178%) Hemicycle	50 50/1(-178%)	(5) Hemicycle 50/1, €10,000 3-y-o, £20,000 6-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including unreliable but fairly useful hurdler/chaser Uhlan Bute. Dam 2¼m hurdle winner in France. Maiden Irish pointer, runner-up last time (May 7). Former pointer; should have a future under rules but others are more compelling today.
10 15th (10) (250/1 -67%) Mount Falcon	250 250/1(-67%)	(10) Mount Falcon 250/1, Last of 3 finishers on the first of 2 starts in Irish points in the spring and went with no promise on his recent Rules debut at Carlisle. Third on debut in Irish maiden point but pulled up then tailed off the next twice.

The Dan Skelton-trained HELTENHAM was highly progressive over fences last season and can make a winning return to hurdles.

12:16 Lingfield Handicap (Class 6) 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (10/3 +45%) Fair Dinkum	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(9) Fair Dinkum 10/3, Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) 26 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he needs a couple of these to falter. Chance of first win largely depends on whether this new trip helps.
4 2nd (4) (13/2 +7%) Kalamity Kitty	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(4) Kalamity Kitty 13/2, 33/1, fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. Good chance if building on latest effort; now 3lb below last winning mark.
12 3rd (12) (80/1 -220%) Lilla Cross	80 80/1(-220%)	(12) Lilla Cross 80/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 30 days ago. Readily passed over. Inconsistent 3yo maiden; others preferred.
7 4th (7) (11/4 -10%) Wannabe Brave	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(7) Wannabe Brave 11/4, 7/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f) 39 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he merits consideration. Close fifth at Southwell last time; defied an 8lb higher mark a year ago; big player.
3 5th (3) (4/1 -14%) Where's Tom	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Where's Tom 4/1, Course winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (7/1) at this course (12f, AW) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and expected to be bang there. Consistent in the last 12 months and is on a workable mark; possibilities.
10 6th (10) (16/1 -33%) Sugar Candie	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Sugar Candie 16/1, Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Bath (17.1f, heavy) 31 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Still a maiden but pedigree suggests she should win at some stage.
5 7th (5) (28/1 -12%) Flying Standard	28 28/1(-12%)	(5) Flying Standard 28/1, 18/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 8 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Unconvincing form for current yard; best watched.
2 8th (2) (22/1 -57%) Ray's The One	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Ray's The One 22/1, Course winner. Latest success was gained at Chelmsford in June. Ninth of 12 in handicap (22/1) back there (14f) 30 days ago and opposable on the back of that display. Hard to dismiss, having scored at Chelmsford two starts ago (June).
1 9th (1) (12/1 -20%) Tin Fandango	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) Tin Fandango 12/1, C&D winner. Below form fifth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (17.1f, heavy) 31 days ago. Possibilities back on the AW. Long time since sole AW win but has a fighting chance off current mark.
6 10th (6) (50/1 -213%) Idilico	50 50/1(-213%)	(6) Idilico 50/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy, 11/1) 45 days ago. Opposable. Doesn't look solid judged on form for new stable.
11 11th (11) (200/1 -203%) O' Dells Star	200 200/1(-203%)	(11) O' Dells Star 200/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (12f, AW, 150/1) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip and and she needs to bounce back in a major way. No improvement in two AW runs for new stable; opposed.
8 12th (8) (8/1 -33%) Captain Howse	8 8/1(-33%)	(8) Captain Howse 8/1, Respectable third of 12 in handicap (4/6) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) when last seen 13 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Sir Mark Prescott Bt. Returns form 13-month absence and makes debut for new yard; market helpful.

Off a very handy mark and with Tommie Jakes taking off 7lb, WANNABE BRAVE gets the vote. Kalamity Kitty is feared most.

12:20 Navan Handicap Hurdle 20f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (7/1 +30%) Harvard Guy	7 7/1(+30%)	(9) Harvard Guy 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, below form tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy) 8 months ago. Earlier Fairyhouse second is good form and he can do better. Career best back up in trip in January but tailed off at Gowran when last seen; fair mark.
7 2nd (7) (4/1 -14%) Ask Anything	4 4/1(-14%)	(7) Ask Anything 4/1, 5/6, career best when winning 17-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) on hurdles bow/return 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut and can improve further. Point winner; defied absence when getting off the mark under rules last month.
11 3rd (11) (12/1 +25%) The Flier Begley	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) The Flier Begley 12/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f in chases. Below form ninth of 15 in handicap chase (20/1) at Ballinrobe (23f, good) 173 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Hood back on. Not taken lightly.

3 4th (3) (12/1 +40%) Ballycoose	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Ballycoose 12/1, Latest win in hurdle at Ayr in December 2021. Creditable ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 19 months ago. Won maiden hurdle at Ayr in Dec 2021; consistent since; likely to need this.
5 5th (5) (10/1 +17%) Rowdy Romeo	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Rowdy Romeo 10/1, Creditable third of 7 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Sligo (25.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. 3rd in maiden hurdle at Thurles in February; not at that level in 2 recent runs.
15 6th (15) (15/2 -15%) Rockbrook	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(15) Rockbrook 15/2, Good second of 10 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 27 days ago, first past the post but subsequently disqualified. Could gain compensation. Shaped with promise when 2nd at Listowel and first past post at Limerick since; up 4lb.
12 7th (12) (14/1 +0%) Bocelli's Voice	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Bocelli's Voice 14/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in March. 7/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, good) 168 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Off the mark in maiden hurdle at Clonmel; hasn't built on that twice since; tongue-tie on.
13 8th (13) (16/1 +52%) Elusive Guy	16 16/1(+52%)	(13) Elusive Guy 16/1, Creditable seventh of 15 in maiden (22/1) at this course (14f, heavy) 31 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle run. Left bumper form behind with maiden hurdle win last year; form patchy since; fit from Flat.
6 9th (6) (11/2 +21%) Sea Aster	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Sea Aster 11/2, Winner in hurdle at Tramore in August. Good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.5f, soft, 10/1) 16 days ago. Ought to go close. Won maiden hurdle at Tramore in August before going close on h'cap debut; fair 4th latest.
14 10th (14) (16/1 -113%) Mighty Jeremy	16 16/1(-113%)	(14) Mighty Jeremy 16/1, 3/1, good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Can go well again. Thwarted in hat-trick bid latest when caught late; won 2 previous runs over this trip.

8 13th (8) (18/1 -13%) Ebenezer Scrooge	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Ebenezer Scrooge 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good, 7/1) 160 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Promise in 2 of his runs last term but poor runs earlier this season; not well treated.

1 16th (1) (33/1 +0%) Kashi	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Kashi 33/1, Unseated rider in claiming hurdle (15/2) at Clonmel (19.8f, heavy) 51 days ago. Successful from 4lb lower on Jan 1st but struggled since; unseated after bad error latest.

12:35 Cheltenham Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/4 +0%) Burdett Road	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(2) Burdett Road 9/4, Very useful recruit from Flat (won Royal Ascot handicap in June) who easily landed a Huntingdon juvenile on his recent hurdle debut, despite a hard-pulling display in a first-time hood (retained). Sure to improve, particularly if the likely stronger pace in this better race helps him to relax. Best of these on the Flat (Group standard) and it was all very easy at Huntingdon.
1 2nd (1) (8/1 -45%) An Bradan Feasa	8 8/1(-45%)	(1) An Bradan Feasa 8/1, Showed a bit on his Flat debut in September and made a successful start over hurdles in a Ballinrobe maiden 13 days later (for Joseph O'Brien). Open to improvement for a new trainer who has quickly made a name for himself. It was a weak maiden he won at Ballinrobe but he did that comfortably.
9 3rd (9) (6/4 +8%) Milan Tino	1.5 6/4(+8%)	(9) Milan Tino 6/4, Has shown useful form when placed in listed and Grade 2 events at Auteuil this autumn. Sets a good standard for the rest to aim at. Two good runs in France and the latest now looks a particularly good effort.
3 4th (3) (33/1 -136%) Eagle Prince	33 33/1(-136%)	(3) Eagle Prince 33/1, Fair handicapper on Flat. Lost his way a little in that sphere this summer but revitalised by a switch to hurdles when seeing off 10 rivals at Sedgefield last month. This a good deal tougher, though. No great shakes on the Flat and it was a modest hurdle that he edged home in at Sedgefield.
6 5th (6) (5/1 +23%) Gifted Angel	5 5/1(+23%)	(6) Gifted Angel 5/1, Unable to win on Flat but been a different story over hurdles, scoring for third time from 5 outings when taking 12-runner juvenile at Kempton (2m, good) 27 days ago, finding extra. Will need more again but he might find it. Flat maiden but has taken really well to hurdling and his sound jumping will be an asset.
7 6th (7) (18/1 -29%) I Still Have Faith	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) I Still Have Faith 18/1, Fairly useful winner multiple Flat winner who was a smooth winner on his Wetherby hurdle debut last month. Definitely more to come from him. Consistent and useful on the Flat; made no mistake in a winnable hurdle race at Wetherby.
4 7th (4) (33/1 -32%) Ellerton	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Ellerton 33/1, Fairly useful Flat on the Flat in France for Tim Donworth. That level of ability suggests he can make an impact in juvenile hurdles but very much pitched in at the deep end on first attempt. Some useful Flat form; should stay fine over hurdles but up against it here.
10 8th (10) (100/1 -100%) Seraphic	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Seraphic 100/1, Won hurdle at Clarefontaine on final start in France in July but finished well beaten on UK/yard debut on Flat at Lingfield last month and is likely best watched here. Winning hurdler in France; tailed off on the AW on recent British debut; opposable.
8 \|C\| (8) (22/1 -22%) Knight Of Allen	22 22/1(-22%)	(8) Knight Of Allen 22/1, Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Galahad Quest (17f-2½m winner) and bumper winner Iliade Allen. This newcomer is bred for the job but he'll need to be really smart to make a winning debut at this level. Presumably showed up well at home to be kicking off in this company.
11 \|U\| (11) (300/1 -500%) Parish Star	300 300/1(-500%)	(11) Parish Star 300/1, Modest on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger and didn't achieve much when a remote fourth of 7 on his Chepstow hurdle debut 5 weeks ago. Outsider. Beaten a long way at Chepstow and looks booked for another minor part.
5 \|PU\| (5) (40/1 -60%) Galactic Jack	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Galactic Jack 40/1, Useful on Flat (stays 1½m) for Andrew Balding. New connections picked up for 50,000 gns in July. Interesting recruit to hurdles but watching brief the percentage call making his debut at this level of competition. Up and down on the Flat but useful at his best; can make a hurdler but this is tough.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (7/1 +50%) Findthetime	7 7/1(+50%)	(4) Findthetime 7/1, Completed a hat-trick as a novice hurdler (including victory here) but didn't really kick on from his seasonal return last year and took little interest on switch to chasing last week. Hard to fancy. Course hurdles winner but he was pulled up on recent chase debut at Sedgefield.
3 2nd (3) (13/2 -8%) Inedit Star	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(3) Inedit Star 13/2, Dual bumper winner in France showed fair form in a trio of starts over hurdles in the UK for Tom George last winter. Seemingly much improved when bolting up in the mud at Compeigne in May and he's not without interest sent chasing after another stable switch. 5yo who brings potential to his chase and stable debut and could have a major part to play.
2 3rd (2) (4/5 +20%) Nells Son	0.8 4/5(+20%)	(2) Nells Son 4/5, Useful novice hurdler (Grade 2 winner). Things didn't go entirely to plan following a solid second on return/chase debut last autumn but built on those efforts with a smooth success on reappearance over fences at Carlisle (2m) last month. More to come from him in this sphere. Won at Carlisle and is the only one of these who is proven over fences; solid candidate.
1 \|PU\| (1) (11/4 -83%) Jungle Jack	2.75 11/4(-83%)	(1) Jungle Jack 11/4, Point winner and useful handicap hurdler, successful twice again last season. 2m chases should be right up his street and he's a player first time up in this sphere on his return. 5-11 over hurdles and may improve for fences; could have a big say on chase debut.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (11/1 +8%) Alacrity	11 11/1(+8%)	(7) Alacrity 11/1, Twice-raced filly. 12/1, fifth of 8 in novice at this course (1m) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. This longer trip will suit but she'll need plenty of improvement. Bred to relish this longer trip and may well show improvement.
9 2nd (9) (9/1 -29%) Mohave Dancer	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Mohave Dancer 9/1, Promising type. Caught the eye with some late headway from the rear when eighth of 12 in novice at this course (1m) on debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve. Hinted at ability here three weeks ago; open to improvement upped in trip.
3 3rd (3) (10/3 +49%) Raheen Rode	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(3) Raheen Rode 10/3, Golden Horn colt. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Behkabad out of smart 1½m-15f winner Behkara. Respected newcomer. Debutant by Golden Horn out of a well-related dam; one to consider.
8 4th (8) (15/8 +16%) Games People Play	1.875 15/8(+16%)	(8) Games People Play 15/8, Promising sort. Third of 7 in novice at Goodwood (9f, soft) on debut 34 days ago. Open to improvement for good stable Showed clear promise at Goodwood last month, keeping-on third; the form choice.
2 5th (2) (7/2 -40%) Lanfranco	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(2) Lanfranco 7/2, By Frankel and out of the same connections' dual French Group 1 winner Cornonet. Makes obvious paper appeal. Newcomer by Frankel and the first foal of dual Group 1 winner Coronet; interesting.
6 6th (6) (40/1 +0%) Useless Ees	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Useless Ees 40/1, Cost 20,000 gns as a foal. By Ulysses and closely related to 1½m winners Choral Work and Made of Gold. Best to look elsewhere unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. 20,000gns foal; stable has a very low strike-rate with 2yos this term.
4 7th (4) (28/1 -12%) Ronnie Raven	28 28/1(-12%)	(4) Ronnie Raven 28/1, Raven's Pass gelding. Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), out of once-raced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Osaila. Probably best watched this time. Gelding by Raven's Pass out of a maiden; market can guide.
12 8th (12) (150/1 -355%) Waldora	150 150/1(-355%)	(12) Waldora 150/1, Well held on debut in France and only modest form when fifth of 7 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) since. Plenty of improvement will be needed. Something to find on her 1m turf form; handicaps available shortly.
1 9th (1) (150/1 -50%) Arch Legend	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Arch Legend 150/1, In good hands but has failed to beat a rival in 2 starts. No form claims, having finished last on both outings.
11 10th (11) (300/1 -200%) Perla Marina	300 300/1(-200%)	(11) Perla Marina 300/1, 28/1, eleventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (1m) on debut 17 days ago. Up in trip. Soundly beaten in 1m event at Kempton.
5 11th (5) (200/1 -100%) Succeed	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Succeed 200/1, 6,000 gns 2-y-o, Lord Kanaloa gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Maybe Just Maybe and half-brother to useful 1¼m winner Cougar. Would be a shock winner on debut. 6,000gns 2yo; yard has a modest strike-rate with 2yos.
10 \|PU\| (10) (6/1 -100%) Peaceful Love	6 6/1(-100%)	(10) Peaceful Love 6/1, 370,000 gns Galileo filly. Closely related to useful 1¼m winner Knight of Honour and 1¼m winner Princess Nadia. One of 2 very interesting newcomers from her leading stable and the betting should help to separate them. 370,000gns yearling; closely related to two 1m2f winner for her yard; interesting.

8 1st (8) (10/3 +63%) Fortunedefortunata	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(8) Fortunedefortunata 10/3, 11/2, bit below form ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Merits consideration. Winning start for this yard last year before promising 4th in this; lost his way since.
11 2nd (11) (20/1 +20%) Clarens	20 20/1(+20%)	(11) Clarens 20/1, C&D winner. 14/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, good) 22 days ago. Rattled off hat-trick two seasons ago incl' C&D; poor run at Cheltenham last time.
14 3rd (14) (7/1 -17%) Music Of Tara	7 7/1(-17%)	(14) Music Of Tara 7/1, Respectable second of 11 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy, 1/2). Off 7 months and down in trip here, she has to be taken seriously. Career best over 2m4f here in March; narrowly denied in maiden hurdle since; off 232 days.
3 4th (3) (25/1 -56%) One Last Tango	25 25/1(-56%)	(3) One Last Tango 25/1, Fifth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft, 11/4) 171 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Won twice last term; out of form when last seen and likely to need this.
15 5th (15) (12/1 -33%) Kudasheva	12 12/1(-33%)	(15) Kudasheva 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/4, bit below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, heavy) 37 days ago. Back down in trip and tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Difficult ask. Point winner; promise in maiden hurdles last term; unlikely to be suited by return to 2m.
13 6th (13) (16/1 -167%) Largy Shark	16 16/1(-167%)	(13) Largy Shark 16/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 3/1, didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good), soon clear. Off 7 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Bidding for belated hat-trick after a pair of novice hurdle wins in Britain last term.
17 7th (17) (50/1 -25%) Ballybaun Star	50 50/1(-25%)	(17) Ballybaun Star 50/1, Unreliable individual. 33/1, seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (25.7f, good) 96 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Looking flattered by maiden hurdle success now and tailed off last twice.
19 8th (19) (11/1 -38%) Theonewedreamof	11 11/1(-38%)	(19) Theonewedreamof 11/1, 12/1, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) 20 days ago, closing all way to line. Others more persuasive. Winner at Punchestown (soft) last year and bounced back to form with narrow defeat latest.
6 9th (6) (33/1 -106%) Rasiym	33 33/1(-106%)	(6) Rasiym 33/1, 33/1, good seventh of 13 in maiden at Tramore (16f, good). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Creditable on last hurdle run, albeit that was back in March 2021. Not seen over timber since 2021 and no wins since 2020; probably best watched.
5 10th (5) (50/1 -25%) Cafe Con Leche	50 50/1(-25%)	(5) Cafe Con Leche 50/1, Creditable fourth of 11 in minor event at the Curragh (12f, heavy, 20/1) 18 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Fairly useful hurdler, below form on last hurdle outing. First win since 2020 in h'cap hurdle in March; well held in similar ground last month.
9 11th (9) (12/1 +0%) Irish Blaze	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Irish Blaze 12/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in handicap chase (7/1) at Down Royal (16.4f, soft) 8 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Improvement needed. C&D winner; won over fences in summer and consistent but others better treated.
10 12th (10) (25/1 -79%) Top Moon	25 25/1(-79%)	(10) Top Moon 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving Ben Haslam when creditable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, soft, 22/1) 48 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Placed in Matheson and Munster National in his pomp; showed he retained ability latest.
2 13th (2) (16/1 +0%) Roseys Hollow	16 16/1(+0%)	(2) Roseys Hollow 16/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (5/1) at Listowel (17f, soft) 57 days ago. By no means ruled out back hurding and pitched into a handicap for the first time in this sphere. Better known as a chaser now but back on a good mark and conditions will suit.
1 14th (1) (22/1 +12%) Byker	22 22/1(+12%)	(1) Byker 22/1, 14/1, fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, soft) 22 days ago. Others more persuasive. Narrowly denied in Fred Winter; excuses twice since but progress required.

4 16th (4) (8/1 +33%) Banjaxed	8 8/1(+33%)	(4) Banjaxed 8/1, 8/15, didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner novice hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good), kept up to work. Off 6 months. Back down in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Others more persuasive. Creditable 5th in Kelso Gr 2; interesting back down in trip but form is on quicker ground.

Won 6-runner novice chase at Sligo (21.2f, heavy, 2/1) on debut over fences 52 days ago, forging clear. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (17/2 +6%) Easy To Follow	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(7) Easy To Follow 17/2, Runner-up on 3 of 4 starts in Irish points and shaped like a stayer switched to Rules when third in a Sedgefield bumper last month. Step up in trip will suit on hurdle debut. 2nd in three Irish points; showed enough in Sedgefield bumper to be given a second look.
3 2nd (3) (4/1 +67%) Rock Danse	4 4/1(+67%)	(3) Rock Danse 4/1, Unplaced completed start in Irish points but hinted at better to come at some stage on his belated Rules debut at Chepstow 18 days ago. Transformation needed after two Irish points (2021) and a recent 2m3f maiden at Chepstow.
2 3rd (2) (5/2 +38%) He Knows Better	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(2) He Knows Better 5/2, Showed fairly useful form when placed on 2 of his 3 bumpers starts for Harry Whittington last season. Must enter calculations on hurdle/stable debut. Has had a breathing operation since last seen. Staying-on 2nd in bumper at Ffos Las (soft) in April; wind surgery; could be major player.
6 4th (6) (10/3 +26%) Pearl Island	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(6) Pearl Island 10/3, Bred to stay well and shaped in kind in pair of bumpers, running green and taking second close home at Ludlow (15.7f) in April. Longer trip sure to suit now hurdling back from 6 months off. In the frame in bumpers; the first foal of a staying hurdler for these connections.
8 5th (8) (10/3 +52%) Saint Bibiana	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(8) Saint Bibiana 10/3, Left previous form behind when landing a course bumper in December. Outclassed in Grade 2 at Aintree on completed start since but should have a future over hurdles for new yard (has left Kim Bailey). Best efforts in bumpers for Kim Bailey, including heavy-ground win here, give her a chance.
4 6th (4) (16/1 -33%) Tara Cove	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Tara Cove 16/1, Won 3 times from 7 outings in points but well below expectations in a Kelso maiden hurdle on Rules debut 3 weeks ago, possibly amiss. Up in trip. 3-7 in Irish points; 11-2, faded to be beaten 20l in maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, soft).
5 7th (5) (50/1 +50%) Willwekeephim	50 50/1(+50%)	(5) Willwekeephim 50/1, Well held in 3 bumpers in Ireland for Peter John Flood and offered little sent hurdling in a first-time hood over C&D 41 days ago. 150-1 and hooded, stable/hurdle debut in C&D maiden (good to soft) was a heavy defeat.

13:10 Cheltenham Handicap Chase (Class 3) 25f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
17 1st (17) (12/1 -9%) Hascoeur Clermont	12 12/1(-9%)	(17) Hascoeur Clermont 12/1, Gained his first chasing success in 9-runner handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Hiked up 11 lb but he still can't be ruled out. Initially disappointing over fences but just did enough to open account last month.
3 2nd (3) (12/1 +0%) Chambard	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Chambard 12/1, Ended 2022 with success in the Kim Muir Chase over this C&D at the Festival. However, he largely struggled last term so has something to prove on his reappearance. Kim Muir winner in March 2022 and not far off that form here in April on latest outing.
6 3rd (6) (18/1 -13%) Undersupervision	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Undersupervision 18/1, Unreliable sort who has been pulled up on his last two starts, including over C&D three weeks ago. Would be a threat though if on a going day. Placed in two valuable handicaps last season but has a point to prove at present.
13 4th (13) (16/1 +11%) Wick Green	16 16/1(+11%)	(13) Wick Green 16/1, Thriving since joining Ben Pauling, already a three-time winner for the yard, and he shaped encouragingly after 3 months off when third of 19 to Mole Court over C&D 22 days ago. Well in the mix. Ran big race when third of 19 behind Mole Court over C&D last month; only 1lb higher today.
18 5th (18) (10/3 +45%) Read To Return	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(18) Read To Return 10/3, Low-mileage sort who easily got off the mark over fences in 7-runner novice chase at Killarney (23f, good to soft) 48 days ago. More to offer now going into handicaps. Player. Comfortably won modest beginners' chase last month; tackles much stronger opposition here.
16 6th (16) (12/1 +40%) Outside The Door	12 12/1(+40%)	(16) Outside The Door 12/1, Scored over fences at Punchestown in June and not disgraced since, fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle there last month. Needs considering back chasing. Finished well to win at Punchestown in June but, on balance, others look stronger here.
14 7th (14) (13/2 +19%) Mole Court	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(14) Mole Court 13/2, Has made a superb start to his chasing career, completing a four-timer in 19-runner handicap chase over C&D 22 days ago. Must enter calculations once more despite a further 5 lb rise. Won 19-runner C&D contest last month and is now 4-4 in cheekpieces; respected.
9 8th (9) (10/1 -25%) Brampton Belle	10 10/1(-25%)	(9) Brampton Belle 10/1, Resumed from 7 months off with an encouraging third of 7 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 20 days ago. This Irish raider can give another good account in her bid for a maiden chasing success. Made a very encouraging seasonal debut at Galway and could be ideally suited by this test.
20 9th (20) (16/1 +27%) Blame The Game	16 16/1(+27%)	(20) Blame The Game 16/1, Three-time chase winner last season but he ran poorly after 6 months off when remote fourth in handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good) 43 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Creditable fourth of 20 here (3m4f) in April but well beaten on seasonal debut in October.
11 \|U\| (11) (50/1 -100%) Cap Du Nord	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Cap Du Nord 50/1, A useful winner at his best but he turned in a lacklustre display without his usual cheekpieces when pulled up in handicap chase at Aintree (25f, soft) 20 days ago. Headgear is again left off here. 2lb lower than when collecting big prize in February but needs to better his recent form.
12 10th (12) (13/2 +19%) Strictlyadancer	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(12) Strictlyadancer 13/2, Took this in 2021 and comes here on the back of a solid fourth of 19 to Mole Court in handicap chase over C&D 22 days ago, faring best of those held up. Cheekpieces refitted. Player. Won this in 2021 and was placed in a big field over C&D last month; likely contender.
1 11th (1) (12/1 -33%) Latitude	12 12/1(-33%)	(1) Latitude 12/1, Took well to fences last season and he resumed his progress with an emphatic success in 12-runner handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good to soft) in May. Very much one to consider after a break. Struck form with two 3m wins in the spring and still has fairly low mileage.
8 12th (8) (33/1 +18%) Coeur Serein	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Coeur Serein 33/1, Inconsistent performer. Running below form when unseated rider last in handicap chase at Ascot (23.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Others appeal more. On a good mark now but has failed to shine in both outings this autumn.
7 13th (7) (12/1 +0%) Grandads Cottage	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Grandads Cottage 12/1, Irish point/hurdles winner who has made an excellent start in this sphere, going 2-3 over 2m3f at Market Rasen 7 months ago. One to be interested in again on his first go over this trip. 2-3 over rules fences; in a much more competitive race here but unexposed over the trip.
15 \|PU\| (15) (18/1 +28%) Plenty Of Time	18 18/1(+28%)	(15) Plenty Of Time 18/1, Lightly-raced sort who made light off an 11-month absence for another new yard when landing 2m4f handicap chase at Wincanton in October. Below par reverted to hurdles there since but could bounce back here. Won on stable/chase debut but last month but well beaten over hurdles a week ago.
19 \|PU\| (19) (25/1 -25%) Galon De Vauzelle	25 25/1(-25%)	(19) Galon De Vauzelle 25/1, In good form without winning until pulled up in novice chase at Fairyhouse (24.5f, heavy) 11 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Placed in eight chases during last year but needs to bounce back quickly from a poor run.

13:19 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
9 1st (9) (10/3 +39%) Bashers Reflection	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(9) Bashers Reflection 10/3, Improved performer switched to handicaps last season, winning 3 times at around 2½m. Creditable reappearance third at Wincanton (21f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Likely to be in the mix again. 3-6 in handicaps and this unexposed 6yo remains open to further improvement.
1 2nd (1) (4/1 +20%) Molly Ollys Wishes	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Molly Ollys Wishes 4/1, Won a course listed hurdle last autumn. Found the Silver Trophy at Chepstow too hot to handle on her reappearance but this useful mare is a potential class act giving weight away to lesser opposition. Has first-time cheekpieces added to her regular tongue tie. Two-time Listed winner here; however, form has gone wrong way; needs to turn things around.
4 3rd (4) (6/1 +0%) Rafferty's Return	6 6/1(+0%)	(4) Rafferty's Return 6/1, Course winner last Christmas. Off 6 months, looked and ran as if in need of outing when fifth of 9 on C&D reappearance a fortnight ago. Respected with that behind him. Has a good record here and runs off last winning mark; may have needed recent reappearance.
2 4th (2) (40/1 -150%) Sam's Choice	40 40/1(-150%)	(2) Sam's Choice 40/1, Fairly useful winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Joined another good stable but might be best watched on this first outing for 6 months. Below best on final few starts for Gordon Elliott but monitor the betting on stable debut.
8 5th (8) (18/1 -157%) Sporty Jim	18 18/1(-157%)	(8) Sporty Jim 18/1, Improved to win a 2½m Perth maiden hurdle in April 2022 but has been absent since. Retains potential as an unexposed sort from a powerful yard but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations given the length of his absence. Off since April 2022 but won back then and his trainer can ready one after an absence.
3 6th (3) (100/1 -100%) Foveros	100 100/1(-100%)	(3) Foveros 100/1, Mixed record for Willie Mullins and ran to a barely modest level when third in a 2m Huntingdon claimer on stable debut 13 days ago. Can only watch after that. Ex-Willie Mullins; well beaten in a Huntingdon claimer on his recent stable debut.
10 7th (10) (6/1 -20%) Copper Beach	6 6/1(-20%)	(10) Copper Beach 6/1, Much improved as he shed his maiden tag in runaway style upped to 2½m at Uttoxeter in June. Has largely remained in form since, finishing second of 10 at Sedgefield last time. Runner-up at Sedgefield last month and might not be far away.
11 8th (11) (40/1 -150%) Singapore Trip	40 40/1(-150%)	(11) Singapore Trip 40/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at his best in France. Brian Hughes does the steering on this stable debut so it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Well treated on peak French form but not at the top of his game this season; stable debut.
5 9th (5) (7/2 +13%) Serious Operator	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Serious Operator 7/2, Had a 3-5 record over hurdles for this stable last season and shaped well when seventh of 16 on his 2½m Cheltenham reappearance 22 days ago. Can build on that now. Good novice campaign last season and he could build on his recent reappearance run.
6 \|PU\| (6) (7/1 -40%) Haafapiece	7 7/1(-40%)	(6) Haafapiece 7/1, Good record here, including 2 handicap wins over this trip last season. Not at his best when well-held fifth on last month's Market Rasen reappearance but he's feasibly treated if a return to this venue sparks a revival. Two-time C&D winner who was runner-up over C&D on reappearance; key player.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (10/1 +0%) Popcorn Magic	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Popcorn Magic 10/1, Mastercraftsman colt. Dam unraced half-sister to King's Stand Stakes/Qatar Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp winner Goldream. Makes plenty of appeal on paper, so he's one to note first time up. Newcomer from a leading yard; heed the market signals.
6 2nd (6) (6/4 +0%) Indemnity	1.5 6/4(+0%)	(6) Indemnity 6/4, Again showed plenty of promise when second of 7 in maiden (6/4) at Newcastle (10.2f) 36 days ago, keeping on having travelled better than most. Can go one better with more still to offer. Promising second in two AW starts in recent months; taken to go one better now.
5 3rd (5) (5/4 -14%) Hosanna Power	1.25 5/4(-14%)	(5) Hosanna Power 5/4, After 11 months off, failed to progress from debut when second of 8 in maiden (13/8) at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 58 days ago. However, he's bred to be suited by this longer trip so he remains capable of better. Runner-up in 7f/1m maidens on turf; longer trip should suit now switching to AW.
1 4th (1) (5/1 +0%) Polling Day	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Polling Day 5/1, Won at this course on both starts back in 2021, landing the odds in 7-runner minor event (12f) on second occasion. Has lengthy absence to overcome on first run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Interesting contender. 2-2 in course novices for the Gosden yard in spring 2021 but off since.
11 5th (11) (28/1 -75%) Luna Dipinta	28 28/1(-75%)	(11) Luna Dipinta 28/1, 23,000 gns foal, 5,000 gns yearling, Zoffany filly. Sister to 1m winner Zoffany Street and half-sister to 1½m winner Persistence. Watch for market clues. Half-sister to a couple of winners; the betting should help guide to expectations.
2 6th (2) (150/1 +25%) Lookingdandy	150 150/1(+25%)	(2) Lookingdandy 150/1, Well held in bumper/poor form over hurdles, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 9/1) when last seen in May. Off 6 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Ben Pauling. Well beaten in a bumper and six hurdles for Ben Pauling.
9 7th (9) (200/1 -100%) Bloom Of Greece	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Bloom Of Greece 200/1, Green when ninth of 14 in maiden (150/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft) on debut 33 days ago. Looks one for the longer term she goes up in trip. No short-term promise on last month's turf debut.
8 8th (8) (125/1 -279%) Silk Purse	125 125/1(-279%)	(8) Silk Purse 125/1, Sir Percy filly. Half-sister to ungenuine 1½m winner Wally's Wisdom. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner) out of 1¼m-1½m winner Tidal. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on her belated debut. Best to look elsewhere on belated debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
3 9th (3) (80/1 -60%) Calshot Spit	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) Calshot Spit 80/1, Offered little when well-beaten twelfth of 15 in bumper (12/1) at Exeter (13.2f, soft) on debut 25 days ago. Major step forward required. Comfortably held in 1m5f Exeter bumper so can only be watched now switching to the Flat.
10 10th (10) (50/1 +50%) Dotties Moon	50 50/1(+50%)	(10) Dotties Moon 50/1, Ran to similar level as on debut when never-dangerous eleventh of 14 in minor event (200/1) at Kempton (1m) 12 days ago. Up in distance but will be of more appeal in handicaps. Both runs at 1m, hinting at ability on turf debut but well beaten on AW since.
12 11th (12) (100/1 +0%) Rapallo	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Rapallo 100/1, Again failed to beat a rival when well held in 5-runner maiden at Brighton (1m, good, 66/1) 89 days ago. Needs to leave her first 2 efforts well behind upped in trip. In good hands but well held in two outings over 1m (AW/turf) in the summer.
4 12th (4) (150/1 -355%) Green Go	150 150/1(-355%)	(4) Green Go 150/1, Showed a bit on his first outing when fifth of 8 in maiden (7/1) at Leicester (7f, heavy) in May. Significantly up in trip as he makes first run for yard after leaving Roger Varian. Modest fifth on sole run for Roger Varian; sold for only 1,000gns since.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (15/8 +58%) What's Up Darling	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(3) What's Up Darling 15/8, Fairly useful bumper winner who produced a promising first effort over hurdles when second of 18 in maiden at Limerick (16f, heavy, 13/8) 27 days ago. Yard in good form and he's sure to progress. Point winner; won a bumper and solid 2nd at Limerick last month; testing ground may help.
1 2nd (1) (11/8 -10%) Dee Capo	1.375 11/8(-10%)	(1) Dee Capo 11/8, Bumper winner who looked a useful prospect when landing the odds in 18-runner maiden at Cork (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 13 days ago, easily. Open to improvement. Improved to win Galway bumper before landing maiden hurdle; proven in the ground.
6 3rd (6) (10/3 -104%) She's A Fine Wine	3.333333 10/3(-104%)	(6) She's A Fine Wine 10/3, Fairly useful bumper winner for Olly Murphy who wasn't hard pressed to make a successful hurdling debut after 6 months off in 18-runner maiden at Limerick (2m) 27 days ago. Sure to go on to better things. Bumper winner who won at Limerick on yard debut last month; form knocked since.
2 4th (2) (11/1 +21%) My Gaffer	11 11/1(+21%)	(2) My Gaffer 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler who produced a rare-below par effort when seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy, 11/2) 20 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly. Solid 5th in valuable contest last term; not as good on slower ground in 2 recent runs.
4 5th (4) (50/1 -150%) Your Honor	50 50/1(-150%)	(4) Your Honor 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler who underperformed in first-time cheekpieces in this code when seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.6f, soft, 14/1) 110 days ago. Impressive at Limerick last term but hasn't gone on; lacks recent run.
5 6th (5) (40/1 -43%) Zolpharine	40 40/1(-43%)	(5) Zolpharine 40/1, Fair hurdler who ran about as well as could be expected in the face of a stiff task when fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Galway (20.7f, heavy, 40/1) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Not easy to make a case for at this level. Maiden hurdle win in September; fair 4th in novice hurdle latest but has a bit to find.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (4/6 -8%) Booster Bob	0.666667 4/6(-8%)	(1) Booster Bob 4/6, Successful in bumper at Ayr on debut but went backwards from that effort at Wetherby next time. However, after 6 months off and with hood applied, he made a winning start over hurdles in C&D maiden last month. Open to progress and he looks the one to beat. Created pretty good impression when scoring over C&D on hurdle debut; obvious contender.
6 2nd (6) (14/1 +79%) Crimson Ruby	14 14/1(+79%)	(6) Crimson Ruby 14/1, Modest form on first of 2 starts in bumpers but has offerred little in a pair of novice hurdles so far. Looks to be up against it as she drops in trip. Soundly beaten on first two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m5f).
3 3rd (3) (9/2 +0%) Letthedustsettle	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Letthedustsettle 9/2, Successful on his sole outing in points in March and shaped as if better for the run when sixth of 18 in novice at Wetherby (19.7f, soft) on his hurdles debut 2 weeks ago. Could make his presence felt with his recent outing behind him. Point winner in March and ran well to a point on recent stable/hurdle debut; e-w claims.
2 4th (2) (22/1 -10%) Come To Pass	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Come To Pass 22/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 10f) who has been without a win this year. Stepped up on his recent run when 2¼ lengths ninth of 12 at Lingfield 17 days ago, despite pulling hard, so he'll need to settle better as he goes over hurdles. Low-grade Flat winner; makes only limited appeal on this hurdling debut.
5 5th (5) (4/1 -14%) Wild Grouse	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Wild Grouse 4/1, Getaway gelding who cost £30,000 after easily winning on the third of his 3 starts in Irish points in March. Has joined a good stable for his Rules career and he's one to note on his hurdles bow, especially if the market vibes are positive. Bought for £30,000 after winning heavy-ground Irish point by 16l in March; rules debut.
7 6th (7) (22/1 +12%) It's For You Mum	22 22/1(+12%)	(7) It's For You Mum 22/1, Well held on her only start in bumpers and didn't get very far sent hurdling when falling at the first in novice at Hexham 8 days ago. Improvement needed. Fell at first flight when 100-1 for recent hurdling debut.
4 7th (4) (50/1 +24%) Tampico Rocco	50 50/1(+24%)	(4) Tampico Rocco 50/1, Poor form and headstrong in bumpers. After 13 months off, he was held but keeping on alongside the eventual third when falling 3 out in maiden at Huntingdon (19.6f) on hurdles debut last month. Others preferred. Looked held before falling at third-last flight on hurdling debut; faces a tall order.
8 \|PU\| (8) (66/1 -100%) Orbys River	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) Orbys River 66/1, Failed to complete both starts in Irish points, falling on the latest occasion in May. Has a fair standard to aim at as she makes her Rules debut. Set to finish second before last-fence fall in Irish point in May; rules debut today.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/4 +44%) Broadway Boy	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(2) Broadway Boy 9/4, Rangy sort who proved progressive over hurdles last term, gaining his third success from 7 starts at this venue (3m) in April. Made an impressive winning return/chasing debut at Worcester in September and found only Flooring Porter too strong over C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Strong form claims on the back of his recent C&D second behind Flooring Porter.
6 2nd (6) (11/4 +17%) Weveallbeencaught	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(6) Weveallbeencaught 11/4, Added to his bumper success when scoring over hurdles here on New Year's Day but failed to kick on from that. However, he did show some aptitude for chasing after 7 months off when third over C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago and should have more to offer in this sphere. Useful hurdler; should strip fitter for recent chase debut and that was a good effort.
4 3rd (4) (9/4 +44%) Good Risk At All	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(4) Good Risk At All 9/4, Useful hurdler who produced a pretty smart performance to score at Carlisle on reappearance in 2022/23 and repeated that feat in impressive fashion on chase debut just over 3 weeks ago, beating Alaphilippe by 16 lengths. Can develop into a very smart novice this winter so rates the one to beat. Impressed on chase debut; it's not a given that he'll stay 3m, but fair chance if he does.
5 4th (5) (5/1 -100%) Mister Coffey	5 5/1(-100%)	(5) Mister Coffey 5/1, Talented but rather frustrating performer who was placed again at the Festival when third to Gaillard du Mesnil in the NH Chase. Jumped bolding before tying up on the run-in when eighth in the Grand National at Aintree (34.3f, good) 7 months ago and fancied to be in the shake-up on return. 0-9 over fences but some major efforts in defeat; form claims are there for all to see.
1 \|PU\| (1) (12/1 -100%) Alaphilippe	12 12/1(-100%)	(1) Alaphilippe 12/1, Useful hurdler who hasn't stood much racing in recent seasons but offered something to work on sent chasing after 20 months off when 16 lengths second to Good Risk At All at Carlisle (20f, soft) recently. Step back up in trip is a positive and he's in top hands. First run for 588 days when beaten 16l by fellow chase debutant Good Risk At All.
3 \|PU\| (3) (80/1 +20%) Cloudy Flamingo	80 80/1(+20%)	(3) Cloudy Flamingo 80/1, Cloudings gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) After Hours. Winning pointer, pulled up last time (Mar 5). Faces a stiff task on Rules debut. Won a 3m British point last December but has failed to complete five of his other six.

5 1st (5) (9/2 +10%) Grandeur D'Ame	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(5) Grandeur D'Ame 9/2, Winning hurdler who dug deep to open his account in this sphere at Huntington in January and followed up from the front at Stratford (17f, soft) in March. Bit disappointing at Aintree when last seen but unexposed over this sort of trip and not dismissed on return. Soundly beaten on final two outings in March/May but this 7yo retains potential.
3 2nd (3) (13/2 -30%) Cornerstone Lad	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(3) Cornerstone Lad 13/2, Smart hurdler who scored over fences over bare 2m here in January 2022 off 13 lb higher mark. Tempting mark on return with Brian Hughes up and can go well if this doesn't become too much of a test. On a reduced mark and this two-time course winner could be firmly involved.
4 3rd (4) (6/1 -33%) Ubetya	6 6/1(-33%)	(4) Ubetya 6/1, Off the mark for this yard in 21f Cartmel handicap chase in May and respectable run in stronger race there next time. Not without a chance on reappearance. Has a good record when fresh and he could play a leading role on this return to action.
7 \|PU\| (7) (3/1 +14%) Lets Go To Vegas	3 3/1(+14%)	(7) Lets Go To Vegas 3/1, Runner-up completed start in Irish points and did well over hurdles last term, making it 2-3 when edging ahead in the dying strides in 3m Ludlow handicap. Struggled in valuable Newbury race final start but she's interesting starting out over fences now. 2-4 over h'dles; this unexposed point runner-up is an interesting contender on chase debut.
6 \|PU\| (6) (3/1 +33%) Good Work	3 3/1(+33%)	(6) Good Work 3/1, Runner-up 5 times over fences last season (went close over 3m here) and not disgraced in a big field at Cheltenham on his return, although he typically jumped none too fluently. Different headgear tried. 0-16 but runner-up on nine occasions and might not be far away in first-time blinkers.
1 \|PU\| (1) (5/1 +9%) Erne River	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Erne River 5/1, Useful over hurdles and fences (course winner). Shaped as if needing the run reverted to chasing after 6 months off in the Old Roan 3 weeks ago and could fare a lot better back here down 4 lb. Something to prove but may have needed recent reappearance & has dropped to enticing mark.

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (3/1 +10%) Storm Catcher	3 3/1(+10%)	(3) Storm Catcher 3/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 2/1) 9 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not taken lightly. Solid AW performer, fourth at Chelmsford nine days ago; firmly in the mix again.
6 2nd (6) (11/2 +50%) Forca Timao	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(6) Forca Timao 11/2, Off 4 months, 50/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip. Wouldn't dismiss. Showed something to build on on AW debut when fourth at Chelmsford; impossible to discount.
9 3rd (9) (10/1 +60%) Udaberri	10 10/1(+60%)	(9) Udaberri 10/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Creditable second of 6 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago. Poor strike rate but is threatening to come good soon, beaten only by a 3-y-o on the up to whom he conceded first run last time. Pulled clear with a progressive type at Chelmsford 16 days ago; shortlisted.
1 4th (1) (10/3 +17%) Greatgadian	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(1) Greatgadian 10/3, 15/8, improved on earlier efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 36 days ago. Back up in trip and, still feasibly treated following a 5 lb rise, he's got strong claims. Had tumbled in the weights prior to winning at Newcastle; major player for in-form yard.
7 5th (7) (4/1 +20%) Thundering	4 4/1(+20%)	(7) Thundering 4/1, Latest win at Ayr in September. Creditable thirteenth of 34 in Cambridgeshire (80/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Ayr winner in September and not beaten far in the Cambridgeshire; could have a say.
8 6th (8) (40/1 -344%) Expressionless	40 40/1(-344%)	(8) Expressionless 40/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 28/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, soft) 15 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Stamina to prove. Two wins in the spring but has shown little this autumn; needs cheekpieces to perk him up.
4 7th (4) (9/1 +0%) Citizen General	9 9/1(+0%)	(4) Citizen General 9/1, Course winner. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Latest win at Pontefract in August. Ninth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Epsom (12f, good) 82 days ago. Good record on AW and could return with a big effort. Runaway winner in blinkers at Pontefract in August but that run stands out from the rest.
2 8th (2) (10/1 -200%) Regheeb	10 10/1(-200%)	(2) Regheeb 10/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 11/2, fifth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 31 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Should have more to offer and can go well. Easy C&D winner in September and had an excuse next time; retains untapped potential.
5 9th (5) (40/1 -233%) Throne Hall	40 40/1(-233%)	(5) Throne Hall 40/1, Useful handicapper who tasted success twice over hurdles during second half of last year. Mixed bag under both codes since, though, fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, soft, 66/1) 15 days ago. Still useful on the Flat last summer but slim pickings this year.

4 1st (4) (15/8 +32%) Bob Olinger	1.875 15/8(+32%)	(4) Bob Olinger 15/8, High-class chaser. 15/8, respectable 11¼ lengths third of 6 to Echoes In Rain in Limestone Lad Hurdle at Naas (15.7f, soft). Off 9 months. Back up in trip and this C&D winner is in the picture. Was 2nd in this race last year; difficult to know what to expect but his yard is in form.
6 2nd (6) (5/4 +17%) Zanahiyr	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(6) Zanahiyr 5/4, Very smart hurdler who resumed with a win in 3-runner minor event hurdle at Punchestown (18f, good, 10/11) 39 days ago. Trainer going well. Leading contender. Won over 2m2f on comeback at Punchestown; well-treated by these conditions; big chance.
1 3rd (1) (7/2 -17%) Home By The Lee	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(1) Home By The Lee 7/2, Very smart hurdler. 9/2, pulled up in Liverpool Hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good) 7 months ago. Took this event 12 months ago so he needs considering on his return. Won this race last year but faces a tough task under a Grade 1 penalty in repeat bid.
5 4th (5) (50/1 -257%) Busselton	50 50/1(-257%)	(5) Busselton 50/1, Smart chaser. 7/1, well-beaten fifth of 7 to Saint Sam in Grade 3 chase at Killarney (20f, good). Off 6 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Difficult ask. Won the Kerry National last year but didn't repeat that form in four starts after.
3 5th (3) (11/1 +0%) Andy Dufresne	11 11/1(+0%)	(3) Andy Dufresne 11/1, Useful hurdler. 2¾ lengths last of 3 to Zanahiyr in minor event hurdle (11/1) at Punchestown (18f, good) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. This C&D winner is in the mix. Not a bad effort behind Zanahiyr at Punchestown; no reason why he should turn the tables.

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (2/1 +65%) Heritier	2 2/1(+65%)	(4) Heritier 2/1, Dual winner over fences last autumn but ended the season in a slump and fared little better on return at Carlisle 23 days ago. Others preferred. Well beaten in a chase on seasonal debut; now reverts to hurdling off much lower mark.
1 2nd (1) (16/5 +49%) Atreides	3.2 16/5(+49%)	(1) Atreides 16/5, Ran to a fair level on his hurdling/Rules debut at Down Royal but hasn't shown anywhere near as much in 3 outings since, albeit he should be sharper than for his recent stable bow and could do better now handicapping. Ran well for a long way in heavy-ground novice on stable debut; handicap debut today.
3 3rd (3) (2/1 +56%) Lifetime Legend	2 2/1(+56%)	(3) Lifetime Legend 2/1, Built on early promise to get off the mark in 19f female jockeys' event at Catterick in February and shaped as if back in form when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Entitled to be sharper here and merits respect. Ran okay last month, after a break, but would appeal more on better ground.
7 4th (7) (6/1 -13%) Coilrock	6 6/1(-13%)	(7) Coilrock 6/1, Point winner who offered little in a trio of maiden hurdles last season, but was in the process of stepping up on those efforts before his saddle slipped on return/handicap debut at Kelso (2¼m, good). More needed from out of the weights, though. Hood applied. In contention before saddle slipped on handicap debut; first-time hood; considered.
8 5th (8) (20/1 +82%) Ace Time	20 20/1(+82%)	(8) Ace Time 20/1, Little form since 2021 and latest display over fences was also discouraging. Hard to fancy. Out of sorts over hurdles last season and pulled up on chasing debut in June.

14:20 Cheltenham Handicap Chase (Class 1) 20f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (4/1 +20%) Stage Star	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) Stage Star 4/1, Excelled over fences last season, following up his victory in the traditionally-strong Timeform novice handicap here with victory in the Grade 1 Golden Miller at the Festival. No show at Aintree after but 3-3 first time up since his debut and a big run is surely on the cards. Two notable wins at Cheltenham last term, including Festival G1; major contender back here.
5 2nd (5) (7/1 +30%) Notlongtillmay	7 7/1(+30%)	(5) Notlongtillmay 7/1, Immediate improvement switched to fences for this yard last season, winning novice handicaps on first 3 starts before an excellent 3¼ lengths second to Stage Star in the Golden Miller at the Festival. Encouraging return over 2m here and couldn't be dismissed back up in trip. Progressive; second to Stage Star in the Turners; another good effort here on reappearance.
8 3rd (8) (12/1 +14%) Il Ridoto	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Il Ridoto 12/1, In first-time cheekpieces, finally put it all together to land good handicap over this trip on the New Course here on Trials Day from Fugitif, finding an end-product to go with his strong-travelling ways. Fair run in the Plate after but lacklustre in the Topham final start. Needs a bit more. Good form in major 2m4f handicaps here last term; Freddie Gingell takes off valuable 5lb.
3 4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Fugitif	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Fugitif 12/1, Came of age and looked a lot more mature last season, winning at Chepstow over Christmas and then second in good handicaps over this trip on the New Course, no match for Seddon in the Magners Plate at the Festival. Not so great at Aintree but could return with a big run in first-time cheekpieces. Second in three handicaps here last season; solid chance with cheekpieces added.
7 5th (7) (5/1 +29%) Unexpected Party	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Unexpected Party 5/1, Emerged with credit against some of the top-flight British novice chasers of 2022/23 (chased home Stage Star twice here) and made a fine return as he saw off Knappers Hill in listed Chepstow novice 5 weeks ago. He'll win a good handicap or 2 this season. Form stacks up well; should build on his Chepstow reappearance success; big player.
12 6th (12) (10/1 +60%) Easy As That	10 10/1(+60%)	(12) Easy As That 10/1, Looked a potentially smart chaser as he easily won handicaps at Haydock and Newcastle last term but rather blotted his copybook with a shocking display of jumping at Sandown final start. Still early days and returns with yard in flying form. Second-season chaser who may have further progress in him; yard in great form at present.
10 7th (10) (15/2 +53%) Angels Breath	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(10) Angels Breath 15/2, Must be extremely fragile but came back from a long absence to show promise in a couple of starts over fences last season and built on those after a further 7 months off as he ran a cracker in handicap hurdle here 3 weeks ago. On a tempting mark if building on that for red-hot yard. Lightly raced; runner-up over hurdles here last time; well treated on his 2019 chase form.
9 8th (9) (33/1 -65%) Whistleinthedark	33 33/1(-65%)	(9) Whistleinthedark 33/1, Ended last season unbeaten over fences, easily winning Perth handicap over this trip final start. Likeable attitude and could have more to offer this term, this big-field scenario likely to suit him. 1 of 2 interesting runners for his yard. 4-4 since switched to chasing; could improve further the way he's going; hard to dismiss.
6 9th (6) (33/1 -65%) Final Orders	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Final Orders 33/1, Has won handicaps on the level and over hurdles at Bellewstown this term but has underperformed on all 3 completed starts over fences since racking up a 5-timer last season (little impression at Chepstow 5 weeks ago). Tongue tie goes on now and probably still high enough in the weights. May raise his game; major Irish trainer had three winners at the meeting here last month.
13 \|F\| (13) (20/1 +0%) Torn And Frayed	20 20/1(+0%)	(13) Torn And Frayed 20/1, Made the breakthrough over fences as he won a Grade 2 handicap over this trip on the New Course when last seen in January 2022. Long absence to overcome and returns in a tough race but yard have plenty of previous in it (won 3 of the 10 renewals between 2008 and 2017). Absent since his 6l success in similar event here in January 2022; market instructive.
14 10th (14) (16/1 +36%) Harper's Brook	16 16/1(+36%)	(14) Harper's Brook 16/1, Made a good start over fences last season, winning Bangor novice handicap in the mud second start, but there were concerns over his attitude as the campaign ended, looking to throw things away at Sandown in April (looked in command last only to tie up and hang badly left). Best watched on return. Not fully exposed but comes with risk; idled badly and threw the race away last time.
1 \|PU\| (1) (13/2 +19%) The Real Whacker	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(1) The Real Whacker 13/2, Looks a high-class chaser in the making and is unbeaten over fences, all 3 of his wins coming here from the front, holding on from the equally-promising Gerri Colombe in the Broadway when last seen. Record fresh not great and has a huge weight to carry, but no surprise if he's up to the task. Three wins at Cheltenham since switched to fences, latest in the Brown Advisory; respected.
4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 +12%) Authorized Art	22 22/1(+12%)	(4) Authorized Art 22/1, Useful novice chaser who has returned with improved efforts in cheekpieces to finish in the frame in the Galway Plate and Kerry National the last twice, a pair of unexposed novices and a rejuvenated veteran just too strong for him at Listowel. This is even tougher. Ran well in major Irish handicaps the last twice but is an exposed sort.
11 \|PU\| (11) (40/1 -21%) Black Gerry	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Black Gerry 40/1, Won all 4 of his starts when completing last season, seeing off five rivals with another polished display in Plumpton handicap over this trip final start. Whole different test on return here but yard knows what it takes to win this. Two wins in April took his chase record to 5-10; faces a stiffer task at this level.

2 1st (2) (2/5 +40%) Favour And Fortune	0.4 2/5(+40%)	(2) Favour And Fortune 2/5, Easy winner of Southwell and Warwick bumpers last term. No impact in the Champion Bumper final start but easily made a successful debut over hurdles at Hereford (16.2f, good) last month. Sixth that day won since and with plenty more to offer, he looks the one to beat. Two-time hurdle winner who scored easily on his hurdle debut; leading claims under penalty.
4 2nd (4) (9/1 +18%) Bertie's Ballet	9 9/1(+18%)	(4) Bertie's Ballet 9/1, Useful dual bumper winner last season who should be capable of making his presence felt sent hurdling after 7 months off. Certainly worth a second look in the market. Two-time bumper winner; makes hurdle debut in warm race but he has potential.
5 3rd (5) (25/1 -317%) Delgany Bobby Blue	25 25/1(-317%)	(5) Delgany Bobby Blue 25/1, Shaped with promise under a considerate ride when runner-up in a Chepstow bumper in February. Never involved next time but offered plenty to work on after 7 months off/a wind operation when runner-up on hurdles bow at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) just under 6 weeks ago. Should improve. Runner-up on hurdle debut; improvement needed but he's in good hands to progress.
3 4th (3) (9/1 -100%) Tommy Time	9 9/1(-100%)	(3) Tommy Time 9/1, Irish bumper winner who matched that form at the second time of asking for new yard when runner-up under a penalty at Sedgefield last month. Didn't need to run to the same level to make a successful debut over hurdles at the same track (16.8f, soft) 19 days later and he's open to progress. Won on hurdle debut; improvement needed but this likeable prospect is not ruled out.
6 5th (6) (18/1 +10%) Finn Lough	18 18/1(+10%)	(6) Finn Lough 18/1, €12,500 3-y-o, £45,000 4-y-o, Milan gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart hurdler (winner up to 3m) Splendid Thyne and useful hurdler (stayed 25f) His Nibs. Won sole start in Irish points (Mar 12). Point winner who could go well on rules debut, especially if strong in the betting.
7 6th (7) (66/1 +34%) Hellenista	66 66/1(+34%)	(7) Hellenista 66/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 17f), well held at Musselburgh last month. Gets weight being the sole mare in the line-up but looks up against making her hurdling debut. On a losing run on the Flat and is probably best watched on hurdle debut.
1 7th (1) (8/1 -14%) Coniston George	8 8/1(-14%)	(1) Coniston George 8/1, Set some sound foundations in a trio of bumpers last season and did well in making a successful debut over hurdles after 7 months off at Kelso (16.2f, heavy) 3 weeks ago, conceding experience and track position to a well-backed pointer. Open to progress. Narrow win on hurdle debut; others have more substance to form but open to improvement.

3 1st (3) (4/1 -33%) Blue Trail	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Blue Trail 4/1, Smart gelding who posted a career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Meydan (9.9f, good) in February. Not in same form in Group 3 Earl of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket (9f, soft) 10 weeks later but fancied to make his mark in this after 7 months off. 11l winner at Meydan in February; that was smart but his British form is below that level.
6 2nd (6) (6/1 +67%) Tyrrhenian Sea	6 6/1(+67%)	(6) Tyrrhenian Sea 6/1, Smart gelding who was 3¼ lengths second of 8 to Lord North in Winter Derby at Lingfield over C&D in February. Tailed-off last at Kempton in April (bled) and was well held back on turf on return in Cambridgeshire at Newmarket 7 weeks ago. Now has a bit to prove. Well below par last twice but claims if recapturing February's Winter Derby form.
4 3rd (4) (12/1 -60%) Forest Of Dean	12 12/1(-60%)	(4) Forest Of Dean 12/1, Resumed with cosy Newcastle success in January and not disgraced when sixth of 8 to stablemate Lord North in Winter Derby over C&D in February. Proved a let-down when sent off joint-favourite in Easter Classic on All-Weather Finals Day at Newcastle 7 months ago so needs to hit the ground running. Pretty smart on AW but behind two of these rivals in Winter Derby and off since April.
1 4th (1) (9/4 +10%) Regal Reality	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(1) Regal Reality 9/4, Has won a Group 3 every year bar one since 2018, including 6-runner Diomed Stakes at Epsom in June. Narrowly denied by Mutasaabeq in Joel Stakes (16/1) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) just over 7 weeks ago and hold serious claims making just his second start on all-weather. Has had really good year, including 8.5f Group 3 win on turf; just as good on AW/over 1m2f.
7 5th (7) (12/1 +25%) Rousay	12 12/1(+25%)	(7) Rousay 12/1, Useful filly. 14/1, creditable 5 lengths third of 11 to Novus in Pride Stakes at Newmarket (10f, soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Likely to find life tougher back against the boys, for all that she does deserve credit for her consistency. In frame at Listed/Group 3 level lately but needs to raise her game to win this race.
2 6th (2) (3/1 -9%) Foxes Tales	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Foxes Tales 3/1, Won the Golden Gates Handicap at Ascot in 2021 and added an AW listed race to his tally in April. Didn't handle the track at Chester in May but excuses hard to come by in listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (10f, good) when last seen 5 months ago. AW Listed win in April; held on turf in May/June but can bounce back returned to AW.
5 7th (5) (16/1 -88%) Sir Busker	16 16/1(-88%)	(5) Sir Busker 16/1, Useful gelding who performed respectably after 6 months off when close seventh of 8 to Chindit in listed race at Sandown (8f, heavy) in September. Possibly amiss when well-beaten last in Darley Stakes at Newmarket (9f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago so percentage call is to look elsewhere. Below par when second in 1m Listed here in February and has continued below par since.

Took this event 12 months ago and looks a big player once more. Won this last year and can run well but has to give weight to some smart rivals today.
5 2nd (5) (5/1 +17%) Riviere D'etel	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Riviere D'etel 5/1, Smart chaser. 3/1, 4¾ lengths second of 6 to Space Tourist in listed mares event at Limerick (22.7f, heavy) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Switches from hurdles to chase and no forlorn hope with stable having good spell. Close 2nd in this last year; solid return over hurdles; a big player if back to her best.

4 1st (4) (5/4 -51%) Grain d'Oudairies	1.25 5/4(-51%)	(4) Grain d'Oudairies 5/4, Made a winning hurdles debut at Bangor last November and resumed with a very good second in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) 23 days ago, just failing having hit 2 out. Can gain compensation here. Went close on recent handicap debut, despite significant jumping error; strong claims here.
1 2nd (1) (10/3 +58%) Sizing Pottsie	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(1) Sizing Pottsie 10/3, Smart chaser for Jessica Harrington in 2021/22 but long way below that level for this yard so big leap of faith required, even from lower hurdles mark. Has had a wind op. Lost his way last season and his current ability is tricky to gauge.
5 3rd (5) (5/1 +38%) Polyphonic	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Polyphonic 5/1, Fairly useful Flat/hurdles winner. Turned in a rare poor effort for his new yard at Kempton last time but this consistent sort is the type to quickly bounce back. Made encouraging stable debut last month but dropped out tamely at Kempton on Monday.
3 4th (3) (7/2 -27%) Jolly Nellerie	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(3) Jolly Nellerie 7/2, Showed fairly useful form on all 3 starts over hurdles in France last summer, winning a juvenile at Aix-Les-Bains. Yet to fire on both runs for his current yard here though so needs to take a big step forward. French hurdle winner; make low-key start to British career but still has potential.
2 5th (2) (28/1 -12%) Elham Valley	28 28/1(-12%)	(2) Elham Valley 28/1, Landed Stratford seller in September for Fergal O'Brien but well held both runs since for his new yard at Southwell and Cheltenham. Something to prove. Made respectable stable debut last month but others have more appealing profiles.

14:55 Cheltenham Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (9/4 +55%) Buddy One	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(1) Buddy One 9/4, Smart handicap hurdler who came out on top in ready fashion in 15-runner handicap at Galway (21.9f, heavy, 7/2) 21 days ago. 9 lb higher here but he's likeable and versatile and this trip ought to be within range. Clearcut winner when upped to 2m6f (soft) three weeks ago; reliable and highly progressive.
14 2nd (14) (16/1 +11%) The Newest One	16 16/1(+11%)	(14) The Newest One 16/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler who produced a laboured effort in a novice at Uttoxeter on final outing in April, but is capable fresh, so it's possible he could bounce back after a break. Needs to improve on last season's hurdles form; best efforts on good or good to soft.
2 3rd (2) (17/2 -6%) Chantry House	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(2) Chantry House 17/2, High-class chaser at his best but failed to complete for the third start in succession at Wetherby when last seen on Boxing Day. Finished third in the 2020 Supreme Novices' Hurdle on his last hurdle start. Classy chaser; heavy fall Boxing Day 2022 when last seen; last hurdles run was March 2020.
13 4th (13) (33/1 -83%) Noble Birth	33 33/1(-83%)	(13) Noble Birth 33/1, Dual winner over hurdles (at up to 25.7f) for Gordon Elliott last year. Pulled up on his yard debut at Gowran but bounced back to form when second in 9-runner handicap at Ayr (24.3f) 14 days ago, albeit well placed in a tactical affair. Nudged up 3 lb. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Back-to-form second two weeks ago; cheekpieces today; peak efforts on good or good to soft.
9 5th (9) (16/1 +11%) Real Steel	16 16/1(+11%)	(9) Real Steel 16/1, One-time top-class chaser who shaped as if back in form when sixth of 12 in handicap chase (18/1) at Limerick (24f, heavy) 27 days ago. First hurdle start since April 2018. Won a top 3m handicap chase at Leopardstown last Christmas; first hurdle race since 2018.
8 6th (8) (25/1 -108%) Come On Teddy	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Come On Teddy 25/1, Dual hurdles winner who hasn't been seen since pulling up over fences here 20 months ago and is probably best watched on his comeback. Did well over 3m here as a hurdler three seasons back; absent since March 2022.
12 7th (12) (22/1 -57%) Polish	22 22/1(-57%)	(12) Polish 22/1, Finished runner-up all 5 starts last season, including over fences, and has each-way claims if returning in similar form. Runner-up on all five starts this term; this race promises to be a bit too competitive.
6 8th (6) (5/1 +29%) Judicial Law	5 5/1(+29%)	(6) Judicial Law 5/1, Gained a third win of the season in first-time cheekpieces when leading in the dying strides over 3¼m at Kelso in September. Ran even better in defeat in a competitive handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago and seems highly likely to give another good account. Strong-finishing second of 20 over C&D latest; up another 3lb but probably in the shake-up.
3 9th (3) (40/1 -186%) Dartan	40 40/1(-186%)	(3) Dartan 40/1, Resumed winning ways on the level at Bellewstown in August and followed up back over hurdles there a day later. However, not at his best on his last 2 starts on the Flat. Did well this summer; however, well beaten in his three Irish runs on soft or heavy.
15 10th (15) (150/1 -200%) Hunting Percival	150 150/1(-200%)	(15) Hunting Percival 150/1, Bagged his second hurdles success at Stratford in August but below par in his 2 outings since (well-held third latterly). Hard to fancy from well out of the weights. Inconsistent, with more to prove on worse than good to soft; also 8lb out of the handicap.
5 11th (5) (28/1 -27%) Minella Trump	28 28/1(-27%)	(5) Minella Trump 28/1, Well placed to win 8 his 9 starts in 2021-22 and made successful reappearance at Perth (23.8f) in June 2022. Failed to stay in Grand National on final start and it's possible this could be a pipe opener back over hurdles after 7 months off. Well treated on best chase efforts but still has plenty to prove, notably on soft ground.
11 12th (11) (10/1 +9%) Moka De Vassy	10 10/1(+9%)	(11) Moka De Vassy 10/1, Fairly useful maiden hurdler who put an underwhelming reappearance behind him back up in trip when third in 10-runner handicap at Exeter (23.1f, soft, 18/1) 25 days ago, despite jumping poorly. Needs to back that up now. Surged back to form when close third of ten in handicap at Exeter (2m7f, good) last time.
10 \|PU\| (10) (7/2 +42%) Placenet	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(10) Placenet 7/2, Useful hurdler/chaser in France who looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark on his UK/stable debut. Big chance if seeing out the longer trip. 8-18 in France; going beyond 2m6f for first time may well suit; also looks on a good mark.
4 \|PU\| (4) (12/1 -85%) Shan Blue	12 12/1(-85%)	(4) Shan Blue 12/1, Grade 1 winner as a novice who was in the process of delivering a most impressive display when falling 3 out in Charlie Hall on return 2 years ago. Raced only 3 times since and was pulled up when last seen on Boxing Day, but he goes well fresh so worth a second look back over hurdles. Big-race entries over fences next month; questions on first hurdles run since March 2020.
7 \|PU\| (7) (50/1 -79%) Walking On Glass	50 50/1(-79%)	(7) Walking On Glass 50/1, Ran right up to his best back hurdling on the back of a series of creditable efforts on the Flat when second in a Gowran handicap at the end of September. Wasn't up to better company at Thurles the following month but this is more suitable. 7-53 overall and he's proved himself thoroughly at about 3m on testing ground; needs extra.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (15/8 -50%) Richmond Lake	1.875 15/8(-50%)	(1) Richmond Lake 15/8, Didn't look back following low-key start over fences last season, winning 3 of his 4 subsequent starts in that sphere, including a handicap at Ayr (20.5f, good) when last seen in April. 3 lb lower back hurdling and a bold show likely with trip/ground no problem. Well treated on last season's chase form and he's respected on his reappearance.
3 2nd (3) (11/4 -46%) Punta Del Este	2.75 11/4(-46%)	(3) Punta Del Este 11/4, Winner in France and promising start for this yard when third in the Victor Ludorum at Haydock (15.6f, good to soft) in February. Shaped up quite well in Fred Winter next time and probably best to excuse his latest effort at Ascot, so he remains of interest. French winner; in top hands and this 4yo could post a big performance back from a break.
4 3rd (4) (4/1 +33%) Start In Front	4 4/1(+33%)	(4) Start In Front 4/1, All-the-way winner of a C&D juvenile hurdle on British debut last December but it wouldn't be harsh to say that he subsequently failed to build on that, for all that he was a creditable second in a Sedgefield handicap in February. Improvement needed. Down the field when last seen but this course winner is not ruled out back from a break.
2 4th (2) (3/1 +33%) It's Good To Laugh	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) It's Good To Laugh 3/1, Made up into a pretty useful novice a couple of seasons back, despite some seriously errant jumping. Issues in that department came home to roost when pulled up on sole hurdles start last term and while much of his form on the Flat since has been solid, he clearly comes with risks attached. Pulled up in March on latest hurdle outing but some good Flat form since; capable.

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (3/1 +50%) Willem Twee	3 3/1(+50%)	(6) Willem Twee 3/1, Smart gelding. 2/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago, slowly away. Excellent record on AW and has the scope for better still, so worth chancing. Stylish winner of a Class 3 h'cap 17 days ago; should be up to this level in time; chance.
9 2nd (9) (22/1 -144%) Kinta	22 22/1(-144%)	(9) Kinta 22/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. Hooded for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 13/2) 51 days ago. Respected. Back to form when winning good fillies' handicap at Newmarket in September; not ruled out.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 +58%) Exalted Angel	14 14/1(+58%)	(3) Exalted Angel 14/1, Useful gelding. C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 8 days ago, finishing with running left. Not completely dismissed. Eye-catching effort back from a break last week; C&D winner; losing run dents enthusiasm.
2 4th (2) (7/1 +22%) Aberama Gold	7 7/1(+22%)	(2) Aberama Gold 7/1, Smart gelding. 5 wins from 17 runs this year. Respectable 3 lengths fourth of 9 to Tacarib Bay in listed race at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 7 days ago, running on. Not ruled out from handy draw. Five wins this year; not seen to best effect last week; big run looks on the cards.
4 5th (4) (7/4 -75%) Mischief Magic	1.75 7/4(-75%)	(4) Mischief Magic 7/4, Smart gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 4/5, didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner minor event at Kempton (6f) 45 days ago, driven out. Obvious claims. Group 1 winner at two; 2-2 on AW; latest Kempton win workmanlike rather than impressive.
7 6th (7) (4/1 +53%) Pink Crystal	4 4/1(+53%)	(7) Pink Crystal 4/1, Useful filly. C&D winner. 12/1, good length third of 10 to Annaf in Bengough Stakes at Ascot (6f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Should go well again. C&D winner; impressive late burst to win at Ayr in Sept; good third in Gr 3 latest; chance.
5 7th (5) (11/1 +39%) Summerghand	11 11/1(+39%)	(5) Summerghand 11/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at York in August. 28/1, below form fourteenth of 22 in handicap at York (6f, soft) 35 days ago, left poorly placed. Could get involved if things drop right. 2-4 over C&D, including this race last year; had an excuse last time; could bounce back.
8 8th (8) (80/1 -21%) Cruise	80 80/1(-21%)	(8) Cruise 80/1, Fairly useful filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in June. 17/2, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 87 days ago. Difficult ask. Two AW wins for this yard but faces an uphill task on these terms from the widest stall.
11 9th (11) (150/1 -50%) Sweet Harmony	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Sweet Harmony 150/1, Fairly useful filly. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 6½ lengths sixth of 9 to Tacarib Bay in listed race (100/1) at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Out of depth. Her limitations at this level seem established now and she would be a surprise winner.
10 10th (10) (125/1 -89%) Magnificence	125 125/1(-89%)	(10) Magnificence 125/1, Fairly useful mare. Latest win at Bath in August. 11/4, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 47 days ago, running on. Easy to look elsewhere. In good form in sprint handicaps in recent months but looks to be flying too high today.

15:15 Navan Maiden Chase 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (8/15 +15%) Facile Vega	0.533333 8/15(+15%)	(3) Facile Vega 8/15, Won all 4 starts in bumpers and also a very smart dual Grade 1 novice hurdle winner last season. Likely to go to the very top over fences too. Champion bumper horse won two Grade 1 novice hurdles; sets the standard on chasing bow.
5 2nd (5) (15/8 +32%) Inthepocket	1.875 15/8(+32%)	(5) Inthepocket 15/8, Cost £290,000 after winning his sole point and quickly made up into a smart novice over hurdles, fourth (reoppsing Facile Vega second) in the Supreme before landing Aintree Grade 1 on final start in April. Most exciting recruit now chasing. High-class novice hurdler last year, winning a Grade 1; won a point so knows how to jump.
9 3rd (9) (9/1 -20%) Saint Felicien	9 9/1(-20%)	(9) Saint Felicien 9/1, Ex-French winner who scored impressively on yard bow at Gowran before fine second to Darasso in Grade 3 Limestone Lad at Naas. Lack of experience found him out in Coral Cup at Cheltenham but he remains a good prospect. Classy sort; stable jockey aboard and can run well if ready for chasing debut on comeback.
10 4th (10) (25/1 -14%) Spillane's Tower	25 25/1(-14%)	(10) Spillane's Tower 25/1, Promising individual. Useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Fourth of 9 in novice at Galway (18.2f, heavy, 7/4) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Should improve. Decent 4th in a Galway novice chase (7/4 fav') but will have to improve plenty from that.
2 5th (2) (50/1 -52%) Dreal Deal	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Dreal Deal 50/1, Useful hurdler who was placed in 2 chases for Ronan McNally in the spring. Warmed up for this with a spin on AW Flat for new yard 15 days ago. The best of three chase starts when 3rd at Tipperary in April; run respectably if at best.
11 6th (11) (66/1 +0%) Verdant Place	66 66/1(+0%)	(11) Verdant Place 66/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Similar form on Fairyhouse chase debut but well-held fifth back there since. Ran well enough on chasing debut at Fairyhouse but was below that level back there since.
1 7th (1) (125/1 -25%) Ahead Of The Posse	125 125/1(-25%)	(1) Ahead Of The Posse 125/1, Fairly useful hurdler but below that level both chase starts. Up against it here. Third in a Tramore novice chase but tailed-off at Sligo since; out of his depth today.
12 8th (12) (100/1 +0%) Kates Hill	100 100/1(+0%)	(12) Kates Hill 100/1, Fair hurdler. 100/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 11 days ago. Open to progress but this is a very hot race. Well beaten on chasing debut; out of her depth in this company.
4 9th (4) (80/1 -60%) Hands Of Gold	80 80/1(-60%)	(4) Hands Of Gold 80/1, Promising sort. Useful hurdle winner. Fifth of 9 in novice at Galway (18.2f, heavy, 7/1) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Should have more to offer in this sphere. Beaten 16l in a Galway novice chase on return and has to improve loads on that.
8 \|F\| (8) (22/1 -22%) Sa Fureur	22 22/1(-22%)	(8) Sa Fureur 22/1, Useful hurdler. 13/2, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, soft), eased after next. Off 8 months. Makes chase debut. Stable in good form. Disappointing in the Coral Cup but has the ability to run well on chasing debut.
7 \|F\| (7) (200/1 -100%) Rumoroso	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Rumoroso 200/1, Absent since winning a Downpatrick maiden chase for Willie Mullins in spring 2021. Makes chase debut for new yard with tongue tie added. Can only watch. Won a maiden hurdle in July 2021 when trained by Willie Mullins but unseen since.
6 10th (6) (80/1 +20%) Jump The Shark	80 80/1(+20%)	(6) Jump The Shark 80/1, Fair hurdler. Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good, 2/1) 150 days ago. Makes chase debut. Maiden is rated 104 after eight hurdle starts and is out of his depth.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (5/1 -25%) James Jet	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) James Jet 5/1, Winning pointer who showed most form in a couple of hurdling outings but caught the eye with his finishing effort when third in a novice at Ffos Las 6 months ago. One to note on handicap debut. Unexposed 6yo who shaped with significant promise in two maiden hurdles in the spring.
6 2nd (6) (15/2 +38%) Hi Riko	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(6) Hi Riko 15/2, Lightly raced and just poor form over hurdles to date, so big step up required if he's to make an impact after 7 months off. Tongue tied for the first time. Kept on for fourth over 2m on handicap debut in April; this trip may suit him better.
7 3rd (7) (4/1 +33%) Richardson	4 4/1(+33%)	(7) Richardson 4/1, Poor handicap hurdler who made a mildly encouraging start for this stable when third in a handicap at Chepstow 10 days ago. Claims if he can build on that. Well suited by heavy ground and stayed on well for third on recent seasonal debut.
3 4th (3) (18/1 -13%) Pilgrims King	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Pilgrims King 18/1, Lost his way over hurdles last year and didn't fare much better on chasing debut in December. Not seen since but handicapper has given him a chance. Not seen since disappointing chase debut in January and not yet proven on slower ground.
5 5th (5) (14/1 -40%) Ginderella	14 14/1(-40%)	(5) Ginderella 14/1, Poor form in 3 qualifying runs this term but more impact when third at Chepstow on handicap debut 7 months ago. Likely to need this, however. Kept on well for third on handicap debut at Chepstow in April; enters calculations.
2 6th (2) (5/4 +17%) Awesome Foursome	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(2) Awesome Foursome 5/4, Latest win in hurdle at Perth in September. 13/8, second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) 23 days ago. Stable is in top form and promising conditional takes 5 lb off, so leading claims. Back from break in good form this autumn and will be fine on today's ground.
4 \|PU\| (4) (17/2 -13%) Gamesters Girl	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(4) Gamesters Girl 17/2, Low-mileage mare who was pulled up when last seen in September but returns from a short break with her stable in excellent form. Not ruled out. Placed in modest maiden in August but pulled up when back in a handicap.

Form	Odds	Runs
1 1st (1) (2/1 -6%) Springwell Bay	2 2/1(-6%)	(1) Springwell Bay 2/1, Smart bumper performer in 2021 and useful novice hurdler last season, winning 3 times. A Grade 1 proved a step too far on final start but he remains one who can go on to better things in handicaps this time round. Put in his place in 2m4f Grade 1 novice at Aintree in April but still ran respectably.
5 2nd (5) (4/1 +33%) Gyenyame	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Gyenyame 4/1, Fair 2m Flat winner for Andrew Balding and struck at the third time of asking over hurdles in 2½m Wincanton maiden in March. Good reappearance second of 12 in a 21f handicap at the same course 3 weeks ago. Merits consideration for a yard going well. Good second off 3lb lower at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) three weeks ago on fifth hurdles start.
7 3rd (7) (22/1 -57%) Tiger Jet	22 22/1(-57%)	(7) Tiger Jet 22/1, Career best when winning 15-runner 3m Haydock handicap in April but has struggled since, including pulling up on his recent return from a break at Wetherby. Needs to leave that well behind. Won 15-runner series final at Haydock (3m) in April; backward steps in his 3 runs since.
9 4th (9) (11/1 -22%) Wonderful Eagle	11 11/1(-22%)	(9) Wonderful Eagle 11/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in Germany. Kicked off his hurdle career with maiden/novice wins at Newton Abbot at the end of summer. Lost his unbeaten record but ran well again when third in 21.5f handicap there 4 weeks ago. 4 lb out of the weights. 113 over hurdles; needs a good deal better but useful German Flat form gives some hope.
2 5th (2) (11/1 +31%) Rock My Way	11 11/1(+31%)	(2) Rock My Way 11/1, Winning Irish pointer who landed a 2½m course Grade 2 novice hurdle in January but hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 3 subsequent outings here, fading to finish well held in 3m handicap on reappearance 3 weeks ago. Back down in trip. Made a cracking start to hurdles career here in January; concern after last three starts.
8 6th (8) (8/1 -7%) Londonofficecallin	8 8/1(-7%)	(8) Londonofficecallin 8/1, Has thrived lately, gaining a fourth win since June (2 of them on Flat) when seeing off 14 rivals in a 23f Killarney handicap at the beginning of October. 3 lb out of the handicap here, though, and will need a big career best if he's to add to his haul. Going great guns but this mark seems to ask a lot more, especially 3lb out of the handicap.
3 7th (3) (10/3 -11%) Resplendent Grey	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(3) Resplendent Grey 10/3, Looked a good prospect in bumpers and won first 2 starts over hurdles in the spring. Advanced his form again when 9½ lengths second of 7 to Captain Teague in Grade 2 Persian War on Chepstow reappearance and there's likely more to come now switching to a handicap. No match for winner in Grade 2 novice at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) but beat the rest.
4 8th (4) (14/1 +36%) Another Choice	14 14/1(+36%)	(4) Another Choice 14/1, This Irish raider ran right up to his best when 6 lengths fourth of 19 in 23f Punchestown handicap last month. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue tie on this first trip to Britain. Inconsistent in last five runs; drops back in trip; more to prove on soft; cheekpieces now.
6 9th (6) (80/1 -142%) Fortunefavorsdbold	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Fortunefavorsdbold 80/1, 3m maiden hurdle winner for Paul Nolan in Ireland last season. Let down by jumping switched to fences on her recent yard debut and quickly reverts to the smaller obstacles. Others more obvious. Irish 3m maiden winner; the jumping did not go well on stable/chase debut last month.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/1 -64%) East Street	9 9/1(-64%)	(2) East Street 9/1, Fairly useful winner over hurdles and ran to a similar level switched to chasing last season, scoring over C&D in March. Lacklustre return at Carlisle a month ago but might come on for it. Three of his runs last season put him in the mix; pulled up on reappearance one month ago.
5 2nd (5) (20/1 -82%) Best Trition	20 20/1(-82%)	(5) Best Trition 20/1, Left his chase debut/reappearance effort well behind when leading near the finish at Ffos Las (heavy) in January. However, endured a hard race and he took little interest subsequently. 7-month break should have helped. Did little after January win; perhaps seven months off can help him to regain the spark.
1 3rd (1) (15/2 -88%) Southern Sam	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(1) Southern Sam 15/2, Very lightly raced for his age and, while he was pulled up when last seen, he goes well fresh and returns from 7 months off with his stable going well. One to consider. Pulled up in April when trying 3m4f on latest start; no shock if he's back to form.
3 4th (3) (7/2 +30%) Ladronne	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(3) Ladronne 7/2, Well treated and looked as good as ever when fourth at this course a fortnight ago. Step back up in trip looks in his favour, so he's likely to make an impact. Respectable show two weeks ago after his break; considered back on his last winning mark.
6 5th (6) (7/2 -17%) Horacio Apple's	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(6) Horacio Apple's 7/2, Dual hurdles winner who shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth in a handicap at Kelso on chasing debut. Stable is going well and he should know more now, so worth chancing. Two hurdle wins early this year; off 220 days before well-beaten favourite on chase debut.
7 6th (7) (50/1 -178%) Sigurd	50 50/1(-178%)	(7) Sigurd 50/1, Three-time C&D winner who was pulled up when last seen at Market Rasen 11 months ago. Always deserves respect at this track but hard to know if he'll be fully tuned up. 352-day absence looks a big negative on previous campaigns; usual tongue-tie is removed.
8 7th (8) (11/1 +31%) Le Grand Vert	11 11/1(+31%)	(8) Le Grand Vert 11/1, Hurdles winner in France in summer 2021. No impact over hurdles for this yard but more encouragement in two chasing outings in the spring. Might need this return from 7 months off. 2nd at 2m7f (heavy) in March on his first British chase start; not so good 13 days later.
4 \|U\| (4) (9/4 +32%) Readysteadybeau	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(4) Readysteadybeau 9/4, Overcame mistakes to get off at the fourth attempt over fences at Ayr (21.5f) in February and bounced back from a fall to run out a dominant winner at Perth in April. Respectable return at Carlisle last month and should be spot on now. Won twice in novice campaign; favourite when well held on reappearance last month.
9 \|PU\| (9) (22/1 +0%) Ballynagran	22 22/1(+0%)	(9) Ballynagran 22/1, Resumed winning ways at Hexham in May but highlighted his unreliability both starts since, and others make more appeal. 3m chase wins in January (C&D, soft) and May under front-running rides but hard to predict.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (9/1 -100%) Bankrupt	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Bankrupt 9/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Won 8-runner handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 25 days ago by head from Nordic Glory, always holding on. Firmly in the picture. Won 3 of last 5 starts, last twice over 6f and 5f on AW; well held in 3 previous runs here.
4 2nd (4) (11/2 -65%) Nordic Glory	5.5 11/2(-65%)	(4) Nordic Glory 11/2, 5-time course winner. 15/8, won 10-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 22 days ago. Overcame a wide draw there so he's expected to be bang there despite a 3 lb rise. Very tight with Bankrupt on 5f form; since made all from this draw over C&D; bang there.
3 3rd (3) (4/1 +27%) Ben Dikduk	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Ben Dikduk 4/1, 11/2, good third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 44 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes. Shortlisted. Not yet off the mark but getting there, switched twice when 3rd latest (6f); new yard.
7 4th (7) (66/1 -164%) Puffable	66 66/1(-164%)	(7) Puffable 66/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, last of 7 in handicap at this course (5f, AW) 23 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes with more required. Good start for previous yard in June; needed excuses since; down weights; new trainer.
5 5th (5) (5/1 +64%) Kitbag	5 5/1(+64%)	(5) Kitbag 5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D novice winner; good 2nd here in March; not ruled out back here with cheekpieces on.
12 6th (12) (5/1 +23%) Sassy Redhead	5 5/1(+23%)	(12) Sassy Redhead 5/1, C&D winner. 5/2, good second of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 11 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Has run well all 3 C&D starts, winning one last winter; creditable show back here latest.
9 7th (9) (33/1 -313%) I'm Mable	33 33/1(-313%)	(9) I'm Mable 33/1, Latest win at Brighton in June. 11/2, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) 89 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly. All 4 wins at about 5f; has more to prove back over 6f on return from 3-month break.
6 8th (6) (12/1 -60%) Muy Muy Guapo	12 12/1(-60%)	(6) Muy Muy Guapo 12/1, 9/2, creditable third of 5 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 30 days ago, never nearer. Can give a good account. Maiden; two good turf runs since gelded but slow starts have cost him on AW this autumn.
8 9th (8) (20/1 -167%) Corinthia Knight	20 20/1(-167%)	(8) Corinthia Knight 20/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap (11/4) at Chelmsford City (6f) 21 days ago. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Triple course winner; in good form on turf but well held back on AW latest; squeak even so.
10 10th (10) (5/1 +64%) Reve De Magritte	5 5/1(+64%)	(10) Reve De Magritte 5/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Won at about 1m on Polytrack in France; running well with excuses on AW of late.
11 11th (11) (12/1 +25%) Wadi Bani	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) Wadi Bani 12/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Fair seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 12/1) 10 days ago. Merits consideration. Healthy weights drop in recent months but not been nailing it since returned to 6f.

Form	Odds	Runs
7 1st (7) (5/2 -11%) Springt De La Mare	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(7) Springt De La Mare 5/2, €88,000 3-y-o, No Risk At All gelding. Dam French chaser (21f/25f winner). Won sole start in points (Apr 22). Won a maiden point at Necarne, beating the bumper runner-up Bleu De Vassy; respected.
5 2nd (5) (7/4 +7%) My Trump Card	1.75 7/4(+7%)	(5) My Trump Card 7/4, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 23 in novice hurdle (8/1) at this course (20f, heavy) on NH debut. Off 11 months. Makes bumpers debut. One to note. Was 4th in a maiden hurdle at this track a year ago; has the ability to win if all is well.
1 3rd (1) (2/1 +0%) Apple's Of Bresil	2 2/1(+0%)	(1) Apple's Of Bresil 2/1, Promising type. Seventh of 9 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft, 3/1) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Open to improvement and likely to make a bigger impact. Some promise on debut at Punchestown in April when ran green; should know more today.
2 4th (2) (22/1 -57%) Base Of Fire	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Base Of Fire 22/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Free Eagle gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including bumper winner/useful hurdler Glan and bumper winner Teuchters Glory. Dam, useful winner in Germany, stayed 1m. Worth a market check. Cost 20,000euros as a 3yo; yard is 4-21 in Irish bumpers last five seasons; check market.
4 5th (4) (40/1 -21%) Kinbara Firstdraft	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Kinbara Firstdraft 40/1, Koropick gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser The Granson, stayed 19f. Dam 1m winner at 2 yrs. Unplaced completed start in points (Apr 8). Doesn't make much appeal. Not a lot of encouragement from two point-to-point runs and best watched on bumper debut.
3 6th (3) (150/1 -127%) Drumgill	150 150/1(-127%)	(3) Drumgill 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in bumper (20/1) at Thurles (16.1f, soft) on NH debut 16 days ago. Hard to fancy. Soundly beaten in a Thurles bumper on recent debut and will have to improve plenty..
8 7th (8) (11/1 -22%) Tommies Call	11 11/1(-22%)	(8) Tommies Call 11/1, Once-raced maiden. Third of 18 in bumper (100/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Not discounted. Ran with credit in a valuable sales bumper on debut in April behind a smart mare; involved.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (15/2 -25%) Gamesters Guy	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(2) Gamesters Guy 15/2, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Gamesters Icon. Dam fair winner around 2m over hurdles, also winner up to 1½m on Flat. Represents an in-form yard and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. By Black Sam Bellamy out of a fairly useful dual-purpose mare; stable 3-8 in bumpers.
6 2nd (6) (12/1 +64%) Moonset	12 12/1(+64%)	(6) Moonset 12/1, Made the frame both starts in Irish maiden points late last year. Ought to have a future under Rules but one suspects that he'll come into his own a little further down the line. Beaten around 6l in two Irish points; yard 12% in bumpers; worth monitoring in the market.
3 3rd (3) (14/1 -460%) Jo Arengeot Bey Aa	14 14/1(-460%)	(3) Jo Arengeot Bey Aa 14/1, Fetched £50,000 after winning his sole start between the flags in March, and that form has substance (the runner-up has since won 4 times under Rules). Lots to like and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Point winner in March and runner-up has since won four handicap chases; big player.
5 4th (5) (11/2 +8%) Matthias	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(5) Matthias 11/2, Out of a 1¾m bumper winner/2m hurdle winner who stayed 21f. Yard boasts a decent strike rate in bumpers and he's one to note in the betting. Excellent stable won with this one's dam on debut back in 2013; very interesting newcomer.
8 5th (8) (33/1 +34%) The Grafter	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) The Grafter 33/1, €9,500 3-y-o, Workforce gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Man At Work, and half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Timeforben. Hooded for this debut, which is a slight concern, and others make more appeal in any case. Brother to a 2m4f hurdle winner; yard 0-7 in bumpers in recent seasons; hooded for debut.
7 6th (7) (5/4 +58%) Pleasington	1.25 5/4(+58%)	(7) Pleasington 5/4, €72,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Findthetime. Appealing type on paper and the market should point the way in terms of expectations of this 5-y-o. Stable, pedigree and price tag combine to make him one of the more attractive newcomers.
4 7th (4) (7/2 -3%) Kandor	3.5 7/2(-3%)	(4) Kandor 7/2, Irish point runner-up offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in bumper at Market Rasen for Michael Scudamore during the spring. Stepped up on that when runner-up on debut for new yard at Hexham (16.2f, heavy) last month and he's a strong candidate. Pulled a few lengths clear with winner when second at Hexham; unlikely to be far away.
1 8th (1) (16/1 +60%) Billy Butcher	16 16/1(+60%)	(1) Billy Butcher 16/1, £15,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Green Glory, stays 2¾m. Doesn't appeal as a probable first-time out winner on paper and will only be of interest if the market vibes are notably upbeat. Appealing pedigree for race of this nature but yard 0-18 in bumpers in last five years.

Form	Odds	Runs
2 1st (2) (7/2 +0%) Baby Kate	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(2) Baby Kate 7/2, Out of a dual bumper winner and made no mistake in an 8-runner event at Ballinrobe on debut 82 days ago. Something to find on form but, given her connections, demands a good deal of respect. Very well bred; winning start at Ballinrobe in August; open to any amount of improvement.
7 2nd (7) (33/1 -65%) Jeune Belle	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Jeune Belle 33/1, Made a promising start in bumpers last term and confirmed that encouragement when scoring at Huntingdon 19 days ago. Vulnerable at this level, though. Dug deep to win at Huntingdon but beaten 7l by Larchmont Lass the time before.
8 3rd (8) (16/1 -60%) Micks Jet	16 16/1(-60%)	(8) Micks Jet 16/1, Runner-up in a point and made the ideal start under Rules when scoring at a big price here in April. Disappointing at Sedgefield last month but might strip fitter for it. Disappointing last time but a leading contender on her clearcut win here in the spring.
13 4th (13) (33/1 -175%) Sunset Marquesa	33 33/1(-175%)	(13) Sunset Marquesa 33/1, Related to winners and made a successful start at Aintree last month. Has the potential for better so not out of place in this company. Made a successful debut at Aintree; more is needed but she could be a useful prospect.
1 5th (1) (12/1 -41%) Larchmont Lass	12 12/1(-41%)	(1) Larchmont Lass 12/1, Placed both starts prior to opening her account in listed contest at Sandown 8 months ago. Should be tuned up for this return but penalty makes life tougher in a race like this. Progressive; carries penalty after last-gasp win in Listed event at Sandown in March.
14 6th (14) (20/1 +29%) Tour Ovalie	20 20/1(+29%)	(14) Tour Ovalie 20/1, Stepped up on debut when runner-up at Ludlow 6 months ago but much bigger step forward required if she's to compete in this. Some promise in two bumpers in the spring; meets a higher calibre of rival here.
4 7th (4) (50/1 -127%) Betty's Tiara	50 50/1(-127%)	(4) Betty's Tiara 50/1, Half-sister to a bumper winner and followed suit at the first time of asking in a 10-runner event at Stratford in August. Only fifth at Aintree next time and likely to be outclassed in this company. Similar form when winning at Stratford and fifth at Aintree, but in much deeper here.
5 8th (5) (17/2 +15%) Disco Daisy	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(5) Disco Daisy 17/2, Doesn't stand out on pedigree but made a big impression when completing a successful start at Chepstow 8 months ago. Returns with stable going well and more than likely to be in the mix. Pulled 11l clear of second on debut at Chepstow; well worth her place in this higher grade.
11 9th (11) (10/3 +17%) Sharp Object	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(11) Sharp Object 10/3, Successful start in 8-runner event at Ballinrobe in September, then lost little in defeat to the talented Aurora Vega in a listed contest at Gowran last time. Worth a chance to resume winning ways. Promising filly; excellent second in Listed contest at Gowran last time; high on the list.
12 10th (12) (33/1 -136%) Springs A Girl	33 33/1(-136%)	(12) Springs A Girl 33/1, Half-sister to a bumper winner and off the mark at the first attempt at Listowel a couple of months ago. Has left Richard O'Brien since and has the scope for better. Trained in Ireland when making winning start at Listowel and that form has a solid look.
15 11th (15) (10/1 +17%) World Of Fortunes	10 10/1(+17%)	(15) World Of Fortunes 10/1, Confirmed debut promise when readily landing a 12-runner bumper at Wexford 6 months ago. That form hasn't really worked out but she has the potential for better. Promising; Wexford winner in May; bred to be useful and should not be passed over lightly.
3 12th (3) (14/1 -65%) Backdoorflush	14 14/1(-65%)	(3) Backdoorflush 14/1, Half-sister to bumper winner Finnthemagician and completed a solid start when runner-up at Sedgefield 38 days ago. More to come and may well feature. Went close to making a winning debut at Sedgefield and may improve for the run.
6 13th (6) (11/2 +8%) Easy Peasy	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(6) Easy Peasy 11/2, Picked up by top connections having made an impressive winning start in Ireland and maintained unbeaten record in ready fashion in a Plumpton event 55 days ago. One to consider with the scope for better still. Unbeaten in good-ground events at Killarney and Plumpton; has plenty of untapped potential.
9 14th (9) (11/1 +45%) Mill House Creek	11 11/1(+45%)	(9) Mill House Creek 11/1, Stratford winner who was outclassed in a listed event at Gowran 50 days ago and is likely to find this too much. Tongue tied for the first time. Well held by runner-up Sharp Object in Listed race at Gowran last time; tongue-strap added.
10 15th (10) (66/1 -100%) Miss Applejack	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Miss Applejack 66/1, Left debut form well behind when landing an 11-runner event at Ludlow in May. Backed it up with a creditable third there the following month but needs a lot more on return. Winner and third at Ludlow on last two starts; this is tougher.

6 2nd (6) (7/2 -40%) Kodebreaker	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(6) Kodebreaker 7/2, 5/1, shaped as if still in form when eighth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 15 days ago, short of room inside final 1f. Back up in trip. Shortlist material. Both AW wins at Southwell in 2023; same mark as close 4th over C&D in March; competitive.
7 3rd (7) (9/2 +68%) Brave Display	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(7) Brave Display 9/2, Course winner. Eyecover on for 1st time, wasn't seen to best effect when sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 4 days ago, racing wide home turn. Eyeshields back on. Not taken lightly. Multiple winner, latest over 1m at Southwell in February; ran well over C&D on Tuesday.
1 4th (1) (40/1 -400%) Escobedo	40 40/1(-400%)	(1) Escobedo 40/1, 6/1, improved when won 13-runner handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good to soft) 46 days ago, well on top finish. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Milton Harris (3,500 gns). This is his first start on the level for over 2 years so worth a second look. Gained first win last month (over hurdles); first Flat run for two years; new yard.
9 5th (9) (18/1 -50%) Native Melody	18 18/1(-50%)	(9) Native Melody 18/1, Winner at Lingfield in August. Below form when eighth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 79 days ago, hampered early in straight. Blinkers on 1st time. Broke duck over 1m1f on turf in August; ran flat later that month; R Birkett 3-13 for yard.
3 6th (3) (20/1 -67%) Dance Angel	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Dance Angel 20/1, Winner at Catterick in June. 11/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 43 days ago, forced to switch inside final 1f. First run for yard after leaving David O'Meara (only 1,000 gns). Took late 5th of 11 over C&D in September; fair 1m run after; sold 1,000gns since.
2 7th (2) (2/1 +67%) Ibiza Rocks	2 2/1(+67%)	(2) Ibiza Rocks 2/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (8f) 45 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Merits consideration. Encouraging debut for yard over 7f here but treading water since despite weights drop.
12 8th (12) (40/1 +0%) Athena Ballerina	40 40/1(+0%)	(12) Athena Ballerina 40/1, Ran poorly having sweated up beforehand when tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 14/1) 7 months ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Had few chances in handicaps but minor efforts here in the spring; had break since.
10 9th (10) (66/1 -32%) Peruvian Summer	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Peruvian Summer 66/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Again showed little when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good, 40/1) 4 months ago. Back down in trip. Three AW wins, on Fibresand and Tapeta elsewhere but having a slow time of it in 2023.
8 10th (8) (10/3 +17%) Kodi Noir	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(8) Kodi Noir 10/3, Latest win at Chelmsford City in September. 4/1, again ran creditably when second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 14 days ago, again carrying his head high under pressure.

4 11th (4) (18/1 -50%) River Wharfe	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) River Wharfe 18/1, C&D winner. 10/1, last of 7 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) in July.

Up 5 lb but she's still not taken lightly in her current mood. From off the pace she got off the mark fairly decisively at Newcastle (1m).
4 2nd (4) (5/2 +58%) Voltaic	2.5 5/2(+58%)	(4) Voltaic 5/2, C&D winner. 8/1, good third of 11 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 39 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards off a handy-looking mark. Placed in three of his six runs since winning off a similar mark under Sarah Bowen in July.
9 3rd (9) (2/1 +27%) Elusive Tiger	2 2/1(+27%)	(9) Elusive Tiger 2/1, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 3/1) 22 days ago. Not ruled out. Still a maiden but has performed respectably in all his handicaps; unlikely to be far away.
1 4th (1) (20/1 +0%) Pessoa	20 20/1(+0%)	(1) Pessoa 20/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good, 12/1). Off 100 days with work to do. Two heavy defeats this summer after two months off and now has a point to prove.
5 5th (5) (22/1 -10%) Dark Company	22 22/1(-10%)	(5) Dark Company 22/1, Latest win at Lingfield in July. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 20/1) 40 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Untrustworthy individual. Not on a bad mark but needs to improve on his recent efforts.
6 6th (6) (14/1 +13%) True Nation	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) True Nation 14/1, 25/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 16 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Not shown much in handicaps and the cheekpieces will need to bring her on.
3 7th (3) (16/1 -60%) Miss Calculation	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Miss Calculation 16/1, Course winner. 11/1, fair fifth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy) 37 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Quinn with more required. Form dipped on her final runs for John Quinn and stamina looks an issue.
11 8th (11) (80/1 -21%) Raincloud	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Raincloud 80/1, Seventh of 14 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 100/1) 73 days ago, merely closing up late. Down in trip with more needed. No wins in ten and hasn't progressed from a turf placing earlier in the year; opposable.
10 9th (10) (22/1 +12%) Miss Connaisseur	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Miss Connaisseur 22/1, Remains a maiden after 26 Flat runs. 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 65 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Has form here; poor last time at Chelmsford but could bounce back in new blinkers.
8 10th (8) (14/1 -27%) Nemorum	14 14/1(-27%)	(8) Nemorum 14/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in October. 11/4, ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Even if bouncing back from last time he has stamina queries over this far.

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 12f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
6 1st (6) (10/11 +64%) Incremental	0.909091 10/11(+64%)	(6) Incremental 10/11, Twice-raced maiden. 9/4, gelded and first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when second of 13 at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, clear of rest. Up in trip. Can surely find a race. Clear second on recent stable debut at Chelmsford (1m2f); up in trip today; good chance.
7 2nd (7) (7/1 -27%) Legacy Power	7 7/1(-27%)	(7) Legacy Power 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. Plenty of promise amidst greenness on debut (Lingfield AW) but finished weakly when fourth of 7 in maiden (2/1) at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 7 months ago. Gelded since and remains with potential. Safely held on soft turf in April but his debut in Polytrack in February was promising.
2 3rd (2) (40/1 -471%) Thirtyfourstitches	40 40/1(-471%)	(2) Thirtyfourstitches 40/1, Useful handicap hurdler, but well held last time. Classy jumper shouldn't be underestimated on Flat debut. Useful and prolific hurdler; throws in some lacklustre efforts; makes Flat debut today.
4 4th (4) (18/1 -80%) Barrel Aged	18 18/1(-80%)	(4) Barrel Aged 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. Off 8 months, 6 lengths sixth of 10 to Sir Terence Hadley in maiden at Southwell (11.1f, 10/3) 51 days ago. Could be one for handicaps. Fair form when second on debut in January but not seen again until lesser run in September.
1 5th (1) (15/2 +0%) Sir Terence Hadley	7.5 15/2(+0%)	(1) Sir Terence Hadley 15/2, 18/1, won 10-runner maiden at Southwell (11.1f) 51 days ago. Should improve again over this longer trip and he's one to consider. Led close home for 1m3f win at Southwell in September; needs further progress here.
9 6th (9) (125/1 -25%) Pacific	125 125/1(-25%)	(9) Pacific 125/1, Well held in mares bumper just 10 days ago. Well down the field when 25-1 for recent Warwick bumper; Flat debut today.
5 7th (5) (150/1 -50%) Implied	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Implied 150/1, Ninth of 11 in maiden (66/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) on debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Likely to need more time. Towards rear throughout when 66-1 for recent debut at Newcastle (1m4f).
8 8th (8) (9/4 +10%) Lord Melbourne	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(8) Lord Melbourne 9/4, Form of his second of 4 in maiden at Pontefract (12f, good to soft) is strong but disappointing when third of 13 at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, looking pretty reluctant when asked for an effort. Cheekpieces go on now. Worth another chance on balance. Shade disappointing when third last time but a major player if aided by cheekpieces here.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Wolverhampton Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Preference is for INCREMENTAL, who moves up in trip after a pleasing stable debut over 1m2f last month.

18:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
12 1st (12) (40/1 -100%) Petra Celera	40 40/1(-100%)	(12) Petra Celera 40/1, Winner at Catterick in July. 40/1, 10 lengths last of 12 to I'm Spartacus in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 36 days ago, slowly away. Not easy to make a case for on recent showings. Disappointing on her last three starts and urgently needs a reversal of fortune.
5 2nd (5) (4/1 -45%) Bulldog Drummond	4 4/1(-45%)	(5) Bulldog Drummond 4/1, In first-time blinkers and tongue strap, good second of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Shortlist material back in a nursery. Second at Chelmsford last time was a personal best; well drawn for a prominent racer.
1 3rd (1) (6/1 +40%) I'm Spartacus	6 6/1(+40%)	(1) I'm Spartacus 6/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October. 7/2, disappointing when seventh of 8 in nursery at same course (7.1f) 18 days ago. Place claims if able to bounce back. Dual 6f winner at Newcastle; needs to bounce back from poor last run but it's possible.
7 4th (7) (11/1 +45%) Split The Profit	11 11/1(+45%)	(7) Split The Profit 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Marked improvement on third run when fifth at Chelmsford; more to come on handicap debut.
9 5th (9) (18/1 +28%) Alfa Whiteburd	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Alfa Whiteburd 18/1, Not seen to best effect under hold-up tactics when eighth of 10 in nursery at Newcastle (6f, 40/1) 7 days ago, not much room. Should be sharper now but high draw rates as negative. 0-7; better than result suggests (short of room) when eighth of ten at Newcastle; chance.
6 6th (6) (16/1 -146%) Newport Bay	16 16/1(-146%)	(6) Newport Bay 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Unseated rider in nursery at Bath (5.7f, soft, 5/1) 47 days ago. Steadily progressive beforehand and can give a good account with 6f likely to suit. Late headway after tardy start on most recent completed outing; could still be unexposed.
2 7th (2) (22/1 -83%) Cotai Vision	22 22/1(-83%)	(2) Cotai Vision 22/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner seller (5/4) at this C&D 56 days ago, finding extra. First run for yard after leaving Ed Walker. Needs a couple of these to falter to overcome high draw. Took advantage of a drop in grade when winning C&D seller for Ed Walker; this is tougher.
3 8th (3) (9/1 -20%) Princess Alex	9 9/1(-20%)	(3) Princess Alex 9/1, Winner at Pontefract in July. 14/1, respectable third of 7 in nursery at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 54 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Step back up in trip looks a sensible move and she's not discounted. Respectable third over 5f at Hamilton last time; should stay 6f; AW debut.
8 9th (8) (11/2 +21%) Whoop Whoop	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(8) Whoop Whoop 11/2, Fifth of 8 in nursery at Bath (5.7f, soft, 7/2) 47 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Blinkers on 1st time. May do better having slipped further in weights. Seven-race maiden; beaten favourite three times; now wears blinkers.
10 10th (10) (40/1 -100%) Chumbaa	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Chumbaa 40/1, Latest win at Ripon in August. 20/1, fourth of 7 in nursery at Newcastle (5f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Operating below best on recent starts. Two summer wins but not in quite the same form since; having 18th run and looks exposed.
11 11th (11) (7/2 +56%) Havana Smoke	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(11) Havana Smoke 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, much improved when third of 12 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 14 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Significant progress when third at Chelmsford; open to more improvement now handicapping.
4 12th (4) (17/2 -21%) Ninety Nine	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(4) Ninety Nine 17/2, Winner at Hamilton in June. Back on track when third of 6 in nursery (8/1) at Nottingham (5f, soft) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Merits consideration. Signed off for Richard Fahey with good third at Nottingham; interesting on AW debut.

The percentage call is BULLDOG DRUMMOND, in good form, proven under the conditions and drawn on the inside.

18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 4) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (13/2 +46%) Star Mind	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(5) Star Mind 13/2, Twice-raced filly. 5/1, last of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, soft) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Ryan. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Change of surface and first-time headgear may prompt a bigger effort; new stable.
1 2nd (1) (7/4 -17%) Berrygate	1.75 7/4(-17%)	(1) Berrygate 7/4, Gregorian filly who shaped well amidst greenness when third of 11 in maiden at this course (6.1f, 13/2) on debut 12 days ago, nearest at the finish. Sure to be all the better for that initial experience and has leading claims. Eyecatching third in 6f maiden here last week; respected with improvement on the cards.
4 3rd (4) (8/1 -60%) Say You'll Never	8 8/1(-60%)	(4) Say You'll Never 8/1, Foaled February 18. €35,000 yearling, Oasis Dream filly. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to high-class 7f/1m winner Creachadoir and half-sister to top-class winner up to 13f Youmzain. Would enter calculations if supported in the betting. 35,000euros yearling; by Oasis Dream out of a well-related 1m4f AW winner; interesting.
6 4th (6) (40/1 +39%) The Real McKay	40 40/1(+39%)	(6) The Real McKay 40/1, Looked one for the longer term when down the field in maiden (200/1) at Southwell (7.1f) on debut 39 days ago. Hinted at ability in Southwell maiden but the bare form isn't compelling.
7 5th (7) (9/2 +44%) Theworldsnotenough	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(7) Theworldsnotenough 9/2, Offered something to work on when fourth of 10 in C&D maiden on debut 25 days ago, nearest finish. Should have more to offer. Showed promise in similar event over C&D last month; open to progress; shortlisted.
3 6th (3) (12/1 +0%) Nad Alshiba Queen	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Nad Alshiba Queen 12/1, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 11f-17f winner Amade and useful 7f-1m winner Nakuti. Offered something to work by the end on her recent course debut and is entitled to improve. No impact over 6f here 12 days ago but may do better over this longer trip.
8 7th (8) (11/1 +8%) Wild Saffron	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Wild Saffron 11/1, Foaled March 5. Land Force filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7f House Deposit. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Land Force half-sister to a 6f/7f winner; one of two newcomers in the field.
2 8th (2) (4/1 -14%) Morindoo	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Morindoo 4/1, Twice-raced filly who shaped better than first time up when fourth of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW) 11 days ago. May do better still. Leading player if latest effort (80-1 fourth at Lingfield) is backed up.

18:30 Wolverhampton Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

Preference is for BERRYGATE, who was an eyecatcher here 12 days ago. Theworldsnotenough is second choice.

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
3 1st (3) (17/2 -89%) Diamondsinthesand	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(3) Diamondsinthesand 17/2, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/2) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Widest stall not ideal. Never nearer than at the finish over 6f at Kempton; returning to further a plus.
1 2nd (1) (9/1 -100%) Written Broadcast	9 9/1(-100%)	(1) Written Broadcast 9/1, Three wins from 19 runs this year, the latest over C&D in May. Not so good over 6f at Newcastle lately but has dropped to below that latest winning mark now returned to a C&D which suits him better. Worth chancing to bounce back to form. Has been struggling of late over 6f but this C&D winner is better at 7f.
4 3rd (4) (66/1 -32%) Liv Lucky	66 66/1(-32%)	(4) Liv Lucky 66/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. Below form in 3 outings this yard at the start of the year and best watched back from 7 months off. 1-24; below par in three runs for this yard and has been off since April.
8 4th (8) (9/2 +10%) Cheese The One	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(8) Cheese The One 9/2, C&D winner in August. 17/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Should give another good account. Has continued to run well since her C&D success off 3lb lower in August.
9 5th (9) (8/1 +33%) Bear To Dream	8 8/1(+33%)	(9) Bear To Dream 8/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) 73 days ago. Latest Lingfield fifth can be upgraded; 0-9 on the AW but needs considering.
6 6th (6) (11/4 +0%) Neptune Legend	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(6) Neptune Legend 11/4, Latest win at Lingfield in October. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (7/2) back there (1m) 13 days ago. One to consider from a handy draw. Well drawn for a front-runner but much depends on how this pans out.
12 7th (12) (10/1 +60%) The Grey Bandit	10 10/1(+60%)	(12) The Grey Bandit 10/1, Unreliable type. 16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 16 days ago. Down in trip. Good Bath run in July but below that level since on the AW.
5 8th (5) (9/2 +44%) Alyara	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(5) Alyara 9/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Third over C&D prior to that. Has been running well for a while and latest fifth here can be upgraded.
7 9th (7) (10/1 +17%) Blackcurrent	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Blackcurrent 10/1, Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle (6f) in September. Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Newcastle (6f) 11 days ago. Front-runner who arrives here in good form but he's made his name as a sprinter.
11 10th (11) (50/1 +0%) Romantic Memories	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Romantic Memories 50/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for. Maiden with a patchy profile but wasn't far away on her penultimate start.
2 11th (2) (33/1 -136%) Luxy Lou	33 33/1(-136%)	(2) Luxy Lou 33/1, Unreliable sort. Latest win at Bath in July. Eighth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Lingfield (7f) 11 days ago, merely closing up late. Has been very slowly away the last twice and comes with risks.
10 12th (10) (40/1 -21%) Billy Wedge	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Billy Wedge 40/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, last of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) when last seen in May. Likely it's best to look elsewhere. Three wins at Newcastle; modest strike-rate and has become hard to predict.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

Form	Odds	Runs
5 1st (5) (10/1 +9%) Lady Dreamer	10 10/1(+9%)	(5) Lady Dreamer 10/1, Last of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Kempton (7f) 24 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Others make more appeal. Ran poorly over 7f at Kempton last time and needs to bounce back.
11 2nd (11) (5/2 -25%) Mumayaz	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(11) Mumayaz 5/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 7/4, good second of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago. Shortlist material. Knocking at the door, short-headed at Lingfield two weeks ago; deserves to go one better.
12 3rd (12) (14/1 +13%) Catesby	14 14/1(+13%)	(12) Catesby 14/1, C&D winner. Won 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 16/1) 39 days ago, keeping on well. Should give another good account. Well ridden from the front when winning at Southwell; up 4lb but unlikely to be far away.
2 4th (2) (7/1 +0%) Starproof	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Starproof 7/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in August. 9/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Not the most consistent and has a tricky draw to contend with. Front-runner; back to form when second over C&D last month; should make another bold bid.
10 5th (10) (6/1 -50%) Ultramarine	6 6/1(-50%)	(10) Ultramarine 6/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 10/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Enters calculations. Unlucky when third over C&D last time, short of room for long way; major contender.
3 6th (3) (5/1 +58%) Miss Mai Tai	5 5/1(+58%)	(3) Miss Mai Tai 5/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in July. 20/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f) 25 days ago, slowly away. Not discounted. 7f might have stretched her stamina here last time; interesting returned to this distance.
1 7th (1) (12/1 -9%) Lilkian	12 12/1(-9%)	(1) Lilkian 12/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 22 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in October. 16/5, bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago. Should be back on his game. AW specialist who arrives in form after Lingfield win and Chelmsford fourth; in the mix.
9 8th (9) (11/1 +0%) A Pint Of Bear	11 11/1(+0%)	(9) A Pint Of Bear 11/1, 9/2, creditable 2¼ lengths second of 7 to Lilkian in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago. Well treated if he can back that up. Second over C&D and at Lingfield, both in October; should be thereabouts again.
7 9th (7) (10/1 +17%) Impeller	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Impeller 10/1, Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy, 6/1) 29 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Not taken lightly. Consistent for Tim Easterby, sold for 5,500gns after finishing third at Redcar.
6 10th (6) (40/1 -60%) Many A Year	40 40/1(-60%)	(6) Many A Year 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Brian Meehan when ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for. Has shown little in AW handicaps last two starts, including on stable debut on latest.
8 11th (8) (20/1 -43%) Dyed In The Wool	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Dyed In The Wool 20/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Something to prove at present. Falling in the weights but hasn't been showing much, well held over C&D 12 days ago.

A C&D event 12 days ago saw ULTRAMARINE (nap) finish an unlucky third and he makes most appeal, ahead of the reliable Mumayaz.

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
4 1st (4) (25/1 +0%) Pop Dancer	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Pop Dancer 25/1, C&D winner. Successful at Brighton in September but below form both starts since, ninth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 66/1) 17 days ago. Capable on a going day as he drops back down in grade/trip. C&D winner; won a small-field event at Brighton in September; less good twice since.
9 2nd (9) (8/1 +11%) Pepsi Cat	8 8/1(+11%)	(9) Pepsi Cat 8/1, Returned to winning ways at Bath in August. Again ran well when second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 15 days ago, running on having had to wait for a gap. Could be thereabouts once more. Improving all the time and showed Tapeta was no problem when second at Newcastle latest.
1 3rd (1) (9/4 +36%) Jenever	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(1) Jenever 9/4, Four wins from 11 runs this year, making it back-to-back victories with a ready success in 10-runner handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 9 lb rise in the weights. Giant strides this year, notably bolting up at Newcastle two weeks ago; strong contender.
8 4th (8) (12/1 +0%) Sarah's Verse	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Sarah's Verse 12/1, Course winner. Not discredited when fourth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this course (6.1f) 12 days ago, nearest finish having not been ideally placed. Needs everything to drop right (often starts slowly). On a fair mark and ran OK here 12 days ago (6f); more required to take this though.
3 5th (3) (2/1 +40%) The Thames Boatman	2 2/1(+40%)	(3) The Thames Boatman 2/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (5f, soft, 6/4) 78 days ago, despite typically racing freely. Can give another good account after a break. Both wins here; expensive to follow but he's got lots of talent relative to his mark.
7 6th (7) (33/1 -83%) Jeans Maite	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Jeans Maite 33/1, C&D winner. Turned in best effort of the season when second of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm, 25/1) in July. Has been off since, but did win on the back of a similar absence in December last year. Front-runner; conditions fine and can go well fresh; lower draw would have been ideal.
2 7th (2) (7/1 -272%) Level Up	7 7/1(-272%)	(2) Level Up 7/1, C&D winner. 5 wins from 19 runs this year, with latest success at Ffos Las in July. In first-time blinkers, below form eighth of 11 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good, 13/2) 39 days ago. Interesting contender with visor reapplied. C&D winner last December; five wins in 2023; not at best last time but type to bounce back.
5 8th (5) (25/1 -56%) Reigning Profit	25 25/1(-56%)	(5) Reigning Profit 25/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 9 runs this year, including at Ripon in May. Failed to come on for recent run when last of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (5f) 11 days ago. Back down to his last winning mark, but others more persuasive. Easy winner of this race last year; in fine form in spring; below par latest; needs more.
6 9th (6) (8/1 -7%) Rodborough	8 8/1(-7%)	(6) Rodborough 8/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Southwell in August. Has remained in good heart both starts since, leading until the final 1f when fourth of 10 in handicap (7/4) at Newcastle (5f) 15 days ago. Has widest draw to overcome. 2 Southwell wins; still improving but she'll need another personal best to defy wide draw.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Jenever continues to progress but THE THAMES BOATMAN has more than enough ability to defy this mark at a track where he goes well.

20:30 Wolverhampton Handicap (Class 5) 12f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Runs
8 1st (8) (13/2 -8%) Niarbyl Bay	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(8) Niarbyl Bay 13/2, 5/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Will need to raise his game in order to emerge on top here. Things never went to plan on his return from a break at Kempton (1m3f).
11 2nd (11) (7/2 +42%) Story Horse	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(11) Story Horse 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 9/2) 24 days ago. Likely to do better at some point but will probably find a few good on this first run on tapeta. Maiden promise; possibly needed his handicap debut after a break and ran okay.
10 3rd (10) (8/1 +0%) Absolute Queen	8 8/1(+0%)	(10) Absolute Queen 8/1, Latest win at Windsor in July. Good third of 12 in handicap (14/1) at this course (9.5f) 25 days ago. Up in trip and she merits serious consideration off the same mark. Good third behind previous winners here recently and worth trying over this far.
4 4th (4) (5/1 -100%) Shazam	5 5/1(-100%)	(4) Shazam 5/1, Latest win at Leicester in June. 11/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good to firm) 42 days ago. Well held both previous starts on the AW, but has clearly improved since and she has to enter calculations. Running well in handicaps until struggling in a Class 2 at Newmarket most recently.
2 5th (2) (11/4 +61%) Percy Willis	2.75 11/4(+61%)	(2) Percy Willis 11/4, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in October. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 9/1) 3 days ago, not much room. Best to put a line through that run and no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. Had been running well until a below par effort at Newcastle three days ago.
7 6th (7) (14/1 +0%) Fox Flame	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Fox Flame 14/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year, the latest at Lingfield in September. Ninth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 19 days ago. Looks vulnerable. 1m4f/1m5f wins on the AW this autumn but has struggled in her last couple of starts.
5 7th (5) (50/1 -213%) Swift Tuttle	50 50/1(-213%)	(5) Swift Tuttle 50/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (16.2f, good, 33/1) 25 days ago, not knocked about. Makes tapeta debut and improvement needed if he's to open his account in this sphere at the tenth attempt. Recent winning hurdler; Flat maiden but has threatened off similar marks.
9 8th (9) (18/1 -227%) Rebel Angel	18 18/1(-227%)	(9) Rebel Angel 18/1, Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, didn't need to improve to win 6-runner claimer (7/10) at Les Sables-d'Olonne (13.4f, good) 35 days ago. One to note in the betting back on these shores for new yard. Left former French connections in excellent form and could be interesting.
1 9th (1) (18/1 -29%) Awesome Dancer	18 18/1(-29%)	(1) Awesome Dancer 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. 16/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 17 days ago. Entitled to come on for that (was returning from a 16-month absence) and his only other run in a handicap resulted in a win at Ascot in July 2022. Not one to write off. Ascot winner in 2022; recent return from an absence at Kempton was possibly needed.
3 10th (3) (22/1 -57%) Zhang Fei	22 22/1(-57%)	(3) Zhang Fei 22/1, 28/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) when last seen 7 months ago. Each-way chance if fully tuned-up starting out for new yard here in a first-time hood. Went close over this far on the AW in April; off since and has moved yards.
6 11th (6) (14/1 +13%) New Dayrell	14 14/1(+13%)	(6) New Dayrell 14/1, Winner at Sandown in August. 16/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 25 days ago. Up in trip and, though capable of playing a part off this mark, the percentage call is to look elsewhere. Has regressed since a turf win in August and he's unraced over this far.
12 12th (12) (100/1 -100%) Ten Ten Twenty	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Ten Ten Twenty 100/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 11 in handicap at this C&D (80/1) 12 days ago. Can only be watched at present. Has ability but hard to recommend after finishing tailed off here only 12 days ago.

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.
